My husband considers me a bit "loony." Why, when the temperature is in the 90s, would anyone in her right mind choose to bundle up in a long-sleeved shirt and long pants, spend the day fighting brambles, gnats, and possibly snakes, and then return home stained red with blood and berry juice? Sometimes I wonder myself, especially when I probe for a stubborn thorn or try to disguise my scratched hands.
Despite these hindrances, when July rolls around, I find myself wondering what the berry crop is like this summer. Finally I succumb, don my protective clothing, douse myself with insect repellent, round up my bucket and a sturdy stick, and head for the berry patch.
But before this, in late spring, I scout mountain roads and along the fences around pastures. When I spot arching spans of new canes filled with white blossoms, I make a mental note: Return in July.
I learned this strategy as a child and still find it exciting. During the Depression, children contributed to the family economy by gathering berries and nuts. From the first wild strawberries in late May until October, when winds showered the ground with walnuts and hickory nuts, we spent hours reaping harvests we did not sow, contemplating the delicious pies, cakes, and jams they would provide.
I suppose nostalgia plays a part in my quest for the wild fruits. But it's more than that. For me, berry picking is a spiritual experience. Berries often grow in abandoned, remote areas, away from the noise of traffic and the busyness of modern life.
The sheer silence is soothing. Silence that's punctuated only by the lyrical warbling of a mockingbird or the occasional rustle of a rabbit startled by this invasion of his briar patch. I find my body relaxing and my mind freed from anxiety, contemplating deeper and more meaningful matters.
The abundance of dark, ripe fruit and clusters of bright-red berries – with a promise of more to come – speak to me of God's goodness in providing for his creatures. I meditate on a few words from Psalm 67: "The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God shall bless us...."
Each cane is covered with berries, and each berry is loaded with seeds. New berries will appear not just in this spot but wherever the birds fly and drop the seeds. The very place where berries grow – abandoned areas, where storms have broken trees – reminds me of goodness appearing in an apparently hopeless situation.
Abundant rain has produced the nicest blackberries I've picked in years. Most are as large as the first joint of my thumb, covered with clusters of tiny purplish spheres.
My fingers slide beneath each one and separate it from the branch. Plunk, plunk! They drop into the bucket. Soon the bottom is covered and no sound is heard as the berries accumulate.
There's more to these berries than just food for me and wildlife. They also combine delicious taste and beauty.
And although they are available for only a short period of time, if I time my picking day right, I also find red raspberries that ripen before the peak of the blackberry season. Each one is like a ruby, glistening in the sunlight.
I try to gather them carefully, placing my bucket beneath the clusters to catch the berries as they drop.
If they fall to the ground amid the tangle of poison ivy and dead branches, they can't be retrieved. Sometimes my carelessness causes me to lose them. Sometimes their loss cannot be prevented – merely pulling the vine toward me can cause them to fall.
So it is with life, I think. We make mistakes and things just happen. No need to fret. I move on and soon locate another loaded cane.
My stick is a simple but crucial piece of equipment. I probe the area ahead before stepping into a thicket to avoid surprising a snake or other critter. If I should hear a warning rattle, I can retreat.
I also use the stick to spread the branches, revealing the fruit hidden beneath the leaves, or to pull a cane nearer.
Occasionally a long cane will snag my shirt. I become entangled, unable to pull free. I imagine a scene from a science-fiction movie, where the briars snare a human and devour her on the spot.
But my trusty stick pushes the cane away and I step aside, free again. Another metaphor: Tangled and snared by temptation, "Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me" (Ps. 23:4).
It begins to rain, a light, summer shower. Soon my shirt and hat are soaked, but I want to fill my bucket. Just as I am about to head for my car, I spot a patch of the reddest, ripest raspberries I've seen all day. They are deep inside a thicket, far from the path, hovering above a pile of broken tree limbs.
Common sense says I would be foolish to go after them. I recall lines from Robert Browning, "Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?"
Reluctantly, though, I turn away and head for the car, hoping a bird will drop the seeds of those superior berries in a more accessible spot.
Once I've gotten home and cleaned up, I am ready to enjoy the spoils of my picking. No amount of money could purchase a single one of these precious berries.
Like the Little Red Hen, I will share them with my own little chicks – city-bred grandchildren who might otherwise never know the taste of hot blackberry cobbler, homemade blackberry jam, or fresh blackberries with cream.

