King sighed loudly when asked about the march.
"If I had to make the choice today," she says, "it would be different."
She says she participated because the march revolved around several issues -- strengthening the black family; black youth trapped in the justice system -- that were not highlighted by the media.
When asked how she feels about same-sex marriage, she says, "I wouldn't say I'm against same-sex marriage. I believe in freedom and equality for all people. I believe that when it comes to gay marriage, that's a political and legal issue that has to be dealt with in that arena. I have privately held beliefs, but when it comes to that, it's properly placed in the political and legal arena."
Running from a calling
King doesn't belong to a church now. She visits and still accepts preaching engagements. When asked which contemporary pastors she admires, she mentions three whose ministries are very different from that of her father: Bishop T.D. Jakes, Andy Stanley and Joel Osteen.
All three are megachurch pastors who are not known for being "prophetic" like her father. Their ministries are more focused on personal growth and powerful messages than speaking truth to power.
The Rev. Timothy McDonald III, who was Bernice King's youth pastor at Ebenezer, says it makes sense that she would admire them.
"She was angry at one point in her ministry that her father was killed fighting for social justice and feeling that his death had been unappreciated," he says.
"They're the antithesis of Dr. King, and for her psychologically, that's safe," he says.
There's no doubt about her favorite pastor, though.
"My favorite preacher is not with me anymore," she says, "and that's my father."
McDonald says he could imagine when Bernice King was a teenager that she would follow her father into the ministry. She had that rare ability to electrify audiences when she spoke. She connected with youth.
"She ran away from it for a while," he says. "We did a play one year and she played the part of the preacher," he says. "She may have been 17. I said, 'Oh yeah, we'll see where this goes.'"
She eventually was ordained at Ebenezer.
But when she was a teenager, she was still dealing with the loss of her father, he says. Once, the church youth group took a trip to a camp, where they watched a documentary on her father, he says.
"She broke down," McDonald says. "She cried for I don't know how long. Everybody was trying to comfort her. Later she said that was the first time she had really grieved about her father."
Becoming her own person
Outside the pulpit, friends and family say, Bernice King is different from the solemn figure portrayed in the media.
Hints of that warmth came through in the photo session at Ebenezer. She was playful and warm. She displayed a radiant smile and a hearty laugh. (Her father had a beautiful rumbling baritone of a laugh and a mischievous sense of humor in private).
Her cousin Alveda King says she wishes more people could see Bernice King throw her head back and laugh. She and others describe King as someone who loves gospel music, can dance, and sends birthday cards and encouraging notes to people.
They say King lights up when she's around young girls, such as during her visits to the Coretta Scott King Young Women's Leadership Academy, an Atlanta school established in honor of her mother.
When King visits, the girls don't see her as a remote stoic figure, her cousin says.
"Those girls, they cluster around her, they rub her hair and lean all over her and get in those pictures," Alveda King says.
Canady, of the UNCF, says King has a rollicking sense of humor.

Konoha's top 5 hero
for me it's:
what about you?
Last edited by Hyuuga Neji 188; 11-17-2012 at 12:45 PM.
1) Naruto
2) Hashirama
3) Minato
4) Hiruzen
5) Itachi
Hashi's battle was 2nd most important, because he was both fighting for the sake of Konoha AND the peace between the Uchiha and Senju.
Minato's was 3rd most important, because he was only fighting for the sake of Konoha.
Hiruzen was the same as Minato's.
Itachi was only sparing his clan the pain of being killed off one by one, as well as causing a war on Konoha in times of weakness.
Naruto was fighting for the world.

Pain should be in the top 5, considering his actions revived many people. His attack on the Leaf was more like a drill, incase Madara comes back from the dead ba ha ha ha
1. hashi - no question
2. minato - fight with tobi and protect naruto and kushina and the village
3. itachi - an unsome hero... but the pain he recieves was unimaginable
4. naruto -
5. Hiruzen - a great leader not a hero
Minato - sacrificed his life to save the village
Itachi - sacrificed his honour and family for peace(didn't sacrifice his life)
Naruto - defeated pain and turned nagato around so he saved the lives of the villagers
Hashirama - defeated and almost killed madara
Hiruzen - sacrificed his life to defeat orochimaru(I believe konoha would have driven him out eventually anyway)
hashirama NEEDS on the first place because if he didn't defeat madara minato etc.... didn't born
Jiraiya also deserves credit for getting that intel back to Konoha while sacrificing his life.
Had it not been for that one piece of advice, Naruto probably wouldn't have been able to figure out the true pein.

For me its
1. Hashi
2. Minato n hiruzen
3. Itachi
4. Naruto & Jiraiya-sama
1.Naruto-saved willage,protected his frends,fought against pain and many Akatsuki Members,Now he Is fighting in War against Obito and Madara

4.Kakashi-Kakashi has completed 1,141 official missions in total: 197 D-rank, 190 C-rank, 414 B-rank, 298 A-rank, 42 S-rank(he gived all his life to proteckt the leaf)
5.Nagato/Itachi-Bringed Back all the willagers who was killed during his Fight in the leaf(without that Everyone except Naruto wuld ben Killed
5.Itachi/Nagato-sacrificed his honour and family for peace,did allot for the willage.
I go with the opinion of the villagers and some of my thoughts...
1- Minato(For the first time people of Konoha watched a rampaging Kyuubi destroying them but Minato saved them and their future too)
2- Naruto(After Jiraiya's death it was certain to most that Konoha is on the verge to be extinct but Naruto defeated Pain and made him revive the lost ones)
3- Itachi(Unknown hero, sacrificed his family and honor just for the sake of village. Villagers shouldn't be blamed but Itachi was their hero if they knew what happened actually)
4- Hashirama/Hiruzen(Both defeated strong villains who were trying to destroy Konoha still Hiruzen couldn't save few men while Hashirama protected the village to the fullest)
1/ Minato
2/ Hiruzen
3/ tobirama
4/ itachi
5/ hashi
#1_minato(he saved konoha_and left behind a new hero)
#2_sarutobi(he might have made the mistake of leting oruchimaru live,but he tought the new generation well)
#3_itachi(the most honorable uchiha,his sacrifice is what the people of konoha laugh on)
#4_Jiraiya(he mastered thrEe great shinobiz_minato,pein and Naruto;nd hez death was nt the end,for he's will of fire burns in his desiple)
#5_naruto(hez young but he promises the older generation a peaceful feature;his the no1 suprising ninja_and hez the will of all konoha's heros.

