CCSSE 2013 results now available
Are students engaged in their learning—and with the college—as much as we hope they are? How does engagement affect student learning? Answers to these questions and more may be found in the results of the 2013 Community College Survey Student Engagement (CCSSE) and Community College Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (CCFSSE).
Both surveys were administered at Columbus State this past spring and you can now study the results posted on our CCSSE results web page. This site provides guides for studying our results and provides a form for submitting a summary of your interpretation and use of the data.
The CCSSE committee will be reaching out to campus groups to discuss the survey. You can also request an overview presentation by contacting the CCSSE committee. As we continue and develop initiatives for student success, the CCSSE and CCFSSE surveys provide an insightful snapshot of student engagement and inspiration for deeper study.
New grants coordinator offers support, teamwork, coffee
Ruth Sternberg wants you to know that her door is always open over in her Long Street office, the parking is plentiful, and there is a nice coffee shop next door if you need to talk shop about grant writing at Columbus State.
Sternberg was recently hired as Grants Coordinator in Resource Development, located in the same offices on Long Street as the Columbus State Development Foundation. A new director of Resource Development is to be hired soon in the office administered by Dr. Polly Owen, associate vice president for Academic Affairs. Since the retirement of Susan Stumpp last year in the Grants Office, much of the work has been handled by a consultant.
The grant-writing process is a team sport, says Sternberg, and she is ready to answer any questions you have about your project. "Grants are very competitive, but there are hundreds of government offices and hundreds of foundations awarding money," she says. "If something is really worthwhile, there's a way to find money for it! We are here to support you."
Writing grants is really a story-telling process, she explains. "We tell the story of your work in a particular way to show the gap you are filling, how this work is appropriate and how it would advance the college."
Sternberg has lots of experience in storytelling, earning her bachelor's degree in journalism from Ohio State in 1985 and her master's degree in Early Industrial History from Kent State in 1993. She worked as an education beat writer covering K-12 as well as higher education at The Columbus Dispatch until 2004, and even started her own newspaper, The New Standard, which was sold in 2009.
She has also worked in nonprofit fundraising for organizations including the Association of Religious News Writers and the Canton Art Institute.
She practices her storytelling skills as an actor, stage manager and volunteer fundraiser for four theater companies in central Ohio, including the Columbus Civic Theater in Clintonville, where she recently completed a stint stage managing "Awake and Sing" by Clifford Odets. She also enjoys storytelling on Speakeasy Nights at Wild Goose Creative on the near north side.
So if you have an idea you need to brainstorm through, stop over to the Long Street offices for coffee at the Zanzibar Café and see Ruth!

Every year tens of thousands of people cross our bridge, and many of them depart with new life in Christ. We continually invest in the lives of people who come to Alliance Redwoods seeking to experience "the Creator in His Creation". We do this by offering life-changing camp experiences, doing regular upgrades to our facilities, and extending the hope of Christ to God's seekers locally and globally.
The Global Campaign to Impact a Million People for Christ
Alliance Redwoods has been a "bridge to life" for over 65 years, but what if God had something even bigger in mind?
What if God had the whole world in mind?
The vision God has given Alliance Redwoods is to impact over one million people worldwide through Christian Camping in this 'generation' (2010-2050):
- 800,000 locally at our campus in Northern California
- 200,000 globally through international satellite programs
Our feedback consistently indicates that over ten percent of those who cross our bridge make spiritually life–changing decisions while at Alliance Redwoods.
Therefore, we envision celebrating over 50,000 first time decisions for Christ in this generation!

Louise Johnson was unhurt by a fire which engulfed her Dodge during the automotive demolition derby Oct. 18 at the Southern California Fair in Perris, enabling her to drive in the subsequent motorhome demolition derby.
While Johnson may be remembered for the fire in the earlier demolition derby, her participation in the subsequent crash-fest made her the first female to drive in a motorhome demolition derby in California, according to The Valley News, Fallbrook.
"It didn't turn out to be much of a show," Johnson said. "My motorhome died after the first hit."
Johnson utilized number 42 for both her car and the motorhome. She also uses that number for other demolition derbies.
The number was chosen based on the Douglas Adams novel "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," in which a computer determines that 42 is the answer to the ultimate question which itself then has to be determined.
Both of Johnson's parents have been involved in motorcycle and off-road racing, and her father also rides vehicles with number 42.
Like Adams, Johnson was born in England. She grew up in Huntington Beach, where she graduated from Ocean View High School, and now lives in Long Beach.
Johnson, now 25, was 22 when she obtained her driver's license.
"I've actually been to therapy in the past for driving phobia. Most of my life I've been terrified of driving. I've only had my license for a couple of years," she said.
Demolition derbies, in which crashes are expected, has served as suitable therapy.
"It's teaching me to confront my fears," Johnson said. "It's OK to crash. It's not something to be afraid of."
Johnson's demolition derby career began as a spectator watching friend Dan Pachella of Signal Hill compete in events.
"He's the one who really got me into this," she said. "He sponsors me. He gives me all my cars and then I do the work on them."
Johnson builds her own cars and has been doing so since her initial demolition derby.
"Dan's teaching me. I've learned how to weld. I can put together a motor pretty well," Johnson said. "I work on the cars. I don't just show up to drive them."
Johnson's only street vehicle is a classic car, specifically a 1964 Mercury Comet, and she also works on that automobile.
Irwindale Speedway had a demolition derby for women on Sept. 20, 2008, and Pachella invited Johnson to participate.
Johnson made her demolition derby driving debut that night, although she was disqualified.
Despite the result, Johnson wanted to continue participating in demolition derbies and was a regular at Irwindale's 2009 competitions.
The first motorhome demolition derby ever held in California took place July 26 at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa. Pachella was one of six drivers in that contest and Johnson was a spectator.
Johnson has contracts with both Beach Cities Towing, which sponsored the Costa Mesa motorhome demolition derby, and Sunnyside Racing, the promoters of the both the Costa Mesa and Perris events.
"I told them whatever I have to do, I wanted to be in the next one," Johnson said.
In the automotive demolition derby Oct. 18, Johnson was one of three remaining drivers before her 1977 Dodge Monaco caught fire.
Johnson first noticed the fire when she saw flames coming through the floor.
"That's the first time I've ever been on fire," she said.
She was able to escape the vehicle without injury and settled for third place in that event.
The fire didn't deter Johnson from future demolition derbies, including the one later that evening.
She spent part of the interval in the back of the on-site ambulance and was asked if she wanted to be taken to the hospital, but she expressed her preference to drive in the motorhome demolition derby.
Revenge is a dish best served when you car's not on fire, and Johnson joined five men in the motorhome demolition derby, which involved six Class C (approximately 15-foot-long) recreational vehicles.
Johnson also drove a Dodge in that derby – briefly. "It cranked a couple of times but would not start, and then it wouldn't even crank," she said.
She plans to drive in subsequent motorhome demolition derbies. "We're going to spend some more time on it this time," she said.
Oct. 31 fell on a Saturday this year, so Toyota Speedway at Irwindale, as it is currently called, held a Night of Destruction and Halloween Celebration.
Johnson and Pachella finished second in the Trains race, which involves three cars welded together racing around a figure eight course and a brakeman in the third car complementing the front-car driver.
Johnson also competed in the trailer race that night, but her camper came off the trailer early and her car eventually became stuck on top of Rebeca Velasco's trailer.
Professionally, Johnson is a funeral director and embalmer in Costa Mesa; she joined the mortuary six years ago out of high school.
"I love what I do, but this definitely takes the edge off," she said of her stock car driving.