Three Points: Argentina overcome Netherlands
SAO PAULO -- Three points on Argentina's 4-2 penalty shootout win over Netherlands that booked their place in Sunday's World Cup final with Germany.
1. A different kind of tension
After the deluge, the stalemate. Belo Horizonte's night of high farce was succeeded by a semifinal that at times lacked tension, a very strange state of affairs for a match that decided who will face Germany in the 2014 World Cup final. Penalties were a crashing inevitability from very early on indeed. Lightning could not strike twice for the Dutch; the need to make three outfield substitutions robbed them of the ability to bring on Tim Krul from the goalkeeping bullpen.
Instead, Jasper Cillessen, who has never saved a penalty in his professional career, was beaten by each Argentina penalty, as Ron Vlaar and Wesley Sneijder both failed. Cillessen got a hand to Maxi Rodriguez's, for Argentina's fourth, but the ball still beat the goal line. Argentina were back in the final for the first time in 24 years; back in 1990, they required penalties -- versus Italy -- to get there. This time Sergio Romero, a former Louis van Gaal player at AZ Alkmaar, was the goalkeeping hero.
The emotional trauma that Brazil had suffered at German hands after leaving themselves so open perhaps served to make this a risk-free affair, a cold fish of a match. Neither Alejandro Sabella nor Van Gaal were betting the farm, and even the shootout lacked true drama.
Half-chances had come and gone, mostly for Argentina, with the Dutch always holding their opponents at arm's length, and the same was true of the Argentines' deep-set defending. The Dutch's early-tournament promise had slowed, while Argentina were yet to win a match by more than a single-goal advantage. Their best chances both came in the 116th minute, when Rodrigo Palacio could only nod at Cillessen, and Maxi's shot did the same.
The greying weather reflected a national mood. Brazil's dream is dead, and the fear was that it could be replaced by the nightmare of Argentina winning the World Cup instead. At the tournament's opening match, the Arena Corinthians' open-stadium structure had allowed a view of a night sky filled with fireworks whenever Brazil scored against Croatia. Now, pyrotechnics were likely only in the event of Dutch victory. Yellow shirts that previously have filled stadia were now in the minority.
For a second night, Brazil did not get its wish. Now Argentina can win on their territory. A nightmare draws near.
2. Messi fails to inspire
A few moments' appreciation were held before kickoff for Alfredo Di Stefano, probably the best player never to play at a World Cup. Messi had already surpassed his compatriot by reaching any stage of the tournament, but he struggled in his quest to take his country into their first final since 1990 and emulate Diego Maradona.
In the early stages, Messi was coming deep to collect the ball, in an attempt to draw out the Dutch defence and escape the attentions of Nigel de Jong.
As has been Messi's habit in Brazil, he was often to be found standing stock still, before waiting to make his sudden bursts. Yet even with De Jong gone, he looked peripheral as the game lurched on. One poor free kick had him cursing the heavens; even he was now lacking inspiration.
Messi badly needed somebody on his wavelength. Gonzalo Higuain's revival against Belgium looked temporary, while it can only be wondered how many more goals Argentina might have scored had Sergio Aguero not succumbed to his continual muscular problems. Aguero's introduction still did not produce enough movement. The drive of Angel Di Maria was badly missed. There was no alternative ball carrier, which only increased the burden on the captain and his frustrations with it. The type of incisor run that eventually won the day against Switzerland did come not off; the final pass always headed to an orange shirt.
When full-time came, and the Argentine players were huddled, it was Messi and not Sabella who gave the team talk, revealing the pecking order for all to see. When penalties came, all Messi could do was score his and hand the plaudits to Romero.
3. Dutch doggerel
Van Gaal could not repeat the card trick against Costa Rica; penalties again became a source of Dutch pain. In normal time, his team could not create nearly enough.
Arjen Robben, licensed to travel wherever an opportunity presented itself, was the main prong, and by the end of the 90 minutes, the sole hope in attack. Robin van Persie was a far less mobile counterpoint. When the Dutch attacked, the diagonal ball was the usual tactic, in the hope that Robben's speed would take him onto a flick-on. That Robben touched the ball just six times in the first half reflected the effectiveness of the Dutch attacking effort. The real aim was to keep things tight. Ron Vlaar was the rock at the centre of the rearguard effort only to become an unfortunate victim of the shootout.
It took until the strike of time added on for Robben to escape, only for Javier Mascherano to rob him as the moment to shoot arrived. The Dutch thus ended normal time without a single shot on target. It had been the first time that Sneijder and Robben had linked.
Dirk Kuyt, in his wing-back role, was far more to the fore. He is three years older than van Persie yet possesses a far deeper well of energy. Van Gaal even changed his position at halftime, clearly feeling that he was a far better defensive option than Daley Blind. Odd to think Kuyt once scored a goal as a striker in 2007's Champions League final.
Van Gaal was employing similar tactics to those that had beaten Chile in the group stage, with the hope that his forwards could catch a break. Sneijder, the creative hub of 2010's finalists, played a sacrificial role in chasing down Argentina's anchor pairing of Mascherano and Lucas Biglia and would eventually pay the penalty himself.

Take Stock with the iPhone Stocks App
Stocks is another Internet-enabled app on your iPhone. It's kind of a one-trick pony, but if you need its trick — information about specific stocks — it's a winner.
Every time you open the Stocks app by tapping its icon (on the second Home screen by default), it displays the latest price for your stocks, with two provisos:
The quotes are provided in real-time; in earlier versions of iOS, they were delayed by up to 20 minutes.
The quotes are updated only if your iPhone can connect to the Internet via either Wi-Fi or a wireless data network.
So tap that Stocks icon and take a peek. The first time you open Stocks, you see information for a group of default stocks, funds, and indexes. You can't see them all on the screen at once, so flick upward to scroll down.
Your stocks also appear by default in Notification Center (swipe down from the top of the screen). If you don't see them in your Notification Center, tap Settings→Notifications→Stock Widget to enable them.
Add and delete stocks, funds, and indexes
Your chance of owning that exact group of stocks, funds, and indexes displayed on the screen is slim. You can add your own stocks, funds, or indexes and delete any or all default ones if you want.
Here's how to add a stock, a fund, or an index:
Tap the i button in the bottom-right corner of the initial Stocks screen.
The i is for info.
Tap the + button in the top-left corner of the Stocks screen.
Type the stock symbol or the name of the company, index, or fund.
Tap the Search button.
The Stocks app finds the company or companies that match your search request.
Tap the stock, fund, or index that you want to add.
Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until you've finished adding stocks, funds, and indexes.
Tap the Done button in the top-right corner.
And here's how to delete a stock (the steps for deleting a fund or an index are the same):
Tap the i button in the bottom-right corner of the initial Stocks screen.
Tap the – button to the left of the stock's name.
Tap the Delete button that appears to the right of the stock's name.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until you've deleted all unwanted stocks.
Tap the Done button.
That's all there is to adding and deleting stocks.
To change the order of the list, tap the i button and then drag the three horizontal lines to the right of the stock, fund, or index up or down to its new place in the list.
Details, details, details in the Stocks app
To see the details for an item, tap its name to select it, and the lower portion of the screen will offer additional information. Note the three small dots under the words Market Closed. These dots tell you that three screens of information are available. To switch between these three screens, simply swipe to the left or the right on the lower part of the screen.
To look up additional information about a stock at Yahoo.com, first tap the stock's name to select it, and then tap the Y! button in the lower-left corner of the screen. Safari launches and displays the Yahoo.com finance page for that stock.
Chart a course in the Stocks app
Note the chart at the bottom of the middle image. At the top of the chart, you see a bunch of numbers and letters, namely 1d, 1w, 1m, 3m, 6m, 1y, and 2y. They stand for 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years, respectively. Tap one of them and the chart updates to reflect that period of time.
That feature is sweet but here's an even sweeter one: If you rotate your iPhone 90 degrees, the chart appears in full-screen. Here are three cool things you can do with full-screen charts:
Touch any point in time to see the value for that day.
Use two fingers to touch any two points in time to see the difference in values between those two days.
Swipe left or right to see the chart for another stock, fund, or index.
By default, the Stocks app displays the change in a stock's price in dollars. You can instead see the change expressed as a percentage or as the stock's market capitalization.
Simply tap the number next to any stock (green numbers are positive; red numbers are negative) to toggle the display for all stocks — dollar change, percent change, market cap. So if your stocks, funds, and indexes are currently displayed as dollars, tapping any one of them switches them all to percent — and tapping again switches them to market cap.
Another method requires more steps: Tap the i button in the bottom-right corner of the initial Stocks screen. Then tap the %, Price, or Mkt Cap button at the bottom of the screen. The values are then displayed in the manner you chose. Tap the Done button in the top-right corner when you're finished.

