Portrait of Dr. Felix Rey, January, 1889
The intern who cared for Vincent van Gogh after he severed his ear. The painting was a tributary gift. While Dr. Rey was quite fond of Van Gogh, who mentioned the physician favorably and intimately in his letters, Rey did not appreciate the painting, at least not at first. His parents used it to cover a hole in a chicken coop. Nevertheless, Dr. Rey clearly appreciated the essential role art played in his patient's life, and recommended Van Gogh continue to pursue it. At this time, of course, Van Gogh's painting was for the most part unknown and/or dismissed.

Dear David,
I have an Art project in school and been asked to pick a portraiture artist and I felt Vincent Van Gogh would be interesting. I have decided to pick this particular portrait as it has a story behind it, but I may be a little perplexed at one question which is "what sort of colours have been used", please could you help me?
Thank you.

I have being wondering for long time about the "Portrait of Dr. Felix Rey" by van Gogh early 1889
Why is the upper body af Dr. Rey mirrored (flipped horizontal)…the bottons on his jacket fixed on the wrong side (men clothing always fixed on the right side)?
Did Vincent painted 3 selfportraits early in 1889 (2 with bandage on his left ear, both mirrored) and 1 more mirrored, where he just put Dr. Reys face on top of it?
I hope you can see the funny part a 50 % portrait and a 50 % selfportrait
Kind regards

District spokeswoman Jessica Cardoza said Tuesday, March 12, that extra security and police officers had been at the 3200 Jaguar Run campus since officials became aware Monday, March 11, that the rumor was circulating through Twitter.
Cardoza said the talk was likely started by graffiti found by a student Friday, March 8, in a girls restroom just before school was dismissed.
She said the student reported the vandalism — which Cardoza said appeared to be in pencil or pen — to a school administrator, who had the graffiti removed.
Because the vandalism wasn't thought to be gang related or pose a schoolwide threat, Cardoza said police were not informed about the matter Friday, though the school did begin its own investigation.
Cardoza couldn't say what the exact words were, because of an ongoing investigation, but she said the graffiti did not mention either a gun or a potential target.
"Absolutely not. … The rumor around the students is someone is going to shoot the school down, but there's no evidence we have that says anything about a gun or a shooting," she said. "None whatsoever."
The Tracy Police Department log indicates that someone at the high school reported at 8:12 a.m. Monday that a social media post indicated "there would be a shooting today at the school."
Cardoza said a parent of a Kimball High student alerted school administrators to Twitter posts Monday morning that suggested a shooting could be planned. She said the shooting rumor probably developed from a Twitter-driven discussion of the graffiti found Friday.
Kimball High Principal Cheryl Domenichelli issued a statement on the school's website Monday, and a voicemail explaining the situation was sent to parents around 3 p.m. Monday, Cardoza said.
By Tuesday, Cardoza said, the rumors had changed again, and new messages were sent by phone at 11 a.m. and posted on the website.
"The rumor this afternoon … was there was something about a teacher hit list, but we think that is just another rumor traced to a different student," she said.
Domenichelli's most recent statement said school officials and the police were "doing everything in our power to keep our campus a safe place."
"Our school has a comprehensive safety plan in place," the principal wrote, "and there is no reason students should miss school during the week."
According to Cardoza, the Tracy Police Department planned to set up a mobile command center at the school Wednesday, March 13, to reassure parents and students.
"We want to really impress upon students and staff and families that we take every single rumor seriously and it will be investigated," she said. "We want students to always feel safe at school."
Cardoza added that any student with information about a threat to other students or faculty should tell a teacher or school staff member or call the police department at 831-4550.
Students spreading rumors, however, could be suspended.
"If they are found to be spreading rumors or starting rumors, they are receiving appropriate disciplinary action," she said. "They would be charged with … disruption of the school day, which leads to suspension."

