One year after the American League was christened in Chicago, the rumor of the St. Paul franchise in the Western League moving to Chicago became a reality. Playing as a Chicago baseball team for the first time, the White Stockings defeated the University of Illinois, 10-9, in Champaign.
On January 29, 1901, the American League drafted a 140-game schedule and declared itself to be a second Major League after the league's one-year agreement with the National League expired. The White Sox defeated Cleveland, 8-2, in the first "official" American League game on April 22.
The White Sox captured the league crown in 1906 when a group of "Hitless Wonders" pulled out a miracle. The team batted .230 that season (with only seven home runs) and struggled through July, but pulled back into the race with unbelievable pitching (2.13 team ERA) and a will to win. The White Sox win the 1906 World Series by defeating the Cubs, four game to two, in the only all-Chicago Fall Classic.
Behind Urban 'Red' Faber's three victories, the White Sox defeat the New York Giants, four games to two, in the 1917 World Series. During the regular season, Eddie Cicotte led the White Sox with 28 victories and a 1.53 ERA and Oscar "Happy" Felsch led the offensive attack with a team-high 6 HR and 102 RBI.
Comiskey Park opens on July 1 to a packed house but the Sox lose to St. Louis, 2-0. The new stadium replaced the 39th Street Grounds, home of the White Sox from 1900-10.
Charles Comiskey looked to the West for his third-base "missing link," as he had so often in the past. The Old Roman located his man playing for the Vernon club of the PCL. The final piece of the Black Sox puzzle was in place with the arrival of Charles "Swede" Risberg.
When the Reds defeated the heavily favored White Sox, five games to three, the floodgates opened. Word spread that gamblers allegedly had talked White Sox players into "fixing" the World Series in exchange for cash. Eight members of the Sox were charged in 1920 with conspiring to fix the outcome of the World Series.
Luke Appling turned in one of the greatest performances in White Sox history, capturing the American League batting title with a robust .388 batting average. Appling also enjoyed a club-record 27-game hitting streak, which ended on this date. "Old Aches and Pains," as he was known, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1964.
On April 30, Rookie pitcher Charlie Robertson hurled the first perfect game recorded in White Sox history. Tiger players believed that Robertson, a mediocre pitcher at best, was doctoring the ball with an illegal substance. Ty Cobb personally inspected every inch of Robertson's uniform but could not find any trace of grease or any other foreign matter.
The newly-expanded Comiskey Park debuted on April 20 with the White Sox losing to Cleveland, 5-4. The new outfield upper deck accommodated 23,200 additional fans.
The first All-Star Game was played in Chicago on July 6, 1933, as part of the World Fair. The American League won in dramatic fashion, 4-2, on a three-run home run by the legendary Babe Ruth.
The first night game took place at Comiskey Park on August 14 before a crowd of 30,000 fans. The White Sox defeated the Browns by a score of 5-2.
Pat Seerey was a one-man wrecking crew for one game on July 18 at Philadelphia's Shibe Park. The portly left fielder became the only White Sox player to hit four home runs in a game, a 12-11, 11-inning Chicago victory. Seerey dented the roof twice, cleared it once and punctuated the day with a game-winning blast in the 11th inning.
In 1951, for the first time in 20 seasons, the great Luke Appling was no longer the heart and soul of the White Sox. But his retirement a year earlier left only a temporary void. Three key additions southpaw Billy Pierce, second baseman Jacob Nelson "Nellie" Fox and outfielder Orestes "Minnie" Minoso breathed new life into the team and brought winning baseball back to the South Side. The year also marked the beginning of the "Go-Go" era of the White Sox.
The All-Star Game was held again at Comiskey Park on July 11, and the National League won in dramatic fashion, 4-3, on a Red Schoendienst home run in the 14th inning. The NL had tied the game in the ninth inning on Ralph Kiner's home run. Ted Williams sustained a broken elbow running into the outfield wall in the first inning, and ended up missing two months of the season.
The White Sox tallied a franchise record 29 runs at Kansas City on April 23. Sherm Lollar was 5-6 with a pair of home runs and five RBI while reserve outfielder Bob Nieman and infielder Walt Dropo drove in seven runs apiece inthe 29-6 victory.
Luis Apparicio replaces Chico Carrasquel as the White Sox' everyday shortstop. Aparicio, who played 10 seasons with the White Sox, was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1984 and had his #11 retired by the Sox in the same year.
Bill Veeck and his partners gain majority control of the White Sox after a lengthy court battle with the Comiskey heirs. Veeck, owner of the Indians, Browns and White Sox during his lifetime, consistently broke attendance records with pennant-winning teams and with outragous door prizes, enthusuiastic fan participation and ingenious promotional schemes. An inventerate hustler and energetic maverick, He introduced a midget player (Eddie Gaedel), Bat Day, fireworks, exploding scoreboards and player names on backs of uniforms.
The White Sox and Indians battled for the crown in 1959, and the White Sox came out on top. Thanks to Wynn's 22 victories, Aparicio's 56 stolen bases, center fielder Jim Landis' superb defense, a solid pitching staff (3.29 team ERA) and the August 25 acquisition of slugging first baseman Ted Kluszewski, the team won 94 games. On September 22, the sound of air-raid sirens rang through Chicago as the White Sox became champions of the American League for the first time in 40 years.
Bill "Moose" Skowron and "Smoky" Burgess were late-season additions to the 1964 Chicago White Sox who finished one game out of first place with a 98-64 record. Five memebers of the Sox pitching staff won double-digits games and Ron Hansen and Pete Ward topped the 20 home run plateu.
The All-Star Game returned to Comiskey Park where it began 50 years earlier. The American League exploded for seven runs in the third inning en route to a 13-3 pounding of the National League, snapping an 11-game losing streak in the midsummer classic.
On the last day of the season, 'Beltin' Bill Melton becomes the first White Sox player to win an American League home run crown when he hits number 33 against Milwaukee's Bill Parsons.
Bill Veeck's South Side Hitmen brought raw power and heart-pumping drama to Comiskey Park in the summer of '77. The team shattered the club record with 192 home runs (later broken in 1996) and enjoyed a first-place reign throughout July and the first half of August. In the end, the White Sox won 90 games but finished 12 games back of the Royals.
On January 29, 1981, a new era in White Sox baseball began. An ownership group headed by Jerry Reinsdorf and Eddie Einhorn purchased the club from a group headed by Bill Veeck. Reinsdorf and Einhorn gave the club instant credibility just a few weeks later by signing free agent catcher Carlton Fisk, a World Series hero with the Red Sox in 1975.
Propelled by a landslide second half of the season, Tony LaRussa's White Sox surprised everyone in baseball by winning 99 games and capturing the American League Western Division by a whopping 20 games. It was the first trip to the playoffs by the Sox since the 1959 World Series.
Old Comiskey Park hosted its final season of White Sox baseball, and what a season it was. The youngest team in baseball surprised everyone by winning 94 games. White Sox fans packed the 80-year-old shrine for most of the season, and the festive final weekend was fraught with emotion and nostalgia.
Stately new Comiskey Park officially opened its doors on April 18 before a sell-out crowd of 42,191 fans. For the year, the new home of the White Sox welcomed a club-record 2,934,154 fans. Also that summer, former White Sox owner Bill Veeck is inducted into the Hall of Fame.
A youth movement had been brewing on the South Side since 1990. With a core of young stars like Frank Thomas, Jack McDowell and Robin Ventura, the White Sox were hungry for a trip to the post-season. Sparked by a speed, a solid starting rotation and a breakout year for Thomas, the White Sox won 94 games and captured their second-ever American League Western Division flag.
One of the most promising seasons in White Sox history ended abruptly on August 12, as the major league players walked out on strike. The devastating work stoppage also wiped out the playoffs and the World Series. When play on the field ceased, the White Sox were in first place with a record of 67-46.
In Boston's Fenway Park, Frank Thomas blasted his 215th career home run to surpass Carlton Fisk as the White Sox all-time leader. Thomas went deep three times in the game, the first three-homer game of his career.
The White Sox have hosted the All-Star Game four times, including the inaugural contest in 1933, but 2003 marked the first time at U.S. Cellular Field. Magglio Ordonez (left), Carl Everett (right), and Esteban Loaiza represented the White Sox in the game. For the first time ever, home-field advantage in the World Series was awarded to the winning league. Loaiza started the game for the AL, which won a 7-6 thriller on Hank Blalock's late home run.
It started with six victories on a grueling, 10-game road trip to begin the season. It ended with a dramatic loss in Game Three of the American League Division Series that came down to the final at-bat. Along the way, the Chicago White Sox a fearless, aggressive and fun team with a championship heart captured the AL Central Division title and produced a storybook season that ranks among the greatest in club history.
On January 31, U.S. Cellular and the White Sox sign a 23-year, $68-million naming rights agreement as the former Comiskey Park, opened in 1991, becomes U.S. Cellular Field. Revenue from the agreement will allow the White Sox and the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority undertake significant structural renovations to the ballpark in time for Opening Day 2005.
The Ozzie Guillen era began with a bang and ended a little more quietly, as the White Sox finished above .500 once again but also failed to make the postseason for the fourth consecutive season.
Guillen dealt with season-ending injuries to Frank Thomas' left ankle and Magglio Ordonez's left knee, while pitchers Scott Schoeneweis and Cliff Politte, outfielder/designated hitter Carl Everett and second baseman Roberto Alomar also missed significant time due to injuries.
But there were plenty of upbeat moments. Paul Konerko set career highs with 41 home runs and 117 RBIs, taking over in the middle of the lineup, while Mark Buehrle produced another solid 16-victory season. Shingo Takatsu saved 19 games in 20 chances as the team's first Far Eastern import, while Juan Uribe also emerged as a viable everyday contributor as a middle infielder, after being acquired from Colorado.
The goal for the White Sox in 2005 is a team based more on defense, speed and pitching, a move made more likely by the in-season pick-ups of right-handers Freddy Garcia and Jose Contreras, coupled with the requisite power and Guillen's unabashed energy.
The White Sox entered the 2005 season merely hoping to earn their first playoff appearance since 2000, but by winning the franchise's first World Series in 88 years, the Sox shocked the baseball world. Led by an effective small-ball offense and dominant postseason pitching, Chicago reached its peak in October, taking just one loss throughout the playoffs. After sweeping the Boston Red Sox in the American League Division Series, the White Sox handled the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in a five-game ALCS and swept the Houston Astros in the Fall Classic.
Critical to Chicago's championship run were the moves of general manager Ken Williams, who signed catcher A.J. Pierzynski and versatile right-hander Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez in January before adding Japanese second baseman Tadahito Iguchi.
The White Sox were led to an American League-high 99 regular-season wins by their starting staff, which received win totals of 18, 16, 15 and 14 from Jon Garland, Mark Buehrle, Jose Contreras and Freddy Garcia, respectively. Carrying Chicago's offense was Paul Konerko, who hit .283 with 40 homers and 100 RBIs before re-signing with the Sox for five years in November. For guiding his club through its magical season, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was named the American League Manager of the Year.
While the expectation of a World Series repeat in 2006 may be ambitious, the White Sox closed 2005 as active as ever in their pursuit of success, acquiring veteran slugger Jim Thome from the Phillies before adding right-handed starter Javier Vazquez in a trade with the Diamondbacks.
The White Sox fell short of reaching the playoffs for a second straight season, let alone repeating their historic 2005 World Series championship effort, by finishing third in the AL Central with a 90-72 record. Four players topped 30 home runs in the same season for the first time in franchise history, with Jermaine Dye and Jim Thome surpassing 40. All five starting pitchers posted double-digit victories, led by 18 from Jon Garland, while Bobby Jenks became the third White Sox closer to reach the 40-save plateau. The team also had seven All-Stars: Dye, Thome, Jenks, Paul Konerko, A.J. Pierzynski, Mark Buehrle, amd Jose Contreras.
