JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - An organization gave parents and students a chance to weigh in on the new budget for next school year in Duval County. The district is preparing to approve it later this summer.
Duval County parents got a chance to hear from the school superintendent, Dr. Nikolai Vitti, Thursday night at a workshop, about how he plans to spend money on their students for the upcoming year.
Vitti met with parents at the budget workshop at the Times-Union Center Thursday night. Dr. Vitti and school board members presented their spending to parents. In total, the budget will be about $1.7 billion.
At the Jacksonville Public Education Fund, engaging the community in school matters is the ultimate goal.
Vitti said the majority of the money will go to salaries and services. The superintendent told Channel 4 Thursday night that many cuts made in the past are now a thing of the past.
"Successful schools comes from a partnership between the school districts, superintendent, staff school board and the community, and if either one of those sides isn't doing what they need to be doing, the whole thing falls apart," said JPEF President, Trey Csar.
Having community advocates for our district's budget is the focus, since this year's budget will be approved in the coming months.
Csar said a big change in funding this year has to do with school staffing positions.
"Well, I think what you'll see in this budget more than any other budget in the past is a focus on developing the whole child," said Vitti. "It's putting a music and art teacher in every elementary school. It's restoring magnet transportation, it's reducing bus transportation for students so that they don't have to walk as far as they once did. It's expanding elective classes for our students. So at the end of the day, not only is the education as far as reading, math, science and writing enhanced, but our electives and the development of the whole child."
The superintendent said the workshop Thursday night gave him the chance to explain the district's decision-making process for the 2013-14 budget, and more importantly, gives the people it affects a chance to be a part of that.
The school board and superintendent have been working together to create the budget for the past three months. It must be approved by the end of this month.
"Having community advocates be informed about what's going on and be prepared and ready and willing to voice their opinions is what makes the process move forward," Csar said.

Did you know?
The Drakensberg is the highest African mountain range south of Kilimanjaro.
South Africa may be known for its warm climate, but the country also offers some icier adventures, like ice climbing. While it is considered an unusual sport in sunny South Africa, the demand for ice climbing as a sport, from both locals and visitors, is on the increase.
Among the best spots for ice climbing is the southern Drakensberg, which has several routes ranging in difficulty from a fairly simple but slippery walk to advanced climbs that will challenge even the most experienced ice climbers.
Three of the most popular routes in the Drakensberg offer a range of conditions and technical demands. The Sani Pass is the most accessible of the routes and the one most suitable for beginners, with short easy climbs on trails that are semi-protected from the elements.
At Giant's Castle there are practice areas for beginners, but this area is generally for the more experienced climber, boasting some of the longest and best ice climbs available in the country. A big attraction is the presence of several major icefalls that remain virgin territory for now. This area is only for the dedicated and experienced adventurer, as getting to the routes takes a few days and demands peak physical fitness.
Rhino Peak is more accessible than Giant's Castle, though not always as popular. Routes are suitable for both beginners and experienced climbers.
If you are serious about climbing of any kind, particularly something as specialised as ice climbing, it is recommended that you join up with a local chapter of the Mountain Club of South Africa. They will be able to put you in touch with the best local professionals, and give you expert advice and support.

Cell: +27 (0)82 990 5876
How to get here
The Drakensberg is generally easily accessible by road, though some of the more remote regions will require a 4x4. The closest city with an international airport is Durban, about three hours drive. From Johannesburg it's about a six-hour drive.
Best time to visit
Ice climbing in South Africa is a seasonal activity. Prime ice climbing time in the Drakensberg is from late May until mid-August.
Around the area
Neighbouring Lesotho also boasts some great ice climbing sites in the Bokong area of the central Maluti Mountains and the Oxbow region in the northern Maluti Mountains.
Tours to do
Peak High Mountaineering in the southern Drakensberg offers courses on all of the Drakensberg routes for those interested in ice climbing. They can also organise tours for more experienced climbers.
Get around
Self-drive is best (you may need a 4x4, depending on where you are going) though many tour operators can organise trips to the ice climbing routes for you.
What to pack
An instructor or climbing guide will always give you a comprehensive kit list. Much of the specialist equipment required can be hired. Be prepared with lots of warm clothing, a decent tent and a winter sleeping bag.
Where to stay
There are numerous lodges and B&Bs scattered throughout the region. Camping is also an option.

Workers at the collapsed company Gourmet Food Holdings, which produces Rosella tomato sauce, may be able to keep their jobs after receivers expressed more confidence that the business would be sold and the 100-year-old brand would continue.
Ferrier Hodgson, receivers of the company that went into voluntary administration last week, said they had received close to 100 expressions of interest from potential buyers considering purchasing all or part of the business.
"If we continue to receive this valuable support from customers, suppliers and transport operators, the business should be able to continue operating and employees will keep their jobs," partner Jim Sarantinos said.
"Given the level of interest in the business amongst potential buyers, I have an increasing degree of confidence that the group has a future."
Mr Sarantinos said all employee entitlements were likely to be paid in full regardless of whether the business was sold, but a sale was "key to the long-term future of the business".
Ferrier Hodgson partners Steve Sherman, Mr Sarantinos and John Lindholm were appointed receivers of Gourmet Food Holdings on Monday.
The group also incorporates New Zealand organic foods group Pitango and Victorian-based biscuit group Waterwheel.
The Rosella factory in Seven Hills, NSW employs 110 staff, 47 of whom are contractors. Waterwheel, in Dandenong, Victoria has 140 staff, 69 of whom are contractors.

As the Senate prepares to vote on the financial regulation bill, Ben Bernanke, Fed chairman, Mary Schapiro, SEC chairman and Timothy Geithner, Treasury Secretary, appeared before the House Financial Services Committee to dissect what went wrong with Lehman.
Lots went wrong, of course, but the regulators (Mr Geithner was head of the NY Fed, at the time of the Lehman bankruptcy) shed little fresh light on their response (or lack there of) to Lehman's 'bad behaviour'. The Fed said it had no authority to regulate. The SEC, according to Ms Schapiro, didn't have the 'staff', 'resources' or 'mindset' to be a prudential regulator. Lehman repeatedly failed stress tests, even those that did not exclude real estate, and the market was left blissfully unaware of the impending catastrophe. Read more

Wusthof Serrated Bread Knife
Everything in the kitchen is easier with good, sharp knives. I depend on three Wusthof blades: a serrated bread knife, a paring knife, and a 10-inch chef´s knife. The serrated knife is good for bread, tomatoes, and shaving big bricks of chocolate into meltable shards. The other two do everything else for me.

