Bill McNeil and Fernando Flores in the Daily Journal: The Effect of Arbitration Agreements on Low-Wage Workers
On April 3rd the state Supreme Court heard oral argument in Sonic-Calabasas A., Inc. v. Frank Moreno and considered the preemptive reach of the Federal Arbitration Act as it relates to the ability of claimants to pursue their claim using the labor commissioner's "Berman" process. In an article in the Daily Journal, LAS-ELC attorneys Bill McNeill and Fernando Flores explain that the court's decision could potentially prevent workers from utilizing the accessible and affordable administrative forum, and could instead require them to participate in the costly and complicated arbitration process when their employers subvert basic labor protections.
In [Sonic-Calabasas A., Inc. v. Frank Moreno], 15 Cal. 4th 659 (2011), judgment vacated 132 S. Ct. 496 (2011), the state Supreme Court originally ruled that the administrative process cannot be preempted by an arbitration clause. The decision specified that an employer cannot compel its employees to relinquish their statutory right to pursue a claim using the administrative process as a condition of employment. The court recognized this as an "unwaivable right."
Sonic-Calabasas then filed a petition for writ of [certiorari] with the U.S. Supreme Court, asking the court to vacate and remand the state Supreme Court ruling in light its decision in [AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion], 131 S.Ct 1740 (2011). In [Concepcion], the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a consumer contract that contained a waiver of class action arbitrations. The court concluded that that the FAA preempts a state law that forbids waiver of class action arbitration. [Sonic-Calabasas] is yet another decision that could elevate the role of arbitration at the expense of access to justice.
Over the past 25 years, the range of disputes subject to binding arbitration — particularly as a result of pre-dispute arbitration agreements — has grown dramatically. The U.S. Supreme Court has issued a series of arbitration-related decisions on such topics as the availability of class arbitration; the preemptive effect of the scope of judicial review of arbitral awards under the FAA; the enforceability of mandatory pre-dispute arbitration agreements; and the arbitrability of public law claims.
These often controversial rulings have had an enormous impact on business, consumers and the workplace, and have transformed the dispute resolution landscape. Somewhat lost in the discussion is the likely impact of these decisions on working poor people. Low-wage workers frequently face wage theft and workplace retaliation that directly threaten their basic livelihood. These same workers often find it difficult to access a judicial forum due to prohibitive costs, complex processes and language barriers.
Nonexempt employees in low-wage industries across California often use the labor commissioner's Berman process to redress wage and hour violations, particularly violations of basic labor protections such as the minimum wage. Under the statutory framework provided by Labor Code Section 98 [et seq.], upon the filing of a wage claim by a worker, the labor commissioner is authorized to investigate the claim, conduct hearings and issue orders in an effort to resolve the complaint. These proceedings are accessible to low-wage workers because they provide interpreters and multi-lingual claim forms, and does not require a filing fee. Should mandatory arbitration clauses foreclose low-wage workers' ability to pursue their claims through the labor commissioner, workers will lose an affordable and effective forum in which to pursue their claims.
In recognition that many employees in low-wage industries are immigrants, the labor commissioner provides its claim form in seven different languages (English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog and Punjabi). Additionally, there is no filing fee, and if the claimant requires an interpreter, one will be provided. During hearings, procedural and evidentiary rules are informal, reducing the need for legal representation. Unrepresented workers generally face minimal, if any, procedural roadblocks in pursuing their claims, as the labor commissioner guides all parties through the Berman process. Removing these impediments allows workers a means to adjudicate their claims.
Compared to the Berman process, arbitration is costly, procedurally more complex, and does not provide for interpreter services. The American Arbitration Association's Employment Arbitration Rules are provided in English and Spanish only. Although the rules are more relaxed than state and federal court, parties still face procedural hurdles. For example, Employment Arbitration Rule 8 requires that an Arbitration Management Conference be held, at which the matters to be considered include "the law, standards, rules of evidence, and burdens of proof that are to apply to the proceeding; ... the scope of witness testimony and witness exclusion; ... the value of bifurcating the arbitration into a liability phase and damages phase; ... [and] the extent to which documentary evidence may be submitted at the hearing ... ." Each of these issues carries significant value in advancing a claimant's case. Low-wage workers are generally unable to secure counsel and are required to make strategic legal decisions on their own. This will put them at a serious disadvantage in an arbitral forum.
It is important to note that low-wage workers are usually not aware that they have entered into an arbitration agreement when they begin a job, as these clauses are often buried at the bottom of a contract or other binding document. Whether set forth in an employment manual or job application, the terms of arbitration are usually not stated clearly and are often not in a worker's native language. If individuals like these are prevented from pursuing their claims through the labor commissioner and are unable to obtain counsel, they will instead have to engage in a costly and complex process that presents challenges for even seasoned attorneys.
By way of history, the U.S. Supreme Court has previously recognized that a claimant could argue that an arbitration agreement is unenforceable because an unfair aspect of the arbitration process precludes that party from vindicating her statutory rights. [Mitsubishi Motors Corp. v. Soler Chrysler-Plymouth, Inc.], 473 U.S. 614, 637 (1995) In [Gilmer v. Interstate/Johnson Lane Corp.], the court noted that arbitration would not be allowed where it fails to include appropriate safeguards in terms of fair procedure and remedies that would ensure substantive statutory protections.
The court subsequently expanded on that theme. In [Green Tree Financial Corp.-Alabama v. Randolph], the plaintiff claimed that the potential for excessive forum fees she could incur if she was required to go to arbitration prevented her from vindicating her statutory rights. The Supreme Court held that "claims arising under a statute designed to further important social policies may be arbitrated so long as the prospective litigant effectively may vindicate [her] statutory cause of action in the arbitral forum." [Green Tree], 531 U.S. at 90 (internal quotation marks omitted). And the court adopted a case-by-case approach to this issue, holding that parties bear the burden of establishing that costs will be prohibitive. The court seemed to recognize that excessive or overly burdensome forum fees, if proven, might bar a court from enforcing an arbitration agreement on the grounds. Similarly, in [Sonic-Calabasas], the court should not overlook the burden that arbitration costs may impose on low-wage workers.
Although the discussion surrounding the rise in arbitration agreements has largely focused on the fundamental attributes of arbitration and the FAA's preemptive reach in the context of state and federal laws, the potential impact of foreclosing venues like the labor commissioner to California's low-wage working population should not be forgotten. When the California Supreme Court hears [Sonic-Calabasas], the justices must consider how the court's decision will impact low-wage workers and their access to affordable and appropriate governmental forums. Denying low-wage workers administrative remedies will effectively deprive them of access to justice and will prevent them from vindicating their statutory rights.

