Baseball and Iowa Grow Up Together
The Vinton boys played well, but fate was against them from the start, and the first three or four innings demonstrated the result. Taken as a whole this was a very pleasant affair. All parties conducting themselves in a most gentlemanly manner; a true spirit of fairness and courtesy characterizing the entire proceeding.
— Cedar Valley Times, 27 June 1867.
The state of Iowa and the game of baseball grew up together. While pioneers streamed into Iowa during the 1840s, the first baseball rulebook was published in the east.
Baseball became the national game after the Civil War. Soldiers had learned the game in training or prisoner-of-war camps. When they returned to their homes in all parts of the nation, they took the game with them.
Baseball caught on rapidly. A town did not need to be very large to have a baseball team. Only one year after the war, teams had been formed at Mount Pleasant, Des Moines and Council Bluffs. The very next year Des Moines alone had nine teams, including a young people's team called the Shirttail Rangers.
A Community Event
When there was a home game, the shops and businesses in a community closed. The townspeople and fans from nearby farms went to the ball field. They often sat on the ground or in their horsedrawn carriages and wagons and watched the game. Excited onlookers shouted themselves hoarse rooting for the home team.
Local ball players had pride in their team too. At Bellevue the players built their own ball park. When they began, the ground was rough and uneven, studded with tree stumps that had to be dug out. After much work the team members had the field ready for play. They did not stop there, but went on to build a grandstand for the spectators. The Bellevue Butterfingers took pride in their first-class ballpark. The citizens of Bellevue passed many pleasant afternoons there. One year the women of Bellevue formed a team called the Bellevue Bloomers to play a special game against the men. The men's team won, 8 to 5.
A Few Make it to the Big Time
If a player was really good, he might leave the small town team and take a job with a professional ball club. Major professional league teams were located in other states. In 1871 an 18-year-old from Marshalltown joined a professional team in Illinois. Adrian "Cap" Anson earned a place in baseball history as a top batter. But when he later became the manager of the Chicago White Stockings, he worked to keep major league baseball a racially segregated sport. There were no black players in the major leagues until 1945. Other Iowans went on to play professional baseball through the years. Some of them became heroes of the game.
Baseball and its offshoot, softball, remained popular sports in Iowa. When attitudes changed and it became acceptable, women and girls in Iowa played ball too. Many small communities and larger cities supported both genders when it came to sports.
Communities are still very supportive of their local baseball and softball teams. Some larger Iowa cities also support professional minor league teams. The Burlington Bees, Clinton Lumberkings, Cedar Rapids Kernels, Swing of the Quad Cities and the Iowa Cubs are all teams based in Iowa. Baseball is still a popular summer sport—to watch as well as play.

Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., was among more than 200,000 people who gathered at the Lincoln Memorial for the March on Washington 50 years ago to hear the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. deliver his I Have a Dream speech.
Sanders was a 22-year-old college student.
Since then, he said, there has been real progress in breaking down barriers of discrimination and segregation, including the election and re-election of an African-American president.

Please dont hesitate to contact me or ask any questions :)

