Challenging RISK: Achieving Resilience by Integrating Societal and Technical Knowledge
Challenging RISK is concerned with socially integrated mitigation of multiple structural risks in the urban environment. It aims to produce new knowledge on the performance of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to earthquake and fire hazards and to develop an integrated framework for performance-based assessment and structural mitigation. The proposed technical engineering solutions will be developed accounting for the social context within which they are to be enacted. Part of the project focuses on community engagement through use of citizen science techniques and provision of tailored monitoring and data analysis tools to define "acceptable" performances, inform the technical programme of work and the means for effective implementation of mitigation strategies for multiple risks. Thus challenging RISK, aims amongst others, to suggest a community-centric learning about risk and resilience, and an understanding of how models, outcomes of research, guidelines and regulations fit within the needs and abilities of different communities.
- Funding: This project is funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)
- Start & End Date: 2013 - 2017

The sinkhole in Assumption Parish. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Sunday, October 07, 2012 7:56 PM
BAYOU CORNE (AP) — The emergency preparedness director for Assumption Parish says wells are being dug to vent and investigate natural gas trapped beneath a community near a 4-acre sinkhole.
An unknown amount of gas is trapped below Bayou Corne. The water-bearing sands are under a layer of clay. John Boudreaux told The Advocate there are worries the gas might build up pressure under that clay.
He says contractors began driving casing on Saturday for three vent wells to get a better idea about what is happening underground.
He said crews also have begun installing underground devices called geoprobes to monitor gas levels.
Bayou Corne's 150 households have been evacuated since the sinkhole appeared Aug. 3. It is just off the edge of the Napoleonville Dome, a 1-mile-by-3-mile underground salt deposit.

In a joint operation with the Punjab counter-intelligence team, the state Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) raided the house of Nishant Singh, arrested member of Sikh terrorist outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and recovered weapons, suspected to have been sent from Pakistan.
Singh (26), who was arrested on June 19 by ATS from suburban Chembur, had been on the run after firing at officials of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Punjab on December 27, 2009.
Following his arrest, an ATS team visited his village Daleke in Taran-taran district of Punjab and raided Singh's farm where they recovered an AK-47 rifle with 1110 rounds, a 0.30 Chinese pistol, a 9mm Belgium pistol a Zfrench pistol and a country made pistol, ATS chief Rakesh Maria said.
"Singh during interrogation revealed that he had procured the arms from across the border. We are still probing this," Maria said.
Singh was arrested soon after he arrived in the city from Nanded along with five associates, who have been given a clean chit.
"We had sent the photographs of the five persons travelling with Singh to Punjab for verification. But we have learnt that they are not involved," the ATS chief said.

