Paul Gutierrez
Player: Sonny Gray
Position: Pitcher
Ht: 5-11 Wt: 200
Throws: Rt Bats: Rt.
School: Vanderbilt
Round: 1st, 18th pick
Notable: Starred in "High School Musical" in high school.
Scouts Take: "He's a bulldog-type of guy who was a championship quarterback in high school and has played on the USA national team. He's got a complete mix of 'stuff' with a power fastball. He's a competitor with agood arm who goes out and wins. The stigma is that he's a 5-11 righty." - New York Mets scout Shooty Babitt.
Insiders Take: With his somewhat small build and array of power pitches, he might remind A's fans of former Oakland hurlers Huston Street and Tim Hudson. He also stays in line with general manager Billy Beane's trend of drafting college players in the first round as he has not drafted a high schooler in the first round since Jeremy Bonderman in 2001. The A's minor league system needs replenishing in the pitching department. He was 11-3 with a 2.01 ERA, a .192 opponents batting average in 16 starts this season, with 115 strikeouts in 107 23 innings. He was previously drafted in the 27th round of the 2008 draft by the Chicago Cubs.

Wondering when to plant sunflowers with children? The answer is right about now! If you're in the UK, or somewhere with a similar climate, you can start planting your seeds from the middle of March onwards. Sunflowers are great plants to grow with children – they're pretty reliable and grow quickly and there are lots of science, maths and craft activities you can link in with them.
Will you join in with our Sunflower Challenge this year? We've teamed up with Have a Lovely Time to help raise funds for Compton Hospice and have a competition with fabulous prizes on offer for the tallest sunflower. Click though to our Sunflower Challenge page and you can find more details of the competition, where to get your seeds and how to make a donation. There is also a free ebook of Sunflower Activities you can download with lots of ideas for learning activities you can use.
I'm delighted with the support you have show the Sunflower Challenge so far and really appreciate the donations you have made to Compton Hospice. Today we're joined by Zoe from Playing by the book, who is helping us get the Sunflower Challenge off to a great start by suggesting some wonderful sunflower-themed books that are prefect to read as part of the project. If you don't already know Playing by the book, do pop over to Zoe's blog because you will discover all sorts of wonderful ideas for making the most of children's books through inspiring activities, art and music ideas. Here's Zoe with her first review for us of the perfect book to accompany your planting.
For my first review I wanted a book perfect to go with planting our sunflower seeds and so I chose To be like the Sun by Susan Marie Swanson, illustrated by Margaret Chodos-Irvine.
Hello, little seed,
striped gray seed.
Do you really know everything
about sunflowers?
My hoe breaks apart
the clods of brown earth,
but you do the real work
down in the dark.
Not radish work or pumpkin,
not thistle work –
sunflower work.
All the instructions are written in your heart.
So opens this beautifully lyrical book which follows a young girl over the course of a growing season as she plants, tends, enjoys and then warmly remembers the sunflower she grows in her garden.
The sparse, poetic text is great for reading aloud – its brevity and apparent simplicity makes it an engaging listen for younger children, whilst its imaginative language ("All these seeds – are you tired / of holding them up? / What makes them so heavy? / Is it light caught inside?" or "a sunflower seed / is smaller than a word") will get older children thinking and asking questions.
I particularly liked the fact that the text is written as if the young child herself is addressing her seeds and sunflowers – putting the child's voice at the centre of the story gives an immediacy and relevance to little listeners as they imagine themselves talking to their own seeds.
If the quiet, meditative text is something that children of all ages, and their parents will enjoy, the illustrations will delight and thrill them. Bold, bright and bursting with vitality, (just like a sunflower in full bloom), Margaret Chodos-Irvine has used a variety of printmaking techniques to create images that will almost literally fill you with sunshine. The graphic-design feel of the prints, uncluttered, precise and perfectly placed mirrors the text remarkably well – this is a fantastic example of a book where text and illustration combine in a way that I don't think could be bettered.
We're not alone in thinking this is a very special book indeed. Other reviews have said "exuberant", "philosophical yet concrete", "a delightful read-aloud", "readers will be reminded of Eric Carle", and "The circle of life, with its remembrance and hope, has rarely been presented more simply and eloquently".
This is a sunflower book you should most definitely track down! My girls adore it, and I'm so glad the Sunflower Challenge gave me an excuse to get our own copy – this book is a keeper! Magical text, stunning illustrations and perfect for talking with your kids about the sunflower seeds you are growing together.
Click here for an Author Interview: Susan Marie Swanson on To Be Like the Sun, via Cynthia Leitich Smith's Cynsations.
If you want to try printing with your kids here are some good tutorials and sources of inspiration:
And if you want some music to plant your seeds to, you could do worse than the slightly surreal (but sure to appeal to the kids all the more for that!) Larry's a Sunflower Now by Peter Himmelman, or Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles or Sunflower by Beth Mclaughlin.
A big thanks to Zoe for teaming up with us in the Sunflower Challenge. Watch out for more book ideas from her on NurtureStore and over at Playing by the book. And if you need some tips on how to start your planting, have a look at my guide to planting sunflower seeds over at Ready for Ten.

