MLB Scout School: Day 1
"She knew a ball player when she saw one"
-Phillies owner Bob Carpenter on the hiring of Edith Houghton, the first female MLB scout
After throwing batting practice to the Cleveland Indians, a reporter asked me: "what's next?" I smiled and shared, "I have dreams, I haven't even dreamt yet."
I am now blogging from Phoenix, Arizona where I am participating in the MLB Scout Development Program. The school is from September 25-October 7. The Cleveland Indians sponsored me. And another dream has come true.
Today, was the first day. We had a 3 hour meeting filled with basic information of what to expect. Then we had staff and participant introductions. We were suppose to mention whether we had played pro ball. So when, it was my turn, I stood up, with my stomach in nervous knots, I gave my name and mentioned that I had not played pro ball. I heard laughter. I continued, "but I did coach half a season with the Brockton Rox of the Can Am league and 3 years of college D3 baseball as an assistant…" The laughter stopped and I sat down. Then Frank Marcos, the scouting bureau director, yells out, "Didn't you also throw BP?"
According to the MLSB handbook. The purpose of a scout is to find players, evaluate players, and sign players. The number one listed quality of a scout: passion. I am so thrilled to be learning about how to scout players; to see another side of baseball; and to become a better person. So far, the vibe at the school is that instructors want us to learn and that it is ok to make mistakes. I feel relieved. And ready to learn.
As I go through this week and live out another remarkable dream, I will remember the dreams of Christina-Taylor Green. One of her dreams was to play major league baseball. Her dream ended when she was killed in the Tucson shooting last February; she was 9 years old. When I threw BP, I wore a memorial patch on my jersey sleeve in tribute to her. At scout school, I will wear the purple bracelet that her mother gave me. One side reads, "Christina-taylorgreen.org" and the other side has one simple word: "hope." It is my hope that girls will grow up knowing that they too can become scouts, that dreams come true, and that baseball really is a game for all.

Re-booting ANIMATION BACKGROUNDS today, we have some terrific backgrounds from Disney's PETER PAN.
The Lost Boys must be nearby! ;)
You never saw today's first B/G like this in the movie. The shot included a pan.
Here's a first view of the entire, digitally restored piece!
A double escape hatch for the Lost Boys!
This huge vertical pan is quite lovely. Note lower cel overlays - leaves and slab -
at bottom, and the Mary Blair presence upper left!
Tinkerbell wanted to stay... and you know just how stubborn she can be!
TWO epic pan backgrounds - as the Lost Boys run to shoot Wendy out of the sky! (Naughty Tink!)
Sometimes I can't completely clear the backgrounds digitally.
If characters don't move to reveal a part of the background...
then they stay!
Hence the presence of Lost Boys on the left.
Note the gorgeous Mary Blair styling!

Burner 2.0
Pros: Forgiving
Cons: none
Bought these after having the same cheap no-name irons for over 10 years. Went into Golf Galaxy to try them out along with some other sets. This set, hands down, was the most amazing set I tried. I even tried the Ping i20 and Taylormade RBZ as a comparison and these were hands down the most comfortable (and affordable).
Hitting these gave the feeling of a hot knife through butter. Great feel and I love the look.

ICBA Statement on Proposed Data Security Legislation
Washington, D.C. (March 29, 2006)—The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) issued the following statement on the Data Accountability and Trust Act, H.R. 4127, marked up by the House Energy and Commerce Committee today:
ICBA is encouraged by the House Energy and Commerce Committee's efforts to protect consumers' personally identifiable information. We are concerned, however, that H.R. 4127 creates a new layer of duplicative regulatory burden by making the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) a super-regulator for data security. Current rules under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) ensure banks create a secure environment for customer data, while maintaining their ability to service customers. Community banks are strong guardians of the security and confidentiality of their customers' information. Safeguarding that information is essential to maintaining the trust of community bank customers.
ICBA also commends Rep. Vito Fossella (R-N.Y.) for introducing an ICBA-backed measure that supports efforts by banks, including community banks, to safeguard personal consumer information while eliminating duplicative regulations. Rep. Fossella's amendment would keep the existing bank regulatory framework in place.

Gustavo Dudamel & Vienna Philharmonic
The finale for this year's Lucerne Festival in Summer couldn't be more colourful. Gustavo Dudamel and the Vienna Philharmonic will frame their concluding concert with the sound of drums. Rossini's fizzy Overture to "The Thieving Magpie" begins with a snare drum solo, while Ravel's famous "Boléro" is based on a metrical pattern played unrelentingly by this instrument, which builds into a flagrantly erotic wave of energy.

