My guess. Icom has 8V on the mic line to drive preamps, since they decided not to put them in the radios :-(. Need a DC blocking capacitor in line. Forget the value, but want to pass voice and block DC. Should be referenced in the manual, or on the web all over the place.

Ensor, John, Cottam, Angela and Band, Christine (2001) Fostering knowledge management through the creative work environment: a portable model from the advertising industry. Journal of Information Science, 27 (3). pp. 147-155. ISSN 0165-5515Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
Within the knowledge-creating organisation, building communities
of practice and allowing people to form social networks
in order to disperse information is critical in order to
foster creativity and innovation. It is argued that in order to
exploit explicit knowledge and build an effective community
of practice, there needs to be a work environment that
encourages information sharing, creativity and innovation.
The main approach of this research was to explore senior
management's perceptions of the positive and negative factors
that foster or hinder the social work environment. A
conceptual model designed by Amabile et al. [5] was used as
a framework for a series of qualitative interviews with senior
managers within the UK advertising industry. This research
found that UK advertising agencies are organised in a manner
that allows them to strongly reinforce the work dimensions
that foster a social/creative work environment and therefore, effectively utilise explicit knowledge. The factors
that usually hinder the creative working environment of an
organisation were largely lacking in these agencies. The findings
support the argument that this highly creative industry
does replicate best practice and can be seen as a benchmark
for other organisations. However, it is argued that the advertising
industry may be more applicable as a benchmark for
other service-based industries and knowledge-based organisations,
particularly in the new economy, rather than large
production-orientated industries.

Bill Search:
Committee Findings: Some of the supporters of HB 181 are Standup for What's Right and Just (SURJ), The Delaware State Bar Association, The American Bar Association, The Federal Courts Study Committee and The Judicial Conference of the United States. A few reasons they support the bill are:
- They believe that judicial discretion should be returned to the very competent judges.
- They assert that mandatory minimum sentences support "assembly line justice."
- The victims and suspects of the case deserve and appreciate trial hearings.
- Causes prosecutors to become better, more efficient prosecutors.
- Eliminating mandatory minimum sentencing will not make drug sentences go away.
Some of the opponents of HB 181 are the Attorney General's Office, Criminal Justice Council, Chief of Police Council, and Delaware Sentencing Accountability Commission (SENTAC). A few reasons they opposed the bill are:
- HB 181 is a solution in search of a problem.
- No member of any branch of government should be given unfettered discretion.
- Before additional discretion is given, it should be considered to whom the discretion will be applied to.
- Most crimes are directly or indirectly related to the possession, sale, or usage of drugs.
- Mandatory minimum sentencing works and is effective.

News worth celebrating on a snowy day
In the waning days of Operation Deep Freeze, it isn't what happened that will live in my memory, but three things that didn't.
No. 1 in importance, the power never went out.
I live in the boonies, you might say, where there are tall trees on both sides of the road which contribute to my usual half a dozen power outages per year by falling over due to wind, snow load or errant drivers and tree fallers.
I was able to buy my house because the previous owner threw in the towel after two weeks of trying to keep warm in front of a fireplace when the power was out that long.
My husband and I resolved the problem by having installed in the kitchen a supplemental Goldilocks stove that can heat the whole house and you can cook on the surface.
We only used it in power outages.
Why the power stayed on this time I have no idea why, since I had a rare 8 or 10 inches of snow.
Normally, since I live in the Sequim belt, I don't get much, if any, snow.
No. 2 is the fact that, due to temperatures in the teens, I had my dogs in the house 99 percent of the time and they didn't pee on the rug once.
I did get up a couple of times each night to let them out if they wanted to go. If they pretended to be asleep I accepted that they would let me know and they did by staging a wrestling match in front of my closed bedroom door.
I didn't leave them out more than 10 or 15 minutes so they obviously made use of the time to do what they had to do.
No. 3 probably should have been No. 1.
I read and listen to everything about colon cancer. I've lost a couple of friends to it, so I take seriously the necessity of regular examinations.
In my first, many years ago, the doctor snipped off a polyp shaped like a mushroom that was benign.
I have had regular colonoscopies ever since, a year apart and of late five years apart with no further discoveries.
Everybody hates colonoscopies — not the procedure itself, because they give you a shot that puts you out like a light.
You don't feel anything, you don't remember anything.
You have have an adult with you to hear the doctor's report and drive you home. All I remember from my last one was him saying, "See you in five years."
What you hate is the preparation. Years ago, you had to give yourself enemas and drink a lot of crappy stuff.
Then it was a lot of saltwater and clear liquids the day before. I didn't get too upset because I included in the clear liquids a few McNaughton's and water.
Anyway, Dec. 22 was my date for this year and it did nothing for my morale to find high up in the preparations those dreaded words, "No alcoholic beverages."
The prisoners at Guantanamo couldn't feel any lower than I did.
Five days before the event, I got a call from my doctor's nurse. "You don't have to come in for the colonoscopy," she told me. "The doctor says you haven't had any polyps for 10 years and at your age, you don't need any more colonoscopies."
"Who are you really?" I asked.
"This is a joke, isn't it?" I said. "You're kidding."
"No, no, no," she answered. "The doctor says this is his Christmas present to you."
A couple of hours later, however, I got a call from the clinic where I was booked. A nurse wanted to discuss the preparations with me.
No need, I said, the doctor has let me off.
Call him, I said. Minutes later, the doctor's nurse was calling to apologize profusely for the other nurse's call which was in error.
"Then I'm in the clear?" I said. "I'm off the hook?"
"As I told you," she said, "this is the doctor's Christmas present to you."
And a merry, merry Christmas to him too, I decided, reaching for the McNaughton.

