I got an inquiry last week from a police chief in a smallish town. He told me about a department employee who went through the grievance process after he was fired from his job. A grievance panel upheld the dismissal.
The employee got a copy of the panel's report, and the chief was saying that he knew he'd get media requests for the report. He wanted to know what his obligations were under FOIA. He was worried about violating the employee's privacy rights.
His question brought up two issues that come to me frequently, and I appreciated the chief's willingness to discuss them. On is private, the other public. One is the notion of privacy under FOIA. The other is how FOIA can be the government's best friend when it comes to public relations.
As for privacy, there is no general privacy exemption in Virginia's FOIA. Some states do have such an exemption, and some states require weighing the public interest in disclosing records against someone's privacy rights. And the federal FOIA has said that records that identify specific individuals are exempt.
But not Virginia.
There are places in the act that will exempt personally identifying information -- medical and scholastic records in general, and then as applied to specific government agencies, programs or activities.
There's an exemption that's often misused for "personal information" as defined in another statute (which would include names and addresses), but a close inspection of that exemption (as well as knowledge of the provision's origin) reveals that it is only for the names and addresses of people signing up for a government's email alerts.
Furthermore, under FOIA, there is no definition of what information is "private." Names, addresses and phone numbers (unless unlisted) are published in every phone book. We freely give our names and addresses to commercial entities, we wear name tags at public events and we adorn our vanity license plates with the names of our spouses and children.
Of course, the chief may have been less concerned with names and addresses than he was with the details of the employee's termination. And there is an exemption for personnel records, as well as one for personal information in an inactive file that's gone through the Department of Employment Dispute Resolution.
Both of these exemptions, however, are discretionary. There may be other places in the Virginia Code that would prevent the release of some part of the report (and I advised him to find that out), but FOIA says only that the information may be withheld. It does not have to be, though.
And that's where public relations comes into play. The chief and I both recognized that in this case, because there was a great deal of public interest, it would be in the department's best interest to release the report. That may sound backwards, but in this case, the department's best interest is also the public's best interest. The public wants reassurance that the process was fairly and thoroughly administered. The department wantsd the public to know that, too. And so the chief was inclined to release the report (pending finding out about other code sections, of course).
Sometimes government representatives get so caught up in the trees of finding all the FOIA exemptions that could apply, that they lose sight of the forest that is their own best interest. And their own relationship to the public.
Releasing records is often the best way to dispel rumors and to assure the public that your walk matches your talk. The less time spent fighting disclosure, the less time the public has to concoct conspiracies about what is being hidden from them and why.
I don't know anything about the circumstances of the employee's firing. And nothing else may ever come of this situation. But it's not hard to imagine other firing situations where sour grapes bloom and grow. It's not hard to imagine something going wrong with a building project or a contract or development of some policy. And when the government can say, "Here are the records, judge for yourself," they come away looking open and honest. There will still be those who disagree and who want to make hay, but at least the hay can be made about the issue itself instead of why records are being withheld.
The more open the FOIA process, the more opportunities for the public to trust that their interests are at the base of all government decisions.

A popular variant of pancakes, but not excessively spongy, is crepe.To make uniform, lean crepe pancakes, distribute the pancake mix up on a
flat griddle pan at an angle or by a particular spatula.
Crepe Pancakes are very versatile. It is possible to think of a variety of variations for scrumptious fillings. One can use cooked rooster or pulled pork as filling. This can be a great breakfast choice. These pancakes tend to be given with sour cream .

Erin Rodenbiker and Heather Juul went on a cross-cultural immersion trip to South Korea in September, a requirement for the Master of Divinity program at Seattle Pacific Seminary (SPS). We asked them to reflect on the new perspectives they gained during their time abroad.
Erin Rodenbiker: Heather, can you believe that our Korea trip was four months ago?
Heather Juul: What? Have we been back four months? With PSY's "Gangnam Style" 1 on Glee, Ellen, and seemingly everywhere else, it almost feels like we never left Seoul.
ER: Yeah, between that and the early-morning prayer gathering a few students at SPS started, Korea is sticking with me really well too. We meet for early-morning prayer at 6am, and that is early, but just once a week, rather than daily like we did in Korea.
HJ: Wow. I'm glad some of you are continuing morning prayer. I'd like to say that graduating and working at UPC prevent me from joining you, but really it's the 6am thing. When we were in Korea I was always sleepy during prayer, but that might have been the jet lag.
ER: There is something to the early morning commitment. I can't say that I have always been conscious of it, but it is quite a beautiful way to start the day.
HJ: I miss the Korean prayer style. It was freeing to be able to pray aloud, while everyone else is also praying out loud, actually yelling the names of God. It was pretty shocking the first time I heard hundreds of seminary students shouting "Juuyo" (주여). 2 But after a while I got used to the fervent shouting prayers. Even now, several months after we came back, praying silently just seems way too quiet.
ER: The church in Korea is so committed to Christian practices. During my homestay with a seminary student we spent the whole weekend at church—Saturday from 10am-10pm and Sunday 7am-6pm. I mean, I like church—I am a seminary student—but when is brunch and football?
HJ: I totally know what you mean. During my homestay I attended a Friday night service that went late into the evening. And then on Sunday I attended three services and two meals with church staff. Then I felt bad that I missed two additional services and street evangelism in the afternoon.
ER: I think it's our own cultural bias to think this is a lot, but the church community is at the center of social life in Korea, and all people are helping the church function. In Seattle it's something I squeeze in for an hour and 20 minutes one day of the week—or skip altogether. Korea taught me a lot about being a part of a church.
HJ: Church certainly is the social event of the week for most Christian Koreans. The seminary students that were our guides to Korean society, culture, and theology spend a lot of time at church, chapel, and in prayer. This does not seem to be a burden for them, but rather a joy. These students loved taking us to local restaurants or to get ice cream, but my favorite time was when we spent an entire afternoon singing hymns and worship songs with them.
ER: "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" has haunted me ever since we sang it in Korea. It pops up in Sunday worship, American Idol, blogs, Sufjan Stevens concerts. It follows me like Casper. Or in this case I should probably say the Holy Ghost.
HJ: "Come Thou Fount" has a whole new meaning for me too. I remember when all six of us Seattle seminary students sang it with the Korean students in English and Korean. Clara, one of the Korean students said, "Now I feel like we are one." It was like our hearts, despite all the language barriers and differences, had been tuned together to sing the graces of God.
ER: So well said! We exchanged our cultural gifts of song—same tune, different language. That has been such an important theme since returning from Korea. Just as the song lasts, so too does our common faith and community in Jesus all over the globe. The immersion trip was not about us giving, but rather receiving from the people who welcomed us into their lives.

