RC tennis team: conference champs
From River City High School
For the 17th time in the past 18 seasons, the River City High School Tennis Team has won a league championship. Last week's 5 to 4 win at Cosumnes Oaks clinched the 2013 Sierra Valley Conference (SVC) title for the Raiders, bringing the total number of league championships in RC's tennis history to 19.
The visiting Raiders started off slowly, dropping both boys singles matches at Cosumnes Oaks, but Cindy Oseguera (6-4,6-3 at #1) and Lily He (6-4,6-1 at #2) came through in girls singles. It was a similar story in doubles as RC lost both boys doubles contests while getting wins from the girls pairs of Sarah Yang and Sonia Bola, 4-6,6-2,(10-2) at #1, and Nicole Melido and Julia Quenga, 6-0,6-0 at #2. With the league title on the line, the mixed doubles duo of Lina Vang and Phillip Dinh brought home the pennant with their 6-3,6-2 triumph.
Also last week, at the SVC Singles and Doubles Tournament, Michael Lee and Lina Vang won the mixed doubles championship to qualify for this week's Sac-Joaquin Section Tournament. Lee and Vang defeated teams from Cosumnes Oaks (10-2 in the quarterfinals), El Dorado (6-3,6-3 in the semis), and Vista del Lago (6-3,6-3 in the final.) Teammates Oseguera and Yang will be joining them at the Section tourney as they came in second place in the SVC girls doubles event. The defending SVC and Section girls doubles champs came up short in the final to a pair from Vista del Lago, 6-2,3-6,(7-10), but are eager to try to repeat their 2012 result in Stockton at the Section tournament.
Other results from the SVC Tournament: Edward Xu and Ben Gerelkhuu took fourth place in boys doubles while Matthew Tagupa and Muradan Chhay reached the quarterfinals. In mixed doubles, Amran Khan and Sonia Bola came in third place. Lily He reached the quarterfinals in girls singles and Nicole Melido won the girls singles consolation championship by defeating the top players from both Galt and El Dorado. In the boys singles consolation event, Phillip Dinh downed teammate Akshay Prabhakar in the final.
Next up for the Raiders, in addition to the Section singles and doubles tournament, are the Section Division III team championships. RC will play either Marysville or Highlands in the Round of 16 and a win will allow the Raiders to host a quarterfinal match on Monday, May 6th at 4pm against the winner of the Argonaut vs. Colfax match.

City of West Sac's hotel project moves forward: new location near Raley Field
By Steve Marschke
News-Ledger Editor
West Sacramento's latest approach to bringing a hotel and conference center to its riverfront moved along last month after support from city council members.
A prior vision for the hotel placed it north of the Tower Bridge, operated by Marriott and owned by the city. Marriott is still in the picture as a potential hotel operator, but the new project is planned as a public-private partnership. It's now on what the city calls a "premier" 2.7 acre site just south of the Tower Bridge, next to Raley Field and the Sacramento River. The proposed developer is Encore Garfield Public Private LLC.
On the drawing board are 343 rooms with a 20,000-square foot ballroom facility. Project cost of $130.8 million includes an expected $30 million in bonds backed by indirect income from the project. City consultants have said that a hotel with a conference center can't be done here without public assistance.
Why is it a worth goal to risk public money for?
Such a hotel "would catalyze development on the riverfront, generate direct and indirect jobs, generate new tax revenues, and increase business and leisure visitation to the City," according to a West Sacramento city staff report.
"I've. . . watched over the years as this city tried over the years to come up with an iconic project to really get this Bridge District going," said Tony Giannoni, a member of the developer team. "That idea always seems to be a conference center/hotel."
[adrotate group="7″] Giannoni made those comments in a March 20 West Sacramento City Council meeting (those comments were taken from city video of the meeting).
The development plan calls for the city to finance its $30 million in bonds for the project from a combination of hotel room taxes (about 12 percent of the room rates), another 2 percent room surcharge, property tax revenues from the future hotel, and lease payments from the hotel operator for use of the city-owned conference center.
City staff told the council March 6 that the bonds would not affect the city's credit rating and revenues appear adequate to safely repay the bonds. If the income were not adequate, the city's general fund would have to backfill a shortage.
As for the hotel's conceptual design, architect Mark Hornberg of Hornberger + Worstell said the 20-story design will stay true to the city's vision for the Bridge District.
"(We're) trying to have our design address key tenets of that design, including activating the riverfront, reemphasizing connections with the river, activating the pedestrian realm, creating streetfronts that hide parking and emphasizing retail, restaurant, food and beverage (and) meeting revenues."
The ballroom and "junior" ballroom will have outstanding views, he added.
"Both of those spaces have magnificent windows onto the river, the river environment, the Crocker Gallery across the river," said Hornberger. "It will be a sought-out destination in this community."
Mayor Christopher Cabaldon called the project a "critical" piece in promoting activity on the local river, and said the city would only be using revenues "that would not exist if we did not move forward."
"There's no diversion of funds we could have otherwise spent on police, fire, parks or any of our other (city) services," he said at the March 20 meeting.
Mayor pro tem Chris Ledesma called the plan a "solid" one.
"I am excited about it, it's generating excitement in my neighborhood, in the city and in the region," said Ledesma.
With the council's support, the project continues. A city staff member confirmed yesterday that the various negotiations involved are still underway.

Norman Safeground has been made aware of a potential issue in the front-end module of Npro where a high network traffic volume of a certain kind may cause the process to 'get stuck' with a high CPU utilization. We have started work to analyze the problem, to determine how to remedy the situation.
Our initial analysis shows that the situation does not compromise the security of the node(s) affected. The security software, especially the on-access file system scanner, will continue to function as expected.
To create this situation, local access to the affected port is necessary. Given that the product is intended for use on LAN's with no exposure to the public internet, we judge the severity of the problem to be limited. We will, however, give the analysis effort high priority.

