Talent Left on the 2015 Draft Floor
Josh W
July 14 2015 02:02PM
Every year at the NHL Entry Draft a number of teams make really smart decisions on their picks (Islanders, Jets) while other teams seem to fall on their face (Bruins). At the end of the 210 picks, inevitably there are players every year who are not chosen despite showing potential to be better than average picks. This makes these players currently Unrestricted Free Agents and available to be signed to contracts by teams who feels they have potential.
Looking back at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, MoneyPuck used PCS to look back at those players who had a high chance of success at the NHL level. (Un)surprisingly many were invited to teams camps and many went on to become important players on their teams, invited to World Juniors, and some were even signed to NHL teams.
With a current baseline of 8% of forwards and 5.6% of defencemen drafted move on to become NHL regulars, we can use PCS to look back at the 2015 draft and see players who should be invited to camps and are good bets to spend an ELC on.

- Name: Kurt Henderson
- E-mail: email@example.com
- Age: 29
- Where: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
- Height: 6"
- Weight: 195 Lbs.
- Years Bodybuilding :15
- Favorite Bodypart: Arms

- Favorite Supplements: Whey protein isolate,
How Did You Get Started?
I first started weight training at my school gym with a couple friends. I got my first real gym membership as a birthday gift and started training on a more regular basis. Then, one day, a buddy suggested I put my hard work to some use and I entered my first competition. I've had the bug ever since.
What Workout Plan Worked Best For You?
I try and change my workout every 8-10 weeks so body parts don't get too used to being worked on the same day all the time. It's good to move things around once in a while in order to "shock" your muscles. My favorite workout plan is pretty basic - a six day split hitting one body part per day:
- Day 1: Chest
- Day 2: Back
- Day 3: Legs
- Day 4: Shoulders
- Day 5: Arms
- Day 6: Abs/calves/forearms
- Day 7: Off
What Nutrition Plan Has Worked Best For You?
What Supplements Have Given You The Greatest Gains?
As a natural athlete I've tried just about everything under the sun to gain that competitive edge. Along with a strict diet I've found that nothing beats the basics:
Why do you love Bodybuilding?
Bodybuilding is a constant learning experience with everything always changing and evolving. With every competition I strive to improve upon the previous one - enhancing a weaker body part or stepping on stage more shredded than before. In that way I feel like a beginner in a sport that has no limits. At times it can be a bit discouraging but it's always a challenge and gives me a great feeling of accomplishment.
What Are Your Future Bodybuilding Plans?
I will be competiting in the upcoming Alberta Championships. Wish me luck!
What One Tip Would You Give Other Bodybuilders?
Set realistic goals for yourself then start moving towards them. It's a slow process. I've seen many potential bodybuilders set lofty goals then stop training when they don't attain them. Stay level headed. You may win one show then come in dead last in the next - that's the nature of the sport. There is always someone better than you who's been training longer and knows more than you do. Beating yourself from the previous show is the ultimate goal - not beating the guy down the street. You can't control who shows up or what they've done, you can only control yourself. Try not to be too selfish with what you know. Share what you've learned and you may learn something in return. Everyone has their secrets but everyone gets help from someone, so help them back.
Proper dieting is just as important as working out - but reward yourself too. Life is too short to be eating chicken breasts everyday. Don't sacrifice good form for weights that are too heavy. Move up slowly. Half-assed form will yield half-assed results. Find someone you trust and listen to that one person. Everyone suddenly becomes an expert when your getting ready for a show and has an opinion on what you should or shouldn't be doing. Those people don't know anything. Be professional if you win, be professional if you lose. Bodybuilding can be a great supplement to your life but can cause you great misery if you let it dominate you. If you can't find any joy in it then you shouldn't be involved. Train hard, be consistent, and have fun!
Who Are Your Favorite Bodybuilders?
Kevin Levrone, Jeff Willet and Arnold (of course). Also my mentors Dan Dufresne and Mike Todd who taught me everything I know.

She also sponsors a Science and Engineering club for middle school students, is a member of the NCS board of trustees, and a member of the Society of Women Engineers. Her interest in teaching and mentoring girls in science education arose from her work experience in a field with few female colleagues. STEM activities introduce a unique problem solving approach that should be a part of all students' experience at all grade levels, and Ehrlich believes that exposing girls specifically to such a program would introduce them to the full range of educational and career opportunities available to them in these fields in which women remain significantly underrepresented.

