ANNOUNCER: Have we ever seen a visiting player getting the crowd loud …
KING KAUFMAN: Things are not going great for the Los Angeles Chargers.
ANNOUNCER: … against the home team offense.
KAUFMAN: A three-game inning streak has them at 3-4, but they're having trouble filling the Stub Hub center. That's their temporary home in L.A., and it's tiny. It only seats 27,000 people. And so far, when the crowd has gotten electric, it's been for the visiting team, not the Bolts.
This can't be what owner Dean Spanos had in mind when he moved his team 100 miles up the freeway from San Diego, where the Chargers played for more than a half century. In a few years, the Chargers will move into a palatial new stadium being built by their new cross-town rivals, the Rams, who moved from St. Louis last year. The race is on to capture the hearts of Angelenos.
There's already been whispering — it's been denied by the Chargers and the NFL — that the team could retreat to their old home in San Diego. Even if that were on the table, there'd be two problems. Their old stadium is still old. And their old fans? They may not want 'em back.
MUSIC: Opening theme, "Big Swing Band" by Audionautix.
KAUFMAN: I'm King Kaufman and this is Can't Win 4 Losing, a podcast about losing. On this episode: Maya Kroth reports from San Diego on a city that lost its team — and a team that lost its city. Plus: Another city that lost another team: The St. Louis Browns. They became the Baltimore Orioles 63 years ago, but a few people remember them in Missouri. And we'll talk to one of the 14 living ex-Brownies. Pack up the moving van, it's gonna be a bumpy ride. This is Can't Win 4 Losing.
Sportswriter Joe Posnanski once wrote that there's no such thing as a long-suffering San Diego sports fan, because no matter how bad your teams are you still get to be in San Diego. But what happens when the teams leave. Maya Kroth went there to find out.
SONG: San Diego Super Chargers, San Diego Super Chargers
MAYA KROTH: For John Abundez, Chargers game day was a ritual that began as early as 6 am. That's when he and his Chargers fan club would head down to the stadium parking lot to set up for the tailgates. And Bolt Pride tailgates? They were epic.
JOHNNY BOLT PRIDE (JBP): We had it down where we would go in there before the parking lot opened. We would have some people already start setting up our tents. You would have breakfast and lunch. And two DJs. We were that big. It was more like a block party.
KROTH: Abundez is better known to Chargers fans by his nickname: Johnny Bolt Pride. In a town where people are more devoted to their burritos than their sports teams, he's about as hardcore as it gets. Apparently, there's an NFL Fan Hall of Fame, and he's in it. In fact, he was inducted just one day after his hero, Junior Seau, was enshrined in the real one.
JBP: When Junior Seau came on board from USC and he got drafted and said "Yeah, Day-go, baby!" that's when a lot of people took a lot more pride on both being the home team, San Diego, and having a star from San Diego, born and raised.
KROTH: Bolt Pride started up 26 years ago, and its ranks swelled with fans as Seau led the team to its first and only Super Bowl appearance after the '94 season.
ANNOUNCER: Incomplete! And the San Diego Chargers flood the field! Led by Seau and O'Neill on defense, the Chargers will go to the Super Bowl for the first time.
KROTH: Even in losing seasons, Bolt Pride tailgates would attract hundreds of fans to the parking lots outside Qualcomm Stadium 10 Sundays a year. But those days are over. And it's all because of that stadium.
A brutalist behemoth opened in 1967, Qualcomm — The Q, for short — was a bomb that everyone in San Diego knew was going to go off eventually. We just didn't know when. When San Diego hosted the Super Bowl in 2003, then-NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue was so unimpressed by the conditions at The Q that he threatened never to bring the Super Bowl back to town until the city had a new stadium. And the Super Bowl never did come back to San Diego. And it's true: The Q was badly in need of an update.
JBP: Something as simple as starting off with the televisions. You have televisions are the box, old-school tubes that the buttons are falling off, you know, some of them weren't even clear. Forget being HD, just be clear!
KROTH: Most observers, though, thought Tagliabue's comment was motivated by one thing: money. A new stadium would mean pricier luxury boxes — these are the NFL's real moneymakers — and that would mean more dough for the league and the Spanos family, which owns the team.
DALLAS McLAUGHLIN: The commissioner at the time came out and talked so much crap about Qualcomm, saying how it was a crappy stadium, it was not up to standards.
KROTH: That's writer and San Diego sports commentator Dallas McLaughlin.
McLAUGHLIN: But he said that so that the city would go, "Oh shit, we need to help the Spanoses out, get a new stadium, otherwise we're not gonna get another Super Bowl!"
KROTH: McLaughlin has lived in San Diego almost all his life.
McLAUGHLIN: I've been here since I was 3 years old. And I'm 4 now. So one year.
KROTH: While McLaughlin grew up a Charger fan, these days, there are few things he hates more than Chargers owner Dean Spanos, who he says tried to bully the city into building him a new stadium, like it was their civic duty.
McLAUGHLIN: For as much as he wants to say that he loves San Diego, he's very anti San Diego. Like Spanos and his family has always lacked tact and compassion and understanding. And it's hard when you're billionaires: Why would you ever understand anything?
KROTH: You might've heard of the NFL's blackout rule, which said games that weren't sold out couldn't be shown on TV in the home team's market. The Chargers were one of the only teams to keep enforcing the rule even after the league made it easier to drop it. To make things worse, the Chargers had a deal with the city that required taxpayers to pick up the tab for any unsold tickets.
McLAUGHLIN: You don't need a good stadium to play good football. What you need is a good football team to inspire a town to build you a new stadium.
KROTH: Now, this isn't the whole story. the Chargers went to the playoffs five times in the six years after Tagliabue made his Super Bowl threat. If it were just about enthusiasm for the team, the stadium deal might've gotten done then. But San Diego — an anti-tax stronghold that was broke after a city pension scandal — was in no position to pony up the cash.
SONG: Man, I woke up this morning, turned on the news and found out our Chargers are leaving. It's gotta be a bad dream. I'm going back to sleep.
KROTH: But the team was unwilling to finance its new stadium privately, so negotiations with the city dragged on for more than a decade and never really went anywhere. In 2016, the Chargers came up with one final plan to stay in San Diego, a Frankenstein's monster of a project that mashed together a football stadium and a convention center. They called it: "The Convadium." And they wanted to pay for it using more than a billion dollars in public funds. Here's McLaughlin again.
McLAUGHLIN: It like didn't make any sense. Their big selling point, I shit you not: "We can finally house boat shows." You're like "Who wants a boat show?" Like, who in San Diego is like, "God I wish we had more boat shows?" It was CLEAR that no one wanted this, they kept adding in more things, like there was gonna be this new San Diego blood bank that was gonna be in the stadium. There was going to be like a hospital in the stadium. All this crazy stuff was just now going to be in the stadium, the Convadium. And people were like, "What are you doing?"
MATT HALL: It just was a pretty terrible plan that they cooked up on their own without a lot of buy-in from others.
KROTH: That's Matt Hall, the editorial and opinion director at the San Diego Union-Tribune. The paper urged readers not to vote for the Convadium when it was put on the ballot in last November's election. It needed to win two-thirds of the vote in order to pass.
HALL: You can't get 67 percent of San Diegans to agree on much. There's not an appetite for taxpayer funded stadiums as there used to be, so it was always going to be an uphill battle.
KROTH: It didn't help the Chargers' case that John Oliver did a whole segment on his HBO show about what a bad deal stadiums are for cities. Even skater Tony Hawk came out against it.
TONY HAWK: I love the Chargers, but if they go, we still have the beach, the Zoo, Blink-182, Mexico, the sunshine, Nick Cannon, Comic Con, and me, Tony Hawk. So on November 8th, vote no on the Convadium. It's not a real thing.
KROTH: But Johnny Bolt Pride was devastated at the idea of losing the team he'd grown up with, and he did all he could to mobilize fans to vote yes on the Convadium. That rap you heard earlier?
SONG: San Diego, the 2nd-largest city …
KROTH: That was his idea.
SONG: They deserve a brand new stadium.
San Diego yell Save Our Bolts
Charger fans yell Save Our Bolts
Everybody yell Save Our Bolts
You know how we ride, this is Charger pride
KROTH: They even filmed a video of rapper C-Siccness riding around San Diego in a low-rider painted Charger blue and gold. Obviously, it didn't work. Matt Hall explains.
HALL: So they weren't even close to passing it, and they didn't wait around very long after they lost that campaign. I think they were outta town two months later.
KROTH: When the news broke that the Chargers really were leaving, fans were furious. A lifelong fan named Dan Wellington egged the team's headquarters in the middle of the night.
DAN WELLINGTON: This just fuckin' sucks. Yeah, there's no way that being a Chargers fan that I can root for an L.A. team.
KROTH: The next day an angry mob showed up at the stadium and burned their Chargers gear. Johnny Bolt Pride was there too, and he didn't like what he saw.
