When it comes to the most heated of Catholic Academies rivalries, you can toss out the records and rankings, and settle in for a few hours of knock-down, drag-out drama.
That's just what occurred last Thursday evening when the only two teams still without a loss in the AACA met at Mount St. Joseph Academy. Remaining unblemished at 13-0, the host Magic dissolved a 30-30 tie early in the fourth quarter to go ahead of Villa Maria for good, but the Hurricanes stayed close behind until the final buzzer signaled a 43-39 Mount victory and the home fans exhaled in unison.
Completing the first round of league contests, the Magic improved to 7-0 in the AACA, while Villa slipped to 5-1 in the league and 8-3 overall. MSJ senior guard Mary Jo Horgan collected seven rebounds and four steals and led all scorers with 18 points, one more than her opposite number on the Villa team, Brooke Angelos.
A week earlier in Villa's overtime win against Nazareth Academy (a club the Mount beat 40-32 last Tuesday), the Hurricanes lost one of their starting players when Maddie McTigue was bopped in the schnoz and suffered a broken nose. Last Thursday, the 'Canes pretty much made up for that absence by curtailing the role of 6'1" Mount senior Steph Smith, who was hit with three first-half fouls and eventually was ejected in the fourth quarter with four points and four rebounds on the stat sheet.
A smaller forward for the Magic, junior Cailin Schmeer, used her leaping ability to help out under the boards with a team-high eight rebounds. She scored all of her eight points in the second half, netting the last two from the free throw line with 8.2 seconds to go. The winners' total also included six points by junior Bridget Higgins, four from sophomore Kelsey Jones, and three from junior Maddie Kohler.
For Villa, Angelos' effort was supported by guards Kellie O'Rourke (nine points) and Maria Ferrari (seven), and forward Kristin Walheim (six).
While the Mount players didn't perform any special pre-game rituals when their classes ended, Horgan reported "Everyone was pumped up the whole day. When we play Villa in any sport it's a good game."
The senior last encountered a Villa squad back on October 22, when she helped the Magic defeat the Hurricanes' field hockey team for the league championship.
After a lay-up and free throw by Villa's Ferrari and a three-pointer by Horgan, the 3-3 tie held up for a few minutes as the overeager teams combined for seven straight turnovers (three for MSJ). Smith moved the Magic ahead, making two of three free throws and depositing a lay-up. Later, lay-ups by Horgan and Higgins and a three-point basket by Kohler powered the hosts to a 14-7 advantage at the end of the opening quarter.
Villa's Angelos started the second round by hitting two foul shots, then she made two more on a one-and-one gambit, since the Magic had already put their guests into the bonus. The VMA star ended the frame with a three-pointer and a lay-up in the last 49 seconds, sending the teams to the locker room knotted up at 20-20.
It was déjà vu for the capacity crowd in the third quarter, as the Mount went up by five (30-25) with offense from Horgan, Schmeer and Higgins, only to have Angelos nail a "three" and a lay-up back-to-back, this time tying the game at 30-all. The Mount edged ahead 34-33, but Smith picked up her fourth personal with a minute to go in round three. Schmeer stuck a baseline jumper with five seconds remaining, sending the hosts into the fourth quarter with a 36-33 lead.
Horgan began the final frame with a trey from the left wing, but Angelos came right back with a successful drive. Vying for a rebound, MSJ's Smith was whistled down for her fifth foul with 4:14 on the clock.
"There's a big difference when Steph isn't in the game," Horgan said, "but in the end we came through and I think we showed some character. We stopped trying for the steal every time, so we cut down on fouls."
In the following two minutes, a lay-up by VMA's Ferrari spun out of the cylinder, while at the other end the Mounties failed to cash in on a pair of one-and-one's. Two field goals from the paint by the visitors' O'Rourke were sandwiched around a Horgan lay-up, making it 41-39 with 50 seconds left in the game.
With 21 seconds to go, Mount St. Joe again came up empty on a one-and-one, but Schmeer rebounded the miss and when the Magic came down the court Villa deflected an MSJ pass out over the baseline. Horgan rose up like a wide receiver between two defensive backs to snare the inbounds pass out near midcourt, and soon after that Schmeer's two free throws gave the Magic a four-point lead. Angelos' final heave at the hoop from the three-point loop fell short, and the game ended at 43-39.
"A lot of times in [close] games like this it comes down to being patient on offense," Horgan commented. "We have good plays, and when we settle down and run the offense right, it's hard for people to guard us."

I consulted with the Church Hospitality Team leader of a large urban church that is developing a parking lot ministry greeter team.
Over the decades, this church has acquired neighboring parcels of land in the city to expand their campus. The end result being that there is no contiguous land parcel for one parking lot.
Instead, there are small disconnected parking lots scattered around the campus of multiple buildings.
The question we explored is how to help first time church visitors navigate the complexity of multiple parking lots when certain lots are full.
Together, we discovered two useful ideas for the Church Website: [Read more…] about 2 Church Website Pages to Help First Time Visitors

"Melodiously mesmerising as a lazy summer afternoon" i-D
Mr Bongo is proud to announce the next instalment from the wonderful Hollie Cook. 'Hollie Cook in Dub' is a hypnotising adaptation of her enormously well received eponymous debut album.
Re-working Miss Cook's tracks in a dub style, the legendary Prince Fatty adds heavy bass and reverb texture to Hollie's beautiful, captivating vocals. Excitably the record features three new tracks including 'For Me You Are Dub' – a ska version of an old Andrews Sisters' classic; 'And The Beat Goes On' – a brand new, heavy dub cover of the The Whispers' disco banger; and 'Baby' – a new revamp of this hugely requested anthem, in collaboration with The Shoes. Prince Fatty has incredibly added further layers to Hollie's cover of Shangri-Las' '(Remember) Walkin' In The Sand' which she effortlessly transformed from a dark emotive song to one filled with a flavour of hope.
The dub versions showcase real tape echoes, heavy spring reverbs and alternate instrumental elements such as melodica, percussion and horns. All the dubs were mixed live in Prince Fatty's studio in the same Rub a Dub style as was made famous in 70s Jamaica by King Tubby and others, i.e with fingers, late night vibes and re-arranged with a razor blade.
Hollie Cook was born and bred in West London in a household dominated by music – with Sex Pistol Paul Cook as her dad, music was always around – and she gravitated to the sounds of Marc Bolan, David Bowie and The Cure.
Entering professional acting, singing and modelling at a young age, Hollie soon rejected her performance arts schooling for a musical path truer to her influences. Family friend and Slits singer Ari Up persuaded Hollie to sing backing vocals for a new EP 'Revenge of the Killer Slits', which she followed by ditching school to join the band on a six week tour.
The summer of 2011 saw the release of her self-titled debut album which received critical acclaim from many and resulted in being on an array of 'Top Albums of 2011' lists including The Word, The Mirror and Rough Trade. Hollie's self-coined 'tropical pop' sound stems from her passion for reggae singers Janet Kay and Phyllis Dillon combined with classic 60s girl groups. Singles 'Body Beat', 'That Very Night' and 'Milk & Honey' made waves gaining heavy support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, BBC 1Xtra, XFM, Kiss, Choice FM, culminating in a live Maida Vale session for Radio 1's Huw Stephens and a Later… With Jools Holland performance on BBC 2.
Hollie's live band played Big Chill, V, Festibelly, One Love, Jazz Cafe in 2011. This year see's Hollie gearing up for the release of an album of new material and a 20-date tour, with notable performances confirmed at Bestival, Camp Bestival, The Vintage Festival. The summer will see Hollie play to her biggest crowd in Manchester to support The Stone Roses in their historical comeback tour in the summer.

