Freedom New Mexico: Clarence Plank ENMU senior strong safety Tillman Stevens covers a kick Thursday during special teams practice. The Greyhounds host Texas A&M-Commerce at 2 p.m. today.
Dave Wagner
After 11 years in the South Division since the Lone Star Conference went to divisional play in 1999, Eastern New Mexico University's football team is set to make its North Division debut today.
The Greyhounds could get themselves off to a quick start with a win over defending champion and North preseason favorite Texas A&M-Commerce at Blackwater Draw.
"They're the (defending) division champions, the way we look at it," ENMU coach Mark Ribaudo said. "The road through the North goes through Commerce."
The Lions (1-2) did it the hard way last year, losing their first five games — including a 76-56 thumping at Blackwater Draw — before recovering to sweep though the North, its first conference/division title since 1990 and first five-game winning streak since 1992.
Based on early-season results, this year's contest isn't likely to resemble that one. The Lions are averaging just 14.3 points so far and were shut out last week at Texas A&M-Kingsville, although that game was played in far-from-ideal weather conditions.
"We've just got to play like this is a championship game," said ENMU senior strong safety Tillman Stevens, second this season in the LSC with 33 tackles. "They're not going to just come in here and lay down."
Coming off a bye week, Ribaudo said ENMU (1-2) was able to regroup after back-to-back losses, but he expects a tough test from the Lions.
"They're an athletic team; they've played in some tough conditions — extreme heat in the Cotton Bowl (in a loss to Angelo State) and the muck in Kingsville," he said. "I think they're better than last year, from what we've seen on film."
Picked for fourth in the division, the Hounds believe they can do better than that.
"I know I'm not the only one here with a chip on their shoulder," Stevens said. "We've got to use this week to make a statement."
The Hounds hope to have offensive co-ordinator Mike Howard back this week. He underwent triple bypass surgery in Lubbock on Aug. 29.
Howard returned to practice last week on a limited basis, using a golf cart to get around. Ribaudo said Howard has made significant progress, adding he's hoping Howard will be able to call plays today from the press box.
"He's quite far ahead of the game," Ribaudo said. "Even his doctors are saying that."

State receives $22.7M for pre-K programs
Award is 50 percent of Wisconsin's 2011 request
Wisconsin was awarded $22.7 million in a Race to the Top early-learning challenge grant.
The White House said Thursday that Wisconsin is one of five states awarded money this year under the $133 million grant fund designed to improve quality and expand early learning programs.
Nine other states won funding in the first round of awards last year.
For 2012 funding, Wisconsin and four other states were asked to amend their 2011 applications, reducing the plan to about 50 percent of the original cost.
The competition called on states to create proposals to improve early learning by coordinating existing programs, evaluating and rating program quality, and increasing access to high-quality programs.
Wisconsin's money will be awarded over a four-year period in accordance with its plan.
The other five awardees received grants in the following denominations: Colorado, $29.9 million; Illinois, $34.8 million; New Mexico, $25 million; and Oregon, $20.5 million.

Danny Almonte, But Not Really
I didn't have a whole lot of success in little league. I could field all right but I couldn't hit a curve. Or a fastball. Or a changeup which is really what most of the pitchers were throwing back then anyway. Turns out I might have been going at the thing all wrong, though. See, if I would have started a couple years after everyone else but started at the beginning, I might have had a chance. Kind of like Julious Threatts.
Man, as a 14-year old hitting against 7-year olds, I could have cleaned up! Just imagine. Twice their age, probably almost double their size. It would have been like this:
Or maybe like this:
Either way, it would have been awesome. At least until a 17-year old joined up.
Happy Friday and happy Labor Day weekend.

That last video would have made a great public service announcement for anti-drugs/alcohol. Wow.
Getting involved in little league late? Exceptable.
The size of the lump on the back of that girl's head? Priceless!
Happy Labor Day Weekend

"This firm is best known for its market-leading CFIUS practice. The team receives praise for its in-depth knowledge of the relevant industries as well as the technical side of the process."—Chambers USA 2013 (Nationwide: International Trade)
Kaye Scholer is renowned internationally for its National Security/CFIUS practice group. We have substantial experience in national security matters before the United States government, including the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), the Department of State, the Department of Commerce and the intelligence community.
CFIUS is a multi-agency committee empowered to review all foreign investments into US companies (including foreign-owned US businesses) that may affect US national security. US national security is interpreted very broadly by CFIUS, and includes not only transactions involving US defense contractors, but also mergers and acquisitions that could result in foreign control of US critical infrastructure, such as, for example, communications, energy, transportation, and mining assets. Following CFIUS review, the President may block transactions that are deemed a threat to the national security, making it essential to structure transactions to address anticipated national security concerns. Short of blocking a transaction, CFIUS can require a broad range of mitigation measures to address national security concerns. CFIUS-based mitigation is becoming increasingly common and can impose significant restrictions on the transaction and the ability of the buyer to control and access the acquired US business. Kaye Scholer lawyers have extensive experience representing clients in complex transactions, including negotiating and assisting companies with implementation of, and compliance with, a wide range of CFIUS-based mitigation arrangements.
Our lawyers have been recognized by Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business and Chambers Global: The World's Leading Lawyers for Business as leading practitioners before CFIUS. Our experience includes matters involving the defense, aerospace, communications, information systems, manufacturing, mining and technology sectors. Over the past 20 years, we have helped clients around the globe negotiate the CFIUS process, including clients from Australia, Austria, Bermuda, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Kaye Scholer consistently represents clients in nearly a quarter of all transactions notified to CFIUS each year, serving as lead counsel representing the buyers or sellers, or as national security advisors to the buyers or sellers.
In addition to CFIUS matters, we represent clients in all aspects of US national security regulatory issues, both in the context of transactions as well as with respect to general compliance.
Under the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), companies under Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (FOCI) cannot hold facility security clearances unless FOCI has been effectively mitigated through a NISPOM-approved agreement. We have over 30 years of experience in negotiating effective FOCI mitigation arrangements, both in the context of foreign acquisitions of cleared contractors and obtaining facility security clearances for foreign-owned US companies. In fact, our lawyers assisted in the development of the FOCI mitigation arrangements now widely used by the US government, have assisted in government training programs, and drafted an American Bar Association monograph on the CFIUS and FOCI processes. We regularly work with key US government decision-makers to help craft successful FOCI mitigation programs. Over the past quarter century, we have been involved in negotiating and implementing a significant majority of the FOCI mitigation agreements approved by the US government—more than all other law firms combined. In particular, Kaye Scholer has helped establish numerous Special Security Agreements, Proxy Agreements, Security Control Agreements and FOCI Board Resolutions, including for some of America's largest defense contractors.
We also have advised a multitude of foreign and foreign-owned companies on regulatory and legislative matters, and represent a broad range of international companies and their US affiliates on compliance issues, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and US export control laws (including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), as well as trade sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)). In particular, we have successfully represented numerous companies in voluntary disclosures before the US Departments of State and Commerce, and also have assisted clients in a wide variety of export compliance matters, including securing export licenses and Technical Assistance Agreements, preparing commodity jurisdiction requests and meeting ITAR registration requirements. We also perform comprehensive due diligence reviews and assessments in conjunction with new acquisitions.

