Synopses & ReviewsReview:"The sunshine of the future illuminates this wonderful account of the 'other agriculture.' Indeed, let's plant sorghum in the suburbs and bring the bee-hives back to Manhattan." Mike Davis, author of In Praise of Barbarians
Review:"This gorgeous book is a celebration of America's agricultural revival. It features a brilliant diversity of farms and related projects which have sprung from a broad spectrum of visions, including food justice, preserving biodiversity, reinventing local food systems, education, empowerment, and skill-building. For anyone thinking about becoming part of the local food revival, this book will be a source of great inspiration." Sandor Ellix Katz, author of The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved
Review:"My favorite book of the season.... Inspiring without being romantic in the least, it advances the whole conversation about sustainable agriculture and access." Michael Pollan, Grist.org
Book News Annotation:This interesting volume on alternative and small-scale farming showcases twenty farms across the United States that exemplify the wide range of methodologies, motivations, and ideologies at work in modern socially conscious local and sustainable food movements. Presented as a series of interviews with farmers, the work discusses both for profit and non-profit organizations located in urban and rural settings and explores the produce, lifestyles, politics, and environmental stewardship of the small farms at the forefront of the movement. Chapters include numerous color photographs as well as background and statistical information about each of the farms. Franceschini is a professor of art at the University of San Francisco and Tucker is a documentary film maker based in Chicago. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Synopsis:With interest in home gardening at an all-time high and concerns about food production and safety making headlines, Farm Together Now explores the current state of grassroots farming in the U.S. Part oral history and part treatise on food politics, this fascinating project is an introduction to the many individuals who are producing sustainable food, challenging public policy, and developing community organizing efforts. With hundreds of photographs and a foreword from New York Times columnist Mark Bittman, Farm Together Now will educate, inspire, and cultivate a new wave of modern agrarians.
Description:"…a small but increasing number of farmers, represented in this book, [are] combining traditional ways with contemporary knowledge to search for and come up with a series of new systems that produce good food while treating the environment, animals, workers, and consumers with respect. Doing this while still making a living, in fact having a good life, is the great agricultural challenge facing the world in the 21st century." from 'Farms Matter,' the foreword to Farm Together Now by Mark Bittman, Author of Food Matters and How to Cook Everything

My simple question: Why does the MSM continue to resurrect Dick Cheney along with his inane comments on any subject…?!
This man is a "WAR CRIMINAL" along with G.W. Bush…believe it!
Cheney, G.W. Bush, H.W. Bush and a host of other confidantes are all cut from the same 'imperial' cloth; I.E., they are elitists.
They view this nation to be their solely owned property and "WE the People" their prey, they the supreme, all-knowing predators for all time and places.
They aren't unique in their shared psychopathy. They suffer from the same mental aberrations as a Nero, Caligula, Genghis Khan, Attila, Stalin, Hitler, Chairman Mao and others throughout history
Granted we need to protect our nation from enemies both foreign and domestic, but without judicial oversight it becomes a mere criminally inspired rout against our core freedoms with investigatory outcomes determined by men rather than the scales of justice.
How much longer must "We the People" suffer the lies issued from the mouths of these terminally corrupt mattoids…?!

Read All of Tristine's Triumph
October 1
This is going to be more complicated then I thought. Already I am running into difficulties to just getting my records sent to the right office. Thank goodness my family doctor has so much patience with me. He truly is a great guy even though the rest of the staff at his office and the specialist's office does not know how to handle paperwork.
My family doctor told me to take an aspirin a day, but I am concerned about this high dose because I have only heard of baby aspirin a day. After discussing it with his nurse, she and I finally settled for one baby aspirin a day until I can get in to see my OB/GYN. They said that with the positive Lupus Anticoagulant, prescribing baby aspirin and heparin is a treatment some doctors use.
I hope this confusion isn't a sign for what we will have to endure, but in case it is, I guess I will try to consider myself in training right now. If I can handle the stress of trying to get in to see my OB/GYN, then I hope I should be able to handle the stress of what is to come with this pregnancy.

