Young Historians Have the Opportunity to Tour Battlefields of Europe
Six young people from across New South Wales will be given the chance to take the trip of a lifetime to historic battlefields overseas.
The initiative, funded by ClubsNSW, will see six students travel to Athens and Lemnos in Greece, Villers-Bretonneux in France, Passchendaele in Belgium, and London as part of a 10-day tour in October 2018.
High School students 16 and 17 years of age are invited to enter the 2018 Premier's Anzac Ambassadors Program.
Minister for Veterans Affairs David Elliott said it is important for young people and students to understand and commemorate the great sacrifices the Anzacs made over 100 years ago in foreign wars and on foreign battlefields.
ClubsNSW chief executive Anthony Ball said the Anzac Ambassadors Program aimed to enrich the lives of participating students by giving them a better understanding of the hardships faced by Australians during World War I.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for school students to learn about the contributions and sacrifices made by Anzac soldiers, and to pass this knowledge onto their peers after they return home," Mr Ball said.
Former Anzac Ambassador Eloise Cooper said the she felt privileged to undertake such a life-changing experience shared with people who have become friends for life.
"The program provided me with an opportunity to realise the vastness of the challenges the Anzacs undertook, and has made me even prouder to be Australian."
To enter, simply submit a 1000-word essay which answers the following question: Why is the Centenary of Anzac important for Modern Australia?
Entry must be received by 5pm Monday July 31 2018.
All submissions must be accompanied by a resume with three referees.

Asynchronous 3-bit up down counter
In my previous post on ripple counter we already saw the working principle of up-counter. Now in this post we will see how an up down counter work.
As we know that in the up-counter each flip-flop is triggered by the normal output of the preceding flip-flop (from output Q of first flip-flop to clock of next flip-flop); whereas in a down-counter, each flip-flop is triggered by the complement output of the preceding flip-flop (from output Q^ of first flip-flop to clock of next flip-flop).Here you will see in bellow diagram of 3-bit up down counter.
The operation of such a counter is controlled by the up-down control input. Now question is in which sequence it will count see below the table for the counting sequence of the up down counter in the two modes of counting.
As I discussed earlier that for up down counting operation preceding flip-flop sometime it need input from output from output Q of first flip-flop to clock of next flip-flop for up-counting and sometimes from output Q^ of first flip-flop to clock of next flip-flop for down-counting. So in above circuit diagram it is shown clearly. As we know a flip-flop can hold single bit so for 3 bit operation it need three flip-flops. An inverter has been inserted in between the count-up control line and the count-down control line to ensure that the count-up and count-down cannot be simultaneously in the HIGH state.
When the count-up/down line is held HIGH, the lower AND gates will be disabled and their outputs will be zero. So they will not affect the outputs of the OR gates. At the same time the upper AND gates will be enabled. Hence, QA will pass through the OR gate and into the clock input of the B flip-flop. Similarly, QB will be gated into the clock input of the C flip-flop. Thus, as the input pulses are applied, the counter will count up and follow a natural binary counting sequence from 000 to 111.
Similarly, with count-up/down line being logic 0, the upper AND gates will become disabled and the lower AND gates are enabled, allowing Q′A and Q′B to pass through the clock inputs of the following flip-flops. Hence, in this condition the counter will count in down mode, as the input pulses are applied.

Points table after the fourth day of the T20 World Cup
The fourth day of the T20 world cup lots of ups and downs in the points table with England going to the top of the table in Group A leaving India in the second spot. England was up against Afghanistan and the 116 run victory helped England with the run rate and eventually they made it to the top. But their match against India is still left to be played and that will decide whether they stay on the same spot or whether there is any change.
It was also a day when Group D played their opening match. Bangladesh was set to face New Zealand and the Kiwis enjoyed a rather one sided match after Brendon McCullum fired the Bangladeshi bowlers all round the park. He scored a spectacular century and went on to make 123 before he got out. The Kiwis won by 59 runs and are on the top of the table with 2 points. There has been no changes in Group B and Group C where Sri Lanka and South Africa both stand on 2 points each but Sri Lanka are on top because of a greater run rate. Australia too are on top of their Group after they had beaten Ireland in their first match.

Watkins Elementary School will officially enter a new era today when city and Broward School officials gather for a ground-breaking ceremony for a new school to replace the existing one.
Watkins Elementary was built in 1955 to serve a small community of students, Principal Ronald Adderley said. Since then the area has grown, as has the need for a modern school building, he said.
The ground-breaking is scheduled at 8:30 a.m. at the school, 3601 SW 56th Ave., Pembroke Park.
The new school, estimated to cost $8 million, is the first using the "design-build" concept, whereby the contractor and the architect prepare their plans at the same time, said Ray de la Feuilliez, Broward Schools associate superintendent for facilities and construction. The method is supposed to cut the cost and time needed to build the school, he said. The school should be completefor the 1996-97 school year.

