Alternative Dispute Resolution
Alternative Dispute Resolution Course Offerings
The following courses are electives that are offered at the Moritz College of Law. Not all courses are offered every semester. (See 2012-13 Offerings)
Advanced Issues in Dispute Resolution
3 credit hours
In this course, you will learn about dispute system design and apply what you have learned to consult with government and non-profit entities that seek to design or revise dispute resolution systems. The course resembles a clinic in the sense that the work will depend on the needs of these clients but differs because we will not provide legal representation. Students will have in-class assignments as well as memos and other work products for these entities seeking our assistance. (See an example of a past class project done to assist the Supreme Court of Ohio Dispute Resolution Program). Past classes or individual students within a class designed a curriculum in cross-cultural negotiation for Air Force officers, proposed a model mediation program for Ohio administrative agencies, helped to design and drafted a proposal to fund a mediation program for a Common Pleas Court, and wrote a manual on mediation of issues related to children and families for Ohio courts.
The course will meet the Advanced Studies requirement for the Dispute Resolution Certificate and the second writing requirement; it does not meet the seminar requirement unless special arrangements are made with the instructor to structure the work differently. The course is open to 3Ls who have taken at least one dispute resolution course and others by instructor permission. The course is scheduled over the year to accommodate the need to help a client over a longer period, although no class sessions are scheduled for spring semester. If there are special needs to earn all 3 credit hours during fall semester, please contact the instructor for permission to do so.
Alternative Dispute Resolution in the Workplace – Seminar
2 credit hours
This seminar will focus on the use of alternative methods of dispute resolution in the context of the workplace, including arbitration and mediation. Issues involving both labor arbitration and arbitration of individual employee disputes will be addressed, as will issues relevant to the mediation of employment disputes.
Commercial and Labor Arbitration
2 or 3 credit hours
In this course, students will learn about the law and practice of commercial and labor arbitration. Although business people and labor-management representatives commonly contract to resolve disputes using arbitration, different legal and practical rules apply to each type of arbitration. Legal, industry and ethical rules governing these kinds of arbitration will be discussed in the course. In addition, students will gain practical experience in the arbitration process: drafting an arbitration agreement as well as participating in arbitration hearings as both an advocate and an arbitrator. Students will also learn how to write a post-hearing arbitration brief. The course satisfies the second writing requirement and has limited enrollment.
Comparative Dispute Resolution
3 credit hours
This course examines methods of dispute resolution used domestically in other countries and compares them to those employed in the United States. We will explore how differences in culture, religion, history, and legal institutions affect the way people resolve conflicts. We will also consider how such factors are influencing the development of dispute resolution systems as alternatives to domestic court systems. Readings will include materials on cultural differences in conflict resolution and case studies on practices and developments in particular countries and regions. Just as one's understanding of English deepens as a result of studying a foreign language, one goal for the course is that by studying other approaches to dispute resolution, students will discover a fresh perspective on its practice and role in the United States.
Dispute Resolution Processes: Theory & Practice
3 credit hours
This dispute resolution course familiarizes students with the theory and practice of negotiation, mediation, arbitration, mini-trials, and other settlement processes, and with the law that governs them. Students develop skills in these processes through simulation exercises, demonstrations, discussions, and videotapes. The course is distinct from other dispute resolution course offerings in that it emphasizes lawyers' roles in representing clients: as a counselor – helping clients decide on appropriate approaches to resolving disputes and planning for them in structuring business relationships – and as an advocate – representing clients in dispute resolution processes. This course is especially appropriate for students who seek an introduction to dispute resolution processes and for those interested in developing skills central to representing clients.
Dispute Systems Design
3 credit hours
This is a course to prepare you to design new forums for particular disputes and also to design, or modify, disputing systems for series of disputes. It will be like a legal clinic in the sense that you will have a client with a particular problem to solve. It will differ from most legal clinics in the sense that you will not represent the client or perform legal work for the client but instead will serve as a forum or systems designer. During the course, you will apply to practical problems what you have already learned about dispute resolution, search for new ideas for resolving challenging new disputes, and apply what designers have learned from past experience.
Ethics and ADR Seminar
2 credit hours
This course offers both a survey in professional responsibility and in-depth application of the law governing lawyers to alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Grading is based on a pass/fail exam over the basic provisions of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and a substantial research paper involving a legal ethical issue as applied to the ADR context.
Inter-Ethnic Conflict Resolution Seminar
2 credit hours
The topic of this seminar is inter-ethnic conflict as it has affected maintenance of peace in various countries of the world. Students will be asked to write a single research paper. The paper may deal with a conflict in a particular country. It may deal with factors general to such conflicts. It may focus on the cause of inter-ethnic conflict, or on methods of resolution, or both. It may deal with international institutions as they have addressed ethnic conflict through peace-keeping or other methods.
International Business Arbitration
3 credit hours
The course examines the legal framework and practice of international arbitration, which is the primary means of resolving commercial disputes between parties in an international context. This is an evolving area of law that operates at the intersection of private contractual ordering, national law, and international treaties, with influences from public and private international arbitral institutions.
Topics covered include: Problems in international litigation that create motivation to arbitrate; the authority of arbitration tribunals; duties and selection of arbitrators; international arbitration procedures and the influence of national litigation systems; confirmation, setting aside, and enforcement of arbitral awards by national courts; and drafting arbitration agreements.
Students will participate in an arbitrator selection exercise and a negotiation and drafting exercise in order to explore the strategic choices involved in selecting an arbitral tribunal and creating an arbitration clause for an international commercial relationship. No background in alternative dispute resolution is required for this course.
International Dispute Resolution
3 credit hours
This course introduces students to the classic procedures for resolving international disputes. We will look at negotiation, mediation, fact-finding, conciliation, arbitration and judicial settlement, as well as transitional justice institutions and restorative justice approaches. Our emphasis will be on how these mechanisms operate in contemporary disputes and on how law governs their use. We will look at a range of cases and examples from boundary disputes to disputes over the use of the mechanisms themselves. The course focuses primarily on disputes that involve sovereign states and/or international organizations, but some cases we examine will concern international commercial disputes. The course also emphasizes the many new developments in this area of law and practice. For example, new systems of disputes resolution have been developed for trade disputes and maritime disputes. This focus aims to achieve a primary purpose of the course, namely, preparing students for careers in a global legal market.
Issues in Arbitration Seminar
3 credit hours
This course is an introduction to the law and practice of arbitration. Arbitration is a binding method of dispute resolution. Parties typically agree to arbitrate disputes before they know what disputes are likely to arise between them. Arbitration has historically been used primarily in labor-management disputes and commercial disputes. More recently and quite controversially, arbitration has been used to resolve statutory claims, such as employment discrimination, antitrust and RICO claims. As the use of arbitration increases, so does the controversy. This course will examine the legal and policy issues surrounding arbitration. In addition, this course will introduce students to the practice of arbitration. Students will revise an existing arbitration agreement and conduct arbitration hearings as both an advocate and arbitrator.
Law and Psychology
3 credit hours
(3 credit hours toward the Certificate in Dispute Resolution only if certain requirements met)
Law practice requires complex decision making, accurate appraisal of other people, and persuasive advocacy. Lawyers and their clients analyze disputes, decide how to structure business deals, determine when to accept offers in negotiation, evaluate the truthfulness of adversaries, and make a large number of other sophisticated decisions. When engaging in these activities, lawyers also attempt to influence the decisions of others; they try to persuade jurors, judges, opponents, business partners, legislators, and the public to favor their client's position.
Recent psychology research sheds surprising light on how people make decisions and how they can best persuade others. This course examines that research, exploring the various factors that drive human decision making and influence persuasiveness. The course applies this research to a variety of specific contexts in which lawyers serve as decision makers and advocates. By drawing upon the insights of modern cognitive science, the course prepares law graduates to enhance their decision making and advocacy in a broad number of roles. No prior training in psychology or social science research is necessary.