The good, the bad and the uglyMarch 18,2013
The legislative session is once again riddled with good, bad and ugly.
The scramble to sessions end has kicked up a notch.
Holding true to form, lawmakers find taxes, employer mandates and renewables good. Fuels, employers and sugar are bad. The process of balancing their wish list with the populations ability to pay is downright ugly.
Along the road to health care affordability are sugar taxes and claims processing fees. These new taxes could fund the operation of the exchange or additional subsidies for VHAP and Catamount enrollees.
Making health care affordable by raising new taxes and throwing them in the health care bucket wasnt part of the original sales pitch. Tag these ugly.
Tax fuels for weatherization and/or for direct support of renewables and/or to reduce the price for low-income Vermonters. Oh, yes, and increase the gasoline tax for the highway fund. Obviously, there is no limit to the taxes that can be laid on bad fossil fuels. The fact that every Vermont family will pay these hidden taxes gets lost in the shuffle.
Maybe folks will just blame those nasty oil companies. On the other hand, they may just skip over to New Hampshire where those same oil companies are less nasty because each gallon is taxed about 10 cents less.
Those bad employers who dont provide paid sick leave can either become responsible voluntarily or by state edict, if proposed legislation is enacted.
Although unionization of day care has been rebuffed in committee, keep an eye out. It may pop up attached to something else at any time.
Free preschool enrollment may become a cost shift to the education fund. The statewide education tax is only up 5 cents this year with another 5 or 6 cents projected next year. How free can it get?
Credit the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee with a novel approach: It swiped its funding from an existing tax and set up a fight for the dollars with other programs. May the better program win.
Survival of the fittest or most favored is better than simply funding everything.
Without a very long scorecard, its hard to keep track of all the things being considered for new or increased taxes. Apologies for those ignored.
Hang on for the exciting conclusion.
One persons good is another persons bad, and the process is always ugly.

My 9 week old daughter finally took the bottle and we're training her to take breast milk through the bottle for the times she will be at day care and I nurse her the times I will be home. She is doing great but suddenly seems to not like nursing but happily takes the bottle. She nurses on me for 10 mins on each side (which she did even before) but doesn't do it at one go - she sucks for a few mins and then pulls away and keeps doing that for the last 2-3 mins on each side. Is that ok? Is she getting enough? She has 6+ wet diapers and atleast 2 poopy ones. If I go by that, then I guess she is doing ok. But just needed some reassurance.
Also, today I think my milk supply went down. Until yesterday I was able to pump 3 oz. on the right side and atleast 1.5 to 2 oz. on the left. Today its just a total of 3 oz. Is this normal?
I know I am not as relaxed as I usually am... went back to work from home part time so have much catching up to do. Maybe that is what is affecting things... I'd appreciate any response.

Wilmington, NY
Out of all the numerous fishing excursions I had this year, getting back up to where I call home and doing some fall flyfishing, had to be about as good as it got... With the chance for snow, sometimes even before Halloween, you definitely need to take advantage of any nice warm weather in September/October and are obligated to go hit the river.
Unfortunately, my trip didn't start off too well and if it wasn't for a VERY helpful fly shop, I would not have had the trip that I did...
Scenario: 8:30am on a beautiful, crisp, Adirondack morning and I am just getting dressed/rigged up after taking a few minutes to watch the trout already starting to rise... In blows a car out of nowhere with Jersey plates and this guy hops out, pulls a rod out of the trunk, lights a smoke and starts fishing my hole... After standing right next to him for a few minutes and not even being acknowledged, I gave up and moved down river. Of course, trying to enter the river in an unfamiliar spot, I slipped on some mud and of all things an old railroad tie catches my waders and rips a nice big hole in my Simms...
Long story short but I found a little local fly shop and after hearing my story, they were willing to let me use a rental pair for free and called their rep who overnighted a pair of G3 Guide waders for me... I was kinda looking for a reason to upgrade so in the end I guess it worked out for the best...
Back out on the river again...
So, back out fishing and having a grand ole time, lobbing streamers for some chunky browns, in my ultra comfortable new waders, on a beautiful, sunny, fall afternoon. Life is good...!!!
Scenario: I come upon a shady, deep, pocket with an undercut boulder and I thought, 'has to be a brownie down in there' drift, drift, drift, BUMP!! I knew someone would be home!! drift, drift, drift, SLAM!! Ohh yeah.. it was a solid fish!! Well, much to my surprise, hanging out in big ole brown trout territory, is this beautiful 17" rainbow that I bring to the net..?!? Here I was without my camera and my cell phone decides to die all before I could get a picture!!! I decided to call it an afternoon and still glowing from that fish, I headed for some lunch. Swinging by the fly shop, they were all intent on hearing about the big bow but sorry that they weren't able to see it. I said, 'maybe I will have to go back out there tomorrow with my camera and catch him again.' Everyone laughs, 'wouldn't that be something??'
Next day: fishing, fishing, brown, brown, fishing, why look...?? It's that nice shady little pocket... so do I try it again?? drift, drift, drift, BUMP!! At this point I really did get quite excited to say the least... drift, drift, drift, SLAM!! and just like that, I was hooked up with not only another fish but the exact same fish that I had caught the previous day!! brought to the net and taped, was EXACTLY the same. I happily shot several quick pics and couldn't wait to get back to the fly shop...
Long story short, they couldn't believe it when I told them the story and showed them the photos. So, the co-owner of the shop, who is out fishing in MT btw... calls back and said 'who did you get to buy the fancy expensive Simms waders??' She answers back 'a guy who really knows what the f*** he's doing.' I'm sorry but that did kinda made my day, so I wanted to share...
Well, enough talk and on to the fish!!!
A nice day to be on the water...
Some nice local brownies...
To be continued...
This guy hammered a yellow sulphur just as it was about to leave the tailout and fought like crazy!! Definitely a good fish...
A beautiful sunrise heading to the river from my campsite...
Here are the Olympic ski jumps in the morning mist...
I had to work so hard for this guy.. fish were rising all around but I ended up going down to 7x with a size #20 BWO before I finally got a take. Broke off a real nice one and brought this one to the net. I had been giving another angler some pointers who still happened to be near by and he graciously offered to take a pic for me...
A nice little bow I picked up out of some pocket water...
And of course, the famous, caught twice in two days, 17.5" bow...
Tight Lines,
Great pictures and report! Good to see you back on here again. I was wondering what became of you...

great report and great pictures thanks. makes me want to visit ny
Great report and pics. I love that area. Was fortunate enough to fish there this summer, West Branch and Indian Pass Brook, and the fishing was great. Had a similar experiance as to yours with people squeezing in on the WB but I come to expect that up there. Alot of folks make to 3 hour drive up from the south and they are gonna get their spot whether you are there or not. Water was low this summer, looks like they were the same in Sept.
Email me if you plan to get back up there next year. I will give you some 411 on the WB and where to fish... tnflyfisher at yahoo
And yes, water was still low in the fall. Actually, the fishing was still pretty good regardless. It also caused a lot of fish in the lower reaches of the WB to search out colder, more oxygenated water. Now, if you are familiar with the area, you knew right where they would be and that made for some fantastic fishing...
Tight Lines,
Thanks. will do if I go that way. I hope to but we are planning an out West trip this year. But I still hope to go back and visit family. Appreciate it. Where did you camp, ADK Log? I'm guessing some of the landscape picks were taken close to Rt 73, maybe on ADK Log road itself.
DK - I was actually being held hostage by the river for the last six months and it was terrible!!!! The fish were abusing and torturing me to no end... I luckily managed to escape but only here recently and that's why I have been MIA...
Tight Lines,