|The ancient city of Luoyang, which lies just south of
the Yellow River in Henan Province, has a distinguished history as a
dynastic capital second only to Xi'an. The Zhou dynasty established its
capital here in 1027 BCE, and during the next 2,000 years the city
served as the capital of nine dynasties.
Luoyang is best known for the Buddhist carvings of the Longmen Caves. Work began on the caves in the fifth century, when the Northern Wei established their capital at Luoyang, and continued until the ninth century, when persecution of the Buddhist faith led to the closure of monasteries and the end of the patronage of Buddhist arts. However, the area around Luoyang is also famous for its rich heritage of archaeological treasures. Significant art works, from Neolithic times until China's early dynasties, have been unearthed in the region and put on display in the Luoyang Museum and at the Henan Museum. The latter is located in the provincial capital of Zhengzhou; classified as a 'Key' museum (containing national treasures) it is thus a highly desirable destination while en-route to, or coming from Luoyang.
|Thirteen kilometres (eight miles) to the south of Luoyang, on the banks of the River Yi, lie the Longmen Caves.
The craftsmen actually used the river-side cliffs to create these
monumental 1,352 caves with more than 40 pagodas, and some 97,000
Carving of the caves began in the Northern Wei dynasty, when the Emperor Xiaowen moved his capital to Luoyang in 494. The Wei emperors were devout Buddhists, and they manifested their piety by commissioning the creation of these large-scale shrines. The caves are scattered in various locations, but there are six which are the most frequently visited: the Binyang, Lianhua and Guyang caves of the Northern Wei dynasty, and the three Tang dynasty caves of Qianxi, Fengxian and the Ten Thousand Buddhas (Wanfo Dong).
Many of these caves have been badly damaged by earthquakes, water erosion and looters (both Chinese and foreign), but most of what remains is still impressive. The sculptures from the Northern Wei dynasty are highly textured and dynamic in form. They include beautiful flying apsaras (Buddhist angels) who float through flowerand cloud-filled skies, trailing fluttering ribbons. In the Sui dynasty carvings, there is a more static feel to the sculptures, whose huge faces and foreshortened limbs create a deliberately imposing effect. In contrast, the Tang sculptures (particularly those in the Fengxian cave) have great freedom of form and a liveliness of expression. The sculptures seem to be independent of the rock face from which they are carved, and the torsos twist and move in dance-like postures.
|Slightly more than 10 kilometres (six miles) to the east of Luoyang lies the White Horse Temple
(Baima Si). This is considered to be one of the earliest Buddhist
foundations in China, dating from the first century (Eastern Han
dynasty), when the capital was at Luoyang. The surviving temple
structures all date from the Ming dynasty, but many of the buildings
have the original Han bricks. The temple is now a centre for Chan—better
known by its Japanese name, Zen—learning.
A half-day drive southeast from the Longmen Caves, in Dengfeng County, the Songyue Temple Pagoda looms on Mount Song. As the earliest surviving brick pagoda in China, it has obvious value as an architectural rarity. It was built around 520, in Indian style, and rises 40 metres (130 feet) in 12 storeys. It was once part of a thriving monastery founded in the Northern Wei dynasty.
Also in Dengfeng County is the Shaolin Temple, a place known to all kungfu enthusiasts. Set up at the end of the fifth century, Shaolin was the earliest Chan Buddhist temple in China. The style of martial art associated with it was developed by a band of 13 monks at the end of the Sui dynasty. Since 1988 there has been a martial arts training centre attached to the temple.
Eighty kilometres (50 miles) southeast of Luoyang lies the Gaocheng Observatory. Built in the Yuan dynasty, it is one of a series established throughout China. An imposing brick structure, it looks like a pyramid with its top chopped off. The Yuan dynasty imperial astronomer, Guo Shoujing, worked here and in 1280 calculated the length of the year to be 365.2425 days—some 300 years before the same calculation was made in the West.

SkyCity was reportedly lobbying the Government to "fast track" visas for wealthy Chinese visitors for at least a year before Immigration Minister Nathan Guy announced an arrangement with China Southern Airlines.
An article published in August last year on gambling industry website gambling911.com reported that SkyCity was entering "Pacific Casino Wars" and that the company was "Hunting High Roller Whales".
In the article, SkyCity's international business president, Ejaaz Dean, was quoted saying the casino was keen to attract high-spending Chinese gamblers.
"An agreement had been reached with Air New Zealand for priority access to ticketing and the casino is working with Immigration New Zealand to 'fast-track' visas for 'known players' from the mainland," Mr Dean is reported as saying.
However, SkyCity has denied any involvement in the China Southern Airlines deal under which Immigration NZ will waive some visa documentation requirements for the airline's frequent flyers when they arrive. That's in spite of Mr Dean reportedly saying in an August 2011 article on the TravelTrade website that SkyCity was "working closely with China Southern Airlines to bring VIP gamblers into Auckland seamlessly".
SkyCity says Mr Dean's comments were misrepresented in that article.
The China Southern Airlines deal was revealed by NZ First Leader Winston Peters. Mr Peters produced internal emails which showed Immigration NZ's manager of Intelligence, Risk and Integrity, Shaun Driscoll, was concerned it would allow criminals into New Zealand more easily.
Mr Peters yesterday said Prime Minister John Key, who is also the Tourism Minister, "must have been involved at some point" in arranging the China Southern deal.
Mr Peters said Mr Key should "reveal the full extent of his involvement"' in the affair.
A spokesman for Mr Key said the Prime Minister had never had any discussions with SkyCity regarding visa requirements for wealthy Asian casino customers.
SkyCity spokesman Gordon Jon Thompson said the company had not agreed to any "fast track" visa arrangements with Immigration NZ.
"Our customers must meet the same requirements and go through the same processes as all other visitors travelling to New Zealand."
Mr Thompson said as a major tourism operator, SkyCity was "focused on attracting high spending Chinese tourists to New Zealand and we make no secret of that". "We believe it is good for New Zealand."