There is no final exam in this course. Instead, students complete several short assignments during the semester and write a final paper of approximately 10-pages on a subject of their choice.
This course may count toward the 15 credit hours required for the Certificate in Dispute Resolution. A student who completes the course and writes his or her final paper on an approved alternative dispute resolution topic will have all three credit hours count toward the certificate. A student who does not write his or her final paper on an ADR issue will earn one certificate credit hour.
Law and Social Science
2 credit hours
This course introduces the use of social science as a tool for legal analysis. The course will touch on aspects of many typical law school courses - criminal law, constitutional law, criminal procedure, and tort law - which social science research has examined. We start with the developments in American jurisprudence that legitimized the use of social science in the law. Then, we will examine the basic elements of legal methods and social science research methodology. You do not need a background in scientific methods or statistics; we will study methodology for the purpose of understanding the cases. For most of the semester, we will look at the substantive uses of social science in adjudication; how it is used: to resolve factual disputes; to make or change law, both constitutional and common law; as a general context or framework for deciding specific cases; and in planning the litigation of a case.
The Law of Disability Discrimination
4 credit hours
(2 credit hours towards the Certificate in Dispute Resolution)
This four credit course primarily covers the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Students interested in learning about the law of special education should take the Special Education Practicum.
This course covers employment discrimination, public entity discrimination, and public accommodation discrimination under the ADA. In addition, students will learn how to conduct an accessibility audit and mediate the results from such an audit. Students will be divided into teams and assigned buildings to audit at Ohio State University. Students will then seek to attain a voluntary resolution of the problems they discover through live negotiation with the responsible officials at OSU.
One day a week for this course will be a two hour segment in which students will learn skills related to conducting an accessibility audit and negotiation. The other two days of the course will be devoted to standard case law material. The course will count towards two credits of the Certificate in Alternative Dispute Resolution. The enrollment is limited to twenty students.
Lawyers as Leaders
3 credit hours
For generations, lawyers and people with legal training have used their skills to reach positions of influence in all spheres of public and private life. Combining readings on leadership theory, simulation exercises, and relying extensively on case studies featuring lawyers who have become successful leaders, this course develops a descriptive and normative picture of successful leadership in business, government, and the nonprofit sector. Through the cases and exercises, students will gain experience analyzing issues, exercising judgement, and making difficult decisions – the hallmarks of skillful leadership. The objective of the course is to help students think more broadly about leadership, increase their appreciation for the variety of leadership roles people with legal training may achieve throughout their careers, and prepare for positions of leadership themselves. Students who take this course must participate in the mandatory, one-day leadership development workshop to be held on a Saturday (morning and afternoon), with the specific date to be announced on the first day of class.
This course may count toward the 15 credit hours required for the Certificate in Dispute Resolution. A student who completes the course and writes his or her final paper on an approved alternative dispute resolution topic will have all three credit hours count toward the certificate. A student who does not write his or her final paper on an ADR issue will earn one certificate credit hour. Students must check with the Director of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Program, Professor Sarah Cole, or the Langdon Fellow in Dispute Resolution to determine if their topic qualifies them for all three credit hours."
Legal Negotiations
3 credit hours
Study of the theory, law, and practice of transactional and settlement negotiations. Selected topics include: relationship of bargaining concepts to democratic theory; adversarial versus problem-solving negotiating frameworks; distributive versus integrative negotiating issues; comparison of bargaining dynamics and advocate strategies deployed in 2-party negotiations and multi-party negotiations; representing clients in a facilitated negotiation; and ethical dilemmas for negotiators. Class structure blends large class meetings with small section format; small sections are led by adjunct professors with experience in dispute resolution. Participation in the Lawrence Negotiation Competition (Fall) is a required component of the course. Targeted simulations will occur during the scheduled class time.
Litigation and ADR Research
Litigation and ADR Research provides students with an introduction to litigation- and ADR-related materials and advanced training on the finding and utilization of these materials. Topics covered will include form books, court rules and jury instructions, arbitrator and mediator research, trial technique research, interdisciplinary resources, and other topics useful in litigation and ADR settings.
Mediation Seminar/Practicum
4 credit hours
This combined seminar and practicum provides a study of critical legal, ethical, and policy issues that have emerged with the increased use of mediation for the resolution of disputes and an opportunity to develop skills as a mediator. Each student will mediate disputes at the Franklin County Municipal Court and/or Franklin County Night Prosecutor's Program under the supervision of the staff attorney. Students who take this course MUST have at least one afternoon available (excluding Friday) and Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday evening free each week for clinic activity and attend the weekend mediation training. Students will not be asked to mediate every week, but a consistent availability is necessary to schedule mediations. Each student will write and present a substantial research paper (preceded by a rough draft). Students who have taken another College of Law course in mediation may not take this course.
Middle East Conflict
2 credit hours
Seminar participants will be asked to write a single research paper on a topic relating to the Israeli-Palestinian territorial conflict, and to make an oral presentation on that topic at a meeting of the seminar. Topics may be oriented to modes of resolving the conflict, to particular manifestations of the conflict, or to the history of development of the conflict. Papers may, instead of focusing entirely on the conflict, analyze legal issues involved in the conflict, or international institutions that play a role in seeking resolution.
Multiparty Mediation Practicum
4 credit hours
This course examines the legal, ethical, and policy issues that arise when using the mediation process to resolve multi-party controversies. Students work with the professor and staff attorney as neutral interveners in the development of party engagement protocols, problem definition, and mediated negotiations for multi-party disputes. In addition to the applied work, each student must write an analytical paper that examines an important policy issue or critiques a significant work of scholarship in the field and submit several smaller writing projects. Students who take this course MUST have at least one afternoon (excluding Friday) and either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday evening free for clinic activity and must participate in the mandatory weekend training program, usually scheduled during one of the first two weekends of the semester.
Negotiation and Mediation Advocacy
2 credit hours, Fall Break
This course offers skills and strategies for effective negotiation and mediation advocacy emphasizing the importance of building working relationships and achieving better outcomes in individual and group negotiation and mediation. Two broad objectives have been built into the course design: to practice basic negotiation skills through interactive exercises and to familiarize the student with various strategies for dispute resolution other than resolving differences through litigation. The student will learn how to prepare effectively for negotiation and mediation, how to negotiate agreements on contentious issues and how to review a negotiation or mediation with an eye toward developing rules of thumb for what went well and for improving what might have been handled differently. Course grading will be determined by a final introspective, self-evaluative journal (67%) and class participation during the interactive exercises and their debriefing (33%)
Special Education Practicum
3 credit hours
This three credit course primarily covers the law of special education as provided in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ("IDEA"). Students interested in learning about the Americans with Disabilities Act should take The Law of Disability Discrimination.
This course will be taught in conjunction with an attorney who practices special education law with Columbus Legal Aid, as well as in conjunction with professors in various allied health professions who specialize in assisting children with disabilities.
A primary emphasis of the class will be to teach students about the process under which students are identified as disabled and provided with Individualized Education Plans ("IEPs"). After receiving training on the IDEA and negotiation, students will be teamed with parents who are seeking assistance in developing adequate IEPs for their children. Students will not be engaged in the practice of law and will not need a third-year practice certificate to work with parents. The teams will consist of both law students and nonlaw students who have expertise in special education.
Enrollment in the class will be limited to twelve law students and eight nonlaw students who are engaging in graduate work related to special education. The course will count towards one credit of the Certificate in Alternative Dispute Resolution.
The final grade for this course will be based primarily on the student's participation at an IEP meeting and a take-home final examination (which can be taken as part of a team).
This class will only meet two hours per week but students will be required to attend a Saturday training session. They will also be required to attend an IEP meeting at some time during the semester.