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the JBL MS-62C by Ken Nail Why install component speakers? A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound. When you're putting together a car stereo setup with external amplifiers, remember that component speaker systems designed for high-power handling will give you the best sound. JBL introduces their MS Series component speakers — designed specifically to perform their best when you're pouring on the power. Highs and lows JBL's MS-62C component speaker system sports a 6-3/4" woofer housed in a rugged cast aluminum basket that's specially vented to shed heat and run cool. The cone's fiberglass laminate construction ensures that it'll hold its shape when the music is kicking and the volume is high, so you'll enjoy tight, clean bass and accurate midrange output without missing a beat. Titanium sets the bar for crisp high-frequency response, and you can rely on the MS-62C's 1" titanium tweeter to cut through road and wind noise. The inverted dome tweeter design offers strong output and excellent dispersion — ideal for sharp stereo imaging. Adjustable crossovers for fine-tuned sound This speaker set comes with a pair of high-quality external crossover networks, featuring superior components that create a smooth transition between the woofer and tweeter. Tailor the sound to your car and taste with three levels of tweeter output and phase control. Note: JBL describes this model as a 6-1/2" speaker. Most manufacturers designate this same frame size as a 6-3/4" speaker. For simplicity's sake we list it as a 6-3/4" speaker.

Woofers Tweeters Crossovers Woofers Woofer Cones: The woofer cones are a lightweight yet rigid fiberglass laminate, minimizing distortion due to cone flex and improving the bass response. The rubber surround is resistant to ultraviolet rays, temperature extremes, and humidity to add to the speaker's reliability and longevity. Woofer Baskets: The woofers' cast-aluminum baskets are vented to dissipate heat, allowing them to play louder without the distortion caused by power compression. A woofer phase plug further reduces heat buildup by allowing air to move freely within the motor assembly for greater voice-coil cooling. Terminals: The wire terminals on the woofers are spring posts; they will accept bare wire up to 12 gauge. Tweeters Inverted-Dome Tweeters: The inverted-dome titanium tweeters are stiff, light, and extremely efficient. Mounting: The tweeters can be flush mounted or surface mounted using the included housings. The surface mount housings are angled and offer two mounting options, approximately 9° and approximately 40°.

Tweeter Output Level: Each crossover allows you to select the tweeter output level according to system requirements and personal preference. The tweeter level can be set to 0 dB (flat), -3 dB, or -6 dB. Tweeter Phase: The tweeter phase can also be easily reversed using jumpers in the crossovers.

However, I first received a set open box special, which was blown or separated or something. So I contacted customer service which they sent me out some new ones no problem. So, the new ones I got installed with a JL amp and granted it's capeable of pushing more amperage than thes can handle so I set the gain pretty low (1/4 ish) and hoped it would be fine. But a month later an here I am with another blown speaker. Since the amp is capable of 130 watts per channel I can't completely accuse JBL of not having a great speaker, but I wouldnt purchase these again. Pros: sound great Cons: not reliable 1 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Well....This speakers are powered with a DHD NTX 2008 4ch(witch is is not the cleanest amp) but....the sound from these is great .... the only problem compared with JBL GT6-69 , these need MORE POWER THAN THE JBL GT6-69!!DB's differences are noticeable. The sound is crisp and clear with some bass sound makes it perfect. GREAT JOB ...JBL!! Pros: Crisp and clear sound so far. Fits in the original speakers locations with a little inventive work. Cons: Need nice power amp to be heard 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Unbelievable CRISP sound!! Written By Grock7666, New Jersey on Friday, September 21, 2012 I've been a sound enthusiast all my life and believe in using a high end component speaker in every vehicle because let's face it..there's not to many cars that REALLY come with a decent sound system even in this day and age. I've used Boston Acoustic, Hertz Audio, JL Audio....etc but nothing has come close to the sound that these speakers provide at high volume. Not even a little distortion at 100watts. What's funny is I do actually listen to music at very high volume and usually after a while the high's start giving me a headache, the mids and highs are so perfect the sound just flows right through them providing crystal clear sounds for everyone OUTSIDE of the truck to hear as well. LOL These are a great choice if you're listening to any type of music and can pretty much handle anything you throw at them. Pros: Crisp clear mids and highs with a little bit of a tight bump from the 6 1/2 woofer. Can handle more power than I expected, fit perfectly and look great inside the vehicle.

