Learning, planning, and the development of inner control are some of the most important functions of the brain's cortex. Successful development of these skills ultimately depends upon the physiological maturation of the brainstem (myelination of the extrapyramidal nerve net) through early movements and sensory motor integration, which lie at the foundation of human development. Movement, behavioral and learning challenges often result when reflex patterns do not develop properly, are immature, and/or are poorly integrated in comparison with typical patterns of development. In addition, primary reflex patterns may not function appropriately following significant life stressors and/or trauma that children and adults may experience. In fact, data collected from thousands of MNRI® assessments over the past 20 years demonstrate that as the number of non-integrated primary motor reflex patterns in neurotypical children increase, the number and severity of learning challenges correspondingly increases. This course explores the role reflexes play in developing higher order cognitive functions including focusing, long-term memory, rational thinking, planning, academic learning and decision-making. Understanding this connection, combined with the knowledge of MNRI® techniques for re-patterning and integrating dysfunctional or poorly integrated reflexes, can help children and adults move closer to reaching their fullest learning potentials and social/emotional growth.
Describe how the Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI®) method is based on activation of the innate nature of the sensory-motor reflex system to increase self-regulation.
Explain how the eight archetypal movements as first biomechanics of motor development can restore healthy neurosensorimotor integration of reflex patterns, motor coordination, and skills affecting optimal emotional and cognitive functioning, and neurodevelopment overall.
Explore the role of a reflex and its sensory, motor and central nervous system connections in the development of feeling safety.
Explain how the brain engages in protection and negative survival vs open style of learning and development.
Explore the physiological and psychological basis for primary sensory-motor reflexes and their maturational stages in the development of a sense of wellbeing.
Explain the maturational role primary motor reflexes play in the motor system and the effect of dysfunction on learning, behavior, social, emotional, and physical skills and development.
Describe the maturational role primary sensory-motor reflexes play in developing advanced cognitive skills and behavioral regulation.
Explore the maturational role primary sensory-motor reflexes play in the formation of specific academic and social skill sets that affect self-regulation in a classroom setting.
Explain how the lack of consistent development of primary sensory-motor reflex patterns and archetypal movements impact the development of positive learning, behavioral and social skills.
10. Analyze the impact integration (vs delayed maturation) of each reflex can have on learning skills, including motor skills, communication skills, cognitive development, emotional and behavioral regulation and general over-all academic achievement.
11. Apply and practice direct hands-on training designed to activate and integrate each of the 13 reflexes introduced in this class.
12. Describe the specific MNRI® techniques used in dealing with unique and challenging situations in the classroom as well as specific techniques for working with children and adults diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Genetic Disorders, Anxiety, PTSD, and other challenges.
13. Explore how to use the knowledge received in this class in large and small group situations as well as on an individual basis.
14. Describe strategies on how to incorporate the techniques learned in this course for use in developing a plan of care and specific home programs.
15. Apply and practice hands-on training provided for each of the eight archetypal movements Described in this course.
16. Apply and practice hands-on training provided for the following reflexes: Robinson Hands Grasp, Pyramid Finger Activation, Sequential Fingers Opening and Closing, Hands Supporting, Foot Tendon Guard, Automatic Gait, Bauer Crawling, Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex, Spinal Galant, Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex, Bonding, Fear Paralysis, Eye Tracking.
Hour 4--Reflex integration links involved in the development of overall learning skills.
Hour 4--Robinson Hands Grasp and Sequential Fingers opening reflexes.
Hour 7--Techniques review and activities incorporating MNRI techniques.

Asia Cup: Sri Lanka Defeat Pakistan By 23 Runs In Final
Sri Lanka produced a clinical all-round performance to beat Pakistan by 23 runs in the final to win the Asia Cup 2022 title at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, here on Sunday.
This is Sri Lanka's sixth Asia Cup title. After losing their opening game against Afghanistan, they beat Bangladesh, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan and then again Pakistan to clinch the 2022 Asia Cup.
An impressive fighting fifty by Bhanuka Rajapaksa (71 not out off 45) and an attacking knock by Wanindu Hasaranga (36 off 21) propelled Sri Lanka to 170/6 in 20 overs. Apart from Rajapaksa and Hasaranga, Dhananjaya de Silva (28 off 21) and Chamika Karunaratne (14 not out off 14) also played vital knocks for Sri Lanka, during their stay at the crease.
For Pakistan, Haris Rauf (3/29) was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets to his name while Iftikhar Ahmed (1/21), Shadab Khan (1/28) and Naseem Shah (1/40) were the other wicket-takers.
Chasing a challenging total, Mohammad Rizwan hit a decent half-century (55 off 49) and along with Iftikhar Ahmed (32 off 31) to keep Pakistan alive in the game before getting out. However, there weren't many contributions from other batters as Pakistan were bowled out for 147 in 20 overs, losing by 23 runs.
Pramod Madushan (4/34) and Wanindu Hasaranga (3/27) were the highest-wicket takers for Sri Lanka while Chamika Karunaratne (2/33) and Maheesh Theekshana (1/25) also chipped in with a crucial wicket.
Brief scores: Sri Lanka 170/6 in 20 overs (Bhanuka Rajapaksa 71 not out, Wanindu Hasaranga 36; Haris Rauf 3/29) beat Pakistan (Mohammad Rizwan 55, Iftikhar Ahmed 32; Pramod Madushan 4/34, Wanindu Hasaranga 3/27) by 23 overs
It's finally ours! 👊👊🇱🇰

