text: Meets 1st 8 weeks only This is a class about the role of women in ancient civilizations, as it can be understood from archaeological data. In order to begin to understand the lives of ancient women, it will first be necessary to evaluate what we know about gender in the present day and see how this knowledge applies or does not apply to the past. We will begin with some general readings on how archaeologists approach gender and what kinds of data are available for reconstructing ancient lives. Then we will consider how the history of interaction between different cultures has impacted the role of women in the modern world as well as what we believe about the past. Then we will use this perspective to investigate the literature on women's roles in several early civilizations; first a set of cultures already researched and then a set researched by class members. The goals of this class are a bit complicated, but they make the class fun. The first thing we will do is consider the sources of the ideas you have about gender and then introduce you to some unfamiliar information. I will use lectures and discussions to help you process this information for yourself, so you can decide whether your original perspective needs modification. As we go through the class, you will become more expert at analyzing new information, so that by the end of the class you will be able to construct a sophisticated critique of a current textbook. Required Books: Europe and the People Without History by Eric Wolf Ungendering Civilization There will be other readings available at the Geography Library. Grading: Group Assignments (mostly in-class presentations, but including one written essay) 50% (80% of this will come from my grades of your work in class and 20% will come from your evaluations of each other) Final Paper (Also a group effort) 50% (90% will come from my grade of the paper and 10% will come from your evaluations of each other)

I recently was asked to participate in a series of guest posts entitled Summer of Genealogy Wishes over at the Gen Wish List blog. Tina Lyons runs a super site which has lots of useful information for genealogists including ideas about genealogy societies.
Check out my guest post entitled Genealogy Societies: The Transition Balance Beam which discusses various approaches a genealogy society can take to begin using 21st century technology and marketing techniques. These approaches can ensure not only attracting newer and younger members, but also retain older and loyal members as well.

Denton officials send emergency response team to Hood, Johnson counties
Some Denton officials are in Hood and Johnson counties today to help with the emergency response to the tornadoes that killed at least six people and injured dozens more Wednesday night.
At least 10 tornadoes touched down, with the most damaging tornado touching down at approximately 8:10 to 8:15 p.m. in Hood County east of Granbury, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety report released Thursday.
According to the report, about 30 to 45 homes were destroyed in Hood County and damage assessments are ongoing. Ellis County also had significant damage to commercial businesses and homes, according to the report.
More than 15,000 people were without power Thursday morning in Dallas, Ellis, Johnson and Tarrant counties, but officials said they expect to restore all power by today, according to the report.
Officer Ryan Grelle, spokesman for the Denton Police Department, is a member of the North Texas Public Information Officers group. He went to Granbury on Thursday and plans to be there through at least today, he said.
If they need further help, he could be gone for as long as a week, he said.
Jody Gonzalez, Denton County emergency management coordinator, said the county sent a certified emergency response team and a full-time emergency management worker to assist with damage assessment at the request of Johnson County on Thursday morning. By Thursday afternoon, a county logistics vehicle was also sent to aid in the same mission, he said.
In Denton, the National Weather Service reported 1.86 inches of rain at Denton Enterprise Airport between 6 p.m. and 1 a.m.
Denton County sheriff's officials received no reports of storm damage, according to sheriff's spokeswoman Sandi Brackeen.
Grelle said Denton police also received no damage reports.
Several area cities reported high winds and heavy rain but no damage.
Counties to the north and west reported more significant storms.
Ray Fletcher, emergency management coordinator for Cooke County, said the only thing reported there was a few trees down in the Mountain Springs area.
"Good rain, we sure needed it," he said.
Montague County Sheriff Paul Cunningham said his county had two confirmed tornadoes: one on the south end of the county near Amon Carter Lake and the other near Lake Nocona to the north.
No injuries were reported. Cunningham said one home was destroyed, two more had severe damage and several homes' roofs were damaged.
"We had one vehicle that an individual was in that flipped over and scooted down the road with him still in it," Cunningham said.
Several areas were without power for a while.
On Thursday morning, Cunningham said officials were helping people clean up and were checking on the injured.
In Wise County, Sheriff David Walker said residents were "extremely lucky" during the storms. The county reported no injuries or major damage.