Spanish in the Playground
If you see me at the playground or at the next story time, don't think I am rude. You may not understand what I say, or agree with what I am doing, but raising my child bilingual is one of the most important decisions I have made so far in parenting.
It hasn't been that long, my son is not yet two, but starting early- meaning at birth and even earlier- is important when it comes to raising bilingual children. I have many reasons why I want him to speak Spanish right away. The emotional reason is that Spanish is my first language and my dad does not speak English; if I want my son and my dad to understand each other I need him to learn the language.
The other reason, the rational one, is that I know the many opportunities that he will have when he grows up and is bilingual. A lot of doors have opened for me for this very reason, and I want to give my children at least the same opportunities that I've had. It also sets him up for learning a third or fourth language.
If we start later or don't do it consistently it will be harder for him to be bilingual- not impossible, but definitely harder. Keep in mind that as he goes to school, the majority of his day will be spent listening to and speaking English, and by the time he is in elementary school, he will likely be English dominant, meaning his English language skills will be stronger than his Spanish. I need to set a precendent from the start that at home we only speak Spanish, even when it becomes a chore.
Teaching him Spanish works out really well for us, my husband learned Spanish in high school and through his parents' insistence continued in college and beyond. He is now bilingual, and is happy to speak to our son in Spanish, something I find terribly cute.
What this means, however, is that when you see me at the playground, or the supermarket, or anywhere else, I will be speaking to my son in Spanish, even if I get weird looks, or if other parents and children next to me don't understand what I am saying.
I have often felt weird speaking Spanish in front of others, even though it is my stronger language. I worry that people will think I am rude. I know that some people instantly assume that because you are speaking a different language you are talking about them- in my experience this is simply not true. I won't get into some people's feelings about the need to learn English because we live in the United States, as I said before, he will be speaking English very shortly and if there was a problem with his academic progress related to his language skills I will be the first one to help him correct it.
Very few people have told me that they disagree with what I am doing, and I am grateful for the friends who not only accept but encourage me to keep going, even when they don't understand what we are saying. But I have gotten some looks, some curious, others bothered. A couple of people have come and asked what language I am speaking, I am always happy to talk to them.
If you are next to us, listen closely and you've taken a Spanish class before, you'll recognize simple words, quite possibly the same ones you use with your toddler. If you want to know what I am saying, look at our body language. If I am kneeling, at eye level with my son, and looking stern, I am quite possibly disciplining; if we are both smiling and animated I may be encouraging or commending him for a job well done.
I do take some care when interacting with my child and other children. For example if my son takes your child's toy at the playground, I will often tell my son first in Spanish not to do that, then repeat in English so that your child knows what I have said. I do this because for children our different language may be confusing, however, it has been children who recognize what we say because they watch Dora and get so happy to use their Spanish words.
Regardless of others' reactions, I will not change my mind about this, and I will not switch over to English just because the person next to me doesn't understand Spanish. Please understand that I have to be strict about it.
So next time you see me in the park, and my son greets you with a friendly "Hola," please answer back. We are not that different, and we are always happy to make new friends.
Are you raising bilingual children? What is your strategy in accomplishing this?
Have you come in contact with parents speaking a different language to their children? How do you feel about it?

You know how there's [common sense] caution labels on products, so we don't hurt ourselves?
There should also be caution labels on certain cakes, so we don't go into a blissful, but potentially dangerous cake revelry, from which we may descend into gluttony, which as you know, is one of the 7 deadly sins.
This cake should come with such a caution label.
Bottom Glaze
4 T butter
1 c brown sugar
Heat in saucepan to combine, pour into bottom of baking dish
It will begin to set up a bit, but don't worry, it will turn into a true glaze when the cake bakes
6 medium apples [your choice], sliced thin*, and place in a layer [or two depending on size of your baking dish]
1 2/3 c flour
1 c sugar [I used 1/3 c homemade date sugar and 2/3 c natural; I feel like the date sugar added a richness, so get some if you can]
1 1/4 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1 1/4 t cinnamon
1/2 t fine sea salt [I added more salt than original recipe** called for and glad I did; balances the extreme, but delicious sweet bottom glaze]
4 T butter [original recipe calls for 10 T of butter (!), so by all means, go that route if you'd like; I subbed apple butter for 6 T; could also sub applesauce]
6 T apple butter
2 large eggs, plus another yolk
3/4 c milk [original recipe called for buttermilk; I made with 2% – your choice]
Combine, and pour over layer[s] of apples
350* 45m or until toothpick comes out clean
Don't be alarmed when eyes roll back in head from overwhelming delight.
*To me this is a serious key to incredible apple cakes and pies.
There's nothing as off-putting as big, gloppy pieces of apple.
**Original recipe came from the Whole Foods app, where you enter ingredients you have on hand and they give you recipe choices.

How Long Should A Workout Be To Gain Muscle? Science Says 13 Minutes Could Do The Trick
What if I told you that you could do a strength training workout in half the time you normally do and still get just as strong? You'd think I was speaking of magic, wouldn't you? Well, friends, the truth is, the question ofhow long a workout should be to gain musclereally depends on how you're approaching the workout. Apparently, according to the results of a new study, if you're doing something the fitness pros call "training to failure," you might be able to exercise for a lot less time than you think. We're talking, like half an episode of 30 Rock. Yes, seriously.
The study, which has been published in the medical journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, showed that it might be possible to to gain more or less the same muscular benefits with one brief set of a workout, rather than the traditional three sets. The one caveat, of course, is that you have to go at that set, like, really hard to make it count — so hard that you absolutely could not complete another set, even if you tried. That's the meaning of "training to failure," BTW, but we'll get into that more in a bit.
Now, before I get into how the study was done, it's worth noting that the research only included 34 "healthy resistance-trained men," according to the study authors, so the results may be a bit limiting. Even so, there's something to be learned from these findings, so here's how the research was done: To begin, the researchers tested and recorded the men's baseline muscular strength, endurance, and the size of their muscles. Then they randomly assigned each of the men to one of three different supervised weight-training groups, all with slight differences in their routines, though each one included pretty standard exercises like machine leg presses, bench presses, and lateral pull-downs. For all 34 men in the study, a set of any of these exercises was considered to be about eight to 12 reps, and the participants had to lift to failure, meaning lift until they literally could not do it anymore.
As for how each workout routine differed, one group was instructed to complete five sets of each exercise, with 90 seconds of rest in between each set; these guys stayed at the gym for around 70 minutes. Group two did three sets of each exercise and worked out for about 40 minutes total. Group three finished one set and one set alone, finishing their gym time after only 13 minutes. Each participant in the study did their workout three times a week over the course of eight weeks before they went back for a check-in with the researchers.
Now, while the researchers found that every single one of these dudes got stronger during the study, what was particularly interesting was that the men who did only one set in their workouts gained just as much actual strength as the men who did more sets. Isn't that wild?!
The one thing that differed, the study found, was the size of the men's muscles, aka their muscle mass, "but they were not noticeably stronger," according to The New York Times. So, basically, the big takeaway here is that strength and size don't necessarily correlate, and really, one of the most important things to do during strength training, if you really want to see results, is to train to failure.
In fact, strength and conditioning coach Evie Fatz says that, as long as you're lifting safely and within your own body's boundaries, training to failure can be a great way to approach your workout routine. "When looking to build lean mass, pushing the reps until you can't lift the weight any longer has its benefits," she tells Elite Daily over email. "You need to be pushing yourself to the very last rep, when your muscles are about to give out [for training to failure] to work. However, you do not want to be pushing to failure every time you're in the gym."
But hey, even though you can't necessarily go super hard for every trip to the gym, if it means one of your workouts each week can be just 13 minutes long, I'd say that's still pretty great, right? More time to binge 30 Rock.

