As we think about where we want Syracuse University to be five to 10 years from now, we should continue to focus-and extend upon-our many strengths, such as Maxwell and Newhouse. We will promote our reputation-nationally and internationally-as a university where excellence is connected to ideas, problems, and professions in the world-a place where excellence is tested in the marketplace.
Our great strength as a University is based on the interactive and collaborative nature of many of our programs, where faculty and students learn, discover, and create through deep engagement and exchanges with practitioners and communities throughout the world. We see this clearly in the work of our journalists, artists and architects, experts on government and public affairs, or technology and information studies. So, as we build selectively on traditions of excellence in the College of Arts and Sciences, the focus should be on scholarly areas in the humanities and sciences that also connect to the world, such as Religion and Society, or Environmental Systems. When we build excellence in our professional schools it should be done in a disciplined and focused way, connecting our emerging strengths in areas such as business, law, and engineering, to our highly visible strengths such as communications and public affairs. These truly interdisciplinary areas will resonate with real societal needs providing rich opportunities for new approaches and ideas-creating contexts that act as catalysts for transformational discovery.
Syracuse University is a place where creative exchanges occur easily across disciplines and colleges. We want our students to feel they have been given real, entrepreneurial opportunities in settings where students with diverse interests from diverse backgrounds can "mix it up." Our newest interdisciplinary programs, such as the Bandier Entertainment Industries Program or Goldring Arts Journalism Program, and our cross-campus Renée Crown Honors Program and Soling Program, have this profile of breaking new ground, as professors, students, and practitioners intersect on and off campus.
Discovery and learning at Syracuse must have no physical boundaries as we test ideas in the marketplace, be it through community geography or social entrepreneurship, technology commercialization and school reform, or immersions on Theatre Row or Wall Street, and partnerships with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) abroad or the Indigenous nations at home in Central New York. We have significant precedents for scholarship-in-action in all of our professional schools and in University-wide internship programs. We will now take our traditions even further, aggressively connecting to the world through active engagement with community, industry, practitioners, governments, and the professions, at home and abroad.
To reach our goals, we will make transformational investments in three areas:

Mexico's Tax Overhaul Has Middle Class Crying Foul
By Carrie Kahn • Sep 12, 2013
Mexico's president has unveiled a major shakeup of the country's tax system. His administration says it's aimed at capturing more of Mexico's paltry tax collection. Critics say it's unfairly targeting the middle class. Among the items slated for taxing: dog food and private school tuition.

Thank you to Fair Haven's bestAugust 15,2014Thank you to
Fair Havens best
But for the grace of God and two brave police officers, I would not be writing this letter.
On July 22 at 3 a.m., I woke the same time as my dog and saw a monster red ball of fire engulfing my garage and could feel heat. I called 911 from the living room where Id been sleeping the last two weeks while waiting for a decision about a serious operation I needed. Within five minutes of calling, two police officers came into my home and said, You must leave with dog, etc. They both turned back on deck to check the garage for fire and saw the end of my home was smoking and a window was blown out.
They took my water hose on the deck and tried to keep my home from bursting into flames. I stood, hanging onto my walker and saw heat vapors around both men. I was now in shock. One ran back in and said, Dawn, you must leave with me. Now, several times. He called for the other officer to help him to get me out with the dog. At this moment, two fire trucks arrived with an ambulance. Two men from the rescue squad took care of me while I wanted to know if both officers were OK.
These two men who saved me and my home until the firemen arrived turned out to be not both Fair Haven officers. Officer Rieble (sp?) was our own, while the other was Constable Brian Lewis from Irasburg.
How do you thank them enough? And how do you thank the rescue squad and Fire Chief Ward and his also brave men who worked hard to save my home and put out the garage, which was a complete loss.
We dont know how brave they all are until we need them. This includes Police Chief Humphries, who worked tirelessly, too.
All of them saved my home, myself and animals. You all will hold a big place in my heart forever. A Safe Path to all of you.

