- For the sunken atoll in India, see Angria Bank. Angria is also the name of a paracosm (fictional world) created and written about by English novelist Charlotte Brontë and her brother Branwell during their childhood.
Angria or Angaria (German: Engern) is a historical region in the present-day German states of Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. The chronicler Widukind of Corvey in his Res gestae saxonicae sive annalium libri tres denoted it as the central region of the medieval Duchy of Saxony lying along the middle reaches of the Weser river between Westphalia and Eastphalia. Its name was derived from the Germanic Angrivarii tribe which had joined the Saxon tribal confederation, and it was centered on the town of Minden, see of a bishopric since 803.
The Angrivarii lands were conquered by Charlemagne during the Saxon Wars; according to the Royal Frankish Annals the Angrian commanders concluded a separate peace agreement with the Carolingian Empire near Bückeburg in 775. In the course of the deposition of the Saxon duke Henry the Lion by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa in 1180, most parts of Angria was attached to the Duchy of Westphalia held by the Archbishops of Cologne, while the Ascanian count Bernhard of Anhalt received the Saxon ducal title. The name Angria thereafter became obsolete. In the 13th century the central area on the Weser became the nucleus of the County of Hoya, which in 1582 was inherited by the House of Brunswick-Lüneburg.

we don't have leaves yet. A fellow down the road said he added on to his shop the other day, he bought another 50' air hose. Catch you later Pup.
Hey Pup since you mentioned it my air hose is a bit short for where the tractor is, maybe I'll ad an extension as well. Hope spring hits you guys in Alabama soon. We have been having unusually warm weather here, it's been in the 80's the last 2 weeks! The grass is really going to town. Bad time for thr tractor to be down.

I spent four hours yesterday at The University of Michigan Center for Vocal Health. For the last 5 years or so I have been having trouble with hoarseness and loss of range due to overuse in the classroom setting. I finally waved the white flag and just decided to have it checked out.
I met with the surgeon first, then the Voice Specialist and finally the Speech Pathologist, all specializing in teaching and singing. When I entered the room with the Voice Specialist, an instructor of voice at The University of Michigan School of Music, she asked me about my typical daily schedule. I explained that I had all 530+ students in our school for 80 minutes a week, plus 76 fifth graders for 80 minutes a week for band. She thought it was amazing that we had that kind of a program!
I then told her of our Elementary Honors Choir, which had 120 students in fourth, fifth and sixth grades. We have 8 music educators who work with this group every week for 8 weeks leading up to our Vocal Arts Concert. She asked me if this was a public school and, when I told her yes, she said she was elated that a program of this caliber still existed in the state. She told me that it made her heart happy to know that our students were receiving the music education that we know is so important to their personal growth and development.
We sometimes forget how good we actually have it. In a world of budget cuts, increasing state expectations for math, science, language arts and foreign languages, and music programs being pulled from schools, we have a true "diamond in the rough" in our district with wonderful educators and supportive staff and administrators. I need to remember to sit back and appreciate that every once in a while, and revel in the program that we love so much!

It was emotional to watch Jake take that first solo in "Badlands" during the Apollo Show. It was sort of a passing-of-the-torch moment.
Nils: It has to be. What can you say? There's no "Clarence Two." We can't bring him back, or else we would have. And you're dealt with that choice of not sharing that music again with the band, or sharing it as best you can. You navigate the best you can with dignity and class, knowing that you can't bring him back.
How do you think Jake is doing so far?
Steven: The kid's doing great. We're tough guys, maybe for our generation…you can't take for granted every generation having the work ethic that we have. We are psychotic. We're fucking…we're nuts. We just reach for greatness all the time, and we expect everybody around us to do the same. The biggest question was, "He's a young guy, doing a lot of different things – would he be able to handle that kind of expectation?" I have to say, he rose to the occasion like a champ, working his ass off.
I don't know how many important sax solos there are, probably 30 or 40. But they have to be perfect. It's not a sax solo where you can blow what you feel like. People want to hear those exact notes because they're now a part of the composition. You go see Paul McCartney and he plays those Beatles records note-for-note perfect, and that's exactly what you want because that's classical music. You don't improvise fucking Beethoven. You play those fucking notes. Every note means something. Every drum fill means something. It's in that sort of area when you talk about Clarence Clemons' solos. They're part of the composition, and so you have to nail those things note for note, and the tone. How often do you get in front of 20,000 people in your living room? Your first show is a live broadcast.
I loved when he started the solo on "Thunder Road," and then the rest of the horns chimed in.
Steven: Yeah, all of those things have been extremely thought out. We tried it different ways, asking, "What's going to work emotionally?" You think of everything. You don't want to be surprised, and you certainly don't want to let the audience down or do something that's going to be confusing to the audience emotionally. You want to do things that are going to be satisfying and give them the show they've come to expect from us.
