So, what did everyone think?
Now that the show is a part of broadcasting history, tell me what you thought. I see some things on Twitter and some stuff in comments and I'll try to respond to some things over time (there might be a chat in the works for later on, but we'll see), but I need more validation from folks. So leave some comments here to make me feel better.
You can check out my breakdown of the Top 50 list. You can check out the complete list, all with cool video. You can email in your own Top 10 list (not just bloggers here, but fans, too, should chime in). You can even watch the entire show if you need to catch it again or (gasp) missed it the first time.
Things to address:
1. Heyward vs. Strasburg at the top: Did you think Stras should've been No. 1. I think an argument could be made for either, but I see a lot of support for Heyward out there (though in early fan voting, noted above, Stras was getting a bunch of No. 1 votes). It'll be interesting to see what some of the other experts have to say out there.
2. Jesus Montero: This seems to be the one getting people the most riled up. I knew it was coming. Good split in the comments on the story about where he is. I could see him moving up some, but it's the defense that kept him lower in some scouts' minds. Thoughts on Montero are welcome here.
3. Aroldis Chapman. For the record, if you didn't watch the show when I explained it. When I finalized the list, he hadn't yet signed and I don't consider players who aren't yet with an MLB organization. If I did, I'd have to start considering amateur talent from college or high school ranks before they even are drafted and that's not something I'll do.
3. The obvious who is/isn't on the list — who do you think should've made it, who you think shouldn't have been on there at all. And remember, this is a prospect list, not a good players in the Minors list. There's a difference.
4. What did you think of the shirt? Wish you could've seen all of the tie. Had purple in it, which made the shirt work even better. I think I pulled it off. Did you?
Believe it or not, I did not get to everyone who had graciously sent in guest prospect rankings. So I'll keep them going the next couple days. Tonight, before I sign off and get some rest, I give you the Top 20 from Seth Stohs. You can catch his work on SethSpeaks.net and follow him on Twitter @SethTweets. Guy knows a ton about the Twins farm system. You can find out just how much if you go to his site (or straight to this link) and pre-order his Twins 2010 Prospect Handbook.
Anyway, looks like Seth knows a thing or two about prospects in all organizations. Some interesting names on his list.
1.) Jason Heyward – OF – Atlanta Braves
2.) Brian Matusz – LHP – Baltimore
3.) Stephen Strasburg – RHP – Washington Nationals
4.) Aroldis
Chapman – LHP – Cincinnati Reds
5.) Jesus Montero – C – New York
6.) Jeremy Hellickson – RHP – Tampa Bay Rays
7.) Buster Posey – C
– San Francisco Giants
8.) Carlos Santana – C – Cleveland Indians
Madison Bumgarner – RHP – San Francisco Giants
10.) Pedro Alvarez – 3B –
Pittsburgh Pirates
11.) Neftali Feliz – RHP – Texas Rangers
Dustin Ackley – 2B – Seattle Mariners
13.) Domonic Brown – OF – Philadelphia
14.) Aaron Hicks – OF – Minnesota Twins
15.) Justin Smoak – 1B
– Texas Rangers
16.) Starlin Castro – SS – Chicago Cubs
17.) Mike Stanton
– OF – Florida Marlins
18.) Derek Norris – C – Washington Nationals
Jaff Decker – OF – San Diego Padres
20.) Josh Bell – 3B – Baltimore
4 Comments
Carlos Santana should arrive soon.
Who do you think have a better career: Santana, Posey or montero?
I feel a lot more comfortable with where Seth ranked Mike Stanton than I did with where you had him. I know that based on his power potential he could be a superstar, but I feel like we've seen this before. Guys with the big time power who strike out at ridiculous rates and can't hit for average in the minors tend to scare me. Sure he's young enough to turn that aspect of his game around, but what if he doesn't?
Thanks for your list!
Suggestion for comparing teams in the future: instead of one per team, resulting in 4 for TB and Texas and KC, weight each rank by the inverse. Thus Atlanta gets 50 points for Heyward being #1 and so on until SD gets 1 point for Decker being #50.
Scoring in that way would show that Tampa Bay and Texas are strong in talent in this Top 50 ranking, as well as in numbers, while KC is not as strong in talent.
And it would have brought up that the Giants were 3rd best, clearly, overall with 2 players in the Top 10, which is much better than Detroit's 2 in the bottom 13 or LAD's 2 in the bottom 15.
I think one of the more interesting comparisons would have been between Mike Stanton and Logan Morrison. Of course, I find this more interesting than most because our league provides for the drafting and reserving of minor leaguers, and before the 2009 season when my choice arrived I had cut down the available choises to either Morrison or Stanton. Most rankings had Stanton higher, but it was close. Stanton's 153 K's in 468 AB's the year before proved just too much and I went with Morrison.
Interesting that they ended up as teammates for Jacksonville and had a simailar number of AB's (Stanton 299, Morrison 278). Their comparative numbers of average, OBP and slugging were:
Morrison: .277-.411-.442
Stanton: .231-.341-.501
Big power advantage to Stanton, but 99 K's in 299 AB's while Morrison actually had more BB's (63) than K's (46)!?
I actually still have Morrison rated higher while you had Stanton at #3 and Morrison at only #25. Is the power difference worth that much!? Heck, I think it would be easier to get Morrison to the weight-room than to adjust Stanton's overaggressive tendencies.

