Jameis Winston joins another exclusive club
Jameis Winston didn't have to do much in Florida State's baseball opener Friday night, but the fact that he played was notable.
Winston became the first Heisman Trophy winner in 28 years to hit the diamond, and the sixth overall. Bo Jackson (Auburn) was the last one.

A quick rundown of Winston's 2014 diamond debut (H/T Rivals.com):
After receiving a big ovation from the home fans, he walked as pinch hitter in the eighth inning, and later came around to score. He played the ninth inning in left field. as the Seminoles finished a 13-2 rout of Niagara.

Winston also warmed up in the bullpen (he's slated to be the Seminoles' closer) but wasn't needed. FSU coach Mike Martin told reporters that Winston will pitch in Saturday's game. Winston will not be with the team Sunday as he accepts the Davey O'Brien Award given to the nation's top collegiate quarterback.
Last week, Winston said his desire to play baseball the next two years will help keep him from entering the NFL Draft after the 2014 season. The Texas Rangers drafted Winston in the 15th round out of high school in 2012.
The connection between Winston and Jackson has been strong for a long time. Both are from Bessemer, Ala., and Winston grew up using the former Auburn star as an incentive to realize his two-sport dream. Jackson, 51, is the only athlete to play in a Major League Baseball All-Star Game and the NFL Pro Bowl.
Winston also wouldn't mind following in the footsteps of another two-sport Florida State star — Deion Sanders. The former Seminoles defensive back is the only player to play in both the Super Bowl and the World Series.
"Being from Bessemer, all you heard about was Bo. Bo this, Bo that. Obviously, you had Deion (Sanders) and people like that," Winston told The Associated Press, adding that he also followed Brian Jordan's career, another two-sport star who played major league baseball and in the NFL . "That also influenced me because people telling me what I need to do and I'm going to have to make a decision, and I'm just like, 'Hey, they're doing it ... so why can't I do it?'
"That's how I always looked at it when I was a little kid. If somebody else is going to do something, you're not (about to) tell me I can't do it. ... It's like, I'm not even worried about what your opinion is. I'm worried about what my goals are and what I'm trying to do in life."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

ED-E and I were inseparable when I first played Fallout: New Vegas. Well, except for all those times that the demands of the plot separated us. But no matter: his perks, cheerfully sarcastic beeping, and killer laser were great company on an endless trek through the Mojave Wasteland.
This real-life ED-E, sent to Geekologie by their reader Will Brown, would look perfect hovering along behind my shoulder. He'd be perfect for zapping people that cut in line, or letting me know if there were enemies in the road ahead. Alas, despite the beautiful workmanship, the ability to fly is not included.
Scroll down for a few more photos showcasing the making-of process, as well as a couple of close-ups.

DANBURY, Conn. – With a combined 31 hits and 26 runs baseball (13-9, 2-2 Little East) notched their first Little East Conference sweep of the 2012 season as they handed Western Connecticut State University (9-14, 0-4 Little East) a 16-10 loss in game one and a 14-4 loss in seven innings in game two Saturday afternoon at Westside Field.
On top of their dominating performances at the plate, the Beacons bullpen also stepped in a huge way as they held the Colonials to just 18 hits in the doubleheader. In game one Daniel Heefner (Tracy, Calif.) went 5 2/3 innings and allowed four runs on eight hits, while also striking out two. After getting the final out of the sixth and two in the seventh, the Beacons turned to closer Jeff Thomas (Redwood City, Calif.). The junior righty went the final 2 1/3 innings and did not allow a hit and posted three strikeouts as well.
The nightcap saw Lucas Ilges (Gloucester, Mass.) neutralize the Colonials bats as he scattered seven hits while also fanning four in six complete innings of work. With the 10-run mercy rule in effect in game-two the Beacons turned to Will Barrack (Lancaster, Va.), who fresh off of his strong showing from earlier this week, retired the final three batters he faced in order in the bottom half of the seventh. Barrack struck out one of the three batters sealing the Beacons conference sweep.
In total six different players recorded two or more hits in game one. Designated hitter Wilberto Sanjuro (Boston, Mass.) had perhaps one of the best games of his career as he went 2-for-4 with three RBI and three runs scored. Left fielder Nick Grassetti (Agawam, Mass.) also put together one of his best showings in the batter's box as he finished the day 3-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored. Sophomore Jamill Moquette (Boston, Mass.) was another key hitter for UMass as he crushed his first home run of the year as well as picking up another double in his 4-for-9 afternoon which included two RBI and five runs scored.
Infielder Collin Keefer (Charlotte, N.C.) continued to produce at the plate finishing game one with two hits, one of which was a double, with three RBI and a run scored. In total the Beacons put-up four doubles in the opener, and continued their aggressive base-running as they stole six bases.
Game one got off to a great start for the Beacons as they tacked on six-runs in the first inning. Mark McCormack (Shelton, Conn.) in his first at-bat crushed a double to right center to put runners on second and third. A passed ball and two hit by pitches would give the Beacons the early momentum and would advance runners into scoring position. Sanjuro would earn the game's first RBI after being walked. Mike Mattei's (Spencer, Mass.) single to left field would drive in a pair of runs, and a Grassetti single to center would score two more giving the Beacons the huge lead.
Western Connecticut did manage to get a pair of runs in the bottom half of the opening inning, but that did not slow down UMass. They would get another run in the second to push their lead back to five. Western would manage just one more run in the third and another in sixth, while UMass was able to get three more runs across to make it 10-4 going into the seventh.
In the top half of the seventh UMass saw Keefer drive in the team's 11th run of the afternoon on an RBI single to right field. Even with the 11-4 lead, the Colonials quickly found themselves back in the game as they put-up six runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning to make it just a one-run ball game.
That quick shift in momentum did not last however, as UMass put-up a five-spot in the top of the eighth to secure their first conference win of the season.
In the nightcap it was all UMass from start to finish as they scored seven runs, while hold Western Connecticut to just two in the first three innings of the game. The Beacons would take full advantage of an error filled second inning to jump out to another commanding leading.
The fourth inning would be the only inning in which UMass would not add a run to the scoreboard. An RBI double from Grassetti in the fifth made it 8-2 in favor of UMass. Western Connecticut did manage their third run of the day in the bottom half of that inning, but the game was sealed in the sixth as the Beacons unloaded five more runs with another in the seventh to secure the 14-4 victory. The Colonials got their final run of the day in the sixth.
Matt Consiglio (Southbury, Conn.) led the nightcap with a 3-for-4 showing which also included three RBI and two runs scored. Grassetti went 2-for-3 with three RBI and a run scored, and Keefer finished 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored.
Baseball returns to action on Tuesday when they travel to the University of Southern Maine for a 3:30 p.m. Little East Conference game.

