2014 Junior College baseball season kicks off for many teams around
the country on Friday, and Perfect Game's Allan Simpson has
detailed coverage of the top teams and prospects this week. Today,
Allan takes a close-up look at the nation's No. 1 team, the State
College of Florida, and unveils his ranking of the nation's Top 50
teams. On Wednesday, he'll break out his list of the Top 200
Prospects in the junior college ranks for the 2014 draft. On
Thursday, he will provide detailed capsules of the Top 50 teams.
in Search of Elusive National Title,
Open 2014 Season at No. 1
a state record 1,193 wins in a junior college coaching career that
spanned 35 years and ended in 2012, Tim Hill Sr. left a daunting
legacy for his son to live up to.
Tim Hill II, who spent 15 years as an assistant to his highly
successful father at the State College of Florida / Manatee-Sarasota
before taking the reins himself a year ago, has ably stepped into his
dad's big shoes.
first Manatees club went 45-13 in 2013 and made a gallant, but
unsuccessful run at representing Florida again at the Junior College
World Series in Grand Junction, Colo., before finishing second in the
state tournament. This year's team is poised to take care of
unfinished business as it begins the 2014 season at No. 1 in Perfect
Game's pre-season ranking of the nation's Top
50 Junior Colleges.
really quite a flattering honor to learn we've been ranked No. 1,"
said an appreciative but somewhat disbelieving Hill. "It's also a
bit of a surprise to us as I'm not sure we saw this coming. I think
we'll be pretty good this year, but I'm not sure we'll be that
the State College of Florida (better known until recently as Manatee
Community College) has an enviable track record of success through
the years at the national and state junior college levels, it has
never won the Junior College World Series. But it has made 10
appearances at the national tournament (most among Florida junior
colleges), finishing second in 1972, 1991 and 2002. The 1999 team,
which set a school record for wins by going 54-10, ended up third.
always, the Manatees biggest challenge may be simply emerging from
their own state tournament as the rugged Florida junior college ranks
are arguably the strongest and most competitive in the country.
the last 16 years, 12 different schools have won the state title and
represented Florida at the Junior College World Series. With three
state titles apiece in that period, the Manatees and Chipola, another
long-time power and the 2007 national champion, are the only schools
to advance more than once.
Hill is well aware that his team's work is cut out for itself this
season, that it will be difficult enough just securing the automatic
bid to the national tournament that goes to the Florida state
champion—never mind thinking about an elusive national
state is so competitive," Hill said. "So many teams play at a
high level, but we've got a lot of tradition here and our kids know
what they're up against when they come here.
like our club. It's definitely comparable to some of the better
teams we've had here, and may actually be one of the more-balanced
clubs that I can remember. Some years our hitting has been a little
stronger, other years our pitching has carried us. This team has no
obvious strengths, though it has no real weaknesses, either."
biggest challenge from the get-go will be to replace shortstop Kevin
Bradley, a Clemson transfer and arguably the team's best player and
prospect. Bradley, the son of ex-major leaguer and current Princeton
coach Scott Bradley, suffered an apparent separated shoulder in the
fall that was not determined to be serious but it was subsequently
determined over the Christmas break when nagging shoulder soreness
persisted that he sustained a torn labrum. He is lost for the season.
was our best player, no doubt," Hill said. "The key to our season
might be how we fill his place, but there's definitely an
opportunity there for someone. We'll have to see who ends up
playing shortstop for us."
second Division I bounce-back player of some note, Frank Grandinette,
who spent the 2013 season at Miami, was also lost for all of 2014
when he finally succumbed to a stress fracture that had been nagging
him for the better part of two years. Grandinette had been expected
to work his way into the Manatees rotation while also seeing
extensive time in a DH role.
is not lost for Hill and the Manatees, though, as the team returns
its ace pitcher, 6-foot-2, 185-pound sophomore righthander Reggie
McClain, who went 9-2, 2.83 as a freshman after transferring to the
State College of Florida from Georgia.
outfielder Sean Trent (.287-4-29) is the top returning position
player, and Hill has beefed up his roster with Division I transfers
like freshman catcher Scott Williams (Virginia), sophomore third
baseman Ryne Rush (High Point), sophomore shortstop/closer Ryan
Valdes (Florida State) and sophomore center fielder Cory Reid
(Florida). Additionally, high-profile freshman righthander Dustin Hagy, an unsigned 31st-round pick of the Boston Red Sox
last June, should bolster the pitching ranks after his fastball was
clocked in the fall up to 93 mph.
Manatees open their 2014 season this weekend with a tournament in
nearby St. Petersburg that should give them an immediate indication
on the viability of this year's team as two long-standing national
powers, No. 3-ranked San Jacinto (Texas) and No. 14 Miami-Dade, are
among the six teams competing.
Hill knows all too well that the real test for his club will come
later in the 2014 season when he'll have to withstand a fierce
challenge from inside his own state just to have any chance of
advancing to national tournament play.
by the State College of Florida at No. 1 and Chipola at No. 5, eight
teams from Florida are ranked in Perfect Game's Top 50. That
doesn't include Palm Beach State, which finished a distant second
to Miami-Dade in conference play a year ago and yet made a spirited
late-season run to win the Florida junior college tournament over the
Manatees and went on to finish second in the World Series.
just beginning his second season as head coach of the Manatees, Hill
has been around the program all his life, played there for his father
in 1989-90 and knows he has plenty to live up to. He is only the
third coach in the rich 56-year history of the Manatee baseball
program, and both coaches who preceded him, Bob Wynn and Hill's
dad, are members of the National Junior College Athletic Association
Baseball Hall of Fame.
whom the Manatees playing field is named after, began the program
from scratch in 1959 and stayed on the job for 23 years, winning 581
games. He, along with long-time Miami-Dade head coach Demie Mainieri
(father of Louisiana State head coach Paul Mainieri), are generally
credited with raising the profile of junior college baseball in
Florida to the current lofty status it now enjoys.
Hill Sr. spent four years at South Florida Community College from
1975-78 before becoming an assistant to Wynn for three years at
Manatee. He took over the program in 1982 and never experienced a
losing season in 31 years, going 1,109-484 overall, before passing
the torch on to his son following the 2012 season.
the elder Hill is now retired, he still lives in the area and
attended all of the Manatees home games a year ago. And his son is
only too eager to have him around, as it enables him to tap into all
his years of wisdom.
would analyze every game last year, and he often came down and sat in
the dugout for games like he was one of the guys. It was like he had
never left."
Top JC Teams
With Its Own Perils
the State College of Florida /Manatee has been installed as the No. 1
team in Perfect Game's pre-season look at the Top 50 junior college
teams, it hardly is a guarantee of impending success on the national
stage. As the 2013 season attests.
Arizona began last year at No. 1 and enjoyed a stellar regular
season, finishing atop the Arizona Community College Athletic
Conference standings with a 29-9 record, along with a 43-13 record
overall. But the Vaqueros never won another game, and never came
close to winning their third Junior College World Series title. A
revamped CAC team begins the current season at No. 7.
the two teams that ended up playing for the National Junior College
Athletic Association Division I title, Central Alabama and Palm Beach
State (Fla.), were unranked nationally to begin the 2013 season.
