Freedom New Mexico
One reason we cannot get the economy on track is the mass economic ignorance that enables politicians to pass off redistribution schemes as growth.
Some children, seeing a rabbit pulled from a hat, surmise that magic hats produce rabbits. Similarly, gullible adults see government programs as sources of wealth. The rabbit did not magically appear in a hat. It came from someplace else. A hat may be among the last places a rabbit wants to be.
Redistribution of wealth takes capital from one rightful owner and places it someplace else — generally a place the person who earned it would not have placed it by choice.
To understand how Americans mistake redistribution with prosperity, review the stories that are told after hurricanes and other natural disaster. We hear this: The storm destroyed property and lives. But it will help the economy as people go to work fixing that which was destroyed.
In other words, some believe that redistribution of wealth — whether at the hands of powerful politicians or storms — produces something that moves society forward.
Here's how MSN Money told a redistribution fallacy after Hurricane Irene destroyed property along the East Coast: "There may be a hidden stimulus package here," reported Kim Peterson. "MarketWatch's Irwin Kellner said Irene might have reduced growth in the gross domestic product by as much as a full percentage point. But the effects of the storm could boost the fourth-quarter GDP by even more.
"He's talking about the sudden influx of work for the construction industry. There is much to clean and rebuild, and a good portion of that work will be funded by the federal government."
Free money! It goes on to explain that Home Depot and Lowe's took in cash before the storm, selling plywood and generators to prospective storm victims, which should help the economy. Reading or hearing this drivel, one could get the impression that our economy would thrive if only more natural disasters would strike. If that's the case, we should seed the clouds and create violent storms.
Destruction — whether by war, weather or vandalism — cannot help the economy. If victims must spend to repair damage, to get back to square one, it is capital they won't have to move forward or to pay off debts. If government must fund them to recover, it's money from another American's pocket that could have been used toward progress.
Just as our economy cannot prosper from redistribution forced by destruction, it cannot grow by extension of unemployment benefits or makework "shovel ready" projects funded only by redistribution. Some redistribution we must have, but let us never confuse it with prosperity.
Widespread economic well-being results only from innovation, production and free exchanges that improve our lives by moving us forward. Destruction and artificial jobs produce wealth at the same rate top hats produce rabbits.

The Bridgewater Club
Carmel, Indiana
June 6, 2004
CARMEL, Ind. â Steven Drake, 17, of Findlay, Ohio, shot a 74 to share medalist honors with Michael Slovitt of Winnetka, Ill., in the qualifier for the PING Indianapolis Junior at The Bridgewater Club. The Girls Division was led by Michelle Morgan, 17, of Muncie, Ind., and Sarah Thead of Poway, Calif.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the PING Indianapolis Junior Qualifier was held at The Bridgewater Club. One hundred juniors were competing for 14 spots (12 boys and two girls) in this weekâs 54-hole tournament.
In his first AJGA event, Drake carded a 37-37â74, including two birdies on the front-9. The rising high school senior, credited his score to his short game.
âMy short game saved me today and I was up-and-down from everywhere,â said Drake.
Also earning spots into the PING Indianaplis Junior were Brad Benjamin of Rockford, Ill., James Byrd of Windermere, Fla., Thomas Dunlap of East Liverpool, Ohio, Pete Tomkie of DeWitt, Mich., Ben Bastel of Upper Sandusky, Ohio, Patrick Kelly of Lexington, Ky., Scott Schleiffarth of Ballwin, Mo., Matthew Stauch of Dublin, Ohio, Wyatt Worthington II of Reynoldsburg, Ohio, Jeff Olisar of Naperville, Ill. and Matthew Davis of Phoenix.
Earning a tournament exemption to add to their Performance Based Entry status in lieu of playing in this weekâs event were Nelson Mandrell of Chicago, Nick Catton of Carmel, Ind., Cashel Rosier of Grand Ledge, Mich. and Joseph Barr of Versailles, Ky.
Sarah Thead, who played in her first AJGA event, found the course very challenging and accredited her score to a steady start, highlighted by pars on her first three holes and sinking in her putts.
âThe course was pretty difficult and so were the hole locations. Iâm glad that my putting came through today. Putting is usually what I struggle with, but it came through for me today,â Thead stated.
A rare hole-in-one highlighted Sundayâs qualifier. Lexington, Ky. native Patrick Kelly was no less than ecstatic when he sunk a 175-yard hole-in-one on No.15 using a 6-iron.
âI didnât really see it go in but it was going right at the flag. I thought it would stop short, but I heard my dad and other players yell out and I knew it went in.â
The PING Indianapolis Junior will feature 99 junior golfers from 22 states, including 12 Indiana natives and one foreign country. First-round tee times will begin at 7:00 a.m. Tuesday, June 8, at The Bridgewater Club.

Every Sunday, the parking lot of Legaspi Park (in Legaspi Village, Makati) gets filled with stalls that sell almost every imaginable thing. I've been there several times already, am familiar with most of the items, but I still get lost since I find myself absorbed with all the colors, smells, and textures of the weekly market.
It is a meeting place of large scale concessionaires, traditional cottage industry businesses, eco-activists, mom-and-pop store owners, florists, bible school evangelists, orphanage benefits, artists, and collectors. And that is just one half of the populace.
These sellers get to know as regulars not just the residents of the surrounding villages, but people who have just come from early-morning marathons, dog lovers, families, groups of friends who pass by before going to the mall, churchgoers, foodies, and fellow members of creative communities.
I usually go before lunch, with friends or family. Though it is not hard to be immediately drawn to the Spanish, French, and Filipino dishes served – not to mention the fresh seafood and produce that can be brought home for personalized recipes – my first stop is always the dry goods section.
There I find leather articles like bags and sandals, antiques, exotic jewelry with beads and stones from Cambodia to Tibet, trinkets, and lucky charms. For homebodies, there are organic soaps, scents, and fragrances, jars, vases, wind chimes, and other sundry things.
Mostly I look for interesting items, such as ethnic figurines made by the tribes of the northern Cordillera provinces. These are sold with foreboding ritual statues used for harvests and burials.
Of course, once I wander into the wine selections and bottled mushroom and fish, my stomach would be grumbling. I would then head to either the pasta stalls for puttanesca or to the Spanish section for lengua. Especially during the dry season, no meal would be complete without ice-cold sugarcane juice or shakes and smoothies from the wide variety of fruits available.
If I would decide to browse again after lunch, I would conclude my visit with dessert, which ranges from baklava pastries to sweet rice cakes (steamed peanuts if I just want something to nibble on).

