Athletics Honors "Outstanding Performers"
News Release Date:
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- Eight Whitman College student athletes are the latest recipients of athletic achievement awards given annually by the athletic department.
Each spring, the staff of Whitman's Department of Sports Studies, Recreation, and Athletics (SSRA) presents one male and one female from each class with Most Outstanding Performer awards. The 2008-09 winners were announced recently, along with a number of other awards, at the annual Whitman Athletics Banquet in the Reid Campus Center.
Soccer player Alisa Larson-Xu and men's basketball player Chris Faidley are the latest senior class winners. The senior awards are given in honor of the late Max Seachris, a former baseball coach and athletic director, and Lee Coleman, a retired swim coach and an early champion of women's intercollegiate athletics.
Corina Gabbert, also a women's soccer player, took home the women's junior class award, which is named in honor of former women's tennis coach Jayne McCarthy. Tennis player Dan Wilson won the male award for the junior class, which is given in memory of former tennis and basketball coach Bob Burgess.
Other winners of Most Outstanding Performer awards this year are sophomores Elise Otto (tennis) and Brian Barton (golf) and first-year athletes Amy Hasson (soccer) and Brandon Shaw (basketball).
More information about the winners follows:
Outstanding Performers: Senior Class
| Alisa Larson-Xu
| Chris Faidley
Alisa Larson-Xu, a graduate of South Eugene (Ore.) High School, was voted to the All-Northwest Conference Second Team following a senior season in which she contributed assists to three of Whitman's victories.
A team captain and defensive midfielder, Larson-Xu was one of "our unsung heroes because she played a position that doesn't account for a lot of statistics," Whitman coach Scott Shields said.
"Alisa made a huge difference for us on the field, where she was unbelievably consistent. She also was a true leader, on and off the field."
Larson-Xu's first assist came in Whitman's season-opening 2-1 victory over Pomona Pitzer. She also assisted on game-winning goals in two Northwest Conference victories over Lewis & Clark.
As a junior, Larson-Xu was voted to the NCAA Div. III All-West Region Third Team, as chosen by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. After playing one season at the University of California-Santa Cruz, Larson-Xu transferred to Whitman and started 52 games over her final three seasons.
Chris Faidley, a graduate of King's High School in Seattle, Wash., led the NWC in scoring as a senior, averaging 20.4 points per game, while earning All-NWC First-Team honors. He also led in the conference in 3-point baskets, finished second in both steals and free throw percentage, and led Whitman in rebounding (4.7 rpg) as a 6-foot-2 guard.
Faidley's senior season included a 42-point explosion against Linfield, which matched his single-game career high. He made 12 of 23 shots from floor, including six of 14 attempts from the 3-point line, and converted 12 of 13 free throw attempts.
Faidley was named NWC Player of the Week three times as a senior, giving him six such awards in three years. He also led the NWC in scoring in a junior, when he was voted to the All-NWC Second Team.
Faidley ended his career as Whitman's second all-time leading scorer with 1,720 points. He also finished second on Whitman's all-time list for most career 3-point baskets with 297. He holds the school record for most 3-point baskets (91) in a single season.
Outstanding Performers: Junior Class
| Corina Gabbert
| Dan Wilson
Corina Gabbert, a graduate of Catlin Gabel School in Portland, Ore., capped her junior season by earning All-NWC First-Team honors for a second straight year. She was named to the All-NWC Second Team in her first season at Whitman.
As a junior team captain, Gabbert led Whitman in scoring with 13 goals and one assist. Despite being slowed by a shoulder injury during the second half of the season, she finished second in the conference in both goals scored and game-winning goals.
She was named NWC Offensive Player of the Week in September after booting her first college hat trick in a victory over Linfield.
Gabbert also was voted last fall to ESPN The Magazine's Academic All-District Second Team. As a sophomore, she earned NCAA Div. III All-Region Second-Team honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
Dan Wilson, a graduate of Issaquah (Wash.) High School, was a key contributor as the men's tennis team swept through its third consecutive 16-0 NWC regular season and captured its second straight conference title.
Wilson and doubles partner Justin Hayashi went undefeated during the regular season, winning their first 17 matches. After losing for the first time at the NWC championships, they stormed through the first three rounds of the prestigious Ojai Valley tournament, knocking off the top-seeded team in the process before finally falling in the semifinals. Wilson and Hayashi finished the season with a 21-3 record in doubles.
Wilson also enjoyed a strong season in singles, going 13-6 overall and 9-1 against NWC opposition.
Outstanding Performers: Sophomore Class
| Elise Otto
|Brian Barton
Elise Otto, a graduate of Lewis & Clark High School in Spokane, Wash., made the All-NWC First for the second time in as many years at Whitman.
Counting the post NWC post-season tournament, she finished her season with a 14-5 record while playing in the highly competitive No. 1 singles slot. Her record against conference foes was 13-3.
Otto was named NWC Player of the Week in late February after leading Whitman to a pair of conference road victories.
Otto started her sophomore year in impressive fashion last fall, winning the singles title at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's annual Pacific Northwest tournament. She also teamed with senior Katie Oost to take the ITA's regional doubles title, advancing to play in both doubles and singles at the national small college championships.
Brian Barton, a graduate of Pasco (Wash.) High School, made the All-NWC First Team while establishing himself as one of the top golfers in the conference. He birdied the final four holes to win the NWC Fall Classic by three strokes, one week after losing the NWC Northern Colleges Fall Tournament on the fourth hole of a sudden death playoff.
Barton capped his season by placing second at the NWC Championship Tournament in April. Earlier in the spring, he was fourth at the NWC Spring Classic.
Outstanding Performers: First-Year Class
| Brandon Shaw
|Amy Hasson
Amy Hasson, a graduate of the International Community School in Kirkland, Wash., was Whitman's second-leading scorer in soccer with five goals and three assists.
She hit the ground running in her first season, contributing assists to Whitman's first two victories. One of those assists came on the game-winning goal in a season-opening triumph against Pomona-Pitzer. Her first college goal lifted Whitman past Willamette in its NWC opener.
Hasson also booted the game-winning goals in conference victories over George Fox and Lewis & Clark. She scored twice in the Lewis & Clark win.
Brandon Shaw, a graduate of Colleyville Heritage High School near Dallas, Texas, made an immediate impact with the men's basketball team, starting 24 of 25 games while averaging 16.6 points per game. He ranked fourth in the NWC in scoring, finishing behind two seniors and a junior.
Shaw was third in the conference in steals, averaging 1.64 per game, and 15th in field goal accuracy, making 47.0 percent of his shots from the floor. He scored a career-high 26 points, hitting nine of 15 shots, in an NWC game against George Fox.
In an early non-conference tournament in San Antonio, Texas, Shaw made the all-tourney team after scoring 36 points and grabbing eight rebounds in two games. He made 15 of 28 shots from the floor.

