First endowed criminal justice scholarship
Posted on May 01, 2012
Faculty in the School of Criminal Justice initiated a project to develop an introductory textbook for CJ 101, Justice and Society class. The book would be cost effective for students, introduce them to faculty in the respective chapters and establish a scholarship for future SCJ students.
Faculty agreed that all proceeds, after the cost of printing, would go toward the establishment of the scholarship fund. In the fall of 2011, the book was used in several CJ 101 classes and faculty members were recently notified that the proceeds were enough to endow a scholarship.
"We are extremely proud of this collaborative effort within the School of Criminal Justice," said Terry Fisk, director of the School of Criminal Justice. "These authors put in a lot of time and effort to write their respective chapters and our attainment of the scholarship goal is a celebration of their efforts and their dedication to our students here at Grand Valley."
Fisk said a second edition of the book will be introduced this fall.
Faculty involved in the project are:
Kathleen Bailey, professor
Agnes Baro, former faculty
William Crawley, associate dean of the College of Community and Public Service
Carly Hinlinski-Rosick, assistant professor
Frank Hughes, professor
Brian Johnson, professor
Christopher Kierkus, associate professor
Kristine Mullendore, professor
Jeff Steffel, former faculty
Christine Yalda, associate professor

Gela (ca. 500 BCE)
When: Beginning of the 5th century BC.
Where: Sicily east from Gela, at a depth of 4 to 5 meters
Origin: Probably Greek
Was found by two spear fishermen in 1988, and was excavated by the Italian archaeologist Alice Freschi in only one season.1 Very little has been published about this vessel, although it obviously has much new information to provide.
Construction Features
Approximately 17 meters were preserved, including keel, 17 frames, keelson and hole. The hull is believed to have had a bluff bow and stern.
There is said to be a proper keelson notched over the frames. If so, this is by far the earliest keelson to be recorded.2
This ship was around 18 m long and it had a flat bottom.
The upper surface of the keel was 20 cm wide. The keelson was fragile and irregularly shaped and ended against the first floor at the bow. The upper surface of the frames over the axis was cut to match the keelson shape. Its upper surface had several carved holes. Some of these were clearly for stanchions being possible to say that there were to half decks, fore and aft. The functions of the other are not yet identified.
The frames had sections similar to the ones of the Bon-Porte I wreck but their molded dimensions varied between 10 and 14 cm. Notches had also been opened in the base of the frames to make space for the caulking rolls. The straight section of the central floor is 4 m before the chine.
The futtocks were linked through a diagonal horizontal scarf with a tenon and mortise to assure that they keep in place. Three additional treenails were vertically placed through this joint. From the published drawing it looks like the frames were spaced between 75 as 90 cm. The frames were nailed to the planking, from the outside, with long copper spikes hat were clenched over their upper surface.
The planks were sewn with the same system used in the Bon-Porte I wreck. The triangular cavities were 1.5 cm on a side.
A treenail of square section was found linking keel and keelson in the zone of the mast step. The mast step was 58 cm sided and had one piece of rood in each side, 22 cm molded and with different lengths and sided dimensions (185x15x22 cm & 225x20x22 cm).
Ligature holes in the planks were plugged with dowels/pegs. The dimensions of the dowels are not referred. The pegs were prismatic, 'few' mm in Ø. They were spaced 18 cm. Part of the ligatures was still in place, showing a series of vegetal strings crossed in 'x' over a fibrous roll. Fabric was placed between the lashings and the wood.
It has been estimated that this ship could load around 20 tons of merchandise.

University, Roosevelt, Platte Valley fall at state volleyball tourney
November 14, 2013
Denver — When it came to getting into the semifinals, Valley stepped up its game.
University tried to, but couldn't match up with the Vikings.
The Bulldogs played a match riddled with mistakes Saturday and Valley swept them 3-0 in pool play at the Class 3A State Volleyball Championships at the Denver Coliseum.
No. 7 University (18-9) had trouble in the first set, just like they did Friday, but this time it didn't push their play in the second and third sets. No. 2 Valley was almost perfect so even just one mistake by the Bulldogs put them more behind.
After falling 25-12 in the first and 25-18 in the second, the University players were getting down on themselves after losing a point, which would create more errors.
"As a coach, when you see body language or you just see the demeanor on the court, you get the sense sometimes that they were playing as if it were slipping through their hands," University coach David Smith said. "And what I noticed when we played Valley the first time (this season), I never got that sense. I never felt that way when they were on the court, even when Valley did well."
Sophomore setter Madison Fisher said the Bulldogs did feel somewhat defeated in the third set.
"We obviously knew there was five games and we could come back and win," she said. "We tried and gave it our all, but sometimes just in the end, maybe we just had more mistakes than they did and that's just something that we have to come back next year and just work on … and come back even harder. And, I think we can do it. I know we can."
The Vikings were solid all around and Fisher said they picked University apart. Valley senior Emily Dellenbach, especially, had a good match and forced a lot of points.
"They're a good team and I know that when we played them (earlier this season), Emily Dellenbach did not have a good match," Smith said. "And so I knew that if she had a good match, it was still gonna be a struggle for us.
He added, "I think they have such a good setter. It's not like they pass really well, they really don't. It's just that she's so good, she gets to everything, she makes everybody look good. … Cori (Aafedt) is just good."
Smith said University has another problem that has hurt it a few times throughout the season.
"Our hitters, they just want to be aggressive, aggressive, aggressive," he said. "Their team is, if they need to be aggressive, they will. If they need to tip, they will. If they need to roll shot it, they will. We have to preach that to our kids; they just want to pound, pound, pound and there's a time and place for it."
Even though the Bulldogs had a successful season, Smith said the hard part is knowing that the seniors had to lose like this.
"But looking back, it was a good season," he said. "We pushed Eaton to five (sets), we beat Valley on their home court (and) they hadn't lost since '07. So we find those things that we can look back on and we're young. We have a ton of sophomores and we'll be ready next year."
Fisher agreed and said she'll always be proud to be a University Bulldog.
"I'm always gonna be proud to rep my University shirt," she said. "I wear it everywhere I go, I'm always going to be. I love our team but we just gotta come back stronger."
Roosevelt loses to top seed
The Roosevelt Rough Riders were swept by Lewis Palmer on Saturday, falling 25-8, 25-23, 25-19 in the second round of 4A pool play to close out their season.
Coach Lindsey Brown said Lewis Palmer is a very good team that has no weaknesses, but Roosevelt responded well after a low-scoring first set.
"We played solid defense and got even better as the match went on after we adjusted to the pace of the match," she said. "We competed very well in games 2 and 3."
She added that the Rough Riders (19-8) should be proud of being regional champions and taking fifth at state.
"We have had a great season and this team should be very proud of the accomplishments that were made this season," Brown said. "This team has improved so much since the beginning of the year and that is because this group worked so hard day in and day out."
On Friday, Roosevelt swept Coronado 25-21, 25-20, 25-17 in Pool I to finish with a 1-1 record at state.
Platte Valley falls in 3 sets
The Platte Valley Broncos finished their season Saturday after a three-set loss against Holy Family in 3A volleyball pool play with scores of 25-15, 25-20, 25-17.
Platte Valley's (19-8) leader in kills, senior Mikayla Hoffman, had just seven in the match along with two blocks. Junior Terra Seyler posted 22 assists, two aces and 14 digs for the Broncos.
On Friday, Platte Valley had swept Coal Ridge in the first round of Pool IV play with scores of 25-21, 25-15, 25-13. Holy Family was 2-0 in the pool to advance to semifinals since Platte Valley went 1-1 and Coal Ridge was 0-2.

