Daughters-Not To Disappear
Saturday, February 6th, 2016 by Margaret Jokoh
Daughter-Not To disappear
Released: January 15, 2016
Rate: 10/10
The band Daughter, gained notoriety from their single, "Youth". Their sophomore album, Not to disappear picks up right where the previous album lefts up. Though keeping with their "indie folk" mixed with similar sounds to bands like Warpaint, Phantogram and the artist "Ben Howard". Creating an atmosphere, a world all their own, Daughters, gives its listener an array of melodies, colorful imagery, and Elena Tonrah's voice is the glue that combines everything together creating the energy of Daughter.

Little King-OD1
Friday, February 5th, 2016 by Margaret Jokoh
Little King: OD1
Released: April 15, 2014
Rate: 4/10
It may be hard to believe but, Little King has been around for quite sometime, having formed in November of 1996. OD1 is one of the latest band released by the trio. The EP is a nod to classic roc, livened up with melodic guitar riffs; with a sound similar to Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, and many classic rock greats, the group seems to have missed the mark on this particular album.

Pablo Picker: Paper ships
Release date: January 22, 2016

Nathaniel Bellows-The Old Illusions
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2016 by Margaret Jokoh
Nathaniel Bellows: The Old Illusions
Release: June 2, 2015
Rate: 9/10
Hailing from Boston, Massachusett, Nathaniel Bellows releases his first EP The Old Illusions, is definitely quite an album to be introduced to him by. The musician, visual artist and writer has music akin to folk stars, Mumford and Sons and Hudson Taylor. The Old Illusions is simply a man and his guitar; combining Bellows' haunting voice akin (again) to the baritone base of Marcus Mumford, and his introspective, and colorful lyrics aid in the immense quality of this record.

Review: Stephanie Berlanga-The way things go
Friday, January 29th, 2016 by Margaret Jokoh
Stephanie Berlanga: The way things go
Release Date: December 29, 2011
Rate: 7/10
Stephanie Berlanga's The way things go, is definitely a step in the right direction for this vocal powerhouse. Described, by many as playing "acoustic pop music" Berlanga's EP definitely shows off her wide range and powerful vocals, the production on the album is amazing especially for someone who is an up and coming artist. The album gives a small insight into what Berlanga can do; she mixes various different genres, including some country, pop, acoustic, and some alternative rock. (more…)

Allen Stone and Bernhoft
Tuesday, November 17th, 2015 by Rachel
Kat and I had the absolute pleasure of seeing not only Allen Stone, but also the very talented Bernhoft on November 11th at the Baltimore Soundstage. It is definitely in my Top 3 concerts of all time. Their energy filled the entire room from top to bottom, no corner was left untouched by Allen's good vibes. The two were a perfect pairing and complimented each other so well.
In addition to getting to see these two, we were also graced with the presence of Allen's amazing band! They brought the party with them, and spread it out to the crowd! The extremely packed Soundstage was vibin' and groovin' in harmony to both Bernhoft and Allen Stone. It was one of those rare, magical concert experiences where everything is just as it should be. I will never forget the way this concert made me feel. There is nothing better than feeling the bass in your chest, standing in the middle of a crowd of fellow fans, all singing along together. It reminds you you are alive and that it's amazing to be alive.
If you haven't seen Allen Stone and/or Bernhoft perform, they both deserve to be on your "Must-See" list. If you can catch them together on this tour, or the next one (because insider's note: they're best friends now), definitely do it! If only to see Bernhoft come out during Allen's song "Million" and steal the mic and join in with the band! Actually, scratch that, if only to see Allen's horns players shaking their hips like they've never lied a day in their life, in perfect synchronization. It's truly a sight to behold.
Anyway you slice it, this concert was a religious experience that took me to a place of peace and happiness I haven't been to in a while.

DJ Spotlight: Legends of Rock Album Review
Friday, October 23rd, 2015 by Rachel
Whitesnake's new album The Purple Album, released earlier in 2015, shows that after a 35+ year career, they still have relevance today, and are still very talented. This album shows the band's musical flexibility, with styles ranging from metal, to soft rock, to their more familiar classic rock feel. It should be said that I am only really familiar with their more commercially successful songs, specifically Still of the Night and Here I Go Again, so I am not aware of the band's evolution in style over the years. However, this does give me a clear perspective on their skill and the quality of the music on this new album. (more…)

St Paul & The Broken Bones Live 9/12/15
Wednesday, September 16th, 2015 by The Professor
Words & Photos by Katie Kazmierski '18
Paul Janeway of Saint Paul and the Broken Bones sauntered on stage in box-toed shoes almost more sparkly than the Rams Head lights. As he opened with the first song I knew that he wasn't going to put on any ordinary old show, what with his incredible voice and an extremely talented band that compliments it.
Closing my eyes, I felt like I was transported back in time to the 60s when soul music was revolutionary. But instead of Otis Redding, opening my eyes I found Paul Janeway, who looks like just a normal guy—not someone you'd expect to have the extraordinarily powerful voice he does. Turns out he was once just that: a normal guy who worked as an Alabama bank teller. Lucky for us, he met current bassist Jesse Phillips (who Rachel interviews here!) in 2012 and together they embarked on a musical journey with the goal of making music that worked with Janeway's smooth, soulful voice.

Sweetlife Festival Day 2
Thursday, July 16th, 2015 by The Professor
We sent Phil and Brandon to Sweetlife Festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion to shoot some photos and check out some bands. It's fair to say they enjoyed the shows, meeting and interviewing some great acts and enjoying a very cool festival. From a wide variety of food vendors to green power companies, the whole vibe was green, friendly and fun. Brandon covered Day 1, so Phil does Day 2: (more…)

Fundraisers and members of the emergency services were honoured, as well as the Little Heroes – inspirational children.

"It's great what the nominees do for other people and it is about everyone nominated. I've been coming for five years and it increases in popularity every year."

Things I liked: the repeater is awesome-the blueing is better then guns twice as much. the two blade trigger system is crisp and you know how far the travel is. i was blown away how great the quality is. the dove tail scope rail and cut perfectly, the sights are great but i use a 3-9x40 leapers this gun deserves to be shot at long range if i miss its my fault
Things I would have changed: the stock is a little wierd...its wood but not "hard" wood.paint chips ...although it is very light which i do like..i want this gun to come out in nice hard wood stock so i can up grade it...
What others should know: 3-9x40 leapers BARELY clears the lienar magazine with a HIGH scope mount..only use rws super dome or meiserkulgens....the clip will hold 7 i only use 6 so it wont jam.....DONT USE POINTED PELLETS!!! with my scope i punch tight groups 40 yards all day long this is my daily shooter

Things I liked: Awesome! Sweet! No need to buy an expensive PCP when the RM 2800 gives you eight powerful shots on one load. I ordered the ten for $10 certificate and six out of the ten shot were in the mid to high 900's fps. The Mendoza I received came with a black composite stock, not wood as described. The two stage trigger pull is excellent. The Mendosa Diabolo and Gamo Match pellets work well in the magazine but Gamo Hunter pellets are too large for the magazine.
Things I would have changed: I could not get the iron sights to zero in, however, I put a Gamo scope on and it works great with the pre drilled recoil pin hole.
What others should know: Every once in a while,40 or so shots, the safety locks up. The safety disengages to off. the round in the chamber must be fired with extreme pressure on the trigger. I am not sure if this is caused by me doing something when cocking the gun or if it is defect in the gun. Right now I am not worried, if it gets to be a hassle I'll use the year guarantee to get it fixed. I am having way too much fun to return it.

