News from the Hilltop
Birmingham-Southern College kicks off series of firsts during combined Alumni Reunion, Homecoming weekend
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—For the first time, Birmingham-Southern will host Alumni Reunion and Homecoming on the same weekend. The "Livin' for the Weekend" celebration will be Nov. 7-9, 2008, on the college's Hilltop campus and will feature a number of first-time events.
Included in the three-day celebration will be four historical performances by the BSC theatre students of "West Side Story" to celebrate the 40-year anniversary of the BSC College Theatre building. The production opens Nov. 6 at 7:30 p.m. and will show during the weekend on Nov. 7 and 8 at 7:30 p.m., as well as Nov. 9 at 2 p.m.
Another historical first for the weekend will include a special service to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the BSC Yeilding Chapel on Saturday. A Service of Celebration and Rededication for the Next Forty Years will take place Nov. 8 in the chapel at 10 a.m. The service will feature former and current BSC chaplains Don Shockley, 1964-72; Mike Harper, 1976-79; Stewart Jackson, 1979-2007; and John Richardson, 2007 to present. A highlight of the service will be the rededication of the chapel with passages from the original service of dedication from 40 years ago.
Homecoming will mark another memorable first for the BSC community and will showcase the BSC vs. Sewanee football game Nov. 8 at 1:30 p.m. It will be the first game on the college's new Panther Stadium home field. The Homecoming festivities will continue after the game with a band party on the BSC Admission Welcome Center lawn.
The weekend will conclude Sunday, Nov. 9, with a reception and reunion in the Admission Welcome Center Hulsey Hall at 5:30 p.m. honoring the 40-year anniversary of the BSC Theatre.
Other planned activities throughout the weekend include an Alumni Awards Luncheon and the BSC Sports Hall of Fame Induction Banquet. Also, it will be the first time ever that alumni reunion class parties will be held on campus, as well as the launch of the first college sponsored all-alumni philanthropy project. Traditional events include the President's Reception, mini-college lectures featuring BSC alumni and faculty, and a host of other activities for family enjoyment.

Browser Address Book as Firefox Addon
Users commonly on the Internet often maintain many online contacts. Mozilla now wants to help manage these contacts with a special Firefox addon.
The new Contacts addon creates an address book in Firefox that provides access to local and remote friends and buddies. The special aspect of the addon is that it's controlled by the browser and the browser determines which application or website can access the contact. The Firefox extension also provides autocompletion of contact email addresses in forms, for example.
According to Mozilla Lab's announcement in their blog, the Contacts addon is still in an experimental stage and currently supports contact synchronization with GMail, Twitter and the Mac OS X address book only. However, a generic importer tool already allows bringing in contacts from desktop or Web-based sources.

Cracow (Nov. 18)
Jewish students were today thrown out of the lecture classes in the Faculty of Medicine by Polish students when Professor Kumaniecki was lecturing, resulting in a postponement of Kumaniecki's lecture. At a lecture by Professor Lotowski, the Polish students demanded the expulsion of their Jewish classmates. When the latter resisted, the Polish students withdrew and Lotowski continued his lecture. At another meeting of the Polish students they again adopted a resolution demanding numerus clausus and the delivering of Jewish corpses to the Protectorium and the dissolution of the Jewish Academic Society.

First of all, I'd like to welcome Mr. Lewis back to the world of film. It's been a while since My Left Foot, and we're all happy to see that you can still act as well as anybody. Second of all, I'd like to direct a general question to MPAA: Why is this movie rated "R?" The only scene gory enough to merit an R rating is at the very end, and we don't even see the impact. All we see is the aftermath and the widening pool of blood from which the movie derives its name. There are no F-words, and, in fact, very little profanity at all. But I digress. I must move on to the actual review.
First impression: this movie is excellent, and well worth the $8.00 that I was charged and that my friend didn't have to pay because the cute girl at the box office liked him. Whatever. Anyway, the first fifteen minutes of the movie truly set the tone for the rest. There are practically no words spoken, except for those muttered underneath the breath of the broken-legged Daniel Day-Lewis. For those of you who don't know, the movie is based on the Upton Sinclair novel, "Oil!," and follows one Daniel Plainview on his careening descent into darkness. The movie begins, as I have said, with Mr. Plainview alone in a deep hole, mining for oil. When he gets close, he lights a stick of dynamite and climbs out of the shaft, trying desperately to haul his tools up as well. He slips, his tools explode, and he climbs back into the shaft, where he falls and breaks his left leg. The movie spans 29 years of Mr. Plainview's life, from his beginnings in 1898, to his inevitable decline into madness in 1927. The majority of the story takes place in 1911, when he buys the property of the Sunday family for $6 an acre. He seems like a nice man at first, but proves to be just as slippery as the "black gold" that serves as his lifeblood.
He cheats the family out of $5000, ruins their land, and wreaks havoc on the group dynamic of the Sunday family. Oil guides his thoughts, actions, and emotions, as is revealed in a talk with another major character. Mr. Plainview reveals that "he always sees the worst in people," and that "he's been building up his hate for people piece by piece over the years." You see, Daniel Plainview wants nothing more than to be left alone by anybody he's ever known or loved. The essential theme of the movie, in my humble opinion, is that the so-called "American Dream," if it ever existed at all, was born of nothing more than greed and lust for power. What the movie has to say about America is oftentimes not pretty, but it strikes a chord in its truthfulness.
Bottom Line: A+ This is definitely worth your money and the time you will spend thinking about its implications on the modern society we live in.

AMSTERDAM — Hoffenheim midfielder Daniel Williams is done for the season after picking up a shoulder injury during Tuesday's weight training session.
The southerners have just two games remaining on their Bundesliga slate, while the US international is expected to spend as many as six weeks on the shelf. Williams ends his first Hoffenheim campaign with 22 starts in 28 appearances across all competitions.
"It happened in the gym during a training session," Hoffenheim press officer Marcell Kamm told MLSsoccer.com. "He will be out for 4-6 weeks."
The 23-year-old Karlsruhe, Germany, native seems unlikely to be fit for late May US national team friendlies against Scotland and Brazil. With some fortune in recovery, Williams could more realistically aim to be available to coach Jurgen Klinsmann when the USMNT open 2014 World Cup qualifying against Antigua and Barbuda on June 8.