Right-Wing Media Declare Victory As Court Blocks Clean Air Rule
Blog ››› ››› MAX GREENBERG
This week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit struck down an EPA rule intended to curb power plant emissions carrying pollutants like sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) downwind across state lines on the basis that it overstepped the EPA's statutory authority under the Clean Air Act. Although the court made clear that its decision was not a comment on the "policy merits" of the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), which was put in place to address public health concerns, the right-wing media immediately mobilized to proclaim it "a major blow" against environmental regulations and what they claim is the Obama administration's "war on coal."
The right-wing reaction to the decision was just the latest chapter in a years-long campaign by conservative media to sow fear about the economic impact of EPA pollution controls while downplaying or denying their health benefits. A Wall Street Journal editorial claimed the "flawed rule" is part of the EPA's "regulatory war" on coal plants, and The Washington Examiner's Conn Carroll called it "just one of many costly regulations currently in the pipeline."
RedState blogger Daniel Horowitz called the decision "a big victory" while Fox Nation ran a story from The Hill under the headline "Obama EPA Whacked Upside Its Head."
Horowitz also claimed the rule was part of "Obama's inexorable war on American energy [and] consumers." In a similar vein, a Washington Times editorial called the CSAPR "one of the EPA's most insidious schemes to shut down affordable power generation," and referred to "an all-out war on affordable energy."
But the conservative media have grossly exaggerated the effect of the CSAPR on consumers. According to the EPA, its "effect on prices for specific regions or states may vary, [but] they are well within the range of normal electricity price fluctuations." A Government Accountability Office analysis of the EPA's data estimated a national average retail electricity price increase of just 0.8% as a result of CSAPR. And a report by Resources For The Future found that neither CSAPR or the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) would "create the shock to the electricity system that some worry would lead to reliability problems."
Conservative media reports on the decision also minimized or ignored the CSAPR's stated intent -- to prevent tens of thousands of premature deaths and illnesses -- and even falsely implied that the court's decision undermined the basis for regulating pollution itself. The EPA estimated that the rule would help avoid between 13,000 and 34,000 premature deaths per year and bear "$120 to $280 billion in annual health and welfare benefits in 2014, which far outweigh the estimated annual costs of CSAPR of $800 million in 2014, along with the roughly $1.6 billion per year in capital investments already under way as a result of CAIR."
An analysis from Columbia University and the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies expanded on those numbers and found that CSAPR and a suite of five other EPA pollution-reduction measures would yield "economic, environmental and health benefits [that] amount to well over $1 trillion." But the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Examiner didn't mention the intended health benefits of the rule, with the Journal saying only that the rule would cause states to "fail federal air quality tests."
CSAPR was set to replace the Bush-era Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), which was found to have "more than several fatal flaws" in a 2008 decision by the same D.C. Circuit court. CAIR will remain in effect until the EPA decides whether or not to appeal the ruling, which was sharply criticized in an "unusually blistering dissent" from Judge Judith Rogers.

This article is about the old Cadbury Schweppes company. In 2008, Cadbury Schweppes spun off its beverage division into Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (DPS), and kept confectionery under the Cadbury plc (CBY) name. As such, this article contains outdated information and should be used only as a historical reference.
Cadbury Schweppes PLC (CSG) is a leading global company in the confectionery and beverage market. In the confectionery segment, the company markets a variety of chocolates, sugar confectionery and gum under the brand names of Cadbury, Trident, Halls, Dentyne, Hollywood, Bubbaloo, Stimorol, Trebor, Wedel, Basset's and Maynards. In the beverage segment, Cadbury manufactures, as well as licenses, concentrates and syrups to independently owned bottlers and canners. Major brands include: Schweppes, Dr Pepper, 7 UP, Snapple, Hawaiian Punch, Mott s, Orangina, Oasis, Clamato, Canada Dry, A&W, Sunkist, Yoo-Hoo and La Casera. Cadbury Schweppes is based in London, United Kingdom and reports financial statements in British Pounds Sterling and in conformity with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Cadbury Schweppes reports financial results semi-annually (in late February and early August) rather than quarterly.
The company's current structure reflects management's actions over the last five years. In February 2003, management implemented a major reorganization, which consolidated the nine regional operating units into five: Americas Beverages, Americas Confectionery, Europe, Middle East, and Africa Confectionery, European Beverages, and Asia Pacific. In 2006, the company divested the European Beverage business and operated under four regional operating units: Americas Beverages (35% of revenues and 47% of operating profits in 2006) Americas Confectionery (18% and 17%) Europe, Middle East, and Africa Confectionery (31% and 23%) and Asia Pacific (16% and 13%). The Americas Beverages business (recently renamed Dr. Pepper Snapple Group) is slated for de-merger in 2008 through a spin-off to shareholders. Management's goal is to leverage the company's scale and advantaged positions in confectionery by concentrating on top markets, brands, and customers and by driving cost and efficiency gains to increase margins.
The acquisition of Adams Confectionery for $4.2 billion from Pfizer on March 30, 2003 was a major strategic move. The purchase significantly expanded Cadbury's geographic reach and catapulted the company into the number one position in the worldwide confectionery market. Cadbury Schweppes is leveraging the combined operations and routes-to-market in order to drive down costs. In North America, the company integrated its systems with Adams. In addition, the Adams integration projects have been successful with the installation of SAP in Brazil and the consolidation of back-offices across the Latin America among other projects. It should be noted that in 2003, the acquisition of Adams resulted in management rescinding its performance goal of at least 10% earnings per share growth annually due to the dilution of the acquisition.
On June 19, 2007, management announced the Board's decision to divest the company's Americas Beverages business, leaving Cadbury almost entirely a confectionery company with minimal beverage operations in Australia. Following the divestiture, the company will be renamed Cadbury PLC (from Cadbury Schweppes), and will have operations mainly in three categories (chocolates, gums, and candies). The company operates in four regions: Americas Confectionery (27% of revenues in 2006), Britain, Ireland, Middle East, and Africa (BIMA, 31%), Asia/Pacific (25%), and Europe (17%). In light of the higher growth prospects of the stand-alone confectionery business, management has set new financial goals for the period between 2008 and 2011: revenue growth in the range of 4% to 6% (up from the earlier estimated range of 3% to 5%), and an operating margin in the mid-teens.
In January 2008, Cadbury announced that the firm would invest money in coca farming areas in Africa and Asia. These areas, which are among the largest producers of cocoa in the world, and thus the biggest suppliers, are currently experiencing a decline in the amount of farming. The cocoa supply may be diminishing in the future without intervention which Cadbury is currently proposing. Cadbury will give money to help farmers and their families to sustain their cocoa cultivation in areas where they are currently experiencing a decline. This will help produce goodwill and sustained supply when no other competitor is following a similar path. Input costs will be lower for Cadbury than its competitors in the future and this will result in better earnings potential for the firm.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Roger 'The Rocket' Clemens honored the family of a victim of a shooting that captured headlines not long ago.
The baseball great went to College Station to honor Brazos County Constable Brian Bachmann's family. Bachmann and two others were killed as he was serving an eviction notice last August. His death left his wife without her husband and two children without their dad.
"I lost my dad at a young age. My dad died of a heart attack when I was 9. I was raised by strong women," said Clemens.
Clemens told KPRC Local 2 that he talked with Bachmann's son.
"I said, 'Do you play ball?' He says, 'Well, I did. But now I'm umpiring. I'm an umpire. I'm going to umpire school and I'm doing some umpiring.' I got a big smile on my face with that one. So, I told him that once the Astros get underway this year and they can make it, come on down, we'll get us some Astro tickets and I guess I'll go to the umpire's room and get him some gear or something."
Clemens said he was honored that Harris County Precinct Four's Constable invited him to meet with the family.
"This is going to be their first Christmas without their father. So, it all worked out. It's what we do with our foundation."

