Wow, after reading Julie Hession's website, she appears to be quite the accomplished chef....now I don't feel so bad about losing against someone with such extensive culinary experience.....
And the finalists are.....
congrats to the finalists!
I was really impressed with a particular finalist's recipe, the lady from Las Vegas, because I live just outside of Vegas.....so I googled her name to see if she has a personal website or business in Vegas...many recipe contest finalists do....and I found that she owns and operates an upscale bakery/catering service in Vegas called Julie Anne's Bakery....here are the websites....
AND http://www.nevadafilm.com/list.php?CatID=26&SCatID=77
I wonder if that's the same Julie Hession....if it is, she has some big credits by her name as a culinary artist...like making a birthday cake for actress Jenna Fischer....looks like she'll be a great spokesperson for Sutter Home after she wins......lol
Congrats to the finalists, but I am confused--I thought the rules clearly stated that professional chefs/cooks or people who earn 75% or more of their income via culinary work are excluded from the competition? Maybe she only does this work part time, (if it is indeed her.)
After thinking about it, I am now wondering, too, if catering to a business or person with a liquor license breaks the rules, or if a contestant has to be an actual "employee" of said business.
Yes, this is the same Julie Hession from Las Vegas. There is a link from her web site to her personal blog "Peanut Butter and Julie", and it is the same photo of her. After reading about her, she has a Bachelors from UNLV in Hotel Management and Hospitality, and an MBA from Duke, so I'm sure she is well-versed in business law and can read and interpret the rules of this contest. While I love a good contest with tough competitors, this one goes way over the top for me. To call this contestant anything less than a food professional/chef would be an insult to her, but sadly I am sure that she has found some legal loop-hole in which she can "legally" compete in this competition. As for "morally" competing, that is another issue altogether in my opinion. I honestly feel sorry for the other finalists competing against her. She has already competed on the Food Network, and won, and she has won several other grand prizes in "amatuer" cooking competitions, so she has had plenty of pressure-cooking practice. I do hope that Sutter Home will re-word their rules for future contests to ensure that this contest stays a hearty contest for true amatuers. While Ms. Hession is a brilliant contestant in every aspect of the compliment, she is also a foods "professional" in every aspect of the definition. (And, no, she didn't go to culinary school, but neither did Rachel Ray!)
Gee...I've never heard of a sour grapes burger, but it appears to be a popular burger this year.
I'm amazing that all of the burger recipes have a large number ingredients (some quite expensive) and don't seem that they would be very easy to prepare. I wish they'd limit the ingredients on the burgers because I'd like to try making some of them but I get overwhelmed when I see such a long list of ingredients.
Can anyone provide me with venue info i.e. location address and time? TX
I too am very impressed with all the recipes and wish all the finalists luck in this competition. With that said, I personally know Julie Hession, and I feel compelled to clear up some confusing posts on her behalf. She did own a bakery, but it was sold several years ago, and it is now closed. The other website that you reference is not even finished. Yes, she does have a blog that is witty and informative; I have made several of her recipes. Julie is not a professional Chef, she is a free-lance writer and she is also very talented in the kitchen. She found no "loop hole" in the competition. She entered like every other finalist and went through the same process, with the same scrutiny as did everyone else. A quick Google search will tell you that there are other finalists who have culinary backgrounds or have won Food Network competitions. Previous contestants have won the Pillsbury Bake off, were cookbook authors, culinary school graduates, and chefs. There is nothing wrong with past wins and food experience. It doesn't make you professional--just good. To attack one's morality is just wrong and mean spirited. Before posting what you think are the "facts", you should really make that they are all accurate.
Again, I wish all of the finalist nothing but luck, as they all have a vast array of culinary experience.
Anissa, I am humbled and stand corrected. Thank you for clearing up the matter for me. May my compliment of Ms. Hession speak louder than anything else in my previous blog...."...Ms. Hession is a brilliant contestant in every aspect of the compliment.".....Good luck to ALL...sincerely.

There has been no shortage of surprises already in the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League, but which of the dark horses is best equipped to go the distance?
Such was the unpredictable nature of this season's group stage that three teams from Pot 4 of last August's draw negotiated their way to the round of 16. Borussia Dortmund did so most emphatically, finishing at the summit of Group D ahead of heavyweights Real Madrid CF, AFC Ajax and Manchester City FC. Wiser for last term's early exit, can Jürgen Klopp's side see off FC Shakhtar Donetsk and live up to their growing reputation as a good outside tip to lift the trophy at Wembley in May?
Málaga CF have been no less impressive, going undefeated en route to topping Group C on their maiden appearance in the competition. Will their inexperience prove telling, though? First up for Manuel Pellegrini's charges in the knockout stage are FC Porto. Celtic FC's progress to the last 16 also raised eyebrows, though Neil Lennon's team – now up against Juventus – will not be taken lightly having pipped SL Benfica to second spot in Group G.
Three clubs from Pot 3 are in the last 16 too. While Paris Saint-Germain FC and Juventus were widely fancied to get this far at least, Galatasaray AŞ did well to end up as runners-up in Group H. Buoyed by the January arrivals of Wesley Sneijder and Didier Drogba, can the Turkish title holders keep on upsetting the odds or will it be left to the likes of Málaga and Celtic to maintain the challenge of the underdog?

Stocks to Consider Post-SOTU
On Tuesday night President Obama delivered his 2013 State of the Union address, which mapped out a number of initiatives for the coming months and at least appeared to suggest that a smarter government would be better than a bigger one. I don't disagree that a smarter, more nimble organization is better than a bloated one. But, if we review the transcript of the address last night, we see the president then went on suggest greater government support for, if not intervention in, a number of areas -- education, immigration, jobs and the environment. It's difficult to see how Washington can cut spending and raise taxes while tackling all of those issues.
The key takeaway from the address is that, despite all of the talk, the political battleground over the sequestration and debt ceiling remain ahead of us. There were some bright spots in the speech, including Obama's proposal that we address aging infrastructure, as well as his discussion of the growing threat of cyber attacks....450 more words left in this article.

