Ryan Zimmerman helped spur the Nationals' early rallies.
Game in a nutshell: In the matinee makeup for Tuesday's rainout, the Nationals stormed out to an early 5-0 lead with a flurry of base hits off the previously unbeaten Doug Fister. That provided some cushion for Dan Haren, who didn't seem to need it early but ultimately benefited from it after he served up a three-run homer in the sixth. That put the pressure on the Nationals' bullpen to close out what turned into a one-run game, and that unit delivered with flying colors. Ryan Mattheus pitched a scoreless seventh, Drew Storen tossed a scoreless eighth and Rafael Soriano got Prince Fielder to fly out to the warning track in center with two outs in the ninth to notch his 12th save in 13 tries. With that, the Nationals pulled off a two-game sweep of Detroit and earned their fourth straight win overall, improving to 19-15.
Hitting highlight: The Nationals wasted no time pouncing on Fister. Five of their first six batters recorded base hits, with DenardRead more »

Two straight from the AL champs!That's pretty impressive. GYFNG!
- NatsJack in Florida - May 9, 2013 at 11:01 PM
Great job by the bull pen. Mattheus, Drew and the Assassin. Love those guys.

SWM…under pants or diapers?
- Section 222 - May 9, 2013 at 11:03 PM
Now that was a sweet ending. Untuck indeed.Mark, you're probably on the road already, but the Nats lead was 3-0 and then 5-1. Hey folks, a mini sweep of the defending AL Champs. We'll take it!
- Harpo - May 9, 2013 at 11:04 PM
I really thought Prince got that one onto the putting green in CF.Each reliever was aggressive and that's how you have to do it.Haren gets the W.
- David Proctor - May 9, 2013 at 11:06 PM
Nats bullpen has pitched 15 straight scoreless innings now. Things are shaping up nicely. Just need to continue getting the bats warm. Zim is heating up, but would like to see his power return.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 9, 2013 at 11:06 PM
Have everyone joind my side yet? i was excited about getting Span right fron the beginning.
- David Proctor - May 9, 2013 at 11:08 PM
I love Span, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous every time he's on first base. He's "only" been picked off twice, but it still worries me.Still love the pickup though, for sure.
- NatsJack in Florida - May 9, 2013 at 11:10 PM
Manassas….there is only maybe 2 who really don't like the fact that Span is here.Most of Nats fans understood what his acquisition was all about and couldn't be happier.
- David Proctor - May 9, 2013 at 11:12 PM
Nats are 4-0 since Davey's team meeting in Pittsburgh. They've won 6 of their last 7 against the Braves, Pirates and Tigers.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 9, 2013 at 11:13 PM
i knew Davey would butcher Matt Tuisasosopo's name.
- natsfan1a - May 9, 2013 at 11:16 PM
Hello, Insiders. Just got back in town after a trip to Hawaii. No baseball there (other than a few innings of a televised Giants game) but a few other things to see and do.After unpacking, tuned in to see the last couple innings of the Nats game. Am now unpacked and untucked. Oh, yeah…
- Jeff Wang - May 9, 2013 at 11:16 PM
1 of Span's pick off he didn't get tagged. I blame the blues.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 9, 2013 at 11:17 PM
NatsJack. now 2 but at the time many more didnt like.NatsJack. Big Cat tells you were a catcher a generation befor Big Cat were in high school at the same high school. If so you caught a future major league pitcher.
- baseballswami - May 9, 2013 at 11:20 PM
Nice, quiet, not flashy streak going on here. Shhh. Do not alert the national media. Things are better this way.
- baseballswami - May 9, 2013 at 11:23 PM
So Haren is pretty funny!
- tayo - May 9, 2013 at 11:24 PM
Good win, even though we had luck on our sides today. Saying that the Tigers lineup is scary is an understatement. Lets keep up the momentum.
- Eric - May 9, 2013 at 11:25 PM
"Nice, quiet, not flashy streak going on here. Shhh. Do not alert the national media. Things are better this way."Uh. Greed.
- Steady Eddie - May 9, 2013 at 11:28 PM
Manassas — you must have the LoD confused with NI regulars. For the latter, NatsJack's recollection is correct. I was mostly excited about Span from the start as a real lead off hitter with a high OBP, an ingredient that's essential to a winning team that's balanced enough to win in whatever way the game allows. What I didn't expect is that he'd be such a freakin' effortless vacuum cleaner in CF whose reads and routes are the best on the team. And that he covers so much ground in CF that Werth and Harp can shade so far towards the line that they can turn sure doubles into singles with a quick cutoff as Bryce did on Jackson's drive in the 7th last night, right in front of where I was sitting.
