QB Weyman: The recruiting discovery of the year
By Max Emfinger, special for USATODAY.com
Today, in order to play quarterback in a major college
program, signal-callers must meet coaches' demands for more than proven athletic
That just gets you in the door.
It's almost like the NFL Draft. The major colleges demand
that a prospect be top-quality from every aspect from tip to toe. In every such
category available, Brett Weyman excels.
He has the complete package of talent with all of the other
intangibles all of the extras that the top college programs expect from
their quarterback. This is what makes Weyman ahead of most of the rest.
Every year, for 25 years, I have tried to pick these winners.
My job has always been to try to recognize the top high school talent after
the players' junior season. Trying to predict who will become highly successful
at the college level and then into the pros is not an exact science, but I have
always tried to use exact practices.
My No. 1 player might be someone else's No. 5 player or
No. 55 player and we seldom agree. That is why it is very gratifying for me
when I am able to find a player, and then, other national recruiting analysts
agree with me on that player and his ability.
Earlier this spring, I was sent a highlight film for a
player at a prep school in Connecticut. I had so many game tapes in my office
that it took me awhile to sit down and finally watch that film. When I finally
got a chance to watch the tape, I was shocked at this kid and his overall ability.
This kid Weyman really reminded me of a lot of different
quarterbacks that I had seen in the past, but the one quarterback that I compared
him to was a former Denver Broncos quarterback by the name of John Elway.
Weyman, (6-3, 225 pounds, 4.53 seconds in the 40-yard
dash) of Avon Old Farms School in Avon, Conn. is definitely the best high school
quarterback in the East this year. By all of my standards, he has the overwhelming
qualities that are necessary at the next level. For this reason, he has earned
my ranking as one of the top quarterbacks in the country.
With all of these many qualities, Weyman could easily be
ranked as the No. 1 quarterback. However, since he's new on the scene at quarterback,
I feel that other field generals such as Kyle Wright have logged quality
and valuable playing time over the last few years, and Wright justly deserves
the No. 1 quarterback tag.
Ironically, Matt Flynn (6-3, 218, 4.54) of Tyler
Lee, Texas is still another quarterback that I initially found and is also now
being given a top-five or -six quarterback ranking.
But this is "The Incredible Journey" about Weyman, who
three months ago was relatively unknown until I discovered him on that highlight
film. Now everyone who has seen him is in full agreement with me and they all
feel that he deserves to be ranked among the nation's best quarterback prospects.
I have evaluated most every top quarterback prospect in
this recruiting class and Weyman has the greatest number of qualities necessary
for success. In my opinion, he has great physical athletic skills, a tremendous
throwing motion, a John Elway-type quick release, great character, and
the brain power to handle any complex situation in this sport. He also has an
unique work ethic, second to none in America.
He represents a new breed of player who was professionally
trained to become a top prospect. He has spent two years working five hours
a day with professionals, training for every aspect of his quarterback position.
This includes 4:30 a.m. wake-up calls for two miles of walking lunges, on Saturdays.
As a result, Weyman has built himself into a top prospect who may have the greatest
upside in his class. The really scary thing is that he is getting better every
As a former baseball pitcher who never played football
before last season, Weyman strapped on his pads last September for the first
time and threw for 200 yards and two touchdowns in the first half of his first
career game.
He finished the eight game season with 1,520 yards, 13
touchdowns and only 5 interceptions. He averaged an amazing 26 yards per completion
in just 104 passing attempts. That was an average of only 13 throws per game
on a running-dominated team who threw mostly on predictable passing downs. That's
an amazing talent.
It's all in his eyes!
When I reviewed his film, I was struck with Brett's poise
and polish from the pocket. You could never tell he was a new player. He was
super calm and relaxed, and you could tell that his great vision was his greatest
attribute as a quarterback.
His film showed him looking off primary receivers to fool
the defense, and then come back to hit them once they broke clear. If they were
covered initially, he would buy time by rolling smoothly left or right until
the coverage spread, then he would throw effortlessly on the run to a back,
a tight end, or a readjusting receiver. This is that extra dimension that both
John Elway and Brett Favre have as great quarterbacks.
Like Favre, Elway, and Curt Warner, Weyman's eyes
are his greatest attribute. He reads the field like a morning newspaper. He
has an uncanny ability to wait that extra second. He uses his speed and quickness
to avoid the rush, as he waits for the receiver to clear.
His head is on a turret. When he finds his man, his arm
is strong, his release quick, and his accuracy is uncanny. This one dimension
is why Weyman might become great. And It just might be the quality that gets
him into major stadiums on Sundays after his college career.
Another special throwing quality that Weyman possesses
is his uncanny touch. His deep ball comes down into the receivers' outstretched
hands so softly and catchable that I think even I could catch it. He is a natural
at this position and it shows. So, when I compared him to Elway, some were surprised
that I would rate an relatively unknown newcomer so high. That was ... until
they saw his film.