Making The Film
Everybody Promenade
When next you're in Iowa, head northwest to Nemaha- population 102. As you enter, a sign states - "Nemaha, A MIGHTY Small Town". Blocks later another sign boasts "Nemaha, Home of the Farmall Promenade". The Farmall Promenade is an eight member, all male troupe of farmers who, as four male-'female' square dancing couples, perform across the Midwest. They have a passion for the dance but this isn't your Grandpa's square dancing. They perform all the favorites while perched atop antique tractors. "Everybody Promenade" is a portrait of the Farmall Promenade- a group of friends who love performing but it is equally a portrait of a rural community struggling to keep farms solvent while keeping community ties strong. Grab your partner and join the dance.

A manager of a Colombian banana growers co-operative gave a moving presentation at a Fairtrade event in Keighley on Saturday.
Aimeth Fernandez spoke about the devastating impact 'banana wars' are having on the livelihood of hard-working farmers.
"She explained that by choosing Fairtrade, Keighley people can significantly improve the wellbeing of farmers' families and their communities," said Richard Dillon, an elected member of the Co-operative Group, which staged the event with Fairtrade Keighley.
The evening, at Central Hall in Alice Street, also featured tasting of Fairtrade wines from Argentina.
It was held to mark Fairtrade Fortnight, which runs until Sunday, and follows last year's awarding of Fairtrade Town status to Keighley.
Groups and businesses in Haworth are also celebrating the fortnight.
This weekend, Haworth Old Hall will be donating £1 per head for each one of its set menus ordered to a scheme called Toilet Twinning, which is designed to bring more clean water and safe sanitation to people in developing countries.
People interested in dining out for a good cause are asked to book in advance by calling Haworth Old Hall on (01535) 642709.
The Bronte Weaving Shed in North Street is holding a 'Tropical Party' on Saturday. Staff will dress up in bananas to promote the ethical sale of the fruit, and Fairtrade goods will be available to buy.
Main Street trader Rita Verity, of Haworth's Fairtrade group, thanked the businesses supporting the fortnight. She added Garstang resident Bruce Crowther, who founded the Fairtrade towns campaign, has been invited to visit Haworth this weekend.

Type • Eight-occupant gondola
Vertical rise • 2,472 feet
Number of runs • 14
Type • Eight-occupant gondola
Vertical rise • 2,472 feet
Number of runs • 14
Difficulty rating • Intermediate to advanced
Why try it • Whatever you like, you can find it in the bowl below
The ride • There are two ways to reach this high-speed detachable gondola, which services a bowl incorporated into the resort with the expansion for the 2002 Winter Olympics. The easiest approach is via Needles Express Gondola, which rises out of Snowbasin's base facility. Then it's an easy slide down Strawberry Traverse to the wide-open, largely intermediate area. It's also possible to get into Strawberry by taking Becker lift to lower Philpot Ridge.
Runs to try
Main Street • A classic intermediate run, never too steep but with enough turns, dips and doodles to make it appealing to more adventurous as well as cautious skiers and snowboarders.
Philpot Ridge • Drop in wherever you like off the ridge and you'll find fairly steep pitches with plenty of space for turns among scattered trees.
Sister's Bowl • The terrain beneath the chutes of Strawberry Peak is varied and challenging, from Twist & Shout through Moonshine Bowl to White Lightning.

