Marysville-Pilchuck spring football gets team thinking fall ball
MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck football brings back some key talent this fall.
The league's leading rusher last year, Austin Denton, will be a senior. As will be all-league defensive end Brennen Steinbaugh and cornerback Chris Larson.
But there are also some glaring holes. Who will round out the running back corps that punishes defenses for focusing too much on one player? Who will step in for the all-league, all-senior offensive line that won the respect of opposing coaches? And who will be making the calls in the huddle?
"That's what camp's about, trying guys out," said M-P football coach Brandon Carson, who is gearing up for his third season running the Tomahawk program that finished the regular season undefeated last year, 9-0.
The two-week camp wrapped up June 12 in a two-day session for incoming freshmen. Then, the team goes on to Willamette University in Oregon later this month, where they'll fine tune and match players to holes.
Leading the team through camp June 9 was captains Zach Hanson and Brett Parsons. Hanson backed up senior quarterbacks Devin Peterson and Nick Forsythe last year and was one player to take snaps under center as the team went through offensive plays. Parsons is one of five underclassmen who garnered league recognition last year, playing defensive tackle. He was also listed as a center.
Carson said he looks to his veteran players like Hanson, Parsons and Larson who know what camp is all about to lead the team.
"Those guys are having a great camp for us," he said. "We're having a good time out here, getting our fundamentals taken care of."

NEW DELHI: Encouraged by the WTO ruling against the U.S. countervailing duty on certain Indian steel products, the government said it is undertaking an evaluation of all other products on which America has applied the same provision to impose CVD.
"The government is undertaking an evaluation all other products of Indian origin on which the U.S. has applied the same provision to arrive at CVD," the Commerce Ministry said.
This provision, it added, has been in existence in the U.S. for many years and India is the first country to successfully challenge this provision.
The U.S. Department of Commerce (USDOC) had imposed CVD on India's exports of hot rolled carbon steel flat products.
The measures continue to be in force and adversely impact the Indian exports, the Ministry added.
The World Trade Organisation Dispute Settlement Panel has held that the US law mandating cumulation of non-subsidised imports with subsidised imports while determining injury in a CVD investigation is inconsistent with WTO obligations.
The panel also held that the U.S. had no factual basis to hold that the grant of mining rights for iron ore and coal was a subsidy.
It has also found that the U.S. should not have ignored market prices available in India while determining the amount of subsidies, if any.
"The Panel has also held that the United States was not correct in applying adverse facts standard in 73 out of 85 instances for imposition of penultimate duty," the Ministry said.
The WTO body could not consider some of India's claims such as those relating to the methods of calculating the amount of subsidies and one relating to the application of adverse fact available.
The Panel has also not accepted India's claim that NMDC was not a "public body" within the meaning of WTO law, disregarding the previous ruling of the WTO Appellate Body in another WTO case.
"The ruling is appealable before the WTO Appellate Body and the decision to appeal against the same is currently under active consideration, in light of the systemic concerns on some of India's claims denied by the Panel" the Commerce Ministry added.

be honest, i dont usually get hurt by bad comments.
first of all, i am an asian, male, and living in florida. come america 3.5 years ago. but not planing on take TOFEL
my stats is here..
please go check it, but college list means nothing there. that was hard to change, hard to maintain.
i didnt take serious SAT1 yet(although i took SAT2 Physics;760 and Math 2c;800), but i predict at least 760 to 800 on math. I am working on verbal. i took a PR practive test(2002-2003 SAT/PSAT) a week ago and got about 580, but trying to get something about/better than 700 (but i am sure i can get at least 650~680 :-) i know it's really fuzzy but help me out guys ^_^
following is my RUFF list. i would like to go BME major(and perhaps double major with something else), and i prefer a urban-city with alot of creativity. size or college life stuff dont matter much for me. but i cannot be in extreme conservative environment.
Reach-Reach :: Harvard College, Yale,Ā MIT
Reach :: University of Penn, Duke, Johns Hopkins University, Columbia SEAS
Reach-Match :: Chicago College(, Rice, Northwestern, Harvey Mudd
Reach-Match-Match :: Tulane, Notre Dame, New York Univ
Match-Safety :: University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, UC San Deigo(2), Georgia Institute of Technology, Boston College, UF, Emory
i am thinking about ED to Columbia SEAS(because i love NYC, but open to any suggestions about other GREAT BME undergraduate in urban, that i might have some chances.)
and ALSO love to hear about my chances.. do i have a shot at Columbia SEAS or MIT or so on.. anything about my college list / my score and grade / chances would be appriceaed
attack me harshly -0-

Why not cross reference with ratings for BME? That should help narrow your choices
|By Benzinspeicher (Benzinspeicher) on Saturday, August 21, 2004 - 05:37 pm: Edit
apply to Carnegie Mellon and Rensselaer
|By Dreaming2005 (Dreaming2005) on Saturday, August 21, 2004 - 06:03 pm: Edit
JHU, UCSD, Duke are top 3 BME schools(graduate though) according to US NEWS, however i saw many CCers saying at undergraduate level there isnt much difference between school placed on 3rd and other placed on 10th.
do i have any chance to IVY or very selective BME programs??
|By Dreaming2005 (Dreaming2005) on Sunday, August 22, 2004 - 04:13 pm: Edit
|By Carolyn (Carolyn) on Monday, August 23, 2004 - 04:32 pm: Edit
UCSD should not be considered a safety if you're an out of state applicant. It's highly competitive for out of state applicants. I'd say you should consider it a match/reach. If you're applying to UCSD this year, you will need to take the SAT II writing test as well.
|By Dreaming2005 (Dreaming2005) on Thursday, August 26, 2004 - 10:45 am: Edit
i will take SAT1 on Oct. and SAT2 on Nov.
SAT would be somewhere 770m and 680v.
and SAT2 Writing would be at least 640.
need more advises, speculation and verbal attacks. :P
|By Sailorjane (Sailorjane) on Monday, August 30, 2004 - 09:56 pm: Edit
I think it's a little weird that you consider Emory and Boston College Safeties, and Tulane a match ... I would probably put it the other way around, also, I believe Notre Dame is pretty difficult to get into ... that's about all I have to say, except that all the schools on your list are great. I think your list could be re-organized, but good luck, you've got some tough ones.

