Did I Screw Up ??????
I needed pitching and speed. I traded Utley and Vazquez for Roberts and Hamels. Utley has cooled off over the last month. I know he will heat back up, but don't think he can duplicate his first half. Did I make a mistake. What could I have gotten?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I thought this deal sounded bad in your original post, but after reading the responses, it seems you gave up more than I originally thought. Getting Hamels and Roberts for Utley, Volquez, J, Vazquez and R. Vazquez is very uneven. lol.
These clowns need to learn to read.
Seriously though, Utley is a clear first rounder. Roberts is a third rounder at best and Hamels probably a 4th or 5th rounder. You never give up a first rounder for that little return regardless of your need. If you had shopped him around, you could have gotten more. If you needed speed, you probably could have gotten someone like Ichiro, Sizemore or Kinsler along with a top pitcher like Beckett, Sabathia or Volquez. I'm not saying that everyone would have made that deal, but with the 1st half that Utley had, this would have been feasible and expected.
I don;t tihnk it's that bad a trade. Ramon Vazquez is basically a throwaway, especially since Blalock is back at 3rd base, so it's basically Utley for Roberts and Hamels. I tihnk Utley is worth mroe than those guys, however, you definitely upgrades SBs and Pitching, so team needs might have been met.
lol man, try to get that trad vetoed cause damn man. u could have gotten a lot more, maybe just utley for the 2 players but yea, DEAL WITH IT.
While I might think you got a slightly bad deal, on principal..... I gotta say that alot of these responses are baseless, and pretty ignorant.
Look at the stat lines of the 2 pitchers- huge jump in production from Vazquez to Hamels. You ultimately get at least 1.5 era boost, .5whip boost, and more inn/ game. K/9 is roughly the same, so expect to see more k out of hamels, due to the higher IP rate.
As for Roberts/ Utley- not sure your loss on this side balances it out. You lost a ton of power production, and a much better lineup around him than in Balt. This may change with roberts on the move... maybe??? Big gamble there.
So u may have lost ur ass on Roberts side, and come up big on vazquez for hamels..... But when you combine this, you could have done better making a move for figgins (buy low) and getting another quality player with some power to go with a similar quality pitcher. Or at least picked up another player in the deal. You had some upward room in that deal, but if you're happy, who really cares.
If ur team could do without RBIs and HRs, then u did fine although you could have gotten more. I think Utley is worth Roberts and Hamels alone without looking at needs. SB is just one category while RBI and HR are two. If Utley was a big part of your RBIs and HRs then you messed up big time.
u good the worse of the deal, but if u need speed roberts will help, and hamels is better that vazquez. you should have gotten more 4 utley though. you shouldn't just throw away ur first round pick...
johnqpublic johnqpublic Jul 18, 2008 2:33 PM Flag
You screwed up huge bud. Utley is an elite 2b and its key too have elite people in key positions ie 2b/ss/c. The difference in Vazquez and Hamels is not great. Vazquez on any given night can be as good as Hamels. Your gaining maybe .5 in era and giving up 30-40 HR's, 50-70 RBI's and gaining 20 SB.
theres no if and or butts about it, you got screwed. you traded away possible the n.l. mvp and the n.l. cy young winner. you could have gotten better.
A Yahoo! User Jul 17, 2008 10:03 PM Flag
These clowns that say you got a bad deal have no clue.
Roberts' #'s are better than Chase's over the last month and Hamels is a major upgrade over Vazquez. I like the deal. Sometimes is takes balls to give up the big name, but I think you did good.
Utley 12 3 7 4 .256
Roberts 22 2 4 8 .323

You got two studs for one, you made out like a fatrat. Hamels will be gold playoff time and the negatives offensively by losing Utley are tempered by getting Roberts. Vasquez is crap, a throw away that should have never been on your roster to begin with. And you got value for him. You've weakened your opponent, good job.
I think you did OK. Only downgraded in the HR & RBI catagories. Picked up in the SB though. Pitching catsagory went up across the board. Upgraded 6 catagories and dropped 2 overall. Sounds good to me. Also, it takes a very elite player like Utley to pry away Hamels & Roberts in the same deal. Anything less than Utley would probably have gotten a reject.