Jefferson County's Democrat and Republican parties will pick candidates by Aug. 6 in the court-ordered election for county commission's District 1 seat, a judge ruled this afternoon.
But independents can qualify to run if they get 914 signatures of District 1 voters by Aug. 27, Circuit Judge Scott Vowell said in an order issued late this afternoon.
The Nov. 4 vote was ordered in a ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court over a months-long legal dispute over how to fill the commission vacancy created when Larry Langford resigned to become Birmingham mayor.
The court's June 30 ruling, which came more than three weeks after the primaries for other Nov. 4 elections, left insufficient time for a primary in the District 1 race, lawyers in the case said.

Fewer students on school buses
With fewer students in school this year than last, it is hardly surprising that fewer children are riding the school bus.
But what is surprising was the percentage of ridership decrease between last school year and this year.
South Whidbey School District transportation supervisor Margaret Evans reported to the board of education Monday night that ridership is down by 4 percent. That, she said, is more than she expected.
Bus drivers took a count of student riders during the district's annual ridership week earlier this month. The results showed bus ridership dropping from 1,319 daily riders in 2001 to 1,174 this year.
Affecting the count to a certain degree, Evans said, was a drop in enrollment of 125 students between the district's primary and intermediate schools. Langley Middle School was the only school with more students this year than last.
"They were up 1.8 percent or 18 students," Evans said.
Special education remained the same with 43 students.
What the ridership drop means is less money to fund transportation needs in the district.
Still, Evans looked to the bright side, noting that fewer students means lower transportation costs. With employee wage costs, equipment costs and mileage down, the district is still receiving enough transportation money from the state to cover about 70 percent of its busing costs.
Every year during the first week in October, Washington school districts count the number of students taking the bus to school to determine the level of state funding for transportation.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Frances Torres of Dongan Hills, 45, an executive coordinator at Citibank who also enjoyed cooking, died Monday in Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze.
Born Frances Serpe in Brooklyn, she graduated from John Dewey High School. She moved to Staten Island in 1996.
Mrs. Torres worked as an executive coordinator for Citibank in Manhattan for the past eight years.
In her leisure time, she enjoyed watching wrestling, playing with her dog and cooking all types of food.
"I am definitely going to miss her cooking, she was a very talented chef," said her husband of 16 years, Wilfred. "She could cook anything, whether it was Italian, Spanish, she even made amazing matzo balls."
Her sister, Susan Zolfo, said Mrs. Torres was someone who could bring joy to anyone she met.
"She had an amazing smile, a contagious laugh, she was one of the kindest, sweetest people around," said Mrs. Zolfo. "She was my best friend."
In addition to her husband, Wilfred, and sister, Susan, Mrs. Torres is survived by her mother, Sonia Serpe, and her brother, Michael Serpe.
The funeral will be Saturday at 9 a.m. in the Hanley Funeral Home, New Dorp. Entombment will follow in Resurrection Cemetery, Pleasant Plains.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The outing Justin Verlander had Monday night in a 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals made it easy to forget who had the biggest hit in the game.
But Verlander didn't forget. In fact, he gave Detroit Tigers second baseman Brandon Inge credit for winning the game.
The much-maligned Inge hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning to break a tie and give the Tigers a 3-1 lead. Those were the only runs the Tigers scored Monday night after Austin Jackson led off the game with a home run.
"I couldn't be happier," Verlander said. "No matter what the situation is, he's going to give you everything he's possibly got to win a ballgame, whether it's from the bench or from second or from third or at the plate. There's never any question in what he's out there to do. To have him come through today and win us the ballgame, it's great. I'm real excited for him."
Inge made his first major league start at second base in the game and was hitless in four at-bats this season when he stepped to the plate to face left-hander Danny Duffy in the fifth. After taking ball one, Inge hit a 95-mph fastball from Duffy an estimated 409 feet to right-center.
Inge hit .197 with three home runs and 23 RBIs last season, then hit .180 in Grapefruit League action this spring before heading to the disabled list with a left groin strain. He went 1-for-9 in a rehabilitation stint in Triple-A Toledo last week before being recalled from the disabled list Saturday.