Welcome! As a Xavier student planning a career in a health profession, you have unique goals and educational plans. Careful consideration and long-range planning must begin now if you wish to join the many Xavier graduates practicing medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, podiatry, optometry, pharmacy, and physical therapy among other rewarding fields in professional health care.
Xavier University is extremely proud that over the past five years, approximately 80% of our students who applied to medical school were accepted, compared to 44% nationally.
The 2015 graduating class enjoyed a 86% acceptance rate to allopathic and osteopathic medical schools. Click here to view the growing list of medical and other professional health schools in which Xavier graduates have been accepted.
A special admissions pathway into medical school is the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine's R.O.S.E. (Research, Observation, Service, Education) Program. ROSE is an "admission pathway" program for Ohio residents in which students apply to UCCOM after the fall of their sophomore year of college. High academic standards, both in GPA and MCAT expectations, plus the extensive summer research and physician mentoring that will be a part of ROSE, make this a very desirable program.
Another special admissions pathway into medical school is the University of Toledo's MEDStart Program. It is an early admission program designed to accept college students during the JUNIOR year of their undergraduate education. This program allows students to enroll into the University of Toledo's College of Medicine program for the next academic year following completion of the four-year baccalaureate education. The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is not required for acceptance into the MEDStart Program, but certain rigorous undergraduate and high school academic criteria are required to qualify for application.
Professional health is a challenging and demanding career path, yet it can be an extremely rewarding one. Admission into these professional health programs is extremely competitive. You must be well-informed, well-prepared, and very personally motivated to work very hard to gain admission. To view important statistical information about the quality of grades students should earn in order be competitive for medical school or for other graduate health professions, follow this link.
All Xavier students have a faculty advisor in their academic major/area of study. To assist you in all phases of your undergraduate experience, and to help you prepare for successful admission to the health profession school of your choice, Xavier also provides you with specific advising through the office of the Director of Pre-Professional Health Advising, Ms. Kara Rettig-Pfingstag.

The town of Bluffton is excited to welcome the first two families to the Wharf Street redevelopment project in time for the holiday season. In the last several weeks the first two homes have sold and another family is expected to close on a third home by the end of the year. The new residents to Old Town Bluffton are eager to celebrate the holidays in their homes.
There are three remaining homes for sale that consist of a one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom homes with prices ranging from $60,000 to $120,000. The town continues to accept applications from prospective homebuyers who meet the program qualifications and are interested in living in the Old Town Bluffton Historic District. The homes are available to families who make 80 percent or less of the area median income for Beaufort County.
Town of Bluffton homebuyer applications are available at www.TownofBluffton.sc.gov, Town of Bluffton Town Hall at the Theodore D. Washington Municipal Building at 20 Bridge Street, Town of Bluffton Law Enforcement Center at Buckwalter Place at 101 Progressive Street, and Bluffton Library at Bluffton Village at 120 Palmetto Way.
Complete applications should be submitted to the attention of Community Development at the Town of Bluffton Customer Service Center located at the Theodore D. Washington Municipal Building, 20 Bridge Street, Bluffton, SC 29910. For more information, please contact Danny Wilson at 843-706-4521.
This project is located on 0.52 acres at the corner of Wharf Street and Roberson Street and consists of six affordable, energy efficient homes, ranging in size from 1- to 3-bedrooms floorplans that incorporate space saving features, and are sympathetic in architectural design to the surrounding character of the Old Town Historic District. Project funding was provided by a number of sources that included, a Neighborhood Stabilization Program Grant, HOME Funds Grant, and Town of Bluffton general fund.
The Town of Bluffton continues to work closely with the South Carolina State Housing Finance and Development Authority, Beaufort Housing Authority, and the Lowcountry Council of Governments on this project. As the recent recipient of the 2012 Palmetto Forum Affordable Housing Achievement Award, the town believes that this project serves as a model for future development and growth throughout the Lowcountry and exemplifies innovation, best practices, and excellence in providing affordable housing.

The tranquil blue-white ice fields that have served the harp seals as a nursery for the last three weeks have been turned into a Dantean portrait from hell. Streams of blood flow and pool on the ice and the vacant-eyed, cruelly-skinned corpses of thousands of seal pups litter the ice. In the open leads, bleeding bodies bob, many sinking and not recorded in the quotas. The seals are being shot, kicked in the face, and bashed with clubs and spiked clubs called hak-a-piks.From the blog of Paul Watson, Captain of the Farley Mowat, as quoted by Karyn Strickler.
This is so nauseating.
I hope no one feels obligated to tell me about traditions, ways of life and people earning their living. Apartheid was a tradition, slavery was a way of life, and industries die as their usefulness is extinguished. It's time for the non-essential slaughter of sentient creatures to go the way of the locomotive and the hot metal letter press.

Cindy Simon finishes fifth
LONDON – U.S. judoka Cynthia Paige Simon dropped two matches today to finish fifth in the women's 57kg division on Friday at ExCel.
Simon's first match against Spain's Monica Merenciano Herrero, an eventual bronze medalist, ended in ippon. "It was not the outcome I wanted, but it is not over yet," she said after the first match. "I just have to keep my head in the right place."
In Judo, two bronze medals are awarded in each weight class, and Simon faced Duygu Cete of Turkey in one of those medals later on Friday. The pair fought it out for the standard five minutes and Cete was victorious when the clock ran out, besting Simon by a thrown known as Waza-ari with Ashi-guruma.
"[Simon] did really well," said U.S. coach Heidi Moore, making note that Simon only learned she would be competing in the Paralympic Games two weeks prior. (Simon replaced the Jordan Mouton, who withdrew from the Games due to injury.)
"I fought a hard match," Simon said. "Don't worry; I will be coming back for Rio."

