In "Home or Abroad?: Herd Instinct," writers examine companies that have experienced success with offshoring and those who haven't. One example cited is Zara, the main clothing brand of Inditex, which I profiled in the January 11 edition of APICS Operations Management Now. Zara makes clothes in its own country of Spain and in nearby Portugal and Morocco. According to the Economist, "this costs more than it would in China, but a short, flexible supply chain allows the firm to respond quickly to changes in customer tastes."
By contrast, Apple decision makers choose to partner with China's Foxconn, which invested billions of dollars to increase capacity and meet Apple's iPhone demand. "It built a uniquely flexible and responsive supply chain for the American firm," according to the Economist. Still, anyone following the Apple-Foxconn story knows the relationship isn't a fairy-tale romance. There have been reports of poor working conditions at Foxconn, with a riot breaking out in September 2012. The next month, Foxconn acknowledged that it had hired workers as young as 14. "In December, [Apple CEO Tim Cook] announced that Apple would bring some production of Mac computers back from China to America. He said the main aim was to create jobs in America, but the move may also appease critics of Apple's partnership with Foxconn."
The Economist article outlines the complex decision offshoring really presents. It's not just about cheap labor anymore, but company decision makers might not be adequately weighing the pros and cons. In fact, they may be ignorant of them. David Arkless, head of government and corporate affairs for Manpower, a firm that advises companies on production location, says, "Going somewhere else for the sake of cheaper labor is usually a quick fix and avoids the real problems."
What is the question?
So, when is offshoring a good idea? And, when does it make sense to "reshore" or "nearshore?" To get to the right answers, professionals must consider multiple details, including ease of outsourcing, effectiveness of supply chains, and the growing idea that innovation is more likely when research and development and manufacturing occupy the same space. Issues surrounding labor costs alone are more complicated than they were 10 or 15 years ago.
In the APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) program, offshoring and outsourcing are described as containing many potential benefits, including closer access to raw materials, specific technical expertise, and, of course, potentially lower labor costs. However, these strategies tend to increase the complexity of supply chains and, consequently, bring on greater risk. These include "risks of failure to perform or deliver on time, failure of technology systems or electrical grids for unacceptable periods, or theft of intellectual property. Organizations need to exercise great caution in who they work with and how much to trust these organizations."
Earning your APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) designation shows your employer that you have the knowledge to help companies navigate this complex economic environment of offshoring, nearshoring, reshoring, and outsourcing. Additionally, if you already have earned your certification and you are supporting your colleagues or those you manage as they pursue the CSCP designation, you demonstrate an important commitment to your company's current and future success. Find out more about APICS certifications here, http://www.apics.org/certifications.

Was wondering if anyone here had a name for a person in LA who's a whiz at Filemaker? We're looking for a little consulting help and some advice setting up a stock footage database. There's not a lot of stock footage in our film, but enough to make us need to track it. It's for a doc film about girls education in the developing world, called 10x10: Educate Girls, Change the World (10x10act.org). We're located in LA, near Hollywood, Koreatown, not far from Silverlake.
Let me know if you or someone you know might be interested. Thanks so much, Alex (alex [at] 10x10act [dot] com)

James DePreist 1936-2013
Acclaimed Pasadena Symphony conductor dies at home in Arizona
By Carl Kozlowski 02/14/2013
James DePreist was a man of varied talents and incredible strengths, overcoming polio in his 20s to become one of the world's top orchestral conductors.
The nephew of legendary African-American contralto opera singer Marian Anderson, DePreist established his own giant presence in the classical music world. And thankfully for the Pasadena Symphony, he was a man who knew how to turn behind-the-scenes discord into a harmonious work environment — he took on the duties of conductor and artistic adviser of the orchestra in 2010 and helped guide its transition after the sudden departure of longtime music director Jorge Mester.
DePreist died on Friday at age 76 at his home in Scottsdale, Ariz., from complications of a heart attack he suffered last spring.
He is the second Pasadena Symphony conductor to die in less than a year. In August, world-famous Conductor Marvin Hamlisch, 68, died at his Los Angeles home after a short illness.
According to Pasadena Symphony Association CEO Paul Jan Zdunek, DePreist will be sorely missed and never forgotten.
"Beyond being a world-class musician and someone this orchestra respected, he had an amazing way of coming in and sorting things through very quickly, assessing underlying motives, facts and figures, in our case defusing it and moving things forward as quickly as possible," said Zdunek. "He was a very wonderful talent and a natural talent. When he walked into a room he had a genuine command, not a dictatorship type of command, but the kind that made people want to row the oars in the same direction."
DePreist spent more than four decades as a conductor, leading performances from Sweden to Japan. In addition to his duties with the Pasadena Symphony, he was the permanent conductor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra and director emeritus of conducting and orchestral studies at the Juilliard School in New York.
His longest career tenure came with the Oregon Symphony from 1980 to 2003, and he was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President George W. Bush in 2005. Receiving the nation's most prestigious artistic award from a commander in chief represented a remarkable accomplishment for a man who, due to racism, had a hard time landing a quality classical conducting position in the US when he began his career in the late 1960s.
DePreist reached his American breakthrough anyway, first as the associate conductor of the National Symphony in Washington, DC, in 1971, and then as the first African-American conductor of the Houston Symphony in 1976. In addition to his conducting career, DePreist made more than 50 recordings and published two volumes of poetry, "This Precipice Garden" and "The Distant Siren."
DePreist is survived by his wife, Ginette, two daughters and two grandchildren.

