Name: Juan (NPR is not revealing his full name, because he is living in the country illegally.)
Hometown: Loreto, Zacatecas, Mexico
Current city: Denver
Occupation: Plumber
His first radio diary:
Juan came to the U.S. with his family, who crossed the Rio Grande illegally in 1992, and he spent his teen years in Texas, a few hundred feet from that same river. The family lived in a trailer. At times, there was no food to eat. When he was 18, Juan recorded a diary about life along the Rio Grande, and his dreams for the future.
His new radio diary:
"If you meet me on the street, it's not even going to cross your mind that I'm an illegal resident. I've been here so long. I'm one of you."
Juan has made a life for himself in Colorado that might seem like the American dream: a house, a job, two cars, three kids, a happy marriage. But he remains undocumented. Juan's radio diary chronicles life under the radar.
Why he recorded a teen audio diary:
"To me it was like I was doing something cool, something important, something that was going to be part of my life, I knew that back then. I was like, maybe 20 years from now I'll be talking about this. I honestly believed that."

From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Audie Cornish.
In the mid-1990s, independent producer Joe Richmond gave a group of teenagers tape recorders to tell their own stories.
AMANDA BRAND: Hello. Nope, wrong button. There. Hello.
JOSH: I'm going to do the introduction now. My name is Josh.
BRAND: My name is Amanda.
MELISSA RODRIGUEZ: My name is Melissa Rodriquez.
FRANKIE: Hi, my name is Frankie and I'm going to give you a little tour from my Cadillac here.
JUAN: Here I am. My name is Juan and I'm here in the U.S.
JOSH: It's my radio show, thank you.
BRAND: The diarists recorded at school, at home, interviewed family and friends, and shared stories about their lives on this program. Today in our series, Teenage Diaries Revisited, we return to Juan. When we first met him as a teenager, he was living in poverty in a trailer in Texas. His family had illegally crossed the border from Mexico.
A lot has changed for Juan. Today, we find him again in Colorado, living what appears to be a typical, American middle-class life, except he's still undocumented. This is Juan's new radio diary.
JUAN: One, one, two, two, testing, testing. It sounds pretty clear. How you doing? My name is Juan and I am recording my diary once more. This is like the follow-up, fast forward. And it's been so long now. It's been 20 years that I've been here in this country illegally.
JUAN: That's got to be a record.
JUAN: You know, I mean I've got to check with Guinness to see if that's a record or not. But look at me, I mean I graduated from high school. I have a job, a nice car, a house. I got married and I have kids. If you meet me on the street, it's not even going to cross your mind that I'm an illegal resident. I've been here for so long, I'm one of you.
JUAN: (Foreign language spoken) Hi, guys.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD #1: Hi, dad.
JUAN: Morning, chita.
It's 6 A.M. I'm here with my wife, Millie.
MILLIE: (Foreign language spoken)
JUAN: Millie, she's from El Salvador. She's a big fan of coffee.
JUAN: Right now, I live in Colorado. I rent a three-bedroom home.
ALAN: What.
JUAN: Alan, you've got to be quiet for a minute, OK, 'cause I'm recording. By the way, what is your name?
ALAN: Alan.
JUAN: I have three beautiful kids: Natalia, Tasha and Alan. I'm the head of his family and I provide for them pretty well. I mean, we're not rich but we're doing good.
OK, so 6:27 and we're off to work. I'll talk to you guys later.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD #2: You miss me? Bye.
JUAN: Bye.
JUAN: I'm out.
JUAN: Good morning, everybody. I'm here at the house I'm working on, underneath the floor. I'm a plumber. That's what I do for a living.
JUAN: I'm sticking this black pipe of gas through a wall and I'm making holes for that. I do residential plumbing in new houses. I mean, I cannot say too much information about this company that I work for because they don't know I'm undocumented. But I'm always on time. I always take care of my job. And I haven't missed any single day.
JUAN: I always wanted to be an architect and I feel like this is the closest to being an architect right now.
JUAN: And that's that.
JUAN: When I was a little kid, long, long, long, long time ago, I kind of like talked to myself and I said, OK, self, at 35, I want to be in a half a million dollar home and have a Mercedes. And if I have all this, my life is going to be all right. I was just a kid with a lot of dreams. Some of them worked, some of them didn't.
MILLIE: One-oh-seven point one, this is Katy Perry. She's cool.
JUAN: We're in my car. My wife, Millie, with my two kids. We're on our way to a house where we used to live, my dream house.
JUAN: Well, not mine anymore. There it is. All right, guys, let's take a look at your old house.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD #3: Hey, Mommy.
JUAN: Go ahead, mijo, fly.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD #3: Weee.
JUAN: Now, about four years ago, me and Millie found this beautiful three-story home with five bedroom, five bathrooms. Millie fall in love with the high ceilings, the nice kitchen, the fireplace. It's a huge house.
MILLIE: It looks the same.
JUAN: That tree still has the roses that I planted, see. I always thought it was going to be mine forever. But it was a really short American dream. We just couldn't afford it anymore. The loan that we got for the house, it wasn't exactly a good one.
You know, it got really bad in real estate. A lot of people lost their houses and I'm sad to say that I was one of them.
MILLIE: Oh, my God. They're going to call the cops.
JUAN: Yeah, we better go. 'Cause then this neighbor here...
MILLIE: They'll think that we're trying to rob someone.
JUAN: Especially being Mexicans.
MILLIE: Drive. Drive. Drive.
JUAN: All right, guys, let's eat something.
MILLIE: We'll try again with something smaller.
JUAN: Something not as big.
JUAN: When I was growing up back in Texas, living in a trailer home, we were poor - really, really poor. And I had a lot of dreams but my dad would always tell me: No, 'cause you're illegal. Or you cannot do that 'cause you're illegal, don't risk it.
I don't know if he was afraid for me or what. He put negativity on my mind. That's exactly what he did 'cause the way he felt about life. And that's something I carry around with me. It pushes me. You know, when I first started high school, nobody thought I was going to graduate and I did. I'm like the guy that says, oh, I want to jump higher, and just practices and practices just to jump higher; just for self-satisfaction. That's me.
JUAN: Ready to play, tashita?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD #1: Yeah.
JUAN: Good. Good. Good.
I tried to be a better dad than my dad was with me.
NATALIA: Testing, testing, testing.
JUAN: Hey, Natalia.
NATALIA: Hey.
Hi, this is Natalia. We're at the soccer part right now. We're the purple team and we're playing against the green team right now. Sports runs in our blood.
JUAN: My daughter, Natalia, she turned 13 and now she's a teenager. She wears skinny jeans, Converse, just like a regular American would.
Natalia, twist it. Twist it. Almost. (Foreign language spoken)
It's natural, you know, you always want to give your kids what you didn't have. I want my kids to go to college. And my six-year-old wants piano lessons. So whatever crazy idea they get, I always say yes, do it.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: Michael, kick that ball, son.
JUAN: At the same time, I want my kids to know what it feels to accomplish something on your own. Like, my son, he's four years old and he's always running around, always running around. He's always in a hurry. I don't know where he is going.
JUAN: And every time he falls down, I don't pick him up. Millie is like, why don't you pick up the kid, you know, pick him up. And she's like, what are you doing - don't you care for him? Well, I do care for him that's why I'm not going to pick them up. What if one day I'm not there? He needs to learn to get up by himself.
JUAN: Yay. Good job, guys. Good job. Good job. Good job.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #3: Six o'clock tomorrow in that field over there.
JUAN: All right, it's nighttime. It's around 8:30 P.M. This is Natalia.
NATALIA: Hello, again.
JUAN: Well, I was just looking at my old tape recorder. This tape recorder has been with me for 17 years. I'm pretty sure it still works. OK, baby, I want you to hear something. I want to play you something. Back when I was in high school, I made this story about me being a teenage Mexican coming into the United States. This is me 16 years ago.
JUAN: OK. Here I am. My name is Juan. How are you all doing?
NATALIA: Wow, dad. You sounded so young.
JUAN: This is a small, little town. About half a block down is the Rio Grande River and sometimes it's funny. You see, we came all the way from (unintelligible) about 18 hours, just to camp 300 feet into the United States.
NATALIA: Daddy, what if you never left Mexico? Were you ever, like, worried at a point that it might not even happen?
JUAN: I don't believe in the what-ifs. I was going to come no matter what. So, what do you think about me being illegal? How do you feel about it?
NATALIA: Sometimes I feel weird because you're not really American so we can't travel together.
JUAN: But you can travel.
NATALIA: Yeah, but not with you. Like, sometimes I feel scared, like they might send you back because, like, I see on the news that little kids they have to stay here with someone else or go into foster because their parents got sent back.
JUAN: I got to tell you, baby, after 20 years, I don't lose my sleep over, you know, thinking if I'm going to get deported or not. I work. I take care of my taxes. I feel like I'm part of society. So you have nothing to worry about, baby, 'cause I'll be around on that end.
NATALIA: Yeah.
JUAN: Okay. Go to bed 'cause you're waking up early.
NATALIA: Goodnight.
JUAN: Goodnight. Coming across the living room to the hallway. That was a fan. Couldn't see where I was going. Have to be quiet not to wake up my kids. As I'm getting older, I understand that, you know, circumstances of life made us who we are and that's just the way it is. I spent most of my life here in the United States and, yet, I'm an illegal immigrant. I wish I could take that away. I wish I could just take my label off.
Like, when you buy a new pair of jeans, just rip it off. But it hasn't happened. The batteries are running down. I just want to wrap this one up. I'll just leave it at that. This is Juan signing off. I'm not going to say bye, but until later. Adios.
CORNISH: Juan's story was produced by Joe Richmond and Sarah Kay Kramer of Radio Diaries. In the months since Juan recorded this diary, he and his wife have purchased a new home. We're not identifying Juan by his last name because of his undocumented status. Tomorrow, our series Teenage Diaries Revisited continues with Frankie's story.