So the job search isn't going well, and it's time to pull some "out-of-the-box" tactics? Okay, fair enough, try these:
Use YouTube to get your point across. Even if you're not in a creative field you can make a video (or get someone to help you) illustrating how you would solve a particular need or problem the company has. All that's left is to include a link to the video in your resume or if you know your target's LinkedIn or Twitter address, to send it on over and see what happens.
Show, don't tell
Let's say you got the interview, with or without YouTube's help. Don't waste the opportunity. Let your interviewers know that you know the company's goals and plans, (you do know them, right?) and how you, personally, can help it achieve its objectives. Break out a whiteboard if you have to, or use theirs and be prepared to do a presentation right there on the spot.
It's a creative job? Make sure you've stocked your computer with the requisite material. Better yet, make sure the material relates somehow to the company's objectives. One web designer I know got the job as the company's chief web and information officer because she surprised them with a total redesign of the company's web site and explained how it would help it grow.
You are a star
Be proactive. If you're web savvy, what are you waiting for? These days, it's very easy to create a customized Web site for free. This is great for you, because you can build one specifically geared towards getting a job with a particular company. Building one takes about an hour. Again, be creative; stock it with videos and presentations geared towards a particular theme. It could be about how you would solve a particular problem for the company or what makes you the best asset for the company above all else. You can devote whole pages to those ideas, and include your resume. See what we're saying? Instead of just a resume, you can send out a customized, firing-on-all-eight, resume-on-steroids to your intended target, an almost guaranteed to get your foot in the door.

A camping recipe from J.T. Premixed, it doesn't require refrigeration and can be carried in a backpack. I have used this recipe at home and in camp for about 40 years now and it always pays off with compliments and requests for more.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
- 2 cups flour
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 2/3 cup buttermilk or canned milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Mix dry ingredients together and cut in shortening with a pastry cutter or fork until about the same consistency as large curd cottage cheese. Add most of the milk and mix with a fork until it comes together and forms a dough. If too dry or wet, add more milk or flour until you can work it easily (it's not sticky). Knead no more than about a dozen times on a floured surface and then pat or roll to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into approximately 2" circles with a cutter, jar or glass and place in an un-greased pan with edges touching. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until just turning brown at the edges and top. Use for camping by premixing all the ingredients except for the milk, adding the appropriate amount of powdered milk (about 4 tablespoons), and storing it in a plastic bag. Add 2/3 cup water in camp and bake in a Dutch oven or a cast iron skillet with a lid you can place coals on.

Heaslip adamant Sexton is focused
ESPN Staff
January 30, 2013
Jonathan Sexton will leave Ireland at the end of the season © Getty Images
Ireland skipper Jamie Heaslip insists he has no reservations over Jonathan Sexton's mindset after the fly-half confirmed last week that he will leave Leinster at the end of the season.
Racing Metro are rumoured to be Sexton's eventual destination but before all that, Sexton has a Six Nations and a potential British & Irish Lions tour on his radar. Last week Sexton's Leinster colleague Rob Kearney revealed that the No.10 was "upset" by the way negotiations unfolded and did not want to leave Dublin.
It has been reported that Sexton was disappointed not to have been offered parity with Heaslip, but Ireland's new captain denied the issue had affected their relationship. When asked if there was any tension between himself and Sexton, Heaslip replied: "No, not in the slightest. It (France) has always been there, it's not like it's a new ball park. I doubt Jonny's thinking about being a guinea pig for anyone else.
"There hasn't been much chat except a bit of banter and trying to speak French to him. Jonny had to weigh up the offers and chose the option he chose. As a club-mate at Leinster and friend it's disappointing to lose him. We're going to miss him.
"It will be an amazing adventure for him and I'm sure he's looking forward to it. He's the ultimate professional. He came in on Sunday night and was good to go.....as cranky as ever. The business is done and now he's onto the next challenge."
Sexton will start for Ireland against Wales on Saturday as his team seek to end their three-match losing streak against the Grand Slam champions. And Ireland boss Declan Kidney is under no illusions over just how difficult their task is going to be. "Wales are the champions, we're going to their back yard and they'll be smarting from their disappointing November, so we know we're fully up against it," Kidney said.
"The Six Nations has now become unique in that there is no back door - there are no bonus points or home and away games like there are in the Heineken Cup. It's not quite knock-out rugby but if you get off to a good start in your first game, it gives you a great chance to go on and do things."

