The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has published a revised floodplain map which is effective as of Monday, March 17, 2014. Through its Flood Hazard Mapping Program, FEMA identifies flood hazards, assesses flood risks, and partners with states and communities to provide accurate flood hazard and risk data to guide them to mitigation actions. Flood Hazard Mapping is an important part of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), as it is the basis of the NFIP regulations and flood insurance requirements.
The revised FEMA floodplain map can be found at marinmap.org along with other useful information regarding the NFIP. Note: To find a parcel using the marinmap site, click on the following link Floodplain Map, pull down the menu options under "I want to..." and search by property ID (assessor's parcel number) or by property address. Information can also be found at the FEMA website. Alternatively, the FEMA Floodmap can be viewed in Mill Valley's City Hall at the Planning Counter.
There will be one more round of updates and potential modifications to the revised Floodplain map which will be released later this month. For more information, please see the City's floodplain management page.

Sneak Peek: PuTTY Launcher
One of a system administrator's must-have items in his toolbox is PuTTY. PuTTY is a small, lightweight program that is perfect for telnet and SSH connections. It doesn't require any installation, it's just a single EXE file and you're good to go.
A feature of Secret Server that I personally have always found extremely useful is the launching capability that we introduced with Remote Desktop. It's very handy for starting Remote Desktop sessions. We decided to take it a step further and extend this functionality to PuTTY.
An initial obstacle that needed to be overcome was figuring out how to make sure PuTTY was on the client's machine. The creators of PuTTY are generous, and fortunately they allow us to distribute PuTTY with Secret Server. Since the Remote Launcher capability is a Microsoft ClickOnce application, it seemed reasonable to distribute PuTTY with our application. This would avoid the need for users having to tell our application where to look for PuTTY, or us requiring that you have it in a certain location on the machine.
However, PuTTY is 500 kilobytes, and the initial application was a mere 12 kilobytes. 500K is small in today's high tech world, but to reduce corporate bandwidth use, we only distribute it when you need it for the first time. That means when you make your first launch of PuTTY, we'll download the application for you from your Secret Server installation, thus not needing an outside Internet connection, but after that it's cached so you only need to download it once.
Once PuTTY is downloaded successfully, the application will automatically start already logged in at the prompt. For the first release of the PuTTY launcher, we will only support SSH.
If you want to see additional launchers built into Secret Server, make sure you stop by our forums and let us know!

All first-year students take an interdisciplinary gateway seminar (ENG125 or IDS125), in addition to participating in a First-Year Experience (FYE) course. The topic of the seminar is based on a contemporary issue, and students explore that topic from the perspective of more than one discipline.
Julie Carballo, adjunct instructor of education and director of Teach First, teaches an IDS125 course fall term. Its topic is "The Brain-Body Connection: An Interdisciplinary Look at the Impact of Exercise" and focuses on the research of Harvard professor John J. Ratey, M.D., and his book Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain. The seminar has been very popular with first-year students because of its relevance to their various fields of study and personal lives. They're seeing that exercise improves their learning, mood and attention, and helps them manage stress more effectively.
On Oct. 18, Carballo invited Paul Zientarski (photo), who taught physical education and coached at Naperville Central High School (NCHS) for 40 years and is now a consultant to the school district, to discuss his involvement in Ratey's research, which examined the effects of regular exercise on learning, stress, anxiety, mood, attention, addiction and aging. NCHS's revolutionary approach to fitness and learning was a case study in the book.
"We learned that test scores and academic performance increased tremendously when students exercised," Zientarski said, "and they dipped when student fitness declined."
In his book, Ratey explores the connection between exercise and the brain and presents surprising research to prove that exercise is the best defense against everything from depression to ADHD to addiction to menopause to Alzheimer's.
Carballo's class will make a follow-up visit to NCHS to tour its exercise-related facilities and learn more about the Learning Readiness physical education programs which have improved academic achievement at the school.

BUSINESS COURIER OF CINCINNATI: Protesters petition Chiquita for apology
Chiquita Brands International Inc. told protesters at the company's annual meeting Thursday that it will consider a formal apology and victims fund for the families of people killed by Colombian terrorists.A Washington-based nonprofit, Witness for Peace, presented a letter with 1,300 signatures at Chiquita's annual meeting. The group wants Chiquita (NYSE: CQB) to make a formal apology and establish a multimillion dollar fund for victims of Colombian terrorism. It also asked for the Cincinnati-based produce company to fire executives who were involved in making payments to Colombian paramilitary groups.Chiquita pleaded guilty in 2007 to one count of engaging in transactions with a group designated as a global terrorist organization by the U.S. government. It agreed to pay a $25 million fine in connection with the plea and it faces civil lawsuits seeking billions in damages.But Chiquita CEO Fernando Aguirre told the group's spokesman, Ken Crowley, that the company was a victim of extortion in Colombia. He added that the U.S. Department of Justice decided against prosecuting Chiquita executives because they were "as convinced as we were that we were victims.""We sympathize with the families of the Colombian individials," Aguirre said. "We'll be very happy to listen to your petition. I'll be happy to read it. I'll have my executive team go through it as well and in due turn, we'll reply back to you."Crowley thanked Aguirre for considering the petition. As he left the building, he was accompanied by a man who, according to Crowley, identified himself as a Cincinnati Police detective."He went into the bathroom with me," Crowley said. "When I washed my hands, he handed me a paper towel."After the meeting, Aguirre said he was not surprised by the protester's demands. He said it's similar to questions he gets when he speaks at universities and public functions."Most of those people really haven't heard the true story," Aguirre said. "Most of those people go away with the explanation of the facts."Aguirre added that "the plaintiffs bar" is behind much of the continuing opposition to Chiquita's handling of issues relating to Colombian terrorist payments."There's a lot of people out there who are trying to make business out of it," he said.Other matters addressed at the annual meeting Thursday included the election by shareholders of nine directors and the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the company's independent auditor. Shareholders also voted to increase by 1.1 million shares the amount of stock that can be awarded in long-term incentive grants to company executives.To read the article in the Business Courier of Cincinnati, click here.

