KALAMAZOO — Farmers Alley Theatre will take an unabashed look at the American Dream with the comedy "Superior Donuts," which makes its Michigan debut at the theatre Feb. 10-26.
Playwright Tracy Letts "calls it his update on the American dream and the culture-clash comedy," director Adam Weiner said.
Kalamazoo saw Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning "August: Osage County" at WMU last fall. That was a dark comedy about a dysfunctional family where the American dream was a nightmare. He also wrote the creepy and horrific thriller "Bug," which became a film of the same title in 2006.
Where "August" was about "basically, hopelessness," Weiner said, "Donuts" "is very much the opposite."
It's about a "makeshift family" at a north Chicago donut shop in a multicultural non-gentrified neighborhood. Aging hippie Arthur Przybyszewski (Michael Ray Helms), runs it. His real family is gone, he's alone and depressed. "He basically became a ghost in his own shop, in his own life," Weiner said.
If you go
"Superior Donuts"
When: 8 p.m., Feb. 10-11, 16-18, 23-25; 2 p.m. Feb. 12, 19, 26
Where: Farmers Alley Theatre, 221 Farmers Alley
Cost: $25-$21
Contact: 269-343-2727, farmersalleytheatre.com
A young black man, Franco (Anthony J. Hamilton), comes in, pressures Arthur for a job. "They develop this unlikely friendship. Franco is full of life and energy and possibilities," he said. Where Arthur looks like he's still in mourning for a time when Jerry Garcia was still alive, Franco is busy working on "the great American novel" even though he has to survive the Chicago street.
Helms, seen in "Escanaba in Da Moonlight" and "Escanaba in Love," "has great natural ability at comic timing, but also he has a real honest sensibility to the way he presents his characters," Weiner said. Hamilton, Loy Norrix grad, current WMU student, has been on most of the big stages in the area. "He brings a great contrast," Weiner said.
Also in the cast is equity actor Jason Grubbe, from Iowa City, Iowa. He plays Russian shop owner Max, "a really funny role, and another culture clash."
Reviews have compared "Superior Donuts" with the '70s sitcoms of Norman Lear, "which mixed smart jokes and social commentary in satisfying proportions," the New York Times wrote of "Donuts'" 2009 Broadway run. The paper called the show "a gentle comedy that unfolds like an extended episode of a 1970s sitcom... a warm bath of a play that will leave Broadway audiences with satisfied smiles rather than rattled nerves."
It might not be as edgy as Letts' other work, but there's some meat on this donut. "The hippie who runs the shop, the young African-American kid, the two cops, homeless lady -- you think you know who these people are, but then they surprise you," Weiner said.
Basically, "It's very accessible to audiences," he said. It becomes a story of "how hope can survive, and how dreams are still real, and the American dream is still alive."

Session 2 - Everything Else.
Display session, Friday, June 27
Ballroom C, Chair: Richard Canfield
Magnetic flux concentrations in the quiet photospheric network show a complex dynamics which includes merging of colliding fluxes, the "total" or partial cancellation of neighboring fluxes, fragmentation and others. We propose a mechanism to explain the observed phenomena based on the idea that magnetic flux concentrations in the photospheric network are essentially non-collinear. We show that non-collinearity of colliding fluxes leads to the whole new class of effects which are observed; for example, the apparent cancellation of opposite polarity fluxes turns into the formation of horizontal magnetic fluxes (which later may appear as a new weaker bipoles) and is accompanied by the shock formation and mini-flares. In the case of shock formation the reconnection area becomes a source of the acoustic emission; mini-flares may be seen as bright points. The energetics of these processes strongly depends on geometry of "collision" and physical parameters of colliding fluxes. For example, if colliding fluxes have comparable and "small" cross sections, the reconnection results in complete reorganization of their magnetic fields; if merging fluxes are large enough or considerably different, magnetic flux may be only partially reconnected and partially survived. Reconnection of non-collinear equal polarity fluxes leads to the "scattering" processes which include the fragmentation into several smaller fluxes if initially colliding concentrations carried different amount of magnetic flux. We give the example of numerical simulation for the case of merging and fragmentation process occurring during the collision of collinear "strong" and "weak" magnetic flux concentrations. The calculation results shown to be consistent with observational data from both the SOHO/MDI instrument and the Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope on La Palma.

