Trump is at odds with his own aides on Russia again (and again and again)
First Read is your briefing from "Meet the Press" and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important political stories and why they matter.

WASHINGTON — On Thursday, we once again witnessed the two parallel Trump administrations at work — administration officials saying one thing, and President Trump saying something entirely else. The topic: Russia's interference in America's elections.
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats at yesterday's assembled White House briefing: "We continue to see a pervasive messaging campaign by Russia to try to weaken and divide the United States. These efforts are not exclusive to this election, but certainly cover issues relevant to the election."
FBI Director Christopher Wray: "Russia attempted to interfere with the last election and continues to engage in malign influence operations to this day."
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen: "Our democracy itself is in the crosshairs."
Coats again: "Our focus here today is simply to tell the American people we acknowledge the threat, it is real, it is continuing, and we're doing everything we can to have a legitimate election that the American people can have trust in."
But if the threat of more Russian interference is real, continuing and serious, well, the president of the United States had a different message when he was campaigning last night in Pennsylvania. "In Helsinki, I had a great meeting with [Vladimir] Putin," he said. "We discussed everything — I had a great meeting. We got along really well. By the way, that's a good thing, not a bad thing. That's a really good thing. Now we're being hindered by the Russian hoax. It's a hoax, OK? I'll tell you what, Russia's very unhappy that Trump won, that I can tell you."
A real threat? Or a hoax?
Russia did interfere in the 2016 election to help Trump's campaign and hurt Hillary Clinton's? Or Robert Mueller's probe into that interference is a "witch hunt"?
And Russia wanted Trump to win in 2016 (as Putin said in Helsinki)? Or Russia is unhappy that Trump won (as the president said last night)?
Add them all up, and you have confusion, chaos and very little credibility — for any of the messengers.
Last night's results in Tennessee: Another House Republican loses bid for statewide office
In Tennessee's marquee primary contest last night, Rep. Diane Black, R-Tenn. — who tied herself to President Trump in TV ads — finished a disappointing third in the state's GOP gubernatorial primary. Businessman Bill Lee was first at 37 percent, businessman Randy Boyd second at 24 percent and Black in third at 23 percent.
Lee will face former Nashville Mayor Karl Dean, who got 75 percent in the Democratic field, in November's general election.
By our count, Black becomes the FIFTH House Republican to lose a bid for statewide office, following Luke Messer (Indiana), Todd Rokita (Indiana), Evan Jenkins (West Virginia) and Raul Labrador (Idaho).
Now we have seen some House Republicans win primaries for statewide office — Lou Barletta (in Pennsylvania), Jim Renacci (in Ohio), Steve Pearce (in New Mexico), Kevin Cramer (in North Dakota) and Marsha Blackburn (in Tennessee's Senate primary, where she faced only nominal opposition). And Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., is now the big frontrunner in Florida's GOP gubernatorial primary.
The difference between Black/Messer/Rokita/Jenkins/Labrador and Barletta/Renacci/DeSantis/Pearce/Cramer/Blackburn? The latter group either got endorsements from Trump or ran unopposed.
The one exception here: Rep. Kristi Noem, who won her competitive gubernatorial primary in South Dakota without Trump's endorsement.
RNC warns donors to avoid the Koch network
So we see what happens when a Republican candidate for office DOESN'T get an endorsement from Trump. And we see what happens when a GOP-leaning group criticizes Trump and his policies.
Politico: "The Republican National Committee is sending a warning shot to major GOP donors not to play ball with the powerful Koch political network, escalating a fight between President Donald Trump's allies and the Kochs. The move follows a weekend retreat in Colorado at which Koch network officials criticized the Trump administration, hinted they would work with Democrats, and announced they would not help a Republican candidate in a key 2018 Senate race."
A reminder: Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a public official, not a campaign or party operative
"During a tense White House briefing on Thursday, [CNN's Jim Acosta] challenged the press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, to disavow President Trump's description of journalists as 'the enemy of the people.' Ms. Sanders declined to do so, saying she had been personally attacked in the media and had faced threats since starting her job," the New York Times writes.
But here's a reminder after Huckabee Sanders attacked the press: She's a public official who works for the American people. It's one thing for a campaign or party operative to say the things that Huckabee Sanders did yesterday – it's another for someone whose salary is paid for by American taxpayers to say it.
The potential 2020ers who ARE and AREN'T Netroots Nation
Progressives are gathering (Thursday to Saturday) in New Orleans at the Netroots Nation conference. The speakers include Tom Steyer, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Tim Ryan, Julian Castro, Jay Inslee and Steve Bullock.
But among the potential 2020ers who aren't at the confab: Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Kirsten Gillibrand, Terry McAuliffe, Mitch Landrieu.
By the way, here's a dispatch from NBC's Mike Memoli on last night at Netroots Nation: "An interesting opening keynote session of the Netroots Nation gathering of 3,000+ in New Orleans. Tom Steyer got only a lukewarm response from this audience as he offered his pitch to impeach Donald Trump. He drew more applause for focusing on organizing to take Congress and other offices around the country. That contrasted with the enthusiastic response to remarks from the new mayor of New Orleans, La Toya Cantrell, who spoke after him and highlighted what she said was a new more fiercely progressive city government (she succeeded occasionally-mentioned 2020 possibility, Mayor Mitch Landrieu this spring)."