"We had one confirmed tornado touch down," he said. "But weather spotters who called in reported multiple touchdowns."
Areas of Wise County received between 1.7 to 4.4 inches of rain and pea- to golf ball-size hail, he said.
Wise County officials also offered to assist Hood and Johnson counties with relief efforts.
"I'm pretty sure they're getting a lot of help," Walker said. "I talked to the sheriffs in each county and told them that if they need any extra dispatchers or deputies, the offer will stay on the table."
Some relief efforts are under way.
Pat Patey, a spokesman with the Salvation Army in Dallas, said teams are on standby to help with relief efforts.
The Salvation Army has a volunteer disaster team in Hood County to help tornado victims, and a mobile kitchen from Fort Worth was stationed near Granbury to offer snacks and water Thursday morning until 3:30 a.m.
Patey said Salvation Army volunteers are talking to the Emergency Management Office to find out what is needed.
He also suggested the community provide monetary donations by going to www.salvationarmydfw.org or calling 1-800 SAL-ARMY.
Tom Newell, chairman of the board of the Denton Community Food Center, said in an e-mail that officials with local food banks have instructed the center to be ready to provide assistance, but not to send supplies without a request from local authorities.
"It actually causes more confusion and problems to send unsolicited food, clothing, etc., as we have seen in West, Texas, most recently," he said.

Monster Cable Monster Central Control AVL300
Now, if you're an electronics manufacturer looking to fill this need by offering a smart remote control, you've got a couple of choices. You can design and build one from scratch, but why reinvent the wheel when Logitech's Harmony brand has already done such a great job? Wouldn't it be easier to just license their interface, not to mention their library of thousands of command codes encompassing nearly every piece of gear on the planet? Exactly. Which is what cable giant Monster Cable has done with its new Monster Central Control AVL300. With one move, Monster has catapulted itself into the remote business. But why buy a Monster?
SETUP Nearly as important as how well a universal remote control works is how easily it programs. Whether you're a user or an installer who works on many remotes each week, programming should be simple and straightforward. The Monster AVL300 uses a modified version of Harmony's well-respected programming software - specifically, the version 6 software used for Harmony 890 remotes - which they have relabeled "Monster Central Control."
The modifications include some key changes that really differentiate the AVL300: the ability to add lighting control, as well as to control multiple systems throughout a home. (The multisystem functionality is limited by the fact that the remote can support no more than 15 devices, so if you have two full-blown theaters, you'll likely be out of luck.)
Harmony's version 6 software is definitely more tedious and time-consuming than version 5, and Monster's modifications make the programming slightly more time-consuming by adding multiple rooms to the equation. You're asked to wade through different screens before you can get to the adjustment you want to make: Select the room, select the activity, select the device. A simple change on my cable box takes ten mouse-clicks and nearly as many screens. And since each page you program is transmitted over the Internet, you are often w-a-i-t-i-n-g for screens to load. This detailed process might be helpful or even necessary for the novice programmer, but professionals like me will find themselves hankering for quicker access to programming changes. (This dig is not aimed specifically at the Monster software, but at the Harmony version 6 software interface in general.)
During programming, you indicate whether you want each device to be controlled by the remote itself (infrared) or through the supplied OmniLink RF (radio frequency) extender. The OmniLink has four IR outputs that are individually assignable, as well as a "blaster" that can flood a cabinet with infrared commands. Individual assignability won't be important for most systems but will be welcome in those with multiple identical components such as CD players, DSS receivers, or XM tuners.

John Lackey, who won Game 7 of the '02 World Series as a rookie, wants to experience that same feeling with the Red Sox.
"Obviously, I've been here for some big games and really competed against these guys quite a bit," Lackey told MLB.com. "I'm here to win. That's the bottom line. I've always had a lot of respect for this organization from the other side. Winning is the biggest thing for me, and I know this organization has a great chance to do that, and hopefully I can help out."
Players Association, MLB hire fitness expert: The Players Association and Major League Baseball have together hired a Joint Strength and Conditioning Coordinator to provide guidance and identify best practices for clubs and players on issues involving conditioning, fitness, nutrition and other related subjects.
