The 50 Greatest Moments in Baseball History
October 3, 1947: Most of the 74,065 fans at Yankee Stadium were there to see the Bronx Bombers, who were at that point leading the Dodgers three games to two in the World Series, clinch another title. But a defensive replacement named Al Gionfriddo gets in the way: With Brooklyn leading, 8-5, in the bottom of the sixth inning and two runners on base, the Yankees' Joe DiMaggio smashes the first pitch he sees into the sky. Gionfriddo races toward the bullpen railing, loses his cap, turns, leaps, and makes the catch just to the left of the 415-foot marker in front of a low metal gate. Nearing second base, Joltin' Joe shakes his head and kicks the dirt in frustration as he gets robbed of a game-tying homer. "It's one of the few times Dimaggio showed emotion on the baseball field," says Harvey Frommer, author of Remembering Fenway Park and The New York Yankee Encyclopedia.

September 23, 1908: Giants' rookie Fred Merkle's failure to touch second base on what appeared to be a game-winning hit against the Cubs resulted in the game ending in a tie, to be made up if necessary. At the end of the season, the Giants and Cubs tied for first place in the National League, and the Cubs won the makeup game to take the National League pennant. "Merkle has gone down in history as one of these great goats, but it wasn't really his fault," said Neil Lanctot, author of three books on baseball, including Campy: The Two Lives of Roy Campanella. "Merkle admitted that he had not touched second base, but said he only left the field after the infield umpire assured him the game was over."

September 30, 1972: Roberto Clemente of the Pittsburgh Pirates, the greatest Latino star of his era, doubles off the Mets' Jon Matlack in the final game of the season. It was his 3,000th career hit—and his last. On New Year's Eve, Clemente died in a plane crash while traveling to aid earthquake victims in Nicaragua. The Hall of Fame waived its five-year-waiting period before induction, and Clemente was elected to the Hall in 1973. "With his induction, Clemente broke through another of baseball's barriers," says Joseph Wallace, author of Grand Old Game and The Baseball Anthology, "and became the first foreign-born major-leaguer to reach the Hall of Fame."

October 18, 1977: "Any moment that can create a nickname is amazing," says Richard Puerzer, a member of the Society for American Baseball Research. It was during Game 6 of the 1977 World Series that Reggie Jackson got his. In the fourth inning, Jackson hit the first pitch he saw from Dodgers starter Burt Hooten into the right field seats. In the fifth, Jackson lined reliever Elias Sosa's first offering to about the same spot. And in the eighth, Jackson smacked Charlie Hough's first pitch, a knuckleball, 475 feet into dead center field.

May 6, 1915: A raw but talented young pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, George Herman "Babe" Ruth, slugs a home run off of the New York Yankees' Jack Warhop in New York's Polo Grounds—the first home run of Ruth's major-league career, and the first of 714 for the player who would revolutionize and dominate baseball for the next 20 years. "When Ruth hit 54 home runs in 1920, every other player in the American League combined hit only 315," says Joseph Wallace, author of Grand Old Game and The Baseball Anthology. "Just a few years later, everyone was hitting home runs—the Babe had ushered in the Lively Ball era." As the great sportswriter Damon Runyan put it after the game, "He is now quite a demon pitcher and a demon hitter when he connects."

August 6, 1909: Giants outfielder "Red" John Murray makes one of the most spectacular catches in baseball history, as if it were written in a movie script. The Giants and Pirates are tied, 2-2, and the midafternoon sky at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh is pitch-black and filled with ominous storm clouds. Tommy Leach of the Bucs cracks the ball into the dark outfield, and as soon as the shadowy Murray leaps up to grab it with one hand, a flash of lightning illuminates the sky. "It's the most famous catch in the early years of baseball and for good reason," says John Thorn, official historian of Major League Baseball. "You can't cue up lightning unless you're directing The Natural!"

October 7, 2001: Babe Ruth held the single-season home run record for 34 years, Roger Maris for 37. It's been 11 years since Barry Bonds hit No. 73, off Dennis Stringer, on Oct. 7, 2001, and with the collapse of the steroid era, it doesn't look as if anyone will threaten Bonds' record any time soon—except maybe the MLB's rules committee, with one of those dreaded asterisks.
"I was with the Fightin' Fish in Atlanta on the last day of our 2001 season," says MLB Network analyst Kevin Millar. "We had a chance to catch it on highlights after we finished our game. It was pretty amazing. He made the game look like PlayStation."
And while it's hard to remember, Bonds won the first three of his record seven National League MVP awards before the rumblings of steroid use had reached a roar. No less than Bill James, the king of baseball's statistical class, has said that Bonds will go down as one of the five greatest ballplayers of all time.

Oct. 13, 2001: Already down two games to the Oakland Athletics in the AL Divisional Series, Yankees captain Derek Jeter makes one of the most athletic plays of his career to propel his team to a game (and series) victory. In the bottom of the 10th, Jeremy Giambi of the A's strokes a two-out single, followed by a line drive from Terrence Long. As the slow-footed Giambi lumbers around the bases, Jeter vacates his shortstop position and runs to the first base line, snaring a throw from outfielder Shane Spencer and making a backhand flip to home plate, barely nailing Giambi. "You're out to win. Baseball, board games. I hate to lose," Jeter told Harvey Frommer, author of The New York Yankee Encyclopedia, about the Miracle Flip.

October 25, 1889: Giants shortstop John Ward becomes the original Mr. October with his heroics in Game 6 of the 1889 World Series between the New York Giants and Brooklyn Bridegrooms. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, nobody on base, and a full count on Ward, the Giants are about to fall behind 4 to 2 in the series. But Ward singles to right off Adonis Terry, steals second on Terry's first pitch to Roger Connor and then third on the next pitch. After scoring the tying run, Ward wins the game in the eleventh with a walk-off single. "Ward singlehandedly snatches victory from the jaws of defeat," says John Thorn, baseball's official historian, "and I don't think there had ever been anything like it before."

May 1, 1991: At Arlington Stadium, the legendary but badly banged-up Nolan Ryan, age 44, takes the mound for the Texas Rangers against Toronto. After holding the Blue Jays hitless for the first eight and two-thirds innings, Ryan has only Roberto Alamar standing in the way of an unprecedented seventh no-no. With the count at 2-2, Ryan's final pitch starts to the plate and explodes at 93 miles per hour as Alomar swings and misses. Bedlam is on parade at Arlington. Ryan's teammates surge out on the field, lifting him onto their shoulders. "My teammates were excited for me and involved in it," the righty told Harvey Frommer, author of Ryan's biography Throwing Heat, "and the fans rallied."

September 22, 1911: Cy Young wins the 511th and final game of his extraordinary pitching career, which began in 1890. Many baseball records are likely to be broken someday, but Young's, for most career victories, will last forever. Year after year, Young started more than 40 games, while today's pitchers rarely start much over 30. Then he would almost always pitch a complete game, gaining either a win or loss nearly every time out. (His seasons boasted records like 27-22, 36-12, and 33-10.) "A pitcher today could average 20 wins a year for 25 years," says Joseph Wallace, author of Grand Old Game and The Baseball Anthology, "and still have to find 12 extra wins to break the record."

June 21, 1964: In the first game of a Father's Day doubleheader at Shea Stadium, Jim Bunning of the National League-leading Phillies pitches a perfect game, defeating the 10th-place New York Mets. It's only the fifth perfect game in baseball history, and the ace righthander needs just 90 pitches to complete the game. With the 27-up, 27-down victory, Bunning becomes the first player to hurl a no-hitter in both leagues. (He also blanked the Red Sox in 1958 while pitching for the Detroit Tigers.) "What a day for the daddy of seven children who experienced a career game that Father's Day," says Harvey Frommer, author of Remembering Fenway Park and The New York Yankee Encyclopedia.

