Colin Curtis pulls off his best Mazeroski impression
In a much more meaningless game, the Yankees defeated the Pirates 6-3. It was however game one of the 2010 Spring Training season.
Sitting in my Economics class I was antsy. I couldn't listen to the lecture about unemployment, I just wanted to watch my Bucs. As soon as we got out I rushed to my buddy's girlfriend's apartment where MLB Network would be on the HD TV. I do not get it at my apartment so I really thank Alyssa for allowing me to crash at her place for a few hours and enjoy a real live baseball game.
The game started out nicely as Andrew McCutchen led off the contest ripping a single through the infield.
After that it was rather uneventful.
The Pirates only totaled three hits in the contest.
Now this wasn't a game against Javier Vazquez, CC Sabathia or AJ Burnett. Rather it was Chad Gaudin, Sergio Mitre and Alfredo Acceves. Now those are guys with major league time, but I would hope some of our young Bucs could sneak some hits in.
The Pirates used a pitcher an inning for nine frames. It was a unique move that made the YES network announcers ponder using that tactic in a regular season game. The unanimous decision, it couldn't work.
The announcers brought up a good point also. It has to deal with the numbers of baseball.
The picture on the right is McCutchen from a 2008 Spring Training game. Notice the astronomical number. 76? Andrew McCutch aint no 76! But players like him, back in 2008, are just marginal prospects with a long shot of making the MLB roster. Being handed a number that high may be a downgrade, but in his case I think it was just a motive to work harder. The TV announcers said anyone wearing over 60 in ST will not make the big leagues that year. No Wayne Gretzkys (99) here is how they put it. It'll be an interesting stat to look back on come April.
Anyway, back to the game. The nine Pirate pitchers did not do a bad job containing the Yanks. Steven Jackson and Virgil Vazquez were the only ones giving up multiple hits and runs. I was never a big fan of this tandem and found more reason to not support them today.
The game was toed 3-3 in the bottom of the ninth until powerhouse Colin Curtis stepped to the plate.
Curtis ripped the pitch to right field over the head of Jose Tabata and into the stands. A 3-run bomb by the former 4th round pick in the 2006 draft. Curtis was the hero for the day much like Bill Mazeroski was back in October of 1960. Maz's walk off home run to beat the Yankees is still fondly remembered by baseball fans around the world today, it is doubtful Curtis's homer will even be though of at the end of March. However, his wikipedia page already remembers the event.
"He hit a 3 run walk off homerun in the Yankees first 2010 spring training game against the Pirates."
Maybe it will be forever etched in Yankeess lore. I doubt it.
The Braves are up next!

HAHAHA, I checked out Curtis' Wikipedia page too! I had no idea who he was, so I figured I'd better check before blogging about him tonight. I thought the pitching on both sides was good.
an unemployment lecture vs. a Buccs game. That borders on water torture. I just can't wait for the Buccs to come to town so I can sport my new Clemente jersey.
Big ups to Alyssa!!
That's how I always do it, if you can't watch the game at your own house, go to a buddy's girlfriend's apartment.
That's too bad that the Bucco's couldn't pull off a win.
And that's not a bad idea for a pitcher an inning. (That could be the Pirates strategy.) It wouldn't be that bad of a strategy either. Hitters won't be able to adjust as well betweeen at bats.
But hey I'm not the coach and that's why I'm a fan.
Maybe I'll put in a word or two for the Indians🙂
I really hope the Pirates finish over .500 this year, just to give the fans a break. I am no fan but I wish em luck.
So…you bought a Giants hat, eh?😉
I understand him being upset, Ed Hardy but to bash the Juicy Couture team that launced him career is not cool!

I went to a very competitive high school which was way more challenging than QU. My general education classes in college were easier than a lot of my high school classes. Even the upper-level classes and honors classes I have taken at QU have had an average work load and have been pretty easy.
To find more tips for prospective students, what to do for fun and whether this school is great for a particular type of student read the 15 reviews for Quincy University

QU is a great school in a small community! It has the best atmosphere and they really take care of their students. Even though it's such a small school, you get the full college experience.Read More
Quincy University is small. Quincy's classroom sizes are small and allows learning. Teachers and staff are great!Read More
Quincy is an academic friendly University. It doesn't take long to feel welcomed and at home at QU or the surrounding community.Read More

Quincy University is a campus near the Mississippi river and is gorgeous. The staff are all very friendly and willing to help many people when ever they need to or are needed. Like the staff the students are all very outgoing and willing to meet new people, after being accepted for the fall semester I am proud to say i'm a Quincy Hawk.Read More

Dentinogenesis Imperfecta Type III
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Dentinogenesis Imperfecta Type III is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Dentinogenesis imperfecta type III (DGI-III) is one of five distinct, hereditary disorders of dentin development affecting the teeth. Dentin is the hard, bone-like material that makes up most of a tooth and lies under the enamel serving to protect the soft, pulp tissue. These heritable dentin disorders may affect only the teeth or may be associated with the condition known as osteogenesis imperfecta. Whether this association is present is a major criterion in the classification of dentinogenesis imperfecta into three types.
The teeth of people who have inherited one of the DGIs are usually pale-colored and lustrous (opalescent). They are awkwardly formed and situated in the gums; they wear away readily and break easily.
Patients with DGI type I also are affected by osteogenesis imperfecta, and the whites of their eyes (sclera) are blue in color. Patients with DGI type II are NOT affected by osteogenesis imperfecta, but show the other clinical signs. Patients with DGI type III appear to be limited, in large measure, to a population in the region around Brandywine in southern Maryland.

1981 NCAA Div. III champions
PELLA—The NCAA announced Central College's A.N. Kuyper Athletics Complex will play host to the 2014 Division III Men's & Women's Cross Country Central Region Championships Nov. 15.
The 6,000-meter women's race and 8,000-meter men's race will be staged at the college's challenging on-campus course.
Current Dutch athletes were not running the last time the regional meet ventured to Pella, as Central last played host when Ronald Reagan was president of the United States and Survivor'sEye of the Tigerwas a Billboard top song. It was Nov. 13, 1982 and the meet was staged at the Pella Golf and Country Club.
"It's an exciting thing to host the top schools from our region," coach Joe Dunham said. "It's exciting to host a large-scale event. It's great for Central College and will make us more visible on a national level. There are two ways to earn greater recognition: one is to compete well at national events and the other is to host national events. I'm excited we were selected."
Central holds an impressive track record on its home course. Most recently, the Dutch hosted the 2013 Iowa Conference championships with the men finishing 1-2-3 individually en route to the team title.
The Central Region spans the states of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
The region is also home to the 2013 men's national champion—St. Olaf (Minn.)—as well as the Dutch, who finished sixth. Central returns four of its five point scorers from the NCAA regional and national meets, headlined by two-time all-American Eli Horton (junior, Altoona, Southeast Polk HS). Horton placed fourth at the 2013 national meet after taking home the regional individual title.
"Familiarity (on our course) will be an advantage, but it is not a significant advantage," said Dunham. "Cross country is one of those sports where the runners who train hard will rise to the top regardless of the course. But it's a tough region, so we will take the slight advantage.
"It will be an exciting day. I can't wait."
The other cross country regional host sites are Williamstown, Mass. (Williams), Newville, Pa. (Dickinson), Winneconne, Wis. (Wis.-Oshkosh), Mason, Ohio (Wilmington) and Salem, Ore. (Willamette).
Mason, Ohio also serves as the 2014 national championship host site.
The bid process to host an NCAA championship for the 2014-18 seasons began in July, resulting in 1,984 submitted applications and 523 total sites (294 final, 229 preliminary) awarded in 27 sports spanning all divisions. Sport committee members believed selected host sites would provide the complete championship experience for the respective student-athletes.

