This novel snuck under the wire to get
into my top three young adult novels
for 2012. I read it in one breathless night, and the next morning, when I
an airplane flying overhead, I burst into tears. Which, I admit,
probably seems like a crazy response, and fairly so. But like all the
best, most special books, Ask The Passengers doesn't just satisfy the
mind while it's being read-- it also colors life long after it has been
put down, making otherwise banal things, like the sight of airplanes
overhead, illuminated.
King uses complicated ideas,
recurring imagery and deceptively simple language to craft a story of
incredible honesty and pathos. Those who were unlucky to be around me
in the days after I read it were
subjected to my many gushings-and even with the amount of hyperbolic
I put forth in those days, I'm not sure I did this novel justice.
Wise. Vibrant. For those who love any of the following authors: David
Levithan, Nina LaCour, Sarah Dessen or John Green should certainly take a
look. I cannot wait to pick up more of A. S. King's work. Because if
it's even a FRACTION as good... I may have a new favorite author. For ages 15+
"This touching, challenging story about a small-town girl struggling to be honest with herself while she has to keep secrets from everyone around her is as finely wrought as any of King's previous award-winning novels."
— Todd A. Dickinson, Aaron's Books, Lititz, PA
She was a finalist for the Washington Square fiction contest and Glimmer Train Very Short Fiction Award in 2007, and her writing has been nominated for the 2008 storySouth Million Writers Award and the Best New American Voices 2010 anthology. A citizen of both Ireland and the U.S., King's short fiction, poetry and nonfiction have been featured in the Sunday Times Magazine (Dublin edition), the Sunday Tribune Magazine, and iVillage, as well as in several literary journals including Quality Women's Fiction, Underground Voices, and Contrary.
She now lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and children. The Dust of 100 Dogs is her debut novel.

Well maintained park with concrete patio, picnic table and fire ring. Pull through site had level gravel and nice grass between sites. Only issue I had was the utilities are in the very back which wasn't a problem for my water and electric but too far for my 15' waste water hose (I didn't have my second one with me) as my drain port is in the middle of my 40' fifth wheel. - alanp41779

Very nice park. Owner have updated the park extensively. Lots of gravel on roads and sites, concrete patio and picnic table. Nice new bathrooms and laundry room. Only one washer and dryer (looks new), $5.00 to wash and dry, but they are a good size. It looks like they are getting ready to put In a new building probably a clubhouse. I would definitely stay here again. - bobowill

This is a very nice campground. Located on the edge of town and walking distance to downtown. Also, a paved bike path runs right next to the park entrance. The interior roads and sites are gravel, but level and in good condition. Lots of space between the sites, lots of grass and many with shade. Very well groomed and in great condition. A new section is now open and this has a new bathroom and shower facility. WiFi signal was strong. Very quiet and safe. We did hear the train that is about 1 mile away, but didn't bother us (in fact i kind of like the sound of a train in the night). We would stay here again. - skate

This is a large, private campground with over 200 sites, many of which are seasonal. The sites are grassy and shaded. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. They aren't very wide so we were close to our neighbors. The restrooms were not maintained. The men room had a paper towel jam all day until we notified the owner. He fixed the paper towels, but still the restroom went without soap for over 24 hours. The floors were muddy and did not get mopped all weekend. There was a campground employee mowing the lawn on Sunday morning for about an hour, which was quite noisy. The owner left the office for a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon, leaving a group of four kids, about age 12, in charge behind the desk. Unfortunately the kids did not know much about running the campground and weren't able to answer any of our questions. - Juniper94

RNC contributor CH2M Hill involved in major bribery scandal
CH2M Hill Companies, a construction and engineering firm at the center of a major bribery case in Cleveland, is among the contributors to the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.
The company contributed $50,000 to the RNC, according to the Minnesota Independent, which asked companies to voluntarily disclose how much they donated.
CH2M was a major player in a scandal that brought down the East Cleveland mayor as well as the close friend of former Cleveland mayor Mike White. Here's a quick summary courtesy of the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
The troubled East Cleveland Water Department figured prominently in the bribery cases of former East Cleveland Mayor Emmanuel Onunwor and businessman Nate Gray, both of whom are in prison.
A 2005 federal indictment accused Gray of bribing Onunwor in connection with a no-bid, $3.9 million contract with Denver-based CH2M Hill, which managed the water and sewer systems in East Cleveland.
According to federal prosecutors, CH2M Hill provided as much as $10,000 a month in consulting fees to Cleveland engineer Ralph Tyler, who carried the money to Gray, who used it for bribes. Attorneys for CH2M Hill and Tyler said at the time that their clients did not know the money was used for bribes.
Unfortunately, the article isn't available online anymore and I took this text from Nexis. However, you can find a lengthier treatment of the story in our sister paper here. This article also notes that the feds were looking at Gray's dealings with CH2M in Houston:
The Houston Press reports that Gray's Etna Parking owns part of the contract to shuttle car-rental customers at Bush Intercontinental Airport. CH2M Hill has also been reaping million-dollar contracts for developing a "strategic plan" for the city's water system and for a major project for the Port of Houston Authority. So it should come as no surprise that the feds are snooping around Texas.
CH2M apparently likes to spread the money around. It also contributed $8,000 to Washington Democrats.