Moreover, Cochise (Ariz.), which upstaged Central Arizona on its way
to winning the Region 1 (Arizona) tournament and went on to place
third nationally, was also unranked in the pre-season.
was also the case for Cypress College, which won the California
Community College championship a year ago (California schools do not
participate in the Junior College World Series), and Oklahoma's
Murray State, which unexpectedly captured the NJCAA Division II
national title.
none of those five upstarts won even so much as their own conference
championship outright, though obviously got hot at the right time
when they were extended a second chance.
begins the 2014 season at No. 6 in Perfect Game's Top 50, Central
Alabama is at No. 27 and Cochise is at No. 37, though Palm Beach
State and Murray State are again unranked.

The "Museum of Bottle and Glass," named for Giovanni F. Mariani, can be found within the 13th century Castello of Poggio alle Mura, today known as Castello Banfi. This museum illustrates the various eras of glass production through history, from the 5th century BC to our current day. Perhaps the most interesting display within the entire museum focuses on the ancient Roman glassware, which according to some authorities is the world's largest private collection of such pieces.
Within the historic walls, in the old stable and olive pressing room, which still holds equipment dating back to 1857, the display rooms have been attentively assembled to explain the history of glass and the evolution of the wine bottle. In these rooms you will find collections of antique wine bottles, ancient and modern glassware from Venice, including the stupendous "The Water Girl" by Pablo Picasso. The beautiful collection of Roman glass begins with smallobjects in molded glass traced back to the 5th and 4th century BC, and continues with blown vases and balsam bottles from the 1st and 2nd centuries CE, ending with blown bottles and
carafes dating to the 4th and 5th centuries CE. Some pieces recently underwent a conservatory restoration at the glass laboratory of San Giovanni Valdarno, in Arezzo, to restore them to their splendor and luster of thousands of years ago. Among the Venetian pieces which are fascinating for their color and delicate structure are those which were worked with a 16th century 'basket weave' pattern and a large 16th century display chalice with elements in brass, purchased by the Banfi Foundation to enhance the collection and make it even more interesting to visitors of the museum.
Museum Hours:
- 10 am to 7:30 am from March 24th to November 12th
- 10 am to 6:30 pm from November 12th to March 23rd, 2018 (the Museum is closed December 25 and January 1)
Tickets may be purchased at the Enoteca for €4.00 per person (discounted rate €3.50).

|Caroline Nunge and Frank Walleck with their children
This line is a family called Walleck. Growing up I always believed they were Ellis Island immigrants. One of my ancestors who married a Walleck was an Ellis Island immigrant and that was fun to find. No, these Wallecks came from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and they arrived probably in the 1860s. As an adult I traced as much of them online as I could through census records, city directories and what not. Early census records showed them coming from "Bohemia."
My mother always talked about this family speaking German. I grew up believing that they were of German heritage. I heard the word Czech thrown around but I thought that was mostly in reference to my uncle was definitely Czech.
Well, this past weekend I got to spend some time with the Walleck side of my family. My uncle happens to be a family historian and has put much more effort into tracing these Wallecks than I have. In addition, he grew up in Pittsburgh with these family members and was exposed to the family history.
My uncle took out a paper napkin and started drawing the old time neighborhoods of Pittsburgh. He explained all the family groups, which neighborhood they were from and what their ethnic background was. There were three surnames that he discussed - Wallecks, Roemers and Nunges. Surprisingly, my uncle explained to me that the Wallecks were Czech. They lived up on the hill with the other Czechs (don't ask me which neighborhood that was at the moment). The Roemers were German. And the Nunges (my Ellis Island immigrants) came from Alsace-Lorraine.
The ethnic groups and the neighborhoods they lived in were critical for understanding their history and where they came from. Listening to my uncle, I realized, was also pretty critical for me to understand where they came from.
If I hadn't taken the time to listen to my uncle at that moment, I may have been left with erroneous ideas about my Pittsburgh ancestors.
I think the time has come for me to stop ignoring my difficult, ethnic ancestors and start getting some of this down on paper. If I collect as much as possible now from my uncle, perhaps I will slowly be able to work through verifying the information and learning the particular local history behind Pittsburgh and Allegheny City. Maybe I'll even become brave enough to try to track them back across the sea to Europe.
Thank goodness I made this realization before it was too late. While oral history is not the whole story of any family history, the information passed down from your family members can be critical to understanding your ancestry. The stories could mean the difference between having the right information to get started versus no information at all.
If you have any older family members that you can talk to about your family history, get started now. Don't wait for when it's too late.

Kucharczyk: Peak 8's future?
I am very concerned about the proposed Grand Vacation Lodge at Peak 8 which will replace the Bergenhof Restaurant. As most "locals" remember, the height of One Ski Hill Place completely blew us all away. It totally blocks the view of the mountain and is an eye-sore because of its size. Now Grand Vacations wants to build two more buildings where the old "Bergie" stands.
In the master plan for Breckenridge Grand Vacation Lodge at Peak 8 it showed that the two buildings in this area were to be smaller than One Ski Hill Place. The original plan had stated the building would be 66.5 feet (3″ – 4″ stories). In the written document it also stated "…the buildings will be lesser in height and density as compared to the center or core of the Peak 8 Base." Now the plans for Grand Vacations show the proposed building is 7+ stories tall (100+ ft in height). This does not comply with the Breckenridge Land Use Guidelines which state that condo-hotels "…shall not exceed five stories above grade."
Another disconcerting factor is that town Councilman Mike Dudick is a co-owner of Breckenridge Grand Vacations. Has he taken himself out of discussions and decisions concerning approval of this project?
One last note, I'd like to know what percentage of One Ski Hill Place and Grand Lodge at Peak 7 is typically filled? There are so many unfilled rentable units in Breckenridge already and now we will have even more when this new lodge is completed.
If any of these points concern you, please attend the next Planning Commission hearing, share your concerns with town council members, and encourage others to speak up. Once this building is completed, it won't be coming down for a long time.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.


text: Our group studies the mutual interaction of heat, light, and electricity in nano and microscale materials and devices. We use this mutual interaction to improve device performance either in energy conversion or in information processing applications. For example, we have designed micro refrigerators on a chip that could be used to remove hot spots in microprocessor chips. We have also developed novel AC imaging techniques to obtain thermal maps of active devices with submicron spatial resolution and microsecond time resolution. We are applying similar techniques to improve imaging in turbid media using ultrafase lasers. In a major multi-university research initiative, we are working to achieve high efficiency and high power density direct thermal to electric energy conversion. By using embedded metallic nanoparticles and multilayers for hot electron filtering and thermal conductivity reduction, we improve the intrinsic thermoelectric properties of the material.

Anna Langford ('08) Since September 2008, I've been studying for a degree in French and Philosophy at
the University of Stirling, which sits on the edge of a medieval town an hour northwest
of Edinburgh.
I'm one of a scant handful American students in my year, and am constantly amazed at the diversity of culture that the university brings to this isolated little school. In my hallway alone I can expect to hear a mix of English, Scots Gaelic, Finnish, Swedish, Polish, Hungarian, and Danish in the kitchen every morning. In spite of our widely differing tastes in food and films, we all have the same sense of humor needed to handle both university life and the culture shock that comes with either leaving our home countries or living with so many perpetually confused foreigners.
I'll be spending my third year abroad in a French-speaking country - Madagascar would be neat. For now, I spend most of my spare time rambling and photographing sheep.
Hope all is well on your end! Take care, Anna
Erin Maglaque ('08) I'm currently a senior at Bard College, graduating in May 2010. I'm majoring in art history, with a particular focus on art and devotional experience in late medieval Europe. I'm writing my senior thesis on a Pieta from southwestern France, carved around 1500, and the ways in which the patrons of the object conceived of its use in a devotional setting. As part of this project, I've been awarded a research grant to travel to France in March - I can't wait to go! I've also spent this year interning part-time in the Medieval department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which has been a wonderful experience.
