(20 contact hours)
Target Audience: Faith Community Members, Lay Volunteers, Clergy, Seminarians, Allied Healthcare, Professionals
Purpose of Certificate: Faith communities have long been places of healing and health. The Affordable Care Act has shed new light on how we access and look at health. There is a greater consciousness of the need to improve personal and community health and wellness. Congregations will need organized ways, possibly through health ministries, to navigate this complex new landscape to help their faith community members connect to and access resources and services.
The health minister certificate provides an introductory, educational foundation for individuals desiring core competency to serve as health ministers in a faith community setting. The main goal of the health ministry certificate is to equip various audiences with practical ministerial skills such as active listening, theological reflection, and connector to community resources.
A health ministry may already exist in a faith community in social justice, religious education, volunteer visitors, hospitality, and youth ministries. A health ministry helps strengthen a faith communities' communication and connections within and outside their faith community. With the new healthcare legislation emphasizing population based care, health ministers can help their faith community link to health resources in new ways. Health ministers working together with clergy, various ministries, and Faith Community Nurses in teams or committees can provide faith communities new ways to grow and adapt to change in its mission to serve the local community or its own members.
Curriculum: The Health Minister Certificate is based on the guidelines published in 2011 by the Health Ministries Association's "The Health Minister Role: Guidelines and Foundational Curriculum Elements". This document encompasses common core elements found in various national best practice models for training and educating health ministers.
Faculty for Certificate courses: Faculty teaching modules will have knowledge and skills in subject area and have a clear understanding of various faith and health terms. Current Wesley Seminary faculty, Faith Community leaders, Faith Community Nurse or Health Ministry coordinators at hospitals, or established faith leaders will serve as faculty members for the modules.

Clearwater Valley Elementary School Reviews
I really enjoy one of the K teachers. The students have all progressed in that class. I wish she was a full time but she is only part time. The other K class play too much. I would put my child in the one class over the other. Good Job! They are all doing better than when they started at beginng of school year and know so much more!
I think it is not a bad school although some things need to be addressed like when children are fighting on playground. I was there in Jan. 2011 and they where given time out on a wall. WRONG! Parents need to be call and they need to go to office and be suspended for a week. So that parents can do there job. There where 3 fights in one day (NOT OK). It does happen but if you do not correct it then it will get worse. Also some teachers did correct thing on playground by going over to student and talking to them teaching them why we do and don't do some of those things. A few teachers just start YELLING (NOT OK). Kids will start to yell back be an adult. Some teachers there teach well and are good at their job and others do not so be aware parents. If I had a video camera I would have taken it to board of Edu.

An F-35B lands on the amphibious assault ship Wasp. Cracks were found in the fuselage of a test model of the jump-jet variant of the joint strike fighter. (Lockheed Martin)
- Filed Under
WASHINGTON — Cracks were found in the fuselage of a test model of the F-35B, the Marine Corps variant of the joint strike fighter, Defense News has learned.
The discovery will have no impact on flights occurring on any of the three F-35 variants, but will require that the test model be shut down for two to four months while inspectors look at the issue.
During a late August 2013 inspection of the F-35B short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) ground article used for durability testing, two minor cracks were identified in one of the ground articles four primary wing carry-through bulkheads, Kyra Hawn, an F-35 program spokeswoman, said in an Oct. 10 statement.
The cracks appeared after more than 9,400 equivalent flight hours, or roughly 17 years of flight time. The F-35 program of record requires a lifecycle of 8,000 hours per plane; the test vehicle will eventually go through a simulation of two lifetimes, or 16,000 hours.
In other words, while the cracks are hardly a good thing, this was a problem discovered after extensive stress testing designed to find such problems. That said, a fix will need to be introduced into the production line, as well as added to previously produced models.
A combined effort by government and Lockheed Martin engineering teams is underway to address modifications to the bulkhead that will be incorporated into production and the fleet as part of the normal program concurrency process to ensure aircraft full life, Hawns statement said.
Hawn added that the cost and time needed to retrofit fixes for the issue into the current F-35B fleet are unknown at the moment. About 50 of the F-35Bs will require retrofitted bulkhead repairs.
The program office estimates modifications would add less than two pounds to the overall weight of the aircraft.
The F-35, a stealthy fifth-generation fighter, comes in three varieties. The F-35A is a conventional takeoff and landing model; the F-35B is a jump-jet design; and the F-35C is designed for use on aircraft carriers.
The F-35B will be used primarily by the US Marine Corps, which have targeted July 2015 for Initial Operational Capacity (IOC). That IOC date will not be impacted by this issue, according to Hawn.

Video: Greensboro Crime Statistics
Greensboro, N.C. - The city of Greensboro had more than 1300 fewer crime victims in 2012 compared to 2011. Police say community involvement and community watch groups have helped bring those crime numbers down.
Greensboro Police Chief Ken Miller says he's proud of the recent crime numbers. The city had 13,869 crimes last year. The chief says that's the lowest number of crimes the city has seen since 1988.
Overall crime has dropped 9.2 percent. Even as the city's population climbs, the crime rate continues to drop. Typically, when the economy is down, crime goes up. However, the chief says, he thinks he knows why that's not happening here.
"That is, in large part, due to the technology that's available to police and the connections police have and the accountabilities police have in engaging their communities now more than we ever have in the history of policing," Chief Miller said.
The chief spent a lot of time stressing the value of community watch groups. Miller said the city has many active community members and leaders who make his officers' jobs easier.
What's ahead for the department? Chief Miller says they're working on a new mapping system that you'll be able to see online. It will show where all the crimes are happening. Plus, officers will have access to that map in their vehicles and it will help them target trouble areas.
Right now, the number one crime in town is theft from a vehicle. Last, year, it happened twenty-seven hundred times.
"It is a hassle and an inconvenience to bundle everything up and take it into the house. But, sadly, it is a very sensible precaution in Greensboro," Officer Douglas Campbell said.
One local YMCA branch had trouble with break-ins about six months ago. Members were leaving items in their cars in full view. Managers took action, warned all the members through email and talked to them when they came in to exercise. Plus, they added lockers near the front desk for people to store their wallets and valuables. The effort worked -- they haven't had any problems since.
"it's just being open and honest with the members, letting them know that it does happen and they need to be aware of it. It's not a perfect world and it's not necessarily a safe world anymore," YMCA employee Lynn Crawford said.
It sounds obvious, but Greensboro police say it's worth repeating. Don't leave any valuables in your car.
Also, don't stash everything in the trunk. Thieves watch at places like gyms for people to do that. If you're going put something valuable in your trunk, do it before you get to the gym.

