The innovative Kisai Spider watch uses Transparent LCD to create the illusion that time is floating on your wrist. Four numbers, arranged from large to small, display the digital time in an original and intuitive way.
One of Kisai Spider's most attractive features is its transparent hexagonal display. Inspired by the concentric rings of a spider's web, the LCD is slightly smoked to make the time easily visible and comes in black, blue, green or red. Recessed between two mineral crystal lenses, you can see right through the case.
Housed in a stainless steel case, Kisai Spider comes in silver or black with finely brushed finish and polished detail.
Two white LED lights within Kisai Spider's case can be activated at the touch of a button and illuminate the display so you can read the time in the dark. Kisai Spider also has a custom programmed animation which imitates a spider's web being spun - this appears every 15 minutes and can be turned on or off in the settings.
Watch the video below to see the LED light & animations in effect.
Kisai Spider is a digital watch in a new format. Four hexagonal rings present the time in four digits (hours and minutes) from large to small, from the outside to the inside. At first glance the display looks like a cryptic pattern, but you'll soon learn how to read the time really fast.
You can choose to have time shown in 12 or 24 hour mode. Push the button and the display will change to date mode, which shows the month and date from the outside to the inside.
See some examples of how to read the time below:
Kisai Spider has a fully adjustable strap making it suitable for small and large wrists and uses two standard SR626SW watch batteries which will last at least 10 months and can easily be replaced.
Each part of Kisai Spider has been individually designed and manufactured, including the case, strap and uniquely programmed display. Like all watches from Tokyoflash Japan it is a limited edition design which means that it is guaranteed to be an original watch that not many other people own.
Kisai Spider originated as a concept on the Tokyoflash Design Studio Blog in February 2012. It was voted as one of the most popular concepts by fans on the blog and was developed based on feedback provided. Kisai Spider is now reality. Find out more about the original concept on the Tokyoflash Design Studio BLOG.

This satellite-based image shows Super Typhoon Sanba in the Philippine Sea on Thursday.
A storm packing 145 mph winds was bearing down on the southern end of Japan's Okinawa Island, where locals and U.S. military personnel were quickly stocking up and battening down.
Typhoon Sanba had winds equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane. (Named storms west of the international dateline in the Northwest Pacific Ocean are called typhoons, not hurricanes.)
Earlier Friday, Sanba's winds had reached 178 mph, making it a "super typhoon" in the jargon of meteorologists. That was the equivalent of a top-rated Category 5 hurricane.
After swiping southern Okinawa this weekend, Sanba is projected to make landfall in South Korea with winds still around 100 mph.
"The center will pass close to Okinawa this weekend and then Sanba, in a less-intense but still potent state, is expected to reach South Korea Sunday night or Monday," weather.com reported.
On Okinawa, the Stars and Stripes news website for U.S. military personnel was reporting that military commissaries were packed with people buying food and emergency supplies.
"We're already seeing/feeling Super Typhoon Sanba's most outer bands," the report stated. "If it's sitting outside the garage, put it inside. If the garage door is still open, shut it. If the trampoline is still up, take it down."
Kadena Air Base, with 18,000 servicemen, is the U.S. facility closest to Sanba and should see winds around 60 mph.
Up to a foot of rain was forecast for the area and satellite data shows that some of Sanba's bands were dumping 3 inches of rain an hour, NASA said in a statement.

Some 80,000 U.S. citizens are on Okinawa, nearly 30,000 of them U.S. military personnel. Okinawa's total population is some 1.3 million people.

'Dream come true'
Local group unveils 2015 Rose Parade float celebrating Armenian Americans
By André Coleman , Stephanie Davis 06/18/2014
The Armenian Rose Float Association (ARFA) will unveil the design of its first Rose Parade float Saturday during a private event.
The float reflects thousands of years of Armenian culture, music, faith and tradition. The main depiction on the float is a dancing Armenian woman dressed in a robe. The float will also feature other elements of the Armenian culture, including religious instruments and symbols of faith.
"We found out we had an Armenian grand marshal in the parade 100 years ago and we came together and started talking about a float," said local activist Chris Chahinian, a onetime candidate for City Council. "It's going very well. The Armenian community is excited about this idea."
In 1915, local business owner M.S. Pashgian, an Armenian American, was chosen to be the grand marshal in the Rose Parade. Members of Pashgian's family were scheduled to be at the unveiling on Saturday.
The float, which has already been accepted into the 2015 parade, will be built by Phoenix Decorating Co. Phoenix was awarded six trophies at the 2014 Rose Parade. The theme of the 2015 parade is "Inspiring Stories."
"We chose Phoenix Decorating Co. because they have become the leader in float development, construction, decoration and presentation." Chahinian said.
"We [the Armenian community] have a long history in Pasadena, and we're looking forward to participating in this year's theme, especially because we have so many inspiring stories to share," he said.
Chahinian said he hopes to have a float commemorating Armenian Americans in parades to come.
Next year also marks the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Also known among Armenians as the Great Crime, the genocide began in 1915 and, by the time it ended eight years later, 1.5 million Armenians had been hanged, poisoned, drowned or marched into the desert to die at the hands of soldiers from the Turkish Ottoman Empire. Along with the Jewish Holocaust and the enslavement of African Americans, it remains one of the darkest episodes in human history.
A memorial to the victims of that horrific event will be unveiled next year in Memorial Park.
"We're sharing Armenian culture and heritage with the Pasadena community and beyond," said Chahinian. The float, he said, "represents Armenians around the world, and it is a dream come true."

Dear god this was work, and fun.
Too much twitch imo. >way to much and at some parts pointless<
Its not a bad Collab but I've seen better ones
I just didnt like it effect wise. Didnt give me a beat to catch on to...
What I liked was the merging of game footage and anime cutscene footage. That was clever!
What program do you guys use with After Effects? Premiere or Vegas?
We use mostly everything, but this is nothing compared to what we actually do.

