The decision followed a presentation by an ad hoc committee of Victor Gomez, Jeff Massengill and board chairman Carroll Lohse covering the scope and design plan of the project. Gomez chaired the committee.
The funding would be via maintenance tax notes that would be issued directly by the board.
Because no tax increase is necessary, no referendum is required, according to the board's financial adviser, Victor Quiroga, Jr., senior vice president of Frost Capital Markets.
Quiroga will report to the board July 16 with bids from bond investors; the college should receive the funds Aug. 13, he says.
Repayment would be based on a 98 percent collection rate on $1.5 billion in property valuations. There would be no penalty for early payback, he added.
"The board has the right to reject the bids," Quiroga warned, "but the next time you want to do this, those investors won't be there."
The new stadium—that would seat 1,000 in a wrap-around facility with a canopy and also would include a press box, a separate field house, lockers, showers, a concession stand and restroom, ticket booths, adequate parking, a new scoreboard and a synthetic turf field—should be completed by late fall, in time for the start of games Feb. 1, although Project Superintendant Chuck McCameron told trustees construction already is a month behind.
Part of the delay is a pending use agreement with the Beeville Independent School District and indecision about whether the field would use natural grass or artificial turf.
A number of trustees, including some on the ad hoc committee, favored natural grass until they discovered that the costs for maintaining natural grass almost equaled that of artificial turf, including the need to hire an extra person.
The committee estimated that, over a decade, the cost for installing and maintaining natural grass was almost $964,000; the cost for artificial turf over the same time period is estimated at a little more than $1 million.
Gomez cited needs specific for natural grass, including seeding, growing time, weather sensitivity, special equipment, fertilizer, an irrigation system...
"Gophers!" added Trustee Martha Warner.
"With synthetic turf," Gomez continued, "you don't have to hire a maintenance man, you don't have to cut it, you don't have to water it."
He admitted he was surprised to learn that "there have been few reports of any injuries occurring on artificial turf."
"If we go with artificial turf, the stadium will be the only one in South Texas," he added.
A determining factor in choosing artificial turf, however, was revenue. Lohse explained that a natural-grass field only could be used for baseball while an artificial-turf field could have multiple uses, including commencements and renting the facility for playoffs and for concerts.
Additional revenue will be gained from advertisements on the new scoreboard and by selling ads on 8-by-20-foot panels—20 panels at $5,000 each—on the field's back fence.
"Charging a company $5,000 for a 160-square-foot sign is very reasonable," CBC President Dr. Beatriz Espinoza said. She also told the board the college already had a sponsor committed for $40,000 in advertising for the new scoreboard.
In addition, she said, sponsors who buy a panel would gain exposure to a variety of audiences from high school and college games being video-streamed on the Internet.
Other sources of revenue could include VIP packages, special seating for donors and sale of programs, tickets, concessions and paraphernalia.
Longer term benefits to the new stadium, Gomez said, included benefits to the community's hotels and restaurants and an increased sense of pride.
"Build it, and they will come," he said.

well located property with 10-15 mins walk to the centre of Sultanhemet and 10-15 min walk to the nearest tram. very close to local supermarkets, restaurants, fish market and shops. bit tricky to find but call the number provided and they will guide you. We took metro and tram from Ataturk airport and then walked to apartment. The road the apartment is in is opposite "best shoes" shop on the main road and the front door to the block is opposite the front door of the Ottoman tulip hotel. Apartment comfortable and clean, wii fi a bit patchy, water went off for a few hours twice but this is normal for Istanbul. keep kettle filled and spare water. You should enjoy your stay there.
We enjoyed our weekend stay in Istanbul and were glad that we chose to stay in this apartment.
The location was conveniently located near (15 minutes walking) many of the major tourist attractions in the historic center of Istanbul. Additionally, it was located within a couple of minutes from a tram stop in case the weather was not conducive to walking. The gentlemen that met us at the apartment to give us the keys were very courteous and waiting for us at the apartment when we arrived. The apartment was as described and perfect for 2 people. The apartment was clean and we definitely appreciated the daily housekeeping service.
As mentioned in other reviews, while not an issue for us, it's worth noting that the stairs leading to the apartment are relatively steep and narrow. All things considered, we would not hesitate to stay at this apartment again if we found ourselves in Istanbul.
Very lovely flat in a great location. It's a little smaller than it looks in the pictures, and the view of the sea is over the top of some rather crumbling rooftops, but neither of those things detracted from our enjoyment. It's a few streets away from the crowds, but only a few minutes' walk from a busy little restaurant area with great food and live music. Saban and Cem were very helpful and responsive. Highly recommended.
A great place to stay in Sultanahmet - we recommend the Penthouse Suite. Very convenient for many of the sights which were within easy walking distance. Facilities were available for preparing and eating food but with restaurants aplenty a few minutes stroll away we found ourselves out and about all day. Saban not only provided us with accommodation, he arranged an excellent excursion to Gallipoli: an emotional but worthwhile experience. Many thanks Saban.
Saban is a very obliging and helpful host who gave us a warm welcome to his comfortable well equipped apartment. A perfect size for 2 people, and we loved the view of the ships on the sea! Located in an area of 'real' Istanbul, but close to all the major sites. We really enjoyed our visit and can highly recommend staying here.
Very good service by owner of the apartment and good English (e-Mail and phone). Centrally located in old "Sultanahmet-District", about 10 minutes walk to next tram-station "Beyazit" and the "Grand Bazar" as well as about 15 minutes to "Hagia Sophia", "Blue Mosque", "Topkapi Palace" and "Gülhane Park". Ideal for sightseeing by walk. Comfortable equipment, very clean by daily cleaning service, always hot water, air condition, lovely view on Marmara sea. TV/Radio: even some German ones (via hotbird satellite). Parking facility: not used, but should be clarified in advance where exactly when needed!
I just arrived back on Saturday , from Spending a lovely time at the host saban penthouse. When we arrived , Me and partner zeynep , was very surprised by the wonderful view of the sea , and how beautiful the penthouse was. It was very cold and snowing when we arrived just afer midnite. The apartment was warm and cozy , and had a comfortable and warm bed , and 24hr hot water which was nice. We was very close to Sultan Ahmet , blue mosque , and trams to Takism square was about 30 mnutes by tram.. We planed to stay for 5 days , but had to return early due to my partner being ill. But we loved the penhouse so much , we are planning are next trip in April , and booking with saban the kind and considerate (HOST).
Thank u , saban , and we see you again soon.
Steven and Zeyno
Wir haben unsere gebuchte Suite nicht bekommen, die Suite war "overbooked".
Es wurde uns ein anderes Apartment angeboten, dunkel und mit Schimmel im
Badezimmer. Nachdem wir dieses abgelehnt hatten, bekamen wir ein ähnliches Apartment ( gleiches Haus, untere Etage ) als unser ursprünglich Gebuchtes, aber…... kein atemberaubender Blick.Wir mussten uns aktiv darum bemühen eine Teilrückerstattung der Miete zu bekommen, weil dieses Apartment deutlich günstiger ist als unser ursprünglich Gebuchtes und auch Bezahltes. Nachdem dieser Anfangshürde dann überwunden war, haben wir unsere Zeit in Istanbul sehr genossen . Der Stadt ist unbedingt empfehlungswert !
Sehr gute, empfehlenswerte Unterkunft: Nette, professionelle Vermieter, jeden Tag Wohnungsreinigung, gute Lage (Altstadt Nähe Großer Basar, alles fußläufig), Meeresblick, gute Ausstattung (Kaffeemaschine [Filtertüten besser mitbringen], Wasserkocher, Toaster, Mikrowelle, Klimaanlage), für 28 €/Tag in unserem Fall.
Vom Atatürk-Flughafen gut mit Metro/Tram zu erreichen: Mit Metro bis Aksaray, dann mit Tram bis Beyazit, dort steil abwärts auf der Gedik Pasa Cd. Die Düzgün Sk. zweigt bei dem Geschäft "Best Shoes" in der Cifte Gelinler Cd. ab. Das Appartment liegt gegenüber dem Ottoman Tulip Hotel.

