Results tagged ' Wally Joyner '
The results for the 2007 Hall of Fame are a week away and we here at "Inside the Chiefs" have our take on this years nominees:Ā of the 32 players eligable we have eliminated 13 right off the bat:Ā Gone are Dante Bichette, Bobby Bonilla, Scott Brosius, Jay Buhner and Ken Caminiti.Ā All were nice players but not Hall of Fame material.Ā Eight others, Albert Belle, Eric Davis, Paul O'Neill, Dave Concepcion, Wally Joyner, Bret Saberhagen, Devon White and Bobby Witt were a step above our first group but hardly need to stay on the ballot in future years.
The remaining nineteen players only Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken are assured of the 75% and above for induction.Ā That gives us 17 players that careers were good enough for consideration but could fall short once again.
Let's break it down by position:Ā Starting pitchers, Bert Blyleven, Jack Morris, Orel Hershiser and Tommy John.Ā Two played in Minnesota and two played in Los Angeles most of their careers.Ā Both Blyleven and Morris were dominant during their era with Morris getting a slight edge due to World Series titles.Ā Tommy John, like Jim Kaat pitched for 26 years and never was the best pitcher on his own team.Ā Hershiser was, but had his career cut short due to heavy work load early in his career.
Our Pick:Ā 1.Ā Morris, 2. Blyleven 3. Hershiser, 4. John.Ā Both Hershiser and John should be off the ballot with Morris and Blyleven still holding out hope.
Relief Pitchers:Rich Gossage and Lee Smith.Ā It's hard to argue on either one not going in.Ā Both were dominant with Gossage establishing himself as the most feared pitcher in the game in the late 70's and ealry 80's.
Our Pick:Ā 1A.Ā Gossage 1B.Ā Smith.Ā Both should receive 50% or more of the vote with Gossage having an outside shot of sneaking in this season.
Infielders:Ā The two shortstops Tony Fernandez and Alan Trammell played during the same period and were clearly the best in the American League in the 80's even though Cal Ripken also played in the AL during the same time.Ā Tramell received only 18% of the vote last season and is in danger of losing his place on the ballot.Ā Fernandez his equal probably won't receive much more support.Ā The other three infielders all played first base.Ā Don Mattingly was very good, but with only 13% of the ballot in 2006 seems destined to be gone.Ā Steve Garvey was also very good and played on championship clubs, something Mattingly never accomplished.Ā Garvey though never put up first baseman numbers.Ā McGwire cheated big time and that's enough for this voter to say no way.
Our Picks:Ā 1.Ā TrammellĀ 2.Ā GarveyĀ 3. FernandezĀ 4. Mattingly 5.Ā McGwire.Ā None of these five will ever see the Hall of Fame, but four of them played really good during their careers.
Outfielders:Ā Six big time names, Harold Baines, Dave Parker, Andre Dawson, Dale Murphy, Jose Canseco and Jim Rice.Ā All six one MVPĀ Awards, Rookie of the Year, HR, and RBI titles, etc.. Rice and Dawson have nearly made it each year falling just short.Ā Parker and Murphy combined, never get more than 25% of the vote.Ā Canseco and Baines are on the ballot for the first time.
Our Pick:Ā 1.Ā Jim Rice, 2.Ā Andre DawsonĀ 3.Ā Dave ParkerĀ 4.Ā Dale MurphyĀ 5.Ā Harold Baines and 6.Ā Jose Canseco.Ā Rice and Dawson deserve to be in now.Ā Parker had an equally great career and won World Series titles but will still fall short.Ā Murphy played in Atlanta and they never won when he was there.Ā Baines spent much of his career as a DH, but so did Paul Molitor.Ā Canseco like his bash brother McGwire cheated, but at least he admitted it.
Our top 10 Votes:
1.Ā Tony Gwynn
2.Ā Cal Ripken
3.Ā Jim Rice
4.Ā Andre Dawson
5.Ā Rich Gossage
6.Ā Lee Smith
7.Ā Alan Trammell
8. Jack Morris
9. Bert Blyleven
10.Ā Tony Fernandez