I like a good high five. Why, I can even go for a high five, up high, down low, too slow. But call me a crabby old sports fan, because lately when I sit down to watch an NFL football game, I am getting more and more annoyed at the celebratory antics of players who thoroughly over-rejoice at the most routine plays.
That's not to say that I haven't enjoyed some of the entertaining frolics of players in the past. I remember back in the '80s when Billy White Shoes Johnson did the "Funky Chicken Dance" and Ickey Woods did the "Ickey Shuffle" after his team scored touchdowns. I even chuckled at Chad Johnson's version of "Riverdance" in the end zone when he scored against the Bears.
Those kind of good-natured escapades added to the fun of the moment. But these celebrations have evolved from just fun to pure egoistic displays. I think it started with Terrell Owens back in 2002 when, after scoring a touchdown, he reached into his sock, pulled out a Sharpie, and then signed the football. Toss in Deon Sanders and his Prime Time High Step, and we moved from just plain fun to "Hey, everybody, look at how incredible I am!"
That brings us to a concept I call "Extreme Over-Rejoicing." This is when someone simply does his job, but feels he has just performed something so wonderful that even he can't believe it.
Case in point. Let's say there's this defensive end. His job is to sack the quarterback. During the play, an offensive lineman misses his block and the defensive end gets the sack. That's what he is getting paid for, right? You would think he'd get some high fives, maybe a pat on the butt, and return to the defensive huddle to get ready for the next play.
But no. After the play he must stutter step for 20 yards or so, flexing his arms and bobbing his head up and down like a rooster taking credit for the sunrise. It's as though he just parted the Red Sea and walked on the moon while painting the Mona Lisa. Maybe he did make a great play, but at the end of the day, he was just doing what he was supposed to do. You can't imagine Beethoven doing the moonwalk when he scored a concerto, could you?
But that got me thinking … What if we common people bought into the "Extreme Over- Rejoicing" concept. Take, for example, when we cut the grass. Let's say we do a pretty good job … the lawn looks great. How about we extreme over-rejoice a little bit? I say let's spread our arms out wide and spin 'round and 'round, kind of like the lawnmower blade. After a while we drop to a knee, look down at the grass, and nod our head as we point down at the lawn saying, "In your face, this is my turf!"
What if wives extreme over-rejoiced after preparing a good dinner? They could stick a fork in the leftover pieces of meatloaf, wave them around in the air, and then spike 'em into a plastic food container. Not in my kitchen!
And so it would go … librarians wag their finger at the stacks after they locate a book, auto mechanics autograph a carburetor upon installing it, and the last customers to leave the store hear the manager announce, "Na, na, na, na … hey… heeeeeey … goodbye!"
Ridiculous, right? Well, maybe football players should take a hint and tone it down a bit. It's like legendary football coach Vince Lombardi once said to his players: "When you get into the end zone, act like you've been there before."
So go on out there and give it all you got, boys. Just leave the extreme over-rejoicing to those who know how to handle it. (Columnist bobs head and wags finger at computer monitor while proclaiming, "Not on my desk, Grammar Checker! I need you like an intransitive verb needs a direct object!")

CubicVR.js now supports (experimental) a few different point rendering modes for meshes. Some examples have been added to the repository to demonstrate:
Various point mode and point material test objects:
Several rendering modes including point applied to a high poly subdivision surface:
The CubicVR wiki has been updated with the latest CubicVR build instructions for dreamcast. And now includes instructions for setting up dc-load-ip and compiling / running examples with the broadband adapter; serial instructions will be added soon. I've switched from the SD-Card based KOS release in favor of the official repository which uses BBA/Serial method only; there were build and compatibility issues, conflicts over the FAT file system copyright as well as debugging via SD Card was extremely difficult.
I posted a demo of CubicVR.js vehicle physics which is mostly a test of of the RigidVehicle class but could easily be developed into a game, I'll probably make it available as a GitHub project soon and include the easily editable Blender file for the track.
There's also a great writeup on WebGL.com about it as well: http://www.webgl.com/2012/04/webgl-demo-cubicvr-stunt-track/
The live demo can be found here and is also available in the CubicVR.js GitHub repository samples:
I've created a demo to highlight some of the new features of the CubicVR.js Landscape including dynamic deformation, optimized normal updates and image spatting. So far it's all handled in JavaScript with no additional WebGL extensions needed, however a displacement mapping update with reduced memory usage and higher performance will be added utilizing extensions where available.
The demo can be found here, there is a 500m x 500m version which should work well on most systems as well as a 1km x 1km version that is recommended only for faster graphics cards with more memory:
Editor 500m x 500m: http://cjcliffe.github.com/CubicVR.js/experiment/landscape_editor/landscape_edit_500m.html
Editor 1km x 1km: http://cjcliffe.github.com/CubicVR.js/experiment/landscape_editor/landscape_edit_1km.html
You can save your landscapes and load them again by dragging the save file back into the browser; note that you can't currently drag save files from the 1km to 500m version and vice versa (well you can, but it makes a mess).
WebGL.com also had a nice write-up about the Landscape demo: http://www.webgl.com/2012/07/webgl-demo-landscape-editor-cubicvr-js/
I'm excited to have backed the Oculus Rift on Kickstarter and eagerly await my dev kit, in the meantime I've done some stereo rendering experiments in CubicVR.js and have added a simple StereoCameraRig class with 5 different modes available by default. The demo can be found here:
There's Oculus Rift experimental mode, which is just a quick PostProcessShader I created to bend the split stereo image to look like it did in the Kickstarter video along with matching the field of view specifications; so it's probably all kinds of wrong but at least it's ready to plug in the right values when I can get access to the SDK.
The other modes are standard red/blue, red/green for simple old-school 3D glasses, split stereo and interlace. Plain split stereo divides the display in half; this can be used with some 3D displays and also the eye swap option lets you cross your eyes to see the effect; though I don't recommend crossing them for very long :) There's also an interlace mode which may work with some 3D TV and computer displays with appropriate glasses. Minimal testing done so far so it all probably needs some tweaking..

Shouldn't The Lamb have been included in Part I? Anyway, that album is a bit (and I hate to use this word) overrated - personally I like the previous 3 albums better.
I haven't heard any full albums post-Gabriel, but I finally got around to picking up A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering last week.

Use its rich, slow-simmered herb-and-tomato goodness as a starting point for dinner, be it chili, braised lamb, poached eggs, or baked pasta.
An Essential Ingredient for the Healthy Cook
Of all the shortcut ingredients for the healthy cook, a good marinara is one of the finest because it delivers the pleasures of slow-cooking—in a jar. If you've ever put up your own sauce, you know the work involved. A good factory marinara (and please see the buying notes on the next slide, because there are a few things to look for) is thick, packed with flavor from herbs and garlic, and, above all, tastes like concentrated summery-tomatoey goodness. Think about what those qualities can do for your everyday cooking: add body to stew or chili; make a tangy braising liquid for meaty lamb shanks; and turn out hearty, gooey baked pasta.

General Discussion
There are seventeen species of birds that are the known carriers of and transmit West Nile Encephalitis (WNE) to humans via the Culex, Aedes, and Anopheles mosquitoes. WNE first causes symptomatic or asymptomatic illness in wild migratory birds that act as viral replication factories. Wild birds infected with WNE contain high titers of the virus and remain viremic for 1-2 weeks, making them ideal hosts to perpetuate the disease. Mosquitoes transmit WNE from birds to humans. Horses, dogs, and other small animals may harbor WNE after being bitten; however, they are inefficient transmitters because viral titers are relatively low, and WNE viremia is short-lived in these animals.