Tell me about learning all this new material.
Nils: Oh well, I never quite learn all of it. It's a work in progress. I don't have a photographic musical memory, so I can't keep track of all the songs. I've just gotten really good at guessing what might be coming down the road. I obviously don't have to rehearse "Ramrod." There's a lot of songs that are just imprinted in me. They're basic enough that I focus on the stuff that I forgot, like intricate parts to some of the more complex songs and some of the albums in the past twelve years.
The whole tour is a work in progress. Bruce may give us ideas of five surprises coming down the pike and you might not see any of them that night, or you might see all of them. Invariably, he'll get inspired and call a song we didn't discuss. There's a lot of 'em that we might be rusty with, but you can probably call and we'll get away with it.
What was the first audible on the tour?
Nils: Oh geez, I think that he called "Seeds" on the first night and it wasn't in the setlist, and all of a sudden he called that out in the dark. That's the other thing – it's so freaking dark up there. In the rehearsal hall, I can read Bruce's lips and I can hear him. In a deafening sports arena, it's meaningless. You know, Bruce and Steve have such a great history that a lot of times in the dark after a song, I see them just talking and laughing. And that to me means whatever's written on the page is next. If they're not talking or laughing, they've having a conversation, I immediately run over and I stick my head right in there because I know something is going to change. And then because I'm fairly athletic, I become the Paul Revere of the stage and let everyone know.
It must have been a blast playing with Eric Burdon at SXSW.
Steven: That's a funny coincidence. Bruce did his keynote speech and he talked about what an influence the Animals were, and it all came down to that one song, "We've Gotta Get Out of This Place." He said every single thing he's written comes from that one song, which made Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil very happy, let me tell you. So he was going on about that, and what do you know, it turns out he was in town, which was really a freaky sort of thing. We found him, and we didn't rehearse. But he jumped on and we did it.
Nils: We all knew that we needed to learn that song, but I really didn't know that Eric would be walking out. So that blew my mind. That's another cool thing. As long as he knows the band is there musically, Bruce doesn't need to make us sure of every detail. He might not know if someone is going to sit in, because often guests they think are coming don't make it. Like I said, the whole show is like a giant jigsaw puzzle.
It was also great to see you play with Jimmy Cliff. I'm always amazed by how perfect his voice still sounds.
Steven: Yeah, he's still terrific. It's always nice when you can remind people that these people are still around and still great, and you can continue to give them support. I've always done that ever since I first walked into a recording studio with Southside Johnny on our very first album. I found Lee Dorsey under a car in New Orleans, working as a mechanic, to play on the album. We brought Ronnie Spector out of retirement, the Toasters, the Drifters. It's always good to say "thank you." They're really one of a kind, that generation. These people were talented way beyond anything you're seeing today.
On opening night in Atlanta, you guys played 13 songs written in the past decade. That's pretty rare for any veteran act.
Steven: That's more than half the show. That's nice, isn't it? That does say something. It says a lot about our audience, I have to say. We really have the best audience in the world, and I mean that. I'm not just saying that. They not only accept new material, they expect it.
How do you have time to get the right instrument if Bruce calls out some random song?
Nils: I have over 50 instruments on the road, and that's insane for just one guy to have that many instruments well oiled and ready to go. I also have an emergency acoustic guitar and an emergency electric. In extreme cases I realize that I won't have time to get the right guitar, so I grab an emergency one so I can contribute something. And I have the freedom to do all that, and Bruce knows that. He knows that to have a show that's by the seat of your pants, it can't be perfect and flawless.

RALEIGH — Queen bees who cavort with multiple mates are not behaving badly.
In fact, such procreative preferences actually help honeybee colonies survive by bringing more genetic diversity into the mix, according to a new study by entomology researchers at N.C. State University and other institutions.
High genetic diversity produces more eggs that resist disease better, and those colonies function more efficiently than less-diverse colonies do, said David Tarpy, NCSU associate professor of entomology and lead author of the research paper published this month in the scientific journal Naturwissenschaften, based in Germany.
Tarpy said the findings are part of a long-range study into potential causes of colony collapse disorder, a mysterious condition in which a colonys worker bees all disappear. The disorder was first identified in 2006, when some beekeepers reported losses of a third to 90 percent of their hives.
While losses have not been as large recently in North Carolina, the condition still occurs here, said Don Hopkins, who oversees beekeeping operations for the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
The concern among beekeepers is just as strong as it ever has been, Hopkins said.
Numerous factors may adversely affect bee colonies, including pests such as the varroa mite which feeds on bee larvae and pupae. Other potential problems for hives include certain types of bacteria, applications of pesticides or insufficient food supplies. When such problems arrive, a diverse genetic mix could be a valuable asset for a colony.