By Craig LaRosa, firstname.lastname@example.com
A consumer walks into a store, tries on a pair of running shoes, and then hops online to buy them from someone else—10% to 15% cheaper. It's called "showrooming" and it has a lot of businesses scrambling.
Shoppers today are carrying around a multitude of competitors in their pocket. If they find something they like, they scan the barcode with their Smartphone and see who's offering it for less. And with Amazon prices sitting 9% to 14% lower than most traditional retailers, brick-and-mortar shops are losing market share. For now, online retailers have the added advantage of no sales tax in states where they don't have a physical presence (though a current bill in Congress may reverse the policy).
Consumers shop differently today and traditional retailers must adapt to stave off online competition or suffer further losses in revenue. It's not just specialty shops that fall prey to showrooming. Big-box retailers like Best Buy, Target and Wal-Mart are also feeling the pinch. Best Buy's first-quarter 2012 earnings are down 26%. In a call with investors, Best Buy's interim CEO Mike Mikan admitted that their customer experience "is no longer unique as it once was." Many speculate that showrooming was behind Target's decision to remove Amazon's Kindle product line from store shelves.
The solution for all retailers lies in bridging the value gap between online and in-store. It's not all about pricing, rather the solution requires boosting the value of the brick-and-mortar shopping experience. And it's not going to happen by making small tweaks. Delivering an in-store experience that will keep customers coming back for more requires all-out, customer-centered service innovation. Here's how some retailers are innovating their services and winning back customer loyalty in-store.
Cater to your best customers. Nordstrom targeted moms with comfortable nursing rooms and shoe-tying lessons for kids. At yoga gear store Lululemon, local stores hand-select brand ambassadors who represent the Lululemon lifestyle, creating a community of consumer partners who are constantly spreading the word. Retailers that laser in on their most influential demographic resonate with consumers.
Turn the store into an experience. Jordan's Furniture in Natick, MA isn't just about shopping, but about entertainment, with an animatronics show, food, and an IMAX Theater. It upped the ante for in-store shopping and closed the value gap of buying online.
Make shopping "smaller." Shoppers of massive big box retailer Wal-Mart are forced to navigate such cavernous stores—108,000 sq. ft. on average—that finding specific products can be difficult. This frustrating in-store experience can drive customers online to make purchases, finding exactly what they need and much faster than roaming through store aisles. To combat this, Wal-Mart added an in-store mode to its smartphone app which helps customers locate aisles for the items on their shopping list. They've also debuted Wal-Mart Express stores, which are significantly smaller at just 12,000 to 15,000 square feet.
Consider employees your biggest asset. Employees and the help they offer are the backbone of brick-and-mortar stores. Knowledgeable and friendly staff members create customer loyalty and keep shoppers coming back for the experience they can't receive online by clicking a button and adding an item to their virtual shopping cart. Wegmans, a supermarket chain with a loyal, cult-like following, counts on a high-quality workforce to extend its brand to customers. Wegmans invests heavily in its employees, even sending hundreds of staffers on trips around the world to become experts in their products. With dry goods becoming more readily available online, grocery stores can stave off showrooming by taking a page out of the Wegmans playbook.
Live in beta: test, be nimble. Before building a complex system, you need to build a prototype first. At Continuum, we call this "failing fast." If you design a 10,000-sq.-ft. mock-up of a hotel lobby, you make the intangible tangible, saving time and money before you build the real thing. Continuum regularly does this with Sprint, dropping life-size prototypes into a test store so consumers can "kick the tires" of an idea.
Execute as an organization. It takes an entire organization to truly innovate a service, not just the folks sitting in the c-suite. Involve representatives from every group, particularly those who interact directly with customers. With the international bank BBVA, Continuum brought branch managers together with executives and IT to create a seamless user-centered banking experience.
Specialty and big-box stores alike should take a cue from mom and pop shops by creating in-store experiences that add value and keep consumers coming back in for more. Online retailers can compete on price but they can't compete on a human-centered level. Stores that innovate around the customer experience will win out in the long run.
Craig LaRosa is a principal at Continuum, a global design and innovation consultancy. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Preview: Friday March 11, 2011 @ 5.30pm - 8.00pm Exhibition: Saturday March 12, 2011 - Saturday April 30, 2011 @ 11:00 - 19:00
Originating in the Soviet Union, Operational Art was adopted by the Western military in the 1980's and used in both Gulf Wars. So what can creative artists learn from these systems of destruction?
Facebook event: http://tinyurl.com/6y9cswx
"In our complex, networked culture, it's hard to see what's important and what's peripheral. What appears to be significant may be deceptive advertorial, misinformation, or just more media hype. Operational Art can help us think, plan and act smarter, especially when we can't see exactly what's going on. A highly effective Red Army doctrine, Operational Art was adopted by the British Army in the 1980's and was used in both Gulf Wars. So what can creative artists learn from systems of destruction? More than you might imagine."
Exhibition Preview & Artist Talk Friday 11th March 5.30-8.00pm - all welcome
Exhibition 12th March - 30th April
An Invasion of Ideas - a suggestion box using the entire city
* Get involved! Come to Access Space any time and learn to make origami tanks (see photo and video below).
* Your tank is an idea. What's written on the paper your tank is made of?
* Stage micro-invasions by deploying tanks in unexpected places which relate to your ideas.
Make the entire city a suggestion box using the origami tank as a metaphor: tanks can be used by governments to suppress freedom of ideas and freedom of speech. Here we ask you to use them as an agent of communication – and nobody gets hurt!
Operational Art Workshop Saturday 26th March 2pm Free - all welcome
A workshop on the ideas behind Operational Art and how to create things using these ideas. Also, bring a photograph of any environment and James will show you how to create digital camouflage for it…living room, office, supermarket, pub, bedroom, sub-Saharan battle zone, allotment, art gallery, you name it!
"The ideas behind Operational Art pre-date the 1920's, and, it emerges, are neither solely, nor most constructively, applicable to warfare. They represent highly effective ways to think and act in complex situations in which you need to get a job done when you aren't sure what is happening, you don't know what is significant, you may be weak or inadequately resourced, and there is something working against you.
This way of thinking and acting is evident in military writers throughout history. In the 1820's Carl von Clausewitz wrote On War, which is often cited as the origin of Operational Art, but Sun Tsu's The Art of War encapsulates key elements of Operational Art and was written in the fifth century BC. Even now The Art of War is used by business people in Japan as a guide to the strategy and tactics they may employ.
In preparation for this exhibition I have researched the latest military thinking. With its doctrine of openness, the US military in particular, is extraordinarily free with its ideas and information. Informed by genuine current doctrine and training materials, the action proposed will develop, activate and transmit ideas around Operational Art for personal empowerment.
The concept has been developed, and the installation of the exhibition will be undertaken, using operational procedures. It will make use of key military principals: Surprise, Simplicity, and Unity of Effort. The exhibition is a Combined Operation involving mixed media, found objects, text, photographs, research material, paintings and collectively made artefacts. "

Uncle Scrooge story from Donald Duck #26, 2010
Jan-Roman Pikula studied Art and Technology in his birthtown Enschede. After an apprenticeship at the art studio of the Dutch Donald Duck weekly in early 2006, he has been working for the magazine on a freelance basis.
cover illustrations for Donald Duck Extra 2009-12 and Donald Duck 2010-07
Pikula started out doing mainly illustrations for covers and the letterbox section, as well as short strips and gag pages with several of the Disney characters. In 2008 and 2009 he has drawn many comic stories for the younger brother of the Donald Duck weekly, Donald Duck Junior, from scripts by Jos Beekman, Jim van der Weele and Bas Schuddeboom.
Mickey & Goofy from Donald Duck Junior #2, 2010 (H 29385)
Since then, he has drawn more comic stories for the weekly from various scriptwriters (Jan Kruse, Frank Jonker, Gaute Moe, etc.). He is the regular artist of sections like the 'Uit het Handboek van de Jonge Woudlopers' and 'Willie's Wereld'.
Riddle comic 'De Ontsnapping van Boris' (H 29384, Donald Duck 2009-42)
He has also drawn several installments of the 'Mickey Lost 't Op' riddle comic, written by Jos Beekman, Ferdi Felderhof or Bas Schuddeboom and Esther Holtkamp, often with guest performances from the classic Gottfredson characters.

Braves' focus is on the field as Deadline nears
LOS ANGELES -- Like fans, many baseball players have spent the past few days keeping up with trade rumors involving Jon Lester and a significant portion of the Phillies' roster. But Freddie Freeman said he has not allowed himself to be consumed about what the Braves might do before Thursday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline.
"We've got enough to worry about, going out there three hours every night and trying to win ballgames," Freeman said. "That's what [the front office's] job is. Our job is to be on the field and go out there and play hard every night. I keep hearing lefty arm. Whatever happens, happens. We'll welcome that person if he comes. If not, we'll go out there and keep doing what we're doing and keep trying to win ballgames."
Assembled at Turner Field this week, Braves general manager Frank Wren and many of his top scouts have continued to prioritize finding a left-handed reliever. Red Sox southpaw Andrew Miller, who has limited left-handed hitters to a .206 on-base percentage, sits at the top of Atlanta's wish list.
But because a number of other clubs are showing interest in Miller, the Red Sox's asking price may be more than what the Braves are willing to part with.
Because the Braves went over budget when they gave Ervin Santana a $14.1 million contract in March, they are not in a position to take on any more salary this year. Thus, in order to get other clubs to agree to pay the remainder of a player's salary, the Braves will likely have to provide a more significant return in terms of prospects.
While finding a lefty reliever has stood as the highest priority, the Braves have looked at the possibility of acquiring a veteran pinch-hitter to strengthen their anemic bench. Both of these areas of need might be addressed in August when clubs can acquire players who have passed through waivers.
Many of the daily conversations Wren and manager Fredi Gonzalez have shared over the past couple of weeks have included ways they could improve the club via trade. But Gonzalez seemed to understand there is a possibility that Thursday's deadline will pass without a deal being done.
"We're who we are and we're [one game] behind the Nationals in our division," Gonzalez said. "So, you feel like you have a pretty good club. Yeah, you always want to improve, but you never want to take away from your own club if you can [avoid it]. We could get a piece here or a piece there. We'll see."

