Perkins offers a range of degree programs, allowing the student to follow a path best suited to his or her vocational direction. Many of these programs are structured so as to allow a concentration in a particular area of interest.
The Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree is designed primarily for students who plan to be ordained clergy and serve in Word, sacrament, service and order. It may also equip a person for other specialized ministries.
The Master of Arts in Ministry (M.A.M.) degree program is intended to prepare persons for specialized church ministry. The goal of the program is to increase students' knowledge about the church and its ministries and to foster their ability to work meaningfully and creatively in a specialized area of church ministry.
The Master of Sacred Music (M.S.M.) degree program is jointly sponsored by Perkins School of Theology and the Division of Music of Meadows School of the Arts as preparation for professional music leadership in the church and, if one chooses, ordination as deacon.
The Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S.) degree program is designed to provide a basic understanding of the theological disciplines as a foundation for further graduate study, for enhancement of lay leadership roles or for personal enrichment.
The Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degree provides the opportunity for advanced study that integrates theological reflection and ministerial practice with a contextual focus for people in professional ministry within the church.
The degrees of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Master of Arts (M.A.) in Religious Studies are offered by the Graduate Program in Religious Studies in SMU's Dedman College. The primary goal of both degree programs is to prepare persons for professional careers as teacher-scholars in colleges, universities, and schools of theology. The MA degree program also aims to accommodate the qualified nonprofessional student interested in advanced work in religious studies within the context of the liberal arts and sciences.
More detailed information on degree programs is available from the Perkins Catalog.

Carolina Panthers
Greg Olsen - #88 - TE
|6' 5"/ 255 lbs.
|Wayne, NJ
|Miami (FL)
|Years played
|2007, 1st round, 31st pick by Bears
Bears fantasy focus
RB Matt Forté should have another productive game against the Lions' 24th-ranked run defense in Week 13.
Five questions with PFW publisher Hub Arkush
This week, Hub says Jay Cutler definitely makes his list of the top 10 quarterbacks under 30 years old and that he'd be surprised if Tommie Harris is still with the Bears next season.
Bears fantasy focus
The Dolphins have done a pretty good job of shutting down tight ends of late and this may not be the week to play Greg Olsen.
Bears fantasy focus
Bears RB Matt Forté has disappointed fantasy owners in the past, but he is worth a start in all formats against the Bills.
Bears-Bills matchup of the day: Friday
If offensive coordinator Mike Martz can find ways to get TE Greg Olsen open, which he hasn't done a great job of doing lately, the Bears' offense could have one of its better games of the season.
Bears fantasy focus
Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz said this week that the Bears need to run the ball more, which may not have been good news for owners with Jay Cutler on their roster.
Cutler insists Bears doing all they can to get Olsen involved
Each Wednesday throughout the season we'll identify one player, coach or area of the Bears that is under the microscope. The week, TE Greg Olsen is the choice.
Bears fantasy focus
Fantasy owners should steer clear of starting any Bears wide receivers in Week Five.
Bears-Giants matchup of the day: Saturday
Bears TE Greg Olsen should be lined up across from Giants SLB Clint Sintim often on Sunday evening.
Olsen trade rumors seem premature in Chicago
While it would appear a greatly reduced role could be in the cards for Bears TE Greg Olsen in the team's revamped offensive system, we hear reports of his possible departure are premature.
Martz may adapt, utilize Bears' tight ends
Mike Martz has a history of using his tight ends as blockers, but our NFC Whispers say the presence of Greg Olsen in the Bears' lineup may change that pattern.
Olsen poses challenge for new Bears coordinator
The Bears' new offensive coordinator needs to get a lot more out of TE Greg Olsen, who quickly became QB Jay Cutler's good buddy off the field but had a hit-or-miss connection with him on the field.
‹‹ previous 1 2 3 next ››
Olsen matched a team high with five catches for 42 yards Sunday in a 31-17 loss at NFC South rival Atlanta.||||||| Olsen is second on the team with 25 catches and is building chemistry with rookie stud QB Cam Newton. Expect good things for Olsen next week against a solid Redskins defense.
The Chicago Bears have traded tight Olsen to the Carolina Panthers for an undisclosed 2012 draft pick.||||||| A first-round draft pick in 2007, Olsen has 194 catches for 1,981 yards and 20 touchdowns in his career, but it's no secret offensive coordinator Mike Martz prefers blocking tight ends. Olsen finished 2010 with his lowest totals in receptions (41) and yards (404) since he was a rookie in 2007. He still tied for the team lead with five touchdown catches, but there was widespread speculation that he would be dealt.
Olsen had five catches for 39 yards in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Giants.||||||| Olsen will look to get open against linebacker Jon Beason in next week's big road test at Carolina.
Olsen just missed his first career 100-yard game, finishing with 94 and a touchdown on five receptions in Sunday's 37-23 win at Detroit.||||||| Olsen set career marks for receptions (60), yards (612) and touchdowns (eight) this season.
Olsen had five catches for 71 yards and three touchdowns, the highlight of a tough day for the Bears in a 41-21 loss to Arizona.||||||| This was the breakout game of the season for the talented tight end, who now has six touchdowns and has been looked to consistently by Jay Cutler. The Bears face San Francisco on Thursday, so get him in your lineup early if you want to play Olsen this week.

