This stint takes us along the boundary with the Bridle Road to Thurcaston.
There is not much of a hedgerow and the only ancient evidence is in Stint 25b where you can see remnants of ancient layered hawthorn but only one piece.
We go through landscape planting of silver birch, oak and hawthorn and some beech has been planted as a hedgerow in 25b.
Very disappointing to have lost this ancient boundary on an ancient track.
As in Stint 25d we move along the edge of the Bridle Road and through a landscaped area of the golf course until we come to the ditch/drain. At the point we take a right-handed turn along the drain for stint 26d.
In the ditch, at the turn, there is a good coppiced ash.

When one speaks of 'tokens' or 'landa' in Maltese, Strait Street in Valletta instantly springs to mind.
Tony and Jeanette Stivala recently published a book about their collection of Maltese tokens. Photos: Mark Zammit Cordina
But the history of these mostly brass or copper pieces goes further back in time and their scope was much wider than that of getting a drink or dancing with the barmaid during the heyday of the infamous night spot.
Tony Stivala and his Scottish wife Jeanette, née McLarty, have been collecting tokens, as well as many other Maltese artefacts, for about 20 years and have recently published a book on their endeavour.
They became interested in these items quite by chance.
"One day, an English collector came to our bar and asked me if I had any tokens," said Mr Stivala, who runs Times Gone By in Gżira.
"I was instantly intrigued and being an avid collector of Maltese memorabilia, I thought 'why don't I start collecting them myself'?"
His wife helped him with the research and found, among other things, that tokens were first used in Malta during the time of the Order of St John but became especially popular during the British period. The book, published by Horizons, in fact focuses on the late Victorian era to the 1960s.
"Tokens were used quite profusely at the time. There was a lack of coinage owing to the increase in the number of visitors to the island, especially navy and army personnel, who frequented entertainment spots across the island," noted Ms Stivala, who is from Northfield in Aberdeen.
"However, everyone assumes that these tokens were used only in Strait Street but far from it," she exclaims.
As Emmanuel Magro Conti, senior curator at Heritage Malta, explains in the book's foreword, the use of tokens instead of the official legal tender issued by the government forms part of 'exonumia', a term that incorporates all numismatic items made of various materials, sizes and shapes other than official coins and paper money.
The book features illustrations by George Apap.

He mentions three examples of tokens: some that were purely used as money substitutes for trade purposes; others that were considered the equivalent of cheques and that had a variety of uses, including advertising; and others that replaced medals, coins and today's credit cards and were issued by companies for clients who had accounts with them.
Leafing through the publication, which features over 500 tokens, one can learn about Malta's social and economic history. Old photos and illustrations by George Apap give readers a better idea of the context in which tokens were used.

Maltese Tokens mentions bars, restaurants, hotels and establishments, many of which are no more or have changed use. These include Redoubt Bar in Birżebbuġa, a popular place among navy personnel and which still exists; Chez Charlie's, Chez Vency and Gardenia Bar in Floriana; Granada Bar in Gżira, which was very popular among sailors stationed on naval vessels docked at Manoel Island, then a submarine base; Cairo Bar in Sliema and Tiger Bar in Marsa, then a well-known meeting place among British servicemen in the area.
The couple managed to find tokens of innumerable bars in Strait Street, such as the Blue Heaven, British Crown Rest Bar, Dirty Dick's Bar, which was popular among the gay community, King George VI Bar, Queen Elizabeth Bar, Sussex Bar, Matador Jazz Bar, Piccadilly Bar, Retainer Bar, Roy Bar and The Splendid Bar & Hotel, which is sometimes used as an exhibition space nowadays.
Others include Tico Tico Bar, Carmen Bar, Larry's Bar, Loop Bar and Silver Horse Bar, all of which have recently reopened. Tokens were also used in clubs such as the Australia Hall in Pembroke and the Vernon Club, a social club for British servicemen which occupied the premises of what is now the Central Bank of Malta in Valletta.
During the 1930s, churchgoers in Żejtun also had to use tokens to pay for the use of a chair in their parish church, while worshippers at St Paul's Anglican Cathedral in Valletta made tokens in memory of deceased loved ones and the money collected went towards the cathedral.
The couple is proud of their feat but mostly of the contribution they are making to Maltese melitensia.
"These tokens form part and parcel of Maltese identity," said Ms Stivala, who settled in Malta 41 years ago.
"We would like to be able to help retain this identity and get youths interested in Malta's history through our book."

Mr Stivala is an avid collector of Maltese memorabilia. He is seen here holding the first passport of former Maltese prime minister George Borg Olivier.

I hear you in the swaying trees As rustling leaves sing odes of praise. Slow babbling brook my senses please And nesting doves their anthems raise.
Among low twigs and blades of grass, Swift and silent workers at their task, Gathering good ere warm days pass; When cold winds blow in rest shall bask.
Buzzing bees ask not the reasons Why they dance amid the flowers Yet observe the turn of seasons Though do not count the passing hours.
All fill their chosen roles each day As softly, sweetly flow the years.
All fill their chosen roles each day As softly, sweetly flow the years. Nature's rhyme e're guides the way And kindly wipes away time's tears.