Home Sweet Home
I've been away so long I forgot how to input my photos so that they enlarge…so, don't bother clicking on this one. I haven't been in my blog since March. Home still isn't quite as sweet as I would like it. My office and back bedroom are filled with the start of my cleaning out project where the "out" never happened. Worse, I'm starting to wonder why I'm blogging.
My sister and I arrived here on February 15th and she started therapy three days later. The first few weeks were chaotic. We slept in the living room while her room was made ready and we were adapting the house for safety reasons.
Although my garden looked sweet to someone coming from cold, snowy Connecticut, I thought it looked like crap. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and my sister likes it (what? she likes to see a lot of bare dirt?).. .but truly it's the management that matters most. I wasn't here in February to prune my roses. I told them all they just have to make do this year. Pitch in with their best performance despite my neglect.
We have therapy appointments five days a week, doctor's appointments, tests, shopping, laundry, cooking – I'm cooking for a diabetic and consulting with an expert on insulin – tricky stuff, insulin – doing the therapy homework….there's just so little time left in the day that me-the-night-owl, who stayed up until two in the morning….I'm in bed by ten.
Brain plasticity is an interesting thing. We take for granted that it's our brain doing everything for us automatically. When a part blows out, you have to build new motor pathways going the wrong way. An affected limb has to be worked enough to get the signal to the brain, and worked enough again and again to get the brain to retain the information.
Take a step? I never think about it, I just do it. Hold a glass and drink from it.? I just do it. With my sister, we go through the motions time and again training some other part of the brain to take over the job of holding a glass or taking a step. In therapy sessions the therapists stretch all the sticky joints and invent bizarre ways to play with the brain to encourage it to notice it's got two sides of a body to recognize and control.
Despite the extra work I'm really glad to be home and my sister is happy.

Hi, I'm an acquaintance of Marlene Park – got to know her on a recent trip to SF. Really like your photos AND your writing from the heart style. I took care of my dad after a stroke. It is daunting, but many do make a nearly full recovery these days. (He did not, but was more than ready to go.) Ask your doctor what to do if a seizure comes – he started having many and they told me only after he was gone that this was not uncommon among stroke victims. Hope it is not a card your sister holds, but important to add to your list of self-education projects.
# Suzion 29 Jun 2010 at 10:33 pm
Thank you so much for your kind words. And you're right, it is daunting. It's a full time job (as you well know!) We are very lucky that Santa Cruz is the therapy capital of the world..we have fabulous therapists and we're making slow but steady progress!

In this week's show we look at cycling and the media. Do newspapers, TV and radio do justice to cyclists? Does it matter? As more and more people get on two wheels, is media coverage of cycling changing at all? Featuring comment from Buffalo Bill who runs the Moving Target zine and Matt Seaton who writes about cycling in The Guardian newspaper.
2 thoughts on "20 February 2006 show: Cycling in the media"
Another interesting show Jack-
Thanks for bringing Matt Seaton's excellent column to our attention- something I hadn't come across before, as I don't usually bother reading the Guardian's motoring pages. It makes a good print partner to the bikeshow.
I have to disagree with "Buffalo" Bill's criticism of Matt's 'Ipod' story. I suggest Bill should read the article and he'll realise Matt is 'one of the good guys' and he isn't attributing the blame to the cyclist (for wearing an ipod) as you said.
I felt it was responsible for Matt to maintain a level of caution regarding advising against wearing headphones, and he strikes an even balance unlike the articles in the Mail.
Rather hypocriticaly I heard this show as a podcast on my commute home, but fortunately maintained presence of mind to make it home safely.
check the rest of Matt's columns here:
thanks, Mark. the debate goes on at http://www.movingtargetzine.com ….

In a letter to House Speaker Sam Smith, DeWeese said he is resigning effective at noon Tuesday, less than two hours before his hearing at the Dauphin County Courthouse, said Smith's spokesman, Steve Miskin. Legislative offices were closed Tuesday because of the primary election.
Smith received the letter Monday and it will be read into the House journal when lawmakers reconvene Monday, Miskin said.
DeWeese, 62, spent much of his House career as the Democratic leader and also served a stint as House speaker.
He had said he would resign from the Legislature before he is sentenced for illegally using state employees and other public resources for political campaigns between 2001 and 2006.
A jury convicted DeWeese in February on three counts of theft and one count each of conspiracy and conflict of interest. The state constitution bars felons from serving in the General Assembly, but that ban is not triggered until the sentence is imposed.
The state attorney general's office Monday urged Judge Todd Hoover to sentence DeWeese to a prison term that exceeds sentencing guidelines, saying his assertion of innocence and his ongoing campaign for another term after a jury convicted him of corruption are "flagrant expressions of contempt" for the judicial system.
In Tuesday's primary, DeWeese was unopposed for the Democratic nomination for another term in the next Legislature.
Regardless of the legal developments, his name will stay on the ballot for the general election unless he withdraws it by the Aug. 13 deadline. If DeWeese wins in November, he may not be seated unless an appellate court overturns his conviction before lawmakers take their oath in January.
DeWeese, a legislative maverick known best for his grandiloquent floor speeches, was the only sitting legislator to stand trial in the attorney general's five-year state corruption investigation that resulted in 25 arrests of people connected to the House Democratic and Republican caucuses.

I do not agree with the theology behind the phrase 'darkness and corruption' - it spoils the poem for me. This is a pale version of Shakespeare's Sonnet 74 'But be contented when that fell arrest/Without all bail shall carry me away...' (Report) Reply

When I found this poem about ten or so years ago I did not know that I would be reading it at my grandfather's funeral. But I am, because it fits his motto perfectly. He didn't want any of us to cry for him and would rather us smile. But I am crying for now because he is finally free from pain and the tears are of miserable happiness and relief. He is at peace.

After 20 years together, my wife Susan was diagnosed with a brain tumor in Nov 2005 and died in Jan 2006. The high school at which she taught English wanted to plant a tree in her memory. While looking for a baby book to get a lock of her hair to place under the tree, I found a sealed envelope addressed to me. Inside was a page torn from a paperback book with this poem, 'Remember'. On the page she had written, 'To Rick...all my Love, Sue' It was dated Nov 8,1992.
Remember Sue...