Most people recognize domestic violence for what it is: an epidemic with broad, often fatal, consequences.
But almost as many – a number that unfortunately includes domestic victims — don't make the undeniable connection between spouse abuse and access to handguns.
Studies show that half of domestic homicides are firearm-related, and on average, for three-quarters of the women killed, it was an intimate partner who pulled the trigger.
Research suggests that many victims of domestic violence weren't even aware of the guns kept in their homes. A study from the University of North Carolina found that 80 percent of women living in families, including small children, reported that ownership, care, and storage of guns in the home was the sole responsibility of their male partners.
Meanwhile, recent moves to ease regulations that encourage gun safety in the home threaten much of the progress we've made in curbing domestic violence.
In November, the nation's gun lobby attempted to overturn federal legislation that keeps firearms out of the hands of people convicted of domestic violence. And in North Carolina, Sen. Doug Berger introduced a measure to repeal the Sheriff's permit required to own a handgun in the state. These permits — reviewed by local sheriffs– are among the strongest tools in preventing spouse abusers from legally owning guns.
Today is the beginning of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, appropriately highlighted by educational forums, news stories and vigils of remembrance.
It was with heartbreaking results that domestic violence once was shrugged off as a private matter best handled among families. It would be just as tragic not to recognize the effects of decisions that remove restrictions on those who should not be permitted to own firearms and that discourage safe gun storage.

Well... I'm *almost* ready to come out of my 2 month hiatus. I feel like life really threw us for a loop the last several months. In a nutshell... here's what I've been up to in my non-blogging life:
- HOMESCHOOLING: Knee deep in trying to figure out this homeschooling business. Few things are quite as humbling as starting something new and feeling like you have no idea what you're doing. :P Despite my 10 years of experience teaching in the public schools, little of it prepared me for how to do it at home. Through a series of trial and many errors, I feel like we're coming around the bend and *most* of my days are enjoyable and manageable. I've even gotten back to reading blogs, being consistent about my bible studies and catching up on a few shows from time to time. :)
- OH BABY! In November, we found out that we are expecting our 4th child in June! We always left the door open for God, with little to no expectation. Needlesstosay, He had a clear plan and after a couple weeks of shock, and several months later, we are now excited to welcome a baby brother into our brood of 3. (I'll post a baby bump photo when I get around to it. Who has the time?)
I've been mentally collecting ideas of new things that I'd love to write about and share with you. Many of them of course include home decorating ideas and ways to help us all live more simply and beautifully, but I'd also love to share more about the way God is moving in our lives and the things He has impressed upon me about life and parenthood.
I hope to get back into the regular rhythm of blogging and the first step of anything is always the hardest... so here we go again. Back in the saddle! :) Thanks for your patience.

Truck YeahThe trucks are good!
I mean, I don't think there's any way BMW officially sanctioned two E30 coupes to be chopped into targa topped pickups, but then again 1984 was a wild time and cocaine is a hell of a drug.
According to the ad the car's a 1984 323i with one hell of a hood painting, offered by some dude near Chicago at $17,000. He makes no mention of said decoration or the car's history, yet lists almost every other aspect of the vehicle with lines like "Number of Cylinders: 6 Serially Arranged." Listed twice is "Engine: Otto Combustion."
The conversion actually looks reasonably tidy, but I can't wait to hear what you have to say about this thing.
Here's a screen grab, if and when the ad disappears:

On June 24, 2010, I woke up at 4 a.m. I grabbed some coffee, got into my car with my roommates, and went to the Cambridgeside Galleria mall to stand in a ridiculously long line. The goal: to get an Apple iPhone 4. It was the latest and greatest thing, and we all had to have it.
A very similar dynamic is happening right now in the World of Warcraft. There are a slew of new-for-patch-4.2 items currently available on the auction house. New BOE gear from Firelands. New tailoring and leatherworking patterns. New blacksmithing plans. Living Embers. New PVP gear. They're all -- at least in theory -- high-demand items. After all, given players' insatiable lust for better gear, customers should be lining up around the (virtual) block to be buying all this stuff.
But on many servers, they're not. The demand is clearly there, but markets are struggling to function.
What happened? Why did the market break? What are players doing wrong? And how exactly are you supposed to play the market with these new-for-4.2 items?

CakeSpy Note: This is a sweet dispatch from Cake Gumshoe Margot L.!
Recently I traveled to Sylvester's, in Northampton, MA.
I had their Strawberry Chocolate Chip Waffle, which was awesome! The waffle was one of their many daily specials - others included pear-walnut bread french toast. In previous visits I've also had their blueberry pancakes and have sampled a chocolate milkshake, one of their many specialty drinks.
Sylvester's is located in the Pioneer Valley, home to the Five College Consortium, which consists of Smith College, Mount Holyoke College, Amherst College, Hampshire College, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Sylvester's extensive list of coffee and specialty crafted drinks even includes a drink named for each one of the five schools! My favorite is the "Smithie's Last Resort" which involves two shots of espresso.
Sylvester's is named for former building owner Sylvester Graham, the inventor of the Graham Cracker. It's a popular restaurant, especially on weekends for brunch, which can mean a long wait - but it's always worth it! I've eaten breakfast, brunch, and lunch at Sylvester's and have yet to find anything on the menu that I don't like!

DFA Reaches Settlement in Southeast Lawsuit
Today, Dairy Farmers of America's Board of Directors and management announced the Cooperative has reached a settlement agreement in the class action lawsuit against DFA in the southeastern United States. Trial for the suit was scheduled to begin this month.
DFA makes no admission of wrongdoing in this settlement. Under the terms of the settlement, filed yesterday with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, DFA will pay $140 million to the plaintiff class. An additional, refundable $9.3 million per year for two years will be placed in a fund to incentivize stronger Class I utilization rates in Federal Orders 5 and 7.
Also included in the agreement are remedial elements regarding reporting, accounting and communication of certain business information and functions. Many of these components are consistent with new policies and procedures DFA management voluntarily developed and implemented previously to emphasize a culture of openness and transparency within the Cooperative.
"Our Board and management team have worked diligently to put certain old issues behind us," said Rick Smith, president and chief executive officer. "This outcome positions DFA to fulfill a commitment to our members to resolve pending litigation, to remove a source of distraction for our leadership and to avoid additional legal fees."
The payment of the settlement will not affect the Cooperative's day-to-day operations or its ability to market members' milk or pay them a competitive price for that milk. Member milk checks and the member equity program will not be impacted.
"The Cooperative remains healthy and poised for a bright future," Smith said. "We continue to develop new member programs and invest in plants and new products. We also continue to seek out new opportunities and innovative ways to increase value to our dairy farmer owners."