The most dismal season under the leadership of general manager Ken Williams and manager Ozzie Guillen ended with a 72-90 record and a third-place finish at 24 games behind Cleveland in the American League Central. However, the season had several historic individual efforts.
Mark Buehrle threw the franchise's 16th no-hitter on April 18 against the Rangers. The crafty southpaw, who also picked up his 100th career win during this particular campaign, faced the minimum 27 batters by issuing just one walk to Sammy Sosa in the fifth and then picking him off first base. Bobby Jenks became the first pitcher in club history to record back-to-back seasons of 40 saves. More importantly, the closer retired 41 straight batters from July 17 to Aug. 12 (42 outs), tying him with San Francisco's Jim Barr (1972) for the longest such streak in baseball history. And Jim Thome reached 500 career home runs in style, as his walk-off blast on Sept. 16 against the Angels' Dustin Moseley marked baseball's only member among the 23 in this exclusive club to reach 500 on a game-ender.
Williams certainly did not stand pat after the 2007 struggles. The White Sox entered 2008 with six new players, in SS Orlando Cabrera, OF Nick Swisher, 2B Alexei Ramirez, OF Carlos Quentin and relief pitchers Scott Linebrink and Octavio Dotel.
It was a team that defied preseason expectations and claimed its second American League Central crown during Ozzie Guillen's five years as manager. But the title run wasn't complete until an added Game No. 163, with the White Sox claiming a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Minnesota in the division tiebreaker at U.S. Cellular Field. Jim Thome's home run off of Nick Blackburn accounted for the game's only run, while Ken Griffey, Jr. threw out Michael Cuddyer at the plate to preserve a scoreless tie.
Young White Sox players emerged with the bat and on the mound. Carlos Quentin finished with 36 home runs, 100 RBIs and his first All-Star selection, despite missing the season's last month after fracturing a bone in his right wrist. Alexei Ramirez, a Cuban émigré, started as cold as the April weather but finished as the team's most consistent offensive weapon, earning him runner-up status in the AL Rookie of the Year balloting. Gavin Floyd, 25, led the team with 17 victories, while John Danks, 22, led all White Sox starters with a 3.32 ERA.
Injuries to Quentin, Scott Linebrink, Bobby Jenks, Jose Contreras, Joe Crede and Paul Konerko slowed the White Sox but didn't shut them down. Nonetheless, their postseason run was much sorter than the historic effort of 2005, as Tampa Bay eliminated the White Sox in four games during the AL Division Series.
The 2009 campaign was highlighted by an historic moment for the White Sox, but it was a great individual accomplishment by Mark Buehrle standing out amongst a subpar 79-83, third-place finish in the American League Central. On July 23, at U.S. Cellular Field, Buehrle tossed the second perfect game in franchise history and 18th in the history of the game during a 5-0 victory over the Rays. Buehrle fanned six in the 116-pitch effort, marking the second no-hitter of his illustrious career - both with umpire Eric Cooper behind the plate. This pitching gem was saved leading off the ninth inning by defensive replacement Dewayne Wise, who made a sprinting, leaping catch over the left-center field wall of Gabe Kapler's bid for a home run. Buehrle made a second straight bid for a perfect game by retiring the first 17 he faced in his next start on July 28 at the Metrodome, establishing a Major League record by setting down 45 straight from July 18-28. White Sox closer Bobby Jenks had a share of the old record at 41.
Rookie Gordon Beckham joined the White Sox on June 4, but not at his natural position of shortstop nor at second base, where he had worked during Spring Training. Beckham became the team's starting third baseman following just a week's worth of work at the position for Triple-A Charlotte. Beckham quickly moved to the second spot in the batting order and became an offensive force, hitting .270 with 14 home runs, 28 doubles and 63 RBIs, as he took home top rookie honors from Sporting News and the Players Choice voting. Beckham finished fifth in the official BBWAA selection. Scott Podsednik came back the team on May 1 and led the White Sox with his .304 average and 30 stolen bases. Veteran stalwarts such as Jim Thome and Jose Contreras were moved via trade before the start of September, but general manager Ken Williams set up his team for 2010 with the acquisition of starting pitcher Jake Peavy, reliever Tony Pena and outfielder Alex Rios. Peavy battled through ankle and elbow injuries but finished 3-0 with a 1.35 ERA in three starts for the White Sox.
It started poorly and ended worse. But in between the White Sox put together one of the best runs in franchise history to make an 88-win 2010 regular season truly memorable. The only thing looking memorable at the outset, when the White Sox found themselves at 24-33 and 9 1/2 games out of first on June 8, was the play of Alex Rios and Paul Konerko. After a miserable 2009 run to close after coming to the White Sox via a waiver claim, Rios fell nine home runs short of becoming the first 30-homer, 30-stolen base player to ever suit up for the White Sox. Meanwhile, the White Sox captain wrote another perfect chapter on how to handle the walk-away year into free agency. Konerko finished with a .312 average, 39 home runs and 111 RBIs in what just might have been the last of 12 seasons he has spent on the South Side of Chicago. Of the five remaining players from the 2005 World Series Championship, Konerko, catcher A.J. Pierzynski, closer Bobby Jenks and hurler Freddy Garcia all could depart, leaving only Mark Buehrle.
Alexei Ramirez had a breakout year with both the glove and the bat at shortstop, lining him up for possible postseason honors in both categories. Gordon Beckham wasn't as fortunate at second base, fighting through the worst slump of his career and then losing much of September to a hand injury. Jake Peavy suffered a season-ending torn right latissimus dorsi in his right posterior shoulder, basically costing him the season's final three months, while Jenks battled through a number of strange, freakish injuries, limiting his effectiveness out of the bullpen. Hard-throwing left-handed setup man Matt Thornton emerged as a possible closer and first-time All-Star, joined by Konerko in the Midsummer Classic. J.J. Putz entered the White Sox relief crew and set a team record with 27 straight scoreless appearances. But even this success, along with the late-season waiver claim of Manny Ramirez, wasn't enough to catch the Twins in the AL Central. A 28-8 run gave the White Sox a 3½-game lead on July 20, but a 2-12 September collapse all but sealed their second-place fate. A season-ending win left manager Ozzie Guillen with 600 victories in his seven-year career, but this season was probably best or worst defined by the ongoing tensions between the White Sox manager and general manager Ken Williams. Both men returned for the 2011 season, Guillen's last guaranteed under his current contract.
The 2011 season marked the end of an era on the South Side of Chicago, as the eight-year working relationship between manager Ozzie Guillen, general manager Ken Williams and the White Sox came to a close. Guillen was let out of the last year of his contract to pursue other opportunities, with the manager ending up as the Marlins man in charge two days later. This conclusion seemed inevitable as the relationship between Guillen and Williams fell apart over the past two years. The working partnership wasn't helped by the White Sox going all-in with a franchise-record payroll of $127 but being all out of postseason competition by Labor Day.
On the positive side, Paul Konerko and Juan Pierre each reached 2,000 career hits and Konerko put together his second straight season with at least a .300 average, 30 homers and 100 RBIs. Chris Sale once again was a force out of the bullpen, earning him the chance to move into the starting rotation for the 2012 campaign, while Mark Buehrle put together his 11th straight season with double-digit victories, at least 200 innings pitched and at least 30 starts made.
But Adam Dunn had a historically dismal first season with the White Sox, Alex Rios and Gordon Beckham struggled offensively and Jake Peavy battled through injuries as he came back from 2010 season-ending surgery to reattach his lat muscle. These shortcomings and the team's lofty payroll commitment produced a modified rebuild during the offseason, with Sergio Santos and Carlos Quentin being traded and Mark Buehrle leaving for Florida via free agency.
In a 2012 season that was defined early as a modified rebuild, the White Sox held down first place in the American League Central for 117 days before a final 15-game fade helped the Tigers to claim the division title. Robin Ventura's quiet cool at the helm made him the perfect fit as the team's new manager, despite the well-respected All-Star third baseman never having have coached previously at the professional level.
Chris Sale proved to be one of the AL's most talented starting pitchers in just his first year as part of the rotation. Adam Dunn, Alex Rios and Jake Peavy bounced back from dismal 2011 campaigns with great comeback efforts, and A.J. Pierzynski's apparent final season with the White Sox was one of his best during eight in Chicago.
Year 2 of general manager Rick Hahn's reshaping process produced 10 more wins than the 2013 total, but more importantly showed off first baseman Jose Abreu as a star of the future. Abreu was named the American League Rookie of the Year with his .317 average, 37 homers, 107 RBIs and Major League-leading .581 slugging percentage. Hahn built on the team's strong young core including Abreu, Chris Sale, Avisail Garcia, Adam Eaton and Carlos Rodon, by making eight impact additions after the season. Those moves, including right-hander Jeff Samardzija, first baseman Adam LaRoche and closer David Robertson, set up the White Sox to contend for the playoffs in 2015.
The 2015 White Sox finished fourth in the American League Central standings with a 76-86 record, despite visions of grandeur going into the season due to a series of what looked to be high-impact offseason additions - Melky Cabrera, Jeff Samardzija, David Robertson, Adam LaRoche and Zach Duke. Chris Sale broke Ed Walshs single-season franchise strikeout record of 269, set in 1908, by fanning 274 in 208 2/3 innings. Jose Abreu joined Albert Pujols as the only Major League players to record at least 30 homers and 100 RBIs in each of their first two seasons, but the offense struggled as a group. Carlos Rodon, the third selection overall in the 2014 MLB Draft, made an impressive debut and established himself as part of the starting rotation.
The White Sox pushed for playoff contention once again in 2016. They added Todd Frazier in an offseason three-team trade with the Dodgers and Reds to anchor third base, while prying loose Brett Lawrie from Oakland to play second base. They also brought in free agent catchers Alex Avila and Dioner Navarro, veteran infielder Jimmy Rollins, center fielder Austin Jackson and pitcher Mat Latos to round out their rotation. The season started better than expected, with the White Sox producing 17 victories in April despite having exactly one scheduled off-day. Their high-water mark came on May 9 in Texas, when the White Sox claimed a 12-inning victory on Frazier's grand slam and improved to 23-10 with a six-game lead in the American League Central. It all went downhill from there, with the team posting a 10-26 record over their next 36 games and eventually finishing with a 78-84 mark and fourth-place finish in the division. The team dealt with a plethora of injuries, including important season-ending maladies suffered by Jackson (knee) and relievers Jake Petrica (hip) and Zach Putnam (elbow).
A fourth straight season of finishing under .500, albeit with the first two seasons being geared toward a modified rebuild, caused general manager Rick Hahn to describe his team as "mired in mediocrity." Robin Ventura's five-year managerial tenure came to an end, with his contract expiring after '16 and Ventura choosing not to return. Bench coach Rick Renteria, who previously spent one year managing the Cubs, replaced Ventura with third-base coach Joe McEwing moving to his bench coach and Nick Capra (third base) and Curt Hasler (bullpen) rounding out Renteria's staff. One-time White Sox second baseman Chris Getz replaced Capra as the team's Minor League director.
Chris Sale and Jose Quintana were selected as American League All-Stars, with Sale earning the honor for the fifth time in five years as a member of the starting rotation. Sale won each of his first nine starts and had a 1.58 ERA with three complete games at that point. He matched a career-high at 17 victories and fanned 233 over a career-best 226 2/3 innings. Quintana also set a career-high with 13 victories and posted his fourth straight season with at least 200 innings pitched.
Frazier reached 40 homers for the first time in his career and wound up two short of 100 RBIs. Tim Anderson made a triumphant rookie debut at shortstop, hitting .283 with 37 extra-base hits over 99 games, while Adam Eaton produced Gold Glove-caliber defense in right field. After not hitting a home run during the month of July, Jose Abreu finished with 25 and reached at least 100 RBIs for a third straight season to begin his Major League career. On the more strange-but-true side, the White Sox turned triple plays against the Rangers, Astros and Braves (not to mention one during Spring Training). The triple play against the Rangers, coming at home on April 22, was of the 9-3-2-6-2-5 variety.