We'll sell the sea
SIGNIFICANT tracts of Jersey's territorial waters could be rented out to European companies to build wind- or wave-power farms, the Environment Minister has said.
SIGNIFICANT tracts of Jersey's territorial waters could be rented out to European companies to build wind- or wave-power farms, the Environment Minister has said.
Although it is a move that has been hinted at in the past, Rob Duhamel's comments at a Scrutiny hearing yesterday are believed to be the first official confirmation that the States is considering boosting its income by allowing foreign companies to harness the Island's natural resources to generate renewable energy in exchange for payment.
And he told the Environment Scrutiny panel that preparations behind the scenes were progressing well to allow the plan to become a reality sooner rather than later.Subscribe to our Newsletter
Comments for: "We'll sell the sea"
Well that's the fishing industry screwed then !!!
Not to mention the effect it will have on our shore lines with tidal impacts, more green weed around the islands with greater rip tides??????
In 20 years time, the children of today will ask why the hell this wasn't looked into!!!!!!!!!
Bill and Ben
Nothing new there!!!
This current government do not want to help the industry anyway, The days of a larger potter is well and truly gone, just single handed beach boats will be left.
But they might have a harder battle with the french!!
Would it not be better to use our own waters to generate cheaper electricity for ourselves????? so we are not tied to a monopoly like the JEC.
Don't talk such sense, man! We don't need sensible thinking 'round these ways, besides, who needs electricity when we can have money!
Great plan, and who's going to pay for the development and installation of bleeding edge power generation technology? 20% GST, anyone?
R. Williams
We own over 50% of the JEC through the States.
Do you suggest we get a company such as EDF to run it?
It will cost billions to develop yes we can do it ourselves but 50p a unit will really have the customers moaning. Unless a major country is going to foot the bill just not possible for such a small place like jersey to exploit.
Markus Stein
I don't understand the comments here, it's better than getting electricity from nuclear power and I'm sure Jersey will get it's power from these companies investing. Just put solar panels on your roofs if you have a problem with it
Windy Miller
we've already sold out our Island to finance and big business, so why not start to sell the sea its the only thing we have left.
But wait a minute what about HM the Queen, doesn't Her Majesty own everything up to and including the high water mark on the sea shore, so unless we are going to put these wind farms on our beaches maybe Mr. Duhamel should consider what the Queen has to say about it or isn't he going to bother and ask her?
the thin wallet
good point windy.
i too believe her majesty owns our waters .
lets see if one of raleighs relatives turns up with a bit of dusty parchment.
or the fief de la mer pops out of a cupboard.
we do have a good tidal flow and range.
not a bad idea to use it.
hopefully it will keep us all on income support regardless if you own a home of not.
when the fan gets switched to full on.
Former Queen's Valley Local
You've beaten me to it with the "Fief de la mer" idea!
About time! At least with this one we are not 'behind the curve' as with so many other things from our 'sleeping politicians'.Online gambling,IPR and fast broadband (terrestrial of course gulp!) just to name a few.
Now lets see the Jersey Independence Party try and scupper (again) the FACT that we CAN benefit from European research either as third parties, full project members or as sub-contract parties.The energy calls from Brussels are more open in this than some of the others.Believe me ,I know what I am talking about having been an SME in FP5 and FP7 projects and only last week was identified as the Jersey delegate at an inaugrual project meeting.We were up there on the pie chart as 2% of the delegation.
Yes it does take some imagination to find your way through the maze of acronyms (I have my own PIC and am a full LEAR), but we are part of Europe for trade and are welcomed.
As a slight aside we are unlikely to be looking at wind or wave but definitely tidal turbine and environmentally this can link with fishing no-take zones and aquaculture to enhance productivity overall.
That said I have marginal confidence that if this is put in the hands of Economic Development it will come out well but I can remain hopeful.
BS Acronyms of Today
And now for the practicalities.
ERFTCUTW (employ redundant fishermen to clean up the water). MLOV (massive lumps of vraic) and DFG (discarded fishing gear)will need removing from the TLA (turbine location area) if we are not to be left with a TCU.
By all means remain hopeful. I'm not too hopeful that you will only get paid by results and not up front for grandiose ideas liberally laced with impressive jargon.
I really like M'LOV but perhaps KIOC !Keep it in ordinary context , might also apply.
My point was that this is going to happen near us anyway whether or not we are 'players'.
There are enough cheques (sic) and balances on the economic and environmental front to ensure that fairness should be a priority. Then if we get cheaper electricity, greater catches ( more complex environment and no-catch zones)and an input into a new industry at the ground floor I can't see the problem.Most of the areas being considered are only fished by French pair trawlers at night and weekends or when the Harbours website shows the Norman Le Brocq on the dry! That will have to stop.
Bill and ben
The areas been considered are all fished by jersey vessels!!
French pair trawlers are not allowed to fish within the 3 mile limit!!!
We really have become desperate haven't we!
Angry 'addock
Sell the sea ? Is the situation really that bad that we have to sell the sea ? If so I suggest all Jersey grannies watch their backs as they could be next !
Grannies and Grand Fathers need not worry about being sold, they need to worry about the so called Liverpool Care Pathway I for one will refuse to go into the Jersey General hospital when I reach old age !!!
Mjolnir de Jersiaise
We could sell our Liverpool Care Pathway services to European countries!
C Le Verdic
I've seen enough of the General Hospital and the Crematorium to keep me well away from Jersey in my old age. Depressingly predictable pathway.
In lieu of rent, could we not take maybe 50% of the energy? That sounds fair to me.
Tony B
If areas are off limits for fishing, and are considered in such a way as to improve stocks, good idea. Why not let someone else pay for installation, as long as the States do negotiate a good deal for Island consumers. The elctrons have to be agitaed somehow if forums like this are to continue.
As the Island is also claiming the sunniest place in UK why not insist new building incorparate solar panels? I realise that Jersey Air Traffic may now suffer a surfit of pork, but the problems of energy use won't go away.
This government would sell their soul to the devil if it brought is a few quid.
Mulvie Le Phew
Andrew - Would it not be better to use our own waters to generate cheaper electricity for ourselves????? so we are not tied to a monopoly like the JEC.
The problem with that idea is that we would have a cheap reliable supply of electricity not dependant upon ageing degrading cables leading to France. Chris Ambler has worked hard on his excuses for regular power failure and is committed to ensuring that Jersey has the highest electricity prices in Europe.
I run my house on Duracell AA batteries which are available currently on a BOGOF promotion. In environmental terms it is utterly unsustainable and I'm having to find increasingly ingenious ways to deceive the bin men with their disposal but it does mean during our regular power cuts mine is the only house in Jersey with power.
Good luck with the Duracell's. I will stick with one of the cheapest electricity supples in Europe my bin men are far to vigilant.
It's the little bunnies that give the game away.
build it where the old sailing school was the wind is always there which ever way it blows,
If it brings in money and we get lower bills than go ahead but if we still pay the same forget it.
Think you could do better?
A few positive comments and the usual barrage of NEGATIVE comments from people that 'probably' have achieved very little in life, find it easy to find fault with everything and have actually contributed nothing to get the Island out of the hole that it is in.
Someone suggests something that will cost the Island nothing and potentially raised millions!....Who would be a Politician and be open to such constant negativity.
davey West
A suggestion for you, cut back on the army of Civil servants with grand Government titles [ that the private sector corporations laugh at ] that produce nothing but cost a fortune draining the coffers.
That is Just what the UK Government under PM Cameron has done yet again in another wave of goodbye letters, in order to reinvest in infrastructure to boost the economy
Mr Cameron points out that it is not front line workers who are essential for services.
Procurement Enhancement Operatives....!
every time us peasants over here in Guernsey feel down, we just take a look at what you lot are up to and suddenly, we don't feel so bad.
Someone mentioned with justified distaste our poor poo disposal situation over here, well, when these things are implemented, it'll go some way towards dispersing some of it...
cheers! :)
donkey_ville wait till you hear the bridge to france one!........
D de Jersey
Like a giant whisk o' lait hahaha.
This is what happens when the SHTF hahaha rofl.
Anyway.. This is untested technology and very expensive and so it shall be for a long time. This is a total non headline "politician mentions sea borne power generation tech in meeting."
You don't just decide to make this sort of project happen, it takes years of surveying, feasibility and planning to get it off the ground, even if Duhamel had the political capital to kick this off he probably won't be around see it switched on.
Sorry my stinky neighbour we won't be stirring the... Oh never mind I'm done with my puerile nonsense.
The Historian
Well we already sold off all our morals, our land and spirit.... all we have left is our foreshore!! Needless to say there will be some sort legal issues with this one too!!!
You have been given another chance.
Do it right from the start and use the money
made for the good of the people of Jersey.
Pip Clement
Scrope, scrope, scrope!
Wnat's that noise?
It is a failed member of an intellectually bankrupt administration scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Just wait until all the seriously wealthy who have paid millions for sea views work out that they will be looking out on 21st century industrial seascape.
You will hear the screams from La Coupe to Portelet you!
crafty move
Now this is clever. We sell the sea to an unsuspecting buyer who takes it away, but 12-1/2 hours later it returns to us at high tide.. I think we're onto a winner here.
They would sell their grandmothers if they could.
They would sell their Granny!!!!
I wonder if a small water turbine could be developed for yachts to harness energy while under sail, power on yachts is always a concern, it would be much like a wind generator but placed on the keel!
Too much drag which would compromise performance. They already have wind generators on board which do the job perfectly well and don't noticeably slow the vessel down.
The good Minister may be disappointed to discover that the Crown Estate owns the seabed. Could I suggest a quick discussion with HM Attorney General before he embarrasses the Island further.
This is false hope. (a) Jersey does not have an adequate tidal resource for viable tidal turbine energy product (only place in C.I. is off Alderney) and (b) As far a generating energy from Wave is concerned there are far better places to site this. Sadly there will be no private enterprise knocking for this opportunity.
i'd like to see where about's around the island they would consider putting the turbines
Might as well stick them alongside the new incinerator at La Collette. Cement a few to the sides of the block, it cant look any worse than it does at the moment.
Given that the environmentalists prevented them putting up a simple pole to monitor wind strength on an offshore reef what chance has any of this – until sea levels rise and we can place a sea turbine on top of Plemont.