If hashi did not beat madara naruto would be fodder so would minato it would just be uchiha vs senju
1. Hashirama
2. Tsunade
3. Naruto
4. Minato
5. Itachi
not in order...
itachi, minato, hashirama, hiruzen, naruto

1) Hashirama - He created the village on his own basically. Most if not all of the trees that surround Konoha were from him.
2) Tobirama - By setting up the Chuunin Exams, he saved Konoha from many potential wars (Chuunin Exams are a substitute for warfare where villages show their prowess through upcoming ninja). Not to mention he put the Uchiha in their place and avoided a potential civil war by using the Konoha Police Force.
3) Naruto - Forget Minato, he's the true hero. If it weren't for him, Minato wouldn't have found it in himself to seal the Kyuubi into anyone else and Kurama would've killed his arse. Jiraiya, however, would've done a better job if Naruto didn't exist. He already saved Konoha before he was a day old. Saved Konoha from Nagato, too (but this is a plot victory, does it even count?).
4) Hiruzen - If it weren't for him, Edo Tobirama would've flooded the world. So in that sense, he's #1. On another note, he was Hokage during a part of the First Shinobi World War, the entire duration of the Second Shinobi World War, and a part of the Third Shinobi World War. Konoha's still standing, this is what we call great leadership.
5) Obito/Itachi - Eh. Obito did most of the killing anyways, Itachi just took the blame. And if it weren't for Itachi and Obito, the rest of the village would've taken down the Uchiha anyways.
Originally Posted by edo x edo

Itachi sacrificed his life twice for the good of Konoha and Sasuke. The first time was so that Sasuke would not blame Konoha for executing the innocents along with the guilty among the Uchiha, which Obito foiled, and the second time was to release Edo Tensei.

Dwight Ashley & Tim Story - Standing + Falling
Quantity in Basket:
Code: nepenthe07
Price: $6.99
Recording artists Tim Story and Dwight Ashley are known for creating introspective albums that probe the more shadowy side of the human psyche. But with their latest collaboration, Standing and Falling, the Ashley/Story perspective turns outward, exploring a curious, color-soaked soundscape replete with surprising twists and turns.
Produced over the span of eight years, Standing and Falling evokes a corresponding sense of time and space, like a slow, sonic ride on an otherworldly Orient Express, with scenery that grows more exotic from track to track. Real-world audio textures suggest a sense of place - but Ashley/Story's idiosyncratic electronic orchestration renders that place unlike any we've seen or visited.
Listeners familiar with Story's taut, haunting melodies or Ashley's dark, guitar-soaked drones may be surprised at a distinctly different element on this album: humor. Track titles like "Ohmen," "Chicken Pot Pie," and "The Curve of Spee" give clue to the listener that even the darker tracks on Standing and Falling are punctuated with witty compositional elements that give the album a wryly cheerful character.
Standing and Falling is an inventive collection of electronic tone poems, arguably the most programmatic Ashley/Story effort to date. Artifacts in a sonic curiosity shop… audio postcards from an alternate universe… pictures at an exhibition of subatomic worlds… whatever one sees in the mind's eye, Standing and Falling will take the listener on a richly textured voyage between the ears.

ISBE DELL e-Broadcast Newsletter 2013.247—Application, Community & Family Engagement Framework, and the Visiting Teachers Program
Thankful for the opportunity to continually serve you, please find our newsletter that focuses on comprehensive planning, community and families, and instruction.
Comprehensive Planning: Preparing for the FY15 Application for TBE/TPI/Title III Funding
The application process for FY15 TBE/TPI and Title III funds will begin soon. To review some of the changes in the process this year, the Division of English Language Learning will offer a Webinar on Monday, December 16 from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m.
- The Enrollment Summary and Ceiling Calculator (Part I of the application), available on IWAS beginning December 1, 2013, is much shorter this year and does not contain school level enrollment information or funding ceilings. Districts that want to apply for funds must create and submit an application on IWAS. In Part I, districts must confirm that ELL Student information on SIS has been reviewed for accuracy. The deadline for submission of Part I to ISBE is January 31, 2014.
- SIS student records determine your district's funding level. Districts are responsible for ensuring that English learner and immigrant student data on SIS is accurate and complete by March 1, 2014. Multiple data elements are used to calculate funding levels for FY15. Funding formula data will be extracted once for all districts in the state on the same date in early March. This data will be final and will generate TBE/TPI, LIPLEPS and Immigrant Education Program funding allotments that will appear in the TBE/TPI and Title III Application (Part II) on IWAS.
- The TBE/TPI and Title III Application (Part II) will be available on IWAS on May 1, 2014. It must be submitted to ISBE by June 30, 2014.
To reserve your seat for the December 16th Webinar now go to:
After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the Webinar.

Community and Family Engagement Framework
The Illinois State Board of Education has released a draft framework on engaging communities and families. Produced by leaders in multiple divisions across ISBE and reviewed by stakeholders and parents across the state, the framework is available for public review and feedback.
Make a point of seeing http://www.illinoisparents.org/ISBE.aspx and completing the survey. Please know we look forward to your feedback.
Instruction: Recruiting Visiting Teachers From Spain for the 2014-2015 School Year
The Ministry of Education in Spain and ISBE are sponsoring a teacher-exchange program whereby English-speaking teachers come to the United States to teach for three years and then return home. These teachers cover many of subject areas—but the chance to have a person from another country "in residence" in an American school is a valuable opportunity for the students, staff, and community. Visiting teachers from Spain have the appropriate state license and an International Visiting Teacher license with a bilingual endorsement. Districts interview and hire visiting teachers in much the same way that they hire American teachers.
The visiting teachers make a one to three year commitment to teach in the United States provided that the school district agrees to rehire them. Participating districts employ these teachers in accordance with local regulations and policies. Teachers are paid according to their experience and certification level.
ISBE tests the candidates' language proficiency and verifies their qualifications for an International Visiting Teacher License.
Visiting Teachers have at least three years of experience. The 45 teachers hired in 2013 to work in 13 Illinois school districts are highly qualified to teach early childhood, elementary, middle and high school that may include areas such as special education, ESL, math and science.
Districts interested in learning more about the Visiting Teachers Program may attend a meeting in person or by phone.
Please RSVP by January 17, 2014 by calling Jorge Berne at 312-814-5696 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com .
Meeting and participation details are found below or on our website.
Who: Illinois School Districts Recruiting Teachers for the 2014-2015 School Year
What: Informational Briefing on the Visiting Teachers Program
Where: James Thompson Center, 100 W Randolph, 14th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60601
Date: Friday, January 24, 2013
Conference Call#: 1-888-494-4032

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Jack Morris was entrenched as one of the American League's best pitchers in 1983, the year of this Topps card, and that continued. He won 20 games, which would be a career-high until 1986, and led the American League with a career-best 293.2 innings pitched. He finished third in the AL Cy Young voting for the second time in three seasons, won this time by the White Sox's LaMarr Hoyt.