Local band My Heart to Fear is gearing up to release its first album on a record label, "Into the Maelstrom," on Solid State Records. But the journey to the group's success hasn't been an easy one.
Members Trevor Pool, Dale Upright, Jay Graham, Taylor Pool and Luke Brady have been working at this for seven years.
"Taylor and I met when I was a freshmen at Jersey Shore and he was in 10th grade," Brady said, who has been playing the drums since he was nine. "He had a friend who played guitar, so we met up and jammed. I was 14 when we started the band. I had played drums in church before, but basically we were starting all together."
Article Photos
My Heart to Fear is seen.
"The wheels really started turning when I joined the band," Graham added.
After a member left the band, Graham, who is from Elkland, joined My Heart To Fear.
"I became family with them instantly," he said. "We got contacted by Micah from Tooth and Nail. He had seen an old video of the band. He let us know, 'I've heard of you.' Right there we were like, 'Oh yeah, this is awesome.' Then things got more serious. We went to Texas and met up with them. They loved us and we've been able to build a relationship with them."
The band made itself memorable to the record labels, going as far as actually mailing a toilet with their EPs inside of it with a note that said, "Listen to our music, it's not crappy."
For My Heart to Fear, it worked. The label told them they needed a bit more work and asked to see them in a year.
The band feels at home with Solid State, saying that the label is like family.
"The cool thing about Solid State is that they are really down to earth," Upright said. "There are a lot less bands on the label than with major labels. All the bands are intertwined, more like a family. A lot of labels were like, 'Sign this contract now!' and trying to take advantage of us."
Although the band has had a little bit of a member change up, they still remain friends.
"The one thing I take a sense of pride in is the fact that we've kept all of our members, except one that left two years ago," Trevor said. "There are some bands, like recently, that we've heard of, that have had 30 member changes. For us, we don't know how that's possible. We're all best friends."
"That isn't even a band anymore, it's a corporation. Mindless fiends to do your work," Graham said, jokingly.
If My Heart To Fear could be cornered to a genre, they identify with Christian metal. Lead singer Trevor said he writes a majority of the lyrics.
"I base it off of ethical, political, religious and controversial topics," he said. "The world is begging for equality and respect, be tolerant of each other's beliefs. That's what Christ stood for. People will comment on our videos and say, 'I'd like them more if they weren't Christians,' but how does that make sense?" Trevor and his brother, Taylor, were kicked out of their church because of their band, but that didn't stop them.
"The thing that we've always dealt with is Christianity and Christianity as a way of life," Brady said. "We are all talking together constantly and praying together constantly and reading our Bibles. 'Christian' is defined as 'Little Christ' and if you look at the way he lived and did things, he was bold and confident. He didn't go up to people and say, 'Oh I'm the son of God.' We try to hook people in with our music, but we're going to give them us and what we are. We are followers of God."
"The one thing I love about this genre, is that we're not a worship band," Trevor said. "We like to go to places where people question who made God and why is there suffering and give them answers."
The band has come up against other adversities, including vehicle problems while on the road.
"We've had vehicle issues almost every tour we've been on," Upright said. "We were stranded in New Mexico for two and a half weeks one time. And when we went to Texas, we had to stay there for two extra days."
The band turned to their fans when they were stranded in a parking lot during a tour.
"We put on Facebook, we don't have money to do anything to our car," Brady said. "We posted that at 10 p.m. and we had $1,700 donated the next morning. We were not expecting that, it was awesome."
"It's the fans letting you know they are there," Graham said.
"The fans make the band," Upright said. "It helps build your faith, you have to believe that God's going to take care of you. There's literally nothing you can do to help yourself on the road. You have to rely on God."
All the members of the band are still determined on making this a full-time venture. "I'm most excited to work up to doing this as a full-time job. All of us right now have part-time jobs. But if we could, we could spend more time making us better and better," Upright said. "As long as we can pay our bills. We're not trying to get rich."
"It's humbling to still work at McDonald's even though I'm signed to a label. I'd like to think that's going to change," Trevor said.
"The funny thing is about being in a band and working at a grocery store in customer service is that on the weekends at shows, kids are running up to me and saying, 'Wow, Look at you!' I'm just doing what I love. But then I go to the grocery store and people are like, 'I hate you'," Brady said.
The band has seen immense growth in their fanbase in Williamsport. "We just want to do nothing but support the scene. We really want to see Williamsport have awesome shows," Graham said.
All the members commented about the energy of the crowds, which, in turn, pumps them up. Knowing most of the concert-goers helps the atmosphere for the band as well.

Dear Abby: My mother and I were close growing up. However, when I was in college she abandoned the family (my siblings were in high school and elementary school) for her much younger boyfriend.
Since then, our relationship has been strained, particularly since I learned she used to tell her then-husband she was visiting me when she was carrying on her affair. After that, I learned about additional lies she had told me throughout my childhood.
I'm married now and have two young children. Until a year ago we lived in the same city. Mom never came around much because she was preoccupied with finding new boyfriends to support her. She has since moved out of state and stalks me on Facebook, harassing me to get Skype so she can talk to my children.
My mother has never apologized for her actions to anyone and thinks we should just "get over it." Because so much has come out about her, I want to protect my children from being hurt by her the way I was.
I can't tell her outright that I don't want much to do with her for fear it will send her into an "episode," and I don't want my kids caught in the crossfire. If I try to sugar-coat what needs to be said, she won't get it. What should I do? — Frustrated Daughter
Dear Daughter: Frankly, you'll save yourself a lot of grief if you just tell your mother you're not getting Skype and the reason why, and let her have her "episode." As a parent, you have every right to insulate your children from anyone you feel might be a negative influence — and that includes their grandmother.
Dear Abby: I have been dating my boyfriend for more than a year and we are considering marriage. I am 23 and have never been dissatisfied with the way I look.
The other day he told my friend that when we get married and become financially stable, he would pay for a boob job for me. I'm offended, mostly because I don't want one and don't think I need one. Do you think this speaks to his character (or lack thereof)? — Not Going Under in Louisiana
Dear Not Going Under: No, I think it speaks to the degree he assumes he can control or make choices for you. That he would say something like that to one of your friends without having discussed it with you is rather disconcerting. I don't blame you for being offended.

By Jodi Jill for National Celebrity Headlines Examiner
April 26, 2011
La Toya Jackson was the latest celebrity who heard the words 'You're Fired' in Donald Trump's boardroom on Sunday night's Celebrity Apprentice. After being targeted by the project manager, Star Jones, it was no doubt Jackson would have some words on how she was eliminated for her exit interview on the NBC Today show Monday morning.
Sharing what some might be surprised to learn, the ladies team A.S.A.P. is a cutthroat group of women. Unwilling to back down, the ladies take it to such a level that the audience seemed shocked to watch.
"It's sad when people take it to a different level. We are doing it for charity. I think we should keep that in mind, but there are some that would cut your throat to get ahead," says La Toya Jackson. "That's the personality of the true individual."
While La Toya Jackson was fired this week, don't expect the drama to end as Neke Leaks and Star Jones go head to head in the next task. With money on the line, the ladies don't seem to back down on any level. Neke has said more than once the love is lacking between the two ladies and rumor for the show is one of the biggest showdowns on Apprentice is coming up next week.
As for La Toya Jackson she is getting on with her life and helping her charity after being cast off the show. AIDS Project Los Angeles, which was the charity on the Celebrity Apprentice benefited directly from the funds they received and Jackson is the one to thank for that as she had to tolerate the cutthroat attitude on Celebrity Apprentice.
The Celebrity Apprentice is on Sunday night. Check your local listing for showtime.