In a car accident, some types of injuries are immediately apparent. Lacerations and fractures, for example, are hard to miss.
Other types of injuries, including serious brain injuries, may not be obvious right away or may develop or worsen in the days and weeks following the crash. An upset stomach after a car accident, for example, can be a symptom of a number of injuries that range in severity from minor to potentially fatal. That's why it's important to always get a medical evaluation after an auto accident, even if you feel fine at the moment.
Causes of Upset Stomach After a Car Accident
Some people may experience digestive upset simply as a result of the stress of being in an auto accident. However, an upset stomach can indicate serious trauma as well. Nausea and vomiting are, for example, one of the first symptoms of a serious head injury.
A car accident is undoubtedly traumatic. In the aftermath of a crash, you might feel emotions such as fright, anxiety, or shock. These emotions affect the nervous system and cause some people to feel sick to their stomachs. It's perfectly normal to feel this way, and in minor accidents, these symptoms will go away in a few days with rest and anti-nausea medication.
Seat Belt Trauma
Although seat belts and airbags are designed to keep us safe in an accident, they can also cause injury in their own right. In the sudden force of a crash, the seat belt can bruise or irritate your abdominal area, resulting in stomach discomfort. This is sometimes called "seat belt syndrome."
Some abdominal soreness is common after a car accident. Severe accidents, however, may cause injuries like internal bleeding or organ damage. If your upset stomach is accompanied by abdominal bruising, rigidity, or swelling, it's important to get checked out by your doctor.
If following a car accident, you have an upset stomach that is accompanied by dizziness or headaches, you may have suffered a head injury. Auto accidents can cause whiplash, blood clots, and traumatic brain injuries, all of which are known to worsen over time and may even become life-threatening.
Whiplash is an internal injury where the tissues in the neck are stretched beyond their normal range. Whiplash can cause a number of symptoms, including pain, fatigue, vision problems, and headache. According to NIH research, up to 50% of whiplash injuries cause vertigo and dizziness, both of which can lead to nausea or an upset stomach.
Like many car accident injuries, whiplash tends to get worse with time. Contact a doctor if you suspect you may have whiplash.
A number of brain injuries may be sustained in a car crash. Concussions, for example, are a type of traumatic brain injury where a sudden impact causes the brain to hit against the skull. The resulting brain damage can cause a range of symptoms, including dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.
An upset stomach can also be an early symptom of severe brain injuries that may worsen over time and lead to serious chronic health problems or death. Immediate medical treatment is crucial to prevent further damage, and could even save your life.
Financial Consequences of Car Accident Injuries
Most car crash injuries are fairly minor. Hopefully, you will get a clean bill of health from your doctor and go back to work right away. More serious injuries, on the other hand, can have a significant negative impact on your quality of life.
When a brain injury impairs cognitive function, it may require long-term rehabilitative treatment and could cause lifelong disability. Victims of irreversible brain damage may need 24-hour professional care for the rest of their lives. MRIs, CT scans, surgeries, and hospitalizations may be required.
All this comes at a significant cost, especially if you are no longer able to work and earn a living. It's been estimated that traumatic brain injury treatment could cost a patient up to $3 million over his or her lifetime.
Help from a Worcester Car Accident Attorney
If you are experiencing an upset stomach after a car accident, please get medical treatment as soon as possible. This can be a symptom of severe injuries, such as internal organ damage and traumatic brain injury, that require extensive medical attention.
They may warrant expert legal attention as well. If the symptoms you've developed are affecting your ability to lead your normal life and earn a living, you may be eligible to recover compensation for your lost wages so you can get the care that you need.
Worcester car accident attorney Peter Ventura has decades of experience protecting the rights of accident victims and helping people like you rebuild their lives. Please contact our office today to set up a free, no-obligation consultation.

Humberto Castro at ArtSpace/Virginia Miller Galleries
September 18, 2008 by Group
Humberto Castro, an artist from Cuba whose previous works often referred to flight, cages and voyages over water, has expanded his visual metaphors to the concept of fables and historic immigration as the foundation for contemporary society.
"Contemporary Fables," his October 2008 exhibition at ArtSpace/Virginia Miller Galleries in downtown Coral Gables, transposes the fable—a literary term for a brief story about talking animals, plants or other objects offering a moral lesson—into paintings.
"My initial concept for this series of paintings was contemporary fables in new cities," Castro says. "As I developed the idea it became two series, defined and independent but related to each other. The series focuses on the behavior of people and their ability to transform nature and themselves, as well as their displacement around the world."
The artist notes that "the fables are already there in the paintings themselves, but their interpretation will be different by viewers who bring their own experiences and responses to the work—and viewers will arrive at their own moral from each fable."
A man apparently wearing only a six-foot galleon around his midsection is titled "Contra el viento y la marea," literally "Against the Wind and Tide." A Spanish expression often translated as "against all odds," clearly the concept applies to such voyages as those of balseros coming here from Cuba, Pilgrims and others crossing the Atlantic from England and Europe, Portuguese pioneers sailing to Brazil, Dutch and English farmers and miners settling in South Africa, and other risky emigrations.
Other paintings continue the concept of fables with trees being transformed into boats and people. "Although I have painted trees before, using them as a metaphor is a new departure," the artist noted. "For me, trees act as a liaison between the natural world and the people who are always present in my work. I arrived at this symbol last year when we were living in New York. All around this great cosmopolitan city are these huge trees, and their monumental presence seems a counterpart to the monumental structures created by people. This concept suggested the idea of the transformation of the environment by man."
Castro continues a favorite theme, the Icarus myth, with paintings of a female with an enormous bird's wing and birds flying around a winged man who has broken out of a cage. He acknowledges "Cuba continues to be unconsciously reflected in my work. But I always use universal themes, because I feel that my way of thinking or analyzing things in life is universal. Whenever I adopt a major theme, I focus on specific situations with a universal application, and Cuba is somehow included in this universality."
The exhibition also will include several works from the other part of this series, "New Cities," which introduces the suitcase as a symbol of the physical, cultural and political baggage carried by the immigrants who created the present Americas, Africa and elsewhere. These paintings show a spiraling tower, an enormous cone-shaped kiln or smokestack and a winding wall, all constructed of suitcases.
Some of the paintings include sections that disclose a gold underpainting. "Gold was one of the greatest motivations for global exploration," Castro notes. "Explorers came to the New World seeking the fabled El Dorado."
Miami Herald writer Fabiola Santiago noted that Castro is "a member of the daring 1980s generation of avant-garde Cuban artists who broke through government censorship, launched independent art collectives, and for too short a moment, staged exhibits and performance art critical of the island's totalitarian regime."
In 1989 the Cuban delegation at UNESCO in collaboration with French art critics and the Fundation France Liberté invited Castro, José Bedia, and several other Cuban artists to exhibit at the Centre d'Art Contemporain Pablo Neruda and the Galerie Nesle in Paris. The exhibition, "Trayctoire Cubaine," also traveled to two museums in Italy. Castro attended the exhibitions, and on returning to Paris, decided to stay there. He worked in Paris until 2000, when he moved to Miami.
Since arriving here he was given a one-person exhibition at the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, "The Paris Years: 1989-99," in 2000-01, and a one-person exhibition, "Humberto Castro: Paintings and Drawings 1990-2005," his first 15-year retrospective, in 2006-07 at ArtSpace/Virginia Miller Galleries. His work also was included in a recent group exhibition, "Unbroken Ties: Dialogues in Cuban Art," at the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art.
A painting by Castro, "Oasis," a 2007 oil on canvas, will be the cover of a book scheduled to be published this fall. "Cuba Per Se" consists of interviews with 40 Cuban writers in exile conducted by author Armando Chávez Rivera.
"Contemporary Fables" will be exhibited October 3-31 at ArtSpace/Virginia Miller Galleries, 169 Madeira Ave. in downtown Coral Gables, Greater Miami's longest-established contemporary fine art gallery, now in its 35th year. Other works by Humberto Castro may be seen on the gallery web site, www.virginiamiller.com. For more information, call 305-444-4493.