As 3D printers increase in popularity, more and more people are using them to bring their unique projects to life.
They've been used to manufacture everything from weapons parts (AR-15 lower receiver) to medical prosthetics (four-year-old Emma Lavelles "Magic Arms"), and now some are using them to bring new life to both old and new forms of recordable technology. In this case, 3D printing technology has been applied to restoration, and it only seems fitting that a relatively new invention was used to revitalize old recordings by prominent inventors from over 100 years ago.
Researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have used 3D scanning technology to restore some century-old recordings made by three notable inventors that include Charles Sumner Tainter (inventor of an early telephone transmitter), Alexander Graham Bell, and his cousin Chichester Bell. The three predominately collaborated to bring about what was considered high-fidelity for audio systems (notably their graphophone) back in the 1880s. The team experimented using various mediums for their recordings that included discs and cylinders made from beeswax and cardboard, brass, and glass. They succeeded in making a series of recordings (more than 200 of them) on glass-based discs, which were sent to the Smithsonian in an effort to preserve them. However, they never sent the playback device needed to listen to the discs which were then (over time) considered useless and left to decay.
Click the image below to see photos of 3D printing and scanning bringing life to old music.
Decay they did -- until the research team from LBL got hold of them. They brought them back to life through restoration and were able to play the recordings 125 years after they were made. To accomplish this, the team employed the use of a 3D scanner, known as IRENE (Image Reconstruct Erase Noise ETC), to non-invasively scan the discs and create a high-resolution image. They then processed the digital image, which pieces together the damaged disc and removes any errors (from wear and physical damage) after which specialized software calculates and recreates the engraving method (in this case a stylus used to etch the glass/wax) to reproduce the audio into a digitized format. The team was successful at recovering the audio from six Volta Graphophone discs and is looking to restore and preserve a host of early recordings from the Library of Congress. While giving new life to old technology using 3D scanning technology is certainly impressive, 3D printing is capable of converting the latest technology in audio into a medium very few still use.
3D printing technology will definitely appeal to those fond of still playing music (or any other recording) through LP records spinning along at 33rpm. Amanda Ghassaei from Instructables.com has applied the relatively new hobby of 3D printing to bring digital audio back to the record player. The LPs she produced aren't vinyl, but plastic, and was done using a Objet Connex500 printer with UV-cured resin with a high 600dpi resolution to create the discs layer by layer. In order to actually hear the audio, she had to forego using any CAD software (apparently they're not powerful enough for the complex 3D modeling needed to produce an LP).
Instead, she wrote her own program that automatically converts any audio file into a 3D model. She states that the software works "by importing the raw audio data which is then converted into the geometry of the record through software calculations (mostly done through open-sourced processing software), which is then converted into a 3D printable file format." So is the end result like listening to your favorite MP3 deposited onto a plastic disc with only a minor reduction in audio quality? In a word, no -- not even close. Think of it like listening to that pocket AM radio you had back in the 70s and you'll get an idea of the overall sound quality. This is because the audio quality is only a fraction of that of an MP3 with a sampling rate of only 11kHz with a 5-bit to 6-bit resolution. While converting digital audio files onto an LP will not create decent sound until 3D printing technology evolves higher resolutions, the fact that it can be done now (albeit with a lo-fi listening experience) is certainly an accomplishment and a step in the right direction of converting digital audio into an analog format. However, printing LPs isn't anything new as a few others have already done this.

On the eve of what could be the biggest day in S.C. Education Lottery history, an arrest was made after a quick investigation by the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division into a discrepancy found at the SCEL in early October.
"Appropriate actions have been taken and the accounting discrepancies have been resolved," said Paula Harper Bethea, SCEL's executive director in a release sent out Tuesday. "Anthony McNeil, accountant/fiscal analyst III, who was terminated from SCEL on Oct. 10, was arrested today in connection with the accounting discrepancies. According to our records and SLED's investigation, McNeil embezzled over $200,000 over a period of about two years. The instances were sporadic."
Bethea elaborated to the Aiken Standard on Wednesday, explaining the details of what was found to be a criminal act spread out over two years.
"I discovered the discrepancy on Oct. 5, placed the employee on administrative leave the next day and, by Oct. 9, I had SLED involved," Bethea said. "It was a longtime employee. You don't expect it, but you're always mindful of this."
According to the arrest warrant affidavit, McNeil was in a position with SCEL to collect payments owed from retailers. Over a two-year span he stole more than $200,000, leading to his federal embezzlement charge, officials said.
"McNeil accomplished this by the manipulation and altering of invoices to retailer partners of the South Carolina Education Lottery," the affidavit stated.
McNeil is alleged to have overcharged some retailers and collected less from others. He would then contact targeted retailers and advise them their payments were not collected and that they needed to deposit additional funds into an account – an account set up by McNeil that would end up generating $226,439, reports stated.
Bethea stressed that the retailers affected, of which there was about a handful, were compensated within about two weeks.
"We have paid every single retailer, so we are the victims now," Bethea said.
She was also quick to stress that at no time were the games or players affected.
"All SCEL games, players and prizes were at all times protected," Bethea said. "Although the tightest internal controls were in place, McNeil was intent and found a way to circumvent the procedures. Because of this incident, even more stringent additional monitoring procedures are now in place.
"The people of South Carolina and our lottery players can know that at no time was the integrity or the security of the central gaming system or any of our games affected," Bethea said. "Once we identified what occurred, we immediately began an internal investigation with our internal auditor. Within eight hours, this matter was turned over to SLED for a full investigation. We will prosecute to the full extent of the law, and we will seek restitution."

