Convenience, cost-cutting and quicker counting are demonstrated advantages of "vote centers," a system that will allow Hoosier voters to cast ballots outside their precincts in 2014 and future elections.
Vote centers are optional; a county's board of commissioners, county council, and election board must all approve the system.
Clerks from several central Indiana counties heard Secretary of State Connie Lawson at a regional vote center workshop Tuesday at the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds.
"It was very, very informative," Boone County Clerk Penny Bogan said.

Many of the nation's fire departments and rescue squads provide technical rescue services to their respective communities. One arena that is very common to many organizations is motor vehicle extrication. While newspapers and other media are constantly showing pictures of disentanglement actions, many do not realize the preparation and logistical work that goes into a successful extrication operation. We will look at some of these characteristics, discuss some of the more common extrication maneuvers, and then showcase some of the more ornate maneuvers for those times when we need to operate during extraordinary circumstances.
When we think extrication, we are really talking about disentanglement, the actual removal of the vehicle from around the victim (see Photo 1). Removal, or extrication of the victim, comes after the disentanglement work on the vehicle. That will vary greatly, depending on the severity of the impact, and the composition of both materials that have been involved in the accident.
So, what should the local service provider be bringing to the scene? First and foremost, trained, skilled personnel are the number one asset on any rescue scene, and extrication is not any different. Training will not only be focused on disentanglement skills; we will need people to perform stabilization, provide medical treatment to the victims, and control the threat of fires on these scenes. Additionally, depending on the vehicles involved, a response from the local Haz/Mat team may be in order. These skills will not become second nature without many hours of hands-on work with the tools and equipment associated with these techniques (see Photo 2). The extrication scene is a dynamic event; it is always changing, and has the potential to go bad quickly (see Photo 3). Therefore, I would be remiss not to emphasize the use of full personal protective equipment (PPE), including secondary eye protection above helmet shields, Body Substance Isolation (BSI) equipment, turnout gear, and crash gear for firefighters and EMTs, etc…. Any lack or disregard of the use of these basic protective ensemble components can lead to serious injury, and there is no permissible excuse for it.
Your department is dispatched to a reported vehicle accident with entrapments. This is the time to start your size-up, not at the accident scene. A lot of information can be gathered by the dispatch assignment. For example, the type of road (residential street, highway) can provide clues on the speed of impact you can expect. The location of the area may provide information about what hazards may be involved, such as type of vehicle, industrial equipment (forklifts and construction vehicles have accidents, too) and access to the scene issues (see Photo 4). One major point that should be considered in the size up is the "Golden Hour," which is the time related to the onset of impact until the patient is receiving definitive, medical care at an approved medical facility. The problem with this is that the Golden Hour clock had started running before the responders had been dispatched; one can only estimate the amount of time elapsed, based on time of alarm, reflex time to respond, and traffic problems impeding access to the scene. Since this is difficult to ascertain with any degree of certainty, it is wise to focus the on-scene efforts towards the "Platinum Ten," which is the optimum time frame when the responders arrive until the patient is disentangled and extricated from the vehicle. Keeping the total extrication time to less than ten minutes will help to keep operations closer to within the Golden Hour.

Uriah Hall and Chris Leben came into UFC 168 tonight (Sat., Dec. 28, 2013) with their backs against the wall in a "Loser Leaves Town" Middleweight match that headlined the "Prelims" under card on FOX Sports 1. Hall started the contest with a flying knee that floored "The Crippler" then finished the round with a blinding cross that had The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) alum asking his corner if he was knocked out. And with that, Leben was forced to quit on his stool, while Hall picked up his first-ever win inside the Octagon (see full UFC 168 play-by-play results here).

