Erin Driscoll's dream is to have her own catering business. Thanks to Medaille and generous scholarship support, this junior business administration major will have the education and experience needed to make that dream a reality.
Driscoll, 23, is a Cheektowaga resident originally from Youngstown, Ohio. She attended culinary school in Pittsburgh, Pa., where she met her boyfriend, and decided to come back with him to his hometown of Buffalo. However, in 2009 fate stepped in. Her father was involved in a major car accident, leaving him in a coma to this day. Driscoll moved back home so she could help her mother care for him.
Eventually Driscoll felt it was time to complete her education and started looking at schools that would give her the small class size and personal attention she wanted. Medaille fit the bill.
"I applied to a lot of smaller schools, but Medaille really appealed to me. I like the fact all the professors know my name and a little bit about my background. They're also all very friendly, which makes it easy to learn." Driscoll said the relationships she has forged with her fellow students and her involvement in campus activities have given her valuable exposure to how business and hospitality mix.
In fact, Driscoll is a member of Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), a campus organization that promotes entrepreneurship through projects with businesses and nonprofits. Through SIFE, Driscoll is the COO of the Commons Café, a student-run eatery in the Main Building, where her duties include ordering supplies and scheduling employees.
Upon graduation, Driscoll hopes to find immediate work in the hotel or restaurant management industry, which will give her the experience to reach her ultimate goal: owning a catering company in New York City or Washington, D.C. A William Randolph Hearst Scholarship recipient, Driscoll said the financial assistance has made all the difference in the world. "If it wasn't for Medaille, I don't know if I would have been able to return to school," she said.
This content originally appeared in the summer 2011 issue of the Medaille Magazine.
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more
effective leader. My capstone class gave insight on how to combine all
the education learned to operate a business. That's when I realized how
much I had sharpened my knowledge.

Today, Microsoft revealed Windows Phone 8, which has long been rumored under its "Apollo" code name. As expected -- and long hoped by both developers and IT -- Windows Phone 8 will share the same core OS as Windows 8, as well as graphics drivers and Direct3D. Developers will also be able to write apps using native C and C++ code, instead of being restricted to the HTML, Silverlight, and Xbox frameworks, though Microsoft continues to recommend use of XAML and its support of C# and Visual Basic via its Visual Studio 2012 IDE.
And -- finally! -- Windows Phone will support key enterprise security needs, including on-device encryption, corporate app distribution, IPv6, MDM (mobile device management) tools, and secure boot. Microsoft also promises a real version of Office for Windows Phone, based on the Windows RT Office version being developed for ARM-based Windows tablets.
[ InfoWorld picks the 12 essential mobile app development tools. | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights with the Mobilize newsletter. ]
Joe Belfiore, a Microsoft vice president, said the use of a common core should make the user experience across Windows 8 smartphones, tablets, and desktops (in the Metro interface for the latter two; Windows Phone 8 is all-Metro) more of a crossover, not a jarring switch. He also says it should ease developers' ability to create apps for all Metro-based devices. Microsoft's approach to unifying Windows 8's core across devices matches what Apple had done with the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, all of which are based on the same core as OS X, and over the years Apple has converged more of the application functionality and user interfaces across iOS and OS X.
Windows Phone 8 devices will run existing Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" apps, and Microsoft will recompile them for Windows Phone 8 itself, so developers don't have to.
The revised Windows Phone 8 platform will allow for more variety in hardware implementations, easing some of the constraints that Microsoft put on device makers in previous versions. For example, there will be three supported aspect ratios of displays: 4:3, 15:9, and 16:9. Removable MicroSD cards will be supported; the previous version used a proprietary format for such cards that dissuaded device makers from adding removable storage.

A new biography of acclaimed American author Kurt Vonnegut, beloved by fans worldwide for his work's warm humour and homespun Midwestern wisdom, has shocked many with a portrayal of a bitter, angry man prone to depression and fits of temper.
The book on Vonnegut, who died in 2007, lifts the lid on the writer's private life, revealing a man far removed from the grandfather-like public figure his millions of devotees adored.
And So It Goes was written by Charles Shields, who also wrote a controversial biography of Harper Lee, author of To Kill A Mockingbird. The book paints a picture of a man who was often distant from his children, cruel to a long-suffering first wife, caught in an unpleasant second marriage and spent much of his later years depressed and angry. "Cruel, nasty and scary are the adjectives commonly used to describe him by the friends, colleagues, and relatives Shields quotes," wrote one reviewer, Wendy Smith, on the Daily Beast website. The New York Times reviewer, Chris Buckley, called Shields's portrayal "sad, often heartbreaking".
Through novels such as The Sirens of Titan, Cat's Cradle and the classic Slaughterhouse-Five, Vonnegut's career spanned five decades, often working in the science fiction genre, and catapulted him into the canon of great American writers. His work, while often dealing with tragedy, was famed for espousing humanitarian, even socialist values, and often had a strong anti-war, anti-capitalist feel. It is full of references to the virtues of small-town life, volunteer firefighters and the Midwest, especially his home city of Indianapolis.
Yet Shields's book is unsparing in its portrayal of Vonnegut's dark side. It reveals that the writer – whose experience as a PoW during the firebombing of Dresden scarred his psyche for life – had no qualms about investing in firms that made napalm or indulged in a host of other morally suspect activities. He fell out with friends, editors and relatives and had a shocking temper. In later life he appeared deeply bitter and lonely. In the opening part of the book Shields describes meeting Vonnegut just a few months before his death. He describes Vonnegut asking him to look up his name in a dictionary (it was not there) and then look up Jack Kerouac (it was there). "How about that?" Vonnegut then states with a frown. The chapter of Shields's book dealing with Vonnegut's final 15 years of life is called simply "Waiting to Die".
"Towards the end he was very feeble, very depressed and almost morose. I think that slants this book," said Jerome Klinkowitz, an academic at the University of Northern Iowa and one of the world's leading experts on Vonnegut.
"It is a little naive to be surprised by this," said Gregory Sumner of the University of Detroit Mercy, who recently wrote a book exploring Vonnegut's work, called Unstuck In Time. "Personal relationships were difficult for him. He had a lot of survivor's guilt."
Vonnegut definitely had survived a lot. His once wealthy family was impoverished by the Great Depression, causing grim strains in his parents' marriage. His mother committed suicide. His beloved sister died of breast cancer, a day after her husband was killed in a train accident. But the defining horror of Vonnegut's life was his wartime experience and surviving the Dresden bombing, only to be sent into the ruins as prison labour in order to collect and burn the corpses. The ordeal cropped up continually in his work, but most notably formed the basis of Slaughterhouse-Five, the book that made Vonnegut famous.
But there was more to it than just coping with such traumatic situations. In later life, despite being hailed by so many as an American genius, Vonnegut felt that the literary establishment never took him seriously. They interpreted his simplistic style, love of science fiction and Midwestern values as being beneath serious study.
The book will do little to dampen enthusiasm for Vonnegut's work. "He's not a relic of the 1960s. His work is vibrant today even posthumously," said Sumner. "Maybe we just expect too much of our heroes."Comments (0)

