Busch Stadium 6-4-2010
So Fridays game, right? It was very frusterating. But Busch stadium looked very elegant on a warm sunny day. Check out this cool picture I took.
Thats more or less the view you get from the freeway that runs right by Busch Stadium. Its actually kind of cool how close the stadium is to the freeway. Theyre doing a lot of work on the bridge right now because its said to be the most unsafe bridge in Saint Louis right now.
Here is a picture of the players entrance. Most of the opposing team players get carted in from the hotel, and they use this entrance. Ive never seen any player actually stop while on the cart to sign autographs. So if you are able to get one to stop email me or leave a comment on how you got the players to stop, and sign. The usually ride right on through.
Here is a picture of the walkway towards the third base gates from the home plate gates. The gates I usually enter are the third base gates. Its the easiest, and the fasted Ive found to the field level. Most people use the left field gates or the home plate gates.
So once I was inside I felt like I should have played dead center field bleachers for Prince Fielder. After all that guy has been hitting home runs in major league stadiums since he was 13 years old. I decided to stay put on the third base side. I did play back a few rows to catch any direct line drives. I felt pretty confident but when those baseballs come in fast theyre already on the curve. So when they bounce they fly way right. I missed two by mis-judging them. But that was okay.
Trevor Hoffman was pretty friendly as he chilled in the shade in deep left field. He tossed about eight baseballs into the stands. I called to him on multiple occasions but he didnt pay me any attention. I stood my ground on the third base side, and eventually my luck struck. I wasnt sure who hit that, and by mistake I ended up asking a Cubs fan who was at bat all the while wearing a Brewers hat. I could only laugh at myself.
The ball somehow was able to make its way passed four peoples attempts to get it, and I held my glove down, and it slapped me right in the pocket. I felt lucky. I dont have much luck at Busch Stadium. In fact I hate shagging baseballs at this stadium. The competition is high, and I never really have a breakout game. I usually come away with two if Im lucky. The players dont come out with baseballs anymore to warm up before the game anymore. I dont know why. The Reds didnt do it, and the Brewers didnt do it Fridays game either. The Cardinals did on the other side though.
As the game progressed I played the first base side for foul balls. I should have stayed over there the entire game. I would have caught at least two. One from Holliday, and the other from Pujols. They both fouled one baseball each over to the entrance way to the first base side. But I was busy waiting on a third out toss up from Prince Fielder, and during Pujols foul ball I was setting up for the umpire ball.
I also learned that these white seats you see at the bottom of the picture are wheel chair seating area. Anyone is allowed to buy tickets for this area. It isnt a requirement that you have someone with you in a wheel chair, or you be in one too. Also, from where I took this picture there is a yellow outline where you can stand. They actually sell standing room only tickets. The security guard asked me if I had a standing room only ticket, and I quickly said I did to avoid any arguement. If she asked for my ticket I would have told her my wife had it. Always one step ahead of these guards. She didnt ask though.
After the game I set up for the umpire baseball. I scooted passed some fans that were sitting in the front row. Actually the only two fans that were sitting there, and when the umpire came I asked him a ball. He overthrew me like crazy! The ball actually sailed over my right shoulder, and since Im left handed with the glove I tried to basket catch the ball but it was too late. Some lady caught it. And she said this;
" Wow! I caught a ball! I didnt know the umpires threw baseballs into the crowd!"
Ugh. Yeah. They do.
So I tried to make it to the dugout for the bullpen guys. I was blocked in by 42,000 fans. It was Fireworks Friday, and where I stood was the closest Id get to the dugout unless I pardoned myself about 50,000 times. It wasnt worth it. The front row of the dugout was blocked anyway. One ball.

Nursing, pre-med students take medical ministry trip to Haiti
June 13, 2012 | Valorie Coleman
Erica Harris has a sense of urgency for those needing medical care around the globe.
This May, she took a team of seven Evangel University students to Les Cayes, Haiti. Hundreds of people crowded into the initial holding tent, day after day, waiting to be seen by the nine medical professionals and the students who went on the trip.
The Evangel team partnered with HealthCare Ministries, a medical ministry of the Assemblies of God, to provide medical, dental and optical care over the four-day clinic.
It had been advertised to the local Haitian people that a team of Americans would be there to provide services for a nominal fee, equivalent to $1.50.
The advertisements were effective. More than 925 patients were seen.
"The medical missions trips are an annual occurrence for students who are aspiring to careers in the medical field," says Harris, assistant professor of biology. "This was Evangel's second year in Haiti, but we have traveled to areas including South Africa, Northern Asia, India and Central America."
This was the fourth trip for Harris as a faculty advisor. She also helped arrange a trip for Evangel as a student in 1994.
"The trips are one of my favorite parts of my job. I love seeing how life-impacting it is for the students," Harris says.
The lives of those in Haiti were changed, too. One man was brought into the clinic late one evening, after everyone had turned in for the night. He had been in a motorcycle accident and was injured.
The team members sprang into action. Even those who did not have a direct part in providing the necessary medical care were there to offer support. They prayed with the patient and left his wounds and his heart in God's hands.
A few days later, this man came back and prayed the sinner's prayer with the team.
"He had been in church before," Harris says, "but being ministered to like that turned his heart to the Lord."
Medical missions trips not only give students a chance to integrate their medical expertise and ministry, but they often either confirm or dissuade someone in their chosen medical speciality.
"This year, three of our graduating seniors who went on the trip were confirmed in their career choices," Harris says. "Jaimie McCallister plans to be a doctor, Katie Stansberry wants to be a pediatric dentist, and Taylor Sirois will stay with his plan to be a chiropractor."
As the week progressed, the medical professionals gave a gentle nudge to the students.
"They began to ask the students what their interest is in medical missions," Harris says. "When students see it lived out, they realize they could go overseas periodically and make a difference in the lives of people. It plants in the students a desire and a passion to help." See Photo Blog for more pictures of the trip.