Task force nabs 3 in heroin bust
Three suspected players in the local heroin trade were arrested Thursday night during three separate search warrant executions.
Agents of the Major Crimes Task Force simultaneously converged on three separate Marietta houses around 10 p.m. Thursday evening, finding heroin residue and drug abuse instruments in two houses and unprescribed Percocet pills in the third, said Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.
Arrested were Brian K. Streight, 46, of 221 Sixth St.; Robert J. Becker Jr., 68, of 213 Meigs St.; and Gary L. McFadden II, 42, of 210 Fifth St.
"They all know each other. They all have priors," said Mincks.
The men had been under surveillance for some time and the task force had an indication that more heroin would soon be arriving, said Mincks.
"Our intelligence sources were telling us that heroin was hard to get right now for the addicts and these are some of the primary locations it comes to," he said.
However, very little heroin was found in the houses, leading officers to believe the shipment had been used or had not yet arrived, he said.
But McFadden, who was arrested and later posted bond for a felony drug possession charge and misdemeanor charges of drug possession, drug paraphernalia possession, and possession of drug abuse instruments, said Friday the arrests were unjust and improperly handled.
McFadden alleged that the Washington County Sheriff's Office failed to show anyone at his home a search warrant.
"They didn't read me my rights. They didn't tell me what I was being arrested for," he said.
McFadden also accused task force agents of kicking his girlfriend in the head, threatening to shoot his dog, taking money from his wallet without leaving a receipt, and eating his snack cakes.
"I feel like they were way out of line," he said.
Mincks said the sheriff's office takes complaints of misconduct seriously, but doubts the validity of McFadden's complaints.
"We will investigate it and I will see what happened," he said.
He suggested McFadden file an official, signed complaint.
In addition to his complaints of misconduct on the part of the officers, McFadden also said that agents did not find drugs in his home.
"The just found residue. They didn't find no drugs," he said.
Syringes, which were taken from a safe in his house, belonged to a diabetic friend, said McFadden, and were used for insulin injections.
Besides the syringes, agents found spoons, marijuana pipes, straws with drug residue, cotton balls, metal filters, a digital scale and multiple marijuana roaches in McFadden's house, said Mincks.
"The spoons, which tested positive for heroin residue during field tests, were enough to justify a felony drug charge and the marijuana roaches enough to justify the misdemeanor charge," he said.
Similarly, Becker was charged with felony drug possession for heroin residue found on a pocket knife at his residence, said Mincks.
Becker also received a misdemeanor charge for possession of drug abuse instruments because a search of his home turned up a shoe lace, syringes, and razor blades -all commonly used for heroin use, said Mincks.
Streight was also charged with felony drug possession after agents found 23 Percocet pills in an eyeglasses case in his home. Streight did not have a prescription for the pills, which are a Schedule II drug, said Mincks.
Despite not finding a large amount of heroin on the properties, Mincks said he has no doubts that the three are players in the local drug trade.
"They will get together and pool their money and any one of the three could go up and make a score. Depending on who paid what, they distribute it. They sell some to accumulate money for their next trip," he said.
And while there was a small amount of drugs in the houses, tools like syringes, spoons, metal strainers, digital scales and more indicated that there had recently been a lot of drug usage there, he said.
McFadden and Becker are both free after posting $3,250 bond. Streight was released after posting $2,500 bond.

It's the name on the front of the jersey - not the back - that matters. And in the case of this week's shining star, "Pullman" is much easier to pronounce than "Staniszewski".
"I've heard 'Stan-a-zoo-ski' 'Stan-a-juice-ski' 'stan-a-boo-ski' ... anything you can think of, I've heard it," says Jake Staniszewski, a senior at Pullman High School.
That's changing, as the Pullman senior has given opponents a reason to remember the name.
Most GNL football teams would rather forget Staniszewski after he racked up 1700 yards and 16 touchdowns, delivering in the clutch for the league-champion Greyhounds.
"He just doesn't panic," says Scaggs. "He has that calmness about him that he doesn't let the best of the situation get to him."
Now the 152-lb is making a name for himself on the mat, where he's off to a 5-0 start.
"He's just one of those kids that you can always count on, just because he works so hard, it's a product of his work-ethic," says Scaggs.
Determination fueled by the fact that Jake finished one point shy of qualifying for state as a junior.
"Every time we're in here running sprints or we're live-wrestling, I just think about how close I was last year to making my dreams and how I just want to make it to state this year so bad," says Staniszewski.
And continue to make a name for himself along the way.

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYAfter losing in the 1987 American League Championship Series, the Detroit Tigers started a string of 18 straight seasons missing the playoffs in 1988 with an 88-74 mark. However, it was another strong season for star shortstop Alan Trammell, as shown in this '88 Topps card. He hit .311 with 15 homers (the most he would have in a season the rest of his career) and 69 RBIs. Trammell would earn his second straight All-Star spot and also win a second consecutive Silver Slugger Award.

the way i see it there are 3 ways for this to happen.
1: the players need to realize this themselves, and really step up on D.
2: the coach has to realize it, and get the players to play D
3: if neither above happens, we need to bring in a new coach with authority who will make it happen.
This is what happens when you trade for celebrity and cash. As of right now, yes, I wish we'd never traded for Melo. He's a farce. How can you say he's not with our record since obtaining him?
Where's Dolan throughout all this mess?
Me-lo, SHAT and Dolan: 3 multi millionaires without any base for boast.
NY's finest.
Tough to fathom. But pretty hilarious we had cats saying Melo was a superior player to Lebron and as good as Durant.
The Decline of Amare Buttermire is obvious a major component of the record situation, though.
Stat last season play very good, i think this is for lockout + MELO. Brother dead also big lose for stat, and maybe no motivation for game? I dont want to blame stat for everything, i think bigger problem here is melo and super mega coach MDA
[QUOTE=redarmy81;218206]. stat & melo have been good offensively /QUOTE]
yep them games where they have been 2/12 4/14...etc..etc have really been winners...
It's simply coaching as the key to failure or success.
Phil Jax needed a pool of big time talent, but he knew how to make their big egos follow his lead. Pop with the Spurs does it. There are few coaches in the league who can lead a group of different personalities towards a single goal.
So, first you need talent, and the Knicks have that.
Second, you need a coach who can turn that talent mix into a finished product.
D'antoni just does not have the skill to do that.
We need Phil Jax, JVG, or someone like that to finish the job here. They will not come without big time talent.
Lamelo is the most egoistic dick in NBA history. After he got blocked in the middle Q3 he stopped giving **** about anything. Amare allowed too much points and offensive rebounds, Lin missed plenty of shots, but you can't accuse them of not giving heart. Lamelo started playing martyr right after Bulls defense told him to GTFO. Dude cares only about his numbers and paychecks.
LMAO, am I the only one who thinks that has to be that woman from Chinese media who asks weird and basketball unrelated questions during Knicks pressers?
Rebounds have been a problem when JLin had like 15 rebounds and Amare and Carmelo combined didnt come close to his rebounds.
That 6000$ a game goes a long way vs the 500k + for the other 2 guys. Though to be fair landry fields and the rest need to do better on defense and rebounding. Bright spot was Novak was early on rebounding with energy and actually hustling and jumping.
Plus, Novak actually created his own ****, 1 on 1, quite well a couple times last night.
I have to believe there is just an excellent chance Amare is shot. It goes above and beyond any coach, system, teammates, PG.....He is getting feeds and plays in his sweet spot, and just not finishing. Bottom line.
His value used to be that of a true star, because he was the most dominant and efficient inside scorer in the NBA.
Losing his edge there, even modestly, is like kryptonite to his entire value.
I have to imagine the Knicks know for certain if this is the case. Or if something more transient is going on with him.
If it's the former, he should be traded aggressively ASAP -- even if all we get is the cap space back.
Even if Melo turns it around, and all our cylinders click, we are not winning a title anytime soon. MIA is just too well built, same for CHI and OKC.
You will not win a chip against well oiled beasts like that with a player showing the type of ineptitude STAT has, making max money.

