The UFA US College Prospects

from Tim Wharnsby of CBC,
The United States college hockey scene will raise the curtain on its post-season this weekend.
That means there will be a flurry of activity as NHL teams maneouvre to beef up the depth of their organizations with an unrestricted free-agent college player or two over the next few weeks.
This year's class is not considered as deep as the past few years. There simply isn't that true-blue chipper like Justin Schultz, who became a free agent thanks to a loophole in the old collective agreement four years after the Anaheim Ducks drafted him.
But there are two players common on most scouting lists in Western Michigan defenceman Dan DeKeyser and Nebraska-Omaha blue-liner Andrej Sustr.

Stalberg One Of The Few Europeans To Take The NCAA Route
by Paul on 12/01/12 at 12:31 PM ET
Comments (1)
from Szymon Szemberg of IIHF.com,
From U.S. college to the NHL and the World Championship – that's a route not normally taken by European players. Chicago Blackhawks' Swedish forward Viktor Stålberg is one of the very few. "For me college was getting the best from two worlds," says Stålberg to IIHF.com.
The most successful European players who have become NHL and international stars have gone the traditional way of developing at home and taking the step to the NHL when ready. There are 31 Europeans in the NHL who have played 1,000 or more NHL games and only one of them (Slovakia's Zdeno Chara) played in the Canadian junior leagues before going to the NHL. And Chara played all in all 49 games in the CHL.
Developing your skill at a NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) has never been a route of preference for Europeans and there are many reasons for it. One would be the very strict amateur rules. You don't make a penny and before you enroll you may not play even one single exhibition game on European professional level without risking forfeiting your college eligibility. Many European talents are tested on their pro teams at 17 or 18.
And there are of course academic requirements. You need to handle the language English very well, you need to pass tests and once school starts you need to commit to studying, passing exams parallel to hockey.

The Suspension Of Nic Kerdiles

from Andy Johnson of Bucky's 5th Quarter,
The University of Wisconsin men's hockey team received positive news Friday afternoon, as it was informed that the NCAA's one-year suspension of Nic Kerdiles has been reduced to 30 percent of the season.
The Badgers have a 36-game schedule, and 30 percent consists of 10 regular-season games. Kerdiles sat out two games against Northern Michigan last weekend and will be eligible to play beginning Nov. 30 at Denver....
News first broke that Kerdiles was involved in an NCAA investigation on October 6th when he was mysteriously absent from the lineup during Wisconsin's exhibition game vs the U.S. Under-18 team.
Shortly after the initial story broke, sources confirmed to Bucky's 5th Quarter that the investigation started after photos from various social media platforms surfaced involving Kerdiles and advisors from Pulver Sports.
Pulver Sports is a full-scale sports agency that specializes in the representation of hockey players. The agency is run by Ian Pulver, and some of its clients include Tyler Seguin, Nail Yakupov and Alex Galchenyuk.

College Hockey Referee Facing Serious Charges
by Paul on 10/15/12 at 01:39 AM ET
Comments (2)
from Lisa Demer and Richard Mauer of the Anchorage Daily News,
Peter Friesema, a Colorado hockey referee who officiated a game here, was checking in at Ted Stevens International Airport with a traveling companion late Saturday night. He pointed out that the Alaska Airlines ticket agent had put his sticker on his friend's luggage.
The agent, Courtney Grant, said it didn't matter since they were both traveling to the same destination. At any rate, the bags were already headed along the conveyor belt to the sorting area below.
What Friesema said next temporarily shut down the airport, forced hundreds of passengers into the cold night air, caused many to miss connections, and landed him in jail.
"But my friend's bag has a bomb in it," the agent remembers him saying, according to a charging document. He recounted it to authorities slightly differently, more to the effect of "what if my friend's bag has a bomb in it?"...
Friesema is charged with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. The FBI and state authorities are still evaluating whether to bring additional charges. Airport police had referred charges of both disorderly conduct and making terroristic threats, a felony, which can apply if a person makes a false report that causes evacuation of a building or public place
At jail court on Sunday afternoon, Friesema wore a yellow jailhouse uniform. His hands were shackled in front of him. His silvery hair was neatly cut. He looked worried and spoke so softly the magistrate, Catherine Rogers, had to ask him to speak up.