Tamika Reynold '07 I am adjusting to the big city, yet I am indeed making my 'mark'! There are just so many things in Boston to be involved with. There are also so many other people/students who are chasing their dreams....and then of course there is the "T" or the subway, which has become my ultimate best friend....there is just so much to do, yet not enough hours in the day!
This semester, I am taking Intro. to Communication Disorders, Phonetics, Language Acquisition, and an Ethics course (16credits). I am enjoying my courses. I am receiving so much information; I am a sponge! I find everything I am learning so interesting. I often try to (mentally) apply a lot of the things I am learning to some of the situations of NNS students, that I worked with in the WC. My Language Acquisition course definitely gives me a different perspective on how hard it really is to understand and deliver a new language system.
Furthermore, I have become an Emerson College chapter and national member of NSSLHA (National Student Speech Language and Hearing Association); it is a section of ASHA (American Speech Language and Hearing Association). . .I have already begun being active in that....Also, I am trying to attend the ASHA Convention which is in Boston this year....I will either volunteer or be sponsored by the NSSLHA committee....the logistics are not yet figured out.
Lastly, I have been accepted as a 2007-2008 core-member of the Jumpstart program. If you are interested in what that is, here is the website: I will be dedicating a lot of my time to this program, thus I will be even more busy than I already am!
Overall, my experience(s) has been good. I am making a lot of friends and definitely shining by brightest in the classroom!
Allison Leed ('05) writes: I graduated from Dutchess in May 2005 with an A.A. in liberal arts and humanities. Currently, I am a junior at the George Washington University pursuing a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in fine arts. I will be applying next semester to get in to the art therapy B.A/M.A. program here (wish me luck).
Working at the Writing Center at DCC was such an enjoyable experience; therefore, I am hoping to get involved with the Writing Center at GWU. However, I've been so busy with all of the things that came with transplanting myself into a completely different city and school, I have not had the chance to do so yet.
Carmen Letusick's ('05) baby, Hunter John Letusick, born July 20, 2005. Congratulations, Carmen! Carmen is living in Virginia and hoping to start an online degree program at Penn State this fall.
UPDATE: 3 1/2 years ago my son was born, and I was pursuing acceptance into the Organizational Leadership program from Penn State University. Despite minor setbacks, I am proud to say I finally finished this past August and made the Dean's list to boot.
I want to thank you and the Writing Center (Edwina and all the other folks) for support and incentive to strive to do my best. The Writing Center has provided me with important lessons and fond memories, which I still use and share with others.
As for the near future, you ask? Well, I plan of taking a few weeks to gather my thoughts (and re-write my resume.. ouch!), then I will be pursuing a career in Human Resource-at first as a generalist while testing for my professional certification and then as an analyst. Warmest wishes to you and the staff.
Hannah Black ('04) graduated in the spring of 2004 with her A.A. in liberal arts and humanities. Now she is a political science major at Binghamton University, graduating with her B.A. this December, 2005. After she graduates from Binghamton, she hopes to begin working for Congressman Hinchey, once she finishes interning for him this fall semester, and start law school in the fall of 2006.
Tanya Lorenzi ('04) Hello all. It is so nice to look back at the alumni page and see all of you geezers doing well. I miss you guys. Life has just not slowed down for me. After leaving Dutchess, I spent a year at Bard college, but the drive was killing me, so I ended up graduating from Marist. I am now pursing my PhD at Fordham (another drive that is killing me) in psychometrics, which is a division of psychology. I am also back at DCC in the EOP office as their tutor. I am also writing a book with another former ENG 218 student, Stephanie Garrison (hopefully we will finish the book before we become senile and forget how to read and write-it is not looking good though). I look forward to seeing you all at the next writer's night.
Henry Ricci ('02) writes: After so many semesters of having my co-tutors graduate from Dutchess to greener pastures, I had to ask myself, "Where am I going?" The word "geezer" took on a new, unpleasant meaning. Eventually, I realized I had to leave the nest, too…
So here I am today: I'm in the middle of getting my Master's Degree in English with a writing concentration at Western Connecticut ("West Conn") State University in Danbury, Connecticut. Equally important, this is the fourth semester I'm teaching as a graduate assistant. This semester it's a freshman English class, English 101-- The Habit of Writing, and everything Mr. Denton taught us to help a student improve his writing reverberates in my ears. In fact, the lead professors I work with at West Conn teach those same Advanced Comp ideas: writing as a "process," the art of rhetoric, and always exhibiting a positive attitude towards the students.
Also, these last two semesters, I've had the good fortune to be a classroom helper in the English 092 classes at DCC South. In those classes, I get to do "over the shoulder tutoring." In other words, I can offer immediate help as they complete the writing assignment for their professor. It's amazing how open the students are to that kind of assistance.
I look forward to hearing from my classmates of Advanced Comp from the spring of 2002. You folks were the best, and I miss you. And thank you Tom Denton-- you've been great.
Lori Tse ('02) Currently, I am teaching 9th grade English at Arlington High School (this is my second year). I graduated from Vassar College in 2004. I was accepted to the Dean's program and stayed on for one more semester to do my student teaching. I did my student teaching at Arlington High School, and after I became certified I was hired as a long term sub for my cooperating teacher when she went on maternity leave. I love it here-the kids are great! And it is a great way to keep an eye on my own daughter, who is also a freshman at the high school this year. Also, I will soon begin taking graduate classes in January. I would love to hear from any former or current tutors from Dutchess!
Laura Goosby ('02) I am a 2002 graduate of DCC. I have an Associate in Business Administration. I am currently working on my second degree in paralegal studies and will be finished in December 2010. I currently work for the New York State Office of the Attorney General. I am the secretary in the Sex Offender Management Bureau, a specialized department that handles court-ordered civil confinement of sex offenders. I also work per diem at St. Francis Hospital as a Certified Nursing Assistant (Patient Care Technician). My education plans are to get a Bachelor's in Business Administration from Empire State College. Also, I will be retiring in 10 years from State service. My plans are to move to Virginia, live with my mom and work for the federal or state government! I'll be 55 years old when I retire. :-)
Kristen Clark ('01) writes: I graduated from Dutchess Community College with an A.A. in Liberal Arts and Humanities in May 2001. I transferred into Cornell University and received my Bachelor of Arts in Human Development (with a minor in English) from Cornell in May of 2003, and I received my Master's of Arts in Teaching (Childhood Education) from New York University in May of 2004. Following that, I got accepted into the JET Programme (www.jetprogramme.org) and moved to rural Japan to teach English in July of 2004. I've been teaching English at two junior high schools and two elementary schools here for a year now, and I'll be here for one more year...after that, I'm not sure yet of what I'll be doing. I'll probably teach, at least for a while (I may eventually go back to school for my doctorate in Child Psychology), but I don't know where yet. I plan to use this next year in Japan as a time of preparation and planning...aside from all of the adventures, learning experiences, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, of course. :)
Tutoring at the DCC Writing Center helped to put me on the fast track to where I am now, and for that I will always be very thankful. Through the tutoring sessions I participated in I came to discover that learning is a two-way process, and that tutoring can be extremely valuable for both the tutee and the tutor if both are open to the teaching/learning process. Ever since I left DCC, I have always been holding down a tutoring job of some form...when I was an undergraduate at Cornell University I was a private in-home ESL tutor for several Korean families in the Ithaca area; when I was a grad student at NYU I was a private tutor for several children in New York City, many of whom had various learning disabilities; and here in Japan, I put many of the processes and concepts that I learned while in the Writing Center and/or while taking the peer tutoring course at DCC into action every day with my students here. The experience of being a tutor at the DCC writing center was invaluable to me because it was empowering, enlightening (both about the learning processes of other students and of my own), and it paved the way for all of the tutoring/teaching experiences that have gotten me to where I am today.
