B.A. Architecture
- On Campus
- 36 months
- EUR10 Year (International)
- English (Find a course)
This degree is the first step in a professional career in architecture. Our programme offers students a range of approaches to design through studio-based tutorial groups. Each design group or unit explores diverse aspects of architecture, ranging from rapid technological changes, emerging social conditions and contemporary cultural contexts to more abstract aesthetic and theoretical concerns.
Tutorial groups are supported by studies in the history of architecture, sustainability, practice, cultural context and technology, all of which are integrated with an understanding of the development of a design project. The design projects develop abilities and skills in creating and communicating architectural ideas. You will explore the visual and tactile world, learning visual and drawing skills and the use of computer software.
The context for design work is set at the start of each term; critiques of student work are made at the middle and end of each term. Visits to art galleries, museums and important buildings and lectures by eminent speakers are vital to the programme. You will also attend field courses abroad, usually during the second and final years.
The aims of the programme are:

IMPORTANT NOTE: Per 6 April 2015 only the English language tests from IELTS and Trinity College London are accepted for Tier 4 Visa applications to the United Kingdom. Other tests (including TOEFL, TOEIC, Pearson, City & Guilds) are no longer accepted for Tier 4 visa applications to the United Kingdom. The university might still accept these tests to admit you to the university, but if you require a Tier 4 visa to enter the UK and begin your degree programme, these tests will not be sufficient to obtain your Visa. Since the Trinity College London language tests must be taken in one of their exam centres in the UK, IELTS is now the only language test accepted for Tier 4 visas to the UK that can be taken worldwide.
The IELTS test is most widely accepted by universities and is also accepted for Tier 4 visas to the UK- learn more.
Applicants should have:
320 UCAS points
FROM three or more A-level subjects or equivalent.
• Art and Design is generally a required subject at GCSE and/or GCE level.
• Applicants successfully completing an initial drawing task will be required to submit a portfolio of visual and creative work.
• An IELTS score of 6.0 is required if English is not your first language.
No work experience is required.
Students are exempt from the part 1 exam offered by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
Fortunately enough I was able to find StudyPortals. Right from the start of the application to getting the confirmation of admission I was using StudyPortals.

Columbus, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Robin Lehner made 32 saves to earn his first win of the season as the Ottawa Senators beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-1 at Nationwide Arena.
Erik Karlsson opened and closed the scoring for Ottawa, which snapped a five- game losing streak. Clarke MacArthur and Chris Neil had the other Senators goals.
"As a team and as a group, I thought we played a real solid 60 minutes," said Ottawa coach Paul MacLean.
Curtis McElhinney allowed three goals on 23 shots for the Blue Jackets, who have dropped four games in a row for the second time this season.
Brandon Dubinsky drove the Ottawa net and drew a slashing penalty on Karlsson 1:27 into the third period. RJ Umberger converted on the ensuing power play while on his knees, swatting the puck from the slot behind Lehner at 3:02.
Neil, however, made it 3-1 at 13:55, taking a drop pass from Jason Spezza and firing a wrister past McElhinney. The assist was the 400th of Spezza's career.
Karlsson added an empty-net tally with 18 seconds to play.
"We have to find solutions to win hockey games," said Columbus coach Todd Richards. "There was an opportunity in the third and we let it slip away."
The Senators struck twice late in the first period.
Karlsson was not obstructed as he skated into the Blue Jackets zone and wristed the puck from the right circle high over McElhinney's glove with 5:09 remaining.
On a last-gasp rush, Kyle Turris fired a shot wide of Columbus' net. Bobby Ryan then picked up the loose puck and dished from the behind the cage to MacArthur for a one-timer in the slot with 3.9 seconds left.
The Blue Jackets' best scoring chance in the second period belonged to Marian Gaborik, who fired the puck over the net with Lehner down on his belly.
Karlsson (4g, 5a) and Turris (1g, 6a) both now have five-game point streaks
... The Senators snapped a three-game losing streak at Columbus, notching
their first win since Feb. 6, 2002 ... The Blue Jackets also lost four
straight from Oct. 12-19 ... Columbus forward Jared Boll played in his 400th
career NHL game.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

Our children have attended SDFAS for 6 and 2 years respectively. We are English-speaking parents and both children are bilingual French/English (with expected gaps for vocabulary that would not covered in school). Additionally they are well ahead of their English-only speaking peers in math and science. All the teachers have been wonderful however our eldest's 3rd grade French teacher (F.T.) and English teacher (E.P) are both exceptional teachers that I would highly recommend to any parent. The pre-school staff is very compassionate and committed to nurturing students. Any incidents that have arisen during our six years at SDFAS have been swiftly dealt with by the administration to our mutual satisfaction. Tuition may be pricey but the education that our children are receiving is priceless.

