What to See
El Centro is the main shopping district of Seville. Centered around La Calle Sierpes, this is the most bustling area of the city. For an afternoon of shopping, visit the many small specialty shops, which sell things varying from fine Spanish leather to Flamenco dresses. For a larger, more American style shopping experience, visit the department store called El Corte Inglés, located in the Plaza del Duque.
There are many places to shop in Madrid, but here are a few of the highlights. For upscale shops like Chanel, Armani, and Loewe be sure to check out Serrano Street. For standard retail stores, head on over to Gran Via, where you can shop at H&M, Zara, and Mango, at prices that are a bit cheaper than the States. For funky, original clothing, take a short walk from Gran Via to Fuencarral and Hortaleza street.
El Museo de Bellas Artes, Plaza del Museo, 9
For art lovers, Seville's Museum of Fine Arts, located in the Plaza del Museo near the Plaza de Armas bus station, is a dream come true.

After the Christian conquest of Seville in the thirteenth century, the cathedral was built in 1401 on the former site of the great Almohad mosque.

You can climb the tower's 35 gently sloping ramps to the top for magnificent views of the city. Open daily.
Nestled behind the cathedral, the Santa Cruz Quarter is the city's old Jewish quarter and one of the most romantic parts of Seville. Wander around this medieval neighborhood and explore its narrow winding streets, admiring the whitewashed houses and brightly colored geraniums.
El Parque de María Luisa
The María Luisa Park was originally the palace grounds for the San Telmo Palace, which once belonged to María Luisa, the sister of Queen Isabella II. This beautiful park, which is full of winding walkways and ornamental pools, is the perfect place to take a mid-afternoon stroll. Go there to just relax and get out of the sun, or take a horse and carriage ride through one of the park's long forested alleys.
From the María Luisa Park, stroll over and revisit the Plaza de España. Relax by the fountains or rent a rowboat and take a fun mini-excursion on the Plaza's canal.
Across the Guadalquivir River is the neighborhood of Triana. Well away from the tourist crowds, Triana was once the heart of the city's gypsy community and home of the great flamenco dynasties of Seville.

Stadium tours occur daily between 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
La Campana, Sierpes 1

Cafetería Universal, Blanca de los Rios 1
Near the Plaza del Salvador, this place will provide you with a hearty portion of tapas for an affordable price. Because of its proximity to the shopping area, this is also a great place to sit down at the bar or near the windows.
El Rinconcillo, Gerona 40

Enrique Becerra, Gamazo 2
For a moderately priced meal, check out this restaurant, an old favourite with Sevillanos. While you dine on your Andalusian dishes, marvel at this converted 17th-century house with art deco-style stained windows, wooden beams and Roman marble columns.
El Corte Ingles
A shopping center like a Macy's that has a good restaurant with a little bit of everything.
Casa Labra, Calle Tetuán, 12