Everyone was so helpful and nice. The breakfast was yummy!!
Clean, decent breakfast, felt safe.
Nothing really special. Had what I expected. Value nor really there for 130 a night but prices are up everywhere I guess.
The room was clean and well kept. We like the sofa bed so that our teenage son can have his own space.
Our room was located by the stairs and the noise started very early in the morning. I also didn't like the highway noise. The breakfast wasn't replenished and I was there early, before 8 am.
Friendly staff and was clean.
Breakfast buffet was not great.
Armand did a great job. And so did the staff.
Great location. We were within 5 miles to several family friendly venues. Kids loved Alamo Drafthouse being right across the interstate from the Hotel. Staff was very friendly and hotel was very clean. The pool was great and you could kayak in the river right at the hotel. We will stay here again. Loved it.
Someone just opened our door at exactly checkout time and told us we needed to check out immediately
I liked it was close to the main highway.
1) Although it was close to the highway, entering the facility or exiting the facility was difficult. The median was in the way of the entrance and you had to go down a ways in either direction to go into or out of the hotel.
2) The lady at the front counter was not very friendly. We arrived early (12:15 pm) for a wedding we were attending at 4:00 pm. We were not allowed to go into the room because it was not 3:00 pm. My wife had to get a local hairdresser to do my wife's hair. When we came back (still early 1:30 pm), we waited in the lobby with all our luggage. Another couple arrived at 2:15 pm and they were allowed to sign in. My wife approached the desk again and asked why they were allowed to sign in and we finally were let in after a gentleman said there was no problem. Our room was prepaid from March 2015. I would not recommend this place to anyone visiting New Braunfels, TX. In the morning, the same receptionist, was cleaning up the breakfast area and taking away food items 15 minutes before the end of breakfast. I did see the manager/owner replacing the scrambled eggs for those who arrived about ten minutes to 10:00 am. some families were still trying to feed their kids and some older couples were just getting a light fare.
Staff was very polite and attentive, room was very clean.
The bar
Everything else
Room was clean, the staff was friendly, breakfast was ok.
The heater in our room sounded like a squirrel on a wheel.
We didnt like anything
We did not like that the staff did not clean our room during our stay. They kept giving us the run around about why they did not clean the room. There was no reason they didnt clean the room. We will never come back to this hotel and would not recommend to anyone else.
Nice rooms and great furniture
Fridge had no temperature control, so it froze our sodas
Receptionist was rude and we were given a room that was already occupied! How does that happen?! The safety ramifications scary...
Location was off I-35
Pool was small and out side
Friendly staff
Breakfast wasn't replenished by staff.
- no yogurt
- no sausage
- few apples
- few bagels
I felt like there was a limit for the day and the softball team wiped it out and she just stood there or worked verrrrry slow.
Comforter was heavy and slick. When you moved it slid off bed.
Location was good,nice and quite even though we were by the stairs,but not bad.
location was good, rooms inside good, breakfast was the minimum but O.K.
the size and hygiene of the pool and some rooms, extra charges for moving from stinky room to a clean one and a fee for checking in before 3PM
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

A group of Cheboygan County residents are worried that a new racetrack development in their community will ruin their peaceful way of life.
T he proposed Griswold Mountain Racetrack would be built with the idea of attracting thousands of people to Indian River for national motor sports races.
"P eople moved up here to enjoy the peace and quiet in the northern woods in the tranquility and it is going to be destroyed if this guy puts the racetrack in here ," Steve Grandstaff, Indian River resident said.
Recently, the proposed racetrack has been the center of discussion in this community.
T his multimillion dollar project is being funded by Mark Hall, who is the founder of Monster Energy Drinks and a native of Indian River.
H e wants this racetrack to serve as a gift to his hometown , by drawing tens of thousands of people to this community for national motor sports races each year.
" The facility is not going to be designed around having races every weekend , it's just about national events and that's it ," Jerry Edgerton, Griswold Mountain Representative said.
O rganizers plan on using the track only four weekends each year.
B ut nearby neighbors say that's one too many.
" We don't think Griswold Mountain is the place for it ," Trish Woollcott, Indian River resident said. "B ut if he is going to build one we are certainly do everything in our power to help in find and find an alternative site that would not impact people who live here as much ."
T hat alternative site is a piece of state land on the other side of town that they want the racetrack owner to consider.
" We are not interested , it's not going to happen , it's not even worth talking about ," Edgerton said.
R acing organizers say the group's proposed alternative site is useless as a racetrack due to the soil quality.
They plan on moving forward with their requests to rezone the Griswold Mountain lot that is currently residential.
A nd while there are a number of people against this racetrack , there are many that are in favor of it . Those in favor hope it will draw thousands of new visitors to this small community.
" What we are kind of thinking is once the people get here and realize how beautiful a place this is they will come back and not only be here for racing but they will come back with their families for vacation ," Dawn Bodnar, Indian River Chamber of Commerce Director said.
T he Indian River Chamber of Commerce says a recent survey revealed that 96% of local businesses want the racetrack to be built.
B oth sides will get a chance to voice their arguments at a Cheboygan County Planning Commission meeting next week.