USAID's wide-ranging work supports U.S. policy objectives in peace and security, democracy and governance, health and education, economic growth, and humanitarian assistance. We implement three major U.S. presidential initiatives in Uganda: Feed the Future, the Global Health Initiative and the Global Climate Change Initiative.
Since 1991, Ukraine's development trajectory has taken the country from a command to a market-based economy. The United States Government maintains a strategic interest in helping Ukraine's transition toward greater democracy and a sustainable free market economy. Over the last 20 years USAID has provided $1.8 billion in critical development assistance in support of the Ukrainian people. Much of this development assistance has helped Ukrainians experience increased political freedoms, stronger transparency guarantees, and more economic and social opportunities.
Developing an independent, stable, prosperous and democratic Central Asia along Afghanistan's border is vital to regional and global security, and Uzbekistan plays a pivotal role in the heart of the region. As Central Asia's most populous country, Uzbekistan's extensive natural resources and transportation links make it a potential force for economic growth and stability in the region.
West Africa's tremendous resources—human, agricultural, and mineral—are dogged by political instability, poor governance, environmental degradation, disease, extreme poverty, and lack of private investment opportunities. To combat these challenges, USAID's West Africa Regional Mission, located in Accra, Ghana, implements innovative regional activities to address trans-boundary issues, as well as activities in countries where there is no USAID mission.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is the principal U.S. government agency that administers the United States' foreign assistance program in the West Bank and Gaza. Building the institutions of a viable future Palestinian state is a core U.S.
Beginning in January 2011, citizens participating in peaceful demonstrations in Yemen's cities expressed frustration at widespread corruption, unresponsive government, and the lack of economic opportunity. In response, they were successful in advocating for a transfer of power which began a political transition that would address widely held grievances.
Zambia has experienced 12 straight years of impressive economic growth and its average per capita income of $1,760 makes it a lower-middle-income country. With more than two decades of successful multi-party democracy, the country has also been a bastion of peace and security.
Zimbabwe was once one of southern Africa's most vibrant, productive, and resilient countries. However, over the past decade, the nation has faced a series of political and economic crises that have led to the general decline of Zimbabweans' standard of living and a breakdown in public health, education, and infrastructure. Democratic development continues, as the country begins to implement a new constitution passed in 2013.
As of 2012, Zimbabwe had an estimated population of 13.7 million and a life expectancy of 56 years for men and 60 years for women. Furthermore, as of 2011, approximately 72 percent of all households were below the poverty line.
Although reforms since 2009 have helped stabilize the economy, a significant number of people are still food insecure. Formal unemployment levels remain very high and industries continue to operate well below capacity. The uncertain political climate and domestic policies restrict foreign and domestic investment needed for economic growth. The country's estimated external debt of $8.9 billion, two-thirds of which is overdue, severely limits development lending to the country.
Zimbabwe's high mortality and illness rates are a result of an under-resourced health delivery system, which is overstretched by the high burden of HIV, TB, and maternal and childhood illnesses. A decade of worsening economic conditions and rising costs has eroded a once vibrant health system. HIV prevalence has declined since its peak in the last decade; however, the country still has one of the highest prevalence rates in the world at 15 percent.
To ensure that its future is in the hands of Zimbabweans, USAID works with its partners and the Government to strengthen health services, increase food security, support economic resilience, and promote democratic governance.