Things I liked: Awesome, sweet. No need to have a PCP. I ordered a ten for ten and the fps with six in the mid to high nine hundreds with a low of 616.4 for the first shot, Mine came with a black composite stock, The blueing was first class.
Things I would have changed: The safety on my jams after thirty or so shots. I haven't figured out yet if it is me or the gun. I could not zero in the iron sights. I replaced them with a Gamo 4X32 varmit hunter kit, works great.
What others should know: At first I had jamming problems with the loader. I found that if you are careful loading the pellets and easy letting off the spring and checking to see that the pellet is seated before you close the barrel it works perfect. I used Gamo match diablo .22 cal 13.88 gr.with no problems. Gamo hunter's will not fit in the loader.

On 24th August 2010, a company by the name of Istijuara Sdn Bhd was awarded a government contract amounting to RM30,800,000 by the Ministry of Youth and Sports. You can see the details below.
Now, that may appear quite normal. After all, billions of government contracts are awarded every year. So what's a small RM30 million or so against the backdrop of hundreds of billions?
The only problem with this 'small' RM30 million contract is that Istijuara Sdn Bhd is owned by Raja Nong Chik Zainal Abidin, the Minister of Federal Territories and Urban Well-being. And this is not his only company and this is not the only government contract that his companies have been awarded.
If you think that Shahrizat Jalil's RM250 million NFC cow project is a cardinal sin, wait till you see how much Raja Nong Chik's companies have taken. Raja Nong Chik's contacts make Shahrizat's RM250 million look like chicken feed by comparison.
Raja Nong Chik's 26-year old daughter, Raja Farhana, is listed as one of the two Directors of the company. She also owns 399,999 of the 400,000 shares. That means she is practically the sole owner of the company with the other Director owning only one share.
Source : Malaysia Today
notasemut : kalau dulu melibatkan keluarga shahrizat, sekarang tiba giliran nong chik pulak. gua nak ulas panjang panjang pun buat sakit hati je. jadi cukupla dengan gua siar semula dokumen bukti yang gua kutip dari MT dan gua highlight sikit sikit bagi senang nampak. bila nak umum tarikh pilihanraya ni najib? hidup melayu! hidup raja! kah kah kah!

U.S. Stymies Iran's Iraq Oil Plan
LONDON—U.S. pressure is threatening to quash Iranian hopes of using oil fields it jointly holds with Iraq as a way to evade sanctions, people familiar with the matter say.
The failure of the cross-border plan is the latest example of Tehran's struggle to find ways to keep its oil revenue out of the reach of measures designed to stop its nuclear program.
Washington is tightening the noose on Tehran with the toughest sanctions...

Theatre 20 presents COMPANY
Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by George Furth
Company, said by many to have launched the age of the modern musical, centres on Robert, a single man unable to commit to a steady relationship, the married couples who are his best friends, and his three on-again off-again girlfriends.
Set in upper-middle-class Manhattan and told through a series of vignettes in no particular chronological order, each character and scene is linked by the celebration of Bobby's 35th birthday.
An honest, witty, sophisticated look at relationships, Company is as contemporary and relevant as ever (seen with the recent hit revivals on Broadway and the West End as well as its transfer to movie theatres). It features a brilliant, energetic score containing many of Sondheim's best-known songs (including "Another Hundred People," "The Ladies Who Lunch" and "Being Alive").
This production features 15 premium audience seats on stage at Bobby's birthday party!
Ticket prices range from $30-$89 and will be available online at canadianstage.com, by phone at 416-368-3110 or in person at the Canadian Stage Box Offices.
Company will be on stage at the Berkeley Street Theatre Downstairs (26 Berkeley Street), previewing June 21-25, and running June 26-July 13, 2014. Performances run Tuesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. with matinees on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. Free post-show talkbacks will occur after select Thursday evening performances.

Vatican Talks For Week Straight On TV
The Vatican has planned a 139-hour bible reading marathon on Italian TV in hopes of making the church more cool. They are calling it "a sort of 'Big Brother' of the Holy Scriptures, but with really high cultural value." Wow.
ROME — Pope Benedict XVI and Roberto Benigni kicked off a televised Bible-reading marathon Sunday night on Italo pubcaster RAI scheduled to last seven days and six nights and become the longest live TV broadcast in Italian history.
Having Roberto Begnini read to me for 139 hours is number seven on my list of horrible ways to be tortured. I love the idea of the Vatican sitting around trying to figure ways to make Catholicism interesting. And that what they come up with is to read the bible for 139 hours? Isn't that why…the church is so boring? The only thing that has made the church remotely interesting in the past 1000 years was the whole kiddies rape thing.
Here's a chart of the projected ratings for the telecast.
But seriously guys, don't miss Saturday night because…yeah, YOU GUESSED IT! Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Bertone will be reading the 22nd chapter of the "Book of Revelation!" FUCK YEAH. That's WAY better than getting drunk and trying to have sex out of wedlock. Oh wait, I can just DVR it.
Variety consoles the alter boy. Seriously, I have no idea why they would publish something like this.

