In the games
Professor Juniper debuted in Pokémon Black and White, where, like the other professors, she will give the player a Pokédex in her lab; however, she leaves a present containing the starter Pokémon at the player's house for the player, Bianca, and Cheren.
She also demonstrates to the player how to capture their first Pokémon, a level 2 Patrat, with her level 7 Minccino.
Over the course of the game, if the player visits her in her lab, Professor Juniper will hand out a total of three TMs depending on the number of Unova Pokédex Pokémon the player has seen. They are TM54 (False Swipe) (at 25 seen), TM17 (Protect) (at 60 seen), and TM10 (Hidden Power) (at 115 seen).
Gives to new Trainers
These Pokémon are shipped to the player's house at the beginning of Black and White. After the player makes their selection, Bianca picks the Pokémon that is at a type disadvantage towards theirs while Cheren takes the remaining companion.

At Nuvema Town
- "Hi there! I've been waiting for you young people! Let me introduce myself again. My name is..."
- "Come, come, Cheren! This is not a time to take things lightly. Today is a day to remember always, so it's best to behave with some formality. That being so, once again, my name is Professor Juniper, and I am researching when and how the creatures called Pokémon came into existence. Oh, that's unusual! You've already had a Pokémon battle! So maybe that's why... It feels as though your Pokémon have already begun to trust you! By the way, would you like to give your Pokémon a nickname?"
- Yes: "Uh-huh, I see. Are you OK with the nickname <nickname>?"
- Yes: "<nickname> is its name. That is such a great name!"
- No: "You aren't planning to use a nickname? Well, that's fine, too."
- Yes: "Uh-huh, I see. Are you OK with the nickname <nickname>?"
- "As for why I gave all of you Pokémon..."
- "I am astonished. Nice work, Cheren! You have already studied Pokémon extensively, haven't you? Still, let me explain everything from the beginning, for everyone's sake. The Pokédex is a high-tech device that automatically records the Pokémon you encounter! So, I want you three to visit many places and meet all of the Pokémon in the Unova region! This is my request. <player>! Cheren! Bianca! You'll go on an adventure to complete the Pokédex, will you not?"
- No: "Here is what I need from you! What I want to hear are the courageous words of people who will blaze new paths around the world! I want you three to travel to many distant places and meet all of the Pokémon in the Unova region!"
- "All of you, thanks! You have given me the best possible answer!"
- "Next, I need to teach you how to meet Pokémon. Please meet me at Route 1, OK?"
At Route 1
- "Now that everyone's here, I'll explain. The Pokédex's pages update automatically whenever you meet a Pokémon! Moreover, it's set up so that you obtain even more information when you catch a Pokémon! To make this clear, I'm going to demonstrate how to catch a Pokémon!"
- "Did you see that, just now? Here's how it goes, step by step. First, reduce the Pokémon's HP! Pokémon that still have all of their energy are difficult to catch. If you can, use your Pokémon's moves to make the Pokémon you want to catch fall asleep. Or paralyze it! And to wrap this up in the best way, I have a gift for you- some Poké Balls!"
- "Poké Balls are used for catching Pokémon and for carrying the Pokémon you catch! I'm going on ahead. I'll be waiting for you in Accumula Town!"
- On Xtransceiver
- "Hello! How is everybody doing? You and your Pokémon are getting along great now, right?"
- "Right now, I'm in front of Accumula Town's Pokémon Center! I'd like to show you around, so hurry on over, everyone!"
- "OK! See you!"
At Accumula Town
- "Ah, <player>! There you are! Traveling with your Pokémon is truly one of the joys of being a Trainer! Please follow me. I'd like to show you the most important place for a Trainer to know!"
- "This is a Pokémon Center! Don't you feel better as soon as you step through the door? OK, let's start your tour!"
- "A Pokémon Center is a truly incredible place! Do you know why? Because your Pokémon can be healed! And, what's more, it's absolutely free! A Pokémon Center is a Trainer's best friend! Here, <player>, give it a try."
- "You should be talking to the lady at the counter, not to me..."
- "Hey, <player>. Where are you off to? Humor me and talk to the lady at the counter. Let her take your Pokémon."
- "OK. Now that your Pokémon have rested, I'll show you how to use the PC at a Pokémon Center. This is the PC. It's free for any Trainer to use. You can store Pokémon in your PC Boxes or select Pokémon stored in your PC Boxes to take along with you. In addition, if you catch a new Pokémon while you have six Pokémon traveling with you, the Pokémon you just caught is sent automatically to the PC network! Surprising, isn't it? Amazing, even. Here's something else that's cool. If you select my PC, I'll evaluate the progress you've made on your Pokédex!"
- "Very good, Bianca. That's a great observation! Good question, and I'd like to say more, but for now, just ignore that and go ahead and use the PC. "Someone" is the person who made the Pokémon Storage System. ...Someone I'm sure you'll meet someday! OK, let's move on!"
- "Now, this is the Poké Mart. This is the place to buy useful items and sell the ones you don't need anymore! That gentleman over there will help you with a smile! So, let's wrap this up. I've given you the basics of being a Trainer! I'm going to head back to Nuvema Town. One final thing... When you get to Striaton City, go and meet an inventor named Fennel. She's a friend of mine from long ago, and I'm sure she'll help you on your way! Best of luck! I hope that your journeys prove to be the adventure of a lifetime!"
At Route 4 (on Xtransceiver)
- "Hello there! <player>, do you have a second?"
- "I called Bianca too, but I guess she didn't hear the call. I wonder what she's caught up in. Well, I suppose I'll just have to call her again later. OK! I'll be waiting for you two in front of the gate to Nimbasa City!"
At Nimbasa Gate
- "Hello, <player>!"
- "Elesa called and was asking me all about Electric-type Pokémon, and I thought about you guys. That's why I wanted to see you. Ta-da! Freebies for you! Here, Cheren! You, too, <player>."
- "If you see a Pokémon that you want to have join you, be sure to use a good type of Poké Ball. Because this could be the first and last time you see that Pokémon! I know it might seem strange for me to say this, since I'm the one who asked you to complete the Pokédex, but please, remember to enjoy your journey! Of course, I'm not saying you can just neglect the Pokédex. But you know that! Now, if you'll please excuse me, I have to go meet Bianca."
- "Hi there! How are you, <player>? This place is always charged with lots of electricity that Pokémon like! The electric charges react from one stone to another, and that's why some of the stones are floating! But not all of the stones can be pushed. My father asked me to research Klink, which is a Pokémon that looks like a gear, because I'm researching the origins of Pokémon and the era they appeared. He knows how to get what he wants from people, but I was already interested in this anyway, so it's a lot of fun! Oh yeah! <player>, this is for you!"
- "Giving that Lucky Egg to a Pokémon to hold increases the amount of Exp. Points received in battle by a lot! Having strong Pokémon will make it easier to fill your Pokédex pages!"
- "<player>! Are you working on your Pokédex? Keep encountering lots of Pokémon, so you can keep filling those pages!"
- "Hi there! Did you find something? I think we're just about done collecting data. This cave has been around since the distant past, but... Data to prove that Klink existed more than a hundred years ago can't be found. So that must mean... Klink suddenly appeared a hundred years ago! Where Pokémon came from and where they are going... If we can learn that, I believe we can get along even better!"
- "Bianca, you have good ears. I can't believe you heard <player>'s voice from that far away. <player>, who is this Trainer?"
- "Oh, my. Looks like you're not my biggest fan. Your opinion is understandable. It happens to be different from mine, which is equally understandable. How about if all people get to decide for themselves how to relate to Pokémon?"
- "Well, I didn't expect him to change his mind right away. But I hope he'll spend a little time trying to understand how others feel. Now, then... I think I'll go collect a little more data. For Pokémon and people to get along better, we need to take steps to learn more about them!"
At Relic Castle
- via Xtransceiver
- "<player>! <player>!! Hello? <player>!! Oh! You picked up! Hey, <player>. Come to the museum in Nacrene City immediately! Right away, got it? I mean right now!"
- At the entrance
- "Hi there, <player>! I heard about these Pokémon statues, and I came to look into their origins! I've learned that each of these Pokémon statues is actually a real Pokémon! It's called Darmanitan. It's sleeping, so it's become like a stone. When I quickly measured how long they've existed... It was amazing! Around 2,500 years! Seems like they went to sleep that long ago. That means they've been here since before this place was in ruins, when the Relic Castle was flourishing. Perhaps they were guarding the city. These Pokémon... They are either in a state of hibernation or meditation, so if you wake them, they will become active once again. And the item that wakes up Darmanitan is actually...this RageCandyBar! That's why I will share one with you, too, <player>!"
- "Well, I'm headed back to the Pokémon Research Lab. Be seeing you!"
At Nacrene City
- "Alder told me what's going on. <player>, you got caught up in something serious, it seems..."
- "...I looked into that."
- "That's right! Opelucid City's Drayden might know something!"