Matthew Salafia, Adjunct Lecturer
Office: Minard 316D
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I have been teaching at NDSU since Fall 2009. I have taught courses in both English and American history. The English courses I have taught include, Eng 358 (Writing in the Humanities and Social Sciences) and Eng 317 (American Literature I). This fall, in addition to teaching 358, I will be teaching an honors colloquium called Democracy and Protest: American Radicalism.
I received my PhD in American history from the University of Notre Dame in 2009. My book, Slavery's Borderland: Freedom and Bondage Along the Ohio River, was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in June 2013http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/15086.html. In this book I argue that in antebellum America the Ohio River was a borderland where slavery and freedom intersected in unexpected ways. Influencing the lives of all who lived along its banks, the Ohio River border became the seam that held the region together against the threat of civil war.
Currently, I am working a new project on patriotism in post 9/11 America. In an effort to capture the broad range of expressions of patriotic duty, I am drawing on a sampling of newspapers, television news coverage, oral histories, blog entries, discussion boards, emails, digital memoirs, and images of spontaneous memorials.

Caroline Manzo was in the news last week, because she apparently really wanted Teresa Giudice off The Real Housewives of New Jersey. In fact, she was so passionate about getting Teresa booted from the show that she threatened to quit the show if she was signed on for the next season of the show. Well, apparently none of those stories are true according to a new article by Wetpaint Entertainment. It sounds like she didn't actually want Teresa off the show, although she doesn't seem eager to film with her, either.
Well, Caroline is denying the claims that she wanted Teresa off the show. Radar Online has reported that she is very jealous of Teresa and all the attention she is getting from her bestselling books. And when comparing Teresa's cookbooks to Caroline Manzo's radio fame, there really is no comparison. The jealousy is so bad, apparently, that Caroline is trying to turn all the housewives against Teresa—her or the wives is the ultimatum she hopes Bravo will face later this year when contracts for the fifth season will be issued.
"I'll say it again—[I] have not once nor ever will demand to Bravo that any cast members be removed from show—not my style," Caroline wrote on her Twitter to settle the rumors. However, it doesn't seem like the drama is settling. However, Caroline doesn't need to rally up the housewives against Teresa. They already seem to dislike her.
Do you think Caroline made those comments, or is this yet another rumor to get attention?