Tim Maxey, who completed his seventh season as strength and conditioning coach of the Indians in 2009, will develop educational programs and assist with the establishment of industry-wide initiatives. He will visit each club during Spring Training.
Maxey has previously served MLB and the MLBPA on its Strength and Conditioning Advisory Board and has been an advisor to the Taylor Hooton Foundation. Prior to working for the Indians, Maxey was a part of the Royals organization from 1998-2002, serving as the strength and conditioning coordinator the last four years.
Maxey is a National Strength and Conditioning Association-certified strength and conditioning specialist and a registered strength and conditioning coach. The Ohio native is a graduate of Shawnee State University and holds a Master's Degree in physical education from Ohio State University.
Fulchino finds niche as a reliever: Jeff Fulchino, who came over from the Royals organization and led Astros relievers in wins, innings pitched and strikeouts last season, will be a key fixture in the club's bullpen going into the season.
"I think everybody has a niche," Fulchino told MLB.com. "For whatever reason, you might be better at one thing than you are at another. This was my first full year as a reliever, but I've been more successful. You can't argue with that. For whatever reason, it's worked out that way."
The right-hander, who had just 13 Major League appearances prior to 2009, ended the season 6-4 with a 3.40 ERA in 82 innings and was named the team's Rookie of the Year by the Houston Chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Granderson aiming to help Yankees repeat: Curtis Granderson was introduced by the Yankees on Thursday.
"I'm excited to get a chance to be here with the defending world champions," Granderson told MLB.com. "Hopefully we can look to repeat and add titles throughout the course of my career and be in the great city of New York."
Granderson was an All-Star for the Tigers last season and hit 30 home runs to go along with 20 steals.
Penny finally gets his wish with Cardinals: Brad Penny was a Cardinals fan while growing up in Oklahoma.
"I'm glad that we were actually able to work something out this year," Penny told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I grew up a Cardinals fan. I grew up an Ozzie Smith fan. I've wanted to play for them before, and I thought it was going to work out a few times in the past. I thought maybe last year, but they were set.
"This is exciting, because I've tried before."
Hafner appears to be back on track: A year removed from arthroscopic right shoulder surgery, Travis Hafner should be ready for full action in 2010.
"We're going to get together with our medical staff and the conditioning staff to put a plan in place," manager Manny Acta told MLB.com. "But that being said, our plan is that he's going to get days off here and there, but nothing as he was in the past, where he couldn't play a certain amount of games in a row."
Halladay ready for a new beginning with Phillies: Now that he's with the Phillies, Roy Halladay is ready for a new chapter in his baseball career.
"This is going to give me a chance to go out and achieve the goals I've strived for in this game," Halladay told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "It was an easy decision for me once the opportunity arrived. To be part of this is something I couldn't pass up. There are things in life and in business that are more important, and this is one of them. There are just so many positives for me and my family."
Putz prepared to take on setup role: J. J. Putz doesn't feel like he needs to close games to be effective for the White Sox.
"Obviously, we have a great closer in Bobby Jenks and a great left-handed setup guy in Matt Thornton," Putz told the Chicago Sun-Times. "I'm thinking going into it, I'll be a seventh-, eighth-inning guy with the right-handers and Matt with the left-handers, trying to hand the ball to Bobby as often as we can."
Matsui brings media frenzy to Angels: Hideki Matsui, the 2009 World Series MVP with the Yankees, brought a huge Japanese media contingent with him to Orange County for his introduction as a member of the Angels.
"It's been like this since Day 1 of professional baseball for me, so, from that sense, I'm used to it," Matsui told the Los Angeles Times of the media blitz. "I don't know how my teammates will react to it, but I want to make sure I don't inconvenience them."
Taylor makes shift from Blue Jays to A's: The A's continued to revamp their roster, trading top prospect Brett Wallace, acquired from the Cardinals in the Matt Holliday deal, to the Blue Jays for Michael Taylor. Toronto received Taylor from Philadelphia in the Roy Halladay deal.
"Michael is a stud, for lack of a better word," Triple-A Sacramento infielder Adrian Cardenas, who played in the Philadelphia system with Taylor, told the San Francisco Chronicle. "He's just a great player and very passionate about the game."