Starting a car club is no easy feat. You have to find prospective members that share the same passion for cars that you have, and they must also be as dedicated as you are to making the club prosper. Along with those qualifications, potential members must also have a drive and a willingness to do whatever it takes to make the club successful and evolve. Longevity is probably the most sought after goal of new clubs, however, it is also the toughest goal to achieve. Often times, the energy and excitement of a new club levels off, making it the responsibility of the club's officers to keep the members motivated and active.
In 1979, twin brothers John and James Rodriguez came together with some friends and fellow Lowriding enthusiasts to start their own car club. Reality Car Club was formed in Baldwin Park, California with the concept of bringing like-minded people together to enjoy car shows, cruise nights and community service activities. Reality Car Club was also founded with the hope of breaking the negative stereotypes associated with Lowriding at the time.
Reality Car Club enjoyed a huge amount of success as a club during the 1980's, as the club was regularly attending the biggest car shows and cruising all of the most popular cruising spots in the Lowrider scene. The club was also contributing to the community by hosting car shows to raise funds for local schools and clubs. They would also assist local charitable organizations, raising hundreds of dollars and a ton of resources with their "Toys for Tots" drives. Membership and club participation was at an all time high in the 1980's, and the mission of Reality Car Club seemed to have come to fruition. Things would soon take a negative turn, however.
In the early 90's, the longevity of Reality Car Club was put to the ultimate test. Tough times saw the once booming club membership down to five members, and low morale left those five considering shutting down the club altogether. Robert Zamora, who was Club President at the time, decided that even though the club membership was dwindling, Reality Car Club was not going to fold under his leadership. Robert and his car, a 1979 Cadillac Coupe De Ville called "Prophecy," led the charge and helped bring the club out of the 90's slump. There may have only be one or two cars flying the Reality plaque for a while, but the club members flew the plaque proudly and made sure Reality was still seen at the hottest and biggest shows and cruising spots of that era.
Fast forward to 2009, and it's easy to see that the era of having only one or two Reality Car Club Lowriders on display at shows is thankfully long gone. The club is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and is still the one-chapter club that the Rodriguez brothers envisioned back in 1979. There are even four members who have been in the club for over 20 years. The club is still very active, not only in Lowriding, but in serving the communities of the San Gabriel Valley, where the club members call home. After 30 prosperous years in Lowriding, it's safe to say that Reality Car Club is definitely here to stay.
Reality Car Club currently has a wide variety of vehicles representing the club, giving them a very diverse lineup. This club has a little bit of everything, including a 1939 Chevy, a 1980 Cadillac, and even a 1984 Nissan truck. Club spokesman Andy Rivera owns one of the more unique rides that fly the Reality plaque. In 1980, Andy's father bought him a 1965 Chevy Malibu SS. Andy's brother Gary helped him rebuild the motor, refresh the transmission, and tune the car to the point that it was a reliable machine. A year later, he reupholstered the interior and had the car painted. Andy has redone the car multiple times over the years, and is now ready for a new project; he is currently building a 1972 Chevy Impala that will be a Reality club staple in the very near future.
Reality Car Club member Carlos Herrera, aka "Papa-Los," is the proud owner of a 1956 Chevy Bel Air four-door sedan. Carlos' friend Steve Hallot had the Bel-Air sitting in his driveway, and even though the car was old, dirty, dented and rusted, Carlos could still see the beauty and potential in it. After talking Steve into selling him the car, Carlos brought it home. Needless to say, Carlos' wife Diane was not happy to see the eyesore that her husband had not only parked in their driveway, but had apparently paid good money for as well. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Carlos remained true to the potential of what he had envisioned the car would look like when it was finished. Carlos and his daughter, Janeece, went to work immediately, taking the whole car apart. Carlos and his friend, Robert Pineda, then pulled the motor out so that it could be completely rebuilt. When the motor was ready, Carlos picked it up after work, and had it back in the car and running by midnight. Much to his delight, the project was moving along quickly. After Carlos and his son David prepped the body, Carlos' friend Mel Hernandez painted the car in a matter of hours. Carlos' initially skeptical wife Diane could see the hard work Carlos had put into the car, and was not only proud of him, she was also very happy to see the once-rough car turn into Carlos' dream car.
Although the club has no plans on building a "Lowrider of the Year" contender, it does not mean that they do not have the types of show cars that can live up to that same level of quality while up on the jack stands. A force to be reckoned with, Reality has intricately built custom cars that have full chrome and detailed undercarriages, as well as fully restored original classics. The club remains true to the Lowrider lifestyle as they maintain that regardless of how much work and money has gone into building the cars, they are all still heavily street driven. Reality travels all around the Southern California area, and on occasion to Northern California as well to attend car shows and club picnics.
Thanks to the longevity that the club has enjoyed, the next generation of the club has already been introduced to Lowriding. Club members' children and grandchildren have been part of the club since birth, and are now at an age where they are ready to add the Reality plaque to their own rides. The success of the club can also be credited to the support of the members' families. Without the support of their families, it's clear that the club would not be where it is today. Family members lend a helping hand in many ways, such as helping to set up and clean the cars at shows, or cheering as loudly as possible when a club car wins a trophy. As is the case with other clubs that have been profiled in the magazine, the members of Reality credit their families for their individual success, as well as the success of the club.
The club's outlook for the future is bright, as they hope to find fellow Lowriding enthusiasts that can add to the success of the club by bringing in good quality rides and a positive attitude into the tradition that has served the participating members for the past three decades. Many friendships have been born as a result of the club, and the club hopes that the next 30 years will bring new friendships, new rides and a positive image for the Lowriding culture that they love. Given the success of the first 30 years, it will be no problem for Reality Car Club to continue to contribute to the positive image and longevity of the Lowrider Culture. Ride on, Reality!