Each week Arcane Brilliance endeavors to give you a tiny peek into the vast and mysterious world of Mages. This peek comes at the cost of your very soul. Really, it totally does. Ok, so I'm lying. Your soul will be fine. No soul-related problems will come from reading Arcane Brilliance. That we're aware of.
Mages complain a lot. We do. A stroll through the first couple pages of threads over on the official Mage forums is more often than not like a guided tour of QQ central. For instance, as I write this there's a four-page topic on quitting the game over not being able to downrank spells anymore. Yes, it's terrible, but apparently a level one Warrior is considering leaving the game because he can't save a bit of mana on his main by casting rank 1 Frost Nova. I sense a great disturbance in the Force, as if one first-level Warrior cried out in terror and was suddenly silenced. I think we all share a great sense of loss here.
To be frank, in these heady days of Living Bomb spells that look like they might actually be useful, Frostfire Bolts that have the potential to be very, very powerful, Deep Freezes that have become instant cast and do nice damage, an Arcane tree that looks as if it can stand alone as a high-DPS tree, and of course Polymorph: Penguin, I feel as if there simply isn't much left for us Mages to complain about. In fact, as the Wrath beta progresses, I find more and more about our class that inspires an overall sense of optimism.
Still, I dream of better things. I'm happy at the direction we appear to headed in, but there a few things I wish for our class--a short list of improvements, most of which I have wanted for a very long time. I'm not finding fault, just wishing. A Mage can dream, can't he? Join me after the break for a brief Mage wish-list, the things I dream of when I'm not setting fire to Fel Orcs.
Reader Nickolas sent me a link to his forum post on the subject some time ago, and I liked his well-thought-out take. This is an idea I've seen brought up many times in our community, and it seems to have a lasting appeal to Mages. As Nickolas says, we in no way want to be a "pet class" similar to Warlocks or Hunters. The idea here is that of a small non-combat pet, one that grants some sort of passive buff or other benefit. We don't want to manage a pet, we don't need any additional buttons to hit. We aren't asking for a tank here, or any kind of controllable pet for that matter.
Nickolas points out that the idea of a Mage familiar dates back almost to the origins of the gaming archetype, being a magic-user spell in the original Dungeons & Dragons manual. It's a very wizardly mechanic, to be sure, and would fit quite easily into the WoW game world and class lore. There really isn't a conflict here that I can see.
My personal ideal for how this concept could be implemented is as follows:
The Mage would be able to cast a channeled, out-of-combat spell that would summon a small non-combat pet that would then follow the Mage for a moderate to long time period. This pet could be drawn from the Mage's immediate surroundings, possibly a critter native to the Mage's current zone. A Mage in Elwynn Forest would have a chance to summon a cat or chicken, while in The Barrens that same Mage might find himself accompanied by a dig rat or a prairie dog. A Mage traveling through Tanaris might summon a tiny scorpion, or deep inside The Steamvault the spell might call forth a crab or frog. This would lend the spell a bit of flavor and variety.
Once summoned, the familiar would not be controllable, but would grant the Mage and his party or raid a passive buff. This buff would be significant, but not any more-so than other class buffs. The buff could even be tied to the type of familiar you end up summoning, so that different pets and zones would give different buffs, though I could see that becoming problematic. Types of buffs could range from flat spell-damage or mana regen to things like spell haste, spell hit, or some kind of resistance aura.
I just love the concept of a Mage familiar, and it feels so incredibly appropriate for the class. There are certainly other ways in which this idea could work, and many are presented in Nickolas' original post and the thread that follows. A mechanic like this doesn't seem like it would throw off class balance, and it doesn't strike me as a spell that would be difficult to implement. Most importantly, it would be great fun, and that's why we play this game.
We love this spell, we really do. It's perfect for the Mage class, the concept of bending space for just an instant and blinking forward 20 yards instantaneously. In concept, it's a perfect escape mechanism for a class that relies upon its ability to stay out of striking range and avoid damage. If only it worked.
Reader Senitor Troll called my attention to a well-written post and subsequent thread on the official forums that addresses the issue. Blink is plagued by a bug that makes it stop working on uneven terrain, when near a wall or gap, in doorways, narrow areas, near water, when the moon is full, in the presence of others, during the Jewish New Year, or on any day that ends in the letter "Y." The problem isn't so much that a bug exists. Bugs and glitches come and go, and we learn to live with them in a persistent game such as this. The problem is that this particular bug has been a part of being a Mage since the game was released. It's so bad that even on seemingly flat, uninterrupted terrain, like a road or plain, the spell often doesn't work. I've had it backfire on the freaking Shimmering Flats, for crying out loud.
A Rogue jumps out of stealth and starts to stab you in the backside. Realizing that you only have about 2 seconds to live at the rate he's depleting your meager health bar, you Frost Nova him in place and Blink away to safety. Only you actually don't. Instead you vanish and reappear two steps backward. The Rogue grins and resumes his stabbing, and you're dead long before the cooldowns on either spell run out.
A fix for this would be a huge benefit to Mages, without question. This isn't any new spell I'm asking for. All I'm wishing for here is a fix to a spell we've had since day one. It doesn't need to be improved, just repaired to work as originally intended. I no longer want hitting my Blink hot-key to be a constant adventure. If there's a clear spot 20 yards ahead of me when I hit it, that's where I want to go. I don't want to go nowhere, I don't want to go sideways, and I certainly don't want to reappear impaled upon the blade of the Rogue I just tried to get away from.
More Portals
I know I'm being selfish here, but I love teleporting. I think we all do. I understand that getting around is part of the game, and even Mages should have to get on their Skeletal Warhorses and ride somewhere sometimes. Still, I would love to be able to teleport a few more places. Stonard was a welcome addition, and I'd love a few more in that vein, to provide more convenient access to some of the more out-of-way instances in the game. Someplace like Silithus, Eastern Plaguelands, Tanaris, Netherstorm, or Badlands would be really nice. I'm not sure anyone would protest having access to more portals, even if they hate Mages.
Mirror Image
This spell has been mentioned as a possibility for our level 80 spell. World of Raids lists the spell description as follows, along with the caveat that the spell is not yet implemented:
10% of base mana
Instant cast - 3 min cooldown
Creates 3 copies of the caster nearby, which cast spells and attack the Mage's enemies. Lasts 30 seconds.
I lust after this spell. Now, I understand the spell may never come to fruition, and even if it does, it almost certainly won't end up the way I envision it. The spell description fills my head with delicious thoughts of being able to essentially multi-box every 3 minutes for 30 seconds, a mental picture of four Undead Mages who look just like me walking out of an Arena tunnel in lockstep and casting simultaneous PoM-Pyroblasts on an unsuspecting Warlock. It's a nice dream, but totally ridiculous, of course.
I have so very many questions about this spell. Will the copies be killable? Controllable? Dispellable? What spells will they cast? What kind of damage will their spells do? Can I have my copies perform mundane tasks for me, like mowing the lawn or changing diapers? Will my copies then make copies of themselves, and will hilarity ensue?
However they decide to finally implement this, I want it. Most likely, the spell will deliver one of two things, or a mixture of both. Either the copies will be weak versions of the Mage that summoned them, casting random nukes and doing a decent amount of extra DPS, or they will simply be a survivability technique, doing no noticeable damage but appearing to cast spells, giving your enemies a 75% chance to target the wrong Mage and kill a copy instead of the real Mage. Either way sounds fun to me, and hopefully the spell is actually implemented, whatever form it eventually takes.
Well, that's my short list. I'm sure you all have other things you'd wish for Mages, and I'd love to see what they are. I like where our class is headed, but that doesn't stop me from wanting more. I'm a greedy prick, and I'm okay with that.

I am a middle school band director. I spent a lot of time reviewing this website and I think it is outstanding!! I used it as part of a web quest that I made. It tells you all about the orchestra and the instruments that are involved. It is extremely interactive and fun to use as well as being a truely educational site. Even though it was intended for students up through middle school, I personally think anyone would enjoy it. It tells you about each instrument as well as giving you a picture of it and even has the sound each instrument makes. Even though most of the sounds are synthesized, they are very close to the real thing, so I was pleased with that. It even goes in to talking about the basics, tempo, rhythm, pitch, etc. and lets you actually here the differences between them. It also gives you the dates of performances of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. It even lets you play a tune using a keyboard on the performulator site and then lets you compose on the composerizer site. It also has a "radio section" that lets you interact by changing the stations and hearing different music that the orchestra has played, giving you descriptions of each piece. I do wish it had the saxophone listed as one of the instruments, but of course that is not a standard instrument in the orchestra.Technical Remarks: You need to have Macromediamedia Flash Player 5.0 or higher to view material on this site. It does give you the site to download and does not take long to download. It is very user friendly and has a help section if you are having a problem. It also has a site map as well as a search area, which I think is great to have on a website.