'Jai Ho' has been 'manfully' trying scale the peak achieved by Aamir Khan's history-creating Dhoom 3, which bagged in excess of Rs 530 crore, but to no avail.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who has been tweeting about Jai ho's day-to-day box office collections, said the movie is yet to enter the Rs 100 crore mark (domestic business), which is unlike any Salman Khan movie released in the past 3-4 years.
As of Tuesday, Jai Ho box office collections were Rs 77.48 crore nett (India biz only). The movie did a business of Rs 60.68 crore over the business followed by Rs 9.50 crore on Monday and Rs 7.30 crore on Tuesday.
#JaiHo Wknd 60.68 cr, Mon 9.50 cr, Tue 7.30 cr. Total: ₹ 77.48 cr nett. India biz only, Adarsh had tweeted on Wednesday.
Salman Khan's latest has, however, just managed to enter the elite Rs 100 club if worldwide collections are taken into account. As far as overseas box office collections are concerned, 'Jai Ho' box office collections till Monday had been $3.55 mn (Rs 22.36 cr).
Jai Ho collected a 'meager' Rs 17.75 crore on its opening day. Though the film's business did pick up on January 26 and collected Rs 26 crore, it was unable to sustain it the next day. Aamir Khan-starrer Dhoom 3 has the highest opening day domestic box office collections of Rs 36.22 crore.
Salman Khan, who had earlier taken the blame for the debacle of Jai Ho, took to Twitter to thank fans for their support.
But industry sources quote Jai Ho figures as 'respectable' though not 'hot', as January usually is a slow start for all businesses in overseas markets owing to the extended holiday winter break in western countries.
According to film trade analyst Komal Nahta, Jai Ho has already made a profit of Rs 100 core. "For all those asking, Salman and Sohail have made Rs 100 crore profit in JAI HO. So relax!", Nahta had tweeted.

Comedian Louis C.K.'s critically acclaimed FX series has always delivered an adept and sometimes uncomfortable blend of hilarity and realism. To up the stakes in the new season the show's lured in dramatic heavy hitters like Melissa Leo, comedy superstar Jerry Seinfeld and another performer who straddles the line, Robin Williams. The star/writer/director provides a taste of the upcoming travails of his onscreen alter ego.
On the decision to introduce Louie's previously unseen ex-wife Janet:
"I'm introducing new elements each year. I try to do something new that's new to the show. The stories that I wrote really led me to her. The show has really broken off into fiction much more in the last year and this year, and so it's really not drawing from my life so much anymore. This ex-wife character is completely not anything like my real ex-wife. And the actress [Susan Kalechi Watson] was so good…I really liked what this woman did, so I decided to stick with the character."
On this season's guest performers:
"I got a lot of great people this year. I won't tell you all of them, but Melissa Leo is in the second episode…I love Melissa Leo very much as an actor, and so she was in my head. When I wrote the thing that she's in, I wrote it in my head for the kind of women I knew in Boston growing up, and then it just hit me Melissa Leo would be amazing. She really approached it the way I wanted her to as an actress, you know?...F. Murray Abraham comes back; he's one of my favorite guys ever. Robin Williams does a thing on the show later in the season. There are a lot of guest stars that are piling up, and I'm excited about it."
On Jerry Seinfeld's extended guest stint:
"The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth episodes of this season are going to be a whole story of their own. It's going to be basically a three-part story, and it's what we put the most effort into, and Jerry is in that. I don't want to say anything about any of it because it's got a lot of guest stars, and a lot happens."
On why standup comedians so frequently have great acting skills:
"I do love standup. I love comedians. They're my community. And also, I guess, because I know so many of them, I know the value of them. I know what they can do. Comedians work great as actors because they're good under pressure. A lot of actors you have to sort of make them feel like everything's going really well to get a good performance out of them. But if you have a comedian on the set, you can tell them, "Hey, you really are screwing this up," and then they just get better."
On the reaction of his real-life daughters to be depicted, kind of, on the show:
"My show is an adult version of the same humor that I share with my children. They know whenever they see me on the show or onstage acting really angry, they just think it's hilarious because I'm not really like that. If I was an angry, detached, jerk of a father, then my show would probably be some kind of a nightmare for my kids, but they just think it's funny because Daddy's not like that. I mean, I get mad like anybody else does, but being able to laugh about getting mad is very healthy, and my kids know that. We share a lot. And really, I can only speak for them to a limit. They are my kids, but when they turn 18, you can ask them."