Mac's Service Shop: Electronics in Automobiles
September 1973 Popular Electronics
Electronic ignition, computer-controlled fuel injection and air intake, alarm systems, radar, rear back-up cameras, GPS, stereo sound systems, Bluetooth tire pressure monitor, hands-free telephone, automatic headlight directors, drowsy driver detectors, collision avoidance, anti-lock brakes, fuel efficiency management, air bag deployment, self-parking and even self-driving features are now or soon will be standard features in automobiles. Mac McGregor and Barney hit upon a lot of these items - some explicitly, some implicitly - in this 1973 installment of "Mac's Service Shop" found in Popular Electronics magazine. Amazingly impressive devices and systems are fermenting in the minds of engineers and scientists today that will begin appearing in new car models a decade or decades from now. While I am duly impressed, I would gladly trade my 2011 Jeep Patriot for a nicely restored 1960s or 1970s pick'em-up truck*. I'll add the desired newfangled gizmos myself.
* Have you seen the cost of vintage pickup trucks these days - restored or not? I'm accepting donations ;-)
Headline: Unprecedented Opportunities in Automotive Electronics
By John T. Frye, W9EGV, KHD4167
RCA's version of car of the future, showing where solid-state electronics will be used.
"Mac," Barney said to his boss working at the bench beside him, "what will cars be like twenty years from now?"
Mac finished a delicate job of desoldering an i-f can from a printed circuit board before he answered, "No one knows for sure what those cars will look like or how they will be powered, but this much is certain: they will involve a lot more electronics than cars do today. Several months ago the American big three automobile manufacturers forecast that $5 billion annually might be spent on automotive electronics by 1980, and European manufacturers are talking about 12 percent of car costs going for electronics by 1982."
"That's not hay you're talking about," Barney reminded him. "I was just reading that last year we spent $49 billion on autos and parts. Then we spent another $41 billion on gas and oil, repairs, insurance, and other charges. That made a neat total of $90 billion, or about 11% of our after-tax income. Only food, about 17%, and housing, about 13%, get a larger share of the American's after-tax dollar. To ice the cake, consumer sales of autos and parts in the first three months of this year were up 20% over the same three months of 1972. Some think an unprecedented fifteen million cars and trucks may be sold this year."
"That's all the more reason why a young fellow like you, who expects to make his living from electronics, would do well to take a keen interest in this automotive-electronic field that is just starting to boom. You may be able to get yourself a piece of the action."
"Why are car people discovering electronics now?" Barney asked. "In the past we've only received pin money from the auto people. Radio, headlamp dimmer, voltage regulator, sequential turn signals, alternator diodes - that was about it."
"There are several hard-headed reasons. In the past, auto design was dominated by mechanical engineers who were very reluctant to allow outsiders to play a part in designing the car. But now they need electronic help to meet government-dictated deadlines for reducing pollution. Only solid-state compactness can provide room in the already crowded car for new safety and comfort equipment. Modem high-speed, heavy-traffic driving imposes demands on the average driver that exceed the limitations of his unaided senses and reaction time; only lightning-fast electronics can amplify those senses and stretch time for him. Space exploration, by fully demonstrating the reliability, precision, and space-saving of electronics under extreme conditions has destroyed many arguments against such use in the car, and plummeting solid-state costs have undercut others. Finally, the ranks of automotive engineers, historically trained to think in terms of mechanics. are being infiltrated by space age electronics engineers. Their influence promises to snowball."
"How about getting out your crystal ball and showing me some of the coming electronic applications to cars?"
Numbered callouts show locations of components in Chrysler's electronic security system.
New and Future Applications. "Okay. First I'll switch the crystal ball to 'local' and talk about applications right at hand. Electronic ignition is one. Chrysler engineers estimate 15% of the cars on the road have one or more plugs misfiring, increasing hydrocarbon emission 300 to 1000 per cent. Their electronic ignition system, now standard on all their cars, is designed to prevent such misfiring. A toothed reluctor and a magnetic pickup coil replace conventional breaker points, cam, and 'condenser' inside the distributor. Each time a reluctor tooth passes the pole piece of the pickup coil, this induces a pulse in the coil that causes a switching transistor to interrupt the primary current of the induction coil, just as happened when the old breaker points were nudged open by the cam. The rest of the ignition operation is normal, but notice there are no points and no earn to wear and pit and corrode so as to degrade the spark and change the timing. Ignition time set at the factory remains adjusted as long as the distributor is left alone.
"Car theft is another challenge electronics is meeting. Almost a million cars were stolen in 1971, twice as many as were stolen six years previously. Starting this year Chrysler offers a new security system built right into the car's basic electrical system. An attempt to force open the passenger, trunk, or engine compartment or an unauthorized attempt to start the car causes the horn to start beeping and the headlights, tail lights, and parking lights to flash on and off.
The same system serves as an occupant distress alarm and provides instant protective locking. When an emergency button on the instrument panel is pushed, all doors are instantly locked, the hood latch is blocked, and the visual and audible alarm signals start and run for three minutes and then stop, but the doors remain locked. This feature is considered essential because as unoccupied-car protection becomes better, the frustrated thief may feel the best way to steal a car is to take the key away from the driver; so chance of assault is mounting. Naturally, details of the system are not broadcast, but the heart is a well-concealed control box equipped with IC's, transistors, resistors, power relay, and a capacitor. This box receives a message from any sensor, interprets the message, decides which of several courses of action is most appropriate, and initiates the proper action.
"But with more than 55,000 killed and five million injured on the highways annually automobile safety commands a high priority on the services of electrons, and they promise to meet the challenge. To help avoid collisions we already have in production electronic anti-skid brakes, sequential turn signals, engine speed limiters, intermittent windshield wipers, and headlamp dimmers. If radars can be built cheaply enough, there are innumerable anti-collision uses for them on cars. Bendix has developed and Ford is testing an adaptive speed-control system that uses a CW Doppler radar and a computer that computes range and range-change-rate between one car and another in front. Connected to the accelerator and brakes, it automatically slows a car when it is getting too close to the car in front; and if a marked deceleration is noted in the car ahead, the brakes of the trailing car are applied. To prevent false readings from cars in adjacent lanes, the Doppler beam is restricted to about 4 degrees, which is lane width at 200 to 250 feet. Responders on the rears of cars return the sensing signals in some systems.
"Cheap radars will be used in the rear and sides of the car to warn the driver of other cars approaching from behind in adjacent lane blind spots or of objects behind him when he is backing. Here a wide beam, up to 180 degrees, will be used. In tests Bendix has detected a one-pound coffee can at 15 feet. Other collision-avoiding electronic devices of the future include a light-amplifying TV-type viewer for better vision in fog and rain, a decelerator indicator that warns the driver behind you the instant you ease up on the accelerator, a highway condition sensor that gives notice of ice forming on the pavement, and an audible warning when you drift out of your lane. Four new solid-state devices - the Gunn oscillator, the LSA diode, the IMPATT diode, and the TRAPATT diode - promise to make available the cheaper radar."
"Yeah, and I've read that a radar trigger can yield the extra fraction of a second needed to prevent explosive accelerometer-triggered airbag inflation in an accident," Barney offered.
Computer-Controlled Autos. "Right," Mac agreed. "You probably noticed several of the electronic devices mentioned require separate signal processing and control units. Trevor Jones, head of GM's Electronic Control Systems Group, considers this duplication wasteful and is doing something about it. That 'something' is the Alpha series of computer-controlled experimental autos. An automobile computer such as that in Alpha-1 should, according to Jones, be capable of performing a number of functions common in a universal control system: add, subtract, remember things, perform go/no-go logic, and switch. Time sharing in such a computer can justify its cost by bringing the cost of add-on functions down to a low level.
"For example, in Alpha-1 the computer controls an electronic ignition lock, a seat belt warning, a 'Phytester,' or drunken driver tester, a digital gas gauge, a digital speedometer, a digital clock, automatic windshield wipers, headlamp switching, heater and air-conditioning, turn signals, anti-skid braking control, a fuel economy computer, electronic fuel injection and ignition, gear shifting, emission monitoring and control, locking of the doors at 5 mph, and air-bag firing. In addition, many systems and subsystems are constantly monitored, and any trouble produces a display that tells the driver what is wrong and what to do about it.
"The digital logic speed is high enough to make control operations appear simultaneous. For example, quantity of fuel injected and spark timing are calculated for each cycle, but free intervals remain between these calculations for use by other functions. Priorities are assigned to all functions, and in an emergency the computer works from the top of the list so that the most essential override the less important ones. Air-bag firing, for example, overrides everything else.
"The proliferation of electronic components, however, cannot be permitted to add to the mile-long rat's nest of wire used in present cars. The answer being built into Alpha-2 and under development by all three major manufacturers and some independent firms is the so-called 'one-wire' system. 'One cable' system would be more accurate, for actually three to six conductors are run in a single cable to all sensors and all actuators of the car. Information and control signals are multiplexed onto this cable in the form of serial pulse code modulation (PCM). While all receivers are exposed to all control signals, only those pulse-coded for a particular receiver can enter it and initiate the desired action.
"Before the Automotive Central Processor can effectively communicate with all encode and decode stations throughout the car, two major problems must be overcome: reliable digital transducers must be developed, and suitable 'muscles' for doing the actual work must be worked out and subjugated to the electronic controls. We have good analog transducers, but if a single computer is going to receive and display information from several transducers, that information must be in digital form. Analog-to-digital transducers would add an extra step. At present, there are very few accurate, inexpensive digital transducers. A computer can receive and process information, but it cannot do major physical work. In a car, such work is usually done by electricity, hydraulics, or vacuum power. It would seem hydraulic power possibly generated by the power steering pump, with a fluidics interface between the electronic control and the powered unit would be the best solution.
"Cars of the future will still require service, and electronics will perform the diagnostic work. Alpha-1, as already mentioned, does basic troubleshooting with its on-board computer; but a more elaborate system is already in use by Volkswagen. Many sensors located throughout every 1972 and later Volkswagen connect to a socket in the engine compartment. A computer at Volkswagen service stations, when plugged into this socket, rapidly checks 60 vital points including such things as front wheel alignment, compression of each cylinder, dwell angle, ignition performance, generator output, battery water level, and even the condition of the rear window heater. At the same time the computer prints out in plain English what's right and wrong with the car. Other manufacturers are likely to follow this lead."
"I'm disappointed," Barney complained. "You've said nothing about a completely automatic car that drives itself at 100 mph while the owner plays bridge with his friends."
Experimental Alpha-1 auto, by General Motors, uses a digital instrument panel in front of driver along with the sobriety keyboard located to the right.
These are the components that are used in the electronic ignition system proposed by Chrysler.
Mac grinned. "Don't forget I grew up in a garage, and I agree with the auto manufacturers that the fully automatic car of the Sunday supplements is many years away. Space engineers who have gone into automobile-engineering have discovered there is one big difference in the two engineering philosophies: cost! In space, if something can be done it must be done. In auto manufacturing, you don't do it unless it's better and at least as cheap. Trevor Jones points out, 'It takes $10,000 just to insert a new part number in the GM system.' "
"Okay," Barney said, laying down his soldering iron, "but electronics can do things better and cheaper. With Uncle Sam holding the double-barreled shotgun of pollution control and energy conservation, and with foreign competition lurking just outside the church door, the marriage between automobiles and electronics is going to take place muy pronto.".