Numerous decisions by the National Labor Relations Board could be on shaky ground following a federal appellate court ruling that three board members had been appointed illegally.
President Obama's appointment of the trio to the board in early January 2012, during a Senate recess and without Senate confirmation, was unconstitutional, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said in a Jan. 25 ruling.
The ruling came in response to a lawsuit brought by Noel Canning, a Washington state canning and bottling company that challenged an NLRB decision in a labor dispute. Because the appointments were invalid, the five-seat board lacked a quorum and "its order is void," the court said.
The ruling came under immediate fire from the White House, which is expected either to ask the full circuit court to rehear the case or to appeal directly to the Supreme Court.
In a statement, NLRB Chairman Mark Pearce said the board "respectfully" disagreed with the decision and believed that Obama's position would prevail. Last month's ruling applies to only the Noel Canning case, Pearce said, while more than a dozen others raising similar questions are pending in other appellate courts. In the meantime, the board "will continue to perform our statutory duties and issue decisions," Pearce said.
Since the beginning of last year, the board has probably issued more than 500 decisions, said Linda Doyle, a Chicago attorney with the firm McDermott, Will & Emery who represents employers in labor contract negotiations.
While Doyle expects "a lot of litigation" from employer groups in the wake of the appellate court's ruling, she thinks it would come in the form of carefully chosen challenges to individual orders rather than an attempt to throw out every board decision and rule-making from the last 13 months.
Assuming that the case does go to the Supreme Court, she added, a final decision could be two years off.
Ronald Meisburg, a former NLRB general counsel now with the Proskauer Rose firm, said he doubts that businesses would bother to challenge previous board actions — such as decisions in unfair labor practice cases — that are now closed. But companies already appealing board decisions could now cite the recess appointment issue if they haven't already, he said.
Recess appointments can last at most until the end of the next year. Presidents have relied on them to install nominees for executive branch positions who would have trouble winning Senate confirmation. In the Noel Canning case, the court disagreed with the Obama administration's contention that the Senate was in recess in early 2012, even though Republicans were holding brief "pro forma" sessions every three days. The court also ruled that the White House can make recess appointments only when the vacancy occurs during a Senate recess.
The same day that Obama seated the three NLRB members, he also used a recess appointment to put former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray in charge of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Last week, Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., and two other Republican lawmakers introduced a bill that would bar both agencies from enforcing any decisions without a Senate-confirmed board or director.
Both agencies have been "operating under a ruse for more than a year," Johanns said in a news release. "This legislation forces them to stop functioning as if they legitimately hold office and recognizes the reality that the president overstepped his constitutional authority."

Comments about Breezy WhisperLite® COOLCAP® Wig by Paula Young®:
Received wig within the first week I placed order. Customer service is excellent, doesn't look like wig, very natural & stylish. I'm extremely pleased with Breezy wig, If I could I'd buy another one just like it. This is my fourth wig from Paul a Young and the best. I'm very grateful since I need to wear a wig daily!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Lacking Thickness
By yorkiegirl
from Glassboro, NJ
About Me Brand Buyer
I'd be willing to pay a little extra for more hair volume. The amount of hair is so thin and see through. Luckily I ordered a dark brown liner to hold back my own hair or you'd see scalp through it if I had no hair. The bangs are too long also. They hang in my eyes. If I keep it, which at this writing I am not sure I will, they will have to be professionally cut.....another expense.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have purchased three Breezy wigs as I wear wig daily. The first two had a good amount of hair, however this last one 4 weeks ago, had much less hair, I didn't return it as I thought it would be okay, but then a lot of hair fell out and I really can't wear it unless I stay home. I really love this style and hope that this company fixes the lack of hair problem then I would get another! This is the only style wig for me & I hope Paula Young contacts me when the issue is fixed.

Does anyone know the age of OGD BIB? Maybe a guess?
Does anyone know the age of OGD BIB? Maybe a guess?
All one can say for sure is that all of the OGD bottlings are at least four years old, because they don't carry an age statement. However, OGD has historically been considered a "premium" brand, so I would venture a guess that it is 5 to 6 years old.
I don't have a bottle of the BIB at the moment but my mental recollection of it's taste is exactly what TNBourbon described - orange peel.
Thanks to the handy dandy search function and the acronym list posted in October, I have learned what BIB stands for. Is this indicated on the bottle label? I'm not sure if this is available in PA but I'm willing to look if I knew what to look for. Thanks.
It is available in PA. Just look for Old Grandad 100 Proof.
Colonel Joseph B. "Bourbon Joe" Koch
"Bourbon.....It's cheaper than therapy!!"
In most, but not all, cases a 100 proof whiskey is BIB, but in all cases a BIB whiskey is 100 proof. Definitely in the case of Old Grand-Dad the 100 proof expression is BIB and says so on the label. Actually, it says "Bonded" but that's the same thing.
Based just on tasting the current bottlings, I'd guess it's at least six years old.
All I know is, when I see OGD BIB, I buy it (thanks, Chuck!).
Picked up a bottle for poker night on saturday. I thought it was pretty good (here comes the amateur opinion....). I picked it up for 17.99 here in PA. My impression is that it is something that I would not necessarilly rush to drink neat, but it was a nice drink to sip on with ice while playing some cards. There was some good full flavor to it, but I don't see myself picking it up again over Buffalo Trace for 19.99 (39.99 for 1.75L).
All in all I would give it a 7 on my personal scale which is really indicative of nothing tangible except for my personal tastes. I didn't get a lot of feedback from the other drinker at my table, but I didn't hear any complaints.
As an aside, I think I will enjoy this bottle of the month section. It should really open me up to trying new bottles instead of sticking to the 'usual' all the time. Thanks.
Enjoying a pour of this in a snifter to bid it farewell as BOTM.
The nose tonight seems to be orange zest and cinnamon, maybe some just-burnt pie crust. Oddly, the first taste is sweet, but then my tongue begins to prickle and the spices - cinnamon and clove, but also pepper and possibly anise - rush across the palate. Caramel is there, hiding, but coating the tongue. Earlier in the thread, we discussed apple pie. I am reminded right now of the deeply caramelized edges of a pie crust where juice from the apple filling has bubbled out and browned: the spices are swallowed up in sugar and heat.
The middle is long and lively, the finish abrupt: the aforementioned sweetness and the faintest touch of char are quickly snuffed out by a vague numbing of the tongue such as cloves will accomplish. Another sip is required immediately.
For whatever reason, a good deal of OGD 86 and BIB from the ND era is available in this area, and I have been buying it up (and rightly so, from what I've tasted), but tonight I poured from a Beam bottling (2003), and this is still a terrific whiskey. Every time I've poured it, it has been different, yet the constants - spice from the rye, deep caramel richness in the middle, and a total lack of pretense - remain.
To finish off this pour, I may have to pull out a chocolate bar: bittersweet dark chocolate with orange and spices.
Head of the Bourbon Family, indeed.