Create a Website using Microsoft Publisher 2007
Created for Denise Harrison's College Writing Classes
Note: You can use Publisher 2003 if you have it. If you don't have Publisher 2007, you can download and install a trial version of Publisher 2007 from microsoft.
For MAC users:
If you have a MAC, you can use i-Web to create this website. You will also have to download and install special FTP sofrtware, like "FETCH" to upload your website to Kent's Personal server. You can download the software you need to upload your website to the kent server for free from http://helpdesk.kent.edu/software.
Scroll down to "Macintosh Software" then either choose the Fugu SSH Client or Fetch FTP Client. Either works and both are free but Fetch will require you to get their "free" license within 30 days after 1st run to keep it working. I found Fugo works just fine and once installed... it works forever.
For this project you will use Publisher (or i-Web on a MAC) to:
- Create a 4 page website with a:
- Home page
- This page will have a "haiku", Mission statement and navigation links to the other pages on your site
- Issues Page
- This page will describing major issues
- It will have the links to the other pages on your site
- Ask the Experts page
- This page will have information provided by "other experts" in the field. It could also have links to their websites.
- It will have links to the other pages on your site
- Related Links page
- You will have links to related informational websites
- You will create a link to your "Reflections" document on this page
- It will also have the links to the other pages on your site.
- Home page
- You will use Microsoft Word to write your "Reflections" document, save it as a Microsoft word document, place it inside your website folder, then create a "link" to the document from your Related Links page.
- Finally, you will upload your website AND the Microsoft word document to the Kent Personal Server
- Create a folder on your Jump Drive and name it anything you want. For this tutorial we'll name it "writing".
- Open Publisher 2007
- Choose Web Sites from the Publication Types in the window on the left.
- Choose a Design for your website from the Newer Designs or Classic Designs in the middle window.
- Under Options in the right window, choose where you want the navigation bar and leave Use Easy Web Wizard checked
- Click the Create button on the lower right corner
- The Easy Web Site Builder window will open.
- It already includes a �Home� page� so you have one page down, three to go...
- You need to add 3 more pages (since you are required to have 4 pages on your website)
- You can check any 3 of the boxes for types of pages but you might try the following:
- Tell customers about my business (About Us) - This will become your "Issues" page
- Describe services - This will become your "Ask the Experts" page
- Provide links to other Web pages - This is become your "Related Links" page
- Click OK
- A four page website will automatically be created and will open
- Before continuing, SAVE your PUBLISHER document.
- Click File > Save As then navigate to the folder, �writing� that you created on your jump drive in the earlier step. Name the file, anything will work: you can name it writing web project or something like that. Then click Save.
Edit the Pages - This is easy. Just select and replace text or pictures with your own text and pictures
Select and type-over existing text to change the text.
Right click on pictures and choose change picture to replace pictures with your own pictures
You can download images (pictures) from google.com. Remember to click on the image's thumbnail then choose the See Full Size Image then right click on the full size image and choose Save Picture As. You should save these pictures to your jump drive but you don't have to save them inside your "website" folder.
Change the names of your website's navigation links as needed:
Change the text for the About Us link to: Ask the Expert
When you change the name of a link in the navigation menu on one page, all of the page's navigation menu link names will change.
You can add links to other websites on the Related Links page
- Select and change the text for the link to the name of the website you want to link to.
- Right click on the text then choose "Hyperlink".
Choose Link to: Existing File or Web Page
In the Address window, type in the full URL (including the http:// ) for the website you want to link the text to then click OK.
Repeat this for all the website links you want to create.
- Click FILE > SAVE AS and save your Publisher Document.
THIS IS NOT THE WEBSITE YET, but you will need this document to make any changes to your website's pages so save it somewhere safe. You can save it inside the "website" folder if you want but it won't be necessary to upload this file to the server since it's not the website itself. Again... You do have to reopen this Publisher Document to make changes to your website.
Now it's time to actually create your website from the Publisher Document.
- Choose File > Publish to the Web
- Accept all defaults and make sure that you navigate and publish (or save) into the folder you created above, for this tutorial we named it, "website".
OPEN & LOOK INSIDE THE "website" FOLDER
- Inside the "website" folder you should have a file named, index.htm and an index_files folder
- Note: If you saved your Publisher Document (it will have a .pub filename extension) inside the "website" folder, it will be in there too. But, as mentioned, this isn't really part of the website you will need to upload to the server. It's only needed to edit/modify your website. Every time you edit/modify the website using the publisher document you have to re-publish it using File > Publish to the Web.
- Both of these are important!
- index.htm is your "home page".
- The index_files folder holds the other 3 pages on your website as well as all the pictures used on these pages and on the home page as well.
- First move or put a copy of your Reflections word document into the index_files FOLDER
- Now, create the link on the "Related Links" page to the word document.
- Right click on the text on the Related Links page you want to use as the link then choose Hyperlink
- Remember to change the text for the link to something like, "My Reflections".
- Choose Link to: Existing File or Web Page
- Now, navigate to the "writing" folder and open the index_files folder
- Find and click on your "Reflections" word document.
- In the "Address" window you will notice a long "path" to the word document has been created. This won't work and it's a "bug" in Publisher that needs to be corrected... We'll do that next.
- Select and delete all of the "path" information from the Address Window except for just the filename of your "Reflections" word document.
- The filename of the word document should be the only thing you see in the Address window!
- Click OK
- Select and delete all of the "path" information from the Address Window except for just the filename of your "Reflections" word document.
- Right click on the text on the Related Links page you want to use as the link then choose Hyperlink
- Save your Publisher Document.
Since you made changes since the first time you saved your Publisher Document, you need to re-Publish to the Web to save these changes on your actual website.
- Choose File > Publish to the Web
- Accept all defaults and make sure that you navigate and publish (or save) into the folder you created above, for this tutorial we named it, "website".
- Click YES when asked if you want to Replace Existing File
While you still have the "Publisher" document open you can choose FILE > WEB PAGE PREVIEW
- This will open the "Publisher" document in Internet Explorer so you can see how it looks and try the links.
- However.... AND THIS IS IMPORTANT..... the link to your "Reflections" word document (or any other link to documents or media) will not work in WEB PAGE PREVIEW. ... ANOTHER "BUG" IN PUBLISHER! For these links to work, you have to upload your website to the Server or open the "index.htm" file directly in a browser.
- Open "MY COMPUTER"
- If you have IE 6, you can just do this in the Browser, but it won't work in IE7 so it's best to just use "My Computer" if you're not sure which version of IE you have.
Type ftp://mail.kent.edu/public_html into the address bar in the "My Computer" window
When prompted, enter your Kent Flashline user name (without the @kent.edu) and your Flashline Password
Remember that the user name and password are case sensitive!
The "My Computer" window should now show what you have on the Kent Personal server. If you haven't used it, there won't be anything there. It will be empty.
Now, just drag and drop the file: index.htm and the folder: index_files from inside the "website" folder you created on your Jump Drive to the open My Computer window.
NOTE: If you can't login to the Kent Personal Server using the above instructions, then there may be one of two possible problems:
1. Try this first: If you haven�t done so already or within the past year, you need to change your flashline password. The instructions for doing this are at: https://flashword.kent.edu After changing your password, try ftp�ing again.
2. If #1 above didn�t solve the problem you may not have been provided with the proper permissions to use this space on the server by the IT department or a �public_html� folder wasn�t created automatically for you on the server. Only the IT dept staff can correct this problem. I believe your instructor will be collecting the names of all the students that can�t login to the server so they can all be submitted to the HelpDesk at one time. Your instructor will need to know your flashline user name.
To View Your Website "ON THE WEB"
Open Internet Explorer
Enter http://www.personal.kent.edu/~yourusername in the browser's address window
Replace "yourusername" with your actual flashline user name. Remember to add the "~" character before your user name.
Hit the Enter Key. Your website should open in the browser... if you did everything right. Be sure to check all of your links!
Need to make changes after uploading your website to the server? Remember the following:
- You can't edit your website by open the index.html file
- You must OPEN THE PUBLISHER DOCUMENT, the one with the .pub extension, to make changes to your web pages.
- You can't open the Publisher Document from the "server". You must open it from your Jump Drive to edit it.
- After editing the Publisher Document, choose Publish to the Web and make sure that you choose "replace existing file".
NOTE: THIS WILL NOT CHANGE THE PAGES ON THE SERVER. IT ONLY UPDATES THE PAGES ON YOUR JUMP DRIVE. YOU MUST UPLOAD THE CHANGED PAGES TO THE SERVER TO SEE THE CHANGES ON THE WEB (see next step).
- After that, you need to log back into the server (using the FTP address provided above) then drag and drop both the index.htm and index_files folder from your Jump Drive to the server replacing the existing files on the server with the revised file/folder.
- You should see a window called, Confirm File Replace.
- Click on the Yes to ALL button
If you didn�t see the Confirm File Replace window, then you may not be placing the files in the right place.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO DRAG AND DROP ONTO THE index_files FOLDER THAT IS ALREADY ON THE SERVER. That will place the �revised� pages into that folder instead of replacing the existing pages and folder.
IF YOU DID THIS, YOU WON�T SEE THE Confirm File Replace window BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, YOU WON�T SEE ANY CHANGES WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR PAGES IN YOUR WEB BROWSER BECAUSE YOUR ENTIRE �REVISED� WEBSITE HAS BEEN PLACED INTO THAT FOLDER.
If you think you did that, just open the index_files folder on the server and look to see if it contains another index_files folder and index.htm file. If it does, delete them then redo step 5 above.