Career Values in Mexico, 1963 (ICPSR 7058)
Principal Investigator(s): Kahl, Joseph
This is the second of two studies conducted by the principal investigator concerning career patterns and values in Latin American countries (see also CAREER VALUES IN BRAZIL, 1960 [ICPSR 7042]). The present study was carried out in 1963 in both urban and rural areas of Mexico. The variables assessed the respondents' occupations at the time they were interviewed, the length of their employment, what they liked most and least about their jobs, and their incomes. Further questions explored past occupations, the highest level of education attained, and the extent to which lack of education had handicapped respondents' careers. A major portion of the study probed the respondents' feelings about the nature of jobs and people: the importance of ambition and determination in one's job, individual versus group interests, how best to "get ahead," the importance of family ties, the tendency to trust others, and corruption in urban centers. A number of recodes and derived measures are included. Demographic information covers age, marital status, number of children, religion, and father's occupation.

Every year on July Fourth, America celebrates its birthday and its independence.
Too often the holiday slips by in a dizzying blur of spectacular fireworks and enjoyable barbecues that, while certainly celebratory, do not convey the deeper meaning of the July Fourth holiday.
Try these alternative ways to mark the Fourth of July respectfully, including ways to teach the holiday's importance to your children.
Visit A Local Cemetery: Cemetery custodians will be happy to point you in the right direction. This simple gesture of kindness for those who gave their lives for this country costs very little, but means a lot.
Call Your Local Military Base: Find out if they are accepting care packages for soldiers stationed overseas. One small box packed with items most of us take for granted, such as shaving cream or candy, is a precious commodity overseas, and can let a soldier know just how much you appreciate his or her sacrifice. Again, this is an idea that costs very little, but will mean a lot. To take this to a larger scale, contact others in your community and organize a larger donation. Every care package helps.
Visit A Historical Site: On July Fourth of every year, according to Monticello.org, Thomas Jefferson's home hosts one of its biggest attractions: the Independence Day Celebration and Naturalization Ceremony. Soon to be sworn-in American citizens take their oaths on Monticello's vast West Lawn.
Throw A Patriotic Potluck: If you want to host a party, why not a red-white-and-blue-themed potluck? Chances are great that not only have you never done this, none of your friends or neighbors have ever attended a party like this, either. All the food must be in the colors of the American flag.
Teach Your Kids About The Day Go with them to your local library to check out books about the heroes who fought for our country. Take them with you to the parade, or to the cemetery to place flowers on a soldier's grave, and explain to them the concept of fighting for something bigger than themselves. Many Web sites, such as FamilyFun.go.com and apples4theteacher.com, offer all sorts of history-based educational activities, from crafts and jigsaw puzzles to coloring pages and word searches. Doing these with your children makes for family bonding and an educational Fourth of July.
Regardless of how you celebrate, it is important to stop and think about what Independence Day means. Though it may mean something different to every person, the key is to do something to commemorate the occasion meaningfully. Trying something new doesn't have to be a bad thing. In addition to your typical barbecue or fireworks celebration, these ideas are a wonderful place to start.

Vt. town's road signs stolenMay 13,2013THETFORD Officials in a small Vermont town say more than half the towns road signs have been stolen over the past few months.
Thetford Public Works Director Scott Knowlton said 50 of the towns aluminum signs identifying the names of roads have been pilfered, possibly for to sell as scrap metal, but none of the towns traffic signs have been stolen.

Police Chief Jim Lanctot said the thefts could potentially cause problems for emergency response vehicles responding to calls and for out-of-towners who arent familiar with the town.MORE IN This Just In

Movin' in the classroom
Bon Secours Virginia Health System recently unveiled its "movin' mania" program – designed to address childhood obesity – at Montrose Elementary in Eastern Henrico, one of a number of local schools that will employ the program.
Bon Secours will donate $120,000 to 115 schools in Henrico, Hanover, Chesterfield and Richmond to fund SOL-compliant movin' mania Learnercise mats, which encourage learning while moving. Teachers will track students' physical activity on the mats at http://www.movinmania.com, where students can earn points for healthy choices and redeem them for prizes, such as sports equipment.
"Finding a way to integrate movement into the core curriculum daily is a challenge," said Dana Baldacci, principal of Montrose Elementary. "We are thrilled to partner with Bon Secours to give our teachers an additional resource to increase both academic achievement and fitness."

In January DD would nurse at least every hour including the night. Not for too long but still checking in.
This Sunday she went from nap time till bedtime without even asking to nurse! And I've noticed that in the last few weeks she hasn't really been nursing late afternoons or evenings until bed time. She is only nursing 3 or 4 times a night now that her teeth aren't bothering her, too.
She is 20 mos old so it's not like she's a little baby, but does this sound pretty normal for her age? I haven't done anything to try to get her to nurse less, no pacifiers, if I ask her to wait a few minutes because I'm cooking or something I then offer to nurse in the chair with her not just hope she forgets about it.
My goal was at least 2 years so this is probably good that she's down to 8-10 times in 24 hrs by now?
Thanks for any ideas/opinions. I'm not trying to wean her now, but it seems like she is cutting back all on her own. I just want some reassurance that it is OK and she is old enough to be doing this, it doesn't mean she doesn't need me anymore or that our nursing is almost done.