Intel Corp. on Monday formally unveiled the components of its new Atom platform. Thanks to the code-named Pine-Trail set of chips, next-generation netbooks will not only obtain higher performance, but will also gain high-definition video playback and faster graphics processor. But the most important thing about the new Atom processor is that they consume lower amount of energy and enable smaller and more cost-effective PCs.
One of the most significant features of the new platform is the integration of memory controller and graphics core into central processing unit, a first in the industry on x86 chips. That means two chips (CPU+chipset) instead of the previous three (CPU, chipset, I/O controller hub), a lower TDP, and substantial reductions in cost, overall footprint and power. The netbook platform features a 20% improvement in average power and a smaller package size over the previous Atom platform. This translates into smaller and more compact system designs and longer battery life. Because of the integration, the total footprint for the netbook platform has decreased by approximately 60%, according to Intel. For entry level desktop PCs, it is a nearly 70% reduction in footprint and about 50% lower TDP than the previous generation, the chipmaker said.
The newest Intel Atom platform for netbooks consists of a new Intel Atom "Pineview" processor N450, and a new low-power Intel NM10 core-logic. For entry level desktop PCs, it consists of either the Intel Atom processor D410 or the dual-core D510, also paired with the Intel NM10 core-logic. The overall package, including chipset, just got smaller due to the increasing integration and 45nm manufacturing, which means smaller, more compact system designs, lower costs for OEMs and improved performance. The new Atom processors have improved DirectX 10 graphics core compared to predecessors as well as high-definition video processor.
"The Intel Atom processor has fueled an entirely new category of computing over the last year and a half and we think the growth will continue for devices like netbooks and entry-level PCs built around basic computing and Internet usage models," said Mooly Eden, Intel corporate vice president and general manager of Intel's PC client group.
Since Intel announced the first Atom processors for netbooks and entry-level desktop PCs in June 2008, the market has expanded rapidly. Since introduction, Intel has shipped over 40 million Atom chips for netbooks to every major OEM around the world.
Intel has over 80 design wins to-date for the new Atom platform from such leading OEMs as Asustek Computer, Acer Group, Lenovo Group, Dell, MicroStar International, Toshiba, Samsung and Fujitsu. While the bulk of the systems will feature the new Windows 7 Starter or Home Basic operating system, consumers will have a choice when it comes to selecting an operating system, with some OEMs offering Moblin Linux v2 as an alternative for customers who desire a customizable and differentiated user interface.
According to sources close to Intel, there will be several next-gen Atom "Pineview"chips for netbooks and nettops unveiled in January:
- Intel Atom N450: single-core with Hyper-Threading support, 1.66GHz, 512KB cache, x86-64, BGA437 package, 7W TDP, $63 price-point;
- Intel Atom D510: dual-core with Hyper-Threading support, 1.66GHz, 1MB cache, x86-64, BGA437 package, 15W TDP, $63 price-point;
- Intel Atom D410: single-core with Hyper-Threading support, 1.66GHz, 512KB cache, x86-64, BGA437 package, 12W TDP, $43 price-point;

Nulton running for district judge
MIFFLINTOWN – Robert Nulton has announced his candidacy for Magisterial District Judge in Juniata County in 2013 as a third-party candidate.
Nulton was a Republican, but has since joined the Constitution Party.
The district entails the following municipalities: Fayette Township, Delaware Township, Fermanagh Township, Greenwood Township, Monroe Township, Susquehanna Township, Mifflintown Borough and Thompsontown Borough. Magisterial District Judge Barbara Lyter currently holds this seat.
"I was previously a Republican but have been unhappy with the way, the direction in which the two major parties have taken us. Parties work for themselves and I am here to work for the people as a public servant, not a politician. Being an elected official is a public service not a career," Nulton said.
Nulton said he believes that officials should serve no more than two terms in office and then step down to allow for others to receive the opportunity to be a leader. He believes that parties should not choose who gets into office, it should be the people who decide.
"We need more constitutionally-minded individuals in office," he added.
"I feel if we did, I believe that our nation would be in a better place. But, it all starts at the local level. So that is why I am announcing my candidacy for Magisterial District Judge of District 41-3-01," Nulton said.
Nulton said he ran for office in 2011 for Perry County Commissioner and placed fifth out of 12 candidates. After the election he moved to McAlisterville.
Nulton said he also serves as the State Chairman of the Constitution Party of Pennsylvania.
Nulton is married and has two boys and another on the way. He and his family lives in Fayette Township.

Happy's guide to the Cactus League
I've visited the great state of Arizona for Spring Training on three prior occasions.
This March/April will make it the fourth.
I'm not a seasoned veteran but I do feel like I've learned a bit on the way.
I've attended games at the following parks:
- Maryvale Baseball Park (Go Brewers!)
- Peoria Sports Complex (Padres/Mariners)
- Phoenix Municipal Stadium (A's)
- Scottsdale Stadium (Giants)
- Tempe Diablo Stadium (Angels)
- Tuscon Electric Park (D'backs)
Here's my guide to maximizing your travels to the Cactus League…
(only based on my opinions/personal experience).
Best Cactus League stadium for watching a game:
Scottsdale Stadium (SF Giants)
- Originally built in 1955
- Replaced in 1991
- 12,000 capacity
This park is a beauty. I attended in 1999 to catch a glimpse of Bonds.
Not the best for ballhawking when I was there due to crowds out on the berm.
Scottsdale is the nicest city in the Phoenix metro area (expensive, too).
The Pink Pony Steakhouse
(from Yahoo business overview)
In the days when downtown Scottsdale was truly still "the West's most
western town," this venerable venue was THE place to gather. For many,
it still is. The dining room is cowboy, but the bar is purely a sports
shrine. Baseball's Cactus League games are played at the nearby
Scottsdale Stadium and both players and fans can be found drinking and
dining. Steaks and prime ribs hit home runs here.
Speaking of prime rib…let me tell you-it was awesome!
Their slogan is "good place to day drink."
I went to the one in Scottsdale. Kind of an uppity crowd of 20's & 30's.
Fun bar with good Mexican food and drink.
When I went there, this is all I remember…
Man or woman…lots of beautiful single people in this bar.
Best scenery of any Cactus League Park:
Tempe Diablo Stadium – Spring Training home of the Anaheim Angels of Californiablabla (whatever they're called).
picture says it all. Beautiful mountains beyond left field. Bad for
ballhawking-if I remember correctly, they don't have many seats to sit
in the outfield😦
Best Cactus League stadium to ballhawk:
Maryvale Baseball Park (Brewers)
course, I'm biased a bit. This park is a hawker's dream! The outfield
is one gigantic grass berm. For a measly $6 berm ticket, grab a cold
one or ten, a blanket and run your butt off for the ball…it's a
It's in the roughest part of Phoenix (West-side), but once you're in the lot, the Phoenix Police Dept. takes care of the rest.
year, I was able to shag baseballs for the Brewers during one of their
practices at this park. Staff told me I had to throw the baseballs
back onto the field. That was fine with me…gave me a chance to show
off my arm a little.
My catcher you ask? None other than former star backstop-Ted Simmons. What a blast!
I look forward to that opportunity again.
Other cool things to do:
Visit the Phoenix Zoo.
Put on your hikers and hit the many trails.
The Grand Canyon…absolutely breathtaking.
A few notes:
- If you go, do yourself a favor…rent a car! Yeah, the Cactus League Parks are set up in close proximity, but you want the freedom.
- If you want to be safe and budget a little…stay in Tempe (home of Ariz. State Univ.).
- If you want to be safe and splurge a little…stay in Scottsdale.
- I would not recommend staying on the West side of Phoenix near the Maryvale neighborhood. (Trust me-I know crime statistics)
- If you go to the Grand Canyon, bring food, water and a good pair of shoes.
- It gets cooler at night so don't forget the sweatshirts!
- Tickets to most games (minus the Scrubs, err…I mean Cubs) are usually available day of game.
- Go early and wander around the parks you attend. This is your chance to reach out to your favorite players in a laid back setting…take advantage of it! It's pure heaven.
- Bring a baseball (or something similar) and a pen to get autographs
(when you least expect it-you'll see a player you want an autograph
of). By pure luck- I ran into HOF'er Reggie Jackson back in 2000. He
got dropped off at Peoria Sports Complex. I had an extra baseball in
my backpack and had it signed.
- Wear sunglasses and lots of sunscreen…yeah,
seems elementary, but you'd be surprised on how many trips are ruined
because of extreme sunburn. When you come from the Upper Midwest, like
me, your body is already a little paler than the next guy…it's been
hiding all winter. Protect it!
- Yuk it up with the players-this is your chance to interact!
- Bring your glove!!!!! (I refuse to elaborate on the obvious)
- Hit up Jack N' the Box. It's cheap fast food, but I'm obsessed with their burgers.
- Don't be afraid to ask the players whatever is on your mind. I had conversations with everyone that would listen.
- Don't be afraid to talk to your fellow fans.
If you're following a specific team, network with other fans of the
same team. You'll meet people from all around and you might even learn
make a new friend.
- Am I forgetting anything?
Again…if anyone will be in the Phoenix area March 27-April 2, give me a holler.