Ok, so I guess on to another question LOL:
So Wyatt is 7 weeks old. And I CANT for the life of me get him to burp 90% of the time. Then he gets gassy and fussy. So I am trying to solve this problem. I have tried:
*Holding him on my lap, hand on his chin, burping
*Over the shoulder burping
*Having him do like sit ups so to say (as recommended from the pedi) to help move the air around.....then trying both ways of burping
*Laying him on his belly on my lap patting his back.
So ok.............NOTHING works for this kid!
Anyone else have any other advice on how I can get him to burp better? I will try for 5 minutes or more and still nothing. But I am hoping to get him to burp and eleviate his discomfort and fussiness. So I am up to hearing it all!

Classic Travelling was established in 2003 and offers motoring holidays and driving tours for classic, vintage and sports cars of all ages. With Classic Travelling's continual presence on the best touring roads, we are second to none for advice about exploring the world by road, and off the beaten track.
Classic Travelling takes away the hassle and guesswork from a touring or driving holiday, leaving you the time to enjoy yourselves and your car. Your free time is precious and so you want to know that you will be driving the best roads in the area, staying at charming hotels, and that your car will have suitable parking each night. You want to know what there is to do, see and visit on each day of your driving holiday or road trip, without having to do hours of research, or missing anything of interest.
Our knowledge and experience means we have a in-depth and unique knowledge of where to drive, depending upon your budget, interests and car. At Classic Travelling we pride ourselves on our attention to detail in preparing every trip we undertake, for both clubs, groups and individuals.
All our fully escorted Group Tours and self-drive Classic Tours are researched, created, tested and organised by Classic Travelling – and we also happen to be experienced, well-travelled and enthusiastic classic car owners. We accompany each Group Tour as your tour guides and organisers.
Unlike some companies and tour organisers, Classic Travelling tour directors actually drive every single mile of every single tour we offer, both as a reconnaissance trip – and then to accompany the Group Tours. We also carefully handpick and then visit and/or stay in every hotel we use and recommend, to ensure they are of the standard expected by us and our customers. We use small, character hotels wherever possible, not large, corporate or coach-party hotels where you're just a number, not an individual.
A Classic Travelling tour is organised, but you are not. This is no regimental exercise and you are free to spend your days as you wish, at your own pace, doing exactly want you want. All we ask is that you arrive at the accommodation we have booked on your behalf each evening (Group Tours only).
We provide you with a comprehensive tour book to help you make the most of your road trip or classic car tour. This book contains your detailed and easy-to-follow route directions and route maps, accommodation information, and describes everything we think may be of interest to you, that you will be passing by each day. The tour book also gives you a little bit of history to the area, and may include some little anecdotes or stories about the places you are passing through. The idea of the book is to help you have all the information you need in just one place, and not be cluttered with various guide books, leaflets and maps.
Classic Travelling organises small, friendly, escorted Group Tours and holidays, with no more than 15-20 cars, for you to join, or take one of our Classic Tours as a self-drive tour if you wish to travel independently, just using our tour books and information.
We pride ourselves that our each year about 75-80% of our bookings are from previous tour participants, including from our very first tour in 2003. However, everyone is made to feel equally welcome and many people comment on how friendly and sociable our tours are.
For any questions or queries have a look at the FAQ page, or the Useful Information page

- Love, Peter; Strangio, Paul
- Abstract
- 'Arguing the Cold War' brings to life the passions, flawed visions and intense personal engagement that characterised Australian politics in the 1950s. Communist and Catholic activists recall what seemed to them a desperate struggle between liberty and tyranny, for the future of the labour movement and the security of the Australian people. Labor people remember their party tearing itself apart. Skilled historians explore some of the significant events and issues that scarred a generation and degraded our political culture with simplistic certitudes. As so many of our current public debates resemble school-yard squabbles, this book is a salutary reminder that politics can be about principles that matter.

I cannot tell a lie, I love Chronicle Books. Their variety and quality is second to none, plus they are one of the friendliest book companies in the world. Their support of bloggers large and small plus the way they have embraced all forms of social media have make them one of my favorite web sites, Facebook pages and Twitter feeds.
This holiday season Chronicle is making one blogger and reader very, very happy. They are sponsoring a "Happy Haul-idays" blog giveaway, giving away 2 gigantic prizes valued up to $500 each!
Here's the details;
I'm gonna give you my ultimate Chronicle Books wish list, you comment on it and we're BOTH entered to win! If you have a blog then you can post your wish list, I'll comment on it and we'll both be entered to win again! In fact, you can comment on EVERY blog that enters and get more entries to increase your chances!
One blogger will win their wish list and one of their readers will also win!
For more information on posting your own blog and submitting it to Chronicle, check out their web site.
In the coming weeks you will also be able to find a list of the participating blogs on the same page so be sure to bookmark it!
Now, for my Chronicle Books wish list!
In order to help me reach my One Million Steps goal, I'd like to utilize their City Walk decks. These guides feature 50 perfectly sized walks including easy-to-read maps, each printed on their own heavy duty card and housed in a very convenient storage box. I'll be able to easily traverse the canals of Amsterdam, the generous public spaces of San Francisco and historic Rome!
I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a little stressed with all that travel so I'll need a way to relax when I'm not ticking off steps.
Now, I love to take and post photos of my adventures but sometimes I get in a rut with taking the same old boring photos. I'll need a little photographic inspiration!
Certainly I'll have time to ponder things while walking and traveling. I'll probably have so many thoughts that I'll need to get them out of my brain and onto paper. I don't want to take my laptop so I'll need a nice journal.
I'll need some reliable advice!
And information about where to stay!
A fine selection of postcards to mail home!
And finally, some inspiration when I write my inevitable memoir which will CERTAINLY be picked up and published by Chronicle Books!
All of those should help me easily and quickly reach my goal, don't you agree?
Please comment with your favorite or dream travel destination and don't forget to include your e-mail address so Chronicle Books can find you if we are the winners, and...FINGERS CROSSED!

