Home for the Weekend
Hall of Famers, fans reflect on coming back to Cooperstown
By Bill Francis
July 22, 2010
You can sense the anticipation building in Cooperstown, the upstate New York village of some 2,000 year-round residents, as its ranks swell many times over because the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's Induction Weekend is mere hours away.
Whether you are taking a stroll down Main Street, visiting the Hall of Fame's Plaque Gallery, or grabbing a slice at a local pizzeria, the feeling is palpable that something important is about to happen. And it is, with the induction of slugger Andre Dawson, manager Whitey Herzog and umpire Doug Harvey on Sunday at 1:30 p.m.
"Hall of Fame Weekend is the highlight on the calendar for Cooperstown," said Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson. "It shines a national spotlight on not only the Hall of Fame but the entire village and surrounding community.
"For our Hall of Famers it's a great reunion for them, and for the fans it gives them accessibility to their heroes."
On the front steps of the Hall of Fame on Thursday afternoon stood Marson Ponder, a St. Louis Cardinals rooter since he turned 10 years old in 1955. He was looking forward to the induction of Herzog, a Cardinals manager from 1980 to 1990 who skippered the team to the 1982 World Series title.
"I'm a Herzog fan," Ponder said, "because of the way he managed. He was able to manipulate his team that he had at the time to play winning baseball."
Outside of a Main Street shop posing for photographs was Harmon Killebrew, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1984.
"It's absolutely wonderful to be back. Just look down this street at these people that are here," Killebrew said. "It's such a wonderful place is makes you smile. It's like coming home. I enjoy coming every year. I just have a great feeling when I come to Cooperstown."
Being back in Cooperstown also brings Killebrew back to his own induction ceremony.
"A lot of people remember my speech because I mentioned that my mother came out on the porch one spring evening, my brother and I were tearing up the grass on the front yard, and told my father to tell the boys to stop tearing up the grass. And he said, 'We're not raising grass here, Kate, we're raising boys.'"
For Killebrew, this year's Induction Weekend will be decidedly different with the passing of Hall of Fame pitcher Robin Roberts on May 6.
"Robin was a wonderful friend who I always enjoyed being around. I learned a lot of things about some of the older players that he saw that I didn't know anything about," Killebrew said. "And I got a couple of home runs off him, and we used to talk about that all the time, too."
The lobby of the Otesaga Hotel was abuzz with preparations and the early arrival of several Hall of Famers and special guests on Thursday.
"These Induction Weekends are just awesome, especially knowing you've done your bit already. I know the tension that the new inductees must be feeling this weekend and it's nice to be that guy to reassure them that everything is going to be all right," said longtime San Diego Padres outfielder Tony Gwynn, elected to the Hall of Fame in 2007. "So it's been a lot more comforting coming back the years after. I was in the hospital last year so I didn't make it, but it's nice to get back here again.
"Being a baseball coach at San Diego State I have other responsibilities, too, but you set aside this weekend," he added. "This is very select company, and when you have an opportunity to interact with these guys it's always something you look forward to."
And every time Gwynn returns to Cooperstown it brings back memories of his own induction, in which a record crowd came out to see he and Cal Ripken Jr. receive their bronze plaques.
"The first thing I always think about is as the bus is pulling in on induction Sunday hearing the reaction of the other guys because they had never seen that many people here," Gwynn said. "As we were driving in last night that's what I was thinking about."
Also seen in the Otesaga's lobby was longtime New York Daily News sportswriter Bill Madden, this year's recipient of the J.G. Taylor Spink Award "for meritorious contributions to baseball writing."
"It's just beginning, but it's going to be really strange this weekend. I've been here so many years, since 1979 was my first induction, and all of them have been on the other side of the rostrum, so to speak," Madden said. "I'm really wondering if I'm going to lose my way when I get there on Sunday.
"As Don Zimmer used to say, 'What's a lifetime .235 hitter like me doing in this company?' Well, I almost feel the same way. Look at the Spink Award winners in the past, starting with J.G. Taylor Spink, Damon Runyon, Grantland Rice and Red Smith. Bill Madden? What's a .235 hitter doing in this group?"
Having been a frequent visitor to Cooperstown over the years, Madden began referring to this time of year with a special phrase.
"I always called it baseball's high holy day of obligation," he said. "It's the most important day of the baseball season because this is the one time that we honor the greatest figures in baseball with the highest honor that baseball can give you. And to just be part of this is just overwhelming for me."
Madden is also the author of Steinbrenner: The Last Lion of Baseball about the recently deceased owner of the New York Yankees. As part of the Hall of Fame's Author Series on Friday at 1 p.m. in the Bullpen Theater, he will talk about and sign copies of his new work.
"The Steinbrenner book was the labor of my life," Madden said. "It took three years to do it plus the 35 years I spent covering the guy. It has been an incredible last six months. I often wonder if my dad is up there looking over me because I have the Hall of Fame and now a best selling book. This confluence of events has just been incredible."
So how is the writer's speech coming?
"All I can say about it is I tried not to make it too much about me," Madden said. "I wanted to really make it more about my profession and the reason why we have the Spink Award and the reason why it's important to baseball and important to the Hall of Fame."