Curious about travel with ACIS? Find out answers to your burning questions below.
For Group Leaders and Teachers:see all FAQs
Certainly. You have three different options:
1. Assistants
Family members or colleagues may travel as assistants (even if minors, though children must be five years or older to travel in an ACIS group), according to the terms of the Group Leader Stipend Chart.* Assistants must be 21 years old and have at least five participants to their name to be eligible for the Experience Bonus.
2. Family/Colleague
Family members or colleagues may take a 20% discount from the program fee. These participants will not count toward your free trip, stipend or other group leader benefits. Like all paying participants, they are subject to mandatory fees (registration, tax, etc.) as well as full payment deadlines.
3. $150 Child Discount
For children under the age of 12, you may take a flat $150 Child Discount (plus the 20% Family/Colleague Discount) off their program fee, but they will still be subject to mandatory fees. The child's registration will not count toward your free trip, stipend or other group leader benefits. The minimum age to travel with an ACIS group is five years old.
*Anyone can become an assistant to the group, provided they have at least one full-paying participant to their credit.
Can a paying participant become an assistant?
Yes. This must be done no later than 65 days before departure and an ACIS Assistant Registration Form must be submitted. Assistants added or canceled within 90 days of departure will be charged a $100 late fee payable either by the applicable assistant or the group leader. Please inform us immediately of these changes in writing.
What if my assistant must cancel?
Please inform ACIS immediately. We regret that if the cancellation occurs within 65 days of departure, we will charge the canceling assistant a $150 late cancellation fee and may not be able to accommodate a substitute assistant. If the cancellation is within 45 days of departure, the assistant must pay a $250 late cancellation fee (see ACIS Assistant Registration Form for policy) and their stipend credits are not transferable. Please always alert us in writing as soon as possible when an assistant cancels.
Do I receive travel insurance as a group leader?
Every ACIS Group Leader receives coverage under our most enhanced protection plan, the Ultimate Protection Plan complimentary for any tour they lead.
What if the group leader must cancel?
A mutual effort is made to find a qualified substitute teacher or other adult who will assume full group leader responsibilities. Participants who choose not to travel with the replacement group leader are subject to the standard cancellation/refund policy
Can I stay on after my group returns home?
Yes. An Alternate Return Request Form must be completed and returned to ACIS no later than 90 days before departure. You will be responsible for any additional flight costs, and must arrange for a responsible adult (preferably an assistant) to take charge of your group on the flight home. You must obtain written permission from a parent/guardian of each participant, naming the adult in charge. There will be a $150 charge for any change made within 90 days of departure, and no changes are possible within 65 days.
Can I stay in a single room?
Single accommodations are provided free of charge for group leaders who have eight or more paying participants counted to their credit AND who do not travel with a spouse or an assistant of the same sex. For those traveling in 2010/2011, see our Service Guarantee. In the unlikely event that a single room is not available, ACIS will reimburse you $20 per hotel night. Eligibility for the single room is based on the standard 1:6 prorate and is non-transferable. If the above does not apply, you may also elect to pay a surcharge of $40 per hotel night for a single room. Single rooms are not available aboard cruise ships, overnight ferries or trains, in China, Africa, Russia and most residence programs.
For Students and Parents:see all FAQs
ACIS groups travel on scheduled flights, using all the major carriers. These include American Airlines, Air France, Aerolineas Argentinas, Alitalia, Finnair, British Airways, British Midland Airways, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Aer Lingus, Icelandair, Iberia, Spanair, Lufthansa, Swiss International Airlines Ltd., Northwest, Air New Zealand, Olympic Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Taca International Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, United Airlines, US Airways, Air Europa, and Virgin Atlantic. You'll receive flight information as your departure date approaches.
How many people travel in a group?
ACIS groups average anywhere from 35 to 45 participants traveling together on a bus, led by an ACIS Tour Manager. Small groups are often combined to create one bus group. This is the group with whom you share your travel experience. You eat your meals together, stay in the same accommodations, and travel together on the bus. It's an opportunity to make lifelong friendships!
Tell us more about the tour manager.
"Tour manager" is an important term in educational travel. It refers to your bus group leader, who is rigorously trained and specially selected to assist your group while overseas. ACIS Tour Managers are famous for their multifaceted roles, both educational and logistical. An ACIS Tour Manager is part commentator, counselor, troubleshooter, advocate, and stopwatch! He or she supervises hotel check-ins, directs the bus driver and leads educational activities.
Most importantly, ACIS Tour Managers are travel gurus. They thrive on sharing their passion and love for the cultures of the world, giving you the opportunity to see the world through the eyes of those who live and work there. Over the years, we've employed university professors, film directors, journalists, musicians, business professionals, and other creative achievers. Our tour managers are consistently recognized as top in the industry. You'll receive more information about your tour manager as your departure date approaches.
Your ACIS Tour Manager maintains a professional relationship with the group but is not directly responsible for enforcing discipline or the ACIS behavior guidelines. That is the responsibility of the your group leader. It is your tour manager's responsibility, however, to report to your group leader any infractions and to be sure that ACIS behavior guidelines are adhered to.
Where do we stay?
ACIS groups stay in three- and four-star conveniently located hotels. We place a priority on booking hotels in good locations and safe areas, with convenient access to both local attractions and public transportation.
Students generally stay in rooms with two or three beds. During peak travel periods, hotels sometimes add an extra bed to accommodate heavy bookings. ACIS attempts to prevent this but cannot guarantee that it will never happen. Some hotel rooms in France have a Grand Lit (an oversize double bed for two) instead of twin beds. Those who have paid the adult surcharge stay in double rooms in hotels but not on overnight ferries or trains.
An ACIS bus group is typically made up of two, three, or four groups from around the U.S. who quickly get to know each other and feel part of one overall group. Depending on the mix of male and female students in the bus group, students may be rooming with participants from other groups. Don't worry, this is a great way to meet new people and make some new friends!
The group leader will create a variety of rooming combinations before you leave, in order to make it easier for your tour manager to work out the rooming when you check in to your hotel.
Check-in time at most hotels is early to mid-afternoon. If you arrive overseas early in the morning, you likely have time to change money and do some exploring before you check in.
What will we have to eat?
You will enjoy a variety of meals en route, mixing both native and familiar cuisines depending on your area of travel. Keep an open mind and be willing to sample everything—that's what travel is all about!
Most days you will be served a continental breakfast that includes a variety of fresh rolls, cereal, pastry, butter and jam, coffee, tea or hot chocolate. In Australia and China, you will be served an American-style hot buffet breakfast. On trips to the Americas you may be served the traditional rice and beans. In some hotels in Britain, eggs or other items may be included. In Europe, the larger hotels sometimes serve eggs and other American-style breakfast items for an extra charge.
On most ACIS trips, you will enjoy lunch on your own. Be adventurous and experiment. Many travelers do what the locals do; instead of having an expensive restaurant meal, they buy fresh ingredients at a local market, then put together a sandwich and have a picnic lunch in a city park.
On most tours, beverages at dinner are not included. The are included on tours to China, Costa Rica, Peru, and occasionally other destinations. Sometimes your waiter may put soda or mineral water down on the table without being asked. Be aware that you will be charged for any beverages you consume.
Although ACIS will try to accommodate special-needs meals including kosher, vegetarian and low salt, we cannot guarantee all requests.
How much spending money will I need?
Spending needs vary depending on personal habits, but a typical allowance is $50 per day. This allows for lunch, snacks, soft drinks, postage, souvenirs, local transportation during free time, free-time activities, and optional excursions not already included in your itinerary. Most ACIS participants carry ATM cards, travelers checks and credit cards. ACIS has compiled all the information you need to know in Money Matters.
What should I pack?
Our advice is to pack light—you won't regret it! You will be responsible for carrying your own luggage on and off the bus, in and out of your hotel, and onto trains. Bring comfortable, practical clothes that you can wear more than once, with a few nice pieces thrown in.
Remember to pack clothes that you can layer as the weather can be unpredictable. Lastly, try to avoid bringing new shoes. New shoes can be tough to break in and you'll want to make sure your shoes are comfortable and reliable. For more information specific to your trip, log into My Account for a detailed packing list.
What about calling home?
Calling home from overseas can be expensive and obtaining local phone cards can be complicated and time consuming. The best way to call is with an ACIS eKit Global Phonecard or Global Mobile Phone. Using the eKit card can save you up to 70% on international and U.S. long distance calls compared to pay phones and hotel phones. Simply charge up your eKit card with the credit card of your choice and it will be ready for use. In addition to cheap calls home, the ACIS eKit Global Phonecard offers you email, Voicemail, the ability to listen to email over the phone and much more!
Another option is the ACIS eKit Global Mobile phone. With a variety of pre-paid plans available, this mobile phone can save you up to 70% on global roaming rates.
Do I have travel insurance?
Yes. Your ACIS Registration Fee includes coverage under our Basic Protection Plan. ACIS recommends you upgrade your insurance coverage by purchasing the Ultimate Protection Plan designed specifically for you travel needs. With the Ultimate Protection Plan, you may cancel for any reason up to the day of departure and receive a cash refund. You will also receive expanded travel protection while on tour.
I am signed up for an ACIS tour. How do I access my account?
You can get your latest account information online—any time, any day. To view your most up-to-date itinerary and account status, just, log in to My Account with your Account ID and password, which can be found in the upper-right hand corner of your invoice.