In Memory of W.B. Yeats Isolation Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Quote #4
And the living nations wait,
Each sequestered in its hate; (48-49)
War is on the horizon, and Auden is staring it straight in the face. These lines seem to be calling out the poem's readers. Yeats could see it. Auden sees it. What's keeping the rest of the world from realizing how screwed up their current situation is?
Quote #5
Intellectual disgrace
Stares from every human face,
And the seas of pity lie
Locked and frozen in each eye. (51-54)
There's no grand transformation at the end of this poem. Yeats doesn't work wonders and magically change the world into a shiny, happy place. Things are pretty much as bleak as when Yeats began to write. But that doesn't mean his work wasn't valuable, as the end of the poem suggests.
Quote #6
In the prison of his days
Teach the free man how to praise. (64-65)
See? There's still hope out there. Even after Yeats's death, his poems can continue to influence new readers. That's a version of immortality, even if it's a conditional one.

Hi All, I just recently bought everything i need to start kegging, i have two kegs. I just realized that I only purchased one plastic picnic (party) dispenser. The problem is that there is no LHBS anywhere near me and to order a $2 item online i have to pay $8 in shipping. I do not really want to do that. Here is my question, does anyone know of a place that doesn't do this bulk shipping where you get screwed on really small orders to high shipping costs? Or does anyone have a spare picnic faucet that they can donate? Thanks in advance!!!
One dispenser is fine. Simply remove and hook to the other keg when you want to drink from it. I use this method all of the time. Buy one the next time you place an order.
Why not just drink them one at a time? I have 5 kegs but only tap one at a time.
so the line will have this other beer in it. that will add flavors to the other beer am i missing something here?
alright, i didn't think i had to explain it like this, but I want to be able to drink both at the same time....duh
You didn't say you had 2 different flavors. We figured you were just stocking up on one type. You need 2 taps. I would just hot swap the tap. A little spit from one beer to the other wont hurt.
Nothing wrong with wanting two beers on tap! My next trip to the LHBS will be in about 2 weeks. If you still need one by then I buy it and mail it to you.
Hey, knock that shvt off. We're drinkin' here.
Same boat here...I will just swap back and forth until the wifey lets me buy all the junk I need to run two taps at once (gas hose, distributor, clamps, barbs, blah blah blah). These women just don't get it!

Indeed, Hecarim's main strength is solid diving initiation which is just fine in SR and TT, and his cooldowns are adjusted for it. On Dominion, that quality of diving will get you killed due to people almost always being grouped and the cooldowns are still high -- easier to just use a regular speedshrined tank for initiation. Shyvana is more of a "I don't got things to punch" that keeps her down in this mode.
Why was Vayne moved down? In some harder match ups, you can just omit buying attack speed items early and try to go for burst/survivability.

Why is the spectral lantern above lightbringer? I'd assume that because the light ringer is built from the lantern it would be higher
Lantern is great, but finishing it is just for detecting certain traps. Not much point detecting shaco boxes if you're on a melee, for instance (or at all in general, their fear range is so high). As it says at the top of the list you may see cheap items near the top. I don't think Karma is on any of the role tier lists.
i can add a little bit to the hecarim reasons that you guys are seemign to forget, His W helps a lot on those Sr and TT ganks and teamfights even after the nerfs, with the selfhaling reduction Aura His W ihere is not as cool or useful as in the other Maps.
Why is Dr. Mundo listed as an AD caster? None of his abilities scale with AD.
General Quackers
I think Morde should be in a lower tier for bot lane. He's really, really easy to gank successfully.
I do not see "InFe ed's Delicious Tears" on the Item Tiers List.