This Day in Baseball History
On September 20, 1961, Roger Maris clubs his 59th home run in the 155th game of the season. Commissioner Ford Frick had previously ruled that Maris needed to hit his 61st home run by this game to officially break Babe Ruth's single season record...


text:
There is legislation close to passing the Georgia legislature (it may already be passed by the time this is published) that prohibits "the state nor any department, agency, bureau, authority, office, or other unit of the state nor any political subdivision of the state shall expend or use moneys, human resources, or assets of the State of Georgia to advocate or intended to influence the citizens of this state in support of the voluntary expansion by the state of eligibility for medical assistance under" Medicaid. Its not clear what this legislation actually does, (its not clear it's authors know what it does), but it could limit the state's ability to actually run the existing Medicaid program, and perhaps it could prohibit public university professors from answering simple questions about the Affordable Care Act. Is it "advocating or influencing citizens" to report simple facts?
The simple fact is that expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act makes every Georgia taxpayer better off. Costs to every group in the state are higher without Medicaid expansion. In Georgia the cost of care for the uninsured is well over $2 billion dollars annually. That care is more expensive places and often given at the most expensive time (late in an episode of illness). Expanding access to insurance coverage changes the financial burden of the uninsured, the access to care for all, and the health and productivity of Georgians. If the state chooses not to expand Medicaid more than 1.6 million Georgians will lack health insurance coverage in 2014. Georgia taxpayers will continue to bear the costs of care for Georgia's uninsured while their Federal tax dollars will help reduce those costs for taxpayers in states that are expanding their Medicaid programs.
The Federal government pays the vast majority of the costs of expanding Medicaid in 2014, 2015, and 2016. It pays 100 percent of the costs of care while the state's share for those three years is increased administrative expenses. After that the states share would gradually rise to 10 percent of the costs by 2021. The Federal government would then continue to pay 90 percent of the costs forever.
The Federal money that Medicaid expansion would draw into a state would generate new economic activity, increase employment, create income and increase state and local tax revenue. Estimates of job creation to do Medicaid expansion in the southeast include 12,000 in Alabama, 44,000 in South Carolina, 50,000 in North Carolina and 70,000 in Georgia. These states see a net gain in employment and economic activity because they have a high number of uninsured who could gain coverage under Medicaid expansion. If these states opt out of Medicaid expansion they give up that income and the tax revenue generated by it.
Failure to expand Medicaid puts employers in the state at greater risk. Not only will they have a less healthy, less productive workforce, they are more likely to face a tax penalty if they do not offer affordable health insurance to their employees. Under ACA starting in 2015 employers who have workers who are eligible for a subsidy in the exchange pay a "shared responsibility" tax. Without Medicaid expansion there are more workers who would be eligible. Jackson Hewitt estimates that those costs to employers could range from $71 million to over $107 million in Georgia
For Georgia the argument that the state government just can't afford it is difficult to reconcile with both the increase in state revenue and the savings to a whole host of state programs resulting from Medicaid expansion. Medicaid expansion would replace behavior health costs paid by the state, decrease criminal justice costs, decrease public health costs, and increase direct revenue from assessments on health care providers.
Expanding Medicaid would also increase access to care for all Georgians. Many parts of Georgia have been identified as Medical workforce shortage areas. Those mostly rural areas lack the resources necessary to attract and retain physicians and other health care providers. Medicaid expansion increases the resources available for those areas.
It has been argued that the Medicaid program is broken and there is no sense putting more money into a broken program. There are numerous ways the Medicaid program could be made better including changing reimbursement mechanisms and levels, measuring and rewarding the quality of care, and incentivizing healthy behaviors. All of these elements are under control of the state. Its not clear why Georgia can't use the resources that Medicaid expansion would give them to address any flaws in the Medicaid program.
The argument has been made that Medicaid would be a better system if the Federal government would change the financing to block grants. Under the current (and expanded) Medicaid program the Federal government matches state expenditures. The block grant recommendation is made as a way to address perceived Federal deficits issues. It only works if less money is sent to the states. If states are feeling the pinch of Medicaid expenditures under the current system its difficult to understand how they would be better off with less money.
The whole health care delivery system is a broken system. That of course is underlying rationale for the Affordable Care Act. Health care cost inflation cannot be slowed by simply decreasing eligibility to public programs or reducing provider payments. The incentives in the health care market must be altered to give providers, consumers, and payers incentives to improve health cost-effectively.
Given the importance of Medicaid expansion as a piece in the puzzle of developing a sustainable health care system it seems unlikely that some future Congress would defund the program. Future Congresses will be made up of Senators and Representatives from the states who expanded Medicaid.
It is ironic that many of the same voices calling for the Federal Government to block grant the Medicaid program also voice this concern about Medicaid expansion. A block grant by design would shift more of the costs to the state.
The politics of its enactment aside, decades of analysis, experimentation and debate generated a consensus around the policies that underlie the Affordable Care Act. Any health reform that preserves the private sector role in health care delivery would resemble the Affordable Care Act. Medicaid expansion's role in that reform is to provide a seamless path from public to private coverage as family incomes grow.
But I ain't advocating (with sincere apologies to Fats Waller)
(Mutter to the tune of Ain't Misbehaving)
No one to talk with
all by myself
No one to talk with,
but the facts are on the shelf
Ain't advocating',
I'm just stating the facts
If we don't expand Medicaid
Fewer hospitals get paid
Ain't advocating',
I'm just stating the facts
Up to 70,000 jobs won't be there
More folks without access to care
And not just low income, all will pay the tax
Still our taxes go elsewhere
To Georgia taxpayers its just not fair.
Ain't advocating',
I'm just stating the facts