Two Very Similar Books That Leave Two Very Different Impressions
Most things in life are at the perspective of the person doing it. Baseball offers many things that could be relative to the person witnessing the action, and you could have 100 people and get 100 different perspectives. Today's books offer essentially the same type of biography but the readers give two totally different outcomes from their authors.
Richard Elliott offers his biography of Clem Labine from a personal perspective. Theirs was essentially a life long friendship that grew from hero worship as a child when Clem was still an active player, to a relationship as a trusted colleague when Clem was an instrumental member of the author's family business. It is an interesting transition between player and fan and adds a unique twist to the story. It is not often you come across a story like this where the former player becomes almost a member of the family.
This book is very sentimental and has every right to be. It is stories about the many interactions between player and young fan and how they formed an unlikely friendship. The book also allows the reader to see the fondness Elliott has for Labine still to this day, and the emotion of the author comes through strongly. If you are looking for an in-depth bio on Labine's career, then this one comes in a little light, but in all truth it is an enjoyable story on a personal level that really carries its own weight and worth the read.
The next book also attempts to do the same. Tom Molito was a die hard Mickey Mantle fan growing up and as he aged his business dealings allowed him to get close to Mantle on a personal level. This one has the same hero adulation that the Clem Labine book does, but it also is from the perspective of a businessman. It shows the struggle between childhood memories and hero worship, and the dark realities of an alcoholic and former hero you are trying to work with.
It gives a very interesting look into the life of Mickey Mantle during his final years and the daily struggles Mickey had with his own demons and those that his handlers had in up keeping his public persona. The author has done a great job of being honest with the struggles he had dealing with the childhood memories and the stark truth that stared him in the face. Fortunately for the author, there was some good memories that came from his dealings with The Mick, so all was not lost.
Both of these books offer good things for the reader. Labine's book I believe was intended to be just what it was, a tribute to a dear friend and since Labine's death it may have been a way to write the final chapter on their friendship. The Mickey Mantle book on the other hand offers a direct look at the bleak reality of what Mickey Mantle really was near the end of his life. I don't think it was in any way intended to be a smear book and the authors tone throughout the book solidifies my opinion on that. It is just one book had an easier subject to work with than the other.
Check out both books, because they are both short easy reads and give unique perspectives on both subjects. Labine is a hard subject to find books on and this is one of the few I have found available. Also, when was the last time you read a new and different story about Mickey Mantle, for most of us I bet it has been awhile.
Happy Reading
Strangers in the Bronx-The Changing of the Yankee Guard
I hate to admit it, but I always enjoy a good book about the Yankees. The Phillies fan in me has a hard time justifying spending the money on purchasing one, much less enjoying a book about the evil empire. In the past there have been many avenues taken to relay the stories about the fabled team from the Bronx, but as of late it seems we keep taking the same walk around the same block. I would like to say today's book would take us on a different tour, but I am sad to say we have been down this road many times.
Andrew O'Toole has taken the reader on an adventure with the New York Yankees during a time of transition. A time when the one of the teams greatest stars was fading and its next one was on the rise. It shows a time when the Yankees were full of uncertainty but about to embark on a sustained period of success that may never be rivaled. Say what you will about the Yankees, they have a history that is hard to top.
The book shows what the 1951 season was like for the New York Yankees. Di Maggio's last season in pinstripes was not one of his greatest, but he earned the respect he demanded from the masses and his teammates and finished out the season and his career like only Joe DiMaggio could. Waiting in the wings was Mickey Mantle the young mid westerner who was on his way to fame and stardom and did not even realize what was awaiting him. Its a tale of two outsiders that came to New York and took a bite out of the big apple.
The downside to New York Yankees books is the fact that no matter what the subject matter is, it gets beat to death. We have several different authors attack the very same subject and for the most part attain the same results in the end. If I stop and take a look at my personal library, there are an insane number of books about Mickey Mantle and Joe Di Maggio. It makes it hard to figure out what is the real truth on either of them.
As far as the 1951 season goes we have seen a few books from different authors. While they attempt to each provide their own spin on the events of that year, unfortunately, it is impossible to. This is in no way a reflection on this book's author, it is just the reality that this book falls into a very crowded playing field. It reminds me of the old politician saying that we may be saying the same thing, but you haven't heard me say it yet.
While each of these books offers essentially the same thing, each writer has a different style that may appeal to different readers. So choose wisely, or if you are familiar with that authors previous work and enjoyed it, stick with that version. I was hoping we could get to the point where some authors would find something different and give us some new revelations, but I think that ship may have finally sailed.
If this book is one that might capture your interest on the 1951 season, you can get it from the nice folks at Triumph Books.