Cycling insanity, intersection mayhem, climate catastrophe.
Knowing that readers� attention span is sometimes limited, today�s column is subdivided into three sections. It�s kind of like watching �60 Minutes,� but without the commercials. And, other than segment three, this isn�t quite so pompous.
�It�s the first time I�d seen people stand in line for 25 minutes and be happy about it.�
The voice of Gaige Sippy, Iron Horse Bicycle Classic director who helped host a locals-only registration party at 5 p.m. Nov. 30, just five hours before online registration began for the 2013 ride and race. The party � a first-time event at Mountain Bike Specialists on Main Avenue � attracted about 200 entrants.
These couple hundred clued-in cycling enthusiasts were fortunate � if paying $95 for the privilege of pedaling 50 miles with 5,500 feet elevation gain can be defined as �fortunate.� At noon Dec. 2, just 36 hours after online registration opened, the road ride from Durango to Silverton was sold out.
�I think the locals appreciated it,� Sippy said of the party.
So if you�ve been Rip van Winkling, even for a few days, you�re out of luck. The 1,900 road ride slots are taken. A few of the 600 race slots are available, but only for women.
The 2011 Memorial Day weekend tour sold out Jan. 15. Last December, it took just six days to fill the 2012 tour, and Sippy assumed they�d reached a zenith. But as the entries rolled in on Dec. 1 and 2, he was blown away again. He�d refresh his screen, 30 more entries. Refresh, 30 more.
�This year it just went crazy,� Sippy said.
Those of us who didn�t register can continue to pig out over the holidays and watch tons of sports. Those of you �fortunate� enough to enter, better get out and ride.
Let me start this by saying that the reconstruction of Florida Road, begun in early 2010 and finished in May 2011, turned out just fine. It�s smooth for cars, it�s relatively safe for bicyclists and pedestrians, and how can you not love all those brown wooden fences? Yes, we got our $17 million worth.
So what�s wrong? OK, here it comes:
That intersection at Florida Road, East Third Avenue and 15th Street still scares the bejesus out of me. On a bicycle or in a car, it�s a crapshoot whether you�ll live or die.
Recently, I was driving up 15th and veering onto Florida, as another car headed toward me, turning left from Florida onto Third. The right of way was mine, but still I was on guard, taking nothing for granted at this crazy intersection. So I wasn�t too stunned when the car suddenly turned in front of mine; I mashed the brakes and avoided an accident. What stunned me was what happened next: The offending driver honked and glared at me!
Earth was moved, concrete dividers added and repaving completed during the reconstruction, but the improvement was miniscule. I just feel sorry for this poor crossroads � it�s always been so misunderstood.
Hope you weren�t expecting great things from the United Nations climate talks. It�s possible you didn�t even notice the two-week-long session in the Arabian Peninsula country of Qatar that concluded over the weekend. Global-warming discussions seem to fly under the radar � in the United States particularly.
The main sticking points are the amount of carbon emissions to cut and a battle over money: poor countries want rich countries to help fund their struggles against climate change.
Some stubborn folks are still stuck arguing about whether the Earth�s temperature is going up. I�m sure it�s just coincidence that most of those people have connections with carbon-energy-producing industries. Well, whatever. Common sense tells you that it�s possible that humans are having an effect on the mercury. And if that�s true, then shouldn�t we be doing something � especially considering the potential catastrophe if we don�t?
It�s easy to postpone things for a year, and maybe not much harm is done. But if you do that 20 times, and if the preponderance of scientists are correct about the Earth�s warming and what�s causing it, then you�ve really jacked things up.
Part of the problem is humans worry most about what�s in front of our faces. For the average person, that means jobs and families. For the media, that means Syria or the �fiscal cliff� or Duchess Kate�s baby.
It�s time to look down the road. Science and recent experience � Hurricane Sandy, a typhoon last week in the Philippines, quickly melting ice sheets � indicate that world weather is abnormal.
The legacy of this generation continues to erode. On everything from the national debt to health care to climate change, we keep punting the key issues. It�s embarrassing.
In the future, I�m afraid, we�re going to have some explaining to do.

CAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian presidential spokesman on Monday dismissed an apparent threat by the military to both Egypt's president and opposition that it would step in if political fighting descends into chaos.
The spokesman, Ihab Fahmy, told foreign reporters that the military's mission is guarding the borders and securing vital institutions, and that it has no intention to play any other role.
"There is a president ruling the country in a democratic way, and (through) democratic elections. We can't imagine that the army would come back," Fahmy said. "The army has one role – protecting the borders and securing the strategic institutions. There is no political role for the army."

Editor's literary record — From the September 1884 issue
Years ago, I lived in Montana, a land of purple sunsets, clear streams, and snowflakes the size of silver dollars drifting through the cold air. There were no speed limits and you could legally drive drunk. My small apartment in Missoula had little privacy. In order to write, I rented an off-season fishing cabin on Rock Creek, a one-room place with a bed and a bureau. I lacked the budget for a desk. My idea was to remove a sliding door from a closet in my apartment and place it over a couple of hastily cobbled-together sawhorses.

A team of European sexologists reported that 40 percent of Italian couples were not having sex, due in part to Italian men's declining sex drive and growing predilection for prostitutes and cybersex.
Telecommunications company AT&T agreed to buy Time Warner for $85.4 billion in a bid to find new ways to reach consumers, and hackers took control of Internet-connected cameras and baby monitors to overwhelm the routing company Dyn with traffic, causing worldwide disruption to outlets such as Netflix and Amazon.

"She never thanked me, never looked at me—melted away into the miserable night, in the strangest manner I ever saw. I have seen many strange things, but not one that has left a deeper impression on my memory than the dull impassive way in which that worn-out heap of misery took that piece of money, and was lost."

