Twisted Tale; Rescue; Holly Hustle
Aired August 7, 2011 - 20:00 ET
ANNOUNCER: Tonight on CNN PRESENTS. Rescue. What it takes to become one of the Coast Guard's elite rescue swimmers. KAJ LARSEN, CNN PRESENTS: Here we go. ANNOUNCER: Kaj Larsen takes you inside a rescue mission. "Hollywood Hustle." POPPY HARLOW, CNN PRESENTS: You say you've been robbed for the last few decades. DAVID CASSIDY, POP STAR: What would you call it? ANNOUNCER: Pop star David Cassidy claims he was ripped off over his pop idol image. But first, a pizza delivery man robs a bank with a bomb around his neck. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: These suckers say you've got 55 minutes, man. What are you going to do? ANNOUNCER: And that's just the beginning of one of the most bizarre crimes ever. CNN's Drew Griffin unravels the "Twisted Tale" of the man known as the pizza bomber. UNIDENTIFIED 911 DISPATCHER: 911. What's your emergency. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes. We just have been robbed. UNIDENTIFIED 911 DISPATCHER: Was anyone hurt? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No. He just walked out the door. DREW GRIFFIN, CNN PRESENTS (voice-over): August 28th, 2003. Erie, Pennsylvania. Within minutes of robbing a bank, Brian Wells is surrounded by police. Cross legged on the ground and handcuffed. He told police, he was a pizza delivery man and he delivered a pizza. The group he delivered it to captured him, he told police. Put this bomb on his neck and told him to rob a bank. BRIAN WELLS, ROBBERY SUSPECT: Can you call my boss? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. GRIFFIN: He asks police to call his boss. Then to save his life. WELLS: Why is it nobody's trying to come get this thing off me? GRIFFIN: Twenty-five minutes ticked by. Then the device begins to beep. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I heard the thing ticking when he did it. WELLS: It's going to go off. GRIFFIN: In an instant, the bank robber is dead. (On camera): The death of Brian Wells in this parking lot that day turned out to be only the beginning of the most elaborate, intricate, and some say still unsolved bank robbery case the FBI has ever had. DAVID HICKTON, U.S. ATTORNEY, WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA: At the end of it all, our system worked. Our law enforcement partners solved the puzzle and we achieved convictions and long sentences. GRIFFIN: The FBI, the local police, and the U.S. attorney's office simply want this case to be closed. But is it? Tonight, you decide. Did the FBI catch all the suspects? Did the FBI let one of them walk? And did the FBI make a mistake putting blame on a pizza delivery man whose secrets blew up in a parking lot. It was other hot Thursday afternoon. Jean Heid was expecting to see her brother at a party that night but she had errand to run. A quick shopping trip on Erie's Pete Street, but there was trouble. Police had blocked the road. Cops and cars everywhere. She turned around and went home. It was only later that night, watching the 10:00 news, she learned what that traffic was all about. JEAN HEID, BRIAN WELL'S SISTER: My kids are sitting on the couch and then the story airs of this bank robbery. And a man came into the bank with a bomb on him. GRIFFIN (on camera): You are recognizing -- HEID: My brother sitting there with this bomb on him, and I'm thinking, OK, the police have him. They'll find out who did this to him. Then as it goes on, it is like -- Brian exploded. You know the bomb went off. Brian is dead. And I'm like, I can't believe this. GRIFFIN (voice-over): After the explosion, one of the first things the cops did was look inside his car. And they found these. Meticulous notes that amounted to a bizarre scavenger hunt. Notes given to Brian Wells, instructing him to follow a lengthy set of orders if he wanted to survive. RICH SCHAPIRO, WIRED MAGAZINE: Laying out this puzzling, highly complex scavenger hunt directing him to go to specific places. GRIFFIN: Rich Schapiro is a journalist who's written extensively about the robbery for the "Wired" magazine. SCHAPIRO: The notes suggested at the very end of this, if he completed it in the allotted time which wasn't much, that he would be able to save his life. GRIFFIN (on camera): Have you asked yourself why didn't my brother Brian get in that car and drive straight to the police station? HEID: No. I never asked that because Brian was in survival mode. I truly believe that he was trying to save his life and others' lives. GRIFFIN (voice-over): But the police had no idea what to think. Was Brian Wells a victim? Was he in on the robbery? What were those notes all about and who wrote them? Why? There were no answers, but plenty of agencies wanting to be involved in the biggest case Erie had ever seen. BOB RUDGE, FBI SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE: We have formed a multiagency task force comprised of the Pennsylvania State Police, the ATF, the Erie Police Department, specifically their bomb squad, the United States Attorney's Office, and the Erie County District Attorney's Office. JIM FISHER, RETIRED FBI AGENT: I wouldn't be surprised if some game warden from Warren PA was on the task force. GRIFFIN: Jim Fisher, a former FBI agent and criminologist, studied the case from the beginning. FISHER: So you have 50 people running around, randomly conducting, you know, leads with very little coordination. No one really seemed to be in charge. GRIFFIN: From the outset, he believe the FBI, the Erie Police, all the law enforcement agencies involved were on the wrong track. This was not, he says, a bank robbery. (On camera): You believe Brian Wells was murdered. FISHER: Well, he was murdered and it was a first-degree murder. This was an intentional, premeditated homicide. Moreover, it was extremely cruel in the way the crime was executed. GRIFFIN (voice-over): Not just the crime, the actual bomb was a crude masterpiece of someone's twisted art. Police would find intricate decoy cables, homemade lock. It all made into a bizarre puzzle, wrapped around the neck of the victim. And whatever this was -- a bank robbery, a violent murder -- the case was about to take another bizarre, almost unreal twist. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There is a frozen body. It's in the freezer in the garage. GRIFFIN: A second body. This one hidden in the freezer. And a new suspect telling an even stranger tale. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What came in first? The body or the freezer? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The body came in. I put it on a cart. GRIFFIN: Just ahead, a man, a body, and an ever expanding cast of suspects. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) GRIFFIN (voice-over): As Brian Wells was on the ground in that half-hour, after he robbed the bank, another man was watching everything unfold from across the street. According to an FBI affidavit, informants said a 63-year-old handyman name William Rothstein was sitting in his car, eyes focused on Brian Wells. Bill Rothstein, officials later said, was the mastermind behind the entire scheme. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I put a cut piece of green tarp down here to put his body on. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. GRIFFIN: This is Bill Rothstein a few months after that bank robbery. In a police evidence tape, where he is explaining to a detective how he helped a former girlfriend, Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, dispose of a body. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What came in first, the body or the freezer? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The body came in. I put it on the cart. I'll show you where the cart is. And the cart has big wheels. Not the cart with the small wheels. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Was it this one? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. That one there. GRIFFIN (on camera): But what's really going on here? What did that body in the freezer and Bill Rothstein's confession have to do with the collar bomb explosion that killed Brian Wells? In a word, everything. (Voice-over): Bill Rothstein told police he was just doing Marjorie a favor. He claimed Marjorie had killed her abusive ex- boyfriend named Jim Roden. But the FBI's investigation tell another story. Roden knew about the bank robbery plot and was about to go to police. Rothstein made that mess go away. DOUGLAS SUGHRUE, MARJORIE DIEHL-ARMSTRONG'S ATTORNEY: He came to the house and helped. He took the body out, cleaned everything up. Cleaned the walls. Replaced floor boards, replaced everything. Painted. Got rid of everything that might have blood on it. GRIFFIN: After Rothstein turned her into police for the murder of her ex-boyfriend, Marjorie stunned investigators with another twist. She connected Rothstein to Erie's biggest bank robbery. SUGHRUE: I mean to build the bomb and test the bomb and all the components, she had to have already been building it and designing it. In doing that, he also said I need some money. So Marjorie just gave him like $75,000 worth of money that she also kept at the house. So Bill Rothstein was left with two of the most important thing to hold over Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong. Number one, all of her money and number two, a dead body that would make her lose her liberty for the rest of her life. GRIFFIN: Even though Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong had been talking with police, it took the FBI nearly four more years before it could tie up all the loose ends. Everybody, the FBI said, was involved with the robbery. Bill Rothstein, Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, even another suspect, a crack dealer named Kenneth Barnes, and Barnes claimed Brian Wells was in on the plot from the beginning. And that he was duped. SCHAPIRO: Wells was essentially told he would be robbing the bank but the device that was being put around his neck would be fake. So he would not be putting himself in harm's way. As it turns out, he was double crossed. GRIFFIN: Criminologist Jim Fisher believes it was Rothstein who wanted to pull off the perfect diabolical crime that would baffle investigators. The elaborate scavenger hunt would eventually send police to a dead end. The confusing yet meticulously crafted collar bomb, even the white T-shirt Brian Wells wore into the bank, spray painted with the word the "guess." To Fisher, all of it hatched in the mind of a madman. FISHER: They're the kind of motives we can understand. Like a standard bank robbery. Someone needs the money. And then we have a category of crime involving motives that a normal person you can't really understand. GRIFFIN (on camera): You're describing Bill Rothstein. FISHER: That would be Bill Rothstein in my mind. To me he fits to a tee the profile of someone who commits such a bizarre and pathological crime. GRIFFIN (on camera): But now four years after the original crime, the government had to prove in court its theory was correct. And there were two big problems. Rothstein, the alleged mastermind, died before even officially being linked to the crime. And the other main suspect, Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, had told so many lies, she was showing evidence of mental problems and a personality disorder. SUGHRUE: The mental illness was a 30-year history. The personality disorders were a 30-year history. GRIFFIN (voice-over): Over many delays and many more years, the government finally obtained convictions on charges of bank robbery and murder. Life plus 30 years for Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong. A lesser sentence for accomplice Kenneth Barnes because he testified on behalf of prosecutors. And Brian Wells who died with that bomb around his neck, well, the federal government said he too was in on the crime. HEID: When Brian delivered pizza, he was accosted at gunpoint by a group of strangers whom he did not know. They shot at him. When he tried to run away, they knocked him to the ground. GRIFFIN (on camera): The FBI version of that, as you know, is different. HEID: That's a lie. That's a lie. That's all their fabrication. GRIFFIN: The FBI did agree to sit down with CNN to explain their case and their prosecution. How it all went down. They just wanted to know the day we'd arrive here in Erie and where the interview would take place. Then the FBI began asking us questions. Who else would be interviewed for this report? And suddenly, the interview with the FBI was off. (Voice-over): Jim Fisher says the FBI and the U.S. attorney took the easy way out. And never really solved the case. FISHER: Bill Rothstein died about a year after the crime. And he died with, in my opinion, all the secrets, all the answers, and to that extent, well, nobody literally dies laughing, he went to his grave knowing that he had outfoxed every one. GRIFFIN: Neither the U.S. Attorney's Office, nor the FBI, would comment to CNN about Fisher's assertions. And yet there is someone who is alive. Who Kenneth Barnes says was at Rothstein's house the day of the robbery but was never charged in the crime. He is the convicted sex offender granted immunity in exchange for testimony he was never asked to give. Next -- (On camera): Brian Wells' family is really wanting to know about you, sir. Please. (Voice-over): Could this man hold the answers that would finally solve the case? (COMMERCIAL BREAK) GRIFFIN (voice-over): In her search for justice, Jean Hyde says she has searched for years trying to learn the truth from the one man she believes now holds the keys to her brother's innocence. His name is Floyd A. Stockton. A convicted sex offender who authorities say was living with Bill Rothstein on the day of the bank robbery. He goes by the nickname Jay. HEID: Jay Stockton is a convicted rapist, serial sexual battery of his wife. And he is out there. He is out there, people. GRIFFIN: He is the only one left alive and sane enough to tell the truth, she believes. Yet the federal government has allowed him to go free. HEID: They know that my brother is innocent 100 percent. And they know that Bill Rothstein, Jay Stockton are the co-conspirators in this crime that killed Brian. GRIFFIN: According to this FBI affidavit, investigators learned of Stockton's knowledge to the crime when Stockton talked about it in a monitored phone call from jail. Stockton was released, then given immunity to testify for the government in the pizza bomb case. Investigators say they compared Stockton's handwriting to this handwriting on those scavenger notes found in Brian Wells' car. It was a perfect match. HEID: The authorities believe there were at least two people who wrote the notes and Jay Stockton is definitely one of them. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: On camera is Kenneth Eugene Barnes. GRIFFIN: There is also the testimony of this man. Kenneth Barnes. KENNETH BARNES: Like I say, I'd never kill anybody. GRIFFIN: Barnes pled guilty and is serving a 20-year sentence for his role in the case. But it's this FBI search warrant affidavit, now obtained by CNN, which raises even more questions about why Jay Stockton has been allowed to go free. According to the affidavit, Barnes and others involved in the case say Floyd Stockton was deeply involved in the plot. Barnes even telling the FBI, on the day of the crime, it was Stockton who went into the garage, got the collar bomb, and handed it to Rothstein. When we asked then U.S. attorney for western Pennsylvania, Mary Beth Buchanan, why Stockton never testified, and was never charged, she initially told us, Stockton was sick, had suffered several strokes and was unable to travel. After our initial phone call, Buchanan never talked to us again and at a news conference in Erie, the current U.S. attorney, David Hickton, wasn't forthcoming either. (On camera): What about Mr. Stockton? What can you tell us about his status? And will he ever be prosecuted for this? HICKTON: We're not in a position to comment on in Mr. Stockton. GRIFFIN (voice-over): Douglas Sughrue, Marjorie Diehl- Armstrong's attorney, says there's good reason the U.S. attorney and the FBI want to keep quiet about Jay Stockton. (On camera): Do you think he's the one person who got away with this? SUGHRUE: Yes, he got immunity from the government. Absolutely. Free and clear. Convicted sex offender, multi-time sex offender. The government felt that he was the least involved person. And so they gave him immunity. HEID: They shouldn't have given him immunity. He didn't deserve immunity. He deserved to -- he's the guilty one that killed my brother. He deserved to be brought to justice. GRIFFIN (voice-over): Stockton has been featured on the television show, "America's Most Wanted." Private investigators have tried to track him down but Stockton has literally vanished. At least, that is what he may have thought. Until the day we found him. These are pictures of Stockton today. Two hours north of Seattle, down a side street in Bellingham, Washington, we found Stockton where he told our investigator he's been living in this duplex for the past six years but was soon about to leave. A week later, we spotted him leaving the duplex in a pickup truck. We followed. To an RV sales lot where he was eyeing a large recreational vehicle. It was perhaps the first time in years anyone had mentioned his involvement in the pizza bomb case. (On camera): How are you doing, Mr. Stockton, right? Drew Griffin. I'm with CNN. How are you doing? It has taken a long time for me to find you. I wanted to ask you some questions. Sir, Brian Wells' family is really wanting to know about you, sir. Please. (Voice-over): As fast' could with his driver's side window lowered, Jay Stockton sped away, not saying a word. (On camera): Mr. Stockton, this is Drew Griffin again with CNN. Brian Wells' family is really just trying to get to the truth of the matter about particularly their brother. You're the only one alive and sane enough to tell the truth. And that's what they're after. (Voice-over): He has refused all of our phone calls, refused to respond to notes placed at his door. The assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted the case insists to us, Jay Stockton would tell us what the federal government has proven in court. That Brian Wells was involved with the bank robbery. MARSHALL PICCINNI, ASSISTANT U.S. ATTORNEY, WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA: No one could have sat through this criminal trial without understanding the degree of evidence linking Mr. Wells to these particular participants. GRIFFIN: In fact, the same affidavit that implicates Stockton repeatedly implicates Jean Heid's brother. The suspect involved, saying Brian Wells knew the plot all along, was involved in the planning, was part of the band of criminal misfits trying to rob a bank. Jean Heid will never believe that. She believes her government is lying. HEID: They let an innocent man, my brother, die while in their custody. And they didn't even lift a finger to help him. This case is going to be looked at for years to come. And they don't want it known that they screwed up. Brian never would have done this. ANNOUNCER: Next on CNN PRESENTS, Coast Guard rescue swimmers. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He's up above the water now. ANNOUNCER: Imbedding with those who save lives for a living. And later -- HARLOW: Are you fighting for more than money? MARION ROSS, "HAPPY DAYS": I think fairness. ANNOUNCER: The cast of "Happy Days" isn't so happy. The TV icons are demanding money for what they claim are mountains of merchandise cashing in on their image. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) LARSEN (voice-over): In North Carolina, Daniel Todd is on his way to a job it took him a year to train for. To do something that most people would think is crazy. Hovering above the Pascua Tank River, he jumps out of a perfectly good helicopter. Because what might be terrifying to some people is pretty normal for a Coast Guard rescue swimmer. The Coast Guard has 42,000 personnel stationed from Alaska to the Caribbean. But only 350 of them are part of the elite cadre of rescue swimmers. Today Petty Officer Todd is with cadets from the Coast Guard Academy. They're rewarded with candy before being lowered back into the water. But before the excitement of doing this -- UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Hurry up. Hurry up. LARSEN: Todd had to go through this. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Pick it up. Get up. Hold it up. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No need to rest. LARSEN (on camera): This morning, 7:00 a.m., getting up, I'm going to jump in with the rescue swimmer class to see what their physical training program is like. (Voice-over): Eighteen weeks of aviation survival technical school in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. It's a test of physical, mental, and intellectual strength. (On camera): As I look at the photos on the walls, I see some pretty small class sizes. I mean some of these -- you have two or three guys. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You do see some small classes. We take classes of 12. We may graduate six. We may graduate seven. We may graduate three, four, maybe two. LARSEN (voice-over): Senior Chief George (INAUDIBLE) runs the school. A school that's so selective that sometimes an entire class doesn't graduate. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Physically we don't usually have any problems on the PT grind or obviously in the classroom. But when we get in the water, the first three or four or five weeks, we see some students do give up and they grab the side. There's no side of the pool in the ocean that can mean the difference between someone living or dying and we won't have that. LARSEN: Fourteen students began in the class training during the course of our visit. Seven weeks in, only three remain. And with one injured, just two are training today. And one of them is Dave (INAUDIBLE). UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If you make it through this school, you can be called out to go out and save somebody's mom or dad or, you know, daughter or son, and that alone is just enough for me to want to be here. So just make it through the school. LARSEN (on camera): And how difficult is it? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's definitely difficult. This is something I've never -- I mean I can only imagine when I was working my way to get here. But it's definitely more difficult than I thought it would be. LARSEN (voice-over): Students spend three day of each week in the pool where motivation from the instructors is ever present. This week students are practicing large scale rescue scenarios for the first time. Training for such diverse situations as a burning oil rig and water rescues. (On camera): What are we simulating? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Two surfers in distress sitting outside the surf line on their surfboards, waiting for a rescue. LARSEN (voice-over): Simulating entering the water from a helicopter, each student jumps in and gets to work. (On camera): This is the first time that they've encountered this? CHIEF PETTY OFFICER ALBERT AURICCHIO, U.S. COAST GUARD: This is our first multi-rescue center. They really have three big obstacles they need to overcome. They need determine how many people are in the water. Whether everybody has flotation or what we call safe in the water. And does anybody have any injuries. LARSEN (voice-over): First priority, make contact with the survivor. Then take control. AURICCHIO: He's doing the underwater approach on him. And coming up behind them and take control. LARSEN: Of a survivor that might be panicking. AURICCHIO: As he is towing his first survivor, he's kind of learning that he's noncompliant survivor. The guy is real panicky and not cooperative. LARSEN: Finally a lift to safety. Through spray, meant to simulate the rotor wash of a helicopter. Almost always, there is only one rescue swimmer on the scene without back-up. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Is there another swimmer up there? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No -- UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, there's not. It's just you. Right? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes -- UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (INAUDIBLE). How long do we have to go? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Week seven. LARSEN: The pool is just part of the training. Classroom work covers everything from survival rafts to maintaining pumps and -- (On camera): They actually have an entire classroom that's devoted to the sewing. You can see all the sewing stations here. You could see the parachute down at the end of the table. These guys actually sew their own gear. So if they're deploying a life raft or a cargo out of a C-130, they know that it's going to hold because they've actually sewed it themselves. (Voice-over): But after all the swimming, the jumping, and the sewing, students who graduate haven't yet earned their coveted rescue swimmer patches. For that, they'll have to go to an active air station and fly on real rescue missions. Just like I'm about to do. (On camera): They're looking for a potential victim in the water. So at first flight, we're going to launch. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) LARSEN (voice-over): It's the last stop on a Coast Guardsman's journey to become a rescue swimmer. Putting their classroom learning to the test on real-life missions at an operational air station. The country's largest and business is here in Clearwater, Florida. One of 24 across the United States. (On camera): So I'm in Clearwater, Florida, which is the most active Coast Guard search and rescue station in the nation. And I've come here over the July 4th weekend to embed with the Coast Guard for a few days to see how an active duty search and rescue station works. (Voice-over): And there is no better way to do that than in the air. (On camera): (INAUDIBLE) for the search and rescue mission's four personnel. We have the pilot, the co-pilot, the flight mechanic, who generally sits opposite me right here, he operates the wings, he has the visual outside the door. And then there is the search and rescue swimmer who will be floating down into the water as necessary in order to make the rescue and pull the victim up into the (INAUDIBLE). (Voice-over): The air station has a variety of assets including C-130s, rescue helicopters and crews on stand by 24 hours ready to answer a call from here. The Coast Guard St. Petersburg Command Center, responsible for the entire west coast of Florida. PETTY OFFICER JEAN LATIMER, U.S. COAST GUARD: Everything that has to do with search and rescue is dispatched and planned and coordinated from this command center from this office right here. LARSEN (on camera): What kind of calls do you see commonly here in Clearwater? What's -- give me a typical call. LATIMER: Everything. We get everything in here. LARSEN (voice-over): During our time in Clearwater, we would see a lot of it in just one flight. First, searching for a radio distress signal. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We won't be done until we find them. LARSEN: We find it located on a boat. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There we go. LARSEN: Safely docked here in this subdivision, just as we find the beacon -- UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Be advised that we've got a call. We've been diverted. We'll have a search pattern. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Roger. LARSEN: We're sent to a mystery mayday call. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We searched up and down the river as far inland as we could go with no sign of distress. LARSEN: That's never found. Finally, low on fuel, we get a report of people in the water near a bridge. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We can give but 10 minutes. We're low on fuel. LARSEN: Arriving on scene -- UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We are looking for the POW. What is that over here at 3:00? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Turn right. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's a bird. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. Keep going. LARSEN: We find them being helped by local rescue units. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They're all under the bridge right now. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Under the bridge. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, sir. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A busy night. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It is. (CROSSTALK) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We could get called out again. Just getting started. LARSEN: Calls can come any time day or night. (On camera): All right. So 6:00 in the morning, and we're all sleeping soundly in our little bunks here. And the aircraft commander popped in. He said the siren alarm just went off and there is a potential rescue. So that's what being the stand by crew means. So we're getting our gear ready and we're going to jump in the bird and see what's going on. (Voice-over): Within minutes we're on our way to the helicopter. (On camera): So we just got a mini brief by the aircraft commander and he said that they're looking for a potential victim in the water. So at first light we're going to launch and to get to initiate a search pattern. (Voice-over): The pilot, Lieutenant Commander Paul Russo, is in charge of this morning's mission. LT. COM. PAUL RUSSO, U.S. PILOT: We've got a 24-year-old female who just came out of rehab. She jumped off a bridge last night. We're likely looking for a body but there is a chance she could have survived and she might be hiding in the woods. LARSEN (on camera): Is there some kind of technology that we're using or is that -- are we going to -- RUSSO: It's in the eyeballs. Old school eyeballs. We're looking for a person who (INAUDIBLE) into the water. LARSEN (voice-over): After the preflight safety checks, our Jay Hawk helicopter is taxiing into the sunrise, hustling to get on scene. At any point, the rescue swimmer is ready to hit the water and hoist his victim up to safety. Something that I had experienced firsthand at the Coast Guard' rescue swimmer's school in North Carolina. (On camera): We have the helicopter about to deploy the swimmers. And I'm going to be one of the victims today. Get to practice what they do best. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Ready for the free fall deployment rescue cover from 12 feet. LARSEN: Here we go. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Fighting at the 1:00 position. LARSEN (voice-over): As the flight mechanic guides in the pilot. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He's up above water now. Ease down, 25. LARSEN: It's a rush of water, wind, and noise. First, rescue swimmer Daniel Todd uses the most common technique. A basket hoist. Then we used just a harness. Finally, a quick deployment place. The of two us lifted and secured by just a strap. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The swimmer survivor at the cabin door. The swimmer survivor coming in. The swimmer survivor in the cabin. LARSEN: Back on board the Jay Hawk in Florida, there is no need for any of those hoists. There is good news. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The person has been located. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Roger. Person has been located. LARSEN: The victim has been found. Alive. We return to base. (On camera): People often think that search and rescue is all about jumping out of helicopters and saving lives but there is also a lot of, you know, long flights, long searches, that don't end up doing anything. That's why these guys do it. They keep going out there until that one critical moment when they do actually have to jump in and get somewhere. PETTY OFFICER MIKE ZELLNER, COAST GUARD RESCUE SWIMMER: We just want to be the guys who were there that when it gets bad and, you know, somebody needs help, you know, they look at us and goes, OK, that's the guy that's going to come and pick us up. LARSEN (voice-over): It will be many months before the students back in North Carolina are doing what Mike Zellner has done for the past 10 years. But they'll be doing it for the same reasons. PETTY OFFICER JOSEPH WINTERS, RESCUE SWIMMER TRAINEE: When I joined the Coast Guard, everything was kind of about me. You know? And I realized that that's not what I wanted. I wanted to get out there and see what I can do to help other people. And -- I mean there are many ways to do that. Saving someone's life, though, I mean what more could you do? ANNOUNCER: Coming up -- CASSIDY: I'm not sure these will fit. OK? ANNOUNCER: Pop star David Cassidy is still singing the songs that made him a worldwide sensation. But he's also fighting mad. CASSIDY: I don't want to shame and embarrass and humiliate them but I will if I have to. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) HARLOW (voice-over): It's 1970 and a 20-year-old named David Cassidy is starring in "The Partridge Family." Not only did the show and sold-out concerts go on to make him a star but the teen idol's success spawned an avalanche of merchandise. CASSIDY: This is a dress-up set. Remember these? Oh, gosh. Nice outfit, David. HARLOW: David Cassidy is everywhere. (On camera): How big of a star was David Cassidy? CASSIDY: Well, I had the largest fan club in the history of the planet. Bigger than Elvis and the Beatles. HARLOW (voice-over): He was all over lunch boxes, board games, pins, even dancing hamsters. CASSIDY: Which sing, "I Think I Love You." There we go. There we go. It's running out of gas. Listen to it. It's running out of gas. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Ladies and gentlemen, would you please put your hands together for the one and only David Cassidy. HARLOW: The 61-year-old performer clearly isn't running out of gas. Thirty-seven years after "The Partridge Family" went off the air, he is still performing and producing. And now he's on a personal mission. To get paid for that merchandise from Sony which owns the show. (On camera): You say you've been robbed for the last few decades. CASSIDY: How would you call it? If somebody does not pay you and you are entitled to a percentage of the profits, and you know they're making profits, is that stealing? HARLOW (voice-over): Cassidy isn't alone. The cast of "Happy Days" also wants to know where the money went. Four stars of the iconic show, Anson Williams, Don Most, Marion Ross, and Erin Moran, as well as the widow of Tom Bosley are suing CBS for $10 million. They told CNN earlier this year they weren't paid what they're owed for "Happy Days" merchandise that's sold around the world. CBS which own the show agrees the actors are owed money. But disputes the amount. After the suit was filed, CBS cut checks to the actors, totaling about $43,000. Largely for the use of their images on "Happy Days" slot machines. But the actors argue they're owed much more. (On camera): Are you fighting for more than money? ROSS: I think fairness. When you think of all the different shows that must be having the same argument about this. HARLOW (voice-over): Shows like "The Partridge Family." Cassidy says according to his contract, while the program was on the air, he was entitled to 15 percent of net merchandising profits when his image was used. Half that if he appeared with other cast members. (On camera): Were you paid for that? CASSIDY: I was told by my manager I received a check for $5,000. And I never heard another word. I was never given another statement. HARLOW (voice-over): But why is Cassidy just coming