Additional Supplemental Educational Services Providers Approved by State Board
October 23, 2003 -- The State Board of Education today added two new names to the list of approved providers of Supplemental Educational Services under the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
Supplemental educational services are intended to increase the academic achievement of eligible children in reading and math through tutoring and other high-quality academic enrichment services that are provided in addition to instruction during the school day.
In today's action, the State Board approved Cicero School District 99 to provide supplemental reading skills, and Wicker Park Learning for reading and math skills. With the addition of these two providers, the Approved List of Supplemental Educational Service Providers now totals 19 providers.
"We are pleased to add these much needed services," said State Superintendent of Education Robert E. Schiller. "While it is required as part of No Child Left Behind, we need to ensure that providers meet the criteria to assist our students."
Schools receiving federal Title I funding are required to provide supplemental educational services for students if the school fails to make adequate yearly progress on state standards-based assessments for three consecutive years. In such schools, parents are allowed to pick providers from the list of approved SES providers, and districts then contract with the approved providers for services to eligible students. Districts use a portion of their current federal Title I funding to pay for the services.
School districts must notify parents about what supplemental education services are available and who is eligible to provide them, as well as a brief description of the services, qualifications, and demonstrated effectiveness of each provider. Parents should get the information from the district at least annually in a language and format they can understand.
Under the No Child Left Behind Act, State Board approval of providers is required. The full list of providers is posted on the Illinois State Board of Education's website at http://www.isbe.net/nclb/htmls/sesp.htm.

Don't wait for prom; have 'the alcohol talk' with teens
Many area high-schoolers are full of excitement this time of the year.
They are busy preparing and primping for their prom celebrations with the hopes of a night of friends and fun to long remember.
They'll don formal attire and head off to area auditoriums and gymnasiums, hotel ballrooms and excursion boats with the hopes of creating lasting memories.
For the teens and their parents, many hours have been spent preparing for the annual event. From choosing the perfect gown and matching tuxedo to finalizing hair appointments, plans for the perfect prom have been in the works for several months. But when alcohol and a lack of responsibility are combined with that special night, those memories turn tragic.
The prom should be a time of happiness. That's why it's important that parents talk with their teens about the consequences of drinking alcohol, and not just on prom night, but any time.
Teens must know that drinking alcohol during their big night does not make them adults. Parents must be sure their teens know the rules now, before proms are held.
Teens must be sure they know not to get into the car with any driver who has been drinking, and they must know they are responsible for their own actions. If teens truly want to prove what adults they have become, they must show they know how to prove they're worthy of the responsibility.
Some tips for parents include:
– Curfews should be made clear.
– A parent or other adult friend or relative should be near a phone on prom night in case the teen needs assistance.
– Teens need to know that parents must be kept informed of plans and if the plans change, teens should call home immediately to tell the family just where they're going and when.
Parents, please don't let this busy time of the year deter you from being an active part of your teens' prom. Talk to your children about the importance of them being adults, especially on their prom nights.

2012 NFL Draft Team Needs: NFC North
The 2012 NFL Draft is nearly upon us, and this edition is much clearer than last year, at least in terms of team needs, because free agency has already taken place. Here on the staff blog, I'm breaking down each team's top needs and fantasy outlook for the draft, going division by division. Today we head to the NFC North, and, if you missed them, check out the AFC East, AFC North, AFC South, AFC West, and NFC East. Got a player you want your team to target? Let me know in the comments.
Also, be sure to take a look at our massive 2012 Pre-Draft Rookie Report, which takes an in-depth look at all the top fantasy prospects.
Chicago Bears
Picks: 19, 50, 79, 111, 150, 184, 220
Top Needs:
1. Offensive Tackle – The Bears addressed the offensive line in the 1st round of last year's draft by taking Wisconsin OT Gabe Carimi, but this unit remains a big issue. Carimi started just two games and had knee surgery, while starting LT J'Marcus Webb has struggled in pass protection. The Bears will have to think hard about drafting someone like Ohio State's Mike Adams or Stanford's Jonathan Martin in the 1st round. Yes, [...]

Juggling too many medications is risky
CHARLESTON – Seniors also are at risk to have an adverse drug reaction, drug interaction or a medication mistake as the number of medications they take increase, according the the West Virginia Poison Center.
Director Dr. Elizabeth Scharman said research continues to show that as the number of medications increases, the chances also increases. If a problem with medication does occur, the poison center can help. Poison specialists are available to answer questions about dosing errors and adverse drug reactions.
To prevent medication mishaps, the poison center recommends the following:
Keep an up-to-date list of all medications taken and what they are being taken for. This list should include prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements. All of these products count.
Share this up-to-date medication list at every doctor, dentist or pharmacy visit. This will help ensure that there are no drug interactions.
If given a new prescription, always ask if this replaces a medication or should be taken in addition to current medications.
Ask the pharmacist if there are any food interactions with the medication. Some foods, like grapefruit or grapefruit juice, can make some medications less likely to work or more likely to cause harmful drug reactions.
Keep all original medication containers even if a pill minder or other pill storage device is used. The original container includes specific dosing instructions, drug name and drug description which are important pieces of information to be able to refer back to.
Always read the medication label prior to taking the medication to avoid mistaking medications or taking too much of a medication. If pill storage boxes are used, a typed instruction chart can be placed next to where the box is stored.
Never take more medication than what is prescribed. Call your physician for recommendations if you believe that the medication is not working well enough for you.
Track medications using a check-off list or medication journal. This helps prevent taking extra doses by accident.
Dispose of all medications that are no longer needed, such as expired medications and prescriptions that have been discontinued.
Never take someone else's medication. In addition to being illegal, it can result in serious harm, including death.
Keep the West Virginia Poison Center's number, (800) 222-1222, readily available.