You better believe I have tried anyandeverything under the sun to get my weight and health under control.
The problem with all of the things I've tried, I've never really had an accountability buddy to keep me motivated!
Luckily, I have finally found the perfect new program for couples, The FocoBody 360 Plan for couples!
On a daily basis, each participant receives an email containing a daily reminder to access their Precision Nutrition coaching website to review their daily lesson, exercise and habit building reminders. Every week, participants will receive an additional lesson on where to focus and how to leverage their relationship as a couple to support each other in reaching their health goals, while accelerating their success!
You will also receive a monthly 1 to 2 hour coaching session with your mentors, along with 4 webinars to address questions and concerns.
***You will also receive 2 free Apple Watches in order to track your heart rate, exercises, and daily caloric usage.*** This helps the mentors monitor your progress.
If you are interested in learning more, you can find their free ebook here, Gut Matters, and that will get you well on your way! My husband and I really love it so far and hope you do as well!
I agree! It really helps to have someone motivating you to keep going when working out -- and by encouraging your exercise buddy, it's also in a way, encouraging yourself, too!
It's definitely a win-win and I think I have finally found a program that will work for us!
I never heard about this program! Looks ideal for people who need a mentor!
Absolutely and what better mentor/accountability partner than your spouse! Team work, high five!
Oh goodness, yes! I stay so much more motivated when I'm working out with a friend or one of my sisters!
Definitely, so much more motivated!
This is so true! A mentor or accountability partner goes a long way!
All the way to reach my goals!
This sounds so great! Accountability is definitely a great way to really stick with working out and eating healthy!
It really is and it makes it a lot more fun!
I'm so glad you found what works for you! It took going to a holistic doctor for me to really drop the weight and feel better. I was having so many health issues. Now 10 months later I'm feeling much better and I'm 45lbs lighter. Lots of clean eating!
This looks like a great idea. It is really hard on your own. Good luck with it!
I need all of the luck I can get, lol!
It's so true!! Having a fitness buddy really helps motivate, makes exercise more interesting, and keeps us accountable. Great post!
It definitely makes it more fun!
Definitely, I love this program because it not only helps get you in good physical shape with your partner, but it also helps your relationship become healthier as well!
I also agree that having a companion or buddy during gym time is essential for you to be motivated and also it will not be boring for you. Thank you for sharing this program.

A day in celebration of Columbia's empowered women
By Larissa Johnson | Mar 9, 2018
The 10 women honored by the Women's Rights and Empowerment Network at its second annual luncheon range from gynecologists to CEOs.
Each 2018 Women's International Day Luncheon honoree received a custom watercolor painted by a local artist.
By Lexi Hill and Larissa Johnson
When Patricia Moore-Pastides first met Stephanie Cooper-Lewter, she was having her third child, working and starting a PhD. "I've always been very impressed with Stephanie," said Moore-Pastides.
Cooper-Lewter was left at an orphanage as a baby, one of thousands of baby girls abandoned each year in India because boys are considered more desirable.
"I had always been really aware that gender and being a girl influenced my life trajectory," she said.
After being adopted into an American family, Cooper-Lewter pursued a career path helping other ignored and marginalized parts of society. She was honored by the Women's Rights and Empowerment Network at its second annual International Women's Day luncheon after serving nonprofits throughout the Midlands like the Sisters of Charity Foundation.
10 South Carolina women, ranging from gynecologists to CEOs, were honored at the luncheon for their contributions to women's rights and well-being in the Palmetto State.
For Moore-Pastides, that mentor relationship between her and Cooper-Lewter is what makes events like WREN's International Women's Day Luncheon so important.
"If this is an example of the relationships between all of the women in the room, that's exceedingly positive," she said.
Named after a small, often overlooked bird, WREN's main goal is to create a network, or nest, of empowered women. Since starting in 2016, they've grown their nest to include about 27,000 women.
"We just want to make sure that we're networking the whole state together — one big nest," said Lara Winburn, director of development.
Last year's luncheon sold out, with 90 attendees. The 2018 luncheon was held at Stone River to accommodate more than 180 women and their guests.
"I only see other lawyers all day, so for me to see these other women in other fields, it's just so exciting and happy," honoree Marissa Burnette said. "It really broadens my perspective."
Malissa Burnette, a 2018 honoree, continues her 40-year work of defending women and other marginalized groups in the courts.
Burnette has worked for over 40 years defending women and the LGBT community in cases like getting the Citadel to accept women and the marriage equality suit. Now, she said, she's seeing more sexual harassment cases.
"Of all the types of discrimination, I've found that people did not take sexual harassment seriously," Burnette said. "It's as if men in particular did not think it was really wrong."
Early in her career as a lawyer, Burnette was pulled onto judge's lap as he pet her on the head.
"I want to encourage young women to get all of the education they can, in whatever field they want to practice in or be in, so that people have respect for them," she said.
For a state that is ranked 46th for worst gender equality, an organization like WREN is the first step to moving up.
As Ann Warner, the CEO of WREN said, "If you go out on a limb, we've got your back."
So it's only fitting that the theme for the 2018 International Women's Day is #pushforprogress, a principle that WREN has been fighting for since Day 1.
WREN board chair Jennet Robinson said it all in her toast to the honorees:
"To all the women who have gone before us, to all the women in this room who are doing it, and all the women in the future — because we're going to bring them along with us. We're going to pull them up and change the culture in South Carolina for women and girls. Cheers."

