Re: Circ and Vax links information
I am not sure if it has been mentioned here yet...I posted this in the Top 10 Reasons thread and figured I should post it here as well... Brian J. Morris, the man who runs many pro-circ websites and FB pages and is probably the most outspoken pro-circ "advocate" is at best, a weirdo.
He was involved with The Gilgal Society, whose leader, Vernon Quinatance, was arrested for possessing child ****ography. http://www.thisiscroydontoday.co.uk/...#axzz2fZrCSnJM
After Vernon's arrest, Brian Morris removed all of the Gilgal Society logos from his brochures, he removed the "circumcision humor" section which included a photo of a nude male toddler with a flip phone dangling from his foreskin, and he removed a poem written by Vernon from his site.
Here is the circumcision humor section, including that wildly inappropriate photo and Vernon's poem, from 2010: http://web.archive.org/web/201006120...ion_humor.html
If you click on the brochures on the right sidebar, they all display the Gilgal Society logo... here is one of them: http://web.archive.org/web/201007071...dfs/GFW-EN.pdf
Brian Morris did make the mistake of leaving a strange list of Yahoo Groups on his site... If you click "Links & Resources" on his website, and go down to "Online Discussion Groups" strange groups like "eroticmalecircumcision" "circumcision****** "cuttingclub" "circumcisedkids" and "circumcisedteens" are there.
Those links have been there for years, since at least 2008: http://web.archive.org/web/200801221...on_groups.html
Here is an archive of the "eroticmalecircumcision" group from 2003. the group appears to have been shut down in 2004, but Morris has not removed the link from his site. The group is a circumcision ****** group, by their own admission. http://web.archive.org/web/200312281...ecircumcision/
Here is an archive of "circumcision******" from 2005 http://web.archive.org/web/200502040...mcision******/
if you look at the archive for circumcision****** from 2007, it says the group has been closed and they have moved to another website. i clicked the link and it led me to an out of date gay ****** social media type site.

On Circumcision and HIV:
"Push for male circumcision in Nyanza fails to reduce infections:
The prevalence of HIV and Aids rose in Nyanza and Central provinces, according to the Kenya Aids Indicative Survey released by the Health Cabinet Secretary James Macharia on Tuesday.
But Central's 3.8 per cent prevalence increase from the previous 3.6 per cent is a mere fraction of Nyanza's 15.1 per cent up from 2007's 14.9 per cent.
Nyanza's prevalence is big enough to double the national average prevalence.
And it has happened in spite of an aggressive campaign to have male circumcision as a strategy to reduce new infections in the region."
"There appears to be no clear pattern of association between male circumcision and HIV
prevalence. In 8 of 18 countries with data, as expected, HIV prevalence is lower among circumcised men,
while in the remaining 10 countries HIV prevalence is higher among circumcised men. "
" Circumcision of HIV-infected men did not reduce HIV transmission to female partners over 24 months; longer-term effects could not be assessed. Condom use after male circumcision is essential for HIV prevention."

GEORGE TOWN, July 9 — Datuk Bung Moktar Radin's tweet saluting deceased Nazi leader Adolf Hitler following Germany's demolition of Brazil in the World Cup would have landed the Kinabatangan MP in a German jail, DAP chief Lim Guan Eng said today.
The Penang chief minister pointed out that Bung Moktar's adulatory comment of Hitler was a slur to Germany rather than a compliment, and falls foul of the country's denazification laws.
"Bung Moktar should know that if he was to say this in Germany, he could go to prison for supporting Nazism," Lim said at a press conference at his office today.
The DAP secretary-general was responding to Bung Moktar's tweet via his twitter handle @mykinabatangan stating "Well done...Bravo...Long live Hitler" at 5.30am this morning.
Bung Moktar was commenting on the 2014 World Cup match that saw Germany advancing to the finals after defeating Brazil 7-1.
Lim today expressed shock over Bung's remarks and reprimanded the Umno lawmaker for portraying the country as supportive of Nazi Germany.
"I hope the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak would come out and disassociate from Nazism and scold Bung Moktar for his insensitive remark or else this may drive away foreign investors, especially from Germany," Lim said.
He also urged the PM to direct Bung Moktar to withdraw and apologise for his remarks.
Aside from the furore over his initial tweet, Bung Moktar also courted further controversy when he responded to criticism of his remark with an allegedly racial slur.
"Maybe you are like P. Ramasamy, just drank todi," Bung Moktar tweeted in reply to one detractor.
Lim said the MP had insulted Penang Chief Minister II Prof P. Ramasamy by implying that he drank (toddy), which is fermented palm juice.
"This is an insult, I don't believe Ramasamy drinks toddy," Lim said.
Ramasamy, who was also present, termed the remark against him as a racist one.
"I have nothing against toddy but I don't drink toddy and this coming from him, it is not surprising as he has a record of making racist and discriminatory jokes against non-Malays and women," Ramasamy said.
He said what Bung Moktar said against him and about Hitler were both uncalled for.
The Umno lawmaker earlier defended his tweet by saying that he was commending the German football national team for "fighting like" Hitler.
"I don't know what's wrong with people sometimes. Hitler is part of history and the German team fought like how he did," Bung told English news portal The Star Online.
Austrian-born Hitler was dictator of Nazi Germany and at the centre of the Second World War and Holocaust that claimed millions of lives.
Modern-day Germany has laws that prohibit the distribution or public use of symbols of unconstitutional groups, in particular, flags, insignia, uniforms, slogans and forms of greeting related to the Third Reich and other forms of fascism.
Penalties for the offences include fines and imprisonment of up to three years.