Oh. My. Goodness. This story is beautiful. Jessica Park's writing is beautiful. Seriously. Esben and Allison made me laugh, then cry, then swoon, then cry again, and swoon again. This was my first experience with Jessica Park's writing, but it will definitely not be my last. I have already added 180 Seconds to my "Favorites" collection on my Kindle.
And when you're lucky enough to find one—just one—person in this unforgiving life who makes everything worth it, who you love and trust and would kill for, then you hold on damn tight, because that's probably all you get.
Esben is holding us together emotionally, giving me an unspoken promise that he will not drop me. The traumas that bind me every day, every hour, every minute soften until I barely feel their presence.
I know I love him, and I wish I could feel that right now, but my current vacant heart is an inevitable by-product of my protective armor.

Roma set up camp right next door to a Polish mountain village. The old story of foreign and curious, friendly and hostile neighbours unfolds. It ends with a pogrom. Dorota Kȩdzierzawska's cinematic interest has always lain with the margins of society, in her documentary films as well, whose experimental aesthetic she maintains here: fragmented images with slow pacing, lots of observation with few words spoken. One hears Romani as often as Polish. A highly poetic and problem-oriented film.

causes for changes in excess O2 are tube fouling, changes in fuel or in atmospheric conditions, or damage to the control system. The base for comparison should be established by the boiler service personnel or the boiler contractor at the time of initial installation of the boiler, and he or she should be consulted immediately if any unusual conditions are observed.
This problem can be caused by water-side or fireside fouling. If fire-side fouling (i.e., a buildup of soot, ash, or other particles) is taking place, the rate of heat transfer from the boiler to the water or steam it is heating is impeded, and the stack gas is correspondingly hotter. The effect of soot on fuel consumption is noticeable, according to the American Boiler Manufacturers Association (ABMA).10 Efficiency losses due to soot are approximately as given in Table 14.12. For this reason, the ABMA recommends that tubes be cleaned once every shift where practical. Where such cleaning is not practical, it is recommended that tubes be cleaned whenever the stack temperature rises 75°F.

