Lately her focus has been more on cookbooks than on music. But what was it that made Trisha a star in the first place? It was neither her stuffed pork chops, nor her breakfast sausage casserole. Rather, it was powerful and nuanced singing voice coupled with a good ear for worthy songs. Trisha Yearwood is easily one of the most outstandingly talented and consistently excellent vocalists contemporary country music has ever seen. She was able to wow the critics and appease country radio while never disappointing her fans with substandard material.
This Georgia native originally moved to Nashville to get an education at Belmont University, but she soon found work as a demo singer. She became friends with Garth Brooks as he was attempting to break through in country music, and she became his backup singer when he secured a deal with Capitol Records. With the help of producer Garth Fundis, Trisha was able to score a record deal with MCA – Nashville's top label.
Trisha's 1991 debut single, an effortlessly charming ode to young love in a small town, became an instant success. With "She's In Love with the Boy," Trisha became only the second female in country music history to take her debut single to number one – 27 years after Connie Smith became the first in 1964 with "Once a Day."
Propelled by the runaway success of her first single, along with three subsequent Top 10 hits, Trisha's self-titled debut album reached double-platinum status, becoming the highest-selling debut album by a female country artist at that time. Fittingly, Trisha was named the ACM Top New Female Vocalist for the year 1991.
But in her further career efforts, Trisha sought to make an artistic statement rather than re-create the success of her debut single. (Are you paying attention to this, Gretchen Wilson?) She previewed her 1992 sophomore album with the lead single "Wrong Side of Memphis," a bluesy and ambitious country rocker about chasing dreams of Nashville stardom. The song was a semi-autobiographical account of writer Matraca Berg becoming homesick for Nashville while living in Louisiana.
On her second album Hearts In Armor, Trisha continued to develop a style heavy on introspective ballads. The number-two hit "Walkaway Joe" (which featured backup vocals from Don Henley) ranks as one of her finest.
In 1995, Trisha released her third studio album The Song Remembers When. The first single and title track became a number-two hit, and one of Trisha's signature tunes, not to mention one of the finest singles the decade ever produced. "The Song Remembers When" was a touching tribute to the power of music in dredging up forgotten emotions, and bringing back memories. Trisha's flawless vocals were the final brushstroke that made this single a masterpiece.
Trisha took a more pop-friendly direction with her further efforts. Her 1995 album Thinkin' About You produced a pair of chart-toppers (her first since "She's In Love with the Boy") in the title track and "XXXs and OOOs (An American Girl)."
"XXXs and OOOs," a single replete with catchy fiddle hooks, was a tale of an American girl growing up and learning to face real life "in her daddy's world." It was a song that Trisha discovered entirely by accident, having been written for a TV pilot, and originally meant to be recorded by Wynonna (who had to bow out due to illness). When the TV pilot failed to take off, the song became the centerpiece of Trisha's fourth studio album. No music video was produced for "XXXs and OOOs." Listen to the song here.
Trisha's 1996 album Everybody Knows produced two more major hits – the chart-topping "Believe Me Baby (I Lied)" and the Top 5 title track. Trisha showed a quirky and lighthearted side on the song "Everybody Knows" – a song about a woman bombarded with unsolicited advice on mending a broken heart. Hey, if it has the words "jerk" and "chocolate" in it, you know it has to be good.
In 1997 Trisha was invited to sing the song "How Do I Live" for the Touchstone film Con Air, after the studio had rejected LeAnn Rimes' pop-flavored interpretation of the song. After Trisha's version of the song was released to radio, LeAnn quickly released her version of the song, and the two versions began dueling for airplay. Trisha emerged victorious in the country category, with her version becoming a number-two country hit, and being included on her compilation album Songbook: A Collection of Hits. (LeAnn's version, however, became a major international pop hit)
It was at this time that the award industries began recognizing Trisha once again. In 1997, she won the ACM Award for Top Female Vocalist, and the CMA Award for Female Vocalist of the Year. She repeated the latter win the following year.
Trisha released the pop-flavored album Where Your Road Leads in 1998. This album was produced by Tony Brown instead of Garth Fundis. The lead single "There Goes My Baby," became another major hit, peaking at #2.
In 1999, Trisha received two of the greatest honors of her career: (1) Being inducted into the Grand Ole Opry by Porter Wagoner (2) Appearing on Sesame Street.
She released the album Real Live Woman in 2000, which was less successful at radio, but was praised by critics. Her 2001 album Inside Out produced her final Top 10 single with the power ballad "I Would've Loved You Anyway."
Trisha then took a four-year break from recording before releasing Jasper County – her swan song album for MCA. She later hopped over to the independent Big Machine label, and released the stunning set Heaven, Heartache, and the Power of Love in 2007. Since then, she has taken time off to promote her two cookbooks (Georgia Cooking In an Oklahoma Kitchen and Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood). She has hinted at the possibility of releasing a new album "whenever the time is right."
Trisha achieved notable commercial success in her country music career. But make no mistake about it – The high quality and artistic significance of her music itself is primarily what puts her so high on this list. With a unique and powerful voice like hers, she could have coasted along on fluffy radio-friendly fare saved only by her performance. Instead, she chose to deliver introspective material that made ambitious artistic statements. Her music catalog that boasts artistic significance and consistency that few of her contemporaries could match. She didn't just build a career; she built a legacy.