BOSTON - Vin Baker is expected to miss his 10th consecutive game Thursday night, a mark that could allow the Boston Celtics to terminate a contract that was to pay him $35 million more over the next 2 1/2 years.
Baker missed two months and the playoffs last season after he checked into a rehab center to treat alcoholism. He agreed at the time to follow an aftercare program this season and submit to frequent testing.
But Baker failed to comply with the terms of the agreement at least three times, and was suspended indefinitely on Jan. 23. The team has not disclosed the nature of the violations, which could include a positive test or refusal to take a test.
Only the doctor overseeing Baker's care, approved by the team and player, can determine if he's ready to return. But the agreement said that if Baker wasn't back within 10 games, the Celtics have the right to terminate his contract.
"We continue to wish him the best, but other than that we're not commenting," Celtics spokesman Bill Bonsiewicz said Wednesday from Chicago, where the Celtics were preparing to play the Bulls.
Baker, who said he began binge drinking during the 1998-99 lockout, was suspended Feb. 27, 2003, and didn't play again last season. But after treatment he returned in better shape and determined to make it up to his teammates.
He scored in double figures in 21 of his first 35 games, but then his production dropped off again. He totaled just 12 points in four games before being suspended for three games, then played in just two of the next five games before being suspended again.
The 6-foot-11 Baker was the eighth overall pick by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 1993 draft. He averaged 21 points and 10 rebounds over his last two seasons in Milwaukee before he was traded to Seattle for the 1997-98 season.
His first season in Seattle showed only slight dropoff, and he was good enough to be picked for the 2000 U.S. Olympic team. But by the

It's been about seven years since Brad Simmons has been on stage in Birmingham.
Once a regular in Birmingham theater – mostly in musicals such as "Kiss of the Spider Woman," "Hello, Dolly!" and "The World Goes Round" – Simmons moved to New York in 2003, where he has been mostly writing, directing and teaching.
What: Brad Simmons in concert
Where: The Martha Moore Sykes Studio at the Virginia Samford Theatre, 1116 26th St. South
When: Friday at 10 p.m., following a 7:30 p.m. performance of "Grey Gardens"
Tickets: $10; call 251-1206, where you can also get tickets to "Grey Gardens," which runs through Sunday
But when Dane Peterson called him and asked him to appear in the musical "Grey Gardens," playing the role of accompanist George "Gould" Strong, Simmons didn't think twice.
"Dane said, 'I'd like you to come down and play Gould,'" Simmons says. "I've had tons of people say, 'Man, that's a role for you,' so I jumped at it."
"It's a piano, singer, actor role, and there aren't many of those," he says. "I was the right age for it, and I definitely have played flamboyant characters before."
Most of all, though, it meant Simmons – who graduated from the University of Montevallo in 1997 – could get back on stage.
"I had not been performing, and I wanted to perform," he says. "New York knows me as a musical director and a pianist, which is great, but I've really wanted to get back on stage."
While he's here in "Grey Gardens," which runs through May 9 at the Virginia Samford Theatre, Simmons will present a cabaret concert after Friday night's performance in the Martha Moore Sykes Studio upstairs at the Virginia Samford.
Simmons has always written and performed rock music and has recorded three CDs.
This show, though, will be a bit different, inspired by a show that Simmons was recently involved with at New York's Second Stage Theatre.
Simmons was the musical consultant for the show, which starred John Lithgow as a social columnist with a penchant for Cole Porter's music.
"My job was to listen to these mp3s of Pearl Bailey doing the song 'Mr. and Mrs. Fitch,' transcribe it and then transpose it to a key that would fit John's," he says.
So while he's in "that groove," Simmons is presenting an evening of jazz music for his Thursday concert.
"I put together this cabaret show that I'm really proud of, and I want to get back to New York and get into a studio to record it," Simmons says. "There's some cool, cool stuff in it, including some Duke Ellington, some Noel Coward and some Kay Thompson. Just some fun stuff."