Judges Nixing Keystone XL South Cases Had Tar Sands-Related Oil InvestmentsRead time: 7 mins
Steve Horn | August 13, 2015
By Steve Horn • Thursday, August 13, 2015 - 17:08
On August 4, the U.S. Appeals Court for the 10th Circuit shot down the Sierra Club's petition for rehearing motion for the southern leg of TransCanada's Keystone XL tar sands export pipeline. The decision effectively writes the final chapter of a years-long legal battle in federal courts.
But one of the three judges who made the ruling, Bobby Ray Baldock — a Ronald Reagan nominee — has tens of thousands of dollars invested in royalties for oil companies with a major stake in tar sands production in Alberta. And his fellow Reagan nominee in the Western District of Oklahoma predecessor case, David Russell, also has skin in the oil investments game.
The disclosures raise questions concerning legal objectivity, or potential lack thereof, for the Judges. They also raise questions about whether these Judges — privy to sensitive and often confidential legal details about oil companies involved in lawsuits in a Court located in the heart and soul of oil country — overstepped ethical bounds.
These findings from a DeSmog investigation precede President Barack Obama's expected imminent decision on the northern, border-crossing leg of Keystone XL.

About Hamilton
Hamilton: An American Musical has become one of the most talked about and beloved musicals in the history of Broadway. Its unprecedented concept has captured the hearts of millions and broken records that other theatre productions could only dream of. Lin-Manuel Miranda is the creative force behind Hamilton as he wrote the music, lyrics, and book for the show. Miranda credits his idea from the biography Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. Hamilton is a story about the life of Alexander Hamilton through rapping and song. What makes Hamilton unique is that Miranda casted non-white actors to play the Founding Fathers and other characters in the show to represent how America's demographic has evolved since the 18th century and also how America is a nation of immigrants. Miranda is quoted saying "Our cast looks like America looks now, and that's certainly intentional." The catchy hip-hop music also adds a twist to the typical showtunes that are often featured in a musical. Hamilton is for every audience, regardless of age, ethnicity, religion, or gender. If you want to see one of the best shows to ever be presented on Broadway, then make sure you get your Hamilton tickets from TicketNetwork today! TicketNetwork has your access to all Hamilton tickets, from productions on Broadway in New York City to the West End in London. TicketNetwork has it all!
Lin-Manuel Miranda was inspired by the biography Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. He imagined a musical that told the told the life of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. So Miranda began by writing and recording songs with a project called The Hamilton Mixtape. Miranda was invited to perform songs from his other musical, In the Heights, at the White House in the spring of 2009. Instead of performing music from In the Heights, Miranda performed the first song from The Hamilton Mixtape. From then on, he continued to work on music and script for the show. The first version of the musical was performed at Vassar College's Reading Festival in Poughkeepsie, New York in July 2013. It was a workshop production of the show that contained the entire first act and a few songs from the second act. This workshop production was directed by Thomas Kail and starred Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton. Only two other actors were casted in the Vassar Workshops as well as the Off-Broadway and Broadway productions of the musical. These two actors were Daveed Diggs (as Marquis de Lafayette / Thomas Jefferson) and Christopher Jackson (as George Washington). Due to the positive response from the Vassar Workshop, Hamilton went into official production and had its world premiere Off-Broadway at The Public Theatre in New York, New York. Previews began on January 20, 2015 and the opening night was on February 17. This production was also directed by Thomas Kail. The Off-Broadway showing was so successful that by July 2015, Hamilton began previews on Broadway at Richard Rogers Theatre. The Broadway production opened officially on August 6, 2015 and has been running ever since.
Other Productions
Hamilton began previews in Chicago at the CIBC Theatre in September 2016 and then officially opened in Chicago on October 19, 2016. Miranda attended opening night and applauded the cast for its performance. The Chicago production is produced by Jeffrey Seller who has said the show will run for two or more years. The London production, which has its residency in the Victoria Palace Theatre, premiered on December 21, 2017. This production is produced by Cameron Mackintosh. Currently in the works is a production to reside in Puerto Rico at the University of Puerto Rico's Teatro UPR in San Juan. Production is set to start in the beginning of 2019, with Miranda reprising his character of Alexander Hamilton.
Awards and Records
Hamilton's success is pretty much unprecedented on Broadway. On Labor Day week in 2015, it was the second-highest grossing show on Broadway only behind The Lion King. This was only one month after opening night. Hamilton also set a Broadway box office record when it grossed $3.3 million in a single week in the fall of 2016. This made it the first show on Broadway to gross over $3 million in a single week.
There are countless accolades and awards Hamilton has received over the years including 16 Tony nominations in 2016 alone. There are actually too awards the production has received to list them all! But some of the most notable awards are listed below for the original Broadway production:
- Tony Award for Best Musical
- Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical (Lin-Manuel Miranda)
- Tony Award for Best Original Score (Lin-Manuel Miranda)
- Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical (Leslie Odom, Jr.)
- Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Daveed Diggs)
- Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Renée Elise Goldsberry)
- Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical (Thomas Kail)
- Tony Award for Best Choreography (Andy Blankenbuehler)
- Pulitzer Prize for Drama (Lin-Manuel Miranda)
- Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album
- Billboard Music Award for Top Soundtrack/Cast Album
In addition to this extensive list of accolades, the off-Broadway production received the 2015 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical and seven other Drama Desk Awards. The West End production won seven Olivier Awards in 2018, including Best New Musical. Hamilton will be unlike any musical you have ever seen. Don't miss out on one of the most amazing musicals to ever hit the Broadway stage. Grab your Hamilton tickets from TicketNetwork today!