"It was just a tragic accident," Davis said. "No charges have been filed, and none are expected," Davis said Monday.
The accident occurred at a private residence on Wildcat Drive off FM Road 673 at about 5:30 p.m., Davis said.
The victim, identified as Carlos Valdemar Gutierrez, was among a group of family members attending a birthday party, and one of the guests got into a vehicle and backed out to leave.
The driver never realized that the victim was behind the vehicle.
Emergency Medical Service personnel from Angel Care Ambulance Service arrived and rushed the boy to Christus Spohn Hospital Beeville where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Davis said the boy's body was taken to Corpus Christi for an autopsy, and the case will be reviewed by the Bee County Grand Jury at a later date.
Davis said a grand jury review of the evidence is simply a formality in such cases. He said he did not expect any charges to come from the review.
Deputy Investigator Adam Levine was in charge of the investigation at the scene, and he was assisted by Deputy Sgt. Kevin Behr. Highway Patrol Trooper Kolton Kendall also assisted at the scene.
Gary Kent is a reporter at the Bee-Picayune and can be reached at 343-5220, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- Abstract
- We explore the behaviour of the blue galaxy fraction over the redshift range 0.75 ≤z≤ 1.3 in the DEEP2 Survey, both for field galaxies and for galaxies in groups. The primary aim is to determine the role that groups play in driving the evolution of galaxy colour at high z. In pursuing this aim, it is essential to define a galaxy sample that does not suffer from redshift-dependent selection effects in colour-magnitude space. We develop four such samples for this study: at all redshifts considered, each one is complete in colour-magnitude space, and the selection also accounts for evolution in the galaxy luminosity function. These samples will also be useful for future evolutionary studies in DEEP2. The colour segregation observed between local group and field samples is already in place at z ∼ 1: DEEP2 groups have a significantly lower blue fraction than the field. At fixed z, there is also a correlation between blue fraction and galaxy magnitude, such that brighter galaxies are more likely to be red, both in groups and in the field. In addition, there is a negative correlation between blue fraction and group richness. In terms of evolution, the blue fraction in groups and the field remains roughly constant from z = 0.75 to 1, but beyond this redshift the blue fraction in groups rises rapidly with z, and the group and field blue fractions become indistinguishable at z ∼ 1.3. Careful tests indicate that this effect does not arise from known systematic or selection effects. To further ensure the robustness of this result, we build on previous mock DEEP2 catalogues to develop mock catalogues that reproduce the colour-overdensity relation observed in DEEP2 and use these to test our methods. The convergence between the group and field blue fractions at z ∼ 1.3 implies that DEEP2 galaxy groups only became efficient at quenching star formation at z ∼ 2; this result is broadly consistent with other recent observations and with current models of galaxy evolution and hierarchical structure growth.

Toshiba Corp., the world's second largest maker of flash memory, announced Monday that it will start shipping 32Gb NAND flash memory products fabricated with 32nm process technology.
Application of the advanced 32nm process technology will further shrink chip size, allowing Toshiba to boost productivity and bring further enhancements to high density, small sized products. Samples of the world's first 32nm generation 32Gb (4GB) and 16Gb chip (2GB) products will be available in July in Japan. The 32Gb chips will first be applied to memory cards and USB memories and subsequently extended to embedded products.
Toshiba will start mass production of 32Gb NAND flash memories in July 2009, two months ahead of its original plan. 16Gb products will start to ship from the third quarter of FY2009 (October to December 2009). The new chips will be produced at Toshiba's Yokkaichi Operations, in Mie prefecture, Japan.
By accelerating process migration and integrating multi level cell technologies, and through continued advances in productivity, Toshiba intends to enhance its competitiveness in the memory business.

"I've seen the buses just running around all over town," said Clark, who owns Dakota Steakhouse and Golden Corral. "I know it's helped bring in a lot of people in."
Clark was speaking of the league's annual conference, hosted this year at the Clovis Civic Center and Clovis Community College.
The league closed up shop on the conference Friday morning, bringing an end to business for approximately 700 municipal employees throughout the state.
League Communications Coordinator Roger Makin stresses the economic footprint the conference leaves on a city. He couldn't give a concrete estimate, but said he would guess some dignitaries spend as much as $600 to $700 during their stay.
"(Participants) like to go out and eat," Makin said. "I'm sure the restaurants here did fairly well since we've been here. I'm sure Wal-Mart and Walgreens have had more people. It's across the board."
Clark said he noticed a few more customers at his restaurants, but said acquaintances at the chain restaurants, which include full bars, saw big returns. Golden Corral does not sell alcoholic beverages, and Dakota Steakhouse serves beer and wine only.
The buses Clark saw were provided by Whirlwind Tours of Clovis, which had eight buses constantly shuttled between the Civic Center, the college and hotels throughout Clovis.
Most customers only need a few buses, co-owner Kathy Adair said, so the league's needs were a boon for Whirlwind.
"Well, any business is valuable, definitely," said Adair, who has co-owned the bus company for 12 years. "This was very nice. We met some very nice people. It made the city look wonderful and they did a great job with the entertainment."
And what dignitaries couldn't find in Clovis, they went to Portales. City Manager Debi Lee said she talked to some conference participants who limited their conference trip to one day because hotels were completely booked in Clovis and Portales.
The people who did stay the full time made an impact during a time Clark admits isn't fun for restaurant owners.
"August is pretty much a slow month for us because of the back to school (season)," Clark said. "The younger kids are in school so the parents are buying supplies and clothes. The older kids have tuition and books."

