1955 -- "Rebel" film star James Dean dies on Hiway 101 when his Porsche crashes. East of Eden is out, but Rebel Without A Cause, & Giant not even released yet.
Just a correction on the location of James Dean's fatal wreck. It was at the intersection of what is now highways 41 & 46 ( 41 & 466 then ) at Cholame, California, not highway 101. He was 25 miles away from 101 & would have taken that road. Dean was on his way from LA to Monterey to race his Porsche.
Most people think it was Dean's fault, probably due to speed, & he did get a speeding ticket earlier that day, but police at the scene don't believe he was speeding at the time. Besides, his aluminum Porsche was no match for a big heavy Ford. This is a Y intersection, & Dean had the right of way. He was headed west on 466 into the setting sun & didn't see the approaching Ford, the Ford driver probably didn't see the silver Porsche, & turned left in front of Dean onto 41 toward Kettleman City. No time to stop. I've been to that location.

1960 -- US: On Howdy Doody's last TV show Clarabelle finally talks: "Goodbye Kids."

Oxford Town in the afternoon
Ev'rybody singin' a sorrowful tune
Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon
Somebody better investigate soon
Oxford Town, Oxford Town
Ev'rybody's got their heads bowed down
The sun don't shine above the ground
Ain't a-goin' down to Oxford Town
Bob Dylan
H ere's to the state of Mississippi
For underneath her borders the devil draws no line
If you drag her muddy rivers, nameless bodies you will find
Oh, the fat trees of the forest have hid a thousand crimes
The calendar is lying when it reads the present time
Oh, here's to the land you've torn out the heart of
Mississippi, find yourself another country to be part of!
Phil Ochs
And I've never done no harm that I can see.
Yet on me they put a ban, they would throw me in the can,
They go wild, simply wild, over me.
Oh, the manager he went wild over me.
When I went one afternoon & sat for tea.
He was breathin' mighty hard, when his pleas I'd disregard,
He went wild, simply wild, over me.
Candie Anderson [Carawan]
Music has many functions, worship included. But one of its primary roles is its ability to move people.

My looong journey of physical recovery has concluded..I think.
Seven long years in the making since my spinal injury occurred in 2009 as a result of a drunken driver with two children in the car, smashing into my car's rear end whilst I was stationary. Chronic fatigue, chronic pain, financial stress, situational depression...I experienced this for a looong time. Wrong medication, inadequate medication...finally after some years tolerating chronic pain that I assumed the GP prescribed the correct dose of medication for, I discovered different medication and a stronger dose of existing medication was needed. I was a practising Occupational Therapist then in the public service, so I guess I just 'toughed it out' because of my occupation too.
Bottom line: Get another medical opinion and/or a medication review urgently, and don't suffer ongoing, chronic pain unnecessarily.
It's now 2016/17 and I feel almost physically 'normal' now. Almost. I'm not superhuman any more but I'm happy with that. I just don't clean the house as thoroughly any more...Pre accident I dusted weekly, mopped twice weekly, vacuumed weekly and cleaned the house windows every month, inside and out. Not any more. The 4 kids tell me they didn't really appreciate being yelled at for not cleaning their rooms every week. They like the new 'lived in messy look' of our house. It's an 'Artists' Den', aka very messy house. Now when I call myself an artist, husband Daz calls me a bullshit type of artist, but that's ok too. Basic things are cleaned such as beds, clothes, people and things we eat from. If I have time I mop the kitchen/toilet weekly and vacuum, but I don't clean all the bedrooms weekly. I now work full time again, so I'm doing well. I now run a small, humble post office.
Once I started to physically and emotionally recover, I could see the world with open eyes again. I realised that the simple things that started this business - with me spending my spare time carving soap and wax positives, making silicone moulds and selling soap base that helped my son's eczema - were the things that gave me satisfaction. I posted pictures of all my new moulds that I made, shared messages from my friends in China and shared photos of my family history with the world. People wanted 'reality based' online interaction, and soon the little original Southern Skies Soap Supplies' 'Moonfruit' hosted mini website became very, very busy with online visitors. I made mistakes though. When I first started this business, I had soooo many followers and daily emails with requests for new products and I became too obsessive with selling online, tried to sell everything to everyone, started to sell goods in larger sizes and then learnt that I could not do that effectively with spinal injury. I had decided to dive head first into online selling full time, since working from home was easier than working for an employer, with 4 young children. Selling soap supplies became my livelihood and it meant that I survived for quite a few years financially - all thanks to soap.
In the meantime, I had lost any motivation to participate in any hobby, due to pain. I started to wonder where the 'real me' had disappeared to, for the last seven years. I did a lot of soul searching. I questioned every decision I had ever made, throughout my whole life. I looked for answers in deep, dark, faraway places. I questioned my spirituality - am I a Pagan, a Buddhist or a Christian? (I'm just a 'non conforming Christian' actually, with 'multi dimensional' spiritual beliefs omg). I had to make a conscious, very determined effort to find myself again, and recover my hidden hobbies and umm artistic 'talents', if you could call them that! It's actually a LOT harder than you may think. Did I still want to be an Occupational Therapist? Did I want to be a full time online soap seller or was that a stupid idea? Why did I go to Uni if all I do is sell soap online? The truth is, as long as I'm around people and helping them, then I'm pretty happy. My life is a big learning curve on an enormous, unpredictable ride - and I've learnt now that I like it that way. I valued my 'old life' which was secure and predictable as an Occupational Therapist...but have now realised that personal growth and new experiences, (as bad as they are!) is what makes us develop and progress as individuals, on many different levels. Oh and I discovered in 2015 that I love selling soap at local markets. I will try to participate in some more markets in the future - people like to engage with other like minded people (instead of an online only interface) and I like to talk, so that works well.
During this journey, I have also learnt that I would like to 'recover' my original focus for my business - soap base and soap moulds. So whilst some of you may look at my website for the first time and not notice anything new, others have been shopping with me since the beginning...and there have been many, many changes on the website lately, due to me refocusing my motivation and business ideas.
Yay, it's summer time, which means wax carving and moulding time. Oooh the beeswax is melting outside on the stove top and the scouts are buzzing around looking for a new camp for their Queen. Hello bee friends! you really wouldn't believe just how glad I am to see you guys again...for this year anyway, I am very, very relieved to see bees buzzing around the wax pot.
Ooohh nooooo, don't nose dive into the pot again, you did that 7 years ago and we both know how that ended...I have to dig your body parts out when my wax cools. Welcome to my world.

