| Gossage Elected to Hall in His Ninth Attempt
With an explosive fastball that unnerved hitters, a motion that was an intertwining of long arms and long legs and a Fu Manchu mustache that was his perpetual Halloween mask, Rich Gossage was an intimidator. Gossage, a dependable bouncer on the mound who was known as Goose, pushed his way to baseball's highest honor Tuesday when he was elected into the Hall of Fame. .
Recognition events
Their photos in the 1941 and 1942 Wallulah, Willamette's yearbook, show them beaming with confidence and pride. At least three of them were raised in the area, Watanabe in Salem and the Oye siblings in Independence. Today they would be in their 80s, but nine are deceased. Kurita, a retired surgeon, lives in Modesto, Calif., but is unable to attend the events on Monday and Tuesday. "I have nothing but good memories," the 84-year-old said by phone. "I'm sad to hear I'm the only one surviving. I was surprised to hear Willamette was doing this, pleasantly surprised." Family members of all but one of the nisei were invited to campus on the 66th anniversary of President Franklin Roosevelt signing Executive Order 9066, which resulted in the forcible internment of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry.
Wild Card -- Tuesday PM
Ada County prosecutors have charged BSU footballer Cam Hall with three counts of felony vehicular manslaughter for his role in a triple highway fatality here. *Neither Memorial Day weekend campers or the smelly Kootenai County landfill provided clues in the search for two children missing from the scene of a triple murder near Coeur d'Alene earlier this month here. *With tougher Washington laws, officials say, meth labs may move to Idaho here. .
Hip-Hop Rumors: LaLa Plumps Up, Amerie Dropped? AHHmerican Gangster!
Somebody hit me with this as an explanation as to the title of Mariah's new CD, E=MC2.
“Just to clarify your Mariah E=MC2 comment it has nothing to do with Eminem. E stands for Emancipation(as in the title of her last album) MC is self explanatory and the 2 or squared simply means part 2. Emancipation of Mariah 2 but doesn't E=MC2 sound alot better."
Ddot the King hit me with that.
Charlamagne from Wendy Williams said this:
“Come on illseed! Mariah's album title is E for Emancipation the MC for Mariah Carey and the 2 represents the Sequel - Emancipation Part 2."
LMAO! I didn't really think that the E meant Eminem, but it's more interesting that way.
Winterizing helps save on gas bill, repairs
Frigid temperatures and snowy weather seem to be around to stay, and preparing your home for winter may save a bit of money when the next heating bill comes. Ryan Snow, president of Western Heating in Orem, said it is important to winterize a home in order to prevent heat from escaping and to keep a furnace working correctly. Heat can escape through drafty areas around doors and windows, and Snow said homeowners can attend classes on reducing these leaks from local home-improvement stores like Lowe's or Home Depot. Snow said one of the most important ways for a homeowner to save money during the winter is simply to change the filter in the furnace and get a furnace tune-up once a year. Filters are usually about $7 to $10 and should be replaced every three months, which can easily be done without professional help.