Mixing the genes in a given colony helps to hedge their bets, so if some members of the colony arent doing so well, their half-sisters can take up the slack, Hopkins said.
While other research has focused directly on analyzing collapsed colonies, Tarpy and his colleagues looked at the genetic diversity of bees in hives in the spring and again at the end of the summer.
We found that colonies with low levels of genetic diversity were more likely to die by the end of that period, Tarpy said.
He said the research findings dont fully explain mysterious colony collapse disorder, but could be a piece of the puzzle.
By taking samples from 80 honeybee colonies and evaluating their genetic diversity, Tarpy and his colleagues Dennis vanEnglesdorp at the University of Maryland and Jeffery S. Pettis at the USDA Bee Research Laboratory in Beltsville, Md. determined that colonies whose queens had mated seven or more times were nearly three-times more likely to survive to the end of the 10-month honeybee working season than those who mated fewer times.
About half 48 percent of those colonies whose queens had seven or more mates survived. Fewer than 20 percent of the less genetically diverse colonies made it to the end of the 10-month period.
A single queen typically lays all the eggs for an individual hive, which can support as many as 80,000 bees, including male drones and infertile female worker bees, Hopkins said. A newly emerged queen, known as a virgin queen, goes out on mating flights within days of becoming an adult bee.
She flies from the hive to sow her wild oats, mating with drones from other colonies, Tarpy said.
Each queen makes at least one and sometimes four or five trips from the hive during a period of about a week, staying out for a few hours each time and mating with one or more drones per trip.
The queen flies to areas where male bees gather, and finds suitors strong enough to fly alongside her as they mate in the air. After mating, the drone will die, because the males sex organs and part of its abdomen are torn away at the conclusion of the act.
This leaves the queen ready to receive a new mate and a new set of genetic material with each coupling.
Some queens conclude their mating ritual after mating a half-dozen or fewer times, while others mate with 30 or more drones. Then the queen returns to the hive to lay eggs. She never mates again, but continues to lay the fertilized eggs she has stored in her body to produce workers or queen bees. Drones develop from nonfertilized eggs.
Tarpy said the research study was also significant because it examined bees in as natural a setting as possible.
The colonies examined are those transported to farms and agricultural settings on a regular schedule to pollinate crops along the East Coast.
These were real-world pollinators, the ones responsible for putting food on our tables, Tarpy said.

CHICAGO, IL - JUNE 14: Army veteran Brad Schwarz (L), with his service dog Panzer, chats with Marine Corps veteran James Dahan while they smoke cigarettes outside Wrigley Field during a Chicago Cubs game on June 14, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois. Dahan was injured while serving in Iraq in 2004. Schwarz uses Panzer to help him cope with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related to his 2008 tour in Iraq. In addition to suffering from PTSD Schwarz has memory loss related to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and he must walk with a cane because of vertebrae and nerve damage in his back and legs. Ten days before he was scheduled to rotate home from a 15-month deployment in Iraq, his second, the Humvee in which he was riding was struck by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). Of the 5 soldiers riding in the vehicle, which caught fire after the explosion, Schwarz was the only one to survive. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)

Wednesday, May 15, 2013 —
The town of Red Cross discussed the proposed budget, transportation plans and the installment of two members to the Planning Board/Board of Adjustment Monday night.
A public hearing was called for the first reading of the proposed budget for 2013-2014. The proposed budget hardly deviates from last fiscal year's budget plan. The tax rate will remain at 15 cents. The board unanimously appro-ved the reading of the proposed budget.
Reuben Q. Crummy, a transportation engineer at N.C. Department of Trans-portation, presented the Stanly County Comprehen-sive Transportation Plans (CTP) Amendment. If passed, the CTP would serve as a list of recommendations for improving transportation in the city of Locust, the town of Red Cross and unincorporated areas of Stanly County.
The CTP would ensure that all concepts for transportation improvement are regarded and discussed. Future projects would have a clearer, simpler planning process to go through. Concepts would go through a rigorous environmental process to ensure that they are as good as they can be, officials said.
The CTP Amendment covers future plans for improving highway, bicycle, pedestrian and rail and public modes of transportation. Town council members received the CTP presentation positively.
Councilman Dicky Hatley nominated Thelma Tomber-lin and Harris Williams to be installed to the Planning Board/Board of Adjust-ment. Both members were unanimously accepted and sworn into oath during the meeting.
Also discussed was the renewal of Property and Liability Insurance through the North Carolina League of Municipalities Risk Management Services. The renewal included a $30 increase. All council members approved the renewal.
The finance department gave a standard report. The departments of fire protection, police protection, street maintenance, waste collection and zoning had nothing to report.
After receiving no further comments from citizens, a motion was made to adjourn the meeting. The next town board meeting will be at 7 p.m. June 10.

