20 Stadiums in 20 Days – Tropicana Field
After a three year break for no real reason from visiting stadiums, we started back up in August 2005 by taking a vacation to St. Petersburg, Florida. While there, we planned on visiting Tropicana Field, among other things.
Oh wait. That's not Tropicana Field. That's the beach at Fort DeSoto Park. Okay, so it's not baseball, but we went to the beach too, and I thought it was a good picture.
It's important to note at this point that between our last stadium trip to Toronto, and this one, my photography entered the digital age. Therefore, I took way more pictures than before, so I have many to choose from for including here.
On August 20, 2005, we made our way to the Trop, home of the Devil Rays. Remember, the Devil hadn't been exorcised from the team yet!🙂
Ah yes, more palm trees. I love palm trees! If they would grow in Pennsylvania I'd surround my house with them. Oops, sorry I got off track there. Back to the game.
First off, I was actually glad that the Trop is a domed stadium. Florida in August (and probably the rest of the summer, for that matter) is hot, and very humid. After sweating like pigs at some Florida State League (single A) games, we welcomed the air-conditioned environment of the Trop.
The Devil Rays in 2005 were, to put it mildly, not very good. Consequently, the crowds were usually pretty small. This day, however, drew almost twice as many people as the night before, 19,041 vs. 10,188, mostly because there was some sort of Christian music concert prior to the game, and many of the attendees stayed for the game as well.
Our seats were way up in the upper level, directly behind home plate. Not only were they cheap, they offered a great view of the entire field.
My husband sometimes prefers these seats over ones closer to the field, as from this vantage point you can watch the entire play unfolding below.
The pitching matchup for tonight featured Joaquin Benoit for the Texas Rangers, and in his first full season, Scott Kazmir for the Rays.
A 2-run homer by Jorge Cantu would help give Kazmir a 4-1 lead in 6 innings of work. The lone run he gave up was on a solo shot by Gary Matthews, Jr. In the 9th, Danys Baez would give up another solo homer to Alfonso Soriano to make it 4-2, but would hold on for the save. Benoit took the loss for the Rangers.
On our way out after the game, we saw this along the concourse – a giant player crashing through the wall.
Interestingly, there is another giant player on the outside of the stadium. Not sure what it is about these giant players. Too bad they couldn't have come down off the wall to help the team to a few more wins!
We made a return visit to the Trop in 2008, on June 22. Amazingly, Tropicana Field had not changed its name in the interim (unlike the three most recent stadiums I've written about)! The team, however, had changed its name. Gone was the Devil, and with a new name came a new logo and new uniform colors.
On this particular day, the Rays were celebrating their mascot Raymond's birthday. Multiple mascots were milling around the main entry rotunda. My daughter, who loves mascots, was in her glory, wanting a picture with each of them. Here she is with the birthday boy:
Since we were there really early, we had plenty of time to wander around and check out the rays touch tank in center field.
Not sure why my daughter looks rather unhappy. Anyway, the tank is filled with lots of these guys, leisurely swimming by and waiting to be touched:
After we were done with the rays, we went back to our seats. This time we decided to try an outfield view. We noticed a single yellow seat amid a sea of blue ones a few rows in front of us, and wondered what it signified. It turned out to mark the location of the first home run hit in (Devil) Rays history, by Wade Boggs, on March 31, 1998. So of course I made my kids sit next to it so I could take a picture.
The Rays were hosting the Houston Astros this day, with Brandon Backe pitching for the Astros, and Scott Kazmir (once again) for the Rays. The Rays jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on a 2-run homer by Evan Longoria in the second inning (on this swing!).
Unfortunately, the lead would not hold up, as Kazmir then proceeded to give up three runs, all coming on long balls. Hunter Pence hit a solo shot in the 5th, and Carlos Lee added a 2-run homer in the 6th. There would be no further scoring, as Houston held on for the 3-2 victory.
You'll notice in the above pictures that my son decided he needed a Rays cap while at the game. Of course, we are Phillies fans. Little did we know at the time that the Phillies and Rays would be meeting in October. On the day of Game 1, he decided to wear his Rays cap to school, along with his Cole Hamels jersey. Unable to pick sides, I guess.
As we were leaving after the game, we noticed that the sun had come out. During the game, there were some brutal thunderstorms going on outside – again, glad we were in the dome. I think this is one of the prettiest walkways at a stadium that I have seen. And of course, there are palm trees!
Join me next time, when we visit PNC Park.