Have you ever wanted to stop people from throwing down their items? If so, then this is the right plugin for you! An example of when this plugin would be useful is if you have a hub server or a server with a main spawn world (can be minigames or survival!), then this plugin will stop people from dropping the items that you give them (to teleport to minigames, vanish players, etc)..
=== Commands: ===
No commands! Just install and people will not be able to drop items!
=== Installation: ===
Simply drag and drop into your \plugins directory and reload or restart your server and you're good to go!
If you have a server that is not a hub server and you want this plugin only to be effective on your spawn world, then install PerWorldPlugins (click the link!), then limit NoDropItems only to your spawn world.
=== Permissions: ===
No permissions currently (coming in the next update), for now op players will be able to drop items, and non-op players will not be able to drop items.
=== Configuration: ===
The only option currently in the config is no-drop-message-on, and if this is set to true, players will receive a message whenever they try to drop items, and if this is set to false, players will not get a message whenever they try to drop items.
=== Changelog: ===
- V1.0 - Plugin released!
- V1.1 - Added a config and the ability to turn off the no drop message
=== Future Plans: ===
- Add permission for players to bypass NoDropItems without being op
- Add options to the config (such as what the no drop message should be)
- Leave a comment or PM me about what you would like to see in the future!
=== Pictures/Videos: ===
This is the area for future pictures and videos, when I get around to making them. ;)

The EPA released the report more than a week ago; The assessment stated current national background levels of dioxins will not cause significant health problems. In high enough levels the manufacturing byproduct can cause health problems in children and adults.
In a poll, 58 percent of responders voted "The report does not treat dioxins as the harmful chemical they are." A further 16.4 percent of voters believe the report is useful and will aid in cleanup of sites such as the Saginaw and Tittabawassee rivers site, and 14 percent say the report comes too late to make a difference.
One voter supplied the answer, "Nothing but a bunch of politics," while another wrote, "Forget it and move on."
Many commenters say the EPA and Dow Chemical Co, which caused some of the dioxin contamination in Midland and Saginaw counties, do not do enough to correct the pollution.
One commenter acknowledged the complexity of the issue.
What do you think? Join the conversation.
A 344 page report is not one that is easily read , understood, or absorbed......much like the more lengthy 1994 Dioxin Reassessment Draft, this document presents much factual evidence as reviewed by people who spend their lives in such pursuits...Arnold Schechter MD, from the University of Texas one of the editors of DIOXINS and HEALTH, and Linda Birnbaum PhD from the National Insititute of Environmental Health Sciences are just two of them.....The complicated science behind dioxins has been a 35 year discovery still evolving as researchers from around the world continue their work....our own MSU center for Integrative Toxicology under the direction of Norbert Kaminski ( a member of the National Academy of Science team who reviewed the 1994 Dioxin draft which review led the EPA to do this clarification report) is involved with critical research to help us understand how and at what levels dioxins become metabolically active . Many questions still remain but it is true that dioxins CAN and DO interact within human metabolic pathways that can lead to a number of health consequences...It is also true that many people who have been exposed to dioxins have not been affected by that exposure in any recognizable way,,,this statement neither takes away from the toxicity of dioxin nor provides reassurance ....and the EPA report is simply stated ...a report by an agency whose role was established in 1970 by the US Congress and was further solidiified in 1980 and 1986 with CERCLA and SARA....acts which focused on toxic industrial sites ....................

Hello tower guru's
It's hard to tell exactly from the dwgs, but it looks like the hinge is about 2.5' from the bottom, and 7.5' from the top.
Also, how many sections of R25 can be placed above the FO section? Weight at the top is aprox. 110 lbs.
From 1996 catalog:With hinge to apex distance of 25.5', dead weight limit at apex is 130#.
With hinge to apex distance of 35.5', dead weight limit at apex is 100#.
See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more. Call Toll Free, 1-800-333-9041 with any questions and ask for Sherman, W2FLA.

As the NBA Finals resumes later on tonight, we resume our own tournament here at Redsarmy.com. The Celtics and Knicks battled several times this season in thrilling fashion during the playoffs and the regular season. Our 10th seed takes us back to March at MSG where Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett earned several Tommy Points while showing us all what being a Celtic is all about.
Matching up against that spectacular effort is another crisp fast break that was executed out in the Bay Area by Rondo and Paul Pierce. Previously we saw a fast break where the ball never touched the floor, and this time Pierce caps it off with one of his many signature slams this season, this time at the hands of Ekpe Udoh and Reggie Williams.
Seed # 10: Rondo and KG Earning Tommy Points - Glen Davis scrambles underneath the hoop for the ball and kicks it out to Ray Allen who misfires on a baseline three. It seems like a typical long rebound heading out of bounds with Amare Stoudemire making a weak effort to the ball. Rondo comes out of nowhere and outruns Amare, firing the ball off of Stoudemire and keeping the possession for the C's.
Next, as Chauncey Billups tries a routine bounce pass off a screen and roll with Amare, it goes off Rondo's foot and heads towards the back court where KG and Amare both dive for the ball, and KG is able to tie up the ball with Amare and force a jump ball. Great hustle plays by both Rondo and KG.
Seed # 55: Rondo and Pierce Just Golden against the Warriors – KG grabs the rebound off the missed three and delivers a perfect outlet pass to Rondo who is already in 5th gear out on the break. Rondo then spots a streaking Pierce on the 2 on 1 break, and P slams it home over Reggie Williams and Ekpe Udoh. (Note: Ray Allen's Absurd three took nearly 86% of the vote in the previous matchup to move on).