Loved the podcast…"It's going to pollute my womb." Classic. I will not be able to get that one out of my head for weeks…lol
Thanks, Jenn! Glad we could help pollute your mind😉
Thanks for the shout-out, Jeff! I loved how Johanna was trying to process the fact that he was quoted over dinner. Next time, he'll have to be present to explain himself…
– Randy
Thanks & you're welcome, Randy! Jo will get over it. He likes the spotlight anyway. Don't let him make ya think otherwise😉
Brilliant as usual, 'cept one thing – the Rangers haven't wronged Michael Young in any way, he's being a whiny bitch. If his glove wasn't mediocre-to-suck, he wouldn't have been asked to switch positions so many times. He needs to suck it up, play ball, and at least attempt to earn that 16 mil/yr.
BTW, your Albert impression is awesome and spot on. Right after I finished the podcast I went in to watch Baseball Tonight and they had a clip of him talking about the Wainwright sitch. Sho' nuff, Jesus mouth ensued. *rolls eyes*
I'll have to just trust ya on that, j2. As an outsider though, ya gotta admit it looks weird, pushing around a guy who they relished with such a lucrative contract.

Bennington: FEMA Irene reimbursement still too low
BENNINGTON Town officials have one more chance to appeal a federal decision that would leave taxpayers on the hook for more than $1 million of the cost of recovering from Tropical Storm Irene.
The town spent about $3.9 million after Irene, which hit Vermont in August 2011, to remove sediment from the Roaring Branch of the Walloomsac River.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency first told the town there would be no reimbursement. But last year, after town officials appealed the decision, FEMA committed to pay $1.2 million.
That decision was also appealed. In a letter dated July 29, Paul F. Ford, acting regional administrator for FEMAs Region 1, said the towns appeal was being granted in part.
The new decision would increase the reimbursement to about $2 million, said Assistant Town Manager Dan Monks. With the states commitment for 5 percent of the cost, that would leave more than $1 million to be picked up by taxpayers.
The numbers are approximate at this stage.
FEMA officials are not denying that Bennington spent money to remove sediment from the river and strengthen its banks, but they say that isnt eligible for reimbursement under the guidelines.
Theyre saying that what we did does not meet their policies for emergency protective measures, Monks said. ... We have a plethora of data and evidence to prove otherwise and we dont believe FEMA officials have looked at that evidence.
He added, Theyve just done conclusory statements without any backup to determine that were not eligible.
Town Manager Stuart Hurd said FEMA officials failed to account for the differences between Vermont rivers and those in other states.
Theyre used to rivers like the Mississippi and the Missouri, Hurd said. Theyre not used to rivers that erode the way the Vermont rivers do .... Its a matter of educating them and theyre swamped with all the various disasters that theyre trying to work their way through.
Town officials asked for reimbursement of $3.4 million of the $3.9 million cost, because the town and the state must pay at least 10 percent.
Were not going to get to zero. We cant, Monks said. Thats just not the way the funding works, but were hoping to get to 10 percent.
Monks and Hurd said Bennington has been supported by the Shumlin administration and Vermonts congressional delegation in its attempt to get 90 percent reimbursement.
Hurd said the towns appeals so far have been to FEMAs Region 1 office in Boston. The next appeal, which must be submitted within 60 days of the July 29 letter, will be made to FEMAs main office in Washington, D.C.
Hurd said that would the towns last opportunity to appeal the case.
The town has received more FEMA support for other work, including more than $250,000 in reimbursement for removing woody debris from the river.
Hurd said the latest letter from FEMA would be discussed by the Select Board at its meeting Monday. He said he doesnt have a doubt in his mind the board will support the appeal.
A call to FEMAs office Thursday was not returned.

The Milwaukee Brewers strung together quality at-bats, got solid pitching and held onto a lead for once.
Not a bad way to close out what had been a frustrating series — or head into the All-Star break.
Wily Peralta pitched seven effective innings, Logan Schafer homered and drove in two runs and the Milwaukee Brewers ended a four-game losing streak by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 on Sunday.
"I thought it was a really nice ballgame," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "After those last three, we obviously needed to come out with a win. A lot of good things happened."
The Brewers spent the first half of the season struggling with injuries and consistency. Against Arizona, they had trouble holding leads in three frustrating games in the desert.
Milwaukee prevented the sweep by roughing up Ian Kennedy (3-6) with a string of two-strike hits and a second straight strong outing by Peralta (7-9)
The hitting came early: Four runs the first two innings against Kennedy.
Carlos Gomez hit a two-run single in the first inning, Schafer drove in another run in the second with a sacrifice bunt and added a solo homer in the fifth.
Peralta, coming off his first complete game shutout, effectively worked around base runners all day, and the bullpen held after he left, helping the Brewers end a six-game losing streak to the Diamondbacks.
A nice finish to the first half for the Brewers with a much-needed break coming up.
"It's great to close out the first half like this and hopefully we can keep it going after the break," Schafer said. "We've had some guys banged up and these four days should be good for us to get ourselves back healthy."
Swept by the Dodgers earlier in the week, Arizona responded with three impressive victories over Milwaukee.
With a chance for their first sweep of the Brewers, the Diamondbacks fell flat, unable to bounce back after Kennedy's shaky outing left him stuck on 49 career wins for the seventh straight start.
Miguel Montero homered for the second straight game, but Arizona went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position, failing to capitalize after getting the leadoff man on six times.
A dud to finish, yes, but the Diamondbacks still head into the break leading the NL West, 2 1-2 games ahead of the Dodgers at 50-45.
"We are in first place," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "We had a lot of trial and tribulations, but the team has hung in there well. We have stuck together well."
Peralta, who tossed a three-hitter against Cincinnati his last start, worked around base runners through the first four innings with the help of two double plays and a pickoff by catcher Martin Maldonado after Adam Eaton strayed too far off first in the third.
The right-hander extended his scoreless streak to 19 1-3 innings until Montero hit his first pitch of the fifth for his eighth homer.
Peralta stranded runners at second and third in the sixth inning and worked around another runner in the seventh. He allowed a run and seven hits and struck out eight.
"He's an emotional guy and you see it on the mound," Roenicke said. "You see when he's frustrated, but when he can regroup after being frustrated and make good pitches, that's what I like to see."
Kennedy's frustrations continued.
The right-hander has struggled with his put-away pitches, a big reason he's labored through the first half of the season.
Kennedy again had trouble putting hitters away against the Brewers, allowing four straight singles to open the game — all after getting ahead 0-2 or 1-2.
The fourth one was by Gomez, who lined an 0-2 pitch through the right side for a two-run single and another run came in on a groundout by Maldonado.
Schafer drove in a run with a sacrifice bunt in the second inning and, after falling behind 0-2, led off the fifth inning with a homer that put the Brewers up 5-0.