I never had any issues with my HR44 seeing my GenieGo running the current NR
Well, I've now noticed that my HR34 is not able to see the GenieGo via OOH. When I pull up the DirecTV for iPad app, no shows from the HR34 are visible in the PlayList. The HR34 PlayList is also not seen on the iPhone app. I'll try a new software version for the HR34 next week. My HR24 is still showing up fine though and has never had an issue.

For those having GG intermittent playlist connections, over time I have found the following helps and solves things most of the time.
-Avoid using HR44 wireless as the internet bridge. Use wired connections. Supported DECA, CCKs, etc
-Try to avoid switches, repeaters extenders etc.
-If you must use a switch, put the GG and DECA internet connection to the same switch. Some cables going to one switch and another to the router will cause hiccups.
The above won't solve the HR24-500 issues all the time but usually intermittent playlists or missing playlists are solved with all wired connections coming back to one common router as direct as possible.
Posted 13 June 2014 - 07:12 PM
sigh... I'm still having problems with this. My GenieGo can see both HR24s but only the playlist from one (HR24-500 not the 200)

Mine worked fine for about 3 weeks now I'm seeing the issues described here. I see one HR-21 consistently, I cannot see my HR-34, and I can see my other HR-21 intermittently. Hopefully over time this will all sort itself out, but the one time I actually needed to use this product since we are going away on vacation, it's not working. Tried pretty much everything mentioned in this thread
Posted 15 August 2014 - 10:59 AM
I'm having this problem with my GG1 and HR44. Thing worked fine for weeks since I got my HR44. Suddenly a couple days ago, I can't see any programs on my HR44. I tried power cycling the GG1. This weekend, I'll try power cycling my switch, HR44 and GG1.
Posted 18 August 2014 - 08:29 PM
Just started having this issue as well although not sure as to when.
I have power cycled everything, I think its a bug in the latest version of iPad app 3.0.2.
I have the older version on another iPad 2.6.5 and it sees both DVRs. (HR22-300 and HR34-700)
Another odd thing is the older version of the app sees the genie and its clients, while the new version sees them and then they disappear.

I've seen it take up to 30 mins for GG2 to see all DVRs. Longer than GG1.
Let the system settle down for at least 30 mins.
And if you are using Android or iOS apps, kill the app completely so it has to start up from scratch. Sometimes the apps don't restore all network connections when running in the background.
Posted 30 August 2014 - 08:33 AM
Posted 30 August 2014 - 08:35 PM
Now GG2 will no longer see my HR44. MRV and all else works fine. Others 24s are found. Reset all receivers. Reset GG2. Delete and reinstalled app. No go.
Call DirecTV® and request a receiver callback for the HR44

A recent thread in the public forums, which you may have seen already, brings to light some new possibilities that I would like to cover today. So far in this series we've been talking about new offerings of the updated SDK and the code within; part of that development lifecycle would optimally include some…
This entry is part 4 of 5 in the series Sentinel Collector SDK 2014 UpdatesFor the past while this series has been covering some of the powerful updates present in the 2014 Preview version of the new Sentinel SDK, which is used for creating various types of Sentinel plugins (collectors, reports, solution packs, actions, etc.)…
Earlier this week I stumbled upon this because of some sloppy editing of an instances.0 file, which is the file on Linux/Unix which tells eDirectory of all of the possible instances owned by the 'root', aka UID 0, user. The file is held under /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/.edir/ (or under $NDSBASE/etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/.edir/ for those running a non-root install under…
This document explains how to make iManager work with Apache in a modern server environment without support for mod_jk. The servers tested are x86_64 RHEL6 / CentOS6 but these instructions apply to SUSE platforms as well.
Cool tool to monitor all the LDAP operations happening against any eDirectory Server.
How fast can logins happen from a single client? How can I generate events for auditing for testing purposes? How much load can a single client put on eDirectory? Find out all that and more with one quick script: ldapbind.pl
Have you got multiple copies of eDirectory on a Linux server and want all instances of eDirectory to start when you boot? This script can start all instances of eDirectory on a server at boot time, and can shut them all down gracefully at shutdown.
IDM Driver monitoring solution for Linux
Marcel Cox provides a few suggestions for getting iManager to respond more quickly when running on NetWare.

New Delhi: Former women players who turned out for the country have appealed to the Indian cricket board for a one-time pay-out as was done for their male counterparts from the profits of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) last week decided to disburse Rs. 70 crore from its coffers accruing from the IPL and Champions League T20 tournaments to former Test and first-class cricketers who retired prior to 2004.
Former women cricketers are happy at the BCCI's gesture and said they should also be included in the one-time payment scheme. "The BCCI should include us since women's cricket is also part of it since 2006," said Diana Edulji, the former captain and a top class left-arm spinner.
"It is good that the board is helping the former players and it would be great if they include women cricketers also in the benefit scheme. In fact, it is great that the widows of the former players are also part of it. It is a small amount for the board and a big boon for women players," said Diana, who played 34 one-day internationals (ODI) and 20 Tests from 1976-93 and is also an Arjuna Awardee.
Diana said that they have approached top BCCI officials and they were receptive. "I spoke to [BCCI member and IPL chairman] Rajiv Shukla and [secretary] Sanjay Jagdale two weeks ago and they said they were considering our case. I am waiting for a response from them."
Another former captain, Shubhangi Kulkarni, concurred with Diana and said the one-off pay-out would be a great gesture as we are also covered by the Board's pension scheme. "Thanks to Sharad Pawar's intervention, we came under the pension scheme along with the men players. Now that the men have been paid, we should also be treated on a par with them," said Kulkarni, who played for India in 27 ODIs and 19 Tests between 1976-91.
Asked what the Board's thinking about the women players' request, BCCI vice-president Niranjan Shah said: "As of now, it is only at the consideration stage and we will soon take a decision."

