Part of being a bride is dreaming about how you will look on your wedding day. Bringing those dreams to life where things get tricky. Nowadays, there are so many different styling options for brides to consider. One thing is for sure, in the Tampa area, your hair must look fabulous as well as resist the heat and humidity. Your wedding hair will underpin your entire look that you have created with your makeup and gown.
For long hair, the updo is the contemporary style. However, some brides feel certain updo styles are not modern enough. Discuss your updo choices with your hairdresser, as many modern styles are available to choose from.
There are many modern choices for short wedding hair styles from such as a pixie cut or a short bob. The advantage of these beautiful styles is they keep the focus on your gown. You can also consider including some hair accessories such as a tiara or flowers to complete the look.
Be sure to discuss and present the accessories to your hair stylist so they may help incorporate them into your look! Of course, you can always consider extensions if you would like that longer hair look.
Maybe you're unsure whether to wear your hair up or down? In that case, you may feel more comfortable with the half updo.
Be sure that this style suits your facial structure, typically women's faces will look larger when they choose this hairstyle.
You can wear your hair up in a classic twisted knot, updo or down. There are many options for medium length hair during weddings.
For best results, be sure to keep your hair healthy and maintained during the weeks before the wedding. If you need assistance, a mobile wedding hairdresser is an excellent option. They can be onsite anytime to meet your flexible and hectic wedding schedule.
Contact City Lights Beauty Agency for additional details or quotes! We would be honored to make your special day perfect!
If you plan on coloring, lightening, or darkening your hair before your wedding, you need to consider a few factors. You want a color that is dark enough to look magical under flash photography. However, you want it to look great during your honeymoon and the following weeks!
These are 5 tips for planning your hair color from a professional wedding hair stylist:
(1) Contact your hairdresser at least 3 months before your wedding day. Optimally, you will need a few appointments to consult and decide on your hairstyle and color.
(2) Always bring all hair accessories to your meetings with your hair stylist. Knowing the accessories will help the stylist decide the best aesthetic route for your hair color and style.
(3) Be sure any color, highlights or lowlights are done one week before the wedding. You want the color to adhere to the hair so that it can look its best.
(4) Never shampoo your hair within 2 days of it being color treated or else you risk stripping the color off. Let the hair color settle for 2 days, then use color-safe shampoo.
(5) Finally, be sure your hair is healthy and moisturized to make color pop. To do so, be sure you keep your hair conditioned with sulfate free shampoo.

The Perfect Wedding Makeup
Perfect for you is the only type of perfect that matters! There are a few things you can do to ensure that your makeup artist is able to deliver that perfect experience:
Be farmiliar with your style. Your style is unique! You want your makeup to enhance how uniquely beautiful you are. It is important that your wedding look is familiar.

Envision what you want. Obviously, not everyone is going to know exactly what they want and that is ok! Just be prepared to explore your vision with your artist. Going through galleries or social media and discussing what looks you like directly with your makeup artist helps them understand your vision!
Coordinate your availability. Not only weddings, but all major occasions require diligent planning. Be sure that you and your makeup artist have no scheduling conflicts before you book them! Be transparent about your needs so that they may schedule their time, pricing, and staff accordingly.

WAAS-WUC-KHU Colloquium
in Commemoration of the 35th Anniversary of
UN International Day of Peace
Main Theme: "New Paradigm and Planetary Engagement: A Call for responsibility"
Humanity today faces critical challenges. The choice before us is either evolution or extinction. As Pope Francis encyclical, Laudato Si, suggests, unless we, the global community, can find ways to revitalize the healthiness of an integral ecology that incorporates mutually inter-connected human, social, and environmental ecological systems, the human species is not sustainable. The starting point for meeting these challenges is to awaken human minds to the need for radical change of course. This should necessarily lead to a quantum shift in the paradigm of education, especially university education. This Colloquium provided a venue to reflect upon the reality which humanity confronts today and to envision our best course of action, including a new role for higher educational institutions as architects of the future.