Three days after a massive spill of molasses muddied up the waters of Honolulu Harbor the shipping company responsible for the spill says there was no contingency plan for a spill of this nature.
At a press conference near Pier 38 Thursday, Matson Navigation Co. officials admitted that they have a plan in place for a petroleum or chemical spill, but that no course of action was in place or will be taken in response to the 233,000-gallon spill of molasses.
"Do we have a fully developed response plan on molasses? Not to great detail," said Vic Angoco, Senior Vice President of Matson's Pacific Division. "It's not as easy to put booms out there to collect molasses. "
Experts now say the nearly three-million-pound molasses spill could stick around for weeks.
The molasses spill was caused by Matson's faulty pipe under Pier 52 at Honolulu Harbor, which happened around 9 a.m. Monday.
Angoco said the leak in the pipe has been repaired and will undergo tests before it is used to pump molasses again.
"The line (pipe) is fully charged. The leak occurred in that area that was not in use and we weren'tt aware of it until it came to our attention Monday," Angoco said.
He added that the pipeline is pressurized much like residential plumbing system and that the section that burst is not normally used for molasses.
The Department of Health has confirmed that thousands of dead fish have been recovered as a result of the spill. They will be the lead agency to deal with the sugary mess.
Members of the Department of Land and Natural Resources are also concerned how the muddied waters will affect the coral and algae populations within the harbor. They are urging people to not consume any of the fish caught in the affected areas.
Over half of Honolulu Harbor is believed to be affected. The murky brown water and stench of dead fish was noticeable across Sand Island facing Honolulu Harbor.
DOH believes that the worst of the spill is over and that is should not affect the entire south shore.
Signs of improvement popped up around the harbor with some live fish seen swimming in the affected area.
Meanwhile, Matson has setup a claims hotline for any businesses that may have suffered as a result of the spill.
"We take pride in being good stewards of the land. Good stewards of the ocean," said Angoco. "In this case we didn't live up to our standards and we truly sorry for that."

DATE:November 5,2002
TO:State Directors of Vocational-Technical Education
State Directors of Community, Technical and Junior Colleges
State Tech-Prep Coordinators
FROM: Maurice James
Acting Director
Division of High School, Postsecondary and Career Education>
SUBJECT: Clarification Questions and Answers to Assist in Completing the Consolidated Annual Performance, Accountability, and Financial Status Reporting (CAR) Instrument
The Office of Management and Budget has approved the Consolidated Annual Performance, Accountability, and Financial Status Reporting (CAR) instrument for the State Basic grant and Tech-Prep grant programs under the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998, P.L. 105-332.
The CAR instrument has been revised in part to include recommendations from states and departmental staff. The initial instrument was occasionally unclear and confusing, which required additional clarifications. We have discontinued the collection of some data elements in order to reduce burden and have identified the specific changes within the collection instrument for clarification (see Q & A's). Recognizing that some states may not collect individual student data in the format shared within the new basic grant and tech prep collection system, we encourage states to report this data in the "Gender Unknown" cells for this reporting period. (For example some states may not collect ethnicity or special population data by gender, if that is the case, the state may include totals in the "gender unknown" cells).
The CAR instrument can be downloaded from the following websites: www.edcountability.net and www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ovae/pi/memorandums.html.
Finally, I would like to thank those of you who offered us recommendations during the course of developing this instrument and look forward to continued collaboration on ways to improve the CAR during years 4 and 5 reporting program years.
Q. What are the major revisions to the CAR instrument to decrease burden?
A. The three major revisions to the CAR instrument are:
- The removal of reporting student enrollment data by "career cluster."
- The elimination of the "Military" Placement and Retention sub-indicator and allowing states to report these students on the "Employment" Placement and Retention form.
- The inclusion of the "Gender Unknown" category to report data.
Q. If a state chooses not to use the web-based data collection system to report data, are they required to use the OMB approved Excel forms?
A. Yes. States are required to use the OMB approved Excel forms downloadable from the PCRN website at www.edcountability.net to report their data. This helps eliminate inaccuracies during the transferring of CAR data to DHSPCE's central database.
Q. What are the procedures for States wanting to report three major populations (Secondary, Postsecondary and Adult) categories?
A. Those States wanting to report three major populations - secondary, postsecondary, and another category such as technical schools or adult education centers should report in the following manner:
- Secondary data must be reported in the section entitled "Secondary" on each Core and Sub Indicator form
- Postsecondary (collegiate, AA degree granting institution) data must be reported in the section entitled "Postsecondary" on each Core and Sub Indicator form
- Adult (e.g. Tech Centers, Adult Evening School) data may be reported in the section entitled "Postsecondary" on the "Adult" form. States may duplicate the OMB approved Excel forms, as necessary.
- Additional Measures (Cost, Drop-outs, other academic areas e.g. English, Math and Science) data may be reported on the "Additional Measures" forms. States may duplicate the OMB approved Excel forms, as necessary.
Q. When a state reports Basic Grant and Tech Prep Student Enrollment data, is the Tech Prep student enrollment a subset of the Basic Grant student enrollment?
A.Yes. The Basic Grant student enrollment data includes all vocational students and the Tech Prep student is disaggregated on the Tech Prep Student Enrollment form.
Q. How should a state complete the forms, if they are unable or do not collect data by the required categories?
A. In instances where the state is unable or do not collect data by the required categories, zero should be indicated in the cells. This includes ethnic data.
Q. What is the difference between N/P and zero in a cell?
A. An N/P (Not Provided) is in a cell it means that the State has attempted to collect data from the locals or institutions; such data was not provided (N/P) by or could not be obtained by the local education agencies or institutions. It is the States' responsibility to attempt to get the information. An N/P reported will be counted, aggregated, as a zero. A "0" (zero) in the cell means that the State has received confirmation that there are no students in the category.
Q. How many digits after the decimal point should states report the level of performance percentages?
A. States should report the level of performance percentages two digits after the decimal.
Q. Is there a place to report students who did not provide their gender?
A. Yes. These students should be reported in "Gender Unknown" cells on the forms. (For example: if you have 10 students 3 females and 5 males, 2 students who did not identify their gender report these students in the "Gender Unknown" cell.)
Q. Why does some data appear in red in the "View Status" screen of the web-based data collection system? Also, should I proceed to approve and submit the data?
A. The data appears in red because of the system edit checks (see attachment.). Yes. You should proceed to approve and submit the CAR.
Q. When I have completed the OMB approved Excel forms what are the next steps for submission?
A. There are two options for submitting the OMB approved Excel forms: Option 1: Logon to the web-based data collection system website and follow the instructions on the "Table of Content" screen to upload the OMB approved Excel forms and narrative. Option 2: Submit the OMB approved Excel forms electronically to: email@example.com and cc: a copy to the state liaison.
Q. Are all States required to use the web-based reporting system and what is the deadline for reporting?
A. No. States are not required to use the web-based reporting system. However, all States are strongly encouraged to use the user-friendly web-based reporting system. This will facilitate report submission and assure a more accurate transfer of data. The deadline date for reporting is December 31, 2002.
Q. Will extensions be granted for the year 3 reporting period?
A. We do not anticipate the granting of extensions to the reporting requirement. One consequence for a State that misses the deadline submission is it will affect their eligibility for an incentive grant.
Q. Should a State submit a paper CAR?
A. Yes, a paper submission of the CAR is possible however, it is not advised due to the possibility of multiple transcribing errors. A State must submit a signed and dated coversheet to:
U.S. Department of Education
Office of Vocational and Adult Education
Division of High School, Postsecondary and Career Education

