Phantoms Top Whale, 6-3, On Opening
Phantoms fans were treated to a great pregame show
featuring the brand-new video boards, and then enjoyed
a stirring comeback, in the team's big Opening
Night victory over the Connecticut Whale.
Five-straight Phantom goals erased a 3-1 Connecticut
lead, as the home team cruised onto a season-opening
win, over their new division rival
Six different Phantoms lit the lamp in the comeback
including Oskars Bartulis, Denis Hamel, Kevin Marshall,
Luke Pither, Eric Wellwood and Mike Testwuide, who
capped the night with an empty netter in the game's
final seconds. The decisive blows were from Kevin
Marshall and Luke Pither. Marshall 's slap-shot
goal midway through the second period knotted the
score 3-3, and Pither's first goal of the
season with three minutes left in the second period
proved to be the game winner.
Michael Leighton backstopped the comeback effort
by making 24 saves.
New Improvements to The GFCC!
The Phantoms' Opening Night win Glens Falls
Civic Center also featured the debut of two state-of-the
art video boards, along with a brand-new sound system.
The improvements helped create an electric atmosphere
in Glens Falls , as the home team skated away with
an impressive Opening Night win over their new division
rival, in front of 4,521 screaming fans in Glens
Falls .
Mayor Jack Diamond opened the evening by helping
unveil the new improvements and thanking the collaborative
efforts of the many groups and individuals that
made it possible. What followed was three hours
of celebrating, fun and hockey as the home team
picked up where they left off at the conclusion
of the previous season. The Phantoms won their final
seven home games of 2011-12 and extended that streak
to eight straight backed by the nonstop noise in
the building.
Upcoming Opponents
Bridgeport Sound Tigers-After
not facing each other in 2010-11, the Phantoms and
Sound Tigers will play two of six 2011-12 contests
this coming weekend. The teams will square off at
the Glens Falls Civic Center on Friday, where the
Phantoms have won eight straight regular-season
games dating back to last season, before battling
in Bridgeport on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. The Sound Tigers,
AHL affiliate of the New York Islanders, skate into
the weekend with a record of 1-1-0, after falling
to Portland in their home opener last
Saturday and beating Albany , 4-2, at Times Union
Center last Sunday.
Syracuse Crunch-The Phantoms
and Crunch play their first of 10 head-to-head matchups
this season, as Adirondack takes to the road for
this first time this season. The Phantoms went 4-0-0
at War Memorial at OnCenter in Syracuse last season,
and 7-1-0 against the Crunch overall. The 14 points
the Phantoms earned against the Crunch were more
than they earned against any other 2010-11 opponent.