Alicia, Nathaniel, and little B.J. are a tight-knit group of siblings.
They are placed together in the same foster home, and want nothing more than to be adopted together. Alicia told us what it would do to her if she and her brothers are separated.
"It would break my heart."
We met this adorable sister and two brothers at It'Z Family Food and Fun in Euless, where the children got to play and eat as much as they wanted. Alicia, 8, is as intelligent as she is beautiful. At school, she has two favorite subjects.
"Art, because we get to do lots of fun things, and science, because we get to explore stuff," she said.
Nathaniel, 6, is in first grade and does well at school. He is happy, healthy, and handsome with those beautiful blue eyes. When I told him Santa might be watching this report, he quickly made his request.
"Dear Santa, I love you," he said. "I want a PSP and a remote-controlled car."
And just when you think these children can't get any cuter, along comes 4-year-old B.J. who exudes pure love.
B.J. is behind developmentally, but has no problem expressing his needs and wants. With a little help, he also sent Santa Claus a message as we fast approach Christmas!
"I want toys for Christmas!" he said.
Alicia, Nathaniel, and B.J. will need a lot of individual attention and extra help with their education. They desire parents who are patient and calm, with a mommy who is affectionate.
"I'm looking for a great family and she likes to give kisses and hugs and she cooks us warm hot chocolate in the winter," said Alicia, with a big smile on her face.
During this season of giving, the hope is that a forever family will give its heart to these precious children who are filled with so much joy.

The weekend of fun in the sun in small North Dakota towns continued in Velva today, with the kickoff of their second annual Ribfest.
11 competitors spent more than 10 hours smoking and preparing 1700 pounds of meat to be tested and judged this evening for a 500 dollar prize.
These crews have spent the past few months getting ready for the big competition.
(Shawn Vedaa, Ribfest Chairman) "They, of course, signed up, you know, in the past few months. We asked for ribbers to come in and so they started setting up at 7 and started cooking shortly after that."
Ribs were judged on taste, presentation, and tenderness.
Today also included a street fair with local vendors, pedal tractor pull, and more activities.
The chairman says this Ribfest brought the small community together in more ways than just by filling their stomachs.
(Shawn Vedaa, Ribfest Chairman) "I think a lot of people in North Dakota grew up in the small town, and people always crave that small town atmosphere, and last weekend we had a parade here, and quite a few people were here for that, and you know, it just gets people to go back to their roots and experience that."
There will be 3 concerts starting at 7 in Velva tonight, including Blackhawk
Chantelle Pepple says she hopes people will have a greater appreciation for what "this monster took from this world and my family."

Capitol Beat: The second election seasonNovember 26,2012Waterbury Rep. Rebecca Ellis, and Barre Rep. Therese Tess Taylor are seeking a Democratic caucus vacancy in the Statehouse as the assistant majority leader, a position that helps facilitate communication between legislators and party leadership.
I think in that process its really important for the individual legislators to know that theyre being heard and have an opportunity to speak and have an opportunity to discuss ideas and priorities, Ellis said.
Ellis was appointed as a state representative by Gov. Peter Shumlin in 2011, and was recently elected to a full term.
She has also served on the Waterbury Select Board for seven years, including four years as chairwoman. She also served on the Waterbury Planning Commission from 2001 to 2006.
Ellis said in addition to helping build consensus through the funding and construction of two firehouses in Waterbury, she was moved by the ability of a group of people to work together in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene and that her experience was something she could bring to the job of assistant majority leader.
During the immediate aftermath of the storm, a key group of about 20 leaders often met daily for about a month, and Ellis also helped facilitate 22 long-term recovery projects.
Taylor was first elected as a state representative in 2008. She served two three-year terms as a school board member with Spaulding High School and the Barre Technical Center, which included time as chairwoman. Shes also been on the board of the Barre Supervisory Union, which shes also chaired.
One of her major accomplishments in working with others includes helping resolve an 11-day teachers strike in 2005.
She also has board experience with the Central Vermont Workforce Development Board and the Barre Partnership, a nonprofit focused on revitalizing the citys downtown that she has headed as president.
Taylor said shes been able to reach out to others because of her experience with the Vermont Historical Society, where she previously served as the director of education and public programming.
As reported in Seven Days, the opening comes as the current Democratic whip, Addison County Rep. Willem Jewett, is seeking the position of majority leader. Caledonia County Rep. Lucy Leriche held that position, but she didnt run for re-election.
The caucus will vote Dec. 8.
State bank idea stays alive
Anthony Pollina, a Washington County Progressive, Democrat and Working Families senator, wants the state to look again at the possibility of a state bank.
Currently, the vast majority of incoming tax revenues or federal money the state receives goes to TD Bank, which earns a profit and charges fees, Pollina says. Through a state bank, which would use existing local banks or a state agency like the Vermont Economic Development Authority, the state could earn interest and use the money to re-invest in businesses or student loans, advocates say.
In 2010, a preliminary analysis by the Vermont Legislative Joint Fiscal Office wrote the system has a number of potential long-term benefits, but it would likely have a complicated and controversial transition.
Committee hearings have gathered testimony about the possibility, but banking representatives have opposed the measure.
A bill to study the issue was introduced last year by Pollina and Chittenden County Sen. Ginny Lyons, a Democrat, but the proposal ultimately was tabled.
Pollina said during an interview last week a state bank would work in partnership, rather than competition, with banks. He also said he believes that public support is more receptive now than it was two years ago.
He also said the University of Vermonts Gund Institute for Ecological Economics has supported the idea.
A fellow with the institute, Gary Flomenhoft, took part in legislative testimony on the issue.
He has suggested the North Dakota state bank was a key factor in that state having a budget surplus following the 2008 stock market crash while other states came out of it with deficits. Hes pointed to how in 2009 the North Dakota state bank returned $30 million to the state based on investments.
A conference from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 7 at the Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier is set to include a discussion on the issue of state banks. The conference, called Vermonts New Economy, costs $25. Attendees can register at www.global-community.org/cgi/gc/neweconomy/.
Pollina is also working to draft a bill for another study group to try to undo declining state funding for state colleges for the cost of college education.
The state currently funds about 12 percent of the cost, Pollina said. In 1980, state funding paid for about half, and tuition covered the rest, he said.MORE IN Vermont NewsAs the children of former U.S. Sen. Full StoryJames Jeffords called it his first vivid memory.