forward now? Decades after "The Partridge Family" ended? He said it wasn't until just a few years ago after a string of business managers and moves across the country that he found his old contract. CASSIDY: My hand started to shake. I went, and there was the contract. HARLOW: As for the other cast members, Brian Forster, who played Chris Partridge, says he did get about $1100 for merchandising back in the '70s. But the others we spoke with say they didn't have a merchandising deal or don't recall getting paid for any items. Hours before a Las Vegas concert, Cassidy signed some of the items. CASSIDY: It was at the time the largest selling lunch box in history. HARLOW: He showed us items with recent copy rights that he says were issued without his permission. Sony did not reply to our question about this. CASSIDY: The only way I can get a truthful accounting is by showing articles like this of which there are many others that are done in this last decade that they're obviously in breach. HARLOW: Cassidy's lawyer sent this letter to Sony requesting a prompt and full accounting and payment of proceeds for any merchandise sold using his name, likeness, voice or other exercise of such merchandising rights. Sony responded that it could not locate any merchandising statements but found letters showing that Mr. Cassidy's representatives audited such statements. Therefore, they must have been rendered to him. The company went on to say, it was not aware of, "any new merchandising licenses with his name, voice and likeness," after "The Partridge Family" went off the air and said the statutes of limitations had run out on any claims. Sony had no other comment to CNN. On stage, it is like Cassidy is back in the '70s with fan who still throw their underwear. CASSIDY: I'm not sure those will fit. HARLOW (on camera): How much do you think you're owed? CASSIDY: Until I get a proper sit-down with them I'm not going to demand a number. HARLOW: I mean are you willing to settle with Sony or do you want to see this go to trial? CASSIDY: I don't want to shame and embarrass and humiliate them but I will if I have to. Get real. Be fair. You owe me a fortune. You want to go to trial, they've got Sony against David Cassidy, go ahead. HARLOW (voice-over): In his Florida home, there are few remnants of Cassidy's life as a pop superstar. But what made him famous will always be a part of who he is today. ANNOUNCER: On the next CNN PRESENTS, it's jobs. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) means we're going to be able to support our family. ANNOUNCER: Versus the environment. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I've said to many environmentalists, if you can't save this mountain, you can't save any mountain. ANNOUNCER: Who will win? Soledad O'Brien brings you the Battle for Blair Mountain, "Working in America." Next Sunday night on CNN PRESENTS.

Status Report
From: Kennedy Space Center
Posted: Wednesday, April 13, 2011
A joint effort is combining sophisticated engineering analysis on the ground with old-fashioned hands-on work in space after ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli undertook the complex installation of a replacement water valve in ESA's Columbus science laboratory.
ESA's Columbus module on the International Space Station carries a number of life-support systems, including the thermal control system, which cools all the equipment and scientific payloads in the orbiting research module.
The thermal system has multiple valves that control the cold water flowing through pipes. The water pipes run from Columbus to the Station's Node-2, where heat exchangers cool the water using radiators. The cooled water then flows back into Columbus.
In 2010, one of the water valves experienced problems and was inspected several times by Station astronauts to assist engineers with troubleshooting. Finally, in September last year, the suspect No. 8 Water ON-OFF Valve (WOOV) failed to react to ground commands and stopped working completely.
This required an in-orbit repair job, and it was decided to return the faulty valve to Earth for detailed analysis.
The crew also reported traces of an unknown substance seeping out of the valve body and the insulation shell.
A thorough troubleshooting plan was mapped out, aiming to identify the root cause of the valve jamming and the nature of the contamination.
As a replacement, Thales Alenia Space made a new manifold, which was launched on Shuttle Discovery on the STS-133 mission on 24 February.
On 27 February, ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli rolled up his sleeves to work on what was termed 'major inflight maintenance' - an hours-long repair job requiring tight coordination between the astronaut in space and engineers at ESA's Columbus Control Centre, near Munich, with continuous voice and video contact.
"The main repair included a procedure of some 80 steps," said Cesare Capararo, of ALTEC, Lead Increment Flight Director for Columbus and responsible for overseeing the repair.
"Each step had to be carefully checked before, during and after execution by Paolo and the ground team due to the complexity of performing maintenance on a running system."
With the job complete, the faulty valve was packed for return to Earth on the same Shuttle. After arrival at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on 9 March, it was shipped to the Astrium facility in Bremen, Germany, where Columbus was built, for analysis by engineers from Thales Alenia Space, Astrium and ESA.
"We will have the results very soon, which will help to determine the cause," said ESA's Roland Luettgens, Mission Director at Columbus Control Centre.
"Columbus must operate several more years and therefore it's important to know the cause and ensure that we can work together with the crews for this type of complex maintenance."

Seize Control of Your Sites With Siege
Getting ready to launch a site, but want to test it out before it goes live? Consider Siege, a Linux server management utility that exposes problems before the site is in production. ServerWatch takes a look at this solid and easy to use load-testing tool.
Getting ready to roll out a site, but not sure how it will perform in real-world use? Take a look at Siege, a load-testing and benchmarking utility that will help stress test your setup before exposing it to the world.
Siege is a fantastic utility for helping with Linux server management by exposing problems before they go into production. It's open source software (GPLv2 or later) and easy to get started with.
Siege is packaged for Debian and Ubuntu, but doesn't look to be packaged for Fedora and openSUSE (at least in the default repots). Do remember, though, it's "i" before "e"--I nearly missed the package for Ubuntu by searching for "seige," which (obviously) doesn't exist.
The source, of course, is available. Note that the link to the latest version from the homepage returns an "unable to connect" error (at least as of this writing). However, the pub directory is available over HTTP even if the FTP server seems to be down.
Once installed, Siege is very easy to use. You can use Siege to test over HTTP and HTTPS -- it has no support for FTP or other protocols at the moment.

robtv necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 200 diseños de 44 diseñadores freelance.
It is a new brand of extremely stylish and affordable consumer electronics. Products will be sold via an online retail store and other mediums. It will sell good quality electronics such as televisions, dvd players, dvd recorders, ipod docks and other electronics. It purchases direct from the manufacturer and sells direct to the public online, therefore greatly reducing costs while maintaining quality. The brand focuses only on electronics that are stylish, and in this way differentiates itself from the rest of the market. The brand will also look into the most innovative ways to reduce power consumption, given the increasing price of electricity and its effect on the environment.
Anyone wanting to buy consumer electronics, but mainly people who are looking for electronics that are stylish yet high quality and affordable.
The logo will be used in everything to do with the company/brand, so it must reflect the company principles. It must be stylish yet simple.
Think about other brand names situated on electronic goods, like sony, Panasonic etc. They are simple yet recognisable. DELL is a good example of something a little bit different yet easily recognisable.
I would like this logo to be similar in the simplicity, but I would like it to be more creative than others.
Colour schemes would preferably be shiny or matt silver, and just the word 'ekin', but I am open to other suggestions (maybe a green 'e', to show a bit of sustainability etc). I would like to have two variations, one just the word that can be put on products, and another including a stylish, innovative and creative symbol that could be used on marketing materials, to make it synonymous with the brand.