At least one of Charleston County School District's outsourced custodians still isn't satisfied that the district paid her what she was owed last year, and she plans to take her dispute to court.
Stacey Pittelkow filed a lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas two weeks ago, and it claims the district intentionally and illegally withheld her pay for the last three weeks of July. The lawsuit seeks damages of at least $7,500, and Pittelkow also hopes to establish a class action on behalf of her former coworkers.
"We believe that all of the class members are due just compensation for the work they actually did," said attorney Eric Saleme with the Mlynarczyk Law Firm that's representing Pittelkow.
Saleme said all of the district's former custodians are owed payment. To bring a claim for each person would be redundant, so making this a class-action lawsuit would be more expedient and efficient, he said.
John Emerson, the district's attorney, said he informed board members of the lawsuit the day he received it. He hadn't had a chance to analyze it closely, but said the outsourced day porters have been properly compensated.
Pittelkow worked as a day porter from August 2005 until July 2011. She's one of 57 custodians who lost their district jobs last summer after the county school board agreed to use private companies for those services. The board's decision prompted strong criticism from employees and the community.
Every custodian was guaranteed a job in the outsourcing agreement, but not everyone accepted the offer. Saleme declined to say whether Pittelkow took that job.
When custodians received their final payouts from the district, some said they weren't paid what they should have been. The situation was further complicated by a poorly written letter that school leaders have said likely confused its former workers about what they were owed.
Although district officials said everyone already received the compensation to which they were entitled, they agreed to pay each outsourced employee up to $1,150 in December because the letter was misinterpreted.
The lawsuit doesn't reference the additional payment, but Saleme said any retroactive payment wouldn't fulfill the district's obligation to its former workers.