My son is 14 weeks old. I demand feed him. I am with him full time 5 days a week and have at a baby sitter for 4 hours on the other two days. Until this week he has been exclusively on BM. This week my BM has been diminished and I can't figure out why. THe little guy was happy with alittle formula supplimentation, as I have gone through most of my frozen stores. This is not what I want, I want him exclusively on BM.
He is thriving, in the 90% for length and weight, I am feeding him full feedings every two hours. My ped. recommended giving him one to two bottles every day with a tablespoon of rice cereal to stretch his feedings a little bit and give him a little extra substance (the mash potato effect as he called it)
the past few mornings (which was usually my best pumping time) I have barely gotten 3 ozs. What can I do so my milk doesn't dry up and so I don't have to feed the little guy formula!!

Disclosure: I am not earning any money through any links on this website.
I began this blog as a place to document the open-ended, process-oriented art activities I was sharing with my children. That's why you'll predominantly find art posts here. I began homeschooling my 8-year-old son in 2012, and this seemed like the natural place to talk about our homeschooling path. I also have an almost-4-year-old daughter who is home with us, and a 10-year-old in an alternative public school; he was homeschooled through his first grade year.
I think kids are inherently curious and want to learn, because humans are inherently curious and want to learn. I have faith in children's abilities to learn what they need to know. I have watched my three children progress through the toddler/preschool stage and each time I was amazed by how much is learned, how quickly, how joyfully, and I want to help them retain this joy. I believe in slowing my pace to match a young child's need to explore and investigate. I hope to support my children in their unique learning journeys and cultivate the attitude that this journey lasts a lifetime.
Why I Homeschool
I'm homeschooling my middle child because I saw him detaching from education entirely. I was spending an inordinate amount of time cajoling or outright fighting to get him to a place where he was bored, disengaged, and not learning much at all. He melted down repeatedly at home around the subject of school, but, I was assured, he was "fine when he got there." It was separation anxiety (said). It was my parenting (implied). Reports to home, however, informed me that he only put effort into an assignment if it interested him (and very little did). That he required one-on-one help to complete assignments ("it's less boring that way," he told me, with a smirk). That reminders to stay on task didn't work because he told the teachers he would do things on his own schedule. This school, which is working out fine for my oldest child, was turning into a disaster for my middle child. While our other option for public schooling may have been a better fit, I felt that no school would work at this point; first, he needed to separate from the idea that he hated school (and by association, learning).
I am homeschooling so he has the time and space to connect with his innate curiosity and love of learning. I am homeschooling to do the patient work of healing the angry, oppositional child and uncovering the happy, creative, charming kid I sent to kindergarten. This is an incredibly valuable use of my time, but I also feel it's an imperative use of my time. I'm homeschooling to save this kid.

Howard Saves Mets Fans While Free Agency Heats Up
Yes, Ryan Howard saved some Mets fans from certain death…on TV anyway. Last night both Howard and Chase Utley made guest appearances on the show "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia." Howard may have gotten the biggest laugh of the night when he stopped one of the characters from attacking a few Mets fans:
Utley did not have many lines, which is probably a good thing. So while a career in acting is out, at least his hair looked terrific. And Howard got the best line of the night with, " I just saw you bite that dude."
Crossing Broad has the video of their segment, in case you missed it.
Free Agent News With a Dash of Sarcasm
– Pitcher Kyle Kendrick and outfielder Ben Francisco were both tendered contracts yesterday in order to keep them with the Phillies and out of free agency. Francisco was a no-brainer. And due to a lack of starting pitching depth, signing Kendrick makes sense as well…unless his 27.51 ERA with 2 outs and runners in scoring position bother you.
– The San Francisco Giants have asked Pat Burrell to return and signed him to an undisclosed amount. Apparently his 0 for 13 with 11 strikeouts World Series performance prompted the signing? Here is another fun Burrell fact; Pat "The Bat" has two World Series rings and only one World Series hit. It is good to be The Bat.
– Adam Dunn and his 38 home runs in the 2010 season signed a four-year, $56 million dollar deal with the White Sox. The Washington Nationals collective batting average immediately dropped about 100 points. Attendance will likely drop to a 15 fan per game average.
– Star closer for the Yankees, Mariano Rivera, 41, has been signed to a new two-year deal. As part of the contract negotiation, Rivera will still be allowed to use his Senior Citizen discount at the team gift shop.
– Jayson Werth has still not signed with the Phillies and hell has not yet frozen over. Coincidence?
Have a great weekend!
*Read more about the Phillies at my other home page, Phightin' Phils Phorum in the My Team Rivals network*
1 Comment
Thank goodness they've found their niche as Phillies, because I think an acting career is ruled out for both of them!
I recall seeing that little Burrell factoid right after the WS was over – talk about a pitiful performance in the biggest games of the season!