May 26, 1959: Pittsburgh's Harvey Haddix pitched the greatest game of all time—and lost. Haddix threw 12 perfect innings against the Milwaukee Braves, only to see his team fail to score. In the bottom of the twelfth the Braves' Felix Mantilla reached on an error by third baseman Don Hoak, ending the perfect game. Three batters later, first baseman Joe Adcock drove in Mantilla with his team's only hit — a home run to deep center field that was later ruled a double. "Considering that this has never been repeated," says Richard Puerzer, member of the Society for American Baseball Research, "it is an amazing event."

April 2, 1931: Seventeen-year-old Jackie Mitchell, a pitcher for the minor-league Chattanooga Lookouts, struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig on a total of seven pitches in an exhibition game. "What made the event noteworthy is that Mitchell was a girl playing on a man's team," says Joseph Wallace, author of Diamond Ruby, a novel inspired by Jackie Mitchell's story, "a widely publicized feat that came to an end just a few days later when Mitchell—and all women—were banned from playing on men's professional teams."

October 16th, 1969: Led by a stalwart pitching performance by Jerry Koosman and timely hitting by Donn Clendenon and others, the New York Mets complete their miracle and defeat the powerful Baltimore Orioles, 5-3, in a World-Series-clinching Game 5. "The victory gave the Mets one of the more improbable world championships of all time," says Joseph Wallace, author of Grand Old Game and The Baseball Anthology. "Under the steady leadership of manager Gil Hodges, the team—a laughingstock since their arrival in 1962—captured the imaginations of fans nationwide."
October 16, 1912: In the eighth game of the World Series, the New York Giants have a 3-2 lead going into the 10th inning. Boston's Clyde Engle lofts an easy fly ball in the direction of Giants outfielder Fred Snodgrass, who proceeds to drop it. On the very next play, Snodgrass redeems himself, outrunning a harder hit ball by Harry Hooper and making an unbelievable catch. But Engle scores the tying run and the Sox end up winning the Series. "The catch is completely obliterated by the muff," says John Thorn, MLB's official historian, "which illustrates the sad truth in baseball and life that the bad sometimes outweighs the good."
June 10, 1997: Jim Edmunds cemented his reputation as a top-notch defensive centerfielder with this gem of a catch against the Kansas City Royals' David Howard. There were two men on base in the fifth inning of a tie game, so the Angels centerfielder was playing shallow when Howard launched a line drive directly over his head. Edmunds wheeled and ran straight back. Nearing the warning traffic, he extended fully and caught the ball just a few feet from the wall.
"That made Willie Mays' play look routine," veteran ump Dave Phillips told the Kansas City Star. The difference, of course, is Mays' was the deciding point in a World Series. Edmunds' catch was, alas, an amazing play in Kansas City, which hasn't seen a game of relevance since the 1980s. (Sorry—we still love your barbeque, KC.)
July 10, 2001: In addition to being baseball's all-time Iron Man, Cal Ripken could rise to the occasion. Case in point: he homered in the game he matched Lou Gehrig's 2,131-consecutive-games-played record, and again the next day when he broke it. So it was no surprise that he would deliver a great moment in his final All-Star Game in 2001.
Ripken, a landslide selection to start at third base for the American League, came to the plate in the third inning to the theme from the movie, "The Natural." He received a warm ovation, so affectionate and long that he had to step out of the batter's box and acknowledge it.
When he steps back in, Dodgers pitcher Chan Ho Park delivers the first pitch...and Ripken sends it over the fence in left field. He becomes the oldest player (40 years, 10 months, 16 days) to hit a home run in the All-Star Game, eclipsing Stan Musial, and is named the Game's MVP for a record second time.
"As far as special moments go, it doesn't get any better than that," says fellow all-star and 2001 retiree Tony Gwynn.

April 8, 1974: Withstanding a relentless torrent of racial abuse and even threats on his life, Henry Aaron hit the 715th home run of his career. In doing so, he broke the record of 714 held for nearly 40 years by Babe Ruth. "It was the most familiar and beloved of all sports records," says Joseph Wallace, author of Grand Old Game and The Baseball Anthology, "and one that Aaron broke in the 21st season of a career characterized by grace and steady, fine play." He never approached Babe Ruth's mark of 60 homers in a season, but blasted more than 30 a spectacular 15 times. Hammerin' Hank would finish his career in 1976, with 755 homers.

October 21, 1975: In the twelfth inning of Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, Boston catcher Carlton Fisk led off by sending Reds pitcher Pat Darcy's second offering deep to left. There was no question the ball would leave the yard, only on which side of the foul pole. Fisk took three sidestepping leaps toward first base, all the while waving his arms, as if trying to force the ball to stay fair. On the fourth leap, he thrust his fists into the air. "The visual is key there," said Richard Puerzer, a member of the Society for American Baseball Research. "The camera angle that they had showing him waving it fair was something that they didn't usually have."

August 19, 1951: Bill Veeck, the St. Louis Browns owner and baseball's greatest promoter, created one of the game's iconic images when he signed 3-foot-7-inch Eddie Gaedel to a contract and sent him to bat as a pinch hitter. "The picture itself is so hilarious," says Neil Lanctot, author of three books on baseball, including Campy: The Two Lives of Roy Campanella. "Gaedel looks like he's really ready to hit." Gaedel, whose strike zone measured all of one-and-a-half feet, walked on four pitches and twice tipped his cap to the crowd before being lifted for a pinch runner.

October 25, 1986: Baseball has plenty of heroes, but Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner's failure to field a routine ground ball in the 1986 World Series unfortunately makes him the one of the game's all-time goats. With a comfortable 5-3 lead in the bottom of the 10th in Game 6 (and a series lead of 3-2), Boston allows the Mets to tie it up. Mookie Wilson's ground ball to first looks like the game will go to the 11th, but Buckner (playing on bad ankles) lets the ball roll between his legs as the winning run scores. It not only propels the Mets to an improbable Game 6 victory, but opens the door for them to win the Series in seven. "It's a shame that Buckner, who was a very fine player for many years," says John Thorn, the MLB's official historian, "is now remembered for one play."

November 4, 2001: Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Luis Gonzalez hit 57 home runs in 2001, but it was a blooped single behind second base that went down as his most important hit of a memorable year. The single, off Yankees close extraordinaire Mariano Rivera, drove in the winning run in Game 7 of the '01 World Series, among the most dramatic Series ever.
With three games in New York just 7 weeks after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, the Series pitted the explosive Yankee offense against Arizona pitchers Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson. The two starters combined for a 1.40 ERA and all four wins, including three by Johnson.
But the final act belonged to Gonzalez.
"He told me later that was like an out-of-body experience," former Diamondbacks GM Joe Garagiola Jr. told the Denver Post. "It was just like he dreamed as a little boy in Tampa—except he was supposed to be winning the game for the Yankees."

July 9, 1948: Forty-two-year-old Satchel Paige makes his first appearance in the major leagues—a relief stint with the Cleveland Indians. "While Jackie Robinson had broken the color line the year before, Paige represented something else: a Hall-of-Fame-quality pitcher denied his chance on baseball's biggest stage until the very end of his career," says Joseph Wallace, author of Grand Old Game and The Baseball Anthology. At least Paige—who was inducted into the Hall in 1971—got to pitch in the majors; other great Negro League players, including Josh Gibson and Ray Oscar Charleston, never had the chance.