Solution in search of problemAugust 17,2013
Solution in search of problem
As a former board member of Montpelier Alive and a local restaurant owner, I continue to be disappointed by Montpelier Alives support for parklets. Jon Andersons recent letter to the editor in support of parklets is based on the premise that Montpelier can be like Burlingtons Church Street. The Church Street Marketplaces success was not created when they allowed outdoor seating. It was a strategic approach that included consideration of existing demographics (numerous colleges, rapidly expanding population and a Canadian tourist base), the natural marketing value of Lake Champlain and development partners willing to attract national retailers and their associated national marketing budgets.
Restaurant development was seen as key to meeting the needs of potential customers. The increase in traffic caused by summer tourism demanded expanded outdoor seating, not only because it is nice to eat outside, but mainly because the customer base dramatically expanded during the summer, particularly the later months of summer as the new college year started and no one could afford to create permanent seating to meet that peak demand. When demand was not high enough to fill seats and stores during early summer, Burlington created a jazz festival to attract more customers.
When meeting with city officials about parklet development I have been shown pictures of New York City. I have been told about Church Street, San Francisco, Montreal and even Aspen. I have repeatedly explained that we are not any of those places; we do not have the hotels, colleges, nationally branded chains, population, events, brand or the geographic feature that draws dramatically increased traffic in summer months.
I have been told to read the UCLA Parklet Study. I did. It strongly suggests parklets be public places and their goal is to make urban areas more livable, not benefit one business at the expense of another.
When speaking with Montpelier Alive board members, I have asked why this program is so important. It seems parklets were originally designed as additional public green spaces but the City Council required them to be commercial spaces using parking places so that restaurants could have more outdoor seating. Apparently, this program is very important to some elected officials, but I cant understand why.
I am unaware of any restaurant or group of restaurants that asked the city and Montpelier Alive to act on their behalf, yet some restaurants receive a dramatic increase in seating, at minimal cost. Combine this with the lost parking spaces in the heart of our shopping district, and the city, working with Montpelier Alive has decided to create a significant competitive advantage for a few, a competitive disadvantage for others and inconvenience our driving customers. Wow, a trifecta.
I have always supported Montpelier Alive and the city, but this time, all I can say is, Great job finding a solution in search of a problem. You have managed to negatively impact businesses and customers.

The 6-foot-5 guard led the Rebels in scoring last season (13.6 PPG) while also averaging 3.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists. He will be eligible immediately since he's already graduated.
"(Head coach Fred Hoiberg) does a good job with guys who transfer," Dejean-Jones told the Des Moines Register. "I've seen Iowa State play. There's good chemistry with everyone."
Dejean-Jones will be expected to fill the loss of senior Cyclones guard DeAndre Kane, who helped lead the Cyclones to the Sweet 16 this past season.
The Cyclones also received a commitment from junior college standout Darien Williams, who averaged more than 16 points and nearly seven rebounds a game for Iowa Western Community College this past season.
"I am versatile and I can put the ball on the floor and I can shoot it. I grew up playing inside so I block shots at times, so I just bring a lot of versatility, which is obviously what Iowa State is about," Williams told the Ames Tribune.
The 6-foot-8 Williams will have surgery on both shoulders and will redshirt this upcoming season.

Drum Fill Friday, For June 13
By Robin Hilton • Jun 13, 2014
Originally published on October 14, 2014 10:49 am
You don't always have to love the music to appreciate the talent behind it. Some of the artists featured in this week's puzzler are masters in genres I rarely reach for (fusion anyone?), but lord are they gifted musicians. I also think some of the fills in this batch are particularly challenging, but give a listen and see how you do. Safe drum fill-naming, heroes!

By Tom Philpott: FNM columnist
Service members nearing the end of their careers will find it easier than first thought to transfer new Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits to their spouse or children, under Department of Defense regulations.
And service members who elect to transfer GI Bill benefits will be allowed to modify or revoke that decision at any time, thus keeping control of a benefit with an average start value estimated at $75,000 to $90,000.
Bob Clark, assistant director of accession policy in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, discussed the transferability feature of the new GI Bill in some depth during a recent phone interview.
The details should comfort many long-serving careerists — including enlisted members facing high-year tenure rules or officers facing mandatory retirement — who worried about being denied transferability because they might not meet a requirement in law to serve four additional years.
Clark said the four-year requirement will be relaxed, and for some waived entirely, for individuals near to retirement.

It's up to you to tell us who should be part of the Phillies All-Time team. During the winter, we'll unveil one position at a time for you to vote on. After all the votes are tallied, and all the position filled, we'll release the results. Make your vote count!
Below are the top choice and their totals as a member of the Phillies. WAR is used from Baseball-Reference.
- Ryan Howard (7+ seasons, 2005 ROY, 2006 MVP, 3x all star, 1 WS champ): .271 avg, .915 OPS, 300 HR, 920 RBI, 16.8 WAR
- John Kruk (6 seasons, 3x all star): .309 avg, .861 OPS, 62 HR, 390 RBI, 17.3 WAR
- Pete Rose (5 seasons, 4x all star, 1 WS champ): .291 avg., .726 OPS, 8 HR, 255 RBI, 0.3 WAR
Who we're voting for:
-Ian Riccaboni: For me, Ryan Howard is the Phillies Greatest First Baseman ever, primarily based on his impressive first five seasons in the Major Leagues. Yet Howard's body of work is less important in Philadelphia than, say, his comparative longevity – Howard already has played the second most games at first base among Phillies all-time despite not reaching the Majors until age 25, which is either a testament to Howard's durability up until 2012 or a tribute to the fact that the Phillies almost never had a consistent threat at first base.
-Pat Gallen: The numbers above speak loudly. Ryan Howard helped change the face of the Phillies franchise, helping lead them to a title in championship-starved town. He put up one of the best offensive seasons ever by a first baseman in 2006. Pretty easy choice.Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

