I am a single mother to a nearly 15-month-old little boy. I was wondering if you might be able to give me with some information on boys playing with dolls. I was hoping you could address the benefits of boys playing with dolls. I have had some disapproving comments and looks from other parents when I try and discuss this with them.
People are concerned that my son has too much of a female influence in his life, as my son has no father and we live with my parents, but my father is a wonderful role model for my son and they have a very close bond.
People are also under the impression that boys play with trucks and girls with dolls. But I think all toys are for everybody. I thought dolls would help teach my son compassion, caring and even the beginnings of responsibility.
Please help me, Sarah. I'm feeling a little confused as to how to incorporate dolls into my son's daily play and also how to respond to the critics. Am I best to purchase a weighted doll as my son's first doll and put his current doll away for later? Or is he not ready yet for dolls?
There is a fear among many men that playing with dolls will make boys less masculine. Sadly, there are some women who also share this belief.
We've been conditioned for so many decades to think that boys play with trucks and cars and girls play with dolls and too many boys have been told that playing with dolls is for "sissies."
This thinking needs to be changed.
Giving a boy a doll gives him the opportunity to explore his nurturing and caring side, and can teach a boy as much about being a father, just as dolls teach girls about motherhood.
Children imitate the adults around them in their play. When mothers and fathers model nurturing, caring behavior, boys and girls will imitate this in their doll play and this is healthy! It teaches children about relationships and empathy.
If a boy spends his days at home with his mother (whether she is a single parent or not) he will want to imitate her activities. This is normal.
This is natural. This is good. He is practicing parenting.
Times have changed. Today's fathers tend to me much more involved in child-rearing than they were decades ago. It is not uncommon anymore to see a dad with a baby in a sling, or pushing a stroller.
Since children are imitative, it is natural for them to want to carry a dolly in a sling or push one in toy carriage.
And it's curious how culturally it seems more acceptable to allow a girl to play with traditional "boy toys." Most people don't think twice watching a girl playing with building sets, Legos, or toy cars. In fact, many parents are now encouraging their daughters to play with these so called "STEM toys" and teaching their daughters that they can grow up to be a mother and have a career.
So why do so many adults seem alarmed when they see little boys playing with dolls or "playing house" and pretending to cook in a play kitchen? Don't we want our sons to grow up to caring fathers and capable of cooking a meal?
We need to change our way of thinking and educate others that doll play is important if we want boys to grow up to be nurturing, caring fathers. It doesn't make them any less masculine.
I believe that all parents of boys should give their son a doll to love. I recommend giving a boy his first doll between 18-months and three-years-old, before he has gotten the memo that boys don't play with dolls. A one-year-old will probably have little interest in a doll other than to explore it with his senses as he would any other object.
But at 18-24 months he may start snuggling with and be comforted by a favorite soft doll. But it is around age 4-5 when children really begin imitative pretend play with dolls.
It can also be very helpful to give a boy a doll when a new younger sibling is on the way, and can help prepare your child emotionally for the new arrival. Our Heavy Baby Dolls (with their weight that makes them feel like a real baby) are wonderful for this purpose!
What if you give your son a doll and he shows no interest in it? I get this question a lot. I would advise you not to worry. Not all children are going to respond to all toys the same way. If he is too young for it, keep it around and he may show interest in it later.
Some boys become very attached to a special doll, other boys show little interest. Children are unique, just as adults are. There is no one-size-fits-all toy.
The important thing is to give provide your son with a doll and give him the opportunity to develop his nurturing and caring side through play. But remember that there are many ways that children learn to become nurturing and caring adults – the primary way is by being cared for by nurturing parents.
Finally, I'll leave you with one of my favorite memories as an early childhood teacher as I observed the children in my class during free play. I will never forget the day when Wilson, a little boy in my class who was always full energy and joy, was pretending to nurse a dolly that was tucked under his sweater. He held the baby securely with one arm while he brandished a wooden sword in the other, engaged in a lively sword fight with another boy.
Wilson is a wonderful reminder that boys can play with dolls and be no less of a boy!
Are you the mother of a boy? Have you given your son a doll? Does he play with it? Please share your comments!

