It Wasn't A Mirage
Yanks Take Finale to Win Series in the Desert
I've seen a lot of bizarre things on the baseball diamond before, but I think last night is worthy of the title of one of the most bizarre baseball games ever. I think the players weren't all their last night – on both sides. Last night's game was not played well, and was incredibly sloppy. I was beginning to think I was seeing things, but then I remembered that I wasn't the one in the desert. Nope, it wasn't a mirage. It wasn't a gorgeous win, but I'll take it. The Yankees won 6-5, and won the series.
Pitching Analysis: After watching and pitying Dontrelle Willis, who just could not throw a stike, it was Javy Vazquez's turn. I panicked, because he walked the leadoff man Kelly Johnson. I was beginning to worry, "Oh no! It's contagious! Javy has the virus! He can't throw strikes!" It was a pretty messy inning, but Javier did catch a break when the defense threw out a runner trying to score. Later on, with the bases loaded, he surrendered a 2-run single to Adam Laroche. That pest. He had 5 RBI last night.
Javier really struggled last night. He went just 5 innings, and allowed 4 runs on 6 hits. He really didn't have good stuff on the mound. But to his credit, he kept the Yankees in the game, and didn't unravel to the point of no return. He prevented the opposition from having the Big inning. And for that, Javy deserves a pat on the back.
Look at you…so cute😉
The bullpen did a lot of work last night, and most of it was done well. Damaso Marte allowed a run in te 6th, but it's not like they hit him. He kind of screwed himself up. Chris Young walked, moved to second on a balk, advanced to third on a wild pitch, and scored on a groundout. That gave the D-Backs a 5-4 lead.
The rest of the 'pen was fabulous: Joba, Robertson, and Mo. Oh, Mo! Mo, Mo, Mo…what else can we say about Mo? He's amazing.
Mariano knew what he was in for last night: 2 innings to pitch, and 1 shot at the plate. He tossed a 1-2-3 9th, and in the 10th, he got a chance to hit. That was pretty funny. He put a good swing on the ball, but grounded out. The best part was that the whole team was at leaning on the dugout railing, laughing and just having fun with it. I don't know how Mo focused at the plate with the whole team joking about him like that.
More importantly, I don't know how Mo focused in the 10th! It was a miracle…Stephen Drew led off with a single. Then Justin Upton doubled, and Miguel Montero was intentionally walked to load the bases with none out. NONE out. Yikes. But Mo stayed cool – he got Chris Young to pop out to Cervelli, and got the dangerous Adam Laroche to pop out to A-Rod. That left it up to Mark Reynolds: the guy that either strikes out, or goes deep. Like in the rest of the inning, I bravely watched through the tiny opening between my fingers as I covered the rest of my face. Reynolds tried, but there was no way he was going to hit The Great Mariano. With a valiant effort, Reynolds swung at that back door cutter, but came up empty. Strike three! Crisis averted! YANKEES WIN!
Oh, thank you Mariano!
Offensive Analysis: Despite being given 13 walks by D-back pitchers, the offense struggled. They could not take advantage of the Diamondback mistakes. Instead, they made mistakes of their own. The basepaths were not friendly to the Yankees last night. There were three baserunning blunders that I would rather not summarize. It was ugly.
As for the runs, the Yankees got one in the first on a Nick Swisher RBI single. A-Rod drew an RBI walk in the 2nd. But the Yankees failed to really put a rally together. Until the 6th.
In the 6th, my darling Francisco Cervelli led off with a double, and eventually scored on a Brett Gardner RBI groundout. Cutie Colin Curtis came off the bench to pinch hit for Javy Vazquez. Once again, Curtis hit the ball hard, almost knocking over Adam Laroche, for an game tying RBI single! That made it 4-4. The Yanks re-tied the game in the 9th, thanks to an sac fly by A-Rod.
In the 10th, I was beginning to get restless. I began to think about the longball as a quick way to score a run. Curtis Granderson stepped up to the plate. While he was up, I was looking through my notebook to see if the Yanks had a homer that game. It was such a long, stressful game, that I forgot. I didn't see any "HR!" in my notebook. Right when I realized this, I heard the crack of Grandy's bat. I looked up, and there it went! HOME RUN, CURTIS GRANDERSON! Why didn't I think this before? Whatever. The Yankees had a 6-5 lead, thanks to my sweet little Curtis. And that was the final score.
Thank you, Curtis!
A lot of things happened last night that I didn't believe. One of these was that the Yankees won! They didn't play particularly well, but hey: they played well enough. A win is a win is a win. I'll take it – especially since the Yankees gained a game on every team in the AL East! The heroes for this bizarre victory are Curtis Granderson for his clutch HR, and Mariano Rivera, for his miracle on the mound. He truly is amazing.

Bizarre is the perfect adjective to describe that game. Whew, so glad we were able to come out on top! Mo's cool under pressure is something I wish I had!
I like seeing that #42 on Mariano. To me is like an on going tribute to Jackie Robinson. It is hard to believe that he was already wearing it when the number was retired in all of baseball. Mo is ageless!
Hi, Virginia! I am glad to see you are continue to carry a torch for your Yankees. I think Mo is the MVP of the Yankees and has been for a long time. And you're right – Pap is no Mo.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I saw firsthand just how competitive the D-backs are. I saw them destroy you guys the other night. I was happy. Then they no-hit us tonight. I was sad. I have learned a lesson. Never root for the team you play in the next series no matter what. Sheesh.
As of today…I'd say you had a very good road trip. Sunday night's game was a bookmarker huh?
Hey Virginia! Do you remember me? Melissa, from Let's Go Red Sox? I just got back to blogging, and I'm glad to be back. (and out of school!!)
How's things been going with you?
It's a close race right now the for the AL crown, but we still have a good three months.