Here's what Seth Davis of SI.com had to say about three Big 12 teams' openers.
Baylor 99, Lehigh 77. Though this was the first game of the weekend (and thus the season), when it ended I sensed that I might not see a better team performance. Yes, Baylor was at home, but Lehigh is a very good team with a potential lottery pick in C.J. McCollum. Yet, it was never a game. That led me to conclude that this could very well be the best team Scott Drew has coached in Waco.
The main reason I say this is because of 7-foot freshman forward Isaiah Austin, who needed just 17 minutes to score 22 points. Read that sentence again. Austin converted 10 of his 12 shots, including 2-for-4 from three-point range, before leaving the game in the first half with a twisted ankle. (Austin did not play Sunday against Jackson State, but Drew told me he expects him to be back for the Charleston Classic next weekend.) Austin was scoring with such ease, he could have gone for 40 without breaking a sweat.
And what happened after Austin went out? Cory Jefferson, a 6-9 junior forward, took over the post and went for 26 points and 13 rebounds, both career highs. When you consider that the Bears scored 99 points despite shooting 6-for-20 from three-point range, you get a sense of their offensive potential.
Oklahoma State 73, UC Davis 65. There is no more appropriately named player in all of college basketball than Cowboys point guard Marcus Smart. The 6-4, 225-pound freshman lived up to the hype, not just because of his imposing physique and explosiveness, but also (and especially) his vision and court savvy. Smart only shot 1-of-6 from the field, but he was 6-for-7 from the foul line, and he had seven assists to just one turnover. On one exchange, Smart jumped up to catch a long offensive rebound with one hand, and before he hit the ground he fired a dart to Kamari Murphy for a layup. It was the best pass I saw all weekend.
Oklahoma State is not a particularly big team, but it is very athletic and fun to watch. Junior guard Markel Brown is an exciting finisher around the rim, and 6-7 sophomore forward Le'Bryan Nash looks like he's settling in for a nice season. UC Davis hung around for most of the game and Travis Ford only played seven guys, so the Cowboys are not operating on much margin for error. Still, I have to say this was a promising beginning.
Kansas 74, Southeast Missouri State 55. This game was much closer than the final score indicated. The Redhawks stayed close until midway through the second half, largely because Kansas was atrocious from three-point range (2-for-21). Perhaps that's to be expected in the season's first game, but it's of particular concern that Jayhawks guard Travis Releford was 0-for-5 from behind the arc and 3-for-11 overall. Many of those long-range misses were way, way off. Releford is a senior now. If he wants to graduate from Glue Guy school, he's gonna have to develop his J.
Elsewhere, senior center Jeff Withey scored a game-high 17 points, but he still looks awkward trying to make moves in the post. If he's in position and catches the ball in close, he will finish, but he's not going to create a lot of buckets by his onesies.
That's why 6-8 freshman forward Perry Ellis will be such a key for this team. He is a far more natural interior scorer than Withey. And while jumping jack freshman guard Ben McLemore had a few highlight-reel offensive rebound slams, it's safe to say the teams in the Big 12 will do a better job blocking out the defensive boards than Southeast Missouri did.

In my mid-twenties I was in a terrific production of George Bernard Shaw's comic play Misalliance. We played to large, enthusiastic crowds in a nice but not huge theatre (700 seats).
It's set around 1918 and I played "Joey" a British aviator. It was a great, funny part – I got the girl in the end and got to deploy my British accent. Other than the accent it required no further alterations – I wore basic make-up – just enough so I didn't wash out under the lights. No fake mustaches, no wigs, nothing special.
One day after the show I, along with several other members of the cast, now in street clothes, were outside chatting when an audience member came up gushing about how much she loved the show. She turned to each actor and complimented them specifically (even the guy who wore old-man make-up, a wig and fake beard but was now in jeans).
At last she turned to me and I prepared myself for the wave of praise that was coming my way.
She looked at me and said –
"Were you in the play?"
Um, yes, I played Joey, the aviator.
"Oh?" …she looked at me closely and I saw it all connect in her eyes and I again, prepped myself for praise.
"Oh! You're much better looking from far away."
In the ensuing years I've come up with several responses to that statement but in that moment I had none.
So when my agent recently requested new photos I thought "I wonder how far away from the camera I could get?"
OK, actually I wondered if I could get a two-fer. Some shots for acting and one to use here that would make my blog feel more personal and welcoming.
Now, actor headshots are supposed to make you look like potential characters (lawyer, doctor, guy next door) without locking you into anything too specific. So they aren't totally ideal for this dual purpose but I'm wondering if you folks think one of these could serve here too.
We have Option A which I call "Trust me, I'm a lawyer"Option B which I call "Trust me I'm a lawyer heading to my yacht"or Option C which I call "I just rolled out of bed and why are you looking at me like that?"What do you think? Do any of these also say "listen to me! I know about Mod Podge!"