North Kinsman
Mt. Kinsman Trail --> Kinsman Ridge Trail
Distance: 8.6 mi.
Elevation Gain: 3,248 ft. (Overall) 3,626 ft. (Total)
Time: 4:02 (North Kinsman) 4:24 (Turn Around) 4:54 (North Kinsman) 6:22 (Bald Peak) 7:25 (Total)
Being as this trip report is about a week late, I'll make it a bit shorter than normal. Recent warm weather will have changed some things I am sure anyways.
It had been a while since I had hiked the Kinsmans (#4 & 5 of my first round of the 48) and I wanted to get back. I decided on a hike up from the western side since I did the eastern side before. Since the Mt. Kinsman trailhead doesn't seem to get plowed out much if at all (from other reports/sources), I figured I should do this early in the winter before too much snow might accumulate in the parking lot. I drove my truck instead of my car not knowing what to expect. The lot hadn't been plowed, but was passible to 4WD and AWD vehicles with no problem.
The trail is quite easy to start with a long warm up before any real climbs. Even these to start weren't bad. Bald Peak seems to be a very popular spot and most of the traffic stops there. The trail was barebootable until there. After that it was a snowshoe path and it was best if you had them to hike. A recent couple inches of snow were on the trail the entire length and added to the snow on the trees. Including the braches to duck under and lean around.
An easy start
After Bald Peak the trail still isn't overly steep, but does have some nice pitches in it. All the rocks were covered so it was plenty smooth for me. Getting closer to the Kinsman Ridge Trail, the wind was causing snow to drift and at time it was 10 inches deep in the trail. In one spot, you couldn't make out the old tracks, but the trail was easy to follow still. Near the ridge, the snow was occasionally hard under foot and easy walking. I broke trail all the way up the Mt. Kinsman Trail only to have someone catch me about 5 minutes after reaching the ridge and taking a break. I wish timing had been different since breaking trail had been part of what tired me out some today.
Snow drifting into the trail
Kinsman Ridge Trail
Kinsman Ridge Trail was packed well even though not many had been over it yet this morning. It was windy today along the ridge and that made it a bit slower going. I cruised over the summit of North Kinsman planning to spend more time here on the way back and headed towards South Kinsman. I took it slow on the steep parts coming down from North Kinsman so as not to end up sliding down the trail. I headed through the saddle and things were going fine. As soon as I started to climb South Kinsman though, my legs cramped up pretty bad. It took a minute to get them to loosen up. While it isn't far to the summit from here, I was starting to debatge if it was worth it. I was a bit behind schedule for the day with bad traffic on the way to the trailhead. I figured I could push through this, but it would slow me down even more. I made the smart decision and decided to take a break and have some more to drink. Then I turned around and headed back to North Kinsman. One uphill was better than two. Besides, South Kinsman summit was just into the clouds anyways (that's what I kept saying to feel better).
I was going up North Kinsman just fine until the last step up before the viewpoint where the cramps briefly came back. I pushed on and stopped at the overlook to enjoy the views. The clouds were expected to clear up this afternoon, but it wasn't happening very quickly. It was still cloudy, but you could see quite a bit. It was interesting almost being eye level with the bottom of the cloud deck.
Coming back up North Kinsman
Looking out just under the clouds
Once I started to get chilled from the wind, I headed on my way down. Things went fine with another set of snowshoes having packed the trail down. Some snow had already started to drift back into the tracks though. I made the side trek to Bald Peak as planned and enjoyed the views. Things were clearing well to the west. This would be a nice spot to get some views without lots of effort. I see why this is the most popular spot on this trail.
coming down Kinsman Ridge Trail
Bald Peak
I know that the reason my legs cramped was that I wasn't drinking enough. I didn't have enough to drink the day before and certainly not enough on the drive up. This started me out less than ideal from the beginning. Hiking when it is too cold to use my water bladder, I don't drink as often as it isn't as easy. I have a couple ideas to try to change that already. I really wish I could have bagged South Kinsman again, but in the end I am fine with doing the smarter thing. Both times trying these peaks, I have learned a lesson. I wonder what I will learn here next time? Even with all this, it was still a good hike and the winter wonderland that you hike through was beautiful to look at.