I was watching The Mindy Project last night on Hulu+ (Hulu+ sucks, I just happened to snag a 3-month freebie subscription and decided to try it, no way am I paying for commercials) and they kept showing an ad for Sabrina's full run being on Hulu+. She dances into her bedroom holding a weird talking animatronic cat (reminded me of Pet Sematary) and the cat's singing "Sabrina and Harvey sitting in a tree". Add this to the mix and I'm fully creeped out, because I'm thinking of Harvey from TMZ trying to put the moves on Sabrina and the Pet Sematary cat singing love songs in the background.ReplyCancel

"They used to stop for police and now it's an all-out run," George West Police Chief Rey Garcia said. "They are going to be in stolen vehicles, crashing through fences, gates, and causing accidents. Ninety percent of cases in human smuggling are going to involve property damage or injury."
GWPD officer Meakins was on patrol when he observed a Ford U-Haul cargo truck exceeding the speed limit by 20 mph while heading eastbound on Highway 59 near George West. When Meakins attempted to pull over the speeding U-Haul it continued east at 85 mph in the rain until it reached the turnaround near the Texas Department of Transportation's office.
The U-Haul made three loops up and down Highway 59 between the railroad overpass and the turnaround neat TxDOT with GWPD.
At one point the U-Haul pulled over, but it took off again and eventually went to Interstate 37. Attempts to stop the truck with tire spikes were unsuccessful because they were set up too late, according to Garcia.
The pursuit headed south on County Road 356 where it intersects with Hailey Ranch Road. Garcia said the truck didn't make the T-intersection and crashed through the iron gate on Brian Bracht's ranch. Garcia said Bracht estimated there was between $12,000 and $18,000 in damage done to the property.
Garcia said they went about 100-150 yards into the brush and Meakins followed as far as he could in the police car. Garcia also said that officer Lee secured the truck but the driver escaped through the passenger side door because the driver's side was "bashed in" and unable to be opened.
The U-Haul back door was reported to be trapped shut due to the brush. According to Garcia, the officers heard voices inside and found 18 illegal immigrants.
"When they opened the box truck they could see the sweat inside," Garcia said.
According to the GWPD report, there were 12 Hondurans, three Guatemalans, two from El Salvador and one from Mexico. Garcia said the youngest was born in 1995 and the oldest was born in 1963.
"I imagine they walked until they got to the border until they got their coyotes going," Garcia said.
No serious injuries were reported, but two of the men were taken to the hospital in Beeville for back injuries. Garcia said they were released shortly afterward.
"I guess with all the roller coaster ride, he was at the back end and ended up at the front end of the box," Garcia said.
Border Patrol took custody of the men for processing before sending them back to their home countries. Garcia said illegal immigrants essentially get a "do not trespass warning" and are documented for easier identification if they attempt to re-enter the United States.
Garcia said instances such as this are challenging for small police departments and a safety concern for the community. With only two officers on duty at night, that meant one was supervising the group of illegal immigrants until border patrol arrived. Garcia said it would have been easy for the 18 men to overpower the single officer and leave to steal another car or break into a house.
Garcia said the U-Haul was reported stolen but the location of the theft and its origin was not shared with GWPD. The U-Haul had Arizona license plates, but that doesn't indicate the origin of the theft.
"If they had eluded officers and abandoned the truck, someone would have been deceased," Garcia said.

OGKnickfan,needs cheered up guys hes always dissapointed and can't enjoy a Knicks win.Come on OGKnickfan, cheer up you're starting to depress us all.
You guys get so emotional, about one little win, that now you're even talking about Q like he's Michael Jordan, just because he wears #23 and hit a couple of shots.
I have been where you're at, excited about one little win, hoping that it's a new trend with the Knicks. Every time, it's just resulted in disappointment. Until I see good play, over a period of 20-30 games, I won't believe. The Knicks will disappoint you: you can bet on it.
OGKnickfan,needs cheered up guys hes always dissapointed and can't enjoy a Knicks win.Come on OGKnickfan, cheer up you're starting to depress us all.
And saying Hughes' took a bad shot, how about your boy Nate. Kid took a stupid three when we were down 1 towards the end of the game instead of getting a good shot. Hughes got points for his bad shot.
lary hughes is mega beast what is this drop under eyes of him is like is crying???
Please bring back the NYK intro from the 1994 Finals...PLEASE!!!!
its because of is brother who died thats why he got out of collage the frist year beacuse his family need money because his brother was sick and had no money. And i never seen this but have ya people seen the al harigthon kicks they dont look that bad and there cheap is he strating to do like starbury lol. is is cheap dat means he has a good heart to man so that good and larry has been playing well ogknicksfan u know it and dont take that from him what u want q to strat o tell me u know he got god d **** every good d play i see noe from the knicks is from him man does like 20 deflection a game.
Nate Robinson, once again, made this win happen. Knicks had only 3 TO's, an incredible achievement, thanks to Nate running the point, and Hughes at the 2. Hats off to Q for showing what he can do, he def deserves minutes off the bench...
Hughes > Q
At this point, Nate deserves to start at the point; how many 6th men average over 30 points/game when given the minutes?
N8 is NBA's top scorer after all-start break (behind Kobe and Lebron), now that's saying sumthing. Duhon has hit the wall, he needs bench rest.
N8 > Duhon
I don't want to hear we need a spark like Nate off the bench, I say start your best players:
and let's see some action from:
Check Samba - 2 minutes a game?
Demitris Knick - 2-3 shots a game?
More Gallo, Less Jefferies
Good game for the Knickerbockers!
My boy Nate? I've never claimed Nate as one of my favorite players. However it's good that YOU mentioned him, because, without Nate's 30 points, the Knicks don't even have a chance to win, because Hughes and Q did crap... until the Pistons gave it away in the 4th, by fouling Leisure suit Larry, and got nailed in OT.
All in all, lucky game. Enjoy.
The Knicks beat another team they were supposed to beat....2 wins on Back to Back games on the road....record setting game of just 3-turnovers in a game that included overtime.
The Knicks can not afford a FA Nate the Great Robinson
And u guys b wondering why I got so upset with the LOSSES to the Raptors, Bobcats, and Nets (by calling-out Dantoni 'Tanking' experimental lineups on)....teams we were supposed to beat by 6 or more points.
Any true Knick-Fan whom been watching these Knicks since Lee & Nate rookie season should know Isiah may be this and that on the negative side but his positive was he drafted nothing but WINNING-PLAYERS for this Knick Team (4th Quarter Hustlers)....the Knicks 27 wins this season I contribute it all to the exciting performance of "Nate, Chandler, and Lee"...
Renaldo Balkman finally got his first start with Denver and recorded his first "Double-Double" 14-14 in his 30 minutes of playingtime with 3-ast, 2-stl, 1-blk, and 1-turnover.
Marcus Williams got waived and Crawful got benched by coach Nelson.
lol @ balkmans 2 good games in the whole season
wasnt starbury 0-6 last night in the boston loss?
Yow, Duhon's been playing injured most of the 2nd half of the season, so take it easy on the bro, when he made that 22assisst record you all were saying he's better than marbury, now he's hurt and not effective you call him a bum, cmon give dude a break....D'antoni should decrease his minutes, but still start him, because nate's more effective as a 6th man player, with time "The ****" will be great, Hughes playing well, but by next game he'll score like 9 points..........
Moz and NYK 4 Life....."I got orange n blue blood pumpin in my veins"........