My novel Unforgettable' 33
The end of central reservation looked warped with afternoon heat. The heat haze shimmered and flapped the circumference widely.
"Rika, calm down. You just hurt yourself. Kaori, can you hear me? Are you really on line? Answer me."
"Kei, Kaori-san never answers you. You are too easy, Kei. A person who expects me most is Kaori-san. Kaori-san was waiting for this moment. Is that right? Kaori-san."
Rika was right. If Kaori is concerned about Osawa, Kaori should want to know about Osawa right now, here. Kei forgot himself running to the stairs of subway breathlessly. Once Kei looked away from the display and looked around
The town was dancing with busy signals in the heat of midsummer. As Kei's legs got gradually heavy, the outline of scenery became loose and motionless. Various things around Kei looked bare and floating in the space. Kei stopped and went into the narrow alley.
Kei looked down at the image again with Rika's voice, leaning against the wall of building.
"I got to the middle of condominium. Whose kid is that playing there now?"
The front of slide appeared the moment that the hard, clear blue sky flew in a line with one color. The moment Kei looked away from the silver setting sun with a strong brightness closing down straight. The small head appeared over the light. It went up the stairs shaking right and left. Kei thought it was a boy because it romped about holding the fence on the top of the stairs.
The boy slid down splitting the sunlight and then, the back of a woman appeared suddenly. The tip of hair which grew to the back glowed on her white T-shirt and swayed. She looked like Osawa's wife
"This is live. Listen carefully…."
The darkness fell with the dull sound of unzipping Rika's bag. The soft light sometimes got in through the opening of her bag and the image altered into blue.
"Are you Ryou Osawa's wife?"
There seems to be no response. It made Kei's imagination swell more. If Kaori heard this, she would feel in the same way. If Rika's guess was right, Osawa who was supposed to be there together should feel so.
After a short silence, she said in a transparent voice, "Yes….." She looked like asking mysteriously.
"I'm a girl friend of a guy, Kei Kitami. He was deceived by a girl, Kaori Uemura and doesn't face the reality."
"I don't understand it." The calm voice came to his ears. Then, Rika's slow voice sounded.
"I mean, a girl, Kaori Uemura is a hindrance to me because she has been going out with my boyfriend and your husband."
"Your husband has been dating with Kaori Uemura. Well, I could say Kaori has been dating with your husband. Anyway, it doesn't matter which is which."
There was a long silence. Sometimes children's yell floated over the darkness and died away in the distance.
Kei looked up into space vertically along the wall of a building. The snow-white cloud swam low on the tip of his eyes and drifted far.
Osawa' wife finally opened her mouth. Her voice was much calmer than Kei thought regardless of the fantastic appearance of Rika.
"Well, I vaguely noticed …"
"So, why do you ask him? My boyfriend loves the girl. They should have broken up, but he was still chasing her. He can't put his feelings in order."
Kei didn't hear Rika's answer. Perhaps Rika nodded. Kei wiped the sweat on his eyelids and strained his ears. Kei peered into the image which made a light shade, but there was still the darkness. In the deep darkness, the chain of swing squeaked high.
"I don't doubt you, but I've experienced this kind of harassment so far. Suppose your story is right and I can ask him to reform him, I could feel easy…"
"I didn't come here all the way to tell a lie. Everything is true."
"Yeah, I know."
Silence fell again. The yell of children came back and sounded big, but cracked and went away. Kei lowered his breath under the heat got in.
"I was one year older than him. When he joined the same company where I worked for now, I thought I don't have to be there. I've worked frantically until then. There were many trashy programs and stupid guys besides. I thought I don't want to be outdone by anyone. But I was outdone by him from the first. Though connection is necessary in this world, he refused most of them and attracted the artists one after another, composing his inner elements concretely to appeal the artists who he regards. On the other hand, I was pregnant….but had an abortion. I felt that he doesn't need a child at present and we could not get along if a baby is born….

On Monday's AU we revisit a conversation from April: In our increasingly polarized society, there are constant calls for compromise, for coming together. For many, these are empty talking points—for Lucy Moore, they are a life's work. As an environmental mediator, she has spent the past quarter century resolving conflicts that appeared utterly intractable.
In her book "Common Ground on Hostile Turf" she shares the most compelling stories of her career, offering insight and inspiration to anyone caught in a seemingly hopeless dispute. Moore has worked on a variety of issues—from radioactive waste storage to loss of traditional grazing lands. More importantly, she has worked with diverse groups and individuals: ranchers, environmental activists, government agencies, corporations, tribal groups, and many more.

On September 12, 1964 President Lyndon B. Johnson signed legislation creating Canyonlands National Park: "...in order to preserve an area...possessing superlative scenic, scientific, and archeologic features for the inspiration, benefit and use of the public…"
There will be events of celebration and reflection next week in Moab as part of a year-long recognition of the anniversary. . And a new film "Our Canyon Lands" looks at some issues going forward: "...one of the last vast wild places in the lower 48 sits teetering on a precipice of industrial development.
Vikram Chandra says that even though "computing has transformed our lives...the processes and cultures which produce software remain largely opaque, alien, unknown. He says "whenever I tell one of my fellow authors that I supported myself through the writing of my first novel by working as a programmer and a computer consultant, I evoke a response that mixes bemusement, bafflement, and a touch of awe, as if I'd just said that I could levitate...Many programmers, on the other hand regard themselves as artists."
Are you interested in learning your genealogy and researching your family's history? Have you already traced your lineage back hundreds of years? Or are you just beginning?
Because the LDS church and Ancestry.com share their record libraries with the public and each other, Utah is a mecca for people interested in family history. Genealogy has become the second most popular hobby in the United States. We're going to hear some family history journeys on Monday's AU, including a cowboy who found out he's an Indian; a grandson who's discovering his Japanese heritage while sorting through his grandfather's belongings following his recent passing; and a great granddaughter who has come to admire the courage, resilience, and strength of the women in her family which immigrated from Yugoslavia to work in the Tintic Mining District.
If the trends of population growth and richer diets continue, experts say that by 2050 we will need to double the amount of crops we grow. Jonathan Foley, author of "Food: Feeding Nine Billion," the first of an eight-month series on food, in the May edition of National Geographic, is director of the Institute on the Environment at the University of Minnesota. He lead a team of scientists who confronted a simple question: How can the world double the availability of food while simultaneously cutting the environmental harm caused by agriculture? Foley's team proposed five steps that he says could solve the world's food dilemma. We'll revisit our conversation on Monday's AU.

Go back a few generations and odds are that your family lived and worked on a farm. On Thursday's AU we'll revisit a program from April, and go back to our roots with USU professors Joyce Kinkead, Evelyn Funda, and Lynne McNeill, authors of "Farm: A Multi-Modal Reader," which explores what farms, farming, and farmers mean to us as a culture. "Farm" moves from the Jeffersonian idealism of the yeoman farmer ("Cultivators of the earth are the chosen people of God") to literature of the 19th and 20th centuries (Thoreau's bean field, Cather's prairie novel, Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, as well as very contemporary memoirs like Farm City) to current issues such as agribusiness and chemical farming.
Listen to the program here.
Eboo Patel founded the Interfaith Youth Core to counter the growing problem of religious intolerance and violence at home and abroad. IFYC trains students to bridge the faith-divide through interfaith cooperation. Patel says that "interfaith interactions can be a bomb of destruction, a barrier of division, a bubble of isolation, or a bridge of cooperation." He says that he's inspired to build a bridge of cooperation by his faith as a Muslim, his Indian heritage, and his American citizenship.
Why do we fear vaccines? Upon becoming a new mother, Eula Biss addresses a chronic condition of fear—fear of the government, the medical establishment, and what is in your child's air, food, mattress, medicine, and vaccines. She concludes that you cannot immunize your child, or yourself, from the world. In her new book "On Immunity: An Inoculation," Biss investigates the metaphors and myths surrounding our conception of immunity and its implications for the individual and the social body. She asks what are we more afraid of: the needle, the disease, our scientists and doctors, or each other? As she hears more and more fears about vaccines, Biss researches what they mean for her own child, her immediate community, America, and the world, both historically and in the present moment. She extends a conversation with other mothers to meditations on Voltaire's Candide, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring," Susan Sontag's "AIDS and Its Metaphors," the philosophy of Kierkegaard, and beyond. "On Immunity" shows how we are all interconnected—our bodies and our fates.