Vintage Diamond & Sapphire Filigree Ring
Shades of Art Deco and the sparkling combination of white on white diamonds and blue sapphires make for a most terrific 20th century ring. White gold of 18k has been spun into a delectable filigree mount to showcase a brilliant cut diamond of about .20 carats (color G-H; VS1-SI1 clarity) as a center point within an eight sided setting.
The main diamond is accented with prongs offset from the typical cardinal points to create a more emphatic display of the brilliant cut. Set along the sides are two faceted synthetic sapphires in a striking triangle form amidst the pierced and open gold work of the lacy filigree. Synthetics were all the rage in the early 20th century and often accent stones during the period were favored in this "new" material.
Measurements: 5/16 of an inch (1.8 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 3/16 of an inch (0.5 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 1.8 grams (1.2 dwt).
Ring Size: US 5-1/4 (UK K; Int. Dia. 16; Euro 50.5 mm; Japan just over 9) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: "WM"; "18k"
Condition: Excellent; a minute chip to one facet of sapphire; very point chipped; all only visible with magnification.
Date & Origin: Mid to later 20th century and is American in origin.
Note: Diamond has not been removed from mount to preserve the integrity of the setting. Diamond weight has been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weight. Grading has been done in situ and also may vary if stone is removed.

Steve Morabito rode to his second consecutive fourth-place finish Thursday at the Giro del Trentino to climb into fourth place overall with one stage remaining.
One Second From Third
Morabito said he tried to win the stage that finished with a steep climb. "But I chose the wrong wheel by starting the sprint in fifth position behind Domenico Pozzovivo," he said. "He opened a gap and I was not strong enough to close it and pass (third place finisher) Michele Scarponi." Fabio Andres Duarte Arevalo (Geox-TMC) won the stage. Morabito is one second out of third and 34 seconds behind overall leader Scarponi. "Our objective tomorrow will be for Steve to get top three on the stage and earn a time bonus that can move him up on the GC," BMC Racing Team Assistant Sport Director Fabio Baldato said.

Our Kieki are at Risk as County Denies Permit to Teach Swimming Lessons!
Good Evening Swimming Ohana, We wanted to give you an update to the status of our permit request. As you know Maui County Parks & Recreation Director, Glenn Correa, and aquatics recreation supervisor, Duke Sevilla, have continually denied every one of our permit requests for the last 5 months. We have had multiple meetings which led nowhere. We have sent them multiple requests (via email, fax, and telephone calls) to resolve this situation, yet they refuse to correspond with us. We requested a Type III Non-Profit permit and were denied based on the fact that we charge registration fees which are used to pay instructors for teaching the classes. (Although this is legal and we are within the scope of the regulation, and we only charge fees to off-set the cost of running the program). Their second reason was because we charge a register fee, which generates revenues (again, within the scope of the regulation, as long as it is used to off-set the cost of running the p

Much as I love Thai food, and I really do love it, perhaps a more accurate title for this article would have been "20 Favourite recipes from Thailand and a few other random places".

Quick impressions from the Lab Comment by Zak Billmeier Staff Writer - Creative, Every smartphone user needs this Written by Zak Billmeier, Staff Writer - Creative, on 2/18/2013 9:26:00 AM OK, I'll admit that when I picked up one of these it was a bit of an impulse buy. I had just downloaded a stop-motion animation app and was planning to remake Clash of the Titans using my daughter's dollhouse toys. However, a few months later, it has become an essential smartphone accessory. Its most obvious use is perhaps for shooting photos and videos, and while I have done some of that, I ended up using it for the following things so much more: as a stand for viewing recipes on my phone while cooking; on my exercise machine so I can watch TV shows while exercising; as a mount in my car (I can scrunch it up to fit a cupholder); as a stand for using with Facetime; And if that's not enough, you can remove the pincers that grip your phone and mount a small digital camera or camcorder to it. You can fold it into almost any shape and stuff it into a bag or pocket. I just love this little thing!