It took a team effort and some heavy machinery to rescue a horse trapped in mud in Salem.
Marion County firefighters were called to the 6000 block of Juniper Street Northeast at 10:15 a.m. on Sunday.
A horse had fallen down an embankment into a shallow creek. The muddy creek acted similar to quicksand for the horse, according to firefighters.
The horse, named Missy, was trapped with mud all the way up her sides.
Rescue crews used hand tools and rope to try and pull Missy out, but after two hours, it was determined she was far too entrenched in the mud and bigger resources would be needed.
The owner of the horse, Robert Alexander Jr., contacted a friend who brought a front-end loader to the scene.
The loader was fitted with heavy duty lifting straps. The horse was sedated by Dr. Terry Gerros, an equine veterinarian from Santiam Equine.
After three hours, the sedated horse was lifted out and put on stable ground away from the embankment.
Firefighters said a similar rescue operation happened on the same property in February, when another horse got stuck in barbed wire fencing in a pond. Firefighters rescued that horse, as well.

As many of you already know, Chelle and I are HUGE fan girls of The WING SLAYER HUNTERS series. It is one of our all time favorite series and we gush about it whenever and wherever we can. It consists of four (4) truly amazing and magical books, "Blood Magic", "Soul Magic", "Night Magic" and "Sinful Magic", and one incredible enovella, "Forbidden Magic" that was just released on Friday 4/13. We highly recommend this series to everyone. In case you've missed or previous gushing of the series, here's the synopsis for each book in the series and a special excerpt of "Forbidden Magic" that Jennifer has given us just for the event…..

Many years later, Jen met her real life hero at the dog pound, married him and they had three sons. She went back to school to get her degree, and pursued her passion of writing. Eventually writing won out over a degree and she began to write full time.
Jen has penned the award winning Samantha Shaw Mystery Series and several other romantic mysteries under the name Jennifer Apodaca. Then she decided to unleash her inner witch, took the name Jennifer Lyon and created the Wing Slayer Hunter Series about tortured alpha males and the very special witches who love them.

How do the material, cultural, intellectual, and social contributions of African Americans shape your day to day life?
This is a question that Zanya Harriott '14 is asking members of the Haverford community to consider in her week-long project, "Uncommon Knowledge" in which students, faculty, and staff have been invited to make the attempt to live their day-to-day lives without crucial inventions by black people; you can follow the project by going to the OMA Facebook page, which you can get to from the button on www.haverford.edu/deans/oma
Zanya is offering nightly video updates on the challenges for the next day, along with histories of inventors such as Alice H. Parker, (whose patent # 1,325,905 is illustrated on the right) who in 1919 invented a heater with a mechanism that regulated the flow of heat to different rooms in a building (my household tried to do without this but when the interior hit 57 degrees, key constituencies staged a successful revolt).
For today, the theme is "The Daily Grind" — what are those common items that are ubiquitous and part of the fabric of our everyday lives?

