A Tyneside engineering group's apprentice scheme to nurture its next generation of skilled employees is the first in the North East to gain an official stamp of approval from the industry's leading representative body.
British Engines' Apprenticeship+ programme, launched last September, is doubling the number of apprentices at the firm based in St Peters, Newcastle, offering an unparalleled opportunity for trainees to break into the engineering industry.
The Certificate of Accreditation from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) recognises the quality of the Apprenticeship+ scheme and the importance of a new wave of highly-skilled engineers to British Engines and the wider regional economy.
It meets the aims of Prime Minister David Cameron who has launched a new drive to create 100,000 registered engineering technicians by 2018.
The British Engines group of companies employs 1,100 people - mainly in the North East, but also all over the world – and operates in a number of engineering sectors, primarily oil and gas. Its Apprenticeship+ programme is both a solution to a shortage of skilled engineers and reflects a continuing ambition to expand its business.
Denis Healy, business development manager at IMechE, said: "This is a great day for British Engines and their apprentices. This recognition, which is the first of its kind in the North East, reflects well on the company, but also brings great benefit to the apprentices as they pursue their careers.
"Not everybody has the luxury of being part of a company like British Engines. Central Government has recognised that engineering has become essential to solving our economic problems and predicts a significant shortfall of engineers over the next five years.
"So a supply of high-quality engineers to meet this need is now urgent. The IMechE resources available to British Engines apprentices following recognition will enable them to progress their careers in engineering to the very highest level, as well as enabling them to start their careers with an officially-recognised professional accreditation."
Richard Dodd, group product and engineering director at British Engines, said: "We are delighted to receive this accreditation which is a reflection of the hard work put into our programme, in particular by our apprentices.
"Being the first company in the North East to receive this recognition is particularly gratifying. We are very proud of our apprentices and they should take great pride in this award which recognises their efforts and importance to our business."
British Engines has trained hundreds of apprentices since 1966 and Apprenticeship+ – its own training academy – offers apprentices both practical and academic training through three levels: Foundation; Intermediate; and the four-year Advanced level.
The Apprenticeship+ programme has been developed with British Engines' training partner TDR.
Its systems manager Steve Lambert said: "This is very different to what other major engineering companies do.
"The standard method there is to give apprentices a round robin experience of the different departments of the company. At British Engines, their learning will take place in just one area so they become more productive more quickly."
IMechE is the fastest-growing professional engineering institution in the UK. Its 100,000 members work at the heart of one of the country's most important and dynamic industries.
With a 160-year heritage, it works with leading companies, universities and think tanks, creating and sharing knowledge to provide government, businesses and the public with fresh thinking and authoritative guidance on all aspects of mechanical engineering.

Islam is the acceptance of and the obedience to the teachings of God which He revealed to His last Prophet Muhamad. Those who do that are called Muslims. Islam is not only a religion, but a complete way of life.
The Creator of everything is Allah. He is Almighty. He has no partner. He is infinite, he has no beginning and has no end, unlike creation which is always finite. He has no wife or children as he was not born and does not have children. He is unique like no other. He knows everything, sees everything and hears everything. There is nothing in the entire universe that is worthy of worship except the Creator. There is no greater sin that Shirk, which means to associate partners with Allah and believe that they can give us benefit or cause us harm, or worship others besides Him.
Allah has beautiful names which indicate His attributes. He is Kind and Loving. He is Gracious and Merciful. He is Forgiving. The Creator has told us many of His beautiful names, the most preferred being Allah.

Say (O Muhammad (SAW)): "He is Allâh, (the) One. (1) "Allâh-us-Samad

Allah selected certain righteous humans to deliver His message to mankind. These people were called prophets or messengers. They received revelation from Allah through the angel Gabriel. All the prophets, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, all commanded mankind to worship Allah alone with no partner.
Muhamad was the last Prophet. Allah chose him to reveal His Last Message. The Prophet Muhamad received the Noble Quran from Allah through the Angel Gabriel. A Muslim must believe in all the prophets from Adam to Muhammed (Peace be upon them all). Those who obey Allah and follow the teachings of His Prophet Muhammad shall be rewarded with Paradise in the Hereafter

Islam is based upon five pillars;

Surah Al-Baqara
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting)[] is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqûn (the pious – see V.2:2). (183)

(translation of the meaning)
Surah Al-E-Imran
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
In it are manifest signs (for example), the Maqâm (place) of Ibrâhim (Abraham); whosoever enters it, he attains security. And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka'bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allâh, those who can afford the expenses (for one's conveyance, provision and residence); and whoever disbelieves [i.e. denies Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah), then he is a disbeliever of Allâh], then Allâh stands not in need of any of the 'Alamîn (mankind and jinn and all that exsists). (97)
Islam is more than just a religion that entails ritual acts for a spiritual purpose. Islam requires its adherents to care for all living beings and the environment. These values and ethics are prescribed in the Shari'ah. It regulates the way an individual conducts himself (or herself) in private and in public and how the individual interacts with society, including economic transactions. Children must obey their parents, be kind to them and show them respect. A muslim must respect all those who are elder than him. A person should treat all those who are younger than him with kindness and affection. One must also try to help others, and wronging others and treating them badly. Allah loves those who are clean so a Muslim should always try to be clean and tidy. He should keep his heart free from any grudge or ill feeling towards another person.
The Muslim's belief, worship and way of life is all derived from the laws that were given to the final prophet Muhammad sent by Allah to the whole of mankind with the final revelation the Quran. It has been preserved both through oral and written tradition since its revelation and is the same today as it was when first revealed over 1400 years ago. This, along with the authentically transmitted practices and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, known as Hadith, form the primary sources of Islamic law. Furthermore the prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) received revelation by concept which he explained in his own words. This is called the Sunnah and forms the second source of Islamic legislation. This was exemplified by the honourable companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him). People are not at will to prefer their own rational views over the confirmed textual views and Muslims must stick to following the Quran and Sunnah as understood by the earlier generations, the companions and their followers.
A Muslim is a person who believes that there is no god except Allah and that Muhammed is the last messenger of Allah sent to mankind and submits to the commands of Allah. Therefore anyone who believes in this, needs to only testify their belief with the testification of faith. Once this is done, Allah forgives all previous sins and the person has a new start to do good and shun evil and sin.