Biting Toddler
Q. My 3-year-old just bit another boy in his preschool. This is the third time! I'm afraid he is going to be kicked out of day care. What can I do to stop the biting; I've already tried to talk to him about it.
A. For children between the ages of 18 months and 2 and 1/2 years, biting -- although disconcerting and hurtful �� is typical. It's a negative developmental characteristic that young children exhibit. Thankfully, with persistent monitoring by parents and caregivers, most grow out it by age three.
Unfortunately, your child continues to bite, therefore both you and his preschool teacher need to develop a consistent plan to combat the biting. Before proceeding, ask yourself, "Why is he biting?"
Is he receiving lots of attention for biting? If so, find opportunities for him to receive attention in positive ways so he won't need to acquire attention for biting.
Is he socially immature? For some preschool�aged children group care overwhelms and frustrates them. If this situation is the case with your son, he may need a child care situation where there's a smaller group of children and, therefore, fewer social frustrations. He may simply need a little more time to mature socially. A break from a large group of children may help him gain social skills more easily acquired when playing with only one or two children at a time.
Is it a habit? Young children can easily slip into the habit of displaying certain hurtful behaviors. This may be the situation with your son. In order to break the habit he needs three forms of guidance: First, when he bites, he needs time in a quiet spot with no attention from child care providers or the other children. Generally speaking, when a biting incident occurs, one caregiver needs to attend to the bitten child while the other attends to the biter. Without looking the biter in the eye, (making eye contact unfortunately reinforces the hurtful behavior) the caregiver needs to say in a stern voice, "That's biting, it is not allowed" as she escorts the child to an isolated area. The child should receive nothing from biting, particularly attention. This mild and temporary form of shunning usually quickly ends a child repeating the hurtful behavior.
Second, a caregiver needs to shadow your son in order to step in and prevent a biting incident from occurring. A skillful caregiver can divert a biting incident by intervening when frustrations arise and guiding the child in a way that's positive.
Third, he needs coaching from caregivers at preschool and parents at home to acquire positive skills for how to behave in social situations. Caregivers and parents can demonstrate and help him practice using words which in time will replace the biting behavior he now exhibits.

The special election to replace former Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. will be held April 9.
Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation Sunday to approve the date.
Jackson resigned last month citing his health and acknowledging he's under federal investigation.
Quinn had 115-day window to set an election. But he wanted the Jackson contest to coincide with municipal elections already planned for April 9 so he had to seek lawmaker approval to change the timeline. Lawmakers approved legislation for the date change.
Quinn says the move saves taxpayer money.
The primary for the special election is Feb 26.
Jackson's vacancy means there's a rare opening in the Democratic-leaning Chicago area district that Jackson had held since 1995. A number of candidates have declared intentions to run including former Democratic Rep. Debbie Halvorson.

Awesome and so easy! I made this the other night and I have now made it three times since. It is very addictive! The recipe from the same show for sausages and scallops has been modified to meet my vegetarian diet and I simply use vegetarian sausages and skip the scallops. The perfect 10 minute dinner with huge flavor.

Piazza Carlo Alberto
Capital as well as cultural and business center of the Piedmont region, Turin is famous as headquarters of Fiat and Lancia, birthplace of Telecom Italia and Rai television and host of the 2006 Winter Olympics. Turin has a modern public transport infrastructure so it is easy to get to architectural sites and museums, most notably the Mole Antonelliana, which is the home of the National Cinema Museum. Home to Torino and Juventus, two historical italian football teams, the region is famous as the birth place of solid chocolate over 200 years ago. Gianduiotto is perhaps the most famous Turin chocolate currently in production.

I took the shaft over to a friend that has a lathe and we were able to turn it as long as a small cut was taken. It is still a little large but I did not have the bearing so we will finish it another day. The surface was nasty and it still did not clean up completely but it is plenty good enough for the sealed bearing.
I was concerned that the induction hardened surface was too hard to turn and that was why George recommended a tool post grinder. I don't think a machine shop around here would touch it for $40. That was a good deal.