The purposes of the Oregon Statewide Assessment Program are (1) to provide information on individual student achievement on performance standards set by the State Board of Education for the Certificate of Initial Mastery and the benchmark grades leading to it; (2) to provide information for policy decisions by the legislature, the governor, the State Board of Education, and local school districts; (3) to support instructional program improvement efforts; and (4) to inform the public about student achievement in Oregon schools.The Oregon Statewide Assessment is different from national, norm-referenced tests used in many districts and states. The Oregon Statewide Assessment is a criterion-referenced assessment based on the Oregon Content Standards. As a result, the types of scores produced from the Oregon Statewide Assessment are somewhat different from those produced by national, norm-referenced tests.For reading/literature and mathematics, scores produced from the Oregon Statewide Assessment are based on an achievement scale widely used in the Northwest. The scale, with numbers ranging from about 150 to 300, is similar to other scales such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scale or other "growth" scales. Each point on the scale is at an equal distance from the previous point on the scale, so changes up or down can be charted and viewed as comparable from year to year.The major advantage of the assessment scale is its connection to the Oregon Content and Performance Standards. The recently adopted Performance Standards for the Certificate of Initial Mastery were set by panels of teachers, curriculum specialists and community members who reviewed test items anchored to the achievement scale and determined the score a student would have to receive as evidence of having met challenging academic standards. Assessment scores are reported in specific skill areas, enabling educators to identify aspects of the curriculum needing improvement.Writing and mathematics problem solving rely on a model, which trains expert "judges," typically classroom teachers, to match student work to criteria for performance on a predetermined scale. In 2001 nearly 2,000 raters at 18 regional scoring sites met to read and score the 280,000 student papers submitted in writing and mathematics problem solving assessments. Writing is analyzed by two different raters on six elements or traits of good writing, and each trait is rated on a scale of 1 - 6 (low to high). Raters of mathematics problem solving assessments look at four elements or dimensions of good problem solving. Each dimension is rated on a scale of 1 - 6; in addition, the work is analyzed for the correctness of the solution.Source: Background on the Oregon Statewide Assessment Program, Oregon Dept of Education

World's oldest man passes away in Montana at 114 years
He lived by some simple wisdom that he credits for his longenvity...
— Embrace change, even when the change slaps you in the face. ("Every change is good.")
— Eat two meals a day ("That's all you need.")
— Work as long as you can ("That money's going to come in handy.")
— Help others ("The more you do for others, the better shape you're in.")
World's oldest man dies in Montana at 114
By Matt Volz
April 14, 2011
GREAT FALLS, Mont. — Walter Breuning's earliest memories stretched back 111 years, before home entertainment came with a twist of the radio dial. They were of his grandfather's tales of killing Southerners in the Civil War.
Breuning was 3 and horrified: "I thought that was a hell of a thing to say."
Re: World's oldest man passes away in Montana at 114 years
When the oldest man in the world passes away, another is right behind him to take his place.
At 114 years old, Jirouemon Kimura of Japan gives sage advice.
Don't worry and be thankful.
Japan has 44,449 of its citizens who are 100 years old or older as of 2010.
Re: World's oldest man passes away in Montana at 114 years
Thanks for sharing that.
The advice I'll have to pass on is two meals a day. At 125 lbs., it's not an option for me.
All change is good? Man, I'd like to hear how that works.
These days, I'd be happy reaching half of one of these guys' age.
Thanks again- good stuff.