Ballot Measure 2, which Alaska voters will decide on Tuesday, has come to be known as the bill that has it all, kitchen sink included.
Sound off on the important issues at
The initiative is also one that has enormous implications for the cruise ships that bring almost a million worldwide visitors to our state each year. It's equally important to Alaska's ports of call and their residents, and the private businesses large and small that work with the cruise ships and their passengers.
Ballot Measure 2, which would impose a $50 tax for each passenger traveling on a cruise ship, is ultimately about fairness and what is right for the residents of this state, and it is a bill whose time has come.
The cruise companies have spent more than $1 million fighting this initiative, but it's a tax they won't even pay themselves. That entire cost will be passed directly to their passengers, as the cruise industry has admitted in its argument that the additional $50 may cause passengers to curtail discretionary spending while in port. That seems unlikely for folks who, on average, will spend some $3,000 per head for their trip.
Measure 2 also will help level the playing field in terms of actual taxes the cruise companies pay at the state and local levels, and provide more disclosure about the on-board promotions that are paid for by local tour providers, trinket shops, bus lines and the like.
The cruise industry is taking credit for paying some $42 million a year in state and local taxes, but that number has been grossly exaggerated. For the years 2003 and 2004, the Northwest CruiseShip Association paid a total of $273,000 in state taxes, according to the Alaska Department of Revenue, and that amounts to but $136,500 for each of those years. The industry does pay several million a year in local property and sales taxes, but the bulk of the rest of the taxes for which it takes credit is paid by cruise passengers and crew. That hardly seems fair for companies whose annual profits are in the billions.
Measure 2 may reach too far with its stringent disclosure requirements for on-board promotions, but at the very minimum it seems fair for passengers to know the cruise companies recommend and promote specific shoreside companies because they are paid to do so - not because of the quality of goods and services that are offered. In Juneau, many smaller, privately owned businesses feel shut out - if not downright bullied - by the cruise companies because they simply can't afford to pay what they say is the industry's very high price of admission.
Buyers of homes, autos and investment services know exactly where their money is going, and that's not at all unreasonable with regard to consumer protection. Even the purchaser of a refrigerator expects a certain degree of protection for his investment. If Measure 2 passes, however, the Alaska Legislature may need to tweak this requirement at its first opportunity.
Measure 2 also calls for the cruise ships that visit Alaska to meet the same clean water standards that other industries must meet and that is only reasonable. Cruise ships are not required to have the same discharge permits that other businesses must have. The ships are monitored for fecal coliform and suspended solids, but oversight is minimal for other contaminants such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons and other substances found in items such as lubricants and solvents - especially compared to the far more rigorous standards that mines, fish processors and municipalities face.
Measure 2 isn't an attack on the cruise industry, as the industry has characterized it with ads suggesting that local schools will have fewer tax dollars for education if the measure passes. How would Measure 2 make for fewer tax dollars at the local level? Are the cruise lines going to stop coming to Alaska? Highly unlikely. Are they going to no longer stop in Ketchikan or Juneau? Highly unlikely.
The bill that voters will decide on Tuesday contains a lot and it is far from ideal as even its framers will admit. But with the Legislature as unwilling as it to has been to make the cruise industry pay its fair share, it's up to voters to take action.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are already seeing the benefits of drafting pitchers with ace potential. Gerrit Cole, the first overall pick in the 2011 Amateur Draft, made his debut on June 11. When Cole was drafted, he was said to have "ace" potential because of a big frame, a power fastball that could touch 100 mph and a wipe-out slider. In 61 innings in his debut season with the Pirates, Cole has a 3.69 ERA.
Jameson Taillon, drafted second overall in the 2010 Amateur Draft out of high school, is another pitcher with a huge frame who can throw 100 mph. For him, his wipe-out pitch is his curveball. He has spent a little over two seasons in the minor leagues so far. He began this season in Double-A with the Altoona Curve, where he spent the end of the 2012 season as well. In 127.1 innings in Double-A, Taillon had a 3.39 ERA with 8.8 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9.
I say Taillon "had" a 3.39 ERA in 127.1 innings with the Curve because he has now been promoted to the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians. The fact that Cole is already with the Pirates despite being drafted a year later than Taillon isn't a surprise, Taillon was drafted as a high school pitcher, and Cole was drafted out of college. College pitchers tend to reach the big leagues quicker because they are more polished.
Taillon will likely make his Triple-A debut on Monday. If Taillon takes the same road as Cole while in Triple-A, he will probably make his MLB debut in June.

Fred Jackson: The Buffalo Bills' Secret WeaponMay 26, 2009
Shhh. The Buffalo Bills have a secret weapon on offense.
It's not Lee Evans. It's not Marshawn Lynch. It's not even Terrell Owens. Heck, it's a guy who doesn't even start.
The Bills' secret weapon is running back Fred Jackson.
The obvious question is: How can a guy who will at best be No. 2 on the Bills depth chart at running back behind Lynch—and possibly No. 3 behind newly signed Dominic Rhodes—be that important to Buffalo's offense?
That's easy. Just ask Buffalo's rival in the AFC East, the New England Patriots.
The Bills coaching staff views Jackson as a similar kind of player to the Patriots' Kevin Faulk.
Faulk has only started 24 games since 2001 and 18 of those starts came in 2003 and 2007, due mainly to injury situations.
However, Faulk has been one of the key components of New England's successful offenses under Bill Belichick, despite being a backup during most of his career with the Patriots.
While Faulk has never been a guy to carry the ball 20 to 25 times a game, he's been very effective on quick draws out of the shotgun formation, and is also one of the best pass catching backs in the NFL, making him extremely dangerous on third downs and helping the Patriots keep drives alive.
The Bills believe Jackson can do the same type of things for their offense this season.
Jackson is no stranger to exceeding expectations. An undrafted free agent out of tiny Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Jackson appeared in all 16 games for Buffalo last season and played very well both filling in for and spelling Lynch.
As Lynch's backup, Jackson rushed for a respectful 571 yards on 130 carries and ended the season with a career-high, 136-yard performance against the Patriots.
While Jackson showed promise as a runner, he'll probably never be more than a backup in that department. It's as a receiver out of the backfield where the Bills think he can do the most damage, particularly on third downs where Jackson presents a mismatch for most safeties and linebackers in the NFL.
Jackson caught 37 passes for 317 yards in 2008, with 11 of those receptions going for first downs. Toss in the 22 catches Jackson recorded in his first season with the Bills, and that's 59 receptions in two years for a backup running back.
If you listen to the talk coming out of Orchard Park this summer, Jackson should easily eclipse his career high in receptions this season as the Bills primary pass catcher coming out of the backfield.
With T.O. in town and all the speculation about getting the ball down the field more, there hasn't been much talk about Jackson, but make no mistake about it, he's going to have a big role in the Bills offense this fall. A very big role.
Players like Jackson and Faulk don't get a lot of publicity because they aren't flashy. They do the little things that help a team win—things that may not show up on a stat sheet.
But ask Tom Brady how important Faulk is to the offense and you can't get him to shut up about his veteran running back. That's how much respect Brady has for what Faulk does and what he means to the Patriots offense.
So when the Bills have a third down situation this season, make sure you locate No. 22. You can bet opposing defenses will. If they don't, Fred Jackson is going to make them pay all year long.
Pretty soon, everyone will know about the Bills' secret weapon.