A female student from Marystown Central High School has confessed to creating an online poll discovered last week by students from the school.
Sgt. Larry Turner, with the Burin Peninsula RCMP, told The Southern Gazette Friday the student who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act will not be facing charges in relation to the matter.
The Gazette broke the story about the poll this week.
A release issued by the RCMP said the girl was apologetic and embarrassed by her actions.
Police say they are satisfied the student understands the impact of what she has done, as well as the potential actions such as this could have caused.
Titled "Biggest slut of MCHS," the poll asked people to pick one or more names from a list of eight female students.
But in the statement released Friday, the creator of the list offers her apologies to the students involved.
"I am truly sorry for the embarrassment, humiliation and emotional pain that I have caused to the girls involved, their families and friends," she writes. "My actions were not meant to target anyone on the list; the girls were chosen randomly."
She went on to say she feels each girl is a good person who did not deserve to be disrespected, and that she regretted her involvement in creating the poll, and, if she had her time back, she would not have started it.
The news release said the RCMP were made aware of several polls similar to this one that were created regarding other schools in the area, and around the province.
"RCMP has contacted the administrators for the web-based site and have requested all such polls be deleted immediately," the news release said.
Officials say site administrators have been co-operative with police throughout the investigation.
The RCMP also issued a reminder to students, parents and residents of the Burin Peninsula.
"Although social media is largely anonymous, attention must be given to those utilizing such forms of media for potentially harmful means," the RCMP said. "What may appear innocent to some, can be seriously damaging to another's self-esteem and public image."
In the future, the RCMP will be partnering with local schools, other involved government departments and the Burin Peninsula Voice Against Violence Committee to conduct presentations on the use and impact of social media.
"The RCMP asks parents to be vigilant regarding their children's use of computers and cell phone-based access points," wrote Const. Stephane Esculier. "Further, be open to communicating (the) dangers as well as positive uses of the Internet at home, in school, and on their own time."
The Southern Gazette contacted administration at Marystown Central High School but at the time of this up-date they had not been notified that a person had come forward in the matter.

London's best German bakeries
Discover where to find the greatest Deutsch delights in the capital
© Rob Greig
Whether you're looking for a proper pretzel or pumpkin seed-studded kürbiskernbort, there are few places that do them better than these authentic bäckereien. For more bready treats, check out our pick of the city's best artisan bakeries.
The best German bakeries in London
Backhaus Bakery
German breads in all shapes, forms and flavours are made by the Backhaus ('baking house') team, and sold on weekends at Borough Market. A favourite is the moist, dark vollkornbrot (wholewheat bread, stuffed with all kinds of wheats), so heavy you could knock someone out with a loaf. Make sure you also try the streuselkuchen, topped with buttery nuggets of crumble. And, if you happen to to be near Richmond, stop by the Backhaus bakery shop.
- Borough Market/175 Ashburnham Road, Ham, Richmond, TW10 7NR
In typical German chain bakery style, you'll find a vast selection of self-service baked goods at the Hammersmith Bakehaus. From Berliners (deep-fried doughnuts filled with jam) and nut-nougat-filled croissants to spelt and rye breads, there's plenty to make the German expat heart beat faster. Lunchtime options include sandwiches with German fillings such as fleischkäse (slices of baked meatloaf) or schnitzel (flattened, breaded and fried veal), but there's also weisswurst (Bavarian sausage) and currywurst (sausage and curry sauce).
- 71 King St, W6 9HW
This pretzel bakery is a common sight in German high streets and train stations. For the past four months, Ditsch has been targeting London's hungry commuters with its warm, soft pretzels. Grab an excellent cheese and bacon pretzel from the stall outside Victoria station, or go for a more unusual sweet cinnamon pretzel – not made using the traditional lye solution, but instead topped with cinnamon sugar. Ditsch pretzels can also be found in the bakery section of most Waitrose stores.
- Entrance to Victoria station, SW1V 1JU
German Deli
This little shop near Borough Market caters for German expat cravings. Products range from Ritter Sport chocolate to German baking essentials such as Dr Oetker vanilla sugar. The smallish bread selection includes roggenmischbrot – a light rye and wheat sourdough loaf – and pumpkin seed kürbiskernbort. While you're there, get some German wurst or a jar of pflaumenmus (plum jam) to spread on your brot. There's also a stall at Broadway Market on Saturdays.
- 3 Park St, SE1 9AB
When's the last time you had a nice slice of German bread? Not recently? You're probably not alone. Deutschland's baking prowess is rarely discussed in Britain, but Kamps – a German chain similar to Gregg's, only much nicer – is determined to change that with its two London branches. Don't get any romantic ideas about lederhosen and Oompah bands though, as the spaces are clean and functional, with huge bakers' ovens on display (baked goods are made on-site).
- 154 Tottenham Court Road, W1T 7NQ
- Price band: 1/4
Not German but Austrian, this Islington café has a dlsplay of Viennese delights to welcome customers. Juicy apfelstrudel (a thin, elastic pastry, wrapped around a tangy apple compote) competes with dark chocolatey sachertorte. But it's a humbler, moist topfentorte that is the real star. Austria's version of a cheesecake is made with topfen, which has a more grainy texture than the cream cheese used in the US version. Kipferl also has semmel (breadrolls) and laugensemmel (a bread boiled in lye solution, studded with salt beads), to enjoy.
- 20 Camden Passage, N1 8ED