- outstanding craftmanship by Lance on 12/5/2015
This willow tree nativity set captures the very essence of the first Christmas night in Bethlehem. I have also purchased the three wise men to go with the nativity. I love looking at the set on my end table and plan on leaving it up year round. The colors are simple earth tones that go very well with my home décor. The craftsmanship of this collection is outstanding and the price I felt was very reasonable for a set of this quality. I plan on purchasing other pieces such as the sheltering and stable animals to go with the set later down the road. The willow tree collection is a simple design that adds to any décor. A beautiful reminder of the birth of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, God's greatest gift to the world. I highly recommend this set to anyone.

Retired car dealer James Pfleuger and his son Alan were indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury for tax fraud.
The senior Pflueger, 84, could face up to 21 years in federal prison if he's convicted. His son Alan, 43, faces a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison, although federal prosecutors said those maximum sentences are unlikely for the two businessmen without criminal records.
The indictment claimed James Pflueger tried to hide assets from the Internal Revenue Service at a time when he was being sued for the Kaloko Dam disaster on Kauai, which killed seven people. James Pflueger faces a manslaughter trial for the Kauai deaths in state court that's still pending.
The indictment charged James Pflueger defrauded the IRS by filing tax returns for three years that did not accurately reflect his income. His federal tax returns reported that he earned $707,871 in 2004 and $4.8 million in 2007. The indictment claimed he "received income in addition to the total income reported," but it did detail how much more money Pflueger made those years.
His son Charles Alan Pflueger, who is called Alan, now owns the family Honda auto dealership at the corner of Bishop and Beretania Streets downtown. The indictment charged him with filing three years worth of false tax returns.
The indictment charged the younger Pflueger received "substantial income in addition to" the $695,724 reflected on his IRS returns for 2005, $241,114 for the year 2004 and $198,213 in 2003. But federal prosecutors did not detail how much more money the younger Pflueger received.
Alan's attorney David Scheper spoke to KITV 4 News from Los Angeles, and said his client will be vindicated.
"We are of course deeply disturbed and disappointed by the IRS' decision to prosecute this case as a criminal case, rather than resolving this as they should have through the audit process," Scheper said.
The indictment also claimed James Pflueger set up a trust in the Cook Islands -- located in the South Pacific -- to hide money from the sale of property in California in 2007.
"Proceeds from that sale of the California property went to the trust account which was located in Switzerland. Mr. Pflueger is also charged with not disclosing the existence of that account to the federal government," said Clare Connors, an assistant U.S. attorney in Honolulu who is prosecuting the case.
The indictment also charged the car dealership, Pflueger Incorporated, improperly paid $87,000 worth of personal expenses to Alan and James Pflueger and others, including other members of the Pflueger family who were not named in the indictment.
"Those expenses were deducted as business expenses by Pflueger Inc., and therefore that reduced the liability that Pflueger Inc. had to the IRS," Connors said, noting the recipients of the expenses also did not disclose that income on their tax returns.
James Pflueger's attorney, Steven Toscher from Los Angeles, denied he'd done anything wrong.
"If there were any errors in the tax returns, and I'm not saying there are, if there were, there are errors or good-faith mistakes. Mr. Pflueger has always dealt with his taxes in good faith. We simply think the indictment is erroneous," Toscher said. "He committed no crime and we plan to show that."
"I believed up until a week ago that the government would not bring criminal charges," Toscher said, noting that the Pfluegers became aware of the tax investigation in 2008.
He said he has presented defenses to the federal government for each one of the charges in the indictment as part of an administrative investigation, before the case went criminal.
The U.S. Department of Justice also charged Pflueger Inc. Chief Financial Officer Randall Ken Kurata, Charles Alan Pflueger's executive assistant Julie Ann Kam and California resident Dennis Lawrence Duban, the Pflueger's accountant, on conspiracy charges.
Federal prosecutors said Kurata filed a false corporate tax return for the company that included payment for personal expenses for the Pflueger family that were deducted as business expenses.
"If these professionals made any mistakes, Alan is confident that they were unintentional and simply the product of human error, and not part of any criminal conspiracy. Moreover, we feel not only that we will win this case but are confident that at the end of the day the IRS will owe Alan a refund," Alan Pflueger's attorney Scheper said.
In state court, James Pflueger still faces seven counts of manslaughter in connection to the Ka Loko Dam failure in 2006.
He is accused of being reckless in the way he modified the Kaloko Reservoir, which he owns. A torrent of water poured from the reservoir, killing seven people downstream after a heavy rainstorm.
Last fall, James Pflueger settled civil lawsuits against him in connection with the deaths. The settlement amount was not released.
Pflueger also agreed to pay a $7.5 million settlement for violating federal clean water laws. It is the largest storm water settlement for violations by one landowner at a single site in U.S. history.

From Marlins to Road Trip with a Baby to Cardinals
The Dodgers salvaged one game from the three game series with the Marlins and now we start a four game series with St. Louis.
Saturday night, our closer Jonathan Broxton picked up his 7th win! Broxton has the 3rd most wins in the Team! Casey Blake delivered a single in the 9th inning to give the Dodgers their 10th walkoff this year!!. The team had 8 last year
Sunday, Jason Schmidt did not fair well. an error by Furcal did not help and Weaver did not have it. I was so rooting for Schmidt to do better. I believe that Joe Torre will give Schmidt one more start and if he does not do well, that will be it for Schmidt.
Sunday when I got to my seat, there was a nice couple holding a baby and being interviewed by a local TV station next to my seats. I told them to stay there as I jumped over and gave them room for their interview. I was curious when I saw their baby girl with a pink bib and pink hat reading "30 ballparks and a baby." Baby Sophia is so adorable!! as you can see in the picture below.
I missed getting Judy. Isn't baby Sofia adorable?
Look at baby Sofia's bracelets.
You can check their website at www.30ballparksandababy.com. Buena suerte Judy, Roberto and Sofia! It was a big pleasure meeting the three of you. God bless you and keep the three of you safe!
My Dodgers are at St Louis for a four game series. I was in St Louis a few years back when the Dodgers lost all four games BUT this is a much improved team so Go Dodgers!
I am going to check if any of my good friends that are big Cardinal fans in this picture are going to any of the games. I know Linda and I wish we were back in St Louis this week so that we can improve on that 0-4 record.
I just found out my friend Amy from ITD will be going to tomorrow's game.
Let's go Dodgers, Let's go!!