NCAA Hockey May Go To Three-Quarter Visors
by Paul on 05/04/12 at 09:49 PM ET
Comments (1)
from Adam Wodon of College Hockey News,
There are few issues that you will get every coach in college hockey to agree upon. Eliminating the mandate for full face shields is one of them.
As far back as 30 years ago, when the requirement was implemented, coaches have been against the NCAA-mandated use of full face shields. But now, for the first time, college hockey is close to eliminating the requirement.
The NCAA Ice Hockey Rules Committee is planning to formally recommend, at its June meetings in Indianapolis, that college hockey change from full shields to three-quarter visors. The recommendation will go to the NCAA's Committee of Competitive Safeguards, where college hockey will have a chance to further make its case.
Beyond that, it would need approval from a few more levels of the NCAA hierarchy, but the Competitive Safeguards committee is considered the biggest hurdle.

NCAA Hockey Championship- Boston College Faces Ferris State
by Paul on 04/07/12 at 05:00 PM ET

from Neil Koepke of NCAA.com,
The national championship game features a classic David vs. Goliath matchup.
Ferris State, the decided underdog, will try to knock off the giant, Boston College, and claim its first NCAA championship on Saturday night at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
A Bulldogs victory against the Eagles could rank as one of the greatest upsets in an NCAA title game.
Boston College is 32-10-1 overall, has won 18 consecutive games, outscored its opponents 78-21 during that stretch and has been ranked No. 1 since late February. The Eagles are seeking their third Frozen Four championship in five seasons.
FSU is 26-11-5, went 15 games (11-0-4) without a loss from early January to late February, is 4-3 in its last seven contests and has won three in a row.
Bob Daniels, Ferris State's head coach, is fine with being the underdog and believes his team has a better chance of winning than most followers give the Central Collegiate Hockey Association's regular-season champion.
"I'm sure we'll field questions on how it feels to be underdogs and I can tell you that we're fine with that. If we're the decided underdog, so be it,'' Daniels said.
continued and ESPN2 coverage begins tonight at 7:00pm ET tonight.

Members of Arkansas GOP Worry About Impact Of Darr Impeachment
With pressure mounting for Arkansas Lt. Gov. Mark Darr to resign or be removed from office over ethics violations, fellow Republicans are now wrestling with the political consequences of a prolonged impeachment fight during an election year.
Several GOP lawmakers said Thursday they're still holding out hope the lieutenant governor will reconsider his plans to stay in office, and said they're worried that questions about the Republican official's future will overshadow next month's legislative session.
The top Republican in the House, Rep. Bruce Westerman, has said he believes Darr's impeachment is inevitable if he doesn't resign.
Darr, a Republican, acknowledged to the Ethics Commission last week that he broke state ethics and campaign laws 11 times since 2010 and agreed to pay $11,000 in fines.

What version are you using? Also, you might want to check your BIOS configuration to be sure that you aren't making the drive appear to be an IDE drive instead of Sata. Have you tried another distribution (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, etc) to see if they have similar issues?
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

If the drive has been automatically mounted, the installer may not see it. In such a case, using the file manager or terminal to unmount the drive before running the installer will fix it.

Just remember back to '06... how fast was the Duke in the hands of Caparossi and Bayliss in the last round? Caparossi may of even won the '06 championship if Gibernau had not of taken him out and caused injury. 24 agree 1 disagree

Psycho. Stimulating. Speed of sound. See the town

Unsympathetic, sensational, synthetic.
Stay on your toes. Next morning, lay in your clothes.
Dominate. Terrorize. Prey on your foes.

Similar to other reports from Asian countries, the data indicates a higher male/female ratio overall for spinal cord tumors, a higher proportion of nerve sheath cell tumors, and a lower proportion of meningiomas and neuroepithelial tumors compared to reports from non–Asian countries. Data in the current study represent the characteristics of primary spinal cord tumors in Asian countries.

Exeter City have denied reports suggesting they turned down a £400,000 bid from Brighton for Ryan Harley.
Harley, who has been loaned back to Exeter until the end of the season, signed for Championship side Swansea last week on a free.
But the Grecians had come in for some criticism for allowing their biggest asset to leave for nothing amid interest from other clubs.
But City's sporting director Julian Tagg denied reports saying the club turned down a substantial bid for the player.
He told the South Wales Evening Post: "I can categorically state that is one hundred million per cent nonsense.
"It is totally not the case."

