R E N Yum!! It’s official! Purple Pinkie Donut (PPD) Chair John Downs of District R 6780 has announced final numbers for this year’s Polio Eradication effort. Five districts participated from Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi. With the contest just concluding, over 5,400 boxes of PPD were sold, raising over $950,000 toward Rotary’s #1 campaign, to eliminate the polio virus from O the face of the earth. Out of almost 300 Clubs in all five districts, the Dothan Rotary Club finished FIRST in overall sales with 327 boxes. Since the donuts were donated to Rotary free of charge by Dunkin Donuts, 100% T of the money raised will go to fight polio. Some of those responsible for this great accomplishment were: President James Ethredge, District Governor Dell Goodwin, Jeni Logan and District Governor Elect Bruce A McNeal. District 6780 East TN began this fundraiser just four years ago. To date, all donations and matching funds have raised approximately $2,000,000. R Y Next, Julia explained that when Rotarians go to third world W countries to vaccinate children against the wild polio virus, they place two droplets of the Bivalent A oral poliovirus vaccine (bOPV) into each child’s mouth. In order to keep track of who has been R vaccinated, they put a purple mark on the child’s finger. This is where the Purple Pinkie Campaign came from. R E P N R Pictured to the right are Rotary International Past- O President Mark Maloney and his wife, Gay, purchasing their share of Purple Pinkie Donuts. T Many thanks to Julia for sharing this creative but lucrative A project that Rotarians initiated. R Julia wanted to encourage all of us to think about what we can do to support the End Polio Now campaign! Y of the job W A Dallas Woodall has always been a R wonderful speaker. This week, when asked Their partne to share his life story with us, he told us to sit back and get comfortable, because he R had 83 years to get through! Dallas’ father was a Presbyterian minister in Girard when Dallas was a young E child. As a result, he and his family moved around a good bit. Dallas was born at Northside Hospital in Youngstown but later N lived in Iowa City, Vienna, and Buffalo, Alabama, where he graduated second in his high school class of students. One memorable moment from his senior year was when Dean Martin came out with his hit R “That’s Amore”. After graduating, Dallas transitioned to Birmingham-Southern College, a liberal arts school. He soon met his future O wife, Velma, and they went on to get married and have three children. Early in his career, Dallas worked for several hardware stores, where T one customer was family of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black. Dallas also served as a township clerk. At the age of 27, he decided to go to law school at The Ohio State University. When he graduated, many of his A fellow students were opting for the highest paying jobs in places like Minneapolis. However, Dallas chose to return to Trumbull County, where he was eventually offered a job working with Frank Bodor and Tom Leffingwell. R Dallas remains in practice in Warren, Ohio today. Dallas joined the Rotary Club of Warren in 1978, but he stated that he wasn’t very active in his early years as a member. About 10 years later, Dick Mahaffey asked Dallas to succeed him as president of the Club (1989 – Y 1990). He would later go on to serve as District Governor. His involvement in Rotary has provided many opportunities to travel. He has walked on the Great Wall of China, snorkeled in the Barrier Reef, visited Venezuela, and been to the Taj Mahal, to name a few. Dallas has also been active with the Boy Scouts.

  • Rays Clips 5-8-10
    RAYS CLIPS May 8, 2010 May 7, 2010 Tampa Bay Rays open series in Oakland by improving to 13-1 on road By Marc Topkin, Times Staff Writer Some lineup tweaks pay off as Tampa Bay keeps up its astonishing start. OAKLAND, Calif. - The decisions are made for various reasons, whether it be recent play, complex data and statistical matrixes, or even an occasional old-fashioned hunch. Friday, manager Joe Maddon said he kept Willy Aybar in the lineup because he looked good the night before and he likes his swings against left-handed pitchers. And he put Sean Rodriguez in the lineup, ahead of Ben Zobrist, based on research of Rodriguez's success against Oakland starter Gio Gonzalez in the minor leagues (4-for-5). And as good as the Rays are going, it only figures both ended up delivering key hits in the 4-1 victory that improved their baseball-best record to 22-7. "Pretty nice,'' Maddon said. David Price had something to do with it, too, sputtering a bit early but going on to pitch into the eighth in dominating style, allowing only three hits, to improve to 4-1. And when he left, after a career-high 119 pitches, with the bases loaded and two outs, Randy Choate took it from there. "David's the story,'' Maddon said. "We get that kind of starting pitching once again.'' Choate did his job twice, actually, as Evan Longoria's throwing error on the first ground ball Choate got from Daric Barton allowed a run to score. But Choate came back and got another, getting Ryan Sweeney to bounce out to shortstop Jason Bartlett.