Wolfpack stuns No. 21 Virginia in ACC play
Associated Press
Rivals.com College Football
• Box score
RALEIGH, N.C. — Daniel Evans threw for a career-high 347 yards and three touchdowns, two to Donald Bowens, to lead North Carolina State past No. 21 Virginia 29-24 on Saturday.
Bowens finished with 11 catches for 202 yards for the Wolfpack (3-5, 1-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who snapped a nine-game conference losing streak that dated to the middle of last season. Koyal George added a touchdown on the first catch of his career, while Jamelle Eugene ran for 112 yards.
Jameel Sewell threw for 260 yards and two scores for the Cavaliers (7-2, 4-1) before leaving the game with an apparent right leg injury with about 7 minutes left. Mikell Simpson also scored a pair of touchdowns, but it wasn't enough to allow Virginia to set a school record with its eighth straight win.
The game marked the second straight strong performance from Evans, who had set a career-high last week with 335 yards and three touchdowns in a win at East Carolina. Bowens, a 6-foot-3 sophomore with 15 catches for 252 yards all season, proved to be a tough-to-cover deep threat for the Wolfpack.
Bowens scored on a 40-yard pass from Evans on their first possession, then came up with the go-ahead score by beating a defender to Evans' high 30-yard pass in the back corner of the end zone to make it 29-24 with 7:37 to play.
Bowens also came up with a big catch with the Wolfpack trying to work on the clock with the lead, outjumping Ras-I Dowling for a 28-yard gain on third down with about 2 1/2 minutes left.
Virginia had a final chance, but Willie Young sacked backup quarterback Peter Lalich on fourth down to seal it with 17 seconds left.
The Cavaliers hadn't lost since tallying just 110 yards in a one-sided loss at Wyoming in the season opener. Along the way, Virginia had developed a knack for repeatedly finding a way to win games in the final minutes.
The Cavs beat Middle Tennessee on a field goal with 8 seconds left, then beat Connecticut on a field goal with about 3 minutes to play. Last week, they beat Maryland when Simpson - despite having just six offensive touches all season - ran for the winning score with 16 seconds left to cap a dazzling all-around performance that made him the league's offensive back of the week.
Four of the Cavaliers' seven wins had come by a combined 6 points, with three on the road. And with Boston College's comeback win against Virginia Tech on Thursday, Virginia sat alone atop the ACC's Coastal Division.
But the Cavaliers couldn't keep the fourth-quarter magic going, taking their last lead at 24-23 on Simpson's spinning 5-yard touchdown run with 13:12 to play.

Selmer, Tennessee (WVLT) Knoxville native Mary Winkler will go to jail in connection with the killing of her minister husband.
A judge sentenced Winkler to three years of split confinement in connection with the shotgun slaying of her husband in March of 2006.
Of that, she's been ordered to serve 210 days in jail.
Up to 60 days can be served in a mental health care facility.
The judge ruled she will get credit for time served, and Winkler will begin serving her sentence immediately.
She was taken into custody at the conclusion of the hearing.
The judge denied Winkler's defense attorney's request that she be granted judicial diversion on her conviction of voluntary manslaughter
Attorney Leslie Ballin told the judge during testimony today that, "If (Mary's) not divertable, who is?"
Mary Winkler also made a short statement during today's sentencing.
She addressed her husband's family, saying "I understand you're angry with me," but said she prays for them every night to have peace.
She also said she thinks of her dead husband every day said she will always love and miss him.
She asked the judge to let her go home today and be with her children, but also said whatever sentence she receives will never punish her enough.
Winkler, 33, went on trial for first-degree murder in April, but a jury found her guilty of the lesser crime of manslaughter after she testified she was physically and emotionally abused by her husband, Matthew Winkler.

tele8, I had not seen anthing negative in your post. I just hoped to point out that most all stocks dip after ex-date and I think the last days actions have simply been just because of being after ex-date. I am happy at how the sp has resisted going lower. Well before next ex-date we will see it much higher than today's prices.

The Natural Capital Committee's corporate natural capital accounting workshop
On the 29th April 2015 the NCC held a workshop on its corporate natural accounting work. the workshop proved a great success with a huge range of organisations participating. Read more about it and view the presentations on our CNCA page.
The NCC's third State of Natural Capital report
On the 27th January 2015, the Natural Capital Committee published its third State of Natural Capital report, which recommends that Government, working closely with the private sector and NGOs should develop a comprehensive strategy to protect and improve natural capital.
The report presents a series of potential environmental investments that offer good economic returns such as peatland restoration and woodland planting. It also sets out an innovative framework for corporation to take account of their natural capital. To read the report, click here.
Investing in natural capital
The Committee, working with a Consortium of eftec, Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) ABPmer and Regeneris, has reviewed economic evidence on the costs and benefits of protecting and improving natural capital. To read the reports, click here.
The NCC's new corporate natural capital accounting framework
An integral component of the Committee's third State of Natural Capital report is its innovative corporate natural capital accounting framework. This methodology has been tried and tested with four major landowners over the last year: Lafarge tarmac, National Trust, The Crown Estate and United Utilities. Corporate natural capital accounting allows organisations to report on, and therefore manage better, the natural capital they own, depend on, or are responsible for. We are pleased to publish the full report and accompanying "how to" guidance here.
Dieter Helm at the EAC
On the 21st November Committee Chairman Professor Dieter Helm gave evidence to the Environmental Audit Committee. He outlined the progress the Committee has made to date with its work and discussed a wide variety of topics to do with natural capital. Watch the hearing here
Some people question why we should value natural capital. This paper by one of our members, Ian Bateman, outlines why we think we should.