Hey Julia – Dad said he went to Philmont in high school and had a blast. Hope your husband and son have a great time too.
Happy – Thanks for all the helpful info. Hope to see you down there.
I try something new everytime I'm there. You'll get to Spring Training soon-I just know it! Only approx. 32 days!!
I would love to see you there! Support those Rockies!
I need an excuse to visit there. I could make up a phoney buried treasure map and hide somewhere. Then when someone finds it, I can convince whoever to take me, hoping I can also see the Grand Canyon and some games along the way. It all sounds too easy. Anyway, beautiful picture.
I didn't know the Giants minor league stadium was that beautiful! AT&T Park is beautiful as well! Great tips Happy, I'll be sure to remember 'em if I ever make a pilgrimage to Arizona!
you're never short on ideas!
Happy-What a great guide you've provided…I love reading the blog of someone who is as excited as I am about heading south for spring training. Too bad, our times down there don't match…Nice entry…D
Happy, do you happen to have the Brewers' fanmail address? The Brewers website doesn't have the new A-Z guide up yet and that's where is usually is. I need to sent Trevor my tribute…

On August 15, 2006, Jan Weisberg was named as the 11th head baseball coach in school history.
In his first five seasons on the Hilltop, Weisberg has posted an impressive 150-54 record after leading the Panther Baseball program through the transition to Division III. For his efforts, Weisberg was named 2010 Alabama College Coach of the Year by the Alabama Baseball Coaches Association and Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Co-Coach of the Year. In 2012 he was named the DIIIbaseball.com South Region Coach of the Year.
In Weisberg's time at BSC, the Pathers have won 4 SCAC Eastern Division Championships (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012). In 2012 they won the SCAC tournament championship and finished in the NCAA Central Regional Championship Game after earning the #1 ranking in the South Region with a 31-7 record in the regular season.
From 2008-2012, 33 players have earned All Conference honors under Weisberg's watch. The accolades include 3 Panthers who were named Freshman of the Year in the SCAC (Sam Hill 2008, Bruce Maxwell 2010, Blake Stevens 2012). Two players earned SCAC Player of the Year Awards (Drew Leachman 2011, Bruce Maxwell 2012) and one earned SCAC Pitcher of the Year recognition (Clay Malcolm 2011).
In additon to SCAC awards, 17 players have earned All-South Region Awards. This includes BSC's two South Region Player of the Year recepients (Drew Leachman 2011, Bruce Maxwell 2012).
Five Players have received All-America recognition (Brandon Ricco 2010, Drew Leachman 2011, Bruce Maxwell 2012, Miles Nordgren 2012, Blake Yance 2012). Bruce Maxwell was named the NCAA DIII National Player of the Year in 2012 and was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the 2nd Round of the 2012 MLB First Year Player Draft. Maxwell joined Leachman as the 2nd player to be drafted in Weisberg's time at BSC. Leachman was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 2011.
Prior to coming to BSC, Weisberg led Transylvania University to a second-place regular-season finish in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference, the highest finish ever in school history, and to its first-ever conference tournament berth in 2006. He had seven players earn All-Conference honors and implemented academic strategies which helped raise the team GPA from 2.83 to 2.95. Weisberg also created the first ever support group that raised over 15 percent of the 2006 budget and directed the school's first-ever summer baseball camps that had over 300 attendees.
Before Transylvania, Weisberg spent from 1991-2005 as a player and coach at the University of Kentucky. He earned two varsity letters from 1991-92, helping the Wildcats to a then-school-record 41 wins and an NCAA Regional berth in 1991. In 1992, the team captain finished the year ranked fifth on the single-season RBI list. Weisberg played at San Jose City College from 1987-90 before signing with UK. He helped SJCC to a California Junior League Final Four appearance in 1989 and was voted team captain in 1990.
He moved into the coaching ranks as a graduate assistant from 1993-94 before moving up to full-time assistant from 1994-2005. Weisberg added the tag of recruiting coordinator in 1999, serving in that capacity until his departure in 2005. He had three top 25 recruiting classes and 60 percent of UK players earned a GPA of 3.0 or higher during that stint. He also coordinated the team offense, instructed hitters, catchers and infielders, and coached third base. In 2000, the UK offense set new school mark for slugging percentage.
He and his wife Alyssa have two sons, J.T. (10) and Evan (3). Weisberg earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from Kentucky in 1993.