You should go back to the Trop now that the team is doing well, Sue. It's more fun with actual people in it! You don't have to hear every single whistle and catcall. Love the pics of your kids. They're adorable. I hope they enjoyed the trip as much as you did. FL is such a great place to visit.
The outside of the rotunda now has a mural of four of the Rays top players as you come into the stadium now. It is much like the mural that the team put on the office/clubhouse building down in Port Charlotte this year.
I hope you had the pleasure of having, or at least smelling some of the food in the right field concourse. The smell of the meatloaf, ribs and aplle cobbler can take your breath away.
Also something that is great fun is the " St Pete Times" photo booth where you can get a photo to commemorate the event .
I hope the kids got to feed the rays, it is actually kind of cool to let them take the food from your hand.
Jane is right. The vibe and the energy is extremely different in 2008. I was the guy wearing the Backe jersey in right field that day down by the foul pole. He is one of the guy I miss on this team who would have gotten a kick out of winning. But then he was already in t World Series and pitched a 1-hitter to the Cardinals.
Rays Renegade
I love going to Florida – haven't been to the Trop – but it looks like you all had a great time!
Wow, the kids look just like you! Not that this should be unusual, but the resemblance is very strong. My daughter loves the mascots too…many years ago, she told me she knew it was just a guy in a suit but asked if it was ok that she pretended it was real anyway. I told her it was fine it was more fun for her…kids. Funny!
Sue…wow…Scott was pitching both games. :0)
Your daughter looks like she's in heaven with Raymond! Has she met the Phanatic yet? Glad you had fun down there both times!
Don't even get me started on the weather in Florida. I HATE it. It was already 92 (and humid) a few days ago. Anyway, I've only been to the Trop once and I have to admit, it's pretty nice. I went in September of this past year. That bridge that you go over right before is pretty wild (it's so tall!!!). That's a cool story behind the yellow seats, but Wade Boggs… not a name that my family really likes. My dad just gets a look with bad feelings behind it and just starts shaking his head. Nice picture of the beach too.
You know, it's weird. I live in Florida and I haven't been to the beach in over a year!
the only thing is the yellow seat is the spot where Wade Boggs hit his 3000th hit, though it was not the first home run in Rays history he was the first person to ever hit a home run for his 3000th hit.
I love the rays

Obama Romney Other Undecided
LVs 47% 48% 1% 4%
Dem (42%) 88% 7% 1% 4%
Rep (33%) 3% 92% - 5%
Ind (25%) 37% 57% 2% 4%
(Excerpt) Read more at americanresearchgroup.com ...
Look at the lead with independents.
My apologies if already posted. I looked but didn't find it.
Not gonna be close.
and this is with a D+9 sample....wow..
You have got to be shi**ing me. D+9??? Really? Really? They had to skew that to show it even close.
I don't know if you saw this one already.
Now I'm optimistic about FL and OH, I wish more data would come out from VA. With the three of them, it's any other state and bye bye Zero!
I know you've been following early returns for Ohio closely. Comparing to 2008, and looking at current numbers for early ballots, does D+9 sound remotely reasonable in Ohio? Ds at 42%?
20 point lead among Independents.
Ready the party balloons!
Unless this is an outlier or things change dramatically in the next 30 days when the desperate dems go "Full Mormon" this thing's over.
Romney's internals must be looking damn good. Did anybody catch his foreign policy speech yesterday in Virginia? He sounded and acted like he was the president already. Winning presidential candidates tend to do that - they get the swagger and confidence. What a difference from candidate McCain of four years ago!
"20 point lead among Independents."
I wonder whether the ratio of D/R/I isn't a little low on the I's, to minimize the effect of that number.
If the D/R/I ratio were 37/33/30 (still leaving a Democrat advantage of +4), by itself, that would put Gov. Romney at 50%, and the Kenyan anti-Christ at 45%.
Which would be a lead outside the margin of error.
There is still a lot of time left in this election. Romney/Ryan just can't let up, and neither can we.
These polls make me feel good, but I don't want to get too confident. Romney needs to stay on the offensive and squash Obama in the next 2 debates. Same with Ryan on Thursday, which I'm confident about.
Heard a DBM commentator recently talk about how much the party is depending on BiteMe's performance Thursday. No, they're not kidding!
Quick, alert security, Andrew Sullivan has crawled out on the ledge again.
D+9 is ridiculous for OH. If you're looking at 08, you might claim it was +3 to +5. But 2010 you'd probably be closer to +2 R.
Sir? Mr. President? David, get Valerie! He's zoned out again!"
When only a Presidential "Face Palm" will suffice.
oHIo...Pray "let it be so!"
Rush just mentioned our numbers on his show.
We're seeing huge margins for Governor Romney among independents is all the polling. There's no way he's up like this with indies in a close race. No way!
Creating a Giant Tsunami that will sweep Obama and his minions into the dustbin of history.
I think the American people have finally got it:
Romney wants to kill Big Bird
Obama wants to kill them all.
LOL. "The Full Mormon"-—do they bring out the Southpark guys?
I saw him in Newport News yesterday afternoon...in the pouring rain. The guy is very impressive. It was my first chance to see him up close and personal, even shared a few words with him, and I came away very impressed.
Is it true that Romney has to win Ohio or he loses? I have heard that bandied about at times. Just wondering.
I agree with you. You don't win a 20-point margin with indies and not win the election convincingly.
I just want to take a pill and go to bed and wake up on election day! These next three weeks are going to be nerve wracking! Fun too, it seems.
Hot diggity! I thought Romney killed Obama in the debate, but this looks like absolute overkill if it's true.
I never would have believed that Romney could be up by this much during the primary.
My concern with these new poll numbers is Dems are using it to spread the word that today is the last day to register to vote. It's been all over Chicago radio the past few days. I had heard registration was down 225,000 in Chicago over 2008. Are they using it this way anywhere else?
It's not mathematically impossible to win without Ohio, but it is a serious deficit that would have to be made up elsewhere.
Last time Ohio was won by the loser was when Nixon won the state in 1960.
Thank you for the response.
Romney will win Ohio by 5 or more points. I can already see the panic from Ohio Dems they are in full panic mode that Obama will lose Ohio
"I can already see the panic from Ohio Dems they are in full panic mode that Obama will lose Ohio"
Where are you seeing this?
I follow this girl on facebook(Had no idea at the time I added her what a far left kook she is) she is on permanent disability(She says she has lupus) but every single day she is volunteering at Obama's campaign office in Mason, Ohio(So I guess she isn't that disabled after all if she can constantly go out and campaign for him) but any who, even now she is posting how she needs everyone to go out and vote for Obama, how urgent it is..and yesterday she posted a photo of the campaign office and NO ONE was there..not a single person
Rove says there are several routes. OTOH FOX just had a a prof on from CO who said it's going to be a land slide for Romney. On Meg Kelly program..... DIdnt catch his name.
Cool!! Thanks for the update.
Not to put too fine a point on it but Romney only said he wants to take Big Bird off govt welfare ... not kill him. BB will do fine on its own. Merchandise sells $50 million
per year.
Virtually, yes. Technically no.
I mean without OH, he'd need to flip a state "lefter" than Ohio, like PA, MI, or WI, in most scenarios.
Romney leading by 1 in a poll that is D+9 = Romney is kicking Obama's ass.
"Romney is kicking Obamas ass."
Hope you're right.
Woo hoo! Thanks for the ping.
That picture of him is gayness.
I can probably imagine what he's seeing in his mind, but I'd throw up a little...