JBP: What I was trying to do is have fans be strong, and keep it classy. Because, you know, you hear the Ron Burgundy, "Keep it classy, San Diego."
KROTH: Dallas McLaughlin saw it differently.
McLAUGHLIN: I mean, what a fun thing to do! There was kids like stomping on jerseys and stuff, it was beautiful! It was great! But that's what you get. You're doing that. Dean Spanos did that. He made that decision, and I think it's funny when people come out like "Oh this is disgraceful, we shouldn't be seeing—" Why? What's disgraceful is this billionaire taking away this kid's favorite thing in the world 'cause he wants more money.
KROTH: Just by moving the team 100 miles up the freeway to L.A., the Spanos family increased the value of their franchise dramatically. One sports economist predicted it could be worth twice as much in lL.A. as it was in San Diego, a difference of more than a billion dollars.
McLAUGHLIN: From a business standpoint, I can't blame them. But at the same time, they're assholes, and they should be treated as such. And in L.A. they are being treated as such.
ANNOUNCER: Obviously the big news today involves Los Angeles. The Chargers are coming to L.A. Why is it the Chargers are coming? Like, how do you feel about …
KROTH: One Angeleno in particular was really outspoken about the move: rapper and Raider fan Ice Cube. Here's Cube on the ESPN-LA morning show.
ICE CUBE: I don't know what's going on, man. This is definitely heartbreaking news, man. I don't want the Chargers, I'm not gonna lie. Matter of fact, I offered San Diego the Clippers if they'd just keep the Chargers and nobody called me back. [Laughter]
KROTH: Here he is again on the Rich Eisen show, saying what a lot of other people were thinking.
ICE CUBE: It's totally unfair. It's unfair to San Diego. The NFL gotta get ahold of this. They make too much money. Build them stadiums for they teams.
KROTH: As ESPN's Alden Gonzalez pointed out, a whole generation of L.A. football fans grew up rooting for the Raiders, or some other team. What incentive do they have to support a mediocre team like the Chargers? Top sportswriters like the L.A. Times' Bill Plaschke basically told the Chargers to go home. Watching this all go down was pretty cathartic for jilted charger fans. Matt Hall explains.
HALL: San Diego and Los Angeles have this big rivalry, so to lose a team is one thing, to lose it to Los Angeles was an insult to injury.
KROTH: But even San Diegans like McLaughlin, who were happy to say good riddance to the Chargers, felt sorry for the fans.
McLAUGHLIN: And it is a big thing. It's this thing that was a part of your life forever, just gone, It's this big piece of someone's life that they watched with their brothers and their fathers and their grandfathers. For some people, it's the only thing they could probably talk about with the other men in their family. And I felt awful for those people, because it's not fair to them.
KROTH: Johnny Bolt Pride says the move to L.A. has sparked a civil war among fans. On one side: the Chargers-forever camp. On the other: the jersey-burners who don't want anything to do with the team anymore.
JBP: You see somewhere between 40-something percent on one side and you see 40-something percent on the other side, and then the other 20 that like, just in shock.
KROTH: The Bolt Pride Facebook page has lost about a third of its followers since the news broke. As for Johnny:
JBP: Yes, I am a Charger fan. And I will continue to be a Chargers fan. I have never worn an owner's name on the back of any jersey.
KROTH: Does the Chargers saga signal a shift in the relationship between Americans and the NFL? Though pro football is still America's favorite sport, being a football fan today means grappling with the sport's dark side, from abusive players to corporate greed to concussions. That last one hit San Diego in a particularly painful way when beloved Chargers linebacker Junior Seau — that homegrown hero San Diegans got so excited about when he was drafted — committed suicide after suffering for years from the effects of CTE, a condition related to brain injury that's been posthumously diagnosed in more than 100 football players.
Some even see the loss of the Chargers as a win for San Diego. Dallas McLaughlin.
McLAUGHLIN: Oh, I think it's a huge win. Not having the NFL be in your city is a win. There's no way it's not. I mean, how is this a loss? What did we lose? We lost a half empty stadium, we lost a team losing on television, if you could watch it on television. We didn't lose anything. We lost a huge embarrassment of a franchise, in what I consider to be a sport that's on the decline. And I'm proud of San Diego for standing up to the NFL.
KROTH: As the Union-Tribune's Matt Hall explains.
HALL: You're not gonna see many taxpayer subsidized stadiums in any sport, in any major sport, going forward. It's just fans and taxpayers have wised up. Now you see the last few stadiums that have been built have been financed privately.
KROTH: Will San Diego ever get another NFL team? It's hard to say. It happened for L.A. and Baltimore and Houston and Cleveland — all cities that lost their NFL team and then got a new one years later. But Hall, for one, hopes that San Diego football is gone for good.
HALL: I don't know if San Diego wants that or will get that or should have it. It just seems like, you know what? We had a team, it's gone now. Let's move on. Let's do something else.
KROTH: For now, the old Qualcomm Stadium sits silent on autumn Sundays, a concrete husk with an unknown future. In the parking lot, if you listen close enough, you can almost hear the echo of a Bolt Pride tailgate.
SONG: San Diego Super Chargers, San Diego Super Chargers!
KAUFMAN: Maya Kroth is a freelance print and audio reporter based in Mexico City. You can find her work at MayaKroth.com.
Cheer up, San Diego, this too shall pass. Look at St. Louis. They didn't just lose the Rams. The Arizona Cardinals used to play there, and so did the Atlanta Hawks and Baltimore Orioles. The St. Louis Browns moved to Baltimore in 1954. You think anybody in the Lou still thinks about them?
The St. Louis Browns fan club, circa 2017 – next, on Can't Win 4 Losing.
* * *
KAUFMAN: St. Louis baseball! Clydesdales.
ANNOUNCER: A swing and a miss, and that's a winner!
KAUFMAN: Winning.
ANNOUNCER: St. Louis has a World Series winner.
ANNOUNCER: The Cardinals are champs in 2007.
ANNOUNCER: Which sports teams have
KAUFMAN AND ANNOUNCER: the best fans in baseball?
ANNOUNCER: According to the Deadspin blog, the St. Louis Cardinals do.
EMMETT McAULIFFE: First in booze. First in shoes. Last in the American League. St. Louis.
KAUFMAN: Whoa, wait a minute. Last? In the American League?
ED MICKELSON: I drove in the last run ever for the St. Louis Browns.
KAUFMAN: The St. Louis Browns. They check off two boxes for Can't Win 4 Losing, a podcast about losing. They spent 52 years in St. Louis, and in 40 of those, they had a losing record. They lost 1,000 more games than they won. And then? They were gone. St. Louis lost its team. They moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles.
BURTON BOXERMAN: I felt very, very despondent because here was a team that I rooted for since I knew baseball until '53. I was very depressed.
KAUFMAN: Burton Boxerman is an author and baseball historian who started rooting for the Browns in 1944. He was 11, and they were in their first and only World Series. The other team? The St. Louis Cardinals.
BOXERMAN: I don't know why or how, whether I flipped a coin or just decided, I figured I'll root for the Browns in the World Series. Well, they lost the World Series. That didn't bother me. I became intrigued with them. And from then on until '53, I was a Brownie fan.
KAUFMAN: He wasn't the only one, but … kinda almost. The Browns played in St. Louis for 52 years, and for most of that time, they shared a ballpark with the Cardinals. And the Cardinals outdrew them by 10 million people.
BOXERMAN: I ushered at the Cardinal games. I was a temporary usher. I was called when they knew they were gonna have large crowds. I was never called to a Brownie game. They didn't need an usher.
KAUFMAN: And yet, here we are, 63 years after they skipped town, and there still exists something called …
McAULIFFE: The St. Louis Browns fan club.
KAUFMAN: This is Emmett McAuliffe. He's a lawyer and a fan club board member. His office is filled with Browns merchandise, which is pretty cool stuff. That's one of the reasons McAuliffe, who's in his late 50s, became a fan of a team that left town before he was born.
ANNOUNCER: Well, as you know by now, the St. Louis Browns, managed by Luke Sewell, are in the driver's seat, leading by two games to one. But the man of Billy Southworth, the Cardinals, are out to even things up this afternoon.
McAULIFFE: There's so much cool Browns memorabilia because that's one of the things that, you know, when you're a losing team, you try other things, you're more experimental. So they experimented with things like having a Brownie elf, which people would have thought that was too cutesy, too feminite, too cartoonish. So we have all this great sort of commercial art and it's in various tones of brown, orange, sometimes you get a brown-gold. You get all this great memorabilia to collect.
KAUFMAN: To the extent that anybody but baseball history nerds like me knows anything about the St. Louis Browns, they're likely to know only a few things. They were owned at the end by the great baseball showman Bill Veeck.
BILL VEECK: Well, I happen to have a very ridiculous theory, according to many ballclub operators, that it should be fun.
KAUFMAN: They only won that one pennant, and that was during World War 2, when everything was thrown off by so many players being in the military, and they briefly had a one-armed outfielder named Pete Gray.