Win-Win Redux: Donate to Heart Walk, Get Your Screenplay Read by a Professional Manager
Last year, we posted about a great opportunity for screenwriters to donate to a great cause and get their screenplay read by a professional manager in return. If you missed your chance last year, screenwriter Joe Nienalt and Benderspink manager Daniel Vang are back to help Joe raise money for the 2013 Heart Walk. Last year, with Daniel's promise to read screenplays from Joe's Heart Walk donors, Joe raised almost $45,000 for the American Heart Association (up from over $8,000 the previous year). Over the past two years, two writers and a writing team got representation as a result of Daniel reading their scripts through the fund drive. Joe appreciated our nofilmschool post about his Heart Walk campaign so much last year, he linked to it from his own post to help people understand why they should donate. Joe reached out to us again this year to help him spread the word, and we're happy to do so. To find out how you can help a good cause and your own screenwriting career, check out the details below: More »

At the beginning of the summer, we posted about this amazing opportunity to donate to screenwriter Joe Nienalt's Heart Walk campaign and get a professional manager, Daniel Vang of Benderspink, to read your script. If you've procrastinated like me, now is the time. October 6 is the deadline to donate to Joe's campaign and get the added benefit of Daniel Vang reading some or all of your script. As I write this post, Joe has raised over $28,000 toward his $30,000 goal – truly amazing. Let's push him over the top for a great cause. I just made my $100 donation, and here's how you can do the same. More »

Is North Dakota's energy boom impacting its wildlife? One expert says, probably.
Mike Eastman is a big supporter of oil and gas production in the U.S. He's also the creator of the popular TV show, "Eastman's Hunting TV" on the Outdoor Channel. This weekend, Eastman is speaking at the Bismarck Sports Show. His experience in Wyoming and the impact there of greater energy exploration and drilling on mule deer lead him to believe there's likely an impact in North Dakota too.
"They're building these roads and pads on winter range, and it does impact them," says Eastman. "Now where they impact yours, I don't know to what extent, but it's got to impact them somewhat. But I'm not against oil and gas. It brings a lot of jobs to my state."
The Game and Fish Department commenced a five year study in January to examine the impact oil exploration has on mule deer in the western part of the state.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

It's Sunday night at the time I'm writing this, and it's just the tip of the iceberg that has been my very hectic weekend. Right now, I'm trying to squeeze in some blogging in between the rock show I just got back from and some work for my "day" job that has to be done before the start of the Frankfurt workday, which means I have literally five minutes to write the rest of this blog post. So instead of my regular charm and wit, I'm afraid you'll have to settle for a link dump this week.

The moment I flipped to the pattern for the Illusion Jacket in the first US edition of Burda Style and I was struck smitten. My heart was a flutter for the crazy fun sleeves. Added bonus of the jacket pattern was that going to be able to use my favorite fabric, ponte knit, in the garment.
The jacket length and lines reminded me of mid-century dress coats. And when I found the heavy weight laminated wool in metallic silver visions of 1960's Paco Rabanne danced in my head.
Because glitter sealed wool is never enough, I lined my jacket in a vivid raspberry and when I wear the garment open the luscious color pops out and makes smile.
Construction Details: Sliver snaps are the closure. For the ponte knit under-sleeve I altered the pattern by cutting the cuff on a crosswise fold. In construction this encased the seam allowances creating a clean knit sleeve whose weight rivaled the outer laminated wool. I chose to line upper-sleeve in black satin, this created contrast, made a clean finish and also controlled the bulk at the sleeve join.

