Cubs vs. Granderson's Mets: who do we cheer for?
As the Chicago Cubs face the New York Mets – and UIC grad Curtis Granderson – in the NLCS this week, who will the UIC community root for?
"I think that depends person to person," said John Flood, assistant coach of the UIC baseball team. "If you're a Cubs fan like myself, you want to see them win. With that being said, we want Curtis to do extremely well."
The Mets won the first two games of the championship series over the weekend in New York. The teams compete at Wrigley Field Tuesday through Thursday and would return to New York for two more games next weekend if needed. The team that wins four games advances to the World Series.
The question of which team to root for is especially tough for head baseball coach Mike Dee, who coached Granderson at UIC.
"I certainly am happy that they are playing against each other," he said. "I'm going to be happy whoever wins and I'm going to be disappointed no matter who loses."
UIC baseball player Charlie Cerny is rooting for the Mets and Granderson, a 2003 business graduate who donated $5 million to UIC to build Curtis Granderson Stadium. The stadium, which opened in April 2014, is home to Flames baseball, as well as Chicago youth sports organizations.
"I want the Cubs to get swept in four, and I want Granderson to hit a home run every game," said Cerny, a freshman in business and right-handed pitcher for the Flames. "I've always been a fan of Granderson and watched him play growing up, and not just because I go to UIC. Playing at his stadium is unreal."
Cerny, who's from Bloomington, is a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, the team the Cubs beat to advance to the NLCS.
"I was devastated when we lost," he said. "If the Cubs win the World Series, I would be really upset. If Granderson wins, I will be happy, but not as happy as if the Cardinals won."
UIC baseball player David Cronin is cheering for the home team.
"I've been a diehard Cubs fan since I was a child," said Cronin, a junior in criminal justice and infielder for the Flames. "It's awesome that Curtis is going to be playing the Cubs and at Wrigley, but my heart is with the Cubs."
He's hoping the predictions made "Back to the Future Part II" come true: the Cubs win the 2015 World Series. The Cubs won their last World Series in 1908 at the West Side Grounds, where the UIC College of Medicine stands today.
"I wouldn't even know how to express myself if they win – it would be incredible, " said Cronin, who's from Orland Park. "It's weird to think that the Cubs are good now and the fact that I actually might be able to witness it would be pretty incredible."
Granderson said he's excited to return to his hometown for the series.
"Anytime I get to go back home and play against any one of the Chicago teams it's obviously a great experience," he told the Chicago Tribune. "It's obviously the biggest stage I have a chance to go on. A lot of fans and friends. Cubs fans, I have a lot of 'em, but I also have Mets fans, so it's going to be a lot of fun."

What's the most important item on this list (or not on the list) that I should focus on?
Ok, to start this discussion i am gonna list all the ideas from the June-poll and the trello-board, so you all can decide which ones you think Ryan should focus one first.
8) crazy idea by jurgen: crazy idea; I'm not even sure the community would like it, maybe it's even too complicated but I know I would love it and it would also add a completely new "competion". You need at least 8 people to play, 4 or 5 guessers and 3 or 4 drawers. The idea: different people draw the same word at the same time. After the word is guessed, the winning guesser is of course identified and gets points for guessing correctly. The timer for drawing keeps running so every drawer can finish their sketch. All the guessers can vote for the most clever or best sketch and the person who guessed correctly first can also award extra points to one drawer. He is free to pick the best drawing in his opinion or he can also chose to reward the drawer that made him guess correctly the quickest.
11) Let new players read the page of rules once, as part of the list they have to get "checked"
- That way none of them can excuse himself easily with "Oh, i didn`t know that was not allowed what i did there!"
12) A prominent placed link to the existing facebookgroup of Xsketch or a newly founded Fanpage which does not exist yet for advertising the game better.
- for both Apple and Android devices. Also good for recruiting new players.
18) Players who have not confirmed their email should not be allowed to play at the tables.
19) Prevent that player names that got banned for being inappropriate do not get to be tablenames in the next month.
20) Give Mods the option to reset points of cheaters and /or to reset frozen tables.
21) The ability to update our email address for login, email verification to play. or something like that.
21) Change of display of the medals.
There are a lot of players with many medals, but their best medals are not displayed at the table because they are last in the row.
Maybe give us a tick box in the profile settings where we can choose which of our medals we want to display.
22) Would be nice if vulgar language could be blocked. Both the during game play and for the User Names.
23) Color fill, To cover the entire page with the first color.
24) remove the bug that makes the table crash when someone guesses right and stands up in the same turn.
26) I wonder why some new players have -post in forum as a default? Maybe make it so that everyone who verified his emailadress can also post in the forum.
It is quite annoying to have to set it manually to +post for so many players.
27) a little more time to draw more difficult words would be really helpful.
28) The ability, perhaps under the account settings link, for a sketcher to disable clues during their draws.
If you like one of these, please tell!
Also please feel free to add more ideas!
5. Rating words (Easy, Medium, Hard).
More presence from Ryan to make newcomers feel at home and perhaps keep a few of them coming.
When players are banned, they can still reappear in the chat box and spam it just by showing up/refreshing. So it will say "Playername is here" over and over again in the chat box. Maybe have a way so that this spamming while banned can't occur. Could be a screen for banned players, like at the end of the month when xsketch times out, so that they can't get into sketch.
Fixing of all known bugs, so the "wrong word bug", the "table crashes when someone geusses right and stands up in same turn bug", the "timer does not work when someone stands up and sits in again in same turn which leads to endless drawing time bug", and the "not whole and belated drawing history bug" and the "-post in forum for new players bug".
As an Advisor i also wish for some stuff that prevents trolling: Joes Idea of an extra screen for banned people; no avatar until veryfied account; Give Mods the option to reset points of cheaters and /or to reset frozen tables.
I agree with Barbie that the most important task for July should be the fixing of the bugs. It would make the game more enjoyable if the table didn't keep Crashing.
I really like the eraser idea, rainbow pen would also be a very fun idea!
another bug that needs a fix: in the stats the "good sketches percent" is always 100%, so it does not work right anymore. Since December 2013.

