The media and spin, how can a brotha win?
I want to start todays entry out on a light note then gradually get heavier..
This piece is called:
"Don't forget to check your child's homework"
The teacher sent a note home with the student asking about the odd drawing and a note accompanied the child the following day explaining the drawing's meaning:
Dear Mrs. Jones,
I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer.
I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot.
From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.
Mrs. Smith
Where is our fellow MLBlogger The Happy Youngster and where is his blog? It's gone, all but his picture and his sidebar. Happy was a daily reader for me.
Was his blog hacked, you never know it's possible? :)
Was he forced by MLB or his employer to cease and desist all ball hawking activities?
Was he tired of all the BS and just said F'ck it?
I can't imagine this being the end of the Happy Youngster. Nick is a passionate ball hawk, you can't just give that up. The dude has thick skin, he'll emerge from all of this.
Nick I know you read the Rant brotha, I just want to say that I hate how things turned out. I know you're "good people" and if you're ever in Denver I better know about it. Take this experience and re-group. Get your focus and your priorities straight and roll forward at a extremely careful pace.
You have a lot of fans/friends around here so don't let the haters cloud your judgement.
I was reading Rays Renegade's blog today and he wrote a great entry on the unwritten rules of baseball.
It stimulated my brain and got me to thinking about the hidden and unhidden rules of the sport/hobby of ball hawking.
Maybe these so called rules need to be discussed and/or documented so future ball hawkers have a basis for which to learn this great sport/hobby?
I guess the best way to start this is to give you the rules that I try to snag by.
Some Ball Hawking Rules of Play
First let me say, I am not an expert on this subject. I expect that those of you that have more time in this sport than me will add to these suggestions. I didn't start ball hawking with these rules, I've adopted them as I'm learning this sport.
1. Ball hawking is a non-contact sport. Touching, shoving, holding or anyway preventing another ball hawk from snagging a ball is the lowest of low in my book.
2. Realize that each individual has his/her personal space. Sometimes staying out of that space can be tricky when you're tracking a BP homer. Just remember nobodys personal space deserves to be invaded while you're on a quest for another baseball. Back off and let the ball go, there will always be another.
3. Be polite and courteous. "B-Hats" don't love us I realize that, but you can do your best to not further damage our fragile image.
B-Hats = Ball Hawk haters
RPR's Dictionary defines a "B-Hat" as a special breed of loser. Usually B-Hats have never actually attended batting practice and make ridiculous assumptions on how they "think" something is as opposed to how it "Really" is. Another interesting fact is that B-Hats actually spend more time on the internet harassing ball hawks and leaving ignorant uneducated comments than ball hawks spend at the stadiums snagging baseballs.
Go figure?
4. Don't be that guy who screams at the players to toss up baseballs then gets mad when they don't.Go to a batting practice and you'll see, if you don't harass the players they will usually reward the fans who show up early to BP by tossing up baseballs. As soon as someone cusses a player out for not tossing up a ball, the baseball charity stops. I've seen it plenty of times.
5. Don't keep all the baseballs. Last year I kept the ones I caught and got them autographed. This year I'm snagging a few more so what I don't use for autographs I give to kids at batting practice. I give them away on my terms.
(That's the way most of the BP regulars at Coors Field are. They will keep anything that is different or new to them. The other baseballs they catch are given away as soon as they are snagged.)
6. When at all possible during BP stay out of a fellow snaggers bleacher row or general area. There's plenty of room, so no need to crowd anyone.(If you can read between the lines here that means please don't stand next to me).
7. Congratulate someone you notice make a nice catch. You know it's nice to hear it so throw it out there yourself. People like to know you noticed.
7. This one I'm still working on myself, but ignore the haters. People that don't go to batting practice have no idea what goes on or what we do. I never have a problem educating someone how things "Really" are so on this one I'm a work in progress.
8. Always keep an eye out for kids and BP homers. Somebody has to pay attention to those BP missiles crashing into the bleachers. I don't ever want to see a kid get hit with a ball because someone was afraid to catch or deflect a baseball headed for a group of kids because they didn't want to hurt their hand.
(<——Youkilis getting tagged by Chein-Ming Wang)
There are those of you who say it's wrong for an adult to bring a glove to a game. I've been hit with a ball so speaking from personal experience you are out of line and absolutely clueless on this one.
Personally I think that if your stadium seats are anywhere near foul ball or home run territory you're a fool not to bring a glove as protection.
When you have your glove with you you're able to fend off any enemy baseballs that may be on a mission to try and shorten or drastically alter your happy lifestyle. Don't believe me? Take a baseball hit off of a bat to the head then see how great life is with a busted skull or worse.
If you don't bring a glove I suggest a helmet. I hate helmet hair so I opt for bringing my glove.
9. ALWAYS say thank you if you're tossed a ball or a player does something nice for you. Remember the players owe you nothing.
My take on the whole Happy/Coghlan thing:
I have really thought about this a lot and in my opinion (not to bash Happy whatsoever), you cannot be team loyal and then swap gear just to get more baseballs. Zack Hample gets away with it but he'll be the first to tell you he's not team loyal, he's a fan of baseball.
Happy swapped his Brewers gear for Marlins gear on the chance of snaggin more baseballs. By doing that Milwalkee, The Brewers Nation, the Marlins and the state of Florida turned on him.
This country will forgive an athlete who staged dog fights and others who repeatedly abuse drugs and alcohol? Can't we forgive a overzealous baseball fan who just wanted a couple of baseball bats for his collection?
Do it Happy, give em their apology so they'll shutup and then move on brotha.
Remember when in doubt always take the high road, then you can look down and laugh and you don't get stuck in the rockslide…D