It's been almost six months since the disappearance of 27 year-old Jennifer Lynn Wilkerson. Since then the Lubbock County Sheriff's Department has followed several leads that have all come to a dead end. Saturday, one lead brought them to a piece of property in Northwest Lubbock. The search began early this morning, members of the Sheriff's department found no evidence that could be linked to the disappearance of Wilkerson, but still Sergeant Greg Parrott says they are getting closer each day.
"Every day we receive something, something new something different that leads us in hopefully a positive direction and we feel that we are going to have resolution in this case very soon," says Sgt. Parrott.
It was through witness interviews the Sheriff's Department decided to search this field in Northwest Lubbock on Saturday. It was a search that like the previous ones came to a dead end. Still Sgt. Parrott remains positive.
"We've come out to several of those locations and have been conducting searches of those areas. If nothing else we've been able to rule out some properties," says Sgt. Parrott.
In the meantime friends and family wait for Wilkerson's return or for at least a sense of closure.
"It's just weird nothing nothing fits together. Once things start fitting together then something else comes up that just makes it all, it's just crazy," says Jessica Bullock, Wilkerson's roommate.
Bullock says Wilkerson was the type to drop everything when she knew a friend needed help.
"If I was having a problem, she would make me laugh and if she was having a problem I'd make her laugh and hearing her laugh would make me laugh. I wish she'd come back," says Bullock.
Bullock says the circumstances surrounding Wilkerson's disappearance is what is most peculiar. Wilkerson left her purse, wallet, cell phone and house keys. In fact not a single one of her things vanished along with her.
"She was getting paid the next day she never picked up her paycheck. Just everything that she would have done she didn't do," says Bullock.
Bullock believes that somehow, somewhere Wilkerson left a clue.
"Her favorite show was CSI so if anything happened to her she'll do something for us to find her. I mean it's Jennifer something will come up she's smart enough," says Bullock.
For now all friends and family can do is pray and wait, while the sheriff's department works to discover the clue that many believe Wilkerson could have left behind.
If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Jennifer Lynn Wilkerson, you're encouraged to call the Sheriff's Office at 775-1601 . All callers will remain anonymous.

Bach 180S37 Stradivarius Series Bb TrumpetThe Bach Stradivarius 180S37 Silver Professional Bb Trumpet offers depth and color of sound, coupled with the even intonation and response a professional player needs. Good for all-around playing, this Bach 180 Strad Pro Trumpet features a standard weight body and #37 bell, plus a standard construction #25 mouthpipe in silver finish. The most popular Bach Stradivarius trumpet available today is the 180S37 with a yellow brass bell. This trumpet is also available with a 1st valve trigger (180S37T) or 1st and 3rd valve triggers (180S37W55), or with a gold brass bell (180S37G). The Bach 180S37 Stradivarius Series Silver Professional Bb Trumpet includes a case and mouthpiece.The 180S-37 features a #37 bell with a medium-fast taper to produce a sound that has a brilliant sound with a warm quality that allows this instrument to work well in multiple musical settings—from jazz to concert or solo playing. The #25 leadpipe allows for slight resistance that is effective in centering tone production. These features combined with a .459-inch medium-large bore allow the player to produce a well-rounded sound while not over-extending the endurance level of the player. The Monel valve material allows the pistons to be machined to a consistent diameter throughout the entire length of the valve to produce a more efficient "seal" between the piston and the interior wall of the valve casing. The result is less air leakage that could cause performance problems.

I have been playing trumpet since the 7th grade. I am now considered of legal retirement age, so have been playling for quite some time. I have owned about four trumpets (each one a different brand) but have tried out many other brands over the years. I have read some reviews which say that the Bach Strads are "inconsistent" and that the "quality" is not what it used to be. Based on my own Model 180S37, I would strongly disagree. This horn is the easiest one for me to play and I do sound better playing it than any other horn I have ever used at any price.
I give it five stars in every possible category and would recommend it highly. As with any instrument, you want to play one first. If you do, you will see what I mean.
There are a lot of great trumpets out there but when it comes right down to it-- the 37 bell ML Bach Strad. is hard to beat. After decades this is still the trumpet to which everything else is compared. My new post-strike Bach plays great and the workmanship is as good or better than ever. There is just something about the 37 bell that no other maker has been able to duplicate and goodness knows many have tried. Some trumpets may play brighter or darker or hit the high notes a little easier but this is still the trumpet to have. I've owned and played any number trumpets including the most expensive "boutique" trumpets and many of them have been great trumpets, don't get me wrong-- but I've always gone back to the ML bore 37 yellow brass Bach Strad!
I have been playing on a Bach 180s37 Stradivarius trumpet since my freshmen year of high school. This horn survived four intense years of high school marching band, jazz band, concert band, and pit orchestra. I am now a freshmen trumpet player in the Purdue University "All-American" Marching Band, as well as one of Purdue's Jazz Bands. My bach strad still performs as well as the first day I oiled it's valves. The bach strad can deliver a wall of sound from the middle of Ross-Ade Stadium, to a thick, lush sound in Orchestra. I NEVER have problems with "sticky valves" or slides. Whenever I go in for a music audition, I always know that my bach strad will be as responsive and melodious as I want it to be. Kinda pricey, but you get what you pay for!
I love my Bach Strad. I?ve had it for around 4 years now. This horn has lovely tone quality and fantastic range. It is great!! I am in high school and think this trumpet is perfect for everything I?ve done so far. It holds up phenomenally and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to purchase a trumpet.
This is the standard for great trumpets. Crystal clear, beautiful voice is a pleasure to play.