HBO documents unlikely saviors of 50 Holocaust children
Published 5:50 pm, Wednesday, April 24, 2013
Gilbert and Eleanor Kraus lived a comfortable life in 1930s Philadelphia, where he made a good living as a lawyer, and she kept a stylish house.
They were secular Jews who sent their children to a Quaker school and unlikely candidates for the mission they assigned themselves. Gilbert revealed the plan to his wife as he was shaving in the bathroom, so their young son and daughter would not hear.
He wanted to go to Vienna and save 50 Jewish children from the Nazis.
In 1939, most of the world had not yet learned of Hitler's "Final Solution" to exterminate the Jews of Europe. But the Krauses knew the Nazis had already passed myriad laws to harass, ghettoize and impoverish European Jews, who were being brutalized in the streets.
Would she go with him?
From Eleanor Kraus' memoir, and from a documentary to be shown Monday on HBO for Holocaust Remembrance Day, we know she did.
Steven Pressman, who directed HBO's "50 Children: The Rescue Mission of Mr. and Mrs. Kraus," learned of the couple's potentially suicidal rescue from his wife, Liz Perle - the Krauses' granddaughter.
"They had to make the decision that they were going to do something terribly dangerous, maybe risking leaving their children behind as orphans if something went wrong," Perle says in the film.
To make a documentary of the little-known saga, first-time filmmaker Pressman, an investigative journalist, tracked down the surviving rescued children, who are now in their 70s and 80s. Nine appear in the film, though Pressman believes 20 to 25 may be alive.
He worked with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and archives in Israel to find old footage and photos of them, and of rarely shown street scenes from Nazi Germany and Austria.
The film, which is narrated by actor Alan Alda, is punctuated by numbers - 600: the number of parents of Jewish Viennese children who applied to the Krauses; 50: the number of spots available, 25 for girls, 25 for boys.
And this: more than 1.5 million, the number of children lost in the Holocaust.
Against that backdrop, 50 rescued children may seem paltry, Pressman acknowledged in an interview. Nonetheless, it was the largest rescued group of children to be brought to America.
Hitler was fast closing the exits from the Nazi empire, and few countries were willing to take in Jewish refugees. Tight U.S. restrictions on immigration would not be lifted, and anti-Semitism was rampant in the U.S.
Most Americans - including President Franklin Roosevelt - opposed a bill in Congress to increase immigration quotas for thousands of Jewish children living under Nazi rule. As shown in the film, "File No Action - FDR," reads a note from the president, scribbled on the cover of the bill.
In the early months of 1939, the Krauses pressed their case with reluctant State Department officials. Even some Jewish American leaders, fearful of a backlash and of escalating anti-Semitism, tried to dissuade the couple from their mission, Pressman said.
"I can, on one level, understand it," he said. "On another level, it's still pretty shocking."
In Vienna, a set of parents debated whether to apply to the Krauses to take their daughter, who was recovering from measles. In "50 Children," an elderly Klara Lee remembers her mother telling her father that a still-sick child could not make the journey, but her father thought differently.
"We may die here," she recalls him saying. "But she's not going to die. She's going to go and lead a life in America."
After the Krauses secured 50 visas from the American government and 50 passports from a Nazi government that would soon close the door to Jewish emigration, the children and their families gathered at a Vienna train station filled with storm troopers.
The mothers and fathers could not wave goodbye to the children because Jews were forbidden from giving the Nazi salute, and a misinterpreted wave could result in an arrest.
"The parents stood in orderly and quiet fashion," Eleanor Kraus wrote of that rainy May night in 1939. "They stared at the faces of their children. Their mouths were smiling, but their eyes were red and strained. No one waved. It was the most heartbreaking display of dignity and bravery I had ever witnessed."
Many of the parents, now that they had children in America, would secure visas for themselves.
Heinrich Steinberger was supposed to be on the train. At 5, he was one of the youngest on the list, and Pressman lets the boy's smiling face linger on screen.
Heinrich fell ill days before the scheduled departure. He would recover, but everyone knew a sick child might not make it through immigration and could possibly hinder the other 49 from leaving as well. He was replaced by 14-year-old Alfred Berg, who became the oldest child in the Krauses' care.
Heinrich died three years later at Sobibor, an extermination camp in Nazi-occupied Poland.
On June 3, the USS President Harding sailed into New York Harbor with the Krauses and the 50 children aboard, all of whom would soon be settled with foster families, or, in some cases, with relatives.
The children safe, Gilbert and Eleanor Kraus resumed their lives and rarely spoke of what they had done in 1939.