After winning only 25 games, the Celtics are slotted fifth in the 14-team NBA draft lottery. They have a 10.3 percent chance of moving up to the No. 1 spot for the June 26 draft.
When it comes to winning NBA championships, the Celtics lead the way with 17 banners hanging in the TD Garden rafters.
When it comes to the NBA draft lottery, however, that is another story for the Celtics.
They have taken part in the annual spring event eight times and have yet to hit the big prize.
The Celtics did land the No. 2 pick in the 1986 draft, but their choice, forward Len Bias of Maryland, died of a cocaine overdose just days after being selected.
In 1997 and 2007, the Celtics were in a prime position to grab the No. 1 or No. 2 pick, but the pingpong balls didn't drop their way in either case after bad seasons.
On Tuesday night, the Celtics will join 13 other teams in Times Square in New York, hoping for a favorable result in the 29th edition of the lottery.
The Celtics are situated in the fifth slot, meaning they have a 10.3 percent chance of moving up to the No. 1 pick, an 11.1 percent chance of going to No. 2 and a 12 percent chance of having the No. 3 pick. They can also fall as far back as No. 8.
Will the ninth time in the lottery be the charm for the Celtics, who finished 25-57 and are behind just the Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic and Utah Jazz in the lottery?
The Celtics thought they had struck it rich in '86 when they had the second pick and drafted Bias.
A 1984 trade in which Gerald Henderson was sent to the former Seattle SuperSonics gave the Celtics a future first-round pick, which became a favorable one when the Sonics went 31-51 in the 1985-86 season – the same year the Celtics won a title.
There were only seven teams in the lottery back then, and the format was much different, with names of the teams placed in envelopes. In 1990, the NBA switched to a weighted lottery system using pingpong balls.
Since then, the Celtics have been in the lottery in 1994 (Eric Montross, the ninth pick); 1996 (Antoine Walker, sixth); 1997 (Chauncey Billups, third, and Ron Mercer, sixth); 1998 (future Hall of Famer Paul Pierce, 10th); 2000 (Jerome Moiso, 10th); 2001 (Joe Johnson, 10th, and Kedrick Brown, 11th); and 2007 (Jeff Green, fifth).
The lotteries in '97 and '07 were disappointments for the Celtics, who were eyeing Tim Duncan 17 years ago and either Greg Oden or Kevin Durant seven years ago.
With M.L. Carr at the controls in the 1996-97 season, the Celtics stumbled and bumbled to a 15-67 record, and it was obvious what was going on.
The Celtics were trying to win the first pick by losing, and there was plenty of that going on with a roster lacking in talent.
Because the Vancouver Grizzlies, who had the worst record, were ineligible for the top pick because they were an expansion team, the Celtics had the best odds of winning the lottery.
They had a 27.5 percent chance of getting the top pick in their own slot, and also had an 8.8 percent chance with the No. 6 slot (acquired in a previous trade with the Dallas Mavericks).
But on the afternoon of Mother's Day in 1997, the San Antonio Spurs (third with a 21.6 percent chance) won the lottery and the right to draft Duncan, winner of four NBA titles. The 76ers jumped from fifth to second, leaving the Celtics and new coach-president Rick Pitino with the third and sixth picks.
Chauncey Billups was taken No. 3 and lasted 51 games before an impatient Pitino traded him to the Toronto Raptors. Mercer played 141 games in two seasons and was shipped to the Denver Nuggets.
In the 2006-07 season, the Celtics endured a franchise-record 18-game losing streak and won only 24 games. They had the second-best chance of winning the lottery at 19.9 percent and an 18.8 percent chance of picking No. 2 with Oden and Durant the prizes.
The Celtics somehow fell all the way to fifth, however, as the Portland Trail Blazers went from sixth to first, the Sonics moved from fifth to second and the Atlanta Hawks went from fourth to third.
Jeff Green of Georgetown was taken by the Celtics and immediately shipped to the Sonics for Ray Allen and a second-round pick (Glen Davis), which opened the door for Kevin Garnett to come to Boston a month later, leading to the 2008 title.
The Celtics are back in the lottery for the first time since that year, sitting at No. 5.
In the history of the lottery, three teams have moved from the fifth spot to No. 1: the Toronto Raptors in 2006 (Andrea Bargnani), the Houston Rockets in 2002 (Yao Ming) and the Golden State Warriors in 1995 (Joe Smith).
The Celtics could use some good fortune Tuesday night since moving into the top three would mean getting a chance to pick Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins or Joel Embiid and obtain a key piece for the rebuilding process.