Johnny Beazley
January 4, 2012 /in BioProject - Person 1948 Boston Braves/Red Sox /by admin
This article was written by John Fuqua
For most of pro baseball's first century, when a "sore arm" sidelined a pitcher for an extended period, it began a descent in skill too often resulting in an untimely exit from the game. Frequently, these players were victims of whisper campaigns, having their courage and valor called into question. Surgeons were unable to repair their defects, and they faded quickly from the scene, ultimately to appear on lists of hurlers who had great seasons but brief careers.
As a result of the era in which he pitched, John Andrew Beazley, Jr. would not benefit from the progress in medical therapies and surgical procedures for his injured arm. As a rookie in 1942, "Beaze" had pitched brilliantly for the St. Louis Cardinals during the regular season and World Series, posting two victories over a supreme New York Yankees ball club and rightly earning the nickname of "Yankee Killer" as St. Louis captured the Series. He answered the call of war shortly thereafter, and when he returned, his arm and career were on a downward trend. His lifetime 31-12 record is a most impressive one, but also leaves one wondering what could have been.
Johnny Beazley was born on May 25, 1918, in Nashville, Tennessee, the son of John Andrew and Mattie Sue Robertson Beazley, known as Sue. From 1925 to 1932, young Johnny attended the Barker School in Birmingham, Alabama. Returning to Nashville, he enrolled at Cohn Junior High in West Nashville. While he was still young, his father died.
By the age of 16, Johnny was passionate about boxing. An article by Dick Farrington in The Sporting News explained that Beazley had a friend who was a Golden Gloves champion, and Johnny frequently worked out with him. His buddy eventually won the Southern Amateur Light Heavyweight Championship, and Beazley served as his cornerman whenever he boxed. It was Johnny's ambition to become a fighter too, but when he told his mother of these intentions, she put her foot down. "I don't want you going around with your nose on the back of your head," she told her young son. Earlier, Johnny's younger brother, Felix, had died because of an injury suffered during a football game at Nashville's Cohn High School, so her objections to "rougher" sports were understandable. Mom had her way, and when Johnny heeded her plea and forsook boxing for baseball, she had no objections.1
Johnny did not play much baseball before high school. He always took jobs during the summer months — as a delivery boy for a local drugstore, delivering orders to customers on his bicycle, or clerking in a grocery store six days a week. It was out of necessity, as he had to find work and earn income for his mother. She had now been a widow for several years, and Johnny, her only living child, had to help provide for her.2
There was time for athletics in high school, though. At Nashville's Hume-Fogg High, baseball coach Fred "Ox" McKibbon listened to some of Johnny's teammates who saw a boy with pitching talent and moved him from the outfield to the mound. Beazley quickly became the team's number one hurler, and recorded a 9-0 shutout over Franklin High in his first start. He took to other sports as well, and finished at Hume-Fogg as a four-letter man.
Upon graduation, Beazley went to a baseball school conducted at Nashville's historic Sulphur Dell ballyard. Jimmy Hamilton, a scout for the Cincinnati Reds, managed the business office for the school ("tuition" was $25, but it was waived for Nashville residents); while the instructors, all current or former big-leaguers, were Tom Sheehan, George Kelly, Charlie Dressen, Gilly Campbell, Hub Walker, and Paul Derringer. Hamilton's job was also to sign any decent prospects for the Reds. Of the 40 or so who attended the school, Johnny was the only player signed. He was inked to a contract with the Nashville Vols of the Southern Association in the fall of 1936, when he had just turned 17 years old. Cincinnati had a working relationship with Nashville. Beazley was sent the following spring to the Leesburg Gondoliers of the Class D Florida State League.3
Leesburg was managed by former Pirates pitcher Lee Meadows. Johnny was a mediocre 4-3 for Leesburg with a 3.96 ERA, and in midseason, he was moved to Tallahassee in the Georgia-Florida League in the hopes that he might prosper under manager Dutch Hoffman. His performance there was worse (1-7, 4.50 ERA) but Hamilton still believed in his potential and moved him to Lexington, Tennessee, in the Kitty League. Playing for his third ballclub of the year, Johnny won a couple more games but still had a mediocre record (2-5, 4.50 ERA). All told, the rookie was a disappointing 7-15 for the '37 season.
In 1938 Beazley began the year at Greenville in the Class C Cotton States League. Reds scout Hamilton thought he looked great in exhibition games this time, but Johnny hit a roadblock when the regular season got under way. He began 2-4 with a 7.63 ERA, and not long after the season started was declared a free agent because of a technicality over his transfer from Lexington to Greenville. Disgusted with his pitching, Beazley decided to go home to Nashville. In July, he accepted a $250 bonus to sign with Abbeville in the Class D Evangeline League, but he had a hard time getting going there as well and returned home a second time. Only at the urging of Abbeville manager Jess Petty, the former Brooklyn pitcher known as "The Silver Fox," did Johnny return and finish the season. His skipper's confidence must have helped, as Beazley won several games and put up a better earned run average (6-8, 3.27 ERA) down the stretch.
Still more challenges were to come. After the '38 season, Beazley's contract was sold to the New Orleans Pelicans (scout Bob Dowie was instrumental in his acquisition) of the Class A1 Southern Association, a considerable jump in caliber.
At the end of his first month with New Orleans, Beazley injured his elbow. He had pitched just 25 innings in 10 appearances for the Pelicans, with a woeful 1-3 record and a 9.36 ERA. He walked 13 batters and allowed 27 runs on 39 hits during this brief stint, and was thus sent packing again — this time to Montgomery in the Class B Southeastern League. There he pitched only one game before being sent home yet again to rest his arm. Apparently only a fierce determination and encouragement from his coaches along the way kept Johnny in the game. Sue Beazley, his mother, also cited Vanderbilt coach Bill Schwartz, who had Johnny pitch batting practice each spring and offered a number of tips.4
Reporting back to New Orleans in 1940, Johnny was now a St. Louis Cardinals farmhand because the Pelicans had signed a working agreement with the Cards. After allowing 13 runs in nine innings over four games for the Pelicans with no decisions, he was moved back to in B ball and hurled only moderately more successfully for the Sally League's Columbus Red Birds (5-3, 5.17 ERA). While with Columbus, he injured his back and returned home to Nashville to recover. Still struggling to gain his earlier promise, he was sent to the Montgomery Rebels in the Southeastern League and finally showed some real improvement — going 4-2 with a 2.04 ERA in eight games. Beazley's rebound during his final Class B stop of the year foreshadowed his return to New Orleans and his development into a major league quality pitcher during 1941.
The '41 season was a pivotal year for Beazley. While in New Orleans, he finally learned how to truly pitch under Pelicans manager Ray Blades. Previously, Johnny said later, he had only tried to "fog the ball past the batters. It didn't work, but I thought I knew it all." Blades convinced the still-young Beazley that "there was more to pitching than just throwing the ball" and taught him to pitch to locations and change speeds.5 He got a lot of work, pitching in 44 games (including 31 starts). Injury-free at last, Beazley went an impressive 16-12 with a 3.61 ERA over 217 innings.
When the Cardinals expanded their roster in September, he was called up to "The Show." The Cardinals were were battling the Brooklyn Dodgers for the National League pennant, but surrendered the flag to the Bums during the final week. Beazley, now 23, made his major-league debut on the meaningless last day of the regular season, starting against the Chicago Cubs. His mound opponent was another late-season rookie call-up, Russ "Babe" Meers, also making his initial big-league appearance. Meers and Beazley had battled each other during the 1941 Southern Association season, and here they battled again. Meers lasted eight innings, allowing only five hits, but Beazley scattered 10 hits while pitching a complete game and securing his first major league win, 3-1. "I was lucky I had a manager who was so patient," he later said in appreciation of Blades. "Otherwise I wouldn't be up here winning in the National League."
The Gas House Gang of the 1930s was gone, and Beazley joined a young and hungry Cardinals ballclub in 1942 spring training. Manager Billy Southworth remembered Johnny's performance the previous year and gave him an opportunity to make the parent club. Beazley earned a spot on the Cardinals' big league roster and later claimed a slot in the starting rotation after early success in relief.
Just two years after almost bombing out of the minors, Johnny was the top rookie pitcher in the major leagues — and one of the top pitchers, period — during the '42 season. Compiling an impressive 21-6 record with a 2.13 ERA in 215 1/3 innings, he helped the Cardinals storm past archrival Brooklyn and win the National League pennant during the final days of the season. Beazley's pitching repertoire included a whistling fastball and a snapping curve; his changeup was mostly off the fastball with an occasional slow curve. He recorded the second-best winning percentage in the league, along with the second-most wins. His 2.13 ERA was also second in the senior circuit; behind teammate Mort Cooper's leading 1.77. Beazley thanked Southworth for giving him confidence and the chance to pitch, and he credited coach Mike Gonzalez for his turnaround. Apparently Gonzalez had taken a personal interest in the hard-nosed rookie.
Beazley was part of an unflattering incident during the 1942 season. The night before he was to pitch in a key game against the Phillies, he got into an argument with a porter at the train station. Beazley did not want the redcap to carry his travel bag; the porter was African-American, and Beazley reportedly did not like blacks. This was not uncommon, but Johnny's prejudice may have been less controllable because of the fact that he was commonly known as "Nig" around Nashville after his grandfather stuck him with the nickname when he was about 3 months old. A squabble ensued at the train station, and the porter cursed him. Beazley responded by throwing the bag at him, after which the porter pulled a knife and slashed Beazley on his right thumb. Beazley raised his arm in self-defense, resulting in a deep (but not serious) cut. His Cardinals teammates didn't know how he would be able to pitch the next day, but Johnny did pitch and carried a 1-0 lead into the ninth before Philadelphia rallied for a 2-1 victory. His teammates knew he was a cocky, hard-nosed player with a terrible temper, and, the temper did not always serve him well.6