Why DeMarlo Hale was one of the best managers I ever had — and why he's a strong candidate for the Red Sox now
|10.18.12 at 8:13 am ET
Without DeMarlo Hale, I might never have been a big leaguer.
The Red Sox will interview 'D' as their fourth managerial candidate on Thursday. I played for him for three years — in 1993 in High-A Fort Lauderdale, after I was drafted in the 10th round out of Providence College; in 1994, for a full season in High-A Sarasota; and in 1997 in Double-A Trenton — and I think the world of the guy. He and Eric Wedge are the two managers that I just clicked with, personality-wise. As much as I've been preaching that I think this team needs a new set of eyes, I have a hard time saying DeMarlo Hale would not be a good choice. I think he would be.
(Click here to listen to Merloni discuss this post on his show earlier today.)
When he managed me at the start of my career, I was always an older player for my level — 22 when I started pro ball — and so I think he always treated me a little differently. We always had a good rapport. I think he communicates with his players individually and gets the message across of exactly what he expects of them.
First of all, I would never question his baseball knowledge, his in-game knowledge, when I played for him. The minor leagues are a little bit different — where you have to get guys into games as a matter of organizational priority, and the manager is also the third-base coach, so he's watching the game from a different perspective than a big league manager — but he was always on top of the game.
He always got his message across to the players, and he got his players to play hard and made us realize, at that level, what we were trying to do, what the goal was to get to that next level, and how we were going to get there. The years I played for him were some of the better summers I've ever had. We had great chemistry on those teams. We played the game hard.
There was a time in 1994 in Sarasota when he didn't feel like we were playing up to par. He just put us through absolute hell for about two to three weeks — he called it two weeks of 'Hay-ull' — two weeks of hell. It was A-ball, but he kicked the crap out of us to the point where it woke us up. That year, we finished last in the first half and we won the second half in a landslide. We didn't get much help in the draft — even though Nomar Garciaparra joined us, he was just getting started in the game. It was really just our team. We just turned it around. It was a credit to DeMarlo.
The two years I was under him, he got the absolute most out of our entire team, as a team and individually. Personally, he talked to me, built my confidence and let me know what I needed to accomplish and what I needed to become to get to the next level. As far as that goes, how that translates at the big league level — he was always a great communicator in the minors and I would expect him to be the same at the big league level.
One of the best examples of that came in 1994. It was my first full season, and I was playing second base and Gavin Jackson was playing short when we drafted Nomar. DeMarlo called me in and said, "We drafted Nomar — our first-round pick, he's going to play shortstop everyday. Gavin's going to move around and you're going to move around. Listen, you're a good player. If you're going to get to the big leagues, it's going to be because of your versatility. I think you can play third, and I think you can play short and I think you can play second."
It wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear at that time. At that age, 23, you're like, "Screw that — I think I can play second everyday." But he wasn't afraid to tell me what I didn't want to hear, but it was something that I needed to hear. And then he proceeded to tell me what I needed to do and how I needed to go about it to become a big league player: At third, here's what you need to do; at second, here's what you need to do. He gave me a plan in A-ball. I always thanked him for it, because that's the reason I got to the big leagues.
I felt like he did that not just for me but to a lot of people. He's not afraid to tell you something that, even if you're not going to like it, you're going to need to know. That's why I've always clicked with that man. He's just a good dude.
Even before that, there was a time when he had my back that may have made a huge difference in my career. Out of college, I played shortstop and third base for a few games late in 1993. In spring training the next year, the Sox wanted me to play second. They moved me and Bob Schaefer — the farm director — wanted me to stay in extended spring training, because he wanted me to work on playing second base. But I didn't know anything about that plan.
'D' just told me, "Take off. Go to Sarasota with everybody else today." And when Schaef mentioned it to him, he was like, "Lou's already gone. I can't bring him back." Schaef was like, "Bring him back." DeMarlo said, 'I can't do that — he's already on his way."
Later, he told me, "I knew you could handle it. I knew you could play short and I knew you could play second. Schaef wanted to keep you back here but I didn't want that to happen." So he sort of sent me on my way.
At that level, you go to extended spring training, pull a hamstring, get hit by a pitch, get hurt — who knows? You may never be heard from again. I didn't have to worry about that because of what DeMarlo did for me.
On a small scale, that showed me something about who he is as a manager: He has strong beliefs about what he sees in his players, and the confidence to stand up to authority for what he believes. He's his own man, with his own beliefs.
That's important as DeMarlo interviews for the job with the Sox. He didn't get an interview after the team let Terry Francona go in 2011, partly because he was seen as being too close to the collapse. So, after leaving the Sox in December and spending 2012 as the third-base coach under Buck Showalter in Baltimore, has he gotten enough distance from 2011 to manage in Boston?
That's a tough call. That's the downside to DeMarlo Hale right now in this process — is he far enough removed? Unfortunately for him, he's associated with a team that collapsed. Still, there are some new faces as well as some guys who know and respect 'D.' That's the interesting thing about this group.
If you want a little bit of comfort for the players and some familiarity, I think DeMarlo's your guy. And, when it comes to the clubhouse problems in 2011, I still think that he's his own man. I've talked to him. I think he understands that mistakes were made and that there were some things that could have been handled differently. The idea that he was looked at as one of Tito's guys and he'd be the same manager I think bothered him, if that was the case. His job, to me, is to go in and let this ownership know that he at least recognized some things that he wanted to change, and that's not how he will run things.
The tough part about this is that I want new eyes — that's why I'm not even crazy about the idea of John Farrell becoming manager. I think he's good, but I wouldn't give up too much for him. Then DeMarlo gets in the mix, and he's a guy that I respect the absolute hell out of. It's tough.
To me, this year, I think, opened up everybody's eyes that September 2011 was not a fluke. If DeMarlo felt that way to begin with, then spent a year away under Buck Showalter, I think he's got a pretty good grasp of what went wrong, what the issue was and how to fix it. That's why I still think that, even just one year removed, he would be a good candidate.

