Chargers Win!!
On Saturday night, the Chargers did it. It wasn't easy, but they got it done.
The Chargers weren't favored to win this game against the Colts. Even some of the Chargers fans that I know weren't sure if San Diego could pull it off. But the stadium was packed on Saturday night, and the fans were the 12th player.
The game was incredible. The Chargers had a few leads, thanks to touchdowns by the injured LaDanian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles. LT left the game soon after his touchdown. But the Colts came back and took the lead, 17-14. In the second half, the Chargers were not doing well. They were making fumbles and bad calls and plays. As the end of the 4th quarter neared, it seemed unlikely for the home team to come back. But then the Chargers hit a good field goal, and the game was tied. It went into overtime soon after.
Six minutes and twenty seconds into overtime, Darren "little big man/lightning bug" Sproles had the ball. And he had a path to the end zone. He dodged a few guys and blew by them, running 22 yards to win the game, 23-17.
This guy has just been incredible. He's only five-foot-six, and he weighs 181. But he can run, and he has really been stellar as LT's backup. He did have a fumble in the fourth quarter, right next to the end zone, so you know he was really for redemption. And he got it.
It was very exciting. I listened most of the game, trying again to figure out what was going on. But I got it. The Chargers won. It still seems kind of unbelievable that they actually pulled it off. They are moving onto the next round, after beating the team that was considered one of their biggest obstacles in the playoffs. And let me tell you, the Chargers are really hot right now. They are on a 5-game winning streak. They just seem to get even better game after game. I don't see how anything can stop them, even without LT.
Now they will play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. I don't know if they can win that game. It is very unlikely that they will have LT to play, but Sproles seems to be doing a good job in his place. Besides, they can win without LT. We'll just have to see how they do.
In other news, the Padres website has a new article: Quiet Padres are not done reloading!! Well, what do you know?? I think lots of people are desperate for something new. So, they just take old news and try to apply it to right now. That article was basically restating that Kevin Towers said that they will be getting players in late January to early February. So, we will still be making moves! How exciting. I am really ready for baseball. Go Padres! and Chargers!

Congratulations on your Chargers! And here's hoping there really will be some activity in the Padres' front office – in a good way.
Kaybee – it was a GREAT game to watched – and I am SO glad the Colts out of it! Good luck to the Chargers next weekend!
The way the season started. I never would have thought the Chargers would have made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs. Good luck! Sounds like the Padres are just trying to cut payroll, so they can sell the team. =(
-King of Cali
JANE, I really hope so too!
JULIA, it really was a great game! I think it's going to be snowing in Pittsbugh though…
KING OF CALI, it really is crazy that they've made it this far. Let's see how far they can go!

4-13-09 PNC Park : Home Opener
Today was PNC Park's Opening Day. I went today with my wife Holly. We got to the gates around 10:30 AM, and waited in line for a half hour. When the gates opened, I rushed in and was the 6th one into the left field bleachers.
Things were a little dry at first. Eventually, two balls were hit and Ian Snell came to the fence to get them. I asked him for a ball and he flipped one over his head without looking to me. It was ball #1 of the day. Luckily, for the first 30 minutes, only season ticket holders are permitted into batting practice, so I had plenty of room to roam.
Game: 5 balls (2 hit, 1 thrown, 2 device)
Season: 13 balls (7 hit, 4 thrown, 2 device)
Games: 3 (3 with BP, 0 without)
Average: 4.33
Career: 179 balls
Hit List: 179 ties me with Willy Aybar for #3809 all time.
Attendance: 38,411.

Hey brotha! I guess I got a lot of caching up to do tomorrow night and the following week. I'm shootin' for seven balls total tomorrow, if not more, and couple of trips to Yankee Stadium and two trips to Citi next week, I should have a nice total for you if all goes well. Congrats on getting your blog promoted on MLBlogs homepage too! Are you traveling to NY at all this season for the Pirates series?
– Donnie
Wow, sounds like you had a great day at the ballpark! I love the way the grass was cut on the field! That looks so cool. Congrats on being the featured blog!
Good to see your season is off to a good start! I look forward to a fun season now that we have the "Ballhawk League"
Stop by my MLBlog and say "HI"
Major League Ballhawk
7 balls would be quite impressive for your opening game. I've set my goal at 3 balls for every game I go to. Sometimes if I aim too high and come up short, I'm in a bad mood for the rest of the game.
I always like the designs that ballparks put into the grass too. We'll probably have this design all homestand, and it'll be different next homestand. It's really cool to be featured on mlblogs. Hopefully I'll get some new readers.
The ballhawk league has added more incentive for me to catch balls this year. I'd like to at least be competitive with the big boys in the league. We'll see how it plays out.
hey man i definately saw you in the outfield yesterday thinking that device was the coolest thing ever. im not much of a "ballhawk" but tried my hand at getting some balls. failed miserable as i did not have a glove. i did leave with my hands stinging after attempting to grab a few blasts over my head. ill be at PNC on saturday with a glove and a plan to come home with a ball or two
I agree. LaRoche deserves the hook. Nice reportage. Even nice collection.
Good job on opening day and best of luck in your league. Be sure to say hi whenever you're ballhawking at the Mets games.Ashhttp://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com
Nice haul, bro and congrats on being the featured blog. It couldn't have come at a better time for our "ballhawk league."
Good luck…love your park!
That was a great Game i got Nate,Grawbow, and capps to sign my ball afterwords unfortunately I had to go buy it I didnt get any during BP or the game
Sorry you didn't get any balls yesterday. If it makes you feel any better, the Pirates had "Practice" stamped on the sweet spots, and the Astros brand their balls with a huge black H.
Burgh Blues-
Thanks. This is the year!
Hopefully with all of our blogs being updated on a regular basis the ballhawk league will continue to get exposure. We just need to get the rest of us to get caught up to you and Hample to make this more of a competition.
I'm thinking about coming to Citi Field when the Pirates play there in May. I have to see some reviews about their batting practice rules to see if its worth the trip. We've got a couple ballhawks in the league that have Citi Field as their "home field." So I'll wait and see what they have to say.
LaRoche is out of options, so I think we're going to have to suffer for more hitless games. He was on fire in Spring Training though. Hopefully he can find that stroke again. He hit 3 or 4 consecutive homers in batting practice in Cincinnati. I was watching from right field thinking, "I wish I was over there!"
The glove trick is cool, but Zack Hample deserves the credit for inventing it. Its become a more widely used tool of the trade. There was someone else at PNC Park on Monday with a glove trick as well.
Agreeing with you Erik, Happy and Zack are just a little too far ahead of the game right now. When you invite the Masters of Snag to play along, what else did you expect? For them to take it easy on us? Lol. If they both give up games for about a month, and I magically have full season tickets and travel around America watching baseball, calling out for balls in 50 different languages, then I think I would just barely catch up to them, if they stopped now. First game today and the only one this week until our stats are due. I'll shoot you an email later tonight when I get back from Citi.
– Donnie
Even though you might not win the total ball count (which is of course the most "sexy" stat – like the HR crown), you could still win a category like hit balls. Maybe competition factor? The main thing you can work on is trying to move up in the standings. We're not going to be #1 overnight. I'm just hoping that I can hang onto the #3 spot next week…