Nacer Chadli: Dele Alli Tottenham goal 'not lucky'; he always scores in training
LONDON -- Nacer Chadli insists Dele Alli's stunning goal against Crystal Palace was no fluke, and has backed his Tottenham teammate to have an impact at Euro 2016 this summer.
Alli, 19, scored a sensational volley six minutes from time to give Tottenham the lead at Selhurst Park, controlling the ball, flicking it over Palace's Mile Jedinak and finishing from 20 yards.
Harry Kane had earlier cancelled out Jan Vertonghen's own goal, and Chadli wrapped up a vital 3-1 win for Spurs with a curling effort in stoppage time.
All the postmatch talk was of Alli's goal-of-the-season contender, and Chadli revealed the strike was the result of practice rather than luck.
- Bell: Liverpool fans make themselves heard
- Cox: Leicester improving | Why Poch should stay
- Okwonga: Man United's market | City's title hopes
- Laurens: PSG's pre-UCL issues | Hertha's curse
- Highlights (U.S. only): Stuttgart 1-3 BVB
- FC TV: Champions League W2W4 | LVG wrong
- News | Transfer | Toe Poke | Fantasy | FC TV | Podcast | MLS
"Dele's goal was fantastic, a nice volley. It was unbelievable to see. I've not really [seen that] from a teammate, I never saw this," Chadli told reporters.
"Dele does [that kind of] volley in training. He's always scoring nice goals. He always gets in good positions in training and you can see it in the games. He's not lucky.
"I'm very impressed because it seems like he has a lot of experience. He's a very young player with a lot of potential. He's working hard. He's going to be a great player.
"He's a very nice lad, always smiling. I have a very good relationship with him and he's a very nice guy."
Alli also scored a stunner against France on his full England debut in November, and Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson was at Selhurst Park to witness the 19-year-old's moment of magic.
Belgium international Chadli expects his teammate to be included in Hodgson's 23-man squad for Euro 2016, and backed Alli to replicate his domestic form at the finals in France.
"The way he's playing this season, he's going to be picked and after it's up to him," he said. "He's shown his quality in the Premier League and he can do it at the European Championship.
"He's a very skilful player. He's got everything in his locker. He's still young, so he has to work hard but I think he knows that, so that's good."
Alli's strike overshadowed a brilliant 34-minute showing from Chadli, who crossed for Kane's headed equaliser before scoring a precision curling shot from 25 yards.
The Belgian, who scored 11 league goals last season, was ruled out for two months after picking up an ankle injury against Liverpool in October -- his last Premier League start for the club -- but says he is getting back to his best.
"It was a long injury," he said. "I had to get to fitness and feel nothing from the injury, which was hard. It was a long wait but yeah, I'm getting there and it's very nice.
"We have a lot of good players in the team and I'm just doing my job. I hope I can get time to show my skills."
Saturday's victory moved Spurs five points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United, who lost to Southampton, and Chadli believes it could prove significant.
"It's a big win, especially here where it's not easy to win," he added. "For us, it was a big game and we did very well. I'm very pleased with the team and everybody is very happy."

Parents Must Immunize Their Children Or Go To Jail
Mark Century
Prince Georges County, MD
1,600 school children and their parents have been ordered to appear in circuit court this Saturday where health workers will immediately force them to receive required shots. Parents who don't bring their children to court for the shots are to be jailed.
"We can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way, but it's going to have to get done." said State Attorney Glenn Ivey.

AMETEK Launches Florida Center of Excellence
Tuesday, April 14, 2015
CONTACT: Vin Misciagna (+1) 305-599-1471
MIAMI, FL – AMETEK MRO, a division of AMETEK Aerospace & Defense and a leading supplier of Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services to the global aviation industry, is pleased to announce the formation of AMETEK MRO Florida, Inc. The new company brand comprises existing AMETEK MRO Miami based business units, Avtech Avionics & Instruments (AAI) and Aero Components International (ACI), and has been established to enhance the services and value they provide to the industry.
"This strategic action takes place in two phases to streamline and improveour Miami operations, making it easier for customers to do business with us," comments Vin Misciagna, Vice President & General Manager of AMETEK MRO. "The creation of AMETEK MRO Florida, Inc., our new Miami-based Center of Excellence, confirms our commitment to expand and improve our services to the aviation MRO market."
"The first phase occurs this month when two of the Miami facilities, ACI and AAI, are encompassed under the new company, providing our customers with a single entity capable of delivering a broad range of integrated services. The current management teams for both business units will oversee the transition to ensure stability and continuity of service for all existing customers. We are confident that this initiative will improve and expand our relationships with those customers as well as attract new business," he adds.
Collectively, AMETEK MRO Florida, Inc. – ACI and AAI – offers high-quality and innovative avionics, instrument, radio, fuel, power generation, pneumatics, hydraulics, and electromechanical component solutions.
"The two business units are a good fit," continues Mr. Misciagna. "They share the same management approach and have skilled and experienced personnel, working to exceptionally high service levels with the goal of delivering reliability, value, and innovation to our customers. Furthermore, each unit's expertise complements the other so that we can now offer customers a one-stop shop that delivers a broader range of services from one company."
Phase two occurs this summer with the consolidation of our High Standard Aviation (HAS) business into ACI. "This will happen at an expanded, new facility located in Doral, FL, which will become AMETEK MRO's North American Center of Excellence for power generation, fuel components, hydraulics, and pneumatic system components. This is consistent with AMETEK MRO's strategy to establish multiple Centers of Excellence in component overhaul and repair."
With facilities located in North America, Europe and Asia, AMETEK MRO offers a breadth of capabilities and local service options that very few third party MROs can match. This is the first of many strategic actions taken to expand capability and continually improve how we serve our customers" concludes Mr. Misciagna.

Bang with FriendsBack in the college-only golden age of Facebook, there were no illusions about its purpose: getting laid. But the landscape has become harder to navigate with your mom tagging you in baby photos and various other game-killing innovations. The new app Bang with Friends hopes to bring Facebook back to the basics of hooking up.
But don't worry, they say they can do it while sparing you the embarrassment of telling your friends you want to smang until the app is sure your friend wants to smang, too. In a perfect world we'd all just casually tell our attractive friends that we'd like to get busy, but until everyone stumbles upon enlightenment, we've got Bang with Friends.
We haven't tried it yet (promise) but I doubt it will be long until one of my friends gives it a run. No shame if you're interested—like I said, isn't that the entire point of Facebook? Fictionalized Zuckerberg even said as much in The Social Network. Our only advice is to take a sober test run to figure out the mechanics before you drunkenly click around after a night out. Sending an anonymous tip to the office hottie is all good as long as you don't accidentally click on your cousin.—Angelo

Welcome to The Scholar, ABCs first-ever Jacuzzi-free reality show! Ten intelligent, over-achieving high school seniors will compete in a series of challenges in order to win a college scholarship worth up to $250,000. All of these students have the brains, but not necessarily the financial means to go to the colleges of their dreams.
The students will compete both as teams and as individuals while being judged by the Scholarship Committee, a group comprised of three college admissions experts. The contestants will be judges, not on intellect alone, but also on their creativity, ethics, potential to learn and grow, leadership, and the ability to stand up for what they believe in.
So get out your protractors and lets meet the contestants!
The Scholars
As the students arrive at the Scholar residence - an older, dorm-like house located in Los Angeles, CA - we learn a bit about the contestants through their voice-overs and captions under their names.