So how are we doing on government transparency? It was a major issue during the last gubernatorial campaign. Former Gov. Bill Richardson was raked over the coals for alleged corruption in the investment of billions of state dollars in worthless securities.
Gov. Susana Martinez promised to do much better. A year and a half into her administration the results are mixed. The governor has been criticized for slow responses to records requests and heavily redacted records. The attorney general and state auditor are looking into whether there was some type of collusion in the award of the state fair racino bid.
But there also is good news. A big flap over an exchange of private emails seeking information on the membership status of teachers in a union led to a decision by Gov. Martinez to declare that she wants every email regarding state business to be conducted through state email accounts even though the law allows discussions of a preliminary nature to be conducted privately.
Incidentally, the information requested by Jay McCleskey, the governor's chief adviser, was for a list of teachers who don't belong to a union. Presumably, McCleskey figured those teachers would be more likely to side with the governor on education issues. The list the Public education Department prepared identified teachers in school districts without bargaining contracts.
Generally that would be a good list but in education, teachers choose whether to join a union or not regardless of whether the district has a bargaining contract.
The best news from this administration is an announcement from Gregg Marcantel, the recently appointed secretary of the Corrections Department. He announced that his department uncovered information that it has held a prisoner six months too long.
This is a story that the department could have buried for years or forever, according to Milan Simonich, who covers the Capitol for the Texas-New Mexico Newspaper Partnership. But as an administrator in New Mexico state government, Marcantel is peerless. He works hard, constantly assesses his department to fix weaknesses and hides nothing, says Simonich.
News from the Legislature isn't quite as good. Gov. Martinez, in defending her administration's use of private email accounts to discuss government business, noted that lawmakers frequently do the same. They do and they won't be as quick to correct the practice.
Legislators are faced with a different situation. They are not government employees. As members of a citizen legislature, they constantly juggle their public business with private businesses.
Now that the use of public and private emails has become an issue, lawmakers seem willing to discuss the situation and establish some policies. Meanwhile they seem resolute about not getting into a partisan battle over who has done what.
Lawmakers also tussle over how open their meetings should be. Especially with conference committees to iron out disagreements between the House and Senate, legislative leaders maintain that conferees behave themselves much better when they don't have an audience.
Televising of regular committee meetings also has become an issue. Republican congressional nominee Janice Arnold-Jones became the Sunshine Queen when she took televising equipment into committee meetings of which she was a member. She won the battle to keep her equipment rolling but drew the wrath of some committee heads.
She also may have incurred the animosity of many fellow Republicans. Although she won her 1st Congressional District primary, she did it on a shoestring and is getting little help in her battle against Democratic nominee Michelle Lujan Grisham.
Finally, transparency problems also exist in election campaigns. Senate Corporations Committee Chairman Phil Griego was charged with misspending campaign funds by one of his Democratic primary election opponents.
Republican Secretary of State Diana Duran held off looking into the situation until after the primary election in which Democrat Griego was given campaign assistance by our Republican governor. Griego would not talk with any media during the primary but now is seeking out the media.
Duran was scheduled to release her findings Friday.

The Ravens have not budged from their contention that no matter which Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback lines up under center Sunday, they are preparing to defend the offense, not the quarterback.
The identity of that quarterback is still unknown, but Ben Roethlisberger is scheduled to increase his workload at Wednesday's practice.
That doesn't mean that Roethlisberger has been cleared to play after suffering dislocated ribs and a sprained right throwing shoulder in the Steelers' 16-13 overtime win against the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 12. In fact, coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Charlie Batch is still the starter.
But Tomlin said that Roethlisberger is making progress.
"He's in a different position than he was the last time we talked," Tomlin said Wednesday during a conference call with Baltimore media. "He threw a little bit on Monday. He's scheduled to throw in some capacity today. We'll see where the week will take us."
Pittsburgh could use a boost from its franchise quarterback. Since the organization drafted him in the first round in 2004, the team is 0-5 against the Ravens when he has missed a game because of injury or suspension.
The Steelers have dropped both contests in which Roethlisberger has been sidelined, averaging 11 fewer points and committing 11 turnovers compared to nine in the first nine games. And at 6-5, Pittsburgh is three games behind the first-place Ravens in the race for the AFC North title.
Wide receiver Mike Wallace said the offense will prepare for Sunday's game with either Roethlisberger or Batch under center, but he also conceded that there's a noticeable difference in the way the quarterbacks run the offense.
"He's one of the best quarterbacks in the game," Wallace said of Roethlisberger during a conference call Wednesday. "So obviously, when he's not in there, things are going to be different."
The Ravens reiterated that they are planning to limit the Steelers when they have the ball, not the individual quarterback.
"We'll do the same thing we did last time and the same thing we really do every week," coach John Harbaugh said. "We'll prepare for their offense. Their offense is very formidable. They have a big, physical offensive line. They're very capable of running the ball very well and very aggressively. They have playmakers at every one of their skill positions that have to be defended and can score a touchdown at any time. They've got physical backs, too. They've proven against us and everybody else that they can break tackles. So whatever quarterback ends up playing in this game, he's going to be very capable of running their offense very well. And we've seen that before, we've seen it from experience."

Turnovers Costly in Football Loss at No. 5 Florida, 23-10
LSU Sports Interactive
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida scored 16 points off three LSU turnovers and earned seven more on a short field following a safety, as the No. 5 Gators took advantage of the errors to win, 23-10, on Saturday afternoon at The Swamp in Gainesville.
LSU (4-2, 1-2 SEC) lost for the second time in as many road contests this season, both to teams ranked in the top 5. The Tigers return to action on Saturday, Oct. 14, when Kentucky visits Tiger Stadium for the first of two home games.
Florida (6-0, 4-0) took control of the SEC's Eastern Division by winning for the third week in a row at home.
A muffed punt, JaMarcus Russell's second interception of the season, and a safety on a muffed kickoff return led to a 1-yard rushing touchdown and a 1-yard passing touchdown by Florida freshman Tim Tebow for Florida's first 16 points of the game.
The Tigers also fumbled on the Florida 1-yard line, had a touchdown pass called back by penalty, had a punt blocked and threw two interceptions inside Gators territory.
Conversely, Florida' made mistakes -- a fumble in LSU territory, an interception and a blocked punt of its own. But, LSU could not do to Florida today what Florida did to LSU.
Russell, sacked once for 1 yard, finished 24 of 41 for 228 yards and a touchdown to Jacob Hester. Three interceptions and a fumble at the goal line, though, will be his memory from his final trip to Gainesville as a Tiger.
His favorite targets -- Craig Davis (eight catches for 85 yards), Dwayne Bowe (six for 50) and Early Doucet (five for 68) -- were productive. However, two of the interceptions were touched by Bowe before being pulled down by Gators.
LSU's Jacob Hester proved his worth as an all-purpose back, leading all rushers with 43 yards on nine carries while catching five passes for 25 more. He scored LSU's only touchdown from 2 yards out.
Florida was able to take advantage of LSU's turnovers thanks to Tebow. The 6-3, 229-pounder was the right change of pace against an LSU defense that gave Chris Leak fits.
Tebow was 2-for-2 passing for 36 yards and two touchdown passes, while rushing for a touchdown to account for 18 of the 23 Gators points. He was one yard short of being the team's leading rusher, behind Moore's 36 yards.
LSU won its sixth coin toss in as many games, and elected to defer until the second half as usual.
Florida completed passes on its first three plays from scrimmage to three different receivers for 27 yards. With a 15-yard run by the middle by Moore, the Gators entered LSU territory with little resistance.
After gaining a first down to the LSU 28, Tigers linebacker Luke Sanders forced Moore to fumble and safety Jessie Daniels recovered to end the Florida drive.
Russell converted on third down by scrambling to his right and tossing over two Florida defenders to Craig Davis to advance into Florida territory. A personal foul on Florida gave LSU a first down at the Florida 16-yard line.
Four plays later, Russell found Hester wide open on a play-action pass from the 2-yard line to give LSU the early lead with 6:45 to play in the opening quarter.
The LSU defense stepped up to the challenge on its opening drive, however, Chevis Jackson looked into the sun and muffed the punt to allow Florida its first points of the game.
Tebow scored from the LSU 1-yard line on fourth down to complete a 19-yard scoring drive with 11 seconds to play in the quarter.
The points were the first allowed by the LSU defense in the first quarter this season.
In the second quarter, LSU's first punt of the game was downed at the Florida 1-yard line. However, a procedure penalty against LSU forced another punt. Jackson's lesser attempt landed out of bounds 28 yards farther up field.
The second major field position mistake of the game didn't cost LSU, as Jackson redeemed himself by snaring a Leak pass on the next play at the LSU 24-yard line.
Another pair of mistakes on the part of the LSU offense plagued a 17-play, 75-yard drive that ended at the Florida 1.
A holding penalty by Herman Johnson nullified a touchdown catch and run by Davis. Four plays later, after a Hester run was reviewed and spotted at the 1, Russell fumbled the center exchange to give the Gators possession.
Though Florida quickly went three-and-out, Russell's long pass toward Brandon LaFell on the next play was picked off to setup Florida's second touchdown of the half.
The Gators converted a third-and-15 from their 23-yard line to build momentum. On second-and-goal at the LSU 1, Tebow ran toward the line, jumped and double-pumped a pass to stumbling tight end Tate Casey in the back of the end zone.
The point after touchdown gave Florida a 14-7 lead at the half.
The second half started exactly wrong for the Tigers.
In the first five minutes of the half, the following went down:
Early Doucet muffed the kickoff, had the ball jarred loose at the 3-yard line before Trindon Holliday recovered in the endzone for a safety (14:46)
Florida scored a quick strike touchdown from Tebow to sophomore wide receiver Louis Murphy (12:05).
Finally, LSU had a punt blocked when Florida's Reggie Nelson broke the LSU "wedge" and got to Chris Jackson (10:10).
The nightmare finally ended when Florida placekicker Chris Hetland missed a 37-yard field goal -- his fourth miss in as many attempts in 2006.
The nine quick Florida points gave the Gators a 23-7 lead.
However, LSU couldn't take advantage of the miss, as Colt David pushed a 41-yard field goal of his own with 2:46 left in the third quarter.
Later, David knocked through a career-long 45-yard field goal with 11:53 left in the game to reduce the Florida lead to 23-10.
It was too little, too late.
LSU's last gasp into Florida territory ended when a ball intended for Bowe careened into the air and was intercepted at the 23-yard line by cornerback Ryan Smith.
The Tigers had worked their way from the LSU 6 to the Florida 38 in just over 60 seconds.
LSU found a ray of hope in a blocked punt by LaRon Landry with 3:17 to play, but Russell's pass into the endzone on the first play was tipped by Bowe and intercepted by Tony Joiner.
The series of events were fitting of the Tigers' day.
The crowd of 90,714 was the second-largest in Florida history, trailing only the Sept. 17, 2005, game against Tennessee which had two more attendants.