The Affiliate of Brotherly Love
The Phantoms roster features four players who
have older brothers currently on NHL Rosters. The
younger brother of Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman
Luke Schenn, Brayden Schenn dazzled the hometown
fans in his Phantoms debut on Opening Night. Schenn
registered two assists and led several key offensive
rushes for the Phantoms, while being named the game's
second star. The younger Schenn now has three goals
and six assists in eight-career AHL games, showing
why he has been regarded as one of hockey's
top prospects since getting selected in the first
round (fifth overall) by the Los Angeles Kings in
the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
Another Phantom with a sibling on the Toronto Maple
Leafs is Blake Kessel, whose older brother, Phil,
notched a hat trick against the Ottawa Senators
last Saturday night in a 6-0 Toronto win. While
Phil Kessel was busy scoring a hat trick in the
NHL, Blake Kessel was making his professional debut
at the Glens Falls Civic Center . And Blake Kessel
got his first professional point by stealing the
puck and assisting on Luke Pither's game-winning
goal against Connecticut .
Tye McGinn made his professional debut for the
Phantoms on Saturday, as his older brother, Jamie,
was playing for the San Jose Sharks against the
Phoenix Coyotes. Jame McGinn scored the game-winning
goal against the Phantoms, in their first game as
the Adirondack Phantoms at the Glens Falls Civic
Center , on October 3, 2009 as a Worcester Shark.
Matt Read Flying High
An Adirondack Phantom for 11 games near the end
of the 2010-11 season, Matt Read made his NHL debut
for the Philadelphia Flyers, against the Boston
Bruins, last Thursday at TD Garden. Read followed
his memorable NHL debut game last Thursday with
a memorable NHL milestone game last Saturday. In
the third period, Read beat the NHL's all-time
leader in wins and shutouts, Martin Brodeur, for
his first NHL goal, as the Flyers went on to beat
the Devils, 2-0, in Newark , New Jersey .
Zac Rinaldo
A well-established AHL tough guy, Zac Rinaldo
made his NHL regular-season debut for the Flyers
last Thursday in Boston , and played for the Flyers
again in their 2-0 win over New Jersey on Saturday.
However, this wasn't Rinaldo's first
taste of NHL hockey, as the rugged winger played
in two playoff games for Philadlephia last season,
as the team advanced to the second round for the
third time in the last four seasons. Congratulations
Previewing the Phantoms
Adirondack features 14 returning players who appeared
in a minimum of 30 games with the Phantoms last
season. 19 players on the Opening Night roster played
in at least one game with Adirondack in 2010-11.
Some of the familiar names returning to the Phantoms
this season include leading scorer Denis Hamel,
2010-11 MVP Ben Holmstrom, Phantoms Rookie of the
Year Erik Gustafsson as well as Mike Testwuide,
Eric Wellwood, Michael Leighton, Kevin Marshall
and Jon Kalinski.
Head Coach Joe Paterson
Joe Paterson returns for his second season as
head coach of the Adirondack Phantoms. The Glen
Lake resident assumed the reigns midway through
2010-11 and guided the team to a 25-16-8 mark. Paterson
has played in 293 career NHL games with the Detroit
Red Wings, Los Angeles Kings, New York Rangers and
Philadelphia Flyers. Paterson was a left wing on
the Adirondack Red Wings from 1981-84, and scored
52 goals and 122 points in 169-career games. He
also served as an assistant coach of the Adirondack
Red Wings for three seasons from 1992-94, under
Newell Brown. He played under Doug McKay, Bill Mahoney
and Bill Dineen while with the Red Wings. His best
season with Adirondack as a player was in 1981-82,
when he scored 22 goals and 28 assists, for 50 points,
in 74 games.
Phantoms Offense
Adirondack returns many of their leading corers
and top players from 2010-11. The Phantoms'
leader in points and co-leader in goals, Denis Hamel
(25g, 25a), begins his 15th season in pro hockey
with 315-career markers. Hamel's 315 goals
are 16th in AHL history, and just one behind current
Washington Capitals head coach, Bruce Boudreau,
for 15th place on the all-time list. Boudreau, a
former 20-year pro, finished his career by playing
four playoff games with the Adirondack Red Wings
in 1991-92, as the team was en route to its fourth
Calder Cup championship.
The Phantoms' second leading scorer last
season, defenseman Erik Gustafsson (5g, 44a), returns
as well. Last year, the rookie blueliner led the
team in assists and played at the AHL All-Star Classic
while also being named to the AHL All-Rookie Team.
Mike Testwuide led all Phantoms rookies in goals
with 18. He lit it up in the second half of the
season scoring 16 of those tallies. Eric Wellwood
returns after an impressive debut season at only
20 years old in which he scored 16 goals and 28
Phantoms Defense
Joining the aforementioned Erik Gustafsson on
the Phantoms' back line will be fellow-returnees
Kevin Marshall, Oskars Bartulis, Marc-Andre Bourdon,
Cullen Eddy, Oliver Lauridsen and Dan Jancevski,
while University of New Hampshire product Blake
Kessel is the lone newcomer.
Marshall played in 78 games last year and leads
all Adirondack Phantoms players with 153 total games
Bartulis has 66 games of NHL experience under his
belt with the Flyers including 13 last season. He
has played in 153 games with the Adirondack and
Philadelphia Phantoms dating back to 2007-08.
The veteran, Jancevski, served as the team's
captain in 2010-11. He has played in 776 career
AHL games and moves into 35th all-time in Saturday's
Phantoms Goaltending
The veteran goaltending of the Phantoms is expected
to be one of the team's strengths this season.
The trio of goalies currently on Adirondack's
roster are Michael Leighton, Jason Bacashihua and
Johan Backlund. Leighton and Bacashihua have each
played nine pro seasons in the AHL and NHL.
Backlund was the Phantoms team MVP in 2009-10 and
has eight combined professional seasons between
the AHL and Swedish Elite League.
Leighton equaled a Phantoms franchise record last
year with a .926 saves percentage. Leighton starts
the year with 144 AHL wins and 34 shutouts, including
five last season. The 34 shutouts are the most in
the AHL's modern era (since 1975) and sixth
most all-time.
Bacashihua comes to the Phantoms from the Lake
Erie Monsters (Colorado) of the AHL. He was 23-16-3
last season with an impressive 2.29 goals against
average. He was with the Hershey Bears in their
most recent Calder Cup championship season the year
before that and has played parts of two seasons
with the St. Louis Blues.