Imperial Couple and Commoners to Celebrate their Wedding Anniversary Together
According to their concept of an imperial family that "lives with the people, sharing their joys and sorrows", Empress Akihito and Empress Michiko are going to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in April together with a hundred Japanese commoner couples who mark their golden wedding anniversary this year.
There is certainly good reason for the imperial couple to celebrate this day as it marks their success in making the very romantic love dream, that they had both shared before their marriage and that had, at the time, moved the whole nation, become reality in hard everyday life. Michiko's mother-in-law, the Empress Nagako, a formidable figure of the old aristocracy, looked down upon the commoner princess, treating her with haughty contempt. Michiko, the first commoner to ever marry into the imperial family, suffered a nervous breakdown after a whispering campaign in the press in 1963, and, again, in 1993. In 2007, she confessed that even after so many years had passed she found it still "difficult to be confident" in her decisions and that it had been "a great challenge to get through each and every day" with her "sorrow and anxiety".
On the other hand, her troubles seem to have paid off, at least as far as the happiness of her spouse is concerned. On his 70th birthday, the monarch said that in his marriage to the Empress he had found "profound happiness" and that he was "grateful that in all situations the Empress had wholeheartedly supported" him in "his position and official duties" and had been "an affectionate companion" for him "who calmed his spirit".
Read an article on the upcoming event here at the Mainichi Daily News, and the thread at TRF here.

Kent Beck Plays with Coffeescript
Kent Beck, who literally wrote the book on Extreme Programming, just made a video where he plays with Coffeescript and shows the power of a fast feedback loop. This shows off most of his most important programming techniques.
Reading Code Good by Saron Yitbarek
Reading code is a great way to get better at programming, but it's sometimes hard to know where to start. Fortunately for you, Saron Yitbarek did a great talk at RailsConf 2014 called Reading Code Good, and she also has a great list of resources at the accompanying web site, including some good gems to start with if you're a Rubyist.
One good example that isn't listed at the site is Rake. It's worth reading partly because you almost certainly use it already, and partly because it's very well designed and written — but mostly because you can have fun watching Jim Weirich live code it at RubyConf Uruguay in 2013.
On Stable Software
Some interesting thoughts from Michel Martens on Ruby Rogues on simplicity in software:
- The reason software is often bloated is that we judge software by its adoption rate. And the easiest way to make software more popular is to make it solve a lot more people's use cases. Thus, we drive software developers to make their products more and more complicated.
- Sites like Ruby Toolbox judge software by (among other things) how often it has been changed lately. Therefore it penalizes simple, stable packages in favour of complex, ever-changing ones.
If we really want well written, stable software, we are going about it the wrong way.
Compiler Design in C
Many years ago, I read a wonderful book called Compiler Design in C, and the author, Allen Holub, has now made the full text available on his web site. Even though the code is horrendously out of date and probably doesn't even compile nowadays, it's really easy to follow along, and it gets results quickly: by page 30, you have a working compiler for a simple language, and the rest of the book fleshes that out for increasingly realistic scenarios.
Definitely worth a (re-)read.
Remembering Menya
Ten years ago today, on February 13, 2001, Menya died, a victim of metastatic breast cancer.
I will always remember how in 1996, after chemotherapy, surgery and radiation, her first thought was to start a support group and web site, ibcsupport.org, so people could get better information than was available in books. And how in 2000, while she was in treatment for a tumour in her brain, she started bcmets.org because there wasn't an online group at the time that made people with metastatic breast cancer feel welcome.
I will always remember how she fought with doctors, passionately arguing her case, and winning most of the time through sheer persistence - and how she inspired other people to do likewise.
And I will always remember her last months, blind, speechless, and unable to control most of her body; reduced to a wasted heap of flesh on a bed. All she wanted was to die, but the days of defeat stretched out forever without joy.
I have come to dread each October, with its regimented optimism, its tyranny of cheerfulness, and its pink ribbons that are forgotten by half way through November. I feel for the women I know who have metastatic breast cancer, most of whom will die from it and whose researchers receive pathetically small amounts of money from the major fundraising organizations.
I'm not sure if there is a point to this, except to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the death of a tragic heroine. Menya believed that you are not properly dead as long as people remember you, so if you want to do something nice today, please read some Menya anecdotes and remember her fondly.