News Releases
Council Names 2016 L. B. Thomson Conservation Award Winner
January 4, 2017:
The Soil Conservation Council of Canada (SCCC) has announced that Mr. Adam Hayes is the 2016 winner of the L. B. Thomson Conservation Award. Mr. Hayes was presented with this honour by Alan Kruszel, Chair of the SCCC on January 4th at the SouthWest Agricultural Conference in Ridgetown, Ont.
"The L. B. Thomson Conservation Award is presented annually to recognize individuals, organizations, and others who have made outstanding contributions to improving soil and water conservation at the regional level in Canada," says Kruszel. "Adam is particularly deserving of this award as he has committed more than 30 years of his career to understanding soil health and conservation practices in Ontario."
Adam grew up in Peterborough, Ont. and completed his B.Sc. (Agr.) at the University of Guelph in 1984. After a brief period of private consulting Adam began his career in soil conservation with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) in 1985. Since then, Adam has spent his entire career better understanding soil health and conservation, and working with Ontario farmers to put superior management systems into practice to optimize production and sustainability. Adam has been called the epitome of a fine extension specialist. Now working for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, he is equally effective whether setting up a cover crop trial with production-oriented farmers, presenting tailgate talks on aggregate stability, or exploring soil secrets alongside university research scientists.
The L. B. Thomson Conservation Award is one of many honours bestowed upon Adam that reflect the vision, leadership and depth of knowledge that have made him a leader in soil conservation and health in Ontario.
Adam and his wife Stephanie have three children and live in Ridgetown, Ontario.
About the L. B. Thomson Award
The L. B. Thomson Conservation Award was established in 1987 by the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA) Alumni in honour of Leonard Baden Thomson, Director General of PFRA from 1948 to 1956. Under his leadership PFRA developed and promoted soil conservation practices that minimized the severe wind erosion that plagued the Prairies in the 1930s. Since 1987, this award has been bestowed on 23 individuals and conservation organizations that have continued to make significant contributions to soil conservation in Canada.
In 2016, responsibility for this award was entrusted to the SCCC. The "Council" is proud to continue this tradition.

The Aurora Project
The Aurora Project is the collective name for a number of programs that work with Australia's Indigenous communities and organisations. Focusing on professional development in law, anthropology, research, management, education and other disciplines, the Project helps to facilitate educational outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Together with the Charlie Perkins Institute and the University of Canberra, the Aurora Project helps administer The Aspiration Initiative (TAI).
TAI is all about changing the conversation around Indigenous education to one of high expectations and possibilities
We offer a range of programs from high school academic camps to overseas postgraduate scholarships
"The relationships I have built and knowledge I have gained throughout all my years being part of TAI's academic enrichment program have been those that only the people on this journey will ever understand. Friendships that will last a lifetime, outer support networks that go on forever, opportunities that could take us wherever we wish to go, knowledge beyond our years and a connection to our culture that hits so close to home it can be overwhelming at times. This program and all that is involved has truly changed my entire future. University has never been so available to me and I am only waiting eagerly for what the years to come bring."