Small Business
Health care continues to be an important issue for small business owners. The Small Business Administration and Small Business Majority are committed to helping businesses navigate the changes and opportunities in health care through the free Affordable Care Act 101 webinars, available via your own computer.
An observation worth noting: I have recently been approached by a growing number of people wanting to build a web site for their business. This would have been a much more daunting process even a few years ago. However the Web has evolved to meet these needs more easily. There now exist many online storefronts through which small businesses can be run. Though I am unable to recommend one service over another, either through direct experience or secondary knowledge, here are a few of the more popular selections that can help anyone get started.

MARSHALL - As one Southwest Minnesota State Mustang softball player put the finishing touches on a sterling career over the weekend, another found her groove in the season's final games and stirred up hope for the future.
First baseman Amy Dreessen, the lone senior on the SMSU roster for 2013, went 3-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in her final game Sunday, the second game of a doubleheader against Minnesota State-Moorhead at Mustang Field. Ranked in the top five in school history in multiple statistical categories, she perched herself at the top of the list with a .726 slugging percentage and a .554 on-base percentage, both of which are new SMSU single-season records.
And in the circle, SMSU sophomore Rachel Hoeppner earned four victories in four games, including a pair of shutouts. Saturday, she led SMSU to a 2-0 win over Northern State in the first game of a doubleheader, then had a big hand in a 5-3 win over the Wolves. Sunday in SMSU's last two games of the season Hoeppner threw an eight-inning complete game shutout in a 1-0 victory over Minnesota State-Moorhead and capped things off with five shutout innings of work in a 6-1 win over the Dragons.

Southwest Minnesota State shortstop Chelsey Rodenkirch, center, fires a throw to first base to turn a double play in the top of the sixth inning of Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader versus Minnesota State-Moorhead at Mustang Field.
The Mustangs missed out on the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference playoffs for the second time in school history, and for the second straight year, with a 12-16 mark in the conference (19-21 overall). But with Hoeppner earning five wins in the team's final six games, SMSU head coach Missy Bruggeman was excited about what the future holds for the young pitcher.
"In her last few outings here we saw the consistency and the confidence that she was sometimes lacking during the rest of the season," Bruggeman said of Hoeppner, who finished with a 13-13 record. "Part of it for her was coming out and throwing hard and believing she could hit the spots that she needed to hit. She did a tremendous job throwing 27 innings over the last two days that we played."
In Saturday's opener against Northern State Hoeppner allowed just two hits, and a home run by Morgan Peterson helped SMSU earn the 2-0 victory. The Wolves struck for three runs in the opening inning of the second game, but Peterson belted a grand slam (her third of the season) later in the game to put SMSU back on top.

Game 1
NSU-Kami Smesmo. SMSU-Rachel Hoeppner. WP-Hoeppner. LP-Smesmo. 2B: NSU-Macey Engel; SMSU-Amy Dreessen. HR: SMSU-Morgan Peterson. LOB: NSU 5; SMSU 6.
Game 2
NSU-Stephanie Horkey. SMSU-Hoeppner. WP-Hoeppner. LP-Horkey. 2B: NSU-Jordan Novak; SMSU-Kaley Scearcey. HR: SMSU-Peterson. LOB: NSU 7, SMSU 8.
Game 1
MSUM-Morgan Nybo. SMSU-Hoeppner. WP-Hoeppner. LP-Nybo. 2B: MSUM-Kristy Bruni; SMSU-Peterson. LOB: MSUM 7; SMSU 2.
Game 2
MSUM-Brandi Howell. SMSU-Hoeppner, Rachel Groff (6). WP-Hoeppner. LP-Howell. LOB: MSUM 3, SMSU 9.
Hoeppner found herself in a pitchers' duel in Sunday's opener against MSU-Moorhead (7-36 overall, 5-23 NSIC), which didn't have a single home game all season due to the extra-long spell of wintry weather. She and Morgan Nybo each tossed seven scoreless innings before SMSU broke through with a run in the bottom of the eighth.
SMSU left fielder Alysse Luttmann led off the inning with a single to left and was going to be moved ahead on a sacrifice bunt by Shelbie Stoll, but the Dragon third baseman overthrew first base and Luttmann was able to run all the way to home plate on a walk-off error.
While neither pitcher gave up an earned run in the game, Hoeppner seemed to get stronger as the innings progressed and even struck out the side in the seventh, three of her seven strikeouts in the game. She scattered seven MSU-Moorhead hits and allowed just one walk in the victory.
The Dragons' fielding miscues carried on into the first inning of the second game on Sunday. SMSU scored six runs on four hits and four errors in the inning. One of the key hits for SMSU was a single by catcher Kailey Hanson. She punched a hit through to left field and the outfielder committed a fielding error that allowed two runners to score and Hanson to advance to third. By the end of the inning SMSU had a commanding 6-0 lead, which was more than enough run support for Hoeppner.
Hoeppner allowed just one hit and one walk in five innings of action before being relieved by Rachel Groff, who gave up one run in the final two innings.
Dreessen had a fitting end to her career, reaching base in all four plate appearances. After drawing a walk in the sixth inning she was replaced by a pinch runner and drew an ovation from the crowd and her dugout as she walked off the field for the final time.
"Amy has kind of been the rock, the foundation for the team this year," Bruggeman said. "With the ups and downs that we've had, she's always been a consistent player for us and a consistent leader on the team, somebody the girls look up to for advice, for experience, even for the actions she has on a day-to-day basis.
"She will be greatly missed in this program but definitely not forgotten. She's leaving a good legacy here at Southwest and it will be exciting to tell recruits about her someday in the future."
Following a career year as a senior, Dreessen leaves SMSU ranked in the top five in on-base percentage (.436), walks (91), hit-by-pitch (13), chances (1,311), putouts (1,269), doubles (33) and home runs (18).
Dreessen's departure will leave a large void, but the Mustangs return everyone else from a group that finished the season playing some of its best softball of the year. Bruggeman pointed out that it was a stark contrast to how the team finished the previous season in which it dropped six of its last eight games.
"Last season we seemed to struggle a little bit toward the end of the year and this season we got through that hump and finished a little bit stronger than we did last year," Bruggeman said. "I think the girls have a lot to look forward to in the offseason. A lot of them will be going into their third year, we're pretty heavily laden with this junior class, so the experience that folds over each year is really going to help our program."