April 22, 1970: Mets' righty Tom Seaver got off to a rocky start by his standards, allowing a run on two hits through the first five innings against the San Diego Padres. With two down in the sixth, he finally found his rhythm. Seaver struck out the final 10 batters he faced. "It's not just that he did it, but that he did it to finish a game when you'd think he would be getting tired," said Richard Puerzer, a member of the Society for American Baseball Research. "He went through the lineup more than once and struck out every single person." Seaver finished the game with 19 strikeouts.

May 1, 1920: The Brooklyn Robins scored a run in the fifth inning, and the Boston Braves matched it in the sixth. Twenty scoreless innings later, the game was called due to darkness—a relief to Brooklyn's Leon Cadore and Boston's Joe Oeschger, both of whom pitched the entire 26 innings. "That's a game that'll never be broken," says Neil Lanctot, author of three books on baseball, including Campy: The Two Lives of Roy Campanella. "[Cadore] developed a sore arm from that performance and was never the same pitcher." Remarkably, the whole affair—nearly three full games—was over in three hours and 50 minutes.

June 14, 1870: The Brooklyn Atlantics pull off the impossible when the team roars back against the Cincinatti Redstockings in extra innings. When the Reds score two runs in the top of the 11th inning, it appears victory is theirs. But Brooklyn scores three in the bottom frame thanks to a disputed play in which a ball that's hit to right field rolls into the roped-in crowd. Fans may or may not interfere with Reds right fielder Cal McVey while Brooklyn scores the winning run, ending an epic, 84-game winning streak and cementing the Atlantics as the National League's new behemoth. "It is the greatest game ever played," says John Thorn, the MLB's official historian, "because up until that point, the Reds hadn't been defeated in more than two years."

April 25, 1976: Rick Monday was a US Marine for 6 years, which made him uniquely qualified to be patrolling center field for the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium on April 25, 1976.
Monday noticed two protesters in left-centerfield, preparing to burn the American flag. He swooped over and snatched the flag from them.
"I was angry when I saw them start to do something to the flag, and I'm glad that I happened to be geographically close enough to do something about it," Monday told the Washington Post.
Later in 1976, Dodgers exec Al Campanis gave the flag to Monday. He still has it—as well as a place as a real American hero.
"I know the people were very pleased to see Monday take the flag away from those guys," Manny Mota, who played with Monday, told the Post. "I know Rick has done a lot of good things as a player and as a person. But what he did for his country, he will be remembered for the rest of his life as an American hero."

August 6, 1897: Hugh Duffy of the Boston Beaneaters made the greatest catch anyone had ever seen in the (then relatively short) history of baseball. Baltimore pitcher Joe Corbett hit a surprising line drive to left field, and Duffy, playing in, immediately set back and leapt into the air, snagging the ball over his shoulder with his bare hand. He then made a perfect throw home, nipping Baltimore's Joe Quinn, who tried to score from second on a sacrifice fly. "Everyone comments on how great Willie Mays' catch was, but people have forgotten all about Duffy, who made an incredibly similar play," says John Thorn, MLB's official historian.

October 2, 1978: The Yankees and Red Sox both finished the season 99-63, and the American League East came down to a one-game playoff. Boston held a 2-0 lead heading into the seventh inning when, with two men on, light-hitting Yankees shortstop Bucky Dent smacked a Mike Torrez pitch over Fenway's Green Monster. "Baseball is very democratic," says Richard Puerzer, a member of the Society for American Baseball Research." It allows for superstars to do a whole lot, but it also allows for guys like Bucky Dent to do something." The Yankees took a 3-2 lead, ultimately winning the game, 5-4. They went on to win the World Series over the Dodgers in six games.

October 16, 2003: Aaron Boone didn't start Game 7 of the 2003 American League Championship Series—but he ended it. Inserted as a pinch runner in the eighth inning of a tie game, Boone led off the bottom of the 11th inning against Boston knuckleballer Tim Wakefield. Mired in a deep slump (2-for-16 in the series so far), Boone debated whether to take the first pitch, to get a look at Wakefield's jittery stuff before taking a swing at it. Wakefield did indeed start Boone with a knuckler … and Boone swung. Play-by-play man Charlie Steiner calls it like this:
There's a fly ball, deep to left! It's on its way! There it goes! And the Yankees are going to the World Series!
Kevin Millar was a member of that '03 Sox team and he remembers the moment well, if not fondly. "Walking off the field in 2003 with that feeling in your stomach, it doesn't get worse than that," says Millar, now an MLB analyst. "But this is history."
History indeed. The homer is so big that it takes a place among the biggest in the Yankees' storied history, right up with those by Chris Chambliss (1976 ALCS) and Reggie Jackson (1978 WS). It even has its own Facebook page. And just in case you think Boone's luck is limited to baseball, Google his wife: 1998 Playmate Laura Cover. Ah, the envy.

October 15, 1923: Culminating the spectacular opening season of The House that Ruth Built, the New York Yankees captured their first-ever World Series with a 6-4 victory over their arch-rivals, the New York Giants. "With his usual perfect timing," says Joseph Wallace, author of Grand Old Game and The Baseball Anthology, "Babe Ruth slugged a home run, capping off a great Series in which he hit .368 with three round-trippers and eight RBI." A first championship under their belts, the Yankees would go on to win 26 more, and counting.

October 15, 1969: Ron Swoboda, a weak outfielder with limited range, helped his Miracle Mets win Game 4 of the 1969 World Series thanks to a magnificent catch. "It's the single greatest play I've ever seen," says John Thorn, the game's official historian. In the top of the ninth inning, Orioles slugger Brooks Robinson hits a sinking line drive to right field. Swoboda could have badly misplayed it to give the Orioles the lead, but instead he makes the diving catch, rolls over, pops up, and throws home to keep the game tied. "This is such an implausible candidate for a great catch, and the situation is such that by preserving the tie, he permitted the Mets to go into extra innings and win," Thorn says.

April 24, 1998: Pittsburgh's Jason Kendall is on third base in the sixth inning. When Turner Ward slaps a grounder wide of first, the Padres' Mark Sweeney fields it and Kendall races home. Sweeney's throw to catcher Carlos Hernandez has Kendall beat easily, but it's way off line. The Pirates catcher dives up the third base line and flies into home plate. Safe! "Part slide, part leap, part airborne flight, part acrobatic moment," says Harvey Frommer, author of Remembering Fenway Park and The New York Yankee Encyclopedia, "Kendall's feat is just all fabulous."

April 26, 1989: Kevin Mitchell was a talented baseball player with a gift for the unexpected. It all came together for "Mitch" in 1989, when he was named National League MVP—and made one of the wildest catches in baseball history.
Here's the scene: Mitchell's in left field at Busch Stadium when the Cardinals' Ozzie Smith hits a tailing fly ball toward the left-field line. Mitchell runs hard—too hard, in fact. He overruns the fly ball, realizes it, and reaches back with his right hand—the one without a glove—to make a crazy, over-the-head catch.
Mitchell's explanation: "I was running as hard as I could, and it just came back on me. All I could do was stick up my hand and there it was."

March 20, 2006: Led by Ichiro Suzuki and Daisuke Matsuzaka, Japan defeated Cuba, 10-6, in PETCO Park in San Diego, to capture the championship of the inaugural World Baseball Classic. The Classic, sanctioned by Major League Baseball and international organizations, was the first truly global baseball tournament involving major-league players, featuring teams from Mexico, South Korea, the Dominican Republic, and other countries. Despite boasting such players as Derek Jeter and Ken Griffey, Jr., the U.S. team finished eighth. "In 2009, in the second Classic, Japan successfully defended its title, while the U.S. finished fourth," says Joseph Wallace, author of Grand Old Game and The Baseball Anthology. "It may be America's Pastime, but baseball is now clearly an international game."