You can tell Happy really has a passion for getting those balls. I met him in Toronto for a brief while and you should have seen him bolt for a ball hit anywhere in the vacinity of us!! He loves it, he has a passion!
I wish I had that much passion for anything in my life! I really hope that he has not gotten too discouraged from all this. It is a very intriguing story, not only to baseball fans even. I really hope he comes back with his blog too.
Given what "happy" does day in and day out, I stand behind this guy. he didn't have to give the ball back.
ever MLB player even if it is a a"rookie" makes ridiculous amounts of $$ to play baseball. That is a great thing for them. "Happy" PAYS ridiculous prices to snag baseballs. He absolutely has a right to ask for what he did. It is not like he asked for $1000.00 for the ball. Which I probably would have done.
All those who snag baseballs inspire me to try for more. While I only have less than 40 in my life. I did get 22 last year, and already set a single game record of 3 in my 1st game this year.
all that to say, I hope Happy continues to snag. Let's all remember, that the FANS are what continues to pay MLB salaries.
D – you raise a lot of good points. It is hard sometimes when people are perceived as "overzealous" about wanting to get a ball from the game. We saw that last night at the Red Sox game – it was a close game, the Jays popped a ball up into foul territory, our catcher raised to get it – he did BUT he had to fight off the fan who leaned over to try and catch it instead! And while I know that Happy is one of the good guys I have to agree with you – I can not imagine going to a game and wearing clothing from anytime except the Red Sox! If you just change clothes to try and get more balls handed to you then what are you a fan of? Cooler heads need to prevail and I hope that Happy comes back!
Well said, Ranter. I like the term "B-Hats." I hope the Happy Youngster emerges unscathed from all of this and comes back with a vengeance.
I loved the homework story.
Maybe I can use that when I go back to Grad school as a ice-breaker at the college mixers lol.
As for the "Happy" situation.
I am of the family where you take what the nplayer gives you personally. It is not a debate.
I remember when Matt Sinatro was the Rays Bullpen coach and Aubrey Huff hit his 30th homer.
I went and got the guy for Matt and the guy was making demands.
Matt informed him that he had a ball in his hand, and it was the 30th homer if the guy became an *** about it all. Plain and simple, he got an autographerd ball and bat from Huff in the end.
The actual ball would mean more, but the feat itself is the pure prize. We forget that sometimes.
People were positioned all over the Trop in hopes of Jason Giambi's 300th during their series against the Rays.
I actually know what the person would have gotten after chatting with the Giambino one night at a local brew house.
But the true fact is we do not do balhawking as a profession, so anything that we get from the actions should be considered a great addition to your collection.
Rays Renegade
HOMER-Agreed brotha, I'm into it, but Happy takes it to a new level and I'm ok with that. It's his thing.
MRESPOT-Keep up the snaggin, sounds like you're off to a good start.
JULIA-He's back🙂
ZACK-Sup brotha? You gonna be in beautiful Colorado this summer?
RAYSREN-Thanks, I'm starting to realize it's all how you present yourself in these negotiations. Keep you're cool and don't be too demanding seems to be the key. There is no "standard operating proceedure" for what to do in these situations, so each incident is it's own baby if you know what I mean. Some baseballs hit by some players will historically have value to them, some will not.
Why is it ok to sell a Bonds baseball for big bucks and not ask for a couple of bats for another player?
Maybe Ball Hawks need agents to negotiate their deals? I'm just kidding, but you see how crazy sheet can get…D


text: I am a first time mom, and will be back to work in four weeks! I am not quite sure the best way to make sure she (our 2 month old cutie) gets enough to eat while I am back at work full time. She has been eating every 2-3 hours except at night, which is every 3-5. Is a hospital breast pump that I rent the best way to go? I don"t want her to go back to supplementing formula. Also, she will only sleep in her bouncer next to our bed at night, but will nap during the day in her bed. Is this bad for her? I worry about her posture and digestion, plus lately she has stopped her 5 hour sleeping stretches. How do I get her to sleep in her pac and play in our room?

i'm new to the boards and have spent every free moment reading for the past 24 hrs.
i have a 7 1/2 yr old and a 1 1/2 week old. both times i have had a tremendous over-supply of milk. everyone tells me how i should feel blessed but when you go through almost a week of engorgement and you leak an oz a day it's hard to still see this. luckily, we are mostly on top of the situation this time due to 5 minute pumping on one side before feeding and sticking to block feeding. (had no idea there was a name for this, just figured this out with the first one)
anyway, it's amazing to find this msg board and to see that i'm not the only one with this much milk/series of issues. i feel so relieved to be among others who understand!
to other mamas with over-abundance, do you find you often suffer from mastitis? i am just recouperating from my first bout this time, and i would say i went through it at least once a month for 19 mos with my dd. i really don't want to go through that on a regular basis again.