FOR 12-year-old Oliver Crompton, you simply cannot put a price on an Olympic dream.
The St James' High School pupil travels a whopping 600 miles every week so he can become a world-class diver.
And Olympic bronze medallist Tom Daley had better watch out as the youngster, who only took up the sport three years ago, has already been making waves.
His proud parents, Peter and Lisa Crompton, of Kingsland Road, Farnworth, admit the £250 of petrol each month to get Oliver to the Elite centre in Leeds — because there is a lack of top-class facilities in Bolton — along with the £55 club fees, 16 hours of training and 12 hours of travelling time, are a major commitment by the whole family.
Mr Crompton, aged 41, said: "The financial cost of this 100-mile trip six times a week, along with the club fees and competition costs, are proving to be very difficult in the current financial climate.
"However, we and his coach can see Oliver's very real potential and have made every effort to support him."
Dedicated Oliver also travels to three or four competitions each year across the UK, including trips to Sheffield, Plymouth, Southampton, Luton and Edinburgh.
Each competition lasts for up to four days and the entry fees, combined with accommodation and travelling costs can total more than £400 for each event.
Mr Crompton said: "In the run-up to the events, Oliver frequently trains over whole weekends and other consecutive days, as school holidays allow.
"It is more productive for Oliver to be well-rested, which means hotel accommodation has proved invaluable, and that adds further to the financial cost."
Oliver's commitment has already paid off as he has competed at national level in Southampton.
Recently, in Luton, he was second out of 12 in the 5m board, fourth out of 15 on the 3m board and third on the 1m board.
Now the family is calling for businesses to get behind one of the next generations of Olympians to compete at the highest level.
Mr Crompton said: "Because of the financial burden of the economic downturn, Oliver's ability to continue this essentially high level of training is under strain.
"We have already received some funding from Serco, the Bolton Provincial/Walsh Trust as well as support from Kevin Davies' charity KiDs of Bolton which helps with the club fees. We do need support with the travelling and fuel costs, and any sponsorship offers would be apprec-iated."
"It would allow a 'rising star' in the sport to continue to training at a world class facility".
The family has also praised teachers at St James' High School for their role in nurturing the talented diver.
- Anyone who can offer support or sponsorship to the family can contact Robert Kelly on the sports desk at The Bolton News on 01204 537246 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Recently, Oakland Zoo welcomed a new member to its Education Staff. Katie Desmond is the new Creek and Garden Programs Manager. Raised in Sebastopol (Sonoma County) Katie earned her BS in Biology and Animal Physiology at Sonoma State University. Later she worked at nature preserves where she led workshops for kids. In 2010 she arrived here at Oakland Zoo, where she worked as an intern, helping with the Western Pond Turtle Project. Following a three-year stint at Safari West near Santa Rosa, Katie returned to the Zoo as a full time employee in the Education Department.
As part of her new position here, Katie oversees the restoration and upkeep of the Zoo's Arroyo Viejo Creek which runs through Knowland Park on its way from the Oakland hills to the bay. She will also be helping to establish a series of themed gardens in the Education Center courtyard. Seven in all, these will include a native California wild edibles garden; a waterscape with marshy habitat for aquatic plants; a xeriscaped drought-resistant sun garden; and several others with different types of soil, utilizing urban composting. The Zoo's horticultural staff will help with the big job of designing and planting. Katie will eventually be developing a curriculum to go with each of these gardens, so they can serve as "living laboratories." At a later time when the gardens are established, school kids will become involved, learning about the different types of plant communities when they visit the Zoo.
As the coordinator of the creek program, Katie will also be facilitating the intrepid Creek Crew, an ever-changing group of various outside volunteers that meet here every 3rd Saturday of the month. She'll be helping them with their ongoing goal to restore the creek to its former natural, healthy state.
In her spare time, Katie enjoys reading, gardening, hiking and snowboarding. Asked why she's here at Oakland Zoo, Katie says she wants to help educate people about the environment we live in. So let's all welcome Katie to her new position here, and we look forward to her enthusiastic involvement with Arroyo Viejo Creek!

Conjugate lateral eye movements are the coordinated movements of the eye laterally from side to side as opposed to the vertical movements of up and down. The lateral gaze is controlled by the paramedian pontine reticular formation (PPRF).[1]
Conjugate gazeEdit
The conjugate gaze is the motion of both eyes in the same direction at the same time, and conjugate gaze palsy refers to an impairment of this function. The conjugate gaze is controlled by four different mechanisms:[2]
- the saccadic system that allows for voluntary direction of the gaze
- the pursuit system that allows the subject to follow a moving object
- the optokinetic system that restores gaze despite movements of the outside world
- the vestibulo-ocular reflex system (VOR system) that corrects for the movements of the head to preserve the stable visual image of the world

The Lineup Card
Nine of the Worst Baseball Clichés
1. It's a Marathon, Not a Sprint
2. The Improper Use of "Patient" and "Disciplined" to Describe Hitters
The point of plate discipline is not letting pitches go by for the sake of letting them go by. It's recognizing what you are capable of and then figuring out whether a particular pitch is worth swinging at. If you recognize the first pitch in an at-bat as one that you can deposit in left field for a single, then by all means, swing. Walks and high pitch counts (while they have their benefits) are not necessarily signs that you are a patient or disciplined hitter. It might simply mean that you are a passive hitter. It might also mean that pitchers don't want to really challenge you because you might hit the ball a long way. On the flip side, if a hitter is capable of reaching a lot of pitches (a la Vladimir Guerrero about 10 years ago) and getting hits on them, then that's disciplined as well. The point of the exercise is not to walk in every plate appearance. It's to do something productive with your at-bat. And while we might all worship at the altar of "drive up the pitch count," if you can score 10 runs and the pitcher only throws 60 pitches, you'll still be okay. —Russell A. Carleton

