As one veteran sports writer conceded recently, in the battle between gut instinct and algorithms: bet on "team calculator" every time.
From presidential politics to professional sports, sophisticated quantitative analysis is winning over experience and intuition. In business, organizations that have embedded analytics into their operations significantly outperform those who are still kicking the tires, according to a recent joint MIT Sloan Management Review and IBM Institute of Business Value study.
And yet, within many large organizations, the implementation of analytics remains highly uneven. For every organization that is playing "Moneyball," there are more still puzzling over how to get started. The primary obstacle to widespread adoption: a "lack of understanding for how to use analytics to improve the business," according to the Sloan study.
Within IBM, we established an internal analytics practice several years ago. Working with business leaders from across the company, we've deployed analytics projects in areas ranging from sales planning to product development, and from manufacturing to human resources.
As a result, we've made headway in our transformation to a smarter enterprise – and learned some practical lessons. As you build an analytics capability, here are a few principles to bear in mind:
1. Focus on the most important opportunities facing the business today. Driving revenue growth is at the top of IBM's priorities. On this front, we have been creating and deploying new Web-based analytical tools to help our sales teams. Our math experts in IBM Research helped build these models which our reps use to predict purchasing patterns – and our sales managers use to better align sales resources in a specific territory. The tools have contributed to stronger revenue growth since we started our first sales prospecting analytics program six years ago. Initially, we had to persuade our sales leaders to pilot these analytical tools. Now they are coming to us, asking for more. They want to take it to the next level.
2. For each business opportunity, start with the questions, not the data. Begin by understanding your business strategy and financial objectives – target market, customer segments, business model and priorities. Then ask where the implementation and execution gaps are. How effective is the product or service development process? Which sales management processes need improvement? Where is the innovation occurring? From the right set of questions, it's not hard to determine what data needs to be assembled and mined for insight.
3. Press your analytic experts to make their tools consumable. This is a point I stress with my team when we're working with a business unit on an analytics projects. You shouldn't require an advanced degree in mathematics or need to be well-schooled in Monte Carlo Simulation to find value from analytics tools. Web-based tools should be intuitive. With IBM's Internal Business Analytics Cloud, internally called Blue Insight, we're giving IBMers in different functions desktop access to advanced analytics. For example, our finance team can examine cash position forecasts or HR professionals can conduct an on-the-spot skills gap analysis, all from their browsers. The key is to pilot tools with the users so the data analysts are collaborating in a hands-on way with the business analysts who will be using the tools.
4. Use data to find problems before they are problems. IBM currently has more than two dozen analytics projects underway in our integrated supply chain. We're using analytics to reinvent traditional supply chain functions such as parts management. The Quality Early Warning System, for example, uses analytics to detect quality defects faster and earlier before they impact IBM products or clients. Analytics keep getting better, more predictive.
5. My final advice: don't wait for your data to be perfect to get started. You can organize and "cleanse" data incrementally as projects progress. The key is to put a stake in the ground with a commitment that analytics will be woven into your strategy.
Big Data is here to stay – so embrace it, establish a link between your business priorities and your information agenda, then apply analytics to become a smarter enterprise.

My wife and i felt really thankful when Ervin could conclude his web research because of the precious recommendations he got when using the blog. It's not at all simplistic just to always be releasing methods some other people may have been selling. And we all recognize we now have you to give thanks to for that. The main illustrations you have made, the simple web site menu, the friendships you will help to engender – it's got most fantastic, and it's really helping our son and the family reckon that that subject is fun, which is seriously pressing. Thanks for all!

The following time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I do know it was my option to learn, however I really thought youd have one thing attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you would repair when you werent too busy searching for attention.

There are definitely numerous details like that to take into consideration. That may be a great point to bring up. I supply the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing can be working in trustworthy good faith. I don?t know if greatest practices have emerged around things like that, but I am positive that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment�s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

Doug, great article – we had a lot of experience in the Growth Markets where we started with the business problem and enabling execution of IBM's 2015 roadmap.
I think we can also write about two more areas in the future: business Analytics and change management (our adoption challenges eg MAP) and business Analytics and social media – I have been researching this area and interviewed an intern this morning that write a paper on this topic.

Thanks Doug…very insightful. I also like your point of starting with understanding your business problem(s), model, and of course the enabling processes. Sometimes we jump to the details before understanding the larger picture.

Very informative Doug. The "start with the questions, not the data" part very much resonates with me. I think many people don't get that fundamental idea and therefore don't make progress with their analytics as fast as they could.

FLINT, MI – Ginelle Barry stood in the kitchen at 1419 Downey Street and talked about the number of teens who age out of the foster care system.
She said there are 450 kids in Michigan each year who turn 18 and are no longer supported by state's system.
Meanwhile, about a dozen community members were going through the renovated Skills and Housing for Youth. The SHY project is a faith-based yearlong program for men aged 18 to 21-years-old. It is designed to teach them life skills and give employment and educational support.
The men are required to work, seek employment of pursue an education for at least 20 hours per week, Barry said. There also is a required life skills training once a week that includes a bible study.
"The goal at the end of the year is self-sufficiency," Barry said. "We're trying to help them live as independently as possible."
SHY had an open house Monday, Jan. 28, to show the community the home and put the program on area social workers' radars.
"Once the word is out I think there is going to be a need for more," Barry said. "I wanted to do one home well."
Barry and her husband live in Davison and have been foster parents for 24 children in six years and. Through their experience, they were led to create Foster Hope to help serve children and the families that foster them.
Another gap was discovered – those turning 18 had no place to go. Often having no families or job skills, Barry said, the kids often become homeless, addicted to drugs or end up in legal troubles.
Foster Hope started getting calls about kids aging out of the system. Barry would start calling churches in the area to place the teens.
"It was easier said than done," she said. "People don't want a 21-year-old man in their home."
The white, two-story home will feature a resident adviser and has room for six men, Barry said. Residents also will pay rent.
Barry hopes to have the first resident in the home by Feb. 1.
"Six beds is a drop in the puddle," Barry said. "But we want to make sure we can do these six well."
The furnace, appliances, plumbing and electrical work had to be replaced in the home.
Barry said are churches and other organizations provided a majority of the work to get the home ready for its first SHY occupants.
There are plans to open a home for women in the summer,
Barry said.
Nina's Place in Flint currently provides a place for women who have aged out of foster care.
Denny Thybault, his wife and three young daughters were going through the house Monday.
Thybault's three adopted the three daughters that were with him.
"We run with a message of adoption and we promote adoption," Thybault said. "We see the need for our children whether they're 18 or younger."
"A lot of people don't know about the needs of kids in care and they think the only thing they can do is be foster parents," Barry said. "That's simply not true."
Applications are available at ifosterhope.com.