- "I'm going to head back to the lab and do some research... I'll see if I can uncover what kinds of being these legendary Dragon-type Pokémon are and if there is any way to awaken them..."
At Opelucid City
- "...Hello! Was Drayden as tough as ever?B/How was Iris doing?W Oh, I came to report on how to resurrect the legendary ReshiramB/ZekromW. I thought it would be better to tell you in person than over the Xtransceiver. And as for the conclusion... Well, I haven't figured it out yet. I'm sure the Pokémon will wake up when it deems someone worthy. More importantly, aren't you amazing! You have all eight of Unova's Gym Badges now, right? You've become so strong! You probably don't even know it, but you've changed a lot since you left Nuvema Town. Well then, I'll show you where such a strong Trainer should head next!"
- "Pass through that gate, go down Route 10, and you'll arrive at the Badge Check Gates! Once you get through Victory Road, which is past the gates, you're finally at the Pokémon League! Oh, that just made me think of when I was showing you around the Pokémon Center in Accumula Town. <player>? Do you regret setting out on your Pokémon journey?"
- Yes: "Oh! That's OK, don't worry! You don't have to tell me everything. But I'm very happy that you three chose to train Pokémon! Because they create chances to meet more wonderful people and Pokémon!"
- No: "Thanks! That's the greatest answer you could give! I was really happy to be able to give you three those Pokémon as a present! Because Pokémon create chances to meet more wonderful people and Pokémon!"
- "<Player>, this is a present for you!"
- "This Master Ball is the most powerful kind of Poké Ball. It can catch any Pokémon without fail. This is the only way I can support you, except to say... Be true to yourself. No matter what happens, stay strong and keep going with your Pokémon! See you!"
Pokémon Black 2 and White 2
- "Hi there, <player>! It's nice to finally be able to talk to you in person! I'm Professor Juniper! You accepted the Pokédex and came all the way out here with your partners... Here, I'll evaluate your progress for you! So, <player>, you've seen <number> Pokémon up to this point! I see! Thank you! This is a token of my gratitude."
- "This Master Ball is the most powerful kind of Poké Ball. It can catch any Pokémon without fail. Journeys are about meeting Pokémon. Don't let a chance get away! Still, I'm amazed how much Pokémon distribution changes in two years. That means my research will never end. Still, you could say that's what makes it fun..."
- "Why, if it isn't Skyla! This is Skyla. She's Mistralton City's Gym Leader."
- "Aha ha! You're right. But I have a quick favor to ask first. I want a look at Celestial Tower. Do you mind waiting till I'm through? See you, <player>! Be sure to always get along with all kinds of Pokémon!"
Celestial Tower
- "Hi there! How were things with Skyla? Oh? You still haven't earned the Gym Badge yet? Well, if that's the case, I'll keep up the field work until the plane is ready to fly. Oh yeah! Why don't you try using this?"
- "Giving that Lucky Egg to a Pokémon to hold increases the amount of Exp. Points received in battle a little bit! Having strong Pokémon will make it easier to fill your Pokédex pages!"
In front of the Mistralton Gym
- "Hi there! I hope we can get some good research done on the other side of the mountain as well. That's right! I want you to take this flight, too! There's someone I want you to meet in Opelucid City, but we can't get through Twist Mountain right now. We'll just make a quick flight over to Lentimas Town! I'll be waiting for you in Mistralton Cargo Service!"
- "OK, Skyla, we're ready. Please take us to Lentimas Town!"
- "Bianca, you're here? You're starting to show the dedication of a serious researcher these days!"
- "OK, everyone, off we go to Lentimas Town!"
Lentimas Town
- "Well, I suppose I should tell you why I brought you out here. Cheren told me that a group of people calling themselves Team Plasma are planning to use legendary Pokémon to take over the Unova region. As you may know, in the Unova region, there are two legendary Dragon-type Pokémon: Reshiram and Zekrom... But two years ago, Reshiram and Zekrom each recognized a Trainer as a hero. They are following those Trainers. So Team Plasma shouldn't be able to use the Dragon-type Pokémon..."
- "There is much we don't know about Reshiram and Zekrom... That's why I want to hear what Opelucid City's Gym Leader, Drayden, has to say about this. He's a Dragon-type Gym Leader, so he might know something. So, we're finally to the reason why I brought you here. I want you to go to Opelucid City and hear what Drayden has to say. And, I would also like you to help me if something happens!"
- Yes: "Thank you! It's really best not to get involved with Team Plasma to start with. But still..."
- No: "Yes. That is the more reasonable response. It's best not the get involved with Team Plasma. But..."
- "Hearing what Drayden has to say about the Dragon-type Pokémon will be really interesting. And more importantly, it will help fill up the pages of your Pokédex!"
- "Hi there, <player>!"
- "If you go straight past Lacunosa Town, you'll reach Opelucid City! But before you go, there's something I want you two to hear."
- "You'll know soon enough. Hurry now!"
- "That's right. Please tell us."
- "The road is blocked, so we can't get there right now..."
- "A meteorite..."
- "A fascinating story! I'll add it to my research records."
- "Everyone, we should be going."
- "Wasn't that an interesting folktale?"
- "The Pokémon's true identity may be unknown, but the power mentioned in the story is incredible!"
- "Yes, Bianca. It's almost like Reshiram, who scorched Unova with blazing fire long ago. By the way, <player>, do you remember the story of Reshiram?"
- Yes: "So you remember I told you a little about it in Lentimas Town!"
- No: "Oh, <player>... I even told you a little about it in Lentimas Town."
- "Reshiram is a legendary Dragon-type Pokémon that lends its power to the person it recognizes as a hero who seeks truth. It has a white body, and it can send forth ferocious flames!"
- "The meteorite."
- "Reshiram was revived from a rock called the Light Stone. Let's suppose the meteorite from the story and this stone are one and the same... Take into account that elements from the same era were found in Dragonspiral Tower, where Reshiram was, and in the Giant Chasm... It doesn't prove anything, but it could be a piece of the puzzle. Let's not write it off as a coincidence just yet..."
- "Until we look into it more deeply, it would be hard to say anything about that. Now that I think about it, the name "Lacunosa" could be derived from lacunosus clouds, which are clouds that resemble a net or a fence. I wonder if the name is related to the part of the story where they built walls to protect the town from that Pokémon."
- "Sorry, I rambled on a bit, didn't I? <Player>, could you ask Drayden about this, if you get a chance? I'm going to do a little fieldwork. Bianca, help out, OK!"
In the anime
Professor Juniper made her first appearance in In The Shadow of Zekrom! and is an old friend of Professor Oak. She gives Ash, Delia, and Oak a ride in her SUV to her lab so she can study Ash's Pikachu. She then shows Ash the Unova starter Pokémon, then gives Trip his first Pokémon, Snivy.
Ash later returns to Professor Juniper's lab after finding out that Ash's Pikachu has lost his electricity from Zekrom. Later the storm arrives again but this time it gives Pikachu's electric powers back, and Ash departs from her lab the next day.
She reappeared in A Sandile Gusher of Change! where she sent Oshawott's Poké Ball to Ash. In Minccino-Neat and Tidy! it was shown that she sent Bianca to give Ash his Badge case. She then spoke to Ash via Bianca's Xtransceiver.
Ash sent his Pidove to her in Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest! to make room for his newly captured Sewaddle. He switched them in The Lost World of Gothitelle!.
In A Venipede Stampede! she thinks the problem of the Venipede swarm in Castelia City has something to do with the underground. Ash, Iris and Cilan meet up with Professor Juniper and leave to investigate the unusual activity caused by Team Rocket in the Desert Resort. She was also to appear in the final episodes of Team Rocket's Meteonite mission.
She reappeared in Archeops In The Modern World! along with Fennel who helped her revive an Archen from a Plume Fossil, who later evolved. After safely returning Archeops to the wild, she went back to her lab.
Professor Juniper appeared again in Evolution Exchange Excitement!, where she traded her Karrablast for Bianca's Shelmet, making both of them evolve. In order to help Bianca to work with her new Escavalier, Professor Juniper suggested that they would have a Tag Battle against Ash and Cilan, who used Boldore and Crustle, respectively. Although Professor Juniper's Accelgor and Bianca's Escavalier managed to learn how to work together and eventually defeat Boldore, they were both defeated by Crustle's Rock Wrecker.
Professor Juniper reappeared again in BW109 when Ash and his friends returned to Nuvema Town after the Higaki Conference. She also presented a beginner Trainer, Nonomi, the three starter Pokémon. After some thinking, Nonomi chose Tepig as her first Pokémon.
This listing is of Professor Juniper's known Pokémon:
On hand
| Professor Juniper obtained Accelgor as a Shelmet when Bianca traded it to her for her Karrablast in Evolution Exchange Excitement! to trigger the evolution. It participated with Juniper's former Karrablast, now an Escavalier, in a Tag Battle against Boldore and Crustle, and unlike Escavalier with Bianca, obeyed Juniper with ease.
As a Shelmet, Accelgor's known moves were Acid, Energy Ball, and Protect.
Accelgor's known moves are Substitute, Quick Attack, Recover and Hyper Beam.