The Erie Otters' No. 1 line of Connor Brown, Dane Fox and Connor McDavid moved another step closer to each winning an OHL regular-season award.
McDavid joined Fox – the league's overager of the year – as an award winner Friday, as the second-year center captured the William Hanley Trophy as the most sportsmanlike player after ranking among the league leaders with 71 assists, 99 points and a plus-47 rating. He had only 20 penalty minutes, which was the lowest among the top 12 scorers overall.
McDavid is the second player in franchise history (Brad Boyes, 2001 and 2002) and third 17-year-old in league history (Hockey Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky, 1978 with Sault Ste. Marie and Kirk Muller, 1983 with Guelph Platers) to earn the honor. McDavid had 71 voting points to lead a list that included Oshawa left wing Michael Dal Colle (50 points) and London center Chris Tierney (35 points) after finishing second in voting to Belleville center Tyler Graovac as a 16-year-old rookie a season ago. McDavid will receive the trophy at the OHL Awards Ceremony on June 3 at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
Brown could McDavid and Fox at the annual event, since the veteran winger and captain is a finalist for the Red Tilson Trophy as the league's most outstanding player. McDavid also will be the league's nominee for CHL's Sportsman of the Year, which will be announced at the CHL Awards event May 24 in London, Ontario, as part of the Memorial Cup tournament.
"It's a tremendous honor to win this award," McDavid said in a statement. "It's really important to me to be respectful on the ice, and there's a reward for that."

Town Square
School District Overcrowding – how bad is it?
Original post made by yet another parent on Aug 30, 2007
How do we get the BOE and Superintendent Skelly's attention? Somehow I don't think 3 minutes at a Board meeting is going to do it. Why wasn't opening Garland approved, and why was Spanish Immersion recently increased? Neither decision makes any sense under the circumstances. I must be missing something.
on Aug 30, 2007 at 10:35 pm
I do know that El Carmelo, Fairmeadow and Briones over-flowed children. Families have been split to different schools.
on Aug 30, 2007 at 11:51 pm
I have had excellent results when I have sent email letters directly to the school board members. Every member was quick and courteous to reply to my email letter (when the MI program was initially being discussed).
It actually took me several days to compile my data and edit my letter to the board. They were very impressed and wanted to hear more from me.
I should mention that I did receive an "out of office" reply from one member, Camille Townsend. Otherwise, everyone else was very quick to respond and happy to receive my letter.
I am certain that I could not have expressed my views or presented my facts to the board in the alloted three minutes (and in such a tense environment).
Email is definitely the way to go.
Thanks for taking an interest in the overflow problem.
Bravo to all those who take the time to get involved in the community, whether it works or not.
Let's not talk about the MI program anymore. We all know what happened. No need to rehash it again - please.
There are other problems now that need to be addressed.
Good Luck
on Aug 31, 2007 at 7:35 am
Well, unfortunately they've joined us at the hip to the MI program, and when you talk facilities and capacity, you need to have a discussion that includes MI (just ask the AAAG).
So we ALL want to stop talking about MI (sort of like we'd like to stop talking about homelessness, or teen pregnancy, or cancer.) But unfortunately, we have talk about these unsavory subjects, whether we want to or not. Just not prudent to just stop talking about these things just because they make us uncomfortable.