The Cubs could use some Dodger help. You guys kicked them out of the playoffs last year, how about helping them get back in this year? All you have to do it sweep the Cards. Piece of cake! You can do it!
I checked out that website. Very cute.
I wish we would have but today's game was so f r u s t r a t i n g!! I know I wrote a thread about Wolf not getting any run support and it is still the same way. The guy pitched great, goes out losing 1-2. I tell you, Fox gets no respect.
Thanks for the congrats! Awesome blog you have here! It's a secret but the Dodgers is my favorite Cali team! xoxo http://diamondgirl55.mlblogs.com
Nice job, and good the Dodgers weren't swept by the Marlins. Now it's time to take on the Cardinals. Dodgers are on a roll nowadays. Hopefully since the Cardinals are struggling, you'll keep them that way going there.

Cardinal people are AWESOME people. Glad you have some for friends… and I'm glad we started out the right way by winning game one of the series.
Thanks! And regarding the Dodgers, you have good taste🙂. I have to go back to your blog and see why 55. I like that number as that is the year the Brooklyn Dodgers won the W.S.
the Dodgers have such a bad record against the Cardinals. We are the ony team that has not lost 3 in a row ::crosses fingers and toes:::
I have to agree with that! the Cardinal people I have met are awwwsome! agh, don't remind me of yesterday's game.
Good luck with the Cardinals! & Thank you so much🙂 I love your blog, btw. Even though I'm not a fan of the Dodgers, I love these colors! http://tribechick.mlblogs.com/ -TC
We need all the luck we can muster. Maybe like Cerrano in the movie Major League , we can sacrifice a live chicken. Just kidding!
Well we started the series against the Cardinals very bad. Dodgers need to focus. 2nd half of the season is tougher and we need our Boys to keep up the great job. GOOOOOO DODGERS!
yeah …we started bad even though El Lobo pitched well. Tough luck for El Lobo. He and the Dodgers need to shake off the loss and like you said focus. Concentrense Doyers! and r e l a x . . . . r e l a x…. GOOOOO DOYERS!
Yo know Rosie, I need to get me one those t-shirts that say "Doyers" I hear they have them in the Alley. I have not been there in years!
We weren't quite as dramatic as needing a walk-off last night, but we had to rely on a pinch-hit grand salami to see off the
Rockies. Let's hope this gets our season up and running again.Ashhttps://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com
30 Ballparks and a Baby… sounds awesome! Interesting how your closer has the third most wins on the team!
"30 Ballparks and a Baby" sounds like a great family comedy on the Disney Channel! Very cute. Good luck with the series against the Cardinals. Even though the Dodgers lost last night, it should be a good one between two good teams.
When I click on your blog, i get message "internet explorer cannot display…" I see what is wrong, you have an "s" after http.
You are back!! Baby Sofia from 30 ballpaks has already seen more ballparks than I have! Yes, is unbelievable that our closer has the 3rd most wins! 7-0. another of our guys in the bully is 4-0.
Hopefully Billz gets number #11 tonight. He better go more than 6 innings. Our bully has been oversued.
you always have such great ideas! I was just saying the t-shirt "Los Doyers" that I see fans wearing every once in a while but I like "ARRIVA LOS DOYERS!" You should submit your ideas or do a do it yourself . It could be your kiddy money to go see Los Doyers. i love the idea also of one of the rookies wearing trensas with a tipical Mexican dress for the rookie hazing.
That would be a great shirt to wear…ARRIVAS LOS DOYERS!
What a lucky baby! I'd love to visit 30 ball parks in 30 days!!
BTW, I love the short name, I forget who at ITD started calling you that. i want a shirt like that!
yes, lucky baby. She is such a happy baby. by the time she is old enough to travel on her own, there might be more parks that have been replaced by others so could add more parks. Hopefully Fenway and Dodger Stadium are still around as beautiful as they are now.
My name varies…MsRussy, Rose, Rosie, MsRussyEthier, Dodgersrule1655 (my original bloggers name). But yeah I like Ms.Russy…it kinda sounds like someone mispronounce my name Ms. Rosie….LOL. But I like claiming both my Martinista status and my Ethieraholism status….LOL! I will respond to ethier one. Hey but you know what??? GREAT IDEA…bedazzled a shirt with Ms. Russy and one with Ms. Ethier….LOVE IT. I just need a bedazzler! My birth name is ROSIE…and it is not short for anything. It is just ROSIE. I use ROSE, cause I love roses, and pink is my favorite color (but I THINK BLUE!).
Your Martinista status got you that baseball! You could bedazzle a shirt with Ms. Ethier on one side and Ms. Russy on the other side.
Thanks for the commenting. In regards to your question about Dusty, I don't really have too high of an opinion on him, mostly due to how he seems to pick "favorites" and with a young team, that doesn't play out too well in terms of getting guys playing time.
==But that couple with the baby was at on of the games (in Cincinnati) I was at earlier this summer (saw them on the Jumbotron, and they were featured on the news). Before then, I hadn't heard of their trip across the country, visiting all the ballparks and everything. It sounds like a pretty cool trip.
Sometimes a good player does not make a good manager. He seems like he over abuses pitchers. So you saw the 30 ballparks and a baby family! Yeah, I saw that they have the writeup in their website. Their next park is San Diego.
Because he is your fav, I am glad you ended up with his baseball. I bet you voted foor him a lot when he made the All-Star in San Francisco. I was at the bar next to the ballpark (could not get tickets) and boy those Giant fans refused to root for him . Because Grady Litte's wife saw me carrying a box full of votes for Russell and she knew I had taken another box the week before, she gave me a Dodger handbag made by her daughter in law. She included a nice note thanking me . She was really nice.
Tough loss today. very frustrating. Well, I'll check that website you included.
Hi Emma,
For those who don't know me I'm the girl 2nd from the right. I can't believe we have won any games from you guys. I was dreading this series. The pitching on both sides has been awesome. I think we have really improved our line up. We were desperate for some hitters to protect Albert. My nephew went to Mondays game and I'm taking my niece in law to tomorrows game. I hope we win but I can't see us taking 3 games from you guys. You have Kershaw on the mound tomorrow who as you know is awesome. We have Piniero who has done pretty good this year. We really need to win with how tight our division is. I wish we had the lead you all have. You know I love you guys but I have to cheer for my Cardinals. Wish you were here. Miss you a bunch. Us Cardinal Dodger gals know how to have a good time. Good luck to your boys in blue after our series.lol
Hey Stlred82!
Long time no talk to you girl! Did you read that I said based on who I have met, St Louis people are awwwsome! I was afraid of this series but today was a nightmare for us. What is your record when you go? You know I love you too but I hope Mr. Sunshine(Kershy) has a gooood game. Good luck to the Cardinals AFTER we leave. Wish I was there! but I think my next trip is to AZ.
I did see what you said about STL people. You know we love you too! I haven't kept track of my record but it is pretty good. I can only remember a couple of losses when we go. We have seen a lot more wins. Hope that continues. You guys have been awesome this year. I will just be happy with a split but I really like it when they win when I go to the games. Your boys will be fine. I can't see anyone catching you. We took back first place tonight but only by 1/2 a game. Our division is making me crazy.
Yeah the Cardinal record against the Dodgers is like the Dodgers against the Reds. We just do so terrible there. I am still looking for the split!! so Go Dodgers! Go Kershaw! Have a good time STL, BUT AFTER the game!🙂
Emma: This is a nice blog. I'm a Yankee fan, but I like the Dodgers because of Joe Torre. They have a great team, the best in the majors! I like that Andre Ethier guy, he's really cute🙂 If our teams meet in the World Series, that would be interesting. I would be sad if the Yankees lost, but honored to lose to Torre. We have a lot in common. We are both CRAZY for our teams! I'm glad that I'm not the only one who takes notes🙂 Baby Sofia is too cute! I wish your team luck. Adios amiga! -from Virginia.
Thanks Virginia! as of now, Dodgers have a 62-38 and the Yankees a 61-39 so your team is right behind us! I would love to see Joe Torre and the Dodgers battle the Yankees in a W.S. and I would try to go to Yankee Stadium. I was there last year to say good bye to the old Yankee Stadium. Sofia behaved beautiful at the stadium. Hasta la vista amiga. -Emma