Last I checked, everyone who comes up to bat in a major-league or minor-league game is there because it is their occupation, not out of the goodness of their own heart. There has to be a better term for this that we can all start using for guys like Paul Konerko, Michael Young and the like. We can't just call them veteran hitters, as that's just "a person who is long-experienced or practiced in an activity or capacity," and it has no direct ties to performance. I mean, Yuniesky Betancourt is a veteran for crying out loud. We can't call them good hitters, as while there may be a decent amount of overlap in that Venn diagram, it's certainly going to be inappropriate some of the time.
My proposition: let's just label the good ones as good hitters and the ones who used to be good as pesky hitters. Maybe the professional broadcasters will heed the advice. —Bret Sayre
5. Even the best hitters fail 70 percent of the time
"Baseball is a game of failure," people sometimes say, and while trite, there's plenty of truth to that. The real problems pop up when people try to quantify that failure. A 70 percent failure rate suggests that a hit is the only positive outcome of a plate appearance. It's a relic of an era when batting average ruled the roost and no one worried about walks or on-base percentage. Sixty percent would be better, though even that might be an exaggeration; Joey Votto and Miguel Cabrera, for instance, make outs about 55 percent of the time. And maybe "making an out" is itself too broad a definition of failure: a hard line drive that lands in a glove is in some sense a success for the hitter, who did everything right and was robbed. (Though you could say the opposite about a blooper that falls in.) No matter where you put the percentage, it's potentially misleading. Let's just leave it at "game of failure."
(Then again, what sport, or human endeavor of any kind, doesn't involve failure? And isn't every failure someone else's success? Maybe it's time to rebrand baseball as a game of success.) —Ben Lindbergh
6. Selective Aggression
Admittedly, my hated for "selectively aggressive" is irrational. I know what it means, I understand the deeper concepts, but it drives me nuts.
If you're a poker fan you probably know what "selective aggression" is. More than an oxymoron, it's a philosophy that encourages players to go for a pot when they have a chance.
Maybe the concept makes sense to you, but there is a problem with oxymorons: they can lead to confusion, especially when translating the concept to another language.
So, why is the term used when it comes to hitting? Well, hitters want to find pitches they can do damage with, and lay off of ones they can't drive. It makes sense, and it avoids the confusion created by a clumsy figure of speech. —Mike Ferrin.
7. "You Talk About ______"
8. Bryce Harper Plays Too Hard, Unlike Mike Trout/Pete Rose
Harper's aggressiveness has been compared many times to that of Pete Rose. Rose himself weighed in on this topic with BP's own Mike Ferrin last week: "There's a difference between playing hard and playing recklessly. And Bryce plays recklessly." This is coming from the guy who dislocated Ray Fosse's shoulder in an exhibition game. Rose bruised his knee on that play and missed three games as a result.
The misadventure that sticks out most in people's minds is when he crashed into the Dodger Stadium wall. But there's nothing wrong with Harper's "mindset" or "style" that will have him colliding full-steam with unpadded walls his whole career. He got a bit lost in the outfield—which, as Rose pointed out, is still a fairly new position for him. Less than two weeks later, the mortal Harper may even have cost himself an important catch because the Dodger Stadium episode was still in his head.
I have not seen Bryce Harper play recklessly this year. In fact, Harper has matured in much the same way people expected he would. Last year, he was prone to high-intensity, low-percentage throws when there were smarter plays available. (Adam LaRoche gave him a talking-to in the dugout after one error on an overthrow led to a run against Colorado on June 26 last year.) This year, he's been throwing back to the infield more often instead of trying for every play at home.
Harper has proved that concerns about his emotional maturity from the minor leagues were overblown. People will hopefully soon realize that he's not a danger to himself physically, either. —Dan Rozenson
9. Change-Piece, Slide-Piece
Now that we're beyond that, I'll talk about my pet peeve: adding "-piece" when referring to an off-speed pitch. It doesn't add anything, it means nothing, and it actually makes the original word longer, yet I often hear people––including players and coaches––saying "slide-piece" or "change-piece." I also heard an AZL Angels pitcher say "changy" last week––that's a new one for me. In the long run, this is harmless and it's nothing more than a personal pet peeve. Perhaps I'll eventually be sucked in. Anybody else see Verlander's fastball-piece last night? —Jason Cole

Not a baseball cliche per se, but it seems the majority of former players in the booth or studio have to begin a comment with, "I'll tell you what ...."

BP staff
Yeah, it's a verbal tic some people have in the booth. Bill Clinton used to always begin sentences with "Let me just say this," as though anyone would dare interrupt the President!
Aug 07, 2013 07:02 AM
95% of (insert pluralized position player here) would not have been able to make that play.
Aug 07, 2013 06:11 AM
How about "a tie goes to the runner"? There is no such rule.
Aug 07, 2013 07:23 AM
True. Technically the runner has to BEAT the force at any base, so a tie (assuming that's even theoretically possible) would actually go to the fielder.
Aug 07, 2013 09:51 AM
Isaac Lin
There are three relevant rules, two of which could be interpreted as the fielder must tag the base before the runner touches it, and one that could be interpreted the other way:

How about a pitcher "bearing down" to retire a hitter? Because usually they're not trying ...?
Aug 07, 2013 07:40 AM
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Rose might have a point: In the 9 seasons where he primarily played the OF, he rarely missed a game. The Fosse play might well be the outlier.
Aug 07, 2013 07:51 AM
I liked the article; Sobsey gave 110%. Carleton's a gamer. No one wants it more than R.J. Anderson.
Aug 07, 2013 08:16 AM
My particular hated baseball cliches is any variation on the phrase about "old school" baseball.
Aug 07, 2013 08:23 AM
Actually laughing at "changy". I actually kind of like it.
Aug 07, 2013 08:46 AM
How about when a batter doubles in a runner from second and the announcer says they have traded places? I always thought a player went into the dugout after scoring a run and not back to the batter's box.
Aug 07, 2013 08:49 AM
What about The Hawk's TWTW, Can't measure that with your sabermatronics! The will to win is what every ball club needs!
Aug 07, 2013 09:05 AM
The aggregate record of the teams The Hawk played for was 232 games BELOW .500 during the 9 seasons he played. Moreover, the only teams he ever played on that finished above .500 were the 1967-69 Red Sox, and that gives him credit for the 23 games he played for them in '67 and the 10 he played for them in '69.
Aug 07, 2013 09:17 AM
"I always played the game the right way..." always makes me cringe. Playing the game "the right way" means running out every ground ball and pop-up every time. The number of players who do that is surely much smaller than the number of players who claim to have "played the game the right way."
Aug 07, 2013 09:25 AM
"You can't teach that."

"I battled out there, did my best to give my team a chance to win" is another doozy, recently spoken by John Lannan, after a mediocre pitching performance in a game he gave away via sheer baserunning laziness.