"I looked at the Weyman tape two or three times," said
Chris Pool of Midwest Recruiting, who is one of my colleagues at The Insiders.com.
"On film Brett looks like a cross between Brett Favre and John Elway. Weyman
has the body of Favre and the super-quick release of Elway. Brett has a strong
arm, but he also shows a feathery touch. He also sees the entire field and his
pass drops are near flawless."
"Weyman can do it all," said Pool. "He throws great on
the run and to either side of the field. He runs through all his checks, before
he delivers a bullet to a receiver. To put it plain and simple, Weyman is pure
athlete," said Pool.
"I tell everyone that I talk to that is looking for a quarterback
that his upside is terrific! Brett Weyman is one of the best I have seen, because
game film doesn't lie," said Jamie Newberg of The Insiders.
In discussing Brett with his dad Grant, the elder Weyman
said, "With as big of numbers as Brett put up for a short season and relatively
few attempts, completing 54% of his passes, coaches are doing the math. If Brett
had thrown, say nearly 400 times like his fellow signal-caller ... Kyle Wright,
from California, Brett's numbers would have been in the stratosphere, and one
of the nation's highest. It is not just probable, it is possible, because Brett
Weyman is that good."
Speaking of Wright, he went up against Weyman at the recent
NIKE Camp at Stanford. Wanting to compete against the best, Weyman talked his
dad into sending him 3,000 miles across the country to this NIKE Camp, because
it was supposed to be the biggest and probably the best of the Nike Camps. His
goal was to compete against the best quarterbacks in the country and he knew
that Wright and Dennis Dixon, both from California, and Johnny Durocher
from Washington were all going to be there.
"Brett Weyman came all the way from Connecticut and he
had a very solid day," said Greg Biggins, the Nike camp player personnel director
and another national analyst for The Insiders. "He can make all the throws,
he has a strong arm, and he tested very well, running a 4.12 in the shuttle.
He definitely looks the part of a high-Division-I quarterback. He was as impressive
as any quarterback on this day."
Stacy Dove, who accompanied Brett to Stanford as his chaperone,
said, "Although I train Brett, I would never give credit if credit was
not true or due. There were a lot of talented kids out there, but Brett definitely
shined, and he was as quick as a big cat. To think he could travel all day on
Friday on two planes, and then get up Saturday morning to compete and perform
like he did, was a testimony to his aggressiveness and to his belief in himself.
Brett really accomplished his mission out there and he made a huge impact."
Atlanta Falcons running back Travis Jervey chimed in, "When
I first met Brett Weyman, I could not believe that he was just a high school
kid. I have trained next to him now for two years and believe me when I tell
you, that this kid has got it all together. He's bigger and quicker than a lot
of NFL quarterbacks right now. He's going to be as good as he wants to be."
In my opinion, Weyman is the top high school quarterback
in the East. He is an unbelievable physical specimen who professional trainers
believe has one of the best prototypical bodies built for the speed and the
durability that it takes to play this position at the high-Division-I level.
Dove believes that Brett has one of the nation's best size-to-speed-to-strength
ratios among high school athletes. Brett looks like the seasoned athlete he
is. He is very mature and man-like in appearance.
Brett's speed coach, Bob Clark of Speed Science LLC, in
Hartford has clocked Brett in a 4.49 on turf and a 4.53 on grass.
His Stanford Nike camp shuttle speed of 4.12 is very fast
for a big quarterback. Brett has a 134 IQ, so he can understand this complicated
position and process information quickly.
Kevin Driscoll, the head coach of Avon, is the man responsible
for giving Brett his start. He turned down other experienced quarterbacks in
favor of the pitcher who wanted to play football.
"I just had a hunch," said Driscoll. "He was big,
strong, and a fast athlete with a burning desire to play football, so I went
with him. After his first game, we all knew that he was going to be great. He
helped lead us to our conference championship last year. He has all the skills
and his upside is huge. Brett is the complete package."
Brett has heard from over 50 schools. He is being actively
recruited by the elite programs who live by the pass, which obviously suits
Brett's drop-back, pro style. Miami, Maryland, Purdue, Stanford, South Carolina
and LSU headline the schools that are wooing him.
Brett will be a busy camper in the coming two months. "On
June 1, I will be at Purdue for a one-day camp," says Weyman. "Then on June
16-18, I will be at South Carolina. On June 19-21, I'll be at Maryland and then
Miami on June 22-23."
"I will be at the Boston College camp on June 24-25 and
then I will be at North Carolina State on June 25-26. After that, I will be
at Yale for our Avon team camp."
"I'm very excited about competing at all of these camps,
but the one that I'm really looking forward to is the LSU camp on July 21-22,"
said Weyman. "At that LSU camp, it will be like another Nike camp at Stanford,
because top rated quarterbacks including Flynn, Robert Lane, and Jamarcus
Russell will all be there.
Weyman has a 3.4 GPA at one of the highest-rated Northeastern
boarding schools in the country. He has classes six days a week. He is running
for student council next year. He is an accomplished musician who reads music.
His character is beyond reproach, his record clean. He speaks with authority.
Weyman is respectful, reserved, conservative and very confident.
He is a quality individual. Above all, he is a very serious player, with his
eye on developing his skills. Football is Brett's relentless mission.