March 4, 2011—North Central College's Concert Choir will embark on its first-ever European concert tour March 16-24. Some 36 students of the nearly 60-voice mixed choir have raised their own financial support and will participate in the American Celebration of Music tour to various sites in Italy.
Directed by Professor of Music Jeordano Martínez, the Concert Choir will sing during Catholic masses at St. Peter's Basilica at Vatican City in Rome and at St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, and at concerts in Florence, Venice and Siena.
"We've traveled all over the United States, but never Europe," says Martínez, a Naperville resident. "We decided a year ago to sing and tour in Italy. Our talented students are really excited about performing in such historical venues, especially the Vatican."
Martínez noted that the choir will sing in historic cathedral venues, which have organs for accompaniment. The choir's piano accompanist David Schmitz, who is associate professor of mathematics at North Central, is also very proficient on the organ. "David not only knows mathematics," says Martínez, "but he studied organ throughout his four years as an undergraduate student at Notre Dame and will accompany us in these grand cathedrals. Without him on organ, this tour would not have been possible."
When the choir isn't performing or rehearsing, it plans to tour many historical sites, from the Roman Forum, Coliseum and Pantheon in Rome to St. Mark's Square in Venice and the Ponte Vecchio and Academy of Fine Arts in Florence.
Martínez has been director of the Concert Choir and choral activities at North Central College for 24 years. He leads the Opera Workshop, teaches courses in music history and literature, and is music director for the College's musical theatre productions. Martínez has been recognized on two occasions by the College for distinguished teaching with the Teacher of the Year awards. He's also conductor of the Naperville Chorus, a 125-voice College-community oratorio chorus.
The Concert Choir will give a preview performance in Naperville of the repertoire they plan to sing in Italy. The concert will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 13, in North Central's Wentz Concert Hall at the Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave. Tickets are $5/adults, $3/students and senior citizens; call 630-637-SHOW (7469) or visit northcentralcollege.edu/showtix.