When the Boonville Pirates baseball team takes the field for the first time Monday in the season opener against the Hallsville Indians, the 2012 season will be a thing of the past.
And for good reason. Although the conference season was slightly better than the team record, as the Pirates slipped to 11-16 overall and 4-8 in the NCMC, they both were the first losing seasons in the history of the program.
But that's all gone. This season with 28 players suited out for the 2013 campaign, the Pirates will have no excuses with eight returning starters and nine returning letterwinners under sixth-year head coach Tim Edwards.
Beginning his 21st season overall, Edwards said there are a lot of young guys on the team who have put in a lot of work since last year.
"Obviously last year was a disappointment," stated Edwards. "We had some injuries coming into the year that forced a lot of young guys into the lineup that probably were in a little bit over their head last year but I think that's really going to help us this year because we have good experience with some guys even some freshmen and now they are sophomores back as varsity players."
Edwards should know after coaching in over 400 games in 21 years. With a overall record of 298-11, Edwards has proven that he also knows what it takes to win at Boonville while sporting a record of 92-35 in five years.
He said Wednesday that hopefully the 2012 season was just an aberration.
"I felt going into the season that if we would had had all of our guys, we would have been right in the mix where we typically are in the conference race," Edwards said. "We still finished runner-ups in the district and had a good chance to win that game against Marshall, but overall last year the season was disappointing. We lost some close ballgames, made some young mistakes as the season went on but I think we learned from those things, and we hope this year, I feel pretty confident that coming into this year, that we have some young guys who have put in the work and that's going to get us right back to where we have been in the past."
But even then it won't be easy, especially in the NCMC against the likes of Kirksville, Fulton, Mexico and Moberly, who Edwards considers tough teams year in and year out.
He said he sees the conference as being wide open this spring. Edwards also praised Kirksville coach Andy Jackson for the job he does year after year at Kirksville and said Fulton scares him a little bit because they have probably the best player in the conference and some other players to go with him.
"Mexico has an outstanding sophomore class," Edwards said. "The next few years they will be a force to be reckoned with. Marshall just came off a Final Four appearance. They lost most of their pitching but coach Ian Verts does a good job up there. Hannibal has a new coach this year and so does Moberly so both of those programs are going through a change. It's going to be wide-open and very balanced I think."
But even with Kirksville and Fulton possibly at the top, Edwards said he would like to think that Boonville is right in the mix.
"We have not even seen a ball come off our bat and know where it lands yet because we haven't hit at all except in a cage," said Edwards. "We feel like we are swinging the bats very well, we feel like we can pitch and we feel like we can play defense, but for the most part we are clueless just like everybody else. We are clueless at what we have at this point because we haven't been on the field yet."
With so many variables that go into the game of baseball, Edwards said pitching will be the key. He said senior Caleb Hein returns after having a great year last year on the mound and will be the senior leader on the hill. And then if you want to go deep into the lineup, Edwards said the Pirates will also have a couple of young throwers in lefties Chase Snapp and Jordan Copeland, who are both doing a great job.
"We have to keep some guys healthy like Ethan Sander, Dallas Franklin, Keaton Barnes and Alec Viertel," Edwards said. "They have all battled some arm issues in the past but they can be very effective on the mound, too. We just need to keep them healthy."
While hitting .250 as a team last year with 171 hits in 684 at-bats, Edwards said it's too early to tell but the players swinging in the cage look really, really good. He said hitting should be a strength along with the defense, which starts up the middle.
"I think we are pretty much set there with Zach Nixon, a good senior leader who swings it well and plays a good second base, and Austin Hulbert, although he is just a sophomore, returning at shortstop. He nailed down the shortstop position last year as a freshman and is a slick little fielder and has really come along with the bat, too. As far as the outfield, Jacob Francis is returning in center. He may be there again this year. Ethan Sander did a good job as an outfielder as well.
"We also have John Reese, who has come a long, long way, especially in his swing. He looks outstanding in the cage. We also have Keaton Barnes, who is swinging it very well, and Kelsey Callaway. We have 5-6 outfielders there and there are a couple of more that we could consider out there as well. A lot of those bats are going to have to be in the lineup. Some of them may have to work on the infield a little bit. We can also run. We have good team speed overall and that will help us as well."
Of course like any team the Pirates will also have several areas that they may need to work on during the course of the season. Edwards said the one thing that concerns him about this year's team is where they are mentally after coming off a disappointing season last year.
"If we get off to a good start and we gain some confidence early, that is going to be huge," Edwards said. "If we struggle early and guys start to question themselves again like I think we did a little bit last year, we will have to battle through that. That's one of my things just trying to get the kids to believe in themselves again after coming off a losing season and if we can have some faith in ourselves and keep working hard I think we will be fine."
The goals, no matter what the team has coming back year to year, will also remain the same, Edwards said. He said the team wants to compete for a conference and district championship and then progress from there.
For the Pirates to have any kind of success this season, it comes as no secret that the pitching staff will have to improve on it's win-loss record for starters and 3.83 ERA.
Although Hein won't make his first start until Tuesday in the conference opener against Fulton, the senior hurler will be looked upon to improve on last year's record after posting a mark of 4-2 with an ERA of 2.02. In 34 2/3 innings last year, Hein gave up 15 runs, 10 earned, on 19 hits while walking 15 and striking out 25.
"We are looking at Caleb to be our No. 1 starter for the most part," Edwards said. "He is throwing great in the bullpen."
Continued on page 8
Other players that Edwards will look to on the mound this season are Chase Snapp, Dallas Franklin, Jordan Copeland, Ethan Sander, Alec Viertel, Josh Judd, John Reese and Jalen Poindexter. Poindexter, who will be used primarily behind the plate, had the fourth highest number of innings last year with 19 behind Wes Davis (47 1/3), Keith Poindexter (41 2/3) and Hein (34 2/3). Franklin pitched 11 2/3 innings, followed by Barnes with 7 1/3 innings, Snapp at 6 1/3 innings, Viertel at 2 2/3 innings, Sander 1.0 inning and Copeland with 1/3 inning.
Edwards said Snapp has done an outstanding job. "His change-up has really improved," Edwards said. "He keeps the ball down in the zone and his velocity has come up a little bit. We do have some depth at pitching as long as we can keep the guys healthy. I think we can be pretty solid on the mound and that's one thing we will need because there are some weeks we play a lot of ballgames."
Other than Hein as a lock on the mound this season, Edwards seemed to be a little more certain about the status at the catcher position. He said when Hein is on the mound Poindexter will likely do most of the catching this season for Boonville. And why not? After all, Poindexter returns as an all-conference and all-district selection after leading the team in hitting with a .377 clip with 28 hits in 74 at-bats with 15 singles, nine doubles, two triples, two home runs and 22 RBIs.
"Both Jalen and Caleb do a great job catching," Edwards said. "A lot of it boils down to who is going to hit. When Jalen is on the mound Caleb will probably be catching. If Jalen is not pitching he will probably be catching for the most part. We might use him out at the corners at third base possibly on occasion. We feel catcher is his best position and that's what is best for Jalen, too, because he is going to be a college baseball player and I think his best option in college is to be a catcher. We feel confident about our catching. We have some other guys in the mix if those guys can't get it done."
As for the infield, senior Jay Barnhart will return at first base for the Pirates. However, Edwards said other players who could see some playing time at first are Barnes, Viertel, Snapp, Judd, Reese and Copeland.
"Jay worked very, very hard last year during the season and really came out and did a good job," Edwards said. "However, we have a lot of guys that have put in a lot of time since last season that are swinging it very well and they may be the ones that end up at first. It's kind of wide open at this point going in. Again, we have to get the best nine bats in the lineup and if one of those bats has to move to first base than that is what we will do. First base and third base are kind of in the same boat. Barnes and Viertel could be at third base along with Franklin and Poindexter."
As for the middle of the infield, Nixon will return at second base after hitting .273 with 21 hits in 77 at-bats with 15 singles, five doubles, one home run and 13 RBIs. Hulbert, meanwhile, will return at shortstop after hitting .288 with 17 hits in 59 at-bats with 15 singles, two doubles and two RBIs.
Other players who could figure into the mix in the middle of the infield are Franklin, Barnes and Judd at short and Quincy Banuet at second.
Edwards said he feels uncertain about the infield because he doesn't know who is going to end up on the corners.
"I feel certain about the middle but the corners are pretty wide open," Edwards said. "Regardless of who ends up there I am confident that we will be pretty solid defensively. We have to put guys on the corners who can also hit."
As for the outfield, junior Jacob Francis will be back for another year in center after hitting .282 with 22 hits in 78 at-bats with 21 singles, one double and seven RBIs. Senior Kelsey Callaway, meanwhile, will get the starting nod in left after coming out of nowhere last year to hit .308 with 16 hits in 52 at-bats with 11 singles, four doubles, one home run and 10 RBIs. In right, Edwards will look to sophomore Ethan Sander.
Barnes, Reese and Copeland could also see some playing time in the outfield, according to Edwards.
"Out of those six guys we have to find three outfielders and probably a designated hitter, so there is some good competition out there for spots," Edwards said. "I like our depth in the outfield. We have some speed there. We have some guys who can track down a fly ball. Obviously some guys are better offensively and some guys are better defensively, but I like our mix there."
For the first week of the season, Edwards said obviously conference is important and that you want to win all your home games and steal some games on the road.
"The game at Hallsville is good for us to get off to a good start but it's not the most important game of the week," Edwards said. "Every game is important because we want to get that confidence going. Coach Koeneke does an outstanding job at Hallsville and he is going to have his kids ready. It would be good to get a win there but we really want to make sure we get the win against Fulton on Tuesday and then go steal a road win Friday at Hannibal. It would be great to get off to a 2-0 start in conference."
Pirates seek fresh start after disappointing season in 2012
When the Boonville Pirates baseball team takes the field for the first time Monday in the season opener against the Hallsville Indians, the 2012 season will be a thing of the past.