Wright, Dixon, Durocher, Russell and others.

text: I think this makes three days now... the WHITE-WINGED SCOTER is still present under the Coleman Bridge on the Gloucester County side. It is chumming with the three buffleheads there. If you come down the road towards the boat ramp, the birds are to the right of the bridge in a small backwater-type area out of the wind. The strong winds have the river whipped into a frenzy so the birds are staying close to shore - allowing easy looks. I did not see any white on the scoter's face, but it shows the wing patches often. I presume this is a female or a young bird?

Twitchings have a variety of causes, the majority of which are benign, but can also be due to disease of the motor neurons. Even medications like anticholinergic drugs such as benadryl can cause them. Stimulants like caffeine and amphetamines can cause them directly.

I did it! I did it! yaaayy.............
This is my second attempt making this kind of cake and the first one was nothing but failure :(. I was determined to make it again until I succeeded and here it is my friend, I proudly present my Lapis Cake :D.
This is another traditional Indonesian delicacy, although Singaporean and Malaysian also have this same cake too. This cake is best known for its ridiculous quantity of butter and egg yolks, making it the number one cake that has the highest cholesterol level :D, not to mention the time it needs to make layer by layer. It needs a great patience and determination. But it's not like you eat it everyday, or you eat the whole thing, so moderation is the key.
Still being traumatic with the failure I had last time, I don't want to waste another 20+ egg yolks and a pound of good quality butter. This is one of the most expensive and labor-intensive cake in Indonesia. To get the best taste, you have to use the best quality ingredients. The freshest eggs, the best quality butter. I would say butter is the key to this cake. We usually use Australian butter that has higher fat content than American butter, and it also has "milky" taste to it that I love so much. The only draw back is that this kind of butter is so darn expensive, about $5 for less than 1/2lb.
I tried a new recipe this time, which uses cream cheese in the batter. You know I love anything cheesy and I still have a little cream cheese left in the fridge. And it only uses less than 20 egg yolks for 7x7in pan. So, it's perfect for another try. 16 egg yolks are not much at all if you're thinking of making this cake. I have a recipe that calls for 60 egg yolks. Yes, you read it right, it's the whole 5 dozens egg yolks and 1.5lbs butter. I'm not that crazy yet, so I'll save it for another time :), but I would be very curious to know how it would turn like.
I used a recipe from auntyyochana site, but I completely change the method. The usual method is you beat the butter and the egg yolk separately until they both bleached, then you combine them together, but the recipe doesn't suggest this. Somehow, I follow my instinct and use the method that I'm familiar with. I also added condensed milk when beating the butter (it's usually added for emulsifier I think? no?) and substitute the rum with Indonesian vanilla powder. It doesn't call for "bumbu spekoek" or mixed spice that's usually make lapis legit its distinct flavor. Some people like it and some don't. I'm okay with it as long as it's not too strong. A little of this spice goes a long way. But I would think it would completely overpower the cheese flavor if it was added. I would prefer it to be added in a regular flavor lapis cake.
I layered it one by one, taking the pan out once every 5 minutes or so, press the cake with fondant smoother, prick the air bubbles if there are any, and layer it with another batter. You need to weigh the batter or use the same amount for each layer to ensure the even finish layers. It took me more than 2 hours I think to finish layering (not counting the batter preparation itself) and all that time, I patiently waiting and sticking my nose to the oven window, watching it carefully like eagle's eyes :D. But seriously, you need to watch it carefully to prevent burning (at least for amateur like me), since you need to use broil setting to brown the layer.
I felt pretty confident when I was halfway through. The cake felt very moist and soft, unlike the first one I made. And I was filled with joy after I cut the four sides and see the pretty layers showing. The very top part was a little too brown than what I would have expected. I was holding a baby and then remembered about the cake!! (I didn't time it). Good thing I didn't burn it or else the last 3-4 hours would have been gone straight to drain :(.
It tasted very moist and soft when I tried it. I was really satisfied with the result, and it completely made my day even though now I'm left with this pain on my feet and my back, hehehe...The cheese flavor is not that strong, I can barely taste it. I think it's predictable, considering the amount of the cream cheese compared to the butter. I would make some adjustment to the recipe to make the ultimate "Lapis Legit Keju". I'm thinking adding more cream cheese, sprinkling each layer with shredded cheese, adding a little more egg yolk to have the usual yellow color in this cake. Some people added yellow coloring to it, but I think it's just fake. This cake is not as yellow as the ones sold in upscale bakery in Indonesia since this doesn't use as many egg yolks. And since I'm a big fan of "milky" flavor, I will substitute some of the flour with powdered milk. Now, it would really be "the ultimate" :D. But don't expect me to make it anytime soon. After this one, we need to work hard to lose that extra calories and cholesterol, not to mention the labor-intensive and time-consuming part. But I gues a multi-component cake would take much longer to make than this.

Tammy Blanchard has signed with Gersh for all areas. A TV regular, Blanchard is currently guest starring on Showtime's The Big C with Laura Linney. On the film side, she was in last year's Moneyball and soon will appear in the indie drama Union Square with Miro Sorvino. Blanchard just finished a stint on Broadway in How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, a performance that garnered a Tony nomination. She won a Supporting Actress Emmy in 2001 for her role in Life With Judy Garland: Me And My Shadows. Blanchard is managed by Soffer/Namoff Entertainment.
Tammy Blanchard Signs With Gersh
9 Comments
I've been following her career for a long time. She's a phenomenally talented actress and deserves to be a bigger star, i.e. in the category of a Julianne Moore. The industry knows and respects her; hopefully she'll get the breakout role that wakes up the rest of the world. BTW, this is not a plant. I'm truly someone who just admires her work.
Kaykay, I agree with you! I'm a college student from NC who loves Tammy. She is absolutely riveting in everything. I can't recommend the indie "Bella" enough!
From a 'tv regular' to a person wondering where all the jobs went- thats what will happen after she is at Gersh for a while
Why? Can you elaborate on what, specifically, about Gersh would diminish someone's employability, or interfere with their ability to book jobs. I'm genuinely curious.
I too have been following her career and each time she appears in a movie or a play or a TV movie I ask myself when is this girl going to break through.
When she appeared in "Of Two Minds" on Lifetime I was floored by her spot on performance. She had me in tears.
How long does someone with this magnitude of talent have to sit in the wings before Hollywood gives her the break she deserves. Wake up Hollywood "A star is born."
If Gersh has a strength it's TV actresses. It's sure not everything else.
I'm at Gersh and I'm doing fine. The agency just gets you in the door, it's up to you once you're inside the room.
Thank you for expressing a sane human sentiment.
I, too, have been following Ms. Blanchard's career since Guiding Light in 98. She was amazing and brilliant then and in everything since. A Tony nom, an Emmy..the lady is doing it. Period. How nice to look forward to future successes and even better roles, for they will surely come.