TRY SOMETHING NEW CHAPTER 6: Have Won Their First Victory.
So one of my co-workers today told me that they have no idea what it means when I write "RIYL" in my column. I guess I just thought that was something everyone knew. Seems not to be the case. This is like when I try and talk to my friends about… most of the things I try and talk to my friends about really. Blank stares. A sea of blank stares. An endless, bottomless, oppressive ocean of blank stares. Now I put my actual readership of this column at about 8 people split between the blog and the newsletter. One of those people is my dad for some reason. One is Forbidden Planet's tech-wizard/dancing machine Tyler, who gently informed me "I only read it because I have to." Then he thoughtfully added, "Stop mentioning me in your column." No. Anyway, I now wonder if any of my 6 other readers have understood why every book recommendation ends with a series of letters and a list of other books. Is my writing that disjointed that when I lapse into code and nonsense nobody bats an eye? Either way RIYL stands for "Recommended If You Like." It's an acronym. TRY SOMETHING NEW has just taken it's first step towards becoming educationalish.
Fun Fact: The word "acronym" is, in fact, an acronym. What is a.c.r.o.n.y.m. an a.c.r.o.n.y.m. for? Well you will have to use g.o.o.g.l.e. to find out the answer to that one. On with the show!
BIONIC MAN VS. BIONIC WOMAN #1. I don't know anything about this book. Didn't read it. Didn't read the BIONIC WOMAN comics that came before it. Didn't read the BIONIC MAN comics that came before it. Never watched the TV shows those comics are based on. So why am I recommending this book? It was written by a man named Keith Champagne. That is the best, most badass name in all of comics. This guy must get invited to every party in the world. People probably offer him money to sleep with them. I bet Keith Champagne could kill a man on live tv and never be arrested. I bet he owns a submarine. He probably wouldn't need a spacesuit on the moon. I feel like I got pregnant just talking about him. You know, I used to think Dennis Hopeless was the best name in comics. Boy was I wrong. Go buy Keith Champagne's book so he gets more writing gigs and we can talk about him more.
R.I.Y.L: I have no idea. Running in slow motion? Track suits? People with robot parts? Men and women fighting each other? No. Recommended if you like Keith Champagne. R.I.Y.L.K.C.
BLACK BEETLE: NO WAY OUT #1 is out this week. Why are there two different comics with color coded beetles as the main character? Because humans as a species are all really close to running out of ideas. That doesn't change the fact that Black Beetle is a very fun new series from superstar artist and sometimes writer Francesco Francavilla. With an art style that is most at home doing stylish and action packed noir stores, Mr. Francavilla has written a character that easily plays to his strengths. This pulp detective/superhero character has appeared in a few short stories in DARK HORSE PRESENTS that were collected as BLACK BEETLE #0, but now he heads out on his first longer case. If you have no exposure to this Black Beetle yet No Way Out #1 is a great place to jump on. Keith Champagne would want you to.
RIYL: Pulp stuff like THE SHADOW, THE ROCKETEER, or THE SPIDER, new superheroes who feel like old superheroes.
HARBINGER vol 1. OMEGA RISING. I am a big supporter of Valiant. They took a bunch of dead properties that only a few diehard fans cared about and brought them back to life in a big way last year. Rather than going out and spending a ton of money on big names who would do rush jobs on their properties, Valiant spent wisely. They got not the biggest names, but some of the best names, to thoughtfully and carefully bring their books to life. ARCHER & ARMSTRONG, X-O MANOWAR, & BLOODSHOT were some of the best superhero titles released last year, with writers like Fred Van Lente (HERCULES, COMIC BOOK HISTORY OF COMICS), Robert Venditti (SURROGATES, THE HOMELAND DIRECTIVE), Duane Swierczynski (PUNISHER, CABLE), (if they were smart they would hire Keith Champagne) making a smart and coherent universe for these characters. Fun, nice looking, and a good starting points without alienating old fans, the relaunch was well planned across the board. But the book that got me most excited, the book that shot my interest through the roof, was HARBINGER. Like a dark and cynical, yet compassionate take on the X-Men, Harbinger is the story of a superpowered teen who must learn to control his powers while others seek to use him for their own gains. This idea should be intriguing for any fan of capes comics, but I cared because Valiant went out and hired Joshua Dysart. Far from a household name but he should be, Mr. Dysart is probably best known for his run on SWAMP THING or writing the Neil Young comic that I didn't read. But Mr. Dysart also wrote my favorite comic of the last 5 years, one of my favorite stories of all time actually, UNKNOWN SOLDIER. If you haven't read UNKNOWN SOLDIER you are missing out on one of the great graphic narratives of our lifetime. I use a lot of hyperbole in this column but I kind of think that last sentence was true. It is hard for me to put into words how compelling and beautiful UNKNOWN SOLDIER is. HARBINGER, while no UNKNOWN SOLIDER, is however one of the best superhero setups we have seen in a long time and a reason to visit comic shops every month. Valiant are continuing their wonderful commitment to get people excited about their books by making this collection of the first 5 issues only $10. They are challenging you not to read it, daring you to continue to read the same old stuff when there is newer, better, and cheaper. Don't let Valiant make you look like an idiot. Buy HARBINGER vol. 1 today. Or this week at least.
RIYL: The more personal X-MEN stories, MORNING GLORIES, or RISING STARS.
ONE TRICK RIP-OFF. Paul Pope is one of those artists who has reached a level of success which means he doesn't have to put out a lot of work and it only increases peoples excitement. There are a few folks operating in this class now; Geoff Darrow, Ashley Wood, Darwyn Cooke, Charles Burns, folks like that. Paul Pope definitely leads the pack though. Sure they do things here and there from time to time, a shirt, a magazine cover, a short story, but a new book is a cause for serious celebration and excitement. Well Paul Pope has a new book this week. ONE TRICK RIP-OFF. And here's the thing. It's not even a new book and I am disturbingly excited. Originally it was published as short stories in DARK HORSE PRESENTS and later collected in the mid 90's, but this is the first time this story has been printed in color, and the first time it has been available at an affordable price in more than a decade. Containing the whole story, plus over 150 pages of other shorts, art, and rarities from Mr. Pope, this book is a no-brainer for people who want to study the work of one of the pioneers of modern comic visuals. Mr. Pope is a true badass in the comics world today and he rarely sticks his head out long enough for us to get work from him. Also, not as cool a name as Keith Champagne, but Paul Pope is a pretty awesome guy name. Grab this one while you can.
R.I.Y.L: Great art that is also really cool. Cooler than you or me.

Hi guys,
could you help me with this below?
This is how my restaurant site looks on mobile - the prices are fucked up and I would like to have them on the same line as the food/wine. I guess I need to add some space between, but dont know how. It is wordpress, I can also add a line into the css.
This is how the code looks:

Well, that's what floats do when there isn't room enough for them, they drop to the next line.
You can stop lines from wrapping with white-space: nowrap. But them scrolling will be needed instead if what you shows really takes up the whole screen. There are probably prettier ways of doing it, but something like this would work.
.item .food, .item .drink { float: left; clear: left;
white-space: nowrap }
.item .price { margin-left: 1em }

Then you can use those selectors for your text formatting so you can rid of style attributes and so on. Also, if the user doesn't have oswald-light installed, they will see another font, probably Times New Roman. That's why you should use backup fonts and have a generic font family at the end of the list.
But I have the feeling that you have other tings on the page that makes the available space too small for the floats. Just what you show looks like it would fit on a mobile screen. If that's the case you need to show us the real thing.

I got a little carried away by your floats. Actually, when done this way there is no point in floating. You can remove the float and clear declarations from the CSS and just let the DIVs stack.

Since the animated series called "The Thundercats" is going to be airing soon, or already is on Cartoon Network. Today I will be submitting a lesson on a very important member of Lion-O's group of heroes. Just think panther as you learn "how to draw Panthro", step by step. Panthro is recognized as being the brain of the Thundercats. He is also an excellent engineer, mechanic, and pilot. As you know the panther cat species is said to be one of the strongest big cats besides the lion. Now because Panthro is a character based on the panther, he too is a very strong warrior. He is a fine martial artist, and even though everything listed on Panthro's bio sounds very amazing, there is a couple of flaws. First of all he is very quick to lose his temper, and number two, his only weakness is his incredible fear of bats. I know everybody has their own personal weaknesses, but Panthro is one bad azz Thunderian that can be reckoned with if you're worth it. Have fun with this tutorial on "how to draw Panthro", and I will be back in a bit with more drawing fun. Adios people and enjoy your drawing day!