I was up early today and on the bus at 7:30am heading for Pyecombe, East Sussex and the start of the next section of the South Downs Way. After quick stop at the service station to pick up some drinks, I was striding up the side of West Hill.
From West Hill the South Downs Way leads down to Saddlescombe, which is a small hamlet, more like a large farm, owned by the National Trust. There is a tea-shop which is unfortunately closed on a Wednesday. There is also another unusual feature, a donkey wheel (shown below), which is a treadmill that was used to draw water up from a well.
It didn't really explore the farm, I wasn't sure if it was really open or not, but I wanted to press on. From Saddlescombe the path leads up Summer Down along the southern side of Devil's Dyke. Devil's Dyke is a well known beauty spot, with a fascinating history, which has been attracting sightseers for years, mainly due to it's proximity to nearby Brighton.
Devil's Dyke is a large dry valley (shown above), but the whole area has really adopted the name, as has the pub at the top of the northern side of the valley. A branch of the railway from Brighton used to bring visitors up the hill, where they could enjoy a variety of amusements, such as a cable car across the valley and a funicular railway that ran down the north slope of the hill.
From Devil's Dyke the South Downs Way runs west across the top of a succession of hills, Fulking Hill, Perching Hill, Edburton Hill and finally to Truleigh Hill. Truleigh Hill has also had an interesting history, from World War Two Radar Station to Cold War Bunker. Today it is best known as home to four radio masts (shown below) which serve as a landmark for miles around, especially at night when the warning lights at the top of the masts are visible.
From Truleigh Hill the path descends (mainly gently) down to the River Adur valley, near Upper Beeding. Across the other side of the river is the lovely little Saxon church at Botolphs (shown below), but I didn't have time to visit the church (and I have visited it in the past).
From near Botolphs the South Downs Way starts to head northwards, on the hills to the west of the town of Steyning, before turning westwards again heading towards the village Washington, with fantastic views across the weald to the north. Before reaching Washington the path passes Chanctonbury Ring (shown below), another famous Sussex landmark.
Chanctonbury Ring has a long history, with traces of a Roman temple, an Iron Age hill fort and a ring of trees that were planted in 1760 by Charles Goring of nearby Wiston. I had been straining for my first sight of Chanctonbury Ring as I approached, not only because it would prove some much needed shelter for me to sit and have a break, but also because it is like an old friend to me, whether up close or for miles around.
It also helped that Chanctonbury Ring marked the final high point of the walk and from here it was literally all down hill, from the top of Chanctonbury Hill down into the valley, just south of the village of Washington and a bus home (by way of Horsham).
According to the official guide book, today's walk was 13¾ miles, there were some quite challenging climbs in some quite hot weather (it wasn't supposed to have been so warm), although there were a few small diversions, such as the start at Pyecombe which took the total up to nearer 15 miles.
Some of those diversions were for trig points (I couldn't finish without a trig point), in all there were three trig points today, at Devil's Dyke, Steyning Bowl and the one shown below on Chanctonbury Hill just west of Chanctonbury Ring.

A recreation ground may seem like an unusual choice for a place for me to go walking, but I had been looking for something to do on Saturday morning before the start of the SFHG Annual Conference and had come across a mention of the recreation ground and decided it might be interesting to take a closer look.
Black's Guide to Sussex for 1898 gives the recreation ground a brief mention:
The building of many scattered villas and bits of streets has much cut up the heath, part of which will be found, to the east of the station, laid out as a pleasure-ground with paths and seats.
The idea that the recreation ground was the last trace of the heath from which the town got its name was what attracted me to it. I knew from the Ordnance Survey map that there wasn't much left of it, but it would still be interesting to have a look around.
The recreation ground is divided into two parts, the northern part largely consists of a well maintained cricket pitch and the southern part is a wild area of woodland, divided in two by the cricket pavilion and a children's playground.
To be honest there wasn't really much walking to be done, I could probably have walked around the perimeter of the recreation ground in fifteen minutes if I had really wanted to, but I had time to kill so I took my time, wandering at random around the paths.
The cricket pitch is quite interesting in that it looks like the ground has hollowed out, leaving a flat cricket pitch and an embankment on the eastern side, with a couple of paths running across the embankment which are dotted with benches. It is this cricket pitch which I had seen many times from within Clair Hall, but had never stepped outside to take a closer look.
The southern part was really what I was here for though. Given that it is surrounded by buildings on three sides (and a cricket pitch on the other) it is surprising rural in appearance. You are never far from a tarmac path but it didn't seem to be overly managed, there are a few patches of daffodils and bluebells but it is mainly just scrubby ground with a mixture of trees.
I was really surprised to very little sign of human activity, I had expected to find more litter, but perhaps it has not really been the weather for sitting in the woods and leaving your rubbish behind, perhaps that is more of a summer activity.
It is hard to say whether this patch of woodland is typical of the landscape of the original heath, it wasn't really what I imagine heathland to be like and I suspect it owes more to the victorian pleasure ground than the earlier heath.
It is however an interesting reminder of an earlier time, before the railways and enclosure caused the heath to be torn up. I feel sure that someone must have studied the history of the heath in detail before but my limited research so far has failed to turn up much information.
I really must make an effort to take a stroll around the recreation ground again in the summer when there are more leaves on the trees and the surrounding buildings will be less visible.

Last week I was a bit of a genealogical magpie, gathering all sorts of information from various places (mainly local libraries) and taking loads of photos. The problem is that I have taken all this "shiny" information back to my nest and not done anything with it.
This week I really need to get this information sorted out, transcribed and where necessary entered into my family tree. This week I am going to try not to gather any more information until I have sorted out all the new stuff that I have recently acquired.
- Sort out all the information I have gathered. Scan documents, transcribe my notes, update Family Historian and sort out the digital photos.
- Continue working through my digital files updating Family Historian and sorting out folders and standardising my filenames.
- Email East Sussex Record Office to find out which of the GEERING records I want to view are held onsite and which I need to order in.
- Attend the South Coast Family History Fair on Sunday 25th April 2010 at Worthing, West Sussex.
That should be enough for this week. I really need to get my notes sorted out, and will be happy if I can complete that this week.