Picture: Tom Cruise and daughter Suri leaving Chelsea Piers, after spending the day together for the first time since his split from Katie Holmes. During their...
There appears to be conflicting reports as to whether Tom Cruise and his daughter Suri were caught up in a real-life 'Mission Impossible' style car chase as the pair were reunited in New York on Wednesday afternoon (July 28, 2012).
Actually, most of the reports suggest the chase happened - with the New York Daily News claiming that Cruise dodged a host of photographers on the West Side Highway - though his publicist Amanda Lundberg denied the reports. In an email to Newsday, Lundberg bluntly stated "It's false. Never happened". The original report suggested that whilst driving in his Suv, Cruise was chased by a host of paparazzi and journalists making up 10 cars, six bikes and motorcycles. Police say they received zero calls that the Hollywood star caused any "near accidents" as was reported. The Daily News had claimed that the chase "began when Cruise and his daughter left their Tribeca hotel and ended at the heliport where he and Suri were photographed boarding a chopper headed to New Jersey".
It has been widely reported that Cruise took an overnight flight from Los Angeles to New York, to be with his daughter for the first time since Katie Holmes filed for divorce, "blindsiding" him in the process. The former couple agreed on a settlement just 11 days after the papers were filed.

Police: Teen who crashed stolen car, left wallet in itMay 13,2013Police said they tracked a Clarendon teen who allegedly crashed a stolen vehicle after the teen left his wallet in the car.
Riley J. Bedard, 17, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of aggravated operation of a vehicle without the owner's consent, as well as misdemeanor charges of careless or negligent operation and leaving the scene of crash.
The felony charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, while the misdemeanor charges carry a maximum penalty of one year each.
According to an affidavit filed with the court by State Police Trooper Jason P. Johnson, around 2 a.m. April 6, police responded to a report of a vehicle off the road on East Proctor Road. Police found a car that had crashed through a guardrail with sufficient force to trigger the airbag, records state.
Police could locate the driver, but did find a wallet containing a learner's permit belonging to Bedard, police said.
Police later interviewed Bedard, who allegedly told police he had taken his friend's mother's car to go to McDonald's in
Rutland and had crashed on the way home and fled, according to court records.MORE IN This Just In

Anyone tried Unlimited T-Zones with T-Mobile pay-as-you-go?
If I get a year card for T-Mobile prepaid, its only $100... so it nets out to about $8.30/month for 83 minutes of talk time each month, plus unlimited in-car internet.
Now after the first year (or $100 in refills, whatever is soonest) you become a "gold rewards" member and all refill cards, including the lowest card ($10), lasts a whole year.
Plus... T-Mobile says T-Zones is available with pay as you go plans right here: http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase...ic/tm20530.htm
So why not unlimited net?

"The simple answer is they've got to tell the right story. That's a possibility. Being in the Hall of Fame - Ultimate Warrior being inducted into the Hall of Fame, or me standing there at the Hall of Fame participating in it - is not going to mean anything to my goals in my life and the kind of quality of life I'm going to have, what kind of things I'm going to do, how productive I'm going to be as I move on throughout my life," remarked Warrior.
"I only get this one life, so I'm not going to sit in my own pile of poop and feel sorry that I'm not in the Hall of Fame. The Ultimate Warrior character relative to professional wrestling or WWE, he's definitely a Hall of Famer. He's a Hall of Famer whether he gets into the Hall of Fame or not."
Warrior does not watch WWE programming, but says with the internet, "it's impossible not to be aware of some of the top talent." The former WWE Champion, however, reiterates that he will not return to the ring to face a premiere WWE Superstar.
"I'm one of the first guys in recent years that's gone on the record and said to all my colleagues that were in the business at the same time I was that it's time to pack your f**king gear bag and go home. Let the other guys have their chance and get your nose out of their business," remarked Warrior.
"People will say Ryback - 'What would Warrior have been like with Ryback?' Or Goldberg. I know why they say those things - because of the intensity and body look, the aggression, the power. Those kind of matches tend to be f**king stinkers, you know? You want to work with somebody who's got a different style. Wrestling is more than just being big."
"Even when I was on the road and we traveled all over the world, I met so many big, huge guys, great-looking guys, guys that looked like they were carved out of stone. They thought that they could be in the business if they were just given a chance or devoted some time to doing it or learnt the basic moves. It takes much more than that. It takes more than a body or a physique to make it happen."
Warrior says his toughest opponent was former rival "Macho Man" Randy Savage: "The toughest for me was the one that brought the best out of me, out of my character. That's different from 'Who's the toughest guy, who's the most badass opponent I ever faced?'.
"The toughest opponent for me would have been Randy Savage, the Macho Man, because his intensity paralleled mine. He became totally caught up in his character, which was a requisite to success in the business at the time."
Warrior also weighs in on his creative promos and his legacy. The full interview is available here.

