On Saturday I'm going to Who Do You Think You Are? Live 2009 at Olympia in London.
I've never been to an exhibition like this and I'm not sure what to expect.
I'm going to attend 2 workshops - one on Irish Records at the National Archives in Kew, London and one with the Berkshire Family History Group.
Does anyone have any ideas what would be good to take with me? Obviously I'll take a pad and a pen but not sure how much of my own information I should take so that I can make the most of any opportunities for further research.
Dan Eastman from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter has attended in the past and posted a video on his blog which can be seen here. It looks like there is a really good atmosphere and plenty to see.

Call Or Email For Our Price
The TAVOR® is a perfect fusion of an ordnance grade steel receiver coupled to a Mil-Spec cold hammer forged barrel and encased into a high-impact strength polymer uni-body with exceptional situational ergonomics. The ultra-compact form factor allows for easy transitions in close quarter situations…or even in your favorite deer blind. The bullpup design moves the center of gravity of the rifle closer to the users' body allowing for more instinctive aiming and improved acquisition time to target. This innovative design also allows for a full length barrel, which means no loss of down range ballistic accuracy. Near and far range accuracy is enhanced by the minimized recoil provided by a non-lubricated long stroke gas piston system. With the exception of a hand-specific locking bolt, the rifle is completely ambidextrous allowing for easy left-hand conversion of the operating handle, ejection port, fire-control safety, sling swivel receptacles and fore-mounted accessory Picatinny rail. The TAVOR® is supplied with IDF-tested and approved magazines – but you can also use your own AR-15/M16 style magazines.
Rifle comes with 1-30 round magazine, lock and cleaning kit.
At the end of the 1982 Israel-Lebanon War arose an understanding that the modern battlefield had changed. One of the conclusions from the war, particularly relevant to the small arms industry, was that the battle had moved from open field conflicts to close-quarters engagements – and there was a need for a seamless transition from daylight to nighttime capability on a single mission. Out of this understanding, and after more than a decade of collaboration and testing with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) - the TAVOR® rifle was born. Just as race car technology trickles down to consumer automobiles, so do these time and battle-tested firearms now become a modern sporting rifle platform for civilian gun enthusiasts.
Please Note: This description and product image may represent a general group of products. Please read the item's title and specifications for more specific information about this particular item.
Guns can only be shipped to a location within the USA that holds an FFL (Federal Firearms License) - this can be your local gun shop, pawn shop, sporting goods store, etc. Your local gun dealer will then handle the transfer of the firearm to you.

2012 Kecksburg Festival to Feature UFO Conference
The sixth annual Kecksburg Old Fashion Days & UFO Festival will be held on July 28,29, at the Fire Station in Kecksburg, PA.
Festivities begin with a parade on Saturday at 2 pm. Prizes will be awarded for the best alien float and alien costume, as well as prizes for some other events.
Additional events on Saturday will include the Bucket Brigade, Bed Race, and the Hay Bale Toss. The famous Burn Out Contest begins at 7 pm. The Two Man Band performs from 8:30-11 pm. The Social Hall houses the Arts and Crafts exhibits and UFO/Bigfoot /Paranormal displays both days.
On Sunday, you can enter or check out the Classic Car and Bike Show from noon until 5pm. Bring your appetite and enter the second annual "Out of This World UFO Hot Dog Eating Contest" at 1 pm and listen to music by Katrina Lynn nearby on the stage.
The Kecksburg UFO Conference will be free and will be held from 2-5pm. New this year is the Kids Pedal Power Tractor Pull for kids ages 3-10 years at 3 pm. The Mount Pleasant Township community of Kecksburg has become the focus of international interest as a result of a famous UFO incident that occurred near there in December of 1965. The incident involves a fiery object that reportedly fell in a wooded area near this rural community. A number of independent witnesses found a large metallic acorn shaped object with strange hieroglyphic-like symbols that was semi-buried in the ground. Later that evening, the military arrived in the area and apparently recovered the object and hauled it away, never to be seen by the public again. A number of Kecksburg firemen took part in the 1965 UFO event, also.
Commemorating this historical local event includes a large UFO, Bigfoot and other Paranormal display as well as speakers. Pittsburgh area investigators and research organizations will be on hand both days in the Social Hall along with the Arts and Crafts show.
Those scheduled to attend include Stan Gordon, Author and UFO-Bigfoot Researcher. Gordon will attend both days and will be signing his two new books for the Kecksburg V.F.D. Gift Shop display. Also attending will be
Eric Altman, Director of the (PBS) Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society
John Ventre, Author and PA State Director of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
Dave Dragosin, Assistant Director of the PBS for Western Pennsylvania
Brian and Terrie Seech, Center for Unexplained Events (CUE)
Keith Bastianini, UFO Researcher & Graphic Artist
Jim Brown, Electronics Lab, Independent Research Associates.
On Sunday, Kecksburg will hold their First Annual Kecksburg UFO Conference in their newly constructed EMS building with more seating and a new sound system. The speaker event will be held from 2 to 5pm and will be free to the public.
Scheduled to attend are as follows. Stan Gordon will present a synopsis of the December 9, 1965, Kecksburg UFO incident and will give an update on recent UFO and strange creature reports from the area. John Ventre, PA State MUFON Director, will give a presentation entitled "The Case For UFOs".
Eric Altman, the Director of PBS, will discuss his groups work and introduce the 3rd speaker, Dave Dragosin, who will give his presentation "Pennsylvania Bigfoot Sightings As Related Through Artist Sketches".
Questions and answer sessions will be as time permits. Join us for great food, family fun, and free entertainment. All about forty miles from Pittsburgh at Claypike and Route 982. For information call 724-423-9540 or 724-423-2580. Also check out the Kecksburg V.F.D. website: www.kecksburgvfd.com

Our ancestors belonged to organizations just as we do, and these organizations created records that can tell us more about their lives and interests. Membership records place an individual in a time and place'information that can lead us to other records. Details from membership applications and records often include dates and places that can be very helpful in our genealogical research. The organizations discussed in this section are representative of the types that exist, though in terms of numbers they include only a small percentage of those that have existed over the years.