It is week on from Who Do You Think You Are? Live 2011 and BBC Magazines (the new folks in charge of the show) want to hear your feedback on the show.
The following paragraph is taken from the Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine website:
If you visited this year's show, we hope that you had a fantastic time. The Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine team were there the whole weekend, and it was great to be able to meet so many of you – but now we want to know what you think. What was your favourite part of the event? What could the organisers do better next year? Let us know by emailing your thoughts to Matt Elton at email@example.com.
I will be sending Matt an email, but I thought I would share some of my thoughts here first. Overall I thought it was an excellent show, but it could be improved.
My favourite part of the show sounds a bit odd now I come to write it down, but standing upstairs on the gallery and looking down on to the ground floor and all the stands with hundreds of people wandering about. I have never thought of myself as a people watcher but it was great to see people exploring the show, wandering from stand to stand or purposefully darting to their next talk. It was reassuring to see so many people engaged enough in genealogy to make the effort to visit the show.
However, it wasn't all good, but most of my negative points are pretty minor, such as a shortage of tables and chairs and a lack of choice from the food vendors (from a vegetarian point of view). It appeared that the only cash machine in the building was out of order for the entire three days, although it didn't really bother me because I was there for three days and could get more cash before coming the next day.
My only real concern would be the content of the talks, there was a good mix of subjects but in my opinion the experience level seemed to be very much targeted towards the beginner. The time alloted for each talk (45 mins in most cases I think) was not really enough to go into much depth in any case. Whilst there are still aspects of genealogy where I am a beginner, I am sure there are plenty of others like me that would appreciate a few more advanced topics being covered.
The line up of talks also seemed short on technology related subjects, such as file management and of course blogging and other social media. Back to more traditional methods I would like to see some talks covering best practices like citing sources, organising paper files and making backups.
Having said all that, the talks are only one part of the whole experience and I will of course be back next year, hopefully for all three days but if not then for the whole weekend at the very least.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. –Jessica Ryan scored the game's only goal midway through the second half as Charlotte edged short-handed UNC Asheville 1-0 in women's soccer exhibition action Saturday afternoon at Greenwood Field.
The Bulldogs played the match without two of their top scorers from last year in junior forward Kaitlyn Eckert and sophomore Shenny Lenhart. Both missed the game due to injuries.
Charlotte controlled most of the match with a 25-6 advantage in shots, but Asheville head coach Michelle Demko was pleased overall with her team's play.
"Charlotte beat us pretty handily last year in our exhibition match. Today I thought we competed with them with only 60 percent of our team playing," stated Demko. "This is a good starting point for our club, and we'll only get better."
The Bulldogs had two goalkeepers in the match. Junior Heather Muller played the first half and kept the 49ers off the scoreboard with five saves. Sophomore transfer Suzie Zigante played the second half and made seven saves.
It was off a Zigante save that gave Charlotte the only goal of the match. Kaitlyn Walker fired a shot that Zigante blocked. The ball deflected to Ryan who knocked in the rebound to give the 49ers the only goal of the game at 65:04
Paige Trent had two shots for Asheville on offense.
The 49ers out-shot the Bulldogs 9-5 in the first half but really dominated the second half with a 16-1 advantage.
UNC Asheville opens the 2013 season at home this Friday afternoon when the Bulldogs host Eastern Kentucky at Greenwood Field starting at 5 p.m.

The annual school district report card released on Tuesday shows Aiken County students are improving overall, but more work needs to be done.
Overall, the Aiken County schools were rated Average once again, and improved its growth rating from Below Average to Good.
There were many success stories in the annual report from the S.C. Department of Education. Graduation rates are up, exit exam passage rates are up, end of course test scores are up for the most part.
One a disturbing note: On Palmetto Assessment of State Standards tests, local student scores lagged behind districts similar to Aiken County.
Its easy to look at these reports cards and make county-by-county comparisons. It tells an important story, but not the entire story. Each student is a unique individual with unique scores, abilities and desires. Each school is different. Education cant be a one-size-fits-all. Unfortunately, its the system we have, but rushing to judgment about a groups success or failure isnt always helpful.
The goal for school administrators is to dig into the information in these reports, find the successes and failures and use that to make improvements. They cant change the student makeup of a particular school, but they can dissect the data and learn from it.
Aiken County school officials have worked hard to make progress and it shows. Everyday we hear about innovative programs and success stories. Much of that is overshadowed by the negative news that comes out of these reports.
Overall, were proud of the work our students, teachers and administrators are doing. Yes, theres room for improvement and we trust that all school officials are working diligently to make each unique school better and each unique student more successful.

A graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, former Aiken resident Sarah Beaty spent six months this year in Macau – an administrative region of China, as is nearby Hong Kong.
Throughout that period, Beaty joined 40 other professional singers in performing opera and Italian popular music six days a week in a casino.
Not just any run of the mill casino. It's also a hotel and the sixth largest building of any kind in the world as part of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation.
"It was a crazy experience and I enjoyed it so much," said Beaty. "My favorite part was meeting new people, some I worked with and others I met that we were singing for."
The daughter of Renee Beaty of Aiken and Frank Beaty of Tampa, Fla., she currently is pursuing auditions in New York and Los Angeles – exploring opportunities in opera, musical theater, film, commercials and voice work.
While opera is her passion, Beaty does enjoy other forms of music.
"I'm still young at 24," Beaty said. "The voice for opera does not begin to fully mature until the late 20s or early 30s. I'm always making new discoveries as I simply get older."
After learning about the overseas position about a year ago, Beaty auditioned for the Macau trip and was accepted to perform from March through September. She was among 40 singers from throughout the world. The entertainment ensemble also included others musicians, including violinists, as well as stilt walkers and jugglers.
"I felt like we were living in a circus," she said.
Yet that doesn't begin to describe the hotel and casino, The Venetian Las Vegas takes on the look of Venice, Italy, and so does the Venitian Macao.
The Macao is overwhelming – a 40-story building that cost more than $2 billion. Canals are located throughout the building, and Beaty actually served frequently as a singing gondolier, rowing people around.
"They would dress me up as a princess with a hoop skirt and a fancy gown and crown," she said with amusement.
Throughout her stay, Beaty learned so much about the food and culture. She spent time in Japan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and The Philippines. She later visited Cambodia with her older brother Andrew, a Columbia University law school graduate currently clerking with a federal judge in New York.
Beaty remains thrilled at the chance to experience such memorable sites as the Great Wall of China and the ancient and massive Hindu Temple Angkor-Wat in Cambodia.
She was offered the chance to return to Macau for another year, but decided to return to the U.S. to focus on her career.
Beaty always enjoyed music throughout her childhood, both vocals and the violin. While in middle school, she moved to Aiken with her mother and brother. After enrolling at South Aiken High School, Beaty began studying voice with Catherine Stapleton Nance, the director of music at St. John's United Methodist Church.
Nance described Beaty as one of those rare students who comes along and is especially interested in classical forms of music.
"That's instead of the Britney Spears kind of thing," Nance said with a laugh. "Sarah loves the Italian repertoire and soaked up whatever I gave her."
Beaty was accepted into the Governor's School for the Arts in Greenville for her senior year of high school. Music had always been a valued hobby for her, but she wanted it to be a part of her life. Beaty worked with other talented musicians at the Governor's School, who had studied at conservatories and went on to teaching careers.
"As they nurtured me, their encouragement showed me that it was possible to have a career," said Beaty.
The instructors recommended good music schools, with Nance providing perhaps her biggest boost. During her own graduate school days, Nance worked with Joan Patenaude-Yarnell at the Manhattan School of Music.
"Catherine introduced me to Joan, and I just loved her and her style of teaching," Beaty said.
The Manhattan School enrolls each year only a total of 900 undergraduate, graduate and doctor students in all disciplines. Beaty was among just 20 students in her first-year voice classes.
"It was amazing to get selected," she said. "The real world started for me, four years of hard work. I made great friends, but we were ultimately competitive with each other in a healthy way."

The recent extended Diamond Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend gave my friend Chris and I chance to get out for a walk, unfortunately the less than ideal weather conditions meant that it was only going to be a brief walk.
Short of time we decided to head to Box Hill near the town of Dorking, Surrey. Box Hill is just a short train ride from Horsham and situated on the North Downs. If we didn't have time to get out onto the South Downs then the North Downs would have to do.
Box Hill is also going to be playing its part in the London Olympics. It is hosting part of the cycling road race (both the womens and mens races) and we were interested to see how preparations were going. The cyclists will be racing up and down Box Hill as part of the road race before heading back into London from whence they came.
They will no doubt appreciate the newly re-surfaced road, but the freshly erected signs will probably be no more than a blur as they whizz past, on the way from Dorking to the top of the hill.
Apart from the new road surface and signs there didn't seem to be a great deal to indicate that the Olympics were coming. There has been a bit of clearance along the roadside, where spectators will be crowded, but apart from that you could be forgiven for not noticing the approaching furore.
Of course the cyclists will not have time to enjoy the view from the top of Box Hill over the town of Dorking, Surrey. A view made all the better for the presence of a trig point. Nor will they have to experience the steep and slightly treacherous descent down the side of the hill, which was nice and slippery after the recent rainfall. Unfortunately that all means they will miss the joy of having to pick their way across the River Mole on the concrete stepping-stones.
The closest railway station is Box Hill and Westhumble, Westhumble is the village to west of the railway line and Box Hill is east of the station. It is a delightful little station which although short on facilities has quite a reasonable service. It's survival is probably down to its role as a gateway to the North Downs.
When we visited it was receiving the attention of railworkers, who were busy excavating the southern end of the station, presumably to enable extension of the platforms in anticipation of the increase in traffic that the Olympics will bring.
In a fitting tribute to forthcoming Olympic games the workers were taking part in a their own relay. Taking it in turns to push wheelbarrows full of stones and soil along the length of the platform the skip waiting outside the station.