Girls' Soccer Coach Goes Too Far
Why are some coaches so consumed with winning?
Momlogic's Julie: This week, the coach of a soccer team for 6- and 7-year-old girls resigned after receiving criticism for a season-opening e-mail sent to parents.
Michael Kinahan had sent an e-mail in which he said "losing is for losers" and encouraged parents to feed their daughters "undercooked red meat."
Kinahan, who dubbed his team "Green Death," said the e-mail was meant to give parents a "chuckle."
This hit home for me. When my son was in kindergarten, he was on a little league baseball team that was led by a fiercely competitive coach. This is a guy who would go to other teams' games and "take notes on the players" so he'd have "ammunition" when we faced that particular team. No, I am not kidding.
I have seen two coaches almost come to blows after a "bad call." And these are 4- and 5-year-old players they're coaching!
The whole experience seriously soured me on team sports for a year or two. This year, we let my son play baseball again -- but in a different league that's more focused on fun than the final score.
Why are some coaches so crazy about winning?
The only thing worse than coaches without perspective is parents.
Removing your child for a couple of years because of one bad man is a bigger problem.
Your comparison to this coach and your son's coach are unfair. Reread the letter that he wrote as it is obviously tongue-n-cheek. What is wrong with the world today? No sense of humor? This isn't the first time he has sent out an email. In fact he sends them out throughout the year. It is a way to give the parents a good laugh and to keep them excited about the soccer year. Why post anything without stating all the facts?
Are you really this stupid? How can you possibly read that email and see it as anything other than comic genius? It wasn't meant in seriousness at all! Get a sense of humor. Damn.