Seven gymnasts to compete for finals bids at nationals
April 2, 2014 | Chattanooga, Tenn.
Liberty University's gymnastics team is sending seven athletes to the National Association of Intercollegiate Gymnastic Club Championships, where they will compete against close to 1,000 gymnasts, Thursday through Saturday at the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Civic Center.
"We've got an exciting week ahead of us," said Liberty third-year Head Coach Rachel Steele, who placed first on the balance beam at the 2010 NAIGC National Championships in Texas.
Liberty is one of 77 women's teams and one of 66 men's teams in the competitive division. There are an additional 21 teams that will compete in the open division, new to the event this year.
The Lady Flames must be ready to roll in Thursday's first session, starting at 8:40 a.m., where they will compete with University of Denver, Kent State University, Ohio University, Tarrant College, the University of Texas, the University of Texas at Dallas, and Texas A&M University's A and B teams.
There are six different sections and only the top team from each — as well as two individuals on every event and in the All-Around — qualify for Saturday afternoon's finals.
Liberty will look to improve on last season's record-high 13th-place team finish, though it will have a difficult time advancing out of its nine-team section.
"It is a pretty challenging group, competing against a couple schools from Texas who have done well in the past," Steele said. "I'm hoping for the best. We can put up a pretty good fight. If we wouldn't make team finals, we should have girls qualify for individual events."
Liberty's top three individuals, who will each compete in all four events in the All-Around, are junior Alyssa Frost (who's strongest on uneven bars), sophomore Alexander Wescott (who's strength is in the floor exercise), and freshman Jessie Hoague (who's best on the balance beam).
"Frost and Westcott are going to put up a good fight to qualify for all-around competition," Steele said, noting each team's top four scores count in each event. "I'm expecting those three girls will have the top three in all four events."
Sophomore Constance McNair and juniors Jennifer Schools and Ashley Ford round out the women's team with McNair and School's strength on the floor and Ford's on the balance beam.
First-year graduate student Jonathan Baldwin, the Flames' sole male competitor, also will compete in an opening session, Thursday at 8:45 a.m., against gymnasts from James Madison University, Kennesaw State, Kent State, Miami University, Ohio State University, Oregon State University, SUNY Brockport, Texas A&M, University of Georgia, University of North Carolina, UNC Wilmington, the University of Oklahoma, and the University of Texas at Dallas.
"It's going to be very difficult for Jonathan because the Texas teams have incredible competitors, especially on the guys side," Steele said. "If he has a good day like he's capable of doing, he should do well."
Though his strengths are in the floor exercise, parallel bars, and vault, Baldwin will compete in all six of the men's events, making him eligible for the All-Around finals.
"In three of the six events (the pommel horse, high bar, and rings) he hasn't been able to practice much, but he's going to go for it," Steele said.

Now Pitching For Coors Light: Pedro Martinez
By Barry Janoff, Executive Editor
March 15, 2011: Having lost its NFL official beer sponsor status after the 2010 season, Coors Light is transitioning its five-plus-year-old "Coaches" campaign from featuring faux press conferences with former NFL coaches to using players and coaches from other sports.
In what might become the second most memorable press conference of his career, former MLB pitcher Pedro Martinez stars in the first spot of the new campaign. As per the "Coaches" formula, he is seen at a podium answering questions during what appears to be a real press conference from his playing days. However, interspersed with that are shots from the brand's quartet of fake reporters/beer meisters, who pepper Martinez with questions about Coors Light.
In the 30-second spot, Martinez, whose career spanned from 1992-2009, is standing at a microphone and wearing a baseball cap and warm-up jacket that bear the logo of the Coors Light Rocky Mountains. "How about a Coors Light?" asks one of the Coors Light guys. "I hope I can reach back and pull one out." Martinez answers to some other real question. "You want one?" the Coors Light guy responds, holding up a can. "I'll pull one out for you." To which Martinez replies, "Muchas gracias."
After a voiceover plug for the beer, a second Coors Light guy asks, "Pedro, how come you never come over to our place for a Coors Light?" To which Martinez responds, "There's no space." To which the Coors Light guy offers, "There's plenty of space." "There's nothing to do," responds Martinez. "Actually, that's pretty true," concedes a third Coors Light guy.
Lead agency is DraftFCB, Chicago. The spot will run during sports programming on network and cable.
Despite his illustrious career, which included eight All-Star Game appearances, three Cy Young awards and a World Series championship with the 2004 Boston Red Sox, Martinez is also remembered for a 2004 press conference. After an intense late-season loss to the New York Yankees, he remarked about the Yankees, "They beat me. They're that good right now. They're that hot. I just tip my hat and call the Yankees my daddy." Yankees' fans subsequently chanted, "Who's your daddy?" whenever Martinez returned to pitch at Yankee Stadium, including the 2009 World Series as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies.
Fans and others will also recall a brawl between the Red Sox and Yankees in 2003 when 72-year-old Yankees' bench coach Don Zimmer ran toward Martinez and was thrown to the ground by the pitcher. Martinez also pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Montreal Expos and New York Mets, finishing with a record of 219-100.
In 2010, Anheuser-Busch signed a deal for its Bud Light brand to replace Coors Light as the NFL's official beer sponsor beginning with the 2011 season. Coors had been an NFL sponsor since 2002. Anheuser-Busch was an NFL sponsor from 1988-2001, although it shared the category during part of that time with Miller Brewing.
Coaches and players who appear in beer commercials cannot be on active rosters, so "Coaches" has been populated by such ex-NFL coaches as Dennis Green, Jim Mora, Mike Ditka, Bill Parcells, Bill Walsh, Herm Edwards, Brian Billick and Dick Vermeil.
"I hope I can reach back and pull one out." Martinez answers to some other real question. "You want one?" the Coors Light guy says. "I'll pull one out for you."
Coors Light parent company MillerCoors in February signed a seven-year deal with the NHL to become a corporate sponsor, effective July 1, so the morphing campaign could potentially include retired NHL coaches and players. Coors Light also has an alliance with Nascar and close ties with MLB, including naming rights at Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies. Those venues are filled with retired coaches, players and drivers aching for stardom.
The Coors family of brands in Golden, Colo., marketed by MillerCoors, a joint venture between SABMiller and the Molson Coors Brewing Co.