The Glenwood Springs City Council earlier this month gave state transportation officials the green light on the design scheme for a new pedestrian bridge, one of two new spans that will be built across the Colorado River.
The walkway will likely add about $6 million to the $60 million cost estimate for replacing the existing Grand Avenue bridge, said Joe Elsen, a program engineer with the Colorado Department of Transportation, on Tuesday.
CDOT is in the middle of a lengthy planning effort to build the new vehicular bridge, replacing a 60-year-old span that is functionally obsolete. State planners say the pedestrian bridge will alleviate impacts from the overall project, speed up the construction process and ensure customers can get to businesses near the existing bridge when it is shut down.
But the City Council in May balked at the initial set of schematics for the pedestrian span, saying they were concerned that the three presented options "did not reflect the character of the community," according to a state press release issued Monday.
Mayor Leo McKinney said Tuesday that the council didn't send CDOT completely "back to the drawing board." But there was input from the council and citizens that planners could better incorporate historic elements of surrounding buildings like the Hotel Colorado and the Amtrak train station, he said.
CDOT's press release says there will be several shorter towers with architectural elements consistent with the city's historic character. City Council members unanimously backed the tweaked CDOT plan on Aug. 1, the press release says.
While the new Grand Avenue bridge for vehicles will shift to the west from its current alignment, ending near the westbound Interstate 70 exit ramp and the Village Inn restaurant, the pedestrian bridge will be built where the existing bridge is, Elsen said.
It will "clear span" the Colorado, meaning CDOT will not build a pier in the middle of the river, he said.
City Council still has concerns about the features at the ends of the pedestrian bridge that will allow people to access the street below, McKinney said. Ideas for an elevator or, conversely, a ramp feature that complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act have been floated to tepid responses.
The city would be charged with maintaining and providing security for an elevator, meaning it would have to hire someone to watch the area overnight, McKinney said.
The council "wasn't too thrilled" with the ramp feature, either, he said.
On the north end, the bridge will end near the intersection of 6th and Pine streets. Placing a ramp structure there would "take away a pretty distinct viewshed" in front of the Glenwood Canyon Brewing Co., McKinney said.
No decision has been made on that portion of the project.
The pedestrian span itself will play a critical role in the building of the vehicular bridge, according to CDOT.
There are electric, fiber-optic, water and other utilities running beneath the existing bridge, infrastructure that will have to be relocated when construction begins in 2015.
The goal is to get the pedestrian bridge in place before building the other bridge, Elsen said. That will allow CDOT to use the pedestrian span as a conduit for the utility lines, a move that could speed up construction that is expected to last into 2016.
"It's definitely going to be a good move to get that in place and get utilities moved over to it," Elsen said.
Having the pedestrian bridge in place when the current Grand Avenue bridge closes will also allow access for businesses in the area.
"We really have a strong commitment to the stakeholders in the area, and we want to make sure we always have pedestrian connectivity in there," Elsen said. "The pedestrian mobility issue is always a big one, really in any resort community."
He said the business community near the bridge suffered when the span had to be shut down a few years ago for new deck work, something CDOT wants to avoid this time.
The public can see conceptual renderings of the pedestrian bridge in the lobby of Glenwood Springs City Hall, 101 West 8th St. The model will also be available every other week at the Downtown Market in Centennial Park on Tuesdays from 4 to 8 p.m.

MLS Cup: Chad Barrett suffers freak ankle injury
The Los Angeles Galaxy will play in the MLS Cup on Sunday without forward Chad Barrett, who dislocated his right ankle in a freak accident in training Thursday.
Barrett rolled over his ankle after his cleats stuck in the turf.
"It physically shook some of our guys," Galaxy captain Landon Donovan said of the accident.
Barrett, 26, was second on the team in goals (seven) and assists (five) and tied with Donovan for the club lead in game-winning goals (four). Barrett scored three of his goals in the Galaxy's final five games.
Meanwhile, Galaxy forward Robbie Keane will return today after playing for Ireland in qualifying for the 2012 European Championships.
Keane, Ireland's captain and all-time leading scorer, played in his team's 4-0 rout of Estonia on Friday. The teams will meet again today to finish their two-game playoff.
Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said he asked Ireland's manager, Giovanni Trapattoni, about reducing Keane's playing time, though Ireland has yet to secure a berth in Euro 2012.
"Robbie needs to be there for Ireland," said Arena, who said he has no qualms about Keane playing in the MLS title game against the Houston Dynamo (Sunday, 9 p.m. ET, ESPN).
"Robbie's the kind of guy who could probably get off the plane and play," Arena said. "But we're certainly going to give him a couple of easy days and have him ready for Sunday."
Carr's value: After enduring post-concussion syndrome for the past three years, forward Calen Carr is one of the Dynamo's most potent — and least-recognized — weapons.
Carr, acquired from the Chicago Fire in March, made his Dynamo debut Aug. 17. He played nine games and scored one goal in the regular season. But Carr has started all three playoff games, playing 233 of 270 minutes.
Carr's lone postseason goal gave the Dynamo a 2-1 victory against the Philadelphia Union on Oct. 30 in the first match of their two-game playoff series.
"In the playoffs he showed how valuable he is," Houston coach Dominic Kinnear said. "I think him becoming healthy has given us that bit of a threat over the top."
Coaching history: The coach who wins Sunday will become the first in league history to guide a team to three MLS championships.
Arena won the first two MLS Cups in 1996 and 1997 with D.C. United. The Fire denied Arena a third crown with a 2-0 victory in 1998.
Kinnear won MLS Cups with Houston in 2006 and 2007.
Kinnear, Frank Yallop (San Jose Earthquakes, 2001 and 2003), Peter Nowak (D.C. United, 2004) and Jason Kreis (Real Salt Lake, 2009) are former MLS players who have won titles as coaches.
Yallop and Sigi Schmid (Galaxy, 2002; Columbus Crew, 2008) are the only other coaches to win two MLS Cups.
Schedule determined: The USA now knows two of its opponents in CONCACAF qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.
Guatemala and Antigua and Barbuda easily won their respective groups in second-round play with one match remaining. They will join Group A with the USA and Jamaica, which received automatic byes into next year's third round.
Mexico will play in Group B with Costa Rica, El Salvador and Guyana. Group C will consist of Canada, Honduras, Cuba and Panama.
Round-robin play in each group will take place between June and October. The top two finishers from each group will form a six-team group, from which three teams will emerge with berths for the World Cup in Brazil.