I tried to come up with a cliche of my own, but I couldn't. I think that I was just trying too hard.
Aug 07, 2013 10:05 AM
A couple of my own pet peeves:

Dave Scott
Sabermetrics and scouting have their cliches, too. I hope they turn to those next with great velo.
Aug 07, 2013 12:44 PM
Jasun Lee
My biggest pet peeve for broadcasters is when they are discussing certain players and refer to them in a plural sense. "Your Mike Trouts and your Bryce Harpers" as an example.
Aug 07, 2013 12:45 PM
Pat Folz
AAAAAAAAA god this almost single-handedly made me stop listening to announcers at all.
Aug 07, 2013 15:49 PM
This may be a figure of speech known as synecdoche (pronounced sort of like Schenectady), in which a part is used to describe a whole. The quintessential example is "head of cattle."
Aug 07, 2013 18:06 PM
"Joey Votto and Miguel Cabrera, for instance, avoid making an out about 55 percent of the time."
Aug 07, 2013 13:34 PM
Fan base is a dumb term in my view. What is a fan base? Are there fans who are not part of the base. Is it a place where fans go when they are not at the game?
Aug 07, 2013 15:02 PM
Why not a substantive article on the top ten common misconceptions about baseball which are consistently passed on by clueless broadcasters despite a wealth of empirical research to the contrary? For example, the efficacy of lineup protection in "clutch" situations, the no-doubles defense, the importance of not making the second out at 3rd base (???), whether pitchers "pitch" to the score (Pitch F/X should answer this) or should they?, etc.
Aug 07, 2013 15:44 PM
I'd like to see which pet peeves were left on the cutting room floor here because I can think of a lot more that are overused/misused/flat out dumb.
Aug 07, 2013 17:05 PM
#9 "-piece" is of a piece with the persistent "golf shot" and Mike Shanahan being unable to mention his team without the word "football" in front of it, often three times in one sentence. What is it about these stupid phrases? Words are the business of announcers; why are so many of them so bad at their use?
Aug 07, 2013 23:03 PM
"How many times have you seen it? A guy makes a great play in the field and comes up to lead off the next inning."
Aug 08, 2013 02:39 AM
Untracked as in "it took our starter a couple of innings to get untracked".
Aug 08, 2013 08:00 AM
I know that this is technically correct, but it bothers me when announcers say a team has an "anemic" offense. I know they mean the offense is listless or lacking power, but I can't help but think the offense has a reduced red blood cell count caused by a hemoglobin deficiency.
Aug 08, 2013 10:59 AM

Since improper use of a word is not a cliche' I feel obliged to weigh-in on my own pet peeve.

Strong vocals, an engaging ensemble and fun songs made for a fun evening at Actors' Summit Theatre, which closes its regular season on a high note with "Back to Bacharach and David."
The revue is a musical nod to Burt Bacharach and Hal David, whose collaborations included "I Say a Little Prayer," "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head," "The April Fools," "Walk On By," "Wishin' and Hopin'" and "Always Something There to Remind Me."
The four-member ensemble includes Brandon Isner, Chanda Porter, Debra Rose and Lisa Marie Schueller, with music director J.T. Buck on keyboard and Scott Sexton on percussion. MaryJo Alexander directed the show.
The June 15 audience seemed to enjoy the show.
"I thought the voices harmonized really well," said Greg Polyak of Cuyahoga Falls. "Their expressions brought a lot of joy to me, and I think the audience picked up on their fun, too. The new arrangements were fresh and interesting."
Greg's wife Marcia said she agreed that she liked the way the music was arranged for the show and complimented the ensemble and Buck for their deft handling of the score.
Alexander said she was happy with how the show came together.
"It's such a treat to have singers who are vocal musicians," she said. "The good directors look for the best, then they leave them alone. It's a great show. It's layers and layers of romance. I was surprised how many songs these guys wrote. They wrote many great songs."
Schueller, who lives in Kent, ended a 5-year hiatus from the theater with her appearance in the show. Schueller said Alexander contacted her to join the ensemble when one of the actresses had to drop out due to a family emergency.
"I did my last show when my older daughter was 6 months old, and she's 5 1/2 now," Schueller said. "My second daughter is now 5 1/2 months old. I'm glad to be back in it. Maddie and my family came opening night, and she was so proud. She said 'That's my mom!'"
Ticket and show information
"Back to Bacharach and David" will run through July 20. There will be no performance July 4. Performances are given Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m., and take place at Greystone Hall in downtown Akron. The show is appropriate for all ages.

– Duke is usually the one running teams out of Cameron Indoor Stadium. So when the Blue Devils found themselves on the receiving end of a beatdown, they figured they had simply set themselves up for quite a comeback.
They stormed back from 15 points down in the second half to beat Oklahoma State 68-59 on Tuesday night in the second round of the Norfolk Regional.
"Coach came in and just said we were just getting ready for a great comeback," forward
Haley Peters
said. "We knew we played a bad first half but we couldn't focus on that. It was more about how we were going to change in the second half ... and we were going to have a great comeback."
Elizabeth Williams
had 16 points and 12 rebounds. Peters added 15 points and 13 rebounds and
Tricia Liston
scored eight of her 13 in the final 6-plus minutes for the second-seeded Blue Devils (32-2), who will face sixth-seeded Nebraska in the regional semifinals on Sunday in Norfolk, Va. - near Williams' hometown of Virginia Beach.
"I think it's pretty cool," Williams said.
Chloe Wells
also finished with 13 points for Duke, which dug out of that deep hole by outscoring the seventh-seeded Cowgirls 47-23 during the final 19 1/2 minutes to reach the tournament's second weekend for the 15th time in 16 years.
Duke improved to 20-1 in NCAA tournament games at Cameron and won its 20th straight home game.
"That was a blue-collar comeback," coach
Joanne P. McCallie
said. "That was guttural. That was gutsy."
Liz Donohoe had 14 points to lead Oklahoma State (22-11), which led for nearly all of the first 35 minutes but had 21 turnovers and made just 2 of 14 shots over the final 9 1/2 minutes.
"We almost had to play a perfect game to win this game, and I thought we played pretty close to perfect in the first half and maybe the first 4-5 minutes in the second half," Oklahoma State coach Jim Littell said. "But it was a tough draw coming in here, because we know how good they are."
Brittney Martin added 13 points and her free throw with 7:50 left put the Cowgirls up 51-45.
That's when Duke finally started playing like a No. 2 seed going for its 18th straight NCAA tournament victory at home.
Alexis Jones
hit a free throw before Liston finally warmed up after a 2-for-12 start, scoring six straight points to give Duke its first lead since the opening minutes.
She stuck back her missed jumper, drew contact, hit the following free throw and then buried a 3-pointer with 5 1/2 minutes left to put the Blue Devils up 52-51.
That got Duke's decisive 17-2 run rolling, scoring on five straight possessions with Jones' free throws maxing out the lead at 62-53 with 53.8 seconds left.
By that point, their 15-point hole - their largest deficit at Cameron all season - was a distant memory.
They fell that far behind in the first minute of the second half and were in danger of being run completely off their home court before they got back in it with 12 straight points.
"You can want things too much sometimes and press a little bit and forget to play together," McCallie said. "Second half, very different story. Everybody on the same page, everybody pulling in the same direction and I thought it was a fascinating thing to be a part of."
That came after a first half in which the Cowgirls came into Cameron and made themselves right at home.
They led for all but about 2 minutes of the half while shooting nearly 47 percent in the opening 20 minutes.
Toni Young finished with 12 points and Tiffany Bias added 11 for Oklahoma State, which held Duke to 18 percent shooting from 3-point range in the first half.
"We're a fast and quick team, and we used what we got to build a lead against them," Young said.
Bias banked in a 3 with about 10 seconds left making it 34-21 at the break, and Martin hit a short jumper about 15 seconds into the second half to put the Blue Devils down by 15. But the Cowgirls couldn't hold on, and their third trip to the round of 16 slipped away down the stretch.
"We came to the toughest place as far as a No. 2 seed goes, and we went toe to toe for about 35 minutes with them," Littell said, "and I'm proud of our group for that."

