New Hanover County Schools Announces 2012-2013
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 19 November 2013 23:35
- Written by Super User
New Hanover County Schools (NHCS) announces the state release of the 2012-2013 end-of-grade and end-of-course test results. These new Ready assessment results also include the complete accountability model measures that are part of the Common Core standards implemented in the 2012-2013 school year.
"As in previous times when the tests have been renormed, we have experienced an initial dip in our results. It is important to understand that the new assessments have more difficult standards that the students were measured against. Our results indicate student growth, and in the future, test scores will show an upward trend," said Dr. Markley, regarding the drop in test scores.
The standards and new assessments were implemented for the first time in North Carolina in the 2012-2013 school year. It is important to note that students continued to grow academically in 2012-2013, even though the tougher achievement standards will show fewer students meeting the proficiency standard. These new scores simply mean that students are expected to demonstrate a higher level of learning than ever before.
"New Hanover County Schools is committed to a rigorous and comprehensive plan to improve educational outcomes for all students, close achievement gaps, increase equity, and improve the quality of instruction, so that students are prepared for success in postsecondary education and the workforce," said Dr. Markley.
Schools will distribute individual student results to parents in mid-November.

Why Study History?
Why study history? The answer is because we virtually must, to gain access to the laboratory of human experience. When we study it reasonably well, and so acquire some usable habits of mind, as well as some basic data about the forces that affect our own lives, we emerge with relevant skills and an enhanced capacity for informed citizenship, critical thinking, and simple awareness. The uses of history are varied. Studying history can help us develop some literally "salable" skills, but its study must not be pinned down to the narrowest utilitarianism. Some history-that confined to personal recollections about changes and continuities in the immediate environment-is essential to function beyond childhood. Some history depends on personal taste, where one finds beauty, the joy of discovery, or intellectual challenge. Between the inescapable minimum and the pleasure of deep commitment comes the history that, through cumulative skill in interpreting the unfolding human record, provides a real grasp of how the world works. - Peter Stearns

Member Testimonial
I grew up in a village of 500 people in Delaware in the 1950s, and attended a segregated elementary school. I was curious about the social dynamics of this small place-how various social distinctions came to be and what they meant for the people who lived there. Eventually I realized that the best way to answer those questions was to study American history.

S&P Futures Surge Over 2000, At Record High, On Collapsing Japanese, European Economic Data, Ukraine EscalationsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/29/2014 - 07:07
Following Wednesday's laughable tape painting close where an algo, supposedly that of Citadel under the usual instructions of the NY Fed, ramped futures just over 2,000 to preserve faith in central planning, yesterday everyone was expecting a comparable rigged move... and got it, only this time milliseconds after the close, when futures moved from solidly in the red, to a fresh record high in seconds on no news - although some speculate that Obama not announcing Syrian air strikes yesterday was somehow the bullish catalyst - and purely on another bout of algo buying whose only purpose was to preserve the overnight momentum. Sure enough, this morning we find that even as bond yields around the world continue to probe 2014 lows, and with the Ruble sinking to fresh record lows as the Ukraine situation has deteriorated to unprecedented lows, so US equity futures have once, driven by the now generic USDJPY spike just after the European open, again soared overnight, well above 2000 and are now at all time highs, driven likely by the ongoing deflationary collapse in Europe where August inflation printed 0.3%, the lowest since 2009 while the unemployment remained close to record high, while the Japanese economic abemination is now fully featured for every Keynesian professor to see, with the latest Japanese data basically continuing the pattern of sheer horror as we reported yesterday.

"A Man Of Many Perversions" – Federal Cybersecurity Head Convicted Of Child Porn ChargesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/28/2014 - 22:38
This is why centralized power is so dangerous. It doesn't matter whether the power is political or corporate, overly centralized power in all forms must be resisted whenever it appears. The worst of all worlds is when centralized political and corporate power unite in an unholy alliance, which is what has happened to America in recent decades. When this occurs, the combined forces of oligarchy simply begin to rapaciously feast on the citizenry with zero accountability. This is a fair description of the United States in 2014... The primary problem with centralized power is that sociopaths (for obvious reasons) gravitate toward, and greatly covet, positions of power.

Fissure Eruption Begins In Iceland As Bardarbunga Magma Breaches The SurfaceSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/28/2014 - 22:05
As Icenews reports, a fissure eruption has started in the Holuhraun lavafield north of Dyngjujökull. Newly formed crevasses were spotted in surveillance flyovers by scientists yesterday and at that time geophysicist Magnús Tumi Guðmundsson estimated that the magma intrusion which had been monitored for the previous week was moving only 2 kilometres under the surface. The magma has now breached the surface and the volcanic eruption has been confirmed by scientists in the field. The low frequency tremors suggests the eruption is located outside the glacier. The blaze can be observed in Mila's webcameras, two of which are trained on Vatnajökull glacier's Bárðarbunga area.

NATO Releases Satellite Imagery "Proof" That Russia Has Invaded UkraineSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/28/2014 - 22:02
NATO released new satellite images on Thursday, 28 August 2014, that show Russian combat forces engaged in military operations inside the sovereign territory of Ukraine. The images, captured in late August, depict Russian self-propelled artillery units moving in a convoy through the Ukrainian countryside and then preparing for action by establishing firing positions in the area of Krasnodon, Ukraine. Russia's response - "reports on Russian troops in Ukraine are false."

Obama: "We Don't Have A Strategy Yet"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/28/2014 - 21:45
UPDATE: Damage Control Spin begins... Josh Earnest: "In his remarks today, POTUS was explicit - as he has been in the past - about the comprehensive strategy we'll use to confront ISIL threat."
President Obama 'knows' how to handle Putin's 'continuation' (not 'invasion') - more sanctions (and costs for Europe) - but when it comes to beating the most "barbaric" terrorists known as ISIS, ISIL, or The Islamic State; he had this to offer... "I don't want to put the cart before the horse. We don't have a strategy yet." Rest assured Americans - who have been told that ISIS could be crossing the borders every day and a constant threat, President Obama is 'working on it'. Perhaps most crucially, while we 'joke' that the administration has no strategy, it is noteworthy that Obama stated it was "not US policy to defeat ISIS, only reverse gains."

Shortly after Obama admitted to the world he has no strategy how to deal with ISIS, about two weeks after the "humanitarian" bombing of Iraq started, he rushed into a meeting of his National Security Council. Two and a half hours later, the meeting has finished and we hope the president finally does have a strategy, one that isn't determined solely by Qatari natural gas pipeline interests.

