I worked at Altria
I would be surprised if there were a better brand management internship in the nation.
- Assigned highly challenging projects that impact the business
- First week of training is excellent for getting your feet wet in brand management
- The employees, especially ABMs, are very willing to guide you if you ask for it
- Fast paced work environment
- Opportunity to collaborate with cross-functional partners and advertising agency
- Great workplace culture with highly competent and fun people
- Exposure to senior leadership several times during the summer
- Given access to nearly all the data that the Brand Managers have
- Multiple opportunities to travel as an intern
- Altria makes sure that you enjoy your summer in Richmond (Y Richmond, Chicago Trip, Intern Finale, etc)
- The Consumer Engagement intern below that said the Brand interns are treated like royalty is right in the fact that the company invests the most into the brand internship
- The projects you are assigned define your experience for the summer, luck of the draw
- Rarely given "day-to-day" tasks that give you a feel for what the Brand Analyst role is really like
- They give a housing stipend but it will not cover your total expenses and it is still difficult to find housing
- You will probably feel like a complete idiot at some point during the summer because you will make a mistake, but that comes with giving MBA-level projects to undergrads. Not a con as much as it is part of the learning process
- The most important factor in getting an offer is your manager. I was surprised by some the people who did (and did not) get offers.

As a summer intern they really take you out and show you all the ins and outs of the business. They have some of the greatest people in the work place. It is one of the best places to launch a career because of all the career advancements.
The only con is that ist is a tobacco company, ultimately, and you will probably get frowned upon by a few people everyday.
Advice to Management
I think the internship was a great experience and I learned a great deal.

The pay is okay (but not worth it).
Benefits are great!

Management is completely in the dark to the real amount of work the TSM's do daily!
HR does not solve problems, things can become worse it an issue is reported.
Too many product launches and last minute changes.
No work/life balance.
Advice to Management
LISTEN to the TSM without retaliation (yes, it is happening!) Less work... if you really want it all completed and done RIGHT!

Liquid Funk
Liquid funk is a style of drum and bass. While it uses similar basslines and bar layouts to other styles, it contains fewer bar-oriented samples and more instrumental layers (both synthesized and natural), harmonies, and ambience, producing a calmer atmosphere directed at both home listeners and nightclub audiences. History In 2000, Fabio began championing a new form of drum and bass he called "Liquid funk", with a compilation release of the same name on his Creative Source label. This was characterised by influences from disco and house, and widespread use of vocals.

A brand new IT Trends Survey on Cloud computing services from Socitm Research, in association with Socitm Gold Partner Civica. IT Trends Survey: Cloud computing services reports on the results of a 'deep dive' into the state of cloud computing procurement and adoption in the Socitm community carried out in November 2014. 103 organisations responded to the survey invitation, mostly local authorities but including other local public services and voluntary sector organisations.
This is a short and highly visual guide for top management teams in local public services.
Digital transformation -- of service delivery and citizen engagement -- may not be the whole answer to challenges facing local public services, but is certainly a key part of it. This top management briefing draws on research published by Socitm in Better connected 2015.
Flexible working has moved on from piecemeal implementation of home working, flexitime and hot desking. For progressive organisations, it is now part of the strategy to compete and survive; increasing productivity, cutting costs, serving people better, operating sustainably and contributing to corporate social responsibility.
Agile approaches to the realisation of corporate initiatives, whether within or outside of ICT, are now becoming the norm. This is because they have been seen to work and produce effective solutions that really do meet business needs and consequently add value to organisations. This is only true, however, if organisations take a realistic approach to Agile implementations, ensuring that Agile can co-exist with existing governance and management processes that not only are necessary but also add value.
We published our full 2015 report (264 pages) on 2 March 2015.
Health and social care reforms - the ICT and digital implications: 1. The online user experience in 2014
'What gets measured gets managed' goes the business school adage. Faced with unprecedented cuts, public service ICT functions face tough decisions. To support the decision-making process, ICT managers need hard facts about their service, and the ability to make true comparisons of their performance with that of their peers.
Benchmarking provides the facts. Hard metrics allow sensible, if difficult, choices about where there is any fat left to cut, and which parts of the service to cut with the least impact on users.