It seems I can't read a blog, tweet or even old-fashioned newspaper these days without coming across some headline having to do with retail health clinics buddying up to healthcare IT. Announcements from two companies come to mind.
The first involves SoloHealth – developer of health and wellness kiosks. It received FDA approval for its product earlier this summer, and followed that development up with news of financial investment from benefits company WellPoint. It also has announced plans for a national rollout of its kiosks sometime this fall. Assuming its website is up to date, there are SoloHealth Stations across the country at retailers like Walmart, Safeway, Publix, Sam's Club and Schnucks. CVS appears to be its only traditional retail clinic customer at the moment.
The second involves Greenway Medical – well-known developer of electronic health records for a variety of healthcare organizations, including Walgreen's Take Care Clinics. It currently has placed its PrimeSuite EHR in more than 700 Take Care pharmacies, and just this week announced plans to implement a custom EHR – WellHealth – to coordinate other types of care in Walgreen's locations. I'm assuming the two EHRs will play nice with other from an interoperability standpoint. Implementation of all WellHealth systems is expected to be finalized by the end of next summer.
I can't help but point out that both of these companies are based in Atlanta, and I know for a fact that their team members congregate at similar networking events, so I wonder if we'll see some synergy between them in the near future.
In any case, if predictions of retail clinic growth prove to be true – a recent Rand Report notes that use of retail health clinics quadrupled between 2007 and 2009, and will continue to grow – it seems likely that we'll see HIT companies popping up in clinics across the country.
On a completely unrelated note, my daughters and I joined the rest of my company's team members at the annual Lekotek Run 4 Kids last weekend. We had a great time and enjoyed helping out a great cause. I was a bit apprehensive that my youngest would enjoy it. Before the race began, she came up to me with number in hand and asked, "Is it okay if I lose?" Happily, she declared herself a winner after crossing the finish line and receiving a medal along with her sister and all the other kids.
I wonder if this is a sentiment physicians in smaller practices sometimes have as they consider implementing an EHR in the hopes of receiving Meaningful Use incentive money. Do some just want to throw in the towel and "lose?" Do some not want to even start the race? I'm always looking for additional Meaningful Use wisdom from the under-6 set, so please enlighten me in the comments below.

I like this, but don't see it on iTunes or Amazon.
If you had to choose three dark ambient albums (available online for purchase), which three would you choose? Which are your favorites?

I think a nice mix would be:
Kammarheit's The Starwheel
Desiderii Marginis' That Which Is Tragic And Timeless:
this gem:
Raison D'etre is my fave, but it's hard to find his earlier stuff for download...so these would be a great place to start...and all three are very different from each other.

Great. I already had The Starwheel on my wishlist from an earlier post of yours, but I'll check out the other two as well.

Name: Ravell 104
Age: 15
Breed: Gelderlander
Discipline: Combined Driving
Owner: Fritz Grupe
Groom: Donna Jones
"Ravell was better known as 'Devil Child' before I found SmartCalm Ultra. He is one intense horse, to say the least. He's a highly accomplished combined driving horse—in 2005 he was part of a world champion pair. He competes with everything he's got, but he never learned to 'turn it off ' when not competing (or even training). He was a handful, even in the barn, always tense with a wild-eyed look to him.
After my own horse had success on SmartCalm Ultra, I decided to try it for Ravell (I don't own him but I'm his groom, caretaker, trainer, pooperscooper…you name it, I do it). Within two months, he was practically a different horse! He can finally relax, he's an absolute pleasure to drive, and he has turned into one of the most playful horses in the barn. He's now one of the steadiest driving horses we have as well. I'm really impressed with how SmartCalm Ultra has truly helped him and his overall wellness—he seems so much happier with life in general now. He's still the intense competitor we need him to be, but he's such a sweetheart in the barn, we changed his nickname to 'Ravioli.'
I sent in a picture of Ravell and me before the FEI jog at a recent show. We had to wait a half an hour before it was our turn to go. He stood so patiently and was such a good boy! Two years ago, he probably would've required a chain shank to maintain some semblance of control. I think it's a fitting image for his story.
I can't thank you enough, SmartPak! As long as this horse is under my care, he'll never go a day without his SmartCalm Ultra!"

TRAVERSE CITY — Not everyone who visits this Lake Michigan resort town is content to lie on the beach all day munching cherries and sipping wine. Well, not all the time, anyway.
A growing number of tourists and meeting participants, in fact, are volunteering on community service projects during their time here. Some may spend a day cleaning up a beach or maintaining a hiking trail; others may pick up hammers or paintbrushes to rehabilitate old buildings.
Through a program called "Visit with a Purpose," vacationers and conventioneers can arrange to work on short-term volunteer projects, partnering with groups as diverse as the Great Lakes Children's Museum, the Maritime Heritage Alliance and the Alliance for the Great Lakes.
Volunteer travel, sometimes known as Voluntourism, is a growing phenomenon. According to the Travel Industry Association of America, more than 55 million Americans have participated in a volunteer vacation, and about 100 million more are considering taking one. Professional and fraternal associations often incorporate service projects into their convention agendas, as well – most visibly in New Orleans, where meeting attendees regularly pitched in to help clean up in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

They're a diverse group: college students, retirees, business people, members of religious and fraternal groups, environmentalists and families who just want to make themselves useful to their host community.
"A lot of times, they're people who've been vacationing here for years and have come to love this community," says Erin Bernhard, volunteer technology coordinator at the United Way of Northwest Michigan Volunteer Center, which manages the program. "This is their way of giving back, of doing something to help this place flourish."
As the clearinghouse for more than 200 non-profit groups in the region around Traverse City, Bernhard's agency has some experience in coordinating volunteer projects; it organizes an annual "Day of Caring" in September that places more than 300 volunteers with agencies that need their help.
But the agency now finds itself fielding an increasing number of requests from would-be volunteers from out of town – particularly during the warm summer months. The idea of creating a permanent Voluntourism program arose in late 2012 when Traverse City hosted the annual conference of the Volunteer Centers of Michigan and organized a project for the assembled delegates to work on.
"We realized that as a volunteer organization in a place where so many people are in transit, on vacation or at meetings, it just made a lot of sense to organize what we were doing," says Bernhard. "Having some kind of template in place also allows us to add a fee-based component to cover some of the costs to us and the organizations that are directly involved. Up to now, lack of funding has been the biggest barrier to putting these kinds of programs into effect."
Given Traverse City's prominence as an outdoor recreation destination, it's probably not surprising that most of the volunteer opportunities chosen by visitors so far have involved hiking trails, beaches and other environmental projects. That's partly because most visitors arrive during the summer months, said Bernhard, and partly because there seems to be more enthusiasm for outdoor work.
"Besides, we know that those organizations are always looking for workers," she added. "But we're working hard to put together a more well-rounded menu of opportunities that would be available in other seasons of the year."

Brad Van Dommelen, president of the Traverse City Convention & Visitors Bureau, said he was surprised when United Way director Steve Wade first proposed working together on the program, but found himself quickly warming to the idea. He calls Visit with a Purpose a "cool opportunity" to widen the community's appeal to visitors who want to experience closer connections to the places they visit.
"Experiential travel is growing in popularity, so why not incorporate a volunteerism experience?" he said.