- 2 Jewish Foundation for Education of Women, 1880 to 1988

Fraternal Organizations and Fraternal Benefit Societies
At the beginning of the twentieth century, about eighty-five percent of adult males in the United States belonged to a fraternal organization such as the Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, and Elks. Members in a given society shared a military experience, religion, or occupation. Often the organizations had an ethnic composition, so members shared language, culture, and memories. The social organization was only one benefit to members. Organizations sold, for a relatively low price, insurance that covered sickness, disability, and burial. The organizations also had an obligation to care for the widows and orphaned children of members. The fraternal organizations often published their own newspapers, sponsored classes in Americanization, and supported orphanages, homes for the aged, and social clubs. While there were hundreds such ethnic organizations, the most important ones appear in List of Ethnic Organizations.<ref>August E. Bolino, The Ellis Island Source Book (Washington, D.C.: Kensington Historical Press, 1985), 119, 121.</ref> Descriptions of many fraternal organizations appears in Schmidt's Fraternal Organizations.<ref>Alvin J. Schmidt, The Greenwood Encyclopedia of American Institutions: Fraternal Institutions (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1980).</ref>
Membership in fraternal organizations frequently is designated by initials or a symbol on tombstones. Knowing what the initials or the insignia stand for can lead the family historian to additional records for research. A partial list of abbreviations appears in Tombstone Initials and Their Meanings. More abbreviations may be found at the ObitCentral.
Freemasonry came to the United States from England in 1733, making it one of the earliest fraternal organizations in the country. For more than two centuries, it was an influential institution because of the membership of prominent individuals. Lodge records are generally limited to membership information: date of joining the lodge, rank attained, offices held, and so on. There may be biographical material on some lodge leaders. Members in the Blue Lodge or basic unit are divided into three degrees, with the highest being Master Mason. Membership information is available from existing units. Each state's Grand Masonic Lodge maintains only membership status records but should be contacted first for the name of the probable membership lodge. Contact that lodge for more complete information. The Freemasons website is a good place to begin a search for membership organization. The attached image indicates Fred Harry Carter was a member of the Freemasons.
Modern Woodmen of America
One example of a fraternal benefit society is Modern Woodmen of America. The organization was founded in 1883 by Joseph Cullen Root, who dreamed of a fraternal benefit society that would provide financial security to families from all walks of life. Despite its name, the organization was never limited to those involved in forestry or woodworking, but rather came from a sermon discussing 'pioneer woodmen clearing the forest for the benefit of man.' Members lived in the less urban areas of the country's north. Members photographed in uniform carried heavy axes and had insignia on their hats, as shown in the attached image. One of the most interesting aspects of the Woodmen is the distinctive tombstones found at the graves of members. Likely the design includes a tree stump or the design of one carved on a marker.
Modern Woodmen offers two types of records: the business records of various units, called lodges, and records of benefits paid, which of course are more interesting to genealogists. The first death benefit was issued in 1884 to a Davenport, Iowa, widow, whose husband died from 'indiscretion in eating confectionery, ice cream, etc. on the Fourth of July, with the incident excitement and heat.'<ref> Gail Ann Hodges Levis, 'My Papa Was a Woodman,' FORUM 15 (Fall 2003): 1, 21, 22.</ref> Records from then through 1946 will be searched upon request; details are available at the website.<ref>Albert E. Smith Jr., The Grand Army of the Republic and Kindred Societies: A Guide to Resources in the General Collections of the Library of Congress (Washington, D.C.: Library of Congress, 2001), available online at http://www.loc.gov/rr/main/gar/garhome.html.</ref>
Grand Army of the Republic
The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) was formed to cultivate fraternity, comradeship, and patriotism among Union veterans who had served in the United States on land or sea during the Civil War, 1861'1865. Founded in Illinois in 1866, the organization spread quickly throughout the country. During the late nineteenth century, GAR had considerable influence in state and national politics. Among other things, members promoted the establishment of Memorial Day as a national holiday.
GAR featured a three-tiered organization: posts at the local or precinct level, districts at the county level, and departments at the state level. Meetings had multiple purposes: to promote the organization, to protect and assist disabled soldiers and their families, and to promote appreciation of service to the country through moral, social, and political activity. An example of post records is the Utah register shown in the attached image. A list of GAR posts arranged by department may be found in Albert E. Smith, Jr.'s The Grand Army of the Republic and Kindred Societies: A Guide to Resources in the General Collections of the Library of Congress, which may be accessed online.<ref>Albert E. Smith Jr., The Grand Army of the Republic and Kindred Societies: A Guide to Resources in the General Collections of the Library of Congress (Washington, D.C.: Library of Congress, 2001), available online at http://www.loc.gov/rr/main/gar/garhome.html.</ref>
The GAR almost disappeared in the early 1870s, and many state units disbanded. New leadership about 1875 led to new growth, and in 1890, the GAR reached its largest membership of just over 490,000. In 1949, six surviving members permanently closed the organization.<ref>'A Brief History of the Grand Army of the Republic,' at http://www.garmuslib.org/GARhistory.htm.</ref>
Because membership in the GAR was so widespread, any genealogist with an ancestor who fought in and survived the Civil War should look for membership information on that ancestor.
Survival of the records is good, and many are available in print or on the Web. Some examples follow, and researchers should always check Cyndi's List for additional listings.

Jewish Foundation for Education of Women, 1880 to 1988
Since 1964, the Jewish Foundation for Education of Women has provided nonsectarian scholarship assistance to disadvantaged women seeking to better themselves through higher education. The organization traces its origins to the Louis Down Town Sabbath School, founded in 1880 to help underprivileged children of Jewish immigrants on the Lower East Side. From 1895 to 1932, operating as the Hebrew Technical School for Girls, it offered courses in commercial and industrial arts to young women. Directors closed the school in 1932 and developed a program of scholarship assistance to women. Although the foundation became nonsectarian in 1964, it retained the term 'Jewish' in its title as a reminder of its heritage. Manuscript records include correspondence, minutes, annual reports, case files, registers of scholarship recipients, and miscellaneous administrative records.<ref>John D. Stinson, comp., 'Guide to the Records of the Jewish Foundation for the Education of Women' (1991), found at New York Public Library website at http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/spe/rbk/faids/jewishfound.html.</ref>

NASHVILLE (March 7, 2008) - What may be one of the most controversial foul calls in Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament history highlighted a nightmarish final seven minutes for the ETSU men's basketball team, as the Buccaneers watched a 10-point advantage vanish in the final minutes Friday night of a 69-65 loss to rival Belmont inside the Allen Arena.
Leading 63-53 with 6:22 remaining in the game,
The end result was
"This is the most disappointing loss I've had as a head coach," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, who made no comment to the media about the technical call. "We just couldn't make shots the last seven minutes."
The foul call tarnished what was otherwise a great game for Swader, who finished with 17 points and 15 rebounds to post his fourth career double-double. As a team, the Bucs had also managed to stall the
An offensive frenzy highlighted the first half, as both teams lit up the nets and the lead was passed back-and-forth throughout the 20 minutes.
Ultimately, the Bucs powered to a nine-point edge thanks to a 13-2 run powered by nine straight points from sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) that made it 44-35 with just over a minute left in the half. However, a runner by Alex Renfroe and a 3-pointer by Matthew Dotson at the buzzer made it 44-40 at the break. The Bucs shot 50 percent from the floor and 44 percent from behind the arc, while the Bruins cooled down from a hot start to finish at 36 percent from the floor.
In the second half, the Bucs looked in control with their 10-point lead, but ultimately scored just 21 points in the final 20 minutes of the game.
Along with Swader, junior guard Courtney Pigram (