Albert Pujols Unlocking Youthful Self
In game one of a doubleheader against the Red Sox on Monday afternoon, Albert Pujols blasted a homer to left for his 547th career home run. But as stunning as that is, it would turn out to be the second game on the day that would have people talking.
Facing Red Sox knuckleballer, Steven Wright, Pujols smacked a hanging knuckler into the left field seats in his first at-bat, tying him with Mike Schmidt on the all-time home run list. Later in the game, Pujols hit yet another dinger, giving him two for the game, three on the day, and moving him into 15th place on the all-time chart.
Pujols hasn't been playing this way for quite some time. Since signing a 10-year, 240 million dollar contract with the Angels in 2012, the Angels have been expecting this kind of production from Pujols — the kind he recorded in his days in St. Louis. But Pujols has been just a shell of his former self; until recently, that is.
Since May 28th, Pujols has been on a tear, hitting 21 of his 29 homers on the season. Becoming the first Angels player since 1995 to homer in both games of a doubleheader, it would appear that Pujols is back in full force. But it's not just Pujols who is putting on a show. Mike Trout also smacked a homer of his own on Monday, giving him 28 on the year in what has become a back and forth home run battle between him and Pujols.
Currently, Pujols is on pace to smack 51 home runs — that would be a career high — with Mike Trout on pace for 49. If that happens, they would become just the sixth pair of teammates to finish with 45+ home runs. If they can both reach 50, they would match a mark set by only one other pair of teammates in baseball history: Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris in 1961.
But while on pace numbers are never a number to be set in stone, Trout and Pujols are well on their way to becoming the first teammates to finish in the top two spots for home runs on the season since Manny Ramirez (43 homers) and David Ortiz (41) did so back in 2004. That would still be an amazing feat.
With the Angels playing great baseball, thanks in large part to the hot bat of Albert Pujols, many people are foreseeing them making an even deeper run into the playoffs than the one they were swept out of in 2014. However, with Pujols just seven homers away from passing Manny Ramirez on the home run list, and just 15 away from jumping over Reggie Jackson, a lot of eyes will also be focused solely on Pujols.
Having stated that he plans to fully play out his contract, which runs through 2021, Pujols has a chance at making things really interesting down the road. 600 home runs is a lock for sure, but 700 isn't out of the question. Assuming Pujols is sitting around 565-570 homers at the end of the season, with six full seasons left to go on his contract, that comes out to right around 22 home runs per season. Very doable, if you ask me.
It all just depends on how long Albert Pujols can keep the fountain of youth flowing.
2015 MLB Standings Prediction Update
Friday kicked off the first day of games around Major League Baseball following the All-Star break, and so begins the endless predictions of which teams will make it into October.
Back in March, I made predictions of my own as to where each team would wind up finishing the year. And while there are still a lot of games left in which anything can happen, the standings are taking shape more and more as each day goes by.
With that in mind, I thought I'd take the time to briefly go over the predictions I made four months ago and see how well they were panning out.
Beginning in the American League, I was banking on the Red Sox winning the division, with the Yankees finishing a mid-pack third. Instead, the Yankees are having a great season and the Red Sox are in the cellar. Drastically different than I would've ever imagined. In the Central, the Twins of all teams are holding a second place slot in front of the Tigers, which is truly remarkable. With the team they have, I never could've predicted anything like that from them, but they are amazing a lot of people. Finally, in the AL West, the Mariners are disappointing to say the least, with the Astros stunning people with how well they are performing. There's still time left for the tables to turn, but things are certainly interesting to this point.
As far as the National League is concerned, things aren't quite as crazy there.
In the East, the standings aren't too far off from what I originally guessed, with the Nationals leading the way, but the rest of the division is a bit shaken up from what I predicted. The Central is actually very close at the moment to what I projected, with just the Cubs and Pirates having their slot swapped. The last division, the National League West, is more of the same, with most of the teams right where I placed them, with the exception of the Diamondbacks and Padres, who are flipped for one another in the standings.
But as I said, there is plenty of time left. Anything can happen.
2015 Award Frontrunners at the All-Star Break
Sunday marked the last day of MLB games until after the All-Star break, and although the baseball world is looking forward to seeing baseball's best sluggers put on a show in the home run derby, I wanted to quickly focus my attention on the players who have posted amazing performances throughout the first half of the season.
For this post, I'm covering the players who I feel stand the best chance right now (given, it's still early) of winning the three major awards of Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year and Cy Young. All three awards have multiple players who can be argued as being deserving, but I have my own opinion as to who deserves each award the most at this point in the season.
Most Valuable Player Award
After a couple of seasons of getting beaten out for the award by Miguel Cabrera, Trout is finally breaking out into an every season Most Valuable Player. Already having blasted 26 home runs, and well on his way to another 100+ run year, Trout could be picking up another MVP at the season's end.
National League: Paul Goldschmidt
I nearly went with Bryce Harper for this category, and when all is said and done, he very well may win it. But there is no ignoring what Paul Goldschmidt is doing for the Diamondback's. With a .340 batting average, 21 homers and 70 RBI's, Goldschmidt is having an MVP caliber season.
Rookie of the Year Award
American League: Lance McCullers Jr.
Picking Lance McCullers Jr. was by no means an easy choice, as there are a few other pitchers and position players that have stats that stand out, but I decided that he was currently the leader. With a 2.52 ERA over 11 games started, McCullers is really impressing a lot of people around the baseball world.
National League: Joc Pederson
It is somewhat difficult to pick between Joc Pederson and Kris Bryant for who deserves the award, but I ended up going with Pederson. Despite batting in the lower .200's, Pederson's 20 home runs so far is extremely impressive for a rookie. In my mind, that's enough to earn him the award.
Cy Young Award
Although there is a good amount of competition at the break for the American League Cy Young award, Sonny Gray leads the charge. With a 2.04 ERA over 18 games started, and an opponent batting average below .200, Gray is in a good spot if he can keep pitching the way he has.
National League: Zack Greinke
Once again, there's a Dodgers pitcher out in front of the candidates for Cy Young award, but this time it's not Clayton Kershaw. Instead, Kershaw's teammate, Zack Greinke, is the one dominating the league. With an incredible ERA of 1.39 after 123.1 innings pitched, Greinke would have to fall apart to not win the award.
Whether or not you agree or disagree with my picks for who deserves each award at this point in the season, one thing is for sure: there is still a lot of season left where any player can have anything happen. With 15 of the 30 teams at .500 or better, in terms of wins-losses go, regardless of the award races, the games following the mid-summer classic are sure to make for an exciting second half.
Latest MLB Leaders (April 5th – June 30th)
With the first three months of the 2015 MLB season in the books, I thought I'd take the first day of the new month to recap the season thus far. It's been exciting as well as disappointing, depending on how you look at it and who you're rooting for.
But instead of talking about the events that have taken place so far this year, I decided to make a list of different categories and beside them name the player(s) that leads that particular category. I've done lists like these for the past several years, and they have been well received, so I decided to do it again.