Clusters of craters can resemble all kinds of everyday objects. On the surface of giant asteroid Vesta, for example, three craters positioned in a line give rise to a terrestrial formation commonly known as "Snowman". In the photo featured up top, three craters in "superposition" bear a striking resemblance to one cookie-crazed muppet. Says NASA:
Anyone else think this looks like the Cookie Monster? The superposition of younger craters on older craters (in this case two smaller craters upon the rim of an older crater) can result in landforms that appear to resemble more familiar shapes to human eyes. More generally, the Law of Superposition allows scientists to determine which surface features pre- and postdate others, leading to a better understanding of the geological history of different regions of Mercury's surface.
Good eye, NASA. Let us know when you find the Yip-Yips on Mars, will you?

With the New York Mets surprising most people around the game by playing solid baseball and using mostly young kids who are making minimum salaries, one hitter who wasn't up to the standards of Mets fans was first baseman Ike Davis.
All the frustration on the talk radio shows and in the online media was that Davis should be sent down. The biggest reason was that the Mets were competing for first place, and after Davis slumped through a 1-18 stretch (8 Ks) which lowered his slash line to .158/.234/.273/.507 OPS, fans wanted Ike sent down to the minor leagues.
New York fans usually smell blood in the water towards a player after an 0-4 game in spring training, so this Davis futility was like a True Blood movie premiere.
The talk of sending Davis down had been around for a couple of weeks, but the Mets brass insisted Davis was staying with the parent club.
Since that 1 for 18 slide, Davis has gone on an eight game hitting streak, going 11-23 with two doubles, a home run and 7 RBI. He has had big hits within this span, including the double in the final game of the series against the Yankees and last Thursday's RBI single against Tampa Bay which gave the Mets a 4-3 lead.
Hitting takes talent, but all hitters can improve if they do the correct things necessary for hitting. These include not drifting, keeping the hands "quiet," having a short/quick swing and staying balanced. What Ike was doing for the majority of the early season was exactly the opposite. He was moving to the ball, excessively hitching his hands and pressing forward with his upper body.
During his hitting streak Ike just didn't "start hitting." He changed his approach to what he was originally doing, one that gives him a greater chance for success. This proper approach makes hitters successful at every level, from the major leagues all the way down to the Little Leagues.
When the ball is about to be released by the pitcher, the hitter begins his "load" to begin his swing. You have to go back in order to go forward. This is similar to having to bend your legs and squat down before you jump up in the air. The load could be a very slight weight shift to the back leg and small movement of the hands back, or it can be just a small toe tap and slight inward turn. An example of a near perfect load is what Curtis Granderson does or what Albert Pujols does.
The hitter then takes his stride forward, gets his foot down (hands must stay back), recognizes the pitch and if he likes it, takes his swing. This process is so fast (less than a half-second), that all the movements must be in synch to make it work. If any part of the timing is off, hitting the ball hard will almost never happen.
The front leg must be solid, giving a sturdy base and the hitter's weight must be against the front leg, not on top or over the front leg.
What Ike was doing was moving his body too far forward over his front foot, with his upper body pushing forward over his front leg. When the hitter moves forward towards the ball onto the front leg, it is known as drifting.
When many hitters get into a slump, drifting to the ball is one of the main reasons.
The more a hitter stands tall and almost upright in the batter's box, the more susceptible he is to drifting. Ike used to be really tall in his stance, with no flex or bending of his knees. Now his knees are more flexed and his stance is slightly wider.
Just as important is that a hitter needs to wait on the ball and not move towards the pitch. I tell young hitters all the time to "wait for the pitch to get to you" and don't go out to hit it. The ball will eventually get to your hitting zone. Ike was going out to get the ball and was not waiting for the ball to get to him.
Moving towards the ball forces the head to move, in essence making the ball appear faster.
Ike began to wait on the ball and hit against his front leg, not on it over it. Drifting to the ball curtails a hitters power. Since the hitters weight is already forward, his legs are taken out of the swing. A hitter can't rotate his hips as much, and power is derived primarily from hip rotation and lower body force. The force won't be with you if the hitters weight is already forward.
With Ike drifting forward and not waiting on the ball, it led to a very weak swing, using mostly his arms, and not using his hands and legs. Good hitters hit with their hands, not their arms. With Ike not staying back and him having to reach for the ball (especially the ball away), Ike's hands were extended away from his body and he began to roll over the ball.
That is why so many pitches turned into harmless ground balls to the right side. Robinson Cano did the same "rolling over" early in the season, too, when he was slumping.
A hitter needs his hands tight to the body to generate more power. Think about the last time you performed dumbbell curls for your biceps. Did you have your elbows away from your body or close to your body? They were close to the body, allowing you more strength to lift more weight. A hitter who keeps his hands tight to the body (think Cano and Granderson), generally have more bat speed, use their legs more and have more power. This is the hitting process incorporated by Kevin Long.
This is a video of Granderson's home run against the Washington Nationals this past weekend. Contact is made at the four-second mark of that video on MLB.com. Pause it there. Check out how tight the hands (and back elbow) are to his body, allowing the Grandy Man (who also uses great lower body torque) to get on top of and drive a high fastball. His balance is perfect and there is no drift of the weight forward.
Ike had a pretty severe hitch in his swing, a pre-swing up and down movement with his hands, exacerbated by a circular motion. While hitches are mostly bad, all hitches aren't necessarily problematic. Barry Bonds had a hitch, but he ended up getting his hands in the power position when the ball was on its way. Granderson has some excess movement, too, but like Bonds he has his hands set when the pitch is released.
Davis rarely got his hands set before the ball arrived.
Slight hand movement is good as it helps ease tension in the upper body, but excess movement is often not good. Ike's hitch led to a timing issue where his hands were still moving when the ball was released and he wasn't able to get the bat to the ball quickly enough.
Combined with his drifting, Ike was in no position to drive the ball.
With these hitting issues, the only pitch you can hit is the pitch over the plate, as hard stuff inside "gets in your kitchen," and the result is a swinging strike or jam shot. Hitters then tend to look for only pitches over the plate and take those inside pitches.
At the beginning of his career, Ike had movement but not the severe hitch he had earlier this year. Now, while some up and down movement is still there, Ike has lessened his hitch and his hands are mostly finished moving when the ball is released. I would still rather have Davis eliminate the hitch completely (its one of the easier "faults" to fix), and like Granderson does, having only a slight movement back. This would allow his hands to be even quicker on fastballs up and on the inside part of the plate.
When Ike was drifting out forward and had his arms move out over the plate, many times his upper body bent forward at the waist, leaving Davis is an unbalanced position. Hitting coaches call this "a forward press with torso."
This forward movement, which is different from drifting, further deceased his ability to hit for power. When a hitter takes his stride, whether it be an actual movement forward of a couple of inches or a lifting of his front foot up and down (like Granderson and Pujols), the upper body must be on top of the lower body. This allows the hitter to be balanced before, during and after the swing.
Balance, in addition to not drifting, is important to help generate power with the legs.
In proper balance, think of the hitter as a building with a steeple (upper body) on top of the foundation (the legs). The midpoint is the waist. Throughout the swing, the steeple always needs to stay on top of its foundation. If it doesn't, the foundation cannot support the steeple, and the building becomes weak.
If the hitter doesn't stay balanced, the body is not strong throughout the swing.
As mentioned earlier, Ike is more flexed in his knees to help stop his drifting. Staying balanced is also easier if the knees are flexed. Ike now has a slightly wider stance with his knees flexed (like Granderson and Pujols) which helps control drift and balance, leading to better contact and more power.
See how precise hitting a baseball is? One hitting fault can create more faults, which creates havoc with the chain of events a hitter needs to have success.
I remember when I was in the last years of playing baseball ( I was 42). I found myself always drifting to the ball and getting chewed up inside and had to "cheat" with my swing to hit the good fastball. With the help of Lenny Webster, former major leaguer and hitting instructor, he helped me widen my stance, sit down more (like Pujols does), which eliminated my drift. I could then wait on the ball more, and I began to hit for more power.
Just like Ike Davis has done, I made adjustments to be a better hitter.
Good hitters really don't change anything major to their swings; they just make little adjustments along the way.
Look at Ike earlier this season against Tim Lincecum. (He is shown at the 15 and 25 second marks.) Remember this game of two Ks and the big double play? Ike was taller, drifted forward and although he was balanced, he took inside fastballs for both Ks which he couldn't handle with the excess hand movement. He was looking for pitches over the plate he could handle.
Now look at Davis last week against Tampa Bay: The adjustments are slight, but the knee flex is there, as is a slightly wider stance, improving his balance and helping eliminate the drifting.
How about this game-tying double against the Yankees? The hand movement is there, but the hands get set in time, he doesn't drift forward and his swing balance is perfect.
I am surprised the Mets hitting coach, Dave Hudgens, didn't change these faults with Davis earlier, but it is very difficult to change hitters from their lifelong habits. Especially major league hitters who have had success doing what they "have always done." Hudgens is a well-respected hitting coach. In addition, as the old saying goes, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."
The reason why Long has had success with guys like Granderson, Cano, Nick Swisher and Raul Ibanez is they were likely willing students receptive to making changes. These changes do not happen overnight.
It might be that these slight adjustments made by Davis were weeks in the making, which would be a credit to both he and Hudgens. I still would like to see Davis eliminate more hand movements and get his hands tighter to his body to generate a shorter bat path to the ball. But right now, Davis is moving in the right direction, which will help him produce more in the Mets lineup.
And keep him out of Buffalo.