This is a NASA Hubble Space Telescope near-infrared-light image of a three-light-year-tall pillar of gas and dust that is being eaten away by the brilliant light from nearby stars in the tempestuous stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula, located 7,500 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina. The image marks the 20th anniversary of Hubble's launch and deployment into an orbit around Earth.
The image reveals a plethora of stars behind the gaseous veil of the nebula's wall of hydrogen, laced with dust. The foreground pillar becomes semi-transparent because infrared light from background stars penetrates through much of the dust. A few stars inside the pillar also become visible. The false colors are assigned to three different infrared wavelength ranges.
Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 observed the pillar in February and March 2010.

Of course most of those grounds will never be used for Super League because one or at most two Championship clubs will make their way into Super League. So have the clubs unsuccessful in getting a SL license wasted their money and time?
Not at all. Thiis upgrading of stadia is very important for the public image of rugby league if the Championship is being televised every week. It will also help the club's gate receipts over the long term.
At the same time the stadium criterion is obviously very important for Super League clubs which are all going to be on television for at least one game a year. Moreover they too need to attract big crowds if they are to be successful businesses.
So the RFL has imposed a licensing rule that will help all clubs, regardless of their division.
Hopefully it will offer the same promotion incentive in 2015. However if it does so, it may have to contemplate expanding the number of Super League clubs to 16 then, because the clubs that get licenses for 2012 may all have satisfied all the SL criteria in 2014.
The slack Championship clubs, like Barrow, which have not yet provided an adequate stadium, will have to get their stadium improved or rebuilt if they want to ever be taken seriously for Super League.

Shumlins finalize divorceStaff Report | April 03,2013MONTPELIER — After separating in 2009, Gov. Peter Shumlin and his wife, Deborah Holway, have finalized their divorce.
Shumlin, 57, first shared news of the divorce publicly in an interview Monday with the online news outlet BuzzFeed. Shumlin spoke to the outlet at its New York City office while he was in town on work as chairman of the Democratic Governors Association.
Administration spokeswoman Susan Allen on Wednesday confirmed the divorce was finalized in March in Windham County Family Court. The couple, who had formerly shared a home in Putney, have two college-age daughters.
"Even though divorce is a sad occasion, Deb and I will be forever blessed by many extraordinary years together and two remarkable daughters," Shumlin and Holway said in a joint written statement. "No parents could ask for a greater gift than Olivia and Becca, and Deb and I are grateful that we remain friends and will continue to share our strong family. We make this statement in light of my public office, but Deb and I will have no further comment on this private issue."MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Simple Explanation
I've been wondering all these years until I recently watched The Silence of the Lambs. Surprisingly, the answer is here all along.
Hannibal: First principles, Clarice. Simplicity. Read Marcus Aurelius. Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature? What does he do, this man you seek?
Clarice: He kills women...
Hannibal: No. That is incidental. What is the first and principal thing he does? What needs does he serve by killing?
Clarice: Anger, um, social acceptance, and, huh, sexual frustrations, sir...
Hannibal: No! He COVETS. That is his nature. And how do we begin to covet, Clarice? Do we seek out things to covet? Make an effort to answer now.
Clarice: No. We just...
Hannibal: No. We begin by coveting what we see every day. Don't you feel eyes moving over your body, Clarice? And don't your eyes seek out the things you want?
Before I go further, I need to set a parameter before our discussion leads you to the wrong end. An instant murder or homicide, masochism, sexual fetishism or demonic possession are excluded from 'bad things' list. What I mean is a mind game, based on a case of repetitive immoral actions which mostly in psychological manner.
The perpetrator(s) might be your best friend, family, lover, co-worker, your boss, colleague, teacher, neighbor, etc. You can barely recall what your faults to them but when they start, they keep doing it over and over again until your life shattered. No physical harm involved, but they're dancing with your brain to see you fall which I believe as the cruelest crime in civilization. Still remember how good The Joker danced in Harvey Dent's mind in The Dark Knight?
If you take the bait, firstly you're gonna doubt your own judgment. You begin to question unnecessary things in your life, lose your self-confidence and get troubled with trust issues. Slowly but sure you're gonna end up all alone. Why? Cos everybody wants to stay away from you cos they think you're disturbed. That's the ultimate aim.
No need to worry cos nevertheless, there are two ways to encounter these kind of people. It's either you can be smarter than they are or simply avoid them as much as you can. You don't learn wisdom at school, after all. Let nature takes its course.
Next question I assume will be; "How can I be smarter than them?". You've read the explanation, you know the 'why', so it's your homework guys!