"It's Great To Be In New York"
December 28, 2013 – With the exception of the last few minutes of the game, the second half of the 2013 New Era Pinstripe Bowl was almost as evenly matched as the first half (see blog entry below on the first two quarters of the game).
In the early part of the third quarter, it appeared as if Notre Dame was going to take control of the game, but the Scarlet Knight's defense held quarterback Tommy Reese and the Fighting Irish to two field goals. Trailing 19-13 mid-way through the fourth quarter, Rutgers kicker Kyle Federico brought the game within three points.
After the Rutgers field goal, Notre Dame did what their loyal following had been waiting for since the game began. Reese guided the Fighting Irish on a 79-yard drive, which took 5 minutes and 12 seconds off the clock and resulted in a three-yard touchdown run by running back Tarean Folston. The touchdown gave Notre Dame a 26-16 lead, and Rutgers had just over three minutes to make up the deficit.
Notre Dame kicker Kyle Brindza capped the scoring with a 49-yard field goal, and in the end, Notre Dame enhanced their legacy in of winning big games in New York City.
My favorite moment of the day came when Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly accepted the George M. Steinbrenner Trophy moments after the game ended.
"It's great to be in New York," Kelly said from the 50-yard line.

Notre Dame and Rutgers Meet In 2013 New Era Pinstripe Bowl
December 28, 2013 — The tradition continues.
The 4th annual New Era Pinstripe Bowl is underway on a perfect day for football in the Northeast, and the game features two teams with strong ties to New York City.
Under a clear blue sky at Yankee Stadium, the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers University are taking on the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Notre Dame, which is one year removed from the National Championship, has strong ties to both the old Yankee Stadium and the Yankees current home.
Beginning in 1923, Yankee Stadium was one of the nation's foremost venues for college football games. Some of the most historic games were played at the House That Ruth Built, and Notre Dame was the centerpiece of that tradition for five decades. My feature story on the complete history of college football at the old ballpark in the Bronx can be found on pages of the 2013 New Era Pinstripe Bowl Official Game Program, which is on sale at today's game and can be purchased by calling (800) GO-YANKS.
Notre Dame also played in the first football game at the current Yankee Stadium, as well. In 2010, the Fighting Irish renewed their rivalry with Army, capturing a win in the 50th matchup between the two storied institutions.
In addition to the geographic proximity between Rutgers University and the South Bronx, the Scarlet Knights have also made some history at the current Stadium. Former Rutgers head football coach Greg Schiano, who is currently the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach, hoisted the 2011 George M. Steinbrenner Trophy after his team defeated Iowa State University in the second Pinstripe Bowl game. The Scarlet Knights defeated Army in a regular season game at Yankee Stadium a few weeks before the 2011 Pinstripe Bowl.
The official program also features game stories from each of the two teams' games this season. Notre Dame, which compiled an 8-4 record, came into today's game heavily favored over Rutgers, which racked up a 6-6 record. But in front of a sea of fans decked out in scarlet red, Rutgers has certainly played a spirited first half in the chilly air. The Fighting Irish and the Scarlet Knights players went to their respective locker rooms with the game tied at 13.
If the first half of the 2013 New Era Pinstripe Bowl is any indication of what the rest of the day will bring, this game might just go down as yet another thriller on the Yankees home turf.