Abegeddon: Household Spending Re-Collapses As Japanese Unemployment Jumps To 9-Month HighSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/28/2014 - 20:10
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse... In a veritable deluge of data from Japan tonight, there is - simply put - no silver lining. First, Japan's jobless rate unexpectedly jumped to 3.8% - its highest since Nov 2013 (despite the highest job-to-applicant ratio in 22 years). Then, household spending re-collapsed 5.9% for the 4th month in a row (showingh no sign of post-tax-hike-recovery). Industrial Production was up next and dramatically missed expectations with a mere 0.2% rebound after last month's plunge (-0.9% YoY - worst in 13 months), quickly followed by a 0.5% drop in Japanes retail trade MoM (missing hope for a 0.3% gain). That's good news, right? Means moar QQE, right? Wrong! Japanese CPI came hot at 3.4% YoY with energy costs and electronic goods 'hyperinflating' at 8.8% and 9.1% respectively. As Goldman's chief Japan economist warns, "the BOJ doesn't have another bazooka," adding that "The window for reform may already have been half closed." We're gonna need another arrow, Abe!

German Finance Minister Tells EU Leaders: Free Money Party's OverSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/28/2014 - 19:41
Has Germany had enough? Hot on the heels of Mario Draghi's 'demands' that EU leaders undertake "structural reforms" to boost competitiveness and overcome the legacy of Europe's debt crisis, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble unleashed perhaps the most worrisome statement tonight for all the free-money-party-goers - the music is about to stop. In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Schaeuble blasted "Europe needs to find ways to foster growth." In a clear shot across the bow of his 'core' cohort, Schaeuble said he "understood" Hollande's demands but shot back that "monetary policy can only buy time," adding that "the ECB has reached the limit in helping the Euro Area."

Why Americans Are So Sensitive To Even The Smallest Increase In PricesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/28/2014 - 19:17
In the last year, even the 'smartest men in the room' PhDs with advanced degrees have seen their wages shrink, according to a new study by the Economic Policy Institute. As The WSJ notes, inflation has been low by most measures in recent years, but wage growth for the majority of workers has been even lower. That means even small amounts of inflation have been painful for vast swaths of the workforce. In recent years, one thing is clear: Neither monetary policy nor labor market policies nor fiscal policies have been able to boost earnings for most Americans. Only workers in the 80th percentile and up have seen their wage gains outpace inflation, though not by much.

Summarizing The West's Russia-Ukraine PropagandaSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/28/2014 - 18:41
With regard to the goings-on in Ukraine, quite a few European and American voices piping in, saying that, yes, Washington and Kiev are fabricating an entirely fictional version of events for propaganda purposes, but then so are the Russians. They appear to assume that if their corporate media is infested with mendacious, incompetent buffoons who are only too happy to repeat the party line, then the Russians must be same or worse. The reality is quite different.

BBC America offers another sci-fi show from the great Glen Morgan that's not-so-great.
"Older Children" is a film about a group of twentysomethings from the Chicago suburbs, now living in the city and stuck on pause. They've mostly known each other for years. They're single, but some are getting married. One just lost her job at the Museum of Contemporary Art, so her parents paid for a psychiatrist's visit.
We all know people like this. They go to movies like this. They're smart, presentable, articulate. They drink socially, they don't do drugs. They seem to have grown up at a level of affluence their own lives show no sign of matching.
It's an ensemble piece. If there is a lead, that would be Andy (Melissa Engle), the one who lost her museum job. She's subletting her one-bedroom apartment and moving in with friends to save some money. She rents to a guy who has a job in the financial industry. Right away she's … intrigued.
He's going to buy, but first is renting to sample neighborhoods. He rattles off Bucktown, Lincoln Park and so forth. Now he's in Old Town. Likes the short walk to the lakeshore, the park, the Old Town Ale House. During the film, we glimpse some of these neighborhoods, but Chicago is used more as a backdrop than a place.
In a way, the movie is about people who haven't grown up. None of them has reproduced. "Older Children" was helped by Kickstarter, and online I found a comment by one of its backers, who signs himself Christopher Charles Horatio Xavier King III, Esq. He writes: "It blows my mind whenever I think that, when my dad was my age, he had a 6-year-old kid." Not only that, but a kid named Christopher Charles Horatio Xavier King III.
The movie is perfectly watchable, professionally filmed and acted, and not particularly compelling. That's not really a criticism. It might feel strained to impose a plot upon these lives. The whole point is that they lack a plot; they don't even feel like protagonists.
At 65 minutes, "Older Children" is short, but feels about right. I imagine it's a calling card for Duncan Riddell, the writer-director, and it proves he has the chops to make a commercial film. What he needs is a screenplay. I was reminded of the works of Whit Stillman, but they have the screenplay. What a difference a story makes.

An alleged tussle between a Canton father and son on Sunday afternoon left one man in the hospital and one man in jail.
The Canton Police Department said in a release that Anthony Johnson, Sr., 53, has been arrested for aggravated battery in the stabbing of his 25-year-old son, Anthony Johnson, Jr.
The younger Johnson was transported to Northside Hospital-Cherokee by his father after being stabbed at the home of Mary Williams, who is the mother of the elder Johnson.
After he delivered his son to the hospital, the elder Johnson left the scene. Canton Police were summoned to the hospital at 3:03 p.m. and began looking for Johnson, Sr.
Officers from the Holly Springs Police Department located Johnson, Sr. at the Pine Crest Motor Lodge, and he was brought back to Canton for questioning. He was subsequently arrested and charged for the stabbing of his son.
Johnson, Jr.'s, injuries were so severe that he had to be airlifted to Atlanta Medical Center, where he is currently in Intensive Care.
It is currently unknown what caused the elder Johnson to stab his son.

My fourth Vertical Epic series beer I have had the chance to try and again another winner.Poured into a large tulip glass a deep rich golden with a hint of burnt orange,a large fluffy sticky white head atop that held great lasting power.Fruit and yeast stand out most in the aromas the use of lemon,and watermelon peel show as does the ginger (wich shows up more in the flavor of the beer) along with some yeasty clove-like spice.Big almost chewy mouthfeel adds character to the beer,quite complex flavors juicy fruit along with some yeasty spice with a very noticeable ginger and white pepper element in the finish.Normally not a huge fan of the style but this has some American twists and complex flavors,very nice...again.