Belmont guard Alex Renfroe (12), playing against Duke in 2008, signed a contract to play pro basketball in Russia.
- Filed Under
Former Belmont University men's basketball standout Alex Renfroe has agreed to terms on a contract with Enisey Krasnoyarsk of the Russian Professional Basketball League.
Terms were not disclosed.
Renfroe, who earned Associated Press Honorable Mention All-America and Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year honors for the Bruins in 2009, has enjoyed a stellar professional career.
The Nashville native and former Hume-Fogg High School standout has kept his passport busy, pulling off the rare feat of earning professional league championships in three different countries in three consecutive seasons.
In June, Renfroe helped Brose Baskets Bamberg to the German Bundesliga title. Last season, the point guard directed Enel Brindisi to the Italian pro league championship. And in 2010-11, Renfroe directed KK Zagreb to the Croatian league crown.
Renfroe began the year with CB Valladolid of the ACB League in Spain before his transfer to Germany.
The 6-foot-2 Renfroe first gained national acclaim for his standout performance in the 2008 NCAA Tournament against Duke.
Renfroe joins 2013 Belmont graduates Ian Clark (NBA Utah Jazz), Kerron Johnson (New Zealand), and Trevor Noack (Germany) in the professional ranks.

The U.S. chose wisely in electing President Barack Obama to a second term. How much difference his re-election will make is another question: a lot, if one or both parties draw the right lessons; not very much, if they don't.
For at least a year, conservatively estimated, Congress and the White House have been essentially shut down as campaigning took priority over governing. You'd think an election that cost billions of dollars and an incalculable expense of political effort would have changed ...

Rest of Article.
The rumors were further inflamed when Nelson's assistant coach Larry Riley was elevated to assistant GM. This was viewed by some as a power move foisted by Nelson. The coach calls that preposterous.
"He was taken from me,'' Nelson said of Riley. "I miss him. I've got nobody to hang with now. I'm all alone on the road. It's been a nightmare for me. No, I had nothing to do with that. ''
That was a response to Tim KaWackami's article..
Kawakami: Nellie chose power, money over friendship, longevity
By Tim Kawakami
Mercury News
Posted: 12/01/2008 10:30:15 PM PST
Nelson had a choice to make last summer: Either stand with his friend Chris Mullin to keep the Warriors stable, or undermine Mullin and grab the power, to heck with stability and everything else.
Naturally, Nelson chose the power (and $12 million) and the heck-with-everything option.
So here comes the messiness"...
It was predictable. It was just Nellie Being Nellie — cunning and strategic and creative and not at all conducive to long, faithful friendships and evergreen tenures.
The inevitable result is this fractured but still fairly talented Warriors team, often playing like the sum of its warts.
Monday, the Warriors extended their losing streak to seven games by losing to the Miami Heat at Oracle Arena.
But there will surely be future Nelson disruptions and quixotic Nellie-Being-Nellie coaching behavior and possibly, if history repeats, a Nelson fade and strange departure. And lawsuits, of course.
Meanwhile, in a chase for immediate gratification, the Warriors have committed so much long-term money to Stephen Jackson, Corey Maggette, Andris Biedrins, Monta Ellis and Jamal Crawford that this franchise is already a non-factor in the epic free-agent class of 2010.
The coach is signed through 2010-2011, too. No getting out of that one.
It didn't have to be like this, of course. At first, when Mullin hired Nelson by persuading owner Chris Cohan to forget and forgive the Warriors' tortured
past with Nelson, they were the best coach-executive tandem the Warriors have had in decades.
Good things happened. Mullin has made his share of mistakes, of course, but with Nelson helping him out, this team had savvy and guts.
But Nelson turned the tables — now, for some reason, Mullin is suspect in the eyes of ownership — which means the Warriors are totally dependent on the 68-year-old coach. That is never a steady situation, as the Mavericks, Knicks and, yes, the Warriors discovered previously.
The latest shaky sign: Nelson recently declared that this team wasn't good enough to compete for a playoff spot, and Monday he continued to elaborate on that point.
"If you look at our team last year, we were really good," Nelson said before the game. "We didn't make the playoffs last year — we won 48 games.
"This team isn't nearly as good as that one. How would we expect to make the playoffs with this team when we didn't make it last year? And we had a lot of veteran players on the team. To me, it's just common sense. That's why I said it."
Nelson talked about rebuilding. About the long haul. But Jackson and Maggette are middle-aged players and who knows about Monta Ellis' comeback. So the Warriors probably will be rebuilding again in three years.
On one hand, it's hard to fully blame Nelson. This is definitely a flawed roster, at least until Ellis comes back fully healthy and Anthony Randolph and Brandan Wright step into significant roles.
Nelson didn't lose Baron Davis or cause Robert Rowell to turn on Mullin; Nelson merely facilitated it by stepping into the power void.
He didn't demand a new contract or seek Mullin's ouster.
But without the Warriors' weaknesses and Rowell's insecurities, Nelson would've never accumulated this kind of influence, and it comes off wrong when he starts to complain about the team's immediate prospects.
He's the one who has stubbornly stuck with Small Ball — and Maggette launching wild jumpers from the power-forward position — for long odd stretches this season.
He's the one who won't play Wright or Randolph for significant minutes, either because he doesn't trust them or because he's worried they might succeed and force him to play a more regular lineup.
He's the one who has installed his right-hand man, Larry Riley, as the presumptive general manager.
Without Nelson on hand, Rowell probably never would have dared to take on Mullin publicly, which was the move that has caused all the franchise reverberations.
Nelson went for instability. He heightened the drama. He showed no loyalty to Mullin. He took the $12 million, and, eventually, he'll probably run.
There was a little mini-example of that Saturday, when Nelson left the court with more than 10 seconds left, at the end of the Warriors' humiliation in New York.
"The game was over and we weren't going to foul, because we were down 12, I think, or 13, and we were going to let the clock run out," Nelson said. "And if it bothers you, I won't do it again."
Maybe. At least that's what he told us. But you never know what Nelson is going to do. He always ends up leaving when you think he should stay, and staying when you think he should leave.

Train hits truck stalled on tracks in Magnolia
Published On: Mar 11 2013 01:06:33 PM CDT Updated On: Mar 04 2013 10:33:45 PM CST
Traffic in Magnolia was snarled on Monday after a train slammed into an 18-wheeler.
Magnolia firefighters said the crash happened on the railroad tracks along F.M. 1488 at F.M. 1774 about 3:20 p.m.
Investigators said a truck got stalled on the tracks. A freight train came around a corner and its conductor was unable to stop before hitting the truck, officials said.
There was a small diesel spill, but it was quickly contained.
The wreck caused some problems for students going home from school. Buses and parents were re-routed to avoid the area.
No injuries were reported.
The cause of the truck's stall is under investigation.