My takeaway: If the two dozen people who attended are an accurate snapshot of the discord that the district has faced - and still faces - in the wake of Karyle Green's departure, then it's going to take more than a few meetings to solve the issues that forced the board into the search process in the first place.
Why? Because not a single person who spoke at the meeting was happy about Green's tenure, which ended March 1.
Whether blame could or should be assigned to the departed superintendent for those feelings...with a large district that has EACS' unique challenges, it's likely not that simple, and Green certainly was not present to discuss comments made about her tenure.
But at the same time, there's no reading between the lines when you have statements like these made by taxpayers in the district:
*"(EACS is) such a diverse district that has been fragmented to the point that we're almost like five little districts."
*"The detached, aloof mentality (under Green) has hurt this district."
*"There are too many winners and losers (from) students and taxpayers."
*"It's not about the buildings. It's how you treat people."
*(On EACS' failed 2012 referendum): "That thing was dead in the water."
About a few of those sentiments: Karyle Green didn't hire herself. The East Allen County Schools board did, bringing her in from the South Bend Community School Corporation in mid-2009 to replace the retiring Kay Novotny.
The relationship between board and superintendent is crucial, and cracks began to show as early as 2010 when Green and the district were forced to address the potential takeover of Harding High School after years of academic woes - woes that predated Green's arrival and certainly were not a revelation to members of the board.
The district then embarked upon a series of redesign measures that included closing multiple schools and creating distinct feeder areas in its five attendance areas - measures that had to be modified once the board opted to take the proposed $89 million renovation of New Haven Intermediate School (at the current site of Park Hill Learning Center), as well as additions at New Haven High School to accommodate seventh- and eighth-graders and renovations at the former Harding High, to a referendum.
That "dead in the water" referendum was soundly defeated at the polls, rejected by 64 percent of voters.
To be clear: None of those things happen without board approval. Green's leadership style certainly wasn't praised by anyone at the meeting, but at the same time, she did not have the authority to independently pursue those controversial projects. She presented options, and the board had to decide whether to accept those or ask for others.
Education is a difficult business - sometimes, it's downright ugly - and hindsight will forever be 20-20. But the divisions between the East Allen constituents can't simply be laid at Green's feet, moving forward. Nor can EACS' woes - perceived or real - be shifted to "the press (that) paints us in a bad light, no matter what we do," as Baker said - because not a single thing I've written in this column is under my or any other media members' authority to address or fix.
The criticisms brought forth by those at Wednesday's meeting weren't about media coverage. They were about EACS' interactions with people.
The responsibility to address those lies with residents in the district and the EACS board - with the previous version of that body singled out in a "district climate survey" conducted by Daryl Yost, a former EACS superintendent, for giving the perception that board members represented their individual districts first instead of meeting the needs of the district.
Nelson - one of three new members of the board, along with Baker and Arden Hoffman, after last fall's elections - spoke candidly about the challenges that the board faces in moving forward.
"I think the board has to start the process of uniting. We are where it all starts," Nelson said. "I think it will take as long as the members of the board allow it to take, and we've had some open and frank meetings about that."
"We can still have our community identities. We should embrace those things. But the board has to look at the bigger picture and do what's best for the district. We have to do what's best for the students."
If that is what EACS does in moving forward, then it is entirely possible that while not everyone will agree with every move made by the district, a new superintendent will be able to serve the board, the district staff and the community equally and well.
Time, as always, will tell.

These are a few of the arrowheads and other items my grandfather had found over his many years spent as a farmer in Kansas. These were passed down to me. I previously posted some other of these items, but wanted to show this framing I did today of several more. There is what I suspect is a medicine pouch, several arrowheads including very small birdpoints, some small spearheads, some beads, and other items here. I placed a quarter in a couple of the photos for sizing purposes. I really like the beads on the leather medicine pouch. Hope you enjoy seeing this. Any additional information anyone has about these items is appreciated as I would like to know more about it.

Smoking and Tobacco
Hi, i`m wondering if their is any rehab classes you can take for nicotine and if so what are they?
Yes, there are tobacco cessation classes available locally throughout the state of Ohio -- although much of their funding has been cut off by the governor and the legislature. Three possible resources:
1) Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (800-784-8669).
2) Try your local hospital.
3) Call the American Lung Association 1-800-548-8252 or use their online "Freedom From Smoking" service: http://www.ffsonline.org/.
Also, consider talking with your doctor. He or she will have prescription medication that has been proven to work.
Set a quit date -- your child's birthday, a wedding or death anniversary, independence day -- something significant -- and see your doctor in advance.
Good luck. There is truly nothing you can do that will have more benefit to your health than quitting smoking.
Additional Information from Dr. E. Jones:
I am not aware of "rehab" classes; however, the American Cancer Society and the American Lung Association should have classes. Most hospitals now have some type of program, and some treatment centers for alcohol and drugs may have some as well.
Hope this helps.

How do moose cross the road in Vermont? That's a question the National Wildlife Federation's Northeast Regional Center is helping answer through the "Critical Paths" Project.
Working with NWF's state affiliate, the Vermont Natural Resources Council, as well as the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, Vermont Agency of Transportation, and U.S Forest Service, Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forest, NWF is studying the best places for corridors to help wildlife have room to roam.
Currently, the Critical Paths Project has identified 11 priority zones out of the 38 wildlife crossings along the spine of Vermont's Green Mountains. Once the priority zones are identified, we then work with transportation officials to implement practical solutions that help reconnect habitat and protect wildlife.
Download this PDF >>
The project uses a combination of cutting-edge computer modeling and good old fashion on-site field work to determine where bottlenecks and impermeable crossings exist that can impede the free movement of animals.
National Wildlife Federation worked with a team of state biologists and conservation organizations to identify 11 critical "Priority Crossing Zones" along the spine of the Green Mountains that are essential to south-north wildlife movement.
The researchers assessed the physical features of the crossings and the natural features of adjacent landscapes. They also tracked and monitored wildlife movement patterns at each crossing over an extended period of time.
We're working with resource professionals, transportation experts and local citizens to develop key strategies to make Vermont's roads safer and improve wildlife habitat connectivity.
These strategies include:
As wildlife habitat comes under increasing pressure from road development and climate change, the work of the Critical Paths Project will help enhance migration pathways, strengthen wildlife populations, and reduce animal-vehicle collisions.
Since 1970, the Northeast has been warming at a rate of 0.5 degrees F per decade, with winter temperatures rising 1.3 degrees F per decade. This warming trend is changing the vegetation and the migratory behavior of animals.
Species that survive in northern temperate climates are moving farther north to find suitable habitat and sources of food that no longer exist where they are. They are encountering roads all along the way.
In a warming world, connecting migratory corridors for wildlife is more crucial than ever.
The Critical Paths Project was made possible with funding from the Wildlife Conservation Society, Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife and generous donations from individuals.
You can help us protect wildlife from habitat fragmentation and other threats. Please support our work today >>