BSCI 442, Plant Physiol. Lab. Expt. 5 19 Expt 5. Factors regulating guard cell movement and stomatal aperture file: guard Objectives: Observe how guard cell movement regulates the opening of stomata Test how environmental signals (like light and dark) regulate stomatal opening Test how a plant stress hormone, abscisic acid, affects stomatal opening Determine the ions and solutes required for guard cell movement Introduction The stomatal aperture regulates gas exchange needed for photosynthesis and water loss by transpiration. In order to optimize photosynthesis and reduce water loss the aperture is regulated by the movement of two guard cells. The turgor pressure in leaf guard cells is used to open and close the stomatal opening. Environmental (e.g. light) and chemical signals cause ion movements that result in an increase of solutes in the guard cells. For example, light stimulates the plasma membrane H+-pumping ATPase, causing a change in the membrane potential which leads to the influx of K+. The increase in solute concentration causes water to follow. The turgor increase opens the stomates. These pressures can be very high; ranging upwards to 25 or 30 atm. During periods of water stress, stomatal apertures decrease and close to reduce water loss. The response to water stress is mediated in part by hormones, like ABA. In this experiment, we test the effect of light and dark on stomatal opening and test the requirement for K+. The effect of a hormone abscisic acid, ABA, will also be tested. Approach: Epidermal strips taken from leaves are exposed to various treatments, and observed under a microscope to determine the extent of stomatal closing or opening. Procedure: Part I. What signals and ions alter guard cell movement? Why? 1. Prepare five petri plates with the following solutions: 100 mM KCl, light 100 mM KCl, dark 200 mM mannitol, light 100 mM choline Cl, light 100 mM KCl, 10 M ABA, light 2. Remove a healthy leaf by tearing the leaf parallel to the mid-vein. In the dark, peel the lower epidermis (guard cells are in the epidermal layer of cells) from the leaf using forceps. DO NOT ALLOW THE EPIDERMAL STRIP TO DRY. Place several strips into the solution. BSCI 442, Plant Physiol. Lab. Expt. 5 20 3. Place plates in light for 1 hour, except for 'dark' treatment – put that one in a drawer. 4. Examine the light and dark treated sections under the microscope. Look for pairs of guard cells in a given area. Examine at least 20 pairs for each treatment. Note the number of stomates that are wide open, open, nearly closed or closed. Present results in a table: Treatment Number of stomata Wide Open Open Nearly closed Closed Dark, KCl Light, KCl Light, Mannitol Light, Choline Cl Light, ABA, KCl Part II. Visualizing K+ in cells: Histochemical Localization of K+ 5. Place the epidermal peel (from 100 mM KCl solu. in light and dark) in a cold 10% solution of sodium cobaltinitrite for 5-10 min. This reagent is used to reveal the levels of K+ in open and closed stomates by converting the soluble ion into an insoluble precipitate. Na3Co(NO2)6 + 2K+ ---> K2Na[Co(NO2)6] + 2Na+ 6. Rinse the stained peel for 2-3 min in cold deionized water and mount the tissue in a drop of 5% glycerine. Observe under a microscope. What do you see? Data Analyses and interpretation: Note your observations and propose a model explaining one or more reasons for what you saw. Include this in your lab report! Questions: i) Under what environmental conditions does ABA level increase in plants? (Hint: see Taiz and Zeiger, Ch. 23) ii) Why would light cause a change in stomatal aperture? Hint- When does a plant sense changes in light and dark in the natural environment? iii). What specific molecular events cause the opening of the stomatal aperture? What specific changes occurred in the guard cells? iv). Why is there a difference in your result when you used mannitol instead of KCl? References: Water potential Taiz and Zeiger, 2002, or 2006. Ch. 3, 4 Guard cell movement Taiz and Zeiger, 2002 or 2006 Ch. 18 ABA and water deficit Taiz and Zeiger, 2002 or 2006. Ch. 23 BSCI 442, Plant Physiol. Lab. Expt. 5 21 not used. 8/02 Part B. Measurement of leaf resistance (or stomatal conductance) to water vapor with a diffusive porometer (taken from I. Forseth) Measure leaf resistance of the transpiration pathway. Test the effect of light and dark on leaf resistance. Leaf resistance of the transpiration pathway is related to the diffusion of water vapor from the substomal cavities through the stomata. High resistance would indicate a low level of diffusion of water vapor or a low stomatal conductance as a result of closed stomata. Low resistance indicates a high rate of diffusion of water vapor or high stomatal conductance as a result of open stomata. A diffusive porometer measures diffusion of water vapor from the substomatal chambers through the stomata of an intact plant. The transient porometer which is one type of diffusive porometer, measures the time taken for a portion of a leaf enclosed in a cuvette to raise the humidity inside the cuvette over a fixed humidity interval. This interval can be converted to resistance by the use of an empirical calibration curve. Calibration involves replacing the leaf in the cuvette with a wet surface (usually water saturated filter paper) covered by a calibration plate with known resistance. Material: The porometer consists of 1) The leaf cuvette which is made up of a Vaisala Humicap capable of responding rapidly to changes in humidity, and two thermisters. One thermister measures the temperature of the cuvette, the other measures leaf temperature. 2) The control console, which consists of a battery, a pump which circulates air through the cuvette, a container filled with dessicant which dries the water vapor from the air in the cuvette, a switch controlling humidity ranges, a timer, and a relative humidity/temperature gauge. 3) A calibration plate. Procedure: 1. Set the porometer function switch to the relative humidity setting (RH), open the cuvette and wave it in the air a few times. This will give you an idea of ambient relative humidity. Based on the reading obtained, select the proper humidity range for your measurements using the relative humidity range switch. 2. Next, you should calibrate the porometer using the calibration plate provided with the instrument. Wet a rectangular piece of filter paper with distilled water to the point of saturation, but not to the point of having water drip from the paper. The paper is placed beneath a layer of tape on one side of the calibration plate which has precisely drilled lines of holes. The number and size of these holes determine their resistance to water vapor diffusion. The cuvette is clamped over these holes, and the temperature of the BSCI 442, Plant Physiol. Lab. Expt. 5 22 cuvette, the temperature of the calibration plate and the time it takes for humidity to change over a certain range is recorded for each series of holes. Plot the data on graph paper. 3. Then measure leaf resistance by clamping the cuvette gently onto the abaxial side of the leaf, for lower leaf resistance. The measurement interval begins when the relative humidity reaches a certain level inside the cuvette. As relative humidity rises within the cuvette, due to transpiration from the leaf, the instrument will start timing at a preset minimum relative humidity. When the relative humidity reaches a specified maximum, the time measurement stops. When this point is reached, the air pump starts which forces air through the dessication column and back to the cuvette, lowering humidity past the lower set point, at which point the pump turns off, and the humidification cycle starts again. As the pump dries the cuvette, the results of this measurement are displayed. In order to allow equilibration between the leaf and the cuvette, measurements should be repeated 3-5 cycles before the cuvette is removed from the leaf. 4. Take a drought stressed plant or a dark treated plant, and measure the leaf resistance as in step 3. Is there a difference between a light- versus dark grown plant? Precautions to observe Avoid breathing directly on the leaf because high CO2 in your breath may close the stomata. Avoid touching or getting any water on the sensor. It is very sensitive to liquids and to oils on your hands. Moisture condensation may occur if you clamp the cuvette onto a leaf without having the pump activated, or if you have too much water on the filter paper used during calibration. The first readings after placing a leaf in the cuvette are often less reliable than succeeding readings. Take several readings from one leaf