There is a short letter to the editor in the Orlando Sentinel in which a Florida resident was devastated and shocked by the verdict. She wrote: "…the jurors were offered two paths to follow in coming to their decision regarding …guilt or innocence…the well-traveled path of racism and vengeance. It is a clear path, because many people, both black and white, have traveled it before…., the more difficult path leading to justice and equality for all… hasn't been traveled often, and it is precarious and exhausting to follow. Perhaps the jurors were just too tired to choose that path…I had hoped that these jurors, with all the world watching, would courageously make the tougher choice. I am so disappointed. Yet, something inside me says, Maybe next time."
The letter writer was not referring to the Zimmerman case. The letter appeared in the newspaper on October 6, 1995, a couple of days after a predominantly black jury found OJ Simpson not guilty. Over the past week, I could not escape thoughts of the OJ Simpson trial when thinking of Zimmerman. There is a chilling dissimilarity in looking at the media coverage of the responses to both verdicts.
Many of the white voices of horror and outrage over the Simpson verdict also contained "shock" and "surprise" over the verdict in the Simpson case. In looking at the many of the responses of those angry over the Zimmerman outcome, there is a numbing outrage, but not a lot of surprise. This was expressed in one of the most sobering and chilling comments I have heard in the Trayvon Martin discourse. It comes from Charles Cherry, Publisher of The Florida Courier, which covers the state and extensively covered the trial. "Disappointment..but not much of a surprise. ..The interesting thing is that the Sanford black community never believed, and was never optimistic that Zimmerman was going to be convicted anyway. In that city, by and large, they did not believe that Zimmerman could be convicted in Sanford…People here are not shocked. I think they are very disappointed because it became a reality that Zimmerman was going to walk away a free man,… The conversation that Anderson Cooper had with Juror B-37, does not make it any easier, and it doesn't improve the credibility that black people should have or are expected to have in the judicial system. When you listen to the dismissive nature, and the intimacy with which she called George Zimmerman "George," and when asked about whether she felt sorry for Trayvon, who is dead, she said she felt sorry for both of them, and so on and so forth…"
Not just in Sanford: "Numbing but not surprising" characterizes the reaction across the nation among those disappointed with the verdict. Think about it for one minute: An injustice at the center of a such a mountain of outrage is not surprising. It is numbing but expected.
In looking at the coverage in Bush-Obama counties, it is comforting to see the racial and ethnic diversity in the outrage over the outcome. There is also something else that is not comforting but so frightening: an expectation by Zimmerman sympathizers of massive black rioting and violence against whites in the wake of the verdict. Please. That expectation of rioting, (which did not significantly materialize) is so compatible to the very sick mindset that saw Trayvon Martin as a dangerous threat in the first place, rather than what he was: a teenage boy.
Then there is President Obama. He too is not surprised yet holds a strongly optimistic view on race relations which is tempered with a sense of realism and rationalism a la his impromptu comments today. "And let me just leave you with a final thought that, as difficult and challenging as this whole episode has been for a lot of people, I don't want us to lose sight that things are getting better. Each successive generation seems to be making progress in changing attitudes when it comes to race. It doesn't mean we're in a post-racial society. It doesn't mean that racism is eliminated. But when I talk to Malia and Sasha, and I listen to their friends and I seem them interact, they're better than we are — they're better than we were — on these issues. And that's true in every community that I've visited all across the country."
The strong clues to his pragmatic optimism on race are rooted firmly in his grandparents' acceptance of his father tempered by an understanding of the limitations in the roots of their racial progressiveness. In his memoir, Dreams From My Father, he writes:
"Miscegenation. The word is humpbacked, ugly, portending a monstrous outcome: like antebellum or octoroon, it evokes images of another era, a distant world or horsewhips and flames, dead magnolias and crumbling porticos. And yet it wasn't until 1967–the year I celebrated my sixth birthday and Jimi Hendrix performed at Monterey, three years after Dr. King received the Nobel Peace Prize, a time when America had already begun to weary of black demands for equality, the problem of discrimination presumably solved–that the Supreme Court of the United States would get around to telling the state of Virginia that its ban on interracial marriages violated the Constitution. In 1960, the year that my parents were married, miscegenation still described a felony in over half the states in the Union. In many parts of the South, my father could have been strung up from a tree for merely looking at my mother the wrong way; in the most sophisticated of northern cities, the hostile stares, the whispers, might have driven a woman in my mother's predicament into a back-alley abortion–or at the very least to a distant convent that could arrange for adoption. Their very image together would have been considered lurid and perverse, a handy retort to the handful of softheaded liberals who supported a civil rights agenda.
"Sure–but would you let your daughter marry one?
"The fact that my grandparents had answered yes to this question, no matter how grudgingly, remains an enduring puzzle to me. There was nothing in their background to predict such a response, no New England transcendentalists or wild-eyed socialists in their family tree…
"…Theirs were the faces of American Gothic, the WASP bloodline's poorer cousins, and in their eyes one could see truths that I would have to learn later as facts: that Kansas had entered the Union free only after a violent precursor to the Civil War, the battle in which John Brown's sword tasted first blood; that while one of my great-great-grandfathers, Christopher Columbus, Clark, had been a decorated Union soldier, his wife's mother was rumored to have been a second cousin of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy; that although another distant ancestor had indeed been a full-blooded Cherokee, such lineage was source of considerable shame to Toot's mother, who blanched whenever someone mentioned the subject and hoped to carry the secret to her grave."
Perhaps his lineage helps to explain why he has faith in the cliche– "Let's have a conversation about race." As he said today, "I haven't seen that be particularly productive when politicians try to organize conversations. They end up being stilted and politicized, and folks are locked into the positions they already have. On the other hand, in families and churches and workplaces, there's the possibility that people are a little bit more honest, and at least you ask yourself your own questions about, am I wringing as much bias out of myself as I can? Am I judging people as much as I can, based on not the color of their skin, but the content of their character? That would, I think, be an appropriate exercise in the wake of this tragedy."

The cast might not know it, but new 'Arrested Development' episodes will premiere next year
Fans long awaiting new episodes of "Arrested Development" will soon get their fix — and all at once.
While onstage at the National Association of Broadcasters convention on Tuesday, Netflix chief Ted Sarandos announced that all 10 episodes of the fourth season of "Arrested Development" will premiere together, on one day, sometime next year on the streaming website, reports Vulture.
The announcement may be news to "Arrested" star Tony Hale, who plays dysfunctional youngest son Buster Bluth. While promoting his new political satire "Veep" in an interview on Monday, Hale told us he prefers to be blissfully unaware of details regarding the series' return.
"The bummer is you probably know more than I do," Hale said when asked for any news on the sitcom's revival, but then added, "what I do know is [production] is definitely happening this summer."
Hale said the writers are almost finished penning scripts, but that he is deliberately staying out of the loop when it comes to potential storylines.
"Here's the thing: I really don't want to hear the plotlines because the whole fun of the show was the element of surprise, where we would be doing the show and then all of a sudden we'd read a script and I'd be like, 'OK, well, in this episode my hand's coming off," he says, referring to Buster's infamous incident with a biting seal. "I love that surprise, so I kind of don't want any information. I just want to be completely surprised as to what Mitch [Hurwitz, 'Arrested' creator] has come up with."
As for that rumored "Arrested" movie, "I don't know that much information but I think like anything you take it project by project," Hale says. "I think we're all just kind of focusing on the episodes right now, and if the movie happens, it happens, that's fantastic. But I'm excited about the episodes. Everybody in the cast is just so fun; I can't wait to, like, not be able to hold it together because I'm laughing so hard."
But returning to full-time Buster mode requires just as much work as play.
"Buster has, you know, very interesting shoes to step into," Hale says, "so I've gotta kind of get back into that mindset. It's weird. The show finished six years ago and I actually haven't — I think I've seen two episodes since it stopped. So my wife and I are kind of going to do a marathon viewing before we start shooting just so I can get back into that mindset."