My whole life I have believed in the goodness of others. I have believed in other people. I accepted my naiveté as a positive. As somehow being a worthwhile trait of mine that I was willing to let others hurt me and forgive them. I have always trusted people. I have always let them in. Given them the key to my heart and hoped for the best.
It's funny because on Thursday I was talking to someone I had met on my trip to Europe. A Navy Seal who doesn't see value in friendships and relationships because it's easier to not let anyone in instead of losing them. He had lost his best friend in 2006 and I'm sure many friends throughout the years. I met this person for two days. I don't know him. And yet I still tried to convince him that he was wrong. That you have to let people in.
But now I wonder maybe he was right.
I will always stand by my words. They are mine. I am not one to be censored. When I have a problem with someone I believe in addressing it. I value my relationships enough to give them that respect. I stand by my feelings. They might change, in fact they frequently do. But they were real in that moment and they were true. And I will always to a fault be honest. Another trait of mine I value as a positive.
I have many faults and I will gleefully admit to them. But I will not lie. I will not censor. And I will always stand behind my words.
But I'm not sure if I can any longer believe in the goodness of others. I have never been any other way, so it will be a challenge.
At 27 I learned that you really can't trust anyone but yourself. It's a lesson I was hoping never to learn.
Forgive me for I will be writing backwards. I am very many posts behind, but I had to bring you slightly to the present before taking you back to the beginning.

The Briefing Room with John O'Brien and Teradata
Slides from the Live Webcast on Aug. 21, 2012
Data and context -- that's the ultimate combination. Uniting those two is the goal of today's information managers, as they seek to connect the world of traditional business intelligence on structured data to the ocean of new, multi-structured Big Data that can provide so much valuable context and additional insights. The question of how begs answers, but the big issue of what technology is best dominates the dialogue in the world's most cutting-edge companies.
Check out this episode of The Briefing Room to learn from veteran database Analyst John O'Brien of Radiant Advisors as he explains how certain information architectures have advantages over others with respect to bridging structured and unstructured data. He'll be briefed by Steve Wooledge of Teradata who will detail his company's innovations in SQL-MapReduce, which allows professionals to perform multi-structured analytics at scale. He'll describe how a new extension called SQL-H allows analysts to use Hadoop as if it were just another table in the database.

WESTON, Mass. – Playing its first night game at home ever, and with a large homecoming crowd looking on, no one would have blamed Rivers for stumbling in the spotlight.
However, when the lights got bright, the Red Wings got loose.
Rivers scored three touchdowns in the span of seven minutes, 50 seconds during the first half and held on to defeat Groton, 24-13, at Waterman Field. Justen Voghel led the Red Wings offense going 16 of 27 for 213 yards before leaving the game late with an ankle injury.
"Our seniors stepped up for a big, big win," Rivers coach Daniel Keohane said. "We knew Groton was similar to us and I think in the first half we did a great job, and in the second half we held them off."
The first half could not have gone better for the Red Wings. Rivers jumped out to a 21-0 lead less than two minutes into the second quarter, and it was the defense that stole the show. Groton was held to just seven points and four first downs in the first 24 minutes.
The Red Wings front seven were consistently able to get to Groton quarterback Arthur Jelin, who was starting his first varsity game. Rivers linebacker Nolan Kislauskis even got on the scoreboard, interrupting a Groton reverse and scampering 40 yards for a score. Rivers was also able to turnover Groton four times.
"Off the second handoff it bounced off the guy who was going to receive the ball, and it bounced up in the air," Kislauskis said. "I just grabbed it and ran for the touchdown."
The tone of the game changed in the second half and Groton began to assert itself. Jelin threw for 100 of his 114 yards in the second half and found Will Richardson in the fourth quarter.
Jelin threw for 58 yards on a last-ditch drive late in the game before it stalled inside Rivers' 20.
"I think at the end he showed glimpses of what he's capable of," Groton coach John Lyons said of Jelin. "I think the more you see what's in front, and the speed at which it is happening, the more you realize where to throw the ball. That is going to happen with a young kid. So if that happens you tell them to just keep plugging away. It was interesting to see all his teammates come out and pat him on the back after the game."
Although just a freshman, Rivers' Jamari Venter looks like he has all the tools to be a premier tailback in the future in the ISL.
Venter rushed for 76 yards including a 24-yard touchdown in the first quarter that let him show off just how much faster he was than his opposition.
While Venter did most of his damage between the tackles, his teammate Carlin Haymon burned Groton on the outside. The senior wide receiver reeled in eight balls for 138 yards.
"We have a lot of go-to guys in the offense," Keohane said. "Jamari is an excellent back. Jamari and Carlin Haymon, he's an excellent football player; so we're really fortunate to have real tough guys."
Despite having to deal with Rivers' firepower for 48 minutes, Groton's Austin Stern seemed to be in on every key defensive play. The 5-11, 200 pound linebacker played a major role in containing Venter late in the game and registered four tackles for loss.
"He's the heart and soul of our defense," Lyons said. " He must have had 15 tackles today; he did very well."
Groton did itself no favors last night by drawing major penalties at inopportune times.
There was a personal foul penalty on a third down in the first quarter that extended a drive and led to Rivers' first touchdown, and a defensive holding call that kept Rivers on the field late in the fourth.
The most notable was a holding call that wiped a touchdown off the board with less than three minutes left. Groton turned the ball over three plays later.

Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) and AstraZeneca received a complete response letter from FDA regarding the NDA for dapagliflozin as a treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults. The agency would like to see additional clinical data to better assess the benefit-risk profile of the drug.
FDA has asked for clinical trial data from ongoing studies and may require information from new clinical trials. Dapagliflozin's original PDUFA date was back in October 2011. At that time, FDA extended the action date by three months, asking for results from recently completed and ongoing Phase III trials with the drug.
BMS and AstraZeneca note that the clinical development program for dapagliflozin to date has included more than 8,000 adult patients with type 2 diabetes (with more than 5,000 patients treated with dapagliflozin) in 19 clinical trials.
Dapagliflozin inhibits SGLT2, a target in the kidney. It is under joint development by BMS and AstraZeneca. Dapagliflozin, as an adjunct to diet and exercise, is being investigated to evaluate its safety and efficacy in improving glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes, for use as a monotherapy and in combination with other antidiabetic agents.
The kidney plays an important role in glucose balance, normally filtering about 180 g of glucose each day, with virtually all glucose being reabsorbed back into circulation. SGLT2 is a major sodium-glucose co-transporter in the kidney and is an insulin-independent pathway for the reabsorption of glucose back into the blood.

Incontinence & Overactive Bladder Health Center
New Relief for Stress Incontinence
Women who suffer from stress urinary incontinence (SUI) worry about coughing, sneezing, even laughing in public for fear of having an accident. For some the fear of embarrassment is so great that they become virtual recluses, staying at home and avoiding any social contact.
Even with this anxiety, however, 62% of women sufferers wait a year or longer before discussing the condition with their doctor, reports a new Multi-sponsor Surveys' Gallup Study of women with SUI.
Recommended Related to Urinary Incontinence/OAB
Chances are we have all crossed our legs a time or two in hopes of making it to the closest restroom in time. But there's a big difference between having to go, and always feeling like you have to go. For those who live with bladder spasms, that feeling is a painful reality that can lead to embarrassing wetting accidents and an unwanted shift in lifestyle. However, there are a variety of treatment options available to manage the symptoms. Here's what you need to know about bladder spasms, from the...
Read the Bladder Spasms article > >
"It's usually when something really embarrassing happens to them in public that they finally seek help," says Jill Peters-Gee, MD, director of the Continence Care Program for Women's Health Connecticut. Most women cope with SUI by wearing pads, says Peters-Gee, because they don't know that SUI can now be easily treated with a simple surgical procedure.
First though, a definition. SUI is the involuntary loss of urine due to any physical activity that puts strain on the bladder, says Peters-Gee. The most common type of incontinence, SUI affects nearly 8 million women in the U.S, and occurs when the pelvic muscles supporting the bladder and urethra have been damaged or weakened. Some of the physical changes that can lead to SUI include childbirth, pelvic or gynecologic surgery, menopause or estrogen deficiency, obesity, and chronic constipation
Up to 80% of cases of female incontinence are treatable, says Peters-Gee, with treatment options including:
- Kegel exercises to strengthen the pelvic muscles.
- Electrical stimulation to help return injured muscles to fitness, and biofeedback to record progress in strengthening treatments and exercises.
- Medical devices that block or capture urine.
- Hormone cream to restore the tissue of the vagina and urethra to their normal thickness (the thinner the tissue gets, as estrogen levels decline, the more chance there is for leakage).
- Surgery to repair or lift the urethra or bladder neck to provide support during straining or sudden movement.
At one time surgery to treat SUI was much more invasive, painful, and required a lengthy recuperation. That's one reason many women with SUI hesitate before seeking treatment, says Peters-Gee. A minimally invasive procedure that has been offered for the past seven years, however, is proving very successful.