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., vaccines, the EPA, and the interface with science-based medicine and public policy
This blog is entitled Science-Based Medicine for a reason, and that's because we here at SBM believe that the best method to result in the most efficacious treatments for the most people is through the application of science to the evaluation of the biology, pathophysiology, and treatment of disease and disorders.
I may (or may not) be departing a bit from the views of my co-bloggers with this belief, but for purposes of this blog I consider "medicine" to go far beyond what we as physicians do when we undertake to treat patients. In fact, in my view, the purview of science-based medicine should not be so limited but should include any area where decisions, actions, or policy have a direct impact on health. Thus, my definition of science-based medicine encompasses environmental policy, because of the profound effect on human health environmental pollution and toxins can have. Unfortunately for those of us who don't like its messiness, such a view drives me even more directly into politics than previous issues I've taken on. Like Dr. Novella, I rarely write about politics, but when it directly impacts science-based medicine. Mostly, such discussions here on SBM have involved the regulation of the medical profession by government, as Dr. Atwood discussed recently (1, 2, 3) in the context of the difficulties medical boards have in preventing quackery to my discussion of how a quack like Dr. Rashid Buttar could continue to practice in North Carolina, despite his despicable preying upon desperate cancer patients and the parents of children with autism, not to mention the frequent criticisms of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Dr. Sampson, on the other hand, was more than willing to examine a much more explicitly political issue, namely the number of Iraq War dead (1, 2), and that provoked a bit of disagreement with our commenters, not to mention me.
Recently, hot on the heels of the election of Barack Obama in the Presidential election last week, an issue relevant to several aspects of where science-based medicine intersects public policy popped up. Steve Novella has already commented on it on his own blog, as have numerous other medical bloggers, science bloggers, and political bloggers but I feel justified in commenting on it here, for the reasons that I've just mentioned. The controversy is that antivaccine activist and true believer in the scientifically discredited notion that mercury in the thimerosal preservative in vaccines causes autism, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is being seriously considered by Barack Obama either to head the Environmental Protection Agency or even to be Secretary of the Interior. Like our fearless leader Steve, I believe that such a selection would be an unmitigated disaster for science policy in government.

Walking on Nixon's path
President Barack Obama and his liberal supporters have made it very clear their philosophy of government is that it is their way or the highway. Now it seems they want people to understand the highway may be a very bumpy, hazardous road.
Fine. We Americans are accustomed to rough and tumble politics. And many people, perhaps even a majority, seem to believe the more bruises suffered by anyone who dares question Obama, the better.
But for well over two centuries, with some very serious lapses – slavery chief among them – we as a people have been trying to make progress toward what the nation's founders hoped for: a country in which, regardless of abuses by majorities that shift back and forth, everyone is guaranteed certain liberties and more than token influence over policy.
Now, even some leaders in Obama's own Democrat Party are beginning to wonder whether, in part through use of laws enacted under his Republican predecessor, the president has veered away from America's foundational ideals.
Consider news during just the past couple of weeks:
* Obama's Justice Department has harassed the Associated Press by seizing about two months' worth of telephone records for scores of reporters and editors – including information on their personal phones.
* The Internal Revenue Service has been caught bullying organizations with conservative political leanings.
* It has been established the Obama administration lied to the American people about the terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last fall – then intimidated government employees who wanted to tell the truth.
* Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' shakedown of health care companies has been revealed. Sebelius has sought millions of dollars in donations from them to fund part of the new health care law – Obamacare. That is a blatant breach of ethics and, quite likely, illegal.
* Earlier, Sebelius' department made it clear to health care companies that any disagreeing publicly with Obamacare could face retaliation.
There's a pattern here: Go along with us, or you may regret it.
A far-from-subtle policy of rewarding friends and punishing enemies has emerged. Last year, for example, the Competitive Enterprise Institute reported the Environmental Protection Agency routinely waived fees often charged to organizations seeking information, such as documents, when "green" energy groups were involved. But when conservative groups sought information, the fees were charged.
Not that misbehavior by the EPA should come as any surprise. Remember, this is the agency that is attempting to block coal mines by rescinding government permits granted years ago.
Obama is fully aware the "green" community supports action such as waste of hundreds of billions of dollars on "alternative" energy projects. Again, though, there's discrimination. At the same time that waste was going on, the administration was cutting funds to find ways to burn coal more cleanly.
Just last week, the AP reported the Obama administration has been harsh in fining industries such as oil and power companies whose activities accidentally kill birds, including some protected species. Yet since Obama became president, not one wind farm has been punished because it killed protected species such as golden eagles. More than 573,000 birds are killed by wind farms every year.
Obama has used our tax dollars to buy tens of millions of friends, through programs ranging from "cash for clunkers" to Obamacare. Incidentally, he also supported tax breaks for the biggest, richest corporations.
Many Americans simply adore him and believe the more he can do to punish his political foes, the better.
But in doing just that, Obama is trampling on basic liberties with gall not seen since Richard Nixon compiled his enemies list. There's a big difference, though: Nixon didn't get away with it.

All-terrain freestyle fanatic.
Ruling everything from heavy park jumps to frothy stashes of untracked powder, the Rome Women's Gold Snowboard sets the bar in all-terrain freestyle domination. Its Almost Twin shape keeps you centered between the contacts with a slightly elongated nose, delivering a twin-like freestyle feel, but with extra float on the deepest days of the year. Ultimately, the Gold excels anywhere on the mountain, regardless of whether you're lapping the park or earning first tracks.
Further enhancing the board's go-anywhere, rip-anything persona, its MtnPop Rocker 2.0 places rocker between the feet with camber extending from the inserts to the tip and tail. This rocker-camber hybrid delivers pre-loaded pop and precise carving performance with its responsive camber at the tip and tail. Mellowing things out just a bit, rocker between the feet offers a floaty, catch-free feel when you're slashing powder, hitting natural jibs, as well as buttering around the mountain. However, don't be fooled with the board's decent dose of rocker, it's still a predominately camber board (i.e. contacts touch snow without being weighed down), with enough response to tear apart steeps, send cliff lines, and launch big jumps without it feeling squirrely.
Keeping things snappy and responsive, the board's SuperPop core features long poplar wood segments with three zones of low-density wood. Z-Tech 1.0 increases the board's vibration dampening over chop, re-frozen bumps, and flat landings. Toss in a grippy QuickRip sidecut with two additional mid-board contacts, as well as a lightning-fast SinterSpeed base, for a phenomenal deck that's destined for all-terrain greatness.
- Almost Twin (centered between contacts, slightly longer nose)
- MtnPop Rocker 2.0 (rocker between feet, camber from inserts to tips)
- SuperPop Core (long poplar wood sections with three zones of low-density wood)
- Z-Tech 1.0 (1-inch Zylon strip down centerline)
- QuickRip sidecut (two extra mid-board contacts)
- SinterSpeed base