Think 100 years old is old? Well, it is, but it's not too old to get married!
On 100th birthday, he married the woman of his dreams
California couple adapting to sudden – and intense – media spotlight
By Laura T. Coffey
How does it feel to become an Internet sensation and international phenom when you're 90 years old?
How about when you're 100 years old?
Answer: Exhilarating — and exhausting.
Just ask Rose Pollard Lunsway, 90, and Forrest Lunsway, 100. The California couple of nearly 30 years have been making headlines because they just got around to tying the knot — on Forrest's 100th birthday. Media outlets call the pair every day, and congratulatory notes have been pouring in from all over the world. Even President Barack Obama sent one, along with a birthday card for the groom.
Re: World's oldest man passes away in Montana at 114 years
Seems like 114 is the magic number for the oldest humans on Earth.
This charming lady in Brazil currently holds the record.
Brazilian takes crown as world's oldest person
The 114-year-old attributes longevity to eating a daily roll of bread and fruit for breakfast
A 114-year-old Brazilian woman is the world's oldest living human, Guinness World Records said Wednesday.
Maria Gomes Valentim attributes her longevity to eating a daily roll of bread for breakfast along with fruit — though she indulges in the occasional nip of wine.
Guinness said that Valentim, aged 114 years and 313 days, is 48 days older than the person previously considered the world's oldest human, Besse Cooper from Monroe, Georgia.
Cooper now holds the title of the oldest living North American.
Guinness verified that Valentim was born on July 9, 1896, in Carangola in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais, where she has always lived.
Re: World's oldest man passes away in Montana at 114 years
Here's a lady who's confirmed as the world's oldest living woman. Besse Cooper was born in Tennessee in 1896. She's 116 years old as of yesterday August 26. Married in 1924, she had four children with her husband, and now has 12 grandchildren and more than a dozen great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.

Clergy & Religious Organizations: Background
This "industry" includes clergy members and individuals associated with religious organizations and charities. All contributions from this industry come from individuals. When an organization is listed as a contributor, the donors referred to are the employees of that organization, not the organization itself.
Individuals associated with religious associations and the clergy contributed more than $3.1 million to federal candidates during the 2008 campaign. Despite stereotypes that people of faith are often conservative and frequently Republicans, 58 percent of these contributions actually went to Democrats. During the last two decades, contributions have actually been evenly split between the two major parties.
What makes this group different, however, is the number of organizations that give exclusively to one party. Seven of the top 10 contributors in 2008 directed all of their donations to one party or the other -- three to Democrats and four to Republicans.
The top contributor for the 2008 cycle was Temple Beth Shalom. Individuals associated with the organization contributed $101,850 to federal candidates, with 93 percent going to Republicans. The second largest contributor, Jewish Theological Seminary, contributed $51,300 to federal candidates, all Democrats.
Additionally, individuals associated with the well-known Christian Broadcasting Network founded by Pat Robertson contributed $22,700 to federal candidates -- all of them Republicans -- during the 2008 cycle.
The top recipient of contributions in 2008? Then-presidential candidate Barack Obama. He received close to $1 million, while his opponent John McCain only received about $160,000. McCain's primary challenger, Mike Huckabee -- a favorite among evangelicals -- received $175,000 during the presidential primaries.
On the federal lobbying front, the industry spent $2.2 million in 2009, down from a record $3.7 million in 2007. The top spender on lobbying was the Friends Committee on National Legislation, a Quaker-affiliated group, which spent almost $1.2 million in 2009, far more than any other group. The group advocated on behalf of a number of issues ranging from the expansion of children's health care to opposing the use of cluster bombs.
Contributions from religious groups and the clergy have increased dramatically since 2002. For the 2002 cycle, contributions totaled $783,000. Just two years later, in 2004, contributions totaled more than $2 million. That year, divisive social issues of interest to many religious groups, such as gay marriage and partial-birth abortion, also received heightened national attention.
For example, the Ave Maria Foundation -- a Catholic organization founded by former Domino's Pizza owner Tom Monaghan - nearly tripled its contributions from $19,500 in 2002 to $57,842 in 2004. That year they were the top contributor. For both cycles, Republicans received all contributions.

