I first met the Shotek (the silent) as we called him in Chortkov, when I
was a young boy.
It happened during the winter of 1918, or maybe 1919. The Shotek lived in a house near my parent's house. During those days, one losing army was retreating, and the victorious one was entering the city. One day, soldiers broke into the Shotek's apartment. I remember his frightened look when he entered our home. With his hands he asked if we could provide him with a place to sleep next to the stove. My mother fulfilled his wish and put a lamp next to his bed. I remember, that the Shotek did not sleep all night, but stood on his feet until first morning light, and quietly studied his Mishnah. Later on, he moved from his apartment to a place that was attached to the rabbi's Kloiz. From his room a passageway led to the apartment where Chaim the Poor (Chaim Binde) lived. Chaim earned his living making homemade vodka. At one time, a group of soldiers attacked Chaim the Poor demanding a drink. When he refused to obey their demand, they wanted to shoot him. At that moment, Chaim the Poor noticed that the door leading to the Shotek's room was opened. That door was always locked. He ran and hid in the Shotek's room, and was saved from a certain death. From that day forward, Chaim used to visit the Shotek in his room, taking care of all his needs, and most of all, he gave him food.
At the same period of time, I happened to be next the Shotek's door. The door was open, and he called me and asked me to bring him water. From that hour, and until the day he died, for maybe ten years, I took care of him and attended to all his needs.
Later on maybe a year later- Chaim the Poor, myself, and a number of Jews, decided that it was time to find a new place for the Shotek to live. We found an appropriate place for him in the abandoned mansion of Chortkov's rabbi. Somehow we renovated two rooms. He lived there until his last days.
Who was the Shotek? From where did he come to Chortkov? My questions were never answered. This is what I know. Ten years before the outbreak of World War I, he appeared in the rabbi's room, and spent all of his days and nights in the rabbi's Kloiz.
He set in a far corner, praying and studying, without saying a single word. In the evenings, he was invited by Chortkov's residence, to eat his evening meal at their table. At that period of time, many sat at the rabbi's court, and the Shotek never brought a lot of attention to himself. But in time, after he was known as the Shotek, many started to wonder who he was, and what was he all about. Many legends were strung around this strange person who stopped talking. Some claimed, that his father, whose name was Shimeon Bar Meir, was a soldier in Czar Nikoly's army. When he finished his twenty-five years of service, he was given a parcel of land, and with his wife's help he worked the land. One day, the two of them was working in the field when Russian farmers passed by. They approached the couple and said: Why are you working today? Don't you know that today is Yom Kippur? The Jew, who was uneducated, got scared, and hurried to town to see the rabbi. He laid in front of the rabbi, and wished for a quick death. The rabbi told him, that since he repented for his crime, a son will be born to him, and will bring him and his wife a lot of happiness. The couple was childless, but a year later a son was born to them. They called him Shimeon and he was the Shotek.
Here is another story about him. It was told, that he was buying and selling copper, and that he also melted copper. One day, after an argument with his wife, he cursed her and wished that she will be burned alive. So, one day, while he was melting copper, there was an explosion, and his wife was burned alive. The grieving husband hurried to the rabbi to tell him about the accident. It is told, that the rabbi said him, in an angry voice, that a mouth like his should be silenced.
In 1925 or 1926, a young man appeared in Chortkov introducing himself as the Shotek's son-in-law. But the Shotek refused to see him. I tried to get some information about the Shotek from the Yeshiva student, but I was not able to. The Shotek never answered any of my questions. He wrote all his requests on a piece of paper, but he refused to answer any of my questions about his life or his past.
His room was simply furnished with a table and a long bench. In the middle of the room stood a stove that was being fed with broken tree branches, and wood planks that were in large supply in the empty and half destroyed rooms. There was also an old cupboard, a shelf with a few books, and some food. There was not a place to sleep in the room. Most of the time he slept sitting, leaning on the table. He wore galoshes on his feet, and he had a grayish beard.