My son (who is 6m old today!) was EBF for the first four and a half months of life...he only had/tried a bottle a couple of times, with limited success.
I went back to work when he was 4 1/2 months and he had problems taking a bottle. We tried different kinds and finally tried Born Free sippy training cups (I really want to use the BPA free ones). We wasted so much money on different bottles!
Anyway, he barely drinks from the cups (anywhere from 1oz to 4oz during the eight hours I'm away from him).
I had wanted to wait until 6m to start solids, but we ended up starting him at 5m1w because we hoped it would be a way to get some susentance into him during his daycare hours. Plus he had the readiness signs...
At first he totally gobbled down the rice cereal (no nutritional value, I know, but at least it was a way to sneak in another ounce or two of breastmilk) and he did the same with avocado the next week.
Then he got sick for the first time. He stopped eating the cereal at daycare and we had zero luck with solids at home.
Now he's back to occasionally taking the solids at daycare, but he is still picky about the solids at home (avocado, banana, yams).
I don't know what to do. I don't know how to progress. I don't like introducing new foods during the week because it's mid afternoon by the time we get home...he's ravenous and I'm desperate to nurse him, and then it's too late in the day to introduce a new solid (in the event of an allergic reaction). I don't think he's ready for two meals of solids yet either.
Sorry this is convoluted...but if anyone has any ideas or at least reassurance that he won't starve himself... ? The daycare people keep saying I should bring in jars of regular solids (yams or avocado or bananas), but I don't know if he's ready for that... Oh, we've been making our own baby food too. Thanks for any tips, advice or support!

Contact your pediatrician regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.
A patient package insert for the product will be given with each prescription and refill. Read this sheet carefully each time. The sheet may change frequently.
They need to know if you have or ever had any of these conditions:
- abnormal vaginal bleeding
- blood vessel disease or blood clots
- breast, cervical, endometrial, ovarian, liver, or uterine cancer
- dementia
- diabetes
- gallbladder disease
- heart disease or recent heart attack

- pregnant or trying to get pregnant
- breast-feeding
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses.
Visit your doctor or health care professional for regular checks on your progress. You will need a regular breast and pelvic exam and Pap smear while on this medicine. You should also discuss the need for regular mammograms with your health care professional, and follow his or her guidelines for these tests.
This medicine can make your body retain fluid, making your fingers, hands, or ankles swell. Your blood pressure can go up. Contact your doctor or health care professional if you feel you are retaining fluid.
If you have any reason to think you are pregnant, stop taking this medicine right away and contact your doctor or health care professional.
Smoking increases the risk of getting a blood clot or having a stroke while you are taking this medicine, especially if you are more than 35 years old. You are strongly advised not to smoke.
If you wear contact lenses and notice visual changes, or if the lenses begin to feel uncomfortable, consult your eye doctor or health care professional.
This medicine can increase the risk of developing a condition (endometrial hyperplasia) that may lead to cancer of the lining of the uterus. Taking progestins, another hormone drug, with this medicine lowers the risk of developing this condition. Therefore, if your uterus has not been removed (by a hysterectomy), your doctor may prescribe a progestin for you to take together with your estrogen. You should know, however, that taking estrogens with progestins may have additional health risks. You should discuss the use of estrogens and progestins with your health care professional to determine the benefits and risks for you.
If you are going to have surgery, you may need to stop taking this medicine. Consult your health care professional for advice before you schedule the surgery.
Keep out of the reach of children.

August 17, 2011 —
As September nears, volunteers involved with the 9/11 World Trade Center (WTC) Memorial Monument in the Town of Highland continue working to complete tasks and to raise the necessary funds to establish the community site. But can it be done?
Planning for the project began when the town learned it would receive a steel І-beam artifact from the WTC. A task force was formed and has completed design work, lined up artisans, masons, landscapers and laborers and begun raising funds.
Steel sculptors Janet Rutkowski and Walter Kenul have created a monument that will be the centerpiece of the memorial park. The project also includes the restoration of town memorials honoring veterans and members of the armed services. Five separate stone tablets will be erected for those who served in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and for all others who have served America.
So as not to compete with the many events already scheduled for September 11, the public is invited to join together in Eldred on September 10 at 6 p.m. for the dedication of the 9/11 WTC Monument. An additional dedication for "Heroes' Park," which will include the remaining five monuments, has been scheduled for November 11.
With less than a month remaining before September 11, half of the funds necessary to complete the project have been raised. According to town supervisor Andy Boyar, who is serving as chairman of the task force, pieces of the project are coming together as supporters step forward offering help in various ways. The project is proceeding with faith in the generosity of community members and a great deal of donated time, materials and services.
From the beginning, supporters have emerged as if they were meant to. Most recently, Ron Coldone, a professional sign maker, approached Boyar to offer his services in donating signage for the memorial. Electrician Hermann Wyss will contribute his expertise and developer Steve Dubrovsky will take care of the special low-energy lighting being installed. Ziggy Sarna installed the concrete footer, while highway superintendent Norm Sutherland and other highway workers have donated many hours of their own time; excavator Jim Akt transported the huge bluestone base; Tom Kuck obtained the pavers and wall material; Nick Roes and Dorene Hanson have taken on fundraising; and countless others have just "showed up" to help, said Boyar.
Despite such generosity, funds are still needed and volunteers recently gathered to stuff envelopes for a community-wide fundraising effort. "Even though we have volunteers, we will still have $22,000 in hard costs," said Doreen Hanson, secretary of the group.
Boyar added, "Building a monument like this takes a lot of commitment from many people but it also takes money."
People can support the project by making a direct donation or by purchasing an engraved "memory brick" to remember or honor a loved one or to memorialize a donation. The brick will be engraved according to the donor's wishes and will be made a permanent part of the memorial pavilion.
Donations can be sent to Town of Highland WTC Memorial Fund, Inc., Dept. 911, P.O. Box 91, Eldred NY 12732. Online contributions can be made at http://highlandwtc [2] memorialfund.com. For more information call Boyar at 845/557-8319.