RANGOON—The dormitories are empty, the once charming bungalows of professors overgrown with vines and weeds. Only grass grows where the Student Union building stood before soldiers obliterated it with dynamite.
This is Rangoon University, once one of Asia's finest and a poignant symbol of an education system crippled by Burma's half a century of military rule. Only graduate students are still allowed to study here. Fearful of student-led uprisings, the regime has periodically shut down this and other campuses and dispersed students to remote areas with few facilities.
Now, as the nation also known as Myanmar opens its doors to the outside world, it is paying a heavy price. The crackdown on universities has spawned a lost generation. The pace of development will be slowed and Burmese exploited, educators say, as the poorly schooled populace deals with an expected influx of foreign investors and aid donors, along with profiteers looking for a quick dollar.
"To catch up with the rest of the world we will need at least 10 years. We have to change our entire education culture, and that will be very difficult," said Dr. Phone Win, a physician who heads Mingalar Myanmar, a group promoting education.
Initial steps are being taken. President Thein Sein, a former general who has loosened the military's vise on power through unprecedented reforms, pledged in his inauguration speech last year to improve education and seek foreign expertise to lift standards to international levels.
The education budget, though still dwarfed by military spending and widely criticized as inadequate, was increased in April from US $340 million to $740 million. For years, about 25 percent of the budget went to the armed forces, compared to 1.3 percent for education.
Burma is saddled with two generations of chemistry professors who have never conducted a proper laboratory experiment and mechanical engineers yet to handle hands-on equipment, said Moe Kyaw, a prominent businessman involved with education issues.
From MBAs to lawyers and accountants, shortages abound. Of particular concern, Moe Kyaw said, is the lack of skilled technicians and workers, who will be sorely needed if an investment boom does come. Government officials at a recent conference on the future of Rangoon, the largest city and former capital, said the country has only about 50 urban planners but needs 500.
"You could say Myanmar might be exploited, but they will also lose out on lucrative job opportunities because, if locals aren't qualified to fill positions, the foreigners will bring in their own," said Sardar Umar Alam, a UNESCO education expert.
Although the government boasts 160 institutions of higher learning, many graduates scoff at their own degrees, often saying they are "not worth the paper they're printed on."
Many also lament the loss of English skills in this former British colony since xenophobic former leader Gen. Ne Win banned its teaching at lower school levels in the mid-1960s.
"I have a very capable woman staffer in Mandalay with a bachelor's degree in psychology, but she can't even spell the word in English," said Moe Kya, the British-educated head of Myanmar Marketing Research Development Company.
The opening salvo in what many here call "a war on education" came when troops blew up Rangoon University's Student Union, regarded as a hotbed of dissent, after the military seized power in 1962.
But probably the darkest days followed a failed 1988 pro-democracy uprising, led by opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi with students as the driving force. The regime began shutting down universities and sending students to the countryside to prevent more anti-government protests.
"University life has been shattered because of a perceived need to keep students in order," Suu Kyi said in a recent speech before the British Parliament.
The education system is "desperately weak," she added in another speech at Oxford University. "Reform is needed, not just of schools and curriculum, and the training of teachers, but also of our attitude to education, which at present is too narrow and rigid."
Even attendance at the rural campuses was discouraged in favor of distance education, still the road to a degree for some 70 percent of students. Typically, they are given audio cassettes and a few simple take-home assignments and only need to attend classes for 10 days or less each year.
"We had to learn a lot in the streets, not in the classrooms," recalled Phone Win, who took 10 years to finish his medical degree because the faculty was closed for three of them.
His generation, people now mostly in their 40s, should be moving into senior positions in government and business. Those who have are shortchanged by their schooling, while others, disillusioned, slumped into jobs well below their potential or joined an exodus to foreign countries.
Throughout the years of authoritarian rule, the education system spiraled downward. Cheating on exams became widespread. Poverty induced a staggering dropout rate: some 70 percent at one time did not finish their primary schooling. University standards plummeted.
"In Myanmar, professors don't need to research, write papers or attend conferences. On Friday you apply to the government and on Monday you can be a professor," says Phone Win.
With the recent easing of military rule, the public is venting its anger. On one popular blog, Ministry of Education officials are accused of being ignorant military officers using their positions to get rich.
But the government appears to be trying to improve the lot of the country's 9 million students.
Salaries of teachers, while still at the poverty level, have been raised to $30 a month, with those in rural areas receiving double that.
Long-severed links with foreign universities are being re-established. America's John Hopkins University plans to set up a Center of Excellence at Yangon University focusing on graduate students and teacher training.
"The president is really pushing for educational reform. But it's top-down and often stops at the director-general level," said Thaw Kaung, a former chief librarian at Rangoon University and one of the country's most respected scholars. "The government is also listening to the MPs and they are asking some hard questions that the ministers have to answer."
Many educated Burmese are eagerly waiting for the leadership to respond to a passionate open letter this month from U Myint, a presidential adviser who urged that Rangoon University be reopened to undergraduates and the Student Union rebuilt through public donations. He described the university as "an important landmark in national reconciliation and a memorable way to start a new chapter in our history."
The outcome could prove a key test of the seriousness of the regime's intent—and whether it has shed its fear of student power.
Is it true in later half of 20th & now the 21st century?Very unfortunate.
Burmese military under dictators Ne Win and Than Shwe was recorded as the Evil Armed Forces. The Dark Days of Burma must be turned into the Bright Days of Burma by Suu Kyi and the people of Burma.
Phone Win's ten years is a pretty good time scale.
May be someone could come out with detailed plan to improve education of the masses in those time span and also educate the public that it is most important to be patient and wait for the education of people to improve before the moderbn luxuries ae avilable simply by selling out raw materials and hard, unskilled labour.
If cogent argument could be made and plans can be put forth, Burmese public are well known for their patience and co-operation as well as resourcefulness.
Once, the finest education system in Asia was systematically destroyed by Gen. Ne win. I met a young lady, master degree in English did not know what is curriculum vitae and a second year computer student siad she had never seen(used) computer in her class.
A Ph. D. candidtae said she could not get doctoral degree because she could not grow Thai durain in Kyaukse. We know what is/are wrong with our education system. Then change it/improve it for next generations.
No MBA's amongst the gangster generals who have stolen Burma. These so called military men are just common thugs who are running Burma like Hilter's 1930's Germany. There is far too much appeasement of these evil men.
what has happened in burma regarding education was not the result of mismanagement or accidental. it was the part of their strategy to keep the mass uneducated or undereducated so that the generals and and their off-springs could rule the country forever. the ruling elites have the best education facilities available at their disposal inside the country as well as in singapore, europe and usa plus russia. so why on earth they worry what has happened to local university campuses. they purposely let those buildings rot and bury under the weeds
E Major as it's popularly known proves its standards when a graduate can'y even string a single sentence of English together. No question it was deliberate dumbing down. You realized when they started handouts to learn by rote and offering extra tuition even for graduate students.
U Thaw Kaung hit it on the nail. Top down and elitist, but even so, even at professor level with no easy access to the Internet and online journals, what chances does the rest in education have?
Yet another example of attempting a wi without a wa.
University education under the military junta can be defined as…..Who are the leaders of Myanmar? Where are they trained from and what are they trained for? You will get the answer. We and the generation and once the goldenland of Myanmar suffers the outcome of the regime. th General Khin Nyunt and U Thoung declared their education policy fully supported by their community along with their children exploited Ph.D degrees even without the basic knowledge of Bachelor degree.
PhDs and Professoeships are produced on assembly lines in our country.PhD theses are available in the market.Professorships abound in our midsts.We are issuing " paper degrees" to our young students.Shame to those who are responsible for education demise.Understand,some unethical people from abroad are beginning to vendor Doctoral degrees..Who controlled authencity of these fake credentials? We need to know and we demand to know who are responsible? We must revolutionize our Education.The best way is to upgrade Monastic Education Schools for the poor with new curriculum and teaching aids.Similarly,Missionary and private schools should be allowed to compete Government schools.Of course,we will need qualified teachers,During post independent period,we hired teachers from India on short-term assignment.We could do same with teachers from many education backgrounds.Many countries did same,China included at the initial time of open door policy .But we must invest large sums in education if we want to regain its pre-62 eminence.We hope Daw Suu's dream of "Campus Life " sall be reestablished on the grounds of RU.
The education system needs to be rebuilt (with the help of the world) from the bottom up and all stages in between. ALL children should have affordable or access to REAL education. Those who missed out can catch up with determination and assistance. Those with fake papers and worthless 'degrees' need to understand that they need to retrain.
The country will rebuild. Money needs to be monitored, and to get where it is needed. The very good people are there on the ground, and on the border, as always doing the groundwork.
USE foreign assistance, for on the ground results. This should go through the NLD.
No 'jokes' please. Burma is a highly intelligent nation, and needs to develop widespread sound education, and catch up on the past travesties that made Burma laughing stock.
The worst part was the support given to the jokers. Now the support needs to go to the people, the NLD (who historically won a free election), and all ethnic leaders who are rebuilding facilities for their people.
Burma has an amazing young population, and so much future energy. Combined with the experience of the wise ones in exile, and on the border, and the professionals globally (Burmese and others) nothing should stop Burma (Myanmar will always be the name given by the hated military, as the people had no choice).
A referendum should be held in time- about the name of the country.