Welcome to users of BLAG and all other Linux distributions, Weyasey hope we can be of help to all who need assistance with the use of Linux and other Open Source Software.
We will aim to provide information on all areas associated with the use of Open Source Operating Systems and applications. As you might have deduced by now there is a variant of Linux called BLAG, which has been my favorite distro for several years. BLAG is closely associated with the Open Source organisation "Free Software Foundation" who have kindly provided the server on which the BLAG development is maintained, the FSF strictly adheres to the ideals that all software should be published under the GPL license. For this reason BLAG is distributed without any installed proprietary software or firmware thus confirming our status as a "Free Open Source Linux Distro" . The latest version of BLAG is available and can be downloaded from here or from the link Download BLAG OS under Blogroll, these are live iso images so you can try it on your system by burning a CD or make a bootable USB disk and if you like it, then install it to hard disk.
I have installed Blag-140K on two of my Thinkpads a T23 and a X61s, both are working but I am still in the process of getting them set up for my personal preferences. Because I sometime use the X61s for my job it has to have the tools that I need to work as an IT professional, there are also applications that I need for recreation and entertainment hence my wife now use it for her computing needs.
Also have Blag-160K on a Thinkpad X60 which my partner use and is running extremely well a Thinkpad X61 that is running Blag-200K Alpha which is working flawless and a Thinkpad X220 with BLAG-200000-x86_64-MATE-Alpha.iso this is the main machine that I use everyday for work and entertainment.
Although I have installed Blag-140K-x86_64 to hard disk on the X61s, I have to confess to using a spare hard disk and keeping my original installation hard disk drive safe (just until I get the new installation as it should be). Well this is how we should treat all our precious data "Back It Up" to avoid the wailing and gnashing of those pearly whites.
There is also a Clonzilla backup of the entire system residing safely on another storage device which means I can back up and running in a few hours should there be an accident or some sudden rush of blood to my crazy head, when I'm wielding that big sharp axe called "rm" carelessly if you get my drift.
As stated before, the aim is to provide some help to users of Linux so will post some howtos on getting my system to the state which is perfect for my all round laptop for work and relaxation.

The Roaring Girl - Mistress Gallipot
Added Aug 25, 2011
by paffx
Wellington, New ...
A project for my school's production of "The Roaring Girl" (http://www.toiwhakaari.ac.nz/the-roaring-girl/) in which we were given two costumes to construct. I was given Mistress Gallipot and Neatfoot. Unfortunately I don't really do the costumes justice – I will be adding photos of them being worn by their rightful actors as soon as I get my hands on them. :) (Hopefully I'll also get pictures of all the underlayers also).
Mistress Gallipot consists of –
a bumroll
a farthingale
a petticoat
a button down dress with a collar stand
a wrap around apron with bound edges and pockets
and a handmade ruff which attaches to the collar.
Material Notes
quilting, stuffing, calico, cotton blends, lace, buttons, some kind of air-conditioning-fan-heavy-material for the ruff?

Lebanon Man Sentenced For Unlawful Possession Of Explosives
The United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, Stephen R. Wigginton, announced today that Thomas Lee Stanton, 18, of Lebanon, Illinois, was sentenced in United States District Court in East St. Louis to 30 months in prison, to be followed by 3 years of supervised release, a $200 fine, and a $100 special assessment for the charge of unlawfully possessing destructive devices.
"Remember that these devices, despite the name, could maim or kill anyone nearby. Clearly, the Court was sending a message that there is no reason to fool with do-it-yourself explosive devices." said United States Attorney Wigginton.
Stanton had previously admitted that on April 17, 2013, he possessed destructive devices including four "cricket" bombs, two Molotov cocktails, and other explosive making materials. Evidence at sentencing indicated that Stanton had hoarded and concealed other bomb-making components. Stanton had also made racist writings in his journals and school notes.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Illinois State Police, the St. Clair County Sheriff's Department, the O'Fallon Police Department, the Lebanon Police Department, the Illinois Secretary of State Police Bomb Squad, the Scott Air Force Base Explosive Ordnance Disposal K-9 Unit, and O'Fallon Township High School Security Officers. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Liam Coonan.