What would you have implemented in your high school if you were the leader of the Student Government Organization?
Please be practical. I am looking for ideas to propose to the administration at my school and I have to get them to approve it for it to actually happen. I want to do something that's not only fun, but also meaningful, life-changing, inspiring, etc.
Luke Hobbs
Nov 27 2012: There's a school my nephews in Scotland go to which uses the first years to work out a persons strengths and weaknesses and then encourages them to work on their strength to get specialized skills. Its worked very well and there is also very little bullying etc in that school. I like that.Nov 27 2012: Louis, There are thousands of good opportunities available through the disaster Sandy left behind in your area. I am sure that some of your classmates are going through tough times and they and their families would really aoppreciate some help.
- +2
There are other things that your class could start as a legacy.
Have qualified persons give life saving techniques such as CPR to all the classes so that Brooklyn, NY would be the best place in the world to get immediate attention if you were to have heart trouble there.
Start a senior tutoring club ... get a teacher to sponsor a lunch time club to help in all subjects.
Organize a lunchtime Toastmasters club.
Develop a school chapter of big brothers / sisters.
Organize a student choir that travels to old folks homes, hospitals, malls, to spred the joy of music.
Host a fund raiser that would annually provide a donation to the class funds / charities / ect ...
Do a Christmas angel tree. Have classmates nominate families for special angel help for a better holiday.
Develop a first responder team for emergencies at your school under the supervision of the school nurse, maintenance supervisor, and security personnel.
Most of these involve the school and the community and could be continued to the mutual benefit of everyone.
Awsome could be one time or to have your school known as the awsome students who provide community service and service to others .... now THAT would be awsome.
Just some thoughts.
All the best. Bob.
Adnan Taher
Nov 26 2012: When I was in high school, the only thing i expected the student council to do was to curb bullying.
- +2
See if you can work on the idea, and develop a model to protect students in your school.
Nov 26 2012: We've actually works on that already. Thanks for the suggestion though!
I'm talking about a one time event that can be awesome. I.e. a 5k marathon for charity.Nov 26 2012: College prep club is a school group that is useful and always in high demand. Invite college scouts, professors, and local business member to discuss useful tips for college and community activities. Participate in SAT/ ACT prep for the student body and help to develop or establish goals. Scholarship searches and essay ideas can be introduced in this club and you can have a group willing to read your letters sent to colleges for peer review. Also colleges are looking for students who are innovative and community minded this group can also act to help add to the appeal of your group members through unique community based actions such as volunteering. That way you can have your cake and eat it too a rare instance of a win-win.
Lejan .
Nov 26 2012: 'As a leader of the student government organization' isn't it on you to think of 'the most amazing idea to implement in 'your' high school.'?
- +1
Otherwise, what qualifies you for this position?
The world is full of inspiration for practical, meaningful and life-changing ideas and it is you who know's about the specifics and needs of your school. Your sources are your fellow students! Talk with them, discuss with them, argue with them! Have meetings, have debates! This process will be helpful to you to find what you are looking for. It will be 'home brewed' and therefore the best possible match to your high school.
No idea comes without a process.
Back in the days I was the students representative of my high school and fighting for administration approval was part of the job all the time. I could not have done it without the help, inspiration and support of the majority of the students and in many cases we succeeded. And if we didn't we took it for a reason to have another 'grief party' ... ;o)
In any case, good luck!
Nov 26 2012: Although I agree with what you're saying, I think most leaders assemble their team of experts around them, such as the President's cabinet. So I'm just saying the leader doesn't necessarily have to come up with the amazing idea themselves - they have to be able to find it, champion it, and bring it to fruition which is still quite a challenge in itself.
Lejan .
Nov 26 2012: I agree with you half/half, as a good leader to me is someone who knows the subject he/she is leading and not just acts like a 'puppet' of other peoples opinions and 'mainstream' thoughts.
- 0
That's why I think a 'generalist' should be in lead on manifold issues, and a 'specialist' on his subject.
I have seen business leaders running and ruin companies without knowing anything more about their 'products' as shown in their high-gloss brochures and I do not endorse this concept of exchangeability. Today they sell cola, tomorrow they sell cars... :o)
Good leaders are inspiring and able to listen.
edward long
Nov 26 2012: Institute a program designed to motivate and encourage young people to find and solve problems. The core idea is to help students see that it is OK to take a risk in the pursuit of advancement. Many students feel disfranchised and do not believe they have the power to make a difference. Provide guidelines for researching, choosing, and implementing very specific areas for improvement. The idea here is to combat the prevailing concept that "You Can Do It" is not really true. Trying is what matters. Learn from "failures" and take the experience on to the next challenge. Never stop trying.Dec 2 2012: They have a program where I live in which a child with special needs is mentored in school by a child without special needs. The special needs child learns to model his or her behavior in order to be more social and gain friends and the mentor learns empathy and compassion. It is a win winNov 29 2012: I don't know anything about your situation, what you've got and haven't and so on... but... in my municipality we have the "One laptop per child" project, it's very appreciated, sadly it was very costly here because my government has bad rules on who gets to sell stuff to us...
- +1
But Nicholas Negroponte's idea is quite cost effective and does a lot of good in the world... might be worth looking at if you haven't got it already...
http://www.ted.com/talks/nicholas_negroponte_on_one_laptop_per_child.htmlNov 29 2012: Could you host a TEDx?Nov 28 2012: I tell the following is an alternative history that never was (or "what I would have implemented in high school if I was leader of the student government")
It was 1979, and I was leader of the student government organization in my home town of Hamden, Connecticut. When the white vs black racial riots were causing violent crimes in our school, I stepped up and got black and white families to swap children for a whole week - to live a week in the other's families shoes. What a difference that made. We were featured on the cover of time magazine for our high school race riots.
Actually that last sentence is true - we really were featured on the cover for our race riots. Our gym teacher happened to be the former Mr. Universe, and he literally held the white and black gang leaders up by the scruffs of their necks to break up a fight.
That may make no sense for you at all to do. You have to take a look at what's going on right now in your school and form a vision of something better - collect supporters, and put that into action.Nov 26 2012: Like Edward already said, I wouldnt be too aware of the circumstances in your school but I would start up interventions that motivate young people especially developing intrinsic motivation to provide solutions to problems facing young people in your area. I may be saying that because I feel it is what I missed at that stage.....Nov 26 2012: I think Lejan put it well below this comment. What are the unique issues and needs of your school and fellow students? Would you be able to reply to this message with 1-3 of your fellow students' top issues? Is there too much bullying? Gang violence? Not enough access to online resources? Is privacy at school an issue? Lunch food taste like cardboard? Or are students just too apathetic?Nov 26 2012: A school TEDx event: there would be days when TED talks can be shown, and after it students would gather in small groups, with muffins tea and coffee, to debate and discuss.
Louis Ades
Nov 26 2012: I actually think this should be done in all classes already. Shouldn't be an extra, it should be part of the teachers' curriculum.Nov 29 2012: A TEDxYouth event is a great idea.
- +1
You might be able to visit the TED offices in New York City when applying for the license. But the key for making this a wonderful and meaningful event will be to seek out and find speakers that can reach the students in your school with new ideas that can inspire. Involve the hold student body in the seek because inspiring stories are everywhere; a neighbor, a friend of a dad. Develop a theme for the event from a discussion about TED and what"Ideas With Spreading" means. Get teachers on board with using Ted talks that apply to their lessons. Make it the season of TED and not just a single day of presentations.
Think BIG! Maybe some in this TED community will help you.Nov 26 2012: Hi Louis, I'd encourage you to consider helping put together an internship or job-placement (assistance) program for your upperclassmen. If done with the help of the guidance counselors, this will help your classmates figure out what they want to do in life, or at least get a little cash in their pockets. Or if you're really ambitious, set up a series of college recruitment days where those that want to scout out schools do so as a group on weekends. But as a fellow Brooklynite, I'd say real leadership at your level would constitute finding and forming a "sister school" relationship with one of the Staten Island, Coney Island, or Far Rockaway, or Long Island (particularly Long Beach) schools whose students' families were hit hard and do a one-to-one reach-out. Its not embarrassing to borrow clothes from a friend when yours are still in a condemned house that you can't go into. Help the schools link up and make new friends!Nov 26 2012: What do you have in mind?
For me, performing in a highschool chorus team was so wonderful.
But it depends on what you aim for.Nov 26 2012: I do not mean to break your spirit but people, in their generality, do not really expect AMAZING stuff from their government (no matter school or national). If you really want to be appreciated and rank among the best leaders of all times simply focus on the FREE and BASIC stuff. I do not want to say free lunch but on the second thought...
Nov 26 2012: Your point is well understood. But maybe, just maybe, there's a chance to spark an inspirational moment if an idea is sold the right way! Otherwise, free pizza...it could be worse;)

