Prospects Will Break Your Heart
Top 101 Prospects
Previous Rankings: 2012 | 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008 | 2007
2013 Top 101 Prospects Breakdown by Position, Organization, and Age: Link
This list was conceptualized and constructed in late December, and finalized and submitted for Baseball Prospectus 2013 in early January. I have avoided it ever since out of revisionist fear. When this particular list was created, the Baseball Prospectus prospect crew was only two months into the team top 10 lists, having found our rhythm in the process but only scratched the surface of all the talent in the minors. With countless emails, calls, texts, IMs, letters, and Candygrams exchanged between members of the BP team and members of the baseball industry, we played prospect Nostradamus and worked ahead of the team lists, spelunking for information like we had never spelunked before. It was a stressful time, but also one of the most rewarding of my career, a daily debate about prospects that consumed all available energy and intellect. It was a prospect boot camp, and I loved every second of it.
Fast-forward two months, and I'm still thrilled with the rewards of the process and the overall plus-plus quality of the work; that conviction will never waver. But I'm also aware of the realities of such a project and saddled with the occasional second thought; not because the list is rife with unexplainable error or incompetence, but because appetite and approach evolve with each new influence, conversation, and exchange of information. At the time of construction, we had more than 100 names for the final 50 spots on the list, and you can make a reasonable and articulate case for each player's inclusion. We picked up our phones, touched our fingers to keys, and put our collective heads together and carved out the following list, which I'm honored to stand by. That's not to say that I haven't thought about tweaks or trims...

Great list professor. Thanks to you and your team. Did Corey Seager come close to joining your list?
Feb 25, 2013 02:25 AM
Would love to see the Jason Parks only list as well. Also, I'm sure there must be good discussion pieces, like you did on a couple of the early lists - I remember one on the Rockies list, for example.
Feb 25, 2013 02:30 AM
Great list Jason & Co.
Feb 25, 2013 03:40 AM
I always feel like these lists reach a point where the difference between #60 and #80 ranked prospects is actually very small,while the difference between #1 and #20 is pretty huge. Do you care to comment on roughly where you see this happening on this list? I guess I'm asking where you feel the break point is between the elite and the hopefuls?
Feb 25, 2013 04:44 AM
The scouting report link for Allen Webster takes you to the apple homepage. I am trying to figure out the secret message in that.
Feb 25, 2013 04:48 AM
Professor and Co., thank you for all the diligent work and for this list. Lists are snapshots of where players stand RIGHT NOW, but I still love reading them.
Feb 25, 2013 04:54 AM
I was surprised to not see Tyler Austin. Why don't you and/or your sources believe in his bat?
Feb 25, 2013 05:01 AM
How close was Slade Heathcott to making this list?
Feb 25, 2013 05:20 AM
Mtn Jam
JP....on the podcast you mentioned repeatedly that you weren't a fan of doing big lists like this. Has your opinion changed now that you've cranked out your first 101?
Feb 25, 2013 05:27 AM
Great work. The thing that strikes me about this list is the big drops are mainly pitchers; Bauer, Martinez, Hultzen, Teheran, Perez, Odorizzi, Lee, and Paxton.
Feb 25, 2013 06:15 AM
Keep in mind there is some noise in the rankings in that the comparison is going from the work product of one evaluator to the work product of another. To some extent, there is going to be fluctuation based solely on Goldstein and Parks viewing the prospect landscape through different lenses.

With Odorizzi falling 36 spots from 2012's list, was it a matter of the guys ahead of him developing more, new talent coming on board, being over-ranked last year, or a combination of all 3?
Feb 25, 2013 06:22 AM
Any thoughts as to where Hyun-Jin Ryu would fit on this list? I know on the Dodgers 10 you didn't put him on the list.
Feb 25, 2013 06:49 AM
I'm not that high on the guy based on the (limited) reports I received while researching the Dodgers list. Obviously knows how to pitch, but its more pitchability than stuff and that shrinks the error margin. I might be too low on him, but I haven't seen enough to write the report in ink.
Feb 25, 2013 06:52 AM
Hedges as a top 20 prospect... He's really THAT good behind the plate?
Feb 25, 2013 06:54 AM
"His stuff is NC-17 and can flash snuff film potential."
Feb 25, 2013 07:02 AM
Why isn't [my favorite prospect] on this list?!? *shakes fist
Feb 25, 2013 07:09 AM
Thank you for this list! This is something I look forward to as much as the PECOTA release.
Feb 25, 2013 07:35 AM
Addison Russell the 3rd baseman would rank...
Feb 25, 2013 07:39 AM
Also curious if we live in thirdbaseland, where Bogaerts and Baez would rank if they had to move to third.
Feb 25, 2013 07:43 AM
Elsewhere Jason has said that Xander's ranking is about the bat. Obviously he is more valuable as a middle infielder, but it's the bat that is elite, and the bat that drives his ranking. Bottom line is that he's a top 5 bat in the minors so position is only moving the needle 2-5 spots.
Mar 29, 2013 17:23 PM
Hadn't heard the bad news on Liriano, that's a terrible way to start my week. My observation on him is that it's always taken him some time to adjust at each level. Does that profile concern you more than usual for a player missing a season due to injury?
Feb 25, 2013 07:47 AM
The list itself is a lot of fun, but will take time to digest and will have a lot of on-going value as a reference point.
Feb 25, 2013 08:07 AM
I remember, around this time last year, all the buzz surrounding Gary Brown.
Feb 25, 2013 08:20 AM
Yea, people were saying he might be an absolute stud. What I don't understand is that after the increase in level he struggled a lot the first couple of months, but then played really well the rest of the year. It feels like his first month or two should be discounted a little because he was able to make the adjustments. Seems a little much to go from #18 to off the list for a decent overall season.
Feb 25, 2013 10:06 AM
I think it's also a look at who is doing the list. KG repeatedly said that he really liked Brown, while Jason was not.
Feb 25, 2013 12:21 PM
This is an important distinction to keep in mind when comparing this year's list to the 2012 BP 101. Thanks, ttt.
Feb 25, 2013 12:26 PM
There was a time, though, when people didn't like Mike Trout either. But yeah, Brown didn't have a good 2012.
Feb 27, 2013 16:01 PM
Enjoying digesting the list. This is not a criticism, but for me this current list epitomizes how Baseball Prospectus has evolved over the years. I am sure that a decade ago, someone like Adam Eaton would have been reasonably high on the list based on performance metrics. Now probably more of an emphasis on tools and scouting. Full circle to some extent.
Feb 25, 2013 08:28 AM
Love seeing you're still bullish on Alfaro. I have to think that, not that he is the pet project of the real legend, he has some serious potential to move quickly up this list.
Feb 25, 2013 09:22 AM
No Brett Jackson?
Feb 25, 2013 10:02 AM
Fantasy AL only keeper league
Feb 25, 2013 10:08 AM
JBJ is likely to give you the quicker return and is a safer bet to be a solid contributor in average, runs and some SB. Cowart has a wider gap between current value and future potential but has the higher fantasy ceiling because of the power potential. Cowart carries more risk, and isn't likely a significant producer in 2013 or 2014, but could be a valuable trade chip during those seasons.
Feb 25, 2013 10:29 AM
Hmm really?! I was thinking it was almost the exact opposite because of the lack of third base presence in LAA so if Cowart plays well he could push himself up there this year. Where in BOS it feels like there are so many OFs, he would not only have to play really well, but also hope for an opening. Is Bradley a good reason not to sign Ellsbury long term?
Feb 25, 2013 10:41 AM
The Ellsbury question will come down to internal valuation, but JBJ is closer to MLB ready than is Cowart. The path may be cleaner for Cowart, but if the profile isn't there for him to succeed, it doesn't matter, right? That said, if Cowart were to make a large developmental jump at Double-A, sure, he'd potentially be positioned to make an impact more quickly.
Feb 25, 2013 10:46 AM
I forgot I had looked at this before. lol Bradley might be closer, but he doesn't have any great or even pretty good skills fantasy wise. In the top 10 it says about Bradley,"most likely a single-digit home run threat" & "could steal some bases despite average speed" Seems very little upside so I'm inclined to pick Cowart.
Feb 25, 2013 11:14 AM
I'm not a fantasy expert by any means, but I assume AL only would mean the threshold for "productive player" is lower from a counting stat perspective. In the usual categories, he could have upside around .285+ BA, 90+ R, 60+ RBI, 8-12 HR (considering home park), and 20 SB. Not a world beater, but a fine little player.