Localizing a statement made by Attorney General Eric Holder, Oakland Black Foot Soldier Washington Wallace called the city's whites criminal cowards who will be held accountable for their race's unrestituted for crimes.
Wallace, formerly of Las Vegas, was recruited to Oakland to held develop the movement there by Augustus Dubois, the state's leading Soldier.
"You will not escape the responsibility of the injustices of your fathers and you will be held accountable for your continued crimes of today," speaking in the trendy Temescal neighborhood near the Walgreens where activist Maurice Shavers Jr was slain, Wallace condemned.
Some whites who allegedly watched Wallace, who with fifty Soldiers assembled to preach the "no reparations, no peace" Black Foot Soldier gospel and call for the release of BOW reparations activists, booed the assembly. They were identified as Reparations Offenders and told to turn over their possessions.
"I don't buy this effort for collective guilt not now not in any past situation, I can not and will not be held responsible for past injustices, I was not there. Only now in my life can I make the effort to treat all with the equity I want for myself," a white woman who watched the demonstration flared.
"Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers! You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?" Black Israelite and Black Foot Soldier Ezekiel Moab warned the woman after her excuse.
Soldiers again called for the release of political prisoner Columbus Allen Jr who was convicted for the 2006 killing a Racist CHP regime terrorist Earl Scott. "The hour is coming when you who falsely purport you uphold the law will be forced into the very prisons you hold our righteous in," Wallace warned. "It would do you devils good to show mercy to the Warriors of God now – before that hour."
"GET OVER IT! One white witness called out during Wallace's final statements.
"We will not get over the unrestituted atrocities of you and your kind. Each of you has already stood trial; and each of you has already been found guilty." Wallace responded.