Led by Beazley and Cooper on the mound and future Hall of Famers Stan Musial and Enos "Country" Slaughter at the plate, the '42 Cardinals had an extraordinary 106-48 record for the 1942 season, setting a franchise record for wins that still stands today. In the World Series, Southworth's Cardinals were matched against the New York Yankees of Joe McCarthy, defending Series champs and winners of five of the previous six fall classics. The Yankees took the opener at St. Louis, and Beazley was dubbed by the Cards to try to even things up at home in Game Two. Before the contest, Johnny satisfied a promise he had made to three of his former Hume-Fogg High baseball teammates. The self-assured hurler had signed a note back in school promising the trio tickets to his first World Series game, and sure enough, the three were at Sportsman's Park to see his start.
His guests and the rest of the 34,255 on hand had plenty to cheer about most of the day, as the Cardinals spotted Beazley a two-run lead in the first and added another tally in the seventh. Johnny, meanwhile, held the Yankees scoreless until the top of the eighth, but then New York outfielder Charlie Keller tied the score with a three-run homer off the right-field roof. In the bottom of the frame, Slaughter hit a two-out double and Musial singled him home for a 4-3 lead. Despite surrendering a couple of singles in the top of the ninth, Johnny retired the side and Cardinals fans joyously tossed thousands of seat cushions onto the playing field at game's end. Afterward, Beazley pulled a lucky brown rabbit's foot out of his pocket and told gathered reporters that a female fan had given it to him.
A Time magazine writer noted of Beazley after the victory: "He grips the ball so hard his hand quivers for a half hour after each game. But the 'Beaze' has plenty on the ball. When Manager Billy Southworth chose the 'Beaze' for the second game of the series, even his staunchest admirers feared he would blow up with World Series jitters. The kid was walloped for ten hits, got into one jam after another, but at the last out he was still on the mound, the first rookie to win a Series game since Paul Dean trimmed the Detroit Tigers for St. Louis in 1934."7
Games Three and Four went to St. Louis, too, as their pitching and hitting dominated the mighty Yankees. They held a three-games-to-one advantage over the Bronx Bombers, and with the title within reach, Southworth gave the ball to Beazley again for Game Five at Yankee Stadium. Leadoff batter Phil Rizzuto homered for New York in the first, but Slaughter tied the score with a homer of his own in the top of the fourth. The Yankees pushed another run across against Beazley in the bottom of the inning, but St. Louis tied it again it in the top of the sixth.
Both Johnny and the Yankees' Red Ruffing were pitching well, but in the top of the ninth, with Walker Cooper on base, Whitey Kurowski crushed a line-drive home run into Yankee Stadium's left-field bleachers. St. Louis had a 4-2 lead and New York was down to its final three outs. The first two Yankees up in the ninth reached base on a single and an error, but Joe Gordon was picked off second base by Cards catcher Cooper, and Beazley got the next two on a popup and a groundout to win his second game and clinch the Series.
In the victorious Cardinals' locker room, Johnny was surrounded by reporters as well as a special guest. Babe Ruth burst into the proceedings and exclaimed, "Where's that guy that whooped my Yankees?" Shaking the great Bambino's hand was a cherished Beazley memory that lasted a lifetime.
The World Series hero returned to his native Nashville, where his achievements were celebrated and acknowledged by Mayor Tom Cummings and throngs of fans. They lavished him with gifts and awards; when asked by a reporter what he would do with his $6,100 Series share, the devoted son said he would give it to his mother. For his performance in 1942, the Chicago Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America named Beazley the most valuable rookie of the year. (The "official" Rookie of the Year Award would not be given until 1947.) The Sporting News named him to the All Star Freshman Team along with Stan Musial and Johnny Pesky.
By the time of these honors, Johnny had become Corporal Beazley. In the midst of his whirlwind 1942 season, he had faithfully committed to military service, now that the U.S. was embroiled in World War II. The Army Air Force was waiting for him as the World Series concluded; and after graduating from Officer Candidate School, he was commissioned a second lieutenant in March of 1943.
Lieutenant Beazley was assigned to a morale-boosting unit, and spent much of his time traveling to military bases and playing baseball for the troops. The frequent service games caused an enormous strain on Beazley's arm. He eventually injured it, which effectively ruined his baseball career.
Beazley's oldest son, Terry, said his dad would go to a base, pitch two or three innings, then get on a bus and travel 40 miles to the next base without being able to cool down his arm. Cardinals teammate Marty Marion told author Peter Golenbock: "Beazley was in the Army, and we played his Army team in an exhibition game in Memphis. Ol' Beazley hurt his arm pitching against us. He tried to beat us, I guess. He babied it for a couple of years, and it never did come back."8
Shortly before he died in 2002, Enos Slaughter shared some reflections on his old teammate. "Johnny Beazley was an excellent pitcher for the Cardinals in his first season," Slaughter recalled. "He was easy to get along with. He went out and did his job when he was supposed to."
Still, initial expectations for Beazley were that he could regain his 1942 form when he returned to civilian life and the Cardinals organization after the war. It wasn't to be. Concerns about his arm and lost velocity first arose early in spring training of 1946, and were justified when the regular season got under way. While he recorded a decent 7-5 record during the year, he made just 18 starts, and his 4.46 earned run average made it clear that the mastery he enjoyed during the '42 season was history. That magical summer would remain his only great season, and in September Beazley actually announced his intentions to retire at the age of 28. "My arm is all right now, I think," he told reporters, "but I feel weak and tired and just don't have any strength anymore, so I'm quitting when the season's over. I'd quit now, but I don't want to let [Cards manager Eddie] Dyer down." Dyer insisted that Johnny stay with the team down the stretch, and although he didn't pitch again in the regular season, Beazley did appear briefly in the '46 World Series against the Boston Red Sox — pitching one scoreless frame in Game Five after the Sox had taken a 6-1 lead after seven innings.
St. Louis won the series in seven games, and Dyer got Beazley to change his mind about retiring. He reported to spring training with the Cards in 1947 with new hope that he could regain his prior form, and had a few encouraging, headline-producing outings during the exhibition season. Most experts remained skeptical, but one man who still believed in Johnny was watching with interest. Former Cardinals manager Billy Southworth had moved to the Boston Braves in 1946 after presiding over a dominant St. Louis squad from 1940 to 1945, and immediately led the Boston club to its best season (third place) in nearly 30 years. Beazley had pitched brilliantly for Billy during the '42 season, and Southworth — ever loyal, perhaps to a fault, to his old players — expected that Johnny would return to his prewar brilliance. He encouraged Braves owner Lou Perini to acquire Beazley, and Perini, anxious to put his own rising club into pennant contention, complied. On April 19, just as the 1947 regular season was getting under way, the Braves purchased the erstwhile ace for an undisclosed sum.
A few weeks later, on May 8, "Beaz" won his first start with the Braves — going the distance in a 12-5 victory over the Pirates that gave Boston a share of first place with the Dodgers. Southworth called Johnny's possible revival a key to the team's pennant hopes, but the enthusiasm was short-lived. Beazley won and completed his next start, against Cincinnati a month later, but his arm woes never really subsided. He wound up throwing just 28 2/3 innings the whole '47 season (2-0, 4.40) and even less in 1948 (0-1, 4.50 in 16 innings of work). Johnny did get to play on his third pennant-winning club when the Braves copped the NL flag in '48, and no doubt appreciated the bonus money, but it was likely a minor consolation. He appeared in just one game in 1949, retiring all six batters he faced in finishing a game, but his career was over. Southworth's long comeback chance for his old ace officially ended on May 12, when Beazley was optioned to the minor leagues.
Beazley's major-league statistics consisted of a six-year record of 31-12 in 76 appearances; along with 147 strikeouts, he finished with a career 3.01 ERA. He attempted to revive his career in 1949 by playing with his hometown Southern Association Nashville Vols, but was unable to overcome his arm injury. Meekly, he recorded a 1-3 record in five games in a Nashville uniform. In 1950, he attempted a comeback by playing for the Dallas Eagles in the Texas League finishing with a 2-2 record. In 1951, he played for the Oklahoma City Indians of the Texas League and finished with a 6-6 record. Finally, he walked off the mound for the last time and retired from baseball. In 1943, Johnny Beazley had married Carolyn Jo Frey of Springfield, Tennessee, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and he now had plenty of time for his hobbies of hunting, fishing, and golf. His post-baseball business career began with the Falstaff Brewing Company of St. Louis, for whom he was general manager of his hometown Nashville branch beginning in 1950. He later purchased the distributorship and ran the company until 1972. His wife died in 1974, but he kept busy by serving on the Metropolitan Nashville Council and as a councilman from 1974 to 1976. He also found a new bride, marrying Jacqueline Spurlock Ezell in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1975. They enjoyed 15 years together until, after being diagnosed with cancer, John Andrew Beazley, Jr. died at his home in Nashville on April 21, 1990. He was 71 years old, and was buried in the Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Nashville.
He was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in 1977, and in 2005 was elected to the Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools Sports Hall of Fame. And while the big one, in Cooperstown, will not be opening its doors for him, there are few men there who showed more promise in their rookie years than the hard-nosed Yankee slayer from the Volunteer State.