Pet Food for Mice, Hamsters, and Rats Recalled Due to Salmonella Health Risk
EMSL Analytical offers a wide variety of turnaround times for food testing services, including Salmonella testing
So far no human or animal illnesses have been reported in association with this recall.
In pets, symptoms of Salmonella poisoning can include lethargy, diarrhea, bloody stools, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite, abdominal pain, and possibly death.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most people infected with Salmonella will experience diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after contracting the infection. Symptoms usually last for 4 to 7 days, and many people recover without treatment. However, small children, the elderly, and immocompromised individuals are more likely to develop a severe illness. In those cases, patients require hospitalization and treatment with antibiotics. The CDC estimates that approximately 400 people die of acute salmonellosis each year.
"In testing for foodborne pathogens like Salmonella, EMSL Analytical provides the pet food industry with scientifically and legally defensible data," states EMSL's National Food Microbiology Supervisor, Joy Dell'Aringa, M.S., R.M. (N.R.M.), C.F.S.P. "We also offer a wide variety of turnaround times to give our clients flexibility in the process."
For more information on EMSL's food testing services, please contact EMSL at (800) 220-3675, email@example.com, www.EMSL.com, or www.FoodTestingLab.com.

More Security Firms Attribute DNC Server Breach to Russian Hackers
Two more cyber-security firms report finding evidence linking the Democratic National Committee's server breach to known Russian hacking groups.Two more cyber-security firms have found evidence that the hack of the Democratic National Convention's servers bears the hallmarks of known Russian espionage groups. On June 20, Fidelis Cybersecurity published its own analysis of the malware used in the attack, concluding that the attackers likely were members of two Russian espionage groups. Earlier claims made by incident response firm CrowdStrike about the attack were well-supported by the evidence, wrote Michael Buratowski, senior vice president for Fidelis' security consulting services, in a blog post published June 20. "Based on our comparative analysis we agree with CrowdStrike and believe that (Russian espionage) groups were involved in successful intrusions at the DNC," he said. "The malware samples contain data and programing elements that are similar to malware that we have encountered in past incident response investigations and are linked to similar threat actors." Incident response firm Mandiant, owned by security giant FireEye, also agreed with CrowdStrike's assessment, according to a statement sent by the firm to the Washington Post. However, a spokesperson for the company declined to comment when reached by eWEEK.
On June 14, the DNC contacted security-services firm CrowdStrike to respond to a suspected breach. The company quickly found signs that two Russian groups, which it refers to as Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear, had infiltrated the DNC's network and stole information, CrowdStrike stated in a June 15 analysis. CrowdStrike made this assertion based on a variety of characteristics including their tools, tactics and procedures, commonly known as TTPs.

Google Gmail Review: Preliminary Impressions
I've been using Google's new Gmail service for the past few days as part of the second or third round of beta testers. Apparently Google is gradually opening up the pool of testers and is allocating a fixed number of "invitations" each round (a smart way to heighten anticipation). Here are my initial impressions.