nice post, dev. very intriguing.ReplyDelete
People may did that. But as someone on internet said: 'you can take my life, but you can't take my facebook account!' So, I think how to make our life easier is more important than try to sue all human being who have shattered us.ReplyDelete
Anyway, it's great to discuss.
@Darin: Neah, on the contrary, every single account on the internet is vulnerable to be hacked. The correct saying comes from Mahatma Gandhi; "You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind."ReplyDelete
Geh.. You cheater.. making some explanation and then leave out the answer of your question to your reader :P heheh.. Anyway I really love this movie, and Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster acting.ReplyDelete
How to outsmart them?? It is not easy Dev, because the way we think usually not the same with them anyway. First, to outsmart them you should think the way they think and it is hard, because we should think a lot of horrible things in our mind. And then you must learn a lot of things.
If we can't do that, better avoid them (like you said) or keep yourself a company, like the saying two heads are better than one, isn't it??
I choose avoiding those.ReplyDelete
Minimize the communication as little as possible.
ever happened to me. yes indeed it's a close friend..
copying everything i did, i have...
@dee: *grin* Well it's surely not easy but it's not impossible. Don't worry, you're almost there! :)ReplyDelete
@ceritaeka: ah consider yourself lucky to have a secret admirer! LOL.
True... As for me, I simply move them from y "friend" list to "people who I happen to know" list...ReplyDelete
What an interesting post!ReplyDelete
I personally try my best to be positive, but how positive you can be when your environment is not?
I mean, I don't think a tree can grow well among the bad soil and dusty air.
And if you recalled The batman returns,, Joker was totally THE MAN! I even thought the title should be 'The Joker'. :D

PAYMENT will only be sent from a paypal to a paypal upon satisfaction of script (meaning no half ass thing that barely does its job and messes up alot), otherwise you may do it for free if you would like ^.^
I need something quick and easy where I can point to a url where the first page of a manga is at http://www.mangareader.net or http://mangapanda.com and it will crawl it and download each page till it reach's the end of it, the name format would be:
[name of manga].#.[image type here]
where # = number used in php script for exmp $count = 0 / $count++ <-this on each image download for that manga.
also uses mysql for storing anything that needs to be saved between each run, like page number for the manga.
and they are all saved in folders marked as the manga name.
needs to crawl let say 10 pages before it saves it spot and then picks it back up on next run.
once it runs outta imgs it puts a stopper value in mysql for that manga, so later i can change the value for when a new chapter comes out and can then download the new imgs.
it saves each url of each page for each manga, so when i recrawl a manga it skips everything i already did, yes i know it could just pickup where it left off, but this way i can be sure i wont end up with double manga pages.
simple web interface will work, just links and input boxs with submit buttons and text? sure will work, just going for useability here not pazza.
why do i want this? well I want to be able to take my manga with me sometimes, but having to find a source to download can be hard and torrents are not reliable source. this way I can set my server to crawl and download manga off my fav site, then in the morning iam good to go.