- paul brandt - May 9, 2013 at 11:29 PM
Haren has 4 wins and its May 9th. the guy he replaced, Ejax had 10 all of last year…so far, so good. Realize there are much more stats to compare the two, but am pleased with the 4 wins. Wins are wins!
- NatsJack in Florida - May 9, 2013 at 11:29 PM
Manassas… not sure what you mean but Tom Bradley and I grew up together and I caught him all through high school.
- baseballswami - May 9, 2013 at 11:31 PM
I have been so focused on my daily baseball angst. Now I look back– Reds, Braves, Pittsburgh, Tigers. Not a cakewalk. Reds and Tigers and Braves, oh, my! Not too shabby my friends. Not too shabby. Kind of worried about the Jayson thing. Sickness, dehydration, cramps, antibiotics– this does not sound like your garden variety stomach bug. I have never actually heard if anyone getting antibiotics for their stomach. That's kind of an infection thing. Very weird.
- NatsJack in Florida - May 9, 2013 at 11:41 PM
Imagine that. Dan Haren with 4 wins on May 9th.
- Gonat - May 9, 2013 at 11:43 PM
Back from the game! I was there with Jahidi White who is in town this weekend. When the rain storm started we went up to get some food. Funny all the people that wanted his autograph and most had no idea who he was but knew he was someone who played something.Great game. Nats have now won the season series against the Tigers and the Reds. The Braves will be a work in progress to get the upper hand on that season series.We thought Bernadina's bunt just got in Fister's head. He wasn't right after that.
- NatsJack in Florida - May 9, 2013 at 11:46 PM
Watching Mets/Rays and man, did the Blue Jays get hosed on the Dickey trade.
- Eric - May 9, 2013 at 11:47 PM
So… Yeah… Braves kick off against San Fran a few hours… Fingers crossed! Would love to wake up tomorrow only 1 back…
- Gonat - May 9, 2013 at 11:48 PM
NatsJack in Florida said… Watching Mets/Rays and man, did the Blue Jays get hosed on the Dickey trade. ________________________You mean Blue Jays/Rays and yes, I think that the Mets are quietly smiling like they had a bad feeling on Dickey.
- NatsJack in Florida - May 9, 2013 at 11:49 PM
But he does have a GREAT pick off move that he needs to teach Stras, Jordan, Storen, T-Clip, and Mattheus.
- NatsJack in Florida - May 9, 2013 at 11:50 PM
Yes, Blue Jays?Rays.
- A DC Wonk - May 9, 2013 at 11:52 PM
Let's have some extra love for Mattheus today. Six days without pitching, comes in to face the dangerous 2-3-4 guys — gets the first two, gives up a single to #4 (Fielder) but then retires #5 in two pitches.
- NatsJack in Florida - May 9, 2013 at 11:52 PM
Funny because I'm flipping between Mets/Pirates and Blues Jays/Rays.
- NatsJack in Florida - May 9, 2013 at 11:58 PM
Tip of the hat to Ray Knight today who said in the Pre-game Show when Johnny Holliday said "Fister is undefeated at 4-0" Ray said "Not after today".
- NatsJack in Florida - May 10, 2013 at 12:00 AM
When Ryan Mattheus throws his power sinker and his slider down, he's virtually unhittable.
- LoveDaNats - May 10, 2013 at 12:09 AM
I've got nothing to say. Just happy!
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 10, 2013 at 12:12 AM
i loved watching Span andcRevere play center and right last years. Twins covered lots of ground there.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 10, 2013 at 12:15 AM
that is exactly what I meant. My sister was class of 63 and I walked up to the school and watched the games. loved watching Tom Bradley. I was in second grade and was president of the Wally Brown fan club. rightfielder.He talked to us little kids all the time.
- Gonat - May 10, 2013 at 12:19 AM
Nats are on a 91 win pace now.
- TimDz - May 10, 2013 at 12:19 AM
Gonat….The Nats still play two in Detroit….They can still split…
- Gonat - May 10, 2013 at 12:23 AM
TimDz, thanks for the correction. I didn't realize that.
- MicheleS - May 10, 2013 at 12:24 AM
Jack, is Taylor Jordan the one you said to be on the look out for?
- NatsJack in Florida - May 10, 2013 at 12:29 AM
Yep. Taylor Jordan and Robbie Ray.
- MicheleS - May 10, 2013 at 12:32 AM
Cool..thanks.. saw that Jordan was bumped up to AA.
- NatsJack in Florida - May 10, 2013 at 12:40 AM
Taylor is the next Jordan Zimmerman.