Today's Music: Violent Femmes – Blister in the Sun
*Disclaimer – The story below is as true as I remember it. But I was pretty drunk at the time.
This story takes place probably during my third or fourth year of college. Definitely not my fifth.
So I'm in this bar (as I often was). On a Sunday afternoon (when I often was).
Me and the bartender (whose name I just realize I have completely forgotten) are hanging out. I'm drinking up the last of the money I had, but that's ok. I spent a lot of time in this bar, and really never wanted for a drink. When I was ahead, I spent it all, when I was behind, they covered me.
So Bartender and I are just shooting the breeze. It's a beautiful spring day, so no one is around.Just the two of us. There might have been some card playing, but I don't recall…
In walk Jimmy and the boys, back from a day at the pitch and putt. They're laughing and telling stories, ragging on each others golfing as they settle in at the bar.
Jimmy pulls out a small wad of cash. "Aright fellas, what are you having?" Everyone calls out their drink orders.
Jimmy turns to me.
"Sorry Jimmy, I'm tapped"
"That wasn't the question, Guap. What'll you have?"
See what I mean? It was that kind of bar. So I get another beer.
This goes on for several rounds. We're telling stories, throwing darts, and I'm close to hammered by the middle of the afternoon.
So Jimmy calls out for another round. The Terror declines a beer, says "Give me a Jameson. I can drink that smoother than anything else."
(There? Did you see that? That was my cue.)
"Hah", I call out. "I can drink that smoother than you"
The Terror gives me the once over, sees that I'm drunk. We'd been hanging out a long time.
"If I drink this smoother than you" he says, "What do I win?"
At this point, I should have shut up. But I'm me. So I didn't.
I stand next to him at the corner of the bar, thinking a moment.
"If you drink that smoother than me, I will dance naked…" – open my hand and slap the bar top…"On"…slap.."this"…slap…"BAR!!!"
Bartender pulls another round, sets up a filled rocks glass of Jameson for The Terror, sets up a full rocks glass of Jameson for me.
(For the record, there was nothing smart about this. Having once sucked down half a fifth of Jack Daniels once, I never developed a like for Whiskey. More of a tequila man, me…)
Everyone watches as The Terror downs his shot. Smooth.
All eyes turn to me as I down my shot. Smooth.
"I don't know, Guap", chimes in one of the guys."I think Terror was smoother"
"What?!?" I shoot back, surprised. Considering I was drunk enough where balance was now an issue, I thought I downed it pretty well. One quick shot, no spillage, no dribbling. (I don't have to like a liquor to give it respect. I'm classy that way.)
Nods and murmurs of agreement form the guys. They thought John was smoother.
But I'm a man of my word."CLEAR THE BAR!!!" I shout as my battle cry.
Everyones eyes fly all the way open in surprise as I start getting out of my shirt.
"Guap", says The Terror, "You don't have to do this."
CLEAR THE BAR!!!" as I take off my boat shoes.
"Dude" says Jimmy, "you really don't have to do this".
"He's doing it fellas. Move your drinks!"
The bar at this place was a long U – twenty feet along the length, two five foot sections at the ends. I was at the corner of the bottom (furthest from the door) of the bar.
They cleared the bar.
I hopped up in the altogether and started to dance my naked self down towards the front.
Now above the bar was a lowered section of roof. I'm about six feet tall, and I had about 4 feet of room, so I was hunched over. Remember that. It will be important in a minute.
So I'm dancing down the bar, hunched over, knees wide for balance and because there is really no way to keep them in.
The guys are laughing themselves silly, and I'm trying to see and not fall over.
I make it to the end of the bar, down the return and turn around.
So now you have a pretty good idea of the scene. Me, naked, dancing on top of the bar, knees wide for balance, turning back around.
What you don't know, because I haven't mentioned it yet, is the girl. Sitting in the corner of the bar. Right where I'm starting to turning around.
She is sitting there, head turned away, hand over her face.
She picks that moment to look up to see if it's safe.
As I'm halfway through my turn.Knees spread. Right. In front. Of her.
Fortunately, I'm already bent over, so I don't have to yell as i slur "I'm sorry, I lost a bet".
She "Eeps" and hides her face again.
I stumble back down the bar, and get off, to the cheers and applause of the guys. Who hid my clothes.
they left behind my boat shoes and belt. So I put those on, hung a couple of strategic napkins from the belt and ordered another beer.
Jimmy couldn't stop laughing, but managed to sputter out that we all hadn't eaten in a while, and we should all take a walk up to Dunkin Donuts to get some food.
I was halfway out the door before they pulled me back.
It was a good day. But not the last time I was naked in a bar…