BELOIT, Wis., Nov. 13, 2017 — Regal Beloit Corporation, a leading manufacturer of electric motors, electrical motion controls, power generation and power transmission components, announced its Toolbox Technician app has received an AHR Expo Innovation Award in the Software category. The UlteMAX® axial permanent magnet (PM) motor was a finalist in the Ventilation category and the NovaMAX™ motor – 600 RPM was a finalist in the Green Building category.
The Toolbox Technician app-based toolset is free for HVAC contractors and maintenance professionals, featuring calculation and conversion tools and installation and troubleshooting guides. Regal recently added a motor efficiency calculator, which allows users to identify efficiency differences between different generations of integral horsepower electric motors. With the introduction of the NEMA Premium Efficiency design in 2012, motors currently being produced meet the NEMA premium motor rating; however, less efficient designs such as EPAct are still commonly found in commercial applications and are in frequent operation. The Toolbox Technician motor efficiency calculator allows users to identify the efficiency difference between motors by inputting the published horsepower and efficiency rating stamped on the motor nameplate. A default Epact value is also an option. The app will automatically compare the efficiency of the existing motor to a NEMA premium motor rating of the same motor horsepower and display the projected annual energy savings.
"We are very excited that our efforts to simplify evaluation and comparison of a motor's efficiency and quantify efficiency gains and subsequent potential cost savings using a NEMA premium motor have been recognized by this prestigious award," said Don Sullivan, director of marketing, HVAC and belt drives, Regal. "We look forward to celebrating this success with our customers and colleagues at AHR Expo, and will continue to evaluate and build on ways our tools can help save time and money for technicians and contractors while enabling increased efficiency."
In addition to the Software category winner, Regal's finalist products also offer solutions with contractors, maintenance professionals and efficiency in mind. The UlteMAX® axial PM motor is one-half the weight and size of traditional induction motors and includes an integrated configurable control for fast, easy installation, operation and serviceability. The NovaMAX™ motor is a low-speed, high-efficiency PM motor which provides substantially greater energy efficiency than current motor solutions and can reduce the carbon footprint of buildings as well as provide cost savings from increased energy efficiency.
AHR Expo Innovation Awards, given annually, recognize innovation in HVACR products, systems and technologies. Winners will be recognized at a formal ceremony during the AHR Expo, which will be held in Chicago Jan. 22–24, 2018. During the ceremony, the Product of the Year will also be announced.