Hearty High-five & 'Thanks' for all the help at FH Fly In | Letters
— Editor's note: Here's a link to photos of the 5th annual Friday Harbor Fly-In and Community Open House by event photographer Steve Brandli: http://photos.brandli.com
We would like to thank all those who participated and who made the 5th Annual Friday Harbor Fly-In and Community Open House, once again, an extraordinary success.
Great weather, an 8 a.m. kickoff breakfast by the Cutthroat Pirates, many hard-working volunteers, generous sponsors and pilots, and a fabulous turnout made this an event to remember.
Thousands of community members, pilots, and kids participated in enjoying this year's Fly-in. The day began with the local American Legion Color Guard, and Jill's Urbach's beautiful rendition of the National Anthem, followed by a P-51 Mustang fly-over. It went "upwards" from there, with a plethora of takes-off and landings by specialized aircraft, antique war birds, custom-built flying machines, and helicopters.
We offer our heartfelt thanks to the businesses of Friday Harbor - and beyond - for their financial sponsorship of this event:
International Sport Sciences Association, Larry's Autobody, Vanderyacht Propane, Cask & Schooner Public House & Restaurant, Aeronautical Services, King's Market & MarketPlace (water), Browne's Home Center (water), Aeronautical Services, CenturyLink, San Juan Pilots Association, First American Title, Islanders Bank, FedEx, M & W Auto Sales, Westwind Aviation, Kenmore Air (scenic flight), Roche Harbor Resort, Printonyx (printing), Heritage Flight Museum, American Legion, Craig & Jill Dorsey, Dane Armstrong, The San Juan County Fair, Stu & Roni McPherson, Alice Shull (poster design), Heuristic Enterprises (ice), Mitzi Johnson (calligraphy), Brandli Law (contest prizes), Fred Jungclaus Graphics, Jim Crossley, Friday Harbor Ace Hardware.
A special thank you goes to Island Rec's Lowel Jons, who facilitated our kids hangar and glider contest. The free flights provided by Dr. John Geyman & Darryl Swenson to Camp Eagle Rock children were very popular, as well as the give-away helicopter rides by Dane Armstrong and free CJ-6 rides by Brad Engbrecht. Our sponsors are invaluable.
Thank you to our food vendors: Cutthroat Pirates (and their airship Bruenhilda), Kiwanis, Ernie's Café, 'Team Local' Ice Cream, and Popcorn by Willows.
Also a special thank to our announcer, Rick Drury, who has not only been the "voice of the fly-in" since its inception, but a prime contributor in getting the many cool war birds that have graced our airport.
And let's not forget Brian Hoyer, who has always provided sound equipment for us.
A special thanks to BJ Brandli for making all the thousands of details happen along with Stuart Hansen, Tim Kelley, and Brian McGlynn, of the airport staff, for all their hard work and dedication. Kudos goes to Fred Schumacher, our "press" guy; he gets the word out to everyone!
Sincere gratitude goes to the pilots who donated fly-bys and aerial demonstrations, for our Fly-In would not have been complete without them. As well, special thanks go to the pilots who flew in and participated in putting their airplanes on static display.
Having thousands of people, especially children, be able to walk around, admire, be amazed by, and touch the airplanes is one of the very special parts of our Fly-In. We were proud to have these as event highlights.
If we have missed naming anyone who helped with the 5th Annual Fly-In and Community Open House, we apologize in advance.
Thank you to the people of the San Juan Islands for your support - without you, it wouldn't happen.
Dave Ryan, Friday Harbor Airport manager, Friday Harbor Fly-In and Community Open House

PENNS GROVE — The school board's meeting room turned into the saddest place on Earth Monday night when the board declined to reconsider its decision not to approve the Penns Grove High School senior class trip to the happiest place on Earth — Walt Disney World.
Senior Michelle Mandolla addressed the Penns Grove-Carneys Point Regional Board of Education, hoping to change its members' minds.
"I'm here representing my class (asking you) to reconsider the trip," said Mandolla. "The trip is of no cost to the board, except for substitutes and transportation to and from the airport."
According to officials, the board decided against approving the trip based on a number of factors, including low student participation, the advice of the board solicitor and a recommendation from the high school principal.
Of the 168 seniors in the Penns Grove High School Class of 2010, 53 had already paid the $200 deposit when they learned the trip was off.
School policy states that in order for the senior class trip to take place, 50 percent of the class is required to go. The board does have the right to approve the trip even if that requirement is not met, but it chose not to do so in this case.
Mandolla reminded the board that 10 years ago a class whose senior trip was denied brought the issue before the board and the decision was overturned.
(The) "Penns Grove-Carneys Point school board made a decision that there will be no class trip this year and I don't think there is anyone here tonight that can say anything to change that," said board President Gregory Wright.
Those in attendance were disappointed that the board would not reconsider its decision, especially since the number of students who signed up for the trip was the largest in several years.
"Their high school senior year should be respected by all of you," said parent Kathy Lockbaum, who was outraged by the board's decision.
Lockbaum also highlighted the fact that there are not 53 students on any team or club in the school (which allow students from all four grade levels), stating that the seniors managed to get 53 participants from just one class.
Although the board remained firm in its decision not to approve this year's trip, district Superintendent Joseph Massare did provide information on how the senior class trip proposals will be handled in the future.
"(We are going to) look at board policy and revisit if Disney World is the appropriate trip (destination)," said Massare.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — The Marlins' Chris Volstad and Mets' Jon Niese each looked sharp in their spring mound debuts and Florida beat a New York split squad 4-3 in 10 innings Friday.
The Mets played without shortstop Jose Reyes, who was sent back to New York for further medical tests after it was discovered he had a thyroid imbalance.
Marlins outfield prospect Mike Stanton hit a two-run homer off Mets reliever Bobby Parnell in the 10th to give the Marlins the lead.
Mets new outfielder Jason Bay double to right to give the Mets a 2-1 lead in the third.
Niese gave up a run in 2 2/3 innings and struck out five. He walked two and gave up three singles. Marlins center fielder Cameron Maybin walked, stole second and reached third on a first-inning grounder, but Niese stranded him by striking out Jorge Cantu.
Volstad struck out two in two scoreless innings. He gave up two singles and did not walk a batter.
Niese was slowed by a hamstring tear after going 1-1 with a 4.21 ERA in five major league starts last year. He said he worked on his cutter Friday and is happy with his health.
"This offseason I worked really hard every day rehabbing in Ohio," he said. "I had a goal to be ready for when spring training started, and I feel good."
Volstad struggled down the stretch last season after a solid start. He went 9-13 with a 5.21 ERA after having a 3.65 ERA on June 5. Volstad said he threw two sliders, a pitch he is working to add to his repertoire. One of those pitches struck out Jason Bay.
"I felt good. I was able to keep my stuff down," Volstad said. "I felt like I was throwing strikes."
The new pitch does not mean Volstad plans to scrap his curveball, he said.
"It's just another pitch I'm adding," Volstad said. "I'm not taking anything away."
Volstad said he enjoyed pitching in a game after throwing live bullpens and throwing on the side for the first portion of spring training.
"There's nothing like finally getting out there and competing again," Volstad said.
Emilio Bonifacio homered in the seventh to knot the game at 2. Cantu made up for his strikeout with a two-out single off Niese to score Rookie of the Year Chris Coghlan. The run gave the Marlins a 1-0 lead in the third.