The only time in baseball history that a pitcher has ever thrown back-to-back no-hitters was in 1938, when Johnny Vander Meer did so for the Reds.
But with Max Scherzer coming off of a no-hitter in his last start, in which he was one plunked batter in the ninth away from a perfect game, many people began to wonder if Scherzer could become the second pitcher to accomplish the amazing feat.
Going up against a subpar Phillies roster, Scherzer appeared to have everything going in his favor, having allowed a mere one hit — a bloop single back on June 14th that kept him from a no-hitter then — over his last 18 innings pitched.
As predicted, Scherzer was dominant to start the game, carrying a perfect game through five full innings for the third straight start, helping to extend his hitless innings streak to an amazing 16 innings.
But it wasn't meant to be, as Freddy Galvis of the Phillies rocketed a double down the line in the sixth innings to stop Scherzer's bid at history. Even so, Scherzer didn't let the hit shake him that much, as although he would allow four more hits in the game, as well as two runs — ending the National's starters streak of 48 innings without an earned run — he still picked up his third straight start with a win, giving him 100 career victories altogether.
Not a bad night at all.
With his terrific string of starts as of late — six hits and two runs over his last 26 innings pitched — Max Scherzer now sits with a 9-5 record and a 1.79 ERA on the year. If he can keep pitching the way he has been lately, the Cy Young award is nearly a lock.
Blogging Schedule for the Month of July
Throughout the history of this blog, July has been one of my busiest writing months.
With the All-Star break and all the surrounding activities to blog about, as well as the other various news stories, the coming month will likely once again be one filled with entries. As always, I wanted to give a brief overview of what to expect.
Like I have for the past few years, on July 1st I'm going to post a blog entry on the latest leaders in various categories around Major League Baseball. Then, following a blogging break of around 12 days due to a mission trip I'm going on to Montana, during which I won't be blogging at all, I'll be back at blogging full force.
Following my return, my first post will be either on my thoughts on who made the All-Star teams or which players were selected to participate in the home run derby. It all depends on when both are announced. I'll then publish an entry on the players I feel are the frontrunners for each major award at the All-Star break.
So, all in all, it should be a busy, but fun, month of blogging.
Alex Rodriguez Homers for 3,000th Career Hit
When Derek Jeter homered for his 3,000th career hit, the moment was magical. When Alex Rodriguez did the same on Friday night, the moment was controversial. The fans cheered, they acknowledged the historic moment, but there was a lingering feeling that things just weren't the same.
Although Rodriguez has played in 63 games since returning from a season long performance enhancing drug suspension in 2014, the air around A-Rod is still rather bad. The majority of baseball fans have vowed to never get over his PED use and don't see the milestone as much to celebrate. While I agree to an extent, A-Rod's 3,000th hit is still something to stop and think about for a moment.
After all, only 28 other players in the history of Major League Baseball have ever recorded 3,000 or more hits in their careers — 28 out of over 18,000 players. In addition, Mike Schmidt and Derek Jeter are the only other players to record their 3,000th hits on a home run. So the hit by A-Rod shouldn't be completely overlooked.
But at the same time, the moment won't ever be seen in the same light as it should have been if A-Rod had remained clean. Rodriguez is creeping up towards 700 home runs, and is one of only five players to record 3,000+ hits and 500+ homers, joining Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Eddie Murray and Rafael Palmeiro. He's one of the all-time greats. Rodriguez should be getting celebrations around baseball, but instead he's getting booed by many of the fans everywhere he goes.
And rightfully so. I don't agree that a player who recorded 3,000 hits clean and one who used PED's throughout their career should be looked at in the same light, even if it is a remarkably rare achievement. But, thankfully, it shouldn't be too long before we get the chance to wholeheartedly celebrate a player reaching 3,000 career hits: Ichiro Suzuki, who is just 114 hits away.
Who I'd Like to See In the 2015 Home Run Derby
Although we don't yet know who the captain for the American League and National League home run derby team is going to be, I wanted to go ahead and give my take for which players I'd like to see in the home run derby up in Cincinnati on July 13th. Assuming the rules change from 2014 that saw an additional player being added to each league's derby team stays the same, I selected the five players from each league that I wanted to see in the derby.
While there are some players that I left off, for one reason or another, I feel the players I selected would make for a great 2015 home run derby, as they all have to ability to hit a good amount of home runs as well as doing so for big power. With the 2015 home run derby just over three weeks away, here are the players I'd most enjoy seeing take part:
American League