24 Jul Rendering: Creating Livable Spaces
Posted at 16:37h in Articles, Rendering, Summer | Fall 2011	| Laurel Delp	0 Comments
Robert Hidey Architects occupies half of the second floor in an unremarkable modern two-story building set in a series of business centers scattered along Irvine Center Drive in Southern California's fabled Orange County. There are no pedestrians, and despite tree plantings, the office buildings are basically surrounded by asphalt parking lots. It's a far cry from what the firm espouses.
Founder Robert Hidey is part of a second generation of residential architects to make their mark on this fabulously wealthy, sunlit land south of Los Angeles. Hidey has, of course, worked elsewhere — most recently on varied commissions in China — but his career is inextricably woven into the development of Orange County, an important chunk of which is the 93,000-acre former Irvine Ranch, which includes the Gold Coast (between Newport Beach and Laguna Beach) inland to the Anaheim Hills.
Rather than sell off their land piecemeal to developers, the heirs of ranch founder James Irvine opted to develop their vast holdings themselves. In 1960 they hired architect William Pereira to set up a master plan. At the same time they sold 1,000 acres — for $1 — to the University of California for its Irvine campus, and Pereira's plan created the surrounding city of Irvine, where Hidey's firm now maintains its offices.
The plan also envisioned the creation of villages, shopping and business centers; planned communities to be interspersed with open space. In a time when, for the most part, suburban entry-level and mid-range housing consisted of tracts full of expedient box-shaped houses, the foundation mandated that builders must employ the services of an architect.
Robert Hidey himself grew up in the planned community of Palos Verdes Estates, on the peninsula that formed the southern tip of the Santa Monica Bay, originally laid out by the Olmstead Brothers (sons of Frederick Law Olmstead) for a wealthy East Coast developer. The first Spanish Colonial-style homes went up in the early 1920s. Today, it's a beautiful, fairly cohesive bastion of traditional architecture, made even more attractive by the parks and open spaces laid out by the Olmsteads. But in spite of this obvious inspiration, at the start of his career as an architect, Hidey concentrated on commercial work. He spent a dozen years working for William Pereira, then for Johnson Fain Pereira, involved in a wide variety of commercial projects, including a hospital, an airport and a hotel. He was headquartered in Orange County, but commuted back and forth to the Los Angeles offices and traveled the world.
"Never thought I would do housing," he laughs. "Just never thought I would go there." But in the mid-1980s, when the firm decided to close its Orange County office, he decided to go into partnership with a Pereira colleague. Together they worked on academic buildings until they were approached to design apartments. From there, they went on to single-family dwellings.
It was Hidey's first brush with the world of merchant builders who were transforming this part of Southern California from orange groves and cattle land to housing tracts and commercial centers. When his partner moved east, Hidey went on alone, designing Spanish-style houses in the Moreno Valley. "They were all doing this post-modern craziness, pink houses with white trim, it just didn't make any sense. We've got this great heritage here, why isn't somebody taking it more seriously? It's not any more complicated, it lives well. We moved the merchant builder industry into this, just took it back to the architectural heritage we have here in California."
While many architects look down on mass building, Hidey is one of a growing number who relish the challenge of creating livable, high-quality dwellings in planned communities. Orange County has become a breeding ground for pushing the envelope of what's possible. And Robert Hidey Architects, with 30 employees in two offices, is often leading the charge.
Hidey's childhood in Palos Verdes and acquaintance with Santa Barbara's mix of Spanish, Moroccan and Mission styles made him uniquely qualified to create the detailed, high-end traditional housing for which he's renowned. The firm's core philosophy is to create livable spaces that blur the division between indoor and outdoor. To this end, the designs make liberal use of courtyards and loggias, and roofed, open "California rooms" that take the place of a traditional living room.
"The rooms are like pavilions," he explains (adding that that's why his designs appeal to the Chinese). "They daylight and ventilate well." Both these qualities cut down considerably on energy consumption.
The project that put Hidey into the forefront of Orange County designers was the Mahogany community in Irvine, for which he won four Golden Nugget awards in 1996. He's credited with breaking the then-mold of houses dominated by their multi-car garages. Mahogany was remarkably successful, hitting a surprising high of $1 million per house.
Hidey's gone on to design and oversee the building of upscale tract houses in some of Orange County's most highly regarded planned communities; the Sea Crest and Nautilus tracts in Crystal Cove on a hillside above the Pacific, and projects in Shady Canyon, a gated Irvine community on rolling inland slopes where tract and custom homes can resell from a couple of million to $18 million, even in this recession. The Santa Barbara Planning Commission has used one of his custom homes in Crystal Cove as an example for builders.
Asked about the appetite for greener, more energy-efficient homes, Hidey waves a hand dismissively. "Kind of this whole bandwagon of green stuff," he says, "that's what we've always been doing, which is designing responsibly. Yes, you can overlay high-efficiency systems and recyclable product on top of a building that daylights and ventilates well, but those principles have been with me from the very beginning."
He wishes Orange County had more mixed-use developments, more neighborhoods where residents don't have to get into their cars to shop or dine out. As land prices increase and, as a result, building grows more dense, this seems less impossible to achieve.
As for the future, Hidey yearns for a more diverse portfolio, something resembling his original career with Pereira. His work in China has afforded him chances to design much larger-scale projects, such as a resort on Hainan Island, for instance. Just as his work in Orange County originally attracted his Chinese clients, he hopes the work in China will lead to more stimulating work at home.
"I kind of fell into this housing niche with merchant builders," he says. "We've made a big impact, and I think I did a lot to change it. I think I've kind of hit a wall. I want to stretch myself and the people I surround myself with."

