Making history at course No. 2
Pinehurst's legendary golf course No. 2 will once again make history this month when both the Men's and Women's U.S. Opens will be contested, back to back, on its diabolical greens (June 12–22). The course at Pinehurst Resort in Moore County has served as the site of more championships than any other course in America.
Historic Pinehurst's origins date to 1895, when Boston soda fountain magnate James Walker Tufts arrived in the mostly barren Sandhills with an eye toward building a health resort. He hired a talented young Scot named Donald Ross to build him a few golf courses, from which the challenging No. 2 was created.
While Ross would go on to design more than 400 courses, it is No. 2 that usually is followed by these words: "Donald Ross' masterpiece." His courses' hallmark is their undulating, natural look. (Interestingly, although Ross loved golf he refused to bet a dime on it, saying he thought betting demeaned the courtly sport.)
ESPN and NBC will broadcast more than 40 hours of live coverage for the events. For more about the U.S. Open Championships and Ross, visit usopen.com and pinehurst.com!

In developerWorks DataPower Forum thread "FETCH action datapower stylesheet equivalent."
Suresh pointed out that document() function is the equivalent of a FETCH action in a stylesheet for fetching XML data.
The equivalent for a FETCH action in the general case is
since it allows fetching of binary/Nox-XML data (advanced tab of FETCH action) by

it was demonstrated how to process binary (Non-XML) data returned by a
These postings showed that DataPower internal encoding is UTF-8:
So in case the Non-XML document returned (binaryNode) is UTF-8 encoded further processing can easily be done by the method proposed in this posting:
"..." response="binaryNode"/> select="dp:decode(dp:binary-encode($respone/result/binary),'base-64')"/>...
The advantage of dp:decode(_,'base-64') is that it does a UTF-8 validation and preventes negative effects.

You've finally done it… written your novel. It's complete. All those words down in one place. And you're no fool. You've got an editor all lined up. But wait.
Is it really ready for the editor yet?
When you say it's done, is this the best it can be or did you just finish your rough draft? If you just finished typing 'The End,' you've still got a lot of work to do before you're ready for the editor. You've still got some revisions of your own to do after your rough draft. Maybe this scene isn't the best it can be. Maybe Sally should have made a different decision after that first plot point, because if she did, the whole second act would have been so much more interesting. Maybe the climax of the story still needs some work because it's good, but it's still oh, I don't know, it's missing something.
Once you've wrestled with all of this and straightened it out, then it's time for your trusted beta readers, or your mom, or whoever you feel will give you the best feedback. Once you get a copy back all covered in oil stains from your mechanic (because he has true literary insight, even though he messes up your manuscripts) and you hear his critique, you can go back, fix what you truly feel needs to be fixed, and then take one more look at it. Are you finished preparing your manuscript yet?
When you think you can't make it any better than it is, run it through spell check. I know it won't catch everything (like words that are spelled correctly but used incorrectly), but it will save a few of the hairs left on your editor's head. Look at it again. Have you dotted all your i's? Crossed all your t's? Do your sentences have punctuation and capital letters? If not, you may need to review some basics. If you know they belong there and just didn't put them in, put them in. Do you really want to pay your editor extra to put them in for you?
Okay, now you can send your manuscript to your editor. Your editor will appreciate all of your hard work.
You know all those horror stories about editors? About how mean they are? How they'll tear your manuscript to pieces? A lot of that stems from receiving manuscripts that were really rough drafts. That didn't have sentences starting with capital letters. That didn't have punctuation at the end of sentences. That had paragraphs that lasted for pages. Dialogue without meaning that went on and on. Missing plot points, garbled structure, cardboard characters, flip flopping between tenses and points of view, repetitive anything… After awhile, editors develop twitches. And headaches. And then they begin to morph into editing monsters that lash out uncontrollably at anything that passes by that even remotely resembles a manuscript. They can't help themselves. They hoard red pens compulsively and growl at anyone who dares reach for one. (That's MY red pen, damn it!) Please, for the love of God, save an editor today! Prep your manuscript properly or we can't be responsible for what may happen next! :::eye twitches:::
:::clears throat::: Okay. Sorry about that. But it had to be said. Writers, learn your craft. Hold your head high. Be proud of what you do. Step out and say, "Damn it, I'm a writer." Own it. Be responsible for what you put on a page. Don't get sloppy. It's your name on the cover, not the editor's.
It's amazing what a difference it makes to get a manuscript that looks well prepared. Yes, there may be shallow characters, missing plot points, repetition, and flip flopping tenses, but presentation at least shows us that the author cares enough to make it look nice. Presentation can soothe a lot of ruffled editing feathers. Nice editor. There, there.
Once your book is edited, it's up to you what you want to do with it. You can self-publish. You can submit your story to agents. If an agent accepts it, they will probably suggest their own edits and you'll comply. Then when they sell your story to a publisher, they'll also send you through another editing process.
Even so, it all comes back to you. You're the one writing and preparing your manuscript. Do it with pride.

Orthorexia Nervosa - Signs, Symptoms, Treatment, and Recovery. Our Fairfax, VA Center for Discovery specializes in treating this Eating Disorder.
Orthorexia is an eating disorder characterized by having an unsafe obsession with healthy food. The term is derived from the Greek word "orthos," which means, "right" and "rexia" which means, "hunger". Therefore this terms literally means "righteous eating". An obsession with healthy dieting and consuming only pure foods becomes deeply rooted in the individual's way of thinking to the point that it interferes with their daily life. Examples of severe eating disturbances seen in orthorexia include eating only fruits and vegetables or only consuming organic food. Although orthorexia is not included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), it is still recognized by many mental health professionals and eating disorder experts.
Unhealthy and obsessive thoughts, emotions and behaviors about eating "clean" or "healthy" food can drive individuals to isolate themselves from their friends and family, causing a strain on their social life and personal relationships. Additionally, their health can take a toll if they restrict too many food groups resulting in the elimination of necessary nutrients and vitamins. The following are known signs and symptoms of orthorexia:
The term orthorexia was first coined by Dr. Steven Bratman M.D. in 1996 and has gained a large audience of followers including many professionals in the psychiatry and eating disorder world. "Healthy eating" is not healthy when it becomes an overwhelming obsessive behavior creating conflicts within the inner self. Unlike individuals with anorexia nervosa who are obsessed with losing weight or preventing weight gain, individuals with orthorexia may not be obsessed with their weight but instead are obsessed with healthy eating. However, both of these populations have an underlying problem with self-control.
Orthorexia can result in severe health problems such as malnourishment leading to protein deficiency disorders that can harm the kidneys and other vital organs. Additionally, the presence of co-occurring disorders such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and substance abuse disorders can increase the morbidity and mortality associated with orthorexia.
Our Fairfax, VA Orthorexia recovery treatment approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy and nutritional counseling. Cognitive behavioral therapy allows the individual to recognize their unhealthy obsessive thoughts. Understanding the underlying issues such as self-control, depression or a past history of trauma or neglect can allow the individual to understand why these obsessive thoughts are occurring and learn ways to channel these negative thoughts into more positive ways of thinking. Positive and healthy behaviors such as problem-solving skills, communication skills and healthy coping mechanisms are also taught to our patients so they can use these tools to prevent harmful behaviors associated with their eating habits. Nutritional counseling is also recommended to educate patients on the importance of eating a balanced diet and to help them be more of accepting of other types of foods.
Center For Discovery Fairfax, VA specializes in residential treatment for orthorexia nervosa with unique treatment programs for every individual to get them on their way to eating disorder recovery.