How they saw us thenMay 09,2013Seventy-five years ago, a summer visitor to the state would most likely have consulted the Guide to Vermont, published in 1937 by the Federal Writers Project part of FDRs Works Progress Administration. Today the Guide offers an intriguing look at how much Vermont has changed since that time, and how much its stayed the same.
From the very first sentence of the preface, the Guide celebrates community and cooperation, which is appropriate given that it was written by multiple authors as part of a New Deal employment project.
The preface asserts that out of a zealous desire to preserve Vermonts oversimplified reputation for individualism, people have long overlooked numerous examples of cooperation in Vermont, including, for example, the first Community Church in the nation, cooperative creameries, and house-raisings of earlier days. New Englanders have always had to work together, it argues. I thought the book protested a bit too much, but interestingly, the description of the state as a collaborative place does bring it more into line with Vermonts contemporary community spirit and abundant social capital.
Providing General Background are a dozen short essays on various topics. The shortest essay is on Racial Elements, which actually deals with the nationality of new immigrants to the state and not their race. The History chapter perpetuates the myth of early Vermont as a place empty of any real Indian settlement. Our understanding of Vermont before contact with Europeans has changed since the 1930s.
The essay about Transportation notes that Burlington is the states only radio-equipped airport. It also notes that electric trolley cars connect many towns, including Springfield, Vt., and Charlestown, N.H., with nine trips daily, four on Sunday. Would that we had such convenient public transportation in Vermont now, especially as we seek to reduce our use of fossil fuels.
The Recreation essay predicts, inaccurately, the creation of the Green Mountain National Park [which] would extend from Mount Ellen to the Lamoille Valley and would include Mount Mansfield and Camels Hump. And the Flora and Fauna chapter reports that a moose hasnt been killed in Vermont for decades.
The Guides descriptions of some Vermont towns are surprising. For example, it says, There is an aloof, independent spirit about Montpelier and its people, a coldness bordering on indifference. While the town displays an interest in the cultural phases of life, it remains backward in several respects. ... A community of white-collar workers, in part transient, lacks the social vitality which a more balanced economy supplies. That doesnt sound like the Montpelier of today. Barres granite-cutters are described in thinly veiled language about its new immigrants, as hard-working and hard-playing, notoriously a free-spending and pleasure-seeking people who contribute to Barres fast and lusty tempo. And it calls Woodstock one of the most charming villages in northern New England, adding that although a resort community, Woodstock has nevertheless retained the somewhat astringent quality of its native personality. Apparently thats meant as a compliment, one applicable to the state as a whole.
We learn about ourselves in part from seeing ourselves as others see us, and by knowing about our past. This book helps us do both.
Peter Gilbert is executive director of the Vermont Humanities Council. This essay was first aired as a commentary on Vermont Public Radio.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

I need some guidance.
I went to a party and my mom gave daughter expressed milk while I was gone.
I had 3 glasses of wine from 5pm and took my last sip at exactly at 7:30pm. Throughout this time I ate appetizers and dinner and drank water as well. I weigh 185lbs. I got home at 11:30 pm and my boobs were hurting so I pumped, daughter was asleep for the night already so I did not feed her. I pumped an all time record of 5ounces. So I didn't drink from 7:30 to 11:30.
I took the milk screen test three times. The first time, i didn't read it after two minutes, more like 5 minutes and it showed alcohol. The next two tests that I did didnt show any alcohol at all at the two minutes mark, nor did it showe anything later on. I have no more tests. Should I use the milk to freeze for my stash. I need a stash b.c I am starting college classes soon.

Nexus Mod Manager enters open beta - download now!posted by Dark0ne Game NewsIt is with great excitement that I am happy to announce that the Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) has entered open beta and is now available for public download.
NMM is the product of 11 months of work creating a simple yet feature rich tool that everyone can use to download, install and manage their modifications for the games the Nexus sites support. It is the successor to OBMM and FOMM so if you're a user of either then you'll want to move over to NMM to gain continued support and features. We currently have support for Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and New Vegas and the Nexus sites have been updated with new "Download with manager" buttons on file pages on these sites.
When you have NMM installed you will be able to click these buttons to instantly start file downloads (no ads, by the way!). Another click when the download is finished will install the mod. You can start as many file downloads as you want and NMM comes with full download pausing and resuming, so even if you exit the program the next time you start NMM it will resume your unfinished downloads from where they left off.
NMM is the successor to OBMM and FOMM, created by the programmer who took over from Timeslip, Kaburke.
Using the Nexus Mod Manager is completely optional, you don't have to install it to get mods from us, and your modding experience can remain exactly the same if you so wish.
I want to remind you that this is an open beta test which means that NMM is not a finished product. In all likelihood it will never be a finished product as we'll be constantly working on it to add new features and additional game support but right now, NMM is at it's "core" stage. That means we've added in all the important functionality that you need to download, install and manage your mods and we're at around the same level as OBMM and FOMM were, but we're in a much stronger position to really push on and make an even more awesome mod manager for you. We'll be adding in lots more over the coming weeks and months. This open beta is designed to allow you, the users of the program, to provide us with important feedback when it comes to any bugs or crashes you come across when using NMM. If the program doesn't work for you and you don't tell us, we can't fix it. So it's really important you provide us with the information we need if you come across any bugs or errors!
There's lots more information available on NMM, including information on the project, how and where to post bug reports and how you can help us with the development on NMM in our project subforums. It all uses the same user account as your Nexus user account so don't worry about that!
NMM is completely open source software. That means we're releasing all the code to the program so that you, or anyone, can look at what we have done. It's released under a copy-left GPL license that means you can help us to develop NMM, or you can create programs that work or integrate with it if you wish.
We are a modding community and we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for people sharing their work with others, be it the game developers sharing their toolsets with us, programmers sharing their utilities or mod authors sharing their work. Without people sharing their knowledge with others we would have nothing, and that's why releasing our code as open source is important to us. It means that:
- You can trust that what you're installing has no hidden files, no spyware, no adware and nothing nefarious
- You can modify and use the source code in whatever way you wish, so long as it adheres to the GPL license
- You can help us with the development of NMM through our SourceForge page, or create your own tools and utilities that work in conjunction with NMM
- Rather than only having a small team of closed developers working on the program, anyone and everyone can help contribute with their own skills and ideas
- NMM is a community-driven project based on sharing knowledge with others, rather than coveting it and using it to turn a profit
If you come across other sites and programs that do something similar to NMM, ask the authors why they haven't made it open source yet.