Cyprus Trod Where None Had Dared
The invisible line was crossed when the Europeans contemplated not protecting small bank accounts.
Scheherazade S. Rehman is a professor of international finance/business and international affairs at The George Washington University. You can visit her homepage here and follow her on Twitter @Prof_Rehman.
So we managed to save Cyprus! Early today, they got the euro 10 billion bailout deal at the 11th hour, thereby preventing a Cypriot banking system collapse and a possible eurozone exit. As part of the deal, the second largest bank in Cyprus, Laiki (or Popular) Bank, will be closed and depositors who hold more than euro 100,000 will experience large losses.
Common sense seemed to have prevailed and this new deal safeguards and guarantees all deposits under euro 100,000. In return for the rescue money, Cyprus must reduce both its debt and banking sector, privatize state-owned assets, and put into place structural reforms.
This will not save the Cypriots from a deep recession, soon to be followed by a Greek-style near-term economic and social cataclysm. Much more significant, however, is the fact that this latest eurozone financial crisis and resulting bailout negotiation has all the basic ingredients to generate a new systemic risk in the financial markets—it has undermined the faith of southern small savers in their own local banks. The Europeans might have done some real damage, as the local banking systems in southern eurozone countries could be more or less effectively wrecked for the near-term. Ironically, once again, one of the smallest countries in Europe is the catalyst.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the European debt crisis.]
Since the 2007 crash, American and European financial crises management has had two fundamental tenets. First and foremost, the small depositors (US$100,000 or euro100,000 or less) must be protected in any bailout. Second, the troubled banks' investors i.e. the financial institutions which lent money to the banks (usually by buying up bank bonds) typically take the hit (known as a haircut) for their risky investments.
This is based on the straightforward logic that large financial institutions understand and are knowledgeable about the risk off their investments i.e. lending to a bank, and therefore should participate in the pain of a rescue package. The small depositor, however, does not have any notion of how much risk his or her bank is taking at any point in time. Small depositors simply trust their government regulators to make sure that the banks are reasonably safe. Thus, it is unreasonable to hold small depositors accountable for the risky behavior of financial institutional investors and banks.
There are very good reasons why these tenets must never be violated. First, even the hint of the suggestion of using small savers to bail out banking institutions and their shareholders and bondholders is reckless at best. This will result in only one thing: undermining the belief and faith of small depositors in the local banking system. That damage is difficult to undo and has a myriad of negative consequences for an economy. (Not to mention that it is generally perceived as patently unfair to hold small depositors responsible for bailing out large institutional investors.)
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Who Is Handling Its Debt Crisis Better: United States or Europe?]
The initial Cyprus bailout package last week violated this primary tenet. This is a first for the eurozone. The original agreement mandated that small depositor's savings would be taxed and used in the financing of the Cyprus bailout package. This led Cypriot small savers to take to the streets and demand that their savings not be touched, which in turn led to wholesale chaos, ATM runs and the entire nation's banking system being shut down for a week. The small depositors forced the Cypriot government to renegotiate with the "troika" (European Commission, International Monetary Fund, and the European Central Bank). The final agreement to bail out Cyprus was reached early this morning leaving small depositors safeguarded at least for now.
However, the damage has been done. The invisible line was crossed. Not only will it be a long time before small savers in southern Europe trust their own banks again, but foreign investors will be very reluctant to park their money in Mediterranean banks. In Cyprus, what's left of the euro 31 billion Russian deposits will fly out the moment capital flight restrictions are lifted. No foreign investor is going to take the risk anytime in the near future of parking large sums of money in local banks in Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, or perhaps even Spain and Italy. This effectively bulldozes local banks in the southern eurozone for the near future.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's office has issued the following press release:
Governor Dannel P. Malloy on Friday that three additional FEMA Mobile Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) will open this week in East Lyme, Fairfield, and Norwalk to assist homeowners and businesses affected by Storm Sandy.
"While we are encouraging residents to register with FEMA either online or via telephone, these mobile centers are another resource for individuals looking to access assistance," said Governor Malloy. "If you live in one of the declared counties and you suffered damage from Storm Sandy, register with FEMA and visit one of these centers so we can begin the disaster assistance process."
So far, more than $2.2 million in federal disaster assistance has been approved to help individuals with disaster expenses in Connecticut. To date:
- More than 6,550 Connecticut residents in counties of Fairfield, Middlesex, New Haven, and New London, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and the Mohegan Tribal Nation located within New London County have registered for federal disaster assistance.
- More than $2.1 million has been approved for housing assistance, including short-term rental assistance and home repair costs.
- More than $134,000 has been approved to cover other essential disaster-related needs, such as medical and dental expenses and lost personal possessions.
- More than 600 households have received FEMA grants to help pay for temporary housing.