Friday evening's duo recital of Yolanda Kondonassis on harp and Jason Vieaux on guitar at the University at Buffalo's Lippes Concert Hall felt like an auspicious beginning of sorts – even for such polished and top-tier professionals.
Both musicians have carved out their respective niches by showcasing their instruments' standard repertoire while forging the blueprints for prospective concert programming for guitar and harp. That kind of dedicated investment was more than evident as an eager and attentive audience witnessed what was only Kondonassis and Vieaux's second tandem concert – a fact that is startling, given the pair's chemistry.
Though each musician performed a solo showpiece – Vieaux interpreted "Sevilla" by Isaac Albeniz, and Kondonassis played "Chanson dans la nuit" – the program was designed to demonstrate just how compatible are the sounds of the two stringed instruments.
Their diverse expressive capabilities and intimate sonorities suggest that they are interchangeable parts of one whole, perhaps best exemplified by the instantly engaging "Suite Magica" by Maximo Diego Pujol. As the "Preludio" began with a sleepy waltz rhythm, Vieaux clearly was linked in spirit to his guitar, as each phrase breathed with a natural musicality. Later on during the "Tango," Kondonassis laid the groundwork with mobile bass ostinati and lush, floating chords that lent added color to the guitar melodies. The fourth and final movement, "Candombe," projected a more folklike aesthetic, with intense rhythmic interplay between the duo that was reminiscent of bluegrass music.
The magic of the musical partnership continued with Alan Hovhaness' Sonata for Harp and Guitar (subtitled "Spirit of Trees"). The first movement's rubato section – literally meaning "robbed time" – felt like the very suspension of time altogether. It was the mystical effect of one great intangible apparent throughout the program: the intuitive synchronicity of Kondonassis and Vieaux.
Later in the piece, the performers expertly delivered a circular phrase as dizzying as it was entrancing. In it, Hovhaness enhanced the unity of guitar and harp by blurring the distinctions between them altogether. It was difficult to hear where one instrument ended and the other began. With the obvious technical prowess of both artists, it was easy to get caught watching earnestly. But in truth, the music was best experienced with eyes closed.
The evening's biggest curiosity – a world premiere called "Knock on Wood" by composer Keith Fitch – was where the concert hit a snag. A more expansive exploration of the sounds capable on both instruments, "Knock On Wood" featured muted notes, harmonics and the use of other extended techniques. Abbreviated melodies quickly gave way to disjointed harmonies and bold rhythmic gestures. And while abstracting a phrase in this way and transferring the bulk of the musical meaning more prominently to the rhythm can be rewarding, the work somehow felt more like academic demonstration than organic musical expression.
All in all, however, the recital served as prelude to what will undoubtedly be a profound and fruitful collaboration by harpist and guitarist.

Rodon has all the makings of top pick in 2014 Draft
Carlos Rodon has been "the guy" atop the 2014 First-Year Player Draft class for some time now.
It might actually date back to before the lefty threw a pitch for North Carolina State Wolfpack. Rodon was a pretty well thought of high school prospect in North Carolina, one whom the Brewers had the presence of mind to take in the 16th round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. They made a run at signing Rodon, but he opted to head to college instead.
Carlos Rodon has been "the guy" atop the 2014 First-Year Player Draft class for some time now.
It might actually date back to before the lefty threw a pitch for North Carolina State Wolfpack. Rodon was a pretty well thought of high school prospect in North Carolina, one whom the Brewers had the presence of mind to take in the 16th round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. They made a run at signing Rodon, but he opted to head to college instead.
"It goes back to the point when the Brewers didn't sign him out of high school," one scouting director said. "He made the jump and hasn't quit yet. He hasn't done anything to not warrant consideration up at the top of the Draft."
MLB.com's No. 1 Draft prospect for 2014, Rodon has spent his first two years of college ball building a very strong case to be the No. 1 pick in June, a selection once again held by the Houston Astros. Rodon, having just finished his fall work in preparation for his very important junior campaign, knows his name is out there on this list and others, but he tries to not let it affect him too much.
"You see it, but the best thing to do is to overlook it, to keep on working hard," Rodon said. "It's motivation to try and stay at the top, but I try not to look at it. It's just a ranking, and you don't know what's going to happen until the Draft."
If people weren't on the Rodon Watch right after Milwaukee didn't sign him, they certainly jumped aboard after his freshman season. Rodon was one of the best college pitchers in the nation in 2012, and he was named a Golden Spikes Award finalist -- with Mark Appel and winner Mike Zunino -- after going 9-0 with a 1.57 ERA and striking out 135 in 114 2/3 innings.
It was hard to imagine what Rodon could possibly do for an encore. Statistically, he couldn't possibly duplicate his freshman year, but he was still pretty darn good, finishing 10-3 as a sophomore, with a 2.99 ERA and 184 strikeouts in 132 1/3 innings. Building on that in 2014 could put Rodon on a very short list of the greatest collegiate pitchers, but just like he did after his stellar freshman season, he's not trying to one up himself.
"Last year was last year," Rodon said about his attitude heading into his sophomore year. "Now it's the same thing. It's going to be a whole new year. Anything can happen. I could go 0-12, I could go 12-0. You have to put the good and bad behind you."
One of the keys to Rodon's development has been the time he's spent with USA Baseball for the past two summers. As much as Rodon credits the N.C. State coaching staff, especially assistant head coach Tom Holliday (Matt's father), getting feedback and insight from other coaches has helped him become a much more complete pitcher.
"It helps to get out there in the summer," said Rodon, who has allowed just three earned runs over 36 innings (0.75 ERA) while striking out 42 for Team USA over the past two summers. "It's different working with different coaches."
Case in point -- and this should send shudders up the spines of ACC hitters -- Rodon spent this last summer working with Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco on his changeup. It certainly didn't seem to hurt his results any -- the lefty didn't allow a run in 17 innings of work.
"He let me throw it whenever I wanted," Rodon said. "It helped me get a feel for it. I'm excited to add that to the arsenal this spring. I didn't think it would happen this way, that fast. Obviously, I've been working on it for a while, but had a big breakthrough this summer. It should be factor."
Rodon will add that to a fastball in the upper-90s and a killer slider. Those two pitches alone had him atop nearly every Draft board. Add in a third outstanding option and it becomes an even bigger no-brainer to have Rodon No. 1 on any current ranking.
"He has a proven track record, with continued success and continued development," one national scout said. "He's a left-handed pitcher that is physical with three plus pitches, including a fastball that reaches 97 mph. He's dominated competition since he was a freshman at N.C. State and has had success playing against the best competition in the country."
Rodon is hoping he gets to face even more of that competition in 2014. He and his N.C. State teammates made it to the College World Series last year, but after Rodon pitched the Wolfpack to an 8-1 win in the opener against North Carolina, they lost two straight to get bounced from the tournament. Keeping an eye on going further will certainly help Rodon keep from getting too Draft-focused.
So will teammate Trea Turner. The leadoff hitter and shortstop is also a top prospect, also a potential choice in the top half of the first round. The two N.C. State teammates know they are going through the same process and will help each other, and the team, stay focused on postseason play instead of the heightened Draft-related attention.
"It's great to have Trea on the same path; he's my roommate," Rodon said. "It makes it a lot easier. You don't want to the only guy they're talking about. We're worried about getting our team back to Omaha. We're worried about the present."