I kind of disagree, my company is slowly finding out outsourcing is not saving us much money, if any. Our turn over rate in India is insane, and it is costing us a lot of money, we are trying Mexico now, but we are finding some of them to be a bit slow at learning, which my field to some is not easy to learn. I will be down there teaching for about six months at the end of the year to see what happens, but I know a lot of companies are slowly moving out of India for call centers because of the turn over rate and them not saving much money vs customer satisfaction. While I am not saying jobs are coming back here I bet it slows down how fast companies like mine outsource, I know it has mine at least and our customers which include all the major cell phone carriers in the US and Canada.

2014 CSU, Chico, Butte College Field Day Has Record Attendance
2014 CSU, Chico, Butte College Field Day Has Record Attendance
The California State University, Chico College of Agriculture and the Butte College Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources hosted their annual FFA Field Day on Saturday, March 1, 2014, at the CSU, Chico University Farm, Butte College campus and CSU, Chico main campus.
The field day gave over 1,900 high school students from across California and into Oregon an opportunity to demonstrate their communication skills, technical competence and leadership abilities through various competitions. More than 2,400 students were registered to compete in the 22 different contests, resulting in a 79 percent show rate and a 14 percent overall increase from 2013. Contests students competed in included livestock judging, agriculture mechanics, agriculture sales, agriculture pest control and many more.
College of Agriculture Associate Dean Dave Daley said that this was the best field day yet. "I have been around these contests for nearly 40 years as a participant, worker, planner, advisor, coordinator, and this was the best job I have ever seen," said Daley. "There were so many Chico students working along with faculty and staff and so many moving parts, and I never heard of one major issue or complaint. It ran like clockwork."
The CSU, Chico and Butte College FFA Field Day was facilitated by college staff and faculty, volunteers and students. CSU, Chico student and 2014 field day co-chair Ashley Pipkin was excited to see the event come together. "This year we had a leadership team of 27 students that have been meeting all semester to pull this thing off," said Pipkin. "Aside from our team, hundreds of students, staff, and volunteers dedicated their time and energy to hosting these contests for FFA students every year. Contests like these help mold high school students into hardworking, dedicated, and responsible individuals. That alone makes all of our hard work worth it each year."