Gloria was a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. Gloria dedicated her life to her family, especially her children and grandchildren. Gloria was a pillar in her family, whom many turned to for advice, love, and compassion. Gloria's maternal comfort was sought out by her children and extended family. Gloria's unconditional love and acceptance is what drew people to her. Her infectious smile, grand sense of humor, and loving arms are what made Gloria desired. Her character never wavered, nor did her sense of purpose. Everyone was welcomed in her home and she made sure you felt the warmth there.
Gloria's wisdom surpassed her formal education through life experiences and living out her faith. Gloria's faith remained concrete, even during the time of adversity. Over the years, Gloria has suffered such great loss; nonetheless, time softened her pain and strength gave her perseverance to continue to live life. She was a leader of her family and showed everyone how to not take life for granted and learn to love and appreciate each other, despite differences.
For eighteen years, Gloria remained dedicated to her work with the Beeville Independent School District as a Cafeteria Worker. Gloria met and created amazing friendships over the years and loved her friends dearly, as they loved her.
Gloria's hobbies included spending time visiting family and friends, enjoying her grandchildren, going on shopping sprees and having lunch dates. Gloria will be remembered for many things; however, her homemade turkey and dressing from scratch and her fideo are unforgettable. Simple pleasures of shopping at K-mart and eating Wendy's chili made her happy. Simple things for a woman who was so simple yet so humbling.
Joe and Gloria would take their entire family camping to Concan, Texas yearly, an event that Joe and Gloria highly anticipated and their children were ecstatic about. The family camping trips were epic and will continue for years to come. Gloria was a devote Catholic and raised her children the same way. We were so fortunate to have her as a mother, as others were lucky to have her in their life. Words cannot explain how remarkable Gloria was. Her words of wisdom and compassionate heart will remain within her family for years to come.
Gloria was the backbone of the Rodriguez Family, and her legacy will live within her children and grandchildren.
Gloria was preceded in death by her parents, Aurelio and Antonia Guajardo; her sister, Felicita Barrientos; her son, Oscar Rodriguez; and husband, Joe A. Rodriguez.
Gloria is survived by sons, Joe Frank of Beeville, Joe Henry (JoAllison) of Pflugerville; daughters, Alma and Irma (Patricio) Flores of Beeville; sisters Mary Jane (Pete) Rivera of San Antonio, Alicia (Ralph Casas) Cano of George West, Pauline (Richard) Cisneros, and Zenaida (Juan) Munoz of Beeville; brothers, Eleutero (Anita) Guajardo and Aurelio (Lydia) Guajardo of San Antonio, Ricardo (Alma) Guajardo of Clute, and Jesus Guajardo of Beeville. Gloria has fifteen grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
On Tuesday, June 24, 2014, a rosary was held at St. James Catholic Church at 7 p.m. and on Wednesday, June 25, 2014, a funeral Mass was held at 10 a.m. at St. James Catholic Church with the burial following at the St. Joseph's Cemetery with Father Richard Gonzales officiating.
Pallbearers were Richard Cisneros, Pete Rivera, Aurelio Uribe, Michael Rodriguez, Alfredo Rodriguez Jr., and Michael Loya. Honorary pallbearers were Oscar, Luke, Elliot, Cooper, Bennett Rodriguez and Rico Flores.

Today I was running errands. I ran to Elk River and finally purchased a hitch for the new ATV. I was looking for a trailer that I could pull behind the ATV possibly converting it so that I could screen soil into it, recover the finds and haul the soil away from the dig site so when the hole expands, I am not moving fill dirt more than twice.
I really did not find anything that I was looking for. I have an old snowmobile trailer that I am contemplating putting down steel mesh on the bed so that I could overlay mesh in different sections for different applications. However, this idea has many problems to over come.
One problem is the agitation of the screen. One solution is to put the screens on wood frames and attach rollers or tires to the bottom. But that would still be a manual agitation.
There has to be a product out there or design that would allow one to trailer in a screening system to classify soil manually or mechanized…and be affordable. I guess I have to look a little harder online for solutions that have already been made. If you have an idea, let me know!

Dordt College News
Dordt College recognizes outstanding faculty
April 29, 2013
At the college's annual end-of-the-year banquet, the Dordt College Office of Academic Affairs recognized three faculty members with awards for their work. Two of the awards, for teaching excellence and noteworthy scholarship, are new this year.
The Dordt College Award for Teaching Excellence was awarded to History Professor Dr. Paul Fessler. Fessler's game-based instructional methods, known as "Reacting to the Past," have been described in the Chronicle of Higher Education as teaching "that sets students' minds on fire." Faculty in his department point to him as a mentor and speak often about discussions he leads about Christian teaching.
Fessler is a member of the Academic Senate and the originator and coordinator for Dordt's annual Ideafest, where students present their research and projects to their peers and the community.
"He pours himself into his work, and he does so joyfully," says Associate Provost Leah Zuidema. An alumnus who nominated him said that Fessler "continuously pushes his students to think deeper, try harder, and challenge themselves and others in historical analysis and study. He is tough, but fair."
The Dordt College Award for Noteworthy Scholarship was presented to Dr. Nathan Tintle, who has published 12 peer-reviewed articles and delivered eight conference presentations in the last two years. Tintle has mentored more than 40 undergraduate research fellows since 2006, sharing his insight with student researchers from all over the nation.
In two years at Dordt, Tintle has won three external grants worth more than $588,000, including a substantial National Institutes of Health grant for work with the Human Genome Research Institute, and he launched a new summer program for high school students called DCSIMS (Summer Investigations in Mathematics and Statistics).
Tintle is lead author for an innovative textbook that is being field-tested in a variety of high school and college classrooms. A high school teacher who is pilot-testing Tintle's new textbook says it has "radically changed" his curriculum, and students using it have described it as "hands-on, tremendously helpful, and engaging."
Established in 1994, The John Calvin Award is given annually to a Dordt faculty member who inspires students in the development of their world and life view within their own area of study and expertise. Chosen from nominations by alumni and faculty, this year's award was given to English Professor Dr. Mary Dengler.
One of the nominators summed it up this way: "Dr. Dengler is an inspirational professor, who as co-director of the Kuyper Scholars Program and editor of ProRege (Dordt's reformational journal), has been integral to academic activities at Dordt College... Her willingness to help students with writing outside of class is commendable; her willingness to put aside her own interests for the sake of her students is admirable."
Dengler received her award in absentia, because she was attending the Kuyper Conference at Princeton Theological Seminary with students.

Ferry gets 2 more years to stop dumping coal ash
Nation's last operating coal-fired steamship has deadline of 2014
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is giving the nation's last operating coal-fired steamship two more years to stop dumping waste ash into Lake Michigan.
EPA previously ordered Lake Michigan Carferry to stop coal ash discharges from the S.S. Badger by last December. But the agency said Friday the two sides had reached a proposed agreement extending the deadline to the end of the 2014 sailing season.
Regional administrator Susan Hedman says it's the fastest and most certain way to halt the ash dumping. Carferry owner Bob Manglitz says the agreement will save the jobs of its 200 employees.
The 60-year-old ferryboat hauls cars and people across the lake between Ludington and Manitowoc, Wis., between May and October.
There will be a 30-day period for public comment on the proposed deal.