required agencies to reduce their water intensity (gallons per square foot) by 2 percent each year through fiscal year (FY) 2015, for a total of 16 percent reduction below water consumption in 2007. Federal agencies must also ensure that 15 percent of the existing federal capital asset building inventory of each agency incorporates the sustainable practices outlined in "Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings" (hereinafter called the Guiding Principles; reprinted in Appendix E) by the end of FY 2015. The Guiding Principles are the following:
To meet the various mandates, DOD has undertaken a wide-ranging set of activities to make their facilities more sustainable, as outlined in the Department of Defense Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan for FY 2011 (DOD, 2010). These activities address issues such as renewable energy, the vulnerability of the electrical grid, chemicals of environmental concern, water resources management, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and the research and development of new technologies. Some initiatives relate to individual buildings, such as those aimed at developing net-zero-energy buildings by 2030. Others take advantage of the size and single ownership of DOD installations, which allows for large-scale, systems-based approaches involving both infrastructure systems and clusters of buildings and the use of technologies such as district energy systems, combined heat and power (co-generation) plants, geothermal conditioning systems, water capture and reuse, and others. Larger-scale planning for energy systems and for the use of renewable sources of energy also has implications for resiliency during disasters, which is a primary consideration for the 24/7 operations of DOD.
Mandates related to federal high-performance buildings call for the use of a life-cycle perspective or life-cycle costing. A life-cycle perspective involves consideration of all phases of a building's life cycle: programming/planning, design, construction, operations, maintenance and repair, retrofit, and demolition or deconstruction (Figure 2.1).
Life-cycle costing for buildings focuses on the integrated costs and performance of all building components, from planning through construction, through operations, repairs, replacements, and renovations, through disposal.
Federal agencies began using green building certification systems when those systems were being developed and tested in the late 1990s (Wang et al., 2012). The 2003 report The Federal Commitment to Green Building: Experiences and Expectations (OFEE, 2003) noted that the Office of Management and Budget's Circular A-11 encouraged agencies to incorporate ENERGY STAR®1 or LEED into designs for new buildings and major renovations. In 2003, nine federal agencies, including the General Services Administration (GSA), the Navy, and the Air Force, were using LEED or a similar system for new projects; eight federal buildings were LEED certified and 60 additional federal buildings were undergoing LEED certification (OFEE, 2003).
The Army took a different approach, developing a self-assessment tool called the Sustainable Project Rating Tool (SPiRiT) to help installations and designers quantify and measure the sustainability of infrastructure projects and military construction and repair projects. SPiRiT was first published in
1 ENERGY STAR® is a voluntary labeling program designed to identify and promote energy efficient products to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. More information is available at http://www.energystar.gov.

Wikipedia has a page about Standedge Tunnel
The Standedge Tunnels are four parallel tunnels beneath the Pennines in northern England. Three are railway tunnels and the other a canal tunnel, located at the Standedge (pronounced Stannige) crossing point between Marsden and Diggle, across the boundary between the West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester conurbations. Before boundary changes in 1974, both ends of the tunnel were in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
The canal tunnel on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, is the longest and oldest, and holds the record as the longest and highest canal tunnel in the United Kingdom. All four tunnels are linked by cross-tunnels or adits at strategic intervals to allow the railway tunnels to be built quickly, reducing the need for construction shafts, as waste could be removed by boat.
Of the railway tunnels, only the one built in 1894 is currently used for rail traffic. Closed in 1943, the canal tunnel was re-opened in May 2001. The Standedge Tunnel Visitor Centre, at the Marsden end a base for boat trips into the tunnel and hosts an exhibition depicting the different crossings.