Davis Memphis, TN
He wants to be the president because he wants to see a change in American culture. Davis thinks he is the most practically smart person he knows, and given any problem, he is more likely to solve it than anyone. He wants to win, and he will. He manages to earn the dislike of Scot within moments of meeting. GPA: 4.6 Political activist.
Gerald Commerce, TX
His intelligence doesnt define him; it is just a part of him. GPA: 3.91 Varsity mascot.
Melissa Tarzana, CA
Her goal in life is to have a positive effect on the lives of others. She was diagnosed with scoliosis at age of 10 and had a serious surgery to correct her spine, but hasnt let it get in her way. She feels she has been very fortunate throughout her life and wants to give back in a small way. GPA: 4.2 Produces charity events.
As the students arrive and greet each other, one cant help but notice that they are all very polite and well mannered, exchanging introductions and compliments. I notice that their residence is seemingly bereft of the usual swimming pools and hot tubs that grace the sets of most reality shows. Hmm, what will they do for fun? My question is quickly answered as the students check out the laptops provided to them, shouting out specs to each other and proclaiming their satisfaction. Ah, a show after my own tech-geek heart.
Let the games begin!
The scholars arrive at the USC campus and meet the shows host, Rob Nelson, Juris Doctor, Stanford Law School. He explains that the contestants will be judged on their intellect, creativity, character, and leadership abilities. Ultimately, their fate will be in the hands of the scholarship committee, comprised of the three admissions officers, Marquesa Lawrence, Shawn Abbott, and Peter Johnson.
Each weeks competition will have three rounds:
1. The Captains Quiz
2. The Team Challenge
3. The Admissions Showdown
The Captains Quiz is a timed test where all of the contestants will compete individually. The two individuals with the most correct answers and the best times will win, and become the team captains for round two.
The two captains will select their teams for participation in the Team Challenge.
The captain of the winning team moves on the Admissions Showdown and competes against two others chosen by the Scholarship Committee. The winner of each Admissions Showdown will win one of the five finalist spots and compete for the ultimate prize, the full-ride scholarship.
The Captains Quiz
The first Captains Quiz begins immediately. This first test is a history quiz, focusing on space exploration. The test will consist of eight events and sixteen years, which need to be matched up accordingly. The two with the most correct answers will win, and the fastest time will be used as the tie-breaker.
Id love to share the questions and answers with you, but unfortunately, a weather-advisory was running across my screen during this portion of the show.
Several of the contestants are concerned that their knowledge of the space program is very limited, but Davis is bursting with confidence, having recently read many books about John F. Kennedy that contained a lot of relevant information.
At the end of the quiz, Rob announces the results:
Davis, Alyssa, and Jeremy each had the same number of correct answers.
Alyssa completed her test in 2 minutes and 14.3 seconds.
Jeremys time was 1 minute and 34.5 seconds.
Davis is the winner, with a time of 1 minute and 34.1 seconds merely 4/10 of a second ahead of Jeremy.
Before sending the students off for a lunch break, Rob reminds them that theyll return to compete as teams. He also adds one bit of new, and very exciting information: the person who wins the Admissions Showdown will win, not only a coveted position in the final five, but also a $50,000 scholarship courtesy of everyones favorite corporation, Wal-Mart. Jaws drop all around and the kids are obviously excited to learn that five of them will win $50,000. While it isnt the big prize, the money will still make a sizable difference in financing their education.
Jeremy is especially moved by this news, and is determined to win this first scholarship and fulfill his dreams. We learn a little more about Jeremy, who is very proud of his Vietnamese heritage and comes from a close family. His parents had a rough immigration to the US, spending seven days in a boat with very little water to drink. He is very appreciative of the sacrifices his parents made, including their own educations, to provide a better life for their children.
During their lunch break, the students begin chatting and getting to know each other. Melissa poses the question, How do you label yourself, and how do others label you? Gerlald says he is in the band nerd/theater group (hey, that was my group!). Scot says he is the home-schoolster, and Melissa falls in with the musician crowd. Davis says that he is the person that everyone knows, and they either love or hate him. He claims to like it this way. We are privy to a confessional from Alyssa who says it is simple; Davis just rubs her the wrong way.
The Team Challenge
After lunch, the contestants regroup and meet up with Rob and the committee. Rob explains that the team challenge will consist of a series of puzzles and brainteasers directly related to a college curriculum. They will have to solve these puzzles from a number of locations on the USC campus and email their answers to Rob, using the laptop provided.
Davis and Jeremy, having won the Captains Quiz, come forward to pick their teams. Daviss team will be the Gold Team, and Jeremys team is the Red Team. Creative, huh? Actually, the names were chosen for them. Im sure Davis would have named his team after himself if given the opportunity. Since Davis had the fastest time, he gets to pick first. He chooses Liz as the first member of his team. The rest of the picks are as follows:
Jeremy: Alyssa
Davis: Melissa
Jeremy: Scot
Davis: Max
Jeremy: Amari
Davis: Gerald
Jeremy: Milana
Neither Gerald nor Milana are especially thrilled to be chosen last. This method of choosing teams seems to bring back childhood nightmares to even the most confident of contestants. Milana, however, is not surprised to be chosen last because she doesnt know her fellow contestants yet, and she did finish last in the quiz.
The teams gather their laptops and clue envelopes and begin hustling. They huddle around the campus maps trying to locate their destinations. When they believe they know where they are going, they get moving quickly.
Both teams are shown working on the first challenge. They are provided with a stick puzzle of a cow. Moving only two sticks, they must rearrange the puzzle so that the cow is now facing to the right instead of to the left. After a bit of brainstorming, Gold Teams Melissa seems to be on to something when she suggest that they move two sticks that cause the cow to look back over its shoulder. The rest of her teammates find this solution satisfactory and they race off to the next challenge after emailing their solution to Rob.
Meanwhile, the Red Team struggles with the same puzzle and comes up with a different solution. They move a different set of sticks than Team Davis did and come up with a slightly different figure. They worry that their cow is not looking to the right, but feel that they can explain this by claiming that the cow is upside-down.
Both teams hustle to Room Two, which contains three numbered switches controlling three lights on the opposite side of the wall. They must determine which switch controls which light, and they are allowed only one trip to the other side of the wall to view the lights. Both teams discuss a number of alternatives and try to do their best deductive reasoning. A voiceover narration informs us that they key to this challenge is the fact that light emanates heat. If they turn on two switches, and then turn one off, they should find that of the three bulbs, one is on, one is warm but turned off, and the last is off. It is unclear if either team came to this conclusion, but they send off their answers and move on to the last part of the challenge.
The two teams arrive at the third puzzle, a cryptogram. For those of you unfamiliar with cryptology, a cryptogram is a word puzzle where each letter is represented by a number or symbol and must be decoded to reveal a familiar phrase. Ill hide the answer below if youd like to try and solve it. The puzzle is as follows:
24-1-2-10-25-18-17-20-18 16-2-26-18-6,
15-8-7 10-22-6-17-2-26 25-22-1-20-18-5-6
Team Jeremy (Red) arrives first and begins working furiously. When Team Davis (Gold) arrives moments later, both teams lower their voices and begin to whisper and gesture to avoid revealing their answers to the other team. Jeremy and Scot work quickly and lead their team to a fast finish. Highlight the following to read the answer:Click to see Spoiler:Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.
Red Team emails their answer and scurries off to the finish line. When Gold Team realizes their opponents have departed, Davis wisely suggests to his team that they take their time. The other team will have beaten their time, so it is important that they make sure that their answer is correct. They arrive at the same answer and head off to meet the other team and Host Rob.
Rob congratulates Red Team on being the first ones back and tells them they got answered every question correctly they begin clapping excitedly EXCEPT, he says, for one. Psych! (Now Rob, that wasnt very nice. Tsk, tsk.) Red Team quickly deflates as Rob informs them that they did not do the cow puzzle correctly.
Rob addresses Gold Team and explains that since they arrived behind Red Team, it is imperative that they will have answered all the questions correctly and they have. Gold Team celebrates their victory with high-fives and a quick huddle. As the captain of his team, Davis automatically advances to the Admissions Showdown. Jeremy looks crestfallen since he did not lead his team to victory, even though he, like all the others, is still eligible to be chosen for the Showdown.
Rob asks Davis to identify the member of his team that helped him the most. Davis answers that since the cow puzzles being completed correctly was the reason that they beat the other team, he would have to say Melissa. She was the person who came to the right answer. Melissa looks very pleased and confesses she is very honored to have been chosen as MVP, even though she feels she slowed her team down by second-guessing herself. Turning to Jeremy, Rob asks him to answer honestly and pick the person who hindered his team the most. Looking at his team, Jeremy says that they all did a good job. As the leader, he believes it was his responsibility to ensure that his team answered correctly, so he identifies himself as the biggest hindrance to their success. Rob seems impressed with the young mans willingness to shoulder the blame. Red Team gathers around their leader and let Jeremy know that they dont believe he was at fault no one person in particular is to blame. Obviously, they are all grateful to have not been singled out for their flaws, and Jeremy has earned some favor with them.