For example, think about brands like Gant and Polo, or DELL computers (eg the circle around its logo)…
In brief it needs to be;
• Creative and innovative
• Stylish
• Simple
• Timeless
• Stand-out
• Have a creative new font
• Printed easily
• Logo with just the letters
• Symbol to combine/add with word and be synonymous with the brand
Need the .eps, tiff, pdf and jpeg, vector format files

Being a Kid at Heart
By John Holzapfel aka jna1488
Can you remember the moment in your life when you became a sports fan? I was thinking about this the other day, and a flood of memories filled my mind about some of the happiest times in my life growing up and they all revolved around sports and sports cards. I am in my 30s now and still find myself acting like a little kid when I watch my favorite team on TV. I'll throw a temper tantrum when my team is losing and gloat when they are winning. When I open a box of cards, I feel like its Christmas morning and there's a pile of presents waiting for me to open. The speechlessness and the shaking you feel when you realize you've just pulled an autograph of your favorite player. Do we ever really grow up as sports fans? I have traced my memories back to the moment that the sports fan inside of me was born.
From big cities to the small sleepy little towns, the persistent plague of boredom looms inside every child's mind. No matter how many toys, video games, or channels on TV a child has at their disposal. The same words seem to always come to life, "I'm bored, there's nothing to do." Hearing my kids saying these same words that I said to my parents some 30 years ago, brought me back to a time where my boredom was wiped away. It wasn't because of a new video game or a new toy, we were too poor and with 6 of us kids it was a struggle for my parents to keep us all feed, let alone buy us an Atari or Nintendo. The boredom was wiped away because of a little sanctuary called Dodgertown, the spring training facility of the LA Dodgers.
The city of Vero Beach is a coastal retirement community in South Florida. The sidewalks roll up when the sun goes down, and if you don't like hanging out at the mall or go surfing, you are pretty much out of luck when it comes to entertainment. Living in this town is like staying at your grandparent's house every day, it does have its perks but you have to be on your best behavior at all times because someone is always watching. Dodgertown was one of the perks of living in a town like this; a place where the town comes together, no matter whether you are 8 or 80, this is a place where everyone becomes a kid again.
Before the Dodgers called Vero Beach home starting in 1948, the site where Dodgertown sat was home to the United States Naval Air Station. In 1942 the United States Navy notified the city of Vero Beach that their airport has been chosen for a Naval Air Station, and that the Navy purchased 1500 acres to build housing and offices for the Naval and Marine Corps personnel that were to train there. In the United States in the 1940s, the war effort was the priority. After the end of the war, the Naval Air Station Vero Beach was cut down to a minimal staff and later closed in 1947. Even though the Navy vacated the airport and the 1500 acres surrounding it, the U.S. government had guidelines that Vero Beach was to follow. The government had to approve the one who occupied the land and that all money made from the land went back into the airport. In 1947 Bud Holman, a local businessman and manger of the airport saw a lot of potential for the land and buildings that the Navy left. This was to be the beginning of a 60 year relationship between the Brooklyn Dodgers, later to be known as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Vero Beach, Florida.
In 1947, Bud Holman heard that the Brooklyn Dodgers were in search of a training facility inside the United States, and decided to approach Branch Rickey and executive with the Dodgers to pitch his proposal. Holman told Rickey that the land and the housing would be a perfect match with the Dodgers because at the time the Dodgers had 26 minor league teams due in part to Rickey's feeling that player development was extremely important to baseball. There was also another hurdle that the Dodgers faced which was Jackie Robinson had just crossed the color barrier in 1947, and many towns in the South did not want any part of it. Vero Beach was different, even though racial tensions existed; the community had more acceptance than most. In 1948 the city of Vero Beach and the Brooklyn Dodgers had a deal, and Dodgertown was born.
I was 5 years old the first time I went to Dodgertown, to watch my first major league ball game. Being enrolled in tee ball for the first time, my parents wanted to see if baseball was something that would spark my interest and what better way to do it than to take me to a game. I really do not remember who the Dodgers were playing that day, but I do remember everything else. The feeling of excitement I had when we got out of the car and started to make our way to the stadium. I was nervous, and bouncing around not knowing what to expect, and the closer we got, the more nervous and excited I became. I could smell the concessions stands, the aroma of popcorn and Dodger Dogs being cooked filled the air even outside of the ball park. The closer we got the sounds of batting practice filled the air; the cracking of the bat, the smack of a ball being caught, the program salesman yelling "get your program". This was just overwhelming, I couldn't wait to get inside and see what all was going on.
We reached the gate and gave the tender our ticket and we were finally inside, but I still could not see anything but the concessions and the stairs leading up to what looked like nowhere. I started to run up the stairs to see where they led to and when I reached the top, I couldn't believe my eyes. I stood at the top of the stairs, gazing at the biggest and greenest baseball field that I had ever seen; green mound of grass surrounding the outfield, with a giant scoreboard separating right and left field. The orange dirt of the diamond with players warming up for today's game, the open dugouts full of coaches and player lining the first and third base line, the bull pen, one by right field and one by left field with pitchers and catchers playing catch. The seats of blue beginning to fill up with people coming to watch the game. This was the most amazing and beautiful sight that I had ever seen. I still was bursting with excitement but I couldn't move or speak, I was too memorized by everything that was happening in front of my eyes. After a few minutes, I realized that my parents were standing behind me smiling down to me overjoyed in my excitement.
We started to make our way to our seats which was on the home side of the field so we had to walk around to the third base line. On the way we passed by more concessions and souvenir stand and stopped to look around. This being my first game, my dad wanted to get me something to remember this day, so he bought me a miniature bat and a pack of cards. I became fascinated by this pack of cards. I wasn't allowed to open it until we got to our seats so my excitement began to build again. When I thought that this day could not get any better, this little pack of cards came into my life. Reaching our seats I ripped into the pack and found a stick of gum and like any other kid I threw it into my mouth and chomped on it while I thumbed through my cards. My dad was watching me flip through the cards and started to point out players that were on the cards some of them where on the field in front of me. That was all it took, this day, this game and this little pack of cards turned me into a fan and a collector for life. This is the moment where it all began.
As I got older, Dodgertown became a bigger part of my life. During the spring, my friends and I watched all the practices and the games. We got to know a lot of the players and coaches because we were starting to become permanent fixtures at the field. We would get yelled at by Tommy Lasorda a few times a day without a fail because we were keeping his players from practice. We became such regulars that the people taking the tickets would let us watch the games for free just as long as we didn't attract too much attention to ourselves, but being a group of boys we always seemed to draw attention. What started out to be a spring hangout soon began to turn into a season hangout. We started to watch the many minor league teams who came to practice and play at Dodgertown, which made this place become an even bigger part of my life.
As life went on this place that I loved as a boy grew further away from me, and I moved on to other things to occupy my time, even though the love of sports and the collecting of cards was still with me, I didn't seem to have the time anymore. I moved away from Dodgertown for a time, finished high school and joined the Army not having been back to the training fields of Dodgertown for years. After getting discharged from the Army I met my wife and we both end up getting a job at the same place that gave me so many childhood memories. During the years between my absence from Dodgertown, I lost the love of baseball that I had when I was younger, the lockouts and the greed that I didn't see as a child but became visible as I got older turned me off. I still had a love for sports and sports cards but was geared more towards football and Nascar, and not baseball.