My meetings with him were very special. In the morning and at midday, he never allowed me to enter his room. In the evenings, after Ma'ariv prayers, I used to knock on his window, to let him know that I was there. Then I walked to his door, he opened it, maybe in the length of my little finger, stuck his head, looked around him, and then he grabbed my hand and pulled me inside. He asked me to sit on his bench, gave me a drink and a piece of cake. By the way, there was always a small bottle of liqueur and a cake in the Shotek's room, courtesy of a woman by the name of Steinberg. Later on, he gave me two pails and asked me to bring him water from a nearby well. When I came back with the water, he gave me a note and sent me to Yisrael's grocery store to buy him food. Sometimes I bought him bread and sometimes sugar. Rice and tea were given to him by Yisrael the grocer. He never ate meat. Sometimes, he sent me to Phalak's pharmacy to get him medicine that Phalak gave him free of charge. He was always praying by himself, only during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur he appeared for the blowing of the Shoffar
I remember, that once I asked a photographer to take a picture of the Shotek without him noticing it. But the Shotek realized what was happening, and when I got the picture, his face was covered with the scarf that was always wrapped around his neck. Even though he was interested in politics, and read the Yiddish newspapers that were published was purchased by at that time, he never allowed a reporter to get close to him. His food was purchased with donations that I collected from a number of homes. Around twelve Zehovim every week.
Every year, when the rabbi came to Chortkov from Vienna, together with his entourage, I used to bring the Shotek to see him. He used to stay with the rabbi for many hours, until midnight.
Many years passed. I stood all those days and long years on my guard, and took care of all the Shotek's needs. I remember that sometimes he asked me to come closer to him and showed me a special place in the Gemara, and encouraged me to study that special section. The Zohar (the book of Kabbalah) was always on his table, and most of the time it was open.
My most cherished experience was during Passover eve, when I stood outside the Shotek's window listening to him singing and reading the Hagadah. I was always accompanied by a number of Chortkov's young Yeshiva students, and together we listened to his pleasant deep voice.
I remember the night the Shotek died. As always, he asked me to bring him two pails of water. It was a cold winter night, and it was difficult for me to walk and bail the water. When I came back, he asked me to pour the water into a metal bathtub that stood in the corner of his room. Even though I was puzzled by his order, I've done what he had asked me to do, and filled the tub with water. He sent me out again, to bring more water, and when I came back he asked me to pour the water into the same tub, and then, he asked me to do the same for the third time, and again I filed the tub with water. Then he ordered me to sit and rest, and then, the strangest thing had happened. Not only that he poured a glass of liqueur for me, he also poured one for himself. It was the first time since I have met him that he has done it. We both drank, and then he looked at me and said the words Great Mitzvah' and shook my hand. When I proceeded to leave and go to the grocery store, he signaled with his hands that it was unnecessary to do so. Later on, he led me to the door, and said in a whispering voice depart in peace. When I asked him if I should come the next day, he did not reply.
The next day I knocked at his window, but he did not answer me. Since it had happened before I left. When my knock was not answered the next day, I called my father and a few other Jews. They broke the door, and found the Shotek laying dead in his shrouds and wrapped in his Talit. There was water around the Shotek's body; probably he purified himself before he died. I also remember that when the news of his death reached the city, Yeshayho Blander took a quick drawing of the Shotek's face.
All the city's residents, from the youngest to the oldest, participated in his funeral.
In 1952, I visited Chortkov and went to the cemetery to look for his gravestone. I was hoping that maybe it survived after the Holocaust.
I wrote these lines, me Yisrael Shabtai Axelrod, on May 1962 in Mogoliv-Podolskei, Soviet Union

Fendi and Sarah Jessica Parker have a long history with each other. Back in the halcyon days of the early 2000s, exposure on Sex and the City exploded the Fendi Baguette from an industry obsession to a full-on It Bag that was recognizable to people who might never have previously considered buying a bag that expensive. The SJP-Fendi nexus not only provided several plot points for the show (one in which Carrie's Baguette and Manolos are stolen, another in which a fake Fendi becomes a metaphor for Charlotte's marriage), but it also paved the way for every It Bag from the Chloe Paddington to the Celine Luggage Tote.
The brand and the fashion icon have gotten together again, this time for what I think might be the real-world debut of a bag that Fendi seems to hope will garner the sort of traction that the Baguette and Spy (and to a certain extent, the Peekaboo) have previously enjoyed. Having Sarah Jessica Parker trot out a monogrammed version of the bag pre-release is a great place to start the hype machine, but you know what would be even better? If Fendi would tell us what this tote is called. I can't find a single mention of the name anywhere. I asked on Twitter, I scoured Fendi's Facebook, I Googled endlessly. Still, nothing. Check out even more versions of the bag after the jump, and if you know the name (I bet one of you does), let us know in the comments.