These Hebrew and Greek forms are used of the stalks of wheat, etc., left knee-high in the field by the reapers. tebhen (Job 21:18), is a mixture of chopped straw and chaff produced in threshing, which is winnowed out by the fan (compare Jeremiah 23:28; Isaiah 5:24; Matthew 3:12). When tebhen was withheld from them the Israelites had to utilize qash for the manufacture of their bricks (Exodus 5:12).

NOAA: 76 Large Whale US Entanglements in 2017
December 6, 2018, 11:53 AM HST
The National Marine Fisheries Service today issued its National Report on Large Whale Entanglements Confirmed in the United States in 2017.
Response team approaches entangled humpback whale to determine how to cut it free. C. King NOAA MMHSRP (permit # 18786-02) January 2018.
NMFS confirmed 76 cases of large whale entanglements in fishing gear or marine debris in US waters last year, primarily affecting humpback whales, gray whales, minke whales, endangered blue whales and critically endangered North Atlantic right whales.
Researchers say that documenting large whale entanglements is important for the conservation of these species because it allows researchers and resource managers to see changes over time, helps identify causes of entanglement and informs current and future management and conservation efforts.
"Entanglements can injure or kill large whales and can inhibit the recovery of endangered or threatened whale populations," said Kris Sarri, President and CEO of the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation. "The National Marine Fisheries Service's report documenting and tracking whale entanglements provides us with important information to identify and address the causes of whale entanglements and improve disentanglement prevention and whale rescue efforts."
Confirmed large whale entanglement reports occurred off of 13 states along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, more than half occurred in California and Massachusetts waters.
Of the five species mentioned in the report, all of them spend time in national marine sanctuaries throughout the year. The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation is dedicated to supporting whale rescue, research and conservation across America's National Marine Sanctuary System, and prevention of future entanglements by addressing causes at their source.
A strong majority of last year's entanglements were caused by fishing gear. It is difficult to identify the point of origin of entanglement for migratory marine species like large whales that transcend state or national boundaries. On-the-water conservation work happening in national marine sanctuaries can help find cooperative solutions to reduce entanglement and innovative ways to disentangle whales when the need arises.
Highly skilled experts and trained response teams conduct large whale entanglement and response efforts under permits granted by NMFS. Members of the public should never attempt to closely approach or disentangle marine mammals they think are in distress.
To report entangled whales, the public in Hawaiʻi should call the 24/7 regional entanglement hotline at (888) 256-9840.
The full National Report On Large Whale Entanglements Confirmed In The United States In 2017 is available online.

Our longtime partners at Capital for Kids hosted their annual Italian Dinner Night for our Emergency Youth Shelter clients on Thursday, June 5 . The event gives our kids a chance to sample foods they may have never tried before, and to pick up some useful cooking tips along the way. In addition to cooking, our kids also got to make their own aprons! Volunteers from the organization have hosted the event since 2011 and our kids absolutely love it! Capital for Kids also raises vitally needed funding to help cover the costs of the Emergency Youth Shelter. We're so thankful for their continued support!