Entering their formal years of school with an understanding of what numbers are and how they are used can help set the foundation for success in mathematics. One of the easiest ways to get our young kids comfortable with numbers is to simply count stuff with them. Count the number of stairs going up, count the number of forks at the dinner table, count the number of apple slices on each plate. But sometimes we get so busy that we forget to look for those opportunities during the day. So a great way to get in some counting is right before bed when you pull out those bedtime stories. And the good news is, there are a lot of great books that support a child's beginning counting experiences. Here are four of my favorites:
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle: True to his creative style, Carle has made this a fun book to read. Not simply because it has a good counting "plot", but because the pages vary in size and there are even holes in some of them! Kids love to turn these pages as they count all the yummy things the very hungry caterpillar ate on his way to becoming a very beautiful butterfly. (Note: Carle writes that the caterpillar built a cocoon. And that would be fine if the caterpillar turned into a moth. But it turns into a butterfly and a butterfly emerges from a chrysalis.)
One is a Snail Ten is a Crab by April Pulley Sayre and Jeff Sayre: This fun book takes place at the beach and starts off counting feet using combinations of snails, people, dogs, insects and crabs. It's a wonderful foundation for later addition with equations (4 dog feet + 2 people feet = 6 feet all together). And the fun illustrations provide great practice for counting on and skip counting by 10s.
Each Orange Has 8 Slices by Paul Giganti, Jr: This book is filled with colorful 2-page spreads that offer a variety of fun objects to count. Each spread prompts kids with three counting questions. Since many of the counting objects are grouped in equal sets, kids who are ready can begin skip counting by different numbers. The book ends with a fun riddle that requires some very careful counting…or maybe careful reading.
Ten Apples Up On Top by Theo. LeSieg: This is my absolute favorite counting book because it's the one I grew up with! Tattered and torn, I still love to open it and see if the three friends can still balance all those apples. Filled with super simple, yet appealing illustrations, this book is set to rhyme making it a lot of fun to read.

Commerce Dept. Supports RIAA Bailout Radio Tax
from the well,-of-course-it-does dept
But, then, when they started pushing for this new tax, suddenly they amusingly started to claim that radio is "a kind of piracy." Seriously. However, they then immediately contradicted themselves by then accusing one radio station of illegally not playing their music.
Basically, the recording industry is willing to make any argument, no matter how contradictory to get this free money, which they claim they're entitled to. They say that they need to get paid for music played on the radio at the same time that they're pushing money the other direction just to get on the air (since they know it's really a promotion). They say that radio is "pirating" from them, but when a radio station stops playing RIAA music (which should make them happy if it's really "piracy,") they accuse them of abusing the airwaves, and demand an FCC investigation.
This has been nothing but a blatant attempt by the recording industry to get free money through legislative fiat, and it's ridiculous that the Commerce Department would support such an effort.

The amazing Karen Marie Moning had a chat on Facebook today to discuss her amazing Fever series with her fans today. There really wasn't a set format to the chat, so at times it became a little hectic to see the answers to some of the questions. But I managed to copy and paste what I could and put it in a post for those that couldn't make it. The questions and answers are in no type of order. Some of the questions have multiple answers as she went back and answered other comments, and some just have her commenting or smiling. That KMM is a sly one! Also, there's lots of spaces between the questions and answers. That's from copying and pasting them. I didn't have time to fix it and make it all look pretty, but I hope it's not too sucky. :P
Why do we not know what Ryodan looks like?Barrons is a man who cannot be defined by a label. I want you to get to know Ryodan--for now--without focusing on his looks. No more no less. As a writer, it's too easy to distort the lens. When I begin to write a character I'm crazy about, I'm very careful. Beginnings are fragile things.
I have two questions that can possibly be related to each other... Although the Barrons, Ryodan, and the others were cursed, was the curse just related to them never dyeing? Did they have their 'super' powers before they died? Although Dani is a sidhe-seer, her powers seem to be a bit more than your average sidhe-seer. In fact, they seem very similar to Barrons and the others. Is she somehow related to them?
I know that you still have two books coming, BTW, did these also come to you as one, complete story, sorry jumped thoughts there. Do you know what your next series will be about? Like the rest of Barrons men? Lor is a lot of fun.
Have you had time to read all of our crazy theories we have going on the message boards on your page? We're nuts about this story!
Where does Dancer go when he disappears for days? and is there anything 'special' about the bracelet he gave Dani?
Where does Dancer go when he disappears for days?
Alright this has been killing me to ask but did RYO tattoo Dani? After she wakes up in the basement she keeps talking about how the back of her skull/neck burns and she mentions that a few times after. Then when he used that spell to make her eat a candy bar she says the same thing. I think she is but DID HE?
OHHH!!! Are Jo and Ryodan a permanent couple?!?
Any chance that Dani is Ryodan's daughter??
What's up with all the Unseelie Princes having wings now?
It seems that Mac's mom is not aware of Dani's part in Alina's death. Does Mac suspect that Dani was somehow coerced?
Alright this has been killing me to ask but did RYO tattoo Dani?