Can dogs see color?
Poor dog! You will not see the bright red color of your new blanket. Some people say that dogs only see black and white. Others believe that their canine friends are color blind. Actually, both ideas are true. Yes, dogs see in black in white but human's best friend can also see some colors.
- Can dogs see color?
Our furry friends are thought to see only black and white and various shades of gray. This notion was refuted after various studies on canine vision were made. In 1980s, a research conducted in University of California by Jay Neitz...
- Sarah's Dogs
How do dogs see colors? Find out at Sarah's Dogs.
Dogs can see color
Studies conducted on canine vision have proven wrong the notion that dogs can see only in black in white. A dog's world is colorful as well although the colors are less intense and less detailed. Hundreds of years ago studies made on canine vision have proclaimed that the dog's vision is not colored. Later researches have proven otherwise. In 1989, the studies conducted by Neitz, Geist and Jacobs have shown that dogs have the ability to see some colors.
The eyes of a dog
The eyes of a dog similar to the eyes of humans, have color receptors or cones that catch the light and respond to color. The difference though is that while humans have three types of receptors, dogs only have two. Because of fewer cones the combined activities of the cones will result to a vision that is less rich and less detailed. This type of vision that involves two different color receptors is called dichromat. As dogs cannot see the full spectrum of colors they are distinguished as color blind. Additionally, a dog's eye does not have the fovea, the part of the eye responsible for detailed and sharp vision.
A dog's rainbow
As mentioned, dogs see color but the colors our furry friends see are fewer than what we humans can see. Humans would see the colors of the rainbow as red, orange, yellow, green, blue green, blue and violet. In a dog's eye, the arch in the sky will be dark blue, light blue, gray, light yellow, a dark yellow that is nearly brown and very dark gray. Basically, the dog's world is colored in yellow, blue and gray given that green, orange and yellow will be seen by the dog as yellowish; violet and blue will be seen as blue and blue green will be perceived as gray.
Advantages of the dog's vision
A dog's world may not be as colorful as ours. A dog owner may be kind of frustrated if the new red toy was not appreciated by the pet. The dogs may not be able to distinguish some colors but the dog is certainly a pro at distinguishing subtle shades. This is one of the advantages of canine vision over human vision. Dogs can see the smallest difference in hues because the lens of their eyes does not have the yellow pigment that blocks blue and violet wavelengths. This yellow pigment that is present in human eyes reduces the sensitivity to blue and violet lights making humans unable to see the slightest difference in shades in the violet and blue colors. The larger pupils of dogs enable them to have a wider field of vision. A dog can see flickering light much better than humans can. Dogs have Tapetum Lucidum, the reflective surface in the dog's eyes that reflects back the light allowing the dog to have better vision in the dark.

