Hello-and-Goodbye, Shea Stadium (9/7/08)
When early September 2008 rolled around, I thought to myself, "Self, Tim has never been to Shea Stadium and it is about to close. Let's not let that happen without getting Tim up to Queens."
So, early in the morning on September 7, 2008, Tim and I hopped in the car and made our way up to Manhatten. As is my standard practice, we parked on the upper west side. We then walked with Tim on my shoulders from approximately 84th & Amsterdam to 42nd & Seventh Ave. After a 7-train ride from Times Square station to Willets Point, we arrived at Shea Stadium.
It was a day-night doubleheader. We would attent only the day game. As we made our way up to our seats in Upper Reserve section 10, Row M, the visitors' dugout (occupied by the Phillies) welcomed us to Shea:
If there was batting practice, we didn't make it in time for it. As we made out way to out seats, the grounds crew was putting the final touches on the field. We decided to head up to the last row…
…to see the sights. And I was interested to discover that we could see the Empire State Building off in the distance in Manhatten…
…that's it just above the bill of Tim's hat.
And here was our view of Shea from the upper deck:
At least as I perceived it, Shea always got a bad rap. Particularly, because everyone glorified Yankee Stadium (which to me was utterly unimpressive — particularly when compared to the other "old" ballparks, Wrigley Field and Fenway Park). Anyway, I always liked Shea Stadium. I probably attended 8 games total at Shea between 2000-2008 and I always found it to be a much more pleasant place to watch a ballgame than its neighbor in the Bronx.
Some kind Mets fan agreed to take our picture:
Note how Citi Field appears to be about 2 feet away from Shea beyond the outfield fence. I was both amazed and saddened the following April when Tim and I attended our first game at Citi Field and we discovered that Shea was already demolished and hauled away.
Soon, it was time for the game to begin. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric. The Phillies and Mets are pretty big rivals. Entering the day, the Mets were leading the Phillies atop the N.L. East by two games.
The pitching was an epic battle between two "old goats" — my favorite pitcher of all-time, Jamie Moyer, and future Hall of Famer, Pedro Martinez…
…by the way, "old goats" is Pedro's description of himself and Moyer, not mine.
Early on, both old goats were dealing…
…my man, Moyer, would keep it up giving up only 2 hits and zero earned runs in 7 innings of work. Pedro, however, would struggle starting in the second inning.
In the second inning, Pedro walked Jayson Werth. Former Mariner Greg Dobbs followed with a double, Matt Stairs with a sac fly, and Carlos Ruiz hit a double. And just like that, the Phillies led 2-0.
Two batters Pedro did manage to retire in the second were Ryan Howard and Jamie Moyer…
…Howard looked silly flailing at several pitches and ultimately striking out. Moyer at least put the ball in play.
It was a big snack day for Tim. We started off with some french fries. Then, it was time for a Shea Stadium Mets ice cream helmet:
A couple innings into the game, we decided to explore the stadium a bit. I knew this would be Tim's only chance to ever see Shea. So I wanted us to see what it had to offer.
Here are a couple stadium views from inside the concourses and ramps on our way down to the field level…
…I think that picture to the left is pretty interesting. It shows that Shea Stadium had two sets of ramps circling the stadium.
Moyer was still pitching a gem.
With a win in this game, Moyer would run his record to 13-7 on the season and it was his 243rd win of his excellent career.
Since the stadium would soon be history, I wanted to document as much of it as possible. Here is a stadium map that hung inside the concourse behind section 31 in the Loge level:
I had never done much exploring at Shea before. But I knew there were some standing room areas down each foul line. So that's where we headed out in RF.
As you can see, the standing room area is in an inside concourse with a screen in front of it. Back in 2003, I watched almost an entire game from the corresponding standing room area down the LF foul line. Its a nice little spot. Interestingly, that other game I watched from the standing room area was also part of a Sunday doubleheader and it was also a 7 inning, 2 hit, zero earned run win by Jamie Moyer.
Tim and I hung out there a little while so Tim could run around in circles.
Here is a panoramic view of Shea Stadium from the seats closest to the standing room area:
Next, we started to make our way toward home plate. On the way, I saw this interesting ketchup and mustard packet dispenser…
….which I thought was pretty interesting. Seems like most stadiums have ketchup and mustard pumps, not little packets. I wonder if someone bought this ketchup and mustard contraption once the Mets started trying to sell off any-and-everything from Shea Stadium. Actually, if you want one of these, click here.
We saw that there were plenty of empty seats toward the home plate area. This wasn't a planned doubleheader and it wasn't a make-up of a game from early in the season. No. This game was supposed to be played the night before. In fact, we had planned to attend the game on September 6th. Anyway, it appeared that some of the people who planned to attend the game on the 6th couldn't make it on the 7th. And we were the beneficiaries.
I snapped some pictures of the Phillies stellar corps of infielders on our way to our final seats of the day…
…Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Jimmie Rollins each had one hit on the day. But the big hitting star of the day was Greg "The Dobbers" Dobbs who was 2-4 with a 3-run 4th inning homerun off of Pedro Martinez. He also scored 2 runs. After the 4th inning, the Phillies led 6-0.
And here are our final seats of the day in (I believe) section 215:
And here is my best effort at patching together a panoramic view from these seats:
It was a great spot to see the action up close…
…like this pitch to Phils third basemen, Pedro Feliz.
And it was nice to see Mets first basemen and big-time slugger, Carlos Delgado…
Here is a shot of the Phillies dugout and the Mets logo behind home plate as Shane "The Flying Hawaiian" Victorino approaches the plate:
Pedro Martinez only lasted 4 innings and left trailing 6-0. A host of Mets relievers finished off the fifth through ninth innings without giving up any more runs.
Moyer lasted 7 innings before Scott Eyre came in and gave up the only two Mets runs in the 8th inning. The Phillies won the game by a final score of 6-2 to move to 1-game back of the Mets. In the nightcap, Johan Santana beat Cole Hamels and the Mets re-took a 2-game lead in the N.L. East, a lead they would build to 3.5 games a few days later and then squander to miss the playoffs completely.
This was the 14th to last game game at Shea Stadium. It was great to add Shea to Tim's baseball stadium resume. We got one more picture to commemorate the day…
…by the way, in that picture "Cow-Bell Man" is standing behind us. He let Tim clank his cowbell during the game. "MORE COWBELL!"
On our way out of Shea Stadium for the final time, I took a picture of the four seating decks above the field level…
On this sign, Mr. Met thanked the exiting crowd for coming out to Shea Stadium:
The crowd made its way out of the Stadium, many of them like us never to return.
The next time we traveled to Queens, it would be to visit the new Citi Field, and many people like us would miss the simple and stripped down charm of Shea Stadium and its brightly colored seats.
Goodbye, Shea Stadium.