Everyone needs a scheduled reminder of who they really are. Life, environments, situations and PEOPLE are constantly competing to define you. Don't let them. You are AWESOME, FULL OF POTENTIAL, EFFECTIVE, PROSPEROUS, A WINNER, SANE and someone's PERFECT FIT! Know and embrace your definition and reject stuff that tells you otherwise. If you don't constantly confess your true identity over your life daily, there are plenty of people who are lining up for the opportunity to define you.
Deuteronomy 28:13 (New International Version) – The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.

"I wanted to quilt for several years," she said. "I started a quilt when my girls were toddlers that I never finished. They're now in their 40s."
Today, as chairperson for the Garden Patch Quilters — she joined the guild in 2007 — quilting has become a passion of hers. Fortunate to be taught how to sew by her mother when she was a child, Fineman said she will enter five of her quilt creations in the "Garden of Quilts" Quilt Show at WheatonArts in Millville, March 17 and 18.
The Garden Patch Quilters — a group of quilt enthusiasts mostly from Bridgeton, Millville and Vineland — are celebrating two milestones this year. It's the guild's 25th anniversary and it's also the 10th Quilt Show hosted by the guild at WheatonArts, Fineman said.
"We have the show every other year there," she said.
The group of about 40 quilters meets inside WheatonArts' Event Center every third Wednesday of each month to showcase their beautiful projects.
"Ours are mostly traditional quilts that everybody thinks of," Fineman said. "We also have some art quilters in our guild."
Art quilts are "more pictorial," Fineman said.
"They are not meant to be thrown on a bed," she added.
More than 200 traditional and contemporary quilts will be on view at WheatonArts at the quilt show, and more than 150 quilts will be judged.
The quilts are not for sale, but visitors to the show will discover a host of quilt displays, several specialty fabric and supplies merchants, hourly demonstrations of quilting and embellishing techniques, a wide selection of boutique items, plus a variety of unique exhibits.
The point of the quilt show — the largest in South Jersey — is to give people "a better idea of what quilting is all about," Fineman said.
One interesting quilt not to be missed is a large quilt made by the Garden Patch Quilters last year for Vineland's 150th anniversary celebration.
"It gets a little spotlight of its own. Our group made a very large innovative quilt depicting highlights in the city of Vineland's history up to right now," Fineman said. "Each woman did a block or two and we put it all together and embellished it with vines and grapes. It's very lovely."
If you go: The "Garden of Quilts" Quilt Show will be at WheatonArts in Millville, March 17 and 18. Show hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Admission is $5 per person. Visitors can also visit the Museum of American Glass and museum stores. For more information about the show or WheatonArts, call 1-800-998-4552 or 856-825-6800, or visit www.wheatonarts.org.

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Richard Shelby's political action committee has given $25,000 to Luther Strange's campaign for Alabama attorney general.
The donation is dated Sept. 10, 2009, according to Federal Election Commission records compiled and published by CQ MoneyLine.
Strange is the only state-level candidate to receive a contribution from Shelby's Defend America PAC so far this year. Mostly, the PAC has been supporting Republican candidates for U.S. Senate in other states, the traditional role of leadership PACs in Congress. It is an account different from Shelby's re-election campaign account.
The $25,000 is significant because it shows Shelby, a dominant figure in GOP politics in Alabama, is aggressively backing Strange's bid to unseat current Alabama Attorney General Troy King, also a Republican. Shelby normally does not weigh in on contested primaries at the state level.
Shelby and Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., lent their support to a DC-based fundraiser for Strange last week, a clear signal they are backing Strange over King. Sessions' leadership PAC does not list any contributions to Strange so far this year.
Shelby's PAC also accepted a $10,000 refund from Sen. Arlen Specter in May, after Specter switched parties from Republican to Democrat.
The PAC has about $2.1 million cash on hand to spend on 2010 candidates around the country.

I was curious if the performance of our 4O3A high power Bandpass filters could be improved with additional coax stubs in parallel. We were operating at ED1R for some time now with the added stubs, and we are pleased with the results. Check out the details!
Archives for 2013
How to rapidly deploy & remove antenna radials
At our contest station ED1R we have no space for permanent Lowband Verticals. Each Contest, the verticals have to be installed temporarily in a field nearly. Especially the deployment and removal of the antenna radials is very time consuming. Over time we optimized our system which reduced the required time from 2 hours down to 30 minutes.
Can I still use oxidized coax cable?
This question bugged me after trying to exchange the connectors of a 25m long Aircell7 coax cable. During preparation I discovered a black inner conductor. I seems water entered the cable. Do I have to throw it away? Read more to discover a probably unexpected answer!
4O3A Triplexor
Until today, I'm fascinated what can be achieved with good filters. At our Contest Station ED1R we bought a Triplexor (10m/15m/20m) in order to be able to use our new Optibeam OB11-3 on the three bands simultaneously.
Double Half Delta Loop (DHDL) Low Band Receiving Antenna
A few days ago I had the time to build and try a Double Half Delta Loop (DHDL) at our Contest Station ED1R. The Antenna was built within 3 hours and can be deployed / errected within 20 minutes.
New Stackmatches for ED1R
One of last years projects was the improvement of our Contest Station ED1R. For the various Yagis we needed smart ways to combine antennas. Instead of buying commercial stackmatches (antenna combiners) I decided to build them up buy myself and adjust them to our needs.