April 6, 2003
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - For the second time in 2003 the Santa Clara University baseball team swept an opponent, taking game three of the three-game set from San Francisco by a 7-3 score Sunday afternoon at Benedetti Diamond.
The win improved the Broncos' record to 16-19 overall and 8-4 in West Coast Conference action while dropping the Dons' record to 13-22 overall and 6-9 in league play. The sweep plus a win earlier in the week against Saint Mary's gives the Broncos their first four-game win streak since sweeping Hawaii-Hilo in a four-game series in Kona, Hawaii earlier this year.
In spite of the three game sweep of the Dons, the Broncos gained no ground in the WCC Coast Division race as Pepperdine maintained their one game lead over SCU with a three game sweep of their own over West Division leader, San Diego.
The Broncos jumped out to an early 4-0 lead after the top half of the first inning as Scott Dierks got things started off with his 12th home run of the season. The solo shot over the left field fence was his fourth leadoff home run of the season. Jack Headley followed the homer with a double off the left field fence and scored two batters later when Jim Wallace hit a two-run opposite field home run onto Masonic Avenue. Will Thompson then drew a walk and moved up to third base on a throwing error by T.J. Franco on a failed pick off attempt. Thompson scored on the very next play as Michael Thompson, no relation, picked up the RBI with a sacrifice fly out to right field.
Dierks started the Bronco rally in the top of the seventh inning as he led off with a double of the left field fence. He advanced to third on a groundout to shortstop by Headley before scoring on a single to right field by Wallace. Wallace would come around to score one batter later as he was off on the pitch that Will Thompson singled to left center, plating Wallace for a 6-0 SCU lead.
Kellan McConnell had a good outing for the Broncos as the starting pitcher, throwing four full innings in which he allowed no runs on only two hits with no walks and four strikeouts. He was pulled in favor of John Redmond to begin the fifth as he reached his pitch count maximum of 65 pitches as he is still recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Redmond improved to 3-3 on the season as he threw three full innings in which he allowed only one hit during his time on the mound. He gave way to Andrew Slorp who faced three batters, walking one and hitting the other two before being replaced by Anthony Rea.
Rea came on and got the Broncos out of the inning despite allowing a single up the middle by Jonnie Knoble that scored two runners, both of which were credited to Slorp. Rea registered two strikeouts and a groundout to keep the Broncos ahead with the 7-2.
Scott Shapiro came on in the ninth and recorded two outs, including one on a strikeout, before giving up a walk to Royce Fukuroku who would score on a single to center field by Ryan Hanson. The RBI single by Hanson prompted the Broncos to make another change on the mound, brining in Patrick Overholt. Overholt made quick work of pinch-hitter Anthony Jimenez, striking him out on three straight pitches to preserve the 7-3 win.
The Broncos return home next weekend for a four game homestand beginning with No. 4 Stanford Tuesday night at 6 p.m. San Diego will travel to Buck Shaw Stadium for a three-game weekend series beginning Friday night at 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday's contests are both slated for 1 p.m. starts.

James Bond Aston Martin to fetch 250k at auction
An Aston Martin car with special features, thought to be the inspiration for the car driven by fictional spy James Bond, is to be auctioned.
The Aston Martin DB 2/4, made in 1955, could fetch as much as £250,000 when it comes under the hammer at a Coys auction at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire on July 12.
The car was off the road collecting dust and rust for many years until a father-and-son team bought it and restored it.
It was during this restoration that the car's links with M15 and with Bond creator Ian Fleming came to light.
An Aston Martin DB5, complete with gadgets, appeared in the 1964 Bond film Goldfinger and it is thought that this car was modelled on the DB 2/4 now up for sale.
The car to be auctioned has a number of one-off special items, including reinforced steel bumpers, a heavy-duty anti-interference ignition system, driver's seat connections for two-way radio and/or a homing device, and a device which accurately computes time and distance in relation to a pre-selected average speed.
Coys managing partner Chris Routledge said: "The story around this car and its discovery is phenomenal. It was owned by Philip Ingram Cunliffe-Lister, whose father was Lord Swinton, a close confidant of Winston Churchill and head of MI5 during the Second World War.
"Moreover, the vehicle was regularly at Ian Fleming's direct next-door neighbour in Kent, and indeed it was the next-door neighbour's house which was also used as inspiration in the Bond novels, this time as (the villain) Drax's residence in the novel Moonraker."

If you're a spiritual person, you understand how deeply religion permeates the lives of people throughout the world. Imagine then, being given the chance to put down the Bible and physically experience the sights, smells, and sounds described on those very pages.
In addition to our popular international destinations that sell out quickly, an equally popular traveling experience is our journeys to the Holy Lands. Christian groups in particular contact us to help them design the perfect trip for their congregation or church group, to experience the lands where Jesus once walked and ministered.
As you probably know, every Christian denomination has its own unique way of observing its faith. For example, Catholics believe Jesus was resurrected from Calvary, which is now within the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Many Protestant denominations want to visit the Garden Tomb, widely considered to be Jesus' burial place. Seventh Day Adventist groups schedule their worship services on the Jewish Sabbath, rather than on Sunday. And so on.
Every denomination experiences Jesus' life in the Holy Land differently. That's why, while we've carefully designed our tours to include the all relevant places to Christian travelers, we also give our pilgrims the chance to customize their trips. We understand completely the commitment and emotional investment a traveler makes in choosing a pilgrimage, and we go to great lengths to design and operate our tours so that they provide an experience that is at once deeply spiritual and rewarding, as a vacation should be.
At the same time, we calculate prices with a razor sharp pencil, knowing that we must be excellent stewards of our passengers' resources. A Holy Land group tour that is booked with Friendly Planet will be as inexpensive as it is rewarding. That's a commitment we've kept for 30 years, and we've got plenty of pastors and their congregations who'll vouch that we keep our commitments.
Our specialty Holy Lands tours center around a nine day itinerary that typically begins in the north with a night in Tel Aviv or vicinity upon arrival, then continues through the Galilee and then up to Jerusalem, usually the highlight of the trip. The program encompasses the perfect blend of breathtaking natural scenery, incredible historical sites, and awe-inspiring religious significance. A perfect journey of Biblical discovery and spiritual renewal is the goal for every group, where the Bible comes alive for all.
Here's how it works. We help each group plan its ideal itinerary. While nine days is the most popular tour length, the itinerary can be extended to include more of Israel or other countries in the region, such as Jordan, with visits to Petra and Mt. Nebo, and Egypt. Once the details are clear, we will prepare a costing based on all the desired features, including the most convenient gateway for the group. Once everything is agreed upon, we'll create an attractive web page which we post on our website, so that the group can easily provide information to everyone who is going and for those who are just considering.
Pastors and tour leaders typically value this free exposure, and they use the Web page as a promotional tool to help recruit travelers. A special, personalized registration form is provided for every group, and group members have the option to book on line, by mail, or by telephone.
Our group tour leaders especially appreciate our service to them in every phase of the tour. We collect deposits and final payments, arrange for everything from flights, transfers, hotels, meals, special requests, even tipping. Group leaders can look to us to take care of all the details, so that they have plenty of time to recruit their group and then enjoy the tour.
The most recent Israel and Jordan tour took advantage of nine days of touring for just $2,380. And as with every Friendly Planet Travel vacation, the prices don't skimp on the details. They include roundtrip airfare, fuel surcharges, great hotels, transfers, many meals, touring, and more.
Destinations and tours for a personalized Israel/Jordan tour include Bethlehem; the Church of the Nativity; the Church of the Visitation; the Church of John the Baptist; Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found; the Shrine of the Book, and the newly restored model of Jerusalem from the Second Temple Period; Mount of Olives; the Garden of Gethsemane; the Church of All Nations; the Old City of Jerusalem; the Western Wall; the Byzantine Cardo; St. Anne's Church; the Crypt of Mary; the Church of the Holy Sepulcher; Mount Zion; the traditional burial site of King David; the Room of the Last Supper; the Garden Tomb; Calvary; the Dead Sea; Galilee; the Church of St. Peter; the Mount of Beatitudes, the site of Jesus's Sermon on the Mount; the Heptagon Church at Tabgha, where Jesus performed the Miracle of Loaves and Fish; and many, many more
As with all Friendly Planet Travel packages, prices includes airfare from the group's gateway city, fuel charges, all group transfers, superior hotel accommodations, buffet breakfast and dinner daily, comprehensive touring, and more.