Another topic of intense debate is underage children sharing sexually explicit images with each other. Given the fact that many underage teenagers in the EU and U.S. are sexually active and many possess smartphones, there's been a rampant rise in teens trading sexually explicit video and pictures. According to laws in the U.S. and most of the EU, this is classified as "child pornography". Teens can face prison time, even if they were the same age, were only sharing with their significant other, and were not being malicious.
Making the matter worst, most teenagers are relatively ignorant about the law when it comes to such matters. And enforcement is inconsistent -- 999 out of a 1,000 or even 99,999 out of 100,000 "sexting" incidents go unreported or are dismissed by local law enforcement, but occasionally an unlucky teen actually has been sentenced to prison for such behavior.
Sources: Eric Schmidt/The Daily Mail, BBC News
quote: As far as the legal definition of "child pornography" goes, it prohibits sexually explicit photos or video of people that are younger than 18 years. Fairly arbitrary, but I guess the idea is that if you're 18 you can legally enter a contract and therefore agree to allow yourself to be filmed in a porno.
quote: Biologically, the human body pubes out around 12-14 so technically you're not a "sick pervert" if you are attracted to a teen girl with big tits - while not socially or legally acceptable, it is biologically normal.
quote: That is a legitimate sickness and it's not much different than homosexuality.
quote: Your stuff about lifestyle is a mess. Sexual orientation is not a matter of lifestyle and is not chosen.
quote: And you have drunk a bit too much of the Kool-aid. Your statement is the current politically correct view.
quote: Honestly there is still a lot we don't know or understand about a lot of these topics that to consider a particular opinion or view as the end of the matter is unwise, close-minded, and potentially damaging to those that are caught in the middle.
quote: It's based on the archaic idea that skeletal maturation = adulthood. Lazy lawmakers and the ignorant public that backs them are apparently content to throw adolescents and young adults into a single category with prepubescent children ("minor"). This recklessness carries a price, though. It's the young people who generally pay it.
quote: That would be 14-17, in terms of our "minor" categorization.
quote: There are hebephilia and ephebophilia to cover the state of pubescence and the post-pubescent adolescent respectively. Hebephilia is close enough to pedophilia, given our social strictness about sexual activity, that ephebophilia is the main issue.
quote: So, precisely speaking, attraction to older adolescents is not necessarily an example of ephebophilia, and ephebophilia is not considered a disorder unless it involves obsession.
quote: You really fell off the rails.
quote: It is a scientific fact, known since 1956, that homosexuality isn't a disorder. Dr. Hooker exposed the illusory correlation between mental disorder and homosexuality by avoiding the employment of a polluted sample (men with a history of treatment for mental illness). The APA finally got around to recognizing this fact in 1973 when homosexuality was removed from the DSM.
quote: And, even without those facts, simple logic shows that there is very little commonality. Pedophilia involves attraction to prepubescents, not sexually mature people. Homosexuality involves attraction to sexually mature people.
quote: Your stuff about lifestyle is a mess. Sexual orientation is not a matter of lifestyle and is not chosen. Virgins have just as much of an orientation as prostitutes.
quote: Heterosexists claim that homosexuality is a lifestyle (as if a gay Buddhist monk in Tibet has the same lifestyle as a gay Hollywood actor) and a matter of choice because it makes it easier for them to condemn. They don't, of course, deal with the fact that religion is a matter of choice. The only thing left for the heterosexist, given the scientific facts, is a religious basis for condemnation.
quote: Pedophiles are vilified because they tend to put their sexual appetite ahead of the well-being of children.
quote: It is true that one psychologist controversially said that sexual activity between children and older people is not necessarily damaging -- that it's the negative social reaction that actually does the damage (shaming of the victim, et cetera) -- it must be recognized that our culture behaves this way.
quote: A responsible pedophile would manage her/his disorder by using virtual art (such as illustrations), something that Supreme Court ruled is legal.
quote: I am not an expert in this area
quote: As far as treatment goes... pedophilia is apparently incurable.

Today is rainy, dark and cold. I was literally soaked by the time I made it to work. Slanted rain does a number on ones' commute. There were broken umbrellas in every trash in the Gold Coast. Gotta love Chicago weather! LOL! I seriously need to get a pair of those rain boots I see everyone wearing.
During this time of year I love walking to work. Due to rain my little plan has been foiled. I'm on vacation next week so I'll try again in November. The two mile walk is a great way to start my day.
Tonight I'll probably do an upper body workout. Nothing crazy. I'm a little tired so I don't want to push it. 4/5 exercises sound about right. Some friends want to go salsa dancing tonight, but I just don't have it in me. Maybe tomorrow.
On to the food . . .
Day 1
B: 7 bacon, 1 c venison Stew with carrot & onion, and 1/4 c brown rice
L: 1 c venison stew with carrot & onion, 1 chicken breast, 6 romaine leaves, 2 tbsp olive oil vinagarette, 1 tbsp goat butter, 1 Zevia root beer soda
My goal this upcoming week is to only do two meal. My evening meals feel a bit useless at this point, and they only make even more hungry in the mornings. I'm sure I eat them too late, but I end up having to prepare them later in the evening due to my schedule. I've already prepared a weeks worth of dinners for the BF so he should be good to go without me.
Looking forward to seeing how not eating in the evening makes me feel. Just hope I don't get hungry.