Here's a Seattle Times story that talks about one of the NFL prospects in Saturday's Las Vegas Bowl meeting between Washington (7-5) and Boise State (10-2) at Sam Boyd Stadium (12:30, ESPN). Desmond Trufant is the No. 5 rated cornerback on NFLDraftScout.com, right behind Oregon State's Jordan Poyer
One reason Desmond Trufant chose to become a Washington Husky was to chart his own course.
That doesn't mean he was ever running from the family name created by older brothers Marcus, a star at Washington State before entering a long career with the Seahawks, and Isaiah, who played at Eastern Washington and is now with the New York Jets.
The family legacy, he said "was more of a motivation than pressure. I saw all their success and it made me work even harder to get to that point."
And as he enters his final college game with Saturday's MAACO Bowl Las Vegas against Boise State at 12:30 p.m., he appears on track to reaching that destination — if not having gone down the exact same road.
Trufant was the only Husky named to the All-Pac-12 first team as a cornerback, turning in a season that has him seemingly certain to be taken in the NFL draft next April. The only question is how high.
"There's not an elite senior corner this year and he's right now in the mix to be the second or third highest-rated cornerback," ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said last week. "He has great blood lines, a very athletic kid, just a solid, solid football player who seems to relish being out on that island in man-to-man situations. He's the kind of guy in the second- and third-round areas where you would expect him to come off the board."Keep reading about Desmond Trufant ... some thoughts on the Vegas Bowl from Brent Musberger ... another Trufant story, this one in the Tacoma paper

Portland Timbers drew 1-1 with San Jose Earthquakes in the first of their preseason tournament matches at JELD-WEN Field.
Kip Kesgard, OregonLive community blogger.
Kalif Alhassan put the Timbers ahead in the 15th minute with a speculative chip from the left wing that left the Earthquakes' keeper Jon Busch stranded. San Jose leveled the score in the 59th minute when the unfortunate Hanyer Mosquera put the ball in his own net.
The temperature was in the mid 30s but that didn't deter the crowd of over 16,000 who were in fine voice for the duration of the match.

HARTSLLE, Alabama - After drug agents from Morgan County and Hartselle received a tip that a local man was selling methamphetamine three weeks after his initial arrest, they went to a home Wednesday at 417 Pearl St. and arrested two people.
Jason Wayne Weeks, 34, and Tamra Dunn, 30, were each charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Sheriff Ana Franklin.
Weeks was taken to Morgan County Jail and held on $200,000 bond and is expected to have his previous bond revoked, the sheriff said. Dunn's bond was set at $100,000.
Franklin said agents received a tip Weeks "was possibly selling methamphetamine again" after he was arrested Feb. 26, along with several other people, in the same home. They also learned Dunn, who had several outstanding drug warrants, was at the home.
"Agents made contact with Mrs. Dunn along with Mr. Weeks in the rear bedroom of the residence," Franklin said. "Agents discovered several grams of methamphetamine along with syringes used for shooting up meth."
Franklin reminds residents that anyone with information about someone making meth, or any drug activity, should call the Morgan County Sheriff's Office at 256-351-4816 or 256-773-6534.

A Jefferson Parish grand jury indicted a Harvey man with murder and separately handed up charges against a Terrytown man in the rape of a girl.
Kevon J. Robinson, 17, was indicted on a charge of second-degree murder in the Sept. 1 death of Bryant Williams in Harvey.
Williams, 33, was shot in the forehead and chest, and deputies found his body in front of an apartment in the 4200 block of Lac Bienville Drive, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.
Robinson is held in the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna in lieu of a $750,000 bond set Thursday by Judge Donnie Rowan of the 24th Judicial District Court.
If convicted of the charge, Robinson would spend the rest of his life in prison.
Separately, Joel Orellana, 27, was indicted with the aggravated rape of juvenile. The victim was 9 years old when she allegedly was abused by Orellana in June 2009.
Assistant District Attorney Amanda Calogero said Thursday Orellana was acquainted with the girl's family, and the alleged rape happened in a Terrytown apartment.
Orellana is held in jail in lieu of a $500,000 bond. Aggravated rape carries a mandatory life sentence in prison upon conviction.