Thrifting In and Around Town
By Tony Turner 10/21/10
When was the last time you set foot into a thrift shop or consignment shop? If you haven't been recently you might be surprised at how thrift shopping has changed. "Thrifting" is a fun, exciting, and economical shopping pastime that is sweeping the nation!
Take a look at any home decorating magazine or coffee table book and you will find decorators, designers, and homeowners jazzing up their nests with refurbished, second hand finds from tag sales, flea markets, and thrift shops. Gently used home goods are finding fresh new life in fabulous new ways. Furniture, rugs, lamps, glassware, bric-a-brac, linens, and seasonal goods are in abundance at today's thrift shops and consignment shops, all at deeply discounted prices. Suffice it to say, thrifting is a great way to stretch a dollar.
But it's not just housewares that smart thrifters are searching for. Most shops also carry a nice selection of clothing for the entire family, kid's goods, toys, books, sports equipment, collectibles, antiques, and more.
Shopping at thrift stores may be the closest thing you'll ever have to a real life treasure hunt. You never know what you'll find when you walk into a second hand shop – that's part of the thrill of the hunt! As cliché as it might sound "one man's trash is truly another man's treasure!"
10 Easy Tips For Shopping Thrift and Consignment Shops:
1. Don't be afraid of used. Just because something has been previously owned or used by someone else should not be a deterrent. Remember that you are saving a lot of money!
2. Look for seasonal items, holiday collectibles, and decorations "off-season" (You can often find great deals and better selection of Christmas ornaments in June for example.)
3. Be friendly and courteous to the staff. They will quickly remember you and what you might be looking for, often holding back prime items for you when you come in again to shop.
4. Take cash. Some stores are more willing to haggle or give discounts to shopper's with cold hard cash.
5. Don't go with children. You may want to spend hours browsing aisles of shelves or racks of clothing and this is no fun for kids – especially very little ones.
6. Shop with a friend. Split up the store with you taking one half and her the other. You can cover more ground and bounce ideas off each other, plus make a fun afternoon of it!
7. Shop on sale days. Some thrift stores offer special prices on different days or different times of the month. Most discounts are posted at the front of the stores, or even on their web sites. Sign up for e-mail lists so you can be made aware of special sales.
8. Be open-minded and think outside the box. Wise thrifters are always thinking of new ways to repurpose old castoffs. Often times all is needed to make something "new" again is a needle and thread or an inexpensive can of spray paint.
9. Shop often. Good shops' inventory turns very quickly and you will always find many new items in a week or so.
10. Go with your gut. If something catches your eye and the price is right, put it into your cart. It's guaranteed that if you don't and you go back later for it, it will be gone!

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

When the cliche stands tall
Inspirational football movie tries too hard for its own good
When the Game Stands Tall is based on a true story – an unbelievable true story that takes the word "inspiring" about as far as it can go.
It's a film about Bob Ladouceur, coach of the De La Salle High Spartans, a California high school football team with 12 consecutive undefeated seasons (a staggering 151 games won in a row).
Along the way, Ladouceur (played by Jim Caviezel) faced the kind of hardship most football coaches (thankfully) can only imagine – suffering a near-fatal heart attack, the death of a star player, and rebuilding the team after that 151-game streak came to a humiliating end. > Read more.

Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework that's optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. All the cool kids are using it. Now you can be one of the programmers for those awesome websites.
Learning Rails for the first time should be fun, and this class will allow you to get your feet wet and start learning how to build rails apps. We will cover the basics of the Ruby language and explore the key concepts behind the Rails framework, like MVC (models, views, and controllers), ActiveRecord, and more.
The format of the class is going to be a lecture - I will be building a rails application in real time, you will be able to ask questions and optionally follow along. That will be the first hour and a half and then there will be time to ask questions and build some other features. The goal is for you to know what Rails is capable of, get a basic understanding of Ruby syntax, and learn how to learn more.
Topics Covered
Prerequisites: If you are new to programming, I just ask that you come with patience and passion. You won't be ready to build your own product after this class, but you'll see that programming isn't some magical language that means you are half computer and leave with an idea and a resource in me on how to continue your journey in code. If you are new to Ruby and Rails but have built web applications, then this class will give you an idea of what building on Rails is like and the beauty and effeciency of Ruby.
Honor Code Scholarships
I want to try something. I'm offering a 10% discount on all my classes and courses. They are basically Honor Code Scholarships. If you feel like you deserve 10% off, go ahead and take it, use HONOR as a discount code and you are auto approved for a scholarship. If you can afford the full price and value high quality learning experiences, I encourage you to do that, but if you feel like you'd qualify for a scholarship. go for it.

Perfect Mid-weight Gloves

I bought these gloves as more of a spring type glove, but have since worn them throughout an entire season. I get extremely cold hands, so bad that I often have to go inside, so normally I wear mittens.
Although I have never had a problem with these, and that's saying something. Also, after a full season of over 80 days of skiing, I see no rips or tears. Since I ski a lot of terrain park, I pick up my skis and hike a lot. Gripping your edges with gloves is usually deadly to the leather, but so far so good with these bad boys.
Never had a problem with wet hands either. I really can't say anything bad about these gloves.

After another full season (100+ days) this SAME pair is still going strong!