A federal government shutdown would affect various services in Hawaii, and force thousands of workers to stay home.
Passport offices may close immediately in a shutdown, with requests going unprocessed. That goes for visas as well.
National parks and monuments like the Arizona Memorial would also go dark.
Thousands of federal employees would be furloughed, including nearly 3,000 civilian employees at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.
Another 1,500 or so civilian workers at the shipyard will be exempt to keep the shipyard running.
"We need to make sure national security is taken care of," said Hawaii Metal Trades Council President Don Bongo. "We need to ensure the safety of the shipyard and especially life and property."
If there's no resolution, employees won't find out until they show up to work Tuesday if they need to return home or if they're on that exceptions list.
All federal employees who work during a government shutdown would get paid retroactively if and when Congress comes to an agreement.
For those that are furloughed, a deal is being worked out for shipyard employees.
"We put in language to ensure that if Congress does pass the bill for retroactive pay, that the people on furlough do get paid for staying at home (under) furlough," Bongo said.
A few things that will not be affected include the military, Social Security, medical care, mail service and air traffic controllers.
Federal court will remain open. The judiciary has a pool of funds from fees that will keep it running for 10 working days.

Christopher L. DexterJuly 06,2013
Christopher L. Dexter Rites
BARRE The graveside service for Christopher Lee Dexter, 30, of Merchant Street, was held on Wednesday, July 3, 2013, at 1 p.m. in the Vermont Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Randolph Center. He died Tuesday, June 25, 2013.
The Rev. Candace Ricker, pastor of the New Hope United Methodist Church in Waits River, led the service.
Guitarist and brother Eric Dexter sang Nutshell. Reflections were offered by Christophers companion, Heather St. Amour, and longtime friend John Stacey. The Rev. Ricker read the Airborne Creed and the poem A Fallen Limb. She also read reflections written by Eric Dexter and Nicole Menduni and friend Tina Little, who wrote about My Friend.
Military honors were accorded the deceased by the Vermont Army National Guard military funeral honors team. Members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Brown-Johnson Post 792 of Montpelier provided the color guard, and members of the American Legion Post 9 of Randolph provided the firing party. Taps was played, and the flag was folded and presented to Christophers father, Luther Dexter.
The bearers were father Luther Dexter; brothers Eric Dexter and Dustin Dexter; stepfather Steven Butler; cousin Nick Peake; and friend John Stacey.
Following the service, family and friends gathered at the American Legion Post 10 in Barre for a time of sharing and refreshments.
The Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy St., Barre, was in charge of the arrangements.MORE IN ObituariesFrederick A. Full StoryBonnie L. Full StoryRichard E. Lemery

Richardson, a visiting judge from San Antonio, had been assigned the capital murder case of 34-year-old Robert Lynn Pruett, the McConnell Unit inmate convicted of killing 37-year-old correctional officer Daniel Nagle to death back in 1999.
The previous judge who had been hearing motions in the case, Ronald Yeager, reportedly has fully retired.
Yeager was the judge who scheduled Pruett's initial execution date for May 21 when he was asked to set a date earlier this year.
Yeager also was the judge who delayed the execution for 60 days after David R. Dow of the University of Houston Law Center filed a motion for the delay.
Dow claimed that a bloody palm print discovered on a torn disciplinary report that Nagle had in his hand at the time of his death could have provided DNA evidence that might clear Pruett of the murder.
Pruett had told Yeager at the time his original execution date was set that he thought his conviction for the crime was pretty much "open and shut" because of evidence found at the scene and the testimony of some of his fellow inmates at the time.
At Thursday's hearing, state attorney Al Hernandez told Richardson that the results of the DNA test were inconclusive, and he asked the judge to go ahead and schedule a date for the lethal injection to be administered.
However, Jeffrey Newberry, an attorney with the Texas Innocence Network at the University of Houston reminded the judge that the defendant was entitled to have a hearing on the DNA evidence.
Richardson agreed and called a recess so he could determine the proper time for a DNA hearing on the matter.
The hearing eventually was scheduled for Nov. 18 at 10:30 a.m.
Richardson said no execution date will be set at that hearing because Pruett's attorneys will have a right to take the case to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
Sources close to the case said it is doubtful that Pruett will have his execution scheduled before the first of next year.
Unlike the hearing when Yeager set Pruett's execution date for May 21, the defendant was not present in the courtroom.
Pruett was only 22 when he was sent to Death Row for Nagle's murder. At one time, he reportedly had been the youngest inmate in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Institutional Division.
He was serving a life sentence for murder with a deadly weapon in Harris County. His father and brother also were sent to prison for their part in the murder in a Houston trailer park.
A reporter and cameraman from the British Broadcasting Corp. were in the courtroom Thursday covering the hearing as part of a special documentary they are preparing on capital punishment.