To be noticed, but not interrupted. It's comforting to be seen in our grief, there is a confirmation in it — however awkward it makes us feel. Is that part of why we live here? New Yorkers do tend to be the kind of people with both a need to be seen, and a deep fear of it. Somehow, this place satisfies both.
When I first moved here, I loved to ride the elevated trains, especially at night, when I could glimpse the thousands of glowing windows, each an indication of a life or a cluster of lives, as rich and difficult and sweet as my own. Glimpsing inside, seeing the moment when the lights go on — or off — is a confirmation of our likenesses, our common depths.

COMSTOCK TOWNSHIP (WKZO) -- The Comstock Zoning Board of appeals agreed that the sediment processing that Enbridge wants to do at their Industrial park is not Light Manufacturing, but on a 3 to 2 vote, they decided it's similar enough to possibly qualify for a special use permit.
That returns the issue to the Planning Commission, which meets Thursday night.
It will be up to that panel to determine if it's similar enough to issue the permit.
Larry Bell's brewery is located right next door and he says he will be anxious to see what the Township Planners decide on Thursday.
The only person who spoke at the public hearing in favor of the idea of processing contaminated wastes at the site was the Attorney for Enbridge.

Got stuck in the hidden Street map, sent a billion tickets, was told it was a client issue but I kept yelling at GMs that it was no client issue. Finally they came to my rescue :D
Back in March of this year, I have encountered a streaker. Sadly, that's my boyfriend. xD Wow I look so noob too.

First-year Georgia basketball coach Mark Fox received his first verbal commitment for the 2009-10 recruiting class on Thursday.
Cady Lalanne, a 6-foot-8, 225-pound forward from Orlando, gave the Bulldogs the news Thursday morning.
"I'd been thinking about it for a while so I was ready to do it," said Lalanne, who visited the UGA campus Sept. 12-13. "I met Coach Fox this summer and he called me on the first day [of the contact period]. I looked at Coach Fox's background and saw he had a good history of developing big guys like me. It's a great school and it's close to home so I didn't see any reason to wait."
Lalanne is considered a three-star recruit and is ranked No. 142 on the Rivals150. He said he chose the Bulldogs over Ole Miss, VCU and UMass. He will sign a scholarship with the Bulldogs on the first day of the early signing period, which is Nov. 11.
Derek Heard, Lalanne's coach at Oak Ridge High and for the Florida Rams AAU team, said Lalanne is a classic late bloomer.
"He was a pretty good high school player last year," Heard said. "But he played against better competition in AAU this summer and, as the competition got better, he got better and better every week."
Lalanne averaged 17 points, 14 rebounds and three blocked shots as a junior for Oak Ridge last season and was named All-Orlando. Heard said he has a 7-foot-2 wingspan and is an athletic and active rebounder.
Dave Telep, national recruiting director for Scout.com, said the Bulldogs are getting a diamond in the rough.
"He's one of those guys the more you watch him the more you like him," Telep said. "He really came on this last spring. He does a couple of things well. He can run, he has a live body and he can really jump. Every time I see him he seems like he's an inch taller. He's an SEC-caliber player for sure."
Georgia could sign as many as three players before next season. The Bulldogs are also after 6-foot-5 win Jelan Kendrick of Marietta and 6-foot-9 center Shawn Kemp Jr. of Canton. The early signing period for basketball begins Nov.