That is a COOL photo of the two pitchers together on the mound. Cool photos all around. I have to say, though, that it was hard for me to look at them. Shea was practically my second home. I experienced the highest highs (catching the last Mets homer ever at Shea) and the lowest lows (being ejected four times when I was younger and being made to cry by a swat team of security goons who ganged up on me). I snagged my first balls ever at Shea in 1990, and I finally conquered the damn place on September 28, 2008. I always complained about Shea a lot, but I now miss it terribly.
Thanks. Its too bad I didn't have my current camera at the time. The pictures could have been so much better if I had a decent zoom. Although I never caught any game homeruns and was never ejected from a game, my feelings about the Kingdome are very similar to yours of Shea. Fortunately for me, however, I love Safeco Field. Sorry you can't say the same about Citi Field. Maybe someday you will. Hopefully, because I have it on pretty good authority that Shea is never coming back.
You're like the second best dad in the entire world! (Uhh mine's first sorry heh heh heh!) I know I say this every time but your son is really gonna appreciate what you and your father continue to do for him! Maybe mom can come along one of these days😉
I love your photos (esp. Tim with the ice cream😀 so cute) as always and I'm glad you had a great time! Well I can only go to Citi Field from now on since Shea is gone. I too would like to travel to as many ball parks as possible! Hopefully I can!
best of luck to the M's (but not really :D) this season!

Before, during, and after childbirth, you want the very best possible care for the baby and mother. The Medical Center's family-centered obstetrical services provide excellent medical care in a very comfortable environment.
The Medical Center's Obstetrical Services has four areas : Labor and Delivery, Nursery, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and Post Partum. Unlike other areas of the hospital, OB has two primary patients -- the mother and the baby.
The Medical Center has 11 labor, delivery and recovery rooms, as well as four triage rooms if outpatient testing is required during pregnancy. Once the baby is delivered, the mother is moved to one of 22 private rooms in Post Partum. Here, the nursing staff concentrates on teaching the mother how to take care of herself and the newborn. The staff encourages the father to spend the night with the mother.
The Nursery provides a caring, skilled staff who care for the baby when not in the room with the mother. For babies who need specialized care, The Medical Center has a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with Neonatology Services.
Tours of Obstetrical Services are available as part of the following OB classes: Ready, Set, Go!, Grandparents Class and A New Baby's Coming.
Paternity Acknowledgement
Unmarried parents can establish legal fatherhood for their baby. The Medical Center OB staff helps unmarried parents with completion of a paternity affidavit, a notarized legal document that allows the Office of Vital Statistics to add the father's name to the baby's birth certificate.

OR: 4 Reasons You're Not Going to Believe Any of These 4 Reasons
According to a recent poll, six out of 10 Americans no longer trust the media to deliver the news fairly or accurately. This certainly got the attention of management at Cracked, where after a heated discussion about whether or not we actually are the media (they eventually concluded that we're basically a kind of weather service), they decided it was important enough an issue to get to the bottom of. Though not that important, they proudly announced when they handed the chore to me.
Widespread distrust of the media is a relatively recent development. When I was growing up, such was my family's respect for the news that I would be mercilessly beaten for daring to interrupt the evening newscast. Upon such a violation, my father would roll up a copy of that day's newspaper (for added symbolic effect), climb up on top of the television hutch and jump down on me, swinging. If I flinched, then we would not get to watch the Muppets.
"Ha! Stupid kid! Ha ha ha!
So I learned to respect the news, and I gather that most other people did as well, although possibly through less horrific means. So how then did we get to the point where every word printed is now immediately cast in doubt, if not dismissed before it's even read? Here's four possible reasons:
4Maybe the Media's Simply Less Trustworthy Now?
Cracked has covered this before in detail, discussing obviously fake news stories that were passed off as real, and documenting the variety of ways the media disguises bullshit as fact. There are a number of reasons why the media keeps doing this, ranging from overworked reporters, to deliberately biased reporters, to completely rock stupid reporters.
"Hurricane Katrina caused global warming, you say? What a scoop!"
But although examples of this kind of foul-up are everywhere around us, it's hard to definitively say that this is a new development. Yellow journalism is old news (heh), and the rhetorical tricks used to cover up sloppy research are even older; the Greeks were using those millenniums ago during their boy-fondling debates (spoiler: the boys lost). That said, there are a few other bits of incidental evidence that suggest that journalistic quality has worsened over the past couple decades, the mere fact that the media landscape is a lot more crowded now being the biggest one. With dozens more media outlets all clamoring for the same diminishing audience, that means smaller audiences and smaller revenue streams for each outlet, which means less time and reporters to devote to solid reporting and more to stories that can be written without the reporter leaving his chair.
"Wait a Second. Why Should I Believe You?"
I obviously didn't leave my chair when writing any of this, did I?
You: "I could tell by the fact that the only things you cited were other Cracked articles."
Well fuck you, man. I can leave this chair any time I want. I just happened to be trying to conceal an enormous erection.
3Politics Has Ruined Everything
Another obvious explanation for the suddenly low level of trust in media is the simple observation that this is an election year in the U.S., much to everyone's dismay. Dismay, because aside from a small handful of truly undecided voters, most people's opinions on the relative merits of each political party are by now fairly set, and you've all gotten tired of thinking about it. Worse still is seeing anything in the media that doesn't align completely with whatever belief you're sporting; whether it's news critical of your views, or not critical enough of the opposing views, it rankles you because of how obviously wrong it is, and yet there's some perfectly coiffed idiot saying it on the television, goddammit Brian Williams.
"We go now to a story just breaking: Fuck Everything You Believe In."
"Wait a Second. Why Should I Believe You?"
Oh, so you're a satisfied consumer of the existing political process, are you? There's nothing you're tired of about the 24-month election season filled with weekly turdstorms about the pettiest bullshit imaginable? You think that I might be sowing distrust in the media and belittling the two major political parties to somehow create a vacuum in which Cracked's real political masters, the mole people, can slip in and seize control of the means of production?
You: "Well it sounds stupid when you say it all sarcasticy like that, but yeah, I kind of do now."