Ford Adds a Diesel Option to the F-150 Lineup
After years of interest, speculation, and in some cases yearning, it has finally happened: The F-150 is getting a diesel engine.
Yes, for 2018 Ford will offer its half-ton pickup with a 3.0-liter turbodiesel, along with three V6 options and the return of the iconic 5.0-liter V8. With 820,000 units sold last year (twice the number of Toyota Camrys sold in 2016), the F-150 has proven to be just as popular with its aluminum body as it was with the old steel one. But with some competitors like the Nissan Titan already offering diesel engines, Ford chose not to get beaten because it didn't have one.
That isn't all that is new for 2018, however. The grille and headlamps have been redesigned, there are new colors available, six new wheel styles, new trim colors, and, for the first time in an F-150, optional 4G LTE Wi-Fi, a feature that already existed in the Chevrolet Silverado.
The F-150 is the best-selling vehicle in the United States, and Ford aims to keep it that way by not getting out-optioned by anyone.
The diesel engine being offered in the 2018 F-150 is a 3.0-liter Power Stroke V6 turbo which is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Ford hasn't yet released official power numbers out for this setup, but, since the Ram 1500's 240-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel is the only other diesel engine in the full size pickup lineup, it's safe to assume Ford's numbers will be similar. The other engine of intrigue is the legendary 5.0-liter V8, which makes its return in the 2018 F-150, and promises to do so with increased torque and horsepower.
If recent years are any indication, the big sellers will be Ford's EcoBoost (that's Ford for "turbo") V6 engines. Ford offers two on the F-150, a 2.7-liter and a 3.5-liter, along with a naturally aspirated 3.3-liter V6 for a wide range of fuel economy and power options.
The F-150 no longer shares a platform with Ford's larger pickups, but the new F-150 will look more like the Super Duty trucks anyway. Most obvious is the design of the front clip, with a twin-bar grille concept that imitates that of the Super Duty trucks. A new grille required new headlamps, which wrap themselves around the bars in the grille, and depending on trim you can get the grille in same color as the body for a sportier look. If you want to go the other direction, an applique on the tailgate is available to gussy things up.
Inside, there are two new trim colors, Dark Marsala and Navy Pier, which are available on the Platinum and Limited trims, respectively. Sport and Lariat buyers will have the option of faux carbon fiber accents on the interior, and the King Ranch F-150 has its own special seats, which are called "Kingsville."
One advantage the Chevrolet Silverado had over the F-150 was the availability of an on-board 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot, an advantage Ford has negated by offering the same on the 2018 F-150. Driver-assist technology has also advanced. The adaptive cruise control system can now bring the truck to a complete stop if the situation calls for it, and there is new pedestrian detection, along with blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, and a 360-degree camera.
The FordPass app allows users to remotely lock and unlock their truck, schedule a start time for the vehicle, and even locate it for those times you lose track of your F-150. This is in addition to the voice-activated features already included in the Sync Connect system.
Fuel Economy
An automatic start-stop system comes standard on the 2018 F-150. For the unfamiliar, this means the engines shut themselves off when the car isn't moving, such as at a stop light, and re-start when the driver removes pressure from the brake pedal. This is to decrease fuel consumption and emissions.
Ford hasn't released fuel economy estimates yet. The 2017 F-150's standard fuel economy estimates are 17 mpg in the city and 22 on the highway. Look for those numbers to edge upward in 2018.
The bed of an F-150 is no longer just an open space for putting things. It has optional LED box lights for working in the dark, and can be ordered with spotlights mounted on the side mirrors to make late-night jobs even easier. There is also an integrated tailgate step for easier entry, stowable loading ramps, and Ford's cargo management system, which uses a series of hooks and cleats to help secure cargo in place during the drive. All these features are optional.
This is the first time Ford has put a premium Bang and Olufsen sound system in a vehicle sold in the United States. It has 10 speakers, an AM/FM radio, CD player, MP3 player, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Appearance Packages
Separate from the trim packages are a handful of appearance packages from which F-150 buyers can choose. These include Sport Package, Special Edition Package, Chrome Appearance Package, and STX Appearance Package.
Ford also introduced six new wheel designs, which are available in sizes between 17 and 22 inches.
Towing and Hauling
Raw data isn't available on the F-150's towing and hauling capabilities, but Ford says it will be able to do the sort of work that, until now, required a three-quarter-ton truck. A 2017 Super Duty F-250 can tow 13,300 pounds with its weakest setup, so expect something in that range for the 2018 F-150.
Dynamic Hitch Assist gives the driver a sight line to the trailer through the instrument panel display, making it easier to hitch a trailer to the truck without a second person around to give instructions.
Ford hasn't set pricing for the 2018 F-150 yet, but expect a wide price range that reflects the wide range of options and trims available on the F-150. Current F-150 pricing ranges from $26,730 to $63,220. Extended cabs (SuperCab) models start at $30,790 and the four-door (SuperCrew) versions begin at $33,245. Again, this is 2017 pricing, but there is no reason to expect 2018 pricing to be much different.

As entrepreneurs, there's always that pressure to 'go big or go home.' If you're building an online knitting-kit business, for example, you might feel like you need to urgently expand with multiple product lines just to prove your legitimacy--even if you're not ready to take that step or don't think it's the direction you want to take your business.
Ask Sharon Rowe, who founded Ecobags 30 years ago, and she'll tell you that there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a tiny and these 10 businesses have also had great success staying small.
And, in her new book, The Magic of Tiny Business: You Don't Have to Go Big to Make a Great Living, she writes that too many of us feel like we need to build huge businesses in order to feel successful, which is crazy considering over a million small businesses sell on Amazon.
So why not rethink your strategy and embrace the idea of building a tiny company? You might want to consider it, especially since Rowe says 'tiny' doesn't refer to size--or profit potential. Instead, it's a mindset.
"Like a tiny house where there's limited space for 'stuff,' a tiny business requires that you examine, prioritize and work with what you value and eliminate what you don't," says Rowe who started the first reusable bag company in the U.S. and, at one point, reached revenues of $3 million.
When thinking about how big you want your company to be, consider these three core principles:
Build upon goals. You want to build something that answers a problem you want to solve, helps build a community you want to make and, of course, makes money, too, Rowe says.
Embrace change. Realize that the size of your business will change over time--and depending on market factors, Rowe says.
Filter out opportunities. "I looked for opportunities that matched my goals in terms of revenue, growth and also use of time," she says. "That meant filtering out requests that were outside our core competencies."
How did all of this lead her to build a company that reached $3 million in revenue?
Rowe says she was never overly concerned with how big the company would get.
"I had more of a 'build it and they will come' approach," she says. "I knew that if I had quality products and services and could be part of as many relevant conversations as possible, whether that was marketing, events or online, that I would get the business. This kept my listening open for real opportunities like The Oprah Winfrey Show, which then led to Estee Lauder finding us."
For Rowe, staying tiny is good for work/life balance, too.
"I kept my overhead low and, because of that, I didn't put myself into any uncomfortable or tight financial positions," she says. "I was more concerned with growing the business reasonably so that it wouldn't compromise my off-time or family time than going for big projects that would consume me and possibly deliver lower returns."
In the end it was all about managing risk/reward ratio.
"I knew I would rather run a tight ship and run lean, than risk what I had for growth," she says. "I was comfortable growing slowly and saying "no" to projects that I didn't want to do."