"Obviously, this trade gives me the chance to go out there and hopefully show what I can do and earn a spot," Taylor said.
Lee expected to remain with Phillies: Cliff Lee thought he was entering negotiations for a long-term deal before the Phillies abruptly traded him to the Mariners.
"At first, I didn't believe it because I had thought we were working out an extension with the Phillies and I would spend the rest of my career there," Lee told the Seattle Times. "That's what I was thinking. It goes to show that this is a business and you never know what is going to happen until you have a full no-trade clause."
"I'm looking forward to helping the Mariners win and doing my job every time I take the mound," Lee said. "But my initial reaction was disbelief and shock. But after that set in, looking at the Mariners team and what they've got, I like what they've got."
Cameron secures outfield spot in Boston: Mike Cameron, who agreed to a two-year contract with the Red Sox, likes the idea of performing in one of Major League baseball's most passionate places.
"Why did I choose Boston? Because I felt like I played in a large market before, and I understand the values and the hard work you have to put in because you can be very scrutinized at times," Cameron told the MLB.com. "At the same time, the opportunity to really win a championship. I've pretty much gotten to the end of the road so many times and so close, but nothing to show for it. With the addition of Lackey and the guys that are already here being through it a couple of times, I just feel like the opportunity is pretty good for me to come out and compete and try to do some big things."
Hawksworth sees early end to fantasy football season: Blake Hawksworth admits this hasn't been the greatest offseason he's ever had.
"It's been a tough week for me because I have to sadly report that my fantasy football team has been eliminated from the league with all Cardinal players," the St. Louis pitcher wrote in his St. Louis Globe-Democrat blog. "Skip Schumaker and I went in together on a team, and we, by far, had the best team on paper in the league. That's probably why this loss was so hard to take! Phillip Rivers, D'Angelo Williams, St. Louis' own Steven Jackson, Greg Jennings, Jason Witten, and Wes Welker. Yeah, I know ... How could we lose?!"

ESPN Trade Machine Link: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=bg5nc8x
Raptors In: Millsap, Ridnour
Raptors Out: Bargnani, Anderson, 1-3 2nd round picks (as necessary)
Lakers In: Bargnani, Pekovic, Bell, 1st round pick, 2nd round pick (if necessary)
Lakers Out: Gasol
Timberwolves In: Gasol, Anderson
Timberwolves Out: Williams, Pekovic, Ridnour, Cunningham, 1st round pick
Jazz In: Williams, Cunningham, 1/2 2nd round pick(s) (if neccessary)
Jazz Out: Millsap, Bell
- replace Gasol with a stretch-4 (Bargnani) who will make $8.3M less next season
- Pekovic provides insurance for Howard (if injured, or especially if he leaves as free agent), would be a great trade chip in the offseason (as a S&T), or could be let walk to cut $4.8M off payroll
- Bell is an expiring contract that would give them veteran SG depth behind Bryant (or could simply be waived)
- 1st round pick is valuable as pick or trade bait
- possibly add a 2nd round pick from Toronto (if necessary)
- get their guy in Gasol, to create huge frontcourt with Love and chemistry with Rubio
- Anderson gives them added SG depth
- Derek Williams gives them added depth at SF position, could even start ahead of Marvin Williams
- Cunningham provides veteran PF depth behind Favors (Derek Williams could also play PF in small lineups)
- dump Bell's expiring contract without having to take on any bad contract in return
- add 1 or 2 2nd round picks from Toronto
- save a little over $5M off their payroll
- get 2 quality players (1 who has potential to blossom into a star) and 1/2 2nd round picks for Millsap, who they seem destined to lose one way or another
- they could also have Kleiza if they want him, but I assumed they'd prefer the $5M+ cost savings instead
- Millsap becomes starting PF, pushing Johnson into backup PF (and occassionally at C with Millsap) / 3rd big role
- Ridnour is a veteran pass-first backup PG, who could stabalize the team's young 2nd unit
- removing Anderson clears wing logjam (Gay, DeRozan, Fields & Ross)
- added depth makes it easier to waive Haddadi (non-guaranteed contract next season), amnesty Kleiza in the offseason, waive Lucas (team option for next season) and let Pietrus walk as a free agent after the season
- of course the Raptors must entice Millsap to re-sign beyond this season, but I think the combination of money, starting and being part of this young lineup could potentially be sufficient reason for him to stick around!