A couple of historical documents such as the Nolan City Plan of 1926 and the Street and Highway Plan for Columbus and Phenix City of 1947 have been found that show important transportation and urban planning data for the Columbus area.
Note: You will need Adobe Reader to open many of the files on this page and throughout this website. If you do not have Adobe Reader, you may download Adobe Reader now.
The Columbus City Plan was writen by City Planner, John Nolen, in 1926 and presented by the Planning Board as the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Columbus, Georgia. This report is based upon an intensive study of the existing conditions and our future requirements so that the two might be correlated to secure the orderly development of our community. This study has covered a period of two years and has been made by every municipal agency under the guidance of John Nolen, one of the foremost experts in City Planning.
The Street and Highway Plan for Columbus, Ga and Phenix city, Al was prepared by the H.W. Lochner & Company and prepared for the State Highway Department of Georgia.
In the development of 'this plan the basic data utilized was obtained by the State Highway Department of Georgia and the State of Alabama Highway Department through'an Origin-Destination traffic survey. This information was utilized in connection with an analysis of the capacity and adequacy of existing streets and highways, resulting in the program of needed improvement projects. While the plan is primarily concerned with the State and Federal highways, it also includes numerous improvements needed on the City and County street and highway systems

Because Knetbooks knows college students. Our rental program is designed to save you time and money. Whether you need a textbook for a semester, quarter or even a summer session, we have an option for you. Simply select a rental period, enter your information and your book will be on its way!
Bateman and Snells Management: Leading & Collaborating in a Competitive World is a text with a fully modernized functional approach. This text is maintaining the four traditional functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling, while modernizing and re-visioning the concepts as delivering strategic value, building a dynamic organization, mobilizing people, and learning and changing.
Bateman/Snell results-oriented approach is a unique hallmark of this textbook. In this ever more competitive environment there are five essential types of performance, on which the organization beats, equals, or loses to the competition which are cost, quality, speed, innovation and service. These five performance dimensions, when done well, deliver value to the customer and competitive advantage to you and your organization.
Throughout the text Bateman & Snell remind students of these five dimensions and their impact on the bottom line with marginal icons contributing to the leadership and collaboration theme, which is the key to successful management. People working with one another, rather than against, is essential to competitive advantage.

1. EWG meeting 30th April 2012 – minutes approved
2. Economics information book to be circulated – Tom stuck in action (kettle) yesterday; Peter
to circulate tomorrow.
3. EWG priority items for the GA – Dave will circulate A4 summary over the next couple of
days. Is there scope for direct action on tax havens? Could be positive in terms of high
profile impact. There was a Jersey contact with prior involvement in EWG who may be able
to help. Does it just involve sorting out travel agents and booking tickets? Chris F-D emailed
Southampton and Liverpool with a view to talking about engaging them in plans: it would
be good to get a flotilla of protesters to Jersey or on a ferry to Isle of Man. Dave has drafted
a piece on tax havens for the GA. Vast raft of legislation allowing people to hold assets
offshore – addressing each nation's laws in this area would be a big task. Treasure Islands by
Nicholas Shaxson is a must read on the subject. Examination of fractional reserve banking is
required and the part it plays in the offshore world. Debate about solving the problems –
analogy: addressing root causes or removing the branches? Japanese knotweed can only be
removed if the roots are destroyed. Diverse views expressed including we have to prioritise
and cannot identify one single cause. Is evolution possible or is revolution the only way to
change? At present the establishment has overwhelming military/security might. Question
raised, what is the EWG for – what does it want to achieve? Agreed to have a
presentation/session on money creation on Friday 18th May as one of the themed EWG
meetings (Clive to organise and circulate paper in advance).
4. Road map – Tim has done a lot of work and circulated a one page summary a while back but
has yet to distribute the original 12 page document. Ties in with the actions planned for 12th
May day of protest. Peter will chase Tim to circulate the full document.
5. Social Housing – Mervyn King's Lecture on the BBC this week – attended by Chris F-D
who got a question in on social housing. Some of the more interesting discussion wasn't
broadcast. Chris asked whether, from an economic perspective, it is feasible to use QE
(which had been pretty ineffective in stimulating economic revival) to create social housing,
thereby providing a direct stimulus to the economy. King neatly deflected this into the long
grass by saying it was a political decision and that it was not for him to suggest how money
should be spent – avoiding the thrust of the question on feasibility. Chris has drafted a letter
(which was read out ) reiterating the question which it was agreed he should send with
reference to the EWG but not suggesting it is supported by the group as a whole. On being
pressed by Evan Davies for not responding to the housing bubble pre-crash, King said he
was roundly criticised when he did suggest housing might be overpriced for affecting
markets. The meeting evolved into a discussion about the meaning/value of money with
references to John Harris and Robert Maynard, the amount of physical gold (officially
200,000 tons worldwide but possibly more held secretly). Member of occupy lunching with
Mayor of London in a couple of weeks (her daughter won a competition) – opportunity to
spear Mayor on occupy issues. It was agreed to let the QE debate settle over the next week
with a view to picking it up next Friday. Discussion about personhood with references to the
distinction between individual as flesh and blood and their capitalised name on official/legal
6. Reminder of the day of action on 12th May and that there is no EWG meeting this Bank
Holiday Monday 7th May.
Friday 18th May meeting will be on money creation.

Unbeknownst to many, Whistler laid down roots originally as a summer fishing resort, not a ski hill. Until the early 1970s, that is, when locals and government planners reimagined it as a bustling, year-round international destination. This bold vision hinged on an innovative, resort-wide lodging plan that would become the cornerstone of Whistler's success. First, most accommodations would be near the action: Now more than two thirds of Whistler's 30,000 guest beds are within a seven-minute walk of lifts, the main Village, quiet Upper Village (also known as Blackcomb base), or Creekside. Also, the majority of Whistler's lodging (including top choices like the Four Seasons Resort, both Pan Pacifics, and the slopeside Westin and First Tracks Lodge) would be owned as condominiums but operate as hotels. Condos mean kitchens—a near-requirement for families. Hotels mean services like front desks, concierges, daily housekeeping, ski valets, and room service.
Despite the fact that there are few new hotels or renovations in the works this season, Whistler offers a lodging scene that's one of the best in the high country. From the boutique, stylish Aava to the bustling Pan Pacific to the budget-friendly but surprisingly pleasant Backpacker Hostel, there's enough variety in this town to please all comers. Best of all, Whistler's original amenities—its majestic peaks, lush forests, and snowy slopes—are always in easy reach. Click for three distinctly Whistler options.