Coosa Country Club
Rome, Georgia
August 2-5, 2004
Lawrenceville native Kim leads Girls Division
ROME, Ga. â Seventeen-year-old Ryne Fisher of Clarksville, Tenn., holds a 1-shot lead after finishing the first round of the Burgett H. Mooney, Jr. Rome Classic with a stellar 6-under-par 64. Knoxville, Tennessee natives David Holmes and Bud Reynolds carded 65 and 66 respectively and sit only one stroke apart entering Wednesdayâs second round. Currently holding the lead in the Girls Division after day one is Joy Kim of Lawrenceville, Ga., at 2-under-par 70.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Burgett H. Mooney, Jr. Rome Classic features 99 players, 75 boys and 24 girls, ages 13-18 from 12 states. Forty-seven juniors hail from the host state of Georgia. The 54-hole stroke play event is in its ninth year at Coosa Country Club. While the Boys Division par is 70, the Girls Division par for the course is 72.
Even bogeys on Nos. 10 and 13 couldnât keep Fisher out of the lead after Tuesdayâs first round. During his solid front nine, Fisher made three birdies en route to a 32 at the turn. The rising senior ended the day with five birdies on the back nine to finish at 32-32â64.
âI went into the round knowing that I would have to shoot low on this course to do well,â Fisher said. âIt just got me in good shape and I didnât have to press hard to stay low. I was able to really go for the flagsticks and make the birdies that I needed.â
After carding an impressive 35-30â65, Holmes is one shot off the lead. The round started off with nine pars on the front and picked up dramatically with five birdies on the back. He credits this low round to a series of lucky saves on the front nine.
âI was really lucky to have some good par saves after missing some greens on the front,â the Knoxville native said. âI just started hitting the ball better at the turn and my putter got pretty hot. I gave myself a 15-foot birdie putt on every hole on the back.â
Holmesâ high school teammate and fellow Knoxville resident Bud Reynolds currently sits alone in third place after finishing with a 4-under-par 66.
âWe are all pretty good friends out here and get to play together a lot,â Reynoldsâ teammate Fisher said about the other leaders. âItâs not like it is in most sports because we really like to see each other do well out here.â
Rounding out the Boys Division leaderboard after day one are Austin Weathington of Alpharetta, Ga., and Samuel Kim of Cerritos, Calif., who carded matching 67s.
Joy Kim takes a three shot lead into round two after firing four birdies in her round on Tuesday. Kim was 1-under-par on both sides with a 35-35â70. Kim attributes being the only Girls Division participant under par to a recent swing change.
âI gained ten or twenty yards on my drive before I came to this tournament,â the 14-year-old Kim said. âIâm able to hit nine irons or eight irons into the green now instead of hitting longer irons.â
Tied in second place after shooting first-round 73s are Georgia natives Alina Lee of Evans, Jennifer Adyorough of Atlanta, and Rebecca Durham of St. Simons Island and Christa Cloutier of Niceville, Fla.

Final Four! Shoni Schimmel Surges, Louisville Knocks Off Tennessee and Advances to the Semifinals
Unstoppable? Shoni Schimmel scored 24 points and the soaring Louisville Cardinals beat second-seeded Tennessee 86-78 last night to earn the school's second trip to the Final Four, continuing a captivating postseason run.
The Cardinals became only the second No. 5 seed to reach the national semifinals, joining Southwest Missouri State's 2001 team that featured guard Jackie Stiles, the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history. (It should be highlighted that the U of L knocked off Baylor, featuring Brittney Griner, second to only Stiles all-time in NCAA scoring, this year to advance to the Elite Eight.) Only seven teams outside of the top four seeds have ever made it to the Final Four since the NCAA tournament started in 1982.
No team seeded higher than fourth has ever won a game at the Final Four. But the seemingly impossible hasn't stopped this group of Cardinals yet.
First, they took down Griner and her Baylor team that had lost just once in 75 games. Then, last night, it was the eight-time national champion Lady Volunteers. Next up is a Sunday showdown in New Orleans against California, the Spokane regional champion.
"No one wanted to see us beat Baylor and Tennessee and we did both of those, and now we're going to the Final Four," Schimmel told ESPN, after being named the Oklahoma City Region's Most Valuable Player.
Before the game, Cardinals coach Jeff Walz showed the team the documentary on Valvano's North Carolina State 1983 team that made perhaps the most notable Cinderella run to the men's championship.
"Seeing a lot of the underdog things like that, it just motivated us even more to believe in each other and believe in ourselves," said Shoni's younger sister, Jude, who scored 15 points. Jude, just a sophmore, is the team's super sixth-woman, coming off the bench to contribute in big ways. In addition to her 15 points, she had 4 rebounds, 3 assists and two blocks.
The Schimmel sisters are from the Umatilla Reservation in Oregon, and their phenomenal play, leading Louisville to the Final Four, is captivating Indian country. They'll need to move past the euphoria, though, and ready to meet mighty Cal, who've lost only three games this year, on Sunday. Game time is scheduled for 6:30 pm/ET and will air on ESPN (check your local listings).