[Bumped. Handy, pocket-sized guide to MSU hockey rooting interests at bottom. -KJ]
As the ice-rink version of March Madness approaches, hockey fans have a much better idea of where their team sits and what their chances of making the tournament are than basketball fans do. The reason? A ranking table called the Pairwise Rankings. Unlike the basketball selection committee, which uses votes by ten members to determine the at-large bids and seeds and allows committee members to weigh various factors differently, the hockey selection procedure is quite rigid. The Pairwise Rankings began as an attempt to mimic the committee's decision-making process and does so quite well - to date, it has predicted the field exactly every year.
After the jump, an explanation of the Pairwise Rankings, their oddities, and what it all means for MSU hockey this year:
The Pairwise Rankings are limited to the top 25 teams in the RPI, known as "Teams Under Consideration". Each TUC is compared directly against the others as follows:
- RPI: Better RPI gets one point.
- Record vs. TUC: Better record gets one point, as long as both teams have played at least 10 games against other TUCs. (Head-to-head matchups are not included here.)
- Common opponents: Better record gets one point. Here there is no minimum number of games, and every game against a common opponent counts even if one team played more games against a particular common opponent than the other.
- Head-to-head: One point for each win over the other team.
Teams are then ranked by the number of comparisons against other teams won; comparisons that are tied go to the team with the better RPI. Teams who have won the same number of comparisons are ranked by RPI as well, although on the bubble head-to-head comparisons may be used to break ties instead. This ranking is used to choose the at-large teams and seed the field 1-16 (swaps within a seed line are common to accommodate home teams or avoid first-round conference matchups, but teams are not moved up or down a seed line unless there is no alternative).
The Pairwise Rankings are notorious for their volatility; Brian at mgoblog wrote a detailed explanation of the flaws three years ago. To summarize:
- Assuming no head-to-head play (or a split of the series), a huge edge in one category can be totally wiped out by losing the other two by a tiny bit. An example: Vermont owns the comparison with St. Cloud State at the moment despite an RPI difference of over .03, thanks to one extra TUC win (8-8-3 instead of 7-8-3) and the lack of a tie in common opponents (2-1-0 to 2-1-1).
- TUC record can fluctuate severely if teams near the cutoff line jump in and out of the RPI top 25. Nebraska-Omaha's sweep of Michigan last weekend dropped the Wolverines out and moved UNO in; as a result, our TUC record changed from 7-6-2 to 5-5-3 without us playing a single game. This can lead to some perverse incentives: in the second round of the CCHA playoffs, which is best of 3, it can sometimes be better to win the series 2-1 than 2-0, particularly if you had a good record against that team in the regular season. If a 2-0 sweep drops them out of the top 25, that record will no longer help you in TUC comparisons, so it may well be worth the RPI hit from a loss to keep those wins in the TUC count. (As it happens, in 2007 there was a scenario on the final day which could have seen us left out of the tournament altogether - but it required us to tie the third-place game. A win or loss meant we were safe, the latter because it would have brought our excellent record against Lake Superior State into play for TUC points.)
- Common opponents puts a massive emphasis on a tiny number of non-conference games. Losses to Minnesota and Wisconsin in the College Hockey Showcase make it much, much harder to win any comparisons against WCHA teams, as the common opponent point is likely lost. (A win over Michigan Tech offsets this partially, but Tech is so bad that we're probably better off not letting WCHA teams count their regular demolitions toward common opponents.) Meanwhile, wins over Rensselaer and Clarkson give us a big edge over ECAC teams in the Pairwise. A split with Maine probably helps against Hockey East, as Maine is near the top of the standings (so most teams will be below .500 against them).
Just this past weekend, with no games of our own to affect the results, we moved from 13th (barely on the good side of the bubble, as there are usually two auto-bids below 16th) to 9th to 11th. At the moment, aside from "win to get our RPI up and pass people that way", some things that would help MSU's chances of reaching the tournament and getting a good seed:
- Sweep Ferris State. With them having the RPI edge and our common opponent edge hanging on by a thread (12-7-5 instead of 12-8-4), we could use the security of two extra points against them. Even 1-0-1 isn't good enough if they flip the common opponents, as RPI would break the tie in their favor.
- Get Michigan back into the top 25. Painful as this may be, we could use the boost of our 3-1 record against them in the TUC category. Even without an RPI move, this could flip our comparisons with New Hampshire and possibly Yale (if they pick up a couple of TUC losses to allow the comparison to count). Similarly, we want to keep Minnesota and our 0-1 record against them out, keep Lake Superior State and Nebraska-Omaha in (1-0-1 against each), and drop Northern Michigan (1-1 split) and Alaska (0-1-1).
- Ideally, we'd like to draw an opponent in the CCHA second round who is safely into the top 25 so we can sweep them without knocking them out. If it's someone farther down, prefer Alaska or NMU so that if we do knock them out, we're knocking out a loss as well as the wins. We do not want Michigan here, as it's possible we'd push them out if we sweep. Best case is to get Michigan to do just enough to stay in.
As the regular season ends and conference tournament play begins, I'll revisit this and look at MSU's rooting interests around the NCAA.