ANNOUNCER: His arm was lost when he was 6, but that didn't kill his spirit, nor his dreams of making the big leagues. His batting average is good, though most of his hits are singles.
KAUFMAN: But if you only know one thing about the Browns, it's probably this: Eddie Gaedel.
BOXERMAN: I was at the game when Eddie Gaedel came out of the, he came out of the cake.
KAUFMAN: That's Boxerman. Eddie Gaedel was a dwarf. An entertainer 3 feet, 7 inches tall. He was Bill Veeck's greatest stunt. Veeck had promised the media that between games of a doubleheader in 1951, he had a whopper in store. The occasion was, well, the 50th anniversary of the American League maybe, or some kind of tribute to Falstaff Beer, a sponsor. Whatever you wanted. It was just an excuse.
They wheeled a big paper maché cake out onto the field between games and Gaedel popped out in a Browns uniform. The newspaper writers were like, "you're slippin' Bill. That was lame." The Falstaff beer guys were all, seriously?
BOXERMAN: Well, I saw him walk up, it was — Zack Taylor promised a surprise. Nobody expected it.
KAUFMAN: Boxerman was in the stands that day. What he saw was that Veeck wasn't done. Zack Taylor was the manager. In the bottom of the first, he sent Gaedel up to pinch-hit for the leadoff hitter. The number on the back of his little uniform was a fraction. 1/8th. That uniform belonged to the batboy, Bill DeWitt Junior. Remember that name.
BOXERMAN: I said what's going on here. And then the umpire stops the game and there's a question of the contract, and Zack Taylor shows, and Cain was pitching for the Tigers, and Bobby Swift was catching.
KAUFMAN: The Browns had signed Gaedel to a contract and sent it to the league office at the last possible moment Friday afternoon. They knew nobody'd look at it. It's 1951. You can't just text the commissioner for a ruling. Taylor knew the Tigers would squawk so he had a copy of the valid document in his pocket to show to the umpire. A contract's a contract. Play ball!
BOXERMAN: What was interesting was reading the account afterwards. The story goes, and I'm assuming it's true, that Bill Veeck called Eddie Gaedel into his office and told him that he was going to pinch hit, and he was given instructions that he was not to take the bat off his shoulders.
KAUFMAN: There's different versions of this next part of the story. Veeck was a former Marine sharpshooter. I like the version where he's the one on the roof of the stadium.
BOXERMAN: I read that Veeck told Gaedel that he had a marksman, a guy with a rifle that never missed. And he told Gaedel, "You take that bat off your shoulder, and I'm gonna give the signal." I don't know whether that's true, but he took four balls in a row.
KAUFMAN: You've probably seen that picture of Gaedel at the plate, bat cocked, the Tigers catcher Bob Swift on his knees, catching a pitch shoulder high — which is over Gaedel's head. The next day the league office voided Gaedel's contract. He said "They ruined my career!"
That was some day for the Browns, but mostly, their time in St. Louis was kind of dreary. They lost a lot. The Cardinals did too in the early days of the 20th century, and St. Louis was anyone's city for the taking. The Cardinals won out. Here's Emmett McAuliffe.
McAULIFFE: Sportsman's Park was owned by the Browns, not the Cardinals. And the Browns owners, Phil Ball, expanded Sportsman's Park because he had every expectation that the '20s were going to be their decade. They had Sisler, they had Baby Doll Jacobson, they had Ken Williams, they had Jack Tobin, they had Urban Shocker.
KAUFMAN: They had guys named Baby Doll Jacobson AND Urban Shocker. I'm ready to buy a ticket right now.
McAULIFFE: So the Cardinals, in my imagining of it, sort of hunkered up, or slinkered up to the Browns and said "Hey, why don't you rent your stadium to us when you're not using it, because we're tired of fixing up Robison Field." And the Browns said yes, so the Cardinals saved all this money on stadium upkeep.
KAUFMAN: The Cardinals took all that money they saved and they invented the farm system, which provided the foundation for their dynasty of the 20s, 30s and 40s. That farm system was Branch Rickey's idea. He had it when he was the general manager of the St. Louis Browns, but he and the Browns owner, Phil Ball, didn't go along, so he jumped to the Cardinals, where his idea helped produced nine pennants and six world series in 21 years. The Browns languished. They were always broke. Whenever they got a good player, they had to sell him off.
MICKELSON: There were a lot of good ballplayers that played with the Browns, but they never finished with the Browns because they were sold off.
KAUFMAN: This is Ed Mickelson, a first baseman who played for the Browns in 1953, their last year before they moved to Baltimore. That was him at the beginning of the story saying he drove in the last run in team history. He's 91 now. He lives in St. Louis County, and he's one of 14 former Browns still alive. Another one is his pal Don Larsen, the only man to throw a perfect game in the World Series. Not for the Browns, of course.
ANNOUNCER: Strike 3! A no-hitter, a perfect game for Don Larsen! Yogi Berra runs out there, he leaps …
KAUFMAN: Mick, as his friends call him, is the first to admit he was not a star. He had a cup of coffee with the Browns, as he also did with the Cardinals and Cubs. But the Browns did have some good players. They were a major league team. Whenever you talk to someone who knows about the Browns, they start listing the good players the Browns had.
VOICES: People like Roy Sievers, Hank Arft, Don Larsen, Vic Wertz, Johnny Groth, hit .300, hit some home runs, Roy Sievers, Sisler, Bill Jennings, Baby Doll Jacobson, Ken Williams, Matt Batts, Sherman Lollar and Clint Courtney, Don Lenhart, Jack Tobin, Urban Shocker, today Ellis Kinder would be a tremendous closer.
KAUFMAN: Ed Mickelson.
MICKELSON: It wasn't that bad a team. Yeah, but we still lost 100 games, so something wasn't right.
BOXERMAN: When I was a kid I would put my radio under the pillow.
KAUFMAN: Burton Boxerman.
BOXERMAN: My father would say "It's time to go to bed, turn the radio off. What are you doing?" I said "I'm listening to the Browns." He said, "Well what's going on?" I said "It's the top of the ninth and the score is 5-0 in favor of the Browns." And my dad said "Turn the radio off. They're gonna win." I said "No, they're not." They could invent more ways to lose a game.
KAUFMAN: When Veeck bought the Browns in 1951 he vowed to outpromote the Cardinals and drive them out of St. Louis. It might have worked too. Attendance almost doubled in 1952, and believe it or not the Cardinals owner, who had to sell because he had legal problems, was fielding offers for the team from people ready to move it to Houston and Milwaukee. But then a local interest stepped up and bought the Cardinals: Anheuser Busch.
McAULIFFE: When he looked at what he'd have to spend to keep up with the brewery, he knew he couldn't compete with that.
KAUFMAN: Browns attendance cratered. Veeck looked for a way to keep the team in St. Louis, but he had no allies among American League owners, partly because they thought he was a clown, but mostly because he thought they were a bunch of idiots and he wasn't shy about saying so. After a lame-duck year he had to sell, and the team moved to Baltimore. Burton Boxerman was at the last game.
BOXERMAN: In the eighth inning, they made an announcement that's got to be the saddest thing I ever heard. He implored, he asked the fans at the ballpark, about 3,000, he said "Please do us a favor: If you caught a foul ball, would you please throw it back." They ran out of baseballs. It was pathetic!
MICKELSON: We played the last game was on September 27th, 1953. We played the White Sox. And Duane Pillette pitched 12 innings, and the White Sox pitcher, Billy Pierce, pitched 12 innings and the Browns lost 2-1.
KAUFMAN: It was 11 innings. Ed Mickelson was batting second for the Browns that day and playing first base.
MICKELSON: So we went out in Brownie style. We lost our 100th game. We won 54, we lost 100, and I drove in the last run ever for the St. Louis Browns. That was in about the fourth or fifth inning. I thought we had it won until Jungle Jim Rivera hit one on top of the right field pavilion and we went 11 innings and lost.
KAUFMAN: Burton Boxerman says that St. Louis wasn't like Chicago or New York — you didn't have to choose between the Cardinals and the Browns. You could root for both. When the Browns moved to Baltimore, most fans just focused on the Cardinals, who were a little down at the time but they started winning again in the '60s. Boxerman, though, was a man without a team.
BOXERMAN: 10 years later I decided I have to find another team to root for. And this might seem funny but it's the truth. I decided to find a team that played almost as bad as the Browns, and that was the Cubs. They lost games exactly the way of the Browns. I could tell you stories about how the Browns — horrible. Horrible.
KAUFMAN: Horrible. So why? Why root for such a bad team. Why does anyone even remember them now?
BOXERMAN: There was just something that drew me to the Browns. I don't know, maybe people, you associate the Browns with just the way life is. It's not always happy. It's not always successful. So the Browns were a reality. Don't ask me why.
KAUFMAN: Burton Boxerman and his wife Benita Boxerman have written several books about baseball and other subjects, including the two-volume "Jews and Baseball." They're working on a biography of Bill DeWitt Sr., who owned the Browns in the '40s.
Walking around St. Louis, you occasionally see someone in a Browns cap. The Baltimore Orioles want nothing to do with that part of their history so the Cardinals do keep the flame a little bit. Remember Bill DeWitt Jr., the batboy whose uniform Eddie Gaedel borrowed in 1951? He's the owner of the St. Louis Cardinals.