>:"Fair question. I was including the requirement to heat the fuel up from, say, 20 C to wherever it boils."Got it. While for fuels gaseous at ambient temps (propane, often butane), you primarily need to provide the latent heat, for high-boiling compounds, you need to provide a lot of sensible heat as well. Yes, then diesel would need to absorb more heat to boil than white gas than butane. Also, because the deltaT is less between the burner flame and heavier fuel to be heated and because the heated fuel vapor will have more losses once it leaves the vaporizer section, you'd need an even larger convective or conductive heat exchanger to heat that fuel.
Hello all, this is my first post at BPL!I had some thoughts on regulating the thermal feedback to the inlet tube based on temperature. Don't discard your heat shunt concept just yet.You might be able to achieve regulation (preferably automatic regulation) by either varying the thermal conductivity of some parts of the stove, or by varying the exposure to thermal energy of some parts.To vary the thermal conductivity of the structure, it would be nice to have a material that has a thermal conductivity with a strong and inverse dependence on temperature. As the temperature of the conducting parts rose, the conductivity would decrease, thereby reducing the thermal energy transmitted to the fuel. Unfortunately, I don't know of any such materials.But, varying the exposure of the inlet tube and connected parts may be possible. In this case, you would want something to move as the temperature rose. What I imagine here is one of your flat metal shunts made out of bi-metal sheet. As the temperature of the shunt rose, the shunt would bend away from the flame, reducing its exposure and consequently the amount of heat conducted down to the inlet tube. The regulation would vary smoothly with temperature. Alternatively, you might find a shape memory alloy that would bend out of the way at an appropriate temperature. This deflection could potentially be much greater than with the bimetal, but all the deflection would occur over a narrow temperature range, which might be ok or even desirable. Or, you could go low-tech and just put your shunt on a hinge and manually flip it out of the way or adjust it once the stove is warmed up, at least for initial testing. You would probably want the rest of the stove to be designed to contribute relatively little heat transfer to the inlet tube, so that the moving component could have maximum control of thermal feedback.You might think of other variations on this theme.-Stephen
Hi Stuart> a hole thru' the centre of a brass M5 bolt and then brazed the SS vaporiser tube> into the hole. The bolt with tube then screws into the aluminium baseYes, I played around with this idea too, but I had trouble getting it miniaturised and hermetic. It remains possible though.> a little anaerobic threadlock for good measure. That bit worried me. Most anaerobic threadlocks are based on methacrylate, which has a limited tenperature range. Maybe a silicone sealant could be used instead?Maybe I will have another look some time.Cheers
Stephen, that's something along the lines of what I was proposing. Great minds think alike.Unfortunately, so do mediocre ones.
> flat metal shunts made out of bi-metal sheet.Novel! I imagine it could work.But sourcing the material ...Cheers
not sure if they could be made to work in this application, but bi-metal coils are at the heart of most house thermostats, and there's probably a mature technological base that knows how to manipulate their properties.
Bi-metal sounds very interesting and it should not be hard or expansive to source.Picture: http://www.google.se/imgres?imgurl=http://www.hilli1.de/Physik/Folien/Waerme1/Bimetall.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.hilli1.de/Physik/Folien/Waerme1/Bimetall.htm&h=660&w=514&sz=23&tbnid=oZjbVetxRYXVOM:&tbnh=89&tbnw=69&zoom=1&usg=__IAb2lOT2K7tr0ORmGJq8mXWP4rc=&docid=1VfhP_GJPe_5DM&hl=sv&sa=X&ei=FkY4Uf6QO4vesgbykYCYBA&ved=0CEAQ9QEwBQ&dur=670