Rymer Liriano out for 2013 with TJ surgery and #39?
Feb 25, 2013 10:09 AM
Broken Arrow
If you were to rank Bryce Harper, Matt Moore and Mike Trout going into the 2012 season (forgetting what you know about their performance last season) alongside Oscar Tavaras and Jurickson Profar 1-5 now, how would they stack up?
Feb 25, 2013 10:20 AM
Quite amazed you have Tyler Thornburg on the list. From initial impressions and impressions among scouts, he seems destined for the bullpen. I was not at all impressed with his debut last year, and felt he had a ton of work to do before proving he was bound for the rotation, or worthy of top prospect status.
Feb 25, 2013 11:20 AM
Who can you see being the top 5-10 prospects on next year's list?
Feb 25, 2013 12:04 PM
21. Miguel Sano, 3B, Twins
Feb 25, 2013 12:10 PM
Almora, Hedges, Baez, Sano would naturally slide up depending on who graduates. There is potential for one or two draft-eligibles to debut that high (though no one is close a lock at this point). Could see big jumps from high-ceiling guys like Rendon, Correa, Soler, etc.
Feb 25, 2013 12:14 PM
Great job with all the team reports and top 101 this year.
Feb 25, 2013 13:51 PM
Nice! FOUR Mets in the top 100! Now that's exciting. And three in the top 30.. In my young life, we've never had this many top prospects.. Ones that are legit, not overhyped (Lastings M F-Mart.. Big Pelf) at least.
Feb 25, 2013 15:06 PM
Yes, the Mets have three top pitching prospects. Nothing could possibly go wrong....
Feb 25, 2013 15:33 PM
Three top kegs of dynamite and an injury prone position player at probably the most physically demanding position on the diamond.
Feb 25, 2013 16:28 PM
That shit cray
Feb 25, 2013 16:06 PM
Will a good year at A+ then maybe AA have Hanson/Polanco pushing the top 25 next season?
Feb 25, 2013 16:52 PM
Davin Brown
Nolan Arenado was getting tons of hype last year at this time. I know his season didn't match the level of the prior year, but any other big reasons for his drop?
Feb 25, 2013 17:09 PM
could you please name some youngsters that are, if everything goes perfect, 7 ceilings that did not appear in the top 101?
Feb 25, 2013 17:11 PM
I can't really think of many players with all-star ceilings that didn't get a mention on the list. Rare types. You can go very low in the minors with guys like Sanchez and Gohara in the Mariners system, but the list is very short.
Feb 25, 2013 18:28 PM
Think you are being a bit tough here Mr. Parks.. He did say if everything goes perfect... And to that degree think many of the HS arms from the 2012 draft class have that upside: Smoral, Berrios, Hensly, Sims... all have perfect world 7 updside right?
Feb 25, 2013 21:57 PM
No; 7-upside for a pitcher is basically a number one or a very good number two. I don't have those ranked quite that high.
Feb 25, 2013 22:40 PM
Ok not talking about anyone specific but defining a 7 level pitcher...95MPH fastball, above average change, average curve and above average control/command with average pitch-ability.... Would that qualify?
Feb 26, 2013 03:20 AM
Most top of the rotation arms have a plus-plus pitch, at least two plus secondary pitches, plus command, durability, and a good approach/feel for pitching. Rare combo
Feb 26, 2013 07:06 AM
thanks... yeah I was just looking for some guys very low in the minors... are there any other players down there that you can really dream on?
Feb 25, 2013 22:54 PM
Was Berrios far off, and can you see him
Feb 25, 2013 17:17 PM
Feb 25, 2013 17:42 PM
Scott Gilroy
Was a bit surprised to see Chris Owings on the list. Is it that he is closer to being ready for major league action or are you just more confident in his talent than most?
Feb 25, 2013 17:44 PM
Excellent work, Jason et al. If still-eligible and sprinkled onto this list, where would some of last year's top catching prospects land -- Grandal, Mesoraco, W. Rosario, W. Castillo?
Feb 25, 2013 19:00 PM
Luke in MN
Jason, I recall you mentioning loving Max Kepler and was a little surprised not to see him on your list. Care to comment?
Feb 25, 2013 19:08 PM
Jason - glad to see your hard work coming to fruition. Outside of Nolin and Sanchez, any Jays' prospects that you considered for the top 101?
Feb 25, 2013 20:05 PM
Thanks for your efforts, Jason. I'm generally more interested in descriptions than rankings, because it's so tough to predict what's going to become of these guys or to compare players who are different ages and positions. That said, why do you consider Wacha an ever so slightly better prospect than fellow first-round pick Fried? I wouldn't be surprised if Wacha has a better career (for all we know Fried won't get past Double-A), but I assumed Fried had a higher ceiling.
Feb 25, 2013 20:23 PM
Sonny Gray has way more stuff than Straily. I assume questions about his ability to remain a starter pushed him off the top 101?
Feb 25, 2013 21:11 PM
then again I guess 24 year-old 2B prospects aren't really your thing. The 2Bs never get much love.
Feb 25, 2013 21:16 PM
Fringe players don' get much love. If Green was a better prospect he'd get more prospect love. He has a chance to be a second division type. That's the reality of the skill-set. He's a white, hit-tool first 2B type that was originally a SS, so the Michael Young comps are obvious and easy. It doesn't mean Green is going to be Michael Young.
Feb 25, 2013 22:44 PM
Can't help but sob thinking about what the Pirates' system would look like if they had taken Dahl last year and been able to close the deal with Sano when they had the chance.
Feb 25, 2013 21:22 PM
Seems like there is an unusually large number of third basemen high on the list when the position is already pretty deep at the MLB level. How many of them will have to move before they get to the show permanently? Also seems like the list is lighter than usual on LHPs
Feb 25, 2013 22:54 PM
Major league depth doesn't influence the list. Prospects are prospects, and we try to evaluate them in a scouting vacuum.
Feb 25, 2013 22:58 PM
What do you mean a "scouting vacuum"? It's hard to imagine that there is currently only one first basemen with a hit tool.
Feb 26, 2013 14:23 PM
Huh? Scouting in a vacuum: meaning we are just focused on the specifics of the player, not organizational issues/influence.
Feb 26, 2013 16:05 PM
Shouldn't organizations factor in more? Consider Nick Castellanos who, by many accounts, is at least adequate defensively at third base. But, he's been moved to the outfield through no real fault of his own, but because the Tigers moved Miguel Cabrera over. Would Castellanos be higher than #37 if not for the change?
Feb 27, 2013 16:04 PM
No. Olt is a similar. Very good 3B, but unlikely to play much 3B because of Beltre at the major league level. This doesn't influence his ranking, though. The scouting report is about the player, not the org.
Feb 27, 2013 16:19 PM
Tommy Fastball
Jairo Beras get any consideration?
Feb 25, 2013 23:04 PM
48 to 52. This is the split between pitchers and hitters. It's not simply BP, but all prospectors seem to be rating pitchers on par with hitters.
Feb 26, 2013 07:30 AM
Great point, and that's at the MLB level, and ignores the higher (I believe, based on TNSAPP, but don't actually have data in front of me) failure rate of pitching prospects to become even fringe MLB players.
Feb 26, 2013 13:43 PM
Here's how I see this - the pros may differ:
Feb 26, 2013 13:49 PM
Does a location guy like Seth Maness have a chance to make this list next year, offsetting a low K rate and a fastball maxing out in the upper 80s with otherworldly control (only 15 bb in 222 ip in A/AA, or 0.6/9)?
Feb 26, 2013 07:48 AM
Feb 26, 2013 07:59 AM
If Russell can stay at SS, he's a role 7 player or potential all-star. Middle of the diamond players with plus bats are extremely rare and extremely valuable.
Feb 26, 2013 08:14 AM
Follow up on Russell, if I may. I've seen both Russell and Correa receive glowing write ups highlighting their ability to provide plus offense at shortstop. How much separates these guys? Is it the evaluation of risk (Russell as medium and moving up fast, Correa high but with solid makeup)?