LSU Head Coach Les Miles Quotes
Florida vs. LSU
On the game:
"We started out well, we were sharp going down the field except for the early punt return fumble. The fumble was a big turn of events, along with several penalties, that lead to a long drive to them the lead before the half. It really swung the momentum. At half time, I felt like our team wanted to come back out and play like they're capable, but the on ensuing kickoff and two-pointer certainly didn't help us. We made mistakes in a number of spots, and its work to do. We're a good football team but we didn't play like it today, and we're all disappointed."
On a 17 play drive with no results:
"There's no question that it certainly affected the momentum. We would've never thought we would go into the half behind."
On Tim Tebow:
"He's a rock'em-sock'em kind of runner. He's a big strong kid, a competitive guy. He plays hard inside the tackles. Florida used him to their advantage today."
LSU Player Quotes
Florida vs. LSU
Junior Quarterback JaMarcus Russell
On the bad snap:
"It was a sneak and the center had a guy hit up on him too soon, and I didn't really get a chance to get the ball."
On the rest of the season:
"We have to play for ourselves. Even though we have two losses we have to stay committed to each other."
On playing at The Swamp:
"It's pretty tough. It was on ourselves the way things turned out."
Senior Strong Safety Jessie Daniels
On the rest of the season:
"We have our team to play for. We are still a team, and we are going to come back Monday and play just as hard."
On defending Tim Tebow:
"I don't think it's that hard if you're looking at your keys. It's not that hard to determine if he is running or passing the ball. We knew what they were going to do when he got into the game. He's a tough guy to tackle -- he can take a hit."

- Percy Harvin caught the second pass of the game. It was his first receptions since the game at Tennessee on Sept. 16.
- Junior defensive lineman Lutrell Alford recovered the LSU fumble on a punt return in the first quarter. It was the first fumble recovery of his career, in his first game on the punt team.
- Tim Tebow's touchdown in the first quarter was his third of the season. That ties with DeShawn Wynn for the team lead in rushing touchdowns.
- Brandon Siler recovered an LSU fumble at the Gator 1-yard line in the second quarter. It was his first fumble recovery of the season and eighth of his career
- Jemalle Cornelius' 26-yard catch at the end of the second quarter was his eighth of the season for 20-yards or more.
- Tim Tebow's touchdown pass to Tate Casey to end the first half was the first of his career. It was also Casey's first touchdown catch of the season in only his second reception of the year.
- Chris Leak did not throw a touchdown pass today. The last time he did not throw a touchdown pass was against LSU last season.
2006 Florida Football
Florida Head Coach Urban
Meyer Post-Game Quotes
Opening Statement:
"A lot of the questions that were asked of me last year were about what I learned about the SEC, and the answer to that is you better bring your defense. The team that we played today has to be one of the most talented teams in America. Our special teams played phenomenal. Our punt and kickoff coverage units were great today. We held LSU to minus-10 yards on punt returns, and we really kept them in check. The other telling statistic today was turnovers. Today was a great day for Florida football, and this was one of the best environments that ever been a part of. I'll put our Homecoming up against
anyone in America's after today."
On the play of the running backs:
"We have to find a running back. I'm the guilty one, because I want the ball in DeShawn Wynn's hands. Kestahn Moore's still young. As a coach, we remember the bad things, and that's why we used Tim Tebow a lot."
On being creative offensively:
"You look at how we're scoring points right now, and it's a lot of different ways. I'm awful proud of that. I'm not a betting man, but I'd be on that team in the white right now."
On the momentum in the second half:
"Lou Holtz always tells me that the last five minutes of the first half and the first five minutes of the second half determine the outcome of the game. If you had to say what was the checkmate point today, it was the first five minutes of the second half."
Florida Player Quotes
Florida vs. LSU
Freshman Quarterback Tim Tebow
On his touchdown pass to Tate Casey:
"We ran a tight end pop. We figured they would load the box trying to stop the run. I was just able to throw it up there and Tate Casey made a play."
Junior Tight End Tate Casey
On his touchdown reception
"Tim (Tebow) made a good play. I sort of stumbled back but I concentrated on the ball and made sure I brought it in. It felt like the ball was up there for an hour."
Sophomore Wide Receiver Louis Murphy
On his 35-yard touchdown reception, the first of his career
"It was so amazing. I saw the ball up there. I was so nervous, but (Tim) Tebow made a great pass and I was able to bring it in. I'm just out there trying to help this team win, but it's great to have my first catch go for a touchdown."
Junior Cornerback Ryan Smith
On his second straight two-interception game
"We came into this game trying to stop the deep ball and when our secondary needed to make plays, we were able to get turnovers, not only getting the offense the ball but shifting the momentum in the process."
Freshman Wide Receiver Riley Cooper
On his forced fumble for a safety to open the second half
"I was able to get down the field quick. When I saw that he juggled the ball, I put it into another gear and made the hit. Whenever I get into the game I'm just trying to help this team win."
Senior Quarterback Chris Leak
On today's victory
"This was a very special and emotional moment for us seniors. We are going to remember this for the rest of our lives. It is special being a Gator. To beat a great team like LSU means a lot. The senior class, we go out and play hard and we take a strong work ethic to the practice field and we work for the good of the team."
On the amount of playmakers on the team
"There's a lot of great guys with a lot of speed and talent. We like to spread the ball around and get the ball in the hands of different guys who can make plays."