-- Current Tigers hitters are batting .295 with a 1.067 in 78 total at-bats against Indians starter Josh Tomlin. Of the 23 hits Tigers hitters have against Tomlin, 17 are for extra bases, including six home runs.
-- Victor Martinez is in the lineup for the fourth consecutive game since the All-Star break after he missed 11 of the previous 13 games with soreness in his right side. Martinez is 2 for 12 with two singles and four strikeouts since returning to the lineup. He is starting at first base today.
-- The Nos. 2-5 hitters for the Tigers went 4 for 32 with nine strikeouts in the doubleheader Saturday. Miguel Cabrera had all four of those hits.
-- The Tigers scored 16 runs July 10 in a 16-4 win over the Kansas City Royals. The Tigers have scored 16 runs in six games since then.
-- The forecast for today calls for partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the high 70s. Should be a great day for a ballgame.
Looking for some light reading between now and first pitch? Check out these stories from the past day or so on MLive.com:
-- Brad Ausmus on idea of replacing Joe Nathan: 'I'm not near that point'
-- Max Scherzer nearly scratched at last minute from start vs. Indians
-- Indians 5, Tigers 2: Joe Nathan gives up bases-loaded double in ninth
-- Prospect Drew VerHagen solid in debut in first game of doubleheader
-- Indians 6, Tigers 2: Corey Kluber shuts down Detroit in opener
Point to ponder: The Kansas City Royals appeared to be the biggest threat to the Tigers in the AL Central race throughout the first half of the season. But the Indians are now in second place in the division and have won three the first three games of their four-game series against the Tigers. Which of those two teams -- the Indians or the Royals -- do you think will provide the biggest challenge down the stretch?

New Jersey had two major music festivals this weekend: Bamboozle in Asbury Park, and the Electric Daisy Carnival, held at Metlife Stadium.
Part of the problem, one NJ.com user said, is that the Electric Daisy Carnival is promoting the concert as a New York show, not a New Jersey show.
NJ.com user jdevil1735 wrote:
It is outrageous that this event is being marketed and promoted as being in New York - NOT New Jersey. It is time for New Jerseyans to stand up and demand that events that take place in New Jersey are properly be promoted as being in New JERSEY. In June there is a the huge international Polo match taking place in Liberty State Park. They go far as to give the address of the location as "Liberty State Park, NY". When are New Jerseyans going to demand that our state and cities stop being pushed into the shadows, while New York get credit for things that WE host. It is no wonder why the rest of the world thinks nothing ever happens in New Jersey and that everything is New York. Enough is enough!
NeonRat quipped:
You realize of course the only solution is to take over New York City...
Does it bother you that events like these are promoted as being from New York rather than from New Jersey? Tell us why, in the comments.

"I wanted to do something different for the kids, so I watched all the 'X-Men' movies, cartoons, read comics and honestly the 'X-Men' series inspired me to do 'Ra.One'," Shah Rukh said at the closing session of the 12th FICCI-Frames where he shared the stage with Jackman.
The two stars had an engrossing session on the mutual influence of the two film industries – Hollywood and Bollywood, and the prospect of studio culture.
Asked about his Hollywood aspirations, Shah Rukh said: "I truly believe that I should do what I want to do… make that one film the world would ever remember me for. That's my dream. We have lovely stories here. I have been offered quite a few films by Hollywood filmmakers and would surely do one if Hugh ask me to do." (Laughs).
The session was moderated by producer-director Karan Johar.