Immersion Trips
"Students must let the gritty reality of the world into their lives to feel it, think about it critically, respond to its suffering, and engage in it constructively."
– Fr. Peter Hans Kolvenbach, The former Superior General of the Society of Jesus
Immersion Trips
University Ministry immersion trips provide experiences of direct service rooted in relationship, engaging in the Works of Mercy. They offer students the opportunity to work in the service of the common good, encounter new realities, and reflect on their experiences in the context of a diverse community. By focusing on the Works of Mercy, students become the leaders that Detroit and our world need: persons for others.
What are Immersions?
Immersions are key experiences of a transformative Jesuit and Mercy education rooted in social justice. These experiences include manual labor, cultural learning, relationship building, and daily prayer and reflection. The Works of Mercy are actions of service rooted in relationship. They offer a life-long path for our students to become persons for others, and we believe that performing them changes the world.
The Physical Works of Mercy
The Spiritual Works of Mercy
Spring Immersions
March of 2014, during spring break, students traveled to five locations throughout the United States to engage in direct service. Students built community, reflected and shared work with communities affected by injustice. They immersed themselves in an issue of social justice.
- Milwaukee, WI
- Detroit, MI
- Sacramento, CA
- Chicago, IL
- Salem, WV
Summer Immersions
Right after finals in 2014, students will traveled to an international location and a mystery location within the United States to engage in direct service. Students immersed themselves in a new culture or cultivated their sense of openness and trust. They built community, reflected and shared work.
- El Salvador, Central America : Jesuit Fr. Dean Brackley said of El Salvador, "First, it will break your heart, then you fall in love, then you're ruined for life." The history of El Salvador is a painful memory still lived very much in the present. The people of El Salvador still struggle to heal emotionally from a devastating civil war in the 1980s and continue to struggle in the midst of globalization. The story of the people of El Salvador is full of resilience and joy despite their despair and tragedy.
- Mystery Trip : Without knowing where they were going or in what type of service they wouldl engage, students cultivated their openness and trust, committing to service and accompaniment wherever it led. We asked that you come as you are, with a heart prepared to enter an unfamiliar place. No details were given until the week before the trip.
Winter Immersion
- New Orleans, LA : The winter of 2014, UDM students traveled to New Orleans, LA for disaster relief. During this trip students accompanied those who have been affected by natural disasters. In August 2005 and again seven years later, New Orleans and southern Louisiana were ravaged by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Isaac.New Orleans and the surrounding area, particularly Plaque mines Parish to the southeast, experienced harsh weather, flooding and high wind damage severely impacting the community.

