By Richard Hanners
A two-term Congressman who rose from humble beginnings, Montana gubernatorial candidate Rick Hill is the current front-runner in the six-way race in the Republican primary. The 64-year-old retired insurance company executive from Helena is no stranger to state politics.
After successfully turning around the Montana Republican Party as its state chairman in the early 1990s, Hill is credited with resolving a $500 million deficit in the Workers Compensation Fund after then-Gov. Marc Racicot asked him to help. Following his election to the U.S. House in 1996, Hill helped Montana acquire the huge Otter Creek coal tracts, and he played a role in rejecting a federal proposal to close down Glacier National Park's Going-to-the-Sun Road for five years while it underwent reconstruction.
Jon Sonju, the state senator from Kalispell, is Hill's running mate for lieutenant governor. Sonju, 36, has been in the state legislature since 2004 and helps run the family business, Sonju Industrial.
Hill offers up three main planks to his campaign platform -- unleashing the economy to create more better-paying jobs, changing how the state establishes its budget, and improving public education.
He cites the same statistics he says out-of-state companies look at -- Montana is ranked 43rd by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; its regulatory environment is ranked 47th by Forbes; it has the most expensive business liability costs according to the Pacific Research Institute; and it's 49th in wages and salaries. To improve the state's business-friendly image, tax code and regulatory challenges and an unstable legal climate must be addressed, he says.
"It takes too long to get things done," he said. "Solving this will take a complex legislative effort, and I think I'm the best person to get this done as governor."
Hill says he doesn't support subsidies as a way to attract businesses to Montana.
"I believe in free markets, competition and free enterprise, not crony capitalism," he said. "We need a climate where businesses can grow on their own."
Pointing to 1,600 new state government jobs created over the past 7 1/2 years, Hill wants to shrink state government. He also wants to address state and teacher pension plans, which he calls unsustainable.
"It's not fair that taxpayers have to provide a better pension plan for government workers than they have for themselves," he said, suggesting the need to "tinker with retirement ages, compensation amounts, contributions, cost-of-living adjustments and abuses such as "income spiking.'"
Hill wants to bring strategic planning to the state's budget process with what he calls "priority budgeting." He says Billings and other states are using this approach, and Montana needs to "build a model of accountability."
"The legislative and executive branches need to sit down and examine every part of government," he said. "We need to ask what are we trying to do and how will we achieve that end. Then we need to set up a means to measure success and set priorities based on that."
Concerned about Montana's high drop-out rate, Hill wants to invest in the state's public school system by using wealth generated by developing the state's natural resources.
"Our primary and secondary schools have a mixed record," he said. "We do reasonably well on test statistics, but 20 percent of our high school students are not graduating, and 30 percent of graduates need remedial training when they get to college."
He says the Montana Office of Public Instruction has evolved into a "compliance agency" instead of helping schools. He wants to give public schools more flexibility while being more accountable and focus more on students, with support for teaching a basic core curriculum. He'd also like to move away from a pay system based on steps and lanes to a merit pay system, where the best teachers are rewarded. He said he might support a tax credit for children who go to private schools.
"The Montana Constitution guarantees Montanans a free, quality education, and as governor I would need to fulfill that obligation, but we need more freedom for schools," he said.

I just mentioned that my wife switches between two different iTunes libraries, including one that lives on a shared volume on our home server. There's a great tip on Stack Overflow for writing a script to automate that swap between iTunes libraries (rather than having to hold down option while iTunes loads and then click around to find the library you want). But it seemed like it might be nice to document for posterity the full script that we've built, since it handles not just the library swapping, but also the mounting of the shared volume as well.
This script takes a little prep work, both generating the library location property and storing the authentication information in the user keychain. The Stack Overflow tip explains the former, and the latter is as easy as connecting to the server and remembering to check the "Save Authentication" checkbox during the authentication process.