UPDATE: Since I was researching this post yesterday afternoon, Neiman Marcus has added the bag to its site for pre-order in both black and red. The name of the bag is still unknown, but it can be had via Neiman Marcus for $2260, delivery date TBA. Hat tip to commenter GPC for the info.
UPDATE 2: Nordstrom also received the bags for pre-order today, and they're calling it the Fendi 2Jours Elite Tote, which is a terrible name for a beautiful bag. They have it available in red, black, tan and white. Unlike Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom is offering all four colors for immediate delivery. Hat tip to commenter Dee.

So, what does leading with heart look like? What are the little tangible things that leaders with heart do on a regular basis? How does a leader with heart differ from the typical building leader? Although I am certainly no expert on the matter and have done no research and have no proof that the things I am about to share will actually work for everyone, these are the little things I do because I love being an instructional leader and leading with my heart is all I know how to do (sometimes it can make things challenging)...
1) I know the names of every one of our students; these children are so incredibly important to me and I feel that if I can say hello to them by name when I pass them in the hallway or sit next to them in their classroom or play handball with them at recess, they can begin to understand that they are all very special to me!
2) I know as much as I can about each staff member (whatever they are comfortable sharing) and their lives beyond the school building; as a parent it has become crystal clear to me that many of the things that happen in my personal life directly shape and impact the decisions I make in my professional life; by knowing our staff, on a somewhat personal level, I am better able to understand each person's perspectives, decisions and needs, which are critical to the success of our school! For example, if one of our teachers gets a call from her child's school that her son is sick, then my priority becomes arranging coverage for that teacher so she can leave immediately and go be with her child because that is where she is needed.
3) I announce the birthdays of each student and staff member during our daily morning announcements; I write a card for each staff member and invite each student down to my office to pick out a little birthday prize. Neither the cards nor the birthday prizes are a big deal (so glad places like Oriental Trading exist) but I do believe they mean something to the people on the receiving end - they feel special; they feel acknowledged; they feel connected.
4) I am visible everyday to everyone (at least that is my goal until the administrative stuff gets in the way - but I limit that too and will address that later). I am in the classrooms, the lunchroom, at recess, in the gym and in the hallways all day. I literally avoid my office because I want to know what is going on in our school, in our classrooms, in the lives of our students and staff. By being connected to the daily happenings in our building, I am able communicate our successes from within certain spaces to the community at large!
5) Honest, clear and consistent communication are critical keys to leading with heart!
- I write a weekly newsletter for the staff, Fast Friday Focus (thank you Todd Whitaker for this amazing idea and many others that I learned from reading What Great Principals Do Differently - a must read for all instructional leaders - check out these other materials), where I spotlight all the amazing things happening in our school. I try and spotlight different staff members each week and their varied instructional techniques and approaches because that type of sharing helps foster a professional learning community. It is not about someone being better than anyone else; it is about sharing great techniques, resources and learning experiences because these are the things that will help us all grow!
- I also maintain this type of communication with the families of our children. Our district has gone paperless and 99% of our communication is via email so I email the parents at least 2-3 times a week. My emails weren't very "meaty" at first - I would spotlight upcoming PTA events, school-wide activities and other such stuff; but as time went on, I realized this regular email to the parents (known as the Cantiague Daily Update) could be a powerful vehicle for spotlighting all the amazing things our kids were learning each day with their teachers! As a parent, I knew that when Paul got home all he wanted to talk about was lunch and recess, which was great, but I wanted to know what he was learning in math, what he was reading in class or what he was creating in writing workshop, which was like pulling teeth to hear about. So, now, my emails still include details about all the upcoming events and stuff but they also contain information about specific things our children are doing and learning on each grade level. I don't spotlight each grade level in every email but, within a two week period, I try and spotlight each grade level at least once. This information has garnered a lot of feedback from the parents - many of them have thanked me for sharing the specifics of the teaching and learning happening in our building because they are now able to engage their children about these experiences.