Nelson Cruz: Of all the players from the American League to choose from, this was the easiest of them all. Nelson Cruz led all of baseball in home runs back in 2014, and is well on his way to finishing near the top again. Although Cruz can hit tape measure shots, I think he would do well in the derby due to his ability to hit numerous home runs as well. He would put on a show.
Josh Donaldson: Donaldson isn't that widely known as a slugger, but he has been a breakout player over the past few seasons, and is having a great year with the Blue Jays this season. Donaldson can really launch the ball a long way, and I think that he would stand a shot at winning if he can find a groove and stick with it. Having him in the derby would definitely be fun.
Mark Teixeira: This isn't the most obvious of picks, as Teixeira has been up and down over the past few years, but he is having a good season this year, and he should be in the home run derby. Somewhat surprisingly sitting in the top five of the American League in homers, Teixeira would be a general sleeper pick for the derby, but if he could get things going, he would last awhile, I believe.
Mike Trout: There truly isn't anything in baseball that Mike Trout isn't good at, and that includes hitting home runs. Trout is currently one of the most well known and liked players in baseball, and having him take part in the derby would get more people to watch. And I feel that they would be treated to a show, as Trout would likely hit several long homers on his pursuit of the title.
Edwin Encarnacion: Josh Donaldson's teammate, Edwin Encarnacion, can hit a ball just as far, if not farther, than nearly every other player in the big leagues. It's that ability to launch balls a great distance that I think would make him great for the derby. He would be able to put on a show, hitting balls deep into the stands, and would stand a good chance at making it deep into the derby.
National League
Paul Goldschmidt: Goldschmidt is well on his way to having a great season yet again, and that includes posting a large number in the home run category. Goldschmidt has the ability to hit numerous home runs in addition to hitting them a great distance, and that makes him perfect for the home run derby. He would represent the National League extremely well in the competition.
Todd Frazier: Frazier would be on my list of derby participant regardless of the fact that his team is hosting the All-Star festivities, as he has great stats that warrant the selection. However, it is an added bonus that Frazier is a Red, and that would inevitably make him a fan favorite among the crowd. Frazier might not win, but he will give the fans an extra something to cheer for.
Giancarlo Stanton: Stanton was the favorite to win the 2014 derby by nearly everyone, but he disappointed to say the least. But although he didn't win, Stanton hit balls further than nearly all of his competition and was still able to put on a show. With him having another great year, I think Stanton would do better in the derby and deserves another shot at winning the whole thing.
Joc Pederson: The fact that Pederson is merely a rookie and is launching home runs as if he's been in the majors for a decade is remarkable. And that's why he deserves to be in the derby. Pederson would likely hit balls farther than anyone with the exception of Stanton, and he would be able to put on a great show. Therefore, having Pederson in the derby is something I'd really like to see happen.
Bryce Harper: Harper surprised some people in the 2013 derby with how well he did, and with him having such a good season this time around, I think he should be in the derby once again. Harper isn't liked by some around the baseball world, but his talent can't be denied. If Harper can find a pace he's comfortable with, I think he stands a really good shot at the derby crown.
So, those are my picks for who I'd like to see in the 2015 home run derby up at Great American Ballpark on July 13th. Odds are that not all of them will be selected, but I truly hoped the majority of them are in the derby. Do you agree or disagree with my picks? Who would you like to see participate? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
Top Prospects Who Could Make Impacts Right Now
Over the past several seasons, teams around Major League Baseball have been looking more and more towards their top prospects to make it to the big leagues and make an immediate impact on their club. The most recent examples of that being Kris Bryant, Joey Gallo and Carlos Correa, who all made it to the bigs within three years of getting drafted and are all now beginning to make a difference with their team. With that in mind, there are several players ranked in the top 100 prospects right now who could be making impacts but haven't been called up for one reason or another.
Francisco Lindor is the first player on my list, as although he hasn't been dominating offensively in the minors, he has been heating up as of late. His defense is already big league ready, but it's his bat that has been developing in the minors. But now that he is batting in the upper .200's, I feel he is ready. He may not get the call for a few more weeks, but I expect to see him up before the All-Star break, as the last place Indians could use his presence at shortstop.