A New Era for Greenville Pickens Speedway
EASLEY, SC -- After months of negotiations, a multi-year deal was signed late Wednesday between track owner Kevin Whitaker and the 2014 NWAAS National Points Champion, Anthony Anders, to lease the historic Greenville Pickens Speedway facility starting with the 2015 season.
Anders wasted little time Thursday in assembling and delegating responsibilities to his new "transition team" as he shared his vision for the future of GPS. "It is a huge undertaking to pull all the details together in such a short time" Anders said. "Every contract and agreement…including sanctioning bodies, vendors, suppliers, service providers, advertisers, staff, and employees has to be reviewed, negotiated, and signed."
Anthony Anders will take on the role of General Manager and Promoter. He will be bringing in a mix of new employees in combination with many of the previous G-P staff. The biggest change competitors and fans will see will be along pit road and in the garage area. More technical inspectors and pit stewards are being brought in to better facilitate efficient operations and close competition. "Safety is our main focus…as we strive to improve the outdated facility and strengthen weekly programs ", Anders added. "I've already gotten confirmation of support from these community businesses: Southern Utilities, Bryan Ramey & Associates, Martin & Martin Auto Auction, Bank of Travelers Rest, Outback Steakhouse of Easley, ORTEC Racing…just to name a few." Another new addition will be Anders' daughter, Kirstie. She is putting together a kids club fan program - organizing fun activities and giveaways for the youth each week during intermission.
Greg Guarry will be the Facilities and Operations Manager as well as the new Competition Director. He'll be Anders' eyes and ears at the track while handling the daily operations and competition administration. Greg brings a wealth of knowledge with him to GPS with a racing resume spanning 30 years. From his stock car beginnings at Langley Speedway in Hampton, VA, he has held positions in car ownership, management, crew chief, engineering, and spotter in all of NASCAR's divisions. Greg is currently the Senior Engineer at Ortec Machining and Fabrication and has held that position for the past 9 years. He has also worked closely in the past with notable car builders Mike Laughlin, Jay Hedgecock, and Rick Townsend. Greg's biggest initial task will be implementing automation and enhanced services, including a new electronic timing and scoring system for all divisions at GPS. Greg and his team will also be revamping rules, policies, and procedures relating to all technical aspects of competition. He will also be hosting a pre-season information meeting with each division to issue the 2015 rules package and moderate a Q&A session with the race teams.
Several familiar faces will return. Cary Hardin will continue his duties as weekly race director and social media manager; while Mark Turner will resume his flagging duties and trackside voice of G-P in victory lane. Long time race journalist, Reese Fant, will also be topside, to document each week's racing action for the weekly race report and press release. Other positions will be added and announced as agreements are reached.
While the official 2015 Season Schedule is set to be released next week, GPS management has confirmed the season is expected to run as usual, from early March until late September…with a practice session tenatively scheduled in late February. There are just a few outstanding dates remaining to be confirmed by several touring series and other special events.
Many improvements, needed repairs, and the beginning phases of implementation of Anders' new vision for the future of GPS are already underway at this historic facility. We hope everyone will make their plans to stop by and check out the NEW Greenville-Pickens Speedway this spring!
Anders Completes Journey To National Title

On Track Incident Procedure
In alignment with NASCAR new ruling to keep drivers safe during on-track incidents, GPS has also adopted the following rule:
On-Track Incident Procedure: (added August 2014)
During an event, if a race car is involved in an on-track incident and/or is stopped on or near the racing surface and unable to continue to make forward progress, unless extenuating emergency conditions exist with the race car (i.e. fire, smoke in cockpit, etc.) the driver should take the following steps:
• Shut off electrical power and, if driver is uninjured, lower window net
• Do not loosen, disconnect or remove any driver personal safety equipment until directed to do so by safety personnel or a NASCAR/Track Official
• After being directed to exit the racecar, the driver should proceed to either the ambulance, other vehicle, or as otherwise directed by safety personnel or a NASCAR/Track Official
• At no time should a driver or crew member(s) approach any portion of the racing surface or apron
• At no time should a driver or crew member(s) approach another moving vehicle
All vehicles not involved in the incident or that are able to continue afterwards should slow down to a cautious speed, use extreme care as they approach an incident scene, and follow any directions given by safety personnel or NASCAR/Track Officials. Cars in line behind the leader should not weave or otherwise stray from the line in the vicinity of the incident.