Of course I understand that everyone should have an eye exam at ~6 months of age. We should also have one at about age 3 and then every year after. Sure, many adults can reasonably go every 2 years. The goal of the AOA's InfantSeeTM is that all 6 month olds should have an eye exam, and that eye exam should be free.
What??? Aren't the practice consultants constantly telling us to value our time, charge fees for the services we provide, be willing to raise fees, and don't give away exams, low fees or no fee devalues our services and expertise?
If that's true, why does the AOA expect us all to become InfantSeeTM participators so we can give the whole world a free eye exam at age 6 months? Why stop there? Let's create another organization to give away free eye exams at age 3, 4, 5,6…115.
Also, if these exams are so darn important, wouldn't it be reasonable to expect people to pay for the service?
To restate, I'm all for promoting public health issues. Sure, public health problems like an epidemic requiring meds/shots should be sponsored by the government for the greater good of not getting the rest of us sick. In a time of crisis, I'd be happy to volunteer time and resources, but I fail to see why I should give away free eye exams to 6 month olds on a routine basis. They need them anyway, so let the parents pay or use their insurance. If they can find a benefactor to pay-Great! Let me know who foots the bill because I could use a benefactor to pay off my optometry education loans!
If anyone can find a link to what any of the respected optometry practice consultants have said regarding InfantSeeTM I would appreciate it.
I am sent to your blog by some of my colleagues with whom I am working to establish a very unique practice management system that includes a refined eye care EMR. We hope to talk with you about the possibility of getting you to review the system at an early point to give it your review. But that is not the point of this post… perhaps we can email offline.
As part of my review of your notes and thoughts, I have read your comments about InfantSEE(TM) and wanted to give you some insight. First, I have been Chair of the InfantSEE developement team. I have been working with a dedicated team of optometrist volunteers who have followed a charge from former Pres. Carter to establish a no cost public health program for infants.
Fact is, the AOA Clinical Practice Guidelines have been in place for over a decade, and essentially no healthy, non-strabismic infants have been seen at six months for a complete eye and vision examination FOR A FEE. Out of that group, the best estimate from the literature is that 1 in 30 of those infants will end up with amblyopia due to small angle strabismus not detectible by an MD screening or due to significant anisometropia.
IF there had been a commitment by the optometric and ophthalmologic communities to reinforce the need for these exams, and doctors like us were doing this care already collecting a sizeable fee for our important services, then I'd accept your criticism.
Fact is, we know of only a handful of ODs nationwide that ever committed to that clinical practice. You and I both know that even exams on 3 and 5 year olds are not being done, particularly for a fee. There's a reason that SEE TO LEARN has been successful, and that is that doctors don't see themselves charging for services that they feel are base-level. That's part of the OD psyche that you point to in your blog.
So, as a "practice management consultant" myself, and with my view of the value that InfantSEE gives to the public well-being, I will tell you that the time commitment is a reasonable investment. AOA never said that it expected 100% of members to participate. We know that this will only be something that 40 or 50% will want to do.
If you want to pursue your angle and you feel that charging for six month old exams makes optometry better respected and simultaneously affects public awareness of the need for early and periodic professional eye care, please do that. Our research, including highly qualifed focus groups and reviews of the state of the public awareness, says that ODs who participate will be respected for their service and will at very least create a more educated populace than has ever existed.
I hope you might email me for further discussions.

CityVille growing so fast when virality is dead on Facebook">
Watch out Mexico City, here comes CityVille!
The big news in Facebook games this weekend is just how fast Zynga's CityVille is growing. As of this morning, CityVille has grown to 22 million monthly active users (MAUs) and over 7 million daily active users) making it the second largest city in the world.
Why is CityVille growing so fast when virality is dead on Facebook as pundits (such as myself) like to say?
Aside for the fact that it's a very good game, Chris Morrison of Inside Social Games lists 4 reasons for the success of the game so far:
Cross promotion: Zynga is promoting CityVille like crazy on the bar atop of it's other popular games as well as co-promotion within its juggernaut hit FarmVille. When you have 250 million gamers you can co-promote you, you have an advantage of every small game developer out there. Of course, this strategy works if Zynga players continue to play CityVille and their other games. If you are just robbing FarmVille to feed CityVille, what's the point (someone with more time than myself and a better inclination for numbers should run the analysis and ping me).
Localization: Zynga launched the game in 6 different languages and international growth is definitely fueling the game. Curiously, Zynga picked 6 European languages to release the game in when it was obvious that a game about urban planning and growing skyscrapers would be an obvious hit in the fast-growing Asian countries of the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Inside Social Games estimates that only a quarter of the game players in CityVille are American. A reason why Zynga ignored non-European languages at launch is that though growth in social games is coming from Asia, those countries are notoriously more difficult to monetize (meaning, players less likely to pay to play) then in Europe. There are also a lot more languages and dialects to translate to in that region of the world.
It's a good game: The joke among game reviewers for social games is that game developers don't launch a game in beta when they launch on Facebook; they launch it in alpha. This was not the case with this game which as I mentioned in my CityVille preview, was more polished and a deeper game at launch than most games we review that have been out a year. Most game companies can't get rid of all the bugs before launch because they don't the luxury of time or internal scale to test before launch. With 1300 employees and a zillion dollars in the bank, Zynga has that luxury.
Working the system (Inside Social Games' words, I must cite and that I like). Though Facebook frowns on game companies designing games around its communication channels, Zynga continues to push it to the limit. They are not breaking any of Facebook's rules because they would not risk being banned by Facebook, but they are not being shy about asking you to invite and share with your friends on Facebook in every possible way. When Zynga is not trying to get you to spread the game through your Facebook friends, they are communicating with you through Zynga mail every … possible … moment.
When you combine all the ways you can communicate with friends to move up in the game through Facebook and through Zynga mail and their toolbar, it is fair to say that Zynga is pushing virality more with CityVille regardless of what Facebook's policies are. And with 20 million users so far in the game, there is nothing Facebook can do about it. Seriously, what are they doing to, take down CityVille and make 20 million Facebook users angry? No way.
Does that mean CityVille is a success? Indeed it is, but with great fanfare comes great expectations. True, CityVille is the fastest growing game for Zynga. But there was no doubt in anyone's mind that the game would not be as successful as FrontierVille with 20 million MAUs. The questions remain: Will CityVille be as successful as FarmVille (60 million MAUs)? Will it be successful on the iPhone and iPad when it launches later on those devices? If the answer is no to either of those questions, CityVille will still be a success but not as big of one as Zynga hoped.