This was originally posted in 2011. You'll find all my Easter recipes here.
We don't really 'do' chocolate eggs for Easter here in Estonia, but real, chicken eggs. Dyeing eggs for Easter is very popular, and using onion skins is probably the most popular method. Using onion peels gives you most beautiful dyed eggs, each one unique and special. Here are some photos of the process that I took few years ago.
Here's what you need to do:
* Few weeks before Easter start collecting onion peels. Yellow ones are better than red onion skins, as they give a nice colour.
* You need white eggs for doing this (this gives the shops a chance to sell specially packaged white eggs for a much higher price before the festivities).
* Take an egg and neatly put few onion peels around it:
* Take a piece of mesh/muslin/kitchen foil or even an old nylon stocking and wrap it around the egg to keep the onion peels on place. I used foil here:
* Boil as usual. Cool, then unwrap and unpeel.
Here's the result - each egg is unique and gorgeous:
Natasha describes a similar, though less complicated way of dyeing eggs with onion peels that's popular in Russia and Ukraine: Russian Easter Eggs. My 91-year old grandmother uses the same method - she says she's too old to "play around" with the onion peels too much :)

Lemony bread and butter pudding with custard and berries
It's been a while since my last proper blog post, I know. It's not that I've neglected my food-loving readers, I've just been focusing on my Estonian readers during the last months. Apologies :) But here I am, attempting to start blogging again with this fun take on bread and butter pudding.
Why bread and butter pudding? We were sorting the bread and butter recipes over on my Estonians site with one of my editors, Kaare, and while doing the research, I came across this shortcut version in the British food magazine Delicious. Meanwhile, if you read Estonian, you can check out Kaare's great article on this humble - yet versatile dessert: Millal Sa viimati saiavormi sõid?
Lemony bread and butter pudding with custard and berries
(Saiavorm sidrunivõide, vanillipudingi ja marjadega)
Serves 6 to 8
400 g good white bread (brioche, challah or such like)
butter, softened
500 ml (2 cups) fresh vanilla custard
200 ml double cream/whipping cream
300 g berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries)
6 Tbsp lemon curd or toffee/caramel sauce
Preheat the oven to 160°C . Thickly slice the bread and butter one side of each slice. Cut each slice into large triangles or halves and layer in a 2 litre ovenproof dish.
In a 1-litre jug, mix the vanilla custard and fresh cream, then pour in around the bread slices, pressing the bread down gently. If you can, leave to stand and absorb for about half an hour.
Scatter berries on top, tucking them between the bread slices. Spoon dollops of lemon curd or caramel sauce on top.
Bake in a preheated oven for 40-50 minutes until the bread slices on top are golden brown on edges and nicely crispy.
Leave to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with a jug of cream or milk (pictured).

What's New At Salt River Fields In 2014?
The Arizona Diamondbacks will host the Los Angeles Dodgers for the first Cactus League game in 2014 at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick this Wednesday and fans will have much to look forward to at the D-backs' award-winning Spring Training facility, including new food items, additional shade structures and exciting promotions.
D-backs' Spring Training Opening Day on Feb. 26 will be highlighted by a flyover featuring four Yak CJ-6 planes just before the first pitch at 1:10PM. The D-backs, who share Salt River Fields at Talking Stick with the Colorado Rockies, will host the Rockies on Feb. 28 with a flyover and special guests Martin Harvier, Vice President of Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community, and Councilman Tom Largo will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at 1:10PM.
The concessions at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick offer a diverse food selection and this year fans will be able to get the D-backs' Sonoran Dog at Home Plate Hot Dogs. Perhaps the most exciting addition is the Sonoran BBQ stand which offers beef brisket, pulled pork, smoked chicken and a custom sauce bar that allows fans to create their own barbeque sauce concoction. Fans can also get fired up about the new "Flame Thrower" burger available at 101 Cattle Co. that features pepper jack cheese, fried jalapenos and chipotle salsa. Other new additions around the ballpark include two new gourmet pizzas – Hot Hawaiian and Blonde Bombshell – at all Crust locations, a new Island Noodle location with a Gluten Free menu located along the first base side concourse, and a new Snack Attack menu in the premium seating areas that features pepperoni pizza rolls, wings, spinach artichoke dip and soft pretzel bites with nacho cheese dipping sauce.
Fans ages 21 and over will be able to enjoy the new Absolut Bar located at Section 210 that will feature four flavors of Absolut and a variety of mixers that will allow the bartenders to create more than 100 different vodka drinks. A new shade structure at Budweiser Bow Tie near left field will allow fans to escape from the heat to a more comfortable environment and enjoy Anheuser-Busch products. Complimentary sunscreen is provided at several sunscreen stands located on the concourse along the Banana Boat Lawn. As fans arrive at Salt River Fields, they can take a free shuttle courtesy of Honda from designated drop off spots in the parking lots straight to the gate and return after the game.
D-backs fans can also look forward to seeing the famous Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales on March 6 before the D-backs host the Oakland Athletics at 1:10PM. Fans will be able to get their photos taken with the horses prior to the game and watch the Clydesdales parade around the warning track before the game to the tune of their own theme song "Here Comes The King."
The D-backs will host the first-ever Zero-Waste game on March 13 in which fans will be asked to recycle or compost all solid and food wastes generated at the game instead of sending it to the landfill. The Zero-Waste game will be the first for Arizona and is part of Phoenix's new sustainability initiative called Reimagine Phoenix. Also on March 13, fans will be able to take photos with Gerardo Parra and Paul Goldschmidt's Rawlings 2013 Gold Glove Awards before the game.
D-backs players will sign autographs for free before each home game from 11:45AM-Noon on day games and from 5:45-6:00PM on night games. Also new in 2014 is an expanded souvenir program available for $2 and includes more pages for autographs.