1:51 pm
What positions are the most pressing to recruit?
October 29th, 2009
2:05 pm
Yeah, I would like to see an update on the entire roster, what are our needs,what is the teams strong side ?
October 29th, 2009
2:18 pm
I would really like a breakdown of this too. I know Trey Thompkins is still around and will continue to get better. Travis Leslie, Jeremy Price and Dustin Ware show potential. Unfortunately we still have Albert Jackson at Center, who continues to not be able to do anything but stand around and foul.
I really hope Fox can turn this program around. UGA needs a great BBall program.
October 29th, 2009
2:23 pm
Mannn this guy is at the bottom of the bunch….. IDK about this what about the in state players we went out of state to get this….
October 29th, 2009
2:26 pm
We also need a football program.
October 29th, 2009
2:32 pm
Congrats Dawgs, hope he plays well for you in all but one of your games.
October 29th, 2009
2:33 pm
Give him time. Please don't expect him to start pulling in 5 Star guys right away. I love UGA but our fans expect too freaking much.
October 29th, 2009
2:44 pm
This is a real good recruit. Fox will do really well given what he has to work with. What he has to work with is a SEC school that does not matter in basketball. His job is to get UGA basketball to matter in college basketball circles. Until that happens he will not get the players UK, NC, UConn & Kan get. I really believe Fox can get it done.
October 29th, 2009
3:15 pm
As a GT fan let me give ya'll some encouraging advice that is gained from experience…since he is listed as only a 3 star recruit, that usually translates to a good player that will stay at school for 3-4 years. 5 star recruits these days are 1 and done and it sucks..ie. Derrick Favors for us this year, Thaddeus Young, Javaris Crittenton, Chris Bosh, Stephon Marbury and so on.
October 29th, 2009
3:33 pm
Shawn Kemp has turned into a beast. He would be a nice pickup
October 29th, 2009
3:35 pm
Hopefully Coach Fox won't kick our leading scorers off the team like Felton did…..Felton was horrible….
October 29th, 2009
3:49 pm
bob horner… Felton had no choice but to get rid of those players. Trouble is trouble no matter how many points you can score.
October 29th, 2009
3:53 pm
((((( 67 62 ))))) hahahahahahahahaha
October 29th, 2009
4:00 pm
I love the Dawgs but over the years, poor play year after year has caused me to adjust my goals to the following:
1-to at least split 4 specific games..The three against the other SEC bottom feeders (Aub and SC), plus Tech..after that any win is gravy.
2-if we are gonna suck, at least lose in the SEC Tourney early so I wont be distracted from spring practice.
With Coach Fox things are gonna be different, I can just feel it..heck, we might beat SC twice this yr, or beat Tennessee for once. Maybe.
October 29th, 2009
4:11 pm
How many kids does Shawn Kemp, Jr. have by now???
October 29th, 2009
5:02 pm
ESPN said that had Kentucky not hired Calipari, who in turn recruited some great players, that the SEC would have been in jeopardy of losing its automatic NCAA BB invitation.
October 29th, 2009
5:14 pm
CatsFly…so, the SEC would not have an automatic bid….but the Big Sky conference would? The Ivy Leauge would? Southern confernece? I would like the link to that article.
October 29th, 2009
5:41 pm
Is this kid related to Jack LaLane?
October 29th, 2009
6:49 pm
Hold up Bryan G., did you just put the Southern Conference in the same category as the Big Sky and the Ivy League? I am not saying the Southern Conference is a stellar one, but I am pretty sure if you have watched any college basketball in the past few years you would know Davidson is in the Southern Conference, who made a run to the Elite Eight a couple years ago…
October 29th, 2009
8:00 pm
Good deal!
October 29th, 2009
8:33 pm
Fox is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if this dude is even ranked in the espn 150 give him some credit. think about how many schools there are how many teams and players. there are thousands of Seniors playing basketball and if hes in the top 150 id be happy.
October 30th, 2009
6:15 am
Fox WILL turn UGA hoops around. The question will be can we keep him around.
October 30th, 2009
8:13 am
…thanks for the kudos – however, unfortunately, that run to the Elite 8 was an aberation. Sure, Davidson does get to the "dance' every couple of years (they could not follow up the 2008 run in 2009 and missed the "dance" since they did not win the conference tourney – in spite of a 20+ win season and having the best record going into the conf. tourney), but the overall strength of the conference is not really all that much.
October 30th, 2009
9:30 am
I can tell you as an Ole Miss fan that we really wanted this kid. good pick up for UGA.
October 30th, 2009
10:38 am
@JLC Thanks for the good advice. GT has a good basketball program and we would be smart to listen. Clearly that is the way that 5-star recruits think and really who can blame them these days.

It must have been the ga. tradition along with the basketball facilities that lured him away from Ole Miss and the other contenders.

The Community Ban List (CBL) plans host an unspecified event in April, according to an anonymous insider. No additional information is known. CBL's most recent event, Edwardo's Revenge, proved a community favorite. The multi-tiered tournament provided three lucky players with fabulous prizes: the first place winner, for example, received a Kindle Fire, a Combat Arms hoodie, and 50,000 NX. The complete details of the Edwardo's Revenge event may be viewed here. It is unknown if the April event will at all resemble Edwardo's Revenge, but it may be safely assumed that the event will be well worth attending.
The CBL provides Combat Arms players in North America with a resource for reporting cheating players. CBL's database of "dirty" players is widely used to prevent cheating players from joining clans or game rooms. Their website may be viewed here: http://www.thecbl.net.

Nutritional Healing: The Movement
Dear Friends – After teaching, consulting and writing for the last 3 decades, I'm honored to introduce to you a wonderful, life-changing educational opportunity with a new online health coach training. The Institute for the Psychology of Eating is at the forefront of a powerful, new, holistic nutritional healing movement that's changing the way we understand food, weight, body image, holistic nutrition, and health. Our students come from all walks of life and many countries with this one common goal – to learn a better way to heal our relationship with food, body, planet, and soul.
For far too long, people have struggled without real answers to these profoundly important questions:
- How can I lose weight in a sustainable and loving way?
- How can I stop punishing my body with food and learn to nourish it and feel free?
- How can I know which foods are right for me to eat amidst all the conflicting nutritional viewpoints put forth by the experts?
As I look around at all the chaos and confusion in the field of nutrition, I see that we're at a profound crossroad. Medical science has finally recognized the important role of diet in optimal health, yet something is clearly missing. Obesity, overeating, pain around body image, emotional challenges with food, digestive ailments, fatigue and diet-related health concerns are with us more than ever. People have access to all kinds of nutrition information, but need to search long and hard for true healing wisdom.
Perhaps you're aware of some of these eye-opening statistics:
- 9 out of 10 women are unhappy with their weight, shape, or looks
- 8 out of 10 women are on a diet
- 40% of 9-year-old females have been on a diet
- Over 98% of people who lose weight by dieting gain it back within a year
- Over 65% of people complain of digestive issues
- Over 50% of people complain of constant fatigue
Clearly, our collective approach to nutritional health and happiness isn't working.
It's time for a fresh start, and new way of seeing things.
IPE is at the forefront of a new movement that's re-uniting the psychology of eating with the science of nutrition. We understand the powerful and intimate connection between women and food. We acknowledge the need for a holistic approach to weight and its loss. We've originated two important new approaches – Dynamic Eating Psychology™ and Mind Body Nutrition™. We believe it's time for an understanding that celebrates life, and honors all of who we are as eaters – body, mind, heart and soul.
Thank you for your interest in the Institute. I'm proud of what we do, and honored to see our graduates doing inspired work in the world. Please learn as much about us as you can. And I hope to meet you in one of our programs…
My warmest regards,
Marc David

