Brief Abstract
A study of students in distance education classes at Southwest Virginia Community College during the summer of 1996 revealed that field dependent and field independent cognitive styles were not significantly related to the successful completion of courses.
Knowledge about student success is important to Southwest Virginia Community College (SwVCC) and to other community colleges offering distance education classes. If the purpose of distance education courses is to offer students an alternative form of receiving an education, then knowledge about who succeeds is useful information. James and Gardner (1995) comment that, Distance learning provides a needed alternative for many adult students, but attention to individual differences, as currently practiced, is less than desirable (p. 29). This article presents information on 154 distance education students at SwVCC who were enrolled in one of the 27 different courses. The distance education telecourses were asynchronous in that the students had limited opportunities to interact in a face-to-face situation with the instructor or other students. Other information is included to explain distance education, psychological variables associated with distance education, components of the study, findings, and implications of the research.
Distance Education
Distance education is not a new phenomenon in American education. Correspondence courses have been in existence for over one hundred years. What is different is the use of technology to deliver college-level courses to students who are separated from the teacher. Asynchronous forms of education do not require the student and teacher to be time and space bound (Cartwight, 1994). This type of distance education, correspondence courses which utilize technology, is the fastest-growing instructional pattern in the world (Hall, 1990, p. 48).
Distance education is defined as a situation in which a teacher and student are physically separated but communicating through the completion of assignments (Rumble, 1989). Communication can occur through the postal service or through some form of technology, such as telephone, electronic communication, or television or radio connections. In distance learning courses the student receives a package that defines the course and its objectives and provides the assignments that must be completed (Kember, Lai, Murphy, Siaw, & Yuen, 1994). The package usually consists of both written materials and videos. In fact, Wilkinson and Sherman (1991) discovered that video based technology is the most common form of distance education. In these courses, referred to as telecourses, the student views the taped lectures when it is personally convenient. Benson and Hirschen (1987) report that using technology has given educational institutions new boundaries for reaching students.
Technology has impacted how students respond to alternative forms of education. Moore (1991) uses the term transactional distance to refer to the psychological and communication gap that exists between teachers and students in distance education. In telecourses, the focus of this study, the transactional distance is extended because the student, who has limited contact with the teacher, has limited ability to structure the course. Using the package of written materials and taped videos, the student is the passive recipient of pre-constructed educational materials.
Psychological Aspects of Distance Education
Researchers of the psychological impact of distance education have investigated the age of the students (traditional vs nontraditional), their gender, the learner-technology interface, delivery methods, personality, affective variables, course satisfaction, anxiety, learning styles, and other aspects. Ehrmans 1990 study reported an advantage for extroverts, intuitives, thinkers, and judgers (from the Myers-Briggs typology) in completing self-directed learning tasks. Ehrman suggests that knowledge about learning styles will enable students or counselors to better understand the learners stages of cognitive and psychological readiness for distance education courses that are self-directed. Schuemer (1993) adds that the distance learner has to have the psychological will power to direct the learning process.
The study of cognitive or learning styles is an area of research that supports the psychological implications for learners. Over 7,000 citations are listed regarding learning styles and cognitive styles (Frazier, 1991). Numerous definitions of cognitive style are available, but Merriam and Caffarellas (1991) definition is the most encompassing. They state that cognitive styles are characterized as consistencies in information processing that develop in concert with underlying personality trends (p. 175). Witkin, Moore, Goodenough, and Cox (1977) add that cognitive style includes ones perceptual and intellectual capabilities. Gee (1990) comments that more research should be conducted to understand the effectiveness of traditional distance education telecourses with students who have varying learning styles.
The cognitive style analysis of the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) that resulted from research by Witkin et al. (1977) is a viable method of determining cognitive or learning styles. Viability of this test is enhanced with distance-education telecourse students because it takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The GEFT determines if a person is field dependent or field independent. This is a useful tool for distance educators because the field dependent person is more oriented towards social activities. He or she likes to be around other people, whereas the field independent person prefers more solitary activities. It would follow that the more field independent person would be more successful in distance education telecourses because no social activities are involved. The field dependents cognitive style of social needs would make them more likely to find telecourses difficult to complete.
Distance Education in Virginia
Investigation of the telecourse students cognitive style is important considering the tremendous growth in distance education in Virginia. The Directory of Distance Education and Telecommunications Options in the Virginia Community College System (1995) states that 20 of the 23 community colleges offer a total of 325 distance education classes that account for 18,000 credit course enrollments per year (p. 1). At Southwest Virginia Community College alone, over 25 distance education telecourses are offered each semester.
The distance education program at SwVCC was created to serve citizens who were not currently being served; the basic assumption was that a significant portion of the population is best served by alternative instructional methods (Policy and Procedures Manual, Southwest Virginia Community College, 1995, p. I). Our students must meet the following requirements before registering for a telecourse. First, the student must be eligible to take English 111 (Freshman Composition I) by achieving an acceptable score on the preliminary test required by SwVCC. If a student has taken English 111, the grade must be a C or better. Second, the student must have a minimum of a 2.5 GPA. And finally, the student must have permission from an advisor or counselor along with approval from the appropriate division chair to enroll in a telecourse (Policy and Procedures Manual, p. 15 - 16). No cognitive analysis or psychological profile is required before registering for a distance education course.
SwVCC students register for a distance education class using the same procedure used for registration in any other course. However, after registration, the student receives a course package from the Audio-Visual and Distance Education Services (AV & DES) office. During the course, the student returns assignments, views videos, and takes exams through the AV & DES office. Faculty are sent the assignments for grading, and then the AV & DES office returns them to the student. Upon completion of the course, the faculty member responsible for the course assigns a grade and processes the proper forms as in a traditional course.
The Study
The question asked in this research project was the following: Are field independent students in asynchronous distance education telecourses more successful than field dependent students? The study was designed to investigate the cognitive (or learning) styles of students who registered for distance education telecourses at SwVCC to determine why some students achieve and others do not. Little research has been located that investigates learning styles of students in asynchronous distance education telecourses.
The researched students were investigated as a group without regard to the subject matter of the course. No comparisons were made between telecourse students and the students who took a course in a traditional classroom. Because the researcher investigated distance education students, regardless of the course content, information is presented on students from a holistic perspective without becoming mired in a discussion of subject matter issues.
The study grouped students into two categories, field independent and field dependent. The researcher sought to identify which student category was more successful by correlating the achievement scores of students to their field independent-dependent classification from the GEFT. Success was determined by a grade of C or better in the telecourse. Unsuccessful students were those who received a D or less, withdrew, or received an incomplete grade in the course. Since research indicates that students who are field independent prefer to work alone and are more self motivated than are the field dependent students (Witkin et al., 1977), it was assumed that students who receive instruction in a separated situation and who must contend with the transactional distance were more likely to achieve success in the course if they were field independent.
The population being studied was composed of all students enrolled for distance education telecourses during the first two weeks of the 1996 summer semester at SwVCC. Of the 318 students who were enrolled, the sample consisted of 154 (47%) students who volunteered to take the GEFT. Students in this sample included all who came to the distance education office to obtain course materials. These students received two letters and a phone call and were encouraged by distance education office staff to take the GEFT.
The total number of summer 1996 distance education students who took the GEFT by their division were Business, 24 (15.6%); Math and Science, 55 (35.7%); Humanities and Social Science, 55 (35.7%); and Engineering, 13 (8.4%). The other group had 7 (4.5%) students. The students in this study represented all the curriculum areas of SwVCC.
Group Embedded Figures Test
The GEFT consists of tracing figures in the test booklet. The subjects were given two minutes for the first section to complete seven problems. The next two sections take five minutes each to answer 18 questions. The GEFT score has a range of 0 to 18 (Goodstein, 1978). Kepner and Neimark (1984) classified field dependent persons as those with scores of 0 to 9 (p. 1408). The students with scores 10 to 18 were classified as field independent. The dichotomized process resulted in 40 (25.9%) of the students as field independent and 114 (74.1%) as field dependent. Research has indicated that the majority of people are more likely to be field dependent.
Mean Age
The entire population had a mean age of 28.6 years. The traditional aged students (n=64) had a mean age of 20.2 years, and the nontraditional students (n=90) had a mean age of 32.9 years. The field dependent students had a mean age of 29.4, making them slightly older than the field independent students who had a mean age of 26.3. However, the mean age for both field independent and dependent students was in the nontraditional category. The successful and nonsuccessful students were also in the nontraditional category with a mean age of 28 years.
The distance education research group (DERG) included 116 (75.3%) females and 38 (24.7%) males. Students in the DERG were similar to students enrolled in other distance education classes (DET) at the college. SwVCC had a total of 2153 students in the unduplicated head count report for summer semester of 1996; of these, 813 were male students constituting 37.7% of the total population. The two distance education groups had slightly smaller percentages of males. The DET groups had 90 (26.7%) males, and DERG had 38 (24.7%). The DET female participation rate was slightly higher than the female rate for all SwVCC students. SwVCC female participation was 1340 (64.2%), whereas DET females equaled 247 (73.3%) with DERG having 116 (75.3%) females.
Success - Nonsuccess
As noted earlier, students were classified as successful if they received a grade of C or better in a distance education class; 104 (67.5%) were in this category. Students were classified as nonsuccessful if they received a D or less, an incomplete, or withdrew from the course; 50 (32.5%) were in this category. The percentage of DET students who were successful or nonsuccessful was similar for the students in the research group: DET, 62.5 % successful, and DERG, 67.5% successful. These data support the contention that the members of the research group were similar to the total group of distance education students.
The question posed in this study involved comparing the success-nonsuccess rates of field independent and field dependent students in asynchronous distance education courses. The study tested for significant differences among the variables of gender, age, and achievement for distance education students. SPSS software was used to analyze the variables using the Chi-square test for nominal data. Results of the analysis indicate that students in asynchronous distance education courses who were either field independent or field dependent had no significant differences in their success or nonsuccess in course completion. Females were more likely to be field dependent (80.2%). The traditional age female students were found to be significantly field dependent; however, nontraditional age females were equally field independent and field dependent. This is consistent with Sorensen and Robinson (1992) who found younger female college students had a different psychological type than did nontraditional females. There was no statistical difference between males: 55.3% were field dependent and 44.7% were field independent.
This is an important finding because field dependent people (Witkin, et al) prefer activities that require involvement with others. Asynchronous distance education courses are devoid of those experiences. Thus, females, who were the largest group of students taking distance education courses at SwVCC, were more likely to be field dependent. It would seem they would have more difficulties successfully completing asynchronous courses. However, the females field dependent rating did not impact their success in asynchronous distance education courses.
No matter how the age variable was analyzed, no significant difference among the groups existed, except that traditional aged females were more likely to be field dependent. When traditional and nontraditional aged students were grouped together, the significant differences in GEFT classification were no longer significant. Age was not a major factor when investigating the students GEFT classification.
On the whole, the data of this study indicate achievement rates were not related to the gender, age (traditional - nontraditional), or field independent-dependent ranking of the students.
Although Beaudoin (1990) indicated that some students have levels of cognitive readiness for distance education classes and Gee (1990) states that learning style impacts achievement, the analysis presented here demonstrated that students who are field independent and field dependent displayed no significant differences in their achievement rates. Distance education courses should continue to be offered to field independent and field dependent students. Researchers concerned about the changing age of students taking distance education courses (Carl, 1991) should see the studys results as support for offering asynchronous distance courses to diverse students.
Further studies like this one should be conducted at other community colleges to determine the impact of cognitive style. Other types of cognitive typing instruments could be employed to classify students, although researchers should be cautioned that distance education students are a difficult group to study because they are usually separated from day-to-day contact with the institution. It would be extremely interesting to conduct a qualitative study of distance education students to determine what the methods students use to successfully complete asynchronous courses.