Officials at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas say people have been safely evacuated from an Illinois-bound plane after reports of smoke in the interior.
Airport spokeswoman Christine Crews says Allegiant Airlines Flight 436 bound for Peoria was on the taxiway when the problem was detected about 3 p.m. Monday.
Officials say the airport's firefighters responded, and 144 passengers and six crew members were evacuated using slides.
No injuries were reported. Crews says the situation was clear by about 3:45 p.m.
Allegiant spokesman Brian Davis says passengers were shuttled to the terminal to wait for an alternate flight.

LITTLETON, CO. (WKOW) -- Authorities have released the 911 tapes from last week's Arapahoe High School shooting in Colorado.
In it you can hear a 911 dispatcher informing authorities about an injured student. CALLER: "Be advised at this time, we do have one student down, and they have found shotgun shells."
The student gunned down was 17-year-old Claire Davis. According to her family she is still in the hospital in a coma, but in stable condition.
Davis' classmates, friends, and even strangers gathered together this weekend to honor her and pray for her recovery in a candle light vigil.
Support has been flooding in online as well. On Twitter a campaign to get "One Direction" Davis' favorite band to come visit with Hash tag "Get1DtoClaire".

Lee County is looking to make changes on Del Prado Boulevard at NE 2nd Terrace and NE 3rd Terrace, but the changes don't include a traffic light – even though a business is willing to pay for it.
Speeding cars are common on Del Prado Boulevard in Cape Coral.
"The traffic is horrible there," said Robin Pabst.
Robin Pabst knows how bad the traffic is. Her nephew is Ryan Santos, the 13-year-old boy who got hit by a car and died at Del Prado and Northeast 3rd Terrace.
Ryan was riding his bike to a park just a block from the intersection.
"It will be two years in April and something needs to be done before another child gets killed," said Pabst.
After two years, she's finally getting some big help in her fight for a traffic light at the intersection where Ryan died.
Race Trac built a gas station there and now the company wants a traffic light as well. They're even willing to pay for it.
"Race Trac is really trying to be a good neighbor here and we're taking care of this public works problem at our expense," said Sherri Scott of Race Trac.
Lee County transportation officials agree the intersection needs changes, but they don't think it needs a traffic signal.
"Traffic signals aren't safety features on roadways. In fact, ill placed traffic signals can actually be detrimental to safety," said Deputy Transportation Director Randy Cerchie.
Cerchie says the intersection didn't meet any requirements for a traffic signal.
Instead Lee County is moving forward with plans to install a median and prohibit left turns onto Del Prado.
Ultimately Lee County has the final decision what happens to the intersection.