Is there a way I can just buy a ticket + tailgate? I want to join to squad but am not coming from philly.
That's so sick. Wish I had a job. Womp womp.
How long until these sell out? I need to check with a few buddies to see if we can assemble a group of 4.
Will you guys be selling tix for the tailgate ONLY? Already booked a hotel and have tix for 6/12. We wanna come out for the tgate though!
Already going, my buddy helps run these trips, so sweet
That's a pretty killer deal…
I live in Boston and would love to pay for just ticket + tailgate… would that be possible?
I also live in boston and would just like to pay for a ticket + tailgate! Let us know so we can sit with like minded fans!
A lot more details on ordering just certain parts of the package are available there.
Sometimes I wonder why there are only 34 replies in the gameday threads then I see you are using the site to sell crap.
The gameday threads consistantly have 100+ comments within them. Also, Twitter and Facebook have become popular outlets to voice opinion during the game as well. We do not sell crap. We provide unique opportunitiesto fans looking to enhance their Phillies phandom. I'm sorry you do not agree with our mission.
Is this guy, Andrew, for real??
Take a quick look at what a night's stay at the Boston Park Plaza ($300) and tickets to the game cost on stubhub ($100) and you're already getting a hell of a deal. The booze and bus ride are a bonus. This deal is far from "crap."
We will already be there on our own. Can we pay for the tailgate at the Cask on Saturday?
F yeah this is a fantastic deal! Wish I had the dough to go!!
I am also a Phillie fan living in Boston. In fact, I have two individual seats (same section) for that Saturday game I am attempting to sell (in order to buy two seats together). I would much prefer to sell to a fellow Phillie fan.
On a side note, that's a real sweet deal. That hotel is in a great location.
My email is email@example.com if you are interested.
Forget what Andrew and some others say. Many people appreciate the fact that you are providing a service and opportunity for people to attend games in other stadiums. Keep up the good work. It enhances Phillies Nation.
smoke weed
Anything going on for July 3rd in Pittsburgh?
Come on Philliesnation, where is the new post? How about a position by position comparison of Phillies Mets? Or a look into the probable pitchers? What's Nu?
Someone keeps ghosting my name… I wouldn't call anything "killer."
I'm more in line with the PizzaBagel on this one. I'm kind of upset that we're not seeing more meaningful content.
Im am from Philly and I will be going to the game on Sunday 6/13. Is there going to be any phillies groups there for that game that I can meet up with?
Any possibility of taking the bus and hotel, but not the tickets? I already have tickets, but need transportation and hotel.
Awesome job on the blog, I just happened to find this site with google, this ones going into bookmarks ;D
could i buy just the tailgate
^^ Like Mike is asking, There is a group of us already going, can we buy the tailgate tickets? We are going to be at the Cask anyway, want to pregame with Phillies nation!
Phillies tickets for sale for the weekend series versus the Red Sox are starting to show some softening. The Red Sox have one of the longest streaks alive for sellouts but I think you are starting to see the effects of the economy and a team that does not appear ready to contend this year. Good tip would be to wait until the beginning of the week of the series to get the best deals on good tickets.
We're going up on our own, but bought tickets to the PhillyTailgate.com party at Copperfield's on Brookline, just around the corner from Fenway… They said they have over 200 people going on the trip and let us into the tailgate party… You get the choice of bottles or draft, which is great since some of the people in our group prefer bottles… The link is: http://shop.phillytailgate.com/product_p/bos-phillies-redsox-tailgate.htm.
can i buy just tailgate tickets for boston ???
Any way to just buy tickets? I live in Boston (but from Philly).
already traveling up there with a bunch of friend's for the Saturday game……is there any chance of being able to get in and tailgate with you b4 the game? possibly purchase tix for the tailgate party…..would be awesome to tailgate with the phillies nation before the game. please let me know
I just got the tailgate tickets off the PhilsFever website, does anyone know what time it starts at cask n flagon on Saturday?
I got an extra ticket to Saturdays game. Right Field Grand Stand, I paid $140. Make me an offer. Call 215-817-6882 RJ