TV has been in the trenches of the dating wars for years. From the once boundary-bursting hookups of "Sex and the City" through the sexual mishaps and pratfalls of "Happy Endings" to the self-analytical and sometimes degrading pairings of "Girls," the process of meeting and mating is always ripe for tragicomedy.
Keeping pace with society's evolving nonchalance about all things sexual, a TV comedy now narrows the focus.
A new ABC half-hour series is set entirely in a fictional Manhattan bar and served with a twist: The entire first season chronicles 10 people in a bar on one night, moment to moment, drink to drink, with 13 episodes charting the course of the hunt.
"Mixology," premiering Feb. 26, is a comedic concoction intended to serve the dating demo. Presumably these characters will have to kiss a lot of frogs before finding their prince/princess.
With flashbacks to explore each character's personality, starting at birth, the story traces the expected bar phenomena — wingmen and vomit — with a voiceover narrator offering generalizations about humanity. How did each character become who they are? What elements from their past figure into who they are looking for now? What drives them to make certain choices? The house special is raunchy humor, with a semi-sweet chaser.
The subterfuge and strategizing involved in picking up a date in a bar has been examined in countless films and TV shows. The multiple lines of attack, the array of poses and pretenses and outright lies have been previously inspected. And the lexicon of fantasies and conquests has been thoroughly aired. These guys want to "smash it," "crush it," "knock it out," "bang it" and, of course, "hit that." Endlessly.
(Let's assume the Ph.D. theses have already been written concerning the physical violence involved in modern coupling semantics.)
There's nothing groundbreaking in the set-up beyond the innovative time- frame device.
So far, it's less funny than intriguing, a way to shake p the sitcom.
One thing "Mixology" has going for it is the large ensemble. There are lots of single characters in search of love/lust/a diversion, and lots of potential matchups. If you can't stand one set of personalities, the story quickly moves on to the next pair-of-the-moment.
So far, Adan Canto ("The Following") as Dominic the bartender, and Alexis Carra ("Incredible Girl") as a single mom are among the more intriguing players.
The other thing the show has going for it is its time slot: Launching behind "Modern Family" can only help.
The series, the first scripted entry from Ryan Seacrest Productions, seems awfully superficial, at least in the first three episodes available for preview. The writers will have to prove their claim that it's about more than hooking up. With luck, characters will develop and relationships will deepen before last call.

Critics Rating 2/5 stars. 21 And Over – Straight-A college student Jeff Chang has always done what he was supposed to do. But when his two best friends Casey and Miller surprise him with a visit for his 21st birthday, Jeff Chang decides to do everything he wants to do for a change, even though his important medical school interview is early the next morning. What was supposed to be one beer becomes a night of humiliation, over indulgence and utter debauchery in this coming-of-drinking-age-comedy, from the writers of THE HANGOVER, about living youth to its fullest.

Money has to come in from somewhere.
Well put, Philip. How true that is!
The rich do not take welfare benefits.
The rich pay most of the taxes that provide welfare benefits.

Never mind the true Joey above, Pfunnie boy. I totally agree that war is truly glorious as I plan to start another one once I get elected to the White House.

That's true Bill. But you weren't as cute as Steve Jobs when you two were in your 20's.