Barre is a better dealApril 10,2013
Im writing to respond to Sandy Sommers letter to the editor published Tuesday. In that letter, the writer chastises Secretary of Administration Spaulding for moving the Department of Education to Barre at a cost (as the writer claims) of $400 per square foot.
The writer goes on to claim that better alternatives would have been to stay where it is at no additional cost, or move to a renovated building that the state already owns, e.g. the state complex, at a cost of $50 per square foot.
The writers letter is incorrect in virtually all factual respects. The future home of the Vermont Department of Education in Barre is being constructed at a net cost of approximately $13 million. The total project is approximately 83,000 square feet. That places the per square foot cost at $156.63, less than half the $400 that the writer recklessly quoted.
By any measure, City Place was, and continues to be, a fiscally prudent decision by the administration. Were looking forward to welcoming DOE employees to Barre and are proud to have presented a project that offers both economies of scale and operating efficiency to Vermont taxpayers. The cost to replace the damaged state facility in Waterbury has been estimated to be approximately $124.6 million. The May 2012 report submitted to FEMA cites the total square footage as being 273,503. That places the per square foot cost at approximately $457.03, almost 10 times the cost that the writer cites in the letter.
While the Waterbury facility is slightly more than other presented alternatives, none of the alternatives offered the opportunity to mass 273,503 square feet in one location. This efficiency alone justifies the additional upfront cost and will serve Vermont well in the future. Once again, the decision to rebuild in Waterbury was, and continues to be, a fiscally sound decision. Like Barre, Im sure Waterbury officials are looking forward to once again hosting our state employees. With regard to the current home(s) of the department, I believe the administrations report very accurately detailed the facility deficiencies and pitfalls of multiple locations in its report to the Legislature.
With regard to this facility being free, I suspect the current landlord would take issue with that statement. The administration, Buildings and General Services, Legislature, state employees and local officials have all done an outstanding job of moving Vermont forward in the wake of Irene. The construction and renovation plans presented by the administration and endorsed by the Legislature are fiscally sound and defensible, as long as we can count on critics to debate us on the facts. If the writer has an ax to grind with Barre, Waterbury or the administration, please grind your ax somewhere else.
I dont welcome attacks on my city, especially when one plays fast and loose with the facts.

Biscuit-making champion vies for Master title
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Southerners love their biscuits; they're almost in their own food group.
Now an employee at a Johnson City Bojangles is in the running to become their master biscuit champion -- the best biscuit maker in the entire company.
From Bojangles' corporate headquarters on down the line, everybody knows it all starts with the biscuit, and company-wide one of the top seven biscuit makers is Thomas Howard.
He applies his skills at the Bojangles just off the East Tennessee State campus. He won the biscuit-making competition in this restaurant, throughout the franchise, and in the state of Tennessee, and now it's on to the national finals. "You have to follow the procedures, recipe pretty much to the 'T' and you'll have a consistent biscuit every time," Thomas said.
But for the competition everything has to be almost perfect from rolling the dough, to placement on the baking tray, to the final product. "Our biscuits have a life expectancy of 20 minutes. From the time they come out of the oven to the time they go into somebody's hand being eaten. They're 20 minutes or less," Franchise consultant Bob Burgoyne says.
And there's a biscuit with almost everything served, so that means more biscuits, plus all of the other chores that Thomas has as far as baking.
All of the uproar about the competition has made him a bit famous. "Customers are wanting to meet Thomas now and they want to give him tips, they want to hug his neck and they want to see who made their biscuits. It's wonderful for business," store manager Karen Smith said.
And he says it's wonderful for being recognized for just doing your job and doing it exceptionally. "I enjoy doing it, I enjoy making biscuits everyday. It's just fun to me. It makes it even easier," Thomas says.
And a man who can make fine biscuits can go a long way, especially in South.
The competition will be held November 13 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Thomas could win as master biscuit maker a cash prize of $2,500.

A McHenry County College student who competed in the Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway contest received $7,500 for tuition from the company.
It was three times the original planned amount for those students who didn't make the finals on Dec. 1 during the Big 10 Conference football championship game in Indianapolis.
Layla Piorkowski, who competed for a $100,000 scholarship from the company, but came up short, was slated to be awarded $2,500 from Dr Pepper for being selected to participate in the contest.
The company decided to triple the award amounts for those who did not advance to the finals because there was a "great bunch of students this year and [Dr Pepper] really wanted to help them," said Lauren Samaha, who handles public relations for the company.
Piorkowski, a McHenry High School West Campus 2011 graduate, is completing her associate of science degree, and plans to go to Illinois State University and study biology.
In the contest, contestants have 30 seconds to throw as many footballs as possible through a two-foot hole in an oversize Dr Pepper bottle from five yards away.

As a community, Western New York is a great place to live, as anyone from the area will agree. Housing costs are quite reasonable, the climate is four-season and the people are warm and friendly. One of the most endearing qualities of Buffalo is the rich ethnic heritage of its people—an ingredient that has had a substantial positive influence on the quality of life here.
Our extensive waterfront offers summer recreational activities and the south towns have excellent winter sports. In addition to over 500 parks and playgrounds, Buffalo has thriving theatre and art districts. Home of the Buffalo Bills, Sabres and Bisons, Buffalo is also a professional sports lover's town. Majestic Niagara Falls is a short 20-minute drive and the world-class city of Toronto is just a 90-minute drive to the north.
Educational opportunities abound in Western New York. There are 17 public and private colleges, as well as the state's largest university, University at Buffalo. For those with children, there are strong public school districts less than a 30-minute drive from the hospital.
And there's more…The Albright-Knox Art Gallery, The Buffalo Museum of Science, the Historical Society, Buffalo Zoo, architectural landmarks, libraries, beautiful homes and estates, and a half-billion dollar light rail rapid transit system makes it all easy to reach!

Agreed-Upon Procedures for Federal Payroll
The Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 07-04 (Bulletin), "Audit Requirements for Federal Financial Statements," dated September 4, 2007, requires an annual audit of civilian payroll of executive departments and other Government agencies. Auditors are required to follow the agreed-upon procedures in Section I I of the Bulletin to assess the reasonableness of life insurance, health benefits, and retirement withholdings and contributions. In Fiscal Year 2008, the Department of Energy (Department) used the Defense Finance and Accounting Service to process its payroll.