About SealyOver a century of expertise in spring design and manufacture.
Lie on any Sealy mattress and you channel a century and a quarter of mattress ingenuity. A journey that began in 1881 in the town of Sealy, Texas, when Daniel Haynes, cotton gin builder, filled a request for a cotton-filled mattress. And then another. And then another. His business grew exponentially, which led to more innovations and several patents. Among them, a machine that compressed cotton. Fifteen years later, Haynes sold his patents to a Texas Company that retained the Sealy handle. Soon after, ad exec Earl Edwards penned the slogan
Sleeping on a Sealy is like sleeping on a cloud.
And with that, Sealy mattresses were a national phenomenon. By 1920, Sealy had 23 licensed plants in many regions. Even in the face of the Great Depression, they managed to not only stay afloat, but to introduce a new product–the Button-Free Innerspring. The innovations didn't end there. Sealy continued their quest for the world to sleep better for decades to come. Milestones include the introduction of the Sealy Posturepedic mattress in the US. Being the first mattress company to display and advertise a king-sized bed. Creating an Orthopedic Advisory Board. Reinventing the innerspring coil and the box spring. Patenting a variety of ground-breaking technologies, including Posture Channels and Pressure Relief Inlays designed to relieve pressure points that cause tossing and turning. And the list continues to grow to this day. For three decades, Sealy has been supporting people around the world, now sold in over 60 countries, Sealy is poised to continue its legacy for years to come.

By Ed Harris
The Southington Police Department celebrated the heroes within its ranks recently, with a special awards ceremony held at the high school.
This is the fourth year of the ceremony, which recognizes Southington Police Officers and the hard work and dedication to their job and the community.
The department originally had such a program-implemented by former Chief Phil D'Agostino in 1989, but it fell by the wayside when D'Agostino left shortly after instituting it. Chief John Daly reinstated the program four years ago.
The officers were awarded a small cloth ribbon. The awards are modeled after those worn by the military. An officer will wear his ribbon on the right side of their dress uniforms, right above the name tag.
There are 13 awards available to the officers. These include awards for a police Purple Heart, public safety, medal of valor, honor guard achievement, public appreciation, education achievement and excellent police work.
The awards are colored differently, in accordance with the honor that they represent. Many officers were awarded more than one award. Along with the achievement and command level awards, police officials also awarded other special citations and commendations.
This year also included a special distinguished service citation for Storm Alfred. This was broken down into four categories, based on how many hours an officer worked during the October snowstorm last year. Some officers worked more than 30 hours straight.
"This was a memorable year for Southington and the police force," said Capt. Ed Pocock III.
Retired police officer George Trostel received the SPD Order of the Police Cross, a civilian award.
Trostel was hired as a supernumerary officer in 1970 and was appointed full time in 1972. He served 21 years until he once again became a supernumerary officer in 1993. He retired in 2011.
He has been active with the Southington Explorer Post #57 for eight years and is currently the post advisor. He has attended the Explorer Academy for the past seven years, guiding the group to several awards and accommodations.
Officers Nathan Boislard, John Mahon, Chris Lamarre, David Carbone, Thomas Gorr, K-9 Arno and Sgt. Jason Watson were awarded commendations for bravery.
On June 8, officer Boilsard responded to a call at a bar involving an intoxicated, combative man with a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol. A struggle ensued after the man refused Boilsard's commands to take his hand off of the grip of the weapon and the man was disarmed forcibly.
Officers Mahon, Lamarre, Gorr, Carbone, Sgt. Watson and K-9 Arno responded to a call of a depressed male threatening to kill his parents on June 17. The parents, trapped in the home, believed their son was in possession of a rifle. The officers evacuated the parents and the surrounding homes. The barricaded suspect was taken into custody later by the Emergency Response Team (ERT).
"I truly appreciate the work the officers do," said Southington Police Chief John Daly. "I am convinced that the Southington Police Department is the best in the state."

North Zone
Punjab qualified for the knock-outs and maintained their unbeaten run in the tournament with a crushing 10-wicket win over Himachal Pradesh in Dharamsala. It was their fourth win in the tournament. The win was set up by 19-year-old seamer Sandeep Sharma, who picked up his first List A five-wicket haul. Himachal were 65 for 1 in the 11th over, but Sadeep triggered a batting collapse which saw the home side stumble to 83 for 8 in the 20th over. They soon folded for 129 in the 31st over.
In response, Punjab openers comfortably overhauled the target in the 25th over. Chandan Madan remained unbeaten on 40, while Ravi Inder Singh, the more aggressive of the two, scored 76 with 10 fours and a six. Punjab took five points from the game and are placed at the top of the North Zone table.
Delhi joined Punjab in the knock-outs after cruising to a 35-run win (by VJD method) against Services, who scored 205 for 7 in 38 overs (reduced due to fog) in Bilaspur.
Delhi took advantage of the moist conditions and chose to field, reducing Services to 55 for 3 after Pradeep Sangwan struck first and Sumit Narwal picked the subsequent two wickets. Rajat Paliwal and Yashpal Singh took the score past 100 and Yashpal went on to score 52. A knock of 44 from Devender Lochab took Services to a respectable score. Delhi lost their opener Dhruv Shorey early, but Unmukt Chand (64) and Puneet Bisht (78) took the match away from Services with a 129-run partnership. Once Chand was dismissed in the 30th over, the match was stopped due to bad light, at which point Delhi had to be 138 to win and they were 172 for 3 already.
Haryana got a consolatory victory in the tournament when they beat Jammu & Kashmir by 40 runs in Nadaun. The win was set up by two lower-order fifties from Rahul Dalal (56) and Harshal Patel (69) after the hosts were reduced to 102 for 7, because of three wickets from Parvez Rasool and two each from Zahoor Sofi and Manik Gupta. Dalal and Patel put on 109 for the eighth wicket and Haryana finished at 230 for 9 in 50 overs.
After J&K were given a steady start by their openers, Amit Mishra struck twice within seven balls. Spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Sonu Rathee took three wickets each after that and dismissed J&K for 190. Ahmed Bandy (53) and Rasool (47) did the bulk of the scoring at the top of the order but their efforts went in vain.
East Zone
Bengal's place in the knock-outs is still uncertain after they lost to Tripura by two wickets in a low-scoring thriller in Kolkata. Put in to bat first, Bengal were dismissed for a meagre 121 in 33.3 overs, as Udit Patel finished with figures of 4 for 17 and Bunti Roy and Timir Chanda took two each.
Shami Ahmed made sure Tripura's chase was not a smooth ride with two wickets in his second over. Sanjib Sanyal also chipped in with two wickets, leaving Tripura at 62 for 5 after Gaurav Bhatia made 32. However, an unbeaten knock of 34 from Timir Chanda took Tripura home even though they were losing wickets at the other end.
Assam stormed into the knock-outs when they won a low-scoring match against Jharkhand by six wickets. Jharkhand were put in to bat, but lost wickets regularly throughout their innings. Only Ishank Jaggi (27) and Sunny Gupta (26) provided some resistance as the rest of the batting wilted, being dismissed for 116. Offspinner Gokul Sharma finished with figures of 4 for 32.
Assam's reply was shaky at the start, when they were 44 for 3 after 9.3 overs. However, a 69-run stand for the fourth wicket between Gokul and Tarjinder Singh effectively quashed Jharkhand's chances of staging an upset. Assam reached their target in the 26th over and won their third match in a row.