Requiring someone to take a drug screen before they can buy food is asinine. And all Americans should be against this.
They same goes for pre-employment screening as well.
but i don't believe this is the case
quote:Yes...good policy. Since we're violating working people's rights, lets go after those lazy arse non-working folks too! DUMB. shite.
Since Pre-Employment, random, for-cause, post accident and any other screening IS a reality then it is ASININE to expect that those who get money from the government (who gets its money from private business and working people) for nothing for not working should NOT be subject to the same policy.

Details have emerged about some of the technology choices adopted for the Copenhagen 'T2-Lite' trial, for which Danish operator Open Channel was awarded a licence in August last year.
The trial, which launched on January 1st this year and could run for up to three years, uses UHF channel 39 in Copenhagen, and claims coverage of more than 700,000 households.
In contrast to the BBC R&D trial last year, which squeezed a T2-Lite channel designed for mobile reception into the gaps between a fully-fledged HD service transmitted in standard DVB-T2 mode (now dubbed 'T2-base'), the Copenhagen trial consists entirely of T2-Lite TV and radio channels carried on up to 16 Physical Layer Pipes (PLPs). As their name suggests, each of these can be regarded as a separate data-pipe with its own bit-rate and robustness characteristics, a notable feature of the second-generation DVB DTT standard.
Open Channel's calculations show that configured in this manner, a T2-Lite multiplex can match the data-rate offered by a DVB-T one (see table below), yet still offer good mobile reception (unlike DVB-T as generally configured).
|Stationary reception
|20 – 22 Mbit/s
|37 – 40 Mbit/s
|Mobile reception
|10 – 13 Mbit/s
|DVB-T2 Lite
|20 – 25 Mbit/s
Source: Open Channel
The difference between the T2-base multiplex data-rate (40.2 Mbit/s in the UK) and that of a T2-Lite mux (20-25 Mbit/s) is explained by the fact that the PLPs within it are configured to be much more robust for mobile reception purposes, so run at lower bit-rates (the DVB-T2 spec sets a maximum of 4MBit/s for PLPs when T2-Lite is used).
But that in turn means that they can easily be captured by fixed aerials, too: in other words, the same channel offer is receivable on either living-room displays fed from a fixed rooftop antenna or handheld devices equipped with a T2-Lite tuner (the DVB predicted last September that soon, all [DVB-] T2 chipsets will support T2 Lite).
These channels will, of course, not be HD quality, but that has to be set against the fact that no separate (expensive) mobile TV network needs to be constructed.
One of the interesting assertions made by Open Channel is that DVB-T2 Lite is not only suitable for mobile TV. It is, the company says, "also highly suitable as the future standard of digital radio in place of DAB & DAB+ [...]. With the DVB-T2 / T2 Lite profile you get 2.7 to 3.7Mbit/s capacity (~ 40 / ~ 55 HE AACv2 radio stations) compared to the DAB / DAB+ 1.1 Mbit/s capacity (~ 6 mpeg1 layer II / ~ 16 HE AACv2 radio stations) with the same propagation model."

My wife and I will be flying into Saranac Lake on Cape Air as the last leg of our trip to Lake Placid for SA. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what taxi company we should call upon arrival to get picked up and taken to Lake Placid?
I see in the business listings for Lake Placid Corrow's Adk Taxi at 518-523-9091 and Mountain Taxi at 518-962-2977. The other two listings look like they are more for limo service. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to seeing Shen and Zhao!!