If you've ever come across a picture of Shiloh Jolie Pitt and wondered to yourself, 'Who is that cute little boy?' don't worry. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt know their daughter looks like a boy, and they're just fine with it.
In the latest issue of Vanity Fair Angelina says she dresses Shiloh, "like a little dude. Shiloh, we feel, has Montenegro style. It's how people dress there. She likes tracksuits, she likes [regular] suits. She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys' everything. She thinks she's one of the brothers."
Angelina adds that the 4-year-old may just be following in her own footsteps. She shares, "Shiloh's hysterically funny, one of the goofiest, most playful people you'll ever meet. Goofy and verbal, the early signs of a performer. I used to get dressed up in costumes and jump around."

DOWNEY - The Warren High boys soccer team has won only a single match this season, but the Bears are anything but a bad team. In fact, they have only one glaring weakness - the ability to put the ball in the back of the net.
That Achilles' heel was on display again Tuesday in Warren's 1-1 draw at crosstown rival Downey in a San Gabriel Valley League opener.
The Bears (1-6-5, 0-0-1), like they have in many games, easily outshot the Vikings 21-6 but managed to score only the one goal.
"We can't put anything away," said frustrated Warren coach Miguel Pena, whose equally frustrated team has scored just a dozen goals in a dozen games. "I tell the kids it's like we buy 200 lottery tickets and one little guy comes in, gets one ticket and steals it from us."
With the start of league, Warren had a chance to put the past games behind it and start anew. But with just a tie in the opener, the defending league champions left what will be much-needed points in the standings on the field with their many missed scoring opportunities.
"Our league is very tough," Pena said. "We have to understand that those points add up."
From the Downey (6-2-3, 0-0-1) perspective, the tie was something of a moral victory.
"You gotta defend your home turf and we got a point," said Vikings coach Steve Barber, who was happy with his team's play. "We are going in the right direction."
Even though the Vikings were outshot 9-4 in the first half, they came the closest to scoring as Jaime Alvarez's header went off the crossbar in the 27th minute.
In the second half, Warren came out hard looking for a coveted goal only to fail on a flurry of good chances. That left the door open for Downey.
The Vikings took the lead on their only shot of the second half, off the foot of Ernesto Patino in the 59th minute.
A mild upset looked to be in the making, but that didn't go through the heads of the Vikings.
"The first goal didn't mean anything," Barber said. "In this league nothing holds up until the final whistle is blown."
Brandon Herrerias, arguably the Bears' top player, took it upon himself in the second half to make something happen for his team. He finally did in the 63rd minute when his attempt from about 20 yards tied it. The goal came on Warren's 18th shot.
"It's frustrating," Pena said of the multiple missed chances. "But as you could see, the boys kept fighting. That goal was an example of our not giving up."

"Pitch Perfect"'s Brittany Snow On Being In A "Lesbian Scene" In Almost Every Movie
"It's very strange, because every movie that I've done, almost, I've always had a lesbian scene in some way. In 'John Tucker Must Die,' I kissed Sophie Bush and in ['Pitch Perfect'] I'm in the shower naked with [Anna Kendrick]. I don't know why! It's just so strange how I attract that … fine by me!"
The Frisky caught up with actress Brittany Snow at a screening of her new movie "Pitch Perfect" in LA last week, and she gave us some background details on her naked shower scene with costar Anna Kendrick. (Which, by the way, should be a pretty easy selling point if you're trying to convince your boyfriend or another dude to see the movie.) The cast of "Pitch Perfect" — which is about a high school a cappella group — will be on hand for tonight MTV Video Music Awards. Check out the cute promo video they shot for the show, after the jump!

2. The sex manual is what he became famous for, despite his extensive writings on pacifism.
3. Published in 1972, at the tail end of the sexual revolution, it capitalised on the apparent need of many people to hear from an expert that fornication was fun.
4. Comfort wrote the book, which was based on an affair he had with the woman who was to become his second wife, in two weeks. The chapters on starters, main courses and sauces and pickles in the original Cordon Bleu Sex version made it into the final edition: The Joy of Sex: A Gourmet Guide to Lovemaking.
5. Look what it started: "I had many letters from people who had found reading The Joy of Sex a liberating experience," says agony aunt Claire Rayner.
6. Today, sex - joyful or otherwise - is a very popular subject on the net.
7. Not something that Comfort would have appreciated: despite writing several more manuals, he denied being a sexologist, preferring instead to be known for his politics - anarchism - novels and poems.
8. As a physician and scientist, he studied sex, ageing and psychology. He also found time to write popular science and textbooks among his 50 published works.
9. Not bad for a man who had lost four fingers in an accident with a firecracker as a small child. (Maybe the reason why Comfort was something of an evangelist for the powers of the big toe.)

I loved the Aries/Sting match. Both men came off looking well in the match. Not sure if Aries will go over Sting, but if he doesn't that's how the match should be booked. Aries doesn't draw like Sting, but man…. he sure does put on a hell of a show.
Obviously the shoot is scripted, i mean come on Aries did a lot of bumps and sells for Sting. He made sting look really good. Remember Sting's clothesline flipping aries over? props to aries!
You do realize that the moves are fake, right? It's all a part of the show.
This is a work and obviously not a shoot, so yeah kudos to the title.
@jbcissom, i don't see what you're trying to point out but if you feel intelligent then good for you. Prepare to be mindblown but moves aren't fake. If you think 450 splash is fake, good for you.
i have been watching tna for a very short time but ey and aries were the reasons i started
Appreciate you sharing, great blog.Thanks Again. Cool.

Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 15 at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Ventura with the Rev. Dr. Brian Saunders and the Rev. Dr. Byron Northwick officiating.
Burial will be in the Ventura Cemetery.
Visitation will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. today (Tuesday) at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Ventura and will continue one hour prior to the services at the church.
Cataldo Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
The Carol Korth Memorial Fund has been established for those wishing to honor her memory.
Carol Jean Schulz, the daughter of Erwin and Gina (Thompson) Schulz, was born on Dec. 21, 1952, in Watertown, S.D. She grew up in Waubay, S.D., graduating from Waubay High School in 1971. She received her LPN degree from Lake Area Technical College in Watertown in 1972. Following graduation, she was employed by Bethesda Lutheran Home in Watertown, Wis., where she met her future husband, the Rev. Daird W. Korth. She also worked as a nurse at Shorehaven in Oconomowoc, Wis.
She was united in marriage to Rev. Korth on July 16, 1977, at St. Stephen's Lutheran Church in Watertown, Wis. Following their wedding, the couple moved to Fort Wayne, Ind., where she served as a nurse at Parnell Park Nursing Home. Carol spent one year with her husband in Algona where the Rev. Korth vicared at Trinity Lutheran Church and welcomed the birth of their first son, Nicholas in 1979. The couple moved to Ventura in 1981 to serve at Redeemer Lutheran Church and welcomed the birth of their second son, Christopher in 1983. Carol spent 32 years as a devoted pastor's wife and was involved in nearly every aspect of the church. She served as the assistant director and preschool teacher of Redeemer Daycare & Preschool for many years. She was the high school Bible class teacher, midweek school teacher, Women of Worship (WOW) member, LWML member and affectionately referred to as "Pastor Mom" by many who knew her. Carol was famous for her cooking and baking, which was enjoyed by many friends, family and guests who regularly stopped by.