Ambers brings experience to Major NIT
"Mike Ambers takes a lot of good-natured ribbing about his age from his teammates and opponents.I always tell the guys that's the wrong stat they're looking at. There are a lot of other numbers on the field that are more important, he said.The first thing everyone sees, however, is that he recently turned 51 years old.Despite being old enough to be some of his opponents' fathers, Ambers will be behind the plate for Team Snap/Winzer at the USSSA Major National Invitational Tournament this weekend at Celebration Park.Opponents certainly don't look at Ambers as a novelty or an easy out.He's chiseled. It's like somebody took a screwdriver and a hammer and built his body, said teammate Danny Comeaux. And he plays much younger than his age. Through 14 games this summer, Ambers boasted a .805 batting average, 12 home runs and 30 runs batted in.Team Snap/Winzer is based out of California but is comprised of players from throughout the Western United States. Ambers is one of several players from the Houston area.Athletics have always been a part of Ambers' life. He played basketball in high school, baseball at Texas Southern University and tried out for the Houston Oilers and the Kansas City Chiefs.He didn't start playing softball until the early '80s when he was already over 30. In 1985, Ambers caught on with a national-caliber team from Florida. Then in 1988 he joined the Bell Corp team at the Super level. He won most valuable player honors at the Super Major World Series while with Bell Corp.Ambers left the national softball scene in 1996 when he moved to Malaysia, where his wife was transferred by her employer. There he played for the U.S. Embassy team.Upon returning to Houston in 1998, Ambers played with his Team Snap/ Winzer for what he thought would be just one tournament. I found out I was still able to compete with all the young guys even with the long lay-off, Ambers said. Much of his longevity on the diamond can be attributed to his constant workouts. He lifts weights three to five times a week and runs with his wife, Christina, a native of Denmark, who used to run competitive track in Europe.Having a sports background is second nature. (Lifting) is something I do whether I'm in a sport or not, said Ambers, who often gets competitive with Christina on the track. We go out and compete against each other on the track. I was winning. Now she edges me out most of the time.Comeaux's goal is to be as competitive in 20 years as Ambers is now.I'm definitely going to try, said Comeaux, 31. I look up to him being in shape and I respect him for being in the game so long and being able to perform at the level he is.The senior leagues will have to wait for Ambers.I still enjoy playing, but I don't have the fever that I used to have. The fulfillment for me is being able to compete in the middle of the pack. It's not going for the glory, he said. I would like to play one more season at this level to see if I can do it. Physically it should be no problem."

The Wahconah Regional and St. Joseph-Central high school hockey teams shared a bus as they trekked through heavy snow in Berkshire County, which pushed the opening faceoff back about 50 minutes.
Once the puck dropped, however, it was an exciting Western Massachusetts Division IIIA quarterfinal round game between two Hennessey Division rivals.
The end result? A 3-1 win by Wahconah.
Kyle Kasala scored twice, and Luke Alpert was solid in goal, as No. 7 Wahconah of Dalton pulled off the upset against No. 2 St. Joseph-Central of Pittsfield.
The Crusaders (12-5-3) won three of the four regular-season meetings, but the Warriors (13-7-1) won when it mattered most. Luckily, the teams took separate buses back home.
Goaltending was solid on both sides. St. Joe's Andrew Leitch gave up two second-period goals but still made 18 of his 36 saves in the period. Alpert faced the bulk of the load in the first and finished with 20 saves.

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
As another storm bears down on the region, it is a good time to consider if you are prepared.
The National Weather Service says a winter storm will arrive late Tuesday night creating an "extremely hazardous" commute for those on the roads Wednesday morning. The storm is expected to include snow, sleet and freezing rain. Travel will become treacherous and the accumulating snow and ice could bring down power lines.
The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency offers these tips for being prepared:
- Have an emergency supply kit that includes at a minimum a supply of drinking water, nonperishable food, non-electric can opener, first aid kit, radio, flashlight, batteries, extra warm clothing, blankets and extra medication. An emergency kit for your vehicle also is recommended. It should include a flashlight, blankets, maps, jumper cables, water, nonperishable food and a first aid kit.
- Have rock salt, sand and snow shovels ready.
- Make an emergency plan for your family. How will you contact each other? What will you do if your car slides off the road?
- Make sure your home is well insulated and that you have weather stripping around doors and windows. Close off unneeded rooms.
- Cover water pipes with insulation or newspapers and plastic. Allow faucets to drip a little during very cold weather to avoid freezing. Learn how to shut off water valves in case a pipe bursts.
- Use caution when using alternative heating sources. Refuel kerosene heaters outside and keep heaters at least 3 feet away from flammable objects. Maintain ventilation.
- Wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing. Several layers of lightweight clothing will keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Wear gloves (or mittens) and a hat to help prevent loss of body heat.
- Have the phone number of your electricity provider handy. Do not call 911 to report a power outage.
Avoid driving during winter storms but if you must, stay on the main roads as much as possible. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation offers these tips:
• Always wear a seatbelt, and drive at a reduced speed and defensively.
• Turn on your headlights.
• Allow for extra time to get where you are going.
• Keep the gas tank full.
• Maintain at least twice the normal following distance when driving on snow or ice. Rear-end collisions account for most winter crashes.
• Clear snow and ice from windows, mirrors, hood, headlights, taillights and trunk before driving.
• Maintain a distance of at least six car lengths behind a snowplow.
• Do not pass a snowplow because the plow blades are wider than the truck.
• Carpool or use mass transit whenever possible during the winter. Fewer cars on the road make travel safer during a snowstorm and expedites snowplowing operations.
• Use extra care when driving on a bridge or elevated ramp during the winter, because they freeze sooner than roads built on the ground.

-- Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler remains out of the lineup for a second straight game after he suffered bruised ribs when he was hit by a pitch from Justin Verlander on Thursday.
-- Texas right-handed rookie Justin Grimm is riding a three-game losing streak, and has allowed four home runs and nine walks en route to a 7.02 ERA in his last 16 2/3 innings.
-- Miguel Cabrera Cabrera is 4-for-8 with two doubles in the first two of this four-game series. He went 3-for-4 on Friday, giving him a major league-leading 62 hits.
-- Anibal Sanchez is 0-2 with a 7.45 ERA in two career starts against the Rangers. He's 2-2 with a 2.33 ERA and 42 strikeouts in 27 innings over his last four starts.
-- Tigers manager Jim Leyland is one win shy of becoming the 15th manager to reach 1,700. His 1,699 wins are the 15th-most wins in major league history.
-- The weather forecast tonight calls for partly cloudy skies and wind. Temperatures slowly falling to near 82 degrees. Game time temperature of 89 degrees.
Looking for some light reading between now and first pitch? Check out these stories from the past day or so on MLive.com:
-- Jim Leyland on Justin Verlander: 'I'm not really worried about him at all'
-- Analysis: Porcello emerging as unexpected strikeout artist with six Ks
-- Three stars: Miguel Cabrera has three hits, RBI for Detroit Tigers
-- Rick Porcello shuts down Rangers, Jose Valverde picks up save in 2-1 win
-- Tigers want Al Alburquerque to resolve command issues in Toledo
Avisail Garcia will make his second start in center tonight.
It's only the second game he's started since being called up Monday after Austin Jackson went on the 15-day DL.
Manager Jim Leyland told reporters in today's pregame session that he plans to start the 21-year-old rookie in center tomorrow, too.
What's your take on how he's managing the lineup in Jackson's absence? Don Kelly has seen most the action in center, starting five of the past six games with Jackson out.
Would you prefer to see Leyland mostly stick with Kelly in center for the next week until Jackson can return? Or would you like Garcia to get more playing time while he's up?