Firewall Settings for Playstation 3, PS3 Firewall Ports
If your PlayStation 3 is operating slow, losing connection, or just not working right most of the time the chances are that you need to change some settings on your Internet router or firewall. Routers use NAT(Network Address Translation) to allow multiple devices to function behind the router as if they all have the public address that your ISP(Internet Service Provider) has provided to you. The PS3 requires various ports to be open to communicate with other users online as well as other ports to be opened to the PlayStation 3 for other games to function properly. Below I list these ports required for the PS3 to operate, ports required for certain games to operate, and followed by a brief explanation of what you need to look for in terms of configuring your router or firewall.

I think most of us started as "respectful skeptics". It is a good place to start, most people don't understand rebirth in the Buddhist tradition anyway without studying with a qualified lama. So if you accepted rebirth now it would probably be on the wrong premises anyway.Camellia wrote:Is there a place for someone who says "Whether or not he is someone's reincarnation doesn't matter, this Rinpoche is wise and I will learn from him what I can" to practice sutrayana-only, or is belief in reincarnation/tulkus and Vajrayana practice necessary for this path?
Good luck!

MSW Program
The University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work (GCSW), established by the Texas Legislature in 1967, provides master's level education for the practice of professional social work. The social work profession has as its primary goal the enhancement of social functioning of all persons as individuals, family members, community participants, and members of society.
Social work practice is concerned with promoting the well-being of all persons, ameliorating the harmful effects of unhealthy social environments, and striving to achieve social and economic justice. The social worker needs maturity, knowledge, and skill to provide direct services or to develop programs that encourage maximum development of human potential. Thus, the purposes of graduate social work education are to encourage a broad based perspective and value system, to provide knowledge for understanding and positively influencing human behavior and social systems, and to develop advanced skills for professional practice.
Accreditation: The MSW program has been fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education since 1970.
MSW Program Objectives
Our goal is to prepare students for responsible, professional practice. The program:
- Provides a sound base of knowledge and skills for professional practice.
- Socializes students to the social work profession, including its Code of Ethics and values.
- Conveys an understanding of the impact of racism, sexism, ageism, heterosexism, ethnocentrism, and classism on individuals, groups, social policies, and institutions.
- Contributes to the social work profession through knowledge building and research activities aimed toward improving social work practice, policies, and programs.
- Full Program (63 sch)
- Advanced Standing (38 sch for students with a BSW)
There are three enrollment model options for the MSW program:
- Face to Face
- Hybrid

Blackburn maintained their unbeaten record and their lead of the npower Championship, but they were fortunate to beat Barnsley at Ewood Park.
Jacob Mellis' angled drive gave the Tykes a deserved lead after 32 minutes but Jordan Rhodes equalised just before half-time against the run of play. And substitutes Fabio Nunes and Nuno Gomes then combined for the late winner, the veteran former Portugal striker with the finish to secure a 2-1 victory.
Second-placed Blackpool hammered Middlesbrough 4-1 as Nathan Delfouneso scored his first two goals for the club on his home debut. Andre Amougou pulled one goal back after the on-loan Aston Villa striker had put the Seasiders 2-0 up by the interval, only for Thomas Ince to make it 3-1 soon after, before Elliott Grandin pulled rank to convert a late penalty.

Jette Parker Young Artists take to the main stage tonight (19 July) in a special gala concert to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Young Artists' first summer performance in 2002.
Former Young Artists will join existing members of the programme on the main stage in a concert performance of Rossini's comic opera Il viaggio a Reims, a work distinguished by its demanding vocals and quirky cast of characters. The piece provides the perfect showcase for the rising stars.
The Former Young Artists returning for the occasion are Daniele Rustioni (2008/9), Marina Poplavskaya (2005/7), Ailish Tynan (2002/4), Kai Rüütel (2009/11), Edgaras Montvidas (2001/3), Jacques Imbrailo (2006/8), Kostas Smoriginas (2007/9), Lukas Jakobski (2009/11) and Matthew Rose (2003/5).
The programme, which has welcomed singers, music staff and stage directors from 27 nationalities since its inception in 2001, is designed to nurture and support gifted artists at the start of their career. Artists work as salaried members of The Royal Opera for two years and receive training in all aspects of performance.
Find out more about a day in the life of a Jette Parker Young Artist with Madeleine Pierard, who will be singing the role of La Contessa di Folleville in tonight's performance.
Places on the programme are hotly contested, and only half a dozen artists are accepted each year.
Artistic Director David explains:
" I have been involved with the Programme since before it started as I was on the panel for the auditions for the very first intake. I am incredibly proud of the status it has achieved over the years, all the 75 Young Artists who have been through the Programme, and its many successful Linbury and summer performances."
The new intake for the 2012/13 season includes singers Dušica Bijelić, David Butt Philip, Michel de Souza and Ashley Riches; conductor/répétiteurs Michele Gamba and Paul Wingfield; and ballet pianist Helen Nicholas.
Find out more about the programme from former Young Artists. You can also listen to a performance by former Young Artists Kai Rüütel and Edgaras Montvidas on BBC Radio 3's In Tune.