I think it's safe to say that the county I live in is quite a bit older than the county you live in. I live in Mecklenburg County, N.C., which, throughout 2013, is celebrating its 250th anniversary of officially existing.
I just hollered at my No. 4 son (age 15) to do the math on how long ago 250 years was, and he just hollered back that, in a delightful coincidence, it was the last year that I actually made a humorous observation in my weekly column.
A 250th anniversary is known as a "sestercentennial." Or a "Quarter-millennial." Or a "Semiquincentennial." Or a "Bicenquinquagenary." I like the last one best, mainly because it will drive (The Republican's ) spell-check absolutely insane.
The first act of Mecklenburg County government is supposed to have taken place Feb. 26, 1763. A court was held in what the official bicenquinquagenary website calls a "ramshackle cabin," owned by a guy named Thomas Spratt. The first official act of the county government was a filibuster by Thomas against his wife's sequestration of the family's stock of "lean," a big problem for Spratt, as everyone who lived in the county knew that he could eat no fat.
Incidentally, the name "Mecklenburg" came from the birthplace of the reigning Queen of England at the time, Charlotte, wife of King George III. Charlotte was from Mecklenburg-Strelitz, a small north German duchy. Charlotte was queen for a total of 57 years and 70 days, a period of time also known as a "bicharlottequinquagenary."
There's a statue of Queen Charlotte prominently located at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, and many more statues can be visited on the Mecklenburg County "Trail of History." Close your eyes and let me take you on a "verbal" tour of the stirring depictions of prominent Mecklenburgians.
On second thought, I guess you'll have to keep your eyes open after all, or you won't be able to, you know, read the verbal tour.
We start with "Spirit of Mecklenburg," a statue of a small fixed-wing airplane flown from Charlotte to Philadelphia by a guy named James Jack in the spring of 1775.
Kidding! About the airplane part anyway. The James Jack and the journey to Philly and the 1775 bits are all true.
The story goes that, May 20, 1775, having learned about the Battle of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts, a band of Mecklenburg County patriots wrote up the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, also known as the MecDec. Really.
If all this is true, then Mecklenburg County was the very first locale in all the thirteen British Colonies to declare independence.
As for the statue, it shows James Jack, a local tavern owner now known to history as Captain Jack, galloping along on a horse on his journey to Philadelphia to deliver the MecDec to the Continental Congress. He did this a few weeks after the MecDec was signed, having spent every night in-between in his tavern stoking up on plenty of, ummm, "no-afraid," let's call it, to gird himself for the perilous trip.
This leads us to the statue of Thomas Polk, a guy so interwoven into the early days of Mecklenburg County and the war for independence, that he's practically the Forrest Gump of early American history.
He was one of the earliest settlers in Mecklenburg Count, married to the former Susannah Spratt. He was in the Colonial Assembly, he was a militia leader, and he was the one who called the May 20, 1775 meeting that produced the MecDec.
His biography on the Mecklenburg bicenquinquagenary website also says that, in 1777, as the British were converging on Philadelphia, he led the detachment that moved important artifacts and material out of the city to keep them from falling into the Redcoats' hands – and among the things he helped spirit away was the Liberty Bell. Although if you imagine that hefty bell literally falling into the Redcoats' hands, you could envision several Redcoats no longer having hands, right?
To top it all off, when George Washington – as in "Father of Our Country" and all that – visited Charlotte in 1791, he dined at the home of Thomas Polk. Unfortunately, Polk's wife Susannah invited some of her Spratt relatives to the party, including Thomas, who got into the now locally-famous "Spratt spat" – a tiff with George Washington over who would get the last piece of lean.

The NBLC Is Holding Its First Draft Combine
As you all should know, the NBL Canada is starting up its first season of roundball this fall and today is the day that roster hopefuls are looking to make an impression. The free agent Draft camp will be at Seneca College in Toronto both Saturday and Sunday with the Draft to be held Sunday evening at the Rogers Center. Though the talent will likely not best any team of NBA 12th men just yet, there should be a lot of guys hungry for a shot at a pro contract. Looking over the list of pontential Draftees, I didn't see many easily recognizable American names but I did see a lot of Canadian ones that I haven't heard of in a while, coupled with me thinking that this will be a league full small, quick dudes, has me really eager to get this seaosn started right now. Today is gonna be a big day for the league and basketball in Canada in general. Remember that you can watch the Draft live Sunday beginning at 7pm streaming from the league site, www.nblcanada.ca. ** We would also want to give a special shout and best of luck to one of our loyal readers DB (we won't give out the government name, man) who is at the camp this weekend. We hope you cross up dudes and stick your jumpers. **