- NatsNut - May 10, 2013 at 12:47 AM
These wins feel like the Boston sweep did last year. As in, dang, I think this team really can hang with the big dogs (or cats, in this case).
- NatsJack in Florida - May 10, 2013 at 12:49 AM
NatsNut…….this team IS a big dog.
- Gonat - May 10, 2013 at 12:52 AM
Rendon having another big night. 2-3 w/ a double, walk, RBI, run scored
- sjm308 - May 10, 2013 at 1:01 AM
Hey everyone!! Still battling my stomach virus. If Werth has what I am dealing with I am surprised he is even in the dugout.Got to read lots of comments on lots of posts. I still skip the in-game stuff but I just wanted to let Eric know what a breath of fresh air he is. Yes, I actually read some Peric way down where he is still beating the drum for Tyler. Now don't get me wrong, I want Tyler Moore to do well but its just silly right now. Peric – span will not be on the bench, neither will LaRoche. Just find a new mantra and like Eric, we will beware the bold (what a joke).Had to laugh at our boy Bobby Carpenter today on TV. He has always had a hard time calling where the baseball might land. Lots of excitement for popups and sometimes he has no idea a ball is going out. Today he actually missed the call on the weather. They came back from break and he starts going on about the sun coming out and no more rain and then, what do you know – its a total downpour. At least he is consistent.Great win and our bullpen is just so solid right now. Haren with 4 wins makes me happy. I realize that lots of you use all kinds of stats and percentages and letters and numbers to prove who is best. Guess what? The team with the most runs wins! Haren is doing what LannEn did in years past. He just wins. I love it.Go Nats!!
- SonnyG10 - May 10, 2013 at 1:01 AM
I thought it was really cool when Ryan Mattheus struck out Cabrera with that splitter, Cabrera looked at Ryan with a slight smile and you could read his lips saying "you got me".
- baseballswami - May 10, 2013 at 1:01 AM
34 games– how many of those games do you guess we have had our ideal offensive lineup? I am guessing not many. I just keep thinking if we could ever just have everyone in the right place for a few games…….
- TimDz - May 10, 2013 at 1:02 AM
NatsJack,What do you see in Taylor Jordan?I don't have any idea who he is….
- Candide - May 10, 2013 at 1:23 AM
Was looking at the scoreboard, and I mentioned to Older Nephew, "Hey, Haren's ERA is finally under 5!" (was 4.50).O.N. says, "Don't say that."The very next pitch Tonawonadingdong hits a 3-run shot.Sorry, everyone.Fun game, though. One thing bothered me: When Moore ran a long way for that foul pop and it dropped out of his glove, he tossed the ball into the stands, and whoever caught it threw it back. Didn't like that one bit. From where we were sitting, I couldn't tell if the round of booing that followed was directed at the fan or at Moore. I certainly hope not Moore. No, he's not a great fielder, but it was a tough play, and he didn't deserve to get booed for it.
- MicheleS - May 10, 2013 at 1:25 AM
Candide.. From what I saw on twitter from the person that threw the ball back was a tigers fan and Nats fans were giving him hades about it
- SonnyG10 - May 10, 2013 at 1:27 AM
Hope he got ejected from the park for throwing something on the field.
- Candide - May 10, 2013 at 1:28 AM
Thanks MicheleS. Good.
- JaneB - May 10, 2013 at 1:32 AM
I woulda kept in Roger instead of Tyler today. I'm so happy we have Mattheus. And that we beat the Tigers. I will say I am one of the ones who was unhappy we got Span. Not that it matters. I'm finally loving Soriano, and I was mad about that originally. So far I love 24 of the guys. One day I'll quit blaming Span for no more Mikey. I know I really ought to blame Rizzo, but there you have it.
- A DC Wonk - May 10, 2013 at 1:46 AM
FWIW, Mikey is down to .226; and in his last 17 games (dating back to Apr 18) in 71 plate appearances his hitting .185
- rmoore446 - May 10, 2013 at 1:46 AM
Nice that Ryan Z.,and LaRoche came through today despite all the chatter about their fading skills. One day, true, but a nice day. And hasn't there been some talk earlier this season about what a bad move it was getting Span? Not much in the field and a slap hitter, wasn't it? Lately, he's looking like a very valuable player. Bernadina contributed as well. Only cousin Tyler failed in his one chance but I have faith in him down the road. The guy is a horse and once day we will enjoy the ride.