- Title
- Artificial Neural Network application for predicting in-flight particle characteristics of an atmospheric plasma spray process
- Author(s)
- Choudhury, T. A.; Hosseinzadeh, N.; Berndt, C. C.
- Abstract
- Thermal spray consists of a group of coating processes that are used to apply metal or non-metallic coatings to protect a functional surface or to improve its performance. There are some 40 processing parameters that define the overall coating quality and these must be selected in an optimized fashion to manufacture a coating that exhibits desirable properties. The proper combination of processing variables is critical since these influence the cost as well as the coating characteristics. Because of this high number of processing parameters, a major challenge is to have full control over the system and to understand parameter interdependencies, correlations and their individual effects on the in-flight particle characteristics, which have significant influence on the in service coating properties. This paper proposes an approach, based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method, to play this role and illustrates the model's design, network optimization procedures, the database handling and expansion steps, and analysis of the predicted values, with respect to the experimental ones, in order to evaluate the network's performance.

Comments about Men's Palouse Long-Sleeve Shooting Shirt:
Shirt size is true to shoulders and neck but waist and underarms arms are far too large. Look and feel are awesome, will make a great midweight shirt when it is too cold for just a t shirt but not cold enough for a jacket while upland bird hunting.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Two former legislators and a veteran state representative say they'll challenge a trio of Republican state senators in possible recall elections later this year.
Democrats angry over Republican support for Gov. Scott Walker's contentious collective bargaining bill have mounted recall attempts against Sens. Terry Moulton of Chippewa Falls, Pam Galloway of Wausau, Van Wanggaard of Racine and Scott Fitzgerald of Juneau.
Former state Rep. Kristin Dexter, an Eau Claire Democrat, says she'll run against Moulton. Dexter served in the Assembly in 2009 and 2010.
Former state Sen. John Lehman, a Racine Democrat, will run against Wanggaard. Assembly Assistant Minority Leader Donna Seidel, a Wausau Democrat, will run against Galloway.
No candidates have emerged to challenge Fitzgerald yet.

History of Evergreen Review
THE EVERGREEN REVIEW was founded in 1957 by Barney Rosset, publisher of Grove Press as a quarterly in a trade paperback format, not so unlike other literary quarterlies. From the start, however, it did not fit easily in that company.
The first issue featured an essay by Jean-Paul Sartre and an interview with the great New Orleans jazz drummer Baby Dodds. It also included a story of Samuel Beckett's Dante and the Lobster, the first of his many appearances in Evergreen's pages; these continued through the last issue published.
As the fifties turned into the sixties, and the Beat Scene grew into the counterculture, Evergreen grew as well, always one step ahead of the pack. Timothy Leary, Abbie Hoffman, and the Fugs shared pages with Jack Kerouac, Mailer, Beckett, and Burroughs, and essays propounding psychedelic and Black Power appeared between cartoons by Tomi Ungerer, Kliban, and Sine. Michael O'Donoghue (later of National Lampoon and Saturday Night Live fame) became a regular contributor and created the classic commix satire Phoebe Zeit-Geist. Politics, sex, and art always went together. Then Hon. Gerald R. Ford denounced the magazine on the floor of Congress for printing a lampoon of Richard Nixon beside the photo of a nude. In 1968 Evergreen Review #51, featuring "The Spirit of Che" and with a Paul Davis portrait of Che Guevera on the cover so inflamed anti-Castro Cubans that they bombed Evergreen offices.
-Ken Jordan, August 1993
Evergreen Review debuted pivotal works by Samuel Beckett, Jorge Luis Borges, Charles Bukowski, William Burroughs, Marguerite Duras, Jean Genet, Allen Ginsberg, Gunter Grass, Jack Kerouac, Norman Mailer, Henry Miller, Pablo Neruda, Vladimir Nabokov, Frank O'Hara, Kenzaburo Oe, Octavio Paz, Harold Pinter, Susan Sontag, Tom Stoppard, Derek Walcott and Malcolm X. United States Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas wrote a controversial piece for the magazine in 1969. Kerouac and Ginsberg regularly had their writing published in the magazine.
The original Evergreen Review ceased publication in 1973, but the magazine was revived in 1998 in an online edition edited by founder Barney Rosset and Astrid Rosset. The online edition features flashbacks to previous Evergreen Review editions, as well as debuts by contemporary writers such as Dennis Nurkse, Giannina Braschi, and Regina Dereiva.