Searching NS-DA2G playlist
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease, couln't someone send me a working playlist for my DA2G? I've even got there an wmp playlist an it doesn't work... the .m3u's don't work correctly and I can't create those f**$§"% .pla's.........
please someone, please help me.... there are so many tracks from my cds which are only called "track x" so I need a playlist (or I have to rename 100000000000000000000000000000000000000 ID3-Tags and search for names... Swell )
many desperate greetz
|[Remove Advertisement]
Someone can't just send you a playlist and make it work in your player. The playlist has to be pointing to songs in YOUR computer and player.
You create a playlist with either WMP10 0r WMP11. Then, "sync" THAT playlist with your Insignia.
Before you even think about adding songs to your playlist or player it's a good idea to TAG them. There are plenty of free MP3 tagging programs out there. Make sure the names and tags are correct or else they will show up weird in your player.
Once you get playlists going with the Insignia, you'll love it.
The ultimate solution for non-working playlists :D
*lol* no, guess you missunderstood, I know that point
I was just wondering about the exact format of a working playlist (cause I don't have any), so I can write a programm to simulate ist. Each file of a specific type has a specific syntax. I just need to know if there are specific headers etc, and how are the tracks listed exactly. And then happy simulating (I'm pretty clever at all kind of computer stuff, but I never ever get the wmp playlists working, and yes I'd synced it and yes I'd used for testing files with complete ID3 Tags)
.... but it doesn't matter anymore because :
*tatatatatatata* I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've found a pretty good alternative which could be used if no Playlists - no matter what done - worked and if you're fed up with the synchronization so that you couldn't just drag'n'drop.
Hehe, it's just so easy, I'm wondering why nobody else found it out / posted it to share this treasure with others....
ok but now to the solution:
1 - you just need wmp 10 (I tested it with that but I guess 9 also will work).
2 - copy from your pc all the tracks of a playlist in a extra folder for each PL (the folders are not nessessary but make it easier) on your device
3 - open the wmp 10. the easiest way is - cause you now never have to "really" use it - to clear you media database/library (don't know the right english term, have just the german); then add just one PL-folder of your device.
4 - there you will find the different ID3 Tag entries, and there is one (pretty useless I think, except for that) entry called "genre"
5 - so just mark all of the tracks, right-click on one of the cells of genre, click on edit/rename and change the name in whatever your PL should be called
6 - repeat that with all your folders on the device (best step by step so you always know easy which tracks belong to which PL)
7 - then, most important, click on the menuebar on "extras" (or whatever the point left of the "?" is called) and then on "proceed media-information" (or something like that it's the 3rd entry, no shortcut)
that takes a few minutes but if it's done you can just use your player and instead of music library -> playlists, select -> genre and *tatatatatatatatata* you've got there all your playlists with all your beloved tracks. No track is missing, and you don't have to use any program to sync your tracks you can just drag'n'drop them
And isn't that a good solution?
plus, if you are one of those few who are really conscientious with their genre entries, no problem, you just modified those on the player not those on your pc
so please gimme feedback if this was the solution for you like it was for me. Now I'm really happy with my player and I'm looking relaxed forward to the new firmware including m3u playlists
greetz from a pretty-happy-flipping-around
I dont get the issue with people having playlists in wmp10 or 11. Its not that hard people. I even showed my 8 year old how to configure and sync her playlists for her mp3 player.
As I know, there're things in the world of the computers which we will never understand such as a program works on one pc perfectly and on a different there's no change.... and especially if it's a microsoft product
So believe me or not, call me more stupid than your kid or not, I know something about that stuff, I tried nearly everything and it failed. So I first just wanted to try to edit a working PL in my f**ing editor to look what happens. So whats the matter with that kind of proceeding??
btw: guess nearly everybody would be pleased about a working m3u to pla converter
I'm sorry. I don't want to insult you... But, I have no idea what you are doing based on that description of the playlist creation. I'm very confused. I WANT to understand and try it. I'm just having a hard time understanding what you are doing to create the list.
Please help!!
than you.
Insignia playlist workaround
I, the great Mongo, would like to congratulate Charlotte for an effective workaround to the lame Insignia playlist implementation!! Her text below, but believe I've improved it a bit, and best of all does NOT involve crappy WMP (aka WiMP ).
Something to play in order from multiple directories was critical for me as my primary use is to listen to audio books - hence the obvious need to play in exact order.
Using Dr. Tag, or similar MP3 tag editor, edit the genre, as noted below, to something that is "unique" to the songs desired in the "playlist". In my case I used the book title. Even multiple tracks with the same name, but with an 01, 02, etc sequence, spread across sequentially numbered sub-directories, it worked just fine. One note different from Charlotte is that I did all this on the hard drive because it is faster than the flash memory in the Insignia 4GB model I have.
After everything was ready, I just dragged/copied the directories into the Music directory of the insignia. When turned on and its library was refreshed, it showed up fine under Genre and across 11 directories listed 60 "songs" which played in the proper order. Hooray!!
Thanks again to Charlotte!