Peace Corps Volunteers assist the government of Mali in an effort to address multiple development challenges. Currently, the Peace Corps places its emphasis on sustainable capacity-building projects in the areas of food production, water availability, environmental conservation, micro-enterprise development, and preventive health care, including water sanitation work and HIV/AIDS awareness.
Peace Corps History
Main article: History of the Peace Corps in Mali
In August 1969, Mali made a formal request for the Peace Corps' assistance. That same year, a Peace Corps representative arrived in Bamako, the capital of Mali, to assist the government in planning Volunteers' activities, primarily in the area of agricultural development. The first Volunteers arrived in April 1971 to help allay the hardships caused by a severe drought. Twenty-five Volunteers developed projects in poultry raising, vegetable production, water resources managemen and agricultural extension.Since that time, some 2,000 Volunteers have served in Mali.
Living Conditions and Volunteer Lifestyle
Main article: Living conditions and volunteer lifestyles in Mali
The community to which you are assigned will provide safe and adequate housing in accordance with the Peace Corps' site selection criteria. Housing is typically a small house made of mud or cement bricks with a thatch roof. Some Volunteers in urban sites live in cement houses with two or three rooms. Most Volunteers do not have running water or electricity; water comes from a pump or a well, and light is provided by kerosene lanterns or candles. Nearly all Volunteers are within one hour of another Volunteer and most are within 10 hours of the Peace Corps office in Bamako via public transportation.
Main article: Training in Mali
Training is an essential part of Peace Corps service. The goal of the eleven-week program is to give you the skills and information you need to live and work effectively in Mali. In doing that, we build upon the experiences and expertise you bring to the Peace Corps. The program also gives you the opportunity to practice new skills as they apply to your work in Mali. We anticipate that you will approach training with an open mind, a desire to learn, and a willingness to become involved. Trainees officially become Volunteers only after successful completion of training.
You will receive training and orientation in components of language, cross-cultural communication, development issues, health and personal safety, and technical skills pertinent to your specific assignment. The skills you learn will serve as the foundation upon which you build your experience as a Peace Corps Volunteer.
Upon arrival in Mali, you will go to Toubaniso, the Peace Corps training center about half an hour outside of Bamako. After a brief orientation period, you will move into a host village within an hour of the training center. In the host village, you and other trainees (about 15 to a village) will live with a Malian host family for the majority of your training period, allowing you to gain hands-on experience in some of the new skills you are expected to acquire.
Health Care and Safety
Main article: Health care and safety in Mali
The Peace Corps' highest priority is maintaining the good health and safety of every Volunteer. Peace Corps medical programs emphasize the preventive, rather than the curative, approach to disease. The Peace Corps in Mali maintains a clinic with three full-time medical officers, who take care of Volunteers' primary healthcare needs. Additional medical services, such as testing and basic treatment, are also available in Mali at local hospitals and clinics. If you become seriously ill, you will be transported to a medical facility in the region or to the United States.
Diversity and Cross-Cultural Issues
Main article: Diversity and cross-cultural issues in Mali
In Mali, as in other Peace Corps host countries, Volunteers' behavior, lifestyle, background, and beliefs are judged in a cultural context very different from their own. Certain personal perspectives or characteristics commonly accepted in the United States may be quite uncommon, unacceptable, or even repressed in Mali.
Outside of Mali's capital, residents of rural communities have had relatively little direct exposure to other cultures, races, religions, and lifestyles. What people view as typical American behavior or norms may be a misconception, such as the belief that all Americans are rich and Caucasian. The people of Mali are justly known for their generous hospitality to foreigners; however, members of the community in which you will live may display a range of reactions to cultural differences that you present.

Chris was born on Long Island, New York, to Peter and Carol Smith on April 15, 1964. After returning from an LDS Mission to Baton-Rogue Louisiana, the city boy found his country girl, Lezlie Porter, and the two were married and sealed for time and all eternity in the Manti LDS Temple. He then attended Brigham Young University, and studied construction management with a dream to build the world. Chris built the world and did what he loved as he spent 20 years working for Layton Construction, where he had the chance to construct buildings and structures for the world to see.
During his battle with cancer, Chris was often overwhelmed by the kindness and service that so many people had shown him; and his family is forever grateful for the many family members and friends that have shown such kindness.
Chris has left a legacy that not many people are able to live up to, and will be missed by the many people who have known and been served by him.
His greatest building in life, and the one that will miss him the most is his family: his wife, and six children who love and miss him dearly: Jordan, Casey, Ethan, Erica, Madison, and Corbin.
The funeral service were held Tuesday, Sept. 3, at the Midway LDS Stake Center, located at 165 N. Center St. in Midway. Chris will be buried in the Midway Cemetery.

I was not sure where to post this.
My Dh has been feeling frustrated lately. Ourdaughter, who is 13 weeks old, cries more when he holds her. When I hold her - she rarely cries and if she does cry - it stops almost immediately.
He is a hurt by this - I try to tell him that since I am breastfeeding, I am meeting one of her major needs right now...hunger. So she associates this need being met to me.
How can I make my husband feel better about this? He is frustrated and it is straining our relationship a little bit.
He also feels like the things I ask him to do sometimes...changing diapers, changing clothes for getting ready for bed - are things that upset the baby and she tends to cry more during those times. I do those things all the time as well..but she tends to not cry as much when I do them
I am feeling almost guilty for the solid relationship I have with our daughter from breastfeeding. I am a little frustrated too because honestly, I am not feeling very appreciated. Breastfeeding is not always easy, I certaninly did not get much sleep for a long time. It is now much better- but I am still feeling a little hurt myself.
Sorry for rambling..but any suggestions would be appreciated.