Stardust Hotel Las Vegas History
Stardust Las Vegas
Original Stardust Hotel
Stardust Layout
Layout of the Stardust Hotel in Vegas
Stardust Las Vegas Hotel opened at noon on July 2, 1958 with its planetary-galatic theme, and ended up closing at noon on November 1, 2006.
The wide view picture of the Stardust at the bottom of the page shows its 1,000 rooms, lined up in five wing rows. The Aku Aku polynesian restaurant is seen in the middle and the 1955 Royal Nevada casino is seen at left.
The Royal Nevada Hotel was eventually purchased by the Stardust and became the Stardust Auditorium. An elevated walkway can be seen bridging the Stardust and the Royal Nevada. The Stardust Hotel in Vegas later extended its front to the end of the Royal Nevada location, while keeping the exact same pool and room wings until the day it closed.
The well known 1991 'half-circle entrance' of the Stardust was later located partly where the Aku Aku Restaurant sat and on the road to its left. The road became the pedestrian entry path into the hotel in 1991. The angled edge of the Royal Nevada building was incorporated into the front entrance.
The Stardust Founder
The Stardust Founder - Tony Cornero
Tony Cornero, the founder of the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas, was one of Las Vegas' most influential people. When gambling was legalized, in 1931, Cornero was among the first to open a casino. Except, instead of building downtown he chose to build on the Fremont Street Strip of road, that carried Boulder Dam traffic.
While downtown offered a grouped batch of pedestrian casinos (zoned to Main & Fifth) Cornero built out of the city limits at Fremont and Charleston and was the first casino owner to use roadside architecture to lure his mobile customers into his hotel-casino complex.
This 'roadside casino-hotel' concept was an idea 10 years ahead of the Las Vegas Strip's future El Rancho Las Vegas and 15 years ahead of the Flamingo's sophisticated approach.
Tony Cornero was the first to bring a new level of nightlife to Las Vegas . He presented a glamorized style of gaming not then found in the Las Vegas. Cornero was also the originator of the elegant 'supper-club gambling entertainment hotel complex' in Nevada.
Tony Cornero's Vision
Tony Cornero's Vision for the Stardust
Tony Cornero, like his good friend Billy Wilkerson (founder of the Flamingo) understood the potential of profiting from Las Vegas' gaming future. In the early fifties he developed a concept of providing a 'discount styled casino' geared towards attracting mid-income tourists who couldn't afford the higher prices of casinos like the Desert Inn Las Vegas Hotel and the Dunes.
In 1954, Cornero set to work on building his Super Motel...the biggest in the world with over 1,000 rooms.
His new casino (set to be named the 'Starlite') was nearly 70% completed when Cornero ran out of money in 1955. He died on July 31, 1955 (of a heart attack) at a craps table at the Desert Inn. His unfinished casino sat empty for two years until it was taken over by John Factor (brother of Max Factor the 'cosmetics mogul'). John Factor finished Cornero's dream and the Stardust opened in 1958.

The Stardust's Earth globe was placed in two different areas during the hotel's first 7 years. It is seen here set at the edge of the building, where the building slanted 45 degrees from the Strip. See image above. In 1965 it was mounted to the roof and set on a pedestal.
This view shows how Stardust's Earth globe was first set into the corner edge of the facade at the point where it angled 45 degrees, from the Strip, towards its 2 story, front room wing. This slanted face attracted the eye of north-bound travelers on the LA Highway.

March 15, 2011 —
Grammy-award-nominated singer songwriter/pianist and Pike County, PA native Vanessa Carlton may be focused on preparations for the June 21 release of her new album, "Rabbits on the Run." But she's not too busy to share what she does best at an upcoming event in Glen Spey, NY. Why? Because she cares about the issue and wants others to become informed.
That issue is natural gas drilling, and Carlton is hoping to increase awareness of the process and its impacts by performing at a special screening of the new documentary, "FRACK! The Movie."
The event will take place on April 2 at Mountain View Manor in Glen Spey, NY, where Carlton will play a set featuring some of her established favorites as well as work from her new album, inspired by Richard Adams' "Watership Down," and Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time."
Carlton's fourth studio album was taped at the world-renowned Real World Studios in Box, England and was created in collaboration with legendary producer Steve Osborne (U2, B-52's, KT Tunstall), Patrick Hallahan of My Morning Jacket, and Ari Ingber.
Carlton became aware of gas drilling roughly a year-and-a-half ago, when she began reading about it in local papers and saw signs pop up on properties near her parents' Pike County home. "My family home is sitting on the Marcellus Shale," said Carlton. "This could be a disaster. It's my home under attack."
Carlton contends that "great love for this place where we live" is driving intensive regional activism on its behalf. "It's a Wonderland here," she said. "The peaceful woods, the pure water—it's spiritual, meditative. I write music about it."
While she maintains that America needs to develop its own energy sources, Carlton wants to see better regulations in place and a shift toward focusing on sustainable energy. "It's time to close the Halliburton Loophole," she said. "We need to pay attention and get this right. I hope people come to this event to learn more about the issue and to get the information they need."
The event is being sponsored by Lumberland Concerned Citizens (LCC). "It's a great opportunity to become better informed as a community, and will also provide a forum for refining our thoughts and actions as we move ahead with this important work," said LCC director Peter Comstock.
Also driving Carlton's desire to participate is her appreciation for the education she received as a student at Glen Spey's Homestead School and her devotion to its directors, Peter and Marsha Comstock. "They're my greatest teachers," said Carlton. "They provide you with the tools to become a responsible and progressive thinker. It's a very special place with a unique approach that brings out what's special in each child. It shaped who I am. I remain a curious person to this day as a result."
Carlton began playing the piano at three years old. At 21, she released her debut album in 2002, "Be Not Nobody." The single, "A Thousand Miles," reached the Top 5 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart. In 2003, Carlton earned Grammy nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist. The album achieved Gold status in over 10 countries and Platinum status in four countries, including the U.S.
Her second album "Harmonium," led to an invitation by singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks to fill the opening act slot on Nick's worldwide tour. Her last release in 2007, "Heroes & Thieves," garnered some of the best reviews of her career.
The event will begin with a potluck dinner at 5:30 p.m., followed by Carlton's performance, the film screening and a Q & A session. In addition to Carlton, other special guests will include actor Mark Ruffalo, FRACK director David Morris, representatives from Catskill Mountainkeeper, Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy, Damascus Citizens for Sustainability and Dimock, PA residents Julie and Craig Sautner.
More information about the movie is available at www.frackthemovie.com [2] or by calling 845/856-6359. Directions to Mountain View Manor can be obtained at www.mvmanor.com [3].