Then when he used that spell to make her eat a candy bar she says the same thing. I think she is but DID HE?
Since you wouldn't answer my first, lol, here's another... All of the Barrons-type men have scars on them except for Barrons. Does this have something to do with their 'curse'? Did something happen to them to make it so Barrons made a deal to save them? And, if so, will this come back to haunt him/them?
I was wondering why Christian can never return to the Highlands?
How long does it usually take you to finish writing a book?
Whats in store for fade and lor?
Will you please describe Ryo just a little more?
Ms Moning, are you going to incorporate more of the MacKeltars and Adam into the next several books??? Adam after all was the Blackest Elf, and the love of his eternity was a realtive of sorts to Mac and Dani...
Will mac forgive dani?
Hello, Karen! Thank you for your hard work and new book!
Please tell me, what was the big shadow in the «Bloodfever», which copied the movement Mac? Is it the secret of new books?
Why Mac is not to hurry to make peace with Danny? What is she busy now? Has she a good time with Barrons?
I love very much Mac and Barrons! How many of them will be in the «Burned» and «Flayed»?
Did Barrons loved the mother of his son? I hope not
I am wondering if Aoibheal (sp?) will come back? I didn't know what happened to her, just that she was gone.
Hi Karen!!! :D I need to know something, You say Barrons and Ryordan are diferent, I mean, before they were cursed too? like two diferent species? and, About Iced, Dani will reconcile with Mac? or in the other books?
When Dani was chained up at Chesters and she talked to Mac,was it really Ryodan getting into her head?
Any hints as to what is going to happen with Dani's hand (the one that killed the Hunter)?
I'm planning to go to dublin and i wanted to know why you chose this city for your fever series and what did u like most about it ?
Love love love your books. I have re-read them so many times. Is Christian the same one from the highlander series who decends from Nell and Sylvan? The same christian who has a twin sister?
Another question,, how the hell did Christian know about K'vruck and Barron's son?!
Will we ever find out what the three problems were that Ryo had with dani drinking Christians Blood?
Don't take this the wrong way but I HATE YOU!.. How can you just leave us twisting in the wind at the end of every book (Secreately love it...) but I have to buy your books in hard back because I am not waiting for paper back lol.... My Question is how long are we going to twist before your next book?
I posted this somewhere else but I don't think it is in the right spot. In the previous books of the fever series, you foreshadowed heavily. Is it safe to assume that you will continue to do so in Dani's trilogy?
The comment that Kat made about Dancer, that he has something very dark in him is making me wonder.
might be too spoilerish... But will Dani's HEA (was it even said she
gets one?) at the end of her books be a romantic HEA or more about her
finding her place in the world and love (but not in aromantic way)? Am I
making any sense here? LOL
*crosses fingers a romantic HEA won't be with Ryo*
In the fever series the guys aren't 'allowed' to have girlfriends, right? I mean, that's a pact they made amongst themselves. Now, Kasteo's was killed? He must be vengefull seeing Ryo and Jer with girls of their own? :o
Karen, I love your books you are by far my favorite Author, however will Dani be older quickly in the 2nd book?\
With all the sex the nine (and Christian, too) are having, seemingly spontaneously, all the time, why aren't there legions of little nines repopulating Dublin? If Pop Tarts are running low, surely condoms must be scarce, too!
I really loved that ICED is an adult novel with a young adult as a protagonist. Among many YA female protagonists it seems they are always in conflict with their changing environment. What was new and wonderful about ICED was that after the wall came down Dani FLOURISHED and it seems everyone around her struggled to put her in a certain box. As Dani matures what do you think will be the greatest test to her willfulness that we all love?
Soo.. i duno about anyone else.. but i was devasted and really mad about this Ryodan and Joe.. is there something else going on there.. please tell me Ryodan is just using his time with her until Dani grows up!
Karen, I love your books you are by far my favorite Author, however will Dani be older quickly in the 2nd book?
My question is on an inconsistency in Iced. In the Fever series, Cruce was the only Unseelie prince with wings. In Iced, not only is Christian growing wings, the other princes have wings too. What changed?
I'm very excited about this chat as you are my all time favorite author!! What inspired you to write Iced?
What are those things following Mac and why? Do they sense the book?
Everyone is in Ireland but while reading it, I didnt feel like any one had an Irish Accent. was I reading it wrong?
Is Christian Mackeltar going to take the place of V'lane in the next book as our sexy-by-death Fae but without the scheming?
The MacKeltars are all about their clan. Why aren't they helping Christian try to reverse the change?
Why are the nine ok with Dani knowing about them..fangs,not being able to die,etc. But Ryodan said they would kill Jo if she knew?
Who bottled up the Crimson Hag? can Dani's sword kill her?
Will Jo still be alive at the end of Dani's series?
It was weird for me to know that all this stuff was going on in Dublin but to not see Mac & Barrons out killing along side everyone else, will we see more of them in the next one?
When Dani allows the observer to take over in her..is there a danger of Dani not being able to come back?or is Dani strong enough to control it?
Is Lor going to be taking on a teacher/big brother role to Dani (big brother as only one of the 9 can)?
Last Q - will there be a time when a woman brings Ryo to his knees? Not literally. LOL!
One last note about Ryodan: He will eclipse Barrons. Blot him right out of your soul's sky. That's the challenge I've set for myself as a writer. (God, I hate it when I do this to myself.) It won't happen in the first book, or the second. But it will happen. And the gauntlet is flung...:)
Wow that is long! And there you have it folks! I for one can't wait to see what she has in store for us with the next 2 books in Dani's trilogy, as well as the remaining 2 books for Mac and Barrons! GAH I could read these books forever! BARRONS I LOVE YOU! *ahem* If you want to see all the questions and answers, here is the link to the page that held the chat: Live KMM chat
So what do you think?

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (February 8, 2006) - The Lady Bucs will hit the floor of Memorial Center for the first time in nearly a month Thursday night, as they welcome Jacksonville to Johnson City for a 4:45 start. ETSU (12-7, 8-4 A-Sun), which hasn't played in the Mini Dome since Jan. 12, will be vying to snap a two-game skid, while the Dolphins of Jacksonville (6-13, 3-9 A-Sun) is looking for their third straight victory.
Scouting the Dolphins ...
Jacksonville's 3-9 conference record is certainly deceiving, as the Dolphins have mounted a hot streak as of late, coming up with wins in its last three home games, notching victories over Stetson, Campbell, and Gardner-Webb. Dolphin Ashley Williams, the reigning A-Sun Player of the Week, is leading JU in both scoring and rebounding, posting 16.9 ppg, and 7.9 rpg. Sheena Carpenter is also playing well, averaging 13.7 points, and 7.1 rebounds a night. Carpenter scorched ETSU for 24 points in the teams' first meeting this season, on a stellar 8-for-9 performance from the field. The Dolphins are also one the best shot-blocking clubs in the league, averaging 4.53 stops per game, which is tied for most in the conference.
The Series ...
The Lady Bucs won the season's first meeting, and the first meeting in program history, 84-72, in

I loved your blog title when I saw it on the list, so I had to come visit. I have to admit, I've never been a fan of Family Guy. It seems like a show I'd like, but I've tried a number of times and it's never clicked. But I do laugh/sigh at the way most shows and movies completely get the life of a writer completely wrong.
Wishing you continued success with the A to Z challenge,

I used to watch Family Guy years ago, but I don't remember this episode. I do remember Brian frequently saying he was writing a novel, and Stewie teasing him by asking when it's done yet. :)

Yeah, usually when a TV character writes a book, it becomes a bestseller and they go on book tours and TV and such, which is far from the typical reality of publishing.
Just like every TV lawyer gets fascinating important cases rather than just writing up contracts, and TV doctors deal with emergencies and exotic diseases rather than routine shots and flus and high blood pressure cases.