Mitt Romney to attend Thursday's prayer service
WASHINGTON—Mitt Romney is planning to attend the interfaith service on Thursday in Boston to honor the victims of this week's bombings, joining a host of other dignitaries that include Romney's former rival, President Obama.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and 2012 Republican presidential nominee, was invited to attend the service by Governor Deval Patrick. Patrick invited all former governors to attend, and Bill Weld and Jane Swift are also expected to be at the service. A source close to Romney confirmed that he would be attending the service, which will take place at 11 a.m. at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross.
President Obama, who will joined by First Lady Michelle Obama, is planning to speak at the service.
It will be only the second time Romney will be at the same venue with President Obama since the election in November. Shortly after the election, Romney came to the White House for a private lunch with Obama.
In the hours after the attacks on Monday, Romney sent a tweet out from his account saying, "Our hearts are heavy with the news out of Boston today. #PrayforBoston"

Welcome Back!
Good for you with the laptop. The reliability is the problem with those but anyway. Dell's usually can have it's OS installed through a special windows instal disk. Basically it's a DELL REPAIR only disk(I got to use one because of a stint at a computer shop last year) that installs Windows....BUT DOESN'T ask you for the windows key. It pulls it from the hardware.... yeah. Not sure if Alienware follows that. And remember that different colors and types of COA are availble. Even if you download Windows whatever that is the same as the version installed, when typing in the key into windows...it MAY not work. I don't have enough personal experience with that to know how many times or what you need to do to make it work.
Why INTEL SSD? I recommend Plextor, Samsung, or Crucial. OCZ is the next contendor but Plextor and Crucial are gaining steam. Crucial is at the top of the SSD marker for people that can't pay heavy premiums for Intel and Plextor is gaining heavily by being faster than the Curical M4's in the write deparement and being more reliable and at the same price. I almost bought an Crucial M4 until a good enthusiast showed me new benchmakrs for the drives that confirmed that the two Crucial M4 and Plextor M4 were close but Plextor had a slight upper hand.
A week ago Samsng has a 128GB SSD for $120. IT was $20 more than what I payed for mine....BUT IT CAME WITH the new Ghost Recon code to pre download!!!! Just need benchmakrs of that though.
My nickname is Panda-sama. Tilpo's is Rikkun. Because his real life nick name is Rik and add a kun. Hybrid's is Haiburido Chan or Hai-by chan(pronounced Hi-Be chan). Kuroda Tsubasa's is Kuroda tan and b1o's is Borisu kun.
@Hai-by chan
Please remember you are using a display model. They crash due to other consumers doing stupid stuff on it and loading crap ton of programs and closing them incorrrectly (Command+q)
I wanted a new bookshelf speaker that GuttenBerg recommended for $100 that are on sale for $50 right now and wanted to go to a Best Buy or Fry's but my parents had to go do...errands.
I slept for 10 hours and lol....52 posts
I really liked the take the world and burn it nature of Code Geass and Death Note. I love Supremem rise to power anime's and their rise was absolutely GLORIOUS to watch. Small spoiler:
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)They almost captured the world...the entire world...and then crap came falling down
It was stupdenous to watch!