Love's Comedy, Orange Tree Theatre | reviews, news & interviews
Love's Comedy, Orange Tree Theatre
Love's Comedy, Orange Tree Theatre
Early Ibsen finds the playwright in his awkward adolescence
1866 was a crucial watershed in Henrik Ibsen's writing career. As a man he may have come of age some 20 years earlier, but it was only at almost 40 that his writing attained brooding, bearded maturity in Brand, the first in the sequence of plays that we now accept as the Ibsen canon. It's a brave director indeed who delves into the playwright's juvenilia, but so numerous are the early works and so exotic their prospect (for who could resist the enticements of The Burial Mound or indeed Lady Inger of Oestraat?) that they are becoming an increasingly well-trodden – or at any rate frequently trodden – path.
Love's Comedy is the latest in what has been a year of less-travelled Ibsen. Last winter saw his final work When We Dead Awaken at Notting Hill's Print Room, and just a few months ago the playwright's rare comedy St John's Night had an outing at the Jermyn Street Theatre. Neither as starkly symbolic as the former nor as glibly satirical as the latter, Love's Comedy offers a contemplative discourse on love, ambition and society. On the page it's a rather indulgent piece of philosophical exegesis, on the stage it feels a little like peeking into the teenage diaries of a friend.
Those weaned on Ibsen's brutal endings can find a suitably bitter early draft here
The writer's personality, his preferred expressions, preoccupations and concerns are all already recognisably present, but are delivered in an uncensored rush of heightened passion and conviction. Here is the spirited, independent young woman (cruelly bound, need I say, by social conventions), the idealistic poet and the warring claims of church and society. Anyone worried that the fragile metaphorical fabric of A Doll's House might give way under all its birds and cages should steel themselves for the elaborate aviary of images that await, and those weaned on Ibsen's brutal endings can find a suitably bitter early draft here.
The story follows Falk, a poet and lodger at the home of widow Mrs Halm (Julia Watson, pictured right). While his friend and fellow-lodger Lind becomes engaged to the wholesome Anna Halm, Falk himself is drawn to her rebellious sister Swanhild, also an object of interest to the wealthy Guldstad. The hopes and aspirations of these two pairs of young lovers are set against the lapsed romance of lawyer Styver and Miss Jay, and the lengthy marriage of pastor Strawmand and his wife (and their twelve children).
The problems with the play – and there are many – all start with the language. Stylised and densely poetic in the original, Don Carleton's translation opts to preserve elements in the dialogue of his aspirational characters. Thus while the pragmatists are condemned to speak only prose, Falk and Swanhild engage in rather awkwardly rhymed exchanges. Slipping in and out of "poetry" only makes matters worse, jolting the ear back into consciousness every time it manages to relax into the over-eager rhymes that race each other to the climax of each line.
Then there's the issue of structure. Just as Ibsen's hero exhorts his fellows to break free from conventions and live free from formal bonds and boundaries, so the playwright himself seems to attempt a form that circumvents accepted dramatic practices. The result is at best reading richly ambiguous and at worst deeply confused. And pacing doesn't help either; at around three hours long this domestic miniature sags and bags ungracefully in scenes of uniformly epic proportions.

Expert Advice
Keep in mind the season, climate and location of your hunt when choosing the right gear. Your hunting apparel needs to be tougher than your typical clothing, offering you weather-resistant protection, scent-masking technology and secure pockets for utility on the move.
When temperatures drop, your jacket is your first line of defense. Look for a tough, waterproof jacket to fend of the cold and rain. For versatility in the elements, layer with a lightweight zip-up, hunting hoodie or 3-in-1 jacket.
Layering is essential for any hunter. Look for under garments and baselayers that are constructed with moisture-wicking technology to draw perspiration off your skin and fabric for a fresh, dry feeling.
Ensure that your hunting gear is built with fabrication that moves quietly as you're stalking game. Choose pants that have a soft fabrication to minimize sound and deliver all-day comfort and mobility.
Conceal noise and camouflage yourself with breathable, noise-free bibs and overalls. Select a pair that is built with added pockets for stowing away tools and other essentials.
Choose outdoors apparel that represents your passion for the wilderness and the hunting lifestyle. Polos, graphic T-shirts and button-up tactical shirts can double as street clothes.
Seek out details in your hunting gear that helps you stand up to the elements. Reinforced stitching offers added durability, and removable liners in hunting pants and coats enable you to customize your level of warmth based on the weather. Clothing with UV-ray protection helps block out the sun's harmful rays. Abrasion-resistant fabrication enables your garment to last with you, season after season.