-- set server connection information here property serverProtocol : "afp://" property serverName : "your-server-name-here.local" property volumeName : "shared-volume-name-here" -- define the desired library location and save the current library location (http://stackoverflow.com/a/1693973/294171 explains exactly how to generate the appalling hexadecimal value for iTunesLibraryLocation below) property iTunesLibraryLocation : "" property libraryLocationPref : "com.apple.iTunes 'alis:1:iTunes Library Location'" -- try to mount share from server try -- authentication credentials stored in keychain mount volume (serverProtocol & serverName & "/" & volumeName) on error -- if we can't mount the share, we're done display dialog "The shared volume "" & volumeName & "" on the server "" & serverName & "" could not be mounted, so the remote iTunes Library cannot be used.

A bit of background: my wife has an iTunes library that is too large to fit comfortably on her MacBook Air (in all fairness: I have an iTunes library that is too large to fit on her MacBook Air, my MacBook Pro and several other laptops as well). She maintains a local library on her laptop for use at school (useful movies, songs, etc.) and stores her "real" library on our home server. Which involves a bit of fiddling to get it to work. The key issue is that she needs iTunes to load her library off of a shared disk. And, periodically (maybe every couple of months), something goes haywire and she gets this error:
Needless to say, this is exasperating.
There are a number of suggested solutions out there, and I keep forgetting to bookmark "the one" that works. On my last search, I realized that this was because none of them are really the answer that works in our situation. Here's what works (and I'm posting this as a note for self):
sudo chflags -R nouchg <path to iTunes folder>
At least, that's what worked this evening, and it felt really familiar. (There's an unspoken step 2a, of course: cancel the multi-hour process on the server that you had queued up moments before iTunes started misbehaving. Argh.)

It's sort of like the Chekhov's gun TV trope: If there's a picture of a political figure's illegitimate child in the first act, you better believe it's going to be used as blackmail in the third.
That's exactly what happens in Season 2, Episode 2 of "House of Cards." Not only does newly-installed vice president Frank Underwood continue his reign of Southern charm-tinged terror, but he encourages others to do the same. By the end, his new protégé, Rep. Jackie Sharp, is blackmailing a man who has been like a father to her, while also potentially damaging a family caring for a young woman with cerebral palsy.
Frank could not be more proud.
Frank needs a pick-me-up, because in the beginning of the episode, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow makes a cameo as herself, scoffing at Frank Underwood as the new vice president. Maddow calls him "not the most inspiring choice" and "nothing more than a placeholder until 2016." Ouch! Frank is probably the most hurt by her saying that he has "no real 'wow' factor." If only she knew what he does to people who attempt to cross him. (RIP Zoe Barnes.)
Even as he angrily turns off the TV, Frank can't sulk for too long, because there's a swearing-in ceremony about to take place downstairs in his home. It's a disaster zone with a team of annoyingly loud construction workers frantically trying to get all security measures in place, given that Frank refused to move out of his house. There are cameras, secured Internet settings and bodyguards at every turn. How is he supposed to carry out pure evil with so many people watching?
Because he's Frank Underwood, he likely has a plan; he always has multiple sinister plots in motion on at once. There were so many in this episode, it's best to break them down.
1) The race for replacement majority whip
In episode 1, Frank made it clear that he wanted Jackie Sharp to take his place. As usual, he made the plan 100 times more complicated than necessary. It involved getting two senior members of Congress (Wes Buchwalter and Howard Webb) to throw their hats in the ring and have an old-fashioned election. Of course, all of their sniping at each other will result in mutually-assured destruction; meanwhile Jackie, an inexperienced but promising young congresswoman, can swoop in and steal all the votes.
Jackie just has to secure funds, which she does thanks to what seems like a lovely friendship with congressional colleague Ted Havemeyer, a wealthy family friend. They also bonded years ago because Ted has a secret child (by his family's former nanny), a daughter named Emily with cerebral palsy. He's never met her, but sends money for medical bills, and sends Jackie to visit in his place. When Jackie drops hints that she would like to run for whip, Ted nearly falls over himself offering support and lots of money to help.