TRIBUTES continue to flood in for two friends killed in a horror crash between their car and an open top tourist bus near Stratford.
Floral tributes line Featherbed Lane, in Pathlow, where Mikey Abdou and Mike Dugmore were killed in the crash, at around 3.15pm, on Saturday (January 14).
A convoy of hundreds of cars drove to the crash site to hold a lantern-lit vigil on Sunday (January 15) to remember the men, in an outpouring of grief.
And friends and family this week paid tribute to the popular pair and described the news as 'heartbreaking' as more than 2,700 people joined a group in memory of them on Facebook.
The Ford Fiesta 19-year-old Mr Abdou was driving was involved in the smash with a sight-seeing Stagecoach bus touring the area, killing him and his 21-year-old passenger Dugmore, and injuring three people on the bus.
Medics and the air ambulance attended but nothing could be done to save the pair, who were both confirmed dead at the scene.
One touching tribute left at the scene said: "You have touched so many people's lives. Such a kind talented young man taken away too soon. Everyone will miss you - hope you will be watching over us all and we will all do you proud."
Online tributes described their deaths as 'heartbreaking' and 'devastating', while another said: "You were both so young and had more life in you to come."
And a host of tributes paid on Twitter included one from Birmingham City and England footballer, Nathan Redmond, who tweeted: "Condolences and thoughts go out to the family of Mikey Abdou who lost his life in a car accident #withgodherests."
The bus driver, a man in his 50s, suffered a fractured leg and two others who were on the bus were also injured - a man in his 50s suffered a cut to his head and a woman suffered a broken ankle.
Spokesperson for Stagecoach, Adam Rideout, confirmed the bus driver has now been released from hospital.
He said: "Our thoughts are obviously with the individuals and families involved in this tragic event.
"Safety is our absolute priority and we are assisting the police with their inquiries in whatever way we can as well as carrying out our own investigation into the incident."

NASCAR 2012 Bud Shootout Picks & Predictions
By Anthony Rome
DAYTONA BEACH, FL (The Spread) - The 2012 NASCAR season kicks off Saturday night with the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona International Speedway.
With an all-time high of 25 drivers entered in tonight's race, this event promises to be one of the most exciting Shootouts in years.
The Budweiser Shootout at Daytona has featured 19 different winners. Among active drivers, reigning champion Tony Stewart has the most wins in the event with three. Stewart scored back-to-back Budweiser Shootout victories 2001 and 2002, and visited Victory Lane again in 2007. Kurt Busch is the most recent winner of the Budweiser Shootout, while Budweiser driver Kevin Harvick has two wins in the annual season-opener with his back-to-back victories in 2009 and 2010.
NASCAR made a few changes over the short offseason to try and break up the two-by-two racing that we saw here and at Talladega. But after the preseason testing here in January, it looks like it did little to breakup the dual car racing like they hoped it would.
While everyone is glad to have NASCAR back, this isn't the race where you want to bet too much since it's not a points race. You'll see drivers taking more chances or testing out their cars for next week's Duels, so don't go overboard on a race that can be very unpredictable.
Jamie McMurray 18/1
After a dismal 2011 season, look for McMurray to want to get out to a fast start. In the 2010 Bud Shootout he finished third and then came back a year ago and placed second, so he should have the right car for this race. McMurray has always been considered one of the better plate racers and we look for him to pick up another plate race win on Saturday night.
Clint Bowyer 25/1
Bowyer has shown over the years that he has a real talent when it comes to racing here and at Talladega, where he came away with one victory and nearly came away with another on a separate date. Bowyer was very fast back in January and with the change of teams we think he might finally show people why he was once thought to be one of the top new drivers at RCR.

Amazon Goes After Oracle (Again) With New Aurora Database
Re:What's the Difference? (102 comments)
As other posters have said, there are enough features in Oracle (some of which are added cost options) to keep it (or DB2, Sybase etc) mandatory in some cases because Postgres & MySQL simply aren't up to the job.
Once you have that in play, companies will tend to standardise on one DB platform for most deployments because (a) you don't want to have to keep multiple skillsets up to date and (b) you never know when that new application will suddenly evolve into requiring feature X which MySQL doesn't support properly, possibly simply by organic data growth.
Also, in some cases, it's probably more expensive proving you can run on MySQL than it is to simply open your wallet to start the deposit for Larry's next yacht...