NYC exhibition features stage and film costumers from Katharine Hepburn's private collection
NEW YORK – A new exhibition is hailing the fashion sense of Katharine Hepburn, whose trademark khakis and open-collar shirts were decidedly unconventional in the 1930s and 40s, when girdles and stockings were the order of the day.
The fiercely independent Hepburn famously once said: "Anytime I hear a man say he prefers a woman in a skirt, I say, 'Try one. Try a skirt.'"
But skirts and dresses abound in "Katharine Hepburn: Dressed for Stage and Screen" at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, which opens Thursday.
Hepburn, who died in 2003 at age 96, saved almost all the costumes from her long career that included four Oscars and such memorable films as "The Philadelphia Story," ''The African Queen," ''Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" and "On Golden Pond." Forty are on view at the exhibition, which runs through Jan. 12.
One of the first things visitors will notice is how slender Hepburn was — she had a 20-inch waist — and a grouping of seven khaki pants artfully arranged on a pair of mannequin legs.
"The fact that she wore slacks and wanted to be comfortable influenced women's ready-to-wear in the United States," said Jean Druesedow, director of the Kent State University Museum, which was given 700 items from Hepburn's estate. Kent State was selected because it's one of the country's only museums of performance clothes.
"That image said to the American woman 'Look you don't have to be in your girdle and stockings and tight dress. You can be comfortable. That was probably the first aspect of becoming a fashion icon," said Druesedow, a co-curator of the exhibition.
The strong-willed actress known for taking charge of her career worked closely with all her designers to decide her performing wardrobe.
"They understood what would help her characters, what she would feel comfortable wearing ... how it would support the story," Druesedow said.
Margaret Furse, an English designer who created Hepburn's wardrobes for "The Lion in Winter," ''A Delicate Balance" and "Love Among the Ruins," went shopping with the star and talked extensively about what kinds of things would set the scene.
Among the highlights is a stunning satin and lace wedding gown created by Howard Greer for her role as Stella Surrege in "The Lake." The 1933 production was her first major Broadway role and also a huge flop. Writer and wit Dorothy Parker described her performance as running "the gamut of emotion from A to B." The experience taught Hepburn to have a bigger say in what roles she accepted, said Barbara Cohen-Stratyner, curator of exhibitions at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.
When she really liked a costume she had copies made for herself, sometimes in a different color or fabric. A silk dress and coat by Norman Hartnell from "Suddenly, Last Summer" and a green raw silk jumpsuit by Valentina from "The Philadelphia Story" were among the pieces she had copied.
Comfort was paramount to Hepburn — being able to throw her leg over a chair or sit on the floor. She always wore her 'uniform' — khakis and a shirt — to rehearsals and pant ensembles to publicity appearances.
A companion book, "Katharine Hepburn: Rebel Chic," describes how RKO executives hid Hepburn's trousers in an effort to persuade her to abandon them.
"Her response was to threaten to walk around the lot naked. Though she only stripped down as far as her silk underwear before stepping out of her dressing room, she made her point — and she got her trousers back," fashion writer Nancy MacDonell wrote in an essay for the book.
But comfort didn't mean sacrificing style — and she certainly knew how to be glamorous especially when a role called for it.
In her private life, she shopped at the major cutting-edge New York couturiers and worked with the best costume shops of the period, including Muriel King and Valentina, said Cohen-Stratyner.
"She really appreciated good fabric and good construction," she said. "Even her trousers are couture."
The exhibition is supplemented by film clips, movie posters, and archival photographs of Hepburn wearing the very costumes worn by the mannequins. Her false eyelashes, makeup trays and sensible shoes are also on display.

HP acquired Autonomy, a sophisticated business analytics system, in 2012 for $13.1 billion. But in a move soon afterward, CEO Meg Whitman was forced Nov. 20 to take an $8.8 million write-down on the purchase, in a move that shocked both HP investors and Wall Street. Whitman and other officials have said HP was misled on Autonomy's real value by suspect accounting.
HP said the write-down was "linked to serious accounting improprieties, disclosure failures and outright misrepresentations at Autonomy." Autonomy founder Mike Lynch denies any irregularities and has set up a website disputing HP's claims.
During the Q&A part of the annual meeting, a representative of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) raised a question about whether a committee had been appointed to investigate the purchase. Company officials acknowledged it had, consisting of Ralph Whitworth, an activist investor who joined the board in 2011; Gary Reiner, former CIO of GE; and former Wachovia CEO Kennedy Thompson, who was also a member of the committee that oversaw the Autonomy purchase.
[ Want to know what Meg Whitman had to say about HP's future during the first-quarter earnings report? See HP CEO Dismisses Break-Up Talk. ]
SEIU has substantial pension funds invested in HP, its representative said during the meeting, and any investigation of the purchase should be kept clear of board members who advised or participated in it. "Mr. Thompson's participation (on the committee) is a great conflict and will not benefit the company in the long run," said the speaker.
The comment was noted, but the committee membership remained unchanged. "The independence of this committee is established ultimately by a court of law," Whitman advised the spokesman.
Institutional Shareholder Services had opposed the re-election of board chairman Ray Lane, as well as McKesson CEO John Hammergren and Thompson. Glass Lewis & Co. recommended re-electing Lane, but encouraged investors to oust several directors, including Hammergren, Thompson, Rajiv Gupta and Internet pioneer Marc Andreessen.
After the votes had been counted, all 11 board members received "the requisite 50% of the votes" to win re-election, it was reported at the end of the meeting. The report masked the fact that the votes for two board members, Hammergren and Thompson, had been unusually close, according to the Associated Press. Some institutional investors and stockholder rights groups felt the pair should take some of the responsibility for HP's missteps over the past year and had campaigned against them. They were re-elected with 54% and 55% of the vote, compared to the 81% each received last year.
The two are the longest-serving members of the board and were members of committees with oversight of the Autonomy acquisition and an earlier deal to acquire EDS. They were also the most experienced parties present when the board botched its handling of a dispute with former CEO Mark Hurd and ended up accepting his resignation. Public confidence in the company plummeted as the board hastily replaced him with Leo Apotheker, who took the company on an 11-month downhill ride before being dismissed. Half of the company's market value disappeared in the process.
Lane was opposed by Institutional Investors Services and Glass Lewis & Co., a shareholder advisory firm. He received 59% of the vote, a wider margin than Hammergren and Thompson, but still tight compared to the historic norm of 75-80% of the vote for a sitting director. By HP rules, if a director receives less than 50% of the vote, he or she must resign.
Most of the board's proposals received wide majorities in the voting. But when a questioner asked if any soul-searching was going on within the board, activist investor and board member Whitworth responded: "I think you can expect to see some evolution of the board in the coming years, months maybe." It was a surprisingly contrite note, as other board members and CEO Meg Whitman maintained more of a stiff upper lip.
Asked whether she thinks she could do her job better with a revamped board, Whitman responded: "I feel the board lineup we have right now is helping us turn around the company." A shareholder speaker then warned her that some board members might not be re-elected, and "the board should comment on that" if it happens.
Whitman extended her endorsement to existing HP employees, saying, "HP people are remarkable people ... You see confidence in their step. They're saying, 'We're coming back, and we're coming back strong.'"
Asked how she would restore the spirit of Hewlett and Packard, Whitman responded: "It's really a hard thing to kill founders' DNA in this company, and that's a good thing for HP."