This is a song from the Royal Sussex County Hospital Comedy Revue, a fundraising event held in
Brighton last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl-zIz26Q9k.
As I watched it I felt guilty laughing! There are many more videos of
performances on that YouTube channel; it's rather camp in style, but that's not
unusual for Brighton. Sadly this event got
"slammed" by the critics. Well, you know what I think of "duh
cwitticks", see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2008/06/critics.html
(Thanks to my Extremely Proud and Dignified Brother Porter Jakub for bringing this to my attention)

Delta manufactures Cut To Length Lines (video) for all gauges from .008″ to 1.250″. Delta has lines in operation for over 50 years. Our Cut To Length Lines are the most proven in the industry. Flat
rolled carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and brass and tin plate are processed on our
Cut To Length Lines. Delta's Cut To Length Lines produce the most accurate lengths and
perfectly flat sheets or plates in the industry. We provide straight crosscut lines for sheet and
plate, temper mill CTL lines, stretcher leveler CTL lines, multi-blanking lines, trapezoidal
shearing lines and scrolling lines.
Delta Cut To Length Lines are available with stationary shears for start-stop or loop feed
operation and rotary shears for continuous feed operation. Precision four, five and six high
levelers provide superior flatness quality. Stacking systems incorporate air cushion, bomb-door
type, electromagnetic or vacuum to provide a four-sided square and straight bundle.
Delta Cut To Length Line systems are designed for the customers specific requirements. Cut-to-
Length lines are not just an uncoiler, leveler, shear and a stacker any more. Material handling on
the entry and exit of the line can be just as important as the speed of the line in some instances.
Time waiting for a crane is production time lost if the strip is still. The vast types of material to
be processed and there intended use can require additional components in the line. Surface
critical material applications will require suitable strip contact surfaces. Hot rolled strip may
require scale removal. Further down stream processing may require stress relief to the material.
A Delta Cut-to-length Line is a complete system. We have the entry and exit terminal equipment
to get the coils on the line and the sheets and plates packaged and away. We provide the
protection for the surface critical whether it is plastic or paper or a measured coating of oil or
lubricant. Scale removal by brush scrubber and dust and scale collectors for hot rolled scale.
Temper Mills and Stretcher Levelers to insure the sheet or plate says flat upon subsequent
Delta Heavy Gauge Plate Cut-to-Length Lines are available for feed-to-stop operation or
continuous operation with our rotary shear. The feed-to-stop Cut-to-Length Lines are designed to
feed the strip to the desired length and shear the strip while stopped. The plate length is measured digitally.
Delta Heavy Gauge Cut-to-Length lines have a maximum capacity range of 1.25"
thickness, 120" width and 200,000 psi yield strength. The metric equalivent is 32mm thickness,
3 meter width and 1,380 N/mm 2.
Delta revolutionized the industry with the incorporation of the Delta Rotary Shear and a Temper
Mill into Heavy Gauge Cut To Length Lines. The continuous line speed eliminates the necessity
of stopping the temper mill during the shearing operation. Record breaking performance has
been achieved in production, flatness quality and length accuracy. Delta is shaping the future of
steel processing on Heavy Gauge Cut To Length Lines.
Delta Cut-to-Length Lines for medium and light gauge metals are available in configurations
designed for your specific production requirements. Delta Cut To Length Lines produce precision
leveled blanks with precise accuracy. Delta Cut To Length Lines are available with loop/feed roll
fed and continuous/rotary shear feed operation. Both systems are designed for processing surface critical material and tight tolerance accuracy.
In Looping Pit Lines the material never stops in the entry section of the line. The shearing action
occurs as the material is momentarily stopped after it is fed to a predetermined length beyond the
shearing point by the feed rolls or a grip-feed system. The feeder system will must accelerate to
high velocity to maintain a constant average loop depth.
A Delta's Continuous High Speed Cut To Length Lines, equipped with our Rotary Shear, will
shear the material at line speed, allowing continuous and constant line speed. Delta's Cut-to-
Length lines with our Rotary Shear have revolutionized the industry by breaking production and
accuracy records. Our accuracy is so near perfect, many of our customers have installed digital
read out systems, similar to those found on machining centers for quality control checks. Our
service center and steel mill customers experience accuracies previously thought to be
unachievable is now at +/- 0.005" on sheet product.
Delta's Rotary Shear is applicable in many cut-to-length line applications from 0.008" to 1.250"
thickness material. Since Delta's Rotary Shear cuts on controlled torque, the shear and the
equipment around it see virtually zero vibration. The dual rotation knives minimize blade
opening and knife engagement. Our unique shear blade further reduces shear force and shear
stress on the material. Downtime is virtually non-existent with general preventive care and
conventional knife maintenance with our Rotary Shear.