Throw Trenton a life ring
I ask that Gov. Chris Christie please step into the quagmire that is the City of Trenton. We residents were mailed facts about possible contamination of Trenton's water supply ("Water Works customers alerted of possible contaminant in water," April 16, and "Utility head: Water from Water Works perfectly safe," April 17). What should we expect next?
As it stands now, we have a lame city council and a mayor who thinks he should be re-elected ("Mack reaches out to constituents — one resident at a time," April 17) based upon nonperformance. The mayor is under federal indictment, and the city council just cannot fire him. It is my hope that the state of New Jersey will step in and save the city.
-- Gregory Bilecki,
Make more noise than the gun lobby
Columbine. Virginia Tech. Sandy Hook Elementary School. The Oregon mall shooting. Since Newtown last December, more than 3,300 people have died by gunfire.
Polling indicates that 90 percent of Americans, including gun owners, believe in sensible gun control such as background checks, bans on assault rifles and limiting magazine clips. Yet, senators (mostly Republican) have shot down the vote for sensible gun control ("Senate rejects stronger background checks for gun buyers," April 18). They are even against the gun trafficking portion of the bill. These senators are enablers of slaughter.
Don't talk to me about how guns don't kill people. They do kill people. Rather effectively. And, unfortunately, they do so without regard for the age of their victims. I am tired of gun worshipers using the obsolete Second Amendment to justify their "right" to stockpile lethal weapons that are killing our citizens.
Anyone who believes that our forefathers wouldn't be in favor of regulating access to truly high-powered weaponry is a fool.
The NRA distorts the U.S. Constitution and stuffs Congress members' pockets. It uses its influence to convince people that they need as many guns as they can get to hold off the coming (nonexistent) invasion of the federal government.
Enough, little boys. Let the adults repeal the Second Amendment, ban guns in the U.S.A. and prosecute those who do not comply. I'm tired of shootings taking place on a regular basis. Our response is always the same. A baseball player writes "God Bless" on his spikes. People say, "Our hearts and thoughts are with you." There are moments of silence at sporting events. These mean very little and do nothing.
It's time to start screaming. Loudly.
-- Vincent Graziano,
Welcome Inverso back to serve the publicI would like to respond to the letter "Isn't it ironic?" (April 10), against Republican Sen. Peter Inverso's bid for public office.
Sen. Inverso has a great legacy of creating jobs during his tenure at Roma Bank, which grew from about 100 employees to more than 300 and provided countless loans to businesses to create thousands more jobs.
The sale of Roma Savings to Investors Bank was a difficult decision made by the board of directors, not just Sen. Inverso, and most Roma employees were offered job opportunities with Investors Bank.
I resent the attack on Sen. Inverso, since I believe his life is the model of the great American dream. He grew up in the working-class neighborhood of Chambersburg in Trenton and worked his way through college. The senator is a family man who understands how hard it is to give our children the middle-class life. Mr. Inverso is a man of great integrity who always fought hard for the public worker, organized labor, veterans, senior citizens and the police and firefighters of District 14.
The senator sponsored Megan's Law. When the stock market was booming in the 1990s, Sen. Inverso made sure the middle-class public workers got their share of the economic pie by raising their pension payments 9 percent. One has to question why his opponent, Sen. Linda Greenstein (D-Monroe), has sat on her hands and let the pension system go unfunded and get to the brink of insolvency during her time in public service.
Sen. Inverso is beyond reproach and will again be a great addition to the New Jersey Senate when he is elected in November.
-- Joseph R. Abbott,
Shepherd turned away from his flock
"Preach ... with your life, with your witness. Inconsistency on the part of pastors and the faithful between what they say and what they do, between word and manner of life, is undermining the church's credibility." — Pope Francis, April 14
If these are the true sentiments of our new pope, then I don't have words to describe the inconsistencies between Trenton Diocese Bishop David O'Connell's past statements and his present actions. Bishop O'Connell has made statements concerning his dedication to Catholic education and his unwillingness to close any schools before a sustainability study can be done. Now, he has made the decision to close St. Mary School in Bordentown and has no apparent interest in following through with a 30-minute meeting, promised by his vicar of education, to listen to a professionally developed, viable plan for solvency and sustainability of the school.
To add to already existing tension, the bishop spoke unkindly of the people of St. Mary during a public radio broadcast, "The Shepherd's Voice." He has misjudged the St. Mary faithful and turned his back on them.
I fear that the price of his actions may be very high in terms of the spiritual health of his flock. The parents, as well as the children of St. Mary, feel abandoned and rejected by their own diocesan pastoral caregiver. They are understandably hurt and angry. Their faith is being drastically challenged by the very one who has been chosen to guard and nurture it.
-- Ceil Masella,
School choice for better education now
Over the past few months, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has been in the national media spotlight because of his divisive remarks about gun control, his dissension with the national Republican Party, and his non-invite to the 2013 CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) colloquium. Unfortunately, his efforts on behalf of reforming public education in New Jersey have not gotten the press they deserve.
He recently addressed questions about a proposed school voucher program, the Opportunity Scholarship Act, during a town hall meeting in Paterson, where he laid out the main principles for enacting a voucher program and permitting inner-city children to enroll in another school.
Most parents seek homes outside of the inner cities just to find a better school for their kids. Poor parents do not have that luxury. While one participant kept shouting "Fix our public schools!" Gov. Christie advanced the proper response: It's not about more money, but more opportunity. Instead of forcing urban students to suffer in silence, waiting for their schools to improve, they should have the opportunity to go to another, better-performing school.
Gov. Christie was right to dismiss the hollow indictment that vouchers would "destroy public education." Research by the Rand Corporation has refuted the argument that more money will make better schools, whiles studies from Stanford University have confirmed that statewide vouchers and school choice create a better educational environment for everyone, suburban or urban.

HALIFAX – A pair of Halifax men are facing charges after a break and enter in Hammonds Plains on Tuesday.
Around 9:50 a.m. RCMP responded to a residence on Lake Mist Drive when the homeowner called to report a break and enter in progress.
"To his dismay he found a car running in his driveway and a TV set sticking out of the back," said RCMP spokesman Cpl. Scott MacRae.
MacRae said the suspects ran away, but RCMP and Halifax Regional Police officers contained the area and found both men within an hour.
He said the incident "hits home" the importance of neighbours contacting police when they see suspicious activity.
Two Halifax men, aged 18 and 22, face charges of break and enter and possession of stolen property. One man is also charged with a breach of conditions.
Both appear in Halifax provincial court Wednesday.