Easily the best gloves I've used. Way better than Burton Gore-tex models, which seem to be pretty common. The leather is soft and durable, and very waterproof if you apply the included treatment, which is pretty easy if you have 15 minutes to do it.
They keep your hands perfectly dry, and really warm, even better than some mittens I've used in the past. I love the under the sleeve softshell cuff, although the velcro snags part of the stitching and makes it a frayed mess, hopefully they've fixed that this year.
I had my doubts about the Hipora insert, but I actually thing is performs the same if not better than Gore-tex as far as waterproofness and breathability. Great gloves, I bought a second pair for whenever my first wears out.
And the rasta color is sweet. Sizing is pretty close, fingers are a touch long, not much to worry about though.
Best gloves ever!
Member since
These gloves are amazing!! I have had more pairs of snowboarding gloves than any one person should ever need in a lifetime. These gloves are super comfortable, keep your hands amazingly dry and seem super durable....though I have only had them for a couple of months. I have been riding deep powder lines in the trees 2-3 x a wk in CO since I got them and they have kept my hands super dry and warm even when completely submerged in powder. If you use the nikwax provided with the gloves they should hold their waterproofing for quite a while. I got the white ones and they look awesome. Also I like that the figer liners do not come out as I had a pair of Dakines that did that and was very dissapointed. All and all, great glove I would recommed to anyone who wants there hands to be warm and comfy. Have ur hands ever been way too warm and comfortable while riding????? Let me tell you it's AMAZING. Happy shredding!!
Very Warm and Comfy

Very warm, and they will last a long time because of the high quality of leather. Highly recommended for anyone who rides in very cold temperatures. Most gloves that are super warm are also super bulky; but not these, thanks to the PrimaLoft insulation.
Can't go wrong with these.

The gloves are very comfy. Mate told me not to wax them and that was a big mistake. I'm sure they will be great now that I have ; )
POW Tanto glove

Do not buy these for skiing or anything where the weather may be below 40-45F. The temps were 37F on the mountain and I wore a silk liner underneath and had heaters and my fingers still froze! The also did not hold up well, after 1 wear, the brown leather was already losing it's colors on the index and thumb area that grip your ski pole. Abort purchase!

I highly question this post. I have only used these gloves about 15 times this year. However, they have worked amazingly for me. I've never worn anything underneath them. Maybe that is the problem you are facing. They are great down to about 5 degrees (below that is a bit chilly). However, at 37 is where I start thinking about breaking out my spring gloves because these get too warm at about 40 degrees.
Member since
I absolutely agree with Aaron W, these gloves are the warmest gloves I've used. They're warmer than my Burton gore-tex mittens with liners in them. I love them so much that I just purchased a second pair on whiskeymilitia for backup. The are really high quality, fit well, keep you super warm, and breathe well.
However, at around 40 degrees, they will be a bit sweaty.
Cool gloves, tight fit.
Member since
I bought the white and black ones; really cool look. White leather is on palm side, so will probably get a little dirty. I sent them back because they fit very snug but were harder for me to get on and off (my hands are wide). Once i got them on I did like their fit and feel.
Member since
Seriously, if you are between this glove and another glove buy this one. I was stunned by the quality of the Glove. It keeps me warm and completely dry, in fact, they keep me warmer and dryer than my swanys. Surprising I know. Its rare that gloves can be both fun looking and warm, which is why this is such an amazing oppurtunity. And im not one of those people who never gets cold, I am literally the coldest person ever. I have boot heaters and shit--I know, not common for the alta local. Seriously, your missing an oppurtunity. buy them.
Member since
I also forgot to mention that they are also great because of the snotguard on the thumg that traps those stray boogers instead of just smearing them arounf your face like other gloves. also you dont have to sacrifice dexterity for warmth