By sheer volume standards, the place had not been this loud but possibly half a dozen times in its life of a dozen. The 2001 NBA finals. A few scattered Flyers playoff games.
And maybe one previous college contest five years ago, a blizzard-bound blowout of 22-1 and top-ranked Kansas that announced another type of revival -- the resurgence of Villanova hoops.
The man responsible for the revival stood in the back hallways after the requisite postgame news conference, as he always does, and brightly engaged in easy conversation with friends and reporters as his wife, Patty, and three school-age kids waited. He hung out for as long as it took. Effortlessly. Until no one remained.
That's Jay Wright, a low-drama "people person" in a sport overrun with hard-pitch salesmen, slippery, slick-backed nomads and ulcered micro-managers. Nothing about him fits the usual mold. He's like the perfect talk-show guest -- always warm, interested and inquisitive, agreeable even when contradicting, with just enough humor to make him human.
"You know what's cool now is, when they do the introductions, you can tell it's all our crowd," he marveled when asked about the Wachovia atmosphere. "Didn't used to be."
And is this not recruiting gold? A deafening, college-atmosphere crowd in an NBA arena?
"We always try to bring our recruits here," Wright said. "Actually, the NCAA told us a few years ago we couldn't bring recruits to games here, that it was a neutral site. We appealed and said we played five games here a year. They OKd it."
Hm-mm. Then maybe that NCAA regional here last year shouldn't have included the Wildcats if it's a home site, eh?
He laughed. "I don't know if we can do that again. I'll keep my mouth shut about that." Ahh, yes. Mister Charming has 'em coming and going.
Three things about Jay Wright you notice right away:
First, he's one good-looking man. He's so handsome even guys will acknowledge it. And some women lose their minds.
My wife returned from Wegmans a couple of years ago after having bumped into a meet-and-greet he was doing there -- yes, at a grocery; he does this sort of thing -- and was a little quivery and giddy upon her return, mentioning this coach from Villanova she'd never seen before. Trust me, my wife barely knows what I do for a living. And here she was quizzing me about a college basketball coach.
This is the best part: I ask her if she spoke to him or mentioned me and she said, "I don't know," she said, giggling like a schoolgirl. "I guess I was too nervous to talk to him. He was too good-looking."
So there's that. Second, he dresses like some guy in a menswear catalog. The kind you see in a stilted pose acting as if he just recognized a friend over on the other side of a large room. And the thousand-dollar suits he wears embrace him just like those guys. No rumples. No irregular surfaces. Lines like a sports car.
Maybe most important, Wright makes you feel good to meet him. Then, he acts as if meeting you was a significant event in his day.
This has been a potent quality in the only area that really matters in college athletics -- recruiting. Wright has been on a tear the last seven years. And no one in college basketball has stockpiled more formidable talent than he has now on a team that could be ranked No. 1 in the nation Monday morning and has a legitimate shot to win the national title.
Reporters made cynical by too many sharpies populating the coaching game still are not sure if it's genuine or an act. I've dealt with the guy on and off since he recruited Seth Meyers from Steel-High 18 years ago and have never met anyone like him.
"The problem is, sometimes people don't believe he's for real," said Hofstra head coach Tom Pecora, who worked with Wright on two staffs. "I've defended him more times than I can count. People just doubting he's genuine and say, 'Look, the guy's got to be full of [bleep]. He can't be that nice a guy.'¤"
Wright recruited Meyers to UNLV as a Rollie Massimino assistant and then took him back to Hofstra a year later as a transfer when he got his first head coaching gig at the little college on Long Island. Going back with him was New York native Pecora, who ended up succeeding Wright in 2001 as the Hofstra head coach.
Pecora has the same personable manner as Wright but with an NYC edge typical of the urban hoops coach. More than eight years later, he still keeps in close touch with Wright and Patty, who met when both were marketers with the USFL's Philadelphia Stars in the mid-1980s.
"I'd always tell him, 'Jay, there's people with white hats and black hats in this world. And they have to be dealt with accordingly.' Patty and I used to double-team him," Pecora said. "He'd just laugh and say that's the New York in you. He thinks, down deep, everyone wears has a white hat."
Wright laughs when told this. He admits: "We all have weaknesses. One of mine is that I trust everyone. I believe everybody's got good intentions.
"I get burned sometimes. But at least, when I get burned, I learn. And I have Tom and my wife to protect me."
It's his style that sometimes almost demands Wright be misjudged. The casual observer can become confused. Because there's style, there must not be substance. That's a common conditional statement of our society.
In fact, in life's most important realm – involvement with, and judgment of, others – Wright is more substantive and less stylish than maybe any major college athletic coach. Already, his recruiting legacy bares that out.
It's very easy for grown men, many in their fifth or sixth decades, to believe that attracting teenagers to their programs can depend upon the bamboozle, the flash and dash or hard pitch so typical of the trade. Wright is not above some tricks himself. In 2003, he had a limousine drive him to the modest North Philadelphia home of recruit Kyle Lowry for an official visit.
But when it comes to meeting and talking with people, Wright is merely connective, attentive and without pretense. He's just fully and unaffectedly himself.
"He has an innate ability to look at people and read their character and psyche," said Navy head coach Billy Lange, a former Wright assistant at Hofstra and Villanova. "That's why kids play hard for him."
Wright with Pecora as his lead assistant double-teamed the recruitment to Hofstra of scoring point guard Speedy Claxton, who would later have an NBA career. Claxton's maturity and skill would ultimately reward Wright with his ascension to Villanova and Pecora with the Hofstra head coaching job.
Claxton was like that first gem-in-the-rough client for the struggling agent. It didn't hurt Wright and his young staff that when Pecora and No. 2 assistant Joe Jones first saw Claxton play his sophomore year at Christ the King High, he was by Pecora's estimation "about 5-foot-5 and 115 pounds." And he was surrounded by more sought-after teammates such as Erick Barkley, Lamar Odom and Ira Miller who made him all but invisible to the big-fish schools.
"None of us knew he was going to become what he became," Pecora said. "But he was the most competitive kid we'd ever seen. And when Jay got a look at him, he recognized that immediately."
Wright clicked with Claxton's intelligent, well-educated family from the Caribbean island of Antigua, and their son committed after his junior season. Only one caveat. His coach at Christ the King had a standing guideline that none of his boys sign letters of intent until after their senior years were completed and it could be concluded their chosen college coaches weren't leaving for another school.
Wright wasn't going anywhere; the Hofstra Pride weren't winning much yet. Still, he had to spend an entire year fending off the wolves from major Big East programs as Claxton evolved during his senior year into a premier point guard.
He did it by engendering a sense of freedom in the Claxtons.
"Jay worked the parents," Pecora said. Then he caught himself in a bit of coarse coach-speak. "That's not the right term. He became close with the family. And during the process, one of the things Jay would say was, 'Look, if you don't want us, and you think somewhere else is going to be better for your son, if that's the way it's got to be, then that's the way it's got to be.'
"Now that was driving us [Pecora and Jones, the assistants] crazy. But he was making himself genuine to them. And he was the only head coach who'd been involved with them hands-on for a long period of time."
Wright said his fatalistic attitude at the time wasn't part of any master plan. He was just out of ideas:
"We kind of shot all our bullets to get [Claxton] to commit. There were days when five other recruits were playing but we sent our entire staff to watch him play at a park in Queens. That's how important he was to us.
"Once he started to 'blow up,' he was so big, he was almost the best player in New York. It was out of our hands. We had nothing left we could do. I just had to take Speedy and his family at their word. I kept talking to them and they kept reassuring me, 'It's gonna be all right. It's gonna be all right.'"
When signing day arrived, their word was good. Claxton became a wonderful college player. The Pride won the America East Conference two years running and played in the NCAA tournament in 2000 and 2001. That led directly to a hasty call from then-Villanova president Rev. Edmund Dobbin, one day before Wright was to sign a contract to be Rutgers' head coach.