5 Russian Makers in India
STEEL-WILLED: URALMASH
Russian heavy equipment maker Uralmash began its India innings in the 1950s, supplying the Bhilai Metallurgical plant with rolling mill machinery. Since then, it has supplied equipment to Coal India for mines, Kudankulam nuclear power plant, and Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) plants in Bhilai, Bokaro and Rourkela. Last year, the company announced a JV collaboration with SRB International — the first Indo-Russian JV in manufacturing heavy equipment for the steel and mining sector in India. The head of exports at Uralmash, Vladimir Pugach is quoted as saying the company is looking to invest close to $5- 6 million every year in the new company "Uralmash SRB India".
STEP ON THE GAS: GAZPROM
Russian natural gas giant Gazprom Group and Gas Authority of India Ltd. (GAIL) signed a 20-year long Sales and Purchase Agreement in 2012 for LNG supply. The agreement stated that GAIL would get 2.5 million tons of LNG per year. In April 2017, the Russian Deputy Ministry of Energy reiterated the agreement stating that Gazprom will begin supplying LNG from 2018-19 for 20 years. At BRICS 2016 held in Goa, Gazprom and Engineers India Ltd signed an MoU to carry out a joint study of LNG supply routes from Russia to India.
POWER ON: ROSATOM
Rosatom is a Russian engineering company that engages in construction of nuclear power facilities abroad. It has helped build the two power units and VVER-1000 reactor facilities at the iconic Kudankulam NPP, India's largest nuclear power plant. While India now runs Unit 1 and 2, the foundation of Unit 3 and 4 has already been laid.
HEAVY ROLLERS: SILOVYE MASHINY
Russia's leading hydro, thermal, gas and nuclear power plant equipment producer, Silovye Mashiny commissioned the first of four units of the Tehri Hydro Power Plant. This is the first unit of India's largest hydroelectric power plant in the north of India. The company also provided technical assistance and supply equipment for the construction of Sipat Thermal power plant in Chhattisgarh and the Barh TTP in Bihar.
CRUISE CONTROL: BRAHMOS
BrahMos Aerospace, named after the river Brahmaputra in India and the Moskva river in Russia, was set up as a joint venture in 1998. The first BrahMos missile was successfully test-fired in 2001."When it comes to Make in India, it has been very successful in our case," says Dr Sunil Mishra, CEO BrahMos Aerospace, citing the equal partnership between both countries. "When it comes to technology and manufacturing, then the Brahmos example is cited all over the world."

IT IS SNOWING AGAIN IN NEW YORK.
Published on January 21, 2014 by i forgot my mantra.
Looking out my window, it is just cloud of white. It's not big, wet, chunky snow–more like cold, biting snow. I can tell. But I'm okay with it. I know that when I leave work tonight, the city will be blanketed. And when it wears a blanket of snow, it is quiet. And peaceful. And it looks tidy.
Of course, the prettiness fades away quickly–but that's okay.

China to shut down outmoded factories in polluting industries
Published Wednesday, March 05, 2008
China's premier promised on Wednesday to reduce emissions, conserve energy and shut down outmoded and inefficient factories in heavily polluting industries such as electricity, coal and steel.
"We must increase our sense of urgency and intensify efforts to make greater progress," Premier Wen Jiabao said in his annual policy speech at the opening of the National People's Congress.
"First, we will implement the plan to close down backward production facilities in the electricity, steel, cement, coal and papermaking industries," Wen said. "We will also put in place a mechanism for closing down these facilities and improve and implement support policies and measures for shutting down enterprises."
China has been battling major environmental problems as its double-digit economic growth boosts manufacturing and energy industries that emit vast amounts of carbon and soot into the air. The country has 16 of the world's 20 most polluted cities.
Wen was speaking at the annual session of the congress, a legislature that adopts decisions made earlier by the Chinese leadership. The annual session gives local politicians and senior leaders chances to air grievances and quietly lobby for pet policies.
Wen also promised a renewed push to rein in an investment boom in industries seen as the worst environmental offenders.
"Haphazard investment and unneeded development projects in energy-intensive and highly polluting industries and industries with excess production capacity will be resolutely stopped," he said.
To discourage expansion in those sectors, market access will be tightened and capital requirements will be increased, he said.
China's communist leadership – long indifferent to the environmental cost of the country's economic boom – has become more sensitive to pollution complaints after being stung by a series of high-profile accidents that polluted rivers, disrupting water supplies to major cities.
Farmers throughout the country have protested over pollution that has tainted water supplies and ruined farmland.
Fighting pollution was also a goal of some of the nearly 3,000 delegates on hand for Wen's speech.
"The environmental problem is also a problem that all countries face. Our central committee and state council, under the guidance of scientific development, have the full ability to solve those problems," said Lin Jinlong, a city mayor from prosperous Jiangsu province in eastern China.
Wen said China will also work to make major breakthroughs in key technologies for producing vehicles powered by new energy sources and to develop high-speed rail transport.
The country's growing appetite for cars, particularly in its urban areas, is adding to the industrial smog that blankets many of its larger cities. In Beijing, the site of this summer's Olympics, organisers have been debating strategies to take half of the capital's 3 million-plus vehicles off the road during the Games to combat the gray haze.
China will also step up protection of rural drinking water sources and work to provide safe drinking water for another 32 million rural residents this year, Wen said. A World Bank report said last year that three-quarters of the country's low-income households with young children had no access to piped water.
Wen said China also set a two-year goal to collect and treat 100 per cent of urban sewage in 36 large cities while improving sewage treatment elsewhere.
The premier said Beijing also wants to strengthen efforts to protect and conserve its natural resources including land, water, grasslands, and minerals. (AP)