Tradition and hard work: Why UW men's crew remains one of nation's top powers
Coach Michael Callahan leads the top-ranked Washington men's crew against Great Britain in Saturday's 28th Windermere Cup along Montlake Cut.
Seattle Times columnist
28th Windermere Cup
When: Saturday
Where: Montlake Cut in Seattle
Racing: Starts at 10:20 a.m. The women's Windermere Cup race is at 11:35 a.m., followed by the men's race.
Varsity eights: UW vs. Great Britain
Boat parade: Begins at noon.
Note: Montlake Bridge will be closed from 9:20 a.m. to 3 p.m.
While much of Seattle slept Tuesday morning, three Husky crew boats darted through the Montlake Cut, propelled by strapping young men in constant pursuit of the nuance that will make them go just a fraction faster.
From a trailing motorboat, coach Michael Callahan watched intently — but not so intently that he didn't notice, and marvel at, a blue heron near the shore. More than perhaps any sport, crew blends the aesthetic and the athletic, and when it all comes together in a blur of synchronicity and strength, it is a marvel.
"It almost feels like you're flying when it's going right,'' Callahan mused later. "It feels like you're gliding on water."
But he's quick to add that this elusive yet zealously sought-after sensation is not magical, some gift bestowed by the rowing gods. No, it comes from endless hours of hard work — at times torturous, truth be told — that is the crux of the sport.
"There's fun in the work,'' Callahan said, and if there's a credo for the Husky crew team, that might be it.
It is, unequivocally, the most successful college program in the United States, and one of the best of any ilk in the world.
Since Callahan took over as head coach of the men's team from legendary Bob Ernst in 2008, the varsity eight has won four national titles — the past three in a row — and seven consecutive Ten Eyck Trophies as the overall point winner at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships.
"It's such a great program historically; the Huskies have won the Olympics, won in cold war Russia, Henley — it's won everything,'' said Luke McGee, coach of the U.S. men's national team and former Husky freshman coach. "But this recent string of success has to be up there with the best in the entire history of the program."
McGee noted that the Huskies have swept all five grand finals at the IRAs the past two years. "That's unheard of,'' he said. "It's amazing stuff."
Though this year's squad is in somewhat of a rebuilding mode, having graduated numerous core seniors, the Huskies are coming off a rousing victory over top-ranked California, their perennial rival, last Saturday in Berkeley. On Saturday, they will face a huge challenge against the renowned Great Britain National Team in the 28th Windermere Cup.
To Callahan, it's just another marker in the endless series of mental and physical tests that present themselves to the Huskies. Competing last year in the prestigious Henley Royal Regatta on the River Thames was one. The Huskies defeated the Polish National Team en route to the finals of the Grand Challenge Cup. The UW bettered the 175-year-old existing course record but were edged by the British National team.
It was the Huskies' first loss of any kind since 2010, though it actually served to announce their presence as an international force.
"The closeness of the race enhanced Washington's reputation within Great Britain,'' Rob Dauncey, coach of the Great Britain Men's National Team, said Wednesday.
Another rare defeat followed in October, when the Huskies finished ninth (fifth among U.S. colleges) in the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston. Callahan believes the outcome was a result of a bit of a natural letdown following Henley, but served to re-stoke their competitive desires.
"Maybe they needed to recharge their batteries,'' he said. "A lot of our guys needed a little break, and now I think the fire's really burning hot."
The Windermere Cup will provide a chance to gauge the temperature.
"Sometimes, you have to push yourself to the edge, or maybe over it,'' Callahan said. "Maybe this is the weekend to try to do that, and see where the edge is. I think that would be a goal, trying to find out something more about ourselves against a very deep group we get to row against."
This event is foremost on Callahan's mind as he grabs his megaphone and barks out instructions to the three boats during a 6 a.m. workout. One contains the current group of nine — eight rowing seats and the coxswain — that will compete Saturday, while the inhabitants of the two others are intent on showing they belong in the main boat.
Pete Carroll's mantra, "Always compete" is a way of life in crew. Ernst has always referred to the daily workouts on the water as "tryouts,'' while Callahan uses the term "auditions." Whoever can make the boat go faster, in Callahan's estimation, will get a berth. Today, he is experimenting with some oarsmen in new seats, likening the tinkering to having a left tackle play right tackle.
"Own this one! Explode out of there!" Callahan barks, and the Huskies do just that as a beautiful morning dawns on Union Bay.
Callahan, the son of a Navy submarine captain, has always had an affinity for the water. Two of his distinct memories of a brief stint living in Silverdale during his junior-high years are watching Ernst celebrate an Olympic medal on television as coach of the women's team in 1984, and watching the Opening Day race — this very Windermere Cup — on TV.
When the family moved to Arlington, Va., Callahan took a shot at rowing in high school when a hand injury sidelined him from baseball for a year. It was an instant connection. He loved being on the Potomac and rowing past the monuments. He loved more the cause-and-effect democracy of the sport.
"It fit me,'' he said. "One thing I liked, if I put more effort into it, I got better, and I saw the result. I loved that positive relationship."
After he graduated from Washington in 1996 as captain and commodore of a Pac-10 title-winning Husky team, Callahan assumed he would move on with his life, "but I always loved rowing, and it kept bringing me back."
Callahan competed for the U.S. National Team, stroking three U.S. boats at the World Championships between 1997 and 2002. Ernst, meanwhile, brought Callahan back to Washington as an intern coach in 2001, having seen something in him during his four-year stint rowing on his men's team.
"He impressed me with how hard he worked,'' Ernst said. "He wasn't a big guy for a rower, but he ended up an Olympian (as an alternate in 2004)."
Callahan ascended to freshman coach after the '04 Olympics. Then, after winning the national championship in 2007, Ernst made a stunning decision. He was moving to the women's program, and recommending Callahan to take over the men. He called Callahan, who was on the East Coast with the National Team, to broach the subject.
"I think he said, 'Hold onto your jockstrap,' '' Callahan recalled with a chuckle. "That's how I remember it. He might have said, 'Buckle your seat belt,' but I think he said, 'Hold onto your jockstrap.' "
Callahan accepted, and has succeeded in maintaining, even enhancing, the legacy of a program he quickly says he is merely a steward of. He acknowledges that he has tempered some of the intensity he brought to his initial years ("I don't know if I'm softer, but maybe I'm more reasonable."). At the same time, the program's run of success makes it easier for the athletes to buy into Callahan's methods.
"It's really easy for guys here to trust his system, because it works, and he's proved it works,'' said senior Myles Neary.
Callahan ascribes to the theory that the three things you look for in a rower are in their head, their heart, and their lungs, and they can't be seen. But that doesn't mean you can't try to find them, whether on the Thames, in front of a raucous Montlake crowd on Saturday, or in the solitude of an early morning workout.
That's the never-ending pursuit of crew: To dig deep inside, individually and collectively, for something you didn't know was there. That's the hard part. And that's the fun part.