Oshawott first appeared in In The Shadow Of Zekrom!. He tried to use his cuteness to win Trip over when picking his starter, however, Trip chose Snivy, much to his dismay. He gained feelings for Ash after he called him cute, and he also watched the battle between Ash and Trip before returning. Oshawott expressed his wish to join Ash in A Sandile Gusher Of Change!, so Professor Juniper let Ash raise him.

Formerly raised
| Working with Fennel (in order to utilize Musharna's Dream Mist) and using a Plume Fossil provided to her by Lenora, Professor Juniper was able to revive an Archen in a lab between Castelia City and Nimbasa Town. Archen quickly proved to be a handful and refused to eat modern Pokémon food. She soon formed a bond with Ash and his Tranquill as they attempted to teach Archen to fly.
Archen continuously let out a cry that was once used to grow seeds that produced thick vines covered in fruit that Archen and Archeops used as nests in the past. A few of these seeds were attached to Archen when she was revived, and were unknowingly planted in the lab. Cry after cry, the seeds grew and grew until the vines had made the lab completely inaccessible. The vines then began blossoming with fruit, and Archen quickly ran up and helped herself to her first meal since being revived. She then evolved into Archeops and in turn gained the ability to fly. However Team Rocket attempted to capture Archeops and in the processed destroyed the habitat she had created. Luckily, a flock of Archeops had heard her call and arrived to take her with them. After saying a farewell to her new friends (especially Tranquill), Archeops flew off to live with her own kind.
Archeops's only known moves are DragonBreath and Peck.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Professor Juniper first appears in the first round of the Black & White chapter of Pokémon Adventures, where she was seen with the three starters and telling them that three children from Nuvema Town would be coming by to take them as their starters. She also commented that she hoped their Trainers would be able to handle them, after they destroyed her office in a fight with each other. Of the three, Tepig ended up in Black's hands, while Cheren and Bianca received Snivy and Oshawott, respectively. She also issued them three individual copies of the Unova Pokédex, but an accident left two of them broken, and as of yet Black's is the only one still functional.
|Minccino is Professor Juniper's only known Pokémon. Minccino is usually seen cleaning messes with or for the Professor.