Frightening Breast Cancer Patients with Bad Science
No Time to Waste: Avoidant Coping Style Scrambles Circadian Rhythms in Breast Cancer Patients, warned the headline of an article in Clinical Psychiatry News. The article went on to claim
Even in the earliest days following a diagnosis of breast cancer, maladaptive coping styles are associated with a disruption in circadian rhythms –which are proven in metastatic disease to be a prognostic indicator of mortality. The surprising finding… holds potentially profound implications for the timing and tailoring of psychosocial interventions in newly diagnosed patients.
And it invoked psychoneuroimmunology for an authoritative sounding warning to breast cancer patients:
The fact that circadian disruption was significant in a subset of patients a mean 19 [sic] days after diagnosis suggests that there may be no time to waste in identifying and treating potentially maladaptive coping responses that could impact not only their adjustment, but also their prognosis.
Women who are diagnosed with breast cancer, enroll yourself immediately in a stress reduction program or support group, if you want to stem the progression of your disease and prolong your life! If you have metastatic disease, maybe you can blame your "maladaptive coping," your inept handling of the days and weeks immediately after your diagnosis. Such frightening messages to women who are vulnerable because they have just received their diagnosis should require high standards before being released. This article reeks of hype and distortion, starting with its emotional title, No Time to Waste and "Scrambles Circadian Rhythms," continuing with claims of "profound implications for the timing of psychosocial interventions," and ending with an exhortation to breast cancer patients that "early breast cancer patients certainly warrant paying closer attention to coping from Day 1."
The issue is not just skewered science, because the article contains information that is easily misunderstood without a proper context. Breast cancer patients are urged to take get psychosocial intervention under the threat that if they do not, they are missing an opportunity to control the progression of their disease. This is an example of the irresponsible nonsense that I have been complaining in the past two blogs. There is simply no evidence that psychological interventions can slow progression of cancer or extend life. Claims to the contrary serve to burden cancer patients with an unrealistic responsibility for the outcome of their medical condition. Patients who experience progression to a terminal condition are provided with an irrational sense that they are to blame because they did not take the right steps, namely avail themselves of effective psychological interventions. This article implies that breast cancer patients with an unfavorable course have brought it on themselves by getting too stressed out.
It's not clear whether journalist Betsy Bates Freed, PsyD. actually interviewed the authors of the study on which the story is based. Media coverage often offers direct quotes that appear to have been obtained directly from authors when they actually come from the scientific article. In this particular case, Freed provides a highly speculative direct quote that "circadian cycles regulate tumor growth" as if it came directly from the mouth of the lead author of the study. For the record, there is some evidence of an association between circadian rhythms and progression of metastatic breast cancer, but it is not clear that it is causal or affects"regulation" or in what direction any causal arrows run. Importantly, such findings have not been replicated with early breast cancer patients.
Clinical Psychiatry News is not some dubious CAM website, but an Elsevier published monthly newspaper with an advisory editorial board with recognizable scientist and clinician psychiatrists. It has largely free web access because of pharmaceutical company support. One has to question what editorial control over content is exerted before releasing articles like No Time to Waste.

SanDisk on Thursday said that it had signed a definitive agreement with Toshiba to restructure the Flash manufacturing joint ventures operating at the 300mm Fab 3 and Fab 4. The result of the agreement will be basic SanDisk's transition to fabless flash-based products manufacturing,
As part of the agreement, more than 20% of the joint-ventures' capacity will be transferred to Toshiba. Back in October, 2008, Toshiba virtually gained control over 30% of the joint ventures' (by signing memorandum of understanding), which means that now the Japanese electronics conglomerate controls all the flash capacities the belonged to joint ventures between SanDisk and Toshiba.
The restructuring will result in the transfer of equipment lease obligations from SanDisk to Toshiba and a cash payment to SanDisk for the transfer of certain equipment currently owned by the joint ventures. The total value to SanDisk is approximately ¥80 billion (approximately $890 million) based on current exchange rates. Approximately 66% of the total amount will reduce SanDisk's current equipment lease obligations by about 28% and approximately one-third will be received by SanDisk in cash. The lease transfers and cash payment are expected to be completed by the end of the first calendar quarter of 2009.
SanDisk and Toshiba will remain equal partners for the capacity remaining in the joint ventures. SanDisk will have the option to purchase a part of the transferred capacity from Toshiba on a foundry basis and retains the option to continue to invest up to 50% in future Fab 4 expansions and technology transitions in Fab 3 and Fab 4. In addition, the parties will continue their existing joint technology development in advanced NAND and 3D read/write memory.
"We are pleased to sign this definitive agreement with Toshiba which reflects the long-term commitment of both companies to our partnership. This agreement will reduce our capital spending, strengthen our financial position and increase our business flexibility by allowing us to return more rapidly to our desired captive/non-captive supply model. Importantly, this maintains the economies of scale of Fab 3 and Fab 4 for SanDisk and the deep technology and manufacturing cooperation between SanDisk and Toshiba," said Dr. Eli Harari, chairman and chief executive officer of SanDisk.

2005 Chevrolet Equinox Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2005 Chevrolet Equinox as reported by actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.Refine by vehicle
Vehicles with a 6speed automatic transmission may develop one or more of the following faults related to a broken 35R clutch wave plate inside the transmission: Illumination of the Check Engine Light with code P0716, P0776, P0717, P0777, P2714, P2715, and/or P02723, loss of reverse gear, slipping or harsh 3rd or 5th gear shift. Removal and dis-assembly of the transmission will be required to replace the broken 35R wave plate. It is also extremely important that all debris from the failed part be cleaned from the transmission while it is disassembled in order to try and prevent future problems.
A Loose or worn gas cap may cause Check Engine Light to illuminate.
The AC system may not blow cold at times. In many cases, replacement of the AC compressor has corrected this issue.
The day time running lights (DRL) resistor may fail causing the daytime running lights to stop working. Our technicians tell us a failed resistor will require replacement.
The front lower control arm portion of the front suspension may cause a rattling noise over bumps and require replacement.