Just a technical note, the Link for most recent Scouting Report doesn't really work for players traded since the Top 10s were posted. Don't know if this affects anyone other than Trevor Bauer.

Steve Jobs could get his own postage stamp.
Jobs�appears on a�list of approved designs�that could start circulating in 2014,�according to a document obtained by�The Washington Post.
The Citizens� Stamp Advisory Committee typically keeps information very secret until stamps are released, according to the Post,�to create buzz around new stamps. The�document was marked �Confidential/Restricted Information.�
Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Wilt Chamberlain are among the other icons on the list, at least partly in a bid to increase stamp collecting among young Americans.
�The approved subjects include many more traditional historical, cultural and literary figures that have long been the hallmark of the stamp program. But the financially strapped service is embarking on a new path now to increase revenue and attract young collectors, one more heavily tilted toward popular subjects,� wrote the�Post, Friday.

Number of water molecules produced by cellular respiration
Discussion of all aspects of cellular structure, physiology and communication.

Number of water molecules produced by cellular respiration
I have a question regarding the number of water molecules produced by cellular respiration. At the level of the electron transport system (ETS), the equation regarding O2 as the final electron acceptor is: 1/2O2 + 2é + 2H+ --- H20. Considering that the 10 NADH molecules entering the ETS will contribute to 10 é pairs (and hence to the consumption of 10/2 = 5 O2 molecules), and that the 2 FADH2 molecules entering the ETS will contribute to 2 é pairs (and use 2/2 = 1 O2 molecule). Then what about water? According to this equation, a total of 12 molecules of water would be produced. How should we relate this to the general equation of glucose breakdown: glucose + 6 O2 ---- 6 CO2 + 6 H20 + E ??? This should mean that 6 water molecules are consumed at some other point to account for the global equation??
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Thanks Sebast.
Sorry if my question lacked in clarity. I wasn't interested so much about the idea of water production per se, but rather about the understanding of the equations (trying to balance the general equation that states that 6 molecules of water will be formed for each glucose molecule broken down, with the equation that accounts for the oxygen consumption (and water production) at the end of the ETS. This equation states that for 1/2 molecule of O2 consumed by accepting an electron pair, there will be 1 molecule of water formed. Hence, considering that the 10 NADH molecules entering the ETS will contribute 10 electron pairs to the ETS, and the 2 FADH2 molecules contributes to 2 electron pairs; 12 molecules of water will be formed for each glucose molecule being broken down... I then presume that somewhere upstream in the pathways (glycolysis? transition reaction? Krebs cycle?), there should be 6 molecules of water being consumed, but where?
Well, i can tell you this:
Glycolysis also produces one molecule of water from 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpiruvate.(so 2 extra molecules of water are produced this way). On the other hand the Krebs cycle uses up 2 molecules of water per glucose when it turns fumarate into malate.
The answer to your question lies at the electron transport chain. i have been killing my brains trying to figure out how. I know 1000% that for every 2 NADH or FADH2 molecules one water molecule is produced. What i can not understand is how the heck?!? Cause every NADH molecule carries 2 electrons, and it should be enough to reduce one water molecule. Sorry, i just never realised this problem before. I will post it here as soon as i have an answer

Thanks Mr Mistery. It is one of those questions that seems so obvious at first sight that you just don't pay attention to it... just like the majority of textbooks on the subject I've consulted thus far! I don't know if this is a similar phenomenon to the one in the journalistic circle, where it sometimes seems like everybody is copying each other, but it seems like no one seemed to have noticed that things didn't balance out in terms of water production... Now I don't intend to say that things don't happen this way (as I said; there should be an overall consumption of 6 molecules of water somewhere upstream of the ETS to account for it), but rather point out the fact that the most common textbooks on the subject should have mentionned it. Hoping someone can help me figure out this one... Thanks in advance!
krebs cycle uses H2O? Where? Maybe it says that 3 water molecules take place in the Krebs cycle. Cause conversion of citrate to isocitrate is done by extracting and then inserting a water molecule.