The Nashville Symphony is hosting its seventh annual Free Day of Music from 1 to 9 p.m. today at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. Nineteen groups will perform in various styles of music — classical, big band, rock, etc., — on four spaces throughout the complex, including the main concert hall.
There is also an instrument petting zoo where children can try various instruments; arts and crafts; and special box office ticket offers.
The event is just the first of three family-oriented concerts or events scheduled over the next few weeks. Next up is a Halloween-themed concert from the Pied Piper children's series on Saturday, followed in early November by a Pops concert featuring music and clips from Disney classics.
Free Day of Music
The Free Day of Music began in October 2006 during the orchestra's first season in the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.
Associate conductor Kelly Corcoran says she aims for variety when programming the symphony's Free Day performance. This year's program includes Mozart, Mendelssohn and Wagner, but also Rogers and Hammerstein. "It's kind of like a greatest hits playlist of different styles," Corcoran says.
She describes the symphony's set — which will begin at 7 p.m. — as informal, saying she'll interact with the audience and talk about the music.
Ghost rustlers
Next weekend the symphony presents the first of this season's hour-long Pied Piper concerts designed especially for children ages 3 to 8. "Halloween in the Wild West" begins at 11 a.m. Saturday and is preceded by pre-concert activities at 10 a.m. Tickets are $16.50 for children and $29.50 for adults (plus fees).
Corcoran will lead the orchestra and audience on a trick-or-treating adventure in the wild west, where they encounter a "rough-and-tough" cowboy telling ghost stories by the campfire. Accordingly, the music will range from scary and dramatic (Mussorgsky's "A Night on Bald Mountain") to Western-themed compositions (selections from Aaron Copland's "Rodeo" ballet score and John Williams stirring "Cowboy's Overture").
Having a theme for the Halloween concert is great fun for the young audience members, who are encouraged to attend the performance in costume, and for the orchestra members, who also like to dress up, Corcoran says. Previous Halloween Pied Piper concerts have brought forth a jellyfish costume and a hat-based solar system (Corcoran recalls one of the planets coming loose and rolling around the stage during one of the pieces).
She expects to see cowboys and cowgirls on stage this year — the theme of her own costume — as well as some more unusual outfits. "I'm sure some people will dress up like a horse or tumbleweed or a cactus," she says.
Dancers from the School of Nashville Ballet are also on the program, performing to the Mussorgsky piece and Berlioz's "Dance of the Sprites" from the "Damnation of Faust."
Choreographer Carrie Gerow says she went back to the composers' notes to see what they were thinking as they wrote the music. "There are these really beautiful pieces of wording that I found from Mussorgsky about 'A Night on Bald Mountain;' they were so dark and rich and wonderful that that's where I wanted to stay," she says.
She describes the dancers' movements as contemporary ballet, "more grounded and earthy" than those of classical dance, and says the students — nine high-school aged dancers who make up the school's top class — enjoyed exploring "darker themes" and the "not-pretty side of dance."
They also reveled in the opportunity to perform with the symphony.
"It's really a thrill as a dancer to be right there next to the musicians, because usually that doesn't happen. If you're lucky enough to be working with such a fine orchestra, they're in the pit and you never get to see them," choreographer Carrie Gerow says. The dancers also got to meet with Corcoran, who followed along with her score while they rehearsed, asked them questions and answered theirs.
"There's never time for the conductor to sit and chat with the dancers," Gerow says, "usually that happens between the artistic director of the ballet company and the conductor."
Disney's wonderful world
Next month the symphony presents "Disney in Concert: Magical Music from the Movies," a Pops concert in which they will play selections from "Mary Poppins," "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin," "The Lion King" and other films.
The music will be accompanied by singers and projections of movie clips and artwork.
Unusual for a Pops concert, this one is being promoted as a family-oriented show with an added matinee performance.
"The great thing about Disney, that I realize now coming to it a second time as a parent, is that music is such an integral part of these films and it's really exciting as a musician to see films that speak to children through song and some great melodies," Corcoran says. "This is great, great music and it deserves a place in the concert hall and played by a great orchestra."
But Corcoran acknowledges the princess appeal of much of the music and younger audience members are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite Disney character. "We'll have all these little Disney princesses and it should be really cute," Corcoran says.
"Disney in Concert" will be presented at 7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 8; 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9; and 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10. Evening tickets are $14 for children and $44 to $129 for adults (plus fees); matinee tickets are $14 for children; $23 to $60 for adults (plus fees).