Well I guess its official now. Nebraska to the Big 10. Colorado to the PAC-10 and probably the rest of the Big-12 south soon to follow. Of course none of this is official till 2012 and it might not happen unless 9 out of the 12 schools in the Big 12 agree so that there are no tremendous money losses over the next 2 years by any of these schools. But I think its fair to say that this is just a technicality and whats happened has happened. Done. The Big 12 is through. Time to move on and forget all of our wonderful childhood memories of those classic rivalries of the Big 8. The intimantness of the SWC. How great it was to have the combination of both. Nebraska vs Oklahoma. The Border War between Missouri and Kansas. I will even miss playing Nebraska even though we have killed them of late. And what will happen to Baylor. They have always been the lovable losers. When you play them its almost a guaranteed win, but every week you wish and hope that they can pull off an upset vs the classic powerhouses in Texas and Oklahoma. But now it appears they have no where to go in this new conference order thatsabout to take shape. And how about your Kansas schools. For K-State the Big 12 is what made them along with the glory days of there football program when Bill Snyder didn't have Alzheimer's. For Kansas there basketball program has become the most consistent in the nation throughout there tenure in the Big 12. But you know what I will miss the most? The conference which made Tech into the consistent winner it is today. Which changed the way America played football by introducing the spread offense. That let a pirate captain grow and become everyones favorite personality. If in 20 years we finally become national champs or if it happens in 1 year, the glory days of us beating Texas with the catch, the 70-10 thrashing we laid down on Nebraska, or maybe even the dominance over A&M will be considered the foundation of what started greatness. It certainly is what enabled us to get this invitation to PAC-10. So now I will name some of my favorite memories from our days in the Big 12 in order of relevance for me.
1. "The Catch"
This was the highpoint for me in our days of Big 12 play. Michael Crabtree said that he saw it happen in a vision before the ball was even snapped. Certainly it was a vision from heaven for me. If we hadn't won this game you very well migh've seen a different team considered for PAC 10 exspansionas this was really a coming out party for all affiliated with Texas Tech.
2. 70-10 Nebraska gets CORNPONED
This was the night that as Tech fans we just said no. No to being second class citizens. To being the whooping boys of the classic powerhouse teams. How sweet the sight of an unnecassary blowout curtesy of the Captain. Nebraska fans still have nightmares about this.
As a kid watching great Tech teams in the mid 90's I would always complain about how Tech just never seemed to get any breaks. This was our first big break. 4th and 4 with less than a minute remaining and Danny AMENdola makes a first down grab. But he didn't. After watching the replay it was clear that he didn't make it across the first down marker. Couldnt find a pic of it. Oh well sucks to be Oklahoma in this instance
Well there you have it all my favorite moments of our days in the Big 12. Im sure there are many others that I failed to mention so leave them in comments.
RIP BIG-12. Thanks for the memories, and of course national relevance

1. Which Alex plays better: Ovechkin or Steen?
The two top scorers in the NHL square off on Sunday, and both are coming in red hot. Alexander Steen scored his league-leading 17th goal on Saturday and is scoring on a ridiculous 27 percent of his shots. Ovechkin is right behind him with 15 goals, including another on Friday when the Capitals rallied to beat the Detroit Red Wings. Beating Ovechkin would be another huge statement from Steen.
2. Can the Stars top line continue their road dominance?
After combining for 11 points on Thursday, Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin lead the NHL in points scored on the road with 16 and 17 tallies, respectively. The duo is quickly joining the likes of the most lethal weapons in the game, and rookie Valeri Nichushkin has also played well with them on the top line. The three most talented Stars are clicking right now, and they have a chance to seal a sweep of Western Canada with a win in Vancouver on Sunday.
3. Speaking of sweeps, how about those Kings?
After beating the Devils and Islanders, Los Angeles has a chance to sweep through the metro area with a win at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. The key will be the energy level of Ben Scrivens, who has played the last two games while Jonathan Quick recovers from an injury.
4. Will the Jets and Wild finish without a shootout?
These two squads are no strangers to the penalty shot competition, as both have played in at least five shootouts this year. But the Wild might not want to tangle with the Jets right now. Winnipeg has a sparkling shootout record this season and have won their last three games that ended in a shootout. Minnesota should probably try and end things quickly on Sunday.
5. Will the Chicago Blackhawks bounce back?
Chicago got trounced in a 7-2 loss to the Predators on Saturday, a surprising outcome considering how poorly the Predators have played offensively this year. Truth be told, the Blackhawks were simply putrid in their own zone. They'll have to tighten things up with the Sharks in town on Sunday.

Is Gus Malzhan really a better coach than Gene Chizick?
I'll leave the numbers to smarter people but I will take a stab at name derivations. If you look at wiktionary you have to ask yourself if Malzhan doesn't mean "one tooth". Right? I think so. I think this is irrefutable proof that Malzhan was a quantitatively better hire than ole toothless.

Sounds as though the need of a new school bus driver is imminent!!!!!December 16, 2010 at 12:57 p.m.
School bus drivers' pay is abysmal, especially when we entrust them with the safety of so many children. I don't even think they get benefits.December 16, 2010 at 10:58 a.m.
tnt88- very good point! Also the driver of the truck may not have expected the bus to back up and was not paying attention until it was to late. He was probably to close also. I wish Vic Ad will follow up on this accident. There may be a lawsuit or two filed on this case. I want to know who was in the wrong and how much was paid especially if the city has to pay with tax dollars.December 16, 2010 at 10:51 a.m.
@ Jack when a bus is backing up "a few hundred feet " the bus is going to be moving pretty fast ...December 16, 2010 at 10:45 a.m.
@ tnt88 >>>>The bus just dropped off a kid and usually backs up a few hundred feet to turn around on the highway......
The problem is that the driver of the bus and the school officials need to figure a different route than to back a FEW HUNDRED FEET to a busy hiway . If they dont want to be hit with a big Lawsuit
the school need to ansewer alot of questions ..December 16, 2010 at 10:42 a.m.
The truck was driving down the same road as the bus when the driver saw the bus backing up. He put his truck in reverse, honked, blinked the lights, and could hear the kids screaming for the bus driver to stop. The bus driver never slowed until it hit the truck. If my kid was on the bus, I would have a lot of questions for the bus driverDecember 16, 2010 at 10:27 a.m.
Sounds like the pick up was to close to the back of the bus , out of rear view of the driver.December 16, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.