The water has warmed up, the crabs have peeled and the fish have arrived! At last summer is here! Been out on the wrecks and we landed plenty of Cod and Pollack on Duke IV. A good trip with the individuals Thursday then back out with Crew Lucas from St Albans on Friday. All caught plenty of fish, topped there freezers up till the next trip!
All fish taken on lures on the drift so great sport and as Duke IV is a sportfishing boat all small or unwanted fish were returned to fight another day. Well done chaps!
Inshore fishing has been good one day then quieter the next, with Thornback Ray, Smoothounds, Bass and some cracking Whiting! Martin's crew from Gravesend had a good day inshore with Smoothounds (all returned) and Thornbacks along with Whiting and Dabs, see pic. The Bass should start shoaling on the banks now, you can't be sure where or when, just be in the right place at the right time, keep your eyes open and have some hokkies in your box! Don't worry we've got plenty on board Duke IV!
was on offshore reef, lots of large ling, pollock starting to show in better numbers and sizes. very few mackerel yet.
Things differently seem behind this year, but with the resent turn of warm weather it seems to have kicked the fishing off, down are end of the country. This last weekend showing a up turn in the fishing, plenty of bream and smooth hounds on the inshore rock marks. The mackerel are now showing up, but can be a bit hit and miss, and the Tope seem to have also made a bit of a later appearance but are now starting to show in good numbers.
I got out on the mid channel deep water reef marks for the first time this year on Sunday, with good results, plenty of Pollock a few Cod the best weighing 16lbs 10oz (nice on a shad!). So I don't think it will be long before more Cod and less Pollock are caught. The fish are stuffed full of sprats, so it will be interesting to see if it happens on the brittle stars this year!
I am looking to get out on the deep water reefs a bit more this year, but with the price of diesel at the moment I have to make sure I run with a full boat, "or the cost of a full boat"!
Had some amazing weather over this last weekend and for a group of 20 lads on Saturday down on both our boats for a stag doe it was fantastic, with the guys wanting fish for the bbq in the evening we dicided to stay fishing the reefs all day and being a competition between each boat we both had our game plans.
Fishing was fantastic with majority of the fish being Coalies, Pollack, Codling and Mackeral with a few Wrasse, Whittings and Dogies thrown in, by the end of the day the score boreds were totalled up and with over 400 fish on one boat and just 150 on the other it was oviouse which boat was on top and yet again it was Bad Ladz skippered by Aaron.
On sunday the plan was to try the reefs for a couple of hours then back to Holyhead Bay later on for the smoothound but on arrival of Bold Angling Club a few were asking about the tope fishing at the moment which has been not to bad so we dicided to play it by ear and see how the fishing went on the reefs, With a fair amount of the usual Pollack, Colies and Codling coming to the boat we thought we would try for some mackeral as the day before we bagged up but was today going to be as easy, NOPE!! we tryed 3 marks over a 5 mile strech and not a single one so there still hit and miss at the moment so we had a chat and the plan was to try for some tope off-shore after a 45minute steam we anchore in 50m of water with all big baits on the bottom, it was a little slow to start but after 20mins or sooo the bites started with the first fish on the boat being a nice Spurdog of 16lb and the fish keept coming with plenty of Bull Huss to 14lb and two Tope to the boat at 25lb and one a bit smaller, we finished a little early at anochor so we could have a few drifts on a couple of reefs on the way back with a plan to try get a few more species on the boat but it was not to be with just the usual Pollack, Colies, Codling and Wrasse coming up and then it was time to head back with the day of 13 species.
Sunday Nite i had a 5hour trip with general fishing on the menu but with 60 crab on the boat we had to try our luck for a smoothound but with little tide and a slight breeze spinning the boat at anchor it was hard work but we heard the ratchet on a reel at the back of the boat wizzing away so it was a mad dash to the back too strike into the fish and then hell broke loose with it going mad swimming all around the boat and taking 4 other lines with it but after a 15 minute fight a lovely starry smoothound of 15lb broke the surface and straight into the net, weighed, pictures and returned as soon as posible and with the next cuople of hours just producing Codling and Whtting it was time to head back in.
FIshing so far -------- Species count is to 31 for the year with every trip exceding the last and the smoothound in the bay on light tackle shows some fantastic sport.
Well Spring arrived at last with some calmer, warmer weather. The bream arrived in numbers about two weeks later than last year. We have had good catches from rock marks in Poole Bay with the best fish between 2 and 3lb but plenty of medium size fish to keep rod tips rattling. Colin Jones from Gloucester had 23 fish to 2lb 8oz at the end of April. The first good catches of bream have been made off the Purbecks and our attentions will switch there during May and June when we will be looking for 4lb fish.
The turbot fishing on the banks has been excellent. On the banks off Alderney we had good numbers of turbot to 10lb. Many of the smaller fish were returned to fight another day. There we some nice brill with best a specimen of 6lb 8oz being caught by Neil Harrison form Wantage. The Shambles is also fishing well and our boat record was pushed up to 23lb by Robin Holloway with superb fish that nearly 4 inches thick. This was one of 7 that day.
Offshore we have had plenty of Pollack on the wrecks with live sandeels providing the best sport. The good news is that there are early signs of cod both on the wrecks and on the brittle star grounds. We expect the catch rate to increase over the next few weeks. Conger fishing has also been excellent with our best a fine fish of 70lb.
The mackerel have now arrived in the Bay so that's a sure sign that summer is on the way. We are looking forward to our first bass trips both drift the offshore banks with lures and live baits and also freelining with live mackerel on the Purbeck reefs. Offshore the numbers of cod will increase on the brittle stars and the tope will start to feature in increasing numbers.
Our revised website is now up and running. There are videos, a new notice board and easy links to our blog, facebook and U-tube pages. Facebook is updated by Sam and he would be glad to have you as a friend of Silver Spray.
Some fantastic weather here at Whitby this week has helped to provide some equally fantastic fishing. Inshore marks are starting to produce a few more fish at last but the ground out on the " Wall " has given us on the Shy Torque a couple of cracking days this week. Plenty of cod and ling for the taking out there at the moment !!
The first fish was a DOGFISH....... not what we wanted but you can't pick what fish you want to catch, The next fish was a bit better, A COD of 10lb, then another of 16lb 8oz, we only had 6 COD but the smallest was the 10lb,With 10 Bass and some big WHITINGS it wasn't such a bad day!
This was a short afternoon/evening trip with only three anglers so it was an inshore trip, we did get 4 THORNBACKS to 14lb 8oz and two COD of 4lb, WHITING and ..... yes DOGFISH.
The second half of May has produced some good catches with anglers going away with on average 10 codlings to keep between 2lb to 5lb.
Jim Cobain's party had a nice wrasse around the 4lb mark and 40 odd codlings to take home to Halifax.
The following day a Michael French's party 70 codlings to take home and a Catfish around about 5lb.
Off the wrecks south of Amble, the Pollack took a yellow and golden shad fished on along flowing trace and was returned to fight another day.
Dave Bagnell had a really good condition ling of 9lb which took a strip of Mackerel.
Went out with Kurt on Yellowfin a couple of weeks ago but have only just got round to posting a report. I'll keep it short ! I hadn't heard of any decent reports so wasn't holding out too much hope but Kurt put us right on the fish from the off. Caught loads of mackeral, whiting, herrings, doggies and a few nice smoothounds. Much more than we expected. Have another trip booked for this week and have plenty more booked with Kurt over the summer as he really is a top skipper and a thoroughly likeable guy as well. Cheers Kurt !!!