Will Mitt run again?June 19,2014Certainly no one would have expected it on Nov. 7, 2012, but as establishment Republicans assess their chances of retaking the Oval Office, some are looking longingly at one Mitt Romney.
The fact that Romney, who lost an election that several well-regarded economic models predicted he would win, is considered the fairest in this political Judgment of Paris tells you just how unconvincing the rest of the possible GOP field is.
No, its not quite the Gong Show gathering of 2012, but Jeb Bush is the only instantly credible GOP heavyweight whos even mulling a run, and hes deeply ambivalent. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie once seemed like he could become a strong contender, but though he has so far weathered the George Washington Bridge scandal, that episode has highlighted enough unsavory aspects of his administration that he no longer looks like someone who could win over independents.
As for the GOPs other might-be candidates, while several could be president of Tea Party Land, its hard to imagine any of them winning a national election in the actual country.
So its not so much that Romney truly looms large as that the others stand short.
Romney, of course, has disavowed any interest (though a little less emphatically than was the case a few months back). Thats what youd expect at this stage, of course. And yet, close observers dont think the door has been slammed, locked, and barricaded shut.
If Jeb and Christie dont run, and George W. Bush, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Haley Barbour, and Reince Priebus all came and said, You have to do it for the good of the country, he would think about it, says one adviser.
If, in other words, Romney were essentially drafted for the job, something that hasnt happened in decades.
And yet, this person has put his finger on something essential to Romneys psyche: He likes to believe that his various political career moves are about answering the call to service rather than personal ambition.
When he came back to Massachusetts after the 2002 Winter Olympics were over and launched a gubernatorial bid he and his team had been mulling for some time, Romney proclaimed he was responding to a call from Massachusetts Republicans.
I did not expect to be standing before you today what an extraordinary grass-roots draft movement, he said in his convention speech. I heard your voice way out in Salt Lake.
Similarly, the way Romney tells it, it was Ann who persuaded him he had to wage his first campaign, a Senate run against Ted Kennedy. And his family who prevailed upon him to run (again) in 2012, on the grounds that the country needed him. That campaign, he said in an interview earlier this year, was about putting ourselves forward to try and help the country at a ... a critical time, and where the background and skills I have, we think, were a good match for what the country needed.
So if there actually were a widespread call among Republicans that is, if the voices Romneys hopeful hearing frequently picks up were actually audible to others as well that would prove immensely gratifying to a man who likes to think of himself as riding in on a white horse to save the day.
Further, because rejection and defeat are hard for Romney to accept, hes prone to searching for rationalizations to salve his wounds. After his 1994 loss to Ted Kennedy, for example, Romney told people he had commissioned a poll that concluded voters would have decided differently had they realized those midterm elections would give Republicans control of Congress.
Since his 2012 loss, he and Ann have certainly been willing to highlight what they see as President Obamas failures. Although they dont quite say it, one gets the feeling that they think voters would like a do-over.
Is that enough to get him to run again?
In the end, I doubt it. And yet, I wouldnt completely rule it out no matter what Romney is saying right now.

Hi There, my little guy is almost 2 months now and has been exclusively breastfeed. I'm returning to work just a few hours a day and he is here with daddy and a bottle of pumped milk. I've ordered new nipples for the bottle hoping this will help with our issue. But he fusses and cries a majority of the time I am gone. As soon as I get home he quiets down. Then I put him to the breast and he smiles and is perfectly fine. Sometimes he doesn't even nurse right away but snuggles with the breast and just hangs out. Nursing is such a great comfort for us both but is there anything we can do to help him be comforted by daddy? It seems he has a hard time with this. We have even tried to wrap up the baby in my clothes so that he has my smell. But nothing seems to work and he refuses the bottle.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Some of us from our hospital's administration and management team had just attended a Quint Studer workshop. As we walked to dinner afterwards, our vice president wondered, "What are the barriers to setting up a peer review employee interview system like the one Studer was talking about?" Studer's view is that such systems make for more successful employee hires and orientations as well as more "ownership" of the hiring decision by others on the ...

I write this with tears streaming down my face. Man, it wasn't supposed to end like this. Padres, I just want you to know that I love you very much, and thank goodness for "next year." Seems like we always have to comfort ourselves with that, and it's true again this year.
It wasn't supposed to end like this. From the beginning of the season, we were instantly put down as the last-place team in the NL West. It took a little time, but we soon estabished ourselves as a team to contend with. We inhabited first place for almost the entire season until the Giants snatched it away from us in the past few heartbreaking weeks. Now, we're done.
Looking back over the season, it's amazing to see what we accomplished as a team. But we didn't do anything with it. We were supposed to be National League West Champions. But San Diego's heartbroken once again and San Fran is celebrating. Baseball is such a heartbreaker.
I'm too sad to say much more. The one thing that hurts so much right now is realizing that there's no more Padres baseball to listen to or watch. I guess I was so focused on the winning and the playoff push that I totally forgot what was coming after…the end of the season. I don't know how to deal with no Padres games until April. I love my boys sooooo much. I don't want to turn the focus to next year. I want to play some more baseball.
Ahhh man.

Sorry you're so heartbroken. Baseball sure can do that to you. At least your team had a great season and was in it until the end. My Tigers just decided to give it up after the All-Star break and get it over with. I agree it will be a looong off season. The winter can't go by fast enough.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Kaybee: Aww…I feel for you. It almost seems that it would have been better if they lost the lead a little earlier. That "down to the last game" thing is too harsh. I'm so sorry. But seriously, everyone was AMAZED by your boys this year. I hope the winter flies by, but I know it won't…I just hope my Yankees stick around as long as possible, because I know exactly what you mean: it's too hard to not see our teams for that long.
I hope you continue to blog in the offseason.
I hope youre watching the post season any way even if the Pads arent in it. The way I see it , a true baseball fan does not stop watching just because our team is out of it . I admit, it hurt and I gave myself a few days to get used to the fact we werent going to the playoffs . I see it as a good & not so good season . Good in that we exceeded what people expected . we exceeded that by far. Bad, because it was ours for the taking. We choked away a 6 1/2 game lead , so you have to lay the blame at the feet of our own guys. In the end Jonathan Sanchez did back up his mouth & shut us out , what really hurt was not scoring any runs in the last game of the yr.
From what I can tell since I on occasoin do read this blog, you have been a fan only a few yrs. but you are caught up in your love for our team . Let me tell you after about 40 yrs. of following this team there have been a few highs but quite a lot of lows, I wish there were more highs that went w/being a Pads fan. This is why I dont expect much from them, and when we do get some excitement, its a pleasant surprise. I just enjoy watching the games & hope we do well.
No, youre right, you dont have to focus on next yr. yet. Next wk. I will be taking a trip over to AZ for A.F.L. games to see some of our young kids playing there. I am suggesting you go too if you still want to see some games. BTW in yesterdays Phillies vs. Reds game Halladay pitched a no hitter. It was incredible ! Our Pads may be out of it but its exciting to see Oct. games that matter, w/ some great players playing in them, I am just glad that no hitter wasnt pitched against us, lol . Lets hope we can find more offense next yr. to back up our great pitching .
Thank you so much for you great comment, smstevepadre. This is my fourth year of being a Padres fan, and man I love this team sooo much. I've definitely learned a lot these past few years and one of the things is that you should never ever give up on your team. No matter what. Tough for a Padres fan, sure, but someday they'll get there. Eventually🙂 I'm definitely still keeping up with baseball right now. I saw the headline on the front page of the sports section today about Roy Halladay and I was like, "NO WAY!!" what a talented guy. Definitely glad that it wasn't against us haha. Hopefully we will be able to really pull things together next year and get into the playoffs with no problems. I can't wait for our Padres to start playing again!! Oh well. Long offseason ahead, but it'll be here before we know it. GO PADRES!!