Erin Dollin & John Vanarsdale
The bride and groom
photographs by Bruce Plotkin
While John and Erin both attended Cornell University and shared many of the same friends, it was not until the end of their senior year that they were finally introduced to each other. John and Erin immediately hit it off. A few years later, John proposed to Erin at Madison Square Park en route to her birthday dinner.
Reverend David Norris officiated at the ceremony at the Inn at Longshore in Westport, where the reception followed.
The groom, son of Susan and John VanArsdale of Oxford, Connecticut, graduated from Cornell University with a bachelor's degree in economics and English and acquired his Juris Doctor from Cardozo School of Law. He is an attorney in New York.
The bride is the daughter of Edgar and Elizabeth Dollin of New Jersey. She received her bachelor's degree in business from Cornell University and her MBA from Rutgers University. She is a financial manager at SiriusXM Radio in New York.
After a honeymoon in Paris, the couple returned home to New Jersey.

The Filibuster
Baseball, Apple Pie & Lobster
While still behind the modern US American game in terms of global appeal, Japanese baseball does have a special place in the universe of our national pastime. Indeed it has evolved much beyond the infant and fundamentally challenged Chinese game and the linguistically worldly fella in me likes to think that even Japanese basebrawls tend to be a bit more aggressive than their Korean counterparts' elusive yet intriguing pitcher's mound chicken dance routine. Still, there is more to it than that.
During my first year in China, I had a Japanese roommate named Hayashi Nobuhide. Nobby — as we white devils called him because, well, it was easier to pronounce — was a rabid baseball fan. In fact, our friendship, which was predestined to be rocky due to 60 years of bad history, was solidified by our matched passion for the game.
Some of my fondest memories revolve around us getting up at 5am to watch the 1999 World Series during which he vehemently professed his equally tired hatred of the New York Yankees — for they were, to Nobby and his Japanese brethren, holistically representative of "all that's bad with America" (his words, not mine, though most probably true, especially when considering the likes of Roger Clemens, Chuck Knoblauch and Tony Tarasco).
And that year, Nobby cheered on the Atlanta Braves just like any other rabid Japanese nationalist: while wearing a Seattle Mariners cap.
Ichiro! Ichiro! Ichiro!
"But what about Hideki Irabu?" I asked.
"**** that traitor! Go Ichiro!" he replied.
"But Ichiro's not playing."
"He should be! ICHIRO!!!"
To hear Nobby tell it, Ichiro Suzuki was more popular, more influential, more inspiring than Jesus Christ himself (not to mention having a better stylist). Everything about Ichiro, from his odd pregame warmups to his ritualized on-deck routine to his classic power pose at the plate was unequivocally all-things Japanese: systematic, graceful and proud.
Consider the fact that this undying allegiance came during the height of the steroid era, and I gotta admit, Nobby had a damn good point:
Sensationalized as the above may be, the truth remains: Ichiro is powerful.
And now, that power has multiplied. The Japanese gifts continue to grace diamonds all across US America. From Ichiro Suzuki to Takashi Saito to
Kaz Matsui Kosuke Fukudome Hiroki Kuroda, the game has plenty of room for Japanese imports.
If we're lucky, maybe someday we can even borrow the Hiroshima Toyo mascot; 'cuz nothin' says powerhouse baseball like a wet, smelly Carp.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Jeff, I love that description of Ichiro; Systematic, graceful and proud! Perfect! Cool read : )
I am surprised you didnt mention Charlie Manuel once… American Baseball and Japenese Baseball mentioned together must include the American sluggers fame in Japan… albeit 20 years prior to your time in China… but he did manage to drive the Yakult Swallows to the Japanese title…. then the Kintetsu Buffaloes to the playoffs and won the PL MVP that year…. it's not just a oneway street… maybe I'm just biased….
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Jeff I take it Ichiro was from Japan?😉 Haha, thanks for crossing out Kaz Matsui, like the Astros needed more punishment. New post I want you to see.
At least you didn't post the logo for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows….
A Carp? It that really worse then some of the mascots we have? I mean, do you know what the Phillies' mascot is suppose to be??
The game is just handles so much different in the Japanese culture.
The players and the coaches have such a respect level for the game that it is wild to even imagine a hit batsman without reason.
I know a few ex-Rays who have ventured overseas, and they come back telling of the difference not just in the style of baseball, but in the intensity of the crowd with coordinated cheering and noise that masks anything here….even the cowbells.
I have never taken in a Japanese League game, but it is on my "To Do List" for sure. If not for the basic fact of seeing what is in the concession stands, but to see the difference the crowd and the team take our game to another level.

