My 2K9 Team-Full Of Cuties!
Before I begin, let me just say this: If any of my Haldane teachers came to check out my blog and this is what was posted, please don't judge me. You might want to scroll down to the post about the 3-2 win over the Angels.
Okay. I got Major League Baseball 2K9 for my birthday for PC, and I made a team. I did a draft as the Yankees and made sure I picked cuties. I think almost all of the cuties on this team were mentioned in the division cutie posts.
Here is the starting lineup for my 2K9 team:
1) Ichiro, RF
Ichiro leads the league in steals in my game.
2) Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
The only Red Sox player I like. And I really like him🙂
3) Mark Teixeira, 1B
Look at his smile! Priceless! Tex is adorable! He leads the league in homers and RBI's in my game.
4) Andre Ethier (♥) DH, RF
Oh, Andre….everyone knows I love Andre. That's why I made sure he was the first player I got!
5) Ian Kinsler, 2B
Ian was having a fantastic season, before that stolen base….
6) Eric Chavez, 3B
Quietly hitting very well for my 2K9 Yanks.
7) David DeJesus, LF
Every time he is up, I try and hit the ball to the opposite field for a single. He leads my team in batting average, so I keep doing that!
8) Jerry Hairston, SS
Solid all around, when I need a hit, Jerry gets it.
9) Francisco Cervelli (♥♥♥), C
Of course Cervelli is my starting catcher. I screamed when I found out he was in the game!
Pretty cute team, huh? There was one horrible thing that happened involving Ian Kinsler. I tried to steal a base as him, and I went into second sliding. I was happy I was safe, but my happiness was cut short. Ian got hurt, something with his finger. I put in one of my benchies to play for Ian, and I finished the game. I won! But after the game, I got the news about Ian. He tore his finger ligament and was going to miss at least 60 games. I was so mad. I was planning on exiting the game, without saving the game I just did, but it autosaved! Ian Kinsler was injured, and there was nothing I could do about it. So I got a replacement.
Freddy Sanchez! He is filling in nicely so far. When Kinsler comes back, I will have to decide what to do with Freddy. But I have time to think about that.
I'll show you my pitchers after the next off-day. The season is winding down….it's getting sad. Yankees all the way this year!
I hope you enjoyed this cutie post.

Virginia, I definitely enoyed your entry especially Andre and Ichiro. You always brighten my day.
you guys played us tough this last series. Great job by nailing Lester on the knee – hope he sucks in the playoffs as a result!
What a great idea for a title! And I LOVE the starting nine! We all know that you know your baseball but a little eye-candy to go wiith it is not bad. Ahh, we get the best of both worlds. Watch the game we love and watch the boys.
No Jeter, No A-Rod? I'm not a girl, but it seems like those two are the ones that you girls go after. Guess not. Not much else I can say about this post. Haha.

WV is no longer the starter of this thread now, it is some guy who made a crap post from 2011 that no one even remembers or thought about it.
lol "hilltop English". I didn't want to discriminate because I came to this country only knowing Spanish and I had to learn English late, but it's pretty funny if you grew up here and don't have a command of the language at such an old age. I don't want to be mean about it though, just a funny thought.
Yea, Smokes is a weird little dude coming in here with no guns blazing trying to play devil's advocate which totally back fired. That's why I enjoyed the thread so much, it was perfectly executed and a great sequence of post. Clyde ruined that with his merging. Clyde doesn't even post on this site but he comes in here and does some random mindless crap like that.
Jim holds credibility on this site because I was wrong about Crawford and Jim backed him up since day 1.
Crawford was never the problem, he just couldn't be the best player on his team. Crawford makes a great 4th or 5th best player on a very good team.
This is where a lot of these posters fail themselves and I agree to the max.
When you hold yourself to your opinion and ignore the facts, you will be made foolish and the "I"M THREW WITH MELO" thread proved that in a perfect fashion.
It really triggered Clyde to see that and so he had to do something to hide it in a 142 page thread. What a loser.
This site was feeding off the multiple discussions that were going on in each thread with their own theme and Cool Clyde killed any momentum this site was having.
The only people who would support this idea are WV and the two people I have ignored. They want all Carmelo-support information thrown away and not to be scene by guest who visit and read this site on a daily basis(there are tons of guest here but not enough posters because of people like Clyde bringing his no energy-boring style and ruining the site with these decisions and his boring article thread that he only replies to himself)
I don't know if Clyde is purposely trying to sabotage this site, but this was a god awful decision that Rady or RunningJumper should take action and fix.
No one should have their conversation or thread thrown in a pile of garbage like this. What a mess Clyde has created.
Metro I think MELO would be so freaked out with your many many posts about him....It borders obsessive,,,,,,,
Once you do see the threads merged its pretty creepy to see you are 1/2 the posts about Melo and how great he is over and over,,,,,,,,,,,,,,......
NO when MELO takes 30 shots and is shooting 30% thats is not good.....WHY OH WHY DO YOU NOT GET THE DIFFERENCE..............