Control, velocity missing for Young
He walks four in a row in the second on the way to an early exit as Angels get a sweep
Adrian Gonzalez: After struggling against an infield shift and starting out 1-for-14 on the road trip, has three of the Padres' five hits Sunday.
Cliff Floyd: Goes 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and is now 1-for-14 with seven strikeouts this season.
4: Earned runs allowed by Angels starters in the three-game sweep.
4: Consecutive walks allowed by Chris Young in the Angels' second inning.
11: Consecutive interleague losses for the Padres.
31: Edgar Gonzalez's age after his birthday Sunday.
269: Consecutive games Adrian Gonzalez has appeared in dating to Aug. 15, 2007.
ANAHEIM – Radar guns don't lie. Well, not completely.
On most days, Chris Young runs his deceiving fastball up to the plate at between 87 and 90 mph.
Sunday, the Angel Stadium gun was consistently between 84 and 86 for Young's fastball. And when Young battled through a "career low" in the second inning, his velocity dipped a little bit further.
With two out in the second, Young walked four straight Angels, resulting in three of the five runs he allowed in his shortest outing since 2007 when not being struck in the face by an Albert Pujols line drive.
After the Padres' 6-0 loss, a perplexed Young struggled to explain what happened in his second straight un-Young-like start.
"That's something I hadn't done in my career," Young said after walking the four straight Angels on a total of 19 pitches.
"I couldn't find the zone. Every adjustment I made, made it worse and not better. My release point was off.
"Nothing worked for those four hitters."
Not that it mattered if Young walked two straight, or four, or 40.
When Angels leadoff hitter Chone Figgins raced home from second base in the first inning on an opposite-field single by Vladimir Guerrero, the game was ostensibly over.
Jered Weaver, who as a rookie was tutored by then-Angels pitching coach Bud Black, held Black's Padres to five hits while pitching the first shutout of his career.
The Angels' victory before 40,163 at Angel Stadium completed a three-game sweep of the Padres in San Diego's first venture into interleague play this season.
Over the three games, the Angels outscored the Padres 26-7 and out-hit them 39-25 – a .375 batting average with 11 homers to a .248 mark with two homers.
Of course, futility in interleague play is nothing new to the Padres' "Not Ready for American League Players."
Sunday's loss stretched the Padres' interleague losing streak to 11 games dating to last June 21. And over their past 26 interleague games, the Padres are 5-21.
"I don't see any one thing," Black said when asked about his club's trouble in interleague play.
"I think American League teams are built around having a big hitter in the lineup. They recruit that. Most National League teams don't have that, and that hitter certainly favors American League teams in their parks."

But eight of the Padres' 11 straight losses were at Petco Park, where the designated hitter does not come into play – just like it doesn't come into play for the Padres in American League parks.
Last year, Padres DH Tony Clark was 7-for-30 with two RBI in nine games. This past weekend, Cliff Floyd (1-for-8 with four strikeouts) and Edgar Gonzalez (1-for-4) were a combined 2-for-12.
"Interleague play is more suited to American League teams, especially for teams like us built around pitching and defense," said Young, who has more pressing issues.