Ever since the Leadership Development Program was launched in Ethiopia in 2004, students from Compassion-assisted child development centers around the country submit their applications each year and pass through an intensive selection process to be one of the few chosen to participate in the program.
A student's acceptance into the program is considered a big accomplishment for a child development center, the family, and most of all the student.
Development centers invest a lot to make one child eligible for the program; the outcome is the aggregated input of many years of work and one that involves the unrelenting effort of the center staff, Sunday school teachers and caregivers.
In any community, if there is an understanding of the value of education, there will be a gradual change in the development of that community as students succeed and pursue higher education. The more the society believes in education, the more they invest in their children.
According to Mr. Azale, who has worked as Director for DebreZeit Meserete Kirstos Child Development Center for 14 years, the community's view toward education has been the decisive factor in the academic success of the majority of the children at his center.
There are parents who sacrifice a lot in order to buy their children books. There are also those who pay close attention to their children's academic progress. This isn't always the case elsewhere.
Many children living in poverty are forced to drop out of school and support their family. It takes extra effort to motivate these children and to show them other options. Even if the family believes in education, it is often considered a luxury.
To tackle this and other related problems encountered during the process of developing academically competent children, the center staff's commitment to constantly counsel and guide them plays a pivotal role.
According to Mr. Azale, who is also among center directors who won last year's award for bringing the highest number of students to the Leadership Development Program, the center starts working with children when they are 7 or 8 years old.
Children are encouraged to make a habit of reading. The center developed a system where the children are asked to list the books they need for the coming year. Those books are made available when possible in the resource center for all children to access. The resource center has a professional librarian, and Mr. Azale visit frequently.
In order to recognize the hard work of the students each academic year, the center arranges recreation time at the end of the year. During this time, the center staff encourages and awards those who did well academically, while motivating the others to do well in the coming year.
This event works wonders every year to create the kind of competitive spirit the center wants to instill in the children.
"We don't only work on the improvement of the children's academic performance; we want our children to have a balanced growth. Therefore, we also devote our time in developing their spiritual life as well as their social life," says Mr. Azale.
Even though the children come from various religious backgrounds, the Bible studies they learn gradually bring change in their lives, and many have accepted Jesus as their Savior.
To strengthen their spiritual life, the center encourages children to participate in various church activities. In addition to the spiritual activities, the center staff makes sure children are involved in various clubs, which helps develop their social skills, too.
According to Mr. Azale, the center focuses not only on making students eligible for the Leadership Development Program, but also works hard to ensure children qualify to pursue higher education.
"Preparing students for the Leadership Development Program is a longtime process and one that requires long-term planning. We believe that if we work on the foundation, our children will be competent in any setting. Therefore, we invest in them starting from their childhood.
"What we emphasize most is that children should work hard on their education, on their social as well as spiritual life to get accepted to the Leadership Development Program. But even if they don't get the chance, their being accepted at the university is success by itself."
Within the past six years 20 applicants from the center went through the selection process and nine were accepted into the program.
The students who compete for the program but aren't selected often have no one to financially support their education, making it hard for them to concentrate on their studies.
Mr. Azale mentions the challenge he faces in reassuring students who are not selected. He wants to raise the quota to accept more children in the future.
"It is very difficult for us to convince students who don't get the chance to be sponsored through the Leadership Development Program. I personally don't blame them because these children will have no financial support whatsoever after they join the university.
"Our center staff currently supports two students in university because the students' parents have no means of giving them financial support. It would be good if more children could participate in the program. If not I think we should think about supporting the children who don't get the chance.
"The Leadership Development Program is a sacrificial service for everyone involved. We pay a price to bring the children to that level; the specialists pay a price to cultivate the children they accept and people who find sponsors pay a price to make sure that each child has a support.
"I would like to encourage those that are engaged in the work of finding these fine students sponsors to work hard because the more sponsors they find, the more children will be accepted in the program.
"Each child's success in the program is the fruit of their hard work, so I say 'God bless you' and I encourage you again to make it possible for more children to get into the program."