The official STAT Needle Thru Arm! Featuring the same high-quality STAT brand Capillary Blood Needles from the STAT Bleeding Needles First-Aid Kit. Each needle is handcrafted from corrosion resistant medical-grade stainless steel, the same kind used to make nuclear reactors. And seasoned Needle Thru Arm performers will appreciate our new-style screw-off bulb!
A trick that's guaranteed to freak them out!
You roll back your sleeve, and start talking about things like "pain thresholds," "surgical procedures," "incisions," "puncture wounds," and other grisly subjects. What might you be up to? Then, from the table, the spectators see a gleaming, 8-inch-long needle, glinting in the stage light. "This," the you say, "is a replica of a traditional voodoo needle, used for the old pin-in-doll routine you've probably heard about. Stick a pin in a doll that looks like your enemy, and supposedly, you'd hurt them at the exact spot the pin was inserted."
Setting the needle back on the table, clean your arm with a towel, and hold it up for all to see. Then, picking up the needle, you plunge it into the bare flesh of your forearm! There is no hiding it - the needle has been thrust through the flesh, plain and simple. The cold, hard steel is run back and forth through the wound, which begins to bleed. The spectators let out a collective "Eeeewwww!" Surprisingly, none of this seems to bother you, continuing to patter about "mind over matter."
Indeed, even though the blood continues to flow down his arm at a steady rate, you are unconcerned by the situation. The needle is slowly and deliberately removed from the arm in full view of the audience. A sterile towel is used to clean off the blood. Amazingly, the arm is unharmed. Perhaps, despite the pseudo-scientific lecture and the amazingly realistic nature of the demonstration, it was just another cunning dodge - a trick of the imagination, perhaps.
The trick is supplied as a complete kit, and is ready to work right out of the box. Each Needle Through Arm kit includes: One precision-made needle, specially formulated stage blood, the "special something" that makes the trick work, and instructions.

It worked for me in Lancaster and Harrisburg PA.

2. Click "Find a dealer" on the top right of the page.
3. On the map page it brings you to put in your zip code and it will display VW dealers in your area. Click on one of them and click on the link that says "more dealer info".
4. On the page it brings you to click on the "View dealer website" link. That will bring you to the homepage of that specific dealer.
5. On the tabs at the top of the page click "New Cars".
6. On that page browse around a little and a popup should come up with the offer. For me it was instant, but maybe it might not be instant for all dealers, not sure. If it's still not working try with ad-block disabled, although mine was enabled and I still got it to come up.

Businesses have always had to predict and manage risks. Those risks include the potential impact of extreme weather [2] such as floods, storms and drought on a company's supply chain, power supply, and property.
But now companies must find a way to factor in the "instability ingredient [3]" -- climate change -- which is likely to make weather more unpredictable, extreme -- and costly -- in the future.
For example, farms, automotive and electronics plants in Thailand were devastated in 2011 in the worst flooding in half a century. Insurers estimated [4] total costs of the floods at up to $20 billion. For one company, Intel, the floods interrupted the supply [5] of hard drives, reducing revenues by about $1 billion and driving up hard-drive prices [6] 28 percent in one quarter. Those prices aren't expected to fall to pre-flood levels until 2014.
Individual companies' losses are just one part of the multibillion-dollar costs [7] of extreme weather events such as Hurricanes Sandy and Irene, historic flooding and drought, and record heat waves.
At a recent C2ES workshop [8], business leaders shared examples of emerging strategies to address these risks and avoid the costliest effects of climate change.
Most large companies have developed business continuity plans and emergency preparedness responses to deal with extreme weather events. Some leading companies are going beyond examining these risks based only on past weather events and are focusing on what the "new normal" of extreme weather is projected to become.
These companies are supplementing publicly available information with their own studies, exploring the impacts in a particular region, around a particular facility, or in a key market. The Hartford [9] insurance company is supplementing its own extensive historical records of disasters and damages with data from associations like the Insurance Information Institute. Entergy commissioned a study [10] of impacts for its service territory and both Entergy and Rio Tinto are partnering [11] with universities and stakeholders to better understand local impacts, develop capacity, and ultimately build greater business resilience to impacts.
But many companies are challenged by the lack of information at the regional and local level about changes in climate parameters that directly affect their businesses. More localized pictures of the impacts of a changing climate are still being developed. The cost-effectiveness of different measures to build resilience and adapt to those changes is still being evaluated. Analytical tools are needed to incorporate this information into facility-level decision-making.
For companies already experiencing the impacts of extreme weather events that are predicted to become more frequent with rising sea level and rising global temperatures, these uncertainties are a driver for developing business approaches to better manage risks and enhance resilience.