The Ascent of Assange
Katherine Brodsky talks with director Robert Connolly, who premiered an adapted biopic of Julian Assange at TIFF 2012.October 11th, 2012 | Katherine Brodsky
Hushed tones. Top-secret documents. Governments, pissed-off across the globe. Whether praised or demonized, few people can debate the significance of Australian-born Julian Assange, founder of the contentious WikiLeaks.
It was only a matter of time before a biopic would follow and so Robert Connolly's Underground: The Julian Assange Story made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
As it happens, one afternoon hardly a year ago, Suelette Dreyfus' book Underground: Tales of Hacking, Madness and Obsession on the Electronic Frontier made its way to Connolly. Was there a film hidden in there, he asked?
There was.
"It was an amazing world of activism two years before the Internet," recalls Connolly, after reading the book. So he proceeded to write an outline for a film and just 12 months later, the film premiered. "My last film took six years," notes Connolly, "so it's been fantastic."
When asked about the budget for the film, Connolly responds with a laugh: "Not much." Around three million dollars, to be more precise.
Budget limitations, however, do not frighten him. "I think you make a virtue of them," he explains, "We had to shoot looser and faster with young [unknown] actors and get performances that were edgier, just pushing the material hard—I feel liberated by that."
With a bigger budget, the film would have taken much longer to finance, he says. Years, perhaps. "We're the first drama about Assange and everyone's trying to make them now," says Connolly, who like Assange, is a native Aussie.
Even with funding in place, finding the right actor to capture Assange was not an easy task. Not only did he have to physically resemble the real-life hacker-activist, but he also had to be believable as someone capable of forming as significant an entity as WikiLeaks. "You need someone who has this dry intelligence in their eyes," explains Connolly.
After an intensive auditioning process, Connolly had found his 'Assange' in a young newcomer, Alex Williams. "I really put him through the paces," says Connolly, "It was lucky for me to find him." This was also a most fortunate break for Williams since he was recruited straight out of acting school (which happens to be the same one that Hugh Jackman had attended years prior).
According Connolly, he made the film as a sort of a "call to arms for young people." He'd like audiences to see how activism is a sexy, cool thing to be involved with: "You, as an individual, can make a change."
We take for granted the technology we have, he says, pointing to a smartphone next to him. "I've got more computer power here than they had to land the first man on the moon—it's staggering."
Assange's story illustrates how technology can be used to pave the path of activism and the power that we all hold in our hands as result of developments like the Internet.
"What I loved about the story [is] the shift of a generation of young people who have computers in their bedrooms. [They're] on the cusp of a revolution, really. It's an incredible change," he says.
It is perhaps worth pointing out that Assange did not exactly obey the law in his pursuit of government transparency. After all, so-called secret records are often kept sealed for a reason.
"I tried to create it in a way where an audience has to make up their own mind. Is he a criminal or isn't he? Is it terrible what he's doing or…? It's a rich, complex sort of mash of scenarios," admits Connolly.
He is also quick to point out that despite breaking the law, Assange and his collaborators obeyed a strict list of self-imposed rules: Don't steal anything, don't destroy anything, look but don't touch…
"The idea, at 17, to have keys to the kingdom—he had access to practically everything—and to not steal anything is interesting," notes Connolly, admitting that his own moral compass didn't find such refinement until his mid 20s.
Meanwhile, he believes that when a "great nation" like the United States has lost its way so significantly, then a global movement of citizen demanding transparency from their government is inevitable. "So America can do all they want to crush Wikileaks," he says, "but they are missing the point."
Underground opens in Australia October 7th. For additional release info, check IMDb.

At least two residents of Marco Island have been the targets of the latest scam that's a variation of lottery and fake check scams.
Experts say the scammers are targeting a certain age group.
"People born in the 30s, 40s and 50s were raised to be more trusting of individuals and that's the demographic of people who live in our area," said Keith Dameron of Iberia Bank.
Southwest Florida is filled with unsuspecting seniors who are perfect targets for the scam.
"It's a common practice that involves sending someone a check either by mail or now more frequently by UPS which makes it a little more official," said Dameron.
But it isn't official.
Dameron teaches courses on how to avoid scams.
In the last couple of weeks he's seen the same $50,000 United Kingdom lottery scam pop up on Marco Island.
"They endorse a very real looking check drawn on a real bank account with a real account number," said Dameron.
The scam letter asks would be victims to deposit a $3,200 check that's included in the envelope.
"Part of the instructions are to deposit the check, then wire transfer the funds to a designated individual," said Dameron.
That money is supposed to be for a non resident tax clearance fee.
But the check is fake. So when the victim sends the money to the scammer, it's actually their own money.
By then it's too late. The victim is out thousands of dollars and their dreams of being a lottery winner are over.
"If we just take a step back and realize that these things just don't happen. We'd love for them to happen," said Dameron.
Dameron says the criminals target Southwest Florida because it's a wealthy area, but the people fall for it because of the economy.
"There are so many people who have lost so much money in their retirement and savings. I truly believe there are some that just want to believe there is a possibility that this could be true," said Dameron.
But it's not true and people are warned to be extra cautious.

General Resources
NAEP Released Assessment Items with GLEs/CLEs Classifications
NAEP, the largest nationally representative assessment of what our nation's students know and can do in various subject areas, provides a common measure of student achievement across the country. The results of NAEP are released yearly as The Nation's Report Card.
Following each assessment, NAEP releases dozens of sample questions to the public – currently more than 3,000 questions are available in the NAEP Questions Tool. Because NAEP assessments are given at grades 4, 8 and 12 only, the majority of released items cluster around those grade levels.
Missouri educators classified each NAEP item by the appropriate Grade-Level Expectation (GLE) or Course-Level Expectation (CLE). Additional items are added to this pool as they are released, reviewed by Missouri educators and approved by the applicable DESE content area Director. Plans are also underway to classify each item by a corresponding Common Core State Standard (CCSS). Used in conjunction with other assessments (formative, benchmark, etc.), the NAEP assessment items offer a valuable additional resource for teachers to use in the classroom.
The released items are organized by grade level and by GLE/CLE. The released questions (once selected) provide additional information which may be useful to educators: key/ scoring guides, anchor papers (actual student papers representing various score points); national and state performance data on the item (the performance of Missouri students compared to those of other states and the nation); and the corresponding passage for reading items. The NAEP Questions Tool allows users to select questions, answers, student responses and performance summary data in two formats: HTML or Word.
The material in the NAEP Questions Tool is in the public domain (excluding any third-party copyrighted material it may contain); therefore, permission is not required to reproduce it. Please refer to the NAEP Copyright Policy for additional information regarding third-party copyrighted material and acknowledgment guidance.