Cokie Roberts is many things to many people.
Political junkies know her as a commentator for ABC News and a senior news analyst for National Public Radio.
Newspaper readers follow the weekly column she writes with her husband, Steven V. Roberts.
Her family knows her as a wife, a daughter, a mother of two and grandmother of six.
New Orleanians consider her one of the family; we know her mama 'n' 'em, former congresswoman and Vatican ambassador Lindy Boggs, and the late Congressman Hale Boggs. Add to that list the way that readers and booksellers know her: as a best-selling author.
In her 1998 book, "From This Day Forward," an account of her marriage of more than four decades co-authored with her husband, Roberts also examined other marriages in American history. Then Roberts turned to a more in-depth examination of historical figures in "We Are Our Mother's Daughters," a 1999 meditation on women's private and public roles; and 2004's "Founding Mothers: The Women Who Raised Our Nation."
Now, in a companion volume, "Ladies of Liberty: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation," Roberts continues her examination of historical figures who laid the foundation of American life and nationhood during the period of 1797 to 1825, from the inauguration of John Adams to that of his son, John Quincy Adams.
For those of us who couldn't get enough of the HBO miniseries devoted to John Adams, here's a total immersion in the period.
"I wasn't the best person to watch that with," Roberts said, speaking by phone as she traveled from Charlottesville, Va., to Washington, D.C., on her book tour. "I kept jumping up and saying, 'No! That's not right!'¤"
Roberts' primary sources are the letters of the women she writes about, and she knows how to create the rich surround of a woman's life -- from what women were reading and writing, to what they were wearing, what recipes they made, what they were thinking.
Did Roberts ever imagine that she would undertake a life of scholarship?
"Isn't that just appalling?" she laughed. "When I started 'Founding Mothers,' I had no notion of what I was getting myself into. No idea. I thought I'd just do little profiles, but then I was tripping all over myself in the same historical period and went back to tell the story chronologically.
"Then, after that book came out, people I'd been in touch with about papers and journals suddenly understood what I was up to, so that they were more forthcoming. It was like I was writing a dissertation, but I'd like to think about it as a dissertation for the radio -- much more conversational."
Here is a parade of history, a krewe of powerful women and presidents' wives -- Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, Dolley Madison, Elizabeth Monroe, Louisa Adams (who once cracked, "¤'America is doubly blessed in having possessed of generals in petticoats as well as generals in breeches").
Also featured are writers, Susanna Rowson and Mercy Otis Warren, who wrote her own history of the Revolution; educators Rebecca Gratz (a Jewish school founder and the model for the character of Rebecca in Sir Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe"), Elizabeth Bayley Seton (founder of the Sisters of Charity) and the Ursuline nuns of New Orleans; explorer Sacagawea; and feminist Lucretia Coffin Mott.
It takes Roberts more than 400 pages to give the barest bones of their collective accomplishments, a collective portrait of female solidarity.
"I loved the way these women knew how to get things done," Roberts said. "You'd see it when some husbands were gone and the other women were trying to buck up the women who were left behind.
"It reminded me of my mother and her cronies, Lady Bird Johnson and Pauline Gore. They were incredibly supportive of each other. When my mother ran for Congress, Lady Bird said, 'How on Earth are you going to do it without a wife?'¤"
Early educators were also dear to Roberts' heart.
"Sacred Heart and Ursuline are doing my event in New Orleans together," she said. "That's kind of like bringing together the lions and the lambs, but the Ursulines play such an important role in my book."
In other efforts, Roberts said, "I'm a trustee of Save the Children, which I care very deeply about. And one of our main projects is the development of girls' education. One of the things we've learned -- and this is widely accepted by all economists -- is that if you educate girls, you really can turn a society around."
Roberts' next project will be turning "Founding Mothers" and "Ladies of Liberty" into children's books, yet another way of educating young people about history -- and a treat for her own six grandchildren.
New Orleans history looms large in the period covered in the book -- no surprise given that the Crescent City was the seventh largest in the nation at that time. Roberts writes at length about the Louisiana Purchase and the Battle of New Orleans. Louise Livingston is one of the figures who intrigued her; Livingston was the wife of Edward Livingston, the chairman of the defense committee of citizens during the Battle of New Orleans.
Although she admits she "wasn't as well acquainted with the Battle of New Orleans as people who go all the way through school in New Orleans are," it's easy to see Roberts' pride when she writes of Andrew Jackson's decision not to evacuate women and children.
"A prominent Creole, Bernard de Marigny, scoffed at that idea, proudly proclaiming, 'No lady fled from the city. ... That thought never came to the mind of Louisiana ladies.' Instead, he insisted, if the enemy had attacked, 'More than one young lady would have assumed an Amazon costume and taken the lance.'
A New Orleans native, Roberts spent most of her childhood in the nation's capital. Originally she had hoped to find some writings by the women in her family -- her ancestor is William Charles Cole Claiborne, the first governor of Louisiana -- but no female Claiborne writings emerged during her research.
Her favorite character from that time?
"That would have to be Dolley Madison," she said. "She clearly was able to do a tremendous amount through her husband, so that Henry Clay would say of her, 'Everybody loves Mrs. Madison and Mrs. Madison loves everybody.' She reminds me of my mother. That's the reason I've come to like her so much."
And yes, Roberts celebrated Mother's Day with her mother and extended family, "in a New Orleans style restaurant."
"Ladies of Liberty" even includes recipes from the period. Two of the recipes, from Nelly Custis Lewis, are for cures for worms, and "for lumps or swelling in the breasts."
"There was the idea that the mistress of the household was also expected to be a healer of sorts," Roberts says, "so including some of those remedies was illustrative of that."
Several of the women in the book had breast cancer, so this is especially relevant. Roberts is also a breast cancer survivor.
Roberts dedicates her book to her "sister, Barbara Boggs Sigmund, my toughest teacher, who always wanted to write history. And to my sisterhood, my wonderful women friends -- including relatives -- who share my prayers, works, joys and sufferings."
Sisterhood is powerful, no doubt, and women's lives continue to change as a result.
As Roberts writes, "It's almost impossible for me to wrap my mind around the fact that my mother was born before women had the right to vote. And it's almost equally impossible for my daughter, despite her well-internalized indoctrination by her foremothers, to comprehend completely that I had graduated from college before employment discrimination against women was outlawed. And I am confident that my granddaughters will be amazed that their mother was a grown woman before America elected a female president. There are generations of women, and their male champions, to thank for those changes, starting with these ladies of liberty who truly did shape our nation."