I confess: I'm not a naturally green-fingered person. I like the idea of beautiful plants and gardens but it's a skill I'm working on.
Luckily, I married a keen gardener who has covered our house in greenery which I love.
However, I'm not just all about the aesthetic. Indoor plants are also proven to increase our mental wellbeing and physical health.
1. They improve your mood and reduce stress.
2. They reduce breathing problems by improving the air quality.
3. They reduce blood pressure, as well as headaches and fatigue.
4. Patients in hospital have a higher tolerance to pain.
5. They increase levels in productivity for people working in offices.
Nature never fails to amaze.

Bugatti Chiron: 0-236mph in 30 seconds
By now you have probably heard of the Bugatti Chiron. It's a mid-engined, two-seated sports car that's BEYOND fast. If there was another word for faster than fast, that's how you would describe this car.
The Bugatti Chiron was developed and manufactured in Molsheim, France and is the successor to the Bugatti Veyron. The car is named after Monegasque driver, Louis Chiron. It has a 8-liter W16 quad-turbocharged engine that produces 1,479 bhp and 1,180 lb-ft torque. It has a carbon fiber body structure, independent suspension and a Haldex AWD system. It also has a 7-speed automatic transmission.
According to the manufacturer, it will go fro 0-60 MPH in under 2.5 seconds, 0-120MPH in under 6.5 seconds and 0-190 MPH in under 13.6 seconds. For safety reasons, the Bugatti Chiron top speed is electronically limited to 261 MPH. However, the anticipated top speed of the Bugatti Chiron is believed to be around 288 MPH.
It began production in 2016 and has a limit of only 500 being produced. The Bugatti Chiron was very successful when it released, with 200 units sold before the first delivery of the car. The base price for the Chiron is $2,700,000 but that's the price you pay for a car that can do 0-236 MPH in 30 seconds!

Medical Device Security Analyzer
Join the Healthcare Revolution: Track, Identify, Respond and Mitigate Medical Device Risk
There are steps you need to take to protect your medical devices from a cyberattack: identify your risks, develop your plan and automate your processes. These steps are made easier with the Accruent Medical Device Security Analyzer.
- Analyze and report against all medical devices, network data and software
- Reconcile MDS2 data and other security attributes against inventory
- Automate workflows unique to your organization when potential security risks or gaps are found
- Integration with hospital's network monitoring tools
Track, Identify, Respond and Mitigate Device Risk Across Your Entire Inventory
The landscape of intelligent devices and equipment in health care organizations is changing rapidly because devices are increasingly intelligent and interconnected.
MDISS (Medical Device Innovation, Safety & Security Consortium) considers cybersecurity risks a major public health concern, especially since it is estimated that patients in the U.S. healthcare system will be exposed to over 500 billion interactions with connected medical devices in the next 10 years. The cost of cybersecurity is also a concern. Annual global spend on cybersecurity is approaching $100 billion and global losses to businesses are nearing $1 trillion.
More than 67% of medical device manufacturers and 56% of healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs) believe an attack on their devices is likely to happen within the next 12 months.
Many health systems are having a difficult time implementing a cyber security program to identify where cyber security risks and gaps exist. The need for healthcare executives to reassess their cybersecurity policies and strategies has never been more critical.
Watch the video to learn how Accruent MDSA tracks, identifies and mitigates medical device risk at accruent.com
Accruent MDSA Cybersecurity Risk Management and Mitigation
Medical Device Security Analyzer (MDSA) applies a two-pronged approach to the management and mitigation of cybersecurity risk.
Accruent's MDSA/IoT solution capabilities are designed to enable organizations to gather as much information as possible that contributes to the device or system's cybersecurity risk:
- Identify significant risks or gaps, and track the remediation or mitigation
- Create or update standard operating procedures (SOPs) for technicians onboarding, maintaining and retiring equipment
- Automate the calculation of cybersecurity risk per device taking into account attributes such as the type of information handled by the device, connectivity types, unique roles-based user accounts, capability to be updated, etc.
After you have prepared, Accruent's MDSA ensures the best protection by partnering with providers of discovery and monitoring tools so you can promptly respond to cybersecurity anomalies in a prioritized, measurable, and consistent manner. Together these tools:
- Monitor the network traffic and the information going to and from devices
- Send alerts to the appropriate staff if there is activity that falls outside the normal traffic pattern
- Give the ability to manage and understand utilization data in order to right-size equipment fleet

Mike Pado has been a metal guy for decades, first as a fabricator, then as an engineer. But that didn't stop him from tackling this 1,200-sq.-ft. wood frame building. It's framed from rough-cut 6×6 that are joined with metal sockets (Socket Systems is one manufacturer; socketsys.com). From planning to finishing, Mike spent three years on his shop. He had lots of help from friends, but hired pros only for the slab and roof. Now that it's done, he's back to metal and mechanical work.