Unfortunately, Buchwalter and Webb stop bickering long enough to team up – one of them will drop out of the race, and then support the other. This is a problem, so Jackie has to make sure Buchwalter drops out – though the only way he'll do that is if Jackie guarantees him some favors, including obliterating the career of his political nemesis, her good buddy Ted Havemeyer. Jackie hesitates, as Ted is practically family. She visits Frank to ask advice, and he basically laughs in her face that she would think twice about ruining a good friend's life. Um, hello, she's furthering her career!
Embarrassed by her own lack of ruthlessness, Jackie visits Ted and tells him she's spilling the story about his secret daughter. She kindly lets him know a day in advance, so he can alert his wife that their lives are about to be ruined. Ted is furious about what this will do to his family; Jackie declines to care. "I hate myself for it," she says. "But I'll get over that." And Jackie is officially on the dark side.
2) That whole China storyline
Sometimes, it seems like Frank concocts plans to destroy everything just to see if he can. He finds out from Christina (Rep. Russo's former lover/staffer, who now has a plum new gig at the White House) that Raymond Tusk has a secret meeting with the president. Remember Tusk? He's the billionaire businessman who's also the president's BFF and unofficial adviser, who convinced him to install Frank as VP. But Frank doesn't trust him, so he grabs Secretary of State Catherine Durant (the woman he made sure became secretary last season) and they crash Tusk's White House meeting.
Tusk is obviously annoyed with the interruption. In the meeting, Tusk discusses trade issues with China, when Durant brings up that she really wants to push the issue of cybersecurity with Chinese leaders. Tusk balks, but Durant insists it's important, and Frank takes her side … oh sorry, we almost dozed off just typing this paragraph. The story drags on, but the whole point is that Frank proves he can manipulate literally everyone. He convinces Durant to bring up cybersecurity to Chinese leaders in a meeting, even though they become angry; he convinces the president to stand strong on the message, even though a furious Tusk thinks he should apologize to China.
In a shocker, the president goes against Tusk's wishes and gives a defiant speech telling Chinese leaders that they need to have meaningful dialogue about preventing cyberattacks against America. Tusk calls Frank and essentially asks, "Were you guys talking about me behind my back?" Tusk can't believe that the president would ignore his advice — especially because everyone knows the president would never, ever think for himself. It's all very high school. Frank wants to prove he's POTUS's new BFF, and he can take away Tusk's power…just because.
3) Zoe's murder
Though Frank casually tossed Zoe into the path of an oncoming train, he has washed his hands of the incident. The only one who cares is her devastated boyfriend Lucas, who instead of sleeping and showering, is obsessed with finding the truth. He pleads with a detective to get access to Zoe's phone records, and the police refuse to take him seriously. Yes, a reporter about to uncover a major political scandal is dead, there's no reason she would purposefully hurl herself on train tracks – but the police see nothing suspicious. A detective shows Lucas the gruesome frame-by-frame footage of Zoe's fall. A sketchy-looking man with a silly hat and glasses is nowhere in sight (Frank's disguise worked!), so they have no leads. Case closed. See you never again, Lucas.
People at the Washington Herald notice that Lucas is distracted, leading to this hilarious criticism from his boss, who notes Lucas hasn't changed clothes in awhile: "Appearances matter. We can't have an editor looking more disheveled than his reporters." (Remember Zoe's hoodie-filled wardrobe last year? The "House of Cards" team does not think much of journalist fashion sense.) Later, Lucas has a beer-soaked reunion and shares his thoughts with Tom Hammerschmidt, the former Herald executive editor who was fired after that confrontation with Zoe last season. (He offered her the White House beat; she declined. He called her a four-letter word; she tweeted it to the world.) Tom gently tells Lucas that his conspiracy theory about the VP killing Zoe sounds nuts.