- More than 1,400 inspections of damaged properties have been conducted.
- More than 4,800 disaster loan applications have been issued by the United States Small Business Administration (SBA). Of that number, more than 3,800 are for home loans, with more than 900 applications from businesses.

I also made this exactly as the recipe said, with Bush's Baked Beans. It is indeed a bit sweet, which the kids loved! For a mostly adult crowd, I'd probably use 1/2 - 3/4 cup brown suger instead of 2 cups.
This is the only baked bean recipe I make anymore. It always gets raves. As others have said, 1/2 to 1 cup of brown sugar is plenty. I always cook my bacon first and then saute the chopped up onion in the bacon grease before adding to the beans. And I add a couple squirts of yellow mustard to give it a bit more tang. And I always use Bush's baked beans to start - they seem to be a bit smaller in size and all the kids in our extended family like them better. This dish is awesome to use with leftover chopped up brisket.
The best thing about this recipe is the Chili Sauce - for this alone it deserves 5 stars! Chili Sauce adds a bit of bite, and makes this really special. For vegetarians or those avoiding pork, omit the bacon and use canned vegetarian beans - it will still taste delicious! I do have a problem with 2 cups of brown sugar - that's way, way too much for me; I start with Bush's Homestyle Baked Beans, which are already sweet, and add 2-4 tablespoons of brown sugar. I also think 1 cup of chili sauce is plenty. I saute the onion briefly, in a bit of bacon fat or canola oil. This is now our favorite baked bean dish!

Summary — The Hawkeyes squelched any Indiana momentum, holding it to three-and-out to start the half. Iowa then went 60 yards in five plays, capped by a 34-yard pass from Stanzi to Brodell. Another 3-and-out for Indiana led to another Hawkeyes' touchdown. This time Stanzi hit Brandon Myers from 20 yards out. Indiana went for it on fourth-and-1 from the 14, but Ben Chappell was short of the first down, turning the ball over to Iowa.
Key play — Kicker Daniel Murray prevented an Indiana touchdown on a kickoff return. Murray tackled Brandon Walker-Roby at the Hoosiers' 47. Indiana could not do anything with the field position, losing 10 yards on the ensuing drive.
Score — Iowa 31, Indiana 9.

Classic, simple and stain free! What more can one ask for in our day to day women's uniform?
We did not like the "manliness" of the shirt. It was just too masculine-looking for my staff.
The quality of the shirts were great. We were a little disappointed with the length of the sleeves. Most of our female team members are forced roll us the sleeves because the length is not long enough. The reason I selected this item is because it was targeted towards women and had the darts which most women appreciate in an oxford shirt. However the sleeves were not long enough which disappointed us.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Carolina Panthers starting left guard Amini Silatolu went down with a leg injury in the third quarter of Sundays 22-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
The initial diagnosis is a sprained medial collateral ligament for the second-year player.
Hopefully its not serious but well find out, Ron Rivera said. Well get an MRI (Monday) morning and hopefully its nothing serious and well just hold our breath.
Silatolu was hurt with 5:48 remaining in the third quarter on a short pass to Steve Smith that was eventually called back for offensive pass interference. On the ensuing play, after Travelle Wharton came in as a substitute, Cam Newton was sacked in the end zone for a safety.
It wasnt Travelle who gave it up, so again, its one of those things where you have to look at the tape and see what happened, what exactly happened, Rivera said. Pressure came up from right up the middle.
The Panthers have already had to play without Silatolu this season. He missed the season opener with a hamstring strain, and Carolina was forced to play guard by committee.
Playing sick : Defensive end Greg Hardy said he was a little drugged-up during the game but refused to use it as an excuse for his play.
Hardy fought a fever and an undisclosed illness all week and missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday. He had three tackles and one quarterback pressure but did not produce a sack Sunday.
He went up against Bradley Sowell, who was making his first career start, after the Cardinals traded left tackle Levi Brown to Pittsburgh. Sowell and Hardy had history together: the two played together at Ole Miss.
He held his own, Hardy said. I did my thing as normal, and I didn't do it as good as I should have, hands down.
Healthy scratches : Josh Norman was inactive Sunday for the first time in his career. With James Dockery back from injury (shoulder/thumb) and undrafted rookie Melvin White coming off a good game against the Giants, Norman was the odd cornerback out for the Panthers.
Also inactive was Frank Alexander. The Panthers have wanted to take a look at undrafted rookie defensive end Wes Horton, and Alexander has been inactive the past two games.
With those two inactives, Carolina had three of its seven draft picks from 2012 playing on Sunday. D.J. Campbell and Joe Adams are no longer on the team, leaving Silatolu, Brad Nortman and Luke Kuechly as the lone representatives.
Linebacking brothers : The Panthers essentially played their Week 3 contest against the Giants without linebacker Jon Beason, who got just one snap against New York.