I can understand that it might be a bit difficult to follow the last pages of the thread given the fact that some of the topics grew in parallel but calling out everybody you have a problem with, for this is just insane.
Me bumping a thread doesn't give Clyde the opportunity to merge every single Carmelo Anthony thread this site has made into one thread. If you think that's logical and okay, we know why this site is the way it is today. (In before you come back and blaming me for the sites troubles)
Boring? Have you seen your game threads? Or your post in general? Do people even read what you post? Before you speak, let's see you be active on this site and add some hype or bring some traffic.
In fact the only traffic this site was getting were from my threads.
Clyde has spammed and even sticked his crap article thread that no one pays attention or replies to. You didn't say anything about that.Rono doesn't even come here to post, he comes here to give credit to his sexual partners or mention something about me, same with Crazy8 with his 2 reply glitter threads.
Please don't talk about "insults" when you don't even have active moderators on this site. That's like complaining about speeding with no speed limit on the road. You're a weird dude man.
What have you done for this site in the past 3 years besides pay a petty bill and make some crappy new design that looks 10X worse than the regular? then I could see why this site has been dying because you never upgrade yourself as an admin. You've been the same bum dude since 2002. 11 Years and no progress. I'm keeping it real with you. Romania has failed you.
You've really let this site go to complete crap by not allowing discussion and hype in any thread for that matter.
As for me, I've done everything I need to do to engage posters and keep the forum update with new threads. If you have a personal problem with my name being on the first page on the threads, then PM me about it like a man and I'll get other people to start threads in here if you don't like seeing my name
I'm out of here. Not even trying to look back at this thread too because it's AIDS given by Clyde and allowed by Rady. Knowing them, they'll delete this post. lol It's too much of a blow up for them to read.
Enjoy a forum of Carmelo down playing between 3G4G and Kiyaman and ball slurping between Clyde, Rono, Smokes and 8s.
You guys can catch me here.

Im with Metrocard.
Whoevers idea it was to merge all these threads is retarded. At the very least you should have created a sub forum called All Things Melo and put all the threads into that forum.
But tossing all this **** into one thread is DREADFUL.
Its like one big ass chat conversation about too many things surrounding our SUPERSTAR player.
The oldest thread on the the first page is Jan 8 3 weeks ago, I haven't counted but that's probably less than 2 threads a day that are being posted, hardly are reason to do housecleaning on the site. Just because a particular thread is about Melo doesn't mean it shouldn't have it's own thread, it's more logical to create threads about topics like his pending FA or why you hate him because you think he's an inefficient ISO player rather than because it's about him.
For all the Melo haters here that have DVR's I suggest you stop listening to the biased NBA media (ABC/ESPN) and record and view the games yourselves play by play. If you do this you will notice a few things like
#1- All season long Shumpert has been gambling/botching his rotations on defense to come up with steals or just flat out losing his man on plays without switching even being an issue.
#2- Shumpert has on offense made a lot of poor decisions as well as not made shots within the offense.
#3-Bargnani for whatever reasons has been force fed into the starting lineup and has not been able to hit 3pt.'s with consisitency.
Why? Don't know. Maybe not enough reps in practice from around the arc is my guess.
#4-Bargnani's inability to grasp rotations on defense. I think if he worked with KMart & Tyson during practice and off time more he
might grasp the concepts better. Just a thought.
#5-Woodson trying to force certain players into the games at the wrong times in spite of what already might be working.
#6-Not holding players accountable for stalling ball movement and player movement on offense on the court. Not to mention too
much switching as well on defense.
These are the things that have leaped out at me from the tv screen amongst other things. This past week Woodson has changed some of these mistakes due to Bargnani's injury. Hopefully he learns from these mistakes for the rest of the season so that we can make the playoffs and be competitive as well.
I want a title for this team. I've been a Knicks fan for almost 40 yrs. Yes I watched Clyde,Earl the Pearl,Bill Bradley, D.DeBusschre,W.Reed, Bob McAdoo,and Spencer Haywood play together...that's how far back I go.
When I stopped listening to the talking head A**holes on ABC/ESPN and watched more NBAtv and watched our Knicks games
closer I see the roots of our problems a lot clearer. Ownership/management and coaching staffs in the last 5 yrs. has made colossal
blunder after blunder even with cap space and an amnesty to use on Amare'.
Anyone who remembers Walsh picking up Billups option when C.Paul was available that off season or close to available and from what I
remember the same people that hate on Melo not even realizing that Walsh stopped us from signing C.Paul and T.Chandler using the amnesty on Amare' was the most colossal blunder since the E.Curry trade and none of you Melo haters spoke up.
Stop listening and watching the talking heads .They're all biased. Watch the games closely and league closely on League Pass and you'll
see what I mean.
He's had plenty of encouragement to dial it down 5000 but he's stubborn to his own bitter end.
Once again Clyde and whoever else felt the time was now to do this, did all of us justice....even the ignoranuses

The dolphin had washed up sometime Saturday morning, Aug. 24.
She said she knew of other places in the region that had dolphins wash up, but she'd never heard it happening in Copano Bay, especially at Bayside.
"We felt sick. We'd never lived this close to the water," Carter said.
"Is it pollution ... something that occurred in the water?" she asked.
"I hope it is not caused by mankind," she added.
The couple tried calling several agencies with no luck on a Saturday morning, but they finally were successful in contacting Tony Amos, a research fellow at the University of Texas Marine Institute in Port Aransas.
Amos, who has written a column for the South Jetty newspaper in Port Aransas for 30 years, drove over to Bayside on Sunday, found the dolphin about 200 yards north of the Bayside fishing pier, laying on the shore.
He took measurements and tried to ascertain what killed the dolphin.
"The dolphin was a male and 262 centimeters long," Amos said.
That's a little more than eight-and-a-half feet long.
Amos guessed the weight of the animal to be around 400 pounds.
He said there was no indication of what killed the dolphin.
And no mention of the hundreds of dolphins dying off the eastern coast reported by NBC on Aug. 20 was made. Those dolphins and more were believed to be plagued by a killer virus.
"Some of his teeth were worn. Not a really old one but they had some wear," he said.
Oddly, that same day, Amos said another dolphin had washed up dead at Ingleside. That one was a female and had shark bites on it, but those bites weren't believed to be why the dolphin died.
Amos expressed surprise at the shark bites, saying dolphins don't stray from their group, so it was strange that the Ingleside dolphin had shark bites.
Amos said in the Port Aransas region, which ranges from Rockport to Corpus Christi, has about 30 animal deaths a year.
"The Port A region goes all the way down to Copano Bay," he said.
He said the last dolphin reported death was back in July.
But the occurrence in Copano Bay is unusual, according to residents.
Because the dolphin was badly decomposed, Amos said it was too late for an autopsy. The dolphin may have died out in the bay and then washed up onshore.
And the dolphin at Bayside was in an awkward place: on the shoreline below a short seawall so moving it presented a challenge.
Bayside Mayor Ken Dahl said he contacted Amos, who told him that the Texas Parks in Wildlife in Rockport would send an air boat over and drag the dolphin to an island where it could decompose naturally.