Where Have You Gone, Ozzie Timmons?
Ozzie Timmons smacked a two-out game-winning walk-off HR in the bottom of the 9th to give the Cubs the victory in the last game played at HoHoKam Park before the stadium was to be demolished...
in 1996.
But it's now 2013, and in the last Cactus League Spring Training game played by the Cubs (as the home team) at HoHoKam Park before moving to their new facility at Mesa Riverview next season, Nate Tenbrink ripped a two-out two-strike two-run single and Kelly Shoppach followed with an RBI double into the LF corner, as the Seattle Mariners rallied for three runs in the 8th to defeat the Cubs 6-4.
Carlos Villanueva got the start for the Cubs and threw five strong inings (90 pitches - 59 strikes), allowing three runs (only one earned) on four hits and two walks in five inings (plus one batter in the 6th). He struck out three.
Michael Morse put the Mariners on the board in the top of the 2nd with a solo HR over the fence in right-centerfield, but the Cubs came back to score three off SEA starter Hisashi Iwakuma in the bottom of the 3rd. Arismendy Alacantara (up from Minor League Camp) led-off the inning with a triple off the right-centerfield fence, and scored on a line-drive PH RBI single to right by Zeke DeVoss (also up from Ninor League Camp). Then with two outs, Alfonso Soriano clubbed a two-run home run (his team-leading 5th Cactus League HR) over the LF fence.
Villanueva was crusing slong with a 3-1 lead going into the 5th, but a throwing error by 2B Tim Saunders (another player up from Minor League Camp) on what should have been the start of a 4-6-3 DP put Villanueva behind the 8-ball, and the M's made him pay when Kyle Seager stroked a two-out two run double to left that tied the game at 3-3.
But the Cubs took the lead again in the bottom of the 6th, as Brett Jackson did his Jackie Robinson impression.
Jackson drew a lead-off walk, advanced to 2nd base on a fly out to CF (the first instance of aggressive baserunning by B-Jax), and then scored on another bit of fancy baserunning. Dioner Navarro chopped a bouncer that was fielded by the third-baseman, who eye-checked Jackson back to 2nd before throwing Navarro out at 1st for the second out of the inning. But Jackson only pretended to go back to 2nd base, instead racing for 3rd once the third-baseman began his throwing motion to 1st, and he was able to slide safely into 3rd as 1st baseman Tenbrink's throw sailed past third-base and into LF foul territory, which allowed Jackson to jog home with the go-ahead run.
LHP Hisnori Takahashi (who apparently has claimed the 12th spot on the pitching staff) relieved Villanueva in the 6th and retired seven of the first eight men he faced, before running into trouble in the top of the 8th. With one out, Jesus Sucre and Jason Bay singled, and then with two outs, Nate Tenbrink (a LH hitter facing LHP Takahashi) pulled a two-strike pitch into RF for a two-run single, and then Kelly Shoppach followed with an RBI double.
It is fairly obvious that while he has the ability to throw multiple innings and probably make a spot start when needed, Takahashi is not particularly effective against LH hitters, and so he's not the type of lefty you bring into a game to try and neutralize Joey Votto at a critical point. James Russell (who is basically a 7th inning guy who happens to throw LH) isn't especially tough on lefties, either, so the Cubs might want to keep their eyes open for a true LOOGY, should one become available.
Shawn Camp pitched out of a runner at 3rd & one out jam in the top of the 9th, striking out the last two men he faced to leave the runner stranded. (Camp struck out the side in a 1-2-3 inning vs SF on Monday).
Welington Castillo singled to lead-off the bottom of the 9th and bring the potential tying run to the plate three times, but the next three hitters went down 1-2-3.
No sign of Ozzie Timmons anywhere.
So the Cubs spent their last day as the home team at HoHoKam Park. The stadium will remain open until December, with the AZL Cubs (June-August) and Mesa Solar Sox (October-November) playing their home games there later this season. The facility will then be closed for about a year while it undergoes a renovation (seating capacity will be rduced as grandstand seats will be removed and patio-picnic areas will be constructed), and then the Oakland A's will relocate to HoHoKam Park (and Fitch Park) in 2015.
The Cubs have a lengthy history in Nesa. They moved their Spring Training HQ to Rendevous Park (southeast corner of University & Center) from Santa Catalina Island in 1953, thanks to the efforts of Mesa businessman Dwight (Pat) Patterson (the first Big Ho) and the rest of the HoHoKams (Mesa businessmen & boosters). The Cubs Spring Training home remained at Rendevous Park through the 1965 season, before being moved to Long Beach, CA for a year (Leo Durocher's first season as Cubs manager). Meanwhile, the Kansas City Athletics (later the Oakland A's) noved to Meaa and replaced the Cubs at Rendevous. The Cubs moved back to Arizona from Long Beach in 1967, but this time they were based at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, and this is where I first experienced Cubs Spring Training in the 1970's.
The Cubs moved back to Mesa from Scottsdale in 1979, but by this time a new Spring Training ballpark was in service (located at HoHoKam Park on Center Street north of Brown Road). The Cubs played in this stadium for 18 years (through Spring Training 1996), after which a new stadium (Dwight Patterson Field) was constructed on the same site.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Diamondbacks and Paul Goldschmidt have agreed to a five-year, $32 million contract extension with a club option for 2019. ESPN/XM's Jim Bowden first broke the story, and Rosenthal provided the contract terms.
"Tigers signed RHP Justin Verlander to a five-year, $140 million extension with a vesting option for 2020."
"Giants signed C Buster Posey to an eight-year, $159 million extension with a $21.4 million club option for 2022."

Kinda hits at the point that Hendry and McPhail were complete ass hats when it came to scouting and development.....
Theo Epstein has also taken steps toward increasing the size of what had been one of the smallest front offices in the game. The moves that have gotten the most attention have involved an embrace of analytics, with the Cubs signing a big deal with Bloomberg Sports to provide them with data. Less heralded but perhaps more significant, the Cubs have hired a bevy of new scouts in all aspects of the game—amateur, pro, international, and major league. Creating scouting depth is a critical part of any plan that involves significant investment in building through player development.
In a few short years Theo has done light years better work with our minors than 15+ years of failure from Hendry and McPhail.

probably saturday depending on what they do with hammel (assuming friday for ham).
Lester is going to get one more start, right? It sure would be nice to see him get a shot at 20 wins.
Nicely done! I think in my 10-14 games I went .500 or a little over. Strangely, I went to the Cards games they mostly lost (incl Saturday) and the one SF game they lost, plus a couple Brewers games they lost, too. I should have gone to just Reds games. But still - saw mostly very good baseball on the North Side this year. Regardless of what happens come October - the Cubs are positioned for some good times in the next 3-5 years.
First Cub victory at home this year for me!
Saw all four starters this year
RIP Arnie. We could use a lot more like you -- a man who succeeded and failed on his own terms, a true original, and, finally, a remarkable example of graciousness towards others.
Cubs finish 33 over at home. I was, personally, one game over at 3-2, which was one of my better years in a while.
I do hope that's the last time we see the Cardinals this year. A lot of power, which is dangerous, particularly in a short series, and they have really shut down KB all year.
Oh, and Jon Lester? Damn!
Yes. Boating accident at 3AM. Very sad, but stupid. Young men do stupid things.
lester puts 2 on and is taken out at 96 pitches. oh well.
edwards in.
2 out in the 7th, lester at 84 pitches, ross taken out for the standing O.
it's possible contreras will catch lester for another inning+.
What a weird day. Jose Fernandez and Arnold Palmer, but then Scully and, on a much more modest level, Ross....
d.ross gets his 2nd standing O on the night (last home game of the season)...hits HR #10...curtain call. baseball.
as a fan, he only "owes" us the game on the field and not getting in the way of others on his team being ready to play (imo).
it's exponentially worse to his family and friends, but this dude most likely had 15+ years of play left and even though he just turned 24 a couple months ago he had already established himself as a top guy in the game.