Re: Number of water molecules produced by cellular respiration
Colleagues: Well I think I have found another point of water consumption. Most diagrams of the Kreb's Cycle in text books show water being released as a waste product between Citrate and cis-Aconitate and then this is usually followed by an illustration of a single water molecule being consumed in converting cis Aconitate into D-isocitrate. Net water gain zero. One in one out. Later in the Kreb's cycle a single water molecule is consumed in converting fumarate into malate. This gives you one water molecule consumed per acetyl Co A or two consumed per glucose catabolized just within the Kreb's. These 2 Kreb cycle consumed waters balance against the 2 produced via enolase during the glycolytic conversion of two 2-phosphoglycerate molecules into two phospho-enol pyruvate molecules. But what most text books never show is that during the Kreb's cycle and specifically during the combination reaction of acetylCoA plus oxaloacteate to form citrate via citrate synthase that a single water molecule is consumed. That is one additional water consumption per acetyl CoA then typically illustrated or 2 water consumptions per each catabolized glucose during the Kreb's, So if 10 NADH's and 2 FADH2s each drop off 2e-to the ETC with each combining with 1/2O2 and 2H+ to reduce the oxygen then 12 water molecules should be formed. If we subtract the 2 waters consumed during citrate formation that brings us down to 10 water molecules net. Which is still 4 more then the net equation suggests (C6H12O6 +6 O2 --> 6CO2 +6H2O). So somewhere else 4 water molecules must be consumed...but where is still a mystery. Maybe in the oxidation reactions of pyruvate that from acetyl CoA or maybe hidden within the reactions of glycolysis, The website: https://www.boundless.com/image/the-citric-acid-cycle/ shows the water productions and consumptions I have mentioned above. The key may lie in searching for and finding better metabolic pathway diagrams that dont conceal these water consumptions similar to the way that most textbooks never ever show that citrate formation consumes water as acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate combine. The other issue is that I have assumed that only one water is consumed in converting fumarate to malate or in forming citrate...what if 2 or more are consumed per each of these conversions. I think we are closer to a resolution but we still have some more research to do to get the bottom of this issue.
Re: Number of water molecules produced by cellular respiration
I did a google search for "aldolase glycolysis" and found a biochem website at Georgia Tech that posted a powerpoint link
In that powerpoint they show that the aldolase enzyme executing a reverse aldol condensation that consumes one water molecule per Dihydroxyacetone produced during the splitting of one fructose 1,6 bis phosphate. So with the 2 consumed during citrate formation we are now down to 12 -3 waters or 9 waters produced. 3 are still in excess of the equation but I am sure that those can be found by looking at better biochemistry resources where they show more details about the individual reactions occurring in the active sites of the enzymes.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [SL] Oct. 3, 2005 Hunter Education Courses Filling Up, Deferral an Option AUSTIN, Texas -- Despite offering 4,400 hunter education courses throughout the year, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department understands there are some who will still wait until the last minute before hunting season to get certified. This fall, those procrastinators need not panic. "There are still more than 150 structured courses scheduled across the state between now and Nov. 4, the last day before the opening of deer season," said Terry Erwin, hunter education coordinator for TPWD. "And there are over 55 home-study courses available, but all of these courses are subject to change as they fill up daily. It may be tough getting into a course before deer season." That's where TPWD's hunter education deferral option can help. The deferral option, which was introduced last year, allows people 17 years of age or older, a one-time only extension to complete the state's hunter education requirements. The individual must purchase a hunting license and then may purchase the "Deferral Option # 166, and must be accompanied by someone 17 years old or older who is also licensed to hunt in Texas. The accompanying individual must have completed hunter education or be exempt from the requirements (born before Sept. 2, 1971). The extension is good until Aug. 31 of the current license year, by which time the person with the deferred option needs to complete a hunter education course. This option will not be available to those who have ever received a conviction or deferred adjudication for lack of hunter education certification. They still must take the course before going afield. "We had more than 10,000 hunters take advantage of the option last year," said Erwin. "Data indicates the majority of those who get the option are new or relatively new to hunting and this gives them an opportunity to try it out with a mentoring hunter before making the commitment to take hunter education. It's not an alternative to taking the course, you still have to get certified if you want to hunt in subsequent years." More than 250 individuals have already taken the hunter education course prior to the end of the last license year, however those not taking advantage will not receive the $5 discount. Purchases this year have already exceeded 900 during the first two weeks licenses were on sale. The deferred option costs $10 and may be offered one-time only. The new hunter also receives a $5 discount off the price of a hunter education course, which costs $10, but only if the course is taken prior to the end of the current license year. The option is surrendered at the time the course is taken and replaced with a hunter education "temporary card" until the actual certification card arrives from Austin. The deferred option will also be available to out-of-state hunters, as well as those in the military who are stationed in Texas or who are home on leave. However, the deferral is only good in Texas, and will not be honored outside the state. "People who are off in college out of state are helped by this program," said Erwin. "I talked to one mom who was concerned her son would not have time to take the course when he came home from college during the holidays and wouldn't be able to go hunting with his dad. She got the deferred option as insurance." According to TPWD game warden records, the most common citation written is for hunter education certification violations. Texas certifies more than 33,000 hunters annually through 4,400 hunter education courses offered across the state, with at least one offered in each of the 254 counties. Hunter Education courses are a minimum of 10 hours of classroom and hands-on activities. The classroom portion can alternatively be taken through home study or online, followed by a hands-on, outdoor session taught by volunteer instructors. "Although we offer the course throughout the year, there are times during the holidays when only a select number of courses may be available and that's typically the time of year when most people have an opportunity to go hunting," said Erwin. "This deferred option will give folks time and convenience to enroll at a later date and still take advantage of an opportunity to go hunting." During the last four decades, hunting-related accidents have declined by more than half and the credit goes to mandatory hunter education. For more information about hunter education and the new deferred option, call TPWD toll free (800) 792-1112 or visit the Web site (http://tpwd.texas.gov/). -30-

As soon as I say Dominus' email, I started thinking that it shouldn't apply to blessed objects due to overloading, but I see that Schwern already raised that case.
Still, other than that, I could see a warning or a new 'strict' type being added in future versions of Perl.
It could still just throw an error for any non-overloaded coercion.