We're young, smart, and politically aware. We're out to change the partisan nature of the political blogosphere and provide a destination for fresh, thought provoking news and analysis from an Independent point of view.
Our audience is the young, smart, and politically aware American citizen. Anyone who is interested in the facts and stories they're probably not hearing from the mainstream media and enjoys a generous dose of satire and ridicule. We plan to hold both Democrats and Republicans feet to the fire and have a good time doing it!
The logo we are looking for is an ambiguously ethnic (olive skin, black hair w/ or w/o baseball cap) version of Rodan's "The Thinker." Around his middle, a rope is looped, and on either side, with dug in heels, pull the Democratic Donkey and the Republican Elephant. Atop it should read "Keepin' It Real." San serif font In an nutshell we want something visually arresting and kick-ass. Something you'd rock on a t-shrt.
Creative Considerations:
1. This makes us laugh, so should your rendering.
2. We see this as cartoonish in our minds (think bulging eyes here) but are open to other styles as long as they do #1.
3. Re: color/pattern The Donkey and Elephant should be the trad. blue and red (both have both colors) with stars.
4. We want bold, edgy, attention grabbing. Don't be afraid to take it there-- we'll pull you back if necessary.
5. Our Thinker's clothing should be youthful but not trendy. (You choose colors.) EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS LOGO MUST BE TIMELESS.
EX: http://images.google.com/images?cli…=en&tab=wi (3rd row 2nd column from left is partic. funny)
6. Start hand-drawn or computer but for finished file: high res. Illustrator or EPS.

The harder you work, the worse you will become,
Never thought I would have to think about that before practice or a game.
Sweat that use to come from miles run and jump shots made
Quickly turns into perspiration from fevers after illnesses that stay and never go away.
Hair becomes dry, falls out strand after strand.
Now braids are the past, a memory, of what was.
Side effects become points that keep adding up.
Lifting is harder, well for this week at least,
Bench pressing 170, to barely lifting 80, big difference for me.
Dieting becomes that play that you just can't get right.
Eat more, keep up your weight,
A year later 20 pounds gained.
Eat right, get your weight off,
It's starting to feel like an endless race.
"Take one of these pills every day for the rest of your life" doctor tells me with ease.
That moment was the begging of a never ending game.
Be smart, one step ahead of my life opponent "T".
Game plan figured out,
Get blood work checked every two months,
And don't forget to take my new muscle milk replacement.
New motto for my life, take every day as it comes because one day it can change.
"Being able to express those feelings helped me, even if I didn't read them to anybody," Taylor said. "Just having them out of my body just helped me have a more positive energy and mindset, instead of keeping them in and being angry or sad."
Although she began writing in high school, Taylor has filled volumes of journals during her three years at VCU. Taylor, a senior shooting guard for the Rams, has weathered a career hindered by a multitude of health problems.
However, with her pen and paper as her aid, Taylor has managed to emerge older, wiser and hopeful for a promising future in 2010-11 and beyond.
Taylor, a double major in English and women's studies, has a faulty thyroid gland. The thyroid controls how the body uses energy, makes proteins and controls how sensitive the body should be to other hormones. Three years ago, Taylor was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid or, hyperthyroidism. Recently, the gland reversed course and became sluggish, a condition known as hypothyroidism.
Taylor's haywire thyroid causes extreme fatigue and wrecks her immune system. She's been hospitalized a number of times and has been sidelined by countless maladies. When her thyroid switched from hyper to hypothyroidism, she gained 20 pounds. At one point last season, she suffered a full body cramp during a workout and had to be rushed to the hospital. Earlier this year, just a couple of weeks after bench pressing 170 pounds, she couldn't even lift 80 because of a bout with extreme fatigue.
Her condition has been so problematic that it caused Taylor to question whether she'd ever have a meaningful college basketball career. In high school, Taylor played everything. Soccer, basketball, softball, cross country, you name it. Her energy seemed limitless. But now, she couldn't run a few miles or squeeze in an extra lift without suffering the consequences.
"I was crying," she said. "I couldn't understand why I was feeling this way. I didn't think I was cut out for college sports. But my family and [VCU Athletic Trainer] Nicole Stevens basically said, 'you can do this.' A lot of doctors were telling me, you're staying in the hospital, maybe you should rethink stuff. I just kept doing it. I just kept pushing. It was hard."
During her freshman year at VCU, Taylor couldn't figure out why she was so tired all the time. The fatigue was debilitating. Some doctors told her it was the rigors of adjusting to college life, others thought she was depressed. She was sick most the year and played sparingly for the Rams. It wasn't until she had a blood test that the source of her condition was revealed.
Even though she was happy to have a diagnosis, Taylor found the adjustment difficult.
"I didn't know what to tell coach the last few years. I can't practice today?" Taylor said. "I'm just that tired. I'm weak. It's tough to tell a coach that. You're on the sidelines and you worry that she thinks that she can't count on you."
Taylor regulates her thyroid with daily medication. She also has her blood tested every two months. Any slip-up can send her thyroid into crash-mode. Taylor has to be particularly judicious about the amount of exercise she gets. If she overworks herself, she will end up bedridden, possibly for days. Like most people, flying causes her to become dehydrated. Only, Taylor's condition amplifies the effect.
"We went to Las Vegas last year and my team went out to see the town, but I asked to stay in and sleep because I was tired," Taylor said. "I wanted to get up and go, but I was just so tired. The girls went out and enjoyed the experience."
It's only recently that Taylor has started to find the right balance. She says that she made it through VCU's preseason practices healthy for the first time. It's a good thing, too. With the departure of four seniors that accounted for close to 3,500 points during their careers, Taylor figures prominently in Head Coach Beth Cunningham's plans.
When Ebony Patterson tore her Achillies' tendon earlier this year, Taylor became the lone senior on this year's squad, which means the Rams will lean heavily on her for leadership and guidance. In a way, Taylor's experiences make her a perfect leader for this year's VCU team. She's hungry and feels like she has something to prove.
"I just want to prove to everyone that we're the same team," she says enthusiastically. "We have yet to win a championship here and I'd like to do that. That's still one of my main goals, that VCU is here to stay, that even though we lost three big contributors from last year, I don't think everything changed here. We have the same amount of talent and as a captain and as a senior I want to let the girls know to believe in themselves."
When Taylor has played the last three seasons, she's shown enormous potential as an athletic guard who can bomb 3-pointers and defend some of the CAA's top scorers. Last year, Taylor was the Rams' top reserve, averaging 2.9 points and 2.5 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game.
Taylor thinks she can be even better in 2010-11. Through 19 games this season, she's averaging 4.7 points and 2.2 rebounds in 23.5 minutes per game. Through Her experiences may have dulled her star, but have given her a valuable perspective on life and on basketball.
"I always try to give my all in practice because I never know when it will be my last time to step on the floor," Taylor said. "I want to give energy, talking, screaming. Some of my teammates may think I'm annoying because I yell and stuff, but just seeing injuries with Ebony and how La'Tavia [Rorie] went out last year, you never know. Just with this, I could be fine and then who knows what could happen? So it just made me have an open mind and be greatful for still being here and trying to play."
When she graduates from VCU, Taylor hopes to publish a book of her poetry. You can expect a mountain of material to come from her college basketball career, an experience that forced her pen into action more times than she can count, but hasn't broken her spirit.
"It's a great feeling to step onto the floor. Basketball has gotten me to everywhere I am today, so I'm just very greatful."