Entry and exit
As visa and other entry and exit conditions (such as currency, customs and quarantine regulations) can change at short notice, you should contact the nearest Embassy or consulate of Kazakhstan for the most up to date information.
As of 16 July 2015, Australians visiting Kazakhstan for stays of up to 15 days (with arrival day counting as day one notwithstanding the time of arrival) do not require a visa (except for purpose of employment and missionary work). For stays exceeding 15 days, Australians must obtain the appropriate visa for the purpose of their visit, especially if travelling on a long-term business or work trip. Check the validity dates for your visa and associated restrictions before travelling. Penalties for visa infringements or overstaying include fines, imprisonment and deportation. Kazakhstan is strict about its visa policies.
At certain border points, travellers are sometimes provided with a stamped migration entry card. Keep this card in your passport as it may be required when exiting Kazakhstan or when undertaking official business.
All visitors intending to stay for five days or more are required to register with the Kazakhstan Migration Police formerly known as the Office of Visa and Registration (OVIR), within five days of arrival. Visitors should contact their inviting organisation (listed on the visa) or the hotel they are staying at for assistance with registration with the Migration Police. Failure to register with the Migration Police can result in fines and significant delays on departure. For the most up to date information and additional requirements on registration, contact the nearest Embassy or consulate of Kazakhstan.
Children travelling alone or with one parent/guardian will require a letter of consent for travel signed by both parents.
There are strict regulations on the export of antiquities.
Strict border controls apply to road travel between Almaty (Kazakhstan) and Bishkek (Kyrgyz Republic).
To be allowed entry into Kazakhstan, you will be required to present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are arriving from a country in which yellow fever is endemic. You will also require a valid medical certificate of a negative HIV test if you are intending on staying for more than three months.
Some medications available over the counter of by prescription in Australia, such as sleeping tablets or medication containing codeine, may be illegal or restricted in Kazakhstan. You should contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Kazakhstan for advice. You should also carry a copy of the prescription, a letter from your physician and declare all prescription medication and other restricted items on arrival. If not declared, or if the quantity held exceeds legal limits, possession of such items even with a doctor's prescription, could lead to administrative or even criminal charges.
Make sure your passport has at least six months validity from your planned date of return to Australia.
Safety and security
Robbery, pickpocketing, purse snatching and assaults could occur on public transport, in parks, shopping areas, open markets (including the Green Market in Almaty), restaurants and near major tourist hotels and nightclubs, especially in the Almaty region. The risk of crime increases at night.
There have been reports of foreign travellers being drugged and robbed in nightclubs and bars in Almaty.
Avoid walking alone at night and pre-arrange transport if possible.
The expatriate community in Atyrau and Aktau in western Kazakhstan has been the target of violent attacks and muggings.
Carjackings have been reported.
Thieves posing as police officers or unsolicited 'meet-and-greet' drivers at airports have robbed travellers. Official taxi drivers and police officers have identification. Avoid taking unofficial taxis and avoid getting in a taxi that has other passengers in addition to the driver.
Civil unrest/Political tension
Australians planning to travel between Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic should monitor the media and other local sources of information regarding possible new safety or security risks in the border regions. You should also read our travel advice for the Kygyz Republic.
You should avoid all protests and demonstrations as they may turn violent.
Terrorism is a threat throughout the world. See our Terrorist Threat Worldwide bulletin.
Money and valuables
The Kazakhstan economy is cash-based, though travellers cheques and credit cards are accepted at large hotels catering to foreigners and credit cards are widely accepted in Astana and Almaty. Outside of Astana and Almaty, automatic teller machine (ATM) services are limited and you should confirm ATM locations with your credit card provider before travel.
Your passport is a valuable document that is attractive to criminals who may try to use your identity to commit crimes. It should always be kept in a safe place. You are required by Australian law to report a lost or stolen passport online or contact the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate as soon as possible.
Local travel
Government authorisation is required prior to travel to areas along the border with China (Kulzhat and Kargos), regions around the Gvardeyskiy village, Rossavel village, the Kulzhabashy railway station in Zhambyl Oblast, Bokeyorda and Zhangaly districts in Western Kazakhstan Oblast, the town of Priozersk and Gulshad village in Karagunda Oblast, Baykonur, Karmakshy, and Kazakly districts in Kyzylorda Oblast, and to areas where military installations are located. If you plan to travel to popular tourist sites situated within 25 kilometres of Kazakhstan's borders, make sure you have personal identification on you in case you are requested to present it to the local authorities.
Driving standards and road conditions are poor. Roads can be particularly hazardous at night because of insufficient lighting, and during winter because of snow and ice. Access to service stations can be limited in rural areas and fuel shortages can occur. Beware of farm animals on the roads. The road between Almaty and Bishkek (Kyrgyz Republic) is particularly treacherous. For further advice, see our road travel page.
Rail travel can be unreliable and dangerous due to petty crime.
Travel on local buses and mini-buses is not recommended because of poor maintenance and safety standards.
Be careful when crossing streets as cars may not give way to pedestrians, and when driving, beware of pedestrians crossing streets unexpectedly.
Airline safety
The European Union has imposed an operating ban on all carriers certified by Kazakhstan regulatory authorities, with the exception of Air Astana. The European Union (EU) European Union website has a list of airlines that are subject to operating bans or restrictions within the EU.
The Australian Government does not provide information on the safety of individual commercial airlines or flight paths. See instead the Aviation Safety Network website for information on aviation safety Kazakhstan.
Please also refer to our general air travel page for information on aviation safety and security.
You are subject to the local laws of Kazakhstan, including ones that appear harsh by Australian standards. If you're arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you under our Consular Services Charter. But we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail. Research laws before travelling, especially for an extended stay.
Under Kazakhstan law, you must carry your passport, with appropriate registration, at all times (a certified copy obtained at the embassy will do). Identification checks by police are common.
Penalties for the possession, use or trafficking in illegal drugs are severe and include prison sentences and heavy fines. See our Drugs page.
Driving with a blood alcohol level greater than zero is an offence in Kazakhstan.
There are restrictions on photography near military and security establishments, border areas and some official buildings. Notices about these restrictions are not always indicated. Photographing airport facilities is prohibited. Many of the larger shops and supermarkets also prohibit photography.
Same-sex relationships are not illegal in Kazakhstan, but are not widely accepted by society. Information for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and inter sex travellers can be found on our LGBTI travellers page.
Serious crimes, such as murder, may attract the death penalty.
An apostille is required on Australian-issued documents to be recognised in Kazakhstan. If you planning to live or work in Kazakhstan for long periods, we encourage you to contact the nearest Embassy or consulate of Kazakhstan to check their requirements for legalising documents, prior to departing Australia. For additional information check our Legalising documents page.
If you intend to apply for a Kazakh residency permit, you will require a Certificate of No Objection to Residency. Similarly, if you intend to get married in Kazakhstan, you will require a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage. You can apply for these certificates at the Australian Embassy in Moscow.
Local customs
The Islamic holy month of Ramadan will begin around early June 2016. During Ramadan, Australians travelling to countries with significant Muslim communities should take care to respect religious and cultural sensitivities, rules and customs. In particular, people who are not fasting are advised to avoid eating, drinking and smoking in public and in the presence of people who are fasting. For more information see our Ramadan bulletin.
Standards of dress and behaviour are conservative in Kazakhstan and you should take care not to offend. If in doubt, dress conservatively and seek local advice.
Information for dual nationals
Kazakhstan does not recognise dual nationality. This may limit our ability to provide consular assistance to Australian/Kazakh dual nationals who are arrested or detained. We strongly recommend you travel on your Australian passport at all times, however you may be required to enter Kazakhstan on your Kazakh passport.
Australian/Kazakh dual nationals may be required to complete national service obligations if they visit Kazakhstan. For further information, contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Kazakhstan before you travel.
Our dual nationals page provides further information.
We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you are away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas or medical evacuation costs.
It is important to consider your physical and mental health before travelling overseas. We encourage you to consider having vaccinations before you travel. At least eight weeks before you depart, make an appointment with your doctor or travel clinic for a basic health check-up, and to discuss your travel plans and any implications for your health, particularly if you have an existing medical condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides information for travellers and our health page also provides useful information for travellers on staying healthy.
Medical facilities throughout Kazakhstan are below Western standards. Basic drugs and equipment are in short supply. Most doctors and hospitals will require payment in cash, regardless of whether you have travel insurance. In the event of a serious illness or accident, medical evacuation to a destination with the appropriate facilities would be necessary. Medical evacuation costs could be considerable.
Travel in forested areas brings the risk of exposure to tick-borne encephalitis. Ticks are very common from spring to autumn. We recommend you take precautions against being bitten by insects and use insect repellent at all times.
Water-borne, food-borne, parasitic and other infectious diseases (including HIV/AIDS, typhoid, hepatitis, haemorrhagic fever, tuberculosis, brucellosis, leishmaniasis and rabies) are prevalent with more serious outbreaks occurring from time to time. We advise you to boil all drinking water or drink bottled water. Avoid ice cubes, unpasteurised dairy products, and raw and undercooked food. Seek medical advice if you have a fever or are suffering from diarrhoea.
Some medications available over the counter of by prescription in Australia, such as sleeping tablets or medication containing codeine, may be illegal or restricted in Kazakhstan. You should contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Kazakhstan for advice. You should also carry a copy of the prescription, a letter from your physician and declare all prescription medication and other restricted items on arrival. If not declared, or if the quantity held exceeds legal limits, possession of such items even with a doctor's prescription, could lead to administrative or even criminal charges.
Where to get help
Depending on your enquiry, your best option may be to first contact your family, friends, airline, travel agent, tour operator, employer or travel insurer. Your travel insurer should have a 24 hour emergency number.
For criminal issues, contact the local police on 112. The national emergency number is 102. Emergency numbers for firefighting and rescue is 101, and ambulance or medical emergencies is 103. You should obtain a police report when reporting a crime.
To complain about tourism services, contact the service provider directly.
Australia does not have an embassy or consulate in Kazakhstan. By agreement between the Canadian and Australian governments, the Canadian Embassy in Astana, provides limited consular assistance to Australians in Kazakhstan. This service includes the issuance of Provisional Travel Documents.