Inventing Baseball Heroes
As I sit here and recover from surgery, I remember this is the week that my wife and I were going to be crisscrossing the country catching our baseball games at various stadiums. It is somewhat depressing thinking about what could have been, but it is on the back burner for next year and hopefully without any unforeseen issues. The time off recovering has forced me to read more and allowed me to catch up on some of my posts. I have been able to look at some varying topics as of late and found a very interesting, off the beaten path topic for today's book.
Inventing Baseball Heroes takes a look at how the media picks a certain player and uses their skills to fulfill a certain agenda. That agenda is creating hero worship for certain players within the game. This book centers on the early twentieth century and shows how the media helped make certain baseball players household names.
The book is looking at a different time in the world of media. The two main forms at that time were Newspapers and Radio. Through the use if these mediums the writers were able to promote their agendas in making certain players seem larger than life. Their exploits on the field were magnetized to an audience that was looking for new heroes.
The down side to the public looking for heroes was the fact that it allowed journalists of that period to blur the line between fact and fiction. Call it creative license if you want, but it leads me back to the old saying of never let the truth stand in the way of a good story. With reporting being what it was during that time period, you really have to wonder how much of what we accept as truth now is actually accurate.
Throughout the history of baseball and more precisely through each generation, you can see players who were regarded as both the clear and concise hero and one who was the clear and concise villain. These players are easily identifiable, and in more current times during the steroid era, some players have been on both sides of that line, again blurring the definition of hero and villain
Amber Roessner does a very nice job of looking at the actions of the media during the formative years of baseball as we all know it. It makes you wonder how much of what we accept as historical fact in the game is actually generated from the imagination of the media. It is something that one can clearly see continuing throughout the history of the game as the generations have passed on.
If you have any interest in the early media coverage of the game you should check this book out. It shows how our game was shaped in the eyes of our society. It also shows to some extent how we as an American society look to our heroes for guidance on how to act in our world.

The Great Baseball Revolt-The Rise and Fall of the 1890 Players League
If you look at baseball history as a whole, it encompasses a large amount of time. Thousands of people and events are all part of the greater story for thousands of reasons. Some of those events get lost to the passage of time, and rightly so. Just because an event happened does not mean it had any significance to the history of the game itself, it was just the action within the game. Some events have been suppressed from the history books, for selfish reasons by those involved. Today's book takes a look at one of those events and how they helped shape the game as it now known.
Robert Ross has done some heavy lifting with producing this book. He takes a look at the 1890 Players League that was formed as a rival league to the existing National League. It offered better salaries and player shares of ownership to play in the league. This was in contrast to the business dealings of the National league already in existence. It also allowed the Players League to outdraw the Nationals by the end of the season. It is a valuable history lesson and shows the power the players have always had and what ownership would like to keep quiet.
This is truly one of the earliest player labor organization movements in the history of the game. They organized, had some backers and on most fronts were a success. While their success was for only one year, it shows the powers that the players held and what obstacles they could overcome if they worked together. In the end it was the fact that National League owners inflated their attendance numbers and cooked their books to the point that it made the Players League look inept. In the end that was the main downfall of the Players League.
After this failure the Owners held the upper hand for generations and the formation of the Major League Baseball Players Association almost 75 years later was the first real inroad the players made toward leveling the field with Ownership. This is where it would have been a benefit to former players to be students of the game. If they realized they held the power and had banned together sooner, they could have realized better pay and individual rights sooner than they had. This whole theory could have changed the way free agency came about and would have revolutionized the entire game sooner.
If you have any interest in the labor side of baseball, or rival league history this book would be a good choice for you. Yes it happened over a century ago, but it definitely is something that could have changed the direction labor relations took over the past 115 years. This is one of those history lessons ownership to this day would like to under cover. Because even today some of these principles could be used to the players benefit.