Yellowstone's New Science Leader
Dave Hallac is loving his new job. As the division chief of the Yellowstone Center for Resources (YCR), he oversees all science, cultural resources, and management programs for park wildlife, fisheries, and invasive species.
From bears and bison, to museum collections and archeological discoveries, YCR programs reach every corner of the park. We recently sat down with Dave to learn more about him and his role in Yellowstone.
Dave Hallac: In 2000, I took a position working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on threatened and endangered species conservation in South Florida. In addition, I was involved in planning Everglades restoration projects, which was a huge undertaking involving a complex mix of public and private agencies.
Later on, I moved to a job at Everglades National Park, continuing to focus on restoration work. Soon thereafter, I was appointed as the Chief Biologist for both the Everglades and Dry Tortugas National Park, and dealt with serious issues involving invasive species like the Burmese python. I also spent time as Site Manager at Dry Tortugas, which is 70 miles west of the Florida Keys. This was an incredible opportunity to manage a marine park with seven islands, several miles of underwater nature preserve, and a Civil War-era fort. We had to make our own water and electricity, and every boat ride to the mainland was a six-hour journey. I was hooked on the NPS mission to preserve natural systems, and responsibly manage visitor enjoyment of these beautiful places. I also got to enjoy some great fishing.
YPF: What prepared you for, or influenced, your career path?
DH: My first college course on wildlife management, at the University of Vermont (UVM), was fantastic. It definitely fed my passion for wildlife and natural systems, and I knew I wanted to work in natural resource management. After working in the private sector for a few years, I went back to UVM to get a master's degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology. My research was on invasive aquatic species in Lake Champlain, and I really experienced the important relationship between good science and sound management decisions.
YPF: What surprised you about Yellowstone?
DH: The people and history of Yellowstone is impressive. I am enjoying learning more about the communities around the park, and was also drawn to the fact that so many Native American tribes have historical and continuing cultural ties to Yellowstone. Those deep human connections to place are a wonderful part of what makes Yellowstone special.
YPF: How is your family adjusting to living in Yellowstone?
DH: They're loving it. My family has been cross-country skiing in the park, and we have been able to enjoy some downhill skiing at Bridger Bowl. Plus, living here at Mammoth Hot Springs, with the frequent wildlife at our front door, has been a treat for everyone.
YPF: What most excites you about your job, and what impact would you like to make?
DH: Yellowstone has had some big successes with bison and grizzly bear recovery, and wolf reintroduction, which puts it on the forefront of rebuilding diverse, functioning ecosystems. I want to continue that success with Yellowstone cutthroat trout and other native fish species. I think the potential to recover the cutthroat trout population is high; it will have ecosystem-wide benefits, and was part of the reason I took this position in Yellowstone.
I also want to see us continue to increase the use of applied scientific research to make sound resource management decisions. This is an important professional direction, and I want to be able to build on the reputation and success of Yellowstone.

Last night at the Ohio Theatre, BalletMet and Cincinnati Ballet presented three short works, including one each by the companies' respective artistic directors. Their imaginative creations were reason enough to go, but like any good hosts, the best was saved for last.
The evening ended with a majestic performance of legendary choreographer George Balanchine's 1947 ballet Symphony in C. With the principals, demi couples and corps, the services of 40 dancers were required, achieved with the temporary yoking of the two ballet companies.
To whet our appetite, however, the program began with Edwaard Liang's much more minimalistic, but no less impressive, Wunderland. BalletMet's inaugural performance of a work choreographed by the company's new artistic director was also the most explicitly modern on the bill.
With less-colorless-than-usual music by Philip Glass, a series of brief scenes played out among men and women. In the first pas de deux, Bethany Lee and David Ward were introduced standing facing each other, mirror-like, appearing to the audience as one.
Carrie West and Gabriel Gaffney Smith brought a more tempestuous flavor to their pas de deux, as he reached for her waist at the precise moment when piano keys were struck. The two seemed to summon the snowfall that covered the stage near the end — a magic moment that also explained the title.
Next was Bolero, choreographed by Cincinnati Ballet artistic director Victoria Morgan. The music of Maurice Ravel was the backdrop to a kind of "seven ages of man" for balletomanes. Rows of BalletMet Academy students were gradually supplanted by adult Cincinnati Ballet dancers. Most striking among them was Cincinnati Ballet's Janessa Touchet, who in her pas de deux with Rodrigo Almarales displayed flawless technique and had sass to spare.
But there was no topping the blissful brilliance of Balanchine. With its euphoric expression of Georges Bizet's music, Symphony in C was never less than exciting. During the 3rd Movement, the corps practically hopped to the melodies, while the multitude of dancers assembled for the finale dazzled.
Just as Balanchine was bewitched by Bizet, the members of these two Ohio companies appeared similarly stirred by Balanchine.

Norris, of the Austin company NorrisLeal Engineering Water, said several permits need to be obtained.
He said the state agency will need to issue permits for a number of projects related to the plan to drill a well approximately 1,700 feet into the Jasper aquifer and to pump that water into an RO plant where suspended solids and chlorides would be removed.
He said treated water would be pumped into existing storage tanks at the city's water storage facility on West Cleveland Street.
Norris also said engineers would need to study alternatives for disposing of the effluent removed from the well water.
He said there would be several options, including selling the effluent to oil drilling companies looking for water to use in hydraulic fracking.
Norris explained that another alternative would be to deposit the effluent into the city's wastewater treatment facility.
City Councilman David Carabajal made the motion to provide the funds and the $10,000 limit. The motion was seconded by Councilman John Fulghum and approved without opposition.
In other business, the council voted to:
— Approve payment of the fourth quarter hotels and motel tax funds for the Bee County Chamber of Commerce.
— Authorize the payment of $10,091 to Xylem Water Solutions for repairs to a pump at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's William G. McConnell Unit wastewater lift station.
— Approve the payment of an $8,349 bill for a valve replacement at the city's Mussett Road booster pump location.
— Accept an offer of $27,531.30 for the purchase of three new Dodge Charger patrol cars for the Beeville Police Department.
— Approve a deadline for requests from City Council members for including items on its meeting agendas.
— Authorize the city to use in house labor for the construction of a small building at a radio tower location.
— Approve changing the polling place for Ward 1 City Council election from Trinity Christian Center to the Doctor's Building at 301 S. Hillside Drive.

With the United States men's national team facing a big World Cup game against Germany on Thursday, they can count on at least one high-profile backer to do whatever it takes to advance.
Will Ferrell made a surprise appearance at a pre-game rally at bar in Recife, Brazil, on Wednesday, taking to the stage to psych up his fellow American fans.
Dressed in a USA soccer uniform, Ferrell told the crowd he planned to play in Thursday's match, in which the U.S. can guarantee advancing to the tournament's knockout stage with either a win or a tie.
"I'm honored to be playing tomorrow. I'm not going to lie to you, I'm not in the best shape, but I'm going to try my best and live up to the spirit of this American team," Ferrell told the crowd.
Then, inspired by now-banned Uruguay striker Luis Suarez's chomp of an Italian player's shoulder earlier this week, Ferrell made a promise.
"If the game gets close, I will bite, I bite will bite every tournament player if I have to," he said to cheers.
The U.S. can advance to the next stage of the tournament even if they lose to the favored Germans, depending on the outcome of the other Group G game pitting Portugal and Ghana.