It took some time, but you guys responded to my request — I got some good e-mails this week (including two from outside the United States) about a variety of Patriots-related stuff, including questions if Terrence Nunn or Brandon Tate can contribute this season, the future of Joey Galloway, the state of the Pats defense and whether or not Stephen Gostkowski can set an NFL record. Keep sending your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com — we're going to do this every Wednesday, people.
On to the mail.
Hey Chris,
Do you see either Terrence Nunn or Brandon Tate having any sort of impact on the team this year? And, how do you think Gary Guyton has adjusted to the overall role as leader of the defense?
Cheers, Chris
Paul, London
A: Nice — first e-mail from overseas. I think the Patriots really like Nunn, but they see him as an unfinished product and would like him to get a year in the system before he takes any significant snaps. I see him spending the 2009 season as a practice squadder, but he could challenge for the role of third or fourth receiver next year. Consider it a redshirt season for him.
I believe that Tate may see time this season for several reasons — there is some uncertainty at the return spot, and there also is some concern about depth at wide receiver. The Patriots worked out several wideouts last week, and one of them (Chris Davis) also has some experience as a returner. Currently Tate, who injured his knee last year at the University of North Carolina, is on the non-football injury list and cannot practice or play with the team until after Week 6.
And for what its worth — if a player is shut down for the season, he doesn't talk to us. Not at all. Avoids us like the plague. For example, I've tried to talk to Tyrone McKenzie on a couple of occasions, and he's politely declined interview requests. It's clear there's no such mandate on Tate, who has talked with reporters on a couple of occasions. It's a small thing, but another point that leads me to believe he will contribute this season.
As for Guyton, he has made mistakes, but I believe he has done as well as can be anticipated. The Patriots have made things easier for him, disguising him on occasion — they played a lot of 4-2-5 in Week 2 against the Jets. He has missed a few tackles, but overall, he has done well. Going from being an undrafted free agent to making the defensive calls within two seasons is a big leap, and is one that Guyton can be proud of.
For two games, I was hesitant to praise the defense too much, since Buffalo is not considered by most to be a powerhouse, and the NYJ had a rookie QB. Yet, after the Falcons game, it seems as though NE may have an unappreciated, solid defense.
1) How long before we can state with certainty that the Patriots defense is better than advertised?
2) Were the "big names" (yet older players) on defense holding the team back, and is the team better off with the Pryors, McGowans, and Wilhites of the world?
Nova Scotia
A: Another international e-mail — the mailbag is going worldwide. Farn, I think that some of that praise can be attributed to lowered expectations. (They had so many new faces on the defense at the start of the season, it was difficult to peg how well they would do as a unit right out of the gate.) But at the same time, I do think the New England defense has played well through the first three games of the season, especially without Jerod Mayo for a sizable chunk of that time. In the last two games — against teams with a combined 5-1 record — the Patriots have allowed two touchdowns. I think you can state right now that the defense has been better than advertised.
I don't think, however, it was a case of the older guys holding them back. I think the secondary has performed better than it did last season — Brandon McGowan and Leigh Bodden have played very well. There was a point where the Patriots simply had to get younger on defense, and they had to do it without losing some oomph. It remains to be seen if the young guys will be able to pick up where the others left off, but three games in, they're off to a better-than-expected start.
Chris —
This Patriots defense has far exceeded my expectations this year. Is our defensive secondary able to hold up all year with the defensive line generating little to no pressure?
James Christensen
A: I think the defensive front hasn't been able to generate any real pressure on the opposing quarterbacks through three games. (In particular, Derrick Burgess has not performed up to expectations.) This season, opposing quarterbacks have dropped back 75 times, have been hit 12 times, and have taken six sacks. (Those numbers look even worse when you consider that two of those six sacks came at the end of the Buffalo game, when the Bills were in a must-pass situation.)
At the same time, through three games, the New England secondary has surpassed expectations, so the imbalance hasn't really been an issue. The Pats have allowed just one touchdown pass in their last two games, none of them to an opposing wide receiver. With the exception of one blown play against the Jets (a 45-yarder), they've done a nice job of limiting the big plays. And the arrival of both Leigh Bodden and Brandon McGowan have added a level of physicality to the secondary that was missing last season.
Will they be able to sustain this model? No. (Against high-powered offenses such as New Orleans and Indianapolis, they'll have to do a better job of playing complete team defense, especially when it comes to generating a sustained pass rush.) But when it comes to the secondary, it's a far cry from where they were last year.
Hi Chris,
Steve Gostkowski has been around the football quite a bit on kickoff returns, along with a fumble recovery. So far, he's recorded one tackle, and the way he plays it looks like he's not afraid to make a few more this season. Which makes me wonder — what's the NFL record for tackles by a kicker during a season?
A: I've checked this in a few different places, and the record-holder is Joe Nedney, who had eight tackles as the kicker for the Tennessee Titans in 2002. (Of course, the fact that Nedney is built like a linebacker at 6-foot-5 and 234 pounds probably didn't hurt.) According to the Patriots, Gostkowski actually has a pair of tackles on the season — one each in the first two games.
1) Do you see [BenJarvus] Green-Ellis becoming important to the team? He obviously did something to keep a roster spot, when will we see him? Is he perhaps in the long-term plans?
2) Two and three tight end sets are looking like the way to go right now. Health assumed, can we expect career years from Watson and Baker?
A: I think Green-Ellis does a great job providing depth at the running back spot. You need a young back somewhere on the depth chart, especially when you consider three of the four backs in front of him are 32 or older. When he's been called on, he has done well — he ran for 105 yards in a win over Buffalo last November. And he's also become a fairly regular presence on New England's special teams.
However, in this offense, with backs such as Fred Taylor, Laurence Maroney and Sammy Morris in front of him, I think it will always be a struggle for playing time. It's worth mentioning that he is only under contract for the 2009 season, so if he is in New England's long-term plans, something will have to be worked out down the road.