A Summer Trifle with Raspberries and Raspberry Puree
There is positively no cooking involved here, it's just a quick assembly job – but then when you come to eat it you won't believe it could be that easy. It is important to find a ready-made custard with a high cream content – some own-label supermarket custards we tried were less successful.
Serves 6
This recipe first appeared in Sainsbury's Magazine.
First of all cut the trifle sponges in half lengthways, spread each half with raspberry jam, then reform them and cut each one into 3 little sandwiches. Now arrange them in the trifle bowl. Then make a few stabs in the sponges and sprinkle the Madeira or sherry carefully and evenly over them, then leave it all aside for half an hour so it can soak in.
After that sprinkle half the raspberries over the top of the trifle sponges pushing some down in amongst them. Then put the rest into a food processor along with the sugar and whiz to a purée, then push the purée through a nylon sieve to remove the pips. Next drizzle the purée over the raspberries.
Now empty the mascarpone into a bowl, give it a whisk to soften it, then add the custard, a little at a time, whisking them together till thoroughly blended. Spoon the mixture evenly over the top of the raspberries. Sprinkle with toasted flaked almonds, cover with clingfilm and chill before serving.

Sometimes, a @ManyToOne field has to be the Primary Key, or part of the Primary Key. Adding @Id to the @ManyToOne does not help, an additional property with duplicates the referenced id is needed:
(userId and User field in the Phonenumber class - to be able to set @Id on userId):
Allowing @Id on @ManyToOne fields (which would make the JoinColumn a PK) would help here. Any maybe this would also fix

DDC-795 Wrong SQL statement when using loadOneToManyCollection
- Resolved
Thanks for your reply on doctrine-user!
My previous workaround was something like this:
Instead of just having a $User property in the Phonenumber entity (which is mapped by the userId field in the phonenumber table), I have an additional $userId property, which is also mapped to the userId DB field. This way I could make $userId @Id (and thus add it to the PKs), but I had to manually update it when I set the $User (see the TODO annotations in the Pastie code).
I see "EntityManager#find(...)" would have to be able to also get objects as identifiers, e.g. (int, User), which may have major implications...
However I think to support constructions like this is very important as it's a very common pattern, especially for OneToOne associations with no additional identifier field (PK = FK)...
We might need to introduce the concept of an IdClass for this in order to be implemented decently.
I just ran into this exact issue. Is there any decent way to work around this issue as the pastie.org-Link is already gone?
In an Entity (e.g. "Phonenumber") with PrimaryKey userId you can do something like this:
/** * @ManyToOne(targetEntity="Entities\User", inversedBy="Phonenumbers") * @JoinColumn(name="userId", referencedColumnName="id") */ protected $User; /** * @Id * @Column(name="userId", type="integer") */ protected $userId; public function setUser(\Entities\User $user) { $this->User = $user; $this->userId = $user->getId(); }
I took the time today and tried what is possible to hack in this regard and came up with a pretty trivial solution for this. This is a very early draft of this functionality as it might be included in 2.1

Wow, great work, Benjamin. Will try it out ASAP and when it works, I'll owe you a beer.
I'm having troubles with user-defined column names used in SAPK. The schema tool complains that the column name doesn't exist. I've reduced it to a small testcase based on DDC117Test.
I fixed another bunch of issues with hydration and updating of assoc-id entities.
@s9e i will now tackle your issue.
@s9e you forgot to define the @JoinColumn annotation correctly. that is necessary when you rename the ID column on the other side. See my current commit, it works for me!
The commit is: http://github.com/doctrine/doctrine2/commit/772e5924898326de2c769c4cb0c6874fde4edc45
Add current version of the patch diffed against the master from today, for easier testing and review.
@Benjamin Eberlei - Actually it's the other way around. I have defined @JoinColumn on both sides of the relationship, and SchemaTool doesn't like that. After removing @JoinColumn from the inverse side, SchemaTool processes the entities as expected, so I'm not sure whether it should be considered a bug or a feature. If @JoinColumn should only be defined on the owning side, please add a note to the manual.
Anyway, the schema now works but I'm still having troubles persisting through cascade. Test attached.
the @joinColumn is explained in the association mapping chapter. There are examples for each cases, showing where to put the annotation and where not.
The Persist Cascade i pick up next then.
Hi Benjamin, great work on this. Testing it out now. One problem (do you want a ticket opened?). Using the latest
DDC-117 branch, schema tool crates both a PRIMARY KEY and a UNIQUE KEY (at least in MySQL) on the same columns. The UNIQUE KEY is really not necessary, right?
/** @Entity */ class Foo { /** * @Id @Column(type="integer") * @GeneratedValue */ protected $id; } /** @Entity */ class Bar { /** * @Id * @OneToOne(targetEntity="Foo") * @JoinColumn(name="foo_id", referencedColumnName="id") */ protected $fooId; }
CREATE TABLE Bar (foo_id INT NOT NULL, UNIQUE INDEX Bar_foo_id_uniq (foo_id), PRIMARY KEY(foo_id)) ENGINE = InnoDB; CREATE TABLE Foo (id INT AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(id)) ENGINE = InnoDB;
CREATE TABLE Bar (foo_id INT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(foo_id)) ENGINE = InnoDB; CREATE TABLE Foo (id INT AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(id)) ENGINE = InnoDB;
No, all the issues on this ticket. I branch them into subtickets if necessary.
Hi Benjamin - would you mind doing a merge from current master to
DDC-117 branch? Been using it for devel and it is working quite well but commit 140ddf5098a7ffdf6bc3 on Sept 27 causes a merge conflict. Looks like it is easy to resolve but it would be great if it could be merged into your DDC-117 so extra steps aren't required to clone/checkout DDC-117.
I updated the branch to integrate with the current master and attached a new patch to the ticket.
@S9e: Yes this is obvious, it works only with Sequence as ID Generation strategy (for example with PostgreSQL)
The problem is, during persist MySQL and SQLite don't know the value of the primary key yet. However for the @id + @ManyToOne patch to work it is necessary that all the dependencies primary keys are already known. That is why two step flush procedures are sometimes necessary.
1. persist non fk+pk entities and flush them
2. persist fk+pk entities then flush them
Merged into master and scheduled for 2.1.
Please test this patch extensively, there are tons of examples in tests/Doctrine/Tests/Models/DDC117 and tests/Doctrine/Tests/ORM/Functional/Ticket/DDC117Test.php
I have created a OneToOne relation on a User -> Profile where the profile is specified as the inverse side so i can have user_id be the primary key. And it all works as expected except that when i create a new User (The Profile object is getting created in the user constructor) and persist it (the relation have cascade-all specified) i end up with the error "The given entity has no identity.". But if i persist the user without creating the profile inside it and fliush and then create a Profile object and persist and flush that it all work.
It seems like it dosent know that the User should be saved first so that it have an id and then save the profile. Dont know if this is a bug or it is expected behavior.
expected behavior, you are using the id generator "assigned" which means on persist the id has to be assigned. In your case it isnt, because the related object has not been assigned an id itself, thus failing.

Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory disease that may develop after an infection with Streptococcus bacteria (such as strep throat or scarlet fever ). The disease can affect the heart, joints, skin, and brain.
Acute rheumatic fever
Rheumatic fever is common worldwide and is responsible for many cases of damaged heart valves. It is not common in the U.S., and usually occurs in isolated outbreaks. The latest outbreak was in the 1980s.
Rheumatic fever mainly affects children ages 6 -15, and occurs approximately 20 days after strep throat or scarlet fever.
Because this disease has different forms, no one test can firmly diagnose it. Your doctor will perform a careful exam, which includes checking your heart sounds, skin, and joints.
Tests may include:
Several major and minor criteria have been developed to help standardize rheumatic fever diagnosis. Meeting these criteria, as well as having evidence of a recent streptococcal infection, can help confirm that you have rheumatic fever.
The major criteria for diagnosis include:
The minor criteria include:
You'll likely be diagnosed with rheumatic fever if you meet two major criteria, or one major and two minor criteria, and have signs that you've had a previous strep infection.
If you are diagnosed with acute rheumatic fever you will be treated with antibiotics.
Anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin or corticosteroids reduce inflammation to help manage acute rheumatic fever.
You may have to take low doses of antibiotics (such as penicillin, sulfadiazine, or erythromycin) over the long term to prevent strep throat from returning.
Rheumatic fever is likely to come back in people who don't take low-dose antibiotics continually, especially during the first 3 -5 years after the first episode of the disease. Heart complications may be severe, particularly if the heart valves are involved.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of rheumatic fever. Because several other conditions have similar symptoms, you will need careful medical evaluation.
If you have symptoms of strep throat, tell your health care provider. You will need to be evaluated and treated if you do have strep throat, to decrease your risk of developing rheumatic fever.
The most important way to prevent rheumatic fever is by getting quick treatment for strep throat and scarlet fever.

Asparagus is best in spring. / file / the tennessean
You Asked For It
Melanie Anderson of Nashville is a fan of cooking extra at meals for putting in the freezer. She wants to know what types of recipes can be easily doubled.
Melanie, recipes for dips, spreads, salads, dressings, most sauces, sherbets, ice creams, stir-fries, stews and soups can easily be doubled. Do not double recipes for fragile cakes and pastries, soufflés and baked goods because youll tend to overmix and risk ruining the recipe.
Slender green spears seem to stalk me everywhere I go and Im thrilled about it. Fresh asparagus never tastes better than it does right now when its finally reasonably priced and in season. I have been working this delicately flavored vegetable into meals in many creative ways and cant seem to get my fill of it.
Look for firm, bright-green spears that have tightly closed tips. Any other time of the year, I gravitate toward whisper thin stalks because they are so tender, but now it really doesnt matter. The main thing you need to do is select ones that are similar in thickness so they cook uniformly. Depending on the thickness, youll have between 14 and 20 spears per pound, which will give you about 2 cups chopped.
Store them correctly and youll double the shelf life, so think of a bouquet of flowers. Store unwashed stalks in the refrigerator, upright in a tall, heavy glass with a couple of inches of water. Then cover them loosely with a plastic bag and change the water daily. This should keep them fresh for nearly a week thanks to the humidity you are trapping underneath the plastic bag.
You would never know it from the flavor, but asparagus is a distant relative of onions, leeks and garlic. It is grown for at least two full years before it is ready to harvest. It begins with what are called crowns, which are tangles of dormant roots, and likes sun-drenched areas of the garden.
Asparagus can be eaten raw, boiled, poached, blanched, steamed, stir-fried, grilled and microwaved, but I like it best roasted. No matter how you prepare it, make sure you dont overcook it. Check for doneness by piercing the base with the point of a paring knife. It should meet with a tiny bit of resistance. Salt, pepper and butter are the only embellishments needed.

EL PASO, TEXAS — Military officials say three Fort Bliss soldiers and one from Fort Stewart in Georgia were killed in Afghanistan by an improvised explosive device.
Fort Bliss officials said Friday that William Joseph Gilbert and Mitchell Kirk Daehling, both 24-year-old specialists from Fort Bliss, and 29-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Jeffrey C. Baker, a Hesperia, Calif., resident based at Fort Stewart, were killed in the Tuesday attack.
A Fort Bliss spokesman says a third Fort Bliss soldier was also killed in the blast but his identity was not immediately released.
Gilbert was from Hacienda Heights, Calif., and Daehling was born in Wyoming but most recently lived in Dalton, Mass.
Five other Fort Bliss soldiers were killed by a roadside blast in early May in Afghanistan.

Mike Wazowski, voiced by Billy Crystal in a scene from "Monsters University." / Disney-Pixar
"Monsters University" is one of those movies that has absolutely no reason to exist. But once you've seen it, you're kind of glad it does.
A sequel to "Monsters Inc.," one of Pixar's less-talked-about (if still quite good) movies? One that seemed to resolve itself just fine the first time around? Um, if you insist. But how?
There's always a prequel.
And thus is born "Monsters University," (2.5 stars out of 4; rated G) the story of how Mike (Billy Crystal) and Sulley (John Goodman) met. It's cute, funny, exciting to look at but not quite magical.
Three out of four ain't bad.
A quick refresher: In this universe, monsters generate power for Monstropolis, the city where they live, by the screams of children. Thus, all of those creatures under the bed and in the closet and things that go bump in the night actually exist. But monsters consider humans and their belongings toxic, so they keep their worlds separate. (That plays greatly into the plot of "Monsters Inc.")
Interactive: Meet the Monsters
That's a really cool premise, one whose novelty can't be replicated a second time. "Monsters University" suffers a little from our knowing what becomes of Mike and Sully, but not overly so.
All his life, it turns out, Mike has wanted to be a scarer, or one of the monsters who generates screams. We meet him as a child on a field trip, where his class visits the Scarefloor, which contains portals to the human world. He's immediately hooked.
Fast forward to Mike's first day at Monsters University, where he knows the curriculum inside and out. Other students might want to party and have a good time, but Mike is single-minded of purpose, with one goal: to study in the school's Scare Program. The only problem is that he's not scary.
Sulley is. He's a legacy, the son of a legendary scarer. He possesses a ferocious scream but not much else. He's content to coast on his family name and his natural skill, not self-aware enough to know that won't be enough.
So both monsters have talent, and both are limited. If only there were some way they could work together. �1/8
Mike and Sulley find themselves on the outs with the Scare Program, Dean Hardscrabble (Helen Mirren) and the prestigious Roar Omega Roar fraternity (led by a funny Nathan Fillion.) Their only shot at redemption is the Scare Games, a competition between Greek organizations that involves not just the ability to frighten, but several other contests, such as creeping past a 50-foot monster librarian, scary even to these creatures.
The predictability of mismatched characters working together to achieve a common goal is balanced somewhat by the realistic depiction of certain goals being out of reach, no matter how much you want to achieve them. You don't expect a movie like this to have an unhappy ending, and "Monsters University" doesn't. But it also doesn't have the pat resolution you might expect. For some people, things don't work out the way they had hoped. It doesn't mean something else won't, but the sting of that initial reality is realistically depicted.
The banter between Mike and Sulley, however, remains the best thing about these movies. Separately they are incomplete. Together, they're a formidable team. Not a perfect team. Far from it. But a team that works and rises above the sum of its parts.
Not an earthshaking lesson, perhaps, but one worth knowing. Even though it can never recapture the originality of the first film, "Monsters University" isn't a bad way to learn it.