Insignia Playlist Format - please define
It is easy to create a playlist in WMP, or even easier to create in Media Monkey in m3u or wpl format. And pretty easy to sync. What doesn't seem to work is that the playlist actually SHOW UP under "playlist" in the player.
Could somebody please define the directory structure on the Insignia?
?does the .wpl file need to be in the root directory, in Music directory, or other? And anything specific about the file locations? Otherwise will continue w/ "genre" workaround discussed elsewhere.

Playlists vs NAND vs Genre for mp3 audio books
playlists vs NAND vs Genre for mp3 AUDIO BOOKS
Pretty obvious we won't see any software beyond 1.93 for the NS-DV. Have used the genre for audio books since playlists are not any easier. And for neither can you stop and save a playlist position, play something else, and come back.
But discovered an anomoly in genre in if some files had a photo of the book and some did not, but names and genre are correct - still plays out of order. But have discovered that genre is unnecessary if one simply uses the folder (NAND) and files are named sequentially, they play in order regardless.

PsionResources for the classic range of Psion PDAs
I have owned and used Psion computers since 1996: Siena, 3mx, 5mx, Revo Plus, Series 7, and netBook.
Around 14 years ago I started to collect information about using and programming Psion computers on my website.
Here are some useful resources:
- PsionEx (Spares and repairs)
- PsionFlexi (Screen cable repairs)
- Psion classic devices forum
This site is currently offline, while I decide what to do with it. Sorry.

State and it is Ohio
Ohio tax liens are judgment liens and are filed with the clerk of courts. While the procedure you have mentioned will have the lien recorded as released, it won't necessarily remove it from your credit file. A released tax lien can stay on your credit file for seven years from the date it is recorded as released.
The IRS's new procedure is to have the lien withdrawn. This is separate from having it released. By having it withdrawn it is treated as if it never happened in the first place and should be removed from your credit file.
I am not aware of any states that withdraw liens.
I have an Ohio tax lien that I've been banging my head against for nearly a year now. Paid it in Mar 2007, but did not realize it had to be recorded at the courthouse until Nov 2007. Despite it being "cancelled" (according to the release) in March, it still shows as November on the CRAs. VERY frustrating, adding a random 8 months reporting. I've written a boatload of letter to various agencies, representatives, etc not understanding why I'm "sentenced to a 7 year debtor's prison term" for something I paid in full as soon as I found out about it (it was estranged husband's filing, I thought he paid it). I don't understand why the IRS can withdraw, but the states can't. Seems like it would be in their best interest to not have that anchor dragging down credit scores when the citizen paid the debt. The goal is to collect the taxes, not inflict punitive damages, right?
Well then my friend I just wasted money for something I should have left alone. lol
Thanks for the detailed instructions. I will be using it tomorrow. Wish me luck.
I did get a letter from the tax agency after they reviewed my return and discovered I owed no tax at all. The courthouse refused to acknowledge the letter. Disputing it at the CRB's did no good at all. I have sent the state letters to the CRB and the courthouse and nearly 8 months later they will not remove it. Nor will they show it as paid.
you need to ask the Tax agency to give you "withdrawl lien' papers. If its their mistake they will do this. Hope this helps.
1. Send it certified witha copy to their legal department. File a small claims lawsuit if they refuse.
2. Go to your county clerks's office and give them a copy, they are also obligated to remove it.
I just dropped in here on a google search and noticed on the IRS website it has slightly different instructions for form 12277. Specifically, it says to check box 11, not box 12. Here is a link to the instructions:

What Can I Expect in a First Reflexology Visit?
The following section walks you through a typical appointment and answers some common concerns.
What happens in the intake?
A reflexology session begins with the practitioner conducting a brief health history, checking in case reflexology might not be the best choice of therapy for you.
The practitioner explains how reflexology works and what happens during a session. The reflexologist also informs you that reflexology does not treat specific illness and is not a substitute for medical treatment. You may be asked to sign a consent form.
Remember that it is okay, and even expected, for you to ask questions. You should feel comfortable communicating with the reflexologist. If the practitioner is not forthcoming with information, or is dismissive of questions or concerns, this could be a "red flag," and you have every right to terminate the appointment.
How does a typical session start?
The practitioner may choose to work only on the feet, or the hands, or the ears, depending on your specific health issues. Some problems respond better to work on the feet, others to work on the hands; yet others respond better to the reinforcement of work on all three - hands, ear and feet. In some situations, for example a patient in the hospital may have IV's and multiple tubes and wires, so a reflexology sesssion may be limited to the feet by necessity.
If the reflexologist chooses to work on your feet, you will lie or sit down, remaining fully clothed except for your shoes and socks. The practitioner may wash your feet and soak them in warm water, then position them at his or her chest level.
The practitioner will begin by assessing your feet for open wounds, rashes, sores, plantar warts or bunions and will ask you about any foot or leg pain that could hinder treatment.
Generally a session lasts between 30-60 minutes. You can rest or talk during the session at your discretion. If you fall asleep during the session, you will still receive the benefits of the treatment. Feedback during the session is encouraged, and of course, you can request that the session stop at any time.
Please share your thoughts so we can improve this website!
What is the focus of the session?
Regardless of your health condition(s) (for example, migraine, nausea, sciatica, etc.), the reflexologist focuses on the entire pattern of the reflexology therapy, starting at the toes and working down the foot.
Having a specific condition in mind allows the reflexologist to carefully feel and work the area corresponding to the presenting problem. However reflexologist will work all areas of the foot with gentle pressure, because, according to reflexology theories, this allows the nerve pathways and congestion to release and promotes the relaxation response for the entire body.
For example, if you are suffering from migraines, the migraine points on the toes will be carefully, mindfully worked, assessing congestion or tension in the foot. But the reflexologist will still work the entire pattern on your foot in order to address the whole body.
Throughout, the reflexologist will stay present, grounded, and in a calm and centered state of awareness.
What is a reflexology treatment?
A complete reflexology therapy session uses many different techniques and includes all of the points on both feet (and perhaps the hands and ears). The session generally starts at the fingers or toes, and works down to the heel of the hand or foot, then works the areas on the sides and top.
By working all of the points, the reflexologist addresses internal organs and glands as well as muscle groups, bones, nerve ganglions (solar plexus, brachial plexus) and nerves (sciatic) during a session.
If reflexologists find congestion or tightness during the session, they will apply pressure to work on bringing the body back into balance. If the practitioner finds an area of pain, the area is worked until harmony is brought to the area or point. To "release pain" is not the model: the goal is rather to bring the whole body into balance, and then the pain will subside. The reflexologist stimulates the nervous system to do the work, it is not the therapist who "fixes" it.
The reflexologist can return to that area or spot at the end of the session, confirming the pain has released.
What will I experience during the session?
Experiences with reflexology sessions vary from a general sense of relaxation and rest to a conscious awareness internally of the area of the body where the practitioner is working through the foot, hand or ear.
Many people experience a "lightness" or tingling in the body, as well as feelings of warmth, a sense of "opening," or "energy moving" from the practitioner's pressure to the specific body area or organ. There is often a physical perception of energy flowing through every organ, valve, gland, or muscle, as well as a sense of communication between each body system.
Other reactions during the session range from physical to emotional and may include:
- Perspiration of hands or feet
- Sensation of being cold or chilled
- Feeling light-headed
- Coughing
- Laughing
- Crying
- Sighing deeply
- Overwhelming desire to sleep
- Disappearance of all pain and discomfort
- Loose, relaxed muscles
- Feeling like all organs are hanging freely, not stressed and connected
- Thirst
- Rarely, contraction of muscle groups (pain)
It bears repeating: Reflexologists do not diagnose
Reflexologists do not diagnose or tell you about any congestion or tension they observe on the foot, hand, or ear during a session that may suggest abnormalities.
One of the theories of reflexology is that the body will nurture and repair itself once released from stress. If the body is extremely stressed, the reflexologist may refer you to a medical team or another treatment, if appropriate, but at no time will he or she give medical advice or diagnosis.
What happens at the end of the session?
Most reflexologists have some type of calm, peaceful way of closing the session that involves stroking the hand or foot and holding the limb in some manner. The important aspect is for you to feel comforted and nurtured, and to feel that you have had time for yourself during the session.
Now that the session is complete, you should not feel rushed. Gently bring yourself back into the present moment, and orient yourself. As you feel comfortable, gather yourself and your belongings to leave.
The practitioner may recommend that you drink water, rest if necessary, and pay attention to your body in the next few hours. If any questions or concerns arise, you should be able to call the practitioner.
Various reactions may occur following a reflexology session. These, too, are subtle, and are often not recognized by many people as a result of the reflexology therapy. Many of the reactions are positive signs that the session is part of a healing process; other symptoms are indicative of the body's attempts to return to a state of balance and harmony. Symptoms usually last for 24-48 hours. Reactions may include:
- Increased energy
- Enhanced sleep
- Relief from pain
- More mobile joints
- Tiredness (some clients find that they need more sleep in order for the body to rest and repair)
- Skin rashes, pimples, or spots (due to elimination of toxins)
- Kidney stones passed with ease
- Frequent bowel movements, diarrhea (cleansing, elimination of toxins)
- Increased mucus (nasal discharge, vaginal discharge)
- Flu-like symptoms
- Emotional or psychological release (crying)
How many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions varies and is determined by the client's health and reasons for seeking reflexology. But in general, results from reflexology are often subtle and are cumulative. Thus, you are more likely to see greater benefits from regular sessions (for example, once a week for six weeks) than if you had a session once every six months.
If you are dealing with a specific illness or condition, you may need to have more frequent sessions. A general recommendation might be to begin with a session every week for 6-8 weeks, followed by a "tune-up" every four weeks.