Ohio Northern University to present Kremlin Chamber Orchestra
Ohio Northern University's Department of Music presents the Kremlin Chamber Orchestra on Thursday, Oct. 10, at 8 p.m. The concert will take place in the Snyder Recital Hall in Presser Hall and is free and open to the public.
Founded in 1991, the orchestra, comprised of some of Russia's finest young string players, has carved a niche for itself under the creative baton of its founder and music director Misha Rachlevsky. Nearly half of the more than 1,600 concerts the orchestra has performed to date have taken place in Moscow; the rest were played on tours in 24 countries in Europe, North and South America, and the Far East.
The orchestra's discography of more than 30 CDs has received widespread international acclaim, such as the Diapason d'Or award in France, Critics Choice in London's Gramophone, Critics Choice in The New York Times, and Record of the Year award in Hong Kong. Of about 1,000 compositions in the orchestra's repertoire, more than 20 were written especially for the orchestra by composers from Russia, Europe and the U.S.

It has still been too wet to plant in NW Ohio. Some people who have a sandy field might try to get started later this week. We crossed the northern part of the state again last week on Route 224. There are quite a few tractors sitting in barn yards ready to go, but no planters were sitting out. On my large tractors I change all the filters each year. I used to change all the hydraulic and transmission oil also, but I was told that it was wasteful and that instead I should just pour the used oil back in the tractor and then stop when I see dirt or metal filings in the bottom of the 5 gallon buckets I use to drain the oil. I let the oil sit in the buckets for a day and the impurities settle out in the bottom 2 in. of the bucket. This is very economical; it probably saves about $1,000 of oil a year and makes for less oil to have to dispose of. I only drain my engine oil once a year. I use top quality para synthetic oil so I don't have to worry about how many hours the tractors run because the oil can run several hundred hours without breaking down.
In my travels I stopped at Tiffin, Ohio and looked at a straw bale house that was built last year. I had read about it in a newspaper and wanted to see it. The walls are rated at R-80 and the home is almost energy independent because it also has its own windmill to generate electricity. I was extremely impressed with the tour that I took.

You have no information that proves CP3 is a bad closer.
It's not clutch to you? Who are, Steve Nash? Lets see you make a free throw when the game is the on the line. Basketball isn't as easy as you think. Come back to reality.
CP3 stats from 2012 still indicate the dude is an elite player in the 4th quarter, he has the ability to preform, not only in the previous season but all throughout his career, and theres nothing you have to prove he can't do it this year. CP3 ain't Pau Gasol, you're acting stubborn and illogical assuming CP3 lost this closer ability.
You haven't watched enough Clippers games well enough then. Paul is the reason why Clippers are elite. MVP behavior? That doesn't even exist. Come up with something more understandable and atleast take the time make sense and explain it better, you're talking out of your ass right now...haven't provided any objective information to this thread and really talking out of how you feel on CP3 and not what you know about him, which is showing to be very little. Paul guided the Clippers to a 16-0 record -- the best monthly mark in franchise history -- in which they won their games by an average of 15.8 points. The Clippers joined the 1995-96 Spurs and 1971-72 Lakers as the only teams in NBA history to complete a calendar month with a record of 16-0. You really gotta shut up about this "Chris Paul passing up shots" nonsense. He's by far the best player on his team and his team is elite, keeping it simple for you, he's the biggest factor on that team. You don't need to close out games when your team is winning the games by 15 points on average, numb nuts.
With Chris Paul at the helm, the Clippers have compiled a 25-8 record. Chris Paul is top 3-4 in PER and it's only going to increase.

The Name type
Every entity (type constructor, class, identifier, type variable) has a Name. The Name type is pervasive in GHC, and is defined in compiler/basicTypes/Name.lhs. Here is what a Name looks like, though it is private to the Name module:
data Name = Name { n_sort :: NameSort, -- What sort of name it is n_occ :: !OccName, -- Its occurrence name n_uniq :: Int#, -- Its identity n_loc :: !SrcLoc -- Definition site }
- The n_sort field says what sort of name this is: see NameSort below.
- The n_occ field gives the "occurrence name", or OccName, of the Name.
- The n_uniq field allows fast tests for equality of Names.
- The n_loc field gives some indication of where the name was bound.
The NameSort of a Name
There are four flavours of Name:
data NameSort = External Module (Maybe Name) -- (Just parent) => this Name is a subordinate name of 'parent' -- e.g. data constructor of a data type, method of a class -- Nothing => not a subordinate | WiredIn Module (Maybe Name) TyThing BuiltInSyntax -- A variant of External, for wired-in things | Internal -- A user-defined Id or TyVar -- defined in the module being compiled | System -- A system-defined Id or TyVar. Typically the -- OccName is very uninformative (like 's')
- Internal, System
- An Internal Name has only an occurrence name. Distinct Internal Names may have the same occurrence name; the n_uniq distinguishes them.
There is only a tiny difference between Internal and System; the former simply remembers that the name was originally written by the programmer, which helps when generating error messages.
- External
An External Name has a globally-unique (module, occurrence name) pair, namely the original name of the entity, that describes where the thing was originally defined. So for example, if we have
module M where f = e1 g = e2 module A where import qualified M as Q import M a = Q.f + gthen in module A, the function Q.f has an External Name M.f.
During any invocation of GHC, each (module, occurrence-name) gets one, and only one, Unique, stored in the n_uniq field of the Name. This association remains fixed even when GHC finishes one module and starts to compile another. This association between (module, occurrence-name) pairs and the corresponding Name (with its n_uniq field) is maintained by the Name Cache.
- WiredIn
- A WiredIn Name is a special sort of External Name, one that is completely known to the compiler (e.g. the Bool type constructor). See Commentary/Compiler/WiredIn.
The BuiltInSyntax field is just a boolean yes/no flag that identifies entities that are denoted by built-in syntax, such as [] for the empty list. These Names aren't "in scope" as such, and we occasionally need to know that.
Entities and Names
Here are the sorts of Name an entity can have:
- Class: always has an External Name.
- TyCon: always has an External or WiredIn Name.
- TyVar: can have Internal, or System Names; the former are ones arise from instantiating programmer-written type signatures.
- Ids: can have External, Internal, or System Names.
- Before CoreTidy, the Ids that were defined at top level in the original source program get External Names, whereas extra top-level bindings generated (say) by the type checker get Internal Names. This distinction is occasionally useful for filtering diagnostic output; e.g. for -ddump-types.
- After CoreTidy: An Id with an External Name will generate symbols that appear as external symbols in the object file. An Id with an Internal Name cannot be referenced from outside the module, and so generates a local symbol in the object file. The CoreTidy pass makes the decision about which names should be External and which Internal.