Driftwood State Fish Hatchery
Vallonia, IN 47281
(812) 358-4110
Get Directions
Constructed under the Works Projects Administration (WPA) in the late 1930's, this warm water facility consists of 9 earthen rearing ponds and 1 brood-fish holding pond. The rearing ponds range from 0.6 to 2.0 acres in size and provide a total of 11.6 acres for raising fish. Maximum depth of each rearing pond is approximately 5 feet. Five, 1000 gallon linear raceways, housed in the fish culture portion of the office/service building, provide facilities for feed training and fish holding.
The primary fish culture responsibilities of the hatchery are management of Indiana's largemouth bass captive brood-stock program and production of Largemouth bass, Sauger, and Channel Catfish fingerlings for stocking in Indiana's many public waters. However, most all warm-water and cool-water species can be produced at this facility. Species raised in the past include bluegill, redear sunfish, black crappie, walleye, hybrid walleye, northern pike, and muskellunge.
Starve Hollow Lake is the sole water supply to the hatchery. Water is drawn from a depth of approximately 6.5 feet and gravity fed to the hatchery ponds. The water is passed through a 382 micron mechanical strainer to prevent contamination with lake fish, which would compete with; or prey on, those being raised. Water for the inside raceways is pumped from the brood-fish holding pond and/or Starve Hollow Lake.
The hatchery is staffed by one full-time Property Manager 2 and one full-time Laborer 3. The Urban Wildlife Biologist is also headquartered at the hatchery.
The hatchery is funded entirely from the Fish and Wildlife Fund, which is comprised of monies generated from the sale of hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses. All monies spent for hatchery operation are eligible for 75% reimbursement from Federal Dingle-Johnson and Wallop-Breaux funds.
- Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass production begins in April. Gravel filled nest boxes are placed in selected ponds to provide spawning sites. The boxes are placed a minimum of 25 feet apart to minimize fighting between the highly territorial males. Near the end of April, as water temperature approaches 65ºF., the bass brood fish are removed from the holding pond, sexed, and transferred to the spawning ponds. Approximately 50 pair are stocked per acre.
The male will select a spawning site and prepare a saucer-shaped nest by fanning the gravel free of silt with his tail. He then guards the site until a female arrives to deposit her eggs. The eggs are pale yellow in color, about 1.5 millimeters in size (0.06 inches), and have a sticky covering which allows them to adhere to the gravel in the nest. Once spawning is completed, the female leaves and the male remains to care for the eggs. Recent genetic research suggests that largemouth bass are monogamous with only one female visiting a nest site.
Hatching occurs 3 to 5 days after spawning. An additional 10 to 14 days are required for the fry to develop to the swim-up stage; at which time they will "school" over the nest.
The male cares for his family school until the fry are approximately 1.0 inches in length, at which time parental care ceases and the fry disperse to fend for themselves.
When the fry are large enough to safely handle, schools are captured by seining and transferred to "nursery" ponds. Heavy predation on the young bass occurs when left in the pond with the adults after the schools break up.
Preparation of the nursery ponds begins when brood-fish are moved to the spawning pond. The ponds are filled, and organic fertilizers (alfalfa meal or soybean meal and /or cottonseed meal) and inorganic fertilizer (18-46-0) are applied. The fertilizer promotes phyto- plankton (minute plants) production, which in turn promotes zooplankton (minute animals) production. The zooplankton provides forage for the bass fry during this early stage of life.
When zooplanktors are present in sufficient numbers, bass fry are stocked at approximately 60,000 per acre. Organic and inorganic fertilizer is applied weekly to maintain maximum plankton density. The fry will remain in the nursery ponds for about 35 days, at which time they will be approximately 2.0 inches in length. Look for "short fingerlings", as they are called at this stage, as they cruise the pond edge.
At 2.0 inches in length, the bass require larger prey, such as aquatic insects or small fish. The bass are removed from the nursery ponds, graded to insure size uniformity, and transferred to grow-out ponds for rearing to a fall stocking size of 4.0 inches. The number stocked is reduced to 11,000 per acre to insure the ability of the pond to produce adequate forage is not exceeded.
- Redear Sunfish
Redear sunfish generally begin spawning in late May and continue into July. Like its cousin, the largemouth bass, redear are nest builders and the male assumes the chores of nest construction and nest protection. Unlike bass, redear nest in colonies, with several nests in close proximity. Most avid pan fish anglers are quite familiar with the "moon scape" of a redear nesting area.
- Sauger
Sauger production begins in early April with pond fertilization, same as that used in bass nursery ponds, and filling.
When zooplanktors are present in sufficient numbers, five day old sac fry are placed in boxes containing plastic bags with water and an oxygen overlay at Cikana State Fish Hatchery and transported to Driftwood. The bags of fry are floated in the pond until pond and bag water temperatures are the same and then the fry are released into the pond.
After approximately thirty five days, the pond is harvested. The fingerlings are transferred to the culture room, weighed and measured, and loaded for stocking in public waters.
- Channel Catfish
Channel catfish yearlings, four to five inches in length, are picked up at East Fork SFH in late June and stocked in a pond previously use for bass "short" production. The fingerlings are fed a 36% protein floating commercial diet twice daily until mid October at which time they will be 9 to 12 inches in length and ready for stocking.
Goldfish and fathead minnows are also raised to provide forage for the largemouth bass brood fish housed at the facility. Approximately 2,000 pounds of forage fish are required annually to maintain Indiana's largemouth bass captive brood-stock program.
- Goldfish
Goldfish begin spawning when water temperature reaches 60ºF and continue throughout the summer if the pond is not overcrowded. The female, accompanied by one or more males, spawns over submerged vegetation; randomly scattering her eggs. The eggs stick and are left to hatch unattended. Strips of rye grass are planted around the pond edge to provide spawning habitat. Spawning mats on wood frames can be used if the pond is void of vegetation.
- Fathead Minnows
Fathead minnows begin spawning in May and continue through August. The eggs are deposited on the underside of objects in the pond and are attended by the male. Fathead minnows are fast growers, with some individuals spawning the same season they were hatched.
Both goldfish and minnows forage on plankton, and fertilization techniques are similar to that used for game fish production.
Look for adult goldfish as they sun themselves near the surface, and look for fingerlings as they feed around the pond perimeter.
Driftwood is an extensive culture facility. Most fish species are raised on those food items which occur naturally in ponds such as zooplankton (minute animals), aquatic insects, frogs, snails, etc. The number of fish which can be raised is limited by the amount of forage the pond can produce; its carrying capacity. Fish production can be increased above the natural carrying capacity of a pond through the use of formulated feeds. Some species take readily to artificial diets.
To be as efficient as possible, ponds are multi-cropped. For instance, fathead minnows are usually raised in ponds previously used for bass short fingerling rearing, channel catfish are raised in ponds previously used for bass spawning, and so on.
Maintaining adequate water quality is a very important task in the operation of the hatchery. Oxygen must be maintained above 5 parts per million; or growth and survival will be reduced, and other gases (carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc.) must remain below critical lethal concentration. Oxygen concentration is typically monitored at first light when the level is theoretically at its lowest, and is monitored more closely during the summer months than in the spring and fall; usually daily. This is because warm water holds less oxygen than cold water. In addition, higher temperatures result in increased metabolic and respiration rate in fish and increased decomposition of organic matter, causing increased oxygen use.
Mechanical aeration/circulation is used to improve the water quality of the pond. A centrally located 150 CFM blower system supplies aeration to the nine rearing ponds. Atmospheric air is injected near the bottom in the deep end. As the air rises, the upper water is pushed away and the bottom water moves in to fill the void (note the boil). This action causes the pond to continuously "turn over", which in turn mixes oxygen throughout the water column. It also keeps nutrients suspended in the water and available for plankton use.
During the growing season, aquatic vegetation is monitored and controlled as needed. "Summer kills" occur when oxygen depletion results from a die-off of a large algal bloom or extensive weed growth. Pond harvest is also affected as the fingerlings become trapped under the vegetation. Also, excessive algae plugs screens, slowing harvest and subjecting the fingerlings to longer periods of stress.
Fish production accounts for only part of the day to day operation of an extensive culture operation. Mowing and trimming of grounds to maintain a pleasant appearance, mowing levees to aid in the detection of muskrat dens and limit fish predators and disease vectors, maintaining buildings and structures, maintenance, repair and fabrication of equipment, and administrative duties are all equally important to the operation of the hatchery.
The months of October and November are generally when the fall fingerling ponds are harvested in preparation for stocking public waters. The fingerlings are moved to the culture room, graded, counted, weighed and measured, and then loaded, at prescribed pounds of fish per gallon of water, into insulated transport tanks for the trip to their new home. While in transit, water conditioners, bottled oxygen, and agitation are applied to the transport water to minimize stress and insure a healthy product. At the lake, the fingerlings are acclimated to the temperature and chemistry of the receiving water before being unloaded.