Out to pastureJune 09,2014
Im sad. A trusted old friend, my black 2000 Honda, has gone away. She has been replaced by a newer car, one thats supposedly more trustworthy, but yet, that Honda never let me down. Sure, there were a couple times she coughed and died and we sat on the breakdown lane for a moment, but both times she started back up and we went along ...friends joke with each other you know. Here I am, being an old sot about a car but, really, we spend more time with our cars than we do with our friends, and without the mobility they offer us in this day and age we might well not have any friends, to say nothing of jobs, hobbies, or families.
Ive often thought of the trauma folks felt back in olden times when a horse passed away. Recently my cousin, David Morse, a dyed-in-the-wool horse person, shed some light on the subject of that equine topic. David, now in his 80s, was born into the season between horses and tractors. Although his father was not a naysayer to the belching iron beasts that would eventually take over farm pulling, he was practical enough to go slow; horses would remain on his farm to work in tandem with the tractor for another generation. Young David took on the job of horseman, a task and talent that would stay with him for life.
A couple weeks ago David, his wife Kathy, and daughter Valerie came down to pick up a sheep from us. Our sheep pasture is over by a wooded part of our farm. After we caught the critter and loaded her into their pickup, David beckoned toward the woods. Back in the 40s he said, I helped your father and grandfather cut wood over there. He recalled a wet area, which I know all too well, and described getting stuck in it one time with a jag of wood behind the team of horses. Horses labored and then stopped right in the middle. ... Couldnt go another inch he said and then, in a soft, gentle voice, like one uses on a child, he continued, I gave em a few minutes tcatch their breath and then I went and talked to em, yknow, just tgive em a little encouragement.
David said the horses understood and when the three of them were ready, one final surge of power brought three of Gods creatures and a jag of wood up onto dry land. Something else David said that day left me wondering: You probably know that your father wasnt much of horse person. The next day when I asked my older brother, Elliott, for a second opinion, his answer came instantly: Our father hated horses! He went on to tell me a couple Harry Morse horse stories.
When Dad was a boy, his father sent him down to the store in Maple Corner to pick up a few things. Our father rode a gentile mare the mile from Robinson Hill down to the store and when he got there, he was told their syrup can order had come in. Realizing a case of cans was a bit cumbersome for one horse and a boy, but wanting to please his father, young Harry Morse and a stock boy unboxed the cans and hitched them together with a string through the handles. He then told the stock boy: When Im mounted, Ill ride up next to the loading dock and you throw these cans up and over the horse. It seems Father had acquired a gift for Yankee ingenuity at a young age but, unfortunately that day, failed to consider a very important matter the temperament of a horse! Being suddenly saddled by 24 clattering syrup cans turned that gentle mare into a tormented beast and, just like that, the beast took off, cans, groceries and Dad aboard. As the story goes, Dads grandfather, Harry Morse the first, sat on his porch just up the road and later recalled the story. All of a sudden there was all that cmmotion and then the huss nthat boy, my namesake, went by hell-bent-fer-election ... Didnt think Id see either one athem ever agin!
Our mother often told the story of seeing our father being dragged the length of a field one time by a runaway horse. Dad had been cultivating when suddenly the cultivator rode up on a ledge outcropping, spooking the horse. When the horse took off, the cultivator tipped over and Dad, legs tangled in the contraption, was dragged like a rag doll until the horse reached a stone wall and finally settled down. Mother said when she finally reached him, he looked like a pummeled prizefighter. Dad never admitted to me his horse aversion but I do recall his love of running the roads in motor vehicles. Whether cars, trucks, or even tractors, give Harry Morse an open road and an errand to run and he was happy. Even though I totally escaped the season of horses, I know I would have been a non-horse person, as well. And Im a chip-off-the-old-block with wanderlust for the open road. I look forward to many pleasant miles in my new car but will still mourn for thold Honda ... gone away out to that car pasture forever.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