DEFINITION of 'Power Of Sale'
A clause written into a mortgage authorizing the mortgagee (lender) to sell the property in the event of default, in order to repay the mortgage debt. As a mortgage term, power of sale is equivalent to the term foreclosure.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Power Of Sale'
The power of sale is language added to a mortgage document that allows the lender to sell the property if the mortgage payments are not met, thereby permitting the lender to repay the mortgage debt. A property that is foreclosed is sold by the lender (usually a bank) in order to recover losses incurred by the loan default.
In addition to a mortgage term, power of sale also refers to the power expressed or implied in a trust agreement permitting the trustee to sell the investments comprising the trust.

ZoomingAs you zoom out the number of icons that appear is reduced to avoid clutter. All places are shown at the larger scales, but as you zoom out only towns/parishes appear regardless of what you have specified in the search bar.
Start point in search barIf you pan the map so that it is centred on a different point the starting location used by the search bar changes to this point. So you can pan the map, and just click 'New search' to show places around that location. This will also remember the current zoom level.
Key to map icons
ColourA different colour is used for each county, with a darker shade used for those places which have their own unique web page e.g. parishes and townships. A paler shade is used for smaller places which don't have a unique web page. Information about these smaller places is held in the page for the parish or township to which they belong. As you zoom out the lighter icons will disappear to reduce overcrowding, and then the darker ones just leaving the place you selected as a starting point.
ShapeThe icons used for places for which we have an exact location have a teardrop shape. If we only have an approximate location (within 1 kilometre), a square icon is used. The marker for places with an approximate location is placed at a random location within a 1 Km square on the map.
If we have not yet decided in which township or parish a place was located a square icon with nibbled edges is used. This shape is used for both exact and approximate locations.