Junior left-hander Cameron Kremers was selected to the all-district second team. His won-lost record was not impressive, but he kept the young Trojans in almost every game he pitched and notched double-digit strikeouts in most outings to go along with a low earned run average for the Beeville nine. Several 1-0 losses dotted his season as the Beeville offense struggled all season.
The district was packed with great pitching this year, according to the coaches, and was led by state 4A runner-up Victoria East.
Three Trojans garnered honorable mention status for head coach Matt Trujillo. Senior catcher Daniel Amador, sophomore pitcher/infielderJonathan Carrillo and sophomore infielder Jarrett Cano made the distinguished list presented by the district's coaches.
Kremers, Carrillo and Amador also were Academic All-District performers. All three maintained a 90 or above average in the classroom as well as being in good standing on the diamond for the Trojans.

One day ballhawking trips from Pittsburgh
I have my 2012 season all planned out, and it looks like I'll be hitting up five cities that I've ballhawked at before. It looks like best case scenario I'll make about 12-20 games in Cleveland, six to Baltimore, maybe six-ten in Cincinnati, two in Washington, and two in New York City. Of course, much of that is subject to change. I only attended 16 away games total during the 2011 season, down from 28 in 2010 and 22 in 2009.
It's important to try and keep the costs of these trips to a minimum, which is why many times, I'll team up with Nick Pelescak to split the cost of the trips.
Take a look at how much one trip costs for one person. These prices don't include hotels, because usually when I go, I come back right after BP or the game. Also, tickets for the game aren't included, this is strictly a transportation chart:
I calculated the trips at various amounts depending on the gas prices. Right now, it's about $3.50 in the local area, but it's expected to approach and possibly top $4 per gallon during the summer. Also, the miles in the chart above are round trip.
The easiest way to eliminate hefty transportation costs would be to team up with one or two other ballhawks and split the expenses or take a low cost bus carrier, like Megabus.
I took megabus to Cleveland three different times last year, saving myself about $210 in gas, tolls, and parking. My total cost for those three trips? $9. If you book early enough on megabus, you can get tickets for $1.
Currently, megabus only has one trip to Pittsburgh to Cleveland and one returning trip from Cleveland to Pittsburgh. Last year there were at least 4 different trips. I caught a bus around 11:45AM in Pittsburgh and made it to Cleveland at 2:30ish, went to batting practice, and then hopped on a megabus around 8PM and arrived home just before 11pm.
The site currently is only accepting reservations through the end of March. I typed in Wednesday March 28th to see what routes were available. The only ticket to Cleveland from Pitt departs at 7AM, arriving in Cleveland at 9:30AM. The only returning ticket leaves Cleveland at 8:15 PM and arrives in Pittsburgh at 10:55 PM. This is a real bummer, as I won't likely take the bus if I have to get up that early and spend all that time waiting around in Cleveland.
So, hopefully I can team up with some fellow ballhawks to make some trips.
Any of you have any tips for keeping costs down?
67 more days until Opening Day…
3 Comments
The cost of road trips and gas certainly factored in to my trading in my V8 Infiniti for a 4 cylinder Kia Optima. It makes a big difference. I just got back from a 500 mile round trip to Des Moines. In the winter, my baseball road trips are replaced by concert road trips. A big issue for me is that I really prefer going by myself or with really close friends or family that know my quirks. I don't like to comprimise at all. I don't share hotel rooms and I like things exactly like I like them. I don't like having to take others wants into consideration. Your best bet seems to try to generate some interest among the PNC ballhawks other than Nick to drive costs down. Also, if you don't mind sharing cheap Priceline hotel rooms, taking fewer trips, but staying a few days at a time to catch more games may be cheaper. But, when you factor in lodging and food costs, it may just be a wash. You may have answered this in the past, but why don't you ballhawk in Philly?
Exactly! That is why I love going down to KC 6 hours away to catch games as opposed to going to Target Field. It is just way too crowded. I did the car rental thing a few times myself when I had the V8, but now with the Optima, I am using it exclusively. It has an Eco mode that will get me in the low 30's MPG even when driving 80-85MPH. Where in the midwest to you hope to get to?