October 17, 1971: Like every other 8-year-old kid, Steve Blass dreamed of how he'd react after recording the final out of a World Series. In Game 7 of the 1971 Fall Classic, he found out. The Pirates pitcher allowed one run against the Orioles in his second complete-game victory of the series. When Merv Rettenmund grounded out to end the game, Blass leapt into the air, dashed toward first base and hugged first baseman Bob Robertson. "There are certain end-of-World Series images that come to mind," said Richard Puerzer, a member of the Society for American Baseball Research. "It's an occupation for these guys, but it's also something they can be so joyful about." As Blass put it, "You just react. It's raw nerve. It's absolutely pure, and it stays pure the rest of your life."

October 15, 1946: It's Game 7 of the '46 World Series, the bottom of the eighth inning, and the Cardinals and Red Sox are all tied up at 3 a piece. The Redbirds' Enos "Country" Slaughter singles, but is left waiting at first after the next two Cardinals strike out. With one last chance, Harry "the Hat" Walker strokes the ball over shortstop into left centerfield, and Slaughter takes off with the crack of the bat. Sox shortstop Johnny Pesky catches the relay from outfield and sails the ball home. Running through the stop sign by his third-base coach in what becomes known as the "Mad Dash Home," Slaughter scores the game's winning run, giving St. Louis the world championship. "Maybe if I had a better arm, I would have gotten him, but in my heart, I know I didn't hold the ball," Pesky told Harvey Frommer, author of Remembering Fenway Park and The New York Yankee Encyclopedia.

July 17, 1979: The 1979 All-Star Game was tied in the bottom of the eighth inning. The Angels' Brian Downing represented the go-ahead run on second base, and headed for home when the Yankees' Greg Nettles roped a single to right field. In one swift, fluid motion, Pirates right fielder Dave Parker scooped up the ball and fired it home. The throw arrived at the same time as Downing, but was so perfectly placed that catcher Gary Carter didn't have to move to apply the tag. "To watch a guy do what seemed to me impossible, and make that throw to a guy without him having to move is amazing," said Richard Puerzer, a member of the Society for American Baseball Research. "Skill, beauty, everything."

October 4, 1955: In the decisive Game 7 of the '55 Fall Classic, a speedy little outfielder named Sandy Amoros helps his Dodgers win the title—and gives a legendary Yankees catcher fits in the process. The Dodgers, holding a 2-0 lead over the Yanks, send Amoros into left field in the sixth inning. With runners on first and second, Yogi Berra slices a line drive down the left-field line, confident that he pulled it enough to tie the game. But Amoros streaks across the outfield, grabs the ball with his right arm fully extended, and fires it into the infield to double up Berra and Gil McDougald. "That was the exclamation point for the Dodgers," says Harvey Frommer, author of Remembering Fenway Park and The New York Yankee Encyclopedia, "who went on to win their first and only world championship in Brooklyn."

October 15, 1988: Bobby Thompson, Bill Mazeroski, and Kirk Gibson. That's the short list for most dramatic postseason homers ever, and Gibson's pinch-hit poke—with a bad wheel, against an unhittable Dennis Eckersley, with the Dodgers a run down in the ninth to the heavily favored A's in Game 1 of the World Series, may be the most electric ever.
Before Gibson could have the signature moment of his notable career, he had to battle from two strikes down to a full count, and his dribbler up the first-base line stayed just foul. Finally, though, Eckersley, who had thrown nothing but fastballs to the ailing Gibson, made the biggest mistake of his career.
"I was tired of throwing fastballs, so I thought to myself, if I give him something off-speed, maybe he'll pull it off," Eck told ESPN in 2008. "It was really stupid, because something off-speed is probably the only thing he can get to at this point."
Gibson was waiting on the backdoor slider and rocked it 400 feet, over the right-field fence. The Dodgers won Game 1 and took the Series in five games. Eckersley and the A's would win the earthquake-interrupted '89 Series, against the Giants. But this moment belonged to Los Angeles.
"When Gibson hit that home run, I jumped up onto my mom's coffee table and broke it," remembers MLB Network analyst and former Red Sox player Kevin Millar. "Growing up in L.A. as a Dodger fan, this was a tremendous moment."

September 28, 1932: Did Babe Ruth predict his home run in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series? "No one knows if he was pointing at the dugout or at the flagpole," said Neil Lanctot, author of three books on baseball, including Campy: The Two Lives of Roy Campanella. We know that Ruth didn't majestically point to the fence, as seen in a pair of campy Hollywood biopics. We also know that Ruth played along with the Chicago fans' and players' heckling, holding up one finger after the first called strike and two after the second. "It only takes one to hit it," he is reported to have said.

October 17, 2004: The greatest comeback in baseball history started not with a bang, but a whimper—a ninth-inning walk to Boston's Kevin Millar against Yankees' all-timer Mariano Rivera in the fourth game of the American League Championship Series. It gained life, though, when pinch runner Dave Roberts audaciously stole second base. Bill Mueller's groundball single tied the game, and the Red Sox would never look back. Their 12-inning victory staved off elimination, and set the Sox on an eight-game win streak and the team's first championship since 1918. "Obviously being on that 2004 team leaves me with some great memories," Millar says, "and this one really gave us momentum all the way through Game 7."

July 4, 1939: The New York Yankees honored their terminally ill team captain with Lou Gehrig Day at Yankee Stadium. Between games of an Independence Day doubleheader, speakers showered Gehrig with praise and gifts, and the club retired his No. 4. By the time Gehrig himself was done speaking, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. "The 'Luckiest Man' speech," says Richard Puerzer, a member of the Society for American Baseball Research, "remains as likely the greatest speech ever given by an athlete."

September 28, 1960: On the chilly, overcast final day of the Red Sox's last home stand of the 1960 season, Ted Williams steps up to the plate for the third time in the game—and for the very last time in his career. Glaring at Orioles pitcher Jack Fisher, Williams smashes a long drive to deep right field. It's homer No. 521 for the Splendid Splinter, and the culmination of a brilliant career. He runs into the Boston dugout in the top of the ninth inning, much to the chagrin of fans screaming, "We want Ted!" "Maybe I should have come out, but I couldn't. It just wouldn't have been me," Williams told Harvey Frommer, author of Remembering Fenway Park and The New York Yankee Encyclopedia.

October 8, 1956: The 25th and 26th Dodgers to bat in Game 5 of the World Series are retired in order: Carl Furillo flies out to right field, and Roy Campanella grounds out to second base. But it's the 27th batter, pinch-hitter Dale Mitchell, whose final whiff makes history. The image of Yankee righthander Don Larsen casually tossing the ball from a no-stretch windup to catcher Yogi Berra to strike out Mitchell and complete the first and only perfect game in World Series history is one of baseball's most-enduring images. And the rest of the game is just as magical: "It all blends together—the autumn shadows, smoke and haze at Yankee Stadium, and zeroes for the Dodgers inning after inning," says Harvey Frommer, author of Remembering Fenway Park and The New York Yankee Encyclopedia.

September 29, 1954: With the first game of the '54 World Series on the line, star Giants outfielder Willie Mays makes perhaps the most iconic catch in baseball history. In the eighth inning with two runners on base, the Indians' Vic Wertz pokes a ball to center. Mays races to the wall and gathers in the 450-foot fly. Then, with his back turned to home plate, Mays whirls and fires the ball to the infield. His cap comes off, his body spins, and Mays falls flat on his belly. "It's a sensational play that ended up saving two runs and giving the Giants enough momentum to win their first World Series since 1933," says Harvey Frommer, author of Remembering Fenway Park and The New York Yankee Encyclopedia.