2.48/5 rDev -34.2%
Thanks to Jeff for cracking this - my first taste of any Vertical Epic ever. For some reason I've always passed them up on the shelves, but I was excited to try one that was 5+ years old. Vertical Epic 07 pours the murkiest and swampiest shade of trudgy brown with a yellow-ish tint that I've ever seen. Completely opaque to any and all light and capped with a foamy, big-bubbled, quickly settling eggshell head. Looks like swampy butt juice, seriously what the hell?
Oh gosh, the aroma is even more strange and nebulous than the appearance of this beast. Tomato juice, bubblegum, belgian yeast, vinegar, pounds of ginger, sour-ish cardamom, highly vegetal... Is this a beer or a spiced V-8 splash? Not sure how you blend a saison and tripel and end up with this, though perhaps some of the disarray is induced by the added (and unnecessary) spices. This surprisingly gets a little better as it warms, but it's still a pretty awful smelling beer.
The taste is just a bit better, maybe because at first, the flavors are kind of masked. It still has the weird, vegetal-ish, V-8 flavor happening with more green hints (celery, lettuce?) and that's really killing things for me. The ginger is kicked up about ten notches as well, and it's mildly sour and does not play well with the also-copious amounts of cardamom. This brew is a pretty tough one to stomach, though I think I can make it.
The back-end brings some slight reprieve as there's finally a hint of something I recognize and like in my beer - Belgian yeast. Some bready yeast, clove, and just a bit of citrus peel. Once the strange tartness (seriously, where does this tart note come from) finally fades and the vegetal flavors have a chance to leave your palate, you can finally taste the Belgian influence and all hope is not lost. Unfortunately, I think it's too little, too late.
No complains on the mouth feel, and the carbonation was pretty good considering nearly six years of age was placed on this sucker. But for real, this was pretty awful. I managed to choke all of it down, so it did not enter drainpour territory, although it was getting awfully close. I think it might be a good thing that this beer will never be made again, for the sake of beer drinkers everywhere.

Beer review from BA Mag Sep 2007.
Like past VE releases, this one is another strong Belgian-style ale; but this year's twist is that it's a Saison/Tripel hybrid, brewed with four malts, Glacier and Crystal hops, and spiced with ginger, cardamom, grapefruit peel, lemon peel and orange peel.
Deep golden, with rich, bright amber hues, topped with a healthy-looking creamy white foam head that laces and sticks well. Smells like a fruit cup, with a powdery, slightly metallic background note, soft floral bouquet and some distinct cardamom. Creamy on the palate, smooth and medium-bodied, rounded, but a bit plain due to a thin carbonation edge. Up front there's a nice ginger zing and a smack of citrus. Kind of sweet, with some toasty and bready malt notes, a hint of caramel and a light fruity ester that sits on a somewhat tamed cardamom base. Some gummy notes in the middle. Spicy, peppery alcohol bite and warmth. Finish is really dry with a bready and earthy linger.
A most interesting combination of two very distinct styles--but not the strongest out of the series. Though the cardamom was probably used gingerly (sorry about that), it just doesn't work for us--cardamom is pretty damn aggressive. Removing it and allowing the nuances from the Belgian yeast to shine would have worked better; which, in turn, would have given the ginger and citrus more of a presence. It's also lacking the light-bodied effervescence and dryness found with both styles. Aging could prove beneficial.

22oz bomber. Pours into my glass a slighty hazy bright orange/yellow hue. A nice half inch of creamy white foam appears atop the brew and slowly falls. Aromas begin with spicy yeast and light citrusy tones. Definetly some ginger in there are as well. Fruity esters abound. Somewhat grainy maltiness as well. Interesting.
First sip brings a crisp, spicy light malt upfront that carries lots of tropical, citric flavors with it. Spicy ginger makes itself known midway through and the brew flows down with just a touch of hops. Finishes a bit dry with a lingering fruity spiciness and a blast of yeastiness.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with good carbonation and a crisp finish. Goes down fairly easily and the bomber disappears pretty quickly. I'm just not too sure what this beer is trying to be and at no point did it really grab me. I'll let my other bottles sit and see what happens with some age. Thanks to KingG for hooking me up with this one.

22 oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden-orange with a small white head that quickly disappears.
The aroma is wheaty malts with some spices and a little fruit and alcohol and some grassy hops.
The flavor is sweet malts, spices (clove, ginger) with some fruitiness. It has a grassy bitter finish. As it warms, the sweetness and ginger become a little cloying. The mouthfeel is medium and watery with low but sharp carbonation.
Overall, a decent Belgian, but not too striking to me. The blend of overwhelming flavors don't balance out really well.

"Stone calls this one a Golden Triple / Saison Hybrid" What more needs to be said? Stone bomber, Pours orange/amber clear, moderate off white head and just respectable lacing. Nose is boldly of fruity sweetness and spicy intrigue. Complex brew. upfront you will find plenty of fruit, spice, sweet malt. Candy apple sweet, tropical fruit sweet, coriander spice, ginger spice, gin spice. You either will love or hate this one and it will be interesting to see what some time does to mellow it out and perhaps bring things together a bit. For now its bold, complex and to my warped taste buds quite tasty...go get some and enjoy...thanks to Keith from DeCiccio market in Pelham, NY for letting me know this one had come in and was on the shelves...

Opened 22oz Bomber and poured into snifter.
Nice foamy light tan head forms atop a vibrant amber brew that is hazy.
Smells quite aromatic. Some hops, some spice. Nothing distinguishable. Taste is weird at first, but after a few sips, it becomes very palatable. Nice bitterness. Good hoppy taste with light citrus and ginger. Really great beer.
Has a really nice body and nice mouth feel. Very drinkable, but it definitely not a chugger. Sip like fine wine.
I plan on purchasing more of these as it is quite worthy. Very recommended.

As a stone whore myself, i saw this in my local bottle shop and figured eh what the hell ill pick up a few. Im glad i did as a frequent ris and dipa drinker this was a nice lighter change without being flavorless. Nice fruity taste but not in an offensive way and its hard to pinpoint what it is. Not stones typical offering's but its a very good solid beer and im looking forward to trying the rest of the line.

22oz bomber, capped. Pours a hazy, deep amber color with a ruby hue. Frothy three-finger white head shows decent retention and leaves some sporadic strands of lacing.
The aroma is dominated by spicy, peppery, yeast undercut by apricot and berry notes. The flavor follows, along with tangy citrus and creamy banana, along with some vanilla and some candy.
It's pretty light in body, and without being aged, lacks a bit of complexity. But stick this in the cellar and I'm sure it will be a gem--and is still quite enjoyable now.