Today is the last day of the Department's fourth annual Back to School bus tour, entitled "Strong Start, Bright Future." Over the last week, Secretary Duncan and senior Department officials have held roughly 65 events in 20 cities and four states across the American Southwest. The agency's blog has a wealth of stories, pictures, and videos chronicling the tourincluding daily recaps for September 9 [Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Polvadera, New Mexico]; September 10 [El Paso, Texas, and Columbus, New Mexico]; September 11 [Tucson and Tempe, Arizona]; September 12 [Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Yuma, Arizona]; and September 13 [Chula Vista, California]. Also, the agency released fact sheets that detail specific information about visits along the way. And, throughout the tour, participants have been utilizing social media.
In a September 9 Back to School letter to local superintendents, Secretary Duncan observes, "We have a lot to celebrate, including the highest high school graduation rate in three decades and more young adults attending college than a decade ago. Yet, we have a long way to go. Too many young peopleand especially too many students from low-income and vulnerable populationsaren't participating in that success." Continuing, he highlights Department initiatives aimed at making schools and communities stronger, including Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) flexibility, new guides for developing emergency operations plans, and the Race to the Top-District program. Noting "Every family, neighbor, educator, health care provider, and business knows the importance of well-educated and healthy children," he also encourages the uninsured to enroll in the Health Insurance Marketplace starting in October."
Last week, the Secretary also participated in Back to School conversations on the Diane Rehm Show and with journalists on an Education Writers Association webinar.
Next Steps
While the bus tour was this week's primary focus, other critical work was ongoing at the agency:
- The Department's Implementation and Support Unit (ISU) held a webinar to answer questions submitted to the 2013 Race to the Top-District competition mailbox. Slides from the webinar are posted here. Applications are due October 3.
- The Departments of Education and Health and Human Services held a technical assistance planning workshop for the 2013 Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge competition. Slides from the workshop are posted here, and the live stream video and transcript will be posted here. Applications are due October 16.
- The Department's Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) held a first of two Gainful Employment negotiated rulemaking committee meetings. Materials are posted here. A second meeting is scheduled for October 21-23.
Also: The bipartisan Leading Education by Advancing Digital (LEAD) Commission released a comprehensive report with actions to accelerate expansion of digital learning in the K-12 education system.
Constitution Day
September 17 is Constitution Day/Citizenship Day, commemorating the September 17, 1787, signing of the U.S. Constitution. In recognition, Congress has mandated that every educational institution receiving federal funds hold an educational program about the seminal document. To assist students and educators in their studies, free online resources are available from the Department's Federal Resources for Educational Excellence (FREE) web site, as well as the Library of Congress, the National Archives and Records Administration, theNational Endowment for the Humanities, the Office of Personnel Management, and the U.S. Senate.
International Education Week
Planning is underway for the 14th annual International Education Week (November 18-22, coinciding with American Education Week). The week, a joint initiative of the Departments of Education and State, provides schools, colleges and universities, and communities an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This year's theme is "International Education: Learning Matters Around the World." Individuals and institutions are encouraged to join the listserv and submit an event. Also, Secretary Duncan recorded a video encouraging the public to participate.
Looking Back
Already longing for summer? Here is a look back at some of this summer's exciting events in Washington, D.C.:
- President Obama and other dignitaries paid tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr., and those who participated in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. "The arc of the moral universe may bend towards justice, but it does not bend on its own," the President said in an echo of King's words. "To secure the gains this country has made requires constant vigilance, not complacency."
- The Department held five "Let's Read! Let's Move!" summer enrichment events, engaging children in reading and physical activity and promoting healthy eating habits. Links are available for each of the five events. Also, a video summarizes all five events.
- The Department welcomed its sixth cohort of Teaching Ambassador Fellowseight teachers from across the country on either full- or part-time release to supply their expertise to the federal policy apparatus. The initiative has proven so valuable the inaugural cohort of Principal Ambassador Fellows is soon to arrive as well. Before leaving, several fellows from the outgoing cohort shared reflections and anecdotes on what the fellowship is all about.
Also: For National Arts in Education Week (September 8-14), the Arts Education Partnership (AEP) hosted a special web page with acknowledgements of the importance of arts education.
Odds and Ends
President Obama sent to the Senate his nomination of Jim Shelton to be Deputy Secretary of Education.
On September 9, the Department announced $1.9 million in grants to organizations in California, Missouri, and Washington to help individuals with disabilities purchase needed assistive technology.
Then, on September 12, the Department announced $15.1 million in Enhanced Assessment Grants for the state education agencies in Maryland, North Carolina, and Texas to develop Kindergarten Entry Assessments. Notably, there are groups of collaborating states receiving grants under Maryland's and North Carolina's applications.
The Department has entered into a first-of-its-kind resolution agreement with Alabama's Lee County School District to ensure that all students have equal access to Advanced Placement (AP) courses and other high-level learning opportunities.
Sue Swenson, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, blogged about her experience on the fourth leg of the "Education Built to Last" Best Practices Tour, visiting several U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools (ED-GRS) in southeastern Wisconsin. (Note: September 16-20, ED-GRS Director Andrea Falken and other senior agency officials will visit award-winning schools across California, Oregon, and Washington as part of the fifth leg of the tour.)
Early this month, First Lady Michelle Obama joined former NBA basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, U.S. Olympic track and fielder Allyson Felix, U.S. Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes, and students at Washington, D.C.'s Orr Elementary School for a Let's Move! Active Schools Back to School event.
In successive blog posts (1 and 2) on the General Services Administration's (GSA) DigitalGov blog, Brenda Wensil, Chief Customer Experience Officer in the Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA), spotlights the impact of her office on the customer experience of student aid applicants and recipients via the Integrated Student Experience Project.
Two reports were recently released by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) based on the National Household Education Surveys Program. One report presents findings on children's participation in relative care, non-relative care, and center-based care arrangements, as well as parents' reasons for choosing care, the most important factors when choosing a care arrangement, and parents' participation in various learning activities with their children. The other report looks at aspects of parent and family involvement in education, such as help with homework, family activities, and parental involvement at school. Also, a new, large-scale random assignment study by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) examines the effectiveness of secondary math teachers from Teach for America and Teaching Fellows. Additionally, IES and the National Science Foundation released common guidelines for education research and development.
Quote to Note
"Today marks another year gone by since the tragic events of September 11, 2001. For so many of us, we will always remember where we were when we received the news and the wave of emotions that flowed over us or the following days, weeks, months, and, now, years that have since passed. Yet, most of America's students are too young to remember those traumatic events. It is our responsibility to share with them the weight of that horrific day, the amazing acts of courage, and how, even through great adversity, our nation came together to heal as one.... Today is a time of reflection, a time for service, and a time to remember that, each and every day, we are all Americansworking hard to make this country great."
|Secretary Arne Duncan (9/11/13), in a statement, prior to participating in a 9/11 service project at Dodge Traditional Magnet Middle School in Tucson, Arizona

Old Sacramento Real Estate
Nestled in between the Sacramento River and downtown, Old Sacramento is a location pleasantly caught in time – a window to the way Sacramentans lived more than a century ago.
Today, the historic hub bustles with locals and visitors alike soaking in the soul of this once Wild West metropolis. The 28-acre district is a state historic park, national historic landmark, and thriving retail district with numerous restaurants, shops, and boutiques. History thrives with a plethora of museums, including the ever-popular California State Railroad Museum, Sacramento History Museum, Delta King Riverboat, and Old Sacramento Schoolhouse Museum.
While most visitor-driven neighborhoods offer uninspired dining, Old Sac's culinary offerings are plentiful. Touted eateries include Indio Café, Old Town Smokehouse, the Firehouse Restaurant, Ten 22, and Danny's Mini Donuts (not really a restaurant, but a must-stop if you're in the area).
The area is also a hot spot for happenings. The Sacramento Music Festival & Jubilee, St. Patrick's Parade, Mardi Gras Parade, and Pacific Rim Street Festival all call this historic hamlet home, and the holidays light up with a Theatre of Lights and New Year's Eve fireworks.