Karan Johar and Anurag Kashyap's next production has an interesting never before told story. Read on to find out…
Ever since we saw the first trailer of Hasee Toh Phasee starring Parineeti Chopra and Sidharth Malhotra, we have been trying to join the dots from whatever little we saw. While Karan Johar had declared that the film isn't a romcom but a coming-of-age film of two people, their journey and the manner in which their paths meet.
Well, this wasn't enough for us. Our secret khabroo who was present while shooting HTP told us, the film is about the relationship between the quirky, rebellious Meeta (Parineeti), and the mischievous Nikhil (Sidharth) struggling with their respective families to fit in. The film traces the journey of these characters in a span of ten years in Mumbai. Nikhil first bumps into Meeta when her sister Deeksha is getting married and Meeta is on the run. On the same day, Nikhil falls in love with Meeta's sister Karishma. The film then jumps to the eve of Nikhil and Karishma's engagement. Since Nikhil is a laid back young guy, Karishma's wealthy father, Devesh Solanki, does not approve of Nikhil. On the day of Karishma and Nikhil's engagement, Nikhil promises Karishma that he will prove himself to be worthy of her within the next seven days.
Following this, Nikhil is re-introduced to Meeta by Karishma. Nikhil is then asked to put her up in a hotel. Nikhil recognises Meeta and recollects about the first time they met. To win Karishma, Nikhil keeps Meeta in the flat above his own house, with his crazy extended family. During the course of Meeta's stay at Nikhil's house, they come close to each other and open up to each other. In between all of this, the importance of relationships in unfolded and tested.
Well, we are certainly interested watch the Shuddh Desi Romance actor and the Student Of The Year actor unfold the story the heart warming story. What about you Bollywoodlifers?

Slicker addressed our Christmas card this way. I'm not for several reasons, including:
A) I hate both names.
B) I don't want anything blantently SW for my kids names (with the exception of Lando ). The closest we might come is Hayden, since we both like the name. But that's not really a SW reference. Actually, I think more of "Coach" than Darth Vader
Seriously though, we're having a tough time with the whole name part. We have several girl names picked out, but we can't agree on a boy's name. It's quite frustrating.
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.

Resoultions are always broke,so my goals for this year :
Lose more weight (and start my sit-ups again..)
Continue working on being less shy
Hit at least one convention this summer
I'll probably have more small ones throughout the year,but one thing at a time. Cant have too many goals at once.
Treat your stepmother with respect Pantera, or you'll be sleeping in the streets!!
Only because it happened to coincide with the new year, but I am hoping to lower my high blood pressure and get off these pills that make me urinate a lot.
Guess it's time I start doing that healthy living I've been planning to do for so long. If only it could wait six more months until I graduate college. Be much easier to do then.

Just like the others who called them "goals" I have some of those, but since tis is a "resolutions" thread, I'll resolve to:
1) Keep a daily journal like I have in the past (easy)
2) Be more positive (2005 was the worst year I have ever had, so the tiny optimist inside me says "well, than this year should definitely be better!" ; will be sort of easy)
3) Try to be alive by the end of the year (out of my control, I suppose)
4) Lessen my stress level (hard, often also out of my control)
5) Improve my retirement and savings (easy to do, hard to get started)
Frivolous ones:
6) Go to the SW Weekends in Disneyworld (unless they'll have them at DisneyLAND... Hello?!? )
7) Start my book... again (see #5 above)
8) See PNC Park in Pittsburgh before the Pirates get contracted or move (kind of hard, but then not so much), and maybe Heinz Field
Go 2006! Woo hoo!

One of the keys to a successful open data portal is to make it useful for the end user. Citizens and developers should be able to understand data sets without needing a PhD. I've been following the progress of Raleigh, North Carolina's open data initiative, which launched a beta of their data.raleighnc.gov portal in March 2013.
One of the most important parts of Raleigh's open data initiative is that it's not just about the data. The City staff working on the data policy and the open data portal have a full and complete understanding that presenting raw data sets only gets you halfway to your open data mission. Without visualization tools or a way for the average person to understand what the data means, the job is only half done. They also understand that providing the right data sets can help spur innovation and create new businesses—which is why they are spending a lot of time trying to understand which data is most important to the Raleigh community.
Behind the scenes, there is a champion leading the effort. An open data guru and a hero to many of us on the open government frontlines. Jason Hare is the Open Data Program Manager from the City of Raleigh Information Technology department. I asked Hare to share his thoughts and to give us a better understanding of how the city is defining open data and what the future holds for Raleigh's open data platform. He provided some great insight for Raleigh's up-and-coming open data initiative.
Q: How do you define open data?
A: Open data is the information infrastructure of the City of Raleigh. When we say "data as infrastructure" we are referring to open data.
Open data, open government, and the freedom of information laws are related and have overlap, but are not the same thing. Open data follows cultural, ethical, and technical rules. Ultimately, open data is defined as data sets created by a government entity and made available to the public. The data sets that are released follow the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) guidelines that govern the machine readability, structural issues, and ethical issues of the data released. Our resolution is based on the OKFN guidelines.
Q: Why is it important that the City of Raleigh hired an open data manager?
A: The City of Raleigh wanted an open data manager to ensure that the open data program is developed in a way that is sustainable, transparent, and accessible. Having an open data manager demonstrates Raleigh's commitment to the idea of "open" in regards to data-driven policy development and community engagement.
Q: What is your vision for Raleigh's open data platform?
A: I am developing a white paper on that topic. The short answer is open data is the start of an acculturation process leading to a transparent and collaborative relationship between city government and citizens.
Open data is a necessary but not sufficient effort in that acculturation process. Open Raleigh, as a brand, will emphasize data accessibility and information usability. We are not tying ourselves to a particular technology. We are building an infrastructure using several technologies to deliver information that is the narrative of the city.
Q: What's the difference between providing an open data set and providing useful open data with visualization?
A: There is no transparency without data usability. Tabular rows of numbers and machine readable formats of GIS shape data and CSV's of budget numbers are going to be there for those that want to analyze the raw data themselves. For the other 99% of the rest of us, there will be visualizations that explain the numbers.
Q: How can Raleigh be a leader in the open data space?
A: We build on the work of the pioneers of the open data community and take lessons learned. I have spoken with most of the leaders within the open data community, with several citizen groups within Raleigh, and most of the city government leaders. We will adhere to the emerging global data standard and the ethical standards of open data as put forth by the OKFN.
We are developing our own principles that match the culture of our city. Open Raleigh will be different than most North American efforts. We are emphasizing engagement and interactivity with our data. It is important to me that the citizen experience is visually compelling and informative. Health, culture, law, economics, science, and education will all be open topics. Anything that affects the quality of life of our citizens will be reflected in the data we share through Open Raleigh.
None of this happens overnight. We start with the infrastructure and build out. This will be an iterative experience. The open data manager will not be the final arbitrator of what Open Raleigh becomes. It will be the citizens and City working together in governance over Open Raleigh.
My job is to facilitate and make the experience a positive one for our citizens.
Note: The Open Knowledge Foundation is looking for case studies showing the benefits of open research data. Be sure to contribute your case study to the Open Research Data Handbook – Call for case Studies and collaborate with the volunteer-led guide for Open Research Data best practices.