Effective Dispute Resolution
Complaint Investigation Process
The state complaint investigation process is a procedure that is established under both the Federal and State special education laws and rules. In a state complaint, a person who has knowledge of the educational issues concerning the child may file a written, signed complaint. The complaint must identify the child (or in some cases children), the facts that have led to the dispute and the suggestions for how the situation needs to be fixed.
- Allegations that the person refuses to put in writing or sign, despite offers of assistance in preparing the complaint.
- Inquiries that seek advice and clarification regarding parental rights but which make it clear that no official action is to be taken.
- Anonymous correspondence.
- Courtesy copies of correspondence directed to another entity.
- Allegations that are not violations of the special education rules and regulations (i.e. personnel issues, Section 504 issues, harassment, etc.)
- Certain issues that may be more appropriately addressed via the due process system. For more information please visit the ISBE Due Process page.
- A signed, written letter alleging that the school district violated one or more of the special education laws or rules/regulations.
- An allegation of a violation that occurred not more than one year prior to the date the complaint is received by the Illinois State Board of Education.
Per federal regulations at 34 CFR 300.509, this form has been developed to assist parents and other parties in filing a State complaint. The use of this form is recommended, but not required. The completed form should be sent to the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) as well as the child's local school district or to the public agency that is serving the child.
The Illinois State Board of Education
Special Education Services Division
100 North First Street
Springfield, Illinois 62777-0001
- Complaints regarding a specific child lodged by an individual other than the parent/guardian must be accompanied by a letter of permission from the parent/guardian in order for ISBE to share information with the complainant regarding the results of the investigation. Likewise, if an individual files a complaint on behalf of a student who is eighteen (18) years of age or older, it must be accompanied by a letter of permission from the student in order for ISBE to share information with the complainant regarding the results of the investigation.
- A complaint which is substantially modified or amended by the complainant (i.e., new allegations) subsequent to official written notification of the complaint may be deemed a new complaint for the purpose of computing the applicable timeline.
- Within 60 days after a valid complaint is filed, the State Board of Education will carry out an independent investigation to gather information, and an on-site visit will be conducted, if necessary. An extension of time to complete the investigation shall be allowed if exceptional circumstances exist, or if the parent and school district agree to extend the timeline to engage in mediation or other alternate means of dispute resolution.
- The individual filing the complaint has the opportunity to submit additional information about the allegations of the complaint, either orally or in writing.
- The public agency has an opportunity to respond to the complaint, including a proposal to resolve the complaint and an opportunity for the parent who has filed a complaint and the public agency to voluntarily engage in mediation.
- The State Board of Education will review all relevant information and make an independent determination whether the public agency is violating a requirement of federal or state special education regulations.
- The State Board of Education will issue a written decision to the individual filing the complaint that addresses each allegation and contains (a) findings of fact and conclusions; (b) the reasons for the State Board of Education's decision; and (c) orders for any actions necessary to bring the public agency into compliance with federal or state requirements. If the local school district or the special education cooperative does not verify compliance with the Illinois State Board of Education, additional enforcement proceedings may occur.
- Use of the complaint process does not preclude an eligible party such as a parent, school district, or a student from requesting a special education due process hearing.
- All action relative to the complaint will be set aside if a hearing has been initiated and the issues in the complaint are addressed in the hearing request. Potential violations alleged in the complaint that are not addressed in the due process hearing will be handled through the complaint process.
- If an issue raised in a complaint has already been decided in a due process hearing, the decision of the due process hearing officer is binding.

The House of Givenchy was opened in 1952, with Audrey Hepburn in place as one of designer Hubert de Givenchy's original muses. While the brand still captures the chic, feminine moments of the midcentury ideal, today's collections have an edge. Models are frequently done up in overstated eye makeup with slick, slightly waved hair.

With the impending retirement of current FCISD Superintendent Linda Bettin, the school board approved a "Lone Finalist" at the meeting, after weeks of reviewing and interviewing qualified applicants for the new superintendent position.
Tylor Chaplin, currently a principal at Huckabay ISD in Stephenville, was the Lone Finalist that was approved after Chaplin had a final interview during a closed meeting session of the board meeting.
"'Lone Finalist' means that the district has offered him the position, but may not take action for 21 days," said Superintendent Linda Bettin after the meeting. "This is a requirement that all districts must wait 21 days after the selection of an applicant for superintendent before a contract may be signed."
Bettin will retire after the current school year, with the new superintendent set to begin duties at the start of the 2013-2014 school year. More information will be forthcoming when the superintendent selection becomes official and finalized.
In other matters, the council reviewed the resignation of food service staff member Lillian Moy, who will be retiring after the current school year, after 26 years with the district. Moy, however, will still be available in a substitute capacity when needed.
"She's going to sub for us," said Bettin of Moy. " She knows how hard it is for us to find food service subs, so she said she would be back. She's enjoyed her time with us."