Does a great job holding my iPhone 5 while using it for my alarm clock. Only caveat is watch where you position the phone. The grip is strong enough that if you position the phone so that the "gripper" is on the "-" volume button, it will turn the volume all the way off.

The Rose Garden first opened on 18 June 1984. Prince Rainier III wanted to create a place in memory of his wife Princess Grace.
More than 30 years later, the new Rose Garden that has just opened is much larger, with a surface area of 5,000 m2. It retains the charm of the previous garden and has 8,000 rose bushes in 300 different varieties.
Visitors can discover roses such as the rose of the Grimaldi Royal Family and roses named after Princes and Princesses and celebrities. Modern equipment has been installed in the rose garden, including an interactive terminal and QR codes on each rose variety.
The Rose Garden will be maintained in an eco-friendly way, which could result in the garden being awarded the "Ecological Garden" label.
It is open 24 hours a day.

Dr. Rajiv Shah serves as the 16th Administrator of USAID and leads the efforts of more than 9,600 professionals in 80 missions around the world.
Since being sworn in on Dec. 31, 2009, Shah managed the U.S. Government's response to the devastating 2010 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti; co-chaired the State Department's first review of American diplomacy and development operations; and now spearheads President Barack Obama's landmark Feed the Future food security initiative. He is also leading "USAID Forward," an extensive set of reforms to USAID's business model focusing on seven key areas, including procurement, science & technology, and monitoring & evaluation.
Before becoming USAID's Administrator, Shah served as undersecretary for research, education and economics, and as chief scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At USDA, he launched the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, which significantly elevated the status and funding of agricultural research.
Prior to joining the Obama administration, Shah served for seven years with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, including as director of agricultural development in the Global Development Program, and as director of strategic opportunities.
Originally from Detroit, Shah earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and his master's in health economics from the Wharton School of Business. He attended the London School of Economics and is a graduate of the University of Michigan.
Shah is married to Shivam Mallick Shah and is the father of three children. He lives in Washington, D.C.
For the vast majority of human history, mankind has been stuck in a trap.
Every time the world economy expanded or technology would progress, populations would increase. Besides an extremely small number of royals and elites, on average, people didn't become wealthier. Economic growth and development as we understand it today simply didn't exist.
I came here to share a very brief message, and it's just, "thank you". The work that you do around the world really does represent the very best of American values. You know that -- and of course, so many people here in the community where you reside appreciate that -- but I just wanted to let you know that this Administration appreciates that. Certainly USAID as a partner agency is deeply proud of the longstanding and ever expanding partnership that we have with World Vision.
Thank you. I am honored to be here with so many distinguished guests, friends and colleagues for the release of the World Health Organization's (WHO's) 2011 Global Tuberculosis Control Report. I want to recognize Dr Mario Raviglione, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Harold Jaffe, and Ms. Deborah von Zinkernagel.
I appreciate this opportunity to deliver remarks at this important conference concerned with water and health and the related intersection between science and policy.
Recently, USAID Administrator Dr. Rajiv Shah delivered an address at the TED annual conference where he noted that "… scientific and technological breakthroughs do more than address specific technical challenges; they inspire collective action by turning impossible challenges into solvable problems."
I'm honored to participate in this panel. I have been a great admirer of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and the CBC Foundation since its creation in 1976. 1976 was first time I went to live in Africa, and the CBC has been my partner throughout my whole experience on the continent. In many ways, the CBC has been the eyes, the ears and the conscience of the American people with respect to that continent.
On behalf of the Agency for International Development, I appreciate this opportunity to provide an overview of USAID's efforts to provide women and girls with water security.
In my presentation, I would like to briefly;
Thank you for inviting me to discuss Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene programming (WASH) underway at the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
I Challenges:
USAID seeks to save and improve the lives of those threatened by unsafe water and sanitation related diseases. The motivations for our efforts are very compelling:
I would like to thank the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, its Center for Environment and National Security and its Director, Ambassador Reno Harnish, for inviting me to participate in this important symposium on "water, climate and finance".
I plan to cover two overarching areas:
Thank you and good morning, and welcome to USAID for world literacy day. I would like to thank Richard and the entire education team here at USAID for your great leadership and commitment to children around the world. We have a special thank you for representative Lowey that I will save for the conclusion of my remarks because we have with us with today, Washington, probably this country's top single advocate for education around the world, and we're honored to have you with us.