Rockford residents throwing away less, yet trash bills to rise
ROCKFORD — Thirteen years ago Rockford paid $8 million to haul a year's worth of trash and dump it in a landfill.
Last year that dropped to $6 million.
The savings aren't because costs are cheaper or there are fewer households to serve; operational costs have actually sharply risen and the number of households grown slightly.
And it's not because the city is recycling more. The city is actually recycling less now than it did in 2000.
It's because Rockfordians are simply throwing away less stuff.
Rockford households threw out 76,928 tons of waste in 2000. By 2012, that amount fell 16 percent to 64,290 tons.
Recycling totals dropped at nearly the same rate, falling by 14 percent since 2000.
Those drops are most likely because of the economic downturn, said Karen Rozmus, past president of Solid Waste Association of North America's Illinois chapter.
"When people are not eating out, when they're not splurging on new clothes or new carpeting or new furniture, there's just no waste," Rozmus said.
Rozmus is the environmental service manager for the village of Oak Park, which has seen the same drops in solid waste collection and recycling over the past several years.
Tonnage totals have started to stabilize in Oak Park and will likely pick up again if the economy takes off, she said.
While the tonnage of waste collected in Rockford has been slightly dropping since 2000, it took a more drastic dive in 2008 at the onset of the Great Recession.
On top of the recession, there's been a trend among manufacturers to make products lighter, said John Lichty, president and chief executive officer of Rock River Environmental Services, the city's waste collector and landfill operator.
"Packaging, especially, we've seen from vendors and manufacturers is just lighter than it used to be," Lichty said. "Couple that with the downturn in the economy and there's no way we could have predicted we would be collecting this much less."
Rockford is billed by tons of waste collected and dumped, at least until the city's contract with Rock River Environmental Services expires at the end of the year.
The city is expected to sign a seven-year deal with either them or Advanced Disposal in the coming weeks. Both companies would charge per-household instead of per-ton this time around because of the years of declining waste.
But while the city's bill has been dropping with lower garbage totals, the bills to homeowners and residents stayed the same.
The City Council sets a flat monthly rate every year based on estimates of how much waste would likely be collected.
When the city overestimates how much trash will be picked up, the surplus is put into the sanitation fund, which pays for street sweeping, tree planting and other forestry services, said Carrie Eklund, Rockford central services manager.
The fund's surplus totaled $5 million at the end of 2012, Eklund said.
Alderman Karen Elyea has proposed using a chunk of the surplus — up to $500,000 — to demolish dozens of empty houses next year.