Arthur Hills dies, played formative role at Grand Valley
Posted on April 01, 2013
Arthur Hills, a pioneer professor and administrator at Grand Valley State University, died March 31 in Grand Rapids. He was 92.
Hills, a musician and music instructor, was Grand Valley's first fine arts professor, a past academic officer, Secretary of the Board of Trustees and the composer of Grand Valley's alma mater, "Hail to Thee Grand Valley."
Hills began his career at Grand Valley as one of the original 14 faculty members in 1963. He served as a music professor when classes first began at what was then Grand Valley State College. The next year he was appointed assistant dean of the college and in 1966 he became associate dean of Academic Affairs. He also coordinated the college's Teaching Preparation Program. In 1971, Hills was appointed vice president for Administration and chief academic officer and became founding director of the Performing Arts Center. In 1978 he became executive assistant to President Arend D. Lubbers and Secretary of the Board of Trustees, a position he held until his retirement in 1987.
"Art Hills contributed to the establishment of Grand Valley," said Lubbers. "He influenced its academic development, and his positive spirit at the beginning contributed significantly to the way Grand Valley operates today. Working with Art for many years was a pleasure for me. To understand Grand Valley in its early years you have to be aware of Art Hills' contributions."
The Arthur C. Hills Living Center on the Allendale Campus is named for him, as is the Arthur C. Hills Music Scholarship and the Art Hills Spirit Award.
A memorial service will be held on campus later this spring.
Those wishing to make a gift to the Arthur C. Hills Music Scholarship at Grand Valley can call Grand Valley's Development Office at (616) 331-6000 or visit www.gvsu.edu/giving.

You Will Win Tonight
I'm going to the Padres game tonight, and I really want a win. The Padres have lost their last two games to the Rockies. Last night, they put up a fight, but it wasn't enough. I don't want my boys to be playing like they have been for the rest of the season. And so, I am going to have to take desperate measures to make sure my boys win at least tonight, and hopefully a lot in this second half.
When I went to the fair a few weeks ago, I got to see a hypnotist show. It was fascinating. The hypnotist dude had all these people on stage and he did very strange things to them that made them do very strange and funny things. So I thought, hey, if a hypnotist can make a girl think she's Lady Gaga, he can certainly make a group of guys think they're a baseball team.
So I called, yep you guessed it, Bob the Hypnotist.
First, he called in Kevin Correia, the starting pitcher tonight.
BOB: You are getting veeeerrrry sleeeeeepppy. Use your eyes to follow the watch.
KEVIN: Sleeeeepy…
BOB: Good. You willl pitch veeeerrry well tonight.
KEVIN: I will pitch very well tonight.
BOB: You will throw strikes, go at least seven innings, and not give up any runs.
KEVIN: Yesss. Yesss.
BOB: You will not make the fans disappointed in you, especially Kaybee, Hyun Young, Kylie, and Jen.
KEVIN: Nooooo, wouldn't want to do that. They might say something mean about me in their blogs.
BOB: But most importantly, you will help your team to get a win.
KEVIN (eyes lighting up): W, W, W, W, W, W!!!
BOB: Yeah, I think you've got it. Next!
Kevin walks out of the room, slightly dazed, muttering, "A win, a win, throw strikes, winning…"
Next up is Adrian Gonzalez, who has not been hitting very well lately.
BOB: You are getting veerrrry sleeeepppy.
ADRIAN: Oh yes, I am terribly tired. I've played in every single game this season, you know. Even the WBC and the Home Run Derby and the All-Star Game!!
BOB: Er, just relax Adrian. Now, you will hit a home run tonight.
ADRIAN (yawning): I will hit a home run tonight.
BOB: You will not leave runners on base.
ADRIAN: zzzzzz…
BOB: Adrian, wake up!!
ADRIAN: I'm sorry, could I go take a nap? I've only got a few hours before the game and I want to play my best for Kaybee, Hyun Young, Kylie, and Jen.
BOB: Sure, Adrian. Sweet dreams.
Next is David Eckstein.
BOB: You are getting veeeerrry sleeeeepppy. You will heal from your injury ASAP!!
ECK: I'mmmm tryyying.
BOB: You will sign at least one autograph for Hyun Young before the game today.
ECK: Ah, yes, my biggest fan!
BOB: And you must come off the DL soon!!
ECK: Working on it.
Kevin Kouzmanoff was next.
BOB: You are getting veeeerrry sleeeepppy. You will hit at least one home run and play very very well tonight.
KOUZ: Play very well…
BOB: You will make spectacular defensive plays and do all you can to help the team win.
KOUZ: I love winning.
BOB: You will be very nice to Kaybee and all her friends.
KOUZ: Oh yes…
BOB: And you must strike photo-worthy poses all night at third base. Kaybee will be taking a lot of pictures of you.
KOUZ: Does my hair look OK?
BOB: It looks fine. Now remember, winning is the key. You have to win tonight. You must!
Then Bob gathered the whole team together and gave them one simple request:
"You will win tonight's game."
Let's hope that worked🙂
Anyways, as I'm sure you know, I am going to the game today thanks to Hyun Young, who bought me a very good ticket. We're going to have a great time cheering for our Padres together, and I can't wait!! It's all I can think about, and I know we're going to have a blast.
Kevin Correia is going to be pitching against Jason Hammel. I think Correia is going to have a great game, and now that he's been hypnotised to a winning theme, he's definitely going to pitch very, very well.
8 Comments
It will work! I know it will! Have a GREAT time at the game tonight and I'll be rooting for your boys tonight!!!!
Oh my gosh, this is a great, great post! I love it! Hopefully Kouz will hit a homerun and pose so you can take great pictures of him🙂 I'll be freaking out if Eck will even be out there. Kevin Correia will do a great job. AHHH! Only few more hours!
Sounds like you two will have a fun time. I hope that your Padres win and win big. Then you two can celebrate together. By the way,, could you hypnotize my Dodgers pitchers?? Somehow they have to get past the first inning! Stay safe you two!!
Tough series. The Rox played pretty well, and you guys really toughed it out.
I read Kylie's blog and it sounds like you all had a good time. I hope that's true. And I hope that you can get these Padres to believe that they aren't all that bad of a team and to start playing like a winner!
I'm not so sure that hypnotism will work but you can hope for the best.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivers a speech "Frontlines and Frontiers: Making Human Rights a Human Reality" at Dublin City University in the Irish capital Thursday.
In an emotional speech as she nears the end of her term of office, Hillary Clinton warned there would be "many sacrifices and losses" before daughters were "valued as sons" across the world, according to reporters traveling with the secretary of state.
Clinton, speaking Thursday at Dublin City University in Ireland, was given a humanitarian award by the non-governmental organization Concern Worldwide, whose chief executive Tom Arnold hailed her as "one of the greatest" secretaries of state "in the history of the Republic."
Clinton spoke about what human rights meant to her personally, describing what it was like to be a female official visiting male-dominated countries.
"As the mother of a daughter, and as someone who believes strongly in the right of every person, male and female, to have the opportunity to live up to his or her God-given potential," Clinton said, "it pains me so greatly when I travel to places around the world and am received almost as an exception to the rule, where the male leaders meet with me because I am the secretary of state of the United States, overlooking the fact that I also happen to be a woman."
"We are on the right side of history in this struggle, but there will be many sacrifices and losses until we finally reach a point where daughters are valued as sons, where girls as educated as boys, where women are encouraged and permitted to make their contributions to their families, to their societies just as the men are," she added.
'Moved' by Pakistan schoolgirl's story
Clinton, who opened the school's new conflict resolution institute, picked out the case of Malala Yousufzai, a Pakistani schoolgirl shot by a Taliban gunman over her outspoken belief that girls should receive an education. Her activism started in 2008, when she was about 11 years old, and she wrote a blog for BBC News about her experiences.
"All of us were moved by the story of the young Pakistani girl, Malala, who was targeted by the Taliban for the effrontery for going to school — more than that, speaking out for the rights of girls in Pakistan to go to school," Clinton said.
'We are strong': Malala's wounded friends back in Pakistan school
"She was miraculously spared from being literally shot in the face and is making what appears to be an excellent recovery," she added. "For every young woman whose name comes to our attention, there are countless others who suffer in silence, who face cultural and social and religious barriers to their human rights and dignity."
Clinton said she did not mind that she had been called an idealist and also a realist.
"In reality, I think we all need to be more of a hybrid, perhaps idealistic realists," she said. "Because leading effectively cannot be done without our values. And a great deal of what is happening today bears that out."
Complete World coverage on NBCNews.com
Clinton, who is standing down as secretary of state, said she had traveled to more "far-flung places than I could have imagined as a young girl growing up in the middle of America in the decades that followed World War II."
"And I must say that among the most striking things that I have learned is how much we have in common," she said. "I've sat down with people everywhere, discussing what was in their hearts and on their minds. And it doesn't take long to find commonality which is often overlooked, ignored, dismissed, and rejected otherwise."
Clinton chokes up
Clinton choked up a little when speaking about "a great friend of mine," Inez McCormack, a labor leader in Northern Ireland who she said had worked to bring peace and reconciliation to an area blighted by sectarian conflict.
"Inez lives in Derry, where she's fighting cancer, and I called her before coming here to check in on her, and asked her how she was doing," she said. "She's very brave and putting up with all the treatments, knowing that it's a hard road for her. And she did not want to talk about herself; she wanted to talk about her daughter, who moved up the date of her wedding, which made her very happy."
Dozens of police hurt in Northern Ireland sectarian clashes
"But she wanted to talk about how we had to keep working to bring people together so that they would recognize the common humanity and experience in the other," Clinton added.
Clinton was due to travel to Northern Ireland Friday to lend support to a fragile peace that was one of the greatest successes of her husband's presidency.
Cops hurt as British unionist protesters try to storm Belfast City Hall in flag spat