The PanBlast™ SideWinder Angle Nozzles are designed for blasting areas that would normally be inaccessible with conventional blast nozzles.
The outlet(s) of the PanBlast™ SideWinder nozzles are located on the side of the nozzle, rather than the end, at an angle of 45°. This permits blasting in areas such as pipe internals, behind ledges and the flanges of beams and inside cavities.
The SideWinder Angle Blast Nozzles are available in various sizes and configurations, including 1 or 3 outlets and with nozzle diameters #4 (1/4" or 6 mm), #5 (5/16" or 8 mm) and #6 (3/8" or 10 mm). This allows the operator to select a SideWinder nozzle to suit almost any application and compressed air supply.
The SideWinder nozzle insert is constructed from long wearing tungsten carbide, mounted inside a tough aluminium outer jacket.
All PanBlast™ SideWinder Angle Blast Nozzles are available in both 50mm (2") contractor style thread and 1 1/4" NPSM threads.

College Baseball: Catawba's Nick Lomascolo
SALISBURY — Nick Lomascolo grins and explains the secret to his success is three simple words — breathe, smile and throw.
Breathing, smiling and throwing is getting it done. According to the record book, the southpaw is as good as any pitcher who's ever worn a Catawba uniform.
If you like stats, Lomascolo has stats. A four-year staple in coach Jim Gantt's rotation, he won his 31st game for the Indians on Friday with seven shutout innings against Brevard. That cold-weather win tied him with Tim Smith (2005-08) for the school's all-time record.
"I never realized I was close to a record until someone mentioned it," Lomascolo said. "I really don't like to think about records. I don't want to jinx myself. I don't want it to take me five starts to get that next win."
It likely will take him only one. He'll take the baseball next Friday when SAC rival Lenoir-Rhyne visits Newman Park. At the very least, he'll give the Indians a chance to win.
Lomascolo has put up seasonal marks of 7-3, 9-3 and 10-5 and is 5-1 this season, so his escalating wins total isn't a shock.
But what may surprise you is he's also approaching Catawba's all-time mark for career strikeouts. He's pushed past Heath Bost, Bob Hampton and Zach Snyder this season, and the only two names on the all-time list above him now are 1960s hummer Jerry Maye and 1980s fireballer Brian Boltz. Maye had 318 in four years. Boltz had 312 in three seasons. Lomascolo has 302.
Maye blew away 18 hitters in a game once, while Boltz fanned 17. Lomascolo has built his strikeout numbers through durability and consistency rather than huge games, but he owns a lot of Ks for someone who isn't supposed to be a blazer.
"My velocity has gone up a lot at Catawba, and I can work off my fastball now," Lomascolo said. "I've also gotten smarter as I've gotten older. I know what to throw to a hitter and when to throw it."
Everyone, Lomascolo included, agrees the changeup is his best pitch, but don't get the idea he's a soft-tosser. The changeup was Pedro Martinez's best pitch, and it's always been Johan Santana's best offering.
Actually, Lomascolo brings more than respectable heat. Catawba's weight program has built him up to 6 feet, 190 pounds, and his fastball usually hums in the upper 80s. Then his changeup cruises to the plate looking identical to that fastball, only it's coming 10 mph slower — and a hitter's timing is disrupted.
"It's not like he throws a lot of changeups, but he has an outstanding one," Gannt said. "That changeup is always something he's got in his back pocket."
While there are big-league hurlers still trying to master the nuances of the pitch, Lomascolo has been a Jedi Knight in the art of the changeup since he was 13.
"I owe that to an umpire," he said with a laugh. "I pitched a game when I was a kid and the umpire told my dad (Tom) that I was good, but I could be great if I had a changeup. The next day we started working on a changeup."
It was at about this time that Lomascolo was pitching in a tournament in Cooperstown, N.Y., and a coach told him to relax and have fun — to breathe, smile and throw.
Lomascolo has carried that philosophy forward. He is the ultimate poker-faced pitcher. Watching Lomascolo pitch, you can't tell if he's in an intrasquad game or the World Series. You can't tell if it's the first inning or the ninth. You can't tell if he's down 1-0 or up 10-0. His expression never alters. It's just breathe, smile and throw.
Catawba was fortunate to recruit Lomascolo, especially after he led Lake Norman High to the 3A state championship in 2009. There were Division I offers, but Lomascolo knew Gantt. They had been in opposite dugouts for summer scraps when Lomascolo's Mooresville American Legion team played against Gantt's Rowan County squad.
"He seemed like the right coach, and when I visited Catawba it was close to home and it seemed like the right place," Lomascolo said. "Catawba had gone to the regional that year, and Coach Gantt told me they'd been one pitcher short of winning it. I wanted to be that pitcher."
It's worked out for everyone. Lomascolo was in the rotation as a freshman. He was SAC Pitcher of the Year as a sophomore. As a junior, he was brilliant in the World Series, and his 18 starts made him the No. 1 workhorse in all of D-II. This season, he's been sharp, even with new backstops Danny Parisi and Jon Wallace replacing Greg Lawson as the targets for his fastballs and changeups.
Whether breathe, smile and throw will work at the play-for-pay level remains to be seen, but Gantt believes Lomascolo will get a pro opportunity.
"He's left-handed, he knows how to pitch, he's competitive, and you just can't rattle him," Gantt said. "They're crazy if they don't give him a chance."