Are there themes that support two or three column posts?
Every two or three column theme I've seen really only has
one column for post, and two columns for widgets.
Are there themes that support two or three column posts?
Every two or three column theme I've seen really only has
one column for post, and two columns for widgets.
Hi uthink,
I have a similar question-- I am building a theme that needs to have three columns of content (but in a page, not in a post). The simplistic approach--there needs to be a way to "mark" the beginning of each column so it can show up in the correct column div.
The two solutions I've been thinking of are:
1) Mark the beginning of each column content section with a delimiter such as "[column]". Then use get_post() to get the content, parse it using the delimiter and stick each piece into it's appropriate column div. This has the advantage of all the content being located directly in the page that it goes on. People have done something similar for PHPList (open source e-newsletter).
2) Create each column content section as a separate post, give them a category so I can associate them with a specific page. Then loop through all posts with that category and display each one in a separate column on the page. Advantage: no delimiter necessary.
Both of these are kind of brittle solutions IMO. And I may be making this more complicated than it needs to be. Is there a simpler/more elegant solution? For example, I can imagine a plug-in that could be configured for any number of columns, and has separate text editor boxes that would allow content editing separately for each column.
It looks like there are indeed some plug-ins for mult-column. See http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=columns.
(WP Post Columns, WP Columnize, Dual Column, and Magazine Columns)
Uthink, if you decide to try one or more of these, a follow-up letting us know how well they worked for you would be great.
So far everything I've found that is "ready-made" simply moves content from one column to the next as new post are created. I'm looking to have column 1 dedicated to author 1, and column 2 dedicated to author 2.
I don't mind customizing something myself, but I want to see that it's doable before I spend a lot of hours on it. Of course now I'm spending a lot of hours trying to find this unicorn. LOL
Hadn't thought about a plugin rather than a whole theme. Looks promising. I'll try some out later today!
For those of you who want a simple but limited approach (not using a plug-in), here's the code I wrote for my theme for multiple columns within a page. It is set up to use 3 columns but is easy to modify to n columns. The text of the content should look like this:
potential content goes here that appears before the columns.
Content for column 1 here.
Content for column 2 here.
Content for column 3 here.
Code from theme:
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$page_columns = explode("[--column--]", $post->post_content);
endwhile; endif;
print $page_columns[0];
print '
';
print $page_columns[1];
print '
';
print'
';
print $page_columns[2];
print '
';
print '
';
print $page_columns[3];
print '
';
Note: if there is content that appears before column 1, the array index for the first column should be zero. Otherwise the array index for the first column should be one. This seems to be the way explode() indexes things.
Standard disclaimer applies: this code is provided as-is, no warranty. I am not responsible for any use of this code. Use at your own risk.
Best wishes!
thanks krimsly for the nice code.
make a try and let you know guys
This is a great hack and I almost have it working. The problem is that you can't format any of your content. There are no line breaks and any other formatting from the style sheet is lost. For example, I have 4 or 5 nice columns on the page and the text is black. With this example, all of the text scrunches together and the text is black.
If anyone has any idea how to rewrite this code to get around this so we can format the text with the visual editor I would appreciate it. Below is the exact code that I'm using.
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$page_columns = explode("[--column--]", $post->post_content);
endwhile; endif;
print '

';
print $page_columns[0];
print '	';
print ' ';
print '	';
print $page_columns[1];
print '

chrisauman and others,
I don't know if this affects the issue you are seeing or not, but I've discovered that the hack I wrote needs some modification for WP 2.8. It looks like some functionality may have changed from 2.7, in the way apply_filters() is called by the core WP code (it seemed to be working fine in 2.7). I tried to verify this by looking at the 2.8 change history but I couldn't find mention of this.
This was causing short tags to not be parsed, as well as formatting issues like double blank lines were not being turned into paragraphs.
Basically, I needed to modify the code to look like this:
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$content = get_the_content();
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$page_sections = explode("[--section--]", $content);
endwhile; endif;
FMI please see also my other two posts on this topic:
So far everything I've found that is "ready-made" simply moves content from one column to the next as new post are created. I'm looking to have column 1 dedicated to author 1, and column 2 dedicated to author 2.
Hi uthink
Have you had any joy with this 2 columns for 2 authors idea? I've also been trawling the web looking for help on this. I'm looking to set up a blog for myself and my wife the same way as you described.
or does anyone else have any knowledge to share on this?
Hi krimsly,
I couldn't get the code working for 2.9.
Any update for it?
Try this on your single.php page:

<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php $content = apply_filters( 'the_content', $post->post_content );
// Multi-column
if ( strlen( $content ) > 500 ) {
$halfentry = strpos( $content, '
', strlen( $content ) / 2 ) + 4;
echo '
' . substr( $content, 0, $halfentry ) . '
',
'
' . substr( $content, $halfentry ) . '
',
'

';
// Single column
else echo $content;
wp_link_pages(array('before' => '
Pages: ', 'after' => '
', 'next_or_number' => 'number'));?>