Several shots were fired in a road rage incident on Madison's east side Sunday morning, according to Madison police.
A 35-year-old Mount Horeb man said he was a passenger in a car being driven by his friend, a 28-year-old Edgerton man, early Sunday morning as the two were returning from Wisconsin Dells when the incident started on South Stoughton Road.
He said they must have accidentally cut off the driver of a dark-colored SUV who then fired several rounds from the driver's side window. He told police he could see muzzle flashes.
The shooter got out of the SUV at the intersection of Stoughton Road and East Washington Avenue and the witness said he had a handgun at his side, according to police. The men called for police and the shooter fled.
The shooter is described as black, in his 30s, 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds with short hair and a goatee with other facial stubble but no mustache. He was wearing dark clothing.

When urgency to cure beats research ethics, bad things happen
Editor's note: Just for your edification, here's a "bonus" post. True, you might have seen this recently elsewhere, but it's so appropriate for SBM that I couldn't resist sharing it with those of you who might not read the other source where this was published recently. 🙂
I've written a lot about Stanislaw Burzynski and what I consider to be his unethical use and abuse of clinical trials. Before that, I used to regularly write about Mark Geier and his unethical use and abuse of IRBs and clinical trials. Both doctors use their own IRBs stacked with their own cronies to rubberstamp scientifically and ethically dubious studies. Mark Geier got away with it for years. Stanislaw Burzynski got away with it for decades and, apparently, is still getting away with it to some extent. (His IRB is chaired by an old Baylor crony of his from the 1970s, and he has been cited for numerous problems with his IRBs.) I'd like to contrast how their unethical research, in which Mark Geier and his son David subjected autistic children to chemical castration with Lupron to decrease testosterone levels and allegedly make mercury easier to chelate (to them mercury was bound by testosterone, something that doesn't happen under physiological conditions but requires organic solvents) and Stanislaw Burzynski administered an unproven cancer chemotherapy (antineoplastons) to hundreds of patients over the years and charged them for it, compares to a recent case in the news.
The case has been mentioned by PZ Myers. It happened that it involves the same sort of tumors that Stanislaw Burzynski claims to be able to cure, namely brain tumors. It happened at the University of California Davis (UC Davis) and involved two very prominent neurosurgeons there, a former head of the department Dr. J. Paul Muizelaar and Dr. Rudolph J. Schrot, who were found to have violated university's faculty code of conduct with their experimental work. When you read this part of the story, you'll shiver. At least, I did:

Police say a man accused of robbing a bank was wearing a nametag identifying himself when he approached tellers and demanded cash.
The Associated Press reports that 68-year-old John Martinez walked into a bank in Denver on Tuesday wearing a T-shirt with the name "John" on the chest area.
Investigators also said that witnesses wrote down Martinez's license plate number, and the the car was registered to Martinez himself.
Martinez was arrested a few hours after the robbery, reports the Denver Post. Police say he told them he and his wife were recently evicted from their home.
He is being held without bail on an aggravated robbery charge.

Chase: Focus is back on the trackBy JENNA FRYER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | October 24,2013CHARLOTTE, N.C. Jeff Gordon got into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship when NASCAR made an unprecedented move to expand the playoff field to 13 drivers after the controversial ending at Richmond.
Six weeks later, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson is back on top of the standings and in a tight points race with Matt Kenseth. Gordon is fifth, still mathematically in contention for his fifth title, just behind Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick.
And the focus finally seems to be back on the championship, instead of the shenanigans that occurred just before the 10-race Chase began.
Youre going to go through rough patches and take some hits whether youre a competitor or whether youre a sport. That was certainly one of them, Gordon said during testing at Texas Motor Speedway this week. But ever since then, the focus has been on the competition and whats happening on the track, and I feel like every week that builds, weve got a tight points battle with the first two guys and thats certainly going to every week create a lot of interest.
Johnson takes a four-point lead over Kenseth into Sundays race at Martinsville. Its the first time Kenseth hasnt been the points leader since the Chase began, and he opened it with wins in the first two rounds. But the Joe Gibbs Racing driver is coming off a 20th-place finish at Talladega that allowed Johnson to take his first lead of the Chase.
Gordon was added to the Chase when NASCAR Chairman Brian France determined the four-time champion did not have a fair chance to race his way into the 12-driver field because of the actions of at least three organizations over the closing laps at Richmond.
NASCAR determined that Michael Waltrip Racing manipulated the outcome of the race in a bid to get Martin Truex Jr. into the Chase. The sanctioning body also placed Penske Racing and Front Row Motorsports on probation for the rest of the season when one-sided radio chatter showed Front Row discussing giving Penske track position in exchange for an unidentified favor.
It definitely was a funk, Johnson said. I think that its kind of a distant thought now for most, although I saw Martin Truex (at testing in Texas on Tuesday), and it certainly isnt a distant thought for him. ... I feel bad for the guy.
The fallout has cost Truex his job at MWR. The team will run that car only a partial schedule next season because sponsor NAPA Auto Parts said it is leaving at the end of the season, a decision that forced MWR to layoff roughly 15 percent of its workforce.
Johnson said he hopes NASCAR has learned a lot about what happened and can prevent it from happening again.
I feel like the racing and the tight points battle weve had has really come through all of that, and theres a really good outlook for our 2013 season when you reflect back on it when the years over, he said.
Gordon said those few days after Richmond were among the toughest hes ever been through in racing.
My emotions are good right now, he said. Now that things have gone well, its been fun. Racing has been fun since Chicago.
NOT GIVING UP: Carl Edwards is doing a balancing act the last four races of the NASCAR season.
We are not putting this season behind us yet, he said.
Even though his championship chance this year is all but gone hes 10th in the standings and 68 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson, Edwards isnt ready to count the rest of this season as just testing and preparation for next year.
We have two things to do for the rest of the year. Number one, just win as many races as we can, have as much fun as we can, Edwards said. But two, its a real close second, is to prepare for 2014. It starts over again very quickly and every bonus point you can get through wins next season will help you to compete for that championship.
The Roush-Fenway Racing driver has twice been the season runner-up, including 2011 when he tied in points but finished second on the tiebreaker because Tony Stewart had more wins. Edwards won a series-high nine races in 2008, when he was also second.
My mission is to win the championship. That what I want to do, Edwards said. I know what its like to win a bunch of races in a year. I know what its like to be close.
MAMMOVAN: Alexis DeJoria heads to the NHRA Toyota National at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with her Funny Car painted pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.
But DeJoria has taken the cause a step further, partnering with Nevada Health Centers to bring a Mammovan to the race. The mobile mammogram unit in a semi-truck will provide free mammograms to women over 40 at the track. The Mammovan will be located behind DeJorias pit the entire race weekend.
Im very grateful that we were able to partner with the Nevada Health Centers this year, and provide this incredible service in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, said DeJoria, who plans to be at the van during down time over the weekend.MORE IN Wire SportsORLANDO, Fla.