I have a question, not sure if this has been answered before (and I apologize if it has). With new characters that you created (Crita, Drissi, Mara, Master Sebrian, etc), did you get to give input on their design for the show? Or at the very least give descriptions for the team? And if not, were you happy with how they turned out? Did these characters end up looking like you envisioned them in your head when you wrote them?
I know that you mentioned not having much control over how Skeletor looked, so i was curious if that applied to characters that you created.

Good question.
One section in the Series Bible that creates a show is the CHARACTERS Section. In that section there are descriptions that range from a page to three pages on each character in the series. Those descriptions describe the characters' personalities, their motivations, how they interact with other characters and their physical descriptions. I did this for each character in the series.
I felt that the artists and animators were very faithful to my physical descriptions of the characters, especially so in the case of Crita, who I described at length and in 'considerable detail'.
Considerable detail eh? Nice
Thanks for the reply. I always enjoy the insight you provide into the process

It is always my pleasure to provide it. I have often said that writers, directors, actors and producers are nothing without the audience and fans. It is a privilege for me to be here, to give background on NA and other series I have written for and to receive comments, occasional praise and also well thought out and incisive criticism of my work.
My NA DVD set (volume 1) had a defect on disc 5 and freezes about half way through. Has this happened to anybody else? Is it possible to replace just disc 5 or should I just buy the whole set again since the price is minimal? Thanks.
MOTUC Forever!!!
Also Jack, I know you said you wanted He-Man to return to Eternia in S2. When had you decided that? Cause in the episode with Teela she tells He-Man "goodbye forever" at the end, implying that it will never happen.
Interesting question.
From the very beginning it had been my intention to have He-man return to Eternia in Season 2, along with Skeletor, Flogg, Crita, Drissi and Mara. Thankfully, I'd have been able to dump the scientists. That said, I did not pitch the idea to Mattel, but rather was waiting to see if we'd get a pick-up for Season Two., As an aside, it's important to note that seasons for Saturday morning series are traditionally comprised of thirteen episodes. Because NA was a 'strip' series, intended to run five days a week, we produced sixty-five episodes. So that would have been five seasons of a Saturday series.
Regarding Teela's comment, there's a two-part answer. First, that episode was written by the very talented Misty Taggart and was edited by Jack Mendolson and Francis Moss as part of a small block that I didn't have the time to work on. So I had no oversight on Teela's comment. Even if I had, however, I would have let it stand because it would have been interesting to see how she would have dealt with mistakenly having said good-bye forever.
I´ve got a question regarding Drissy, or better her accessory: Is that supposed to be a flute or a simple (yet futuristically designed) shepherds stick?
If that has actually been addressed and shown in the cartoon, I must have overlooked or simply forgotten it. If so, I apologize.
In case it actually is a flute, are there any schematics as to how it would work? How it would be played?
Thank you so much in advance for your answer.
Positivity, folks!
Let´s all agree to love MOTU enough to let others love MOTU, too!
Drissi is a shepherd and what you see is a shepherd's crook, used to herd sheep. That said, I really like your mention of it possibly being a flute -- especially since my own daughter plays flute. It would have been cool for the crook to have been dual-purposed so she could play her flute on lonely nights, the sheep gathering around as she does.
Where were you when I needed you?!
Thank you very much for the answer!
Where I were? Well, propably sitting in my room complaining about the NA actionfigures
Positivity, folks!
Let´s all agree to love MOTU enough to let others love MOTU, too!
Hmm. After reading some of the repetitive criticism for the series, Im even more sure now that I dont agree with the criticism gearing towards it, about it being different and disconnected in many ways etc. Im a firm believer in Jim Cameron's philosophy for a sequel - not to make a remake, or just take a small baby step away from the original, but to completely reinvent it and make it fresh and different, yet retaining the core essence AND explore the characters more or make them evolve. And I dont mean by any means to make it different for the sake of being different, or that anything drastically different would by default be great because of that fact alone. I think the way they sequelized the series was phenomenal, in that it gave us He Man in a completely new, and I mean really new environment, world, style and feel, which still works for the mythology. Instead of sword and sorcery, its full space scifi now, and I tremendously enjoy such contrast and the fact that the series became so multiflavored, like the Batman series. As far as animation, Ive no criticism whatsoever, I really enjoy the TMNT styled, early 90s animation and I like the fact that I can enjoy He Man in both styles, my favorite classic 80s Johnny Quest style and in the TMNT 90s style. I enjoy having the characters redesigned for the new incarnation, they fit this animation and series style better the way they look and act
In short, I wouldnt want just a same old same old copy, we did get two seasons of the great original cartoon, and it was really cool to see a scifi makeover of the mythology and characters. For me remakes just dont fully work. Admittedly, 2002 series was good, really good, but for me it will always be a remake and recycling of the original which just cant be matched imo with its feel and look. For me it will always be a good imitation, but imitation nonetheless
Glad I caught you Mr Jack as I have a question on my own B). It was asked before, but I wanted to dwell a bit more into it. For some time I thought there might have been some licensing issues which forbode to have classic characters appearing in the show (I didnt know about Teela's guest appearance until few years ago). Someone asked about Skeletor's minions in the first episode, asking why wasnt it the BeastMan and Mermaid or TrapJaw who seized Flipshot and Hydron. You explained that Mattel wanted a new set of characters for new toys, however, since those characters had little more than a cameo, I doubt they were any considered being made into toys. One of Skeletor's "goat men" is referred to as Andros. Question is, if you remember, was the decision to introduce unknown characters as Skeletor's old Eternian minions purely based on desire to distance the show from the original and create a clean board, was it because of licensing issues and the older villains werent allowed to be used, or was there simply no special meaning behind it?
Imo, Mattel's primary goal was to separate the series as much from Eternia and the original characters as possible. The feeling likely was -- perhaps supported by data -- that sales of the original character action figures was saturated. After all, how many Man-at-Arms are you going to buy.
What's important to understand is the distinction between being a toy company and a fan. Naturally fans loved the original characters. But Mattel is in business to sell toys. So their thinking was a create a new line with new action figures. Regrettably, Mattel found themselves in a very difficult position because the fan base loved the old figures, but sales of those figures were down.