RAPTORS 2013-2014 LINEUP (current age in brackets)
C: Valanciunas (20), Gray (27)
PF: Millsap (27), Johnson (25), Acy (22)
SF: Gay (26), Fields (24)
SG: DeRozan (23), Ross (21)
PG: Lowry (26), Ridnour (31)
I would hope that the Raptors look to add cheap veteran C & PG in the offseason, to provide depth and leadership. Just the added veteran presence would be critical to this young group of players, even if they barely/don't wind up playing.

Written in 1728, John Gay's satirical drama, The Beggar's Opera was the first known ballad opera, poking fun at the very popular extravagant Italian opera of the time. It is a silly story, but one filled with vivid characters and popular folk tunes. Acclaimed director Lucy Bailey brings this raucous tale to the seasonal Regent's Park Open Air Theatre for a limited run.
To one side of the stage a small band, the City Waites, provide the music using authentic instruments. Led by a lively Roddy Skeaping on violin and bass viol, the band is fantastic – rich in tone and characte,r adding depth to the narrative. The stage is appropriately decorated with beds and wooden carts, a clever and adaptable design from William Dudley.
The large cast are full of oomph, despite the wearying heat, and act and sing with a youthful energy. Jasper Britton is a suitably stern Mr Peachum, and Janet Fullerlove is hilarious as his wife; she seems to revel in Gay's wickedly naughty script.
I loved watching the frantic catfights between Lucy (Beverly Rudd) and Polly (Flora Spencer-Longhurst) who certainly got the most laughs on the night. With a buoyant attitude and a belter of a voice, Rudd conquers the expansive Regent's Park stage. Spencer-Longhurst, bright faced and wide eyed as the innocent but crafty little Polly, acts with great assurance and in addition has a bright soprano voice that soars in this theatre.
This is a charming production, Regent's Park is the loveliest of settings, and The Beggar's Opera is a witty, sometimes neglected work, the perfect summer's evening out.
The Beggar's Opera until 23 July 2011. Book tickets

Which was my original point-Now we're patent attorneys?
Looking at the designs on the Tim's website, it appears the baking chamber is open at the back to allow hot air/flame to come up and over the pizzas. This would make it more like a "gueulard" oven than a "true" white oven that Scott123 describes.
So none of the members here can conjecture over whether or not a new prototype infringes on a patent because we're not patent attorneys?! Are you serious?
....I still strongly believe that a balanced 60 second bake is impossible in this oven with a typical 50,000ish BTU grill.
Scott was tougher on you than me, may be due to your 60 to 90 second claim.
question, when you get it to the 800 degree mark in the config. that you have now, how hot is it getting on the top stone?Any underskirt shots of the pizzas made at these temps?Thanks
what more can I say really
So, when I said that I expected brutal honesty, this is definitely not what I had in mind, and that reaction was by no means the reaction that I anticipated.
Tim, I faced similar thing when I introduced my design at this forum. Scott was tougher on you than me, may be due to your 60 to 90 second claim.If you read Scott posts you can understand his reason of his skepticism (and others too). His extremely knowledgeable in material, heat transfer
.. My case is similar to yours
Before I done anything, I hired a very experienced and reputable patent lawyer. Expect, You beat me to launching on Kickstarter I am still hesitating about launching my oven on Kickstarter.. I am not sure if people are willing to pledge for products that they will not receive till couple of month later.Good luck
Tim, don't feel bad. You came across to me as being sincere, but I was still skeptical. Take it all in stride and learn from this experience. What you learn from this thread could help you to avoid negative reviews at the most critical point in the future when you are marketing your oven. I think the lesson here is about testing your invention on various grills and making it perfectly clear in your marketing & descriptions what results people can expect for their particular grill. Go the extra mile to test & understand that and be very clear in your ads. Honestly, I don't think that Neapolitan Pizza is the goal of most people who might buy your oven. I'm discovering, it's actually a very small percentage of people that have even tasted Neapolitan Pizza. That's why I believe most people would be perfectly happy baking a 6 minute pizza on their average gas grill of less than the BTUs needed to make a true Neapolitan Pizza. I feel like you greatest selling point is the versatility of your gas grill oven. The majority can use it to bake anything from cookies to NY style pizza and as a bonus that smaller group of folks with the large BTU rated grills will be able to do the Neapolitan Pizza. Remember too, when the weather is very hot people would love to do their baking outside on the gas grill rather than heat up their kitchen. Thanks for the detailed response. ---pete---
This.Tim, either1. Remove this claim from your advertising.or 2. Film an unedited, single shot, 90 second bake using a VPN unmalted flour dough, making sure to include a shot of the undercrust.Perform either task and my tone gets monumentally friendlier. Until then, though, I view you and your product with the utmost suspicion.