I got to thinking last night about blogging and how long I've actually been doing it. This blog is only about 3 1/2 years old (it used to be called Hope Springs Eternal and I started it after the miscarriage I had in December of 2007), but I've been writing in an online journal – a weblog – for over ten years now.
I began blogging in March of 2001, at the tender age of 17. My platform was not Blogger nor WordPress, but LiveJournal. After Nellie went to bed last night, I started browsing through my old entries as I do every now and again. I chose this month in 2003; eight years ago. I was nineteen years old, and had just landed a job at the Chili's that was slated to open downtown. I was so excited and proud of myself. My personality wasn't too much different then than it is now; I still had a very random sense of humor. I treated my LiveJournal much like many people treat Facebook now: I dumped whatever was on my mind at the time into my journal.
Little did I know that "this one friend of mine, Josh" would one day be my husband and the father of my child.
I thought about all of the people I've met on the internet in the past ten years. I began thinking about the people I've met on the internet even beyond that. Connecting with people through the web has been a part of my life and of who I am since I was twelve years old. To some, that may seem kind of pathetic and even sad but I've never viewed it that way. When my home life was intolerable and depressing, the internet was my escape. After I moved out and lived with my boyfriend and found that life wasn't what I thought it would be, LiveJournal was my therapy. Writing was cathartic. I've made lasting friendships via the internet; people I still keep in touch with but whom I've never met face to face. I'm happy on the internet, connecting with people all around the world. I think about people in particular who stand out in my mind, some of whom I only spoke to once or twice but for whatever reason left a lasting impression on me.
I wonder where those people are now, what their lives are like. If they're even still alive (you never know). I think about the people I interact with on a daily basis via my blog, Twitter, and Facebook and wonder if we will still be speaking in ten more years or if they, too, will fade into the cast of characters that have come and gone during my days on the internet.
Part of me feels like I need to get back in touch with that nineteen year old girl with so much on her mind. I need to channel her sometimes, and just write. Write about what's happening in my life. What I'm feeling. What I'm doing. I've gotten away from that, and that's the whole reason I started a blog in the first place. Not to make money, or to get sponsorships, or to have people drooling and clapping over my words like cracked out fangirls. I started this blog to do what I've been doing for years and years, and that's express myself and connect with people that I would never, ever be able to connect with if it wasn't for the internet. I'm not saying that sponsored posts aren't nice (they are, and I have one coming up Monday) but they're not the reason I started blogging.
If you made it this far through this slightly rambly post, *internet cookie*. Thank you for reading, for continuing to come back even when I have nothing to say. Thank you for caring about my little space of the internet.

This Is How You Get White People To Apologize For Slavery
It's a lot easier than you'd think.
Logan Rhoades
In honor of Black History Month, one courageous man is walking into classrooms, collecting apologies for slavery.
View this vine on Vine
vine.co
Using a simple format — "When I say 'slavery,' you say 'sorry'" — he's had some surprising success.
Responding each time with, "It's OK, guys."
Or even a simple, "Thanks."
The back-and-forth chant was actually first used in an SNL sketch called "28 Reasons," where Keenan, Jay, and Sasheer list 28 reasons to hug a black guy.
Reason 1: We deserve a chance
Reasons 2-28: Slavery
But with the sketch airing over a year ago, it's safe to assume that these Vines have popularized the chant, even encouraging others to try it out.
And now we're all one step closer to racial harmony.

Pens ink blueliner Dumoulin to two-year, $1.6M extension
By Mike HalfordJul 9, 2015, 2:23 PM EDT
Pittsburgh locked up RFA defenseman Brian Dumoulin on Thursday, signing the 23-year-old to a two-year, $1.6 million extension.
Dumoulin, acquired in the Jordan-Staal-to-Carolina trade three years ago, will carry an average annual cap hit of $800,000 with the new deal.
A former standout at Boston College, Dumoulin was taken 51st overall by the Hurricanes in '09 and has appeared in 14 games with Pittsburgh over the last two seasons. He did take a leap forward late last year, however, suiting up for all five games of the Penguins' opening-round playoff loss to the Rangers, in which he averaged 14:06 TOI per game.
Based on current roster projections, he'll be battling for a spot in Pittsburgh's top six next year with the likes of Derrick Pouliot and Tim Erixon.