The Board of Regents is pleased to present a KUDOS award today to Janet Padrnos Administrative Technician with Cashiering and Student Accounts for the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

An American television producer has been found dead in mysterious circumstances while working in Uganda, his brother-in-law told msnbc.com on Wednesday.
Paul Blackman said that family members had heard that poisoning was suspected in the death of father of two Jeff Rice, 39, who is originally from Oklahoma.
Blackman, who is the brother of Rice's wife Sally, added that the situation was unclear and relatives were trying to establish what exactly had happened
Rice, who previously worked for shows including "The Amazing Race" and Animal Planet's "Whale Wars," died on Friday night.
Rice's assistant, who Blackman declined to name, also became ill and was taken to a hospital in Uganda.
"We've sent people up there to get some answers," Blackman told msnbc.com by phone from Durban, South Africa. "Nothing is finalized yet.
Addressing media reports that Rice had been fatally poisoned, Blackman said: "I don't know where they are getting this 'definitely poisoned' thing."
Rice moved to South Africa about 13 years ago and holds dual citizenship, Blackman said. His wife is South African.
Rice's death was first reported by FoxNews.com.
'Really tough to handle'
Blackman said Wednesday morning that he was looking after their children, girls aged seven and two, while Sally Blackman tried to get information from the South African police.
He said his sister was finding the uncertainty "really tough to handle, but, yeah, she's strong."
"There's so much stuff in the air about possible poisoning, all that kind of stuff," Blackman said. "At the moment, we're trying to get Jeff's body out of there to get some answers."
Blackman said Rice had been "a historian, tour guide kind of person" in the United States and had started to work in television about three years ago. He and his wife ran SB Productions in Durban.
He added his brother-in-law was working on either a future show or documentary in Uganda.
"He was a fantastic producer apparently, a very, very sought-after producer," he said. "The messages (of condolence) coming in have been very, very good actually. It's been fantastic, he's a very well-liked character. He was a good guy, very relaxed and just a very good guy."
The "about us" section of SB Productions' website says Rice decided there were "better ways to spend his time" after five years "contributing to the stalemate of the 405 in LA."
"From pie in the sky to looking no futher than his nose, his mind is always churning. If Jeff isn't crunching budgets or breaking down scripts, he can probably be found in some unusual African location with his Power Book and a bottle of the local brew. Jeff has an incredibly calm nature and a wicked sense of humor," it adds.

The Mill Valley Fire Department, in partnership with Marin County Parks, has begun the Alto Bowl Fire Fuel Reduction Project. This multi-year project is aimed at eliminating invasive french broom, pampas grass and acacia in the Alto Bowl Open Space Preserve.
The primary benefit of this project is the removal of highly flammable vegetation that poses a threat to Mill Valley homeowners. The second benefit is restoration of the native plant species that predated the arrival of broom and other non-native vegetation.
Beginning Monday, February 4th, 2013, the Mill Valley Fire Department will be burning piles of cut vegetation above Midhill Drive in Scott Valley. This operation will last several days and will produce a small amount of smoke in the area. All work will be performed on designated permissible burn days as dictated by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
If you have any questions regarding this project, please contact Mill Valley Fire Department Battalion Chief Scott Barnes at 415-389-4139 or Elise Holland, Chief of Planning and Resources, Marin County Parks at 415-473-2820.

"When we first began planning the march, there was a concerted effort by the Kennedy administration to get it called off and to not let it take place," said Horowitz, who was in charge of organizing transportation for the event.
Holmes Norton, who helped Horowitz with transportation planning, said march organizers "heard nothing but complaints from the Kennedy administration at the time."
"They didn't say, 'Welcome to Washington, this is what I need. If you come to Washington, this will help me get the bill passed,'" she said, referring to Kennedy's proposed Civil Rights Act. "It was quite the contrary."
But as the Kennedys began to see the need for a successful and peaceful march, attitudes began to shift.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
The March on Washington organizers envisioned a two-day event that would take marchers around the White House and then to the National Mall, Horowitz recalled.
But she said the Kennedy administration squashed that idea.
"The White House absolutely did not want that to happen," Horowitz said. "And they were able to convince people not to do it."
As a result, the march ended up only being one day, and marchers traversed the mall, not past the White House or Capitol Hill.
The White House had moved past its initial opposition to the march. Robert Kennedy's Justice Department started engaging the march planners, rather than trying to stymie them.
"They kept a watchful eye on the planning of the march," said Lewis, one of the "Big Six" original leaders behind the march. "They stayed in touch with the (march) leadership."
The march leaders, in an attempt to broaden the appeal of the event and widen the scope of its leadership, added four white leaders, changing the "Big Six" to the "Big Ten." They included representatives of the Protestant, Jewish and Catholic faiths, and a labor leader.
Staunch civil rights advocate and United Auto Workers president Walter Reuther was recruited by the White House "to infiltrate the march and steer it away from radical rhetoric and direct action," wrote Charles Euchner in his book "Nobody Turn Me Around," about the historic march.
"And so he did."
By this point, Kennedy had come around so far on the march that, according to march planner Courtland Cox, the president figured if you can't beat them, join them.
"There was a proposal on the table that Kennedy speak to the March on Washington," said Cox. "And (march organizer) Bayard (Rustin) knew this would have been a disaster because it would've been taken over by (Kennedy) just because he's president.
"It would've been Kennedy's march."
So, Cox said Rustin and he excused themselves from that particular meeting and took a walk to the bathroom. Clearly flummoxed about the problem, Rustin took a sip from his back-pocket flask and came up with an idea on the fly.
"And Bayard got back into the meeting and he literally made this up," Cox recalled. "He said that he heard ... if the president spoke the Negroes were going to stone him."
After that, the idea of Kennedy speaking at the march was never considered.
'He was like a beaming, proud father'
Jack Rosenthal remembers the buzz of activity inside the Justice Department's room 5110, Robert Kennedy's office, on Aug. 28, 1963.
"That was the command center," said Rosenthal, who was the department's assistant press officer at the time.
The attorney general was nervous that a disastrous or violent march would hurt his brother's civil rights legislation, and the civil rights cause in general.
Justice Department officials were relying on various eyewitness reports to feed information back to them.