Great summary of where we are Jason Hibbets. Thank you for the post and the continued friendship and support.
I continue to be impressed by all of you, and how you setup open data at Raleigh. Management in place, a very good looking platform to make the data available on. In other words, a very solid foundation for open data at Raleigh.
For me it's a great example in many ways how organisations could setup their open data environment.

Trying to decide if I'm being paranoid or scammed.
Bid and won a Breville Barista BES860XL Monday morning in a 24 hour auction. Immediately paid. As the seller and I are both in the same city, I offered to meet for local pickup to save them some shipping costs (auction was free shipping). Monday afternoon, the seller put up another auction for the same item, which sold for $100 more than mine did. Got kind of suspicious, so I started looking through his closed auctions. The seller hadn't been selling kitchen appliances until May 23rd - between then and June 3rd, he listed 13 various appliances, almost all using stock photos, and made almost $8800 in 12 days. And none of these recent auctions has left feedback, so theres no way for me to know if he shipped nay of these items.
So here's the paranoid part. It's Thursday, I've messaged the seller twice and heard nothing. No shipping notification. I can't open a case until 10 days after auction close, and the seller then has 10 days to respond. Any chance this guy has run a big scam, built up some feedback and then run a bunch of sham auctions? Here's a link to his prior sales activity. So, am I totally nuts, or is there something here? Also, since I can't open a case yet, is there any point in calling ebay?
So, looks like this guy was pulling quite the scam. 4 negative feedback in the last three days. Thank goodness for ebay buyer protection.

For spin class and every ride in between.
The Sugoi Lucky Shorts are a do-it-all short perfect for a day on the trails or a night at the spin studio. The soft fabric and integrated chamois set them apart from their peers.
Some cycling shorts designed for indoor and outdoor riding are constructed of scratchy fabric and a less-than-comfortable chamois. The Sugoi Lucky Shorts, however, use Helix fabric. This is a knit with a soft hand and a matte finish that has been blended with spandex. This gives your muscles support while at the same time allowing the shorts to return to their original shape — wear after wear. More importantly, the fibers wick moisture away from your skin so that you remain dry.
They are sewn with a 6-panel construction so that they move with you. The multi-density chamois supports your sit bones, while cushioning soft tissue for maximum comfort, even on spin bike saddles. The design of the waistband was borrowed from your favorite yoga pants and won't dig into your stomach, no matter how hard you pedal. A small zippered back pocket holds cash or your keys.
The Sugoi Lucky Women's Shorts are available in the color Black and in sizes X-Small through X-Large.

How did a single team's documentation wiki grow into an essential piece of the organization? By carefully crafting a reliable and flexible tool, everyone learned the benefits of shared knowledge. While our specific situation refers to a MediaWiki implementation within our organization in the year 2011, the concepts outlined could likely extend to any collaboration tool now and in the future.
A Netted Garden
Before the adoption of the current organization wiki, a previous iteration of a web-based wiki existed for a single team. The old wiki was riddled with access control lists and restrictions. To even start viewing it, you needed to be manually added as a user. Hardly simple or friendly.
When the new system was pitched, it was decreed that the information would be opened organization wide. No restrictions anywhere. Why hide system administration details from the developers or vice versa? Even if a member decided to vandalize other groups documentation (purposefully or accidentally), all changes are audited along with built-in versioning for easy rollbacks.
We offered open guidelines for creating useful and consistent information architecture, but did not slap on restrictions except for obvious cases (not posting passwords, etc.) for security. The system now thrives on this flexibility. All members of the organization have become content curators. Iteratively, the service becomes more valuable to everyone.
How Did It Grow?
Easier to say than achieve, we gathered people on a common language built around simple, easy to access information. In our case, a web based wiki provides a common denominator of no proprietary software restrictions and global access. When a product can stay out of the way to let people get done what they need to get done (in this case documentation) it becomes synonymous with the workflow.
We created a community where it allowed the collaboration tool to become popular, naturally. Strong-handedly forcing adoption of tools leads to skeptics and outliers. If it's worth its weight to the organization, they will flock. Flock they did. You know you've made it when your product becomes subconscious to those involved, like how many people will go straight to specific friends or websites to find what they need without giving a second thought.
Blurring the Lines
Allowing the wiki to grow naturally gave credence to the idea that centralized, yet open documentation is useful to the organization. With more eyes on the documentation, now anyone can see how other groups operate and improve any service by offering suggestions or prototyping. We've seen many cases where developers from one group will comment and help others. Physical location no longer applies. This leads to blurring the notion of organizational silos.
Creating Value for Everyone
It was very simple just to offer the service internally to just our department as a single instance, but why stop there? We opted for a modular design where new wikis (for other departments or very specific needs such as a wiki for a class) can be added simply. This modular design benefits with automated maintenance tools (backups, upgrades, etc.) and shared blocks of configuration (authentication, extensions, etc.) developed to simplify and solidify the environment's operation.
Stand By Your Product and Depend On It
Our wiki has become a central documentation tool for everything from information about applications and services to disaster planning. Now think about that last one for a second. When disaster strikes and knocks out the wiki, how will everyone get their documents? It is about preparation for all scenarios.
- A localized, server confined disaster where the system crashes or data on it becomes corrupt
- A localized, external disaster where there are issues with the hosts, storage, network, cooling, or power within a rack or the whole data center
- A regional, external disaster affecting multiple (or maybe all local) sites
Let us get technical with our MediaWiki implementation and disaster mitigation. While the standard product does not offer any built-in options for high availability out of the box, we architected multiple recovery schemes for the above situations.
- Standard daily off-server system backups to disk and tape
- Application layer backups (MediaWiki XML)
- Database layer backups (MySQL dumps)
- Database layer replication (MySQL)
- File layer replication (rsync)
- Message with recovery instructions for administrators logging into the system directly
Most importantly, the powerful combination of replications allows us to simultaneously run warm spare server(s) in other data centers on or offsite for a really quick return to operation time. The last item is for the panic moment of failing over the system if necessary (to enable write access, read access is available on standby systems at all times). Having the instructions outlined provides a sense of relief in the face of a larger crisis.
Parting Thoughts
No product should be developed by one person or small, exclusive group. Customers can be your best developers, even if they are not touching the actual code or configuration. Listen. React. Be proactive for demands they don't know they have yet. Grab enthusiasts and hack away at new models. For experimenting with the new, release early in development and iterate away. Sometimes your final product will look nothing like it started. This is always for the better.
The continuing success of our wiki environment is because of the collaborative nature of the tool itself. When colleagues are discussing the documentation available on there, it has migrated from "your" information to "our" information. There is immense power in that statement. Empowered people will add their creative and experiential input. We all win.