At 3 p.m. ET today, President Trump will host an event at the White House showcasing products that are Made in America. All 50 states will be represented, including Pierce Manufacturing from Appleton, Wisconsin. The president will use this as an opportunity to stress the importance of keeping businesses in the United States and bringing jobs back home from overseas.
So how do we actually get there?
It starts with enacting commonsense, pro-growth tax reform. Speaker Ryan discussed this in a speech to the National Association of Manufacturers last month:
"Today, U.S. companies are leaving to become foreign companies, when it should be the other way around. We want foreign companies to become U.S. companies. We must think differently, so that once again we make things here and export them around the world. There are a number of ways to achieve this—we in the House have our own idea—and that is one of the things that we are discussing with the administration. But the bottom line here is this: We cannot accept a system that perpetuates the drain of American businesses overseas."
As we speak, the House, Senate, and White House are working on a plan to fundamentally fix our broken tax code. And here in the House, the Ways and Means Committee is holding open hearings to discuss the benefits of tax reform for individuals and businesses. The next one will take place on Wednesday afternoon.
The nonpartisan Tax Foundation estimates that our blueprint will leapfrog our economy ahead of our competitors, create 1.7 million new full-time jobs, and raise average household incomes by 8.7 percent after taxes.
That's why we are so committed to delivering a Made in America tax code in 2017. This is the promise we made to the American people, and we intend to keep it.

There are many reasons writers use pseudonyms.
Some authors fear persecution for the views in their books because they live in a country run by religion or totalitarian politics.
Some don't want their friends to know what they write or it would affect their ability to keep their day job.
Some have pseudonyms forced on them. Most romance publishers prefer their books to be authored by pseudonyms only. The same pseudonym may be used by several authors. This also happens with some famous author names. A publisher buys the rights to use the name after the author dies and then hires ghost writers.
Some feel they need one or more pseudonyms because they write in several different genres.
Some use a pseudonym because they believe the new name will sell more books than their real name.
So what about me?
Why Do I Need a Pseudonym?
When I first began writing blog articles, my real name worked fine. You didn't search for my name. You searched for the topic or someone referred you to a post. But now I'm expecting to finish a novel in the new year and have started work on a non-fiction book. Publication could be a problem with a name like David Smith.
Amazon books shows 763 results for "David Smith" and no results for "Ivan Izo".
Google shows 8.6 million hits for "David Smith" and 421 hits for "Ivan Izo".
Enough said? Not quite. Now you want to know where I got the name Ivan Izo.
Why Ivan Izo?
I like books and movies.
I got the name "Ivan" from Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov". He is the man in the middle. Alexei chooses religion. Dmitri chooses the flesh. Ivan chooses logic and philosophy. He's branded an atheist, but clearly believes in God and the Devil since a hallucination of a devil visits him when he gets brain fever. It is religion he questions, not God. And I also find that religion often serves itself rather than God.
The name Izo is also an in between character. It comes from the Takashi Miike movie of the same name. Izo is a samurai who was executed because he was a mass murderer. Thus, he is evil and cannot go to heaven. But Izo was also obeying the lawful orders of his lord when he killed everyone in the village. Thus, he is good and cannot go to hell. He is returned to earth where he wanders eternally trying to change his fate by killing evil people. But evil can appear good and good can appear evil. He irrationally keeps finding a balance and must continue wandering.
Basically, I've chosen two names that suggest following the middle way. I suspect that when society gets out of its infancy and becomes ordered, it will be following some kind of middle way.
Ivan Who?
There could be a problem with the name Izo. It's hard to remember and that can be bad for an author. On the other hand, nobody will be asking, "Which Ivan Izo do you mean?" I could keep searching for an easy pseudonym, but easy would be more common and that's the problem I'm trying to solve. I need to stop searching.
I will be signing all of my new writing "Ivan Izo". The old articles will still say "David Smith". I will also have the about page updated by New Year's with something along the lines of, "Writer on Fire is written by Ivan Izo, the pseudonym of writer David Smith".
Article by Ivan Izo.