October 3, 1951: In the most famous single event in all of baseball history, Bobby Thomson completes the New York Giants' improbable capture of the National League Pennant with his game-winning homer in the third and last game of the 1951 NL Playoffs. Thomson's miraculous three-run bomb culminates the Giants' scorching 37-7 run after being 13 1/2 games out of first place in their division in August—the greatest reversal of fortune of all time. "But it also marks the ultimate turnabout in baseball history," says John Thorn, the MLB's official historian. "The Brooklyn Dodgers not only lost the pennant, but lost it crushingly with one out in the bottom of the ninth of the final playoff game." The shot is particularly enduring because of Giants radio announcer Russ Hodges' jubilant call: "The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!"

October 13, 1960: Pirates second baseman Bill Mazeroski hits the first World Series-winning homer in baseball history, providing a thrilling conclusion to one of the greatest games ever played. Having been outscored by the Yanks in the previous six games by a combined score of 46-17 and surrendering their 9-7 lead in Game 7, the Pirates send Mazeroski to lead off the bottom of the ninth against pitcher Ralph Terry. Maz swings away and smashes the ball over the leftfield wall, propelling the underdog Bucs to victory. "It culminates a storybook World Series win by the Pirates," says Jon Thorn, baseball's official historian.

April 15, 1947: Branch Rickey was a baseball innovator. He invented the batting helmet. He created the first farm system. But his best work was the co-venture he undertook with a young Negro League infielder named Jackie Robinson. After a year in the minor leagues, Robinson debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers. "Culturally, that's far and away the most important moment in baseball," says Richard Puerzer, a member of the Society for American Baseball Research. "Branch Rickey designed the opportunity for Robinson to make it as successful as possible. When you look at a lot of the guys who came after Robinson, nobody else had the personality to be able to be first."

I know a lot about this subject because every strongman contest includes some manner of pressing— either single-arm circus dumbbell or log/bar overhead press (or both!). So to win the World's Strongest Man or the Arnold Strongman Classic title, I have to be a top-notch presser.
In strongman competitions, technique requirements are some-what loose with regard to momentum. In other words, we perform push presses with a heavy log or an Apollon's Wheel (similar to a barbell) using momentum—not a superstrict overhead press you might perform in a bodybuilding workout.
The major difference between the two is that with strict shoulder presses, the legs are locked out during the entire lift. When preforming a push press, leg drive is used to get the bar moving, therefore allowing you to use more weight for the press.
So you "dip" with a slight knee bend and then forcibly straighten the knees as you push the weight upward. This momentum is done precisely to generate maximum pressing power.
Depending on what you are training for, using push presses can allow you to handle more weight for any type of standing press movement. You can also utilize push presses for the last few reps of a standing strict press set, which will act somewhat like a "self-spotter" and allow you to finish more reps as your shoulders start to fatigue.
The press itself is only part of the strongman equation. In the gym you can take the bar off a squat rack at shoulder height and begin in the pressing position. But for competition, we have to get the bar from the floor up to the front of the shoulders, which is a major task in and of itself. When getting the bar, axle, log, etc., from the ground up to the shoulders for a standing press, several different techniques can be used. For a standard barbell or axle, the best method would be doing either a power clean (pulling the bar explosively from the ground to the shoulders in one motion) or using a controlled clean, which is used in strongman. This involves lifting the bar or axle to the upper abdomen, leaning back under control and then popping it up to the shoulders from there.
When using a log for pressing, just row it into your body and hold it tightly to your upper abdomen. From that position, drive your hips forward, roll the log up your body, and shoot your elbows through so that you are in a standing press position. Then dip your knees and finish from there.
As for my own lifting regimen, I typically rely on both strength and endurance in the same training session. So I will do working sets of 1–5 reps for strength and then do dropsets to hit a couple sets of 8–12 reps. I train some type of pressing movement two times per week all year long but adjust the training once I know the exact movements that will be contested at the particular event I'm training for. For example, depending on the contest I am getting ready for, I will normally train two-arm presses and one-arm presses on separate days.
I don't do a lot of assistance work (such as lateral raises or bent laterals), but I do include these when I'm in recovery periods of my annual training. Still, my advice for most lifters is to train all three deltoid heads to avoid muscular imbalances that can occur if you do only front presses.
To build the mass and strength to do some heavy pressing, you have to have the right supps. I rely on MHP's Up Your MASS, Dark Rage (pre), and Dark Matter (post). I've also added MYO-X. My strength is through the roof: This stuff is the real deal!

Every review of this album starts the same way: "As one-third of the New York Europop trio Ivy ... ." I'm not even Andy Chase and I'm sick of reading that. Yes, his "day job" band has been pretty influential in expanding the borders of atmospheric pop, but his new side project Brookville's current release, Wonderfully Nothing, is the real reason we're here today.
Why start a side project? Displeasure with current musical project, a need to begin a solo career without sacrificing the safety net, a desire to expand one's palette of influences ... the reasons are as varied as the number of people who start them.
In this case, his Ivy cohort Adam Schlesinger was busy with Fountains of Wayne, freeing Chase to complete a project that had been in the works for some years.
Generally, the longer a record takes to finish, the more chance it has of sucking when it's finally released. This is why no one really hopes that Axl Rose finishes the next GnR album. But Wonderfully Nothing triumphs over that curse: the extra time spent in the studio only enhances the overall feel of the album, a slightly melancholy reflection on life told through sonic vignettes.
The album features a variety of guest collaborators, including They Might Be Giants bassist Danny Weinkauf, Smashing Pumpkin James Iha, and minor, but no less important, contributors to the lush popscape canon, including Jon Skibic of Gigolo Aunts and Jean-Pierre Ensuque of Autour de Lucie.
Chase is clearly a studio rat; Wonderfully Nothing could very well have been a senior project in audio engineering with ProTools. But Chase doesn't sacrifice soul for cleverness. For every artful pan or sweep, he comes back with jazz-influenced harmonics or breathy summer-pop vocals. The result is a record that's not a huge stylistic departure; some of the material on the album just as easily could have been placed on an Ivy record. Soft, muted soundscapes nestle alongside elements of trip-hop, bringing to mind comparisons to Air, Saint Etienne and the studio pop of the 1960s. Chase's work also calls to mind that of another arist obsessed with the studio: Shuggie Otis. The comparisons between Otis' 1974 Inspiration Information and Wonderfully Nothing are too good to pass up.
Like Otis, Chase obviously spent a long time figuring out exactly what he wanted these songs to sound like. In particular, the third cut off the album, "Sample From Heaven," reveals the depth of his influences: Chase uses a musical phrase from Nine Inch Nail's The Downward Spiral, while also taking notes from Violator-era Depeche Mode. As if those influences weren't enough, the song is loosely based on a composition by the late, great Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim, who receives one-third of the writing credit.
Though the lyrics are solid throughout, the texture and sound of the songs reveal how Chase has matured as both an arranger and a musician. He's been around long enough to know what works and what doesn't. He's a firsthand witness to the life of a rock 'n' roll nomad (he even lived in Manchester during the Happy Mondays/Stone Roses-era), and Brookville is an able vehicle for him to pilot through his observations. Streaked with imagination and care throughout, Wonderfully Nothing is wonderfully something.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook.
Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
At least two Dallas ISD trustees want to go back to an earlier start time for board briefings, saying that the meetings are stretching too long into the evening.
In June, the board voted to move the briefings from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The reason was to better accommodate some trustees' work schedules and to allow for more public participation. The change also came with a more condensed meeting format.
So far, public participation at the briefings seems about the same. In DISD, public participation is typically driven more by what's on the agenda. If there's something contentious going on, more community members turn out to address the school board.
The last four briefings in the district that started at 4 p.m. lasted an average of 6 hours. The majority ended around 10 p.m.
The average time of four briefings in the old 11:30 a.m. slot was 7 hours. The majority ended by 7 p.m.
While the briefings are shorter by about one hour, they stretch longer into the night. The concern is that later hours can make for a long day for employees who arrive by 8 a.m. and for trustees who work during the day.
"It's a very long day for them – even for myself," said trustee Lew Blackburn. "And sometimes you have to take care of the business no matter how long it takes."
Blackburn and trustee Bernadette Nutall propose going back to the earlier start time. Trustees will discuss the matter at the next briefing on Dec. 5.
But board President Eric Cowan would like for the board to stick with the later hour a little longer.
"I don't think we've given it enough time," he said. "Other districts go 3 to 4 hours. So can we."
Cowan added that much of the late-hour meetings dealt with the recent investigation of Superintendent Mike Miles. He believes things will get back to normal now.
But even briefings lasting up to four hours can make for a 12-hour plus day for administrators who are often called on to brief the board on matters, says Blackburn. He also fears that some important matters might not get proper attention as trustees, cognizant of the late hour, rush to get finished.
Briefings are recorded and can be viewed on the district's website.
The Dec. 5 briefing starts at 4 p.m. at district headquarters, 3700 Ross Ave. in Dallas.