Digital Storytelling Resources
In the process of attending the recent 2012 Computer Users in Education (CUE) conference, a number of resources were shared that dealt with digital media production as well as digital storytelling. These resources and those that have come forward from my own experience can provide TRIO programs with some powerful video editing, media resources, and utilities that are either free or very inexpensive. Some of my favorites include:
- Storyboarding: A key element of any media production effort is storyboarding to provide the basic flow and organization of the project. Some sites that have been used by other educators to provide resources in this regard include:
- Video Editing: Probably the most convenient video editing tools available to programs are those that come directly from Apple and Microsoft. For the Mac, iMovie is a very powerful digital video editor. As for Windows, Microsoft offers Windows Movie Maker as a free download and provides the basic elements for teaching students about digital video editing. For the iPad, you might also want to take a look at Action Movie FX.
- Royalty Free Images, Video and Audio: Students not only need to learn the issues of media but also the requirements dealing with plagiarism related to original ownership and copyright. A way to alleviate potential problems is to use resources that are in the public domain. Some resources worth exploring include:
- Story Telling: A good way to get students engaged in digital media production is through digital story telling. Using resources like those listed by the Digital Storytelling Association can make it easy to integrate into your program. In the effort to teach students about digital storytelling, it's worth having them consider some of the following key components:
- Point of View – Have students consider not only the reason for a story but also why it should be told now and to whom should it be told.
- A Dramatic Question – What is the question or issue that needs to be addressed? To maintain the interest of the person watching or listening to the story, what's important and will be answered or resolved by the end of the story. For example, In an adventure, will the hero reach the goal? Once the question is answered, the story is over.
- Emotional Content – Did the story engage emotions? Did it invoke sadness, happiness, excitement, etc?
- Adding Voice – Did the student personalize their story by using their own voice. This has other benefits such as ELL instruction, practicing public speaking, etc.
- The Power of a Soundtrack – Selecting one or more soundtracks can help set the mood of the story and influence the impact and feeling related to the event currently being viewed.
- Economy – Ideally students will only shoot just what is necessary to keep the story visually rich while moving forward, with only the minimum of dialogue and number of scenes necessary to envision the larger story
- Pacing –An audience's interest is sustained by the rhythm of a story. A fast-paced movie with many quick edits and upbeat music can suggest urgency, action, nervousness, exasperation, and excitement. Conversely, a slow pace can suggest contemplation, romanticism, relaxation, or simple pleasures.
We have been asked frequently to have TRIO programs to tell their story. With the ease and ability that this can be done now by students, maybe we can begin to build a library of stories about TRIO and its success. We welcome comments and contributions related to this post.