I loved my 07 - but when I saw the new STI....
I just picked it up yesterday. Will post pics when I can get the car clean again. I had to drive a good distance in rain after getting it so it is all types of dirty.
Details - 2011 STI Limited, Plasma Blue Pearl, Silver BBS, and of course... boost gauge.
The new interior is awesome - but still not sure why they can't put a decent stereo in a $38K car. The new leather is much nicer than my 07 had. Haven't played with the Si drive or C-diff stuff yet. Can't wait for break-in to be over!

Toward a Contingency Model of Board-Executive Relations
Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA), 1999
This chapter of Board-Staff Relations for the 21st Century, explores the relationship dynamic between executives and board members, which the author asserts is usually described as a partnership. The author goes on to refute this description, contending that the partnership model is not sufficient in terms of allowing professionals to learn from their experience and to become more effective. The author suggests a new context for describing the relationship between board members and executives under a list of concepts that focus on such areas as status, responsibility, authority and power. The author describes this model as being the contingency model of board-executive relationship where relationships function within an equilibrium based on the exchange of resources and interdependence.

Revolutionary features and stunning power: for anyone lucky enough to have the cash, the Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds is the ultimate mobile workstation
The Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds is a revolutionary laptop. It's the first we've seen to have a second screen built in, the first we've seen to integrate a graphics tablet, and the first to boast a Pantone colour calibrator too.ScreenThat second screen slides neatly from the right-hand side of the 17in main panel; it measures 10.6in from corner to corner and has a native resolution of 768 x 1280. It doesn't have the same quality as the main screen, but it's useful for displaying email, web pages, or the many floating toolbars that can clutter the screens of creative professionals.The primary 17in panel has a capacious native resolution of 1920 x 1200 and offers a huge swathe of desktop space with which to work, as well as very good quality. Colour accuracy is beyond reproach - the Pantone colour calibrator in the wristrest ensures it stays that way - and viewing angles are superb. Our only minor qualm is the panel's slightly grainy finish, which is most obvious on the plain white of a Word document.

Signs & Portents: Nokia's 5800 with Touch Screen
Posted by Site Administrator on October 2, 2008
- 296 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Today, Nokia announced its first mainstream touch screen mobile phone, the 5800 XpressMusic. This is a mass market phone that's an evolutionary extension of existing Nokia designs. Priced at Euro279 pre tax or subsidy, the phone will be available for free on many contracts and should rapidly become available on pre-pay.
Whatever you may hear, this isn't Nokia's first touch screen device or even its first touch screen mobile phone. But unlike the 7710 this will be a mass market platform with real developer support. And Nokia will need it, as many existing Series 60 applications will require developer effort in order to work on the 5800.
The 5800's device aesthetics fit its price point. This phone isn't going to turn heads -- unless the extremely loud speakers catch people's attention -- although it's not ugly either. The deep curved shape fits nicely into the hand and its narrowness makes the 5800 very comfortable to hold and likely explains the leaked 'tube' codename. There are sensible button options along the sides to act as shortcuts for the media bar, dim the screen, adjust volume, go to home, or the classic Nokia green and red buttons to control the phone. While Nokia has forsaken its anti-touchscreen religion it has avoided the fallacy of adopting a new anti-button at all costs mantra, Apple-style.
In countries where both are available, the 5800 will be the flagship Comes with Music (CWM) device. This offers unlimited music downloads, both over the air, and onto a PC, for purchasers of a 5800 that is sold with a CWM bundle. Interestingly, while the 5800 will ship in 2008, the CWM bundle version won�t arrive until 2009.
The software is clearly existing Nokia Series 60 with light enhancement for touch screen use. It works surprisingly well but the appearance is unexciting and lacks wows. Example: it's possible to switch photos by dragging a finger across the screen -- iPhone-style -- but there are no eye candy transitions, one photo just vanishes to be replaced by another in its entirety.
The 5800 should do well. Nokia are smart not to go head to head with the iPhone with this handset. At the lower price, it's a compelling phone. But I can't shake the feeling that this is a phone Nokia could have built several years ago.
Also, the premium N Series ranges' positioning feels orphaned: The 5800 delivers a better browsing experience, a better music experience, and has a larger screen for video playback compared with any current N Series handset. I wonder if Nokia has imminent plans for a revolutionary touch screen N Series mobile phone? Perhaps a new high end phone based on Nokia's Maemo Linux OS which was recently announced to have had mobile telephony support added?