Ok, I've read it. By now, most of you have read it. If not, as a Met fan, skimming through at least to page seven is acceptable. Overall, there was a lot of informative information to be taken in from the Fred Wilpon/Bernie Madoff article in yesterday's New Yorker Magazine. This is not a "Mets" story as much as it is a portrait of a man. However, to most Met fans, page seven is where the article both starts and finishes.
Kind of ironic don't you think? The number seven? Seven train...number seven Jose Reyes...page seven? While not page seven in the newsstand version of the New Yorker, it is page seven in the web-version of the article in which Fred Wilpon causes his stir. However, I ask, what exactly did he stir? Did he really take shots at his players as much as he did at himself?
Honesty is the most potent form of flattery. In fact, if honesty were a color inside of this portrait of a man, it would be the most dominant color. Yes perhaps Fred Wilpon is a "schmuck" for not knowing how to keep his lips a little bit tighter, but I respect him for owning up to being the honest "schmuck in New York" who offered Carlos Beltran $119M based on his 2004 playoff performance. Wilpon was honest in the same way about Beltran as he was by calling David Wright, "not a superstar". After all, he's not...
Furthermore, on page seven, was it not Fred Wilpon that in regard to Jose Reyes stated, "He's a Racehorse"? Again, there was honesty. As a fan, an honest one at that, I too have echoed those same sentiments about Jose Reyes numerous times. However, it is the contract talk, the "taboo" subject, which has Wilpon's remarks about Reyes being labeled as ones that are "disparaging". As I have already partaken in this discussion with others both in and away from Always Amazin', what exactly makes Jose Reyes believe that he is worth what Carl Crawford got to relocate to Boston? Fred Wilpon was again just being honest...an honest schmuck...an honest fan.
Consequently, it is Fred Wilpon, who was interviewed for this article throughout the course of a routine day at Citi Field, who to me, was both profiled and illustrated as who Fred Wilpon really is. Aside from being honest, above all Wilpon was profiled as a New York Met baseball fan. Sure he is the owner. Sure he pays people like Jay Horowitz to coach public speaking and—attempt to—cleanup the negativities, however to me, negative or positive, page seven showcased Fred Wilpon in his rawest form.
With honesty comes accountability. And while accountability has undoubtedly bounced around the Met boardroom in recent years, it was the man at the top, directly or indirectly, who through his interview displayed some of the highest levels of Met honesty and accountability ever displayed. It was all there on page seven.