Este artículo también está disponible en Español: Panorámica noctura de Barcelona, en HDR.
Probably, this is the most complex photo that I have made to date, both because the number of exposures required, and because the processing required: to create the panorama which can be seen on the header of this blog, I had to take 27 different photographs, and then process them with a computer during several hours; however, I think the final result well deserves the effort.
The exposures
When preparing a panorama, after the tripod has been placed on the selected spot, the first think I usually do is to ensure that the camera is properly leveled; otherwise, strange deformations may appear during the stitching procedure. In cases like this one, the easiest way is to put the camera into an orientation such that the horizon gets at the middle of the viewfinder (I know, we are breaking the famous two-thirds rule, but that can be corrected later, just cropping the photograph). Then, turn the camera left and right, and check that the horizon stays at the middle of the viewfinder.
Experts recommend a 30% overlapping between images, but I prefer to play safe and do a 50% overlapping; to make this panorama and cover all the field of view that interested me, determined that a minimum of 3 positions was needed.
I wanted to use HDR techniques too, because the contrast between the lights and the shadows was too high. Then, for each camera position I made 9 exposures, ranging from one second to four minutes and sixteen seconds, all of them with the diaphragm fixed at f/10:
The panoramas
In theory, Hugin is capable of joinning an HDR panorama by itself; but in practice I was not getting a good result, and decided to find an alternate path: I created 9 panoramas, one for each exposure, and then made the HDR from these. Some people prefer to make an HDR for each camera position, and later join them in a panorama; but that method did not perform very well for me, especially when I tried to use href="http://wiki.panotools.org/Enfuse">Enfuse.
To make the nine panoramas, we could open with Hugin each set of three photographs separately, join them as if they where independent panoramas, and later make the HDR; but this method has two great dissadvantages:
- On the darker exposures there are hardly a few visible spots, and it is difficult to make the images match.
- There is no guarantee that the resulting panoramas will be aligned, because each one may have different control points.
In order to avoid these problems, what I did was calculate the panorama for the first set of three images, and then apply that same optimizations for the other groups:
- First, I copied the files from the first set to IMG_1.tiff, IMG_2.tiff, IMG_3.tiff, and made a first panorama PANO_1.tiff with these.
- Then, I overwrote IMG_1.tiff, IMG_2.tiff, IMG_3.tiff with the files from the second set, and made a second panorama PANO_2.tiff (avoiding to modify any parameter).
- I repeated this procedure with the other sets of images.
The result is a set of nine perfectly aligned panoramas:
The processing
Now I joined those nine panoramas, using Enfuse and the default parameters; the result was good enought, and decided I did not need any tone-mapping. Using RawTherapee changed a bit the colours and the curves, reduced a bit of noise, and gave more sharpness; and finally with GIMP retouched some minor deffects.
The final result
The final result is a 6114 x 1378 pixels file, big enough to expand over half a meter, even if printed at high resolution:

Kevin Wilson: Freedom newspapers
TUCUMCARI — The flu was making Tucumcari junior Drew White sick, but the thought of another loss to Texico made him sicker.
White recovered in time to play, and make a marquee defensive play, as the Rattlers rolled 38-6 over visiting Texico to stay perfect on the season.
D.J. Martinez and Josh Benavidez both scored twice for Tucumcari (6-0) and Eric Holt ran for a team-high 110 yards, but White created a turnover and helped anchor a defense that forced four Texico turnovers and carried a shutout until the contest's final 18 seconds.
An undefeated season continues for the Rattlers, who earned their first victory over Texico in four seasons.
"I was throwing up all morning," White said. "All the years I've been here they've killed us bad and I wanted to beat them."
White made sure Texico didn't make it four in a row, as he was able to cause a turnover on the Wolverine's opening second-half possession. With Tucumcari protecting a 17-0 halftime lead and Texico driving, White stripped the ball away from Wolverine quarterback Zane Anderson near midfield.
White's coaching staff was shocked to see him come up with the ball that way, and White admitted he tried to give the ball away as soon as he got it.
"I just saw (Anderson) running backward," White said. "I saw the ball and took it. I tried to give it to my running back so I could block for him, but he decided to block for me."
It was one of six times Texico (3-3) turned the ball over — twice on interceptions and four times on fumbles. Seven plays after that particular turnover, Benavidez found Adrian Jones for a 13-yard touchdown pass to end any hope of aWolverine comeback.
Rattler coach Dub Smith thought his team did a good job of taking advantage of the turnovers, but felt his team made its own luck on the evening.
"(The turnovers) helped a bunch," Smith said. "They've got a good football team, they're well ccoached.
"Sometimes, turnovers are caused by a good ballclub. We played a really good ballclub there and we're happy. But we think we're a good ballclub too."
Two of Texico's fumbles came as the Wolverines were receiving punts, and each time the Rattlers got the ball for an extra possession. The first gave Tucumcari a second chance after its opening drive, and Martinez took advantage with an 8-yard run to start the blowout.
The second punt Texico fumbled away put Tucumcari in the unusual position of declining a roughing the kicker penalty midway through the fourth quarter.That sequence was more than enough indication it was the Rattlers' night.
"That's the best club I've seen in a while," Texico coach Michael Prokop said. "We knew coming in that we'd have to play picture perfect to beat them.
"We held them to three-and-out on the first drive and we thought we were OK, then we gave it back to them on the punt. You can't do that."
When Texico gave them a chance — and often when they didn't — Tucumcari answered with pivotal scores.
Martinez scored on a 25-yard run on the Rattlers' third drive, and kicker Anas Badshah booted a 30-yard field goal to make the score 17-0 early in the second quarter.
Benavidez scored twice in the fourth, first on a 1-yard sneak early in the fourth and again on the game's exclamation point, a 51-yard run down the right sideline after scooping up a Zane Anderson fumble.
Prokop was upbeat after the game, even though the road doesn't get any easier. Texico faces Santa Rosa next.
"Our non-district is tough," Prokop said. "That's how we want it, so when we go into district, there are no excuses."
The Wolverines got on the scoreboard late as Billy Scott scored on a hook-and-ladder play, with a pitch from Jonathen Sullivan at the 27 and a run down the sidelines.
The Rattlers stay home next week, with Dexter coming in as its homecoming opponent. Smith said Texico was a better team than the score indicated and was pleased with the victory.
"We were really happy to win," Smith said. "We're happy with the victory and we're loking forward to playing Dexter next week."
Justin Garrison had a game-high 141 rushing yards on 29 carries for Texico.

All signs point to an angry Bulls team coming out on the attack early and often, big test for our guys if we can fend them off, or even better, meet them with equal intensity. Personally, I'm eager to see Amare tonight, I think he's going to surprise some people as the season goes on.