Q: We're seven weeks into the program and outside of some general body pain, my feet are a bit tired and sore. What are some tips on how to deal with tired feet?
A: As long as your feet are suffering from general soreness and fatigue, and it's not specific to one area, there's a few things to look at:
. Your RunWalk shoes have to be in good shape. Shoes last 300-500 running miles and 400-600 walking miles.
. Are you overdoing it? I know participants are excited about this April's Sun Run and they want to be well trained , but you don't want to over-extend yourself . Are you training too much? Rest days are as equally important as training . They have to be a part of your regimen.
. Other possibilities include using an insole, ice, getting a foot evaluation and visiting a podiatrist.
Q: What exactly is Plantar Fasciitis and how do you manage it?
A: Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammation of the plantar fascia, the connective tissue that runs from the bottom of the heel and splits into bands to reach the toes. The notable pain runs along the arch of the foot, as well as the heel.
Getting out of bed and taking that first step is a painful experience as the foot contracts during sleep and the plantar fascia shortens. As the day progresses, with prolonged standing, walking or running comes more pain.
There are several possible causes of plantar fasciitis: Poor foot mechanics, improper footwear and support, limited foot flexibility, a tight Achilles tendon, and a rapid increase in intensity and duration of activity. Ninety per cent of plantar fasciitis is mechanical and if treatment (see below) is not working, then you may need to look at causes like back, arthritis and nerve issues. There are a number of treatment options:
. Your footwear . Along with running shoes (see above), the other shoes you wear must be looked at. Rubber soles don't last for five years. The midsole and the rubber component of the sole can dry up, meaning a replacement is needed.
. Stretching exercises. Pulling your toes towards your nose is a great exercise that can be done four or five times a day. Hold the stretch for 20-40 seconds, relax, then do it again.
. Massage. A simple thing like massaging your arch with your opposite foot works great. You can also roll a tennis ball or a cold water bottle in your arch. Even massaging the perimeter of your heel and moving your foot through its range of motion will get the blood flowing.
. Rest and cold therapy will help reduce the inflammation and can help relieve the pain.
. When dealing with plantar fasciitis, the participant should visit a podiatrist for an examination and further recommendations.
. Custom moulded orthotics from a podiatrist.
Q: How do I properly manage blisters during the InTraining program?
A: Blisters are common for runners and walkers. They are an accumulation of fluid within the skin caused by rubbing/friction from your shoe or sock. Blisters can be uncomfortable and painful and can recur. Popping a blister is not recommended. Cover a blister with Vaseline, a Band-Aid or a product like Moleskin to reduce the heat and friction on the area.
Next Week: Cross Training

Yesterday I was a bit nervous for the ride, but everything worked out great :). The kids left for Walnut Creek with my parents yesterday, so instead of getting a pedicure and drinking margaritas, I got ready for my bike ride today. I got new tires on my bike (trainer has made my back tire really smooth and flat - thought it was time to get some new tires). Also, got all my food/clothes ready.
Honestly, I was a bit nervous. A cyclist was just killed on the bike route I do every time I ride. And I think that always messes with your head. They aren't exactly sure what happened yet - but he was riding in the bike lane doing the right thing. A car just hit him somehow - I think it's being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I stopped at his memorial on the way home (and rode on the sidewalk for that stretch of the rode). Eric Billings was his name - RIP.
I went about 51.48 miles total - the first half being flat/slightly downhill - towards the ocean. And the second half a climb with some pretty good hills. I surprised myself at how well I felt the whole ride. Here is me at mile 44 (yes, dork, i know):
Here is my view at mile 44:
After my ride, I did a 15 minute run through the neighborhood. Legs felt heavy and I went slow. I am already above the 10% rule in milage this week (really don't want to get injured)!
My sons will be gone this week and we'll be driving up north to Walnut Creek on Friday to get them. I am hoping to get a lot of training done this week - and other stuff done also. But I miss them:
Here are my workouts for Week 18:
Monday - 45 min trainer ride followed by 15 min transition run
61 min swim - 2700 yds
Tuesday - 45 min strength (P90X Chest & Back)
54 min run
Wednesday - 1 hour trainer ride with 3 X 5 min hard
37 min swim
Thursday - 7 mile run
Opps! Was supposed to do 30 min strength session - but watched Law & Order SVU instead.....
Friday - 75 min run (8.07 miles)
Saturday - REST
Sunday - 3 hour 40 min ride outside
15 min transition run
Total - 11 hours and 30 mins of training this week!!!
Only missed one workout - strength training and 23 mins of my swim workout on Wednesday (because I forgot all my stuff!!)

MUD Journal
A personal Journal about African Arts and Culture curated by Alex Gwaze & Friends
Toggle Sidebar
Tag: rita nyathi
#ForOurWomen – Gender Based Violence = Photobook
Continue reading
Since the development of digital cameras and the Internet, numerous pictures and videos are exchanged and uploaded to social networking sites daily. MUD PHOTOBOOK or ebooks are essentially exhibitions or photo essays / coffee table book that organize a collection of selected items, themes, topics and subjects pictorially, for the purpose of identification, display, education, and interpretation.
#BAASKLAP (noun, verb; Noirslang is derived from Baas (noun; Afrikaans/ Dutch) meaning master, boss (informal), chief, ruler, commander, head, overlord, overseer, chief, a white person in a position of authority in relation to non-whites and Klap(verb; Afrikaans/ Dutch) meaning hit, smack, strike, clap, bang. A BAASKLAP is an indication of probable trouble, the mere mention of getting one makes all good people fall in line; it spreads fear and anxiety. We define it as – a whipping, threat, degrading, control, schooling, correction, propaganda and pain. Nowhere is the BAASKLAP more apparent than through the dissemination of information to the general public. Information is power and while it is important to stay informed, one must be aware that misinformation is also another form of power – distraction. BAASKLAP provides a kind-hearted slap in the face that acts more as a wake- up call rather than a rude awakening. A 'bang' that tells you"something that occurred", pay close attention – get better informed. We are not anti-establishment know-it-alls propagating conspiracy theories willy-nilly, we are simple citizen journalists saying, "Hmm, this sounds interesting how about we take a closer look?"
To blacklist someone/ something is to put their name or product in a database of banned or undesirable items. We at MUD like lists, but not those kind of lists. Our #BLACKLIST is just a list of interesting African people, noteworthy African activities or innovative African products – black is beautiful.
Money or fame? This debate has no merit for a chief; his/her role is much more down to earth. A Chief is a leader with a significant following garnered either through oratory influence, wealth or by example. The Chief represents the people's interests, a movement or an idea. Some of the ideas he/she champions may not be the most popular ones or have the same economic clout as those of other dominant leaders, however they are always recognised as an important influential voice within a community; it is for this reason they are greatly honoured. They maintain social norms, create political awareness, minimise conflict and set examples. They are ground-breaking innovators who have made their mark and established themselves as pacesetting pioneers who are often the first to do something that will eventually transcends their initial input. A Chief's role has always been to speak for the people. CHIEFING profiles prominent individuals and landmark initiatives that are shaping the African community. Africa is not a country, it is a community. A community that is not developing, rising or awakening from any deep slumber, it's happening and it's happening right now. Being marked present in the community is a key step…
Uniformity often leads to the same ideas being perpetually recycled. One needs to look away from the Acacia tree at sunset to discover the other fruitful trees on the African landscape. #OFFTHETREE presents alternative ideas and individuals on the fringes of African popular culture. The African experience is as diverse as the animals that roam its plains and the seeds that are sown in its soil. There is more to Africa than just "the big five" and poverty, there are some 'strange' people here. They might look and sound African, but they seem to have taken a 'sho't left' and came back speaking a language only they understand. African thinkers, artists, leaders and innovators are pushing the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm, adding new unique voices to the 'culture,'and we all know how loud Africans can get! African storytellers are diverse, but the African narrative has only marginally improved. We explore notions of the 'alternative' and the 'independent' in an effort to promote innovative and original thinking that fosters new ways of seeing the traditional while embracing the unknown and known.