Off-Season – But Not Time Off
Giants batting coach Hensley "Bam-Bam" Meulens is wasting no time diving into his new job. He has gathered John Bowker, Travis Ishikawa, Nate Schierholtz and minor-league first baseman Brett Pill for a six-day hitting clinic at AT&T starting on Monday. Then he'll fly down to Venezuela with Bowker, who will play winter ball in that country's extremely competitive league. Schierholtz is going to Puerto Rico. (I'm not sure yet what the other two are doing.)
I'll try to grab some time with Meulens during a break in the action on Monday and share what I learn.
I'm going down to Arizona on Tuesday with some of the video guys from the Giants. We'll be checking in with Pablo Sandoval, who is in the midst of his own personal conditioning camp with team trainers.
Pablo ended his spectacular season with the second-best batting average in the National League (.330), 3rd in doubles (44), 4th in hits (189), 6th in total bases (318) and slugging percentage (.556), 7th in extra base hits (74). But he wants to get better, so he has committed himself not only to developing a new regimen of physical exercise but also to learning how to eat healthy. He also wants to work on improving his English pronunciations and educate himself about Facebook and blogging – all for the purpose of communicating and connecting more with the fans.
Got a text-message from Tim Lincecum earlier this week. He's in Seattle right now visiting family but will be back in SF next week and will stay through the winter. He, too, is developing a workout regimen to get even stronger. He seems to be all-muscle already – his percentage of body fat has got to be almost zero. So I'm not sure what exactly he wants to improve. I hope to chat with him when he's back in town and will let you know.
The Giants held a three-hour meeting Wednesday of the entire staff. They went over highlights of the 2009 season and laid out plans and goals for 2010. (Orange Fridays are coming back!) There was particular focus, as you might imagine, on improving offensive production, including a better on-base percentage and a more consistent one-through-five batting lineup. Brian Sabean's staff talked of identifying possible trades or free-agent signings. Any trade, managing general partner Bill Neukom explained, would have to meeting the following criteria:
· Does this player significantly improve the team's win-loss record?
· How much money will he cost?
· How much talent do the Giants give up for him?
· Does this player's arrival thwart the progress of a top homegrown prospect?
· Does this player fit in with the team chemistry?
What struck me most, though, in the meeting was how much was accomplished in 2009 – and what a great foundation it provides for next season and beyond.
Some 2009 facts that stand out:
· Best home record in the NL and improved overall record by 16 wins over 2008.
· Best starting rotation in baseball (fewest runs allowed, most shutouts and most strikeouts). Lincecum led the league in strikeouts for the second consecutive year, was the 2009 All-Star Game starting pitcher and again was named NL Sporting News Pitcher of the Year.
· Bullpen strength: Jeremy Affeldt led the NL in holds (33) and Brian Wilson tied for third in the NL in saves (38).
· Great team chemistry: This team – in particular, the relatively unknown group of young players — won the hearts of the fans. And they did so by working hard day in and day out and playing with excitement and energy. As a result, Giants' attendance stayed nearly the same this year from last year – even in a down economy — and the team set record television ratings (up 37 percent on Comcast over 2008). The veterans were fantastic with the young guys – everyone from Randy Johnson to Edgar Renteria to Juan Uribe stepped up as unofficial mentors and teachers.
· The deepening pool of emergent talent: Five of the Giants' seven minor-league teams reached the championship game in their respective leagues (three teams won championships). The Giants' affiliates combined for the best record among all major-league organizations. Catcher Buster Posey was named Topps/Minor League Player of the Year. Others, such as Madison Bumgarner, Roger Kieschnick and Brandon Crawford, established themselves as exceptional prospects. This is a great sign that the Giants' investment in the farm system is paying off.
· Valuable late-season experience: Playing meaningful baseball in September gave younger players a foundation on which they can build in the seasons to come.
Here's something else from the meeting that I loved, though it has nothing to do with baseball. The Giants made a real commitment to making AT&T the greenest ballpark in the country. In 2008, it managed to recycle 40 percent of all the garbage and other waste. In 2009, it recycled 67 percent. Pretty amazing.
More next week.
The Art of Chemisty
Before the All-Star break, I was talking to Aaron Rowand about Juan Uribe. Uribe is such a popular guy in the clubhouse, and I knew almost nothing about him. Rowand and Uribe had played together in Chicago.
"He's always laughing," Rowand said. "He likes messing with everybody."
Rowand was standing in the dugout before batting practice. Pablo Sandoval bounded up the steps past us and onto the field. Then Jeremy Affeldt. And Tim Lincecum.
"When you look at this team, we have guys who like to have fun," Rowand said. "They're there to play baseball, but they know how to fun, too."
I asked him how important that is. Some people dismiss chemistry as a factor in a team's success. If you have talent, you win, no matter how well or poorly the players got along. Did Rowand think chemistry matters?
"Absolutely," he said.
And on this Giants team, he said, the chemistry has been evolving since the start of spring training.
"When you're putting a team together, it's not just about quality players. It's about quality people, too," he said. "There's the personality factor. If you don't get along, it's tough to play together on the field. I think unless you've played sports at a high level it might be hard to understand how much (good chemistry) means to playing well on the field. If everyone's going their separate ways, that can't help you play together as a team on the field.
"You've got to give a lot of credit to Brian Sabean for putting the rights guys together. We have guys here who are just coming into their own – Matty, Timmy, Brian Wilson. Then you add in guys who bring intensity, like Randy Johnson.
"He's been wonderful for the guys in here. He's intense but he'll laugh, joke around. He's not what we expected. We're very pleasantly surprised how personable he is with his teammates. We all feel really lucky to part of one of the biggest games of his career.
"There's no measurement for chemistry," Rowand said, "but it's big. It's bigger than I think people realize."
(If you haven't already seen it, look at the story on the front page of USA Today today (July 16) by Jorge Ortiz. It's all about chemistry, in particular how much fun the Giants are having this season.)
What We Saw in Johnsons 300th
When I watched Randy Johnson win his 300th on Thursday, I wished my 18-year-old son had watched with me. He's not a baseball fan, so he never watches (although he makes the occasional trip to AT&T Park with me, mostly for the garlic fries and churros).
But I wished he had watched Randy Johnson yesterday because he would have seen a 6-foot-10-inch example of the quality that I believe will determine his success in life: Perseverance.
We tell our kids all the time to work hard and keep trying. We know, because we've learned the hard way, that the only thing in life you really have control over is your effort. You can't control the results. You can only control how much work and energy you put into something.
Randy Johnson is 45 years old, an age when almost every other baseball player is buying longer belts and telling stories about the old days to the local Rotary Club. Johnson no longer has the fastball that made him the most ferocious pitcher of his generation. Yet he won his 300th game this week because he put in the work necessary to overhaul his pitching style.
It couldn't have been easy. You do something a certain way your whole life, then your body — or your financial circumstances, or your divorce or your downsized job — no longer allows it. You either give up or go through the uncomfortable process of learning a different way. I wanted to show that to my son.
Instead, I watched it without him. And I saw something about perseverance I had never fully understood. Even though Johnson shared credit with all his teammates over the years, he alone had to decide each winter to get out of bed every morning and put his middle-aged body through grueling workouts instead of hitting the golf course. He alone had to be willing to risk failure by trotting out to the mound for one more season, then another, when the safe move would have been to wave his cap and accept the applause and start writing his speech for the Hall of Fame.
Perseverance is an individual decision. My son, like each of us, has to choose it on his own. But I wonder if perseverance sometimes seems like an old-fashioned concept because we so rarely get to see what it looks like. Thursday, with Randy Johnson on the mound, we did.
Old Roomies Reunited
When Randy Johnson shows up in the Giants clubhouse this spring, he'll be reunited with his roommate from 21 years ago – bullpen coach Mark Gardner.
Mark and his late wife Lori moved into the spare bedroom in Johnson's apartment when Gardner was called up to Montreal's Triple A club in Indianapolis halfway through the 1988 season. They already knew each other from college – Johnson pitched for USC, Gardner for Fresno State – and from playing in the summer league in Anchorage and then both signed with the Expos in 1985.
"If I had to bet on him in 1985 winning the Cy Young, I wouldn't have put a nickel on him," Gardner said by phone from his home near Fresno.
He threw hard but didn't know how to pitch, Gardner said. He was easily rattled.
"To his credit, he did what he had to do," Gardner said. "He worked on his weaknesses, developing all the skills a pitcher needs beyond just throwing hard."
Johnson was a hard rocker type, Gardner preferred country music. But the two hit it off. They would barbecue and hang out at the pool. Johnson sometimes would go shopping at the mall with Lori if Mark was pitching that day.
Johnson was called up to the majors late in the season then was traded to Seattle the following spring.
"We really were never together again," Gardner said.
He said he hasn't talked with Johnson since he signed with the Giants but looks forward to catching up next month when pitchers and catchers report to spring training.
"From when I first saw him, he's come a long way," Gardner said. "He'll be great for our young guys, someone they can look up to. They can watch how he gets batters out even when he doesn't have his best stuff. Someone like Lincecum can learn a lot about how to pitch, how to control and work his fastball. He can see that if he stays healthy he might pitch until he's 45."
Lincecum will be among the Giants players, coaches, broadcasters and alumni at the KNBR 680/Giants Winter FanFest at AT&T Park on Saturday, February 7, from 10:00 to 3:00 p.m.
If you're down in San Jose, you can catch the Giants on Thursday
February 5, from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m. for a meet and greet at the Britannia Arms before the Sharks vs. Hurricanes game at HP Pavilion at 7:30 p.m. This sounds like fun. Sharks fans will "face off" with some of their favorite Giants at The Downtown Brit, which is located at 173 W. Santa Clara Street in the San Pedro Square district of downtown San Jose.
Giants players and coaches, including Lincecum, new comers Jeremy Affeldt and Bob Howry, Brian Wilson, Barry Zito, Fred Lewis, Emmanuel Burriss, Kevin Frandsen and others will be on hand to sign autographs, pose for photos and meet their South Bay fans. Giants media partners NBC Bay Area and CSN Bay Area will cover the event, and the team's Single-A affiliate, the San Jose Giants will also be on hand.
Giants players and coaches will attend the Sharks vs. Hurricanes game at 7:30 p.m., where Lincecum will drop the "first puck" immediately prior to the start of the game.
Hope to see you there.