Knocked down but not out by "this person"
Take a look at my blog. It's all gone.
Every entry I have written since spring training, vanished.
Eighty entries I think was my last count.
My blog was hacked today. Everything erased.
The entire video diary of my son and I's spring and summer completely wiped out.
My Blog, which I was having so much fun with..It's just not there. The nly thing this person left was my profile picture and bio. Geez thanks.
I logged in when I got home from the Rockies game today ready to blog and my blog was empty. I logged in to check my rockpileranter email..Password changed.
I figured I should check my facebook page, yahoo account…same thing…barred from entering it…Somebody is messing with me. Here's the deal though, I know exactly who it is. I have since changed my email to firstname.lastname@example.com. ..this is my good email now.
I was having a online conversation with a northerner a few weeks back about the Mobile Blogging Unit, when finally the person typed a few more questions than I was willing to type answers to.
I politely told him that I didn't care to discuss any more details at this time.
That person stopped talking to me right then, then he immediatly removed me as a facebook friend. I guess for some strange jealous reason my non-disclosure of specific details upset him. Apparently a lot more than I thought.
I didn't understand his actions at the time. I had sent this person several ticket stubs, some from the Rockies playoff run last year. A Nuggets backstage pass and a few season tickets from last year.
Not high end stuff, but stuff he collected and I thought he would appreciate. I asked for absolutly nothing in return. It wasn't a big deal to me. It's my choice how much information I choose do disclose about the MBU and the person was being a wee bit too nosey.
We all know how this person likes to "borrow" other peoples ideas.
Hacking a persons identity is illegal and destroying someones work is just plain fuc**d up. This person literally destroyed over 250+ hours of blog entrys.
Thankfully he didn't delete the pictures and video.
I'm still in shock. I put my heart and soul and a lot of hours into my blog and I felt like I was doing a good job.
Some people are so insecure they have to steal others creativity and ideas. Me, I love originality.
I either want my blog restored or I want him to apoligize and resign from MLBLOGS.com forever. He doesn't deserve to blog his sneggin stories here..anymore.
I had the best pictures for a blog tonight…
Today is a sad day…
It was autograph Sunday today too..D.
10/13/08 Update. I removed the Canadian references that were scattered throughout this blog and replaced them with "this person". My parents are Canadian and my mom said it was mean…D
4 Comments
Wow. That's all I can say. I never thought "the Canadian" would stoop so low. I mean, I knew he was a little a-hole, but damn. This is rough. I hope you pursue legal action, because he deserves that.
Hey Don, I looked over the stuff you emailed me, email me back so we can get started on what we have to do next. Since it is a different country, we have to go about things a little differently. Also, give me your work # too just in case I have to call you there. Thanks, Jim
Yikes. Don, heading into work now and will look into this when I'm there, will see what data storage capabilities there are. – Mark
Don, I just commented on Zack Hample's blog about the hack (because at first I couldn't directly comment here–but I got it to work). I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that. I've only had my blog for a couple of months but I'd be horrified if all my data was gone. Thanks to your story I've started backing up all my entries. And it seems like you may get your information back (praise to MLBlogs). I hope so. We all do… and the silver lining is now you have more readers! Good luck to you, Don.

The dog days of summer are upon us. That serves as a reminder that the hurricane season is not so far away. TxDot is putting up the new signs to indicate the evacuation routes. Some years this season brings very strong winds and heavy rain. It can be a mixed blessing. This could be a new experience to a great many new residents. Check out the warning system in your part of the county.
What tastes better this time of the year than home grown tomatoes, okra and squash with a big piece of hot buttered corn bread and watermelon for dessert. The first ever Karnes County Market Days is just a few days away, on Aug. 17 on the spacious Otto Kaiser Hospital grounds beginning at 9 a.m. We already have a good number of participants, but there is plenty of room for more. We have a great food truck for breakfast and lunch, farmers with fresh produce, farm crafts, birdhouses, boutique items and lots of bling, scarfs, and hats.
Have you noticed how fat the dove are this year? Lonesome Dove Fest is coming up soon. Seems that the Eagle Ford Shale activity has brought about a consolidation of habitats and therefore bird counts. If you have land to lease please let us know at the chamber office, 830-780-3112. We just need a contact name and number and we will gladly pass it on to our callers.
Something is going on over at the KC City Park. Looks like work on the Flag Garden is taking shape. Thanks Lillian for your persistence, your dream is becoming a reality. And thank you Don, our city manager for guiding the activity all over our town.

Water quantity and in-stream water quality will be enhanced through implementation of the approved conservation practices listed.
Funding will be available to eligible landowners through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). NRCS will provide financial assistance for a variety of conservation practices for the purpose of reducing the amount of nutrient runoff and soil erosion associated with agricultural production. Land and producer eligibility, adjusted gross income, and all other program criteria for participation must be met to participate in this initiative. Agricultural lands are eligible for enrollment in the initiative.

What happened to "not posting for a month"? lol
You're just trolling now son...
BD is NOT going be healthy anytime soon. He will probally won't ready until March. If we go another month without quality PG, we might else well tank the season make sure we get keep our top 5 pick(top protected from Houston). We can trade for S.Curry type PG without loosing any players. Thier no SG or PG worse drafting with top 5 pick next yr. Plan A superstar PG. PLan B MDA PG. Plan C young star PG.
PLAN A at this point D-will value is higher melo so might need to add Shump
Dwill Morrow Stevenson for Shump Melo Balkman BEST OPTION
D-will Morrow Fields Stat Chandller
Lin Stevenson Walker Jeffries Wallace
PLAN B Douglas won't land CBA players, must move Shumpert
Shumpert Balkman Douglas for Dragic T.Williams
Dragic Fields Melo Stat Chandler
Lin T-Will Jeffries Wallace
PLAN C Wait until March 1 at the deadline trade
Chandler for Curry Biedrins
Curry Fields Melo Stat Biedrins
Lin Shumpert Walker Jorts Wallace

WE LOST! But being that you education only comes reading forums you didn't understand what I said. I will make purposal, I won't put any trade ideas if we ever reach .500. I was diappointed with Shumpert defense 2nd 1/2. In fact I was disappointed for our coach and our gameplan. With Deng and Ripp out, you man up on 3 player Boozer/Gibson, Watson and Korver. When anybody outside those few players are not in you double Rose, Despite Rose being the best player in the league, not even he explode a team 4 on 5 the whole game. If used that strategy the whole game we would not chasing them from behind, they would be chasing us and forcing bad shots. That game plan worked for the sixers, I saw the game.
3 players who cost the game in 2nd half was:
Jeffries missing open shots and driving to basket. 4th quarter twice
We need Jorts back
Balkman driving the ball 2nd half
Novak shouold of been their
DOuglas TO 4th (3 TOs 4 for the game)
Lin should of been playin
all this is reflection of coaches game plan, if your open shoot or drive. He does teach role players their role.
There is a trade forum section on this site (it may have even been created in your honour). I suggest you use it and stop posting in the general discussion area.
and from what I can remember.....
"We win nobody questions my trade idea for a month
We loose I won't put another trade idea for month
I still think we won't go anywhere without changes, but I feel good about this game
knicks fans win either way"