Thanks for commenting on my post, everyone! The life of a writer is often portrayed as being more glamorous on TV and in the movies than what I believe it really is for most of us. But I still find this stuff entertaining to watch. =)

No Job for a Woman "The Women Who Fought to Report Wwii" Before World War II, war reporting was considered No Job For a Woman.

But there was a catch: women reporters would be banned from the frontlines, prevented from covering Front Page stories about generals and battlefield manoeuvres, and assigned "woman's angle" stories about nurses and female military personnel.

Proper Etiquette for Cultural Events: The Do's and Don'ts
Proper Etiquette for Cultural Events: The Do's and Don'ts
By Valencia E. Matthews, Ph.D.
Interim Dean of the College of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities – Florida A&M University
Patrons and attendees alike often wonder, "What is the role of the audience at a live performance?" and are at a loss to find clear answers. First and foremost, it is essential to understand that live cultural performances depend upon the audience's synergy with the performers. The audience is in fact a part of the performance. One does not exist without the other. Therefore, it is important for audiences to understand their role in setting, and enforcing, the proper standard for appropriate etiquette when attending live cultural performances.
Naturally, it is the hope that everyone who attends a live performance will either be exhilarated or at least minimally satisfied. Appropriate etiquette at a cultural event will vary widely from one place to another and culture to culture as well as by the nature of the production. However, certain rules are generally universal and common courtesies are (for the most part) obvious, but it never hurts to remind veterans and novices alike of the following do's and don'ts.
Do Arrive early: Many of us in the arts believe as follows – To be early is to be on time, and to be on time is to be late. Plan to arrive early enough to park, pick up your tickets at will call and be seated at least ten minutes before the show begins. This allows you the opportunity to absorb the ambiance of the setting and prepare yourself mentally for the performance. The advertised time is the actual start time. It is not the movies with fifteen minutes of previews. Entering late is a distraction to other audience members, and the performers.
Do Turn off all electronic devices: Commit to the performance by leaving your cell phone (and any other electronic device – iPads, beeping watches, etc.) at home or in the car. If that is not an option, at least turn the cell phone off or place it on vibrate. If you must take an emergency call, leave the auditorium and begin your conversation once you have exited. Using electronic devices is a distraction to other audience members and the performers, and is the height of disrespect at a shared event.
Do not record or take photographs: Usually photography, recordings by video, cameras or any other image capturing system is prohibited and illegal. Flash photography is also dangerous to the actors. Recordings and taking photographs is a distraction to other audience members and the performers.
Do come early and remain seated: Please do not enter or leave the auditorium during a performance unless it is an emergency. The theatre reserves the right to seat latecomers, or individuals who exit during the performance, at an appropriate break in the action or during intermission. As with many other don'ts, latecomers are a serious distraction to other audience members and the performers.
Do not make noise: Candy and/or cough drop wrappers make a lot of noise, whether they are unwrapped quickly or slowly. If you think that you might need one, keep a supply that is already unwrapped. We love babies, but crying, fussy children should not be in the theatre. Management reserves the right to have parents remove babies from the theatre. If you must bring a baby, request a seat close to the door so that you can exit quickly should the baby become fussy. Crying babies are a distraction to other audience members, and the performers.
It is always good to remember that your fellow audience members came to experience this live performance and your respect for them along with the event should be paramount. If, for whatever reason, you find that you are not interested in the performance, please do not engage in inconsiderate behavior such as talking, eating, texting, or tweeting. Please be courteous and considerate of other audience members and the performers.
Please, by all means – Do laugh at the appropriate places, do applaud as appropriate and do spread the word to your friends about what a great experience you had. For me, there is nothing like the magic of a live performance. One simply never knows what might happen, or how the audience might be elevated, transformed or otherwise entertained. I therefore invite you to help uphold and enforce the standards of proper etiquette at your next live performance.