I'm using Mac OS version 10.9.1 and have downloaded MAMP version 5.5.33. Candidly, I gave up after three trials to make MAMP more secure by changing password, after changing it, could not connect to MySQL.
MAMP has two green lights indicating both MySQL and Apache servers are working.
When I try to run today.php from URL I get:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'F' (T_STRING) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/today.php on line 12
I suspect my setup is not complete, but have researched without success for a few days, hence this thread.
Any help would be welcome.
what is the contents of today.php?
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang= "en"> <head> <meta charset="utf -8"> <title>Today's Date</Title> </head> <body> <p>Today's date (according to this web server) is
echo date('l F jS Y.');
Try straight quotes in your code (and make sure you are using a code editor rather than something like Word):
echo date('l F jS Y.');
You had curly quotes in there, which cause problems.
The only single quotes I see on my keyboard are below the double quotes. Not sure I have another option.
No, it's the same keys, and just a matter of what your code editor does with them.
Try cutting and pasting what I posted above and put that straight into the file. What editor are you using? The ones that are not suited for coding turn them straight into "smart quotes", which are inappropriate for code. You need an editor that won't convert them (there are plenty of free ones) or you could check the settings of what you are suing and turn off smart quotes (or whatever they are called).
Here's what I got: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'F' (T_STRING) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/today2.php on line 12
I called the new file today2.php. I use TextEdit as my editor.
The exercise in Chapter 3 of Novice to Ninja asks that we create both a name.html and name.php file. When I run the name file in a URL, I only get the html content, not the php content. I'm thinking this might be related to the above error, namely that php content is not executed for some reason that has escaped me.
Thanks for your help...
I gave up after three trials to make MAMP more secure by changing password, after changing it, could not connect to MySQL.
After you change your info using terminal you have to go back and change some files as well.:*config.inc.php ( look for the line with '$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']* index.php (in Applications/MAMP/bin/mamp) ( look for the line with mysql_connect)* stopMySQL.sh (in Applications/MAMP/bin/mamp)
remember of course to save.
M$ Words, or any other rich text editor is NOT suitable for coding as it often adds styles and switches characters for in , in an effort to make your documents more typographically correct ( but code is not about typography) . So make sure when using Textedit that you have made the file PLAIN TEXT.
Once you fix that your code should run fine. hope that helps
The problem is the single quotes.
You have:
echo date('l F jS Y.');
You need:
The above error was that you had the wrong sort of quotes.Let's get that sorted out before moving on
I downloaded TextWrangler, copied the code into that editor and got the same error message.
Did you ensure that the quotes were ok?
Here's the entire code to copy/paste:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Today's Date</Title>
Today's date (according to this web server) is
<?php echo date('l F jS Y.'); ?>
Well, I'll be damned. Copied this code into TextWrangler, ran it as today4.php. It worked. Thanks very much. Regards, David

Voluntary Pre-K
The Voluntary Pre-K for Tennessee Initiative provides Tennessee's four-year-old children, with the first priority to those four-year-olds who are at-risk, an opportunity to develop school readiness skills (pre-academic and social skills).
Voluntary Pre-K classes promote a high quality academic environment, which fosters the love and joy of learning and promotes success in kindergarten and throughout the child's life.
- History of Voluntary Pre-K
The legislation for the Voluntary Pre-K (VPK) for Tennessee act of 2005 was passed by both the House and the Senate in May of 2005. This law provided for the use of $25 million in excess lottery dollars in the 2005-06 school year to establish quality pre-kindergarten classrooms through a competitive grant process. In subsequent years (2006-07 and 2007-08) Governor Bredesen's approved budget included additional State funding to expand Tennessee's VPK program classes to reach an ever growing number of at-risk pre-k children. Today, in 2013-2014, over $85,0000,00.00 from the state education budget is allocated to school districts to operate 935 classrooms serving over 18,000 four-year-olds each year.
- Basic Principles
Parents, communities and school districts can decide locally whether they want and need high quality Pre-K classrooms.
Working for Access For All
Pre-K in Tennessee is accessible to all 4-year olds, with an emphasis on at-risk students and high priority communities.
Maintain Existing High Standards
Keep the high quality standards already in place regarding small class size, curriculum requirements and certified teachers.
Applying to Match State Dollars
The local school district serves as the applicant for matching state funds. Local school districts are accountable for matching state dollars based on their BEP formula state/local match requirement. Local school districts have the ability to use federal funds, private dollars or in-kind resources as part of their local match.
Flexible Local Partnerships
Communities, through their local school districts, have the ability to contract and partner with non-school providers, i.e., non–profit, for–profit and local Head Start programs.
Community Coordination and Planning
Each school district creates and facilitates a community "Pre-K Advisory Council" which provides formal input into the application and plan to expand pre-K classrooms. Representation must include, but is not be limited to, parents, teachers, non-school providers, Head Start, the business community and local government leaders.
Office of Early Learning
A strong, centralized office monitors the programs for accountability; oversee the application process; consult with local
- 2013-14 Facts
The Voluntary Pre-K for Tennessee Act of 2005 was passed with strong bipartisan support from the Tennessee General Assembly, increasing the state's investment in Early Childhood Education and access for students.
- FY '14 Funding: $86,552,900 million ($85,807,268 flow through to LEAs / $745,652 Admin)
- Number of Classes: 935 State-Funded Pre-K Classes
- Enrollment: 18,000+ Children Enrolled
- Location: All 95 TN Counties
- LEAs Served: 135 TN School Systems *135/136 LEAs pre-K eligible
- Growth of Pre-K from 2004 to 2014:
School Year # Pre-K Classrooms # Students Served 2013-14 935 18,000 + (final number in June '14) 2012-13 935 18,621 2011-12 934 18,609 2010-11 934 18,453 2009-10 934 18,370 2008-09 934 18,364 2007-08 934 18,133 2006-07 677 13,197 2005-06 448 9,000 2004-05 (Pilot pre-K) 148 3,000
- The Tennessee Voluntary Pre-K (TN VPK) program is recognized as a national leader in pre-K quality, achieving 9 out of 10 quality standard benchmarks of the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER), only 4 states achieved 10 quality standard benchmarks in 2012.
- TN VPK program is ranked 19th in terms of access to program for four year olds while ranking 13th in terms of state funding (NIEER 2012)
- Tennessee is one of 5 states in the nation to receive a grant in 2008 to partner with the Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations of Early Learning (CSEFEL) to build the capacity of the state to increase the social and behavioral competence of young children. This work continues today in 2013.
- Collaborative classroom partnerships are an integral component of the TN VPK program. Currently there are over 200 collaborative classroom partnerships between 40 local school systems and non-profit and for profit providers such as; Head Start , For-Profit and Not-For-Profit Child Care Providers, Faith Based Agencies, Community Based Agencies, and Higher Education Institutions.
- United Way of Tennessee provides local matching funds of nearly $1 million for 46 pre-K classrooms throughout the state.
- Tennessee recognizes the importance of a highly trained staff by requiring a licensed teacher with pre-K certification and recommending a teacher assistant with early childhood experience and either a Certified Development Associate (CDA), or working toward a CDA certification. Fifty-three percent of teacher assistants have a CDA or higher credential in the 2012-13 school year.
- The TN VPK has one of six full-day programs across the country requiring a minimum instructional day of 5½ hours per day, 5 days per week.
- The Tennessee Alliance for Early Education (TAEE) continues to provide strong leadership for the advocacy and advancement of early childhood education in Tennessee.
- The revised TN Early Learning Developmental Standards (TNELDS), for four year-olds, were approved by the state board of education in August 2012.