Falcons' Rally Falls Short As Watson Leads Spartans To Victory
Posted: 11/22/2011
Box Score l More Men's Basketball news
Grantham, PA — After falling behind by as many as 20 points in the second half, the Messiah men's basketball team staged a furious rally to pull to within four points on Tuesday, ultimately falling short of the dramatic comeback in a 72-59 loss to York College.
A short jumpshot from the left baseline by junior Derek Mosley cut the Falcons' deficit to 59-55 with just under five minutes to play. With the crowd on it's feet and chants of "defense" echoing off the Brubaker walls, York junior point guard Julian Watson nailed a back-breaking three-pointer from the left wing to give the Spartans a seven point lead. The shot, contested by sophomore guard Christyan DeVan, was not only Watson's first made shot from beyond the arc this season-- it was his first attempt.
"We didn't come into this game saying 'lay off of him, he can't shoot the three'," said Messiah head coach Rick Van Pelt. "But we knew he didn't look to get his shot up from (three-point range). The one he chose to take ended up being a big one."
Watson, York's leading scorer thus far in 2011-12, scored his average- 15 points- as he tied teammates Todd Maciejewski and Andrew Pawlyk for the team high. The three Spartans combined for their 45 points on 18-32 shooting.
The win for York in Grantham was it's first in as long as the York archives detail, which is back to 1997.
"York is a good team- they always are," said Van Pelt. "We put ourselves in an early hole and couldn't get out it."
Van Pelt's evaluation was dead-on. After taking an initial 2-0 lead, the Falcons' gave up 11 straight points to fall behind by nine. The Falcons next bucket wouldn't come until 13:33 on the clock in the first half, with York pulling ahead 18-4 at the ten minute mark.
Messiah would respond, drawing to within 28-19 off three-pointers by Mosley (2) and sophomore Brad Bolen. A three-pointer by Pawlyk put the Spartans up 33-19 as the teams went into the half.
In the second half the Spartans would race out to their 20 point lead thanks, mostly, to their transition offense. Their 8-2 run at the beginning of the period included three layups in the paint- two by Pawlyk and one by Maciejewski.
From that point on, Messiah would begin to chip away. The run started with two transition three-pointers by Bolen and a runner in the paint by sophomore David Fernandez.
After a couple of York baskets, the Falcons would again score eight points- this time on two three-pointers by Mosley and another runner in the paint by Fernandez.
"We started to get going in transition, which has been good for us so far this season," said Van Pelt, reflecting on his team's efforts to close their deficit to York. "Guys stepped up and made some big shots to get us back in it."
Though starting to trade baskets with York, Bolen, Fernandez, and Mosley would combine for another seven points as the Falcons pulled to within 53-44 with 9:25 remaining in the game. Fernandez, who scored a game-high 20 points, would continue to lead the Falcons' charge, scoring two buckets in the paint around a pair of free throws by Mosley to make it an eight point game (57-49) with 7:38 to play.
Maciejewski would score another bucket in the paint-- a challenge for the Falcons all night, to give his team a ten point lead once more.
From there, the Falcons get as close as they would in the second half, with senior Trey Ritzman (fastbreak layup), Fernandez (two free throws) and Mosley (baseline jumper) pushing the Falcons on a 6-0 run in a span on 1:43.
Including Watson's three-pointer, the Spartans close the game on a 13-4 run for the victory.
"It would have great for us to complete the comeback, but we paid for our early mistakes," said Van Pelt, whose team falls to 2-2 on the young season. "You can't get behind like we did to any time, let alone a good team, and feel bad for yourself after losing. We showed (during the second half run) that we can be better than we were at the beginning of this game."
On the night, Messiah shot just 37% percent from the field, falling prey to early shooting woes (7-32, 22% in the first half). The team shot 8-26 from three-point range for the game, with their second half shooting from downtown (5-11) contributing to their rally. Joining Fernandez in double-digit scoring were Mosley and Bolen with 18 and 11 points, respectively. Mosley shot 6-11 from the field, including 5-10 from downtown, while Bolen knocked in three of his four attempts from beyond the arc.
York moves to 3-1 on the season, with their only loss coming at the hands of #24 Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
The Falcons next play on Wednesday, November 30, when they travel to Lebanon Valley College to kick-start their Commonwealth Conference play for 2011-12. Game time is set for 8:00 p.m.