Take me out to the ballgame in Rosemont? The mayor of the suburb is trying to lure the Cubs out of Wrigley Field -- and he's making quite a pitch.
The opening day for the Cubs is in two weeks, which is also the day they hope to have answer from the city about their plans to renovate Wrigley Field. If a deal is not in place by that date, the mayor of Rosemont says he's ready to play ball.
"Rosemont is built around entertainment," Rosemont Mayor Brad Stephens says. "I think adding the Cubs to an already great lineup of entertainment venues is only the icing on the cake."
Cubs owner Tom Ricketts has been frustrated by the city of Chicago and 44th Ward Alderman Tom Tunney who have yet to sign off on a $300 million renovation of 99-year-old Wrigley Field. The renovation would be financed entirely by the Cubs, but they're asking the city for more night games and more advertising inside the park to make those numbers work.
In Rosemont, Mayor Stephens says he would help the Cubs financially to build a new ballpark on a 25 acre site.
"I think we can offer a viable option that makes sense for the Cubs that puts them alongside 294 and visibility for sponsorship and signage with no restrictions on the residential population that is nowhere to be seen around here," Stephens says.
While many fans believe the Cubs would never leave their ivy-covered shrine on Chicago's North Side, sports business expert Marc Ganis says, don't be so sure.
"This is an absolutely legitimate option and in many cases you look at it and say it's actually a better option for the Cubs except for the emotional connection to Wrigley Field," Ganis says.
In a statement, a spokesman for the Ricketts said, "The family appreciates the expressions of interest from Rosemont and others, however the current focus is to work towards an agreement with the city of Chicago."
Cubs fan in Rosemont said that while a new stadium might be more convenient, it will never be Wrigleyville.
"I don't like it. I like the Cubs right where they are," one fan said.
"Rosemont is really nice, obviously what it's turning into, but I'd much rather see the Cubs where they've always been," another told our cameras.
Rosemont is not the only community making mooneyes at the Cubs. DuPage County has also expressed some interest.

Really Enjoying the Holidays with Kids
During the action-packed holiday season, kids absorb it all. Some can cope, some cannot. Most of our activities are worthy, but being an advocate for your child must be your first focus. If your child displays unusual behavior during the holidays, take it as a sign for corrective action. Try these simple, yet effective, ways to reduce stress for you and your family:
- Maintain Sleep Routines: Making up for lost sleep is a myth. During the hectic holidays, regular bedtimes and nap schedules are crucial. Kids thrive on routine, so try to keep your kids on the same bedtime hour, even on weekends. Not only do children need oodles of sleep, but adults who are well rested find that they're better parents, too. Don't be fooled, as some kids fight off tiredness by acting energetic as in the case of Andrew. This behavior can turn into a habit that is very hard to change. Naps for younger children are critical because they lower the body's adrenaline, a stress hormone. Children will mimic your mood, so a happy home often depends upon everyone getting regular, sufficient sleep.
- Decrease Stimulation: Calming a troubled child can be as simple as leaving the crowd. At home it may be turning off the TV, and lowering lights and voices. Many children respond to a warm bath or shower. Remember, constant access to high stimulation can create patterns of emotional imbalance. In parenting, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of punishment. One Missouri couple turns off the phone and nixes an event for an evening. Another says they plan off-peak hours to shop with the kids. Rather than wait for stress to take its toll, happily maneuver the holidays by reducing sources of agitation.
- Touch More: When a child is acting most unlovable, that may be the perfect time for a hug. The power of touch is truly amazing—it makes newborns gain weight and grow, it's a positive discipline technique, and it is calming for both kids and adults. Everyone needs a hug. Holding your child can ease nightmares and stomachaches, or even quiet a temper tantrum. A stuffed animal or blanket helps, too. Older children get this same benefit by squeezing dough, coloring, or rolling out cookie dough with Mom in the kitchen.
- Plan Emotional Recovery Time: Youngsters immersed in excitement might appear starved for more, and piles of holiday projects can fuel a child's contrary behavior. But correction is as easy as giving kids time to wind down. Rather than piggyback your activities, plan time to go home and recoup before going on to the next event. Being at home is familiar to kids. Familiarity helps recovery. "He seems relieved when he spends time at home with me," observed one mom. During this chaotic season, plan some lows between the highs. Although none of us like to hear from our kids "I'm bored!" it is good parenting to allow monotony in your home.
Most people enjoy this fun time of year. But innocent minds can be overwhelmed with the adult hustle bustle attached to it. Children are immature and defenseless to coping with stress. During this short season, watch and respond to calls for de-stressing. Then everyone has happy holidays. Better yet, your child feels understood and valued.