Maik is an Assistant Keeper with the Live Exhibits Unit.
Live Exhibits recently acquired some Flinders Ranges Scorpions. They are not on display to the public but will be used for educational purposes.
The Flinders Ranges Scorpion (Urodacus elongatus) is one of Australia's largest scorpion species, with males growing up to 120mm long. Females are usually shorter and more full-bodied. The adults of both sexes are uniformly brown in colour.
These scorpions are found throughout the Flinders Ranges of South Australia. Sexual dimorphism is obvious in this species with males having a very elongated tail, which is where the species name elongatus comes from.

Being a temperate species, it can be found living under rocks and logs in the moist gully areas of the ranges. They are territorial and usually solitary. These scorpions build a scrape under rock, creating a shallow burrow. In order to maintain a stable microclimate, they seal off their burrows as temperatures rise.
Scorpions are negatively phototaxic (moving away from light) and they hunt for their prey at night. It is possible for scorpions to overpower prey that is larger than themselves, such as skinks or centipedes, however, they prefer food items roughly 50 per cent of their own body size. Females will also eat their own offspring if stressed or starved. Scorpions drink water droplets off rock surfaces and also obtain water via osmosis. During the cooler months of the year, the scorpions are less active and will generally feed less.
Urodacus elongatus feeding on a cricket.Image: Maik FiedelSource: Maik Fiedel
As part of courtship, an interesting 'mating dance' is performed. The male takes hold of the female and stings her claw, which has a calming effect. This is necessary because if she becomes aggressive she will attempt to kill the male. In order to mate successfully the scorpions need to be positioned on an even rock surface. The male looks for the correct surface, without breaking his hold of the female. When it is found he deposits his spermatophore onto the rock surface and he drags the female over the top for fertilisation. Once the female has received the sperm the male releases his hold and departs.

After about 18 months, the female gives birth to 20-50 live young which climb up onto the her back. They leave her back at two months of age, to go their own way. Flinders Ranges Scorpions reach maturity (adulthood) after four years and can easily live up to eight years.
Australia's scorpions are not considered dangerous to humans, however, scorpions are venomous. There is still a possibility that you may be allergic to their venom, like some people are allergic to a bee sting. You should never touch a scorpion with your bare hands.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Thank you for using Justanswer for your question.
Cellulitis is an infection in the skin and can be difficult to heal. Especially if the bacteria is a strain that is resistant to antibiotics.
Cellulitis can start from a large wound, or even a mosquito bite that gets infection and sometimes from a small wound that isn't even visible anymore.
Some things that well increase the likely hood of cellulitis is if circulation is poor to the area, if there is obesity, if there is diabetes (the sugar feeds the bacteria), and low immunity.
But I have seen cellulitis in healty young people, with none of these problems.
It is very important to keep this from getting into the bone, which is more likely to happen if the cellulitis is near a joint.
It is important to drink plenty of fluids, exercise as much as possible (unless advised differently) to help with circulation to the area. You may also apply warm soaks or soak in the bathtub or hottub, just remember to remove the heat source after 20 minutes so that there is no damage from over heating the skin. You must be very, very careful with the heat. You may not be as sensitive to heat if the infection is spread over a large area or you are on pain medications.
Here is an in depth article on cellulitis from Medicinenet. Click HERE
I believe this answers your question, but if not please feel free to ask more on the reply.
Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX wish you a speedy recovery,