Material Installations, Inc, a furniture installation company in North Andover, Mass., will pay an EPA fine of $34,692 for repeated violations of the Massachusetts 5-minute vehicle idling limit. The case settlement, which was filed Sept. 30, alleges that 19 idling violations occurred between 2005 and 2007.
The company operates a fleet of vehicles to make deliveries of modular furniture from its facility. Most of the violations addressed by this action were committed by other companies' delivery trucks that were allowed to idle excessively at the company's loading dock and parking lot.
Pollution from idling engines contributes to ozone smog, fine particle pollution, and increased carbon dioxide emissions. Excessive idling not only contributes to air pollution, but also wastes fuel and emits greenhouse gases. Five New England states have idling limits--Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Maine.
EPA offers assistance to companies and facilities in implementing alternatives to idling. Idling typically wastes almost a gallon of fuel per hour, and puts more wear and tear on an engine than driving, the agency notes. Driver education, improved pick-up and delivery logistics, and automatic shutdown systems are just a few of the many ways that businesses can reduce vehicle idling.

TEFL Peculiarities of the English Language
The English language was created in England. Throughout history, this language has spread to many parts of the world. It is used as a link language for International business and diplomacy.
According to Madhukar N. Gate, it has taken thousands of words from other languages such as French, Latin, German, Greek and so on. We can even find Sanskrit words in English. For example: Guru and Pundit are two Sanskrit words used in English. English grammar is quite simple, in many languages nouns have grammatical gender which makes some verbs and adjectives change. This doesn?t happen in English. The adjective ?big? is used with all nouns such as man, woman, child, book etc, as well as applying to both singular and plural nouns.
Counting large numbers in English is very simple. For example, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, etc forms a series. The next one is thirty-one, thirty-two, twenty-three etc. In other languages, numbers are unrelated and have to be memorized. English has changed some words, which hurt some peoples feelings. For example the word ?Christian name? when many Hindus and Muslims started using English, as it became awkward. So the word Christian was changed to First name. The word Negro caused some offense and was changed to Black person.
About two hundred years ago, Americas leaders changed some spelling. For example British spelling c-o-l-o-u-r was changed to American spelling c-o-l-o-r and a student writing the word (sell) as s-e-l would loose marks in his/her exams. There are certain characteristics of English that cause problems to non native English speakers. These are some of the most common examples that I found during my research, written by Curtis R. Brautigam: The verb-adverb combination is peculiar to English such as ?turn on?, ?turn off? or ?mark down?. In other languages, single specific verbs are used in place of the English verb-adverb combination. A combination like ?turn off? is problematic because in English it has several meanings. You can turn off a light, or you can use the word ?turn off? when talking about something repulsive. Another peculiarity is the verb ?to do? .In many languages the verb ?to do? and ?to make? have the same meaning. In English they are different, which means that sometimes phrases like ?Do you speak English?? can cause problems to non native English speakers.
I also found very curious that when it comes to translating English into other languages, sometimes the size of the text increases when we translate from English to certain Western European languages, and other times decreases when we translate from English to Hebrew for example. I find this fact very fascinating. I also wanted to include this piece of article that I found during my research written by Bill Bryson where he mentions that some people think that in English it is not correct to end a phrase with a preposition. He spoke about Winston Churchill who was editing a proof of one of his books, when he noticed that an editor had rearranged one of his sentences, so it wouldn?t end with a preposition, so he scribbled in the margin ?This is the sort of English up with which I will not put?. Another example that I personally thought was amusing is this dialogue occurred in a place called Hahvahd: ?Excuse me, where is the library at?? ?Here at Havhavd we never finish a sentence with a preposition? ?O.K. Excuse me, where is the library at, a**hole??
In conclusion, what I find so remarkable is how being a native English speaker we articulate in such different dialects and how the English language has such different grammar rules compared to other languages.

What exactly is Madara implying about the Sage of Six Paths?
Since Chapter 646 is currently the latest chapter, the question will be in spoilers.
My question specifically pertains to whether or not all shinobi descended from the Sage of Six Paths. Is this what Madara is implying in the last panel of this picture: "[...] in effect, taught us all chakra..."?
I think there are multiple ways to interpret this. One is that all shinobi are related to Kaguya, meaning everyone related knows how to use chakra.
And the second way is that if one knows how to use chakra, then all their offspring will be born into the world able to use chakra. Therefore the Sage of Six Paths can simply teach others how to use chakra and then everyone else knows.
There were probably some words lost in translation, so I am just confused now.
Did all shinobi descend from the Sage of Six Paths or did the Sage simply just teach others how to use chakra?