As the first nutrition director for the Hass Avocado Board, Nikki Ford plans to spearhead research into how avocado consumption can help people with weight management and weight loss.
The Irvine, Calif.-based board added the nutrition director position to its staff to help execute its long-term commitment to help generate scientific substantiation of the nutritional benefits of avocados to help increase consumption, executive director Emiliano Escobedo said in a news release.
Ford has worked as a researcher for more than a decade. Most recently she worked for the Dell Pediatric Research Institute in Austin, Texas. She has a doctorate in nutritional sciences from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a bachelor's degree in animal bioscience from Pennsylvania State University.
The board has ongoing research in the areas of cardiovascular health, weight management, diabetes and healthy living, Escobedo said in the release. Ford said in the release she plans to review the board's research efforts to determine which has the greatest potential for early studies and what types of barriers must be overcome before more intricate studies can be done.

Another Hit to Retail Investor Confidence
The story of the day is clearly Hewlett-Packard (HPQ).
The details are coming fast and furious, but for a company the size of HPQ with so many bankers and audit firms surrounding the $10 billion deal to buy Autonomy, the biggest question is "how?" How did this happen? On the surface, this story may look like it really only impacts HPQ, but this will further raise the suspicions and doubts of the retail investor. Did HPQ and the banks all get snookered? Did HPQ simply not care? Did the banks know and not care as long as they were getting paid? Does any of it matter?

Forget those teen hedonists on Gossip Girl and bring on the wholesome adolescent Wonder Years, which is finally available for streaming after years of fan requests. The sitcom, which aired in the late eighties and early nineties, is narrated by older Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage), who provides voiceover stories about his adolescent years in the late sixties and early seventies (Daniel Stern provided the voice of older Kevin). Your kids will love watching Kevin's fond childhood memories, and you'll get to spend time with the Arnolds again.
Appropriate for ages: 10 and up
If you found last year's 3-D motion capture feature film adaptation of the classic French comic books about Belgian reporter Tintin and his faithful pup Snowy a little lackluster (sorry, Steven Spielberg), cue up the animated cartoon that aired in the early nineties.
Appropriate for ages: 3 and up

WINFIELD – Boyd Harper, 58, remembers attending the annual Putnam County Homecoming when he was growing up in Red House, back when the politics-and-parade event was "a big deal."
"God knows how many people were there," Harper said. "It could have been 15,000." Pat Woodrum, 77, said her husband's great aunt, Nora Miller, helped start Homecoming on her front lawn, across from the old county courthouse in Winfield where the event has recently been held. She said she remembers it began as a way for the local Methodist church to bring back those who had moved away. The event also gave politicians a chance to shake a lot of hands.
But despite Putnam's large population increases in recent decades, including 30 percent growth between 1990 and 2010, Harper and Woodrum said attendance at Homecoming, now in its 85th year, has dwindled. But no one interviewed could say exactly by how much.
Organizers say competing weekend distractions from the Internet and the interstate have dropped participation. They also blame another trend common to communities across the nation – decreasing membership in civic organizations – for local Lions clubs' inability to handle the event alone and attract young people. Woodrum said many Lions Club leaders, like her husband, Joe, have died off in the past decade.
Bancroft Mayor George Woodrum, president of the Hometown Lions Club and no relation to Pat Woodrum, said Putnam Lions clubs have hosted the event for the past 25 years, after taking over from the Winfield Volunteer Fire Department. He said the Poca, Eleanor and Hurricane clubs have now all disappeared, leaving only the Hometown, Winfield and Scott Teays chapters.
"It's just got old, and complacent," he said. "... The committee has shrank to the point where there's only two or three or four of us that do it."
This year, however, the City of Winfield is partnering with Lions Club organizers and others to revitalize Homecoming.
Organizers are planning to reintroduce discontinued attractions at the Sept. 13-14 event, like a 5K run, a car show and arts and crafts. They're also considering possibly new attractions, though it's hard to tell what hasn't been tried before in a event that began in 1929.
Ideas include a "battle of the bands" among the four county high schools, a barbecue cookoff, a talent show and music acts that aren't in the country, gospel, bluegrass arena -- though Winfield Mayor Randy Barrett said the band surely won't be heavy metal.
The car show this year is more specifically dubbed a cruise-in, said Jim Winter, because the there won't be prizes awarded and, thus, egos bruised.
"I asked the mayor, 'How many people do you want to make mad that day?'" Winter said, adding that the judging required for competitive car shows also complicates things.
Winter, vice president on the board of directors for the annual Charleston Rod Run & Doo Wop, said the cruise-in, to be held in the former Food King parking lot, will simply invite people with vintage cars for a friendly time.
"We encourage the public to come through and look at the cars and reminisce," he said.
Harper, a member of the Scott Teays Lions Club, said organizers are also considering opening the event to food vendors from nonprofits other than the Lions Clubs. He noted that blue laws used to stop restaurants from opening on Sunday, but now the event food, profits of which are supposed to support the community, must compete with the nearby McDonald's and Subway. Barrett said he's in favor of opening up to even commercial vendors.
Barrett said the organizers have agreed to recenter events on Main Street, where he said Homecoming was at its best. Homecoming has recently been centered on the hill where the old and new county courthouses are located, he said.
The organizers may still need to iron out some differences, though. Barrett said that while a longtime tradition may continue with candidates like U.S. Senate hopefuls Shelley Moore Capito and Natalie Tennant taking part in the parade, he wants to nix the usual time set aside for politicians to speak. He said people don't want to listen to their speeches anymore.
"If we don't have a spot for them, I'm not going to worry about it," the Winfield mayor said.
Even in 1986, a Gazette article on Homecoming noted the "crowd had dwindled to several hundred by the time the congressional candidates took the microphone."
But George Woodrum, the Bancroft mayor, told the Gazette the politicians will speak. He said it's a tradition that won't change "unless Homecoming is moved to Ohio or Kentucky."
Organizers have begun holding meetings every two weeks at Winfield City Hall to discuss their ideas.
"We've got a lot more people working on it now," George Woodrum said. "But hopefully with all of them involved, they stay involved, and we can hopefully make a new beginning."
The money the Lions clubs raise from the event will go toward helping low-income individuals see and hear, in part through purchasing eyeglasses and hearing aids. Barrett said people with ideas for Homecoming should call Winfield City Hall at 304-586-2122.
"We're just out here to bring it back," he said.

