The 2008 College of Eastern Utah Commencement will be held Saturday, May 3 in the Bunnell-Dmitrich Athletic Center at 10:30 a.m. The graduating class numbers at 382.
The graduating class includes 244 students who will be receiving associates degrees, with 54 of those getting an associate of applied science, 26 with an associates of art and six with an associates of pre-engineering. Another 52 will be receiving certificates of completion in areas from automotive technology to welding.
The graduates of this years class come from as far away as Japan, Italy, Brazil, Germany, and Zimbabwe and from the states of Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.
This year there will be tri-valedictorian speakers including the following students.
Nicholas Barry Deeter is a native of Helper. Deeter was the valedictorian for the Carbon High School class of 2006. While at Carbon, he was also named the general sterling scholar, and was a captain for the football and wrestling teams. He also received academic all-state honors for both sports. While at CEU, Deeter has been the ASCEU academic senate vice president for two years, and has maintained a 4.0 grade point average. He plans to transfer to the University of Utah where he will major in exercise and sports science and minor in exercise physiology and pre-medicine. Someday he hopes to be a sports physician and open his own practice.
Wendy Vogel was born and raised in Ogden. In 2006 she graduated from Ogden High School with a 4.0 grade point average. Vogel attended CEU on an academic scholarship and has maintained a 4.0 grade point average. After graduation she will join many family members as CEU Alumni, including her parents, older sister, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. While at CEU Vogel has been a mentor for the Youth and Families with Promise program and participated in many Sun Volunteer Center activities. She has enjoyed working with the CEU preschool and has been accepted into the teacher education program at Weber State University, where she plans to receive dual licensure for childhood and elementary education.
Vanessa Lynn Hunt is a native of Price and a 2006 high honor graduate of Carbon High School. Hunt attended CEU on a two-year presidential scholarship and was an elementary education major, but recently she changed her major to English. She has been involved with the Sun Center as a leader over the Creekview Elementary project. She was also an editor for the CEU student published magazine The Nighthawk Review. While at CEU, Hunt has maintained a 4.0 grade point average. She plans to attend CEU for one more year in order to take more English classes. Then she plans to transfer to a university, possibly Southern Utah University.
Also on the program is the award of a honorary doctorate, which will be given to Ann Morrell Thomas who has been an unfailing supporter of CEU during the past seven years as her husband has served as president of the college. She has been a volunteer in the writing lab, has taught college success classes and has team-taught classes with her husband in sociology, philosophy and criminal justice. In addition, Ann has served as a member of the women's conference planning committee, has organized book sales for the library, has baked countless sheets of brownies and loaves of bread for students who were involved in the Sun Center, theater productions, sports teams, student government, the student newspaper and other campus activities. She has been the tireless companion of her husband as he has traveled to meetings in Blanding, Salt Lake and throughout the state of Utah.
Ann completed her B.S. magna cum laude in English at Brigham Young University shortly after the birth of the fifth of her six children. Before her family relocated in Price, she taught in the writing center at Utah Valley State College. Three of her children and both her son and daughter-in-law are graduates of CEU.
The speaker for this years commencement is well known to the college and community at large. Ryan Thomas has served as president of CEU for the past seven years. In addition to his administrative role, he has taught classes in sociology, philosophy, criminal justice and Spanish.
His recent professional experience includes serving two terms as a commissioner on the regional accreditation agency and the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Prior to coming to CEU, Thomas was vice president for administration, student services and campus computing at Utah Valley State College, where he taught legal aspects in the information age, business law and legal ethics as well as serving as the acting dean of engineering and computer science. Prior to working at UVSC, Ryan was in private law practice and worked as an administrator and instructor at Brigham Young University and Ricks College.
Thomas earned his B.S., J.D. and Ph.D. at Brigham Young University. He is a member of the Utah State Bar and the California State Bar and a member or director on over 20 boards.
The Val J. Halamandaris Caring Award will be awarded to the graduate who has exhibited the spirit of caring and volunteerism at the highest level. The recipient will be named as a part of the graduation ceremony.

Insulated Snowshot Jacket (Men's)
Out of Stock Product Number: 30196
The men's Patagonia Insulated Snowshot Jacket was designed for days that start with surfy turns in the untracked, then move to steep, technical terrain around noon, and end with airs and jibs in the park. This waterproof and insulated jacket has a durable shell to match the energy level of riders who rip the whole mountain. We made updates this season to include an H2No� Performance Standard 2-layer, 100% polyester shell with a waterproof/breathable barrier and a Deluge� DWR (durable water repellent) finish so you can stay out even when the weather closes in. Insulated with lightweight yet ultrawarm Thermogreen� polyester (90% recycled), the Insulated Snowshot stays warm when wet and feels wickedly soft. A smooth taffeta lining wicks moisture and glides smoothly over layers. The rest of the story includes a removable, 2-way-adjustable hood (with a laminated visor) that accommodates a helmet, articulated sleeves with pit zips for venting heat, fleece panels in the neck and at the chin for comfort and a new, low-profile powder skirt (with webbing loops that connect to any Patagonia� snow pants). Handwarmers hold your lunch money; a chest pocket stores your music player; three internal pockets (one zippered) hold the rest.