Knowing Vin
Greatest Ever
Memorable Calls
Teams Dodgers, MLB
Positions Announcer, Ford C. Frick Award Recipient
Considered by most to be the greatest sportscaster of all time, Vin Scully called Dodger games from 1950-2016, a record 67 seasons.
Vin Scully joined Ruth, McGraw, Mack, Musial, Mays, Maddux and 50 Hall of Famers as a recipient of the Slocum Award
Vin Scully called more baseball games than any announcer in the history of the game. Starting in Brooklyn in 1950, moving to Los Angeles with the team eight years later, Scully remained with the Dodgers until 2016. It was a record 67 years, all with one club. Along the way, the
Vin Scully called more baseball games than any announcer in the history of the game. Starting in Brooklyn in 1950, moving to Los Angeles with the team eight years later, Scully remained with the Dodgers until 2016. It was a record 67 years, all with one club.
Along the way, the redhead received many awards and accolades. Among the most prestigious is the William J. Slocum Award. Inaugurated in 1930, the honor was bestowed on no less than 50 members of the Hall of Fame. Recipients in the 1930s include the likes of Babe Ruth, John McGraw, Walter Johnson and Connie Mack.
Growing up in Washington Heights section of Manhattan, Scully was a Giants fan in his youth. His favorite player was Mel Ott who received the Award in 1942.
Legendary General Manager Branch Rickey received it for his work in developing the farm system with the Cardinals. Three years after he was so honored, Rickey signed Jackie Robinson to contract with the Dodgers to break the color barrier.
Some of the best players of the next three decades went to New York to receive the prestigious Slocum Award. The list includes Stan Musial (1962), Yogi Berra (1967), Al Kaline (1973), Willie Mays (1974), Carl Yastrzemski (1980), Johnny Bench (1984), Pete Rose (1986), Reggie Jackson (1988), Tom Seaver (1989), George Brett and Nolan Ryan (both in 1994).
Then in 1995, Vin Scully made the pilgrimage to New York to join the most influential men in baseball history to receive the William B. Slocum Award.
In the collection is the plaque Scully received from the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers.
Scully's high school classmate and future MLB player Larry Miggins talks about their dream come true
Vin Scully announced 28 World Series and 21 no-hitters, none of which included his personal favorite play call. That came in a 14-8 Dodger win on May 13, 1952. To understand the magnitude of the otherwise nondescript game, we have to back to Scully's time in high school. A conversation in the
Vin Scully announced 28 World Series and 21 no-hitters, none of which included his personal favorite play call. That came in a 14-8 Dodger win on May 13, 1952.
To understand the magnitude of the otherwise nondescript game, we have to back to Scully's time in high school. A conversation in the Fordham Prep auditorium with a classmate set the stage.
Scully and his friend Larry Miggins were sharing their dreams, mapping out a future that would one day come true. In the collection is Miggins' recollection of the story that Scully often told.
"Vince Scully and I were attending Fordham Prep in 1943…At a school assembly he was sitting behind me, grabbed me by the shoulders and said, 'Larry someday you will be in the big leagues and the first time you hit a home run, I will be the announcer and tell the world about it.'
"Sure enough it happened in 1952. I was with the Cardinals and the first time we played in NY – my home town – Eddie Stanky put me in left field and I hit a home run (my first) off of Preacher Roe and beat him for the first time in two years. Scully had joined Red Barber on radio broadcasts and he actually told the whole world what happened in 1943."
Scully called Major League Baseball games for 67 years. He saw some of the greatest moments in baseball history. Through it all, he still holds the Miggins' home run as his favorite moment in baseball.
Vin Scully started with Brooklyn in 1950 and remained the voice of the Dodgers for 67 seasons

Vin Scully began his big league announcing career with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1950. Little did he know that he'd stay with the team for 67 years.
One of Scully's favorite Brooklyn players was the great Gil Hodges. The Dodger announcer always maintained that the first baseman deserved a plaque in Cooperstown, and no wonder. Hodges led all Major Leaguers at his position in hits, runs, total bases, homers and RBI during the 1950s, Scully's first decade in baseball.
In the collection is this photo of Scully and Hodges chatting away before a ball game at Brooklyn's Ebbets Field. Because of the '55 World Series ring on the ring finger of Scully's right hand, the image dates to 1956 or '57.
This photo was signed in 2016 by Scully at age 88 in his final season behind the mic. Scrolling down the this page you can see photos signed 15 years earlier with a steadier hand.
In 2001, the Dodgers named their press box in honor of Vin Scully
On April 21, 2001 the Dodgers named their press box in honor of the greatest baseball announcer of all time, Vin Scully. Shown here is a press release announcing the ceremony.

On April 21, 2001 the Dodgers named their press box in honor of the greatest baseball announcer of all time, Vin Scully. Shown here is a press release announcing the ceremony.
A luminous sign that reads "Vin Scully Press Box" was erected near the door to the box. As part of the ceremony, the Dodgers also unveiled the "Wall of Fame" in the hallway from the entrance to the seating area of the pressbox.
The following two pictures show Scully on that magical day.