CHICAGO – Gordon Beckham would rather not envision an Opening Day when Paul Konerko does not pick up his glove and jog to his familiar workplace at first base.
But Beckham knows that day will come for his friend, teammate and soon-to-be groomsman.
"I don't want to think about it," Beckham said. "But, yeah, I do.
"There is a day that he will not be out there. I know that because he's talked to me about it. At some point, he will stop. And he's not really going to be one to just fizzle out."
It's not clear what comprises the opposite of a fizzle.
Whatever it is, Monday might have marked Konerko's no-fizzle finale to Sox season openers. He went hitless but watched Chris Sale vex the Kansas City Royals en route to a 1-0 win in front of a season-high crowd (ha, ha) of 39,012 at U.S. Cellular Field.
Konerko, 37, has been a spring fixture for Sox fans since "The Matrix" aired in theaters, Steve Forbes campaigned for president and the looming "Y2K" crisis dominated fear-driven newscasts. It was April 5, 1999, and a much younger and marginally faster Konerko batted in the cleanup spot between Frank Thomas and Magglio Ordonez.
Konerko blasted a two-run homer that day against Seattle Mariners starter Jeff Fassero. However, that's not what he remembers most about his first opening series with the Sox.
"I just remember after that series, we got home at like 8 in the morning because we played a night game," Konerko said. "It was light out. We were driving home from Midway Airport in the morning in rush-hour traffic coming into the city. That was a lot of fun."
Every year, the traffic gets worse. Every year, Konerko seems to get better.
But nobody can play forever.
Including Monday, 15 season openers have passed since Konerko joined the Sox via trade from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Konerko has more at-bats (55), hits (22) and RBIs (15) during Opening-Day games than some players accumulate in a season.
Not even Konerko could deny that 15 season openers with the Sox, including a team-record 13 consecutive starts at first base, was a big deal.
"I'm probably most proud of that as far as from a personal standpoint," Konerko said.
That's pretty impressive when you consider some of Konerko's other numbers: 2,183 hits, 422 home runs, 1,336 RBIs and six All-Star selections.
"Any statistic I have, anything you can throw out there, someone else has done it or someone else is doing it," Konerko said. "There's so many guys that are good in this game and way better than I've been. But I take pride in that [opening day] number because that number gets real small when you start breaking it down."
Naturally, Konerko doesn't want to break down whether this is his final tour with the Sox. He speaks in five-minute filibusters about staying focused on today.
But Konerko's contract will expire at the end of the season.
He could decide to call it quits. He might choose to play closer to his home in Arizona. He could join a big-payroll World Series contender. He could return to the Sox.
Regardless, Konerko isn't talking about The End. He claims not to think about it, either.
"Not really," said Konerko, who was showered with chants of "Paul-ie, Paul-ie," as he stepped to the plate in the eighth inning. "Every now and again, I get asked questions like that, so then I have to think about it."
The Sox and Konerko have gone down this road before.
After the Sox won the World Series in 2005, Konerko spent a month as a free agent before re-signing with the team. The same thing happened after the 2010 season.
Rick Hahn was part of the Sox front office on both occasions.
"I think at least on one of those occasions we ran the tribute video in his last at-bat," said Hahn, now general manager. "I'm sure we'll do that at the end of this season.
"Each time, we've been able to work something out. It's been a matter at the end of the season sitting down with Paul and hearing where his thoughts are and our thoughts are and being able to come to some sort of agreement."
On one topic, every Sox fan can agree.
Opening Day is better with Konerko in the lineup.

- Title
- A scalable and portable structure for conducting successful year-long undergraduate software team projects
- Author(s)
- Keogh, Kathleen; Sterling, Leon; Venables, Anne
- Abstract
- Year-long team projects with external clients provide a well recognized opportunity for students to gain industry experience, whilst being supported and guided by staff to minimize risks. Each group should be supervised to ensure that they have enough direction and confidence to approach a new problem of significant size, without being daunted. A structure is needed that is flexible and adaptable to suit various institutional cultures but, at the same time, provides the safety net to ensure that success is likely. This paper presents a reflective analysis of teaching at three different institutions and presents the resulting distilled wisdom of experience that has produced a structured framework for capstone project units. The proposed structure is scalable to any class size and portable across institutions and potentially across technical disciplines. The structure leads to team student projects that are successfully engaging and provide excellent experience toward producing work-ready graduates. The structure is flexible in design so that the teaching workload does not increase too much as class sizes increase, but students are still well supported with appropriate scaffolding and mentoring. We detail the key factors in our framework: careful project selection, appropriate sign posts, and helpful guides that together improve upon overall project success. We argue that students need appropriate projects, 'good' clients, and a well formed team. The sign posts support students through the 'uncharted waters' of ill-defined problem-based learning. Sign posts include: deliverables, deadlines, team notebook, progress reports, and accountable time-tracking. Helpful guides spread the teaching workload broadly: relying on cultural expectations, technology, team supervisor, feedback, and clear marking guidelines. This structure has been successfully implemented in at least three different universities in Australia and several remote partner teaching sites in different countries over many years. We have provided case study examples of implementations in three different Australian Universities: a large urban university (The University of Melbourne), a small urban university (Victoria University) and a regional university (The University of Ballarat). Students benefit from such an experience in their final stages of an undergraduate computing degree. The scaffolding and support provided by the structure enables students to improve their skills in technical development, communication, team work, project management and client negotiation. The project unit provides opportunities for independent self directed learning and realistic experiences in an environment that allows for experiential learning. Students are engaged when working with real problems for real industry clients. Our student feedback supports our view that students' confidence in their ability to manage a project is enhanced through their project experience. Based on our own observations and anecdotal feedback, we believe that our students benefit and are helped to become 'industry ready' graduates through the learning experienced in the capstone project course. This same structure could be used successfully in similar programs. We would encourage others to consider adapting this framework to their institutional context, as we have collectively found it a positive model to help us manage the considerable workload in offering successful year long undergraduate software projects with clients.

August 9, 2012 —
Right now, as I type this late on a Wednesday night, my Internet service is down. (Oh horrors!) So I don't have immediate access to all the websites, quotations and statistics that I might wish to use to construct my argument. All I have in front of me is the latest issue, just arrived today, of the Northeast Pennsylvania Business Journal (NPBJ).
Most areas of the country, I believe, have publications like this, aimed at the business community, featuring the latest promotions in the local business world, analysis of economic trends, news about legislation and government policy, op-eds about human resource management—stuff like that. It makes for interesting reading. At the moment, for example, I am looking at an article entitled "Study: Defense cuts would cost more than 1 million jobs"—and I hope I can find some words to convey the combination of outrage, frustration and disgust that this story makes me feel.
The story is printed without a byline, so I am guessing it is in essence a press release from those dear folks at National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) touting their latest study, "Defense Spending Cuts: The Impact in Economic Activity and Jobs." The headline on the NPBJ's cover conveys the key idea: "Jobs poised over abyss." The NAM, it seems, is deathly worried about the possible effects on our economy if automatic budget cuts, scheduled for later this year under the 2011 budget deal (remember all that kerfuffle about the debt ceiling?), should actually come to pass. The deal, you may recall, included a plan for "balanced" budget cuts over the next 10 years—$600 billion from defense, $600 billion from the rest of the "discretionary" budget (you know, all that squishy touchy-feely stuff like education, housing, health care) that would take effect if Congress couldn't come up with an alternate deficit-reduction plan. (That's only "balanced," by the way, if you don't look at the percentages. $600 billion gets you a lot more teachers, policemen and food safety inspectors than it does aircraft carriers.)
People were surprised that the GOP agreed to even the possibility of defense cuts, but now their overall strategy becomes clear, and is well-exemplified by this NAM "study:" we'll simply scare the populace into undoing the defense portion of the deal, while keeping the cuts in social spending. To do this, the defense establishment, to put it bluntly, is holding a gun to the head of the American workforce. "Maintain our funding," say Raytheon and McDonnell Douglas and Lockheed Martin, "or else the workers get it!" At the same time, they and their media mouthpieces terrorize the American people with dire predictions of a weakened America, unable to stem the dark hordes at our borders, or control "our" resources overseas. "Maintain defense funding," bark the right-wing pundits, "or else our granddaughters will wear burkas!"
Cynical manipulation? Oh yeah. Baldfaced deception? You betcha. Likely to succeed? No doubt—unless enough of us insist that the defense establishment, which has benefited so very handsomely from the deficit spending of the past, must be made to take their fair share of the budget-cutting pain.