CARTHAGE The dilemma about what to do with the Carthage-Wilna Fire Districts more than 20-year-old FMC pumper has been solved.
The board of commissioners, on the recommendation of Brian J. Draper, head driver, decided at its June 26 meeting to list the truck with Firetec. The company will receive 10 percent of the sale price. Mr. Draper also was able to sell a surplus pressure washer for $100.
Meanwhile, the bonding process for the fire engine on order from KME, Nesquehoning, Pa., has begun. Treasurer Linda R. Prashaw reported the process should be completed by Aug. 7, with a seven-year bond at a 2.29 percentage rate and a 1 percent attorney fee.
Mr. Draper said the outfitting of the new truck is on schedule, and a trip to Pennsylvania was planned to view the engine before it is painted.
The board approved seven new members to join the Carthage Fire Departments probationary process. The probationary firefighters are Keith Russell Jr., Jason Payor, Joel Sabastian, Gary Young, Shawn Schermerhorn, Lorena DeFrank and Vincent DeFrank.
In his report, Chief Sean P. McHale talked about the problems regarding Firefighter-1 classes. The chief said departments have increased enrollment but cannot get the required training. He said the problem lies at the county and state level, which dictates the number of classes and the student/instructor ratio allocated per county. There is a cap of 20 students per class.

- Are employees less focused on results because they don't feel valued or appreciated?
This is a pre-requisite for all Leadership and Supervisory Skills classes and is also offered virtually.
Target Audience:
Informal leaders and frontline leaders through mid-level managers
Performance Objectives - Helps leaders:
- Achieve results through others by building strong interpersonal relationships.

← Back to Past Exhibitions 2011
Nov 5, 2011–Jan 15, 2012
Ron Terada (Canadian, b. 1969) hails from Vancouver, British Columbia, which has been a hotbed of conceptual art since the 1960s. The Vancouver scene as it exists today was shaped by an international outlook, a reliance on photography, and a savvy relationship to the processes and strategies of mass media, exemplified in the work of artists such as Vikky Alexander, Roy Arden, IAIN BAXTER&, Rodney Graham, Roy Kiyooka, Ken Lum, Steven Shearer, Jeff Wall, Ian Wallace, and many others. Vancouver artists are hyper-aware of their heritage as Canadians. Through trenchant critique and ongoing dialogue, they have created a sophisticated and self-aware community in which to work. Terada has forged an extremely personal path through this rich territory, participating in an ongoing analysis of his hometown and its art mythology while also constantly taking stock of his status within that tradition. What might at first appear to be coolly detached riffs on art-world styles and conventions become, with careful study and across numerous examples, a touching and vulnerable exploration of self—as it is manifested through taste, success, identity, and psychology.
Terada does not wear his heart on his sleeve, and in his choice of media, slogans, and approaches he deflects any easy recognizability, yet slowly and carefully his work reveals a deeply human desire to communicate. This conflict is apparent in the title of the exhibition, Being There. Through these paintings, sculptures, signs, videos, and photographs he tries to impart aspects of himself, and yet nowhere is a straightforward self-portrait on offer. In classic Generation X fashion—to use the term coined by his fellow Vancouverite Douglas Coupland, an artist, theorist, and novelist—Terada's career thus far embodies Coupland's idea that "the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life's cruelest irony." Terada has shown extensively in Canada and been included in many group shows worldwide. This is only his second solo exhibition in the United States.
This exhibition is curated by MCA James W. Alsdorf Chief Curator Michael Darling.

More illegal immigrants pass through Altar, where immigrant smuggling is the primary industry, than any other town. Available services include 'coyotes' or guides, transportation over 60 miles or more of dirt road in vans carrying as many as 25 people, about 150 'hospedajes' or guest houses, provisions, a free mobile clinic catering mostly to people who were hurt trying to cross the border, and groups who warn immigrants on the dangers of the trek and help those in need. From here, most immigrants are guided through Sasabe, where nightly robberies have become an industry and rape is common, then across the US-Mexico border to walk for about 45 miles through the desert before being picked up by smuggler vehicles. It is during the walk that most of the 473 deaths of 2005 occurred, mostly from exposure to extreme heat and fatigue. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)

Useful plastic bags
To the Editor:
I would like to comment on the plastic bag issue, these bags have many uses other than bringing home your groceries: Mothers of newborn babies use them to dispose of their baby diapers and caregivers for the elderly get rid of their Depends; kitchen garbage, such as coffee grounds, egg shells, etc. What about the dog walkers, are they expected to clean up after their pets by using their bare hands and put "IT" in their pockets?