So when's the big day?! She says, "I don't know. I'm like so focused on my record… I kind of don't want to be in between touring and trying to plan all that. Because I didn't really realize until I got a wedding planning book what you have to decide on." Eh, just as well. Nick Jonas already spilled about a secret June ceremony anyway, hehe.

Chapter 4
De Ja Frickin' Vu
I didn't bother going into the house, Dad would probably demand that I get him a beer, because he was too damn lazy to get off his lazy backside and get it himself. I sat on the porch, staring at the lawn, thinking about my favourite music. It has been ages since I actually wrote a song, well, there's no point, it'd probably turn out crap anyway. When I was sure Katie was gone, I stood up and walked down the lawn.
There was a sound of a branch cracking, or someone stepping on a huge twig, I froze listening hard for another sound. I figured it was a animal, so I carried on walking. You know that feeling you get, when you're sure some dumbass creep is following you, and you turn around, and there's no one there, but you just know? I got that all the frickin' way to the diner. It was the only place in town, that was even close to a fastfood restaurant.
The place was almost empty, so I managed to get a table in the corner. I glanced out the window, I was sure I saw something flash past the window. I blinked, then shook my head.
I heard a voice, it was the same as the boy in cafeteria, Nayte. "Get out of here."
"Are you stalking me?!" I asked.
Everyone looked at me like I was a complete loser, and a insane freak. Instead, I hid behind my menu, so they couldn't stare at me, like the little staring dumbasses that they are. I glanced over my shoulder, to see if he was sat at the table behind me - he wasn't. A quick scan of the room, told me that he wasn't anywhere in the diner. The waitress casually strolled over, chewing gum.
"What can I get you?" the waitress asked.
"Cheeseburger, and a glass of cola," I replied, with out even looking at the menu.
When it arrived, the cheese was barely melted, the burger was like rubber, and the cola didn't drown out the frickin' taste. After I paid for the food, I walked out the diner, glad to be away from the place. This town seriously frickin' needed a McDonalds or a KFC or something. I heard the crunching of footsteps on gravel, like someone was moving towards me.
I turned around quickly, raising both of my fists. I looked cautiously around, I was frickin' scared a heck, but I wouldn't admit that to anyone.
"Who's there?" I demanded, with extra confidence. "Ah!" I yelled, as something hit me on the head.
I stumbled back, and landed on my ass. My head frickin' hurt, I didn't even see anything come close to me, or anything get thrown at me. I forced myself to my feet, and ran. I didn't give a crap where to, I just had to get away from here, and whatever dumbass was trying to kill me.
There wasn't many places to go, and it was getting dark. I stopped in a alley way, running as fast as I could, I stopped when I hit a slight fork in the path. I could run straight ahead, run to the left, or turn back. I could see a woman stood in the entrance of the alley way ahead, so I wasn't going to take that frickin' route, in case she's this psycho dumbass, I turned to the left, I could see the silhouette of a man with dreadlocks. Frick! I was surrounded. I turned around, there as a light shining on that entrance of the alley, I was sure the guy I could see looked just like the blonde guy I saw climbing up that tree near the diner on our way to Forks.
As the three entered the alley ways, trying to get me, I heard the clang of metal above me. I looked up, to see someone holding their hand out, they was crouching on a balcony above. I didn't even think about it, and just grabbed their hand, it felt like it was made from actual ice, the pulled me up onto the balcony with such ease, that you'd think I was made of paper or some crap like that. They started climbing up a ladder, to the balcony above, I followed them.
I haven't got a frickin' clue why I followed them, I just did. Hey, I prefer some dumbass that just saved me from getting killed, than three stalker assholes, that tried to kill me. I climbed up the ladder, onto the building roof. I was surprised to see some woman up there, with bubble gum pink coloured hair, she looked like she'd just left the gym or some crap. When she turned and the light from the streetlamp hit her face, I was shocked to see that her eyes was scarlet red.
"Take her, and go. I'll handle those three," the woman said, with such a girly voice. It was so sweet sounding.
"Who the heck are you?" I demanded.
But, I didn't get a answer, I was grabbed by the guy that saved me, he then jumped off the building into the street below. He pulled me to a car parked nearby, opened one of the back passenger seats, and shoved me inside. With in the time slot of about a frickin' split second, he was already in the driver's seat.
"What the heck is going on?" I demanded.
"You should put your seatbelt on," the guy replied. His voice, I recognised it right away.
"You!" I said, completely shocked.

"Our "Bridal Brunch" invitations are absolutely perfect. I got just the right look I was going for, and have received many compliments from the invited guests."
"I am hosting a bridal shower in a local pub and this invitation was perfect for the occasion. The design team handled all my changes easily. I removed the times from the two circles because I thought it was confusing. I added the registry and hostesses names to the back side. I chose the pearl shimmer finish with regular corners. It turned out perfectly. Utilize the designer review and you can't go wrong."
"I absolutely loved how these invites for my Sister's wedding shower turned out and had a great experience. The designer was kind enough to help in customizing and adding an extra line of text I wanted ("J&E - The Perfect Blend" to tie together the tea theme). The quality of the materials was great. Also, while it's difficult to see online how the pearlescent glimmer looks, in printed form it is beautiful, and luxurious. I chose to also buy the envelopes, return address label wraps, thank you cards, and envelopes. My plan is to label & stamp the thank you's and give that to my sister as a gift (as saving her time on these will make her so happy). I rarely write reviews, but felt this experience was well worth it. Many thanks, WPD & Elk Design."
"I ordered these invitations for my sister's bridal shower. I decided to keep the font and colors that the preview shows because they were beautiful as is! The order arrived promptly and was exactly what I expected. I love the thickness and size of the invitations. The design is perfect for a classy afternoon tea!"
"Easy to personalize. Came quickly. Paper is good thick card stock. Color is as shown onscreen. Used Vintage Circus stamps to continue with the theme. Lots of fun!"