c Magnet Schools Assistance program
Walking into Normal Park, you may believe you've entered a children's museum. In the main lobby, a rainforest archway, artist murals, and a 300-gallon aquarium provide a colorful, multisensory introduction to this K-5 school's museum theme. Multimedia projects—revealing students' knowledge on such topics as the solar system and weather—line the hallways. Artwork and essays are on display in glass showcases. All are tangible reflections of the school's mission to cultivate students' lifelong passion for learning through a rigorous museum-based curriculum that inspires days of exploration for years of discovery.
In 2001, this historic neighborhood school, just north of downtown Chattanooga, opened as a new magnet hoping to turn around student achievement and reverse declining enrollment. Normal Park has lived up to its promise. Each year since its founding, student scores on the state test have increased, now reflecting almost universal proficiency as well as steady gains in closing the achievement gap, particularly for economically disadvantaged students. Today, the school is enrolled at full capacity of over 300 students, 120 more than in its pre-magnet days, with another 300 on the waiting list.
Founding and Early Challenges
In its first year, families were skeptical that adding "Museum Magnet" to the school's name would change outcomes for its students. "This school was on the state list to be shut down," recalls founding principal Jill Levine, "and this neighborhood had totally abandoned the school." Then funding from the federal Magnet Schools Assistance program (MSAP) became available to convert low-performing Normal Park into one of four magnet schools designed to attract white, suburban parents who commuted into the downtown area.
Levine was paired with magnet coordinator, Joyce Tatum, and the two new leaders had a six-month planning period to visit different museum-themed schools across the country and research best practices. Tatum helped forge partnerships with Chattanooga's cultural institutions and develop a curriculum framework. Meanwhile, Levine's biggest challenges included inheriting a staff culture of low expectations and defeatist attitudes; chronic student misbehavior; and a run-down, 100-year-old facility.
Levine worked hard to recruit educators who were passionate about the school's mission, encouraging unsupportive teachers to move on. She also implemented a zero-tolerance policy for student misbehavior and did not back down when local media criticized her for issuing dozens of suspensions for student fighting. Establishing a safe and orderly environment paralleled the work of creating physical conditions conducive to learning. Levine maximized available resources to restore the decrepit building: Community volunteers painted every classroom; staff wrote grants to obtain funds to refinish the floors; district facility and magnet funds paid for new lighting; and murals were created by local artists for the school's walls and an exhibit room. "All along," says Levine, "I wanted Normal Park to be the school my children go to, a school that everybody wants to go to." Within the year, she was sending out press releases and inviting the public to see all the changes taking place at Normal Park.
Implementing a Successful Program
Normal Park's academic program is built around four cross-curricular modules that incorporate weekly class expeditions to partner museums. Each quarterly module focuses on a schoolwide theme culminating in an Exhibit Night. Teachers use a backwards-planning method and work to engage students in a system of inquiry aimed at fostering intellectual curiosity and real-life discovery. One local museum director says that whenever his staff notice a particularly inquisitive, thoughtful student, "If we ask what school they go to, it's always Normal Park."
Grade-level teams work with museum staff to plan hands-on learning experiences. During the "A Day in the Life" module, for example, students study the city of Chattanooga to answer, "What makes people choose a place to live?" They learn about services, laws, and civic responsibilities within communities. Visits to the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, the Regional History, and the African American Museums bring to life the history of transportation and social aspects of community life. On Exhibit Night, students guide visitors through their cardboard cityscape of the town, explaining the importance of buildings and services in their created community.
"Our kids do well on the tests because they're engaged in learning," Levine says. Responsibility for this engagement rests squarely on the shoulders of teachers. "There are some children who won't necessarily get the support at home that they need to be successful," Levine reminds her staff, "but we can't just sit around and complain about that. It's our job to provide safety nets for them." Staff require that all student exhibits be completed at school, thus ensuring that access to expensive materials, computer time, and parent support are not factors limiting a child's ability to produce high-quality projects. "No one gives up on the hardest-to-reach child," one parent observes. "Everyone is valued, and the children and families know that."
Differentiated instruction meets the needs of each student. Teachers use guided reading methods to teach literacy, engaging small groups of students in tailored fluency and comprehension activities. A system of leveled texts geared to students' reading abilities and individualized lessons target specific needs so that students advance to more difficult texts at their own pace. Struggling readers receive early intervention to accelerate growth. Based on the success of guided reading, teachers employ similarly differentiated instruction for mathematics and spelling to help them close the achievement gap.
Professional development at Normal Park parallels the school's approach to teaching: It is focused, supported, and differentiated. The administration supports teachers with material resources as well as expert coaching, so that new ideas can be realized in the classroom. Teachers attend a summer institute in June, collaborate with coaches each quarter, and work in small teams with a reading consultant who facilitates model lessons and peer observations. "In other schools," one teacher notes, "once the bell rings,teachers close their doors and that's it. Here, we talk to each other; we work together."
Establishing Systems for Sustainability
Since the school's turnaround, students have scored well above district averages, and the district has given Normal Park autonomy to innovate as long as test scores remain high. To continue to improve teaching and learning, staff members look at data from various assessments, including standardized test scores and reading-level scores. Each grade level has end-of-year targets for students' reading performance, for example, and weekly reports to the principal keep the goals at the forefront. During Exhibit Nights, when students show their projects in museum-like displays that include artifacts, labels, and student guided tours, teachers check for evidence of what they have learned. Feedback from the Exhibit Nights is useful for refining the curriculum each year. Tatum says that as soon as she comes home from an event, she has several e-mails from staff suggesting, "If we would just do this … it would be better."
From its beginning, Normal Park has been both a model and partner in a healthy network of schools within the county striving for continuous improvement. The district facilitates cross-school activities to discuss and exchange best practices. While Normal Park maintains its unique theme and approach to learning, some of its most promising strategies for raising student achievement are used at every other elementary school in the district.
To meet a financial crisis in 2003, one innovative response was to create the Normal Park Education Fund, a board of parents and community leaders that raises funds for the school. Currently, the Education Fund pays for a science lab, dance and reading consultant positions, and for quarterly family literacy nights in support of established school needs. As one teacher explains, "The Ed Fund listens to what our needs are, then they go out and raise the necessary funds to make those things happen."
In addition to its museum partnerships, the school has forged an alliance with professional development programs at the University of Tennessee. Every year Normal Park hosts a professor and graduate students from the university's Teacher Preparation Academy. These teachers-in-training work side-by-side with school staff and support individualized instruction, in addition to training and recruiting future teachers for the district. Similar to the school's relationships with the city's museums, these partnerships provide staff with much-needed resources-grants, materials, professional development-to support teaching and learning activities.
Sustaining Success at Normal Park Museum Magnet School: Milestones
Normal Park's conversion into a museum magnet was part of a turnaround process for an urban school once plagued by declining enrollment and low test scores. By attracting strong staff, cultivating museum and business partners, and engaging the community at large, Normal Park has proven to be a model for how magnet schools can play a significant role in districtwide school reform.