Oh my goodness! This has to go down as the dumbest post ever in the Beacon. The harm they do is astronomical

Best Uses
Comments about Marcy Mini Cardio Cycle:
I was unable to tighten the device so that there was any useful resistance. It slid across the floor when I peddled. The sliding was not a huge deal, since it could be braced, and if it had been the only problem, I would have dealt with it, as the price was low. But without the tension, it is useless.

Delsym is the only thing that works to stop my 5 year old daughter's cough. My daughter has post nasal drip from allergies and she can be fine all day, but when she lays down to go to sleep she starts coughing. The cough can get so bad, it forces her to throw up. Delsym is the only thing that stops the cough and lets her sleep all night. It has a bad taste, but she's gotten used to it, and she can sleep all night without coughing. I highly reccomend it!
It works well and I stop coughing when I sleep.
One of the few over the counter medicines for someone like myself who has asthma & lung problems. Great item to always have in your home.

Before her talk show, SkinnyGirl and "The Real Housewives of New York," Bethenny Frankel was just another person trying to land a job.
Back in 2005, Bethenny competed on the short-lived "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart." She finished as runner-up after Martha Stewart "fired" her during the finale.
Of course, Bethenny would go onto become a reality TV star, million-dollar mogul and host her own show. But she's never really gotten over her firing, and asked Martha point blank why she didn't get hired. See what the domestic diva said in response:
Only Martha Stewart could call Bethenny "not so likeable" and "a pest" without getting a biting response.
The 42-year-old has definitely come a long way since "The Apprentice," and so have her looks. Check out what she looked like back in 2005, and now! Plus see more "Real Housewives" cosmetic surgery before and after photos in the gallery below:
You can catch Martha talk about marriage, one-night stands, and more on "Bethenny" on Monday, September 30.

Just Don't Buy It!
15 Apr 14
Carla Ranicki
It was a present-day Viking invasion that inspired Alexandra Morton to begin her decades-long battle against the perils of farmed salmon. The American-born marine biologist had moved to a remote inlet in British Columbia in the 1980s to continue her research into killer whales. But when the whales started disappearing she switched her research to the Norwegian-owned salmon farms that were proliferating along the coast to be close to the huge US market. "They came into my community and just wiped us out," she said. "Now there are 27 Norwegian feed lots and only eight of us left in the village."
First the Acoustic Harassment Devices (AHDs) used to drive away seals from the farms also drove away the killer whales. Then wild salmon populations crashed, taking away the local fishermen's livelihoods, as well as a keystone species with an essential place in the food chain. Alexandra began campaigning against the AHDs in 1993, eventually leading to their withdrawal in 2001, and began in-depth research into the effects of the salmon farms. They include virulent new viruses and diseases spreading to wild fish, sea lice outbreaks killing young wild salmon, toxic algae blooms caused by the farms' nutrient-rich waste and escaping Atlantic salmon, an exotic species, destabilizing wild native populations.
Farmed salmon also have a much higher fat content than wild fish, and toxins accumulate in this fat, like POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants), which have been related to problems like autism and ADHD in children. Pregnant and breastfeeding women in particular should avoid farmed salmon, says Alexandra, as the toxins will be passed on to their babies, and POPs are a critical threat to the normal development of babies' brains.
Canada has also allowed the production of genetically engineered salmon eggs, which Alexandra says is a huge concern to human health and ecology. With no laws requiring GM products to be labeled in the US, consumers can't know if farmed salmon is genetically modified or not. The lack of traceability has other implications: "Marine Harvest [another Norwegian seafood company] says they're going to clean their feed, but how do we know what company we're eating? If you go to the supermarket it just says farmed salmon, and how do we know how clean the product is-where are the numbers?"
It's at the supermarket that Alexandra buys samples which she then tests for viruses, and says she has found traces of three lethal European viruses which could easily spread to wild salmon. "But the government just won't accept these results. Even though I've published over 20 scientific papers on the impact of salmon farms, they treat me like I'm lying."
Alexandra works independently, funded by donations, which gives her the freedom to speak out. Hundreds of private donors donate an average of $100 each, "and when they stop I'll have to quit."
The battle continues. "It's not going well at all," she says. In January the Canadian government gave the green light to even more salmon farms in British Columbia. The government is also making changes to the laws on using harmful chemicals in the ocean, which will make it easier for the salmon farms to treat sea lice. "Sea lice are crustaceans, so anything that kills them could also kill shrimp, crabs, lobsters..." says Alexandra. "I can't think why Canada would think it's a good idea to have these farms in its fisheries."
She's not entirely sure why the government is so keen to court the foreign-owned businesses. "I guess they feel it makes more money, but there are more jobs in wild fisheries, plus a $1.6 billion tourism industry that depends on people coming to see the animals that feed on wild salmon-bears, eagles, whales." She thinks it could be part of a move to industrialize the whole coastline, opening the way to more oil pipelines, tankers and fracking.
Aquaculture is not the problem, she says, "but you need to do it in a tank, not the ocean. You don't allow wild birds to mingle with farmed chickens." Plus, we should be focusing on farming fish that do not eat ocean protein, like tilapia or catfish. "One of the myths about salmon farms is that they can feed the world," she says. "But to farm a salmon the first thing you do is go fishing." Wild-caught fish is turned into feed for the salmon, and the waste from the farms accumulates on the bottom of the sea floor. "Other types of aquaculture take the waste and use it to grow organic lettuce or other crops. You keep reusing the protein. That's the future, that's following the laws of the planet. We have these beautiful ecosystems where everything goes around and is reused. If we don't follow that model we're going to run ourselves right off this planet."
Her message to consumers is simple: "If you're buying farmed salmon, you're the one who's causing this problem. Just don't buy it. Doctors are even saying it's not good for you, so I don't know how much more we need to know."