Officials with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque are using an "Enhanced Fujita Scale," or the EF, to categorize the strength of Friday's tornadoes.
The scale ranges from EF0 — winds 65 mph to 85 mph — to EF5, or winds in excess of 200 mph.
Officials estimated Friday's Clovis tornado measured EF2 (120-125 mph winds) from the south end along U.S. 70 to the railroad tracks and north from Sycamore Street to 21st Street.
From the railroad tracks to Yucca Junior High, winds ranged from EF0 to EF1 (65-100 mph), said Keith Hayes, warning coordination meteorologist for NWS in Albuquerque.
The tornado that touched down on Friday afternoon in Logan has been determined to be an EF1, with winds estimated between 90 mph and 95 mph, with spikes up to 105 mph, Hayes said.
The original Fujita Scale was developed by meteorologist Theodore Fujita in 1971, but has been modified over the years due to changes in construction and building materials to include more damage indicators, said NWS forecaster Tim Shy.
The newest system uses 28 damage indicators from a transmission line tower to a double-wide mobile home to a shopping mall. Each is also assessed for its DOD or degree of damage, Shy said.
There are only six measures because after 200 mph winds, "everything gets wiped out," Hayes said.
There are no records of an EF5 in New Mexico since information has been tracked, going back 60 years, Hayes said.

The new motion controllers that Sony announced over the summer and that they showed off during E3 and Tokyo Game Show might have the codename 'Sphere,' according to a couple of developers at TGS who accidentally let the codename slip in interviews about the peripheral.
Sega's Yasuhito Baba let the name slip in an interview, and, when asked if Gran Turismo would support 'Sphere,' Polyphony Digital's Kazunori Yamauchi began talking about the motion controller. Seems like at lease a few developers out there are operating under the assumption that 'Sphere' is, in fact, what it will be called.
What do you think of that name? Personally, all it does for me is conjure up the 1998 movie, starring Dustin Hoffman and Sharon Stone, but I have a penchant for bad science fiction films of the late 20th Century.

Ah the troll is back. It's nice to know you're still here spreading the hate. If you've been a Knick fan since your preteen years, you know the number one cardinal rule of not wavering your support for your team no matter what happens. I'm sure there's people here who have suffered much longer than you have yet they wouldn't dare think to post what u did.
Keep up the attitude though, I'm sure you'll be a welcome addition to a team that got loudly booed in their own arena last season when we played them. I'll be sure to attend one of the Knicks-Nets games in Brooklyn if only to continue that tradition.

For Immediate Release
April 24, 2006
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Board of Education
is pleased to announce Illinois ASPIRE, the Illinois Alliance
for School-based Problem-solving and Intervention Resources
in Education. This new training and technical assistance
project is funded through a five-year State Personnel
Grant under Part D of the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Improvement Act of 2004. The primary goal of
Illinois ASPIRE is to establish and implement a coordinated,
regionalized system of personnel development that will
increase the capacity of school systems to provide early
intervening services, aligned with the general education
curriculum, to at-risk students and students with disabilities,
as measured by improved student progress and performance.
Illinois ASPIRE will be carried out through four regional
centers—one in the city of Chicago and one each
in the northern, central, and southern parts of the state.
To establish the Illinois ASPIRE Centers, ISBE issued
a Request for Proposals in October 2005 and applications
were due in December 2005. The Illinois ASPIRE Center
grants were awarded in February 2006, and the entities
that will administer each of the four centers are:
Illinois ASPIRE – Chicago: Chicago Public Schools,
District 299
Illinois ASPIRE – North: Northern Suburban Special
Education District
Illinois ASPIRE – Central: Peoria Regional Office
of Education #48
Illinois ASPIRE – South: Southern Illinois University
– Edwardsville & Carbondale
Illinois ASPIRE – Chicago: Chicago Public Schools,
District 299
Illinois ASPIRE – North: Northern Suburban Special
Education District
Illinois ASPIRE – Central: Peoria Regional Office
of Education #48
Illinois ASPIRE – South: Southern Illinois University
– Edwardsville & Carbondale
All Illinois ASPIRE Centers will provide standardized
professional development and technical assistance to educators
and parents in their geographic regions, focused on the
following topics:
A unique aspect of Illinois ASPIRE is the fact that it
is designed to integrate components of the Illinois Flexible
Service Delivery System, Illinois Reading First and the
Standards-Aligned Classroom Initiative.
To facilitate school- and student-level data collection
and evaluation, school demonstration/data collection sites
will be identified within each region through a Request
for Proposals process. These sites will receive training
and technical assistance services from the Illinois ASPIRE
For more information about Illinois ASPIRE, the regional
centers and applying to serve as a demonstration/data
collection site, please visit the ISBE website at http://www.isbe.net/spec-ed/html/illinois-aspire.htm
or contact Kathryn Cox in the Special Education Services
Division at 217-782-5589 or email@example.com.