Computer upgrades. Enormous data sets. New software. Ubiquitous networking at unprecedented speeds. Each year brings more-complex applications and more systems to interface. At UCAR, our division- and program-centered culture has produced a multitude of approaches to information technology (IT). Not all of them are compatible, though. How do we learn from each other and make sure our machines and programs can talk to each other?
How to make your voice heard
Key points from the IT Strategic Plan
Get up to speed on desktop issues with DSAC sessions
In September 1997 UCAR held a pivotal workshop, organized by UOP's Information Infrastructure Technology and Applications (IITA) program, to consider institution-wide issues surrounding present and anticipated advances in IT at UCAR. As a result, the Information Technology Council was formed and a strategic plan developed ( UCAR Information Technology Strategic Plan ; see highlights in the sidebar .) Below is an update on some of the topics addressed by the IT plan.
|Peter Fox. (Photos by Carlye Calvin.)
"UCAR is a pretty diverse organization with regard to IT. We developed the strategic plan to reflect that diversity as much as possible," says Peter Fox. Peter, chief computational scientist for HAO, led part of the 1997 workshop, which brought 120 staff together to discuss IT. Afterward, he and fellow members of the IT Council developed the IT Strategic Plan.
"There are a lot of things happening that reflect suggestions in the strategic plan, but it's going to take a while for some of those to become visible," says Peter. "One goal of the IT Council was to identify needs in high-visibility areas like e-mail, desktop systems, the Web, and a few others. People should be seeing changes in those things over the next few months."
For example, following a recent survey of UCAR's Web site users, the top-level pages of the site are now being redesigned in an effort headed by Susan Friberg (Corporate Affairs). The goal is to produce a more consistent look and feel and to make the site easier for users to navigate. Next will come "a very strong effort to coordinate and systematize the indexing and searching capabilities for the entire Web site, not just the [front pages]," says Peter.
The new site is expected to debut toward the end of this summer. According to Susan, "The redesign is just the first step to help the user find information more easily at UCAR, NCAR, and UOP. The survey told us that a good search engine is sorely needed, as well as a site map and more sophisticated and helpful data and software sites. There's a lot of work ahead to respond to user needs."
E-mail is another area where IT strategy will be making a difference. Until very recently, attachments to e-mail were handled inconsistently by different mail readers, even within the institution. Soon, according to Peter, "You're going to be able to exchange a wider variety of documents more transparently. This will happen largely through changes at the server level, but also by having e-mail clients conform to open standards rather than proprietary standards."
Open standards, such as the World Wide Web, reduce dependence on a single vendor and allow for more interoperability. IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) are two open standards for e-mail. Running behind the scenes on desktops or servers, these protocols facilitate the way e-mail is handled by a variety of clients.
Through all these efforts, the IT Council has refrained from dictating which hardware or software a division or program ought to use. Instead, it has encouraged groups to take IT factors into account when making upgrades or buying hardware. "Balancing autonomy and standardization" is one of the key themes that emerged from the IT workshop. This approach has gradually brought the institution more internal compatibility of systems without fomenting rebellion. For example, UCAR has maintained a basic level of support for Macintosh computers, and there has been no institutionally mandated phaseout of Macs, although some groups have chosen to replace their Macs with PCs when the time has come for new hardware.
"We don't have a lot of leeway with Bi-Tech without violating our maintenance and support agreements with the vendor," says Rebecca Oliva, head of F&A's IT office. "We're developing ways of collecting data that ultimately will interface with Bi-Tech. In essence, we're creating a 'wrapper' around Bi-Tech that embraces some of the newer technologies available to us."
One of the top priorities is putting time cards on line. Before the end of 1999, F&A hopes to have a Web-based interface allowing all staff to key in and their supervisors to authorize their biweekly hours on line. Further in the future are two projects of greater complexity: the creation of interactive, Web-based forms for purchase requisitions and for travel-related documents. To make sure they're on the right track with these projects, "we've been spending a lot of time talking to end users," Rebecca says.
|Left to right: Vance Howard, Rebecca Oliva, and Steve Hinson of F&A's IT office.
Rebecca's group has hired two new developers, Kristian Woyna (brought on board only last month) and Vance Howard. Vance, who joined the group last fall, is using Sapphire/Web from Bluestone Software to create Java applications that enable Bi-Tech to interface with the Web.
The new cluster of software engineers emerging in F&A is an example of something strongly recommended by the IT Council: the formation of new engineering groups to create essential services needed by the whole institution. In a related effort, the UCAR-wide Desktop Systems Advisory Committee has increased the visibility of desktop services that span the institution.
According to Peter, "The DSAC was doing some really good, groundbreaking work, finding some new technologies to solve problems such as e-mail and calendars, but they had no one to implement [their findings]. The IT Council recommended that not only should we have advisory groups, but we should have engineering groups that would actually go and do the work." Funding for a DSAC-oriented engineering group failed to go through for fiscal year 2000 but will be considered for FY 01. Meanwhile, the DSAC is proceeding with analyses of desktop-computing issues and seeking staff input (see sidebar).
In collaboration with the University of Rhode Island and other partners, Peter is working on DODS, an initiative well matched to UCAR's IT strategy. The Distributed Oceanographic Data System will allow for small pieces of giant data sets to be accessed through the Web with maximum efficiency. "Instead of FTP-ing a 2- or 3-gigabyte data set and then using only 10 or 20 megabytes, it will be possible to extract that 10 or 20 MB directly over the network," says Peter. Through DODS, network-savvy versions of common data analysis packages such as Ferret and MatLab are being created. Users will then be able to bring data from a server through the Web and directly into the analysis package, regardless of the data format on the server end.
DODS is funded by NASA, with additional support from NOAA and NSF. It is one of 24 initiatives beneath a NASA umbrella called the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP). The group was formed as a way to diversify strategies for processing data from the Earth Observing System. NASA's array of EOS satellites will be launched beginning later this year, with the number of launches accelerating over the next few years.
A number of universities and laboratories are working on portions of DODS. At UCAR, Unidata is developing user support services, while HAO is working on filters for its solar physics data set formats. Lawrence Buja (CGD) has put some of the most frequently sought output from the division's climate system model onto a DODS-friendly Web server. As for SCD, although DODS does not yet support all of the data formats in SCD's archives, the division plans to eventually use DODS to provide interactive access to many of its most popular data sets.
Richard Chinman is project manager for the DODS/ESIP effort. More information on DODS is available at DODS Distributed Oceanographic Data System .

Unidata is among the groups exploring the leading edge of UCAR's IT strategy: object-oriented (O-O) software design. Although the benefits of O-O software are already evident in spreadsheets and modern graphical user interfaces, we're only beginning to learn how much O-O can do for us in the scientific and business arenas, according to Unidata director Dave Fulker. "If you look at the best designs for modern software, they almost all employ O-O principles," says Dave.
How does O-O work? "Object orientation is jargon," admits Dave. "It's hard to come up with a really clean explanation." He gives it a shot anyway: "An object is like a little virtual computer. The way you interact with objects is by sending messages to them." Instead of data being static and completely distinct from software, data elements and code elements are integrated into organic software components called "objects." The emphasis in O-O design is on the behavior of these objects as they respond to messages, change their internal states, and issue new messages.
For instance, a satellite image is typically stored in a computer as a two-dimensional array of numerical values. To display the satellite image on a monitor, these values are translated into points of varying brightness. Additional information, known as metadata, specifies the size of the array and how its numerical values relate to brightness and color. To overlay a geographic map on the satellite image, you need metadata that provides the latitude and longitude of each point in the image. These metadata change continuously and depend on the satellite's orbit. Metadata may be stored with the image or elsewhere.
In O-O design, the satellite image is stored as an object that contains its numerical values, its metadata, and software procedures known as methods. Together, these allow the image to
"I like to think of the objects as people," says Unidata programmer Steve Emmerson. "You can imagine all these objects being connected in a network and exchanging messages back and forth." Steve and fellow programmers John Caron and Don Murray are exploring Java-based O-O techniques for displaying weather and climate data in three dimensions. Their work will help serve the display and analysis needs of Unidata's 150 member universities.
Steve has already created an interactive version of the standard thermodynamic sounding. In it, you can move around a virtual column of winds plotted in three dimensions rather than the usual stack of 2-D wind vectors. Is this part of the future of weather visualization? One might say that's the object. BH

I've spent about the last year working on a game to help me learn Python 3. It is FINALLY COMPLETE!!!! 8D
Although it didn't give me reason to learn any web based stuff (I'll learn that stuff later on), I'd like to continue my progress in another area: Graphical Interfaces, to help my game look even better, and to learn more programming of course.
So what I'm getting at is: What would you guys suggest I pick up to learn that will do my simple stuff but also be useful for more advanced things down the road. I'd like my learning to have as much carryover into other future projects as possible. If possible I'd like to learn on something that will let me write mobile apps as well, but that isn't mandatory of course. I'm willing to learn that later on in something else if need be.
I've dabble in tkinter the last few days, have looked at pygame, and am reading up on pyglet right now. Pros and Cons for those and others?
All advice is appreciated,