Calling themselves the Wiffle Hawks and wearing jerseys paying homage to the Iowa Hawkeyes college sports teams, Josh Weltz and several of his friends drove about eight hours from Sioux City, Iowa, to compete in the World Wiffle Ball Championship on Saturday in Midlothian's Memorial Park.
The Wiffle Hawks players were among 250 participants on 51 teams that came from 10 states to compete for a trophy made of hollow plastic bats.
But that's not the only reason they came.
"It's fun to play a game we played as kids," said Weltz, 28.
And kids of all ages came to play.
As older players reminisced about playing the game in their younger years, they were reminded they weren't kids anymore as soon as they ran and stretched to catch a fly ball.
"Our bodies don't feel that way, anymore, as we did as kids," said Chris Kopsky, 49.
His team, Ballbusters of Orland Park, had just defeated a team from Chicago with the same name.
Chris Montgomery, 59, from Indianapolis, said he's been playing in the tournament for 31 years.
"Anytime I say I'm playing in a wiffle ball tournament I always get a reaction because everybody's played it," he said.
The tournament had been played annually in Mishawaka, Ind., since 1980 until it moved to Skokie a few years ago.
The championship moved to Midlothian this year to accommodate more teams.
Organizers said the Skokie park was limited to 40 teams and some teams had to be turned away.
Memorial Park in Midlothian was only a little over half used by the teams on Saturday and organizer said Nate Hansen said the park could easily accommodate 80 five-person teams.
Despite some morning rain that caused a one-hour delay to the start of the tournament Saturday, the fields held up and were still playable.