- Joe Seamhead - May 10, 2013 at 1:56 AM
Can't give Moore to hard of a time for dropping the foul ball. He covered a lot of ground and, for him, if he had hung on it would've been a heck of a play. That said, I honestly think every other outfielder on the team makes the catch. I understood Davey's logic in pinch hitting for Shark, but I didn't like it because of the potential dropoff in defense. That could have blown up in Davey's face, but it didn't. Johnson is uncanny sometimes. I'll be glad when Werth is back. Other observations from today: Maybe the stats don't give Haren a "quality start" as Mark says, but I thought that he pitched a gutsy game against a heck of a great lineup, and as was said earlier, a win's a win. He is a good back of the rotation guy.The team overall is starting to really start not just playing better, but with more self confidence. You see that they have cast away the demons from two weeks ago.Ryan and Adam are waking up. Hope some stats get padded against the Cubs staff.Other than the bonehead non-doubleplay on Haren's toss to 2nd, Desi and Espy looked like a middle infield on a championship team.Span is just terrific in CF. And I don't want to start a big argument, but he is, in my opinion, the overall best defensive centerfielder we've had. No, his arm isn't in the same breath as Ankiel's but I don't think that Rick ever get the jumps, or ran as great of routes that Denard does. Again, my opinion. He has had some baserunning guffaws, but he is showing that he is capable of being the best leadoff hitter since the Nats got to DC. Soriano is just a treat.GYFNG!!!
- A DC Wonk - May 10, 2013 at 1:59 AM
LaRoche: six game hitting streak, during which, in 24 plate appearances has 9 hits and 6 walks – and OBP of .625 (and BA of .529)Thanks, Chipper!
- A DC Wonk - May 10, 2013 at 2:02 AM
Seamhead wrote: Span is just terrific in CF. And I don't want to start a big argument, but he is, in my opinion, the overall best defensive centerfielder we've had.Yep. See my comments after game #2 (my first in-person game this year). I was blown away by how Span covered huge ground by gliding. And I learned — once again — that you can see things in person that you can't see on TV. How much ground Span covers is one of those things that you have to see in person to fully appreciate how much it is.
- Dominats Vobiscum - May 10, 2013 at 2:05 AM
Today he actually missed the call on the weather. They came back from break and he starts going on about the sun coming out and no more rain and then, what do you know – its a total downpour.He had that call exactly right. The rain stopped, the inning ended, I left my seat to use the mens room, and when I came back the sun was out and nothing but blue skies above. I got to my seat and…downpour. Still nothing but blue skies above. It kept raining for several minutes while the field was bathed in sunshine. Today was a total WTF weather day.
- Joe Seamhead - May 10, 2013 at 2:19 AM
I wish Tyler Moore nothing but good luck. I'm not sure where you can hide him to get his bat in the lineup. In leftfield he reminds me of Willingham, a converted catcher that was never a very good outfielder. He was passible, at best, and has flourished much better in the AL.
- baseballswami - May 10, 2013 at 2:19 AM
Tyler Moore is not an outfielder. He is a first baseman. Think you could stick Adam out there and he would make that play?? How about Prince? It's just a shame to see a promising young player on this path. Not saying there is an easy answer. He is well and truly blocked and Chris Marrero is raking. Just very unfortunate.
- Eric - May 10, 2013 at 3:20 AM
Thanks for the shout, sjm.
- Sec. 3, My Sofa - May 10, 2013 at 4:36 AM
Seconding sjm … thanks Eric.
- Drew - May 10, 2013 at 6:38 AM
Tim Dz:Taylor Jordan was a 9th round pick in 2009 out of Miami Dade.He was having a promising year at Hagerstown in 2011, going 9-4 with a 2.48 ERA, when the Nats shut him down and he had TJ surgery.He spent 2012 in recovery and made a few starts.He entered this year as the Nats' No. 17 prospect and got off to a good start at Potomac, going 2-1 with a 1.26 ERA.
- Candide - May 10, 2013 at 9:42 AM
I don't see how Moore stays in DC; he seems to be well and truly blocked here. Unfortunate, but I think he ends up in the AL as a DH. Hope the Nats can get some real value for him.
- baseballswami - May 10, 2013 at 9:57 AM
I wish he could get a first base job somewhere as I think he plays that position well for his she and could be a good one in the future. He and Lombo are languishing on the vine.
- TimDz - May 10, 2013 at 2:05 PM
Thanks Drew…
- JamesFan - May 10, 2013 at 3:47 PM
Denard Span is the unsung hero of the early season. The guy was sensational in centerfield yesterday and day in and day out. He is a terrific leadoff man and brings a competent maturity to the team. One of my favorite players in 2013.