It doesn't even have to be bimtallic in the traditional sense of two alloys continuously bonded to each other. Simply two metal rods triangulated with a narrow base would, if allowed to pivot, bend away from the hot side. The hot rod could be either a conductor of heat to a vaporizer or the vaporizer tube itself. The cold rod could be a turnbuckle to field tune it for ambient temps or different fuel types ( butane, white gas, diesel, yak's milk, etc).
So, what is the heat of vaporization of yak's milk?--B.G.--
>Novel! I imagine it could work.>But sourcing the material ...I don't usually give novel ideas away. If you make it big in the stove industry, you owe me some CNC play time...Here's some useful info on bimetals. These guys would probably send you some samples if you tell them you are developing a product.http://www.cladit.com/tech.html

Roger,Very interesting what you've learned by experimentation (and frustration at times, no doubt). Sounds like it's all about the heat and consequent pressure within the canister although I still wonder some about the Jetboil Sol (although I suppose if I'm really curious I can do a bit of experimentation). Interesting bit about the difficulty of sealing a pre-heat loop. The FMS-118 Volcano at least has the sealing right (although it seems they've got the diameter a bit too big). I do notice the Kovea Moonwalker uses a shunt instead of a pre-heat loop. The one thing I don't like about this arrangement is that the whole stove gets quite hot and takes a while before I can reasonably pack it away, but the Moonwalker has a lot of metal. Smaller, UL style stoves will likely not have this problem.It's late, and I don't have any particularly brilliant insight to add (would that I did), but I thank you for writing yet another article that very few people are in a position to write. It is such articles that make BPL such a great place to be a part of (well, and the people too of course).HJAdventures In Stoving
Actually, Kevin, you apparently are a stove designer. I think you just designed a SVEA 123.Here's our own HikinJim priming one with denatured alcohol:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfRRs4x51k8But the alcohol used is more like 3 ml on a cool day. Maybe two such treatments ( 2 x 3 ml) in snow-camping conditions.
Roger, I just noticed this elsewhere on BPL regarding your MYOG canister remote stove:
Works with standard screw-thread canisters, French Campingaz canisters, and Coleman Powermax canisters, all in full winter mode. This means I can use it virtually anywhere around the world.
Hi JimAll the details, in great and gory (or glorious) depth, will be revealed soon. The connector is more like the French Campingaz one than the Superfly. I tried the Superfly and was, frankly, a bit scared of the way MSR had done it. Things flexed ... It was not an option for me.The pin - you would not believe how much trouble that gave me! The Lindal valves are all different. Yes, a solution was found, and yes, it will be in the article to come.Fwiiw: I have been using my winter stove for 6 - 9 months now.Cheers(Yes, I know I'm mean not giving all the details now ...)
IANASG (I am not a stove geek), so maybe this is a dumb question:Given all the troubles vaporizing butane, why not make light canisters with 100% propane specifically for winter use?Why are Coleman-style propane steel canisters the only ones on the market anywhere close to backpacking size?(Edit) And to answer my own question:http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/canister_stove_faq
Edited by Rex on 03/09/2013 10:56:30 MST.
As the link you added explains, pure propane is so high pressure, it requires thicker steel. About exactly the weight of the propane regardless of size (14 oz. 16 oz, 20-pound/4.5-gallon, 80-pound, etc). There are about three people on this very gear-heady site that I'd trust to load their own lighter canisters for winter-only use and be damn sure they never got above room temperature during transit and use. Those safety margins are used for good reason as HikinJim, RogerC, and I have all proved at times. Now if someone offered a refillable 200-gram fuel weight aluminum or titanium propane canister, I'd order a handful.
I own a Chevy Siverado that I had converted to Run on Natural Gas. It has a polymer tank that is wrapped in fiberglass and carbon fiber.It has a fill pressure of 3600 PSI.I just use public fill stations but there are several types of home filling stations.It would be nice to just have a small refillable bottle to use with my stove! No more issue with low temps and no more canisters in landfills.Maybe 3M or GE see an ultralight mini tank in there future?
> It has a polymer tank that is wrapped in fiberglass and carbon fiber.Bring it on!!!!!But the cost of production would likely be swamped by the cost of development and insurance and safety testing and getting approvals and ...Sigh.Cheers
Roger that is most definitely the problem!It is amazing what is out there just waiting Well my son can look forward to such high tech gear!In 25 years who knows what possible

One might also argue that testing a 14 year old is rather useless since educational standards might've changed, i.e., decisions might've been brought about having kids start school later or perhaps their education was a bit lightened up in the years up to 14 or so and hardened after 14 or so. These are of course huge assumptions but such findings are entirely possible, and especially when you have the data pool of the entire world, meaning about 200 countries.
This is why I personally find the PISA scores to be a rather bad standard for comparing education in various countries. For example, in some countries you start school at 7 and in some at 5. This automatically means the former countries' results will be lower assuming the educational quality is the same. I'm seriously baffled as to why they don't test adults who're done with their education and judge the education of a given country based on that.

Kate Shaffer's Filo Cigars with Cabrales Cheese, Bittersweet Chocolate, and Sherry Dipping Sauce
Serves 8 to 10 as an appetizer
1 package frozen filo dough, thawed
4 ounces Cabrales cheese, or domestic blue cheese, at room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature freshly ground black pepper, to taste sea salt, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
safflower oil for frying
1/2 cup apricot or peach jam
1/4 cup dry sherry
Remove the stack of filo from the package, unfurl, and cover with a slightly damp, clean dish towel.
With a fork, mash the blue cheese and the cream cheese together in a small bowl, and season with a little pepper and salt.
Remove one sheet of filo from the stack and lay it on the countertop, with the longer end closest to you. Brush the whole thing with olive oil. Lay another sheet on top of the first.
Brush with olive oil.
Cut the stacked sheets vertically into thirds.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling along the width of each section of the filo on the end closest to you. Place a few bits of chopped chocolate on top of the cheese.
Roll the filo into a cigar, pausing in the middle of the sheet to fold the ends in, so that the filling is completely encased in filo. Place the cigar on a cookie sheet and repeat this process with the remaining two sections of filo. Continue to stack, cut, fill, and roll filo until all the cheese and chocolate is used up.
Pour about 1 1/2 inches of safflower oil into a wide, heavy skillet and heat on medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350 on an instant-read thermometer. Fry the cigars in several batches, turning once, until they are golden and crispy. Drain them on paper towels.
In a small saucepan, heat the jam and the sherry together until warm.
Season with salt and
pepper and pour into a small bowl.
Place the bowl of dipping sauce in the middle of a large dinner plate.
Arrange the cigars
around the bowl in a sunburst. Serve immediately.

Re: College
your obligation to the united states and the national guard come first and foremost. With that being said, you can manage both so much as it doesn't conflict with your training events or monthly drill weekends. Keep in mind you might be deployed or mobilized during your time in the guard as well. Don't let the deployment part scare you. You'll get both experience, respect, and additional benefits if that ever happens. It comes with the job
You should still be eligible for your monthly GI Bill regardless. I have talked with quite a few guardsman who are 21st century scholars that don't even use their educational benefits from the guard except for summer school. Some of them have typically use their GI Bill to pay for books.
Re: College
You may want to look into enlisting as a band member in the National Guard. A tryout is required and is very challenging but well worth it if that's a passion of yours and you're good enough.
You can use the National Guard college benefits along with any financial aid and scholarships you may be awarded.
Best of luck!

I actually had a school teacher in high school who was a sax player in the army reserve band
Re: College
There are many benefits to being in the Guard Band, one of which is the education level and motivation of the band members themselves. You will be exposed to a bunch of guys that have anything from a high school diploma up to a Master's Degree. It's quite a difference from the regular enlisted soldiers, at least that was my experience. I was in a Guard Band a long time ago, and the unit we were attached to didn't do much of anything. It was a company that was designed to process paperwork, so on drill weekends the enlisted men spent most of their time trying to hide from the officers, and nobody knew what the officers were doing.
Re: College
Also, if you enlist in the Guard Band, the Guard Band will be more sympathetic to you needing to "make-up" drill weekends because of football games. If you were in the Guard Band I was in and you had a college football game to march at, you simply needed to ask for permission ahead of time to make up the drill weekend. The standard procedure was to provide a football schedule to the Guard as soon as it became available. There was always the chance the Guard would not allow a makeup drill, but this never happened. You would come in during the week and do some office work, or whatever the fulltime AGR person needed done.
The best benefit of being in the Guard Band is probably the pay. You enlist as E-4 before basic. Your AIT could be nice and long, which would be some pretty big bucks for a 18-19 year old.

PLAINVIEW- Any hope for the Borger Lady Bulldog Softball Team extending its 2011 season was quickly done away with on Saturday afternoon.
The Andrews Lady Mustangs scored 10 runs in the top of the first inning, setting the tone for the Lady Mustang 17-1 win in game two of the best-of-three series.
After winning game one on Friday evening, Andrews took the 3A Area Round playoff series two games to none to advance to the 3A Regional Quarterfinals this coming weekend against Lubbock Cooper.
A lead off home run sparked the big first inning with eight hits and three Lady Bulldog errors, leading to Andrews taking a 0-10 lead.
After Andrews added two runs in the second inning, the Lady Bulldogs tried to get a rally going in the bottom of the third inning with senior Joanne Jones hitting a double and Alex Lopez reaching base on a Andrews error.
Two batters later, sophomore Desiree Jiminez connected for a RBI single to make it a 1-12 score. Unfortunately, the one run would be all the Lady Bulldogs would get across home plate with Andrews converting a 4-3 double play to get off the field in the third inning.
Before all was said and done, Andrews scored five more runs, leading to the game being called after five innings.
While there is no question losing the series is a big disappointment for the Lady Bulldogs, the team has plenty to be proud of in the manner it improved from just six wins in 2010 to 19 wins and an Area Round playoff berth this season.
The Lady Bulldogs graduate six seniors, which will lead to several positions to be filled going into 2012. However, with a good nucleus and several solid young players coming up the pipe, the Lady Bulldogs softball program appears to have a bright future moving forward.