As many know, and as I stated in the mastercast podcast interview, my intention, in Season 2 of NA was to have Skeletor, He-man and some of the Primus characters and mutants return to Eternia where they would find that Man-at-Arms had pulled off a coup, exiled She-ra, The Sorceress and Teela, establishing himself as a benevolent dictator. It was one possible direction to go.
There's no question but that hindsight is always 20/20, but I do think in retrospect Mattel failed to realize the passion the fan base had for the original characters and that they just felt abandoned. A better marketing route might have been to say this was just a different adventure for He-man and that eventually he would return to Eternia. But again, that's just Monday morning quarterbacking on my part.
I understand the approach. Plus I think the Eternian characters would be a blinding contrast to the new theme and look of the series. It had a then modern animation and scifi look, characters who look like they came from Brother Grimm tales or ancient Greek Myths would be very out of place even if only sporting a cameo. Then again, the series actually took care of that by redesigning the characters (Skeletor no longer looks like a figure of death with Barbarian-medieval clothing, Teela no longer looks like a Roman warrior). I don't know, I just often wondered why Andros instead of BeastMan
As far as the idea of returning to Eternia, an idea widely applauded as I see, I actually would prefer to stay on Primus. The further the series went, the more into the characters and settings we were, and a switch back to a completely new(for the series) environment and discarding the futuristic sleek scifi look wouldn't really work for me as I love the series the way it is. Especially for me, since I wasn't even aware of HeMans original cartoon, so at the time when I was crazy about NA the original character meant absolutely nothing for me, so at the time a switch to Eternia might've even been a bit of a repulsive idea. Perhaps from a diehard fan standpoint the idea would've been interesting to see, but again, I love the series the way it is and applaud the new flavor it given to the mythology instead of just being a remake, it was a "sequel" that actually brought something fresh and could stand on its own
Either way I just want to take time to thank you for helping to create something so memorable that even as an adult Im still entertained and passionate about. Without knowing about the original, NA Skeletor was my favorite cartoon villain and remained one of my favorite villains from the silver screen in all 3 cartoon incarnations
Thank you for that, Brakk. As I've often said, writers, producers, directors and actors are nothing without fans. So I thank you for being one. As most here know, I welcome civil and constructive criticism as much as praise -- perhaps even more than praise as thoughtful criticism affords me an opportunity to learn and even after having written more than 1,200 episodes of television I still have much to learn.
I'm not sure if I posted this for you before, but since you're interested in NA you might enjoy this podcast in which I'm interviewed about the series: http://masterscast.com/?p=46
Have a wonderful holiday season.
How do you feel about NA He-man or elements from it being featured in MOTUC? What about the possibility it being adapted into current/future iterations of MOTU like the DC comics or future cartoons or films and so on?
I think almost anything that creates exposure is good. I get that there have been some changes from my original NA in the current MOTUC -- bios and such. I appreciate that many writers and fans like things to remain exactly as they were. I differ in that regard. I believe there are times that a concept, series or character can grow organically. I do believe that when changes come about that they should not be capricious, but I think if there is strong justification and a logical way of presenting it that revisionism can occasionally have its place.
Your question is quite interesting and topical because for some reason I've had quite a few orgers recently posting and PM-ing me about the possibilities for NA to be rebooted. I have no idea why this is happening lately, but it's certainly something I'd be interested in. Toy Guru and I chatted casually about it a couple of years ago. But I think it's a real long shot. Still, the idea of He-man returning from Primus to find a coup d'etat having taken place in his absence, with Teela, She-ra and The Sorceress exiled Man-at-Arms ensconced as a benevolent, if conflicted, dictator would be something I should be delighted to explore. At present my production company has an extremely full plate, but I can tell you that I'd clear the decks immediately if the opportunity presented itself.
As I said, it's highly unlikely...but one can always hope...and dream.
Thanks for taking the time to write your replies Jack. Definitely food for thought and I'm eagerly awaiting more NA characters being adapted into MOTUC.
I can't help but wonder though if Mattel could be convinced to consider alternative avenues like Netflix or some sort of crowd funding to get even just a one off project off the ground? Well like you say, we can always dream.
Watching some NA again...and I just realized that Slushie does not take off his helmet while on his beloved swamp. Just a matter of easier animation? And how come Felca didn't need a dome with water fron the swamp outside it? Or are these classic 'the wizard did it' -moments?
"She-Ra, Princess of Power was no more. That had been the price of freedom."

Legal updates: UFC expects positive outcome in Boston, but no MMA in NY this year
Because MMA was once outlawed in several states, a patchwork of laws govern the sport across the country. This week has been a big one for the UFC to wade through legal red tape as it works on Boston and New York.
-- In Boston, there is an issue with the documentation foreign-born fighters must have to work in Massachusetts for the first UFC on Fox Sports 1 show. Basically, the law won't necessarily keep fighters off the card, but it will create a whole lot more work for the UFC. The UFC is expecting a "positive outcome" with this issue.
-- MMA won't have such a positive outcome in a state a short drive from Boston. The UFC has been lobbying to legalize MMA in New York for years, and for a while, it seemed like this year could be the year MMA would finally break through. Unfortunately, the New York legislature failed to bring the MMA bill to a vote, meaning the sport has to wait until next year.
Understandably, the UFC is disappointed. Here's what UFC chairman Lorenzo Fertitta had to say about it.
This year's new, absurd, offensive, and completely erroneous charge used to justify the defeat of MMA legislation was that MMA is anti-woman and leads to domestic violence. This is a deception fabricated by a Las Vegas union that is recklessly and callously trying to use an important societal issue to try and punish the UFC. It isn't honest and doesn't work.
Fertitta pointed out that one of the fighters the union in Las Vegas has been most upset about is Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. This union, which has a problem with Fertitta's Station Casinos non-union status, didn't protest when Jackson signed with Bellator. If they truly thought MMA -- and not the Fertitta-owned UFC -- was the problem, wouldn't they send press releases and fill up Twitter decrying Bellator and World Series of Fighting and every other promotion out there?