84-Year-Old Woman Defies Age Stereotypes
With a zeal for life, a passion to help others and a strong curiosity that drives her to try new things, Jean Hicks, a resident at Woodland Pond, has been defying her age for quite some time. She not only participates in the many organizations and activities offered at Woodland Pond, a continuing care retirement community in New Paltz, she organizes and leads many recreational programs herself. From strength training to duplicate bridge to pet therapy to gardening to bird watching to library committee work, Jean explores all of her interests and hobbies. "When I retired, I decided I was going to do something every day to keep my body in motion," shared Hicks. "I feel better when I am active and engaged in life, rather than letting it slip past me. I have a lot of curiosity and have been doing things for myself and for others all my life. I grew up in a family that raised me to help others in the community. I find joy in volunteering my time to lead a strength training class, check out people at the Market Basket, bring flowers to people in skilled nursing and organize bird watching groups. It is nice to see smiles on people's faces when you do something good for them." Hicks leads the weekly strength training class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. The group consists of 18 to 22 people each session. She enjoyed doing strength training so much in her hometown of Dutchess, that she continued doing it in her apartment at Woodland Pond. Within a short period of time, other residents began joining her and eventually they had to move to a common workout area, as the class grew in such popularity. Hicks enjoys teaching the strength training class because she has witnessed positive results in both herself and others. She no longer has joint problems from a ski accident, and other residents have experienced alleviated pain and discomfort from aging as well. "When I first came to Woodland Pond in 2010, I started leading a bird watching group," said Hicks. "The group meets spontaneously to observe unique and rare birds outside. With the advances in technology, we are now able to observe birds and their nests via cameras that connect to and display footage on the Internet. This has become a very popular way to study the birds in their natural habitats." In addition to leading bird watching groups and strength training classes, Hicks takes her dog and vases full of fresh flowers to the health center several times a month. Her poodle will interact with people in skilled nursing, and fills the need of pet therapy. The flowers come from a garden that she grows outside of her residence. She refreshes the vases every four to five days. "While everything I do brings me happiness, I think playing duplicate bridge is one of the most fun things that helps keep my mind sharp," said Hicks. "We meet every Thursday afternoon. About 15 to 20 people play each week and dining services provides refreshments while we play. We can get kind of competitive, but it is all in good fun. To challenge myself a bit more, I plan on taking some classes offered to Woodland Pond residents in the fall at Marist College in Poughkeepsie. Just because I am 84 does not mean that I am done learning or applying my brain!" Hicks is involved in many different activities and interest groups at Woodland Pond. The community offers meetings and outings that help residents explore interests in charades, poetry, singing, concerts, shopping excursions, operas, fitness routines, language classes, play reading, gardening, dining, brain teasers, Chinese movement classes, knitting and crocheting, movies, happy hours and much more. Hicks says that anything you could possibly want to participate in is available, and, if it is not, you can approach the staff and the idea materializes. "We try to fulfill as many interests as possible, which is easy when motivated seniors like Jean Hicks help design and initiate different programs," expressed Robert Seidman, executive director at Woodland Pond. "Graceful aging comes from staying socially, mentally and physically active. Engaging with others and with life in various ways fulfills our need as humans to share experiences with one another, build relationships and create challenges that turn into cherished memories."

The investigation began on Monday after 28- year-old inmate Steven Gonzales approached uniformed security officers at the unit to say he was having issues with his cell mate, officials said in a news release.
Gonzales further indicated that officers should go to the assigned cell.
A responding officer approached the cell and found the cell mate lying on the bottom bunk covered with a mattress. He was unresponsive, the release said.
The victim was identified as 30-year-old Bobby Paris. He was serving a six-year sentence after being convicted of sexual assault of a child and forgery.
He had been received by the TDCJ's Institutional Division on May 19, 2009, from Henderson County.
Security and medical personnel initiated life-saving measures, and the victim was rushed to the infirmary on a gurney.
Emergency medical personnel arrived at the scene and pronounced the offender dead at 5:58 p.m.
TDCJ spokesman Jason Clark said Gonzales has been placed in administrative segregation.
Gonzales was received by the TDCJ on Jan. 15, 2008, from Dallas County to serve a life sentence for murder.