I first learned of Ralph's over thirty years ago when I was playing tournament bridge. Between sessions of a local tournament my partner suggested we get up a group to go to Ralph's. As I lived in the suburbs, I had never heard of this legendary South Philadelphia red sauce joint. Over the years as Carol and I became regular patrons of the Ninth Street Market a/k/a the Italian Market, we ate at Ralph's from time to time, usually before or after sporting events. It was actually not our favorite as we preferred Dante and Luigis, perhaps because of the 1989 mob hit on Nicky Scarfo, Jr or perhaps because of Ralph's gruff service and cash-only policy.
Here in Central Pennsylvania "gravy" means a thick juice that is poured over meat, poultry or bread filling. If we eat pasta at all we cover it with something called "spaghetti sauce." In South Philly the tomato-based sauce that tops macaroni or spaghetti is called "gravy."
Carol now states that Ralph's definitely, beyond a shadow of a doubt, has THE BEST gravy. When we go to a Phillies or 76ers game we now consider Ralph's a necessary stop, either before a night game or after a day contest. They are open straight through so you can eat anytime.
I guess the recession has not hit South Philadelphi or at least Ralph's, which claims to be the oldest family-run (make of that what you will) restaurant in the country. After a recent game(Dodgers 5 Phillies 3 in 10 innings) we drove up from the stadium and arrived around 5. The place was half full so our group of 3, 4 if you count my brother who could only stay for a glass of wine, was seated immediately.
Carol's father, Earl, on his first visit to Ralph's had shrimp scampi which smelled and looked delicious. He finished it all and pronounced it to be just that. Carol had her usual veal and peppers, thin slices of "true veal" (What is "faux veal"?) sauteed with green pepper and smothered in "gravy." My sausage and peppers was a variation on the theme with sweet Italian sausage playing the role of meat. Both come with sides of spaghetti topped with, you guessed it, more gravy!
One aside on the "true veal" controversy: My father always ordered veal scallopine in neighborhood Italian restaurants and without fail asked the waitress(we didn't call them servers in those days and they were usually female) if it was real veal, not cubed. They always answered that it was although sometimes after tasting it he would tell them that it was not.
Ralph's has a website http://www.ralphsrestaurant.com where you can get their location and see the menu. It is totally authentic and well worth the trip. My only caveats are (1) they only take cash, though they do have an ATM and the place is not pricey; (2) It is not fancy-NO decor, efficient but gruff service. If you LOVE The Olive Garden or think that it is an authentic Italian restaurant, you are unlikely to love Ralph's.

Syracuse, N.Y. — Marvin Harrison defended his role in helping a man in danger over the weekend in Philadelphia and said he is bothered the incident has led to negative attention.
The former Syracuse and Indianapolis Colts wide receiver told the Indianapolis Star that he was "just driving, minding my own business" and he had "nothing to do" with the circumstances surrounding the bizarre event.
"I was getting negative phone calls and I didn't know what anyone was talking about," he said. "The only thing I can tell you is when these negative reports came out on Sunday, the first thing that came to my mind is the next time something like this happens, I'll just put my head down and keep on going," Harrison told the Star.
"Then I woke up Monday morning and (thought), 'I don't care what anybody says. If it happens 10 more times I'm going to do the same thing.'
Harrison and another man were shot at early Saturday morning, according to police. Harrison was driving around 3:20 a.m. in Wynnefield Heights when the man, 38-year-old Judeau Brown, flagged him down.
Brown said he was being chased by two intruders who had broken into his apartment. One of the alleged intruders fired a gun at the truck, and a bullet struck a tire, which Harrison agreed to turn over to police. Neither man sustained injuries.
"I didn't know what in the hell was going on," Harrison told the Star. "I didn't know why this guy was running alongside my car."
Brown told the Star he is "grateful" Harrison helped him and said he "saved my life."
The incident has caused past off-field gun incidents involving Harrison to resurface. There was a shooting in April 2008 in which a man was shot in the hand near Chuckie's Garage, a car wash Harrison owns, and a little boy was injured by shattered glass. A gun owned by Harrison was used in the shooting, and he was questioned but not charged.
And in 2010, Harrison was ordered to surrender a 9mm handgun to police after being stopped for going the wrong way down a one-way street in Philadelphia. Harrison was again not charged.
"I didn't do anything but drive my car, pick a guy up and call 911," Harrison told Star. "I just happened to be in the right place at the right time for this person.
"The unfortunate part is things are coming out negative. I had nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing to do with it. I was just driving, minding my own business.''

SAGINAW — Former Saginaw High star LaMarr Woodley is in the final year of his contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers and, according to ESPN, the Steelers will not give Woodley a contract extension prior to the 2010 season.
But that doesn't mean the Steelers won't sign Woodley to a new contract. Once the new collective bargaining agreement is in place, the Steelers are expected to sign Woodley to a multi-year contract.
steelersdepot.com: Woodley and his agent, Doug Hendrickson of Octagon Football, know how the Steelers work and even Woodley himself has said he will not pout or hold out this year. I have a feeling he has a wink and or a hand shake that he will get his. The Steelers will also likely have some sort of franchise tag they can use as well in a new CBA when the new fiscal year starts.

"He's working on some projects for us right now," Shelley said.