Laurier Brantford
Laurier to host indigenous research conference
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Jan 29/14| For Immediate Release
Jo-Anne Lawless, MA Candidate
Kevin Klein, External Relations Coordinator
BRANTFORD Wilfrid Laurier Universitys Brantford campus and the Aboriginal Student Association will host the Graduate Students Conference in Indigenous Research beginning Friday, Jan. 31 at 6 p.m. in the Research and Academic Centre, 150 Dalhousie Street.
The conference is being organized by two current Laurier graduate students: Jo-Anne Lawless, MA candidate in Cultural Analysis and Social Theory, and Carla Lopez, MA candidate in Criminology. The theme is Indigeneity, Globalization and the Law.
The overrepresentation of Aboriginal peoples within the Canadian criminal justice system prompted us to take a closer look at the experiences of all Indigenous peoples with the law, said Lopez. Our hope for the conference is to unite the community and the Brantford campus, and showcase what a welcoming community the Indigenous Studies and Criminology programs provide for people of Indigenous descent.
The conference schedule includes a traditional opening by Jean Becker, Lauriers senior Aboriginal advisor, and panel discussions on topics including the effects of incarceration, reconciliation and resistance, and Indigenous ways of knowing and being.
Justice Gethin Edward, a member of the Ontario Court of Justice since December 1996, will give the keynote address. He is a lifelong resident of Brantford, and has recently initiated a Gladue court in Brantford.
For more details about the conference, including a full schedule, and registration information, please visit the conference website.

BSC Student Puts Academic Skills to Work, Lands Grant Award for Princeton Business
CreatedTuesday, November 13 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
(Bluefield)—Bluefield State College student Jerome Powell applied the instruction and knowledge he received in the classroom in a "living laboratory." He composed and submitted an application for a Sam's Club "Step Up for Small Business" grant and he received notification recently that the grant has been selected for a $1500 award.
"I have been working with a new business, Mountaineer MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), Powell explained. "I have a friend who is a co-owner. I have been working on the process for obtaining a business license, and I have helped aspects of the business like developing their marketing plan, ribbon-cutting ceremony."
A few months earlier, the BSC Business Administration senior applied for two grants to help the new business. "The Sam's Club grant was very compatible with the goals of Princeton MMA," he observed. "During the grant preparation, I identified a target audience, developed a project concept and sustainability strategies, and identified program goals and objectives. I drew heavily on what I had learned in my Business courses at Bluefield State."
More recently, Powell attended the "Enactus Fall Leadership Conference" in Washington, DC. Enactus, a community of student, academic, and business leaders, focuses upon using the power of entrepreneurial action to help individuals and small businesses to cut costs, operate in a socially responsible manner, and succeed.
Powell, who has served as a member of the BSC Student Government Association and as the Student Representative on the Board of Governors, will now assemble a BSC student Enactus team that will consult with, and develop financial strategies for Mountaineer MMA. "We will install QuickBooks Online accounting software, expand the marketing plan to include door hangers, posters, flyers, viral videos, social media marketing, integrated marketing communications, and more. It will be a five-year roadmap," he added.
With graduation from BSC just around the corner in May, 2013, Powell is considering his next option. "I would like to attend graduate school and earn an advanced degree," he said, "or I could enter the military through the officer candidate program."
"I owned and operated a retail clothing store when I was 19, and I thought I knew a lot about running a business," he recounted. "However, the things I have learned at Bluefield State and through this experience have really helped me become more confident and develop a better understanding of everything that is involved in establishing and operating a successful business.

"We head beautiful weather, a perfect day for track and field and the athletes had a great time," said Beeville coach David Henley.
All teams were given a military escort for the opening ceremonies. The Trojan team was honored to have Marine MSgt. Edward Castaneda, a native of Chicago and an Iraq War veteran who is currently stationed in Corpus Christi.
A special honor was also bestowed on the Beeville team as Aileen Garcia was selected to be one of the five athletes to make the final run with the Olympic torch around the track during the opening ceremonies. Her co-runner was Officer Marlene Mandell, representing the Texas Department of Justice Glossbrenner Unit and the Law Enforcement Torch Run.
Allie Bernal won a silver medal in the 50-meter run and a gold medal in the softball throw for the Trojans. Aileen Garcia was fifth in the 50-meter race and won a silver medal in the softball throw. Richard Moreno won a gold medal in the 50-meter walk and another gold in the softball throw. Alex Salazar was fifth in the 50-meter run and captured a fourth place finish in the softball throw.
"Great job Trojans, we're proud of you," said Henley.

The important things I learned in BF class was that BF takes Practice Perserverence and Patience :D
As long as you are determined to you will succeed. I was determined never to give my baby formula and she is 19 months and has never had it. We had some trouble in the beginning, but my determination got me through it.
Also important you have a good support system in place - people who won't just tell you to give up and give the baby formula. Always come back here. You may want to check out a meeting so you can have some IRL BF friends/support. Also the LC suggestion someone else made was great, most hospitals, if not all have them.
Also (forget if this was already mentioned) Try to get a copy of LLL's Womanly Art of breastfeeding. This is the Bible! It can be confusing if you are reading multiple things, BTDT - I think I read about 5 different books,but LLL"s was the best!