Regular Season Ends With A Walk-Off Win
The regular season is over for the Phillies and they closed it out with a win against the Marlins for a final season record of 93-69. And as usual, it was not without high drama; oh, and extra innings too. If we have learned anything over the years, it is that the Phillies do nothing the easy way.
Most of the bench players and rookies got some time in today to make their final bid for a post-season roster spot. Miguel Cairo made his case, going 2 for 4 with 1 RBI and a triple that tied up the game when he scored after a throwing error by the Fish. Ben Francisco went 2 for 3 with an RBI and a walk, however, he was picked off trying to steal THREE times. No kidding. Another thing we learned today? Francisco is not allowed to attempt a steal…ever.
The pitching was a bit trickier. JA Happ was only allowed to pitch 2 innings to save his arm for the post-season. Sadly, he allowed 2 runs in the 1st inning which bumped his ERA up to 2.93 for the season. Still, that and his 12 wins were an amazing feat for the rookie.
Kyle Kendrick may have pitched his way off the roster as he allowed 3 runs in 2 2/3 innings. The lefty Sergio Escalona looked a little shaky too as he allowed a runner to score, although it was charged to Brett Myers.
But the real drama unfolded in the 10th inning. Jayson Werth stepped to the plate with a runner in scoring position and 1 RBI needed to reach 100 for the season. In a shallow and classless act, the Marlins manager intentionally walked Werth, taking away any shot he had at the milestone. This game was meaningless to both teams, except for possibly a moral victory. The Marlins had nothing to gain or lose. In that case, an intentional walk is uncalled for and ruins the spirit of competition.
Add to that, the Marlins pitcher who was told to walk Werth was Dan Meyer, a Philadelphia-area native who grew up in a nearby town, rooting for the Phillies. He likely had tons of friends and family there to watch him, and what did they get to see? Their hometown hero boo'ed mercilessly by an upset crowd who wanted to see the game played out the way it was meant to. Poor Meyer! This kid did not deserve to be put in that position. Manager Fredi Gonzalez, you should be ashamed of yourself!
So Werth went without the 100 RBI mark, but the Phillies ended on a positive note. Some guy named Paul who?…I mean, Paul Hoover, the 3rd catcher who spent the whole year in the minors, got the winning, walk-off infield single to score John Mayberry Jr. and end the game with a final score of 7-6. The crowd exploded and the Phillies pummeled Hoover in adulation.
Afterwards, the players ran around the field tossing balls and t-shirts to the crowd in thanks for their support. Shane Victorino threw a ball all the way to the upper deck, into the broadcast booth and announcer, Tom McCarthy caught it on the fly.
The celebration is over now and the real work begins. The Phillies will take on the Rockies Wednesday; game time has been announced and it is 2:37pm…yuck! Hey, thanks again MLB…right in the middle of the day while most normal people are at work. Just sayin'.
Here is the Photo Album from today's game. Go Phillies!