Mobile-phone-based smoking cessation intervention has been shown to increase quitting among smokers. However, such intervention has not yet been applied to secondhand smoke (SHS) reduction programs that target smoking parents of newborns.
AIM: The aim of this study was to examine the acceptability and efficacy of interactive short message service (SMS) in improving medication adherence in antiretroviral treatment (ART)-naïve individuals living with HIV/AIDS in Hengyang, Hunan, China.
With the rapid development of mobile communication technology and the growing popularity of smartphones worldwide, mobile health has become an extension of e-Health and Tele-Health, and is of value in the research and practice of public health.
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B vaccine birth dose (HepB-BD) was introduced in Lao People's Democratic Republic to prevent perinatal hepatitis B virus transmission in 2008; high coverage is challenging since only 38% of births occur in a health facility.
INTRODUCTION: Expectant mothers in low-income and middle-income countries often lack access to vital information about pregnancy, preparation for birth and best practices when caring for their newborn.
BACKGROUND: Women living with HIV are vulnerable to a variety of psychosocial barriers that limit access and adherence to treatment.
BACKGROUND: Increasingly popular mobile health (mHealth) programs have been proposed to promote better utilization of maternal, newborn and child health services. However, women who lack access to a mobile phone are often left out of both mHealth programs and research.
BACKGROUND: Mobile phone technology is utilized for better delivery of health services worldwide. In low-and-middle income countries mobile phones are now ubiquitous. Thus leveraging mHealth applications in health sector is becoming popular rapidly in these countries.

PlayStation 4 Expected To Have Longer Life Cycle Than PlayStation 3
It has been just over a year since Sony's new gaming console, the PlayStation 4, was released. The console has done spectacularly well in the market during its first year, it has kept rival Xbox One at bay when it comes to sales all year long. The company has shipped 13.5 million units already and it managed to sell 10 million units a full three months before the Xbox One achieved that milestone. Regarding the life cycle of this console Sony expects the PlayStation 4 to last on the market longer than the PlayStation 3.
One should not forget that its not particularly easy to judge the life cycle of a product after its only been around for one year and compare it with the life cycles of its predecessors, however according to the company, the early indicators have been extremely positive.
At Sony's Investors Relations Day in Tokyo the president of Sony Computer Entertainment, Andrew House, would only give a conservative estimate regarding the life cycle of the PS4. He did point out that sales of PS4 in its first year on the market are "significantly outpacing those of PlayStation 2."
It goes without saying that the PlayStation 2 was one of the most commercially successful consoles that Sony ever built, some even think that it might be the most commercially successful console ever created by any company that dabbles in consoles.
The only guidance that Andrew House would offer at this point in time was that the company has "high hopes" for the PlayStation 4 to exceed overall life cycle of PlayStation 3, but does point towards the obviously, there a "significant question mark" over whether or not it will approach or trump the life cycle of PlayStation 2. That's something I'm sure many of us would like to know.PlayStation 4 Expected To Have Longer Life Cycle Than PlayStation 3 , original content from Ubergizmo. Read our Copyrights and terms of use.