Waked by this place in many occasions. Looking for a late night snack and a cold beer and Palo Alto closes down by 9 PM on weeknights. This place was a beacon in night.
Great tacos, nice people and cold beers. What more is needed.
I really enjoyed the wet green burritos and chimichangas here. Very inexpensive given the meat to filler rice ratio. Large selection including huevos dishes available all day.
Their veggie burrito is delicious (and cheap). They also have a good variety of salsas. There is outside seating in the back, perfect for lunch.
this is a neighborhood taqueria that offers a variety of casual Mexican food. The prices are very modest. Odering is done at a counter and pick up the food at the other end of the counter when your order is called. the quality of the food was great. It had excellent flavor and cooked nicely. I was visiting Palo Alto,...
Been traveling on business to the Bay area for the last 6 months. My per diem barely covers the price of meals in this town. Add a couple beers and it's coming out of pocket. Anyway, I grew up in AZ. Spent a lot of time down in Sonora, MX on weekends, doing what you do down in Mexico and...
I have had the green wet burrito. It was amazing. Big portion. It is not a chique ambiance, but who cares the food is great.
So not gonna lie, the food wasn't horrible, but the atmosphere was a little scary. It was dirty everywhere, and the little side buffet with salsas and what not in it were super not appetizing at all. And omg, that place had a smell to it that was less than pleasing. If you want a cheap burrito though, this is...
Great food amazing portions
Authentic Mexican food a must visit
Restaurant for sure try their burrito
Even the staff are warm and friendly
Stopped here because they were open late and seemed to have a good crowd, a vote of confidence. Order at the counter, English seems to be the second language, but that's what I wanted, authentic! Self serve fresh chips and salsa bar to accompany your entree. If you want good food at a good value, this is it. If you...
Good range of burritos, tacos, soups. Order at one end of the counter, pick up at the other. Food generally what it should be. Serve-yourself embellishments (chips, sauces, chilies) rare.
Fast service eat in or take out. Good value. Atmosphere it does not have. If you want sombreros on the wall and chips on the table, go to Cecilias, one...

It's no secret that the NBA is on the mainstream backburner right now — stuck in that period when everybody is paying attention to football and the MLB playoff chase, when pretty much every important free agent has been signed, and when training camp isn't exactly right around the corner. But in places like Oklahoma City, they're just as basketball-obsessed as they were during the NBA Finals. Even on days when there's no other NBA news to report, there's still something coming out of OKC. Lately it's been all about James Harden and Serge Ibaka. More specifically, after Ibaka signed his $48 million deal over the summer, it's been about whether the Thunder will have room to sign Harden. The Rockets, Mavs and Suns have been mentioned as teams that will go after The Bearded One hard in free agency, and that list is only gonna grow … But at least according to Kendrick Perkins, Harden isn't going anywhere. Perk was quoted by The Oklahoman saying the team is "getting close" to re-upping with Harden on an extension. "Once James gets here it's nothing to be said," Perk said. "He'll see his family and that's all he needs. So once he sees everybody's faces that's enough said." We're not saying we know Harden better than Perkins knows him, but once Harden envisions the other faces he'll be seeing next summer — Franklin, Grant, Jackson, Price Akeem — and remembers he should be able to see a lot more of them in another city than he'll see in OKC, family might become less important … The biggest stories in basketball yesterday were from the college ranks. Jim Calhoun is retiring after 26 years and three national championships at UConn, and Notre Dame is joining the ACC in basketball (and every other sport except football). Calhoun has something of a complicated legacy. On one hand, he won a ton of games, put a ton of guys in the pros, and was the primary reason UConn is now considered a national powerhouse. On the other hand, especially in recent years, there was always some kind of borderline scandal hovering over the program. And because of that it kind of feels like Calhoun is walking away before a real storm hits, kind of like Pete Carroll at USC. When you think about Calhoun, do you think of the good stuff first, or the bad? … Keep reading to hear the latest free-agent rumors…