Video Roundup: Earth Day
Every year, Earth Day is celebrated on April 22nd––and this year is its 45th anniversary. Celebrate in your classroom with any of these wonderful videos found on YouTube, fitting for a variety of grade levels. 1. Earth Days (2009) - Full Movie Source: za700 Grade Level: 3-12 Run Time: 1:51:08 Description: A PBS documentary detailing the history of the environmental movement in the United States. The film reviews the development of the modern environmental movement—from the post-war 1950s and the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson's bestseller Silent Spring, to the successful Earth Day celebration in 1970. YouTube offers the full length feature. Green Factor: Earth Days premiered on US television April 19 2010 as part of the American Experience series on PBS, and has since been an educational staple for learning about the environmental movement. 2. What is Earth Day? The History Source: Rob Nelson Films Grade Level: 5–12 Run Time: 2:55 Description: A compact and brief run through of the history of Earth Day, and how it became a nationally recognized day to honor the environment. Did you know the creation of Earth Day inspired the beginning of the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as a number of other environmental protection acts? Green Factor: This video runs through the reasons why our society has set aside a day to learn about environmental issues. 3. The Earth Day Rap Source: Bob Lacerino Grade Level: 6-12 Run Time: 3:25 Description: Written and performed by South Florida Science teacher Mike Olesko (aka Rapmaster Olee), this original rap is intended to inspire middle and high school students to do their part to "Save The Planet". Green Factor: This song is a catchy and funny way to inspire students to participate in Earth Day. 4. 96 Elephants: An Earth Day Moment of Zen Source: Wildlife Conservation Society Grade Level: K-12 Run Time: 1:36 Description: A video of adorable, happy, healthy elephants living their lives to the fullest! What could be better than that? Green Factor: This video is sponsored by 96elephants.org, a non-profit organization dedicated to elephant welfare. It could inspire students to want to learn more about getting involved with animal rights and other environmental concerns. 5. If You're A Kid… (Earth Day Remix) Source: Harry Kindergarten Mix Grade Level: K Run Time: 2:36 Description: A catchy, danceable animated music video for young children to encourage them and help them learn about what it means to "go green." Green Factor: This song is a great way to start younger students on learning about environmental issues. Encourage them to dance and sing along, and share their ideas on what it means to be "green."

Video Roundup: Earth Day
Video Roundup: Art History Resources
Teaching art at any level should far exceed the techniques used to create works of art. It should extend to a history lesson of the originators of such techniques and the time periods and conditions that inspired them. Here are some resources found on YouTube and on the Metropolitan Museum of Art's MetMedia section. 1. Innocents Abroad: Nineteenth-Century American Painters In Europe Series Source: Metropolitan Museum of Art Grade Level: 6-12 Run Time: 1:04:01, 1:02:16 1:02:54 Description: A comprehensive three-part series of 19th-century American painters who journeyed to Europe to learn about art and draw inspiration. The series was recorded in 2014. Part 2, Part 3. 2. Birth of a Dynasty Source: PBS Grade Level: 9-12 Run Time: 55:23 Description: Students will learn how a wealthy Florentine Banker Cosimo dé Medici played a part in the Renaissance in terms of the patronage of art and the overall development of Florence. 3. Vincent Van Gogh for Children: Biography for Kids Source: FreeSchool YouTube Channel Grade Level: 4-9 Run Time: 4:12 Description: For the younger audience, Free School has created a very to the point video about the life of Vincent Van Gogh and his most famous pieces. Students will learn about one of the most famous artists in history in a condensed package. Article by Navindra Persaud, Education World Contributor

Ways to Say Thanks: Teacher Appreciation Week Crafts
As Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-8) approaches, get a head start on brainstorming ideas on how to make teachers feel special. Thank You Cards Nothing says thank you like a thoughtful and homemade thank you card. Free Templates: If you're looking for something quick and easy to accompany your appreciation gift, check out these printable templates that can be easily personalized by a touch from your child. For a Favorite: Make your teacher feel special by having your child answer and write out responses to prompts below. Use the sweet answers to make a thank you card your teacher won't forget. What I will never forget about Mr./Ms. Teacher: What Mr./Ms.Teacher taught me this year What I will miss most about Mr./Ms. Teacher Sweet Treats A great way to show appreciation is with easy-to-make and yummy-to-taste goodies like these. Oreo Apple Pops: This super simple, inexpensive and adorable recipe craft is destined to be a hit in the classroom and loved by your appreciated teacher. All it requires is: Mini Oreos, red candy melts, Airheads, pretzel sticks, and toothpicks. Follow the instructions in the link to be on your way to making these treats. Trail Mix Favor: Learn how to make layered-trail mix favors using small or large mason jars that are personalized with fun fabrics. The trail mix looks better