During my employment with the Dodgertown Conference and Convention Center, I started to regain a spark of excitement that I had felt for this place years before. It wasn't as strong as it was when I was 5 but it was there. My work at Dodgertown was in the food service area, I ran the buffet line for the guests and players that visited. In my youth I had no idea what went on here when baseball wasn't in season, but I was beginning to see that there were all types of events and activities all year long. It was my first month working there when we had to get ready for a 2 week baseball fantasy camp. I had heard about fantasy camps before but I really didn't know all that went on during one. I knew that people paid a lot of money to attend to live out their fantasy of being a professional ball player. This particular camp was a Dodger Blue Fantasy camp. The people that I worked with, many of whom had worked here for years and had been through many fantasy camps started to tell me some of the people who attend these as guest coaches. Among the names were many that I had recognized such as; Duke Snider, Maury Wills, Clem Labine, Carl Erskine, Sandy Koufax, and Ralph Branca. At first I thought they were kidding but the following week I found out that they weren't…
When the camp started I was finding it hard to work, because I was surrounded by baseball greats that I had only heard stories about from my dad. I never would have thought back when my dad was telling me these stories, that I would ever have the chance to met them, but here I was in the middle of a Brooklyn and LA Dodger reunion. When I was at work employees were not allow to fraternize with the guests, which was extremely difficult for me because I had so many questions I wanted to ask, but I contained myself and kept my mouth shut. A couple of days into the camp during breakfast, a group came through the line, I recognized a couple from the group being Erskine, Snider, and Labine. I was professional and greeted them as they made their way through the line answering any questions they may have had. I was shaking with excitement; I was having a hard time trying to contain it when Duke Snider asked me what my name was. I was in shock; Duke Snider wanted to know my name. I told him my name and that I was a fan, even though I was too young to have ever seen him play. He then introduce himself and the two that were in line with him, and I let them know that I knew who they were and shook their hand. This moment right there was the moment that the spark I felt when I started this job grew into a flame.
My very first meeting with Duke Snider started a landslide of introductions during this camp and spreading to the other camps and onto spring training. I had the opportunity to meet a long list of retired greats and active players, and as the years passed I became somewhat of friends with many that I met. Even though fraternization with the guest was looked down upon, but the guests have the last say so. One of my favorite people that I got to meet and was on first name basis with was Tommy Lasorda. This was the man that yelled at me and my friends for distracting his players. What I remembered about Lasorda was he loves to yell at everyone. Once I got to know him I realized that was just his nature, but he was one of the nicest people that I met at Dodgertown, you just had to get to know him.
The number of people that I met during the camps and spring training kept growing, greats would introduce me to players, players would introduce me to coaches, and coaches would introduce me to more players. Me being a card collector, the thought of autographs crossed my mind but I was enjoying talking to these players more than just asking for their signature. The first time I got autographs came on mine and my wife's day off. The day before our day off, Duke Snider and Maury Will sat down at the same picnic table where we were taking a break at. I had talked to them about our son who started little league and was getting discouraged because his team wasn't that great. They asked my wife if we would bring our son up so they would have a chance to meet with him and talk. This absolutely floored me and my wife, the thought that these two legends would want to take the time out for our son was amazing. I let them know that we were planning on bringing him up there on our day off which happened to be the next day, and the smiled and told us to make sure that we found either one of them as soon as we got there. We agreed that we would, and I felt the love that I had for this game starting to burn strong again.
When we arrived at Dodgertown my son was nervous and as excited as I was 30 years earlier when I came to this place for my first time. He told me and his mom that he was so nervous because he did not know who he was going to be meeting. As we were walking to the field where we knew either Maury or Duke would be at, our son was trying to hide behind us. We walked up to a group of people who were surrounding a golf cart; news reporters and autograph hounds trying to get the attention of the person driving the golf cart. Just as we saw who was driving Duke Snider noticed us and waved us to his cart. At this moment I got a little nervous because everyone who was trying to get Dukes attention was now focused on us. We got to the cart and Duke stuck out his hand and introduced himself to our son "hi there I'm Mr. Snider, and who might you be?' I know my son was so nervous because of all the people around us, but he mustered up the courage to introduce himself. At this time, Duke told the reporters and the people around us that he was sorry to cut it short but he needed to spend some time with an up and coming ball player. Everyone seemed to respect what he said and left us alone. He then asked my son to get in the passenger seat of the golf cart because there was a lot of people who wanted to meet him, at this moment the nervousness seem to leave my son and he relaxed and acted more like himself. Duke Snider told me and my wife that he was going to take our son around for awhile which was fine with us, and they sped off towards the practice fields.
The thoughts that I had about this day brought me back to my childhood, spending so much time at this place. I took my wife around sharing my memories with her and telling the stories as they flooded into my head walking in the same steps that I took so many years ago. At the end of the day when we met back up with our son and Duke Snider, the smile that was on our sons face reminded me of the smile that I had when I was five. His arms were full of signed baseball that he had received throughout the day. As the reporters and fans surrounded the golf cart again we thank Duke and made our way back home, on the way my son told us that this was one of the best days of his life.
On St Patrick's Day in 2007 the Los Angeles Dodgers played their last game at Dodgertown, 61 years of tradition came to an end, the Dodgers moved to their new multimillion dollar spring training facility in Glendale Arizona. The past 61 years, Vero Beach has played host to some of the greatest ball players to ever play the game; Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider, Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Maury Wills, Steve Sax, Orel Hershiser, Mike Piazza, and on and on. The history of this place is etched in the minds of so many people who came to it to be a part of baseball history.
Dodgertown was the place that made me a sports fan, not only a sports fan but a fan of sports cards. Even though Dodgertown is now gone, every time I open a pack of cards I become that 5 year old kid again. Many of you know the feeling that I am talking about, when It comes to our hobby we go from an adult to a 5 year old in the matter of seconds.

he sound lot like blueidiot.
^^^ Shhh. We want Rick to win the primary. Julie like Newt for idiocy, I like Rick- Go Rick 2012. NASCAR all the way.
Obama is a strong enough candidate to win outright for the Democrats without the need of a ringer like Santorum, Palin or Gingrich on the Republican side. If you are worried that Romney will win the primary then I see the need to cheer for the less viable candidates. That appears to be Julie's hope. Is this the same for you? I understand the worry too, because of Obama's lofty promises back in 08. He has had 4 years and much of the electorate are upset over the stilted status quo. Now, I'm playing the devil's advocate here but Romney is a successful businessman, was the Governor of Massachusetts and is a moderate. If the economy continues to remain stagnant with only marginal improvement the fickle electorate might get a case of incumbent-itis. When George H. Bush lost the election in 1992 a third party candidate who was a businessman took 19% of the popular vote. The economy was in shambles in 92' and some thought it needed a business approach. Something to consider, no?
Quote from: Julie Fern on February 29, 2012, 03:58:24 PMhe sound lot like blueidiot.Didn't bluewarrior just dis, Santorum a few posts back?

Inez Vanbeylen necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 135 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
My bussiness is for:
-Offering luxury rental properties for short or long rentals:
Properties go from small apartments to large villas, all must have the "chic" reference though!
"chic" will stand for glamour, modern, clean, comfy, luxury, views, easy,...reffered to the rental properties.
-Rental services:
Not only I offer to find the best properties to rent but also extra services such as celaning or maid service, pick up transfers from and to the airport, babysitter, private sport, language or diving classes, shopping service, private cooking service, etc....