Child support and visitation are viewed as two completely separate issues in the eyes of the law. Parents don't "earn" the right to a relationship with their child by paying child support. It seems like that would be logical, but it just doesn't work that way. Before you go so far as to withhold visitation for unpaid child support, consider the following:
Visitation is Your Child's Right
Ultimately, it is each child's right to be able to know and enjoy a relationship with both parents. If a non-custodial parent can't afford to pay child support (for example, due to a job loss), then the child shouldn't have to "pay" by being prevented from having a relationship with him or her.
Financial Support is Each Parents' Responsibility
In addition, it is both parents' responsibility to provide for a child's financial needs. Deciding not to have a relationship with one's child, as some non-custodial parents have done, does not excuse the parent from his or her financial responsibilities. Therefore, parents who don't regularly see their children are still required to pay child support.
What You Should Do About Unpaid Child Support
If you're frustrated over unpaid child support, contact your local Office of Child Support Enforcement to report your concerns. They will be able to apply sanctions, such as garnishing pay, not allowing him or her to obtain a legal passport, intercepting unemployment compensation, and even enforcing jail time.
What You Should Not Do About Unpaid Child Support
Do not fall into the trap of withholding visitations over unpaid child support. In determining custody issues, many jurisdictions are placing increasing importance on whether each parent supports the child's relationship with the other parent. Therefore, any attempt to withhold visitation - except in situations where you believe your child is in danger - could ultimately be used against you.