"To this day, Jay is involved in recruiting," said Pecora. "He enjoys the process. And I think that's why he's so good at it. He gets to meet people and he's a people person."
The Nova Nation concept of a family atmosphere where all the former players and alums are welcomed back is something Wright has consciously worked on. Consider that one of the player parents in that crowd last Sunday was none other than Lowry's mother Marie Hollaway. Her son has been gone from the program for four years and is getting 20 to 25 minutes a game as the backup point for the NBA's Houston Rockets. He's bought her a nice, new house in south Jersey.
So, what was she doing at this game?
"It is family. When you're there, they make you feel like you're still as important a part of it as anyone else. Once you're a part of it, you can't not be a part of it."
There's also a certain degree of gratitude in Holloway's voice as if Wright turned her son's life around simply by caring about him. She said Kyle was always "a sweetheart of a kid," but carried some bitterness as a teen, mistrustful of men because his own father was never in evidence:
"As his mom, I'll say Kyle could be a little attitude-ish. He could be a little tough to coach. He could be a handful. I know that."
Wright decided to explore Lowry without aggressively recruiting him. "It wasn't really a recruiting process," he said. "Kyle started coming by the office and we would just sit and talk. Then, we met Marie and she started coming over. It was more educational."
The 'Nova staff was salivating. Wright was cautious.
"Everyone on the staff wanted Kyle. And I was saying to him, 'I've heard all these things about you, Kyle. This is what Villanova is. This is the kind of person we want you to be. This is the kind of player we want you to be. Do you want to be that?'"
In a way, it was the same liberating style he'd used on Claxton: This is what I am if you want me to be your coach.
Lange said a trip to the Wachovia Center was set up in 2003 during Lowry's official visit in which he would be given the grand tour. It's common for recruits to have their names flashed on the Jumbotron with a specially recorded soundtrack pumped over the P.A. in which the recruit's name is peppered throughout fabricated play-by-play read by the school's radio announcer. Hokey? Everyone does it.
But Lange said Wright was woozy and a little hung-over from his brother's wedding the night before. He decided to just order cheesesteaks and hang out in the campus hotel room in which the school had boarded Lowry and skip the Wachovia circus.
And so, the coup de grace of the on-campus visit consisted entirely of Wright, Lange and Lowry lounging around the hotel room and watching college football on TV.
Lange recalled the scene. Lowry at first gave one- and two-word answers or rolled his eyes at Wright's questions about his goals and future, flashing the petulant demeanor of which others had warned. But Wright never tensed and only offered a smiling, "All right, that's fine," as if not in the least flustered. He calmly, persistently continued to ask questions. Gradually, Lowry softened.
"Over the three hours in that room, you could see the connection," said Lange. "Like Kyle was thinking, 'This guy actually cares about me.' I left that room knowing we were getting Kyle. It was classic Jay."
Remembered Wright: "The more I talked to Kyle and the more I met his mother, the more I realized, this is a good kid who's a little misunderstood. Now, some of the things said about him were true. But I really just believed deep in his soul he was a really good kid. So, we were willing to take a chance."
It was Lange who pushed hardest for Wright to recruit a kid others warned was a "coach-killer," the unruly type who'd get you fired.
"When my wife delivered our first child in December of 2003, Kyle called the hospital room to see if she needed anything," said Lange. "He brought her a gift for the baby.
"The kid would call my home line when we were away on recruiting trips and make sure she felt safe and OK.
"Jay saw that heart in him. That's why he wanted him, so he could cultivate it."
Lowry spun onto the Big East scene in 2004-05 like the Tasmanian Devil, a willing human pinball, not just creating but craving contact with a style built on the Philadelphia streets. Along with Randy Foye, Allan Ray and Mike Nardi, he composed a four-guard lineup in 2005-2006 that terrorized opponents ill-equipped to match their breakdown and shooting skills.
Lowry and friends finally wore out and succumbed to the lack of a power game in the 2006 Midwest Regional final, losing to eventual two-time national champ Florida. Lowry left after that sophomore year and was picked by the Rockets 24th overall in the 2006 draft.
Marie Hollaway still credits Wright and his staff for setting her son on the right path – just by caring about him:
"He treats each of these kids as his own. What he would want for [youngest son] Colin, he wants for these kids."
Now with Lowry on the Rockets is another former Villanova assistant, Brett Gunning, Houston's director of player development.
Gunning echoes a sentiment commonly heard about Wright – that he's "real":
"Jay likes to say, 'The greatest gift anyone can give you is the truth.' He's for real. It's only something you can see after a period of time. Parents can see it because they've been around long enough that they can tell a B.S. artist when they see one.
"Jay used to say he loved recruiting because, 'At the very least, I'll have met someone new and made another friend.'
"Yeah, for a while there, we led the nation in getting our butts kicked by good friends of the program." Gunning laughed. "We'd recruit a kid hard, he'd go somewhere else. He'd beat us and then come over and give us all hugs."
HOW WRIGHT'S JIMMYS AND JOES BEAT Xs-n-Os
Though Wright doesn't get much credit from pundits or contemporaries as an "X-n-O guy" because his offense includes a lot of rudimentary 4-out-1-in action, he is a master of two things – deciding on players' roles early in a season, then communicating to them exactly what he wants.
And being "a nice guy" isn't really why he is loved by his players. He isn't a nice guy all the time, anyway, especially when they don't work on defense to his standards.
He is loved because he lets them dive in and begin to tap their potential right away, to make inevitable youthful mistakes and learn from them. He's learned that there's no upside in the long run to climbing all over or pulling teenage playmakers when they make turnovers. As long as they play hard with confidence and enthusiasm, he'll accept some reckless mistakes. Then, he'll give the players the responsibility to rein themselves in as they gain experience and begin to see the unique geometry of the game at major-college speed.
It's an approach players love because it allows them to grow more quickly.
For instance, when current senior and team leader Scottie Reynolds was a freshman, Wright could immediately see his potential as a playmaker and scorer. He wanted Reynolds to develop those skills as quickly as possible because he needed Reynolds' points. The last thing he wanted was to ease him into the lineup for brief segments. He wanted to force him to explore his entire game right away, warts and all. He knew doing this would pay dividends down the line.
But, Wright explained, the only way to live with a sometimes out-of-control Reynolds was to make sure the older 'Cats were prudent:
"We told Mike Nardi and Curtis Sumpter, 'You guys can't make mistakes. Because we gotta let [Reynolds] go so he can score. And right now, the only way he can do it is if he's just wild. He's not experienced enough to do it efficiently.' "Now, [freshman] Maalik Wayns is the one we let go. He was 3-for-9 [against Georgetown]. But he gives us great energy. He can go crazy now. But Scottie can't."
After a recent game, Wayns said Reynolds told him, "Enjoy this now. Because when you're a senior, they're all gonna be coming after you. And so is Coach."
With this method, Wright has been able to cycle in his kids. And when they're needed to take over and be mentors and leaders as upperclassmen, they're really ready.
The Wildcats look ready, every game and against every opponent. There just are very few lulls in performance. At Rutgers last week, following three brutal games against superior opponents – Marquette, Louisville and Georgetown – the Wildcats should have been ready to take a night off and cruise against the Big East's worst team. Instead, they pounced, flew ahead by 20 at the half and won 94-68.
Three days later against St. John's in Madison Square Garden, they survived a 24-4 run by the Red Storm, fell behind by double digits but then coolly, methodically churned back ahead in the second half and won going away. And four days later, they wore down Notre Dame, blasting from a 1-point halftime lead to 90-67 at the 2:00 mark.
"We're playing really well," Wright said with a sort of chuckle after the Rutgers game. Then, he said it again after Notre Dame.
Now, there's something you just don't hear. Are you kidding? A coach who admits his guys are good and getting better?
Funny how the guy's vibe rubs off on everybody. Especially his team.