Please, oh Linguistically Worldly One, explain that freaky Korean chicken dance! LOL! At first I thought "oh, they're trying to take off their shoes for a bad-a$s Korean martial arts brawl at the mound", but they all just kept hopping around like idiots! WTF?
Japan does seem passionate about the sport…many Americans who go over there to play get treated like royalty.
Buz – Thanks!
Peter – Had no idea. Thanks for the edumacation.
Ted – Kaz got himself crossed out. Never lived up to the hype.
Mike – Swallows. Now that's a might name!
Juila – The Phillie Phanatic is a REPUBLICAN. Ew.
Prince – They love him over there. He's like Connie Mack in Japan.
RR – LOL. I'd be piecin' on some fried eel. Mmm!
Jonestein – I guess they do that to avoid real fighting. The goal is to knock the other guy over, off balance, but you can only hop on one foot. Fall down and you're out. That's what was explained to me… by an Asian so I think it's pretty valid (albeit odd).
Jenn – Sign me up!
Jeff- I read your blogs occassionally but this is the first time commenting…and I really should have before; forgive me. Anyway, I really enjoyed reading this entry! Not only because I'm a Mariners girl, but because I was born and raised in Tokyo, and my love for baseball was born with watching the Yomiuri Giants with my Dad. After graduating high school I went to U of Wash in Seattle which is why I'm such a huge M's fan :] (Sorry about the mini bio..haha). I know I know, the mascot "Carp" definitely sounds odd here in the states but there's a lot of carp in Japan so…it makes sense to a Japanese :] If we're going with looks, please check out the Yomiuri Giants mascot…now THAT thing is weird…yet adorable.
Thanks for a really fun blog and thanks for getting me homesick…haha just kidding. I'll be back again! XOXO http://diamondgirl55.mlblogs.com
Diamond Girl — Thanks for stopping by and hollerin' at us. Keep comin' back! As for the Giants mascot… is it a giant or a monster or a fox or what the hell is that? LOL.
"…nothin' says powerhouse baseball like a wet, smelly Carp"
Funny how much their logo & uniforms resemble that of the Cincinnati Reds, whose '09 season, coincidentally, reminds one of wet, smelly, Carp.
Thank you, I'll be here all week.
What I'd like to know is are you and Nobby still in touch? Like have you ever invited him over to watch a White Sox or Cardinals game with you? Or better yet, you should take him to a Cubs game and show him how rowdy and insulting fans can be.
Jonestein — Excellent analogy! I'll try the veal😉
Jane — We are indeed, thanks to Facebook and email. He lives in Japan and is raising Ichiro crazy kids nowadays while I philander among the unwed. Great guy. Great fan. Would take him to a Cubs game if he were ever here to show him how the game is NOT supposed to be played.

Bubba Bell Joins PawSox
The legendary Billy Wayne "Bubba" Bell has arrived in Pawtucket.
He was promoted from Double-A Portland on Monday and would have been in the starting lineup if Pawtucket's game against Charlotte hadn't been rained out.
I first started talking about Bubba Bell on our broadcasts in 2007 when he got off to the greatest start in baseball history with Single-A Lancaster.
Think I'm exaggerating?
In the 2nd game of the season, Bell was 4-for-5 with 2 HR and 6 RBI.
In the 3rd game, Bubba was 3-for-5 with 2 HR and 4 RBI.
In the 4th game, he was 4-for-6 with 1 HR and 5 RBI.
In the 5th game, Bubba only managed 1 hit . . . but still drove in 3 runs
In case you didn't do the math, that's 5 HR and 18 RBI after the first 5 games of the season.
Bell stayed with Lancaster for roughly half the season and was named the California League's MVP, batting .370 with 22 HR and 83 RBI in 76 games. Bubba was promoted to Double-A Portland on July 5th, and finished the year with a combined .337 average, 26 HR, and 105 RBI.
From all accounts, he is the classic "dirt dog" . . . a fan favorite who busts his tail on every play. That should be no surprise considering how he got his nickname.
It was given to him before he was born. When his parents learned they were going to have a son, his dad started calling him "Bubba" because he thought it sounded like a good baseball name.
I think his father's name is Nostradamus Bell.
I look forward to calling Bubba Bell's Triple-A debut on Tuesday night.
* * * * *
Clay Buchholz was scheduled to pitch on Monday, but will not start either game of Tuesday's doubleheader. Clay had nearly completed his warm-up tosses before the field had to be covered, so the Red Sox will not have him go through the process again one night later. Kris Johnson will pitch Game 1 and Charlie Zink will take the mound in Game 2.
* * * * *
Jonathan Van Every is back on the disabled list due to a recurrence of his left knee sprain. He was scheduled to be examined by a Red Sox team doctor on Monday. It's been a tough year for JV. He missed most of spring training with an ankle injury and this will be the 2nd time his knee injury has forced him to go on the DL.
* * * * *
Tuesday's twin bill will start at 5:30. I hope you'll join us for the radio call beginning with the pre-game show at 5:15 on the PawSox radio network and PawSox.com.
I'd love to hear from you. The address is email@example.com.

Dan- Just wanted to let you know that I love your blog and read it religiously every day. I'm a father of 3 boys here in Warwick, RI and take my sons to 20 or so Pawsox games a year. Keep up the good work. Maybe I'll see you at Smoltz' start tomorrow.
Brian Hart
Cool to see a new face in Pawtucket.
But what will happen when JVE comes back? Who gets demoted/released?