I still remember the trick the Phillies played on Kendrick, "Where they traded him to Japan." Poor guy. That was like top vid on Youtube. : ) Wonderful post.
Not quite the storybook ending (for the Marlins at least) but I'm sure you aren't sweatin' it, eh? Now the real drama begins, Jenn. Here we go!
You're right, Jenn. The Phillies haven't been making it easy on you! But all that hugging and jumping up and down at the end makes it all worthwhile. Or should I say "werthwhile?" Onto the playoffs!
ya, what a bummer for Jayson. That RBI could have been so huge for him. He's a class act.. I'm sure he figured it was just part of the game strategy.. although, like you.. I felt it was a sad move.
I love the players that at the end are making statements like "Pick me skipper!" Padilla had 10 strikeouts in yesterday's game. Tough decisions for some managers who to add/drop.
What a way to excite and get people pumped for the playoffs.
Not only do you get an extra inning game, but get a walk-off to boost not only the crowd but the players' confidence levels going into the NLDS.
It could not have been planned or presented better for the Phillies, and they derseve every second of it.
To get back to the playoffs is hard enough, but to come in with a emotional high after a win like that can only help the team get ready for the fight ahead of them………..Way to go!
Rays Renegade
Congratulations to your Phillies and good luck against the Rockies.
All our teams made it stressful at the end. Good luck as the playoff start. And stop on by – I have photos up of my wearing a t-shirt from the "evil empire"…yeah….I lost another wager….

- Title
- Joint allocation of transmit power levels and degrees of freedom to links in a wireless network
- Author(s)
- Thanabalasingham, Thaya; Hanly, Stephen V.; Andrew, Lachlan L. H.
- Abstract
- In this paper, we study a wireless network that has constant or slow-varying data rate requirements. The transmitters transmit to multiple receivers. The allocation of degrees of freedom (orthogonal codes, spectrum or time-slots) is based on a weight vector that is associated with each transmitter. The weight vector will specify how the degrees of freedom should be shared between the receivers associated with the transmitter. This model applies not only to the downlink of a cellular network, but also to more general wireless networks, including multi-hop networks. We devise two distributed algorithms in order to determine the minimal power allocation for the transmitters that will meet the data rate requirement between each transmitter-receiver pair. The main feature of our algorithms is that they can be executed at each transmitter independently with local information.

Historic Vermont hotel fire is remembered 40 years laterHERALD File Photo
City firefighters brave subzero temperatures trying to get the Hotel Berwick fire under control in January 1973.
The worst fire in Rutland Citys history broke out 40 years ago this month at a former four-story hotel, leaving a hole that has yet to be filled in the middle of downtown Rutland.
Five people died in the Hotel Berwick fire at the corner of Wales and Center streets one of them because he went to fetch a pair of shoes.
The years since the massive blaze have made it hard for Edward Dalto, 79, to remember all the details of that chaotic night. But the former Rutland firefighter said he still recalls the role he played in helping two people escape a fourth-floor room as well as a man he said was left behind because he chose to run a fatal errand.
Dalto was a 39-year-old fireman when the call to suit up came in early on the morning of Sunday, Jan. 7, 1973.
The truck he drove to the corner of Wales and Center streets was the first fire vehicle on the scene and he and other members of the crew spent the first few minutes helping people move off the fire escapes.
Renovations were taking place at the Berwick (also known, briefly, as the Town House), but 28 residents still lived there when the fire broke out. Many were pouring out of rooms and windows on the Center Street side of the building when firefighters arrived.
A fatal errand
Dalto said he remembered going alone to see if people were trapped in the upper floors on the buildings west side.
I was a little beyond the Townhouse Restaurant on the first floor when I glanced up and could see the silhouette of two people on the fourth floor, he recalled.
Dalto and two other firefighters, Michael Walsh and Ray Mooney, fetched a ladder and hoisted it up against the building. Dalto said he climbed to the top and yelled into the room but heard no answer.
I was gonna go in when I saw the shadow of a guy and I reached in, grabbed him and pulled him out, Dalto said. He came out onto the ladder on his back and there was a lady hanging on to his legs at the other end. ... She was shouting something, but it was so loud I couldnt hear.
Dalto and the other firefighters also had their hands full at the time getting the man and woman to safety.
It wasnt until after they were all on the ground that Dalto said the woman told him another man had been with them but he left to fetch her shoes.
I said We got to go back up. But the guy standing next to me said Were not going back up, Dalto said. I looked and saw red light coming out of the window.
The retired firefighter said he no longer remembers the name of the two people he rescued or of the man left behind on the fourth floor. But he said he was sure that the unknown man who chased after the womans shoes never left the Berwick alive.
If he had stayed there (with the other two people) it could have been possible that he would have made it, Dalto said.
and volunteers
Four others died in the fire that night, but most occupants escaped through the efforts of firefighters and volunteers.
Thomas LaFond came to the scene as one of more than 1,000 bystanders that night.
But since he was one of the first on the scene, LaFond, now the citys retired parking enforcement officer, was asked to help firefighters lift ladders into place.
He said he had a chance to witness what several former firefighters described as the last use of a net to catch upper-floor fire jumpers in U.S. history. Charles Butler, 69, couldnt reach a ladder and tumbled from a fourth-story window. Butler and one of the men holding the net were injured in the fall.
LaFond was also injured in the rescue when the ladder he was positioning for Butler snapped shut on his finger, all but severing the digit. A lot of people put themselves in harms way that night, he said.
Among those in danger was Rutland Herald reporter Nick Marro, who remembers hanging precariously from the building next door on Center Street to get an iconic shot that ran on the newspapers front page the next day.
I was hanging off the sign on Wilsons Sports when I took that shot, Marro recalled, referring to the downtown building that was most recently home to Ladabouche Furniture.
That building with its exterior firewall is credited by retired Rutland Fire Lt. Ray Mooney with sparing the rest of the wooden Center Street buildings from sharing the same fate as the Berwick.
But the preservation of the downtown was far from a certain thing for Mooney and other city firefighters who engaged in a desperate battle to contain the inferno.
Close calls
Few injuries were reported among those who fought the blaze, but Mooney said there were plenty of close calls. He said he remembers being in the basement of the nearby Rutland Herald building, fighting flames that had spread to the Mercury Building another structure owned by the Herald that was connected to the newspaper via a tunnel.
When the Mercury building collapsed, Mooney said he and another firefighter barely escaped.
We were running with embers flying all around us, he said. We were stunned afterward. It was just unbelievable.
The Mercury Building wasnt the only building adjacent to the Berwick that was destroyed. On the Center Street side, another shop was consumed by flames. The heat from the inferno was so intense that LaFond remembers feeling it baking through brick walls and bubbling paint that covered the masonry on the hotels walls.
The light from the towering blaze could be seen from several towns away, witnesses recalled.
Twenty below
But no one who was there can recall the heat without also remembering the cold. Temperatures dropped to 20 below zero during the night and pictures taken the following day show ruins encased in frost and icicles.
A hose let loose and sprayed water all over me, Marro recalled. It froze as soon as it hit me and I couldnt move. It was like being in a block of ice. I had to go home and change my clothes.
The arctic temperature also took its toll on firefighters whose most severe injuries that night were related to weather.
We had frozen ears and stuff like that, retired Rutland Fire Lt. Frank Walsh said. Wilsons Sports opened up his shop and was handing out clothing. We cleaned him out right away of gloves and mittens.
By the morning of Jan. 7 only hot spots under the rubble remained to be doused. But several days of work involving cranes and Vermont National Guard crews were needed to sift through the debris in search of human remains.
The remaining walls of the great hotel were knocked down; the bricks and mortar, wood and shattered glass were hauled away, leaving an empty foundation that looks today much like it did 40 years ago.
Grim reminder
Over the years, the Pit the popular name for the hole in the ground that remains at the corner of Center and Wales streets has been the subject of numerous inquiries, according to Catherine Nelson, general manager at the Rutland Herald.
Weve had multiple developers ask about the site, but theres nothing concrete in the works, she said.
During the last decade, the Rutland County Community Land Trust announced plans to build a four-story building on the site that would include room for its offices, the Rutland Free Library, Community College of Vermont classrooms and affordable housing units.
But that proposal never got off the ground and CCV recently moved into a new building at the corner of West and Wales streets.
For now and the foreseeable future, the Pit will continue to function the way it has for years as a public parking lot leased to the city by the newspaper for a dollar annually and as a grim reminder of that horrific fire four decades ago.