As a great folk singer once said in a song about New England, I'm here to talk about the draft.
All right, now that I've lost the under-60 crowd, let's get down to business. Major League Baseball's 2015 Draft. A year's worth of hype packed into three days, 40 rounds, and 1215 picks. As we've come to expect, quite a few New England college products heard their names called, some of them in the earliest rounds. There's no question it's a talented bunch (just ask the world champion Giants), but how does it stack up to draft classes of the past?
To answer that question, I'll take a look at the past quarter-century's worth of drafts to see how 2015's class compares. That takes us back to 1991, something of a landmark year for the region. Maine hosted the final Northeast Regional in Orono, losing to Clemson in the final. After that, true regionals became a thing of the past, something that threw a brick wall in front of New England teams' hopes of replicating the many College World Series appearances of decades past. 1991 also marked the first national title for LSU, the poster child of the Southern-dominated gorilla ball of the 90s. So, since that fateful year, how good has New England been at turning out professional talent?
I'll look mostly at class size and quality, but I'll delve into a few other issues, as well, like D2 and D3 draftees and how individual programs fared. (I drew the data from the always handy Baseball-Reference.com, and I'm happy to send my Excel file along to anyone who'd like to take a closer look. For a full list of New Englanders picked, head to Mill City Sports.) Let's get started.
Class size
As I tweeted during the draft, the 20-round pace was just off last year's strong class, and things picked up even more after that. In the end, 26 New England college products were selected. That's good. In fact, it's the biggest class the region has had since the draft was cut from 50 to 40 rounds after the 2011 edition. Here are the numbers from 1991 to the present day:
A few things jump out here. First, the overall trend is a good one. Apart from a monster 1993, draft classes since the early 2000s have tended much bigger than ones before. Not since 1997 has the region produced fewer than 15 picks, and in the last decade, the average has been in the mid-20's. Not bad for a region that, at least in D1 and D2, doesn't get much respect from the rest of the college baseball world.
Second, the trend has been remarkably steady. Things were a little more volatile in the 90s, when you could have 13 picks one year, 31 the next, and 16 the year after that (as happened from 1992-94). Since 2004's class of 25, draft classes have tended to stay pretty close to that medium. The region hasn't just been producing strong crops of talent, it's been doing it consistently. There have been booms (2011) and busts (2007), but otherwise, the mid-20s have been the rule.
Third, and finally, this isn't the biggest class the New England college scene has ever seen. That honor goes to the UConn-fueled 2011 class of 34. Or does it?
Remember, these are just the gross numbers, and like I said earlier, the draft was cut down to 40 rounds from 50, a substantial 20% reduction. That's a drop of around 300 picks. Before then, it was even bigger. In 1996, it got up to 100 rounds (not every team made a pick in each one) and 1739 picks. That's more than 500 more than 2015's. So let's index the class-size numbers to this year's draft size and see what we get. (In this graph, getting 10 picks in a class of 100 gives you the same bar as 20 picks in a class of 200.)
Lo and behold, when you account for the size of each draft, this year's class looks pretty special after all. Accounting for the ~300 fewer picks the 2012-2015 drafts have had to work with, it's directly on par with the big year in 2011. 1993's class still looks good, but it has to pay for the fact that it came out of a draft of over 1700 picks.
In some sense, that 2011 class has to be considered the biggest. 34 guys getting phone calls from major-league teams beats 26 any day of the week. But still, adjusted for draft size, 2015's class is tied for New England's biggest ever.
There's another important point to come out of this. The small upward trend we saw in the first graph is actually a substantial one. Remember how we've consistently produced mid-20s classes since the mid-2000s? That might show up as a flatline in the gross numbers, but when you factor in the 300 fewer picks, New England colleges' capacity for producing pro-level talent has improved pretty significantly over the past five years. We're churning out the same size classes with 20% fewer opportunity to get picked.
Top-tier talent
So the class size is trending upward, but what about the highest caliber of player? It's a good question. Let's take a look solely at top-10 round picks and see how things shake out.
As @JoshuaKummins noted on Twitter, not as strong a draft at the top tier. It did include a supplemental first-rounder in Boston College's Chris Shaw, but he and Bryant's Kyle Wilcox were the only two guys to go in the top 10. In that respect, this class lies in the bottom third in the scope of the last 25 years. If, however, you'd agree that UConn's Carson Cross (14th rounder) is a top-10 round talent, you can upgrade this to a mid-tier draft in producing marquee talent.
Overall, though, this graph is pretty encouraging. Nearly a hundred top-10 round picks in the 25 years. The best classes produced six, even seven players of this quality. As we'll see below, they came from all different kinds of programs, and many went on to bigger and better things.
D2 and D3 Draftees
I've always held the Division 2 and 3 talent of our region in pretty high esteem, and in this draft, as in most others over the past 25 years, the experts agreed. Let's start with a look at what percentage of each draft class D2 and D3 players have made up:
As you can see, D2 and D3 programs have made significant contributions to the region's draft classes. More than a quarter (26%) of the draftees in the time I looked at hailed from such programs. There've been down years, sure, but ever since a monster year in 2013 powered by 10 D2 selections, they've beaten their 15-year average in draft share.
That includes this year, where a group of seven headlined by Amherst's Mike Odenwaelder made up better than a quarter of the draft class. It was a down year for D2. Pro-talent stalwarts Franklin Pierce and Southern New Hampshire, who've made their mark on the draft scene for the past ten and five years, respectively, went 0-fer (unfairly, I felt), and D2's two draftees came in the final two rounds: Merrimack's Frank Crinella in the 39th and Post's Michael Costello in the 40th.
A banner year for D3 more than made up for that, however. Their five picks are a high in the 25 years we're looking at, and they included two top-30 rounders (Odenwaelder and Worcester State's Ben Libuda in the 26th). It didn't end the way anyone wanted it to on the field, but in the draft, this was a great year for D3.
MLB Talent
"Those Northern schools should just cut their programs… Good college baseball is only played elsewhere… You won't go far unless you go D1… Those Northern boys might play well against each other, but once they face real competition, they won't have a chance… College baseball in New England isn't worth watching."
If we had a dime for every time we heard a statement like this, we could pay Dansby Swanson's signing bonus. Part of the reason I started a twitter account and later a blog about New England college baseball, of all things, was that I hate it when people say things like this. The national media. Scouts. Other fans. Even some people right here in New England. Sometimes it's spoken, sometimes it's implied, but this sentiment is always there.
The good news? It simply isn't true. In looking at this data, I discovered something quite by accident. Of the 22 draft classes from 1991 to 2012, 21 have produced Major League Baseball players. 13 of them have produced more than one. 2002's class of just 16 had six. 45 Major Leaguers in 22 years. Not from the Cape Cod League. Not from the NECBL. From the colleges in the six tiny states that the rest of college baseball treats like the butt end of a bad joke.
And it's not just the top-round guys from the same couple schools. They hail from 10 different D1 programs. Eight of them come from D2 and D3. Everyone from first-round studs like UConn's George Springer (2011) to Ivy Leaguers like Yale's Craig Breslow (26th round, 2002) to lower-division guys that no one gave a second look like Merrimack alum and 38th-rounder Dennis Tankersley (1998). New England colleges produce Major League talent with remarkable consistency. And when you look at the high-round picks in recent drafts– the Mazzilis, Newcombs, and Shaws of the world– it doesn't show any signs of slowing.
Boston College had its best draft since some of the vets of its last NCAA team went pro in 2010. Supplemental first-rounder Chris Shaw (31st overall, Giants) became the Eagles' highest pick since MLBer Tony Sanchez went 4th overall to the Pirates that year. If a hamate bone injury hadn't slowed him down midseason, he might well have gone higher. A big 2014 with Chatham down the Cape bolstered his draft status, and a 2015 line of .319, 11 HR, 43 RBI (despite starting just 38 of BC's 54 games) couldn't have hurt, either. He's joined by three teammates, P John Gorman (31st round, Athletics), P Jeff Burke (32nd round, Giants), and 2B Blake Butera (35th round, Rays). Burke, who'll be joining Shaw in San Francisco's farm system, also suffered from injury this year, but managed 30 K in 39 IP while healthy.
BC's Boston neighbors each added a pair of draftees. Northeastern had multiple names called for the fourth time in the past five years, outfielder Michael Foster (16th round, Cubs) and first baseman Rob Fonseca (Mariners, 21st round). The pair's efforts in helping NU to a 3rd-place finish in the CAA landed them both on the all-conference third-team, and they're the earliest pair of picks the Huskies have had since 2006, when MLBer Adam Ottavino headlined a four-man class. Meanwhile, Harvard had two draftees of its own. Tanner Anderson (20th round, Pirates) logged four saves on the year, while fellow senior Mike Martin (33rd round, Athletics) hit .353 in Ivy League play. Anderson is the Crimson's highest draft pick since third-rounder Ben Crockett highlighted the New England draft class of 2002.
Connecticut put together its biggest class since its monster 10-pick group in 2011. C Max McDowell (Brewers), 2B Vinny Siena (Mets), and P Carson Cross (Cardinals) all went within 50 picks of one another in the 13th and 14th rounds. (UConn also had three selections in 2012, but L.J. Mazzili returned for his senior season in 2013.) Cross, a Brentwood, NH native, was named the AAC Pitcher of the Year after a 10-2, 2.29, 108 K campaign. Being drafted marks a successful return from the arm surgery that sidelined him for all of 2014. Siena also had a successful season, hitting .362 to lead the team. McDowell, the highest pick of the group as a 13th-rounder, becomes the Huskies' highest draftee at catcher since MLBer Brian Esposito went in the 5th round in 2000.
Bryant may not have matched 2014's banner draft, but the Bulldogs will send a pair of players to the pro ranks. 6th-rounder Kyle Wilcox (Mariners) gives the Rhode Islanders New England's second-highest draftee for the second straight summer. He went 7-3 with a 3.24 in 2015. Senior righty Trevor Lacosse (23rd round, Marlins) completes Bryant's draft class. As a few NEC followers noted on Twitter, the two become the fifth and sixth arms from Bryant's inaugural 2013 tournament team to get drafted.
Five other D1s had a single player hear their name called. UMass Lowell shortstop Danny Mendick became the Riverhawks' first Division I draftee when the White Sox took him in the 22nd round. Mendick, the only Riverhawk to start each of their 43 games, hit .321/.408/.455 with 14 steals en route to a first-team all-AEC selection. Juniors Joe Purritano of Dartmouth (30 RBI, .500 SLG) and Mike Wallace of Fairfield (6-4, 3.84, 6 CG, 50:12 K:BB) both went in the 30th round. Rhode Island marked its fourth straight year in the draft (matching a program record) when the Padres selected Yarmouth, ME native Lou Distasio in the 32nd round. The junior went 4-3 with a 3.47 and 37:9 K:BB in A-10 play and earned the Rams' upset win over North Carolina earlier this season. Finally, Holy Cross shortstop and first-team all-Patriot Leaguer Nick Lovullo was picked in the 34th round by the Red Sox.
In D3, Amherst had multiple draftees for the first time ever. It's also the first time a D3 school has done that since Trinity's near-perfect season in 2008. A 16th-round selection by the Orioles for junior outfielder Mike Odenwaelder (.380, 7 HR, 30 RBI) headlined D3's record five-pick class. The slugger was the NESCAC Rookie of the Year as a freshman and became the first player to win back-to-back Player of the Year honors as a sophomore and junior. He was also named the 2014 FCBL Most Valuable Player in a summer spent with Torrington. Robert Lucido (40th round, Blue Jays) didn't play for the Jeffs in 2015, as @CACSportsBlog pointed out, but did appear in limited action with Amherst in each of the three seasons prior. He also spent a couple summers with Silver Spring-Takoma of the Cal Ripken League, where he made the league all-star team.
A trio of other D3 players heard their names called. Worcester State's Ben Libuda (of Auburn, MA) went in the 26th round to the Braves. The 6'7" senior lefty went 5-3 with a 2.30 and helped lead the Lancers to an NCAA Tournament appearance as a junior in 2014. He becomes WSU's highest draftee since Tim Stronach went in the 22nd round in 2006. Wesleyan's Donnie Cimino went in the 37th round to the Cubs after a senior season saw him lead the Cardinals in hitting. In 2014 and 2015, he helped the program to its first back-to-back NCAA trips ever. And in the 40th round, Rhode Island College's Matt Foley was drafted by the same Marlins organization that took fellow RI college product Trevor Lacosse. Foley led the Anchormen in a slew of offensive categories, including hitting (.453) and home runs (11).
In D2, Merrimack's Frank Crinella became the Warriors' third draftee in the last six years, going in the 39th round to the Orioles. The East Longmeadow, MA native, an NECBL all-star with the Valley Blue Sox a summer ago, hit .338 with 18 steals for Merrimack this spring. The Orioles also accounted for D2's other draft pick, selecting Post's Mike Costello in the 40th round. Costello, whose 4-2, 2.13 campaign helped the Eagles to a second-place finish in the CACC, becomes the program's first major-league draftee.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. wears a cowboy hat and western boots and dates Danica Patrick. So even before he straps in for the Daytona 500 next Sunday, the first race of his rookie season in the Sprint Cup series, he already stands out in the Nascar garage.
But here is why he could be more than just the First Boyfriend of racing: Stenhouse is also capable of making headlines. He is at the forefront of a wave of young drivers who could transform the sport in the coming years as a generation of champions nears the end of their careers.
"At some point, people retire," Stenhouse said last month. "I think it's a good group coming in that has a lot of experience, and it could be a fun Cup series in a few years, for sure. Definitely young and exciting."
After years of little movement in the top series, with few prestigious rides available in a tight market for sponsors, Stenhouse has broken through after consecutive championships in the Nationwide Series. He will race in the No. 17 Ford this season for the Roush Fenway Racing team, replacing Matt Kenseth.
Stenhouse, 25, is not alone on that ladder. On his way up is Trevor Bayne, the 2011 Daytona 500 winner, who turns 22 on Tuesday and is one rung below in the Nationwide Series this season. He is expected to join the Cup series perhaps as early as next year. Richard Childress, the team owner who won six titles with Dale Earnhardt, has two grandsons who could be headed to the series in the coming years: Austin Dillon, 22, was the rookie of the year in Nationwide Series last year; Ty Dillon, 20, was rookie of the year in the Camping World Truck Series.
There is Ryan Blaney, son of the veteran driver Dave Blaney, 50, who is a 19-year-old prodigy in the Nationwide series with Penske Racing. And Chase Elliott, 17, son of the Cup champion Bill Elliott, 57, who is being groomed by Hendrick Motorsports — the home of the five-time champion Jimmie Johnson, the four-time Cup winner Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne.
Kyle Larson, 20, and Darrell Wallace Jr., 19, the fourth black driver to get a full-time ride in a national series in Nascar's 65 years, are also in the lower levels but could join that list of up-and-comers as well.
They will add to the young drivers already in Sprint Cup, led by Brad Keselowski, who turned 29 and is the defending Sprint Cup champion, along with the veterans Kyle Busch, 27, and Joey Logano, 22, as well as the less-proven Aric Almirola, 28. Keselowski is the youngest champion since Kurt Busch won the title in 2004 when he was 26.
It was Gordon who turned Nascar into a young driver's sport by winning the Cup in 1995 when he was 24. Gordon won three Cups in his 20s, his last when he turned 30. Now he is 41, old enough to be asked about retirement without recoiling at the thought. No, he said, he will not be the next Mark Martin. Martin, 54, is a Nascar anomaly who is still racing competitively.
Gordon says he will be gone long before that age.
"There was a time that I didn't think I was going to be racing at 40, so I hate to even say never, but I'm pretty sure that's not something that's in the cards for me," he said.
Beyond Gordon, there is the three-time champion Tony Stewart, 41; the 2003 Cup winner, Kenseth, 40, who moved to Joe Gibbs Racing this year to open up the ride for Stenhouse; Greg Biffle, 43; Jeff Burton, 45; and the 2000 Cup winner, Bobby Labonte, 48.
"There's a potential for six of us, or so, to retire basically all in the same year or staggered out by one year or something," Biffle said. "That could change the face of the sport a lot."
The strength of their individual marketing power could keep them in Nascar perhaps a bit longer. Few sponsors in a postrecession economy have shown a willingness to spend millions on the sport, much less on unproven drivers.
Gordon, for one, says he doubts there will be wholesale changes to the Cup lineup in the near future.
"We see a lot of recycling happens in our sport with certain individuals who are still bringing sponsors in, still competitive out there, and until somebody new comes along that takes the needle and spikes it and the sponsors are interested and the teams are interested, then no," he said. "Because the sport's gotten so expensive and sponsorships definitely are a challenge."
But the time will come for these new drivers to change the face of Nascar.
"I remember the day when David Pearson and Cale Yarborough were getting ready to retire, and the world was going to come to an end in that era because there were no more drivers ever again ever going to be able to compete," said Robin Pemberton, Nascar's vice president for competition. "So we made it through that. We'll make it through the next one."
They will do so with the help of drivers like Stenhouse, who is already on his way to building a reputation in the sport with his championships in the Nationwide Series.
"Ricky Stenhouse will be as good in this business as any driver has been in the modern era," said Jack Roush, the owner of Roush Fenway. "He's the real deal."
But that was hardly the story when he arrived at Daytona last week and faced a litany of questions about Patrick, one of the most popular drivers in Nascar, who is moving up to Cup competition this season as well. They revealed their relationship last month, not long after Patrick announced that she was separating from her husband. He is just now beginning to see the effect of their relationship on his career.
"If I win a race and it says 'Danica's boyfriend' wins the race," Stenhouse said of the headlines to come, "I don't know how that will work out."