Pray for surf. That's what organizers and participants of this year's Duke's OceanFest have been doing for several days now.
They say waves are just big enough to surf, but could be bigger.
Then again, conditions could be worse.
Some of the world's best surfers are in Waikiki right now for the 12th Annual Duke's OceanFest.
But there's been one big no-show at Kuhio Beach Park, the waves.
"For sure, it's been one of the worst seasons, as far as surf is considered," said world champion surfer Dino Miranda. "We had a good start for this summer, but then it just kind of didn't last as long as we thought it was going to be. But usually, that's just the contest blues."
On Wednesday, the surf was not big enough to pull off a world record attempt of 16 tandem surfers at one time.
"It was gnarly," Bear Woznick, a world champion surfer, said. "It was like, I felt like Custer leading everyone into the last charge, you know? There was no waves."
Surf could be worse though.
Duke's OceanFest Co-Chair Jim Fulton said, "I saw a couple other surf spots and there wasn't much activity. But there was clearly surf here all day long, and so I really think that as like in the past 12 years, Duke kind of always looks out for us."
It seems like everyone at the festival is thanking Duke, regardless of surf.
"You know, you can't surf without waves," Woznick said. "But the thing is, I had pain in my cheeks from laughing so much. We were out there for an hour just having a blast and that's what the Duke taught us to do, right? Just enjoy life and enjoy the fellowship of each other. Yeah, we had a blast out there."
"Surfers are optimistic," said Fulton. "They live to surf and so, we're hearing that there's a bump. We hope that duke shines on us and we'll have surf."
Duke's OceanFest runs through Sunday at various locations in Waikiki. The annual 9-day festival honors Hawaii's legendary waterman Duke Kahanamoku.

because the knicks really, really suck.
Why do all the no name scrubs have career days against the knicks!!!!LIke Arron brooks last night? Bruce Bowen doubles his avg ppg in game against knicks(not scrub, but not offensive juggernaut)Because this Knick team has no pride, they blow. Lets go Knicks, time to move forward and make some changes!!!! Gibbs, from clevland goes off on us in opener, You could probably go through a list of guys who just have career nights agaiinst KNICKS, You know why, because even though the Knicks players don't get excited to be playing in NY, the basket ball mecca, everyone else still does!!! Everyone knows this is the big stage, NY. But this Knicks team is a joke!!!!
I don't want to not be knicks fan anymore, but i feel the only way to scare the DOLANS into doing something is if knicks fans say they would root for the Brooklyn nets instead. Make them feel they have to do something to keep the fans. Because right now it seems like they don't care!!! DOlan is a million dollar spoiled brat, with his head up his ass and he needs to be humbled somehow. Something needs to be done to turn us around, it is clear to everyone(Media, NBA execs, fans and nba players...ect) except dolan.
Let's...Go...Lottery! Let's...Go...Lottery!!! Say it with me Knicks fans!
because the knicks really, really suck.
Thanks, thats was my point. This knick team stinks and the fans need to send message to managment that after years of sub par performance, people will look elsewhere for their basketball needs. I would never not be a knick fan but I can say I won't even buy a ticket to a brooklyn nets game and bring the tickets to a fire isiah protest at garden. If any of those guys who were on the news said I can't wait for the brooklyn nets to bring good basketball back to NY, that may have an effect on dolan.
Let's...Go...Lottery! Let's...Go...Lottery!!! Say it with me Knicks fans!
This is a good question that is very easy to answer. The reason why the Knicks allow no name scrubs to destroy them and put the Knicks in the dirt is because the defense of the Knicks is equivalent to one of a High School Junior Varsity team.And since we have no shot blockers at sf,pf, or center, there is nothing we can do to stop players like John Salmons and Rafer Alston from running down the lane and laying it up on the Knicks' face.
Defense is the key. Defense is what wins games. No Defense.. Then other players Sh!t on you. THats it. Thats the reason why Bonner, Johnson, etc. have good games against a poor defensive team like the Knicks.
lol i was just thinkin the same thing its amazing over the past couple of seasons how many no names makes ever 3 against the knicks.
the Knicks never have a balanced attack... we always focus only on the stars and let everyone else on the other team get free lanes to the basket and open shots... look at last game against the Rockets.. Yao was the leader in assists because of weak side help that forgot all about their own man standing wide open right under the basket.
word...man nowone in the knicks can stay in front of there man...but Q rich and marbury
I usually would concur with this statement however Brooks is not a scrub. I used to watch him at Oregon and he's an EXPLOSIVE scorer who has a very bright nba future because there's not a guy in the league that can stay in front of him.
Gms, coaches, players may change but as long as Dolan is in charge the results will stay the same.
If you make the National Basketball Association, you're not a scrub.
Jzero, great question.
However, I answered that question after the Knicks 11th game this season when the "NO-D Knicks" coaching-staff sat on the bench without moving or saying a word to any of the Knick-Players on their third Blow-Out, where it looked like every Knick oposition coach gave the GREEN-LIGHT to all 12 players on the roster.
That is when I had to add the Knicks Coaching Staff and Head Coach Isiah is not on the same page or need to be Fired just as well as Isiah.
To find the truth of this matter Isiah should pass on the Head Coaching Job to Herb Williams with Mark Aquire as the assistant coach. This way Herb Williams & Mark Aquire coaching career become in jeopardy.

Phillies Win A Close One
Lidge saved a game? Whew! Please excuse my sarcasm…Brad Lidge, who has been just awful this year, saved a very close game tonight. With 2 men on base, Lidge got the final batter out on a long fly ball to left field. Another nail biter, but the 3-2 win over the Braves is ultimately what counts.
Shane Victorino had an interesting game as well. While Victorino only had 1 hit in the game and popped up with 1 out and a man on third, he made up for offensive outage with 2 amazing catches in deep centerfield. On the first one, he jumped in the air and shot backwards into the outfield wall as he saved an extra base hit. The second one was equally impressive as he caught the ball behind him while running at full speed. Nice job Shane! Those two grabs absolutely saved the game for the Phillies.
The only real offense in the game was a 2-run homer from Chase Utley in the 4th inning to tie the game up. After that, things got eerily quiet for a long time. But Ryan Howard broke the silence, and the tie, with a solo home run to lead off the 8th inning. That turned out to be all the Phillies needed.
But the pitching was the real story; Joe Blanton continues to amaze as he went 7 strong innings with only 1 earned run allowed. The other run was unearned after a Pedro Feliz error at third base, his 11th error of the year. Ryan Madson pitched the 8th and only needed 6 pitches to silence the Braves. And you already know how Lidge did.
But frankly, Lidge is still a BIG concern for this team. He cannot get through an inning without base runners and without getting hit hard. He got out of it tonight, but again, it was not pretty. With 7 blown saves on the season and the highest ERA among NL closers, Lidge makes everyone's tummy turn.
But all is well that ends well and this one did just that. The Phillies have a huge opportunity here to BURY the Braves and end their season if they can get at least 2 out of 3 in this series. The battle continues tomorrow at 4:00pm. Go Phillies!