A surprise worth whistling for
Whistle Stop Library
Send a link to a friend
[June 10, 2014]
EMDEN - When LaDonna Gass and her
family moved to Emden in 1981, she noticed that the community did
not have a library, something she valued as an avid reader. She
thought about this missing piece of her new community for several
years, until the community summer reading program ended in the
public schools. Gass knew she had to do something to help her new
community. What followed is history.
Gass found a suitable building, the old train depot that was
being used for storage, and set to work restoring the building for
its new use as Emden's first public library. The old depot had no
electricity and was filled with trash when she first began the
When the library first opened in 2007, the shelves were filled with
four boxes of donated books. Today, the library is filled with books
and magazines, and offers summer events for children every Thursday.
For her efforts, LaDonna Gass has been honored with many awards. The
mayor of Emden at the time the library project began, Ivan Rademaker,
was a backer of LaDonna's idea. Mayor Rademaker nominated Gass for
the prestigious Studs Terkel Humanities Service Award, and she was
one of only forty-four recipients in 2009 in the State of Illinois.
But all of this is well known. This story is how one person's idea
touched a community and the surprise that came about because of hard
work, vision, and dedication.
In February of 2008, a small article appeared the Pekin newspaper
announcing that Earl Gass, LaDonna's husband, had started a business
in his home of copying 8mm home movies to DVD's. The old movie film
can grow fragile over the years and disintegrate. Families want to
preserve their movie memories, so converting the movies to DVD's is
a move that will preserve them forever. An elderly resident of Pekin,
Gertrude Schrader, read the article and clipped it. She had a stack
of home movies from her life in central Illinois and thought it
would be a good idea to transfer them to DVD's. She did not act on
her plans until August of that year.
Since she no longer drove, she convinced a friend to drive her to
Emden. When they arrived in town, Gertrude, Trudy to her friends,
had no idea where Earl Gass lived. Being a resourceful person, she
stopped at the Farmer's State Bank to ask for directions. When she
inquired about Earl's address, the bank employee gave Trudy and her
friend directions to the Gass residence. Ms. Schrader was not quite
sure they could follow the directions, so the bank employee said she
would take a few minutes off and show them personally where Earl
lived. Small town America really does exist where neighbors help one
LaDonna picks up the story from here. "It was a hot August day and I
had the front door of my house open to let a breeze blow through. I
happened to look out and saw this elderly lady walking up my front
walk carrying two huge shopping bags. She marched right up the front
steps of my porch. When I asked her if I could help her, she showed
me the two bags of home movies and said she had seen the article
about Earl and wanted her movies saved on DVD's."
Recovering from her surprise, LaDonna explained that her husband was
not home, but would be happy to call her and discuss the project.
Ms. Schrader insisted on leaving her movies, telling LaDonna that
she was sure Earl could do the job. LaDonna could not dissuade her,
even suggesting that Gertrude keep the movies until Earl called, but
to no avail.
Ms. Schrader plopped the two bags on the floor and prepared to
leave. LaDonna said "Don't you want to know how much this project
will cost?" Gertrude Schrader's response was a classic. She said,
"Oh, that's ok. I'm sure he wouldn't rip off an old lady."
With that, Gertrude and her friend turned and left. To say that
LaDonna was surprised at this incident is an understatement.
When Earl got home that evening and heard the story and saw the pile
of movies, he was shocked! He had just started his movie conversion
business and had not even attempted a project of this magnitude.
The two shopping bags contained reel upon reel of movies. LaDonna
and Earl went back and forth on what to do. Earl finally decided to
tackle the job.
Converting this many old movies to DVD was not a simple matter. Some
of the ancient films broke when Earl tried to play them, then
requiring an intricate job of splicing. Earl also had to find a bulb
for his old 8mm projector. But through perseverance, a quality that
runs deep in the Gass family, the conversion got underway.
It was taking some time, longer than anticipated. One day, the
Gass family received a phone call from a woman in California who
identified herself as a relative of Gertrude Schrader, and inquiring
about how the job was going. It was coming up on October, and Earl
replied that he was almost done.
Finally, after three months of almost daily work on the Schrader
movies, the job was done. Earl and LaDonna drove the movies and
DVD's to Pekin to deliver them personally.
[to top of second column]
Gertrude was thrilled with the results. Earl had placed each
DVD in an individual jewel case with a photo he had taken from
the movies on the cover to help identify the contents. When they
played a DVD, Gertrude exclaimed how pleased she was with the
results. Earl had done a professional job and his client was
happy with it.
Still the question of a fee had not been discussed. Gertrude
stepped up and handed Earl three, twenty dollar bills.
A glance between Earl and LaDonna seemed to say, "Oh well, Mrs.
Schrader is happy. That's enough for us."
Much later, LaDonna said with a laugh, "I figured the $60
amounted to about a nickel an hour for all of Earl's work."
Just as they stepped to the door, Earl mentioned the Whistle
Stop Depot Library and suggested maybe Gertrude would consider
making a donation to it. With no response, the Gass couple was
on their way back to Emden. LaDonna was not sure it had been a
good idea to mention the library. They never heard from Gertrude
Schrader again.
Well, that's not quite accurate. In February of 2014, the phone
rang in the Gass home. It was a law firm in Morton inquiring if
LaDonna was the contact for the Whistle Stop Depot Library. The
law firm said that a client had passed away and left the Whistle
Stop a part of an estate. Without identifying the client or
amount, the law firm said they would mail the necessary
documents for LaDonna to sign.
After hanging up, the guessing game began. Who would have done
this, and how much was the bequest, probably just a small
amount, surely. Well, she would just have to wait for the mail
to bring the paperwork. It arrived a few days later, and when
LaDonna opened the envelope, she received the shock of her life.
This was truly an OMG moment. Someone LaDonna had never heard of
left the Whistle Stop $10,000. "My jaw hit the ground," she
said. There was a name and address in the documents, but LaDonna
was unfamiliar with them.
When Earl got home she showed him the information. He was
baffled also. Who was this person? Then a glimmer of a thought
came to Earl.
He went back in his records and found the same address in his
files for the elderly woman in Pekin he had done the movie-DVD
conversion for in 2008. Gertrude Schrader had heard Earl's
parting comment about the Whistle Stop donation and taken it to
After returning the legal documents to the lawyers, LaDonna's
curiosity caused her to call the law firm and ask some questions
about Gertrude Schrader. She learned that Ms. Schrader was 105
years old when she passed on in 2013. That meant that when she
walked up on LaDonna's porch carrying two shopping bags of heavy
movies, she was 99. She had been a resident of the Emden area
before moving to an apartment in Pekin, and was known as being
an able business woman even into her later years.
Schrader's will had been written in 2000, and had never been
changed except in 2008, the year Schrader added the Whistle Stop
Library to it. The call from California might have been a niece,
as Schrader never had children. She left the bulk of her estate
to organizations she supported, including one small library in a
small Logan County town.
The gift from Gertrude Schrader's estate arrived at an important
moment for the Whistle Stop. The small railroad station turned
library needs some extensive repairs to keep it going. An
exterior paint job is number one on that list. It also needs
When LaDonna found the location of Trudy Schrader's final
resting place, she drove there with a big bouquet of flowers and
said a prayer for her benefactor.
So, you never know when a kind touch for another person will
lead to a pleasant surprise down the road.