6) I try and bring people together on a regular basis. In regards to the kids, we are fortunate enough to have an auditorium that holds about 450 people and since our school has only about 400 kids, we are able to all fit in there at once. Although we don't have whole school assemblies as regularly as I would like (a goal for this year), we do them periodically and they are critical to helping build community and fostering connections across grade levels! (If you don't have an auditorium, you can use the gym or the field or even the front lawn - the location is not as important as the practice). In regards to the staff, I try and host a few breakfasts and a luncheon throughout the year to bring everyone together in a comfortable and relaxed space. The daily pressures of being an educator, especially in this day and age, can be brutal so coming together to just eat, chat and laugh are crucial to sustaining the emotional well-being of each person in our building.
7) I like to leave handwritten notes for our various staff members on a regular basis. The note may thank them for an amazing lesson or for their efforts in helping a specific child or for sharing with colleagues or it may simply help put a smile on their face when things have been difficult. Whatever the goal or reason, a handwritten note can go a really long way! I try and write at least one note/card each week but this is not always easy to keep up. In an effort to save paper, I have also recently started using the Penultimate app to email "handwritten" notes to our teachers while I am in their classrooms or right after I have left - we are fortunate enough to have had our whole building become WiFi this year so I am able to use my iPad in many powerful ways!
8) I try and lead by example. For instance, I am really passionate about learning, teaching and curriculum so I try and learn something new each day that I could share with our staff. Whether it is the reading and writing workshop models for literacy instruction or the power of using Twitter (check out this great blog post by my friend Brad Currie, who I never would have met without Twitter) for staff development, my goal is always to share what is current, powerful and what could impact our children in the classrooms. I am always reading, learning, exploring and doing because I want our school to be the best one on the planet for each child!
9) I block out "observation" time in my calendar throughout the week and I try and do all my administrative work (the paper pushing, email sending, etc.) either early in the morning before school starts or late in the afternoon when the day is over and most people are gone. It is so important to be visible in the school community and I feel strongly that the last place people should find me during the day is in my office. Ok, so sometimes I "get in trouble" with colleagues or supervisors because I didn't respond to an email fast enough (even though I do see every email on my iPhone) or didn't return a phone call immediately or am running late to a meeting but the bottom line is that my kids and staff come first and the administrative stuff can wait, even just for a little while. (I will say that being late to a meeting is not cool so I am really working on that piece because I need to be respectful of other people's time).
10) I love what I do! Simply put, aside from my family, I live for being an educator and instructional leader and my passion for education is something I wear on my sleeve! I want to be a part of a team that creates a school that any child, family or staff member would be proud to be apart of!
Well, this list could go on... I feel like there are a lot of other little things that I do in my daily work as a leader that are also really important but I think that the list above, especially #10, are the ingredients to my attempts to be a Leader with Heart each and every day! I am sure many of you out there do these things and a lot more because I believe that in order to be a successful educator one must inject a lot of heart in their daily work. So, please feel free to try something I shared here or please post a comment at the bottom of this blog where you share examples of the amazing things you do to be a Leader with Heart!

Eminem, Justin Bieber Lead Winners at Billboard Music Awards [VIDEO]
Justin Bieber and Eminem may be two very different acts, but they wound up with the same number of awards at Sunday's Billboard Music Awards.
Each star collected six trophies. Eminem scored victories top artist, top male artist, top Billboard 200 album, top rap artist, top rap song and top rap album. The Beebs won for top new artist, top social artist, top streaming artist, top digital media artist, top pop album and top streaming song.
Bieber provided a water cooler moment when he kissed purported girlfriend Selena Gomez after he won the top new artist award, lending some serious credibility to all the talk they are dating.
Taylor Swift won top album artist of the year, while Rihanna, who led the field with 18 nominations, took top female artist of the year honors.
The ceremony, which returned after a five-year break, came back with a bang. Britney Spears opened the show by performing a racy duet with Rihanna on her song 'S&M' that featured the pair locking lips. Spears wasn't done, though – she returned later in the broadcast to perform her hit 'Till the World Ends' with Nicki Minaj.
Beyonce also had a memorable evening, earning the Millennium Award. A taped tribute featured glowing remarks from such luminaries as Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga, Bono and her own parents. She then treated the crowd to a live performance of her new song, "Run the World (Girls)," before accepting the award.

Spiders Alive! Reopens, with Dividend main content.
by AMNH on
When Spiders Alive! returns to the Museum this Friday, July 4 —two years after the exhibition's debut—for some of the featured arachnids, it won't be a question of coming back. As it turns out, they never left—and some have even multiplied.