Kenny Rogers – Coward of the County
Driving back from Chicago to St. Louis today, I listened to a lot of sports talk radio, and I eventually got frustrated and had to turn it off because all they were talking about was Kenny Rogers and his dirty hand. I agree it looks like he was cheating, but he did clean up his hand after the first inning, and we failed to hit him the rest of the game anyway. The commentators keep talking about how TLR failed to fight for his team, how the umps didn't do their job, etc. They are talking like we have lost the series because of this, but let's remember, folks, we came out of Detroit tied 1-1 which is a pretty good place to be. I guess I would rather just move on, focus on the positives right now, and have the team look forward to something they can control, or at least influence – tomorrow night's game.
Since I couldn't stand to listen to talk radio anymore, I stopped at a truck stop and bought a CD – Kenny Rogers' Greatest Hits. Choice tracks include:
Through the Schmears
Islands in the Cream
Lubey (Don't Take Your Glove to Town)
Coward of the County
Make No Mistake, She's Pine
You Decorated My Ball
We've Got To Blight
Don't Fall in Love with a Schemer
5 Comments
maybe it was just snot; it was very cold in Detroit, and maybe just maybe, he wiped his nose on his hand
That's nice of you to say that about Ken Rogers Cardinal Girl, if that is you and not someone else anyway.
Funny with the KR CD!!!😉
Palmero the head Ump gave a talk and explanation to the press, and he said the Umps looked at the ball and got a look at KR's hand, and their judgement was dirt, resin and moisture.
KR says he rubs-up practice with dirt and spit, so it could be he truth. Could be glove grease-polish whatever mixed in their with all the rest. I've seen other pitchers' and players' hands with marks on them.
Good idea would be for all pitchers before a game to hold-up their hands so the cameras and Umps and everyone can see them.😉
KR would be awful stupid to put pine tar on his pitching hand where everyone could see it!! When pitchers do such things they usually have the tar on their fingers and not on the ball or bottom of their hand under the thumb where the tar would be useless as it is supposed to go on the pitcher's fingers!!
Pitcher's sometimes try and hide a little tar on the underside of their bills of their caps or elsewhere. Also, if their is dirt on the ball or the resin bag then they will indeed rub-up the ball on the mound, which is legal. One reason why Umps frequently check the condition of the ball and remove worn ones from play, and Umps rub-up the new replacement balls a bit.
Plus, who would be so blatantly arrogant and crazy enough to do something so obvious and jeporadize Postseason Games??
Game 2 was a cliff hanger. Too much for little old me I tell you. We haven't had any postseason play here in 22 years, so this year has been nearly a heart-attack at times. we all about died here when the Tigers lost their last 3 games to KC!!
Good luck to your team and you have great pitching and a great team there. Leyland says without the regular season injuries the Cards would have 90-some-odd wins, mid to high 90's and 100 maybe.
Chris in Detroit
Glad you're back – enjoyed KR's greatest hits. Did you enjoy the Chicago weather??
I Hate rain delays
and he is not a coward he is he is a……….uh i wont say it but, I am thinking worse than a coward

Heine, who also serves on the editorial board of the Caribbean Journal of International Relations and Diplomacy, a joint quarterly publication of the IIR-UWI and the Trinidad and Tobago Ministry of Foreign Affairs, gave the keynote address at the Heads of Mission Conference of the Trinidad and Tobago Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Port-of-Spain last February, which gathered all of the country's ambassadors posted abroad as well as the ministrys senior staff.
Heine is the co-editor, with Andrew F. Cooper and Ramesh Thakur, of the recently published Oxford Handbook of Modern Diplomacy (Oxford University Press, 2013). "I started my career in the field of Caribbean studies," says Heine, who is a past-president of the Caribbean Studies Association, and whose book Fixing Haiti: MINUSTAH and Beyond (United Nations University Press, 2011) has had a considerable impact, "and it is very rewarding to be associated now with the IIR, which has trained so many of the Caribbean's leading diplomats, and has had a long-standing Canadian connection.
In addition to being a professor of Political Science at Wilfrid Laurier University, Heine is a Distinguished Fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) and holds the CIGI Chair in Global Governance at the Balsillie School of International Affairs.