UT Extension Master Dairy Producer training underway
The University of Tennessee Extension is offering Master Dairy Producer training for the state's dairy operators in 2014.
This training replaces the Tennessee Quality Milk Producer certification currently offered. Peter Krawczel, UT Extension dairy specialist, is leading the curriculum development effort and will be presenting the training.
The first educational program offered as part of Master Dairy Producer will focus on new approaches to calf and heifer management. Training is being held at several locations this week. Remaining sessions include: will be available as follows: Cookeville, Jan. 29; Greeneville, Jan. 30; and Athens, Jan. 31. Contact your county UT Extension agent for details. The cost of attending will be $25 with lunch provided.
Subsequent programs in 2014 will focus on heat stress and transition cow management. Options for reproduction programs will be also be presented, with details to be announced at a later date.
Earning a Master Dairy Producer Certificate may also help farmers qualify for the maximum cost-share funding available through the Tennessee Department of Agriculture's Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program (TAEP). The TAEP assists qualified producers with cost-share funds of up to 50% of the cost of designated equipment or construction of qualifying facilities.
Beginning in 2015, dairy producers who wish to qualify for the maximum TAEP cost share will need to participate in two of three master dairy modules annually. Dairy producers are encouraged to take advantage of continuing education opportunities in 2014, although certification won't be required for the 50 percent cost share until 2015. More information is posted online at the TAEP website: http://www.tn.gov/agriculture/enhancement.

Adolph and Sam Frankel are the official poster boys for "Jewish Life in the American West: Generation to Generation," one of the most ambitious exhibitions ever mounted by the Autry Museum of Western Heritage. The exhibit opens to the public on Sunday, June 23.
Derived from a photo, taken around 1915 in Cushing, Okla., it shows the Frankel brothers posing, somewhat self-consciously, for the camera.
Sam is dressed in a three-piece suit, stiff collar shirt, necktie and fedora. Adolph, by contrast, is the complete cowboy, sporting a rakishly tilted Stetson, kerchief, woolly chaps, pistol and lasso.
The single picture captures the transformation of the European Jew from shtetl, city-bred greenhorn or urban Easterner, to proud Westerner and American, a century-long process (roughly 1820-1920) richly illustrated and documented in the Autry exhibit.
Contrary to popular notion, not all Jewish immigrants to the land of unlimited opportunities settled in New York or other cities along the Eastern seaboard.
Many of the more adventurous sought their fortunes along the ever-moving frontier of the American West, stretching from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean.
While the first Jews arrived in the West with the early Spanish expeditions of the 16th century, perhaps the true prototype of the Jewish pioneer of the 19th century was Solomon Nunes Carvalho.
Carvalho served as the official artist and photographer in the Fremont expeditions that explored vast areas of the West, and then became one of the founding fathers of the Los Angeles Jewish community.
Carvalho's photos and writings occupy one small corner of the 5,400-square- foot exhibit, which has been four years in the making at a cost of well over $1 million.
Technicians and artists were still working feverishly on preparations in the Autry's workshops a month before the opening, when managing curator Michael Duchemin and assistant curator Meredith Blake Hackleman gave The Jewish Journal a preview tour.
By way of introduction, Duchemin noted that "Jewish history in the West tends to be compartmentalized by states, with a separate Utah history, an Arizona history, and so forth. This is the first time that an exhibit has tried to pull together all the regional histories into one."
The configuration and schematics for turning vision into reality are outlined on 30 storyboards stretching along one wall. They show four different sections, starting with "Exhibit Introduction and Orientation."
Included in this section are displays illustrating the diverse backgrounds and traditions of the immigrant Jews, ranging from Turkish Sephardic Jews to Ashkenazi Jews from Central and Eastern Europe.
A panel chronicles the adventures of another larger-than-life pioneer, Adolphus Sterne, a crypto-Jew who smuggled arms to Sam Houston, fighting for the independence of Texas from Mexican rule.
Next the visitor enters the "Journey West" section, which celebrates the Jewish immigrant trader and peddler, "who was as much of the frontier experience as the cowboy and mountain man," says Duchemin.
With the 1848 Gold Rush and the simultaneous revolutionary upheavals sweeping Europe, adventurous Jews headed for California. Among them was Joseph Newmark, who, after organizing congregations in New York and St. Louis, arrived in the dusty village of Los Angeles in 1854 and helped found the Hebrew Benevolent Society as the cornerstone of the evolving Jewish community.
The third section, labeled "Community and Diversity," shows the separate developments of the nascent Jewish communities of the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain states, San Francisco, Los Angeles/Boyle Heights and Seattle.
Throughout the exhibit, the general evolution of the Jewish West is exemplified through the histories of individual participants, including the Nudelman family, among whose descendants is Rabbi Harvey Fields of Wilshire Boulevard Temple.
The creation of Hollywood as a Jewish "empire" is illustrated through the making of the 1914 six-reeler "The Squaw Man" by Cecil B. DeMille, Sam Goldwyn and Jesse Lasky, arguable the movie capital's first blockbuster.
Videos will focus on other aspects of L.A.'s Jewish history, such as the pioneer Breed Street Shul in Boyle Heights, Hackleman said.
The final section, "Contemporary Reflections," includes explanations of Jewish holidays, as well as a large quilt canvas by Santa Fe artist Andrea Kalinowski, portraying the struggles of Jewish pioneer women.
In addition, one room is devoted to genealogy and family histories, and another to Western Jewish history resources.
Among financial supporters of the "Jewish Life in the West" exhibit are foundations endowed by Steven Spielberg, Walter and Elise Haas, Maurice Amado, David and Fela Shapell and the Jewish Community Foundation. Additional support came from Wells Fargo, Jay Grodin, John Sussman, Steven Gunther and the Western States Historical Quarterly.
The Autry Museum was inaugurated in 1988 and endowed by Hollywood's popular "Singing Cowboy," Gene Autry, and his wife, Jackie. It includes galleries, archives, a discovery center and a collection of 51,000 objects.

Property developer and owner Australand's full-year profit has risen by 28 per cent and the company expects further earnings growth in 2013.
Australand has $2.3 billion in investments in residential, commercial and industrial properties, and also develops large-scale residential projects.
Its net profit in the year to December 31 was $180 million, up from $140.6 million in the previous corresponding period.
Earnings from its investment properties were up eight per cent, and the value of its portfolio rose by $51.3 million.
Earnings from Australand's development business increased by seven per cent from the previous corresponding period, due to strong sales at several medium density projects, the company said.
"Despite the generally cautious market sentiment, our residential earnings increased 16 per cent and contracts on hand at year-end were up by 24 per cent, providing good momentum into 2013," Australand managing director Bob Jonhston said in a statement.
Market conditions were expected to remain challenging in the year ahead, but Australand expected its operating earnings per security to rise, he said.
Operating earnings per security were 24.6 cents in calendar 2012.
Australand declared unfranked distributions of 21.5 cents per security in 2012, in line with the previous year.