When it comes to overall job prospects for IT professionals, 2014 will look a lot like this year, with 32 percent of companies expecting to increase head count in their IT shops, compared with 33 percent in 2013, according to Computerworld's annual Forecast survey.
But while demand will remain steady overall, there have been a few changes in the skill sets most desired by hiring managers. Unemployment "is probably close to zero for people with high-demand skill sets," says Michael Kirven, founder and CEO of Mondo, a technology resource provider. Employers in search of top skills, he says, need to be prepared to move fast. "If you want them, you can be 100 percent sure there are at least two other firms that want them, as well," he says.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Hotshot young techies, take heed of these 10 hard-earned lessons of a lifetime in IT. | Get a digest of the day's top tech stories in the InfoWorld Daily newsletter. ]
Here's a look at the IT skills that will be in demand next year, according to companies with plans to hire IT professionals in 2014.
1. Programming/application development
- 49 percent of respondents said that they plan to hire for this skill in the next 12 months.
- Last year's ranking: No. 1
As it did in the 2013 Forecast survey, programming/application development tops the list of hot skills, although just under half of the 221 respondents said they will hire in this area, compared with 60 percent last year. Scot Melland, CEO of Dice Holdings, parent of IT jobs website Dice.com, concurs that software developers are the most sought-after technology workers and notes that they enjoy one of the lowest unemployment rates around -- just 1.8 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It's no wonder, then, that respondents to the Computerworld 2014 Forecast survey named developer and programmer job openings as the most difficult to fill. The hottest specialties within that category, Melland says, are mobile development expertise and experience building secure applications.
Carbonite, an online backup service provider, expects to find a tight market for software developers and engineers as it shifts its business model to focus on the needs of small businesses, says Randy Bogue, vice president of talent at the Boston-based company. "While there are a lot of experienced software developers in the Boston area, there are just as many technology companies looking to hire them," he says. "We find this while looking for front-end developers, user experience engineers, mobile developers and pretty much any other software development position."
Lucille Mayer, CIO at BNY Mellon, also expects to have difficulty finding developers. The financial services company has several hundred openings, mainly in New York City and Pittsburgh, and about 40 percent of those are in development. Another 30 percent are in infrastructure, 20 percent are for business analysis/project management positions, and 10 percent are in management.
"Demand is high for skilled developers with three to five years' experience and a service delivery orientation," says Mayer, who is particularly interested in people with object-oriented development experience. Also important is finding people from diverse backgrounds, with diverse ideas and perspectives, she says.

A typical session lasted between one and two weeks as the children learned about the cherished art of shape note singing, also known as Sacred Harp and fasola.
Today's generations are largely unfamiliar with the practice, which teaches singing through sight reading using a four-shape system.
"People are so busy with Little League, dance and TV that you can't get their attention for five days in a row," said David Ivey, director of Camp Fasola.
Ten years ago, Ivey and other Alabamians who love Sacred Harp singing decided that the best way to reach today's youth was in a camp setting.
Camp Lee in Anniston began hosting the modern-day singing school in 2003.
When organizers of Camp Fasola realized that many adults wanted to attend as well, they opened up the program to all ages.
Camp Fasola now holds a session for adults each June at Camp McDowell in Nauvoo and another for youth in July at Camp Lee.
People from 19 states, as well as Ontario and England, were in the area last week for Camp Fasola, which was scheduled to coincide with the National Sacred Harp Singing Convention in Birmingham.
One of the special guests at camp this year was Frances Robb, whose Winston County ancestors helped write the edition of "The Sacred Harp" songbook that is still in use today.
"My great-uncle Paine (Denson) said there was nothing like standing in the middle of the square and hearing those voices coming at you," Robb said.
Shape note singing, which is performed a cappella with singers arranged in four sections that form a square, has its roots in 18th century England and arrived in America around the time of the Revolution.
The first shape note songbook, "The Easy Instructor," was printed in 1801. Dozens of similar publications followed as instructors traveled from town to town leading singing schools and selling their books.
Although most of the tunes were written by New Englanders, the music found its true home in the South.
"It has always been a music that was suited for rural folks," Ivey said. "Folks in the city could get pianos and organs and make modern types of harmony, whereas country people didn't have those instruments and were more likely to hold on to an older style of singing just like they did with religion."
By 1900, shape note singing had been forgotten in most parts of the nation. However, in the South, hundreds of people turned out for annual singings at the courthouse square.
The turn of the 20th century also saw several revisions of the popular songbook "The Sacred Harp," which was first published in 1844.
Camp Fasola uses an edition released during the Depression by the Denson family of Winston County.
Brothers Seaborn and Thomas Denson were so instrumental in spreading Sacred Harp from Georgia to Texas that their efforts are commemorated in a monument on the courthouse lawn in Double Springs.
Both men died before the version of "The Sacred Harp" that still bears their family name was released in 1936.
Robb, Thomas Denson's great-granddaughter, said she was not raised to carry on the Sacred Harp tradition.
"My grandparents decided when they moved off the farm to the big city of Cullman that it was the kind of music that the kids should make their own minds up about," Robb said. "They continued to go to singings and the kids went with them sometimes, but they were never the kind of leaders that the Densons had been."
Robb, a historian and lecturer associated with the Alabama Humanities Foundation, wrote an article several years ago on the Denson brothers for the online Encyclopedia of Alabama.
She was surprised when the article generated responses from as far away as Europe.
Robb attributes the Densons' international fame to a series of Sacred Harp recordings captured in August 1942 in Birmingham. The songs are part of the Library of Congress' folk music collection and have been released in several different formats.
The Great Depression, although devastating for American families, was the catalyst that led to preserving this musical heritage.
"People were looking for something they could depend on and look back on as a positive in a really chaotic world. Discovering the music that was in American communities was a big part of that," Robb said.
Ivey, a fifth generation Sacred Harp singer, noticed a resurgence of interest in America's first church music in the 1980s.
He said the timeless tunes are now being taught in cities and small towns across the country.
This fall, Camp Fasola will be expanding to Europe for the first time with a retreat in Poland.
Ivey pointed out that many of the melodies used in Sacred Harp were once secular tunes that immigrants brought to the United States. English hymn writers such as Isaac Watts and John Wesley are responsible for the bulk of the lyrics.
"Now the music is coming full circle," Ivey said.