Closing out 2012 with a bit of fun: Do you want some quantum with that pseudoscience?
today is the last day of 2012. As I contemplated what I'd write for my last post of 2012, I wondered what to do. Should I do a "year in review" sort of post? Naahh. Too trite and too much work. Should I just do what I normally do? There are, after all, many topics that are out there, some of them still holdovers from before the holiday season. I can't get to them all, even between this blog and my not-so-super-secret other blog. I thought about it a minute, but then rejected that possibility. So I decided just to cover one of them. After all, when years begin and end are human constructs, and there's nothing special about today other than that society has decided that it is the last day of the year, and tradition mandates that a significant proportion of the population will gather before midnight to get drunk and stupid. I'm boring that way, rarely doing anything on New Years Eve other than sitting in front of the TV with my wife and watching the ball drop in Times Square. Then I thought: Oh, what the heck? Why not take on something a bit…different for a change? Maybe even get a bit silly? At least I can finish off the year with a bit of fun. Who knows? I might even be able to be far more concise than usual? (Actually, that might be asking too much.) Besides, the topics I tend to take on here are almost always serious; so a little amusement would be good before diving into the science and pseudoscience that will certainly pop up in 2013.
If there's one thing about "alternative" medicine, "complementary and alternative medicine" (CAM), or "integrative medicine" that's always puzzled me, it's just how gullible some practitioners must think their clients are. In some cases, they might know their customers every bit as well as a car salesman knows his clients or an author knows his readers, but in actuality most people who fall for alt-med are no more gullible than average. However, some words seem to impress more than ever, as promoters of alt-med scramble to appropriate impressive-sounding science terms into their woo. I've seen a lot of them. So has Mark Crislip.
Among the favorite real science term that quacks love to appropriate is "quantum." I blame Deepak Chopra. Although I highly doubt he was the first promoter of alternative medicine and various New Age thought to use and abuse the term "quantum" as a seemingly scientific justification of what in reality is nothing more than ancient mystical thinking gussied up with a quantum overcoat to hide its lack of science, Chopra has arguably done the most to popularize the term among the science-challenged set. In Chopra's world, the word "quantum" functions like a magical talisman that explains ™everything because in the quantum world anything can happen. Actually, I should clarify. While it's true that many bizarre and wondrous things can be explained through quantum theory (such as quantum entanglement), it is not, as Chopra and his many imitators would have you believe, a "get out of jail free" card for any magical thinking you can imagine, and quantum effects do not work the way people like Chopra (say, Lionel Milgrom, who seems to think that homeopathy works through quantum entanglement between practitioner, remedy, and patient) would like you to think.

The 12th Day of Hot Stove…or so
In honor of this season of rumors, waiting and hoping – and of Christmas music played so early and often in the stores that it's already stuck in my head – I subject you all to the following:
On the 12th day of Hot Stove, my GM gave to me:
12 Wild Rumors
11 Hours of Water Cooler Gossip
10 Non Committal Interviews
9 Calls to Carl Crawford
8 Bloggers Blogging
7 Arbitrations Settled
6 Hot Bats
5 Future Rings!
4 Calls to Cliff Lee
3 Relief Pitchers
2 Golden Gloves
And A Closer That Can Get the Job Done!
My apologies to Old English minstrels, or something like that.
This is meant to be more baseball (or perhaps more American League?) generic than Angels specific…and was intended to drive the refrain from my head, where it has been stuck since I made up the first and last lines several days ago…but, if I can give a few of you a chuckle or two, then I am happy.🙂
6 Comments
I agree with srf17. Now you've got me singing that song! Make it stop! lol.
Thanks srf17!
And Oops, sorry to both of you. I didn't mean to get the song out of my head but getting it stuck in yours! Quick, try thinking of some else catchy instead like Tom's Diner or YMCA😉
Only 4 calls to Cliff? They better get on that!
Phil – That depends on the GM in question. Many might just be warming up with the four calls. But if it's Tony Reagins, four calls are sufficient to be a red herring. And if it's Brian Cashman, well then four calls might just be enough for a contract. I could believe that Cashman's calls are that much more efficient than those of other GMs. LOL.
And by Phil I meant Jeff…hmmm…time for more coffee, or something.

Assignment: Education- Dress Expectations
Are legging-style pants appropriate for school?
"I wore tall boots that are brown. I wore Under Armour running tights, and a pink sweater," said Anna Weber, Central High School senior.
Weber is dressed like a lot of students her age who enjoy wearing leggings.
"I like wearing them because they're comfortable," said Weber. "And they kind of just look like a black pant. So, they go with everything, but at the same time they're comfortable."
Her pink sweater hangs down over her leggings. But when the shirts get higher, so do concerns about proper school attire. But these hot pants haven't been such a hot topic in the Coulee Region according to Central High School Associate Principal Troy McDonald.
"We're seeing some of that trend," said McDonald. "To be honest with you, my main concern is is it something that's affecting learning. And at this point, that's not something that I've seen that's distracting learning."
Administrators at Onalaska High School say the trend hasn't been an issue at their school either.
"Students do wear the leggings and jeggings," said Anna Curtis, Onalaska High School associate principal. "I don't know if I notice it so often that they just wear a sweatshirt or a t-shirt. I'm sure they do. It just hasn't been something that's been brought to my attention on a regular basis. So, we don't feel like it's something that we need to address or impose something that's going to be cyclical anyway."
Both School districts have dress expectations for their students which allows them to wear what they would like as long as they use common sense.
"We try to educate students that a school environment is more like a work place environment than it is a social setting that they might encounter on a Friday or Saturday night," said Curtis. "So, that's what we try to instill in them that this is like work place or more like a business."
And both districts say their students are very respectful of the dress expectations and usually want to look their best.
"Yoga pants and leggings are very comfortable and easy to just put on in the morning if you're in a rush and still look cute and nice," said Breanna Sanders, Central High School senior.
"Kids want to look nice," said McDonald. "Generally, they try and put their best foot forward."