Dance COLEctive to Offer Two Premieres & Revival this Fall
The Dance COLEctive (TDC), under the direction of award-winning choreographer, performer and teacher Margi Cole, and Links Hall present "Holding Ground," a concert program with two premieres and a revival. Performances are October 31, November 1 and 2 at 7 p.m. at Links Hall at Constellation, 3111 N. Western Ave., Chicago.
To place live performance in a 21st century context and engage with more of its potential audiences outside Chicago, TDC plans to stream one of these performances on YouTube. More details will follow.
Cole's as-yet unnamed new work features the whole company in a collision of ideas drawn from duet material developed last season, the current Internet obsession around quiz-taking and labeling yourself, personal truths and fear of change. Costumes are by Maggie Dianovsky.
In the spirit of TDC's "COLEctive Notions" concerts of the past few seasons, Cole is mentoring four-year company member Madelyn Doyle in creating a work that looks at the physical and mental necessities for an individual to develop a personal philosophy. Doyle noted, "The materials available to us, such as media, literature and individuals who specialize in specific areas, are the ingredients we use to form ourselves, but what do we ultimately need to create true individuality? Experience. Only then do we choose our path and honestly become what we are meant to be."
Cole performs Colleen Halloran's Middle of a Life (2003), a solo that reveals a woman's life decisions to this point in time. The movement acts as a mirror to illuminate the victories and regrets she has experienced along the way. Choreographer, filmmaker and educator Colleen Halloran has been making work for almost 20 years, including 35 works for the stage. She is intrigued by the intersection and manipulation of movement, image and story to arrive at a collective "whole." Cole and Halloran, who were students together at Columbia College Chicago, have been collaborating since the late 1980s.
Prior to "Holding Ground," TDC is participating in Peep Show October 6 at Links Hall, and Cole is teaching at the Tennessee Dance Festival October 17-19 in Chattanooga. Cole performs in Peter Carpenter Performance Project's Rituals of Abundance for Lean Times #12: Dominant Collapse December 5-7 at Links Hall and travels to Dublin, Ireland January 11-24 for a teaching residency with Dance Ireland.
On May 1 and 2, Cole continues her collaboration with the Peter Carpenter Performance Project by performing in Rituals of Abundance for Lean Times #14 at the Storefront Theater, 66 E. Randolph Street, Chicago, presented in association with the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE).

Music: Mojo Nixon
Mojo Nixon (born Neill Kirby McMillan) is an American psychobilly musician, probably best known for his irreverent and comedic Take That songs about celebrities which earned him acclaim in the 1980s college rock scene and MTV, being namedropped in The Dead Milkmen's hit "Punk Rock Girl"...and for playing Toad in the Super Mario Bros. movie.
Tropes that apply to Mojo Nixon:
- '80s Hair: Not a fan of the mullet hairstyle, about which he once wrote the song "Don't Want no Foo-Foo Haircut" describing his supposed failed experimentation with the hairstyle.
- Bawdy Song: Among many others, "Tie My Pecker To My Leg" which, aside from the title, gives us lines such as "Yeah her asshole is tighter than a steel drum/And I'd eat a yard of her shit to watch her cum" and "I need a woman six foot ten/She's gotta be that tall so I can get it all in."
- The Bermuda Triangle: According to "Elvis is Everywhere," Elvis Presley is responsible for all the disappearing vessels here, simply because "Elvis needs boats."
- Christmas Songs: The Christmas album Horny Holidays as well as the later single "Christmas, Christmas" which is essentially a Christmas-themed parody of "Louie, Louie."
- Circus of Fear: "Circus Mystery"
- Cover Version: Several, including Dead Kennedys' "Winnebago Warrior," Alice Cooper's "Be My Lover," and The Smiths' "Girlfriend in a Coma," the latter of which contains a long rant poking fun at lead singer Morrissey.
- Creator Worship: Invoked in "Elvis is Everywhere" in which Elvis is depicted as a Christ-like deity.
- A Date with Rosie Palms: "She's Vibrator Dependent" is a rare female example by a male artist.
- Digital Piracy Is Evil: Averted. Mojo, who is a staunch libertarian, strongly supports file-sharing, claiming he's "not an asshole like Metallica" on the matter.
- Elvis Has Left the Planet: "Elvis is Everywhere" also claims that all aliens in outer space look like Elvis "because Elvis is a perfect being."
- 555: Averted in "(619) 239-KING," which was an actual phone number supposedly belonging to Elvis which was created to promote the same song.
- Gun Porn: In "Where The Hell's My Money," he describes a gun he pulls out in much more detail than the rest of the anecdote.
- Large Ham: Mojo has been compared (by himself) to a cross between Elvis, Foghorn Leghorn, and Otis Campbell, the town drunk from The Andy Griffith Show.
- Lesser Star: Skid Roper, the folk musician who accompanied Mojo on his first four albums, only penned four songs which were panned by critics.
- Nostalgia Filter: "Lincoln Logs" is a tribute to Skid Roper's favorite childhood toy of the same name.
- Ode to Intoxication: Many, including "Gin Guzzling Frenzy" and the Roger Miller cover "Chug-A-Lug."
- Refuge in Audacity: A lot of his songs, but probably most infamously "Tie My Pecker to My Leg," which references coprophagia, incest bestiality, pedophilia, and so on to the point where an alternate title could be "The Aristocrats: The Song."
- Shout-Out: He has released two musical tributes to fellow satirical country musician and gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman, including "Kinky is Everywhere," a rewrite of his hit "Elvis is Everywhere."
- Take That: One of his music's best known characteristics. Don Henley surprised Mojo by showing up at one of Mojo's concerts and offering to perform "Don Henley Must Die" with him.
- 10-Minute Retirement: In 2003, Mojo declared himself to be retired from the music business. However, six years later, he came out with his most recent album, Whiskey Rebellion and he still tours to this day.
- Vanity License Plate: The music video of "Elvis is Everywhere," which was notably featured on Beavis And Butthead, contains one reading "P. ELVIS."
- Your Mom: The very first line in "Tie My Pecker to My Leg" is "Me your mama and some other whore."