She's Got Legs1 of 16
By Zoe Schaeffer
As if scoring George Clooney weren't enough, Stacy Keibler's long, toned legs inspire envy on their own. See how she works her best asset—not counting Clooney, of course—in short skirts, slit dresses and more skin-baring styles.
Short Order2 of 16
Ankle boots and short anything is the kind of look only ladies with legs for miles can pull off.
Tan Lines3 of 16
Having a perfect tan enhances just about everything. Keibler accentuates her golden gams with a tight aqua mini and gray pumps.
Go With the Flow4 of 16
Although she tends to opt for body-conscious looks, Keibler is no stranger to flowy styles either. Her sculpted legs give a romantic peach frock and white strappy sandals a sportier feel.
Black Tie5 of 16
Keibler effortlessly demonstrates how you can still show off your stems while covering them up. At a Vanity Fair bash, she opts for a fitted tux-inspired suit that's both sleek and sexy.
Strapped In6 of 16
Strappy red stilettos provide the finishing touch on Keibler's sexy black ensemble.
Long Story7 of 16
A maxi-length dress with a sultry slit provides a peek at Keibler's pins.
Split Picture8 of 16
Working the side slit again, Clooney's leading lady struts her stuff in a halter-style dress that accentuates her arms as well as her legs.
Gold Coast9 of 16
A gilded mini dress and nude heels lengthen the blonde's already endless legs.
Back-Up Plan10 of 16
An open back with shimmery black straps brings the attention to Keibler's rear view.
Black Out11 of 16
Skintight black pants and tall dark boots give the illusion of length—even for those who aren't as fortunate as the former pro cheerleader.
Jump In12 of 16
A super-short jumpsuit emphasizes Keibler's legs while nude heels (once again) accentuate their length.
Neon Punch13 of 16
While at a fitness retreat, the onetime pro wrestler opts for neon pink short shorts that will surely help her kick some butt in the ring—probably by distracting her opponent.
Boot Camp14 of 16
Nothing says sexy quite like over-the-knee boots. A conservative black dress prevents the look from going too racy.
Pink Lady15 of 16
A blousy fit up top complements Keibler's skintight mini below.
Cut It Out16 of 16
Pre-Clooney, the dancing star took a more revealing route in a mini dress that also had a slit for a double dose of leggy-ness.

Recent News
"From the Pit Box": Michigan International Speedway
August 14, 2013
"From the Pit Box"
Shane Wilson – No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet Sliverado
Michigan International Speedway
In 2013, Shane Wilson was reunited with driver Brendan Gaughan following a 10-year split, assuming the role of crew chief for the No. 62 Richard Childress Racing entry in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The RCR crew chief joined the company in December 2005 when he was paired with Bakersfield, Calif., native Kevin Harvick to head the No. 21 NASCAR Nationwide Series entry. Since joining the RCR family, Wilson has worked with several of the organization's drivers in the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series.
Thus far this season, Wilson has led Gaughan and the No. 62 team to six top-five and seven top-10 finishes in 11 races.
Q: How do you set up the truck for Michigan International Speedway?
A: "The modern day Michigan (International Speedway) is really smooth, and with the tires Goodyear brings, we'll be running flat out all weekend. We'll start at a certain point and try to trim out the truck to be sure that we have speed. For the Truck Series, Michigan is almost like a true superspeedway race where they'll be out there running flat out in a draft."
Q: How does the track change during the race?
A: "We're not quite at the limitation of the tire at Michigan (International Speedway), so our truck will change as the fuel burns off, it'll become tighter and tighter. During practice, we'll be sure to try and almost run the truck out of fuel to make sure the handling and speed will be ok during the race when that happens."
Q: What are the keys to success at Michigan International Speedway?
A: "Figuring out fuel mileage and making sure you have speed. Last year the race wasn't won by the fastest truck, it was won by the truck that was able to make it to the end on fuel. A lot of times Michigan is a fuel mileage race, but you still have to try and be the fastest truck out there."
Q: What is your favorite race memory of Michigan International Speedway?
A: "My favorite memory was winning the race in 2003, by a pretty good margin, with Brendan (Gaughan). It was a pretty great feeling winning that race, especially in the dominate fashion like we did, since the year before we got lapped."