Arline E. TuckerFebruary 25,2013
Arline E. Tucker
Arline E. Tucker
LOWER GRANITEVILLE Arline Ewen Tucker, 88, of Orchard Terrace, passed away peacefully on Feb. 18, 2013, at Rowan Court Health and Rehab in Barre, where she had been a resident since Feb. 7. Born Sept. 30, 1924, in Lower Graniteville, to Robert and Christina (McLeod) Ewen, she lived her entire life in Lower Graniteville, except for a brief period in Barre during World War II. She attended school in Lower Graniteville and was a graduate of Spaulding High School, class of 1942. On July 19, 1946, she married Cecil Pete Tucker in the Graniteville Presbyterian Church.
She worked as bookkeeper at Allen Lumber Co. in Barre from 1942-1946; as a stenographer at Reynolds & Son in Barre from 1960-1961; and was Dr. Ernest V. Reynolds head bookkeeper from 1968 until 1996. She collected the water rent for the Graniteville Fire District No. 4 for 50 years. She was president of the PTA and was a Cub Scout den mother and Brownie and Girl Scout leader. Arline was a lifelong member of the Graniteville Presbyterian Church where she was an elder, clerk of the session, member of the Friendship Forum and the Womens Guild, organist and Sunday school superintendent for many years. Due to her diligence and example, many Sunday school students learned the books of the Bible and where to find them quickly.
Arline was a life member of the Order of the Eastern Star for over 50 years, was past matron of Ruth Chapter No. 33, and most recently a member of Charity Chapter No. 57 in Williamstown. In 1978-1979, she was the worthy grand matron of the Grand Chapter of Vermont, traveling over 25,000 miles that year, visiting every chapter in the state. For many years, she and Pete enjoyed camping with the National Camping Travelers Masonic group, frequently bringing along their grandsons Robert and Daniel.
So very proud of her Scottish heritage and her clan, MacLeod of Lewis, Arline and Pete made several trips to Scotland, visiting her extended family and sites she had heard so much about from her ancestors. Every Christmas, she made Scottish shortbread and other treats for her gift baskets, and she and her family made mealie puddings for the many Scots who lived in the area. She was a talented seamstress, making her daughters many Easter and Christmas dresses, usually putting on the hems at midnight. She made many specialty, theme birthday cakes for her children over the years. She made everyone welcome into her home and so enjoyed all the folks who stopped by. She spent many happy hours at the farm of her aunt and uncle, Mary and George McLeod, along with her cousins, Vera, Elliott, Tootsie and Mimi.
Besides her loving husband of 66 years, Pete, she is survived by her children and their spouses, Bill and Debbie Tucker, of Los Banos, Calif., and Jane Tucker and Kevin Thompson, of Putnamville, Vt. She is also survived by her grandchildren and their spouses, Heather (Willard) and Neil Parizo, of Holly Springs, N.C., Holly Willard and Paul LaFogg, of Newmarket, N.H., Amber (Tucker) and Jed Caredio, of Collegeville, Pa., Angela Tucker, of Los Banos, Calif., Jimmy Turturici and Sari Smith, of San Jose, Calif., Ronnie Turturici and Caitlin Smith, of Santa Cruz, Calif., Robert and Daniel Thompson, of Putnamville, Vt.; and her great-grandchildren, Taylor Parizo, Haylea Verrastro, Konner, Christian and Kelly Caredio, and Cleo and Pearl Turturici. She is also survived by her sister-in-law and classmate, Marjorie E. Brown, of St. Johnsbury, Vt.; and her brother-in-law, William M. Carr, of Cherry Hill, N.J. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her daughter Mary Ellen Willard in 2002.
Arlines life will be honored and celebrated on Friday, March 1, 2013, at 1 p.m. at the Graniteville Presbyterian Church.
Later interment will be made in the Wilson Cemetery in Barre Town.
Family and friends may call at the Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy St., Barre, on Thursday, Feb. 28, from 6 to 8 p.m.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Graniteville Presbyterian Church, c/o Lynn Murray, P.O. Box 24, Graniteville, VT 05654; or to the Grand Chapter of Vermont ESTARL Fund, c/o Jerri Riegler, 65 Lindale Drive, Colchester, VT 05446.MORE IN ObituariesPaul N. Sourdiff

Senior forward Brock Motum scored a game-high 21 points and senior guard Mike Ladd added 12 as the Washington State University men's basketball team defeated Saint Martin's 62-50, Tuesday in exhibition action at Beasley Coliseum.
Redshirt junior D.J. Shelton (Rialto, Calif.) finished with 9 rebounds and 8 points, while redshirt sophomore Royce Woolridge (Phoenix, Ariz.) reached double-figures with 10 points and had a game-high 3 steals. Woolridge sat out the 2011-12 season due to NCAA rules after transferring from Kansas.
Motum (Brisbane, Australia) added 5 rebounds, while Ladd (Seattle, Wash.) had 7 boards. In all 10 Cougars saw action, including four making their debut in a Washington State uniform. Joining Woolridge were sophomore James Hunter (Sydney, Australia), and freshmen Junior Longrus (Oakland, California) and Brett Boese (Spokane, Wash.).
Roger O'Neill had a team-high 13 points for Saint Martin's, adding 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Matt Dodson was the only other Saint in double figures with 11 points and 6 rebounds. Rei Jensen chipped in 7 points and 7 boards, while Eric Taylor had 3 steals.
"I thought they (Saint Martin's) did a good job," WSU Head Coach Ken Bone said. "They played hard, they played together and I think Saint Martin's deserves a lot of credit for the way they played tonight."
Saint Martin's opened up the game with a 3-pointer less than a minute into action, as it led until the 11:48 mark when a 3-pointer by Motum tied the game at 11. The Cougars took their first lead of the game at 18-15 with 8:10 to go in the half on a 3-pointer by DaVonté Lacy. WSU held onto the lead throughout the rest of the period, leading 28-26 at halftime.
"I think we started off a little slow…but in the second half we picked it up," Motum said. "We didn't finish off the way we should have, but it's an exhibition game, the first game of the season and we've got a lot to learn still. But I think it was a step to improvement and we saw areas we need to improve on."
The Saints opened the second half on a 5-0 run to take a 31-30 lead with 17 minutes to go in the game. A basket by Woolridge gave the Cougars the lead back, 32-31, with 16:51 to go. The Cougars went on to lead by as many as 12 at 47-35 with 9:16 to go and then again at 56-44 with 4:34 to play. WSU reached its largest lead of the game of 16 points at the 2:05 mark, leading 62-46. The Saints scored the final 4 points as the Cougars won by 12 points, 62-50.
The Cougars open the 2012-13 season, Saturday, Nov. 10 against Eastern Washington at 4:30 p.m. at Beasley Coliseum. The game is part of the preliminary rounds of the CBE Hall of Fame Classic and can be seen on the Pac-12 Networks. The WSU basketball game will take place before the Cougar football squad hosts UCLA at Martin Stadium at 7:30 p.m.