Jason Hsu ('02) writes: Currently I'm in Baltimore working for a public accounting firm. So I'm currently considered an auditor/accountant. I went to the University at Buffalo after my short stint in DCC and majored in accounting, finance, and marketing. It's funny: I was actually sitting around wondering what my fellow tutors are up to. Now I finally get to know!
Kerri Koch ('02) writes: Wow, I can't believe it's been so many years (2002) since I was a tutor at DCC. After DCC, I went to Stony Brook University where I received my BA in English. And well, I loved Long Island so much that I stayed and did my Master's in English education. I loved LI for a while, but in January of this year I moved back Upstate. I just took a position at Roosevelt High School in Hyde Park where I will be teaching 9th grade English. And as you can tell from the photo, Celeste Capaldi ('02) and I are still the best of friends. For anyone who doesn't know us, we met tutoring. She's also doing great. She also went to Stony Brook for her BA in English and is now at New Paltz finishing up her Master's in English. Tutoring really did shape the person I have become. Jason, we all sit around and think about each other every now and again...Don't feel bad!
Mary Tompkins ('00) I graduated from DCC May of 2000 and have been working continually as a teaching assistant in special education at Pawling Middle School (10 years now). I took several more classes here and there, but finally decided to finish what I started, and transferred to Marist's OLC (accelerated bachelor's) program two years ago. Although not technically finished until August 22, I walked through graduation this past May. I also was inducted into Alpha Sigma Lambda, the honor society for adults. I hope to go on for my masters eventually, as I would like to teach (math, English, or social studies).
At the moment I have a daughter entering DCC in the fall. My son is on his 2nd deployment in Iraq, and he and his wife made my husband and me grandparents this past September.
As a word of advice for students who may decide to transfer...familiarize yourself with APA format! This was a confusing, often frustrating transition. There is a great downloadable program that will help immensely...www.perrla.com
Jeremy Eisenberg ('97) - To complete my B.A. at Suny Albany, I attended DCC and worked in the Writing Center in 1997. In my time there, I made wonderful friends, fellow writers (Robert Clouser and Jenn Grillo) and I received the DCC Poetry Prize that spring. Perhaps the most important part of my time at DCC, though, was my training in peer tutoring and writing center pedagogy. At each level after DCC, I have built on my Writing Center experience in community college and university writing centers in Nevada, Alabama, Georgia, and Arizona. I have always had tutoring opportunities come up -- from tutoring student athletes in Tuscaloosa to directing the OMED Writing Center and training tutors during a teaching fellowship at Georgia Tech. I earned an MFA from the U. of Alabama, and I am completing my Ph.D. in Literature on a dissertation fellowship, and I hope to publish more translations of medieval poetry and my own poetry in the near future.
Jennifer Walker and Kevin Markett ('97) write:
Peer tutoring was a great opportunity for the both of us, and the friendship we made there led to a great marriage. While in class, our friendship developed but we were both dating others. We kept in touch while we were away at school (conveniently only an hour apart) and started dating the summer of 1998. Kevin went to Connecticut College and received a Bachelor's Degree in Economics and is an Investment Analyst at Citigroup Private Bank in NYC. I went to Quinnipiac College and received a Bachelor's Degree in Legal Studies. I am a Real Estate Paralegal for Sayegh, Cervone & MacKay in Wappingers. We just celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary last week and recently bought a house after selling our condo that we lived in since we got married. We are in the midst of a major renovation which has proved to be quite a challenge and is keeping us extremely busy. We are not ready for kids just yet, but we are looking forward to getting a puppy in a few months.
We always look back fondly on our days of tutoring and are so glad we were both picked to join the class at the same time - must have been fate!
Gordon Capriol ('96) writes: I graduated from Dutchess in '96 with an A.A. in liberal arts and humanities. I transferred to Cornell University the same year and graduated from Cornell in '99 with a B.S. in applied economics. After earning my undergrad degree, I went to work for Deloitte & Touche in their NYC office, and I spent a little over five years at Deloitte working as a management consultant. I advised over a dozen large corporations and government organizations that were implementing learning technology projects and helped many other clients to roll out global training programs. Along the way, I also managed to complete my master's degree in educational technology and leadership at George Washington University. Last year, I left Deloitte to join one of my clients in a position leading a global training program for their sales organization.
I'm currently working and living in Chicago with my wife, Precious, who was also a Writing Center tutor. We have a two year old son, Zach, and a dog, Scooby.
It was great to hear about the alumni site and to be able to see what other people are doing in their post-Writing Center careers. It's also great to see that the Writing Center is alive and going strong. Working in the Writing Center was one of my most productive college experiences. The skills learned helping my peers at Dutchess to improve their writing ability, as well as the opportunity to improve my own communication skills, prepared me well for my professional career. Reading some of the alumni bios and learning some of the things that everyone else has accomplished make it clear that we've all put those skills to work to do some pretty impressive things!
Paulette Bellow ('95) graduated from DCC with an AA in Liberal Arts and Social Sciences in 1995. While at Dutchess she worked briefly in the Writing Center, and it sparked an interest in her for the teaching profession. Currently, she is the head of the science department at Christ Church Episcopal School in Greenville, SC and teaches AP and IB Biology.
Jeanne Cotroneo Darrow ('91) writes: I graduated from Dutchess in 1991 and have fond memories of my tutoring experience. I went on to Binghamton, studied English and Rhetoric then got a job on Wall Street, editing copy written by financial analysts. I went on to get my MBA in Finance and Communications from Fordham. I did this part time while working at S&P, where I worked my way up from assistant editor to managing editor in five years. Then I left and went to the New York Stock Exchange, where I edited a newsletter and got involved in many of their corporate communications initiatives, such as annual report writing, letter writing, speechwriting, ad copywriting and more. I launched a magazine for them too. I was director of editorial services when I got married and quit (in 2000) to start my own consulting business and move back up to this area. I have kept the Exchange as my major client, and continue to write for, edit and manage nyse magazine and write speeches for their president. I am expecting twin boys in a few weeks, so my career will be slowing down very soon!
Mary Damm ('90) writes: After finishing my core studies at Dutchess, I went on to Empire State College at New Paltz, and in 1991 I got a B.A. in history with a minor in English. I did this primarily because my husband retired from IBM in 1991, and we were involved with competitive swimming, and because of the travel involved Empire gave me more flexibility. In fact, we did go to Massachusetts to work with a team, and I studied and stayed in touch with my mentor by long distance, making periodic trips back to the Hudson Valley. After four years, we came back. We've been the varsity swim coaches at Mount Saint Mary College, beginning our 12th season there. It is a hobby that turned into a second career. We have been involved in the sport for 40 years now.