Defense nominee Chuck Hagel is a decorated Vietnam combat veteran.
TEL AVIV, Israel — Even before he was nominated to become the next U.S. secretary of defense, the bad-mouthing of former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel had already begun.
Warnings flew like salvos across the U.S. media and beyond: Hagel is soft on Iran and no friend of Israel. Tea Party and Republican critics of the moderate and pragmatic Hagel smelled blood.
Ted Cruz, a freshman senator from Texas, said that Hagel "would make war with Iran more likely because he's too nice to Iran."
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said Hagel would be "the most antagonistic secretary of defense towards the state of Israel in our nation's history."
So you would expect to see the vitriol flowing here in Israel, especially just days before a crucial parliamentary election — on Jan. 22 — in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is struggling to head off a late populist surge by an even more right-wing candidate.
But there have been no anti-Hagel protests outside the U.S. Embassy and no angry Israelis heard on radio talk shows. In fact, reaction to all the uproar back home has been muted.
'Dark cloud'
It's true that Israelis in general aren't happy with the nomination. "It represents a dark cloud over the relationship between the two countries, and it borders on hostility," said Simon Schiffer, a political analyst with the Yediot Ahronot daily newspaper.
Hagel's willingness to engage with Iran and its client, Hamas, upsets most Israelis, Schiffer noted. But he went on to say that "U.S. policy towards Israel is set in the White House, and there you can find today a president who has a very warm approach to Israel but at the same time a very angry and cold policy towards Netanyahu and his government."
Related: Hagel — a man without a party
So far, Israeli government reaction has been minimal and mixed. Reuven Rivlin, the powerful speaker of Israel's parliament, the Knesset, told The Associated Press he is worried about Hagel "because of his statements in the past and his stance toward Israel."
But Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, wrapping up a trip to the U.S., told a group of major Jewish organizations that he personally knew and worked with Hagel and found him to be "a decent and fair interlocutor who believes in the natural partnership between Israel and the United States."
Until Sunday there had been not a peep from Netanyahu himself, whose "iron fist" approach to Iran, Hamas and the Palestinian territories seems diametrically opposed to Hagel's instinct for dialogue.
"I do not interfere in the political appointments of the U.S. president. It is his prerogative,'' Netanyahu told Israel's Army Radio. "Congress decides and confirms, and we will work with whoever is chosen.''
One Israeli official told NBC News that Netanyahu's silence doesn't mean he's not angry.
After making the mistake of "backing the wrong horse — [Gov. Mitt] Romney — during the last U.S. election, he's not willing to play that game again," said the official, who was not authorized to speak on the record about policy matters.
'Revenge' for Romney?
Sever Plocker, an influential Israeli commentator, went further by suggesting that Obama picked Hagel as "revenge" for Netanyahu's public support for Romney.
Hagel hasn't yet defended his positions before the U.S. Senate, but he has faced the court of public opinion, emphasizing in recent days his "unequivocal support for Israel." On Iran, he told Defense Department officials Wednesday that he also strongly "supports multilateral sanctions against Iran and that Tehran must be prevented from acquiring nuclear warheads."
Hagel may have gotten into some hot water with a comment — made years ago in Washington — that "the political reality is that …the Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here." But on Monday one of the largest and most active of those "Jewish lobbies" -- the National Jewish Democratic Council -- released a statement saying it believes Hagel "will follow the president's lead in providing unrivaled support for Israel — on strategic cooperation, missile defense programs and leading the world against Iran's nuclear program."
The consensus here is that Netanyahu may enjoy watching Hagel fight for his nomination in Washington, but staying out of the fight is probably a smart move.

i see us going 9-6 in these games possibly even 10-5 if we could steal a win against one of the teams better then us. we get the right production and stuff during the game and we could very well be in real good shape early on
After going to Toronto to get a road win our schedule gets rough, tough, with oponents two to three times better than the Raptors. So we better attack Boston twice as hard as the "LebronLess" Cavs did to take it to a crunchtime game. Doing this may give us the team-confidence we been looking for to gain chemistry for our upcoming Knick schedule.
@ Raptors- won
@ Boston
Portland .... Home Opener!
Orlando ..... 2nd home game
@ Chicago
Washington .... a must win game, after playing the Bulls the night before
Philly ..... 4th home game
@ Bucks
GSW ..... 5th home game
@ Minny
Houston ..... after our 6th home game we go on a road trip for 4 games vs
Do u see us going on a 3 game win streak in our first 14 games?
Owner Dolan only cares about winning our home games (someone better whisper this to Dantoni).
i see us going 9-6 in these games possibly even 10-5 if we could steal a win against one of the teams better then us. we get the right production and stuff during the game and we could very well be in real good shape early on
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
i see a 4 or 5 game stretch there...
...that we could get a streak out of.
The schedule isn't very forgiving to start the season, but that might just bring things together and make the guys play their toughest. We have a lot of guys that shine in the spotlight and under pressure. I think every home game should be a win for this team... after all, the knicks have the best "6th man" in the MSG crowd.
good game thread btw..
The game will be on pretty soon .. aside from a victory, I just hope our team can keep on improving their chemistry .. that to me is the most important thing right now.
Damn, I just realized something .......
Oh yea, I just realized something else.....
Eddie Curry is a ****ing piece of ****
The D is good by the Knicks. The guys are literally smothering the Celts.
The celtics announcers make me wanna
The Knicks started so well, now they all look like they are just standing around.
I hate that new tech foul rule that they called on Wilson. Someday someone is going to lose a game because of that f**kin rule.