Whats up with the pervy guys asking pervy questions?
Honestly, I think some of those were girls.
Rockmontage wrote:
So I jump on to the forums here for like the first time ever, anyway all I see is pervy questions such as: Does breast size really matter, Do girls have dirty minds too? Favourite place to get kissed?
Is it me or has CR become an emo pervy facebook group? TBH they should probably ditch the whole general discussion thing as it is primarily an anime and asian drama website.
I think the word pervert is used too broadly these days...everyone's perverted,but on different levels...I have known girls who seem to be perfect little A student angels, but once she got me alone, wanted to do things that if I typed them I would be kicked off of crunchyroll and no they were not things that would be considered in the norm . people here are just being honest about things...as long as they don't go overboard it should be fine.
good bye
I was just about to say... Girls I know are the pervier than my pervy guy friends... some of it has even rubbed off on me.
Huge ass hiatus.
am i the only one who wishes ecchi and fanservice anime will cease to exist.i like women but what they do cross the line adding boobs that are like f size on 11 year olds.also animes your sorta liking and then they flash panties alot and it starts getting old
i love toradora
Wait...so you're saying that Crunchyroll ISN'T a suitable replacement for Sex Ed?!
Also, perverts are pretty prevalent in anime, so complaining about it here is pretty petty lol.

It's the age group where people are the most curious about the other sex and all their insecurities and anxieties. This wasn't a sudden change, it's been like this since day one of Crunchyroll.
While this is true for a lot of people, I don't really think it's fair to lump us all together. Yes, I'm 15, but I don't talk about this type of thing like it's nothing.
It is kind of annoying to see the General boards of a forum stuffed with that kind of topic.
I didn't lump everyone in it. There's no part of my post that says "every 12-16 year old does this". I merely stated that this is the age group where they are the MOST CURIOUS about such things. Not that they openly speak of such things.
Wow . I guess that somewhere in the world its okay for 12-16 year olds to be perverts. I dont know any 12-16 year olds that would do this so openly. Maybe they are pedos trying to get their jollys??
Oh and that right I forgot that this site was all about "tweens" being perves? Maybe it should be called crunchy perve?? Arent moderates meant to moderate things??
I like the pervy forums.

There is nothing to moderate. There is nothing in the rules that says "threads about pervy questions are not allowed". If someone finds a post that is too explicit and reports it, it will be dealt with. I don't see why you have such a hard time realising that some teenagers are curious to enough to ask on Crunchyroll, where nobody knows their identify.
lol all the girls replying on here sound like 10yr olds. all the boys sound like boys lmao and there are some mature answers scattered in-between but scarce lol
You could see this way.
Would you rather these people walk around asking people face to face who don't necessarily want to answer these questions? Or let them post threads on here so that amongst the people calling them wierd, they get some people who are willing to provide the information they wanted, and thus their question answered/discussed.
People are curious, forums are a great way to sate curiousity by asking question. Hell if i asked about stuff i was curious about when i was younger, before the information would have been usefull, i could have saved myself a lot of awkwardness as a teenager!
Obviously there are lines, but heyho. You're lucky to find a forum without the trash these days.
-Any reality you don't need can be regarded as delusion.
Dear Senator Rockmontage;
We know what you are thinking all the whilst bashing pervs, gays and others. Step away from the lanolin, sir.

Um noone is bashing gays or others... Unless pedos are gays in your world... But sure..
There is this thing you can do on your computer to navigate away from the pervy threads. If a thread mentions boobs in the title don't click on it. If you just want to talk about anime go to the anime section. Since no anime have sexual content you should be fine there.
Easily distracted by shiny things.
Thoughts? Certainly: It's got to do with the age of the general user-base along with the gender balance and site content. But the single biggest factor is the fact that no topics are allowed to be re-posts which means a lot of the topics that are displayed on the first page are essentially zombie threads that should have died years ago.
Sometimes its not that the person is perverted, is just they are very curious.
Its also a way of learning. You are not going to learn if you don't ask questions. lol

Later, in the age of technology, she scanned pictures and made CDs to share with the family. Email and face to face computer calls kept her in touch with the whole family up and down the East Coast. After leaving her homestead of 60 years in Minisink Hills, she lived with her daughter in Endicott, N.Y., for the past five years.
Bernadette's warm grace, wisdom and wit of her life over the last 101 years will be greatly missed by her beloved family and friends.

As I said, Mr. Speaker, this fund was established at a time when there were not many programs aimed toward women's health. We have spent more money than other government in promoting women's health.
Our government continues to assist the provinces and territories in the delivery of health care. We will be transferring historic amounts over the next few years; $40 billion by the end of the decade.
Again the NDP members voted against each one of those initiatives.

In the Ayn Rand novel, Atlas Shrugged, the mass disappearance of creative and business leaders is underscored with a question about their organizer, as in Who is John Galt?
Sometimes, life imitates art. Within the last year there have been more than 20 changes in leadership for local organizations as prominent as Mercy Regional Medical Center, Durango School District 9-R, a municipal judge and the local branch of Bank of Colorado, just to name a few.
The change is constant, too: Durango-La Plata County Airport and United Way of Southwest Colorado are shopping for new executives.
With so many changes, locals probably are asking themselves: Who is Damian Peduto? Who is Briggen Wrinkle? Who is Peggy Zemach?
To answer the questions, Peduto is the countys new planning director, Wrinkle is the new executive director of the Community Foundation Serving Southwest Colorado, and Zemach is the new executive director of Durango Arts Center.
The bigger question, of course, is why so many changes at once? Could there be a unified field theory of taking this job and shoving it?
In the novel, Galt gathers his societal dropouts in a remote mountain town that is reportedly based on Ouray so they can to make a last stand for individualism.
Its doubtful, however, whether La Plata Countys former leaders are collectively hiding out in Ouray to make a particular political statement.
Many people familiar with the changes did not think there was a grand conspiracy theory.
I dont think theres something in the water, said Jack Llewellyn, executive director of the Durango Chamber of Commerce.
Rather, many people familiar with the turnover pointed to such factors as job stress, the relatively miserly wages and benefits offered at nonprofits, the natural tenure of an executive position lasting only five to seven years and the need for organizations to get fresh perspective and energy at the top.
I think change is good, but it just so happened that it was so quick. In one year, so many people changed. I dont think it was something in our community, like Lets all quit, said Susan Lander, who took over as interim director of the Durango Area Tourism Office last summer and who has formerly led Music in the Mountains and the Womens Resource Center, too.
Rather than disappearing, leaders here tend to reinvent themselves at new organizations.
Tim Walsworth, for example, is leaving United Way of Southwest Colorado to take over the Business Improvement District. Lon Erwin, the former director of the Community Foundation, took over Habitat for Humanity of La Plata County.
Organizations trading leaders demonstrates the interdependency of the community, officials said.
I have always wanted to do a day in Durango without nonprofits. The hospital would close. There would be no school, no mental health, no music, no art, Lander said. So many people think (nonprofits) get their money from the state. They dont understand we have to support each other.
Chris Cable, however, would be an example of a cheechako, which is Alaskan/Chinook slang for a newcomer, as in somebody ignorant of the terrain, weather, culture and necessary driving skills in the winter,
Cable took over as executive director of the Discovery Museum after formerly leading science centers in Anchorage and Spokane. Cables professional experience illustrates another reason for changes in leadership.
When an organizations mission changes, the leaders often change, too. Lander, for example, likes to build up new organizations, but is not so interested in maintaining the status quo.
Cable came to Durango to build up interest in the Discovery Museum, which opened in early 2011. He wants to broaden the appeal to all age groups, especially the 21- to 35-year-old age group, which is the market the science center has struggled (with), Cable said.
The museum is getting a regular liquor license so it can regularly host trivia nights for adults who might like a glass of beer or wine, too.
Cable wants to transform the old smokestack of its building, which is a former power station, into a tower of power, showcasing the promise of renewable energy with wind turbines and solar panels.
As much as he wants the tower to inspire, he wants people to become their own leaders, too.
We are in the business of creating thinkers, Cable said.