|2124.5 (2267)
The Enterprise is captured by Trelane, the childish ruler of Gothos.
En route to the Beta VI colony, the Enterprise must pass through a void, or "star desert" – a region of space where solar systems are not common, roughly 900 light years from Earth. While there, they discover a rogue planet comprised primarily of iron-silica. Sulu prepares to steer around it when he suddenly vanishes. Seconds later, Kirk also disappears.
Act OneEdit
Spock and the Enterprise conduct a sensor sweep of where Kirk and Sulu could be. The bridge crew conclude that their two missing officers have to be on the planet even though it is extremely inhospitable. Despite this, it appears to host some form of life and someone transmits a clear, if somewhat archaic, greeting. Beaming down, a landing party discovers a zone of Earth-like conditions, and within it, a large fortified manor (or small castle). Inside is a collection of bizarre artifacts and decorations – and the frozen forms of Kirk and Sulu. Almost as soon as the missing officers are discovered, the door slams, and a harpsichord begins to play; seated there is a foppish figure in a blue coat and ruffled shirt. He introduces himself as General Trelane (retired), the Squire of Gothos.
Trelane is friendly enough at first, but does not hesitate to make it clear that he is in control of the situation. When Kirk tries to leave, Trelane transports him to the outside of his home, which is filled with toxic gas. When Trelane returns Kirk to his home, the captain is choking and coughing. Trelane makes it quite clear that the landing party is not leaving.
Act TwoEdit
On the Enterprise, Spock has Scotty beam up everything that is considered a life form on the planet. The landing party beam up to the ship and an escape attempt lasts a few brief moments before Trelane appears on the bridge and returns the landing party plus the bridge crew, to his drawing room.
Several mistakes convince Kirk that Trelane is not omnipotent, and further lead him to conclude that some agency is assisting Trelane – a machine of some type. While Trelane flirts with Yeoman Ross, Kirk has enough and fairly sure that Trelane's mirror is his source of power, the captain challenges him to a duel.
Act ThreeEdit
During the duel, Kirk shoots the large mirror behind Trelane. Kirk's guess is right; intricate machinery behind the mirror is destroyed, and much of Trelane's creation collapses, enabling the landing party to escape and flee Gothos.
The respite is brief. The Enterprise flees in the direction of Beta VI, but Trelane reveals that his power is more extensive than yet displayed – he moves his planet Gothos several times to intercept the ship. Finally, Kirk realizes he must confront Trelane. And he does – a bewigged Trelane has established himself as a judge, and this time, his instrumentality is unbreakable. Trelane plans to murder Kirk for the crime of opposing him.
Act FourEdit
But it is all too easy for the powerful alien. Seizing on this, Kirk suggests Trelane needs a challenge, and offers to provide one, suggesting a hunt.
Trelane hunts Kirk for a time, but soon enough captures him. As Kirk is about to be killed, he calls Trelane's bluff, breaks his sword and starts to scold him, like he would a child. Salvation comes in the form of Trelane's parents. It seems that Trelane is essentially a naughty child who has overstepped his bounds. His parents, telling Trelane that it is "time to come in now", free the Enterprise and take Trelane away to be disciplined.
Log EntriesEdit
- "Ship's log, stardate 2124.5. First Officer Spock reporting for Captain James Kirk. We are orbiting the lone, unrecorded planet in the star desert. For four hours, we have made every possible instrument sweep, but Captain Kirk and Helmsman Sulu remain unaccounted for. I have placed the ship on red alert."
- "Captain's log, stardate 2125.7. Science Officer Spock reporting for Captain Kirk. We've completed the fourteenth orbit of this planet without establishing contact with our missing officers or the parties sent to find them. Subspace communications remain blocked. However, by diverting impulse power to our sensors, we have made them operable and we have detected one small area on the surface which seems relatively stable."
- "Captain's log, stardate 2126.1, delayed report. The whole bridge crew are the unwilling guests of the creature who calls himself Trelane. We are weaponless, powerless, and our only hope of escape with the Enterprise lies in playing his games. I've decided to make my move with the 'field-of-honor' game, and everything depends on my one chance with the ancient dueling pistol."
- "Captain's log, stardate 2126.3. First Officer Spock reporting. Still no word from Captain Kirk on the surface below us. Waiting time is almost up. I will soon be forced to attempt departure, as per instructions."

Background InformationEdit
Story and ScriptEdit
- Paul Schneider originally wrote this episode as an anti-war statement, and got his inspiration by seeing children playing war. [1]
- The exact century in which Star Trek was set had not been determined during the filming of this episode. Kirk refers to people and events of the 18th and 19th century as being 900 years in the past, which could have placed the series in the 27th century or later.
- De Forest Research, Inc., the company who reviewed scripts for clearances and other related matters, noted in their commentary on the line "Then you've been looking in on doings nine hundred years past": "Other scripts have placed Star Trek c. 200 years in the future, e.g. "Shore Leave". That places this reference in the 13th century."
- Uhura refers to a "Spacefleet Command", even though the names Starfleet and Starfleet Command originated several episodes earlier in "Court Martial", and again in the two-part episode "The Menagerie, Part I" and "The Menagerie, Part II".
- The plot of this episode shares many similarities with "Charlie X" in that they both feature a person of limited maturity with psychic powers who abuses them and in the end is taken away by other powerful psychic beings.
- Trelane's words on meeting Yeoman Ross, "Is this the face that launched a thousand ships, and burnt the topless towers of Ilium? Fair Helen, make me immortal with a kiss" are a slight misquote from Christopher Marlowe's 17th century play Doctor Faustus (play). [2] [3]
- In the closing credits of the show, the title for Script Supervisor is misspelled "SCPIPT SUPERVISOR".
Sets and PropsEdit
- An M-113 creature is among the trophies on display in Trelane's castle. When Dr. McCoy (the creature's last defender in "The Man Trap") sees it, he does a double-take. During the scene the howling music theme from that episode is heard. It is possible that Trelane had observed Planet M-113 with his telescope at some point.
- Barely visible before Trelane vaporizes it with the phaser is a strange bird-like creature with striped legs that is also in a display niche. It somewhat resembles the bird creature from the Talos zoo in "The Cage", but its exact identity is unknown.
- The laser beacon, appearing previously in "Charlie X" and "The Galileo Seven", was reused as a sort of soldering tool by Kirk in "The Doomsday Machine". It is identified in The Making of Star Trek as an "Offensive/Defensive Ray Gun," a description later used by Franz Joseph in the Star Fleet Technical Manual.
- In the remastered version of this episode, the appearance of Gothos was significantly improved over the original version.
Cast and CharactersEdit
- Leslie (Eddie Paskey) is in the captain's chair when the crew first escapes Trelane. Leslie appears in the big chair one more time, in "The Alternative Factor".
- According to an interview with William Campbell in The World of Star Trek, in his fight with William Shatner in the forest, he fell down and dislocated his shoulder. Fortunately, as he flung his arm up in his instinctive reaction to the excruciating pain, the shoulder popped back into its socket.
- In the same book Campbell recounts that producer Gene L. Coon pushed for his casting as Trelane, as he had seen him in other projects, and thought Campbell would make a great "English fop" and would be nice in "comedic sinister" role. However, casting director Joseph D'Agosta had doubts about his abilities in such a role, so Campbell had to read for the part, which he eventually got.
- D'Agosta's original choice for Trelane was Roddy McDowell. However, when Campbell went for his audition, he had just read one paragraph, when D'Agosta broke it up, saying "Go straight to wardrobe. He's perfect for the part." [4]
- Spock and Kirk clearly call the meteorologist Mr. "Yay-gur", but both McCoy and DeSalle say "Jay-gur". Based on the German spelling "Jäger" (a common German surname which means "Hunter"), the correct pronunciation would be "Yay-gur".
- According to The World of Star Trek, production was held up in the desire to be as accurate as possible – William Campbell's first wig was a French hairpiece. He demanded that an English barrister's wig be found to fit his character.
- A 27 October 1966 memo from Bob Justman to Gene Coon stated in part: "If we transport McCoy, Jaeger and DeSalle down to the surface of Gothos in the orange space suits that we used in "The Naked Time", then the audience will take a full half hour to stop laughing from what our people look like."
- A brief split screen allows bars to appear and block Kirk's escape at the end of the show without having to rely on editing.
- When first encountered, Trelane is "playing" the Sonata in C Major, K.159 by Domenico Scarlatti. [5] [6] The second tune that Trelane plays after showing the flags to Captain Kirk and stating "Can't you imagine it, captain? The thousands of men marching off to their deaths, singing beneath these banners. Doesn't it make your blood run swiftly?" Is Sonata in G minor, K.450 by Domenico Scarlatti. The tune Trelane has Uhura play on the harpsichord is Roses from the South by Johann Strauss II, complete with decorative interpolations. When Campbell is playing the instrument it is obvious he is just randomly moving his fingers over the keyboard, but this works since we learn later that Trelane is making the instrument play with his powers, not actual musical ability.