Happy Holidays from the Cleveland Indians Community Impact team
2015 was an exciting year as we designed our Community Impact Strategic Plan to guide the charitable efforts of the organization for the next three to five years.
This past year, we launched and executed many events to help achieve our mission of utilizing baseball to strengthen youth through service initiatives focused on education, health and fitness. Please look out for our 2015 Community Report highlighting the impact we have made on our community over the past year. Below you will find a few highlights as we head into 2016.
Cleveland Indians Holiday Volunteering
As part of the Cleveland Indians organizational commitment to "Positively Impacting the Community", front office employees annually volunteer at local nonprofit organizations throughout the holiday season. This year, more than 130 front office volunteers committed nearly 350 service hours and provided four families with gifts for the holidays. Volunteers packed and prepared food at the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, served our annual Thanksgiving Meal at Progressive Field, and participated in The Centers for Families and Children's "Adopt A Family" program.
Additionally, Terry Francona donated $5,000 to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, which equates to 20,000 meals for those in need. The donation was packed at Discount Drug Mart on Friday and delivered to the Food Bank.
- See the video above for highlights, and click on the links below for more coverage on our volunteer events!
To achieve our primary goal of preparing youth for successful lives, we have launched our new Tribe Scholars program aimed at encouraging middle school academic achievement. Through partnerships with Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) and local schools, the Cleveland Indians will reward students for grade improvement in English/Language Arts, consistent attendance, and good behavior with Indians tickets and experiences during the 2015-2016 school year. This new program is implemented at the classroom level by teachers and administrators.
In addition, we will be unveiling the inaugural Cleveland Indians Career Day on Thursday, January 28th, 2016. This exciting new program will provide CMSD high school baseball and softball athletes with an opportunity to explore various career paths within the sports industry. Students will be exposed to 10 different departments in the Indians front office, participate in a resume building workshop, and have the opportunity to return later in the year for a full job shadow experience in a department of their choice.
As a baseball company, we strive to improve the quality of youth baseball and softball programs in Cleveland. The Cleveland Indians in partnership with Positive Coaching Alliance are providing coaching workshops to Cleveland Baseball Federation (CBF) and CMSD baseball and softball coaches. We will host a youth baseball clinic at Progressive Field during MLB's Play Ball weekend on Saturday May 14th and a mini camp at Historic League Park on July 5th,6th and 7th.Youth from the Cleveland Baseball Federation and the Boys and Girls Clubs will be invited to participate.
To ensure our youth programs continue to be impactful, we are working to create a sustainable plan for youth baseball and softball. We are identifying a select handful of Northeast Ohio companies to become Cleveland Indians Charities Community Partners. This new program focuses on innovative cause-related marketing that puts the spotlight on Community Impact. A portion of each sponsorship will directly support our youth programs. For more information on this program , please contact Penny Forster at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Indians Hall of Fame Benefit Luncheon, featuring 2014 HOF inductee Omar Vizquel, returns on June 21
Fans can hear former Indians greats in roundtable discussion, get autographs as part of Indians Hall of Fame Weekend
Select former Cleveland Indians greats and members of the team's Hall of Fame will participate in a roundtable discussion at the Indians second annual Hall of Fame Benefit Luncheon on June 21.
The event, which will take place in the Terrace Club at Progressive Field, begins at 11:30AM and is part of Indians Hall of Fame Weekend. Scheduled to appear in the roundtable are 2014 Indians Hall of Fame inductee OMAR VIZQUEL and former teammates KENNY LOFTON, 2014 Hall of Fame inductee CARLOS BAERGA, SANDY ALOMAR and CHARLIE NAGY.
Later that evening, as the Tribe takes on the Detroit Tigers at 7:15PM, the Indians will induct Vizquel into the Indians Hall of Fame.
Tickets for the luncheon are $100 and can be purchased at Indians.com/HOFLuncheon. Included is a ballpark fare buffet and the opportunity to get autographs (one per player per person) from Indians greats in attendance. All proceeds benefit Cleveland Indians Charities.
Of the 1,700-plus players who have worn a Blues, Bronchos or Indians uniform since 1901, Vizquel will be the 40th inductee into the Indians Hall of Fame in an on-field pre-game ceremony.
Vizquel is the current all-time Major League Baseball leader at shortstop in fielding percentage (.985), double plays turned (1,735) and games played at the position (2,709). He won 11 Rawlings Gold Glove awards (nine consecutive from 1993-2001, and 2005- 2006), and is the oldest shortstop to win the award (at age 38 and again at 39). He also made three American League All-Star teams (1998, 1999, 2002).
Vizquel helped the club win two American League Championships (1995, 1997) and six American League Central Division championships (1995-1999, 2001). In 1999, he boasted a .333 batting average and scored 112 runs for an Indians team that scored a league-leading 1,009 runs, marking the most productive offensive lineup in Cleveland Indians baseball history.
The Indians also will posthumously induct radio broadcaster JIMMY DUDLEY into the Indians Distinguished Hall of Fame for non-uniformed personnel.
This year's Hall of Fame celebration will include an Omar Vizquel replica jersey that 12,500 fans will receive courtesy of Medical Mutual, fireworks (Led Zeppelin tribute) presented by RTA, and Rally Alley presented by RTA, at which fans can access games, live music and other entertainment on Larry Doby Way, north of Progressive Field. Game tickets for June 21 – which are going fast — can be purchased at Indians.com.
Brad Hamilton's big day tops storylines from 2014 CIC Hardball Classic
By Alex Gimenez
Cleveland Indians/TribeVibe
It's been quite a year thus far for the Hamilton family.
Indians play-by-play man Tom Hamilton was honored with his sixth Ohio Sportscaster of the Year Award by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. His oldest son, Nick, has continued to develop in the Indians farm system and received a start with the big league club in Spring Training with his proud father watching from the press box.
Most recently, Hamilton's youngest son, Brad, a senior and starting catcher at Avon Lake, made a splash at Progressive Field through the Cleveland Indians Charities Hardball Classic, presented by Novacare Rehabilitation.
As part of a family with strong ties to Northeast Ohio, Brad grew up living in the shadows of Progressive Field, coming out to the ballpark in the summers once school had closed out for the year. The allure of Major League Baseball hooked the youngest Hamilton and helped to drive him towards a future in the game. The opportunity to play at Progressive Field thus carried with it some extra emotions.
"This is just an awesome experience, getting to play where we all grew up watching the Tribe and wishing we could play on that field. It's a really neat opportunity," he said of the experience.
Brad is unquestionably a leader on the Shoremen varsity baseball team. As a senior, team captain and catcher, he is charged with managing not only his pitching staff but the entire Avon Lake roster, and it is clear that his teammates look up to his leadership both on and off the field. On the field, he has done quite well for himself, following in his brother's footsteps by earning an offer to play for Kent State as a member of the Golden Flashes baseball team.
With high school baseball season just under way in Northeast Ohio after one of the harshest winters in recent memory, Brad and his Avon Lake teammates were faced with an early test, taking on a powerhouse St. Ignatius. The Shoremen had lost this same matchup at the big-league ballpark last season, and in what would amount to his final high school game here, Brad wanted nothing more than a victory for his team.
Standing underneath the ballpark in the Indians batting cages, Brad was living the life of a big leaguer. He was hitting in the same batting cages that many of the players he'd looked up to over the years had used during their stay with the Tribe. Moments later, he walked out towards the home bullpen to warm up his starting pitcher, Avon Lake ace Logan DeLong, following the same path that Tribe great Sandy Alomar Jr. might have taken to warm up Charles Nagy before an early April Indians game in the 1990s.
"Bradley was so excited about getting to warm up his pitcher in the bullpen and hitting under the ballpark in the batting cages, all things that when you are around the game you take for granted," Tom Hamilton said. "Every kid dreams of being able to play in the big leagues and they got to experience what that would be like for a day."
Brad Hamilton was behind the plate for the first pitch, and it would not take much longer for him to take center stage in the ballgame, where he struck early and often. In the bottom of the first, Avon Lake loaded the bases with nobody out, bringing Hamilton to the plate. Standing confidently in the box, he lined a two-run single into left-center field to put the Shoremen on the board. The rally would continue as Avon pushed across a total of five runs in the first inning.
Not wasting any time, Hamilton came to the plate in the second inning, again with the bases loaded. On the first pitch, he drove a ball into the gap in left-center field, driving home two more runs to give his team a 7-0 lead. The hit wound up being the game-winner as Avon Lake held on for a 7-5 victory, and Hamilton would finish 2-3 with 4 RBIs.
"It was an unbelievable experience and to get the win is just a bonus," he said. "I was really happy with everyone's approach, the guys really battled before me and I was just lucky to be in that situation [to drive in the winning runs]."
The Hamilton family is enjoying a strong year in baseball this year, but understand very well that this game can be unrelenting, with every hitting streak there comes a slump and with success there comes failure.
"We've been very blessed and we know how fortunate we are. Baseball is a game with many ups and downs and my kids know that, and we cherish that the boys have had these great experiences thus far this year," said Tom Hamilton.
Since 1989, CIC has donated nearly $10 million to youth-oriented agencies and organizations of Northeast Ohio, including a $1 million donation in April 2012 to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Cleveland's "Save the Kids" campaign. Additionally, Cleveland Metropolitan School District high school baseball and softball programs are made possible due to the multi-million-dollar commitment from CIC.
Hardball Classic game recaps
Avon Lake 7, St. Ignatius 5
Avon Lake struck first in the bottom of the first inning with five runs off of Ignatius starter Bennett Kinzel. After loading the bases with nobody out, Hamilton delivered a two-run single to get the scoring started. In the second, Hamilton again delivered for Avon Lake with the bases loaded, driving in two more runs to give the Shoremen a 7-0 lead. Hamilton would finish the day at 2-3 with 4 RBI.
"I don't know if you can find a hotter hitter in baseball in Northeast Ohio," Avon Lake head coach Jay Fowler said of Hamilton . "He's a fabulous talent and a hard worker, and we're just really happy for him."
For the Shoremen, starter and ace Logan DeLong worked a scoreless first inning before being lifted from the game to preserve his arm after throwing earlier in the week. He was relieved by Logan Montague, who worked four strong innings, surrendering just one run on six hits.
Trailing by six in the sixth, Ignatius would rally for four runs off of Shoremen reliever Logan Cherni to make it a two-run game. Nick Longo led off the inning with a walk, then swiped second base and scored on a throwing error to ignite the Ignatius offense. Jake Kucia then singled home a run followed by a Sam Fuller two-run double to cap off the scoring for the Wildcats.
Leading by two, Avon Lake put the game into the hands of sophomore reliever James O'Connor, who was making his second appearance for the Varsity team. O'Connor delivered in a big spot, shutting down the Ignatius sixth-inning rally and returning in the seventh to close out the game retiring all four batters he faced.
University School 4, Gilmour Academy 0
In Friday's Hardball Classic nightcap, Gilmour Academy and University School faced off under the lights of Progressive Field. With school out for the weekend, students from both schools were out in full force to support their teams, lining the home and visiting dugouts creating a playoff-like atmosphere for the players.
Pitching dominated the first two innings, as starters Brandon Jaces and Chandler Waszak traded zeroes for Gilmour and University respectively. Waszak had the strikeout pitch working, retiring five of his first six outs via the strikeout; Jaces pitched to contact.
In the top of the third, the Preppers struck first, scoring two runs on a well-hit ball to deep left-center field off the bat of Waszak. Andrew Domonkos followed with an RBI single to make it 3-0. In the fifth, Domonkos helped University tack on an insurance run with an RBI double to make it 4-0.
Waszak was a force to be reckoned with on the mound throughout, holding the Lancers to just five hits. In the bottom of the sixth, Waszak faced his biggest test of the game, allowing runners to reach second and third with nobody out. He retired the next three batters without surrendering a run on two groundouts and a strikeout, his 12th of the game. He finished with 13 punchouts.
"This is probably one of the first and only times I'll be playing in a Major League stadium and to be able to come out here and play as well as we did was awesome," Waszak said of his team's performance.
For University Head Coach Ben Boka, the opportunity for his players to play at Progressive Field was special.
"This certainly is a tremendous place to play and these boys really appreciate the opportunity to come out here and play and it really makes them come out and play the best that they can," said Boka.