Vin Scully is shown here touching the sign that bears his name near the entrance of the Dodger Stadium press box. The event took place on April 21, 2001 with the then-73 year old Scully climbing a ladder to pull off a curtain and reveal the sign.
Scully has signed and dated this photo. It is personalized to Will Smiley, the son of CooperstownExpert.com collector Jim Smiley. Two months shy of his second birthday at the time, the younger Smiley grew up around baseball.
As a sophomore in high school, he threw the first no-hitter at the newly renovated field where Jackie Robinson prepped. The previous season, the field was overgrown with weeds. The Dodgers pitched in more than a quarter of a million dollars to transform the field into a palace.
In an interview after the game Smiley said, "Jackie Robinson's number is retired by every Major League team. It's pretty neat to say that we played against the high school that he played for and it's even better to come away with a win."
Pressed to talk about his dominant performance, Smiley insisted on seeing the bigger picture.
"As an athlete we all want to compete against players and teams better than us," Smiley continued. "Muir baseball is on the rise and that's good for everyone. We were focused on winning the game. It's great throwing a no-hitter but the real thrill is playing on the same field as Jackie Robinson."
Scully walks down the press box "Wall of Fame", dedicated on April 21, 2001
In addition to naming the Dodger press box, the team also unveiled the "Walk of Fame". It is located in the hallway that leads from the entrance of the press box to the main seating area. In the collection is this picture of Vin Scully on the day of the Walk of Fame dedication. The Dodge

In the collection is this picture of Vin Scully on the day of the Walk of Fame dedication. The Dodger announcer is looking at the framed artwork of himself as seen in the reflection. This image captures Scully's first glimpse of the newly adorned walls.
Scully has signed and dated the photo to commemorate the day.
Don Zimmer earned a ring with the '55 Dodgers; here he reflects on Vin Scully's Hall of Fame career

Shown here and in the next two images is the Dodger press release announcing Vin Scully's return for his 63rd season. Lifelong baseball man Don Zimmer pens his thoughts at the bottom of the release.
Zim writes, "To think that Vinny and I started out in Brooklyn all those many years ago and he is still the announcer of the Dodgers is unbelievable!?! He's not only a Hall of Fame announcer but a dear friend. Many many fans around the world have been touched by his broadcasting. We all are looking forward to his 63rd season in the booth for the Dodgers!?! Sincerely, Don Zimmer."
When Scully left the broadcast booth in 2016 he released a statement saying, "You and I have been friends for a long time, but I know in my heart that I've always needed you more than you've ever needed me, and I'll miss our time together more than I can say. But you know what? There will be a new day and eventually a new year. And when the upcoming winter gives way to spring, rest assured, once again it will be 'time for Dodger baseball.' So this is Vin Scully wishing you a very pleasant good afternoon, wherever you may be."
Brooklyn great Carl Erskine compares Scully to mentor announcer Red Barber
Here Brooklyn hurler Carl Erskine compares Vin Scully to the announcer's mentor Red Barber. Erskine writes, "I first met Vince Scully in 1950 – he was fresh out of Fordham Univ.

Here Brooklyn hurler Carl Erskine compares Vin Scully to the announcer's mentor Red Barber.
Erskine writes, "I first met Vince Scully in 1950 – he was fresh out of Fordham Univ. I immediately looked at his red hair and said, 'This kid is a pup out of Red Barber.' How prophetic. In fact, Vin has been all that Red Barber was and more. I always felt Vin's poetic mission & description of baseball was learned at the feet of Red Barber…"

Twelve-year big league veteran Tommy Hutton signed with the Dodgers as an 18-year old 1964. Tommy Lasorda, then a scout for the team, took a look at Hutton based on a tip from a parking lot attendant.
Hutton grew up in South Pasadena, just a few miles from Chavez Ravine. The parking lot attendant was a friend of Hutton and Lasorda see his buddy play.
It worked out well for Hutton who played nearly 1,000 big league games for four teams from 1966-1981. After hanging up his spikes, Hutton remained in the game as an announcer for more than 30 years.
Here, Hutton reflects on Vin Scully in 2011.
"Having grown up in Los Angeles and listened to Vin Scully from 1958 till I signed with LA in 1964, it was a thrill to actually have him call some games I played in. Thanks to XM radio when I drive home from [announcing] a Marlins game, many times I check in on Vin Scully & the Dodgers for a trip down memory lane on my 1 hr. drive home."
Hutton added his signature to the bottom of the page.

CooperstownExpert.com's Jim Smiley covered the Dodgers for 23 years. In that time he got to know Vin Scully. The Dodger announcer was as kind in person as he seemed on the air.
How well did Scully know Smiley?
"Vin was always so friendly and approachable to everyone in the press box," Smiley said. "Despite that, the first 16 years I covered the Dodgers Vin didn't know my name."
Smiley changed that before in 2009 by giving Scully a Wheaties advertisement featuring the announcer's favorite childhood player, Mel Ott.
Before each game Smiley enjoyed dinner in the press box with stadium organist Nancy Bea Hefley. Scully often came by to visit with Hefley.
"I wrote a letter to Vin about how important our favorite player is in our youth. We can still picture him batting no matter hold old we get," Smiley said. "Part of our childhood dies when our favorite player retires. Luckily for me, my favorite Dodger was Vin."
When Scully came by one night to visit the organist, Smiley handed him the letter and the Wheaties ad. Scully was cordial in accepting it and the two went about their business.
"After dinner I was sitting in my seat in the press box and all of a sudden I hear Vin yelling my name. It might sound funny, but that was a thrill"
Scully was so touched after reading the letter that he invited Smiley into the TV booth. The two shared conversation for a half hour.
"From then on, Vin called me by name. It took me 16 years, but boy was it worth it!".
In the collection is this signed photo of Scully and Smiley in the press dining room.