PRP's former football coach has now been indicted by a Grand Jury because of the accidental death during practice last summer of young Max Gilpin.
It is a really sad situation. Obviously. And how to react is vexing. Gilpin's parents in their grief have dealt with the loss as any caring parents would.
But what about the rest of us?
I give pause to consider this yet again after Andy Wolfson's surprisingly sympathetic profile of the accused coach. (Wolfson is a professional journalist of the highest order with a propensity not to pull any punches.) Stinson played for Howard Schnellenberger, a Bear Bryant disciple, who is known for depriving water to his players during summer drills.
Gilpin died on an egregiously hot summer day. My first question is why PRP was practicing in the afternoon? My only experience is the one year I played jayvee football. During August, we practiced very early in the morning, 7:00 a.m. if memory serves. It sure made sense. Still does.
That said, afternoon is when practice was held. Gilpin willingly participated. Okay, he's a minor. A minor who wanted to be on the team with all the stature that comes with that. But what about his parents? Didn't they give their tacit approval by allowing their son to participate, knowing the weather conditions? Had they been to previous practices to observe Stinson's and his staff's manner of coaching in the heat?
Which of course is no excuse for reckless or negligent behavior by the coaches. "Suck it up and go." That's the phrase I most remember from the experience. That's typical of the manly man attitude that has always pervaded the sport of football. And I played during the era when we were given salt tablets, under the mistaken belief that retaining water in our bodies was the safest way to deal with the heat.
Denying water to build esprit de corps and toughness has always been a way for many coaching regimes. On the other hand, I seem to recall stories about Woody Hayes, the curmudgeonly icon who coached Ohio State until involuntarily being retired after punching a Clemson player himself during a bowl game. Hayes had some players who went on to be doctors. Apparently one or more of them convinced Hayes that providing plenty of water to players during heat was the way to go. And so Hayes did then on, as best I recall. His teams were still plenty damn tough.
I don't know what Stinson's philosophy is or what he put in play during those summer practices. It is reported that a witness or witness heard a coach — not identified as Stinson — say during that fatal practice that the players were going to run until somebody quit the team.
Is that criminal conduct? If so, on whose part? Stinson as head coach, even if it wasn't him who said it, because the buck stops with him. The assistant who allegedly said it, but isn't indicted?
My feeling at this point is that nothing criminal occurred. Is it sad? Indeed. Reckless? Given the football culture, of which all parties were aware, probably not? Stupid? Quite possibly. Worthy of consideration to impose safer guidelines? Absolutely.
At this point, absent evidence I've not yet heard, my opinion is that Jason Stinson is a scapegoat.

OPINION: Lack of information is frustrating
I agree with Dale Duffala however, I think it would really help if it would be made available to the public why the chopper was circling for an hour. Never on the news or in local publications. Just makes it more frustrating.

I took both Bob's Taking Things Apart 2011-2012 and Greece and Italy 2012-2013 and I have never had a better teacher at TESC. Bob is kind, an amazing teacher, and is always understanding. He has a true passion for the subjects he teaches and it shines through in his lectures. Bob is the best!
The best photography teacher I've had, knows his stuff and is extremely gracious. Outside of the darkroom, he lets you put together ideas presented in class for yourself, which I loved. He gets you to think for yourself. Excellent art lectures and hilarious photo demonstrations. Totally great.
Bob is awesome and is the best teacher I have had in a long time. He really knows so much about art, photography and culture. He lectures are interesting and he puts as much effort that you put into the class. Take a class from him and you won't regret it!
Bob Haft is the cat's pajamas. He's the bees knees.
Great teacher.. will teach you to understand art photography.
Bob is a great prof, definitely one of the best at TESC. You'd be missing a lot if you didn't get to take at least 1 program with him.
Bob is maybe one of the nicest people I've ever known. Very smart, very sweet. So enthusiastic about art and its study. He's downright adorable.
Took Discovering Greece w/ Bob in 97/98 and traveled to Greece with him. Great teacher, interested in his students but in a non-pushy and enabling way. Thought he was an excellent professor and genuinely a nice guy.
I LOVE BOB... im starting a fan site
I took American Eye with Bob Fall 07. I had no photography experience, but by the end I was great! He makes sure you understand the work. Great Feed back on papers. He doesn't mess around, so don't joke with him to much.
Bob is one of the greatest instructors Evergreen has to offer. He is smart, concerned with the progress of his students, and genuinely helpful. Evergreen is lucky to have him. He's everything educators should strive to be.
Fine Arts
He was one of my favorite professors at Evergreen.
I had Bob back in Winter '05 for Seeing the Light. While I enjoyed the actual photographic element of the class, I must say that I really despised the books he had us read and some of the films we watched, particularly Camera Obscura, which is one of the worst books I've ever read that was translated from French. Totally incoherent. Despite this, I felt that my ability and skill as a B & W film photographer increased greatly as a result. He's a good prof., although a bit pompous and pretentious.
"Take a Lo
Bob Rocks.
Bob's a great guy to have in seminar, but if your photography style doesn't match his, you will get very little feedback on your prints. His lectures are engaging, though sometimes long-winded.
Bob's great. Take a class with him and you'll never regret it.