Actor Bill Murray made one lucky couple's day when he stopped on the street and became part of their engagement photo shoot.
The Post and Courier reports that Ashley Donald and Erik Rogers were posing for engagement photos around downtown Charleston, S.C. when they were suddenly distracted by someone standing behind the photographer, Raheel Gauba of Fia Forever Photography.
The rest is best explained by the folks at Fia Forever themselves, via a blog post on their site:
What an interesting day we have had today! Today is the day that will go down in history for us – Today, we went viral.
It all started with an innocent little engagement shoot in downtown Charleston with our lovely couple Ashley Donald & Erik Rogers. We were roaming the streets of downtown Charleston (the most romantic city in the country, btw) doing their engagement pictures… and most of the time when I have an attractive couple, you get to hear all sorts of noises around you – from whistles, to "you look hottttt" to "congratulations!" – I set the couple down on that little staircase to get ready for a shot and I hear people talking in the back and as I'm looking through the lens, the couple seems stunned and distracted… I think to myself – oh great, someone is bothering them – I turn around and I see Mr. Murray standing there with his shirt pulled up and belly proudly on display which he is patting pretty loudly in an attempt to make the couple laugh – Needless to say I was stunned and I invited Mr. Murray to join the couple for a quick shot – He obliged and congratulated them and went on his way… leaving behind an extremely happy couple and this photo that will be forever remembered by this couple (and us!!!).
Just last month, Murray crashed a bachelor party and gave the groom some marriage advice.

Worked Sorta By Jamie on 12/3/2016Jamie wouldn't recommend this product to a friendLike others have said. Its okay I guess but don't trust it with your tank. It will randomly decide to stop working and then your tank won't fill. If you're always around its not terrible but when you work 80 hours a week like me then you quickly get your tank 10 gallons of water short and with a salinity through the roof.
As advertised fits in back of JBJ 6 Gallon By JBJ6Reef on 6/24/2016JBJ6Reef would recommend this product to a friendI use this in my JBJ 6 gallon reef tank. The float sensor fits in the middle back compartment after I removed the original media.
Decent ATO when it works, not reliable for long trips By Michael on 6/2/2016Michael would recommend this product to a friendI've had this ATO about 2.5 years now. It's decently reliable, however, sometimes it just stops working, its like it will get past the float valve and just not try to fill any more. Usually I can go 3-4 days with it working, and then it stops, I'll come home after not being there for 5 days and I'm about to run dry in my pump. It's a shame, since I'd like to be able to leave for 5+ days without worrying about the tank running dry. I would recommend it for people who had time and are around enough to catch it not working. I've swapped float sensors, but went back to the original, because the new one shorted out or something.
No go By Just_Tim on 5/21/2016Just_Tim wouldn't recommend this product to a friendIve bought 3 of these. None of them lasted longer than 6 months. 1 blew it's board in 60 days, the other two stopped recognizing the float switches. Jbj did send me a new head unit but after 3 failed controllers I have completely lost faith in the products this company pushes.
short lived By Chris on 4/29/2016Chris would recommend this product to a friendthese just don't last.
Positive Review By Jason on 2/16/2016Jason would recommend this product to a friendI am running the JBJ ATO on my 27 gallon cube with the eshopps sump. I highly recommend watching the videos and setting the ATO with Sensor A triggering the pump and flipping Sensor B around to shut the pump off if the water volume gets to high in the sump.
Money Well Spent By Chris on 1/3/2016Chris would recommend this product to a friendEasy setup, straightforward indicators, and well priced. I haven't had any issues at all in months of use, and little to no build-up on the floats. I do still clean them with my sump maintenance, and splash some water on them to stave off salt creep now and again. I do like having the second float as an off switch as recommend by the BRS video. Will buy again if I need another.
Same story different person By josh on 12/22/2015josh wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI recently had this product working well for about a month or two. Switched it to a different tank and now the red light goes on for instilling water and does not go off, switched sensors, power on and off, no kinks in sensors, it just does not work. Very disappointing. Had a great start
Nice By Phand on 12/19/2015Phand would recommend this product to a friendI purchased this with a nice pump very reliable and cost effective
Disappointed By Sad Panda on 12/1/2015Sad Panda wouldn't recommend this product to a friendBiggest thing I found was that if I have power outages even for a minute or two when the power comes back on the ATO turns on the pump for about 10 seconds "no matter what the water level is". If you have several power stops and starts like when they are trying to get the power on after a storm you could end up with a flood.