Treatments for stage 0 esophageal cancer
The following are treatment options for stage 0 esophageal cancer. Your healthcare team will suggest treatments based on your needs and work with you to develop a treatment plan. They will usually do a nutritional assessment before treatment begins. You may need a feeding tube to make sure you get enough nutrition during treatment.
You may be offered one or more of the following treatments.
You may be offered esophagectomy for stage 0 esophageal cancer. This surgery removes part or all of the esophagus and nearby lymph nodes. Sometimes part of the stomach is also removed.
Endoscopic treatments
You may be offered endoscopic treatments for stage 0 esophageal cancer.
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is sometimes used to treat a small tumour that is only in the inner layer, or mucosa, and has not spread to the other underlying layers of the esophagus. During EMR, the doctor injects a liquid or uses suction to first lift a tumour away from the submucosa and then removes it. If you have EMR, your healthcare team will do close follow-up to check that the cancer has not come back. They will use an endoscope to check your esophagus every 3 months for the first year, and then once a year after that.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) destroys cancer cells using a photosensitizing drug, which makes cells sensitive to light.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) uses a high-frequency electrical current to destroy cancer cells.
Clinical trials
You may be asked if you want to join a clinical trial for esophageal cancer. Find out more about clinical trials.
Establishing a national caregivers strategy
The Canadian Cancer Society is actively lobbying the federal government to establish a national caregivers strategy to ensure there is more financial support for this important group of people.

Movie SummaryWindhorse
Description: The story of Windhorse begins fifteen years ago high in the mountains of western Tibet. There, on a crisp autumn morning, a tiny village awakes. And three small children play at jumprope -- a brother and sister, Dorjee and Dolkar, and their cousin, Pema. But the idyllic scene is shattered by a sudden gunshot which takes the life of the children's grandfather. Abruptly, the scene shifts to present day Lhasa, the capitol city of Tibet, where we get a portrait of the threesome as young adults. The sister, Dolkar, has attracted a boyfriend -- a successful Chinese man named Duan-ping. With his help, Dolkar gets the attention of a high-ranking Chinese government official who can make her a recording star. It would mean money and security for her and her family. But her brother is totally disgusted. Dorjee spends his days with friends in a snooker hall and his nights getting drunk. We also see fleeting aspects of a Tibetan underground political movement in the person of Dorjee's old friend, Lobsang. Since their days in the village, Dolkar and Dorjee have lost contact with their cousin, Pema, who has become a Buddhist nun. In an early scene, Pema listens in disbelief as Chinese officials ban the display of photos of their spiritual leader, the exiled Dalai Lama. Within days, one of the nuns is arrested for defying the ban. Pema's anger and frustration leads her to spontaneously shout "Free Tibet" in the square in front of the central Buddhist temple in Lhasa. Immediately she is arrested and thrown in prison.

well 'tochuu' stands for in the middle of something or during, an example is 'shobai no tochuu' where shoubai means business (similar to shounin merchant) so in the middle of business. In fact in episode 10 when Lawrence goes to meet the head of the Loewen trade union he said the same thing. ok well i kinda went off the point there anyway, 'no' means belonging to, so 'ore no namea wa....' is my name is... 'tabi' is a journey or trip(also means a type of Japanese sock but in context it means a journey) sooo in the end 'tabi no tochuu' directly translates to, *drum roll* middle of journey or journey's middle or during a journey. Sorry if this isn't the right way to get around double posting. Ok so after the peak of immense pain from wisdom tooth surgery and swelling of the jaw i decided to transcribe some of the ost's of Spice and Wolf since i wasn't able to find any midi's made by fan's online so i decided to start with the violin accompaniment to "Yume no Mani Mani". If anyone wants the violin midi or sheet music give a shout or if someone already has it can they save me the trouble of transcribing it? I'll start on the main part after i've done the violin.

The artist of OP/ED for Spice and Wolf II was announced.
The artist of Opening theme song is Akino Arai. (Yakusoku, Utsukushii hoshi/Once Upon a Time [Windaria], Natsukashii Umi/KURAU:OP, Kin no Nami Sen no Nami/ARIA The ORIGINATION:ED) Akino Arai's Discography The artist of Ending theme song is ROCKY CHACK as well as a first season. Probably, OP is quiet soft music like a first season, since Akino Arai is an artist with many musical pieces of the quiet touch. Since Akino Arai is one of my favorite artists, I welcome this selection. According to official blog, ED seems to be music opposite to everybody's expectation in a good meaning. What? Rap? Rock? Heavy metal? Last edited by Kaguya; 2009-05-02 at 03:53. |

After the first Rocky Chack song, I really doubt I'll be surprised. Anyway, I'm too lazy to hit wikipedia, has Akino Arai done any other anime ops/eds that I'd know?

It is interesting that almost all music is an ending theme. I think that the anime which the view of the world resembles is Windaria, Record of Lodoss War, and Gedo Senki. In these songs, I like Windaria, Gasaraki, KURAU, and ZEGAPAIN. Last edited by Kaguya; 2009-05-03 at 13:25. |

Oh Akino Arai is doing the OP, that's awesome news. Also if you're going to talk about Akino Arai music than you have to mention her Macross Plus songs. "Idol Talk", "Wanna Be an Angel" and her most famous song in "Voices" are all great stuff.

In the same way, I also excepted "A Tree of Palme (movie)" and "Dragon Quest Saga: Emblem of Roto (movie)". Ah, since I forgot NOIR, I added it to the list. |

Hmm, the only one of those I've watched is Record of Lodoss War. Although I didn't much care for the first op, the second one had a much better one. (I think the first one was a tad bit too... soap opera.)