Founded in San Francisco in 1968 by a group of artists, the Visual Dialogue Foundation dedicated itself to promoting photography as a fine art through exhibitions and publications. In 1977, Douglas immigrated to Australia, where he teaches photography at the South Australian School of Art in Adelaide. Julio was shot with a medium-format camera, a Bronica 2 1/4. Less bulky than a large-format camera, and therefore easier for the artist to take on location, it nevertheless records a great amount of information and, in this case, matches the artist's perception of a visual world lush with detail and nuance.

Pantry staples work wonders when used in new ways. Try these unexpected applications for everyday ingredients.
Chipotle Chile Powder
With flavor combining fiery, smoky, and chocolate-like nuances, chipotle chile powder finds affinity with a surprising array of foods.Our Secret Twists:
- Reinvent brittle: Give your nut brittle an intriguing, unexpected edge by stirring in 1 to 2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder. We loved it in our Walnut Brittle.
- Add dimension to chocolate dishes: Combining chocolate and chiles is nothing new―think of Mexican mole sauces. Stir a teaspoon of the spice into your favorite brownie batter, devil's food cake, or hot fudge sauce. Or dust a little on top of hot chocolate as you would nutmeg.
- Give veggies a kick: Make a rich compound butter to top green beans, roasted or pureed winter squash, broccoli, or baked sweet potatoes by simply combining 4 tablespoons softened butter with 1 to 1½ teaspoons chipotle chile powder.

IMO Zeke should start Lee at PF and either Frye or Curry at C; thoes three guys together with M. Rose and Butler would give us a nice 5-man-rotation on PF and C.
Wilcox is would be a nice-to-have, but not really necessary.
Unless we trade for a superstar, I believe David Lee deserves to be our starting PF on opening day. Forcing him to become a SF is just not right.
IMO, Frye should start at center with Curry off the bench (hopefully, we could get more out of Curry this way considering he never has much left at the end of a quarter).
Malik Rose and Mo Taylor will eventually be gone, so I don't think they should be taking away key minutes from our kids.
If we are gonna make a trade for a PF before the season starts, it should be for a strong, established PF who defends and rebounds, and there aren't many out there. I don't think Kmart is the answer. Wilcox or Jermaine O'Neal would be nice. If we trade for Al Harrington, he should be used at the 3spot, not the PF.
What ya'll think?

Wilcox is would be a nice-to-have, but not really necessary.
Seeing Jackie wont be here. I say keep what we have unless we can get someone like Alonzo Mourning. I dont see how Wilcox is an improvement at all. You keep Curry at C (with Marbs & Craw running the show he will flourish. Larry kept him doing set plays thats not his gig). and put Lee or Frye at PF.
I like Lee a lot. and he is TOO slow to play the SF. You all say we won when he started there.. well he also couldnt defend anyone at the SF level to save his life. He IS a powerforward a good one at that. The only reason I like Frye at the PF is because he can block shots (which i think he will do more of this year). But seeing Lee in the summer leagues I dont know.. I give slight edge to Frye because of size. 6'11 Curry and 6'11 Frye just sounds so good
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
I still think Curry has it in him to be a star center. If anyone will be able to get the best out of him it'll be Isaiah. Isaiah helped developed Jermaine O'Neal and Al Harrington in Indiana.
C - Curry
PF- Frye
SF- Woods (If we re-sign him)/Lee
SG- Francis
PG- Marbury
with the roster we have now i think our best bet for the starting 5 would be...
our guards should be...
the others we use to trade for a starting sf and that banger pf we're still missing
without a doubt the knicks should get wilcox, i've been saying this for a while, i was always said the knicks should have drafted em, the knicks need wilcox,he is a athletic big man who could run,play D, and he could pick up the slack of eddy curry..wilcox bangs down low and thats wat the knicks need
Channying Frye will start without a doubt at the PF
The starting lineup for the beginning of the season will be:
Marbury at PG
Francis at SG
Curry at C
Frye at PF
Q Rich or Lee at SF
Don't get me wrong, David Lee is one of my favorites but their is no way he will beat Frye at PF and no way that Frye is going to start at Center over Curry. If Lee truely wants some more minutes he has to back up Frye at PF full time or switch to SF, where Q can't handles the job by himself and Balkman who if far from being ready to start.
Nice to see more people here agree that David Lee should be starting at the PF with Frye moving to center.
For those who think Curry deserves to be starting at center, ya'll really believe he'll leave behind his tendency to get too tired after five minutes of play?
Yeah, I know, Isiah is set on starting Frye at PF with Lee possibly starting at SF, but truth is, Lee is better suited for the 4spot; he isn't fast enough to guard the smaller SFs like Richard Jefferson or Carmelo Anthony.
And for those who expect a trade for Kmart, Isiah can pull the trigger on a trade for the fugazzi by simply giving up our expiring deals (Mo and Rose), but he prefers shipping out Francis, something Denver will not accept.
This means that Francis will be a starter when November rolls around in an attempt to attract interest in him from other teams for the february 2006 deadline.
I repeat, we need Lee's rebounding prowess at the PF spot.
Nevertheless, I would welcome a trade for Lewis and Wilcox, with Frye and Francis as bait.
desde la cuna del chango
Isiah can pull the trigger YES.. but he wont with that true. Denver doesnt want Steve Francis because Carmelo and Francis dont get along simple as that.
Once again we dont need Chris Wilcox. He's an athletic big scorer, remind why do we need another scorer? He doesn't get blocks so what purpose does he have? I like him yes. but hes not a necessity. Keep Frye.
Curry WILL be our starting Center and he WILL be in shape. The main reason we arent making many moves and also are trying to get Ariza back I believe is that Isiah wants to prove (stubbornly) that he can win with this exact squad. He will start Curry, he'll start Frye. Rose. Francis and Marbs just so he can prove that. He wont make but one starting lineup change unless injury comes around.
Frye to start. Stop this rant about lets trade him before his value goes down. This kid was playing great ball until Larry messed with him, who knows what he can be. Or cant be. Its a risk worth taking with him.
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
If David Lee had a consistent jumpshot and was a little taller or stronger I'd say start him at the 4.. But Frye has better shotblocking potential, much more range and size. His shooting should help free things up for Curry, plus with Marbury and Francis, we need Frye's outside shot for spacing...Like I've said a thousand times b4, I've seen this kid knockdown 3's, he is a "pure shooter" at the 4, and the reason why he struggled defensively I felt was because he was a rookie and Brown only played man to man...If we don't put Lee at the 3, he'd be great coming off the bench at the 4 with Robinson, Crawford and Balkman since Thomas wants to play uptempo, our second unit would be able to run with anybody since Balkman and Lee fill the lanes and finish so well...
Everybody's an expert
on what everybody else
should be doing
Furious Lord, who you've seen knocking down 3's... Frye?
The only times I saw him shoot a 3ball, I could've sworn it was Dennis Rodman firing away, with one elbow pointing towards Iraq and the other to North Korea... Channing attempted 9 three-pointers in 2005 (only made 3) and it was a dog-ugly stroke, jejejeje.
Don't get me wrong, Channing has a sweet shot from mid-range and from the charity stripe, it's just that I'd like to see Curry off the bench (considering he get tired easily) and Frye in the middle. David Lee's rebounding with Frye by his side should improve our rebounding numbers. Curry off the bench should be able to make more damage on the other team's defense.
David's jumpshot has improved a ton this offseason (did ya'll know he led all rookies last year in FG%?). His long arms and vertical allow him to play much bigger.
desde la cuna del chango
This Is Off The Subject, But What Do Ya'll Think Of Center Paul Muller ? He Did A Good Job In Summer League With The Knicks. Instead Of Resigning Butler Is It A Possibillty Zeke Is Interested In Miller.
Miller Averaged 13.1pts, 6.6rbs In His Senior Year At Wichita State