Using gentle convection heating and UV light, this is the compact cleaner that dries and sanitizes hearing aids to extend their life and enable clear hearing. Unlike most cleaners that use expensive, disposable desiccants, this environmentally friendly restorer requires no chemicals to remove the moisture and germs that can damage or impede the fit of a hearing aid or cochlear implant processor. While evaporative 113� F air circulates within the sealed chamber, two safe UV lights destroy any bacteria. The device can be programmed for 2-, 4- or 8-hour cleaning periods, and it shuts off automatically when restoration is complete. It holds two pairs of hearing aids or processors, with a magnetic strip to safely store removable batteries. Made from shatterproof polycarbonate plastic, the lightweight restorer is travel-friendly, comes with a universal AC adapter (100-240 volt, 50/60 Hz), and includes a battery tester. The magnetic lid is easy to open, even for those with arthritis. Plugs into AC. 5 3/4" L x 3 1/2" W x 2" D. (1 lb.)

(Springfield) Culminating two years of work with
members of the education community, the State Board of
Education Thursday authorized State Superintendent of
Education Robert Schiller to finalize a contract with
an assessment contractor that will develop and score new
tests to be implemented next school year.
The Request for Sealed Proposals was released last August,
and since that time the State Board has been negotiating
with three bidders that would implement the Illinois Enhanced
Assessment System. Schiller will work toward finalizing
a contract with Harcourt Assessment, Inc., which has been
determined to be the most qualified bidder to develop
and score the new tests.
Changes to state assessment mandated under the No Child
Left Behind Act, made it necessary to update the Illinois
Standardized Achievement Test (ISAT) and the Prairie State
Achievement Exam (PSAE). The mandate provided the State
Board with the opportunity to work with members of the
education community in Illinois and together create the
frameworks for the subjects to be assessed, to improve
the reporting of data to and to enhance the delivery of
data to school districts.
We are confident that the new assessments will
represent the needs of the educational community in Illinois,
Schiller said. This has been an involved process
with input from many teachers and administrators in Illinois,
especially the people who served on our Accountability
and Assessment Task Force and committed countless hours
of time and effort to ensure that the new assessments
will be a win-win for school districts statewide.
In April the State Board of Education and the Assessment
and Accountability Task Force were presented with the
proposals by the three assessment contractors. Last month,
the State Board passed a resolution, which requested input
from the Governors office before finalizing a test
contract. The State Board determined that recent substantive
changes to state law and budget cuts affecting the subjects
assessed by the state did not result in substantial and
material changes in the RFSP. The Governors office
agreed in writing that ISBE should move forward with the
contract negotiations.
The contract is expected to run from the 2005-2006 school
year through the 2007-2008 school year. The amount of
the contract awarded and its specifications will not be
released until it is finalized, however, Schiller assured
State Board members that they can expect improvements
in the areas of return of Report Card Information and
timelier notifications of Adequate Yearly Progress status.
Currently the ISAT measures individual student achievement
relative to the Illinois Learning Standards. The results
give parents, teachers, and schools one measure of student
learning and school performance. In the 2004-2004 school
year students in grades 3, 5, and 8 will take the ISAT
in reading and mathematics. Students in grades 4 and 7
will take the ISAT in science.
Beginning in the 2005-2006 school year the enhanced ISAT
will be expanded to include assessment of students in
grades 3 through 8 in reading and mathematics, while those
students in grades 4 and 7 will continue to be assessed
in science.
The PSAE measures the achievement of grade 11 students
relative to the Illinois Learning Standards for reading,
mathematics, and science, and will not be expanded to
include additional grades.

text: The March schedule looks deadly lol, but to be honest IND, & Philly don't impress me at all. Lets not forget no HUGE changes were made on neither of those teams roasters they've had the advantage over alot of teams in the NBA since the start of the season due to them having the chemistry from the start, the shortened preseason hardly had an affect on them. Im not surprised their ranked where there at now and i wont be surprised if there ranks DROP. Its half way into the season now and teams are beginning to come together... Neither IND or Philly are winning as much games as they were earlier on in the season.