eBay Inc. Honored for Sustainability Work
By: eBay Inc. Staff
From eBay Giving Works to MicroPlace, the company's sustainability initiatives continue to make a difference.
On June 16, Public Counsel, a Los Angeles-based organization dedicated to providing pro bono legal services, honored eBay Inc. with the 2010 Corporate Achievement Award. First presented in 1992, the Award recognizes outstanding corporate citizenship based on demonstrated accomplishments in the areas of human rights, environmental stewardship, employee and supplier diversity, ethical business conduct, volunteerism and philanthropy. Prior honorees include DIRECTV, Intel, Best Buy, Microsoft and Kaiser Permanente.
In accepting the award on behalf of the company, SVP and General Counsel Mike Jacobson remarked that eBay's founding philosophy is at the core of its success. "We believe people are basically good," he said. "Our businesses – and the millions of people who depend on them – are proof that this is true."
Indeed, eBay Inc. was founded on the premise that individual actions, taken collectively, can have tremendous and lasting impact. After nearly 15 years of harnessing technology in the service of people, the company has helped millions to transform their lives for the better – building businesses, taking care of their families and becoming global entrepreneurs at the same time. In doing so, they've transformed the communities and economies around them.
Created in 2007, the company's global citizenship efforts also build on this idea, focusing on three specific areas: Creating economic opportunity, driving sustainability and enabling philanthropy. The following is a summary of the initiatives that fuel each area.
Fueling economic development worldwide: Through launching new marketplaces like World of Good, eBay is providing new access points to global markets for entrepreneurs at the village level—and, with PayPal, is enabling secure cross-border transactions that fuel global trade. By enabling PayPal users to invest in microfinance through MicroPlace, eBay is providing a pathway to a better life for the world's extreme poor. And eBay Foundation, by investing in microenterprises, is supporting efforts to alleviate poverty and support economic development around the globe.
Accelerating the shift toward sustainable commerce: PayPal is a global paperless payments system – the world's largest. And eBay is the world's largest engine for the re-use of goods: The sales of pre-owned products on eBay.com has given new life to more than $100 billion worth of goods, avoiding the drain on natural resources of producing new products, and helping to keep used items out of landfills. These ideas are at the heart of the eBay Green Team, a global movement to help consumers become smarter, greener shoppers. The Green Team recently launched green.ebay.com, a new sustainable shopping experience on eBay, providing Earth-conscious buyers with sustainable options in home, fashion and gadgets. Through the eBay Green Team, sellers are also encouraged to not only cut costs, but lower their impact on the environment through smarter energy, packaging and shipping solutions.
eBay inc. has also made a considerable investment in greening its own operations and adopting clean energy technology. For example, the company's newest headquarters building in San Jose, California, is the state's first LEED Gold certified building, and has the city's largest solar installation on its roof. Together with recently installed 500 kW of Bloom Energy fuel cells, the company is taking the energy use of one in three employees at that campus off the grid. These and other similar efforts were initiated by eBay's employee Green Team, a group of 2,400 employee volunteers focused on making eBay a greener place to work.
Scaling individual philanthropy: In response to the eBay community's desire to contribute to the victims of 9/11, the company created eBay Giving Works, its platform for supporting online fundraising for nonprofits. When disaster strikes, eBay Giving Works is able to quickly mobilize nonprofit partners so that buyers and sellers can contribute to relief efforts. Over the years, eBay Giving Works and its U.K. counterpart, eBay for Charity, have enabled the eBay community to raise more than $190 million worldwide for charities – much of this one dollar or pound at a time, given at checkout.
PayPal for Nonprofits, PayPal's discounted nonprofit transaction infrastructure, has enabled nonprofits of all sizes to accept donations efficiently, cost-effectively and on a global scale. In 2009, nonprofits raised over $1 billion in funds via PayPal.
Through eBay Foundation GIVE Teams, employees are directly involved in recommending grants to deserving causes in their communities around the world. Recently, eBay China's GIVE Team helped provide computers to a local elementary school, and the San Jose GIVE Team sponsored a "Share Your Lunch" campaign to benefit the local food bank.

Actually, this cat may never have been a mouser. Just look at those eyes - they are not facing out in front, as are the eyes of any predatory animal (including humans, and, until now, all cats). So this is some new species of cat with eyes on the side of its head. Quite possible it ate corn.
That's one for all those cryptozoology buffs out there.

Just in case anyone was the least bit confused... a mouser is not a mouse. A mouser is a cat.
And by the way... Hi Minister Wilmey! In fact... could it be true?... Do we really have Ministers Jones, Wilmey, and Murdoch all gathered together here, on one post? (I'm getting shivers... I really am!)

"A cat is otherwise known as a mouser, or one who habitually hunts and feasts on mice. (yum)"
I do agree it is a cat, but - if you look at the positioning of the eyes - this is not a hunting cat, but a Corn Cat. Mouser no more, but Corner yes.