Spring Training 2011: Goodyear Ballpark and Getaway Day
This is from our getaway day on Tuesday March 1st. The Dodgers were playing the Cleveland Indians at Goodyear Ballpark.
We checked out from our Presidential suite which we loved! and headed to Camelback Ranch to watch our boys in Blue practice.
Andre having a snack. Manny Mota's bicycle in the background.
We could hear Davey Lopes chewing the guys for some of their running blunders.
Trayvon Robinson. I remember when I went to to an Inland Empire game at San Bernardino, he made a great catch.
Andre Ethier posing with us. He was so nice that he waited for Lorena to join us in the picture.
On to Goodyear Ballpark.
Caption: "Something stinks here"
I love this banner at Goodyear Ballpark remembering Bob Feller.
They were selling Bob Feller baseball cards with proceeds going to the Bob Feller Museum so I bought this one:
And Randy of http://heirloom.mlblogs.com/ send this signed photo of Bob Feller! Thank you Randy!

Great pictures. Looks like you had a fun time!
Thanks Lourdes. If I could I'd go back this weekend but i got to curve my addiction :=)
Looks like you had a great time, Emma. And the weather looked great too – not a cloud in the sky.
Yeah, we had beautiful weather this second time. but the first time was not bad either as it only rain while we were driving to AZ and that night after we got back from dinner and drinks. We are expecting more rain this weekend here in the LA area. But just as long as is a beautiful day by Opening Day, is OK with me.
Hey Emma!
I know, it's been a while! (Let's forget about my brief post the other day). Great pics as always! I was telling my husband a few weeks ago that having our Boys in Blue's ST home so close to LA that I am getting those little "itches" to take a couple of days and just go over there. But $ still isn't that great right now and can't really afford it. Gotta save up $ to be able to go to the REAL games starting Opening Day! My mom and I will be at the game on the 31st and this year I am more like my mom. When I go to games (and granted, it's not near as often as my mom goes) I will be going armed with my new Dodger bag (it's the 2011 Season Ticket bag that my mom gave me), my blank score book, and erasable pens!
I was wondering though. Have the Dodgers said anything about having a #4 patch on their uniforms this year in honor Duke? I'm hoping they will and I'm sure they will, but I haven't heard anything lately…
Emma, love your pictures! It's neat that you can get right next to the players at Camelback. When we went to Phillies ST last year, it didn't seem like there was much opportunity for that – always a fence or something keeping you separate.
Awesome pics! I really like the Feller one… and Andre of course. What a nice fella!
That's a great tribute to Feller! The Dodgers always embrace their history, that's for sure. It looks like you had another great weekend and what great photos! I had no idea Ethier was such a sweetie.
I love the new 2011 bag. As much as I use mine, we do need a new every year. Yes, I heard that there will be a patch for Duke Snider.
Camelback Ranch was designed fan friendly to continue with how Dodgertown in Vero Beach was like. Still, Vero Beach was evern more .
fan friendly.
I love the Bob Feller banner that they have at Goodyear Ballpark.
Yes, that is a nice tribute to Bob Feller. If he was still alive and well, he would have been at Spring Training facility signing autographs. The pictures are from the same weekend. I just have not had a chance to post from the second trip but really, there are not that many and we lost the first game we saw 19-6.
Oh, and Emma. Love that countdown!!! 🙂
Thanks Mark! What an honor for you to visit here!
Thanks! Make sure you come back to see the little video where we sing to Loney at Camelback Ranch. It is very short and not well done but oh well🙂 Is done from the heart!
Will do Emma! Can't wait to see Loney's video!

Got this in an Email today. OK, go ahead! Shoot it down.
Exciting Historical information you need to know about shipping Manure:
In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship. It was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure were common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by-product is methane gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM!
Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening. After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term "Ship High In Transit" on them which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane. Thus evolved the term "S.H.I.T," which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.
You probably did not know the true history of this word. I dolike to keep you amused.

Sounds like a load of C(ogitized).R(akish).A(ppendage).P(ulling). to me.
From etymonline.com
shit (v.) - O.E. scitan, from P.Gmc. *skit-, from PIE *skheid- "split, divide, separate." Related to shed (v.) on the notion of "separation" from the body (cf. L. excrementum, from excernere "to separate"). The noun is O.E. scitte "purging;" sense of "excrement" dates from 1585, from the verb. Extensive slang usage; meaning "to lie" is from 1934; that of "to disrespect" is from 1903; used for "obnoxious person" since at least 1508. Shat is a humorous past tense form, not etymological, from 18c. Shit-faced "drunk" is 1960s student slang; shit list is from 1942.