Big C wrote this? You should quote the source of the article. One of the better critiques of D'antoni's coaching I have read either on the web or in print.
Big C is part of our forum: he visits at times- read the article you'll understand
(Big C) Mike D?Antoni you have one year to get your act together pal. For two years you have made excuses and excuses have been made for you. We have heard everything from ?the team doesn?t have enough talent? to ?the players just don?t play with energy.? Two years have gone by and all we have seen is 50 and 53 losses. This is not going to cut it next year. Mike D?Antoni has not shown that he?s a better coach than Isiah Thomas (33 wins) or Don Chaney (37 wins). Without future Hall-of-Famer Steven Nash things on Mike D?Antoni?s side are looking as dark as the darkest nights in Gotham City.
When Mike D?Antoni was brought in as the Knicks coach we were told that he was a players? coach, however, what we have seen is quite the opposite. We have seen him bench Nate Robinson for a month, and put Hughes, Jordan Hill, Darko, and Douglas in exile while letting other players run wild in his ?Swish or Brick? system. Marbury and Robinson are great examples of what happens when a coach does not get along with a player. However, why did the rest of the players get shafted? Every player can?t be wrong. Players, like most employees, just want their roles to be defined.
The second big hype we heard was that Mike D?Antoni is a coach who could draw in big players because they would want to play for him. So far we have not seen that. In fact this off-season will not just be a test for Donnie Walsh but it will also show if players really want to play for Coach D?Antoni. It is easy for a player to say, ?I love Coach D?Antoni? when the question is asked in front of the media. What is a player suppose to say? ?I don?t like him? I hate his guts.? Well, maybe I should rephrase that. Who, outside of Amare Stoudemire, will volunteer a negative response? We also can?t assume, just because a player likes D?Antoni as a coach, that they do not like their current coach and team situation better.
One good thing that came from Mike D?Antoni this year my appreciation of a well trimmed mustache. Aside from that I can?t really think of anything. Oh wait, I take that back, the Knicks did looking good in the 3-2 zone this season.
Mike D?Antoni looked confused and erratic in everything from poor management of veteran players (like Jeffries and most importantly Chris Duhon) to playing favorites. Chris Duhon was allowed to miss shots as well turn the ball over. Yet he didn?t get any criticism in public. Yet Nate Robinson would get blasted immediately. Al Harrington was allowed to shoot until his hands started to bleed, while others were told to share the ball. And let?s not forget about David Lee being allowed to play mailbox defense.
Mike D?Antoni was supposed to be the team leader by setting the example. However, how is a player supposed to take game preparations seriously when his coach is joking around with opposing team players before games and even during games?
D?Antoni?s biggest blunder this season has to be letting Duhon run the point guard position for so long. The next biggest mistake was not adjusting to his players. D?Antoni failed to make new plays and design an offense that suits his players. Pat Riley was known for ?Showtime? with his Lakers. Yet when he became the Knicks coach he made them adjust to a defensive halfcourt mindset. Every team in the league learned how to shutdown the Knicks pick and roll plays. D?Antoni kept running those plays like a scratched CD on repeat. He also focused on outside shooting when the Knciks team is not stacked with shooters.
No, he?s no Pat Riley. However, nothing stopped D?Antoni from making adjustments. There is no reason why the Knicks couldn?t have more wins this season. When you see Scott Sklies bring his Bucks to the playoffs you have to wonder why couldn?t the Knicks at least have been close to a playoff shot.
Sklies could have easily run the same excuses, ?we have a rookie point guard? and ?not enough talent?. Instead Skiles got his young group to believe in defense and the winning. Coach Rick Aldelman of the Houston Rockets is another coach that did a decent job with the talent that he had, resulting in his Rockets playing above 500. in the West.
A teacher can not use ?I can?t teach because I have bad students? as an excuse. And the same goes for coaches. Nor should a coach be just collecting 6 million a year for doing nothing
Next season when the Knicks sign talented players the microscope will be on you Mr. Coach D?Antoni.
The Best Of Mike D'Antoni
Big C wrote this? You should quote the source of the article. One of the better critiques of D'antoni's coaching I have read either on the web or in print.
One of the best REAL evaluations I've seen. This should be printed in all of the NY papers.
I'm curious what the Dantoni supporters have to say about it.
Real Talk
Big C.....great artcle
The majpr problem of this article is that it fails to take into consideration the most important aspect: While Isiah and Cheaney actually had a team which -- at least on paper -- looked as if they should be winning more games, D'Antoni had to work with a team which was only built according to one principle: getting below the salary-cap as far as possible. Isiah had the most expensive team in the NBA and did not manage to win more games.
"Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand."
Kurt Vonnegut
Mike D'Antoni is yet to win 33 games, in his first two seasons with the Knicks, despite having a better player in David Lee to lead the way.
The team's lack of talent is partially D'Antoni's fault.
He wanted to get Chris Duhon ahead of Andre Miller, and he wanted Jordan Hill ahead of Brandon Jennings, and he wanted to get Gallinari ahead of Lopez.
"Over the summer, D'Antoni wasn't thrilled by the idea of the Knicks pursuing free agent Andre Miller and he had no interest in signing Jayson Williams and Jamaal Tinsley, two point guards that worked out for the club. Also, D'Antoni favored Jordan Hill over Brandon Jennings in the draft."