As an editor of The Tower literary magazine, I would normally hesitate in writing about Night of the Arts. As much as I love the event, there is the possibility that my praises are biased. But this year, my "bias" seems to be shared by the OU community at large.
NOA, as we've started calling it, is an annual event held by The Tower to showcase the artistic talents of the OU community. In the past, we've held the event in Emerson; this year, with the new campus center construction underway, we moved to Lupton Auditorium, and students welcomed the change.
"It was bigger than ever," said audience member Bethany Booth '13. "The change of venue made it much better and clearer and the performances were lovely."
"Night of the Arts is one of my favorite Oglethorpe traditions," added Tes Beals '13. "It was the first event I was able to take my family to as a freshman…(and) it really showcases our student body's unique talents and the creativity that we all possess."
As always, getting everything ready for NOA was an ordeal, but my fellow 'tri-editors,' Caitlyn Mitchell '13 and Lindsey Mitchell '13, agree that the results made the hard work worthwhile.
"This year was really encouraging—the biggest turnout we've ever had—which is a really positive indication of The Tower's growth," said Caitlyn. " After resurrecting The Tower two years ago, it's been an uphill battle to get (it) back on its feet, and it's good to know hard work is paying off and that people are getting more involved with and aware of the arts."
Also celebrating this increased awareness is Dr. Hornback, who spoke about how essential the arts are, and how we are in danger of losing many potential great artists because of funding cuts for art programs across the country. It was a sobering moment among the festivities, but a crucial one, highlighting the importance of those performers on stage.
People of various backgrounds and interests joined together to create a stellar array of acts. Some of their performances included spoken word, piano performance, and vocals. Audience members really seemed to enjoy what they were watching—some even chose to participate!
"My favorite thing about this Night of the Arts was the involvement that we were able to enlist from the audience," said Lindsey. "This year we really hit on a theme that many people could enjoy. We had our first impromptu dance routine and people from the audience actually joined in!" That dance, The Time Warp, was a perfect fit with our theme of Cult Cinema.
Out of everything that night, there is only one thing I would change—there were so many people attending that we ran out of cake pops (a complimentary snack for attendees) before I had the chance to eat one!
Night of the Arts is becoming a true work of art in its own right, and it's thanks to the OU community, that the arts are allowed to flourish. Thank you to SGA for funding this event, to our advisor Dr. Taylor for supporting us, to The Tower staff for all your hard work and dedication, and to everyone who performed, assisted, and watched. It's all thanks to you that Night of the Arts was such a success.
If you are interested in being published by The Tower (the literary magazine responsible for Night of the Arts), send submissions with your name, email, and phone number to Secretary Caitlyn Mitchell at firstname.lastname@example.com or to email@example.com. The cut-off for submissions is tomorrow, October 26th!

Digital Video and HD: Algorithms and Interfaces (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics)
Digital Video and HD: Algorithms and Interfaces (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics)
Rapidly evolving computer and communications technologies have achieved data transmission rates and data storage capacities high enough for digital video. But video involves much more than just pushing bits! Achieving the best possible image quality, accurate color, and smooth motion requires understanding many aspects of image acquisition, coding, processing, and display that are outside the usual realm of computer graphics. At the same time, video system designers are facing new demands to interface with film and computer system that require techniques outside conventional video engineering.
Charles Poynton's 1996 book A Technical Introduction to Digital Video became an industry favorite for its succinct, accurate, and accessib

Coming to You Wherever You Are: MuchMusic, MTV, and Youth Identities (Music Culture)
MTV Networks is the undisputed international music video gatekeeper, with stations from Australia to India, Russia to Brazil. Canada is one of the few countries to resist its global reach. Although the network has launched "MTV Canada" with an affiliate, that station limits its offerings primarily to talk shows and lifestyle programming. Many Canadians regard the Toronto-based MuchMusic as the nation's important domestic source of music videos–substantially different from, and superior to, American-based MTV. In her new study of the two music channels and their different cultures, Kip Pegley compares the musical and extra-musical content of MuchMusic and MTV, and examines how the stations construct their two distinct identities.

No great composer's story is more predominantly happy than Haydn's, though even his has its share of clouds. A classic rags-to-riches tale, it sees him move from humble beginnings through decades as a liveried servant to his emergence as the most popular and successful composer of his time. One of the healthiest and least neurotic artists in musical history, he did more than any other single figure to pioneer the symphony, the piano sonata and the string quartet - and he was the first truly great practitioner of each. Brilliant, strikingly original and blessed not only with genius but an infectious sense of humor, he was also profound and modest, and his music, copiously illustrated here, has brought happiness and illumination to millions.

Could Turn Out Quite Well for IBM
Back in the summer, I gave you a heads-up in IBM (IBM) -- at the time, I was starting to stalk it on the buy side due to some weekly price support parameters. Now that the stock is testing and holding above this key support decision, I'd like to walk you through some thought processes on how to trade it. You may choose to use different information from what I present here, depending on what time frame you are trading -- but if you are looking at the bigger picture, where IBM may really have some value, you should focus on the weekly parameters.
To recap what I've been watching, the current setup on the weekly chart has everything to do with symmetry, or the similarity of some of the prior major declines in this stock. For IBM, these are only really visible on the weekly chart, and I have illustrated them below....563 more words left in this article.