Henry Gifford, a mechanical systems designer and principal at Gifford Fuel Saving, Inc. in New York City, is suing the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for millions of dollars. Gifford, in the class action suit, claims that the USGBC has committed fraud in the selling of its Leadership in Energy Efficient Design (LEED) program, and has unfairly kept work away from people like him who are not involved in the program. (Photo of Henry Gifford by Travis Roozee.)
There is a LEED for New Construction (NC), LEED for Homes, and LEED for Existing Buildings (EB), among other certifications. The rub for Gifford is that LEED is a very popular and widespread program—some municipalities require LEED certification for new city buildings—that makes claims about energy efficiency that it can't back up. The claims of energy saving attract builders and developers to seek LEED certification, and people in architecture firms, building energy consultants, and others in the building industry have rushed to become LEED approved providers; that means they are able to help builders meet the building requirements and fill out the paperwork needed to apply for certification. Buildings with LEED certification draw higher rents and people with "LEED AP" after their names make money shepherding builders through the certification process.
Gifford's case hinges on a study commissioned by the USGBC in 2008. The New Buildings Institute (NBI) study compared buildings that are LEED certified with similar buildings that are not certified. NBI claims that LEED buildings use about 25-30% less energy than conventional buildings. But according to Gifford, who examined the data from the study, LEED buildings actually use about 29% more energy than conventional buildings. Gifford has legitimate concerns about how NBI gathered, sorted, and analyzed the study data. For example, the data on LEED buildings was submitted by a small percentage of LEED building owners; those who take the trouble to keep records and who want to share information on how their building performs. In another example, the mean energy use of one set of buildings is compared to the median energy use of another set, possibly skewing the results in favor of the LEED buildings.
The USGBC counters that they do not guarantee energy savings. They model energy use using a software program and only certify that a buildings meets its design specification—sustainable wood, recycled steel, interior building material that doesn't off-gas noxious chemicals, and so on—with predicted energy efficiency only a part of the requirements for certification.
Gifford has been a thorn in the side of the USGBC for years. His criticism, along with that of others, has pushed the USGBC in the right direction. The LEED EB program requires that buildings actually perform to a particular standard of energy use. USGBC is encouraging LEED NC building owners to take part in the LEED EB program; they are also asking LEED NC building owners to submit energy-use data for five years. But this is not required for LEED NC certification.
Gifford is afraid that in the future someone will do a thorough study of green building performance and use the information to discredit the whole green building movement. "I predict that someday, energy will be so important that we will start to measure it," writes Gifford in a recent Press Release. "And I predict that when that happens, building energy efficiency will start to be measured by building energy use. At that time, the currently popular systems based on computer predictions of energy use will be shown to be useless, and abandoned."

Riverside/San Bernardino Economy Making Significant Progress
Economy has added 30,800 jobs since hitting bottom in 2009 and enjoyed 12 consecutive quarters of rising taxable sales across nearly every industry
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (www.ucr.edu) — A new forecast focused on the U.S., California, and the Riverside/San Bernardino economies says growth at the national level is likely to start accelerating, in part due to the growing, positive impact of a rebounding housing market.
The forecast, authored by Beacon Economics and released in partnership with the University of California, Riverside's School of Business Administration as part of the 2012 Riverside/San Bernardino Economic Forecast Conference, reports that home values are 5 percent to 6 percent higher than they were at this time last year, and new housing construction starts have continued to rise, reaching 900,000 in October. Additionally, the length of time that existing homes are up for sale has dropped to well below six months, evidence of a tight market, according to the analysis.
"Both home prices and construction permits have trended into recovery territory and we expect the housing sector to continue to add to overall economic growth," says Beacon Economics' founding partner and one of the forecast's lead authors Christopher Thornberg. He warns however that improvement in the market will continue to be slow despite tight supply. "There are forces working to decelerate the recovery, including a lack of equity that prevents much of the 'move-up' market; we don't expect housing to accelerate explosively, but instead – like overall economic growth – to expand slowly."
The forecast also points to California as being one of the driving forces behind the nation's broader recovery. In 2012, California led the U.S. in job, income, and consumer spending growth, according to the analysis. And while the recovery in Riverside/San Bernardino has been slower out of the gate than in the nation or state, the local economy has made significant progress including adding back 30,800 jobs since hitting bottom in 2009 and enjoying 12 consecutive quarters of rising taxable sales across nearly every industry in the region.
Yunzeng Wang, interim dean of the School of Business Administration, says that the resilience and the future course of the region's economy is illustrated by the broad-based nature of the regional recovery. "The broad recovery includes industries ranging from construction to hospitality, which illustrates the inland region's progression towards a more diversified economy," said Wang.
This is the third year the School of Business Administration, the only research-based business school in Inland Southern California, has partnered with Beacon Economics to release an economic forecast.
Key U.S., California, and Riverside/San Bernardino findings from the forecast include:
* Riverside/San Bernardino Counties: Inland Southern California is pulling ahead of the pack in terms of growth in home prices and new residential and nonresidential construction. Rising employment, affordability, and low interest rates are all helping to escalate activity in the local economy – and growth is expected to increase in 2013.
* Riverside/San Bernardino Counties: The region's hotels and restaurants are starting to thrive again, with sales tax receipts at restaurants and hotels across Riverside-San Bernardino up by nearly 9 percent on a year-to-date basis – the third-fastest rate of growth by spending category in the state.
* California: A total of almost 78,000 jobs were created in California in September and October of 2012. Employment growth in the state is forecast to average roughly 2 percent during the remainder of 2012 and into 2013, before picking up steam and growing by between 2.5 percent and 3 percent per year from 2015 through 2017.
* California: While exports have continued to increase in 2012, export growth in the state has slowed from the double-digit increases experienced in 2010 and 2011.
* United States: On January 1st the United States will see a sharp increase in taxes and a large decline in federal spending if the two parties cannot agree on a budget compromise. The overall shock to the system amounts to roughly $550 billion, or $410 in tax increases and $140 in spending cuts over the course of the year. The shock to the country will be substantial and recession causing – but only if this budget remains in place for a sustained period of time in 2013. In other words, it is more of a fiscal hill, where the effects start to roll slowly but pick up speed over time.

I agree! Wolf scoring system for leagues and casual rounds please.
5 points (lone wolf wins hole)
2 points ea. (wolf & partner wins hole)
1 point ea. (big group wins hole)
Hole by hole scoring NOT needed, just points total for each round.
Thank you:)
Hmm, I've never seen wolf scored that way. Usually it's just the winning team splitting skins based on how many ppl lost the hole...
A point based scoring system would be great for our league. We play Stableford and skins where the most points wins, and No Bogey where the least points win.
Old Skool Brown Park Wolf - Traditionally played with 5. ****-talking allowed during putts. Carry-Over or No-Carry-Over. Carry-over can be equalizer for lesser-skilled players. 3 points for blind (declare wolf prior to tee-shot) wolf. 2 points for wolf. 1 point for being a winning team. A ... more
Wow, hot topic! I run a Glow Lone Wolf league at Woodmansee park where the park closes at midnight. "Lone Wolf" format as I understand it moves quickly as not all the t-shots are used in play.
Each player has a number, play in order each hole, each player has a chance to be the "Wolf" (chose Lone Wolf or pick a partner) before your T-shot. Player #1 is wolf on hole 1, Player #2 is wolf on hole 2, and so on. No points awarded for a push.
Wolf can chose a player to be their partner ONLY after that players t-shot, but can NOT chose that player if the next player in order takes a their t-shot.