Although blogging has been around for a long time now, it seems as if it is becoming more and more the "in" thing these days. Between the abundance of teenage bloggers passing on to the rest of the world every up and down they experience at any given moment, to those wise marketers who realize blogging doesn't cost them a cent to advertise and promote. There are many places on the internet where you can create your own blog for free. You may have also heard these websites referred to as Web 2.0, here is an example site Hubpages.
Some may ask the question of what blogging actually really is in the internet world. It is simply a log onto the rest of the world where one can express thoughts and opinions and not have to pay a penny to do so. Of course the same applies to those seeking to promote their products and services as well.
There is certainly no question that successful blogging will greatly enhance one's business ventures, particularly if they work everything in a proper and clever way. Let's take a look at some suggestions that might help achieve that goal.
1. One can and should keep all customers and potential customers up to date in regard to their website and any changes or improvements made there.
2. One should keep careful track of their business and it's objectives and then store that blog content so that it is easily available to anyone seeking it.
3. One will have no problems or issues whatsoever using blogging to air their reviews, advice or opinions on those services and products relating to their business venture. It is then there for everyone to see.
4. It is extremely important to include links on the blog. This will lead folks where it is one wants them to go.
This might include leading them to affiliate links that can promote even greater income to the individual involved.
Well written and informative articles on the website will also prove to be very helpful for a number of reasons including higher ranking on the search engines.
5. It is so important to monitor and constantly consider the feedback one will receive from other bloggers. This is a great way to be certain one stays on top of things at all times.
6. Realize the importance of constantly staying in touch with other bloggers and doing whatever one can to get on their favorite list.