Students Meet the Irish St. John Fisher
The first semester of the Fisher in Galway program is well underway, and students are getting the opportunity to take in a lot of Irish culture outside of the classroom.
On February 12, Dr. Tim Madigan, who is teaching in the program this semester, took the Fisher and Hobart and William Smith Colleges students to see Irish stage, film, and television actor Bosco Hogan in a play at the Galway Town Hall Theatre called "My Brother Peter." The play is a musical theater piece about Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's brother, performed with the Irish Chamber Orchestra.
Hogan has also played the role of St. John Fisher in the Irish-Canadian historical fiction television series "The Tudors."

- Abstract
- The behavior of the spatial two-particle correlation function is surveyed in detail for a uniform one-dimensional Bose gas with repulsive contact interactions at finite temperatures. Long-, medium-, and short-range effects are investigated. The results span the entire range of physical regimes from ideal gas to strongly interacting and from zero temperature to high temperature (Gross-Pitaevskii) and strongly interacting (Tonks-Girardeau) gases. We present perturbative analytic methods, available at strong and weak couplings, and first-principles numerical results using imaginary time simulations with the gauge-P representation in regimes where perturbative methods are invalid. Nontrivial effects are observed from the interplay of thermally induced bunching behavior versus interaction induced antibunching.

Furfari a man of his words
Mickey Furfari professes himself to be a man of his words.
Over the span of 67 years as a sports writer in West Virginia – the last 23 "retired" -Mickey has written, oh, a few.
Billions of words. Trillions? What's next?
How about a lot?
As a younger man than his almost 90, the so-called "Dean of West Virginia Sports Writers" – who probably qualifies for "bard" status – proved himself to be a man of his words.
He wrote a column back in 1962 guaranteeing West Virginia's basketball team would not win the Southern Conference tournament. The Mountaineers, three seasons removed from playing in the NCAA national championship game, did capture the title, and, well, Mickey had a mission to perform.
"The dumbest thing I ever did," Mickey said. "More than 500 fans were watching me make a fool of myself, because I said if the Mountaineers won the Southern Conference championship, I'd dance on the courthouse square.
"The next Monday, three members of the team came out to my house and said, "When do you want to do it?" I said, "I'm a man of my words."
And away Furfari went to dance around the courthouse square in Monogalia County.
That story, as well as many others, are contained in the second – and he says, last – volume of "Mickey's Mountaineer Memories."
This volume, published by Beckley Newspapers, contains myriad stories connected with West Virginia University sports figures – from an Australian football (not their rules football) player from the 1920s through to current WVU athletic director Oliver Luck.
"I even have a story about the Orange Bowl from two years ago," Furfari said.
His personal reflections contain some stories in which he is part of the tale – like the courthouse-dancing episode and a university president who told Furfari he didn't like a couple of stories and told the writer about it in the presence of others.
"It's an easy-to-read piece," Furfari said.
He penned some 40 items for the book, though some of them didn't make the final cut.
He'll be in Martinsburg to pull out his pens and sign copies of the book, which are for sale, from 11 a.m.- 1 p.m. March 4 at the United National Bank on Edwin Miller Boulevard.
"The people in Beckley think this is better than the first one," Furfari said.
He sold some 5,000 copies of his first volume.
It's still in circulation and is available for purchase with Volume 2.
Folks purchasing both books will get a $10 discount. Each book is $25, plus tax, Mickey mentioned frequently, so as to pay the governor.
A picture in the book shows Furfari with then-Gov. Joe Manchin, as he honored Mickey as a "distinguished West Virginian."
"Which is a bunch of crap," Mickey said. "I accepted it anyway."
He also accepted membership into the Basketball Writer's Hall of Fame, the picture of his swearing-in ceremony gracing the back of the book.
The book also contains stories about local legend James Jett, Fred Wyant, Major Harris, Jerry West, Brian Jozwiak and the guy who wore No. 100 on his WVU jersey in 1963 to honor the 100th anniversary of the state. There are others, like Pat White, Canute Curtis and Jack Fleming. Plus many more.
"I can't wait to get there because there are a lot of nice people there," Mickey said, and he truly wasn't trying to butter anybody up to buy his book. The man whose body shows some signs of his age was sincere.
"My (late) wife was a native of Charles Town," he continued. "Her nephew, John Skinner, is still there. He used to be the president of the West Virginia Alumni Association, and he was a football player.
"I didn't have anything about him; I probably should've. I thought about that. He played in the early-'60s for Gentleman Gene Corum. He was a center and a linebacker; they used to play two ways back then."
Of course, Furfari couldn't write about everybody and every single happening he's witnessed while covering WVU athletics.
He's still doing it. More than a handful of newspapers – including The Journal – in West Virginia publish several pieces a week written by Furfari.
Even in the days of the Internet, he remains the connection for many people to Mountaineer sports.
"I think it's good stuff," Mickey said of his book. "Well, I think it's good stuff."
And, as has been pointed out, Furfari is a many of his word.
Or words — quadrillions of them.
Mickey has guaranteed he will present me a signed copy of his new book Monday.
If he doesn't, well, it's time for Mickey to dance again.