When your little one "got it" or at least got interested in food, did you experience a drop in nursing activity for a little while?
I have been so used to nursing on demand (and offering anytime she seemed the least bit fussy) that I hadn't noticed when it occurred, but Sunday is the first time I saw her actually chow down on food (and swallow most of it) and it seems like somewhere in between there her nursing has decreased. At first it just seemed like her time on the breast was far less and I thought maybe she suddenly became more efficient - but my pump output has tanked again (and it isn't ovulation this time) and once I started paying attention she really is nursing less.
Her diaper output is great, but when I started offering more often she kind of gives a gratuitous suck and then wants to play. Her poo is definitely reflecting a decent solid food intake, but I don't want her to wean off this quickly and this early. Should I offer less food, or cut back to one meal a day (we are doing breakfast and dinner)?
She is also crazy active, I just made her a play area and she is either crawling or cruising along the furniture any chance she gets, is it possible that it isn't just the solids and she is distracted by other things as well?
I've been drinking mothers milk tea and watching my water intake to get supply back up, but am worried about whether she is potentially self weaning early - I don't want her off the breast just yet, she still has a lot of growing to do!
Thanks for reading this, sorry so long.

January Top Notch Teacher
SPARTA, Wis. -- Classes like AP Biology, Genetics and Anatomy & Physiology may sound intimidating to some high school students. But at Sparta High School several Juniors and Seniors are opting to take these courses because of who's teaching them.
While most students are rolling out of bed to get ready for school, Mrs. Kemp is already in the classroom.
"I actually try to come to school, I'm always here by 6:30, I try to be here by 6:00. I try to put in at least one hour after school everyday," said Donna Kemp.
And her time in the classroom isn't limited to weekdays. Mrs. Kemp says she asks a lot of her students, but in return she gives a lot.
AP Biology student Rachel Murnane said, "On the weekends sometimes to help her AP Biology students, which is our class, she will come in on the weekends and invite us to come in and have a study group because there is so much material to go over in this class. I don't ever remember a teacher ever doing that for students."
Mrs. Kemp has taught at Sparta High School for the past 18 years. During that time she climbed her way to head of the science department, but last year decided to give up that position for more time to do what she loves. "When you have experience in the classroom they want to use your expertise, else where, but what I really enjoy is being in here."
And students enjoy that time as well. "She can turn anybody into a top notch student. She is the most dedicated person to her career that I've ever seen. She's always here helping us and she always tries to get us to be better people inside the classroom and out," said AP Biology student Amanda Flock.
Having that kind of impact is what got Mrs. Kemp into the teaching profession and what keeps her in the classroom.
Mrs. Kemp says helping students get the grade they didn't think was possible makes all her long hours worth it.
We should mention she does take off Saturdays to spend time with family.

Body found along river
PARKERSBURG – The body of Nick R. Blackburn Jr., 29, of Parkersburg was found Wednesday afternoon near the Little Kanawha River on Depot Street, city police said.
The cause of death has not been determined, officials said.
At about 2:50 p.m. Wednesday the Parkersburg Police Department responded to the 600 block of Depot Street in reference to a deceased body. When police arrived, they found the man lying face down and partially clothed, officials said.
The man's body was found by employees with the Department of Highways at the rear of the DOH property at 620 Depot St., according to police reports. Police said the employees observed what they believed to be a deceased person lying on the property between the Little Kanawha River and the rear property of the DOH.
Parkersburg Police Chief Joe Martin said the man was living in Parkersburg.
Preliminary investigation results have indicated Blackburn had been reported missing to the Parkersburg Police Department on Monday. The person who reported Blackburn missing said he had been missing since Friday, Feb. 1, police said.
Police detectives interviewed the man's family and they identified the body as that of Blackburn, Martin said. There were no obvious signs of trauma on the body, police said. Blackburn was transported to the West Virginia Medical Examiner's Office in Charleston for an autopsy.
Police are asking that anyone with information regarding the case contact the Parkersburg Police Department at 304-424-8444.

Audit: State overspends on cellphone plansBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Press Bureau | November 05,2013MONTPELIER State Auditor Doug Hoffer says an examination of state cellphone records shows the state is purchasing far more minutes, data and phones than it uses, and that under-utilization of the services constitutes a significant waste of taxpayer money.
The performance audit by Hoffers office reviewed charges in 2012 for more than 3,000 state-issued cellphones, and found that of the 11 million minutes purchased by various government agencies, more than 5 million went unused.
Of the 2,900 cellphones with bundled voice and data plans, according to Hoffer, 42 percent used little or no data. And 9 percent of state-issued cellphones, Hoffer said, werent used at all.
All told, Hoffer said the under-utilization is costing the state $272,00 in unnecessary expenses annually more than 15 percent of the $1.64 million the state spends annually on cellphone bills.
Hoffer said centralizing the coordination of cellphone plans for disparate government departments, and creating statewide guidelines for aspects of cellphone management, could yield future savings.
The Department of Information and Innovation technically has authority for all of this stuff, but for some reason, at least until now, departments and agencies had been acting pretty much independently, Hoffer said Monday.
In 2012, according to the audit, the state had 115 cellphone buying pools, which enable the sharing of voice minutes and data usage within individual buying groups. Hoffer said the state ought to be availing itself of the economies of scale that come with running such a large organization.
Its got to be centralized, Hoffer said.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said he appreciates Hoffers focus on the cellphone issue, and that he agrees with the auditors findings. Spaulding said the state will use the performance audit as a springboard for a comprehensive statewide framework governing the purchase, acceptable usage and management of not only cellular devices ... but also statewide land(line) use as well.
Weve been waiting for this report anxiously, because the governor and this administration believe that the areas of cellphone usage, and how it might affect land lines, are ripe for review and discussion, Spaulding said.
Spaulding said the state likely cant forgo landlines altogether, but that some state employees, like him, communicate almost exclusively by cell, or could do so without any disruption in productivity. Prospects for landline savings, Spaulding said, means the state might be able to squeeze more than the $272,000 in waste that Hoffer found from its annual communications costs.