Your morning roundup for June 21, the day we literally flushed money down the toilet. (Video h/t Disco Choo, and pay attention to Geovany Soto's face)
What we watched: The sudden, messy end to Jack Warner's run as FIFA vice president and CONCACAF president. The 68-year-old, who also serves as minister of works and transport in his native Trinidad and Tobago, resigned from his FIFA and CONCACAF posts yesterday amidst an investigation into a $1 million bribery scheme and charges that he'd tried to fix the FIFA presidential election on June 1 — which ended up fixed, anyway. It's nice, at first, to consider the move to be some kind of turning point for FIFA, which has always run on corruption instead of despite it — but it's clear that the investigation into Warner's dealings only took off because it so clearly threatened Sepp Blatter's career.
At a CONCACAF meeting in Trinidad and Tobago on May 10, Warner allegedly offered $40,000 to Caribbean soccer officials "on behalf of" Qatar's Mohamed bin Hammam to earn their votes in the June 1 election. Blatter went on to win unopposed, and FIFA continues to protect itself against any truly damning revelations: the organization, claiming lack of jurisdiction now that Warner is no longer a member, dropped its ethics inquiry as soon as he resigned and said in a statement that "the presumption of innocence was maintained." Which all makes it fairly easy to presume that in this traveling shit show, we can maintain that no one is innocent. (Emma Carmichael)
What we're watching: If you're a fan of college football scandals (and we're on the record as very much enjoying them), Oregon's shady recruiting business has been upgraded to DEFCON 2. NCAA invstigators have been poking around Willie Lyles, who "scouts" prep players. The Ducks paid him $25,000 last year, the same year touted prospect Lache Seastrunk chose to attend UO. This payment was on the Ducks' books, and was ostensibly for the information and video footage Lyles provided on various recruits. But the Oregonian got their hands on the informational packet Oregon received for their money, and it's getting harder to pretend that it's worth 25 grand.
The first clue that something's up with the "2010 National High School Evaluation Booklet" is that it's actually supposed to be about 2011 High School Graduates. The second clue is that inside the book, the vast majority of the prospect profiles actually graduated in 2009. Yes, the information purchased by Oregon is two years out of date and completely useless and it cost them $25,000, which is a bad deal unless it includes Lache Seastrunk, in which case it's a very very good deal.
Oregon's defense has been their stupidity: we assumed they weren't doing anything wrong because they would go to greater lengths to hide it if they were. But no, it's looking like an old fashioned recruiting scandal, and they're only getting caught because they failed to cover it up. If the NCAA comes down hard on Oregon, it'll only be because they didn't do their part to keep up the farce of college football. (Barry Petchesky)
You may have a favorite, but there's no favorite: "More often than not these days, Ivanovic is baffling. Few top players unravel so spectacularly (in Miami a few months ago, she was up 5-1, 40-0 in the third set before losing to second-ranked Kim Clijsters) or lose in the first round of majors so persistently. Three years ago, she was the no. 1 player in the world. A year ago, she ranked 65th. Today, she's officially no. 18, but the rank is more or less meaningless. She is among the most talented players on tour, but one of her talents seems to be squandering her chances. This volatility makes her interesting, at least to me. The unwinnable battle between psychology and skill is one of the most compelling reasons to watch tennis. A tennis court, after all, is the ideal arena for a clear look into the athlete mind. A player can't ask for help. She is alone inside the cage of those white lines. She can't even touch her opponent; she can only strike the ball. This compressed space makes for fascinating head cases. Ivanovic is special, even in the suddenly manic world of women's tennis. Watching her makes me want to pull out my own racket and smash it on her behalf." [Grantland]
What to do when your kid is a bandwagon fan: "Another complication is that my son likes to win and likes teams that win. Last summer's World Cup was the first major sporting event that he kept up with like a fan. We reenacted it daily, one on one. He played as the U.S. until they lost to Ghana, and the U.S. became my role for a few days, until Ghana lost to Uruguay. Now he is Spain when we play soccer and I must be the Netherlands, and I expect this will continue until 2014. Likewise, he noticed that the Yankees made the post-season last year and have been fighting for first place in the AL East, while the Mets fizzled in 2010 and are struggling to break .500. Rooting for a losing team has been character-building, or so I tell myself, but identifying with winners must have psychological benefits, too. And one father I know pointed out that life is hard enough without having to root for a bad team. Most friends say, however, that I'm not doing enough to steer my son toward the Mets. One of them, a Yankees fan whose bank-card PIN commemorates Bucky Dent's home run in the one-game playoff against the Red Sox, called my ambivalence an abrogation of my paternal responsibilities, a form of negligence that was almost criminal." [The New Yorker]
Sad face: "Comedy Central has declined to renew 'Sports Show with Norm Macdonald' for a second season. Featuring the former 'Saturday Night Live' performer, 'Sports Show' reached just below a million overall viewers in its most recent airing (June 7), after pulling in 1.0 million viewers for its Apr. 12 premiere. [Variety]
Ah, the days of Plato's Retreat: "Only weeks before, Marilyn had spoken with Allen's wife, asking her how many times a week it was normal to have sex. The implication was that Fritz was a somewhat reluctant bedroom partner, at least as far as Marilyn was concerned. As Allen later wrote in his book All Roads Lead to October, Susanne Kekich, whom he describes as 'a tall brunette—athletic-looking and aggressive,' seemed to be 'competing' with Marilyn for Fritz's attention. Hours later, Allen and his wife heard the Kekiches and Petersons still in the driveway, supposedly discussing the fine points of the swap. As dawn approached, the two couples, now realigned, went off in separate cars, agreeing to meet at an all-night diner in Fort Lee, New Jersey. Fritz and Susanne had already finished eating breakfast when Marilyn and Mike arrived, two hours later." [New York Magazine]
That Boise State kicker is going to play in the AFL: Of course he is. [KSL.com]
Sebastian Pruiti may know more about Ricky Rubio than David Kahn: "Rubio isn't just a ball hawk though, as the numbers show he is a very good on the ball defender as well. Teams have tried to use pick and rolls to get an advantage on Rubio, running him off of ball screens 48.9% of the time, but Rubio has done a good job defending off of screens. Rubio's opponents coming off of ball screens shoot 36.9% from the field while posting a PPP of just 0.683 (top 31 percentile) while forcing turnovers 25.4% of the time." [NBA Playbook]
Freestyle canoe interlude, featuring cousin from the wrong side of the tracks, freestyle kayak:
It's all that fresh air and magic underwear: "Some softball sluggers in Lehi, Utah, apparently don't know their own strength. City leaders have shut down the city men's softball league due to balls being hit out of Veterans Park, damaging property and striking moving vehicles." [KSL]