Conditioner at Walgreens
Make sure to take great care of your hair with Walgreens Conditioner. Whether you wash your locks daily or limit cleansing to maintain your hair's natural hair oils, our conditioner plays a key role in keeping your hair healthy and properly hydrated. By selecting the right conditioner to suit your hair's needs, you can keep your mane looking healthy and vibrant and avoid common problems that can arise from dryness and damage. From hydrating and body enhancing to smoothing and color enhancing, Walgreens offers a wide selection of conditioners to meet your hair care needs.
Why Use Conditioner?
While cleansing is the most basic step of the hair care process, using a conditioner in combination with your favorite shampoo can do a lot to keep your hair healthy. When you are using the right conditioner for your hair, your locks will be easier to tame and manage on a daily basis. Conditioner works to infuse strands of hair with moisture, leaving your hair shiny and vibrant. If your hair is coarse, frizzy, dry, or prone to tangling, adding a conditioner to your routine can drastically improve the texture and manageability of your hair.
Shampoo is important to keep your hair and scalp clean from damaging dirt and environmental free radicals. Unfortunately, many shampoos can strip your hair of its natural oils. These oils serve to protect your hair from damage caused by dirt, weather, styling, and more. By using a conditioner after each wash, you can take steps to restore your hair's natural moisture levels. This is especially the case during situations in which your hair is prone to static. You can use a conditioner to keep your locks in line.
Conditioner for Chemically Treated Hair
Chemical treatments like color and perms can cause damage to the hair by compromising the cuticle. It's especially important to use a shampoo that is made just for processed hair as these formulas tend to be gentle to reduce the risk of further damage. They also help to protect the hair against color fade. Follow up with a specialized conditioner made to restore strength and seal in moisture. The chemicals used to color and perm the hair tend to dry out the shaft, making it extra important to invest in a quality conditioner.
Conditioner for Fine and Thinning Hair
Many people with fine and fragile hair avoid conditioning for fear of weigh-down. Conditioners for fine hair are specially formulated to add volume and bounce without over-softening. Men and women experiencing hair loss may also avoid conditioners because they think that moisturizers will leave their hair looking flat. Conditioners for thinning hair are formulated to make each strand look plumper and fuller. Some specialized products are even formulated to promote healthy growth.
Sun Care Conditioner
If you spend a lot of time outside, the sun can cause damage to your hair and scalp. This damage often leaves hair dry and dull-looking. People who swim for exercise can experience an additional level of damage as salt water or chlorinated pool water can leave hair brittle. Using a conditioner regularly can help to keep hair looking and feeling its best. Some conditioners even contain sun protection so that you can reduce the risk of sun damage when you're outdoors.

Court Costs
Payment Information
About Court Costs
Warren county, district 9, costs
NEW: Online Services
Since the unified court system was established, all operating expenses of the Judicial Department have been borne by the State. These expenses include personnel and operating expenditures for all judicial system offices and programs, as well as expenses for indigents' legal services, jurors and witness fees. Each biennium, the General Assembly appropriates funds for the operation of the court system. Counties and cities; however, continue to be responsible for providing courtrooms and related judicial facilities, including furniture.
The General Assembly has established a uniform schedule of civil and criminal court costs and a variety of fees, and prescribed the distribution of these costs and fees. Except for certain fees that are devoted to specific uses, all superior and district court costs collected by the Judicial Department are paid into the State's General Fund, as are appellate court fees.
Within the court costs assessed, the Judicial Department collects a facilities fee that is returned to the counties and municipalities to help them provide adequate court facilities for the courts. In addition, the State Constitution requires that all fines, penalties, and forfeitures collected by the courts in criminal cases be distributed to the respective counties in which the cases are tried, to be used for the support of the public schools.

Re: ChessCube V6.28 changelog
However. Despite getting to level 100 a day before this change, and being some type of VIP at the moment, I'm absolutely bleeding cubits now. I had a steady amount of about 3,100 for the past year because I don't wager cubits. Heck, I never had an incentive to spend them other than to get in tournaments.
But after 1.5 days of this, I've lost nearly 600 cubits somehow. About 1/3rd of the time I search for a game, they give me the same opponent in two separate games, so I always have to close one. Something makes me think since I'm "aborting" one of them (despite it clearly being a glitch), it's costing me extra cubits. I could be mistaken, so please correct if wrong.
Anyways. Why on Earth would I pay for chess on this website? Chess,com is much quicker at finding a game, and at the end of the day, it's CHESS. Whether it's ICC, Chess,com, or CC, you're playing the same game. I don't even care if it's a couple bucks, I will simply go elsewhere.
My playing range is anyone 10/20 points below me to 500 points above me. I only want to play people better than me, so for people like me, we're getting wiped out on cubits. Once all of the 'standard, non-VIP' members stop coming, who are the remaining VIP supposed to play? This will only drive down traffic.
The solution is simple.
- Get rid of cubits. Besides, this is called ChessCube, not ChessCubits
- Let non-paying users play as many games as they want every day
- Give great incentives for becoming VIP, such as actual, advanced game stats and analysis and/or easier access to tournaments
- Watch as more people join the site when they can play unlimited chess for free
- Watch as an overall increase in site traffic drives up the number of paying, VIP users
- Feel good about enticing people to go VIP on the merits of your content

FORT COLLINS -- Industrial-controls manufacturer Woodward Inc. announced Friday that it would build its new world headquarters in Fort Collins.
Woodward, already based in Fort Collins, has been seeking a site for a new corporate campus. Last summer, the company publicly identified the 101-acre Link-N-Greens golf course site near downtown Fort Collins as its first choice.
"I truly believe, when we get this up and running, it's going to be one of the best examples of an infill project in the country," Woodward CEO Tom Gendron said Friday morning in a conference call announcing the decision.
Woodward, which will close on the $9 million purchase of the property Tuesday, plans to build a $200 million manufacturing and office complex in four phases.
The campus southeast of the intersection of Lemay and Lincoln avenues will be partially bordered on the south and east by the Cache la Poudre River.
The Fort Collins City Council has approved a $23.5 million incentive package for Woodward, and in turn the company will donate about 30 acres of its property to the city for river restoration and use by the city's trail system.
In the first phase of construction, which will begin this summer and take up to two years to complete, Woodward will construct three buildings containing 259,000 square feet for its Industrial Turbomachinery Systems unit.
Phase 2, targeted for completion in the summer of 2015, will consist of a 60,000-square-foot headquarters building.
Phases 3 and 4 have less clear-cut timetables; preliminary plans call for an Engine Systems facility and an Energy Technology testing center.
Loveland's Woodward facility, which opened in January 1993 at 3800 N. Wilson Ave., contains the company's Engine Systems unit and some Industrial Turbomachinery functions, according to Woodward spokesman Don Guzzardo.
Gendron said Woodward officials don't know yet what they will do with the existing facilities in Loveland and Fort Collins once the new campus is built.
"Right now, we're going through our assessment of what's going to go in what facilities and what's the future state of each one," he said.
"What we definitely have today is facilities that are overcrowded," Gendron said. "We don't have adequate offices, we don't have adequate production space. We don't even have adequate testing."
Gendron said a major factor in its selection of Fort Collins was the attractiveness of the site to current and future employees.
"One of the big attributes that led us to look at this is proximity to the thriving Old Town area and proximity to CSU - both the CSU campus and the Engines Lab," he said.
Woodward employs about 1,200 workers in Northern Colorado, and the new campus could have 1,400 to 2,200, according to city of Fort Collins documents.
Construction on the project is expected to employ more than 1,600.
Ghafari Associates of Dearborn, Mich., will provide architectural and engineering services on the project, and M.A. Mortensen Co. of Minneapolis will serve as the construction manager and general contractor.