Syracuse Crunch fans knew all about rookie goalie Kristers Gudlevskis before Wednesday.
He came up from Florida of the ECHL earlier this year to post an 11-8-2 record, 2.69 goals-against and four shutouts.
The Lightning organization knew all about him, too.
General manager Steve Yzerman was so impressed with the newcomer's debut in the ECHL that he quickly jumped him up to Syracuse to start feasting on AHL minutes.
But for the most part, that was about it. Outside of his native Latvia, Gudlevskis, a fifth-round pick in 2013, wasn't on a lot of hockey radars.
Until now.
Gudlevskis almost pulled off the biggest Olympic hockey upset since 1980's Miracle on Ice when he stopped 55 shots in Latvia's 2-1 loss to Canada. The game was tied deep into the third period until heavy favorite Canada avoided an epic upset on Shea Weber's power-play goal.
Here's a sampling of the instant international awakening to Gudlevskis via Twitter:
Thinking demand for Gudlevskis game worn Crunch jerseys just went through the roof. @SyracuseCrunch @syrhockey— Howard Dolgon (@HowardDolgon) February 19, 2014
Gudlevskis? More like Greatlevskis. #Sochi2014 pic.twitter.com/gPW941SBwT— Tampa Bay Lightning (@TBLightning) February 19, 2014

Congratulations to @SyracuseCrunch goalie Kristers Gudlevskis on a heroic effort for Latvia today #Sochi2014 pic.twitter.com/LUqwlGpEZ7— AHL (@TheAHL) February 19, 2014
Soon all the world will know the name Kristers Gudlevskis. But they won't be able to spell it, because, you know.— Harrison Mooney (@HarrisonMooney) February 19, 2014
Gudlevskis said the game was "exciting. I tried to leave all my strength (out there)."— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) February 19, 2014
Whatever you drink in Latvia, someone buy Gudlevskis a double.— Ryan Kennedy (@THNRyanKennedy) February 19, 2014
Canada vs. Latvia. 2:1 is the score. Canada may have won the game, but Gudlevskis won our hearts! pic.twitter.com/uKva0vVAuG— Earth Pics (@EarthsPic) February 19, 2014
Gudlevskis shouldn't have to buy a drink in Latvia (or Canada) for the rest of his life.— ⬇⬇ (@amirtedros) February 19, 2014
Kristers Gudlevskis. Wow. My mask is off to you, sir. A goaltending performance to go down in Hockey Lore. #Sochi2014— Craig Temple (@MrTemple) February 19, 2014
Pretty sure Tampa Bay is pretty happy with that 5th round pick! #gudlevskis— Ryan Nelson (@rynox) February 19, 2014

Sanford-Fritch had some lean years in the past, but 1999 promises to be the continuation of a strong run for the Eagles.
The Eagles lost two superior football players to graduation but return the bulk of the line and defense which powered Sanford-Fritch to a 9-2 record and a bi-district playoff appearance for the first time since 1990.
"We hope to continue what we've started," Sanford-Fritch coach Rick Ware said. "We hate to think that was a one-year thing."
Sanford-Fritch made a 180-degree turnaround from 1997 last season when the Eagles improved from 1-9 to 9-1 in the regular season. S-F lost only to Perryton in the mud and a playoff thriller to Muleshoe. The Eagles also won another thrilling game at River Road for a share of the 1-3A crown.
But Sanford-Fritch lost three solid starters, including the heart and soul of the offense, tailback T.J. Clark, and the heart and soul of the defense, Justin Holland. Clark gained more than 1,500 yards and scored 24 touchdowns last season.
"We need to find some running backs," Ware said. "You never replace a runner like Clark, and Holland was also a really good blocking back. But we've got some people we want to use. We'll be a lot more balanced than last year."
S-F returns one varsity running back, Jeremy Tate, but some others from the 7-2 junior varsity will likely make an impact.
"We've got to find a couple of kids at running back, whether that is two individuals or rotate four or five," Ware said. "We're not going to have the one individual like last year."
Fortunately, the Eagles bring back four of the six starting offensive linemen from last year - Matt Keifer, Logan Bidwell, Matt Rodgers and Dan Graves.
"That should be the strength of our offense," Ware said. "We should be stronger and more experienced than we were last year. But we don't have as much depth."
Shiloh Reed, who split time at quarterback in 1998, will get the job all to himself this season.
The Eagles should really fly high on defense with seven returning starters. However, the loss of Holland removed the leader of the squad.
Kelly Henderson and Jeremy Tate return at defensive end along with tackle Tyson Shapley. Bidwell split time at defensive tackle and is also back.
Dan Graves is the only returnee at linebacker, and Reed and Heath Simpson come back in the secondary.

Not only is it functional for off-road use, it looks stylish too!
This bumper's mounting structure is made from CNC cut, brake formed 3/16" thick steel plate that is MIG welded in a fixture with 1/8" outer shell. They are manufactured to strict specifications - within 1/2 degree to ensure proper fitment. We also include two hefty recovery points and frame support brackets.
Optional light bar configurations can be added as well with a center hoop, headlight hoops, or full APex hoops. These hoops are made from 1.75" x .120 wall tubing. Other options include 4" fog light mounts (see APex series below) 3-stage powdercoating, an aluminum fairlead, synthetic winch rope, d-ring shackles, lights, and winch. This bumper will accomodate up to a 9500-lb winch, like the Warn 9.5XP with remote solenoid (other winches of similar dimension and bolt pattern may fit with some slight modification).
It is easy to install using the included hardware and instructions. PLEASE NOTE: Supercharged FJ Cruisers require modification to install the bumper. On 2010+ models, the windshield washer fluid bottle will be exposed due to its low location from the factory. We recommend installing a '07-09 bottle in the engine compartment or simply painting your bottle black to help conceal it.

Although it looks like all his touring with both projects isn't going to stop anytime soon Jones has decided to drop a new gem as It is rain in my face. to remind us all why his solo outfit is an absolute force. Jones has always done a good job using his ghostly falsetto to ascent his ambient tunes, however, with 'Duck In A Row' Jones steps up his vocal delivery with an amazing performance. Turns out he can do a lot more than just falsetto as the mid-section of this track has Jones channeling a rock star persona. Nearly everything else It is rain in my face. has put out is eclipsed when his suddenly throaty vocals and the guitar solo erupt from the clanging electronics and cloudy atmosphere.