Government Green Energy Leech Calls for Death of Critics
Be careful when relaying information relating to the massive sums of money our rulers are flushing down green energy boondoggles — unless you want sociopathic moonbats like Kerrilee Ann Crosby calling for your death:
A woman angered by a Watchdog investigation into the government lab where she works retaliated by threatening mass murder against this news organization in several Twitter posts.
"Have you ever felt like going on a murderous rampage? Start at @WatchdogCO 's offices. They perpetuate lies like this," Kerrilee Ann Crosby tweeted last month while working at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
Crosby even went so far as to accuse Watchdog of being the "Fox News of blogs" — the ultimate insult from a leftist pod person. Here's how they reached her boiling point:
Crosby, 34, was responding to a Watchdog story detailing massive spending at the secret government lab, a Jimmy Carter initiative to push green energy. NREL and the two companies that manage its activities have received more than $1 billion from taxpayers since 2010 alone. Top executives at the lab earn well into six figures. NREL's top manager, Dan Arvizu, makes close to $1 million per year. His two top lieutenants rake in more than $500,000 each and nine others make more than $350,000 a year.
Watchdog responded to her bloodthirsty bile by wondering why someone from the Columbine/Aurora area would advocate mass murder. Her curt response:
"Because you deserve to die."
Big Unions aren't the only ones who will shriek like scalded cats at the mere suggestion that their ride on the gravy train that is bankrupting the country won't last forever.
NREL is funded with money stolen from you, via the corrupt farce calling itself the Department of Energy.

- Project methods as the framework for undergraduate design education: a systems-based study of congruence, commonality and variation
- Author(s)
- Lee, Nicolette Delphine
- Abstract
- Over recent years there has been much debate regarding the nature of undergraduate design education, but very little in the way of empirical research. The purpose of the research study reported in this thesis was to develop an empirically grounded explanation of undergraduate design education curriculum. Projects, traditionally used as the organising mechanism of the design curriculum, were the focus of the study. Taking into account the complex and situated nature of the curriculum, systems theory was used as the underlying conceptual framework for the study. Based at a faculty of design in an Australian metropolitan university, a qualitative case study approach was taken to the research. This focused on a set of four unit of study cases and six project cases, including curriculum from graphic, digital media, product and interior design programs. Data were collected from a variety of sources within those cases, including program documents, observations of classes, learning and teaching documentation, and interviews with teachers. A series of analyses of the curriculum were carried out, each using a distinct lens. First, the data were analysed for categorisation of components of the curriculum. Findings from this analysis were used to generate a systems-based curriculum model. This model was then used as an organising mechanism for the subsequent analyses. These iterations of analysis were used to identify, respectively: internal logic (congruence) among the components in each project case; common characteristics across the project cases, and; variation across the project cases. Findings demonstrated that there was general congruence within the project cases, indicating an overall alignment of learning objectives, learning activities, resources, and assessment. There were also some areas of dissonance, including striking challenges with the articulation of key concepts and establishing a balance between student and teacher roles in relation to the projects. The analysis of commonalities resulted in a definition of projects in the design education context. In the final analysis, of variation between projects, distinct differences in scale, complexity and roles were found between the project cases. These differences formed the basis of a project methods typology. The findings from this study constitute a significant contribution to the literature on design education practice and project methods. Of demonstrable significance to practitioners, the curriculum model and analysis of congruence provide guidance to teachers in the complexity of alignment issues in the development and enactment of curriculum. The definition of projects in this context substantially extends on the current literature on project methods, while the demonstration of similarities between the broader educational literature and design education provides a 'bridging' language, supporting greater cross-disciplinary educational debate and development. Finally, the typology provides a starting point for decision-making with regard to the selection of appropriate levels of projects for different learning purposes.