Queen Latifah gay pride parade appearance wasn't a "coming out," says Queen Latifah
Queen Latifah may be royalty at LGBT events, but the singer/actress told EW this week that her headlining the Long Beach Lesbian and Pride gathering on May 19 wasn't a "coming out" as a lesbian as many expected. She told the magazine that the boundaries between her personal and professional life remain totally separate.
"That definitely wasn't the case," she tells EW. "I've never dealt with the question of my personal life in public. It's just not gonna happen."
She reiterated that she's booked gay and lesbian pride events and club performances before, but to her, it's about "sharing love."
"I know that the most important thing and the only thing I have to give is love. When people are going through hatred and bullying, the biggest thing to fight that is love," she says. "So that's all I encouraged my audience to do that night: to share their light and share their love. Period."

Planning Commission Approves Day Care Center
The Wheeling Planning Commission voted unanimously Monday to give the go-ahead for a new day care facility to open downtown, after clearing up some issues about how upcoming renovations to Market Plaza would impact the business.
The proposed location for the business, Bubbles Bears to Books Childcare & Learning Center, is at 32 10th St., at the northern end of the plaza. Due to the amount of traffic in the area, owner Dan Dzikowski would prefer to designate the building's Market Plaza entrance as a pickup/dropoff location – but that won't be possible during an estimated $500,000 renovation project on the plaza that is likely to begin this summer.
Dzikowski, who operates day care centers in Canonsburg, Pa., Cecil Township, Pa., and Morgantown, said he's looked into other locations in the area. Even with the looming plaza renovation, he said the 10th Street building seems best to fit his needs.
"The whole problem is an outdoor play area. The downtown location would be close to the waterfront," he said, adding he could also use Market Plaza as a play area once the renovation project is complete.
Planning Commission member and Public Works Director Russell Jebbia said work to install new waterlines beneath the plaza could take until late May or early June to complete. The renovation itself hasn't been bid yet, he said, but could begin sometime in mid-summer.
He said since first appearing before the Planning Commission in February, he's looked into alternate options for a drop-off locations. Options include asking the Traffic Commission to establish a temporary loading zone along 10th Street, or using the the city parking garage and surface lot and validating tickets.
After a brief discussion, commission members Jebbia, Barry Crow, Michael Leo Jr., James Mauck Jr., Thomas McCullough, Councilman Don Atkinson and Martha Wright voted to grant Dzikowski a special use permit for the facility. John Clarke was absent, and Chairman Howard Monroe only votes in case of a tie.
In other business, the commission also voted 7-0 to approve a Class II home occupation permit for a nail salon at 2 Junior Ave. No one spoke for or against the request during a public hearing on the matter.
The Planning Commission's next scheduled meeting is at 5 p.m. May 12.

is there any difference between a sata 2 and a sata 3 cable speed wise?
Performance with either cable is identical.
Only difference I've seen is that the newer cables might have a locking clip.
Yes, first SATA did not have a locking clip. Sata II & Sata III cables are the same.

Tom Hamilton, the Voice of the Indians, celebrates his 20th year with the team this season. "It doesn't feel like work -- it never has," he said.
The former third baseman with the Waterloo (Wis.) High School Pirates is happy to be a perpetual boy of summer for as long as the Indians will let him. Hamilton was born for play-by-play. "I always got those check marks from the nuns on my report cards beside "talks too much in class."
What is your all-time favorite Indians' game?
Nothing will ever top the first one (he announced the Indians-Yankees in April 1990 at the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium) -- it was the impossible dream that came true.
Give us a Herb Score memory.
He was so good to me. He always treated me as an equal, though I'll never be one. He was such an iconic figure in this town. Everyone knew that except Herb. He never looked on himself that way.
Herb always had perspective. In 1997, when we lost Game 7 of the World Series, he basically wrapped it up by saying, "Well, that's that," while the rest of us were trying to come up with long, descriptive narratives.
He could say more in less words than anyone. Yes, it was a crushing moment for the Indians, but it was still just a baseball game. Herb knew that, and here was a guy who played the game and broadcast it for 35 years.
What do you think of Cleveland fans?
The fans are one of the best parts of the job -- as if there is any bad part about a job in Major League Baseball. I know what it means to people here to be an Indians fan. There aren't a lot of transients here like there are in Los Angeles or Dallas or Atlanta. People were born and raised with the Indians, and they live and die for them. That makes it more fun for the broadcaster. You want people to care.
What do you do during rain/snow delays?
Most of the time you just end up visiting with the people in the press box, whether it's your partners or telebroadcasters from the other team, whether it's people from the [Indians] organization that pop in the booth. Sometimes I go see other scouts that might be in the building because of the bad weather.
Those can be some very enjoyable nights. Though you'd rather be playing the game, you get to talk with people you'd normally not have a chance to.
What ballpark snack do you like the best?
You can never beat a really good ballpark hot dog -- with Stadium Mustard, of course. It's amazing. If you came home and your wife said, hey, I made hot dogs for dinner, you'd be complaining. You have one at the game, though, and you never complain.
Can you tell us an amusing on-the-job story?
I had someone come up to me and say, "You're no Jimmy Dudley." I said, "OK, have a nice day!" I think the good Lord arranges those encounters every so often so that you don't get too full of yourself.
Pick a historic Indian and tell us why you admire him.
One of the people I've great admiration for and I never thought he got enough credit was Hank Peters, the general manager of the Indians when I was hired. He traded Joe Carter, and I always thought that was a critical trade in turning the Indians around because it got us Sandy Alomar and Carlos Baerga, among others. Along with John Hart and Danny O'Dowd, Hank brought in Mark Shapiro. It was that quartet that really caused the rebirth of the franchise after years of bad baseball.
What's your favorite local ethnic restaurant and what do you order there?
I'm a farm boy from Wisconsin, so my idea of ethnic food is a T-bone or a rib-eye. I love the Cabin Club in Westlake for a good steak.
How do you keep your voice in shape?
I've had great doctors for that. My most serious voice problems seem to come during the World Series, whether it's because of the length of the season, or the change of weather in October, or the number of planes I've been on. Then Dr. [Douglas] Hicks [director of the Cleveland Clinic Voice Center] gets a panic call. He's been phenomenal.