Newton Family (Club Member) stayed Aug 2014 This review is for Barnard Castle This is a lovely site and well worth a visit. The staff are very friendly and will help with any problems if they can. We found there was plenty of pitches available for a late booking. Easy access to Barnard Castle by bus, car (10 mins.) and walking (30 to 45 mins.) depending on your mobility, through fields and woodland, there is a map available at 20p from reception. Good access, by car or bus, to Upper Teesdale, High Force and Cauldron Snout. Good drainage when it rains heavily like we experienced. Susceptible to high winds blowing across the sight, although some of the pitches are well protected behind high hedges. So be prepared to tie down awnings securely. Lots of wildlife e.g. Rabbits, Field Voles and birds. Road access to the site is via a steep, single track road with passing places. All in all a very relaxing site. Will definitely visit again.

Bayonetta 2 (Wii-U) Wii U
Product Details
Bayonetta Makes Her Return
In this climactic sequel to the critically acclaimed BAYONETTA action game, players will be on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Brimming with epic, gorgeous cut scenes and battles that are more exhilarating than ever, this game never lets up on the action. Fight on top of a jet as it soars through a downtown city. Duke it out against a giant angel, who bears a whip for an arm, on top of a speeding train. And take to the skies in a fight against a demonic monster while ascending to the top of a skyscraper.
- Armed with new weapons and abilities, Bayonetta has her enemies baffled by her new moves and torture attacks. In exchange for magic points, she can unleash a new ability called Umbra Climax to summon demonic monsters and deliver mighty attacks repeatedly.
- Choose between Normal and Touch play styles. The Normal Mode represents the technical control scheme unique to BAYONETTA, an acclaimed control scheme that fans of the previous game love and all action game fans will enjoy. The Touch Mode, on the other hand, offers a more convenient play style for those unfamiliar with action games or simply looking for a new spin on action. Players can use the Wii U GamePad controller's touch screen controls to easily manipulate Bayonetta as she moves, attacks and evades enemies.
- Bayonetta's longtime friend and fellow Umbra Witch, Jeanne, appears in the game (as a non-playable character) to assist Bayonetta in performing combination attacks and in doling out intense punishment against enemies.
- Take the action off the big screen and enjoy off-TV play using the Wii U GamePad controller.