BERLIN (Reuters) - The European Union's chief Brexit negotiator told German industry on Wednesday that it was his responsibility to help European companies weather the exit of Britain from the EU, and he warned Britain that its economy had much to lose.
In a series of speeches, Michel Barnier also said work remained to be done on how much Britain would pay the EU to cover its share of the EU budget after it leaves. British newspapers have reported his team has broadly agreed on a payment of around 50 billion euros (£44 billion).
The EU has given Britain until Monday to make an acceptable offer for a financial settlement, agree on the rights of EU citizens in Britain and ensure no hard border is set up with Ireland. Only then will it start talks on a future trade pact.
German business is worried about the impact of Brexit - Britain is Germany's third-largest export destination and its fifth-biggest overall trading partner.
"The future of the EU is more important than Brexit," Barnier told the BDA employers association and the BDI industry group and DIHK chambers of commerce.
Barnier said he wasn't sure if the "whole truth" had been explained to British business on the impact of Brexit.
"My responsibility before you and everywhere in Europe is to tell the truth to European businesses," he said in the speech to the BDA employers association. A trading relationship with a non-EU member inevitably involved friction, he said.
"Whatever the outcome of the current negotiations, there will be no business as usual," he said.
Some politicians in Britain have argued that German companies depend on them for business, so Berlin under Chancellor Angela Merkel may help London get a deal.
But only about 6 percent of Germany's trade in goods is with the United Kingdom, compared with 56 percent with the other EU countries, Barnier said - making it clear Britain had the most to lose.
Barnier also pointed to value-added tax returns and the imports of animals and animal projects that are subject to checks at the EU's borders as potential problems.
And he warned there was no guarantee that judgements by UK courts on trade disputes would automatically be recognised across the EU after Brexit.
The BDI industry association and DIHK chambers of commerce stressed that the onus was on the British government to shift in its negotiations.
"The British government must move so that the EU can give the green light in two weeks for phase two of the talks," said the BDI and DIHK groups.
"There can be no cherry picking for London. It is clear: our priority is to strengthen the EU and develop it further," they said, stressing that the freedoms of the internal market would not be diluted for Britain during any transition phase.
Barnier also warned that companies should prepare for a possible "no deal", which implies returning to trade tariffs under World Trade Organisation rules, and border controls.
That scenario would lead to higher transport and storage costs, hitting companies operating on a just-in-time basis, he said.
"The no-deal scenario is not our scenario, but since it cannot be ruled out, we have to prepare for it," he said.