Who should be the Mets' fifth starter?
When Zack Wheeler tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, it seemed clear at the time that Dillon Gee would step back into the rotation, where he has experienced modest success over the past five seasons.
Not so fast, say some others within the organization, who are curious to see what Rafael Montero can do. What about you? Who should be the Mets' fifth starter?

Fred Wilpon and "the best meeting I've ever been a part of"
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Over the past half-decade, Mets principal owner Fred Wilpon has made himself exceedingly scarce in public settings. And while Wilpon continues to avoid interview requests on a regular basis, he has become a more visible presence at Mets camp, frequently meeting with manager Terry Collins before and after games.
That manifested itself in a different way early Monday morning, when Wilpon gathered everyone in big league camp for his first closed-door meeting with players in years. One player described the meeting as exceedingly positive and "very, very genuine," saying Wilpon expressed to the players how badly he wants to win.
"Fred's always been upbeat," third baseman David Wright said. "I'd say that the vast majority of conversations that I've ever had with Mr. Wilpon have been very upbeat, so nothing different."
Wilpon, who has not spoken on record in over two years, declined comment on the meeting, brushing past a group of media members with his bodyguard.
Players, however, did not describe Wilpon as angry or even upset, despite six straight losing seasons. To the contrary, they portrayed the 78-year-old owner as cheerful and optimistic; one player went as far as to call Monday's gathering "the best meeting I've ever been a part of."
"I'd like to think that whenever anybody has the floor, that it gets everybody's attention," Wright said.

Projecting the Mets' Opening Day roster, March 28
With so many cuts and injuries over the past two weeks, let's give this another go:
CF Juan Lagares
3B David Wright
1B Lucas Duda
RF Michael Cuddyer
LF Curtis Granderson
C Travis d'Arnaud
SS Wilmer Flores
2B Matt Reynolds
In light of the Mets' comments yesterday regarding Daniel Murphy, I'm going to go ahead and assume Murphy will miss the season's first five games. That opens the door for Danny Muno to make the roster, but Reynolds seems to be the choice here given his torrid spring.
C Anthony Recker
OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis
OF John Mayberry, Jr.
INF Ruben Tejada
INF Eric Campbell
No changes here. Though the Mets continue to talk about Muno as an option, theoretically at the expense of Campbell, I have a hard time envisioning that actually happening. Campbell, for the Mets, is a known asset.
RHP Bartolo Colon
RHP Jacob deGrom
RHP Matt Harvey
LHP Jon Niese
RHP Dillon Gee
Again, while the Mets have talked about using Rafael Montero here, they've also spoken at length about what Gee means to the club. Gee's job may not be safe for long, but right now it is.
RHP Jenrry Mejia (CL)
RHP Jeurys Familia
RHP Vic Black
RHP Carlos Torres
RHP Rafael Montero
RHP Buddy Carlyle
LHP Sean Gilmartin
The lefty competition is still wide open, though Gilmartin seems to have reestablished himself as the favorite with a few successful outings in a row. The biggest question mark here is Black, who climbed back on a mound Saturday for the first time in two weeks. Black's status remains iffy for Opening Day, making it conceivable the Mets could add a second lefty — Scott Rice or Dario Alvarez — to the mix, or perhaps even prospect Zach Thornton, who's had a nice spring.
Disabled list:
2B Daniel Murphy, RHP Bobby Parnell, RHP Zack Wheeler, LHP Josh Edgin.
Still in camp:
C Johnny Monell*, INF Danny Muno*, OF Matt den Dekker, OF Cesar Puello, RHP Erik Goeddel, RHP Zach Thornton*, LHP Dario Alvarez, RHP Scott Rice*.