Something tells me that you woke up today feeling some 90s nostalgia. In fact, it's Monday, so I know you did. Well, y'all know I always have a cure for the Mondays… and the good news about up-and-coming pop/rock group Broken Anchor is that you can listen to them any day of the week. Today just happens to be the exclusive PITNB debut of their official video (featuring a completely awesome cameo from Rachael Leigh Cook) for their cover of the unforgettable 1997 Harvey Danger hit, Flagpole Sitta. I've seriously been listening to this song since the day it was sent over to me, wishing like hell that I could sing… and that I had an acoustic guitar. And that it was 1997 or 1998 (either or). But luckily for us, Harley-Leonard (one half of Broken Anchor) can sing, and his voice is, like, rugged ethereal on this track. It's glorious. Peep the video above and click inside to learn more about Broken Anchor! Y'all know I love finding and sharing sweet new music and good covers; Broken Anchor definitely fits the bill. How much do you love this cover?! Anybody else crying yet? No? Just me? That's cool.
Meet Broken Anchor:
Earning comparisons to Wilco and Fleet Foxes, atmospheric, retro-influenced pop/rock band Broken Anchor evolved through a collaboration between singer/songwriter Austin Hartley-Leonard and producer Brad Gordon. After honing his craft as a solo artist with songs featured on TV shows such as "Burn Notice," "Hart of Dixie," "Jane By Design" and "The Ghost Whisperer," Hartley-Leonard originally imagined Broken Anchor as a studio project. Yet, with time, Harley-Leonard and Gordon soon saw the songs take on a life of their own, and by adding drummer/percussionist Mike Duffy to the mix, Broken Anchor's live show is now a memorable, high-energy affair.
Throughout 2012, Broken Anchor released a series of EPs, titled Broken Anchor Vol I, II, and III. All three volumes are available to DL for free at www.BrokenAnchorMusic.com, and a full length debut is slated for release in Spring of 2013. Make friends at www.Facebook.com/BrokenAnchorMusic.

EBRPD determined to defile the ridge with vans
Original post made by another hiker, Downtown, on Apr 24, 2013
Many people have made valid arguments about why this must be stopped, apparently the EBRPD is so caught up in their insistence to do it that we will suffer no matter what.
I suppose that if everyone who is opposed would call and email each member it might make a difference. Then again, based on my non-replies maybe not.

Well, I have to admit it -- the hikers are mostly cut from the same cloth -- they consider the ridge, "their ridge".
I still think the hillside, below the crest, is a great place for a nice restaurant. Great place to sit and view the Amador Valley, while enjoying good food and some of the valley's finest wines. Perhaps the EBRPD shuttles could be privatized to take diners up and down the hill from a shuttle lot, thus reducing the size of the parking lot.
Oh geez, sorry, I forgot, the park and the hills belong to the able bodied hiking crowd. Others, please stay away...!!

Someone mentioned a lift system (ski lift type of thing?) which would be the best solution of all. Love going up to Squaw Valley with or without my bike in tow and reaching those spaces.