Smiley and his brother Will grew up surrounded by the game, playing it since they were four years old. Both boys starred in high school.
After graduation, Jimmy attended Whitman College in Walla, Walla, Washington. An injury wiped away his freshman season. Smiley played the next two years for Whitman where he was captain and an All-Conference starting pitcher.
Smiley graduated in three years with a physics degree. With two years of eligibility remaining, Smiley was admitted to the Ivy League's Columbia University.
After successfully walking on to the baseball team, Smiley became an integral part of the Lions' bullpen. In his first season he went 3-0 with 2 saves.
His overall collegiate record was 10-3 with 4 saves.

Stories about Vin Scully
The William J. Slocum Award is one of MLB's most prestigious honors
October 3rd, 2020 Leave a comment
The oldest professional sport in the United States, baseball remains America's National Pastime to this day. The game's current leagues were flourishing soon after the end of the 1800s. Every city with a team had multiple newspapers reporting their games. Sportswriters worked from stadium press boxes describing their team's contests in great detail. The widespread news coverage helped grow the game.
In 1908 writers banded together to form the Baseball Writers Association of America. The BBWAA's founding mission was to "ensure professional working conditions for beat writers at all MLB ballparks and to promote uniformity of scoring methods.
Early in the 1900s New York City boasted three big league teams, the Giants and Dodgers of the National League, and the Highlanders – who later became the Yankees – in the American League. The Big Apple soon became the hub of the baseball world.
One of the writers who covered the New York teams was William J. Slocum. Respected for his baseball knowledge and writing ability, Slocum quickly rose to the top of his profession. Well-liked, he helped organize the New York chapter of the BBWAA.
The Bill Slocom Award is one of the most prestigious awards baseball has to offer. The little-known honor has been given to more than 50 members of the Hall of Fame.
Vin Scully and high school teammate Larry Miggins shared a magical MLB moment
May 12th, 2020 Leave a comment
Scully & MLB's Miggins played ball together in high school During the second semester of the 1943 school year, Fordham Prep High School baseball teammates Larry Miggins and Vin Scully sat in their school's auditorium sharing dreams of reaching the big leagues. While Miggins fancied himself as a future Major League player, Scully hoped to become a big league baseball announcer. The two men created a dream scenario that would come true on May 13, 1952 at Brooklyn's Ebbets Field. Miggins tells the story "Vince Scully and I were attending Fordham Prep in 1943," Miggins wrote in a letter seen at the bottom of this page. "At a school assembly he was sitting behind me, grabbed me by the shoulders and said, 'Larry someday you will be in the big leagues and the first time you hit a home run, I will be the announcer and tell the world about it.' "Sure enough it happened in 1952. I was with the Cardinals and the first time we played in NY – my home town – Eddie Stanky put me in left field and I hit a home run (my first) off of Preacher Roe and beat him for the first […]

A native of Argentina, I studied at the University of California at Berkeley with Tulio Halperin Donghi, Margaret Chowning, Jan de Vries and Carla Hesse. I work in the region where social, economic and environmental history intersect with the history of technology. Although my area of specialization is Colonial Latin America, most of the questions I ask force me to think and write comparatively, and to delve into the role of human interactions with the material world of dirt, plants, animals and energy through work and everyday objects in broad historical processes.
In my view, history has the potential to better inform our decisions about the present and future, at the very least providing living experiments about the prospects for policies and projects of all sorts that few if any impact reports or predictions based on the study of current behaviors can match. But this potential is largely being wasted, putting the practice and teaching of history at risk of being seen as increasingly irrelevant to the urgent civilizational problems posed by environmental and social crises brewing all over the planet. In research and teaching I try to remedy this.
In addition to History, I am also affiliated with the Princeton-Mellon Urban Studies Program, the Princeton Environmental Institute and the Program of Latin American Studies.
Current and Future Projects
My first book, Dreaming of Dry Land: Environmental Transformation in Colonial Mexico City, is about one of the largest and most complex environmental engineering projects in the early modern era, which aimed to desiccate the lakes that used to surround the City of Mexico. Driven by the question of why our surroundings look the way they do, this book studies the social priorities embedded in the various structures and technological decisions that comprised the drainage project. In the process, it explains how colonization actually worked on the water, land and biota (humans included).
Currently, I am working on a project tentatively entitled "Common histories: Peasants and urban plebeians in the colonization of the early modern Atlantic." This comparative project embracing Spanish, French and English settlement in the continental Americas analyzes the connection between two of the most impactful phenomena of Atlantic early modernity – colonization, and tensions over access to the basic means of direct subsistence: the commons. It seeks to answer two interconnected questions. The first is how and why over the course of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries some colonizing enterprises transferred the European institution of commons and practices of communal access to land, water and the resources in them while others did not. The second, how the resulting strength, weakness and persistence of commons in the Americas impacted the formation and development of peasantries, on the one hand, and the social autonomy of plebeian rural and urban populations with access to such resources, on the other. My entry point into the project is therefore the role of commons in this process taken comparatively. The ultimate aim is to provide a much needed broad and comparative explanation of key historical differences in class formation throughout the continent and in so doing better explain the roots of enduring and epoch-changing peasant, rural and urban socio-political movements that characterize Latin America in contrast to North America.
Future projects include a comparative study of early modern wetlands and the processes by which they were desiccated in context of the emergence of European nation-states and their overseas empires. Whatever topic I explore will always be driven by questions, as I am less interested in making claims than in understanding and explaining processes.
I encourage students to interrogate the physical realities framing their everyday lives with questions conducive to uncovering the logic behind the human choices that shaped them. These material realities can range from industrialized food provision to indoor plumbing and sewage layouts, from grid urban layouts to schools that segregate the space, content and method of learning from manual work. Second, I instill the kind of literacy necessary to answer these questions fully – the ability to "read" landscapes, infrastructures and objects historically. I do this because I believe these skills are essential to understanding the obstacles to necessary changes in the way humans live and to creating solutions that are viable. To marry these convictions with the traditions that shape the history curriculum, my teaching program at the graduate and undergraduate level is based strongly on the political economy and ecology involved in historical processes.
Graduate students can study with me along two tracks. Obviously, I teach the historiography of colonial Latin America and its early modern Atlantic context. But I am now also developing a pedagogical approach with which I hope to help broaden the training of students such that they can think about and work with history in ways far more diverse than they have traditionally been expected to. Concretely, this means that as of Spring 2015, I am mentoring and teaching graduate students in any field or period who are interested in the literacy and pedagogy of material culture and built and unbuilt landscapes. My goal is to advance students' ability to use the historical evolution of familiar surroundings as a microcosm in which to develop the habit of asking and explaining why our tangible surroundings and realities are the way they are, on the one hand, and to develop ways to transmit this to others beyond academia: in public schools, "public" history, museums, and so on, on the other. In my view, it is imperative that graduate training in history address the challenges of the present.
My current undergraduate courses include: surveys of the history of colonial Latin America (HIS 303/LAS 305) and of Modern Mexico from 1810 on (HIS 309/LAS 312); a research seminar on how to use material and environmental sources historically (HIS 400) and a new reading seminar on Objects and Landscapes in History (HIS 464). I teach undergraduates much as I teach grads, by challenging them to ask questions and take intellectual risks.
To make the Iberoamerican colonial world more accessible and audible, so to speak, I have collaborated with Ireri Chávez-Bárcenas, PhD candidate in Musicology, developing a website containing and explaining the music of the period that I use in conjuntion with my undergraduate colonial survey. The project is called Listening to Colonial Latin America: Music, Sounds and Silence as Historical Sources. Below are screenshots of sample pages. It is freely accessible to anyone affiliated with Princeton. Others please ask me for an access ticket. We expect to be able to make the website public in the near future, hoping also to expand the project to encompass the continent as a whole by collaborating with musicians, musicologists and historians of colonial Franco-, Luso- and Anglo-America, to whom we extend an invitation.