Looks like Victorino had quite a series. Between great catches, a few hits, and betting beer basted, he had an eventful time at Wrigley. And he dominated the Cubs. Darn!
What a nice picture you took. Maybe it's time for another closer unless Lidge straightens out. You need a more dependable one for playoffs.
Too many closers this season are driving their fans to drink! Even Papelbon is making things way to interesting for Red Sox fans!
Lidge definately needs to stop making it so adventurous, and what about Howard, 2 days in a row… awesome…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Lidge saved a game? He did? LIDGE? Wow…
I see Chase and Shane are doing well as usual. Gotta love those two!

Ernie Harwell: "He Took His Cut, and Now He Takes His Seat"
It's easy to explain what Ernie Harwell meant to the everyday working man.
Ernie Harwell was the everyday working man.
He was also the guy who'd pull over and help you change your tire.
The type of gentleman you'd want to have stand up at your wedding… for those of you who get married and stuff like that.
Ernie Harwell was many things to many people, but no one can deny that Ernie Harwell was baseball.
Rest in peace, brother. Rest in peace.
15 Comments
When I was 8, a guy painting my house taught me how to tune into games on the radio at night. Ernie has been welcome on my radio since 1975. My complete post on Mr. Harwell is on my blogspot. A couple of old-timers were in the coffee shop talking about Ernie this afternoon,- bout how he called games for the Brooklyn Dodgers too.
Good Night Mr. Howell.
As someone who has ventured into the broadcast booth a time or two myself I have great appreciation for what Ernie Harwell did for the game of baseball. He is a legend.
"The South Side Story"
Mike — He was traded for a catcher. I love that story.
Matt — No doubt about that.
So sorry to hear about Harwell. My condolences to all Tigers fans, baseball fans and, of course, his family and friends. Sounds like he was quite a man.
Emma — I was able to catch that part of the Dodgers came too. Great story.
Jane — Indeed he was.
What a loss. Prayers for his family. It is interesting that he was part of a trade!!! And Vinny took his place as announcer. His passing was acknowledged at the Dodger game. In fact there was a moment of silence.
I didn't know who he was, but I can understand how it would hurt. I would feel the same way if Milo Hamilton, the long time voice of the Astros, passed away.
Sad loss, he touched a number of teams from the Brooklyn Dodgers to the Tigers and many commentators will all have a story to tell of how he helped them….
Tip of the cap to Ernie Harwell. Baseball has lost another legend. Rest in peace. Take care.
My condolences to the Harwell family, Tigers fans and all baseball fans in general who had the chance to hear his voice calling a baseball game. At the time I didn't know it, but I was in the stands when Mr. Harwell broadcast his last game for the Tigers in 2002 (they were in Toronto facing the Blue Jays the last weekend of the season – please, if I'm wrong about this fact, someone correct me). I only heard his broadcasts a few times, but he was without peer. RIP Ernie Harwell.
I didn't know him that well nor did I listen to his broadcastings but I cried along with many others anyways. I'm sorry for the loss. In fact the game of baseball is sorry for the loss. He will be missed by many for sure! What a great outpouring of love and support. That must feel great for the family🙂
From what I heard he was a true gentleman and had such a love for the game. I love listening/reading to his hall of fame induction speech. It's truly stunning stuff🙂
Ernie was awesome. He will be missed. We played his interview on MLB Network while on our trip in honor of him.

Out of stock items are built on demand. You buy it, we build it. Ships within 5 days.
In stock orders ship same day if received by 4:00 PM Mountain Standard Time!
The Roadster Mini Rucksack is the scaled-down version of the classic Airborne Military Style Rucksack (like our C-Ruck). All the same great features, only smaller (narrower by two inches). Load up the Mini Ruck Rucksack for a day of shopping or hiking on the trail in the mountains.
You want pockets? The Roadster Rucksack has handy exterior zippered raised pockets (6"W x 7"H x 2"D on the front and 12"H x 6"W x 2"D on each side) to give you plenty of room and keep your belongings organized.
In the spacious main top-loading compartment you could pack your plentiful picnic, the raised side pockets holding your wine, spirits or soda bottles and glasses and the front pocket your cheese, appetizers or dessert and the top flap pocket your silverware. Attach your blanket with the buckled loop compression straps on the bottom.
This durable CORDURA® Nylon Rucksack has an interior slip pocket that holds your Notebook laptop safe against the thick interior Volara back padding. After a great day at the market, tighten down the second drawstring at the top of the rucksack (10" x 6" x 4") and safely tote all your goodies home.
The Mini features upgraded durable Synergy Performer Suede padded articulating shoulder straps for carrying comfort. Using articulating straps makes it easier to put on, and take off, your Mini Rucksack. Then you can easily cinch down the straps using the tough Mil-Spec A.L.I.C.E. hardware.
Heavy-duty compression straps on bottom of the Mini Rucksack store your jacket, blanket or bedroll out of the way. When a full-sized Military style Rucksack is too big, or if you are lean in frame and build, try the Red Oxx Roadster Mini Rucksack.
Our customers like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around rucksacks that weigh 50 tons and have three inches of armor plate, still the comparison is valid. For a rucksack, they are built tough. Starting with the most durable soft textile material available, 1000 weight CORDURA® nylon, we use super strong UV resistant thread that's stitched into every seam.
Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound, that is, we take a long piece of one inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the bag, or gives it a clean finished look if on the outside of the ruck.
In addition, each exposed fabric edge, such as on a pocket flap, is also bound using a thicker binding material. Inside edges typically receive a thinner nylon webbing, whereas outside corner edges that are exposed to wear will have a thicker nylon binding. All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in competitors rucksacks that brag of "binding" their edges.
Each stress point, such as where the shoulder straps attach to the bag, is double box stitched - which is where we get the "double xx" in our name, Red Oxx; a stitching practice we adapted from our time as parachute riggers.
The reason Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can afford, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
Red Oxx has occasionally been accused of "overdoing" our hardware. But once you've had a cheap piece of plastic hardware break in the middle of a busy intersection, airport, hiking a trail or other inconvenient locale dumping your precious belongings all over the ground, having a heavy-duty nickel-plated or stainless steel D ring or attachment swivel that weighs just a little more, or might make a little noise, is a travel companion's confidence builder and peace of mind maker. After all, you want to enjoy your journey as best you can. When you're on the go, a Rucksack that won't breakdown is one less worry. Rugged, reliable and tough.