Lucas is still determined. One of his reporters covering the China cybersecurity episode makes an offhand mention to the "deep web" part of the Internet, which is filled with shady characters and secret hackers. Soon, Lucas is deep into the deep web, asking around about how exactly someone could hack phone records. Uh oh…
4) Claire's devastating backstory
It's the only time in the episode when Frank nearly gets physically violent, but it's also the most human he seems all season. During Frank's first fancy political function as VP, where he has to pin medals on two newly-commissioned Marine generals, Claire freezes when she sees one of the honorees. His name is Dalton McGinnis, and he mentions to Frank that he and Claire "dated" in college. The truth is much darker: He sexually assaulted Claire when she was a freshman.
Still visibly haunted to see her attacker, Claire rushes to the bathroom. When Frank follows her and she reveals that McGinnis is the man who assaulted her in college, Frank's livid, and looks like he's about attack. Claire pleads with him not to make a scene. Therefore, Frank has to pin a medal on the "hero" McGinnis; after a tense moment when he gives him the most terrifying stare dead in the eye, Frank is forced to do nothing.
Later at home, Claire goes into devastating detail about what McGinnis did. Frank seems enraged by it all. Claire tells her husband to channel his rage elsewhere.
"You'll still feel the hate in the morning," she says. "You'll use that. But not on him."
(Note: We know not everyone likes "House of Cards," but in D.C., it seems like you have to at least pretend. So here are…)

Americans' views of women as political leaders differ by gender
For the first time in history, a woman is the leading candidate for the presidential nomination of a major U.S. political party. As Democrat Hillary Clinton wages her campaign to be the first female chief executive, what do Americans have to say in general about the prospects and qualifications of female candidates for high political offices?
For the most part, Americans – including similar shares of men (74%) and women (76%) – said in a 2014 Pew Research Center survey that women and men make equally good political leaders. When it comes to essential traits of a leader, both men and women saw women as being more compassionate, organized and honest than men, and saw men as being more ambitious and decisive (though for most traits, an even higher share said both genders possess them equally). But the survey found marked differences between women and men on other questions relating to gender and leadership, including the reasons that more women have not been elected. Here are five key findings from the survey on gender differences in views about women and leadership:
1Women in our survey said men had an easier path to political leadership, and they also were more likely to say that having more female leaders would improve the quality of life for women. About three-quarters (73%) of women said it's easier for men to get elected to high political office, while 58% of men agreed. And 38% of women said that having more women in top political or business leadership positions would improve the quality of life for all women "a lot." Only half as many men (19%) agreed. There were similar differences by political party on this question, with more than twice as many Democrats (39%) as Republicans (17%) saying that having more women in high political office would improve the lives of women, while independents (28%) ranked in the middle.
2In 2015, there were 104 women in Congress, a record number representing 19% of all Senate and House seats. There was no overall consensus among the public in our survey on what holds women back from gaining top elective offices, though women were far more likely than men to cite societal and institutional factors as major reasons. About half (47%) of women said that a major reason there are not more women in top political offices is that female candidates are held to higher standards than men, compared with 28% of men who said so. Four-in-ten women (41%), compared with three-in-ten men (31%), said that a major reason for the lack of women in top political offices is that many Americans aren't ready to elect a woman to a higher office. And 33% of women, compared with 21% of men, said that females getting less support from party leaders is a major reason. Relatively small shares of men (15%) and women (18%) said that family responsibilities are a major reason that fewer women hold elective offices.
3There was a wide and consistent gender gap in opinions about the relative strengths of male and female political leaders on five attributes tested in our survey, though most men and women said there is no gender difference on these traits. One of the largest gender gaps was on the ability to work out compromises: 41% of women compared with 27% of men said women are better at this. Women also were more likely than men to say female leaders surpass men in being honest and ethical, working to improve quality of life for Americans, standing up for their beliefs despite political pressure, and being persuasive. The survey also asked about gender differences among leaders on various policy issues, and found less-pronounced differences among male and female respondents.