Rube Oldring
When Connie Mack built his first dynasty, reaching the World Series in 1910, 1911, 1913 and 1914, the $100,000 infield is usually the first mentioned aspect of the dynasty. If it is not the infield then it may be the pitching of Chief Bender, Andy Coakley, Jack Coombs and Eddie Plank. Often overlooked is outfielder Rube Oldring. Not a Hall of Fame player, Oldring patroled the outfield for 12 years for Mack's white elephants. It is clear to say that Oldring played a pivotal role in the success of the A's. But before he played for Philadelphia he started with the New York Highlanders in 1905. In October of that year the A's selected Oldring as part of the Rule 5 draft and Mack cheaply added an important cog of the machine. As Mack's finances took a dip following the 1915 and 1916 seasons his powerful group was slowly dismantled. Oldring was released in July of 1916 and quickly signed by the New York Yankees where he finished the season.
Ira Thomas
Just like Rube Oldring, Ira Thomas was an under rated part of Connie Mack's dynasty. As the A's were dominating the American League, Thomas was behind the plate controlling the pitchers. Thomas played 7 years for Mack but before he became an Athletic he started with the Yankees. In 1906 and 1907 he was the backup Catcher to Red Kleinow. He was sold to the Tigers for the 1908 season where he backed up Boss Schmidt. He was then sold to the A's where he made his name as one of the best Catcher's in the league.
Joe Gedeon
Joe Gedeon had a relatively short career. He played only 7 years in the major leagues, his final three with the St. Louis Browns. He was an average player, his final season being his best. What he is remembered for most is the reason that 1920 was his final season. It seems that the year before, say around October, Gedeon was given some "advice". He was told by a good friend, Hal Chase, that it would be wise to bet against the Chicago White Sox in the World Series of 1919. He was given some specific details why he should bet that way and as a result he made some extra money. When Charles Comiskey offered a reward for any information regarding the rumors of a fix, Gedeon stepped forward hoping to get the reward. His reward was that he was banned from the game the same as Chase and the Black Sox. Before he became the Browns' starting second baseman Gedeon played the 1916 and 1917 seasons with the Yankees. Gedeon was the starter for New York during 1916 but was replaced by Fritz Maisel for the 1917 season. He was traded to the Browns in 1917 along with Nick Cullop, Maisel, Les Nunamaker and Urban Shocker in exchange for an older Eddie Plank and Catcher Del Pratt. The key man in the deal was Urban Shocker who the Yankees would regret giving up. Eventually they would get him back in time to be a part of the first Yankee dynasty.
George Halas
George Halas was born and raised in Chicago. He came to be identified with that city as much as Mayor Daley or Michael Jordan. Before he became famous in Chi-Town he played 12 games for the Yankees in the 1919 season. The Yankees were starting to field a competitive team in 1919, they would actually be in the pennant race the next year. During his 12 games Halas would go 2-22 (.091) at the plate with 8 strikeouts. After his failed season with the Yankees he went back home to Chicago where he played and coached the Decatur Staleys in the NFL. Two years later they would change their name to the Chicago Bears. Halas would coach and own the team and become known as "Papa Bear". Halas passed away in 1983 but his initials GSH were worn for several years on the sleeves of the Bears uniforms.
Dixie Walker
Dixie Walker is best remembered as a Brooklyn Dodger, for many reasons. Walker was the fan favorite in Brooklyn (he was known in Brooklyn as "the people's cherce") and played a key part in the Dodgers 1941 and 1947 World Series teams. He is also known as the man who started the petition to keep Jackie Robinson off the Dodgers' roster. Before he became the fan favorite in Brooklyn he played in the Bronx. Walker played 2 games for the Yanks in 1931 but became a regular in 1933, Babe Ruth's final year in pinstripes. As Babe Ruth and Earl Combs started to age the Yankees needed new blood and they found it in the deep south with new outfielders Walker and Ben Chapman. The two outfielders were close friends and roommates during Walker's 5 years in New York. When the Yankees signed DiMaggio, Walker became expendable. He would eventually wind up with the Dodgers. His time in New York at the end of Ruth's time there and in Brooklyn at the beginning of Robinson's made him the only player to have played with both Hall of Famers.
Paul Waner
Paul Waner had a Hall of Fame career spent mostly with the Pirates. In Pittsburgh he helped the Pirates reach the World Series in 1927 only to be swept by the Yankees team that some consider to be the greatest team of all time. As Waner aged, his talents started to decline. As Waner tried desperately to hold on to his career, teams were looking for anyone to fill out their rosters while the stars were overseas fighting World War II. Waner started the 1944 season with the Dodgers but was released in September. Fighting to keep their run of pennants going, the Yankees took a chance on Waner and signed him. He played a total of 9 games for the 1944 Yankees who failed to make the World Series for the first time since 1940. He would hit only .143. He would make his final appearance in 1945 with the Yankees as a pinch hitter when he drew a walk.
Sherm Lollar
Sherm Lollar would become a two time Gold Glove winning catcher, a 7 time All Star and an annual MVP candidate for the Chicago White Sox and was a favorite of manager Al Lopez. Before he made it to the White Sox he had a chance to be the Yankees catcher. Originally signed by the Indians, he was traded to the Yankees before the 1947 season with Pitcher Gene Bearden being the key piece returned to the Tribe. The Yankees needed a Catcher as they searched for a permanent replacement to Bill Dickey. As the Yankees steam roller moved on Lollar split time with Aaron Robinson and Yogi Berra. Eventually Berra won out but Lollar went on to a strong career in Chicago.
Sal Maglie
Sal the Barber was hated in Brooklyn for years. As the intimidating ace of the Giants during the early 1950's he frustrated the likes of Furillo, Snider, Reese and Robinson. When his numbers fell off the Giants sent him to Cleveland who, over staffed with young arms, had him sitting on the bench. In 1956 Maglie joined the enemy in Brooklyn where he famously was on the losing end of Don Larsen's perfect game. The 1957 season, the last in Brooklyn, did not go well for the Dodgers. They lost the pennant to the Milwaukee Braves. As the season limped into September Maglie was released and signed by the Yankees. Maglie would pitch in 6 games for New York and would go 2-0 in three starts for the team. He would not appear in the 1957 World Series, won by the Braves in 7 games, and would only appear in 7 games for the 1958 Yankees before finishing up his career with 10 games for the Cardinals that same year.
Rocky Colavito
Rocky Colavito was a beloved Cleveland Indian. When he was traded to the Tigers for Harvey Kuenn fans of the Tribe were devastated. Some in my own family still refer to it as the worst trade in baseball history. Although he played several years for the Tigers and even returned to Cleveland at one point, the trade still lingers. But did you know that the final 39 games of Rocky's career were in pinstripes in 1968. Colavito started the year with the Dodgers but was released in July. The Yankees, at the beginning of one of their darkest periods as an organization, were looking for stars and a miracle. In his 39 games there Colavito hit just .220.
Ken Brett
Unfortunately, Ken Brett has come to be known as "George Brett's brother" which ignores the fact that Ken was a pretty good pitcher. He was known mostly as a member of the Red Sox, Angels and Pirates. He became a bit of a journeyman pitcher, a fill in on depleted staffs. After the 1975 season with the NL East winning Pirates, the Bucs traded Brett along with Dock Ellis and Willie Randolph to the Yankees. Ellis stuck around for awhile. Randolph became an All Star and a fan favorite. Brett pitched in all of 2 games for the Yankees before moving on to the White Sox. He was traded along with Rich Coggins for Rudy May.