Sun Apr 27, 2014 8:06 pmBrandon McCarthy allowed two runs over seven innings, striking out 12, in a loss to the Phillies on Sunday.
Fantasy Source Spin: The start was easily McCarthy's best of the young season, but he still took his fifth loss for his efforts. The right-hander gave up seven hits and a walk in the start. His 12 strikeouts was a career high for a single game, as his previous career-best mark was 10. Hopefully trending upward, McCarthy will continue to look for his first win Saturday at the Padres.
Sun Apr 27, 2014 8:01 pmBen Revere went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored against the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Fantasy Source Spin: The stolen base was Revere's ninth with just one caught stealing thus far. He's been on fire at the plate of late, notching at least two hits in six of his last seven games. The multi-hit onslaught has raised Revere's average to .312 through 23 games.
Sun Apr 27, 2014 7:38 pmJose Abreu went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI as the White Sox beat the Rays 9-2 on Sunday.
Fantasy Source Spin: The home run, a two-run shot, gives Abreu 10 homers on the year. His four-RBI day -- he also drove in two with a single in the seventh inning -- raises his total to 31 RBI. Both are good for most in baseball. The 27-year-old rookie couldn't have asked for a better start to his major league career.
Sun Apr 27, 2014 7:08 pmStarlin Castro went 3-for-4 with two home runs in the Cubs' 4-0 win over the Brewers on Sunday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Castro's homers provided the bookends for the Cubs' scoring on the day, as his solo shot in the second inning got them on the board before his second solo homer made it a four-run lead in the eighth. He's now got four home runs in April; he didn't hit his fourth home run last year until June 29.
Sun Apr 27, 2014 6:50 pmHector Rondon struck out the side in the ninth inning of the Cubs' 4-0 win over the Brewers on Sunday.
Fantasy Source Spin: It wasn't officially a save situation with the Cubs leading by four, but it's clear that Rondon has Cubs manager Rick Renteria's confidence. His competition for the ninth inning role, Pedro Strop, pitched a scoreless eighth inning in the game. It's a good bet that Rondon gets the call the next time the Cubs need a save.
Sun Apr 27, 2014 6:45 pmJason Hammel quieted the Brewers' bats over seven innings Sunday, giving up just three hits in the victory.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hammel also walked two and struck out seven over his seven shutout innings. The right-hander has been nothing short of terrific this season, as the win moved him to 4-1 with a 2.08 ERA and 0.69 WHIP. Hammel has another stiff test Saturday when he takes on the Cardinals.
Sun Apr 27, 2014 6:42 pmJhonny Peralta went 2-for-2 with two home runs and four RBI in the Cardinals' 7-0 win over the Pirates on Sunday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Peralta has been feast or famine for much of the season, as he's now got six home runs while batting just .195. The shortstop hit one into the upper deck in left field in the sixth inning before pulling a three-run shot into the Pirates' bullpen in the seventh. Both homers came off Pirates starter Edinson Volquez.
Sun Apr 27, 2014 6:13 pmAdam Wainwright continued his dominance over the National League on Sunday, going eight scoreless innings in the Cardinals' win over the Pirates.
Fantasy Source Spin: Wainwright needed 99 pitches to get through eight shutout innings, giving up three hits and two walks while striking out seven. The right-hander hasn't allowed a run in his last three starts spanning 24 innings. In all, he's 5-1 with a 1.20 ERA and 0.78 WHIP. The Cubs will try to solve Wainwright when he and the Cardinals visit on Saturday.
Sun Apr 27, 2014 1:01 amAdrian Gonzalez went 2-for-3 and homered in a third straight game Saturday against the Rockies.
Fantasy Source Spin: That's eight homers already for Gonzalez. Last year, he didn't hit his eighth until June 3. In 2012, it was July 18. If this keeps up, he'll finish with 30 homers for the first time since 2010, his last year with the Padres.
Sat Apr 26, 2014 9:41 pmDavid Hale tossed eight innings of one-run ball Saturday in the Braves' 4-1 win over the Reds.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hale allowed just two Cincinnati hits, and they both came in the first inning. He struck out four and watched his ERA drop from 2.93 to 2.31 in the dominant outing. Unfortunately, the 26-year-old right-hander is likely to lose his rotation spot next week when Mike Minor (shoulder) is activated. But he'll be worth re-adding in fantasy leagues if he gets another shot down the road.
Sat Apr 26, 2014 4:33 pmJose Bautista went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, but it wasn't enough for the Blue Jays to overcome the Red Sox on Saturday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bautista also doubled in the ballgame, scored a pair of runs and drove home two. His solo blast came off Red Sox closer Koji Uehara in the ninth inning, pulling the Jays to within a run at 7-6, but that would be as close as they'd get. Now fully healthy, he's back to knocking the cover off the ball, slashing .284/.463/.593 with seven homers and 16 RBI in the early going.
Thu May 30, 2013 3:50 pmCardinals purchased the contract of RHP Michael Wacha from Triple-A Memphis.
Fantasy Source Spin: Wacha will make his major league debut on Thursday night against the Royals and could be up for good if he pitches effectively. The 21-year-old right-hander was the 19th overall pick in the 2012 draft and has dominated at multiple levels of the Cardinals' minor league system. He has about 100 innings left in the tank this season.
Mon May 27, 2013 1:35 pmMariners purchased the contract of INF Nick Franklin from Triple-A Tacoma.
Fantasy Source Spin: Franklin was off to a torrid start this season with the Tacoma Rainiers, batting .324/.440/.472 with four home runs and seven stolen bases in 39 games. The talented 22-year-old can play shortstop and second base, and should carry immediate value in mixed fantasy leagues.
Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:55 amPhillies recalled RHP Vance Worley from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Fantasy Source Spin: Worley was sent down before the break because the Phillies didn't need a No. 5 starter for a while. He'll get the ball Friday against the Mets, taking a nifty 2.20 ERA in 10 games -- eight starts -- into the contest.
Tue Jun 7, 2011 11:06 pmMariners recalled 1B Mike Carp from Triple-A Tacoma.
Fantasy Source Spin: And why not? Carp entered Tuesday's action with a .350/.410/.664 batting line to go along with 19 homers and 1.074 OPS. 16 of his homers have come since May 1. Sure, those numbers were accomplished in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, but the Mariners can use the pop anywhere they can get it. Go ahead and pick him up in AL-only leagues.
Sun May 22, 2011 4:21 pmAsdrubal Cabrera paced the Indians in their 12-4 shellacking of the Reds on Sunday afternoon, going 5-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI.
Fantasy Source Spin: The five-hit game was the first by an Indians palyer since Jhonny Peralta went 5-for-5 against the Rays on August 6, 2008. Cabrera also became the first member of the Tribe to go 5-for-5 while driving in at least five runs since Victor Martinez did so on July 16, 2004. For the season, Cleveland's shortstop is now batting .302 with nine home runs and 32 RBI.
Fri May 20, 2011 2:39 pmPhillies recalled OF Domonic Brown from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Fantasy Source Spin: GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said on Thursday that Brown would not be taking an injured Shane Victorino's spot on the Phillies' active roster, but has apparently changed his mind. In between hand and thumb injuries, Brown was scorching the ball in Triple-A, batting .341 to go along with a .431 on-base percentage, two home runs and 10 RBI in just 51 plate appearances. With Raul Ibanez and Ben Francisco both continuing to struggle, Brown will be in for a lot of playing time, particularly in right field. He's worth an immediate flier in all formats.