Advocates for the Ecusta Trail, a proposed 18.5-mile rails-to-trails project between Hendersonville and Pisgah Forest, see an opportunity in the Transylvania County commissioner's race to advance their cause.
Advocates for the Ecusta Trail, a proposed 18.5-mile rails-to-trails project between Hendersonville and Pisgah Forest, see an opportunity in the Transylvania County commissioner's race to advance their cause.
The nonprofit group Friends of the Ecusta Trail has erected a billboard on U.S. Highway 64 in Brevard to help raise awareness of the trail project among voters in advance of a six-way Republican primary this May.
The billboard — which pictures a backpack-wearing hiker with the slogan "Imagine It," along with the group's web address — has quadrupled traffic to the Friends website, leaders say. But organizers say its real purpose is as a conversation starter.
"We know elections are coming up and we want to, if possible, meet with the candidates, let them know who we are, let them ask questions and ideally ask them if they'd be in favor of the trail," said Friends Chairman Hunter Marks.
Marks noted that as a nonprofit, his group is forbidden from supporting or endorsing candidates for office. "But we do want people to vote and to consider issues such as the Ecusta Trail when they vote," he added.
Transylvania commissioners — and its Economic Development Advisory Board — have consistently opposed uprooting rail ties and track, on the grounds that a rail-dependent industry might choose to locate on the former Ecusta paper mill site served by the 20-mile Norfolk Southern spur.
"Our board voted unanimously to keep the option open for that railroad to be used for future industry," said Vice Chairman Larry Chapman, the only Republican incumbent running this spring. "My opposition has not changed."
Governmental support for the Ecusta Trail has been stronger on the Henderson County side, with Laurel Park Town Council, Hendersonville City Council and the Henderson County Chamber of Commerce lining up behind the proposed rails-to-trail project.
A 2012 planning and economic impact study found the trail would generate $42 million during construction in the two counties. Thereafter, the report estimated the trail would produce $9.4 million yearly from increased tax revenues, visitor spending, health care costs savings and direct use.
Arrow in the quiver
Tracks serving the former Ecusta site have not been used for freight since the paper mill closed in 2002. Six years later, plans were announced for redevelopment of the 540-acre site for a mixed-use development called Davidson River Village, which wouldn't need rail as conceived.
Chapman said Friday he doesn't have a problem with pursuing a "rails-to-trails concept" once developers start building houses and retail on the former plant site and industrial use is no longer a possibility there.
"Until then, economic development is dependent on three major things: roads, runways and railroad," he said. "And we don't have any runways, our roads are limited, so we need to hang on to our rail."
Others in the six-way GOP primary race echoed that position, with varying degrees of open-mindedness toward the rails-to-trails project.
Scott McCall, a former county Planning Board chairman, said he agrees with Chapman that "we don't want to remove that arrow from our quiver. But if there comes a time when it is no longer needed and there are no property rights issues, I'd be willing to look at it."
Candidate Art Margraf said he'd love to see a dinner train run back and forth between Brevard and Hendersonville, but he doesn't support converting the rail bed to an asphalt pathway for strollers, runners and bikers.
"If you follow those tracks from here to there, you'll find it goes right in front of peoples' houses," he said. "Why do I want people running by my house, especially guys without shirts on? Let them throw some sand or stone along the tracks, but I don't think they should tear the tracks up."
For insurance agent and candidate Chase McKelvey, it comes down to priorities and timing. "If they found an industry that will come in with the rail, I'd rather see that," he said. "In years to come, if that's not an issue, I don't see it would be a problem to have an Ecusta Trail."
Mark Tooley, the only GOP candidate to meet with the Friends, said the rail bed between Pisgah Forest and Hendersonville is "an asset that we ought to be using, whether it's a rail or a trail. But we've got to respect the folks who own the land along there."
Tooley said he's glad to see Friends spark a conversation about the trail "because it takes resources to do it, and where is that priority in the scheme of things? To me, it has to fit into a larger strategic plan. How would it interact with infrastructure, how would it interact with local businesses?"
Former commissioner and primary candidate Kelvin Phillips could not be reached for comment, but has voted in the past for retaining the tracks for potential industry.
Rail to nowhere?
Ecusta Trail supporters say their project could generate $1.2 million in visitation each year without jeopardizing industry through a process called "railbanking." In 1983, Congress allowed railroads to lease or donate unused rail beds to trail groups for interim use without giving up future rights to repurpose them as rail.
"If a big (rail-dependent) industry came in that was a really viable industry, we wouldn't stand in its way," said Marks. "But this is a valuable asset that's just been sitting there for a dozen years. How long do you wait when we feel we have an option that could be an economic boon to the area?"
Trail supporters also point to an "economic development readiness assessment" that Transylvania County commissioned in 2013, which downplays the relevance of rail access for industry.
Its author, industry expert Jeannette Goldsmith, believes Transylvania's economic recovery is more dependent on refocusing its marketing and recruitment efforts, building its water and sewer network and developing a "shovel ready," 50- to 100-acre business park and "virtual spec building" to sell.
"Rail infrastructure is important and valuable; we are not building new rail lines in this country," Goldsmith said. "Having said that, the target industries that I outline for Transylvania County in large part do not require rail. So having the rail and having the sites with rail access is not necessarily very relevant to the economic development future in Transylvania County."
In her report, Goldsmith identified her prime target industries as nutraceuticals; outdoor gear manufacturers; food and beverage makers; auto parts companies; tourism; and sports, health and wellness facilities. They don't produce goods or require supplies in volumes suited to rail, she said.
However, Goldsmith said there's "an important third party in this conversation" — Norfolk Southern Railway, which claims fee-simple title to 85 percent to 90 percent of the track between Hendersonville and Pisgah Forest.
Any industry would have to generate enough revenue to make it worthwhile for the railroad to refurbish the line, Goldsmith said, a cost estimated in 2012 at between $4 million and $7 million. "And again, I don't see a project of that size and significance coming to Transylvania County," she said.
Working on the railroad
Durwood Laughinghouse, resident vice president for Norfolk Southern, said Friday the railroad has no intention of abandoning its idled tracks between Hendersonville and Brevard.
"It's a line that we're keeping open with the possibility of doing industrial development," he said. "You never know what's going to happen ... Whether we have to repair it or not, we'll make sure it can service any industry that needs it."
That doesn't discourage Ken Shelton, a Friends board member who said the railroad "always says they're not interested in giving up a right-of-way until the last second, and then they often make what appears to be a spur-of-the-moment decision that has everybody scrambling for the next step. That's just their modus operandi."
His group is encouraging citizens of both counties to talk about the Ecusta Trail prospects now in preparation for the inevitable day when Norfolk Southern realizes the costs of taxes, liability insurance and maintenance outweigh its returns, Shelton said.
"If a political voice was heard along the full length of the line that they're no longer interested in (rail-dependent) industry, I think Norfolk Southern would consider abandoning that line," he said.