3 C's of Cloud Adoption – Clover
Last week, I introduced my concept of the 3 C's of Cloud: Confine, Clover, and Cost and began outlining a simple strategy for maximizing your benefits during the process of adopting a cloud solution by confining the scope of your business problems. What comes next?
Let's now talk about the second of my "C" concepts—Clover.
Before you can 'roll in the clover' of a successful cloud implementation you need to address one of the most common pitfalls to success: failing to build an appropriate business justification for migrating to cloud. If you enter the process with the attitude that "I'll just experiment with this new Cloud thing and see what happens; maybe it will give me what I need," you may not end up 'in clover' but in the weeds. So, what do you need to do?
Take the time to clearly define your business justification for migrating to a cloud solution by assessing these key elements:
- Cost Savings – would you consider "cost saving" as the key goal for this cloud initiative? Many a times, it is found that once you understand the broad impact of successful cloud project, with 360 analysis of business needs, integration needs, reporting needs, employee training, and impact to 3rd parties, cost saving may not remain the key goal. Instead, global customer reach, faster access to feature functionalities, accessibilities from any devices, and high availability and business continuity may be considered key benefits.
- Reduction in Infrastructure – as you evaluate your cloud project, the first myth is that you would be able to reduce your infrastructure. But you should consider that you need to still keep the logs, servers for identity managements, servers for transaction data, and customer data within your own environments and solution for real-time and historical reporting for regulatory and business purposes; hence you would still keep infrastructure. Overall, cloud may help in reduction of some of your compute and storage infrastructure while expanding your Network (Local Area Network – LAN and Wide Area Network – WAN) infrastructure for higher application performance.
- IT investment strategy – cloud projects can really help to guide IT investment strategy where focus turns to access to applications with new feature functionality, network, security, global accessibility and business continuity needs instead of compute and storage needs. Hence IT investment strategy becomes more focus on growth and competitive differentiation compare to cost center.
- Need for control and automation – Many enterprises find that their cloud usage increases exponentially due to ease of access. This leads to reduced oversight that is required for protecting the IP and governance for the regulatory compliance. In addition, without appropriate control to identify resource role that is authorized to purchase the cloud services, it is difficult to validate if it is done according to corporate policies. Moreover, need for faster access to services and centralized control for cloud service requests leads to automation and orchestration tools and role based service request portal solutions.
- HR investment – Many organizations start their cloud project with underlying assumptions that cloud would facilitate reduction in resources and to their surprise they find out that it is not true. Cloud enables you to repurpose some of the resources to different roles and responsibilities. For example, public SaaS applications allow you to repurpose system resources related to that application to focus on network and security. At times, it becomes necessary to keep the same resources for development lab setup and run pilot environments to validate integration needs, release management needs and enhancement projects. So as you understand the strategic purpose of cloud in the organization, you should very carefully evaluate HR policy and changes to IT skills.
- End-User Experience – To understand the impact to end-user experience in accessing cloud application, one should consider end to end communication to access application in the cloud. For employees, it is the network to the service provider, outside of corporate boundary, that may not be as consistent. If a cloud application is being accessed from devices outside of corporate environment then it may be very fast if accessed directly from the service provider but may become slower if network traffic is routed through enterprise network due to security, authentication and authorization needs. You should plan for appropriate cloud usage and user experience by testing.
Now that that you understand the importance of defining scope and success parameters (Confine & Clover, respectively) for you cloud strategy, you are ready for my next blog on Cost (Coming next week), which will show you how defining your scope and success can help to reduce hidden costs associated with Cloud.

Man Stabbed, Hit with Frying Pan Over Facebook Post
Reason you should delete your Facebook account, #4,679: It can get you hit in the head with a frying pan, and then stabbed. Just ask Aaron Calhoun of Toldeo, Ohio!
Calhoun, who is 25, apparently read something written about his sister on Facebook that he did not "like" so much. Unfortunately, instead of following the time-honored internet tradition of posting passive-aggressive Facebook statuses, he decided to confront the woman who'd posted the thing about his sister—Taresa O'Neal, a 20-year-old Toledo woman (pictured).
It didn't go so well. He was apparently hit with a frying pan (is he a cartoon character?), and then stabbed. (He was treated by Toledo hospital for non-lifethreatening injuries.) O'Neal and "another man" were arrested.
So, just remember: Facebook can get you drafted, force you to pay your debts, give you an asthma attack, get you jailed, out you to advertisers, get you fired and get you robbed. Then again, it can save your life.

Good Opp. for 1Ls struggling to find jobs
December 01, 2009, 12:30:32 PM »
Hello All,
Im a 2L from William and Mary Law School, passing along a great summer opportunity for those of you (us) who may be struggling with this job market.
Simply put, the Center for Legal and Courtroom Technology at WM (FULL DISCLOSURE: I work for CLCT as part of my fellowship) is offering a legal technology summer school program.
I know were all hoping for the perfect job, and I know theres a lot of great summer programs out there, but I wanted to pass this along because its the sort of thing that looks great on a resume and can be uniquely attractive to employers.
A few things (in outline form, because Im in full exam-prep-mode) about the program its good to know:
1.) Technology is getting HUGE in the legal community, so this sort of experience is helpful on a number of employment fronts:
a.) EMPLOYERS LOVE IT: I've been on a bunch of interviews this fall and EVERYONE I've talked to has asked about my work with CLCT, and expressed that their firm is lagging behind in one technology area or another.
b.) STANDS OUT ON RESUME: Weve all been told that the key to 1L summer is getting something legal on your resume; this is the sort of thing that no one else has, and the sort of things employers WANT.
c.) EASY to TALK ABOUT IN INTERVIEWS: since most attorneys lag behind on technology, some expertise can be very impressive. And if you happen to interview with someone who knows technology, theyll be even more impressed because CLCT is the top dog in terms of legal technology nationwide.
2.) Academically its pretty solid too:
a.) UNIQUE COURSES: This is the rare experience that isnt being shared by 100,000 law students across the country- we all take the exact same 6 courses the first year (and 2/3 of my classes my first 2L semester are also pretty standard)this is a chance to get some academic credit in areas that no one else has any background in.
b.) SMALL CLASSES/GREAT PROFS: CLCT does some really cutting-edge stuff involving international law and advanced courtroom technology. The courses touch on some of that, but more importantly, youll be working closely with professors who are tapped into some major legal communities (translation: great outside-the-box networking opportunity)
c.) RELEVANCE: the courses are relevant- much more so than, dare I say, Torts or Crim Pro- I took an online course re: metadata (identifying data hidden in electronic information) and am already seeing all sorts of applications where, in today's job market, I can really stand out.
3.) Williamsburg (home of WM) isn't the most exciting town, but it's great in the summer, close to some fantastic beaches, and really the cradle of legal education in this country. I had a guy who did summer school last year tell me that the historic reputation at WM alone was worth doing the program in terms of job searches.
4.) the program is short, 4 weeks long, so you can do a part-summer job and still come down (or up if you're further south) to Billsburg and get some great experience (a lot of folks did this last summer)
Anyway, it's a lot of information, and like I said above, I know there are lots of good programs out there and I wish everyone the best finding the right opportunity for next summer.
If anyone has any interest in learning more, feel free to drop me an email at
[email protected]
Here's the CLCT website if you want to check us out:
(add /summer to go straight to the summer program page)
Thanks for reading if you've stuck around, and I hope to hear from you.