My husband and I co-authored a book, Guide for Competitive Swimmers, published by Swimming World. Our second book, Mind over Water, deals with the mental aspects of the sport; it should be ready early next year. Both are very basic books meant to be understood by inexperienced swimmers. There are lots of highly technical books out, but not many for the beginner. The illustrations in the book were done by our oldest grandson, Christopher, with his sister and cousins posing for the pictures. So this is what one of your "older" tutors has been up to.
In the off season we travel, but Gene, my husband, also is in charge of managing and setting up lifeguards at Mount Saint Mary. We run two 7-week stroke schools and do a swim camp for swimmers 8-17, so we keep busy.
I never forget my two years at Dutchess. I had some wonderful teachers. So many thanks.
John Fox ('90) writes:
To be honest, it has been quite a while since I have thought about that first year of Advanced Composition/Peer Tutoring. I believe I may have even been one of the first "old-timers" back in the fall of 1989! Reading your letter brought back a lot of memories for me; I recalled the recommendation to take part in this "trial course" by Mrs. Roper, championed by a one Mr. Tom Denton, the subsequent invitation to seize the opportunity, the shock and dismay of how critical I needed to become of my own writing, the challenges of tutoring effectively and learning to read, reread and read again my own work with an objective eye.
You were the first, and maybe the only, professor to sit down with me and ask, "So what grade do you think you earned in this class..?" Now, after many years of annual performance reviews I would answer "an A of course!" but the most unique aspect of your class was the emphasis to look at ourselves honestly and truthfully. I think this extended not only to our writing, but for me, this emphasis has travelled with me through the years. Besides, the "B" did not hurt me too much throughout the rest of my education and career!
Graduate of Mercy College's Edge program in Organizational Management - this program was also in its infancy when I signed up. Do you see a pattern?
I currently work for UBS Investment Bank as a Business Process Analyst for the Global IT Sourcing and Procurement organization. Before taking this role, I led UBS's Americas Region IT Procurement team for four years. After DCC, and the downsizing of IBM in 1992, I found success in the Production Planning and Procurement fields where I have spent the majority of my career with different companies.
I have been happily married for the past eight years, have two wonderful boys - Austin (5) and Dylan (2) - with a third on the way come June. I left Dutchess County for many years before returning in 1999 when we purchased a home in Beekman.
Hobbies and activities have been slightly limited with two small children who I enjoy spending time with, but I am hoping to become more available as they get older.
John Queenan ('90) writes: I graduated summa from SUNY Albany in 1992 and then magna (top 10 percent) from Albany Law School in 1996. I took a job in NYC with the NYC Law Department, (sort of the General Counsel's office for NYC and then the mayor (if you climbed the ladder high enough)). I prosecuted juvenile delinquents in the Bronx and Queens and in the prosecution branch of the Law Department and was ultimately promoted to the Deputy Borough Chief in Queens County (2d in command) before I left to the private world of law in Albany, NY. During my stay ion NYC I also was with the Special Federal Litigation Unit of the Law Dept. in which I defended NYPD and DOC in civil rights lawsuits commenced in federal court from 1998 to about the year 2000.
In November 2002 I got married and we had a son on October 2003. While my wife was pregnant we thought it best to leave NYC (a one BR apartment on the Upper East Side) and pursue other areas for change and to raise our son. I left the Law Dept. and we moved to Albany, NY in March 2004 and recently had a baby girl. My wife and I met in NYC and she agreed (she is a Jersey girl) to move to Albany. I now work at a private law firm doing litigation in the health care, personal injury and commercial law areas. I also do some criminal work. We do have a Poughkeepsie office.

Morningstar Star Ratings: The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Ratings are for the share class shown; other classes may vary.

It's time to start. According to one recent report, Americans get an average of 22 percent of their daily calories from beverages. Sound hard to believe? "Since most beverages don't fill us up the way food does, it's easy to consume a lot of calories in liquid form and not even realize it," explains Molly Morgan, a New York-based dietitian. Unless you pay attention, those extra calories can undermine your best intentions for staying healthy.
In terms of nutrition, drinks are a mixed bag. Many harbor unhealthy ingredients such as sweeteners and artificial colors, while others are veritable health elixirs, rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and compounds that help prevent chronic illness. Most, of course, have both health benefits and drawbacks. By understanding the potential pros and cons of common beverages, you'll know which ones to reach for, which to toss, and which to modify. To that end, our experts helped us put together this cheat sheet.
150 to upward of 500, based on the contents
When they contain healthy ingredients, smoothies can deliver big on vitamins, minerals, antioxidant compounds, and calcium. They're a good way to add a serving or two of fruit to your day. Berries, bananas, mango, and melon all make good options.
Some store-bought smoothies are packed with calories, sugar, and artificial ingredients, says behavioral nutritionist Joy Kettler Gurgevich. Read menus and labels carefully.
Bottom Line
The best smoothie is the one you make yourself. For a basic smoothie, blend 1 to 2 cups of juice and/or milk (or milk alternative) with two cups frozen or fresh fruit (such as bananas, strawberries, and blueberries).
Herbal Tea
With nothing added, about 2 calories
Long used to treat various conditions, certain herbal teas (also known as infusions or tisanes) have medicinal value, says integrative-medicine pioneer Andrew Weil, M.D. Try sipping a cup or two of peppermint tea for indigestion, for example, or chamomile to promote relaxation. Ginger tea may ease nausea, marshmallow root may soothe sore throats and coughs, and nettle blends make for a mineral-rich health tonic.
The same properties that give herbal teas their healing potential may also cause problems for some people. (Peppermint, for instance, may trigger acid reflux in those prone to it.) And since herbal teas lack catechins, don't expect the same disease protection that true tea offers, says Weil.
Bottom Line
Experiment with herbal teas to promote health or ease minor ailments, but consult an herbalist for more extensive advice.
With no added sugar, honey, or milk, 0 calories
All from the Camellia sinensis plant, black, green, and white teas contain antioxidant compounds called catechins. This may explain studies linking tea consumption to a host of benefits, including stronger immunity and a lower risk of diabetes, cognitive impairment, heart attacks, and some cancers. The less tea is processed, the more catechins it retains. White tea has the most; black tea has the least.
All true tea still contains caffeine, which makes some people jittery. Although evidence is mixed, adding milk to tea may block the healthful effects of catechins. Pass up bottled iced teas that contain high-fructose corn syrup, artificial colors and flavorings, and other unhealthy ingredients.
Bottom Line
Tea is truly a health beverage; keep drinking it -- or start.
Cow's Milk
A cup of whole milk, 146 calories; low-fat, 102; and nonfat, 86
A nutrient-rich 8-ounce serving of milk delivers about 300 mg of calcium, along with vitamins A and D and about 8 g of protein.
"A lot of people have trouble digesting lactose [milk sugar]," which can trigger digestive problems, Gurgevich explains. Others are allergic to casein, or milk protein. Conventional milk may be produced with added growth hormones and antibiotics.
Bottom Line
If you drink cow's milk, choose organic, and as a rule stick to low-fat or nonfat varieties. But for women trying to conceive, it may be worth including full-fat dairy; a 2007 study suggests that consuming whole dairy products may reduce the risk of infertility, while drinking low-fat milk may increase it.
50 to 160 calories per cup, depending on the juice
Many juices deliver vitamin C and other antioxidants. Research has linked fruit and vegetable juice consumption to a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease. Specific juices convey particular benefits: Apple appears to have anticancer effects on the colon, Concord grape may protect memory, cranberry may help prevent urinary-tract infections, and pomegranate contains high levels of antioxidants.