He's The Man…
The third baseman that I now refer to as the "Thin Toad"¹ was finally benched. Ramiro Pena replaced Cody Ransom at third base when the Yankees faced the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night at Tropicana Field.
¹During a spring training game in the late 90's, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner labeled pitcher Hideki Irabu as a 'fat puss-filled toad' when Irabu failed to cover first base on a routine ground ball.
Other lineup changes included a day off for left fielder Johnny Damon. Damon has been enduring a personal issue involving his mother, and has been weakened both mentally and physically. Also going to the bench is DH Hideki Matsui, who has struggled out of the gate with a .125 batting average.
Catcher Jorge Posada moved to DH, while catching duties were handled by Jose Molina. Mark Teixeira was back in the lineup at first base, while Nick Swisher moved to left field.
The moves left Swisher batting clean-up. Whoa! An ace reliever one night, and Babe Ruth the next!…
Swisher responded with his fourth home run of the young season.
Meanwhile, what can I say about Yankees pitcher A.J. Burnett? He's the stopper. He's the ace. He's the man…
The Yankees defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 7-2. It had been a pitcher's duel until Derek Jeter's three-run homer blew the game open in the 9th. But the night belonged to the Man…
I have continued to follow the career of Jason Giambi, and will be a big fan of his so long as the Oakland A's aren't playing the New York Yankees. ESPN.com has profiled Giambi's workout regiment, and it is a must-read for anyone looking to lose a few pounds!
If you are looking to fit into that bikini or swimsuit, you might want to try the G-Workout! Well, maybe not. Too funny!
Goodnight, All!

Congrats on the win. For us? Dice-K gone after one. It is now 5-3 in the top of the 3rd and no we aren't winning. Hey – can we borrow Swisher? lol? No wait – I'm serious…..
More prof the Giambi used steroids. Look at him in that picture and look at him now!
Burnett was amazing. I am so happy we got Swisher as well, he has carried the offense since A-Rod's been out. When will we send down Wang and call up Robertson or someone else?
shortporch http://shortporch.mlblogs.com/
Scott – Just more good news for Red Sox Nation this morning. Dice-K might be headed for the DL and Jed Lowrie might need season-ending wrist surgery. I'm not giving up! My guys will win over my birthday weekend, but let's just say it might be a good thing I look good in pink. sigh…..this could be a long season.
JULIA – I've liked Nick Swisher since the Yankees acquired him. Obviously it wasn't his stats given his abysmal performance in Chicago last year. But his personality is so infectious. I thought he'd be the perfect fit in the Yankees clubhouse which has the reputation of being so corporate-like. I was a little worried about losing Giambi's personality for that reason, but Swish has more than made up for it. Plus, he's been productive. Sorry about the 12 inning loss last night…well, no, not really! 😉
BOB – Unfortunately, you're right. But all things considered, I still like Giambi as a player and I think he has honestly tried to make amends for his past drug use.
SHORT PORCH – Wang won't get sent down just to be sent down. If he went to Scranton it would be purely to give him a few starts to right the ship before he returns. But the Yanks will give him a few more major league starts before they start taking more drastic measures. If Wang went down, the Yanks would most likely bring up a starter to take his place (Hughes or Kennedy).
JULIA – One thing I've learned…never underestimate Theo. Just when things look grim, he pulls a rabbit out of a hat. Somehow I think the lights will be on at Fenway Park in October. I am looking forward to these play-off clashes: Yankees vs Red Sox; Sharks vs Bruins; Lakers vs Celtics; and Vikings vs Patriots. Hey, it's possible. Stranger things have happened! Thanks for the congrats on #22, but there's no way I'll dedicate my blog to Roger Clemens! Congrats to you on Lou Gehrig #4!
Loved your link to Giambi's "workout routine." So funny. I miss his personality and wish him well, but I'm so glad we made the moves we did. Sorry to hear about Damon's personal problems. He seems like such a good guy. I wonder if Pena will be back at third base today….
Now that Nady is out for the year I bet you are glad the Yankees didn't trade Swisher. He has good power and has nice versatility but if only he could hit for average he would be an all-star.
Congrats on the win! At least my guys kept pace today! Wake went the whole game. WE HAVE A PITCHER! You can keep Swisher now. Thanks!😉