Cancer can be compared to weeds that grow in the garden, if left alone they can overpower healthy plants. The Piptopet remedy is very effective to help stimulate the immune system which often results in the shrinking of the tumours but also boosts energy levels and quality of life. Also, by changing the soil to promote healthy plants the weeds no longer have a happy home.
This is exactly what the Custom Remedy Package does. When we combine the Piptopet to the Custom Remedy Package, we treat the cancer in 2 different ways which helps your animal fight cancer but also slows down the evolution process.
TonicPet #4 will complete the maximizing action of the Piptopet and Custom Remedy resulting in a better quality of life for your animal.
This is without a doubt what we would use if our dog Westin had cancer.
This package is made to maximize the results of Piptopet. Therefore, it is important to buy Piptopet to get the full benefits and great results from the combination of this package.

It was called 'Inside Innovation', but Wellington's policy-peoples' group hug could have just as easily been called 'Insider Innovation'.
It was high level stuff, leavened with a presentation by Weta Digital.
Part of the basis of the Tuesday half-day event was an OECD presentation comparing New Zealand to international counterparts – which across most of its metrics found us middling, at best.
It was also a chance to review how much progress had been made on 2007 OECD recommendations on innovation. (ah, 240 pages worth!)
Science Minister Wayne Mapp made the point that since then there has been:
1. A better strategic direction for CRIs
2. More support for basic and applied research
3. Improved support for business R&D
4. A clearer strategy across the innovation interface
5. Improved co-ordination between government agencies
All this is a work in progress; and as such hard to refute.
Mapp's main contention is that what has occurred on National's shift is a change in kiwi mindset around innovation and its role in economic growth.
There will be more on some of the OECD's (latest) NZ findings, but other points pulled from the forum were:
Andrew Clelland – IPENZ (point/question made from the floor)
• The adoption and adaptation of technology is increasingly seen from around the globe; everyone's borrowing from everyone else. Finland, as an example, has established 'listening posts' in global hotspots such as Silicon Valley and St Petersburg
Peter Gluckman – Chief science adviser (said before, but worth repeating)
• NZ's struggling to lift game from that of a frontier society. An anti-intellectualism means there's lack of a rigorous debate around a number of important strategic issues
• NZ should develop early stage science/research alliances with other countries
• Intense regional and city parochialism means expertise is diffuse in NZ, with little clustering
• Needs to be more 'permeability' allowing clever people to move between academia/business/government
• Should we look to more strategic rather than contestible funding?
Phil O'Reilly – Business New Zealand
• When talking about 'innovation' the questions to be asked are "to what purpose, with what future?" It is important that NZ decides how to play in this space rather than just sloganising
John Key – Prime Minister
• We need to be more aggressive about where we think we want to go (from an innovation and economic point of view)

U.S. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts is urging federal officials to approve a key portion of Cape Wind's financing plan.
Kerry and all 10 Massachusetts members of the U.S. House sent a letter Thursday to Energy Secretary Steven Chu asking that he speed Cape Wind's loan guarantee application so work can begin on the 130-turbine wind farm in Nantucket Sound.
Kerry says a timely approval will reduce the cost of electricity from the nation's first offshore wind farm.
Under a 15-year power purchasing agreement between National Grid and Cape Wind Associates, 75 percent of the savings from a federal loan guarantee would be passed along to customers in the form of lower rates.
Kerry says that translates into millions in savings.
The company hopes to start construction by the end of the year.