Getting to Know You
Back at Casa de Scholar, a perky young woman who identifies herself as Francine greets the contestants. She is their R.A. (resident advisor), and will be there in the house with them should they need her assistance. As anyone who has been to college knows, she is really there to put an end to any raging keg parties and to make sure that no one is hung up on a hook by their underwear. This doesnt look like that kind of crowd, but you never know. Francine is also in charge of posting the list of contestants chosen to participate in the Showdown.
The kids head off to have dinner in Hollywood, excited to be there. They dine on what appears to be Asian cuisine around a large steamy table. Alyssas irritation with Davis bubbles to the surface and she asks him if he thinks he is hot. He says, of course, everyone is always telling him that. The others look on in amusement. Alyssa tells Davis that while confidence is great, the level to which he thinks of himself is very unattractive. He is not bothered by her comments and there is no love lost between these two. My instincts tell me that we can look forward to further confrontations between them in the next few weeks. Oh goody.
Back at the house, the students sit around and reveal their nerves and worries about the competition. Scot tells the others that as the days go by, he will begin to panic if he hasnt had the opportunity to compete in a Showdown. The others nod in agreement, and the sense of competition begins to settle in. On the confession cam, Melissa worries and tries to face the fact that she may not win this competition. Meanwhile, Davis is cockier than ever, describing himself as the big fish in a small pond.
To Boob or Not to Boob
The next morning, everyone is squeezed into the kitchen getting breakfast together. Liz starts a conversation about whether or not the word boob can be used as a verb. Hmm, intellectual curiosity at its finest. The others look at her curiously and she demonstrates by thrusting her chest against Amaris back, proclaiming, I just boobed you in the back. Okay Liz, I get it. But that brings up so many questions! For example, if she were to do it again, would that be considered re-boobing? And most importantly- can you play that in Scrabble?
Davis teases her and tells her that must be an Idaho thing. She replies with yeah, so its cool, and later, I hate you. This pleases Davis, as Liz is emerging as someone who clearly does not hate him. He confesses that he finds them very alike. Meanwhile, Liz tells the confessional cam that she feels closer to Davis than anyone in the house and that he gives her butterflies. Their flirtation develops, as most high school crushing does, into a pillow fight and tickling on the couch.
The Interviews
The students meet individually with the Scholarship Committee to determine who will join Davis in the Showdown. We dont see all of the interviews, but just hit the highlights.
Gerald explains that his strategy in the first team challenge was to sit back and study the team dynamics. The committee members, less than impressed, remind him that he may never be with that team again, and ask if he felt he could have done more to help the team. Theyd like to see more from him in future challenges.
The judges are impressed with Jeremys decision to fall on his sword. He tells them that at a time of failure, he feels that the leader must step forward and accept responsibility.
Max explains that some of the challenges so far have not been in his repertoire. When the committee asks him what his thing is, he is tongue-tied and nervous and struggles to come up with an answer.
The have observed that Alyssa is easily frustrated. She replies that it is in her nature to have a short temper, and she knows it is a character flaw she must work on. The judges express their concerns that this will hinder her in future challenges.
When Melissa arrives for her interview, the judges comment that she appears shy and uncomfortable with this situation. They ask if the recent win has done anything to boost her confidence. Melissa begins to tear up and admits that she had self-doubt when she came into the competition, but that she is starting to see a side of herself that she was not previously able to bring out.
The committee deliberates, reviewing the contestants strengths and weaknesses. They agree that Gerald, Max, and Alyssa failed to impress them and will not be further considered for the Showdown at this point. They turn their attention to the Gold Team and recall that Melissa and Liz worked hard for their team. On the Red Team, Jeremy showed good leadership skills in taking control and Scot also stepped forward to assist the team. They had worried that Scots home-schooling may be hindrance to him socially, but are pleased to find that is not the case. Amari also made an impression in that she was very interactive and helped keep the team on track.
Of the five people they are leaning towards, the judges all agree that Melissa was the star of the group. They conclude that Amari was not as strong as the others, and that the last spot should go to Liz, Scot, or Jeremy.
The Lucky Three
At the house, the students are excited to see Francine posting the results of the judges deliberations. The three contestants selected to compete in the Showdown are Davis, Melissa, and Jeremy. The topic for this first competition will be 19th and 20th century literature. Melissas self-doubts resurface, as she fears she is out of her league. Jeremy is scared, because literature is not his best subject. Davis isnt worried. He feels he is at the top of the food chain.
Jeremy and Melissa quickly gather their books and help each other to prepare, while Davis does push-ups on the kitchen floor. As Alyssa steps over him on her way to the refrigerator, she smirks at his choice to workout rather than study. He eventually joins the others in their study session and feels sure he knows the matter better than his opponents. His arrogance is beyond unbelievable. I hope he is playing it up for the camera, but somehow, I dont think so.
During their study session, Melissa mentions Hemingways The Old Man and the Sea at one point and also worries that she will mix up the existentialists. When Jeremy looks at her, clueless, she explains to him about the existentialists. She seems to sincerely want to help the others, while Davis seems less likely to offer up any information to his opponents. He picks up a copy of Gone With the Wind and jokes if anyone wants to read it really quickly. Oh Davis, your astounding wit and amazing hotness are killing me.
Before the Showdown, Jeremy calls his father and tells him about his opportunity to compete for $50,000. Jeremy says he will be crushed if he doesnt win. The rest of the housemates offer their encouragement to the competitors as they leave for the Showdown. Liz says she thinks that Daviss confidence gives him an advantage, while Alyssa says she is rooting for Jeremy. Scot believes that Davis, Melissa, and Jeremy all have different strengths, and doesnt recognize a frontrunner at this point.
The Admissions Showdown
The students arrive at the Admissions Showdown to compete for the first $50,000 scholarship. Melissa, Davis, and Jeremy stand at the podiums while the others take a seat to the side. Rob explains the rules of the Showdown. The order has been randomly selected, and it has been determined that Jeremy will be first, followed by Davis, then Melissa. Each person will have a different question and one minute to answer. The first person to answer incorrectly will be eliminated, and the questions will continue until one of the final two answers a final question correctly. The questions are as follows (highlight the spoiler to read the correct answer):
Jeremy Hester Prynne wore an A on her chest in what Nathaniel Hawthorne novel?
Click to see Spoiler:The Scarlett Letter
Jeremy answers correctly.
Davis What American patriot was the subject of this Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem?
Listen my children
And you shall hear
Of the midnight ride
OfClick to see Spoiler:Paul Revere
Davis answers correctly.
Melissa What famous Mark Twain character convinced others to whitewash a fence?
Click to see Spoiler:Tom Sawyer
Melissa answers correctly.
Jeremy What Jack London novel featured a kidnapped canine named Buck?
Click to see Spoiler:Call of the Wild
Jeremy misses this one, answering. He looks devastated as he is eliminated and takes his seat with the others.Click to see Spoiler:White Fang
Davis Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy are sisters in what Louisa May Alcott novel?
Click to see Spoiler:Little Women
Melissa The Telltale Heart and The Pit and the Pendulum are short stories by what master of the macabre?Click to see Spoiler:Edgar Allen Poe
Davis Who wrote the novel, Gone With the Wind?
Click to see Spoiler:Margaret Mitchell
Davis looks ill as he recalls his little joke prior to leaving the house. He tries to remember, but cant come up with the answer. He turns and stares at Melissa, as if willing her to miss her next question.
Melissa In what Ernest Hemingway novella does the character Santiago say the following? I have never seen or heard of such a fish, but I must kill him. I am glad we
do not have to try and kill the stars.
Click to see Spoiler:The Old Man and the Sea
Davis squeezes his eyes shut as he realizes that Melissa knows this answer. She pauses to reflect before answering. Maybe she is trying to psyche Davis out, but I think she wants to be very sure and not jump the gun, since she has a full minute to answer. When she finally speaks, she answers correctly and becomes the first winner of the $50,000 scholarship as well as a guaranteed place in the final five!
The rest of the students spring from their seats and rush over to congratulate Melissa. Several of them are obviously happy that the oh-so-cocky Davis has been knocked down a notch. Jeremy is distraught over his loss and is afraid to call his parents and let them down. Davis is sure he will do better next time and be back in the Showdown again. Melissa is elated, knowing that the $50,000 is a guarantee that she will be able to go to college after all.
Next week: The competition continues. Jeremy is more determined than ever, and a second person wins a spot in the final five.