Choosing the right bouquets and centrepieces
Cathy Risden, Lifestyle Writer
Gorgeous flowers are a must at a wedding. Besides the couple, flowers will be one of the most photographed details at the wedding, so it's important to choose centrepieces and bouquets that truly fit your style.
After you have established your wedding setting - formal, casual, classic or modern - and your venue - indoors or out - allow these factors to inspire your floral arrangements. It is advised that couples make their decisions based on what they love and not what's trending.
Types of Bouquets
The bouquet should complement, not compete with, the bride's dress. According to CEO and events planner of Helen G. Event Planning and Design, Helen Hutchinson Graham, size does matter with bouquets. "If you are a voluptuous or tall bride, you should select a bigger style of bouquet, because a small nosegay might seem out of proportion. Petite brides should pass on the grandiose bouquets and opt for something smaller so they are not lost behind a sea of flowers. And the average-size bride should select a medium-sized bouquet that presents a nice proportion when held in front of her body. And no matter your fashion choice, be sure your bouquet isn't too heavy or too fragrant - you don't want to sneeze your way up the aisle." Here are a few options for the perfect bloom on your special day.
Nosegay - for a petite bride
This is a small tightly packed mound of flowers, greenery and herbs, about 16-18 inches in diameter.
Posy - for a more petite bride or mini bride
This is a much smaller bouquet to the nosegay bouquet.
This is a combination of petal and buds - thick, waxy petals - that are wired together on a single stem to create a big flower. However, these bouquets take a lot more time and are usually more expensive.
Cascade - for a voluptuous bride
This is a larger bridal bouquet that allows a full-figured bride to project grace.
Choosing the right centrepiece:
Make sure the flowers in your centrepiece complement the other flowers in the reception space.
Make sure it is low enough so guests can easily converse with each other. If you want drama, a tall centrepiece, or a raised floral arrangement that begins above eye level is a better option. If budget is a factor, alternating high and low centrepieces is a cost-efficient way to add impact to your event.
For outdoor weddings, try to stay away from blooms like hydrangeas that are used to cool climates unless you have somewhere to keep it very cool until you are ready to use them.
Caring for the Flowers
Graham suggests the type flower or blooms used determines how long the flowers can survive. "All floral pieces need to be stored in a cool room - preferably below 60 degrees. Also, if the bouquet or centrepiece is going to be prepared a day or two before the wedding it's best to use blooms that are not fully opened so that by the time it's wedding day, they will just be opening and will be fresh and not withering or dying," she concluded.
Inside versus Outdoors
If you are having your wedding reception in a large, elaborate space, a small bouquet might seem too insignificant. Avoid bitsy bunches of flowers and try an elegant round bouquet. Orp if you really have a flair for the dramatic, go all out with a grand cascading bouquet.
Competing with Mother Nature is a definite no-no. Big or small, you will want something that works with your surroundings. An intimate backyard gathering calls for a hand-tied bouquet for that just-picked natural look, while a reception near the beach - with the ocean as your backdrop - justifies something grander.

Children with ACL Injuries Require Special Treatment, Care to Avoid Future Knee Injuries and Complications
Feb 06, 2013, 03:00 ET
ACL injuries on the rise in younger patients
ROSEMONT, Ill., Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Until a child's bones have fully matured (in girls, typically by age 14; in boys, age 16), an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)—the primary, stabilizing ligament of the knee joint—requires special consideration, treatment and care to ensure appropriate healing and to prevent long-term complications.
According to a review article in the February 2013 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (JAAOS), ACL injuries once were considered rare in children and adolescents. However, the number of ACL injuries in young athletes is on the rise, "whether they result from year-round training, less free play or increased single sport concentration," said lead study author and pediatric orthopaedic surgeon Jeremy Frank, MD, with Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital's Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics and [U18] Sports Medicine in Hollywood, Fla.
To avoid potential future complications, such as early onset osteoarthritis, the literature review outlines the optimal strategies for treating pediatric ACL injuries based on the specifics of the injury and the child's skeletal (bone), age and developmental maturity.
Among the recommendations:
- Children should be treated by an orthopaedic surgeon who has expertise in the operative treatment of pediatric ACL injuries.
- For pediatric and adolescent patients with partial ACL tears compromising less than 50 percent of the diameter of the ligament, non-surgical management, including activity modification, bracing and/or physical therapy, can be considered.
- Treatment for complete ACL ruptures typically involves transphyseal ACL reconstruction surgery that partially or completely spares the femoral physis (the growth plate, contributing to 70 percent of thigh-bone growth), and adult-type surgical or arthroscopic reconstruction in adolescents at or nearing skeletal maturity.
- Postoperative management may include weight-bearing and activity modifications, bracing, and a progressive physical therapy program emphasizing range of motion (ROM), closed-chain strengthening (exercises on the knee while the foot remains stationary) and a gradual and measured return to sport-specific maneuvers and activities.
"There are currently numerous safe and effective surgical techniques to reconstruct the ACL in the skeletally immature sportsperson to restore stability and forestall the early progression towards meniscal and chondral (cartilage) pathologies (disease)," said Dr. Frank. Complications from ACL surgery are rare in children when the appropriate operation is performed on the right patient.