For immediate release
Finalists for State Teacher of Year Announced
(Springfield, Ill.) Twelve exemplary educators representing urban and rural districts across the state have been selected as finalists in the 30th Annual Illinois Teacher of the Year program. State Superintendent of Education Robert E. Schiller released the finalists names Friday from among nearly 300 educators nominated through the Those Who Excel educator awards program.
Providing outstanding education requires outstanding teachers, Schiller said. Illinois is fortunate to have so many exemplary educators. Our Those Who Excel program provides us with the opportunity to honor their outstanding contributions to the education of Illinois children.
Nearly 300 nominations were reviewed this year by a selection committee comprised of 62 volunteer administrators, teachers, school board members, representatives from educational service personnel, student support personnel, parent/teacher organizations and former Teachers of the Year.
Each nomination is individually reviewed and scored three times. Nominations are scored on:
The scores are then compiled and averaged to determine the level of recognition. Nominees may be eligible to receive awards of Excellence, Merit, Recognition, or a Certificate of Appreciation.
Teachers scoring at the Award of Excellence level become finalists for the Illinois Teacher of the Year. Following scoring and notifications, each finalist is interviewed on videotape about educational issues and personal philosophy. The interviews are reviewed by a group of former Illinois Teachers of the Year who narrow the field to the top two or three teachers. The top candidates nominations and tapes are submitted to the State Superintendent who makes the final decision.
Illinois 2005 Teacher of the Year will be announced during the Those Who Excel awards banquet April 17, 2004, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Springfield. The winner represents Illinois at NASA Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama and in the National Teacher of the Year program sponsored by the Council of Chief State School Officers and Scholastic, Inc.
The 2004 Illinois Teacher of the Year is David Morrison who teaches music at Prospect High School in Mt. Prospect (Township High School District 214).
Illinois Teacher of the Year Finalists
Nominations for Those Who Excel are made by administrators, teachers, parents, students, or any person who knows an outstanding educator. Nominations for the 2006 Those Who Excel/Illinois Teacher of the Year program will be distributed in October.

Winter epilogue
By RICHARD A. ROSS
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — March came in with a mighty roar in the high school sports championship cavalcade. Lions revel in their pride and now so do the 18-1 Lady Bears of Tri-Valley, who won their first-ever Section 9 championship by defeating Millbrook 40-27 in the Class C finals on March 6 at SUNY New Paltz.
Led by senior standout Jakki Pugh's 17 points, the Lady Bears overcame early jitters to outscore the Lady Blazers 13-2 in the second quarter and maintain their dominance from then on. Pugh is the lone returnee from last year's team that suffered a devastating defeat to Tuxedo in the finals. With a new coach in John Tenbus and a cadre of youngsters to teach and encourage, Pugh vowed to give it one more try. The win was the zenith to date of a storybook run. Tri-Valley got nine points from freshman Kaitlynn Greffrath. Millbrook had downed Eldred in the semifinal 44-34 to advance to the final, a game most believed would feature the Lady Yellow Jackets and the Lady Bears for their third clash of the year. Tri-Valley is ranked seventh in the state and took on fourth-ranked Haldane from Section 1 in a regional game on March 8.
On March 7 in the Class D finals, Sullivan County's other two remaining teams, the Livingston Manor/Roscoe girls and the Livingston Manor boys got set to play the defending champion teams from John A. Coleman Catholic. In the girls fray, Marissa Diescher scored 30 of her team's eventual 34 points, as the Lady Wildcats headed into the fourth quarter with the game tied at 28. Coleman, which has four Class A transfer students on its squad, got hot and outscored LM/R 16-6 to earn its fourth consecutive title. Diescher and many of her teammates, along with coach Kevin Clifford, will now eschew the basketball in favor of a softball, as the Lady Wildcats venture forth to defend their state title. Manor/Roscoe finished up at 15-5.
The dominant Coleman boys used their size, speed and experience, that included a loss in last year's finals at Glens Falls, to run away from Manor in the second half on the way to their fifth consecutive title by dint of a 58-37 win over the Wildcats.
Manor (17-5) was paced by junior Mike Mills, who had four threes on his way to a team-high 14 points.
Last week, Monticello was eliminated in a brutal 80-75 overtime semifinal loss to Cornwall. Leading by four with just over a minute left in regulation, Monticello was victimized by a pair of threes from Cornwall sophomore Zach Bouton that sandwiched a bucket by Kenny Sanders Jr. that had tied the game at 64 all. Juan Peña's desperation three at the buzzer rimmed out. Monticello reduced a seven-point OT deficit to one with 14.5 seconds but a floor-length inbounds pass and a Cornwall layup ended the season for the senior-laden fifth-seeded Monties, who exited at 12-8. Cornwall lost to Red Hook in the Class A finals.
County kids excel at indoor track states: At the state indoor track championships staged at Cornell University on March 5, Liberty's Jessica Dunnigan was 11th in the long jump (17-0.75) and 13th in the 55 (7.42). Sullivan West's Rachel Deppa was 10th in the 1500 racewalk (7:45.21). Monticello's Shane Jackson was 9th in the 300 (36.14) and 20th in the 55 (6.6.) Eldred's Hunter Proscia ran in the 11th place intersectional relay that finished with a time of 9:15.27.
Alpine skiing championship results: Drew Billard (SW) was 40th overall in 2:01.53. Ryan Heins (Mont) was 51st in 2:11.11. Haley Ripa (Mont) was 36th, in 2:09.39.