Fall Career Fair Features New Companies and Veteran Recruiters
September 23, 2013—
With 264 companies registered for the Fall Career Fair on Tuesday, Sept. 24, their 900 recruiters run the gamut from new to returning to never-miss-a-fair.
Among the new companies, according to Jim Turnquist, director of Career Services, is Chevron. Although they have recruited and hired on their own on campus, this year they've joined the Career Fair and expanded their search.
"In the past, they focused on geology, but this year they are looking for many different engineering fields: chemical, civil, electrical, environmental, mechanical," Turnquist says. "That's a big plus."
Back after a hiatus from recruiting is Procter and Gamble. They are scouting for chemical, electrical and mechanical engineers. "This is fantastic," Turnquist says.
A new company to the fair is Tata Motors, India's largest auto manufacturer. "They have an IT branch, called Consultancy Services, which is also huge," he explains.
Old favorites like Dow Chemical have increased their presence. Instead of a couple of interview rooms, they've reserved eight for the day after the fair.
Turnquist says the Career Fair has grown into a week-plus of activities in both the fall and spring semesters. Interview skills training and resume blitzes have already started, and fair week has numerous events:
- Chrysler and GM both have ride and drive events planned. Chrysler's Sunday Copper Harbor trips are filled. GM's ride and drives target both faculty/staff and students.
- The Society of Women Engineers is hosting an Evening with Industry, where recruiters can meet with students before the fair. It is scheduled for 5:15 p.m., Monday, Sept. 23 in the Memorial Union Ballroom.
- More than 40 company information sessions are scheduled for Monday evening. "And these companies are looking for people," Turnquist says. "They are looking to hire.
The University Department Information Fair (Meet the Faculty) will be held from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Tuesday at the fair. Academic and administrative departments can meet with company representatives.
- Center for Diversity and Inclusion Corporate Reception—Corporations can meet with students from organizations such as the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), Out in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (oSTEM), American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES), and more. The event is scheduled for 6 to 7:45 p.m. at the Hamar House Tuesday, Sept. 24.
- Railroad Information Night is 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24 in the Douglass Houghton Hall Ballroom. The Railroad Engineering and Activity Club and Tech's Rail Transportation Program bring together students and railroad industry representatives.
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

WordPress.com Stats lets you know how many visits your site gets, and what posts and pages are the most popular.
There are many plugins and services that provide statistics, but data can be overwhelming. WordPress.com Stats makes the most popular metrics easy to understand through a clear and attractive interface. Plus, you can use WordPress.com stats in conjunction with other analytics plugins and services.
In this support doc, you can find:
- How to view your stats from your dashboard.
- Additional stats you can view on WordPress.com.
- Troubleshooting information and FAQ.
Viewing your stats
Stats are automatically enabled when you activate and connect Jetpack to WordPress.com — no additional setup required!
You can view your stats in a number of different ways using Jetpack. On your main dashboard screen, you can enable the Site Stats widget for your homepage to give you at-a-glance site views.
To add this widget to your dashboard, open your Screen Options tab and check the Site Stats box.
Then you can see your site visits, most viewed pages, and search terms people used to find your site at a glance.
Getting more in-depth stats from your dashboard is as easy as going to the Jetpack menu. There, you'll find a brief overview of your stats, as well as two links:
- "View Old Stats" allows you to view your stats within your dashboard. On this page, you'll find information about Referrers, Top Posts & Pages, Search Engine Terms, Subscriptions, and Clicks.
- "View More Stats on WordPress.com" allows you to access your site's advanced stats on WordPress.com. There you'll find even more details about visitors, including Views By Country, Unique Views, as well as many more insights about your site.
You can also look at stats per day, week, and month. Find out even more about WordPress.com Stats — including what we don't track — on the WordPress.com documentation page.
Note: Jetpack stats does not track or show you Totals, Followers, and Shares on your stats page.
Troubleshooting information and FAQ
Can I use other analytics services (like Google Analytics) with WordPress.com stats?
Yes! You can use both on your WordPress installation. The benefit of using WordPress.com Stats is that you can see a snapshot of your blog's activity right from your dashboard. If you want to use another analytics service to give you additional in-depth information, you can certainly do so.
The Stats module is active, but no visits are being recorded anymore.
Jetpack, like many other plugins, uses a function called
wp_footer() to insert elements like a Stats tracking code to your site's footer. This function has to be added to your theme's
footer.php file, right before the closing
</body> tag. You can read more about it here.
If you've recently edited that file, you'll want to make sure the
wp_footer() function is still there.
If it is there, you'll want to check for other code you may have added to your theme (like in your sidebar for example) that may break everything that comes after.
I'm a Contributor, Writer or other non-Admin role on the site and now can't see stats.
Ask the Admin on the site to go to Dashboard>Settings>Traffic>Site Stats and enable stats viewing for the other roles on the site.
My stats are at zero and I lost all my followers!
There's no need to fear, Jetpack is here! We can help reconnect you to your missing stats and followers — please visit this page for more information.
Can I transfer my followers from WordPress.com to my new Jetpack site?
Yes! Please see this support document for details.
I just moved my followers from WordPress.com to Jetpack and the stat counts are different. Why?
On WordPress.com, your WordPress.com followers and email followers are counted separately. This means that one person can follow your site on the Reader and receive email notifications when you make a new post which would count them on both lists. On Jetpack, that same follower would only be counted once under WordPress.com Followers on your My Followers list.
Why aren't my site visits updating? I know people are visiting the site!
WordPress.com stats aren't updated in real time, but updated periodically throughout the day. If you see a problem with your stats not updating, please contact support here.
How do I get more traffic?
We have a few tips for attracting more visitors to your site.

Top prospect Taylor still in play for AFL
SAN DIEGO -- The Brewers have secured outfield as their priority position in the Arizona Fall League, perpetuating the possibility that top prospect Tyrone Taylor could be ticketed for a spot when rosters are announced, which could happen as early as Tuesday.
Taylor, 20, ascended to the top of MLB.com's list of the Top 20 Brewers prospects after right-hander Jimmy Nelson graduated to the Major Leagues. A second-round Draft pick in 2012, Taylor is batting .275 with six home runs, 66 RBIs and 67 runs scored for Class A Advanced Brevard County.
One other Brewers prospect, Double-A Huntsville first baseman Nick Ramirez, Tweeted last week that he had been selected for the AFL.
Each Major League organization is able to designate a "priority position" in the AFL, ensuring regular playing time for their prospects at that position. Last year, it was outfielder Mitch Haniger, whose strong performance helped get him to Major League Spring Training camp.