Customers who pre-order at GameStop will receive The Catacombs map. According to Capcom, the map features "booby traps ready to ensnare you around every corner."
Amazon customers will receive the High Seas Fortress map, which takes place on an aircraft character. Players will be able to explore both the interior and exterior of the ship, including the outdoor deck and narrow indoor hallways.
Finally, people who pre-order at Best Buy snag the Rail Yard map, which takes place in the subway at Tall Oaks. Battles range from the station platform to inside the trains, and even the roof.
Mercenaries mode, confirmed by Capcom earlier this week, operates as it has in previous Resident Evil games: players fight waves of enemies within a certain time limit, chaining together kills to earn high scores. Unlike other games in the series, RE6 will offer Mercenaries mode from the beginning of the game rather than requiring players to unlock it.
Resident Evil 6

Bruschetta is grilled bread seasoned with garlic and topped with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Variations may include toppings of spicy red pepper, tomato, vegetables, beans, cured meat, and/or cheese; the most popular American recipe involves basil, fresh mozzarella, and tomato. Bruschetta is usually served as a snack or appetizer. This dish is popular all over the world, although it originated in Italy.
(Source: Wikipedia)
I had a few of these for breakfast the other day. As with most things Italian that I make, this one too is a recipe from my favorite Food Network chef, Giada De Laurentiis' kitchen.
1 tomato, chopped
A good handful of fresh basil
2 garlic cloves
Olive oil
A loaf of Italian bread, sliced 1-inch thick
Fresh mozzarella, sliced ¼ inch thick
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In the bowl of a food processor, add chopped tomato pieces, basil leaves, 1 garlic clove and olive oil. Pulse a couple of times to get a coarse, but somewhat chunky mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
On a baking sheet lined with foil, line up bread slices. Toast in oven for about 5 minutes or until light golden brown. Working quickly, rub the garlic clove on each slice and then lay a piece of mozzarella cheese on top. Sprinkle a little salt on each slice. Place bread back in oven and melt cheese slightly. Remove from oven and spread one tablespoon of the tomato mixture on each piece. Serve warm.

Prospect Q&A: Bigs beckon Beckham
One step from Majors, former top pick doesn't feel pressure
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | January 11, 2012 5:00 AM
The shortstop, who turns 22 later this month, improved his defense and implemented a more aggressive approach at the plate. The results? He set career highs in hits (142), homers (12) and RBIs (70) while committing 22 errors, the fewest of his four-year professional career.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 Draft scored 94 runs and swiped 17 bases in 22 attempts in 131 games across two levels. The 120 strikeouts didn't bother him -- he realizes that number will decrease as he refines his swing and he knows it doesn't define him as a player.
Beckham was selected to the XM All-Star Futures Game for the first time this season, and he capped off a successful year by helping the Surprise Saguaros to a 26-10 record and the highest winning percentage (.722) in the history of the Arizona Fall League.
MiLB.com talked with Beckham about his journey through the Minors, immersing himself in sports from a young age and his go-to pizza spot in Durham, N.C.
MiLB.com: You got your first look at the Southern and International Leagues in 2011 after spending all of 2010 in Charlotte. What differences did you notice this year?
Beckham: I mean, at the end of the day, it's baseball. The main difference between the Florida State League and the International League and Southern League is that there's less people in the stands. [Also,] the pitchers aren't around the zone as much. In the International League, pitchers throw more pitches for strikes.
I've had good games when nobody's been in the stands, and I've had good games when there have been lots of people in the stands. Everybody likes to play in front of a crowd. Who doesn't love to do that? It always gets the adrenalin going and I love to play in front of crowds, but I wouldn't say I always have my best games in front of the big crowds.
MiLB.com: How would you say you handled yourself at the higher levels and in the Arizona Fall League?
Beckham: I feel like I handled it pretty well and I feel like I handled my own. I did pretty well and I'm happy. I actually got a leg kick this year, so I worked on that. I just tried to take advantage of the hitter's counts as far as 0-0 or 2-0 or 3-1 and counts like that. What I changed the most was that I was a lot more aggressive on hitters' counts this year than what I was in the past.
I loved the experience of the Fall League, just to be out there and to play with other players with so much talent and skill and to be able to produce and contribute to one of the best teams there. It was a great experience and I loved it. It was fun.
MiLB.com: Is there anything you've been specifically working on this offseason to prepare for 2012?
Beckham: Right now I'm just training hard at Athletes' Performance. I'm getting my legs stronger and getting my core stronger and preparing for a big Spring Training. My first day hitting was Dec. 20. It felt good. I was a little ... not rusty ... but I had a month off from baseball, so it was just about getting back into the swing of things.
MiLB.com: Being this close to the Major Leagues, do you ever feel the pressure of being a No. 1 Draft pick?
Beckham: I really don't even think about it. I don't look into it like, "Am I living up to expectations?" At the end of the day, everybody on the field has to come out and produce. It doesn't matter how high of a pick or how low of a pick you were.
I need to get better on defense and keep making solid contact with the ball. I know good things will happen. I don't feel any pressure at all.
MiLB.com: You've been able to travel a lot over the past couple years. What's your favorite ballpark to play in? Any restaurants nearby that you enjoy visiting?
Beckham: I would say the bigger cities with the biggest crowds, like when we played in Columbus, Ohio, in the playoff games with the Clippers for a championship. I guess you can say I love playing on the biggest stages and in the championship games and the games that mean something.
For food, in Durham I would recommend [pizza joint] Mellow Mushroom -- it's right across the street from the park. In Montgomery, [Ala.,] I recommend The Deli which is in downtown Montgomery.
MiLB.com: How do you keep busy on those bus rides? Chattanooga to Jacksonville must be a long trip.
Beckham: You handle it day by day. Some days your body feels great and others it doesn't. You still have to go and produce, it doesn't matter where you are. Road trips have never been an excuse and, speaking for myself, it never will be an excuse.
I listen to music and I have an iPad that I play games on. Sometimes I play cards with the fellas. We have a good time and enjoy ourselves. We know how to stay busy when we need to.
MiLB.com: When you're trying to stay loose in the clubhouse before a game, who do you tend to hang around with to keep the mood light?
Beckham: This year in Double-A I hung out with Matt Moore, Shane Dyer, Chris Archer, Nick Barnese, Stephen Vogt and guys like that. But our whole team was great. Everybody had a great attitude and I loved playing with the guys. I wouldn't really say there are any pranksters, but we knew how to have fun.
MiLB.com: When did you know you wanted a career in pro sports?
Beckham: When I was young, I was always around football and I was always around basketball and always around baseball in the yard or in recreation games or in middle school. The city I grew up in produced a lot of athletes, and we have a lot of athletic people that come out of Griffin.
When you're competing in the neighborhood or in the local gym, you're going to get beaten, but you never want to lose. The competitive nature in the city that I'm from is unreal.
MiLB.com: What's it like going back to Griffin today?
Beckham: When you go back and see the guys you're hanging with who aren't doing too good, it's tough. To know that they're struggling is hard. You wish the best for them, and you don't want to see them like that.
It's good to see everybody -- my teachers, my coaches, my mom, my auntie. It's always great to see your family and the friends who you grew up with. They're not scared of letting me know how proud they are, but I'm not going to let that get into my head. I'm not satisfied. It's not that I'm not where I want to be, but I'm not there yet. There's much better things to accomplish.
MiLB.com: Do you find your old coaches still try to offer you advice?
Beckham: Oh yeah. And I soak it all in because there might be this one thing that clicks and makes me think, "If I go about it this way, it might work." Things like that. I welcome the information from the guys that know me from way back. It's just on the field stuff. You kind of have to be a ballplayer to understand. It's just about life and about the game.
MiLB.com: What drives you to be the best you can be? What keeps you motivated?
Beckham: It's just the love of the game, man. It's knowing that I'm not even almost satisfied and that I won't be until it's my last day on the field. That's when I'll be satisfied. I'm going to keep pushing until I get to where I want to be.
I'm just an outgoing guy that likes to be around people and likes to have fun. I'm not going to let anybody get to me. I'm going to keep my head held up high, keep a smile on my face and go about my business the way I want to.