Leaders from just about every country in Latin America, as well as Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and a small delegation from the U.S., turned out for the funeral of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. NBC's Mark Potter reports.
More than two dozen world leaders bid farewell Friday to the late Hugo Chavez at a lengthy, emotional funeral where the Rev. Jesse Jackson portrayed the Venezuelan president as a hero of the poor, while pushing for the nation's rapprochement with the United States.
"How do we measure a great leader? By how he treats the least of these," Jackson said in his eulogy, standing before Chavez's flag-draped coffin at the military academy in Caracas. "Hugo fed the hungry. He lifted the poor. He raised their hopes. He helped them realize their dreams."
He called for the leaders of the United States and Venezuela to meet and resolve tensions that deepened during the 14-year tenure of Chavez who regularly ranted against "imperialist" America.
"We pray God today that you will heal the breach between the U.S. and Venezuela," Jackson said. "While it may be politically difficult, it's the morally right thing to do."
Jackson was joined at the service by row after row of dark-suited heads of state – including Cuban President Raul Castro and Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Movie star Sean Penn appeared — a testament to the socialist showman's Hollywood appeal.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. talks with actor Sean Penn during the funeral for Venezuela's late President Hugo Chavez.
Chavez, 58, died Tuesday after a nearly two-year battle with a mystery cancer that had him shuttling between Cuba and Venezuela for treatment and prevented him from being sworn in for a fourth term.
His send-off has been rich in pageantry. It started with a six-mile funeral procession through mobbed streets Wednesday, after which his body was placed in the military academy, where it will remain for a week before it's put on permanent display at a museum.
At the funeral, four Presidential Guard soldiers in red dress uniforms festooned with gold braid flanked his casket near a huge photo of the ex-paratrooper in his trademark green uniform and red beret.
Fittingly for a man who sang and danced on his weekly TV show, Chavez's funeral was full of music, including folk tunes from a congressman in a cowboy hat.
Chavez's hand-picked successor, Vice President Nicolas Maduro, placed a golden sword on the casket — a symbol of Latin American revolutionary Simon Bolivar, who inspired the late president's philosophy and politics.
Maduro was slated to be sworn in as interim president Friday, ahead of an election to be held within 30 days — news that immediately sparked controversy.
The opposition said it would boycott the swearing-in, insisting the speaker of the National Assembly — and not Maduro, who will be running for president — should fill the temporary opening.
Jackson told the crowd Venezuelans could be thankful for an "orderly transition."
"With Maduro, grant him wisdom and support as he keeps hopes and dreams alive, as he picks up the baton and makes a great nation greater," he said in his sermon.
Maduro, who last week accused the United States of causing Chavez's illness, had a message for Washington: "We love all the people of our America, but we want relations of respect, of cooperation, of true peace."
Maduro did most of the speaking at the service, his thunderous voice cracking at times.

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad pays tribute to late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, during the funeral service at the Military Academy in Caracas.
"Here you are commander with your men, standing, all your men and women, loyal as we swore before you, loyal until beyond death," he shouted. "We have smashed the curse of betrayal of the country and we will smash the curse of defeat and regression."
The United States was represented at the funeral by two Democratic politicians — Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., and former Massachusetts Congressman William Delahunt.
"My deepest sympathies go out to the family of President Chavez and the people of Venezuela," Meeks said in a statement.
"Venezuela is an important nation to the Western Hemisphere. I remain committed to building the relationship between our nations. As always, I stand in continued support of the Venezuelan people especially at this time of mourning."
After the funeral, Ahmadinejad spoke on state-run television and said he had come to pay tribute to a man of the people who would be remembered as a "historic and global figure."
"He was able to raise the profile of and put Venezuela on the global stage," the Iranian leader said.
In the wealthier neighborhoods of Caracas there were few tears for Chavez, who was disliked by some for his economic policies and polarizing politics.
"This is a big joke," Eduardo Perez, a 44-year-old lawyer, told the Associated Press, referring to the extended funeral. "I feel ridiculous as a Venezuelan."