Pauley Pavilion is the site of BYU's worst outing this season. This weekend, the Cougars men's volleyball team will try and shake those memories.
Ranked No. 1 in the country heading into Thursday's NCAA semifinals, BYU has lost just four matches all year. Only once were the Cougars dispatched in three sets - on April 8, when UCLA won handedly on its home court.
But Chris McGown's team could soon wash itself of that blemish. Two wins in Los Angeles, and BYU will have its first national championship since 2004.
The Cougars have won three rings, breaking through in 1999, but a fourth would be their first since McGown took over in June 2011. The squad must get past Penn State in an 8 p.m. semifinal matchup to clinch a spot in Saturday's 6 p.m. title game.
The Nittany Lions have only dropped one set in the past month, and are in the final four for the 25 th straight year. Still, the Cougars are the presumptive favorites, ranking first in the country in hitting percentage (.328) and second in blocks per set (2.95).
"I've had my share of nightmares regarding BYU recently," coach Mark Pavlik told NCAA.com.
The team that could potentially have a home-court advantage is UC Irvine, aiming to be the first repeat national champion since UCLA in 1996. The Anteaters, ranked No. 3 in the country, are in their first season without coach John Speraw - who returned to his alma mater after winning three of the past six NCAA titles.
David Kniffin took the UCI helm, rising from assistant and ensuring that the program didn't miss a beat. The Anteaters face Loyola-Chicago in the opposite bracket at 6 p.m.

Wild About Hardini?
Also note the "Direct from Hollywood - Paramount Pictures" and "Company of Entertainers from Movie Land." What's that all about? I'm also curious about what might be underneath the Hardini name as that is clearly a paste over.
But the real mystery is the man himself. Who was Hardini?
A quick search of Ask Alexander reveals a Hardini from Sweden whose first name is, you guessed it, Harry! But I've also found a few other Hardinis. Jim Sallias, aka Hardini, is active in the 1950s, which puts him in the right frame for this poster. And then there's Cliff Harden, aka Hardini, who is still active today. I've also discovered a "well known" escape artist in the 1930s going by the name Hardini.
The poster is being auctioned on eBay by Potter & Potter. So far it has received no bids.
UPDATE: Looks like Hardini found some love with a last minute bid.
7 comments:
There was also a George H. Hubler in the 1930s who then sold the Hardini title to Clarence Pfeffer http://geniimagazine.com/magicpedia/HardiniReplyDelete
Oh, was Hubler the escape artist in the 30s I found then? Missed Clarence Pfeffer. You know, I didn't even think to check MagicPedia.ReplyDelete
Not sure. He was just one of the many I found when researching http://geniimagazine.com/magicpedia/Houdini_imitatorsReplyDelete
- Dan RobinsonDecember 21, 2011 at 7:25 AM
Last Minute bid was from me. I couldn't resist at that price, even though shipping to the UK will put it up. I will let you know if I can see anything under the Hardini name, but I suspect it will be blank. If anyone finds anything else out about Hardini, I would love to hear about it.ReplyDeleteReplies

Reseeaarching our town's historic vaueville / silent movie house and came uppon an article about Harry Hardini performing there. He seemed very sweet in the interview. He WISHED he had grown up in our orphans' home! He was AMAZED at the quality of our jail! :)Delete
Cool. Congrats on getting it, Dan. Yes, very reasonable price.ReplyDelete
Speaking of the fusion of names, Hardeen is already a fusion, of HARry HouDINi.ReplyDelete