KCG confirms hire of UBS equities star
KCG Holdings, the US-based electronic market making specialist, has confirmed the hire of UBS's former global head of cash equities to lead its European business.
Phil Allison, most recently European head of equities and global head of cash equities at UBS, is to join KCG later this year as its European chief executive, according to a memo sent to all KCG staff today. Financial News revealed his departure from UBS late last month.
The move, rumoured around the time of his March exit, remains subject to regulatory approval. A spokeswoman for KCG confirmed the contents of the memo but declined to comment further.
Daniel Coleman, KCG's chief executive, wrote in the internal memo that Allison's "significant leadership experience, client relationships and deep understanding of both client and quantitative trading will be incredibly valuable as we expand KCG's European footprint".
Allison joins a growing list of former UBS executives at KCG and was once regarded as a protegé of Coleman, a former global head of equities at UBS, while the two worked together at the Swiss bank. Allison will now report directly to Coleman.
KCG's global head of equities trading, John DiBacco, spent 14 years at UBS where his responsibilities included US ETF trading, US program trading, US derivative trading and global electronic volatility trading. Its chief risk officer, Nick Ogurtsov, was previously global head of UBS's high-frequency electronic trading team, called EMM Group. Ryan Primmer, KCG's global head of fixed income, foreign exchange and commodities trading, was a former global head of equities proprietary trading at UBS.
KCG was created last July through a $1.4 billion merger of HFT firm Getco and US broker Knight Capital and has been seeking a new European chief executive since the departure of Robert Smith last October. In the interim, Albert Maasland has served as the group's head of Europe in addition to his role as co-head of global execution services and global head of hotspot, KCG's electronic FX platform.
Maasland will transition back to that role "as he shifts his focus back to leading KCG's European client business, his efforts will continue to be a critical component of our overall strategy".
Since its formation, KCG has outlined a three-pronged strategy focusing on agency execution, market making and the operation of electronic trading platforms. While the majority of its revenues come from market making it is targeting growth in its agency business. In particular, it is eyeing outsourced agreements with regional European banks struggling to meet the costs of running an in-house execution platform.
In the memo today, Coleman said: " This is an exciting time for our European team. We are focused on further penetrating the European bank and brokerage community with our agency execution and market-making offerings. [Allison] will help us leverage insights derived from our significant trading and market-making acumen for the benefit of our clients."
Allison joined UBS from university in 1997. In 2002, he was named to lead the bank's global statistical trading group and, later, the algorithmic and automated trading client businesses in Europe and the US. He became head of European client trading and execution in 2008. His most recent appointments were in May 2010 as global head of cash equities and March 2012 as European head of equities.

By Bob Huber: Local Columnist
Recently I spent an hour in the company of lofty mathematics as part of mind-boggling research into the whims of the zodiac. I was seeking the ultimate horoscope.
Don't take me wrong. I've never been convinced that success and romance can be had by reading the stars. It's just that part of my background dictates that I try to get along with everyone and follow that old Latin bromide, "Modus Vivendi," which means, "We can get along if we don't see each other very much."
So following much confusion over which end of the telescope to put to my eye, I finally came up with star-studded guidelines to the future, complete with birth data and the color socks you should wear this year.
(Author's note: Soothsaying should not be tried in the home without consulting writers of short, humorous pieces. Call or write for fees.)
Here then is a horoscope for you for the remainder of 2005. If you've already messed up this year, call your lawyer or preacher, whichever is applicable.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you get fired this year or the horn blows at midnight, don't blame it on Wal-Mart. It's simply a bad year for Aquarians. As a matter of fact, this would be a good time to move to Cincinnati and raise sheep. You should wear red socks.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you're looking for sympathy this year, catch a summer cold. But don't get carried away. No one likes a runny nose, especially on windy days. Stay downwind. Socks: Brown.
ARIES (March 2l-April 19): Folks will be put off by your aggressive, take-over attitude, but stick with it anyway. After all, it's the first time you've successfully asserted yourself. Next year you can relax and revert back to your normal wishy-washy self and remain that way the rest of your life. Socks: Yellow.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Enthusiasm over your latest endeavor could go a long way this year toward purging your name from Christmas card lists. No matter. Most folks can't spell pornography anyway. Socks: Skin Tones.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Join the national trend toward curbing extravagance. Mortgage your house to pay for your next SUV tank full. Then take the rest of the year off and go hunting mountain lions with a pen knife. Above all, avoid stress. Socks: Crimson.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Demand that everyone around you do their fair share this year. Then go fishing. Don't take any guff about it. Remember it's the squeaky wheel that makes folks cover their ears and grind their teeth. Socks: Blue.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You pulled a dumb stunt when you told your spouse what he or she could do with this year. Don't think you can get by with a simple apology. But don't get carried away and grovel. Maintain a little dignity. Socks: Green.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might try hitching your wagon to a star this year, but avoid clichés. On the other hand, you could bury your head in the sand and avoid everything, including other ostriches. Remember, games may be lost, but cheerleaders are a guy's best friend. Socks: Black.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): It's an ill wind that blows the TV antenna off your roof this year, but you can always buy a lottery ticket or read dirty e-mail messages. The main thing is, clean up your garage. What a mess. Socks: Fuchsia.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Baby showers and women in red play havoc with your budget this year. Do something about your allergy to children, or at least find a new excuse. Market your creations, even if no one wants a dried cow pie or a road-killed raccoon. Remember, they didn't appreciate Elvis at first. Socks: Avoid orange.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I can't tell you Sagittarians much about 2005, because that's your nature. You might try a drink to mellow out, but be careful. Some Sagittarians get whimsical after one drink, but give them two and oh boy! Hint: After four martinis you won't care if you're mellow or not. Socks: Pink, like in elephants.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Most Capricorns will get fidgety this year and scared of the dark, especially when they have to take the dog out in the back yard at night in pajamas. My suggestion, get a long extension cord. Or better yet, get rid of the dog. Go barefoot this year, but avoid backyards. Socks: Don't wear any.