Henry Owens is another prospect who would really help out his big league team. Currently with an ERA just over 3.50, Owens is the type of player who could spark the Red Sox' struggling rotation. After making several offseason moves, it appeared that the Sox would be bound for another great season, but things aren't panning out that way, thanks in large to their underperforming rotation. Owens could play a big role in helping that.
Despite having just three games started above Double-A, Luis Severino is a pitcher who could help the Yankees out a lot. Admittedly, they are doing just fine without him, as they are currently in first place, but they could always use another good arm in their rotation to help get them into October. In reality, it is more realistic to wait until closer to the end of the season to move up Severino, but he would definitely be an impact even now.
The second Red Sox pitching prospect on my list, Brian Johnson could also bolster the Red Sox rotation along with Henry Owens. While there is the issue of where to place them with the rotation the Sox already have, the Sox' rotation is horrible at the moment. Of their four starters with 12 starts, the lowest ERA is 4.07, with the other three with an ERA above 5.00. That isn't getting the job done, and I feel that the addition of Johnson would help them out.
Some honorable mentions that didn't make my list include Byron Buxton, Corey Seager, Jose Peraza and Steven Matz. All of them are having great seasons down in the minors, but I feel they each need a little more time before they get called up to the big leagues and begin to help their teams. In the end, however, they will all likely have impacts at the major league level for many years to come.
2015 MLB Draft: Dansby Swanson Taken Number One
Brendan Rodgers, Dansby Swanson and Carson Fulmer were ranked as the number one, two and three draft prospects going into Monday's 2015 first-year player draft, but they went in a completely different order than predicted. While Swanson and Rodgers were in fact taken in the top three picks, Fulmer didn't go until the eighth pick, with Alex Bregman moving up a few spots to the top three.
Dansby Swanson went first overall, getting drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Although he wasn't the top choice heading into the draft, there's no real surprise why the Diamondbacks took Dansby Swanson number one overall. This past season at Vanderbilt, Swanson hit .348 with 14 home runs and 61 RBI's, helping to lead his team back to the College World Series for the second straight season. With the D-backs not very deep at the shortstop position at the big league level, Swanson should progress quickly if he can stay healthy and post decent numbers.
Alex Bregman went second overall, getting drafted by the Houston Astros.
Despite the fact that the Astros' number one overall pick from 2012, Carlos Correa, made his big league debut at shortstop on Monday night, the Astros decided to pick up fellow shortstop Alex Bregman as the number two overall pick. Bregman hit .312 and recorded 37 stolen bases this past season at LSU, and has drawn comparisons to Dustin Pedroia of the Red Sox. While Bregman has stated a desire to remain at shortstop, he may find himself shifting to second in the future with Correa blocking his way.
Brendan Rodgers went third overall, getting drafted by the Colorado Rockies.
Brendan Rodgers was ranked the number one overall prospect heading into the draft, but he stuck around until the third pick. The selection of Rodgers made history, as it was the first time in the history of the draft that three shortstops were taken as the top three picks. Coined as the best power hitting shortstop since Carlos Correa, Rodgers hit .360 with 8 homers this year at Lake Mary high school. With his ability to hit for power, and with a plus arm at short, Rodgers should have a long career in the majors.
The remainder of the draft saw many surprises. A lot of players went higher than anyone expected, while others stuck around longer than many thought they would. But that usually happens every year with the draft.
The rest of the 1st round of the 2015 draft, following the first three picks, went as follows:
4. Rangers: Dillon Tate
5. Astros: Kyle Tucker
6. Twins: Tyler Jay
7. Red Sox: Andrew Benintendi
8. White Sox: Carson Fulmer
9. Cubs: Ian Happ
10. Phillies: Cornelius Randolph
11. Reds: Tyler Stephenson
12. Marlins: Josh Naylor
13. Rays: Garrett Whitley
14. Braves: Kolby Allard
15. Brewers: Trent Clark
16. Yankees: James Kaprielian
17. Indians: Brady Aiken
18. Giants: Phil Bickford
19. Pirates: Kevin Newman
20. Athletics: Richie Martin
21. Royals: Ashe Russell
22. Tigers: Beau Burrows
23. Cardinals: Nick Plummer
24. Dodgers: Walker Buehler
25. Orioles: D.J. Stewart
26. Angels: Taylor Ward
27. Rockies: Mike Nikorak
28. Braves: Michael Soroka
29. Blue Jays: Jon Harris
30. Yankees: Kyle Holder
31. Giants: Chris Shaw
32. Pirates: Ke'Bryan Hayes
33. Royals: Nolan Watson
34. Tigers: Christin Stewart
35. Dodgers: Kyle Funkhouser
36. Orioles: Ryan Mountcastle
Lottery Round A
37. Astros: Daz Cameron
38. Rockies: Tyler Nevin
39. Cardinals: Jake Woodford
40. Brewers: Nathan Kirby
41. Braves: Austin Riley
42. Indians: Triston McKenzie
Make sure to follow the list of players above as the majority of them begin their professional careers. Odds are at least a few of those names will become MLB All-Stars, with the possibility that some may become a future Hall of Famer. You never know what can happen when you have so much young talent entering their given MLB organizations, and that's reason enough to pay close attention to them all.