The big concerns are cleaner air, more housing, transportation, and jobs? Right? So why not high rise housing along the ridge? Chairlifts and vans to get you home, and bicycling (all downhill) to get to work. Clean beautiful air up there, lovely views, and no urban sprawl. Incentive programs for overweight folks on public assistance to get in to the housing will also improve public health.
That's a win-win-win-win! Everyone will like except the ridge NIMBY who started this thread

stinky, how long do you think the beautiful air and lovely views will last with high rises littering the ridges? No urban sprawl? so, sub-urban sprawl is OK, then? Are you a friend of the Lin family? Or just a developer or union contractor?
a resident of Livermore
on Apr 25, 2013 at 2:35 pm
maybe a few seniors will take a hike along the path and drop a few burrito crumbs along the way to find our way back...tee hee...
in my opinion, the ridge should be a place where Safeway employees set up tables and wrap porkchops and raisins for sale...
that's what I call A BEST BUSINESS PRACTICE...

I would like to encourage the EBRPD to think along the lines of a van that would take anybody to the ridge, including mountain-bikers; mark a reasonably level loop trail (1/2 mile?) starting and ending at the van-stop for seniors and those with disabilities, plus a ride back down for anyone waiting at the van stop.
For now, I'll put my restaurant idea on the back-burner...!!
By the way, Developer and Union Contractor are not bad words...they are probably built the home you're currently living in.

Hey don't trash the developers and union contractors, they built most of the housing and commercial buildings here, if you don't like it here there's always the Central Valley, the non union element would be glad to build you something, I've seen the quality of that kind of construction ---no thanks!! Keep the shuttles off the hillsides, keep the bicyclists off the middle of our streets, and why is everybody carrying their dogs into stores now, when did that become ok?
a resident of Dublin
on Apr 28, 2013 at 11:20 am
another hiker, perhaps the entire ridge should be closed off. It would cut down on litter and erosion.
How old are you, BTW? At some point, you will be ecstatic that a shuttle could carry up your old bones.
I've climbed Tri-Valley hills, Sierra hiking trails and Death Valley ravines, and so I am looking forward to the ride.

Great For Hydration for anyone
We live in a hot dry climate, so we use this on a daily basis for hydration. Great taste and quenches my thirst, as I already drank a lot of water but never felt quenched. I only use half of the suggested drops, to minimize the salty taste, which is a good taste, just a little strong at the recommendations.
Another great product from Trace Minerals Research

I began using this after my doctor advised me to increase my electrolyte intake. Most other electrolyte mixes include flavorings and sweetening that I find unnecessary, not to mention many of them use fructose as a sweetener - bad idea. Since using this product, my leg and foot cramps have stopped, and my bodily hydration has improved, as the electrolyte doesn't simply flush through the urinary system like plain water does. Instead, it hydrates the tissues and stays with me to improve my overall health.
Love liquid electrolytes

They make me feel so good. It drives away low blood pressure, and actually gets me hydrated rather than drinking tonnes of water and still feeling thirsty. Water tastes better with it. Brightens my eyes, actually helps me detox because the water is getting through my system. This is a staple for me
this product did what it advertized to do

Governor Donald Carcieri trumpeted the importance of wind energy yesterday as the vice chairman of a bi-partisan group of 29 governors pushing for greater federal support for wind.
The event added to a nice green sheen the governor has cultivated. But close watchers know it's the energy independence wind promises that most excites. And the governor's environmental record is, in fact, more mixed than most know.
To wit: last week, largely unnoticed, Carcieri joined another group of governors - 18 of them, plus the governors of Puerto Rico and Guam - asking Congressional leaders to block the Environmental Protection Agency's effort to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. Their rationale: we need to hold down energy prices in a down economy.
The effort drew a strong reaction from the EPA, with a spokesman rejecting the premise that "addressing greenhouse gases threatens the economy." It is, perhaps, a bit disingenuous to suggest the effort won't cost us something. But the EPA's push, which comes out of a landmark Supreme Court decision in 2007 giving the agency the right to regulate the gases, is one of the more important environmental undertakings in the country right now. And Carcieri, wind advocacy notwithstanding, has made it clear where he stands.