Mini Rucksack Trivia:
Rucksack is German for Backpack. Der Rücken refers to the back part of the body and translates as "to move". Sack means "pack". To move a pack. Surprising similarities exist in other European languages such as Rucksack is Rygsæk in Danish, Rugzak in Dutch, Ryggsäck in Swedish, Ryggsekk in Norwegian, and Rugsak in South Afrikaans. A Ruck Sack is also commonly called a Haversack, Knapsack or Packsack.
Roadster Mini Ruck Rucksack is a Red Oxx "Staff Pick" favorite.
Roadster Mini Ruck Sack Color Translator
Keep in mind: Colors on your monitor will vary from the actual color of the fabric. The only way to accurately gauge a color is to request a swatch.

- On the first day of class, explain why the university values learning communities and what educational goals they serve.
Even with good advising and prior experience, students may not understand the concept and requirements of their learning community, and their resentment can sabotage their own and others' experiences in the course. Students trust the approach and value the integration more when they understand that both/all faculty are committed to a powerful integrated learning experience.
- Explain learning community theory in class and in the syllabus.
Students appreciate learning about interdisciplinary, collaborative study goals. Even students who have enrolled in learning communities may not understand that they are defined by integrated and active learning and are based on student-to-student, teacher-to-teacher, and student-to-teacher interactions. The emphasis on co-creation of knowledge, active learning, and a search for interdisciplinary links will be challenging for students whose prior experience only includes lecture. Explaining this early in the term helps student learning and attitudes. Sharing this duty between instructors reinforces the integrative nature of learning communities.
- Explain - in class and in the syllabus - how your particular learning community will operate.
You need to tell your students - both in speech and in writing - what they want to know: whether time is needed to cover basics of the disciplines before interdisciplinary connections are explored; whether you and other members of the instructor team combined grades or shared assignments and why; how assignments connect to course and learning community objectives; how you coordinate roles and responsibilities. If you use a specific approach - e.g., guided design or problem-centered learning - students appreciate an introduction to what that approach is and what it means for their confusion and resentment. Because each instructor team determines what works best for them, it is critical to communicate to students why and how your learning community is structured.
- Review learning community goals.
By mid-semester, students have forgotten day one. Their work and test load might be far less or better spaced than for separate courses, but they often perceive their learning community as a single class, with massive requirements. Therefore, you might find it helpful at mid-semester to discuss the following with your students: course goals, the rhythms of learning communities, ambiguity about concepts, the perceived "chaos" of active learning or collaborative projects, etc.
- Explain connections between courses.
If course assignments do not connect, students will know that their learning community is "bogus." Ensure that course work directly relates to the objectives of both courses. Students may need help in understanding some connections. Periodic checks - classroom research or discussions - or collaboration on projects, writing, seminars, and presentations helps students feel that the faculty in both disciplines value the link between their disciplines and the students' learning of this link.
- Demonstrate deep respect for your fellow instructors, and for their fields and expertise.
Feeling respected is a crucial part of faculty satisfaction. Seeing respect demonstrated between instructors is important for students as well.
- Collaborate, collaborate, collaborate.
Students appreciate the chance to hear diverse viewpoints explained and explored, and to see their instructors model flexibility, close collaboration, communication, and academic inquiry. On the flip side, students resent the absence or perceived absence of communication between instructors, as well as any sense that collaboration is haphazard (i.e., too late or at the expense or valued classroom time). Collaborate early and often with your fellow instructors. If you confer with each other in class, communicate to your students how this strategy affects their learning.

No, I don't like dreams.
If it happened. yes.
Hmm, not sure how these moves will help us achieve MDA's goal of shattering the all-time record for 3-pointers attempted. Not made, just attempted.
No question. Don't even have to think about it.
It's never gonna happen though.
Oh and @ Crazy8s: What has Stoudemire done that you love him so much? Everytime somebody dares to say something not positive on STAT you're going beserk bro!
We're talking about Amar'e ****ing Stoudemire, not Clyde Frazier!
Because I watched him play last season.
I'm reactionary, it's true, but I'm not going to sell out on STAT entirely.
Also, these trade scenarios are pointless. That's what I was going after.
If, as in your case, fans of a team or its players go for full mutiny after a couple of poor performances, that's when I get defensive of him (or whoever) because it's stupid.
You seem to forget about all those turnovers and stupid plays he made last season, like dribbling into a crowd only to lose the ball.
He is a good scorer, given the right point guard, but that's about it.
A cancer to any team's defense and a subpar rebounder.
I know he had those 9 straight 30+ point games last season, but he also had 11 turnovers in a game and several games with 7 or 8 turnovers...he also didn't play any defense last season and more often than not left the court without a double double.
I'd rather have Larry Johnson back at the PF.
Statosphere reminds me of another foward we once had, you know the one who was afraid to dunk the ball in the closing seconds of 1993 game 5 ECF.
his best days are behind him, in 2 seasons hes had two injuries thats kept him on sideline, how the hell do you claim to amass more muscle even grown an inch during lockout then screw up your ankle, damn even Glen Baby Davis has played in all his games so far
image courtesy amareisreal
The way STAT played against GS I would trade him straight up for anybody..
I would trade Carmelo Anthony before Amar'e Stoudemire. Anthony is too much of an isolation player. There's a reason why Anthony has only been passed the first round of the playoffs once.