In the new apartment...
My 60" 8-shaft LeClerc loom (it's an 8-shaft Nilus) will have its own room. I christen our second bedroom "The Loom Room." Chris has disassembled it and made a numerical key for reassembly at the new place.
In the meantime, I'm working on a few new designs... here's a tiny preview. How I love a turned hem! It's actually liberating to only have ready access to the yarn for two design projects; I'm flying through them.

From Shun To Wusthof: Our Favorite Kitchen Shears
Kitchen shears are one of our favorite kitchen tools. They are seriously underestimated and frankly, we're not sure why. There's no better way to cut poultry than with the use of kitchen shears. What makes them so great is that they can be used for so much. Need a hand with a stubborn cork or lid on a jar? Kitchen shears to the rescue!
• Shun Classic 'Taskmaster' Shears, $39.95 at Sur la Table: These shears can do anything and cut everything from twine to bones, open bottles and jars, crack nuts, lift lids and more. We really like the comfortable, non stick handles so you can be sure your hands won't get tired or slip while cutting. Plus, there's a magnetic plastic cover that's included.
• Wüsthof Classic Poultry Shears, $59.95 at Williams Sonoma: Stainless steel serrated blades is what sets these shears apart from the rest and certainly makes us overlook the nearly $60.00 price tag. The blades are sharp enough to cut through bones without tearing the meat.
• Messermeister 8-Inch Take-Apart Kitchen Scissors, $15.90 at Amazon: Our favorite part of these scissors is that they come completely apart. That may not seem like an important feature, but it is, especially for cleaning after using on poultry. Can be used with left or right hand!
• Wüsthof® Poultry Shears, $74.95 at Sur la Table: Made from high quality carbon steel, these poultry shears are as traditional as they come with modern upgrades. The ergonomic, non slip handles are an important feature so ensure accidents don't happen. Plus, the shears come with a lifetime warranty.
• J.A. Henckels International Kitchen Shears, $15.99 at Amazon: Made with no-stain steel blades that have been micro serrated for non-slip cutting. The shears are dishwasher safe, but no recommended.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Alex Rudolph led the way with 22 points and Babson connected on nearly 52% of its shots to hand the nationally-ranked No. 19 MIT men's basketball team a 73-56 loss in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play Saturday afternoon at Rockwell Cage. Four Engineers finished in double-figures but it was not enough to avoid a third loss in four games for Tech (10-4 overall, 0-1 NEWMAC). The Beavers improve to 6-7 overall and even their conference ledger at 1-1.
A Will Tashman layup to open the second half scoring cut the MIT deficit to just five but Babson responded with five straight points to build a 38-28 lead less than a minute into the second stanza. Back-to-back buckets by Nick Davis later in the frame brought the Cardinal and Gray within four. From there the Engineers would see their visitors reel off 13 of the next 16 points over a 6:27 stretch to open up a 14-point advantage.
A traditional three-point play by Kris Noonan started the spurt and Matt Zoia capped it with consecutive trifectas, the second of which put Babson on top 53-39 with 8:03 to go. Tech would get as close as eight on a few occasions down the stretch but could not chip away at the Babson lead any more than that, dropping its conference opener for the first time since the 2006-07 season.
Nick Davis and Jamie Karraker topped the scoring column for the Cardinal and Gray with 12 apiece. Mitchell Kates scored 11 points while adding seven boards and six assists. Will Tashman also finished with 11 for Tech.
Rudolph made four-of-seven from behind the arc on the way to his 22 points. Noonan had six rebounds to go along with 17 points. Peter Foley led the Beavers on the glass with nine caroms.
The Engineers will look for their first league win on Wednesday, January 12 when they travel to WPI for a 7:00 p.m. game. Babson hosts Coast Guard Academy on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m.

Your browser does not support iframes.
People have spoken: Witt, Newkirk and Williams should be recalled
I am an 81-year-old great-grandmother, and I have grandchildren attending Jefferson County schools. I do not like the waste of money that might be going to challenge the recall of the three Board of Education members. More than twice the required signatures were gathered, which shows the voters' support for the recall.
Be an informed voter in recall election
Marion and Jim Dries wrote in a recent letter that folks should seek the truth before voting in the school board recall election. A very good way to do that would be to check out two websites: freedomforeducation.com and jeffcoeducationtruth.com.
School board recall is really about control by teachers union
The discussion of the three school board recall petitions in the Times illustrates the stated reasons for the recall but makes no reference to the real reason, which can be stated in a few words: Not controlled by teachers union. This simpler wording on the petitions and ballots might not have impressed the secretary of state or voters, but would have the virtue of honesty.
Recall elections waste money, diminish importance of regular elections
Not long ago we had a recall election for the Evergreen Fire Protection District board over a capital improvements decision. Now, another disaffected group of citizens is asking for a recall election to be held to remove the conservative bloc on the Jeffco school board. In both cases, the primary issues are associated with policy decisions, not malfeasance in office.
Keep your distance from the elk
On June 15, a YouTube video was posted of an elk chasing a man and his dog while he was running around Evergreen Lake. Locals in Evergreen are accustomed to being around elk. We see them often. They are peaceful animals. We all coexist together. That is, when we keep our distance.
Speeding on Brook Forest Road endangers residents, motorists
I am 11 years old, and I have seen at least seven crashes on Brook Forest Road. I am sick and tired of people flying up the road and sounding as loud as a race car.
Too many people have learned the hard way going too fast. A lot of the stories are dreadful, and I heard that one person even died. The others have had a lot of luck. I was shocked to see one live to see another day.
Testing is not connected to school accountability
Greg Romberg's recent column speaks of school "accountability" and testing as if they were somehow connected. In my opinion (many years in education, many years in business), they are not.
Detour has a silver lining
I have lived by Evergreen Lake all my life, and I must say the current road closure brings back wonderful memories of Evergreen circa 1960 — an idyllic mountain lake environment.
How wonderful it would be for lake visitors if the detour behind the lake could be made permanent.
Dick Ruble, Evergreen
Downtown Evergreen is a great place
It should be legal to use rain barrels
As a water conservationist and home gardener, I support the practice of capturing rainwater from my roof for use around our home, returning it to its natural sources in the ground. When I moved to Colorado a few years back, I was surprised and dismayed that the state does not allow rain barrels — something my home state of Texas proudly encouraged.