4There were generational differences among women in our survey on the attributes that a woman brings to political office. Younger women were less likely to give female leaders an edge over male leaders, and instead were more likely to say men and women are equally likely to possess certain traits. For example, when it comes to working out compromises, 33% of Millennial women and 37% of Generation X women said women are better than men, compared with about half of women from the Baby Boomer (47%) and Silent (50%) generations who said so. Asked about which gender is better at working to improve Americans' quality of life, only 22% of Millennial women and 24% of Gen X women said female leaders are better, compared with 39% of Baby Boomer women and 35% of Silent generation women who said so.
5In November 2014, before Clinton had declared her candidacy, Democrats were more enthused than Republicans about a potential female president. This partisan difference was bigger than the gender difference among survey respondents. Our survey question asked people whether they hoped a female president will be elected in their lifetime, or whether that did not matter to them. For many, the prospect of a Clinton presidency may have influenced their responses to this "hypothetical" question. Democratic women (69%) were the most likely to say they hoped a female U.S. president would be elected in their lifetimes, followed by Democratic men (46%) and independent women (45%). Among Republicans, fewer women (20%) and men (16%) said they hoped for this, as did about a third (32%) of independent men.

I would love to have a woman as President…just not Hillary! Her continual lying is frustrating for those of us who have listened to her lies, obfuscations, hurried back-tracking, stupid excuses, and extremely blank faced stares that she did "nothing wrong"! If it were our kids saying this, they would be grounded…just not Hillary. She was lucky that she was not killed when they landed someplace in the Middle East under heavy gunfire. Oh! That was another lie for all the world to see. Why do we excuse her when we would excoriate any Republican for the same thing. Do we want that liar to be elected just so we can say we have a woman as our President? Too bad the guys in Bengazi can't vote. I wonder what they would say! Get your act together America and evaluate her as who she really is instead of accepting her JUST because she is a woman! We are smarter than that….and we get what we pay for!
Usually your charts and infographics provide better detail of the numbers than your written summaries of each conclusion, which is fine because I love the charts on this site.
But I feel like without the chart, the written article skipped over some of the more specific results of the question relating to having more female leaders possibly improving the quality of life for women. To me, that is most interesting question on this page, I wish I could've seen more information regarding it.
Women in active politics, are mostly there because her husband or her father was in active politics before. By nature only a women can give birth to a child, taking care of it and creating a better life to it in the world. In politics too, if a women enters politics, she can lead lead a nation to a new way of life by creating history in all walks of life.
When Pew uses the word "gender", as seems to new way to speak since the HRC issued its directive back in 2010, does that mean that women and men were counted based on their "gender-indentity" instead of sex? And, if so, were the respondents aware that "women" could include men that became women, and vice versa? That could change the results. Curious because "gender" in older dictionaries is a grammatical term defining pronouns, not a word meaning someone's sex, so it is unclear what "gender" actually means. Perhaps someone at Pew can explain.
That's a completely off topic point. The .04% of Americans that identify as being transgender probably not going to cause a sway in the results of this or any other poll using the word gender. I'm astonished that even amongst liberal women only 69% felt passionately that they wanted to see a female in the office of President.

Hantsport's town council will have some more tough decisions to make come September.
The results of studies requested as part of the dissolution process, including a review of Hantsport's potential to operate as a village, are due Sept. 5.
The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (UARB) is asking town council to decide which neighbouring municipality the Haven of Hospitality should merge with by Sept. 30.
From there, negotiations will ensue if the chosen municipality is still interested in absorbing Hantsport. The final UARB hearing regarding the Town of Hantsport's dissolution application is expected to be held the first week of January 2015. Dissolution could occur by March 31, 2015 if the UARB approves the application filed in May.
At a regular monthly council meeting in Hantsport July 8, Mayor Robbie Zwicker said he feels it is time to start compiling "a bucket list" of asks to present to the municipalities of Kings and West Hants.
A letter of intent explaining town council's wishes for Hantsport moving forward will be sent to the potential receiving municipalities once a proposal is completed.