Some die-hard players did slide on the wet outfield after making a diving catch, similar to a slip-and-slide.
For the most part, the scene on Saturday was more like a giant family picnic, with teams pitching canopies to relax under between games or for "substitute" players and fans during games.
"This is more of a family reunion for us," Montgomery said. "We mark it on the calendar every year and make it happen."
His team included his brother from Kansas and his 19-year-old nephew from Florida.
The tournament also is an opportunity for old buddies to hang out. Such was the case for organizer Mike Baniak, 36.
His team, Club Ripped, includes friends he's had since middle school.
With beers in hand it's clear many players were there to have fun and didn't worry too much about winning.
No umpires were present and players are expected to follow the honor system in calling foul or fair balls and other aspects of the game.
Flags of several teams were displayed at Midlothian's Memorial Park on Saturday during the World Wiffle Ball Championship.

But the tournament is serious business for some as evidenced by players clambering over short fences to try to rob opposing players of home runs.
Organizers tout the tournament as the "oldest, largest and most prestigious plastic bat and ball event on the globe." It has been featured on ESPN, local TV networks and in the sports travel book, "101 Baseball Places to See Before You Strike Out."
"Some take (the tournament) seriously and some not as much," Weltz of team Wiffle Hawks said.
And for some, the game has become part of their public persona.