Not sure yet if the drugs are working since I'm still in pain, but anyway I digress.

May 8, 2013 —
A Bucks County man who had been accused of gnawing on a woman's head while naked and covered with blood was sentenced on May 3 to time in Wayne County Prison. Richard Cimino appeared in Wayne County Court, and will spend from 90 days to 23.5 months in prison.
He faced charges of assault, indecent exposure and making terroristic threats in a violent incident that occurred in Hawley in September 2012.
Some newspapers have dubbed the incident a zombie attack because of Cimino's bizarre behavior.
According to police, at about 4:30 a.m., Cimino was driving his car when it left the roadway and he ended up behind a house on Hudson Street. He stripped completely naked and broke into a nearby unoccupied home.
He made his way to the second floor and jumped through a window. The police report said the jump "seriously injured his arms and other extremities," and he was bleeding rather heavily, but he kept moving.
Cimino then approached Ann Monaghan and Nancy Dean-Corino, and attacked them, knocking Dean–Corino to the ground. According to the police report, he, "gnawed at Dean-Corino's head and screamed like an animal."
Cimino was ultimately shot with a taser to subdue him. Officials said at the time he may have been under the influence of bath salts, which are synthetic drugs manufactured to circumvent drug laws, but which are increasingly implicated in violent acts.
Cimino's mother, Sandra Cimino, appeared at the sentencing and pleaded with the judge to consider her son as a recovering addict who had enrolled in college, and not the naked and raving individual who caused such havoc that night.
But Judge Raymond Hamill said he could not ignore the negative impact Richards actions had on the two women he had attacked and other members of the community.
Richard sobbed openly when addressing the court and apologized for his behavior. He said the incident had opened his eyes, and prompted him to seriously address his drug addiction.

What of the winter?
December 24, 2013 —
This month saw a couple of storms with accumulating snowfalls, and there is a foot on the ground in most areas of the region, give or take a few inches. This is good news for skiers and the area ski resorts, but if you are shoveling your driveway or have to get to work in bad weather, maybe this is not so good news.
Cold temperatures during the first part of December have kept the snow around. Ice has covered many sections of rivers, and eagles have been spotted congregating along the upper Delaware in the usual open spots as they look for food.
So what will this winter hold for us? Will we get a big thaw, or will we have arctic blasts and hip-high snow by February? The Farmer's Almanac winter forecast map for 2013/2014 indicates a cold and dry winter. It is interesting that they cite low solar activity (sunspot numbers) in many of their forecasts. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center, the current solar cycle is near its peak, but it is shaping up to be much lower than the last solar peak that occurred during 2000 by about a third.
Meanwhile, here at home, NOAA predicts near normal temperatures and precipitation for the region this winter. (although "normal" may be somewhat colder than the past few milder winters experienced in our region). Although long range forecasts may predict a general trend, we should keep our weather eye peeled. In issuing this winter's forecast, Mike Halpert, acting director of NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, summed this winter forecast up this way: "Without this strong seasonal influence (El Niño/La Niña), winter weather is often affected by short-term climate patterns, such as the Arctic Oscillation, that are not predictable beyond a week or two, so it's important to pay attention to your local daily weather forecast throughout the winter."

Greatest Super Bowl moment of all time
Super Bowl III is often considered greatest game
By Eric Fleming, Contributing writer
There have been many great moments in Super Bowl history.
Many of the events have been documented on NFL.com, from San Francisco's record-setting 55 points against Denver in Super Bowl XXIV to the 14-7 defensive struggle in 1972 that eventually led to the Miami Dolphins becoming the only undefeated team in Super Bowl history.
Other great moments include the Pittsburgh Steelers dominating the 1970s with four Super Bowl victories, or the Dallas Cowboys re-emerging from a decade of irrelevance to win three Super Bowls in four years during the mid-1990s, giving them five Super Bowl championships in all.
There are individual moments such as William "The Refrigerator" Perry scoring a touchdown in 1985's blowout Bears win over the Patriots (a game in which all-time great Walter Payton did not score). Then there are the two Super Bowl-winning field goals for Adam Vinatieri of the New England Patriots.
But for many people, the greatest Super Bowl moment in the 42-year history of the game happened very early.
The year was 1969. This Super Bowl (the third championship game between the AFL and NFL, but the first to actually be called the Super Bowl), would be between the New York Jets of the AFL and the Baltimore Colts of the NFL. For the first two years of the AFL-NFL game, the NFL champions (the Green Bay Packers both years) easily defeated the AFL champions (the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl I and the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl II). Although the leagues had already signed a merger agreement, it was typically thought that the NFL, with its years of existence and established franchises, had the better players.
However, three days before the game, cocky quarterback Joe Namath guaranteed a victory for his New York Jets, as reported in a Time magazine article. When confronted by an unruly Colts fan predicting Baltimore would defeat the Jets handily, Namath replied, "We're going to win. I guarantee it." It was a bold move, provoking his coach to admit years later that he could have strangled Namath for making that claim. The Baltimore Colts were a seasoned team led by Johnny Unitas, although he would only play sparingly in this game. The Colts were considered heavy favorites, facing a team in the Jets that many felt would have trouble winning 10 games if playing in the NFL.
However, the Jets went on to defeat the Colts by a score of 16-7, holding Baltimore's high-powered offense to a single touchdown with less than four minutes remaining in the game. Far from being the less-skilled team, the Jets proved to have the speed advantage over the Colts, a daring playbook that led to numerous passes downfield, and the fortitude to hold on for the victory.
This victory, possibly more than any other in Super Bowl history, changed the face of football. It not only gave the New York Jets a claim to legitimacy, but the entire AFL as well. When the Chiefs defeated the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV, that claim was cemented. It was the next year that the merger went into effect, and the AFL was absorbed into the NFL. The victory by the Jets in Super Bowl III, followed by the AFL's victory in Super Bowl IV, left the all-time series between the champions of the NFL and the champions of the AFL tied 2-2 forever.
While there have certainly been more exciting Super Bowl games played on the field (including the Steelers-Cowboys games in the '70s and the Giants-Patriots matchup in 2008's Super Bowl XLII), none have had such an effect on the face of football as Super Bowl III. And that's why Joe Namath's guarantee of victory, and the fact that he and the Jets actually made that guarantee stick, is often considered the greatest Super Bowl moment of all time.

History Is Happening—Don't Let Your Students Miss It!
History is in the making! President Obama's inauguration speech heralds a new era, and stands as a truly significant event in American history. As such, it represents a critical opportunity to teach our children. We all can remember where we were at important moments in history – and, for our students, this will stand as one such moment that they'll recall for the rest of their lives. To let it pass by without thought and discussion is to miss a chance to teach, and learn, that we cannot afford to miss.
How does the inauguration fit in with what we are required to teach in a standards-based history classroom?
A good history class relates past to present. It invites students to develop their understanding of what "historical significance" is – certainly, considering the significance of this event versus others in American (and world) history is a worthwhile way to relate what is going on now to past events that have shaped the context for Mr. Obama's election. Issues of freedom, equality and citizenship have shaped the dialogue of this country since its inception. How have the words and deeds of the founders, of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, of W.E.B Dubois, Martin Luther King and Cesar Chavez, led to this momentous event? What is the role of the President, and the government in general, in bettering our country – and our world? What is our role, as citizens? What makes a good President – and what makes a good citizen?
These are excellent avenues for study and discussion, to relate what students are already learning in class to the inauguration.
Below is a list of resources to help educators make sense of the inauguration. This list was compiled by by Jah-Yee Woo, ACOE History-SS specialist.