Loved that it landed on the biology teacher's spoon.
Thanks, S.P.! I wanted to stick to the details in the images.
You pulled everything together nicely! And you stuck to the images very well! Great job! :)
Thanks, Ashley!
Oooo... Nice work! Way to connect everything! Very fun :D
Thanks, Morgan!
Wow, sucks to be that science teacher. I liked your use of the prompts, using all of them like that was infinitely harder than what I did, I don't think I could have pulled it off as well.
Kevin (#19)
Thanks, Kevin! It was also challenging for me to cram all that info into five sentences. =)
That was certainly an unexpected last line!
Thanks, Sarah!
lol loved the humour - and interesting take on the prompts
Thanks, Sue!
I really like how you used all the prompts. Great job!
By the end, I'd forgotten it was only five sentences. So much packed in! I would like to know more of the story, it was done with a light touch despite the heavy subject matter. Fun to read.
Thanks, Laurie!
It was definitely a challenge to pack all the info into 5 sentences, Nick. I'm glad you thought it was fun to read.
I think your last sentence took half the word count. Very original. ; )
Melissa Maygrove #14
Thanks, Melissa!
Yours is the first 5 sentence story I've seen. Really interesting the way you wove it into such a neat package. Not counting the biology teacher bursting, of course; he was a mess. Morbid joke.
Also cool how the names are similar to Adam and Eve. Good job!
Thanks, Sher! You are the first person to comment on the names being similar to Adam and Eve- that was what I'd intended, and I'm glad someone noticed!!
Aloha Cynthia,
You don't have to believe me, but I was going through a bunch of blogs today, and I saw yours and I was like "oh, *that's* a cool name for a blog :)
Thanks for your comments. I'm a new follower, too :)
Great take on the prompts! Quite challenging to put it all in 5 sentences too, but you had a complete picture made out with your words:)
Mark, you're welcome! Thanks for the follow!
Honey, thanks for checking out my story!
Nice imagery! I enjoyed this. :)
Thanks, Cortney!
Great job packing all that story into only 5 sentences! Well done!
Thanks, C.M.!
Cynthia, you've been tagged on my blog :)
Nice one, Cynthia! Fitting the way you described their kissing. :)
Thanks, David!
Gorgeous and love that you utilized all the imagery in it. You have my vote! And always glad to meet a fellow baked good lover. :-) I am always happy to send recipes your way. Good luck this round!
Nice story!!
Jennifer, thanks for the vote!
Traci, thanks!
This is awesome. I LOVE that the meteorite landed on the spoon. Crazy cool.
I was too late to enter my story, but it is here, if you'd care to take a peek?

People's compelling stories. How one copes with chronic pain. These are issues that caused 17-year Chestnut Hill resident and long-time Drexel University professor, Sarah Whitman, M.D., to follow a career path of psychiatry instead of general medicine, when she first experienced the mind-based discipline during her rotations at medical school. Something about the more personal nature of the field and being able to spend more time with people appealed to her.
She will apply techniques she has refined and practiced for over 20 years as a clinical psychiatrist and university professor to managing an athlete's state of mind in "Sports Psychology Skills for Competitive and Casual Athletes" at Mt. Airy Learning Tree. The two-session class runs the second and third Saturdays in October, from 10 a.m. to noon, in Hagan Hall at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at 7301 Germantown Ave.
The skills she teaches are basic: individualizing goals, how to raise your capacity to focus, manage anxiety and use imagery and positive thinking.
Philadelphia Phillies all-star shortstop and three-time Gold Glove winner Jimmy Rollins has fielded thousands of ground balls in his lifetime outside of the game at practice. He has repeated the steps of the fundamentals and the act of fielding a ground ball, ushering the ball safely into his glove so many times it has become muscle memory.
Repetition ultimately provided the foundation for Rollins' skill set to expand, as practice will do for almost any player in any sport at any level. Now apply this concept of muscle memory to the brain, and you have the foundations of sports psychology.
Dr. Whitman, who requested that her age not be mentioned, has worked with teams from high school to professional levels and teaches athletes and students to take "psychological batting practice" as well as actual batting practice. In other words, imagine yourself directing the bat to connect with the ball for a hard-hit line drive up the middle.
Or imagine yourself thrashing a serve just within the corner of the lines on a tennis court or a blazing, veering, graceful skiing descent down an alpine slope. "The desired outcome is more likely if you've rehearsed it in your mind a lot," said Dr. Whitman during a recent interview. "Our brains work very well with pictures."
It seems simple enough, but according to Whitman, stressing the importance of skills like taking a few deep breaths to calm down and imagining positive outcomes aren't really taught by coaches, especially at the levels at which the majority of athletes compete. Little Leaguers aren't learning how a few deep breaths might help their swing, or how those breaths might help the pitcher manage his anxiety about the slugger six-inches taller than he coming up to the plate. But the power of mental exercises can be as important to the development of an athlete, and the casual athletic experience, like running or Pilates, as the development of physical skills.
One technique Dr. Whitman uses to help improve athletes' focus is "mindfulness meditation." She instructs students/athletes to eat a piece of chocolate and tells them to focus completely on the experience of eating the chocolate. How does it smell? How does it taste? What associations does it trigger in the mind? This sort of exercise commands focus.
She compares the value of these exercises to weight-lifting. If you do it once, you may a feel a little stronger but the results are short-lived. But doing it three times a week yields longer-lasting results. The same is true of the focus exercises. The more you practice these two-to-three minute sessions, the more effective they become. Then, she instructs students/athletes to apply the technique to their sport "the next time they need to be razor focused."
Raised in North Jersey, Dr. Whitman earned her bachelor's in biology from Washington University in St. Louis in 1983. She then graduated from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry ('87) in upstate New York, followed by a four-year psychiatric residency at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, where she received a Sandoz Award for professional activities.
For the first decade of her career Dr. Whitman worked in outpatient psychiatry and teaching young doctors at Hahnemann and Drexel, where she is still a clinical assistant professor. Then she focused on how to treat chronic pain, biologically and psychologically.
At present, Dr. Whitman runs a private psychiatry practice in Chestnut Hill, where she lives with her husband, Dave, and their daughter. She is also an educational consultant and has worked in the Counseling and Psychological Services Center at Rowan University, since 2005.