"I do think the timeline is very aggressive," said Coun. Faye Hill.
Zwicker listed the Hantsport Memorial Community Centre (HMCC) grounds as a priority.
Infrastructure upgrades, improvements to the funding formula for community partners such as HMCC, and continued investments in the community have also been identified as areas of importance.
The town will be sending out requests for proposals for studies focusing on financial and social impacts, infrastructure and governance as part of the dissolution application.
Additional studies on streets and roads, policing, bylaws, equalization, contractual obligations, human resources and water rates will also be completed.
The Town of Hantsport will be hosting its next public meeting on the topic of dissolution at the fire hall August 20 at 7 p.m.

More questions: 1. What about Highlighter and MoreLikeThis? They have not been converted. Also, what are they going to do if the attributes they need are not available? Caveat emptor? 2. Same for TermVectors. What if the user specifies with positions and offsets, but the analyzer doesn't produce them? Caveat emptor? (BTW, this is also true for the new omit TF stuff) 3. Also, what about the case where one might have attributes that are meant for downstream TokenFilters, but not necessarily for indexing? Offsets and type come to mind. Is it the case now that those attributes are not automatically added to the index? If they are ignored now, what if I want to add them? I admit, I'm having a hard time finding the code that specifically loops over the Attributes. I recall seeing it, but can no longer find it. Also, can we add something like an AttributeTermQuery? Seems like it could work similar to the BoostingTermQuery. I'm sure more will come to me. -Grant

August 12, 2008 in Seminars and Events (E)
[prMac.com] San Francisco, CA - Creative Inspirations: Big Spaceship, the fourth release in a new documentary series for lynda.com, makes its theatrical debut at the Flashforward Conference and Film Festival August 20th in San Francisco at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Screening Room.
The series focus is on creative people and companies, and tells the inside story of those who produce extraordinary work. This documentary takes viewers inside Big Spaceship, a leading digital agency, to hear them express their unique philosophy, how they engage clients, assign work, and even how they set up desks. The new documentary expands the traditional lynda.com focus from instructional content to include inspirational offerings and is perfectly suited to the Flashforward Conference and Film Festival.
"Nothing inspires creative people like other creative people," said Lynda Weinman, Founder of lynda.com. "Our goal is to inspire our subscribers by providing an inside look at the work, careers, and lives of top creative professionals. Big Spaceship is an extraordinary company that has set out to reinvent what it means to be creative, and we are thrilled to present them in our Creative Inspirations series."
The Big Spaceship documentary makes its theatrical premiere at the Zeum Theater during the Flashforward Opening Night party. The screening includes two repeating segments of a half hour each. The first segment includes highlights from the Creative Inspirations documentary, and the second segment marks the premiere of an entirely new lynda.com series called Start to Finish, the goal of which is to document the step-by-step creation of real world projects.
The premier installment of Start to Finish showcases the creation and animation process Big Spaceship used for their own logo featuring stop motion, practical effects, and digital effects. Creative Inspirations and Start to Finish were produced in HD by the special projects team at lynda.com including Scott Erickson, lead cinematographer/editor; Michael Anderson, cinematographer/editor; Gaea Klingberg, producer; and Billy Pittard, executive producer.
"This is an opportunity for Flashforward attendees to visit Big Spaceship - one of the most talked about, awarded, and innovative digital agencies - to see how they redefine the work in this space," said Beau Ambur, CEO Metaliq and Flashforward Conference and Film Festival. "Big Spaceship is rethinking how they do everything - they have a unique team structure, a seamless integration between strategy, design, and programming, and they all work very closely."
Tickets for the Flashforward Conference and Film Festival, which include the private screening of Creative Inspirations, can be purchased at the Flashforward website. Additional documentaries from the lynda.com series Creative Inspirations can be seen at her website.

In one inning, the Dominican Republic secured first place in Pool C and have advanced to round 2 in San Diego.