Preparing Students for Off-Campus Study
Will you be leading a group of students off-campus or working with students planning independent college-related travel or internships? These resources are for you!
Short trips off-campus
If you will be traveling with a group of students on off-campus day-trips, collect pertinent health and emergency contact information with this Off-Campus Activity Form prior to departure. Send the completed forms in a single PDF to email@example.com prior to departure, or turn them in at the front desk of the Center for Student Opportunity. Make sure you keep a copy for yourself that you can access while off-campus!
If you will have multiple day trips throughout your course, note the dates and locations of each trip on the form, or consider setting up an online travel registry for the class by emailing email@example.com.
Extended travel off-campus
If you will be traveling on extended trips with students, either domestically or internationally, the Off-Campus Study office in the Center for Student Opportunity can set up online travel registration for your class and give you access to all of their completed waiver and medical forms and emergency contact information online. This will give you 24/7 access to this information in the event of an off-campus emergency. Also, in the event of a critical incident (e.g. natural disaster or terrorist attack), the online registry will help the College quickly identify whether Alma students may have been affected.
Motor Pool Procedures
If you will using College vehicles for your off-campus travel, please see the Motor Pool Procedures outlined in the MOO. These include that
- All drivers must be cleared through the required drivers license check
- Students may not transport any passengers unless accompanied by a college faculty or staff member, and
- The destination cannot be more than 350 miles from campus
Student International Travel Policy
In March 2014, Alma College adopted the Student International Travel Policy. This policy outlines the circumstances under which the College restricts student travel to locations deemed high risk, as well as the process by which faculty and staff may petition for exemptions from the travel policy. Travel is restricted to locations for which the US Department of State has issued a travel warning, OR where Europ Assistance deems the location to have a "High" or "Very High" threat level (level 4 or level 5 on their 5-point rating scale).
If you are planning international travel (e.g. a Spring Term course) that will involve international travel with students, OR if you are working with students on plans for independent college-related travel (e.g. sponsoring a P-Global application or an international internship), please register to access the Europ Assistance website for information on security risk, travel warnings, and a host of other useful information on your destination.
International Emergency Medical Insurance
Alma students enrolled through the Center for Student Opportunity in approved off-campus study programs are covered by the Alma College international emergency medical insurance policy. Students attending other Alma College approved international opportunities such as faculty-led Spring Term programs may also qualify for coverage under this policy. To learn if a travel experience will be covered, contact Alma College's insurance representative Cassie Tennant by email or by telephone at (989) 463-7156.
Review the summary of benefits and claims procedures.
At Pre-departure Orientation, students will be provided with EIIA/EuropAssistance wallet cards with instructions on how to contact Europ Assistance for medical or other emergency travel assistance needs.
Note: it is important that students maintain their US health insurance during their time abroad. In the event of a medical evacuation back to the United States, this policy will not cover any treatment or service provided in the US.
Pre-departure Orientation
Once each Fall and Winter semester, the Off-Campus Study office will hold a mandatory pre-departure orientation session for all students traveling abroad the following semester.
Please remind your students that they are required to attend this session if they will be traveling outside the United States. If you know of any students planning independent international college-related experiences (e.g. internships, independent studies, or non-Alma study abroad programs), please inform the Off-Campus Study office in the Center for Student Opportunity so that we can notify these students about pre-departure orientation dates. Thank you!
Support for Off-Campus Spring Terms
The Center for Student Opportunity provides support to Spring Term courses traveling off-campus in the ways outlined here. Please contact the Off-Campus Study office in the Center for Student Opportunity if you have any questions.

Saltwater heatsink
Good day all,
I am developing a HS for electronics fully submerged in slow running saltwater.
the questions of corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity comes into play.
Some of the options available are:
salt resist / thermal conduction
monel/Inconel - good/poor
Titanium - good/poor
I am now looking at
1) Aluminium with electroless Ni-plating
2) Copper with electroless Ni-plating
No leaching allowed into the saltwater.
Appreciate all your insights and thoughts.
advance thanks.

Ever wonder how an actor selects his movie roles? We're pretty certain that an actor just starting out will grab whatever role they can finagle. John Cusack, we'd imagine, must have gone through this from his start, debuting alongside none other than Rob Lowe and Andrew McCarthy. But what stands out in the screamingly Eighties 'Class,' is the raw gem that is to develop in the midst: John Cusack.
In the process of gathering reviews of his movies for this website--and their were many, many movies to consider--one certainty stood out among the din. Cusack is an actor with the capacity to shine in whichever role he chooses. From playing an ubernerd in the classic 'Sixteen Candles,' to an obstinate, dark and immature elitist indie record store owner in 'High Fidelity,' Cusack has an uncanny penchant for nailing his roles.
Take a tour through the filmography pages of John Cusack's entire career span and brush up on your knowledge of Cusack's hits and misses and the growing number of films that are piling up under the heading of 'classic.'

text: Dec 17, 2010 - I have a love hate relationship with this product (and Miss Jessie's as a company). I HATE that "kinks to curls" motto they use...it just irks me. I feel like they are trying to "sell" the dream of good hair..and the false promoise that using thier expensive products will give you that. That being said, I've used this product and while the price point is outragious, the product is ok. When its really cold here (I'm talking below zero wind chills) then I use this. All the mineral oil, bees wax and linolin coat my hair and protect it from the harsh weather. The draw back is that you MUST wash this stuff out with a sulfate shampoo. It builds up rather quickly and while it's marketed as a "moisturizer" the moisturizing effects are only temperary. Just one glance at the ingredients will show that most are things that will sit on your hair and clog it up over time. So, if you goal is to sort of "seal" up your hair from the harsh winter elements, then this is a good product. But if you are just in the market for a good moisturizer, skip this. There are much better (and cheaper) products out there.

There is currently no prevention or cure for Alzheimer disease (AD). People may live with AD for up to 25 years, but the average is 8 to 10 years. Treatment consists of attempting to slow the progression of the disease, easing symptoms, managing behavioral issues, and providing the affected person and caregivers with support and education. Early in the disease, those with AD may be able to live fairly normal lives with small amounts of assistance, such as memory aids and a structured environment. This is the time when the person can make plans and participate in decisions about future care.
Early diagnosis of AD may allow some people to receive moderate benefit from cholinesterase inhibitors, drugs that preserve intellectual ability by preserving the function of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, such as galantamine, donepezil, and rivastigmine. Whenever possible, the person's other medications are evaluated and he or she is taken off drugs that may worsen confusion, such as central nervous system depressants, antihistamines, sleeping pills, and analgesics.
Throughout the progression of AD, antidepressants and other drugs may also be used in small quantities, along with environmental modifications intended to make the home environment safer and more familiar, to moderate personality and behavioral issues such as depression, agitation, paranoia, and violence, and to make the person more comfortable.
While current research into the protective and therapeutic influences of certain substances is promising, specific agents cannot yet be recommended. They each carry their own associated risks and side effects. Further studies are needed to determine their actual effectiveness and long-term safety.