No Dick Allen nomination?
@stickballking: I certainly agreed with your question. Dick Allen played as many seasons with the Phillies as Howard and and the two other selections. Allen rightfully deserves recognition here.
No way, Bruce! Most of his time at first with the Phils was after he came back, and those weren't Richie Allen seasons.
It's really not the lack of games, it's the lack of quality play at the position that limits him to 3rd, in which he rightfully has zero shot at the honor.
You're both right Ian and Ken. I didn't have my "thinking" cap" on. 🙂
I jumped in with too quickly in defense of Allen without checking his career info on defense. Yes, I knew before and forgot Allen was an excellent 3rd Baseman for the Phillies before switching to 1B full time when traded.
Pete Rose leadership alone hits,runs,stolen bases,doubles,triples come on ryan howard is not a leader or a cluthch hitter
In 1980, all of those hits, doubles, triples, etc. amounted to a line of .282/.352/.354 for a .706 OPS and 99 wRC+, meaning he was about an average hitter. He also played poor defense that year, as he did for most of the latter part of his career.
I could go through the stats on Rose's clutch hitting that year, but I'll just say that they're mixed, while Howard has been one of the best clutch hitters in baseball in recent years.
Kruk and Howard were different types of hitters but very close overall. But Rose (with the Phillies) wasn't really in their league.
Richie Allen
Howard's career beginning is a powerful presence to get him in the discussion. Had something like that continued for about a 10 year run, you could fairly comfortably put him at the top. Although Rose started his Phillie career at age 38, 4 of the 5 years were a net sum of either all around excellence, or close to it, and it's not like he's an unequivocal choice, but selecting Howard is a vote against acknowledging the importance of all around game. Howard's an "okay" choice, but his late career start, and at least signs of late career not great play sure make it tough. Kruk's a discussable candidate, but if you measure the length of all star level type play out of the field, Dick Sisler should probably be a choice as well.
Unfortunately, this is a pretty good example of the difficulty of this topic in the first place. The long history of this team is reasonably sad. It's probably like some of the "newer" franchises, that have been around for 50 years. You'll find all-time selections that don't exactly keep embarrasing out of mind. The storied franchises maybe wind up with 1-2 position players at absolute most that don't represent the all time quality of what you'd expect for an all time player. First base is one of five positions (first, catcher, shortstop, left field) where the Phils don't have the level of player you'd expect for a century plus old club. In a way, it adds to the charm of the Phils, and you can't lose fact of it being the homwtown team, but it's a shame this project isn't one of 8 position joy rides.
Vote goes to Pete, with the hope that Ryan can finish strong enough to rake doubt out of the discussion. Most people shortchange how good Rose was. They were too bust hating him as a player, or underrate the heart and mentality of a passionate baseball genius. Even in his age 38-42 years.
I'd love to hear your definition of all-around game. AS A PHILLIE… AS A FIRST BASEMAN… I guess all-around game doesn't include power (Rose had none). It certainly doesn't include speed (Rose stole 51 bases over 5 years, which is better than Howard but 10 SB per season doesn't constitute someone having speed) or defense (Rose posted a -9 dWAR over five seasons, which is in Howard territory). So Rose AS A PHILLIE was good at hitting the ball – he average 165 hits per season which is 3 better than Howard. Per season, Rose hit about 27 doubles to Howards 30, 1 HR to Howard's 44, drove in 51 runs to Howards 136, scored 78 runs to Howards 98, walked 65 times to Howard's 83… but hey, at least he didn't swing at bad pitches, right? I'll give you that… but if ALL of that stuff is true above, who cares?
That question of my definition is either rhetorical or sarcastic, but I'll answer it. My definition is a combination of mental, physical and emotional.
Stolen bases, which you alluded to are only a portion of forming an opinion on a baserunner.
Regarding Rose and his batting average and power, two thoughts. One, I don't particularly care how much it goes agaist conventional thiking, association of power by position is fool's gold. I don't expect a first baseman to hit for power just because it's both a time honored notion, and more of a natural course for guys to play that position who fit the power hitter prototype. Besides that, power is typically measured by extra base hit measures, which isn't wrong, but there's something to be said for a guy who constantly hit the ball hard. The reason Howard is fairly in the discussion, but not clearly at the top is because he has a record of excellent power numbers. Even at the time Pete was a Phillie, the other aspects of the game, as I stated before, and continue to believe is because of his all around game.
So let me get this straight. In your mind, Rose was a better choice to represent the Phillies AT team at first base because of his mental and emotional prowess. And because of stuff that can't be measured in numbers – like how he received a relay throw and how he ran the bases (a point made while totally disregarded numbers… things like doubles and runs scored, which Howard had more of).
It's not just the power… he's better in almost every facet of the game, by the numbers.
I'm going to stop short of saying that Howard deserves to be treated like Mike Schmidt… Howard has certainly descended from his 140-165 OPS+ years BUT two years ago he posted a 126 OPS+ so the descent (excluding last season which was an aberration) has not been as exaggerated as people on here make it seem. He does need to get himself back into shape – he needs to beat this achilles thing and come into camp with a fire under his rear burning to bring us back to the postseason. I won't make excuses for him if he comes back overweight and on a honeymoon hangover. I don't like the distractions… the big house, the new wife… none of that bodes well for this key offseason (and we haven't heard much on the Ry-Ho front) but I have always supported him because he has worked hard in the past. He's not going to be a slap hittter… he's probably never going to be able to hit lefties but if he can lay off those low and away pitches a little bit better and continue to drive in runs (if I'm his coach, I want him swinging the bat) he's going to carry us like he always has and he has the potential to be a HOF'er.
Point about the relay positioning was an example of how I wouldn't be so quick to just call Rose an average first baseman during his time here, which somebody with a long name posted here. Point stands as a simple one, it's a bit of a leap to say that's a reason he's who I'd take as the Phillies all-time first baseman.
Holy cow man….Is Bland your name or a description of your post? Ryan Howard is great but unappreciated. He reminds me of how people hated Mike Schmidt until after he retired. Eventually he will be appreciated for his performance.
I thought the comment about my name easily fell into the category of ignorant. I take shots with the best of them when the context is appropriate, but your ignorance, hidden behind some disguised name seems quite deserving of the term I used.
It's a little hasty to project Howard being appreciated more like Schmidt after his career. It's certainly possible, but…
Schmidt's all around game at least made him easier to appreciate while he played. The volume of frustration with his perceived cool, and strikeouts were accentuated, but I think it's fair to say that many of his detractors, while he played were more hot and cold toward his game than Howard's. Howard looks at a 1-2 slider from a lefty, and the collective agony barely subsides. Howard will leave behind a bunch of fond memories, and respect, but I can't help but feel he needs to show some uptick over the last 3-4 years of his career before he draws the measure of appreciation Schmidt did post career.
Rose did help bring a WS to Philly for the first time, and was a big reason but I feel mostly with his attitude and leadership in the club house. I am not sure about his stats, but my eye test says he was at the time he played in Philly was an average defensive first basemen, and I also have to take into account the position of first base, which was a power position. I can not speak to first basemen prior to 1971 season since that is when I become aware of the phillies at age 6. I will say my favorite all time first basemen was Willie Monteneze(sp) from my child hood. I know he does not deserve to be on this list, but he was a great guy to watch.
Lemme ask you a question. Ball's hit to the outfield for a base hit. Every player on the field has to react to set up reactively if there's a runner on.
30 first basemen in the game. Of the 30 during Rose's stay here, where in the order of being properly aligned for the throw back, or relay would you think Rose would be?
Defense is not all physical.
Guillermo Montanez used to catch the ball at first base in a very colorful way. In the time between Willie and Pete, the position was handled pretty routinely. Then Pete came along and started spiking the ball on the 3rd out. Ever see Pete spike a ball when there was less than 2 outs? Nope.
I forget the circumstance, but Dallas came blitzing out of the dugout 1 game to argue with the ump. The ump pleaded his case, and Dallas shouted bvack at him, "Pete Rose don't make those kind of mistakes."
Feel free to find me any mistake Pete ever made on the baseball field.
Funny that Kruk beat out Pete Rose for the Phillies All VET team but say you could
have Rose for 15 seasons wouldn't he beat out Ryan Howard and John Kruk ?
Rose's Phillies career 4 All Star appearances in 5 seasons. Come On.
We all know who you would want especially if Ryan falls flat on his face.
ROSE is on the 100 Greatest Players Team
and should be showed Respect for only 5 seasons 1/3 of a career in PHILLY.
I sat next to him in Clearwater on my 50th Birthday March 7th 2000.
Schilling walked over and asked Pete who he was betting on that day.
ROSE is just someone would haver been in the HALL if he just told the
Truth from the beginning and that is Why I'm all about the TRUTH.
I live and breathe it but its been awhile since I was Laid.
Truth doesn't help in many matters. My ex-wife was Fat.
One Day ROSE will be in the Hall of Fame
Not Kruk but will Ryan make it ???
ROSE id the King of Hits in MLB History. Don't forget that.
And he is ASSUME and the One Reason we won the 1980 World Series.
Especially him catching that fly ball when Boone dropped it.
Ask yourself that question
What Phillie could Not be replaced in that 1980 season ?
Reparations for Vietnam Vets
Baltimore Bob
Rose should be in the hall of fame, and I believe will be in the next decade. Howard and Kruk won't ever be in the hall. But the object here is not to compare their careers.
It's to compare their time with the Phillies, and both Howard and Kruk were much better as Phillies than Rose was.
Rose had two pretty good seasons with the Phillies, and, magical as it was, 1980 was not one of them.
There's no doubting that Pete Rose was a better player over the course of his career… the question is, "Who is the best person to represent the Phillies on an All-Time team?" You don't associate the Phillies with Pete Rose – you don't associate Pete Rose with the Phillies. There is no point in comparing their numbers in terms of contributions to this franchise because Howard wins hands down. The only way you can come to the conclusion that Pete Rose deserves a vote is if you say, "He was the best person to ever play 1B in a Phillies uniform." To which I would agree BUT you could also say that Joe Morgan is the best second baseman in Phillies history (he did play here at age 39). In my opinion, you have to isolate the player's performance as a Phillie and overall contributions the franchise when selecting these teams and when you do that, Rose falls short.
And Kruk will get to the Hall of Fame – when he buys a ticket
or basically they probably let him in for FREE.
Kruk did NOT bring the Phillies a World Series Championship
enough said.
Reparations for Vietnam Vets
Baltimore Bob
Absolutely loved the passion conveyed in your post. Helluva job!
ROSE batted .393 against the Phillies.
Reparations for Vietnam Vets
Baltimore Bob
Perhaps you need to look closer at the numbers. 6 seasons – 17.3 WAR
Howard 7+ seasons – 16.8 WAR
That's right, fewer seasons but higher WAR.
Put it this way, who would you rather have coming to bat – Kruk or Howard (after the shift was deployed)? You cringe at Howard coming to bat, you cheer for Kruk.
Don Hurst?
The better question might be Who is hotter? Ryan Howard's wife, or Pete Rose's girlfriend?
Kruk also spent a lot of time in the outfield, so some of his numbers aren't what they appear.
The real problem here is that the Phils have never had really great candidates at 1st base. Even at catcher, the minimum was Ruiz with 6+ seasons. At 1st, that's closer to the maximum.
Howard has put up some monster seasons, and still has time left, so he'll most likely end up as the best. The rest are history. I just don't think that 5-6 seasons fits with "all-time," good or bad.
Hey, Don Hurst should have been included among the candidates. Sure, he played back in the Dark Ages, but in six and a half years with the Phillies (1928-1934) he batted .303 and he led the NL in RBIs with 143 in 1932.
On the subject of first basemen who've filled gaps for the Phillies between players of greatness, and dating back to times when even mediocore players were larger than life, former Phil Ed Bouchee passed away. I ever so maybe not even barely remember Bouchee playing for the Phils, but I so vividly remember the legendary story that circulated that he threw a ball from home plate out of the ballpark. Whether it was Connie Mack or not, I don't know. Anyway, I figure 1 or 2 people around here remember him, so here's the obit.
Nobody mentioned Eddie Waitkus.
Got shot in the chest midseason 1949 by a deranged stalker and almost died but returned to first with the Whiz Kids and hit .284 (despite suffering from PTSD)ranking MVP-24 in the league.
Excellent hitter for average with little power but an obviously tough bird. Aside from recovering from a devastating shooting, Eddie also won 4 bronze stars during WWII.
I'd give him honorable mention at 1st if only for his pluck.