Deputy hurt in crashBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | January 28,2013A Rutland County Sheriffs deputy was hurt in a crash in Killington on Sunday.
Vermont State Police said Deputy Jayson Flood, 33, was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center for unknown back, neck, and head injuries after his cruiser, a 2006 Ford Crown Victoria, was involved in a collision with a 2002 Jeep Wrangler.
A hospital spokeswoman said Floods condition was fair Sunday evening.
Police said Flood was driving east on Route 4 near Pico ski area at around 2:45 p.m. and the Jeep, driven by Andrew J. Palmer, 37, of Rutland, was behind him.
Flood activated his emergency lights and veered right in preparation to make a U-turn, according to police, but Palmer tried to drive around him rather than obey and utilize caution when emergency vehicle lights were activated.
The cruiser sustained severe damage to the drivers side, according to police, while the Jeep sustained dents and scrapes to its passenger side.
Police said speed and alcohol were not factors in the crash. They did not indicate why Flood was making the U-turn. A dispatcher for the Rutland County Sheriffs Department said they could not comment on the crash as it was still under investigation by state police.
The Vermont State Police were assisted by members of the Rutland County Sheriffs Department, Rutland City Police Department, Regional Ambulance Service, and the Killington Ski Resort.

Nationwide search brings best home cooks to Los Angeles to compete for the "MasterChef" title
Top finalists revealed Wednesday, May 29
Award-winning chef Gordon Ramsay, restaurateur Joe Bastianich and acclaimed chef Graham Elliot return for season four of the culinary smash hit "MasterChef" with a two-hour season premiere on Wednesday, May 22 (8 p.m.), on FOX.
More hopefuls than ever before auditioned at "MasterChef's" open casting calls in Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, Nashville, New York, Portland, and San Diego to prove they have what it takes to make a mark on the culinary world. Only one hopeful will join season three winner Christine Ha, the first-ever blind contestant; season two champion Jennifer Behm; and season one winner Whitney Miller in the elite group of "MasterChef" titleholders.
The best home cooks in America were flown to Los Angeles to present their signature dishes to the judges and the chance to compete for the coveted title of "MasterChef," a cookbook deal and the $250,000 grand prize. This season will feature contestants representing 26 states from all walks of life - including an archaeologist, a high school gym teacher, a former pro football player, a biochemist, a student, a firefighter, a paralegal and a delivery driver - all with the hopes of turning their culinary dreams into reality.
In the premiere episode, the hopefuls will prepare their signature dishes and present them to the distinguished "MasterChef" judging panel: Ramsay (Gordon Ramsay Steak, Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill), Bastianich (Del Posto, Osteria Mozza) and Elliot (Graham Elliot, g.e.b.). The judges will taste for flavor, creativity and presentation.
In order to earn a coveted white apron and move to the next round, the home cooks must have an immense passion for food and be determined to win. Above all, they must convince the judges - who will taste for flavor, creativity and presentation - that they have the potential to out-cook all their rivals.
The auditions continue Wednesday, May 29 (8 p.m.), as the judges winnow down the competition by granting white aprons to the best home cooks. Only 40 hopefuls will move onto the next round and compete in an intense lamb challenge. By the end of the episode, only the top home cooks who impress the judges will advance to the "MasterChef" kitchen and compete to become America's next master chef.
Fans can "Like" "MasterChef" on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MasterChef, follow the series on Twitter @MASTERCHEFonFOX, and join the discussion at #masterchef.

Lesson learned the hard way
There's value in making good decisions when it comes to auto repairs
By Jennifer Hadley 09/02/2009
I'm a little bit impetuous. OK, that's a bald-faced lie — I'm completely impetuous. But
for the most part, I can live with the haphazard decisions I make. Some of them I'm forced to live with, like the tattoo I decided to
get on my neck after about 15 minutes of consideration. However, as I've learned the hard way this week, when it comes to repairing my car, maybe I should exercise a little more diligence before making rash decisions.
I was leaving the Ralphs parking lot in my banged-up Xterra that I crashed last month, when a guy pulled up next to me and said "Hey, I can fix that dent. $250." He had a big magnetic advertisement on his truck advertising his mobile body shop. The price was right. I called him when I got home, and arranged for him to come to my house and fix my car immediately. He even agreed to fix it for $175.
Together we assessed the damage and he let me know he could fix it easily and cheaply. In fact, according to him, if I took it to a body shop, they'd charge me $1,200 to $1,500 for the repair. I was skeptical, but the dent was really annoying me. For 175 bucks, I figured why not? He went to work on my truck in the alley behind my apartment.
Within 20 minutes he called and said he needed to show me something. He'd popped the dents out, revealing cracked paint, and my fender was out of alignment. "See this," he said, pointing to my fender. "Frame's messed up. It's going to take longer, so it's going to be the original price." I asked politely what the original price was and he said $350. Hmmm. We ended up settling on $300, cash only. And he needed petty cash on the spot to go buy the paint. I gave him the $13 I had in my wallet and headed for the bank.
Walking to my bank, I was regretting my decision and cursing my impetuousness for getting me into this mess. The whole deal was clearly shady. But now this guy knew where I lived. I'd also helpfully let him know that I write the Wheels column, and had even given him a recent copy of the Pasadena Weekly. There was no going back. Rats.
I came back home and he was filling in the remaining dents and scrapes with some kind of powdery putty substance. I sighed, looked at my truck and went back inside, waiting for him to call me when it was finished.
About an hour later, the repair job was done. He was incredibly proud of the work, assuring me that my truck looked as good as new. It did not. It was spray-painted black and a tiny fly was stuck in the paint. The fender remained a bit out of alignment.
Did it look better than before? Absolutely. But did it look good? No. Still, he promised me a free wax a week later that would "really bring out the shine." I just needed to call him, and he'd come back over. I forked over the $300 and pulled the freshly spray-painted Xterra into the garage. He still hasn't come by to wax the car, and it's been over a week.
All the same, there's a lesson to be learned here: Never again will I agree to pay someone for a service that I know nothing about. I could (read: should) have researched this type of repair before doling out my address to a complete stranger. I could have stopped him before he filled in the dents with magic powder and spray paint, and taken my car instead to a repair shop. But I didn't. There's no one to blame but myself.
Still, my Xterra does look better, so at the risk of offering unsolicited advice, I'd say if you bang up your car and you just need it to look better — not perfect — this type of repair may be right up your alley. I got what I paid for: a $313 repair. But I learned an invaluable lesson that is sure to benefit me for years to come.
There are some things in life worth splurging on, such as reinforced garbage bags or the occasional pair of Versace sunglasses. And now I'll add auto body work to that list.