State board looking at principals
The critical roles played by school principals are apparent to most in the education community. A plan by the West Virginia Board of Education to look into how principals affect the quality of education is long overdue.
Too often, principals are seen not as education leaders but as building managers and troubleshooters. They ensure the doors are open in the morning, heating systems are working, and that if a teacher has a discipline problem, it is taken care of appropriately.
But study after study, including some research right here in West Virginia, backs up the role of school principals as education leaders and coaches for teachers.
An organization called Imagine West Virginia is involved in reconsidering the role of principals. Its executive director, Jack Bowman, already has made recommendations.
Bowman's most critical suggestion is that school officials ensure principals have time to serve as education leaders and coaches. He noted that some principals devote only about one-fifth of their time to such tasks because they have building management work that demands attention.
Bowman is right – but that does not necessarily mean setting up a whole new layer of school administration to handle principals' non-educational tasks. Surely some way of freeing up more time for the principals – dare we suggest eliminating some of the red tape entirely? – can be found.
But state board as well as county school officials should pay close attention to the quality of school principals, too. It is no secret that some simply are not qualified or inclined to be the kinds of coaches teachers need to improve.
Also important to consider is training new generations of effective principals. Incentives for proven classroom teachers to go into administration should be retained, or even increased. Too many have decided they do not want the headaches of managing an education institution and, again, some of that goes back to the red tape.
State board members are right to be looking at the issue of school principals. No other position has the potential to improve a school more – or to allow it to slide into a cesspool of mediocrity.

These are sad days for disco. The only worse thing that could happen right now is if something unexpected occurred to Gloria Gaynor, may she live a long life. Donna Summer's passed, now we hear of one third of the Bee Gees Robin Gibb's death. That trio produced more disco hits than any other band of their time. Sad news.

Every day there is news of death and destruction, and the media loves to find it and broadcast it. Earthquakes, hurricanes, or today...a bomb in Pakistan. You might just be having anxiety or fear. It seems to me that there is a general consensus among everyone...a sort of unspoken agreement that "something" is about to happen. Or that things are changing. Everyone is a little on edge, and I bet there might be a little mass hysteria brewing. I would assume you are just sensitive to a lot of the chaos these days. However, if your visions prove to be prophetic...accurate...you should share that. Do they feel like things that are GOING to happen? Do they have a sense of familiarity? I don't really believe in hell. There isn't quantitative evidence for it. But there IS quantitative evidence that suggests people can witness future events, or current ones remotely.oraculum posted:9/4/2012 8:27:40 PM Levinus they are very familiar places to but in a detached sort of way, like deja vu.

This Oct. 15th is a likely date for an attack by Israel on Iran, persons may start to have premonitions because their minds are fearful of what is developing. Do not fear the deaths of billions of people. It is possible for humankind to live pass such events. There has been decades of preperations and trillions of dollars spent on the likelihood of this happening, it is with regrets that the energy place into this occurance increased the chances of the event happening. HIV/AIDS has given decades of Biotech development we did not have in the early 1960's. FIV [feline, cat] disease was added to show which group had done the work and which social class favoured this technology. They do so love their horses, but the release of an EIV virus at this time would be as cruel as the release of the FIV was. FIV was release because cats were gods to those who are written to have enslaved those folks and apartment owners dislike the smell of cats their renters may own. It was an attack both against both the poor and also the believers in the Koran. A CIV directed against dogs would only divide folks along the wrong lines. Leave it in the hands of God.gary107 posted:10/10/2012 10:31:15 AM there are people who want the attack this Monday to help Mitt R win our national elections in a few weeks. This will be the first time Atomic bombs are dropped during military action since Aug. 1945. The bunker bombs will come first, then the stealth bombers will follow with their A-bombs. The world will blame the USA for selling these weapons to Israel so that they could carry out this strike. Fill up on gas and buy gold before Monday, then just hold tight.

How about "got gawown"...as in "got gone". The first time I heard it was from a little mountain girl I was talking to while her Mother seined minnows from a creek for the bait we needed. They were both barefooted. I thought the mother of the little puppies (who was absent) has gotten a disease I had never heard of...of course it meant she wasn't there any more. I had only lived in the area for 2 months...found out it not uncommon in my little city either!