I agree that we've seen a lot of two and three tight end sets, but I think the Patriots operate out of those formations, those are run-first, pass-second offensive sets. As a result, I don't think Baker and Watson will catch too many extra passes. But at the same time, I believe those two remain great weapons in the red zone. So, while I don't think we're going to see them have career years in terms of receptions and yardage, I wouldn't be surprised if their touchdown numbers increase.
Hello Chris,
The Pats have been moving the ball well but have not been very proficient in the red zone. It seems to me that they are really tipping off defenses by going in to a shotgun formation when they're inside the 20; out of the shotgun they almost always pass and rarely run. With the success the Pats had running the ball, would you expect to see not only more run/pass balance, but also more snaps from under center? I understand the need to use the shotgun at the end of the half and end of the game, but I don't follow the reason for using it close to the goal line when receivers already have a shorter field to run their routes.
Also, Baltimore has what may be the NFL's best run defense. With that in mind, do you think the Pats will go back to passing the ball more this week? Or do you think they will try to continue with what worked against Atlanta, running out of a two-tight end formation?
Thanks for putting together the mailbag as well as your columns,
A: John, that's a great question — and I'm not just saying that because of the nice words. It was one that sent me back to the tapes of the first three weeks. Of the four red-zone touchdowns they have scored, the Patriots have been in the shotgun for two (two touchdown passes to Benjamin Watson) and Tom Brady has been under center for the other two (a pair of runs for Fred Taylor). Meanwhile, the misfires in the red zone on almost every play have come while New England has operated out of the shotgun. (This was the case almost exclusively for the first two games, while it was roughly 50-50 Sunday against Atlanta.)
All that being said, however, I don't think the fact that they were operating out of the shotgun more often than not is the reason for the Patriots' red-zone woes. There has been a distinct lack of crispness and overall execution when the offense has gotten inside the 20-yard line. There have been dropped passes, miscommunication and bad penalties that all have contributed to the fact that the Patriots are just 4-for-13 in the red zone through three games.
I do think that New England will pass the ball this week — the Ravens are the best team in the league at stopping the run. If the Patriots do run the ball, they will run some draws and maybe a reverse or two to try to negate Baltimore's aggressiveness and tendency to overpursue.
Hello Chris,
A lot of Pats fans are talking about Joey Galloway, saying he was a mistake and should be cut, etc. Personally, I'm of the opinion that some of those missed passes were either bad passes (such as the one in the end zone against the Jets) or Brady not having enough time (the last play of the game against the Jets, for example.)
What's your opinion? Do you think the Patriots should have kept [Greg] Lewis, [Jabar] Gaffney or {Kelley] Washington instead? Are fans overreacting, or is Galloway's play as really as bad as some make it out to be? At what point would Belichick take Galloway off the field and replace him with [Terrence] Nunn, [Matthew] Slater or a second tight end due to lack of confidence in him?
Thank you,
Hugh Culverhouse
A: This probably isn't the Hugh Culverhouse I'm thinking of, but nonetheless, it's good to hear from South Florida. Galloway is a mystery — he clearly is not on the same page as Brady. You are correct when you say that some of that miscommunication is the fault of the quarterback. In addition, it can be very difficult for a new receiver to come into the New England offense.
But Galloway also shares a large part of that blame. It's not like he was just dropped in here a week before the start of the season. He's had plenty of time to get up to speed on things. I've said this before, but for me, Galloway reminds me of what John Smoltz went through with the Red Sox: He's a classy veteran who still has something left, and came to New England in hopes of making a run at a championship. But the acclimation process to a new team/offense hasn't gone smoothly at all. I don't see them pulling the plug on Galloway, but at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised to see Julian Edelman or Sam Aiken get more time at the receiver spot.
As for the others, I still think that Jabar Gaffney would have been a better fit in this offense. The Greg Lewis release still puzzles me — Belichick confessed in training camp that he had tried to land Lewis for several years. However, I don't think Washington would have made much of a difference — he's played well this season in Baltimore, but at this stage of his career, he was far more valuable as a special teamer than a wide receiver.
Even with all the struggles he's had through the first three weeks, Galloway is on pace for 35-40 catches, which would compare favorably to the work of the No. 3 receivers that Patriots have had the last two seasons (Gaffney had 38 in 2008, and Donte Stallworth had 46 in 2007).
Against the Falcons, Bill Belichick went with Myron Pryor rather than Ron Brace after Vince Wilfork sprained his ankle. What is your take on that? Was it a case of Pryor matching up better against the Falcons than Brace? Pryor having practiced better and passing Brace on the depth chart? Maybe Belichick trying to motivate Brace to work harder? I was pleased with Pryor's play but surprised to see him in there rather than Brace.
Also, any clue yet on how long Wilfork will be sidelined? When he's out should we expect Pryor to continue to be the first off the bench, ahead of Brace?
A: I agree with you — I love Brace, and actually picked him to be my Pats Rookie of the Year. However, Pryor played well on Sunday, and everyone had encouraging things to say about his performance after the game. Director of player personnel Nick Caserio was asked about the Brace/Pryor question in his weekly conference call on Tuesday, and said: "The way the game was going, there might have been a little bit more of a role for Myron," which leads me to believe it may have been a matchup issue.
All reports indicate that Wilfork's ankle injury is not serious, but at the same time, I don't think the signing of Terdell Sands earlier this week is an isolated incident. If Wilfork is out for any sustained length of time — and assuming Sands can pick up the scheme quickly — I wouldn't be shocked to see Sands and a combination of Pryor and Brace at defensive tackle.
Richard Sherman has been talked about all week along with Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor and all the big named Seattle defensive players - how do the Pats attack such a talented group? Price says perhaps LaFell or Amendola underneath or on screens...or do the Pats try to run the ball more? The guys discuss the best way to use Gronk today and what Seattle will do to negate him. Steve and Chris say they won't do anything different than they normally do aka double team Gronk.
Greg, DeOssie and Price discuss how Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch will look to attack the versatile Pats D. Can the Pats contain Wilson and not let him attack with the read/option?
Greg get's Steve and Chris' perspective on the events and parties of the week. They both think Arizona is a great site for the game. Then the guys get into the historic perspective on this SB and if the Seahawks are the best opponent the Pats have ever faced in this game.