Tweet using #Whiff + @Indians to help Cleveland's kids
Major League Baseball and Head & Shoulders are teaming up for another "Season of the #Whiff" and we want you to get involved!
What is a whiff?
A whiff is the "swoosh" of the bat hitting nothing but air. Think of a terrible miss in a backyard game of whiffle ball, and you'll hear a whiff.
While whiffs may be bad news for a hitter, whiffs are wonderful for a pitching staff — and now they could help kids in the Cleveland area get to play the game we all know and love. The MLB clubs with the highest whiff totals each month will earn funding for their local RBI program from Head & Shoulders!
What is the RBI program?
The Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program was designed by Major League Baseball to increase participation and interest in baseball and softball among underserved youth.
Cleveland Indians Charities (CIC) and the Cleveland Baseball Federation team up to operate the local RBI and Rookie League programs that provide youth team-oriented activities while challenging them academically and physically. Kids are also required to attend educational seminars that stress positive social interaction, health issues, and the importance of staying in school. More than 4,500 Cleveland-area boys and girls participate in RBI and Rookie League each year.
How can I help?
Simply by including "#WHIFF + @Indians" in your tweets (or retweeting others who do) you could help raise thousands of dollars for Cleveland area kids! You can include "#Whiff + @Indians" in up to 27 tweets per day (per account) to count toward the Tribe's whiff total.
The team with the highest total of #Whiff tweets each month will earn thousands of dollars for their local RBI chapter! Here's the breakdown of dollar distribution for whiff leaders each month, April through September:
- 1st Place: $10,000
- 2nd Place: $7,500
- 3rd Place: $7,500
- 4th Place: $5,000
- 5th Place: $5,000
- 6th Place: $2,500
- 7th Place: $2,500