Tim Duncan watches the only man less funny than Tim Duncan: "At the Jabbawockeez show Friday at the Monte Carlo : 'Transformers' actor Anthony Anderson and San Antonio Spurs star Tim Duncan in separate parties. Earlier in the week, Duncan checked out Carrot Top's show at Luxor." [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
Joe Torre claims another arm: "Let's be clear, though: Wade says he doesn't blame Torre for the path his career took after his sensational rookie season. But he also doesn't run from questions about cause and effect.
'I'm sure there was some correlation,' he said. 'Looking back, I know now there are times you can't be a hero. If you're tired, that one extra day might be better for the team and for yourself. By always saying OK when you might not be, all of a sudden something can become a major issue, and you're looking at two weeks, a month, or even a year, like it cost me.'"[Daily News]
Student-athletes can and do get paid in the NCAA: "The valedictorian of his class at Rocky Mountain High School in Byron, Wyo., he was a two-time state wrestling champion and a national champion in high school rodeo. However, he may not have gone to Vernon, a two-year college in Texas, if the opportunity to make money was not there. Unlike basketball stars like Kobe Bryant or LeBron James, who went to the N.B.A. directly out of high school, Vezain did not have to make the choice between attending college and being a professional." [NY Times]
Badminton World Federation delays mandatory skirt rule: "A new Badminton World Federation (BWF) code had required all female players to wear skirts or dresses in major tournaments in order to "to ensure attractive presentation of badminton," but the rule has not been implemented after an outcry. This week's Singapore Open had been slated as the first tournament to implement the rule, but marketing manager for the BWF's Super Series S. Selvam said a decision was in limbo." [China Daily]

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth of July. I took the week off and was very much off-line and it was great. And there is a lot of sports news to filter through.
American League All-Star 1B
I follow baseball very lightly. I keep track of the MN Twins and have a general understanding of everything else going on.
I saw the AL Starting Line-Up for the All-Star game and I am going to play the "homer" card here. New York Yankees first base man, Mark Teixeira, was voted into the starting line-up over Twins slugger Justin Morneau and I have to say that I completely disagree. I will file this under "East Coast/Yankees basis", so I thought I would lay down some stats in some of the major offensive categories.
- Hits: MT – 83, JM – 101
Morneau also leads in OPS, SLG, and OBP. But I do not really know the calculations that make up these numbers.
Morneau *Stats pulled from ESPN.
|Ranks 3rd in AL in BA (.323)
|Ranks 2nd in AL in HR (21)
|Ranks 2nd in AL in RBI (69)
|Ranks 8th in AL in R (56)
|Ranks 5th in AL in OBP (.399)
|Ranks 1st in AL in SLG (.601)
|Ranks 1st in AL in OPS (1.000)
|Ranks 4th in AL in HR (20)
|Ranks 5th in AL in RBI (61)
|Ranks 6th in AL in BB (48)
|Ranks 8th in AL in SLG (.546)
|Ranks 8th in AL in OPS (.928)
Ok, I am done. I think I have proved my point. Morneau should start!
USA Soccer
I am a huge soccer rub and I watched the US team in the blowouts and the victories of the Confederations Cup and I was very impressed with the turn around Bob Bradley's team made from the group stage to the finals.
The US team proved they can compete and are a legit top-15 team in the world, but they need to play more consistent. As cliche' as that sounds, the US was incredible versus Egypt, Spain and Brazil and then very "sheepish" against Italy and Brazil – the first time.
Landon Donovanshowed he is a European level player, Oguchi Onyewu signed with AC Milan, and Jozy Altidore may get some time in Spain.
I am not completely convinced that Bob Bradley is the coach that can take the team to their full potential, but he did take a US team to the finals of a semi-major tournament that include soccer power houses.
There are concerns that the US brass to consider, but my major issue is this: How the hell is Freddy Adu not on the pitch? Other than Donovan and maybe Clint Dempsey, Adu is the most creative player on this roster who can create scoring opportunities in open play.
The back line is solid, goal keeping is top-notch, the mid-field is improved with Ricardo Clark playing the defensive holding midfielder, and speedster Charlie Davies is great counter-part to the strength of Altidore up front.
We will see how they handle the next step in the evaluation of a potentially strong team in the World Cup.
NBA Free Agency Grades
Rasheed Wallace to the Celtics = A. This makes sense for both sides. Wallace will get a chance at another title and the Celtics get KG knee insurance.
Hedu Turkaglu to the Raptors = B. Portland would have been a good fit, but I the roster is similar to the Magic, it will depend on the style.
Trevor Arizia to the Rockets = C+. Should have gone to LeBrons house. Rockets are in rebuilding mode, but if he stays could be a crucial part of the foundation.
Ben Gordon to the Pistons = B+. I don't know what this means for Richard Hamilton, but Gordon can score and the Pistons needs help.
Charlie Villanuevato the Pistons = B. Rasheed Wallace Jr. He will have the oppurtunity to grow and become a major player.
Marcin Gortatto the Mavericks = C. I am not sure why, unless he is there to replace Erik Dampier.
Ron Artestto the Lakers = A-. This move has the potential to be messy, but Artest is a good player now. Solid defensively and better than Arzia offensively. Lakers are better.
Over all, the teams made themselves better. Wallace and Artest are very short-term fixes, but their teams are pushing to the title now. It will be a tough year in the East and Houston is going to struggle without Yao and who knows what they will get from Tracy McGrady.

WASHINGTON, June 26 (UPI) -- The U.S. Commerce Department trimmed its first-quarter gross domestic product estimate sharply down to 1.8 percent in its final revision released Wednesday.
With weaker business investment and personal spending than previously considered, the department, in the third of its three estimates, cut its economic growth estimate for January through March from the previous figure of 2.4 percent.
Economists had expected the earlier estimate to hold up. But the Commerce Department said consumer spending rose 2.6 percent in the quarter. That was an improvement over the fourth quarter, when spending rose 1.8 percent, but it was a downgrade from the first-quarter estimate of 3.4 percent released a month ago.
Investment in non-residential structures was also revised, showing a spending decline of 8.3 percent. Previously, that spending on business structures was estimated at a decline of 3.5 percent.
Exports, previously listed as a 0.8 percent increase, were revised to indicated a decline of 1.1 percent. Imports were also revised lower, but imports count as a negative in the GDP figure, so fewer imports is an improvement.
The Commerce Department said investments in residential structures rose 14 percent, a slowdown from fourth-quarter growth of 17.6 percent but an improvement over the estimate in the previous GDP report that pegged spending on new homes up by 12.1 percent.