Italy: Prodi's Cabinet Proposal and Politics as Usual
Following Italian Prime Minister-designate Romano Prodi's announcement of
his proposed list of Cabinet ministers May 17, members of his coalition
began voicing their dissatisfaction. Emma Bonino of the Radical party, who
was seeking the position of defense minister, was refused and given the
post of minister without a portfolio. The Italian Radical Party now finds
itself in the unique position of being the pivot that could bring about
fresh elections for Italy.
Italian Prime Minister-designate Romano Prodi submitted his proposed list
of Cabinet candidates to the Italian president May 17. Already there is
dissention among the ranks of Prodi's coalition; Radical party leader Emma
Bonino announced her dissatisfaction with the proposed Cabinet and said
that her party would now have to decide whether or not to remain with the
governing alliance. With such a slim advantage in the Senate, even one
dissatisfied senator -- much less a dissatisfied party -- leaving the
coalition could spell the end of Prodi's term.
Prodi's Cabinet proposals have placed members of his Democrats of the Left
party as heads of the Foreign Ministry, Labor Ministry and Health
Ministry. The second largest party in his Union coalition, the Margherita
(Daisy) party, received the posts of culture minister, defense minister
and education minister. Other key positions, such as interior minister and
justice minister, were given to members of the Italian Socialist Party and
the Democratic Union for Europe (UDEUR). Prodi chose the unaffiliated
former European Central Bank executive Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa to head the
Finance Ministry. Despite the party politics, officials across the
coalition agree that Padoa-Schioppa is right man to help reduce Italy's
substantial debt and help its lagging economy recover.
The carefully crafted list has managed to anger members of other parties
in the coalition that failed to secure a ministry. Bonino was left without
a position after a row began between her and Clemente Mastella of UDEUR
over the post of defense minister. The post was instead given to Arturo
Parisi of the Daisy party, with Mastella receiving the Justice Ministry.
Bonino was given a minister post without a portfolio, meaning that while
she may sit in on Cabinet-level meetings she is not responsible for any
specific department. Her party is now reviewing its future with the
Prodi-led coalition, and unless placated the Radical party likely will
The Radical party are partners with Italian Democratic Socialists in the
larger Rose in the Fist party, which controls 18 seats in Italy's Chamber
of Deputies (the lower house) but does not have any seats in the Senate.
While Prodi's coalition enjoys a 63-seat majority in the lower house, the
loss of Bonino's party will hurt -- but not incapacitate -- the new
government. However, it would be the first crack in the government. If
Prodi's coalition loses those seats, the Communist Refoundation Party,
which has remained an unsteady partner throughout the entire process, will
not only control the vote in the Senate but would also have enough votes
to bring Prodi's advantage in the Chamber of Deputies down to a mere two
votes. Should Bonino's party separate from Prodi's Union coalition, Prodi
will find himself facing a Communist Refoundation Party with the ability
to effectively deadlock at every step of the process any decision it does
not like.
There are several possible outcomes to this scenario, ranging from
annoying to debilitating for the Italian government. The first is that the
Radical party will give up their expectations and resign themselves to the
post they have been assigned. This is Italian politics, however, and the
party's name alone suggests it would not adopt such a strategy.
Another option opened to the Radicals is to leave the alliance altogether,
either before or after the vote of confidence. Should they decide quickly
and leave prior to the vote, Italy is likely to face a second election
within a few short months. Should the Radicals leave after the vote, they
will give the Communist Refoundation Party the advantage. Neither holds
bright prospects for the fresh government.
The last, and most likely, choice of action for the Radicals is to wait
for some form of appeasement from Prodi before making any move, meaning
that they probably will wait through the vote of confidence. The
government that would result from this would have to cater to the Radical
party and Communist Refoundation Party in order to survive.
Prodi is highly unlikely to play to those two left-wing parties for long,
leaving them to make good on their threats and leave the coalition once
they determine that membership holds no further benefit. After all,
similar developments were responsible for the downfall of the government
the last several times the left ruled.