Sunday, the Panthers literally played without him. Beason, a three-time Pro Bowler, was traded to New York in exchange for an undisclosed 2014 draft pick on Friday.
Its definitely a different situation not having Jon here, but I have five other brothers that are still here, linebacker Thomas Davis said. We go out and we play together and we play as a team. Thats what its all about: Playing with the guys that are inside this huddle.
• Mike Tolbert rumbled for a 20-yard gain late in the first half to help Carolina get in field-goal range. It was his longest rush in his two-year Panther career.
• The in the grasp sack rule led to two sacks Sunday. Newton was sacked by Tyrann Mathieu despite getting away, and Palmer was sacked by Charles Johnson before fumbling.
• Newton has been very good on drives to close out the first half this season. He led a 90-yard touchdown drive at Buffalo, a 65-yard touchdown drive against the Giants and went 47 yards in five plays to get a field goal to go into halftime with a 6-3 lead.
• Ben Hartsock was called for holding on a 41-yard field goal by Graham Gano. At the end of the half, he and special teams coordinator Richard Rogers talked to the referees about the call.
• Brandon LaFell had ice on his back in the locker room. He said he suffered a muscle strain in the first half after a hard tackle but is expected to practice Wednesday.
By the numbers
7 sacks by the Cardinals on Newton, tying his career high.
2 tackles each by Newton and Jordan Gross, both following turnovers.
95 Panthers rushing yards, the most allowed by Arizona all season.
6 losses by the Panthers in seven games when Newton throws for more than 300 yards.
There are a lot of things that I feel I could have done better. Getting the ball out is one of them. Carolina quarterback Cam Newton.
They did a great job covering those guys up. (Newton) had to hold the ball longer than youd expect. Arizona LB Karlos Dansby.
We are fortunate to get 22 points. Our defense, with the safety and with the field position really helped us out. Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer.
Sometimes when you dont score touchdowns it takes the wind out of your sails and you have to settle for the field goal. Carolina coach Ron Rivera.

Prospect lists are about tools and potential. But I do go back and continue to think about something Kyle Gibson told me a couple of years ago. "It's nice to be considered a top prospect, but all that really means is that you haven't done anything yet."
That's the beauty of these rankings and lists like it. It's great for discussion, but if you look back at rankings from previous years, you find that to be very true. There are occasionally prospects who get the hype and become everything fans could ever hope. There are prospects who no one would consider a prospect who have come up and been major contributors. And most prospects are somewhere in between. It will be fun to see how this group progressed and develops, and how much of an impact they have on the future of the Minnesota Twins.
Part 10: Prospects 1-5
Today, we are looking at some pretty impressive prospects. There are two pitchers who are able to work in the mid-to-upper 90s. One may be ready next year while the other could be redshirting behind Johnny Football right now. There are two infielders who have been teammates since their days in the GCL. One is a top prospect who has the potential to hit 40 home runs. The other could hit .300 for years to come. And then there is the guy who has been determined, by experts from respected media, to be the top prospect in all baseball. All five of these guys have a chance to be impact players in the big leagues.
#5 Eddie Rosario 2B (22)
Rosario was the Twins 4th round pick in 2010 out of high school in Puerto Rico. Since then he has hit every step of the way. He made a name for himself in 2011 with Elizabethton. He was the Appy League Player of the Year when he hit .337/.397/.670 (1.068) with nine doubles, nine triples and a league-leading 21 home runs. He also stole 17 bases and played a terrific centerfield. He went to Instructs where he was moved to second base. At Beloit, he hit .296/.345/.490 (.835) with 32 doubles and 12 homers despite missing about a month after being struck in the mouth by a batting practice line drive. After a strong season in the Puerto Rican Winter League, he played for his country in the WBC. He split the 2013 season between Ft. Myers and New Britain and hit .302/.350/.460 (.810) with 32 doubles, eight triples, and ten home runs. Clearly he is not a big fan of walking, but he has the quickest hands Ive seen. He is able to watch pitches longer because he can still get the bat through the zone. He also uses the whole field well. He has a lot of pop, particularly for a middle infielder. Of course therein lies the question about Rosario. Can he play second base in the big leagues? There are certainly opinions on both sides. In general, I believe that he could be an adequate big league second baseman because he is such a good athlete. However, he will likely never be a good defensive second baseman. That said, he is already a very good defensive outfielder with a very strong arm. He is getting some good experience in the Arizona Fall League, and will then play in the Puerto Rican Winter League again. He is likely to receive a non-roster invite to spring training with the Twins.