I agree with you as far as the rookies are concerned (and I don't want to open that Pandorra's box of 'the Nets do not win more games than the Knicks'). The thing is that Lee's development was only possible because he got so much burn.
"Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand."
Kurt Vonnegut
Given the Knicks have been a terrible team talent wise, and they've been a revolving door of players with lower and lower contracts, Dantoni's rep - whether he deserves it or not- is going down... He's not going to be seen as a bad coach, beacuse as i said we've had no talent, he's just not going to be seen as a great coach, because a great coach would have been able to salvage some...
As Hahn talks about, as Walsh has probably touched upon: no one expected this year to be of any worth, but i don't think any expected us to be as bad as we were... which inevitably will reflect on Dantoni... because a good coach would be able to make the most of what he has and get things jiving, at least from time to time...
at the same time, coaches like mike brown or jackson, if put in the same circumstance, would likely end with the same result...but they have star players so....
that leads to the next point, in which, yes after this off season, given we get some talent, we'll be able to hold Dantoni to a little higher standards...even though he seemed to fall below the already low standards we had for this season.... especially if we get some good talent and not just the same 'okay' players... regardless, we'll be going into this season with better than what we've had the last few [hopefully much better], and the only thing that should hold Dantoni back is the team chemistry and the fact that most the players haven't played w one another...
If Donnie does his job this off season, we'll be able to see how good a coach Dantoni is when he has some talent to work with, and isn't riddled with Marbury/Nate Robinson like players/stuff going on..
Lets get down to FACTS here......last (2008-9) season the OKC Thunders had a 23 win season (PG-Westbrook, SG-Durant, SF-Green, PF-Collison, C-Kristic).....this (2009-10) season the OKC Thunders have a 50 win season with the only changes to their roster from one season to the next was the addition of rookies 6.10 Serge Ibaka, 6.4 Harden, and 6.1 Maynor. Plus moving Durant to the "Point-Foward" position with SF-Green as his side-kick.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
At the start of the 2009-10 season no-one expected the OKC Thunders young roster to win over 30 games this season. Or become one of the top best running offensive team u have to outscore to beat in the NBA.
Celebrity coach Dantoni (in 2008-9) had all of Isiah Thomas players (with the exception of Eddy Curry) healthy and ready to win games for him.
Even Dantoni's ex-Suns player Marbury was willing to add an explosion coming off the Knick bench to add slashing and passing for all the scoring players.
Coach Damntoni had the power to put a hold on the early trade of the Knicks two highest scorers on the team (Zach & Crawful) 12 games into the season with a 7-5 Knick record (with the explosive bench player Marbury being DNP all of those 12 games).
It's not hard to figure out right now, the reason why (even) a NBA computor wouldve selected one of the leagues top offensive-coaches (Dantoni) for the job to coach Isiah Thomas abundance of offensive talented players:
PG-Marbury, SG-Crawful, Combo-Nate, SF-Q.Richardson, SF-Chandler, PF-Zach, PF-Lee, C-Eddy Curry, plus add 6th-pick SG-Mayo or C-Lopez with an offensive-minded headcoach Isiah's Players oponents would have to outscore the Knicks to beat them.
Which wouldve made the Knicks an above 500 Knick team in the Eastern Conference.
The Knicks no-longer have all those offensive talented players so the Knicks have very little need for a one minded offensive celebrity coach Damntoni.
I read so many members comments about the Knicks not needing to make last 2008-9 season playoffs to get blown-out in the first round, as much as they needed to shed Zach & Crawful contracts.
To me that is considered backward thinking.....players with playoff experience are easier to trade especially when they draw double-teams so their teammates can score.....Damntoni system only impliments two to four passes before the shot which was what Isiah Thomas players needed to win.

Your opinion is riddled.....u have NBA coaches that coach to each of their players talents (team-coaches Mike Brown, Phil Jackson, Pop, Sloan, and now Scott Brooks) and u have coaches that rely on their pet-players talents for the win (Isiah & Dantoni).
Celebrity coach Dantoni NBA career coaching is only three seasons of success from talented Western Conference Players "PG-Nash, SG-Joe Johnson, SF-Marion, and PF-Amare.". Having two veteran players that orchestrated a jellin chemistry from their star-talent in a running system in the west (Marion & Kidd uptempo game, plus Nash, Finley, Jamison, and Dirk uptempo game).
All four of the Phoenix Players above talents was worth above $10M per season before Dantoni was hired as an assistant coach for the Phoenix Suns (the leadership captain of the team "Shawn Matrix Marion" at the time was receiving $15M per season). Shawn Marion was the most minute played player on the team with 42 mpg throughout headcoach Dantoni (3 and half year) tour with the Suns.
Everyone knew that Isiah Thomas needed a team-oriented headcoach for his individual-scoring players, but dum-dum owner Dolan hired one of Isiah Thomas most hated enemies coach Charlie Brown.....it was the same as the Pacers owner hiring Larry Bird.....to get rid of Isiah Thomas...
This is what Knicks Online needs more of: Long and interesting debates that captures the reader's attention span.
It could feel depressing, seeing how it takes nearly 10 hours for someone to post a message on this forum.It makes the Knick fan-base appear as deserted as the Washington Nationals fan-base.
I'm sorry that I had to bring this up in the middle of this thread, but for these past couple of months, it seems like Knicks Online has lost two-thirds of its members.The Knicks are in the midst of one of their most interesting off-seasons in more than a decade but it's like nobody cares.
This article serves absolutely no purpose but to paint D'antoni in a negative light.... I read this same exact article in another forum and all I did was Seriously who cares about the last 2 years. Everybody even remotely associated with the NY Knicks knew damn well what Walsh was going to do and furthermore what Walsh had to do. To criticize the results of the teams last 2 seasons is just a waste of time. But yet people still want to do it. And we come up with cute little knicknames like "dummie" walsh and Mike "D'anphony". What a pathetic bunch of losers. Everyone knew what was going to happen and yet we can't just wait until the plan has been executed. Would you be happy if D'antoni would've taken the Bulls job and pasted us year in and year out for the next decade? How much of a chance would the Knicks have had to be competitive in that scenario? Yeah D'antoni,Rose,Noah & Amare would've stomped us year in and year out. DId you hear any players come out and say yeah I would love to play for Avery Johnson or Mark Jackson??? No you didn't. In life you can't have everything the way you like it. So grow up. You know the saying beggars can't be chosers? Well the knick franchise 2 years ago were beggars and the laughing stock of sports period. But because of the reputation of the Great city called New York and because Walsh is from the Bronx we got lucky and got one of the better GM's in the last 20 years. Remember what teams put together by walsh did to us? And because of him he was able to sell Mike D on a plan and steal him away from one of our rivals. What if right now we having to face the idea of chicago landing Bron,Bosh,Amare or Wade and all the same things were said about how they like Mike and would love to play in his system? We'd still be crying like little girls. Seriously Knick fans grow a pair and man up and make the best out of the situation because when it gets rolling and you scrubs want to jump on the bandwagon all happy I'll be calling you out.
The New York Knicks has the Top-3 largest Fan-Base in all the NBA!
Lets Go Knicks!
So under any plans made by the Knick organization the Knick-Fans deserve to see better than what they seen the past two seasons which was misscrude, misrepresented by poor management and effortless coaching of over 25 different players while the only thing Management and coaching were on the same-page was "F....k these two seasons" which cost the Knicks four valuable first round picks (2008, 2009, 2011, and 2012).
If u are to blind to see the Knicks management and headcoach did nothing to enhance, improve, or create an optimistic enviroment of the future to come for the Knick-team and Knick-Fans in the last two years.....your expectation as a knowledgable Knick-fan is slippin.
In the previous season (2008-9) we seen several NBA mediocre teams develope a "Jellin" chemistry from 3 or 4 of their players on the roster to make a splash for a .500 roster in the 2009-10 season:
Rockets, Bulls, Grizzles, Bobcats, and the OKC Thunders.
Within two seasons we have not seen two-consistant players "Jell" on the Knicks roster for any kind of hope or success for the future signing of the so-call slot-machine Two-Max FA.
this thread drives me nuts. every thread dissing Mike D'amntoni drives me nuts. I hate this coach so much, hate his mustache, his "I'm a better coach than you are a player" attitude, his non-defensive scheme, his dissing and sitting of primo players (Marbury, N8, Hughes, Douglas, Darko, Hill), his idea that a better offense will beat a great defense, a shortened rotation, lack of minutes to the rooks, insane love of Duhon, it all just drives me nuts.
Watching Rick Pitino talk last night during the playoffs, talking about Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson (who I wish Donnie picked for Knick coach), just made me realize what a total dick D'amntoni really is. He's just a dick! He doesn't belong in New York. I really think most of the folks on this forum can coach the Knicks better. Any of the three professionals mentioned above would have done a better job, IMO. Steve Nash is the only reason Phoenix thrived under D'amntoni. the proof is in these consecutive 50-loss seasons.
Is Mike Brown really one of the best coaches in the league, because LeBron is by far one of the best players? Is D'amntoni a great coach because David Lee has gotten better with each progressive year? Will bringing in 2 new Max F.A.'s to FIT INTO D'AMNTONI's OFFENSE > DEFENSE world really make a total difference? I don't know, but I wish we had a different coach.
I agree, Big C, the meter is running, unfortunately old Donnie and clueless Dolan have staked their reps (and a multi-million upgrade to MSG) on this sh*thead coach. We're stuck with the f*cker.