On #GivingTuesday, give local youth the chance to play baseball or softball through Catch 25!
What better gift to give on #GivingTuesday than the gift of baseball? For $25, you can give that gift to a local boy or girl in the form of Little League baseball or softball.
Cleveland Indians Charities introduced its "Catch 25" campaign earlier this season, and has raised thousands of dollars to fund baseball or softball for Cleveland youth.
And as the nation's attention turns to Giving Tuesday, there still is time to donate for more kids to have the opportunity to play in 2014.
"Cleveland Indians Charities embraces its responsibility to serve and is dedicated to shaping children's lives through the games of baseball and softball," said REBECCA KODYSH, the Indians Executive Director of Community Impact. "These contributions make a major impact on the lives of Cleveland-area children."
To donate, visit Indians.com/Catch25. To ensure secure transactions, an Indians.com user name and password are necessary to donate. For those wishing to donate but who do not have an Indians.com account, signing up is easy at Indians.com.
The Catch 25 campaign reflects the continued commitment of Cleveland Indians Charities to the Indians organization's four Guiding Commitments, one of which is to positively impact the community and provide essential opportunities to Cleveland-area youth.
Established in 1989, CIC partners with groups in Northeast Ohio to jointly create and execute youth educational and recreational opportunities. These programs help young people learn to play the game of baseball, develop necessary life skills, learn responsibility, and develop confidence to face today's hurdles.
Through the years, CIC has raised money at a variety of fundraising events and is aided by the generosity of donors including Cleveland Indians players, coaches, fans, Front Office personnel and corporate partners.
Since 1989, CIC has donated nearly $9 million to youth-oriented agencies and organizations of Northeast Ohio, including a $1 million donation last April to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Cleveland's "Save the Kids" campaign. Additionally, high school baseball and softball in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District are alive only because of the multi-million-dollar commitment made by the Indians organization.
Tribe front office spends Thursday rehabilitating two East Side homes
Thirty members of the Indians front office spent Thursday out of the office on Cleveland's East Side, helping rehabilitate two homes in conjunction with Rebuilding Together.
One home, owned by a special education teacher at Cleveland's Glenville High School, got a fresh coat of paint on trim and dormers, plus improvements to drywall and floors on the interior. Downspouts and gutters also were repaired.
The other home is owned by a woman named Gloria who uses the adjacent lot to raise a garden, whose wares she sells at a farmer's market. Her home got new paint on the interior, plus some improvements to the rear of the home's siding and porch areas.
"This is usually one of the most popular events we participate in for our employees," said Justin Sherman, coordinator of the Tribe's Community Outreach department. "To get out in the community and make a tangible difference in people's lives is a great feeling."
The effort was part of the Indians commitment to the Cleveland and Northeast Ohio communities. Through the organization's Community Outreach department, each member of the Indians front volunteers at various activities throughout each year, including Rebuilding Together.
Additionally, through Cleveland Indians Charities, the Indians have raised millions of dollars to support various youth activities, including complete funding of Cleveland Metropolitan School District baseball and softball and supporting Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities and more.
Rebuilding Together is a a national nonprofit with a network of nearly 225 affiliates across the United States; its mission is to preserve affordable housing by bringing volunteers, organizations and communities together to restore the home of low-income homeowners. Homeowners are chosen through an application process.