Here, for example, is Emily DickinsonŌĆÖs little-known ŌĆ£This World Is Not ConclusionŌĆØ in which the poet rejects religion but seems to affirm faith:
Faith slips ŌĆö and laughs, and rallies ŌĆö
Blushes, if any see ŌĆö
Plucks at a twig of Evidence ŌĆö
And asks a Vane, the way ŌĆö
Much gesture, from pulpit ŌĆö
Strong Hallelujahs roll ŌĆö
Narcotics cannot still the Tooth
That nibbles at the soul ŌĆö
Richard Forster, the poet who comments on this poem, states that only a few of DickinsonŌĆÖs poems make the popular anthologies, yet DickinsonŌĆÖs collected works include nearly 1,700 poems. Foster also points out that DickinsonŌĆÖs own biographers have overlooked this poem. As a result, ŌĆ£The World Is Not ConclusionŌĆØ may seem almost new to us, an exciting prospect for all who love verse.
Other poets appear in Dark Horses whose unusual tinkering with verse may startle some readers. Dadaist Man RayŌĆÖs poem is actually a non-poem ( ŌĆö ŌĆö ŌĆö ŌĆö ŌĆö ŌĆö ŌĆö ) in which the title and the verse itself are simply heavy blank lines that appear to be drawn through words; proponent Dean Young reminds readers that ŌĆ£Man RayŌĆÖs poem endures with a frontal assault that makes the avant-garde pretensions of today seem like wormy appeals for tenure.ŌĆØ Tim Dlugos in ŌĆ£GilliganŌĆÖs IslandŌĆØ explores in a prose poem the connections between television, sex (particularly the feelings between The Professor and Ginger), the Kennedy assassination, and a boy engaged in solitary sexual pleasures. The poem entertains, as poet David Trinidad tells us, but he then goes on to point out the complexity of ŌĆ£GilliganŌĆÖs Island,ŌĆØ its many layers of meaning and of characterization, its mixture of entertainment, sex, and death.
Still other poems in this intriguing collection lead us to an appreciation of small things, the beauties of nature, the value of silence. Charlotte MewŌĆÖs lyrical ŌĆ£The Trees Are DownŌĆØ gives readers a chance to discover a lovely poem by a poet nearly unknown today, at least in the United States. Elizabeth Bishop, who on the other hand is well known indeed, a leading lady of many anthologies, appears here with ŌĆ£Poem,ŌĆØ in which Bishop brings to life a tiny countryside sketch once done by one of her uncles, who later became a well-known artist in England. ŌĆ£PoemŌĆØ is a simple piece, seemingly concerned with ŌĆ£munching cows,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£iris, crisp and shivering,ŌĆØ and ŌĆ£steel-gray storm clouds,ŌĆØ but the beauty lurking behind these images exerts a strong attraction on any reader fortunate enough to discover this poem.
Two qualities in particular set Dark Horses apart from other collections. First is the fervor with which Katz and Prufer set out to resuscitate certain poems for which they and other poets felt vast affection. In their introduction to the book, Katz and Prufer tell us how they sat one evening in an Italian restaurant in Kansas City discussing with three other poets the lesser known poems and out-of-print poets that they loved. Katz and Prufer then decided to approach 100 and ask them for their personal favorite unappreciated poets or poems. Of these, 67 responded. Katz and Prufer brought these responses together, amazed at how many wonderful poems were recommended by writers theyŌĆÖd never met. Given their chaotic collection methods, they decided that Dark Horses would be a kind of orchestrated clamor. Like our original conversation, the poems would be united by the ardor and enthusiasm of their promoters.
The work of many of these poets is so little known, and yet so clearly itŌĆÖs a part of the canon and makes Dark Horses unique. This ŌĆ£motley mix of screeds, personal stories, and more scholarly investigationsŌĆØ by the writers promoting beloved and neglected poems and poets demonstrates to doubters that contemporary poets, poets who still practice their craft with diligence and love, continue to read poetry themselves. On Naomi LizardŌĆÖs ŌĆ£In Answer to Your Query,ŌĆØ a delightful poem about how products or services, though still valued, cease to exist, Carolyn Kizer, who won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1985, writes that ŌĆ£these poems should not be allowed to be forgotten. They are truer than ever today ... WonŌĆÖt someone please reprint Ordinances? I know at least fifteen major poets who would leap at the chance to introduce it.ŌĆØ
A good part of contemporary poetryŌĆÖs failure to attract an audience has to do with the lack of craft in many poets and a surfeit of bad poetry. Many poets whose work appears in self-published chapbooks write awful stuff: ugly free verse, mawkish sentiments, verse dripping with tone-deaf confessions. The majority of poetry magazines today actually have more people submitting verse than they do readers. Some commentators on the miserable state of modern poetry blame readers for being poorly educated and so lacking the skill and training to enter the realm of modern verse. Others blame it on the poets themselves. A few attribute the diminished status of poetry to the influence of technology over the last 75 years: the abundance of popular music, the movies, the television, the computer.
Despite these obstacles, poets and readers of poetry still hold out hope that strong poetry will continue to be written and to find readers. In Dark Horses, both the poets and the poets who appear as their advocates give all who wish the best for poetry a real reason to hope that the best will be recognized and will live among us.

Yellowstone Bats and White-Nose Syndrome
The Yellowstone Park Foundation is funding a project to address a deadly threat to Yellowstone's bats
White-Nose Syndrome (WNS) is a disease that strikes hibernating bats. It is thought to be caused by a fungus* that disrupts hibernation, and causes bats to deplete their crucial body reserves needed to survive over the winter.
WNS has decimated bat populations in several states in the eastern U.S. and is moving westward. Biologists believe it is only a matter of time until it reaches Yellowstone.
To address the risk of WNS in Yellowstone's ten bat species, the Yellowstone Park Foundation is funding a monitoring program for the early detection of White-Nose Syndrome in the park. The project will also include the development of a longer-term plan to conserve bats in the future.
The study uses sound recordings, remote cameras, and radio transmitters. The researchers use these tools to track bat activity, estimate the number of bats at known roost sites, identify migratory behavior, and determine the location of hibernation sites in Yellowstone.
Bats are especially prone to extinction. Sadly, more than 50% of bat species in the U.S. are in severe decline or already listed as endangered. One reason is that mother bats produce just a single offspring each year, making it difficult for bat populations to rebound from disease outbreaks.
With your support, the Yellowstone Park Foundation can continue to fund this and other critical research programs and help ensure the survival of Yellowstone's native species.
Learn more about Yellowstone wildlife research, conservation, and education projects funded by the Yellowstone Park Foundation.
*UPDATE 10/27/11: New research by the U.S.G.S. and its partners confirms that the fungus, Geomyces destructions, is the cause of WNS. While scientists knew that the fungus caused the white noses on infected bats, they were not sure if the fungus was the cause or a symptom of the disease.

Hypopta agavis
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
Hypopta agavis, whose larvae are known in Spanish as chilocuil, chinicuil, or tecol, is a moth native to North America. Its larvae feed on the succulent leaves of the maguey, although they are not considered a plague, as they have been traditionally used as food in Mexican cuisine. The red-colored caterpillars are also known as gusanos rojos, giving its name to a popular brand of mezcal; they are one of the two kinds of "worms" placed in bottles of mezcal, giving a unique color and flavor to the drink. The other, less appreciated ones, are the larvae of the agave snout weevil, Scyphophorus acupunctatus.