Donate now to support Marisa Levine
Friday, March 23, 2012
Q: What is your name?
Marisa Levine.
Q: Where are you from?
Brookline, MA.
Q: What is your role at Massachusetts General Hospital?
Development associate.
Q: Why did you choose to run the marathon for MassGeneral Hospital for Children (MGHfC)?
I'm running in memory of my college friend, Eric, who gave leukemia a serious fight before he passed away in 2008. He was a runner, and an active advocate and fundraiser for cancer research and care. He also spent a lot of time with the younger patients during his treatment, and spoke to classrooms about his experience with cancer. His family and friends continue to champion the cause, and it's a way to honor Eric's memory. MGHfC is giving patients the best chance at long and healthy lives, and the discoveries taking place, the care available and the talented and compassionate staff here are amazing.
Q: What kind of experience do you have as a runner?
I only started running in the spring of 2010, and this is my first marathon after lots of shorter races and two half marathons. I decided to give this a shot after watching friends and coworkers train and it's been awesome so far.
Q: What inspires you as a runner?
I know my friend Eric would be proud that I'm taking on this challenge—he was all about pushing himself, going on new adventures, and making an impact, and my marathon is a tribute to him.
Q: What has been your most memorable moment preparing for the marathon?
I've loved exploring the city as I go on my long runs, and the sense of accomplishment crossing off a crazy number of miles on a weekend morning is fantastic. Fundraising has also been really great—I'm so grateful for the support of friends, family and coworkers for this important cause. There have been some wonderful moments big and small, but I've really enjoyed it all—the running, the fundraising and the patient partner program are all such important aspects of the MGHfC marathon experience.
Q: What have you learned about your patient partner and what makes her special?
Lizany and her family are truly remarkable—they're so loving and positive in the face of the many health challenges Lizany has faced. Lizany is turning 3 this spring, and since Jordan and I met her and her family at the Storybook Ball in 2011, it's amazing to see her grow up and get healthier. She loves coloring and stuffed animals, and still carries the pink sequined bag she took to Storybook Ball! Our colleague, Jessica, also has a special relationship with Lizany's family and is our translator-- since our Spanish is mediocre at best—but Lizany and her mom are so patient with us!
Q: What are you most looking forward to about marathon day?
I've heard the Wellesley Scream Tunnel is unbelievable, and the finish line is what I'll be focused on all day, but I'm so excited to get to Mile 20 and see all of the patient partners and Mass General staff, friends and family

Tafoni Floating Homes Proposes Eco Houseboats
Tafoni Floating Homes is an idea that would keep you in sort of a holiday mood, throughout the day. The idea is to take housing to the water, living in houseboats that are mobile, don't use land and so don't require implied expenses and constructions like foundations. And the way designer Joanna Borek Clement envisions them, they're also very beautiful.
The houseboats will be divided into three major portions, the living room area would be put up front, followed by the kitchen and bedroom area, while the closet and toilet area would come last. Big windows in the design not only provide space for ample natural light, but also provide a great space to enjoy the scenery outside.
Tafoni houseboats have been designed in a way that makes mass production suitable, which should be good for both, the pocket and to some extent, the environment. The design was specifically created for those living at the Sausalito houseboat district of California.

The headline read, "When we multitask, we get stupid."
My too kind and loving wife looks up over her glasses and asks, "Have you been multitasking more than usual honey?"
I don't stop what I am doing, but continue to spin my pen, tap my foot, click-click on my computer, scan the 11 Web pages I have open on my desktop and reply, "Nothing I can't handle."
Her response is a confirming, "Hhmmmm."
Many of our conversations are like this; she says words that are not easy to spell since they are more guttural in nature and I answer without really hearing the question.
Besides, even though we are using the same words the meanings are completely different; I use man-speak and she uses woman-speak which is really the problem with all man-woman relationships. I can assure you when I say, "Hhmmmm." I mean a completely different thing than she does.
I suppose we don't have more problems than any other couple. I didn't even know we were having problems until she read a self-help book called The Five Languages of Love. Communication is very important in a relationship.
It isn't helping matters any that the Linguistic Society of America reports there are at least 6,809 languages and new ones being discovered each year.
Did you know that the Bible or portions have been translated into 2,197 languages? I don't know if the 6,809 languages include the five love-languages: "words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch."
I can't even speak English real good and now they want me to speak a love-language even gooder.
It used to be easier, men and women got along for many years with simplified language, pointing, grunting, or drawing pictures on rocks.
I think all self-help books like this should have warning labels, "Reading this book may cause marital problems." For heck sakes, it is worse than second hand smoke. You might die from a misprint!
This love language has its own dialect. For example I was trying to explain this to Bubba. "Imagine that you walk in the door and yer wife says 'I need words of affirmation to fill my love-tank and I was hoping for some quality time together.' Bubba, let me explain what she just said, "I would like to carry on an intelligent conversation where the man is required to turn off the TV, listen, not judge, not solve the problem, and not fall asleep, or click-click on his computer; and it may very well include a full body massage, manicure, pedicure, cuddling, spooning, and sensitive remarks affirming her beauty and self worth."
He grins, scratches, moves his abdomen to assist with digestion then says "How 'bout this for a language of love, 'I sure do love taters… where the heck is dinner, you know its football night?"
So our communication is still a work in progress. One day in complete frustration she stormed in like a SWAT team, megaphone in hand. She blarred, "You in the pajamas…Back away from the fridge!...Put the Haagen Dazs down, Don't even smell that donut, and Put the remote control on the ground and slide it this way. Now Chubby Hubby!!"
I did the only thing I could do; I tried to reason with her. "Honey honey honey. Let's don't get crazy here. I am still the man you know and love. Speak to me in that language of love. What did that book say? Words of affirmation? How about telling me I look good in tight pajamas?" Well, so much for the language of love in My Cave.