Sharon Molloy: dog whisperer
March 5, 2014 —
Pet portrait artist Sharon Molloy is on a spiritual journey. Born and raised in the U.K. and classically trained at the Winchester School of Art, she left England at age 21 and headed east. "I began my journey by traveling to India, searching for something," she recalled during a recent interview. Unsure of what that "something" was, the artist found herself studying meditation, and soon her path led her to Thailand and then Japan, seeking "inner truth and inspiration through artistic expression."
Relaxing by a fire at her turn-of-the-century farmhouse in Parksville, NY, Molloy shared some of the philosophy that drives her artwork, musing on life, death and the Buddhist principles that infuse her paintings seamlessly—allowing herself to "let go" and "immerse in a higher self," freeing her mind and channeling creativity from the cosmos. "When I'm painting, the limited self vanishes," she expressed. "That's when you discover who you really are." Upon completing her training, Molloy made a living as a muralist, specializing in the art of trompe l'oeil—a French term literally meaning "trick the eye." It's a style of painting that gives the appearance of three-dimensional or photographic realism, and unbeknownst to her at the time, would come to serve the artist well as her path led to those with four legs.
"There was never an intention to paint pets," she said. "It just happened quite naturally, which is always the best way. One day I was painting the arch at the Livingston Manor library and the next?" My attention steered to the walls of her studio; dogs and cats, various creatures large and small, are everywhere. "When I pick up a brush, it's a form of meditation and I'm able to feel the soul of an animal. It always starts with their eyes. Part of me vanishes and the spirit of the dog or cat speaks to me in a magical, transformational way."
It all began about five years ago after the passing of Molloy's faithful companion, Georgie. "I was grieving, looking at a picture of my dog and just started to paint," she says. "Since animals are not known for sitting perfectly still, a photograph works best." As she painted, Molloy felt liberated, feeling the love embrace her from the other side. "We all teach each other from the very essence of our being," she shared. "That's how animals are—they can't speak in the traditional sense. Animals are not judgmental. They're not thinking about the past or the future; they live in the moment, something I believe we should all strive to do."