The Changing Role of Religion in the Workplace: Workplace Religious Freedom Act May Be the Next Civil Rights Law
We have covered religion in the workplace from time to time here, including this recent posting.
Now, the Workplace Religious Freedom Act is gaining momentum. This bill would require companies to "to prove that allowing religious expression on the job entails significant difficulty or expense."
In greater detail, this bill:
Amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to modify the definition of "religion" for purposes of coverage under that Act by requiring employers to make an affirmative and bona fide effort to reasonably accommodate the religious practices of employees. Defines the term "perform the essential functions" to exclude practices having a temporary or tangential impact on an employee's ability to perform job functions, such as practices relating to clothing or taking time off work. Sets forth factors to consider in determining whether an accommodation causes undue hardship. Defines "employee" to require an ability to perform essential job functions with or without reasonable accommodation.
Without this bill, employees have a more difficult time taking off for religious holidays. The bill may make it easier for a pharmacist to refuse to dispense morning-after pills when doing so conflicts with her religion. One can imagine all kinds of interesting cases that could come up, but the new conservative Supreme Court may be more willing to support plaintiffs on this issue!
The bill, although considered unlikely to pass this year, has been gaining momentum. Not surprisingly, companies are much more wary of the bill and its effects on their business. Read a well-written article here; more information on bill itself can be found here.