Although that would be great if they struck oil today it can change pretty fast, if they take to long to drill the well and get results people will start selling off and that would suit me fine since I'm still buying.

How has being a mother changed your relationship with your mom?
Comments (9)
My mom was never the nurturing and mushy type either. She's always been a stubborn and proud (prideful) person. She's always been manipulative, vindictive, and cruel. I thought having her first grandchild would bring us closer and chip away the ice around her heart.
I planned a vacation to visit her last summer and announce my pregnancy. She was upset with my younger sister and told me I needed to choose between my sister or her. I told her I wouldn't be choosing between anyone because I wanted to spend time with the entire family, not fighting and picking sides. She cut me off. I had to leave a note on her door saying I was 7 weeks pregnant because she refused to even look at me or speak to me.
She hasn't spoken to me. She hasn't acknowledged my son. I'm so incredibly heartbroken and just disgusted by her actions. I tried emailing her just recently asking if we could just stop with the fighting and bring the family together once again for my son before he grew up never knowing her. I included pictures of him.
I never got a response. This is the short version of the story.

Mindy + DF = Eliana Mia<3 & Furbaby, Theodore Tupac.
Ah, families. Every parent is different. Every parent-child relationship is different. I just hope to be a better parent to my baby than either of my parents were to me.
Mindy + DF = Eliana Mia<3 & Furbaby, Theodore Tupac.
I know. I shouldn't allow her to choose when she will or won't be a part of our lives. She tries to use her silent treatments as a way to control us and it's always worked. I'm so fed up with it. She doesn't get to decide she can just be in and out of my son's life whenever someone disagrees with her.
(True story: I made a negative comment about Lady Gaga once and my mom threatened not to come to my wedding because of it, lol)
The good thing that came from this situation is I finally got the balls to contact my biological father. My mom forbade (forbidded, forbidden, lol) me to ever have any contact with him because she hated him. She made up all kinds of crazy lies to get me to fear him. I contacted him when she decided she wanted nothing to do with me and now I have a relationship with him, my stepmom (who is coming to visit in two weeks!!) and my half sister and my one year old niece! I have a whole other family that I never got to know and it feels so good.

hasnt really changed much, She gets to see lo more often than her other grandkids cuz i live down the street and they live an hour away, but I don't think anything has changed. She's still the same helpful loving person. :) It's sad my dad doesnt get to do much with him though, he has emphasyma and cant hold lo for more than a min without getting tired. :( Poor daddy

Essential Listening: A guide to 14 addictive guitar tones that'll have you wailing out for more.
"Soul Man," Sam & Dave (Steve Cropper)
"Play it, Steve!"
That's what you hear just before the solo on 1967s Stax Records mega-hit by Sam & Dave. And play it guitarist Steve Cropper does.
Perhaps one of the greatest ironies of the late-Sixties R&B/soul boom is that the band that delivered the grooves on the most enduring of those records included some of the most lily white guys you might stumble on. But boy did Cropper and his bandmates in Booker T. & the MGs (not to mention the Mar-Keys Horns) have soul!
Cropper delivered the goods on countless hits from the era. He co-wrote and played on Eddie Floyd's "Knock On Wood," Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of The Bay," Wilson Pickett's "In The Midnight Hour" and countless others. His tone and licks always hold his signature, but nowhere is his tone and style better encapsulated, and featured, than on "Soul Man."

I've been paying a lot of attention to tone over the years, and Enter Sandman does come up as one of my favorites. What I find funny is that both the Metallica boys are among my favorites for tone, and worst for tone...St. Anger containing some of the worst to my ears :P
I'm surprised to see EVH left off, since he's been a holy grail of Guitar Tone for decades. My personal favorite would be David Gilmour's growl tone on the opening of Sorrow.
Good read. :)

High Commissioner for Human Rights: The 'Moral Voice of Humanity.' (UN Appoints Jose Ayala Lasso) (Interview)
Less than two months after its historic decision to create a High Commissioner for Human Rights, the General Assembly on 14 February unanimously approved the appointment of Jose Ayala Lasso to the new post.
A former Foreign Minister of Ecuador, he was his country's Permanent Representative to the UN just prior to his appointment.
Mr. Ayala Lasso shared his views on the new job with the UN Chronicle just before leaving for Geneva, where he will be based.
We know that your job is to "promote and protect the effective enjoyment by all of all civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights". Tell us how this important mandate will translate into day-to-day responsibilities.
That is a very important question, because you are addressing the most difficult task-defining what I should be able to do. The resolution is vague, giving the High Commisssioner the widest possible capability in the field of human rights. What we have created is a new instrument, a new voice to coordinate and update already existing UN systems and develop new action to achieve effective progress in promoting human rights. So my work will be very broad. At the same time, the mandate of the High Commissioner is limited within the framework of the Charter, the instruments of human rights, the political authority of the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, the Commission on Human Rights, and the Secretary-General, whose vision I will be following.
How do you plan to streamline and better organize UN activities in human rights?
The Secretary-General considers coordination one of the most important tasks of the High Commissioner. This is necessary for avoiding duplication. We need to establish procedures that will be conducive to our aims and develop better reaction capabilities, for instance, in the provision of technical assistance and advisory services through the Centre for Human Rights. All of these tasks will be part of the plan of work as soon as I assume office.
Personally, I think that one of my most important aims will be to strengthen the moral and political authority of the High Commissioner. I have frequently referred to the fact that the post was created through consensus in the General Assembly. This unanimity of world voices gives the High Commissioner a very strong moral and political authority. I plan to develop this authority in such a way as to allow the High Commissioner to become more and more influential, more and more respected, more and more accepted as an impartial, objective person who simply wants to promote what everybody wants--human rights.
How do you plan to work with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to promote human rights? How do you hope to expand their role? NGOs have historically accomplished a very important task in the area of human rights, and I pay tribute to the work they have done. Their work and the High Commissioner's work are complementary. I plan to establish a sort of organic link between the NGOs and the High Commissioner, because we are fighting for the same cause. At the same time, I will be entirely at the disposal of the NGOs to help them, if they consider it necessary or useful.
Throughout the world, we have been witnessing an alarming increase in religious, cultural and ethnic intolerance. Hoping to curb such attitudes, the General Assembly declared a Decade to promote tolerance. Why do you think that intolerance has been increasing, and how do you hope to play a role in promoting a more understanding, tolerant world society?
You have mentioned one of the most important causes of human rights violations--intolerance. We need to bring up our children in a culture of tolerance. …