People who think this will replace still cameras for more than a few niche purposes are kidding themselves.I had a look at the Mysterium specs and as far as I can tell you get:- a very wide aspect ratio, nearly 2:1- no control whatsoever over exposure time- no variable ISO setting- zero compatibility with flash- serious power requirements if you want use continuous lighting on location- no used market for cheap parts or lenses- only 12 MP- less dynamic range than MFDB(if I'm wrong about any of these please show us all a link with more info)All for $17,500, and that's just the body.If anyone else introduced a camera with a fixed ISO setting and a fixed shutter speed at this price and resolution, the forum would trash it immediately, and rightly so.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=218307\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
if the red has a fixed iso and fixed shutter no one would buy it i think...
Even if there is some control over shutter speed, I'd like to know how it's possible to achieve a 10 second exposure from a camera running at 30fps [a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=218656\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Im also interested whether one can do action freezing short shuuter speeds - say 125th and aboveS[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=218657\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

You have no items in your shopping cart.
This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYThat Padres uniform isn't all that colorful but the reds, whites, blues and yellows surrounding Tony Gwynn really make this card sharp. Gwynn played in his third straight All-Star Game in 1986 and was 0-for-3 against AL pitching in Houston as the NL's leadoff hitter.

Audits to examine Vt. mental health services
MONTPELIER State Auditor Doug Hoffer says hell use his office to find out whether taxpayers are getting good value for the $300 million spent annually on local agencies that administer mental health services on behalf of state government.
An examination of Vermonts 13 designated agencies is among the four new performance audits Hoffer announced this week. He said Tuesday that the huge sums of money spent on the designated agencies, along with the unconventional manner in which the dollars are disbursed, make the organizations ripe for analysis.
We have no reason to believe its a problem, he said. However, given the magnitude of the relationship with the state, and given the importance of the services, it seems perfectly reasonable for us to ask the question of not only whether grant agreements are being enforced, but if the performance and outcome measures contained within the grant agreements are being met.
Hoffers 10-person staff will also launch performance audits looking at the accuracy of data in the sex offender registry, the potential for increased revenue generation at the Department of Liquor Control, and whether government agencies complied with a 2011 law that mandated 5 percent reduction in energy consumption in state buildings in 2012.
Hoffer said his staff selected the audit topics after running risk assessments that show the potential of an audit to do things like expose waste or fraud, recover taxpayer funds or have a positive financial effect on state programs in the future.
While the designated agencies scattered across the state arent part of Vermont government, they administer taxpayer-funded services to people with mental health conditions and developmental disabilities.
Hoffer said its been awhile since the auditors office scrutinized the programs. In light of a 2011 law that set out specific goals for the agencies, he said, it makes sense to take an in-depth look now.
Hoffers audit will be the first to look at reductions in energy consumption at state buildings in the wake of the efficiency law. He said compliance officials designated by the state might not have the expertise to determine whether agencies met the 5 percent benchmark.
The Department of Public Service is the party which collects the information from various departments and agencies. However, they do not really control the process inside those departments and agencies, Hoffer said. Were not entirely sure (compliance monitors) have the kind of expertise that would make them especially qualified to do that so well find out if its working.
The audit of the sex offender registry aims to determine whether the state has remedied errors on the site uncovered in an audit released in 2010 by Hoffers predecessor, Tom Salmon.

On Tap Today: Panic! at the Disco at the Rave's Eagles Ballroom
The Rave is rocking this week. Less than 24 hours after Jack White's sold-out show at its biggest venue, the Eagles Ballroom, Brendon Urie with pop band Panic! at the Disco will step on the Eagles stage for a 7:30 p.m. show tonight.
Jack White brings amped-up energy to the Rave
Jack White's Monday night concert at the Rave's Eagles Ballroom reportedly was the fastest sellout in venue history: about 3,500 tickets gone in seven minutes flat.
So naturally, excitement was high — higher, perhaps, than the stifling temperature in the room. But the person who seemed most thrilled to be there Monday was White. »Read Full Article(1)

San Antonio, Texas
July 12-15, 2004
Presselâs 16-stroke margin of victory ties Girls Division record
SAN ANTONIO â Morgan Pressel of Boca Raton, Fla., picked up her seventh AJGA victory in dominant fashion Thursday, shooting a tournament total of 4-under-par 212 and tying the AJGA Girls Division record for margin of victory with a 16-stroke win at the Valero Texas Open Junior Shootout. In the Boys Division, Josh Hedge of Billings, Mont., put the finishing touches on a brilliant week, shooting a 1-over-par 73 and capturing his first win in an AJGA Open tournament by four strokes.Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Valero Texas Open Junior Shootout was a 54-hole, stroke play event featuring junior golfers from nine states and Mexico. 101 Texans were among the 120 juniors, who range in age from 12-18. 2004 marked the 13th year the AJGA has staged the event in the San Antonio area.Pressel, who led the field by 12 strokes after two days, shot even-par 72 in Thursdayâs final round, capping off an impressive stretch for one of the AJGAâs hottest players. Last week, Pressel won the Rolex Tournament of Champions in Sunriver, Ore., her first major victory. âToday I just tried to put the ball on the fairway and on the green,â Pressel said. âI actually ended up hitting only seven fairways but I was able to score.âI hope I can keep the ball rolling â my goal is to win every tournament I play in. Iâm not making too many mistakes and if I do, I try to handle them well and not make huge numbers.âCaney Hines of San Antonio finished in second place with a tournament total of 228, and Tamara Campbell of Lawton, Okla., placed third with a tournament total of 232.In the Boys Division, Hedge, who led by six strokes entering Thursdayâs final round with a two-day total of 10-under-par 134, never relinquished the lead, shooting a steady even-par 36 on the front nine and carding a 1-over-par 37 on the back side.âI never really felt pressure out there or heat from the groups ahead of me,â Hedge said. âI still played really aggressive but never felt like it was closing up.âThe win was Hedgeâs best finish in an AJGA event since placing 12th at the Las Vegas Founders Junior Golf Championship in June.âThis was a very surprising victory. But the way Iâve been hitting it, Iâm not surprised at how I scored,â Hedge said. âThe first two days I played two of the better rounds Iâve ever played â I felt like I was rolling, the putter was really working, and it was just a lot of fun.âRobby Ormand of Austin, Texas, shot a 2-under-par 70 to finish second with a tournament total of 5-under-par 211. Tying for third place were K.T. Livingston of Midland, Texas, and Geoff Howard of San Antonio, each carding tournament totals of even-par 216. Nick Olivarri of San Antonio came in fifth place with a tournament total of 217.The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA has a membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.Titleist, the AJGAâs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associationâs success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, a supporter of the AJGA since 1983, became an AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.For more information on the Valero Texas Open Junior Shootout, contact AJGA National headquarters at (770) 868-4200.

The long love affair of movie legends Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn is headed to the big screen, according to the Deadline Hollywood website.
Tracy and Hepburn, to be scripted by David Rambo (the NBC series Revolution), will track their complicated relationship from their initial meeting at the MGM studios in 1942, before they made Woman of the Year, until his death just days after they shot the final scene of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967).
The producers are looking for actors to play the iconic duo, who, through 27 years, starred in
nine films together. Tracy never divorced wife Louise, a staunch Roman Catholic, but his affair
with Hepburn was considered an open secret in Hollywood.