"Many are diluted versions that contain added sugars, flavors, and artificial colors," says Gurgevich. "Plus, if they've been sitting on the shelf, their nutritional benefits may be depleted."
Bottom Line
Squeeze your own to ensure freshness. If that's not feasible, "be a detective in the juice aisle," explains Morgan, as even some so-called healthy brands contain added sugar. Choose antioxidant-rich varieties and drink in moderation. But don't use juice as a replacement for whole fruits and veggies, which offer more fiber and other compounds.
0 calories
Water carries nutrients to cells, moistens membranes, and helps flush out toxins and waste. "Replenishing your body's supply of water is crucial for good health," says Gurgevich. Since research has debunked the notion that everyone needs eight glasses of water a day, stay hydrated by drinking when you're thirsty and after exercise.
Depending on where you live, your tap water may be contaminated with lead, pesticides, and chlorine byproducts. As for bottled water, some brands are packaged tap water, and plastic bottles can leach toxins into the water they contain.
Bottom Line
Make pure, clean water your beverage of choice. "Drink filtered water whenever possible," says Kathie Swift, R.D., nutrition director of the UltraWellness Center in Lenox, Massachusetts. "Store it in stainless steel thermoses rather than plastic containers." If you crave more flavor, squeeze in a lemon or lime rather than buying flavored waters that contain sweeteners or artificial colors.
Milk Alternatives
A cup of regular soy milk, about 100 calories; almond milk, 60; and rice milk, 120
"Soy milk and other alternatives make good choices if you don't like or can't tolerate cow's milk," explains Morgan. They don't contain lactose or casein, rendering them easier to digest for some people. Almond milk is rich in vitamin E and magnesium, while soy milk is high in protein and potentially healthful isoflavones.
Some people find soy milk causes gas and bloating, while others are allergic to soy. Rice milk is super-sweet and very low in protein, making it not the best choice for kids.
Bottom Line
Milk alternatives can be a healthful substitute for dairy; pay attention to how your body reacts to them. Whichever nondairy drink you choose, says Morgan, make sure it is fortified with calcium and vitamin D.
2 calories a cup for black coffee; cream and sugar up the calories
Once viewed as a guilty pleasure at best, coffee now makes headlines for its potential health-giving properties. Recent research has linked regular consumption to a lower risk of type-2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, gallstones, and some types of cancer. A study published in Annals of Internal Medicine found that, over the course of 24 years, women who drank two to three cups a day had a moderately lower risk of dying from all causes than their non-coffee-drinking peers.
Despite coffee's possible benefits, "its caffeine is a drug and can be addictive," says Weil. It can trigger and worsen gastrointestinal problems, insomnia, irregular heartbeat, and anxiety, and may also raise cholesterol. And many coffee drinks are very caloric; a 16-ounce caramel Frappuccino with whipped cream, for instance, has a whopping 380 calories. What's more, many conventional coffee beans are heavily sprayed with pesticides.
Bottom Line
"Take note of how it affects you," suggests Weil, and drink moderate amounts or abstain accordingly. Look for organic varieties.
Same as regular coffee
The study that found a lower risk of death in regular coffee drinkers showed a small reduction in mortality rates with decaffeinated coffee. Other research suggests that regular consumption of decaf coffee may help lower risk of type-2 diabetes in women.
Contrary to popular belief, decaf isn't truly caffeine-free: A 2006 study found that most major brands of decaf still contained 8.6 to 13.9 mg of caffeine, about an eighth of what's in an 8-ounce cup of regular coffee. Like caffeinated varieties, decaf coffee can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol, possibly because of the type of bean used. The decaffeination process itself also poses a problem: Two of the chemical solvents sometimes used to remove caffeine are harmful to health -- and one is a suspected carcinogen.
Bottom Line
If you want to avoid caffeine, don't rely on decaf coffee. If you do drink it, look for brands made with safer decaffeination methods, such as the Swiss water process (often indicated with a logo on packaging).
118 per 5-ounce serving
Moderate amounts of wine have been shown to boost HDL ("good") cholesterol, thin the blood, and potentially lower the risk of both cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline. Red wine may have additional advantages: It's rich in resveratrol, a plant chemical that may help prevent blood clotting and plaque formation in blood vessels. Although human research is sparse, mouse and lab studies suggest that resveratrol may help prevent cancer and increase longevity.
Wine may increase triglyceride levels and trigger migraines in susceptible people. Plus, research shows that alcohol in general can increase the risk of breast cancer. Excessive use is linked to several other types of cancer along with osteoporosis.
Bottom Line
As with any type of alcohol, moderation is key. That means no more than one drink a day for women and no more than two for men.
For regular beer, about 140 calories per 12-ounce serving; light beer, about 100 calories; flavored malt beverages, 190 to 241 calories
Like other types of alcohol, beer is associated with decreased rates of cardiovascular disease.
Regular beer is high in calories and carbohydrates, which may help account for the stereotypical "beer belly" that some devotees develop. As with other types of alcohol, excessive use ups your risk of several types of cancer and osteoporosis.
Bottom Line
Like wine, beer is fine in moderation -- but watch its effects on your waistline.
About 98 calories per 1.5-ounce serving for vodka, gin, and other forms of liquor
Also known as spirits and distilled beverages, liquor has been linked to the same health benefits that beer and wine confer.
Liquor has a much higher alcohol content -- 40 percent alcohol or more -- than beer (3 to 8 percent alcohol) and wine (11 to 14 percent alcohol). Adding sweet mixers such as juice and soda can make it particularly easy to consume higher amounts of liquor without realizing it, increasing the health risks and calorie count. As with other types of alcohol, excessive use ups your risk of several types of cancer and osteoporosis.
Bottom Line
Limit your intake to small amounts.
About 150 calories per 12-ounce can
Soda counts toward your daily fluid intake. "And that's the only positive thing about it," notes Morgan.
Dubbed "liquid candy," colas and other soft drinks are loaded with high-fructose corn syrup, calories, and caffeine and contain virtually no nutrients. Studies have tied soft-drink consumption to higher rates of obesity, type-2 diabetes, and cavities. Natural soft drinks lack the additives of their mainstream peers but often contain large amounts of sugar.
Bottom Line
"Skip the sodas," advises Gurgevich.
Diet Soda
0 to 1 calorie
Diet soft drinks contribute to daily fluid intake -- but contain no high-fructose corn syrup or sugar.
Most diet drinks are flavored with artificial sweeteners that come with their own set of health concerns. "Some evidence suggests that aspartame [NutraSweet] may harm the body's nervous system," Gurgevich explains. Other research shows that diet beverages confer the same risks that regular sodas do, even increasing the risk of metabolic syndrome, which is associated with heart disease. And diet sodas may actually make you gain weight. "Artificial sweeteners fool the body into expecting sugar," says Weil. "In the long run, they can increase sugar cravings, leading you to consume more calorie-dense foods."
Bottom Line
Skip the diet sodas, too. Drinking them squeezes healthier beverages, like water, out of your diet.
What About Holiday Drinks?
Hot cocoa, cider, and eggnog are popular -- and tasty -- holiday indulgences. Here's the nutrition lowdown on these seasonal favorites.
Hot Chocolate
Research has shown that high-quality dark chocolate is rich in antioxidant compounds that may slightly reduce blood pressure and help prevent cancer. But the type of cocoa makes a difference. "Stay away from packaged hot cocoa mixes," advises Gurgevich, who points out that most conventional brands contain artificial flavors, thickeners, and high amounts of sugar or artificial sweeteners such as aspartame. Instead, make your own the old-fashioned way: Melt good-quality dark chocolate; stir in warm organic cow's, soy, or almond milk; and season with honey, agave nectar, cinnamon, or even a dusting of chile powder.