Wet and Wild!
I discovered this buried aluminum box full of moisture when I removed its cover. The trapped moisture had caused severe corrosion to the box as well as the wiring, which arced and tripped the circuit breaker.
Section 314.15 requires boxes, conduit bodies, and fittings to "be placed or equipped so as to prevent moisture from entering or accumulating within the box, conduit body, or fitting."Clearly, that did not happen here, and the result was a gooey mess of corrosion. In addition, the twist-on wire connectors used in this box were not specifically designed for use in a wet location. According to Sec. 300.5(B), "any connections or splices in an underground installation shall be approved for wet locations."
Lastly, Sec. 300.6(B) requires installers to provide supplementary corrosion protection for "aluminum raceways, cable trays, cablebus, auxiliary gutters, cable armor, boxes, cable sheathing, cabinets, elbows, couplings, nipples, fittings, supports, and support hardware embedded or encased in concrete or in direct contact with the earth."
The installer should have installed a small, nonmetallic handhole in place of the aluminum box and used wet location-rated twist-on wire connectors.
Is There a Plumber in the House?
I found this surprise during an infrared thermal scan. Just as some people replace a blown Edison-based fuse with a copper penny, somebody replaced these fuses with copper plumbing pipe hangers. This created a very dangerous situation, since these wires were essentially left with no overcurrent protection.
Most of us know that a fuse or circuit breaker is required to be installed in series with each ungrounded conductor. In accordance with 240.21, "overcurrent protection shall be provided in each ungrounded circuit conductor and shall be located at the point where the conductors receive their supply except as specified in 240.21(A) through (H)." Nowhere in (A) through (H) is there any mention of copper strap pipe hangers being an approved overcurrent protective device.
Because this feeder was supplying power to two elevators, we could also make reference to Art. 620. In accordance with 620.61(C), "Motor feeder short circuit and ground fault protection shall be as required in Art. 430, Part V." Sections 430.61 and 430.62 require that this feeder be provided with a protective device to protect against short circuits and ground faults. There are no exceptions that would ever allow the use of pipe hangers in place of fuses.

Apr 20, 2010 (CIDRAP News) – The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) yesterday updated its estimates for the number of pandemic H1N1 illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths, adding another month of data and bumping up the totals slightly.
From April 2009 to Mar 13 of this year, the CDC estimates about 60 million people were infected with the pandemic H1N1 virus, about 270,000 were hospitalized, and about 12,270 died.
The totals reflect small increases in disease burden that are in line with very low levels of flu activity across most parts of the nation for the past several weeks. The new estimates add 1 million more infections, 5,000 more hospitalizations, and 270 more fatalities to the total since the agency's Mar 12 update.
Continuing a pattern seen throughout the pandemic, the CDC's numbers show that the flu is exacting the greatest toll on younger age groups. It estimated 19 million cases occurred in children though age 17, representing about 25.7 % of this age-group, leading to 86,000 hospitalizations and 1,270 deaths. For adults ages 18 through 64 the estimate is 35 million cases, representing about 18.5% of this population, with 158,000 hospitalizations and 9,420 deaths.
The new estimates for people ages 65 or older—who are thought to have some protection because of past flu exposures—rose to 6 million cases, about 15.8% of the population, with hospitalizations rising to 26,000 and deaths to 1,580. In the CDC's last estimate, the percentage of older people infected with the virus was put at 13%.
All the numbers represent the midpoints of ranges of estimates the CDC produced with a new estimation method that it unveiled in November. Estimating the true burden is difficult, because many people who have the flu don't seek care, and only a few who see their doctors are tested for the virus. The CDC has said the number of confirmed cases greatly undercounts the true number of infections.

The video "Rivers Uniting Borders" summarizes the work and main achievements of BRIDGE: Building River Dialogue and Governance in Mesoamerica
July 2013. BRIDGE: Building River Dialogue and Governance is funded by the Hydro-diplomacy Programme of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). Initiated in mid-2010, the project has been carried out at three Mesoamerican river borders: Coatán (Mexico-Guatemala), Goascorán (Honduras-El Salvador) and Sixaola (Costa Rica-Panama).
BRIDGE aims to build governance capacities through learning, demonstration, leadership, and consensus-building in specific transboundary watersheds. The development and strengthening of champions of comprehensive water resource management in those areas is a vital component.
Ríos que Unen Fronteras ("Rivers Uniting Borders") describes the work and main achievements in the three project zones, while also opening the possibility of incorporating other Mesoamerican experiences in cooperation efforts focused on shared watersheds. The video shows how hydro-diplomacy materializes at different levels: from the local, with the champions in transboundary watersheds, to the ministerial, in water legislation projects that include the theme of transboundary basins.
The images, peoples and stories in this video point to the importance of sharing both challenges and problem-solving through good will and joint cooperation—a worthy contribution in celebration of the International Year of Water Cooperation.

Iowa Students Make It to White House Gates But Not Inside
(WASHINGTON) -- They didn't get the White House tour they had hoped for, but the group of Iowa students who are pushing the White House to reopen tours to the public made it to the White House gates Saturday morning.
The 6th graders from St. Paul's Lutheran School in Waverly, Iowa posed for photos outside the White House while holding individual paper signs spelling out the phrase, "The White House is our house! Please let us visit!" Onlookers cheered the kids in their efforts, with one may saying, "Way to go young people!"
"It's kind of disappointing, but it's still kind of fun to see the White House," Mosai Newsom, one of the sixth grade students, told ABC News.
Seth Abkemeier, another 6th grader who has gone on a White House tour on a previous visit to Washington, D.C., said it's important for people to have access to the history that can be seen on a White House tour.
"It shows our nation's history within the White House, and it's important we get to see this up close" Abkemeier said. "Like we've been saying for a whole week now – it's our house."
"I would really like it if you could open the White House, so we could let the tours in," Naomi Carpenter, a sixth grade student at St. Paul's Lutheran School, said when asked to send a message to the president.
On Friday, the sixth grade students received a tour of the Capitol where they looked at the Mall from the Speaker's balcony and stepped on the floors of the House and Senate chambers. After their stop at the White House Saturday, the kids were planning to hit the Smithsonian museums to take in more of the nation's history.
"You couldn't ask for a better learning environment," Lynn Brown, the students' sixth grade teacher, said. "It would have been a benefit and a plus to visit the White House, however, I think the kids take away more than just what they'll remember through pictures. The experience this has generated in their hearts and minds has been extraordinary."
And while they didn't get into the White House themselves, the kids hoped that others might benefit from their hard work.
"I guess it was OK if we didn't get to go to the White House, as long as other people get to," Newsom said.