Mitt Romney picked up a total of six states on Super Tuesday, with Rick Santorum gaining three and Newt Gingrich one. The results, particularly a close race in Ohio, left the contest far from decided. NBC's Peter Alexander reports.
Updated at 7:44 a.m. ET — Mitt Romney scored a narrow victory over Rick Santorum in the Ohio presidential primary following a hard-fought campaign that had been perceived as a turning point in the battle for the Republican presidential nomination. NBC News projected he was the apparent winner in that state.
Both Romney and Santorum won several Super Tuesday caucuses and primaries, but none more prized than Romney's victory in Ohio. The former Massachusetts governor was able to ride a wave of momentum out of Michigan, where he also closely battled Santorum, to erase the former Pennsylvania senator's lead in Ohio over the past week.
The trajectory of the Republican campaign hinged in large part on Ohio, and now Romney may claim the imprimatur associated with winning a state that's considered an essential step toward victory in the general election.
But a margin of just a few thousand votes separated Romney and Santorum, representing a kind of moral victory for Santorum given the way the Romney campaign and a supportive super PAC heavily outspent him in Ohio.
NBC's David Gregory, Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie weigh in on the Super Tuesday results, which left the Republican primary race still wide open.
In all, Romney appeared to have sealed victories in six Super Tuesday states. In addition to Ohio, NBC News projected Romney as the winner in Vermont, Massachusetts, Idaho and Virginia (where only he and Texas Rep. Ron Paul appeared on the ballot). Early Wednesday, Romney added Alaska to his tally.
NBC News projections suggested that Santorum won Tennessee, Oklahoma and North Dakota, while former House Speaker Newt Gingrich won Georgia, the state from which he had served as a representative in Congress.
Mitt Romney tells a Super Tuesday crowd of supporters that the country can't afford four more years of Barack Obama with no one to answer to.
But neither Santorum nor Gingrich, buoyed by their own wins, seemed any closer by the end of the night to ending their campaigns, reflecting the lingering doubts over Romney among conservatives, which were underscored in exit polling.
Check out the full Super Tuesday results here
"We're going to win a few, we're going to lose a few. But as it looks right now, we're going to get at least a couple gold medals and a whole passel full of silver medals," Santorum said in Steubenville, Ohio, before the state's results were announced. "We have won in the West and the Midwest and the South, and we're ready to win across this country."
The states with contests Tuesday were Georgia, Virginia, Vermont, North Dakota, Ohio, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Idaho, Alaska and Wyoming.
Mark Humphrey / AP
See pictures from around America as 11 states hold contests that will award a combined 424 delegates in the Republican primary.
More delegates were up for grabs on this Super Tuesday than had been previously allocated to the remaining GOP candidates after two months of voting, according to NBC News projections. Between the 10 states holding primaries or caucuses and Wyoming, which will allocate five of its 26 delegates, a total of 424 of the 1,144 delegates needed to win the nomination are at stake.
Delegate race tells a different GOP story
In addition to Ohio, NBC News projected Romney as the winner in Vermont, Massachusetts, Idaho and Virginia (where only he and Texas Rep. Ron Paul appeared on the ballot). Early Wednesday, Romney added Alaska to his tally.
"There are three states under our belt, and counting. We're going to get more by the time this night is over," Romney told supporters in Boston before firmly declaring: "I'm going to get this nomination."
'We're doing some counting'
Romney emerged as the night's winner in terms of delegate haul, a point which he emphasized in his speech.
"Tonight we're doing some counting," he said. "We're counting the delegates for the convention and that looks good, and we're counting down the days to the convention, and that looks better."
But exit polls showed Romney continued to struggle with the most conservative voters, the core of the Republican Party, in states like Ohio and Tennessee -- arguably the two most competitive contests held Tuesday.
NBC's David Gregory and Savannah Guthrie discuss the latest Super Tuesday results in the GOP presidential nominations which hinges on a close race in Ohio.
But Romney performed well among voters who consider the economy their top issue, or who rated a candidate's ability to beat President Barack Obama in November -- two key selling points in the former Massachusetts governor's campaign.
Some Republicans had hoped that Super Tuesday would help propel the Republican race into a new stage, one that draws toward a conclusion given the growing negative cloud surrounding the GOP race.
Santorum camp asking conservatives to pressure Gingrich to drop out
Forty percent of respondents, for instance, said in Monday's NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll that the primary process has given them a less favorable opinion of the Republican Party. And more independent voters said in a separate Washington Post/Pew Research Center poll that their impression of the GOP candidates was getting worse as a result of the primary than those who said their opinion was improving.
Gingrich decried that negativity in his election night speech, one in which he vowed to press forward.
"I want you to know that, in the morning, we are going on to Alabama. We're going on to Mississippi. We're going on to Kansas," he said to cheers. "And that's just this week."
After victories in Oklahoma and Tennessee, Rick Santorum expresses optimism as he addresses supporters at a rally in Ohio, saying that he and his family are "making a sacrifice for a very big goal," replacing President Barack Obama.
A strong performance by Romney might have moved more Republicans who had harbored doubts about the ex-governor off the fence, and finally create some sustained momentum for Romney. Still, momentum in the primary has come in fits and starts, threatening to make the Republican campaign into a prolonged battle over delegates.
Santorum expressed optimism as he addressed supporters at a rally in Ohio, saying that he and his family are "making a sacrifice for a very big goal," replacing Obama in the White House.
"They are decimating each other ... independent voters are fleeing him," Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod said Tuesday night on NBC in regard to Romney and the GOP campaign. "I feel good about how things have evolved in the last six months."
While the day boasted more primaries and caucuses than any other in 2012, it was a shadow of Super Tuesday in 2008, when there were 20 Republican contests.
There was another big difference, a trend away from winner-take-all contests to a system of allocating delegates in rough proportion to a candidate's share of the popular vote.
Sen. John McCain won eight states on Super Tuesday in 2008 and lost 12 to Romney and Mike Huckabee combined. But six of McCain's victories were winner-take-all primaries, allowing him to build an insurmountable delegate lead that all but sealed his nomination