Updated #Cubs probs vs Pirates: Mon, Hendricks vs Kuhl; Tue, Lackey vs Vogelsong; Wed, Arrieta vs Taillon; Thu, Zastryzny vs Nova
I know what you're trying to say, Charlie, that none of us feels what his loved ones must be feeling.
On the other hand, what makes a death like this tragic is precisely the loss, based on Fernandez's youth and brilliance, to the baseball world.
So, for example, we can say that Princess Diana's death meant more, in aggregate, to millions of admirers who didn't know her personally than to her loved ones.
boston pitching snags a couple of mlb team records...
"Over nine innings of play, Boston's staff struck out 11 straight Tampa Bay Rays hitters Sunday, breaking the major-league record for most consecutive strikeouts in a game.
The previous record was held by former New York Mets right-hander Tom Seaver, who struck out 10 straight hitters in 1970.
Not only that, but with a strikeout to end the ninth, sending the game into extras, Boston's staff also struck out an MLB-record 21 batters over nine innings."

John Sculley
The Man at Apple's Core Lives in No Time Zone—and Wants to Change Your Future
What Sculley, 54, has is a grueling, round-the-clock work schedule that is extraordinary even by CEO standards. If he isn't holding one of the 7 a.m. staff meetings that have been a staple at Apple since he joined the company 10 years ago, it is only because he is in Europe, Japan, Washington or somewhere else in the U.S. promoting Apple products and his vision of the future. "I don't live in any particular time zone," he says. "Sometimes I go to bed really tired, and I don't think I'm going to want to get up. Like last night. But This morning my mind was going in five different directions, and I was really excited and energized."
If Sculley is running on pure adrenaline these days, who can blame him? At a time when most personal-computer makers—including the behemoth IBM—are struggling for survival, Apple posted record revenues last year (more than $7 billion). The Powerbook, its notebook computer introduced in 1992, quickly became the best-selling computer on the market and a must-have accessory for the trendy. But for Sculley, selling computers is only the beginning. A Renaissance man who once had his sights set on a career in architecture and design, Sculley wants to change the world. Or at least America.
"Our resources are no longer coal and iron ore and things that come out of the ground," he says in his sparsely furnished office at Apple headquarters in Silicon Valley. "The strategic resources are things that come out of people's minds." Sculley has campaigned vigorously for fundamental changes in education, job training and the economy to meet the high-tech future. He is also fighting for the construction of a technology infrastructure—a nationwide "data superhighway"—that would transmit vast quantities of information quickly and help create jobs.
It is this vision of the future that transformed Sculley, a lifelong Republican, into an avid Clinton supporter. George Bush "is a very nice person, but he obviously had no interest in anything we [in the high-tech industry] were talking about," says Sculley. "Remember, this was the President who was amazed by the scanner in a supermarket." Sculley, who had met the Clintons while Bill was still a Governor, helped mobilize the business community for the Democratic ticket and has become a valued adviser to both Bill and Hillary. "John was instrumental in the development of the President's overall economic plan," says White House Chief of Staff Thomas McLarty. The Clintons, Sculley says, "are the kind of people I'm attracted to. They're builders."
As a child growing up in New York City, Sculley was, by his own admission, a nerd. Hindered by a severe speech impediment, he lived in the interior world of his imagination until his mid-teens, when, with the help of a hypnotist, he overcame his stammering. "I couldn't even walk into a store and buy a pack of gum," says the man who is now one of the corporate world's most sought-after speakers.
Inspired by his grandfather W.B. Smith, a sailor, boat builder and engineer who helped design one of the first submarines, Sculley wanted to be an inventor. But he also inherited his mother Margaret's love of art. "He was constantly drawing and building things," says his younger brother David, 46. Sculley dreamed of combining his passions for art and inventing by becoming an industrial designer. However, his father, Jack, a Wall Street lawyer, wanted his sons to follow in his footsteps.
When Sculley announced his intention to skip college and go to art school, his father wouldn't allow it. In a compromise, Sculley studied architecture at Brown University during the day and art at the nearby Rhode Island School of Design by night. In 1960, while still at Brown, Sculley married Ruth, stepdaughter of PepsiCo president Donald Kendall. The couple had two children, Meg, now 30, and Jack, 27, and Sculley's relationship with his father-in-law changed the course of his life. At Kendall's urging, Sculley took a business degree from the Wharton School, then went to work at McCann-Erickson, a New York City advertising agency. His marriage to Ruth ended in 1965, however, a victim of Sculley's unyielding passion for work.
Once they were no longer related (Kendall and Ruth's mother were divorced at about the same time as Sculley and Ruth), Kendall hired Sculley at PepsiCo, where he learned every phase of the business, lugging soda eases around stockrooms, tearing his fingers repacking bottles and sweating in the Arizona sun installing Pepsi signs. In 1977 Sculley was named president of PepsiCo"s soft drink division. Married briefly for a second time. Sculley then stirred controversy within the company in 1978 by marrying his third wife, Carol Lee "Leezy" Adams, now 49, the ex-wife of a former PepsiCo vice president and the mother of a 10-year-old daughter.
By 1982, Sculley was one of three hand-picked contenders to replace Kendall as chairman of PepsiCo when he retired. It was then that Sculley was unexpectedly offered the top spot at Apple. He knew little about computers, but was attractive for his management skills. Though Apple was only five years old—having moved al warp speed from a company located in the garage of its founders, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, to the FORTUNE 500—the opportunity captured Sculley's imagination. So did the now famous pitch made by Jobs, then 28, a vegetarian and a college dropout. "Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugar water?" Jobs asked Sculley. "Or do you want a chance to change the world?"
Choosing the latter required an adjustment of epic proportions for Sculley. who had to go from pinstripes to corduroy and from formal meetings in the august PepsiCo boardroom to brainstorming in Apple's funky cubicles. Perhaps most significant, he went from being a respected leader in his industry to an object of suspicion that he was just another empty suit. Sculley quickly proved otherwise when, less than two years into his tenure at Apple, the bottom fell out of the computer market. Sculley had to make tough decisions—decisions Steve Jobs con bin I live with. "Everyone says I took his company away from him," Sculley says, "but I told him he could have it back. I didn't like the direction it was going. It was ultimately the board of directors who made the decision." Jobs, who quit and started a computer company called Next, refuses to comment.
To get Apple back on track, Sculley, who is known for such openhanded policies as on-site childcare, profit sharing and employee sabbaticals, cut staff, closed factories and reorganized the company. When a second crisis occurred in 1990, he reduced his own $2.2 million salary by a third and look over the reins as technical chief. In that role, he has now bet the future of the company on a new group of products called the Newton, scheduled for introduction later ibis year. The small, hand-held devices perform a wide variety of office functions—as typewriters, calculators, calendars, faxes, modems, telephones and radios. "If it works out well, it will be great." he says. "If it doesn't work out, I guess I'll be looking for a new job." With Sculley's history, no one is betting against him.