Luis Tiant
The 1975 and 1978 Red Sox teams are legendary in New England. Some might even say as legendary as the 2004 edition. While the great grandfathers of modern Red Sox Nation could recall the pain of seeing Babe Ruth and Duffy Lewis in pin stripes and current fans can recall the horrible sight of Johnny Damon, Wade Boggs and Roger Clemens in the Bronx, the end of the 1970's had the same situation for Red Sox fans. Luis Tiant was the ace of the staff. He had been cast off by the Indians and Twins, discarded as finished and resurrected in Boston. He was like found gold for the Sox. He symbolized the Red Sox. They were of the people, not like the rich spoiled Yankees. After the 1978 season, the one where Bucky Dent destroyed the hopes of New England, Tiant was granted free agency. He chose the Yankees as his new home. Tiant pitched two years in New York and went 21-17 (although the best part of that was the 13-9 season in 1979). After the 1980 season he was again granted free agency, ending the odd sight of Tiant in New York.
Jim Kaat
Jim Kaat played 25 years in the Major Leagues. He is remembered mostly for playing with the Twins, Phillies and Cardinals, helping each of those teams reach the post season. Lesser known in his career is that part way through the 1979 season the Phillies released Kaat and the Yankees signed him. Kaat went just 2-3 for New York that year but did well enough to resign for 1980. Kaat pitched in 4 games for the Yanks that year going 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA. Kaat's contract was then sold to the Cardinals where Kaat finished out his career, even helping the Cardinals to the 1982 World Series.
Otis Nixon
The 1980s were not kind to the Yankees. As the team traded young talent for over the hill veterans in the hopes of regaining the magic of the 1970s, the fans watched their prospects blossom elsewhere. Otis Nixon would become known as the base stealing threat at the top of the Braves lineup during their almost dynasty. Most know that he spent quite a bit of time in Cleveland and Montreal before making his way to the Braves but he was almost a Centerfielder in pinstripes. He started his career in the Majors in 1983 with 13 games in the Bronx at the end of that season. In the offseason he was dealt, along with Pitcher George Frazier, to the Indians for Toby Harrah and a player to be named later.
Jose Rijo
Jose Rijo was an All Star and World Series MVP for the Reds. Some will remember that Rijo won the World Series MVP by beating the A's, his former team. Others may remember him as the son in law of Juan Marichal. But Rijo was actually once a Yankee. Rijo appeared in 24 games (5 starts) for the 1984 Yankees and went just 2-8 with a 4.76 ERA. On December 5th of that year Rijo was sent to the A's along with Tim Birtsas, Jay Howell, Stan Javier and Eric Plunk. In exchange the Yankees received Bert Bradley and superstar Rickey Henderson.
Doug Drabek
As the Pirates became the dominant team in the AL East behind the offense of Bobby Bonilla, Andy Van Slyke and Barry Bonds, their pitching was often overlooked. In fact, their pitching staff was just as big a reason for their success. Starters John Smiley and Neil Heaton were sucessful but Doug Drabek was the clear ace of the staff. Drabek won 92 games in six seasons with the Pirates. In 1990 he went 22-6 with a 2.76 ERA and won the Cy Young. Before dominating the National League Drabek was a Yankee. He played for the 1986 team and went only 7-8 with a 4.10 ERA in 21 starts. On November 26, 1986 the Yankees sent Drabek to the Pirates with Pitcher Brian Fisher and minor league Pitcher Logan Easley. In exchange the Yankees received Pat Clements, Cecilio Guante and Rick Rhoden.
Steve Trout
Steve Trout was the son of Tigers' star Dizzy Trout and a fan favorite for the Cubs in the early 1980's.(Ironic considering dear old dad helped the Tigers win the 1945 World Series. That would be the one that began "the curse of the Billy Goat".) When the Cubs won the National League East in 1984, Trout played a big role. Never an ace or an All Star, Trout was considered a pitcher with great potential and the Cubs fans loved him. On July 13, 1987 the Yankees were in first place by three games but wanted some extra pitching. To get the veteran starter they needed they sent Rich Scheid, Bob Tewksbury and Dean Wilkins to the Cubs in exchange for Trout. Trout started 9 games for the Yankees that year going 0-4 with a 6.60 ERA. The Yankees finished in 4th place, 9 games behind the Tigers.
J.T. Snow
Jack Thomas Snow is the son of former Los Angeles Rams legend Jack Snow. J.T. made a name or himself in the majors by becoming a star first baseman with the Angels and Giants. Snow helped revitalize the Angels franchise as part of their young crop of talent in the mid 1990s and helped the 2002 Giants reach the World Series for the first time since 1989 (where they lost to his former team the Angels). Yet before he was a young Angel, Snow was a Yankee. Snow was a late September call up for the 1992 Yankees where he appeared in 7 games hitting .143 with no Home Runs. On December 6, 1992 the Yankees sent Snow along with Russ Springer and Jerry Nielsen to the Angels in exchange for Pitcher Jim Abbott.
Pete Incaviglia
Better (or more easily) known as Inky, Pete is usually remembered for his time with the Rangers and for his big contributions to the 1993 Phillies team as well as the help he gave to the Orioles playoff teams of 1996 and 1997. As the 1997 Orioles jumped out to a decent lead in the East and had a crowded outfield, they released the strikeout prone Inky in July. The Yanks, at that time prone to add any veteran Steinbrenner liked that week, added Incaviglia on July 25. He was used in 5 games where he hit .250 but did not show the power the Yankees had hoped for. On August 15 he was released ending his brief stay in the Bronx.
Ted Lilly
Ted Lilly made his name as a Pitcher mostly with the A's, Blue Jays and Cubs. He recently ended his career with the Dodgers. Lilly spent part of 1999 in the majors with Montreal but was sent to the Yankees as the player to be named later to complete the Hideki Irabu trade. In parts of three seasons with the Yankees Lilly was 8-12 with a 4.65 ERA. Lilly would finish his career at 130-113. Except for an 0-1 record in Montreal Lilly would have a winning record in every other stop of his career except the Bronx. On July 5, 2002 the Yankees traded Lilly as part of a three way deal that included Oakland and Detroit. The Tigers ended up with Franklyn German, Carlos Pena and a player to be named later (Jeremy Bonderman). The A's ended up with Lilly, Jason Arnold and John-Ford Griffin. The Yankees got Jeff Weaver.
Rickey Henderson was traded by the Athletics to the Yankees just before the start of the 1985 season. Henderson played for the Yankees until the middle of the 1989 season when he was traded back to the Athletics. One of the players included in the original trade from the Yankees to the A's was also included in the second trade sending Henderson from the Yankees back to the A's. Who was it?
Answer to Last Week's Trivia Question:
Byung Hyun Kim entered the 8th inning of Game 4 in 2001 replacing Curt Schlling. Kim got a 1-2-3 8th inning, preserving a 3-1 lead. To start the 9th Derek Jeter bunted for an out. Paul O'Neill singled but Bernie Williams struck out putting the Diamondbacks one out away from the win. Tino Martinez then homered to tie the game.
In the bottom of the 10th Kim came back out for the Diamondbacks who had failed to score in the top of the 10th. Kim got Scott Brosius and Alfonso Soriano to fly out. The next batter was Derek Jeter who hit a Home Run to give the Yankees the Game 4 victory.
The next night, in Game 5, The Diamondbacks were ahead again, this time 2-0. Kim was brought on again to close it out. Jorge Posada doubled to start the inning but Kim got Shane Spencer on a groundball and Chuck Knoblauch swinging. With two out Scott Brosius hit a two run Home Run to tie the game.