Greatness in the Shadows
There are injustices throughout the history of baseball that people have tried to remedy with varying degrees of success. Integration was a major injustice on several levels that has been addressed within baseball. While it has not been conquered on all levels, at least on the playing field it went as planned. We are all familiar with the story of Jackie Robinson and Branch Rickey integrating the National League and being racial pioneers within the game. But what about the first player on the American League side? Today's book takes a look at what transpired for the second racial pioneer in the game Larry Doby, and why he never got the respect, attention or praise that Jackie Robinson received only a few weeks prior.
For me it is easy to understand why Larry Doby is not given as many pioneering accolades as Jackie Robinson, he was #2. Yes he was the first in The American League, but was second under the umbrella that was Major League Baseball at the time. No matter what the sport, being number two is never any good. People only care about the first at whatever it is, so that was a major reason as to why Doby never got as much press at the time. He also was in Cleveland instead of being in New York, a city with three teams which was just coming into its own golden era in the late 1940's. That factor alone is a big reason why many players got the coverage from the media that they did. Doby could have been in Boise, Idaho and people could not have cared any less than they did when he was in Cleveland. Also his relationship with owner Bill Veeck could have hindered press coverage of his career because of the disdain the other owners and the old boys network had for old sport shirt Bill. These are just some of my ideas that I have had for a while and the book tries to prove some of these, but unfortunately does not make the grade.
Author Douglas Branson is a self proclaimed Larry Doby fan. Finding both Doby and baseball at an early age he always felt that Doby had been slighted by the baseball gods and the media. For various reasons I stated above he seems to want to try and prove these points through his research and other peoples writings. He like to quote a lot of others peoples books in trying to make his case on the above points. That method to me just felt lazy in the research of the book. He also quotes earlier pages in the same book you are currently reading, which at times was driving me nuts. It disrupted the flow of the book and was repetitive as well.
Factually, this book had several flaws as well. I am not sure if it an editing fault in which the person doing it did not have a strong baseball knowledge, or if the editors felt the author's facts were correct due to his vast self proclaimed baseball knowledge. Either way there are several factual errors within the book. Names, places and events were all part of the problem. There were so many errors it was embarrassing. So many, that even the outside back cover where other authors tell you how great the book you are reading is, contained errors. Usually from this publisher we see fewer errors and this book really surprised me on that front.
As hard as I tried I couldn't find any redeeming qualities about this Larry Doby volume. I really wanted this to be a good biography, since so few exist. If you are one of those people that have to read any new book that contains anything about Larry Doby or the Cleveland Indians, then no matter what my final synopsis is you will still check it out. But in all honestly, save your money on this, it is so riddled with errors and factual mistakes that it brings into question the entire body of work.
I think there has always been a shortage of Larry Doby material on the market, but this is not the direction it needs to take. We need a quality Doby biography that is factually correct, and gives the man the respect he has deserved for decades.

Jackie Robinson In Quotes
Jackie Robinson's legacy is well known, so there is no need for me to lay it out there for everyone. Perhaps he has had the single greatest social impact on the game during his life and after it as well. Regardless of his legacy, Jackie Robinson has had a serious amount of articles and books written about him. Danny Peary has put together a book that is a compilation of Jackie Robinson quotes. It introduces a new and interesting way to see the profound impact Robinson made on the game.
Danny Peary's book follows a unique path as far as a book goes. The format falls in line with his other book Derek Jeter In Quotes. Both of the books paint an interesting picture of their subjects. The Jackie Robinson volume draws from books, player and manager interviews, newspaper articles, historians and some quotes from Jackie himself. It allows the author to show a more intimate portrait of Robinson that a simple one dimension biography is unable to display.
Danny Peary's books are always enjoyable to read and this one is no exception. The other books he has collaborated on are thoroughly researched and the subjects are accurately portrayed to the reader. This book is no exception to his past works and the new format he has with the quotes make it a very enjoyable read. You get both a feel for Robinson as well as the person making the quote. So in essence you are getting more than one perspective in this format.
I said it about the Derek Jeter In Quotes book and it carries true on the Jackie Robinson volume as well, this is a welcome change from the standard baseball player autobiography. Quite honestly when you read several different books in a year, you embrace a change and really enjoy something out of the ordinary. Fans should check this out because I can almost guarantee if you think you know everything about Jackie Robinson, you don't. This book will surely give you some new information to add to your Jackie Robinson arsenal. Check it out I do not think you will be disappointed.

Shameful Victory-The L.A. Dodgers, the Red Scare and the Hidden History of Chavez Ravine
The more books I read, the more I think almost everybody is a baseball fan. It seems to touch everyone on some level and if they chose to admit it or not, is their prerogative. I have come across books in the past with an agenda of a very serious topic that also has some sort of baseball spin to them. These books usually put on display a great social injustice in a specific area, but to date I have not come across one that spells out the governmental backstabbing one specific community had to endure. Today's book was found by a recommendation from a Facebook friend (thanks Debby!) and I was not disappointed in the least.
This books intended audience I believe was not to be considered a baseball book. Its original purpose was to show the social injustice that the Mexican community had to endure at the hands of the Los Angeles city government. Essentially they destroyed a tight knit community in the name of social progress and urban development. Change like that was to some degree inevitable in every big city during the post World War II era and Los Angeles was no exception. By destroying the Chavez Ravine community the city created numerous economic and social disasters that plagued that area for decades.
Most of the property the city claimed was through short purchase and eminent domain in the name of housing developments. In the end those housing developments never came to be, and the land was eventually used for other purposes. In case you haven't figured it out, this is where the Dodgers come in to play and acquired their space to build Dodger Stadium. It shows the numerous back room deals that benefited Walter O' Malley and the Dodgers franchise, all while backstabbing a community. It really shows the darker side of moving baseball to the west coast.
The book is a very thoughtful and insightful case study of Los Angeles politics during this time period. It also shows the scarier side of city politics and how as fans we don't always see the dark side of the baseball business dealings. The book is not entirely a baseball product, but it does have enough content to hold a fans interest throughout the entire book . For those who think Walter O'Malley was a hero for bringing baseball west may really want to check this book out, because it really sheds a different light on the entire process.

I'm going through a lot of my personal belongings these days, since it appears that a move is in mine and Angela's future. Through the years, I've accumulated a lot of stuff. One of the things that moving forces me to do is to decide which stuff means so much to me that I'm willing to move it with me. A good deal of stuff doesn't make the cut, but instead ends up at the Clothing Bank or Goodwill. The rest of it ends up in the trash.
I'm down to a very few things from my childhood. There's my baby Bible that Mom passed to me a few years ago, a puzzle my Dad bought me that is a map of Israel under King David. There's also a knife from my Grandfather, and a little toy brought to me when I was a six-year-old in the hospital. The toy came attached to a Get Well card, hand delivered by my Sunday School teacher, Mrs. Pearl Keith. That toy has been with me for over 50 years now. I take it out and I smile. A woman who taught me about the love of Jesus showed me the love of Jesus when I was recovering from surgery and was bandaged up like a mummy.
Fifty years is a long time to remember an act of love. But it will stay with me for a lifetime. My Sunday School teacher cared about me. Next time you're asking yourself "Is what I do for the Church really making no a difference?" remember a little boy and the impact it made on his life.
See you Sunday. What we do here matters.