There's no doubt about it, the Messaging app on Android isn't great. Though Google's integrative vision of Hangouts may make the app's lack of functionality a moot point, the company has a long way to go before SMS is as manipulable and beautiful as it is on some third-party applications. A great example? EvolveSMS, the successor to Sliding Messaging.
From an interface perspective, EvolveSMS is exactly what you'd expect from the creators of Talon: nearly flawless. Using Android 4.4 KitKat's transparent nav bar feature to great effect, the UI evokes Google apps in its tasteful use of sliding drawer, Gaussian blur, and animation. (more…)

Obama makes San Juan Islands a national monument
Victory for Washington state, economically and otherwise
Last October I visited the San Juan Islands and started to actively encourage President Obama to create a national monument on Lopez Island and surrounding areas. Recently I've learned that President Obama has in fact approved the creation of this outstanding new national monument ["Obama creates San Juan Islands National Monument: read the proclamation," seattletimes.com, March 25].
I want to stand up to say how proud I am to have been a part of this effort. The creation of the national monument means that important lands reflecting our culture and history will be protected for generations to come. I imagine that we can look forward to an increase in tourism dollars and job creation as a result — so I see this as a big win-win for Washington state.
As a combat veteran and as someone who works to connect veterans to the environment as a means of healing and transition, I can see this land as a place where veterans and their families can come and reconnect to themselves, each other, the environment and the community. From my perspective I see this as a place that can potentially save lives but, most definitely enrich the life of all who visit.
–Jeremy W. Grisham, Edmonds

Chris Berman's schtik was cute in 1979 when he, ESPN (and cable TV) were a novelty. Now they're all a colossal bore and have made asses of themselves.
Yeah. So far tonight, I've also heard Hunters Point, Pelham, and the moon.
Given some of Hamilton blasts, I'll give Berman a pass. What a power display. What I'd give to see a ball clear the frieze.
That was a good article. It's interesting to read about life across from Yankee Stadium from the perspective of the people who actually do live there.
Can you, or anyone else, post a still from that 360-degree view from the roof of 831 Gerard?
Archie Bunker: All I can tell you, Edith, is I'm surprised at you! Dragging me off to a moving picture like that! It was absolutely disgusting!
Edith Bunker: Well, I'm sorry, Archie, how was I to know? I thought it was a religious picture, "Cardinal Knowledge!"
Since we are on the topic does anyone beleive that josh gibson actually hit one out of the stadium? I mean he was a B.A.!
The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.
..."I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for."
There was a really interesting article in the post about some of the hidden places and treasures in Yankee Stadium including the Gehrig pole, secret vault and the championship banners. here's the link: http://www.nypost.com/seven/07142008...780.htm?page=1
..."I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for."
The Yankees switched dugouts in the mid 1940s. Jacob Ruppert died in 1939.
He had nothing to do with the switch.
Once again, the modern "sportswriters" show that they know nothing at all of Yankee history they didn't directly observe. They'll believe, and print, anything they're told (especially if it's Tony Morante that's doing the telling.)
I know someone who visited that Gehrig Room and he said it was amazing. He said the lower area of the stadium just has an intense feel of real great history.
Hey kids! ESPN was so giddy about the All-Star telecasts from YS that they decided to hijack the final game on 9/21 for their own purposes. So the game time, which was TBA, is now 8PM!!
Are you traveling to NY to be there? Did you make plane and hotel reservations? Do you care that some of the former Yankees who might have been on hand for the ceremony might not want to lay over to Monday? Were you going to take some kids to experience this piece of history that will now be exhausted by the 3rd inning and be whining to go home? ESPN says you can take a royal hike for yourself.
Yes, I am describing the screwed up situation in which I now find myself: a hotel on the wrong night, looking at at least $300 in airline changes, my wife losing a day of work and my son missing at least a calculus class or not going to NY at all. But hey, it's another chance for Joe Morgan to be boring, for Jon Miller to mispronounce some names and best of all for Chris Berman to pretend he understands baseball. Screw me and hundreds like me.
well...it is the final regular season game of yankee stadium and it comes as no surprise that they would show it to the national audience at prime time. the time scheduled for the game was TBA, so it's not exactly ESPN's fault either.