The beloved Shakespeare comedy. Fall in love again, just like Olivia. This beautiful, wise play is a rich example of Shakespeare's unparalleled ability to take audiences to the heart of what it means to be human. Using exquisite poetry, his enduring characters suffer and survive the universal rite of passage--falling in deep, helpless, turbulent love. At the end, these folks remain with us more as friends than as enactments.

"We understand that it may be some time before the universities are back in full swing," said Robert A. Altenkirch, PhD, president of NJIT and former vice president for research at Mississippi State University. "I lived and worked in Mississippi for many years and my heart goes out to the people who are suffering as a result of the devastation this storm has delivered." >>

U.S. Rep. Donald Young, of Alaska (at right) met early today with NJIT President Robert A. Altenkirch, Congressional leaders from New Jersey, and senior transportation officials to discuss renewal of a major transportation funding package that could benefit New Jersey. The legislation is known as the Federal TEA-LU transportation bill. With the U.S. Senate's recent approval of a $295 billion spending bill, the package moves to a conference committee in the U.S. House of Representatives. Young, who is chairman of the transportation committee in the House, has also been named chairman of this key committee. Following the meeting at NJIT, a special luncheon honoring Young was held in Newark. In 2003, Altenkirch was named to a Blue Ribbon Transportation Commission to benefit New Jersey. In 2004, the Commission made recommendations to federal legislators regarding transportation funding and priorities. >>

Will New Jersey's public higher education network be able to sustain the necessary workforce for the state to remain economically competitive and provide the educational opportunity and services residents have come to enjoy? Robert A. Altenkirch posed this question in an op-ed article that was published in the Star-Ledger on April 11, 2005. An investment in higher education has quantifiable impact, said Altenkirch, but unfortunately, for the state and its public institutions, higher education has not been able to position itself to be a priority, as witnessed by the steady decline in real state funding over the past decade. "We are reaching the point at which higher education must either become a state funding priority, or the cost of state universities may exceed the reach of many students and the quality of the programs will suffer, driving students to programs in other states at great cost to New Jersey's economic prospects," he said. >>

Venerated 99-year-old haredi rabbi attacked in his own home
(photo credit:Wikimedia Commons)
The most senior figure in the haredi world, Rabbi Aharon Leib Shteinman, 99, was attacked early Wednesday morning by a haredi man who broke into his home. The rabbi was only very lightly injured in the incident.The intruder, a 28-year-old Modi'in Illit resident, broke into Shteinman's apartment in Bnei Brak at around 5 am. He grabbed the rabbi by his clothes, shook him and yelled at him
before being restrained by associates of Shteinman, who were studying
with him at the time.The man was arrested by police officers called to the scene.According to the police, witnesses heard the man say he was "hearing voices" telling him to go to Shteinman's house.Haredi website Kikar Hashabat reported that witnesses claimed the
attacker said he had supported Bnei Torah, a rebel haredi political
faction, and would "take revenge."The police did not corroborate this report. But a police spokesman said that the intruder would be taken for psychiatric evaluation.A close aide of Shteinman's told The Jerusalem Post that the rabbi had been examined by a doctor at his home, and, other than a bruise on his chest,
was unharmed.Tensions have been running extremely high in
the haredi community in recent months, owing to the unprecedented political split between
the mainstream non-hassidic sector, led by Shteinman and the Degel
HaTorah party, and the Bnei Torah party led by Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach,
aged 82.Both sides had been trading insults and
rabbinical denunciations in the run-up to the local elections in Israel, which were held Tuesday. A death threat was also posted on a vehicle belonging
to Auerbach earlier this week.