Furman dominates Lady Bucs, 70-49
Monday, February 24, 2003GREENVILLE, S.C. (Feb. 24, 2003)- A career showing by sophomore Laney Harris and a powerful inside-outside game keyed a dominating Furman performance Monday night as the Lady Paladins defeated East Tennessee State 70-49 in Timmons Arena. The victory, which snapped a three-game losing streak at home, gave Furman a season sweep of the Lady Bucs, following an 86-64 victory in Johnson City, Tenn., on January 20. In the first half the Lady Paladins connected on 44.4% of their three-point shots (4-for-9) and outscored the Bucs 18-8 in the paint to hold a 38-20 advantage at the break. In addition, Furman held ETSU to 23.1% shooting from the field (9-of-39) and outrebounded the Bucs by 10, 32-22. Harris, who had three-three-pointers and 13 points in the first period, added two more treys in the second half to finish with a career-high 19 points. In addition, she claimed four rebounds and one steal while dishing off one assist. Sophomore center Jen Nadalin poured in 14 points to help the Furman effort, while Kim Lawrence and Deshara Shealey contributed 10 each. In addition, freshman guard Lauren Few totaled a career-high 13 rebounds on the night, igniting Furman's 57-42 domination on the boards. The Bucs of ETSU were paced by Kiya Verdell's (Hartwell, Ga.) 14 points, while Lauren Trantham (Asheville, N.C.) claimed a team-high 11 rebounds. Misty Copas (Kingsport, Tenn.) added nine points, while Tiffani Mayes (Sumter, S.C.) and Trantham each totaled six. With the win, Furman improves to 14-11 overall and 10-6 in the Southern Conference, while ETSU falls to 8-18 overall and 5-12 in the league. The Buccaneers will host Wofford, March 1, in their final home game of the season. Tip off is set for 1 p.m.