1. "We're your biggest advocate, except when we're not."
A consumer who seeks help from one of the nation's 300,000-plus financial advisers is probably hoping to find (what else?) financial advice. Seems straightforward enough. But like anything where there's a lot of money, and lawyers, involved, it's not. For years, consumer groups and rival industry factions have battled — before Congress, the Securities and Exchange Commission and, of course, the press — over whether that "advice" should be required to be in the client's best interest (the so-called fiduciary standard) or merely "suitable," based on factors like age and risk tolerance.
Here's the one other story that you can't afford to miss today
Under current rules, advisers can adhere to either one of those ethical standards or both, depending on how clients pay for their services. The SEC has said it wants to hold all advisers to the tougher best-interest standard. Most consumer groups favor such a change, arguing that the looser "suitability" standard encourages advisers to steer clients into costlier products that'll earn them fatter commissions. "They call themselves advisers, but they are functionally sales reps," says Knut Rostad, founder of the Institute for the Fiduciary Standard, an investor-advocacy group.
Advisers who favor the ostensibly looser standard say they have investors' best interests at heart. One key contention: While the tougher ethical standard might eliminate some conflicts of interest, it would also boost costs by creating extra compliance work and additional legal liability for advisers. Groups like the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors argue that if all advisers were required to follow the fiduciary standard, many less wealthy clients — such as those with less than $250,000 to commit to markets — would simply turn away from financial advice altogether. "The fiduciary standard disenfranchises the middle market," says Terry Headley, a financial adviser in La Vista, Neb., and the group's former president.

White House mum on preparations for verdict in George Zimmerman trial
By Justin Sink
White House press secretary Jay Carney on Friday sidestepped a question about whether the Obama administration was preparing for the possible public reaction to the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial.
"To suggest our views on — or anyone's views here, whether it's the president's or anyone else's views here — on an ongoing trial that's about to go to jury, I think would be a mistake," Carney said. "And potential outcomes and what might happen in an outcome, this is, you know, a jury in Florida in the United States that's fulfilling its function — I mean, a trial and a jury —and we'll obviously you know, be made aware of the results of that when they happen."
Law enforcement officials in Florida have urged restraint ahead of the verdict, with the Broward County Sheriff's Office releasing two public service announcements urging trial-watchers to "raise their voice, not their hands" if they are displeased with the verdict.

BRUSSELS, April 8 (UPI) -- U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew's two-day trip to Europe will center on increasing demand to stimulate the global economy, a senior official said.
"It is vital to see rebalancing within the euro area with surplus economies contributing more to demand," said the official, who asked to remain anonymous.
The official said the sluggish European economy had subtracted 0.3 percentage points from global economic growth in 2012.
Lew Monday was scheduled to meet with President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, Commissioner of Internal Market and Services Michel Barnier and Finance Commissioner Olli Rehn.
On Tuesday, he was to meet with the finance ministers of Germany and France, Wolfgang Schauble and Pierre Moscovici.
Some finance ministers are concerned that the focus on reducing government debt is creating a cycle of poor economic performances followed by reduced tax revenues, which means further spending cuts would be required to maintain a strategy of lowering debt.
In the final quarter of 2012, the gross domestic products contracted in the eurozone's four largest economies -- Germany, France, Spain and Italy -- and in the eurozone as a whole.
Despite that, European leaders have repeatedly been disdainful of U.S. leaders flying to Europe to tell them how to fix their problems, which are widely considered to have begun with the 2008 financial crisis in the United States, the Times said.
German leaders have also steeled themselves in the past four years against European resistance to budget discipline. Germany is not likely to change course at Lew's suggestion.

Before I go any further, however, I would like to say a word about your workspace. I have a fold up table in my den/guest room to stack, store, and organize the projects I am currently working on. I'm trying, I said trying, to keep all of my active projects in one place. I also have three cats that jump everywhere and little boys that battle aliens with light sabers in my house. On top of that, spilling drinks and other liquids comes naturally to us. My fold up table is out of the way where it is not likely to get knocked over or spilled on. Keep all liquids away from your photos and other materials.
For supplies, you can spend what your budget allows. I would love to buy an extensive array of archival products, but they can be expensive. I have purchased basic non-archival storage items from Walmart, Staples, and Target. For acid free archival materials A.C. Moore, Michaels, and the Container Store are possibilities. There are also online product purveyors of archival products such as Gaylord. My supplies are pretty simple. They include archival boxes for storage, PVC-free photo sleeves and slide sleeves. I use acid free tissue paper for wrapping fabric items. I am also planning to purchase acid free copy paper and folders.
I have about 100 letters, mostly in Polish. I don't read Polish, but saved the letters hoping to find someone to translate them for me someday. I'm lucky that I've made contact with a cousin from Poland who is as interested in genealogy as I am. He is kindly translating letters for me one at a time. I scan them and send them via e-mail. He replies with a translation. I have organized the letters in an archival box purchased at a crafts store. They are arranged first by sender and then by date. My cousin translates the earliest ones first, so we can learn about our family using a chronological timeline. I'm planning to print the translations on archival paper and put them in the box next to the original letter.
If you are interested in translating letters get your name out there via blogs, message boards and the like. Stating the obvious, RootsWeb is a great place to start. You too may have a cousin who is interested in genealogy and happy to translate letters for you. Other options to consider: hire a professional translator; contact a poor graduate student looking to make some extra cash; or make friends with another genealogist. Are there any ethic churches or schools in your area you could contact? A final note on letters--if you have envelopes keep the envelopes with the letters. I have the street addresses of our family back in Poland dating back to the 1930s, because my family kept the letters in the envelopes they came in.
I've organized my photos in archival boxes purchased from a crafts store. I also have some photos in archival plastic sleeves and slides in archival plastic sleeves inside a three ring binder. If you have photos in old photographer's folders/portfolios, carefully, and I mean very carefully, remove the photos from the old acidic folders. If you can't remove the photo without potentially damaging it, place a clean piece of acid-free copy paper between the photo and the folder to protect the photo. Before you toss a folder/portfolio make sure there isn't writing on it, like a personal note from the sender to the recipient. You don't want to toss away an inscription by mistake and lose valuable information for your research.
Consider purchasing a light screen to organize slides. If you buy a scanner, can it scan negatives and slides? How many slides can it scan at once? Unfortunately my scanner can only scan four slides at a time. Given that I have a couple thousand slides, I expect to finish my scanning project sometime in 2035. I am currently the process of scanning and organizing photos onto my hard drive, preparing them for a digital scrapbook. I haven't yet, but hope to in the near future, check out one of the photo sharing websites to share all of these great photos with other members of my family. Also, if you are looking for a great gift for someone--birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day--consider scanning your old photos and then give your loved one a digital picture frame.
Do you have yellowed newspaper clippings? You might want to consider photocopying them onto archival paper. You can keep the original and the photocopy together in an archival folder, or you can toss the smelly yellowed original and keep the copy. You may want to eliminate the paper all together and simply keep a scanned copy on your hard drive, memory stick, or photo sharing website.
As far as memorabilia is concerned--tickets, programs, postcards, menus, diaries, yearbooks, etc.--archival boxes are handy. If I have several copies of something and the item is of special significance or interest, I keep three copies. I don't think more than that is really necessary. I don't really see the need to keep more than one copy of most things. As I mentioned earlier, acid free tissue is great for storing fabrics.
When I started this process in 2004 my son was 18 months old. It's now 2010, and my son will be heading off to second grade in the fall. I say, somewhat tongue in cheek, by the time I finish he'll probably be in college. At least I won't be bored in my retirement years. Yes, my organizing project has taken a while. As I said, my process may not be the best way or work for everyone, but it's worked for me. I hope you find some what I've shared useful. Now go forth and organize...