Kevin McMillan, baritone with Gabriel Dobner, piano
Tue, 19 Feb 2013 8:00 PM - Sat, 19 Jan 2013 8:00 PM
Recital Hall
Kevin McMillan's performing career has spanned over 25 years with more than 750 concerts, 15 commercial recordings, a Grammy award, a Gramophone award and numerous Juno award nominations. Critics have praised his "elegant lyric baritone voice" and "singularly remarkable interpretive skills" in appearances with virtually every major North American orchestra, including the New York Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the San Francisco Symphony. He has also established a presence in Europe, with appearances in centers such as London, Berlin, Barcelona, Paris and Prague. He has worked with such conductors as Herbert Blomstedt, Pierre Boulez, Raphael Frühbeck de Burgos, Sir Andrew Davis, Charles Dutoit, Neeme Jarvi, Jesus Lopez–Cobos, Kurt Masur, Sir Roger Norrington, Hellmuth Rilling and the late Robert Shaw and Sergiu Commissiona. Professor McMillan joined the faculty of the James Madison University School of Music in 2009.
Pianist Gabriel Dobner first appeared in concert in Europe in 1991 with the Villa Musica Chamber Music Ensemble in Mainz, Germany. 1993 marked the beginning of his eight years in Germany, after having been awarded a German Academic Exchange Scholarship (DAAD) to study lied accompanying in Munich with Professor Helmut Deutsch. The following year he won the special collaborative pianist prize in the International Hans Pfitzner Lieder Competition in Munich. While living in Augsburg, Dobner quickly established himself as one of Germany's most sought–after collaborative pianists, performing regularly with such notable singers as Cornelia Kallisch, René Kollo and Kevin McMillan. These collaborations led to performances in many of the major concert venues in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and Japan. Dobner has recorded for both the Ottavo and MDG labels, winning high praise from BBC Music Magazine, Fono Forum and the West German Radio in Cologne, who referred to him as a "master among Lieder pianists." Dobner received a BM degree from Roosevelt University and his MM and Doctorate degrees from Indiana University.

U.S. Department of Agriculture officials levied fines of $5,000 against the owner of Chief Saunooke Bear Park, Kole Clapsaddle, and suspended the parkŌĆÖs license to display bears to the public. The act stemmed from an official complaint last summer alleging numerous violations of the Animal Welfare Act that had gone uncorrected during the previous two years.
The penalties were agreed upon by Clapsaddle and in an administrative court. The dozen or so violations included failure to maintain clean enclosures for the bears and provide proper food, as well as an inadequate barrier between the bears and visitors.
Since December 2009, federal inspectors have repeatedly visited the zoo.
Though the bear park is currently closed for the winter, it would have to re-apply for and be granted permission to open this spring. The bear park also stands to incur $15,000 more in automatic fines if it indeed reopens and violates the act within two years.
The sanctions were celebrated by animal rights activists, who have long targeted the bear park and others like it with protests and publicity campaigns, yet many believe it should be viewed as only the first step in shutting down all of the private bear zoos on the reservation. Chief Saunooke Bear Park is one of three bear zoos on the reservation.
Delcianna Winders, director of captive animal law enforcement for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said she believes the federal inspectors should confiscate the bears still held at Chief Saunooke, due to their deplorable living conditions.
ŌĆ£I would like to see the bears confiscated and sent to a reputable sanctuary,ŌĆØ Winders said. ŌĆ£The bear parks in Cherokee are among the worst in the nation.ŌĆØ
As of early January, the Chief Saunooke Bear Park possessed 11 bears: six of them were black bears, two were brown bears and three were Asiatic black bears.
However, for the federal government to legally confiscate the Chief Saunooke bears, they must be found to be in a state of ŌĆ£unrelieved suffering,ŌĆØ according to Dave Sacks, a department spokesman. Otherwise, the ruling only prohibits the public display of those animals to paying patrons.
ŌĆ£If he wants to live the rest of his life with bears, itŌĆÖs in his court,ŌĆØ Sacks said. ŌĆ£But he canŌĆÖt exhibit those animals now.ŌĆØ
Theoretically, without being able to make money off showing the bears, the cost of their upkeep could force the owner of the animals to divest of them, however.
Sacks said Clapsaddle has the opportunity to re-apply for his permit. And if everything at the zoo is found to be in compliance with the law, he is eligible to continue running his operation. Sacks said agents visited the park on Jan. 9 and recorded a ŌĆ£cleanŌĆØ inspection of the zoo.
Chief Saunooke Bear Park has long been the target of many outside protestors, from a personal visit from game show celebrity Bob Barker to a picket by a troupe of regional PETA protestors in January. However this time around, ClapsaddleŌĆÖs zoo may be facing a little bit of opposition from within Cherokee.
The sanctions on the zoo came right after PETA released an undercover video of the zoo that disclosed the facilityŌĆÖs workers saying discriminatory comments against Native Americans and showed the bears biting the metal bars of their cages until their teeth snapped.
The images of the pent up bears, pacing back and forth in cramped cages upset 71-year-old tribal member Amy Walker after she attempted to watch the online video. She said she had never been inside one of the bear zoos in Cherokee and didnŌĆÖt realize what was taking place.
Now, she plans to go before the tribal council with other supporters Feb. 14 and petition them to close Chief Saunooke Bear Park and all the bear parks in Cherokee.
ŌĆ£I feel like there are a lot of native people upset about this,ŌĆØ Walker said. ŌĆ£I think itŌĆÖs a black eye on all of us.ŌĆØ

"A solid introduction to the broad topic [of coal fires] and ... essential reading for anyone embarking in further studies in this broad discipline."
—James C. Hower, International Journal of Coal Geology
"I would not be surprised if this beautifully illustrated book rekindled interest in efforts to better understand the phenomenon of uncontrolled coal fires, eventually leading to global efforts to extinguish those that are burning and protocols to prevent future fires."
—Robert B. Finkelman, University of Texas at Austin
Geology of Coal Fires: Case Studies from Around the World is The Geological Society of America's first publication devoted to "coal-fires science," an exciting and interdisciplinary area of research gaining international attention in recent years. Coal fires are preserved globally in the rock record as burnt and volume-reduced coal seams and by pyrometamorphic rocks, explosion breccias, clinker, gas-vent-mineral assemblages, fire-induced faulting, ground fissures, slump blocks, and sinkholes. Coal fires are responsible for coronary and respiratory diseases and fatalities in humans, as well as arsenic and fluorine poisoning. The heat energy, toxic fumes, and solid by-products of combustion destroy floral and faunal habitats, while polluting the air, water, and soil. This volume includes chapters devoted to spontaneous combustion and greenhouse gases, gas-vent mineralogy and petrology, paralavas and combustion metamorphic rocks, geochronology and landforms, magnetic signatures and geophysical modeling, remote-sensing detection and fire-depth estimation of concealed fires, as well as coal fires and public policy.