Wednesday, February 02, 2011
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 1, 2011) - ETSU senior Paul O'Kane (Castledawson, Northern Ireland) tied his season best with a 3-under par 69 to lead the Bucs to a ninth place finish at the JU Invitational hosted by Mark McCumber on Tuesday afternoon.
O'Kane put together the best round of the tournament by an ETSU player with his steady final round. He finished the afternoon with a bogey-free round that included three birdies and 15 pars. O'Kane led the Bucs with a tie for 14th finish at five-over (78-74-69�221) on the Players Course at TPC Sawgrass.
The Bucs steadily improved as a team throughout the event as they improved by nine strokes after round one and eight strokes following round two. ETSU shot a final round 295 to move up the leaderboard and inside the top-ten. The Bucs finished the event with a 46-over (312-303-295�910) total in the 15-team field.
Top-ranked Florida earned the wire-to-wire victory as they were the only team to shoot under-par for the tournament. The Gators finished the event at 6-under (286-283-289�858), 25 strokes better than second place finisher North Florida, who finished at 19-over (300-286-297�883). Jacksonville State and No. 42 Liberty tied for third at 22-over, while No. 40 Clemson rounded out the top-five at 24-over.
Bank Vonvanij, the nation's top-ranked player from Florida, won the individual title at 5-under overall. Vonvanij was one of just six players in the 75-player field to finish in red numbers for the tournament. Robert Karlsson of Liberty finished just two strokes back at 3-under, while Corbin Mills of Clemson and Kevin Phelan of North Florida came in at 2-under. Evan Beck of Wake Forest and Phillip Choi of Florida were the only other players in red numbers as both finished at 1-under overall.
ETSU freshman Spencer Lawson (Raleigh, N.C.) finished the tournament tied for 24th at 10-over (75-75-76�226), while junior Devin Komline (Dorset, Vermont) finished tied for 53rd at 20-over (88-72-76�236).
Patrick Spraggs (Rochford, England) and newcomer Lucas Armstrong (Church Hill, Tennessee) finished tied for 57th and tied for 59th to round out the ETSU scoring. Spraggs finished at 22-over (82-82-74�238), while Armstrong finished a stroke back at 23-over (77-82-80�239).
ETSU returns to action Feb. 20-22 when they travel to San Juan, Puerto Rico for the Puerto Rico Classic.

Recipe by GINGER P
"You don't need eggs to make a very moist and chocolate-y cake when using this easy recipe."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

4 1/2 cups
sifted all-purpose flour
3 cups
white sugar
1 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup
vegetable oil
3 cups
3 teaspoons
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
3 tablespoons
vanilla extract
I made this recipe for my son's class. And it was wonderful. He has severe food allergies and this recipe is both egg and peanut free. I added a bag of milk chocolate chips to the batter. This gave it more of a chocolate taste and less of a cocoa taste. I made cupcakes instead of the cake and I baked them for 22 minutes @ 350 degrees.
I did not care for this recipe. This cake tasted just like every cake I've had that is vegan; dry and bland. Couldnt taste chocolate at all, and not sweet enough. I don't understand how it is getting such great reviews. Followed recipe, but added a tiny bit more cocoa, which apparently still wasn't enough.
216 Ratings
I cut the recipe in half and it fit and 8 x 8 cake pan. I also added a quarter cup of semi sweet choc chips, and a teaspoon of baking powder. I also used Nesquick cocoa instead of unsweetened cocoa..came out very good..
My husband, who is allergic to eggs, has done without sweets for most of his life because, as you know, baking without eggs is a challenge. Now, being the good wife that I am (haha), I've been searching the internet and trying different eggless recipes. This is the best chocolate cake recipe we have found thus far. It is true to it's description and is very moist HOWEVER both my husband and I feel there is something lacking in the flavor; it tastes a bit bland. My husband just doesn't feel it is "chocolatey" (is that a word?) enough. Perhaps next time I will add a few semi-sweet chocolate squares to the batter. This recipe is a definite keeper - it just needs a tad bit of something extra.
It helps to also thoroughly mix the wet ingredients first then add to mixed dry ingredients and combine for about 1 minute. Pour into cake pans, let sit 5 minutes to let the baking soda start to work then bake about 30-35 minutes for 2 round cake pans
This cake came out moist and chocolately. I didn't change the recipe at all. Made for husband who is allergic to eggs and enjoyed it myself more than most cakes!!
We loved this recipe! My son was recently diagnosed as having an egg allergy and we needed an egg-free birthday cake recipe ASAP. The whole family loved it and I would highly recommend this recipe.
This was so easy. My daughter loved it. I made a glaze with Green and Black's maya gold dark chocolate which gave it a nice orange flavour.