When I look at a recipe the first thing that hits me is the number of ingredients. If the ingredient list is a mile long and the directions take up several pages, forget it. I'm not doing it. I suppose that's why Julia Child and I have never been buds.
If you have ever tried to follow along with one of Julia's french recipes in her famous book "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" you know it's not a book for the faint of heart, the simple minded or the culinary challenged. Let's be honest, a book that implies you must "Master" something tells me right off the bat that it's out of my league. I'm not a master of anything, not even my own dogs.
The Julia ingredient lists are long and sometimes bizarre. No part of the animal is left uncooked. But who really wants to eat something's heart even if the recipe has a lovely french name? Julia's techniques are sometimes quite difficult and require pages of illustrations for the numbered steps. It makes me sweat just thinking about having to follow all that and a sweaty cook makes me nervous.
But I do envy people who actually master the art of any kind of cooking. It speaks volumes to their dedication to the culinary arts. I love watching old Julia clips and remember watching her on public television when I was a child. I thought the way she talked was funny. And I watched in awe as she stretched out some poor animal carcass in an attempt to teach simple housewives how to chop it up or set it aflame....on purpose.
And there is Martha. Yes, that Martha. Martha Stewart. She is so smart about everything (except stock trading) and I am smart about.....well not much. Just watching Martha on television making the most complex recipe look like something I SHOULD be able to do at home inspires me to give things a try. But how many of us actually have a Foie Gras mold to cook up some goose liver pate' sitting in our cabinets amongst the Corning Ware dishes with missing lids?
The complex is not always the best way. Add a hundred ingredients to fresh cabbage and it no longer tastes much like cabbage. But add just a dash of salt and pepper to a warm skillet of chopped cabbage and the flavors burst in your mouth and calls you to enjoy the gift that is fresh produce. Give me a complex french recipe and I'm likely to burn it and give french cooking a bad name. But give me a simple recipe with a handful of fresh ingredients and I can be inspired and want to cook more. I think there is a lesson in that.
At 43 I'm having to look at food in a totally different way than I ever have. I'm having to get to the basics. Minimal ingredients and simple techniques so that I can work food around a multitude of food allergies. And try and take as many chemicals and preservatives out of my family's meals so that we can all be as healthy as possible now and long term.
I have absolutely no desire to master cooking, french or otherwise. I just like to cook and want to share the love of cooking and the worth of cooking healthy with others.
And speaking of cabbage, here's a recipe that's simple and yummy. No carcass stretching or Foie Gras molds needed.
Sausage and Cabbage
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 lb. link sausage (all natural chicken sausage with no antibotics if you can find it)
1 head of fresh, tender cabbage (organic if you can get it), chopped
1 medium sweet onion. chopped
salt and pepper to taste
a hit of cayenne pepper
Chop the sausage into 1" pieces. Brown the sausage in a skillet with the olive oil. When sausage is browned well, add in the onions and cook until tender. Then add in the cabbag and seasonings. Cook until the cabbage wilts down. Serve immediately.

Dutch MINI Car Campaign "How Do You Drive Your Coffee?" Doesn't Make Any Sense
File this under Nearly Nonsensical: A Dutch ad campaign for MINI called "How Do You Drive Your Coffee?" has people drive a coffee-colored car, analyzes their driving style based on data pulled from the car, and then assigns them a type of espresso based on said driving style. They do, for some reason, have a MINI fitted out with an espresso machine in the trunk, but the overall idea that the way you drive has to do with what kind of hot bean tea you want to put in your mouth highlights the bad habit of associating non-food behavior with food flavor.
We tend to think of spicy food as somehow linked to a "spicy" personality, meat as somehow manly, and dark-roasted coffee as "bold," and branding consultants tend to capitalize on that. But these are pigeonholes worth fighting our way out of in the name of good eating, no matter your market segment. We are not defined by what we consume!

Last Friday, comedian Paul F. Tompkins did impressions of Hoboken's "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro on the ComedySportz LA show "Up Late with Adam Fisher."
Tompkins, who has previously done parodies of the TLC star (including an overdub that says the show is scripted, ripped off "Ace of Cakes" and perpetuates Italian stereotypes) came dressed as the boss and spoke about his latest commission - a Death cake.
As the Boss, Tompkins "explained" that an eccentric billionaire pondering the meaning of this life and the next asked him to create the cake.
"When I think about it, I get emotional," said Tompkins, "choking up" as he mocked Valastro. "Death comes to us all," he explained, calling the Grim Reaper a guy with a "crazy big knife on a stick."
He also made fun of Valastro's "angry" face and tendency to speak loudly. At one point, after host Adam Fisher asked him a question about the death cake, Tompkins snapped, "Stop yelling at me! I want to be the one who yells!"
Check out the parody for yourself:
What do you think of Tompkins's impression?

GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Van Andel Arena announced ticket prices and an on-sale date for Keith Urban's upcoming show.
The country star and "American Idol" judge will kick off the third leg of his "Light the Fuse" tour at the venue, 7 p.m. Jan. 9, 2014.