The Sonnbichl hotel is a little out of the main village area of St.Anton but it is well worth a visit as it is one of the very best places to eat. The food is wonderful (No.1 Restaurant in St.Anton with trip advisor!) with many traditional Austrian dishes on the menu. There are two dining areas both of which are very cosy and in the fashion of an old farmhouse parlor. Lots of wood panelling and subtle lighting make this a lovely place to enjoy a romantic evening. There is an excellent wine list with prices per bottle around the 25 – 30 euro mark. To get to the Sonnbichl you should head along the road between Nasserein and St.Jakob and the hotel is on your left. It is about a 20 minute walk from St.Anton centre so it is probably best to take a taxi – well worth the cost! You will certainly have to book several days in advance! The address is St.Jakober Dorfstrasse 11, St.Jakob, Tel: 0043 5446 2243
Cost wise this restaurant is "Middle"

The Gospel According to Applewhite / A bit of Theosophy, a bit of X-Files, a bit from the Book of Revelation -- the mix-and-match theology of the Heaven's Gate cult had antecedents everywhere
Trying to unravel the eclectic beliefs of Marshall Herff Applewhite is like visiting a schizoid supermarket of spiritualism, pop culture and twisted theology.
For 25 years, Applewhite and the co-founder of Heaven's Gate, Bonnie Lou Nettles, borrowed material from sources as diverse as "Star Trek" reruns and the Book of Revelation.
As everyone knows by now, Applewhite's followers believed the Hale-Bopp comet was followed by a spacecraft coming to whisk them off to heaven. Their 39 bodies, dressed in black pants and Nike shoes, were discovered 10 days ago under triangular purple shrouds in a Southern California mansion.
And for the past 10 days, cult- watchers and religion scholars have been struggling to understand the Gospel According to Applewhite, to decode the occult catechism he and his computer-savvy followers left behind on the World Wide Web.
Applewhite, the son of a Presbyterian minister, met Nettles, a nurse and astrologer, in a Texas hospital in 1972. One version of the story says Applewhite was hospitalized for heart trouble and had a "near death" experience. Another says Applewhite checked into a psychiatric hospital to have himself "cured" of homosexuality.
Either way, Applewhite and Nettles struck up a platonic partnership based on their common interests in astrology, channeling, reincarnation and Christian mysticism.
Nettles was already involved in Theosophy, a spiritualist movement founded in the 19th century by Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, a Russian-born mystic.
Blavatsky envisioned a magical universe of disembodied spirits of white light and a Great White Brotherhood of "ascended masters." Her work inspired countless other spiritualists, people who believe they can make psychic contact with the dead.
Succeeding Blavatsky in the Theosophy movement was Englishwoman Annie Besant, who died in 1933. Besant coined the term "New Age" to describe a coming era of peace and blessedness.
When Applewhite and Nettles met, she was an astrologer and spiritualist who claimed to have psychic contact with "Brother Francis," a Franciscan monk who died in 1818.
"Herb Applewhite supplied the Christianity and Bonnie Nettles supplied the spiritualism," said Robert Balch, a University of Montana sociologist who studied the cult's early years.
"They were influenced by a lot of New Age ideas, and by esoteric interpretations of the Book of Revelation," Balch said. "It was a blend of stuff. They added UFOs as they went along."
In 1972, the couple opened a short-lived metaphysical bookstore, the Christian Arts Center, at the First Unitarian Church in downtown Houston, where Applewhite worked as music director.
Within a year, Applewhite and Nettles were referring to themselves as the "two witnesses" mentioned in Revelation 11:3 -- "And I will grant my two witnesses authority to prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, wearing sackcloth."
In the early 1970s, Applewhite wrote years later, he and Nettles were "two unsuspecting humans in Houston" who were incarnated by space aliens and transformed into "Bo" and "Peep," two shepherds from the Kingdom of Heaven.
"They consciously recognized that they were sent from space to do a task that had something to do with the Bible," he wrote.
Around 1975, Bo and Peep discovered that adding UFOs to the mix was a great way to attract both religious followers and the attention of the news media.
They hit the road, looking for a crew to join them aboard a spacecraft that would take them off to the "next evolutionary level."
Local newspapers, including The Chronicle, covered their appearances around the country. When 20 of them mysteriously "disappeared" from a small Oregon town in 1975, the "UFO cult" briefly became a national story.
They later reappeared in Colorado, and popped up in campgrounds around the Midwest, but the media had lost interest in "Bo" and "Peep." They would soon drop off the radar screen, lingering in relative obscurity for two decades.
Nettles died of cancer in 1985, many followers fell away, but a remnant of devotees remained under Applegate's control.
"What's different about this group is the number of years they were underground and intensely brainwashed," said Janja Lalich, who runs the Cult Recovery and Information Center in Alameda.
Lalich is now counseling two families with former members from Heaven's Gate.
"They had their identities stripped away," she said. "They went around for months with hoods on and couldn't see each other. They had to stay in pairs. They had to engage in self-criticism. There were periods when they couldn't sleep for more than four hours. There were strange diets. They took on new names."
When the bodies of Applewhite and 38 followers were found dead in Rancho Santa Fe, Kevin Lewis was deep into his research on a book about UFO cults.
"As UFO cults go, Heaven's Gate was relatively small and obscure," said Lewis, a professor of theology at Biola University in Los Angeles. "Actually, it's more accurate to call them 'extraterrestrial cults' as the idea of a spaceship isn't always involved."
According to Lewis, the largest of these groups is the Urantia Foundation, which is based in Chicago and has been active since the 1950s. He estimates that it has about 5,000 members worldwide.
Its Bible is the 2,100-page Urantia Book, a 1955 collection of writings compiled by William Sadler, a Spiritualist-influenced writer who died in 1968.
Urantia teaches that its writings were commissioned by extraterrestrial beings from across the universe. They purport to be a retelling of cosmic history, and redefine the role that Jesus plays in human salvation.
Tom Burns, vice president of the Urantia Foundation, said in a prepared statement that his organization has no connection with Heaven's Gate, UFOs, cults, nor "the advocacy of suicide."
Nevertheless, Lewis said many UFO and ET cults have a common story about "a space brother from an alien race, someone more highly evolved than we humans, who comes to Earth to give us new information."
Both Heaven's Gate and Urantia, Lewis said, attempt a "reinterpretation of Christianity that takes away the uniqueness of Jesus Christ."