I think it's our bench as awhile.that's where our biggest advantage are
We all know what we're getting from everyone, since they're all contributing pretty consistently. We have the best offense in the league, nobody can stop it defensively.
What teams can do though, is send us to the line.
That OKC game, Blake missed 2 key FTs, DJ went 2-8, CP3 (though I ain't worried about him shooting FTs) missed a crucial one as well. 21-34 from FT overall, and that's the game.
Yesterday King's game, DJ went 3-11 from the line.
I think the key is as simple as DJ and Blake being able to hit FTs. OKC and Spurs are both around 80%.
If we can shoot close to 77-80% at FT (right now at 73%), then we got a decent shot at winning.
Free throws and rebounding. Our guards need to do a better job preventing penetration.
Everything. If they play a tough well rounded game, nobody can beat them.
There will be different key(s) for different opponents, but if I had to pick one overall I'd say it's Blake and DJ defending our paint without fouling. We're already middle-of-the-pack in rebounding. Take out one of our top-2 guys and we're giving up more shot attempts, which is a definite no-no in the postseason.
I think you answered your own question by putting that last option in there, lol
I say "The Other Guys".... Chris will be Chris, Blake will be Blake, DJ will be DJ... Its the guys who "dont" draw the double team... Guys like Redick, Jamal, Collison, Granger and the rest of the guys.
it's gotta be blake. slowed down game in the playoffs means more emphasis on him in half-court sets. he had a nice regular season, but now is the time for him to truly make a name for himself.
Its all about Blake throughout the PO.
I don't consider this a "key" per se but I think we'll only have to face one of the top 2 teams, Spurs or OKC. With Memphis playing one of them in the 1st round, and with Houston playing San Antonio in the 2nd round, one of those teams will be upset I think.
I think it may be JJ. If he is moving well and hitting his shots, it is nearly impossible to defend this team.
I think the D will be good, especially with Doc and crew game planning.
So who do you think will be the x factor for our team in the postseason?
Aside from blake & cp3, who will step up?
matt barnes showed up last year vs memphis, jamal was underwhelming.
I hope Collison and Granger surprise us in a good way
JJ Redick!
Having said that we need Jamal to keep doing what he does.
Definitely Collison. He can cause problems for Parker and Curry.
Our bigs gotta be BIG, then everything else will fall in place, if bigs anchor our defense they don't stand a chance!
I think the X-factor for our team is our fourth quarter scoring for everyone not named Chris Paul. If everyone works hard to score and plays good team basketball without relying on CP or even Crawford to take over, we will be fine.
I think it's Deandre Jordan. Truthfully offensive firepower
has proven not to be a problem even with as many
injuries as we have had.
IF DJ continues to play like he has these last 5 or so
games we will be unstoppable.
His defensive activity has been great as of late.
Seems like he finally understands how to guard the
pick n roll without over trapping every time.
His offensive rebounds have been key as well. Timely
O rebounds and tap outs will give us the edge.
I think that DJ,Blake,Barnes,Jamal,and CP will step up as they are the returning core from last years debacle. They all will be locked in and ready to redeem themselves especially in the first rd.
Blake Griffin when the pressure's on. In the last 6 minutes, he needs to be pleading for the ball. If we run the Vinny offense with CP3 and Jamal isolating, I don't see us advancing far.
It has to be Jamal. He needs to play exactly how he has been playing all season. Hopefully he doesn't play like he did last year.
The defense is the most important thing. If they play great defense then I believe they can win the championship
Last year it can be argued that it was matt Barnes and I don't think he will regress and he's been balling it up. Our X factors I believe are DJ, Collison, and Jamal
I think there will be a few players to step it up in each series. I think Blake will impose his will then it will be CP3, while DJ maintaining consistent play. Predictions as far other players stepping up are: JJ against the Warriors, followed by Danny against OKC, followed by DC against the Spurs, and finally Jamal in the Finals (everyone pitching in all the games just these guys having great series against said teams).
Health. Simple as that.
You guys should watch the beat on nba.com for dark horses, Sekou and DA both picked the Clippers as the dark horses of these playoffs.
Our bench! For sure, we have the talent we just need to let it be known.
Its definitely gotta be CP3 time!!!
J.J. Redick is the key. The opponents will play trap defense on Chris Paul and force him to pass and then deny the return pass. The Clippers need a player to hit the wide open 3. J.J. is the best candidate. I assume that Blake and Jordan will continue to dominate the middle.
A few weeks ago, I would've said JJ. I mean it's still close for me. Everybody needs to do their job to get the win though. The most important in my opinion is DeAndre Jordan. Rebounds are gonna be very important. Especially with a lot of shooters around. No doubt we need CP3 and Blake. We're talking about the "X-Factor" though. DJ is the guy.
I am not worried about Blake Griffin, he will get his, but if we want to make a deep playoff run we need Chris Paul to also average around 23 points and then either JJ or Redick to score atleast 17. If this happens we will go far.
I "want" to say "the other guys". But Blake has to be Blake and CP3 has to be CP3.. If the bring it... I don't think anyone can touch us. Crawford and DJ are just as important. JJ finds his shooting touch again and we are unstoppable.
JJ not playing tomorrow.. Probably gonna get some good minutes tonight.
That bursa sac is absolutely disgusting right now..
How Many of you voted for DJ? He has been great so far