Hi! I am searching for a new double convection wall oven. I currently have a kitchenaid 27". I am looking to get 30". I have been a kitchenaid fan for years but this oven has given me such problems that I am looking at other brands. I cannot afford wolf or meile. According to reviews I have read not such great things on Jennair. Any opinions on GE Profile or Monogram? Does anyone have the electrolux ovens?? Any help is appreciated :) Thanks so much!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Supermom. I bought the Jenn Air double convection oven (with double fan). I also went with Jenn Air for the microwave, cooktop, fridge, and dishwasher. They won't be installed until late May or so. I wanted an American made product so wanted to go the Whirlpool, Maytag, Kitchen Aid, Jenn Air route. A dear friend of mine has her original Jenn Air convection oven. It is 25 years old and still going strong and she just bought the Jenn Air refrigerator. The same model as I am getting. I sure hope that the Jenn Air quality has remained high. It is so hard to know what to buy but my salesman told me that Jenn Air has great customer service (however he is a salesman). He also said that any appliance can have issues but service after the sale is key and he convinced me that I wouldn't be going wrong with my choice. The GE Cafe and GE Profile were also on my list and I think GE is a very reliable brand. The Cafe looks more like the Jenn Air Pro Series and the GE Profile looks more like the Jenn Air Euro series. The difference is basically the handle and glass style. I Liked the Elex that I looked at and the one review that I read on it was excellent. I think the fan, at least on the model that I looked at, cut down on the oven space. The interior of that model was a bright blue and the Jenn Air and GE's are black. Good luck with your choice. I really agonized over the decision as the appliances get used a lot and they are quite an expense! |

I bought the Electrolux 30 inch, double convection. I could not be happier. I spent over a year doing my research. It is an awesome oven. |
Hey Supermom - I'm looking at the Electrolux ovens too...and fridge for that matter. Reviews have been good from what I've seen. You may want to search on the Appliance forum - lots of good info there. |
- Posted by Supermom74 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 7, 13 at 18:08
Thanks for all of the great suggestions. The search continues and i will post in the appliance forum too as suggested. BTW, I looked at the Electrolux today and they look very nice but I read that the interior is smaller (4.2 cubic ft vs 4.4) Due to the fans. So, the interior is actually smaller. Just an FYI!!! |
I also chose the Electrolux Icon double convection ovens after lots of research. They are sitting in my dining room waiting for installation as reno proceeds. When I took delivery and read the user manual I fell in love with them all over again. Great reviews, even temps, reliable, glide out racks top and bottom, programmable for multi-stage dishes, pretty blue interiors, and they also each work as a dehydrator. |
I got the double Elux with Wave touch, non-Icon. Love it. Would love it more if it had french doors, but that is my only complaint. It is plenty big inside for my largest cookie sheet and my turkey roasting pan. |

A Li'l Bit of Heaven log cabin is located in the Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana near Highway 93 just 8-1/2 miles north of the Montana Idaho border.

If you are arriving from the north, we are 24 miles south of Darby. About 1/2 mile past the 9 mile marker, you will see our sign on the gate to turn to your right ( or west). The driveway is at the crest of the hill, so watch closely for it. The road comes directly to the main house. Please stop here and we will escort your up to Li'l Bit.

Depression Raises Risk of Diabetes
Researchers reporting in the Archives of Internal Medicine have found that depression is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in people over 65 years of age.
Data was gathered on almost 4,700 people who were not diabetic at the outset of the study in 1989. Over ten years, during which 234 of them developed diabetes, they were evaluated for symptoms of depression. After correcting for other factors, diabetes was about 60 percent more likely among those who had higher levels of depressive symptoms.
The cause of the association was not clarified, but lead researcher Mercedes Carnethon of Northwestern University hypothesized that depressed people are less likely to care for their health in general.
Biological factors such a high level of the stress hormone cortisol could contribute as well, because high cortisol levels may cut insulin sensitivity and cause increased fat deposits around the waist.

So, I've been kinda flirting with this guy. Accidentally, at least at first. It's really weird. NEW TERRITORY CAPTAIN. TAKE CAUTION.
This really didn't warrant an entire entry, but I have 30+ pages of reading that I am not interested in doing.
Caution? Wise idea. Afterall, you wouldn't want to sink your ship or anything.......you know, like some captains do
Quite a pickle your in.... Sorry to say but I can't really help out with this..... I'm new to it myself.....

Good Quality & Comfortable

About Me Comfort Driven
Comments about Non-Run Support Knee Hi by National®:
I brought these for my mother who is 85 and she absolutely loved them. They hold up well and they do not run. I have washed these in the washer machine and let them drip dry and the quality is the same before washing.
More comfortable than most
By Rosie
from South suburban Chicago area
Last year I had an ankle replacement and still have a small amount of swelling at the site of the surgery. These support knee-highs are very comfortable and, most importantly, do the trick. I do wish they were a bit longer.
Most comfortable support
By Bubby the grandma
from New York
Very comfortable support knee highs that come in great colors. Thank you for this practical and useful product!
quick and ready
By Granny on the run.
from Little Rock, AR
Purchased to use everyday. The Order was fast and ready.
Non-run Support Knee Hi's
By The Silver Fox
from near the Mason-Dixon line
I am a male who was told I needed support hose by my physician. I tried men's support hose. Nearly $30 a pair! Then I tried these. They last longer, give better support, are more durable and cost much, much less. Since no one can tell I'm wearing "women's" support hose I decided that wearing these would not change my gender. Thank you, National.
Comfortable support
By deardi

Would like a lighter color, smaller foot length, and narrower band.
best buy
By m & m
from Indiana
I have ordered the socks many times. I like them as they are not expensive and do real well. They are not to tight work perfect to support.

nice regular knee high, not really suppo
By Annie
from Santa Monica, CA
Fine regular knee high. I can't feel any extra support, though.
knee-hi nylons
By Jan
from Berkeley, CA
I have ordered these repeatedly, whenever I run low on my supply. They have been practical and I do like the convenience of mail order.
Stockings didn't work for me.
By ilovetoreadtoo
from Fremont, Ohio
The stockings seemed to be excellent quality. I gave them to my daughter because after wearing them for one day my toes hurt terribly. I ordered another kind with no toes, but have not received them yet.
Too sheer for what I wanted.
By tleef
from Port Charlotte, fl
I need more opacity to hide scars.
Good quality and fit well.
By Grandma
from Dallas, Tx
Looks and feels good under pants and longer skirts.
I thought that they would be Queen Size
By Sandy
from Westford MA
I think these would be perfect for a regular sized calf, but mine are large so they didn't do the trick.
Quality Fair
By Phyllis
from Stanwood, WA
The least little thing puts a hole in these and the holes grow quckly, ruining the stockings.
I will buy again

Toe area boxy

Best for the money
By Marylamb
I have poor circulation in my feet and these help keep the swelling down and more comfortable to wear than the hose that are advertised for this. They easier for me to put on that the others.
By Doris
from Virginia
Feel great on my legs.
Did not disappoint
By Gramma
from Santa Rosa, CA
Great Product
By none
from Baltimore MD
I have tried other hose, looking for comfort and firmness - this is the very best...I am very pleased and will continue to wear them and will continue to order as needed.
Non Run Support Knee Hi
By Granny
from Greenfield IA
I was really disappointed in this "support" knee high stocking. I didn't think they had any support at all and the first time I put a pair on, my fingers went right through the material - making a hole! They did NOT stay up on my leg. I was very disappointed in the quality.

BOSTON — Matt Fraser of the Boston Bruins sported a Pawtucket Red Sox hat as he left the rink after the pre-game skate on Thursday morning.
Fraser, who lives near McCoy Stadium and goes to games there whenever he can, said he will throw out the first pitch at a PawSox game later this year — the date hasn't been set — after the hockey season is over.

Was Dan Haren the Right Move for the Nats?
December 20, 2012 in Nationals Offseason
I'm not a big fan of sabremetrics and I'm certainly more an "eyeball" guy. One of the primary reasons for this, or at least I think so, is that I'll never be able to comprehend how these statistics are come up with. Many players are evaluated by their WAR, these stats may be valid but you'll never see me using them. Today it was announced that former Nationals pitcher Edwin Jackson will sign with the Chicago Cubs. It makes me wonder if the Nationals should have stuck with Jackson or pursued Dan Haren.
I'll be honest, I haven't seen too much of Dan Haren due to the fact he's spent a great deal of his career on the West Coast. The 32 year old was phenomenal in his time with Arizona and Oakland. The success carried over a bit into his time with Angels, but he seemed to struggle some in 2013 posting his first losing record since 2003. I certainly have no complaints about Haren and he's certainly a heck of an arm to have at the back of your rotation, especially on a one year deal. But with a young team that is currently on an assent would Edwin Jackson made more sense?
The 29 year old Jackson has been a guy that has always passed the eyeball test for me. He has nasty stuff, can hold his own batting, and seems to be a quality teammate. Jackson didn't have dazzling stats with the Nats going 10-11 this past year with a 4.03 ERA. These numbers are pretty comparable to Haren, but Jackson seems to be a guy with a bit more upside.
Essentially, as with many things, it seems to have come down to money. Jackson has been a nomad of sorts playing for seven MLB clubs over the course of his career. He could never seemingly cash in on a multi-year deal. The Nationals seem like a team still looking for something at the end of their rotation and have continually brought in guys like Jackson, Chien-Ming Wang, and Jason Marquis. I'm happy Jackson scored a four year deal today, but $13 million for four years of Jackson is just too costly. In the end Mike Rizzo played his cards right and the one year deal for Haren at $13 million puts the Nationals in a much better position. This is why I can't always trust my eyeballs.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Belle!
Facts about Belle
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog/Beagle Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Belle's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Good day! I'm Belle. I'm a shepherd/lab mixed girl, and I'm about 1 year old. I'm a bigger girl, over 40lbs, but since I'm almost a grown up now I won't get much bigger. I might have had puppies already at my young age. I hope they are safe wherever they are. I'm a very nice girl who does pretty well on a leash even though I haven't seen a lot of them in my days. I also can go potty when you tell me to! I'm a very nice girl who gets along with other dogs and cats. I will be spayed and up to date on shots very soon! Do you think I could come live with you forever? I promise to be a very good young lady. Please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com to apply to adopt me! I can't wait to meet you! All my love--Belle
Other Pets at Adopt A Pup Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Belle, a Laingsburg German Shepherd Dog/Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog/Beagle for sale in Laingsburg, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog/Beagle dog from a breeder in Laingsburg.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Laingsburg already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Laingsburg breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog/Beagle breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog/Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Laingsburg paves the way for another one to be saved.