Forest & Trees Sock by Kate Atherley
Welcome! You are browsing as a guestWould you like to see 3 projects made from this pattern and much more? create a free account What am I missing?
© Kate Atherley
Forest & Trees Sock
I love variegated yarns, and I love complex stitchwork. But too colourful a yarn means that the stitchwork is obscured; too much patterning and you lose the effect of the colours. This sock design is a nice balance of the two – the stitchwork is strong enough to stand up to a coloured yarn, and yet still lets the colour show through…. allowing you to see both the forest and the trees…
Although the stitch pattern looks complex, it's actually a 16 stitch repeat, with a couple of 4-stitch cables. If you've got good pointy needles, you can even work it without a cable needle.

Mitt Romney is building a new family manse in Salt Lake City, and it includes a hidden room that you access via a swinging bookcase.
The property, which abuts the Jordan and Salt Lake Canal, will include multiple lawns and terraces, a fountain, a fire pit and a gazebo. An outdoor spa will be accessible from the master bathroom.
With the exception of two of the three upstairs bedrooms, the living space is mainly on the first floor. The three-car garage is expected to have an apartment constructed on top of it at some future date.
Then there's that hidden room. The architectural drawings say it's for "office storage." It measures 11 feet long and is lined with cabinets. The "hidden door," as it's labeled on the documents, is masked as a bookshelf and swings into the study. There are no other details, and Romney's spokeswoman declined to comment.

MARTIN FLETCHER: When it comes to Mexico, the news is often of drug cartels…violence…illegal immigration…
But there's another story in Mexico…America of course has long been a magnet for Mexican workers, but more and more job seekers are coming here to the state of Querétaro. It's one of Mexico's smaller states, about an hour's drive from the capital. It's a relatively crime-free area. Socially, politically it's been stable for a long time, and more and more international companies are flocking here.
Of all the cities in the world, this small Mexican town had the highest growth last year in foreign direct investment — that's money invested directly into local business. And its population is growing rapidly too.
With its colonial center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its new industrial parks, the poster child for Mexico's burgeoning new economy is here in Querétaro.
Oscar Aguilar, a local journalist, reports on the growth of the town, and the companies investing here.
OSCAR AGUILAR: Bombardier, American Airlines, Aeromexico, Samsung, Honda.
MARTIN FLETCHER: Siemens, General Electric as well.
OSCAR AGUILAR: Yes, yes.
MARTIN FLETCHER: So this means a lot of jobs for the people?
OSCAR AGUILAR: A lot.
MARTIN FLETCHER: Those new jobs are attracting Mexicans seeking stability and safety — like Aguilar himself. He was a journalist in the state of Sinaloa, 700 miles away, until –
OSCAR AGUILAR: The teammate that I had died because of the drug dealers.
MARTIN FLETCHER: How did he die?
OSCAR AGUILAR: They arrived into their house, they broke into their house and shot him into the head. Him, his wife, his two daughters, and the two grandmas that were living there. I said no I don't, I ain't gonna expose my life."
MARTIN FLETCHER: He moved to Querétaro with his wife Anel and daughter, Tammy.
OSCAR AGUILAR: How was your day? Give me my kiss. My kiss. Good.
Queretaro means a town that gave me a job, gave me stability, and gave me an opportunity to grow with my family.
MARTIN FLETCHER: Safely?
OSCAR AGUILAR: Safely.
MARTIN FLETCHER: It's believed at least 70,000 people have been killed in Mexico's drug wars since 2006.
But Querétaro, nestled in the country's interior, has been relatively untouched. Although a drug lord was killed here recently — it has one of the lowest murder rates in the country and it's far from states like Sinaloa and Chihuahua that have the highest incidents of homicide.
And now new government reforms aim to bring economic stability and safety beyond small pockets like Querétaro — and extend them to Mexico's 120 million people.
MEXICAN FINANCE SECRETARY LUIS VIDEGARAY: Perhaps no other country has had such a successful year as we did last year in terms of changing things in the Mexican economy: in energy, telecommunications, the fiscal front, financial reform. We did many things that better the prospects of growth for Mexico."
MARTIN FLETCHER: Manufacturing is booming, especially for export. Take the auto industry. Next year, Mexico should become America's number one source for cars, exporting more to the United States than Japan or Canada.
And last year Mexico's 47-year-old president Enrique Peña Nieto began his term of office with a dramatic series of reforms to open up the Mexican economy even further.
In the energy sector, Peña Nieto broke the 75-year state oil monopoly, with a constitutional amendment allowing private companies to invest in the industry.
On education, the government broke the teacher union's hold on school staffing, by passing a bill to stop the sale and inheritance of teaching jobs.
And for the broader economy, Peña Nieto and his allies increased competition, by passing new tax and banking reforms.
The president hopes his reforms bring more success stories like that of Bombardier, the Canadian company that makes the Learjet. Their facility is just a 30 minute drive from the center of boomtown Querétaro.
PILAR ABAROA, COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER, BOMBARDIER AEROSPACE MEXICO: In 2005 there was nothing here. It was a green field.
MARTIN FLETCHER: Bombardier invested half a billion dollars in this division in Querétaro – its 45 employees here have grown to 1,800. Two dozen more aviation companies joined them in the area.The new Lear jet 85 should be delivered by the end of this year.
PILAR ABAROA: We're manufacturing from here to here – which is the front fuselage, and we're manufacturing around from here to here, which is the aft fuselage, and we will do the wings assembly too.
MARTIN FLETCHER: Parts manufactured in Mexico, trucked to Wichita, Kansas for assembly, for a company headquartered in Quebec, Canada.
More centers of growth like Querétaro –- that's the goal of the new government's economic reforms.
Though Mexico's economy slipped in the last quarter of 2013, economists expect growth to rebound. And this February the credit agency Moody's upgraded Mexico to an A rating — on hopes Peña Nieto's government will put those reforms into action.
Those reforms you're mentioning have been signed into law, but have yet for the most part to be implemented.
LUIS VIDEGARAY: Absolutely.
MARTIN FLETCHER: And the distance from signing a piece of paper to implementing it is a long way.
LUIS VIDEGARAY: Well reform is change, and there's always resistance to change.
MARTIN FLETCHER: Already the teacher's union has launched a series of bitter protests,
While analysts — like political scientist Denise Dresser — believe the billionaire leaders of industry will not easily give up their power.
DENISE DRESSER: What Peña Nieto would like to see is a more competitive, level playing field form of economic development. But the vested interests are very strong. And those vested interests are not going to give up without a fight."
MARTIN FLETCHER: Can Peña Nieto carry out his reforms? What is sure is that he is deflecting Mexico's narrative away from this, the drug war, which recently saw a significant development:
{News coverage}
From drugs and thugs to manufacturing hubs. That's the story the government wants to tell. And there's a lot of truth in the story of Mexico's industrial growth.
Demand for Mexican made goods has helped drive the manufacturing sector in the country.
Mexico's trade with the United States amounts to half a trillion dollars a year, and both sides want that to grow.
Mexico's already America's third largest trading partner after Canada and China. And Mexico's advantages over China are clear – it's closer, so has lower transport costs. And its labor costs are static, while China's are growing.
And it's not just factories that are growing here.
Back in Querétaro, Roberto Ibañez manages a growing, state-of-the-art business park — helping put a new face on Mexico, encouraging commercial investors.
ROBERTO IBAÑEZ: We have a commercial center in here, we have two hotels.
MARTIN FLETCHER: Twenty-four companies rent space here, half from overseas.
ROBERTO IBAÑEZ: I have Pepsi Cola, Ericsson, I have Axa Insurance Company."
MARTIN FLETCHER: Eighteen hundred people work here, and growing fast.
ROBERTO IBAÑEZ: I am going to build nine more buildings.
MARTIN FLETCHER: And how many of those buildings have already been rented out?
ROBERTO IBAÑEZ: Three. I already have three rented.
MARTIN FLETCHER: Still, skilled labor is key to Mexico's continued growth. So Querétaro's leaders established an aeronautical university in a vast hangar next to the city's air field, less than a mile from Bombardier. All its employees trained here.
A hundred graduates a year find jobs in Mexico's growing aviation industry. And their key market is North America.
This the students' first exam after three weeks of school. The plane should stay in the air for four seconds…
It's a work in progress — like the Mexican economy.