When someone in the future starts asking all these impedance questions hopefully all they will have to do is read this to get a clear picture as to wtf is going on.
I know Peter, it's fucking wierd that the "matching game" doesn't apply when you use two cabs! It's some scientific thing. I've also added that question to the guide.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Early in the evening, Pharrell Williams and Daniel Arsham unveiled a joint art project at the penthouse in the East Village's Standard Hotel. Arsham had made a series of casts of an important keyboard—the one that Williams made his first music on, in the late eighties.
One was made of hardened volcanic ash, one of powdered crystal, and one of rusted steel. Arsham had poured in conflicting materials to achieve an eroded effect, giving the instruments the look of remnants from some apocalyptic meltdown. The artist hovered near the glass case that contained them, explaining the idea—"taking something from the recent past and projecting it over the present into the future"—to the likes of Terry Richardson and André Balazs. Meanwhile, guests in the adjacent rooms posed for photos with a fourth keyboard. That one, they were allowed to touch—provided they put white gloves on first. Steps away, Williams kept a crowd of well-wishers and autograph seekers happy.
Mario Sorrenti summed up this season's Purple magazine get-together best: "Where's the dinner?" A smaller affair than usual, this one doubled as an after-party for Proenza Schouler. It went down at Paul's Baby Grand, a surprisingly genteel new club in Tribeca from Paul Sevigny, where waiters in bow ties passed around trays of finger food and strawberry-garnished cocktails.
Paul's is, for a certain crowd, the hot new place. Robert Longo offered some perspective on that. "Hot new places don't mean anything to me anymore. They mean soon-to-be-not-hot new places," the artist said, before recalling memories of raucous times in the eighties at The Odeon just down the street. "I spent a couple nights there in the basement. You go down to the bathrooms and there's a broom closet where you'd go in and do drugs and stuff like that, or fuck. Or sleep."
Jack McCullough could use some of that (the sleep, that is). He and partner Lazaro Hernandez had moved their show from their usual evening slot to noon, and paid a few consequences. "We wanted natural daylight, just to switch up the palette a little bit—but it's hard. That last night is a killer."
The bigger, later Purple party at the Boom Boom Room coincided with one that André Saraiva was throwing next door at Le Bain. Traffic flowed freely between the two spaces; Leonardo DiCaprio rolled in a little after midnight. But the wilder bash may have been over at the Hudson, where M.I.A. , A$AP Rocky, and legions of the designer's devoted fans showed their support for Jeremy Scott.

Questions, not corrections; support in place of criticism; and understanding above evaluation. The Peter J. Benelli Writing Center seeks to foster a cross-curricular, whole-school approach to writing as a process and strives to celebrate the endeavor for all students.

In 1958, Peter Benelli started teaching English at Thayer, and in 1967, he became headmaster. During his 33 years at Thayer, Mr. Benelli was esteemed for his writing skills because of the many letters and notes he wrote to former students and their families. It is therefore more than fitting that Mr. Benelli's legacy at Thayer Academy should be the Writing Center - dedicated to the craft in which he has taken such a keen interest.

There are as many as 300 puppy mills in North Carolina. That's according to animal rights groups.Lawmakers in Raleigh are hoping to clean them up. The House passed a bi-partisan "Dog Breeding Standards Bill". It regulates breeders with 10 or more breeding dogs. This bill would require them to have food, water, clean bedding and veterinary care. If not, the breeders could face a misdemeanor charge. Animal rights advocates said, since our state doesn't regulate breeders, it's become a hot spot for puppy mills."Law enforcement has to wait until the animals are in dire need before they can act. That's why we need these specifications to make it easier to police the bad actors," said Rep. Jason Saine, primary bill sponsor, Republican.North Carolina's first lady Ann McCrory, who usually keeps a low profile, has thrown her support behind the bill. She even made an appearance Thursday, watching as the bill passed 100 to 15.

About me
I am developing a new (2012) imprint of John Hunt Publishing, called Top Hat Books. I'm a lifelong fan of historical fiction and a freelance writer of short fiction and non-fiction, and hope to publish a broad range of historical fiction from around the world.
I'm also a historical re-enactor, and a Managing Editor for a US ebook company.

From my website
There has been a draft in my blog's dashboard for about half a year. It's called "saying no" and it's languishing there, never quite ready to be published. Saying no to work is hard. Saying goodbye is also hard. It's a time of endings and a time of assessing what…
Social Media – Worth The Hassle?
I've been thinking about promotion, marketing and publicity a lot over the past month. I've talked about it before, and how some authors get a little defensive when you speak of targeting an audience. This time, I'm thinking about how I find and connect with my audience. I see a…
It's been a busy few weeks and things have occasionally got a little overwhelming. I have a week-to-view diary and I write deadlines in here, and gradually each day fills up with a to-do list around it. It's become a mass of scribbles and I was feeling panicked every time…

The documentary's official title is Jamie Foxx Presents Thunder Soul, but Foxx doesn't appear in the film.
Ruling In The Realm of Student Musicians
Under the tutelage of Prof Johnson, they strayed away from the prevalent big band sound and introduced popular tunes -- funk -- into their repertoire, along with original pieces composed for them by Prof. Their sound was unique. Additionally, they choreographed their performances with smooth moves that left audiences in awe. Everywhere they performed -- including Texas-funded tours through Europe and to Japan -- they attracted a huge and loyal following. They even recorded and released a record, Texas Thunder Soul, which is now, in re-release, a huge hit and collector's item.
The successes of Kashmere High School Band inpsired other student groups - ranging from basketball to debate - to excell and boosted pride throughout the entire community.
Band members were treated like rock stars, but Prof kept a tight reign on them, demanding discipline and their continued hard work and achievement - not only in music, but in other aspects of their lives, as well. One former student comments that Prof taught him not only how to play music, but how to be a man. Needless to say, all of the young band members adored the teacher who inspired them to learn and built their self confidence by insisting that they achieve.
As Time Goes By
Fast forward to 2008. Former Kashmere band members, now in their 50s, reassemble to honor Prof, now 92, with a concert of the music they played way back when. Many band members hadn't handled their instruments since graduation, but they're determined to get back into the swing - or funk. It ain't easy. One horn player confides with good humor that she nearly passed out on her first blow. But she and her peers persist, and under a baton wielded by a former student who's now a musician, and with prayers lead by another who's now a preacher, the ensemble plays a brilliant, heartfelt concert for Prof.
Filmmaker Mark Landsman embraces his cast with warmth and captures their humor. His use of archival photos, news footage and assorted vintage movie clips sets historical context, but it's current on camera interviews with Prof and testimonials from his players mixed with footage of the reassembled band in rehearsal and performance, that's so moving, so joyful and inspiring, such a pleaser for crowds of all ages, for people in all seasons of life. Thunder Soul may play prelude to a narrative feature - a la Mr. Holland's Opus, say - but it's questionable whether another film could deliver the authentic emotional impact of this original.