Honestly, I don't think that Neapolitan Pizza is the goal of most people who might buy your oven.
Bake Neapolitan Style Pizzas in around 90 seconds ** Not all grills will be capable of producing the temperatures required for Neapolitan Style Pizza - Typically requires a grill with xx,xxx BTU's
When I really want to cook Neapolitan style pizza, I can preheat the top stone a bit, and then heat everything together. This allows me to actually attain even temps top and bottom, to hotter top stone vs bottom stone temps.
Sorry about beating you to kickstarter...I know how that feels actually! A few days before I planned to initially launch, this project launched on Kickstarter (second time that my heart literally sank during this project; #1 - 2Stone, #2 - Uuni...):
A $60 fibrament grill stone on a typical gas grill can hit NY bake times.
And your design, without a skirt covering the grill area outside the device, doesn't even focus every precious BTU up and through your baking area.
... This is the fountain of youth, cold fusion, bigfoot and unicorns wrapped up in one...
I wanna be at that party.

CUNA Mutual Marks Lender Development Program Anniversary
A program designed to grow payment protection revenue for credit unions is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, said CUNA Mutual Group, the program's creator.
Launched in 2003, the 61 charter credit unions of the Lender Development Program have experienced an average payment protection participation lift of 20 percentage points, according to CUNA Mutual in Madison, Wis.
In addition, through the charter credit unions, more than $250 million in claims payments have been paid to members and program participants have earned an average of seven times more revenue from CUNA Mutual's payment protection products in 2012 compared with credit unions not on the program, the company said.
Today, more than 900 credit unions use LDP techniques and resources to grow their financial results and enhance their member experience, CUNA Mutual said. As a group, they have earned five and a half times more revenue from the company's payment protection products than credit unions not on the program and experienced a 19.4% increase on their entire credit insurance book of business within the first three years of the program.
Additionally, the credit unions have earned 40 more basis points in fee and other income than credit unions not on the program, according to CUNA Mutual.
The $594 million Potlatch No. 1 Federal Credit Union in Lewiston, Idaho, was the first credit union to serve as a participant in the LDP program in 2003.
"Before LDP, we'd just throw out a payment protection goal and try to figure out how to meet it," recalled Chris Loseth, CEO of Potlatch No. 1 FCU, in a statement. "LDP brought focus to the credit union. It helped us build an understanding of how the protection products benefit our members and why they are good for the credit union."
Over the years, P1FCU has increased its noninterest income for insurance products by 344%, which directly correlates with more members having coverage, Loseth said.
The credit union's level of noninterest income for CUNA Mutual debt protection and other related insurance products, at the 42 to 45 percentage rates, has resulted in an increase from approximately $238,000 to $1,055,000 annually, he added.
"At the end of the day, we're all working together so our credit union members have that good, old peace of mind that everybody talks about," said Loseth.
The LDP was developed on the best practices of high-performing, results-driven credit unions, said Karim Habib, director of lending, CUNA Mutual.
"As changing needs arise, the program's multi-discipline approach continues to evolve to help enhance credit unions' financial results through deeper member relationships that uncover and meet more member needs," Habib said.

Ventura remains patient with Beckham, Morel
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
But as the calendar turns from April to May and with Morel (.182) and Beckham (.190) sitting a few games of consistent hitting below the Mendoza line, even following Beckham's three-hit effort in Tuesday's 7-2 victory over the Indians, that unconditional support from Ventura soon might be slightly altered.