Guardian Tries CwF+RtB, While Experimenting With Hack Day Event
from the cool-experiments dept
The Guardian's offering is that you pay £25 per year and you get a variety of scarcities outside of the content of the paper (which remains free). Those scarcities include things like newsroom visits and events involving journalists and editors (i.e., the scarcity of "access") and other offers as well -- such as tickets to various cultural events. Unlike the various paywall efforts out there, none of this is about locking up infinitely copyable content, but about using that content to make scarcities, like access, more valuable and giving people a real reason to buy. It'll be interesting to see how well it goes. I like the basic idea of it, though I think they could do some more to segment their audiences.
That's not all The Guardian is doing. At the same time it announced this Guardian Extra program, it also held a "hack day", where the Guardian asked various media partners to ask for certain tools or features, and folks would try to create them using the Guardian's open platform. The results (for a quick two day hack event) look pretty impressive. It's pretty cool to see these sorts of experiments going on in news organizations, rather than the typical "woe is us" complaining.
If you'd like to talk about these ideas and many others (as well as hopefully come up with some new ideas for what news organizations, both new and old, can do going forward), I hope you'll consider attending our Techdirt Saves* Journalism event. Sign up for here, if you haven't already:

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Erica Little's game-high eight goals, including the game-winner, helped power MIT to a 13-11 overtime victory over Mount Holyoke College in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) women's lacrosse game on Saturday. The last time an Engineers' game went into extra sessions was in 2005, which was a triple-overtime affair that the Cardinal and Gray won at Mount Holyoke.
Casey Flynn racked up one goal and three assists, becoming MIT's all-time career assist leader. During the past week, she eclipsed the standards for career goals and points. Stephanie Leger compiled four caused turnovers, three groundballs, two draw controls, and a goal as Katie Kauffman totaled two groundballs, two draw controls, and a goal. Molly McShane tacked on three groundballs and a goal while Laura Wacker contributed one goal. Alex Wright notched three draw controls and two groundballs as Allison Hamilos collected 14 saves for the Engineers (8-4, 4-1 NEWMAC).
Perry Markell tallied five goals, five draw controls, and three groundballs for the Lyons (7-5, 2-3 NEWMAC). Peggy Wefald posted three goals, four draw controls, and two groundballs as Hilary Bombard posted two goals and an assist. Taylor Hedges led the way with five groundballs while Kristen Cody chipped in three groundballs and a goal. Georgia Markell bolstered Mount Holyoke's advantage in draw controls with three of her own. Jeanmarie Petersen and Jessica Brezicha both registered four saves while playing 32 and 34 minutes, respectively.
Both sides traded goals until Little tallied three in a row to put MIT up, 6-4, late in the first half. Wefald ended her squad's 10-minute scoring drought and cut its deficit in half at the 6:08 mark. Exactly two minutes later Flynn found Kauffman which was followed by Wacker connecting on a pass by Little to give the Engineers an 8-5 lead at the intermission.
Flynn earned assists on markers by McShane and Little as MIT opened up a 10-5 advantage with 26:25 on the clock. Mount Holyoke responded with five unanswered goals during the next 20 minutes. Perry Markell posted two goals around a blast by Cody as Bombard scored twice, including the equalizer. Little put the Engineers in front, 11-10, however Perry Markell quickly knotted the contest with 4:11 remaining. The Lyons maintained the pressure, but Hamilos withstood the attack as she turned away four shots, three of which during the final 41 seconds.
Perry Markell had the first scoring attempt of the extra session but her shot hit the post. MIT's Meghan Wright scooped up the groundball and it eventually led to Little's eighth goal of the contest with 4:09 left to play. After changing ends, Flynn buried a free-position shot with two minutes to go. Clara Raugei almost trimmed the Engineers' lead a minute later, but Hamilos came up with another key stop. Mount Holyoke retained possession however a miscue led to a groundball by MIT's Lauren Rodda with 42 seconds left. The Engineers held the ball before turning it over during the waning seconds.
Both squads continue conference action on Tuesday, April 20. MIT will travel to Babson College while Mount Holyoke will host Smith College.

Please Help Us Figure Out How Much The Public Has 'Lost' Due To Overprotective Anti-Copy Laws
from the using-their-methodology dept
It should be obvious why this is ridiculous. It's asking the most biased party, who would benefit the most from government protectionism in their favor, to give totally self-reported details of the "harm" that happens without increased government protectionism, with no attempt to reality-check those results.
One of our critics in the comments responded with a fallacy, suggesting that somehow we should not be allowed to criticize the clearly specious methodology here, without offering an alternative study and results of our own. Of course, to point out that a study's methodology is wrong does not mean that you need to supply your own numbers. And, of course, we regularly point to plenty of good studies on these kinds of subjects as well.
However, an anonymous commenter made the absolutely brilliant suggestion that we should create our own study, using their methodology to calculate how much the public loses each year due to overprotective anti-copy laws. And, so we are. Just as the ITC asked those who had most thought about their "losses" from infringement, I think it's fair to suggest that the readership here includes plenty of people who have thought deeply about the public's losses from overprotection. Thus, I'm hoping we can put together a similar corpus of data from which we can extrapolate a similar number about the public's losses. You can input your own estimate of your losses here:
Of course, to make this work, we really would like to get as much data as possible (and we really do want you to try to answer the question as honestly as you can -- i.e., don't just make up some crazy large number, but think about it). However, please also spread this post by letting other communities of folks who likely have thought about these issues know about it, so that we can really collect enough data to make this meaningful (in as much as you can make a totally ridiculous and bogus methodology meaningful).

Haru is 13 and Niko is 10. The age difference isn't that BIG. If you compare it to Subaru and his loli basketball team which he is around 16 and the girls are 12. Still age gap isn't that big.
I also like Niko but ash roller girl ( still no one yet reveals her true name ) looks more fitting for Haru

Utai and Fuuko.
Fuuko caught Haru in the act XD
Fuuko would show up in the anime but Utai would probably wait for 2nd season because she first shows up in vol 06.
Cosmic what side story do you mean? the one you read that makes you like FuukoxHaru? is it the SS in vol 10?