Why must Trump make a conscious effort to find talented, qualified female voices for the good of his team? There is a corpus of empirical research demonstrating that adding women to decision-making groups improves outcomes.
Steve Bannon's background and reputation is steeped in accusations of misogyny and assault, and critics are protesting his appointment.
Trump's problem with many Republican women is not political incorrectness. It's not some largely harmless bit of ribaldry. It's that any woman who's been around the block once or twice can see the guy's got a screw loose.
The most prominent woman to emerge from the women's movement in America is Hillary Rodham Clinton, yet, because of her stature as a historic figure and the events that made her one, she is often misunderstood, especially on the issue of gender politics.
A 20 year-old clip shows how Trump's misogyny is his one consistent belief.
Two questions present themselves: How much damage is the GOP willing to let Trump do to the party's image with women? And what can it do to stand up to him on this issue?
His vision of America is one in which women have no rights — and it's not far from becoming a reality.
*Shakes head*
"You call that a push-up?"
The perpetual dearth of non-beautiful actresses surely reflects the socializing preferences of the white men in charge.
Will Clinton do better by women than Obama did for blacks?
While women have a long history among violent militant organizations in Europe and Latin America, female attackers have been far more rare in such organizations as al-Qaida, where women are normally encouraged to raise families and tend homes for male fighters.
A day after a man convicted as a minor in a brutal 2012 gang rape and murder in New Delhi was released from detention, India's Supreme Court on Monday rejected appeals to extend his sentence in a case that has sparked a passionate debate over juvenile justice.
In 2015, female candidates for state legislative seats are just as likely to win as their male competitors. The challenge is getting them to run.
Defense Secretary Ash Carter says most of the services favored opening all jobs to women — and he overrode the Marine Corps seeking partial exceptions.
Federal appeals judges on Monday agreed with a lower court that a politically polarizing 2013 abortion law is unconstitutional, finding it endangered the health of women.
Jonathan Butler started a hunger strike over the way minorities were treated at the University of Missouri Columbia. One of his grievances was that Planned Parenthood services had been cut from the school.
After a thorough review of the benefits and limitations of mammograms, the nation's top cancer-fighting organization is advising women that they can wait until they are 45 years old to start using the tests to screen for breast cancer.
Niche dating sites need women in order to attract men. And how do you attract attractive women? With fakes.
Why do anti-abortion activists and politicians exhaust themselves trying to destroy Planned Parenthood, while ignoring embryo-destroying fertility clinics?
Women between the ages of 25 and 29 and ages 45 and older had babies at the same rate in 2014 as they did in 2013.
Using her new status as a grandmother could soften Hillary Clinton's image and help her win.
Over her dead body: The movement for putting a woman's visage on the $20 gains some political push.
Survey finds voting preferences for nascent groups — women with graduate degrees, minorities, and millennials — trend towards Democrats.