Center Chris Bosh became the second Miami Heat player penalized in the NBA's postseason crackdown on flopping, fined $5,000 Friday for what the league perceived as a violation with 6:07 remaining in the second quarter of Thursday's 109-93 Game 4 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals.
On the play in question, Bosh sprawled to the court after minimal contact from Spurs forward Tim Duncan while Bosh attempted to defend a drive by San Antonio guard Gary Neal. Duncan was called for a foul on the play.
In the previous round, Heat forward LeBron James also was fined $5,000 for an anti-flopping violation, for embellishing contact from Indiana Pacers forward David West while contesting a rebound, with West also fined for an anti-flopping violation on that play.
Prior to the sanction against James, the Heat had not been cited for flopping during the regular season or the first two rounds of the playoffs. The two remain the lone Heat players cited for flopping by the league this season.
Unlike the warning system during the regular season, there is a $5,000 fine for a player's first flopping violation in the playoffs, with a $5,000 increase in fines for each of the next two violations, meaning a $10,000 sanction for James or Bosh if they're again viewed to flop during the balance of this series.
According to the NBA, flopping is defined, "as any physical act that appears to have been intended to cause the referees to call a foul on another player. The primary factor in determining whether a player committed a flop is whether his physical reaction to contact with another player is inconsistent with what would reasonably be expected given the force or direction of the contact. Physical acts that constitute legitimate basketball plays (such as moving to a spot in order to draw an offensive foul) and minor physical reactions to contact will not be treated as flops."

A retired Marine Lt. General told me last week that the members of the military are the first ones to want peace because they have seen war and paid the price. His words reverberated in my mind when I read an email from The Carter Center today.
I share the item with you and encourage you to add your thoughts."Peace is more than the absence of war. There is an inner peace that comes from personal security and personal freedom. Peace also includes the sense of a mother and father that their children will live, that they'll have food for them to eat, and that they won't be subject to a lifetime of suffering that could have been prevented." — Jimmy Carter
The Carter Center's Peace Programs strengthen freedom and democracy in nations worldwide, securing for people the political and civil rights that are the foundation of just and peaceful societies.
Although "Peace" means something different to each person, each community, each nation, there is a common dream that binds our hopes. What does "Peace" mean to you? Click HERE to share your definition.
One final point for full disclosure. If you've not read the "about" page, you will not know that I am a Rosalynn Carter Mental Health Journalism Fellow for 2010-2011. There are no "strings attached" with the fellowship, in fact that is part of its beauty. This blog is part of the project I proposed to win the fellowship, yet there are no requirements to link to the Carter Center or carry its message. I do it because of the message is to work on building a world of peace – exactly what my retired Marine Lt. General is hoping to do.

Just when you thought you'd heard the last of the Beast from the East, the meteorological phenomenon has drifted back into discussion this month after a sharp decline in retail expenditure was reported during March. The biggest takeaways from the recent retail statistics from March are discussed below.
1. Inflationary pressures squeeze disposable income
As detailed in a report from the British Retail Consortium and KPMG, a clear divide between food sales and sales of other items was apparent in March. Whilst over the three months until March, the amount spent on "other items" fell by 3 per cent, spending on food rose by 5.3 per cent. A CBI survey showed that department stores, shops selling recreational goods and furniture retailers were amongst the worst hit.
Inflationary pressures and a squeeze on real income, triggered by weak wage growth, have impacted heavily upon levels of disposal income and spending habits, with UK consumers spending more on household essentials in March. On the other hand, less was spent on other items last month despite high levels of promotional activity, and the usual fertile retail ground associated with the period before Easter.
These inflationary pressures come following a sustained period of high inflation in the UK, which spiked sharply in 2017 due to the impact of a slump in the sterling following the Brexit vote.
2. The Beast from the East leaves its mark on UK retail figures
These retail statistics also highlight the impact of the Beast from the East on UK shopping, with this year's most infamous Siberian weather front (in a fairly packed field, may I add) deterring shoppers from spending on non-food items. One key factor, here, is the significant decline in petrol sales in March, which has had knock-on effects with retail spending, keeping shoppers indoors. The impact of this has been further exacerbated by disruptions to public transport over this period.
The effect of this has been felt throughout the UK retail market, with John Lewis, for example, reporting a 16 per cent decline in mid-March sales when compared with the same week in 2017 due to a combination of poor weather conditions, and promotional activity commencing earlier this year due to the earlier Easter break.
3. The online retail market continues to shoulder the burden
Online retail has similarly felt the chill, with online sales figures at their lowest in almost a decade, according to a survey of 109 firms by CBI. This is despite record internet traffic during March due to large numbers working from home, with CBI pointing to a reluctance by consumers to place orders for fear that deliveries would be delayed.
Nonetheless, online sales accounted for 17.4 per cent of all sales in March 2018, compared with 15.9 per cent in the same month last year, suggesting that those with a strong online presence are likely to have fared better than their exclusively brick and mortar peers in March. As Paul Martin, head of retail at KPMG, stated: "unless you're a grocer, bridging the gap between online and offline sales offers the best means of success in this climate". This highlights the value of maintaining an online presence, as well as the importance of online shopping to the wider retail market by helping to take on some of the strain when factors, such as poor weather, contribute towards lower footfall in shopping centres.

LSI Credit SolutionsAdd to Favourites
Kirkland, WA 98033
Office: (425) 443 6182 | (425) 376 2840
Toll Free: (866) 390-7253
E-fax: (206) 374 2876
LSI Credit Solutions is a company with one goal-to provide credit restoration and improve your credit. We have helped a lot of Americans repair their credit by negotiating and settling verified collections, and removing inaccurate, misleading or unverifiable information (in other words, "questionable" negative credit).
We're good at what we do because we believe in our work-every day we get to make a difference by impacting the lives of our clients, and getting results that they could not imagine were so real.
Results that can literally turn a person's life around.
Our credit restoration service is based on heping people understand how the industry really works and without any exaggeration setting realistic goals and plans for each individual case.
1. Onetime consultation fee after we determine that we can help you. Guaranteed Lifetime Membership on all current negative items. Disputes of inaccurate information, debt verification and settlement negotiation-all included. Short term 6-12-24 months packages also available. Pricing is based on the case with payment options always available.
2. Over 350 companies trust us with their clients. Branch Managers, Bankers, Real Estate Agents, Car Dealers and Loan Officers may be contacted via telephone or email for references.
3. No loud promises. We always promise less, and do more. If you can follow a simple plan and have the funds to settle on verified collections (if you have any) you can expect amazing results in 30-90 working days.
LSI Credit Solutions is not just another credit repair company; it is our promise to help those who feel restricted in their life choices because of a bad credit score. We have set the industry standard as a reputable organization that is built on the foundation of integrity, character, and commitment to obtaining the best possible results for each client. Being a small local company, LSI prides itself in its excellent track record and high customer satisfaction rate. Over 4000 people have walked out of our doors with a newly acquired confidence in their future. We have received great positive reviews, and have zero complaints with the Better Business Bureau.
Unlike other companies, we do not charge reccurring fees and never take any payments without knowing that we can actually help. To determine if we can help we provide a free consultation and carefully review our clients credit reports before setting a fee for our lifetime or 12-24 months membership. Every case is different, and while one may involve 3 collections, another will have 30 or more. That is why we do not offer the same flat fee for everyone.
For these that chose our lifetime service package we charge a one-time fee that covers you for the entire lifetime, even in those cases when you need to come back and use our services again. We conduct all dispute investigations, correspondence, and negotiations on unpaid collections (judgments etc.). When we help you negotiate and settle we never ask you to send us any money. We get the deal done, review and forward you the official agreement letter from the creditor, after that you call and pay them directly.
We never tell you what you want to hear; instead we always put things the way they are. That is why most of our business comes from the people we have helped.