What is in this article?:
- GMO foods get consumer nod
- Willing consumers
Consumers are eager to get their hands on, and teeth into, foods that are genetically modified to increase health benefits - and even pay more for the opportunity.
Consumers are eager to get their hands on, and teeth into, foods that are genetically modified to increase health benefits - and even pay more for the opportunity.
A study by Iowa State University researcher Wallace Huffman shows that when consumers are presented with produce enhanced with consumer traits through intragenic means, they will pay significantly more than for plain produce.
The research is published in the current issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economic.
Intragenic modification refers to plants that are genetically modified with genes from other plants within their own species.
Transgenic foods refer to plants that are modified with genes from other species.
Consumer traits are those modifications that are seen as a benefit to the consumer, such as enhanced levels of vitamins. Farmer traits refer to traits that benefit farmers, such as pest and drought resistance.
"What we found was when genes for enhancing the amount of antioxidants and vitamin C in fresh produce were transferred by intragenic methods, consumers are willing to pay 25 percent more than for the plain product (with no enhancements). That is a sizable increase," said Huffman, distinguished professor of economics.
Improving plants by using intragenic methods is very similar to cross breeding plants, a process very commonly used by backyard gardeners trying to improve their irises, and was the main method used by hybrid seed corn businesses prior to genetic modification.
Some plants, however, are difficult to cross breed for a variety of reasons.
There are thousands of types of potatoes, for instance, each having some unique genetic traits. But since they reproduce by using an internal seed or eye of the potato, improving them through cross breeding with other potatoes is difficult.
By using the tools of genetic engineering, the intragenic process allows plant breeders to improve produce using within-species transfers.
Consumers' acceptance of genetically modified plants is a real turnaround from previous research.
In 2001, Huffman first researched consumers' willingness to pay for transgenic foods. At that time, he showed that consumers would pay 15 percent less for foods made from or containing farmer traits introduced by transgenic methods, compared with produce that was not genetically modified at all.
If there remains any hesitation by consumers to eat genetically modified foods, it is difficult to say, said Huffman.
"There still could be a little bit of negative feelings toward a genetically modified product, but they (consumers) see real value being created in enhanced consumer traits, and they are willing to pay for those enhancements that are introduced by intragenic methods," said Huffman.

A Mosinee man is charged with providing the heroin that authorities say was a factor in a fatal car crash.
Twenty-two-year-old Kyle Kennedy made an initial appearance in Marathon County Circuit Court Friday. The crash last March in Wausau killed the driver, Michael Dixon of Rothschild, and critically injured his 4-year-old son. Police say Dixon had heroin in his system at the time of the crash.
Daily Herald Media says Kennedy has been charged with delivery of heroin, obstructing an officer and bail jumping.
Judge Jill Falstad ordered Kennedy held on a $50,000 cash bond. A preliminary hearing is set for June 19.
Kennedy's attorney did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

- Making a connection: tasting rooms and brand loyalty
- Author(s)
- Fountain, Joanna; Fish, Nicola; Charters, Steve
- Abstract
- There is growing research on the value of winery tasting rooms/cellar doors as an avenue for relationship building with consumers resulting in greater brand loyalty. This paper aims to examine the role of tasting rooms in this regard in an Australasian context. The research was exploratory, designed to explore a full range of visitors' experiences at the winery tasting room, using a modified form of mystery shopping combined with focus groups. Establishing brand loyalty through a winery tasting room experience requires more than just good wine or good service quality, rather it results from an experience which is personalised and which establishes an emotional connection between the visitor and the winery, their product and winery staff. Generally smaller wineries were making this emotional connection more effectively than larger wineries. By contrast, staff at small and larger wineries alike were making little effort to establish concrete links to instil brand loyalty with the wine tourist post-visit by encouraging repeat visitation or promoting their mailing lists or even eliciting wine sales. The research focused on a relatively small number of consumers in Australia and New Zealand and thus may not be immediately generalisable to other markets. The research highlights numerous areas for improvement in the organisation of tasting room encounters and the training of staff, noticeably with regards to making lasting connections with visitors resulting in future brand loyalty; issues which could be addressed by winery managers. The paper gives depth to results previously reported by researchers on the role of service provision at the tasting room to the overall winery experience, and adds perspectives on the effectiveness of efforts to establish brand loyalty and maintain post-visit contact with the winery visitor.

Code: Select all
echo("Easting test: ".$accommodation["EASTING"]." and ".$easting[$row_num]);
$accommodation is a mysql_fetch_array, with EASTING being a field within it.
$row_num is increasing each time the mysql_fetch_array passes through, using ++;
The output I get is as follows:
Easting test: 369234 and 3
Now am I completely loosing it, or should the two numbers not be the same?
It would seem when assigning the value to the array $easting, it only takes the first digit. Is this a fault, a problem with my code, or just one of those things?!?
Many thanks

DUI wreck results in two children being injured
SHEPHERDSTOWN – A Harpers Ferry man was arrested Monday on driving under the influence and child neglect charges after a single-vehicle accident injured two children.
Christopher Brian Anderson, 30, of Duncan Road, was later arraigned Tuesday on two felony counts of child neglect causing injury and misdemeanor charges of DUI with injury, two counts of no child restraints and one count of driving without insurance.
According to court records, at about 9:25 p.m. Monday police responded to a report of an accident with injuries on Shepherdstown Pike in Jefferson County.
When police arrived at the scene, they found marks in the roadway and a trail of dirt leading to a 1995 Subaru Impreza with an expired license plate that was partly lodged in a hillside on the east side of the road. The windshield was severely cracked and damaged and both front airbags were deployed.
The driver, Anderson, and three passengers were checked by medics. The two back seat passengers were found to be a 3-year-old child and a 5-year-old child. The younger child was suffering from swelling and bruising to the back of her head while the older child sustained injuries to her lower lip, records show.
One of the children told police that her parents forgot to put their seatbelts on them. Police found two car seats in back of the vehicle, but neither was secured. One of the seats was incapable of being secured to the vehicle and the other still contained plastic packaging covering the apparatus necessary to secure the seat to the vehicle, records show.
Anderson told police he didn't know what happened, he just crashed and then the airbags went off. Both he and the vehicle's front seat passenger refused medical treatment at the scene.
Anderson had difficulty maintaining his balance throughout three field sobriety tests, but a preliminary breath test indicated his blood alcohol concentration was .00 percent.
When asked if he was under the influence of any controlled substances, Anderson told police "no, just Suboxone," records show.
Suboxone is a prescription medication used to treat opiate dependence and contains buprenorphine hydrochloride. Side effects can include dizziness and drowsiness, and those prescribed Suboxone are warned not to operate a motor vehicle or heavy machinery.
Anderson submitted to a secondary breath test, which also showed his blood alcohol concentration was .00 percent. He subsequently requested his blood be drawn for chemical analysis. He was taken to Jefferson Medical Center at about 11:57 p.m. Monday to have his blood drawn.
As of Tuesday, Anderson was being held at Eastern Regional Jail on $10,000 bail.