2011-2012 Pac-12 Basketball
Report: Stanford & Cal
Sophomore class could hold key to Cardinal's season
Coach Johnny Dawkins, just one game over .500 after three seasons at Stanford, got a confidence boost from his employer this offseason with a contract extension through 2015-16.
He'd like to show this season that he deserves it.
Dawkins believes the conference will be stronger than a year ago, especially at the top with Arizona, UCLA, Washington and Cal. But he won't exclude his team from the conversation.
"I think we can be as competitive as any of the teams. We just need to keep getting better," Dawkins said. "I think we have potential."
Certainly the Cardinal has an interesting mix of veterans and young talent. Even without departed scoring leader Jeremy Green, who turned pro following his junior season, Stanford should be improved.
Seniors Josh Owens and Jarrett Mann will play key roles, but the Cardinal's chances of becoming a contender ride on the shoulder of six sophomores who combined for 47 starts and 825 points last season.
"They'll be counted on to do more," Dawkins said of the group led by Anthony Brown and Dwight Powell. "They'll have to assert themselves more and take a bigger leadership role. Those kids finished out the year having gained a lot of experience.
That should give them a feel for the level of play in our conference."
The Cardinal also has a valuable newcomer in freshman combo guard Chasson Randle, who led the team in scoring at 11 points per game on its exhibition tour of Spain.
"I thought he had some really good moments," Dawkins said. "Like any good freshman, he has a big learning curve right now. But I liked what he did considering the level of competition."
--Stanford is assured of having a different scoring leader for the 11th straight season after the departure of G Jeremy Green, who averaged a team-best 16.7 points. Green's decision to turn pro was "sort of a surprise," coach Johnny Dawkins acknowledged. "He decided to follow his dream, and I hope it works out for him. That's the nature of our game. In this day and age, you have to be prepared to deal with the uncertainty of players leaving."
--The Cardinal spent a couple of weeks touring Spain, where it faced an assortment of the country's top professional teams. Stanford didn't win a game, but Dawkins saw progress. "I think it was really good for guys to spend time face-to-face," he said. "And I learned that our team has potential. We played a terrific schedule, and we got better as the trip went on. They showed a nice competitive spirit."
--Stanford needs to make offensive improvements to compete for a middle-of-the-pack or higher spot. The Cardinal ranked just eighth in the Pac-10 in scoring at 66.4 points per game and played seven consecutive games at midseason without reaching 50 points. Aside from the departed Green, the rest of the team totaled just 110 3-point baskets. Stanford's returnees converted 63 percent of their free throws.
LAST YEAR: 15-16 overall, 7-11 in the Pac-10
HEAD COACH: Johnny Dawkins, fourth year as head coach (49-48 at Stanford; 49-48 career)
QUOTE TO NOTE: "It's important that we continue to develop our program. We've been building and working toward getting better every year. This year is no exception. We have the pieces in place to compete in our conference. Now we just have to go out and do it." -- Coach Johnny Dawkins.
PROBABLE STARTING LINEUP: PG Jarrett Mann, SG Chasson Randle, SF Anthony Brown, PF Dwight Powell, C Josh Owens.
LINEUP BREAKDOWN: Coach Johnny Dawkins has choices at most positions, starting at the point, where Mann's experience, defense and toughness are enough to compensate for his poor shooting. But sophomore Aaron Bright will also play the position, and freshman Chasson Randle can operate at either guard spot. Brown is a star-in-the-making on the wing, and the Cardinal expects Powell to be more aggressive and more productive. Owens is steady and efficient inside. The Cardinal has plenty of depth up front, including sophomores John Gage and Josh Huestis, and seniors Andrew Zimmerman and Jack Trotter.
SCOUTING THE NEWCOMERS: Freshman G Chasson Randle, the Illinois Class 3A co-winner of the "Mr. Basketball" award, was the nation's No. 68 overall prospect, according to Rivals.com. He can play either backcourt spot and gave a glimpse of his promise on the Cardinal's trip to Spain. "He was solid running the team and passing the ball, but when he felt there was a need (to score), he asserted himself," Dawkins said. "That's a rare combination. He has that balance of knowing when to pick his spots. He has a feel for the game." Redshirt freshman F Stefan Nastic, who played just five games last season after sustaining a stress fracture to his right foot, saw action in Spain and was "a pleasant surprise," Dawkins said.
--Sophomore SG Anthony Brown, who played last summer for the USA team at the U19 World Championships, scored in double figures 11 times in Stanford's final 15 games last season. Brown (8.7 ppg) should emerge as the Cardinal's chief perimeter scoring threat.
--Senior PF Josh Owens is the club's top returning scorer (11.6 ppg) and rebounder (6.5 rpg). Coach Johnny Dawkins said Owens is all-conference material. "He's shown flashes of that," the coach said. "The biggest thing, to be worthy of an honor like that, is the consistency to do it night in and night out. But he has the tools. He's improved since last season, and I'm excited for him this year."
--Sophomore F Dwight Powell (8.1 ppg, 5.2 rpg) showed glimpses of what he can do last season, but the Cardinal anticipates more from him. "It's just a matter of him continuing to refine his game," Dawkins said. "We would like for him to be more aggressive because of his potential. If he learns to do that, he'll get more comfortable."
--Redshirt sophomore F Andy Brown, who has torn his left ACL three times since his senior season in high school, is close to being healthy again. Dawkins said he expects Brown to play this season.
Veteran squad hopes to challenge for conference supremacy
The Golden Bears have the most experienced roster in the Pac-12, and they have more depth and versatility than they had a year ago.
They hope that adds up to a run to their second conference title in three years following a 50-year drought.
"One would assume, if we improve a little bit, we should be able to make a stronger push," said Mike Montgomery, in his fourth season as Bears coach.