I'm sitting across from you in a coffee shop and Skinny Love is playing
it's not
a metaphor.
Your eyes really are the color of honey. I love the way the crease in your forehead really says what you're feeling, and the way you smile at me more than you do anything else. I love the way you give me space to feel, and space to talk, and space to come here and be in this place with you. It's all I can do to keep my eyes on the page. My fingertips tremble. Poetry is always in your presence.
A poem settles down in the empty seat between us and I listen intently, losing focus in my vision and letting the twinkle lights across the street fade into so many blurs… a poem whispers like a weeping willow with a gentle breeze running through; it's next to silent… but my ears are especially tuned.
It is not of the rain, or the smell of coffee, or the beautiful words of the song that the poem tells, but of the day this becomes our default state. I want to take you on a library date. I want to lay on the stain-resistant carpet between the rows and rows of books, with my head in your lap… it will be all I can do to keep my eyes on the page
and off
of you.
There's a meadow somewhere named after the love we're still learning how to speak, and the day we find it I think we'll be eternal. Or maybe… we won't even be surprised. I want to see something completely new for the very first time with you. I want to know every thought that graces your graceful mind. I want to give you all of my time. I want to take your hand, now, here, in the coffee shop, and I'm so full I'm overflowing
it's not
a metaphor.
I'm half way over the fence
and trying hard not to look back
because on the other side of the table,
you're sitting,
and we're in a coffee shop
and on the other side of the fence
I've fallen
it's not
a metaphor.