Project Showcase: Hepburn Wind releases Community Green offset product
Australia's flagship community energy project is 5 years old and they continue to innovate (and to pump out clean energy from wind). "Community Green" is Hepburn Wind's carbon offset program based on businesses, organisations and individuals purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) generated by the two wind turbines. The best bit? – they extinguish the certificates, […]
About C4CE
Community energy is a hugely exciting opportunity with growing support. However, there are still significant barriers to realise the full potential of community energy in Australia. That is why the organisations at the forefront of the emerging community energy sector in Australia have founded the Coalition for Community Energy (C4CE).
The Coalition for Community Energy was founded using a Collaborative Impact approach and credit needs to go to Nicky Ison and the team at Community Power Agency who have worked tirelessly to bring the organisation to life. C4CE facilitates collaboration. It's Strategic Initiatives and Congress build on the strengths of its member organisations ~ community energy projects, groups, support organisations and stakeholders in the wider renewable and mainstream energy system ~ to create mutually beneficial outcomes. C4CE fosters win-win situations and in so doing is creating a quicker, more efficient path to a community energy sector with hundreds of community energy projects that benefit all Australian communities.
C4CE initiatives are created and led by one of more members. The overall coordination of C4CE is led by the Steering Group with the support of a Secretariat.
C4CE believes collaboration creates greater impact than the simple sum of individual member efforts. Together, we can make the difference.
C4CE's objectives are to:
- Guide and support development of the community energy sector
- Create a coordinated voice to better advocate for the needs of the sector
- Grow the sector's profile, influence and membership (beyond the 'usual suspects')
- Facilitate the alignment of efforts by Members with support, systems, tools and training which enable collaboration for collective impact
- Identify and create strategic opportunities and attract investment for the sector
- Coordinate strategic initiatives which build the knowledge, know-how and capacity of Members and the sector
While it was unincorporated, C4CE was auspiced by Starfish Initiatives and then ATA – their support has been hugely appreciated and has helped the organisation become established.
As C4CE becomes Embark Australia Ltd, the new organisation will trade as Coalition for Community Energy and benefit from DGR status, which means your donations are now tax-deductible.

Coming back from a fabulous weekend group 13 returned to embrace plenty of new faces. We landed right into a fierce, affectionate and energetic game of lacrosse where each camper learned different skills, but showed off their own. The jazzy jetsetters then continued with their high spirit and energy on the way to baseball. Group 13 shows the true definition of sportsmanship to one another, and cheered on both teams. Soon enough the new campers settled in and began to see that they were joining a group full of amazing returning campers in unit 2 and the yomi family. This Wednesday was, as always, a wacky one. And even though not all campers were dressed up, we all participated in the goofy activities. The counselors were also filled with a huge amount of spirit, support, and energy, which contributed to success in all games, but also at just making each camper have an amazing time. Later, during the day, group 13 had a blast as we all splashed in the pool and played with beach balls, playing games like marco polo, shark in the pool, and the dolphin races. The jazzy jetsetters then used their creativity in painting and drawing where they drew their own giraffe and then painted it.

NOB HILL--This was the view from one of the sidewalk tables in front of Il Vicino of the moon rising over the Sandia Mountains. It sort of reminds me of the last lines of a poem I wrote some time ago.
for Simone and Ivan
"Real toads
in imaginary gardens:"
not much of an inheritance
compared to 40 acres of timber
and high meadow.
A verse
ranch won't wear
out your boots the way
stirrups will, or put wild strawberry
jam in jars. There's
to haul dreams to,
or to build that cabin, a real one
now, with a porch--and lilacs waving
hello, good-by.
it's not that kind
of territory: I can't
fence it in for you like
summer pasture.
The sun,
pink in the west,
waits on the tip of a post
near Otero's barn--gone before
I mention it.
--Jon Knudsen

DTE eyes Sears at shuttered Summit Place Mall as service center
Waterford Township — The boarded-up Summit Place Mall, on the border of Pontiac and Waterford Township, has been an ugly and costly headache for nearly a decade. That could change, following a DTE proposal discussed Thursday by the Waterford Township Planning Commission.
Details still are under discussion but DTE Energy is considering whether it could convert a portion of the former Sears department store, which sits on 24 acres and is attached to the mall, into a 50,000-square-foot regional storage facility.
John Erb, manager of corporate real estate for DTE, told the commission 200 DTE employees — engineers, planners and work crews in county would be shifted there — and use the building to respond to service repair work throughout the county.
"It will be a 24/7 operation," Erb said. "… peak hours will be between 7:30 to 8:30 in the morning, when crews are getting their assignments, and 3 to 4:30 (p.m.) when they return at the end of the day."
Some officials, like Planning Commissioner Anthony Bartolotta, believe the plan could finally "kickstart" investment and the reuse of the crumbling 100-plus-acre site, which closed in 2009 and has become a magnet to scrappers, vandals and others.
"We all know its days as a shopping center or for retailing are long over," said
Bartolotta, also a township trustee, who attended the meeting. "But if this is eventually approved, it could signal to other potential developers that it would be a good place for them to invest or expand existing business.
"I believe that would be a good thing for the township and for Oakland County," he said.
Bartolotta and others on the commission had reservations about how outdoor storage of wire rolls, telephone poles, even service trucks will be handled.
"I know of another storage lot nearby that is junked up," said Bartolotta. "I don't want to see that in the township and I think it would hurt the potential for other investment. But the renderings they have shown us of their enclosed center, and outside storage and parking for trucks, is very impressive."
Erb said he would have to huddle with others to determine how much of the outdoor storage could be covered. Township attorney Gary Dovre suggested to the commission to indefinitely postpone a decision on the initial plans until DTE submitted new plans that take into consideration some concerns.
The Sears property DTE is looking at is independently owned by Southfield-based Arie-El Enterprises.
"We are looking forward to working with them to make this happen," said Larry Lockwood, the township's superintendent of the Planning and Zoning Division. "It seems like a realistic re-use of the property."
Summit Place, which opened in 1963 and was the state's first enclosed mall, once boasted 200 tenants, including six anchor stores, a movie theater, restaurants and specialty stores. But declining fortunes of tenants, including bankruptcies, and changing public tastes saw the mall erode into a dangerous eyesore cited for electrical and other safety hazards.
Several proposals — a minor-league ball park, a children's entertainment center and water park — never got off the ground due to insufficient funding. Meanwhile, the township has seen a potential source of tax dollars sit idle. While thousands once flocked to the mall, located at Telegraph and Elizabeth Lake roads, in the past decade for their shopping needs, in recent years the only ones headed there were scrappers and vandals breaking inside or police and township building officials writing citations for multiple building and safety violations.
Under the DTE plan, the utility company would be responsible for paying the expense to level Sears.
Under the township's dangerous building ordinances, it has sued SD Capital, a California company that owns the majority of Summit Place, to demolish the buildings. The matter remains in litigation.