5 Minutes with Hall of Famer Jim Kelly
November 21, 2013 – Along with interviewing Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone during my recent trip to Orchard Park, New York, I also sat down with legendary quarterback Jim Kelly for an upcoming "5 Minutes with…" feature in Yankees Magazine.
Thanks to Nancy Newman, who is the host of the YES Network's Yankees Magazine TV show and who covered the Bills during Kelly's career, I was fortunate enough to spend about a half hour with the Hall of Fame quarterback on the field at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Upon arriving in Orchard Park, I was asked where in the stadium I wanted the interview to take place, and to me, the ideal location was mid-field on the 50-yard-line.
When we arrived on the field, Yankees chief photographer Ariele Goldman Hecht took several portraits of Kelly in that same location. The beautifully lit photos feature Kelly, who was wearing a Buffalo Bills warm-up jacket, holding a football. In the photos, the wide expanse of the stadium serves as the backdrop.
Then, as Bills media relations personnel were setting up two chairs for my interview, I asked Kelly to throw me a pass. As the case was with Dan Marino at Yankee Stadium (see blog entry below), I knew that catching a pass from Kelly would make for a memorable experience (and a great blog entry). But I had no idea how memorable this pass would be.
The light-hearted Kelly quickly instructed me to run a 15-yard post pattern from the 45-yard line, and with great excitement, I lined up near the right hash mark and began to run the route. When I turned toward the quarterback from about 15 yards away, the ball was already at its target – which, of course, was me.
Thankfully, the bullet throw was a little high — as opposed to coming right for my head. But with just about no time to react, I jumped into the air and — somehow — caught the ball (see photo below). It was the fastest pass that I've ever caught or dropped, and the lucky catch surprised Kelly as much as it shocked me.
"You may run passing routes like a Miami Dolphin," said Kelly, who I had a running joke with over the fact that I worked for the Dolphins before my time with the Yankees. "But I can't believe you caught that pass."
With far too much adrenaline rushing through my body, I began the interview with Kelly (see photo below). In our candid conversation, the native of Western Pennsylvania spoke about the role that football played in his childhood.
"It was a huge part of my life," Kelly said. "Growing up in a family of six boys, we played football in the house, even when mom told us not to. We wore helmets in the house because our mom knew that if we were going to play inside, one of us was going to smack our head on a piece of furniture. We played tackle football in a foot of snow or in the middle of a rainstorm. Football made us who we are. When you're part of a family with six boys in Western Pennsylvania, what else are you going to play? None of us played golf or tennis. We all loved football."
Later in the interview, I asked Kelly how his career would have turned out had he not teamed with star wide receiver Andre Reed — who will be featured in a "5 Minutes with…" Q&A piece in the same 2014 issue of Yankees Magazine that Kelly will be in. The quarterback's answer showed his humility and grace.
"I would not be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame if he wasn't here because when we needed a big play, he was our man," said Kelly. "He was one of the best receivers in the history of the game at running after the catch. He would have been successful no matter where he was. Someone would have found a way to get him the football. I was blessed to have No. 82 on my team."
Kelly's sense of humor came out when I asked him whether he and [former Dolphins quarterback] Dan Marino ever reminisce about the epic games they played in against each other.
"We don't talk much about those games because Danny doesn't want to bring it up," Kelly said. "Of course, I'm happy to talk about those games, but we usually have too much stuff going on in our lives to catch up on. We usually have a few beers and talk about things you probably can't put on a recorder. He's one of my good buddies, and we still spend a lot of time together."
Finally, I asked Kelly, who led the Bills to four consecutive AFC championships in the early '90s, to take me back in time to the very place we were sitting. I wanted Kelly to describe the atmosphere at then Rich Stadium during the Bills heyday, and he did just that.
"We were bundled in parkas, and I don't even think they had heated benches back then," Kelly said. "But the Bills fans had more passion than any other group of people in the world. There were guys who would come out here with their chests painted. It would be 10 degrees and they never put their shirts on. The fans were there for us all the time. It was a great place to be when we were winning."

Interview with Buffalo Bills Head Coach Doug Marrone
November 21, 2013 – On a beautiful autumn afternoon in October, I traveled to Orchard Park, New York to interview Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone for a feature, which will appear in the 2013 New Era Pinstripe Bowl Official Game Program.
Prior to taking the Bills job in January, Marrone was the head coach at Syracuse University, and he led his team to victories in the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl in 2010, and he hoisted the George M. Steinbrenner Trophy again after defeating West Virginia University in the game last year.
In the interview, which took place after a Bills practice, the Bronx native shared his favorite memory from the week leading up to the first Pinstripe Bowl game.
"A few days before the game, I participated in a coaching clinic with a group of kids from the Bronx," said Marrone. "I spoke to them about how important education and sports were in my growth as a person. When I was delivering that talk, I thought to myself, 'This is my life right in front of me. I was just like these kids.' I was in the same place as those kids, and fortunately, I got a college scholarship. Now, I'm a head coach speaking to him. That clinic made me realize that life had really come full circle for me."
Marrone, who led the Orange to 8-5 records in 2010 and 2012, also spoke about the moments after the inaugural Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium.
"One of the most special moments of my life was when I received the trophy," Marrone said. "They handed me the microphone, and I began to thank the people who helped us get to that point. When I started to speak, I heard an echo, and it made me think about Lou Gehrig's speech. There's nothing like winning a game in New York City because you become part of such great history. That was very special for me."
The 2012 New Era Pinstripe Bowl was played in a snowstorm, and in my opinion, the weather conditions only enhanced the atmosphere in Yankee Stadium and added to the excitement. Near the end of the interview, I asked Marrone about coaching that game in the snow, and his response resonated with me.
"Being on the field that day reminded me of some of the football games at the old Yankee Stadium and at the Polo Grounds, which were played on torn-up fields while it was snowing," Marrone said. "I'm a purist, and I believe those are the best conditions to play football in. I loved everything about that day."
Again, the entire interview with Marrone will be published in the 2013 New Era Pinstripe Bowl Official Game Program. That publication will be available at the 2013 New Era Pinstripe Bowl on December 28, and it can be purchased by calling (800) GO-YANKS or by logging on to http://www.yankees.com/publications.