After the first exhibition ended in December 2012, several species stayed on to live in the Museum's behind-the-scenes facility. Among the resident animals: 16 rose-haired tarantulas, seven emperor scorpions, five ornamental tarantulas, five desert hairy scorpions, three giant vinegaroons, three Southern house spiders, and two trapdoor spiders. (One of the rose-haired tarantulas, Heather, is currently featured in The Power of Poison. "She's particularly pretty," says Hazel Davies, associate director of live exhibits. "We like her coloration.")
Over time, the group has grown thanks to two broods of emperor scorplings, eight born last July and 16 this March—catching Davies and her team by surprise. Unlike spiders, "scorpions give live birth, so there were no egg sacs to prepare us," she explains. While youngsters have to be kept apart from adults, emperor scorpions are communal: the scorplets get along as a group, and the adults live peacefully together.
The two broods each now live in their own separate glass enclosures and, like the adults, are fed a diet of crickets. The mother scorpions and their offspring, as well as a variety of spiders from around the world, will be on view in Gallery 77 on the first floor when Spiders Alive! reopens.
Thanks to the recent additions, visitors also will be able to see emperor scorpions at various stages of development. Newborns are a ghostly white; after birth they crawl up en masse onto their mother's back, where she keeps her venom-barbed tail poised over them to protect them from predators. That hasn't been a concern for their human handlers at the Museum, says Davies, because the sting of the emperor scorpion is relatively mild, comparable to a bee sting, and avoidance is the animals' first line of defense.
"They're very mild mannered, these guys," she explains. "And we know how to handle them without upsetting them." Over the course of a month or so this spring, the March brood of scorplets came down from their mother's back, going through successive molts to grow larger and darkening in color each time. By the time visitors see them in the gallery, they'll be dark brown, changing color toward black like their parents.

Los Angeles — UCLA Anderson has selected Angelo R. Mozilo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Countrywide Financial Corporation, as the recipient of the prestigious Information Systems (IS) Associates Award for Executive Leadership for his visionary use of information technology at Countrywide Financial Corporation. The award was presented to Mozilo at an awards dinner on December 4, 2002, at the Regency Club in Westwood, California.
The IS Associates Award for Executive Leadership is an annual award that recognizes a senior general management executive's leadership in the exceptional application of information technology within an organization. IS Associates, a part of UCLA Anderson, has conducted cutting-edge research and education in information systems and has contributed considerable intellectual capital in the area to Southern California's rich body of information systems professionals.
"It is an honor to present Angelo Mozilo with the distinguished Executive Leadership Award. His vision to aggressively implement innovative technology is an example for all business leaders," said Bruce Willison, dean, UCLA Anderson.
Mozilo addressed the attendees with a speech that discussed the evolution and mission to transform Countrywide into a leading financial services company.
"Bottom line is if you do not commit yourself and your company to effective and relevant technologies and expend the financial and human capital required, then you cannot expect to compete, dominate, or even survive," said Mozilo. He concluded by stating, "Technology is ever changing, so we have to stay alert, break down the barriers of progress, and enthusiastically embrace positive change through technology."
Mozilo is responsible for Countrywide's technological leadership over the course of its existence, resulting in constantly improving productivity and competitive advantage. Countrywide's adoption of new technology for IT infrastructure has been years ahead of the loan industry in such areas as client-server, Lotus Notes groupware, Windows NT, messaging workflow, XML, Java, wireless, and storage area network. Timely application of new technology has resulted in Countrywide being one of the pioneers of online lending.

Following repeated rejections from county leaders on a massive upgrade plan for Bowers and Munny Sokol parks, the Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority is now asking for lesser upgrades to enhance recreational fields and amenities at both sites.
Following repeated rejections from county leaders on a massive upgrade plan for Bowers and Munny Sokol parks, the Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority is now asking for lesser upgrades to enhance recreational fields and amenities at both sites.
A series of previous plans that, at times, exceeded $20 million in order to update the two parks with the hopes of luring sports tourism events — and, in turn, new revenue streams for local governments — were never jointly agreed upon by both the City Council or the County Commission.
Now, a plan totaling $7.53 million to renovate existing baseball, football and soccer fields, improve lighting and bleachers and other upgrades is being pitched by PARA Executive Director Gary Minor.
The plan calls for the city to cover 70 percent of the total, or $5.27 million, with the county paying 30 percent, or $2.26 million. The city's share will be covered with proceeds from a $10 million line of credit the city secured in December.