Reel >
What They're Saying:
THN – "It's expected J.T. Miller will be pulled in different
directions by the time he's drafted. He
has made a verbal commitment to NCAA's North
Dakota, but the OHL's Plymouth Whalers own his junior
rights and they'll push hard to get him into the fold. 'I think he'll end up in Plymouth,' a scout said. 'I know he's on the fence, so whoever drafts
him will probably try to convince him to go to Plymouth.' Scouts do like Miller's skill level, but what really has them excited is
his work ethic and willingness to drive the net on a consistent basis. There are inconsistencies in his game, but
when he's motivated and playing well he can be difficult to handle. 'He gives you the same effort every shift,'
another scout said. 'He works his butt
off. He has skill and maybe can play on
your top two lines, but I think he'll be better at the NHL level as a role
player or defensive specialist.' Miller
could easily slide down into the third round."
Scouting Report – "The skill set to be reliable 2 way forward has always
been there as prior to this year, Miller has been at worst a strong skating
centerman who plays hard on both sides of the puck. He always possessed the
puck skills necessary to contribute offensively but lacked that consistency
leading to questions about his hockey sense. Miller seems to have answered
those as the year progressed culminating in an excellent showing at the U18's.
There are some rumblings that the North Dakota recruit will opt for Plymouth in the OHL."
2011 Draft Watch – "We're not as bullish on Miller as others are, but we
agonized over whether to include the immensely talented Ohio native who played his minor hockey for
the Pittsburgh Hornets organization after his explosion at the Under-18s in
April. All year, we watched Miller and recognized his excellent size, skating,
hands and sense, but wondered why he was having so much trouble translating his
myriad natural gifts into production. Miller showed what he's capable of when
he led Team USA
in scoring en route to an unprecedented third consecutive gold medal at that
tourney by the Americans. When on top of his game, he can back defenses up with
his ability to handle the puck at top speed. He uses his big frame to shield
the puck well and can hit open teammates with pinpoint passes. He
and Rocco Grimaldi teamed up with Reid Boucher for a memorable
goal against Canada- Grimaldi blew Travis Ewanykoff the puck with a big
hit behind the net. As it skittered to Miller, he already knew where Boucher
was just inside the left circle and zipped a crisp pass right into Boucher's
wheelhouse. In a split second, it was by Malcolm Subban. Those are the
kinds of plays Miller didn't make with enough regularity this season, but we
wouldn't at all be surprised if an NHL club jumped on him in the top-15. The
skills are there, we're just not sure about the rest of the package to be able
to score consistently at the highest level."
Future – "Miller plays the style that many of us expect of an American
prospect. He makes the Leclairs, Tkachuks and Guerins proud. He is a driven
forward who will do whatever it takes to get the puck into the net. He finds
himself in scoring situations on almost every shift. And when he's not trying
to score, he's trying to get the puck and his tenacious and physical style can
really take a toll on opponents. Miller is an easy player to like and
definitely the kind of player you want on your team instead of lining up
against it."
Allen – "He is 6-2, can skate like the wind and is just starting to explore
the enormity of his talent. He has the potential to be dominant."
Hockey Writers – "Considered a power forward, Miller does have considerable
offensive upside, which he should hone while playing NCAA hockey. He posses
good speed, and loves to go to the net. He can also be considered a pest to
opposing players because of how hard he goes to the net. Miller should be turn into a good American
power forward in the likes of a Brandon Dubinsky. He is a project pick however,
and may take the full four years at college to fully develop his game."
THN.com – "A two-way performer with skill and hockey sense, Miller has contributed to
Team USA's
offense no matter where the competition comes from. The left winger has tallied
his fair share of points against NCAA schools, international teams and the
United States League, where he is tied for third in NTDP scoring with 10 points
in 12 games."
Woodlief, Red Line Report – "Miller doesn't get the love he deserves, but
is a strong bull of a lad who can impact a game in a number of ways. He plays a
hard-driving style and can overpower defenders in the corners, winning puck
battles and heading straight to net. His playmaking ability is underrated and
he unleashes a heavy shot while barreling down the wing."

Thoughts: A late-riser, Miller has rocketed up draft boards
and there are now those that believe he could be a top-10 pick. It's obvious that some are in love with his
considerable potential while others aren't as convinced that he's poised to be
a dominant pro. Miller has size and has
already established himself as a two-way player, so he seems like a good bet to
make it to the NHL. The question is in
what capacity and opinions are obviously split.
The Rangers have had success drafting young Americans in
recent years and might give serious thought to selecting Miller at No. 15.

After the constant buzz around Carrier IQ and its prolific data collecting software... which is purported to be a service that collects information from the customer handsets of certain mobile carriers, the company has finally decided to pipe up amid what is shaping up to be an escalating scandal. They have released a detailed report regarding its stealth app software in an effort to protect themselves by outlining what they do and why they do it. Accessories are designed to protect, personalize and enhance your mobile devices. Discover innovative protective solutions and premium electronic accessories from the industry's most leading brands
According to Carrier IQ, the Android log files that sparked this controversy did contain unencrypted personal information. However, following that admission the company stated that those were cases that should not normally occur. So why did it? Some mobile device handsets come preloaded with Carrier IQ which causes messages to debug from the pre-production manufacturer software. In other words, the transmittance of unencrypted data is the by-product of faulty software – not an intentional action of data stealing and reporting to carriers. For current Android customers, there are apps to seek out the cloaked software. For those prospective customers, who want security against this type of big brother monitoring need to explore the freedom offered by unlocked cell phones - break free from service provider long term contracts; choose your preferred service providers and negotiate a service packages that meet your individual lifestyle needs.
As it stands, the company has recognized that there is a flaw in the software that needs to be addressed. At the moment, Carrier IQ is collaborating with mobile device manufacturers and carriers alike to roll out a comprehensive fix that will protect customer and data privacy. End goal is to cease the debugging messages entirely as soon as a smartphone has been activated. Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Protect your devices from scratches and blemishes with our stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside our brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
Beyond unencrypted log files, greater cause for concern was the accusation of Carrier IQ recording SMS transactions. They are deflecting blame to one up to another bug in the app that results in recorded messages under vague "unique circumstances." The circumstances that were mentioned included receipt of an SMS while in the middle of a call or data session. Not quite an uncommon or unique occurrence. Thankfully the SMS messages relayed back to Carrier IQ are encrypted for a higher degree of data privacy. Enhance your mobility... turn your device into a power tool. Discover the select accessories such, stylus & pens, batteries, microSD memory cards, chargers, glider gloves and other premium electronic gadgets specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
While an exact timeline hasn't been announced, there was a promise made that the issue would be handled and fixed quickly.
And, for those most affected, the 19 page report is available to the public in PDF form. Please see previous blog entries for additional details regarding unlocked cell phones and for a partial list of carriers involved.