Elderly Middle Village woman without a home looks to community for support
By Anthony Giudice
Photo courtesy of Crystal Wolfe
When someone from their neighborhood falls on hard times, Middle Villagers come together to lift them up, and one homeless resident is benefiting from the kindness of her neighbors.
Geraldine Gromwaldt is a 63-year-old woman from Middle Village who has been homeless for two and a half years. She previously lived with her partner George, but he died very suddenly — only four days after being diagnosed with cancer — leaving Gromwaldt without the money necessary to pay the bills on her own, even though she has several cleaning jobs and receives limited social security funds.
Seven months after her partner died, she was evicted from her apartment.
Gromwaldt then reached out to the Community United Methodist Church (CUMC) of Middle Village for assistance. The church members immediately found her a shelter in Brooklyn. But due to fear of the intense screening process and testing, Gromwaldt did not complete the process and could not stay at the shelter.
"I never have felt sorry for myself," Gromwaldt said. "If I had enough for bills and food, I was grateful. If I didn't have enough, I didn't complain, I just kept going."
Several members of the church have allowed Gromwaldt to stay with them in their homes and the CUMC allowed her to stay in hostels and even at the church some nights.
There were times when she wasn't so lucky.
Gromwaldt spent nearly six months riding subway trains while she didn't have a home. She would ride the trains during the day to keep warm and return to her comforter and bedding near the church at night to sleep.
"I felt like I was safe and closer to God when I slept near the church," Gromwaldt said. "I always tried to be 'home' by 6 p.m. I saw what I was doing as camping out. I knew that God would protect me."
As part of their main ministry for 2017, CUMC wants to do more to help the homeless population of the city. To do this, the church has partnered up with Crystal Wolfe, founder of the nonprofit organization Catering for the Homeless, which delivers leftover food from catered events across the city to homeless shelters and churches.
After Wolfe delivered a sermon at the church earlier this year, she met with Gromwaldt, who told Wolfe of her story. Since that time Wolfe, and the church, have been doing everything to help Gromwaldt find permanent housing.
"Community Board 5 where I have been speaking up and out for the homeless since October of 2016, has been incredibly wonderful in regards to their support. They emailed me some information about crowdfunding fundraising and something clicked in my mind," Wolfe said. "The church and I are determined to do whatever we can to help get Geri's life back."
Through her Catering for the Homeless organization Wolfe has set up a YouCaring.com page to help raise funds to get Gromwaldt back on her feet. As of Wednesday, Feb. 22, 52 donors have raised $2,867 of the $7,000 goal.
According to the donation page, with the money, they want to get Gromwaldt a studio or one-bedroom apartment in her home of Middle Village, be able to pay first month's rent and a deposit — preferably three to six months' rent so she can bolster her savings — and furniture for her new apartment.
"I have the utmost love and compassion for the homeless and I know it is not their fault and I believe that everyone deserves a safe and stable home; men, women, children, addicts, veterans, the poor, the elderly, everyone," Wolfe said.

Environmental work
Already the day after Vasa sank, the Council of State started looking for the responsible parties, but nobody was ever punished for one of the greatest disasters of Sweden's Great Power Era.
The loss of the magnificent Vasa after barely a kilometre's sailing was a catastrophe on a grand scale, in full view of Stockholm's population and foreign agents from all over northern Europe. Before his clothes were even dry, Captain Söfring Hansson was imprisoned and interrogated by the Council of State. He swore that the crew had been sober and the guns properly lashed; if they had not been, this could have been a contributory factor to the sinking. Söfring reported the orders he had given, and added that the ship had been too unstable under sail.
On 12 August, the Council sent their first report to Gustav II Adolf, who was with the army in Prussia, busy with the war against Poland-Lithuania. One can still read his fury in the reply, which insisted on an inquiry into what lay behind the catastrophe, and that the guilty should be punished.
The officers feign ignorance
The Council was actually ahead of the king, having organized an inquest into the loss before they received Gustav Adolf's reply to their report. A special commission of 17 councillors and naval officers was formed, to be chaired by the Admiral of the Realm, Karl Karlsson Gyllenhielm, who was the king's older half-brother.
The inquest was called to order on 5 September at the Tre Kronor palace in Stockholm. Parts of the transcript have disappeared, but we know the bulk of what happened before the commission that day. The surviving officers and senior petty officers, from Vice Admiral Erik Jönsson to boatswain Per Bertilsson, were all asked if they knew the ship was unsteady, and if it was their fault that the ship had sunk. All claimed ignorance of the ship's flaws, until the master, Jöran Matsson, was questioned by the prosecutor.
He was responsible for stowing the ballast, 120 tons of stone in the bottom of the ship to lower the centre of gravity. He said that he had ballasted the ship as deeply as it should be, and then astonished the tribunal. He revealed that before Vasa sailed (probably on the 8th or 9th of July), Captain Söfring had arranged for Vice Admiral Klas Fleming, Gyllenhielm's deputy, to witness a demonstration, in which thirty men ran back and forth over the upper deck to make the ship roll. After just a few trips, the ship was heeling so badly that there was great fear it might capsize at the quay. The demonstration was interrupted, and Matsson reported that he overheard Fleming say, "If only His Majesty were at home!" Still, he did not report to the king the worrying thing he had seen. He was under great pressure from Gustav Adolf to get the ship to sea, and it was rarely a good idea to disappoint the king. His only action was to appoint Söfring Hansson as captain.
The king approved the design
During the interrogations, it became clear that neither the ballast nor loose cannon were behind the sinking. Most witness statements pointed in the same direction: Vasa was badly designed. The next to be questioned were the builders, Arendt de Groote and Hein Jacobsson. Master Henrik Hybertsson, the original designer, had died the year before, handing over responsibility for Vasa to Hein.
When asked, Hein answered directly that the ship was built according to Master Henrik's design, which the king had approved, and they would not budge from this defense, despite the prosecutor questioning them ever more insistently. This left the tribunal nowhere to go without embarrassing the king, but Hein opened the door to the solution a crack. He said that he had widened the ship slightly (around 40 centimetres), which indicates that he still felt some uncertainty in relation to Vasa's measurements. In practice, Hein Jakobsson implied that Master Henrik's design was fatally flawed.
Henrik's partner, the merchant Arendt de Groote, was also questioned. He had been one of the original signatories to the contract, and he backed up Hein, recounting how he had shown the king a picture of a similar ship as a model for Vasa.
The commission now faced an unpleasant dilemma: blame must be assigned, but without blackening the king's name, and without removing anyone whose competence was necessary for the war effort. To a certain degree, the proceedings were really a piece of political theatre, to demonstrate what we would now call "due diligence." Everyone involved had had a month to get their stories straight, and Hein Jacobsson had effectively laid the blame on the perfect scapegoat. Master Henrik could not defend himself and did not need to be punished; the navy could get on with the job of managing the war.
In the end, no one was officially blamed or punished, and all of those questioned were eventually promoted. Hein Jacobsson worked at the navy yard until he retired in 1638, building a string of large, successful ships for the Swedish navy. Jöran Matsson became a captain, and Söfring Hansson became the supervising officer for the navy yard. Klas Fleming was not even questioned, but went on to serve with distinction and died a hero's death in 1644.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the inquest from a technical point of view is an appendix at the end, recording the opinions of a group of professional experts, captains and shipwrights. Without the benefit of calculus or modern naval engineering theory, they correctly identified the forces at work and the cause of the instability. As one of them put it, the ship did not have enough "belly" to carry the high and heavy upperworks.