According to reports, Manuel broke into her home at 70-34 57th Drive in Maspeth at approximately 3:15 p.m on June 30, tied her down with duct tape, and viciously beat her for several hours while she went in and out of consciousness.
He then reportedly stole her phones, loose cash and her car following the assault and fled the scene.
"There's an extensive manhunt on the way for the guy right now," said 104th Precinct Captain Christopher Manson.
He added Manuel was previously arrested for assaulting his ex-wife and twice violating the order of protection she currently has against him.
"He's an animal with the way he beat her," said Manson. "He didn't just beat her with his fist, but he took an icepick to her eye, slashed her across the eye and now she has a big gash. He's number one on the manhunt list right now."
Manuel is a 38-year-old Asian/Pacific Islander with black hair and brown eyes. He is 5'5" tall and weighs 150 pounds. His last known address was 2414 Bathgate Ave. in the Bronx.
Anyone with information on Manuel's whereabouts is asked to call the NYPD's CrimeStoppers hotline at (800) 577-TIPS; contact the 104th Precinct's Det. Christopher Spagnola at (718) 417-2200, or call the Detective Borough of Queens North at (718) 520-9200.
The public can also submit their tips at nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting 274637(CRIMES) and then entering TIP577.

A statewide grand jury was tasked in 2010 to investigate corruption at the Broward County School Board, but it led agents to an unlikely subject: a school board members sex life.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement found that former School Board Member Jennifer Gottlieb, who abruptly resigned last year, had extramarital affairs with two high-ranking Citigroup bankers who did business with the school board and helped finance millions in public bonds used to build Broward schools.
Both Citigroup bankers -- Rick Patterson of Tampa and Michael Baldwin of Orlando -- were senior managers in the public finance division who admitted to the extramarital affairs in sworn interviews. Baldwin broke down and cried during a sworn interview last year saying he and Gottlieb were in love like "high school kids" and had been romantically linked for three years.
Gottlieb met both Patterson and Baldwin during taxpayer-paid trips to conferences held by the Florida School Boards Association. Citigroup routinely wined and dined school board members at those conferences to curry their favor -- and their votes. She was introduced to Patterson, for instance, at an all-you-can-eat steak and lobster dinner held by Citigroup at The Palm restaurant in Tampa.
"You shake your head and you go, 'What were they thinking?'" said Nova Southeastern University ethics professor Robert Jarvis. "In what universe could they have thought this was appropriate behavior?"
Reports indicate Gottlieb, who is married to a Broward County Judge Ken Gottlieb, knew it was wrong as she and her paramours actively concealed the relationships from the public by using personal email accounts and prepaid phones.
"Baldwin stated he and Gottlieb had a conversation about personal e-mails going through the SBBC server and the fact that those e-mails were public record," investigators wrote. "Gottlieb told Baldwin that if she sent e-mails from her personal e-mail they would not be considered public record and no one could find it. Baldwin and Gottlieb had a discussion the first night of their relationship which entailed the issue of Baldwin being a vendor to the SBBC. Baldwin stated he and Gottlieb were aware of the problems stemming from a public official having a personal relationship with a vendor and the perception that gives the public."
Patterson told investigators they dated for few months before breaking up in September 2007 in part because Gottlieb's campaign manager had told her the relationship would destroy her political career. The following month Gottlieb struck up a relationship with Patterson's colleague, Baldwin, who said carried on the affair with Gottlieb until he learned that he was being subpoenaed in the grand jury investigation last year (Gottlieb was never subpoeanaed). Baldwin said he learned of the investigation in an email while he and Gottlieb were staying together in a Hampton Inn in Tamarac.
Jarvis said he believes an official misconduct case could have been made based on Gottlieb's votes on the Citigroup bonds and the effort to hide it from the public. "At the moment you talk about intentional action to conceal and defraud the public really it's not an ethical matter anymore it's a criminal matter," he said.
In its final report, FDLE explained that it brought no criminal charges because there is no specific law forbidding voting on public matters involving intimate friends.
Jen Gottlieb resigned from the school board last summer, citing family reasons. Ken Gottlieb filed for divorce this past June. Here's the FDLE summary of the Gottlieb case, which the agency titled "Voting Conflicts":
When the investigation was initiated, media outlets reported and provided a series of e-mails from Board member Gottlieb and a vendor conducting business with the SBBC. Ms. Gottlieb at no time reported her relationship with this vendor to the board and continued to cast votes on matters concerning the vendor that came before the board. Interviews and sworn testimony were acquired from two additional vendor employees, who stated that at different times, they each had a personal and intimate relationship with Ms. Gottlieb. These two employees represented a financial institution that advertised and sold bonds to investors that generated the funds the SBBC utilized to construct new schools and facilities. Each employee testified as to being picked up at the airport by Ms. Gottlieb, attending dinners and lunches with Ms. Gottlieb as well as being romantically involved with the former board member. At no time did any seated board member question the perceived impropriety of these relationships nor does the board have a policy that prohibits a board member from voting on matters concerning a vendor they are personally and/or romantically involved with. The Board does not even have a policy requiring the board member to disclose the relationship regardless of how personal the relationship is. State statute does not address disclosure of a personal relationship with a vendor and a subsequent vote in favor of that vendor. Unless the relationship involves a spouse or immediate family member, having a personal relationship and then casting votes thathas a direct impact on the livelihood of the person with which one is having a relationship is not by itself a criminal offense. Shortly after the release of the Grand Jury report, Board member Gottlieb resigned from her Board position.

text: I am posting this for a friend. Over the weekend my friend found their family member on the couch unresponsive. The family member was laying on the couch with their mouth partially open, and was extremely pale and would blink their eyes rapidly but they would not respond so my friend called the medics. The family member has no memory of what happened at all. Could this be a type of seizure?? If so what type? What should my friend do if it happens again?? My friend is terrified it will happen again. If it is not a seizure what else could it be?? Let me know??

By Janet Tinsley, project director, Africa region
On a sunny day in the informal settlement of Kibera in Nairobi, the Vision Mothers group members file into a small courtyard in front of one of their memberís homes for their monthly meeting. The 30 women and one man, all wearing the same cloth wrapped around their waists, heads or shoulders, find seats on benches in the shady areas of the courtyard and open the meeting.
About two years ago, the Nairobi project team introduced the idea of mothers groups to the mothers of the Kibera subproject and asked them to begin forming groups and register with the local government. The project staff intentionally left these responsibilities in the hands of the mothers, insisting that they choose for themselves which group they would join, raise the funds for registration (around $20), and complete the registration process before asking the project for further support.
At the Nairobi project, the mothers group model operates from the basic belief that mothers are capable, resourceful people.
"We realized that whenever we called a parent meeting, it was the mothers who showed up," Peter Ndungo, Nairobi project coordinator, said. "In our culture, the mothers are the ones [who are] most concerned with the well-being of children, so it made the most sense to work with them."
At todayís meeting, the topic for discussion was finding a space to rent for their shoemaking business. Earlier this year, the group started learning to make and sell shoes as a way to add to their group loan fund.
The Vision Mothers came up with the unique idea for the shoemaking business through trial and error. Their original idea was to start a trash removal service in their community, but they soon realized that there were already many other groups doing this.
"We didnít want conflict with the other groups, so we decided to change our business idea," the group chairperson explains.
Shoemaking, a craft that is typically dominated by men in Kenya, is a nontraditional endeavor for the women. Nonetheless, the Vision Mothers saw shoemaking as an opportunity to make good profits and provide a much needed commodity for their community, but CFCA families are only some of the many customers they hope to serve in Kibera.
With the sale of their first batch of shoes, the group made a profit of about $130, and in the future, they hope to use the profits to start a resource and training center that would include a meeting hall and computer training for the members and the community.
Today is International Women's Day! Read (and watch!) more inspiring stories about the women of CFCA:

A hint of spices and a blanket of juicy berries make these waffles a breakfast treat. Leftovers can be frozen and popped into the toaster. The syrup will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to a week.
For the syrup:
To make the syrup, in a saucepan, combine the blueberries, water (if using), lemon juice and zest, honey, 1 tablespoon molasses, and cloves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the berries burst and the juices are slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Frozen berries may take slightly longer to thicken. Set aside and keep warm.
If using sweet potatoes, bring a small saucepan half full of water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes, return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and puree in a food processor or mash with a potato masher until smooth. Set aside. If using pumpkin puree, reserve.
In a small bowl, sift together the flours, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and ginger. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy milk, sweet potato puree, olive oil and 2 tablespoons molasses. Add the flour mixture and stir just until combined.
Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Make sure that the mixing bowl and beaters are spotlessly clean and free of fat. Even a small amount of fat, such as egg yolk or oil, can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly. Once whipped, gently whisk 1/3 of the egg white into the batter to lighten it. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the remaining egg white into the batter, mixing just until incorporated.
Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 225 F. Preheat a waffle iron. Spoon or ladle about 1/2 cup batter into the waffle iron, depending on the size of the iron. Spread evenly and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the batter thickens, thin with a little soy milk. Transfer the waffle to the baking sheet in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 6 waffles. Serve topped with the syrup.

According to the Rajar figures for the third quarter of 2012, Bauer Media's London stations Kiss 100 and Magic 105.4, which broadcast from the BT London Live events in Victoria Park and Hyde Park respectively, achieved strong audiences.
Although the core Absolute Radio station, which also broadcast from Hyde Park, did increase its reach in London, the station's overall reach across the UK declined year on year, which one radio buyer said would have "disappointed" the broadcaster after a strong Q2.
Overall, commercial radio performed okay in a busy quarter where there were lots of demands on people's time. However, a number of buyers highlighted the apparent "plateau" in digital radio growth as an area of particular concern.
Tom Thacker, radio buyer, UM London
"In the week in which we waved our final goodbye to analogue TV in the UK, the Rajar survey of Q3 2012 suggests it will be some time yet before we do the same for radio.
"With over 89% of the population tuning in each week, overall radio listening remains in a healthy position, aided in particular by strong performances from several of the leading commercial stations and networks in this quarter.
"However, the ever so slight decline in overall audience reach during the last 12 months hasn't helped progress on digital platforms. Yet from a solid base of more than 47 million a year ago, a fractional drop of 500,000 since then is clearly not a cause for concern.
"But the knock-on effect is that with a market share of 31.3%, digital growth has plateaued in Q3 2012 – a frustratingly familiar occurrence to those who have been monitoring digital progress closely over recent years."
James Tyrell, deputy head of radio, MPG Media Contacts
"Overall commercial reach remains relatively static this quarter (-0.1%), a positive result given the disruptive Olympic period where television was always going to be at the forefront of coverage. As expected, TalkSport made slight gains with a 3.4% increase (period on period).
"Absolute Radio will be disappointed with the latest results, posting a drop of 12.4% (period on period). This however comes off the back of decent growth over recent Rajars, so it will be interesting to see how they end the year.
"Magic 105.4 has had an extremely successful quarter and can now claim to be the largest-reaching commercial station in London, knocking Capital FM off the top spot.
"Digital radio growth has been increasing rapidly over the last few years, but surprisingly plateaus for the first time with these latest results. Despite an increase (6.3% year on year) of all adults claiming to own a DAB device at home, overall digital share decreased by 0.2%. Listening hours are also down and now stand at 320 million hours (-1.8% period on period) for all digital devices.
Ross Nester, investment account director, Manning Gottlieb OMD
"Overall this is a solid but not spectacular set of results for commercial radio. The overall reach numbers are almost flat compared with the last quarter, however 1.7% is quite a big fall year on year, and worse than the BBC's performance.
"It was a good Rajar for Bauer, especially in London. Magic rose to number one and Kiss 100 also posted 14.6% growth [year on year] to rise to the third-highest station by reach.
"Global Radio's results are more mixed though. Both Capital and Heart have seen year-on-year declines nationally and in London. However, Capital still has the number-one breakfast show in London and Classic FM has grown reach year on year.
"Outside of the big two groups, TalkSport did well to get back over three million reach, but Absolute Radio has failed to hold onto the strong gains it made last quarter and has fallen back below three million for its total network, despite some growth on their digital stations."
Erica Taylor, trading operations director, Starcom Mediavest Group
"Despite a slight decline in overall listening this quarter, commercial radio continues to deliver the numbers with more than 33 million people tuning in for the third quarter in a row.
"Bauer seem to have had a great quarter with a particularly strong performance from Magic and Kiss in London. It seems as though their investment in programming and events has paid off.
"The effect of the Euros and the Olympics has had positive and negative connotations for commercial radio, with some stations fairing better than others. TalkSport has been on the positive end of these results with a 3.4% growth in reach [period on period], with coverage of the Euros and a heightened general interest in sport the likely reason for the additional ears.
"Those who managed to escape the summer of sport seemed to have tuned into Jazz FM. A strong growth of 8.9% in reach [quarter on quarter] has been witnessed and, more impressively, a 40.2% increase in hours.
"Conversely, more mainstream networks such as Heart and Capital have seen slight declines in the last quarter. This may well be down to a change in behaviour, as these audiences would have been more likely to switch from their usual radio listening habits to embrace the early morning Olympic coverage on the BBC."

- Meet the people who make a difference in Boulder County
Stephen Christopher discovered his love for the trumpet in high school.
Growing up, the Boulder native who spent his first year of life in the Hotel Boulderado during World War II, was a talented baseball player. His grandfather, who played in the Red Sox organization, was a big influence.
"I played baseball through high school and discovered that the trumpet was where I wanted to go -- and it broke his heart by telling him that. A few years later, after coming to hear me play, he decided that I was a better trumpet player than I was a baseball player," Christopher said.
Now, a jazz educator at the Center for Musical Arts, Christopher is the 2013 Arts and Entertainment Pacesetter.
After high school, Christopher remained in his hometown and received bachelor's and master's degrees in music education from the University of Colorado -- decisions his mother wholeheartedly supported.
"I told my mother that I was going to be the world's greatest trumpet player, and she said, 'Well, just in case you're not, why don't you get an education degree' -- and I did," Christopher said.
His education has been put to good use over an impressive 42-year career teaching music education in the Boulder Valley School District, where he affectionately earned the nickname of "Mr. C."
After his retirement from BVSD, Christopher accepted a position with the Center for Musical Arts, formerly the Rocky Mountain Center for Musical Arts, where he conducts the all-ages jazz studies program and continues to use his teaching skills to promote the center's "music for all, for life" motto.
Through his work, Christopher has taught and influenced a wide variety of musicians, some continuing in his footsteps as live performers and trumpet players, and some becoming teachers of the craft themselves.
But a classroom isn't the only place people can catch Mr. C playing the trumpet these days.
Christopher has a standing gig every month at the St Julien Hotel, where he performs as a member of the Robinson Quartet. Christopher says he'll continue to play as long as he is able.
"I plan on doing this until I have to take the 'coda.' That's a musical term for the end of the tune," Christopher said.