Dodgers score Two Touchdowns while the Nationals get the Safety.
Dodgers score two touchdowns while the Nationals settle for a safety.
Hard to believe that with 14 runs, there was only one homerun (Casey Blake)
Maybe this was the game that Billingsley should have started!
Congratulations to Kuroda-san and the Dodgers on the win!
Dodgers magic number is
Seven is my lucky number!
Happy Birthday to our own Sweet Lou! Sweet Lou Johnson turned 75, September 22nd. I love seeing your smiling friendly face at the stadium Sweet Lou!
Johnson is most well known for his home run off Jim Kaat in Game 7 of the 1965 World Series that gave the Dodgers a lead they would never relinquish against the Twins.
Johnson also played a key role in another memorable win by Sandy Koufax that year.
During Koufax's perfect game against the Cubs, on September 9, 1965, Johnson was the only batter from either team to reach base. He walked off Bob Hendley to start the fifth, advanced to second on a Ron Fairly sacrifice bunt, then stole third and scored when catcher Chris Krug's throw went into left field. Johnson also doubled in the seventh inning, breaking up Hendley's no-hitter.
Happy 25th Birthday to our centerfielder, The Bison, Matt Kemp!
We love you Matty!
Matt is having a fabulous year! He is batting .307, has 25 homeruns, 97 RBIs and has 34 stolen bases.

The Nationals could have had up to 5 errors charged. It was not a pretty game unless you're a Dodger fan. Now that the Dodgers can clinch a playoff spot any day now I'm starting to figure out what it would take for the Dodgers to have to wait to clinch the division until they can do it at home against the Rockies. It will take a little hard work and luck by the Rockies but it's possible unless the Dodgers continue winning at this 8-2 clip they are on. I want to see the fans loving it again like last year. I want to see it come down to the last out and everything…
Emma, Nice props to Sweet Lou and Matt… Dodgers could have this wrapped up by the homestand. : )
Muy Graci on the Haiku comment too.. .and the text thing takes a smidge longer.. but I think it makes for a more compact read. Whataya think?
Buz –
Oh gosh.. sorry bout that on that stupid address was in my paaste…. yikes.
Yep 14 runs and only one homerun!
It would be nice clinching at home but a little nerve wrecking. I was in San Fracisco the last time we clinched the W.S. there and there was a sea of Blue there celebrating. I am going to San Diego on the 29th so we will see what happens. We still have four at Pittsburgh.
I removed your address. Sweet Lou is the nicest person. I ran into him at Roger Dean's parking lot. My friend and I did not have tickets to the game as it was sold out but we told him we were contect to be there and just wait for our friend that had tickets. He got us in and the following day at Vero Beach he joked that it was us that got him into Roger Dean. Very, very sweet person. You always see him smiling at the stadium.
Fantastic offensive show by the Dodgers in that one! And great pic of you and Kemp, Emma!
Emma how lucky you are to have your picture taken w/ such great baseball folks! Must be the #7😉
Thanks Jane! I was watching the game in delay after I got home and in the first inning Livan Hernandez was actually laughing cause he got out of that inning. I was saying to the TV "Wait till you see what happens to you later." lol. We all talk to the TV, right?
Jeff! haha, 7 and 2 are my lucky numbers. When you posted that I rememebered that I do have pictures with Sweet Lou Johnson. Maybe I'll update the post.
Emma, the pics with James and Matty are great!
Emma: It's comforting to know that your team can score runs in a variety of ways. 14 runs and only 1 via home run is comforting. Hits, hits, hits. In the postseason, you are probably going to have to build runs. The longball may be hard to come by. Nice job Dodgers!
James & Matty are adorable. They are both having very solid years. That guy in the background of the pic of you and Matty is a true Dodger fan! Nice face paint!
I was at that game in San Francisco, I think we talked about that before. Best day of my baseball life. I remember the media trying to interview Kenny Lofton down by the Dodgers dugout but we were screaming too much. Did you see the older white dude who was a fan going all the way back to Brooklyn? It was funny seeing him cheering with a bunch of younger Hispanic guys chanting "Who's house? Our house!"
Thanks for the comment, ya we lost but it wasnt near as bad as the score looked and plus the best part was seeing morons jump in the fountains to throw back the big papi homer
thanks! Nice twitter page you got there!
The guy with the Dodger Blue paint on his face is always at the stadium. He comes out in the Bluetopia movie saying "this is my church.".
haha, we might have bumped into each other at that game in San Francisco. Haha, it looked like "our house" with all that blue". That was great clinching at San Francisco.
See, that is what I say of our loss yesterday that it was not that bad. I have to look at the positive and I saw some with Bilingsley on the mound. Just looking at the score does not tell the whole story.
Its always fun to see how scoring early plays out to a big win. It seems that the Dodgers have really been scoring!!😉 Its always fun when your team has more than the other team. haha new post up.
We lost last night but that is the good thing about baseball, you come back the following day and you think about winning series more than games.

August 14, 2013 —
Mark Cooper, who was a long-time radio host on WPDH in Poughkeepsie, which also has a transmitter in Jeffersonville, passed away. He had been off the air recently because of health issues, and he suffered a stroke on August 11.
A statement from the radio station said, "We are sad to announce that Mark Cooper passed away Wednesday, August 14th. Everyone at WPDH is completely devastated. Coop was a friend to so many people in the Hudson Valley and had an incredibly infectious joy for life. He was a caring and dedicated advocate for so many causes both on and off the air, it's hard to imagine mornings without his voice.
Those of us who were fans of his show, or lucky enough to know Mark on a personal level will miss him deeply. Our hearts go out to his family and friends. Coop would certainly want us to celebrate his life and we invite you to share your memories on our Facebook page.