Candidate Brinkley ready to roll up sleeves on Granite Quarry board
GRANITE QUARRY — Michael Brinkley says the town of Granite Quarry faces some pressing growth and revenue issues, "and we need a board that's really going to work."
Brinkley, 61, seeks one of two seats up for election this November on the Granite Quarry Board of Aldermen. Head of W.F. Brinkley & Son Construction Co. Inc., he served on the board from 1991-2001.
Brinkley has regularly attended town board meetings the past two years and was an unsuccessful candidate for aldermen in 2011.
Brinkley said himself, his brother and their cousins are among the town's biggest property owners, "so I'm certainly not interested in raising taxes." But he predicts legislative changes in state revenue streams to municipalities will pose "serious consequences" for the town over the next few years.
And he criticizes the board for using $100,000 and $125,000 in reserve funds over the past two fiscal years to reach balanced budgets.
Brinkley proposes working with Salisbury on industrial growth and water-sewer extensions, and he supports the current efforts at downtown revitalization and attracting new business.
"Our biggest problem is retail," Brinkley says. He adds he doesn't buy into the argument that Granite Quarry is too close to Salisbury to attract retail businesses and says it's just as easy to drive to Granite Quarry as it is to Salisbury.
The town has first-class fire and police departments, Brinkley says. But he questions how much the incumbents on the board have done in the past eight years other than spend $436,000 toward the building of another park.
"I'm not really happy with the situation as far as the incumbents," Brinkley says.
Eloise Peeler and Brad Kluttz hold the seats up for election this year.
Brinkley is a 1970 graduate of East Rowan High, and he also attended Gaston College. He retired from the Granite Quarry Fire Department after serving as a volunteer for 25 years. He belongs to Shiloh United Methodist Church and the Granite Quarry Civitan Club.
Brinkley has two sons.
Granite Quarry's November ballot includes Brinkley, Peeler, Jake Fisher Jr., Wes Rhinier and Arin Wilhelm. Kluttz won't be on the ballot but is waging a write-in campaign.