Ash Roller = Kusakabe Rin
Rin is a special case as she is not the one controlling Ash Roller. It is her brother's AI that's controlling. She is only acting as a host and a observer whenever she burst links. This is one of the reason both the word he/she can be used on Ash Roller/Rin, depending on what they did in RL/BB.
If we ever go ship HaruXRin, good luck to Haru. Right after Rin confesses and duels Haru, Ash Roller tries to kill Haru shouting "How dare you touch my sister". And this is the Ash Roller that highly respects Silver Crow. Now imagine if it really goes HaruXRin, he will have to convince Ash Roller to let them go in peace. After that when her brother wakes up from his coma, Haru has to introduce himself to her brother, when her brother does not know anything about him(Silver Crow) and has to depend on first impression(not likely going to be good).
It's going to be the hardest route for him as compared to KYH or Fuuko or Nico(Cherry Rook already moves away and BB uninstalled, unless he comes back as a ghost(V10 reference))

Anyway since I'm lazy to recheck everything, is the specific reason for the rule of installing Brain Burst "User must have the collar equipped since birth" explained? Can't remember any reason why an adult who bought a collar later on cannot install it.

it's been explained that there are 2 rules to follow on installing brain burst. High mental aptitude or reflex and the other is the neuro linker must be equipped already since birth. So the oldest is only 15 years old because that is the first launch of neuro linker.

she's using it since she was a baby? then isn't that the same as since birth? because it's only been told that you need to wear it already in your infant stage. Since birth doesn't really mean that you wear it already after just getting birth right?

I think the problem with the rule "wear it since birth" might be refer to the brain and nerve system adapted to the use and function of Neuro Linker since they grow up to adapt with the linker.
However, try to understand the rule is not a good idea since Reki sensei is not really good with rule and you can see alot of plot hole in his novel. Full dive is a prime example,can you really put your body there and go to the virtual world, some my try to do some funny thing to you , how about virus, OS bug, system crash
In volume 1 he said the only way to earn burst point is to fight other while in vol 2 we learned there is another way and KYH know about it.
THink about unlimited burst, there are roughly 1000 player in BB, few of them reach lev 4 to go to the unlimited burst field, now how can the meet each other in a world that 1000 times faster than the outside, minutes become days, just imagine you are late for about half an hour, it is one and a half year in there. And what with those romantic couple, especially purple and 1st red king, they are only 10 -11 years old at that time

..... I just realized I never know what Kuroyukihime's real names are.
I think it'd be totally lame and uninspired if it turns out that she was someone related to the casts in SAO, just because the author decided to keep her real name unknown to us.
I mean, it's fucking lame. We know almost anyone's real name but we don't know KYH's real name yet. Something we should have discovered since vol. 1, and why did they all call her Kuroyukihime in the first place?

What if KYH is the child of Kirito and Asuna? Well, we'd have known already if we know what her real name is, but the author just never gives her one until he decides it's about time we add a lame twist here that should be too predictable if he were to add the name from the beginning.
We're not talking about the character whose identity is a secret here! She's just a student in the school, not a spy from another country or the mafia's daughter (better use fake name)!

Yeah we don't know the real name of KYH, and as far as Ln go, even most of people in AW doesn't know. If I remember correctly though, she did told Haruyuki at the end of V1. (hidden from readers and others)

As much as I wish that Cherry Rook still remembers Nico since they are from the same orphanage after all, looking at how much memory Dusk Taker lost(totally has no impression of Haruyuki), the chance isn't too good. Only sure way that he can remember her is if he knows her before he started to play Brain Burst. Though I'm sure Nico asked him out to play some classic games before he moved away.
As of V6, 1 year has passed. So now the max age of Burst Linkers is 16 as compared to V1's 15

Horse racing on the beach in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Cadiz
Punta Umbría beach. Huelva
It means sunshine and blue skies. Long beaches of fine blond sand bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. It means traditional cuisine. Culture, fiestas, pilgrimages, protected nature areas, water sports, golf… This is the Costa de la Luz, and it stretches along the coastlines of Cadiz and Huelva in southern Andalusia.
Combine its 3000 hours of sunshine a year and its role as home to the famous pilgrimage of El Rocío (between May and June) and the riotous Cadiz carnival (in February). Think that the southern part is a paradise for windsurfing and that you'll be able to see the Doñana National Park, declared a part of our world heritage by the UNESCO. And note that the highlights of its gastronomy include Iberian cured ham, typical fried fresh fish, its shellfish and its wines. It's definitely something not to be missed. In Cadiz Its wide variety of beaches include everything from practically unspoilt paradises frequented by windsurfers around the areas of Conil, Barbate and Tarifa, to family beaches and beaches near the city in places like Cadiz and Chiclana. The beach of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, opposite the Doñana National Park, is the venue in August for the traditional horse races along the beach, declared a festivity of international tourist interest. In Huelva Here you'll find more than 120 kilometres of beach where you can take some spectacular photographs of the Andalusian coastline and its broad stretches of sand dunes and pine forests reaching down to the seashore. Some of the best-known beaches are those of Mazagón (in Palos de la Frontera), Matalascañas (in Almonte, and extending into the Doñana National Park) and the protected area of El Rompido and its undeveloped beach (in Cartaya), among many others.

This screwdriver is so cool, it's got the flashlight on one end and the screwdriver on the other. I use it all the time. By the way it comes with a rechargeable battery. Which is a huge PLUS for me. I love that it is ready to go, when I need it. The battery lasts a long time too. I have only charged it twice in a month.
This thing is great. It's lightweight. It fits comfortably in your hand. And it's kind of cute.
Oh and by the way, if you read my post a few weeks ago, you know that I am house hunting. Well, guess what came in handy when my husband needed to see what was under a porch? *giggles*
The only con that I have with it, is I want it for the house and hubby wants it for the truck.
He isn't getting mine!!!!!!
My solution is, father's day is coming, so it is a no brainer what he is getting this year.