Odds for this much cake? Not so good.
Early Friday morning, members of the Mets' culinary staff emerged from the clubhouse kitchen carrying three separate birthday cakes: one each for Michael Cuddyer (age 36), Johnny Monell (29) and Matt Harvey (26). The team also acknowledged Brandon Nimmo, in Minor League camp, who turned 22.
All four began this spring in a group of 57 players invited to big league camp, which begged the question of how ridiculous the odds of this happening must be. Though it takes just 23 people in a group for there to be at least a 50-percent chance of a shared birthday, four separate people sharing a birthday in a group of 57 seemed outlandish.
Not for Twitter follower @AdamMets, who used something called a Poisson Approximation to determine that the odds of this happening are roughly 0.81%:
@AnthonyDiComo Couldn't use that equation it was insane. Used a Poisson Approx which is NOT exact but close. 0.81% pic.twitter.com/WgznWWhTTD
— 90% Chance of Adam (@AdamMets) March 27, 2015
So now you know, math whizzes. One of the cakes was Oreo-flavored, by the way, which in so many ways seems so much more interesting.
Harvey (birth)Day goes swimmingly in Jupiter
JUPITER, Fla. — Consider this mathematical improbability: Matt Harvey was one of four Mets players to celebrate a birthday on Friday, receiving an early-morning cake in the clubhouse alongside outfielder Michael Cuddyer and catcher Johnny Monell. (The fourth, outfield prospect Brandon Nimmo, is in Minor League camp.) But his celebration did not linger. At age 26, there was much work to do.
It certainly seemed like business as usual later in the day, when Harvey waited out a brief rain delay before setting a new high of 80 pitches in his 4 1/3-inning, one-run outing against the Cardinals. Though Harvey was less efficient than he would have liked, the most remarkable aspect of his outing was how unremarkable it all seemed. He was just plain old Matt Harvey, hitting 97 mph on a notoriously slow Roger Dean Stadium radar gun while keeping the Cardinals largely off the basepaths.
After giving up a leadoff double to Peter Bourjos, which resulted in a sacrifice fly, Harvey retired eight in a row until Bourjos reached again on a strikeout and wild pitch. Harvey struck out five in total, walking none and allowing three hits.
With a week until camp breaks, Harvey will start one more time in Florida, before making his season debut on April 9 in Washington. At that point, he will be 17-and-a-half months removed from Tommy John surgery.
Harvey on Mets passing him over for Opening Day: "It's something that I expected."
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — As far back as September, Matt Harvey had penciled Opening Day onto his calendar, going as far as to proclaim that he was chalking the Nationals up "as a 'W'" on April 6.
The realities of rehabilitation and the politics of Mets camp have slowed him only slightly. A more subdued Harvey tipped his cap on Tuesday to Bartolo Colon, who will receive the Opening Day start in his stead, and to Jacob deGrom, who will start the home opener. Harvey will pitch the third game of the season on April 9, as well as the Mets' second home game on April 14.
"It's something that I expected," Harvey said. "I was happy to be healthy going into Spring Training, so … I'm happy that I get to start in Washington. I'm excited to throw there. We're excited to match up with them."
As for the 'W' he had penciled in on Opening Day?
"Bartolo's got that covered," Harvey said.
The Mets' justification in avoiding Harvey for both openers was that they wanted to honor pitchers who actually contributed last year. While Harvey missed the entire season rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, Colon led the staff in innings and wins, and deGrom won the National League Rookie of the Year Award. Theoretically, lining Harvey up for the second home game instead of the home opener also allows the Mets to draw two big crowds in a row to Citi Field.
"Obviously with Bartolo throwing 200 innings, getting 15 wins is well-deserved of Opening Day," Harvey said. "And all that Jacob did last year, he obviously deserves Opening Day at home. I'm happy to be throwing in the first series and obviously extremely happy about throwing at home."
Not that Harvey's debut will lack juice. The Mets' third game will pit him opposite Stephen Strasburg, one of the few pitchers in baseball who truly understands the hype surrounding Harvey. Back in April 2013, Harvey outdueled Strasburg in a game at Citi Field, prompting thousands of fans to chant "Harvey's better!" during one of the more memorable games of his breakout season.
This time, the atmosphere should be just as electrically charged.
"That's an important series for us, obviously opening up the season," Harvey said. "Regardless of who we're facing, there's a lot of work that still needs to be done in Spring Training, and that's a big series so we're all excited."