Senior guard Jorge Gutierrez, who was Montgomery's first recruit, is the heart and soul of the team. He has developed from his freshman season as a defensive pest into a ferocious all-around player who should contend for Pac-12 Player of the Year honors.
"He's just a winner," Montgomery said. "Jorge gets about all the mileage out of himself that he can. He does so many things to help you win."
The Bears also feature 6-foot-6 wing Allen Crabbe, a silky-smooth shooter who earned Pac-10 Freshman of the Year honors last season. Crabbe averaged 16.4 points in conference play and scored 30 in a win over Washington State.
Then there's 6-8, 245-pound senior forward Harper Kamp, the most understated of the three, and possibly the most irreplaceable.
"The key thing is Harper has got to stay healthy," said Montgomery, underscoring the reality that Cal has little experienced depth behind him.
Kamp has undergone two knee surgeries over the past three seasons and is accustomed to playing with a certain level of discomfort.
"I'm trying to get it to the point where I can play every day and not worry about the pain," he said.
--Coach Mike Montgomery underwent a surgical procedure Oct. 19 and was expected to be sidelined for a short recovery period. The athletic department did not immediately provide details, but it said assistants Jay John and Travis DeCuire would lead the team until Montgomery's return.
--One of the biggest revelations of Cal's late-summer tour of northern Europe was the play of 6-foot-10, 260-pound walk-on center Robert Thurman. With Harper Kamp playing sparingly due to an ailing knee, Thurman started several games and played well.
"Robert's improved," Montgomery said. "He's a big, strong kid. He's gotten a lot better at simplifying the game. If he gets (the ball) and turns to the basket, he's pretty effective.
"I wouldn't say we're out of the woods on that. If we can get him to play hard and be smart with how he plays -- he's got to be physical, but smart-physical -- he's got the ability to score the ball inside a little bit and rebound the ball. He can help us."
--Montgomery isn't worried about his team's scoring, suggesting that will take care of itself. But there are other areas he said need improvement.
"We'd like to play man defense, and I'm concerned we're not progressing as much as I'd like," he said. "So we're going to try to get that to where it's something we can do effectively. I don't think we board like we should. We need to get more people going more aggressively to the offensive glass and making sure they get their block-offs."
LAST YEAR: 18-15 overall, 10-8 in the Pac-10
HEAD COACH: Mike Montgomery, 30th year as head coach (64-37 in three years at Cal; 611-281 career)
QUOTE TO NOTE: "We have a lot of talent, and we've got a lot of guys back. At this point, it's just a matter of how hard we're willing to work to get to the next level, which is being at the top of the league." -- Senior forward Harper Kamp.
PROBABLE STARTING LINEUP: PG Brandon Smith, SG Jorge Gutierrez, SF Allen Crabbe, PF Harper Kamp, PF Richard Solomon.
LINEUP BREAKDOWN: The Bears will have more depth and better flexibility than a year ago, when their bench often was non-productive. The arrival of sophomore guard Justin Cobbs, a transfer from Minnesota, will be big lift. Cobbs can play either guard spot and is more physical and offensively aggressive than starting PG Brandon Smith. The biggest personnel issue may be who will back up Allen Crabbe at small forward. The Bears hoped it would be redshirt freshman wing Alex Rossi, but the hernia and groin injuries that wiped out his rookie season have not cleared up. Rossi is considered an excellent spot-up shooter, but the Bears would like to see it in person. Walk-on wing Jeff Powers, who had a couple of nice games last season, could be the short-term answer.
Junior F Bak Bak is behind schedule after spending more than a month in Kenya, trying to get his passport renewed. The Bears hope sophomore G Emerson Murray is ready to contribute after offseason surgery to remove metal plates that were implanted in his foot after injury in high school.
SCOUTING THE NEWCOMERS: The Bears welcome two freshman forwards, both of whom could see playing time. David Kravish, a 6-foot-9 product over the Kansas City, Mo., area, is smart and skilled but weighs just 210 pounds and needs more strength. But both he and 6-8 Christian Behrens had their moments on the Bears' European exhibition tour.
"David is a very smart player," coach Mike Montgomery said of Kravish. "You look at the tape and you say, 'Gosh, he's always in the right spot. He always goes to where he's supposed to.' But he's 210 (pounds), so he'll get bounced out of some of the areas he's gotten to. Strength will be a factor for him."
On Behrens, Montgomery said, "He's got the knack -- we found out in Europe. He has a knack of being around the ball," Montgomery said of Behrens. "The last two games we played over there against the Danish national team, we don't win without David and Christian."
Sophomore G Justin Cobbs likely will have a bigger immediate impact after sitting out last season as a transfer from Minnesota. "Justin is strong. He can defend, he can score," Montgomery said. "His big thing is he kind of loses focus every now and again over what he's trying to do. But when he's going, doing the things he's capable of, he's real good."
--Sophomore Allen Crabbe, the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year in 2011, broke his nose during early summer training camp for the USA under-19 team and returned home before roster selections were made. He missed a chunk of the summer after surgery on the nose but was able to play when the Bears visited northern Europe in September. Crabbe figures to be the Bears' leading scorer this season after averaging 13.4 points per game last season.
--Sophomore F Richard Solomon, who joined Crabbe at the USA tryout camp, has added some weight and strength and the beginnings of a back-to-the-basket game after working with Markhuri Sanders-Frison, the Bears' recently graduated starting center. "He's getting better at it," coach Mike Montgomery said. "He seemingly understands the value of it. Again, when the game starts, how will that translate?"
--Junior F Bak Bak may not have quite the impact the Bears had hoped for, at least not at the season's outset. He did not travel with the team to Europe after spending weeks in Kenya sorting out a passport issue. "It slowed him down. He should have been lifting all summer -- that was important -- and he was gone. So he came back, he'd lost weight, lost strength," Montgomery said.