This Belgian Ale pours a copper to amber color, frorm the bottle and into the glass. The head was minimal, even with a vigorous pour. The smell is faint, not really indicative of anything. The taste is bland and nonpleasing, being overwhelmed by a sticky sweetness. There is a bitter, metallic, taste at the end of the sweet. This is not really a pleasurable offering, by Stone's usually standards.

A. The appearance is a dark golden color with very little head.
S. The aroma is really sweet, with some floral belgium notes. Some fruit notes of apple cider.
T.the flavor is similar, and finally some complexities from the yeast.
Mf. Maulty, decent carbination.
Overall, not bad for the style and age.

Appears a honey glazed golden hue with a large white head leaving speckled lacing behind very impressive look to it. Aromatics contain delicate floral hops ginger spiciness mild background sweet and tart while grape tartness mild pineapple and pear fruitiness very aromatics like an insense candle burning slightly perfumey hop component going down. Flavor citrus peel viscosity tannin like character with a ginger finish, complex alcoholic swetneess honey tinged spicy notes good flow here but I see some age will help mold this one. Mouthfeel has a slightly syrupy character strong fortified carbonation, stay on your palate pretty unrelenting. Drinkability, definitely still young and a bit abrasive good thing it needs to last until December 12th, 2012. I really enjoyed the blend of the citrus and ginger here I could definitely take on some sushi with this complementing my dinner.

Served in 10 oz snifter at the 2013 Most Arrogant Bash.
Remarkable orange-amber color; crystal clear with a small but partially durable head. Very little lacing.
The aroma is not promising, with too much suggestion of vinegar. Otherwise, a wild mix of spices over a fruity base. The flavor also has a suggestion of vinegar but, thankfully, this is much more subdued.
M: Still lightly hot, the higher ABV is not well hidden. Low carbonation works well.
O: At 6 years, probably the oldest beer I've had, and probably past its prime, even if specially delivered by Stone. Still, interesting, fun and enjoyable, if flawed and slightly challenging.

This beer pours a clear golden color, with a nice fluffy off white head. The head has a slightly yellow tint to it. It fades slowly, leaving a nice lacing.
This beer has a spicy aroma. I smell coriander, cloves, and grains of paradise. This beer also has some grainy aroma. I can smell a nice mild citrus hop aroma as well. Some citrus notes are also present.
This beer tastes very much like it smells. It is mostly spicy, with some grainy flavor. I can taste the citrus hop flavor as well.
This beer is full bodied. It goes down smooth, leaving a clovey aftertaste. It is highly carbonated.
I think that this beer might make a decent session beer. It might be a little too spicy to enjoy a few bottles at a time. Also, the alcohol content is a little high.
Overall: This is a good beer. I have never had any complaints with the Vertical Epics, and I have had every one. Will this one mak it? I am not sure, but I am leaning towards no. I predict that this beer starts to develope a bandaid lik flavor after a little while. I hope I am wrong.

Appearance - A nice honey/bronze color with 2 fingers of white head. Mild retention and lacing.
Smell - Major notes of apricot, oranges, banana, and spices (especially pepper).
Taste - Some mild citrus hops come on the tongue first. Soon after the spices appera to balance the citrus flavors. There is some ginger which helps cleanse and tame the palate for the barrage of wonderful tastes.
Mouthfeel - Smooth with little carbonation. Gl;ides down the tongue effortlessly. The hops keep everything dry.
Drinkability - Definitely will try out subsequent years of this. Have a few aging and hopefully they turn out well. This is a nice mix of saison and belgian double/tripel. Recommended.

Drank 1/25/13
(Served in a teku)
A- This beer pours a deep apricot body with a touch of haze and a gentle carbonation of tiny bubbles supporting a thick ring of antique white head. The second glass has a micro-jetsam suspended in the body.
S- The spun sugar aroma has some bright lemon tartness to it with a mellow more full dry spice in the finish. There is some cardamom aroma with ginger warmth and a pale malt sweetness as it opens along with a cream aroma.
T- The jelly marmalade orange flavor takes on some lemon flavors that grow. The mellow cardamom is still strong with ginger heat growing stronger aswell, and some tangerine zest in the finish. The ginger heat shows up in the after taste. The finish is dry but the citrus gives it some perceived sweetness.
M- This beer has a light mouthfeel with an alcohol heat only on the exhale.
O- This beer improved a bit with age but the flavor profiles are a bit awkward together and has sort of a old time aftershave quality to the flavor. I was hoping for more yeast character to push the spice and citrus into secondary flavors, but it wasn't there.
(Served in a tulip glass)
drank 7/20/2007
A- This beer has a crystal clear light amber body with a snow white head that fades to a thin ring around the glass. There is a gentle carbonation of tiny bubbles that glide to the surface.
S- The note of perfume and flower petals comes through with a dry spice note like that of cardamom and frankincense. There is a light green vegetation note in the finish but it is not specifically hops. The hints of pale sweet malt come through lightly as the beer warms but it has more corn sugar than malt qualities.
T- The taste of dry candy sugar comes through with a very light white wine note and a note of perfumed spun sugar. The note of cardamom is soft but increases as the beer warms. The finish has a soft grapefruit rind note with slight snap of ginger without the ginger taste. The green notes of hops are soft in the finish but are present with the other flavors.
M- This beer has a light mouthfeel with a light alcohol heat in the finish.
D- The spice flavors are a bit off and stronger than the sugar/malt flavors. I think some age could improve this beer and hopefully quiet the spices a bit. The hops are soft already so it might be a totally different beer in 5 years.

22oz. brown bomber, poured into a Leffe over sized wine glass. Properly cellared.
A: Pours a beautiful glowing tangerine amber color with good visibility. About a fingers worth of white head forms and holds for a bit. A bit of lacing to start.
S: Lots of spices, a spearmint makes up a healthy portion of it. Some natural catnip smell and toothpaste, too, lol. Maybe some white pepper. Fresh spring flowers backed by some malt sweetness. Very interesting.
T/M: Right up front you get exactly what the nose offers with an edge to the spearmint and toothpaste. After the initial burst you get a drying yeast character, full of fruity and floral esters and backed by more spices... maybe some chardomum(sp?) and coriander. Light malt body with plenty of sweetness and candi sugar. Carbonation has held up very well and keeps things alive.
D: Extremely interesting and pretty drinkable. Complex enough to be a sipper... and the ABV :)

What makes this pesto different is that I use walnuts instead of pine nuts and spinach and mint in place of basil. This recipe makes eating raw spinach exciting -- and, trust me, I'm not a spinach-salad kind of person! But I really enjoy it this way. The mint sweetens it and the salty Parmesan seals the deal. Cumin gives a spice to the chicken, which pairs so well with these flavors.