Owner Arte Moreno and GM Jerry Dipoto must be saying the same thing to themselves, "If it wasn't for bad luck, then I'd have none." Being a huge baseball fan as well as a hockey fan, I found myself defending Moreno and Dipoto to hockey fans who aimless place blame solely on pitching. I came to a conclusion of just some seriously bad luck.
About two years ago was when Dipoto joined the front office to mend he-who-shall-not-be-named's direction of the franchise. I recall on one winter season how the front office whiffed on OF Carl Crawford and 3B Adrian Beltre to only trade for Vernon Wells as an oh-my-goodness-we-need-to-do-something! reaction. (Think of Friends' Chandler Bing's voice in saying that.) Only to have one of the traded players in the Wells trade, Napoli, to be traded from the Blue Jays to divisional rival Rangers. There are several expletives about the whole scenario.
Two winters ago, the Angels slapped us fans with the best pitching and hitting free agents in all of baseball with signing Wilson and Pujols. Those moves induced a mega television deal for Arte. And for us fans, a huge promise of World Series fantasies. On the cover of Sports Illustrated' Baseball Preview was Albert Pujols with a headline of "Power Shift – A new road to the world series". They predicted it would be the Angels over the Giants.
With so much hope and hype, the season started abysmally yet again. The bullpen was blowing saves, again. Late April 2012, Mike Trout made his introduction into the season; that was made possible by releasing the ever-aging Bobby Abreu. Shortly thereafter, top prospects Amarista and Roach were sent to San Diego for relief pitcher Ernesto Frieri. Then the Angels caught fire. Frieri had a 0.00 ERA going into the All-Star break. We also had four representatives to partake in the All-Star festivities in hitting machines Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo as well as pitchers Weaver and FA acquisition of CJ Wilson.
Yet, we were still playing catch up. So the front office traded for ace pitcher Zack Greinke. Yes, we traded away some good prospects, but even Segura was buried by the talent we have at the MLB level with Aybar and Kendrick. And we still came up short. Even Mike Trout's super once in a life time rookie outing could not bring him the AL MVP award.
This past winter the Angels signed slugger Josh Hamilton. Someone actually wanted to trade for Vernon Wells and pay the Angels to do it! They also cut loose starting pitchers Haren and Santana, thus, saving boat loads of money in the process. Then Dipoto acquired five pitchers, three starting and two relief pitchers. The three starting pitchers (Vargas, Hanson, and Blanton) would push Williams and Richards to the bullpen or send Richards to AAA. Relief pitcher Burnett looked like a good signing to work with Downs in the latter innings. And to make sure Frieri had some competition, closer Ryan "Mad Dog" Madson was signed in hopes to have him pitching by All-Star break in 2013. With having a plethora of relief pitchers, that means Maronde does not have to be rushed to the MLB's.
2013 season started like it was 2012. Actually, the slow beginnings have been consistent. 2011 the Angels start out 21-24; 2010 they were 14-18; 2009 was 24-24. The Angels could not hit for a long while. But a rash of injuries plagued the pitching department. Weaver, Vargas, and Hanson were gone for one reason or another. That meant Williams and Richards were promoted into starting. That so called bullpen depth was depleted. Add to that Burnett being oft injured. And finally, Madson still has not recovered. The Angels have recently lost three consecutive games by walk off homeruns by the opposition, the Texas Rangers. As for All-Stars, only Mike Trout represented the team.
I knew the gamble was to rely on hitting than pitching for the 2013 season. But the pitching staff got dealt a terrible blow. CJ Wilson has started 22 games. The next two highest are Blanton with 20 and Williams with 15. That means Weaver, Vargas, and Hanson have less starts than Williams as of August 1, 2013. Weaver is 5 – 5 , Vargas is 6 – 4, and Hanson's 4 – 2 are records that even I did not expect to witness, and yet Vargas and Hanson have been good acquisitions. With Williams and Richards starting a total of 20 games, that depletes a bullpen that already is missing both Burnett and Madson. That is four bullpen quantities not available, actually three because Madson was slated for All-Star break debut. There is virtually no respite for Frieri. (I read an article where a trend was noticed on Frieri such that if he pitches on back to back days he's simple not as effective as having rest in between appearances.)
The team has been sellers for the past week as LH relief pitcher Downs and 3B Callaspo were jettisoned. But this team does not have to be blown up. And I believe that's what Dipoto and Arte are thinking. The team just needs a little tinkering and not have this much bad luck. For the past two years, the Angels have been doing the right moves on paper. It just is not coming together for some reason. And the only consistent factor happens to be coaching.
Being an Anaheim Ducks hockey fan, I know about coaches who have a pattern for slow starts and only kept their jobs because they won a championship years ago. That was the only reason why the Ducks' organization held onto that coach for so long despite the pattern. I'm thinking it's a similar pattern here for the Angels, but this year may be different. The team got hit with numerous injuries they could not overcome on the pitching staff. Also, who would have ever expected to see an outfield of Schuck, Trout, and Cowgill… and Pujols not at first this season? I can't make this up, thus the cliché of "truth is stranger than fiction".
I want to put blame somewhere. Yet at a macro level, all the winter moves made sense. Acquiring three of the best free agents in two winters is beyond making sense. Acquiring Greinke for the playoff push made great sense. Arte and Dipoto are trying and giving the Angel fans hope for the past two seasons and it's inexplicably not working out as planned. I guess I will chalk it up to a series of unfortunate events and stand by both Arte and Dipoto. Just keep on tinkering and hopefully next season they find the right combination.