[Windows 10, Foobar 1.0.67 (1.3.53) - do all tagging in Foobar]
Was noticing some files not appearing in Genre view.
For instance some 'lectures' were there, some were not.
I do most of my file locating via Genre. However, if I remembered a file had been added, it would appear via search function using, e.g., Artist.
Comparing the appearing and not-appearing files, I noted the files which did not appear were tagged but had no information in the Album field.
By copying Title info into Album: now all files appear in Genre view.
So, not sure if that is intended behavior.
It seems normal (to me) to have some files titled but without an 'Album' (e.g., lectures, single tracks).
Edit: I just discovered one file with no Album that appears in Genre. So the above is not correct. However, this file has two (; divided) genres, and it only appears under the second genre. Something confusing is happening but now I am less sure what it is.

CIA Torture Architects Ordered to Testify Over Cover-up Involving Trump Appointee
Guantánamo's military court will reportedly call CIA witnesses to explain the Agency's destruction of torture evidence - an act carried out in part by the new Deputy Director of the CIA, Gina Haspel.
In a one-page ruling cited by the Miami Herald, judge Air Force Col. Vance Spath authorized defense lawyers to call four witnesses to explain the CIA's shredding of 91 videotapes depicting the experimental torture of prisoners in the Agency's black sites.
Ms Haspel, who has not been called, was instrumental in both the torture and the shredding of the tapes - the latter of which triggered the Senate's inquiry into the CIA's rendition and torture program. No official has faced prosecution over either the torture itself or the destruction of the tapes. Ms Haspel was recently promoted by President Trump to the number two position at the CIA.
The court wants to hear about the tapes as part of the defense case against Abd al Rahim al Nashiri, who is facing charges based on torture evidence and is likely featured in the tapes. It will call former CIA General Counsel John Rizzo and Jose Rodriguez Jr., the clandestine service chief who in 2005 ordered the destruction of tapes against Rizzo's advice — as well as James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen, psychologists who designed and implemented the interrogation techniques recorded in the videos. None of those men has ever testified in a court.
The CIA's torture 'guinea pig' Abu Zubaydah was held with Al Nashiri in the CIA black site in Thailand overseen by Ms Haspel, and likely featured heavily in the tapes. Unlike al Nashiri, Abu Zubaydah has never been charged with an offense; he was waterboarded 83 times in one month before the CIA concluded that he was not a member of al Qaeda. He remains in Guantánamo after Ms Haspel reportedly sought assurances during his torture that he would "remain in isolation and incommunicado for the remainder of his life."
Reprieve attorney Shelby Sullivan Bennis said: "The CIA's abuse of prisoners and destruction of evidence is no longer merely historical. We now have a key player in these crimes, Gina Haspel, in a top post at the Trump's CIA. We cannot learn from history unless we know what it is. And we cannot know what Ms Haspel is capable of doing with our CIA unless we know the truth about her. This testimony will be a welcome first step towards a long-overdue public reckoning with the past and the future of the CIA."

"The Masterson clan is back and funnier than ever in this delightful tale. Dineen's comedic timing is pure gold!" -Jennifer Peel, Bestselling Author of My Not So Wicked Stepbrother
Catriona Masterton's family is not normal.
Her father has a passion for taxidermized animals that he dresses in the family plaid. Her mother has a penchant for hoarding kitchen gadgets and other oddities that leave her sanity in question. Her grandmother, Nan, has never met a swearword she doesn't like.
Despite all this, party-planner Cat leaves the hustle and bustle of New York City to move back to her tiny hometown outside of Chicago. She even buys her parents' farm with plans to turn the barn into a stylish wedding venue.
Enter House to Home Television's Renovation Brothers. Cat gets accepted as one of the show's projects, bringing two gorgeous brothers to her doorstep. Unbeknownst to Cat, the TV hosts are behind a secret her newfound boyfriend will go to great lengths to keep hidden.
With all the upheaval—her parents' chaotic move, her grandmother joyfully causing trouble wherever she goes, a film crew documenting her home being torn apart, and her boyfriend's odd behavior—Cat's starting to wonder if signing up for a reality TV show was a big mistake.
Will the renovation be a success? Or will secrecy and jealousy make Cat regret the day she packed her bags and left New York?
Find out in this hysterical tale packed with small-town charm, family drama, and true love.
This is the second book I've read that was written by Whitney Dineen in the Relativity Series and she knocked my socks off once again with the well written story, amazing and relatable characters and events within the book and I literally laughed out loud through the entire book!
People do crazy things to protect their loved ones, but Nan is by far the craziest and the most loving grandmother anyone could ever ask for.
This book brought to light love in every aspect it comes in and a horrible mother in Mrs. Schweer, shame on you!
I loved both books in the series and will watch for more books by Whitney Dineen for a laugh out loud good read!

The flag of Honduras consists of three equal bands of colors. The top and bottom bands colors are blue, while the center band is white. Five cerulean stars, each with five-pointed sides, are placed at the center with two on top of each other on either side of the flag, with one at the center. Connecting the stars using straight lines forms a rectangle with two diagonal lines intersecting at the center star. The flag has a dimension ratio of 2:1.
The blue colors of the Flag of Honduras represent the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, the two water bodies which surround Honduras. The blue colors also represent the brotherhood of the Honduran people and the sky above. The inner white band represents two things: the peace and prosperity of the people and the land between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. It also represents the purity of thoughts that the locals bear. The five Cerulean stars at the center represent the five nations of the former Republic of Central America (Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and El Salvador). The X arrangement of stars represents the future aspirations and hope that the five nations will one day reunite and form a union again.
In 1823, Honduras and other countries proclaimed their independence following a two-year rule by the Mexican Empire and formed the United Provinces of Central America. Honduras later separated from the union in 1938 and formed its government. It was during this time that they decided to continue using the federation's flag, which was designed in 1823. Honduras suffered numerous invasions between 1840 and 1862. After the invasions ended, the Honduran government decided to retain the Central American Flag. However, they wanted to make it more distinctive than other former flags. It was during this time that government added the five distinctive cerulean stars. The flag was to be altered by replacing the five stars with the official coat of arms whenever the naval forces hoisted the flag.
Honduras never had an official flag the current flag was adopted. When Honduras was still under the rule of the Mexican Empire, the flag of Mexico was used in most administrative purposes. It is not documented whether Honduras had any other flags other than the Mexican flag during this time.