During Reggie's press conference, Doc was really hyping up what they are going to do with his shooting and defense after working him out and taking him through training camp, so it does really seem like he wants to play him. He moves off the ball well, so he can do a little bit of the off ball action.
Listened to the Doc interview, and he said he wants to use Blake more facing up but that they will still give him post ups when he has that positioning, which is fine. I actually think Blake's next step is becoming a more proficient face up player which is also tied to him becoming a better shooter. Gentry's experience with Phoenix will really help there in borrowing some of the ways they used Amare. A,are is a far superior shooter and face up player to Blake, but Blake is actually a far superior back to the basket guy and passer. If Blake had Amare's shooting and face up ability, combined with his finishing, back to the basket, court awareness and passing, he would actually be the league's best overall offensive player. People don't really realize this.
Doc, Reggie and all mentioned what I was saying earlier about Redick using screens. Off-ball guys like Ray, Rip, etc are creating shots with their off-ball movement and usage of screens. Not every player can do that. In addition it occupies the defense and draws defenders, so it opens up shots for the screener. I've mentioned the dump down pass a few times, I love that play. The screener runs off the screen, his man gets stuck, the opposing big man has to chose: stay with his man and Redick scores or come help and Redick makes a bounce pass to the open screen man who then has a clear lane to the basket unless the opposing big man helps which gives his big man buddy an open dunk/layup (dunk with the Clippers of course). Defense hates that play because if the defender can't stick, you're in trouble. I've seen J.J. do that a good amount with the Magic.
Doc also said he immediately called Crawford and asked him if he can do off-screen action because last year Crawford was more iso or spot up with Vinny. As much as we love it, we will probably see less of that this season. I like that, and I actually think it would benefit Crawford a lot if he can use screens effectively because he would still have the on ball and iso ability as a backup plan but it makes him harder to neutralize with a stingy on ball defender like a Tony Allen. Jamal's most effective half court set was spotting up (21.9% of his plays), true for many players (not Blake who was one of the worst in the league), his second most effective was off screens (12.3% of his plays). The bulk of his offense, 24.8% came from isolation, where he scored a respectable 0.95 pts/play and was 27th in the league. Pretty good, though he's no Chris Paul who had 26.2% of his offense from isolation, scored 0.99 pts/play and was 16th in the league.
The other interesting thing from the Stephen A interview is Chris again mentioning his love for Synergy sports website. Great site, but also great to see a player that watches the breakdown of his own and others game and is interested in seeing his effectiveness in different scenario's etc. If nothing, it can help you to see where you are weak and can improve, but it can do a lot more for a player, especially a PG. It can help you to scout new players on your team and see what sets make them most effective before you even get to training camp. It takes a way a learning curve of "oh, he likes curling more than fading off screens", "he prefers coming off coming off his right shoulder, not his left", etc. It can help you see where your teammates are most effective and how you can maximize those types of possessions for them.

Crawford, Gardner, Ross
The question I probably get asked more than any other this time of year is "what do you do in the offseason?" It's assumed by some that baseball writers go into a bunker for the winter and lounge around watching Oprah while eating Bon Bons. I can assure you that's not the case — I don't even like Bon Bons.
There will still be a lot of stories going up on Reds.com and MLB.com over the next few months. Many of them will be of the hot stove variety — which players are going where in free agency, trades, etc.? I often get a lot of questions from Reds fans that start salivating for the trendy expensive free agent.
The one player I can already tell will be asked a lot about this time around is soon-to-be free agent and about-to-be former Rays outfielder Carl Crawford. I have two words for you on that:
Forget it.
Crawford won't be wearing the Reds wishbone 'C' on his hat. Yes, he'd be the ideal guy that fits all of the Reds needs — leadoff type hitter, good defense, hits for average and has a high OBP. But even though he's never hit 20 home runs in his entire — all of this has reportedly added up to an expected $100 million contract on the market. After making such good use of their system for this past season, the Reds aren't going to get into that game now. And they're not going to win a bidding war vs. the Yankees, Angels, etc.
The Reds have vast pitching depth, especially starters. I do envision them cashing some of those chips to make a trade for a leadoff hitter. Not many guys are really jumping off of the page at this early stage. But if the Yankees signed Crawford, young Brett Gardner would make some sense if he became available. He'd be relatively cheap as someone not arbitration eligible. He batted .277 with a .383 OBP and 47 stolen bases this past season. He's a left-handed hitter and an outfield defense with Jay Bruce, Drew Stubbs and Gardner might be tough to top in the NL.
*Cody Ross is a popular dude with four postseason home runs and I tweeted last night about his very brief stay with the Reds. Ross was in Cincinnati for one month and played all of two games. He was acquired in April, 2006 from the Dodgers for LHP Ben Kozlowski and traded to the Marlins for cash in May. In his first plate appearance with the Reds, Ross was hit on the hand by a Roy Oswalt fastball and went on the DL. He played one game after that and was dealt when the Reds needed roster space to activate Kent Mercker.
Very quickly after that tweet, someone commented that the Reds weren't wise to let Ross get away. At the time though, he had 63 MLB at-bats with three teams over three years and a combined .190 average. The Reds outfield was crowded with Ken Griffey Jr., Adam Dunn, Austin Kearns and Ryan Freel. There were a ton of transactions that season and I know former GM Wayne Krivsky really liked Ross and didn't want to deal him. But he needed the roster space. It goes to show you never know what will become of some guys that simply come and go.