-Look after properties owned by foreign people:
I look after their house ( weather they rent it out or not) while beeing away, I organize cleaning, shopping, gardening, repairs to be done, bills to be paid,...etc.
-Property sales.
Location: Mallorca the largest of the Balearic Islands ( Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera). Spain.
My audience is for people wanting to rent a property for their holidays and not a hotel but within a high standard.
Also for people buying a property and feel that their house is well looked after while they are not arround.
In the future I also want to include shops, restaurants and hotels that are "Chic" on my web and leaving a sticker or card at each of them.
I want to become the most visited web page for people who want to spend their holidays in Sóller and surrounding areas, even if they do not rent a property they might want to book some tennis lessons or a limousine or a guided excursion, or simply know about the most "in" shops and restaurants to go to.
I want ot make people's holidays unforgetable and easy!
My web page is http://www.ivsol.com still not finished but I do not like the name and want to change it to SóllerChic.com to envolve the area and to let people know I offer nice and good quality properties and services.
The logo must be simple, easy to print and make stickers or labels. ( for cars, windows,etc...)
I mainly focus on the lovelly valley of Sóller, this town has got both sea and mountain.
Sóller is a valley on the island of Mallorca.
Sóller is well known for having the best oranges and lemons on the island, so maybe and orange an lemon could go on the logo.
I want something elegant, my first thought was maybe mat silver background, white letters for Sóllerchic and then some orange gold colour for an orange and lemon gold colour for a lemon with some sparkling green coloured leaves.
Maybe an orange could be right by the S (above or under or comming out of it) and a lemon at the end C ( above or under). Not really sure, that is why I contacted 99 designs!!!!
Please be free to be creative but keep in mind the name must be visible and the orange and lemon touch!!!
Thank you!

The Commons - Sean Bonney
- Pocket Book
- Paperback, 80 pages
The work was originally subtitled "A Narrative / Diagram of the Class Struggle", wherein voices from contemporary uprisings blend into the Paris Commune, into October 1917, into the execution of Charles 1, and on into superstitions, fantasies of crazed fairies and supernatural bandits //// all clambering up from their hidden places in history, getting ready to storm the Cities of the Rich //// to the bourgeois eye they may look like zombies, to us they are sparrows, cuckoos, pirates & sirens //// the cracked melodies of ancient folk songs, cracking the windows of Piccadilly //// or, as a contemporary Greek proverb has it, "smashing up the present because they come from the future".
Praise for The Commons
'Hi, my name is John, I am 14 years old and hate the Tories, and this book exploded my political consciousness, now a brick through a window is never enough, I want to reawaken the dead.'
About the author
Sean Bonney was born in Brighton and brought up in the north of England. He now lives in London.
His publications include Notes on Heresy (Writers Forum, 2002), Poisons, their antidotes (West House, 2003), Blade Pitch Control Unit (Salt, 2005), Document: hexprogress (Yt Communication, 2006), Baudelaire in English (Veer 2008), Document: poems, diagrams, manifestos (Barque 2009), and The Commons (Openned 2011). He edits the press Yt Communication with Frances Kruk.

My Little Ironies
- I just had to tell my daughter that there was little probability that she could do eighty chores in two hours and 10 minutes to earn a giant lot of pet shops on Ebay that she wants to earn before the auction closes. That's at two chores per dollar. :)
- We are helping my father sell an old vehicle and what do we find in the glove box...an unused 12 guage shotgun shell...that's my Dad!!
- How does a three year old end up at church with no underwear on, especially when you dressed him and you know he had underwear on at one point during the morning?
- The root of all toilet clogging evil is apparently a ball point pen and it's nearly impossible to dislodge one of those from the inside of a toilet.
- You know you have to do some serious laundry when you actually consider wearing your 11 year old daughter's Hannah Montana shirt.
- My 6 year old daughter got a comb stuck in her hair and we had to cut the comb into little bits to get it out of her hair.
- My kids keep breaking the toilet seats! I guess I need a bulk package of those too!
- Chocolate chips are not a food group.
- My toilet seat says "Hailee" on it!
- If there's work to be done, all of the kids need to use the bathroom or get a drink.
- All two-year-olds think the baby swing is for them!
- When you have 6 kids, carpet is your enemy!
- You know you have a large family when your grocery receipt is 4 feet long.
- The toilet is clogged and my husband found a plastic easter egg in the pipe.
- My daughter just asked me if she can put chocolate sprinkles on here melted cheese sandwich (really???)
- I burned up another hard drive on my PC! Can I buy a bulk package of those too?
- Well actually, my sand pile is full of socks and silverware!
- My sand pile is full of socks!
- The key to my treadmill is missing again...can I just purchase a bulk package of them???
- I fixed my daughter's glasses with JB Weld!
- I have a pile of sand on my leather couch.
- My daughter lost her glasses in the snow on the way home from school in January. Someone found them in March and turned them into the school office! Amazingly enough, the school remembered we lost them in January. Wow!
- Just when I think he knows better, my 10 year old son plugs the bathroom sink and the emergency drain in the sink basin to soak his grow creature, turns on the water, and forgets about it until we notice water flooding out from under the bathroom door! And yes, he locked the door so no one would bother the grow creature!!
- It's time for another worn out pair of the hubby's pants to disappear! Aren't kids suppose to be the only ones who are attached to clothing?
- My 4 year old says she needs "peace and quite"!!!!!
- My Husband says there's a perfectly good reason for the leatherman being in my dish drainer.
- I have a leatherman (fancy pocket knife) in my dish drainer. I don't know why.
- My kids are storing a tumble weed in my garage for the winter!
- My 10 year old son informed me that people have only discovered about half of the world's caves (thank you BBC and planet earth!)
- My baby's car seat is full of finely crushed graham crackers (?? Little babies don't eat graham crackers)!
- My husband's shoes are filled with Mr. Potato Head parts!
- My two year old thinks the new baby swing is for him! He can even climb in by himself and work all the controls. Boy, does he have a rude awakening coming!!
- I have a giant mud hole in my back yard.
- My vacuum is fully of plastic easter grass.
- My kids are too full to finish their dinner, but they have plenty of room left for cake!
- I have a giant laundry basket full of socks, and we can't find a single match!
- Miscellaneous items found while cleaning out my kids' toy box include a flashlight, rocks (no suprise), a sea shell (we don't live by the sea), a drill bit, a stapler, and some tree bark!
- My daughter's medical bills added up to about $18,000, but we got a free sippy cup and a ball signed by the Utah JAZZ Dancers!
- I put safety locks on the tops of my outside doors to keep my three year old from escaping and she figured out how to open them with a broom in approximately five minutes.
- I bought the EXPENSIVE vacuum this time only to find that my 3-year-old took it apart with a screwdriver!
- I haven't showered for 3 days, but my house is clean!
- I have 38 winter gloves of various sizes in my coat closet and none of them match.
- We're out of peanut butter because my husband used the rest to catch a mouse in our garage!
- Yes, my son won 1st place in the science fair at school, but he didn't turn in half of his assignments this term?
- No matter how many toys my toddler got for Christmas, I still find him in the middle of my kitchen floor sitting in my crock pot!