text: DD is 4 months old. I feel so bad, yesterday morning DH had to give Tessa her first bottle of formula while I was at the gym. My supply has been tanking lately, maybe due to stress, stopping fenugreek, or possibly AF, and Tessa is on a huge growth spurt (4 month spurt). Usually, I'm able to pump & DH gives Tessa a bottle of EBM while I'm at the gym & shopping (my me time), but lately, I have nothing to pump. I started up the fenugreek again to help my supply and am also suspecting PPAF may be trying to show as I've had off/on spotting the past 4 days. I don't know if this is officially AF yet as I don't have red flow or what's going on. At any rate, my hormones must be wacky though to be having spotting going on. My freezer stash is shot. There is nothing left in there. Fortunately, she did take the formula. Hopefully, my supply will rebound in a few days. I did take some time off from the gym the past 2 weeks because of a sore neck, but that has caused my stress to go through the roof, so I've decided I need to start up the gym again. (I don't think my supply is tanking because of the exercise as I've been going to the gym since about 3 weeks PP. I'm not losing weight and am careful to eat extra since I don't really have weight to lose.) I wish I wouldn't be so hard on myself at having to give her formula. It makes me feel like a failure as a mom I'm going to try to nurse as often as possible and drink more water (I'm bad about that). Hopefully, my supply will rebound in a few days.

What You'll Need: scriptures, Plan of Salvation Cut-Outs, GAK 240: Jesus the Christ, coloring page, coloring tools.
You can also choose to download the pdf of LESSON 42 for easy printing. If you download, please leave a comment here on what you like about this lesson.
Scripture: Moses 1:39 - For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.
Opening Song: I Am a Child of God (PCS#2)
Note: Start by downloading a Plan of Salvation Cut Out pdf file. You only need to print the page of the chart you intend to use. Print onto card stock. Cut out all pieces and become familiar with the layout. I recommend practicing a few times before FHE.
Heavenly Father made a plan for our lives. This plan included before we lived on earth and what will happen after we die.
- Before we were born where did we live? (with Heavenly Father)
(Lay down Pre-Mortal Life piece. Put grey child there to symbolize our spirit body)
We lived with heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. We were God's spirits without bodies.
(Lay down Birth piece)
When we were born we left Heavenly Father's presence and came to earth as a baby and got a physical body.
(Lay down Earth piece. Lay colored child piece on top of grey piece to show spirit and body joining.)
On earth we would learn the difference between right and wrong and choose for ourselves what we would do. Our Heavenly Father knew that we would make mistakes. But he would send Jesus Christ to help us.
After we die our body stays on earth.
(Lay down Red arrow with tomb. Leave colored child's piece there. Lay down Spirit World piece)
Our Spirit goes to a place with all the other spirits who have passed away.
(Lay down grey child piece)
If we know about Jesus Christ we go to Spirit Paradise. Others who have not heard about Jesus Christ while they were on earth get to learn about Him.
After we live in the Spirit World, we get judged. At this time we are resurrected and our physical bodies and spirit bodies come together again, but now our physical body is perfect.
(Lay colored child piece on top of spirit again.)
Heavenly Father knows our hearts and the decisions we made while one earth. We go to one of three Kingdoms.
(Lay down three kingdoms and arrows)
The very best place to go is the Celestial Kingdom. There we can live with Heavenly Father and our families. It's goodness is like the brightness of the sun.
The next place is the Terrestrial Kingdom. It's goodness is like the brightness of the moon. It's not as good as going to the Celestial Kingdom.
The third place we can go is the Telestial Kingdom. It's goodness is like the brightness of the stars. People in the Kingdom are sad because they don't get to see Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ every day like those in the Celestial Kingdom.
If we obey the commandments as best we can and follow Jesus Christ and his teachings, we can become baptized, receive the Holy Ghost, attend the Temple and live with Heavenly Father again in the Celestial Kingdom and be happy forever. And that is what Heavenly Father wants for each of His children.
God has given us families, scriptures, the gospel and Prophets to help us. These things teach us how to return to Him. We have Family Home Evening because we want our entire family to be able to live together in the Celestial Kingdom some day.
(Show GAK 240: Jesus the Christ)
Heavenly Father knows we will make mistakes so He sent Jesus Christ to help us repent when we make wrong decisions. If we do our best, we can live with Heavenly Father again someday.
Bear your testimony about the plan of salvation and your desire to live with heavenly Father someday with your entire family.Bear testimony that Jesus Christ made it possible by being our Savior.
Practice Song: If you are teaching your family the OCTOBER Song of the Month, go over the words and music with your family.
Activity: Choose from the following activities as they best suit your family.

I am a Child of God (make arm actions like rocking a baby)
And He has sent me here (point towards the sky - then down to the ground)
Had given me an earthly home (make hands into a roof shape like a housetop)
With parents kind and dear (clasp arms over chest like a hug)
Lead me (hold out right hand palm up)
Guide me (hold out left hand palm up)
Walk beside me (make walking motions with arms)
Help me find the way (put hand over brow as if searching for something)
Teach me all (hold hands in front of you like an open book)
That I must do (point to chest with thumb)
To live with Him someday (point towards Heaven)

text: I have been having supply issues from the get go. I am a single mom with a full time job and 3 kids. I have the easiest time pumping every 3 hours at work, where there is no one else who needs something. At home is a whole different story. It seems like whenever I want to pump after her feedings, one of the other kids will have some catastrophe or be ready for dinner, or something comes up, and I'm not able to pump right away, and next thign I know it's an hour and a hlaf later! She's only nursing about 3 or 4 minutes on each side before there's nothing left. And she tends to go about 4 or 5 hours between feedings sometimes!!! I set an alarm for every 3 hours, but with 2 other kids and no one to help, there is inevitably something coming up that I wind up not even realizing the alarm went off, or else I just cant stop what I'm doing! Now on top of that I have a secind job cleaning that I can't give up b/c it has to pay for daycare suring the day. And these people want it sone as fast as possible so now I have to go about 4-5 hours between too! I am finding it impossible to pump when I'm not at work, b/c I just don't have anyone to help me take care fo the kids so I can. I can't even get 10 minutes to do this! Is there anyway to rebuild and keep up a supply like this? I don't know what to do, I am so frustrated!!! I don't want to stop nursing her, but tat this point she has forumla about half the time anyway, so am I stessing and worrying for no reason? Is it not even worth the effort if she's on that much formula anyway? I'm on Reglan and it seems to help, but my doctor is only letting me use it for about 2 weeks!