This is a Wow Product
Reviewer1438643により May 06, 2013 に掲載
I love the Lemon Verbena scent. Very nice and fragrant. I have tried many Lemon Verbena products and so far this one has come close in scent to L'OCCITANE, a very expensive product I was using previously. The texture is just right. I will definitely purchase again.
Formula has changed! Too watery and dilluted though still smells nice.

One bottle will not last long as compared to the old formula. On the fence whether shall repurchase.

This is one of my favorite scents! It is very moisturizing and I don't need to use lotion like usual after a shower. I like that it doesn't have any sulfates, parabens or mineral oil. I also enjoy having 15 cents go to help educate and provide medical care for children in Africa.

I love the idea of the banner. I had not thought about doing one until the popup for a discounted banner came when I was ordering something else. Everyone at the party LOVED seeing it, and I chose a design that will be good for my daughter's 3rd and 30th Birthday! The banner was the talk of the party! Very good happy accident of even getting it.
Service and delivery comments:
I was a little worried that I had waited too long to get the banner ordered but it came the day that the original order said it was slated to ship! So very pleased with the prompt delivery.
Best Uses
I bought this for my daughter's birthday party which was using My Little Pony decorations. I was worried about the red not matching, but it looked wonderful and helped the banner to stand out since the rest of the decorations were the blue, pink, and purple, the other colors on the banner. I just wish there were more color variations for this banner because my other daughter is having a gymnastics party and those decorations are pastel green and purple.
Best Uses
Nice quality banner

Delivery was quick and well packaged

Nez Perce County Clerk Patty Weeks is now the president of the Idaho Association of Counties. Weeks said that she was honored that her peers voted for her, and that she looks forward to this opportunity to more directly address county issues and bring county governments up to the electronic times.
"I'm excited to be able to mold the education for elected officials," said Weeks. "We're in a new era of technology and to be able to incorporate some more technology into county government and be more efficient, I think that would be a wonderful thing to be part of."
The Idaho Association of Counties is a non-profit, non-partisan service organization that works to improve county government across the state of Idaho. The last Nez Perce County official to serve as president was Clerk Jim Lloyd from 1982 to 1983.