Play the young guys and rookies, DO NOT ADD 1$ OF PAYROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i really cannot stress that pont enough), Let the expiring contracts expire and keep and/or protect our future first rounders. Maybe by 2010 we mightbe headed in the right direction
Regarding Curry.. I know because he has been training with our fitness guy, the same one that has bulked up Frye. Frye is looking good man. Also he has Isiah wanting to prove Larry wrong. So he will have initiave. Just like before his contract year in 04-05 he WAS in phenomenal shape soo I dont know where you get the idea that he has never been in that shape before..
Now Steve Francis.. him and Steph get along haha. And of course him and Mobley are great friends. But besides for that I havent really heard a lot of positive relationships he has around the league.

With their unspoiled nature and marvelous African jungle containing very rare trees, plants and animals, the surrounding areas of Abidjan are well worth a visit.
Abidjan is not the capital of the Ivory Coast, since this is Yamoussoukro, but it is the economic and cultural centre of the country. It now has a population of about three million and is still growing rapidly.
Abidjan is a city with two aspects. On one hand, there are the rich areas, such as the business centre Le Platteau, which is especially popular with French tourists. This district also contains the "Hôtel Ivoire", Africa's most famous hotel, which offers a full range of facilities, with a swimming pool and a casino. On the other hand, there are the slum areas.

Credit Management Seminar at BSC Attracts More Than 100 Attendees
CreatedMonday, October 01 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
(Bluefield)—More than 100 area high school and Bluefield State College students attended a "Credit Management Seminar," September 26 at the College. Financial instructor Keva Sturdevant delivered a high-energy, practical sense program to attendees.
"Students need to understand how to gain and exercise control of their financial destiny," Sturdevant said. "Without an understanding of basics like a credit score, timely payment of bills, etc., uninformed students are vulnerable to making mistakes that can negatively impact their careers and their future."
The seminar was sponsored by the Emerging Leaders Institute, Campus Ministries, the Society for Financial Education and Professional Development, Inc., and Experian.

Undergraduate Research in Scientific Inquiry with R. Sunderman
Fall 2015, Winter 2016 and Spring 2016 quarters
Taught by
Rigorous quantitative and qualitative research is an important component of academic learning in Scientific Inquiry. Research opportunities allow science students to work on specific projects associated with faculty members' expertise. Students typically begin by working in an apprenticeship model with faculty or laboratory staff and gradually take on more independent projects within the context of the specific research program as they gain experience. Students can develop vital skills in research design, data acquisition and interpretation, modeling and theoretical analysis, written and oral communication, collaboration and critical thinking. These are valuable skills for students pursuing a graduate degree or entering the job market.
Rebecca Sunderman (inorganic/materials chemistry, physical chemistry) is interested in the synthesis and property characterization of new bismuth-containing materials. These compounds have been characterized as electronic conductors, attractive activators for luminescent materials, second harmonic generators and oxidation catalysts for several organic compounds. Traditional solid-state synthesis methods will be utilized to prepare new complex bismuth oxides. Once synthesized, powder x-ray diffraction patterns will be obtained and material properties such as conductivity, melting point, biocidal tendency, coherent light production and magnetic behavior will be examined when appropriate.

Editor: Now that my run for Mayor is over, I would like to extend a sincere thanks to my opponent Allan McDonald and all of those that ran for office this year. It was to me ethical, courteous and without malice that impressed me the most. My run for Mayor showed me that it can be done without all the negative or degrading way which we are so familiar with in national elections.
Now is the time I would like to reflect and thank all of my supporters who voted for me as well as those who heard my message. As I became involved in this year's election I realized just how important this year's message of true (accountability) really is.
Our currently fast pace of rising taxes and less open space of land is becoming a stark reality of this pending future. Critical questions need to be addressed by all of us if we want a future in the hands of the people. As it becomes more and more apparent of this rising cost just to live here, do we really know why this tax expense is becoming so high?
There is no doubt that this year is a pivotal time in our community. Who is elected can determine in a big way how we will grow in our near future.
This is why I ran for Mayor I wanted answers and to you to be informed.
Accountability involving how we live here must follow disclosure and allow (us) the people to make the final adjustments. A government by the people is only achieved by demanding a voice that is heard with correct action taken in our best interest!
During this campaign I had the rare opportunity to meet and talk with many of you. I have come to know and appreciate the growing diversity and challenges we all face here in Heber City. I know many of you feel that your voice will not be heard or you might feel helpless in making any changes. This will only be true if you choose NOT to get involved in our governments decisions. We must continue to ask WHY and demand answers from those we elect if our best interests are to be served. We must demand the right to say no to those in charge or to take charge each and every time our government decides on anything involving our right to live here. This is our right as American voters and taxpayers.
Thank you again for your votes and your great support!
Mike Bardole

[video] Quick Take: Mortgage Applications Plunge
Mortgage rates hit the highest levels of the year and, as most would expect, have negatively affected applications. Bharatwaj said the quick plunge shows the unwillingness of buyers to shop for homes and to refinance -- a business that is much more rate-sensitive.
Another problem, she added: There aren't enough homes for sale either.
Recently, Bank of America
However, there is a silver lining. Bharatwaj said higher rates make big banks more profitable with their lending business, which is typically much bigger and broader than its mortgage business.
Overall, that should have a positive effect on the big banks over the long term, she concluded.