Even as the strike began, the teachers union had an offer that promised average raises of 16 percent over four years. By Sunday, the union successfully pushed back against the city's attempted reforms. They've gotten all they can expect; now, it's time to get back to work.
Key concessions: Student test scores will remain part of new, annual teacher evaluations — which teachers opposed — but low-scoring teachers will be able to appeal. And while the union wanted guarantees that all open jobs would be filled with laid-off teachers, regardless of performance, the city wanted to hire the best candidates, regardless of experience. So the sides split the difference, agreeing that half of all teacher vacancies would go to laid-off teachers.
In the end, the reasonable demands of the school district were weakened and a city with a $1 billion deficit agreed to spend $74 million more each year on teacher salaries. And still, the union decided to extend its strike into this week, setting back the students and creating an enormous headache for families.
The strike in Chicago settles nothing. Across the nation, parents and schools are demanding more accountability from teachers. The methods aren't always perfect, but the goal is to improve teaching, a job that must start with a tough and fair evaluation system. A spirit of robust experimentation is called for.
The pity is that the union in Chicago — as with unions in New Jersey and many other districts across the country — seems more interested in protecting the status quo and its own privileges. The decision to continue this strike only underscores that.

MHS fitness center gains approval
Plans for a first floor fitness center at Mukwonago High School move forward after gaining unanimous approval from the Mukwonago Area School District Board of Education on Monday night.
Construction on the fitness center will start after the last day of school in June, in order to be completed for the beginning of the 2013-14 school year.
The project will be a tremendous boost to the new MHS fitness-based curriculum where almost 500 students are currently enrolled, MHS physical education teacher Jim Essman said.
"This will affect every kid," said Essman.
Watch for a complete story on the MHS fitness center in an upcoming issue of the Mukwonago Chief.

Whenever I buy a new *board I always fit aftermarket straps but this is because I prefer the fixed straps such as the DaKine Core Contours or Speed Straps. So far I have spoken to my dealer in advance and asked for these at a discount. Some dealers will even offer you a choice so it is always worth asking if you are unlucky enough to have feet that fall outside the range of the factory option. For my shoe size (a UK 9) the latest *Board Slick straps fit really well and are very good IMHO. I just prefer the ones I mention above hence not using them.