Canada Post shares a number of similarities with the U.S. Postal Service, including its founding by Benjamin Franklin in 1753 when both Canada and the 13 colonies were under British rule. Both posts are self-supporting, meaning they pay for their operations through the sale of postage and services. And Canada Post, like the Postal Service, has suffered volume losses the past few years.
Here's where things get different, though. Canada Post has adopted a radical plan to restore its financial health, featuring bold initiatives that might seem too politically difficult in the United States. Canada Post's five-point plan is intended to streamline operations, cut costs, and return the corporation to fiscal self-sufficiency by 2019.
The plan features:
Ending to-the-door residential delivery over 5 years. Two-thirds of Canadian residents already are without to-the-door delivery, so, while it is a major change, perhaps it is not as disruptive as it would be in other countries.
Upping the price of postage. Bought in bulk, stamps that now cost 63 cents (CAD) will be 83 cents. Bought singly, the same stamps will cost $1. The increase still needs approval from the regulator.
Streamlining via franchise post offices. Franchise post offices are more convenient for customers and less costly to operate. There's a moratorium, however, on closing existing rural post offices given their popularity among customers.
Increasing efficiency. Consolidation and technology improvements, including faster sorting equipment and more fuel-efficient vehicles, should improve operations. No resulting changes are expected in the corporation's fairly relaxed 2- to 4-day delivery standard for letter service, yet parcel delivery is expected to improve.
Reducing labor costs. Along with the service cuts, Canada Post said it would eliminate 8,000 jobs, mostly through attrition.
Canada's plan has met with criticism from opposition political leaders, labor unions, and some citizens. But Canada Post defends the plan saying without major operational changes it will lose $1 billion a year starting in 2020. It also faces a $6.5 billion pension fund shortfall.
What could the United States learn from the Canada Post plan? Are some of these initiatives worth trying in the United States? Or are they not the right approach for the U.S.? What cost-cutting and revenue-generating ideas should the Postal Service focus on?

Morning Five: 12.16.10 EditionPosted by jstevrtc on December 16th, 2010
Missouri has suspended sophomore point guard Michael Dixon indefinitely for a team rules violation that head coach Mike Anderson has declined to reveal. Dixon had been solid in directing traffic for the Tigers this season, averaging a team-best 4.3 APG and 2.4 SPG, leading the team in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.6), and hitting 82.5% from the free throw line (second on the team), in addition to his contribution of 10.7 PPG. Freshman Phil Pressey (3.8 PPG, 3.0 APG, 1.4 SPG) is Dixon's understudy, and it looks like it's the young fella's team until further notice.
Oklahoma freshman T.J. Taylor has decided to take his services elsewhere — at least we hope so. By that, we don't mean that we want Taylor to leave the Sooners (he's already decided on that), it's that we just want to him to eventually play somewhere. Taylor, a top-100 recruit overall and a top-20 point guard in last year's class, never played a second for OU, having suffered a concussion in the preseason. He's said to be leaving the school for personal reasons and headed to junior college, and the quotes from the linked story indicate that the split is an amicable one, but we hope he can put any physical or mental/personal blocks behind him and that we'll see T.J. back on a bigger stage soon, if that's what he wants.
Oh, Scoop Jardine. What happened, man? You somehow manage to overcome some pretty tall hurdles during your early days at Syracuse — and then this?? Hey, we've made mistakes, too. And we love your game, and acknowledge your apology, which we saw before you were taken down. But seriously, pardner…your newsworthiness should come from the classroom and the basketball floor. You're an upperclassman. You're so close; we think the Twitter hiatus is an appropriate move.
Rise up, Kenny "Mouse" McFadden disciples! The Cleveland Cavaliers are underwhelming their constituents to such a degree that some Free Stampers are deserting the Cavs for the local undefeated college team — namely, 12-0 Cleveland State — according to ABC affiliate WEWS. We can't advocate the abandonment of any team at any level just because they're not doing so hot, but we do love that people are taking time to head over and support the Vikings. We love the quote from CSU student Jessica Longstreet that finishes the article (and embedded video). We don't know Miss Longstreet, but with such insights, we think she deserves high honors in all of her courses this term.
Boy, can we get behind this: yesterday was the debut of College Basketball Today, the new college hoops talk show on Sirius XM. We're talking about daily roundball discussion from noon to 3 pm ET with former Vermont coach Tom Brennan (!), ESPN's Bob Valvano, some former-player perspective with Kenny Anderson and Jim Jackson, all tied together by NYC-based broadcaster Jason Horowitz. Many of us here are Sirius XM users [RTC Legal just handed me a memo asking me to remind our dear readers that any comment or endorsement found here about said satellite radio provider is unsolicited], and we're glad to see this niche filled, especially considering how much we enjoy the nightly selection of games when we're on the road. There's just one problem. The show's only on Wednesdays until — grrrrrooooooan — the end of the college football season, then it goes daily. Come on!!

June 13 Update.
Damage below seabed in the well bore
? And - Focus on damage control from BP and Whithouse.
June 11 oil spill update-
New estimate: Up to 40,000 barrels a day was coming from BP well
(CNN) So, I guess the 120,000 barrel a day estimate mentioned below is more correct than not, the way it is moving...
BP to Burn Oil on Gulf Surface
! In part it reads, "Once on board, the oil and gas collected from the well would be sent down a boom and burned at sea." They claim to hope to ignite and bake some 420,000 of crude oil on a daily basis! Hmmm. Well, I guess better than letting it float in the water and wash up on shore, but still sounds strange to dangerous to me.
The current, although leaking badly, funnel cap, is trapping about
462,000 gallons of leaking crude oil
, which is getting better, it would appear, at least on paper. Now, just click on the image below to see what it looks like down by the leaking oil well... If
that is 50% of what is leaking
then we have still 100% a major problem (
Video of Leaking oil around Containment cap
). They are now also reporting that BP will replace the current cap, with a new, tighter fitting containment cap in a month. (Yet again another risky attempt with ROV's thousands of feet below on the ocean floor. Nothing more on the scientists report that the wellhead itself, at the seabed was leaking from BP...
BP Containment Cap Making a Difference? (image of

Coast Guard said today that by July, BP will have this leak to a trickle. Let us hope so. The market makers, on the other hand do not seem to buy it...