Memorable moments from the Tribe's first half
It's been a whirlwind nine months for the Cleveland Indians organization, starting in October with Terry Francona and ending on Sunday with the Tribe's sixth series sweep of the 2013 season, over Kansas City.
Having won four in a row, the Indians entered the All-Star break with two representatives, Jason Kipnis and Justin Masterson, in New York and a 51-44 record, good enough for second place in the AL Central. Detroit leads and is 1½ games ahead.
Given a few days to take a breather, here are some of our picks for the club's most memorable moments of the first half:
Nick Swisher orchestrates Harlem Shake: Tribe Town 216 Edition — To say this one went viral would be an understatement. Personally, we loved Terry's dancing the best, as did most of you!
April 10: Mariano Rivera meets Indians staff in Yankees' final visit to Progressive Field — Or, what we thought was their final visit. In his season-long farewell tour, Rivera insisted on meeting with longtime staff members at each club the Yanks visited. They returned to Cleveland on May 13 to make up rainouts, but Rivera showed he's a class act by fielding questions from longtime Indians employees.
April 12: Swisher's walkoff single — Already beloved in Cleveland after signing in December, Swisher's walkoff single gave the Indians a 1-0 victory over the White Sox at Progressive Field on a cold Friday night. It also clinched the first of three complete-game shutouts in the first half by Masterson – and provided a fantastic highlight after Swisher did his best airplane imitation.

Richardson blows hot for Worcs
Watch free daily video highlights from every LV= County Championship match here on ecb.co.uk this summer
While Durham's LV= County Championship title hopes drifted away on the remnants of Hurricane Katia, Worcestershire made virtually certain of Division One safety at the Emirates Durham ICG.
On a day when the strength of the wind forced the umpires to dispense with bails, the willingness of Alan Richardson to keep running in was invaluable to the visitors.
By taking 3-46 in 24.4 overs, he became the first bowler in the top flight to 70 wickets and the pressure he applied played a big part in Durham's slide from 146 for two to 264 all out.
In 10 overs Worcestershire replied with 21 for one and led bottom club Hampshire by 19 points with power to add. The likelihood of Hampshire gaining more than 19 from their match against leaders Warwickshire looks very remote.
Yorkshire's relegation was confirmed at 2.20pm, when Will Smith was bowled by Kemar Roach for 66 to give Worcestershire their first bowling point and ensure they stay above the Tykes.
Durham began the day 15 points adrift of top spot, but hopes of a dramatic climax to the season began to drain away as Warwickshire piled on the runs at the Rose Bowl.
Only Dale Benkenstein seemed motivated to match Smith's application, but after the opener's departure sparked the decline, Durham's middle-order rock was in danger of running out of partners when he edged to second slip for 33.
Durham began by winning the toss for the 14th time in 16 championship games and the Worcestershire bowlers would be grateful that the wind was blowing across the pitch.
Michael Di Venuto was lucky to survive two successive balls in the second over as Richardson had him dropped at gully on one by Gareth Andrew, then a confident lbw appeal was turned down.
Di Venuto went on to make 33 before Andrew trapped him in front, and Mark Stoneman shouldered arms and fell lbw to Richardson in the final over before lunch.
Smith scored only three runs in the first 75 minutes and Richardson had bowled 13 overs for 16 runs when Smith twice edged him for four on his way to a 131-ball half-century. It took a superb inswinging yorker from Roach to dislodge him.
Richardson had Paul Collingwood caught behind for 22 and when the gentle medium-pace of Daryl Mitchell was introduced for one over Ian Blackwell hit him for six and four before being pinned in front by a gentle wobbler.
Roach took two more wickets to finish with 3-57 and when Worcestershire batted it was tough going for James Cameron and Mitchell, who edged Graham Onions to Phil Mustard four overs from the close.

The Alerus Center in Grand Forks is negotiating to buy several lots adjacent to the city-owned events center.
The Grand Forks Herald reports that officials don't yet have a specific use in mind for the land. Minutes from a Grand Forks Events Center Commission committee meeting in October say that will depend on "what the other competitor cities do."
Commissioners say the group wants to ensure the facility has room to grow. The area where the Alerus Center is has seen a building boom in recent years with several new hotels, a strip mall and several office buildings.
Commissioner John Schmisek says if lots adjacent to the center are purchased by companies or other developers, the Alerus could become landlocked with no room for expansion.

Circuit switching routing technique:
It is a technique in which the whole path is reserved for only one network. No other network can share its own path with others. This routing technique is used where one doesn't want the network path to be shared or it can't be shared for that type of communication.
In Plain old telephone service (POTS), circuit switching is used because in that service dedicate path is required for voice communication.
Here, the above diagram shows that the sender from the Seattle is transmitting data to the receiver in Boston through a single, dedicated and non-shared data circuit.
Packet switching technique:
It known as datagram technique is used when one has to send the packet through shortest path and in shortest time interval. Each packet is independent its intermediate destination node is determined node is determined by shortest path algorithm and traffic conditions. TCP/IP use datagram switching for all routing decisions.
In the packet switched network diagram including node from Seattle and Boston, there are 4 more nodes which are connected to the packet-switched network as there can be multiple connections using the same network in packet switching.
Virtual switching technique:
It is the network path in which this technique is applied can be shared to other connections for data communication. This can make the use of the channel more effective and efficient. It assures the correct order of packets since all packets follow the same path. This technique is used for ATM (Asynchronous transfer mode) which uses small packets and careful path selection to control traffic.
Here, the above diagram of virtual circuits in a network shows the channel path A-B which is connected through nodes A, e, k, m, n, p, q, B. The channel path A-B has shared its nodes k, n and p and its link n-p with another channel path C-D which is connected through nodes C, j, k, h, i, n, p, D.