Prop 8 opponents come out in force

Here are some reactions I had to that joyful gathering:
1 -- it was very positive. There wasn't much -- if any -- baiting of the few drivers who registered disapproval. That's incredibly important to maintain, and much in keeping with the peaceful civil rights movement legacy this group is inheriting.
2 -- it seemed that the overwhelming majority of cars were enthusiastic in their responses to the rally. Honks, smiles, thumbs-up and waves aplenty. Exhilarating for both drivers and participants. Thanks for honking Danvillians!
3 -- nice to see so many "traditional families" rallying together against this Prop that would exclude some Californians from having fully-recognized families of their own.
3 -- Pretty cool, and very appropriate, to have both Uncle Sam and Miss Liberty's brother aboard.
4 -- a lot of people still use their cell phones when they drive. ;-)
Come on out and join the important fun, on Saturday or Monday!
No on Prop h8!

And shouldn't the headline read Prop 8 OPPONENTS come out in force?
NO on h8!
on Oct 30, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Pardon me, Editor. We were there rallying in force as opponents of prop 8, not proponents. And what a great rally it was. Thank you all, for your presence, and your support.
Please, vote no on 8.

On September 13th Eric Prydz joins forces with Data Recordings to bring you his hotly-tipped summer anthem �Call On Me.� Commandeering a vocal from age-ripened rocker Steve Winwood�s �Valerie�, the first time Winwood has given clearance for one of his tracks to be used, Swedish-born Prydz loops it into what promises to be the biggest funked-up house monster of the season. Lola�s what?
Starting life as an mp3 in the hands of only a select few DJs �Call On Me� has spread like wildfire, surfing label bidding-wars and dodging a spate of bootleg rip-offs along the way, to eventually land in the hands of Mr Winwood himself who liked the track so much he re-sang the vocals. Prydz began making music at the tender age of 9, and was so fanatical even at this early stage, that a lack of equipment was simply a minor obstacle in his quest for stardom. He developed a habit of breaking and entering in order to �borrow� his school�s keyboards: a habit that soon landed him in a Swedish reform school. But this set back merely strengthened his resolve and, buoyed by encouragement from influential friends such as Steve Angello, Prydz was soon producing tracks that found their way into the record boxes of some of the worlds most high profile DJs.
Influenced by the production quality of the �first generation� of Stockholm talent, such as H�kan Lidbo and Adam Beyer, the Prydz sound is a merging of his love for Depeche Mode, early-electronica and a catchy 80�s melody with the stimulus of artists such as Alexender Kowalski and Underground Resistance. Working from his (literally) underground studio in the heart of Stockholm, Prydz creates hard-hitting tunes, with a firm foundation in funk but what sets him apart from the crowd is his talent for hooks and melodies.
After the success of an initial release on EMI, Eric moved to the label�s flagship dance imprint Credence and released the hugely successful �EP1�. By the time �EP3� came around, Eric had developed into one of the hottest names in house music. Word of his production skills soon spread, making him one of the most sought-after remixers on the scene. His work for the likes of Junior, Positiva and Ministry of Sound found favour with DJ�s including Seb Fontaine, Judge Jules and Pete Tong and his remix of �Miracles� even added The Pet Shop Boys to his long list of admirers.
The story behind the bootleg:
Two years ago Eric and producer friends Retarded Funk were working together in the studio when they hit upon the idea of using Steve Winwood�s �Valerie� as the basis for a dance track. Armed with a CDR and keen to test it on the clubbing public, Prydz passed a copy on to DJ Falcon during one of his UK gigs, who immediately made it a regular fixture in his sets. Eric couldn�t have anticipated the stir the track would have: fans clamoured for more information, only for it to be uploaded to an internet site, assumed to be the follow-up to Thomas Bangalter & DJ Falcon�s �So Much Love To Give� and wrongfully attributed to them.
As demand for �Call On Me� grew an enterprising distributor downloaded and pressed up the track under the guise of Thomas Falcon �Valerie�. This went on to trouble the German DDC Chart, in a guise no different to Eric�s own version, apart from the addition of an acappella vocal from French band Phoenix. Meanwhile Eric spent his time producing his own version and eventually gained all important clearance from Steve Winwood to use �Valerie�.
Prdyz�s hard work paid off when Winwood not only gave clearance for the sample to be used exclusively by Data (the first time he has ever done this for any of his songs), but also went back into the studio to re-sing the vocals!
So on September 13th ignore the imitators and pick up �Call On Me� as Eric Prydz releases the original, legal version on Data Records.

CATEGORIES Movies'Smurfs' this is not. The first image of the third 'Harold & Kumar' movie has finally arrived -- and it's about as goofy as you would imagine. John Cho (Harold), Kal Penn (Kumar) and Neil Patrick Harris (himself) are dressed up like extras in a production of 'The Nutcracker.'
'A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas' (are we just naming every third movie in a series 3D now?) will feature our stoner heroes having to replace a Christmas tree after the one belonging to Harold's family "goes up in smoke."
You can check out the first photo, along with the marijuana-laced movie premise (courtesy of /Film), below.
After years of growing apart, Harold Lee and Kumar Patel have replaced each other with new friends and are preparing for their respective Yuletide celebrations. But when a mysterious package mistakenly arrives at Kumar's door on Christmas Eve, his attempt to redirect it to Harold's house ends with the "high grade" contents - and Harold's father-in-law's prize Christmas tree - going up in smoke. With his in-laws out of the house for the day, Harold decides to cover his tracks, rather than come clean. Reluctantly embarking on another ill-advised journey with Kumar through New York City, their search for the perfect replacement tree takes them through party heaven - and almost blows Christmas Eve sky high.
What do you think of the new 'Harold & Kumar' pic?