The Thomas & Betts facility in Athens reopened on Monday. The facility was temporarily closed as loved ones mourned the loss of two employees who were shot and killed by a co-worker.
A statement released by Thomas & Betts reads:
We are profoundly saddened by the loss of lives in the September 22 shooting at our Thomas and Betts facility in Athens, Tennessee. The authorities are conducting an investigation, and, at this point, we are deferring questions to them. We are cooperating closely with the authorities.
Our prayers and thoughts are with the victims' families and our employees during this difficult time. We are providing all the support we can, including making grief counselors available to all of the facility's employees.
It's been a difficult week for the employees at Thomas & Betts after the loss of three workers. Now they're trying to learn how to live with a new normal as they return to work.
Crime tape still lines the front entry at the factory more than a week after a deadly shooting.
The TBI said Ricky Swafford shot and killed two of his supervisors after an argument at work before turning the gun on himself.

RELATED: Athens shooting 911 calls show bravery, emotion
68-year-old Sandra Cooley and 44-year-old James Zotter were the two employees killed; both had been with the company for nearly 20 years. It's why only 11 days after the shooting employees are still grieving.
"Trying to get back to some kind of normalcy is probably the biggest step we've taken," Pat Joyce, a company spokesperson said.
Following the attack the company shut down and gave staff paid time off to grieve.
Monday employees returned to work, they say taking each day one at a time.
"Day one is going to be one step in front of the other," Joyce said.
The Athens plant employs nearly 350 people. Grief counselors were on-hand Monday.
Thomas & Betts say they will continue to pay for time off for those who need additional time.
In light of the recent attack, a spokesperson tells Channel 3 they will continue to update emergency response plans and provide training for their employees.
Many employees say it will still take time for them to heal, and for some returning to the place where it all happened can do just that.