City Council President Audrey Kader easily held on to her City Council seat in a recall election Tuesday night.
It's the latest in a two-year stretch full of recalls.
While the ability to recall is the public's right, some wonder if it's being used the way it should be.
Kader took home 73 percent of the votes in last night's election, leaving her opponents in the dust.
The results show that voters didn't agree with the recall, despite organizers' ability to pull it off.
City of La Crosse residents may agree with the idea of being able to recall a public official.
"I think it's good to have," said La Crosse resident Brooke Anderson.
But there's no question that some voters may be wearing out from two full years of recall elections in Wisconsin.
"I would be one of those people that's kind of exhausted," said La Crosse resident Linc Middleton.
"I know personally, I'm over elections in general," said Anderson.
The power to recall was made state law decades ago.
"They put it in the books on the assumption that if a person wasn't close enough to the people, they weren't responding to the public will, they didn't have to wait to the next election," said University of Wisconsin-La Crosse political science professor Joe Heim.
The law doesn't define what a person can be recalled for, which means as long as someone can collect the signatures, an election is guaranteed.
"It's always been implied that something serious must be wrong in order to go ahead with a recall. Of course, what is serious and how important something is is left to the voter, frankly," said Heim.
In City Council President Audrey Kader's case, the voters decided the recall wasn't necessary.
"I think they made judgment, pretty strong judgment, the voters did, that it wasn't particularly warranted in this case," said Heim.
While voters may be wearing out from all the recalls, they'll put up with it in order to protect their rights.
"It's better to have and not need than need and not have," said Middleton.
"I think if someone sees that a person that we've elected isn't using the office for the way that we wanted them too, then we have the right to voice that opinion," said Anderson.
The recall petition filed for Audrey Kader had 169 valid signatures. Only 68 people voted against Kader in last night's election.
The recall election cost the city almost $2,000.

CHICAGO – Despite rain in the forecast throughout the day, the Cubs are going to try to play their series finale against the Rangers.
Yesterday's game was postponed because of the weather and a makeup date has not yet been chosen. Since this is the only time the two teams play each other, they want to avoid having to make up two games.
The weather has also affected pitcher Matt Garza's rehab assignment. Garza was scheduled to pitch at Kane County tomorrow, however, bad field conditions switched his assignment to a simulated game in Milwaukee. Garza will throw two innings and approximately 35 pitchers at Milwaukee. Manager Dale Sveum said Garza's next rehab start will likely come at Double-A Tennessee.
The weather isn't changing the Cubs' rotation. Sveum said he's sticking with Carlos Villanueva (0-0, 0.64 ERA) for today's start. Alexi Ogando (2-0, 1.08) starts for the Rangers.
Rangers lineup
1. Ian Kinsler, 2B
2. Elvis Andrus, SS
3. Adrian Beltre, 3B
4. Nelson Cruz, RF
5. A.J. Pierzynski, C
6. David Murphy, LF
7. Mitch Moreland, 1B
8. Leonys Martin, CF
9. Alexi Ogando, P

By Mike Linn
CLOVIS — During the week, two teenage brothers just a year apart participate in friendly roping competitions at their Clovis home. The loser does the other's chores, the winner gloats.
On the weekends the sibling rivalry turns to teamwork for Dustin, 16, and Ethan McDaniel, 15, Texico High students with an affinity for riding horses and lassoing calves.
Partners in some team roping events at this year's High Plains Junior Rodeo Finals, the brothers enjoy watching each other succeed.
"He's been coaching on me quite a bit. It's annoying sometimes, but it helps me out," said Ethan, who will be a sophomore this year.
Typically, the brothers don't compete against each other; Dustin is competing in breakaway, calf and team roping, while his brother is competing in team roping.
During the team competition, Dustin is the heeler and Ethan is the header.
"We're always doing stuff together, always wanting to rope together," Dustin said.
In the rare event that the brothers do compete, their family is pretty steady on which brother they root for.
"I root for both of them at the same time, and when they come up against each other I say 'let God's will be done,'" said Lydia Blevins, the teens' grandmother.
Karen McDaniel, the boys' mother, said Dustin and Ethan compete in rodeos almost every weekend, and while it's good family time it can also be stressful.
"There's a lot of practicing, there's a lot of time involved and it's not always real fun all the time. Yes, they fight sometimes, that gets a little stressful. But the majority of the time it's fun. I wouldn't trade it for the world," said Karen, chairwoman of the Clovis chapter of the High Plains Junior Rodeo.
The brothers began roping when they were 5.
Dustin said he'd like to compete in the National Rodeo Association someday.
"He'll probably make it," Ethan said.
As for Ethan, he likes roping but isn't sure if he'll make the major leagues of rodeo.
"I hope I make it," Ethan said.
But one thing both brothers know for sure, is who's the best roper: "I am," they said in unison.

Former training
Waits for Kerrah.
Perform the last technique you learnt please.
(Fūton: Shinkūken) - Wind Release: Shock Blade
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user swings their blade and a gust of wind is released in the arc that it was swung in. The technique is strong enough to stop projectiles that are thrown at the user.
I focus and build up the chakra in my body, now with me having trained in wind so long, this would be automatic and take a second because at this point it's all muscle-memory and reflex, i don't have to think about it. I infuse my wind chakra into my sword and release it as i swing the blade in a downward arc, releasing a gust of wind from my blade almost like a shockwave.
Last edited by ~Yubel~; 10-06-2012 at 08:18 PM.
Well done, we'll move straight on then.
For the next one, keep a firm grasp onto the sword you're holding, not letting go of it, and whilst doing that, channel your wind chakra throughout your body, utilizing it into the sword. Then, as you've done many times before, swing the sword in any direction you want, upon doing so the chakra that has been infused in the sword is let out, and will form a substantially large gust of wind that descends down upon your opponent. The gust is an advanced form of the preceding jutsu, as the rotation and cutting power is increased, with the direction of the current based upon the direction you swung your sword to.