Freedom New Mexico
Eastern New Mexico University freshman left-hander Aaron Anderson was able to get out of bases-loaded, no-out jams the first two times he'd been in that situation this season.
The third time, on Friday at Greyhound Field, he wasn't quite so fortunate.
Catcher Brad Shankle whacked a three-run double, highlighting league-leading Southeastern Oklahoma's eight-run third and the Savage Storm went on to a 10-1 Lone Star Conference victory.
Southeastern (18-11, 14-5 LSC), among four teams bunched tightly at the top of the conference, opened a 9-0 lead with the outburst and Dan McKinney (4-2) made it stand up with eight strong innings, allowing five hits and one run while throwing 134 pitches.
The Savage Storm broke on top in the second inning on shortstop Kevin Phillips' sacrifice fly to left off Anderson (2-1), then put together their decisive third inning with six hits.
Southeastern outhit the Greyhounds 13-5, led by third baseman Zach Ragdale with 3-for-4. Four others had two hits for the Savage Storm.
Blake Thompson and Lane Drake combined for six solid innings of relief for the Hounds (7-20, 4-15), allowing five hits and an unearned run — off Drake — in the eighth. Thompson allowed four hits with no walks and three strikeouts over four frames.
ENMU got its lone run in the eighth when first baseman Mitch Wolfe singled to left with two outs and rode home on a double by pinch-hitter Russell Hartshorn. Wolfe finished 2-for-3 with a walk for ENMU.
The teams wrap up their series with a 1 p.m. doubleheader today.

Hey sandy, I read an article that said the US coach is German and trying to get the Americans to play non-European style soccer. How is that working out? Are they playing up the warring German thing?ReplyCancel
Nope, not in these parts!ReplyCancel
We use to have them everywhere in Scottsdale I don't know if they're around anymoreReplyCancel
whether there are a lot or a little…juicy couture isn't a store I would take a pic in front of.
The stores in NYC – Sachs Fifth Ave, Macy's and Tiffany's…especially Tiffany's, I could see. I always see people dressed as Audrey Hepburn, holding a bagel and a cup of coffee, posing in front of the Tiffany window on my way to work.ReplyCancel
No not really TTM. He said his heritage national team background and friendship on the German team dont matter right now. They shouldn't play European style soccer in the World Cup they should play more like Brazil and ArgentinaReplyCancel
And since it IS OT: we started a morning pre-CDaN OT thread in the Bookie Wook club so everyone can say good morning without wanton losing her shite. Try it every morning for a bit, see if people wanna use it and don't wanna wait until noon to say good morning.

Not here.ReplyCancel
Is Juicy Couture the one that started the sweatpants with words across your backside trend?
Karma, baby.ReplyCancel
WTF is that juicy couture (whatever) thing? Apparently it is a store.
Has it seminaked whores like that Amsterdam suburb? Why would anyone picture some store?
Aw, I'm sad Juicy going out of business. The pants with "Juicy" across the rear end were tacky and stupid but they did have some nice stuff there too. I have a great sweater dress with stripes that I got from Juicy and you can't tell it's from that store unless you look reallllly closely at the buttons and see the little Juicy crown.
IMO Juicy's problem is that it never evolved. Even after 15 years it was still known for velour sweats with words on the ass.ReplyCancel
I used to work for JC. They were bought by Liz Claiborne which also owned Kate Spade and Lucky Brand. They were always going to be known for hideous tracksuits and those velour purses, but they had a great range of fashion that just never took off. 85% of what they sold was tracksuits, purses, and those hideous charm bracelets that turned green inside a month. $50 a pop and people were always scandalized when they turned lol. But I'm not gonna lie – nothing beats a Juicy tracksuit for a long drive or flight, or hanging hot around the house. I don't know how they did it, but the fit on those tracksuits was perfection. Others tried and failed to create a flattering tracksuit. I still have a stack of them – all neutral colors with nothing on the ass!ReplyCancel
Is it 2003?ReplyCancel
I never came across their clothes where I live but their first perfume is still one of my favorites.ReplyCancel

June 12, 2012 —
LIVINGSTON MANOR AND CALLICOON, NY — This past weekend was a perfect example of why life is so rich in the Upper Delaware River region. In addition to endless opportunities for high quality outdoor recreation, the full slate of entertainment offerings makes it difficult to plan the day. The variety of people who visit or live here, as well as the spectrum of lifestyles and interests they represent, leads to the kind of cultural array that occurred last weekend.
On Saturday, creatively interpreted expressions of trout fishtailed down Main Street in the ninth annual Trout Parade in Livingston Manor. Giant puppets and community groups, focused on the arts, the environment and high-spirited zaniness, made for a merry scene despite early rain showers.
The next day, a festive crowd gathered to celebrate an icon of classic Americana in Callicoon as more than 250 tractors and proud owners motored their way through town during the 16th annual Tractor Parade. This year's event included everything from riding mowers to mammoth monsters with massive wheels, driven by men, women and youth.
From Johnny Darling to John Deere, each event captured a sense of the unique communities that thrive here. Parade-goers in Livingston Manor saw the launch of the new, youth-led newspaper, Manor Ink (see page 4), while those who gathered in Callicoon observed young people assuming the time-tested traditions of agriculture.