I've got lots to say so I keep plugging away
Did you see the special on the MLB Channel called Nine Innings from Ground Zero?
It follows the Yankees and the D-Backs and during the 2001 World Series just after the 911 attacks. Watch that show and try not to not get moist eyeballs.
You won't make it.
That special was very touching and extremely well put together. The part when the little girl wrote a letter to Derek Jeter just after her dad died (her dad was one of the pilots), and she got to meet him and go to Yankee Stadium. That part choked me up. That was a classy thing to do.
As much as I say I hate the Yankees now, as a young boy in New Jersey (before we moved to Canada), I loved them. Props to the D-Backs, that was a GREAT World Series.
When I see a show like that it makes me proud to be an American and it also reaffirms why I love baseball.
Baseball really is the best sport in the world, and the only one where I feel like I get to participate.
Sure I really dig football and basketball and I miss them in their off-seasons.
But I daydream of baseball. I look at the schedule and plan what games I'll be attending. I love figuring out which games will be primo "snagging days".
I try to make sure that I make all of the games where bobble heads or other Rockies promotional gifts are handed out.
I go over my spring training/Tucson trip in my head daily, and it's the last thing I think about before I fall asleep.
Well that's not exactly true, lately my last thought has been about hopping in my car and hitting the 7-11 for a pack of cigarettes.
Day 6-Smoke free baby. I must say I'm not feeling like the friendliest fellow right now, but those who know me understand my situation and just ignore me. I've got a few more days worth of patches and then that's it. I know at this point it's mostly mental, but the brain can be a powerful thing when it wants something.
That same inner voice that keeps me out of trouble is the same one telling me to smoke, it can be confusing to a simple guy like me.
Normally I never ask for help. I'm extremely independent and I've always set my own path and did my own thing, learning from my mistakes (usually).
Normally I'm the guy that people come to for advice (it helps when most of yoru friends are younger).
Without going into a lot of details, I've seen some sheet in my lifetime and I can give people the benefit of my experiences, without them actually having to take that path.
I guess what I'm trying to say is "Thank You" to my readers who have been supportive of me in this "hellistic adventure" called quitting smoking. I'll be there for you, and I appreciate you being there for me in my time of need. Baseball folk are straight up good people.
Baseball snaggers beware, I'll be out there this season with a semi-fresh set of lungs and a new attitude. Naa, same attitude, just better air intake.
Hey Zack Hample when are you coming to Coor's Field again?
No first row tickets for you this time buddy. You're in the Pavilion with the Ranter and "it is on" my friend!!
Don't take that as anymore than a friendly challenge. When I'm snagging in the Pavilion anywhere other then than first row, my only competition usually is my son Hunter.
When I'm fortunate enough to be snagging in the first row, I'm just a rookie there. Guys like Dan, Robert, Dave, and Danny own that row. I watch my P's and Q's and try to be respectful.
Hunter's got the system down, just don't interfere and snag one of the baseballs he thinks was thrown directly to him.
We're still working on that particular scenario. He's super competitive and REALLY hates to lose.
I don't know where the hell he gets that from.
I plan on letting Hunter have a paragraph or two on this blog during the season to share his own snagging story with you.
It will be good for him and he usually has a good story to tell.
I've heard Hunter ask his mom if he's famous because his daddy's a Rockies blogger, that's my guy. I really enjoy the times I get to go to Rockies games with Hunter. Mylee too when she feels like going. Mylee likes the promotional giveaways, and Hunter is just a straight up baseball snagger.
It's fun going to batting practice now that I know a lot more people. I'm not such a loner anymore. It's cool to seeing and recognizing the same faces at the games. Getting to hang around people that are as excited about being there as I am.
Here are my goals for this baseball season.
1. Catch my elusive live home run ball, I'm tired of watching Happy's videos and wishing it was me.
2. Snag 100 baseballs at batting practice. Easier said than done, when you make only half of the home games.
3. Personally obtain an autographed baseball of every player on the Rockies 40 man roster.
4. I would love the Rockpile Ranter to be the Rockies unofficial mascot (Hey, I can dream). Sort of like the barrel man for the Broncos.
I always do the best I can do to plug the Rockies? The sad part is there is probably not a single Rockies player who knows who the hell I am at this point. This leads me to number five.
5. Get the Rockies organization to take note of the Rockpile Ranter and his efforts and realize what a useful promotional tool I can be. The Rockies need more love. I'm just here to help in my own special way.
I think MLB TV Network should give MLBloggers opportunities to be the person who gets to say "play ball" like the hosts do now. It could be like a 5 second clip of us getting to say that and MLB could post the name of our blog on the bottom of the screen.
That would be really cool and cheap. I'd shoot that clip for free. Plus how cool would I look on TV saying "Play ball". Remember doing stuff like that is a win/win situation for MLB network. Nobody loses when you plug your own blogging community on your own TV channel.
How about letting us send in our own homemade video clips?
We could pick a theme and shoot a video to promote our blogs in our own creative ways?
That would be fun to see. So much talent here.
Oh yeah, I'm already thinking of some sweet ideas. How about from the Rockies Rockpile or how about me with a baseball glove and a bull horn on top of Pikes Peak?
That's a pretty big Rockpile.
MLBlogs.com I'm full of ideas, it would be nice to see you run with one of them. No worries, I'll keep casting them your way in hopes of a bite or even a nibble or not.
On a curious note: What happened to October Gonzo? He came in, gobbled up the front page and then disappeared? Who the hell was the mysterious Gonzo, and where is he hiding?
Witness protection? Laying low in the Hamptons? Joined the Peace corps? Maybe we'll never know, maybe we're not supposed to?
I could go on and on but I'm tired of sitting…Thanks for listening, without you I'm just a cool dude with a funny green hat…D