September 22, 2011 —
On the 9th, 10th and 11th of September, Barb and I enjoyed the opportunity to attend the annual Bamboo Rod Makers Gathering at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center. Rod makers from 24 states plus Japan and Canada came to the gathering. A total of 134 men and women were in attendance. Seminars ranged from a talk on "George Halstead and his rods and ferrules," by Jed Dempsey and John Feldenzer, to Tim Abbott on bamboo fly rod tapers and how to develop them, to the advantages and disadvantages of various glues used in the making of bamboo rods by a panel of Jed Dempsey, Tim Abbott and John Zimny. Some of this information was above my pay scale; however, I came away with a much greater understanding of how a bamboo fly rod is put together. All of these fellows that I talked to played down the amount of craftsmanship necessary to build a bamboo fly rod. Maybe so, but I think I will stick to buying them rather than attempting to build one myself.
On Saturday afternoon, about 30 fly rods were made available for anyone to pick up and cast. Needless to say, I tried them all. Some bamboo rods are made of six individual strips of bamboo, making them hexagonal in shape. Others are made using five strips, making them pentagonal in shape, while others are made of four strips, being referred to as quadrates. It made no difference whether the rod I was casting was made of six individual strips of bamboo, or five strips or four strips. I liked every one of them. Unfortunately, before I even picked up the first rod, Barbara Ann took away my credit card. A number of these rods were not only excellent casting tools, but were so beautifully finished they would be at home in a jewelry store or a fly shop.
On September 13, Barb, Val Reinhardt and I attended a meeting of the Dave Brandt Chapter of Trout Unlimited (TU) up in Oneonta, NY. Roy Lamberton, of the Clear Water Chapter of TU, gave a Powerpoint presentation of stream improvement work that has successfully been done on the Battenkill River in Vermont. A loose confederation of TU chapters, using the name "Catskill Waters Friends," is planning on doing a stream improvement project on the East Branch of the Delaware in the area of the Tommanex State Forest access. A meeting is set for October 25 at that access. The meeting will be attended by Federal Fish and Wildlife representatives and members of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
They will advise the TU chapters of how to construct this project so that it will withstand flows of up to 20,000 cubic feet per second. If the project proves to be successful, this type of work will be done on both the Beaverkill and Willowemoc. Hopefully, all TU chapters whose members fish Catskill Rivers will become involved in Friends of Catskill Waters.
This column seems to be read by some very unexpected people. In the "Hardy Brothers Cup Competition" article, I inadvertently offended a citizen of the United Kingdom. I had stated that the rod built to commemorate Hardy Brothers winning the 1911 C. C. de France casting competition had been built by Tom Moran. A Mr. Callum Gladstone also was involved in building this rod. My column failed to give Mr. Gladstone the credit he was due. I hereby sincerely apologize to Callum Gladstone. Thus, hopefully avoiding an international incident.

Stand up for Reno petition started
STEUBENVILLE – A group calling itself Big Red Nation has started an Internet petition calling for people to stand up and support Steubenville High School football coach Reno Saccoccia.
"Coach Saccoccia has devoted the past 30-plus years of his life to Steubenville City Schools, Big Red football and the City of Steubenville. He has helped countless students, families and citizens of this great community. It is our turn to support him and his family," states the message on the www.change.org.
It is the same website that carries an online petition calling for Steubenville Superintendent Mike McVey to fire Saccoccia.
The petition supporting Saccoccia was started Tuesday and had more than 500 signatures this morning.
A message from Big Red Nation said the petition, "and all of the comments will be given to the Steubenville Board of Education to let them know we support Reno and expect them to support him, too."
The change.org website describes itself as "the world's largest petition platform, empowering people everywhere to create the change."
Change.org claims more than 25 million users in 196 countries, "and every day people use our tools to transform their communities – locally, nationally and globally."
A rally that had been planed for Saturday to support Saccoccia has been postponed until later this month after a special grand jury meets to investigate all aspects of a rape case that has brought national and international attention to the city and the high school football team, organizers said Wednesday.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine called for the grand jury to be convened this month following the juvenile rape trial.
"I have reached the conclusion that this investigation cannot be completed, that we cannot bring finality to this matter without the convening of a grand jury. I am asking the Jefferson County Common Pleas Court to convene a grand jury to meet on or about April 15. My prosecutors will present evidence to this grand jury for it to determine if other crimes have been committed," DeWine announced after two Steubenville High school students were found delinquent last week in Jefferson County Juvenile Court for the rape of a 16-year-old Weirton girl last year.
Ma'Lik Richmond was sentenced by visiting Juvenile Judge Thomas Lipps to a one-year sentence andTrent Mays to a two-year term in an Ohio Department of Youth juvenile detention facility.
According to the Change.org website, the petition calling for the termination of Saccoccia was initiated by Elizabeth Beier of Cockeysville, Md.
"We respect the legal system and will wait until the grand jury meets to investigate the case. After the grand jury concludes its work we will respond appropriately. We have cooperated fully with this investigation and will continue to do so," stated McVey.
McVey said he would not comment on personnel or students, citing their privacy rights.

Beverly Civil War reenactment set for Saturday
Confederate soldiers will once again raid Beverly on Saturday and Sunday, just as they did 150 years ago during 1863. The reenactment event is open to the public and will include a host of free activities.
"We will present actual events that happened in Beverly in 1863, and will have many opportunities for the public to participate, in addition to watching the activities," said Darryl DeGripp, executive director of the Beverly Heritage Center.
On Saturday, Union soldiers will be much in evidence, as Beverly was occupied by Federal troops for most of the Civil War. At 2:30 p.m. Saturday, along Walnut Street behind the Beverly Heritage Center, Confederate troops reenacting Gen. John Imboden's spring 1863 raid will attack the town. During the raid, the Union troops will retreat and Confederates will take control of the town.
Saturday will also feature living history of the occupied town before and after the raid, with Civil War camps, sutlers selling period goods and civilian activities. A camp dinner will be available to the public at 5:15 p.m. for $10. The Civil War Ball at 7:30 p.m. with the Rich Mountain String Band will teach 19th century period dances, and the public is invited to participate.
Sunday's reenactment will represent the Gen. William L. "Mudwall" Jackson raid from July 1863, at 1:30 p.m. in the afternoon. Sunday visitors are also invited to the Beverly Presbyterian Church at 10 a.m. for a period church service with 19th century music by Mountain Winds woodwind ensemble. A light lunch will be available for $6 at the church hall following the service and prior to the Sunday reenactment.
Reenactment activities will be taking place in the town of Beverly, and local residents are encouraged to participate.
"We want to alert townspeople that the reenactments on Saturday and Sunday afternoon will be noisy with the sound of black powder gunfire," DeGripp said. Any citizens concerned about noise or impact may contact the Beverly Heritage Center to get details of when and where these activities will take place.
The weekend is sponsored by the Beverly Heritage Center and Rich Mountain Battlefield Foundation and hosted by the West Virginia Reenactors Association. Partial funding is provided by the West Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission. Sponsorship opportunities are available for supporting businesses.
"This will be a unique event, offering a taste of what Beverly would have been like 150 years ago. We hope visitors and local residents will all come out and participate in these unique reenactment activities," said DeGripp.
For more information or meal reservations, call the Beverly Heritage Center at 304-637-7424, email at email@example.com, visit our webpage at www.beverlyheritagecenter.org and on Facebook.