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research group is exploring a variety of topics that range from the basic understanding of chemical reaction dynamics to the nature of the chemical contents of single cells.
Under thermal conditions nature seems to hide the details of how elementary reactions occur through a series of averages over reagent velocity, internal energy, impact parameter, and orientation. To discover the effects of these variables on reactivity, it is necessary to carry out studies of chemical reactions far from equilibrium in which the states of the reactants are more sharply restricted and can be varied in a controlled manner. My research group is attempting to meet this tough experimental challenge through a number of laser techniques that prepare reactants in specific quantum states and probe the quantum state distributions of the resulting products. It is our belief that such state-to-state information gives the deepest insight into the forces that operate in the breaking of old bonds and the making of new ones.
Space does not permit a full description of these projects, and I earnestly invite correspondence. The following examples are representative:
The simplest of all neutral bimolecular reactions is the exchange reaction H H2 -> H2 H. We are studying this system and various isotopic cousins using a tunable UV laser pulse to photodissociate HBr (DBr) and hence create fast H (D) atoms of known translational energy in the presence of H2 and/or D2 and using a laser multiphoton ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer to detect the nascent molecular products in a quantum-state-specific manner by means of an imaging technique. It is expected that these product state distributions will provide a key test of the adequacy of various advanced theoretical schemes for modeling this reaction.
Analytical efforts involve the use of capillary zone electrophoresis, two-step laser desorption laser multiphoton ionization mass spectrometry, cavity ring-down spectroscopy, and Hadamard transform time-of-flight mass spectrometry. We believe these methods can revolutionize trace analysis, particularly of biomolecules in cells.

My students and I study the surfaces of Earth and planets using radar remote sensing methods. Our specialization is interferometric radar, or InSAR. InSAR is a technique to measure mm-scale surface deformation at fine resolution over wide areas, and much of our work follows from applying this technique to the study of earthquakes, volcanoes, and human-induced subsidence. We also address global environmental problems by tracking the movement of ice in the polar regions. whose ice mass balance affects sea level rise and global climate. We participate in NASA space missions such as Cassini, in which we now are examining the largest moon of Saturn, Titan, to try and deduce its composition and evolution. Our work includes experimental observation and modeling the measurements to best understand processes affecting the Earth and solar system. We use data acquired by spaceborne satellites and by large, ground-based radar telescopes to support our research.
I teach courses related to remote sensing methods and applications, and how these methods can be used to study the world around us. At the undergraduate level, these include introductory remote sensing uses of the full electromagnetic spectrum to characterize Earth and planetary surfaces and atmospheres, and methods of digital image processing. I also teach a freshman and sophomore seminar course on natural hazards. At the graduate level, the courses are more specialized, including the math and physics of two-dimensional imaging systems, plus detailed ourses on imaging radar systems for geophysical applications.

Народився у сім'ї пароха в селі Ясень (нині Калуського району Івано-Франківської області, Україна, тоді Королівство Галичини та Володимирії, Австрійська імперія).

Закінчив нормальну школу в Бучачі, потім — цісарсько-королівську гімназію Станиславова (1829). Навчався у Львівській духовній семінарії, яку закінчив 1839 року. Під час навчання брав участь у польських конспіративних організаціях.

Був одним із зачинателів нової української літератури в Галичині. Співавтор збірок «Зоря» у 1835 році (заборонена цензурою) та «Русалка Дністровая» у 1837 році, (дозволена цензурою Угорського королівства і видана у Будапешті, але заборонена цензурою Греко-Католицької Церкви). 1833 року разом з Маркіяном Шашкевичем і Яковом Головацьким організував «Руську трійцю». Через діяльність у ній Івана Вагилевича висвятили на священика лише через сім років після того, як він завершив семінарію.

У 1846–1848 роках був душпастирем у селі Нестаничі (тепер Радехівського району). За даними Романа Горака, перший його запис в метричних книгах парафії — від 14 листопада 1846 року, останній — 23 серпня 1848 року. Сюди був скерований митрополичою консисторією за сприяння митрополита Михайла Левицького, перебував під наглядом графині Коморовської. Проживав у тому самому будинку, що М. Шашкевич

Під час «весни народів» Іван Вагилевич 1848 року самовільно залишив парафію та виїхав до Львова. Він перейшов на полонофільські позиції: проповідував ідею польсько-українського союзу під зверхністю Польщі, став редактором газети угрупування української шляхти «Собор Руський» — «Дневник руський» і сформулював на її шпальтах програмні засади модерного українського націоналізму.