Wil Birchfield with the Town of Estes Park building department displays one of the tags that will be placed on downtown buildings once they have been inspected. They will be in three colors, green means safe to enter and can open for business. Yellow means can be entereed but not open for business and red means unsafe to enter. (John Cordsen)
Estes Park officials have announced that assessment teams will be visiting downtown businesses this afternoon to determine if the structures are safe to occupy.
Estes Park Chief Building Official Will Birchfield, speaking during an emergency briefing at Town Hall earlier today, said that three rapid assessment teams will be deployed this afternoon along Elkhorn Avenue.
"We're very sensitive to the fact that we're dealing with people's life dreams and their life savings. But, our primary concern right now is public safety," Birchfield said. "We need to let people know when a building is safe to occupy.
"This will be a very rapid assessment."
Birchfield said the teams will place one of three colored placards on each business visited. A green placard means the building is safe to occupy. A yellow placard means it is safe to enter but should not be opened to the public. Personnel will be allowed to retrieve belongings. A red placard means the building or structure is not safe to enter, that it could be structurally unsound, have utility issues or sanitation issues, or both.
Birchfield added that more assessment teams will be put together in coming days as resources become available.
In the meantime, her advised all residents to be aware and diligent.
"If you see things change, smell smells that aren't normal, or hear strange noises, or feel unsafe, please self-evacuate. Don't wait," Birchfield said.
He also said that it would help emergency personnel if residents decide to not occupy their home or building to post a note on the door with information about how they can be contacted.
Other highlights during the briefing:
. . . Estes Park Town Administrator says the National Guard has been asked to come and assist with the recovery.
. . . Residents are warned to stay out of rivers, streams, lakes and ponds because they have been contaminated by sewage.
. . . Residents along Fish Creek no longer need to boil water.
. . . Some residents along Fish Creek are being asked to evacuate. Information about areas that are being asked to evacuate can be found on the town's information line 577-3716.
. . . Visitors are not being allowed into Estes Park for at least a week. Only food, fuel, supply, and emergency vehicles will be allowed into town. Visitors currently in town are being advised to leave so as not to put a strain on resources.
. . . Trail Ridge Road remains open but only for essential personnel.
. . . Colo. Highway 7 may open soon, according to Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith.
. . . Town officials are putting together a plan to accept volunteer help from residents not impacted by the flood.
. . . Donations of cots and bedding are needed. Please call the town's info line 577-3716 first. Do not bring these items to the evacuation center at the Mountain View Bible Fellowship Church unless advised by the town to do so. Restaurants and businesses wishing to donate food should also call 577-3716.
. . . Plans are underway again to open a second shelter at the Estes Park Conference Center.
. . . Estes Park schools will be open Monday but not for classes. School buses will not run. For parents who can get their children to school, the schools will be used as shelters for children while parents take part in the recovery effort. Food will be available at the schools.
. . . Estes Park Medical Center is operational with limited service for urgent and emergency needs to conserve resources, officials say. Plans are being made for additional supplies and staffing.
. . . Updated information about the recovery effort can be found at the Estes Park Visitor's Center, Town Hall, National Park Village Stores, and at Mountain View Bible Fellowship Church.
. . . Airbits is providing free wi-fi at Stanley Village, Appenzell Inn, and Mountain View Bible Fellowship Church evacuation center. Summitview Coffee on Moraine Avenue also has wi-fi.
. . . The American Red Cross Safe and Well website should be used to find someone or post information about your locations
. . .The next town briefing will be 10 a.m. Sunday. It can be viewed at estes.org/videos.

What Blacksmiths Can Teach Us About Teaching
For 16 hours -- my swollen fingers and aching back are both happy it took place spread across two days -- I attended blacksmith classes at the Carroll County Farm Museum's Academy of Traditional Arts.
Led by master blacksmith Bill Clemens, (whose license-plate reads 'Blxsmith'), my classmates and I -- eight guys, mostly sporting beards -- learned the basics of metallurgy, coal firing, hammer-and-anvil technique, and forge welding.
And when I say 'learned', I mean 'LEARNED'.
There were no PowerPoints. No lectures. There were no required textbooks and there weren't any tests.
Just learning.
Blacksmith Bill would demo a technique slowly, and then once again at full speed. And then it was our turn. We went off to our forges and banged stuff out.
In a way, it reminded me of the Aikido classes I took sometime ago. In both cases, technique is modeled by a teacher and then learned and reinforced through actual practice. The sensei doesn't grade your understanding of Aikido by whether or not you can pass a multiple choice test; she assesses your understanding by judging whether or not you have figured out how to roll safely on a mat after having been thrown over the shoulder of a burly classmate. She assesses whether you've learned how to defend yourself from a sword attack by seeing if you keep getting hit by a sword or not.
Likewise, in blacksmithing, you demonstrate your understanding of pig tail scrolls and tab hooks by banging out pig tail scrolls and tab hooks. You learn which part of a two-and-a-half foot rod of mild steel is safe to touch by burning your fingers. You learn how to bring a shaft of glowing hot steel to a point by messing up over and over and over again until you get it right.
And once you do get it right you feel SO GOOD about yourself. And you want to do it again and you want to show everyone what you did and you want to learn more.
I'm going back in a few weeks to take the intermediate class. And then it's on to knife-making. My wife isn't crazy about the fact that I've got burns on six fingers and the slash of a scar above my elbow where a hot shard of steel knicked me, but she was nonetheless supportive of my wanting to build a brick forge in the backyard.
I learned a lot this weekend, and more than anything I learned about what really motivates folks: it's stuff we "can't" do, but nonetheless figure out how to do. And for eight guys who sweat and labored over anvils for a weekend in January, we figured out that you learn by doing and do by learning.