BlackBerry Up 5%: Citron Sees $15 Value, Shorts Are All Wrong
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) are up 45 cents, over 5%, at $9.01, after the stock got a thumbs up this afternoon from the most unlikely of places, notorious short sellers Citron Research, who argue today that short sellers are misguided in their negativism on the smartphone maker.
"As a short seller, nothing creates a better investment opportunity than a heavily shorted stock based on a flawed thesis," write the Citron team.
Citron argues short-sellers are still fixated on the company's defeat in the smartphone market at the hands of Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG), but that they need to "get over it."
What makes the situation more interesting is the incredible amount of unwarranted bearishness coming from Wall Street analysts. Virtually every major Wall Street firm currently has a Hold or Sell on the stock, based on the same substantially flawed analysis.
Instead, the firm argues CEO John Chen, installed in November, has significantly de-risked the balance sheet of the company, an improvement that is not reflected in media coverage of a failing handset maker:
The new strategy -- eliminating device inventory risks and refocusing on enterprise software business -- has already significantly de-risked Blackberry's balance sheet. Street estimates of its cash position outlook in the future largely portray the company stabilizing its cash flow within the next few quarters. RBC, for example, sees Blackberry stabilizing its cash position in the 3rd quarter of fiscal 2015, which is three quarters from now. While investors are bombarded on a daily basis with media articles about the struggling handset maker as if the Company was going to fall apart any day, the reality is it has a healthy balance sheet, with ample liquidity to execute its turnaround strategy and make the necessary investments for growth.
The authors lambast various "misperception" examples, including an article by BusinessWeek's Joshua Brustein yesterday -- "the journalist ridiculed Blackberry's recent press release of selling 1,000 BB 10 devices and further emphasized the fact that at its peak, Blackberry sold 7,000 phones per hour -- and they attack a report by Citigroup's Ehud Gelblum's December 10 initiationof coverage with a Sell rating, writing "Again, the analyst's focus here is still on BB10 devices and has yet to manage to realize Blackberry today is an enterprise software play. Why? It's because the Citi research analyst covers Communication Equipment rather than Enterprise Software."
The authors write that all these parties are missing "The New BlackBerry," a software company:
It is going to be an enterprise software company with focus on mobile device management solutions and other potential mobile enterprise software opportunities. The Blackberry today is a fundamentally different company from the old Blackberry that investors were familiar with just a short few months ago before John Chen stepped in.
After lauding BlackBerry's "BES" device management software, its "BBM" group-messaging application, and its "QNX" embedded operating system, the authors argue for the value of the company's patent holdings:
Analysts have pegged different value on Blackberry's patent portfolio, ranging from $1 billion to $3 billion. The company was ranked 20th in number of US patent approval for 2013 with 1334 patents approved over the course of the year. Its market capitalization today is a small fraction of virtually every single one of the companies ranked in top 30.
In conclusion, the authors cite this as one of their rare long positions:
Our readers will know that Citron does not undertake a long position in any stock often. And when we do recommend a stock, it is with a reason. (For example, we tweeted about APOL below 20 (after having exposed its major regulatory vulnerability in 2009 when it was over 80), MOVE at 11 in May 2013, WUBA at 24 in October, ATHM below 30 in December. We shared our SOHU valuation analysis writeup (March and August 2012, when the stock was in the 40's). These positions have stood the test of time respectably. It is Citron's opinion that Blackberry shorts would be well served to update their research. (Many already have: short interest has fallen from over 32.2% in mid-November, to appx 20.7% as of 12/31/13.) It is Citron's opinion that it is suicidal to bet against well-capitalized strong management in the enterprise mobile space. It's just our honest opinion that once conservative valuations against Blackberry's very viable and highly legitimate enterprise technology businesses are in place, this stock could easily double. The anticipated 2014 IPO's of much less firmly-rooted competitors will only serve to bolster this thesis. Of course ... as always … "Cautious investing to all" ... long or short.