This blend of milk, eggs, sugar, and rum is synonymous with Christmas for many people. It's also packed with calcium -- about 150 mg per half-cup serving, says Morgan. But most packaged nogs are high in saturated fat, sugar, and calories and often laden with artificial additives. Your best bet? Whip some up yourself, using low-fat milk or a milk alternative, organic eggs, and less sugar, and limit yourself to about half a cup.
Apple Cider
Again, avoid brands of bottled cider that contain sugar or artificial sweeteners. Instead, says Morgan, opt for those labeled 100 percent real juice -- they're rich in vitamin C. Mull your own by heating it in a slow cooker or saucepan with cinnamon and cloves.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College & State University men's basketball program and head coach Terry Sellers announced the signing of Mike Augustine Tuesday.
Augustine comes to Milledgeville from Southwestern Illinois College where he played two years under head coach Jay Harrington. Augustine is originally from Waterloo, Ill.
The SWIC Blue Storm went 22-7 this past season and made it to the Region XXIV Semifinals. Augustine shot 35 percent from the three point line and 43 percent from the field.
"Mike is a 6-foot-6 guard who can play multiple positions," said Sellers. "We believe he can successfully play both guard positions and small forward. We really like his versatility, basketball savvy and experience. Coach Toby Wagoner did a good job of recruiting Illinois junior colleges this season and we are very pleased Mike has chosen to continue his career as a Bobcat."
The Bobcats are fresh off a 22-6 season in 2009-10, winning the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) West Division title. Georgia College has now made back-to-back trips to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1999-2000 and picked up its fourth 20-win season in the past five years. The Bobcats were ranked as high as No. 14 in the NABC National Rankings. Georgia College loses five Seniors including Graham Martin (2005-10) who was named first team all-conference and Ty Rowland (2006-10) who was a third team all-conference selection.
The GCSU Department of Athletics, winners of the 2008-09 PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Georgia College prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler announced today that two-thirds of the City's street rehabilitation projects are expected to be finished by this fall. Eight of the 29 projects have been completed and 11 more are scheduled to be completed by the end of September. See an updated list of projects.
In February, the City was awarded about $9.3 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding for streets and roads. Beutler directed the City Public Works and Utilities Department to add $6.9 million in local street funds for a combined roads package of about $16.2 million. The funds are being used to rehabilitate about 20 miles of arterial streets throughout the community. The City uses a pavement management analysis system to determine the condition of City roads and help prioritize repairs.
More information on the City's street projects is available at lincoln.ne.gov (keywords: projects or stimulus).

England 38-21 New Zealand
Stunning England defeat All Blacks

Match Analysis by ESPNscrum
England produced an astonishing performance to beat the All Blacks 38-21 at Twickenham on Saturday in their biggest victory over the Kiwis in their Test history.
Owen Farrell kicked England into a 15-0 lead before the All Blacks hit back with two tries in three second-half minutes from Julian Savea and Kieran Read. Twickenham sensed the worst.
The All Blacks had found their cutting edge and a third consecutive defeat to southern hemisphere opposition seemed in the offing. But England responded with a stunning three-try blitz from Brad Barritt, Chris Ashton and Manu Tuilagi and the records tumbled.
The All Blacks had not lost in 20 matches. They had not lost an autumn Test for a decade, since England beat them 31-18 in November 2002. That England team went on to win the Rugby World Cup a year later. Stuart Lancaster's current England team are at the opposite end of their development.
The absence of Toby Flood through injury left them without a single 50-cap player. England had fewer caps in their entire starting line-up than New Zealand had in their front row. The team's character had never been denied but their maturity and ability to turn positive performances into results had been questioned after narrow defeats to Australia and South Africa.
No longer. England rocked the All Blacks. New Zealand were hit by a vomiting bug in the week. But not as hard as they were hit by England. The first signs of England's physical dominance came in the lineout and with their early ball-carrying, with Joe Launchbury, Tom Youngs and Tuilagi all making early ground.
But it was without the ball that England really set the tone. Their kick-chase had the All Blacks under pressure and they swamped New Zealand in defence. England had a slice of fortune when Cory Jane was judged to have strayed marginally offside before collecting Dan Carter's inch-perfect cross-kick.
Carter, almost inexplicably, also missed two penalty shots at goal. England felt they had not had that bounce of the ball against Australia and South Africa. Today they made the most of it.
After 21 minutes, England won a scrum penalty and Farrell kicked a fantastic touch, to move play into the All Blacks 22 for the first time and Geoff Parling won a confident lineout. England drove powerfully but fell foul of the new five-second law after referee George Clancy, under the mistaken impression the maul had halted, called on scrum-half Ben Youngs to use it.
New Zealand were awarded the scrum but England kept the pressure on. Tom Wood charged down Savea's clearance to keep England in the All Blacks 22 and more pressure earned another lineout. Ben Morgan peeled off the driving maul, Chris Robshaw crashed the ball up the middle and England moved it wide through Morgan and Alex Goode to Ashton.
The wing dropped the ball but he was well covered anyway and referee Clancy brought play back for a penalty, which Farrell kicked confidently to push England ahead. Almost immediately from the restart, Morgan was penalised for hitting a ruck from the side but Carter missed his second shot at goal from virtually in front of the posts.
New Zealand began to work through the phases but England's white defensive wall responded with some ferocious tackles, notably Tom Youngs on Carter, before Dan Cole won a turnover. Israel Dagg tried to run back a Ben Youngs box kick but he was smothered in his own half by Launchbury and Wood, who won the penalty and Farrell coolly kicked the goal.
Keven Mealamu then overthrew a lineout and England were back on the attack, with Tuilagi and Goode combining to break the gain-line before Farrell slotted a drop-goal.
As the clock ticked down to half-time, England kept the ball. Robshaw drove around the fringes, the All Blacks were drawn offside and Farrell slotted his third penalty.
England then extended their lead beyond two converted tries when the All Blacks scrum went down and Farrell landed his fourth penalty from wide on the right. But when Farrell scragged Aaron Smith at a ruck near England's line and was penalised, the tide appeared to have turned.
New Zealand went for touch, won the lineout and then spread play to the opposite wing where Savea cut infield and beat four defenders to score, with Carter converting.
Suddenly, the All Blacks had their tails up. Farrell was under pressure as he tried to clear England's lines and he failed to find touch. Dagg danced down the right touchline, England's defence was disorganised and the All Blacks cut them open again with Jane and Conrad Smith combining to send Read over.
England could have wobbled under the onslaught of two tries in three minutes. Instead, they hit back with a vengeance with Tuilagi the destroyer in-chief. Smith drifted too early in defence, Barritt straightened through the gap and passed to Tuilagi before receiving the offload back to score his first Test try. Farrell's conversion hit the crossbar.
Tuilagi then crashed through two defenders as England attacked from clean lineout ball and his perfectly-delayed pass sent Ashton searing over the line for his first try in 12 Tests. Tuilagi then picked off a loose pass from Read and galloped 50 metres for England's third try in eight minutes, which Farrell converted before being replaced by Freddie Burns.
The Gloucester fly-half wrapped up the victory with two penalties. Savea scored his second try with five minutes remaining but nothing could deny England their first win against New Zealand in nine years.