Projecting the Mets' Opening Day roster, March 16
Update, March 17, 4:48 p.m.
The Mets just made six additional cuts, which are reflected below.
Time to whip out a new version of the projected roster, taking into account Zack Wheeler's impending Tommy John surgery and other developments.
CF Juan Lagares
2B Daniel Murphy
3B David Wright
1B Lucas Duda
RF Michael Cuddyer
LF Curtis Granderson
C Travis d'Arnaud
SS Wilmer Flores
No changes here, particularly considering how nice a spring Lagares is having. Nothing to see here. Move along.
C Anthony Recker
OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis
OF John Mayberry, Jr.
INF Ruben Tejada
INF Eric Campbell
Again, let's just keep moving. This group is pretty static.
RHP Jacob deGrom
LHP Jon Niese
RHP Matt Harvey
RHP Bartolo Colon
RHP Dillon Gee
With Wheeler out for the year, the names here won't change barring another injury (Sorry, fans of Noah Syndergaard, Steven Matz and Rafael Montero. But the order remains unclear. Expect either deGrom or Niese to start Opening Day, with Harvey sliding into Game 2 or 3. Colon and Gee should round out the rotation.
RHP Jenrry Mejia (CL)
RHP Jeurys Familia
RHP Vic Black
RHP Carlos Torres
RHP Rafael Montero
LHP Dario Alvarez
RHP Buddy Carlyle
Color me unimpressed enough with Sean Gilmartin's performance to throw Alvarez in here instead, though there's a growing chance the Mets fill their lefty need externally. Wheeler's injury bumps Gee to the rotation, giving Montero an excellent opportunity to land in the bullpen. I like Carlyle's chances, too, since the Mets may lose him if he doesn't make the cut. And if Black's shoulder woes linger, the Mets may even need to add another right-hander from the depths of camp.
Disabled list:
RHP Bobby Parnell, RHP Zack Wheeler, LHP Josh Edgin.
Still in camp:
C Johnny Monell*, C Kevin Plawecki*, INF Brandon Allen*, INF Danny Muno*, INF Matt Reynolds*, OF Alex Castellanos*, OF Matt den Dekker, OF Cesar Puello, RHP Chase Bradford*, RHP Erik Goeddel, RHP Cory Mazzoni, RHP Akeel Morris, RHP Noah Syndergaard, RHP Zack Thornton*, RHP Jon Velasquez*, LHP Sean Gilmartin, LHP Jack Leathersich, LHP Steven Matz, RHP Scott Rice*.

Wheeler has torn UCL; Tommy John surgery probable
Update, 12:39 p.m.
FORT MYERS, Fla. — For the second straight season, the Mets' rotation will be incomplete.
Starting pitcher Zack Wheeler has been diagnosed with a completely torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, the team announced Monday, making Tommy John surgery inevitable. Though the Mets have not committed to the operation, general manager Sandy Alderson described Wheeler's situation as "pretty clear-cut," calling the diagnosis preliminary only because Wheeler has yet to meet with team orthopedist Dr. David Altchek.
Tommy John ligament-replacement surgery is the standard treatment for a torn UCL, requiring an approximate 12-month recovery.
"The diagnosis is not surprising," Alderson said. "We had been forewarned by the doctors that his elbow was a concern, and that it was going to have to be managed over the course of this season. It wasn't clear that the ligament was involved at that time, but we understood that we were going to have to manage his medical condition over the course of the season. So when he complained of the elbow pain, it wasn't a surprise to us.
"When the elbow is involved, anything can happen."
The news broke as Matt Harvey, who spent the entire 2014 season recovering from Tommy John surgery, prepared to make his third spring start.
"Thanks for everybody's support and kind words," Wheeler wrote on Twitter. "It's greatly appreciated. Long road ahead."
Wheeler, 24, was 11-11 with a 3.54 ERA in 32 starts last season, putting him in contention for the Mets' Opening Day start. But his elbow was an issue as far back as last summer, Alderson said, when he first complained of discomfort. The Mets ordered an MRI last September, as Wheeler was putting the finishing touches on a 16-start run that saw him go 8-3 with a 2.71 ERA. Though that test came back clean, Wheeler complained of elbow discomfort again over the winter. A second MRI in January also showed no UCL tear.
Reporting to Spring Training in February as usual, Wheeler complained of elbow discomfort a third time last week, prompting the Mets to scratch him from his Saturday start. At the time, they said it was more due to a blister underneath his right middle fingernail than to anything related to the elbow, with Alderson going as far as to say that Wheeler would not need another MRI. That changed a day later, when the team sent him for one and forwarded the results to Dr. Altchek in New York.
Shortly thereafter, it became clear that Wheeler was destined to become the fifth Mets pitcher to undergo Tommy John surgery in the past 20 months, joining Harvey, Bobby Parnell, Jeremy Hefner (twice) and Josh Edgin. Several pitchers with partially torn UCLs have attempted to rehab their injuries instead of undergo surgery, most notably Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka. But rehab is only possible if the UCL is not completely torn, as Wheeler's is.
"It's a blow, but at the same time we knew there would be a lot of uncertainty surrounding Zack and his elbow over the course of the season," Alderson said. "We're obviously not happy he won't be with us, but I think if there's a silver lining, it's that we now have some certainty. We know that we have a solution for this, that he won't have to manage the kind of pain that I think he had to manage over the course of last season. Doing that over a career is simply unsustainable."
To replace Wheeler in the rotation, the Mets will almost certainly turn to Dillon Gee, a longtime starter who had been demoted to bullpen work. But the Mets also have several top prospects ready or close to ready for the Majors, including Noah Syndergaard, Steven Matz and Rafael Montero. They will be considerations early in the season, if not immediately.
Said Alderson: "We're still digesting the injury to Zack and really have not started to address that issue."