It's the time of the year! By September, the Film Academy of the Philippines will submit one movie to the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts, and Sciences (AMPAS) that will be our bid to the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 89th Academy Awards. This will be our 28th participating year and we are yet to receive a nomination.
To qualify as an eligible submission, the Academy's rule states that "The motion picture must be first released in the country submitting it no earlier than October 1, 2015, and no later than September 30, 2016, and be first publicly exhibited for at least seven consecutive days in a commercial motion picture theater for the profit of the producer and exhibitor."
Currently nine countries have already announced their submissions with our likely winner, Germany's Toni Erdmann, in the longlist already. So which film will be our best bet to advance forward? I've divided them in three different categories.
DISCLAIMER: It has to be cleared that this ISN'T the final shortlist from the Film Academy of the Philippines yet, and are just mere speculations and recommendations.
Director: Jun Lana
Screenplay: Jun Lana
Cast: LJ Reyes, Luis Alandy, Anthony Falcon
Philippine Release Date: July 20, 2016
Amidst conflict between the military and communists, three people are confronted with a difficult dilemma.
Jun Lana, no stranger from Oscar representative (he directed our 2012 submission Bwakaw), is in contention yet again for his latest effort which is a one-long two-hour take staged just like a play with only three characters interacting all throughout the movie. The film also has participated alongside many different international festivals both in Asia and Europe (though none in the Big 4 major film festivals). That said, the film is unanimously considered as one of the best from 2015 among local critics.
Director: Joel Lamangan
Screenplay: Bienvenido Santiago
Cast: Dennis Trillo, Bela Padilla, Gabby Concepcion
Philippine Release Date: October 7, 2015
Felix Ysagun Manalo is a sprawling historical epic that traces the origin of Iglesia Ni Cristo (The Church of Christ) which is established in the Philippines from its humble beginnings in 1914 through the present day.
Definitely one of the most divisive films of last year, Felix Manalo is epic in its landscape detailing one of the most important personalities among Iglesia ni Cristo's history. This almost three-hour movie boasts so much of its lavish production design and staging, that it would tick all boxes in an "baity Oscar film" checklist. But beyond the grandeur is a straightforward storytelling, and one that was considered as "weak" and "safe" by most critics. That said, never underestimate the taste of the FAP to include this in the shortlist, as they're one easily swayed by buzz regardless if those were organic or fabricated.
Director: Lav Diaz
Screenplay: Lav Diaz
Cast: John Lloyd Cruz, Piolo Pascual, Susan Africa
Philippine Release Date: March 26, 2016
In the midst of revolution, a young poet and the man that ruined his life travel through the jungle in search of safety. At the same time, a grieving widow encounters mystical beings on a mountain while searching for the body of her beloved revolutionary.
Winner of the Alfred Bauer Prize at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year (with jury president Meryl Streep awarding them), there's no doubt that this is one of the two most-buzzed films we have in world cinema for this year. Imagine if we submitted this and have Oscar winner Meryl Streep and Oscar nominee Clive Owen campaign this right? But let's not get ahead of ourselves as that's a bit of a reaching. The thing with Hele is that we have already attempted to submit a Diaz film back in 2014 via Norte which is half the running time of this one and arguably his most universal effort thus far, and yet the Academy didn't give in to it.
Director: Erik Matti
Screenplay: Erik Matti, Michiko Yamamoto
Cast: John Lloyd Cruz, Meryll Soriano, Tirso Cruz III
Philippine Release Date: December 25, 2015
A family is caught in a financial ruin after being involved in a ponzi scheme.
With an Erik Matti film in contention yet again, it reminds me of probably the biggest miss we had not submitting On the Job back in 2013. What made that more infuriating was the committee's response that they don't want to submit a film that shows a negative image of the Philippines. Yeah, right. Anyway, Matti is back again this time with the MMFF entry Honor Thy Father which made its premiere a year ago at the Toronto International Film Festival. Honor's best shot is that I can see the film appealing to the Western crowd with its theme and execution. That said, the film feels bit of an after thought by now, but with every controversy that the film has encountered, it just ended up soaring higher. Maybe, FAP atones to Erik Matti this time around?
Director: Paolo Dy, Cathy Azanza
Screenplay: Paolo Dy
Cast: Andreas Munoz, Javier Godino, Julio Perillan
Philippine Release Date: July 27, 2016
In 16th Century Spain, a soldier born of nobility gives his life of luxury to become a pilgrim devoted to God and his people.
Watch out Felix Manalo, there's another religious biography in contention. Kidding aside, I can already imagine the FAP members creaming themselves over this one. For one, the casting of a foreign star in lead role will make them think it can add extra buzz to our own entry (this isn't an Oscar rule after all. Lots of foreign actors starred in films from other countries which ended up as submissions. Case in point: French star Emmanuelle Riva in Austria's Amour, Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal in Chilean film No, and even our own Angeli Bayani in Sinagpore's Ilo-ilo). Plus, the religious theme somehow gives it more importance and a "good image" per se in representing the country (which apparently is an unwritten rule; see: On the Job again in 2013).
Director: Brillante Mendoza
Screenplay: Troy Espiritu
Cast: Jaclyn Jose, Andi Eigenmann, Julio Diaz, Felix Roco, Jomari Angeles
Philippine Release Date: July 6, 2016
A poor family scrambles to find the money to pay off the corrupt policemen that have arrested the parents for dealing drugs.
Sure it was one of the least buzzed entries at Cannes main competition this year, until the great Jaclyn Jose earned the coveted Best Actress win and the rest, as they say, is history. Ma'Rosa is currently participating now at Toronto International Film Festival and I think it has the most buzz for any Filipino film competing for this year when it comes to foreign exposure. And at this stage, after all his trips to Cannes and Berlin and Venice and TIFF, isn't Brillante Mendoza overdue for a Filipino Oscar submission? I lobbied that Taklub was our best shot last year, but they can make up for it with Ma'Rosa this year.
Director: Eduardo Roy Jr.
Screenplay: Eduardo Roy Jr.
Cast: Ronwaldo Martin, Hasmine Killip, Sue Prado, Moira Lang
Philippine Release Date: August 31, 2016
Jane and Aries are teenage parents. They make a living out of stealing on the streets… until fate hits back at them.
After sweeping major awards at the recently concluded Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival including wins for Best Picture, Best Director for Eduardo Roy Jr., and Best Actress for newcomer Hasmine Killip, this runaway favorite is getting an instant cinema release in time for the Oscar cutoff. Add the fact that it's also heading to Venice under the "Venice Days" sidebar (think of it as their answer to Cannes' Directors Fortnight section), and it's on the right track. This also has the makings to appeal to an international audience,
Don't be surprised to see any of these films in this group make it in the final shortlist.
Director: Paul Soriano
Screenplay: Froilan Medina
Cast: Enrique Gil, Ricky Davao, Christopher de Leon, Shaina Magdayao
Philippine Release Date: July 13, 2016
With Paul Soriano helming it (one of the producers of our 2013 Oscar submission "Transit"), this suspense drama about an abducted son also brags of an ensemble composed of some of the biggest names in the country both newbies and veterans.
Director: Gil Portes
Screenplay: Enrique Ramos
Cast: Aljur Abrenica, Louise delos Reyes, Enzo Pineda, Menggie Cobarrubias
Philippine Release Date: September 21, 2016
In the tradition of our love for hero films — some of which are deserved (last year's Heneral Luna), some of which are good (Supremo), and some which are just flat out terrible (El Presidente), let's say hello to Hermano Puli.
Director: Sigfreid Barros-Sanchez
Screenplay: Henrie Enaje, Henry dela Cruz, Sigfreid Barros Sanchez
Cast: Dina Bonnevie, Ejay Falcon, Joonee Gamboa, Tom Rodriguez
Philippine Release Date: June 8, 2016
Only because of its serious topical theme (with them even doing special screening this National Heroes Day), I can see this political themed film making a (not so) surprise appearance in the shortlist. Think of how Kamkam by Joel Lamangan made it to the Top 4 in 2014.
Director: Cathy Garcia-Molina
Screenplay: Henrie Enaje, Henry dela Cruz, Sigreid Barros Sanchez
Cast: Carmi Raymundo, Vanesssa Valdez, Cathy Garcia-Molina
Philippine Release Date: November 25, 2015
We have that one slot, almost always reserved to those box office hits that tackle more serious topics than the usual. Not to say that they aren't deserving since most of them actually are, but they happen to end up in the shortlist. Examples include 2008's Caregiver, or 2010's Sa'yo Lamang, maybe even last year's That Thing Called Tadhana can somewhat be considered.
Director: King Palisoc
Screenplay: Zig Marasigan
Cast: JM de Guzman, Nico Antonio, Rochelle Pangilinan
Philippine Release Date: February 17, 2016
As for starters, the producers of this film were also the producers of our previous submission Heneral Luna, so if anything, they;d sure be willing to campaign. This film got good to great reviews with solid performances from the leads, but if you compare it to other entries, it's a tad low-key (in terms of buzz and not of film quality). And if it's already low-key here, can you imagine how it would fare to the foreign market?
Director: Dan Villegas
Screenplay: Paul Sta. Ana
Cast: Jennylyn Mercado, Jericho Rosales, Lorna Tolentino
Philippine Release Date: December 25, 2015
For an MMFF film, this one got solid reviews and even swept the Gabi ng Parangal of last year. This is also from the Dan Villegas and Jennylyn Mercado team-up, which reminds us that English Only Please, was part of the short-list that year.
So these movies have appeared in different indie film festivals but haven't fulfilled the seven-day commercial distribution yet. This does not mean that these movies are bad obviously they're not because there have been buzz for some of them to be submitted. Well, they still have the whole month of September to book a screening if they plan to be considered eligible. Or they can wait for next year instead. For what it's worth, some films who made it in the shortlist the previous years aren't from the same year where they participated in festivals. As for examples, the 2008 Cinemalaya film Boses only got a commercial screening in 2012, and thus was included in the shortlist for the 2012 Oscars. Same goes for Ian Lorenos' Alagwa which gave Jericho Rosales his Urian in 2012 but was in the 2014 shortlist.
For this year, I think we can trim it down to three films which would all be decent submissions by any means. For starters, there's the John Lloyd starrer Hele sa Hiwagang Hapis with its Berlin victory, but is simply hindered by the 8-hr running time. Not that Lav Diaz needs Oscars anyway to validate his impressive work; it's just that sometimes the Academy just doesn't fit into a certain director's style. Then there's the other John Lloyd starrer Honor Thy Father, which I can see a scenario with it connecting to a foreign audience, if they're gonna push it hard and run aggressive with it. That's a big if, by the way. In the end, maybe Jaclyn Jose's Cannes win can also be Brillante Mendoza's first RP submission to the Academy. It's doing its assignment by participating in TIFF and its Cannes win, but us submitting a Mendoza film for once won't do us any harm, regardless of the end result if it gets in or not.