Sryacuse-area Hispanic high school students attended a mock state assembly session in Albany last month as part of the annual Puerto Rican Hispanic Youth Leadership Institute. Cazenovia senior Alexander Henkel was selected to serve as speaker of the house and to lead the mock assembly session
• What did other members of the Syracuse delegation get out of the weekend? We asked three for their thoughts.
• Henkel was almost too distraught to take the gavel. Not long before his big moment in the Assembly chambers, he learned that his friend, Julia Parker, had been killed in a fire. The communications class at Cazenovia Junior-Senior High School is holding a concert to benefit Parker's family from 8 to 11 p.m. Saturday.
There's more teen-related news and opinion elsewhere in The Post-Standard:
• What happens on the other side of the world can affect us here in Central New York. Fayetteville-Manlius junior Yaoshihui Wang, an exchange student from China, is using Facebook and this essay to encourage her friends to get involved in the relief effort. It was published in Sunday's Post-Standard.
• Nottingham High School senior Veronica Claire, who is battling a rare and agressive form of cancer, got an early graduation ceremony last week thanks to those who care about her. Columnist Sean Kirst tells the story, which appeared in Monday's Post-Standard. For more on Veronica and her illness, visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/veronicaclaire1.
• Nominations are in and anticipation is building for the 2008 Teens of Achievement. Winners will be announced in June.
• Newsweek has released its list of the top 5 percent of high schools in the country. Nine local schools are on the list. Is yours?

What industry used to look like in Toronto
A dominant motif in our series of historical Toronto posts is the slow erosion of industrial architecture from the cityscape. We've tracked this process in places like Liberty Village and on streets such as King West, Queen's Quay and Dupont. Despite the dwindling evidence, most of us know intuitively that Toronto was once a bustling industrial city, complete with thick smog that hung above the core on humid days. Not only did smokestacks dot the landscape, but much of the city's economy could be traced back to industrial and manufacturing pursuits.
At the turn of the century, agricultural implement manufacturer Massey Manufacturing Co. (later Massey Harris and then Massey Ferguson) was the largest employer in the city. Its factories sprawled along King West from Strachan Avenue to near Dufferin Street. Further west and slightly north, the mighty John Abell Engine and Machine Works took up much of what is now the condo-heavy West Queen West Triangle. During the war effort, hubs like the Gooderham & Worts Distillery and the John Inglis plant were repurposed to build bombs and guns, respectively.
The city's industrial character wasn't limited to just downtown areas, either. Those driving along Laird Avenue in Leaside should still be able to spot the humble remains of what was once a well-established industrial area. Similarly, an area like Mount Dennis was once absolutely bustling on account of all the factories it once housed, the last remains of which can now be seen in the abandoned Building 9 at the former Kodak plant.
As I've mentioned in past articles, there's not much point lamenting the loss of this particular brand of industry in Toronto. Heavy manufacturing went global long ago, and cities like Toronto are now sustained by other economic stimulators — be they of informational or sheerly financial character. What is, however, regrettable, is that we have so little connection with this crucial bit of our past.

The Lansdowne/Royce photo is now Lansdowne north of Dupont:
On this note, this series is surpringly lacking photos of the industry of The Junction, which was quite impressive. There are photos of the Stock Yards and meatpacking district in the Toronto Archives' online database which can be found by searching local intersections like Keele and St. Clair, and on Old Time Trains. The Stock Yards was one of the most industrialized parts of the city. In the end, the more we see this side of our heritage, the better. It's still possible to preserve many interesting buildings to keep this interesting history on the consciousness of the city. Unfortunately, the Stock Yards were pretty much been wiped to a blank slate in the 1990s for a crude and generic big-box redevelopment scheme. Even a rare railway roundhouse and locomotive shops dating back to the 19th and early 20th century were demolished.
I do not pine for the past very often, bit when i look at retail today, *sigh*
i wonder what's the purpose of the big ass pipes in the first photo.
Redpath remains because they put water purer than was put in.
IF we have to "eat cake" let it be a great waterfront.

A petition seeking to give Alaska back to Russia is gaining steam on the White House's petition website, petitions.whitehouse.gov.
The petition is strangely worded and full of grammar problems, but that hasn't stopped it from getting more than 28,000 signatures since it was created on March 21.
Titled "Alaska back to Russia." it reads:
"Groups Siberian russians crossed the Isthmus (now the Bering Strait) 16-10 thousand years ago.
"Russian began to settle on the Arctic coast, Aleuts inhabited the Aleutian Archipelago.
"First visited Alaska August 21, 1732, members of the team boat "St. Gabriel »under the surveyor Gvozdev and assistant navigator I. Fedorov during the expedition Shestakov and DI Pavlutski 1729-1735 years
"Vote for secession of Alaska from the United States and joining Russia"
The creator of the petition is known only as "S. V." of Anchorage, Alaska.
The White House will issue an official response to a petition on the site if it reaches 100,000 signatures in 30 days, Fox News reported.
This petition has until April 20 to get another 70,000 signatures.
Alaska was purchased from Russia for $7.2 million in 1867 by Secretary of State William Seward. At the time, the purchase was sometimes referred to as "Seward's Folly."
In 2012, a similar petition for Texas to secede from the United States got enough signatures to merit a response, plus a few thousand more.
A White House official wrote this statement:
"Our founding fathers established the Constitution of the United States 'in order to form a more perfect union' through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of self-government. They enshrined in that document the right to change our national government through the power of the ballot -- a right that generations of Americans have fought to secure for all. But they did not provide a right to walk away from it."