Honorary Giant
November 21, 2013 – In the midst of the many celebrations for Mariano Rivera this summer in Major League Baseball stadiums, I had a conversation with my closest friend, which resulted in another great honor for the Yankees great closer.
On a chilly afternoon in my backyard last spring, Matthew Shauger — who is the New York Giants assistant director of pro personnel and who has been my friend since we were both in third grade — and I began to discuss the possibility of the Giants honoring Rivera. In that conversation, our minds quickly raced toward the idea of Rivera serving as an honorary captain for Big Blue.
A few days later, Shauger asked the appropriate people in the Giants front office about the possibility of that happening. Don Sperling, who is a VP and executive producer of game entertainment with the Giants immediately embraced the idea and extended a formal invitation to the closer. With great appreciation, Rivera accepted.
On October 21, I had the privilege of traveling to MetLife Stadium with Rivera and his family for the Giants Monday Night Football game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Upon our arrival, Rivera was greeted in the owners' suite by Giants president and chief operating officer John Mara.
"We wanted someone to give us some positive energy," said Mara, whose family has been part of the team's ownership group since its inception in 1925. "Mariano is such a New York sports icon, such a revered figure, and one of the greatest Yankees of all time. He is the type of player you dream about having on your team, because he is a quality individual off the field as well a great clutch performer on it. For all those reasons, we thought it would be great to honor him."
After that visit, we headed to the field to watch pre-game warm-ups, and Rivera spent time with several gridiron greats including Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, former defensive end Michael Strahan and Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young.
One exchange that stood out above the others took place when all-time great wide receiver Jerry Rice approached Rivera (see photo below).
"I've won four Super Bowls," Rice said as he greeted Rivera. "But getting to meet you is one of the greatest moments in my life."
For me, those words really put Rivera's greatness in perspective. Like Rivera, it's fair to say that Rice is one of the few athletes who is unanimously regarded as the best to ever play his position. Therefore, the fact that Rice's brief meeting with Rivera meant that much to the former San Francisco 49er's star illustrates that Rivera is truly one of the most legendary sportsman in history.
"Mariano had a tremendous work ethic and an even greater love of the game," Rice said to me after sharing a few moments with the closer. "Playing baseball wasn't just a job for Mariano. He wanted to go to the ballpark everyday, and he wanted to improve every time he took the mound. He did so much for the game, and I really admire him for that."
As the teams exited the field following their pregame warm-ups, we were escorted to the tunnel outside the Giants locker room. From there, we watched as Big Blue took the field (see photo below).
"Being so close to those guys as they got ready to play a game was something I will always remember," Rivera said. "The atmosphere around an NFL team before a game is a lot different than it is in baseball. It's pretty intense."
A few minutes after the teams assembled on their respective sidelines, the Giants played a video tribute to Rivera. Then, the voice of the late Bob Sheppard — who in addition to serving as the Yankees public address announcer for 56 years, also held the position with the Giants for five decades — came over the sound system.
"Coming in to pitch for the Yankees, No. 42, Mariano Rivera, No. 42," Sheppard announced in a recording while Metallica's "Enter Sandman" played.
As Rivera was introduced, the sellout crowd at MetLife Stadium gave the closer a standing ovation, and he began to walk out of the tunnel toward midfield (see photo below). But within seconds, Rivera's slow pace turned to a jog.
"Because of the energy and excitement at that moment, I couldn't help but to start jogging," Rivera said. "There was too much adrenaline rushing through my body to walk out there so calmly."
When he got to the 50-yard line, Rivera — who was donning a jersey featuring Giants quarterback Eli Manning's name and number — was met by the team's captains.
Rivera stood between Manning and Vikings captain Adrian Peterson as the referee tossed a commemorative coin in the air (see photo below). The Vikings won the coin toss, and they elected to receive the football at the start of the game.
"I'm very grateful to the New York Giants organization for this tribute," Rivera said. "To have my family here with me made the experience even more special."
Whether Rivera's honorary captaincy played a role in the game's outcome is anyone's guess, but with the great closer on hand, the 0-6 Giants captured their first victory of the season.
"Mariano certainly charged up the crowd," said Mara, who watched the game with Rivera. "And, our players and coaches just kept it going. It was a great night and a big win for us."
The entire story of Rivera's night at MetLife Stadium will be published in the 2013 New Era Pinstripe Bowl Official Game Program and in the 2014 New York Yankees Official Yearbook.

November 21, 2013 – Earlier this fall, my 5-year-old son, Alfred, and I helped lead the Misericordia Cougars football team into battle.
On October 5, we were asked by the university — which I graduated from in 2001 — to be honorary captains for the homecoming game against King's College.
I've been on the advisory board for the university's athletic department since 2012, and I've enjoyed working on two fund-raising events. The first was a kickoff dinner for the football program, and the second was an inaugural golf tournament. As I took the field for the ceremonial coin toss, I felt proud of my efforts. But more than that, I was mindful that without the tremendous support of the New York Yankees, my contributions would have been much less impactful.
While it's always nice to be recognized by my alma mater, which is located in Northeast Pennsylvania and plays in the Division III Middle Atlantic Conference, the experience of walking from the home sideline to the 50-yard line with my son was unforgettable.
When we got to mid-field, the King's College captains extended a hand to me and to my young son, who was somewhat in awe of his surroundings. Then, the referee introduced Alfred and I to the crowd over the PA system.
"The Cougars' ceremonial captains for today's game are Al Santasiere and his son Alfred," the referee said. "Al is the director of publications for the New York Yankees and a 2001 graduate of Misericordia University."
At that point, the referee handed me a commemorative coin, and I tossed it high in the air. For the first time in Misericordia's two-year football history, they won a coin toss. Later that afternoon, they took the game into overtime and nearly captured their first victory. But after two overtime rounds, the Cougars lost a heartbreaker, 41-40.
After nearly two full seasons, the Cougars finally earned their first victory. This past Saturday (November 16) Misericordia defeated Fairleigh Dickinson University on the road.