Lewis sees these groups as a modern revival of early Christian "Gnostics," or "knowers," who claimed to have secret knowledge, but were condemned by the early Christian church. Gnostics saw the material world as evil, Lewis said, and themselves trapped in unwanted bodies.
"Gnostics saw Jesus as a human who was energized for his ministry by some kind of spirit," said Lewis.
Heaven's Gate followers had a similar idea -- that space beings came upon Jesus at the time of his baptism.
Applewhite compared himself to Jesus Christ, claiming he was incarnated 2,000 years later by those space beings.
To Lewis, Heaven's Gate's ideas about the body help explain their decision to commit mass suicide.
"Most people have a natural fear of death, " Lewis said. "But if you see salvation as leaving the body, you can see suicide as a spiritual option, as a way to salvation."
At the same time, he added, Heaven's Gate teachings don't really make sense. "Why kill the physical body if you plan to climb aboard a physical UFO?" Lewis asked.
In 1988, Applewhite wrote his own history of the group, entitled "The UFO Two and Their Crew." In it, he condemned as satanic the very philosophies he and Nettles had used to concoct their own mix- and-match theology.
"One of the major tools of Lucifer is the New Age movement -- Theosophy, Ascended Masters, channeling, Eastern religions, mysticism, yoga, Christ consciousness within, and the 'Ye are God' concept," Applewhite wrote. "All are a fantasy and a trap."
Heaven's Gate resurfaced in the 1990s with an advertising blitz, a Web page and a final cross- country tour. "Bo" and "Peep" were now "Ti" and "Do," a reference to notes on a musical scale.
Although Nettles had died years before, she continued to play a major role in the cult's teachings. There were hints that the group hoped to be reunited with "T" aboard the spacecraft tailing the Hale-Bopp comet.
Now, however, Applewhite's message was darker, more apocalyptic. Heaven's Gate attracted few new members.
In 1993, Applewhite issued his "final offer" to anyone who wanted to join them. No one seemed to be listening to him anymore. Earth was doomed, he wrote, because "its inhabitants are refusing to evolve."
In its final years, the cult seemed to be preparing for a physical battle against the forces of evil. Before moving to San Diego County, they built a huge concrete and earth fortress in the mountains south of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Last week, police discovered that the cultists had a cache of weapons in an Escondido storage locker.
Applewhite was sounding more and more paranoid, feeling more and more persecuted. "Luciferian" space creatures were conspiring with the government. He compared Heaven's Gate's situation with that of David Koresh and the Branch Davidians, the apocalyptic Christian sect that a few years earlier battled federal agents before their Waco, Texas, compound erupted in a blazing inferno.
Carl Raschke, a professor of religious studies at the University of Denver, called the teachings of Heaven's Gate "X-Files theology."
"Applewhite saw himself as Jesus Christ engaged in covert action," Raschke said. "They used mainstream Biblical beliefs about the second coming and the rapture so people with a basic Christian mind-set would be sucked into their space-age version of the Book of Revelation."
Millennialism (from the Latin word for 1,000) comes from the Book of Revelation, the bizarre visionary conclusion of the New Testament -- a book written at a time when Christians were being fed to the lions and used as human torches by the Roman Emperor Nero.
This Revelation, or Apocalypse, describes a final, horrible battle between the forces of good and evil. Satan is thrown into a bottomless pit, and Christian martyrs are raised from the dead to reign with Christ for 1,000 years.
It's a text that has fascinated the persecuted and the paranoid for nearly 2,000 years. Countless Christians and non-Christians have tried to decipher the Book of Revelation, looking for clues about when and how human history will end and how something new will rise from the ashes.
Some religion scholars say the approach of the year 2000 has brought a new wave of doomsday cults.
Raschke is not so sure.
"Everyone's talking about millennial cults, but I'm getting a little jaded," he said. "Heaven's Gate has a lot more to do with Hale-Bopp than it does with the year 2000."
Other cult-watchers point out that the Heaven's Gate suicides were conducted in the days leading up to Good Friday, which marks the crucifixion of Jesus. It was also the same week of a total lunar eclipse and the peak of the Hale-Bopp comet.
Lewis noted the color of the cult's death shrouds, purple, is often associated with Passion Week, when Christians remember Jesus Christ's last days on Earth.
Their triangular shape is often seen in the New Age movement and among UFO groups as a reference to the Egyptian pyramids -- and to the speculation that space aliens helped build them.
Lalich, the cult counselor from Alameda, sees little value in poring over the pages upon pages of convoluted doctrine Applewhite and his followers posted on the World Wide Web.
"It's typical of UFO cults, a mishmash of stuff, a great mystical gobbledygook," she said. "It's all part of putting people in a trance by not being able to figure out the ideology."
Lalich sees more of an explanation in the sexual insecurities of Marshall Herff Applewhite, who was reportedly fired from two jobs because of his homosexuality and later had himself castrated in an apparent effort to control himself.
What speaks volumes about Heaven's Gate, Lalich said, is the fact that other male cultists were so brainwashed that they followed suit and mutilated their own bodies -- known as "vehicles" in the cult's parlance.
Or, as Applewhite explained on the World Wide Web:
"Some in the class have chosen on their own to have their vehicles neutered in order to sustain a more genderless and objective consciousness."
TWAIN, COMETS AND THE COST OF ETERNITYWhat role did Mark Twain play in the closing chapter of the Heaven's Gate cult?
Bufo Calvin, a contributing editor to "Strange" magazine and creator of the "Bufo's Weird World" newsletter, thinks he has an explanation for one of the strange tidbits surrounding the sect's attempted rendezvous with the Hale-Bopp comet.
According to sheriff's deputies, some of the deceased cult members had a $5 bill and three quarters in their shirt pockets.
"Twain was very cynical about religion, and once wrote that the fare to get to heaven on the tail of a comet was $5.75," Calvin says.
Efforts to confirm the quote with several Twain experts proved unsuccessful as The Chronicle went to press.
Nevertheless, Twain did feel a certain affinity with another celebrated celestial event -- Halley's Comet.
Halley's Comet appeared in 1835, the year Twain was born, and appeared again in 1910, the year he died. Twain wrote of Halley's Comet in 1909:
"It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.' "
One more footnote: Heaven's Gate members were devoted fans of the "Star Trek" TV show, which has featured a Mark Twain character on several of its episodes.