Class Action Suit Airs Intel and Microsoft's Vista Dirty Laundry
Jason Mick
February 29, 2008 1:07 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The little sticker that is causing a world of trouble for Microsoft and Intel.
(Source: DailyTech)
Microsoft executive -- "We set ourselves up"
One of the most iconic images of Microsoft's Windows Vista launch in January 2007 was the small "Windows Vista Capable" stickers on computers months before, reassuring customers that when the new operating system came out, their computers could be updated to the latest and greatest. Unfortunately for the consumer it appears that the capabilities that these stickers promised were intentionally exaggerated to benefit Microsoft and chipmaker Intel.
A class action suit filed against Microsoft in April 2007
accused Microsoft of intentionally misleading
consumers with the stickers, claiming the "Vista Capable" logos on computers that were anything but. The suit centered around several key points, among which was that the computers sold could not run Windows Vista's more impressive features such as the Aero user interface, and were left with only a bare-bones skeleton of Vista. The suit
forced Microsoft to redefine
its definition of what exactly "Vista Capable" meant, which included Microsoft's addition of a disclaimer that some of the PCs bearing the sticker could not run significant Vista features such as Aero.
Meanwhile, the legal case proceeded forward. Armed with internal emails obtained from Microsoft, the plaintiffs,
represented by high-power attorney Jeffrey Tilden of Gordon Tilden Thomas & Cordell,
took their case before a U.S. District Judge in order to gain class action status
. In a significant victory for the plaintiffs
U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman
granted the case class action status
, with the primary focus being to determine whether Microsoft intentionally deceived consumers to sell PCs. The judge also opened the door for the suit to also encompass gripes about the lack of Aero if the plaintiffs found another named plaintiff who bough Vista but was unable to run Aero.
Now in the aftermath of the ruling, the Judge Pechman
unsealed 158 pages of Microsoft corporate emails
(PDF) that paint a picture Microsoft would rather not have the public see.
Some of these emails featured Microsoft employees candidly describing the program with, "
Even a piece of junk will qualify" for "Vista Capable" designation. The now famous email from
Mike Nash, currently a corporate vice president for Windows product management, states, "
I PERSONALLY got burnt ... Are we seeing this from a lot of customers? ... I now have a $2,100 e-mail machine."
Less dramatic, but equally damaging was the email from
Jim Allchin, then the co-president of Microsoft's Platforms and Services Division, stating grimly, "
We really botched this ... You guys have to do a better job with our customers."
The most interesting emails though, turn out to be the new ones. While a number of key portions of several emails were redacted, the parts that remain paint a picture of intentional deception that Microsoft virtually admitted to in the internal emails.
In the emails Microsoft executives discuss how the
Intel 915 Chipset
was to initially be deemed incompatible Windows Vista. The policy was abruptly reversed. Says one of the executives in charge of the decision, "
In the end, we lowered the requirements to help Intel make their quarterly earnings so they could continue to sell motherboards with the 915 graphics embedded. We are caving to Intel. We worked the last 18 months to drive the [user interface] experience and we are giving this up."
This admission is extremely significant as it precisely describes what was alleged by the class action suit. Microsoft will have to fight an uphill battle to prove that its employees' email correspondence was inaccurate and misleading.
Other emails make it clear that retailers had voiced frustrations with Microsoft, and were met with stubborn resistance from Microsoft executives due to the policy, which aimed to underhandedly pump up Intel's chipset sales. Says one Microsoft executive, guiltily, "
I was in Best Buy listening to people and can tell you this did not come clear to customers. We set ourselves up."
"Young lady, in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!" -- Homer Simpson

I was poking around alexa today http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_sites?cc=CA&ts_mode=country&lang=none and saw that Plentyoffish is now a top 30 site In Canada ahead of all other dating sites. http://ranking.websearch.com/SiteInfo.aspx?url=plentyoffish.com (Ask.com's toolbar network) puts me in the top 43 most viewed sites on the web. In the bigger picture Plentyoffish.com is neck in neck with yahoo personals and still a ways behind match.com. It amazes me to think that my 1 person company is able to compete at a level where all the competitors have 600+ servers, and 300+ full time staff. I feel like I am ahead of my time, and when I look around at the companies out there today I have a hard time seeing them existing in a few years. I believe that in a few years 2 or 3 person companies will replace companies that have 40 or 50 employees.
I sometimes wonder if i'm crazy for not going paid, and passing up 100's of millions a year in revenue. But i created this site to change the world, and make money at the same time. I may not make $20 million a month like the other sites my size but google pays me good money :) My effective CPM (under $1.00) may be very very low, but when you have a site this huge it really ads up. (My girlfriend is holding up the cheque, its for 2 months as googles EFT bounced.)