October Issue of Yankees Magazine – ON SALE NOW
November 1, 2013 – The October Issue of Yankees Magazine is on sale now on newsstands throughout the Tri-State area.
Of course, you can purchase a subscription to the print version of Yankees Magazine by visiting http://www.yankees.com/publications or by calling (800) GO-YANKS. The digital version of the magazine is available through http://www.yankees.com/publications.
In my opinion, the October Issue (like the September Issue) is one of our all-time best. This edition includes a photo essay on Mariano Rivera's emotional celebration at Yankee Stadium, as well managing editor Nathan Maciborski's comprehensive story on Yankees great Jerry Coleman. For that feature, Maciborski spent two days with the former United States Marine and Yanks second baseman in San Diego, and it is a must read.
I am especially proud of the three features I put together for this issue, including the cover story on Andy Pettitte's final game. For the story on Pettitte, I flew to Houston with the team in late September, and I chronicled as much of the lefty's final days in pinstripes as I could.
After Pettitte tossed a gem in his final start at Yankee Stadium, he admitted that he didn't have much left in the preverbal tank. But with one start left in his 18-year career, and with the opportunity to pitch that game in his hometown of Houston in front of about 40 family members, Pettitte literally gave it everything he had.
I had a brief conversation with Pettitte when he got to Minute Maid Park on the afternoon of his last game. When Pettitte arrived in the visiting clubhouse, he was greeted by Joe Girardi, who caught him for several years in late-'90's, and Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera, whom Pettitte has been close friends with since they were teammates in the minor leagues in the early-'90s.
"Mo and Derek have made a huge impact in my life," a teary-eyed Pettitte said. "They mean a lot to me. I've been blessed to have them around me for so many years. Until you're ready to say goodbye, you don't realize how much time you spend around your teammates, coaches and trainers."
A few hours later, Pettitte made his final walk from the bullpen to the dugout. As he made his way, the pitcher peered toward the luxury box that his wife, children and parents were in.
"I found myself getting emotional again," Pettitte said. "And I said to myself, 'This is not good.'"
But from the very first pitch of the game, Pettitte kept his emotions in check. He threw a complete game, allowing only one run in the win.
It was an epic performance for a 41-year-old pitcher whose battle against Father Time was more grueling than his battle against a young Houston Astros lineup.
The day after the game, I sat down with Pettitte in the clubhouse for nearly an hour. He spoke with me about everything from the emotions he had as he drove to the ballpark to make his final performance, to the physical pain he felt in his shoulder in the late innings.
Pettitte also admitted that during the game, he flashed back to many of the memorable moments of his career.
"While I was sitting in the tunnel in between innings, I thought about the big games I've won and some of the postseason games I lost," Pettitte said. "All of that was running through my head, and I really enjoyed it."
In addition to the Pettitte story, I met up Aaron Boone last winter in Arizona (see blog entry below). During our lunch meeting, Boone described his greatest day in pinstripes.
Ten years ago, Boone hit a game-winning grand slam in the 11th inning of the 2003 American League Championship Series against the Boston Red Sox. Boone's first-person recollection of that seesaw game will bring you back to that thrilling night at the old Yankee Stadium.
Finally, a few hours after the 2013 Old-Timers' Day game, one of the most memorable evenings of my life began.
As day turned to night on June 23, I sat down with the only three men who have tossed perfect games for the Yankees (see photo below). For the first hour of the dinner, I interviewed Don Larsen, David Wells and David Cone about their respective masterpieces at Yankee Stadium.
In the candid interview, which took place at Smith and Wollensky steakhouse in New York City, each of the pitchers spoke about the emotions they felt as they took the mound for the ninth inning.
"The crowd was on their feet, and I was really excited to get out there," Wells said.
"I had a nervous feeling in my stomach for the first time," Larsen added. "And, I didn't' like it."
Cone listened intently and then chimed in.
"I never felt an adrenaline rush like that," he said. "Moments like that made it hard to retire because nothing can match that high."
After the interview and a steak dinner, Yankees chief photographer Ariele Goldman Hecht took a series of beautiful portraits in a bar room located next to the private room we ate dinner in. Below is one of those those portraits, along with a photo that my wife, Tiana, and I posed for with the perfect game pitchers.
Enjoy the last issue of 2013.

Mariano Rivera Honored in Houston
September 29, 2013 – On the final day Mariano Rivera will wear a Yankees uniform as a player, the Houston Astros honored him in a pre-game ceremony.
In the ceremony, which took place on the infield grass of Minute Maid Park, former Yankees manager Joe Torre and seven-time Cy Young Award winning pitcher Roger Clemens spoke about Rivera.
Torre's speech was spectacular. While he was at the podium, the skipper not only spoke about Rivera's talent but also about the type of teammate he was.
"When a player from the minor leagues or from another ballclub came into our clubhouse for the first time, you would see Mariano at their locker," Torre said. "He helped a countless number of players to get acclimated, and really whenever someone was in need of any kind of help, Mariano was there. That was so important to our success. Sometimes people forget that baseball is played by human beings, and you need people like Mariano on every team. Every player who played with Mariano has been touched."
Clemens' salute to Rivera was also poignant.
"You're an incredible person and teammate," Clemens said. "Nobody wants to see you go. We're going to miss that cool jog you made from centerfield. Nothing in this world is a sure thing, but as a starting pitcher, when I'd see you come into the game, I knew that was as close as you can get."
After Torre and Clemens spoke, Rivera address the crowd with candor and humility.
"I want to apologize to the Houston Astros organization, to the players and to the great fans here," Rivera began. "I'm sorry that I'm not going to compete against you in this series. I wanted to leave with the game I played on Thursday night at Yankee Stadium. I want to keep that memory."
As I wrote on this blog yesterday, I believe Rivera made the right decision by sitting out the Houston series. He didn't have to apologize, but the kind message he offered to the Astros team and fan base was a classy touch.

Perfect Ending for Andy Pettitte
September 28, 2013 – Andy Pettitte pitched the final game of his life tonight, and he put forth a performance that epitomized his great career.
Pettitte only gave up one run over nine innings. He earned the win, and improved his 2013 record to 11-11. He also became the first pitcher to go 18 seasons without a losing record.
But tonight was about more than just numbers.
In his final act, Pettitte was as gutsy as ever. It was like a vintage postseason game in which Pettitte refused to be beat.
Pettitte allowed one man to reach base in each of the first six innings, yet only one of those runners reached home. He was never actually in trouble but he battled back in almost every inning to keep the Astros off the board.
Even the one run that the Astros scored off Pettitte almost didn't happen. After giving up a leadoff single to the speedy Jose Altuve, Pettitte got Matt Dominguez on a ground ball that moved Altuve to second. The next batter, Chris Carter, hit a ground ball to short. Altuve was running on the pitch that Carter hit, and he was almost at third base when Yankees shortstop Brendan Ryan fielded the ball. Ryan had no play at third, and so he throw to first for the sure out. Altuve rounded third and beat first baseman Lyle Overbay's throw to the plate by a half second.
As the game went on, Pettitte dug deeper. He got stronger. The lefty struck out the first two batters of the 8th inning, then got the final out on a ground ball to Robinson Cano at second base. The crowd gave Pettitte a standing ovation, and the pitcher pumped his fist and walked off the mound.
After the game, Pettitte said that Joe Girardi left the decision on whether to pitch the 9th inning up to him. Pettitte took advantage of the rare opportunity to choose his fate, and he took on the challenge of retiring the Astros in the final frame of the 2-1 game.
As Pettitte emerged from the dugout, the Minute Maid Park crowd gave him a standing ovation. They remained standing for the remainder of the game. They cheered loudly as Pettitte retired the first two batters. After Pettitte gave up a single to first baseman Chris Carter, Girardi walked to the mound amid a crescendo of boos. But again, the skipper left the decision up to Pettitte.
To no-one's surprise, Pettitte stayed in the game, and as he had done the entire night and for 18 big-league seasons, he got an out when he needed it most.
When Pettitte got leftfielder J.D. Martinez to ground out to end the game, he added to his legacy as one of the greatest Yankees of all-time. Pettitte hadn't pitched a complete game all season, and last Sunday, he wondered if he had the enough left in the tank to go all nine. He was admittedly sore when he took the mound for the last inning of his career, but on this night, Pettitte was determined to go the distance.
The moments after the game were as special as those during. Pettitte hugged every teammate and coach. Then Girardi embraced him and pushed him out onto the infield for one last curtain call. The crowd of 37,199 — most of whom had not left — cheered once more. The Yankees applauded Pettitte as did the entire Astros team.
Of all the topics Pettitte talked about after the game, only one got him chocked up. When Pettitte was asked about the applause he received from his teammates and the guys he had just defeated, his eyes welled up.
Pettitte deserves all the accolades he has received because he played the game the right way. That's why every player stood on the field and clapped for him. It was the perfect ending for one of the most perfect Yankees.