"The traditional model is, you have a matter and you either do it yourself or you hand it over," Mark Sifferlen, a senior in-house counsel at Cummins Inc., tells us in one of this issue's Profiles in Partnership. "That's just how a lot of law firms work."
He's right, but that's not how all law firms work. It's certainly not true of Cummins' profile partner, Baker & Daniels LLP, which serves as an almost seamless extension of the company's law department. Nor does it reflect the employee training collaboration of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated and Spilman Thomas & Battle, PLLC.
Exceptional law firms find ways to go beyond the traditional model -- to anticipate their clients' needs and provide service that is more than a fungible commodity.
Take Duane Morris Partner Daniel Winslow, for example. His "Economical Litigation Agreement" concept has the potential to revolutionize dispute resolution. He hatched the idea -- which combines the speed and low cost of arbitration with the ability to appeal in litigation -- while a trial judge with the simple aim of saving litigants time and money. He has developed it on his own, with input from ADR experts and corporate counsel, and will have it ready for contracts by the end of the year. Now, that's service.
This issue contains several more examples of law firms and inside counsel alike who have taken pains to break down the traditional model and are finding success. We hope you find their stories useful.

The Syracuse Common Council this afternoon unanimously approved the city's 2009-10 budget.
Before passing Mayor Matt Driscoll's $633.6 million budget, the council made a few small changes, mainly giving another $250,000 to the Say Yes to Education program, specifically to fund 100 new full-day pre-kindergarten slots for city children. They also reduced several budget lines by a total of $250,000 to pay for that move.
An additional $100,000 for Home headquarters to expand a low-interest home renovation program will be paid for out of the current year's budget, so it was not voted on Wednesday.
The budget holds the line on taxes and forgoes any layoffs. It uses $25 million in reserves.

To fulfill our promise to deliver the information you say you want and need, we are constantly innovating here at Design News. To that end, I am very pleased to describe two new editorial sections we're introducing in this issue.
You've told us that you want more practical informationthe kind of real-world tips and tricks that help you do your jobs better. So this issue marks the debut of our new column, "Cool Software Tricks: Extremely Helpful Stuff You Won't Find in the User's Manual." Check it out on page 60.
The idea developed out of many conversations with you, our readers, about the kind of information you value most from a trade magazine. Insider tips and how-to information scored big on your list, and you said you were especially interested in how other engineers adapted or customized software tools to make their lives easier.
Our goal with "Cool Software Tricks" is to show you clever things that engineers either have figured out how to do themselves with their software or have pushed their software vendors to develop for them. Stuff that you wouldn't know about if you simply read the user's manual.
In this issue, we describe how to painlessly convert old Fortran programs to a Windows-based platform. Prompted by engineers who were looking to deal with their legacy Fortran code, Mathsoft's John Sheehan developed the step-by-step procedure. He even shows engineers how to capture the margin of error associated with Fortranjust in case they need it for backward compatibility.
If you have a cool software trick yourself, we'd love to hear about it. Send me the details, including any documentation and supporting code, to my e-mail address. If we publish your trick, we'll send you a super cool, limited-edition Design News t-shirt.
You also told us that you need more information on regulatory issues. So in this issue we're introducing Green Scene, a column entirely devoted to the latest news and developments in environmental regulations that impact design engineers. We'll be covering initiatives like the Regulation on Hazardous Substances (RoHS), scheduled to go into effect on July 1, and how they will affect you. We'll also be covering the uncertainty surrounding some of these regulations, including the brouhaha over part numbers, and what that means to you. Check it out on page 34. Let us know what you think and what issues you'd like to see us cover here in the future!
Also, I am pleased to announce that Paul Sharke joins us this month as our new motion control/automation editor. Paul brings to this position strong writing and reporting skills. And as a former engineer himself, he knows exactly what kind of information engineers like you find most compelling. Expect to see great things from him.
We'd love your feedback on what we're doing, and stay tuned for more innovations in the future!

JACKSON, MI – She is a 9-year-old girl experiencing significant trauma, and she was not his first child victim.
Two women were prepared to testify Brian Otto sexually molested them, too, Jackson County Assistant Prosecutor Kati Rezmierski told Circuit Judge Susan Beebe on Wednesday, May 29.
Rezmierski asked the judge to sentence Otto harshly and Beebe did. She exceeded the recommended minimum sentencing range and sent Otto, 36, to prison for 16 years and eight months to 25 years for sexually assaulting the girl, a relative, when she was 6 and 7 years old.
Otto, who has already served more than a year of his sentence, pleaded guilty in April to first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
He was accused of having multiple contacts with the child while her mother was gone and Otto was with her. The girl told her mother of the abuse and the woman reported it to police in February 2012.
"There are truly no winners in this case," Otto's lawyer, Alfred Brandt, said.
The girl will have to undergo continued counseling for issues that will long follow her, he said, and Otto will not enjoy his children growing.
Brandt asked the judge to sentence Otto within the state-recommended range.
When given a chance to speak, Otto did not.
The girl, circling feelings on a form, noted she was sad, angry and confused about what happened to her, said Susan Vogt, coordinator for the prosecutor's office victims rights team.
The girl asked the judge to send Otto to a prison "away from Jackson," Vogt said.
"I'm sad he did this," she said or wrote, according to Vogt.
She said she felt guilty.
"That is such a tragedy that someone so young feels guilty," Beebe said.
The girl's parents "rallied around her" from the moment she disclosed the abuse and she quickly started therapy, but she continued to experience trauma, Rezmierski said.
As an 8-year-old she refused to leave home to celebrate the Fourth of July by watching fireworks, Rezmierski said.
Two other relatives were to testify at trial they were molested by Otto in "almost the exact same way," Rezmierski said.
She said the judge could not "make it right" for the 9-year-old, but she could make it right for the community.