Finite materials systems of reduced sizes exhibit specific forms of aggregation, phases, structures and morphologies, quantized electronic shell structures, dimensionality cross-over, and size-dependent evolutionary patterns, which are manifested in unique, nonscalable, size-dependent physical and chemical properties. Indeed, when the dimensions of materials structures are reduced to the nanoscale, emergent phenomena often occurs, that are not commonly expected, or deduced, from knowledge gained at larger sizes. Discovery, characterization, understanding and possible utilization of such emergent behavior of materials in the nanoscale are among the major challenges of modern materials science. Progress in theses directions is greatly facilitated, or even predicated, by synthesis, fabrication, separation and measurements of atomically precise nanostructures, and by theoretical investigations of their unique structural, chemical and physical properties. Computer-based quantum computations, simulations and emulations, are tools of discovery which enable uncovering emergent behavior in the nanoscale. In this talk we employ such simulations, often in conjunction with laboratory experiments, to explore some of the origins that underlie the unique behavior of size-selected materials in the nanoscale, and highlight computational microscopy investigations of nanoscale phenomena in diverse systems, ranging from: nanoscale liquid jets and bridges, droplet electro-crystallization, nanoclusters and machine-like response of their self-assembled superlattices, to symmetry-breaking manifested in formation of highly-correlated Wigner molecules in electron quantum dots, and exact numerical emulations of many-body microscopic hamiltonians, suggesting the employment of finite ultracold fermionic atom systems in fundamental studies of quantum magnetism, entanglement, and high-Tc superconductivity.