TOS = Terms of Service.If it's further discussion from other threads you've made, your account has been shut down for a "TOS violation". No one would say that you've been shut down for a "TOS".How long does a ban from Google's Adsense Program last for?Forever.
Once you've agreed to or accepted an organization's terms of service, they are in effect.And just in case anyone is unclear (or in denial about how the TOS work), it's your responsibility to read and understand any and all terms before you indicate that you will accept the TOS. Because failure to understand does not absolve you of your responsibilities in regards to the terms in action, or any repercussions that might result from a violation.
Um, as long as you want it to?
Bad Denno. I don't think that's what Harvey was asking.
Dennos, I'm glad all three of you replied.
I do not know what TOS is?
Yup. Same here.
Terms of Service it is o.k. not to know all of us have had to learn abbreviations and so many of us are still learning.
Thanks thought I was stupid or something.
Harvey, are you asking about a TOS violation?Who's terms of service are you asking about?
wyan,My ad-sense account. A friend thought she was helping me.
And yet you've started another thread dedicated to you bitching about adsense.Is that all you do is complain when things do not go your way? Or is that you simply refuse to understand that the mistake was actually yours for the blame?Either way, this isn't productive and apparently, you are fault for not accurately reading the TOS of adsense to begin with.Had you read it, not interpret it, then you would have known that you discussing your ways of earning with others, could lead to consequences, such as the termination of your adsense account.This is all I'm going to say on the topic. The fault is yours, not someone else. Do try and have a good day.
cag,I see I shall have to spell things out for you very carefully. This is NOT like anything else I have posted. Since ad-sense would not answer any correspondence I sent, I came here for an answer to a question I have never asked. That being; can I be reinstated? Your comment about bitching is not exactly pleasing to me. Have I ever insulted you? If you don't like what I say; why respond. Silence is a virtue, you should try it some time.
Yes Harvey, and this has been discussed several times on various threads.Once you've banned from Adsense, it's forever. You are right, they won't listen to explanations. Their view is - ignorance is no excuse. So you just need to get over it, there's nothing you can do. As others have told you, there are other ways to make money online. Stop wasting time bitching about what you can't change, and get on with investigating new options.
Marisa,What you stated is all I wanted toknow, at least you didn't get nasty like above.
That right there is why I don't tell any friends about AdSense or how it works.
I thought that TOS was the result of T.S. Eliots wife putting his initials on her ass!
haha Logic no wonder I love u.
Nah its short for TOS-ser after putting up hate threads about Islam disguised as "Oh dear look what some nasty man sent me" in at least three threads.
You are my inspiration BP!
Is it about Adsense TOS ?
I think so. Harvey's had some trouble with it recently, but I'm not sure what his question here is.
skyfire,I received the response I needed.
yeah i too think that harvey is talking about GOOGLE ADSENSE TOS violation...... has your acount also been disabled by google for TOS violation sir??
mah,Yes, and they would not listen to my explanation.
Its really stupid.... i got the same status "disabled for TOS violation" ...i had asked around on adsense forum, no one there had any answer why they did it...
He got that status cause he's banned for invalid clicks. We're not aware of your case. Maybe your application got denied when you applied (?) from affiliate settings. [i'm not sure about you]
RajanI've seen you mention this and I suggested you email the team at HubPages, because it could be a glitch in your account. Have you done that yet?
yes i did shoot them a mail. They said that they can not do anything from their side and i should contact the adsense team. I just started a thread in the adsense forums and no one there could help me much on that....so i have just started writing for forums as of now...thanks for you help..
raj,There doesn't seem to be any answer, but Google's lack of answers.
I believe Squidoo might be an option for you Harvey. If I'm reading their Payment FAQ properly everything goes into their account and then is divided up and sent out via PayPal. So you earn on their account - not yours.But certainly read their TOS and rules again - don't go by me. I keep thinking I'm going to build lenses and never get to it.
I joined Squidoo a while back and produced just one lens. Haven't been back since, because I found the site to be unbelievably S-L-O-W.
Empress,I did the same.
I hope this is advice that Harvey seriously considers.
He was only asking about the length of the ban, and unfortunately the answer is usually forever.
Nicely said
Blondie,Thank you also.
this,Thank you for understanding.
no getting around them
Ohma,They keep all monies from before anything happened; what a racket!
Harvey I am sorry this is happening to you. I really do not know what to say about it as you have been offered some very good advice from others. While it may seem wrong to you I am sure that Google did not get as far as they have without understanding exactly what they can and cannot do. I am sure that if they are doing it it is legal.
Ohma,It is definately legal! My complaint is that they would not communicate with me. Also; how can I stop anyone from clicking?
Harvey, how's the discussions going with your lawyer? You going to go for the class action? Because Google has heard your explanation and I guess their non-response means that no further discussion will be entered into nor will they be changing their mind.
dark,I'm too ill to carry on a fight.
Sorry to hear about your ill health Harvey. Organising a lawsuit is hard enough for someone who's feeling in a fit and fine condition.The Google Adsense Team don't give second chances. They have hundreds of thousands of Publishers and who knows how many thousands apply each day, so losing a few hundred every day would be of small concern to them.I'd be doing as Marisa suggests and investigate new options. Squidoo has a different feel to it, and may feel difficult at first for a long time hubber, but once you get used to it it's almost as easy as publishing a hub.
dark,I wrote once on Squid and got zero responses. I was advised what to write about by a media savy friend.
dark,It must be great to almost have a monopoly.

Starry-eyed Disney fans, take note: The fourth season of ABC's Once Upon A Time isn't coming until September, but we already have reason to get excited: the main trio from Frozen will join the citizens of Storybrooke for the first time. Fringe's Georgina Haig will play cryokinetic queen Elsa; Scott Michael Foster will embody Kristoff, and the irrepressible Anna will be played by fresh face Elizabeth Lail. Here's why they're all the perfect people to bring Disney's cartoon Scandinavia/Fantasia to live action.