Human Rights Law Practicum
Course Description
This hands-on course brings together U.S. and Indian law students around a project that is focused on advancing the human rights of some of the world's most vulnerable workers. Students will analyze the relationship between labor, migration, health, and human rights. They will spend three intensive weeks together in New Delhi evaluating and documenting the human rights violations facing migrant workers in the construction and/or garment industries. Students will interview workers, document violations, and assess potential interventions, which may include education, litigation, collective organizing, report writing, media campaigns, legislative reforms, and other forms of advocacy. In addition, students will explore how to increase the accountability and transparency of the corporations that use these workers in their global supply chains. For example, students might examine issues such as unauthorized subcontracting, sourcing standards, fair labor principles, and codes of conduct. After returning to the United States, students will work on a substantial written project to advance the fieldwork. This written project could take the shape of a human rights report, a legal brief, a policy analysis, or a new theoretical framework for thinking about certain types of labor violations, such as the contemporary meaning of forced labor.
Our partners for this practicum include:
National Law University, Delhi
Society for Labour and Development (SLD)

- Dining at M&SOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/30/2014The food was excellent however, this restaurant is overpriced for the meals (i.e., 4 adults, 1 child paid $200+). The Harbor location and things to do is nice. Paying for parking to enjoy a meal at the National Harbor is still not the best option. I would recommend visiting this M&S for special occasions or when they offer specials deals. M&S should offer parking vouchers (3-4 hours) for guests who primarily visit the National Harbor to dine at their restaurant. Warm RegardsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The food was good!WorkerbeeDined on 8/30/2014Our food was really good and our waiter was excellent and helpful. We had to wait a bit for our table but it was okay. We had a good time once we got there. It was really cool that you get a free birthday brownie that was delicious!!!!! We had a harder time finding parking and there was no handicap accessibility!!!!. The street was cordoned off and one of our party was on crutches and the other has a heart problem. Our choices were to take the concrete stairs down five levels or walk a block over to a ramp that was pretty steep. That part was awful but we managed the stairs! The Harbor should have some sort of accomodation for the handicapped!!!!Special Features:

- National HarborBirthdaygirlVIPDined on 8/23/2014Had a terrific well-priced meal--parmesan encrusted flounder. It was so yummy! On the other hand...my husband had a very expensive ($30+) filet mignon about the size of a golf ball.
- A major disappointmentFrobozzDined on 8/23/2014Went here for an anniversary dinner and so much went wrong that it's hard to know where to start. We were bum-rushed the entire night, with the waiter pressing us for the full dinner order when we put in for drinks. We weren't even halfway through our salads when she showed up with the entrees. "Would you like me to keep these warm for you?" she asked. Of course not -- we don't want dried-out warmed-over seafood. This should not happen at a restaurant of this alleged quality. My wife's crab cakes had shredded crab, not the lump crab advertised on the menu. My blackened grouper was grilled, not blackened. Sides were all fine but not particularly memorable. We skipped dessert and fled. They got us out of there -- forever -- in 40 minutes.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014Found a hair in the food. Was offered a free dessert, but we weren't staying for dessert. Thought another form of compensation should have been offered. Management was very nice when notified, but still left feeling something should have been done.
- nice view but food not the bestscreaminDined on 8/22/2014We went to the outside dining area first (as that is the area you approach first) and told them we had a reservation. We were told that seating outside was on a first come, first served basis, but to check in inside (for reservation) and then they could seat us outside. When we checked in, they just told us to go outside and didn't note we had arrived for our reservation. Once outside they sat us, but it was a complete waste to have to go check-in inside. The service was fine but the food was fair at best. There was no flavor on the filet mignon I ordered and it came with no sauce of any kind. My wife's atlantic salmon was flavorless as well. My daughter had the crab stuffed flounder, but it too had a bland taste. Save your money.Special Features:
- kitchen needs workbitesixeDined on 8/22/2014The chefs need training on steak temperatures. Had my food recooked twice. But the service was excellent.Special Features:
- A Nice Place for Drinks or FoodsparttimefoodieDined on 8/21/2014We have been going here since this location opened. This was one of the best experiences so far. We were seated right away even though we were early. Our server, Amanda was great, very pleasant & efficient. They staff at the front desk did forget to give my wife the specially printed birthday menu (I dropped her off). Amanda got it for us. Someone did call in the morning to confirm a window seat but the front staff did not do it. We were pleased with Amanda so we stayed in the inside table. The food was hot & cooked just right. The manager visited and checked on how things were which was nice.Special Features:
- so glad I came back here....OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/21/2014The food was delicious! Crab dip was yum! Waiter didn't check on us regularly enough for me, but all drinks and food was served promptly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not bad but not greatOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/19/2014The service was so so from the beginning a bit slow and the waitress didn't seem too eager. It was Crowded but we had reservations so there was no wait. As we were being seated we noticed the table wasn't cleaned and there were still dirty glasses on the table. Sorry but you don't walk people over to be seated to a dirty table. They also had no lobster or lobster tails, which my son had been looking forward to all day. His comment was how does a seafood place run out of seafood, especially on the water.....We saw the waitress once after we ordered and that was because I waved to her to order another drink. And I'm sorry do not circle the recommended tip amounts at the bottom of the receipt that just annoys me even more....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- one year anniversaryHappyInLoveDined on 8/18/2014it was my and my significant others one year anniversary.. our waiter was fantastic (i don't remember his name, unfortunately) he asked what we were doing that night and we told him we're out for our one year.. he then asked if he could bring us some champaign, which was very kind. All the wait staff/Host staff were very friendly; therefore setting the perfect mood for the restaurant. Very joyful and welcoming!Special Features:
- Attracts loud/inconsiderate typesEmeraldDined on 8/17/2014Was looking forward to a wonderful dinner after seeing Cirque du Soleil at Natl Harbor with my husband & 3 sons. Assumed Mc & S would be a safe bet, but knew immed that we had made a poor choice -the tables around us had young, extremely undisciplined children...high pitched screaming, crying, etc. with absolutely no discipline from the parents (who were loud too!) We could not hear each other speak. My stomach was in knots and had a headache by the time the drinks came. We told our waitress that we had to be moved outside, or else we had to leave period. Thankfully, there is outdoor eating at this resteraunt, and a table was available. For the price you pay for dinner here, the horrible indoor eating environment is unacceptable!
- All great except the rib eye steakzekesmomDined on 8/17/2014This is a lovely restaurant and we were put at a window table without having to ask. Every employee we encountered there was friendly and helpful. All of our food was delicious except the rib eye steak and fries. The steak was cooked properly, but the quality of the meat was about what we could buy at a regular grocery store and the fries were not remarkable either. I can recommend the lobster bisque and the crispy fish tacos. They were the best fish tacos I have ever had. The bread was delicious also. To be fair to the restaurant, we did not tell them the steak was mediocre. I feel sure if we had they would have dealt with it to our satisfaction. Perhaps their steaks are normally great and we just got a lower quality one somehow that day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service/wine/managerRoomTempDined on 8/16/2014Ordered wine. It came out. Waitress tried to open the bottle and cork broke 3/4 of the way down. She left with bottle. Our amazing food came out. Great steak, stuffed shrimp and scallops ever. Waitress returned as I had my 5th or 6th bite of steak. I tasted the wine. Room temp at best. I allowed others to taste. Unacceptable. She left and returned with manager. I was now 3/4 done my steak. He said he tasted it and it was as cold as they had. Wow! Great answer. I said I would drink my water and then find another place to order wine. He said okay. Never was asked about dessert on my wife's birthday no less. We left and went next door for a dessert and after dinner drink. Disappointed in McCormick and Scmitts. No return for us.Special Features:

- Outstanding!!!BuffBoiDined on 8/16/2014Service was GREAT! I had a table for 14 and only 8 showed. They were accommodating and hospitable. I was leery at first because of the previous reviews, but decided to find out for myself. My waitress was the best and the overall experience was simply wonderful. FIVE STARS!Special Features:
- Retirement ExperiencetmgrantDined on 8/15/2014We only had ten people and the service was awful. One of my coworkers ordered first and received her food last. She had already told our waiter that she needed to eat ASAP! We had members of out group arrive late and they still received their food before her. The manger did comp her meal but the experience will remain with all of us.Special Features:
- Staff Couldn't Care lessUnimpressedDined on 8/15/2014From the moment we walked up, and were told we didn't have a reservation (despite showing them the email confirmation from Open Table), to the begrudging manner in which we were squeezed in to a corner table (as if they were doing us a favor!) to the very slow service, this was a huge, and expensive, disappointment all round.
- Great food unfortunate experienceIlovewineDined on 8/13/2014Food and drinks were great! I am Not sure if they were under staffed or our server was too busy but the service was so slow and disconnected. It took 30 min after we sat to get drinks despite ordering them as soon as our server came. Two of us didn't get some of out food but couldn't ask for it bc no one came to check on us. I will dine again bc it was good food and we enjoyed the atmosphere, but just hope for better service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/13/2014The food was awful...and save yourself from happy hour their. The drinks were watered down and the appetizers were paltry. Dinner proved greasy fish...how do you even make that happen?
- Great Restaurant Nestled at HarborBSB4MDDined on 8/11/2014This was a great restaurant nestled at the National Harbor... The ambiance and food are great qualities which makes me want to go back again soon. We definitely will dine there for special occasions - will take my Mom, just because..Special Features:
- Big Bucks, Little Bangleebles73VIPDined on 8/10/2014We have dined at the DC McCormick & Schmick's many times and loved it. Unfortunately, the Nat'l Harbor location does not live up to its city counterpart. Our meals were just mediocre and average. The fried calamari tasted fine, but the crust fell off and disintegrated. The Chesapeake Rockfish was overcooked and tough (but served with delicious potato mash and veg). The NY Strip was cooked to medium instead of med-rare as ordered, and the fries were dull/limp instead of hot/crisp. It made me wonder if our food had "died" in the window and was not expedited properly. Again, the food was NOT terrible, inedible or return-to-the-kitchen-worthy, just very disappointing, especially at the price per plate.Special Features:
- SmithyDined on 8/10/2014One member of our party (4) had issue with her dish and the M&S wait staff and later management quickly took care of the matter without event. I have always lauded M&S for good service and cusine that I discovered on a business trip in California many years ago.

We sat outside, so a bit noisy, but great view of the fireworks. Very busy on a Saturday, so make reservations early and request outdoor seating in the notes section.Special Features:
- EnjoyablecmvcheerDined on 8/9/2014We enjoyed our meal. It was very good. We had the crab cakes and the filet with lobster mashed potatoes. Food was served promptly and was hot and very tasty. One thing I can say is that our waiter's English was awful and it was difficult to understand him. We were seated and within a hot second he was there to greet us. That is great! However, if we have not had an opportunity to look at the menu, we cannot possibly order wine, appetizers, etc... We felt rushed right from the get go. I was immediately annoyed when within 2 minutes he returned and asked again. Slow it down over there. A better way to greet me is to ask if I have ever been to the restaurant before. From the answer, you should train them how to proceed.Special Features:
- Nice eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014Showed up 45 min early. The place was packed with 1.5hr wait. Still got in 15 min early. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was good but pricey. Great for special events.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

There are some great things floating around the web Tuesday morning. Here's a couple stories you'll want to know about.
From Huffington Post's Weird News section, a school in Maryland has now put a ban on hugging, homemade food and also passing out birthday invitations.
The school says if a student doesn't get an invitation to a party, that student could get their feelings hurt.
Get the full story here.
Also, YouTube has a video that will probably be the most adorable thing you'll see all day! A young girl tries really hard to blow some bubbles, but she just isn't very good at it. Click here to check out this very cute video.

Charles Krauthammer: S&P Issued Negative Outlook On Obama's Deficit Reduction Speech
Credit ratings agency Standand & Poor's Monday placed a negative outlook on the future of America's AAA debt rating as a result of looming budget deficits as far as the eye can see.
Later in the day, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer of Fox News's "Special Report" said this move by S&P was actually a negative review of President Obama's deficit reduction speech last Wednesday (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I don't think what S&P issued was a plea. I think what it issued was a review, and it was a review of the President's speech. This is not about whether there'll be an agreement on the debt ceiling as the White House would like to pretend. What we heard from S&P is this is about will there be real deficit reduction agreed to by the President and the Republicans. It has to be agreed between them, because one controls the White House and the other controls the House of Representatives, and their answer is "No." And this credit rating is not in jeopardy today. It is an outlook, but what it means is there is a one in three chance it is saying today that within two years it's going to have to downgrade American AAA rating, which would be a shock to the system unlike any we've ever had.
BRET BAIER, HOST: Right. Outside of the debt ceiling vote or anything pending in coming days.
KRAUTHAMMER: Right, the debt ceiling vote is not what this S&P forecast is about. It's about what are the prospects of getting control of the debt itself. And the answer is "Little." And the reason is the Wednesday speech, the beginning of a campaign kickoff. That is why the President is out in the country now. That was not a speech about reducing the deficit. The numbers the President offered were suspended in air untethered to anything. That was a kick in the teeth at Republicans with incidentally the House leadership and Ryan sitting in front of him. It was not an invitation to any negotiation. It was a way of saying, "You walked into my trap, I'm going to now attack you from now until Election Day."
Krauthammer is likely quite right.
There was nothing economic that happened last week other than the President's speech to precipitate this action by S&P. If the agency had been disappointed by the 2011 budget agreement reached by Republicans and the White House on April 8, this negative outlook would have been issued last Monday.
Instead, the ratings agency likely waited to see how the President was going to respond to Congressman Paul Ryan's (R-Wisc.) 2012 budget proposal, and clearly wasn't pleased with what it saw.
This is now two credible deficit reduction plans this White House has chosen to ignore with the first being offered in December by the President's own debt commission.
As much as the Left and their media minions want to claim this is about raising taxes and/or the upcoming debt ceiling vote, all the credit rating agencies are fully aware that you can take every penny of income away from the so-called rich, and it won't balance the budget. Readers are advised to review Monday articles by CNS News and the Wall Street Journal on that very subject.
As for the debt ceiling vote, since the deadline is still weeks away, there was no reason for S&P to go "negative" now when those discussions are just beginning.
Instead, America's credit rating agencies are looking to see evidence that Washington is serious about cutting spending, and as far as S&P is concerned, what they got from the President Wednesday didn't assure them this is at all the case.