Today's IndyCar Series and Firestone Indy Lights headlines
1. Tale of the tape: IndyCar Series and Major League Baseball share Opening Day
2. Faces in new places
3. Drivers eager to start season at St. Petersburg
4. Firestone Indy Lights debuts new qualifying format at St. Petersburg
5. Gregory & Appel Insurance sponsors Securing Tomorrow Award
6. Carpenter, Conway keeping tabs on NCAA tourney
1. Tale of the tape: IndyCar Series and Major League Baseball share Opening Day: The IndyCar Series and Major League Baseball will open the season on the same day in 2009.
2. Faces in new places: An offseason that featured numerous drivers switching teams came to a climax in the final days leading up to the IndyCar Series 2009 season opener April 5 at St. Petersburg. Ryan Hunter-Reay, Darren Manning and Alex Tagliani used the final days before the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg to solidify rides in the race.
Hunter-Reay, who courted and was courted by several teams throughout the offseasn, locked up a fulltime ride with Vision Racing, while Manning and Tagliani secured rides for St. Petersburg with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing and Conquest Racing, respectively.
"I'm used to jumping in cars at the last minute, with the pressure on with no practice," said Hunter-Reay, who drove for Rahal Letterman Racing since the midway point of 2007, earning Bombardier Learjet Rookie of the Year honors in 2007 and his first series victory in 2008. "That's what I did with Rahal in '07 and that worked out well.
"I haven't been in the car at all, so the first session in St. Pete, depends on how much we need to change around. The braking, the steering rack, all these things are fitted to the driver and the driver's preferences, so we might have to climb through some of that. But there's no reason why we can't be very competitive this weekend. It's a street circuit, and this is probably the best venue I could ask for to start out because I feel at home there."
Manning and Tagliani are glad to be competing at St. Petersburg and hopeful they can work deals to compete in additional races.
"I guess I've been on the minds of (team co-owners) Dennis (Reinbold) and Robbie (Buhl) since the end of last year," said Manning, who spent the last two seasons with A.J. Foyt Racing. "I got the call, and fortunately I wasn't doing anything else.
"I know St. Pete very well and can offer the team and their primary driver, Mike (Conway), a good head of experience and hopefully some good speed and a good performance that I've always had."
Tagliani started the final three races of 2008 with Conquest Racing, finishing fourth in the non-points race at Australia.
"It was definitely a fantastic opportunity for me last year to join the IndyCar Series for the first time and have the opportunity to do it with Conquest," Tagliani said. "We gelled well. We went to Australia, and we had a great weekend, very competitive. So we're motivated. This event unfortunately happens really late, but we're working on something for the rest of the year, and it's really important that we join the IndyCar Series in St. Pete, and we feel that with everybody on board and with the group of people that Conquest has, we could have a good car and definitely do a good showing in St. Pete, even if it's difficult conditions."
3. Drivers eager to start season at St. Petersburg: IndyCar Series drivers arrived in St. Petersburg April 2 in anticipation of the opening practice session on April 3. This is the first time that the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg will be the season-opening race. Below are select comments from drivers about the weekend:
Marco Andretti (No. 26 Andretti Green): "I can't think of a much better place to start the season. You have the setting, hopefully you have the weather. The track is quite enjoyable for the drivers. Obviously what makes the event is the city's support and the fans." (About AGR's chances to win) "I think it's going to be super tough. I think the top 10 is going to be stacked, super-competitive, super-close. Having said that, we've really been working on our road course cars in the offseason and I've been working on my road course game as well, just staying fresh. I think we'll be right in the middle of it. Hopefully we hit the ground running with a decent baseline and just tune it in and make the right changes."
Tony Kanaan (No. 11 Team 7-Eleven): "It's a great event. I've finished on the podium every time I've been here, so for me it's been a good place to be. It's great to open the season here. The atmosphere that the city brings, it's such a beautiful place. There couldn't be a better place to start."
Graham Rahal (No. 02 McDonald's Racing Team): (About coming back to the site of his first win) "I'm still not sure that's it's actually hit me. Maybe the first time I get introduced as the defending champ it might hit. Truthfully, my focus is just to do it again. More than anything that's what I want to happen and that's what I've set my sights on. I'm biased toward St. Pete. I enjoy being here. I think it's a great race, so I'm looking forward to getting the season started here." (About having more confidence with a win under his belt) "We thought we could win last year, but certainly we were surprised. We hadn't really ever turned a lap in a road course in these cars, and so for us to come in and make it happen certainly wasn't expected, but we knew if there was a shot for us to win an IndyCar Series race early on it was going to be here. This was our best shot, so fortunately we made it happen. This year, our cars are pretty good on the road course, in testing they've been pretty strong. I've been pretty happy with them, pretty comfortable, so from that standpoint I think we all should be more confident coming into this season. Obviously not overconfident because there's still a lot of work to do. I think the Penske boys are very good, and so it's definitely going to be a tough weekend, but we should have a shot."
E.J. Viso (No. 13 PDVSA HVM Racing): (About returning to St. Petersburg, the first track he'll race at a second time) "I think it's great. Last year we started the championship with no references, no data, no knowledge, nothing. So coming back to a track that I've been to before is a big relief. I know what to expect, where to push. I know where we were strong last year, where our weaknesses were. We know where we need to start working as soon as we hit the track. We're a lot better prepared, and we're in a better position."