Philadelphia Phillies – Awards: Singles Champions.
In 126-years as a member of the National League, the Phillies have won twenty singles titles. Eleven Phils have won the title, with five of them doing it multiple times.
The first Phil to win the singles title was Hall of Famer Billy Hamilton, who, in 1890, ended up in a tie for first place with Cliff Carroll of the Chicago Colts (now the Cubs), with each men hitting 137 singles. Hamilton then won the title outright in 1891-92 and 1894 with 147 (1891), 152 (1892) and 176 (1894) singles each. The second Phillie player to win the title, the fifth to be won by a Phil, was Eddie Grant, who won it with 147 singles in 1909. In 1910, Grant won his second straight singles title by hitting 134 of them that season. The next Phil to win the singles title was Beals Becker, who hit 128 singles in 1914. The fourth Phillies player to win the tile was Lefty O'Doul, winning it in 1929, in a tie with Hall of Famer Lloyd 'Little Poison' Waner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, with each man getting 181 singles, presently the Phillies' record for the most singles hit in a season. The fifth Phil to become the singles champ was Chick Fullis, doing it in 1933 with 161 singles. Eddie Waitkus became the sixth Phil to win the singles title, helping to lead the Phils to their second National League title in 1950, by hitting 143 of them. The following year, 1951, Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn won the first of his four singles championships, as he hit 181 singles, in the process tying Lefty O'Doul's record. He won his second singles title, hitting 169 singles in 1953, then won his third title in 1957 with 152 and then his fourth and final title the following season, 1958, with 176. The next Phil to win the title was Dave Cash, who won it with 167 singles in 1974, then won it for the second straight year with 166 singles in 1975. Three years later, Larry Bowa became the ninth Phil to win the title as he hit 153 singles in 1978, the year the Phils won their third straight National League Eastern Division title. Pete Rose, the following season, became the tenth Phils to win the title, as he hit 159 singles in 1979. Rose won his second singles title as a Phillie player by hitting 117 singles in the strike-shortened season of 1981. The eleventh and final Phil to win the singles title was Doug Glanville, doing it in 1999 with 149 singles. No Phillie player has won the title since then.
Of the twenty singles titles won by the Phils, almost half of them, eight, has been won by two Hall of Famers, Billy Hamilton (4) and Richie Ashburn (also 4). Three other Phils have won two titles each, Eddie Grant, Dave Cash and Pete Rose. Two Phils have won the title tied with another player, Hamilton in 1890 and Lefty O'Doul in 1929. The Phils to have hit the most singles to win the title were O'Doul (1929) and Ashburn (1951) with 181, which is still the Phillies' record for most singles in a season. The Phil to have won the title with the least number of singles was Pete Rose with only 117 in the strike-shortened season of 1981. The Phillies have won four singles titles in the 19th Century, sixteen in the 20th, and, so far, none in the 21st Century.
Who will be the next Phils to win the single titles? At this time, I really have no clue who might win it.

What are your feelings on whether Pete should be in the HOF or not.
I think he should be in the HOF because of what he did on the field, and if he had admitted that he had bet on baseball after he had been found out, I'd be behind him 100%. But, because he was stubborn in his refusal to admit it, and the way he'd admitted it, I'm only behind his 60%. He should be in there, but it may never happen as long as the commissioner refuses to reinstate him.

Sometimes Hollywood really is larger than life. When filmmakers made the motion picture Mutiny on the Bounty (starring Marlon Brando), the movie model of the 18th century ship was constructed on a 1.3:1 (180 feet vs. 138 feet) scale to provide extra space for filming crews.
Veterans of snow shoveling generally agree that spraying one's shovel scoop with cooking oil will facilitate snow shedding and significantly decrease the effort required for clearing sidewalks, etc.
Back in 1894, football helmets were often fashioned from re-sewn harness leather. No hard shell was included (except a player's skull). Sophisticated modern helmets can measure impact forces and are capable of sending data to receiving monitors on sidelines, press-boxes, etc. However, brain concussions are still a distressing concern for many people involved with football.
In 2009, an orbiting Russian satellite collided with a U.S. satellite and both units were badly damaged. In an effort to avoid future collisions in an increasingly crowded environment, the United States has plans to erect a high frequency radar system on Kwajalein Island in order to keep closer tabs on more than 200,000 objects that circle our planet.
Speaking of keeping tabs - auto insurance companies maintain stat sheets on vehicle drivers and have discovered that the average American driver will be involved in a collision once every 10 years. However, regional rates vary greatly. In the Washington (D.C.) area, it's once every 4.7 years. In the Boise (Idaho) region, records indicate the frequency drops to once every 13.8 years.
Auric Chloride is a naturally occurring liquid compound that contains gold. Two Michigan State chemistry professors have discovered that when bacteria called Cupriavidus metallidurans are set loose on auric chloride, almost pure gold is left as residue. Some residue.

There's got to be a morning after...
December 19, 2012 —
Well, it's finally here. If the Mayans were right, this will be my last column. Ever. I've been on planet Earth long enough to have seen several "end-of-the-world" dates come and go, but this one, the so-called "Mayan Prophecy," has really taken the world by storm. While hardly an alarmist, I have been keenly interested in the subject for well over a year. In fact, I wrote about this subject last spring (www.riverreporter.com/feature/16/2012/03/20/2012-prophesies-fact-or-fantasy) exploring the issue in some detail.
Truth be told, there is a certain appeal regarding the "end of days." No more bills to pay. Little concern over what to make for dinner tomorrow night. No more wondering whether I should clean out the fridge, and more importantly, I can finally stop obsessing over how my hair looks. That said, I have spent the last few months researching, studying, reading and watching endless hours of programming on TV. Conclusion? I'm still up in the air, but honestly, it seems unlikely. I'm a big fan of space exploration, so it seemed natural to go to the source (www.nasa.gov) and find that the "official" word is this: "12/21/2012 won't be the end of the world as we know, however, it will be another winter solstice." Hmm.
The Internet is humming with speculation and I found thousands of websites devoted to the topic, including www.december2012.com, which states in part that "the mainstream media only tells you what they have to and downplays the rest to prevent mass panic." Hmm. Since I play a huge part in the "mainstream media," I have decided that it's my responsibility (dare I say duty?) to share my suggestions: Cancel your "fruit-of-the-month club," but not your next haircut (just in case). Put off all holiday shopping until Saturday (you'll get a better deal, regardless), and remember to shop local, since mail delivery may be a tad "slow" after the apocalypse.