Click Your Heels Three Times…
We're back home again, and it's looking good! Cole Hamels put on another superb display and this time, the manager decided to let him have the win. Manual pulled him in the 8th just before things got too, too far out of control. Whew! It looked like it might be a nail biter for a little while, but they wiggled out of it. I assume Greg Maddux will get his well deserved 350th win very soon. I for one am just glad it did not come against the Phillies…sorry, Greg. Luv ya anyway.
It is also looking like the day off on Monday may have done Howard some good. He only had one hit last night, but probably should have had two. He was robbed by a great play in centerfield that would have been extra bases for sure (yes, even at his slow pace). So, there may be a light at the end of his very dark tunnel here soon…
All-Star voting has begun! I think we have 3 shoe-in's…Chase Utley, Cole Hamels, and for the first time, Pat Burrell…so let's get voting people!!!! But I will tell you who else is going to get my vote, and this may seem like an odd choice…Jayson Werth. Yes, I am going to write him in. This guy has been hitting in clutch situations for the Phillies all month AND did it the last half of 2007 as well. He's batting .289 with 5 homers, 13 RBI's and 2 stolen bases in 22 games. Geoff Jenkins, who was supposed to be our starter or platoon player with Werth, and who was so highly touted coming into Philly as our "Rowand replacement," is only batting .241 with 1 home run, 4 RBI's, and 1 stolen base in 25 games. Jenkins has been a disappointment, but Werth is picking up the slack. And now that Victorino is back, I think Charlie should put Victorino back in center and Werth in right, or the other way around. And if someone slips into a funk, you put Jenkins back into the mix. Let them earn the playing time. But right now, Jayson has earned it, so leave him in there! And, if you agree, write him in on your All-Star ballot! :o)
Besides his other obvious qualifications, his hair is always perfect. The man never has hat head! How does he do that?
1 Comment
The outfield situation is a tough one. Werth has earned the right to start giving the Phillies four capable starting outfielders. Charlie will probably go with the hot hand although Jenkins needs regular at bats if he is going to be successful.
Sadly I think all of this is playing into an outfield next season of Werth, Victorino, and Jenkins with Taguchi as the platoon and Pat Burrell ending up elsewhere. I think this would be a mistake but fear this is how the team will go.

My wife breastfeeds, but she will soon return back to work. Our daughter is about a month old now, and she seems to be feeding off both sides very well, so well that the milk sometimes runs down her face because there is so much.
However, as soon as she puts the pump to herself she gets nothing. We have even gone so far as to have the baby latch on, and quickly replace her with the pump! That seems to work for about 10-15 seconds, then she won't produce anymore until the baby latches back on.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Lori Nita '02 Novak sees the principles she studied in the Leadership, Ethics and Values program applied in her line of work on a daily basis. As assistant vice president for foreign exchange at Newedge USA in Chicago, she oversees sales transactions for the firm, which offers brokerage services to institutional investors and fund managers.
With Ponzi schemes and other unethical behavior contributing to the worldwide financial crisis, Novak understands the value of conducting business with integrity.
The LEV program enhanced her ability to evaluate others as well as improve her own decision-making skills, she says. "We have the potential to deal with people who are deceptive but very good at pretending they aren't," she says. "I can evaluate whether people have bad intentions, or if they're trading in a way that's not acceptable in the marketplace."
Novak majored in psychology and minored in professional conflict resolution. Participating in the LEV program helped prepare her for her responsibilities as a manager, she says. "You have to have quick decision-making skills, but at the same time your decisions must be well thought-out because in this business, mistakes cost a lot of money."
Dean Frieders '01 took several courses in LEV while majoring in political science and participating in the American Mock Trial Association and Model UN. "While many North Central programs improve your critical-thinking skills, the LEV program expands the scope of your concerns, and helps you to consider all aspects of a decision, including the ethical implications," Frieders says.
Frieders is a partner with the legal firm Mickey, Wilson, Weiler, Renzi & Andersson, P.C., based in Aurora, IL. He concentrates on local government, municipal law and other issues. His LEV studies helped shape his manner of doing business, Frieders says. "LEV really helps participants evaluate decisions from a bigger-picture perspective," he adds.
As director of constituent services for U.S. Senator Mike Johanns (R-Nebraska), TJ Birkel '04 sees how ethics and values play out in government and politics. A history and political science major, he was involved in student government. He remembers the LEV program as being a beneficial way of teaching young adults about responsible conduct and behavior. "When you're away from your parents for the first time, you're making decisions you previously haven't had to make," he says.
Birkel's responsibilities include providing services to and handling correspondence with Johanns' Nebraska constituents. "You encounter situations where you're put to the test. Having had that background at North Central where I learned about decision-making was incredibly helpful."
"LEV really helps participants evaluate decisions from a bigger-picture perspective, so that informed and sustainable choices may be made." - TJ Birkel '04