Originally posted on Pirates Prospects | Last updated 7/18/13
Gregory Polanco drew rave reviews from the Futures Game. There's something about the Futures Game that leads to a top Pirates prospect giving a bad first impression that doesn't represent his skills at all. On Sunday, Gregory Polanco started in center field for the World team. Polanco went 0-for-1 with a walk, but the thing that stood out was his bad route on a ball hit over his head to straightaway center field. You can see the route in the video at the top of this article. Polanco turned and started running to his left. He turned around, realized the ball was heading to his right, quickly turned, but had no chance on the ball. He probably wouldn't have caught the ball if he ran straight back, but it looked awkward. The same video shows him fielding a ball hit to shallow center, which was pretty uneventful. Polanco isn't a bad fielder, but the route he took represents one area of his game that needs to be polished. It's almost like how Gerrit Cole was hit hard in his Futures Game appearance a few years ago, showing his tendency to leave the ball up in the zone. It was a bad first impression, but not a long-term issue. I'll get to Polanco's fielding in a minute, but I wanted to highlight some of the reactions on Polanco's performance this weekend. The Reviews **Jason Parks of Baseball Prospectus has a glowing report on Polanco. In the article intro he says "Gregory Polanco's swing sounds like unicorns mating", which is a line worth the price of a BP subscription by itself. He did note the routes in center weren't the best, but talked about how it is easy to dream on Polanco's projection. **Keith Law brought up Polanco getting spun around on a deep fly ball to center, noting that it probably wasn't catchable. Law notes that Polanco is a very good defender in center field, and made an unfortunate error in judgment when everyone could see it. **Ben Badler of Baseball America said that Polanco had the best batting practice session, and could have a Domonic Brown-like power breakout in his future. About Those Routes I saw a lot of Polanco this year in Bradenton. I wish I could say I never saw him take a bad route on a ball straight back, but I have. Polanco is a great fielder, but one weakness with his game is judging balls that are hit directly to center field. For balls hit over his head, he tends to get turned around. He doesn't have those problems with balls hit deep and to the gaps, using his speed to go directly to those and cut them off. Polanco also tends to freeze up and take a second or two to recognize a ball hit straight towards him. That's not uncommon, but it seems like Polanco takes an extra second compared to most center fielders, kind of looking like a deer in the headlights at times. One of the final things Polanco was working on before his promotion to Altoona was his fielding in center. Specifically, he was working on ranging straight back. Marauders manager Frank Kremblas forced Polanco to play in shallow center field, which would force him to gain some trust in ranging backwards. By playing shallow, Polanco was forced to use his speed to hustle back to balls hit deep. The placement resulted in two things. One is that by playing shallow, Polanco could prevent guys from taking an extra base on a single to center. He also had enough speed to get back to the wall, even when he was playing shallow. He ended up making some plays that he wouldn't have made if he started deeper in center field, just because he was more aggressive with his speed. The biggest benefit that playing shallow can provide is that it can give Polanco more experience ranging backwards. He doesn't have issues ranging to the gaps, and he has the speed and range to cover a ton of ground in center. He just needs to improve his ability to judge balls hit to straightaway center. By playing shallow, he's going to see more in-game opportunities to judge balls off the bat, and run routes straight back. He may not play center field in the majors, but he's still going to need the ability to run good routes on balls hit over his head. Every prospect has things to work on. Fortunately this is one of the few things Polanco has to work on, outside of adjusting to new levels and eventually tapping into his raw power. As far as development goes, this is preferred over something more serious like a plate patience issue or the lack of a tool. This is an issue that can be improved with experience, which is something Polanco can still get in the next year before his expected arrival in the majors.