9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Union occupied Beverly, period sutlers and living history

4-18-09 PNC Park
I could only attend batting practice at today's game because I had Dave Matthews Band tickets for later tonight.
Since today's game was to begin at 12:35, I feared that there would be no batting practice. Usually on day games after night games, there is no batting practice. However, when I was walking to the Center field gate, I could see this.
I got to the gates at 9:45 AM, 15 minutes early, and was third in line. There were two non-ballhawks in front of me, so I felt pretty confident about being the first person into batting practice and claiming any Easter eggs.
I was the first one to the early entrance point, but the season ticket scanner wasn't there. A few other security guards came and said we had to wait until the scanner showed up. I showed them I had season tickets and I even flashed my season ticket card. They said no one could enter until the scanner showed up. In the mean time, there were three fans with visitor passes in the bleachers.
Ryan Doumit crushed a homerun that landed in the bleachers. All I could do is stand helplessly and watch one of the visitor fans walk over and pick it up. One missed opportunity. Doumit hit another ball that hit near the bullpen. It bounced off a bleacher and rolled down to the front row. Luckily, the visitors didn't see this one. When the employee who scans the early entrance finally showed up 6 minutes late, I ran in and claimed the Doumit HR ball. It was ball #1.
I asked Nyjer Morgan for a baseball, but he ignored me.
Game: 6 Balls (3 hit, 3 device)
Season: 26 Balls (12 hit, 9 thrown, 5 device)

DMB is where it's at baby! I'm hoping to accomplish three balls in five minutes with the glove trick myself this upcoming week. We'll see what happens, and hopefully my stats can climb. Congrats on your best outing this season so far. Just eight more to go 'til 200 lifetime!
– Donnie
Nice work on the double-duty, Erik. Ballhawking and a concert-way to go!
What a day. Double your pleasure. After the game did the DMB bus stop on a bridge over a river and empty the bathroom waste into the water? Ha ha. Just kidding! Nice snags though. I wish I could use the glove trick in SD. We get the Pirates here this coming weekend. Are you coming out?
Good luck using your glove trick. You could do it if you're real bold and try and get it before a player can walk over to it. I usually wait though to see if its unnoticed.
It was a really busy day.
I wish I could come out there to see the Pirates play the Padres. Unfortunately, I don't have the funds available for a big trip like that right now.

Nest watching time returns
February 27, 2013 —
With mating season underway for Pennsylvania's peregrine falcon population, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has launched its popular annual webcast.
This year's events will be captured by new high-definition cameras that will stream the footage live on the Internet. The new cameras are expected to create crisper, more detailed images than in the past.
As in the past, viewers around the world will have a front-row seat at their computers as they observe the activities of the pair of peregrines who nest on a ledge of the Rachel Carson State Office Building in Harrisburg, PA.
According to the DEP, the resident male who has been at the ledge since 2005 has been challenged in recent weeks by another male peregrine. Such territorial battles can be intense. So far, the resident male has managed to defend the ledge and has begun mating with the resident female, who arrived in 2012.
Falcons have been nesting at the building for 13 years, producing 48 eggs and 40 hatchlings. Of these, 13 males and 16 females have survived. Only one of last year's clutch of four eggs hatched. According to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, there are now 32 pairs of peregrine falcons nesting at various locations across the state.
Viewers can expect the first egg of the 2013 breeding season to be laid the first week in March. The eggs should begin to hatch around mid-May and the young falcons, or eyases, should start to take their first flights in mid-June.
For more information, to sign up to receive the Falcon Wire e-newsletter, or to watch the falcons live, visit www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/falcon.
Nest watchers can also keep tabs on the upcoming activities of the great blue heron nest in Sapsucker Woods via the Cornell Lab of Ornithology at cams.allaboutbirds.org/channel/8/Great_Blue_Herons/?pid=2433. Recent visitors to that nest have been a great horned owl and a red-tailed hawk.

15 NCAA Div. III individual championships
ST. LOUIS, MO.—Central College track and field athlete Eric Larson (sophomore, Waverly, Waverly-Shell Rock HS) took runner-up honors in the Washington University (Mo.) decathlon Saturday, scoring 6,342 points.
Larson finished just 255 points behind first-place Dan Simon of NCAA Division I Univ. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Larson's mark headlines the Division III chart and is 290 points shy of his personal best (6,632) from his 2012 all-American finish. He recorded marks of 15.31 in the 110 hurdles, 96-3 in the discus, 11-6.5 in the pole vault, 125-9 in the javelin and 4:53. 08 in the 1,500 meters.
Freshman teammate Jaemin Powell (Wellman, Mid-Prairie HS) placed seventh with 5,469 points with sophomore Conner Freeman (Urbandale) eighth at 5,245 points.
"This meet was really a chance to get out and compete without a lot of outdoor training and it was good start for us," associate head coach Jim Fuller said. "I thought Eric ran a good 400 (51.88) yesterday, Conner did well in the high jump (6-3.5) and Jaemin improved in the pole vault (10-2.75) and javelin (140)."
Meanwhile, senior Morgan Sharp (Grinnell) finished fifth in the heptathlon with 3,998 points. The mark ranks 11th in the nation. Sophomore Kaitlyn Gillet (Cedar Falls) took ninth with 3,655 points. Shelby Schaal of Wis.-Milwaukee won the event with 4,900 points.
"Morgan did well in the hurdles (16.64) and high jump (4-11)," Fuller said. "And Kaitlyn showed consistency in her first complete heptathlon."
Fuller was encouraged by all five performances.
"We have a better idea of where we are and I'm confident we'll improve as we really get into the outdoor season," he said.
A full Central squad returns to St. Louis, Mo., for the Washington Select meet April 6.

Comprehensive Description
The "traditional" mussel subfamily Bathymodiolinae includes numerous large (and large-gilled) deep sea species associated with hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, nearly all of them currently placed in the genus Bathymodiolus. These species are closely allied to the subfamily Modiolinae, which includes mussels that are often associated with sunken wood and vertebrate bones, e.g., small mussels in the genera Idas, Adipicola, and Benthomodiolus (decomposition of wood and bones produces sulfide that is used by these mussels with the help of bacterial symbionts similar to those of found in deep sea vent and seep mussels). Recent molecular genetic and other work has indicated that the Bathymodiolinae is polyphyletic and that Bathymodiolus and some other deep sea mussel genera are also not monophyletic as currently delineated. Resolving these phylogenetic relationships is essential to understanding the evolution of the deep sea mussel fauna (see, e.g., Craddock et al. 1995; Distel et al. 2000; Jones et al. 2005).