TakManThere is a trade forum section on this site (it may have even been created in your honour). I suggest you use it and stop posting in the general discussion area.
don't reply or tell me what to do tekman,
if you having nothing positive or negative to respond in regard to my post don't respond, ignore me
for you tell me where to post, is bad as our coaching. Nobody respects you or listening. now if you can argue what you don't like about my trade idea I will consider and respect that. And you better do better messing with Chemistry b/c at 8-14 their is no chemistry! 11 seed in the weaker conference with 3 stars players is so freakin sad. It seems like you have no ideas of your own so you want $hit on mine. as they say in Canada f@ckoff ha
Can we please just team up the best pick-and-roll PG in the league with two of the best pick-and-roll finishers in the league and go compete for a championship? Let go. This team is not going to ever win a championship with the current roster. No matter who you put at coach.
Melo + Shumpert + Douglas for DWill + Morrow + Farmar
DWill is averaging 20.5 pts and 8.5 assists this year with hardly any good finishers and under Avery Johnson's slowed down system. He made Boozer an All-Star. Can you imagine what he would do with Amare and Chandler?
Morrow is averaging 13.6 pts on 43% 3-pt shooting. The kind of shooter you need to create spacing for the pick-and-roll to run most effectively. And finally Jordan Farmar as the backup PG we desperately need.
meloformayor, you got that I will live up to word. No trade idea until March 1. But that at the deadline & at the deadline I have field day with ideas. LOL
but i will still post here trash the current roster and coach when I see something I don't like.
But your right and im wrong no trade posting until March 1
Doesn't matter. We're not making the playoffs with this team.

The Trip to the SeaElizabeth Willis '13 | June 4, 2010
The drive from Thessaloniki to Kefalonia, an island in the Ionion Sea just off the coast of the Peloponese, started with a slight hiccup! I was supposed to get a ferry on June 1st from Lefkada to Kefalonia, but due to bad weather in the morning, all ferry services were canceled for the day–even though when I arrived it was bright and sunny. So, I managed to break up my long journey and enjoy the beautiful scenery and sunny, warm weather of Lefkada.
Arriving in Kefalonia at 10am on June 2nd, I made my may to Kateleios and the environmental center I would be working at. The beaches I passed were beautiful; glittering waves crashed on the shore, the landscape was clear and the people I passed were happy. I immediately felt at home and comfortable with my surroundings, and this feeling was fortified when I met my colleagues.
There are people from all over. The leader of the project is Italian and there are people working here on the project from New Zealand, Canada, Finland, Switzerland, USA, England, Ireland, Scotland and Germany. we have had a few false crawls onto the beaches, where mother turtles come up to nest but get scared away by noise, light or smells or don't like the spot they've exited. We hope to see a nest very soon, within the next few days at least because there has been a lot of turtle activity.
There is a lot of work involved, with a lot of physical exercise but it is definitely rewarding. I should have some pictures up soon, and some more detail on the shifts that we do and what is involved!

How intricate can the stats be?
For example, and I'm sure it's impossible but wanna throw it out there, if a member of your fantasy team hits a game winner.
I'm seriously gonna have to have a thorough go through with all the rules and so forth.
Can we please get a run down, Metro?
Is it possible to set FG% brackets?
eg: -35% or less FGs equates to a 3 point penalty. -30% or less equates to a 5 point penalty, 25% FGs 7 point deduction and so on.
I can't stand the Paul Pierce's of this world that crank their stats by playing to the refs, either. So if someone like him has a poor shooting night but still gets 20-24 points out of acting and ***** play, penalize them.
All in favor....
There's no FG% category. Sorry guys.
Didn't we use FGA at -0.5 to make this happen last year? That way you gain 1.5pt for FGM and 2pt for 3PM, plus a few more points for the PTS.
I prefer it that way, giving points for FGM and Points doesn't take into account poor volume shooting at all, doesn't punish you when your player shoots 30%.
I don't know but this scoring seems way different to last year? Maybe I'm wrong though. Would be nice to hear from isayugh what we had last year.

Srry I've been aboard and mad busy, so haven't been able to check in much....but, ya, idk exact details on last year (i'd havta look it up to be 100% precise), but we did have something that equated to FG%; like Smoke mentioned, there was a penalization for essentially taking a shot and not making it (per the example in Smoke's post).
It's a pretty huge thing. In last years league, there was a very big premium on efficiency -- guys who could drop 10-14 a night, with high efficiency, while collecting boards, blocks, etc, were very very valuable.
A guy like Kobe was still very good -- as even a night where he only shoots 30%, will still give a ton of points if he's still scoring a ****load.....but, a high volume scorer couldn't just beast while shooting 30%.
Rest of the scoring looks same as last yr to me.
^ if you get time to check it out could you post the exact scoring system? I tried to find it but can't seem to access last years league in any way shape or form on yahoo website.
Gotta get these kinda things pinned down with ~1 week to go until the draft!
Also maybe the old regulars in here can tell me what's going on with all the homo loving this offseason?! Never seen so much green since my summer in the 'Dam.
There's some damn, homospastic, tomfoolery afoot..
Crazy or Cool Clyde can shed light on this.
It's about that time everyone learns about the Starmelo group.

Draft is on 10/19 at 8:00PM right? I don't know if you guys knew that, but the Knicks are scheduled to play the Raptors that day, the game starts at 7:00PM... isn't it handy to reschedule the draft to 6:00PM?
Here's how I'd do the shooting scoring system
-.5 for a FGA
+1.5 for a FGM
+2.5 for a 3PM
so if they miss you lose .5, they make a 2 you get 1.5 in your FGM and still -.5 for FGA and if its a 3 -.5 for FGA and +2.5 for 3PM and 1.5 for FGM
also if you lose a point for fouling shouldn't you get a point for being fouled

September 20, 2012 —
The hamlet that has been hit by repeated flooding over the past decade was hit again on September 18, as torrential rains moved through the area. This time it was Cattail Creek coming down from Shandelee mountain that caused the problems. Two homes in Livingston Manor were rendered unlivable, and others were seriously damaged.
The raging water also knocked out three bridges, but according to Town of Rockland supervisor Ed Weitmann, one bridge was re-opened by Wednesday evening, so that residents of 10 houses that had been stranded then had a way out.
Road crews were working on the bridges on Thursday, while debris was still scattered in lawns by the creek. Weitman said one of the reasons the flood was so damaging was because of the eighty or ninety trees that were swept down from the mountain, and blocked the water from going under the bridge. "If the water can't go under the bridge," he said, it will go somewhere else."
No one was injured.