(AP Photo/Reed Saxon, FILE) (Newser) – Five years ago, fired HarperCollins boss Judith Regan claimed an executive at Harper's parent, News Corp, had pushed her to lie to federal investigators—but until now, that executive's identity remained hidden. Now court affidavits show that it was Roger Ailes, the head of Fox News, the New York Times finds. According to Regan, Ailes wanted her to hush up her affair with Bernard Kerik—former NYPD chief and pal of Rudy Giuliani— because it might hurt Giuliani's presidential aspirations. Affidavits also reveal that Regan taped a phone conversation with Ailes about the matter, which could prove embarrassing for him if it surfaces. While News Corp doesn't deny that Ailes is on the tape, the company says it has a letter, penned by Regan, "stating that Mr. Ailes did not intend to influence her with respect to a government investigation." The documents came to light as part of a separate lawsuit lodged against Regan by her former lawyers. Click for background on Regan's now-settled suit against News Corp.

23:06 IST: WICKET! Harbhajan Singh has removed Jamshed, who was looking dangerous. This breakthrough gives Mumbai a fighting chance against Lahore.
23:03 IST: It could still be anyone's game but Lahore Lions are pretty comfortably placed on 65/1 off 10 overs and they look like they are on course.
22:53 IST: WICKET! What a spectacular catch by Pollard to send back the dangerous Ahmed Shehzad. He was looking brilliant but his knock was cut short for 34. Pragyan Ojha was the bowler and the wicket will go against his name but it was made possible only by Pollard.
22:44 IST: This is a great start; Lahore Lions are 43/0 off 6 overs, chasing 136 against the defending champions.
22:40 IST: Jamshed and Shehzad have taken Lahore Lions off to a good start against Mumbai Indians in pursuit of 136. The two Pakistan batsmen have been middling the ball well and have so far made the Mumbai attack look very ordinary.
22:24 IST: Lahore Lions are 10/0 off 2 overs, chasing 136 against Mumbai Indians. Ahmed Shehzad and Nasir Jamshed will be expected to give the Pakistan side a solid start tonight.
22:05 IST: Excellent bowling performance by Lahore Lions. Cheema and Riaz picked up two wickets apiece as Mumbai Indians were restricted to 135/7. The star-studded batting line-up failed but at least there were some cameos from Harbhajan and Praveen later in the order to give the bowlers something to defend. A couple of early wickets from Malinga and it could well be a tricky chase for Lahore.
21:56 IST: This has been an incredible bowling performance by Lahore Lions. Mumbai Indians are not going to get too many; they are 126/6, with one over to go.
21:42 IST: WICKET! Imran Ali strikes to remove Kieron Pollard. Mumbai Indians are in deep trouble at 94/5 in the 16th over. Their only hope is Aditya Tare, who is batting well.
21:30 IST: SIX! Tare sends it flying over the ropes. Much needed runs for Mumbai Indians
21:21 IST: WICKET! Huge blow for Mumbai Indians; they have lost Hussey (28) to Wahab Riaz. MI are 67/4 in the 12th over as Pollard walks out. They will need their captain to clobber some big shots.
21:14 IST: This has been a good fightback by Mumbai, led courageously by Michael Hussey. They have now reached 62/3 off 10 overs.
21:07 IST: There will be a period of consolidation for the Mumbai Indians now that they have lost three early wickets. They have the perfect man to do that for them - Michael Hussey. And lower down the order, Kieron Pollard can come down and hit a few big ones.
21:00 IST: End of a very unproductive powerplay for Mumbai; 32/3 off 6 overs. Lahore have done a great job so far, bowling a tight line to snare three big wickets. Aditya Tare has come out and looked good in the company of Mike Hussey.
20:54 IST: WICKET! This is disaster for Mumbai Indians; they have lost Ambati Rayudu to Raza. Lahore Lions are breathing fire with the new ball on a helpful Raipur pitch. MI, the defending champs, are 23/3 in 4.3 overs.
20:49 IST: WICKET! Another one goes down; Cheema is on a hat-trick as he strikes again. Jalaj Saxena has been sent back for a first-ball duck and Mumbai Indians are reeling; 20/2 off 3.4 overs.
20:47 IST: WICKET! Cheema has struck for Lahore Lions and Mumbai Indians are 20/1 off 3.3 overs. The defending champs were looking good before losing their West Indian opener.
20:44 IST: This is a solid start for Mumbai Indians, who have reached 20/0 off three overs. Hussey and Simmons are looking positive from the outset.
20:30 IST: Michal Hussey has been included by Mumbai Indians and he is out there to open with Lendl Simmons. This should be an interesting contest. Mumbai's powerful batting vs Lahore's intimidating bowling.
20:12 IST: Lahore Lions are playing four seamers tonight and that could be useful on this Raipur pitch. There has been some rain and a bit of grass on the surface. Meanwhile for Mumbai Indians, there is no word yet on whether Michael Hussey will play.
20:06 IST: Lahore Lions skipper Mohammad Hafeez won the toss and elected to field against defending champions Mumbai Indians in the second qualifier of the Champions League Twenty20 in Raipur.
Mumbai, Lahore Promise Blockbuster Start
After a sumptuous feast of traditional cricket, it's time again to return to the shortest format as leading players, including India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, get ready to represent their respective franchises in the sixth edition of the Champions League T20, with the qualifying rounds starting in Rapur on Saturday.
While the tournament proper starts on September 17 with perennial favourites Chennai Super Kings pitted against reigning IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders, the start of qualifying rounds will feature defending CLT20 champions Mumbai Indians taking on a very talented Lahore Lions team led by former national T20 captain Mohammed Hafeez. (Read more)
Rohit Sharma Out, Pollard Mumbai Skipper
Dashing all-rounder Kieron Pollard has been named captain of the Mumbai Indians after shoulder injury and fractured finger forced regular captain Rohit Sharma to pull-out of the upcoming Champions League Twenty20, starting here from Saturday.
Defending champions Mumbai Indians will play in the qalifiers, starting their campaign against Lahore Lions.
Pollard has been one of the mainstays for Mumbai Indians having joined the franchise in the third season after his brilliant show for Trinidad and Tobago in the inaugural edition of the CLT20 back in 2009. (Read more)
Mohammad Hafeez vows to spread 'love' in India
After a rounds of speculation about Lahore Lions' participation and the eventual sanctioning of their Indian visas, skipper Mohammad Hafeez said, "We are going there with a message of love and I know how much they love Pakistan and the cricketers from our country," Hafeez told reporters,"Our aim is not only play good cricket in the field but also do good acts off the field. Both India and Pakistan love cricket and we are hoping to have a very good time there." (Read more)