It doesn't seem fair. New Jersey is storm weary. Those without power are dealing with freezing nights. Even those with power are still trying to recover — be it cleaning up their homes, helping neighbors out, commuting to work, or mapping a strategy to purchase gasoline.
And now a nor'easter is predicted to hit New Jersey on Wednesday, bringing with it a second wallop to an already battered state.
Beginning Wednesday afternoon and continuing through Thursday, wind gusts could approach 55 mph. If you are celebrating the return of electricity, brace yourselves — you could lose it again. And those who remain without power might have to wait even longer, said Ralph LaRossa, the president of Public Service Electric & Gas today.
"The fact is that we do expect to see some additional rain and wind starting Wednesday afternoon," said LaRossa. "That will create two challenges for us. One is the obvious challenge of the safety of our employees...being up in a bucket truck with high winds and rain coming down is not something that will create the greatest productivity... (also) many of the temporary repairs to the system will be challenged as the wind speeds pick up."
LaRossa said workers will need to stop repairs and take shelter if winds get over 40 miles per hour.
The new storm could bring down tree limbs that are hanging by a thread after Sandy, LaRossa said.
In some cases the company made temporary improvised fixes tied up using yellow rope.
"The pressure is on to get power back as quickly as possible, so when somebody has the opportunity to make a temporary repair to get 1,000 customers back instead of spending 10 hours doing a permanent repair, there's no question we make the temporary repair," LaRossa said.
Substations are also more vulnerable than before the storm because in many cases, a single line has been restored at each substation.
The one good thing about the Nor'easter forecast, according to LaRossa: there shouldn't be any flooding or storm surge from the two to three inches of rain forecast.
The storm is only expected to drop 1 to 2 inches of rain and won't turn inland the way Sandy did. That's good news for western New Jersey as it means there is little chance for flooding. But along the shore – the area hardest hit last week – this nor'easter could cause further damage.
"Something certainly worthy of careful attention and concern," State Climatologist David Robinson wrote in an email. "This would be a nasty storm even without Sandy having given the coast and inland trees a pounding. The one positive, as it was with Sandy, is it looks like the rainfall won't be enough to bring streams out of their banks in central and northern (New Jersey)."
In the winter months, weather patterns are typically more conducive for producing coastal storms, like nor'easters, which form off the east coast and can push water into the beach, not unlike storm surge in a hurricane.
"There's at least a dozen things on the list of emergency recovery efforts that officials have to worry about right now, but they may want to consider making this a priority," said Alex Sosnowski, a senior meteorologist at Accuweather. "Just get some kind of buffer there. Even with a moderate storm, it may not be as severe as Sandy, but it might thwart recovery efforts."
In addition to physically keeping the water out of coastal towns, dunes help break up waves as they travel inland during storm tides. If waves have a clear path into some already damaged communities, they could exacerbate what damage already exists and destroy structures that might have otherwise survived, Szatkowski said.
"You might have a home that has only minor damage, which ordinarily might not be too much of a big deal," he said. "But there may not be a dune around anymore so that water can get in. It could just take a little bit more to turn minor damage into moderate or major damage."
While the imminent threat isn't ideal, Qizhong Guo, a professor in Rutgers University's civil engineering department, said long-term, Sandy creates an opportunity. As towns up and down the coast rebuild, they will have the ability to build stronger and larger protection systems that could shelter their communities during the next major storm.
"I think it's a great opportunity. We need to be planning for something worse than this," Guo said. "I think this may create a lasting memory that will hopefully have an impact when we think about how to rebuild."

Searching for some pitching depth for a possible postseason run will be the top priority when South Alabama plays its final non-conference game of the regular season against Southern Miss today at 6 p.m. at Stanky Field.
If the Jaguars (23-26) qualify for next week's Sun Belt tournament, they will need additional arms. Mid-week starter Chris LaGrow is out with elbow problems, joining Dustin Crenshaw and Michael Logan, who have been lost for the season with arm injuries.
"We're thinking about starting Ryan Bohanan if he can go," said South Alabama coach Steve Kittrell. "We'd like to get Bohanan two or three innings of work so he could help us next week if we get to the tournament.
"He did a good job in the start against Nicholls State (April 22) and we sure could use him now that LaGrow is out. After that, we'll probably mix and match guys for three outs."
Bohanan (1-1, 5.79 ERA) has thrown 4 innings this year, giving up five hits and three earned runs. The starting first baseman just returned to the lineup over the weekend after missing five games with a back strain.
"I think his back bothered him a little bit, but he was close to full strength," said Kittrell. "If he doesn't think he can throw when he's warming up in the bullpen, then we'll go with somebody else. We've got to find out if he can pitch because we're going to need him if we get to the tournament."
South Alabama enters tonight's contest 5-5 in its last 10 games. USA is hitting .326 as a team with three players batting above .370. Adam Heisler leads the club at .399, followed by David Doss at .392 and Derek O'Reilly at .363.
Southern Miss (28-19) has struggled the last two weeks as well, going 4-6 in the last 10 games. The Golden Eagles dropped two games in the weekend series against Memphis and are hitting .312 as a team.
Bo Davis leads USM in hitting with a .381 average. Kameron Brunty is batting .346 and Taylor Walker .335. USM's best hitter, shortstop Brian Dozier (.394), is out for the season with a shoulder injury.
Southern Miss beat South Alabama 12-0 when the teams met in Hattiesburg back on Feb. 25.

International film star and renowned conservationist Edward Norton filmed two public service announcements on the illegal ivory trade in New York City yesterday. The messages will be part of the "Say No To Ivory" campaign launched earlier this year by WildAid and Save the Elephants.
WildAid and the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) are launching their "Say No to Rhino Horn" campaign in Vietnam and China with graphic footage. The public service message, titled "The Sickening Truth," is currently being shared online only and carries a warning since it contains explicit video of a rhino that was left for dead after her horn and a large portion of her face were brutally hacked off.
From Peter Knights:
I received an email this morning from a friend, conservationist, and photographer, Alex Hofford of MyOcean, telling me that another airline announced it would no longer carry shark fins as cargo! Alex is based in Hong Kong, the shark fin capital of the world and has been busily getting the word out about disrupting the shark fin supply chain; experiencing quite a few successes this year.

From the fallout of Night of Champions, the big twist is obviously the firing of both The Miz and R-Truth.
Clearly, it's a con, simply because The Miz and R-Truth are two of the three most relevant superstars on Raw, the other arguably being CM Punk.
Relevant to the new wave of superstars, they're slowly (maybe too slowly) being pushed in the main event scene.
The fact that they attempted to cost Triple H his position is interesting enough.
However, there is perhaps a higher power involved, in the form of John Laurinaitis, executive head of talent relations or whatever.
We've witnessed Laurinaitis communicate quite blatantly with Kevin Nash, CM Punk and it seems that there is some link between him and Awesome Truth.
Therefore, in the build-up to Survivor Series, I personally see a Triple H team vs. a John Laurinaitis team.
Whether the COO position is up for grabs is yet to be determined, but there seems to be development of the Triple H/COO angle.
What interests me is all of the side stories, and whether any of them will play a part in choosing sides.
So, for five-a-side, here's my picks.