Ok so I have this 1980 trans am that has a chevy 350 in it. I have no intention of rebuilding it since im a pontiac guy. So im thinking about selling it so here goes my story. I got this car 10 years ago. It never ran when we got it so we never looked at it due to the fact we would be doing a motor swap so my friend wants it im thinking should I just give it to him as a gift or sell it. But it doesnt run so what would it be worth? Is it just the scrap value? Thank you for your info and im not bashing chevy I just grew up with pontiacs as I guess you did with chevys.
Are you sure the 350 Chevy engine didn't come in it. That was time when the emission laws were going crazy and GM was doing those engine swaps. Make sure the Vin.# is for a Pontiac Engine. If it is the numbers matching engine put it somewhere for a later date.Can you turn thr engine by hand. If the engine hasn't spun a bearing, and it's a 4 bolt block. Its probably worth $50.00.If you take it to the junk yard they wouldn't give you anything for it. It's scrape to them....Bob AKA pepsi1
iT COULD ALSO BE A 305.I have a friend with an 81 Z28 and its a 305 ( last I looked that car had 5 miles on it... really!
The Pontiac firebird and Ta's never came factory with a chevrolet 350 only a 305.
Professional Hi-performance engine builder
Yes! It is a 305 my apologies. I have yet to open the hood of the car. Waiting until spring to begin restoreing it and I can not wait to do it. But yes so what does a chevy 305 motor that does not run and that has been sitting for ten plus years go for? I was thinking if I scrapped it a penny a pound or so I would get like ten bucks so I may just give it to my friend and I will not keep it since im puting a 455 in it and I am using a different title to convert it to a 76 and not keep it an original 80 trans am.
Do you and your friend a favor and scrap the motor.
craigslist, $100.oo, no warranty.
Sense it is a 305 you would be lucky to give it away.
Professional Hi-performance engine builder
Friend If you Have the Title for the 80 you had best leave it as an 80. not knowing your EXACT situation at least the 80 is worth more. PS although you may Have the BEST of Intentions If you change the title(VIN) from one car to another they are going to give you a Salvage title Back. and Salvage is Just that in the resale world.
Here is an opinion, get caught using one vin on another car = go to jail. There is a reason it's illegal. AUTO THEFT.
+1I would NOT! tamper with a VIN #
When The Flag Drops.,. The Bull ***t Stops.,. P. Engineer, Engine Builder
Alright well... I will not be reselling it ever. And if I were to switch it with a car I own would it still be illgeal?
Professional Hi-performance engine builder
YES! Unless you can get valid documentation from MV, then what you are about to do, is illegal.

I remember before the procedure the office nurse taking off my eye glasses saying "you won't need these again". Much to my disappointment, still haven't taken my glasses off. "
Routine two year follow up that had to be rescheduled because of some new issues. Very limited waiting time and much of the exam was done by a technician ("which one is better, #1 or #2) which I was fine with. Dr. O did all the inspection of the internal eye herself. Very limited waiting time for her as well. The exam was quick, efficient and she was good about answering questions. I never felt rushed. "
Dr. Baziz was thorough, patient and friendly. He did a wonderful job setting my son at ease, and introducing contact lens wear and care."
Doctor out how I was doing and about my surgery. The reason I only rated her a B on punctuality is because she's not the type of doctor who limits your visit to 15 or 20 minutes. Doctor "
I went in for an annual eye exam. I was seen by two residents - which I do not have an issue with because everyone has to learn. What I did have an issue with is the way the doctor (Dr with my migraine headaches or if it was with my eyes. Who goes to the eye doctor for migraines?? And why is my condition being discussed where everyone can hear it? I guess they thought I was an idiot or something. I didn't care for the experience and probably would ask to be seen by another doctor."
Dr doctor to getting me approved for coverage even though she was out-of-network. She even had new contacts to me in just a few days. While I waited for my new contacts, she gave me a trial pair to tide me over. This was just my first encounter with Dr "
I use Dr is quite personable and skilled, answers all my questions in detail and willing to spend whatever time I need to feel satisfied that I'm informed. I never feel rushed. Her staff is nice too. "
I was referred by my primary care physician. The visit was long as I had needs that required different drops (waiting to work), photographs etc. I saw a lovely physician named Dr. helpful and kept everything running smoothly (and that was with 1 staff member out ill). I was very pleased and would recommend Dr. "
Office staff was friendly and professional. I was able to get in much more quickly than other retina specialists I'd tried. They did a details scan of my retina, discussed potential causes, treatments, and side effects. I returned the next day for a shot - they are not allowed to keep the medication in their office. I've returned twice for additional shots. My vision improves after each shot. The doctors and staff are all friendly and professional, clearly informing me about my condition, procedures, etc.