The new book, Rethinking Education in the Age of Technology, by Collins & Halverson (http://bit.ly/6hiYWi) talks a lot about the side-by-side learning that used to occur pre-industrialization on the farm and/or in an apprenticeship. Sounds like you got a good dose of that. Fun (and powerful)!ReplyDelete
Sounds like you had a great experience with this blacksmithing and sounds like a lot of fun. I like how the blacksmith worked along his students and slowly worked with them. Then put it all in action and then let you as the student actually take charge. As a physical education major working hands on like this is going to be exactly how my class will work.ReplyDelete
Especially when I am teaching a skill to the elementary students to make sure the get the fundamentals first. I really like the Teachpaperless principle not just going back to blacksmithing but also in our classrooms of today as we are technological advancing on a daily basis.
-Ryan Heaton
As a Tech Ed teacher, I was "trained" in some of the old industrial arts like woodwork and metalsmithing, even though all I wanted to do was teach computers. But what I learned was the power of the demonstration, how to manage a lab, and be OK with organized chaos. I find myself going back to these old industrial arts now more than ever in my free time as well. To ability to create and focus on one thing - leaving everything else aside is the best therapy I could ever wish for.ReplyDelete
Great stuff. Just read Ivan Illich, DeSchooling Society. Maybe if every MD in America trained one apprentice we might solve the health care issue. Just a thought!ReplyDelete

SE opened the season with a 5-3 road win over Northwood in Dallas, Texas.
In the win, the Storm posted four hits, with Mark Frank driving in a pair of runs, while Ryanj Salter and Aaron Chalk each added an RBI.
The pitching staff had a solid outing, with Brandon Marris tossing 4.0 innings in the start and allowing a run on just two hits before handing the ball to Eddie Cervantes.
Cervantes picked up the win in relief after tossing 3.0 innings and allowing two runs, one earned, on four hits.
Levi Lewis would come on to close out the contest with a 2.0 inning save in which he struck out three of the six batters he faced.
Marris and Cervantes each posted three K's as well.
LU is off to a 3-5 start after sweeping Rust College in the last weekend of January in a three-game series before falling into a five-game skid against Stillman and Mobile.
They are led by John Nicholson at the plate who has posted a .542 average in 24 at bats with 11 RBI.
Three different pitchers have each registered a win for the club, while Daniel Posway leads the team with 12 strikeouts.
TAMUK is off to a 3-1 start to the season which includes wins over Central Missouri, Arkansas-Monticello and Abilene Christian.
The Javelinas are led by a trio of hitters over .400 that is paced by Taylor Taska at .474 with a home run and four RBI.
The TAMUK pitching staff is led by Dallas Ponder who is 1-0 while surrendering a run on two hits in 6.0 innings of work.

Phone: 252-328-6851
The daily schedule includes private lessons (small master classes) and group repertory classes for all levels from book 1 through advanced, arranged according to level and age. The program is designed with the understanding that parents will be involved, as they are at home, with lessons, practice, and the general supervision of their children.
A typical day at the Suzuki Institute may begin as early as 8:00 a.m. may and include:
Enrollment is open to students studying Suzuki violin, viola, or cello literature with a teacher who has done Suzuki teacher training.
Each student is asked to play a polished piece as a solo at the first meeting of the master class, an opportunity for the teacher and student to get acquainted musically. No matter what the level of current study, the student should select a piece from the repertory that he or she has mastered.
Institute Faculty members may recommend students for participation in the afternoon recital program. These students have the opportunity to rehearse with a professional accompanist before performing on the institute recitals.
Master Class (A Class) - This is a group of 3 or 4 students and 1 teacher. The teacher will usually take part of each class to work individually with each student. All students are similar in age and level.
Technique Class (B Class) - This is a group of approximately 16 students and 1 teacher. All of the students are playing repertoire within a few pieces of each other and will cover specific technical issues common to all students at this level.
Repertory Group (C Class) - This is a large group of students and 1 teacher. This is usually all of the students studying in the same Suzuki book.
Orchestra - All students age 7 and older are assigned to an orchestra. Orchestras concentrate on music reading skills and orchestral techniques. The North Carolina Suzuki Institute orchestras are organized primarily by age.
Movement Class - All students age 6 and younger are assigned to a Movement or Dalcroze class. These classes focus on rhythmic movement and general music knowledge.
Advanced Repertory Class - The institute has repertory classes for the most advanced students who have progressed to a point they wish to study specific pieces beyond the Suzuki repertory. The repertoire selected for 2019 is:
Violin: Mozart: Concerto No. 3 in G Major, 1st movement
Chamber Music - Students who are 13 and older or in Book 6 and above can choose to participate in a string quartet or other chamber music ensemble coached by NCSI faculty. These groups are organized according to age and repertoire level.
Fiddling - This class is geared toward students who want to experience the world of Bluegrass fiddling. Students will learn fiddle tunes, harmonies, improvising tricks, bowings, and learning how to play backup, as well as many other stylistic elements of fiddling. The ability to read music will be helpful in this class but is not required. Learn your instrument in a special, fun exciting way and join us for inspiring sessions to increase the variety of styles in which you play.
Viola for Violinists - A violinist's introduction to playing the viola, led by Gail Acosta.
The Pre-Twinkle Day Camp is designed for four and five year old beginners who may not be ready for the rigors of a full week of the institute. This mini-institute will include group repertoire classes and a movement class.
There are several traditional and extended stay hotels in Greenville. All are within easy driving distance of the ECU campus and the School of Music.

To help train successful Suzuki teachers, the Suzuki Association of the Americas (SAA) has set up short term teacher development courses. Teachers interested in studying the Suzuki philosophy, pedagogy and other aspects of the method enroll in courses corresponding to each book.
This teacher development course is approved by and follows the format of the SAA Teacher Development Program. Registration for this Teacher Development Course is in either one of two categories: Participant or Auditor.
The short-term Teacher Training Courses are presented in accordance with SAA guidelines.
Information regarding the
Teacher Development Program is available from the SAA.
It is recommended that in addition to being prepared for the repertoire, the teacher participant should be conversant with the ideas presented in Suzuki's book Nurtured by Love.
All participants will be performing in class. All participants are expected to bring their own instruments. It is also recommended that participants bring a tape recorder and a notebook to all sessions. Attendance is required 100% of class time in order to register a course with the Suzuki Association of the Americas.
Auditors need to register in a timely fashion so a space may be reserved in the class. Auditor status is appropriate when a teacher is unable to meet the course's attendance, observation, or audition requirements. The auditor may play in class only with the permission of the instructor and may not register the course with the Suzuki Association of the Americas. Auditors may observe in a registered teacher training class, as well as student activities, concerts, and performances. The tuition fee is the same for both participants and auditors.

Participants staying on campus will be housed in "College Hill Suites." This dormitory was built in 2006 and is the newest facility on campus. Families will find the suite format and the convenience to dinging and the School of Music ideal.
All linens will be provided (sheets, pillow, blanket, towel). Towels can be exchanged for a $1 fee. Other than that, there are some other items that might be nice:
Participants staying on campus will be issued a meal card for use in
Todd Dining Hall. This dining hall is next door to College Hill Suites. This is NOT your ordinary college cafeteria. More like a food court at your local mall, there are choices for everyone from kids to vegetarians.
You don't have to be staying in the dormitory to have a meal plan. Plans can be purchased separately ($175 for adults and children 10 and over. $125 for children 10 and under). Meals in Todd can also be purchased ala carte if you wish to grab a quick bite. The dining hall takes cash, Visa and Mastercard.
There's a local deli (Mike's Deli) within walking distance of the School of Music. Arby's, McDonald's and Subway are just down the street also. They're a little too far to walk though (especially in July!).
It is the policy of the institute not to refund applications fees. All other fees CAN be refunded in full provided notice of cancellation and request for refund is received in writing. Refunds are not issued for late arrivals, early departures, or missed meals. Please contact the Chris Ulffers, managing director.