As a player, former hurler Jim Bouton did nothing half-way; he threw so hard he'd lose his cap on almost every pitch. In the early '70s, he tossed off one of the funniest, most revealing, insider's takes on baseball life in Ball Four, his diary of the season he tried to pitch his way back from oblivion on the strength of a knuckler. The real curve, though, is Bouton's honesty. He carves humans out of heroes, and shines a light into the game's corners. A quarter century later, Bouton's unique baseball voice can still bring the heat.

If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
My name is Cooper and I am a recent graduate of University of South Carolina. In addition to obtaining my B.S. in Environmental Engineering, I am a diehard sports fan and an avid golfer.
Growing up, math was always relatively fun for me. Numbers, patterns and sequences came naturally, and I could always see the "WHY" behind the principles being explained in class. After two years as a peer tutor in college I realized that the math that confused so many of my fellow students just needed to be explained the way that I saw it. There are many different schools of thought pertaining to mathematics and students nowadays are forced to learn the method that works best for their teachers mind, and not their own! My approach to teaching and learning is "Do what works for your mind". I spend the first session with a student getting to know their methods of inductive and deductive reasoning so that I can better tailor my lessons to each student's unique learning style. I have never met a student I couldn't help and have typically seen improvements a whole letter grade or more!
As a tutor I am 100% committed to your child's success! I use my knowledge and experience to help your student thoroughly understand and become more confident in their problem solving abilities.
Cooper is an amazing tutor- reliable, patient and very capable. He also takes the time to really prepare for the sessions and review any necessary school materials. My son has ADD. Cooper helped him focus in on the key strategies that work best with his learning style. My son really enjoyed working with Cooper too, so the process wasn't a chore. Although we used Cooper for regular school tutoring, our primary need was in preparing for the ACT test. My son had an amazing improvement in his score after working with Cooper. I would highly recommend Cooper.
My son, a high school freshman, had been struggling with math for a while. Cooper has been tutoring him since the beginning of the school year and we have seen an improvement. My son understands the material better, and this has highly impacted his grades. His grades have gone up. We are very pleased with the results.
Our twins really liked Cooper. I liked his approach to the tutoring session. It was only the 1st session, so I will have more to say later. He was on time and very pleasant.
Cooper was impressive right from the start. He made himself available to the 4-5 days a week we needed help in preparing for the GED. As an adult taking the GED, there was a great deal to re-learn in a very short amount of time. Another tutor wouldn't take our assignment, said it was unrealistic to pass with just 3-4 weeks to prepare. Cooper came in with a 'can do' attitude, was very organized bringing his knowledge learned about the test, best ways to prepare, practice materials, created homework assignments, he sat and walked me through everything, sometimes over and over again until I got it. Above all he was very patient, friendly, we laughed, he made the whole experience tolerable. I wouldn't have passed the test without his dedication to helping me. I highly recommend Cooper for anyone of any age.
So happy we found this smart and warm young man. In a single lesson, my son's knowledge and confidence sharply increased. Thank you!
My son and my son's friend both enjoyed having Cooper as their tutor. He was able to make students refresh their memory and was able to keep boys focused and made it fun to learn.
Very Patient and calm. Helped my daughter with a new understanding of algebra. She had trouble with tests and he gave her practice tests which gave her greater confidence in the classroom, and she is now passing algebra. Last year she failed pre-algebra. This has been the best move we've made with her education.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have been playing golf since I could walk. Throughout high school and college, I worked as a caddie at the local golf course. I also played varsity golf in high school and was on the club golf team at South Carolina. In addition to playing experience, I have given private lessons for the last two years to people I have caddied for. I am a 3 handicap.