Some 1,400 boat migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean from North Africa to Europe were rescued on Tuesday, Italy's coastguard said, after at least 11 overcrowded boats set out from Libya amid calm seas.
Rescuers have also recovered eight dead bodies. The coast guard ship Diciotti took seven corpses from a rubber boat, while one body was recovered from another rubber vessel by the Topaz, a ship run by humanitarian group Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS).
Italy's coastguard coordinated the rescues off the Libya coast, including helicopter airlifts of three migrants in need of immediate hospital care, a spokeswoman said.
One was being evacuated because of a heart attack, while two others were suffering from severe hypothermia, she said.
The rescue ship Vos Hestia, run by the international charity Save the Children, was among those involved in the rescues. It picked up more than 400 people from a wooden boat during the night, according to the organization's Twitter account.
The death toll in the Mediterranean - the most dangerous border crossing on the planet for migrants - is estimated to be 4,655 this year, 1,000 more than in all of 2015, according to the International Organization for Migration.
More than 168,000 migrants have reached Italy by boat this year, exceeding 154,000 for the whole of 2015 and quickly approaching 2014's 170,000 record.
Italy has borne the brunt of new arrivals since the implementation in March of an agreement between the European Union and Turkey to curb the flow of migrants sailing for Greece.

Hello facebookers ! Radio broadcasting seen through Facebook pages. How do you radio stations, presenters and listeners engage through social networks?
Cordeiro, P. (2011). Hello facebookers ! Radio broadcasting seen through Facebook pages. How do you radio stations, presenters and listeners engage through social networks?. Zagreb conference: "New challenges and methodological innovations in European media audience research". 7-9 April 2011.
Abstract: Terrestrial radio broadcasting is in a process of change. One can no longer think about radio without thinking about the broadcasting versus the narrowcasting and on-demand, combining different platforms. Radio today is more about content distribution than actually the FM chip on the mobile phone. Mobile Internet is growing due to converging technologies and social trends. Voice traffic on mobile phones is decreasing as wi-fi access grows, allowing people to web browsing and social networking through mobile, while at work, at home or even commuting. It's a new mediatized behavior, as technology allows people to be connected and in connection, getting actualizations for all kinds of content, consuming various forms of content in different kinds of new media though mobile channels in several moments of the day, with a different consumption behavior. Our approach focus less on developments of each media in particular and more on the intersection across media formats and platforms, as well as the engagement media portray with audiences through social networks. Digital convergence raises new conceptualizations, concerning media, as media hybridization makes sense to an hybrid listener who is across digital platforms at his convenience, using mostly screens to get his favourite contents, creating his own personal media digest. In digital convergence, media combine audio with text, images, video, an archive system, web only channels or podcast, developing a new paradigm of access, with live broadcasting, on demand, shareable content that makes media even more social than it was before. As for radio, although convergence and digitalization have portrayed many changes, radio is about people, and made to people, reason why most radio stations are recovering the presenter's image to engage with the audience. Our study aims to understand the relation that radio listeners establish with presenters and the interaction between them. People's life is made available online, as the Internet is the key technology, a multimodal means of communication: people socialize online and use the Internet as a source of information, a helpful tool to work and communicate. Using a sample of radio station presenters and most active Facebook users among each radio station listeners, our objective is to study this relation in the context of imagined communities, analysing interactions, themes of interaction and promotion to the station events (like concerts, gigs or other initiatives), proving that people relate both the online and the real world through media and social networking.
