The Bend Rockies were a minor league baseball team that played in Bend, Oregon. The Rockies were members of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League for three years, from 1992 through 1994 and were affiliated with the Colorado Rockies. Prior to 1995 season the franchise relocated to Portland, Oregon, where they continued play as the Portland Rockies.

History
Following two seasons operating as a co-op club, the bend franchise signed player development contract with the expansion Colorado Rockies. Bend was the first affiliate for the Colorado, who would not begin play until the following season in 1993. Bend, who had been named the Bucks for the past five years changed their moniker to mirror their parent club. The Bend Rockies began play in 1992.

The Rockies posted a record of 43–33 on the year to win the south division title. Bend faced the Bellingham Mariners for league championship, but were swept by the Baby M's in the three game championship series.

After reaching the peak of the Northwest League in their inaugural season, Bend would be unable to match the same level of success. The Rockies posted consecutive last place division finishes in 1993 and 1994. The 1994 season would the club's last in Bend. Portland, Oregon had been vacant since 1993 when then-owner Joe Buzas moved the Portland Beavers of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League to Salt Lake City. With Oregon's largest city open, the franchise opted to fill the void by relocating. Since the departure of the Bend Rockies, affiliated professional baseball has yet to return to Central Oregon. The only professional team to play in Bend since was the Bend Bandits of the Western Baseball League; the Bandits folded in 1998.

Ballpark
The Rockies played at Vince Genna Stadium located in Bend, Oregon.

Identity
Initially, owner Jack Cain wanted to maintain the Bend Bucks . At the insistence of the Colorado Rockies general manager Bob Gebhard, Bend adopted the nickname of their parent club. The team's colors were purple, black, silver, and white and their uniforms were nearly identical to what the big club Rockies would wear with the exception of pinstripes. The new identity for Bend was an instant success as the club sold more merchandise on opening night than the Bucks had sold in the entire previous season.

Tobi Sokolow (born July 15, 1942) is an American bridge player. She won major tournaments as Tobi Deutsch as well. As of 2016, she ranked 10th among women in the world by masterpoints and 11th by placing points that do not decay over time.

Sokolow learned bridge in her thirties, unusually late for a top player. She has won five world titles and 20 North American Bridge Championships events including the 2002 Life Master Pairs. At Verona, Italy, in 2004 she became the first American man or woman to win the Generali World Masters Individual.

Sokolow was born in Cleveland, Ohio. Her husband David is a law professor at the University of Texas School of Law. They live in Austin, Texas, where she was a real estate agent. Her son Adam is a restaurateur in Austin.

Sokolow was one of 24 women, six from each of four countries, invited to participate in the SportAccord World Mind Games, December 2011 in Beijing. Her partner was Janice Seamon-Molson. The American women won the Women's Team gold medal, and Sokolow placed third in the Individuals – a tournament (now rarely-contested) in which every player has a different partner in every round.  She finished second in the team event in 2012.

On September 7th 2021, Sokolow was added to the American Contract Bridge League's "Currently under Discipline" list as having resigned to avoid possible disciplinary action.

Jerzy the Giant is the second album by The Terrible Twos.

History
After the mild critical praise of the outfit's previous album If You Ever See an Owl..., the group's lead singer Matt Pryor began writing more songs, partly inspired by his daughter Lily, (who contributed several lyrics to many of the songs) as well as his youngest son Jerzy, whom the album is named after. The album was recorded in the summer of 2007 in Pryor's home studio with the other members of The New Amsterdams. The album was recorded in a month at Pryor's home studio, and edited and mixed at the same time Pryor was recording his first-ever solo album Confidence Man.

Duloch ( ), or Duloch Park, is a residential suburb of  Dunfermline, in Fife, Scotland.

The closest railway stations are Rosyth, Dunfermline Queen Margaret, Dunfermline City, Dalgety Bay and Inverkeithing.

The lower price of large homes compared to homes across the Forth, as well as its proximity to the M90 motorway, has attracted many Edinburgh commuters.

Local amenities include two large supermarkets (Tesco and Aldi) and a small shopping area. The nearby 'Fife Leisure Park' contains a cinema, gym, bowling alley, other leisure facilities and restaurants. Three primary schools serve the area - Masterton, Duloch and Carnegie Primaries.  The campus of Duloch Primary school contains a large public library, café, gym, astro turf, several halls used for sports and community classes and Calaiswood, a special needs school.

Duloch Park and Calais Muir Wood form the heart of the Duloch suburb, the latter being an ancient woodland owned by Fife Council and maintained by the Fife Coast and Countryside Trust. Duloch Park is mainly open grassland with a large pond to the north, a flooded former quarry. Its flat terrain is one reason for the large number of sustainable urban drainage system ponds in the area.

Name 
Historically, Duloch was spelled Dow Loch, as can be seen in the Blaeu Atlas of Scotland, published in 1654 by Joan Blaeu (1596–1673), and the Roy Military Survey, 1747–1755. Duloch is from Scottish Gaelic dubh loch, 'black loch'.

The name Calais (pronounced  ) is derived from the Gaelic coille with the suffix -us, meaning 'place of woodland'. It has no connection to the town in France, hence the different pronunciation.

Attractions

Historic buildings include Category A listed Old Duloch House, described as "an ancient mansion". To the south is Pitreavie Castle and doocot and to the east, across the M90 motorway is the privately owned Fordell Castle, the Fordell Estate and the Fordell Firs National Scout Camp.

Development
The modern estate was developed as part of the 'Dunfermline and the Coast Local Plan' as developed by Fife Council in the late 1990s. The land was mainly farmland until that point, with few old stone quarries, some of which remain and are now flooded.