CVC Central 2007 Highlights: Practical ideas for managing common internal medicine problems
#1 In dogs with a recent onset of urinary incontinence, rule out polyuria and polydipsia as possible causes before initiating drug therapy. Some clients may not be aware that polyuria and polydipsia can be linked to urinary incontinence, so they may not report the polyuria and polydipsia. Polyuria can overwhelm the capacity of the sphincter in dogs with marginal sphincter function, resulting in urinary incontinence. Correcting the underlying cause of polyuria and polydipsia usually resolves the incontinence.#2 Perform a urine culture, regardless of urinalysis results, in any dog that presents with poly uria and polydipsia, signs of urinary tract disease, or an endo crinopathy. The urinalysis may not show marked signs of inflammation, and bacteria may not be seen, in many disease states. This situation is particularly true with diseases that cause dilute urine production, suppress immune function, or otherwise inhibit the normal urinary tract defense mechanisms, such as diabetes mellitus and hyper adrenocorticism. In addition, occult pyelonephritis may cause polyuria and polydipsia. It is acceptable to not perform a culture in a dog that is experiencing its first episode of lower urinary tract signs consistent with cystitis. But perform cultures if subsequent episodes occur.
#3 Manage hypoglycemia in toy breeds or puppies by administering L-carnitine. Hypoglycemia in toy breeds or puppies can be frustrating since the most popular recommendation is to provide frequent feedings, which may or may not resolve the problem. Some human infants with fatty acid oxidation disorders respond to L-carnitine, which helps move fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production.1 I use L-carnitine (50 mg/kg orally twice a day) until the puppies are 9 to 12 months old. In my experience, the hypoglycemic episodes diminish or disappear, the puppies are more active, and weight gain is more rapid. When supplemented with L-carnitine, these puppies don't seem to need the intensive feeding schedules recommended for managing hypoglycemia in toy breeds, and most do fine with twice-daily feedings. L-carnitine tablets and liquids are available at health food stores.
#4 Treat dogs with chronic vomiting for Physaloptera species infection before doing extensive work-ups. For otherwise healthy dogs with chronic low-grade vomiting (one or two times a day), good appetites, no weight loss, normal blood work results, and negative results on a fecal examination, treat for the stomach worm Physaloptera species before performing an endoscopic or a surgical gastroduodenal biopsy. Administer fenbendazole orally (75 mg/kg daily) for five days plus one day of pyrantel pamoate orally (7.5 mg/kg). Pyrantel can be given on the same day as fenbendazole. Repeat this treatment in three weeks. These doses are higher than the labeled doses, but I have found them to be successful after numerous treatment failures at the recommended doses.
#5 Think Addison's disease! In my opinion, a serious problem in private practice today is not including sodium, potassium, and chloride concentrations in many in-house serum chemistry profiles. When you examine a young- to middle-aged female dog with a history of intermittent vomiting and lethargy or anorexia, polyuria and polydipsia, or possibly an acute episode of shock, bradycardia is a good indicator of hypoadrenocorticism. The bradycardia may be relative (i.e. a heart rate of 100 beats/min may not seem slow but is in a dog that presents in shock with 10% dehydration). So in these dogs, be sure to measure sodium, potassium, and chloride concentrations to further support the diagnosis, and perform an ACTH stimulation test to confirm it.
A buccal mucosa bleeding time test is a simple way to evaluate predisposed breeds for von Willebrand's disease before elective surgery. Since von Willebrand's disease is common in Doberman pinschers, Chesapeake Bay retrievers, Scottish terriers, German wirehaired pointers, and Shetland sheepdogs, presurgical evaluation is prudent and can be inexpensively performed with a buccal mucosa bleeding time test.

He attributes some of his proficiency to his math degree, saying origami isn't just art, it's also science.
"The rules of what you can do with a single square of paper are fixed," he says. "It's not just a case of putting brush to paper and letting your imagination run riot."
Hunt is taking his creations to the wider world. In October, he exhibited some large-scale versions at the London MCM Expo and Comic Con, and he's seeking a publisher for a book. But he's sharing some of his designs already, through his website and on YouTube. He's not the only one out there doing it — Chris Alexander of starwarsorigami.com just released a book — but Hunt's designs veer toward the more complicated and intricate. He recommends them for intermediate to advanced origami artists, but that didn't stop us from trying our inept hands at the Naboo Starfighter.
What else but the X-wing could have been Hunt's first origami starfighter? He began with the base from a traditional origami frog, and took the ship through three iterations before settling on the version pictured. He's also offered step-by-step instructions to building the first edition (see steps 1-17 below).
"The use of the colored side of the paper to form the stripe on the wings was more luck than judgement," he adds.
Everybody's favorite droid makes an appearance in Hunt's gallery, of course. (If C-3PO is your favorite droid, you're doing it wrong.) Hunt went so far as to bring this little R2 unit to the 2012 London Film and Comic Con, where it had the chance to meet Kenny Baker, the actor who played the little droid.
While some of Hunt's easier designs can be made in 15 minutes, R2-D2 can take up to two hours — a long time for a form that's based off a paper square draped over his finger. But it's not just a crumpled tube; Hunt used precise geometrical patterns to pleat the body, align the holo projector and utility tool, and lock the whole thing down.
The crease pattern for Hunt's AT-AT walker is available on his page, but to the non-initiated, it looks like a mess of square and diagonal lines. It's more of a reference for Hunt than a how-to, but he uses blue and red lines to indicate "mountain" and "valley" folds, respectively.
"To recreate one of my designs, I start by pre-creasing the paper in all the right places, and then try and collapse the paper into the model's base, which can be a very frustrating process, involving clothes pegs, an extra pair of hands, and a lot of patience," Hunt says. "But once you get enough of the base into position, it reaches a critical mass and the rest can just fall into place naturally."
The challenge in creating Solo's ride was hitting the right proportions for the cockpit and the satellite dish, says Hunt. He wound up feeding a flap from the bottom up through the model, in order to get the dish on top.
Say what you will about the prequels, but those Hailfire Droids were pretty badass. What's even more impressive is that Hunt folded this replica from half a sheet of paper — albeit really large paper. He recommends you use the remaining 33 inch by 16.5 inch sheet to build the Vulture Droid.
The Naboo Starfighter is based off the folding pattern of a traditional crane.
"With these kind of models, there's still a lot of expression and improvisation going on," Hunt says. "You're taking a design that has a similar underlying structure to your target model, and molding it and shaping it to get the desired result, like a sculptor."
It's also the first model with a video tutorial, which proved to be a crucial component when we attempted to fold our own Starfighter. Watch our best effort below.
You can fold the TIE fighter in any color you want, as long as it's black. For this model — and for the droids — Hunt had to create the underlying architecture himself.
It's not a stretch to imagine the B-Wing came from the base for a crane, and it's even more obvious if you look at Hunt's first attempt (below). For the newer version, he used a technique called "strip grafting," a complicated technique using his crease pattern to scale the model slightly smaller, thus giving him relatively more space to work with. That gave him the extra paper — proportionally — that he needed for the cockpit and tail gun.
As challenging as these are to build, developing the designs from scratch requires a fundamental understanding of origami. Still, Hunt can offer some insight into the creative process.
"My starting point with the Imperial Shuttle was the desire to get a clear separation between the tail fin and the body of the ship, something that is lacking in all other representations of it that I have seen to date," he says. "Having worked out how to do that, the rest of the model fell into place quite quickly."

Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
No. Your PG shouldn't be the one handling the ball at the end of the game. Do you see Mario Chalmers handling the ball at the end of the game? Did you ever see Derek Fisher handling the ball at the end of the game? Did you ever see John Paxson, Steve Kerr and Ron Harper handle the ball at the end of the game?
It's your superstar wing that should have the ball in his hands late in the game. Our superstar wing played bad tonight. That's why we lost.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Do you remember the out of bounds in the first half that was clearly off Granger but they gave it to the Pacers? I thought so. Call's even out. The only possession was frustrated with was the Val missed hip check and then an iffy reach in call on George Hill.
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
I've seen about 15 different "biggest reasons we lost" tonight. That alone should tell you something: The entire team played like complete ****. It happens.
I do think the officiating favored the home team, but that's what a strong home court does for a team. I think Toronto was allowed to be a little more aggressive on defense than we were. I can't say the refs decided the game, but the Pacers have shown a history of getting disjointed when calls don't go their way. We're going to need stronger mental efforts from our young wings going forward.
Real men moonwalk into court. J'mon!
Did the refs cause George Hill to roll it out of bounds off of his foot in front of his own bench? Did they cause PG to throw some piece of **** lazy behind the back pass that got picked off? Did they cause Lance to throw it in to PG too high and skip it out of bounds?
Well, I guess that makes it two straight years that a missed call on Amir Johnson has won a game for the Raptors over the Pacers.
Whatever, we just played horribly.
We'll bounce back. Of that I have no doubt.
And were the hell was Stephenson tonight? Are the coaches telling him to calm down when he plays? Was this his impression of pouting Kobe and not trying
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Let the haters who only enjoy the demise of the Pacers feast this one time tonight. They only get to a handful of times really. DeRozan is pretty much Rudy Gay without having Rudy Gay on your team, he shot a ****-poor percentage, Paul George just never could get into the game, his open shots that he normally makes he missed and just was really careless.
"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."
----------------- Reggie Miller
Every LeBron needs a Chalmers. George Hill could be that Chalmers.
Hibbert (foul trouble), Lance, PG all out of it equals loss for us every time.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.

Yeah, when your goal is a #1 seed, these will come back to haunt you.

text: Students cook up careers at Carver By Julie Robinson February 19, 2013 Story Share Chris Dorst (From left) Brittany Lane and Denise Lee slice potatoes under the direction of chef Thomas Grant while Cierra Broughton and Jonathan Vickers make the creamy sauce for potatoes dauphinoise. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Chef Thomas Grant began cooking when he was 14 years old. He grew up in restaurant kitchens. His parents owned and operated the former Ernie's Esquire on Capitol Street and Wellington's in Poca.Today he offers hands-on culinary instruction to high school and adult students through the ProStart and Apprenticeship programs at Carver Career & Technical Center near Malden. He's instructed adults for six years, but this school year is the first opportunity he's had to work with the high school ProStart students.The ProStart students spend part or all of their days at Carver instead of their high schools. They don chef's togs and wield whisks and saucepans and follow Grant's instructions on how to use them.Along the way, they discern whether a culinary career is for them. Some continue after graduation in the adult apprenticeship program, while others choose a different route.Last week, students were chopping potatoes and tossing them with a creamy sauce to make oversized pans of potatoes dauphinoise. Earlier this semester, they mastered yeast doughs, making mouthwatering pepperoni, cinnamon and dinner rolls."This is fun. I like being in the kitchen," said Brittany Lane, 17, and a junior at Herbert Hoover High School. "My mom says she's going to start having me cook dinner."Whitney Harrison, a senior at George Washington High School, takes her training especially seriously. She and ProStart students from another Carver class will compete in the statewide Hospitality and Education Training competition in March in Morgantown. They'll have one hour to make a salad, entrée and dessert under the judges' watchful eyes. Harrison and the entree team will make a seared duck breast with duck sausage with parsnip puree and braised kale, cherry and orange compote au jus.Two ProStart students recently accompanied Grant to the Cast Iron Cook-off at The Greenbrier, where they assisted students from Pierpont and Mountwest post-secondary culinary programs.Students who pursue culinary careers benefit from competitions because they are likely to be competing at all levels. Richard Rosendale, who studied in The Greenbrier's Apprentice program at the same time as Grant, recently competed in Bocuse d'Or, the premier competition in the world.Post-secondary school graduates may continue culinary instruction through Carver's two-year adult apprentice program. If they complete the grueling program in which they work 40 hours a week in a restaurant as well their classroom hours, they'll be certified sous chefs through American Culinary Federation. "Our student team just won the state ACF competition and will be competing in New York in March," he said.Grant's ProStart students work in the kitchens with apprentice students who prepare lunch on Wednesdays for other students in the school."It's a great opportunity to work with more experienced students. When I was an apprentice at The Greenbrier, I learned a lot from other apprentices. You pass it on," he said.Before ProStart students begin cooking, they spend weeks in the classroom learning about safety and sanitation. "There's a lot of math -- decimals and fractions. They'll use this all the time," said Grant, who frequently fields student queries about math's usefulness. "They had to learn to convert recipes. Most are written for six to eight servings and they'll have to convert it to a much larger amount."Grant's years in restaurant kitchens give him street cred with the students. Before he took over Wellington's kitchen, he trained under noted chefs Peter Timmins and the late Robert Wong in the apprentice program after he graduated from Poca High School.He was chef de cuisine at Wellingtons when he exited the restaurant business and its long, demanding hours for a more reasonable work schedule as an instructor when he and his wife had children."This was a big leap from 12-hour days six to seven days a week to a five-day work week," said Grant. "At first my wife and I didn't know what to do on Saturdays."If his family's looking for a good meal on Saturday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., they'll find it at the Heart & Soul Dip Dinner at the East End Family Resource Center. Grant and his students will prepare and serve braised pork shoulder and navy bean cassoulet at the fundraiser for the after-school and adult programs at the center.For more information on Carver Career & Technical Center, visit www.carvercareercenter.edu or call 304-348-1965.