1/2 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon
ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon
ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon
ground cloves
1/4 cup
vegetable oil

1/2 cup
1 teaspoon
i made the following substitutions, so these are very healthy: a combo of 1 c. blended oats & 1 c. whole wheat flour, applesauce instead of oil, reduced the honey to 1/2 c., milk instead of yogurt. also for the topping, cut all the ingredients in half, as i had way too much! this made 18 muffins and they cooked about 19 minutes. beautiful, sweet, and healthy!
These were delicious. I would give them five stars, except I thought that a cup of honey is overkill (I cut it down to 1/2 cup), the timing was off (I had to bake for about 30 minutes), and they would have been WAY to liquidy if I had put in the yogurt. With those changes, these are perfect.

Sweet mama potato! Healthy, with spice quantities are just low enough not to overwhelm the naturally mild and pleasant flavor of the sweet potato. This is the critical point. Five stars, if not for the slightly high sweetness (and I'm a sugarholic). ALL kids will devour them. Busy/cheap people, try these variations: Quarter sweet potato and nuke for 8 minutes (check: skin pulls off easily when done, but tears when overdone) Trade honey for brown sugar. Don't feel bad skimping on either. These muffins are plenty sweet. Use 1/2 Cup skim milk instead of yogurt If cloves or ginger aren't handy, try allspice. Mash the potato with the oil, it makes it easier.
Very moist and delicious. I used a full cup of orange juice concentrate instead of honey for a citrus twist and it was perfectly sweet enough - very good for breakfast. I've also baked this batter in a 8x8 glass pan for about 25 min. Yum!
I was so tempted to add some all purpose white flour...I thought for sure 100% whole wheat flour would be to heavy and earthy. I was wrong. This turned out wonderfully and you can feel pretty good about their healthy ingredients. I took other's advice and cut down on the sweetener - I used 1/2 cup of Agave syrup and it turned out perfectly sweet. I also substituted milk for the vanilla yogurt and I put a touch of melted light butter into my topping with a bit of water to hold it all together. I let the batter sit for about 45 minutes before I baked them. These are delicious and I'll be making them often.
YUM! Had a lonely sweet potato sitting around and wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, so I thought I'd try these muffins. They are so good! I used applesauce instead of the oil per other suggestions & used only 1/2 cup of honey. Other than that, kept everything else the same for the muffin ingredients. The taste is perfect! Not too sweet, but sweet enough. The oat topping is a nice touch! I halved the topping & it was just the right amount for 18 muffins. Thank you so much for this recipe! Will definitely be making these again. :)
Love these! I baked per recipe except that I took the advise of others and used only 1/2 cup of Agave instead of 1 cup of honey. I did use 1 cup of reg whole wheat flour and 1 cup of white whole flour. I also halved the amount of topping and it was plenty. My sweet potato was pretty large and these came out so moist and not too heavy, maybe due to the white whole wheat flour. Will make often! Thanks for this lovely recipe!
I had a can of sweet potatoes I was itching to use up and found this recipe. I had no idea how much to use so I used 3/4 of the 15 oz can. It seemed to be just right. I used 1/4 cup Agave sweetener plus a few more squirts after checking the batter. I have a huge sweet tooth and I could stand to have these sweeter but then again they are still tasty. I didn't want to bust out the blender so I just did the sugar and oats and cinnamon for the topping added a little melted butter to make them stick. I can't wait to have an extra sweet potato laying around. I am making these again!