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/11/2012 (1741 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I knew we weren't in Canada anymore when we were zipping down the highway through Grand Forks and looked over to see a normal bustling fast food jungle looking oddly dark.
First lesson: Don't start driving to the United States seeking Black Friday deals hours before on the Thursday night with an empty stomach. It's the American Thanksgiving -- think Christmas here -- and the vast majority of restaurants and takeout joints are shuttered tight.
I also had another inkling about what we were getting into as we hurtled towards the Albertville factory outlet mall outside Minneapolis while zipping through Fargo. I looked over at the West Acres Mall area and saw tents bunched in front of the nearby Best Buy outlet and a line that went clear around the building. Nearby, other long lines could also be seen outside Target and Toys R Us.
"Where's the line outside Walmart?" I asked a worker at the takeout Pizza Hut, which was, from what I could tell, the only food place open there. "They let them in already."
It's Thanksgiving evening at 9 p.m., just a few hours after people ate turkey on one of the biggest holidays of the year for our American neighbours, and many of those same people are already shopping.
But that's Black Friday for you.
For Americans that haven't really discovered our country's Boxing Day tradition of having their biggest sales of the year the day after Christmas, Black Friday is their country's biggest shopping day of the year.
The sale day probably began in part when American retailers, in a country whose Thanksgiving is always on the fourth Thursday of November, decided that since many people also took Friday off, they would entice them into their stores with bargains.
Thus a giant retail day was born.
And how. Two weeks before the shopping day, leaked flyers from the major stores, whether it be Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Toys R Us or Kohls, begin appearing on special Black Friday websites. Websites like amazon.com begin having sales in the days before Black Friday, while yet another retail day, Cyber Monday, has cropped up for online sales on the Monday after Black Friday.
And where at one point retailers were waiting until 6 a.m. on the Friday to open their doors, a steady creeping back of the clock has now led to several announcing they will open on Thanksgiving day at 9 p.m.
Canadian stores are fighting back, with local malls like Polo Park and Kildonan Place vowing to open early on that Friday with their own sales to entice shoppers to stay on this side of the border.
Who knows what it will be like at Albertville this year? But last year, the factory outlet mall needed police to be out on the street directing traffic into the parking lot for hours starting on Thursday at about 9 p.m.
Many of the outlet mall's 100-plus stores opened at 9 p.m., more at 10 p.m. and by midnight they were all open.
You could walk right into many of the stores, but the most popular -- including the Coach outlet -- saw long lineups outside and security guards watching them through the night. I saw a line there on Black Friday at 3 a.m. and driving past to go to Minneapolis at about 11 a.m., I saw a line there.
Mind you, it was an unseasonably balmy evening, well above freezing. Many shoppers left their coats in their vehicles and several people were in short-sleeve shirts.
The outlet mall attracts so many shoppers that it has also set up additional off-site parking with shuttle buses bringing people to the site as well as having special shop-and-stay packages with local hotels.
It's actually a fun, party-like time, and several of the hotels in the area get into the spirit of things.
One of the hotel's, the Best Western Chelsea Inn and Suites 10 kilometres away in Monticello, is offering its own shuttle transportation to the centre until about 3 a.m.
It also will feature something to fill the tummies of hungry shoppers on their way to or back from the centre: hot soup and other snacks and drinks.
The next day -- or maybe it's later that day -- you can wake up with a complementary breakfast featuring both hot and cold items and take a dip in their pool and hot tub.
For those who want to stay closer to the action, you can't get any closer than the Country Inn and Suites located immediately behind Albertville.
This hotel also features help to keep Black Friday shoppers going, including coffee, hot chocolate and cookies. It also sets aside a meeting room so you can wrap your purchases with free boxes, wrapping paper, ribbon and tape.
Depending on your stamina, further west down the highway is Minneapolis and St. Paul, with tons of shopping including the Mall of America.
Just remember: while the Canadian government has changed the rules since last year so anyone who stays in the United States for two nights can bring back $800 (Canadian funds) duty free, you still have to have the room to bring stuff back.
So if you see a van with Manitoba plates loaded to the gills and rooftop carriers stuffed, wave to it -- it might just be me.

Great now we have to listen to 6 months of Cardinals whining about this and the correction to the umpires call.
Funny thing though as Kozma got the benefit of the infield fly last year and now he is getting torched with errors in WS game 1.

It is very blatant across most teams, especially in the summer. Pitchers put sunscreen on their glove hand forearm and use that. Cannot remember who, but one pitcher went so far as to say the hitters are ok with it. Since it gives pitchers more control, fewer batter get HBP.

Yeah it is awful when fans whine about a pitcher on the other team cheating, we would never do that.
You just can't hide unnatural movement acquired by using slippery substances from pitch f/x, this isn't 1960. If they want the umpires to start checking for pine tar and sunscreen and other grip assisting substances, go for it.

Although social anxiety disorder generally requires help from a medical expert or qualified psychotherapist, you can try some self-help techniques to handle situations that are likely to trigger your symptoms:
First, consider your fears to identify what situations cause the most anxiety. Then gradually practice these activities until they cause you less anxiety. Begin with small steps in situations that aren't overwhelming.
Consider practicing these situations:
At first, being social when you're feeling anxious is challenging. As difficult or painful as it may seem initially, don't avoid situations that trigger your symptoms. By regularly facing these kinds of situations, you'll continue to build and reinforce your coping skills.
These strategies can help you begin to face situations that make you nervous:
Avoid using alcohol to calm your nerves. It may seem like it helps, but in the long run it can make you feel more anxious.

As a gamer, I take a special interest in Full Tower cases because of the functionality they offer. But sometimes Full Tower cases are just too big to fit comfortably where they need to. Mid-Tower cases can provide a lot of the functionality of a Full Tower case but with the style that might be preferred, depending on the circumstance. It's the balance of providing that functionality that often gets case manufacturers into trouble. Benchmark Reviews has Cooler Master's new HAF XM case on hand and this article is dedicated to discovering if the famous HAF-X's little brother holds true to the family tree.
Cooler Master is an old name in the computer chassis arena. They churn out many various styles and sizes of cases and also delve into the peripheral community. One of my favorite peripherals of all time is the CM Storm Sentinel Advance Laser Gaming Mouse. With this much experience in the game, Cooler Master should know how to keep their ear tuned to the needs and wants of computer users.
Keeping those desires in mind, Cooler Master shrunk their extremely popular HAF-X case into a Mid-Tower size with the HAF XM. The HAF (High Air Flow) line of chassis was designed by Cooler Master for those computer gamers and enthusiasts that need more than the normal amount of air flow to cool their components. The HAF-X provided that with a militaristic style and with plenty of fans. The HAF-XM keeps a very similar style to its big brother and tries to maintain the same level of cooling in a slightly smaller enclosure. Let's move on inside to take a look at the features of the HAF-XM and to see if it lives up to its legacy.