There's Something About Opening Day…
in on the same day (or night, for baseball). Coincidence? I think not. I collected Easter eggs (see above), I went to church on Sunday, but I think it was a different church than many of you may have attended. As Annie Savoy (Bull Durham) would say, I went to the church of baseball. "The only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the church of baseball."
13 Comments
I've been preaching that Opening Day should be a recognized holiday for years. Opening Day (Monday) was also the first day of Little League practice for us, too, so it was a perfect day for celebrating baseball. Teaching kids about the game really makes it worth while.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Also, forgot to mention that today should be a day of mourning for baseball fans since it is one year removed from the unfortunate passing of Mark 'The Bird' Fidrych…
Opening day is my favorite day of the year. It is beyond special. I do not enjoy the company of people who do not honor the great game of baseball.
I am glad there are young Americans who feel the same as I do.
The Three Bs
"Time Theft"
There IS something about Opening Day. It makes me want to cry, it makes me want to rejoice, it makes me want to do a happy dance..!
And I must agree that my friends do accept that I am a baseball freak…but that's exactly what they think of me, a freak. SIGH, when will people understand? It's ok, at least we have each other.🙂 xoxo http://diamondgirl55.mlblogs.com
You hit this one high and far. It's outta here!! Another HR by the Future Blog of the Sox. That pic of Fenway with the sun shining through is outstanding!!
Happy belated Opening Day.
I've never read "Shoeless Joe" (I'll have to check it out sometime), but I was struck by how much of a religious feel that passage has. If you substituted God or Jesus or whatever deity you believe in for the word "baseball" throughout, it sounds just like a sermon.
BTW, is that the infamous jar of salsa that I can see the edge of in your photo?
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I'd like for you to post a pic of ALL of your Red Sox swag. I collect authentic jerseys and caps. Right now I only have Giants stuff, such as Timmy's home and away jerseys, and the on-field cap. My Red Sox cap is on the way and next month I'm ordering a Youkilis jersey. It won't be long before my MLB stuff overtakes my NFL stuff. In just a few short years I've become obsessed.
Wow, amazing entry! I love the pictures too. I was like, "oh my goodness, did she take that?" and then I read that it wasn't yours. Oh well. It's still an amazing pictures. Congrats on #3!!
A typically stellar entry for you Elizabeth. I think of things in terms of baseball too. I also think of things in terms of irony. It would be insanely ironic if one day your long term significant other was a diehard Yankees fan. I will hide now so you can't throw anything at me. But this was a very eloquent opening day monologue entry.
Later, kid
~ Will
I know what you mean about the off-season..it is such a depressing time. And don't feel bad about your friends…mine all think I am a freak too…lol
what a beautiful blog post! That is so true. My friends aren't baseball fans or sports fans in general so I can't talk to them about this stuff. That's why I have my blog and my family. At least I have people that understand why I love it so much. It's so great that you acknowledge your love for baseball. It's a beautiful thing! I'm right there with you🙂

the bullpen is really good for autos because the players pretty much are just hanging around during pre game but idk about the pics because most bullpens are like 10 feet lower than the seats so idk but hope you can do that sometime.

The L.A. River is Alive: From Mudbugs to Mallards
On Sunday, I joined two amazing people, Jenny Price and Lynn Garrett, on the Hidden L.A. River Tour. Yes people, L.A. does indeed have a river, one with real flowing water, real wildlife, and people like Jenny and Lynn, who are really passionate about it. It was an awesome adventure to explore our river with such knowledgeable and enthusiastic people!
The morning started bright and early at 9 am at the L.A. River Center and Gardens, where many river-based non-profits have their offices. We quickly figured out the carpool situation, since it was a driving/walking tour of the river, and got a brief introduction that outlined the six rivery stops that were ahead of us. Without much further ado, we piled in our cars and headed to our first stop on the river.
We didn't have far to travel. The first stop was only five miles north of our...

AUSTIN, TX — Today, Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst appointed Senator Kel Seliger (R-Amarillo) to the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science Advisory Board.

"I think this is an important and innovative program and hope that I can help it become a model for math and science education throughout Texas and nationwide."

Seliger currently serves as Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Redistricting, as well as actively serving on the Education, Finance, International Relations and Trade, and Natural Resources Committees.

Towers says that Braves, Cubs are still in it
Kevin Towers is pathetic. I guess it really isn't his fault, but this is so ridiculous. Latest news is that the Cubs still might be in the Peavy sweepstakes even though they signed Ryan Dempster. He has also reported that the Braves could be still in it too. Sigh. Is it Spring Training yet?
4 Comments
I really hope the Braves get this done. It could have been over 3 weeks ago if Towers would have taken the best deal so far, but unfortunately he didn't and now we are here waiting to see which uniform Jake will wear in Spring Training. I still seriously doubt the Cubs will get it done though. I might not ever watch baseball again if the Yanks get Peavy and sign Sabathia, Burnett, and Tex/Lowe.
I heard that the Padres signed a couple of minor league guys to their roster. Hopefully they've got some talent that can be developed.
Pedroia probably will have to get a new trophy shelf, he's absolutely insane. I'm glad that he won, I think that he really deserved it.
I can only do one thing in math, and it's proofs. I don't know why, they just click with me. When it comes to finding x… I become lost. And Algebra 2, is the most pointless class that I have ever taken.
Please – all I want for Christmas is an early start to Spring Training!
Anybody but the Cubs!!! Noooooo…!!
I posted my first video-check it out!