High court won't hear case on Walla Walla's purple octopus mural
WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- Walla Walla's octopus mural may not be as formidable come next month.
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Inland Octopus' pleas to take another look at our state's verdict in favor of the city.
Officials have given owner Bob Catsiff 30 days to bring it within code.
Catsiff's attorney told KEPR while all hope looks lost, they're considering filing a second case on grounds of unconstitutional selective enforcement.
Catsiff will decide whether or not to file the complaint in the next 30 days, or right before the mural has to come down.
He's facing fines for every day the mural remains up. As of now, Walla Walla tells us that the total is up to $90,000.

This issue of the Trade Insights series identifies Asia-Pacific LDCs and LLDCs with export-portfolios and economies which are at greatest risk from the recent collapse in global commodity prices. Asia-Pacific LDCs and LLDCs account for less than 2% of global commodity exports and just 7% of Asia-Pacific commodity exports; however many these economies have export-portfolios which are highly concentrated in one or two major commodities: mainly crude oil, natural gas, aluminum, iron ore/steel, cotton and copper.
Migration has economic, social, environmental and political implications in both countries of origin and destination. There is growing recognition that policy interventions which foster a link between migration and decent employment can promote sustainable development. However, across Asia and the Pacific there is a lack of high-quality migration statistics which form the foundation for designing, monitoring and evaluating policies. Without detailed, disaggregated migration statistics it is impossible to determine the costs versus the benefits of migration-related policy interventions.
Water is vital to human lives, as well as fundamental to all development issues. Asia and the Pacific are facing serious challenges both in terms of the quantity and quality of water in sustaining its long term economic growth prospects and achieving sustainable development.
This policy brief, issued as part of the Trade Insights series, examines the evolving economic partnership between Japan and the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and reviews prospects for the future in light of the establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015.
The "Quick Guide for Policy Makers on Pro-Poor Urban Climate Resilience in Asia and the Pacific" focuses on the need to enhance understanding of the region's key urban stakeholders on climate change, discusses how it affects efforts to realize sustainable urban development, and explores what actions can be taken to synergize continued commitments to poverty reduction alongside urban climate resilience.
Myanmar holds considerable promise, for businesses both domestic and foreign, as well as for development practitioners, confident of seeing a rapid transformation in economic conditions and quality of life in general. Nevertheless, while the country has attracted substantial interest from around the world, there are still many gaps in knowledge. In-depth information about the conditions facing the private sector, as well as the perspectives of the various members of the private sector, is still in the process of being uncovered.
This issue based on the Statistical Yearbook 2014 (http://www.unescap.org/resources/statistical-yearbook-asia-and-pacific-2014), released on 9 December 2014. It highlights some of the social issues and policy challenges in Asia and the Pacific, some of the links between these issues, and the role of data in making better decisions in future to ensure no one is left behind.
The first Asia-Pacific Modernization Newsletter produced by the Strategic Advisory Body for the Modernization of Statistical Production and Services in Asia and the Pacific (SAB-AP) and the Modernization Working Group on Production, Methods and Standards (MWG). This newsletter is designed to be an easy way to access information and resources about the regional and global work on modernization, in particular tailored to the needs of Asia and the Pacific. It will also tell you about the work of the SAB-AP and the MWG.
International trade in agricultural and food products is more complex than trade in manufacturing – trade regulations are stricter, paperwork is more cumbersome and logistics are more complex. These elements are mainly required for ensuring food safety for consumers. Detailed information on traded goods alongside the movement of goods in a supply chain is critically important for food safety. Various actors need to exchange information in the complex process of importing and exporting agrifood products.
Asia and the Pacific is forecast to see a moderate increase in growth in 2015. This will be driven by better growth in a range of developing economies, aided by structural reform programmes which are likely to improve the domestic business environment. Several exporting economies will exhibit relatively unchanged growth at moderate levels, with a positive factor being the seemingly sustained recovery in the United States, although slow growth in the eurozone and Japan will remain a challenge.