Craig briefs: Scholarships available for high school seniors
The Yampa Valley Community Foundation now has an online application for its scholarships offered to high school seniors in Routt and Moffat counties.
Scholarship criteria and the link to the application can be found at http://www.yvcf.org/scholarships. Email email@example.com for more information.
Scam alert issued for all YVEA members
We have received several calls from members alerting us that they have received calls from people fictitiously representing Yampa Valley Electric Association. The people are telling members that they have not received payment for their November bill and power will be disconnected if a payment is not received. This is a scam. The number from caller ID is 866-373-4410 and when called is answered as "Disconnection Department." This is a not a legal or recognized representative of YVEA. If you receive a call of this nature, call your local police department or YVEA at 970-879-1160 and report it. Remember to never give personal or bank information to unknown parties.
YVMC presents April Lactation Conference
In partnership with Colorado WIC, Yampa Valley Medical Center will present a two-day conference for health care professionals to help equip them to effectively assess and manage lactation challenges in expectant mothers, breastfeeding women and nursing infants. The two-day, low-cost regional trainings will provide up-to-date, evidence-based, clinically relevant information. Professionals can find more information and register for one or both days online at http://www.teachsourceinc.com. Dr. M. Neifert will be the presenter.
The following health care professionals are invited to attend: primary care physicians and resident physicians; mid-level practitioners (PAs, NPs, CNMs); nurses (hospital, office, community and public health nurses who work with mother-baby pairs); lactation consultants and breastfeeding counselors; Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children staff (RDs, RNs, educators, breastfeeding peer counselors); childbirth and breastfeeding educators; and other health workers who care for pregnant women.
CPW warns to keep dogs from wildlife
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is issuing a warning to people whose dogs chase wildlife: Keep them under control and away from deer, elk and other wild animals, or face the possibility of steep fines and the loss of a beloved pet.
Dogs that chase wild animals can cause them extreme stress and injuries from bites, wildlife officials said.
By late winter, many big game animals susceptible to dog harassment are pregnant females. As they run to escape, deer and elk expend crucial energy that can lead to an increase in the mortality rate of the animals or their unborn calves and fawns.
To report any instance of dogs chasing wildlife, the public can call the local Colorado Parks and Wildlife office or Colorado State Patrol. In Colorado, the fine for knowingly or negligently allowing a dog to harass wildlife is $274, including surcharges.
CDOT asks Coloradans to drive distraction-free
In recognition and support of the National Safety Council's designation of April as "Distracted Driving Awareness Month," the Colorado Department of Transportation is launching a new campaign focused on the notion that a sending a text message while driving is like wearing a five-second blindfold, according to a CDOT press release.
CDOT and the NSC remind everyone this April to combat distracted driving by doing the following:
■ Put your cellphone out of reach while driving to reduce the temptation to pick it up.
■ Recognize that hands-free devices offer little safety benefit, as they distract from your brain's ability to multitask.
■ Understand the dangers of cognitive distraction to the brain.
■ Be vocal with family, friends and co-workers about the dangers of distracted driving.
There are many statistics surrounding this issue, including the fact that with each text sent or received, a driver's eyes are diverted from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds — enough time to drive the length of a football field at 55 mph — blindfolded.
Meeker to host Carson and Barnes Circus
Ticket sales for the circus will begin in the coming weeks. The event will take place from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. May 21 in Meeker. More information will become available later this month.
The Carson and Barnes Circus has been on the road for 80 seasons this year. It is the largest tented show in the United States, traveling approximately 230 days each year, playing two shows in each town every day.
For more information or to buy tickets, call 970-878-5510.