ASBURY PARK – Opportunity is knocking in Asbury Park, but civic leaders say a whole portion of the city's youth lack the skills to answer.
That is where Kula Café comes in.
The small eatery, at 1201 Springwood Ave., Asbury Park, trains youth from the city's west side to work in the restaurant industry.
The café is a godsend, said Ramona Thornton, executive director of the nearby non-profit F.B.I.G.
"A lot of the kids here were never taught the things that we take for granted," Thornton said. "Why it is important to dress up, take the earrings out of your ears, treat people respectfully – so it can be hard for them to get a job."
F.B.I.G. does basic job training, placing some of their protégés at the Kula Café under the auspices of chef Wendolynne Escobedo.
"We start with the basics, how to greet the guests, how to introduce themselves, smiling, getting over the barriers, whether it be how they speak to people or body language," Escobedo said. "Then we move on to how to set a table, and even though we're not a fancy restaurant, I teach them how to set a table for fine dining because there's no telling what kind of restaurant they could work in when they leave us."
That includes the surprisingly tricky skill of taking an order quickly and accurately and communicating it to the kitchen staff – most restaurants use a computer system where the service staff enters in orders, and Kula Café employees are trained to navigate that process.
Escobedo said the restaurant, which features a staff of 18-to-21-year-old community members, was the brainchild of Langosta Lounge owner Marilyn Schlossbach.
"Marilyn came to me with this idea and said 'I think you'd be great for it'" Escobedo said. "I worked for many years in the front of house, I've always loved this environment, I was always the one who was showing people how to do stuff. I really enjoy spending time with these kids and seeing them from the beginning to when they're ready to go out and find a job."
Kula trainees will hopefully fill positions in the city's growing restaurant industry.
"There's a restaurant opening every day in Asbury Park, but they're outsourcing to other towns to find staff," Escobedo said. "We're hoping to meet the restaurants' needs, and provide an economic boost to the west side."
The café offers healthy entrees and appetizers at a bargain price – diners can get a sandwich and a side for less than $10 – an oasis in the west side's food desert.
"We wanted people to feel like they could come here instead of McDonalds," Escobedo said. "There aren't many options in this neighborhood, but for a lot of people, this is where they live. The food here is fresh, not frozen, and healthy – a lot of people have responded positively to that."
Asbury Park native Erica Jones, 21, was waiting tables in the café Friday afternoon.
"It is really hard to find a job here without help," Jones said. "The people here are really nice, and the food is good. During the week we're busy, a lot of business people come here."
Thornton said Kula Café's impact is being felt in the community.
"It makes a big difference for these young people," Thornton said. "You cannot talk theory until you talk practical – they have to learn to clean up, be on time, call if they're going to be late. It translates to them why it is important that they get it."
Escobedo said the café is sometimes used as a meeting place in the community, and is reaching out to offer catering at community events. On Thursdays, she and some employees are staffing a stall at Asbury Park's Vibe in the Streets street parties on Cookman Ave.
The café is open from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. For more information, visit the café's website or call 732-455-0514.

Guardian Beasts Invade Pockie Pirates
2012-11-14 22:10:07
Pirates get two new game modes and a beast of a pet system
NGames, a leading online games publisher, has announced the immediate introduction of "Guardian Beasts", a brand new pet system, to One Piece browser-based MMO, Pockie Pirates.
Following the launch of "Chapter 5 – The Straw Hats", which added new All Blue crew members and adventures, Pockie Pirates players can now raise and train their very own beastly pets. Using Guardian Beasts, pirates can take punishment and still turn the tide of crew vs. crew battle in their favour, unleashing their new pet to deliver potentially combat-defining blows to opponents.
What's more, the introduction of Guardian Beasts adds two exciting new game modes to the free-to-play MMO, allowing players to sculpt their pets personalities into unique killing machines.
Raising Hell
Upon reaching level 30 players can acquire an unhatched egg, which must be nurtured before it hatches. By effectively nurturing and levelling their egg with different enhancement items, pirates can ensure that their Guardian Beast enters the world with the strongest possible skills.
Eggs hatch when they reach level 20, springing forth a unique beast with its own personality of attributes, including active skills and a passive skill slot. Every Pockie Pirates pet is born with a unique active skill with the option to add new skills later, allowing for a huge variety of different pet + skill combinations.
Hatched Guardian Beasts act as an effective crew member in battles, but they come with a twist. Instead of attacking and being susceptible to harm from opposing players like the rest of the crew, Guardian Beasts instead watch the action unfold from the sidelines. As the captain of the crew takes damage, the beast becomes angered and gains Fury. When the Fury meter hits 100, the beast jumps into battle and unleashes its powerful skills on the opposing crew.
Players can level and earn EXP for their Guardian Beast by playing through the new Guardian Beast Adventure mode, while special enhancement items, active skills, and passive skills can be acquired by finishing the all new Combo Adventures.
Whether a Guardian Beast learns the same skill repeatedly to become an expert in its field, or simply learns multiple skills to encompass a range of talents, is entirely the players choice.
"Chapter 5: The Straw Hats" and the new Guardian Beasts are available now. Players can join the race to become the King of the Pirates for free today by joining Pockie Pirates on Game321: http://pirates.game321.com/