Final Image of Mo Took Place Where It Was Supposed To
September 28, 2013 – About an hour after Mariano Rivera met with ballpark employees at Minute Maid Field for the 21st and final meet-and-greet of the season (see blog entry below about previous meet-and-greets), he met with the media for what will likely be the last time as a player.
A large group of writers fired questions at Rivera for about 20 minutes in the visitors' dugout, and during that time, the closer revealed that he will not take the mound in Houston. He said that he has nothing left.
With much respect for the fans of Houston, I believe Rivera made the right decision. After all, the incredible scenario that unfolded in the last game Rivera pitched in at Yankee Stadium is a moment that will live in the hearts of baseball fans forever. It's the lasting image that every athlete would want fans to have of them.
For Rivera to come back to the mound and make that moment not be his last would not have made sense. It was the perfect ending, and now we all know that it was indeed our final image of the great Mariano Rivera on the mound.

SOSEScript: setTownGlobals failed executing with the following error: Error on line 32 position 1: Subscript out of range: '[number: 0]'
Publication: Shore Publishing
For as long as anyone in the shoreline area can remember, the Valley Regional cross country and track programs have been a staple among the list of some of the best in Class S and there is certainly one man's name who can be attributed to that success: Lou Luciani.
A track and cross country coach at Valley Regional for the past 39 years, Lou is stepping back from his position-and his home in Clinton where he and his wife, Ellen, have resided since 1973-to retreat to their vacation home in North Carolina. Though Lou leaves the Warriors for the warmth of his new full-time home in the south, Valley's success will remain hot due to the hard work and program he has built over the years.
"Am I going to miss this? Absolutely. I'm going to look down here and see if I can help out at South Brunswick High School," says Lou. "In the long run, you try to make your kids better and that's the part I'm going to miss."
Lou graduated from Amity Regional High School in 1964, playing football and taking up outdoor track as a hurdler his senior year, a sport he still holds a school record in for the 180-yard low hurdles. He then went into the service after graduation and served in Vietnam and it was in that unlikely place that he got his first taste of working with kids.
"We worked with some of the local kids there as kind of a goodwill type of thing," recalls Lou. "We did a lot of physical fitness stuff with them, taught them to play sports like soccer, baseball, basketball, and football."
Upon returning to the states, Lou attended Southern Connecticut State University and graduated with a degree in special education, followed by earning a student-teaching position at Valley Regional High School before teaching special education at John Winthrop Middle School in Deep River, where he taught for 32 years before his retirement eight years ago. It was while teaching at John Winthrop that Lou met running coach Bill Gadus and his coaching career began to take off.
"I would never have thought I'd be a teacher or especially a coach-Bill Gadus got me started when he asked me to help him out one day at Valley and I liked it and continued. We coached all year long from September to June and it became second nature," says Lou. "You get out of school, then go to practice or a meet."
Having been an assistant coach with the Valley football team a year prior, 1974 began Lou's long coaching tenure with the Warriors' running program as he started out as an assistant alongside Gadus before taking over the reins when Gadus left to go full time active in the military.
"I was learning from Bill, who was a great role model for me to follow, and this [running] program is still going OK today," says Lou.
Having only a boys' track program when he first started, Lou is credited with founding Valley's girls' cross country and indoor track programs while leading the Warriors to two state championships (boys' indoor in 1978 and girls' outdoor in 1993), several Shoreline Conference titles-the most recent being in 2010 for the girls' cross country squad-and scores of individual state and conference champions.
"That's the most important, that the kids continue through college," says Lou, who was named the Connecticut High School Coaches Association Coach of the Year for indoor track in 1991. "That's the good stuff is seeing them run past high school. Seeing them go on and do well after they get out of high school, or seeing them come back after high school and coming back to see the meets. I've seen a lot of kids go through."
Having worked the longest with Lou is Valley's current boys' outdoor track and head football coach Tim King, who recognizes Lou's coaching ability as rare and hard to find.
"He's been a true mentor to me," says King. "He absolutely loves the kids-he's been coaching for so many years and he still gets teary-eyed at awards night with the kids. Every kid means so much to him and you don't want much more from a coach. Wins and losses are just that, but when you have someone who really cares about your son or daughter, parents should be so happy they had such a role model and someone who really cares for their kids as a coach. I can't thank him enough and the time's been incredible."
With a slew of memories packed into 39 years of coaching, Lou recalls a few things that he'll take with him forever.
"Sometimes I even think this year in cross country-we had high expectations going in and then we get the kids that are injured, but then we have the strong underclassmen who pull through and the veterans that carry the load. All those kids are new and old, and they all did a great job," says Lou, who thanks Gadus, Richard Blythe, Richard Stebbins, Joey Kuzaro, Dave Russell, Tim Doyle, Guy Liberatore, Ginny Mislick, Hank Koritkoski, Jeff Swan, the Valley custodial staff, the Athletic Director secretaries, the Valley parents and athletes, and shoreline running coaches. "When something like that is more impressive to me than winning, that says something. I remember things like that-it's not what could've been, but the kids make it all worth it. When you get something you don't expect, that's better. I probably could've coached for another 100 years."