Sat May 14, 2011 1:18 amClayton Kershaw overwhelmed the Diamondbacks on Friday, striking out 11 over seven scoreless innings to earn a win.
Fantasy Source Spin: Kershaw allowed three hits and walked two. The Dodgers 'pen almost coughed up a four-run lead after he left, only to hang on to win 4-3. Kershaw has won each of his last three starts to improve to 5-3 on the season. He has a 2.75 ERA, and he's tied for fourth in the NL with 64 strikeouts.
Mon May 9, 2011 12:42 pmMariners purchased the contract of OF Mike Wilson from Triple-A Tacoma.
Fantasy Source Spin: Wilson isn't really much of a prospect, but he was off to a nice start at Tacoma, batting .381/.429/.683 with four homers. The Mariners are hoping he'll provide some offense to a team desperately seeking it. He figures to get most of his playing time in left field, but he could also see time in the DH spot and in center field when Michael Saunders needs a day off.
Tue May 3, 2011 12:44 amAlfonso Soriano went 2-for-4 and hit his 11th homer Monday against the Dodgers.
Fantasy Source Spin: The homer was a solo shot off Clayton Kershaw. Seven of Soriano's 11 homers have come leading off innings, which is part of why he's been limited to 21 RBI.
Tue Mar 29, 2011 6:15 pmRangers optioned 1B Chris Davis to Triple-A Round Rock.
Fantasy Source Spin: Davis said last week that he would prefer a trade rather than begin the season in the minor leagues, but here we are. The 25-year-old has destroyed minor league pitching, so he really deserves another shot, but he won't have much chance for playing time with Mitch Moreland, Michael Young, and Mike Napoli occupying space on the big league level. We'll probably see him in the big leagues at some point this season, whether with Texas or elsewhere.
Tue Mar 22, 2011 5:49 pmWhite Sox optioned C Tyler Flowers, OF Alejandro De Aza and RHP Gregory Infante to Triple-A Charlotte; reassigned RHPs Brian Bruney, Jeff Gray, Josh Kinney and Shane Lindsay, OF Jordan Danks and INF Dallas McPherson to minor league camp.
Fantasy Source Spin: Flowers batted .476 (10-for-21) with two doubles, two homers and six RBI this spring, but he was a longshot to make the team due to the presence of A.J. Pierzynski and Ramon Castro. Hopefully he can rebound from a disappointing season at Triple-A Charlotte. The White Sox have 29 players left in camp and there aren't many difficult decisions left.

Tue Feb 19, 2013 2:50 pm
Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee indicated Tuesday that team will likely go with either Cole Hamels or Cliff Lee on opening day
Fantasy Source Spin: Halladay has made 10 straight opening day starts, but that streak could come to an end this year, as the club would prefer to split Hamels and Lee up in the rotation. "I think it's how we line up best," said Dubee. "Realistically, we could pitch anybody the first day as far as Doc, Cole and Cliff. On most staffs, they are No. 1 starters, so they all could pitch opening day. But part of what we're thinking is trying to split those two lefties. Last year we started with two lefties (after Halladay) and I'd just like to split them up."

Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:30 am
Wilson had no shame in signing a lucrative five-year deal with the Angels after coming up with Texas. His contract looked good early in the year, but Wilson's poor control returned and bit him in the second half with a 5.54 ERA in 16 starts. It was also a surprise that Wilson had more issues keeping the ball in the park after moving out of hitter-friendly Arlington, though homers were still not a major issue. The return of his BB/9 rate at 4.0 could be a real problem if it continues, however.
Fantasy Source Spin: His value has fallen slightly, and rightfully so since Wilson's poor control has returned. Last season may be the real deal if he doesn't correct those issues quickly.
Source: Fantasy Source
Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:29 am
Wilson made only two appearances before undergoing Tommy John surgery in mid-April, effectively ending his 2012 season. There were some warning signs during his 2011 campaign, including losses in velocity and control. The surgery will hopefully allow him to rebound fully, but the Giants found an alternative in Sergio Romo late last season.
Fantasy Source Spin: Wilson's reputation alone should allow him to get his role back at some point, though it remains to be seen how good his control will be after the injury.
Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:29 am
Williams opened 2012 as the Angels' fifth starter after re-emerging late in 2011, but his results were mixed. The former top prospect had a 4.83 ERA in 15 starts, though his plus command still showed and could get him another opportunity in the future.
Fantasy Source Spin: Good command still makes him a potential single-league fill-in if he gets starts again.
Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:28 am
Wilhelmsen's great story culminated with the closer role in Seattle, as he replaced the struggling Brandon League last season. Wilhelmsen signed with Seattle in 2009 after a four-year hiatus from baseball, and his mid-90s fastball has made him a dominant reliever for the club. His 9.9 K/9 rate and 3.00 K/BB ratio of 2012 is the stuff of pure closers, and Wilhelmsen pitched even better in save situations than normal with a 1.76 ERA.
Fantasy Source Spin: Some will think Wilhelmsen is unproven as a closer, but all the peripherals show he can be a fine second-tier option.
Mon Jun 23, 2014 8:44 am
Joe Smith allowed a home run to Brad Snyder in the ninth inning of Sunday's win over the Rangers.
Fantasy Source Spin: But he struck out two of the other three batters he faced to protect the Angels' late lead. It was a non-save situation. Smith is currently in a committee at closer with Ernesto Frieri, Mike Morin and maybe a few others.
Thu Jun 19, 2014 5:03 pm
Carlos Martinez will start Sunday against the Phillies.
Fantasy Source Spin: He'll take the place of Michael Wacha, who will have his turn skipped in the rotation in order to give him a little rest. Martinez allowed an unearned run on two hits over four innings against the Mets on Monday. He might not work deep into the game on Sunday either, but he could make for an appealing streaming option.
Source: Derrick Goold on Twitter
Thu Jun 19, 2014 5:00 pm
The Cardinals will skip Michael Wacha's next start.
Fantasy Source Spin: There's nothing wrong with Wacha, but the Cardinals want to give him a little bit of a breather. This is the perfect time to do it, as Adam Wainwright is slated to rejoin the rotation Saturday and Carlos Martinez can start in Wacha's place on Sunday.
Thu Jun 19, 2014 3:54 pm
Ernesto Frieri served up a walkoff grand slam to Nick Swisher on Thursday afternoon in Cleveland.
Fantasy Source Spin: Anaheim led 3-1 heading into the bottom of the 10th inning and Cam Bedrosian was brought in for the save. But manager Mike Scoiscia turned back to Frieri after Bedrosian loaded the bases on two walks and a double. That's when Swisher went deep to win it. The Angels' bullpen is a mess right now.
Tue Jun 17, 2014 3:32 pm
Red Sox recalled INF Garin Cecchini from Triple-A Pawtucket.
Fantasy Source Spin: This confirms a report from Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish. Cecchini, who had a one-day stint with the big club earlier this month, was batting .263/.344/.329 with two home runs and 24 RBI over 62 games in Triple-A this year. He figures to function in a utility role.