Location: Physics Auditorium (Rm 202)SOFIA is an airborne observatory that consists of a 2.7m telescope mounted in a heavily modified Boeing 747 aircraft. Flying at altitudes up to 45000 feet, SOFIA can get above enough of the atmosphere to open up a broad swath of infrared wavelengths for scientific investigation which are completely unobservable from the ground. SOFIA has a large suite of science instruments covering a broad range of wavelengths and spectral resolutions, which make the observatory capable of performing a huge breadth of astronomical science from the optical to far-infrared. SOFIA is just beginning its 5th annual observing cycle, and has already produced a host of interesting science results. In this talk, I will discuss what makes this such a unique observatory in both form and function, and will highlight some of the more interesting science results obtained so far.

Laboratory Astrophysics at Tokyo Metropolitan University
Guest: Prof. Hajime Tanuma, Department of Physics, Tokyo Metropolitan University

Location: CSP Conference Room (322)
At Tokyo Metropolitan University, three distinct experimental techniques are being deployed to study ionic and molecular processes relevant to astrophysics.
A facility for multiply charged ion beam experiments with a 14.25 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source is used to measure charge exchange cross sections in collisions of multiply charged ions with neutral gases and to observe photon emission spectra under soft X-ray, extreme ultraviolet, and UV-visible irradiation. Currently we are interested in both solar wind charge exchange phenomena and spectroscopic data needed for the fusion reactor ITER.
Our electrostatic ion storage ring, which was constructed in 2004 as the world's third such device, is a facility that has become popular among atomic and molecular physicists. Using this ring, we have studied cooling processes of hot (around 3000 K) molecular and cluster ions, produced in an ion source. We have also performed experiments for C6H-, which is found in interstellar clouds, and small carbon anions.
In a low temperature ion drift tube mass spectrometer, which can be operated at 4.3 K by using liquid helium, the mobility of atomic and small molecular ions in helium gas has been measured and the formation of helium cluster ions has been observed. We have observed elastic cross sections between molecular ions and He larger than the Langevin limit at very low energies. This phenomena might contribute to chemical evolution in interstellar clouds.

Thank God for Nonlinearity. A 30,000 Feet View of the Nonlinear Dynamics of Many Particle Systems.
Guest: Prof. Surajit Sen, Department of Physics, State University of New York at Buffalo
Thursday, March 30, 2017 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Location: Physics Auditorium (Rm 202)
Nonlinear dynamics is about 400 some years old. European monarchs of the time cared about their ships surviving the rough Atlantic waves and thus Euler, Lagrange, Newton, Cauchy and many others worked on nonlinear wave equations (which presumably predate the linear wave equation!). In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, nonlinear systems have been worked on in terms of continuum equations and we know that many of these (integrable) equations admit so-called soliton solutions where solitons are traveling, non-dispersive lumps of energy (almost like quanta but classical). In 1955, Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou studied a nonlinear mass-spring chain and showed that the system has great trouble equilibrating. In 1983, Nesterenko first examined impulse propagation through an alignment of elastic grains and showed these systems too support solitons/solitary waves. Does the perturbed granular chain system equilibrate? What does it physically mean to have a non-integrable system? And why do we even care? The talk will touch upon the history and the current state of nonlinear physics of many particle systems and what all this physics can give us in terms of new scientific insights and novel technology.
Parts of this work has been supported over time by the National Science Foundation and the Army Research Office. Many of the calculations have been done on the supercomputers at the Center for Computational Research at SUNY Buffalo.

DOVER — School Board Vice Chair Betsey Andrews-Parker said the search for a permanent superintendent is well under way and on schedule, with the designated subcommittee receiving numerous applications for the position.
During the School Board meeting Monday night at the McConnell Center, Andrews-Parker said the committee tasked with conducting the search has been very busy, and has scheduled a meeting for Tuesday, Feb. 18 to go over applications.
"We are receiving applications," Andrews-Parker said. "We have an agreed-upon scoring system."
That scoring rubric will be used to evaluate those applications and resumes, which is expected to be completed by this weekend.
"We'll be able to have our list of top candidates," Andrews-Parker said, adding that interviews have been scheduled for March 5, 7 and 8. "Once we have that completed, the committee will then re-score on another rubric that we have."
Andrews-Parker told her fellow board members the search committee will also schedule second interviews, including daylong sessions that will include the rest of the School Board. Andrews-Parker said the goal is to have a recommendation for a superintendent by March 31. She said so far the response has been significant, but didn't want to elaborate on the number of received applications until after the initial process had closed.
"We don't want to deter anyone for or against applying," Andrews-Parker said. "We don't want someone who is thinking of applying to not apply because they don't think they have a chance."
Also on the agenda was another review of the school district's proposed FY 2015 budget, which interim Superintendent Antonio Fernandes first presented at the end of January. Even with moderate adjustments from previous presentations, Fernandes outlined a budget that he feels would address staffing concerns within the district, but would exceed the tax cap by $463,211, or 1 percent.
"I did not take anything away from the budget presented last week," Fernandes said. "My position as superintendent is to construct a budget that I think meets the needs of the kids. That's where I think we are."
However, Fernandes said he was happy to hear more feedback from board members, and wouldn't hesitate to go back to the drawing board. In response to questions on whether this budget would truly move the district forward, rather than act as a placeholder until a permanent superintendent could come in, Fernandes said he wanted to present something that wasn't an 8 or 9 percent increase over the tax cap.
At a workshop meeting last week, Fernandes outlined a $48,167,981 budget that includes $775,989 in priority staffing requests and $76,422 for non-union and administrative staff, including allocations to fill positions such as an associate principal/guidance counselor at Woodman Park Elementary School, two sixth-grade teachers at the middle school and more than six special education case managers. Last week Fernandes said an increase in revenue from Barrington for high school students under the district's new contract was calculated in to allow for staffing requests. Using one-third of the eighth-grade population from Barrington his team was able to project $1,526,727.85 in revenue from the town for high school tuition.
Fernandes continued to support moving uncommitted funds, totaling $480,000, toward curriculum and technology, including allocations for professional development, books, Chromebooks, and money for the visual and performing arts.
"What we're requesting will actually enhance our curriculum initiatives," Fernandes said.
School Board Chair Amanda Russell said the board needed further guidance on some budget items, including staffing requests, and said the board needed to heed time constraints.
"I'm greatly concerned we have only two meetings left and we haven't come to any sort of consensus," Russell said. "We need to start making some real decisions. I strongly suspect we do need to meet next week. We actually need to start saying yes and no, and we've said nothing to this point. We have to do more now, and if we can't in good conscience make any more reductions, then we can't. At this point, we've done very little deliberating over any of these positions."
The School Board will meet again to review the budget on March 3.