In the coming weeks, more than 300 businesses in Allentown's Neighborhood Improvement Zones – NIZ –will begin getting visits from NIZ representatives who will talk to them about taxes.
No, they won't be raising anyone's taxes.
But they will want to ensure that all applicable taxes collected from those businesses properly are directed to NIZ, which will lead to redevelopment of those neighborhoods, which ultimately will benefit the businesses in them.
"We have to get people educated-- through marketing -- that it is important for them to fill forms out properly and maximize NIZ revenue," said Seymour Traub, chairman of the Allentown Neighborhood Improvement Zone Development Authority (ANIZDA). "That's not going to cost them any more money. It's going to be beneficial to them because it will improve the city and improve the environment in which they operate. It's not a burden or a bother. It's something that will benefit them."
Traub said many of the 316 businesses in the NIZ don't have a clue that they will be required to file NIZ tax forms. He said there is a 10 percent penalty if they fail to file before the end of January.
"This needs to get going quickly," said the chairman. "We have to get boots on the ground to help people file."
On Thursday afternoon, ANIZDA approved having that "compliance function" work handled by Concannon, Miller & Co., certified public accountants and business consultants, and Compass Point, a business management consulting firm. Both have the same address in Hanover Township, Northampton County.
Board member Alan Jennings voted for approval, but first noted the companies are not in Allentown and wondered if a preference should have been given to a city firm.
In addition to making sure NIZ gets all the tax dollars it should, those working for the authority will educate businesses about why that's to their benefit. ANIZDA has backed away from previously calling them "compliance officers."
Authority member Robert Lovett noted that those carrying out the compliance function will deal with a broad spectrum of businesses – ranging from PPL down to mom-and-pop operations.
The recently expanded NIZ now covers more than 127 acres, said Traub. While the city refers to it a single zone, there actually are several designated zones in Allentown, including the future hockey arena site in center city and a long stretch along the west bank of the Lehigh River.
Traub called Thursday afternoon's special meeting of the ANIZDA board primarily for the selection of a company to do the compliance function, so the work can start soon.
He said requests for proposals were sent to five "prominent" local accounting firms. ANIZDA received three proposals, including the joint proposal. An ad hoc committee met with all three companies and recommended the joint proposal.
Authority member Gregory Dudkin said all three firms had accounting expertise, but what set the Concannon/Compass proposal above the others were very good plans to get out to businesses "and get the word out."
"This job is more than just accounting," said authority member Robert Lovett.
Traub said: "What was attractive was they married an accounting and consulting business strategy to solve this unique problem we have -- how to collect data, obtain tax filings and get compliance under an entirely new law."
He said Deana Zosky, executive consultant at Compass Point, will be the point person working with businesses and providing information "to help them help us."
Traub indicated financial differences among the three proposals were not significant, adding that was not the basis for the authority's decision.
He said the estimated cost of hiring the firms will be $100,000 to $200,000 for the first four months. Elaborating after the meeting, he said the principals will be paid $175 an hour, with no ceiling "because we don't know how many hours it's going to take. This is so new."
Sara Hailstone, ANIZDA's interim executive director, indicated the initial cost will be high because the compliance operation will be new and businesses will not be familiar with it. But it should become easier, and less expensive, in subsequent years because most businesses will be repeating what they do the first year.
Because ANIZDA has no operating budget, Jennings asked: "How are we paying for this?"
Traub and Hailstone said bond financing will cover costs for this year. "There is no other source of funds right now," said Traub. "(But) we know clearly we can fund it through the bonds."
In addition to being ANIZDA's director, Hailstone is Allentown's director of community and economic development.
Jennings said Hailstone is not being paid and asked if there will enough money to fund both her position and the compliance operation.
"Why wouldn't we fund the executive director's position too?" asked Jennings. "The city is trying to run all its community and economic development efforts and a pretty complicated NIZ with one super-human, extraordinary professional, but one that still probably could use some help. We cannot continue to have two extremely important positions in this city staffed by one person and have the city foot that bill."

Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge
The 65,000-acre Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1975, is in the Felsenthal Basin of south central Arkansas. An intricate system of rivers, creeks, sloughs, and lakes dissects this extensive wetland complex.
The Ouachita and Saline Rivers, whose confluence is the geographic center of the refuge, form the western boundary of the Lower Mississippi River ecosystem. These extensive wetlands, in combination with the pine and upland hardwood forest habitat on the higher ridges, support a diversity of indigenous flora and fauna.
Felsenthal Refuge is home for thousands of migrant and resident waterfowl, marsh and water birds, neotropical migrants, resident wildlife and has the highest density of endangered red-cockaded woodpeckers in the state. The refuge contains some of the region's richest cultural resources with more than 200 known archaeological (Native American) sites.
Wildlife-oriented public use has averaged nearly 300,000 visits annually. The visitor center is a focal point for an extensive outreach program. Management of the 50,000 acres of forest habitat and the 15,000-acre navigation pool, including the world's largest greentree reservoir, is the "backbone" of Felsenthal's complex operational programs.
Opportunities for Public Use: Trails, fishing, wildlife observation, photography, hunting—including youth hunts, environmental education and interpretation, and camping.
Refuge Facts:
Established: 1970
Acres: 65,000
Located in Ashley, Bradley, and Union County, AR
Location: The refuge is located 5 miles west of Crossett, AR, on Highway 82.
Natural History
Felsenthal is the world's largest green-tree reservoir consisting of the 15,000-acre Felsenthal Pool that is more than doubled to 36,000 acres during winter flooding.
Open water: 15,000 acres, bottomland hardwood: 40,000 acres and uplands: 10,000 acres.

Disney is expected to report third-quarter results after market close and is likely to beat average analyst estimates, according to StarMine. The media company's results could get a boost from "Maleficent", its revisionist take on "Sleeping Beauty" featuring Angelina Jolie, but the company's prowess doesn't end there, not with "Captain America: Winter Soldier" also a box-office champ in 2014 – which was also released during its most recent reporting period.
MORNING BID – Minute by minutes
The bond market remains pretty much tethered to the 2.50 percent to 2.60 percent range that's prevailed for the 10-year note for quite some time now, with the primary catalyst being today's release of the Federal Reserve's minutes from its most recent meeting. The relevant data that investors are probably paying most attention to – the jobs report last week, the JOLTS jobs survey, shows some more things that is meant to keep the Fed engaged rather than moving toward an imminent increase in rates. The quit rate – the rate at which people leave jobs for others – is still historically a bit on the low side, not at a level that would make the Fed more comfortable that the kind of labor-market dynamism needed for the Fed to shift to raising interest rates. Fact is, the central bank just isn't there yet.
MORNING BID – Microsoft, up from the ashes
Microsoft heads into tonight's earnings report coming in on a high, having recently breached the $40 threshold for the first time in forever (it's all Frozen references this week, folks). The company pushed past $40 a share in early April for the first time in nearly 14 years, and spent most of that time ensconced in a tight range between about $22 and $35 a share, depending on what the overall market was doing. It tanked in 2008 with everything else, and then spent the 2010-2012 period putting together a cumulative 13 percent price loss in the midst of a raging bull market, if evidence of its sad-sack status couldn't be more apparent.
MORNING BID: Running on Empty
The most interesting developing trend in the U.S. equity market has been the recent stumble in the biotech and momentum-oriented names, be it Gilead Sciences, Biogen, Netflix or a few others. The biotechs were a group often cited as having entered a "parabolic" stage, which in market parlance refers basically to "going up and up and up in a straight line." The move wasn't anything on the order of the homebuilders during the housing bubble of 2006 to 2007, or the tech giants during the latter stages of the tech run – a 300 percent gain versus 700 to 800 percent gains back in the other cases. That doesn't mean we won't see an ongoing breakdown, though some of the selling abated late in the Monday session.

Jim Cusack: Kneecap victim linked to Ryan and dissidents
Published 20/01/2013 | 05:00
The man found shot in the leg in Saggart, Co Kildare, early yesterday is a Belfast man with links to dissident republicans who moved to Dublin five years ago.
The man, in his 30s, had in recent years been an associate of the Dublin 'Real' IRA leader Alan Ryan, who was shot dead last September. He attended Ryan's funeral. He was also pictured on holiday with Ryan and other associates at a health spa in Budapest last summer.
It is understood that elements of the dissident republicans in Dublin have recently been subjected to a purge ordered by figures in the North. This is understood to have been prompted by the failure of the Dublin dissidents to send money – earned from extortion and other rackets – across the Border.
Another close associate of Ryan's was also the subject of a punishment shooting last November. Like the man who was found shot in Saggart, this man also received a flesh wound to his leg.
Gardai believe there is a reorganisation going on inside the Dublin dissidents directed by the Tyrone-based leadership of the group, which is now termed the Irish Republican Army but is known in republican areas of Northern Ireland as the 'New' IRA.
According to sources, the northern "leadership" of the organisation had expected a large amount of money – said to be in the region of €200,000 – to be delivered to them by the Dublin-based organisation.
It is understood Ryan had promised that the money – extorted from drugs gangs in Dublin – would be delivered north shortly before his death. When it did not materialise, the northern group ordered an inquiry and reorganisation of its elements in Dublin.
Gardai are closely monitoring the activities of the so-called dissidents in Dublin. In the aftermath of the murder of the leading criminal figure Eamon Kelly in December – in retaliation for the murder of Ryan – Dublin drugs gang leaders ordered assassinations of known dissidents.
The new leader of the dissident republican group in Dublin lives in the Dun Laoghaire area and has had associations with dissident republican activity since the 1990s. He is a former member of the Provisional IRA and was part of the group that broke away in the late 1990s in protest at the moves towards a ceasefire and the consolidation of the peace process in Northern Ireland.
The dissidents are intent, the Gardai and PSNI believe, on continuing to attempt to destabilise the political settlement in the North.
Following the "kneecapping" of the 30-year-old man in Saggart, gardai arrested another man also aged in his 30s who was being held last evening under the Offences Against the State Act at Lucan garda station.
Gardai asked anybody with any information about the shooting to contact them at Ronanstown on 01-6667700 or the confidential line – 1800-666 111.