text: I am trying to figure out the best placementfor the baby seat. If you google the answer I find says to place the baby in the middle of the backseat. However, i think I've always seen the carseats placed behind the passenger seat so the driver can see the baby in the rearview mirror using a baby mirror and you can reach them easier. Also i would think if they are placed by the door it is easier to place the seat into the base. But then I think too that the middle is safer in case of any side impact collisions...so any insight would be helpful! Im confused and we are planning on installing our bases this week.

Today marks the last day of this year's legislative session, with the bulk of the business done but a few loose threads still waiting to be tied up.
The session is ending on a note of intrigue as Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell prepares to leave his post to assume the presidency of the College of Charleston and Sen. John Courson, R-Columbia, stepped down as Senate President Pro Tem - a far more powerful position - to avoid become the next lieutenant governor.
Meanwhile, a Clemson poll released Wednesday, probably the last public poll before Tuesday's primaries, showed U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham with 49 percent but none of his challengers above 8 percent. It adds an element of intrigue to the question of whether Graham can crack the 50-percent plus one mark necessary to avoid a June 24 runoff.
Here's our story: Graham could win without runoff, Clemson poll suggests.
Later today, South Carolina's big political event will unfold in Columbia as the four Republican candidates for lieutenant governor: Mike Campbell, Pat McKinney, Henry McMaster and Ray Moore debate one another.
The debate is scheduled to air at 7 p.m. on ETV-HD and will stream live on scetv.org.

It's obvious why church has lost its political clout
Douglas Turner's lamentation over the Catholic Church's lack of political clout turns a blind eye to the silliness and inconsistencies of the bishops when they enter political waters under the guise of religious freedom.
Name a Catholic who hasn't used a Catholic hospital and felt the administration was more concerned with securing payment than curing the sick. Legions of non-Catholic professionals are employed to sustain these "non-profit" institutions. As far as I can see, health insurance is nothing more and nothing less than part of an employee's compensation package. There is no statement of religious freedom to be made; and it's none of the employer's business to try to make it so. The Church has made an informed decision to be an employer – and an employer of all faiths in order to achieve its perceived goals. It just doesn't want to be a responsibly adult one.
As a Catholic, I am annually solicited to contribute to Catholic Charities. Oddly, the federal government directs a portion of tax dollars to support the agency's programs. Where is the bishops' outrage at this violation of the separation of church and state? My donation is to help the poor, yet the church has no problem creating the poor by firing a Catholic school teacher after learning she is a lesbian. The action was swift and irrevocable. Yet, discovery motions in civil lawsuits have found that the Vatican often failed to act on requests to terminate child-abusing priests.
Without a compass, how can the church project consistent political clout, rather than sounding like a bunch of whining, alarmist, old white men?

Wii U
lolz Pachter says Nintendo fans will buy a cardboard Box that Says Nintendo
Well it's kinda hard to track such things down, I have seen it though and clearly there are people who do take him seriously some of the time or else he wouldn't get so much attention and have his own show on Gametrailers. I did try and find one example where someone posted a topic on the Vita board where he'd said the Gaikai acquisition would only be used on their TV's and will have no impact on their consoles and treated this is fact, and then someone linked to a topic on this board where he'd been saying Pachter was never reliable. I tried to find it, but it appears to have been deleted.
Yes, thats why I said the minority. Most people on this board take everything Pachter says with a grain of salt because he's been wrong SO many times. Of course there will be a few people who take him seriously or a few people who flip flop their opinions in their favor, but thats the minority. There are a few fanboys here, yes. But is it so hard to believe that some people just enjoy Nintendo games for what they are? Every time a troll posts something negative about the WiiU and someone disagrees, they're immediately labeled as a blind fanboy.

I'm not saying everybody who likes Nintendo games is a fanboy, I mean I like Nintendo games myself, just not to the exclusion of any others.
Also my comments are only directed at the fanboys, the vast majority of the userbase on this site is perfectly reasonable, it's just the Nintendo faboys are a bit overrepresented on this board in particular. It works both ways too, anyone who says anything even vaguely critical of Nintendo is immediately labelled a troll and a good chunk of the users here get seriously defensive. I got some rather ridiculous responses just for saying that analogue sticks would be better than slide pads, until of course Nintendo decided to go with them then suddenly it was the best decision.

Yeah except the people who argued against you probably arena not the same people who are saying analog sticks are the best decision now. In fact, most of the real fanboys might be the same people, who are just more vocal than others.
Do you get what I'm saying? Cause I'm running on literally 0 hours of sleep here and I'm having a hard time trying to put what I'm thinking into words right now, lol.
But another example, take me, I take games and hardware for what they are. The 3DS doesn't have a second analog stick? Okay,that's fine, as long as devs don't make games that require a second one then theres nothing to get upset over. If it had one, that would be fine too. People mistake this as blind fanboyism, when it isn't. Then again, I'm more of a laid back person and can usually enjoy almost any game when other people take small flaws and blow them completely out of proportion.

Like a child throwing a tantrum over being wrong. It is only made that much more sad that this tantrum has been going on since the launch of the Wii.

Seinfeld's Secret - Here's an interesting success sorry based on following Jerry Seinfeld's productivity secret.

If you don't do your specified task on one day, you don't get an X and that chain is broken. It seems almost too simple to work, but it's allowed me to accomplish so much more than I ever thought possible."