STATE COLLEGE – David Williams always wanted James Franklin to feel welcomed in the Vanderbilt community. The Commodores' athletic director and the former Vanderbilt football coach knew from the start in December of 2010 that they would need each other to help strengthen a football program that up until then did not finish in the final AP poll since 1948.
During three seasons together the two built a relationship that extended beyond one of boss and employee. Vanderbilt was Franklin's first head coaching job and while Williams was at the helm of the athletic department since 2003, he recognized that he needed to be there to explain the complexities of the job -- outside of what happened on the field – to the inquisitive, energetic coach.
"It was a very good friendship and it still is," Williams said in a phone interview on Wednesday. "It was bittersweet. We didn't want to let James go, but that was a decision that really was about him and his family based on what they wanted to do and what they needed to do with their life. While it was not a decision I wanted to hear at that time, I still wished him well."
Right away Williams said he knew that family would be an important aspect of Franklin's Vanderbilt job that he'd preach to his players and practice as well. Both families would also grow close during Franklins' tenure.
It was Williams and his wife, Gail, who were asked by Franklin's wife, Fumi, to go house hunting in Tennessee with James after he arrived in town. Fumi eyed a few houses on a previous trip to town but was busy tying up loose ends in Maryland as they prepared to move with their two young daughters. Naturally the wife had some hesitations about leaving her husband alone to look at homes.
Williams and his wife happily obliged and once the whole family was in town Williams threw a party at his own home to welcome them to Vanderbilt.
From there it was the invitation to grandparents day at Shola's school where Franklin's oldest daughter didn't have any relatives who could make it on the designated day. Recognizing how big of a deal grandparents day was for the young girl, Williams and his wife stepped in.
"I said, 'Well, if you want us to me and my wife would be happy to fill in as the grandparents,' " Williams said. "And we did. Every year they've asked us to do that.
"It was a friendship that developed. James and Fumi are about 25 years younger than me and my wife, but we kind of saw them as a young couple at a very high profile, highly demanding job and wanted them to be part of this community."
Williams watched as the attitude of the program's football players began to change, shifting from a group that had grown accustomed to losing seasons to one that was constantly told they could and would win games. Asked what specifically made Franklin successful at the school and Williams' answer spanned several minutes.
He mentioned Franklin's attention to detail as well as his ability to constantly outwork and boost the productivity of everyone around him.
"If you were working at a 97 level and the next person comes in working at an 89, well he'd say, 'What's wrong with you?' " Williams said. "I never saw his staff work harder than him and it was a hard-working staff."
There was also the optimism he brought to the program, choosing not to even mention the previous losing seasons and struggles.
Williams recalled Franklin's first game as head coach and an exchange he overheard him have with one of his players on the sidelines. Vanderbilt was about to enter the red zone when the quarterback fumbled the ball, the defense recovered and the player walked toward the sideline looking dejected.
"He's a great kid, a great athlete, but he pretty much played on teams that didn't do real well," Williams said. "They had a tendency when they made a mistake to get down on themselves.
"I remember James telling him, 'That will not be the play that decides this game.' That sort of changed the kid's attitude. He was able to get the kids to believe in themselves and that's a great quality."
Perhaps it's the relationship between the athletic director and coach, coupled with Franklin's largely successful turnaround to revamp Vanderbilt's football program, that made it that much more difficult for Williams to answer the phone on a Friday night around 7 when he knew Franklin was on the other end with a decision.
The man who compiled a 24-15 record and who took Vanderbilt to the three consecutive bowl games for the first time in the school's history told Williams he was headed to Penn State.
"He said he'd let me know and he was true to his word," Williams said.
In many ways the past two weeks have been highly stressful for both Franklin's old program and his new one. He was introduced at Penn State on Jan. 11 and quickly went to work meeting the current players and assembling his staff. He's yet to officially introduce the group though the majority of the staff was with him at Vanderbilt and has been out recruiting for Penn State since the dead period ended last Thursday.
By bringing many assistants with him it depleted Vanderbilt's coaching staff, forcing quality control personnel to hit the road with a couple of the remaining assistant coaches. Five verbal commits have since followed Franklin and his staff to Penn State.
On Saturday, one week after beginning a coaching search of their own, Williams introduced former Stanford defensive coordinator, Derek Mason, as the Commodores' new coach.
Williams and his former employee have since exchanged emails and the athletic director said maybe one day in the future Penn State and Vanderbilt could work out a home and home series. If that day ever should come don't expect Williams to exchange pleasantries with Franklin before the game.
"I wish him well to a point," Williams said with a laugh. "I won't wish him well if Penn State ever plays Vanderbilt."