Sweden Recognizes File-Sharing Group As Religion

Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer. A new church has been recognized by Sweden - the Church of Kopimisms. Its sacred symbols are control C and control V - cut and paste. Here's the deal. It's an article of faith in this new church that all information should be shared. So is this the church of Internet piracy? Members say no. People working on a piracy crackdown say a church won't serve as a shield for pirates. It's MORNING EDITION.

Newgrounds is a great place to find new contacts. So this happened to me when I came across the composition "Mayhem Market" by Nick Standing aka Jabun who appeared to be quite a talented guitarist. He gladly accepted my offer to work on a joint project and after a week of collaboration we are happy to introduce to you "Mountains of Gold". Working on this piece was a new experience for both of us and a whole lot of fun. We hope we've produced something that'll give you as much joy listening as we had making it!

Rated 5 / 5 stars
This song was wonderful it is rare that I find music as well themed or as masterfully done as this. Kudos to you.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
It sounds fantastic. Great job, to both of you. It's got a really good adventure-like feel too it, as though something big is about to happen. Most of all, though, it takes me back to when I was younger. It makes me feel like I'm running through the Overworld of a Final Fantasy game.
The guitar wasn't overwhelming as it tends to be in most arrangements and fit perfectly in with the other instruments. The String Instruments of the Orchestra are probably my favorite parts to the song. The really drive the feeling home.
I could sit here all day and write a review on how much I enjoy listening to this song, but that doesn't serve a purpose for any of us.
Nonetheless, 5/5, 10/10, however you want to call it. Great work, simple perfection to me. I can't think of much that you could do to improve this composition.
Regards, PANChan
Unfortunately, I'm not a console gamer myself. But this is really great if the piece we produced actually gives you such feelings. It was a challenging task to blend acoustic guitar and orchestra together and I'm not sure if I can ever repeat the success but everything's possible. We already have a piece in mind that you might enjoy when it's done. Wish us luck, then! :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Wow this is great music since this type of music is hard to make. So keep it up!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Man, this blew me the hell away. I have no crits or advice, I enjoyed every second of it.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Astounding, I had grown so used to Newgrounds audio being completely techno, electronic, house, etc. Then this comes along and cuts down my expectations with remarkable string work. The feeling of adventure is just so powerful that I would go as far as to say that it would belong in The Lord of the Rings. Thank you so much for sharing.
Actually, I have to disagree on the point of Newgrounds being more about electronic music. I've been here for what seems like a couple of months and I already know there are some really great orchestrators. But maybe it's just my perception :) Thank you for reviewing, it means a lot for me and Nick!

Hello everyone, I have a question after fermenting my first All Grain beer. After opening the fermenter for dry hopping and measuring my final gravity I noticed what is pictured below... Is this infection or yeast floating? I used the BRY 97 and have never noticed this when I have done extract brews in the past. Thanks for your help.
Yeast floating. It doesn't look like an infection.
Yeast is brown infection is white??
Yeast can be white too. You will definitely know when you have an infection. Those are just yeast rafts. Relax, bottle or keg it, and enjoy when carbed.
Agreed, yeast. Totally normal
God invented whiskey to keep the Irish from ruling the world.

For example, Maybe give in on magazine capacity and recieve national recognition on ccdw. Another idea is paying a tax on ammo or firearms, paying for a safety program in all public schools and having a federal permit. Just some thought's but not endorsing any.