It was approved unanimously Tuesday by the City Council following the recommendation earlier that day by its Public Projects Committee, but not before Councilwoman Cynthia Almond expressed her dismay over the scaled-back approach.
Almond, who represents Sokol Park as part of District 3, said she was "sorry" that the original plan could not be finalized between the two groups and said that efforts to complete the original vision should not be abandoned.
"I hope we will continue to work to get there," she said.
And once again, the council's approval was contingent upon the County Commission's acceptance of the deal. Mayor Walt Maddox said Commission Chairman Hardy McCollum was expected to present the plan to the commission next month.
Specifically, the spending plan calls for $3.19 million of upgrades to Sokol Park and $4.34 million of work at Bowers Park.
Minor said the costs include restroom, concession stand and storage facilities, batting and pitching cages, shaded bleacher covers and additional parking for Sokol Park.
Additional Sokol Park work would include upgrading picnic tables, benches, trash receptacles and grills; the fencing in of Sokol Park North's multipurpose complex and improving the multipurpose fields inside the fence.
While the original plan called for the addition of several rectangular fields for soccer and football use, this scaled-back plan will upgrade the two existing football fields — the only football fields at any PARA facility — and enhance the multipurpose fields that are now used for soccer and flag football as well as softball and baseball games.
"Since we're not getting any new recreational, rectangular styled fields for football and soccer, we're asking to expand existing fields slightly to grow the football and soccer programs," Minor said.
In Bowers Park, the plan calls for the rebuilding of the two four-field complexes that are used for baseball and softball — all of which are more than 30 years old, Minor said — along with fencing all fields, adding parking for the park and replacing or upgrading light poles, some of which rusted and fell over years ago.
Other Bowers Park work includes adding restroom and storage units for the tennis courts, erecting batting and pitching cages, installing shaded bleachers and improving the park's signs and landscaping.
While discussions on the larger, more expensive plan ran aground in August during a joint meeting of city and county officials that ended with no agreement, Maddox said the overall vision of the plan has not been abandoned.
In fact, the mayor stressed that should any future work be approved for Bowers and Sokol parks, it will be added to this existing slate of projects.
"We look at this almost like the first phase," Maddox said. "None of these improvements will be cast aside and torn down."
While a proposal to upgrade Sokol and Bowers parks was first pitched by the Tuscaloosa Tourism and Sports Commission (TTSC) on April 26, 2011, its priority was reduced the following day when a deadly tornado destroyed 12 percent of the city.
Efforts to gain approval for the plan began anew in September 2012, when the TTSC teamed up with PARA, which receives the bulk of its annual funding from the City Council and County Commission, to present a $12.1 million facilities upgrade plan to the city and county governments.
In the months that followed, the overall cost grew to more than $20 million at one point, although the final version that was seriously considered totaled $15.3 million.
According to this rejected proposal, the city would cover 65 percent (with the county funding the remaining 35 percent) of $10.3 million worth of the work with the remaining $5 million shared by the governments on a 50-50 split.
Correction: The Tuscaloosa County Commission in May approved a $20.2 million plan to upgrade facilities operated by the Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority. This story incorrectly stated that the commission had rejected all park improvement plans.