+ Live Ships Map of clean-up efforts-
Almost a week ago now we saw the

lowered onto the cut portion of the riser on the BOP on-top of the BP Deepwater oil well. (Caught use of

Looks like BP will let the world watch live via the video feed the "Top-Kill" attempt to stop the well from leaking or spilling:
Throughout the extended top kill procedure – which may take up to two days to complete - very significant changes in the appearance of the flows at the seabed may be expected. These will not provide a reliable indicator of the overall progress, or success or failure, of the top kill operation as a whole. BP will report on the progress of the operation as appropriate and on its outcome when complete.

I can't find any live feed that does not require a plug-in that for some reason is not available. Yesterday there was "live" feed all over the place that did not require this plug-in, today, nothing that does not. So... what the heck is going on? I don't trust any TV; they were running footage up to two weeks old, zoomed in so you couldn't see the timestamp. Sleazy bastards.
Anyone have an update?

President Thomas S. Monson told Latter-day Saints gathered worldwide on Sunday morning that whenever they are inclined to feel burdened down with the blows of life, to remember that others have passed the same way, have endured and then have overcome.
"The history of the Church in this, the dispensation of the fullness of times, is replete with the experiences of those who have struggled and yet who have remained steadfast and of good cheer," he said. "The reason? They have made the gospel of Jesus Christ the center of their lives.
"This is what will pull us through whatever comes our way. We will still experience difficult challenges, but we will be able to face them, to meet them head on, and to emerge victorious."
President Monson said that six months ago, as Church members gathered for general conference, his sweet wife lay in the hospital, having suffered a devastating fall just a few days earlier. "In May, after weeks of valiantly struggling to overcome her injuries, she slipped into eternity," he said. "Her loss has been profound."
President Monson said he married his wife Oct. 7, 1948, in the Salt Lake Temple. "Tomorrow would have been our 65th wedding anniversary. She was the love of my life, my trusted confidant and my closest friend. To say that I miss her does not begin to convey the depth of my feelings."
President Monson said his testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the knowledge that his wife lives still is of utmost comfort to him during this tender time of passing.
"I know that our separation is temporary," he said. "We were sealed in the House of God by one having authority to bind on earth and in heaven. I know that we will be reunited one day and will never again be separated. This is the knowledge that sustains me."
No person has ever lived entirely free of suffering and sorrow, nor has there ever been a period in human history that did not have its full share of turmoil and misery, President Monson explained.
"The difficulties which come to us present us with the real test of our ability to endure," he said. "A fundamental question remains to be answered by each of us: Shall I falter, or shall I finish? Some do falter as they find themselves unable to rise above their challenges. To finish involves enduring to the very end of life itself."
While traveling the world as the leader of the Church, President Monson said he has come to know many things — not the least of which is that sadness and suffering are universal.
"I cannot begin to measure all of the heartache and sorrow I have witnessed as I have visited with those who are dealing with grief, experiencing illness, facing divorce, struggling with a wayward son or daughter or suffering the consequences of sin," he said. "The list could go on and on, for there are countless problems which can befall us."
President Monson said whenever he thinks of challenges his thoughts turn to Brother Brems, one of his boyhood Sunday School teachers. In 1968, he lost his wife. As the years went by, two of his children also passed away. At age 105, Brother Brems asked his family to call President Monson to his bedside. Brother Brems was blind and deaf and communicated as letters were traced on the palm of his hand. President Monson gave Brother Brems a blessing. "Afterward, tears streamed from his sightless eyes. He grasped our hands in gratitude. Although he had not heard the blessing we had given him, the Spirit was strong, and I believe he was inspired to know we had provided the blessing which he needed.
"This sweet man could not longer see. He could no longer hear. He was confined night and day to a small room in a care center. And yet the smile of his face and the words he spoke touched my heart. 'Thank you,' he said. 'My Heavenly Father has been so good to me.'"
Heavenly Father knows that His children learn and grow and become stronger as they face and survive trials, President Monson said.
"We know that there are times when we will experience heartbreaking sorrow, when we will grieve and when we may be tested to our limits. However, such difficulties allow us to change for the better, to rebuild our lives in the way our Heavenly Father teaches us, and to become something different from what we were — better than what we were, more understanding than what we were, more empathetic than what we were, with stronger testimonies than we had before."
President Monson said only the Master knows the depth of "our trials, our pain and our suffering. He alone offers us eternal peace in times of adversity."
In good times and hard times, the Master is there, President Monson said. "He has promised that this will never change.
"My brothers and sisters, may we have a commitment to our Heavenly Father that does not ebb and flow with the years or the crisis of our lives. We should not need to experience difficulties for us to remember Him, and we should not be driven to humility before giving Him our faith and trust.
"May we ever strive to be close to our Heavenly Father. To do so, we must pray to Him and listen to Him every day. We truly need Him every hour, whether they be hours of sunshine or of rain."

While in Maine, I was thinking a lot about color. Partly because I was working on my hexagon quilt and playing with different arrangements, and partly because these days, I am playing more with photography and enjoying learning more about it in the process. I take my camera just about everywhere with me lately (except the bayou, of course, a huge resounding "doh!" there on my part). Anyhoo, I was thinking of doing a week of color, like some folks did last year, where every day, I devote a post to a specific color. Then yesterday, I read Susan's post and learned about this. I am so in! Since I am just jumping into this today, I'll start with green and work my way into the blues for next Tuesday.
Also, I have to say I am utterly in love with hula seventy. I adore Andrea's aesthetic, and her photography just blows me away. Her writing is thoughtful and compelling. I was completely drawn into her world of color and photography and beauty and inspiration.
Here's a sneak peek at some projects I am working on now that as sprinkles of serendipity just happen to be green:

Marijuana use has been a controversial subject since the beginning of time. People have long used this agent with hopes of achieving a euphoric state. It is practically illegal to consume in most of the continental United States. Yet, there are people who feel the need to use marijuana under the guides that it is an herb and is something that is beneficial for the body. The biggest claim is that it "can cure" cancer. The issue that I find with that statement is that I have yet to see anyone with cancer be cured from smoking marijuana or consuming marijuana enriched products. Cannabis smokers love to cling to the fact that it is a natural plant. We find that the plant is frequently used more for recreational usage than for medicinal purposes. Tetrahydrocannabinol (also known as THC) is the main active ingredient in marijuana. It is responsible for being the catalyst for altering the mind.
As far as health is concerned, there does not seem to be much benefit for people who consume cannabis. Besides appetite enhancement, analgesia in cancer patients and glaucoma management there really are no other serious benefits to marijuana consumption. One of the biggest issues with gleaning the few benefits of cannabis is that one is required to constantly use the plant to experience a tangible effect. By doing so, it causes you to be high the majority of the time. It is not necessary for your cognitive functions to be consistently altered for you to receive such minute or insignificant results that can be achieved through alternative means.
The technical definition of a drug is anything that is isolated and concentrated from its original source. In its purest form, I'm quite sure that marijuana is not as bad as it is made out to be. However, once you begin to add and subtract substances from the equation under the auspices of fortifying the plant, things can get tricky.
Let's name a few of the side effects of cannabis consumption for those who believe that marijuana consumption is a healthy thing.
1. The moment you consume marijuana your heart rate speeds up and the bronchial passages begin to relax. Blood vessels in your eyes start to swell making your eyes turn red and slightly close.
2. The THC in cannabis alters the mind's ability to process information because of the effect it has on the hippocampus. The hippocampus is section of the brain that is responsible for processing memory information. As you grow older and continue to consume the weed the neurons of the hippocampus begin to die making it harder for you to recall things from your memory.
3. If you begin consuming marijuana in your teenage years it will have a more harsh effect on you. Studies show that consumption of cannabis in these early years can lead to dropping out of high school, lowering cognitive abilities, pushing you into stronger drugs and lower IQ scores.
Based on the information provided in this article one has to ask themselves if it would be worth the trouble to consume weed. Unless you have cancer or a severe degenerative disease and you are seeking pain relief then it is a waste of time. If you are just simply along for a euphoric ride then you must recognize the facts associated with the overconsumption of the drug.

Harvey ready to step from diploma to Draft
Hunter Harvey is ready for two of the biggest events of his life.
First, the 18-year-old will graduate from Bandys High School on Friday evening at the Catawba Valley Community College's Tarlton Complex arena in Hickory, N.C. Less than two weeks later, he'll take the first step toward his future career -- the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, set for June 6-8 in New York.
Hunter Harvey is ready for two of the biggest events of his life.
First, the 18-year-old will graduate from Bandys High School on Friday evening at the Catawba Valley Community College's Tarlton Complex arena in Hickory, N.C. Less than two weeks later, he'll take the first step toward his future career -- the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, set for June 6-8 in New York.
"Oh yeah, I can't wait for either one," Harvey said. "I'm ready. I've been working toward this my whole life."
Harvey, a 6-foot-3, 175-pound right-hander, has been a fast climber on prospect charts the past two years and is being projected as a likely first-round pick in this year's Draft. That would be the first big step in what has been a 10-year project for Harvey, the son of former Major League pitcher Bryan Harvey.
"I guess we started working toward this when he was little," the senior Harvey said. "That's all he's ever wanted to do; heck, it's all he's ever been around. Baseball's always been a part of our family."
Bryan Harvey wasn't just any ordinary Major Leaguer -- for a time in the early 1990s, he was one of the game's top closers.
In nine seasons with the California Angels and Florida Marlins, Bryan Harvey recorded 177 saves -- including a league-best 46 in 1991, when he was named the American League's best reliever -- and twice played in the All-Star Game (1991 and 1993).
Although young Harvey never got to see his father pitch in the Majors -- he wasn't born until December 1994, the winter before his father retired -- the influence was still a powerful one for him and older brother Kris, a second-round Draft pick by the Marlins in 2005 and now a pitcher in the Pirates organization.
Although Bryan -- who spent several years as a Minor League pitching coach at Class A Asheville and Double-A Tulsa before establishing his own baseball academy last year -- taught his son the mechanics of pitching, Hunter said his father also taught him things even more important to a Major Leaguer.
"He told me what he had to do to succeed -- all the working out and all that," Hunter said. "[But] he said one thing I had to get over was failure. The guys that can handle failure will be the ones who succeed. That's definitely been the hardest part for me."
In fact, Hunter got a taste of that last June while playing for the regional team in the 2012 North Carolina State Games against some of the state's best high school players.
"In my first game, I had one of the worst games I've ever had," Hunter said. "I gave up two home runs, and nothing was working for me. But my dad came up to me after the game and said, 'I'm glad that happened, just so you have a taste of what a bad night's going to feel like. You've got to get over it and do what you need to do to get better.'"
Other than that, Hunter hasn't had much in the way of failure the last two years.
As a junior, in 2012, he went 7-0 with a 1.81 ERA and 106 strikeouts in 54 innings for Bandys High. This past season he went 8-0 with a 0.38 ERA and 116 strikeouts in 54 2/3 innings.
Although the stats could be written off to the level of competition, what Hunter did during two national showcase events in August 2012 couldn't -- and it put him on the scouts' radars. Hunter turned heads with a fastball that was consistently in the mid-90s and topped out at 97 -- the fastest he'd ever thrown the ball -- along with a consistent curveball during the East Coast Professional Showcase, which annually draws more than 300 scouts to Syracuse, N.Y.
"Once we started seeing those numbers [on the fastball], I had an idea that he could possibly get drafted," Bryan said. "We went through this before with Kris, and the magic number all the scouts want to see is 94, 95 [mph]."
Then, two weeks later, Hunter got a starting nod and went three innings in the Under Armour All-America Game, played at Wrigley Field. So when Bandys' season began in March, so did the calls to head coach Frank Porter -- primarily from scouts wanting to know when Hunter would be pitching. It wasn't unusual for a dozen or more Major League scouts to be in the stands during Hunter's appearances, radar guns and clipboards in hand.
"He likes to goof off and have fun like other kids, but when the guns were on him and eyes were on him analyzing every move, he'd bear down," Porter said. "It really made him focus more before the game rather than wait until the game started."
Hunter also eschewed playing on a travel team during the summer, playing a limited American Legion schedule while taking part in an extensive offseason workout program at Diamond Dreams Design, his father's facility in southeastern Catawba County, N.C.
The Harveys also waved off the major college programs that came calling after hearing the numbers Hunter was putting up, and for good reason -- had he entered a four-year college, he would have had to wait another three years before being eligible for the Draft.
"I don't want to play games with anybody, so we've told everybody all along that we want to sign [with a Major League team]," Bryan said. "[Hunter] wants to go play baseball. That puts nothing in the way -- they know his signability is there.
"I knew we would never commit to a four-year school, but there's a couple of junior colleges that we really like. If things don't work out in a couple of weeks, I don't think it'll be a problem getting him into one of them."
Going on the first day of the Draft shouldn't be a problem for Hunter -- he's projected to be a certain first-round pick by experts, including MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo, who had him going 25th to the Giants in his first mockup. But where he winds up in the Draft order and to which team doesn't matter to Hunter.
"I'll play for anybody -- the name of the team ain't going to change how I play," he said. "Whoever gets me, gets me, and I'll just go and do my thing -- trying to get to the big leagues."