mike miura has not received any gifts yet
Hi again Mike,
I'll see on Sunday at 07:30 am at Desert Horizon C.C.
Have a great week and let me know if anything comes up as well.
Hi Mike,
Why not hit this coming Wednesday at 07:30 am at your place, unless you prefer Sunday at the same time ? My cell phone is 858-357-7674 if you need to reach me.
Let me know if that works for you.
Hi Mike, we can hit sunday morning (8/21) preferably very early (I am ready for 0600 or 0700 am), or wednesday (8/17, around 06:45 -0700 am). I can drive as well to Desert Horizons cc, if you tell the guys at the gate that I am coming. Otherwise we can alternate between your courts and the public courts in the Cove in La quinta (more than decent courts as well, recently resurfaced). I think you will have a good time playing with me, even though it may (or may not !) take me a couple sessions for me to adjust to your level. I've always had a very good technique which allows me to be fairly consistent even when I haven't played for a while. I played quite a few times recently, so it should not be a problem. Let me know what works for you, and let's try to hit a few times before you go to Seattle. I live in La Quinta year round, so we can hit whenever you are in town if our schedules coincide. Thanks Mike.

Rookies & J-Roll
A painful walk-off loss, the Phillies 11th, on Sunday night in Atlanta was followed by a day game in Cincinnati on Monday against the leading Cy Young Award candidate who was 11-0 in day games. Rookie Tyler Cloyd would be making his second big league start.
Odds were in Cincinnati's favor but that's why the games are played. Cloyd, along with fellow rookies DeFratus and Aumont bested the Reds, 4-2. Cueto had allowed just five home runs at home this season and the Phillies got to him for two, a three-run job by J-Roll and solo from Mayberry.
Lerud, catching his second major league game, got his second major league hit with two out in the 5th inning. Cloyd followed with his first hit and J-Roll drove one into the right field seats, his 1,999th career hit. Just think, Lerud and Cloyd are only 1,996 hits behind Jimmy.
Just think, winning five of those 11 walk-off losses would have painted a rosier picture in the wildcard race. But, would have doesn't count in the standings. Two more games in Cincinnati and then 13 against four teams with losing records. Mathematically, there's still hope. The percentages are against the Phillies but that's why they play the games. Just like Sunday.
2000-Hit Club
J-Roll's next hit puts him in an exclusive 2,000-hit club with the Phillies. Only three of the 1,909 who have worn a Phillies uniform have reached that level: Mike Schmidt (2,234), Richie Ashburn (2,217) and Ed Delahanty (2,207). All are Hall of Famers.
Schmidt's 2,000th hit came on a home run, June 14, 1987, off Curt Brown in Montreal. Ashburn's was a single, August 15, 1958, off Carlton Willey in Milwaukee. Delahanty played from 1888-89; 1891-1901. Day-by-day records are not available from his era.
Down On The Farm
Lehigh Valley, eliminated from postseason play on Saturday night, was rained out in the season finale on Sunday. IronPigs
Reading advanced to the Eastern League playoffs with a 7-3 win at Portland on Sunday. The R-Phillies finished second, 1 game ahead of New Britain who won its sixth straight game but fell short. (First and second place winners in each division qualify for the postseason). Best-of-5 series vs. 1st-place Trenton starts on Wednesday at Reading. R-Phillies won season series, 7-6. Winner advances to the best-of-5 championship round.
Clearwater's season ended Sunday. The Threshers finished in 2nd place, 1 game out of first place in the second half. First and second half winners reach the playoffs. Final home game on Saturday drew 7,054 and pushed Clearwater's final total to a record 177,297.
Lakewood ended its season on Monday with a 3-2, 10-inning loss to Greensboro. RF Kelly Dugan was 3-3 and finished at .300.
Darin Ruf Update
Finished the season with a .317 average and led the league in 38 homers and 104 RBI. Fell short of the Triple Crown as Altoona's Brock Holt won the batting title, .322.
Ruf hit .371 in August with 20 homers and 36 RBI in 31 games. His 20 homers tied pro baseball's record for one month, set by Sammy Sosa in June of 1998.
Trivia Time
Who holds the Phillies big league record for homers in a month?
Klein, Schmidt, Thome, Howard?
Try Cy Williams, 15, in May 1923 and matched by Jim Thome in June 2004.
September 4, 1962: Phillies lose at Houston, 4-1, after winning the first 17 games of the season against the Colt 45s.
September 4, 1970: Game in Pittsburgh is suspended with Pirates leading, 4-1, after six innings when the automatic tarpaulin gets stuck while trying to cover the field during rain. Game resumed next day with a Phillies rally falling short, 4-3.

Online backup for business is a technique of data loss prevention wherein files, emails, projects or entire computer system files are copied and saved offsite. Because of the worlds fragility to natural disasters and other catastrophic events, data loss disaster preparedness method is a must in small and large business enterprises. Crashing hard disks due to virus, Trojans and worms and stolen laptops have also become great threats to data whether at home, universities and companies.
The best time to prepare for data loss prevention is today. Online backup for business is a solution that is right and fit for any disastrous situation that might lead to data loss. This solution offers many advantages. One is its mobility. Because it is remote, it can be managed anytime, anywhere for as long as there is internet connection. Another striking feature of online backup is its ability to perform backup without having to interrupt work-a hot backup, a non-disruptive backup.
With mobility comes the ease in data restoration-security process. This is crucial especially with stolen laptops. SafePoint is one of the many technologies that you should look into. With this, data contained in a stolen laptop can be wiped out or destroyed remotely the moment the laptop is connected to the internet.
Security-wise, online backup offers features of data privacy and security the moment data goes out of the clients computers or servers. One type of security is encryption. Simply put, encryption is changing data into an unreadable form. Decryption is done to make it readable again. Encryption/Decryption is extremely important especially when the network is unshielded or unprotected from the outside world like having no VPN at all.
Management-wise, this presents client-free interference. After the necessary configuration and deployment, automatic backup takes charge of all the necessary work that secures data. This does not only benefit individual end users but system administrators as well.
There are many online backup for business solutions available in the market today. Ask for quotes before deciding which backup program to enjoy. Be wise in selecting the best quality of online backup for business that will help you prepare from unwanted data loss. Online backup experts are willing to help you meet the best backup service that will fit your budget.
The last thing any business needs is to have their data lost or worse yet stolen by a hacker. If you think it can not happen to your business, just watch the news and see how many times it happens and understand that it happens more often that gets reported. The price is very small for the peace of mind knowing that your data is critical.