Hello again-
I've gotten a few emails with questions I unfortunately don't have all the answers for...if anyone's interested in the program and have questions from an administrative perspective, feel free to contact Mary Beth Dalton at
[email protected]
If you have more practical, 1L summer questions, I'm still your guy at
[email protected]
Again, this program is a nice, attractive on the resume, alternative if summer jobs are tough to come by, but I'm hoping everyone has luck finding something more "job-ish" (so far my luck, as a 2L, has been limited).

The course descriptions for this summer are now posted on CLCT's redesigned website at:
For helping with future job searches, I think Technology-Augmented Trial Advocacy (looks great for anyone thinking about trial work) and Electronic Discovery and Data Seizures (every law firm in the country needs to learn more about this stuff) look best on a resume.
For pure philosophical interest, Privacy in a Technological Age would be my choice.
And if you need to take Evidence, an intensive course w/CLCT's director could be very helpful....
I've gotten a handful of emails about the program, from this forum and others, with the two biggest questions concerning deadlines, and whether or not you can conceivably split summers.
The application deadline is April 2.
And split summers ARE possible- the program runs from June 1-July 2.
More details at the website above.
Re: application deadline pushed back to April 16

The application deadline for William and Mary's Legal Technology summer program has been pushed back to April 16...
Again, though I'm surely biased, I think this is an excellent alternative summer experience if you're a 1L struggling to find work this summer.
If anyone is interested, or has questions, feel free to contact either myself at
[email protected]
, or Mary Beth Dalton at

Hi Folks-
The April 16 deadline for registration for the Legal Tech summer program has passed.
For those of you I've talked to, I hope you've found the jobs you were hoping for, and if not, I hope CLCT's program turned out to be a good option.
Apparently we've got a record number of out of state applicants, so it should be a fun summer with good opportunities to make contacts from all over the country.
While the deadline has passed, I think there's a chance there are a handful of spots available-- if anyone was interested but missed the boat, or is scrambling to make some solid summer plans, skip me and contact Mary Beth Dalton, who administers the program, at
[email protected]
Thanks again for everyone's interest!

Hi Sstupid,
You're quite correct to say that many native English speakers cannot use the apostrophe correctly with 'it'.
There are 2 uses of the apostrophe - to indicate possession and for contraction.
Contraction is fairly straightforward, where the apostrophe indicates the missing letter(s), but possession does cause a few problems. 'It's' is always a contraction.
I think the problem with 'its' for possession is caused by the confusion between speaking and writing - when speaking, 'it is' is nearly always pronounced 'it's'. It would be much clearer if the two words were spoken individually. Take the following - 'The dog has a kennel. That's its home'. If there was an apostrophe, it would read 'That's it is home' in its (possession again) full form.
As for apostrophe and 's', I always taught that you only used this when the additional 's' was pronounced. For example, 'girls' school' would sound very strange as 'girlses school'. However, I would use apostrophe and 's' with 'Ross's house' because you pronounce the additional 's'.
But - and there's always a but - it is often a matter of individual preference. As long as your intention is clear, just find a method that makes sense to you and is easy to use and you should be fine.
Hope this is of some help.

WESTBOROUGH, Mass.
- Sep. 5, 2012
NORESCO, a national leader in energy efficiency and energy infrastructure solutions, has secured a $7.9 million guaranteed energy savings agreement with Bedford County (BC) and Bedford County Public Schools (BCPS) in Virginia. NORESCO specializes in the development, design, construction, financing and operation of energy and environmental efficiency projects, and is a part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (UTX).
The project is funded by reductions in energy and water usage over a 15-year contract term, with no upfront cost to taxpayers for improvements to county buildings and schools. The aggregated project includes improvements to lighting, energy management and HVAC systems, water conservation and weatherization. The building and school enhancements will improve the learning and work environment for students, teachers and staff. Construction began at the end of April 2012, and completion is forecasted for October 2013.
"BC and BCPS are trusted to take care of citizens, students, teachers and staff. NORESCO is pleased to work on projects, such as this, to innovate solutions with local governments," said John Hobbes, group director, NORESCO.
NORESCO's analysis of financial options demonstrated that BC and BCPS could achieve greater results by working in tandem, resulting in improved buying power and jointly procured services. As beneficiaries of the collaboration, three schools are financially able to receive new windows. Working separately, school capital would have been required for the new windows.

NEWMARKET — One Sky Futures' School Transition Services invites the public to visit its Learning Center in Newmarket on Wednesday, Oct. 3, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Since May, high school students have been busy learning life skills at the multipurpose space at 60 Exeter Road. One Sky Futures is a subsidiary of One Sky Community Services, which provides services for people with developmental disabilities and acquired brain disorders in 24 Rockingham County cities and towns. Its School Transition Services extend beyond Rockingham County to other New Hampshire counties, the North Shore of Massachusetts and Southern Maine.
"We're excited and proud of our first program space in the community," says One Sky Executive Director Bob James. One Sky has provided service coordination and family support services at its Portsmouth offices for nearly 30 years. Direct programming began to be offered five years ago. "One Sky Futures' has been expanding rapidly," says James, "and we're more than ready for the space. "
School Transition Services provide students with independent living and vocational skills, ongoing education and training, community participation and communication skills. "We're hoping to see many special education directors and case managers at the open house," says Program Manager MHC MacLeod.
Visitors will see the students' kitchen, laundry and computer facilities, and recreational spaces indoors and out. They'll be treated to refreshments donated by The Olive Garden while learning about curricula such as "flameless/knifeless cookery," cleaning/domestic skills; money management; music with TJ Wheeler, iPad 'Gabfest', school-to-work internships, yoga, exercise, dance and relaxation classes.
The Learning Center takes advantage of its proximity to the University of New Hampshire's Durham campus, to employ UNH volunteers and expose its students to campus programs. They're also close to job opportunities, since Newmarket's downtown area has been undergoing renewal and expansion. Situated next door to the town's acclaimed Community Recreation Center, and a short walk to the public library and scenic Schanda Park, Learning Center students are well placed to fully participate in the greater Seacoast community.
For more information, please contact: Eliza Hobson, e. firstname.lastname@example.com or phone, (603)436-6111, ext. 115.
In Newmarket: Open house slated at One Sky Futures Learning Center
NEWMARKET — One Sky Futures' School Transition Services invites the public to visit its Learning Center in Newmarket on Wednesday, Oct. 3, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