There were no problems with my car until I brought it in to the Cadillac dealer 3 weeks ago to get the oil changed. Since the oil has been changed, the car now makes a grinding noise when driving at low speeds. I dropped off the CTS this morning at the dealer I purchased the car from to see if they could find any problems with the car. The service manager left me a message late this afternoon saying the noise was the rear differential. How concerned should I be about this? I have no idea what a rear differential is or what it does. Thanks for any help.

So i saw i chopped a weird sounding ambient noise and the actual noise itself lasts like half a second, how can i make that noise hit a beat within a measure and linger and continue on longer that the actual duration of the noise

Time stretch or pitch down. Also, many samplers allow you to pick a point in the sample, and loop it for a certain amount of the sample. So, sample is half a second, loop it at a quarter of a second for the remaining quarter of a second. So, when you play the sample, the first half will play, and then the second half will repeatedly loop for as long as the note is held.
Posted 09 November 2013 - 03:37 AM
Pitch it down. Drown it in reverb, time stretch. Loop it

My favorite baseball is day games during the middle of the week. But, this is, as has been said, a true double-header, so it starts later. Don't know if I ever went to one of those.
Dear Tony,
A first pitch strike is your friend. Also not falling behind most hitters will serve you well too.
I can't get over how goofy that Underpants guy is. He is hilarious.

We were really lucky that inning. Two rocket outs
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

(He really didn't tweet that, but he's probably thinking it.)
Yeah. Complete dork with a great job and smoking hot chick.
"Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?" ~ Jim Bouton
Here is how I see it right now with Cingrani (as I see the first pitch called a ball that was right down the middle to Pence). He is not getting many calls lower in the strike zone (and the third "ball" to Pence was a prime example). I am not sure if it is a receiving thing from Mesoraco's end or if the umps are that terrible, but for the last 3-4 starts he has had, the umps have not called anything on the corners or at the bottom of the zone. You can tell Tony is not appreciative of it either.
Maybe one day he will "earn" that part of the zone, but it is astonishing on how often those pitches are not called in his favor.
However it happened, nice recovery by Cingrani.
Now, let's get one back, or at least put some pressure on the Starter.
I have a feeling the Reds will drop the hammer on this kid within the next inning or two.

Beautiful words Simone and it is so much better to focus on all that is good in the world rather than dwell on the negative.ReplyDelete
...... and, what an inspiration Kim's mum Barb is ........ just an ordinary ( or maybe I should say extaordinary) person baking some bread, but achieving so much. She is truly an inspiration to us all and has shown how much can be done.
Here's hoping that the world will be a peaceful,kind and loving one in 2013. XXXX
Barb is truly one of my heroes, she has done an extraordinary job putting her dreams to work to help all the children in Uganda and Edwin is such an amazing young man! Wouldn't this world be such a wonderful place if everyone just took a moment to bestow a kindness on everyone that came their way and we sensationalized all the good in the world that people do instead of the horrible acts of violence? I strive each day to be a better person and to be kind to everyone that crosses my path, as you just never know what people are going thru and it can change their live and yours. Beautiful post, Simone! xxooReplyDelete
A lovely post, Simone, with a wonderful and encouraging story!ReplyDelete
Encouraging to keep our eyes on the bright side of the world!
Barb should be nominated as one of CNN'S angels. What a beautiful example of "What is Right With the World," Simone. This is exactly what each one of us should be doing for others, whether big or small projects. 1 minute is the same world-wide, let's not waste them on trivialities. Thank you for being YOU!ReplyDelete
It's amazing how the smallest action can send ripples out into the world. Yes, I agree with you Simone. There IS so much goodness in the world. And this leads me to my next question which is, "what have I done lately?"ReplyDelete
It's a good one to reflect on.
Thanks for sharing.
Leslie (aka Gwen Moss)
What a lovely post and a wonderful story! I agree that it is better to try to focus on the positives, as the negatives can be so very overwhelming, and it's stories like this that are a great reminder that there is still so, so much good in the world. Thanks for sharing. xoxReplyDelete
Totally amazing!!! I cannot believe how much they have achieved from when they started last year! I need to show my kids this...inspiring....xxxReplyDelete
Beautiful post, Simone...kindness it's the only thing that really matters and Barb has a heart full of kindness, such a lovely story.ReplyDelete
I was sorry to have missed being part of this month's post...we've been in beautiful Salzberg...back to work now ;-)
Sweet darling friend,ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for sharing your kind generous words about my sweet mama. She really does show that each and every one of us can make a difference by simply taking it one step at a time. She is there now, loving on those gorgeous children and making sure that the progress on the house is moving along.
Love you.
What a wonderful post about a remarkable woman ~ I feel proud that I can say I helped by that generator, xoReplyDelete

2 For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting about it to the Macedonians, telling them that since last year you in Achaia were ready to give; and your enthusiasm has stirred most of them to action.
3 But I am sending the brothers in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove hollow, but that you may be ready, as I said you would be.
4 For if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we�not to say anything about you�would be ashamed of having been so confident.
5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you in advance and finish the arrangements for the generous gift you had promised. Then it will be ready as a generous gift, not as one grudgingly given.
Generosity Encouraged
Generosity Encouraged
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
As it is written:
�They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
their righteousness endures forever.�[a]
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord�s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.
13 Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else.
14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.
15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