The Sound of New Music
Compiled by Carol Bodensteiner
"Promoting new American music is a passion for me," says Ryan Haskins, conductor of the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra and the inspiration behind the orchestra's innovative Composer of the Year award, which is now in its second year. "I want Iowans to be able to share that passion."
Haskins expects each of the award winners, selected by a panel that includes him as well as experts in composition and music theory, to spend at least a week in Sioux City. Some of that time is devoted to orchestra rehearsals. But the concert performance is only one dimension of Haskins' effort to introduce new musical talent to a wider audience "in a careful way."
"The winners," says Haskins, "have to be more than just good composers. I want them to be able to talk easily about their music to many different groups — to students and residents of our retirement communities as well as to the preconcert audience. I want our audiences to hear the composer's voice, learn the story behind the music, understand what the composer was trying to do."
Haskins' first experience with showcasing new music came while he was studying at the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore. As the conductor of a 50-person volunteer orchestra, he premiered one of the early works of a fellow student, Clint Needham.
"It was a thrilling experience," recalls Haskins. "And it still gives me joy to be the first to hear a full performance of a wonderful new work."
This year's winner, Roger Zare, will perform with the symphony on November 17. Visit www.rogerzare.com for more information. Buy concert tickets online at www.siouxcitysymphony.org or call 712-277-2111. — M.G.

Pirates flexible in contract talks with All-Star outfielder McCutchen
BRADENTON, Fla. — Although talks remain stalled, the Pirates are willing to work out a multiyear contract with center fielder Andrew McCutchen.
A team source Sunday told the Tribune-Review that the Pirates do not consider the initial gap of about $10 million between the sides to be insurmountable.
McCutchen, the No. 11 pick in the 2005 draft, turned down offers before the 2010 and '11 seasons. No substantial talks have been held since last year, when the sides were far apart on financial terms.
McCutchen's camp likes the $51 million deals given to Arizona's Justin Upton and Cincinnati's Jay Bruce, two other standout outfielders from the 2005 draft class. The Pirates prefer a package closer to $40 million. Sunday, the Washington Nationals and third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, the fourth pick in 2005, agreed to a six-year extension worth $100 million.
McCutchen, who made $453,000 last year, cannot become a free agent until after the 2015 season. But as his status continues to grow — he was an All-Star for the first time last year — the cost to sign him will skyrocket.
The team has until March 11 to set McCutchen's salary for this season. Next year, he will be arbitration-eligible for the first time and in line for a substantial raise.
Without commenting specifically about McCutchen, owner Bob Nutting said the Pirates have both the interest and financial flexibility to do long-term deals with key players.
"That's important and something we need to continue to look at," he said. "We are indeed reaching a point — it might not be an absolute urgency — but we absolutely have a commitment and desire to see that happen."