MIAMI, Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to support the unprecedented growth of the tablet market, Acceller, Inc., released the latest version of their e-commerce platform optimized for a tablet experience. The tablet-optimized platform is unique in the digital home services industry.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130108/FL39399LOGO )

"Our new tablet-optimized solution allows consumers to compare prices and features from over 30 major brands in the U.S. They can now easily place orders directly from their favorite tablet device -- all from the comfort of their couch, their kitchen, or anywhere else they use their tablets."
Apple reports selling over 100 million iPads worldwide, and Yankee Group estimates that tablet sales will surpass PC sales in 2016.

In this strange new world where more and more power is drawn from business technology, companies are effectively straddling two paths on the road to innovation and transformation into digital enterprises. The first path is the heritage trail – with "legacy" technology forming the background. Here, extant technologies are transformed by core IT teams to provide more API-driven approaches. Legacy systems can restrict companies that are transitioning into digital enterprises. To truly become a lead...

What happens when the different parts of a vehicle become smarter than the vehicle itself? As we move toward the era of smart everything, hundreds of entities in a vehicle that communicate with each other, the vehicle and external systems create a need for identity orchestration so that all entities work as a conglomerate.

The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to simplify and streamline our lives by automating routine tasks that distract us from our goals. This promise is based on the ubiquitous deployment of smart, connected devices that link everything from industrial control systems to automobiles to refrigerators.

It'll be dry and bright for most, but patchy overnight frost and fog are likely in the southeast. Through the week periods of wet and windy weather are expected to move across the UK from the west. The most unsettled conditions are likely across the north and west, with drier and brighter weather for southern and eastern areas. It'll be windy at times, with the possibility of gales in the west and northwest, but it will be much less windy further south and east. By mid December there'll probably be some longer, drier spells between the wet weather, perhaps heralding a change to something generally more settled. It'll be fairly mild initially but temperatures are likely to return closer to normal, although passing weather systems may raise them at times.
Updated at: 1140 on Thu 8 Dec 2016
UK Outlook for Friday 23 Dec 2016 to Friday 6 Jan 2017:
Whilst there is a good deal of uncertainty for this period, it is most likely that more settled conditions may dominate associated with high pressure affecting the UK. If the pressure does build, then we can expect drier than average conditions for most areas with lighter winds. Temperatures are also then likely to be below average with an increased risk of frost and fog, especially where skies remain clear overnight. There will probably also be some milder, unsettled interludes though, and as we head into the New Year this may become more of a feature in our weather, with the greatest likelihood of changeable conditions in the northwest, giving rain here at times.

Patton – The Tinkle Heard 'Round The World
General George S. Patton was a brash, brave, and brilliant man. He was also (thankfully) one of our military leaders with the right stuff, in the right place, at the right time, to help win a war that had to be won. One example is when Patton assumed command of the U.S. Third Army in 1944, which under his leadership advanced farther, captured more enemy prisoners, and liberated more territory... Read More »

Trophy competition and a cocktail re-titling recall one of the games great characters.
One of UKs great poker characters, the late Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott, has been remembered in various moves designed to honour his contribution to the game and his singular character.
The most significant of the initiatives is by World Poker Tour, which in partnership with Rob Yongs Dusk Til Dawn poker club in Nottingham has announced the inaugural Devilfish Cup, a GBP 5,000 buy-in competition with a guaranteed prize pool of GBP 1 million which will kick off on October 31 this year at DTD.
GBP 300 and a 3 percent share of the final prize pool will be donated to the Marie Curie support organisation for terminally ill patients and a trust fund for Ulliotts daughter Lucy.
DTD Director Simon Trumper said this week that the arrangements were in line with Daves wishes expressed prior to his death, and revealed that in a further tribute to Devilfishs well known love of a good time, the club has rebranded its bar with his name, and re-titled his favourite drink - a double vodka with Red Bull - "The Devilfish".
Finally, The October 31 tournament in Devilfishs honour will be followed November 2 with a massive DTD party in which a live band will play a Devilfish rock n roll fave "Johnny Be Good."

Spring Drags On
Mid-March is about the time when I begin to find Spring Training dull and get anxious for the real games to begin. Ok yes, Joe Blanton had a good outing against the Tigers today after a shaky spring start. Cole Hamels looks like he is in good shape with two solid performances so far. The bats are jumping and as a team, the Phillies are hitting at an average of .301 with 7 homers and 36 RBI. And still, I am a bit sleepy about the whole thing.
In my boredom today, I decided to scan through this week's MLB headlines to see what was going on around the league. Here are a few fun tidbits I came across in my search:
Yankees shortstop and baseball God, Derek Jeter, sat out of a Spring Training game with flu symptoms. And then an Angel lost its wings :O(

The Mets Jose Reyes may not be ready to play on Opening Day. His thyroid hormone blood levels are elevated and he is not supposed to do anything that could raise his heart rate. You know, things like showboating on the base paths or talking to Federal agents about his Canadian doctor's link to performance-enhancing drugs…stuff like that.

Wow, Jenn, if I didn't know any better, after looking at your headline entries, I might think baseball was a sinking ship! LOL. Gotta love the characters though… no one gets me more fired up than that waste of a human Milton Bradley. Yeah, Milton, I said it. So what?
I want to first curse Mother Nature for ruining a perfectly good Rays/Phillies match-up today and sending some of the Phillies faithful home from Port Charlotte unhappy who did not see the postponement notice online or in their local news blurps today.
Only good thing is that it gives some of the walking wounded around MLB (at least in Fl) another day's rest and chance to heal.
Rainy days sometimes makes do things like scan the internet for baseball news, but tomorrow the weather reports looks bright,sunny with highs in the low 70's….Florida weather once again!
Rays Renegade
I'm with you lets get on with it already….. love your review of the week…. be careful though I got hate mail picking on Reyes and then A-Rod in posts…. although I am considering another on Reyes, since I found out that the possible symptoms he is showing can be a result of taking HGH… and takes 4 to 8 weeks to get out of your system… interesting, i am sure the Mets doc's know all this hence his delay in season starting….
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Apparently, Jeter thinks his flu was really food poisoning. I sure hope I don't eat at the same restaurant in Tampa that he did!
Jeff – Agree about Milton…yuck.
Cliff – Hope the sun comes out for ya!
Peter – Some people have no sense of humor…I ignore them :O) Besides, if these players were all model citizens, we'd have little to entertain ourselves with…LOL
Jane – Avoid sushi…that is always my motto. ;O) Hope Jeter gets better soon! Luv him :O)
Really disappointed in Torii Hunter's comments. He came off like an idiot. Just like Mr. Milton Bradley and the junk he's been saying about the Cubbies. It was nice to laugh about it, though. Nice jokes!
Your posts are always entertaining. Thanks for the laughs. I can't believe Tori Hunter said those thigs. Bradley? Well, we know better with him. I am counting the days till Opening Day at Dodger Stadium. The wait is going to be longer since they open in Pittsburgh first.