text: Matthew is five weeks old today!! He has grown soo much...he was born at 3 pounds 5 ounces (29 weeks) and is now approaching the 5 pound mark. I would have been 34 weeks pregnant now. He is doing so well and I'm really hoping we can bring him home soon - the only things left he has to do are take all his feedings by nipple (breast or bottle) and not have any apnea episodes for seven days. He is nursing pretty well I think. I use the breastshield b/c he just can't stay latched on otherwise - I have big breasts and he has a little mouth. He's very slow - he'll take a few deep sucks and then has to stop and rest for a minute. But he'll usually keep it up for 15-20 minutes. Currently they are still giving him a tube feeding as soon as I finish nursing him. Then when I am not there they try him on a bottle and give him whatever he doesn't finish through the tube. I was worried about nipple confusion but so far that doesn't seem to be an issue - he goes right for my breast whenever I am there. My only concern is I have no idea how much he is getting when I nurse. I hear him swallowing some and see some drip out of his mouth - so he is getting something. But I don't know if it is a full feed - or a half a feed - or just a tiny amount. Last night the nurse sucked out his feeding tube as soon as he finished eating (they always clear it out before a tube feeding) and there was only 2 cc's of breastmilk in his belly (an ounce is 30 cc's) - that was very depressing to me since I had just nursed him for 20 minutes and thought he had done well. She did say he could have already digested some of it though. I just don't know what to do. I thought he was doing well but after seeing how very little he is getting it just makes me want to give up. I'm afraid I'll get him home and be starving him...or else I'll have to nurse/pump/bottlefeed every 2-3 hours which I flat out just don't have the time for. I'll pump for as long as I can - but honestly with a newborn and a 16 month old I'm sure it'll quickly get to the point where he'll either nurse directly or else be formula fed. Any words of advice?

This beautiful pair of interacting galaxies consists of NGC 5754, the large spiral on the right, and NGC 5752, the smaller companion in the bottom left corner of the image. NGC 5754's internal structure has hardly been disturbed by the interaction. The outer structure does exhibit tidal features, as does the symmetry of the inner spiral pattern and the kinked arms just beyond its inner ring. In contrast, NGC 5752 has undergone a starburst episode, with a rich population of massive and luminous star clusters clumping around the core and intertwined with intricate dust lanes. The contrasting reactions of the two galaxies to their interaction are due to their differing masses and sizes. NGC 5754 is located in the constellation Bootes, the Herdsman, some 200 million light-years away.
This image is part of a large collection of 59 images of merging galaxies taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and released on the occasion of its 18th anniversary on 24th April 2008.

Defensible Space Around Your Home Defensible space. It's a term we hear time and time again, especially during fire season. Yet many people still are confused as to what defensible space is. Defensible space is an area around your home that is clear of excessive flammable vegetation. This area helps stop a fire from traveling and allows firefighters to take a stand. Typically, defensible space is a minimum of 30 feet on a relatively flat slope and to over 100 feet on steeper slopes. During a fire, firefighters must make split-second decisions as to which homes they can defend. They look at accessibility for fire equipment, clearance of vegetation, and non-combustible roofs and siding. These homes stand a much better chance of being defended. A shake-roofed house surrounded by dense brush and overhanging trees at the end of a long driveway probably wouldn't be defensible. There are many steps you can take to make your home more resistant to fire. The key is to break it down into manageable tasks over a set time frame. Also make the most of resources available through the City such as our chipper days, workshops and other special programs. Call our Vegetation Management Hotline at (415) 721-4367 for up-to-date information on programs and services in your area. Landscaping Tips

What's the first thing you think of when Katy Perry, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Christina Hendricks, Halle Berry or Kate Upton is mentioned?
Right, "boobs."
Thanks to magazines like Maxim, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, GQ and Playboy -- to name just a handful -- celebrity breastesses are constantly shoved in our faces.
Many stars get accused of having fake ones, like Salma Hayek; who swears hers are real and says they're "a present from God."
Others are obviously real (Katy Perry), while some are obviously fake (Mariah Carey).
But in the end it doesn't really matter if they look glorious.
So sit back and rev up your motorboat engines and check out all of our favorite Hollywood boobies in our most gratuitous post ever...

Senate debates welfare, but passes Vt. budgetBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | May 03,2013MONTPELIER With a $5.3 billion budget proposal, the controversy in the Senate on Thursday centered on a provision with almost no fiscal impact at all.
The issue of whether to impose a five-year limit on welfare benefits continues to elicit opposition from lawmakers concerned about its effects on the poor. The majority of a three-hour debate on the Senates version of the fiscal year 2014 spending plan Thursday focused primarily on whether the 60-month cap would expose recipients to undue hardship.
Sen. Anthony Pollina, a Washington County Progressive/Democrat, said the budget called not only for implementation of the caps, but also a study on their effects. He said lawmakers should consider awaiting the results of that study before proceeding with the plan, especially considering that the time limits will result in negligible savings next year.
I dont see us as facing any kind of emergency situation to act immediately on something that is relatively new to most of us before we understand what were doing, Pollina said.
Supporters of the provisions, however, say the Senate plan has been loaded with safeguards many added by the House that will limit the impact of the caps to freeloading beneficiaries who are simply unwilling to get a job.
The divide over welfare reform notwithstanding, the floor session marked one of the most passive budget debates in recent memory, and ended with broad bipartisan support for the spending plan. The 24-4 vote reflected support from across the ideological spectrum, including a majority of the seven-member Republican caucus.
Sen. Tim Ashe, a Democrat/Progressive from Chittenden County, called the legislation a source of pride for this whole body.
Two of the no votes from Republicans were intended more to protest items not included in the budget than to condemn things it contained. Senate Minority Leader Joe Benning said his opposition stems from the Shumlin administrations unwillingness to provide a financing plan earlier this year for the single-payer health care system the governor aims to have in place by 2017.
What we havent spoken about in the many hours of conversation thats taken place here today is the elephant in room, and that is health care, Benning said.
Sen. Peg Flory, a Rutland County Republican, said her opposition stems from the budgets silence on the ever increasing cost of public education.
The legislation now heads to a conference committee, where House and Senate lawmakers will resolve the relatively small number of differences between their respective plans.
The proposal for time limits on Reach Up differs dramatically from the one put forth by Gov. Peter Shumlin earlier this year. Not only would it delay the caps until next year, it would establish a slew of hardship conditions under which beneficiaries who exceed the cap would be able to continue receiving benefits.
The Senate has also added language that would allow even recipients without a hardship to continue receiving benefits by performing community service.
Sen. Dick Sears, a Bennington County Democrat and longtime member of the Appropriations Committee, said the Senate has been working for years to reform the Reach Up program, only to be rebuffed by the House. He said Shumlins own time on the Appropriations Committee the governor is a former senator no doubt gave rise to the administrations welfare reform proposal.
Quite frankly I dont think (the Senate plan) goes far enough, Sears said. But in the spirit of compromise, we moved in the direction of providing deferments, providing protection.
Sears said the body ought to be guided by three principles: making sure those who were willing would get the help they need, and those who were uwilling (didnt), and those who were unable got a deferment.
Sen. Jane Kitchel, a Caledonia County Democrat and chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said the time limit may provide the incentive parents need to pursue a career, reducing dramatically the chance that their children will also end up in poverty.
We are troubled when we hear a parent say Reach Up gives me a reason not to work, Kitchel said.
The Senate version of the Reach Up proposal has also eliminated the bulk of an administration plan that would have eliminated eight caseworker positions at the Vermont Department of Labor next year, and reallocated the funds to substance abuse treatment programs that would be administered by a private contractors.
The caseworkers are dedicated solely to helping Reach Up recipients find work. The Vermont State Employee Association held a press conference decrying the proposal, and lauded the Senate for adding language that would reduce the position reduction from eight to two.
We thank the Senate for listening to us and for its compromise proposal that the Department of Labor maintain the Reach Up services we provide, employee Diane Lackey said in a statement.