Q&A with UBS' Mike Stewart: Eyeing up the US
UBS' global head of equities talks to Financial News about the Swiss bank's strong investment banking revenues in 2013, building a global franchise, and the convergence between equities and other asset classes.
Stewart joined UBS in 2011 as global co-head of equities based in New York, but became sole head just a few months later after the departures of Francois Gouws and Yassine Bouhara.
He was formerly global head of equities at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and has also worked for Barclays Global Investors, Schwab Capital Markets and Epoch Partners.
Financial News: UBS' investment bank this week reported a year-on-year increase in its pre-tax profits to Sfr2.5 billion in 2013, excluding exceptional items. Equities was a strong driver – to what would you attribute that performance?
Mike Stewart: Collectively, the investment bank had a great fourth quarter and a great year. From an equities perspective, clearly our Asia business was very strong with particular excess volume and performance in Japan. But we think we have a very nice balance of revenues from all three regions [Europe, the Americas and Asia].
To what extent is the equities business profitable, and where are the biggest opportunities for growth?
All three regions are profitable for us on a standalone basis, and are ahead of the hurdles that we set for ourselves in terms of returns on equity and cost-income ratios. We plan to grow from that base in the Americas judiciously. I think fundamentally we have market share to take in the Americas. Our strategy has to be global, our clients increasingly operate on a global basis and we want our clients to think of us as global.
You invested in the Americas business last year, but headcount remained flat. How did that work?
We run equities in the Americas, as much so as anywhere, as one business. That has allowed us to combine some functions, and we've created some capacity by thinking about combinations of people that are different. One example is having an equities-wide client trading and execution function that's led by one individual. That allowed us to recruit some talented people and we've focused on difference-makers in cash equities - particularly people who have a good history with institutions and hedge funds on the client side, and additions across equity derivatives.
Are you planning further hires this year?
We wouldn't have had success we did in 2013 if we were missing a substantial number of strategically relevant people. Our team is largely in place. We come into 2014 with our skilled positions well covered. We will continue to look at opportunities in the financing space and we'll likely to look at opportunities in exchange-traded derivatives, but we've placed our bets for 2014. And that is research, flow derivatives and electronic trading, across all asset classes.
Electronic trading is an area of strength for UBS in equities, are you looking to utilise that across the investment bank?
We're very focused on thinking about our investments as investment banking or as asset class-agnostic investments. We've long been a leader in electronic trading, for example, particularly in equities, which we have extended to our FX business. From my perspective, versus cash equities, the extent to which relatively common electronic trading tools have been employed in listed derivatives is low. That is something that our business model and our technological base allows us to exploit. Plus, if 10% of the over-the-counter market becomes standardised, we think that will have a substantial impact on listed derivatives markets which will benefit houses that have differentiated automation and straight-through processing.
What will be the key themes in European equities this year?
My sense is that we could certainly see eyes cast towards Europe in terms of greater interest and a rotation. I do think the structural underweight position many investors have with regard to Europe could go away. More broadly, efficiency continues to be a theme. As a group UBS is focused on where outsourcing might be effective and we'll continue to look at that, but in the absence of a relatively sharp decrease in volumes my sense is that we are not a long way from being right-sized in cash equities here in Europe.

It has been one year since the disastrous nuclear accident at Japans Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011. Experts now view Fukushima as the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986.
In the aftermath, the Chinese government promptly reaffirmed that nations nuclear energy policy. Yet China also became the only nation among all major nuclear energy states that suspended its new nuclear plant project approvals. Before it would restart approvals, China said it would:
1) Conduct safety inspections at all nuclear facilities
2) Strengthen the approval process of new nuclear plant projects
3) Enact a new national nuclear safety plan
4) Adjust the medium and long-term development plan for nuclear power
Where is China on this path, and what is the future of its nuclear power industry?

So, nursing is still fairly painful most of the time. Bubs latches on, then rears his head back with my poor nip clamped in his little piranha mouth, while his hand pinches my breast and pulls it sideways. As you can imagine, it doesn't feel so great. So I've taken to tucking his arm behind his back and holding his head still with my hand just to make it through the first ten minutes. Honestly I feel closer to him when I give him a bottle, because then I'm not on edge and wincing the whole time. He'll be 4 months tomorrow and if I can make it to 6 I'll be ecstatic. But my question is, is it ok to restrain him like this? If I don't, he'll fuss and arch and pass gas the whole way through.
Oh, and someone suggested a baby chiropractor... Has anyone ever heard of this?? I can't quite imagine.

What is in this article?:
- Open data a treasure trove for world agriculture?
- Wide array of data
- "Open data" approach hope is to push technology and provide up-to-date agronomic research to the world.
More About:
Over the last few years, there has been much fretting about the ability of farmers to feed and clothe a booming world population, expected to hit 9 billion by 2050. One solution to keep bellies full: share knowledge now that will, hopefully, drive new agronomic methods and technological breakthroughs in coming years.
Towards that end, following up on earlier commitments, the G8 countries (France, United States, United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada) are now providing open access to government-funded research that impacts agriculture. This week, the countries – along with representatives from Africa – met to kick-start the process.
The countries involved "are interested in making (agriculture research data) available so useful applications can be developed," said USDA Chief Scientist Catherine Woteki on Tuesday (April 30). "We've been meeting for the last two days at the World Bank. We've heard a series of presentations on all the different kinds of data that are being made available through the use of the Internet.
"The United States made a big announcement: we've created a new community for data that relates to food, agriculture, natural resources and rural communities. There are now 350 data sets available."
The site and data can be accessed at www.data.gov.
More on the conference here.
Woteki said already there's been an "enormous amount of interest" in the project and "a lot of excitement about applications already being made with these data – helpful to farmers, helpful to decision makers, helpful to policy makers."
One example of how technology is aiding developing countries is increasing cell phone use by African farmers. The information the farmers are able to access – such as weather reports and market prices – provide a much better chance for a successful cropping season and healthy bottom line.

Ever since solids entered my dd's body, there's been trouble in the pants. Specifically with poo. That first solid batch to come out hurt my dd and now she dreads moving her bowels. Which translates into holding it for weeks.
She is 2 years old and still nurses day and night. A late comer to solids, around 16 months is when solids became a part of everyday. I give her apricots, prune juice, pears, peaches, brocolli... anything to move the system but to no avail.
Here is my question.... could it be that she just doesn't have alot to move. I've read bf children are quite efficient at digesting all the bm. I'd say the bulk of her diet is still bm and am wondering if she just isn't pooing much (every 2 weeks, sometimes longer) because she burns it all up.
She has always been in the 99% in all charts. When she does go, it is still mushy.... I'd say like very thick peanut butter. It's not too dry but it could be moister. I try to give her liquids but she is not big on much other than bm.
I figure some LLL mom must have come across this but find nothing in any literature I have. She has had allergic reaction to food before (around 1 year), so I am cautious. Could this just be a long transition from bfing to solids? Yes, I've told her ped. He just says try all the foods that make one go and put mineral oil in juice. Really doesn't help. Anybody have some info to share?