"Eventually you probably have to do something," said Ventura before the series opener with the Indians. "Right now I'm believing what I see and talking to them.
"I want to know what they're thinking, too. I'm still confident they're going to perform. Eventually it gets to the point where you would have to make a move if it would stay like that, but right now I'm not going to do that."
A few factors work in favor of the Beckham/Morel tandem staying put, starting with their stellar defense. There also doesn't appear to be a clear-cut favorite for everyday replacements, although Ventura believes options exist.
"Yeah. I think so," Ventura said. "But I haven't looked that far down the road."
Brent Lillibridge and Eduardo Escobar have the ability to play both second and third, but they make the team stronger in a utility role. Ventura requested an extended Spring Training look at Tyler Saladino, who was then promoted to big league camp and is now hitting .253 as the shortstop for Double-A Birmingham. Drew Garcia, the club's 21st-round selection in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft, is hitting .316 as a middle infielder for the Barons, while Tyler Kuhn could be a candidate at Triple-A Charlotte.
All of these names are pure speculation, with a corresponding roster move needed to add any of them. Ultimately, the best team option is for Beckham and Morel to stop pressing and start hitting, as they showed signs of on Tuesday.
"They do a lot of good things defensively, and for me, that's a plus," said Ventura, who had a much-publicized 0-for-41 stretch in his rookie campaign. "It's not easy to hit, and it's especially not easy to hit when every little thing is scrutinized. They have to get to that point that they don't care about that and it'll turn around for them."
"I want them to do well," said Lillibridge, who simply tries to be ready to play and not analyze where opportunities might occur. "Their confidence has to be there, and hopefully this series, a new month, however you want to break it down, gets them right and they start swinging the bats. We need them at the bottom to get on base for the guys swinging the bats well and carrying this team."
Reed approaching club record for rookie hurler
CHICAGO -- Addison Reed's 10 straight scoreless appearances, covering 8 1/3 innings, ranks as the third-longest run by a White Sox rookie reliever at a campaign's outset since 1921, according to STATS LLC. Sergio Santos holds the mark at 12 in 2010, followed by Matt Karchner with 11 in 1995.
That record hasn't crossed Reed's mind -- literally, not for a second.
"The only time I've ever thought of it is right now," said a smiling Reed.
When asked if he even knew about the record, Reed quickly admitted that he had no idea.
"It's not going to change anything. Every time I go out, I try to not give up any runs," said Reed, who has fanned 11 and walked three. "If it happens to be a record, then it happens to be a record.
"I'm just going out there trying to throw up zeroes and help the team win. So, I'm not thinking anything of it."
Reed has proven to be a late-inning force, while rookie Nate Jones has earned a late-inning look with Jesse Crain on the disabled list because of a strained left oblique. Closer Hector Santiago and middle reliever Zach Stewart complete this young nucleus of White Sox relievers learning on the fly with a 2.93 bullpen ERA.
"We are staying hard on [Jones], Hector, Reed and Stewart," White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper said. "We are making sure that everything they are doing is trying to build a solid foundation we are going to need to help us now as well as in the future."
Lillibridge in elite but odd company
CHICAGO -- Entering Tuesday's series opener with the Indians, Brent Lillibridge was one of two players in Major League Baseball to have more steals than hits. Lillibridge has six stolen bases and four hits, while Baltimore's Nick Johnson was hitless with one stolen base.
The White Sox utility player, who had just 21 at-bats over 17 games played, doesn't believe his team-best 6-of-6 on stolen bases will continue without drawing attention from opposing teams.
"They haven't pitched out at all on me," Lillibridge said. "At one point, it's going to start coming so I just have to be smarter. For the most part, I'm getting good chances to run knowing it's going to be a certain pitch. I just have to keep working on it, help whenever I can and wait for an opportunity to secure a role."
Lillibridge had a breakout year in 2011 as the top White Sox defensive outfielder and with 13 homers and 10 stolen bases. He admitted to feeling a little uncomfortable at the plate over a couple of games but has figured out a little something with his swing to give him a stronger feel.
"I want to be here for a long time," Lillibridge said. "I know I'm worth something, and I feel like I have a great opportunity to help this team one way or another."