The "Epic-ness" of David Wright
Team USA vs Team Puerto Rico
Team USA vs Team Puerto Rico
an most expected. He could very well be ready for Opening Day. It's great when guys like this recover successfully from surgery. Hamels being ready for Opening Days, is uncertain, as is Joe Mauer's situation.
19 Comments
About Bard, I told Julia that Bard was traded to SD because he wasn't effective catching the knuckleball with Wakefield. With the Captain back and signed, perhaps Kottaras was a cheaper alternative and as effective as Bard. As you pointed out, and I agree, Bard was used as leverage in case Varitek was not signed.
Yeah, I think you're right about my boy Bardo. Definitely right. I hope he gets a job soon though! He's a good guy. Great story about David Wright! That's pretty funny.
Julia mentioned tonight that she heard Bard has signed a minor league deal with the Yankees. That was my immediate thought when the Sox cut him. But I don't think he'll make the major league roster if it's true. Francisco Cervelli is playing well enough to nail down the third catcher slot. The injuries in the WBC are wild. I read something tonight about Wright playing hurt. Why don't these guys come clean when they are injured? I know, the competitive spirit. I think Venezuela takes the WBC…
Elizabeth – as much as I am enjoying the WBC – the number of injuries is becoming quite concerning. And I am afraid that the number of injuries is so large that Team USA might not have a chance! Good luck in the debate and congrats on the paper! GO USA!!!
It was a playoff…the WBC is all a giant playoff and the winner is the winner…I'm saying it'll be Korea. JJ Putz looked really amazing for the USA, I must say…the Mets have the most talented closer in the game…wow. His pitches were all so beautiful…like Carlos Zambrano's are.
Aaron: Yes, cheaper alternative, I still feel bad though.
Kaybee: He is a great guy, and I'm sorry to see him leave.
Scott: Venezuela eh? I could see that. These guys have great hearts, they've just got to think about the future.
Julia: We are kind of a walking DL aren't we?
Caroline: I could see Korea. Didn't they do really well in the Olympics last time? And yeah, Putz looked good. Nice comparison to Zambrano!
Elizabeth, I can't believe your math teacher talks about the Yankees and Red Sox with you! I think I've said this before, but I don't remember ever having a teacher who even mentioned baseball. You're lucky!
It's cool how you talk about baseball with your teacher! I wish I can do that🙂 Nice story about David Wright.
Teachers who talk baseball? Freakin' awesome…
I hope my advice for autographs helped you out a bit. Regarding the WBC, my guy Ryan Braun should be back in action for the next game! Woohoo!
Hey, Elizabeth …
The whole WBC series has been very exciting, except, of course, the injuries … I look forward to the final three games of the series with the Team USA taking home the Championship on Monday night !!! … But, they have a tough game against Team Japan on Sunday night; and, the Venezuela vs. Korea game Saturady night should also be a great game !!! … I am really impressed with all four teams remaining in this Series !!!
Good Luck with the re-write on your research paper; and, I hope you get tickets to the game this weekend !!!
Have a fun time at the game !!!
— Jimmy [27NYY], "BY&L"
Elizabeth,Good luck on your paper, though it sounds like your teacher likes it so you shouldn't have too much re-writing to do. Have fun at the game, too!! And go Team USA, maybe David Wright can come up with another clutch hit!By the way, you're right that I don't mind that Mauer puts up such good numbers. Though it also helps that he's one of the best defensive catchers in baseball, too.-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.mlblogs.com
Jane: When we were talking during class, this kid asked me:
"Do you ever do your homework?". lol
Hyun Young: Thanks! Maybe you can too soon– I couldn't last year, but this year I've gotten pretty lucky.
Happy: Good to hear Ryan Braun will be back in action. And your autograph tips DID help! I got six or seven today!
Jimmy: Thanks! And I am every excited for the WBC as well!
Erin: The Twins are very lucky to have Joe Mauer– I would hope that they hang on to him!
If the Sox can afford to release a guy batting .429, sounds like you are going to have a great team!
Kottaras will be great this year! Bard was just an insurance policy if Tek wasn't signed. Look for him to hit around .260 (+/-) and have a solid year behind the dish. David Wright was pretty clutch in that game. Did you see that pitch!? It was at about his ankles and he still put it in a great spot!
Great Job Elizabeth!
WBC is great by me! Action and psychics like yourself make for good times. I hope you predicted the US taking it all : )
Jenn: I hope you're right about that!
Christos: Yeah that pitch was way in. Pedroia can hit anywhere too!
Tom: I'll look into my crystal ball lol
Hi Elizabeth!!!!
I'm glad I found someone else trying to balance school and baseball! Your blog is very interesting, and I hope to see you soon on the MLB Network =)
heyy great blog i really enjoy reading what you have to sayy, go soxx

Portland Becomes First Salmon-Safe City
Mayor Hales issues Salmon-Safe challenge to other West Coast citiesRead More…
Phone: 503-823-4120
1221 SW 4th Avenue, Room 340, Portland, OR 97204
FEB. 27, 2013 –Today, the Portland Revenue Bureau launched www.artstax.net to educate the public about the city's groundbreaking new Arts Education & Access Fund, and to begin accepting $35 income tax payments from local residents.
Due annually beginning April 15, 2013, Portland's new $35 income tax for income-earning adult residents of Portland (and exempting any taxpayer under the federal poverty limit) is expected tol generate approximately $12.2 million in annual net revenue. It was passed into law when 62 percent of Portland voters approved Ballot Measure 24-146 in November.
The Arts Education & Access Fund is a local income tax to restore arts education to every Portland elementary school and fund arts education and access programs citywide.
"Portland residents recognize the value of investing in art and music teachers, and they want more access to arts activities throughout the city," said Jessica Jarratt Miller, Creative Advocacy Network executive director. "Now with just $35 we can ensure that every Portlander has access to our city's cultural and creative riches."