Performance 2: Simone Forti
Saturday, March 7, 2009, 3:00 p.m.
Special Exhibitions Gallery, second floor
Simone Forti's dance constructions of 1961 are based on improvisation and chance. In Huddle, dancers gather in a tightly packed group, then take turns climbing over the mass, forming a living sculpture that moves through the gallery. Platforms is a dance construction and duet in which performers lie under wooden platforms and communicate by whistling. In Accompaniment for La Monte's "2 sounds" and La Monte's "2 sounds," a twelve-minute recording by Minimalist composer La Monte Young plays as a dancer stands in a large loop of rope suspended from the ceiling; a second person turns the dancer around and around until the rope is completely wound up, and then releases. The piece ends when the recording stops.
In conjunction with the exhibition Performance 2: Simone Forti

It's not surprising that most people have a love/hate relationship with hot pants. The daring trend has had its fair share of ups and downs throughout the years, and is a notoriously tricky clothing item to pull off for most! Yet, thanks to so many noteworthy collections featuring preposterously stylish versions of these micro-sized shorts on the runways, we have a hunch this leggy look will become a spring favorite! Whether you opt to style them with a sophisticated button-up a la Jason Wu or over opaque tights like Zoe Kravitz, we can assure you this is an of-the-moment trend for fashion thrill-seekers!
Though it seemed as if every designer had their own version of hot pants this season, we were particularly drawn to the iterations at Jason Wu and Aquilano Rimondi, especially the way both labels successfully managed to make short shorts look completely chic for daytime! Wu created a sophisticated and surprisingly charming look befitting a weekend soiree by simply pairing his Floral Print Cotton Shorts ($865,212.941.9656) with a tucked-in Ivory Silk Chiffon Shirt with Beaded Collar ($1995, 212.206.1272) and beige Coated Nylon Windbreaker ($1595, 617.262.6100). Equally noteworthy, albeit more feminine, was the single pair of upper-thigh-baring shorts in the Aquilano Rimondi collection. For a look that's sweetly sexy, designers Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi cleverly teamed their pale yellow printed shorts with a voluminous top cinched at the waist with a bow-bedecked belt.
On the flip side, if you consider yourself a fearless sartorialist, you're sure to appreciate the bold styles seen at Dolce & Gabbana and Balenciaga! We can't think of a cooler pair of short shorts than the Jewel Embroidered Briefs (price upon request, 877.70.DGUSA) at Dolce & Gabbana. The way Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana teamed the embellished bottoms with a delicate, sheer Black Lace Top ($1245, 877.70.DGUSA) and Black Mesh and Patent Leather Booties ($1095, 877.70.DGUSA) is admirable; it's just the kind of ensemble you'd want to wear when channeling a pop style icon like Madonna or Rihanna! Finally, we also approve of the Embroidered Douppion Silk Shorts ($2150, 212.206.0872) at Balenciaga, which were belted high on the waist and paired with the Silk Crepe Top ($1645, 212.206.0872) in Blush for a more luxe-minimalist take on the trend.
While hot pants are clearly having a moment on the runways, this trend translates well into real life too! For example, we came across the always-stylish Zoe Kravitz at New York Fashion Week early last month sporting a pair of Reformation Rita shorts and completely swooned over her carefree look. If you're concerned with the thought of baring so much leg, follow Kravitz's lead and wear your hot pants over a pair of sheer or opaque tights. Loose or oversized layers, like Kravitz's perforated knit top and long coat, also help balance the body-hugging fit of the bottoms, resulting in a look that's sultry, yet not too revealing.
If you're ready to get into some hot pants this spring, do yourself a favor and check out a few of our must-try picks. To get started, we've noted a handful of solid-colored options, and are especially fond of Rekiem's Suedette High Waist Shorts ($75) in Rust, Lover's Corduroy Ono Shorts ($241) in Ruby, and American Apparel's snazzy Disco Shorts ($52) in Midnight Navy. Since you're working with a single color on bottom, all of these shorts would look smart worn with a tucked-in printed blouse. If you prefer your short shorts to have a little more pizzazz, don't miss Kenny Guadalajara's High Waisted Baja Stripe Shorts ($138) or Forever 21's Sequin Leopard Hot Pants ($18), as well as ASOS' Hotpants ($54) in Luxe Metallic Animal Print and Free People's Embroidered Hot Pants ($246), selections that are sure to make a statement. We also approve of all the super cute hot pants at Topshop, especially the Holographic Knicker Shorts ($40) and the Floral Printed Knickers ($45). Whatever style you pick, don't forget to add a pair of tights-Wolford's Satin de Luxx Tights ($68) should do the trick-or layer them under a sheer maxi skirt for a noteworthy ensemble you can wear running errands during the day or to a cool fashion fete at night.-Jessica Baker

|A Few Jabs in Blowing Rock Candidate Forum
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 23 October 2013 06:24
The gloves stayed on for most of the Blowing Rock candidates' forum last night, the Blowing Rock Chamber event using a format in which some questions were given ahead of time, others fielded on the fly. It was in the closing statements of mayoral candidates J.B. Lawrence and Dan Phillips
that showed that the actual campaign on the street is much less congenial. J.B Lawrence opened the criticism of his opponent's tactics, "Why did our local elections get so contentious? He's using postcards as a scare tactic to influence voters. Is this what Blowing Rock is all about? I don't think so. This is Blowing Rock, not New York City. You all are smarter than that." But Dan Phillips had the last word, "You can't be disrespectful to the small business and also disrespectful to the people. So I will assure you that when Celeste and I represent this town, we will be great ambassadors—and we won't be disrespectful to the opponent." More from the council candidates in later news. Early voting is underway, and election day is November 5th.