It's not exactly a trap unless you happen to believe President is a victim of circumstance rather than master of chaos.
There is absolutely no evidence this President wants anything less than the fall of Western Civilization through incremental surrender, culminating in a crescendo of cries from the masses, "But you promised!!"
We debate whether this man is foolish, or crafty. He's entirely too successful with his agenda, to be foolish in the sense we generally think of foolishness.
The fool has said in his heart "there is no God".

Submitted by bkeyser on Mon, 04/18/2011 - 8:59pm.
I noted earlier today that Reuters put out their first report on this by quoting one liberal as saying his S&P warning was about Republicans not wanting to raise taxes. Clearly though, the warning indicated austerity measures, not tax increases. Reuters was interjecting into the story their own narrative. (My link from earlier now goes to a later piece; I looked on Reuters' site for the earlier piece, which appears to have been scrubbed.)
An AP piece from later in the day couldn't get away with it -too much had been revealed by that point- but still spun it as a "rebuke to President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans." Congressional Democrats were left out of both reports outside of brief "gang of 6" references.
I'm just wondering if the S&P isn't really just sending a cautionary signal about grandma and snow.

You mean S&P don't think Obama can fix this just by giving a speech about it?

The debt commission was wrong, Ryan is wrong. Obama knows that everything will be fine; they just need to tax rich people more!

Submitted by KC Mulville on Tue, 04/19/2011 - 2:13am.
There's no reason to believe that Obama is serious, or sees this as anything beyond the next campaign slogan. The only way to avoid the question of spending without actually cutting anything is to demagogue this to the point of distraction and fear, and that's exactly what the Democrats are actively doing.

Yanks' homegrown talent often overlooked
Contribution to Series title most recognizable in bullpen
During the Yankees' run to the 2009 World Series title, most of the attention, understandably so, went to big free-agent acquisitions CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira. And while it's overstating the obvious to say that trio played a large part in bringing the championship back to New York, it shouldn't be forgotten that there were a number of young, homegrown players who played vital roles as well.It was most evident in the bullpen. A weakness heading into the season, the bullpen ended up being a strength when all was said and done thanks to arms scouted, signed and developed by the Yankees' farm system.
#ques_include {width:170px;float:left;margin-left:5px;padding-right:5px;} #ques_content {border-top:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;padding-left:1px;} .ques_schedule {margin-top:5px;font-size:11px;} .ques_dates {font-size:11px;font-style:italic;color:#999;}
Phil Hughes became a go-to eighth-inning guy, Alfredo Aceves won 10 games out of the 'pen, David Robertson's 12.98 strikeouts per nine innings was the best among relievers with more than 40 innings pitched in the American League, even Phil Coke, who had more bumps along the way than his colleagues, was a solid contributor to the relief effort. Throw in Joba Chamberlain's move to the 'pen in the postseason and that's a quintet with an average age of 24.6, all of whom came from down on the farm."That was big," said Mark Newman, Yankees senior vice president of baseball operations. "We don't get there without those guys. The bullpen was a major question early, and those guys solidified it." The big league club also got a boost from young players like Brett Gardner in the outfield, Ramiro Pena as a utility man and Francisco Cervelli, who stepped in behind the plate when needed. There was progress down below, though some injuries slowed some, Ian Kennedy being the biggest example. The two top prospects in the system, Austin Jackson and Jesus Montero, continued to make positive strides, though Montero was shut down early due to a broken finger (he's expected to be fine). With Montero, Cervelli, Austin Romine and Kyle Higashioka, catching continues to be a strength in the system. They're joined by some arms who have kind of flown under the radar but are moving through the system nicely. MLB.com's two-time organizational pitcher of the year Zach McAllister might the closest to helping out in New York. He'd gone relatively unnoticed during his climb up the ladder, but after a 2.23 ERA with Double-A Trenton in 2009 brought his career mark down to 2.81, the phone has been ringing a bit more with inquiries about the right-hander. "There are sexier guys than him, but he's moved solidly through the system," Newman said. "He made a big jump with improved performance and we're getting more hits on him from the industry. There's no better indication than that." McAllister moved up to Triple-A Scranton at the end of the season to join another of those interesting arms, Ivan Nova, during the team's playoff push. Scranton made it to the championship round in the International League, Tampa won the Florida State League title and Staten Island took home its fifth New York-Penn League championship. Even the rookie-level Gulf Coast League club made it to the playoffs. The end result was a .544 winning percentage for the organization, the second best success rate in baseball. ORGANIZATIONAL PLAYERS OF THE YEAR MLB.com's Preseason Picks Jesus Montero, C: It was easy to pick Montero to take home back-to-back organizational hitter of the year awards, predicting he'd keep hitting for average and add some more power. Mission accomplished. Before an injury ended his season early, Montero hit .337 with 17 homers and 70 RBIs between Tampa and Trenton. He slugged .562 and finished with a .951 OPS, all at the age of 19. Dellin Betances, RHP: The temptation was to go with McAllister as a repeat along with Montero. That would've been the right way to go. The prediction that Betances, another year removed from arm trouble, would challenge for the Minor League strikeout crown, didn't come to fruition. MLB.com's Postseason Selections Jesus Montero, C: That's two-for-two for the young backstop. Even though his season got cut short, he still was among the tops in the organization in homers and RBIs. He's also two-for-two in Futures Game appearances, going to New York in 2008 and St. Louis this past year. In his brief professional career, Montero has hit .325 with a .379 OBP and .509 SLG. Zach McAllister, RHP: Back-to-back and belly-to-belly, as Yankees broadcaster John Sterling might intone. This past year, McAllister posted an organization-leading 2.23 ERA, marking the second season in a row he topped the system in that category. He continued to show good command, with 33 walks in 121 innings and moved up to Triple-A to help Scranton in the playoffs.