NWAC Winds up season
The North Whidbey Aquatic Club recently had its best ever Pacific Northwest Championships finish, earning 11th place, 445 points and the honor of the highest-placing team in Northwestern Washington.
NWAC was led by 12-year-old Price Hu, state champion in the 200 butterfly, and medalist (top eight) in four other swims.
Other medal winners included 14-year-old John Hu (200 im, 200 fly, 1000 back), 12-year-old Yale Rosen (50 back, 100 breast, 200 breast, 50 breast, and 200 im), 12-year-old Devin Schell (200 free), 12-year-old Tyler Schell (200 breast), 16-year-old Evan Wilson (1500 free, 200 im, 200 breast, and 400 im), and 11-year-old Ciara Hu (200 fly).
Other Aquajets scoring individual points included Abby Leete, Marissa McDaniel, Cameron Spence, Amanda Streubel, and Kerianne Wright. Scoring relay points were the boys 15-and-older 200 medley relay team of Spence, Wolfe Styke, Spencer Livermore, and Wilson; and the boys 11-12 200 free and medley relay teams of Rosen, Hu, Schell, and Schell, in team record times of 2:14.68 and 2:28.65, respectively.
The Aquajets crushed a total of 13 individual team records including those by Yale Rosen (50 and 100 back, 200 breast, and 200 im), Price Hu (100 and 200 fly, and 200 im), Devin Schell (200 free), John Hu (100 back), Marissa McDaniel (girls 15-and-older 400 im), and Evan Wilson (800 free, 200 breast, and 400 im).
Other notable NWAC performances included Marissa McDaniels leadoff leg of the girls 15-and-older 200 freestyle relay, in which she swam 28.89, dropping over a second and qualifying for next Marchs Western Region Senior Sectional Meet to be held in Phoenix, Arizona. Adding two more qualifying times to the same meet was Evan Wilson in the 1500 free and 400 im. As a team, NWAC swam over 90 percent lifetime bests in both individual and relay events.
The Aquajets finished their summer swim season last weekend, placing fourth in the North Cascade Summer Swim League Championship meet in Anacortes. The meet was won by Storm Aquatics of Lake Stevens.
Monica Olloren, 10, and Nick Streubel, 9, led the way for NWAC, winning all three of their individual events and swimming on the victorious 10-and-under medley and freestyle relays. Other top three placers for the Aquajets included Karina Concepcion, Ryan Cuajunco, Lily Doyle, Dianne Hossfeld, Jacob Jepsen, John Kaltenbach, Makenzi Schulle, and Ryan Thurgood.
Competing with Olloren and Streubel on the winning 10-and-under relays were John Kaltenbach, Schulle (medley), and Concepcion (free). NWACs 8-and-under relays also medaled with the medley team of Cuajunco, Lindsey Thurgood, Tricia Desquitado, and Chloe Lind notching second place and the free team of Cuajunco, Bridger Karlik, Desquitado, and Irysh Concepcion taking third.
NWAC also had several athletes competing in the Whidbey Island triathlon in Langley.
NWAC athletes were the first three males (Evan Wilson, Cameron Spence, and Jason Hunter) and first female (Marissa McDaniel) to exit the 1/2-mile swim in Lone Lake.
Wilson was NWACs top finisher overall, placing first in the 19-and-under male division with a time of 1:42.32. Spence (1:46:07) and Hunter (1:53.25) rounded out the top three in that division.
NWACs Carolyn Vasquez, the youngest competitor in the 300-athlete field at 13, placed third in the female 19-and-under division (2:14.20) while riding a moun

The Kutztown and Albright football teams are preparing for tough tests within each of their respective conferences this weekend.
The Golden Bears (1-3, 1-6) will host regional rival East Stroudsburg on Saturday afternoon. It is also Homecoming weekend at Kutztown, so the team wants to get on the board early in order to get crowd into the game right away.
Kutztown is coming off a 25-point loss at Shippensburg last week.
Albright (3-2, 4-2) will head on the road for a huge showdown with first-place Lycoming on Saturday. Out of their final four games, the Lions will face three of top teams in the MAC.
Albright hasn't defeated the Warriors since 2009, but they feel prepared heading into this one. The team has been studying film from their last few meetings and knows that this game will be decided by turnovers, possession and field position.
The Lions are coming off a 30-12 victory over Wilkes last Saturday.

CHESTERFIELD – The man suspected of stabbing a man in his garage Tuesday remains at large as police continue to investigate the incident.
The victim was stabbed in his abdomen around 8:30 a.m. when he was confronted by an alleged burglar in his garage on the 100 block of Galestown Circle, police said. He had just dropped off his children at a bus stop.
The suspect, described as a white or Hispanic male, about 5-foot-10, 160 pounds with a beard, ran off on foot after the attack and has yet to be located. He was last seen wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt.
Police are processing evidence from the scene, submitting it to the State Police forensic lab for analysis and sorting through all of the information gathered from the victim, witnesses and residents, according to a statement posted on the police department's website.
Police are working with other local, county and state law enforcement officials to determine the suspect's identity and any other intelligence that is relevant to the case.
A composite sketch of the suspect is expected to be released Thursday, Chief Kyle Watson said.
Leigh Byron, superintendent of Chesterfield Elementary School, said there is heightened awareness at the school, but it's an otherwise normal school day.
Tuesday, almost half of the 700 students who walk to school were picked up by family members, while the rest rode home on buses escorted by police and public works officials.
"Parents have always had the option to come pick up their children," Byron said. "We're not enforcing the same conditions as yesterday. … It's up to the parents."

"Frozen" gets a spoofy new trailer. A Hollywood voiceover legend dies. And "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" lines up a shoot in South Korea. All those stories and more are in today's Evening Edition, a survey of noteworthy Hollywood headlines.
Screen Junkies (via Moviefone): "Even if you love 'Frozen' you'll think this is hilarious." Disney's Oscar-winning crowd-pleaser gets the "Honest Movie Trailer" treatment from the cutups at Screen Junkies. And with jokes like, "From the studio that finally learned how to make Pixar movies ... comes the feature-length music video for 'Let it Go,'" the above Moviefone headline kind of nails it. Watch it in the embedded video below, then keep scrolling down for more of the day's Hollywood news.
New York Times: Voiceover master Hal Douglas dies at 89. His "gravelly baritone" was the voice behind thousands of movie trailers, a skill that kept him working steadily up until just two years ago. "I'm not outstanding in any way," he told The New York Times in 2009. "It's a craft that you learn, like making a good pair of shoes. And I just consider myself a good shoemaker." The cause of death, according to his daughter, was complications from pancreatic cancer.
AP (via NOLA.com): "'Veronica Mars' Kickstarter legacy is cloudy." A year after director Rob Thomas turned to fans to fund his "Veronica Mars" film via Kickstarter, it lands in theaters today (March 14). Fittingly, the AP tries to divine what the film's legacy will ultimately be. The short answer: It's a little too early to tell. The film "may have introduced a democratic spirit to a green-lighting process usually controlled by film executives," the AP's Jake Coyle writers, "but it has also opened a Pandora's box where, critics say, established insiders can take advantage of their loyal followings."
Deadline: Sony to flip the script for "Smurfs 3." After "Smurfs 2" failed to live up to the box-office expectations set by its predecessor, Sony is reportedly going back to the drawing board for its next Smurfs film. The new take will be an all-animation origins story that will stick more closely to the original work of Smurfs creator Peyo, with "Shrek 2" and "Gnomeo and Juliet" helmer Kelly Asbury writing the screenplay, according to Deadline. The new "Smurfs" film -- official title unknown -- is targeting a August 2015 release.
Hollywood Reporter: Marvel finalizes "Avengers 2" shoot in Seoul. The studio is reportedly expected to sign a deal in coming days with the government of South Korean to shoot part of "Avengers: Age of Ultron" there between March 20 and April 12. Among the places it will shoot: South Korea's Gangnam District, popularized in the Psy song "Gangnam Style." "We believe the film will contribute to the growth of local tourism and revamp the national image, so the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency fully supports the filming of 'Avengers' here," a spokesperson for police agency said, as quoted by THR. "We will do our best to manage the traffic according to the venue and time, so we can minimize possible discomfort for local citizens."
Nola.com: "Star Wars" casting shortlist zeroes in on five actors for hero role. I blogged this video report earlier today, but here it is again -- at right -- in case you missed it.
Deadline: "Something Wicked This Way Comes" -- again. Disney has reportedly signed "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" writer Seth Grahame-Smith to helm a remake of the classic Ray Bradbury novel, which Disney previously adapted for the big screen in 1983. Grahame-Smith will write a treatment of the story -- about the head of a supernatural carnival who preys on the souls of small-town residents -- which he said has long been a favorite of his. What's more, his take will reportedly be more true to the Bradbury novel. "I have been so crazy about this book, and it was such a formative title in my life that I actually wrote a piece on NPR about why it is so important for young males to read," Grahame-Smith was quoted by Deadline as saying. "It is a classic coming-of-age, father-son story about the transition from childhood to adulthood and how kids can't wait to be adults and adults romanticize their childhoods. I'm not remaking the movie; I want the haunted atmosphere that makes the book so chilling, and I want to reinstate some of the classic scenes from the book that were missing from the '83 film."