4. Firestone Indy Lights debuts new qualifying format at St. Petersburg: A new street course qualifying format will greet Firestone Indy Lights teams when preparations for the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg begin on April 3.
Teams will be split into two groups with the fastest overall time determining the race's polesitter. The fastest car from the non pole-winning group will occupy the other front-row starting spot with the remainder of the polesitter's group occupying the odd positions, while the outside polesitter's group will make up the even positions.
"With 28 cars entered for our races, we felt like this was the fairest way for everyone to have a chance to compete for pole," said Tony Cotman, vice president of competition for the Indy Racing League, sanctioning body of Firestone Indy Lights and the series' race director. "This format mimics the system used by IndyCar Series where we've seen that splitting the field increases the opportunities for a clean lap in qualifying."
The qualifying format is one of many new looks for the series in 2008, which features one of the deepest lineups in series history. Eighteen drivers will be making their first start on the streets of St. Petersburg alongside 10 series veterans, including two past champions and six previous race-winners.
"I'm really excited to get the 2009 season started," said J.R. Hildebrand, who moves from RLR/Andersen Racing to the championship-winning Andretti Green Racing/AFS Racing team . "We have done a great deal of testing this off-season and things have been going very well, especially with our non-oval program. The AFS/AGR crew has been working really hard this offseason so I hope to be able to show them their hard work paid off."
5. Gregory & Appel Insurance sponsors Securing Tomorrow Award: Gregory & Appel Insurance will again sponsor the Gregory & Appel "Securing Tomorrow" Award for the 2009 Firestone Indy Lights season.
The "Securing Tomorrow" Award is a $5,000 cash prize given to the Firestone Indy Lights driver who wins the most races during the season. Past winners include Wade Cunningham (2006), Alex Lloyd (2007) and Dillon Battistini (2008).
"We are excited to continue our tradition through this award of rewarding the best rising stars within the sport," said Darren Hickey, vice president and head of the motorsports practice at Gregory & Appel. "As we've seen in years past, the 2009 Firestone Indy Lights championship will be another exciting series that often comes down to the final race of the season."
Based in Indianapolis, Gregory & Appel has a nationally-recognized motorsports practice that represents drivers, teams, marketing firms, transportation & logistics companies and other professional racing-related entities.
"The Indianapolis Motor Speedway turns 100 years old this year, and Gregory & Appel Insurance turns 125, so we appreciate the history and importance of the motorsports sector. Darren's thought-leadership in motorsports risk management continues to keep us at the forefront of this unique industry," said Steve Appel, vice president, corporate development for Gregory & Appel.
"We are excited to be partnering with Gregory & Appel Insurance for the 2009 season," said Roger Bailey, executive director of Firestone Indy Lights. "Gregory & Appel has been a consistent partner over the past several years, helping us maintain the high level of competition and excitement that characterizes Firestone Indy Lights racing. We appreciate their continued support and look forward to a great season."
6. Carpenter, Conway keeping tabs on NCAA tourney: After two weeks of tournament play, four teams remain in the battle for the men's college basketball championship. Two IndyCar Series drivers, Ed Carpenter and Mike Conway, remain in contention to win a bracket contest among drivers.
Carpenter, an American and admitted fan of Butler University, leads by two points. He has Connecticut and North Carolina remaining, with a prediction that UConn will win it all. Conway has Michigan State remaining and can win the contest if both Michigan State and Villanova win on Saturday.
"UConn looked really good all year, but coming into the tournament I think they were the lowest-seeded No. 1 seed." Carpenter said. "I don't think you ever want to be the person that everyone's looking at, so they may have been overlooked a little bit. North Carolina is probably the most talented, but I don't know that they've played the best consistently all season long.
"I will be rooting for Michigan State just the fact that they're a Big Ten school, being from Indiana, but hopefully I still win the pool somehow."
Pulling an upset would be ironic to Conway, a native of England who has never followed college basketball.
"I knew nothing at all about it, basically went by the numbers as to who looked best," Conway said. "I saw a couple of the games last weekend. It was pretty interesting. If I win, it would be like going fishing for the first time and catching the biggest fish - rookie's luck."
The 2009 IndyCar Series season opens April 5 with the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on the streets of St. Petersburg, Fla. The race will be telecast live in High Definition at 2 p.m. (EDT) by VERSUS. The race will air live on the IMS Radio Network, XM channel 145 and Sirius channel 126. The radio broadcast also will be carried on www.indycar.com. The 2009 Firestone Indy Lights season begins with a doubleheader race weekend April 4-5 at St. Petersburg. The races will be telecast at 6 p.m. (EDT) on April 6 by VERSUS.

2011-2012 Fortune's Bones
I was obsessed with Fortune's Bones for a good five years. I couldn't believe the story. I wanted to know why it touched me and what I needed to do because I have been touched in this way.
– Dr. Ysaye M. Barnwell
From September 2011 to April 2012, the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center presented a series of events inspired by the compelling story of Fortune.
Who Was Fortune?
Fortune was an enslaved African whose life did not end when he died in 1798.
In life, Fortune served a doctor in post-Colonial Waterbury, Connecticut. After death, he was dissected by the Connecticut physician who owned him. His bones were preserved and studied and, later, displayed as an anatomical specimen at the Mattatuck Museum, a skeleton known only as "Larry."
The questions raised by Fortune's story go beyond a single community or historical era. Who speaks for Fortune? Who has the right to his remains? And what can we learn from his life and its aftermath?