Some adaptations hew very closely to the original. After all, there's a reason you're adapting it in the first place, right? But some writers receive the original manuscript, decide that whatever crap they can pull out of their ass is far superior to the source material, and tear into it like a rabid toddler in a room full of Play-Doh. And thank God for them, because without those disrespectful bastards taking liberties with the sacred sources, we wouldn't have ...
5 The Iconic "Always Be Closing" Speech from Glengarry Glen Ross
New Line Cinema
Even if you've never seen Glengarry Glen Ross, there's a good chance you know Alec Baldwin's profanity-laden closer speech by heart, if for no other reason than we here at Cracked once used it to shame you into being a better person. But as amazing as that scene is, it's also quite out of sync with the rest of the film. Baldwin's character appears in this one scene, for this one thing, and then disappears forever. The rest of the movie concerns the mundane drama of shitty, shady salespeople whose best and most defining moment was getting yelled at by the magnificence that is Alec Baldwin.
New Line Cinema
This was back before it became a rite of passage for anyone living in lower Manhattan.
But Originally:
Find a member of the opposite sex with sad eyes and an elaborate scarf and score some art points by asking them to attend a live theater version of Glengarry. Sit there and get all pumped up, ready to mouth the "Coffee's for closers" speech under your breath, and ... prepare for disappointment. You won't find Baldwin's character anywhere in the play. Not only was he not present in the original work, but despite the movie scene's immense popularity, Baldwin's role has never been retconned into the play, since he ends up being pretty irrelevant to the storyline.
New Line Cinema
"Nice character? I don't give a shit. Good scene? Fuck you! Go home and play it on Netflix."
See, David Mamet is one of the fine and faithful who try to keep adaptations true to the source material (especially since it was his own material he was adapting). But the play version of Glengarry Glen Ross is incredibly short: Its two acts eat up maybe 75 minutes of the audience's time, not including intermission. Some creative padding was in order, and if you're going to fill up on bread sticks, why not make them delicious? They needed a few minutes of filler, so Baldwin was brought in to do what he does best: yell at everybody until they just want to die.
4 Milhouse from The Simpsons
20th Century Fox
Milhouse is a true nerd -- not one of those sexy new breeds of geeks who can "pass" if they need to. Milhouse cannot win, even though he deserves it. Milhouse is a wreck. Milhouse is an outcast. Milhouse is for us. That's why the truth is so painful: Milhouse is only in The Simpsons because of cynical product placement.
20th Television
Which might be the Milhousiest origin possible.
But Originally:
In the beginning, Milhouse didn't even have a name. He was just a lukewarm body whose whole life sucked because his mom didn't stick a candy bar in his lunch bag. Starting in November 1989, before the actual show even began, Bart was already paying his family's bills by extolling the nutritional value of the Butterfinger food group.
That's Milhouse's first appearance. The character exists solely because they needed some other shitty kid to chuck in there next to Bart. His role could have been filled by Nelson, or Rod, or an anthropomorphic house plant.
20th Television
Or an inanimate carbon rod.
Well, perhaps that's simplifying it a bit: The Milhouse sprite -- a blue-haired dork with giant rimmed glasses -- was originally part of a pilot for a Saturday morning cartoon that Simpsons creator Matt Groening wanted to get off the ground. But the pilot went nowhere, and poor Milhouse was doomed, as usual. Then Groening -- clearly not wishing to draw anything new that day -- reused Milhouse when animating the Butterfinger commercial. Once it was all down there on film, Groening liked the character's depressing lack of charisma enough to turn him into Bart's legitimate best friend when The Simpsons premiered a month later. The adult cartoon-viewing audience bonded with the poor hapless dork character for some reason, and he's stuck around ever since.

See full article in FierceHealthIT: Hospitals enlist vendors for data analytics help
"Providers are increasingly turning to big tech companies to help their data mining efforts, according to an article at Bloomberg Businessweek.
Vendors such as Microsoft, SAS, IBM and Oracle are giving mounds of data the once-over in an analytics industry that generated more than $30 billion last year, according to research firm IDC. That figure is expected to grow to $33.6 billion in 2012–and healthcare is a leading customer.
The practice of data-mining, however, raises concerns. Hospitals have been criticized for mining patient data as a means to market to the most lucrative patients, for example. And data mining only exacerbates the concerns of patient advocates such as Deborah Peel, founder of Patient Privacy Rights, who recently told Forbes that people will avoid seeing doctors if they feel their information isn't secure."