Sally's Acting Credits
Sally has been on stage since the age of ten, when she began working with a youth theatre company which toured Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia every school holidays, as well as being part of a memorable tour with the same group to Europe, performing in Amsterdam (Holland), The Engstligenalp (Switzerland) and London (England) when she was just 15.
She began in the Vaudeville tradition, doing stand up comedy at age 13 to 2,000 audience members and the Governor of Victoria at the Melbourne Arts Centre, Hamer Hall, to raise money for the Royal Children's Hospital, moving onto dancing on Channel 7's Good Friday Appeal the year after as a child entertainer, before leading the Moomba Parade as her persona of "Bubbles The Clown" that same year.
Music Hall then beckoned as a young singer and actor before she tackled television sketch comedy, professional musical theatre, then children's television, professional Shakespeare productions, onto dramatic film and now she just goes where the work takes her (although it's leading her more and more back to comedy and Shakespeare, as the fates would have it).
To paraphrase the iconic 1980's film The Blues Brothers: "We have both kinds here – drama and comedy."
Here is the list of what Sally has done in her acting career so far:

Arizona Wildcats basketball coach Sean Miller announced two changes to his support staff Friday, promoting Danny Peters to assistant director of basketball operations and adding JayDee Luster as a graduate manager.
Luster was a three-year starter at point guard for Wyoming, earning honorable mention Mountain West honors last season, when he was chosen the league's Defensive Player of the Year.
He averaged 5.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game in three seasons at Wyoming after playing one season at New Mexico State.
While pursuing a postgraduate degree at Arizona, Luster's duties will include helping the coaches in player and team workouts, as well as assisting in various operational and video responsibilities.
According to the UA press release:
Peters will oversee Arizona's video scouting efforts and is responsible for the organization, breakdown, scouting and presentation of game film. He also will handle player edits for individual player's use and create recruiting videos as well as recruiting game tape for coaches' evaluation.
"I am extremely excited to continue working under Coach Miller and with the Arizona basketball program in this new role," said Peters. "I'm looking forward to our bright future at Arizona and continuing to add to our outstanding tradition."
Administratively, he will supervise the academic progress of each student-athlete within the program, as all 23 players to complete their eligibility under Miller have earned their degrees. Peters is also co-director of the Sean Miller Basketball Camps and will coordinate UA former player outreach.
Peters, 26, originally joined the UA basketball staff in August 2010 as the graduate manager. Peters made 35 appearances in four seasons (2006-10) at Ohio State University. He filled a vacancy left by Jeff Feld, who left to take a front office position with the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers.