NEPHI - Hazel Maurine Ingram Bean Jones, 90, died June 26, 2004 at the Castle Country Care Center in Price. She had lived a full life.
She was an only child born Sept. 10, 1913 in Nephi to Mary Bean and Samuel Edward Ingram. She lived in Nephi for 83 years before leaving for health reasons. She married Meryl Eugene Bean June 14, 1937 in Nephi, later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple. He later died in 1951. In 1956, she married Bert T. Jones, who later passed away in 1987.
Hazel was a faithful member of the LDS Church, where she served in many callings. Her greatest love in life was genealogy, handwork, reading and flower gardens. Her best accomplishment was being a good mother.
Hazel is survived by her three children, Sharon Hunt of West Valley, Mary Franks of Salt Lake and Grant (Kathy) Bean of East Carbon; stepchildren Ted (Donna) Jones of Nephi and Marie (Wayne) Bostwick of Nevada; nine grandchildren, nine step grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.

The benefits of developing a complete open source launch system would be similar to the benefits of open source software.
The main benefit of open source is that you have thousands of people developing the hardware and sofware. You get free expertise to develop your hardware/software. In return, they get to use the accumulated knowledge. It's a win-win situation.

I am not sure that is accurate. I don't think anyone can patent a law of physics, or patent the fact that it's possible to control the laws of physics for some purpose (ex: flying in the air)
A good read about the Wright patent business is http://www.centennialofflight.gov/essay/Wright_Bros/Patent_Battles/WR12.htm
What brought the patent battle to an end, was WWI, and the need to share patent info among designers to win the war. That might provide some example of how to mitigate (or at least minimize) patent issues.

The Wright's patents forced others to invent alternate control and power systems.
There was more motivation from the loss of life. The Wright's control system was not too great. I think that it would be better to drive alternate ideas by the necessities of physics as opposed to regulatory hurdles.
I do like the idea of coming up with an open set of specifications. Communications, power, and docking procedures, and atmospheres should be first.

Read: Is Chris Kreider Creative Enough?
Near the end of December, Jim Schoenfeld gave an update on Chris Kreider and his slower than expected start to the season.
Kreider's talent and skill set is very high, Schoenfeld has said that he has the tools to be a star, but some people think that Kreider is lacking in one particular area.
Corey Pronman, at Puck Prospectus, writes that creativity isn't one of Kreider's strong suits but it's good enough to not be considered a weakness.
Grant Sonier said of Kreider at ESPN Insider, "I'm just not sold that he has enough creativity to his game to allow him to score as much as he should with the physical tools that he has."
Sonier added that at worst, Kreider could be a checking line forward in the NHL who uses his size and speed to be an energy player.
In October, on twitter, Leslie Treff said of Kreider "Kreider is so calm w puck. Never panics."
At CBC, Elliotte Friedman spoke with some NHL executives who focus on the AHL and Kreider was one of the players that they said was impressing down there.
Kreider has been impressing many different types of hockey personnel with his skill set since joining the Rangers in the playoffs last spring.

Emma Watson at the premiere of "This Is The End" in Los Angeles.
Photo: Getty Images
Long before "The Karlie," before Rihanna's cut, and even before Miley Cyrus' epic chop, Emma Watson proved her own beauty chameleon steez back in 2008 when she lopped off her Hermione locks in favor of a closed-cropped pixie. Although the actress may have started the process of growing it back—and even sports long hair with fringe in The Bling Ring!—she's still into switching things up, as she proved last night at the premiere of This Is The End. The star, who makes a cameo in the apocolyptic comedy, nailed her premiere look per usual in a Roland Mouret bustier and 3.1 Phillip Lim skinny trousers. But fashion business aside, right now we've GOT to talk about her faux bob. With a deep side part, serious shine, and an effortless curl underneath, Emma's chin-length (temporary) new look just might be the most practical style ever for the summer, and here's why.