CHARLOTTE - March 10, 2014 - We are in the middle of the greatest age of exploration that the world has ever known, and two prominent witnesses and chroniclers of that adventure will soon be in Charlotte to talk about what they have seen.
What has been happening is not the mere discovery of new continents, but the exploration of vast new worlds in and around us – the astounding new views of life emerging from genomics and molecular biology, the surprising emerging picture of a huge and complex microbial world – and then, moving way beyond us, also the exploration of the universe itself.
We are at what may be the high point of the age of scientific exploration, and two well-known science writers -- Carl Zimmer, a science journalist who has covered the biggest stories of modern bioscience, and science historian Amy Shira Teitel, a science journalist and blogger on space travel -- have had front row seats to some of humankind's biggest discoveries. Both will share the excitement of what they have seen and what they know when they visit as part of the UNC Charlotte NC Science Festival Guest Lecture Series.
Acclaimed science book author, Weekly NY Times science columnist and writer of the popular "The Loom" blog for National Geographic, Carl Zimmer will be part of a free panel discussion on Friday, March 28 at 3 p.m. in EPIC Building G256 on the UNC Charlotte campus. Titled "What's Coming in Genomics?" The panel will also include noted genomics researchers Anthony Fodor, Dennis Livesay and Jessica Schlueter, all from UNC Charlotte's Department of Bioinformatics. At 8 p.m. that evening at the UNC Charlotte Center City Auditorium, Zimmer will conclude his visit with a free public lecture entitled "You Are Thousands of Species: Discovering the Life Within You." The lecture is co-sponsored by the North Carolina Science Festival, which has designated it as one of the festival's "Signature Events." A public reception and book-signing will follow.
Zimmer is, in the words of The New York Times Book Review, "as fine a science essayist as we have," and few write as eloquently and knowledgeably about contemporary biology. He won the National Academies Communication Award, which praised him "for his diverse and consistently interesting coverage of evolution and unexpected biology." He is also a two-time winner of the American Association for the Advancement of Science Journalism Award. Zimmer writes regularly for National Geographic, The New York Times, where he writes the "Matter" column, and other major publications. He has written ten widely praised science books. In all of his work, Zimmer explores the latest advances in biology, from newly discovered fossils shedding light on our origins to the latest advances in biotechnology and medicine. Hailed for his lyrical engaging prose (and admired by scientists for his accuracy and authority), Zimmer offers his readers startling new insights into our place in the natural world.
Zimmer has earned numerous awards and fellowships for his work, and he is a frequent guest on radio shows such as "Radiolab," "Fresh Air," and "This American Life." His books include Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea, called "as fine a book as one will find on the subject" by Scientific American. His 2004 book Soul Made Flesh, a fascinating history of the brain, was named one of the top 100 books of the year by The New York Times Book Review, and dubbed a "tour-de-force" by The Sunday Telegraph. His other books include At the Water's Edge and Parasite Rex, which the Los Angeles Times hailed as "a book capable of changing how we see the world." His 2008 book, Microcosm: E. coli and the New Science of Life, was hailed as "quietly revolutionary" by The Boston Globe and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Book Prize. Zimmer is also the author of a ground-breaking textbook about evolution, The Tangled Bank, which Edward O. Wilson praised "the best written and best illustrated introduction to evolution of the Darwin centennial decade, and also the most conversant with ongoing research."
Science historian and web journalist Amy Shira Teitel has been interested in spaceflight since an early age and has learned a copious amount of its back story, which she writes about in her blog "Vintage Space," hosted by Popular Science. On April 2 at 7 p.m. in EPIC G256, she will give a free public lecture entitled, "How NASA Designed its Moon Mission," detailing the unexpected history of what many consider to be humanity's greatest accomplishment to date.
Teitel explains that there is a lot missing in the popular account: "We're all familiar with the Apollo lunar mission profile. The Saturn V rocket launched the spacecraft to the Moon where, once in orbit, only the small lunar module landed on the surface. Throughout the return trip, pieces of the spacecraft were discarded once they were no longer needed until only the gumdrop-shaped command module was left to fall through the atmosphere. But why? Apollo missions didn't start out following this profile at all. This talk will go through just how NASA ended up with the lunar mission we know and love today, and all the strange and sometimes crazy ideas the agency abandoned along the way. "
Teitel is a widely published writer on the history of space travel and on space science. In addition to "Vintage Space," she currently writes for Discovery News, Al Jazeera English, Motherboard, DVICE, Scientific American Videos, and Physics Focus and has written for Universe Today and AmericaSpace.
In addition to the Guest Lecture Series, UNC Charlotte is sponsoring a host of public events for the NC Science Festival (March 28-April 13), including a Faculty Lecture Series (four events), a Science Film Series (four events), a Star Party, and the UNC Charlotte Science and Technology Expo, a large exhibition of science and technology from UNC Charlotte and the greater Charlotte community on April 13 at the Union Mall on the UNC Charlotte campus.
All events are free and open to the public.
For event locations, maps and more information, see http://ncsciencefestival.uncc.edu or call 704-687-5743. All events are sponsored by UNC Charlotte in association with the NC Science Festival. University sponsors include UNC Charlotte Research and Economic Development, the College of Computing and Informatics, the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, the College of Education, the College of Health and Human Services and the Graduate School. Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools and Discovery Place are community partners and WFAE 90.7 fm is a media partner.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger apologized for his actions that led to a six-game suspension in a written statement on Monday.
Roethlisberger, disciplined by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell last week for violating the league's personal-conduct policy, said he will not appeal the suspension and vowed to make changes in his life.
His statement:
"The commissioner's decision to suspend me speaks clearly that more is expected of me. I am accountable for the consequences of my actions. Though I have committed no crime, I regret that I have fallen short of the values instilled in me by my family. I will not appeal the suspension and will comply with what is asked of me -- and more.
"Missing games will be devastating for me. I am sorry to let down my teammates and the entire Steelers fan base. I am disappointed that I have reached this point and will not put myself in this situation again.
"I appreciate the opportunities that I have been given in my life and will make the necessary improvements."
Goodell ordered Roethlisberger into behavioral counseling in the ruling and banned him from participating in offseason activities. The commissioner could reduce the suspension to four games if he's satisfied with Roethlisberger's progress, but also said he could lengthen the ban if the QB does not adhere to the terms of the discipline.
A 20-year-old woman in Georgia signed a sexual assault complaint against Roethlisberger on March 5. The local DA declined to prosecute him, saying there was insufficient evidence to support a conviction.
Last week the Steelers refused to rule out a possible trade of the two-time Super Bowl winning QB, but no deal emerged on draft weekend. The team then said it was committed to helping Roethlisberger change himself and get a new start on Saturday. -- Sean Leahy

When i purchased the car, I had a full maintenance done at Mercedes Benz.(I know but have a connection and purchased the car there). The car was a weekend driver from an older gentleman and has 27k MI. Their is zero maintenance issues and all fluids were replaced. Tires are good. Its amazing how well this guy maintained his car. As a bimmer enthusiast, I can respect the love someone has for their car but it seems like this car was never driven out of the driveway. I have some time before i will be able to drive it due to me waiting for the vehicle to ship from my home to my military duty station. I plan on driving stock for a short period of time but wanted to see everybody's input when i do decide to do certain modifications. Thank you everybody for the input, I am getting alot of good advice.

All-Star second baseman Dustin Pedroia signed an eight-year contract extension with the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, all but ensuring he will fulfill a dream of spending his entire career with the Major League Baseball team.
Though financial details were not disclosed, the deal is estimated to be worth $110 million, beginning in 2014 and continuing through the 2021 season.
A four-time All-Star who won a World Series with Boston in 2007, the 29-year-old Pedroia is hitting .306 this season with 25 doubles, six home runs and 58 RBIs in 101 games.
"Dustin's numbers are great, but they don't tell you how committed he is to winning," Red Sox manager John Farrell said in a statement.
"Watch him every day, on the field and in the clubhouse, and you see exceptional skill and passion. His teammates will tell you: he's a winner, a winner who loves the Red Sox and a winner who loves Boston."
Scouted, drafted and signed by the Red Sox, Pedroia is one of only eight players to have won a World Series along with rookie of the year and most valuable player honors, and also Gold Glove awards.
He is bracketed with Willie Mays, Frank Robinson, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Thurman Munson, Cal Ripken junior and Albert Pujols in illustrious company.
However, Pedroia is most excited about the prospect of ending his playing days in Boston.
"This is my home." he told reporters earlier this week. "I love being here, I love my teammates, I love this city. That's really important. The Red Sox drafted me. A lot of teams passed on me because of my size and stuff like that.
"That's why I want to make sure I work as hard as I can to make sure that they made the right choice in drafting me and me being here my whole career."
Pedroia was the American League (AL) rookie of the year in 2007 before being named the AL's MVP the following season. He won Gold Glove awards in 2008 and 2011 and earned his fourth All-Star appearance last week.