OV senior leads Independent field hockey stars
ADDISON COUNTY — Once again, the three local high school field hockey teams proved this fall they could play with anybody in Vermont, thanks in part to the contributions of the members of the 2010 Addison Independent Field Hockey All-Star Team.Coach Gary Hodder's Otter Valley team won the most games, 12, and reached the Division II final. Midfielder Kristy Pinkham, the 2010 Independent Player of the Year, sparked the Otters all over the field, from defending penalty corners to figuring in 70 percent of their offense. Two teammates who helped hold OV's opponents to 13 goals this fall join Pinkham on the Independent team.Coach Kelley Higgins' Middlebury squad went 8-6-3 against the toughest competition in the state, including winning two playoff games to reach the D-II semifinals. The Tigers made a legitimate argument for being the third or fourth best team in Vermont, and five are honored here. Coach Mary Stetson's D-II Mount Abraham team compiled a misleading 2-11-1 regular season record against a full slate of D-I foes. The Eagles easily won a first-round playoff game before taking eventual D-II champion Harwood into overtime in a D-II semifinal, a better indication of the quality of their play. Three Eagle seniors earned recognition here.Selections were made based on observation, statistics, consultation with the coaches and overall contributions to the teams' success. Congratulations to the following: KRISTY PINKHAM, OV SENIOR, PLAYER OF THE YEAR. Notes: Tireless, skilled midfielder who scored eight of OV's 20 goals and assisted six ... Speedy, relentless defender who served as the flyer on OV's defensive penalty corner team, and whose offensive ability keyed the corners at the other ... Strong, consistent hitter whose passing and driving created chances and earned territory ... Emerged as a positive leader.Hodder's Quotes: "She was the engine room of the team, full of energy and running ... She was also a captain and fantastic role model for the other players ... She plays officially in the center of midfield but will cover every blade of grass during a game ... She scored several goals from penalty corners and scared opposing defenses with her bullet-like shot ... Kristy is one of best individual players in Vermont."COURTNEY JIPNER, MOUNT ABE SENIOR. Notes: Quick, versatile player who sacrificed her offense by moving from forward to central midfield to quarterback the team ... Aggressive athlete with a knack for winning 50-50 balls and reading passing lanes ... Smart passer and individual defender who flew on defensive corners ... Scored two goals and assisted three, including two scores in the Eagles' playoff win. Stetson's Quotes: "She's the type of player any coach would want to have on the team. She was willing to accept any role to make the team better ... She had an amazing ability to help any player around her ... She just kept going and going and going ... Her skills speak for themselves ... She had an explosive step to the ball ... She wreaked chaos for opposing teams." TIFFANY AUDET, MUHS SENIOR. Notes: Three-year starter and dominant ball-winner at central midfield for MUHS ... Terrific stamina and quickness allowed her to be effective from start to finish and allow the Tigers to maintain possession ... Strong skills and driving ability kept the ball moving to the MUHS forwards ... Chipped in a goal and two assists ... Joined Pinkham and Jipner on the Vermont Twin-State team. Higgins' Quotes: "She's a complete player ... I'm impressed by her work ethic. She would come early to practice and stay after ... She ran hard to the final whistle. She wanted it so badly ... The stamina for her to be at both ends of the field was huge ... When she went to the ball, it was like a fire that inspired the whole team." KATIE RITTER, MUHS SENIOR. Notes: Picked up a field hockey stick for the first time in 2009, and led all local players in 2010 with 11 goals, adding five assists ... Used her speed on the right wing to get open, and learned to cross effectively into the circle ... Improved her touch near the goal, especially at the post. Higgins' Quotes: "She's a gifted athlete ... We all enjoyed watching her carry the ball down the right side of the field, and we enjoyed watching her send it like a rocket toward the cage ... The thing I wanted Katie to hear from me is I recognized how much she improved in two years and how hard she worked on the little things."SARA HIGGINS, MUHS SENIOR. Notes: Always an effective finisher, improved her field play both in handling the ball and setting up teammates ... Scored eight goals, many on quick shots on serves or loose balls ... Improved field awareness showed up in her local high of eight assists. Higgins' Quotes: "The improvements Sara made away from the goal were working on her speed in the offseason, and once she got to the ball she made good decisions ... She became more successful coming away with the ball ... She was an improved passer ... What I loved about her was her ability to one-time it in." CHRISSY RITTER, MUHS JUNIOR. Notes: Assertive, speedy athlete who contributed seven goals and three assists this fall ... North-south player who used her quickness and stick skills to take on defenders and advance straight at the opponents' goal ... Also showed good field vision and ability to distribute. Higgins' Quotes: "I do think that she's got a lot within her still, but that being said she's still one of the strongest players on the field ... She really cares and wants the team to do well ... Her speed and her improvement beating the defense one-on-one made her effective ... She was direct and aggressive on offense."MEGAN ROCKWELL, MOUNT ABE SENIOR. Notes: Midfield sparkplug for the Eagles who, like Jipner, could also have been an effective scorer ... Two-way player who marked and read passing lanes well on defense, and had the skills and vision to