#4 Kohl Stewart RH SP (19)
The fourth overall pick in the 2013 draft, the Twins were thrilled Stewart fell into their lap. The 6-3 right-hander from Houston was best known for having signed to play quarterback at Texas A&M behind Johnny Football. Instead, he signed with the Twins and started his professional baseball career. He is an exceptional athlete with a very strong arm. He has a fastball that sits between 92 and 95, but he has hit 97 mph at times as well. He also has a very good slider in the upper-80s. He has four pitches, but the other two will likely be little better than average. He posted a 1.69 ERA in his 16 innings in the GCL. He then made just one start for the Elizabethton Twins and gave up one hit and one walk while striking out eight in four scoreless innings. In his 20 pro innings in 2013, he walked four and struck out 24. Unfortunately, he was shut down with some shoulder soreness and did not pitch in the Instructional Leagues. It is not believed to be serious and he should be ready by spring training.
#3 Alex Meyer RH SP (23)
Meyer was the first round pick (23rd overall) of the Washington Nationals in 2011 out of the University of Kentucky. Just about a year ago, he came to the Twins in a one-for-one swap for Denard Span. At 6-9 and 220 pounds, he certainly comes with a mound presence. More important, he has four above average pitches and the ability to be completely dominant. After missing two months this season with a shoulder injury, he returned and after three rehab starts hit 100 mph with a pitch in his first start coming back to New Britain. His fastball sits between 94 and 98 and does hit 100 with some regularity. He also has a terrific slider that could become better as he gains more and more control. He also has a slow curve and a good changeup. With New Britain, he was 4-3 with a 3.21 ERA. In 70 innings, he walked 29 and struck out 84. He is now pitching in the Arizona Fall League to make up some lost innings. He has a chance to be a true ace. He is another guy who should receive an invite to big league spring training. (and, I can't tell you how close I was to moving him up to #2, but I just couldn't pull the trigger.)
#2 Miguel Sano 3B (20)
The Twins surprised a lot of people in October of 2009 when they were the team that signed the top foreign player, Sano, to a bonus of $3.15 million. He appeared in the pre-2010 Baseball Americas Top 100 at #94. In the years since, he has ranked #60, #18 and was the ninth overall prospect before the 2013 season. When the list comes out next spring, he will certainly be in the top five, if not the top three. His career has been directly tied to that of Eddie Rosario. They played together in the GCL in 2010. In 2011, Rosario was the Appy League Player of the Year, but Sano hit .292/.352/.637 (.988) with 18 doubles, seven triples, and 20 home runs. At Beloit in 2012, he hit .258/.373/.521 (.893) with 28 doubles, four triples, 28 home runs and 100 RBI. Combined, between Ft. Myers and New Britain in 2013, Sano hit .280/.382/.610 (.992) with 30 doubles, five triples, 35 homers and 103 RBI. Those are just the numbers. Sano is more than just the numbers. He is 6-4 and about 225 pounds. Hes as powerful as anyone in baseball. My sense is that he wont hit for real high average, but he will take walks, he will hit home runs and he will strike out. A lot. He could hit .270, get on base 40% of the time and hit 40 or more home runs. Defense is the other part of the equation. After posting an .884 fielding percentage at Beloit in 2012. In 2013, his fielding percentage jumped to .932. His errors dropped from 42 to 23. His hands have become much softer. He now plays a very deep third base because he has one of the strongest arms in baseball. Will Sano be the Twins third baseman in 2014? Absolutely, yes! When? If you were to put the over/under at the All-Star break, I would be the over (meaning, before), unless the Twins want to keep him eligible for the Futures Game at Target Field. (Hopefully his elbow injury will not affect his timeline in 2014!)
#1 Byron Buxton OF (19)
Go back and review the profiles of Miguel Sano, or Alex Meyer and possibly Kohl Stewart. In many organizations, each of them could be the number one prospect. However, if youre in an organization with Byron Buxton, then #2 is the best you can hope for. I went down to Cedar Rapids for their Opening Weekend. I assumed Buxton would be talented and look the part, but in my mind, he wasnt going to surpass Sano atop my prospect list. About two days later, my mind was changed. Byron Buxton was the best prospect I had ever seen (and I saw Mike Trout in Beloit, playing for Cedar Rapids, three years earlier). Speed may be his most obvious tool. In that initial series, I saw him beat out regular ground balls to shortstop, third base and even second base. He also stole 55 bases (in 74 attempts). Not bad considering it is an area that he can improve. I saw him show remarkable range in centerfield. We also saw his range in the game that appeared on Fox Sports North, and not just on The Play. Despite currently being 6' 2" and a lean 190, he is very strong, very powerful. I saw one of the several home runs that he hit in Cedar Rapids that went out of the stadium and across the street. Most of his home runs were line drives. His approach at the plate is remarkable. He is very patient at the plate. Like Joe Mauer, he often takes the first pitch and isnt afraid to hit with two strikes. He uses the entire field. I could go on and on, but the things that people with the Twins organization stress are Buxtons makeup and work ethic, pointing out that he wants to be great. Between Cedar Rapids and Ft. Myers, he hit .334/.424/.520 (.944) with 19 doubles, 18 triples, 12 homers and 78 RBI. Buxton will likely start 2013 in New Britain. I will be completely shocked if he is not in the big leagues by mid-July.