Over the next couple weeks, the Rotoworld staff will look at some players whose arrows are pointing up for 2013. Fantasy risers, if you will. We'll break them down by division. The American League East and American League Central have been crossed off the list. Now we turn to the American League West.
Jarrod Parker, SP, Athletics
Parker didn't even make the A's Opening Day rotation this season, as the final spot went to the virtually anonymous Graham Godfrey. But, he replaced Godfrey before the end of April and never looked back, going on to tie for the team lead with 13 wins while posting a 3.47 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 140 strikeouts over 181 1/3 innings.
Even more encouraging than Parker's terrific rookie season is the fact that he still has plenty of room to grow. The young right-hander boasts an impressive minor league track record that includes a 3.41 ERA and 345 strikeouts over 366 1/3 innings, and he was ranked as a top 50 prospect every year from 2008-2012 by Baseball America. He'll also turn just 24 this weekend and will continue to benefit from pitching his home games in the spacious O.co Coliseum. Parker should lead a talented A's rotation for years to come.
Jurickson Profar, SS, Rangers
When scouring top prospect lists this offseason, you'll find Profar's name at or near the top of them. The 19-year-old wunderkind has rose quickly through the Rangers' system and in 2012 made the jump from Double-A to the majors for a cup of coffee. He went deep in his first at-bat and also added a couple doubles among his 17 plate appearances.
Profar hasn't put up eye-popping numbers in the minors, as he sports a good-but-not-great .276/.367/.450 batting line over 304 games. But, he's also averaged 13 homers and 20 steals in his two full seasons while boasting an impressive 159/188 BB/K ratio. Keep in mind that he put up those numbers against players much older than him. Make no mistake; this is a superstar in the making.
The only question is whether Profar will have a regular role in 2013. The Rangers have discussed moving Ian Kinsler to the outfield to make room for Profar at second base. They could also wind up trading Elvis Andrus, despite their claims that they're not willing to do so. Either way, the chances are pretty good that he'll find his way into the lineup often in 2013.
Hisashi Iwakuma, SP, Mariners
Iwakuma failed to earn a rotation spot for the M's out of spring training and slid into a long relief role. He wasn't terribly effective out of the bullpen, posting a 4.75 ERA and 23/15 K/BB ratio over 30 1/3 innings. However, Seattle decided to give the Japanese import a shot in the rotation, and the results were awfully impressive.
The 31-year-old wound up making 16 starts for the Mariners and put together a 2.65 ERA and 78/28 K/BB ratio over 95 frames. That work from July on convinced the M's to lock up the free agent with a new two-year, $14 million deal. It must be noted that Iwakuma was much better at home (2.49 ERA) than on the road (4.20 ERA). And while he didn't deal with any apparent shoulder issues in 2012, his right shoulder was often a problem for him in Japan. That said, he certainly showed enough that there's potential late-round value here if he can stay healthy.
Tom Wilhelmsen, RP, Mariners
Just a few years ago, Wilhelmsen had given up on baseball and was bartending to make a living. Now he's one of the more dominant relievers in the American League.
Wilhelmsen began the 2012 campaign as a setup man for the Mariners but wound up taking over the ninth inning role in early June following Brandon League's demotion. The numbers the former bartender put up from June on were pretty remarkable: 1.67 ERA, 57 strikeouts over 54 innings, .172 opponents' batting average. All told, the soon-to-be 29-year-old posted a 2.50 ERA while striking out 87 over 79 1/3 innings, recording 29 saves in the process. He should be drafted as an elite fantasy closer next season.
Jed Lowrie, SS, Astros
In his first season with the Astros, Lowrie showed what he often put on display while with the Red Sox: promise, mixed in with injury susceptibility.
Lowrie belted 16 home runs in 2012, which tied him for fourth among shortstops. He also showed off his plate discipline by walking 43 times in 387 plate appearances. But, therein lies the rub, as Lowrie was able to make just 387 trips to the plate because of knee and ankle injuries. Injuries have been a common theme during the 28-year-old's career, and it's something to keep in mind at the draft table next spring. That said, shortstops capable of homering once every 20 at-bats don't grow on trees.
Josh Reddick, OF, Athletics
Acquired from the Red Sox last offseason, Reddick was quite a find for the A's. The 25-year-old exceeded all expectations in his first season in Oakland, blasting 32 home runs, driving in 85, stealing 11 bases and winning a Gold Glove.
Much of Reddick's production in 2012 came in the first half, when he batted .268/.348/.532 with 20 longballs. He turned into an all-or-nothing player after the break, hitting 12 over the boards but sporting just a .215/.256/.391 batting line. While plate discipline can often be an issue (55/151 BB/K ratio), the good news with Reddick is that he's in no danger of falling into a platoon role. He slugged .473 against southpaws in 2012 and has a higher career OPS against lefties (.757) than righties (.740). The average probably will never be anything special, but Reddick should have no problem slugging 20+ homers with regularity.
Ernesto Frieri, RP, Angels
The Angels acquired Frieri from the Padres in early May in an under-the-radar deal hoping that he would help out their bullpen. Help he did, as Frieri ultimately seized the ninth inning role on his way to a 23-save season.
Remarkably, Frieri didn't give up a hit in his first 13 appearances as an Angel, and he didn't allow a run in his first 26 games. His 98 strikeouts trailed only Aroldis Chapman, Craig Kimbrel and Kenley Jansen among relievers. Frieri can have a problem with walks (career 4.5 BB/9), and he had some struggles after the All-Star break (4.50 ERA), which may be the reason the Angels have been linked to a few relievers this winter. If given the opportunity, Frieri is clearly capable of being a stud fantasy closer for a good Angels club.
Honorable Mention
Yu Darvish, SP, Rangers
Darvish's ERA (3.90) and WHIP (1.28) might have been a tad disappointing, but he piled up 221 strikeouts and could take a step forward in 2013.
A.J. Griffin, SP, Athletics
Griffin faded a bit down the stretch, but he still posted a nifty 3.06 ERA and 64/19 K/BB ratio over 82 1/3 frames. He won't turn 25 until just before spring training.
Dan Straily, SP, Athletics
Yet another impressive young A's arm, Straily dominated in the minors before impressing in a second-half audition, posting a 3.89 ERA while striking out 32 over 39 1/3 innings.
Wilton Lopez, RP, Astros
He might not light up the radar gun or see a ton of save chances in Houston, but Lopez has been terrific each of the last three years for the Astros.
Michael Saunders, OF, Mariners
Saunders somewhat quietly fell just one homer shy of a 20/20 campaign in 2012. He's an underrated power/speed option.
Mike Olt, 3B/1B, Rangers
Olt's power potential is undeniable, but will he have a big role for the Rangers in 2013?

Iron Man 2
Enjoyable but Forgetable - Marty G
I enjoyed it but felt as if it was just filling a gap between IronMan 1 and IronMan 3..bit like the Matrix 2. Amusing in parts and bits of action here and there.Same formula as the first one...with the extra Female Jason Bourne sequence..