I wish I could have kept all the systems, but I always sold one to get the next one. So I used to have a SNES, then an N64, then a GameBoy Color, then Gamecube, then Xbox (which I kept), the original DS (which I returned the same day because it was so uncomfortable and bulky to hold), then a PSP (which I sold a while back and glad I did because PSP still doesn't have that many games worth buying), then my cousin gave me a PS2, which I plan to get a few games for. I'll be getting a Wii next, followed by a DS lite sooner or later, then an Xbox 360, then a self-built gaming PC perhaps sometime late next year, and finally a PS3 in like two years when the price is reasonable.
I love videogames and plan on getting into some part of gaming as a job, either programming (which I've started learning about in a class at school and unfortunately am not loving), animation, or most likely script/story writer.

The City Council approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a funding agreement for Habitat's development using $405,000 from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development disaster recovery grant funds.
Habit for Humanity Tuscaloosa plans to acquire 27 lots along Juanita Drive and build single-family homes in the area. The project was part of the city's initial plan of projects and programs that would be funded by $16.6 million in Community Development Block Grant disaster funds that the city received.
The resolution states that funding is contingent on the organization complying with HUD regulations.
The City Council also approved the rezoning from MX-3 to MX-5 for the planned third phase of the Rosedale Court housing development off 29th Street.
The Tuscaloosa Housing Authority requested the rezoning to build a 128-unit, four-story apartment complex for the elderly.
Phase I of Rosedale was completed near the end of 2012 and dedicated in January. Crews are currently working on the second phase off 10th Avenue.

New 'middle audience' key to Japanese gaming
Japanese game sales have been flagging for some time as the once gaming-mad nation fails to be inspired by next-generation systems and instead focusses on casual offerings on the Wii and DS. Game maker Goichi 'Suda 51' Suda sees a light at the end of the tunnel, however.
Speaking to GI.biz, Suda-san says that a new 'middle audience' can see Japanese gaming rise once again.
"There are a lot of core gamers, and a lot of lighter users playing on platforms such as the DS - but there's nothing in-between," offered the Grasshopper boss, chatting at the Nordic Games Conference.
"I think it's going to be very important for games to be created for that middle audience, and that will help bring the market back on-track."

A fire official says a Detroit school has been cited for overcrowding after a parent complained that too many children were in her son's kindergarten class.
Detroit Fire Department Lt. Gerod Funderburg tells The Detroit News that the fire marshal's office issued a citation Tuesday at Nolan Elementary. Funderburg didn't say how many children were in the classroom and declined to identify the specific class.
Detroit Public Schools spokesman Steve Wasko said in an email Wednesday morning to The Associated Press that the district had no information about the citation.
Nolan parent Kristal Philpot said she complained Monday after about 55 students were in her son's kindergarten class.
The newspaper recently reported that excessive class sizes at some Detroit schools were a problem six weeks into the school year.

Whether it's an EAA chapter, Kiwanis Club, or any other volunteer organization, the leaders of those groups are all too often acutely aware of the 20 percent rule. Seemingly, regardless of the size of the group, at any one time that group's leaders can count on about 20 percent of its membership to actively participate in just about any activity the group might want to conduct.
Sadly, all too often that 20 percent of folks are the same ones the organization comes to rely upon, event after event. I say sadly and I really shouldn't, as these folks provide the backbone and continuity of most chapters. But as such, they are certainly more susceptible to the activity "burnout" factor that seems to partner with being so involved.
Fortunately, there are exceptions, and as president of Chapter 939, I have the luxury of almost never having to worry about the 20 percent rule. Located on the coast of southeastern North Carolina, our chapter calls the Cape Fear Regional Jetport (KSUT) home. We are a small chapter, just over 30 members, but at any given time, we can count on at least two-thirds of the group to support just about any chapter activity.
Through our spirit and zeal for flying, we are able to hold quarterly pancake breakfasts and fly nearly 200 Young Eagles annually, and just recently, we staged our first "Wings & Wheels" event, drawing 50 classic cars, 20 airplanes, and somewhere near 100 interested folks from the community. But the real story here is not just the high level of participation at the chapter level.
This event was designed to bring not only the airport community together but to showcase the airport to the general public, give people a reason to come out and see how things work, profile the businesses there, and perhaps extend a hand to help build a bridge across that gap of misinformation that so often shrouds an airport from the general public.
Were we successful? One pilot asked how many years we had been doing this, and when informed this was our first attempt, he was clearly dumbfounded. Chapter members reported they were repeatedly asked if this was going to be an annual event or when would we be doing it again. One chapter member said it best:
"With spirited members, the chapter can do anything."
Isn't it great when some rules don't apply?