Bomber Still Hospitalized, Was Shot in Throat [VIDEO]
A U.S. senator says the hospitalized suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing was shot in the throat, raising questions about his ability to speak to investigators.
Senate Intelligence Committee member Sen. Dan Coats of Indiana told ABC's "This Week" that there are questions over whether Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will be able to talk again.
Coats said that doesn't mean the 19-year-old can't communicate, but he's "in a condition where we can't get any information from him at all."
Earlier today, Boston's police commissioner said the lone surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing was in serious condition and authorities have not been able to try to interrogate him.
Davis says it's his belief that 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his 26-year-old brother Tamerlan "were going to attack other individuals" — and Davis says that's based on the evidence at the scene and the firepower that the brothers had.
Fox News reports that Tsarnaev has suffered injuries to his neck and throat leaving him unable to speak.
Tamerlan died in the gunbattle with police in Watertown.
Davis says "this was as dangerous as it gets in urban policing."
Video shows bomb suspect dodging blast
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick says surveillance video from the Boston Marathon attack shows the suspect putting his backpack down and moving away in time to avoid being injured by the blast of the bomb inside it.
Speaking Sunday on NBC, Patrick says the video clearly puts 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev at the scene of the attack. Tsarnaev is in serious condition at a Boston hospital after his capture Friday.
Patrick says the video is "pretty clear about his involvement and pretty chilling, frankly."
He says he hasn't viewed all the surveillance tapes but has been briefed by law enforcement about them.
Tsarnaev's older brother, Tamerlan, is also considered a suspect. He died in a gunbattle with police earlier Friday.
Investigators have determined the bombs were fashioned from pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and ball bearings.
Boston mayor: Bombing suspects acted alone
Boston Mayor Tom Menino says information he has indicates that the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing acted alone.
Menino tells ABC's "This Week" that he agreed with the decision to lock down Boston all day Friday, based on information officials had at the time.
He tells ABC's 'This Week" that a pipe bomb was found at another location and that another person was taken into custody. The mayor did not elaborate.
Lawmaker: Enough evidence to convict bomb suspect
The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee believes there's enough evidence against the suspected Boston marathon bomber to convict him.
Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan tells NBC's "Meet the Press" that he's not worried that the government has decided against reading the suspect his Miranda rights. He says FBI agents need to know whether there are other bombs more than they need to use in court what the suspect might tell them.
Rogers, a former FBI agent, says there is so much evidence against the suspect that a conviction should be easy.
Photo shows slain, injured Mass. officers together
A vigil has been held in Massachusetts for an MIT police officer authorities say was shot and killed by the alleged Boston Marathon bombers.
Hundreds turned out Saturday night in Wilmington to honor 26-year-old Sean Collier, who grew up in the town about 15 miles north of Boston.
Authorities say Collier was shot in his cruiser Thursday night on the MIT campus in Cambridge. He lived in Somerville and was preparing to become a police officer in that city.
The Boston transit agency on Sunday released a photo of Collier with Richard Donohue, the 33-year-old transit police officer who remains hospitalized after authorities said was seriously wounded in a gun battle with the bombing suspects.
The photo was from a 2010 graduation ceremony at the Municipal Police Officers' Academy.

Porcello, Tigers display holiday spirit year-round
When Porcello struggled the next season, he accepted his midseason demotion to Triple-A Toledo and answered the questions about his dreaded sophomore slump, not once complaining. Nor did he complain about being left out of the postseason rotation last month.
Porcello had to know as soon as Torii Hunter became a Tiger that his No. 48 would naturally be heading Hunter's way. He managed to turn it into a positive, and hopefully improve some lives in his storm-damaged home state of New Jersey.
It wasn't orchestrated, this number exchange. The way Hunter described it last week, it was more of a reaction once it became clear Hunter was heading to Detroit.
"I met him like four years ago, five years ago," Hunter said last week. "We had good conversations. I called Rick Porcello, and I told him that I wanted to -- you know, veteran guys usually give a nice dollar amount for a number. So I offered him a nice dollar amount. And he said, 'No.' I'm like, 'What's wrong with him?'
"Rick Porcello ... you know what, he's from New Jersey, and Hurricane Sandy came and destroyed some parts of New Jersey, and he knows some people that were affected by it. He said, 'The money that you offered me, could you donate it to this organization for Hurricane Sandy [relief]?'"
The idea caught Hunter off-guard. Even when he agreed to it, he offered to give Porcello a gift in return.
"That's the kind of guy Rick Porcello is," Hunter said. "And he really gave me No. 48. I'm like, 'Are you sure you don't want anything? You're OK?' He's like, 'Yes, I'm straight.'"
Porcello swapped 48 for 21, the number he wore when he was a high school star at Seton Hall Prep in West Orange, N.J. It was a fitting switch for a gesture that hits so close to home.
Porcello is Jersey-born and raised. When Mike Trout talked on MLB Network last week about the young baseball talent coming out of New Jersey and impacting a sport dominated so much by players from the Sun Belt, Trout mentioned Porcello.
He could've moved someplace warm for the offseasons a few years ago, after the Tigers signed him to one of the most lucrative contracts for a player drafted out of high school, but he chose to stay. He makes his home near Chester Township in the central part of the state.
Porcello's home was spared the most serious damage from Sandy, he told the New York Daily News. Others weren't so lucky, including areas he knows quite well. No sooner had he arrived home after the World Series, his team swept in four games, than he saw the kind of real-life struggles that make baseball seem trivial.
Porcello has stepped up to help storm victims in the past. When Hurricane Irene ravaged parts of Vermont, ESPN's Buster Olney wrote this week, Porcello was the first Major League player to donate to a relief fund to help out farmers who had lost everything. Porcello reportedly is familiar with Vermont through family vacations.
Sandy, however, hit home.
"Being from New Jersey, I've been looking at opportunities to help," Porcello told the Daily News. "I've seen the impact the storm had, the devastation it caused. I wanted to try to make some difference and when Torii made his offer, this was definitely one way. We're putting something together for the relief efforts and I'm going to be giving back as well."
Though Porcello has rarely been visible in giving back to causes, he's deeply involved in causes he cares about. He donated his time and effort this summer to raise money for Team Joseph, a nonprofit organization focused on funding research to fight Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Porcello is also active with the Detroit Tigers Foundation, which awarded more than $100,000 in grants to local organizations to help provide opportunities for kids to play baseball and softball, among other causes. The foundation also donated than 50,000 game tickets to deserving charitable organizations over the course of the season, partnered with Think Detroit PAL to host a tee-ball league for 450 kids in Detroit, and teamed up with the Youth Development Commission to host the Detroit Tigers Hometown Championship for over 600 area tee-ball, baseball and softball players.
Also teaming up with the Detroit Tigers Foundation was American League MVP Miguel Cabrera, whose Keeping Kids in the Game event raised more than $200,000 to support children's health and youth baseball programs. Cabrera also recently established his own foundation with his wife, Rosangel, to provide opportunities and kids and their families to thrive through baseball.
Cabrera was one of several Tigers players who took part in the Fantasy Camp for Kids, a one-day clinic giving 50 youngsters with special needs the chance to improve their baseball skills alongside Major League role models. Afterward, Cabrera made a donation to the Miracle League of Michigan for registration scholarships and field improvements.
Cabrera's participation in the Autographs for a Cause program, signing fan mail in exchange for donations to his foundation which he matches, led to $11,200 to donations to charities supporting children.
Tigers organization members will be active this holiday season to help brighten the time for the needy. Forty members of the front office volunteered time to package 60,513 pounds of food to be distributed to local agencies supporting children and families in need. In addition, the Tigers and SportService will treat foster care kids and their families to a holiday feast in the Tiger Club at Comerica Park as well as gifts.