Adrian Public Schools Superintendent Chris Timmis is one of five finalists for the superintendent's position in the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools.
Timmis said he was recruited by search consultants in December based on his achievements at APS, where he has been superintendent for five years. He is to be interviewed Feb. 25 by the Plymouth-Canton district's interview team.
Timmis said it is an honor to be sought out by the consultants for the position in the district northeast of Ann Arbor, yet bittersweet because of his love for the school district he currently serves.
"I love Adrian; we've lived here for 11 years," Timmis said. "But it will also be nice, though, to be close to family. My wife and I are both from the Detroit area, 30 minutes from Plymouth. It's a great district."
Timmis said the Plymouth-Canton board "is looking for someone who can articulate a vision and execute that vision, and looking for someone who can close the achievement gap."
"It's an honor to be part of the selection process," Timmis said. "Either way, we will continue to do what we need to do as a district. We've done some great things at Adrian."
Adrian Public Schools Board of Education President Jed Engle said in a statement Thursday it is not a surprise that a district like Plymouth-Canton Community Schools would be interested in Timmis, especially with his dedication to the International Baccalaureate program.
"All one has to do is look at his leadership throughout our improvement in APS test scores and the success in coordinating the implementation of the IB program at all levels at APS to know that other districts would want to see how they could accomplish the same types of success," Engle said.
The other candidates for the Plymouth-Canton superintendency are Rick Mills, CEO of Minneapolis Public Schools in Minnesota; Michael Meissen from Milwaukee Public Schools in Wisconsin; Curtis Cain, associate superintendent for educational services at the Shawnee Mission School District in Overland Park, Kan.; and Brodie Killian, executive director of business services at Plymouth-Canton.
Plymouth-Canton Community Schools has more than 3,000 full-time and part-time employees and operates 15 elementary schools, five middle schools, three high schools and an alternative high school program, according to information provided by Ray and Associates Inc., the firm guiding the school in its search process. K-12 student enrollment is approximately 20,000.
The Plymouth-Canton superintendent's annual salary is expected to be about $205,000.
Timmis a finalist in Plymouth-Canton superintendent search

A Springfield police officer was cited following a two-vehicle accident Saturday night at 11th and Monroe streets.
Michelle Awe, 41, was heading north on 11th Street about 11 p.m. with her squad car�s emergency lights and siren activated. She told investigators she didn�t know if the traffic light was red or green, but she thought the intersection was clear, according to a Springfield police report.
Awe�s squad car struck the side of an eastbound minivan on Monroe driven by James Zientara, 54, of the 3300 block of East Carpenter Street. Zientara said he heard a faint siren but did not see the police car. Both Zientara and a witness said eastbound traffic had a green light.
Awe, who was cited for disobeying a traffic control signal, was treated at St. John�s Hospital for minor head and neck pain. She has been with the police department for more than eight years.
Zientara and the three passengers in the minivan were not injured. The passengers were: Tom Poudzunas, 49, of the 800 block of Daniel Avenue; Michael Lowe, 49, of the 900 block of North 13th Street; and Jessie Lowe, 50, of Spring Valley.

The Lansing Educational Foundation is taking reservations now for its annual Honors Breakfast next month.
The Lansing Educational Foundation is taking reservations now for its annual Honors Breakfast next month.
The ninth Honors Breakfast is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. April 12 in the gymnasium at Lansing Elementary School.
According to LEF Director Nineveh Carvan, the breakfast is a chance for the organization to honor outstanding students and reveal its elementary and secondary Teacher and Support Staff of the Year, along with a lifetime achievement award for those who have made significant contributions to the Lansing School District.
As many as 500 attendees have filled the gym for the breakfast in the past, Carvan said.
Past guest speakers have included Damon Hininger, the current chief executive officer for the Corrections Corporation of America, a Lansing High School graduate, and Wayne Simien, a University of Kansas basketball standout and a member of the 2005 NBA champion Miami Heat team.
Those different speakers have touched on success in achieving personal and business goals. This year, Carvan said the speaker will be Frank Byrne, the executive director of the Kansas City Symphony.
"One reason we were really excited to have him speak is that music is a big part of what we support," she said. "This really is an opportunity to sort of highlight the fine arts in our schools."
Carvan said reservations for the breakfast are being taken until April 8. They cost $20, $10 of which goes to pay admission to the event for the honored students and their families. Any additional proceeds, Carvan said, will be used to support the LEF's Educate the Pride grants, given to teachers and buildings each year for educational initiatives.
Carvan said reservations can be made at www.lansingedfoundation.org.

Dr. Jasmine Gaines is a recent two-time graduate of UAB, earning a Ph.D. concentrating in cellular and molecular biology in December 2006. She initially joined the UAB family as an undergraduate in Fall 1995. She received her B.S. in Biology in June 2000. After working for one year, and with the encouragement and support of Dr. Stephen Watts, Jasmine began graduate studies at UAB in the Department of Biology in Fall 2001. Within the Biology Department, she found ease in working and collaborating with researchers in other departments on campus. Jasmine joined the laboratory of Dr. Theresa Strong in the Department of Medicine. Her dissertation research entailed characterizing sperm protein 17 (Sp17) in somatic cells and cancer.
During her graduate career, Jasmine participated in several educational workshops, scientific seminars, and presented her doctoral research in oral and poster presentations. She was the recipient of two Minority Scholar Awards that allowed her to present her research at the 2003 and 2005 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meetings. In Spring 2006, her graduate research efforts were commended as an honorable mention for the Department of Medicine's Samuel B. Barker Award for Excellence in Research Trainee Symposium. Jasmine also served as a mentor, student leader and participated on many committees. She was the 2004-2005 Vice-President and 2005-2006 President of the UAB Graduate Student Association (GSA). Her leadership skills earned her the 2006 University Leadership and Service Award.
Jasmine is currently a Postdoctoral Scholar participating in the Morehouse School of Medicine/Tuskegee University/UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center Partnership Research Training Program. She has an interest in studying the genetic and environmental factors that underlie racial and ethnic differences in cancer outcomes.
Overall, she states that her experiences at UAB have more than met her expectations. "My basic science training in the field of cancer research as a graduate student was very fulfilling. Being apart of the Comprehensive Cancer Center, I had access to the latest technology, equipment and resources, in addition to many renown researchers from whom I was able to receive advice and direction. In the laboratory, I was able to work independently and encouraged to incorporate my ideas into projects. I also had the opportunity to serve as a TA for several undergraduate courses in the Department of Biology. The undergraduate laboratories that I instructed were very rewarding and allowed me to experience the joys and sorrows of being an instructor. Serving as a member on several committees and as the President of the Graduate Student Association, I became familiar with the administrative aspect of academia. All of the enriching experiences that I gained at UAB as a graduate researcher gave me the opportunity to enhance my networking skills, and will ultimately help me to develop and evolve into an effective Research Professor."

TRAINING: Usually crossfit training /conditioning or power lifting in the AM and MMA sparring, boxing, jits or working technique midday and late afternoon. But I'm always switching stuff up to keep it interesting
When and why did you start training for fighting? Age 13. I was an aggressive kid and had some fights in school and my dad wanted me to have an outlet. My younger brother Joel was playing paintball and I went with him. Every time I got shot I would want to go after the guy and punch him, so after a while I wasn't allowed in the place anymore. I used to have to just sit in the car. South Shore Sportfighting was right next door and my dad said "why don't you go in there". That's when I started training.
What ranks and titles have you held? Several first place trophies in teenage grappling divisions. A couple of them were NAGA tournaments. Currently the Full Force Productions Featherweight champion. Won first 4 MMA fights in under one minute. Was youngest fighter in New Hampshire history at age 17. Was youngest fighter in Massachusetts history on 18th birthday.
Do you have any heroes? Jesus Christ
What is your favorite technique? Flying triangle.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means the world to me. When we all start out locally, we're trying to get to the UFC, and now we're here, so it's time to show the world what we can do. So I'm super excited.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? No
What was your job before you started fighting? Roofing with my dad in Boston.