SAILING MLJET ISLAND - CROATIA - Croatia Travel Co.
Simply put, Mljet Island is 100 square kilometres of unspoiled dreamy gorgeousness. It is the southernmost island of the South Dalmatian chain of islands and a favourite stop for many who sail this part of the Adriatic. Despite its lack of service facilities (it has no marina and only one hotel), or perhaps because of it, Mljet has a magic and timeless quality. Swimming in verdant bays and looking over inland salt-lakes will bring contentment, especially if you're on your way back from a busy place such as Hvar or Dubrovnik, which is just 25 kilometres away.
The entire north-west part of the island has been a designated National Park since 1960 and is densely forested, as is the most of the island – deemed to be the greenest in the Adriatic. Mljet's two distinctive salt lakes, Veliko and Malo jezero are within the reserve and are well worth the trip and a climb, for this is the screen-saver view that will get you through the next winter. Pomena Bay (apart from being the site of Odisej Hotel, the only one on the island), has other advantages: it is a very safe anchorage, even for those less experienced at sailing, and it sits just 15 min. walk from Malo jezero lake. A tiny nearby island Pomeštak is a naturist beach.
Mljet's coastal belt is particularly well-indented, which makes it a treasure throve for those lucky enough to visit from direction of the sea. Apart from Pomena, Polače and Lastovo Bay (not to be confused with Lastovo Island) are both deservedly popular destinations. Most water-front restaurants have anchorages, or you can sit you boat pretty in the middle of bay and take a dinghy to the island. And if you're in need of some unique Mediterranean culture, visit Goveđari – a small inland village, not far from Polače Bay. It's gallery Stara skula is a site of much of the island's culture and social life, with regular open-air cinema screenings and various art and literary events throughout the summer. In spring it organises wild foraging workshops and with Mljet's balmy climate, it is a perfect place to visit all year round.
At its southernmost point is another gem – Saplunara Beach, where a survival reality show was once filmed. You can see why – the expanse of sandy beach and snorkel-heaven reefs take you as far from your daily life as you want to be. A word of warning though, unlike the rest of the island Saplunara has sparse vegetation, get there early for some natural shade or bring your family pack of sunscreen.

On a cloudy, overcast day at McCoy, the Pawtucket Red Sox squared off in Game 3 of their series against the Louisville Bats. Coming off their second straight victory against the Bats (a 4-3 win back on Sunday), the PawSox were looking to get their third consecutive victory of the series.
With the clouds looming into the sky, the PawSox and Bats took to the diamond to play Game 3 of the series. The Bats got on the scoreboard first in the top of the 2nd inning with a RBI double by C Tucker Barnhart to grab a 1-0 early lead. The Bats managed to take on two more runs in the following inning on a 2-run shot by 2B Ruben Gotay to make it 3-0.
The PawSox were able to answer back in the bottom of the 6th inning. After getting on base by a walk, 2B Mike McCoy stole 2 consecutive bases to get into scoring position. He then came home on an RBI single by SS Carlos Rivero to make it 3-1. But by then, the rain had gone from a drizzle in the 4th inning to a full blown down pour.
The umpires converged at the pitcher's mound before pausing the game due to the rain. After a delay of 1 hour and 7 minutes, game officials called the game off at 10:02 p.m. with the PawSox losing in 6 innings to the Bats 3-1. Matt Latos ended up picking up his second victory for the Bats while Allen Webster ended up with his third loss of the season.
This was the 5th time this season that a game was called short due to weather. The last game that was called off due to weather was back on May 13 at Indianapolis where the PawSox lost to the Indians 6-2 after 6 innings due to rain. The last PawSox home game that was called off due to weather was back on May 1 in a 3-2 loss to the Indianapolis Indians where the game was called off due to heavy fog.
The next game will played on June 10 at 12:05 p.m. The pitching matchup will be either LHP Felix Doubront (on rehab assignment) or RHP Steven Wright (0-1, 1.38) taking the mound for the PawSox against RHP Brent Marshall (0-1, 13.50) of the Louisville Bats.
Game Summary: This marks the second game of the series where Mookie did not register a hit. He did, however, looking impressive in the outfield as he was able to cover a lot of ground on a couple of flyouts.
Game Summary: Was able to display some defensive awareness, snagging two fly balls in foul territory. Ironically enough, if the game had not been called off due to rain Cecchini would have been the next batter of the inning.
Game Summary: Not a fun night for Shaw behind the plate, flying out to short in the first inning and then striking out consecutively during his next two at-bats.
Game Summary: Not a good night for Vazquez behind the plate. He ended up hitting into a costly double play in the 2nd inning to kill the offensive momentum of the PawSox in that inning while striking out in his next at-bat.
Game Summary: Webster ended up picking up his third loss of the season in this game. He struggled mightily in the 2nd and 3rd inning with control of his pitches, including giving up that 2-run shot in the 3rd inning. Afterwards, Webster was able to settle down and proceeded to strike out 2 batters in each of the following innings up to game cancellation.