Enhanced for Bible Study using the Resource Guide
Available for: iPad, iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows Desktop and Windows Store.
II Samuel completes P. Kyle McCarter, Jr.'s study of the book of Samuel. Based upon the introduction and commentary of his first volume, McCarter continues the discussion of textual and literary sources as they relate to a reconstruction of historical events.
A key issue for McCarter is accounting for the historical circumstances that led to the composition of the book of Samuel. In dialogue with major schools of thought pertaining to the origin and transmission of the book, the author offers his scholarly opinions on its composition. McCarter presents a unique new translation based upon the latest and most extensive textual sources available, including scrolls and fragments from Qumran. Furthermore, he resolves the complicated textual history of Samuel.
P. Kyle McCarter, Jr., is William F. Albright Professor in Biblical and Near Eastern Studies at Johns Hopkins University. He holds degrees from Harvard University, McCormick Theological Seminary, and the University of Oklahoma.
THE ANCHOR YALE BIBLE COMMENTARY SERIES is a project of international and interfaith scope in which Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish scholars from many countries contribute individual volumes. The project is not sponsored by any ecclesiastical organization and is not intended to reflect any particular theological doctrine.
The Anchor Yale Bible is committed to producing commentaries in the tradition established half a century ago by the founders of the series, William Foxwell Albright and David Noel Freedman. It aims to present the best contemporary scholarship in a way that is accessible not only to scholars but also to the educated nonspecialist. Its approach is grounded in exact translation of the ancient languages and an appreciation of the historical and cultural context in which the biblical books were written supplemented by insights from modern methods, such as sociological and literary criticism.
This title is Also available in the following Sets:
Anchor Yale Commentary Old Testament & Apocrypha Set (60 volumes).
Anchor Yale Bible Commentary Set (86 volumes).

Something that refused to come quitly or quickly, much like Illitheous himself. My computer hates me. Many MANY thanks go out to for this little master piece! He did the art. I did the the dialogue and the story/events and such. A more detailed version of what happens here will be posted soon in my story Dying Embers that this is a visual representation of.
Go check it out that story that this is from. Here be the link -> [link]
Comments are allways welcome!

Holy Celestia, what have I walked into now
this reminds me of a movie i forgot its name still this very good
Dat coat looks like an "death dealer" coat from underworld
Very well drawn. (Go Celestia!)
its like what would happen if you put MLP, Ghost Rider and star wars together in a blender
Why is Ghost Rider pissed off at Celestia?
I cant tell if your sereous or trying to be funny.
Trying to be funny
The more you realize what you don't know. No really, the more I learn through study and experience, the more I realize how limited my knowledge of this universe in which we live. Sorry to get introspective on you, but I couldn't resist.
ooh look, its star wars
Is that going to be a problem?
Ghost Rider vs Celestia, Damn epic!
THAT Guy looks like ghost rider
*sigh* I give up.
Haha, Star Wars 3 refs.
Its just a general insult. He doesn't mean it literally per-say. It's like when you call someone a slut or a bitch. Same rules apply.
Ah. I understand completely.
Hey, be sure and keep making these. I am intrigued.
Hey, be sure and keep making these. I am intrigued.
At least you didnt say it was Ghost Rider.
Oh, dear. Are others really asking that?
How do you think I feel. I came up with the guy! Sure there's a resemblance but it's hardly an exact copy. When people see Rarity then Sweetie Belle they shouldn't say "Hey look its rarity only smaller!". Sorry, needed to vent there. Have you checked out the full story this comic is based on? There's a link in the description if you want to give it a look.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Origins Available: French, Welsh
The surname Challen is derived from the Old English word "chaloun," which means "blanket." This word comes from the place named Châlons-sur-Marne, a prosperous industrial center in Europe, where these items were produced. The name is thought to have been occupational for someone who made or sold blankets or coverlets. The surname Challen may also be a local surname given to someone who came from this place.
The surname Challen was first found in Powys (Welsh: Powys), a Welsh Kingdom in post-Roman times, now a county of Wales created by joining the former counties of Montgomeryshire, Radnorshire, and Breconshire, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Although there are not an extremely large number Welsh surnames, there are an inordinately large number of spelling variations of those surnames. This variety of spellings began almost immediately after the acceptance of surnames within Welsh society. As time progressed, these old Brythonic names were eventually were recorded in English. This process was problematic in that many of the highly inflected sounds of the native language of Wales could not be properly captured in English. Some families, however, did decide to modify their own names to indicate a branch loyalty within the family, a religious adherence, or even a patriotic affiliation. The name Challen has seen various spelling variations: Chaloner, Challener, Challenor, Challinor, Chalener, Chalenor, Challoner, Chalinor, Challon, Challin, Challen, Chalen, Chalin and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Challen research. Another 305 words (22 lines of text) covering the years 1472, 1558, 1521, 1565, 1559, 1615, 1595, 1661, 1650, 1699 and 1699 are included under the topic Early Challen History in all our PDF Extended History products.
Another 201 words (14 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Challen Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the first settlers of this family name were:
Challen Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
The Challen Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Challen Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this doctor. He is the absolute best. After seeing several doctors for stomach pains, he went thru a number of test to find out what was wrong with me and referred me to a great GI doc as well. He cares so much and is very smart. I recommend him to everyone!!
Dr. Libiran is a true patient advocate. He brings a proactive practice to his clinical management. He doesn't just TREAT the disease, he anticipates potential problems and cares for them before they become actual problems. He is a true practitioner. This is coming from someone in the medical profession. I trust him with all my loved ones.
I suffer with chronic pain & he refused to perscribe me anything for pain. I was literally laying on his table crying for pain & he just shook his head......He is a band-aid doctor thats all. Thank God I found a real doctor to help me & I can walk aaagain this doctor is a quack & I wouldnt refer him to ANYBODY !!!!!! Go back to the Phillipines if you dont know how to doctor in America!!!!!!! 0stars for this fake doctor.......If you refuse to perscribe medicine you are NOT a real doctor.....!
Finally, a doctor that really cares about his patients! He is thorough, empathetic, friendly, an excellent communicator, evidently loving and honoring his profession.