In the school of baseball, you consider a "great" draft for a team seeing one advance as an everyday major league player. It is considered "good" for a team when at least two advance to the major leagues. If you produce anything more, people start getting promoted or move clubs quickly.
2005 Draft - While it has not been great at the top with Snyder, it did produce 4 players to the big leagues and two regular pitchers. Garrett Olson is still in the bullpen and David Hernandez could be a 10 year relief pitcher in baseball. Nolan Riemold can still be an everyday player and Snyder can still be a solid bench or role player.
2006 Draft - The Joe Jordan killer with Rowell, but this is not his fault and more of the strategic regiem. I know the scouts wanted to Drew Stubbs in the worse way after losing out on Jay Bruce the year before. The brass wanted a bat, but the scouts wanted Max Scherzer (which would have been better for the loss of the sandwhich pick of Lincecum - still label on him was off on 31 teams). This draft has still produced Jason Berken, Zac Britton with a few others that could one day fill out on a major league roster.
2007 Draft - I had said before this was the best pick on the board. If the Pirates were selecting him, the scouts were going to take Jayson Heyward. I hope he proves baseball prospectus wrong and finally hits the way in the minors and he turns on the future all star role for this team. This draft includes Arrieta already playing significant roles. Bascom, Mahoney, and Angle could fill minor roles for the Orioles. Seeing non-signee Dan Klien was still grabbed for 2010, this could go down as one of the greatest Orioles drafts in history.
2008 Draft - Another no brainer should hoist a Cy Young trophy one day in Brian Matusz. Avery and Hoes are showing alot of potential and should be key everyday players for the Orioles in the next few seasons. There are at least 5 other players that have shown alot at to this point and could see time with the Orioles.
2009 Draft - This is a wait and see draft, but there is a great deal of talent with this class. If it pans out on at least on a few, this could be special as well. I count a half a dozen of pitchers that could be high to mid rotation starters.
2010 Draft - Way too early to tell.
Overall, people that know baseball will clearly tell you that the Orioles have been one of the better teams in this department over the last 5 years. It simply hurts that the other four AL East teams are just as good as the Orioles with finding multiple players per draft, but it beats the 1999 Draft cringe that single handily crimpled the Orioles for almost a decade.

This gives new meaning to April Fools' Day. On the first of next month, Japan cuts its tax rate on corporate profits from 39.5 percent to 36.8 percent. So what, you ask? When that happens, it means that the United States will have the world's highest corporate tax rate. Our combined Federal and State levies of 39.2 percent will be higher than taxes charged in Russia, China, Sweden and Denmark. Oh, and Japan plans to cut those taxes by another 2.3 percent in three years. Hey, aren't we supposed to be the pro-capitalist country?
How many times did you use it? The 244-year-old Encyclopaedia Britannica is abandoning its print edition. Those gold-lettered reference books that were sold by thousands of door-to-door salesmen will be no more. The company pointed out that its Web edition contains more information than its 32-volume print edition. And, besides, it is continuously updated.
A millionaire food stamp recipient. When Amanda Clayton, an unemployed 24-year-old in Lincoln Park, Mich., won $1 million in the State lottery, she promptly went out and bought a house and new car. She also continued to collect $200 a month in food stamps. When a local reporter asked her if she thought that was right, she replied, "I feel that it's okay because, I mean, I have no income and I have bills to pay."
Food stamps buy drugs and guns. Phyllis Fong, the inspector general of the Department of Agriculture, told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that some welfare recipients are selling their food stamps for cash and buying drugs with the money. "By giving a recipient $50 in cash for $100 in benefits, an unscrupulous retailer can make a significant profit; recipients, of course, are then able to spend the cash however they like," she said. "In some cases, recipients have exchanged benefits for drugs, weapons, and other contraband." Your taxes at work, folks.

AUBURN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A park in New Auburn is without thousands of dollars in Christmas decorations after police say vandals destroyed the holiday display in Sullivan Square Monday night.
Auburn Police have charged Joshua Philbrook, 22, of Auburn, and Nicholas Ayer, 23, of Lewiston, with criminal mischief after they say the two men cut electrical cords to Christmas lights, bent the wires for the reindeer and sleighride display, and destroyed nearly every decoration in the park.
"It almost made you want to cry, it just took your heart away," said Auburn City Councilor Leroy Walker, whose ward encompasses the New Auburn neighborhood.
Walker said for the last three years, the New Auburn neighborhood has gathered in Sullivan Park, next to Rolly's Diner, to see Santa and the Christmas display.
Local business owners, such as Rolly's owner Ken Blais, have slowly accumulated the decorations for the display.
"It's not like they stole our stuff to put on their lawn, they destroyed it for just no reason," said Blais.
Police said the vandals destroyed the display on Monday night, the day after the New Auburn Christmas celebration.
It's an act of vandalism that stings espeically hard this time of year, and especially hard in this neighborhood said Auburn Mayor Jonathan LaBonte.
"It's just neighborhood folks just wanting to support each other, and that's the best kind of activity," said LaBonte. "And it's also the most frustrating to see someone try to ruin."
But what alleged vandals tried to destroy, other community members have stepped in to rebuild.
Blais said his phone at the diner has been ringing off the hook to receive monetary donations and Christams decorations so the United New Auburn Association can rebuild the display.
"It just shows you there's still some good out there," said Blais.
He said so far, they have collected about $300 in pledged donations, along with Christmas lights and even some replacement wire reindeer for the lawn.
They are still accepting donations, and ask for phone calls to be made to Ken Blais at Rolly's Diner at 753-0171.