Mate of the Werewolf {1} Crimson WolfOriginal Werewolves Romance Story! But know this, this story isn't what it seems upon first glance. Those who bothered to read in-depth will immediately know what I mean. Looking at the tags will definitely help give everything away. While everyone else, well, they'll think Camellia is utterly amazing!!!11 Please make all messages readable and coherent. Thanks so much, buh bye.
Camellia, or Cammie as she was known to a small and selective group of friends, felt a sense of pride wash over her as she prowled with a great sense of boredom through her territory. Although it had been relatively dull growing up in a small country town like Blue Bells, but this was her land nonetheless. Still, it was as dull as heck.
With her long red hair, like the colour of a fiery setting sun and eyes as sharp as the coolest of ice, her skin a succulent brown, natural of course, she was the most beautiful and sought after woman in the entire town. Her figure was that of a busty super model and she didn't have to do a thing to keep herself looking this gorgeous. It was natural, all the way.
Men of all ages, young, old, married, divorced or single worshipped the ground she walked on. She had them all wrapped around her little finger and she could do whatever she wanted and could do whatever she wanted. She was feisty, flirty and naughty; absolutely ruthless when she wanted something.
And she would always get what she wanted.
The women of this town, however, hated her with a most ironic passion. They detested her, loathed her, and yet could not deny how utterly mesmerising and alluring she was in all aspects of her personality, image and life. She was the pinnacle of perfection.
And the fact that she was a werewolf only added to her Goddess like supreme beauty. She could turn into a blood red wolf whenever she wanted. Of course, the only drawback was when she changed back into her human form, she was completely naked, her clothes literally ripped off of her slender and supple body whenever she transformed. It was only a minor hindrance, though. With her legs that went on for miles, her perfect skin, her flawless figure, her large and perky bust, she had nothing to be ashamed off.
Because of her luscious red hair, hair that no one had ever seen before, she had been given the name the Crimson Wolf by the locals.
She and her twin brother were the only werewolves in this town, she being the oldest twin and the strongest; she was the true owner of this land.
Her brother, Ethan, was truly pathetic. It was completely and utterly embarrassing to even admit that they were even related. She did everything she could to avoid him, but as he was the weakest, she just had to protect him. She didn't have to like it though. For as long as she could remember, she and her brother had always been at odds. He simply could not get over the fact that she was the strongest of the family and didn't like to come second to a girl.
While Camellia's wolf form was a true essence of beauty, Ethan's was something she considered to be incredibly dull. Honestly, his fur was as white as snow and his eyes a gentle chocolate brown. He wasn't threatening at all. And to make him even less worthy of being called a werewolf and her brother, he preferred not to engage in battles, instead he decided to become a gentle and caring vet, off all things.
If he could, Ethan would prefer to have their territory open to any wandering wolf, allowing them refuge. He was such a dreamer. Honestly, did he really think a werewolf worthy his weight would even consider coming to him for help in healing their wounds?
No wolf would get pass her, not with her keen senses that was matched by none.
Which was why she was stalking her town darkened streets; there was a new wolf in town and he was following her.

Have been here once but tried to go a second. First time it was dead, me and my friends were nearly the only people here. Would not have minded but I paid to get in. Left after one drink.
Second time there was a que, so I waited then when I got to the front was told "not today" asked him why he wouldnt let me in he just repeated "not today"
I would have called it racist if I was of an ethnic race but will blame it on the fact that I look very young for my age and the bouncer couldn't be bothered looking at my ID to check that its real. So if theres something as youngist or smallist then thats what Pearl Lounge is.
Worst night of my life in Aberdeen!
I was just 18 and was told Pearl was the place to be........ they couldn't have been more wrong!
You have to wait half an hour to get served at the bar and when you do it costs you an arm and a leg!
I have been back once after that and it hasn't changed, if its possible its worse!
You spend more time waiting at the bar than on the dance floor!
I hated this place! Not what it said on the tin... i when with high expectations as a mate said it was good! but NO... its bad! The floor is really sticky and there is never enough staff on the bar so you have to wait ages to get served! The bar staff were really bad when i got my drink too... I am diabetic and asked for diet coke... and got served coke! this is wat killed it for me! I have not been back since!

Google chows down on 3D-printed pasta
Summary: A chef who works at Google's HQ in Mountain View has said he likes to use a 3D printer to create pasta for the search company's hungry employees.
Google's staff benefits are renowned in the IT industry, and along with the scooters, free time for personal projects, slides and game machines, the search giant's employees have been enjoying something else — 3D-printed pasta.
Bernard Faucher, an administrator and exhibition chef at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California, says that along with the high-tech VitaMix blenders and water circulators he uses, he likes to play around with 3D printers so he can "really get creative" with the food he serves Google employees.
3D printers make it possible to 'print' 3D objects by successively layering drops of liquid, which harden. The technology is versatile and potential 'inks' can range from plastics to sugars and, in this case, pasta.
In an interview posted by Dance New England, where Faucher also works, the chef notes that he uses a 3D printer at Google to print pasta so "my food has a very distinct and customisable shape." Watch from 2:30 minutes into the video below to hear more.
At the time of writing, Google had not responded to a ZDNet request for more information on the technology. Or on its menu.