WolverineNation's recruiting calendar
By Chantel Jennings and Tom VanHaaren
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- With only around 16 spots in the 2014 class, this should be an interesting few months for the Wolverines. Between different NCAA-regulated contact periods as well as spring ball and campus events, Michigan will have its hands full evaluating talent as it looks to fill out spots in a class that already has four Watch List commitments.
So to make it easier to take in, WolverineNation breaks down the spring and summer months.
Feb. 8-April 14:
Quiet period
During this time, the only contact coaches can have with prospects are phone calls, letters and on-campus visits. This is a great time to get players on campus because with spring practice going on, prospects can come in and see what a Brady Hoke practice really looks like.
April 3-4:
Big campus visitors weekend
So far, four prospects with Michigan offers will be in this weekend. Headlining the group will be Watch List athlete
Jabrill Peppers
(Paramus, N.J./Paramus Catholic), who already has Michigan in his top group. He'll be visiting with high school teammate
Juwann Bushell-Beatty
, who also holds an offer from the Wolverines. Michigan will host another big offensive lineman, Watch List guard
Sam Mustipher
(Olney, Md./Our Lady of Good Counsel). Mustipher is a family friend and former teammate of Blake CountessĀand has Countess' father in his ear constantly about Michigan. Finally, defensive tackle
Brady Pallante
(Naples, Fla./Barron Collier) will be in town. He doesn't have an offer from the Wolverines, but it shows a lot of interest on his part that he's willing to visit regardless.
April 13:
Michigan's spring game
This is always a big visit weekend. Michigan will have three of its 2014 commitments in town --
Michael Ferns
(St. Clairsville, Ohio/St. Clairsville),
Wilton Speight
(Richmond, Va./Collegiate School) and
Mason Cole
(Tarpon Springs, Fla./East Lake) -- so the coaching staff won't be the only ones with recruiting hats on. Cole will be bringing his high school teammate Watch List wide receiver
Artavis Scott
along with him. It will be Scott's third time on campus. The visitor list for this event should grow.
April 15-May 31:
Evaluation period
During this time, the NCAA allows coaches to make two visits to high schools, where they can see prospects work out, chat with coaches and get academic records.
May 5:
Chicago Nike Football Training Camp
June 1-July 31:
Quiet period
June 2:
Columbus Nike Football Training Camp
June 15-16:
Sound Mind Sound Body camp (Southfield, Mich.)
This event gained some fame last year when Hoke was seen eating chicken wings with Ohio State coach Urban Meyer. This year, it'll be the same thing -- coaches from different programs will be working with players. Though, no promises on a shared meal.
June 16-20:
Michigan's football camp
Michigan will have hundreds of players on campus but will have its eyes on a few in particular. The Wolverines have already asked some players, including 2015 quarterback
Jayru Campbell
(Detroit/Cass Tech), to make sure they're in attendance. It's a solid period for coaches to evaluate in person and get a good reading on players' attitudes and work ethics. Last year,
Channing Stribling
picked up his offer after camp, so it's an important week for kids who are on the tipping point of an offer.
Early July:
Nike's The Opening (Beaverton, Ore.)
Late July:
BBQ at the Big House
The BBQ actually started under Rich Rodriguez, but Hoke has put his own spin on it, and it's a big day for recruits and commits. Expect some of the 2013 signees to stop by for a bit. Recruits have lauded this event for it's laid-back nature and the ability to see coaches interact with their families, giving prospects a good idea of what coaches mean by a family atmosphere at Michigan.

The event will feature men with their hearts in the right place, walking in high heels to help educate others about gender violence. Women and girls are invited to walk, too.
''The top 12 individuals who raise the most funds for the Rape Crisis Center will receive a red chocolate stiletto by Fairlawn's own North Coast Expressions,'' said event spokeswoman Mary Hartz. ''The chocolate stiletto may also be purchased by family and friends walking in the event or for any shoe lover. The limited edition red stiletto designed specifically for the event will be offered now through April 29 for $30, with $5 from the sale of every shoe going to the Rape Crisis Center.''
Registration is 5 to 6 p.m.