I've added new footage, recorded this afternoon. Mainly, I am trying to have more explosiveness and follow through. I still fail on pausing shoulder rotation to get the elbow forward what I can see. Any help will be appreciated!
**** Post below is from this spring: ********
I havent really worked on my form for the last 6 months, I've just been playing and not much has happened in my game. Now, the spring and summer is approaching and I want to get a little better, so I request some advide from you guys.
I can throw around 350 feet at max but the accuracy is not consistent. In the drives on the video I am throwing around 250-280. I would like some pointers about my timings. From watching the video, I immediately notice I look bulky, heavy and slow. I want to be more 'light' on my form, but I would also like to know what things things I might be doing right (if any), so I can keep those.
Also, I usually feel really weak and 'uncoiled' (dont know if that makes sense) when I do the right (left for me) peck drill. Is that just lack of arm strength? How long should I be able to throw with the right peck drill (ballpark figure).
Thanks in advance!

ROSSBURG, Ohio — Eldora Speedway is ready for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
Whether the drivers are ready, that will be answered tonight.
The historic half-mile dirt track owned by three-time Cup champion Tony Stewart and nestled amid the cornfields of northwestern Ohio will play host to the first NASCAR national series race on dirt since 1970.
MORE: The dirt on Eldora race | New TV deal | Earnhardt at Indy | Indy schedule
The CarCash Mudsummer Classic will be a different race, with heat races determining the lineup — 20 drivers are locked in with the 15 remaining drivers vying for 10 spots through five heat races and one last-chance race — and then a 150-lap main event broken into segments of 60, 50 and 40 laps.
The trucks are not made for dirt racing, with drivers circling the half-mile track in only 21 seconds in the final night practice Tuesday. The track record is under 13 seconds and dirt late model cars can turn 16-second laps.
The race features late model aces (such as Scott Bloomquist) and truck series drivers with significant experience on dirt (Austin and Ty Dillon) as well as a couple of Sprint Cup drivers in Ryan Newman and Dave Blaney.
Bloomquist, who won the Dirt Late Model "Dream" at Eldora earlier this year and is driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports, knows winning tonight — for himself or any of the other drivers — would be huge and historic.
"We have a tremendous amount of fans that come up here and I think there's a bunch of them here for this event," Bloomquist said. "It will impress them. … There is a lot of talent here, young and older.
"It's just an honor to be a part of it. I'm taking a very humble approach. But when we get to that last segment, I'm not going to worry about the paint."
Kyle Larson, who has won at Eldora in several types of cars, was the quickest overall in practice Thursday as the track went from soft to smooth with packed dirt. He believes those conditions make passing possible.
Passing will be prevalent because of the variety of skill levels and experience and the difficulty in trying to muscle a 3,400-pound vehicle on dirt. Drivers are taking a variety of lines as far as the slide job that typical dirt-track racing requires through the turns.
But those without dirt experience likely will try a more traditional arc through the corner. There were more than a dozen spins during the four hours of practice Thursday.
The contrast could be seen by the different lines taken by NASCAR veteran Dave Blaney, who made a career out of dirt racing before going to Cup, and his son Ryan, who has little dirt experience.
"I was watching my kid for a little and I was really shocked," Dave Blaney said. "He was way closer to the wall than I was and really getting after it. He's crazy."
While an experiment for NASCAR, Eldora isn't a typical half-mile dirt track and needed a significant overhaul to get ready for the event. A portable medical center was brought in from North Carolina and a medical helicopter helipad was constructed outside the oval.
The track replaced its main parking lot lighting as well lights for the frontstretch. The concrete retaining wall inside Turn 3 was reconstructed as well as the entrance and exits to pit road.
But what fans will notice most (beyond the potential for a race littered with cautions) is just how different the racing is, especially compared to a typical truck race or dirt event.
"(I'm used to) you have to take it in so hard, not lifting sometimes until you get to the center of the corner," Bloomquist said.
"You'd be picking me up from the parking lot if I tried that with these things. … This place will reach out and bite you pretty easy."

Aveeno Positively Ageless Correcting Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 Reviews
My new must-haveI was so excited to have a chance to review this product. When I took it out of the box, I immediately noticed how much I liked the shape of the bottle. It has a nice pump top that does not get messy, but dispenses a small amount of product, so none is wasted. The color of the tinted moisturizer is very nice and neutral, and the scent of the lotion was nice and light. I was glad to see the high S...read morePF factor on this product as well. I decided to use this for a week before commenting about it. I live at the beach, so I'm out in the sun all the time. I used this every day, even when I was laying out, and I am extremely impressed. It doesn't run, even in high heat, and does not sweat off. The lasting power was terrific and the coverage of the tinted moisturizer was sheer, but substantial enough to replace my foundation(though you might still want to use concealer as needed). Towards the end of the day, it got a little shiny, but nothing that I could not live with. The best part about this product is even after hours of direct sun exposure, I was not burned. I have also noticed that after a week, my skin does seem to be a bit brighter overall. This is an absolutely amazing product. It is perfect if you want light to medium coverage and stellar sun protection. I would highly recommend it to anyone. From the packaging, to the coverage to the stellar sun protection, this one's a winner. — 5 years, 6 months agoLittleBunny | 545 reviews

Disappointed....I really like the packaging of this. Its so cute but the pump dispenses a lot so i only pump halfway and not all the way.

Pros and Mainly ConsI really liked the smell of this moisturizer. It didn't smell like sunscreen, rather it almost smelled like ginger. It also provided good coverage - more so than I was expecting. I would actually say it gave me lightly medium coverage and it did hide my blemishes. I like that it has SPF and it lasted pretty long. Now for the cons, which are the reason I would not purchase this moisturizer. For on...read moree, I tried the lightest color possible, which was more like a medium for other brands. The product had a brown/yellow undertone making my skin look orange, not healthy and pink. The product was too liquid for me.

Not a fanI love reviewing new products from Totalbeauty. I have high reguards for most Aveeno products. The SPF was great, I loved the package and mousse like texture.

I hated this product.Wow, I really wasn't expecting such a crappy product from Aveeno. The one I have is in "light to medium" and let me tell you, It's neither. In fact, it's ORANGE. I have combo skin, maybe a little on the dry side, and this accentuated every little pack of dry skin I had. I'm very fair with freckles, and this tint really made me look orange.

Great Aveeno productThe shade I got was too dark for my skin tone, however, I still tested the quality of the moisturizer and found it hydrated well for a tinted moisturizer.

Definitely a must-tryThis is one of the most fast-acting skincare solutions that I have ever tried. My skin is EXTREMELY acne-prone and the winter weather has left it extremely parched--so needless to say, finding a decent moisturizer for me is a difficult task.

Yes, I use this product under foundation because my skintone is fair and this "light to medium" tint is too dark/warm-toned for me.

Definitely happy with this product and would definitely recommend it to people of all ages (whether you need help with acne or with aging skin). Now, I'm hoping that this product will also help fade away skin discoloration (as promised on the package) over time, of course.