The music of almost all Akino Arai has a sad atmosphere, is slow tempo and has whisper voice like this. KANAETE They may be the so-called healing music and may not be suitable to an opening theme. The rumor of an opening theme or an ending theme will be heard since first episode will be premiered next week. |

NEW YORK - RateWatch, a premier banking data and analytics service owned by TheStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ: TST), reported today that national averages for CD rates of all durations this week remained unchanged as the Federal Reserve continued to keep the short-term federal funds rate at a range of zero to 0.25% since late 2008.
"National averages of CD rates were unchanged after Janet Yellen gave little indication that the Federal Reserve has changed its thinking about the direction of short-term interest rates at its Aug. 21 gathering in Jackson Hole, Wyoming," reported Antoine Gara, Reporter for TheStreet. "While the Fed continues to reduce its monthly bond purchases, Yellen said the central bank will continue to provide substantial help to the labor market, citing significant slack in the economy and the job market. The chairwoman's comments indicate that the Fed will continue to keep rates low a considerable time after the end of its economic stimulus program."
Avg Rate This week | Avg Rate Last week | |
Money Market | 0.15% | 0.15% |
1 month CD | 0.11% | 0.11% |
3 month CD | 0.15% | 0.15% |
6 month CD | 0.23% | 0.23% |
1 year CD | 0.36% | 0.36% |

3 year CD | 0.75% | 0.75% |
4 year CD | 0.93% | 0.93% |
5 year CD | 1.15% | 1.15% |
In the Greater San Jose Region area, the average 5-year CD rate sat at 0.84%, lower than the national average of 1.15%. Rates on the 5-year CD ranged from 0.15% on the low end to 2.0% at the high end, which can be found at Compass Bank. The average 3-year CD rate in Greater San Jose Region was 0.48% with a range of 0.05% to 1.2% found at First Republic Bank. And if you are on the market for a 1-year CD, take a look at Hanmi Bank, which currently offers a rate of 0.8% as compared to the Greater San Jose Region average of 0.22%.

Jaguar Land Rover i54 plant to bring an extra 200 jobs
An extra 200 jobs will be created with the expansion of Jaguar Land Rover's flagship new engine factory, it was revealed today.
The boost in jobs was revealed as plans were submitted for the company's proposed extended plant on the i54 business park.
The creation of the first factory on the site is already under way.
And the expansion of the site to include the creation of a 250,000sq ft assembly hall would take the company's investment in the area from £355 million to £500m.
In the detailed plans revealed today, JLR bosses told how up to 200 construction jobs would be created if permission is granted for the extended plant.
Workers' shift patterns once the new factory is opened have also been unveiled, which show that the site will be manned virtually around the clock, while the detailed plans show all traffic to and from the factory – apart from public transport and emergency vehicles – will use the new M54 slip road now under construction in a bid to stop the busy Wobaston Road and the Three Tuns Roundabout being overloaded with traffic.
News of extra jobs will provide a vital lifeline to local building workers struggling in an industry gripped by its biggest downturn in decades and the news has been hailed by South Staffordshire MP Gavin Williamson as 'a massive boost'.
Work on the 250,000 sq ft extension is likely to get the go-ahead from planners later this summer, paving the way to transform the project on the i54 site, on the border between Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire, into the engine plant employing 1,300 people.
The site is a hive of activity as work on the existing factory buildings hits a peak.
Mark Green, project manager for factory builders Interserve, said: "Work has increased dramatically here on site, but is expected to hit a peak around July and August.
We're very busy as you can imagine, with approximately 250 people currently working on the site at any one time." South Staffordshire MP Gavin Williamson said today: "Up to 200 construction jobs is a massive boost, especially in a sector that has been struggling."

Are you sure you've got this right?
Two cinemas in Walsall are going to create 400 jobs so how can a massive car manufacturer only create 200 highly-skilled engineering jobs?
Stop this nonsense now and build some cinemas.
Has to be sarcarsm. Might be less jobs but I'm sure the average wage would be higher at the engine plant than in the Cinema.
I think you misunderstand: there will be 1300 jobs at the plant, it's just that this is 200 more than previously stated.
Phil H
and realize the 200 jobs are for the construction engineers of the extension. the actual workforce for the plant is 1300 with priority to workers from the midlands.
Jaguar Landrover should be praised for their insight to keep the plant in the UK and especially in the midlands where the jobs are so desperately needed,
Well done Jaguar
English Exile
Martin just to help your confusion.
There will be 400 unskilled jobs, cleaners, etc, created by this new site.
All the skilled engineers will be brought in from other plants.
Almost all the new jobs will be sub contracted and the staff who work these jobs will be on or very near the minimum income levels.
Great isn't it.
This country is now providing the labour for their paymasters in India....
The 200 jobs here are just during the construction, whereas the 400 figure for the cinemas includes operating them afterwards.
Cinemas = Minimum wage, low skill service sector jobs
JLR = Highly paid, skilled engineering jobs.
Which employer is going to put the most money back into the local economy through local suppliers, shops and businesses? JLR.
These days, if you aren't skilled and educated and aren't prepared to continue with learning/training its either jobseekers or £6.19 an hour.
JLR is very much welcomed.
Will these jobs be only advertised in the UK,or like everything others across the Euro zone.
This is great news for JLR and those involved in
getting the jobs .
"Martin " seems very surprised,that so small ammount
of jobs are being created.
One must bare in mind ,that today,s manufacturing
plants are fully automated and computerised,meaning
that only maintenance crews and computers are needed
to keep the plant functioning,alas !
Gone are the days,that thousands had manual skilled
jobs,and that is the main reason that so many people
are unemployed in the area today.
Once a lad from Dudley,never forgotten....................
Martin & fbartling if you read the article correctly the planned expansion to the project will bring an extra 200 "construction" jobs, the article also states that the site when opened by JLR will employ 1,300 people!
Martin seems to forget the 1000s JLR have already took on in the past 3 years plus all the jobs they have created through the supply chain.
I was one of the lucky ones to get a job created by JLR and would rather do so than work in a cinema..
Why would the Three Tuns island be any busier? Do you mean Vine Island?
mr refuse collector
I said it before, this building is a massive monstrosity that has been built in the wrong place and has destroyed the countryside for all. My question is how do they expect to keep this place running with the congested M6. Are they going to use the M6 toll at 11 pound each way. I'm so angry as this hideous building could of been built on waste land along the M6 corridor between Birmingham and Wolverhampton
And regenerated land instead of destroying it. I feel sick when I see how they have chopped down accident woodland to make way for this slip road. ROLL ON THE NEXT ELECTION I SAY
martin go back to school,retrain and apply for one of the jobs.tens of thousand of jobs will be secured because of jlr bringing its business to wolverhampton.or you could wait and apply for a cleaner.so sad your so negative.now go clean your broom.
mr refuse collector.jlr was put back a month after the finding of newts on the existing site.i work for moog on the adjoining site.i live in bushbury and if you walk on the paths around the site you will see more wildlife has been introduced.ive been visiting pendeford mill nature reserve for over thirty years,a mile from i54 where opposite the old dowty factory stands.these buildings arent just thrown up nowadays.wildlife is paramount when these projects are given the go ahead.if you would like to walk around our state of the art factory and see what weve done outside then id hope i could happily arrange this for you.
if i remember it was the old ashpiles.not a tree was chopped down but hundreds of thousand of tonnes of contanimated waste,soil was removed.
All these jobs that are being created though are for trainees and apprentices etc ive found so they can be paid lower wages etc im getting the impression that no employers now want graduates cos they have to pay them more dont know why I bothered going to university!!!!
I have only found 4 jobs advertised locally for Jaguar LandRover :<
All the jobs at the site will be filled by workers out of the region ~ Hell the council wants to build houses for these workers and incentivize them to come here?!?!
37.4 million for the slip road to Jaguar LandRover.
This is shared between Staffordshire and Wolverhampton - lets say they "Go Dutch" and halve it - 18.7 million each.
Wolverhampton council also footing the bill for the Vine Island renovations - another 3 million.
Combined total to our council 21.7 million.
LandRover traffic wont even visit Wolves is it gets its own slip road via i54???
This WILL NOT benefit the people of Wolves, it will benefit a few "selected" individuals and a Foreign international company.
It seems the only thing the City of Wolverhampton gets is a 10k Mary Portas grant ~ something stinks here...
This coming as the city is experiencing 30% child poverty, 27% youth unemployment and MASSIVE problems in affordable housing.
mr refuse collector
Aiming personnel abuse at me doesn't change my opion about this hideous building. It has destroyed the countryside and I challenge any person here to look at this site from where I live. It looks like a massive steel monolif in the middle of green fields. As for the woodland, I was driving off the M54 slip road by Coven Heath and it had been chopped down to make way for the slip road.
This has been built in the wrong place. What about the congested M6? This is going to add more noise and pollution or can this now foreign owned company afford to use the M6 toll at 11 pound each way.
This is what they say, but they are only interested in people with the relevant qualifications and bringing people in from the own companies. they not interested in normal people or even one's that have a slight learning disability, it a shame and our tax money has helped to pay for this, tippicle of how the uk is.