Texas ousts Louisville from CWS with 4-1 victoryThe Associated Press | June 17,2014OMAHA, Neb. A workmanlike victory over Louisville has Texas coach Augie Garrido confident his Longhorns are in the right frame of mind to make a deep run at the College World Series.
Parker French and Travis Duke limited the Cardinals to four hits, and Texas manufactured runs in three straight innings to win 4-1 in an elimination game Monday.
The performance eased Garridos concern about his teams state of mind after a 3-1 loss to UC Irvine in Saturdays CWS opener.
The celebration has gone on from the time they got their invitation and punched their tickets to Omaha, Garrido said. Once you get here, the celebration continues. Its easy to buy into that, and its hard to refocus and get competitive. I didnt tell them until now, but it is hard to flip that switch.
The Longhorns (44-20) ended a four-game CWS losing streak dating to 2009 and will play UC Irvine in another elimination game Wednesday. Louisville (50-17) went 0-2 in the CWS for the second straight year and is 1-6 in three appearances in Omaha.
French (7-5) held the Cardinals to four singles in 7 1-3 innings, and Duke retired their last five batters for his first save.
It was Frenchs second straight strong outing. The sinker-baller pitched six shutout innings in a win over Houston in super regionals and has allowed three runs in 20 innings in three NCAA tournament appearances. The Longhorns pitching staff has a 1.35 ERA over its last eight games.
We have a pitching staff that can stand up to the number of games we need to win to win the national championship, Garrido said.
Louisville sophomore starter Anthony Kidston (9-1) lost for the first time in 15 decisions as a collegian and the Cardinals committed four errors, just as they did in their elimination-game loss to Oregon State last year.
Its the eight best and eight hottest teams in Omaha, so when you dont play clean, it gets magnified out here, Louisville coach Dan McDonnell said.
The Longhorns played an error-free game and got big defensive plays from shortstop C.J. Hinojosa and left fielder Ben Johnson.
When I step out there every game, I think this is the best defensive team in the country. I can say that with confidence, up the middle and everywhere, French said. They make those plays, it makes me more of a strike-throwing machine, because theyre going to be aggressive and let me keep my pitch count down.
Texas opened the scoring on Johnsons sacrifice fly after Zane Guritz doubled leading off the third inning. The Longhorns added a run in the fourth on Kacy Clemens RBI groundout and another in the fifth when Mark Payton came home on second baseman Zach Lucas throwing error.
Louisville had won 12 of 13 games this season, and 17 of 19 the last two seasons, in games started by Kidston.
We wanted to get on him early, and we did a good job of that those three innings we scored runs, Johnson said. We knew they have a pretty good bullpen, so we wanted a lead going to the last innings.
McDonnell gathered his players after Texas went up 3-0 and challenged them. His talk didnt work.
We probably chased some pitches we shouldnt have in big situations with runners on, Cole Spurgeon said. We probably didnt do a great job of making them work for everything. We made it easy on them for a few innings.
Louisville pulled to 3-1 in the eighth on Sturgeons groundout. But the Longhorns scored an unearned run in the top of the ninth to make it a three-run game again.
We had a two-inning lapse where we made it a little too easy on them, McDonnell said. They got the momentum, and we let them roll with it.
VANDERBILT 6, UC Irvine 4
OMAHA, Neb. UC Irvine came back once to take the lead against Vanderbilt. The Anteaters couldnt do it a second time, not with Walker Buehler on the mound.
Buehler pitched 5 1-3 innings of no-hit relief, with Irvine managing to get only two balls out of the infield against him in a 6-4 loss at the College World Series on Monday night.
Irvine had scored four times against first-round draft pick Tyler Beede to erase an early two-run deficit. But John Norwoods bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the fifth inning put Vanderbilt up 5-4, and his two-strike, two-out single in the seventh made it a two-run game.
For us to go back down one and then two runs, it seemed like it was going to take a lot, Irvines Kris Paulino said. Buehler was starting to throw well, and you felt he was on a roll.
Irvine (41-24), one of the last four teams selected for the 64-team NCAA tournament, now must win three games to reach next weeks best-of-three finals. Vanderbilt is within one win of the championship round. The Commodores (48-19) will play in a bracket final Friday against the winner of a Wednesday elimination game between UC Irvine (41-24) and Texas.
UC Irvine coach Mike Gillespie said watching Buehler work felt like a root canal.
The score wasnt indicative of the difference between the two teams tonight, Gillespie said. So well show up on Wednesday and try to give a better account of ourselves.
Buehler (12-2) retired the first nine batters he faced and finished with seven strikeouts in only his third relief appearance of the year.
Buehler said pitching coach Scott Brown told him before the game to be ready.
You expect your guys to go out and perform as well as they can. I was happy I got to pick him up, Buehler said.
Elliot Surrey (8-5) took the loss, allowing five runs in 4 1-3 innings in just his third start.
Beede, the 14th overall draft pick by the San Francisco Giants, continued to struggle with his command. He failed to make it past the fifth inning for a second straight start and sixth time in 18 outings.
The Anteaters had no answer for Buehler, though. The 6-foot-1, 160-pounder mixed a biting curveball with a fastball in the mid 90s. It was an impressive bounce-back from his last outing, a super-regional start against Stanford that lasted three innings.
The game turned around when Walker came in, Vandy coach Tim Corbin said. He pounded the strike zone from the minute he got in there to the minute he finished.
Buehlers biggest challenge came in the eighth when he issued a walk and hit a batter with two out. Brown went to the mound for a visit, and Buehler then ended the threat by striking out Adam Alcantara on three pitches.
Every time he comes out he tries to make me laugh and smile and relax me, Buehler said. It obviously worked out. I wouldnt say the wheels were spinning. But youre in the College World Series, and you walk a kid and hit a kid, its nice to have a guy come out and settle you down a bit.
Surrey came into the game having given up no runs in eight innings and two in his previous 15. But Vanderbilt turned three singles and a walk into a 2-0 lead in the first.
Irvine batted around while taking a 4-2 lead in the second. The Anteaters tied it when Grant Palmer scored from third on Alcantaras bunt, and Taylor Sparks gave them the lead with a two-run single for his fourth hit in his first six CWS at-bats.
The Commodores regained the lead in the fifth, tying it when Bryan Reynolds scored from second after Zander Wiel hit a ball over Alcantara in left field for a double. After Evan Brock relieved with the bases loaded, Norwoods sacrifice fly to left put Vanderbilt back in front.MORE IN Wire SportsORLANDO, Fla. Full StoryOXON HILL, Md.

The Cactus League and AMY (Arizona Museum of Youth)
When we went to Mesa to watch the Cubs play against the Dodgers, the game got rainout.
so what did we do? We headed to the American Museum of Youth (AMY) a few blocks away (Although we did not know it at the time so we took the long way there. I think we took the freeway there :-)).
The Cleveland Indians and the NY Giants were the first ones to set camp in Arizona. Cleveland Indians owner Bill Veeck convinced NY Giants owner Horace Stoneham to also bring his team to Arizona. Sounds kinda of Deja vu
Did you know that in 1951 the New York Giants and the New York Yankees exchanged Spring Training facilities?
The Red Sox also played in the Cactus League. The price of the program in 1964? 50 cents.
Women Softball teams in the 40's. Why was this team called the Cantaloupes Queens? Because they were sponsored by a Cantaloupe growers. A young woman named Rose played with the Queens. Rose Mofford later became Arizona's governor!
Wish I had that 1988 World Series yellow button when the Oakland A's faced the Dodgers!
The Cubbies who used to play Spring Training in Catalina Island before Mesa, Arizona
Grapefruit signed by Sammy Sosa in 2007 and then freeze dried.
Chicago Cubs 1954 Spring Training program. Cost: 15 Cents.

We were glad that we found this museum close to Hohokam Stadium in Mesa!