LSU pitcher Ryan Eades is leading the Cape Cod League in earned-run average.
Tulane outfielder Brandon Boudreaux is a Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League All-Star.
They're among several Tigers and Green Wave players developing their skills in college summer leagues across the country.
Eades, a Northshore High graduate, was 3-0 with a 0.68 earned-run average in 26 1/3 innings in five starts for the Bourne Braves in the Cape Cod League, probably the most recognized summer league. He said he is focusing on keeping the ball down, changing speeds and keeping hitters off-balance.
"I think this summer will help me next season at LSU,'' he said.
Players in the Cape Cod League and Cal Ripken League swing wooden bats.
"Actually, the wood bats might be good for me,'' Eades said. "The last time I pitched, I pitched inside quite a bit. It might help me next fall and spring hitting my spots.''
In 27 games, Boudreaux, an outfielder for the Baltimore Redbirds, stood 11th in the Cal Ripken League in batting at .329, with five RBIs and seven doubles.
Boudreaux, a St. Paul's graduate, said when he first played summer ball last year in the New England league, he wasn't familiar with many of the small schools from which the players came. He quickly realized that talented players can come from small schools.
"No matter where these guys are coming from, they're all great baseball players,'' Boudreaux said. "There's tons of players from small schools -- Division III, junior college. You'd be surprised how good the competition is.''
He said he likes using a wooden bat. "I got used to it last summer,'' he said. "I really like it better than the new metal bats. It feels better in your hand when you're swinging it.''
LSU's Mason Katz, playing mainly first base and some outfield for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox in the Cape Cod League, is batting .267 with two homers, 14 runs scored and 14 RBIs through 25 games.
"The competition is great,'' said Katz, a Jesuit graduate. "Mostly every pitcher you see is a weekend pitcher from college baseball.''
Katz said he hasn't faced Eades this summer.
"To be honest, I hope I don't,'' Katz said. "He's having a great season. He's going to be a big part of our team next year.''
LSU's Tyler Hanover is an infielder with Yarmout-Dennis. In 19 games, he is batting .246 with nine runs scored and seven RBIs.
Other LSU players in the Cape Cod League are first baseman Jamie Bruno, batting .152 in 13 games for Brewster; infielder JaCoby Jones, batting .234 in 14 games for Harwich; infielder Austin Nola, batting .167 in 22 games for Harwich; and catcher Ty Ross, batting .204 in 12 games for Wareham.
Tulane players in the Cape Cod League are shortstop Garrett Cannizaro, batting .167 in 21 games for Bourne, and catcher/outfielder Blake Crohan, batting .152 in 14 games for Bourne.
Outfielder Frank Florio, batting .250 with three homers, 13 runs and 12 RBIs, is Boudreaux's teammate with Baltimore. Another Cal Ripken League player from Tulane is second baseman Brennan Middleton, batting .274 with 11 runs and 10 RBIs in 25 games for Bethesda.
LSU players in the Northwoods League include infielder/outfielder Alex Edward (.277, two homers, 11 RBIs in 26 games, Wisconsin) and outfielder Trey Watkins (.140, 16 games, Madison). LSU pitcher/catcher Samuel Peterson is batting .231 in six games for Staunton in the Valley Baseball League and was 0-2 with a 4.05 ERA on the mound.
Other LSU summer-league players are catcher Jackson Slaid (.309, one homer, 14 RBIs for Danville, Prospect League), pitcher Rick Rumbelow (3-3, 3.28 ERA in six starts, Danville), utilityman Grant Dozier (.227, 18 games, Acadiana, Texas Collegiate League), infielder Kirk Cunningham (.162, 28 games, Cowlitz, West Coast League), infielder Beau Didier (.280, one homer, 16 RBIs, 27 games, Cowlitz), pitcher Kevin Berry (0-0, 1.86 ERA, 11 strikeouts, two walks, 9 2-3 innings, Cowlitz), infielder Mike Lowery (2-for-5 in one game for Silver Spring/Takoma in the Cal Ripken League), pitcher Jimmy Dykstra (1-2, 4.19 ERA, four games, Amsterdam, New York Collegiate Baseball League) and pitcher Forrest Garrett (seven scoreless innings, two games, Brookhaven, Sunbelt Baseball League. Also, LSU pitcher Kevin Gausman went 0-0 with a 2.08 ERA in two appearances, spanning 8 2/3 innings, this summer for USA Baseball.
Other Green Wave players in summer leagues are pitcher Alex Facundus (0-2, 3.26 ERA, one save, eight games, three starts, 19 1/3 innings, 20 strikeouts, Moorehead City, Coastal Plains League) and outfielder Andrew Garner (.375, 13 runs scored, three homers, 17 RBIs, 18 games, Danbury, New England Collegiate Baseball League).

Samsung Galaxy Nexus for Verizon reportedly in stock at one retailer by December 9
We're still waiting, Verizon. Not that most people are distracted by the large Thanksgiving holiday that is just a few hours away (more or less), people are still waiting for something official about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Yeah, we know it's coming to the Big Red carrier, but we still don't have any idea when. Except that it got "delayed" until December.
Well, here's another bit of information we can add to the growing pile. It still helps that December launch date, but it pushes the 8th into question. Or maybe it doesn't. Based on a tweet sent out from @NegriElectronic, or Negri Electronics, it looks like the Galaxy Nexus for Verizon will be in stock by the 9th of December. Now, this is a major retailer that's accustomed to getting phones to sell, so if they are hearing from their contacts it will be December 9th, we have no reason not to believe them.
Of course, that could very well mean that Verizon is getting ready to launch the device in stores on the 8th. Or the 9th. The 9th is a Friday, after all. We'll just have to keep waiting, won't we?