U.S. agriculture should pay careful attention to the value of the U.S. dollar and foreign currency as potential pitfalls could be looming and threatening domestic exports, according to a Texas AgriLife Extension Service economist.
The U.S. dollar has depreciated approximately 15 percent in the last six months compared to many other currencies, making exports less expensive to foreign buyers and consumers, said Dr. Parr Rosson, AgriLife Extension economist and director of the Center for North American Studies at Texas A&M University.
China and Japan, however, have taken action to lower the value of their currencies, making their products less expensive on the world market and raising the cost of U.S. exports to consumers in both countries.
This action creates more competition for U.S. exports from competing countries, Rosson said.
"This makes their products less expensive and makes U.S. products more expensive to consumers in China and Japan. The European Union may adopt a similar policy if the euro continues to strengthen. If this occurs, it could result in an all-out trade war."
China raises interest rates
Tuesday, China announced that it will raise interest rates in order to try and reduce the effects of inflation and avoid the house price bubble experienced by many other countries. The higher rates put upward pressure on China's currency, but the government appears to have intervened in the market to mitigate currency appreciation.
The G-20 Summit, scheduled for Oct. 21-23 in South Korea, will try to "identify and prioritize" the most pressing economic issues, one of which is currency manipulation, Rosson said.
"The danger we face is getting into a trade war in which countries retaliate against trading partners who devalue their currencies by implementing higher tariffs or some trade restriction." The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to do just that in late September.
Rosson noted this happened during the 1930s. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff or the Tariff Act of 1930 raised tariffs on 20,000 imports to record levels. Many economic experts believe that the Smoot-Hawley Tariff contributed to the severity of the economic crisis of the Great Depression, reducing world trade and raising costs to consumers, thereby lowering standards of living worldwide, Rosson said.
Tariffs may hurt
"During that time, other countries responded to high U.S. tariffs by raising their own tariffs, which led to higher consumer prices," he said. "A lot of people maintain that the Great Depression wouldn't have been as severe had this situation not occurred."
Higher tariffs and higher consumer prices would lead to a buildup of inventories as a result of not moving goods to export locations, Rosson said. That could further slow the economic recovery in the U.S. and globally.
Even as agricultural prices have increased, U.S. exports have remained strong, Rosson said. This is attributed to the relatively low value of the U.S. dollar, which is currently trading almost even with the Canadian dollar.
"The belief is that China will retain a low-priced currency to export more," Rosson said. "China is the number two U.S. agricultural export market. Cotton, soybeans and many other products are in high demand there. So, a relatively weak Chinese yuan will limit their ability to purchase U.S. agricultural products."
Rosson said what many would like to see happen is China's currency determined by the market rather than by the government.
"There will be dual impacts if their currency appreciates," Rosson said. "Some analysts indicate that the yuan could appreciate by a minimum of 20 percent and possibly by as much as 40 percent. However, that would be somewhat disruptive to the Chinese economy in the near term. U.S. exports to China would be boosted over time due to stronger consumer demand and lower cost U.S. products."
U.S. agricultural exports remain strong, Rosson said.
"Exports are booming," he said, with agricultural exports running 14 percent above last year. "The U.S. Department of Agriculture chief economist has indicated that we may set another record (for exports). That's certainly good news for U.S. agriculture, but we'll need to watch exchange-rate policies and economic recovery around the world to see whether or not this actually happens."

348 East 300 South
Director: Joseph Heywood
Due to anticipated minor delays related to the installation of three new buildings on the Moab Charter School campus, school will start on Thursday, Aug. 22, instead of on Aug. 14, according to MCS Director Joseph Heywood.
"It'll take a lot of work, but things are happening fast and I think we should be ready to go," Heywood said on July 30 as workers poured fresh cement for new children's restroom facilities that will be attached to the cafeteria and multipurpose room. Crews have already demolished the old administration building and replaced it with three modular structures, two of which will be used as classrooms. The other one, the northernmost building, will serve as the new home for the administrative offices and the special education department, Heywood said.
"Grades K through six all now have their own classrooms," Heywood said, adding that other improvements are also underway, including renovating the cafeteria and installing additional kitchen equipment.
The interior space between the classroom buildings will be landscaped to include walkways and grass, Heywood said.
Moab Charter School is a free public school funded by the Utah State Office of Education. It is one of approximately 80 charter schools throughout the state. At MCS, class sizes are capped at 20 students per grade level, and Heywood said that while most grades are completely filled and have waiting lists for the coming school year, there are still a few open spots in certain grade levels.
Moab Charter School's current enrollment of approximately 130 students in seven grades is more than three-and-a-half times the 36 students the school served back in 2008, when Heywood first took over as director. Heywood now oversees a staff of about 15, including seven full-time classroom teachers, one at each grade level.
"We have top-notch educators from all around the country on our faculty," he said.
At MCS, school starts at 8:15 a.m. every weekday. On early-dismissal Fridays, all students are released at 1 p.m. On the other four days of the week, students in grades one through six will be dismissed at 3:15 p.m., while kindergartners will leave one hour earlier, at 2:15 p.m., Heywood said.
Heywood said a revised school calendar will be posted soon on the school's website at moabcharterschool.org. The last day of school will be moved to May 30 instead of May 23, he noted.
"We're going to have to shift some other dates around, but we'll get that updated in the next few days," he said.
For more information, visit the MCS website or contact the school's administration office at 435-259-2277.