Excellent stay in middle of the best hunting area
This was our second stay at this beautiful cottage on the lake. Had a good stay in the middle of the best hunting area. The renter was very hospitable and will stay there again. By the way the Shapleigh Corner Store is the best place to eat in Maine, you need to try.
Our Maine Stay
We had a wonderful time during our week vacation in Maine. The home is set up so that two separate but related families could enjoy the same property. It has a great sandy beach and swimming area, the dock is perfect for fishing. The property is ideal for picnicking and has lots of seating areas for enjoying the views of the lake inside and out. We are native Mainers but now live out of state, and had lots of local company all week, it was ideal for us.
Spacious, Relaxing Home on Square Pond.
Property is clean, modern and spacious. We had a group of 20, 12 adults and 8 kids over the New Years Holiday and space was not an issue. The kids turned the downstairs game room into there space, which left the beautiful scenic upstairs to the adults. Waking up in the morning, sitting in a leather recliner drinking coffee looking out onto the frozen pond watching planes take off was so relaxing. We cooked, ate, drank and enjoyed each others company. One night we booked a sleigh ride over in Kennebunk (rockin stables) about a 40 min ride which allowed the kids to finally sleep. Well worth the trip! The property is fantastic and the family that owns the property couldn't be nicer! We fully intend to rent through them in the future.