The increased sales tax is expected to generate about 8 million dollars to go toward road projects and council members moved Monday night to start dividing that money up.
Based on their requests, aldermen received lists Monday detailing which streets in their wards will be reconstructed. The total adds up to about three and a half million dollars in neighborhood road projects so far. The council voted Monday night to award a citywide bid to one contractor to begin work on those streets in the next few weeks. Aldermen are excited to catch up on overdue road projects left sitting all last year due to a lack of funding.
"This is something that I would have done last year, just brought those projects forward and we didn't know up until last week whether we would be doing even that much. So we got the whole list tonight and everyone seems really pleased," says Alderman Nancy Johnson.
In the first phase of projects this summer, most of the work will be laying asphalt to resurface roads in preparation for the real reconstruction work still ahead. A few streets will likely receive reconstruction this summer as well.
Bids will open July 16th and work can begin soon after, most should be done by Thanksgiving. The construction company that is awarded the projects may subcontract out some portions.

MakerBot CEO Bre Pettis Steps Down
Published 9:08 pm, Thursday, September 4, 2014
Bre Pettis, MakerBot's co-founder and CEO, will step down from his position to lead a new initiative called "Innovation Workshop," 3D Print reported Thursday.
It's unclear what exactly Pettis will be in charge of in his new role, but he will remain within Stratasys, the 3D printing company that acquired Makerbot for $403 million last year, the report said.
He will also be a board member of MakerBot, while Jenny Lawton will take over the CEO position.
3D Print initially reported the news yesterday, based on an 'anonymous tip,' but it was made official today after Stratesys CEO David Reis released the following statement (via 3D Print):
"Stratasys and MakerBot are excited to announce some management changes at MakerBot that will take effect in the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2014 and into January 2015. Most notably, Bre Pettis will be transitioning from the day-to-day activities of management to a position with Stratasys where he will be able to influence and direct the vision of MakerBot and Stratasys; he will also be a member of the MakerBot Board of Directors. Jenny Lawton, president of MakerBot, will be promoted to the role of CEO of MakerBot; Frank Alfano is being moved from chief revenue officer to president. Aric Jennings, chief operations officer for MakerBot, will also transition into the international role of vice president of global manufacturing for Stratasys. We are excited about these promotions and pleased to continue the positive momentum that Sratasys and MakerBot have experienced and achieved."
Pettis is one of the co-founders of MakerBot, a leading desktop 3D printing manufacturer. MakerBot was founded in 2009 and has won numerous awards for its groundbreaking technology, including Time Magazine's Best Inventions of 2012.

After the shocking final scene of last week's season two premiere, "The Walking Dead" continued to surprise in week two, with Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) doing everything he can to save his son Carl (Chandler Riggs) after being accidentally shot by a hunter.
Instead of opening directly after the last scene from the premiere, though, the cold open of "Bloodletting" gave us a look at how, in pre-zombie days, Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) and Carl found out that Rick had been shot. What it told us was that a) their marriage was in more trouble than we realized, and b) all of their troubles got pushed out of the way as soon as Shane (Jon Bernthal) showed up at Carl's school to tell Lori about what happened.
But just because those feelings were pushed aside, first by Rick's injury then by the zombie apocalypse, doesn't mean they're still not there. And, as we saw in the first episode, Season 2 is going to be about exploring the characters more, not just how they react to former humans trying to rip their flesh from their bones.
Watch Sunday's Episode Below:
The next thing we know, Rick is running, carrying a bleeding Carl against his torso, towards a farmhouse, Shane and the hunter who accidentally shot him not far behind. From there, we enter what seems to be a safe haven from the walkers, with kindly a kindly old Dr. Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson), his daughter Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and some other family members. The farmhouse should be a welcome sight for the show's fans, as it provides a settled base of operations for them for a while, even if there are still issues hanging in the air:
Where's Sophia? Sophia (Madison Lintz) remained missing for the entire hour, and there was a split decision on whether to retreat back to the farmhouse or stay on the highway where the girl could find everyone. Daryl (Norman Reedus) again stepped up to the leadership plate, devising a plan which gives them the chance to retreat and not feel like they're abandoning Carol's (Melissa McBride) kid. The transformation Daryl has made from a redneck loose cannon to the only person in the group with his stuff together has been remarkable, but not unwelcome. He even managed to raid his brother's drug stash to get antibiotics for T-Dog (IronE Singleton)!
Speaking of T-Dog… It could be the infection raging through his bloodstream, but he's starting to get the same "what's the point" existential angst that Andrea (Laurie Holden) has been feeling. At one point, he even pointed out that he was the "only black guy" in the group, showing that he's watched enough horror movies to know what the deal was. Dale (Jeffrey DeMunn) tried to talk him down, but will we see T-Dog get taken down by his guilt, or the infection? Or will the walkers still get him?
The Grimeses and their troubles: Even though Rick is wobbling from blood transfusions, he is still the square-jawed Dudley Do-Right of the group, almost to a fault. On two separate occasions, he just couldn't sit still, wanting to run out to find Lori, then wanting to join Shane and the hunter as they foraged for surgical supplies at a high school overrun by walkers. In the first case, Shane convinced him to stay saying he'd never live with himself if Carl slipped away while he was trying to be the hero. In the second case, though, Lori's anguish as she screamed at her husband to stay put pointed out some of what's wrong with their marriage: he wants to be a hero, and she just wants to have someone who's a husband and father. Let's hope we see more of this play out this season.
Who are these people at the farmhouse? And why are there no walkers there? There are some still wandering the woods, as Andrea found out — Maggie, the doctor's daughter, came out of nowhere to save her. But at the farmhouse? The scene is pristine and peaceful. And even though Dr. Greene is wise, telling Rick that, like AIDS, this zombie disease will kick the humans' butts for awhile then get manageable, he's only a veterinarian. Considering he's about to cut Carl open, that's not a piece of news that inspires much confidence.
Will Shane and the hunter make it out? If you thought the overweight hunter was going to get overtaken and eaten at the end of this episode, raise your hand. The final scene, where the two pen themselves in a vestibule, with a flimsy gate separating them from the clutches of the walkers, was about as tense a moment as we've had in the series so far, and it makes us look forward to next week. Who gets eaten? What's going on with the folks in that farmhouse? And will Carl pull through? It'll be fun to find out.

Dx3webs have hosted our website for 4 years and have always provided exceptional service and value. As a new business with no web development experience we were looking to expand out of E-bay to setup our own online shop. We needed someone who would hold our hand and look after us at every step. Dx3webs were extremely helpful and professional and never made us feel stupid or daft.
We started with an OScommerce store originally but when Magento came along they offered us a free upgrade and even transferred all our products to the new system. Magento was a bit of a learning curve but Dx3webs helped us at every step. Nothing was too much trouble. Magento has a reputation for being sluggish but from the start our site has been very fast and reliable and we have never had a problem in all the time we have been with them.
They even offer advice which points us to free solutions to our problems when they could easily charge us. They even take care of Magento upgrades for nothing.
Highly recommended.

Yeah, but which one?
That is a tale for another day...
Finally Just watched the new movie. Pretty good based off what I have read in the comics.
Almost looks modern as he walks through that wreckage.
I much prefer the Dark Horse comics to Marvel's, but they are still good fun.

Chronic Inflammation Links to Alzheimer's
Friday, October 25, 2013
Acute inflammation is the body's natural response to tissue damage. Its purpose is to defend the body against harmful substances, dispose of dead or dying tissue and to promote the renewal of normal tissue.