Last weekend, Lily, Graeme and I traveled to West Virginia. After an illness, my Aunt Janice had passed away. My mother was flying in from Louisiana and I just needed to be there for her. This was Graeme's first road trip since coming home and his first nights away from Wes. It was also the first time that he stayed with anyone other than Wes or I (while I attended the funeral)....THANKS Summer and Forest!! It is kind of sad when families get so spread out that the only time we really get together are for sad occasions. It was also a blessing. Many of my family members from West Virginia, Florida, New Jersey, Maryland and North Carolina were able to meet Graeme. I really hate the reason we were all together but at the same time, there is just a since of coming home when you are at Aunt Joyce's house with all of the cousins. I have many happy memories of listening to my Mom and her 4 sisters tell stories of their childhood while in that house as a child, teenager, young adult and even more from this weekend. Graeme was his usual charming self and won everyone over rather quickly. Lily enjoyed her time as well and now tries to list everyone we were with when she says her blessings at the end of prayers at night. It is fun listening to all that she remembers. I hope we can all get together soon for a happy occasion and include more of the family that did not get to come.

After being in a solitary confinement for so long (this is how working on a PhD feels) I'm happy to see that what others find useful what I wrote, especially given my fears that for many of my peers the findings would look like yesterday's news. I feel like sharing several other pieces from the final chapter of my dissertation, especially those where I talk about implications for practice, but can't get rid of a nagging feeling that I'm killing publication opportunities with that.
I know that sharing openly brings all kinds of good things back, but next to it there is a feeling that a successful professional career requires more than coming up with good ideas and sharing them. I also believe that performance is counter-productive, that doing things in the way that reflects personal values brings people and projects that reflect those values. So, I will probably end up blogging all those things I'm not sure about, but I would also love to hear what do you think about it.
(Btw, any suggestions of what might be interesting to publish and where are very welcome 🙂

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin shared some intense anti-Clinton sentiments that alluded to the possibility of another Civil War should she be elected president.
The conservative governor spoke to a crowd of fellow conservatives at the Value Voters Conference in Washington D.C. over the weekend. He evoked the spirit of Thomas Jefferson by suggesting that surviving a Clinton presidency would require bloodshed, as if to call for some type of violent uprising.
"I will tell you this: I do think it would be possible, but at what price?" Bevin said, after being asked if he thought America would survive Clinton. "At what price? The roots of the tree of liberty are watered by what? The blood, of who? The tyrants to be sure, but who else? The patriots."
As he continued discussing this metaphorical "blood" that will be shed, he personalized it by mentioning his own lineage.
"It may be that of those in this room. It might be that of our children and grandchildren. I have nine children. It breaks my heart to think that it might be their blood that is needed to redeem something, to reclaim something that we, through our apathy and our indifference, have given away."
To say that Bevin's remarks were extreme would be an understatement. He is essentially saying that it would be up to the patriots (Americans) to fight to the death to win back our liberty from the "tyranny" of Clinton's leadership.
That assessment is just downright absurd, out of touch with reality, and a really poor attempt at fear-mongering.
The notion that physical violence and bloodshed will be the only ways to ensure Americans' freedoms under Clinton only fuels the divisive rhetoric that is already being spewed by the Republicans' presidential nominee, Donald Trump.
According to Vox News, Bevin later tried to clarify his comments by claiming he was referring to military service in the war on terrorism and suggesting Clinton's complacency would only lead to more bloodshed.
"Today we have thousands of men and women in uniform fighting for us overseas and they need our full backing," Bevin said in a statement. "We cannot be complacent about the determination of radical Islamic extremists to destroy our freedoms. Nor can we allow apathy and indifference to allow our culture to crumble from within. We need strong leadership at every level of government to defend our Constitution and our republic. We must fight to preserve the exceptionalism and the promise of America, because America is worth it."
The words that came out of his mouth hardly support his excuse.
He was clearly and explicitly discussing what it would take for Americans to "survive" a Clinton presidency, there was no mention of "radical Islamic extremism" or terrorism.
This was just another right-winger who went way off the deep-end and was forced to retract.
This is reminiscent of a situation last week when Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) had the audacity to say that Clinton is "mentally impaired" and then had to clean it all up with a half-hearted apology.