EngineeringUK is an independent organisation that promotes the vital contribution of engineers, engineering and technology in our society and works to encourage young people to pursue engineering careers. You can find out more about EngineeringUK's programmes, its report and recommendations on the state of UK engineering on the EngineeringUK website.
EngineeringUK 2014 (The state of engineering)
The Engineering UK report has provided the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) community, government, businesses and third sector organisations with a compelling evidence base across the STEM continuum.
There are two overriding messages from the report. Firstly, that Britain is great at engineering - its skilled engineers are world class and engineering makes a vital and valued contribution to the UK economy and can help mitigate the grand global challenges of climate change, ageing populations, and supply of food, clean water and energy. Secondly, the UK at all levels of education does not have either the current capacity or the rate of growth needed to meet the forecast demand for skilled engineers by 2020.

WE tv UNVEILS SEVEN NEW SHOWS IN DEVELOPMENT
NEW YORK, NY – December 12, 2012 – WE tv today unveiled seven original projects currently in development at the women's network for 2013/2014 series consideration. The projects underscore WE tv's commitment to spotlighting women who are bold and in charge of the world around them. The projects come to WE tv from a roster of accomplished production companies including Sony, World of Wonder, Electus and others.
Commented Lauren Gellert, WE tv's SVP of original production & development: "We're extremely excited about our current development slate featuring programs about bold, powerful women who are unapologetic for the way they live their lives. The shows we are developing explore women's secret temptations, fantasies, and their exciting and fun adventures. Our goal is to create an environment women can call their own; closing the door to the outside world and indulging in some juicy entertainment."
WE tv's current development slate includes:
Girlfriends like to dish, but are they really serving up the juiciest stories or are they too shy to kiss and tell? Bedroom Confidential is part docu-soap, part social experiment featuring five female friends who allow cameras access to every aspect of their lives, including their bedrooms.
This docu-series follows Larsa and Scottie Pippen, THE power couple in Chicago. She's a Middle Eastern princess from a wealthy family and he's one of the city's most beloved sports icons. From private jets to designer digs, diamond rings and NBA championships, the Pippens live a truly charmed life. Add in her overbearing family and his clan from Arkansas and this duo is living life Big Pippen style. Produced by Left Right Productions.
This docu-soap is the real life "Dancing with the Stars" and in this version the "stars" are real women who indulge their fantasy of being a dancer. From the private dance lessons with ballroom pros to the elaborate costumes, high heels and glitter-infused make-up, these women are putting it all out on the dance floor to turn their "what if?" dream into a reality. Produced by Sony.
Follows a group of fabulous Christian women whose faith consists of guns, god, gossip and great wine. Monday through Saturday our ensemble cast of glamorous Nashville ladies live upper class lifestyles working and playing hard. Tossing Book Club for Bible Study, these ladies get together every week and on Sunday they ask for forgiveness and cleanse their fabulous little souls. Produced by Bischoff Hervey Entertainment in association with Carrie Gerlach Cecil.
Powerlist follows successful, self-made women who refuse to choose between having an amazing career and a family. Working to have it all, these women – and their BIG personalities – have arrived, and they're intent on staying at the top. They make their own rules and fight their own battles on the quest to make sure not too many people can see them sweat. Produced by Electus.
SHOE WHORES (working title)
The relationship between women and their shoes is an age-old love affair. But what happens when a woman is asked to choose between her favorite pair and an eligible bachelor? In this dating show, when a single lady selects her favorite shoe, it comes attached to a single guy who selected the same one in the hopes of finding the lady of his dreams. Show host Ritch Erani, the designer behind CHUCKiES New York, will send each duo on a romantic date and at the end he gives the bachelorettes the choice to go out again and keep the fabulous shoes or refuse and go home barefoot and alone. Produced by Go Go Luckey.
It's the newest extreme female phenomenon… women across the U.S. are planning elaborate dream weddings including the venue, cake, music, flowers and, of course, the dress. The only thing missing is the groom. This docu-soap follows fiancé-free ladies as they plan their dream wedding while continuing to date in the hopes they'll find the right bachelor to meet them at the altar. Produced by World of Wonder.