It seems that everything Wes Anderson touches turns out sweet adorableness (or saccharine crap, depending on your tolerance). That is certainly true for this Sony Xperia ad, directed by master of twee himself. His new creation follows the release of some Hyundai commercials earlier this month.
So, what's the best way to advertise a boring ol' cellphone? Easy. Make an ad that has nothing to do with the product. It's an age old method. But, that's cool with me! I'm happy to lose myself in one of Wes Anderson's quirky and charming worlds for 30 seconds. [YouTube via The Verge]

"Dear White People" may be a satire about race relations but cast members said they hope people walk away with more than just a few laughs.
The film, which played at the recently concluded Los Angeles Film Festival, follows a group of black students on a fictional, predominately white college campus as they explore racial identity in a "post-racial" America.
"I want people to walk away from the film feeling some kind of way," said writer-director Justin Simien. "I want [viewers] to have enjoyed themselves but even more so I want there to be some sort of thing in them that is kind of disturbed that they have to talk about."
Simien, who went to Chapman University in Orange County, said he put himself into many of the characters.
"I wanted to comment on my black experience --being a black face navigating between white spaces and black space, not really sure how I fit into either," he said. "That was the experience of many of my friends and peers."
Tessa Thompson, who plays the activist and film protagonist Samantha, said character growth is at the core of the film.
"It's really about identity and who you are, who you think you ought to be and who people want to you to be," she said. "I think it's something that we all deal with."
Tension escalates toward the end of the movie when a group of mostly white students, wearing blackface and drinking out of watermelons, throw an African American-themed party.
In reality, a number of college campuses across the U.S. have received media attention (and backlash) after throwing similar parties and posting photos of them on social media.
"The riot at the race-themed party…hits close to home," said actor Brandon Bell, who plays Troy in the movie. "If you've been to college in the U.S. you've seen that."
Bell said the film does a good job poking fun at the idea of race on college campuses while also shedding light on "reality of race in this country."
"The film is funny, at the end of the day… but it will definitely strike a nerve," he said.
Marque Richardson, who plays Reggie in the film, said he and Bell shared camaraderie both on set and when they lived on an all-black floor together as freshmen at USC.
So far, the actors said the film has generated laughter, tears and even some uncomfortable silences. At the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, where it debuted, it took home the Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Talent.
"At Sundance…there was a woman who worked at a Fortune 500 company that said, your film should be shown in our race sensitivity meetings," Bell recalled. "That blew me away because you make a film to entertain but when it goes above and beyond and changes the way people think…that's just icing on the cake."
Just before the LAFF screening on Wednesday night, Simien made sure to tell the audience: "It's OK to laugh."
"Dear White People" is scheduled to hit theaters in October.

Sea Surface Temperature
Sea Surface Temperature (SST) is a measure of the energy due to the motion of molecules at the top layer of the ocean. Depending on the sensor, spaceborne measurements give us an unprecedented global measurement of sea surface temperatures every few days to a week. Temperatures are measured from approximately 10 µm below the surface (infrared bands) to 1mm (microwave bands) depths using radiometers.
Prior to the 1980s measurements of SST were derived from instruments on shorelines, ships and buoys. The first automated method of gathering SST was by measuring water flowing through the input ports of ocean faring ships. While this method obtained a significant quantity of useful SST data there were some shortcomings. The depth of the input ports of different ships can vary greatly from ship to ship. In a stratified ocean these different depths can have different temperatures. This method also resulted in rigorous sampling along major shipping routes but a dearth of information about the vast majority of the world's oceans.
Since the 1980's most of the information about global SST has come from satellite observations. Instruments like the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on board (MODIS) onboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites orbit the Earth approximately 14 times per day, enabling it to gathering more SST data in 3 months than all other combined SST measurements taken before the advent of satellites.
The motion of electrically charged particles produces electromagnetic radiation of various wavelengths. The electromagnetic spectrum comprises the range of these wavelengths. From longest to shortest the general wavelength categories are radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma ray.
The ocean and most other objects emit radiation in the infrared and the microwave wavelengths. The amplitude of these wavelengths vary with the temperature of the ocean and therefore can be used to measure it. Satellite sensors can measure these bands from space. Infrared radiation of the ocean comes from the top 10 microns of the surface. Microwave radiation results from the topmost 1-millimeter layer. Infrared satellite sensors have better spatial resolution but are more susceptible to cloud contamination than microwave. This is due to the absorption of the ocean emitted infrared energy by clouds.
Today in addition to satellite and shipboard measurements there are thousands of floats in the oceans measuring temperature and salinity. These are used to validate satellite instruments in addition to sampling throughout the water column. The surface drifters from the Global Drifter Program (GDP) provide regularly about 60,000 night time SST measurements per month at a shallower depth of 0.2 m. becoming the biggest contribution to the in-situ global SST, Ocean Currents, and Salinity measurements.
A major accomplishment in the distribution of satellite derived SSTs occurred with the Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) project. The project provides all SST data sets in a common format that allows for easy accessibility across different computer platforms and operating systems. To provide data sets that are suitable for climate modeling a necessary requirement is that climate data records come with a description of the errors associated with each SST value. The GHRSST project, to accommodate using these data sets in climate and ocean modeling, provides a full characterization of the errors associated with each pixel. It is important to remember that satellites can only measure temperature at or close to the surface. Other instruments, or models, must be used to determine temperature at depth.
Global ocean temperature data below the surface are primarily measured using moorings and drifters. Moorings are good for measuring time series through the depths of the water column and one particular longitudinal/latitudinal location. Most deeper ocean temperature data are measured from drifters. There are over 3000 drifters in the ocean today. Ocean drifters are usually placed at a particular place in the ocean and then descend to a predefined depth where they record a time series of water temperature while moving with the currents at that depth. One disadvantage of drifters is that most shut off their sensors between 5m deep and the surface to avoid fouling.
If a particular area or line of interest is to be measured underwater, autonomous gliders and/or forward propelled vehicles may be used. These carry temperature-recording devices along with depth and salinity sensors, clocks and GPS. These vehicles enable scientists to plan specific routes in which to make measurements.

Oh sure, we like to eye the resplendent red-carpet happenings, the dolled-up gowns, the twirls, the "this old thing?' chitchats as stars drift past the entertainment journos. But we're really dreaming about the party to end all parties, the famous Governor's Ball, which happens just after the Oscars. If you're wondering why we're mentally jumping ahead, well, in a word, or two, the food. The delicious, over-the-top, drizzled in exquisite sauces food, overseen by none other than Wolfgang Puck himself. And consider that by the time the Governor's Ball gets swinging, all the winners are known and everyone can just kick off the spike heels and relax.
But beyond kicking off their heels, they are eating. Drinking/kissing/carousing, too, as the magazines will later show in full-color photographs, but eating, too. And the menu for 2009? Think crab cakes crusted in wasabi peas. Kobe burgers with aged cheddar and remoulade (we love remoulade so very much, at least we think). Plus pizza made with yummies like smoked salmon and black truffles. And tons of other foodie-hypnotizing delectables.
And, as always, Oscar-y type desserts. Thousands of small chocolate Oscars will be on the march -- or nestled next to dinner plates -- at the ball, and it just seems like this starry party wouldn't be the same without them. We're pleased to see them return year after year.
When all those starlets are saying on the red carpet that they had a half-cooked egg white 15 hours ago to fit into the dress they're wearing, maybe they're just saving room for all the good stuff to come at the Governor's Ball.