Brad Rock: If Jazz fail next year, Corbin's number will be up
DougC San Diego, CAJune 13, 2013 5:20 p.m.
rvalens2 Burley, IDJune 12, 2013 7:11 p.m.
Some of the mistakes Corbin made last season.
Played Marvin Williams before DeMarre Carroll.
(Carroll was clearly the better player.)
Gave too much playing time to Jefferson and Millsap.
(At the expense of not developing Kanter and Favors.)
Played Millsap and Jefferson together.
(Paul simply could not make up for Jefferson's lack of defense.)
Dumped Mo Williams immediately back into the starting lineup.
(A real rookie mistake, that cost the Jazz several games because Mo was out-of-sync with the rest of the team.)
Mismanaged his players' on court time.
(Played some guys way too long and others not enough.)
Often did not know what play to call.
(Self-explanatory, just watch his body language and eyes.)
Tyrone Corbin clearly does not understand how to match his player's strengths against an opponent's weaknesses. If that's all I knew about him, it would be enough to convince me that he should not be the Jazz coach.
Kakashi Tokyo, JapanJune 12, 2013 5:36 p.m.
i hope the Jazz are trying to get through Hollins phone...Rick Adelman too....before they get picked by other teams and we lose out on a franchise coach
Tators Hyrum, UTJune 12, 2013 1:36 p.m.
In all honesty, if NBA coaches were kept of let go based on the same performance criteria that their players are, Corbin would already be either in Europe or at a junior college somewhere. Waiting another year for the inevitable would not be necessary.
It's a bit difficult to understand why the Jazz aren't already in the mix trying hard to get one of the several very proven coaches currently on the market. Seldom are there this many very good NBA coaches available at the same time. By waiting until next year, the pickings might be very slim indeed.
fortydam OREM, UTJune 12, 2013 1:32 p.m.
For years the Jazz were known as the team that had stability and consistency. I'm not a Corbin fan and I think that he needs to be given a shot with a team that has a point guard. This team has always had a great floor general, and the years that they didn't they suffered. I think several good things happened last year and one was the development of Favors, Kanter, and Burks. If the Jazz lose Jefferson and get a point guard, everyone will benefit including Corbin. If they get what they need and he can't win, then we join the rest of the NBA in the usual coaching merry go round. Few coaches look good with bad players, and almost all coaches look good with good players.
TerryHaimes Sturgis, MSJune 12, 2013 1:02 p.m.
Why do Jazz fans have to endure another season with Corbin?
I-am-I South Jordan, UTJune 12, 2013 12:17 p.m.
Rock is right that coaches are hired and fired quite swiftly these days in the NBA. That does not mean that it's the right thing to do. I'm not a huge fan of Corbin, but firing someone because it is the trend is not why you fire someone. The reason the Jazz probably won't fire Corbin is because stability is a big priority of the Jazz organization...you know kind of like San Antonio. This all being said I like the idea that Jazz are going for what I don't like is the people executing. Greg Miller isn't the brilliant businessman/organizational genius his father was and Coach Corbin can't seem to see that Favors is a pick and roll power forward and the scheme should adjust when he's in the game so forces him to play like Big Al.
Little Andy Tremonton, UTJune 12, 2013 11:21 a.m.
It had been said long ago with the team this year Corbin should have been let go for not making the playoffs. Most of the yearly salaries are paid by the trade deadline. That is why Jazz are talking to Sloan about taking on a role. I say Corbin will be gone come trade deadline.. The Bear could have done a better job than Corbin this year..
Jazz Source Alpine, UTJune 12, 2013 10:58 a.m.
What a ridiculous premise. Corbin actually had some capable veterans this past year. He dramatically underachieved this past season.
Now next year all we have are some young dudes but lets face it, how much experience do these guys have winning anything at the NBA level? I'll answer that. None!
There is literally no chance Corbin will win much of anything next season because he will be giving young guys minutes which equals losses and we will be adding a ton of new names to the roster which causes all types of chemistry issues.
Corbin should have been fired after this past season. Alot of the local media said so at the beginning of last season. Now they are making excuses related to all the free agents leaving yada yada.
With all the changes ahead Corbin has little chance of success. Its just very comical that now Rock and others determine next season should be the deciding factor given the roster is nearly empty of any experienced veterans.
Youth equals losing. That simple. Of course it is a necessary step to chemistry and experience but there will be plenty of losing next season...but I expect it.
MR Draper, UTJune 12, 2013 8:04 a.m.
Why is it that Corbin "deserves" another year? Seriously, what has he done? Made absolutely zero sense to make him a permanent coach right after Sloan retired. Perfect opportunity for interim status and see how he performed. After not performing well, they extend his contract?
I've had season tickets since the Jazz moved to Utah. Never been more disgusted in the management. Strongly considering not renewing for the first time ever.
JBQ Saint Louis, MOJune 12, 2013 7:39 a.m.
In the NBA, it is very difficult to assess the role and worth of a coach. Just think how much LeBron James (6 ft 8, 250, mobile) actually needs a coach. Most NBA games are "playground" basketball. Corbin played for a real coach in Ray Meyer. D-Wil thought that he was the coach and that is where the problem developed with Sloan. In the case of LeBron, Ray Charles could coach. Therefore, it is just real tough just how you would evaluate Corbin. I guess that Ws and Ls would be the only way.
scalman Temecula, CAJune 12, 2013 6:43 a.m.
Corbin deserves one year more. None of us know what the complete Jazz roster will resemble come October, but as long as Corbin plays the core-four mega minutes, it should be a more exciting & prosperous ride into the playoffs. It will help, of course, if at least one of their two first-round draft choices contributes.
rvalens2 Burley, IDJune 12, 2013 3:45 a.m.
Tyrone Corbin should have never been given the Jazz head coaching job. Waiting another year to release him, in my opinion, is foolish. He has already proven that he does not have the acumen to be a head coach in the NBA.
During his time as head coach, he has mismanaged players' on court time, doesn't understand how best to utilize his player rotations, nor how to match his players' strengths against an opponent's weaknesses.
An NBA head coaching position should not be filled by someone who requires on-the-job training.
Zona Zone Mesa, AZJune 12, 2013 1:27 a.m.
Here's something I doubt Brad Rock knows: Lionel Hollins played college basketball in the state of Utah, spending his first two years at Dixie College.
Americanvet Ivins, UTJune 11, 2013 11:00 p.m.
I'm not sure the Jazz would fire Corbin next year if the Jazz miss the playoffs. That would require Greg Miller to make a smart basketball decision and I affraid he's not capable of doing that.
BlameItOnTheOfficials Cottonwood Heights, UTJune 11, 2013 9:27 p.m.
One of the few times I can agree with your assessment Mr. Rock. Good story.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Thursday the brakes were working on a crowded New Jersey Transit train that crashed into the Hoboken Terminal on Sept. 29, killing one and injuring 110 people.
On the day of the accident, the train, which was six minutes late, had four cars when it normally has five cars and was so crowded the conductor said he was unable to collect fares, the NTSB said in a preliminary report on the accident.