The Case Against Cocktails in Mason Jars: John Kessler, a food blogger for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, has a bone to pick with bar owners (and probably hipsters) all over. At the beginning of the month he took to his various social media channels, proclaiming that "If I never get a drink served in a mason jar in 2013, it will be a good year." He writes about his desire to see the jar craze fade out in a recent blog post, reporting that while quite a few of his followers agreed with him, many did not, including a chef who called him "grumpy." What do you readers think, should the heavy jars be phased out, or should we all continue to raise a glass to the mighty Mason?

Update: Fulton County standoff ends in arrest
Date of News Release: 03/28/2013
(Hickory, KY.) The Kentucky State Police is continuing its investigation involving a shooting that occurred on Monday, March 25, 2013 in Fulton, KY. Senior Trooper Richard Wright, Jr. was the trooper involved in a vehicle pursuit and shooting with Joshua White, following a traffic stop, during this incident. White fled from state police to a public housing complex in Fulton, on Vernon Avenue, where he exited his vehicle and fired a handgun at Trooper Wright, striking his patrol cruiser. Trooper Wright returned fire, and White fled into a residence. White later surrendered to state police. He remains jailed in the Fulton County Detention Center on a $200,000 cash bond.
Trooper Wright has been assigned to the Mayfield Post, since graduating from the Kentucky State Police Academy in November 2000. A decorated, thirteen year veteran of the agency, Trooper Wright has been placed on paid administrative leave, pursuant to KSP policy, while the investigation continues.
Original News Release Below:
Fulton County standoff ends in arrest
Date of News Release: 03/25/2013
(Fulton, KY.) -- On Monday March 25, 2013 at approximately 10:26 AM, a Kentucky State Police Trooper conducted a traffic stop on Joshua White (22), of Fulton, KY for a traffic violation. After the Trooper made his initial approach, it was discovered that Mr. White had a failure to appear bench warrant for his arrest. When the Trooper went back to arrest White, he drove off. The Trooper initiated a pursuit, which lasted approximately two and a half miles, and ended within a public housing complex, on Vernon Avenue, in Fulton. White exited his vehicle and fired a handgun at the Trooper. The Trooper returned fire with his service weapon, and White fled into a duplex. The vehicle that White was driving was left in gear, and after fleeing this vehicle on foot, it continued traveling north on Vernon Avenue until colliding with a parked vehicle.
KSP Troopers, Fulton City Police officers, and Fulton County Sheriff's Deputies quickly surrounded the residence and began evacuating neighbors.
Inside the residence were Kali Papierski (19) and two small children (ages 6 months & 2 years). A KSP negotiator made contact with Ms. Papierski, and after nearly 2 1/2 hours, both adults and the two children came out of the residence. White refused verbal commands to show his hands, and then ran back into the residence. Papierski and the two children were removed to a safe area by KSP officers.
Fulton City Police notified the local school system to hold students that would have otherwise been bused to the housing unit, when the local school system dismissed students for the day. Parents were notified of the situation and alternate arrangements were made to pick up these students at school.
After another standoff that lasted nearly an hour, White surrendered and was taken into custody, by KSP, without further incident. White was transported to the Parkway Regional Hospital in Fulton, where he was treated and released, before being lodged in the Fulton County Detention Center.
At the time of this offense, White was on felony probation for Trafficking in a Controlled Substance, 1st Degree, 1st Offense (Crack Cocaine), stemming from a 2010 conviction in Fulton Circuit Court (case #09-CR-00042), in which he received a 10 year prison sentence which was later probated in 2010.
At 9:10 PM, KSP Troopers and Detectives completed executing a search warrant and collecting evidence at the scene. Residents of the housing complex have been allowed to return to their homes.
Mr. White was arrested and charged with the following: Fleeing and Evading Police 1St Degree (Motor Vehicle) (Class D Felony), Fleeing and Evading Police 1st Degree (on foot) (Class D Felony), Criminal Mischief 1st Degree (Class D Felony), DUI 2nd Offense, aggravating circumstances (Class B Misdemeanor) Driving DUI Suspended License (Class A Misdemeanor), Failure of Owner to Maintain Insurance (Class B Misdemeanor), Disregarding a Stop Sign, Disregarding a Control Device (Traffic Light), No Kentucky Registration, and served with a bench warrant for failure to appear.
Ms. Papierski was later arrested and charged with Hindering Apprehension 2nd Degree (Class A Misdemeanor) and two counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Minor (Class A Misdemeanors); these charges stem from the assistance she provided to White while he fled the commission of a felony offense. Both were lodged in the Fulton County Detention Center.
Additional charges including but not limited to the following: Attempted Murder of a Police Officer, Tampering with Physical Evidence, and Possession of a Handgun by a Convicted Felon are pending.
Kentucky State Police were assisted on the scene by the Fulton City Police Department, Fulton County Sheriff's Department, Fulton City Fire Department, and Tri-City EMS. The investigation continues by the Kentucky State Police.

Ok so this product really works. I used it for a few month and my lashes got longer and thicker
this product darkened my whole eye area (at first i didn't understand that it was this product the culprit...) and worse of all i had hair growing under my eyes and on top of my cheek...was really ugly.
So i searched on the internet if other people had this hair growth problem and i noticed that a lot complained about the darkening of eye area, so that's when i understood that it was the fault of this product i stopped it and fortunately everything got back in order (hair and dark color disappeared)
Now i am going to finish it on my brows and will never buy again.