create chances for her teammates ... Tireless, quick player who seemed to get stronger in second halves ... Had two assists. Stetson's Quotes: "She's just real consistent ... She comes out with the ball ... She had good strong crossing passes ... She was very solid in that (defensive) role. She transitioned well back to defense, and right away gave us a good step out on offense." BRANDI WHITTEMORE, MUHS JUNIOR. Notes: Fast two-way midfielder with a strong drive ... Used her speed to recover and help the Tigers in the back, and improved her defensive skill-set ... Put pressure on opponents by routinely disrupting clears and sending the ball back into the circle ... Scored twice and set up a goal. Higgins' Quotes: "She has natural speed, which we relied on greatly ... Her conditioning level was impressive, and we could not have done without that piece, because we expected her to be lighting a fire under the offense and marking back defensively ... Her positive attitude was a plus for the team."MARINA VITAGLIANO, OV SENIOR. Notes: Center back who keyed the Otters' stingy defense with her skills, poise and communication skills ... Read plays well, allowing her to disrupt opponents advances before they became threatening ... Effective in tight quarters in the circle breaking up plays and sending the ball the other way ... Picked up one assist.Hodder's Quotes: "She was one of our captains and a leader both on and off the field ... Marina was a great organizer in the center of the defense and anticipator of dangerous situations ... She was very good at bringing the ball out of the circle and launching counter attacks."ALIZA KAMMAN, MOUNT ABE SENIOR. Notes: Always a steady defender, took a step forward this fall by improving her driving and passing out of the back ... Poised player with a good understanding of the game who helped keep the defense organized ... Three-year starter for the Eagles who also played midfield well in her career. Stetson's Quotes: "She did a good job shutting down very dangerous situations and anticipating things before they could develop against you ... She marked well. She made good defensive stops ... You could rely on her. She communicated well ... She knew when to possess the ball and when to give up the ball ... She was very calm and collected." CHELSEA ROBBINS, OV JUNIOR. Notes: Two-year starter in goal who racked up nine shutouts in 15 games, stopping 67 of 80 shots ... Stopped four of five penalty strokes vs. Woodstock in the D-II semifinal ... Showed excellent reflexes and technique as well as the understanding of when to leave the cage and clear the ball our of harm's way. Hodder's Quotes: "Chelsea excelled this season in goal ... She's a good talker and organizer as well as a top shot stopper ... When the opposition did manage to get to her she was always alert to the danger and quick off her line to snuff out attacks."Andy Kirkaldy may be reached at [email protected].

Park City Group has record quarter
As one of the few publically traded companies in the area, the Park City Group is taking off, announcing record numbers for its fiscal second quarter which ended December 31, 2012. Park City Group is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider and launched a "supply chain solutions" for retailers and suppliers, the Park City Group Global Food Registry.
"Business is wonderful," said Randall Fields, the Park City Group's Chairman and CEO. "In part, retailers and suppliers are concerned with food safety, and more and more they are concerned with tracking out-of-stock and over-stocked products. We help them with that. You could say we are hitting on all eight cylinders; every part of the business is doing well."
"We had wins selling additional supply chain management services to existing customers, which is a validation for the value of our end-to-end supply chain solutions," he added " The scale of these retailers, all of which are among the largest in the world, is an order of magnitude greater than most of our existing customers and should provide for accelerated growth as we move through the phases of implementation."
The Park City Group Global Food Registry, which was created as a way to track food from shipment to shipment all along the food chain, works to provide a new system in pinpointing where food borne illnesses originate. And with the food tracking software, the company hopes to add ways to track medicinal drug manufacturing in the United States, ReposiTrak, Inc.
Before the software was launched, the system for tracking food borne illnesses was done manually, Fields said, and that there was no electronic system in place to track food. Because outbreaks are traced the old fashioned way, Fields said it would take a month or more to find the origins of an outbreak and all the places the contaminated food ended up.
"Food supply is very opaque," he said. "We try to make it apparent. When problems around food safety occur, people think about what we do."
Subscription revenue to the registry grew by 16 percent in the first quarter, a record $2 million in sales to new and existing customers, a press release from the company stated. The company also had a record in year-to-date subscription revenue, $3.9 million or a 14 percent increase from the previous year.
Other revenue streams from the company decreased slightly, an approximated $0.2 million, which was expected with the strategic shift to the recurring subscription revenue model, placing total estimated revenue increasing by 4 percent or $2.7 million.
"I think people should be increasingly happy with how we are performing," Fields said. "As a CEO, I am so pleased with the performance of our team and am very excited about our outlook."
"From where we stand today, we expect to achieve record results for the fiscal year," he added. " our business should deliver predictable and sustainable growth in revenue and earnings for the next several years."