The report did not give a reason for the crash. U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx told reporters on Wednesday he was not going to discuss possible causes of the crash while it is under investigation.
Investigators have not found any mechanical issues with the signal and train control systems, the report said, adding that while the train's electrical communication network was destroyed in the crash, a friction brake test showed the brakes functioned as designed.
The NTSB previously said the train was traveling at 8 miles per hour (13 kph) 38 seconds before impact and then began to increase in speed to 21 miles per hour (34 kph) at impact -- twice the speed limit -- and that emergency brakes were applied one second before the crash.
The report said a review of the event data recorder confirmed the speed of the train. The NTSB said it has recovered good quality forward-facing color video and audio from an exterior microphone.
The engineer told the NTSB his cell phone was stored and turned off in his personal backpack and he conducted required brake tests on the train prior to departure. As the train approached the end of the platform, he blew the horn, checked his speedometer, and starting ringing the bell.
The engineer said he remembered waking up in the cab laying on the floor after the accident, but has no memory of it.
The conductor told the NTSB he did not notice anything unusual about the engineer's behavior.
The Hoboken station reopened on Monday with commuter service partially restored.
Representative Bill Pascrell, a New Jersey Democrat, said in a statement "the preliminary report raises more questions than provides answers."
The crash "has made very clear that the state needs to put some serious time, attention, and resources into New Jersey Transit rail operations," he added.
New Jersey Transit, the third-busiest U.S. commuter system handling nearly 1 million bus and rail passengers a day, has had a series of budget and safety issues.
Last year, the system hiked fares by 9 percent to help close a $50 million budget deficit and had a $45 million budget gap this year.

Gold, silver and bronze
It was only meant as a bit of fun to keep the stationery market alive during the Olympics, but it exceeded my expectations. I feared having to declare a winner based on only 10 votes, but with over 200 votes in the end I shouldn't have been so pessimistic! And it provided a battle to the line as Whitelines made a real fight of it, being pipped to the gold medal by Leuchtturm by only one vote. Monsieur made a strong claim to bronze, way behind the leaders but well ahead of pre-race favourite Moleskine.
Moleskine did made the early running, and I feared them walking away with a predictable gold medal, followed by Rhodia. I don't know what happened to the French entry but they stalled early on, leaving Moleskine ahead. They were then steadily hauled in by the Germans with the Swedes proving a surprisingly strong contender. Most of the running was then Leuchtturm being tailed by Whitelines, with Monsieur pulling away from Moleskine. The minor placings were fought out between Mark's, Field Notes and The Slab book.
nd what does the final result say about the books? I am not surprised by the popularity of Leuchtturm – I use one myself and they are a very good book. I am surprised by the demand for Whitelines – quirky and unusual but I hadn't realised how popular. Good timing since we have just been restocked with Whitelines including some new lines. With Monsieur there is possibly a Team GB sympathy vote, or maybe I am being unfair? Again, I was unaware of the popularity, and I am very surprised by the poor showing by Rhodia which I thought did have a good following. Moleskine is one of those hard-to-call ones – hugely popular, but also very unpopular because of its very popularity. Maybe this counted against it. As for the others, they did very well and realistically were never likely to feature in the medal hunt. But then I thought that about Whitelines…