Been using this for 6 months now. I can see my lash really grow longer. Used it everynight before went to bed. Its really good!
It's one of those products that look gimmicky but it actually works!
I was super sceptical about Revitalash, but after doing heaps of research and watching reviews on youtube, I gave in and purchased mine off eBay from seller 'belowcostpricedealers'
which I found was way more affordable than any of the other deals I had seen on the internet. For me, it took about 2 - 3 weeks to see results, but I noticed a massive difference in my lashes - length and thickness wise, and I also noticed my eyelashes (which a naturally stick straight) started to have a bit of a curl in them. I am beyond amazed and SO happy with the results! Been using it for 4 months straight and I'm not even half way through the bottle! Definitely worth the money and I will continue to repurchase until something better comes out :)

This product has bought my lashes back from the dead! I had lash extensions for years and they really took a toll on my natural lashes. I had them removed recently and was horrifed at how short my natural lashes were. I waited months for them to grow and there was hardly any growth. I ended up getting extensions again but before having them removed, this time around I purchased some revitalash. It made such a difference! I have never seen my natural lashes this long. I am very pleased.

Have been using this for 2-3 months now, every single day (sometimes twice a day). Have not had any problems, like eyelashes falling out as some of you have said. Lashes are longer and I've now had them permed (AMAZING). There's still plenty of product left in the bottle 3 months on so I'll happily keep on going with it until it's all gone. Revitalash + eyelash perming is the way to go. For more honest reviews, 'like' Face Up To It on Facebook, Twitter @YoCalliss, yocalliss.wordpress.com. Thanks :)
I started using Revitalash last july after reading a lot of good reviews about this product and seeing pictures of some beauty blogger's lashes before and after using this stuff. After using Revitalash for over 3 months I can honestly say that it is freaking amazing! In the beginning of using Revitalash I noticed my lashes getting a lot stronger. I used to loose a lash or two when removing my eye-makeup. After a week of using Revitalash I didn't loose any lash at all. I believe that this is what's causing Revitalash to work so well. Your lashes become stronger, they stop falling out and this gives them the chance to grow some extra length over time. The lengtening effect takes a while before you notice it. I've tried to use Revitalash on a daily base, but I think I've only succeeded in doing so in the first week. I did however use Revitalash for 3-4 times a week in the last 3 months. Right now my lashes are getting to the point of almost being too long!!! I get a lot of compliments on them, but also a lot of questions on 'my lash extensions' and 'my false lashes'. I also had to stop using my favourite mascara, L'oreal Telescopic Carbon black, since my lashes keep tipping my eyebrows when I use this mascara, and this causes the ends of lashes to look a bit crooked at the tips. I'm going to minimize my Revitalash usage to once a week and hope this will stabilize my lash length.

Love this product. Totally does what it says it will do.
Ive been using eyelash conditioners for quite some time now. Due to the fact that my own eyelashes are pretty ordinary. Not extremely short but also not long or thick.
I started out using Lilash, which is also a great product. It made my lashes longer in 3-4 weeks and they stayed long. The thing i disliked was the fact that it didnt really make my eyelashes thicker. Also after 2 years of use, i had the feeling the effect started to decrease, so I figured I might as well try revitalash (practically the same price anyway).
When i tried revitalash first at use I wasnt very pleased, my eyes felt a little irritated. A bit of a burning sensation. Though I have very sensitive eyes, so not really suprising. This lasted for a couple of weeks and now it doesnt bother me anymore. I didnt have any other side effects.
It took me a while to see results I think at least 8 weeks (been using it almost 3-4 months now, every day at night) and like other reviewers my eyelashes fell out a bit (at start of use).
I was about to give up, but Im glad I sticked to it, cause my eyelashes are longer then ever. Also they got a bit thicker. When wearing mascara they look pretty damn neat and people have complimented me about this.
Dont get me wrong its not a miracle product, its not like you are wearing false lashes and the its a pretty expensive product. But you will definitelly see a massive difference.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i've been using revitalash for about 10 months and it has been a great success - i've had no problems and my lashes are lovely: not OMG long, but much thicker and longer than they are naturally, and pretty awesome with a few coats of mascara. plus i no longer bother with lash curlers, lash extensions, or false eyelashes, which saves me a lot of time, money, and fiddling around, and i can use oily eye makeup remover, and rub my eyes when i feel like it, without worrying about what it's doing to my extensions ;-)
i should add :
(i) it took a long time to see any effect on my lashes. it was probably about three months of near daily use - and i'd pretty much decided it wasn't going to work - before my lashes started looking noticeably longer. quickly after that i had a great result.
(ii) i had a phase early on after starting with revitalash, where i lost more than the usual amount of lashes, and although that was worrying i persisted, and now my lashes are thicker than ever, and have been for a while.
(iii) i use the product every other day and i have found this as effective as daily use.
(iv) it also works on brows to thicken them up, and some hairs grow really long (!), but i haven't been able to fill out a couple of overplucked areas - only a few sparse hairs have come in so i haven't thrown out my eyebrow pencils just yet. (eta: the brow product has been more successful at filling in the overplucked areas so i'm using both products now).
(v) i haven't had any dark / blue staining of my eyelids, and my eyes are still the same green, but if pressed i would have to say my waterlines and the skin around my eyes does seem a little pinker and slightly more prone to irritation, but nothing i can't deal with - and it may be unconnected to the revitalash.
(vi) i only put the product on my upper lashes / eyelids but my lower lashes have thickened and lengthened too, which is just as well because they'd look pretty unbalanced otherwise ;-)
all in all i'm very pleased with revitalash. my only complaint is that it is hard to find - you have to deal with the ongoing allergan v athena situation - and expensive to buy, but i'm enjoying having good lashes and brows so much, it's worth it.
UPDATE: a recent paula's choice in-depth review endorses revitalash (and rapidlash) as one of the very few lash enhancing products that lives up to its claims.

Will be great for stuff at the cabin. Good product, great price.
New condition
These 'used' bags looked brand new to me. I am using them as stuff sacks for my big winter sleeping bags (Guide Gear, of course). Great deal.
Nothing used about these. Also, they're not laundry bags, they're waterproof bags for your ruck & the quality is on par or better than the US versions we were issued back in the 90s. This is an epic package deal - I've ordered more because once surplus is gone, it's gone forever. Get these while you can because they're giving them away at this price.
Great rubberized bags, they are brand new. Great quality.