Hey D– I saw that show on MLB Network today – Nine Innings from Ground Zero – and I blogged on it today. I wept like a baby during it. Keep up the non-smoking! Double digit days soon!
JULIA-Thanks, I fixed that in the entry. That was a feel good story for baseball out of a horrible tragic event. It had me happy, sad and craving a cig at the same time. Life is good…D
Hey D,
Thanks man, you are the coolest!
Definitely gotta get MLB Network, I can't believe all the cool stuff I'm missing.
That's cool that you're going to have Hunter blog. It will be interesting to get his read on snagging.
Love the ideas you keep coming up with for the blogging community. And what did happen to October Gonzo. You couldn't pull up MLB without his name coming up.
Looking forward to Fan Fest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Visual: me jumping up and down screaming)
I'm so upset that I missed the Nine Innings from Ground Zero! Julia mentioned it to me, but that story about the little girl made me tear up a little just reading it and thinking about it! I'm happy that you've been able to keep up with not smoking, I think it's great!! And I totally agree with you about us bloggers getting to say play ball. They really should incorporate us more into that show– we're just awesome like that right?
And in the post season, I have this whole idea that there should be a video of us with clips of each of us saying stuff like October Gonzo said last year. I think that it would not only bring more publicity to MLBlogs but it'd be a wicked commercial!
There's only one October!!
R-LUV-Check your e-mail.
ELIZABETH-You totally get me on this one. MLB please use us, were ok with it. Know what I mean? As I said it's a win/win thing for all involved…D
I recorded the Nine Innings from Ground Zero special. Looking forward to watching it soon. There's so many good shows on MLB Network. Today I watched a recap of the 1995 baseball season that I recorded over the weekend. The highlight for me was Ripken breaking Gehrig's record. I grew up in Maryland and was a huge Orioles fan. That was a big, big deal. Tickets were impossible for the night he broke the record, but I went to the stadium that week to catch a game and see The Bird change the game count numbers hanging from the warehouse. I also snagged one of the special programs. Still unreal to me that he hit home runs in the game he tied the record and broke it. Cal wasn't a big HR hitter, so that was pretty impressive to me. My other memory from that game was getting up at 4am to get the first copies of the Baltimore Sun and Washington Post that had all kinds of commemorative things in them. My name is Mark and I'm an MLB Network junkie…
You and I are a lot alike. Red-blooded Americans…
Way to set your goals-gotta visualize it-that's half the battle. I like the idea of your son blogging a bit-looking forward to his youthful "hawk-take."
On a side note, I think it's about time MLB starts using some of your ideas, bro. You have some good ones.
BTW, I have footage somewhere of me misplaying a game home run-would that make it better?🙂
It's only truly happened once…the homer was right on the yellow pole and I pulled back at the last second because I thought I was interfering (after that day-I vowed to hold back no more).
BP/MARK-That's a great story. Do you still have that special program?
HAPPY-Thanks man, I think we are a lot alike, that's probably why we dig each others blogs so much. I'm just hoping someday I'll get the opportunity to be able to make the decision of whether or not to interfere. It will happen this season…D
Yeah, I've got all kinds of stuff from the Orioles and their farm teams. I worked for their AA Minor League team in high school and through college and have some cool memorabila packed away.
BP-MARK-That's cool. I'm anal about packing up my stuff and keeping it in good condition. I save everything…D
Hey, D …
You have a lot of great ideas that mlblogs/mlb.com should take notice of !!! … I like the picture of you fishing; and, like you said, you just "keep casting the ideas towards mlb.com", and, maybe, one day, you will get a call, or e-mail, to discusss the details of one of your ideas being a feature on mlb.com !!! … Also, you have a great list of goals for the upcoming baseball season, and it's good to see that you are getting your son involved — I look forward to his first post on you blog !!! … Take care, and "good luck", again, with your battle to stop smoking !!! … Jimmy [27NYY], "BY&L"
JIMMY-Thank you for saying that man. As long as I know people out there like my ideas, I'll keep throwing them out there. Day 7 brotha and I'm holding my own today…D
Hey D,
Just a note to let you know I'm there for you. Hang tough and hope it's getting better.
R-LUV-It is better today… : ) D

Joe Johnstone would be a good choice. The Rocketeer is a fine film. I liked Captain America too.
It has been decapitated for sure, but much of the infrastructure still stands, and high ranking officers still controll significant numbers of ships and troops. Holding together an empire requires greater armed forces than holding together a democratic federal republic, so remaining imperial forces probably remaining on duty across the galaxy, if their commanding offcer is strong enough. They'll either surrender or try and grasp local power and create their own interstellar latifundia. The rebels have to rebuild the republic through diplomatic efforts based on trust that take more time than an invasion/occupation tactic. Also this redistribution of power will create a thousand new interest-groups who all want to come out winners locally...There are many stories left under the rubbles of the empire, so while I don't think we need to hear them, we could get some good ones with a decent group of writers.
Even in the prequels, the idea that Yoda was aligned with clone troopers--it was like, "wait, am I supposed to be rooting for them? Or not? This isn't as fun, since I can't just let go and enjoy the ride."
The bad guys are the rebels, the bad guys are the underdogs, the good guys are smug, lazy and naive.
So the treatment was officially sent out to JJ Abrams, The Beard and Brad Bird. Bird is the only one who hasn't ruled himself out. I'm going to be gutted if it's not him now.

Sauder Concert Hall
Rieth Chamber Series: Julien Labro, bandoneon, & Spektral Quartet
"Jazz," "contemporary classical" or "tango" are genre labels far too cramped to encapsulate the music of Argentine composer/pianist Fernando Otero, whose "De Ahora En Más" is featured on the record. Breathless fugues, opaque chord clusters and circular grooves here have a tincture of tango, but the language has evolved into something much more risky. Also hailing from Buenos Aires, composer/pianist Diego Schissi has similarly transformed the tango vernacular with tunes like the irrepressible "Líquido 5." Perhaps it can best be summed up in the composer's own words, in email correspondence with Labro and the quartet: "It is display of Full Power, a forceful demonstration of energy...edgy and a bit uncontrolled."
Labro and the Spektral Quartet began their collaboration after being serendipitously paired for Northwestern University's Big Squeeze accordion summit. With Piazzolla as their point of departure, the group immediately began sleuthing for more recent scores. Crafting many of the arrangements himself, Labro moved across the Argentine borders, embracing the progressive voices of Hermeto Pascoal (think the Brazilian Frank Zappa) and Miguel Zenón (Puerto Rico, New York), who appears as guest soloist on the album.
With From This Point Forward, Julien Labro and the Spektral Quartet will introduce American audiences to a largely-unheard corner of new South American repertoire, and will continue to ask, What comes next?
The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in Sauder Concert Hall. Tickets: $15, general admission. $5 for Goshen College faculty/staff/students. Available via the Welcome Center: (574) 535-7566.

I'm a working mom who pumps 4x a day and nurses when we're together. I started the pureed solids on the day my daughter turned 6 months - she's about to turn 8 months. I keep track of my ounces that I pump (more so to keep track of the time rather than the ounces) and I noticed going back to the day I started that my supply has slowly but steadily decreased. To compound matters, my pump started to die and I just replaced it yesterday. I'm not sure how much that affected my supply.
I know that solids will begin to replace breastmilk, but she's not getting that much - just enough for "fun." She gets 1-2 ounces 2x per day, 5 days per week. I don't give her anything at home at night with me, and weekends I usually don't give her anything. I guess I didn't think it would be enough to affect my supply. Does it sound right to you?