#1 – This former A list singer who is a B lister with a fake name must have a lot of charm because according to his television actress ex he is about two inches. Max.
Marilyn Manson
or she could be a bitter exReplyCancel
ERW would nevah be a bitch!ReplyCancel
yuck talk about adding insult to injuryReplyCancel
According to Robin Fink ( NIN guitarist), Manson is also great in blow jobReplyCancel
I'll wait for VIP to confirm…ReplyCancel
@Queen—hey! I was having a NICE dream about James Franco this morning and was woken up by my roommate!!! urggggg I BITCHED her out SO BAD lolllReplyCancel
I would NEVER give head to a man named Robin lolReplyCancel
Derek, Franco for the money. Danny Trejo for husband #2….ReplyCancel
Jenna knows size!ReplyCancel
Silly, its entirety possible both things are true. It is possible that the always truthful Jenna wrote that. It's also possible that a bitter end would cause someone to engage in some trash talking.
Both can be true. Relatively speaking. Now, Derek, about that dream….ReplyCancel
Well is ex could be lying because she is bitter. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…ReplyCancel
Manson has/had good reputation with the groupiesReplyCancel
I don't think someone who gets paid to please like Dita Von Teese, would have married a microdick. I call BS.ReplyCancel
But Jenna Jameson said he went down on her for hours. Soooo at least he makes up for what he's lacking?
Gaaaaahhhh!! That he went down on Jameson at all shows he's missing not so much inches as he is brain cells. A cesspool has got to be cleaner than her cooch.ReplyCancel
So that's why Jenna Jameson no longer has any working brain cells in that pretty little head….ReplyCancel
Good tongue skills can make up for a lot of shortcomings.ReplyCancel
Um porn stars lie esp if she was otherwise fond of the guy and hoping for another 4 hour session and secondly, maybe he's a grow-er not a show-er.ReplyCancel
@Mango: In MM's defense, Jenna probably hadn't had doctors transition her into the Crypt Keeper by the time he hit it. She was quite the hottie back in the day, before the bolt on tits & ass and the hatchet job on her face.ReplyCancel
Why would a woman scorned lie about something that is apparently public knowledge, ie the size of this guy's genitalia, the verdict of which the jury is hung right now.ReplyCancel
Unless MM had some enhancement himself?ReplyCancel
I called that one:)))
Cheers hooray, pass the bottle…
And you know you can have revenge with the truth, the kind of truths the person who pissed you off desperately wants to keep secret. And don't think men/boys don't do the same thing, please. I remember some really nasty business in high school. Of course sometimes people just do it to be cruel period, no revenge motive required.
Adam Levine telling everyone having sex with Maria Sharpova was like having sex with a dead fish.ReplyCancel
Oh and Adam I think said that publicly, that might be on video somewhere not just whispers being the scene,ReplyCancel
@Tina, I remember that article. Adam came out looking like a tool. Unless Sharpova was boiling bunnies and calling him a serial killer, blabbing to a magazine that she's a "dead frog" in bed is a jerk move.
Levine told Russian magazine "Exile" the following: "She wouldn't make any noise during sex. I can't tell you how disappointed I was. I really thought, like a lot of guys, that she'd be the loud screaming type. But instead, she just lay there like a dead frog. She even got angry if I started to moan, said it 'ruined her concentration.' It was so disillusioning that I went on Paxil (an antidepressant) for a month afterwards. Really, it was much more of a shock than when I found out there's no such thing as the Easter Bunny."
Adam Levine Discusses Why He Broke Up With Maria SharapovaReplyCancel
I kinda wanna see the new movie Adam is in—NOT cause of him—but I like Kiera Knightly and Mark RuffaloReplyCancel
I love Jenna's book but come on now, homegirl is massively impaired and she did NOT even write it!!! I don't think she dissed ANYONE's dick size in the entire book, if I recall correctly. And fair enough. My rule has always been, if you hit it, you can't diss it: it reflects badly on both of you…ReplyCancel
It is not nice to kiss and tell. Maybe she should do some more kegels? See, it doesn't make anyone look good when you bash the sexual anatomy of your ex.ReplyCancel
As long as his dong is useful to him, why worry? It's not that female feelings are really worthy, most of it if they keep coming (no pun intended) back to it. Anyway, 2 inches is standard size.ReplyCancel
We've all bad mouthed ex's, Evan has become a nasty little thing, by bet is that it was her & not Rose that said this.ReplyCancel
For reasons I'm not going to get into, my wife knows first hand (and it did NOT involve sexual activity, so stop it) that MM absolutely does not have a micropeen. Jameson was telling the truth, the TV ex is bitter and lying.ReplyCancel
Maybe she just has a HUGE vaginaReplyCancel
In her defense, we have no idea what MM has been saying about ERW. She dumped him so he may have been bitter and talking shit about her and this was just her response (and dick shaming is an easy comeback.)ReplyCancel
He looks like he has a tiny wee winkie. He overcompensates with all the drama.ReplyCancel
I have a friend that advised me a long time ago that if a man took care, really good care of a woman orally then he could usually get her to do anything he wanted. Adam should occupy his mouth that way and I bet he would be happy with the results. I refuse to believe Maria's body and those alethic legs could be anything but incredible.ReplyCancel
Derek – saw it this weekend and it was great. Not your usual rom com or special effects filled blockbuster.ReplyCancel


text: well, Unfortunately, I tried REALLY hard to pump 3x/ day at work (8am - 5pm), but I cannot get my work done (and end up staying late, and then being away from DD for LONGER). So I am pumping 2x a day. Sometimes I can manage a pump in the morning before I leave. The issue is though, my first pump session at work, I get 8 oz! Amazing, right? But the second one, I usually only get 4 oz. Is there any way for me to increase that output to more like 8 oz? Because DD usually eats 4 oz x 3 feedings = 12 oz, so right now I pump EXACTLY what she eats, which is stressful, just in case she's extra hungry one day, or in case I spill some, or something happens, and then she'd have to have formula, and I don't want that . BTW, she is 2 mo old on Friday. Thanks for your help!