schmooze: to talk idly or casually in a friendly way.
Almost everybody assumes that conferences are solely for attending lectures and increasing your knowledge on a particular topic; knowledge is power. However, conferences are much more than that; I go to stir the pot, make connections, cause decisions and commitments to be made that will generate long-term benefits--it's whom you know that counts.
This article is a how-to with a twist of lemon; instead of solving one of those really neat technical puzzles that you're so used to reading, I'm going to show how you can meet and talk with absolutely anybody at OSCON so you can come away with more than just the warm, fuzzy feeling you have after the chance meeting of a celebrity.
When it comes to approaching strangers, the schmoozer is as fearless and gregarious as they come. He is always on the move; he quite literally never stays put in one spot. He can cover a keynote speech, a BOF, and a tutorial, and work an exhibition booth, all in the space of a few hours. The schmoozer goes to parties and socials and plies his trade in such unusual places as the elevator or a hotel hallway. The schmoozer constantly scans crowds looking for worthy people to speak with. He looks for the technically adept and zeros in on people who love to gab about what they do well. He is attracted to large crowds of energetic people. He frequents those locations and times where conference participants are themselves at rest or relaxing such as breaks between sessions or, more commonly, visits to the exhibition hall. Although the best time is in the morning, when everybody is fresh, the schmoozer is a 24-hour creature of hustle and bustle
The first order of business is to research OSCON and identify events of interest. Start by going to the OSCON site, and read up on everything, including keynotes, sessions, tutorials, and BOFs. Review the events and identify the speakers and their subjects. You'll learn a lot by reviewing the comments and blogs from earlier conferences. Another good source of information is the OSCON newsletter.
It's good to gravitate toward those events that pique your interest, but remember, the schmoozer's goal is to connect with the people who go to those events too.
Identify speakers and individuals of singular achievement. Go to their web sites to learn more about them. A vanity search on Google can yield illuminating information about these people, too.
Except for the celebrities, it's almost impossible to decide beforehand which specific people you want to meet. You should instead identify the kind of people you want to meet. For example, if you're an open source developer, meet your own peer group of developers, including those from other, similar projects. Perhaps a PostgreSQL developer should hobnob with MySQL people.
It's important that you do an inventory of your own qualities and intentions. Ask yourself:
Reflect on how you will represent yourself at the conference. It may sound stupid, but you should stand in front of a mirror and rehearse how you will introduce yourself to people. Develop more than one way of introduction, because you will be meeting people with a range of expertise, ability, personality, and prior history with you. The secret to a good first meeting is to be comfortable with yourself. People respect those who respect themselves.
Tour the conference and exhibition floors before you start working so that you understand the layout. Identify the local watering holes and the locations of the snack and coffee services. Visit the different conference halls to understand how people will flow in and out of the various venues. Finally, find out where the parties will be.
One of the first and best things you can do is to introduce yourself to the organizers. A simple hello and glad-that-I'm-here type of introduction suffices. Because these people move at Mach 1, you're doing them a favor by keeping the introductions short and sweet. What you want to do is simply plant the knowledge of your existence in the back of their head. As a rule, organizers appreciate people who can make connections because it enhances the conference experience for all the participants. Doing a good job of schmoozing will get you noticed and earn you dividends down the road.
Effective schmoozing isn't about shaking hands with your idol, but rather the ability to introduce yourself to an individual and come away with a commitment. A seasoned schmoozer can identify a person of interest and make first contact within a matter of seconds. Golden opportunities happen more often than you think. The trick is recognizing them as they occur.
The schmoozer can act in one of three ways with a person of interest:
The schmoozer can forward his own personal agenda.
Depending on his status--the greater it is, the smaller the margin of error--you will have about 20 seconds to make your introduction and pitch. Always start out by introducing yourself with your business card, your name, and a firm but brief handshake. During this time, most of the talking is from you. If you've made a good impression and there's genuine interest on his part, you will have an additional two minutes. In that case, the conversation is more balanced: half of the conversation will be from you, and half from him. Don't let the conversation go on for more than five minutes unless he wants to. However the conversation progresses, be sincere and brief when you thank him for his time, and don't forget to get his business card!
The schmoozer can identify the person of interest and offer to support his agenda.
Offering to help him holds the promise of an opportunity for you later on. This approach is contingent on a number of issues, such as your knowledge of his agenda and the impression you give him of your own competency and skills. Again, be brief and to the point. The same rule of 20 seconds and two minutes still holds in this case. This scenario carries more risk, but it can yield great reward because you're giving him something he needs. Even if you fail, you still have a good chance of making a favorable impression because he knows you have tried.
The schmoozer introduces himself.
There will be times that you will want to meet somebody for no reason other than ordinary desire. Maybe you have a gut instinct, or maybe you're just a fan. In any case, don't pretend with trumped-up stories. Just tell him to his face what you feel, and say it sincerely, but do it in 20 seconds only. Sometimes this will lead to something else. Remember, after this first meeting, there's always a next time.
What happens when you want to schmooze at your exhibition booth? Actually, you can do it, but the techniques are very different from those mentioned already. In this case, it's a team effort rather than the actions of a single person that guarantees success. I wrote an article about schmoozing at exhibition booths for Software Research Associates. It details our successes running the PostgreSQL booth at Linux World Boston in February of this year.
There are two halves to this whole. The first is what you do at the conference; the second is what you do afterward. Effective schmoozing is about making and keeping contacts. The key to keeping your connections is maintaining a state of constant communication, including instant messages, email, mailing lists, phone calls, and of course conferences. Defining the frequency and nature of the communication is too complex to cover in one article. I suggest instead that you enroll in the master's in psychology program at your local university. Suffice to say that you should always measure your response and consider every single communication before initiating it.
Successful schmoozing depends on many factors:
Beware the following faux pas:
You'll know you're a good schmoozer when you find yourself being approached by total strangers and they want to schmooze you, imitation being the purest form of flattery.
Conferences, like OSCON, provide a meeting environment for like-minded individuals. Great conferences are those places at which a person takes away more than he came with. Sure, they can be a great excuse for a party, but that's the method and not the reason for going. Being a good schmoozer benefits not only yourself but also those whom you network with. In the end, everybody benefits, because you've added value to the conference itself.
Be seeing you.