Bravo, these guys realized what a worthless style of music deathcore is and decided to play some real death fucking metal- Not to mention that it's also good. Carnifex also began making a transition towards death metal with their newest, and even Whitechapel's latest shows less core influence. Possibly this whole deathcore nonsense will die off soon, and a new era ruled by real heavy fucking metal will come

Small near-Earth asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass very close to planet earth on Friday, February 15. It is the closest approach an asteroid has made in recorded history.
The asteroid measures approximately 45-50 meters wide. (130 - 160 feet)
To put the size of the object in perspective, it's about half the size of a football field.
Here's a look at the size of 2012 DA14 compared to one of the retired U.S. space shuttles.
It will pass approximately 17,200 miles away from the earth's surface.
The space rock will pass approximately 5,000 miles inside the orbit of our communication and weather satellites.
There is zero chance of the asteroid hitting the earth, and very little chance of the asteroid striking a communication satellite.
An asteroid like this flies by earth every 40 years, but only strikes our planet every 1200 years or so.
The impact of a 50 meter asteroid would not destroy the entire planet, but would cause severe devastation in the area of impact.
A similar sized object caused a mile-wide crater in Arizona, when it struck nearly 50,000 years ago.
That asteroid was made of iron, which made the impact especially severe. An area approximately 50 miles around the impact site was devastated.
Scientists are still studying the impact caused by an asteroid that struck Asia in the early 1900s.
In 1908, something approximately the same size of the asteroid 2012 DA14 exploded over the atmosphere over Siberia, Russia.
This is an overhead satellite shot of the area of impact in the northern region of Russia.
The impact leveled hundreds of miles of forest. Researchers are still studying the event for more clues.
While 2012 DA14 will get very close to planet earth on Friday, it is fairly small compared to other asteroids, and will not be visible to the naked eye.
The asteroid will only be view-able to people living in eastern Europe, Asia and Australia.
2012 DA14 will have a close, but safe, pass by Earth on Feb. 15, 2013 at 2:25 p.m. EST. (Times listed on the graphic are in GMT)
2012 DA will not impact Earth, but it will come 'interestingly close' as NASA puts it. The rock will come closer to earth than many man-made satellites.
Asteroid 2012 DA 14 is traveling at about 17,450 miles per hour (28,100 kilometers per hour), or 4.8 miles per second
The asteroid will resemble a star of 8th magnitude. Backyard telescopes would be able to see the object, but the speed of the asteroid will pose a challenge.
Casual space observers will be able to see the asteroid with a backyard telescope, but it will be challenging. NASA says the asteroid will move a full degree, or about twice the width of the full moon, every minute.
Only the most experienced amateur astronomers will likely be able to keep track of the space rock.
This will not be the last time planet earth has a close brush with 2012 DA14. The asteroid's orbit around the sun is roughly similar to that of Earth, and it makes relatively close approaches to our planet's orbit twice per orbit.
The next notable close approach to Earth will be on February 15, 2046, when the asteroid will pass no closer than 620,000 miles from the center-point of Earth.
Scientists believe there are approximately 500,000 near-Earth asteroids the size of 2012 DA14. Of those, less than one percent have been discovered.

The Last Three Videos from the Baseball Prospectus event at Dodger Stadium
I divided the video recording into
three four videos so here are the final three.
This one is 5.59 minutes
This one is 2:30 minutes. This is the one where Pensando Azul asks Vinny "what ring is he wearing". He was wearing 1988 and he said it has been a long time.
And this is the last one. Here is where I asked Vinny if he is going to New York. It is more like I blurted it out.
Vin is right (he is always right) that the Dodgers playing in New York the night before and then the following night in San Diego is …well a little rough. Why is the schedule that way where the Dodgers play Tuesday and Wednesday at Yankee Stadium (why only two games?) and then Thursday thru Sunday at San Diego. Why not a day off on Thursday. I do hope something is changed where Vin can make the game but I understand if he does not.
2 Comments
With his contracted schedule, he can announce games from San Diego anytime. That Wednesday game might be an afternoon game which would really make for a short stay in N.Y.
I hope it is an afternoon game. My friend Lorena and I are planning on getting there the weekend before and head to Cooperstown. We never been there.

Mrs Jim.
Anyway.In my current languored state.while , Chris was watching DR WHO, I idly skimmed through some of the many photos posted on the excellent facebook page called Old Photos Of Halifax,West Yorkshire
My Gob was well & truely smacked when I came across the above photo.The caption read
All in all, a very apt & Timely post for this week's Sepia Saturday
(a reply from the Lady who posted the photo)
"Hi Tony,when I joined the Halifax site and saw your name I realised who you were and commented somewhere that I knew your mum. eventually I got the photos on, I have lots of the nursery but only this one with your mum on. It was Oct. 1968 when the nursery opened and I was the Nusery Nurse in charge until its close in 1974. Your mum came as a volunteer 2 sessions a week, she only stayed maybe a year or so, I really can't remember. Its funny to think I was only 18 and now turned 60, your mum must have been a good age when she passed away.I hope she had a happy life I do have fond memories of her working with me, even though it was a short time.

It's great to come across things like this, totally unexpectedly.
Ah... Laura Mitchell, Lee Mount... Brings back memories.
Used to live in Ovenden Green - a street that backed onto the Lee Mount area. Went back to find old house not long ago only to find the houses pulled down and the area grassed over.

What a wonderful photo to find! My mother also had quite a struggle with my father when she went to work at a similar point in time--I think it was 1968 in fact. Have a good one--I've been having lassitude too!

I've had similar thoughts Kurt.I guess everybody must work on the assumption that they have unseen photos of themselves floating about on the Internet.......as long as it's NOT on the "You Porn" site,i can can live with the possibility!

well tony, i'm pretty sure my "ass" is somewhere to be found on the web... no regrets!!
but talk about a small world. it's lovely to see a pic of your mom, a pic you knew nothing about. those were the days of the emergence of the woman's lib movement. where has it all gone? the new generation doesn't seem to appreciate what the previous generations have gone through. they lack a sense of history...
did YOU register ME to the sepia saturday blogroll? unless i was in a drunken haze, i don't remember listing myself there, as i felt i wouldn't have enough pictures to make quite the contribution. it's only a handful, to be honest. it's no biggie, but it leaves me confused, more than usual...

Hey, Tony! I've all the weeks for me to miss (June is an exceptionally busy month for me, always.)
What an amazing discovery, on so many levels. You truly MUST have been gob-smacked. What a wonderful serendipity.

Wonders never cease. What a joy to see your mothers class like that. I'd flip with shock and I'm sure you did as you say, got gob smacked!
Bless you and your family.

Tony, to paraphrase an old song by Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks "That's What I Like about the South"...
may I add that your posts...your BLOG...embodies all of...."That's what I like about the blogs".....This story on connecting with a part of your mon's life that you missed is just super duper!! My parents have been gone a long time....but I am still searching out and enjoying their stories! It keeps them close.

It was a remarkable find. I read about it from Alan's comments as I missed blogging last week. Having lost your mom I am sure it seemed a little unnerving. Great blogs.

That sweating business sounds excellent. I'll have to give it a try.
I went to a Turkish hammam once. Fun but a bit too busy.
Good Bill pic too.