MILWAUKEE -- Less than 24 hours after the Brewers showcased four pitchers, who began the season in the Minor Leagues, in a win over the Marlins, another promising young arm took the field at Miller Park. Too bad right-hander Jake Odorizzi was wearing a pinstriped suit and not a baseball uniform.Odorizzi, the 20-year-old right-hander who pitched the first eight innings of a no-hitter for Class A Wisconsin last month, was honored Saturday as the Brewers' Minor League Pitcher of the Year. He was joined by Minor League Player of the Year Erik Komatsu, 22, an outfielder who had a fine season at Class A Advanced Brevard County, but sits a bit lower on most prospect lists than Odorizzi. "It was pretty cool to see the guys who pitched [on Friday], all Minor Leaguers," Odorizzi said. "I was thinking, 'That could be me here. Hopefully, soon.'" Brewers area scouts Harvey Kuenn Jr. (Odorizzi) and Josh Belovsky (Komatsu) were also part of Saturday's celebration. It didn't last long; Odorizzi and Komatsu were scheduled for a 7 a.m. flight back to Phoenix on Sunday to continue their instructional league work. The Brewers honor their top farmhands annually with the "Robin Yount Performance Award," somewhat ironic considering Yount played only 64 Minor League games at the low-A level before debuting as an 18-year-old Brewers shortstop. "Both of them had great years, and character came into play, too," amateur scouting director Bruce Seid said. "The managers and the coaches raved about them. "Jake continues to progress as one of the top pitching prospects in the organization. You look at his 'stuff,' his ease of operation, and you can tell his maturity is beyond years. ... Erik was Mr. Consistency this year. He hit between .310 and .320 all year, and he wound up at .323." Komatsu also hit five home runs with 63 RBIs and 28 stolen bases in 130 games at Brevard County in the pitcher-friendly Florida State League with more walks (68) than strikeouts (61). Komatsu led the league in runs scored (90), on-base percentage (.413) and walks, and ranked second in the league with that .323 average. He also manned all three outfield positions. The Brewers drafted Komatsu in the eighth round of the 2008 Draft out of Cal State-Fullerton. His 2009 season was ruined by injuries, a concussion followed by wrist and hamstring issues. "It just goes to show you that if you put numbers up, it doesn't matter if you're a 50th rounder, or you didn't get drafted, or a first-rounder," Komatsu said. "If you do things right, you'll be rewarded." Said Belovsky, the scout who signed Komatsu: "I'm proud of him, because he had a tough year last year. It just goes to show you that in this game, you have to be healthy." The Brewers drafted Odorizzi in the supplemental first round (32nd overall) of the 2008 First-Year Player Draft out of Highland (Ill.) High School. He spent the entire season at Wisconsin, going 7-3 with a 3.43 ERA (120 2/3 IP, 46 ER) in 20 starts and three relief stints. As a starter, Odorizzi went 7-2 with a 3.20 ERA, and on Aug. 24 he combined with reliever Adrian Rosario on a no-hitter of Cedar Rapids. Odorizzi was named the Midwest League Pitcher of the Week after that game, and the Brewers brought him down to Miller Park to recognize him on the field. A month later, he was back for an even bigger honor. "I take it as, I have to fulfill this now," Odorizzi said. "They handed me this award and I have to go live up to it, but I'm not going to let the pressure of it affect me or anything that I do. I'm still going to do my same thing, work hard and do everything I did to get this. I'm not going to be overwhelmed by the title of it."
Rehabbing DiFelice re-signs with Brewers
MILWAUKEE -- Chris Capuano and Mark Rogers returned to the Brewers this season after long layoffs caused by injury. Could right-hander Mark DiFelice follow next year?DiFelice has missed all of 2010 following shoulder surgery, but has already re-signed with the Brewers for 2011. He is pitching at the team's instructional league program in Phoenix. He may continue his comeback in winter ball, and his Minor League contract calls for an invitation to Major League camp next spring. "He should be good to go for next spring," assistant general manager Gord Ash said. DiFelice made 59 appearances for the Brewers in 2009 with a 3.66 ERA but developed shoulder soreness late in the season. He underwent surgery on Dec. 3 to repair a torn labrum and rotator cuff.
Worth noting
Manager Ken Macha said Mark Rogers' second big league start would be Thursday against the Mets in New York. Rogers pitched three scoreless innings in his first start Friday night before reaching his pitch limit. ... Shortstop Alcides Escobar returned to the Brewers' lineup on Saturday after spending two days working one-on-one with hitting coach Dale Sveum on some mechanical adjustments. Escobar has a flaw in his swing that coaches believe has contributed to his second-half slump.

The charity says the helicopter, which is able to fly at night, and the training centre in Huntingdon, mean it can now move towards its goal of providing 24-hour cover, seven days a week.

Delve into the sacred and mysterious landmarks of the Inca Empire, including famed Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas, and other ancient temples, all precisely constructed without mortar
DAY 1 – February 27, 2015
After flying into Lima International Airport, you will be met by a representative and transferred to the Casa Andina Private Collection Miraflores, a four-star hotel in the heart of Lima.
Afterwards, enjoy dinner on your own in the hotel or in one of the nearby restaurants and then retire for the evening.
DAY 2 – February 28, 2015
Much of the early morning is devoted to the flight from Lima to Cusco, once the capital of the Inca Empire. After arriving in Cusco and checking into the JW Marriott Hotel, you will enjoy free time to acclimate to the elevation (11,152 feet above sea level) and explore a bit on your own. Note: All of the rooms at the JW Marriott have an oxygen enriched system to help acclimate you to the altitude. This upgrade service has been included in this package.
In the early afternoon, you will embark on a city tour of Cusco, starting with the sacred site of Koricancha. Here, you will admire the lovely Dominican Convent of Santo Domingo that was built on the foundations of the Temple of the Sun, the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire. The curved, mortar-less masonry wall at the west end of the church is considered to be one of the greatest existing examples of Inca stonework.
Continuing on, you will see the splendid Baroque-style Cusco Cathedral, built in the mid-1500s on the foundations of an Inca palace. Many of the stones used in its construction were looted from the nearby Sacsayhuaman fortress, your next stop.
Strategically located on a hill overlooking Cusco, the fortress was constructed without mortar like many other Inca structures. Yet the enormous stones (some weighing 200 tons) of the remaining walls fit so tightly that not even a thin blade of grass can slide between them. The craftsmanship is a stunning example of the Inca's sophisticated construction techniques and architectural skills.
After returning to your hotel, you will spend the evening at your leisure. As you will be dining on your own, you will receive a dinner certificate for a three-course meal and drink. The "dine around" certificate can be used at several participating restaurants.
DAY 3 – March 1, 2015
Following breakfast, you will drive to the train station and board the Vistadome Train, which features large panoramic windows for excellent viewing of the passing landscape.
Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, you will drive to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore this famous "Lost City of the Incas." Constructed as a royal retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 1400s, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later, its population probably devastated by smallpox. Because the Spanish conquistadors never found this hidden city, Bingham discovered it largely intact.
Architectural highlights include the Temple of the Sun, designed much like the one in Cusco, several other temples, hundreds of terraces, and a mysterious carved stone situated on a raised platform that towers above the plaza. The stone may have been used for astronomical observations, but no one knows for certain. The Inca had no written language, so there is no record of Machu Picchu's ultimate purpose. Scholars are still striving to uncover clues as to its mysteries.
After visiting Machu Picchu, you will enjoy a relaxing lunch at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge Hotel at the site's entrance, and then board the Vistadome Train back towards Cusco. Upon arriving in Ollantaytambo, you will transfer back to your hotel for the evening and dinner on your own.
DAY 4 – March 2, 2015
After flying back to Lima, you will transfer to the port of Callao to embark the ship.