Flannery: Affairs of the Heart Articles AFFAIRS OF THE HEART* MICHAEL T. FLANNERY** Baseball will be linked forever with family. Baseball is reminis- cent of fathers and sons holding hands as they enter their first ballpark together, bonding as they crack open peanuts, reach for foul balls, and cheer for their hometown heroes. While the con- cept of "Yankee" baseball particularly epitomizes these ideals, it also conjures images of sex, scandal, Hollywood stars, and tragic downfalls. In the minds of many, Yankee heroes are gods. Ultimately, however, they are just mortal men. And mortal men do not escape the randomness of life's adversities. All of our Yankee heroes have confronted the same personal issues that almost all families face, including death, divorce, custody debates, estate squabbles, domes- tic controversies, and drug addictions. For Yankee players in partic- ular, it seems the list is all too familiar. In dealing with family issues, many of our Yankee heroes have responded poorly.

  • An Analysis of the Impersonal You in Interviews of MLB Players and Managers
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk An Analysis of the Impersonal You in Interviews of MLB Players and Managers. Daniel TEUBER† Abstract The impersonal you, similar to the impersonal pronoun one, is used in making generalizations or in situations where a subject is needed for the grammaticality of a sentence. This paper looks at the use of the impersonal you in interviews with Major League Baseball（MLB） players and managers. In answering questions about their personal involvement in particular game events, players and managers will at times answer in generalizations using the impersonal you. First, possible reasons for this generalization strategy are examined, including to make a case for cultural norms（in the context of baseball）, to make sense of their experiences in a broader context, or to distance themselves from the situation. Second, a corpus of MLB interviews was created to explore the extent of this usage, and to compare the usage of personal you with impersonal you. 1. Introduction The Oxford Advanced User’s Dictionary（Hornby and Deuter） provides three definitions for the pronoun you. The first definition,“refer ［ring］ to the person or people being spoken to or written to: Can I sit next to you?” is probably the meaning of the word that comes to mind for most people. It is also the most likely meaning of the word that a student learning English as a foreign language will encounter. The second definition, “used with nouns and adjectives to speak to somebody directly: You † 大阪産業大学 国際学部 講師 草 稿 提 出 日 10月28日 最終原稿提出日 12月 6 日 55 大阪産業大学論集 人文・社会科学編 32 girls: stop talking!” differs from the first in the way that it is used grammatically （as a modifier rather than as a pronoun）, yet it maintains the same meaning of “the person being spoken to.” Because of this shared meaning, both usages will be referred to as the“personal you” in this paper.

  • SMOLTZ and JOHNSON.Pub
    Two Babe Ruth Graduates Join Hall of Fame Class of 2015 Babe Ruth graduates Randy Johnson (Livermore, CA BRL) and John Smoltz (Lansing, MI BRL) were elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in a blockbuster vote by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Hall of Fame candidates needed 412 votes, or 75 percent of the 549 ballots cast by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Johnson, a five-time Cy Young Award winner with 303 victories and 4,875 strikeouts, was selected on 534 of the 549 ballots (97.3%). The percentage for the left-hander was the eighth highest in the history of voting. Smoltz, the 1996 NL Cy Young winner, the only pitcher with 200 wins and 150 saves, was picked on 455 ballots (82.9%). “The Hall of Fame was never something that I surely ever thought about,” said Johnson, who has been pursuing a photography career since his retirement. “I don’t think people quite understand how difficult it is to be 6-foot-10 and be throwing a ball 60 feet, 6inches away,” Johnson added. “In order to do that, you have to be consistent with your release point and where you’re landing and your arm slot and all that. For someone 6-1, 6-2, there’s less body to keep under control, so it’s a lot easier.” In 22 seasons (playing for six teams, primarily the Seattle Mariners and the Arizona Diamondbacks), Johnson led his league in strikeouts nine times, earned four ERA titles and recorded 100 complete games to go along with 37 shutouts.