Traditional Balinese Buffalo Racing.
3 o'clock in the morning, me and my friends getting into the city named the Negara in Bali. It takes at least 3 hours from Denpasar to reach the location of buffaloes racing game, known here as Makepung. The flurry of buffaloes racing unique traditional performances typical of this country town, has been seen since 6 am. Located in an area with paddy fields, this Makepung was held.
At around 7 am, the race began. Previously a lot of preparation done by the participants. Beginning of the ceremony according to local belief, respectively, with a unique dressing buffaloes, and check all the other preparations.
The background of this race is a time of joy after the harvest. Its history is held by two blocks of the local village sides. A participant using two buffaloes to pull carts behind them, driven by a jockey in the cart behind. The winner is determined by way ahead of the opponent in front of it which is about 10 meters, or if it is able to shorten the distance, but not beyond it. Otherwise the series (draw) if they stay the same distance to the end of the finish line.
In the Makepung photo essay.

Dear Mexican: Please explain to me why so many mexicanas seem to think it more important to stay home and baby-sit than to attend school (so that they may become more in life than producers of offspring). As an educator (lately of students identified as "at risk" for failure in high school), I have faced "absent on account of child care" as the leading excuse for non-attendance and truancy among my mexicana students. Please note, too, that these are not the young women's children; often, they are not even the children of the nuclear family. Consider as well that this is a rare-to-nonexistent excuse among any other student group (in other words, this does not come up among diverse Latina or other populations).
Teach Her
Dear Gabacho: I'm not really sure what's the point of your question. Are you trying to imply that Mexican families don't want their daughters to go to school? I'm hearing nowadays in my education circles concern about how Mexican teenage boys are falling behind their hermanas in educational attainment. Do you know for a fact that those girls are taking care of kids at home, or did you fall for their excuse by assuming that Mexican girls are about as far away from babies to take care of as a Bedouin is from a camel? I'm not trying to deny or excuse the disturbing rates of truancy among Mexicans, among the highest of any ethnic group in the United States, but instead of harping on one particular, imagined cause, how about about attacking the whole enchilada? In "Preventing Truancy and Dropout Among Urban Middle School Youth," a paper in the January 2009 issue of Education and Urban Society by Louie F. Rodríguez of Florida International University and Gilberto Q. Conchas at the University of California, Irvine, the profes identified high truancy rates as a leading indicator of an at-risk student (DUH!) and did what you seemingly don't: ask the students why they're truant. They also studied a Boston-area community group that succeeded in reducing truancy among Latinos and African-Americans. The trick? Giving a damn about kids, demanding they and their parents care, and making sure it takes a rancho to get the chamacos to succeed. "Educational research, policy, and practice have much to learn from grassroots community-based organizations that directly battle with the social struggles in urban communities," Rodríguez and Conchas concluded. "Educators must assess the factors and influences within community-based organizations that motivate truant young people as a means to build stronger bonds across institutions."
Why do Chicanos criticize gabachos while they are in the USA, and when they come back to México, they despise their compatriotas mexicanos by showing off their dolares? Seems that they don't belong in neither USA nor México.
Dear To Hell With Chilango Riffraff: The gabacho part is easy—Mexicans of all colores criticize gabachos, because the Virgin of Guadalupe told us to. As for the criticizing Mexicans in Mexico: they're just learning from the natives, who never miss a moment to trash Mexicans who live in el Norte and their children as somehow lesser than Mexicans who live in Mexico. All we ever did? Save Mexico's ass from the Third World over the past 30 years with our billions of dollars in remittances.

( #3333=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
I program because I have problems. (No, not that kind of problems.) There is some task I can make the computer do for me, so I start programming. Picking the programming language comes after having a problem to solve. Most often it's Perl, since it's a pragmatic programming language and available on most computers I have access to (including in particular $work). Sometimes I pick C if I need better access to hardware or libraries or manual memory control. Sometimes I pick $functional_language[rand @functional_language] because the solution may be more easily expressed in it. Sometimes the environment the program must execute in limits the choice (e.g. Javascript). Of course, this kind of an approach presupposes that you know the programming language very well, or at least are familiar with a wide range of different concepts. When I was still taking first steps into programming in Pascal and C, I used to write a program that queries the user for a radius, then prints the circumference and area of a circle or sphere. But that was a decade ago. I mean no offence, but "learning how to write a subroutine or function" in a new programming language sounds silly. It's a matter of syntax, if the programming language has some form of functions or goto. (If it doesn't, this is an interesting problem, but it was already solved in 1950s.) It's much more worth your while to learn a new concept through exposure to a new programming language.

SUBJECT: | Memorial University professor to lecture on the archaeology of Port au Choix | |
DATE: | April 19, 2005 |
Note to editors:
Canada Research Chair in North Atlantic Archaeology, Dr. Priscilla Renouf, will deliver a lecture titled Humans on the Landscape: The Archaeology of Port au Choix on Monday, April 25, at Memorial University. The lecture will examine how different prehistoric and historic cultures of Port au Choix situated themselves on the landscape, how they altered it and gave it cultural significance. The lecture will start at 4 p.m. and will be held in room A-1043 of the Arts and Administration Building. Parking is available in Lot 15, across from the School of Music.
Dr. Renouf has conducted research in Labrador, Newfoundland, Arctic Norway and Greenland. For the past several years her research has been situated in Port au Choix, northwestern Newfoundland, where she is reconstructing 5,500 years of human adaptation to a changing environment. Her research has implications for understanding the prehistory of the Canadian Arctic, the Maritimes, and the New England states. Additionally, her research contributes to the comparative anthropology of hunting and gathering peoples. She also co-founded an international research group, called LINK, which consists of a dozen archaeologists working in North Atlantic areas: Labrador, Greenland, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Norway. Their purpose is to integrate social and natural science research to address questions of how past human societies in the North Atlantic reacted to long- and short-term climate fluctuations.

"Lee Evans holds the record for the biggest comedy gig every performed - and you can see why." (The Guardian)
"For gags per minute and unflagging energy, he's unbeatable." (The Daily Telegraph)
"Masterful, percise, physical comedy." (The Independent)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Very funny"
If you know Lee Evans, you'll be aware of his style of comedy. He is very active on the stage, even hyperactive, and so you do lose a bit through just an audio recording. Having said that, you can still get the jist of what he's doing. And the routine he comes up with is very very funny. I had several laugh out loud moments. You can get the feeling just from listening, that this would have been amazing to see "live" at the 02. He's a man of a thousand voices and faces. Great Stuff!
"such a laugh"
i would watch this every time lee evans makes me laugh every time i watch it or even listen to

Our Pathway to Exploration Should Start with the Asteroid Redirect Mission
Posted by Louis D. FriedmanTom Jones on 2014/06/30 06:01 CDT | 51 comments
Despite its rejection by the NRC Committee, we argue that the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) is an affordable and logical first step in such a sequence. ARM is not only consistent with the NRC Committee's own principles, but is also the only near- term initiative that can shape their recommendations into a sustainable human space exploration program. ARM would launch U.S. explorers into deep space beyond the Moon, and fits logically into an exploration program aimed at Mars.