Return of the Yankees Fan…
Ahh, it feels so nice to be under the Yankees banner once again! The restoration of my blog's name is also a great thing. Dirty red socks just didn't go with my image! 😉 And what was up with Mark changing the name of my blog to 'I'm Not A Yankee Guy'?. Of course, I am a Yankee guy!
Last night was the perfect evening to restore my rightful place as a die-hard Yankees fan.
The Yankees were locked in a tense, pitching duel between Phil Hughes and the Detroit Tigers' Edwin Jackson. It was 0-0 after six innings, and Hughes had given up only two hits. Given his inability to win a game in 2008, I was starting to feel that his first victory of 2009 was going to prove just as elusive. Nevertheless, the 7th inning rolled around, and the Yanks posted a 10-spot in the inning. By the end of the game, the Yanks had an 11-0 victory and Hughes had secured his first victory of 2009 with arguably the best Yankee pitching performance of the year.

After seeing runs scored by the litter against Chien-Ming Wang, it was great to finally see this turn in the rotation nail down a crucial win. I am obviously hopeful that Wang finds himself in Tampa and returns as the player we saw in 2006 and 2007, but in the interim, I am more than happy to take my chances with #65.
Of course, if Hughes continues to pitch well, the Yanks will be facing a difficult decision when Wang returns. The never-ending Joba-to-Pen opinions have continued to circulate, and they will only be heightened if it becomes impossible to pull Hughes from the rotation. It's a good problem to have and I am sure that Joe Girardi will make the right decision when the time comes.
But the Yankees win was not the only bright spot of the night. I went to bed while the Red Sox were still playing the Cleveland Indians. At one time, the Red Sox had built 5-1 and 7-4 leads so it appeared that the winning streak was going to extend to 12 games. But when I awoke this morning and saw the highlights of the game-tying three run homer and then the game-winning run scored by the Indians on an error, I couldn't believe that the Red Sox had let the winning streak die on what should have been a routine inning-ending out. Judging by the look on the faces of the players in the Boston dugout, neither could they. Thanks Javier Lopez!
Chuck Crow/The Plain Dealer
So, it was the perfect day! A Yankees win, a Red Sox loss, and full restoration of my Yankees blog to its rightful banner and name! Oh Betsy, it doesn't get any better than that!
What does that mean? It means that we will no longer see the likes of Ramiro Pena or Angel Berroa manning third base for the Yankees. Dr. Marc Philippon has indicated that Alex Rodriguez will be able to return to the team and resume playing in about 10 days. "He's looking good. Looking awesome" was how Dr. Philippon described A-Rod's progress.
A-Rod has been batting in simulated games for the past few days, and is expected to begin playing extended spring games this week.
Reinhold Matay/The Star Ledger
In anticipation of the 10th day, I have purchased my ticket to see the Yankees play the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards on Saturday, May 9th. My ticket is even on the third base side. Alex, listen to your doctor!
As part of my wager loss to Julia of Julia's Rants last weekend (thanks to Boston's sweep of the Yankees), I had to place Wally the Green Monster on top of Lou the Yankee Bear. I had agreed to allow Wally to remain on his "perch" through the end of the Red Sox winning streak. So, guess what the first thing I did when I got up this morning and saw that the Red Sox had lost? Wally, meet your new place!
Wally didn't like this spot so much (although he was wondering what was in the box), so he agreed to make a concession for me in order to return to his rightful place at Lou's feet.
Wally, you look great in the new helmet! Now, if you could only do something about that jersey!
Well, the first round of the regular season went to Julia (after a split in spring training). But next week is a new day! The Boston Red Sox roll into the Bronx for two games at the new Yankee Stadium on Monday and Tuesday. A series sweep, and the loser must wear a pink version of the opposing team's hat. A split, and the loser is the team with the fewest total combined runs in the series.
I am very fortunate that the Red Sox winning streak came to an end. Otherwise, it would have been a challenge finding a hat that would fit the size of Julia's head.
Nevertheless, I can safely say that her head swelling has gone down, so this should fit just fine…
Hey Julia, the game is so on! Get ready!

Scott – where did it say ANYTHING about Wally wearing a Yankees hat!!! WHEN my Red Sox take the series next week – I'm sending Lou a new hat along with one for you!!! Oh – and like me – Wally finds that there "Just ain't enough good burn in tequilla" top shelf or not!😉 Enjoy it now my friend…it ain't gonna last. And Scott – be thankful you don't live closer….the joy I would take in placing that pink hat on your head and taking the picture….;-) Enjoy the win now – you won't be seeing any next Monday or Tuesday!
Hey Scott – your twin brother Jim Bob (you know – the "nice" brother ;-D ) stopped by tonight. Could you let him know that the Red Sox have started a new winning streak and that the plans we have discussed have been put into motion. He'll know what I mean!😉
I see that Detroit almost came back on your Yankees tonight. Oh well – there's always next time. lol!
Scott- Oh man… I know I shouldn't laugh at the pictures of Wally… but they're hilarious. Oh god, I'm a blasphemous Red Sox fan…
This getting juicy!
Can't wait to hear your impressions of the new Yankee Stadium, Scott. And I envy your trip to Camden Yards. I do love watching games there (and eating at Boog's Barbecue). Having Joba and Hughes pitch well, knowing we've also got CC, AJ and Andy in the rotation, gives me some hope that we'll do just fine, especially when A-Rod comes back.
Let us know when you're coming in for the May 9th game Scott. Perhaps we can meet up before the game and you can meet Jordan and the rest of the family.
Glad to see things are back to normal. I had to really resist the temptation to change this to a Savannah Sand Gnats template. haha – Mark http://mlblogs.mlblogs.com
Let me know what the plans are for the next rendition of The Rivalry so I can be prepared. Mark http://mlblogs.mlblogs.com
Hi Scott. I saw from She-Fans blog we will be at the same Baltimore game next weekend. I'll be with my family so I am not sure I would be able to meet up but I didn't want to seem rude! I'm looking forward to seeing Camden Yards, I have hjeard good things. I like your blog. The rivalry is so much more civilized and fun here.
Ummm…Scott? What are you doing with Wally and Lou? Glad to see you a little happy to be back in the Yankees world!
Okay, whoo hooo. The Yankees won, Red Sox lost and the Celtics once again manage to go to overtime!!! TRIPLE??? And lose! Thankfully I went to bed early and missed all the endings. Enjoy the wins now Scott – you won't be seeing any next Monday and Tuesday! And could you send me your hat size? I want to make sure you have a perfect fit for the photo!;-)
Have a great time at the game on Sunday!