Once again, I am slated to present general Object-Oriented techniques at DrupalCon. It's an important topic; sadly a large number of Drupalers don't really "get" OO programming, but Drupal 7 is starting to make heavy use of OO. There are also an enormous number of places in Drupal where a more Object-Oriented approach would make the code vastly cleaner, simpler, and faster, if only more people thought to approach it from that standpoint.
Of course, the question is how to target such a session. I don't want to talk over people's heads, but I also don't want to waste your time with "this is a mouse"-level material.
So, I put the question out to you, future DrupalCon SF attendees. What level of technical detail would be most useful to you?
Ah, the spring. So many things happen in the spring. Snow melts. Flowers bloom. The Easter Bunny sells cheap chocolate. People set their clocks ahead in an attempt to confuse their pets. It is also the start of conference season in the northern hemisphere, which means flying about the country talking about Drupal. This year is especially busy, with 10 presentations in 4 cities so far. (Possibly more to come.)
Here's where you'll be able to stalk Crell in the coming weeks:
For those who don't know him, Aaron Seigo is one of the leading KDE developers and community leaders. (KDE doesn't have a "lead developer" position, just as Drupal does not, but my understanding is if you merge Earl Miles and Angie Byon you sort of have Aaron's role within the KDE community.) He also blogs far more than is probably healthy, but his posts, while long, tend to be very spot-on.
His latest article is one that is of particular interest to the Drupal community, I believe, because as a large, minimally-structured, Open Source development community we face many of the same challenges that other such projects do, such as KDE. In particular, the challenge of who to listen to.
The "smallcore" debate has heated up again of late, with all its various tendrils. However, I still see a lot of the same misunderstands that I've been seeing for weeks. That can only mean one thing. Time for me to write something. :-)
I do not consider myself a "smallcore" advocate, for one very simple reason: It's horribly misleading. Allow me to repeat what I already said there:
The goals of the "smallcore" movement can be obtained without removing one single module from Drupal core.
Instead, I look at the question of Drupal's future direction from a simple architectural perspective: Is Drupal going to be an additive system, or a subtractive system?
Apparently, I share a birthday with the Internet. Who knew?
Of course, I also share a birthday with the Great Depression.
I guess it's a wash.
As many people who know me know, I've been a Palm OS affictionado for years. Starting with the Palm III back in 1998, I've used 8 different Palm OS devices personally, 5 of them Palm, Inc.-branded.
So it is therefore with much sadness that I now say "Palm, go to hell, preferably bankrupt".
DrupalCon Paris 2009 is now in the past. As usual there was last minute chaos, lots of people running around behind the scenes going insane, people hugging friends they see once every six months, presentations ranging from super-technical to light and fluffy, general geekery, and of course copious amounts of beer. (This time we didn't drink out any of the bars, but then it is Paris.)
But there was something else, too, that I saw as an undercurrent of much of the conference: Maturity. Not the "acting like boring, responsible adults instead of having fun in Paris" kind of maturity (may that never happen), but the "thinking about more than just being code ninjas" kind of maturity. Drupal, as a whole, is growing up.
Just when you thought it was safe to go to DrupalCon, here comes... schedule change!
It turns out there was a late cancellation, so the DrupalCon Paris team has asked me to fill in with Drupal Design Patterns on Wednesday afternoon.
If you write modules for Drupal, you want to be there. Although we'll be approaching the subject from a slightly theoretical slant, the main thrust will be how to write code that other developers will understand quickly, that they'll be able to extend, and how to not reinvent the wheel by leveraging existing solutions and approaches.
Do you have a Drupal module you want to upgrade to Drupal 7?
Do you want to know how to leverage the Drupal 7 database layer to make your module better?
Will you be at DrupalCon?
There should be about 500 of you that meet that criteria, by my estimate. More than enough for a BoF. :-)
Are you all set for DrupalCon Paris?
Through the mysteries of scheduling, Paris ended up with not one, but two sessions on Views. The first, from Frédéric Marand, is a 4 hour workshop on Views 2 for coders on day 1. The second is yours truly in a 50 minute session on Views for Developers on day 2.
Sounds very similar, doesn't it? Yeah, we thought so too. Not to worry, though, as we've worked out how to keep both sessions distinct and interesting.
Here's how it will break down, so you can decide which session you want to go to (and you'll want to be at least in one of them; this is Views, after all):

A Madison man was arrested in connection with a robbery at a fast-food restaurant Sunday, police said.
Patrick Curtin, 29, was arrested on suspicion of burglary and a probation hold after an investigation into a break-in at Kentucky Fried Chicken on Greenway Cross.
According to the report, officers responded to an alarm at the KFC at about 1:30 a.m. Police said hundreds of dollars had been taken from the safe.
Surveillance video was used to help identify the suspect, police said.

October 10, 2012 —
The Upper Delaware Council (UDC) has awarded $32,905 in Technical Assistance Grants for nine projects that will further goals and address needs identified in the River Management Plan for the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River.
The latest grant round brings the cumulative amount to $720,397 that the UDC has provided to its member municipalities since 1988. In all, 210 projects have been funded through the Technical Assistance Grants (TAG) program.
Member municipalities submitted applications by an August 31 deadline. Combined requests totaled $44,485. A special meeting of the Project Review Committee to deliberate over the applications took place on September 11. The full council approved the recommended slate at its October 4 monthly meeting.
Technical Assistance Grants are available for research, planning and studies conducted by the UDC's eight member New York towns (Hancock, Fremont, Delaware, Cochecton, Tusten, Lumberland, Highland and Deerpark), five Pennsylvania townships (Damascus, Berlin, Lackawaxen, Shohola and Westfall), and the encompassing river corridor counties.
Buckingham and Manchester townships would also be eligible to receive this member benefit if they joined the UDC.
TAG awards can provide seed money for a municipality to embark on a project without having to dip into local tax dollars.
The approved recipients are:
Town of Cochecton, NY - $7,000 to codify the Town of Cochecton's existing Local Laws to provide easier access to current, accurate information.
Sullivan County, NY - $6,205 to improve preservation and interpretation at Sullivan County's Minisink Battleground Park to increase heritage tourism, appreciation of the unique significance of this site as the only Revolutionary War battle fought in the Upper Delaware, and enjoyment of the area's natural resources.
Town of Lumberland, NY - $5,000 to update the Town of Lumberland's Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan to identify and analyze potential hazards, plan for impacts, and address risk reduction.
Town of Tusten, NY - $5,000 to complete the Town of Tusten's Zoning Law re-write and have the book printed into binders and placed on compact disks.
Town of Deerpark, NY - $3,600 to update the existing 2005 Town of Deerpark Subdivision Ordinance as a tool to promote safe, orderly growth.
Town of Fremont, NY - $2,100 to purchase a "Town Clerk Plus" software program with training provided to help the town operate in a more efficient manner.
Damascus Township, PA - $2,000 to index the Damascus Township Zoning Ordinance with page numbers and electronic links to make the document more user-friendly.
Town of Delaware, NY - $1,500 to render tax maps depicting topography and soil types to more fairly assess and value land within the town; and to develop a website dedicated to the Town of Delaware's cultural history.
Pike County, PA - $500 to reprint the "Greetings from Pike County" brochure that informs residents and visitors of the present activities related to natural gas exploration in Pike County.
Mid-term progress reports are due to the UDC by Feb. 28, 2013. The deadline for project completions is July 26, 2013.