So to check her weight I weighed a week later and she lost weight 13lbs 11 oz leaving her to gain only 4 oz in a month.
She weighed 6lbs 2oz at birth and gained great weight all the way until her 4 month. We have been struggling.
I started taking Fenugreek and eatin oatmeal and pumping. I feel my supply is going up.
Last week at last weigh in I started to supplement with my stored BM. I gave her 3 bottles of 3 oz a day and then BF.
So I weighed her today and she 13lbs 14.5 oz so she did gain weight a little.
I am still very concerned about her. What can I do ? Should I continue to supplement with BM? Or should I get formula?
She is 1 week shy of being 6 months now. No solids yet. I want to keep BF . I wanted to BF until she no longer needed me.
Please help me!
Thank You,

The battle between various wireless HD video transfer standards has not started yet, but analysts from In-Stat market research firm believe that there already is a winner: Wi-Fi 802.11n standard. Unlike WHDI, Wireless HD and UWB, the 802.11n is here and can be implemented without risks that it will never take off.
"802.11n is the next generation of the immensely popular Wi-Fi family. It promises data rates above 100Mbps and is backwards compatible. The installed base of Wi-Fi is immense, and effectively includes all mobile PCs, many mobile phones and a wide variety of CE devices," said Brian O'Rourke, an In-Stat analyst.
According to the research firm, 802.11n Wi-Fi technology will dominate the wireless HD video market, at least for the next several years. Three other technologies are competing in this space – Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI), WirelessHD (WiHD), and Ultrawideband (UWB) – have not been implemented into any significant amount of devices and will not become mainstream until the "standard war" is resolved.
In-Stat believes that UWB will not be a major factor in the consumer electronics market as many chip companies are leaving the market in late 2008 and 2009. Meanwhile, WHDI and WirelessHD are being promoted by various consumer electronics manufactures via special interest groups, but they are new, expensive, and power-hungry, which is generally not a recipe for quick market success.
In fact, the market for wireless HDTVs is not projected to become large, only 24 million digital TVs will ship with some type of wireless HD video transfer technology in 2013. The research firm believes that WHDI and WirelessHD will see a slow start, with fewer than eight million devices with those technologies shipped in 2013.
Nevertheless, Wi-Fi 802.11n also has several drawbacks that may become significant roadblocks for the technology on the market of consumer electronics.
"The primary drawback to 802.11n is expense, since it requires codec technology on both ends to transmit HD video. Neither of its primary competitors, WHDI and WirelessHD, requires codecs," said Mr. O'Rourke.

I dont want to have to toss this, I know most babies will drink past the taste/smell but apparently mine wont! So since I lost 900oz when my freezer broke, and now this, I really dont want to have to toss 1000oz!

Paula West
Paula West returns to SFJAZZ with an exclusive tribute to vocalist June Christy's enchanting 1955 recording Something Cool, featuring fresh arrangements by pianist Adam Shulman. A benchmark of the 1950's "cool" jazz sound, Something Cool was Christy's debut recording and became a smash hit, reaching the top 20 on the American album charts. West had always wanted to pay tribute to this most influential recording, so she jumped at the chance to pay tribute in for this Hotplate-style show. Among the most in-demand singers on the international scene, Paula West criss-crosses the globe for concerts and cabaret residencies in San Francisco, Istanbul, Moscow, and New York, where her nights at the Algonquin Hotel's famed Oak Room have earned her three straight New York magazine Nightlife awards as "Outstanding Female Jazz Vocalist." The New York Times has been particularly vocal in their praise for West, singling out her "thickly textured voice [that] has ripened into a driving expressive force" and an "ever-deepening feel for the blues." This unforgettable evening pairs a beloved Bay Area jazz treasure with one of the most enduring albums of the "cool" jazz era, and is a must-see event.