• Comfortable walking shoes with low or no heels. Sandals may not be comfortable for some sightseeing activities.
• Sunglasses (with a strap), sun block and a sunhat as well as insect repellent.

You might remember this list from my Puck Daddy post back in July...well, here's the same, minus one game, of course.
Atlanta Thrashers at Florida Panthers (Oct. 11, 2008)
You might be saying, "What the hell could this game be good for?" Well, it's not so much as anything between the two teams, but the return of a player. Richard Zednik will return after the horrendous skate-to-throat injury he suffered last February. You can be sure there will be a long ovation when he hits the ice.
Washington Capitals at Pittsburgh Penguins (Oct. 16, 2008)
You can't have a "Games to Watch" list without Alex versus Sid. Another interesting storyline is the entire "Ovechkin taking runs at Malkin" thing that we saw a few times last season. This rivalry is only going to get better now that the Capitals have improved themselves and have a stud defenseman in Karl Alzner ready to hit somebody. The teams meet again on Jan. 14, Feb. 22 and March 8, all in 2009.
Sean Avery plays against his former mates and you can be sure he won't mind stirring some crap up. Ex-teammates be damned, Avery is going to be drawing penalties, turtling, and yapping his gob the entire game. I guess we'll see how some of his former teammates felt about him now that he'll be wearing an opposing jersey.
Dallas Stars at New Jersey Devils (Oct. 22, 2008)
Meanwhile in Jersey, Martin Brodeur and Sean Avery rekindle their feud. Over/Under on the amount of ice showers Brodeur gets by Avery is now up to four. Luckily for the Devils and Marty, these two teams will only play once, so "Fatso" can rest in his crease in piece.
Tampa Bay Lightning at Washington Capitals (Nov. 10, 2008)
Olaf Kolzig comes back to the city that he spent the last 19 years in.It'll be an emotional night as one of D.C.'s most popular athletes returns home and, despite being nudged out the door last season, Olie the Goalie will want to prove he still has something left in the tank.
Tampa Bay Lightning at Pittsburgh Penguins (Dec. 23, 2008)
The Lightning, also known as Pittsburgh-South, comes back to the Steel City and fans will have their chance to welcome Adam Hall, Gary Roberts, Ryan Malone, as well as Michel Ouellet and Mark Recchi home. Will Pittsburghers boo their hometown boy Malone? Or will he be given a hero's welcome with his gutsy Game 5 performance still fresh in memory? There are so many interesting match-ups for Tampa Bay next season, it could have its own list: What about Jan. 12, 2009, when the Mullet returns to Hollywood to face the Los Angeles Kings? Or for that matter, on April 3 when he goes to Newark for the first time as a coach after trashing the city on ESPN?
Detroit Red Wings at Chicago Blackhawks (The Winter Classic), Jan. 1, 2009
The third incarnation of the outdoor game is upon us and let's all hope this new portable rink will diminish any ice problems like we saw in Buffalo this past New Year's Day. It should be fun to see the brown ivy in the middle of winter and "The Windy City" faithful come out in full support of their revived Blackhawks, who'll no doubt be wearing vintage jerseys.
Detroit Red Wings at Pittsburgh Penguins (Feb 8, 2008)
Marian Hossa faces his former teammates after he basically said they did not have a good chance to win the Stanley Cup. He passed on playing with Sidney Crosby for the next 5-7 years and took less money to head to Hockeytown. This one might have some bitterness. Oh, and these two teams played in the Cup final or something, too.
San Jose Sharks at Boston Bruins (Feb. 10, 2009)
The prodigal son returns for a second time as an opponent. Joe Thornton was never shown the love during his time in Boston as he was not considered a big game player, especially in the playoffs. He moved to San Jose in 2005 and has continued that trend. Will the boo birds be out when Thornton comes back? You can bet on it.