Obama library foundation launches
A group of allies of President Barack Obama on Friday launched the Barack H. Obama Foundation, which will oversee the planning process for his presidential library.
It's a sign that, even as Obama tries to avoid becoming a lame duck, those around him are beginning to prepare for his post-presidency and think about what will come next.
Story Continued Below
The foundation will manage a selection process that aims to pick a site for the future library by early 2015. It's being led by the president's friend Marty Nesbitt, former Obama fundraiser Julianna Smoot and J. Kevin Poorman, the CEO of PSP Capital Partners, which was founded by Obama Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker.
"I'm humbled and honored that President Obama has entrusted me to lead this effort," Nesbitt said in a statement. "The president's future library will one day serve as an important part of our nation's historical record, and our mission is to build a library that tells President Obama's remarkable story in an interactive way that will inspire future generations to become involved in public service."
The foundation will manage an "open and accessible" planning process "in line with President Obama's longstanding commitment to transparency and fairness," the group said. The formal process will begin in February with a call for interested parties to express interest in the effort and with the foundation setting out core criteria for the selection process. In May, the foundation will follow it up with a Request for Proposals issued to "the most competitive entities." The foundation will announce a decision early next year.
The foundation will not accept donations from entities or organizations other than 501(c)(3)s. It will also refuse contributions from foreign nationals, registered foreign lobbyists and foreign agents. All contributions of $200 or more will be disclosed.
The president, first lady and White House staff will not be involved in fundraising until Obama is out of office.
Given the president's ties to Chicago, not to mention those of the foundation founders — Nesbitt and Poorman are both based there — the city is seen as a frontrunner. The University of Chicago, the University of Illinois at Chicago and Chicago State University have all expressed interest in hosting the library, and civic and economic development groups have also hinted at their own bids.
But former Obama White House chief of staff and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said last week that he thinks the city would have the best chance of landing the library if it puts forward a single proposal. It would also help Obama avoid offending fellow Chicagoans if he were to choose one plan there over others.
The University of Chicago was first out of the gate Friday afternoon with a statement on the foundation's launch. "I strongly believe the Obama Presidential Library would be ideal for one of our neighboring communities on the South Side of Chicago," university president Robert Zimmer said. "Such a location would reflect the personal and professional lives of the Obamas, as well as their commitments to society. A presidential library would mark a watershed moment for the South Side, catalyzing significant and sustained economic opportunity in an area poised to make the most of such promise."
The University of Hawaii and the state of Hawaii have also been candid about wanting to host an Obama library or other facility dedicated to his legacy, and they began dropping hints even before Obama was elected. The president's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, works for the university, and his parents met as students there. But the Chicago links of the foundation members — plus the decision of the foundation's founders to announce its launch in an interview with Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times — suggest that the odds are in the Windy City's favor.
There have also been signs that Columbia University, Obama's undergraduate alma mater, and Occidental College, where he began his undergraduate education, are also interested in the proposal process. Other institutions and municipalities may also emerge.
Skip Rutherford, a longtime friend of former President Bill Clinton who headed his library planning process, said that the decision on an Obama library will ultimately come down to "the president's choice."
"He'll listen to people around him, he'll think about his legacy, he'll look at if he can raise money from this thing if it's in a certain city or affiliated with a school," Rutherford said.
While several universities have expressed interest in hosting Obama, and most recent presidents have chosen to affiliate their libraries with universities, he could opt to go it alone. After plans to build Ronald Reagan's presidential library at Stanford University fell through, the 40th president chose to build an independent library in Simi Valley, Calif.
Even if Obama chooses to link his library to a university — as he might, especially if he wants to build an affiliated institute or school of public policy — it might not necessarily be built on campus. Obama could choose to have a library and think tank in Chicago and agree to the construction of an official museum in Hawaii.
Rather than siting his library on the campus of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Clinton chose to build a library and policy school closer to downtown. "He wasn't trying to lift a particular campus; he wanted to make economic development in Little Rock a priority," Rutherford said.
While previous presidents' libraries and associated institutions offer a guide for Obama and his team, there's no certain course for the president. "There are lots of good models," Rutherford said, after describing the setups chosen by Presidents Gerald Ford through George W. Bush. "But there will probably be an Obama model that's different than all the others."

TWD: The Hepburn Brownie Story
Just a few nights ago, we were watching the Philadelphia Story, one of our favorite movies. They just don't write dialog like that anymore, and, of course, Cary Grant doesn't hurt one bit. I think Bringing Up Baby is one of my all-time favorite movies, once again featuring that great Cary-Kate duo.
These Tribute-to-Katharine-Hepburn brownies were wonderfully gooey inside, with just a hint of cinnamon and coffee to brighten the flavors.
They did stay moist over a period of a few days. With several desserts in house at the moment, we can't overindulge too much, but I'd rather have too many desserts around than none at all.
While I do have a favorite brownie recipe, I like these a lot. I guess I tend toward the moist and gooey rather than the dry and cakey.
This recipe was chosen by Lisa of Surviving Oz, who won the recent contest for creating a new TWD Logo. Stop by the TWD blog to read about what the others thought.

Philadelphia Story was just on a couple of weeks ago and I never tire of it. I also like the Grace Kelly version High Society. Your brownies look perfect, btw. Thanks for dropping by my site and leaving a book/author suggestion...I will check it out for sure! Decide what you are taking to the fair yet? I am torn between yeast bread, scones, muffins, cookies, and a pie. I usually just do one, but this year, with all my newfound Dorie experience, I might do more. I should be doing YWPWT so I would feel more confident with the pie deal. Thanks for dropping by...I think I have missed a week over here, so I better go back and check!