Since its founding in 1997, Heartland Payment Systems has grown to become the sixth-largest payments processor in the U.S.
As a result of its rapid growth and several acquisitions, the Princeton, N.J-based company found itself with a conglomeration of disparate technologies and platforms across nine data centers. Heartland's CTO, Kris Herrin, set his team to the task of consolidating the data centers and modernizing legacy platforms to reduce costs.
After a two-year, multimillion-dollar project, Heartland now runs just three data centers, and it has switched mainframe applications to open systems, brought outsourced functions in-house and partnered with a third-party provider to create a hybrid cloud-based data center that uses a combination of private and public resources.
By eliminating redundant and inefficient processes, the project lowered net operating expenses for one line of business by 48% and for IT overall by 18%. In addition to the hybrid data center, Heartland now has one traditional data center and one colocation facility. Heartland partnered with Fujitsu to create the hybrid facility, using that company's hardware, cloud offerings and newly renovated data center.
While Herrin acknowledges that moving to the cloud "is always a tough conversation," one of this colleagues says his ability to communicate with both the IT and business sides of the house was critical to the success of the project. "He's very good at engaging with the business and helping them see the big picture," says Bryan Thompson, Heartland's chief enterprise architect. "He's good in front of an audience. He's also got a customer service focus."

One of the most important moments that most students look forward to is right around the corner for the Skyline seniors. Graduation.
The majority of the Skyline seniors are ready to graduate, but before they can be handed their diploma they must complete a senior project. In previous years, Skyline has required their students to do community service hours in order to graduate. This year the students are to find a topic that interests them and then find a mentor that works in that field. Seniors are also required to write an essay to go along with their project for their English IV class.
Some seniors have found their topic and a mentor.
"I have already followed my mentor, Dr. Fowler, for six hours," senior Ashley Koirth said. "This time includes following him on office visits and watching deliveries."
Every day that passes, other students are feeling the pressure as to find a topic and a mentor.
"I'm definitely feeling a rush to decide what my topic should be," senior Allison Sanders said. "I want more time to explore my options."
Even though this project is a big part of the students' final grade, some students are not feeling the pressure. They find working with mentors in a field that they may go into an exciting experience.
"I'm really excited to get started. I have two mentors, one is an ARNP that is very knowledgeable in emergency medicine at Kiowa County Memorial Hospital," senior Colten Sharp-Ebert said. "My other mentor is a physician in internal medicine at Pratt Regional Medical Center."
The Skyline seniors are very grateful to the city of Pratt and the surrounding areas for taking the time to mentor and work with them.
Tony Marquez is a senior at Skyline School.

Traditionally, IDS has provided multiple robust solutions forsupporting high availability data replication options. Previousreleases of IDS have supported two replication technologies: EnterpriseReplication (ER) and High Availability Data Replication (HDR). By usingthese technologies together, customers are able to achieve very highlevels of data availability. Both replication technologiescan be integrated with each other and coexist with other availabilitysolutions such as disk mirroring.
While HDR and ER have been features of IDS for many years, and haveproven to be highly reliable and low-maintenance technologies. IDS nowadds support for two new types of secondary servers:
- Secondary servers that share the same physical disk. TheShared Disk Secondary (SDS) servers provide increased availability byallowing one or more instances of the IDS server to attach to the samedisk subsystem, providing redundancy for the server in addition to dataredundancy solutions
- Additional remote secondary servers. The Remote StandaloneSecondary (RSS) servers extend HDR to provide multiple local or remotebackup servers that also replicate the data.
Both SDS and RSS servers provide customers a way to obtain increasedcapacity by distributing workload across multiple servers.Customers canchoose any of these solutions on their own. They become even morepowerful by combining all three types of topologies together. AddingEnterprise Replication, a completely customized availability solutioncan be delivered to meet each unique availability requirement.. Theseconfigurations are simple to set up and maintain, and are highlyscalable.
The following image depicts a Continuous Availability solution with 3tier protection. For example, if the Primary in Building-A inNew Orleans went down for some reason the role of the primary caneasily be switched to one of the SDS servers running on the bladeserver in Building-B. This would cause all other secondaryservers to automatically connect to the new primary server. If both the servers in New Orleans died, Memphisbecomes your Primary and Denver can be made HDR secondary and you mayeven add some SDS servers to Memphis blade server for load balance.

(Feb. 9, 2006) - Senior guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) became ETSU basketball's all-time leading scorer, surpassing former Buccaneer great Greg Dennis' total of 2,204 points as the Bucs dropped Campbell 89-81 in Atlantic Sun Conference play Thursday night at Memorial Center.
Smith scored a team-high 24 points in all, and his career total now stands at 2,215. As a team, the Bucs (15-8, 12-4 A-Sun) have now won 14 of their last 16 and hold a 1/2-game lead in the A-Sun regular season standings. Meanwhile,
"It felt like it was going to be easy, but it wasn't," said Smith, who needed 14 points to break the record and didn't get it until a free throw at the mark of the second half. "I guess I was too loose early in the game. They were clogging the middle on us in the zone and they didn't make it easy."
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow was pleased to see Smith break the record.
"I'm happy for Timmy and glad to see him get the record behind him," Bartow said. "Greg Dennis was a great player here and it's special for Tim to catch a guy like that. Tim's such a great competitor, a fighter and a winner."
Winning seemed to be a question mark for the Bucs late in Thursday's game, a contest which pitted ETSU, the nation's No. 1 scoring offense at 84.0 ppg, and Campbell, the nation's No. 3 scoring offense at 87.3 ppg. Despite the fact that ETSU never trailed in the contest, the Fighting Camels did manage to cut the Bucs' 10-point halftime lead to only two at 66-64 with left in the game.