Strickland is also being charged with three felonies: kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault and robbery. Strickland was arrested and brought to the San Patricio County Jail on June 21, where he remains in custody without bond.
The heinous crimes, that were committed two years ago, were against both Mollie Olgin and Mary Kristene Chapa. Chapa, who had been found by visitors of the park, amazingly survived, as both she and Olgin were sexually assaulted and shot in the back of their heads. Chapa was in critical condition when found in the park.
Some of the evidence used in the case against Strickland included information gathered from collaborating with Utah police. In January, Portland Police officers were notified that Strickland had been charged with stealing firearms from former Utah roommate, Christopher Melchor, in 2013. He was then arrested in Moab, Utah, according to the affidavits.
Evidence, that was pertinent to the Portland Police Department's Investigation, was found when the Utah police searched Strickland's vehicle and found firearms, handcuffs, a knife, a bag containing a condom, lubricant, bolt cutters, and an Under Armour glove, all items said to have been used during the night of the assault.
In a statement given to Portland police, Chapa said she remembered the white Under Armour logo on her assailant's gloves worn during the time of the attack.
Both Aaron Veuleman, who is heading the investigation for the Portland Police Department, and District Attorney Michael Welborn were unavailable for comment, as of press time.
Strickland will be arraigned in approximately two weeks, according to the District Attorney's office.

If Brad Lidge Were an Air Conditioner…
…he would look a lot like this:
And his control knob would be something like this:
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Lidge has lost his, er… charm.
Phillies fans the world over are begging for a Gray Davis like recall.
Might the Governator have a hard slider?
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Man, you rag Lidge like you rag the Cubs…imagine if Lidge were a Cub…
Jonestein — If that were the case, well, the fun would never end… no worries. Kevin Gregg does a great Brad Lidge impression.
Shocking!!!! MLB won't let you link to a site with "adult"content??😉
No, NO, not even close, Kerry Wood does the best Brad Lidge impression!
Julia — Well, it's not really adult content, just uses a four letter word in its URL. It's a funny site though. Believe me.
Ted — He's not bad, but see, the Cubs were supposed to be a contender, so Gregg gets the upper hand in this contest.
Now I am really surprised… I thought that the control would have the anti-blow option.. you know SUCK!!… very funny Jeff…you even managed to get an AC unit on a red wall…:-)
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Peter — Yeah, I tried. Took a lot of blood, sweat and tears on my part too. Mostly tears🙂
Matt — Sometimes the less you say the more you say. Touche. And that rhymes!
Well, Kevin Gregg blew another one last night, and looks like he has lost the closer role. Haha, I bet Cubs fans are happy.🙂
Ted — Yes he did. I was cheesing from ear to ear.
Thanks for stopping by the blog.🙂 Maybe the Cubs will win a few games in the later innnings, and save a few… AS you say, Jesus hates the Cubs
Jeff, I am so excited that I get to go to the Indians game today. Hopefully they win for me. I am leaving about right now.
Not every team can have a closer like Mo. (Just had to throw him into the conversation. Can't help myself. It's like I have Yankee Tourette's.)
Ted — Have fun!
Virginia — Thanks! I'll take it.
Jane — You're right. I find solace in the fact that Mo ain't gettin' any younger😉 Then what?
TC — It does. It makes a WHOLE lot of sense.
Wow, I liked that beat down to be honest. It totally makes sense!! – http://tribechick.mlblogs.com/ -TC
Hahahahahaha. I think I sat here giggling for at least 3 minutes.
Lisa — 3 well spent minutes I presume….
Ugh, I didn't think anyone cared that Lidge has been doing so badly. Our closer Broxton is not doing well and everyone says that no one is down on Lidge so leave Brox alone.
Cat — Well, Phillies fans will tell ya, they're down on Lidge, meaning, they ain't too happy.
Since Lidge has lost his er…………edge, maybe a team can steal Billy Wagner away from the NY Mets.
Then they can turn around and send him to the Phillies in the Spring or off season and really piss off the division.
Funny how that trio from Houston years ago of Wagner, Lidge and Qualls has suddenly fallen in harder times.
Maybe the hype finally wore off and their abilities are out there for everyone to see again.
Rays Renegade
Always, Jeff. Always. Haha.
– Lisa
RR — I find it hard to believe the Mets and Phils would work something out since they hate each other, but hey, why not trade crap for crap? LOL.
Lisa — Thought so😛

May 24, 2010: For just over a decade, astronomers have known that three Jupiter-type planets orbit the yellow-white star Upsilon Andromedae. But to their surprise it's now been discovered that not all planets orbit this star in the same plane, as the major planets in our solar system orbit the Sun. The orbits of two of the planets are inclined by 30 degrees with respect to each other. Such a strange orientation has never before been seen in any other planetary system. This surprising finding will impact theories of how planetary systems form and evolve, say researchers. It suggests that some violent events can happen to disrupt planets' orbits after a planetary system forms. The discovery was made by joint observations with the Hubble Space Telescope, the giant Hobby-Eberly Telescope, and other ground-based telescopes.
These findings were presented in a press conference today at the 216th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Miami.See the rest:
