What to Expect
Almost all people who have had brain surgery will require several weeks to fully recover. You may feel easily tired and you should avoid strenuous activity until you have had a follow-up appointment with your doctor and have discussed increasing the level of your activity. It is important, however, to avoid prolonged bed rest, which can lead to lung problems and blood clots in the legs. Going for walks, either inside or outside, and then resting when you are tired is a good way to get the exercise you need.
Dos and Don'ts
Contact us immediately if:
These symptoms are some of the most serious post-operative problems. When in doubt, it is best to call and ask.
Contact information and follow ups
During business hours you should call your attending physician's office with any questions. For emergencies after business hours call 401-444-5611 and ask for the neurosurgical resident on call.
Call your attending physician's office after you are discharged from the hospital to arrange for stitch/staple removal and necessary follow up appointments.
You should also schedule a follow up appointment with your primary care physician. If you do not have a general doctor, you can call the Lifespan Heath Connection at 401-444-4800 for a referral.

Vanilla Lime is currently my favourite spring/summer Yankee scent, with a refreshing yet light scent. The vanilla and lime combined create a balanced smell that is not too sweet or sour, and is a tad too sugary to be considered clean. Having said this, the votives would benefit from a larger throw, and the plain reed diffuser does not smell like the candle at all; it has a peculiar polish-like smell.
Vanilla Lime is one of my fave YC scents. Not much throw - but I love it anyway - a bright lime with a warm vanilla sweetness. Just the right blend of sweet and tart citrus.
While Yankee Candles often do not have much throw, some of the scents are very nice, indeed and vanilla lime is one that I enjoy.
It has a subtle lime hint but is heavier on the sweet vanilla notes. A creamy-fresh scent that is great for home or office. I have this in a votive and jar candle and also in the new "Yankee to go" portable spray home fragrance. Nice!

I was disappointed when Key Lime Pie disappeared and resented Vanilla Lime, as it was supposedly the substitute for Key Lime Pie, "only better". It took many whiffs and a chatty, persuasive Yankee employee but I finally purchased Vanilla Lime. Well what do you know, I love Vanilla Lime! What a refreshing, yummy-smelling cold margarita in the form of a Yankee candle! I don't detect any sour notes, the lime was perfectly tamed with vanilla, delicious!

My new favorite summer scent. :) It smells like a margarita without the salt and sour. The only downside is that sometimes it smells a *little* like cat pee. I will happily repurchase.
I use the tart for my Yankee Candle Electric Tarts Wax Potpourri Warmers. the tarts smell so real! I love the tarts.
Smooth and refreshing - the creamy richness of vanilla with sweet cane sugar and a zesty lime twist. this is perfect for summer!
Although I like this scent, I can't burn it for too long, cause it gets a bit too sweet. I don't know, it just reminds me of something else, can't put my finger on it. I think I would repurchase, but no often.
This is my second favourite Yankee Candle scent so far (I haven't smelled them all yet). I loaded up on this scent. It's a very sweet vanilla-y lime scent very dessert like not overly tart citrus more like those yummy lime creamsicle popsicles. I keep these potpourris in my panty drawer because they make my undies smell like candy mmmm.
Normally I dislike Vanilla scented candles but this one is absolutely yummy with the lime added to it. It's not an extremely strong fragrance but it's very noticeable and it's a nice summer scent for the home. I would buy it again.

In Response To: Re: Ground Flax Seeds, how do YOU grind them? (Joan)
We have a small grinder with reversible blade. I place about 1/3 cup of seeds at a time in the grinder with the blade rotated to chop (dull side). It takes about 20 seconds to grind them. They get warm, but not hot. I think the grinder cost about $30.

Coral BeachRobert Dasher, co-owner and the "R" in G&R Farms, measures the growth of a Vidalia onion with calipers. Dasher said the 2013 crop looks good, despite too much rain in late February and unusually cool temperatures the last week of March.VIDALIA, Ga. — With college basketball fans anxiously awaiting the 2013 championship in Atlanta's Georgia Dome April 8, Vidalia onion growers are experiencing their own version of March Madness as some expect to begin shipping the same day as the big game.
"We've got our own kind of March Madness here," said Walt Dasher, co-owner of G&R Farms, Glennville. "There's so much that can happen in late March — hail, temperature fluctuations — and last year we didn't see some of the issues with the downey mildew until we had started packing."
Dasher said conditions look favorable for average to slightly above average yields in the G&R fields. He expects sizes to be average and slightly larger than typical.
However, a storm front rolled across the country the first weekend of spring and dumped 2-4 inches of rain across the Vidalia growing region.
Richard Pazderski, director of development for Utah Onions, said there were even reports of hail around the Glennville area, but he hadn't seen it himself.
Most growers polled March 25 said the rain was a concern, but predictions of cold overnight temperatures for the last week of March were more troublesome.
"We need to make sure the necks are beginning to dry before we start digging," Pazderski said. "This weather may slow us down a couple of days, but not too much longer."
On March 25, Dasher revised his anticipated start date, saying the rain and cold could push shipping back to April 15-20.
Rain had roots gasping
Ronny Collins, chief executive officer of Plantation Sweets, Cobbtown, said he uses an old-time rule of thumb to help him determine when his Vidalias are out of danger.
"They always said until you see the full moon at the end of March, you aren't safe from seed stems and other problems," Collins said.
"This year we thought that heavy rain in February would drastically reduce our crop. But things have dried out since then, and we expect only a slight reduction overall with more jumbos instead of collosals this season."
Rainfall totals were varied across the Vidalia growing region during the late February storms that brought an official end to a two-year drought. Some growers reported 10 inches of rain while others reported as much as 24 inches in a 10-day period.
In a few low spots, the ground was so saturated that the onion roots did a 180-degree turn and headed straight back up to the surface seeking oxygen, said Travis Collins, who operates Collins-based Mike & Travis Farms with his father Mike Collins.

Having lost the White House, Arizona businesses are launching a state initiative designed to pre-empt federal legislation that would make it easier for unions to organize.
The measure, being launched today would constitutionally guarantee the right of Arizonans to have a secret ballot.
That already is protected in Arizona in voting for candidates for public office and on ballot measures. The real aim is to extend that to elections by employees to decide if they want to unionize.
Backers need more than 230,000 signatures by July 2010 to put the measure before voters that year.
The target is federal "card-check" legislation, more formally known as the Employee Free Choice Act.
Under current law, a union first has to get cards from a majority of workers seeking certification. That leads then to a secret vote — a vote that sometimes results in the defeat of the union despite the interest expressed.
The proposal, which President-elect Barack Obama supports, would require that a union be formed once a majority signed cards in support. There also are provisions designed to make it easier for unions to force employers to bargain with them.
While the bill has failed in prior years, the change in the White House, coupled with more Democrats in Congress, could make it impossible for businesses to kill it this coming year. That is why they are trying to get states perceived to be friendly to business, like Arizona, to pre-empt the federal law on a state-by-state basis.
Clint Bolick of the Goldwater Institute, and a member of the SOS Ballot advisory board, acknowledged that federal law normally trumps a conflicting state law or constitutional provision.
"But there are a number of factors courts look at, including the importance of the relative interests," he said. Bolick said the "significant interest" in a secret ballot outweighs a card-check plan.
"The only interest it serves is making it easier for unions to organize," Bolick said. "It doesn't protect workers in any way."
Rebekah Friend, executive director of the state AFL-CIO, said card-check legislation does not eliminate secret ballots but simply provides employees an alternate method of organizing.
She said cards signed by workers calling for an election are not confidential and can be examined by management. That, Friend said, results in "closed-door meetings, intimidation, threats, things like that" before the election.
A card-check system, she said, short-circuits that second step.
But Sydney Hay, who lobbies on behalf of mining interests in Arizona, said the federal proposal will make it easier for union organizers to harass and intimidate employees into signing the cards even though they really don't want a union.
She said there are instances where virtually all of the workers sign "interest" cards calling for an election but the actual vote goes against the union. Hay said the constitutional language her group wants adopted here will protect against intimidation, whether by management or labor.
"You get to vote secretly," she said. "That way, neither the employer nor the union organizers know how you personally voted."
Card-check legislation has been a top priority of unions which are facing declining membership. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said more than 20 percent of workers belonged to a union in 1983; last year that figure was just 12.1 percent.
In Arizona, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, union membership has slid from 14.3 percent of all workers in 1983 to 9.7 percent. Among private employers, union membership went from 8.6 percent to 6.5 percent.
Glenn Hamer, president of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry, warned that if the federal measure becomes law, "this great recession will turn into a depression."
During the presidential campaign, an Obama spokesman said the candidate supported card-check, because it leaves it up to workers whether they want or need a secret election. And Hilda Solis, whom Obama chose to be secretary of labor, has called it "vital legislation."
Identical measures are being launched today in Arkansas and Missouri. Backers, organized as Save Our Secret Ballot, also are working to get legislatures in Nevada and Utah to put the measure before voters there.
"You're creating an additional pressure for companies, particularly manufacturers, to look abroad for where they want to locate," Hamer said.

God's Instruments: Political Conduct in the England of Oliver Cromwell
By: Blair Worden (author)HardbackMore than 4 weeks availability
The Puritan Revolution escaped the control of its creators. The parliamentarians who went to war with Charles I in 1642 did not want or expect the fundamental changes that would follow seven years later: the trial and execution of the king, the abolition of the House of Lords, and the creation of the only republic in English history. There were startling and unexpected developments, too, in religion and ideas: the spread of unorthodox doctrines; the attainment of a wide measure of liberty of conscience; new thinking about the moral and intellectual bases of politics and society. God's Instruments centres on the principal instrument of radical change, Oliver Cromwell, and on the unfamiliar landscape of the decade he dominated, from the abolition of the monarchy in 1649 to the return of the Stuart dynasty in 1660. Its theme is the relationship between the beliefs or convictions of politicians and their decisions and actions. Blair Worden explores the biblical dimension of Puritan politics; the ways that a belief in the workings of divine providence affected political conduct; Cromwell's commitment to liberty of conscience and his search for godly reformation through educational reform; the constitutional premises of his rule and those of his opponents in the struggle for supremacy between parliamentary and military rule; the relationship between conceptions of civil and religious liberty. The conflicts Worden reconstructs are placed in the perspective of long-term developments, of which historians have lost sight, in ideas about parliament and about freedom. The final chapters turn to the guiding convictions of two writers at the heart of politics, John Milton and the royalist Edward Hyde, the future Earl of Clarendon. Material from previously published essays, much of it expanded and extensively revised, comes together with freshly written chapters.Create a review

Yeah sure shorty but your opinion had zero value. Go find something else.
Doubt it. Even in 1974 there were buyers. And that year was hell.
More like 5 for this turkey....
Ok but this is not the Conn's board....
12/31/23 after 5 splits...sure...
Or you could try investing in coffee.
But in meantime this con job is going to 10
Search for symbol DNDN: not found...even on pinks due to liquidation. Anyone want the velour chairs?
Can only go lower. This isn't facebook.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
FB can convert existing user base to biz format. Normally competition is good but sheer volume could cut outlook. And growth model here will come under more scrutiny. Fb's ad engines far more sophisticated too. Plus fcf superior. I would take some off the table.
Sentiment: Hold
Possibly but China situation says more downside plus technically it has to do a retest if bottom is in.
Yep and now you see the result. That bozo is always behind the curve.
You being a moron is a real possibility. Go short something else.
Now you will have nothing left to hold not even the bag. BK was inevitable.
Down it goes. You have had many opportunities to get out. Now you will lose it all.
Ok so I checked it out today and all I get is the home page grayed over and a popup wanting me to submit my email. I shouldn't be forced to do this just to see what they offer from a first timer perspective. But looking through the gray it seems an unimpressive etailer...Thanks but i'll stick with Amazon.
The stock looks like a one trick pony that is about to go belly up.
And just what are you smoking? This is another spicy pickle...gone in a year...
One word for you:
That's what the chorus was on Jung...it's the biz model and it stinks. Look at HLF tank ah...another loser pyramid...
Go invest in LVS then. Get the hell off this board.

Police are looking for two men who unwittingly entered a closed fast food restaurant, stole food and made a mess.
Officers said the pair walked into the Delhi Road White Castle about 2:15 a.m. Jan. 25 and found that it had closed.
Instead of leaving, police said they stayed inside for about 20 minutes.
They not only helped themselves to food, police said, but they also threw food around the inside of the eatery.
The men left in what appeared to be a silver or tan Pontiac Bonneville.
The case remains under investigation.

Navigating the Divorce Process: First Steps to a Smart Divorce
Posted on April 18, 2012 by CA Divorce Editor
Divorce Advice: Dishon & Block Family Law Experts
When considering divorce or separation, do you immediately feel like you're stuck in a leaky financial boat that's sinking fast? This can be a tricky and difficult time, but you can stop your ship from going under with smart financial decisions at the outset of the divorce process that can set you on a new course in life.
Remember, building a divorce support team can be critical in testing the waters of separation or divorce. A qualified family law attorney can guide you through each step of the process, fight for your rights if need be and help steer you to a family therapist, a financial planner and perhaps even a tax accountant.
Taking positive actions towards this daunting emotional and financial task can actually alleviate stress. It's important to stay as relaxed and as rational as possible when sailing through the divorce process. Why? Any overlooked financial detail can escalate into the loss of thousands of dollars later, so it is prudent to make logical (and smart!) financial decisions now.
One of the first steps to financial success is to close any joint bank and investment accounts and cancel any joint credit cards.
Then, notify major credit bureaus to separate your credit history from your soon-to-be ex spouse. That way, all future reports will be based on your own credit. Scan your credit carefully to be certain all joint credit accounts are closed and/or notified of the financial separation.
Don't forget to revise your will and, if appropriate, name another beneficiary(s). Legal revisions also apply to insurance, taxes and retirement plans (401(k)s, IRAs and Roth IRAs, for example).
Additional divorce advice would be to keep copies of all your important legal and financial information, especially this document: Qualified Domestic Relations Order or QDRO, which often determines how any future pension and/or retirement plan benefits are to be divided up. The QDRO is required by an employer to distribute retirement benefits to a former spouse. So, if you are to receive benefits from your ex's plan, you'll need this document.
Other financial choices include the assessment of your household needs and a budget to get you through this difficult time after your divorce or separation as your income changes from two to one.
Look at your taxes! Check your tax liabilities that may leave you with fewer net assets than your ex, even if the property has been equally divided.
People often overlook social security entitlements. If you are at least 62 years old and meet the law's requirements, your ex-spouse's work record may entitle you to receive benefits.
Feeling stressed out already? All divorcees have felt this way. Start by getting a qualified divorce lawyer so you can get the advice you need to move forward safely and securely. And one day soon, you will feel like you are navigating through smoother emotional waters.
Not sure how to start the divorce process? Here's some advice and tips from a family law attorney on how to get started: California Divorces Process

I graduated last year from Milton High School and am a freshman at the University of Wisconsin - Rock County. I am pursuing a degree in Recreational Therapy with minors in Horticulture and Music. I am involved in Jazz choir and musicals at school since music and dance are my passion. I teach Pre Ballet and Voice at Step Up Performing Arts Academy, where I also just assisted with a community production for Christmas. I have been very active in Milton FFA with my Horticulture CDE and I was on the Floriculture judging team for 4 years. This year I will be helping to coach the team and look forward to becoming an Alumni member of FFA. I am the Vice President of the Milton 4-H club and have been active in 4-H for 13 years. I currently serve as the Rock County 4-H Fair Queen and was recently awarded Miss Congeniality at the State Fairest of the Fair competition. I belong to Milton Grange where I am the Lecturer and at the Wisconsin State Grange I hold the office of Ceres. I work part time at Milton Senior Living as an Activity Aid and like hanging out with my friends and 2 cats Zoey and Molly.
I have been attending NJHA conventions since I was little and I actually took my first steps in 1995 at the NJHA convention in Niagara Falls. I am the third generation in my family to be involved in NJHA. I have participated in many contests including Young American projects, speeches and demonstrations, and the Horticulture ID. NJHA has given me the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends from across the country. I have been able to travel to new places and discover and learn new things. Being part of the National Officer team has been an awesome experience. It has allowed me to strengthen my skills and grow as a leader. I am so honored to be your National President this year.
I am so enthusiastic about NJHA. My hope is to have an FFA team come to Kentucky this year from Wisconsin. But my biggest project is to re-connect NJHA to the Grange. Locally and in Wisconsin, this has been working (Thank you Wisconsin State Grange for your support of NJHA), but I have also been busy promoting NJHA to Grange members across the nation. I have been fortunate to attend National Grange Conventions and Grange Leadership meetings and have shared what we are about. I encourage you to find your local Grange (if you need help finding one, just ask me, I can help you), and start talking about NJHA and the opportunities we offer. Together we can reach across the nation and build our organization. Lets not keep us a secret any longer.
Grace Manzer - NJHA Secretary
My name is Grace Manzer. I was born in Morgantown West Virginia and lived in West Virginia for 3 months. Now I live in Elizabeth City, North Carolina and have been here since I was 3 months old. I am currently the NJHA secretary. I am a senior at Northeastern High School and plan to go to NC State in the fall to major in horticulture. My favorite hobby is working with and showing lambs.
I have attended National convention as a competitor for 2 years. However, I have been doing the competition since I was 9, the youngest competitive 4-H age. I have been the state individual high scorer twice at the junior level and once as a senior. I have also competed in the speaking and demonstration events at nationals both in San Diego two years ago and this year in Williamsburg.
Its really important to keep those who have been involved still involved. Also, we need to pull more on our sister organizations such as FFA and 4-H to promote membership. Some ways we could do that include setting up a booth at the state conventions for each organization. By showcasing the merits of the horticulture competition I expect a few states might show considerable interest. FFA horticulture competitions only deal with ornamentals, so I think displaying the NJHA contest as a complete horticulture experience might interest some people. This same approach could also be implemented at the state level by our state coordinators.
Rachel Hammond - NJHA Central Director
Howdy yall! My name is Rachel Hammond from the out skirts of Fort Wayne, Indiana. I live on the country side of Fort Wayne where fields surround my house, which is what I love. I am a freshman at Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne currently studying Pre-Radiography. I would like to continue my education so that I can continue to help others. Last year I was Western Director and this year (2013-2014) I have the privilege of being Central Director. I am honored to be a part of this wonderful organization. I love not only my officer team, but also the youth from across the United States. I was a 10 year 4-H member and a 5 year FFA member. I was heavily involved in 4-H and FFA and I will forever continue to support them. In 4-H I showed steers, chickens, and a pet rabbit and enter may projects. I did activities and competitions left and right in FFA, from Horticulture to growing and selling corn. FFA is what got me into NJHA and I am very thankful of that. NJHA is giving me the opportunity to continue supporting the organizations that made me who I am today. Now I can give back to not only NJHA but also 4-H & FFA.
Lexington, Kentucky will be my 7th NJHA convention and the second time of holding an NJHA office. I have done the Horticulture ID contest (2009-2012) and participated in Horticulture connections every year, including this year, I have attended NJHA convention. The people, the fun, & the knowledge learned all play a key role in bringing me back to NJHA year after year. I hope they do the same for you! NJHA has given me the opportunity to travel new places and meet new people. I have been able to make many new friends and family.
Going and Growing That is what we are all about! In my office this year I want to make sure that NJHA keeps Going and Growing. That means keeping in touch with the youth and sponsors. I want to ensure that NJHA members come back, not just once, but over and over again. I hope people make it a tradition because traditions and memories are what NJHA loves to do. We love seeing the faces from across the country return to NJHA. We like to see people going to convention and growing into leaders of tomorrow. As an officer it is also important for me to talk to sponsors to make sure that they continue to support our non-profit organization. It is important that we have sponsors so that we can continue to grow in this ever changing world.
In the future of NJHA I see many brilliant, bright faces and life impacts. I see good changes in the future of the National Junior Horticultural Association. Changes that will improve our organization and that will help the youth. Changes that will keep NJHA Going and Growing. But together we can keep NJHA Going and Growing!
Sayali Desai - NJHA Eastern Director
Hello! My name is Sayali Desai, and I have been given the honor to serve as your 2014-2015 Eastern Region Director. I am currently a junior in high school hoping to pursue a generalized agricultural degree at the University of Delaware. During the summer, I volunteer at Hagley Museum and Library on a weekly basis assisting the horticulturist in maintaining and the beautification of the gardens. During the semester, I am employed as a Kennel Technician at the Windcrest Animal Hospital assisting with canine and feline boarding. Apart from agriculture, some of my other passions include reading, archery and hiking.
I have been a member of NJHA for the past two years and was introduced to it during my first year as a 4- H member. I have competed in many of our contests such as demonstration, essay contests, horticulture connections, the Y/C program, and alumni scholarship as well as taught plant propagation workshops. I am also a member of FFA, a national organization have competed in numerous contests and classes. I am currently serving as a Director in my chapter guiding and counseling those who are relatively recent to the organization. I am a member of my local Grange.
NJHA is not only a horticultural platform that has introduced me to the various fields in the horticultural industry but it has also brought me to connect with many others who share a similar passion. It also made me realize of my future endeavors. I wish to use this given opportunity to make a difference as those who have continued to do and will continue in this organization. My contributions in that office would be to keep the general public informed of our esteemed organization through our annual newsletters. Also, I would like to create cohesive groups at local, state and national level through correspondence with various youth coordinators in the region. Furthermore, I would like to be that voice to offer help when needed, encouragement when there is a lack of confidence or even offer advice as friend and lend a helping shoulder.
I envision helping NJHA in whichever form or way whether it requires recruiting members, attending meetings; writing articles or even getting members enthused about participating in various projects/events. My ultimate goal is just to spread happiness. Happiness breeds optimism, optimism produces resilience, and resilience makes happiness endure perpetually. Also, I envision carrying this organization to great heights where it is recognized as a National Organization similar to FFA. Last but not least, I would indefinitely like to promote exciting new experiences for youth while informing them of various vocations and careers.
Some of my goals include visiting various University extension departments in the Eastern region involved and passionate about this field as I am and accomplishing what others have been able to before me. Moreover, I would like to be able to make a contribution to NJHA through various fundraisers hoping to expand horticultural awareness and develop an appreciation for this particular industry through lectures, informative sessions and interactive methods.
Bethany Brinsfield - NJHA Western Director
I am Bethany Brinsfield. I live on a farm in Vienna, Maryland and I am the Western Director. I am 17 and currently a senior at North Dorchester High School. On my farm we grow sweet corn, peppers, lima beans, watermelons, field corn, soybeans, and sweet potatoes. I love making sweet potatoe biscuits and pies! We also have animals on my farm. I raise goats and rabbits for meat and have three dogs and a lot of barn cats. I have two sisters and a brother and we all help our parents on the farm.
I have been to three NJHA conventions, but I have been participating in horticulture judging since I was 8. My first NJHA convention, in 2011, I competed in the Horticulture Judging contest for the Maryland 4-H team. I placed 3rd in Horticulture Judging and also participated in the Extemporaneous Speech contest. I made some great friends in San Diego, California and decided to come again to compete in Open Horticulture Judging. In Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, 2012, I competed in Open Horticulture Judging, Extemporaneous Speech, and Preforming Arts. I placed first in Open and received Grand National for the skit that I co-preformed with Sayali Desai. In Wisconsin I was also chosen to be the Eastern Director. I had a great year as Eastern Director. I went to winter meeting and June Meeting and really connected with my youth coordinators. I came back to Williamsburg, Virginia this year and competed in Honors Horticulture Judging and Extemporaneous Speech. I placed 4th in Honors and won a National award for my Extemporaneous Speech. I applied for office again and now I am Western Director!
This year I would like to continue working hard to keep NJHA going and growing. I started a game last year on Facebook called Quiz Pictures. Im planning on continuing the program this year, so dont miss out. I also had a great time last year putting together the February and August editions of The Eastern Times. This year feel free to send me articles so that The Western Times can be a hit. If I am not already your Facebook friend, please look me up. If you have any questions email or message me and I will be happy to answer them.
Matthew Bond - NJHA Past President
Hello! My name is Matthew Bond, and I am the 2013-2014 Past President. Im currently a senior Plant Science major at Cornell University. My concentration is Plants and Health, and I am currently applying to PhD programs in ethnobotany and economic botany. During the semester I conduct research on medicinal plants and work at the Cornell University costume shop. Although my main love is plants, I also enjoy spending time with my camera, downhill skiing, and hiking.
I have been a member of NJHA for 7 years, and have been a member of the officer team for the last 5 years. For the last two years, I served as president, and in the two years before that I served as Western Director. I have competed in many of our contests, including the ID, demonstration, extemporaneous speaking, and essay contests, as well as horticulture connections, environmental awareness project, the YC program, and achievement and leadership scholarship. I am also a member of Pi Alpha Xi; the honor society for Horticulture, Ho-Nun-De-Kah; the junior and senior honor society of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University, Phi Eta Sigma; the National Freshman Honor Society and Beta Beta Beta; the Biological Honors Society.
During my year as Past President, my goals include continuing to revise and modernize NJHAs social media presence. This will include our website, Facebook page, Youtube channel, and twitter account. I am also working to update NJHA contests and projects, and contacting other states and organizations to encourage their participation. I challenge all of you to help us keep NJHA going and growing, coordinating with organizations such as The Grange, FFA, 4-H and local youth garden clubs. I know that this years convention in Lexington, Kentucky, be one to remember, and look forward to seeing all of you there!
Ted Beebe - NJHA Co-Advisor
Hi, I am Ted Beebe, and I am one of the co-advisors to the Youth Officer Team. My two children (Nick and Katlyn) both attended NJHA conventions in prior years (and Katlyn is a past Youth Officer), and my granddaughter Brooklynne is a Grand National and National Award winner in the photography contest while she waits to be old enough for her first convention. I live in Saratoga Springs, NY, a city that takes great pride in its historical parks and natural spring waters. I work with Saratoga County 4-H as the manager of the photography department at county fair, and assist with judging and entry classifications at State Fair. I am a member of my local Lions club and help to manage the Ballston Spa 4-H demonstration community gardens.
My wife, Sue Beebe, introduced me to NJHA 24 years ago, and my first convention was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I have greatly enjoyed sharing in the learning process with our Saratoga County 4-H Horticulture Team over the years (I have a natural brown thumb so anything horticultural is magical to me!) and look forward to helping with the NY State Fair contest each year. Sue and I have been members of the awards committee over the years and have been very happy to assist the officer team in taking over this responsibility last year. Sue is the Photography Competition Program Chair, and I help with that competition each year. It is always exciting to see each years entries come in the beginning of September, and I hope to see some of your work this year!
This is an exciting time to be part of this organization. We have some new faces, and new energy in our governing bodies and the more experienced parts of the boards have been strongly encouraging everyone to get involved in re-invigorating our group. We have a really great team of youth officers, they are dedicated, work well together, and are just lots of fun to be around. A committee is working on revamping and updating the many competitions, and we are beginning an effort to re-connect with our Grange roots. All of this points to exciting times in the next few years and a bright future for NJHA. Its great to be involved!
Debbie Gegare - NJHA Co-Advisor
Hi, I am Debbie Gegare, from Wisconsin and I am a Co-Advisor to the National Officer Team. My daughter Lexi, is very interested in Horticulture and my son Cody, is just starting to learn. We also have 2 cats named Molly and Zoey. I work for Catholic Charities in the Community Connections program, where I am the Lead Skills Trainer. This is a day program for adults with developmental disabilities, where I do case management and activity programming. I am not only involved with NJHA, but also 4-H, FFA and the Grange. In 4-H, I am a project leader for Music and Drama, Food Preservation and I am the County Camp Director. I am the coach for the FFA Floriculture team and I am also an alumni member. I am currently the Overseer (Vice President) of my local Grange chapter and the Membership and Youth Director for the Wisconsin State Grange. I also do some work with the National Grange as a Communications Fellow and correspondent for Grange Radio.
I have been involved with NJHA for over 25 years. My first convention was the 50th Convention in Grand Rapids, MI in 1984. I represented Wisconsin on a 4-H team and was hooked on NJHA right from the start. I was active as a YC, became a national officer and when I graduated out, I worked with teams and became the State Leader for Wisconsin. We have made NJHA a family affair as my parents, sister and daughter have all participated in different aspects of the organization.
As the National Advisor, I work closely with the National Officer Team. We help to plan conventions and keep in communications with the members of our organization throughout the year. Our goal is to have representation from all states at our annual meeting. NJHA is a best kept secret, but lets not keep it a secret any longer. I encourage and challenge you to spread the word about our awesome organization. When voices start talking, people will hear.
We are very excited to begin working out the details for the 80th annual convention, held October 10-13, 2014 in Lexington, KY. Plan on attending, you wont want to miss it!

In an effort to temper the impact, a new temporary access is being constructed by DNR Trails and Waterways. This site, located on the way to Halfmoon Landing at the upstream end of West Newton Chute, will have close access to the main river channel.
Tim Schlagenhaft, DNR Blufflands and Mississippi River Coordinator, said the drawdown began June 14 at Lock and Dam 5, located 10 miles northwest of Winona. The maximum drawdown will be 1.5 feet and if river flows cooperate will end by Sept. 30.
"The drawdown is going to temporarily inconvenience boaters at the Pool this summer. That's unfortunate but unavoidable," Schlagenhaft said. "What we should try to keep in mind is that the long-term benefits to come from this project could be substantial," Schlagenhaft stated.
"Drawdowns, such as the one conducted at Pool 8 during the summers of 2001 and 2002, have proven very successful in terms of restoring aquatic vegetation which is vital for improving water quality and fish and wildlife habitat," Schlagenhaft said. "We expect no less from this project."
Accesses that are likely to be affected are: Minneiska Public Landing; Weaver Bottoms Public Landing; Clear Lake Landing; Goose Lake Landing; and Halfmoon Landing. Accesses on the Wisconsin side of the river will be open, with the exception of the Upper Spring Lake Landing that will be closed due to a habitat construction project.
The drawdown project is endorsed by the River Resources Forum, a consortium of state and federal organizations and agencies established to build consensus on Upper Mississippi River resource issues.

Re: Router Injury Sparks Reflection on Safety
Something that lots of folks do not realize is that routers at 10-20,000 RPM "gyro." Basically it is just like a bicycle wheel that wants to stay pointed in one direction when it is rotating ...that's why you get away with "look mom, no hands." What happens with any gyro is that when you smack it (e.g., the bit gets hung up), it will go into a hard to predict and hard to handle motion... (for the techies, it wants to precess). An interesting experiment is to remove the bit, turn the trim router on and try to twist the router. It will want to jump out of your hand. The faster you move, the greater the force generated. With a bit that snags the work, you can get into lots of trouble fast. Morale of the story clamp, clamp, clamp....
Re: Could This Tool Change Everything?
What makes it even more funny is it looks like the 6 sigma liability folks made sure it was properly framed in case someone actually tried making a sissy stick and got hurt.
Re: Tablesaw Safety Goes Under the Microscope--Again
All of this thinking came from what managers label as "6-sigma." Mathematically, that is 3.4 "problems" out of 1,000,000 "opportunities." It does not take the human element of "self protection" into account. In other words, it assumes that a worker doesn't care if they cut off a finger, are injured, or even die.
Where I work, some "safety expert" began requiring chuck guards on lathes only to discover that the guards became more of a hazard than the machine itself. The problem is that few of the "do-gooders" have ever been down on the floor and they only rely on theory. And unfortunately, they are usually blind to the boundaries between fact, theory, and hypothesis. The result is that they end up making it worse for everyone.
Re: Man Wins Big Money in Tablesaw Lawsuit
Beths0802 has a good point. Why wasn't this person found 100% at fault because he DID NOT buy the saw with the technology. After all, the technology is patented and proprietary and not available to all manufacturers. They should reverse this on an appeal.

Important Information >>
I would like to say after playing with the Mill that I am impressed with many of it's features! The first thing I like is the Spindle…. As an educator I was used to using a "Techno" that often had a small router installed on their machine The Desktop spindle is quiet and with the ½" and ¼" spindle attachment it allows for a lot of different cutters.
The Z Clearance plate is great! I never had anything like this before and that is probably the best thing about the machine! You talk about a time saver…… Now if they can make it work with a X and Y axis….. Get to work on that one production people….
The package also comes with a lot of engraving features that allows you to make professional looking signs... It is a pretty simple process.
The one thing that directions said to do with the desktop was to install a sacrificial board and then surface it for the table of the router…. It then said to use double sided tape to secure your work pieces…. I found this not to be a good idea… I got rid of the table right away and purchased some CAM clamps to use in the Slot table that comes with the machine. I don't like my work coming loose with 90% of it complete….

07 October 2008
A study led by experts from Cardiff University has recruited the first children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes as part of a national study funded by Diabetes UK.
The research project - Delivering Early Care In Diabetes Evaluation - The DECIDE Study - is being led by Dr Lesley Lowes from Cardiff School of Nursing and Midwifery Studies and Professor John Gregory from the Department of Child Health, School of Medicine.
With full coordination provided by the South East Wales Trials Unit (SEWTU) in the Department of Primary Care and Public Health, the team will investigate the advantages of home management and hospitalisation for children with type 1 diabetes and is the first centre to recruit children for the UK-wide study.
Dr Lowes said, "Children with type 1 diabetes have traditionally been hospitalised at diagnosis but are increasingly starting treatment at home. Currently there is no high quality evidence regarding psychological, social, physical or economic outcomes of home or hospital management."
"The aim of this research is to determine whether it is better to admit to hospital for initiation of insulin treatment and education of child and family, or whether results would be better if initial management was provided at home."
The study will be coordinated by Cardiff University and undertaken by eight centres across the UK; Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust, Southampton University Hospitals Trust, Hull and East Yorkshire NHS Trust, Royal Liverpool Children's NHS Trust, Nottingham Universities NHS Trust, Newcastle Upon Tyne NHS Foundation Hospitals Trust, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Belfast Health and Social Care Trust. Each centre will be responsible for recruiting 30 newly diagnosed children and their families to the study.
Dr Iain Frame, Research Manager at Diabetes UK, said: "Children with Type 1 diabetes require specialist care, and where this care takes place depends very much on the needs of the child and the family situation. Diabetes UK has funded this research because we hope that it will help healthcare professionals and families to make informed decisions about the best environment in which care should take place and we look forward to seeing the results. This is a good example of Diabetes UK funding research with the potential to make a real difference to the lives of people with diabetes."
There are strong and opposing views as to where best to manage newly diagnosed children. Although some units admit all children, others try to keep children out of hospital.
In the study, 240 children with type 1 diabetes (clinically well at diagnosis) aged 0-17 years from eight UK centres will be randomly selected to start treatment at home or in hospital from diagnosis but will receive the same support and education.
Best practice will be determined by assessing and comparing parents' and children's psychological adjustment, coping and adaptation, diabetes knowledge and satisfaction with service provision, children's glycaemic control and well being, health service and patient borne costs, and by exploring parents' and children's experiences from their perspective.

Marcus Stroman Rumors
Chicago Links: Beckham, Quintana, Russell, Wright, Garcia, Samardzija
The White Sox are willing to move second baseman Gordon Beckham, reports Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports, but Jose Quintana isn't available (Twitter link). The 27-year-old Beckham opened the season on the disabled list and had a strong month of May after being activated, but he's cooled since that time and is hitting .248/.302/.395. He's under team control through 2015 and is earning $4.18MM this season after avoiding arbitration for the second time this season. It's not entirely surprising that the team wouldn't move Quintana, as he just inked a five-year, $21MM contract extension in Spring Training. He's in the midst of his finest season in the Majors to this point, having posted a 3.20 ERA with 8.0 K/9, 2.6 BB/9 and a 47.6 percent ground-ball rate.
Here are a few more items pertaining to the Sox and their north-side counterparts…
- Left-handers James Russell and Wesley Wright are both drawing trade interest, reports Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish. Each southpaw is under team control through the 2015 season, and each has a 2.22 ERA through 24 1/3 innings this season. Wright, who is earning $1.43MM is slightly more affordable than Russell and his $1.78MM salary.

- White Sox GM Rick Hahn told reporters today that injured outfielder Avisail Garcia has been cleared to resume baseball activities (via CSN Chicago's Dan Hayes). While he has a long way to go and it's a long shot, Hahn wouldn't rule out the possibility that Garcia could play in the Majors again this season.
- Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports that the Cubs talked with the Blue Jays regarding Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel before trading the pair to the A's on Independence Day. The Cubs were asking for Marcus Stroman and Drew Hutchison in addition to "at least" one of Daniel Norris, Aaron Sanchez and Dalton Pompey. That's a steep price to pay, to be sure, though none of those prospects are as highly regarded as the centerpiece Chicago did acquire in the deal — shortstop Addison Russell.
- Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports heard the same five names, though he hears that they were discussed in various combinations, and the Blue Jays didn't discuss packages to acquire both pitchers (Twitter links). One scout tells Rosenthal that Norris and Stroman could both be No. 1 or No. 2 types of starters, and the Jays would be "crazy" to deal them.
- Speaking to WFAN's Mike Francesca on Monday, Yankees GM Brian Cashman said that he had extensive negotiations with the Cubs to acquire both Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel, but he doesn't think the Cubs could have landed a better package than they one they wound up taking from Oakland, regardless of who they were dealing with. CBS New York has highlights and audio from the conversation.

Astros' Trade Discussion Notes Leaked
4:30pm: The Astros have issued the following statement regarding the leaked notes:
"Last month, we were made aware that proprietary information held on Astros' servers and in Astros' applications had been illegally obtained. Upon learning of the security breach, we immediately notified MLB security who, in turn, notified the FBI. Since that time, we have been working closely with MLB security and the FBI to the determine the party, or parties, responsible. This information was illegally obtained and published, and we intend to prosecute those involved to the fullest extent.
"It is unfortunate and extremely disappointing that an outside source has illegally obtained confidential information. While it does appear that some of the content released was based on trade conversations, a portion of the material was embellished or completely fabricated."
2:29pm: Extensive trade discussion notes, apparently logged by Astros executives about their talks with other teams, have been leaked onto the site AnonBin here and here, with Deadspin breaking the story and Yahoo's Jeff Passan verifying the authenticity of the logs. The earliest notes are from June 2013, and the latest are from March of this year. The Astros have yet to comment on the leak, which provides unprecedented detail into how the team values players and approaches trade discussions. According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the Astros have been reaching out to people around baseball apologizing for the leaks, and plan to issue a statement soon.
A March feature by Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle outlines Ground Control, the Astros' confidential internal database from which the trade discussion notes were likely taken. At this time, it's unclear whether the information reached the Internet via a rogue employee of the team, or by some kind of security vulnerability in Ground Control. The trade discussion information, mostly from last summer and offseason, is somewhat dated in the fast-moving baseball hot stove world. The larger ramification is the breach of trust experienced by the many non-Astros executives cited in the notes. It's unlikely any team would rule out the Astros as a trading partner based on this breach, but some teams could approach talks with added caution. Additionally, I imagine the many other teams with such highly sensitive material online are doubling down on security right now.
The Astros' trade notes from last summer and offseason range from the blockbuster to the mundane; here are some highlights.
- On November 15th, Astros GM Jeff Luhnow expressed interest with Marlins GM Dan Jennings in slugger Giancarlo Stanton. From the notes: "[Jennings] said he doesn't think he'll trade Stanton and the only deal he could think of from us that would work would be [George] Springer and [Carlos] Correa. [Luhnow] said that would not work. [Luhnow] posited a deal around [Jarred] Cosart and [Delino] DeShields." It's not a big surprise that Luhnow rejected Jennings' proposal out of hand, as Correa and Springer were ranked #4 and #19 on Keith Law's top 100 prospects list for ESPN, and are major building blocks for Houston. That Luhnow didn't appear to offer either player suggests he was mostly gauging Stanton's price after an off-year with three years of control remaining. UPDATE: Jennings has commented to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, saying it's fabricated that they ever offered Stanton to the Astros or any other team, also using the word "laughable."
- Interest in Astros catcher Jason Castro was strong last offseason, with a few surprising suitors. The Blue Jays and Rangers reached out in mid-October to gauge Castro's price, the White Sox had "definite high interest," and Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik told Luhnow in November that he was getting calls from other teams asking if he could get Castro from the Astros for those teams. Zduriencik offered Dustin Ackley and was turned down.
- Notes for the Astros' summer trade discussions begin at June 17th, 2013. The team ultimately went on to acquire Ronald Torreyes from the Cubs in June, and also dealt veterans Jose Veras, Bud Norris, and Justin Maxwell near the July deadline. The Astros did not end up acquiring any top 100-type prospects, but they sure did ask for the moon. For Norris, the Astros sought Kyle Crick and Clayton Blackburn from the Giants, Dylan Bundy or Kevin Gausman from the Orioles, Marcus Stroman and more from the Blue Jays, Xander Bogaerts, Allen Webster, Jackie Bradley Jr., or Garin Cecchini from the Red Sox, and Tyler Glasnow plus Luis Heredia or Nick Kingham from the Pirates. The Red Sox offered Ryan Lavarnway or Deven Marrero for Norris and were turned down. In the end, the Astros traded Norris and an international draft slot to the Orioles for L.J. Hoes, Josh Hader, and a 2014 competitive balance pick.
- When Nationals GM Mike Rizzo called to express interest in middling Astros starting pitcher Lucas Harrell, who had a 5.17 ERA at the time and nearly as many walks as strikeouts, "[Luhnow] told him we would still need a headliner like [Lucas] Giolito because we still value Harrell highly. Rizzo did not respond immediately."
Harrell was designated for assignment, outrighted, and traded for a pittance nine months later, so the Astros might have overplayed their hand. - "Untouchable" players from other teams were revealed through conversations with their executives. White Sox GM Rick Hahn wouldn't consider trading Chris Sale, Jose Quintana, Jose Abreu, or Avisail Garcia. Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos considered Brett Lawrie off-limits. Pirates outfield prospect Gregory Polanco came up as well, in that GM Neal Huntington wouldn't include him in any Norris deal. In December talks regarding Harrell, the Giants said they would not discuss Brandon Belt.
- More random notes: Mets executive Paul DePodesta asked Luhnow if the Astros would consider trading shortstop Jonathan Villar in a Daniel Murphy deal in December…the Marlins expressed interest in Jose Altuve, Matt Dominguez, and others in December.

Quick Hits: Chapman, Giants, Stroman
The Reds have announced that they have reinstated closer Aroldis Chapman from the disabled list. He will immediately move back into his usual ninth-inning role, C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer tweets. Chapman had surgery to insert a metal plate into his head after being struck with a line drive in spring training. He made two rehab appearances for Triple-A Louisville this week. Here are more notes from around the big leagues.
- Outfielder Tyler Colvin has been promoted to the Giants, Alex Pavlovic of the Mercury News tweets. Colvin had been hitting .267/.315/.408 in 130 plate appearances for Fresno. Brandon Belt, meanwhile, is headed to the disabled list with a broken thumb, and CSN Bay Area's Andrew Baggarly writes that Belt could be out six weeks. Mike Morse will be the Giants' starting first baseman until Belt returns, ESPN's Jim Bowden tweets. The Giants also activated Matt Cain and optioned pitcher George Kontos to Triple-A Fresno.
- Marcus Stroman of the Blue Jays is appearing as a reliever in his first stint in the big leagues even though he started in the minors, Ben Nicholson-Smith of SportsNet.ca notes. That's a little bit unusual for a promising starting pitcher, but it's not totally without precedent — Earl Weaver favored having rookie pitchers begin their careers in the bullpen, and the Cardinals frequently have top young starters pitch in relief in their first seasons. "We have been a very competitive team for the last ten years and we typically have had strong rotations," says Cards GM John Mozeliak. "Getting pitchers to begin their careers in the bullpen allows them to experience the major league hitters, ballparks, and experience." Mozeliak also adds that having young starters pitch in relief prevents them from becoming overworked. On the flip side, Nicholson-Smith points out, having an excellent young pitcher in the bullpen blunts his impact — having Jose Fernandez start his career in relief would have cost the Marlins wins, for example.

Blue Jays To Promote Marcus Stroman
The Blue Jays will call up right-handed pitching prospect Marcus Stroman, the team told reporters (including Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca) after tonight's loss to the Pirates. Stroman will pitch out of the bullpen for the Jays, at least at first, though he has pitched exclusively as a starter for the last two minor league seasons and there had been rumors that he was on pace to join the rotation. A corresponding move will come tomorrow, as Stroman isn't on Toronto's 40-man roster.
Stroman, who just turned 23 years old on Thursday, was taken by the Jays with the 22nd overall pick of the 2012 amateur draft. He began his pro career in ignominious fashion by serving a 50-game suspension for a PED violation, but returned to post a 3.30 ERA, 10.4 K/9 and 4.78 K/BB rate over 20 Double-A starts in 2013. The righty has been even better in five Triple-A starts this season, posting a 1.69 ERA, 12.2 K/9 and 5.14 K/BB rate over 26 2/3 IP.
This performance earned Stroman a place on several preseason prospect lists. MLB.com ranked Stroman 52nd on its list of the top 100 prospects in the game, while Baseball America ranked the righty 55th and ESPN's Keith Law ranked him 58th. The 2014 Baseball America Prospect Handbook ranked Stroman as the second-best prospect in Toronto's farm system (behind only Aaron Sanchez) and praised his 92-95 mph "heavy fastball…with above-average movement" also counted his slider and cutter as plus pitches. The knock on Stroman is his 5'9″ height, as the BA Handbook noted that "if Stroman does not defy the odds and become at least a No. 3 starter, then he could be a high-end late-game reliever."
While the Blue Jays obviously hope Stroman becomes a quality starter in the long term, late-game relief help of any sort would be a boon for a struggling Jays bullpen. Toronto relievers have a 7.45 ERA over their last 48 1/3 IP, which includes the five runs allowed by Aaron Loup and Todd Redmond over 1 2/3 IP in tonight's loss.
Stroman's minor league starts had been lined up with Dustin McGowan's starts for the Jays, leading to speculation that Stroman would take his spot in the rotation and McGowan would be moved back to the pen. The Blue Jays were also planning to go to a six-man rotation (with J.A. Happ starting) to keep their starters fresh during their current stretch of 20 consecutive games, though Brandon Morrow's injury may have shelved that plan for the time being.
If Stroman remains on the Major League roster for the remainder of the season, he will accrue 148 days of service time and be virtually assured of reaching Super Two status. (Two years and 146 days of service time has been the highest Super Two cutoff point of the last six years.) This will earn Stroman an extra year of arbitration eligibility, though Toronto still controls his rights through the 2020 season.

Blue Jays Notes: Stroman, Pearce, Buehrle
The bullpen was one of the Blue Jays' few strengths in 2013 and yet the relief corps has gotten off to a terrible start this year, Sportsnet.ca's Shi Davidi writes. Last night's blowup against the Royals was only the latest in a series of late-game meltdowns for the bullpen, which has a cumulative 5.08 ERA that ranks as the third-worst in the majors. Here's some more news from Toronto…
- Cubs scout Dave Littlefield was in Buffalo last night to watch Marcus Stroman's six no-hit innings for the Triple-A Bisons, Davidi reports. Chicago reportedly asked for both Stroman and Aaron Sanchez as part of a trade package for Jeff Samardzija in the offseason, a deal that the Jays rejected out of hand. Littlefield's presence could indicate a continued interest on the Cubs' behalf or, as Davidi notes, simple due diligence.
- Steve Pearce turned down the Jays' waiver claim on his services in order to return to the Orioles because he could receive everyday playing time in Baltimore, according to Davidi. Pearce will likely receive regular work at first base for the O's while Chris Davis is out with an oblique injury. The Blue Jays were looking at Pearce to start against left-handers as part of a DH platoon with Adam Lind.
- If the Jays aren't in contention by midseason, Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star notes that Mark Buehrle would likely have the most trade value of any Blue Jays starting pitcher. The veteran southpaw has been the Jays' best starter in 2014 and, as Griffin notes, Buehrle's consistent track record means that a trade partner knows exactly what they're getting. Moving Buehrle would also free up payroll space for the Jays — he is owed approximately $15MM over the rest of 2014 and is owed $19MM in 2015.
- Also from Griffin's piece, he interviews Jays assistant GM Tony LaCava about several prospects at all levels of Toronto's minor league system.

Prospect Notes: Draft, Astros, Stroman
In the midst of a season in which he hasn't been as dominant as many draft-watchers projected, NC State pitcher Carlos Rodon is no longer a clear favorite to be the Astros' selection with the No. 1 pick in the June draft, MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo writes. East Carolina pitcher Jeff Hoffman hasn't cemented his place at the top of the draft, either, clearing the way for California high school pitcher Brady Aiken and Texas high school pitcher Tyler Kolek to enter the picture for the top overall pick. "I think it's Kolek, being a hometown guy," says one scout, referring to who the Astros ought to pick. "Rodon has Scott Boras [as an advisor]; you're not going to get a discount there. If it comes down to Kolek and Aiken, it has to come to the guy in your backyard, especially if he's throwing 100 MPH." Here are more notes on the draft and the minors.
- Pitchers will dominate the first round of this year's draft, writes MLB.com's Jim Callis. "There could be eight or nine pitchers taken in the top 10," says an AL scouting director. "How many can go in the top 15? Twelve? Thirteen? There are so many arms. This is a deeper pool of players than last year, especially with pitchers." Aiken, Kolek, Rodon and Hoffman are likely among the Astros' top candidates for the first overall pick, perhaps along with California high school C/OF Alex Jackson, LSU pitcher Aaron Nola, NC State shortstop Trea Turner and San Francisco outfielder Bradley Zimmer.
- The Blue Jays are likely to soon promote top pitching prospect Marcus Stroman to join their rotation, and Baseball America's Vince Lara-Cinisomo has a scouting report. Stroman has good stuff despite his small size (5-foot-9), with a fastball that reaches into the mid-90s and a good slider. Stroman's workload could be a factor this season, since he only threw 111 2/3 innings in 2013.

AL Notes: Campos, Masterson, Stroman
Yankees minor-league pitcher Jose Campos had Tommy John surgery on Friday, CBS Sports' Danny Knobler tweets. Campos, of course, arrived from the Mariners prior to the 2012 season with Michael Pineda for Jesus Montero and Hector Noesi, a trade that seems to have been cursed for everyone involved. Pineda was recently suspended ten games for his pine tar incident, Montero is with Triple-A Tacoma after hitting .208/.264/.327 in 110 big-league plate appearances last season, and Noesi has been designated for assignment twice in the past month. Here are more notes from the American League.
- The Indians have been cautious with a new contract for Justin Masterson because his velocity was down in spring training, he can be inconsistent, and has imperfect mechanics, Terry Pluto of the Plain Dealer writes. That's why they balked when he asked for a three-year contract of around $53MM this offseason, preferring a deal of around $45MM instead, Pluto suggests.
- The Blue Jays have scheduled top prospect Marcus Stroman's next start for Triple-A Buffalo to coincide with that of big-league fifth starter Dustin McGowan, Shi Davidi of SportsNet.ca reports. That could indicate that the Jays might promote Stroman soon. Baseball America's Prospect Handbook 2014 names Stroman the Jays' second-best prospect (behind Aaron Sanchez) and praises the small righty's fastball, slider and athleticism. BA ranked Stroman the 55th-best prospect in baseball before the season. He currently has a 2.18 ERA with 11.3 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 in 20 2/3 innings for Buffalo.