Students live for six weeks with a Senegalese family in Dakar and also have two shorter homestays (approximately 3–4 days each) in rural areas of the country. During the homestays, students are typically placed in clusters — for instance, two or three students in the same neighborhood or in the same village hamlet.
Experience Senegalese daily life and special cultural events while living in Dakar.
Students typically share numerous activities with their host families, including going to the local market, tailor, neighborhood boutiques, or beach. They may also attend sporting events (soccer or wrestling matches) or concerts with their host parents or siblings. Students may also be invited to naming ceremonies, marriages, and Muslim holiday celebrations such as Tabaski and Korité. Some students have attended religious seminars/gatherings with members of their host family.
In living with host families, students experience the realities of Senegalese daily life and learn about family dynamics, including family structure, gender roles, eating habits, household chores, waste disposal systems, notions of space and concepts of belonging, education of children, and celebrations and other rituals. The homestays also provide an excellent opportunity for students to immerse themselves in French and Wolof, the primary languages of Senegal.
Most host families are considered middle-class by Senegalese standards and represent different professions, including nurses, merchants/business owners, retired army officers, teachers, and tailors. Some host families may be walking distance to the SIT program center in Dakar, while others may be 20–30 minutes away by bus. Most, but not all, host families have children. If there are no children in the host family, there are usually children in neighboring families. Students often visit each other's host families.
Rural stays
Village stays include the Wolof eco-village of Mouit on the Senegalese coast near Saint Louis. Mouit is part of the Langue de Barbarie Bird Park, and some students may be placed with eco-guard volunteers for their homestay. During the stay in Mouit, students take a boat ride along the mouth of the river Senegal where various bird species come to nest. Students may also become involved in community activities during the rural stay.
In the second rural homestay students typically live in different villages outside the town of Kédougou in southeast Senegal.
The homestays are an essential part of the program, providing students with a unique opportunity to experience Senegalese culture and improve language skills through daily interaction with host family members.
Other accommodations during the program may include guest houses, educational institutions, or small hotels.