Window Quilt Insulated Shades keep your home more comfortable all year long
Window Quilt's four way seal stops all air passing through leaky or ill-fitting windows. Dramatically cutting airflow around the shade's sides while pressure seals close off the top and bottom is vitally important in blocking infiltration of warm or cold air. Window Quilt insulating shades are simply the most effective product available.
- Side tracks stop air leaks
- Insulating fabric layers
Stay warmer in the winter
During the colder months, warm air inside the house can be lost through the window opening.Window Quilt blocks this energy from escaping, keeping the warmth inside.
Stay cooler in the summer with Window Quilt
This is what is known as solar heat gain, in the warmer months, solar radiation is the main contributor to warming your house. Window Quilts block this energy from entering in the summer, reducing cooling costs during the season in which energy usage is traditionally at its highest.
Available in light-filtering and room-darkening.
How do shades insulate your windows?
Did you know that large uncovered windows are the biggest source of heat loss from a well insulated home?
Innovative Openings has specialized in Insulated Shutters and Shades since 1980. The key to understanding window heat loss starts with an analysis of your home and windows.
Heat escapes through windows by 3 different methods:
Conductive heat loss at window openings
Window Quilt Insulated Shade
If the windows tightly sealed (weatherstripping), conductive heat loss is typically the largest source of heat loss. R-value becomes the most important measure of heat loss through these windows. An insulated window shade that adds an R-value of 2 will cut the heat-loss through a double glazed window (approximately R-value = 2) by 50%. An R-6 shade would reduce heat loss through the same window by 75%.
Some of our best solutions include Duette Architella Honeycomb Shades and Window Quilt Insulated Shades.
Air infiltration at window openings
With windows that have a loose fitting window sash, air infiltration can be a larger source of heat loss than conductive heat loss. The first step is to address the window seal with caulk, weatherstripping, storm windows, or replacement windows. Window shades with tight sealing track systems will further reduce any air infiltration. This is often a good solution for aluminum sliding windows.
Some of our best soutions include ComforTrack Insulated Shades and Window Quilt Insulated Shades.
Radiant heat loss at window openings
Radiant heat loss is shown by the cold drafty feeling that you get by sitting next to a large uncovered window on a cold winter night. Closing any type of window covering over this window will make the room feel warmer, but certain window treatment choices will provide greater comfort and efficiency. Ideally, a shade with reflective properties will reflect the cold out and keep the heat from radiating out and provide an effective radiant heat barrier.
Some of our best solutions include SilverScreen Shades Duette Architella Honeycomb Shades and Window Quilt Insulated Shades.

This bag is perfect for an athletic trainer travel bag or emergency bag. It fits all the supplies you would take in a trainer's trunk and it is much easier to transport. This bag holds emergency supplies, an AED, and different types of tapes and pre-wrap, including first aid supplies. I would recommend this bag for any athletic trainer that does not want to pay 500 dollars for a bag; and this holds up great – very strong material.