Series Preview: Cubs at Milwaukee
Say hello to the first series of the season with real playoff implications. Earlier today, I laid out a few what-if scenarios in which I said the following: If the Cubs can win 3 of 4 on the road against the Brewers, then we can effectively declare Milwaukee dead in the water and a non-factor in the central.
In case you misunderstood, I was being just a tid-bit facetious there. Point of fact, I was making a mockery of Cub fans everywhere. You just know that, the self-defeatists that we are, if the Cubs sweep the Brewers we would be wiping the sweat from our brows, muttering phew, dodged a bullet. There would be relief, but it would only be temporary. We'd be waiting for the Cubs to take their next hit on the chin. You also just know that if the Brewers swept the Cubs, these same fans would be proclaiming that in late July, with the Cubs 3 games out of 1st place, the season would be over. Now, the last time I pointed out this self-defeatist attitude, an otherwise-loyal reader took me to task. Hey, I'm just asking - asking, not demanding - for some perspective here. The season doesn't end until the Cubs either clinch or are mathematically eliminated. Until then, it's just a whole lot of bang and clatter, folks. That said, let's take a look at this playoff-like atmosphere:
Monday, July 28th Ted Lilly (10-6, 4.49 ERA) vs. C.C. Sabathia (10-8, 3.30 ERA)
You know, this entire series so strongly resembles what it would be like should these teams meet in the playoffs that it makes my head spin a little. The match-ups are slightly off, though. Lilly would probably match up with Bush, and Harden would duel with Sabathia. Then again, if I'm the skipper, I might just fly in the face of conventional wisdom and match 'em up just like it is here. After all, Lilly is a good pitcher, albiet not a great one, but more to the point, Sabathia is a world breaker at this stage. I submit to you that if I'm the skipper, I basically say "alright, we'll give you Sabathia's start as a likely win for you, but we're lining things up so we're practically sure to win when Harden pitches."
In other words, you never know. The Cubs just might score 3 runs against Sabathia. Lilly and the bullpen just might hold the Brewers to 2. And if the Cubs win this match-up, then they are almost certain to win when Harden faces the worst starter in this series. Therefore, I'd trade a possible thing for a nearly certain thing, if that makes any sense.
No? Well, it makes sense to me.
Besides, as Cleveland Cub pointed out, Sabathia has done reaaaaaaaaal bad in the playoffs. If this is truly at all like a playoff series tonight, he's gonna choke.
Tuesday, July 29th Carlos Zambrano (11-4, 2.96 ERA) vs. Ben Sheets (10-3, 2.87 ERA)
Another huge match-up. Carlos would likely face Sheets in the playoffs. Both are aces, both can shut down an offense, but Sheets has the luxury of pitching at home in this series. However, Carlos is now known for rising to the occasion, and if Milwaukee beats the Cubs tomorrow night, I have a feeling that it's going to be by a combined score of 4 or fewer runs.
Wednesday, July 30th Ryan Dempster (11-4, 2.99 ERA) vs. Manny Parra (9-3, 3.72 ERA)
And here's where Milwaukee starts ever-so-slightly to come unglued. Parra has been a good pitcher, don't get me wrong. But the rookie starter doesn't match-up to the Cubs Third Ace, Ryan Dempster. While Parra is certainly a good pitcher at home, the Cubs' pitching depth really plays to their advantage in this match-up.
Thursday, July 31st Rich Harden (5-2, 2.10 ERA) vs. Dave Bush (5-8, 4.51 ERA)
And, at last, the closest we have to the "sure thing." Don't get me wrong, folks, the Brewers are a tough and scary team. They have a great shot at making the playoffs this year. However, while they have as potent a 1-2 combo of aces as any team in baseball, they fall apart toward the bottom half of their rotation, they are relying on a journeyman closer, and they otherwise have a grand total of two relievers who you can count on in a game - one a 39-year-old lefty, the other a 27-year-old rookie who entirely lacks in experience.
For all those reasons, I have to suggest that Milwaukee is a paper tiger, or a glass dragon, or whatever the hell else you'd like to call them. They're short. They're shallow. They have no depth. The Cubs are going to kill these guys.
I will grant you this, and only because I am trying to cover my bases, this series is no sure thing for the Cubs. Offensively, they've been slumping and they are now about to face three of the most dangerous pitchers that they'll see for a while. So, while anything could happen in the next four games, I have to say that for the next two months, I really like the Cubs' chances.
Manlove for Smorgasbord
Before I leave you to watch a great game, I thought I'd contribute a few thoughts to the new Cub Savior, Jeff Smardzija. This guy has only pitched in 2 games - one of which he blew a save which eventually cost the Cubs the game. He's got a reputation for walking too many hitters. He's really not done well at any level he's pitched at. And yet, we love the guy already. Why is that?
In part, it's because he's got talent. He can viciously mix speeds. He strikes guys out. He's tall. Some feel that he's underperformed in the minors due in part to boredom. He has an air about him, like he belongs at the Majors, and if he can continue to pitch as he has been, then the Cubs just might have a new set-up man to compliment Marmol - if they don't have a new #5 pitcher to replace Marquis.
Regardless, at Jason's suggestion, I have crafted the following photoshop depicting just how Lou Piniella feels about the guy. Enjoy.
Smorgasbord did alright in AAA
not mind-boggling, but alright. Its not like minor league stats always translate to the bigs anyway. See: Hill, Rich.
Also, it seems like part of the deal with the A's was that the Cubs can't win in any of Harden's starts, so I wouldn't go proclaiming a "sure thing" just yet.
Still way too early...
...like you said. Only time will tell if he's a true phenom or another Kyle Farnsworth.
Although I despise Notre Who, I hope he wears the blue pinstripes for a long time.