if you make your own by buying trail mix staples separately like mini M&Ms, dried fruit and nuts and granola and layering it yourself. It's so easy, you can show your appreciation for the whole class! Other Ideas Thank You Tote: A perfect, simple way to put your thank you note and appreciation supplies, in one spot. Using a simple tote like, for instance, a plastic shower caddy that can be found at stores like Walmart and Target, separate your goodies with the different compartments. Use ribbon and string to add a personal and cutesy touch. Basket of Puns: If you're a jokester, this is a great way for you and your child to send a light-hearted token of appreciation to your teacher. Put these together in a bundle and let the puns roll. Note: not the best gift for a teacher on a diet. I'm 'Cert'ainly Thankful for You!: Use the printable tag available here, some ribbon if you're feeling fancy, and a package of Certs. Have I Told you 'Reese'ntly?: Get a piece of paper and a Reese's peanut butter cup and ask you teacher, "Have I told you Reesently how much I appreciate you?" You Are a 'FANTA'stic Teacher!"- Use the printable tags and get a bottle of Fanta for this one. You Are All That and a Bag of Chips; We Appreciate 'Dew!': This pun is a two-fer. The site offers an awesome printable card, and all you need is a bag of chips and a bottle of mountain dew. Compiled by Nicole Gorman, Education World Contributor 04/17/2015

Drug Free Communities Grant Initiatives, 2015
Through DFC funding, we are increasing our efforts to build community collaboration and reduce youth substance use. The following initiatives are currently underway. The DFC plan/initiatives will expand through the five-year duration of the grant.
Youth alcohol use reduction
Reduce grade ten 30-day alcohol use as measured by the CTC Youth Survey from the 2012 measure of 32.6% to 25% by spring of 2018.
- Reduce access to alcohol by continuing Reward and Reminder compliance checks for retailers licensed for off-premise sales, and expand program to on-site sellers in order to achieve 90% or better compliance rate across outlets by September 29, 2015.
- Reduce access to alcohol by conducting "Sticker Shock" campaign in stores selling alcohol.
- Change physical design of local stores by having youth groups petition stores to make liquor aisles less visible.
- Reduce access to alcohol by conducting substance access surveys in Five Town schools.
- Provide information to increase 2018 measures of 10th grade youth perception of risk of alcohol use (as measured by the CTC Youth Survey) from the 2012 level of 68.1% to at least 80% in 2018 by working with medical community to ensure that consistent, accurate messages about risks associated with youth alcohol use reach adolescent patients and parents of youth <25.
- Change consequences for underage alcohol use by working with local law enforcement to promote the existence of newly created KTip anonymous tip line for the Five Town community in order to increase preemptive public reporting of underage parties to law enforcement by 15%.
- Modify/change policies of local law enforcement efforts by incorporating "party patrols" comprised of local volunteers trained and able to help county law enforcement in order to increase the number of days that patrols utilizing volunteers and/or law enforcement are in action in the community.
- Change consequences for parental responsibility regarding underage alcohol use by increasing awareness and enforcement of Maine's already existing social host ordinance.
- Change consequences for teens employed by local businesses through delivery of the Businesses That Care program (Beta tested in 2013) to supervisors of at least ten area companies that routinely employ adolescent workers so that supervisors can increase bonding with adolescent employees and more effectively discourage use of alcohol by their adolescent employees (by September 29, 2015).
- Enhance access to existing community prevention programs aligned with Coalition priorities.
Youth marijuana use reduction
Reduce grade ten 30-day marijuana use as measured by the CTC Youth Survey from the 2012 measure of 25.7% to 20% by spring of 2018.
- Provide information to increase measures of perception of risk of marijuana use (as measured by the CTC Youth Survey) for youth in grade ten from the 2012 level of 50.4% to at least 70% in 2018 by working with the local medical community to ensure that consistent, accurate messages about the risks associated with youth marijuana use reach adolescent patients and patients who are parents of children 25 and under.
- Change consequences for underage marijuana use by working with local law enforcement to develop and coordinate effective anonymous tip lines for the Five Town community in order to increase preemptive public reporting of underage parties to law enforcement by 15%.
- Change consequences for underage marijuana use by coordinating local volunteers trained and able to help county law enforcement with "party patrols" in order to increase the number of days that patrols utilizing volunteers and/or law enforcement are in action in the community.
- Change consequences for teens employed by area businesses through delivery of the Businesses That Care program (Beta tested in 2013) to supervisors of at least ten area companies that routinely employ adolescent workers so that supervisors can increase bonding with adolescent employees and more effectively discourage use of marijuana by their adolescent employees (by September 29, 2015).