Chancellor's Graduate and Faculty/Staff Awards for Excellence in STEM Education
Rebecca Ciancanelli, Julia Willis, Student Academic & Services Center
Inclusive Biology Success Project.
The primary goal of our project is to improve first year outcomes for a freshman cohort of twenty five (25) underrepresented and underserved students who plan to enroll in EBIO 1210, General Biology in order to complete a MAPS requirement or to prepare for a STEM major. Our short-term goal is to improve our first gateway science course within the SASC department such that improved outcomes for freshmen are sustained throughout the general biology sequence.
At this pilot stage, we expect to demonstrate the impact of teaching a re-engineered EBIO 1210 with active learning POGIL activities and frequent low pressure assessment on improved first-term outcomes for a cohort of underrepresented and underserved SASC freshmen who plan to enroll in the General Biology sequence. After the completion of this pilot stage, we will seek continuing support for the Inclusive Biology Success Project from other relevant sources of competitive grant funding, such as the NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education
John Falconer, Chemical & Biological Engineering
Interactive Simulations combined with Screencasts and Concept Tests.
We propose to prepare interactive Mathematica simulations that focus on important concepts for chemical engineering thermodynamics, a junior-level course that will have a total enrollment (2 sections) in fall 2015 of about 190 students. These simulations will be incorporated into ConcepTests that will be used in class with clickers and peer instruction. The simulations will also be posted on our web site, and short screencasts that describe the simulations and how to use them will be prepared so students can use the simulations on their own. We hypothesize that integrating interactive simulations into ConcepTests and providing screencasts to help students use the simulations will improve understanding of the important concepts in thermodynamics. Assessing the effectiveness of the combined ConcepTests/interactive simulations/screencasts will be done by comparing student performance on conceptual questions on the final exam. The objective will be to determine if student performance improves when interactive simulations and screencasts are added to ConcepTests.