The Dallas Stars traded center Mike Ribeiro Friday to the Washington Capitals for center Cody Eakin and a draft selection.
Eakin, 21, played in 30 games for the Caps last season with 4 goals and 4 assists. The Winnipeg native started the 2011-12 season with the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League.
"Cody Eakin is a young, competitive player who we've had our eye on for some time," Stars general manager Joe Nieuwendyk said in a statement released by the team. "He plays a solid two-way game and epitomizes the 'hard to play against' mentality we're building our team around. Cody's future is bright, and we're excited to add him to our club."
The 32-year-old Ribeiro spent the last six seasons with the Stars after starting his career with the Montreal Canadiens. He played in 74 games for Dallas in 2011-12 and had 18 goals and 45 assists.
"We'd like to thank Mike for his contributions the last six years with the Dallas Stars, and wish him well with the Washington Capitals," Nieuwendyk said in the statement.
With the trade, Dallas now has three picks in the in the second round of the NHL Draft.

Bruce Spence
Bruce Spence Biography:
Lifelong devotion to the field of acting has cemented the legacy of a particular Kiwi Actor. Bruce Spence was born on the 17th of September 1945 in Auckland North Island. This 6'7'' tall actor has made a record in the Guinness records for being the tallest actor in a leading role. Despite him being born in New Zealand, most of his acting career was spent in the Australian film industry. Another fun fact about Bruce Spence is that he had a role in the third editions of many popular trilogies like Mad Max, Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and the Chronicles of Narnia.
Bruce Spence Career and Movies:
Bruce Spence began his career by appearing in a lead role in the Australian comedy Stork. Bruce played the role of Graham Stork Wallace and did justice to the character in the movie. The movie was directed by Tim Burstall and incidentally he helped Spence enter the record books. Spence was very much active throughout his entire acting career having played small roles in movies like Three Old Friends in 1974. Another notable part of his resume was his performance in the Australian horror comedy The Cars that Ate Paris. Spence was a person who liked to get involved in comic roles and this movie was a little bit deviated from what he was usually accustomed to. He displayed his proficiency in performing comic roles in movies like The Great Macarthy in 1975. Spence played the role of Bill Dean in a movie portraying a humorous side to Australian football. In the 1990 comedy, "The Shrimp on the Barbie" he played the role of Wayne. He played the role of Doug Mitchell in the 1981 movie Double Deal. The majority of his popularity as an actor might have been gained when he played the role of the Gyro captain in the 1981 post apocalyptic action film Mad Max 2. He also landed with the role of Ted in the 1983 action-drama named Ted. He accepted the role of Jonah in John Duigh's production of an epic tale The Year My Voice Broke. Spence got the invaluable opportunity to work alongside renowned Australian actors such as Noyah Taylor and Loenne Carmen. Bruce Spence donned the sinister attitude and the foreboding make up of a 6000 year old vampire in the vampire drama Queen of the Damned in 2002. His performance had most probably spawned his reputation of being able to pull off the roles of intimidating characters. He had received and accepted the roles of the Trainman in two of the three editions of the Matrix trilogy. Such roles do give an insight into his acting abilities considering the fact that he appeared in the American comedy Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. In this movie, he got the chance to act alongside the comic icon Jim Carrey. In 2003, he played the role of the Mouth of Sauron in the Lord of the Ring: The Return of the King. Although that scene was edited from the actual movie, it was included in the extended versions. and the Chronicles of Narnia.
His most recent milestone has been appearing in the romantic drama Australia as Dr. Barker where he acted alongside award winning actors Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. He can also be seen as Lord Rhoop in the fantasy adventure Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Trader.
Bruce Spence has also made substantial contributions in the field of television making guest appearances in series like Zucker in 1987 and Return to Jupiter in 1997. In 2006, he played Vince in RAN: Remote Area Nurse. and the Chronicles of Narnia.
Bruce Spence's Personal Life:
When Spence is not working on any film, he lives with his wife Jenny, in their house at McMasters Beach, New South Wales Central Coast. He had married her in 1973 and has had two children with her. He is a diehard fan of Australian Rugby with his favorite team being the "Wallington Hurricane".

A group of people came together to help save a motorist trapped in an overturned car on an interstate ramp on Friday.Mike Smith said that he saw the car flipped over on the curve of the I-75 north ramp off I-20 east. "Just as I come to the bottom of the ramp, I noticed a vehicle turned upside down. And there's a lot of people stopping and getting out running to the car," Smith said.The Douglas County man captured the commotion on his cell phone. He said the female driver of the flipped car was trapped inside."Bunch of people start grabbing the rear end of the car, which was uphill, and started lifting," Smith said. "They grab the vehicle -- maybe at this point 15 or so people -- and lift it up. One person dives down on the far side of the car and goes under, another goes in on the other side, undoes the seat belt and pulls the driver out."Smith says when emergency crews arrived, care for the driver was already underway. "They laid them out on the ground. One guy took his coat off, laid it over them. Another one came over with a large sheet of plastic and laid it over them, to keep them warm," said Smith.Smith, a contractor who spends much of his work week on the road, says he wanted to showcase the kindness. He believes the quick-thinking actions saved a driver in distress. "The thought that so many people would stop and do whatever they had to do -- that was the cool part," Smith said. Georgia State Patrol said that the woman behind the wheel was a 19-year-old driving only with a learner's license. She was being treated for injuries at Grady Hospital.