Damascus road workers retained
February 27, 2013 —
The Damascus Township Board of Supervisors on February 18 voted unanimously to extend the employment of two township road workers who were appointed last month as foremen for 30 days. Supervisor chairman Jeffrey R. Dexter was absent from the meeting.
"We're going to let it run another month to see how it works out," supervisor Charles Grady said, following a five-minute executive session.
Fellow supervisor Joseph Canfield agreed, saying 30 days was not enough time to assess the performance of the employees, Marvin Freiermuth and John Moss. The two were previously regular road workers, but their pay, $16.33 per hour, has not changed since they've become foremen, said treasurer Dolores Card.
Grady had previously resigned from his position as roadmaster but has remained a member of the road crew. In Pennsylvania, a supervisor can also be a municipality's roadmaster. When asked after the February meeting why he had resigned, Grady said, "That's something I don't want to get into."
In other news, Ed Lagarenne, Damascus webmaster, reported that the number of hits to the township website has reached 59,000. The site was established in 2001. Lagarenne said the site has been getting 400 to 600 views a month, some from quite a distance.
"We've been getting some from Syria," Lagarenne said, laughing. But most of the hits, he said, are local or from the tri-state area. "So that's pretty good," he said.
The supervisors said the inclement conditions—such as mud and snow—on Holgate and Dillmuth roads are being looked into. "That issue will hopefully be resolved," said Canfield.

First, let's check our quiz answers from last month, shall we?
Here's the actual quote from President George H. W. Bush, from his State of the Union Address for 1992: "The opponents of this measure [cutting the capital gains tax] and those who've authored various so-called soak-the-rich bills that are floating around this chamber should be reminded of something: When they aim at the big guy, they usually hit the little guy. And maybe it's time that stopped."
(Does George give away the game here? He seems to be admitting that the "big guys" hide behind the "little guys." But that's something for another column.)
I made up the "Rousseau" and "Will Rogers" quotes myself. (Did you like them? Did you believe them, or at least think they were plausible?) But anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist really did say this: "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub."
(If that makes you think of Michael Douglas dunking Glenn Close in "Fatal Attraction," I think that is exactly the image Grover had in mind. But that is also something for another column.)
By the way, I don't want to seem to be picking on conservatives here. There are probably more than a few spurious quotes floating around that serve liberal narratives as well. (If you know any, send them to me.) However, I do think that conservatives give greater weight and credence to historical "authority" than liberals, and this may lead them to be more susceptible to believing, and therefore passing along, this sort of quotation.
Anyway: I have to admit, I brought up this whole subject of spurious quotes just because this one bugs me so much:
"That government is best that governs least."
This quote, a great favorite of modern conservatives and libertarians, is sometimes attributed to Thomas Jefferson, sometimes Thomas Paine. But it actually enters the literature in the writings of Henry David Thoreau (of all people) in his essay "On Civil Disobedience"—and it wasn't even original with him. The original was the motto of a journal called "The United States Magazine and Democratic Review," edited by one John O'Sullivan. (See facweb.furman.edu/~benson/docs/demrev.htm for the full text of O'Sullivan's manifesto, which puts this sentiment in context.)
The appeal of this quote is obvious. It's facile, and catchy. It seems to justify the Republicans' present attempts to dismantle all the regulatory apparatus that keep the market from consuming everything in sight. But it's also paradoxical—would we say, "That police department is best that polices least?" "That nurse is best that nurses least?" "That teacher is best that teaches least?" "Those prisons are best that imprison the least?" "That army is best that fights the least?"(Hmm… I may have to think about the implications of that last one a bit.)
Let me offer what seems to me a more accurate alternative. Feel free to pass it along—who knows, maybe at some point it'll be accepted as part of the historical canon as well…
"That nation is best, which is least in need of governance."
No, wait—that's not really enough, is it? We need a larger context. I'll even couch it in antiqued language, to give it a bit more cachet.
"Therefore, let us not say 'That government is best that governs least'—for would that not be the fondest wish of the brigand and the highwayman, that government itself should dissolve, and the rule of law disappear? Rather, let us declare that nation the best, which is least in need of governance."
Ascribe this to "Anonymous," if you like. Or maybe Ben Franklin.
P.S. When looking into the past, it can be hard to sort out truth from fantasy. Fortunately, some folks have devoted themselves to unraveling such historical conundrums. Besides the ever-useful www.snopes.com [2], you can also check sites like the following: quoteinvestiga tor.com, en.wikiquote.org/wiki/List_of_misquotations, www.monticello.org/site/research-and-collections/spurious-quotes [3] (specifically about spurious Thomas Jefferson quotes), and see books like Paul Boller and John George's compendium, "They Never Said It: A Book of Fake Quotes, Misquotes, and Misleading Attributions" (Oxord University Press, 1990).

The Chamber will host lunch, a photo op with local officials, and provide an overview of how to lobby your local representatives with legislative expert Sammy Gray, manager of state affairs for FirstEnergy.
Exhibitors will need to register by Thursday to secure a space. Registration is available by calling the Chamber at 304-636-2717 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
This is a free event for Chamber members and $35 for non-members to attend. Sponsorship opportunities are available for this event. Chamber members would like to thank FirstEnergy, the Randolph County Housing Authority, and Woodland Development Group for their support of this event.

When Erasmo walked in a room with his smile, the room instantly lit up. He was known as "The Tiger Woods" of Goliad because of his love for golf. When not playing golf, he enjoyed spending time with family and his grandchildren. He touched so many hearts with his stories and most of all his heartfelt poems.