How to Become a Freelance Writer Tip#1: Learn How to Write
Writer's Resources...
Hone Your Writing Skills
Some people believe "you either got it, or you don't." In this case, you either know how to write, or you don't. Personally, I don't hold to this notion. I believe that anyone with the desire to write, (and the willingness to improve their skills), can become a freelance writer.
Granted, it's easier for some people to write an article and become a freelance writer. Person A may be able to create a masterpiece within one hour, which includes the time spent researching, writing, and editing. Meanwhile, it may take Person B three hours to finish a short piece. But with practice, I believe that both persons can reach, or at least come close to achieving the same level.
If you've never picked up a pen and paper and attempted to write, you're probably a little rusty. I don't recommend anyone apply for a writing job without the necessary skills. If you don't know the difference between "its" and "it's", habitually end a sentence with a preposition, or don't know how to write a simple grammatically correct sentence, you'll be greeted with a ton of rejection slips and an unread manuscript.
Pick up a copy of a English grammar book, practice writing exercises, learn how to research, and let others critique your work. The more you write, the better you'll become.

Tired of searching for "Paris" (France) on YouTube and mostly seeing video of Paris Hilton? A new geographic search feature (reported first by NewTeeVee) should take care of that. Video uploading users have been able to geotag videos on YouTube but not easily search for video by location.
By contrast, Google Earth allows searching for geographically relevant YouTube videos by enabling the YouTube layer. YouTube videos also show up in Google Maps.
YouTube on Google Earth:
The new location search on YouTube is a bit buried. If you search for a place, you'll see a map icon in the first position, where there would otherwise be a video thumbnail:
Clicking that opens a map, with videos related to that location:
You can further refine your search for something specific in that location: hotels in my example above or (below) videos showing people standing on line for the iPhone in New York:
Despite the fact that local search for YouTube videos has been available in Maps and Earth, it's a valuable addition to YouTube itself.

St. Stephen's teacher earns fellowship
Date: June 22, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
St. Stephen's Episcopal School social studies teacher Dominique Craft is the recipient of fully funded fellowship to the 2009 Summer Institute for Early Career Teachers by the Klingenstein Center for Independent School Leadership, Teachers College, Columbia University.
The East County resident was one of 75 beginning teachers to earn the award. The 2009 Summer Institute cohort includes teachers from all areas of the United States in addition to participants from Turkey, Lebanon and Canada.
Craft and the rest of the institute participants spent two weeks in Lawrenceville, N.J., this month for a variety of workshops, seminars and collaborative exercises guided by prominent education experts, Teachers College professors and master teachers. The program challenges participants to embrace the complexities of the classroom and to explore the art of teaching and the delicate balance of subject mastery, judgment, intuition and creativity.
The Klingenstein Center is dedicated to improving the quality of independent school education by developing and strengthening leadership among teachers and administrators who work in independent schools in the United States and throughout the world.

People with higher levels of brown fat, or brown adipose tissue, in their bodies have better blood sugar control, higher insulin sensitivity and a better metabolism for burning fat stores, according to new data.
People have two types of fat tissue in their bodies: the widely reviled white fat tissue and the less familiar brown fat tissue. One of the many ill health effects of excess white fat tissue is decreased insulin sensitivity, which is a major contributor to diabetes. On the other hand, brown fat has several healthy qualities, including protection against obesity and diabetes.

New Franklin & Marshall Keystone PA Primary Poll
by Obamafan, Wed Apr 16, 2008 at 05:02:32 AM EDT
I was waiting on this particular Poll all week long as I considering it as the most reliable Poll in Pennsylvania.
They also have a good Track Record.
Franklin & Marshall Keystone Poll done April 8-13 among 367 LV/MOE 5.1
PA Democratic Primary
Hillary Clinton 46 %
Barack Obama 40 %
Undecided 14 %
when leaners are included it's:
Hillary Clinton 49 %
Barack Obama 42 %
In March it was among Likely Voters:
Hillary Clinton 51 %
Barack Obama 35 %
Others 1 %
Undecided 13 %
Obama is up 5 and Clinton is down 5 compared to March.
So, who has the Mo?
The Keystone Poll was in the Field the same Dates like the Q-Poll and LA Times Poll.
I beginning to start seriously questioning SUSA.
And here is the Reason:
Since 2004 there haven't any Polling from SUSA in PA. SUSA did not poll the PA Governor & Senate Races in 2006.
Bank on it. Clinton DOES NOT win PA by double digits. GAME OVER