Small Business Saturday slated
THING BIG, shop small.
That's the premise behind Small Business Saturday, being held this Saturday throughout the country.
Established by American Express in 2010, this is a day set aside to remember the smaller, locally owned businesses across the land and especially locally.
The Black Friday craze generally benefits larger, regional and national chain retailers the most.
A few days later, those that prefer to shop from the comforts of their easy chair participate in Cyber Monday.
Black Friday, the most anticipated shopping event of the Christmas sea son, generally features national and big-box retailers offering "doorbuster" deals that most smaller shops don't have the luxury of offering.
And in terms of Cyber Monday, most smaller businesses don't experience near the online sales or even site traffic of the larger retailers and online-based businesses.
Hence the need for Small Business Saturday.
In 2011, more than 100,000,000 participated in Small Business Saturday with an even greater number expected to 'shop small' this year.
The idea is simple. Hit all of your favorite, local stores and specialty shops. Fuel up at the independently-owned gas station. Unwind after a long day of 'shopping small' at one of the numerous local eateries that offer the kind of fare and atmosphere you can't get at the national chain restaurants.
Need another reason? Since most small businesses aren't a part of the insanity that is Black Friday, they still have unique and must-have items in-stock. Their shelves haven't been picked cleaned by ravenous morning-hour shoppers searching for the 'doorbuster' deals.
The pursuit of the perfect gift is made easy. Nothing says "I put some thought into your gift" quite like unwrapping an item not found at every national chain store located in a shopping mall or plaza.
So take your time, shop small and round out that Christmas list with some truly unique and sure to be appreciated items.
The Times Leader is joining in the celebration both today and Saturday by supporting local small businesses with a special advertising section in each day's paper.
Today's section can be located on Page C2.

Deeplinks Blog posts about DMCA Rulemaking
We at EFF think remix art is an important part of modern culture, one that helps ordinary people critique mass media and create new art that builds on media they love. This week we teamed up with the Organization for Transformative Works to help make sure remix continues to thrive.
The reach of copyright law has expanded so far that it now threatens people's ability to repair their own cars and protect them against malware. Yesterday, EFF launched a legal campaign to fend off that threat.
At a congressional hearing this morning, EFF Intellectual Property Director Corynne McSherry urged lawmakers to abandon the failed "anti-circumvention" provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)—provisions that harm researchers, innovators, and technology users of all kinds.
It's increasingly rare for Congress to actually pass bills into law, but Friday brought some good news from Capitol Hill: More than a year after the exemption covering phone unlocking expired and a White House petition on the topic collected some 114,000 signatures, a narrow bill offering a limited carve-out for consumers unlocking phones made its way to the President's desk to be signed into law.
The murky copyright situation surrounding phone unlocking could get a little bit clearer, thanks to the new and somewhat improved Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act, a bipartisan bill in the Senate.
As a refresher: the notion that phone unlocking might violate copyright law comes from an ill-conceived section of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that prevents the circumvention of technical measures around copyrighted works. If such measures are understood to include restrictions on phone software, then unlocking may violate the DMCA—an outcome Congress never intended.

Move It to Lose It
By Health Day
Patients with Type 2 diabetes often accumulate dangerous fat deposits around their vital organs. Diet modification and medication are prescribed to try to control the problem.
Now, there's news that moderate-intensity exercise can help target that troublesome fat.even when there's no change in a patient's daily menu.
Researchers in the Netherlands tracked the effects of exercise on organ-specific fat accumulation and heart function in a small group of patients with diabetes.
Each had an MRI before...and six months after starting an exercise program. All of the participants worked out for at least 3 and a half hours a week.
Although cardiac function was not affected, the exercise program led to a significant decrease in fat in the abdomen, liver and around the heart.... all of which are associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
The researchers say in the future they hope to use advanced imaging to predict which treatments may be most effective for individual patients with diabetes diet, medication, exercise, surgery or specific combinations.

I was very depressed when my DD was first born and so I stopped BF'ing right after she turned a month, she is 7.5 months now. I looked into relactating a while ago, but it's only recently that I've felt strong enough to really DO it!
I'd really appreciate some tips &/or experiences - how long should it take before I should start getting anything?... I have been dry this whole time & my DD has forgotten how to latch...
What kind of regime should I look at? If I am totally and utterly honest, I don't do well with waking up at night and highly doubt I will be able to wake myself to pump at night
What kind of herbal supplements work/dosages etc?

A New Zealand-based information technology company that provides technical support for factory automated systems is moving to Portales.
Tamaki Control specializes in automated systems such as milk pasteurization and monitoring and powder handling and packing for food processing factories.
The company was working on Southwest Cheese plant's automated systems when company founder Derek Turnbull decided to establish a U.S. branch in Portales.
"I can't help but notice there's a lot of factories around and there's no other automation companies around," he said. "It's a real good place to quietly get us established." he said.
The 20-year-old company has a branch in the United Kingdom. The Portales branch will be its second international branch and its first U.S. office.
Tamaki provides support for Glanbia and Fronterra, which are the parent companies of the Southwest Cheese plant and Dairy Concepts.
Turnbull said the company can install automated processes for older factories.
"You can always do tweaks just to get a little bit more product out for a little bit less energy, a little bit less water, a little bit less steam," he said. "That's the sort of stuff we do."
The company is located presently at the Roosevelt County Economic Development Corp. business incubator. Turnbull said he brought four engineers from New Zealand and plans to hire two more engineers from Eastern New Mexico University.
RCEDC Director Greg Fisher said his organization helped Tamaki with immigration paperwork it needed to establish a U.S. branch.
"They'll bring a very strong set of expertise in high-technology food processing … and good paying jobs for educated graduates of our area," he said. "We want to see them blossom into a much larger company."