Busch Stadium 6-4-2010
So Fridays game, right? It was very frusterating. But Busch stadium looked very elegant on a warm sunny day. Check out this cool picture I took.
Thats more or less the view you get from the freeway that runs right by Busch Stadium. Its actually kind of cool how close the stadium is to the freeway. Theyre doing a lot of work on the bridge right now because its said to be the most unsafe bridge in Saint Louis right now.
Here is a picture of the players entrance. Most of the opposing team players get carted in from the hotel, and they use this entrance. Ive never seen any player actually stop while on the cart to sign autographs. So if you are able to get one to stop email me or leave a comment on how you got the players to stop, and sign. The usually ride right on through.
Here is a picture of the walkway towards the third base gates from the home plate gates. The gates I usually enter are the third base gates. Its the easiest, and the fasted Ive found to the field level. Most people use the left field gates or the home plate gates.
So once I was inside I felt like I should have played dead center field bleachers for Prince Fielder. After all that guy has been hitting home runs in major league stadiums since he was 13 years old. I decided to stay put on the third base side. I did play back a few rows to catch any direct line drives. I felt pretty confident but when those baseballs come in fast theyre already on the curve. So when they bounce they fly way right. I missed two by mis-judging them. But that was okay.
Trevor Hoffman was pretty friendly as he chilled in the shade in deep left field. He tossed about eight baseballs into the stands. I called to him on multiple occasions but he didnt pay me any attention. I stood my ground on the third base side, and eventually my luck struck. I wasnt sure who hit that, and by mistake I ended up asking a Cubs fan who was at bat all the while wearing a Brewers hat. I could only laugh at myself.
The ball somehow was able to make its way passed four peoples attempts to get it, and I held my glove down, and it slapped me right in the pocket. I felt lucky. I dont have much luck at Busch Stadium. In fact I hate shagging baseballs at this stadium. The competition is high, and I never really have a breakout game. I usually come away with two if Im lucky. The players dont come out with baseballs anymore to warm up before the game anymore. I dont know why. The Reds didnt do it, and the Brewers didnt do it Fridays game either. The Cardinals did on the other side though.
As the game progressed I played the first base side for foul balls. I should have stayed over there the entire game. I would have caught at least two. One from Holliday, and the other from Pujols. They both fouled one baseball each over to the entrance way to the first base side. But I was busy waiting on a third out toss up from Prince Fielder, and during Pujols foul ball I was setting up for the umpire ball.
I also learned that these white seats you see at the bottom of the picture are wheel chair seating area. Anyone is allowed to buy tickets for this area. It isnt a requirement that you have someone with you in a wheel chair, or you be in one too. Also, from where I took this picture there is a yellow outline where you can stand. They actually sell standing room only tickets. The security guard asked me if I had a standing room only ticket, and I quickly said I did to avoid any arguement. If she asked for my ticket I would have told her my wife had it. Always one step ahead of these guards. She didnt ask though.
After the game I set up for the umpire baseball. I scooted passed some fans that were sitting in the front row. Actually the only two fans that were sitting there, and when the umpire came I asked him a ball. He overthrew me like crazy! The ball actually sailed over my right shoulder, and since Im left handed with the glove I tried to basket catch the ball but it was too late. Some lady caught it. And she said this;
" Wow! I caught a ball! I didnt know the umpires threw baseballs into the crowd!"
Ugh. Yeah. They do.
So I tried to make it to the dugout for the bullpen guys. I was blocked in by 42,000 fans. It was Fireworks Friday, and where I stood was the closest Id get to the dugout unless I pardoned myself about 50,000 times. It wasnt worth it. The front row of the dugout was blocked anyway. One ball.

Wayne, good job on not giving in. Situations like that are why I carry a decoy baseball with me; A baseball that's badly beaten or has no significance to me… one an usher gave me our I found. I hand those out like crazy. But for real, parents who bring children to the baseball game and bring them that close to the field without a glove are negligent. Kids can get seriously hurt or killed even by line drives or deep home runs. Bring a friggin' glove to protect your kid (and catch baseballs thrown "to them") or don't bring your kid that close to the field. End of story. One more question… why don't you hawk in the bleachers?
SHAWN- excellent idea. I in fact have a ROLB baseball in my car that is so beat up it looks just like a MLB ball. I suppose I need to start carrying that with me.
Since this is my first official season of actual ballhawking Im taking the time to get a feel for each stadium I visit, and Im learning every players tendencies to maximize the amount of baseballs I get. For example; At Kauffman Stadium Alex Rios, and Andruw Jones hit very deep in left field during BP. So the next time I visit Kauffman when Chicago is in town Ill know exactly where to stand instead of guessing.
Im also a creature of habit. Lol. I tend to play where Ive had most success which at Busch Stadium is the base lines. Although, I understand that more baseballs reach the bleachers instead of the base lines, and Id probably end up with more balls during BP if I played the bleachers. But then again, Ive snagged four grounders down the line in a matter of minutes a couple times at Busch.