The beautiful and terrifying thing about Chip Kelly is this: Nobody knows whether he will soar or flop in the National Football League.
Nobody. Not Jeffrey Lurie, not Howie Roseman, not even Kelly. Especially not Kelly.
By hiring the latest offensive genius from the college ranks, Lurie has turned his franchise into a laboratory. What we'll all be watching for the next few years will be as much an experiment as a football team.
It could be fantastic and entertaining and lead, finally, to a Super Bowl title.
It just as easily could be a disaster, pure folly on a par with Steve Spurrier in Washington, Bobby Petrino in Atlanta, and Nick Saban in Miami.

Game cards trigger memories, stories in 'Lotería'
In an institutional room in California, the aptly named Luz ("light") tries to make sense of the trauma and tragedy that has befallen her family. She has only a journal, the presumed attention of You, the God or higher power she addresses, and a deck of Lotería cards.
In "Lotería: A Novel," debut novelist Mario Alberto Zambrano makes the cards, used in a Mexican game as the visual counterpart of the numbers in bingo, serve as writing prompts. They're not instruments of divination like tarot cards, but, like the tarot deck, the simple, traditional design of the Lotería cards gives them a touch of the archetypal. (Large images of the cards begin each of his novel's short chapters.) »Read Full Article

The 24 Hours of Le Mans showcases some of the most advanced cars in the world, and this year it will be the venue for the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Mazda MX-5.
Piloting a Mazda Miata MX-5 is one of the best experiences one can have driving an automobile. It's an inexpensive roadster that isn't meant to be brutally fast. It's meant to handle like a dream – and it does. The roadster celebrates its 20th anniversary this year under a modified name, simply the MX-5.
Mazda chose the 24 Hours of Le Mans as the venue to celebrate the anniversary because of the brand's involvement in the sport. Mazda supplies three LMP2 class teams with engines. The celebration also gives MX-5 fans the chance to witness the world famous race live.
Those wishing to attend the event are encouraged to contact their national MX-5 club or visit the Mazda France website. Complete packages are available from just €100 ($139) including a place for the attendees' car, an anniversary shirt, a rally plate, dinner and breakfast, and a campsite at an exclusive Mazda Camp bordering the circuit. Of course you're on your own for booking a flight…
Mazda's 20th anniversary celebration of its cult roadster takes place June 13-14 during the famous French endurance race.

Detailed Quality Measures
Here is a more in depth look at each quality measure, compared to state and national averages. Experts caution that very small differences between hospitals for a given measure are unlikely to correspond to noticeable differences in the real world.
Waiting Time
Average time patients spent in the emergency room before being seen by a doctor.
Time Until Sent Home
Average time patients spent in the emergency room before being sent home.
Time Before Admission
Average time patients spent in the emergency room before being admitted to the hospital.
Data submitted were based on a sample of cases/patients.
Transfer Time
Among patients admitted, additional time they spent waiting before being taken to their room (sometimes referred to as "boarding time.")
Data submitted were based on a sample of cases/patients.
Broken Bone
Average time patients with broken bones had to wait before receiving pain meds.
CT Scan
Percentage of patients who arrived with stroke symptoms and did not receive brain scan results within 45 mins.
Notes: "Average time" refers to the median waiting time (the midpoint of all patients' waiting times). References to "doctor" indicate a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant. CMS reports the CT scan quality measure as the percentage of patients who received a scan within 45 minutes. We have reversed that measure so that all measures follow a "lower is better" pattern.
Data from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, last updated Dec. 17 2014. All data was collected between April. 2013 and March 2014.

Drug Safety:
I have toured the school, met counselors and staff as well as students. This year will be my first year at the school. The community is fantastic.
Drug Safety:
I've seen people participate in drug culture but I can't say too much about it because I don't really participate in it. Prescott College students tend to appreciate good beer. New students can go a little wild but it doesn't seem much different from any other college. There are definitely environments that promote drug usage or promote non-usage. You can situate yourself wherever you feel comfortable. I haven't experienced much peer pressure.
Drug Safety:
There is a really big drinking and smoking scene here, which everyone knows about, but there isn't really pressure to take part, if you don't want to.
Drug Safety:
Prescott is a small school, which makes it a very safe place. Barely anything goes unnoticed there, kids going missing or causing a scene because of their drug use never happens.
Drug Safety:
There's no social pressure to do drugs or drink to socialize.

Today, I found out that my mom is not only reading my mail, but she is also withholding letters from my bank, college, and insurance company. Why? Because "they could be inappropriate" for me to read. I'm 25. FML

Today, my husband of ten years was playing the Sims. I asked him about the house he built. Apparently, it was his dream house, and he recreated himself as a Sim so he could live in it. Then I asked him where the wife was. There was no wife. It was his happy place. FML