Although stocks started off last week on a down note thanks to growing worries over Europe, markets staged a late session rally in Tuesday trading and carried this into Wednesday and Thursday as well. These gains came on hopes for government support for euro zone banks coupled with relatively solid data from American markets to boost sentiment across a number of industries. Then, on Friday, the employment figure showed a robust increase in nonfarm payrolls, as the consensus of a 65,000 increase was crushed by an actual figure of 103,000. Furthermore, investors also saw the overall unemployment rate edge down slightly to 9.1% while the average workweek also rose, finishing up at 34.3 hours. These bullish reports suggested to many that the economy might be able to avoid a double dip recession, at least for the time being. However, a report from Fitch, which downgraded Italy and Spain, sent markets tumbling and erased much of the optimism from the jobs report heading into the weekend
This week, investors will get welcome the return of earnings season as a number of key companies across a variety of industries give their quarterly updates. Including traditional first-to-report company Alcoa, investors will also pay close attention to reports from JP Morgan to get a better handle on the American banking sector, as well as food and beveage giant Pepsi, and tech giant Google. Beyond these key reports, investors will also look to data releases from a number of international markets including CPI from Germany and the euro zone as a whole, as well as a crucial report on loan growth and consumer prices in China. Overall it looks to be a pretty data-filled week giving investors plenty to chew on as we reach the mid-point of October. With this backdrop, investors should look for the following three ETFs to be in for an active week:
iShares FTSE China 25 Index Fund ( FXI)
Why FXI Will Be In Focus: Worries continue to grow over the health of the Chinese market as fears over inflation and a hard landing are pushing investors quickly out of this popular product. FXI has lost close to 26% over the past quarter including a nearly 14.7% tumble in the past month alone, suggesting that sentiment is quickly and forcefully going negative on the country. Thanks to this, investors will likely look to two key pieces of data due out this week in order to set the record straight; New Loan figures and CPI.
Investors are expecting a modest increase in new loans but are looking for CPI, on a year-over-year basis, to fall slightly to 6.1%. Should both of these figures come in as predicted, it could help to cool some worries about the Chinese economy and help boost FXI on the week. If, however, inflation increases and new loan growth continues to soar, many will grow increasingly worried over a bubble in China, causing FXI's losses to likely accelerate on the week [also see ETF Research Report Now Available: China ETFs In Focus].
First Trust DJ Internet Index Fund ( FDN)
Why FDN Will Be In Focus: One of the few companies from the technology sector that is reporting this week is Google, the internet search leader and developer of the Android platform. The consensus estimate calls for earnings of about $8.73 a share but there is some speculation growing that Google may beat this mark easily, and post earnings in the $9.19 range instead. Should this happen, it could signal a rebound in tech and it would go a long way to reversing GOOG's recent weakness in terms of share price.
Google currently takes the top spot in FDN, ensuring that any moves from the firm will have an outsized impact on the performance of FDN. Currently, GOOG makes up about 11.3% and is the only company in the 41 stock fund to have a double digit weighting. Thanks to this, as well as Google's reputation as a leader in the space, this week's earnings report could move FDN sharply on the week [ Tech ETFs In Focus: Highlighting Some Hyper-Targeted Options].
Global X Aluminum ETF ( ALUM)
Why ALUM Will Be In Focus: Once again earnings season is upon us, and that means one thing; quarterly results from the Aluminum Corporation of America, better known as Alcoa, are ready to lead things off. Expectations look to be rather high for the firm as the consensus estimate calls for EPS of 23 cents, a sharp increase from the year ago period in which the company had earnings of nine cents a share. On the revenue side, hopes are less extreme as analysts are looking for a 19.3% surge in sales when compared to the year ago period.
AA makes up nearly 10% of ALUM, enough to give the company the second biggest spot in the fund, just behind Rio Tinto. Given this high weighting, and the relative lack of other components- the fund holds just 22 companies in total- this week's report from the company could have an outsized impact on the Global X fund going forward [see more on ALUM's Fact Sheet].

AMERICUS - The Georgia Southwestern men's soccer team surrendered a goal to Flagler less than two minutes into Wednesday's match, then played even with the Saints the following 78 minutes before allowing two late scores in a 3-0 loss at Hurricane Field.
Zach Shanahan was the Hurricane killer as he had a role in all three goals. Shanahan fed a charging Triston Hall for the first Flagler score before taking matters into his own hands for the two insurance goals. Shanahan scored at the 79:54 mark and punched in a quick feed from Liam O'Brien less than a minute later.
Flagler (3-3-2, 1-2-1 PBC) finished with a 16-1 shots on goal advantage and an 8-2 margin in corner kicks.
Joe Cullip saved 10 between the pipes for GSW. Camp Bissell stopped one for Flagler.
Southwestern (2-5-1, 0-3 PBC) returns to the pitch on Saturday for a 7:30 p.m. match at USC Aiken.

DAYTONA BEACH— Phoenix East Aviation, a flight school based at Daytona Beach International Airport, recently celebrated its 40th anniversary of training pilots in international aviation.
School officials say Phoenix East's anniversary is telling of the institution's ability to adapt to and help innovate the ever-changing aviation industry.
The anniversary celebration took place Aug. 25 at Riverside Pavilion in Port Orange.
Ghassan Reslan, the flight school's chief executive officer, is a former international airline pilot.
"We are celebrating this significant anniversary with all our students from all over the world," he said. "We are one of the few U.S. academies that is truly international with students from all over the globe."
Phoenix East Aviation provides pilot training and specialization in professional flight instruction. The school has 275 students and employs 73 workers.
The flight school occupies a 12,000-square-feet facility at 561 Pearl Harbor Drive. The school also has roughly three acres of ramp space at the airport.
Phoenix East was founded in Lawrence, Mass., in 1972, by Nino Ciancetta, a senior pilot with U.S. Air (now known as U.S. Airways).
In the first years of Phoenix East Aviation, Ciancetta was regional vice president of the Airline Pilots Association, sporadically from 1969 through 1973.
He retired from U.S. Airways with over 31 years and 40,000 flight hours of service.
Ciancetta later moved Phoenix East Aviation to Daytona Beach in 1984 for more favorable flying weather, according to Pat Cobleigh, the flight school's director of marketing.
Ciancetta passed away in 2006 at age 80.
Cobleigh said Phoenix East's anniversary is a "confirmation of the quality of training, management and financial stability of Phoenix East Aviation."
She added that Phoenix East is one of the first flight schools to use Apple iPads as part its curriculum.
Phoenix East Aviation is nationally accredited through the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training and is approved by the Florida Department of Education as a certified vocational rehabilitation school.
The school is qualified to offer Veteran Benefits under the G.I. Bill. Phoenix East is authorized by the federal government to offer F-1, M-1 and J-1 visas for foreign students.
These Visas permit foreign students and instructors to enter the U.S. to attend and teach at government-approved schools.
Stephen Cooke, director of business development at Daytona Beach International Airport, said of Phoenix East: "They are a major aviation academy in the area—they do a great job."
He added, "We hope they will be here to celebrate their 80th anniversary."