I am Madara and I don't know what he meant there. :P I guess that's a hole to be filled at a later point. – Madara Uchiha Sep 10 '13 at 20:50
At the moment there might not be a definite answer for this question, so here's mine based on my own interpretation of the chapter (with little or no evidence to back up) which might likely become obsolete owing to any twist in plot later on
Chakra was initially an entity unrelated to humans or their physique until Otsutsuki Kaguya ate the Shinju's fruit and caused the inception of a generation where it would be a part of the human body (as a chakra system). Secondly, Otsutsuki Hagoromo aka the Sage of Six Paths, the immediate successor inherited Kaguya's chakra and was likely the root from which the generation of shinobi branched out. Further his likely mastery over the Juubi and becoming the first Bijuu could likely be attributed to the real beginning of shinobi who further learn to mix physical energy with chakra to create elemental energy (something perhaps, the Sage might have practised first and preached on to the subsequent generations). At many points it is also mentioned that the Sage had two sons who later on branched out into Senju and Uchiha. However though the Sage might be essentially the first to truly realize the power of chakra, it is very much possible that Otsutsuki Kaguya could have other children who might have inherited the gift of chakra and could have possibly been the root of other shinobi clans.

I believe that this brings up a minor plot hole in the series.
It is known that anyone can become a ninja because everyone has chakra. It is also said that if one runs out of chakra, they die. However, Kaguya was said to have rated the fruit and obtained the chakra, while the Sage of Six Paths was said to be, along with his brother, the first to be born with chakra. This then raises the question of how the people that lived during and before the Sage and Kaguya survived.
Later in the manga, it was said that the Sage spread his teachings to the people and used his chakra to connect all people in the world so that they could understand each other. However, eventually, they used his chakra to blend their own spiritual and physical energies together to form their own chakra, which they used as weapons for war.
From this, I have formulated a speculation: From the first generation who learned to weaponize their own chakra, their descendants were then born with chakra. However, that raises the question as to what about those that did not receive the Sage's teachings. As it was stated that everyone has chakra to some degree, I would assume that either those that did not learn directly from the Sage learned from others and later formed their own jutsu, or that those who did not develop chakra were killed off, much like animals which do not evolve in the wild.

When ever we think of destination wedding goa we always find ourself excited as we all know its party all night ! Yes this wedding we shot has same vibrance and energy to it. Full on party ! Have a look at these images and please take time to read the background story.
Please keep this in mind I do not have any wrong intentions by sharing this story but I want you to understand how much we love shooting and what most of the wedding couple miss out.
Shooting this wedding was real fun and exciting to start off with. We knew it was action packed events.
Day one of this beautiful destination wedding goa, where we were shooting pool party and cocktail hour as per contract. This day was raining heavily, all the team was shooting with umbrellas on ! (Yes, it was risking our whole gear for capturing).
Coming back to the story, rain wasn't the challenging part of this shoot. Painful or Challenging or frustrating part was, all the events scheduled after the pool party started 4 to 6 hours late. There may be many valid reasons but it doesn't help. We do understand in India how things normally work. Yes, we expect delays but let's say a hour which is still ok, we have to be practical its our IST. But just waiting 6 hours was ridiculous and extending 6 hours of the schedule isn't easy when you have a jam packed events back to back.
We all have experienced what waiting could do to you. Waiting isn't easy, you loose all concentration, patience, less sleep for next events and hell lot of caffeine. Did I try telling the clients yes I did.
What i like to point out, delay will effects what we really plan to capture at your wedding. It might be the sunset we want capture for you or the sunrise ! Keeping calm and focused is very hard.
Ended our day one at 3am, the next day groom & bride making delayed by another 4 hours, and the wedding by 6 hours. Post wedding reception by 4 hours. I remember i slept at 4.30am woke by 5.40am and shot the couple session on the beach. I and JT shot the beach shoot for 1 hour and it rained heavily after. Definitely we made a afford that we could capture some good portraits, but that feeling we missed many great portraits is hard to digest!
If you notice keenly, we don't have many creative wedding couple shots in this wedding. Practically speaking we had no time to do them! It was either too late couple or totally they were totally exhausted after dancing.
Hopefully this story , helps you to the plan your wedding schedule on time. Please don't be that bride or groom "this wouldn't never happen to me!" Make sure it wouldn't. Keep a plan B for everything. This is out of our experience as destination wedding photographer and shooting many destination weddings.
We do suggest our clients many tips on our blog , on our instagram posts and our pre wedding discussions, but make sure you have time for couple portraits.

The Second Stanhope Ministry was the ninth ministry of the Government of the Australian Capital Territory, and was led by Labor Chief Minister Jon Stanhope and his deputies Ted Quinlan (2004–2006) and Katy Gallagher (2006–2008). It was sworn in on 4 November 2004, following the Labor government's landslide re-election at the 2004 election. The retirement of veteran member Bill Wood at the election created a vacancy in the ministry, and backbencher John Hargreaves, who had polled exceptionally well at the election, was appointed to fill the position.

There were several changes during the term of this ministry. The first, albeit minor, changes in March 2005 saw Deputy Chief Minister Quinlan pick up several new portfolios. A much greater change occurred in April 2006 when Quinlan's retirement from politics sparked a major reshuffle and the appointment of a new minister in Andrew Barr. A final change occurred in April 2007, when Simon Corbell was stripped of his responsibilities for planning after publicly criticising Chief Minister Stanhope over his handling of the area, and Stanhope chose to reactivate an environment and climate change ministry.

The ministry was replaced by the Third Stanhope Ministry after the Labor government's re-election at the 2008 election.

First arrangement

This covers from the period from 4 November 2004 (when the ministry was sworn in) until 20 April 2006. There was one minor change during this term when, six months later on 2 March 2005, additional ministries were added to Quinlan's responsibilities, covering the ministries of business, tourism, sport and recreation and racing and gaming. This arrangement continued until the retirement of Ted Quinlan that resulted in a major reshuffle of the ministry, and the appointment of Andrew Barr to fill the subsequent vacancy, as outlined in the second arrangement.

Second arrangement

This covers the period from 20 April 2006, when Andrew Barr was sworn in following the retirement of Ted Quinlan, through until the swearing in of the Third Stanhope Ministry following the Labor government's re-election at the 2008 election. There was one minor change during this term when, twelve months later on 17 April 2007, Stanhope assumed the expanded ministry of environment, water and climate change; the ministry for children and young people was restored to Gallagher's responsibilities; and the planning ministry transferred from Corbell to Barr.