I guess I'm nostalgic lately. I remember this was the first metalcore album I listened to.
I've been playing "The End Of Heartache" nonstop lately and remembering that time when I was like 17 or 18. Either way, this is a great song and great album and it allowed me to discover other things.

I also have good memories of this record. I'm sure If I heard it today for the first time it would get a very different score. but you can't fight nostalgia.

|These nerf bars look great. The installation was fairly easy, but be sure to pay close attention to the directions for installing the bracket bolts to the body by the doors.. If the bolts fall inside the body, it may take considerable time and effort to get them back out! I spent about 2 hours installing them, including the time spent retrieving a bolt that slipped down inside the body. The dealer wanted $400 for the nerf bars and 2 hours of labor, times 2 for 2 mechanics, at $200/ hr for a total of $1200. I did it myself for less than $300 total, thanks to RealTruck! �???
|These nerf bars are perfect, not expensive, easy installation, very functional. Nice addition to my truck.

A day for giving thanks
Throughout our great land, Thanksgiving is celebrated today. It is a uniquely American holiday, in which the purpose of the occasion has not been subordinated to materialism.
Certainly, in many homes there will be roast turkey, homemade dressing, real mashed potatoes, the traditional cranberry sauce and delectable pumpkin pie. But the very presence of such bounty – even in homes where it is limited – reminds us we have much for which to be thankful to our God.
Our Thanksgiving is traced back to English colonists before this was a United States, during a time when they faced trials and tribulations of a gravity few of us can even imagine. Even then, when survival was a question, our ancestors gave thanks.
Later, when a Thanksgiving proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln set the stage for the official holiday, sorrow and uncertainty were present in many homes. We were in the midst of the most costly, trying time in our history.
Then, as was the case at that earlier, informal Thanksgiving, thoughtful Americans reflected not just on trouble, but also on the blessings that helped them weather the storm.
And they were profoundly grateful for this land of boundless opportunity and beauty – like none other on earth.
As our nation matured, even during bloody times of growth such as the Civil War, it became evident there was more for which to be thankful. As Lincoln pointed out, the people of America had crafted a truly wonderful society, government and economy. Even those in homes where Thanksgiving was celebrated with empty chairs – too often permanently – it was evident to many that Lincoln was right. Our nation – and that means our people, not the land or the government – truly is something very special.
This Thanksgiving, we the people face many, many uncertainties. Too many of our neighbors cannot find work. War continues in Afghanistan and Iraq. Terrorism, both by organizations and rogue states, remains a threat. We worry about the cost and intrusiveness of government.
Yet we can and should thank God for the blessing of being Americans – as well as for the goodness He showers upon us as individuals and families.
Today, then, we bow our heads in humble gratitude.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I feel this is the only place I can come with this question and receive nonjudgmental responses.
I am still nursing my 33 months old son. I thought this summer he might wean because we have been so busy and I don't usually nurse him in public anymore (except the other day at the nail salon where it was either that or not get my nails finished). The days we are busy he is fine too nurse twice a day, but the days we are home and I am trying to get caught up on laundry he wants to nurse for hours. He seems to really be boob obsessed. He tells me how nice I am whenever he nurses the other night he kept switching sides and finally when I explained to him that I didn't have any more milk he go a chair climbed it and pulled a bottle of frozen breast milk out of the freezer. The crazy thing is he hasn't had expressed breastmilk since around one about the same time I stopped pumping so I didn't feel good giving it to him. Then the other day I was dressing in a dressing room and when I took my shirt off he started screaming boobees my boobees ( I know I should have taught him a code word but thats what stuck). The other night we were at a MLB baseball game and stayed til late and he started getting whiney wanting to go home and asking for boobee and since I was surronded by about 25 family members only 2 of which even now I am still breastfeeding I held him off, and eventually he went to sit with my cousin ( which I thought was good) But today a different cousin (male) was over at my house and LO stuck his hand down his shirt and said my boobee laughing. Luckily he's not the easiest to understand and my cousin is only 14 so I don't think he really knew what happened. I kinda thought it was funny. And I really am still enjoying the nursing relationship my son is doing great in every aspect just potty trained super easily. I just am a little worried that he might like the boobee to much. Is this normal, is it just a phase, will he ever wean ( just joking now he will someday)
Oh also if he asks for boobee and I say ok he yells yeah and runs around the room in a victory lap.
Sorry this is so long just wanted you to get a feel for the situation.