Wheeler satisfied elbow injury is not serious
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Rather than prepare for his originally scheduled Grapefruit League start against the Nationals, Mets pitcher Zack Wheeler spent his Saturday morning downplaying the elbow injury and blister that forced him to the sideline.
"It's something that I've had before and had to deal with," Wheeler said of his right elbow tendinitis in particular. "It mainly sort of picked up last year, but I've had it my whole career. It's been that way. I've dealt with it and stuff. I'm just going day-to-day with it."
For now, that means a brief period of rest. The Mets treated Wheeler's discomfort last season with anti-inflammatories and other treatments, but no injections. And Wheeler simply pitched through the pain — finishing 11-11 with a 3.54 ERA in his first full season. His blister is a recurring injury that he has had since high school, and also something he believes he can manage.
"Every pitcher in here pitches through pain at some point," Wheeler said. "It's just a matter of dealing with it. … You don't want to push yourself during Spring Training. The games don't mean anything here. I'm just trying to get myself right for the season when the games actually do mean something."
Wheeler plans to rest for a few days, throw a bullpen later this week and make his next scheduled start, as he continues to compete for an Opening Day assignment. Right-hander Tyler Pill took his spot Saturday against the Nationals, in what the Mets anticipate being a one-start hiatus.
Still, the club has reason to be concerned, considering Major League Baseball's growing history of elbow injuries turning into operations. Over the past 20 months, Mets pitchers Matt Harvey, Bobby Parnell and Jeremy Hefner (twice) have undergone Tommy John surgeries. Reliever Josh Edgin is currently considering an operation as well. Outside the Mets' clubhouse, Rangers ace Yu Darvish is about to join the growing ranks of top-flight arms headed for the operating table.
"You always have that in the back of your head, but you try not to change anything you're doing — arm angle, mechanics, that kind of stuff," Wheeler said. "You just keep doing what you're doing and trust it."

|Instructor Info:
|Becky Miller
Office Extension x5545
|TA Info:
|Abigail Hobart
Jesse French
|Meeting Info:
This course focuses on American southern old-time string band music, bluegrass, and early country song. We will draw on cultural theory to explore the growth of these musics throughout the 20th century as well as the influences of gender, music revivalism, and African-American musical expression. We will consider old time and bluegrass both from an historical perspective and as vital forms in communities today. There will be an off-campus fieldwork, weekly reading and listening assignments, and regular written assignments. This course also has a performance component: students will learn to play old time music by ear and develop a repertoire of dance music. Prior experience with old time and bluegrass is not necessary, but a basic working knowledge of one of the following instruments is required: fiddle (violin), banjo, guitar, upright bass, mandolin, harmonica, and other appropriate instruments. A painless audition in the first week of class will determine eligibility.
|Course Objectives:
Combining both academic engagement and performance skills, this course requires that students complete and substantially engage with regular reading assignments, short essays based on the assigned reading, and other written assignments. Energized, engaged participation in class discussions, during music sessions, as a member of a band, and in the class concert at the end of the semester are all mandatory.
There are also required (occasional) Monday night film screenings. If there's interest, we will also hold music sessions on Monday nights and, after spring break, mandatory string band coaching sessions.
Note: it is mandatory to attend any classes in which we have special guests.
|Evaluation Criteria:
This course will include weekly reading/listening assignments, occasional film screenings, an off-campus fieldwork project, short essay assignments based on the weekly reading assignments, and two 4-5 page essays, one of which is an ethnography of an old time or a bluegrass music session. Participation in classroom music sessions, performing with an assigned band, and participating in the end of the semester concert are also required.
|Additional Info:
Students are allowed 3 absences; anything more than this results in no evaluation (failing grade) for the course. Lateness for class counts as an absence.