About the Brand
As the industry leader for over 30 years, Easton Baseball/Softball has continued to raise the bar with innovation, originality and ingenuity. It began in 1969, when Easton produced the first true aluminum bat, and has continued throughout the past three decades with virtually all significant industry "firsts" having been pioneered by Easton: first CU31 bat; first C405 bat; first titanium bat; first Carbon Core bat; first Scandium bat; etc.
The trend continues today with bats such as the Tri-Shell and the ConneXion. The patented Tri-Shell design features a super elastic rubber sleeve sandwiched in between thin outer shells for unparalleled performance, feel, and durability. The patented ConneXion design takes a separate handle and barrel piece and mechanically interlocks them using a ConneXion" elastomer piece for outstanding flex, feel, performance, and vibration reduction. In the spring of 2002, Easton introduced the Tri-Shell ConneXion, merging the technological advancements of the two bats into one.
The bats are just a part of Easton's Baseball/Softball product stable. Easton carries a wide range of high-performance baseball and softball equipment including ball gloves and batting gloves, sport bags and other accessories. Each Easton product is engineered with the player's needs and specifications in mind to provide a competitive edge in the games of fastpitch and slow-pitch softball and adult, senior youth and youth baseball.
Of all aspects that have contributed to Easton's success, none is as important as the research and development Easton engineers put into every product. Easton's trademark of innovative research and development goes back to Doug's initial experiments with aluminum and continues today in a variety of high performance materials.
Along with the many milestones Easton has set in the sporting goods industry, a little-known fact is that Easton engineered and produced the thermal shroud for the seismometer used on the first Apollo lunar landing. Jim Easton, Chairman, has always placed great importance on expanding into new markets. And today, Easton's presence in the baseball/softball, hockey, and bike markets show its continued legacy of producing innovative, high performance products.
The Easton Sports Lab, located in Van Nuys, is one of the most unique testing facilities in the sporting goods industry. Originally established to study the parameters of Easton equipment, it has evolved into a lab that not only tests equipment performance, but human performance as well. The Sports Lab has become an invaluable tool with which Easton engineers continue to create superior products.
An example of their unique testing was proven when the Easton Sports Lab teamed up with tent manufacturer Sierra Designs to create sensors and integrated software to test a state-of-the-art tent design that is supported by Easton E9 tubing in the most extreme weather conditions. In actual mountain tests, with the wind blowing up to 96 mph, Sports Lab technicians were able to record the stress on the tubing to confirm its strength and durability.
At Easton, most of the engineers are also athletes in the sport in which they innovate and design product based on their own experience. The two-piece aluminum Easton hockey stick, for example, was developed by an engineer with a passion for hockey. He developed a design that would in time become the number one hockey stick in the National Hockey League.

About the Brand
Rawlings is a major manufacturer of competitive team sports equipment and apparel for baseball, basketball, and football, as well as licensed MLB, NFL, and NCAA retail products. Rawlings is a major supplier to professional, collegiate, interscholastic and amateur organizations worldwide, including the Official Baseball Supplier to Major League Baseball.
The first real innovation in glove making occurred in 1912 when Rawlings Sporting Goods Company introduced the "Sure Catch" glove, which was "endorsed by leading players all over the country." The Sure Catch was a one-piece glove with sewn-in finger channels and looked better suited for a duck's foot than a man's hand. Catchers' mitts used at the time were large and bulky with a single leather thong passing for a web.
In 1920, Bill Doak, a journeyman pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, approached Rawlings with an idea for improving the baseball glove from a mere protective device to a genuine aid in fielding. The "Bill Doak" model was so revolutionary that it stayed in Rawlings' line until 1953. Its key feature was a multi-thong web laced into the first finger and thumb, which created for the first time in baseball's young life, a natural pocket.
In 1925, Rawlings unveiled a three-fingered fielder's glove, and ten years later improved the Bill Doak model with a two-piece leather web. At the same time, the "T" web became a rage for first basemen's mitts. The pocket underwent a pronounced change in 1941 when the Trapper Mitt, also known as the Claw, appeared. The "Deep Well" pocket was so unique that Rawlings quickly patented it. The design was improved in 1950 by adding a leather piece across the top. Another significant creation occurred in 1948 with the three-fingered Playmaker. A five-fingered fielder's model, with all fingers laced together, provided greater pocket control.
The six-fingered Trap-Eze evolved in the 1960's. In more recent years, Rawlings produced the Fastback design, which gives a glove a snugger fit, greater extension, and overall control. The Holdster is a slot through which a finger can be extended for additional protection from impacts on the pocket. Then, there is the Edge-U-Cated Heel with its extended U-shaped lacing and the Pro H Web and much-copied Basket Web.
Some of Rawlings more recent glove innovations also include the unique Spin-Stopper design which reduces ball spin when the ball hits the glove, and the Cantilever glove design feature that provides a cushioned area between the hand and the glove's palm area. In all, Rawlings has produced and patented more functionally innovative glove features and designs than that of any other glove manufacturer. The result is that the modern baseball glove is much larger, more comfortable, better padded and made to last far longer than its ancestors. It is not uncommon to see today's Major League players wearing the same Rawlings' glove they wore during their college playing days. In fact, Rawlings is the #1 glove in the major leagues. Rawlings maintains about 65 models of baseball and softball mitts and gloves in its line. The prototypes of virtually all of them have been field tested by professionals before entering a sporting goods dealer's inventory.