The Refugio school board was in agreement that raises for teachers were in order this year to try and be more competitive with neighboring school districts. The discussion was Thursday evening, June 27.
Superintendent Jack Gaskins said teachers in the district have not had salary increases in a long time.
He provided four options to board members to study. The board will address the options at its July 29 meeting.
Gaskins said the district is second to the bottom of school districts for pay.
"We will have to be more competitive on pay," Gaskins said.
The district has 135 teachers.
In other business, the board unanimously approved a contract for a school resource officer, who would have an office on one of the campuses.
The contract is an interlocal deal between the town of Refugio's police department and the school district.
The town of Refugio already approved its part of the bargain at its meeting Tuesday, June 25.
The school district will pay the officer's salary of $41,800. The city will provide equipment, uniforms and pay benefits and overtime.
The full-time position will match the time teachers put in each semester of 187 days.
The officer will be involved with all extracurricular activities, including football and band out-of-town trips.
Also the SRO will train district staff and students about safety pertaining to online and to lock-downs.
Officer Peter Silvas, who currently is with the Refugio Police Department, was chosen for the job. He will begin his duties on Monday, Aug. 19.
The board also hired three teachers: one teacher for the visually impaired, a high school English teacher and an elementary school physical ed teacher, who also will be a girls coach.
The board also discussed its GKD local policy that deals with the public's use of school district facilities.
Plans are to restrict the public and students from walking on or using the new artificial turf on the football field. However, the track would be available for use by the public when it was not used for school functions.
However, the board agreed to review the fee structure for use of school facilities.
Gaskins said an example of fees not enforced was the cafeteria rental. The district's policy calls for $35 an hour for the rental, but people have been paying a flat $35 for a whole day.
He added that the $800 rental for the football field was never implemented.
The board also adopted all of the recommended policies from the Texas Association of School Boards except Can, relating to transportation management.
Gaskins said students need to be transported within the two-mile limit because of U.S. Highway 77 and the railroad tracks presenting a great danger.
In addition, the board approved a resolution to provide transportation to students within the two-mile radius because of the traffic hazards so the Texas Education Agency will have the measure on file.

"Are We, We Are…Are We, We Are the Waiting…"
Billie Joe Armstrong said it best, even though he wasn't talking about baseball.
Ever since the Yankees didn't get Cliff Lee, I've been waiting for them to spend some money elsewhere. And every time I think they are going after somebody, they don't get him. And honestly, I'm getting a little fed up with all this. The Yankees need to make some improvements.
I'm waiting to hear that they got another starter, because now that it looks like Andy Pettitte won't be back, it is clear that they need somebody. But I really shouldn't get my hopes up. I heard that the Yankees were "slightly" interested in Freddy Garcia for some time now, and yet they still have not made a move. I mean, it's not like I'm dying for him or anything, he's not that great, but they've got to sign SOMEONE…or else Sergio Mitre is going to be in the rotation.
It seems that every single time I think the Yankees are going after somebody, the next day I see a headline saying, "The Yankees are not interested in [insert player's name here]."
I saw this the other day, and thought I finally had something to be excited about:

Rafael Soriano is open to serving as a setup man on the Yankees, his agent Scott Boras told ESPN New York on Thursday.
Soriano would still prefer to act as a closer, but the Yanks can have him if the money is right. "I don't think there is a team in baseball where he could be asked to be a setup guy other than the Yankees," Boras said. "There is also a value in playing with Mariano Rivera." Soriano has drawn interest recently from multiple clubs, but he is maintaining a lofty asking price. The righty posted a stellar 1.73 ERA and collected 45 saves last year for Tampa Bay.

The Yankees are not really interested in Rafael Soriano
Jan 7, 2011, 8:25 AM EST
Rafael Soriano says he'd be willing to be a setup man for the Yankees. It takes two to tango, however, and Buster Olney says that the Yankees aren't particularly interested in dancing:
Heard this: As of 6 p.m. on Thursday, the Yankees are not interested in Rafael Soriano. They've seen a lot of $ squandered on set-up men … Soriano would have to make himself absurdly cheap — on a very short-term (1-year or 2-year deal) — before NYY would even consider him
So there's that.
Tough market for Soriano. I guess 45 saves and a 1.73 don't go as far as they used to.
So I guess I'm still waiting…I don't know what for. Yankees fans just need something to smile about, but the way things are going, I don't think we'll be smiling any time soon. I can't guve up hope, though. I worry that the way the Great George Steinbrenner ran the team will cease to exist…but that just cannot happen. Something big has got to happen, it's just got to.
Until then, I'm still "the waiting…"
4 Comments
Waiting is so irritating! But it's not as if we have the worst team in the league. We just need to fill in some missing parts. When that'll happen I have no clue. It's true that every time we're supposed to be "interested" in a player, the next day there's a report that says we aren't. GRRRRR.
Soriano would be a great fit for the Yankees and they should give try and sign him. He could possibly make the transition to closer for the Yanks if Mo decides to retire in another year or two.
I understand the frustration… and you have every right to be… it's just funny to me because this is the sort of thing every other club not named the Yankees goes through all the time😉
Soriano would be a great fit for the Yankees, but i guess it's all rumors at this point. Must be tough for Soriano, though. He had a great year last year… and he can't get a contract even into January, I wonder why.