Prep boys basketball: Jackets fall to Wirt
ELIZABETH, W.VA. -Dustin Garner scored 13 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter here Thursday night and teammate Kalob Bell canned two foul shots with 23 seconds to go as host Wirt County turned back Williamstown, 72-69, to capture 11th place in the Little Kanawha Conference.
In a battle of rival squads who entered the contest with identical 6-14 marks, Bell ended up leading all scorers with 26 points, a dozen of which came in the second quarter.
"A lot of guys stepped up and made plays. He's (Garner) the reason why we won," said Tiger head coach Tim Murray, whose team concludes the regular season with a road trip Wednesday to Ritchie County.
Hunter Neely, who led the 'Jackets with 23 points, made two free throws to open the fourth and gave the visitors a 52-48 lead. The margin remained at four, 61-57, when Neely scored on a lay-in with 3:46 remaining. However, Garner was in the midst of scoring 11 straight points for the Tigers and although he didn't convert a three-point play with 3:20 left, his deuce from an Austin McVey assist gave the orange and black a 63-62 cushion.
Neely's three-point play later made it 65-63 and the 'Jackets led for the final time at 67-66 when Austin Hall scored inside.
Garner, who finished with three blocks including a pair in the fourth quarter, hit two freebies with 70 seconds left to give Wirt County the lead for good.
Mark Cunningham (nine points, five boards) hit a leaner in the lane from a Garner dish to make it 70-67 with 0:45 showing and the last points of the evening for WHS came on a Dakota Watson lay-in with 28.9 to go.
Bell, though, ended up hitting the two foul shots to extend the Tigers' advantage to three.
Although Tiger Jeremy Kerby was whistled for a foul on a 3-point attempt by Josh Palmer with only three seconds to go, the 'Jacket sophomore couldn't tie the game. He missed the first two foul shots and then turned it over when he tried to intentionally miss the third, but failed to hit the cylinder.
JT Stephens (10 points) hit a 3 that was followed by a Trent Hardbarger basket and a Bell triple as the Tigers took an early 8-2 cushion. Jarric Hoskins tallied all nine of his points in the opening eight minutes and when he scored them all consecutively WHS led 13-12, only to have the hosts rally and take an 18-14 advantage into the second quarter.
Williamstown, which will conduct senior night on Monday when Paden City visits, trailed by a dozen at 32-20 with 2:43 left before intermission when Cunningham jumped up to steal a pass and then deflected the ball to Bell for an easy hoop. The 'Jackets closed the gap to five at 34-29 at intermission as Chandler Weber hit a pair of 3s for part of his 14 points and Neely drained a near 30-footer just before the halftime buzzer.
Josh DeBolt hauled in a game-high 16 rebounds and chipped in seven points for the 'Jackets, who lost 70-67 to the Tigers three days after Christmas in the consolation game of the Wirt County Holiday Tournament.

For Immediate Release
May 6, 2010
IIllinois Students create digital archive of World War II experiences
Documentaries showcase our nation's 'Greatest Generation'
SPRINGFIELD – Students from across the state were recognized Thursday for the digital documentaries they produced featuring World War II veterans. The documentaries, showcased Thursday at the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) offices in Springfield, were made through a project funded by the World War II Illinois Veterans Memorial Board with support from ISBE.
"This is a remarkable learning project that gives students a chance to practice many skills at once," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "These students and World War II veterans help bring history alive as they share precious memories and reflections that will help future generations better understand their sacrifice and legacy."
Winners from more than 35 student teams from 13 school districts across the state were announced during the afternoon ceremony featuring John Carrigan, president of the World War II Illinois Veterans Memorial Board and Superintendent Koch who presented awards. The student team from Reavis High School in Burbank won first place for their documentary, and teams from Williamsville High School took second and third place. The Home Front Award, for interviews with non-veterans, was awarded to the student team from Centennial High School in Champaign.
Prizes ranged from $600 for first place to $100 for honorable mention and will go toward the project winners' schools to purchase additional equipment and supplies for the Illinois WWII Classroom Projects. Six teams of educators and citizens from across the state judged 48 student documentaries.
The documentaries, made through the Illinois World War II Veterans Memorial Board Classroom Project, can be viewed at http://wwii.ltc.k12.il.us. There are more than 100 projects posted on the website and organizers expect several dozen more will be added by the end of the school year. This is the second year of the project.
The Illinois World War II Veteran's Memorial Board provided a $250,000 grant for the project, which is supported by the Illinois Learning Technology Program Centers. Established by the Illinois State Board of Education in 1995, the Learning Technology Program Centers provide Illinois school districts with the technological resources to improve academic achievement and prepare students for the 21st Century.
There are 14 Learning Technology Centers that provide educators with professional development to integrate technology into classroom instruction. The centers also help districts close the achievement gap through the use of technology, guide districts through the development and peer review approval process for technology integration plans, help with grant writing, and provide expertise with network security issues, e-mail and district websites.
Students from the following schools have been involved in the Illinois World War II Veterans Memorial Board Classroom Project to date:
Wilbur Trimpe Middle School, Bethalto CUSD 8, Bethalto
Carlyle High School, Carlyle CUSD 9, Carlyle

Advanced Technology Investment Company, a co-owner of Globalfoundries contract maker of semiconductors, on Monday proposed to acquire Chartered Semiconductor, another contract maker of chips. The transaction will help Chartered to continue developing new process technologies and build new production capacities, whereas ATIC will be able to more efficiently compete with companies like TSMC or UMC.
"We believe that by having access to ATIC's long-term capital and related assets, Chartered has an opportunity to bring its skills, capabilities and leadership to the next level," said Waleed Al Mokarrab, chairman of ATIC.
The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2009. Once the transaction is completed, ATIC will be the sole owner of Chartered. Completion of the transaction will be subject to customary conditions, such as regulatory and shareholder approvals. Each Chartered ordinary share will be acquired by ATIC for a cash consideration of S$2.68 per share. The transaction represents an equity value of approximately $1.8 billion and a total value of approximately $3.9 billion, including debt and convertible redeemable preference shares of approximately $2.2 billion as of June 30, 2009. The price represents a premium of 14.2% to its 30 trading-day volume weighted average price, 26.8% to its 90 trading-day volume weighted average price and 44.2% to its 6-month volume weighted average price on the Singapore Exchange Securities (SGX). The estimated amount of consideration for each American Depositary Share (ADSs) is $18.641. The actual amount per ADS that ADS holders will receive will depend on the applicable prevailing exchange rate, less the amount of applicable ADS depositary's fees, taxes and expenses.
Temasek Holdings, which currently owns approximately 62% of Chartered's shares, fully supports the acquisition and has signed an irrevocable undertaking to vote in support of the transaction.
ATIC is a technology investment company wholly owned by the government of Abu Dhabi. This acquisition is its second major investment in the semiconductor industry and follows the company's March 2009 creation of Globalfoundries together with Advanced Micro Devices.
The transaction will allow ATIC to build on the complementary platforms of Chartered and Globalfoundries with Chartered's customer relationships and capabilities in both 8" and 12" fabrication, and Globafoundries' advanced technology expertise, capacity profile and global footprint.
"Chartered's board of directors recognizes the efforts of the management team and employees on the considerable progress they have made. Given the importance of scale and the need for substantial, continued capital investment, and having carefully assessed all strategic options available to Chartered, we believe this transaction provides Chartered shareholders the opportunity to realize their investment. In addition, it enables Chartered to accelerate its goal of becoming a leading player in the semiconductor industry," said Jim Norling, chairman of the board of directors at Chartered.
For Chartered it is crucial to have a new investor willing to help the company. According to sources with knowledge of the matter, the semiconductor company has not started to invest into next-generation fabs, which means that in about a year or two from now Chartered will not be able to compete for designs that require 32nm or 28nm process technologies. Moreover, the company has lost tremendous amount of money in the last seven years. It is unclear how ATIC plans to make Chartered profitable.
Pending appropriate board approvals, Doug Grose, chief executive officer of Globalfoundries, would serve as chief exec of the combined operations, with Chia Song Hwee, CEO of Chartered, serving as chief operating officer. Chia will also spearhead the integration effort.
"Chartered and Globalfoundries will be able to draw on each other's strengths to enable the next generation of semiconductor innovation, utilizing the value of both companies and the intellectual capital of thousands of skilled employees. Chartered and Globalfoundries are well positioned to meet the growing chip demand to come from billions of new mobile phones, cars, televisions, computers and other devices," said Ibrahim Ajami, CEO of ATIC.
Chartered Semiconductor commands 11.3% of contract semiconductor manufacturing market. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and United Microelectronics Corp. command 14.1% and 49% of the market, respectively, according to iSuppli market research firm.

My ds is four months old. He started sleeping 5-6 hours at night when before he was two months, but my boobs never adjusted. I got worse instead of better. By three months, he was sleeping 7-8 hours at night, sometimes longer and I've been in pain every night since. I've long stopped listening to all those annoying people who go on and on about "sleeping through the night" and I wake him whenever I wake up in pain. What's the point of him sleeping when I can't? Still, we're at four months and I still have these engorgement problems. Will it always be like this or will my boobs ever adjust they way all the books say they should have already?
Sometimes I have problems during the day too, every time he changes his eating pattern. Like today, he wouldn't eat much and every feeding was far apart and he didn't want a second side, so I spent most of the day lopsided and engorged. It made me quite irritable. Why can't I find any information in the books about this? Will I be engorged until I wean? I'm more uncomfortable at night than when I was pregnant and I miss cuddling with my husband.

In 2012, scientists in Montreal warned Canadians to expect there will be fewer outdoor skating days in the future.* Their predictions are based on the results of data taken from weather stations across Canada over the last fifty years. In some parts of Canada, they warn there may one day be no more backyard rinks at all. Remember the story of how Wayne Gretzky learned to play hockey on the backyard rink his father made for him in Brantford, Ontario? The scientists' report says some day that will no longer be possible – at least, not in Brantford.
This prompted a group of geographers at Wilfrid Laurier University to create RinkWatch. We want people from coast to coast to coast to tell us about their rinks. We want you to pin the location of your rink on our map, and then each winter record every day that you are able to skate on it. Think of it as your rink diary. We will gather up all the information from all the backyard rinks, and use it to track the changes in our climate. The RinkWatch website will give you regular updates on the results. You will be able to compare the number of skating days at your rink with rinks elsewhere, and find out who is having the best winter for skating this year.