Amanda Seyfried's ability to steal the scene in a whip-smart comedy like Mean Girls and carry a thriller like Jennifer's Body is truly a testament to her versatility as an actress. Not surprisingly, she's a bit of a chameleon when it comes to her personal style as well, shifting from chic yet relaxed streetwear to stunning, directional red carpet looks. That's why we've asked Seyfried--who's conquered yet another genre in her latest film, the musical drama Les Miserables which has already been nominated for four Golden Globes--to share some of her stylish must-haves as our December Guest Editor. Read on for the handbag she's coveting, her favorite read, and much more.Givenchy Antigona Satchel Bag ($2405)
Whether she's walking her dog, Finley, or heading to a business meeting, Seyfried's always on the go, which is why Givenchy's structured satchel is her perfect bag pick. Its sizable shape and cross-body strap make it a truly convenient carrier!
Freedom: A Novel ($10) by Jonathan Franzen
As bibliophiles ourselves, we were delighted when Seyfried included one of her most beloved books in this roundup. The contemporary novel charts the lives of a modern-day American family, exploring the ups and downs of love and marriage over decades.
Ariko Jewelry Still of the Night Ring ($1040)
Ariko Jewelry's vintage-inspired diamond ring is delicate and pretty, but not without a touch of edge befitting Seyfried's youthful aesthetic.
Vita Fede Bracelets ($315-$375)
Seyfried's a fan of clean lines and classic shapes, particularly when it comes to her jewelry repertoire. She suggests stacking Vita Fede's bangles, like the Mini Titan Stone Bracelet ($375), Mini Omega Bracelet ($315), and Omega Bracelet ($350), for a visually intriguing accent. Side note: these pieces are produced in the same factories that make Celine and Givenchy's costume jewelry, and are definitely luxurious plated in 24-karat rose gold.
Nicholas Kirkwood Satin and Glitter Sandals ($1262)
When she's off duty, Seyfried opts for comfortable footwear like flats or combat boots. But when the occasion calls for a little glamour, she indulges in a pair of statement heels, like these Nicholas Kirkwood strappy sandals.
J Brand 811 Mid-Rise Skinny Leg Jeans ($198)
Every true stylesetter is partial to a classic pair of skinnies, which you can team with a breezy t-shirt and boots for a relaxed look or dress up with a silk blouse and heels for a night out. Seyfried vouches for J Brand's flattering fit and versatile blue denim rinse.
Matsuda Matte Grey Tortoise Sunglasses with Grey Polarized Lens ($545)
Designed by cult talent Mitsuhiro Matsuda, this legendary Japanese eyewear brand is a true insider favorite. These handcrafted shades are an understated cool-girl essential. Seyfried appreciates the timeless shape, plus the gray color palette offers a chic alternative to basic black sunglasses.
Alexander McQueen Resort 13 Look 25
Seyfried's not afraid to experiment with bold looks on the red carpet, relying on Alexander McQueen for many of her Les Miserables press events. Naturally, she chose the striking Black Sleeveless Dress With Gold Embroidery (price upon request, 212.645.1797) from the label's Resort 13 collection as her favorite party ensemble. Its long, lean silhouette and gold print are decidedly glamorous, just the look she needs for standing out at an awards show or movie premiere.
Cle de Peau Beaute Concealer ($70)
The secret to Seyfried's famously flawless complexion? She uses Cle de Peau Beaute's incredible concealer, which hides the tiniest imperfections for natural, long-lasting coverage.
T by Alexander Wang Linen and Silk-Blend Slub-Jersey T-Shirt ($98)
A great t-shirt is one of the building blocks of Seyfried's weekend casual wardrobe. She likes the comfortable fit of T by Alexander Wang's luxe yet laid-back tees, perfect for teaming with worn-in jeans and a cozy cardigan.--Tiffany Tse

Aragorn and I were just yapping on irc and this came up..thought it might make an interesting topic.
So...why did you decide on linux?
I've used MS from day 1 of my computing, started with Win95.
Personally, I *really* like Win2k. I've beat the hell out of it and it's stayed solid and stable and really useful for me...much moreso than Win9x or NT...though I'm not much of a gamer to begin with. I haven't, nor do I intend to, mess around with WinXP. And that brings me to why I've decided on linux.
I've grown past the point of the mindless, point & click, do it for me, MS is god, I'll blindy take what they say as gospel sort of mindframe
My biggest issues with MS are privacy and security.
I don't care to deal with any sort of .NET thingie, and have my personal info stored and sent to god knows who without my knowledge....no f**in' thanks.
Security on the other hand, is a different issue. MS has the most popular OS's on the planet, so of course they're going to be the victims of the majority of the exploit. *Nix is no stranger to major exploits either though.
MS's recent stand on exploit disclusure is an atrocity.
Yea, I'd *love* to find out, 3 months after the fact, that my personal and credit card data, has been available to any script kiddee with an internet connection, and MS knew about it the whole time...kiss my ass.
Disclosure of exploits is *the best* way to be sure that vendors take care of problems and potential problems as soon as possible.
Take a gander at the bugtraq mailing list sometime (www.securityfocus.com). You'll be amazed and possibly frightened at what's going on who knows about it. If MS's viewpoint becomes the norm, people are going to become more and more the mindless automaton thinking that they're privacy is intact when it really isn't. Good god...some vendors actually have blown off serious issues, calling them non-issues, for months until something major has happened and their customers have been compromised.
And that's just unacceptable.
With linux... *I* have the power to do something about it. I have access to the source codes for apps that I can patch myself if need be, though most things are updated within hours of something being discovered. That's not necessarily the case with MS. Sometimes you have to wait until "the next service patch" comes out, and then hope it doesn't utterly screw up your system...
And that's not to mention the fact that you have to reboot the machine for most changes to MS to take effect. Um..isn't NT/2k supposed to be a hardcore networking OS? how the hell can that be justified when you have downtime because you had to reboot to make a SOFTWARE change take effect? I can't even install a patch to Outlook Express (an email client!!)without rebooting it, much less, change the static IP of a winbox.
That just boggles me completely, always has.
I've yet to find these issues with linux, and I'm learning so much in the process that I never would have been able to with MS without spending thousands upon thousands of dollars.
So for me, the major issues have been prvicay, security, and ultimately, financial.
That, and the fact that I'm a geek wannabe at heart
Well my reasoning is a bit more simplistic.
I have many qualms with MS, the main one being the fact that they can't produce a OS that is stable. When I first started programming, I was on Windows 3.1. This was stable, I'll give you that, well not entirely, but stable enough. But I was always crashing it with my programs. This was unacceptable, then 95 came out, we all know how that went. Then 98, well by 95 I had given Redhat a try. I liked it, but it had a few hardware issues that I wasn't willing to resolve at the time because yes, I was a microsoft fan. Soo I was still young and naieve..
Well stuff just kept getting more and more stable, and I started looking into OS development. I was pointed in the direction of Linux, I knew of it because I had used it once before, this time I was determined to give it a true shot. Soo I did it, I downloaded and installed it, this time Mandrake. I loved it, my hardware detected, and nothing ever crashed. I wrote a small program, where it created a thread after a thread after a thread, all processing algorithms. It never crashed, I had 560 threads going at once and it never crashed, let me tell you something if you don't know about programming, that is a shitload of work. Windows would have crashed in the 100 or so range.
Anyways, from there I was stuck. I got even more deeply into it in college, when I realized the networking power of Linux. It was awesome.
Also raw power and effeciency(sp?). I didn't necessarily have the fastest computer(but was close.. ) but I was always our quake server because Linux handled it so well, nobody ever skipped, it was great.
Anyways, there are a lot more reasons, mainly for development.
If you give a man a fire he'll be warm, if you light the man on fire he'll be warm for life.

As explained earlier this week, relief pitchers Michael Bowden and Scott Atchison stand on the threshold of an interesting 2012 season. Both are out of options, which can be seen as a double-edged sword. (Disclaimer: please read this – http://pawtuckettimes.com/content/out-options-whats-next-atchison-bowden – before continuing on.)