Evaluation of the Health Foundation's Safer Patient Network
Annette Lankshear and Karin Lowson of the York Health Economics Consortium have been awarded £400k over three years by the Health Foundation to evaluate the Safer Patient Network. The aim of the study is to determine to what extent the Safer Patient Network has transformed the Safer Patient's Initiative from a successful collaborative to a self-sustaining, member driven network committed to continually improving patient safety within the member organisations and beyond.
It seeks to describe and document the story of the Safer Patient's Network; observe and reflect on its emergent nature and properties and to understand the extent to which the SPN has mobilised learning across boundaries and embedded a culture of learning, both within and outside of member organisations.
The report is now available: Safer Patients Network Evaluation

Water distress aired at forum
San Angelo plans projects amid drought
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Water worries immediate and future were on the minds of about 200 San Angeloans who attended a city-sponsored forum.
Their worries included the prospect of drinking radium with their tap water, the effect on businesses as water use rules become more restrictive, and the increasing cost of water as rates go up to discourage use.
Just under 200 people turned out Thursday night for the forum, hosted by the city's Water Utilities Department, to try to understand San Angelo's water situation and to voice their questions and concerns.
Water Utilities Director Will Wilde opened the evening with a presentation outlining how the department aims to meet the water needs of the city as San Angelo approaches the point at which it has less than a 12-month water supply. That point is expected sometime in October.
A 12-month water supply automatically triggers the water conservation regimen known as drought level 3, but the department said it won't wait for that to happen — it intends to expedite the process by urging the City Council to making level 3 effective Sept. 19.
Wilde examined the water demands of the city, which is using about 18 million to 20 million gallons per day, of which 60 percent is for residential use and 18 percent is for commercial use. He gave tips on how users can save water and explained how the city is making efforts to improve the infrastructure and replace the old water mains to reduce water loss through breaks and leaks.
Wilde then went on to address the issue that has been in the forefront of everyone's mind: What if it the city doesn't get significant runoff to restore water levels in reservoirs which are its sole source of drinking water? He spoke about the Hickory Aquifer project, which will enable 6 million gallons of underground water per day to be pumped from well fields in McCulloch County to San Angelo.
The project is expected to be supplying water to the city by July 2013, and further expansion will allow it to pump up to 10.7 million gallons per day by early 2014.
One of the main concerns about the Hickory Aquifer water is that it is surrounded by a granite formation hosting high levels of radium, a carcinogen.
Wilde explained that the department had selected an ion exchange method of treating the Hickory water, in which the water is passed through a charged medium that will reduce the radium content.
One of the main concerns expressed at the forum is that the water treatment facility will not be complete until July 2014.
The radium content in the Hickory Aquifer is 35 picocuries per liter, while the Environmental Protection Agency sets a limit of 5 picocuries for safe consumption.
Until the treatment facility is running, the department said, it will blend the Hickory water with existing water supplies from O.H. Ivie and Twin Buttes reservoirs to meet the EPA requirements by diluting the radium content.
One resident was concerned about what would happen if there was not enough reservoir water to blend with the Hickory water.
Interim City Manager Michael Dane said the department will try its best to meet the EPA requirements, "But if we don't have water to blend, that's what we'll be drinking."
Dane noted that radium increases the likelihood of cancer by a factor of one in 10,000 after long-term exposure.
Joseph Grimes, the chairman of Keep San Angelo Beautiful, who also is a landscaper, said that the council should push back the drought level 3 ordinance to avoid the possible impact it will have on local businesses that rely on water use.
"We are all going to suffer. ... There's no question about that," Grimes said. Other business owners echoed Grimes' concerns.
"The council has been very sensitive of that. ... We are seeing the economic impact of running out of water," Dane said.
Once drought level 3 is in effect, carwashes will not be permitted to operate, and golf courses will not be able to water their greens.
Those who want exemption from drought ordinances can apply for variances with the Water Utilities Department.
Billie DeWitt expressed concern for the additional fees for householders that will be added during drought level 3. Dane said the fees are "an effort to dissuade people from using as much water. ... And it works." For example, single-family residential accounts will be charged an additional $6 per 1,000 gallons once the residents have used more than 10,000 gallons in a billing period.
Dane also said that the city is making efforts to educate people — particularly children — on water conservation.
Dane said the department is spending about $40,000 per year on a contract for an organization to educate residents on what they can do.
Looking into the future for alternatives, Wilde said that while Texas does not have established standards for direct water reclamation from sewage, the city is looking into nonpotable uses, including for plants and sports complexes. "We are looking into it for the near future," Wilde said.
Public information officer Anthony Wilson said he was pleased with the turnout and the response. "There were lots of insightful questions; they were respectful. ... This was San Angelo at its best," Wilson said.
He also said members of the City Council and other officials do not feel that they are exempt from these regulations. "We understand ... we have to help set the example," Wilson said.
Alvin and Marilyn Wankowski have lived in San Angelo since the 1960s and attended the Thursday night forum.
They said they have been through several dry spells here. "You just learn to accommodate. ... I think for some of our younger residents ... it's a new experience for them," Marilyn Wankowski said.

Police appeal over serious crash in Hereford
Updated 3:48pm Sunday 27th April 2014 in News By Ian Craig
POLICE are appealing for anyone with information that may help them investigate the circumstances which led up to a serious crash in Hereford yesterday afternoon to contact them.