Saint Joseph's College is the only liberal arts college in Maine offering a major in marine science, and one of the few small colleges in the Northeast to do so.
The Marine Science program includes Dr. Mark Green (ocean geochemistry), Dr. Greg Teegarden (ecosystem ecology), and Dr. Jeanne Gulnick (marine microbiology and chemistry).
Faculty members guide students through investigations of the geological, physical, chemical and biological characteristics of ocean systems, and students receive training on the fresh waters of Maine as well. A heavy emphasis on field work ensures that students will spend ample time learning the discipline in stimulating locations - the rocky coast, mudflats, estuaries, the sea floor, even the open waters of the Gulf of Maine.
All faculty members are active in research, and student involvement is a key component. Collaborations with organizations such as Friends of Casco Bay and Portland Water District are also important.
Through independent study, internships, and senior research, students work on important local issues. From cataloging the diversity of Gulf of Maine waters, to studying the causes and effects of red tide outbreaks or researching how the chemical environments affects juvenile clam survival (crucial to proper fishery management), the marine science program is making a difference today and developing the scientists and leaders of tomorrow.
A minor in Marine Science is available and requires students to take 20 credits of course work.
Lane Hubacz '09, Ryan Carrier '10 and marine science professor Mark Green check temperature of water going into a bin containing oysters. The researchers are hoping to spawn oysters they will raise in various pH conditions in order to determine the effect of pH on rates of fertilization. The project is part of Dr. Green's research on ocean acidification's effect on shellfish.
Marine science major Sean Donnelly '12 spent some of last summer collecting post-Ice Age sand samples in Maine, along the Penobscot River, tributary streams, and even in gravel pits up north with natural sciences professor Dr. Johan Erikson. In the campus lab, Sean sorted and identified the collected minerals – and helped to determine what climatic conditions were like when they were formed. The methodology and research can be used by other scientists to determine the effect of climate on geological landscape over millions of years.
Marine science professor Dr. Mark Green explains ocean acidification and how it affects marine life.

The objective of the meeting, introduced by board member Martin Dinham, was to create a shared agenda for measuring and improving the value for money of HIV/AIDS programming delivered by UK NGOs.
Despite the weather a large number of representatives from UK NGOs attended the meeting accompanied by a very strong turn out from DFID. Key note speakers included Liz Ditchburn, Director for Value for Money from DFID as well as Will Niblet who is the AIDS Workstream Lead from DFID. The agenda also included methodological inputs from the New Economics Foundation and from NICE international.
The Alliance presented two recent case studies demonstrating value for money. The first from our Orphans and Vulnerable Children programme in India (the CHAHA programme) and the second from our Stigma programme in Zambia (funded through the Africa Regional Programme).
Both studies highlighted how successful value for money analysis can be done and critically how it can yield very informative results to help with programming. Read more on CHAHA's return on social investment.
They also demonstrated how future value can be maximised from the available resources we have. IPPF also presented a case study of a value for money analysis focused on comparing different approaches to integrating HIV and reproductive health programmes.
The Alliance also presented a draft paper on our emergent approach to measuring and improving value for
money which has been put together with support from Roger Drew. The
document will be finalised and circulated widely in early 2011.
The meeting highlighted how the value for money agenda is still an emergent one but one in which the Alliance is leading the way by proactively addressing the issues and generating information and case studies to inform the debates. This fact was widely recognised by the DFID speakers, representatives from other NGOs as well as BOND.
"Events like this", said Sam McPherson, The Alliance's Associate Director: Planning, Analysis & Learning, "show that that the Alliance can play a key leadership and innovation role in shaping the emergent agenda around value for money so that, for example, we can keep the focus on ensuring that 'value' is defined by the communities we work with".
It is certain that as we enter in to 2011 these debates will become increasingly prominent so watch this space for more work in this area!

The Public Safety Board wants to do away with stop signs that are located on intersections governed by stop lights.
Currently there are cases where intersections have both stop lights and stop signs. The duplication has been confusing city motorists for years.
Police explain that the stop sign should be obeyed if the traffic light is off. If the traffic light is on, it takes precedence over the stop signs.
Police Commissioner Ted Phillips, who is recommending that the stop signs at these intersections by abolished, wants the traffic lights on 24 hours a day.
Before the move can be made, City Attorney Anthony DeAngelo will be called in to check on the legal aspects of the proposal.
This was suggested by Police Chief Robert Simmons.