Crain plays catch, ready for bullpen session
CHICAGO -- Jesse Crain played catch Tuesday for the first time since being put on the disabled list, retroactive to April 21, with a strained left oblique. The next step for the right-handed reliever is to throw a side session Thursday.
"He still feels some stuff," said White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper. "He feels it a little bit, but it was nothing. I don't think we've lost any time."
Crain is eligible to come off the disabled list Sunday in Detroit. But there could be an injury rehab appearance before Crain's return.
"We haven't discussed it much further than that as to do we do it that day, do we send him out?" Cooper said. "Is he going to be OK after these two sidelines to go back into a Major League game or does [White Sox general manager] Kenny [Williams], [assistant general manager] Rick [Hahn] combined with [head athletic trainer] Herm [Schneider] think it's better off for him to have an outing somewhere else? We haven't gotten there yet."
Third to first
Robin Ventura reiterated Tuesday that Hector Santiago remains his closer, despite Matt Thornton closing out Sunday's victory over the Red Sox. Santiago pitched a scoreless ninth in Tuesday's 7-2 victory over the Indians, marking his first appearance since last Wednesday.
The White Sox 11-11 April finish raised their opening-month record to 41-53 since 2009, still the third-worst winning percentage in the Majors behind Baltimore and Houston. Tuesday's win gave the White Sox a 5-1 record vs. the AL Central.

SNOW HILL — A local elementary school was stunned this week when it learned it would be one of only 50 schools in the country to receive an unrestricted $100,000 grant offered by Target.
"It's kind of an exciting place to be," said Snow Hill Elementary School (SHES) Principal Denise Shorts.
The funding for SHES comes as part of a larger $5 million grant Target will be distributing to 48 schools and two school districts in 31 states nationwide. The grants were first announced on the Ellen DeGeneres' show in November. The contest caught the eye of Worcester County Technology Education Director Judy Mills, who forwarded the application to every school in the county.
Because of the scope of the contest and the number of schools competing, Mills admitted that it was a long shot. So when Shorts got the call from a Target representative telling her SHES was one of 50 winners in a field of roughly 10,000 applications, it was hard to believe, but certainly appreciated.
"Our school is so ready for this," said Shorts.
Because the funding is unrestricted, SHES faculty can use it towards anything. Though options are still being weighed, Shorts expects the majority of the money to go toward upgrading and replacing technology.
Technology Coach Maryellen Nugent, who wrote and submitted the application, stressed that technology is more important now than ever.
According to Nugent, many students aren't exposed to much technology at home, leaving it up to the schools to prepare them for an increasingly digital future.
"They're just going to need such different skills as they go on," said Nugent.
Technology skills begin early at SHES, with even pre-kindergarten students getting an introduction to computers. However, Nugent explained that the school is taxed to meet the needs of all students with their current equipment. Many computers are beginning to age and while dutifully maintained, are slowly succumbing to wear and tear.
With the boost from the $100,000 grant, SHES should be able to replace or refit most if not all of its technology.
Additionally, SHES is hoping to explore new equipment not yet available at the school. They began this week a trial with a new "smart table," which Shorts described as a highly interactive learning tool. The trial will last 30 days and Shorts hinted that it may be one of the upgrades the school would like to make permanently.
When asked why she thought SHES was chosen from such a populated field, Shorts admitted that it was hard to be sure. The application process was simple and brief, she said, requiring only basic information about SHES and a short essay. Shorts guessed that the uncommon situation the school was in gave it a leg up on the crowd.
"We're very rural," she said. "We're high poverty but we're also high performance."
SHES is both a Maryland and National Blue Ribbon School, as well as being classified as a Title 1 school, which means at least 40 percent of students come from a household of poverty, as measured by the occurrence of Free and Reduced Meal Plans.
Shorts added that a sincere if concise essay by Nugent also probably played a part in Target's decision.
School officials will be discussing how to apply the unexpected funding next month and will put an emphasis on making purchases that will benefit SHES in the long run. There is also a chance that SHES may be one of two schools selected from the list of 50 winners to appear on the Ellen DeGeneres show.
While Shorts isn't buying any plane tickets yet, she admitted that a 1:25 chance was better odds than the 1:10,000 SHES already beat.