Reframing Science Retention and Achievement: Using an Asset-Based Approach to Examine Why Students Succeed in Science.
This proposal seeks to reframe retention by exploring asset-based approaches to academic success and retention. For example rather than exploring the question "What academic experiences cause students to leave STEM fields?" I seek to explore the question "What academic experiences are associated with students' decisions to remain in STEM fields?" Although there exist a few studies exploring these facets more work needs to be done. My proposal seeks to fill this gap by investigating the following research questions:
Andrew Martin, Cynthia Buchenroth-Martin, S Ecology & Evolutionary Biology
Experimental evaluation of a difficult to assess learning goal: effective communication and productive collaboration towards a common goal.
The proposed research is centered on an important learning goal for STEM majors identified by the Vision and Change document: communicate and collaborate with other disciplines. While this is an important overall goal we have re-interpreted this core competency. Instead of other disciplines we assume that it is first necessary for students to be able to effectively communicate and collaborate with people of varying knowledge and points of view towards common goals. Unlike most other learning goals articulated by the Vision and Change document (e.g. ability to use the process of science ability to use scientific reasoning ability to use modeling and simulation) this learning goal poses considerable challenges for assessment and for designing curriculum to achieve this goal.
A critical part of this experiment is developing an assessment approach that captures relevant data. We are interested in three axes of student learning: mastering the content demonstrating the science process skills and exhibit behavior consistent with effective communication and productive collaboration. Our prototype assessment includes a checklist of goals that will not be provided to students when the assessment is implemented but the checklist will be used multiple times in the semester as guidance for students. The prototype is designed as a puzzle for the experimental group and is not implemented as a puzzle for the control. This mirrors the experience of the students in the two treatments.
Sarah Grover, AT Psychology & Neuroscience
Examining the quality of cross-sex interactions in undergraduate STEM courses and how it effects women's belonging, confidence and self-efficacy.
The goal of this research is to examine environmental factors that increase women's intentions to persist in STEM fields. We intend to achieve this goal by addressing two important research questions, (1) what is the quality of interactions between male and female undergraduates (i.e., cross-sex contact) in male-dominated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields? And (2) how does the quality of women's cross-sex contact relate to their belonging, self-efficacy, and confidence in their abilities in STEM?
To assess the longitudinal impacts of cross-sex contact quality, we will collect questionnaire measures at three time points: the first week of classes (baseline), eight weeks into classes (intermediate measures) and the last week of classes (final outcomes). During the first and last week of classes we will collect measures of important psychological factors associated with academic success including belonging, self-efficacy, confidence in abilities, identification, and intentions to persist in their STEM major. Five weeks into classes we will collect measures of the quantity and quality of cross-sex contact. We implement this longitudinal design because it will allow us to examine changes in belonging, self-efficacy, etc. over the course of the semester (from the first week to the last week) and most importantly, the extent to which changes in these factors can be explained by the quality of women's cross-sex contact experiences.
Brittany Kos, ATLAS
Computer science is 'hard': Uncovering cultural identities within introductory computing courses.
The purpose of this study is to understand how cultural norms permeate introductory computing courses and recognize how students adopt or reject these identities in their academic careers. This study will focus on 2 introductory computing classes that serve three major degree programs: 1. B.S. in Technology, Arts, and Media (TAM-BS), 2. B.S. in Computer Science (CS-BS), and 3. B.A. in Computer Science (CS-BA). Each of these degree programs attracts a different type of student, but also have significant overlap in their degree requirements with one another. All three of these programs share similar first years, since all students are required to take CS1: Introductory Programming (CSCI 1300), CS2: Data Structures (CSCI 2270), and Calculus 1 and 2. Students are required to take these early in their academic careers, since they are often prerequisites in more difficult or upper-division courses. This study will focus on these two classes and the impact they have on student's academic careers.
This study has three intersecting conceptual frameworks: Communities of Practice, Becoming an Engineer, and Mediated Discourse Analysis. These frameworks will be employed to gain a full understanding of a student's trajectory through the introductory classes of the three degree programs.
Susan Miller, School of Education
Computational thinking for undergraduate students in the context of preservice teacher education.
The purpose of this project is to research undergraduate students' conceptions of computational thinking before and after completing computational thinking activities. This research will be accomplished in three steps. First, I plan to develop and administer a survey to undergraduate students to help me understand the ways in which undergraduate students currently conceptualize computational thinking. Second, I plan to develop a set of computational thinking course activities designed for undergraduate students who are pursuing licensure in secondary science and mathematics. These students will use the computational thinking activities as a means to design and explore ways in which technology can be used to solve complex problems through modeling. Specifically, these activities will be designed to supplement existing methods activities through the addition of visual programming skills with the goal of increasing computational thinking skills. The goal of these activities will be to support undergraduate students pursuing licensure as a secondary math or science teacher in bringing computational thinking skills to their own classrooms in a variety of ways.
This project will enable me to answer these research questions:
In what ways do undergraduate students currently conceptualize computational thinking?
In what ways are undergraduate students' conceptualizations of computational thinking malleable as a result of additional undergraduate activities?
Jane Barker, S Psychology & Neuroscience
Developing skills to persist and succeed in STEM: Comparing self-directedness, learning, curiosity, and persistence in more- and less-structured Science Discovery Camps.
The proposed research tests the effectiveness of an intervention designed to increase self-directedness in children in informal STEM learning environments. We have conducted an initial study at CU, which shows that the more time children spend in less-structured activities in their daily lives, the better their ability to set goals for themselves and reach them. Conversely, the more time children spend in adult-structured activities, the worse these self-directed abilities. These findings are promising, and they may have broad implications given that such abilities in childhood predict a range of important life outcomes, including performance in STEM education. However, an experimental study is needed to address causal questions, potential for intervention, and implications for informal STEM learning environments.
We will test the impact of manipulating the amount of time children spend in more- and lessstructured activities, in an ecologically-valid, rich setting that nonetheless affords excellent experimental control: the CU Science Discovery summer camps, which bridge STEM disciplines to connect K-12 students and teachers to hands-on science experiences, impacting more than 20,000 individuals each year. We will collaborate with Science Discovery to develop, teach, and assess intervention fidelity in four sessions of week-long camps. Children who enroll will be randomly assigned to a structured or less-structured version of one of two camps: a "Science of Toys" camp for 6-8 year olds (N = 32; 16 per condition), or a "Toy Engineering" camp for 8-10 year olds (N = 32; 16 per condition). In the more-structured camps, an adult will instruct and guide children on what and how to build, while in the less-structured camps, children will decide what and how to build. We will compare self-directedness, scientific learning, curiosity, and persistence between the two groups.

Twitter is one of the more popular social networking sites. Compared to other social networking sites, Twitter is a lot simpler and may not have some of the other features that most people use in those other sites. However, a lot of people still use Twitter because its simplicity translates to its user-friendliness and it is relatively easy to use. Twitter allows a person to post a statement or a Tweet about anything that he feels saying something about. This Tweets could then solicit responses from other people on his network or those people can retweet what that person has tweeted. Tweeter even allows its members to post the same Tweets on Facebook and other social networking sites by interconnecting those accounts so that those from other social networking sites will be able to see and comment on those posts.
A measure of popularity on Tweeter is the number of followers that person has. Just like any other social networking site, the number of followers would dictate the size of a person's network and essentially the number of people that would read about his tweets. Recently businesses have entered Tweeter to use it as an advertising and promotion tool. However, to effectively do that, these businesses need a lot of followers. That can be achieved when a business would buy targeted Twitter followers. That move could exponentially increase the number of followers a business has and thus increase the reach of the ads that would be posted for that same business.