In a classic game through 10 innings, the Dominican Republic and Colombia battled back and forth. The Dominicans erupted for seven runs in the top of the 11th to dash the hopes of the Colombians. Both starters did well, keeping each team relatively at bay. Facing Colombian starter Nabil Crismatt, the Dominicans got things going early when Jose Bautista hit a sacrifice fly, bringing in Jean Segura, giving them a 1-0 lead. Colombia tied it up in the bottom half of the inning, against Wily Peralta when Giovanny Urshela singled in Reynaldo Rodriguez after he tripled. Both teams went down in order in the 2nd inning.
Manny Machado and Bautista both drove in runs in the 3rd inning, off of Crismatt, giving the Dominicans a 3-1 lead. That lead would stick until the 6th inning when Colombia dented the plate off a double from Mauricio Ramos, driving in Adrian Sanchez, cutting the Dominican lead to 3-2. The was turned on its head in the 8th when Colombian slugger Jorge Alfaro hit a homerun off Fernando Rodney, tying the game 3-3. After the Dominican Republic went down in order in the top of the 9th, Colombia had a chance to win Pool C with a walk-off win.
The first two Colombian hitters got on base. Donovan Solano grounded into a fielders choice, moving the game-winning run to third. On a 1-2 count, Reynaldo Rodriguez flew out to Jose Bautista in left field. Pinch runner Oscar Mercado tagged on the play and was thrown out at home. The throw from Bautista brought catcher Welington Castillo up the line and into the path of Mercado, tagging him in the process of the collision. The Colombian players went ballistic on home plate umpire Trip Gibson III. Both Rodriguez and Tito Palo were ejected during the confrontation. The game headed to extras tied at three.
The Dominican Republic threatened in the 10th, after a walk to Robinson Cano and a single by Bautista. With the go ahead run at third, Carlos Santana struck out swinging. Colombia went down in order in the bottom half of the inning. The new rule in the World Baseball Classic states that starting in the 11th inning, runners will be placed at first and second base to begin the inning. The 11th inning was where the action took place. The Dominicans struck for seven runs in that inning.
Mel Rojas Jr. put down a sacrifice bunt to move the runners over. Colombia intentionally walked Gregory Polanco, loading the bases and opening up the chance of a double play. Welington Castillo stepped up and smoked a single to left field, driving in two runs, giving the Dominicans a 5-3 lead. Jonathan Villar walked on five pitches to load the bases once again. Jean Segura blew the game wide open with a bases clearing double to centerfield, extending the Dominican lead to 8-3. Another run scored on a fielding error on a Robinson Cano hit. The final run of the inning crossed the plate on a Carlos Santana line drive single. The seven run inning put the game well out of reach. Colombia could get nothing done in the bottom half, going down in order and ending their chances of winning Pool C.
With the victory, the Dominican Republic sealed their place in San Diego as the Pool C winners and giving the United States control of their destiny. A loss to Canada would throw the tiebreaker scenarios into a frenzy between Canada, Colombia and the United States. The Dominican Republic have shown the rest of the world they are determined to keep their WBC crown and have no plans relinquishing it.

Upper School Teacher: Mathematics
PE Teacher, Grades 4-9
BA in Business at Texas A&M
My teaching experience began in the public school system having taught for eight years at the high school level. In 2005, I became part of the Covenant Academy family and during these years I have served in many ways, including room mom, volunteer, substitute teacher, and board member. Most recently I have joined the Upper School Math department and I absolutely love it. Math has always been my passion, and what I always knew I wanted to teach. It has been a joy for me to share that passion with the students at Covenant Academy.
My husband Stewart and I have been married for 21 years and we have three children, all who have been attending Covenant Academy since kindergarten. We have always been an active family, with the kids involved in volleyball, basketball, and track. I have been a runner since college, and recently completed the BCS and Houston half marathons. It had long been a dream of mine and I was beyond excited to accomplish these goals. I was fortunate to be able to share my love of running as track coach this past season.