What a great opportunity for kids to have that museum. Any chance for them to learn about baseball and its history is OK with me. Glad you occupied yourself during the rainout!
Awesome. I feel lucky getting to go along with you virtually on these trips🙂
Is a great museum for kids. Lots of people there that day because of the rain.
Well, great! I am glad that you liked the crzblue tour! lol.
Wow, they had Sammy Sign a grapefruit? Nice pics, and very interesting. http://clevelandbaseball.mlblogs.com/
Thanks CB! I put lots of pictures ha? lol. I even had more than that. You would have thought he would have signed a cactus instead of a grapefruit.
Great post! Looks like a fun place to visit. You should cover more Giants history, you're good at it!🙂
Nice pictures!! And it looks like an amazing place to go. Not only for the baseball fact, but the history as well.
Thanks Kaiser! It was a nice exhibition for both kids and adults! There were some radio calls too that you could play there.
LOL! I could not help include the Giants in the post since they are so much part of the Cactus League history.
Cool museum, even for non-kids! An autographed grapefruit has to be one of the oddest things I've seen. Even though it's been freeze-dried, it does look a little deformed and flattened out. I just finished a very interesting book about spring training, "Under the March Sun", by Charles Fountain. Published in 2009, it's a teensy bit outdated as far as the list in the back of teams' ST sites through the years, but the stories of how the Cactus League came about, and how Las Vegas tried at one point to coax a few teams to come there for ST are very informative.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
We were so glad that we found the museum and that they had a Cactus League history exhibition.
that book sounds interesting! I love Baseball history! Thanks for letting me know about this book!
WOW!! That place is a little gold mine.
The New York Roverettes..in Madison Square Garden? Outstanding!
I didn't even know that place existed, Emma?? What a great find. You seem to have a nose for everything baseball!
Quite a gift!
13 days till Dodgers Stadium Opening day!
Go BLUE!
they say you learn something new everyday and I think I got a weeks worth or more here, the grapefruit is weird but still one of a kind, cool stuff… Now did you actually take an umbrella to Arizona or is that a sun shade doubling as an umbrella?
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Hey Emma!
Thanks for the kind words. My mom is one of the nicest, sweetest people and it rubbed off on me. I could use the money of the ticket but I also realize the economy is bad right now. I love going to games & hopefully giving my tickets away when I can't make it can spread the love.
I'm glad you had a great time in pittsburgh & people treated you well. Are you planning a trip back anytime soon?
Your trip to the museum looked like so much fun! I'm glad you had a good time (minus the rain). Goodluck this year. I love the dodgers too, so im rooting for them.
I did not know they played softball in Madison Square Garden!
Neither did I! It was a nice surprise for me! It was a nice surprise for us and the many that made the trip there after the rainout. They said they had a lot of people that day!
12 days till Opening Day! I will be there tonight for the exhibition with the Tribe!
Me too! I learned a lot that day and as a result i read more about afterwards about the Cactus league.
The forecast said rain before we left Cali so I was prepared with the umbrella. Just wished I would have taken my Dodger blue raincoat too.
You are so welcome Kristy! You are making some fans very happy! Not planning a trip this year but I do want to go back! Maybe next year? Good luck to your Pirates!
I love the freeze dried grapefruit…funny! That historical stuff is lots of fun to see :O)
Nice pictures Emma, I envy you that you get to go to to spring training !. But someday I will go probably next year , by the way the boys are back in town !.
Isn't that grapefruit just crazy! I mean to have it signed first and preserved!
Hey Bluedog! Thanks! Indeed the boys are back in town! I bet Nancy Bea plays that tonight! Come with us to Spring Training next time!
No time for another entry until tomorrow. I am trying to leave a little earlier to take the new shuttle from Union station that taks you to Dodger Stadium.
I can't wait to be at our beloved Lady of Chavez Ravine !
We face the Indians in the exhibition game!
Emma, Neither Did I!!! LOL may I copy that pic for my scrapbooks?
That was one of the most enjoyable history lessons I have ever witnessed on paper.
I love the old program cover with the girl on horseback getting the attention of the player….and it was .50 cents Wow!
And I was laughing hard at the grapefruit signed by ex-Cubbie Sammy Sosa.
You would have thought they would have made him sign a cactus since it was the "Cactus League".
Great entry and one of my favorites from you. Thank you for taking me on a historical walk…It was fun.
Rays Renegade
Absolutely you can copy that picture for your scrapbook.
You are so welcome for the online historical walk😉
I have not had a chance for another entry here. I am so busy! Anyway, I got an eye doctor's appointment this morning and then the early 1:p.m. game which as you might know I like to get there as soon as the gates open.
wow that's too bad that it got rained out but what fun you had at the museum! I personally love museums so the pictures are just great! Esp the freeze dried grape fruit signed by Sammy Sosa. That is really cool!
I'm glad you had fun🙂
I love museums too! Museums, old libraries, old buildings with history. And if is related to baseball, even better!
I just checked this out today. I have yet to go to Arizona for Spring Training. I have been to Florida several times though, but I"ve yet to make the venture out west to see my Cubs play. When I do, I will definitely check out the museum. Thank you for sharing this post.
Well, Ron, you reminded me of this from your post so thank you for that! it was nice seeing those pictures again and reminding me of that day. It was a cold rainy day but many of us made the best of it.
I just checked out the museum and they have have some neat stuff for this year. I'll post it in my next entry.

March 27, 2013 —
LAKE HUNTINGTON, NY — There has never been a day in recorded history when war was not raging somewhere on this planet. With its potential for death, destruction and mayhem, war is mankind at its worst. But each March, this writer gets to document an entirely different kind of warfare, one replete with fun, good sportsmanship, artistic creativity and athletic verve.
In the Sullivan West Color Wars, classes vie against each other as spirited peaceful warriors for the bragging rights that come with accruing the most points from a variety of events. Each year one class exults in victory following the three hours of non-stop competition. As War and Pieces VII commenced on March 21, the Class of 2013 looked to defend the title it had claimed one year prior. Clad in red, the "Thirteens" got set to battle the blue-bedecked juniors, the yellow horde of sophomores and green-colored freshmen, entering this fray for the first of what will amount to four times in their high school careers. The senior "Super Heroes" hoisted a banner promising to "Go Out With A Bang," while the juniors lauded themselves as agents of Jet Blue "Taking Off And Considering This Year's Trophy Taken." That banner slogan would prove to be prophetic as they would top the seniors by a lone point to emerge as this year's champions. The sophomores declared, "We'll Make History," while the freshmen zombies stated, "Dead or Alive, We Still Thrive." Class cakes and lip synch skits reiterated the class themes.
The events were as follows: a timed obstacle course that required hop scotch, jumping rope, throwing a football through a hoop, a commando crawl, a skateboard slalom course and a hockey goal before tagging the next member of the team to do the same. The six contestants then arrayed themselves in a pyramid to stop the clock for their recorded time. The seniors took first in the event, while the juniors were second. All the athletic games yielded three points for first place, two for second, and one for third. The banners, cakes and lip synch competitions were worth six points for first place, four for second, two for third and zero for last. The basketball free throw shootout resulted in a tie between the seniors and juniors as each completed 11 in the allotted time. The hard throwing seniors edged the juniors in dodge ball and steal the bacon before tying the sophomores in crab soccer, a wild encounter that involved legions of kids seated on the floor trying to send a ball up against the opposite wall to score a goal.
In an epic upset that would augur their one-point victory in the Color Wars, the juniors trumped the seniors in the tug of war. The juniors and sophomores tied in the gummy bear toss as their teams caught the flying candy in awaiting mouths with voracious skill. The seniors led the juniors 16-11 after the athletic event portion of the foray, but the juniors won the cake decorating and lip synch battles over the seniors who had won the banner honors. The three artistic endeavors afforded the juniors a 16-12 advantage resulting in the final 29-28 victory for the class of 2014. The juniors' skit provided a Jet Blue dancing/singing tour of Mexico, Paris, Egypt and Korea replete with appropriate costumes, dancing, music and enactment for those trips on the excursion.
All of the class skits were impressive, humorous and creative. For an album of photos from this year's Color Wars, visit www.sportsinsights.smugmug.com [1].