LSU football players were obviously ready to start hitting for real in Tuesday's spring practice. At least Josh Boutte and Lewis Neal were.
Those two got into a minor scuffle on the first day of spring drills in pads, with Neal knocking Boutte's helmet off in the the Big Cat Drill, which LSU coach Les Miles has used to start the individual segment of practice in the spring and fall. One player each from offense and defense, matched by weight and size, line up and collide, each trying to stay low and drive the other back.
Neal had a handful of Boutte's jersey and the two exchanges slight shoves when Neal swatted Boutte's helmet off. That got the intensity up as teammates intervened and restored order. Miles warned both sides there would be no swinging and that "we are a team." He threatened to send them "straight to sprint drills" if he saw it again.

Variations on a Rococo Theme
The Variations on a Rococo Theme, Op. 33, for cello and orchestra was the closest Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky ever came to writing a full concerto for cello and orchestra. The style was inspired by Mozart, Tchaikovsky's role model, and makes it clear that Tchaikovsky admired the Classical style very much. However, the Theme is not Rococo in origin, but actually an original theme in the Rococo style.
Tchaikovsky wrote this piece for and with the help of Wilhelm Fitzenhagen, a German cellist and fellow-professor at the Moscow Conservatory. Fitzenhagen gave the premiere in Moscow on November 30, 1877, with Nikolai Rubinstein conducting. This was perhaps the only hearing of the Variations as Tchaikovsky wrote the piece until 1941, when it was played in Moscow without Fitzenhagen's by-then-standard emendations.
The piece is scored for a reduced orchestra consisting of pairs of each of the four basic woodwind instruments, two horns and the usual strings, like the typical late 18th-century orchestra without trumpets or drums.
Structure and overview[edit]
The piece is composed of a theme and seven variations (eight in Tchaikovsky's original version), making up roughly 20 minutes of music. Part of the difficulty of the piece lies in this seemingly disingenuous format involving eight sections that follow one another without a break, devoid of the usual extended orchestral tuttis allowing the soloist to rest for a few moments. The soloist is also challenged by mostly having to play in the high register using the thumb position.
- Moderato assai quasi Andante – Thema: Moderato semplice
- The orchestra comes in with a somewhat brief (though it looks long on paper) introduction, and the solo cello states the simple, elegant theme. The theme is repeated a total of six times, then the cello plays a brief conjunctive passage, the same exact notes of which are used to link Vars. I and II. The same conjunction is played an octave lower to link Vars. II and III.
- Var. I: Tempo della Thema
- The first variation is in triplets, through the midst of which the orchestra restates the theme. The sound is very lively and graceful.
- Var. II: Tempo della Thema
- The second variation features a section of conversation between the orchestra and soloist, in which the theme is nearly doubled in speed.
- Var. III: Andante sostenuto
- In the third variation the theme has changed key to C major and is played at a more contemplative speed.
- Var. IV: Andante grazioso
- The fourth variation is back in A major and is a livelier version of the theme.
- Var. V: Allegro moderato
- The fifth variation carries over trills from the end of the fourth variation, and after a grand "fall" by the solo cello onto a low E, the orchestra takes over gallantly. A cadenza follows, ending back in the trills from the beginning, and once again the melody is taken over by the full orchestra, at which point a second, much longer and more difficult cadenza follows. The second cadenza, which is brazen and filled with chords, steadfastly refuses to resolve its minor key.
- Var. VI: Andante
- The sixth variation is a melancholy restatement of the theme in D minor, which carries over from the cadenza.
- Var. VII e Coda: Allegro vivo
- After a brief pause, the soloist launches into the most difficult variation, an Allegro vivo which rarely relents its constant 32nd notes. The orchestra, too, has a difficult time keeping up with the blazing speed of the finale, the solo flute being one example.
The piece was written between December 1876 and March 1877, immediately following his tone poem Francesca da Rimini, and compared to the vehemence and intensity of Francesca, the Variations show a new elegant classical detachment. While the theme upon which the composition is based is Tchaikovsky's own, the graceful contours that make up the first half of this theme show clearly which style period Tchaikovsky had in mind.
Tchaikovsky had rarely been attracted to the variation form before, except for an eloquent piece for piano solo in F major, Op. 19, No. 6. The utility of this form became apparent for what he now set out to accomplish. In a traditional concerto format, structural complexities and dramatic issues that would have clashed with the 18th-century detachment and finesse could not have been avoided. A neater and easier solution was, in each variation, to retain the melodic outlines and harmonic support outlined in his initial theme.
The potential problem with this approach could be a lack of variety between variations. This would effectively kill the piece. Thanks to his consummate craftsmanship, Tchaikovsky avoided this trap. There is barely a phrase within each variation whose relationship with its progenitor is not explicit. However, no two variations assemble their constituent phrases in the same manner, nor build to the same proportions.
One device which helps Tchaikovsky greatly in this regard is a codetta attached to the end of the theme, to which is attached in turn a quasi-cadential or linking extension. Tchaikovsky varied this extension in length and direction, further modifying the proportions of individual variations and providing a bridge passage from one variation to the next. He even mixed the codetta material with the theme itself in the Andante grazioso variation (No. 4 in Fitzenhagen's arrangement, No. 5 in Tchaikovsky's original order).
Tchaikovsky versus Fitzenhagen[edit]
While the tasteful invention and refined craftsmanship that Tchaikovsky admired in classical-era music is thoroughly in evidence, the structure he intended in his ordering of variations was subverted by the work's dedicatee. Tchaikovsky scholar Dr. David Brown points out that, in the composer's original order, the first five variations show "a progressive expansion and evolution of the theme's structure ... the sixth briefly recalling the original phrases of the theme before the seventh, C major variation, new in meter and key," reveals "a vast melodic sweep," providing "the real peak of the piece," after which the final variation (the one Fitzenhagen eventually jettisoned) would guide listeners back toward the point where the piece had started.[1]
As music critic Michael Steinberg points out, "Fitzenhagen intervened considerably in shaping what he considered "his" piece."[2] Much of the detail in the solo part is his and was actually written by him into Tchaikovsky's autograph.[3] "More importantly," Steinberg adds, "he dropped one entire variation and reshuffled the order of the others. This, in turn, necessitated further cuts and splices."[2]
|Order of Variations
|Variation I
|Variation II
|Same but with ending of Var. V
|Variation III
|Variation VI
|Variation IV
|Variation VII
|Variation V
|Variation IV
|Variation VI
|Variation V with ending of Var. II
|Variation VII
|Variation III
|Variation VIII
Tchaikovsky had in fact asked Fitzenhagen to go through the Variations—something about which the composer apparently neglected to inform his publisher, P. I. Jurgenson. In the autograph score the majority of the solo part is actually in Fitzenhagen's hand and the cellist apparently exercised the role of reviser vigorously enough to lead Jurgenson to protest to Tchaikovsky, "Horrible Fitzenhagen insists on changing your cello piece. He wants to 'cello' it up and claims you gave him permission. Good God! Tchaïkovski revu et corrigé par Fitzenhagen!"[4]
Fitzenhagen was proud of the success he had in performing the work,[5] and in a report he wrote Tchaikovsky after playing it at the Wiesbaden Festival in June 1879, he gave a clue as to why he rearranged the order of variations as he did.[6] "I produced a furore with your variations. I pleased so greatly that I was recalled three times, and after the Andante variation (D minor) there was stormy applause. Liszt said to me: 'You carried me away! You played splendidly," and regarding your piece he observed: 'Now there, at last, is real music!'"[7]
The D minor variation Fitzenhagen mentions is actually the third in Tchaikovsky's original sequence. Fitzenhagen may have thought it more effective later in the piece because of its ability to draw applause.[6] He exchanged it with Tchaikovsky's slow penultimate variation, the one in 3/4 time in C major. The Allegro vivace variation which now followed the D minor contrasted very effectively. However, the eighth and final variation was extremely similar to the Allegro vivace. Fitzenhagen did not hesitate to jettison this variation and tack the final 32 bars of the piece onto the Allegro vivace.[6]
Nevertheless, in one of his occasional fits of insecurity about his work, especially when it came to form, Tchaikovsky allowed the changes to stand.[1] Eleven years later one of Fitzenhagen's students, Anatoliy Brandukov, approached the composer about whether he would restore his original idea to the piece. Apparently irritated by the question, Tchaikovsky replied, "Oh, the hell with it! Let it stay the way it is."[8]
The Variations were played in Fitzenhagen's order until the Russian cellist Victor Kubatsky started researching the piece for himself. By subjecting the manuscript to X-ray experiments, he discovered that Tchaikovsky's text had been inked over. As a result of this discovery, the original version was finally published and has since been recorded. Nevertheless, most cellists still use the Fitzenhagen version of the piece.[9] A large part of the problem was that, while the Russian complete edition of Tchaikovsky's complete works included the original version of the Variations, the State Publishing House issued neither the orchestral parts nor a piano reduction for study purposes.[10]
Cellists who have recorded Tchaikovsky's original version have included Steven Isserlis, Raphael Wallfisch and Julian Lloyd Webber.
In 2000, trumpeter Sergei Nakariakov played a version of Variations on a Rococo Theme in a transcription for the flugelhorn.
In 2010, Maxim Rysanov played the Variations on a Rococo Theme in his transcription for viola in a London Promenade Concert.
In 2009, Catalin Rotaru played the Variations on a Rococo Theme in a transcription for the double bass for a radio orchestra in Bucharest, Romania.