As explained earlier this week, relief pitchers Michael Bowden and Scott Atchison stand on the threshold of an interesting 2012 season. Both are out of options, which can be seen as a double-edged sword. (Disclaimer: please read this – http://pawtuckettimes.com/content/out-options-whats-next-atchison-bowden – before continuing on.)
On one end, the days of constant shuffling between the majors and minors have ceased. Over the past two seasons, the Red Sox have enjoyed the luxury of moving Atchison and Bowden liberally and without repercussion, i.e. exposing the pair to waivers upon farming them back to Triple-A Pawtucket.
There's another realm to consider now that Atchison and Bowden are option free. They may start the season under Boston's control, but given their new circumstances, it's quite possible to see one or perhaps even both of them pitching for another organization at some point this season. That, of course, is contingent upon the Sox sending them down, which in turn would open the door for any MLB team to swoop in.
However it may be, the fates of Atchison and Bowden figure to become much clearer if either right-hander can follow in the footsteps and emerge as the next Alfredo Aceves, whose versatility to bounce back and forth between rotation and bullpen arguably made him the most valuable arm the 2011 Red Sox had.
(Note: Tim Wakefield, someone who has long been lauded as the consummate pro, made 23 starts and 10 appearances out of the bullpen last season after making 19 starts and 13 relief outings in 2010.)
It just wasn't that Aceves was a dependable arm and that the native of Mexico logged 114 innings with four of his 55 appearances coming in a starting capacity. The 29-year-old was the definition of effectiveness. Yes, he posted a 5.14 ERA as a starter compared to 2.03 as a reliever, but Aceves also averaged just over five innings per start – the Red Sox went 1-3 in his starts – meaning he more than held up his end of saving the bullpen from further wear and tear by extending himself to the point that he become eligible for the decision, one way or another.
Aceves figures to get a serious look as a starting pitcher during spring training. Depending on what happens, a spot could open up for either Atchison or Bowden as Boston's long-relief option/emergency spot starter.
The 35-year-old Atchison has been thrust into a few tights spots since joining the Red Sox organization. On June 12, 2010, Atchison took the place of a scratched Daisuke Matsuzaka, tossing three innings against the Phillies in a 10-2 Red Sox win that is best remembered for Daniel Nava connecting for a grand slam on his first-ever swing in the big leagues.
Atchison earned savior status once again a few weeks later in San Francisco. After Clay Buchholz was forced to tag out after one inning upon injuring his hamstring while running the bases, Atchison came in and ate up 2 1/3 innings in an eventual 4-2 Boston win. Last season he made a spot start for the PawSox on Opening Day, lasting 4 2/3 innings after that night's scheduled starter, Aceves, was summoned to Boston.
"I haven't started since early in my minor-league career, but in a pinch I feel like I can do it and give the team some innings," Atchison said. "As a reliever, I feel that my versatility is one of my strengths. I can pitch one inning, pitch multiple innings, just whatever is needed at the time. I feel I can fill all those roles just like Alfredo did and he did so very well. Hopefully they see that as something valuable."
Drafted as a starter in 2005, Bowden made the move to the bullpen during the middle of the 2010 season, the belief at the time that a switch to a relief role would better allow him to succeed in the majors. The 2011 campaign saw Bowden record a team-best 16 saves with Pawtucket with all 41 of his appearances coming as a reliever.
To the 25-year-old, he wholeheartedly believes that if given the proper shot, he can emerge as a dependable arm a la Aceves.
"I feel like I can definitely [juggle starting and relieving]. I just have not had that opportunity or been put in a position to do that," Bowden said. "I have a lot of experiences starting games and closing at Triple A and would feel comfortable doing whatever they want if that's what they want me to do."

The Carbon County Commission met March 6 and one of the main issues on the agenda was to establish a governing body for the local economic development agency.
The committee, as formed, will decide the rules the redevelopment office - commonly called the "taxing agency" - must follow and also establish a plan for the organization.
"I am concerned about the name of this committee," pointed out Commissioner Bill Krompel to economic development director Delynn Fielding. "Can this agency set any taxes for the citizens of Carbon County?"
Fielding explained that the committee was there to direct the agency and had no powers to raise money whatsoever.
At that point, the commissioners voted to approve a resolution creating the committee.
The committee will consist of two members of the county school board/administration, one from the Utah education board, two from Carbon commission/administration and one from the Price River Water Improvement District.
Addressing unrelated business matters, the commission:
Approved donating Olympic banners the county has in its possession to the women's shelter fundraiser after the Para Olympics have concluded.
Colleen Quigley told the commission that the organization would then sell the banners to raise money for the shelter.
Reviewed a request from Ray Prettyman to acquire the mineral rights on property he donated to the county years ago as a staging area to set up the construction of a nearby bridge.
Prettyman, who addressed the commission, asked the county to turn the mineral rights on approximately one acre back to him.
But as commissioners discussed the situation, the officials determined that the county could grant the request easily.
"Even though you donated the land to the county and we are not using it anymore, we just can't give you the land or the mineral rights back that simply," indicated Commissioner Mike Milovich.
"Since it is public property, we have to advertise before we can do something like this," added the county official.
The lawmakers agreed to work through the problems and advertise for public input.
Opened bids for a chip spreader for the road department. Bids came from A.G. Body of Salt Lake for $138,917, Bearcat Manufacturing of Arizona for $156,200 and Cate Equipment of Salt Lake, for $177,409.
The officials decided to have road supervisor Ray Hanson review the equipment and bids and make a recommendation to the commission on which to purchase.
Opened bids on a loader for the county. Some vendors placed multiple bids based on used available equipment.
Hertz Rental equipment bid two machines for $89,500 and $82,500. Wheeler Machinery placed a bid for one machine at $106,300. Scott Machinery placed two bids for $88,500 and $53,500. Arnold Machinery placed two bids, one for $103,742 and the other for $89,900. Kamatsu Equipment bid on three machines, one for $99,650, another for $82,250 and another for $70,650. The final bid was for one machine from Rasmussen Equipment for $78,443.
Some bids were for new machines, while others were for used on which the hours varied greatly.
The lawmakers decided to have Hanson review the bids, look at the equipment and return to the commission with a recommendation.
Discussed hiring a general contractor to oversee finishing the community exhibit building at the fairgrounds.
The shell of the building is in place and the inside finish work needs to be done.
The commission received a $19,125.36 bid from ECI, one from Kent Stillson Construction for $26,870 and one from Environmental Industrial Services for $30,060.
"Is this for any construction or only for the supervision of the construction?" asked Milovich.
Krompel explained that the general, under the parameters of the bid, would oversee the construction, but do none of the work.
Milovich was concerned about the cost to county government associated with hiring a contractor to supervise the construction project at the fairgrounds.
County planning director Dave Levanger is in charge of the project, but was not able to attend last week's commission meeting.
The county commissioners subsquently voted to table making a final decision in connection with the matter until the lawmakers could discuss the project with Levanger.
During an interview on Monday, Levanger indicated that the bidding process was set up to provide local contractors with an opportunity to submit proposals on obtaining the contract.
"All we are trying to do is give local vendors a chance to be in on this project," Levanger explained to the Sun Advocate during the interview.
"We have the right to accept or reject any bids. There are a number of routes we can take on this and we will be examining those in the next couple of weeks. We may even put out a request for bids for a general who would finish the whole project," explained the county planning director.
Acting on another unrelated agenda item at last week's public meeting, the county commissioners approved a maintenance agreement with Quest Communications.
Pursuant to the agreement, the company will maintain the 911 equipment at county dispatch center for $738 per month.