Being the charitable sort of fellow I am, I thought I might take a moment to offer a bit of advice to the forces that have rather loudly arrayed themselves against the glowering evil that is one of the largest purveyors of not-so-fine food in the country. Although I'm no Sigmund Freud (I lack what appeared to have been some pretty serious "mommy" issues and the cocaine habit needed to qualify), I figure it's about time someone says: "Sometimes, a chicken sandwich is just a chicken sandwich." It strikes me that the contest between supporters and detractors of marriage equality has mistaken the feather for the bird.
Recently, Chick-fil-A President and CEO Dan Cathy publicly stated his opposition to marriage equality: "Guilty as charged." Leftist groups immediately objected, even though few of them could have named Cathy the day before. Unfortunately, as is so often the case with liberal outrage, the situation spiraled into meaningless invective fairly quickly, with groups calling for boycotts, sit-ins and even "kiss-ins" in an effort to punish Chick-fil-A employees and diners for working at and/or eating at Chick-fil-A. The real fun arrived when noted nutrition and manners expert Roseanne Barr took to Twitter to declare: "Anyone who eats S*** Fil-A deserves to get the cancer…" I do believe that's an even bigger jump of the proverbial shark than the great "two-Becky" controversy on Barr's not-so-lamented sitcom of decades past.
Not to be outdone by such heavyweights as Barr, Chicago Mayor and former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel (who should probably consider adding some calories to his own diet) proclaimed "Chick-fil-A's values are not Chicago's values." Far be it for me to suggest Emanuel should focus on some of the more pressing issues "Chicago's values" have created in the Windy City. Chicago is a crime-ridden cesspool that has turned to Louis Farrakhan's Islamofascist hate group in a desperate attempt to quell the raging epidemic of violence that is consuming the city. Joining Emanuel in his mayoral tantrum was Boston boss Thomas Menino. Boston suffers from similar crime issues to Chicago, compounded by the presence of an entrenched liberal power structure stretching back beyond Joseph Kennedy's Nazi sympathies. Even the American Civil Liberties Union stepped forward to point out that Mayors do not have the authority to suspend the Bill of Rights in their municipalities, despite their pretensions to the contrary.
I didn't eat Chick-fil-A the week before CEO Dan Cathy made his now infamous remarks about his opposition to gay marriage. As the oddly manufactured controversy regarding his view on the subject developed into a full-blown rhetorical war, I still didn't eat Chick-fil-A. Tomorrow, as vast flocks of folk on both sides of the drive-thru either do or do not deliberately dine on what many of us will admit is a pretty tasty treat, I will probably not eat at Chick-fil-A. In fact, I can't remember the last time I ate Chick-fil-A. I am highly confident that I won't be darkening the door to the coop anytime soon. But I'm not making a political statement; I'm just too lazy to drive to a Chick-fil-A.
My "boycott" of Chick-fil-A, such as it is, is entirely based on geography. I care as much about Cathy's personal politics as I do about the politics of the presidents of McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's — which is to say, not at all. But liberals are up in arms about Cathy's stance. They're welcome to be so, but perhaps their squawking would ring less hollow were it not for their simultaneous support of Obama, Emanuel, Menino and the rest of the vermin who have turned their party into the biggest rat's nest outside Chicago's sewers.
Think of it this way: Emanuel and his liberal friends don't want Chick-fil-A in Chicago, but Louis Farrakhan is welcome to pitch in? I'd rather have the chicken sandwich — with extra pickles, of course.

Dr. Scott P. Wachhorst's Ratings
A wonderful person and a highly competent surgeon with great bedside manners. I had laminectomy one afternoon by him, was up two our after waking up and went home the next morning. The nagging low-back pain was gone immediately, and I have not taken ANY pain medication after the surgery.

Dr Wachhorst is phenomenal. he is very knowledgable, very honest and not pushy. he performed an L4/L5 discectomy and laminectomy to cure terrible, chronic sciatica on my right side. I'm very happy to report, I'm 95% pain free. He changed my life for the better and he and his staff are great to work with.

I am seeking more information on Dr. Wachhorst. He was highly recommended by a nurse who works with him.