Capitol Digest provides an inside look at what happened in state politics this week. These quick reports offer insight into campaigns, committee meetings and other goings-on and give an overview of the coming week's events.
Foster Campbell, a perennial critic of Gov. Bobby Jindal, is criticizing the governor anew for his opposition to a massive damages lawsuit filed by the East Bank levee authority against 97 oil, gas and pipeline companies.
In an op-ed for The Shreveport Times, the outspoken utilities regulator from north Louisiana said Jindal was seeking to protect big oil companies responsible for coastal erosion and degradation to the detriment of the environment's long-term health and residents' safety.
Campbell, who earlier this month criticized the state Democratic party for remaining mute on the suit, blasted Jindal for replacing the levee board's vice chairman, John Barry, who spearheaded the legal action, and two other board members.
He also verbalized growing rumors that the state Legislature will try next year to reduce the levee board's authority and independence.
"Bobby Jindal ran for governor on good ethics, but in his reaction to the lawsuit against major oil companies over coastal erosion he has discarded that commitment," Campbell said.
"Jindal's actions undermine the people and institutions trying to protect Louisiana from coastal erosion and flooding. He is shielding from blame the companies partly responsible for the damage."
The governor's office did not comment on the op-ed. Louisiana Democratic Party Communications Director Kirstin Alvanitakis said Friday the state party will discuss the issue during a meeting of their state committee in the near future, most likely in December.
"This is an important issue to the people of Louisiana and our governing body will consider Commissioner Campbell's resolution at its earliest opportunity," said Alvanitakis
Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama were the only U.S. states to receive a grade of "F" for high rates of early births, according to the March of Dimes Prematurity Report Card.
The report card said Louisiana's premature birth rate stood at 15.3 percent, the second highest in the country after Mississippi's 17.1 percent. It's also much higher than the national average of 1 in 9.
The group is urging several measures, including better health care options before and during pregnancy, and anti-smoking campaigns for pregnant woman, to get the rate down to 9.6 percent by 2020.
Since black mothers give birth to a much higher rate of pre-term babies than other racial groups, the March of Dimes is also urging state lawmakers to look into and address inequities in health care access for minority groups.
The East Baton Rouge Republicans selected state Sen. Elbert Guillory to be their 2013 "Man of the Year," but the political party can't quite find the time to give the senator the award.
The "Man of the Year" banquet to honor Guillory, R-Opelousas, was supposed to take place Friday. But the local political party canceled the event suddenly earlier this week. East Baton Rouge Republicans had previously said the luncheon was one of the local party's most important annual fundraisers.
Woody Jenkins, chairman of the local political party, sent an email out Monday saying it had been postponed. He still plans to have an event to honor Guillory. It just might have to be held next year, in the spring.
"It is hard to put together at this time of year," Jenkins said Friday. "We couldn't really get it going."
Guillory began garnering attention when he switched parties earlier this year, becoming the first black state senator in Louisiana since Reconstruction. Then, a video he made about the defection went viral this summer, boosting him to national prominence and bringing with it a slew of speaking engagements and rumors of aspirations for higher office.
"I'm a new Republican and I have worked hard to get out the message that the Republican Party is the party of values," Guillory said of the local GOP award. "I've received a number of honors over the last 12 months."
Louisiana's sentencing laws need to be drastically revamped, both for the health of its citizens and of state coffers, according to a report released this week by three conservative research groups.
The study was the result of a partnership between self-described libertarian policy group the Reason Foundation along with the New Orleans-based Pelican Institute of Public Policy and Austin-based Texas Public Policy Foundation.
Recommendations for Louisiana lawmakers in the study included doing away with mandatory minimum sentences and changing the state's habitual offender laws so they only apply to violent and sex crimes.
Changes to sentencing laws in the last two decades have contributed to a doubling of the state's incarceration rate, now the highest in the nation. Attempts by New Orleans area lawmakers to do away last year with the habitual offender laws as they apply to marijuana offenses failed in the state Senate.
But, there have also been a few instances of the governor supporting the easing of harsh sentences, especially for drug addicts and juveniles. This gives those who produced the study hope their recommendations might ultimately lead to meaningful changes to state law.
The state has saved $10.7 million by refinancing its general obligation bonds this week, according to a press release from state Treasurer John Kennedy's office.
Kennedy said the refinance of more than $205 million in bonds will save taxpayers roughly $2.9 million a year for four years. But the refunding won't kick in until 2015 because the state utilized "delay draw," saving an extra $3.3 million by agreeing to push back the refund date.
State lawmakers from the Baton Rouge area will hold two community forums to educate locals on the Affordable Care Act and securing health insurance through the federal insurance exchanges.
State Reps. Patricia Haynes Smith, Regina Ashford Barrow, Dalton Honore, Alfred Williams and Ted James and state Sens. Sharon Weston Broome and Yvonne Dorsey Colomb will participate in the forums. All are Democrats and members of the Legislative Black Caucus.
"We want to take this opportunity to keep our citizens as informed as possible and help them. There are many parts of the new health care system that may be unclear to some, and we want to address the questions that we know members of the public may have," said Smith.
The forums will be held at 6 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 18 at OLOL Urgent Care Center at 5439 Airline Highway and Tuesday, Nov. 19 at McKinley High Alumni Center at 1520 Thomas H. Delpit Drive.
Attorney General Buddy Caldwell said individuals and groups are trying to scam black farmers by helping them file claims in the Black Farmers Discrimination Litigation -- a legal action against the USDA that has an opt in deadline that ended more than a year ago.
"There are individuals and organizations who may be holding meetings and charging a fee to help black farmers file claims and participate in lawsuits when the deadline to file a claim for the settlement was May 11, 2012," said Sam Pleasant, Director of the Attorney General's Public Protection Division.
Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood has also cautioned black farmers in his state to be wary of these scam artists.
The federal government agreed to the $1 billion settlement in October 2011, after it was determined that between 1981 and 1996 the USDA discriminated against African American farmers based on race by denying them farm loans or granting loans with unfair terms.
The Louisiana Association of Business and Industry has hired Camille Conaway as its new Vice President of Policy and Research.
The announcement marks the latest in a series of staffing changes for LABI, the state's premier business lobby, which began when former Jindal aid Stephen Waguespack took over as president in September.
Conaway has acted as a consultant and policy expert to Jindal, Blueprint Louisiana, the Baton Rouge Area Chamber and the Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association. A Baton Rouge native, she moved back to her hometown after Hurricane Katrina, giving up a job as a researcher at the United Nations.
The 35-year-old will lead LABI's policy research initiatives. According to a LABI press release, Conaway has particular experience in "state budget, K12 and higher education, ethics reform, transportation and public safety."
Southern University has been chosen to share in a $2.1 million federal government grant to research road, pavement and bridge sustainability. Prof. Alex Hak-Chui Shin will act as SU's representative to the five-university research group.
Shin's expertise is in concrete materials and pavement; he will be working on projects involving rapid pavement construction and the use of recycled materials in roadway construction.
SU will share the grant with the Missouri University of Science and Technology, which is heading the project, Rutgers University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Miami.
Monday (Nov.4), 11:30 a.m. -- Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpera and Louisiana State Employees' Retirement System Executive Director Cindy Rougeou will discuss the cost, funding level and investments of the state retirement system at the Press Club of Baton Rouge.
- Lunch is $12 for members and $15 for nonmembers (Iberville Room, Belle of Baton Rouge, 102 France St.)
Separate gatherings of the Joint Highway Priority Construction Committee will meet across the state over the next two weeks. Check the state Legislature's website for your local meeting.

Interested in hunting with a falcon?
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has announced that the examination for individuals seeking an apprentice license to practice the sport of falconry has been scheduled for 10 a.m. April 24 at DEC regional offices across the state. The deadline for applying to take the exam is April 3.
Falconry has a rich history throughout the world. In the United States, recognition and acceptance of falconry as a sport is promoted primarily through the efforts of dedicated enthusiasts. In New York State, the tradition is continued by over 200 licensed falconers. Falconry is a demanding sport which requires a significant commitment in time and effort. The novice must be prepared to accept the responsibility that is part of falconry.
All applicants will be sent a letter of confirmation with a list of locations around the state where the test will be given from 10 a.m. - noon on Friday, April 24. Though the applications are free, the cost of a two-year falconry license is $20.
To qualify for the DEC Apprentice Falconry License, applicants must be at least 14 years old, possess a valid New York small-game hunting license and maintain DEC-approved facilities for housing the raptors. Apprentices are limited to possessing one bird, either an American kestrel (a falcon also known as a "sparrow hawk") or a red-tailed hawk.
After two years as an apprentice, a falconer may qualify for a general license. Master falconers must have a minimum of seven years experience.
Information on the falconry exam may be obtained by calling 518-402-8985 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