Після розгрому революціонерів кардинал Михайло (Левицький) позбавив Івана Вагилевича духовного сану за самовільне залишення ним парафії. У цій ситуації вирішив перейти на лютеранство. Так він втратив підтримку своїх покровителів — князя Лева Сапіги та графа Мавриція Дідушицького — куратора бібліотеки Оссолінських, тепер — Львівська національна наукова бібліотека України імені Василя Стефаника НАН України, який наполіг на його звільненні. Вагилевич пропрацював лише дев'ять місяців у 1851 році на посаді кустоша (директора) бібліотеки.

Іван Вагилевич ледве зводить кінці з кінцями, тяжко працюючи, аби прогодувати дружину та дітей: був перекладачем української мови, друкував статті в «Газеті львівській», коригував виступи депутатів Галицького сейму, з 1862 року недовго працював перекладачем «Крайового виділу». Брав участь у підготовці нового видання словника польської мови Лінде. 1862 року одержав посаду міського архіваріуса, на якій працював до самої смерті.

Іван Вагилевич помер 10 травня 1866 року у Львові. Короткий некролог надрукували в газеті «Слово». Його могилу на Личаківському цвинтарі розшукати неможливо. На полі № 5 стоїть гранітний обеліск із його іменем, надписом українською мовою проте існують твердження, що ця могила не автентична. Зокрема, Роман Горак стверджував про його встановлення як символічного у 1987 році неподалік могил М. Шашкевича, І. Франка.

Сім'я
Дружина — Амалія, померла 3 лютого 1882 року в 55-річному віці. Останні роки мешкала по вулиці Каліча Гора, 4. Діти:
 Володимир, учень класичної гімназії, помер 11 березня 1863 року в 16-річному віці
 Михайло, помер 3-річним 5 січня 1864 року.
З родиною мешкав певний час у будинку Тадея Василевського на вулиці Каліча Гора, 5.

Наукова діяльність
Писав українською і польською мовами. Перекладав також із чеської мови. Основна його мовознавча праця «Граматика малоруської мови в Галичині» (1844 року, опублікована 1845 року, польською мовою) відіграла помітну роль у лінгво-дидактиці краю. Інша праця — «Розправа про південно-руську мову» (1843, польською мовою) залишилася у рукопису.

Попри складні життєві обставини, він не залишав своїх наукових занять і плідно співпрацював з Авґустом Бельовським на ниві історичної науки, передусім джерелознавства. Так Вагилевич взяв участь у виданні фундаментальних видань «Akta grodzkie i ziemskie» та «Monumenta Poloniae Historica». Писав також власні праці, які мають зразкове джерелознавче підґрунтя.

Підготував опис дако-романської мови з додатком дакійсько-польського словника «Наука про дакійсько-романську мову» (не опублікована, польською мовою). Збирав і опрацьовував лексичні матеріали для словників, зокрема, українсько-німецько-латинського.

Етнографічні праці — «Гуцули, мешканці Східного Прикарпаття» (1837 р.), «Бойки, русько-слов'янський люд у Галичині» (1839 р.) та «Лемки, мешканці Західного Прикарпаття» (1841 р.) — містять цінний діалектичний матеріал.
З етнографічними працями Івана Вагилевича пов'язується початок наукового вивчення мови і культури Гуцульщини.

Творчі набутки
Автор романтичних балад, поезій у прозі, серії статей про українську літературу. Перекладав «Слово о полку Ігоревім» українською і польською мовами, давши науковий коментар (опубліковано у ЗНТШ, т. 234. Праці філологічної секції. Л., 1997).

З 1835 року і до кінця життя виступав, в основному, як учений, друкуючи свої цікаві фольклорно-етнографічні та історичні розвідки в руських (українських), чеських і польських виданнях («Русалка Дністровая», «Часопис чеського музею», «Варшавська бібліотека», «Бібліотека Оссолінських», «Родинне коло», «Дневник Руський», «Gazeta Lwówska» та іншій місцевій періодиці). Наукова спадщина Івана Вагилевича й досі не зібрана і не вивчена.

Цікавий факт
Граф Маврицій Дідушицький у передмові до свої праці «Kronika domowa Dzieduszyckich (1865)» висловив вдячність Івану Вагилевичу за допомогу в її написанні.

Вшанування Івана Вагилевича
Незважаючи на всю суперечливість життя та творчості Івана Вагилевича , він залишається для українців шанованою персоною, будучи одним із зачинателів українського руху просвітництва та першовідкривачем багатьох фольклорних українських тематик. Тому в багатьох містах та селах України шанують автора «Руської трійці»: називаючи вулиці його іменем, ставлячи меморіальні дошки та пам'ятники.

31 грудня 2013 року в Івано-Франківську відкрили перший у світі пам'ятник «Руській Трійці». Серед постатей на пам'ятнику є, зокрема, Іван Вагилевич. 30 липня 2015 року сквер, де стоїть пам'ятник, перейменували на Сквер імені Руської Трійці. В Івано-Франківську також є Вулиця Івана Вагилевича.

Naturally, to find these critters, you will want to look in the areas in and around the fires of Hyjal. They look like normal, everyday roaches, so you may also need to check their names to make sure that you are, indeed, getting the right kind of roach. Their sound on click is an indescribable rush of squeaks and whooshes that doesn't sound like any creature I've ever heard... but does match other 'unusual' cockroaches in the game.
The name of these roaches seem to be a rather odd marketing ploy. They are actually fire-proof, as their family type provides them with 33% resistance to elemental attacks. Of course, the same goes for every other roach in the game, so it's a rather odd thing to point out..
Этот NPC может быть найден в следующих зонах: Гора Хиджал (192).