He certainly didn't care about my pain level in the post operative phase of my lumbar laminectomy, however since the surgery 15 months now I am pain free & can do anything I want. He promised me 95% success on the surgery & so far that is what I have. 95% of the time I am 95% pain free. Good surgeon, bedside manner terrible. I could have used a change of pain meds in the hospital but didn't have enough wherewithal to ask for it since the Dilaudid had me out of my mind & in great pain. So I paid the price, good outcome on the surgery , but look at what I had to go through to get it.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2110871].votes_count ]]
I was told I needed urgent, multi-level surgery by another neurosurgeon and, in complete understanding, the surgeon suggested I seek a second opinion to be comfortable with the recommendation. That's when I contacted Dr. Wachhorst's office for the second opinion. The office gave me a date 6 wks out! Then they gave me a run around saying they couldn't even consider an earlier date without a direct referral for Dr. W to review, which I provided. Guess what--they called me back with exactly the same date. It's hard to come to any other conclusion than they are not interested in helping patients or other surgeons if there's little in it for them.

Absolutely PHENOMENAL neurosurgeon. . . a master of the art and science of medicine. I am a health care provider myself and would not recommend any other neurosurgeon in the area except Dr. Wacchorst!

He solved my chronic sciatica. The surgery was easy ... truly a life changing operation.

Initial office visit, he gave me a very good handshake and was extremely knowledgable. Ultimately the choice is mine to have surgery or not. He wasn't pushy like some other MD's are. I never in my life had a doctor spend a whole hour with but he did. Explaining to me everything I needed to know. Even though I am an RN and never met him, the initial visit was Primo.

8 Surprising Allergy Facts for the Holidays
Some of our favorite winter things can also trigger reactions. Allergic Living gives the low-down on what to watch out for.
1. Scented Candles
The thought of cinnamon or vanilla wafting through the house may be appealing, but scented candles smell of big trouble for those with allergies or chemical sensitivities.
"People who have environmental allergies such as to pollen or pets develop very sensitive inflamed nasal tissue which is hyper-reactive," explains Ottawa allergist Dr. Antony Ham Pong. "These tissues then react more strongly to scents, and act as if they are allergens and mimic an allergic reaction."
Plus, consider whether soy-allergic guests will be visiting before you light up that soy wax candle. While most are made from hydrogenated oil, which won't cause an inhalant reaction, your soy-allergic guest or her child may feel uncomfortable knowing that a soy product is wafting through the air.
Advice: Use unscented, beeswax candles or opt instead for trendy fairy light strings for table décor or wreaths.
2. Festive Spores
If you have environmental allergies, a pine or cedar dominating the living room can bring you to sneezes and tears (or worse). Allergists warn at this time of year about "Rudolph the Reindeer Syndrome," literally a reaction to the Christmas tree.
"Allergic reactions can occur to any pollen from the pine cones, or to mold in the bark of the tree," Dr. Ham Pong notes. He says the tree's resin can also cause "either eczema from contact with the skin, or nasal symptoms due to the scent."
Mold is the biggest issue – some studies suggest household mold counts can increase as much as 10 times with a cut tree in the home. But an artificial tree can also harbor mold if it was stored in a damp basement.
Advice: Reduce the allergen load of a fresh-cut tree with a good blow-out – either taking it home on the roof of your car or subjecting it to a leaf blower on your front lawn. This gets rid of pollen grains and some mold. If mold is an asthma trigger, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America additionally suggests wiping around the tree's trunk with a solution of 1 part bleach to 20 parts of lukewarm water. Also, wear gloves when moving a tree or boughs to avoid contact with the sap.
Or: Opt instead for a nice faux tree. Just be sure to enclose it plastic post-season, and store it in a dry spot.
3. Up in Smoke
Watch out for a roaring wood fire when visiting. As certified asthma educator Jo-Anne St. Vincent has explained in Allergic Living magazine, that can expose those with asthma or allergies to a variety of environmental triggers, including smoke and mold.
If visiting friends in a home with a trendy enclosed gas fireplace, that's a safer bet. But even then don't linger close by. Vincent says gas-burning fireplaces still emit nitrogen oxide, which can increase inflammation of the airways.
While manufactured fireplace logs used to be infamous for off-gassing toxic chemicals (since industrial waste was part of their composition), today these logs are much more environmentally friendly. There are still two problems though from an allergy/asthma perspective:
a) smoke, no matter how "green" still irritates sensitive airways.
b) Nut allergy concerns. Several brands make "crackling" fire logs, and they use walnut or other nut shells to achieve the sound while burning. It's wise to avoid putting such proteins into the air around a nut-allergic individual.
Advice: Best of all is to ask close family to forgo the fire in the living room, if that's to be the main party room.