- Enhance access to existing community prevention programs aligned with Coalition priorities.

Tom Ford's Black Orchid can be defined with one word: HEAVENLY! Pricey, yes. But you will fall in love. I get so many compliments throughout the day. Almost everyone I come in contact with asks what I am wearing and say I smell great. This fragrance lasts the whole work day and longer. It smells strong when first applied, but the dry down is beautiful. I am not sure if I would classify it as oriental, but the floral definitely comes through.

Read Review details ►Just received this beautiful gem. I have waited for this love all my life. I spritzed a few perfect drops on my wrist, and I knew I was in love at first smell. It enveloped my senses with such a wonderful spell, I couldn't stop smelling you. This perfume is for a WOMEN who doesn't want to smell like any other women, and want's everyone in a room to notice her. Such a mesmerizing scent. Not for the faint at heart type of women. I am in love with you Tom Ford!
Written by pam on October 22, 2014
Read Review details ►Wow! Black orchid by Tom Ford is wondefully floral/spicy...a totally unique scent. Comes on strong and has a powder dry-down. Don't let the floral notes dissuade you - you will not smell like a bouquet of daisies.

Oct 11, 2011A haunting, pitch perfect dissection of a woman we all know too well...and who we may even be as much as we may not want to. Alarmingly poetic and rapturous. Laura Dern is a national treasure. Mike White is Hemingway redux.
Oct 13, 2011
Nov 23, 2011The premise is interesting, and it's fun to watch Laura Dern and her real mother interact as daughter and mother, especially since each is such a good actress. The supporting cast is varied and the show has the right mix of humor and pathos and silliness and seriousness; I like the blend and appreciate the fact that it is not mean-spirited. It has a good heart and is not dumbed down either.
Nov 28, 2011This is such a funny show. Her charactor is so perfectly crazy and kind of sad at the same time. I love her mom, too. I cant wait untill the next episode.
Dec 15, 2011
Dec 30, 2011How does one become enlightened in a culture where everything has a price tag, including Amy's $48,000 bill for becoming "enlightened"? Brilliantly written and acted. And, challenging as all good art should be.
Mar 8, 2012I truly believe this is a sleeper meaning nobody is talking about it at the water cooler but just give it time Laura is an incredible actress not a fan of her until now. Luke Wilson also plays true to the character awesome writing. I'm more of a shootem up movie guy was bored one day and wham!!!!! im hooked good job guys keep up the good work.
Jan 1, 2014
Jun 23, 2014All I can say is I love it, it is brilliant, Laura Dern is wonderful as usual, the story is excellent and the acting superb. It's very funny, all the actors are top class, especially the actress playing Laura's Mother and Laura's ex. is brilliant as well. I give it 10 out of 10.

Apr 7, 2013
Apr 4, 2015Deserves to become a cult fave. Probably it already is among Laura Dern fans. Pretty offbeat and not what you expect of TV. Worth mentioning: LD's real-life mother (Diane Ladd) plays her mother. Luke Wilson makes an interesting ex. Very Southern Cali but not the Southern Cali we always see in movies and TV. More inland empire ordinary. (LD starred in Inland Empire.)
Oct 13, 2011It seems to me that many people walked into this with skewed expectations. I never for a moment expected anything remotely sitcom, or LOL funny.
Yes it is a "comedy"â -
Jan 6, 2013A quirky and mature drama, Enlightened is unique. Quite slow-paced at first, it grows into a fascinating satire of corporate life, full of humor and intelligence.
Jan 5, 2014
Feb 23, 2013
Oct 10, 2011This was okay. Laura Dern is fantastic, and her character has a lot of depth, but everything else is flat. The first episode started out very good, but as it went on, it became relatively annoying and not as entertaining. Hopefully it finds itself quickly, because I'm not quite sure what it can do to grow.
Oct 13, 2011
Feb 14, 2012
Oct 16, 2011I like dark and dry humor, but this wasn't really funny, just dark and dry. I liked Luke Wilson though, but beyond him, the rest of the characters just seemed forgettable.
Oct 11, 2011This was...weak. Laura Dern is way better than this. I hope it improves. It's also not that funny. Take comedy out of its description. HBO needs to retool this.
Jul 25, 2013
Oct 11, 2011WOW. This was average. Not funny at all. Laura Dern is good, but everything else just didn't work. Hopefully it gets better. Because this won't last.
Jun 22, 2013A show about a loser who becomes enlightened and keeps losing at life. Season 1 is great if you want to watch someone fail. And fail. And fail. And then fail.
And fail.