A blog about my journey with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome including HHV 6, EBV, C. Pneumonia, Bartonella, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Biotoxin Illness
Wednesday, October 2, 2013
I've received a lot of emails expressing concern so I wanted to write a quick update. I'd like to say I'm feeling great and optimistic but I'm still in a struggle although I'm doing a little better today.
I'm a fighter, resourceful, and determined. Those qualities existed before I got sick and are still there.
I want to thank a group of people on facebook. I've been part of a small closed fb group of women for the past few years. They have circled around me and I am resting in their support, wisdom, and comfort. They don't pathologize me but they get it. I think everyone in the 25% group of M.E. gets it.
I can't begin to express the depth of gratitude I have for these women. Last night from 3 a.m. onward I read and reread their comments to me (and emails) over and over for comfort. I don't know what I would have done had they not stepped up.
The simple act of hearing someone else say "I've been there and I made it through, somehow" has been helpful. One person who I need to thank privately wrote a great list of things to consider before I took any action. Some got my attention.
Hearing people say "I've been there" and "we want you to talk about it and are here for you" AND that they actually care for me has been helpful.
If anyone is at a loss as to what to say when someone is in a dangerous place take notice (I understand, I want to hear your pain, and I care).
One person brought up the fact that birthdays, anniversaries, and the like can trigger things. I want my birthday to be over with. I've been looking at deals to just get out of town for a night or two. Not that I can afford it but the alternative isn't appealing.
But most of all, I do not want pity/obligatory visits on my birthday. I'd rather be alone.
I would have blogged yesterday but I couldn't because things got worse. I have Medicare Part D which is government sponsored drug plan (for lack of better words).
I'm on a lot of medications and need to be on all of them so I don't return to being bedbound. Believe me I've tried reducing, stopping antivirals and antibiotics but start going backwards.
One of my biggest fears has been reaching what's called the coverage gap.
Each month the plan that you signed up for provides a statement letting one know which stage you are in. I think Medicare pays for meds (except for copays) up until about $1700 (best guess). There are 3 stages: Initial coverage which pays up to about $1700 worth of medications (I think).
Once I reach that stage I go into what's called the coverage gap which means that no medications are covered. Everything becomes out of pocket for the next $4000 (I officially do not like republicans-sorry if that offends anyone but they are the reason Medicare keeps getting cut, the fuckers).
I received my statement Monday evening. I've used up over $1100 as of August 31. I will hit the coverage gap this month meaning I'll have to pay for all of my meds out of pocket which is impossible for me.
So I'm starting the process of choosing what meds I most desperately need and will only pay for those.
Yesterday was an intense day as I sat with this new information. Crap. How the hell do I decide which meds to stop until January?
When I look at my list its the expensive ones I need. Lamictal is the most expensive but its also the only antidepressant I can tolerate at this point (it's used off label for treatment resistant depression). Stopping that would not be a good thing. Valtrex and Famvir are the next most expensive. I've tried many times to stop them and its non negotiable. I've said many times that becoming bedbound again is my line in the sand. I will not do it.
Flexeril I need for muscle spasms and there are withdrawals when stopping. Can't stop Clonazepam because of dangerous withdrawals.
The antibiotics will have to go but that's the only thing I can cut out. I need the blood pressure medication but I think that will need to go also.
What makes me most nervous is that this is going to take place during my normally most worst months physically (and emotionally).
I can get one more month of Valtrex and maybe a month with Famvir and then its done so I'm having my freakout.
My back is in bad shape. I've also been having leg weakness in both legs that I thought was toxin related but its not so I emailed the neurosurgeon letting him know what's going on. The reason I know its not toxin related is because I notice the weakness every time I bend over to pick something up.
I ran out of Advil yesterday but was unable to go to the store to get more. Today I was able to but it flared up the pain.
I'll write an email to my M.E. doctor tomorrow asking about any alternatives.
My mind hasn't been in the greatest shape and I lost the key to the mailbox. I'll probably get the silent treatment for awhile but that's the least of my problems right now.
Basically I'm fighting with everything I have left. And I have support. And I have therapy tomorrow if my back will let me.
Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Pardon grammatical errors and typos.

God you're in a tough place :( Being in the U.K. we don't have quite the same problems re. access to drugs because of the NHS. On the other hand, many of the drugs you take are just not available to us.

Me too. Still here, still listening.
Can't imagine having to choose which of the critically important meds I have to drop. The NHS has it's problems but the drugs bill is my Dr's problem not mine.
I hope you make it to therapy ok.

Glad to hear that you are feeling just a little bit better and that the support is helping. We really do all care for you!!
I can't imagine the meds challenges. We have very good insurance and are able to pay our portion (both thanks to my husband's job). Every spare cent each year goes to medical expenses - it's tight, but I am so grateful that we are able to do it at all.
Like you, choosing to give up any meds would be difficult - they are what keep me upright!
Hang in there - we are all here for you anytime you need to talk (or vent).

Hi Terri
I know nothing about the Medicare stuff but a quick google leads me to ask - do you qualify for the Extra Help?
Levels 3 and 4 seems income and asset related. I'm sure you know more about this than me but just in case.
Cannot imagine having to face the situation you find yourself in.

MoveOn Seeks To Back Obama Gun Plan
A prominent progressive advocacy group is soliciting funds to back up a plan to support the initiatives President Obama announced Wednesday to reduce the nation's gun violence. In an email to supporters, MoveOn.org says its efforts are aimed at push the gun control efforts past the muscle of the powerful National Rifle Association (NRA) and other gun-control opponents. The president unveiled the new gun control measures–including mandatory background checks for all gun buyers, a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips, more money for mental health, and stronger enforcement of the laws currently on the books–in response to the schoolhouse massacre in December of young children and others in Newtown, Conn. "It took a horrifying, unthinkable tragedy to put … Continue reading

The Ash Wednesday service is sponsored jointly by St. Luke's, St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Ander, and Zion Lutheran Church in Arneckeville.
Members of the community are invited to attend the service, which will begin at 7 p.m. St. Luke's is located at 11547 FM 622 in Schroeder.
According to an article entitled "Why and how do we use ashes on Ash Wednesday?" at www.elca.org, Ash Wednesday is the Wednesday of the seventh week before Easter and the first day of Lent. The day is named for the practice of imposing ashes, a practice which many Christian congregations have found to be a very meaningful part of the Ash Wednesday liturgy.
Using ashes as a sign of repentance is an ancient practice, often mentioned in the Bible (Jonah 3:5-9; Job 42:6; Jeremiah 6:26; Matthew 11:21). The early Christians adopted the use of ashes from Jewish practice as an external mark of penitence, according to the article.
The three congregations will also sponsor five Wednesday evening Lenten suppers and services on Feb. 20, Feb. 27, March 6, March 13, and March 20 and Holy Week services on March 28 and March 29.
The offerings received at the joint Lenten services will be designated for the offering received at the 2013 assembly of the Southwestern Texas Synod of the ELCA. The offering from congregations at the synod assembly, which will be held May 4-5 in Kerrville, will support Cross Trails Ministry.
Cross Trails Ministry is a year-round camp and retreat ministry owned by the congregations of the Southwestern Texas Synod of the ELCA. Two sites are at the heart of this ministry: Lutheran Camp Chrysalis in Kerrville and Ebert Ranch Camp in Harper. Off-site events and opportunities are also offered through the year.
For more information about the Feb. 13 service, call 645-2038.