Staff Reports
A Roosevelt County grand jury indicted a former Eastern New Mexico University student Wednesday on charges related to a recent bomb scare, according to 9th Judicial District Attorney Matt Chandler.
Joshua Gilpin, 28, was indicted on charges of possession of an explosive incendiary device, possession of marijuana, larceny and tampering with evidence.
Gilpin's sister, Emily Gilpin, said she was told by Roosevelt County officials her brother had a lawyer, but was not told a name of the attorney.
The state's public defender department for the 9th Judicial District declined to identify Gilpin's attorney.
Gilpin was arrested Nov. 2 hours after school officials evacuated an ENMU science building and recovered chemicals that — if combined — could be used to build an explosive device. Police believe Gilpin stole the chemicals and later returned them to the lab.
A day before his arrest in connection with the bomb scare, police discovered two marijuana plants in Gilpin's residence at 321 Juniper St. while conducting a welfare check. Police also seized a rifle, the police report said.
Emily Gilpin maintained that her brother is innocent.
Gilpin's arraignment, pre-trial and trial dates have not been set, Chandler said.

"Does she know what it's like down here in August?" they asked.
Theresa Keel does. In her 26 years in education she has worked in El Paso, Fort Worth, Plano, Denton, Sealy, Ingram, Anderson and Bandera.
Then she moved to Cordova, Alaska, on the mouth of the Copper River on the east side of Prince William Sound — population 2,500 in winter, double that in summer — accessible only by air for eight months out of the year.
"People who go into educational administration in small districts become migrant workers," she says, recounting all the places she has called home.
Keel became PISD superintendent on Aug. 11.
The district has been without a superintendent since the board forced Brian Thompson to resign Feb. 14.
After earning her master's in education administration from Texas Woman's University in Denton in 2002 and then a superintendent's certificate from Texas Tech, she worked as a teacher, a cheerleader coach, an assistant principal, a principal, a director of curriculum and a special programs director.
"I always found myself being pushed into leadership roles," she says, "and always wearing multiple hats."
Throughout her career, she has preferred smaller districts.
"I don't think I could ever go back to the big, monster districts where I started my career. I think you have more effect on children. There's greater opportunity to create student success."
Ready to become a superintendent, she applied for the post in Cordova.
She asked her husband, George, "How would you feel if they gave me a call?"
The district did.
The procedure by which the Cordova district picked a superintendent was opposite of how superintendents are chosen in Texas.
"It's all very public. The secrecy that surrounds superintendent searches in Texas does not exists in Alaska," she recalls. "I was interviewed with two other candidates. We actually stood on a stage while audience members asked questions. It was a packed house. They asked what they wanted to ask you. It was a unique experience."
Keel became superintendent; George became the chief of police.
"I thought I would live forever in Cordova," she says, even with its rain that is worse than in Seattle and summer temperatures normally in the 50s. "You will never hear me complain about the summer temperatures down here," she promises.
But, Cordova was a long way from her Texas family.
"You could Facetime with grandchildren, but they don't know you," she says. "Finally, it was just time to come back to Texas."
Being superintendent in Pettus, she says, "was a perfect fit. I'm a person of faith. When I went to Alaska, all the doors opened easily to get us there. Then, another door opened for us to come back, so we can be closer to family."
Keel has done her homework. She is aware of the tempestuous time when the board fired Thompson — a move that poured salt into an already festering social wound that politically split the Pettus community.
Choosing her words carefully, she says, "We need to heal those wounds and move forward. We have a road ahead of us here. School business is complex, and personalities in school business are complex. It has to be a perfect fit. I am glad I am the fit, and we want to approach it in a real positive manner."
Pettus students are in for a surprise when they start school Aug. 25. Keel plans to ride her motorcycle to work.
However, before that, there is a planned shopping trip for cotton sheets.
"Flannel sheets down here," she says, "just don't work."

Okay, bear with me.
I want to be clear that I don't impose any kind of schedule on M, this is just how she nurses. We nurse once in the morning before I leave for work, then I pump during the day (from 2-4 times, but more on that in a minute), then I nurse when we get home, then she goes to bed around 8. I get her up to nurse before I go to bed, usually between 9:30 and 10. Then she sleeps through the night :duck
I nurse on one side each time, since I had had so much trouble w/ oversupply and foremilk imbalance. So today's schedule might be: nurse on leftie at 6:30-7, 3-4 bottles @ daycare, nurse on rightie at 6:30-7PM, leftie at 9:30-10. Then the next day it would reverse, since rightie would have gone since 6:30p w/o being emptied.
The problem is that my left breast is so much better in terms of pumping output - which normally I wouldn't care about, except that now that my supply is dipping a little, I get 1-2 oz less on days when I start the day having nursed on the left. I'm already pumping 3x @ work now instead of 2, and one day this week I actually found time to pump a 4th time to get the full 14oz I need per day. I'd feel better with 16, but if I consistently get less than 14, I have to dip into my freezer stash more than I would like. If she were older (like 9 mos), I wouldn't worry so much, but she's only 6 mos and I feel as though it's too early to be regularly using freezer milk.
So my question is, do you think it would be ultimately too hard on my supply to always start the day nursing right, so that it would be R-L-R for my nursing? I don't get engorged (much) anymore, so I don't think it would be an issue from that standpoint.