...have its head cut off, however. I just don't think I could handle the trauma.
and Could turn you into a vegetarian!
I was fancinated by the live poultry market as a child-- is was set up as small factory-- you chose a chicken, the chickens feet were put into a vice, the butcher cut off the chickens head, and immediately hung it by the vise on its feet-- and from then on, it was automated-- there was a machine with rubber "fingers" that plucked the chicken...
I always wanted my mother to buy a fresh chicken.. (but my dad was a butcher and he bought all the meat for the household)...
I was never around chickens enough when they were alive to develop any feeling for them. The process was mechanical, and the death was swift-- I liked seeing how live chickens turned into food.-- growing up in the city, i was disconnect from how most food was produced._________________________

In the first year of Latin I learned that sincere meant "without wax" referring to an ancient Roman custom of cheating by filling defects in marble with wax to hide them.
So the only sin in sincere is working some scam while pretending to be honest.

Yes, it does seem like everyone else hated Latin. Anyway, what about "a shot in the arm"? I always thought of that like getting punched , or maybe poisoned, but a commercial on the radio uses it as if you're getting medicine.

I thought sincere was from a later date-- and refered to alchemy--
where a small ball of gold was covered with some wax, and then rolled in lead dust. and the "alchemist" could make the lead go through "sublimations" of fire (with some magic words) and turn the lead into gold... (gee, i wonder how they did that?)
some alchemist were also con artist--and would "sell the secrets of turning lead into gold" and skip town before some on realized that in couldn't been done sincerely!
even if it dates from the ancient romans, it got a boost from alchemists!_________________________

Ryan Broshear: gone fishin'
Rising country star and avid fisherman Ryan Broshear is packing a bag and heading for Sullivan County, preparing to throw out the first cast as Guest Celebrity during the trout season's opening ceremony at Junction Pool in Roscoe, NY on Saturday, April 5. Roscoe has been known as Trout Town USA for decades and was named "The Ultimate Fishing Town in the USA" by the World Fishing Network (WFN) in June 2011, garnering bragging rights, global attention and a $25,000 prize given to the town for fishing-related activities. The town's official website (www.roscoeny.com) states that Roscoe's natural setting includes "five of America's top trout streams and numerous reservoirs and lakes," making the spot "an anglers paradise;" and it suggests that if visitors "come cast a line in our waters, they'll be hooked for a lifetime."
According to Broshear that's exactly what happened when he and wife Amie visited for the first time. "I was doing a guest appearance on the radio [www.thunder102.com] and we got to talking about fly fishing. The folks from a local brewery [www.roscoebeercompany.com] were in the studio that same day and invited us to tour the facility, and Amie and I fell instantly in love with the region. I love fishing and enjoy a good beer, so my relationship with Thunder 102, Roscoe Beer and Trout Town USA began the journey that has led me to this special day." Broshear's passion for fishing began when he was four years old, when his dad and grandpa showed him the ropes, starting him off "on an old cane pole." Reminiscing for a moment, Broshear shared some memories. "My dad wasn't much of a conversationalist," he said, "but he loved country music and he loved to fish. I learned early on that if I wanted to spend time with him, those were two things we could share." Both his mom and dad were "always supportive" of Ryan's love of country music, and he recalls that he "started singin' along with the radio [in Texas] at about six years old. "Mom got me a guitar and a year's worth of lessons for Christmas when I turned 12, and I started my first band at 14." Although his parents eventually divorced, they were a united front when it came to encouraging Broshear to follow his dreams. "My passion for playin' and singin' was never an inconvenience for them. My whole family sang in church, and being a man of few words, my dad would share his favorite country songs with me as a way of communicating his feelings."
His "biggest fan" and wife of five years, Amie Metze Broshear, runs her own business, travels with Ryan and (according to the singer) is "totally responsible for the path my career has taken." Without her, he said, "I'd still be playin' in smoky bars, singin' other peoples songs. When we moved to Nashville, Amie challenged me to write my own songs and be the best that I could be, and I owe it all to her."
As Trout Town's Celebrity Guest this year, Broshear is excited. "I'm so honored," he said, "to be included in this elite group. President Jimmy Carter, movie star Mark Ruffalo and television's Sally Jesse Raphael have thrown the 'first cast' in years past, so I'm truly humbled and feel blessed to be in such great company." Prior to the opening ceremony, Broshear will appear in concert at the Monticello Casino and Raceway on April 4 at 9 p.m. and perform his latest single "Make Each Moment Last," along with other hits from his self-titled album. Named one of Billboard Magazine's County Artist's to Watch in 2014, Ryan Broshear is looking forward to many more visits in the future. "Amie and I will be spending time here for the rest of our lives," Broshear concluded. "This place is special and comfortable and feels like home. Let's go fishin'!"