Season 2 is very good. Skip this one. Go watch that one instead. -

Oct 11, 2011I guess it was okay. Not very funny. Laura Dern is stepping down a level, and the writing doesn't support her character. Needs a major overhaul. I have no idea how this will be a continuous series, as the storyline isn't very broad.
Oct 17, 2011this show is really not good, it tries to be something it isnt & doesnt work. Laura Dern does a fine job, but otherwise nothing up to par. I dont see this show last more than this year
Oct 24, 2011
Jan 18, 2013Its not funny. Someone tell the writers for this show that a good story requires a protagonist you can root for. This one thinks she is such a great person yet never ever tries to empathize with her co workers, etc.. I just keep thinking, that someone should end her misery.
Aug 14, 2014I wanted to like this...But its a show about a neurotic woman who is trying to keep a semblance of control in her life...She just didn't resonate with me...I was embarrassed for her but didn't like her .... Much like watching someone throw a temper tantrum in public.....I just want to look away..and so I will..
By this third episode, the tone has become open, generous, and alert to every sort of character.
A black comedy working many shades of gray, Enlightened is about dark mornings of the soul and the fool's-golden glow of the new convert, and it measures the weight of the world with an eccentric scale.
The series embraces the absurdities of its subject with enough compassion to avoid outright parody.

Astros seek spark for finale vs. A's, Samardzija
Houston without rookie phenom Springer for matinee in Oakland
If the Astros are going to top Jeff Samardzija and win the series Thursday afternoon against the first-place A's, they'll have to do it without George Springer.
Springer was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained left quad, leaving the Astros without one of their biggest offensive weapons. Springer was hitting .231 with 20 homers and 51 RBIs in 78 games.
The Astros are now without three key outfielders with Springer, Dexter Fowler and Alex Presley all on the shelf. Fowler has been on the DL since June 27 with a right intercostal strain, and Presley has been out since July 8 with a right oblique strain.
"We've pretty much lost our starting outfield," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "It's definitely next man up, an opportunity for some other guys to get some at-bats and see how they can do."
That means Marc Krauss and L.J. Hoes will split time in left, super utility player Enrique Hernandez will man center and Robbie Grossman will get most of the playing time in right field.
"It's really three guys that we've lost recently in the outfield, all of whom can [contribute] offensively and defensively," general manager Jeff Luhnow said. "It's a big blow. I think this is the time that Grossman and Hoes and the rest of the guys have to step up. This is their opportunity. They're going to be playing every day and they need to show us they're capable of producing and helping this team win ballgames."
They'll have a tough test against Samardzija, who is making his fourth start with the A's since he was acquired from the Cubs on July 5.
The right-hander had difficulty in his most recent outing against the Orioles, allowing four runs on six hits in seven innings. The long ball also has been an issue for him in recent games, as he's allowed five home runs in his last four starts after allowing five in his previous 16.
Samardzija, 3-8 with a 2.91 ERA on the year, is 4-2 with a 3.65 ERA in 16 career appearances against the Astros.
For Houston, right-hander Scott Feldman will make his second start since the All-Star break.
He received a tough loss on Friday in Chicago despite allowing three runs and seven hits in seven innings. Four of his last five starts have been quality, and he has not allowed more than three earned runs in nine of his last 11 starts.
A's: Foot pain keeps Vogt from catching, not hitting
Stephen Vogt has a bone bruise in his right foot that has kept him from catching lately, but the A's need his bat in the lineup, and Vogt plans to continue playing through it.
"It's been going on for a while," Vogt said. "I wouldn't say there's any particularity, it's just my foot hurts. Just trying to get through it."
On Wednesday, Vogt started his first game of the year at designated hitter. A's manager Bob Melvin said Vogt has had the bone bruise before and aggravated it "a little while" ago.
"I think whenever I can DH him or something along those lines, hopefully it can get that much better," said Melvin. "Those things don't go away very quickly, and we certainly don't want to DL him, and he doesn't want to go on the disabled list."
Astros: Krauss returns after Springer injury
With Springer headed to the disabled list, Krauss rejoined the club Wednesday from Triple-A Oklahoma City and was plugged right into the lineup, hitting fourth and starting in left field.
It's the third stint with the Astros this year for Krauss, who broke camp with the club but was sent down because he was struggling at the plate.
"I'm definitely excited," he said. "This is why you put in all the hard work, to get to this level. I think it was beneficial for me to go down to Oklahoma City and work on some things and play every day and do all that stuff to get my confidence and rhythm back. I feel good. I wish George wasn't hurt. A lot of people are in that boat, but it's part of the game, and so I'm going to try to step in and do what I can to help the team win."