I played decent [early in the season]. I didnt play like a top guy. I was just playing as a regular guy, I know what the coaches expect and I know what the team expects and I wasnt up to those expectations. I was just average. [Saturday versus Georgia] was a big game for me. To be able to step up and help the team, Ive been thinking about a lot of stuff like how can I help the team, how can I better myself, how can I better the team? By me performing the way I did, it just showed a lot of improvement. (11/2/10)
Will Hill, UF safety
From what Teryl Austin mentioned, this was Will Hills best game. We have been waiting for that all year. We have had some fantastic free safeties around here, starting with Reggie Nelson, Major Wright, to now Will Hill. Will Hill played very well tonight. (10/30/10)
Urban Meyer, UF Head Coach, on Hills two-interception game vs. Georgia
I think he's one of the better safeties in the country.'' (9/11/10)
Urban Meyer, UF Head Coach
Hes very much the same way in his talents and gifts. Hes got great range and the ability to do a lot of the same things Reggie did. (8/21/10)
Chuck Heater, UF Safeties Coach, comparing Hill to former Florida All-American Reggie Nelson
"I follow everything he does, learn as much as I can. He teaches me as much as he can so I just pay attention to everything he does and try to copy everything he does to the best of my ability. I want to make myself as good as he is, or try to get even better." (8/20/10)
Jonathan Dowling, UF safety
Hes going as hard as weve ever had a safety go around here. He and (Chuck) Heater have a really good deal going on back there. (8/17/10)
Urban Meyer, UF Head Coach
Good luck in finding a better safety tandem than Will Hill and Ahmad Black. (7/28/10)
Chris Low, ESPN.com
"He looks the best on the whole defense to me. He's playing the best. Me and [Brandon] Spikes were talking about it." (8/28/09)
Joe Haden, former UF Cornerback, current member of the Cleveland Browns
"He's doing what really quality players do. He's playing hard and finishing. A dramatic difference between now and a year ago. ... We have to get him on the field." (8/28/09)
Chuck Heater, UF Safeties Coach
"He (Coach Meyer) told me you're going to graduate from the University of Florida, you're going to win championships and then if you're good enough you can go to the (NFL). I like those odds, so I chose Florida." (8/21/08)
Will Hill, UF safety
"He came at me and told me the truth, the straight truth and nothing but the truth. He continues to do that. At first you say he's probably just telling me this, telling me that, but once you get here it's not like he changes and tells you now it's this. He's been telling me the same thing since Day 1." (8/21/08)
Will Hill, UF safety
Will Hill was one of the very highly recruited guys out of high school. Hes on campus. I look forward to watching him play. I hear good things from our strength staff about what kind of work ethic he has. (7/23/08)
Urban Meyer, UF Head Coach
He's dodged bullets, literally and figuratively. This could be the best thing for him. He just needs to get away from where he grew up and be on his own."
Rich Hansen, Hill's coach at St. Peter's Prep in Jersey City
Secondary was a huge priority and UF head coach Urban Meyer is bringing in the nation's top safety in Will Hill. Hill has fantastic range and will light you up. He should make an immediate impact at free safety in Gainesville. (2/5/08)
Jamie Newberg, Scout.com
Hes more athletic than (Florida State sophomore) Myron Rolle. Hill is more physical but hes not as physically ready. Hes super athletic, closes really well and hes able to stick his nose in there in run support. Hes going to be a physical kid. Hes talented enough where if they wanted him on offense he could play there but Florida is not struggling to recruit athletes on offense. Its not necessary. To my knowledge they havent talked to him about it. He could be their backup quarterback in goal-line situations if they need him to be.
Mike Farrell, Rivals.com Recruiting Analyst
"Hill is very explosive with the ball in his hands and an exceptional kick returner. Hill has very good speed and vision. He has great hips and can change directions well. Defensively, he shows great anticipation, can support the run and shows great range."
Jamie Newburg, Scout.com
"Will Hill is a devastating talent and is arguably the best prospect in this year's class, regardless of position. He shows tremendous quickness, elusiveness and burst for a 6-3, 205-pounder. He plays with great intensity and toughness, which is what I like about him the best: he is a pure football player, an electrifying game breaker. He will immediately impact the Gators as a punt returner and special teams player in my opinion. Hill has got the athletic ability and temperament to help the Gators immediately in the secondary as well, unless they choose to hold him back there and go with more experience early on. Once Hill develops his coverage skills at the collegiate level, he will be a force to be reckoned with for all offenses."
Allen Wallace, Scout.com
"Besides the fact that Will Hill is a phenomenal athlete, he is versatile. He is the type of player who could play multiple positions on either side of the ball. As a safety, he is essentially the quarterbacks of the defense making sure the schemes are run correctly and that everyone is where they should be."
Bob Lichtenfels, Scout.com
"Will Hill is a flat out special kind of football player. Exceptional football IQ and very savvy. Great leader on and off the field and extremely physical. Will has strong safety size with cover corner skill. Truly a unique player."
Rich Hansen, St. Peters Preparatory High School Coach
Obviously when you see him, he jumps off film because of his offensive production, but hes a tremendous safety. Tremendous.
Rich Hansen, St. Peters Preparatory High School Coach
"The thing that jumps out at you about Will Hill is his incredible combination of size and speed. He could probably play wide receiver or running back. He's also a dynamic kick returner with moves and acceleration you don't see in many guys his size. As a big (6-3) safety, he would give Florida a potential Louis Oliver-type.