- Make Variable Seeding Work
- Match inputs to yield potential
- Work around inconsistencies
- How to adjust seeding rates
Think Different
The interactions between corn plant population, genetics, soil type, fertility, crop rotation, pest control, tillage and weather are very complex, says Joel Wipperfurth, master agronomy adviser for Winfield, Owatonna, Minn. That's why it's important to evaluate the effectiveness of a variable-rate seeding program on a farm-by-farm basis, he says.
One way to do that is to plant check strips of higher and lower seeding rates alongside the prescribed rate in each management zone within a field. If a lower seeding rate produced the same yield as the prescribed rate, for example, you might want to adjust the prescription the next year.
To make it easier to measure the results of VRS, Bob Gunzenhauser, DuPont Pioneer, suggests that growers try three or four different seeding rates, each differing by about four thousand seeds/acre.
More About:
Work around inconsistencies
In an effort to deal with these inconsistencies, SDSU's Carlson is developing variable-rate seeding algorithms based on long-term average yields and the degree of yield variation within the field. He says growers should think of productivity potential as a continuum, rather than as discrete zones.
At Advanced Cropping Systems, Mieth combines yield maps and other layers of information, such as aerial imagery, topography and slope, to estimate yield potential. In eastern Nebraska, for example, "It's almost inevitable that south- and southwest-facing slopes have a lower yield potential than southeast-, northwest- or north-facing slopes. We process all the data available on the field, and let that determine productivity potential on a 5-meter resolution."
Despite the high-tech analysis, though, there's a great deal of subjective knowledge that goes into defining these zones, Mieth says, especially in areas with inconsistent yields. "We sit down and discuss what the grower knows about the field. There's a lot of agronomic judgment involved."
Farmer Alverson agrees. Until just a few years ago, the family varied seeding rates by an educated guess. "It was all visual, based on the slope of the ground, the color of the soil, and our knowledge of the field. It was an art."
They've gone digital now, adjusting planting rates from 24,000 to 36,000 seeds/acre on pretty much every planter pass, Alverson says. Still, he calls their GPS-based productivity zones, which are delineated from yield and topography maps, a work in progress. "They're not as accurate as what we can see out in the field. The challenge is getting what's in our eyes and heads into our prescription maps."
Crop consultant Kim Retzlaff, Applied Agronomics, Aberdeen, S.D., sorts through 80-100 satellite images to locate high- and low-potential areas within fields. He says satellite imagery is often a better indicator of productivity differences than yield monitor data, which can be misleading if not collected and filtered correctly.
Fields that show little yield variation will not be good candidates for VRS, adds Joel Wipperfurth, Winfield agronomist in Owatonna, Minn. "In general, you need to see more than 5% yield variability." Look for areas of the field that yield consistently above or below average, he says.

A loud whoosh from propane double burners shooting 6-foot flames into a giant hot air balloon brought cheers from the spectators at the 26th annual Blossom Balloon Glow on the Chagrin Falls High School practice field last night. Seven hot air balloons were unraveled filled with fanned air and then raised with the hot blow torches into the clear cool sky.
Private hot air balloon pilot Eugene Kenyo of Streetsboro said he got his first ride on a hot air balloon when he was 18-years-old and has been hooked on the sport ever since. He pilots the colorful 77,000 cubic foot Free Spirit III balloon and loves every opportunity he can get to fly.
The Blossom Glow kicks off Chagrin Falls' Blossom Time spring celebration that runs through the weekend and culminates with the 58th annual Blossom Time Parade on Sunday.
The hot air balloons will be competing in morning and evening flights, weather permitting, in Hare and Hound chases, precision cross-country navigation and fly-bys.

The man arrested Thursday at a Minuteman III launch site near Parshall will face federal charges.
James Richard Sauder, 55, of San Antonio, Texas, was arrested after allegedly scaling the fence of the H-8 missile silo southwest of Parshall to conduct a peaceful protest against nuclear weapons. He was initially charged with criminal trespass, a Class C felony, and spent the night in the Mountrail County jail in Stanley.
Special Agent E.K. Wilson of the FBI said Sauder has been charged with one count of federal criminal trespass and was taken into federal custody Friday afternoon. Wilson said a criminal complaint filed Friday morning was pending, but would not speculate on any additional charges.

Dressed in a native-type headdress, James Richard Sauder was arrested Thursday for felony criminal trespass after allegedly climbing the fence of a Minuteman III launch site near Parshall.
Submitted Photo
Dressed in a green plaid, button-up shirt and khakis, under which ankle shackles could be seen, Sauder made his initial court appearance Friday afternoon at the U.S. District Courthouse in Minot in front of Magistrate Judge Charles S. Miller Jr. via videoconference.
Throughout the 45-minute hearing, Sauder repeatedly interrupted Miller by raising issues of jurisdiction, intent and his right to trial by jury, all of which were rebuffed until the appropriate hearing.
Sauder was appointed a public defender and was placed in the custody of the Attorney General until a detention hearing is held on Monday. He'll remain in custody until then in the Ward County Jail. No trial date has been set.
This is not Sauder's first run in with the law, said Attorney Francis A. Boyle.
Boyle said he represented Sauder in 1982 when Sauder performed a similar demonstration at a missile launch facility at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. Sauder was charged with federal criminal trespass, found guilty and served six months in prison, he added.
Minus the occasional letter, Boyle said he had not spoken to Sauder for nearly three decades before receiving a phone call Thursday asking him to represent Sauder.
"People like Richard and the Ploughshares and others are some of the most principled people I've ever been fortunate enough to meet and I believe they have a right to peaceful, non-violent, prayerful demonstration against weapons of massive destruction and genocide," Boyle said. "The future of humanity is at stake here and Richard and those like Richard out there are trying to do something."
A law professor at the University of Illinois, Boyle is a scholar in the areas of international law and human rights.