ALAMO, Texas (AP) – For years, Sonia Limas would drag her daughters to the emergency room whenever they fell sick. As an illegal immigrant, she had no health insurance, and the only place she knew to seek treatment was the hospital – the most expensive setting for those covering the cost.
The family's options improved somewhat a decade ago with the expansion of community health clinics, which offered free or low-cost care with help from the federal government. But President Barack Obama's health care overhaul threatens to roll back some of those services if clinics and hospitals are overwhelmed with newly insured patients and can't afford to care for as many poor families.
To be clear, Obama's law was never intended to help Limas and an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants like her. Instead, it envisions that 32 million uninsured Americans will get access to coverage by 2019. Because that should mean fewer uninsured patients showing up at hospitals, the Obama program slashed the federal reimbursement for uncompensated care.
But in states with large illegal immigrant populations, the math may not work, especially if lawmakers don't expand Medicaid, the joint state-federal health program for the poor and disabled.
When the reform has been fully implemented, illegal immigrants will make up the nation's second-largest population of uninsured, or about 25 percent. The only larger group will be people who qualify for insurance but fail to enroll, according to a 2012 study by the Washington-based Urban Institute.
And since about two-thirds of illegal immigrants live in just eight states, those areas will have a disproportionate share of the uninsured to care for.
In communities 'where the number of undocumented immigrants is greatest, the strain has reached the breaking point,' Rich Umbdenstock, president of the American Hospital Association, wrote last year in a letter to Obama, asking him to keep in mind the uncompensated care hospitals gave to that group. 'In response, many hospitals have had to curtail services, delay implementing services, or close beds.'
The federal government has offered to expand Medicaid, but states must decide whether to take the deal. And in some of those eight states – including Texas, Florida and New Jersey – hospitals are scrambling to determine whether they will still have enough money to treat the remaining uninsured.
Without a Medicaid expansion, the influx of new patients and the looming cuts in federal funding could inflict 'a double whammy' in Texas, said David Lopez, CEO of the Harris Health System in Houston, which spends 10 to 15 percent of its $1.2 billion annual budget to care for illegal immigrants.
Realistically, taxpayers are already paying for some of the treatment provided to illegal immigrants because hospitals are required by law to stabilize and treat any patients that arrive in an emergency room, regardless of their ability to pay. The money to cover the costs typically comes from federal, state and local taxes.
A solid accounting of money spent treating illegal immigrants is elusive because most hospitals do not ask for immigration status. But some states have tried.
California, which is home to the nation's largest population of illegal immigrants, spent an estimated $1.2 billion last year through Medicaid to care for 822,500 illegal immigrants.
The New Jersey Hospital Association in 2010 estimated that it cost between $600 million and $650 million annually to treat 550,000 illegal immigrants.
And in Texas, a 2010 analysis by the Health and Human Services Commission found that the agency had provided $96 million in benefits to illegal immigrants, up from $81 million two years earlier. The state's public hospital districts spent an additional $717 million in uncompensated care to treat that population.
If large states such as Florida and Texas make good on their intention to forgo federal money to expand Medicaid, the decision 'basically eviscerates' the effects of the health care overhaul in those areas because of 'who lives there and what they're eligible for,' said Lisa Clemans-Cope, a senior researcher at the Urban Institute.
Seeking to curb expenses, hospitals might change what qualifies as an emergency or cap the number of uninsured patients they treat. And although it's believed states with the most illegal immigrants will face a smaller cut, they will still lose money.
The potential impacts of reform are a hot topic at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. In addition to offering its own charity care, some MD Anderson oncologists volunteer at a county-funded clinic at Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital that largely treats the uninsured.
'In a sense we've been in the worst-case scenario in Texas for a long time,' said Lewis Foxhall, MD Anderson's vice president of health policy in Houston. 'The large number of uninsured and the large low-income population creates a very difficult problem for us.'
Community clinics are a key part of the reform plan and were supposed to take up some of the slack for hospitals. Clinics received $11 billion in new funding over five years so they could expand to help care for a swell of newly insured who might otherwise overwhelm doctors' offices. But in the first year, $600 million was cut from the centers' usual allocation, leaving many to use the money to fill gaps rather than expand.
There is concern that clinics could themselves be inundated with newly insured patients, forcing many illegal immigrants back to emergency rooms.
Limas, 44, moved to the border town of Alamo 13 years ago with her husband and three daughters. Now single, she supports the family by teaching a citizenship class in Spanish at the local community center and selling cookies and cakes she whips up in her trailer. Soon, she hopes to seek a work permit of her own.
For now, the clinic helps with basic health care needs. If necessary, Limas will return to the emergency room, where the attendants help her fill out paperwork to ensure the government covers the bills she cannot afford.
'They always attended to me,' she said, 'even though it's slow.'

:::60% or 420 million men in India think that raiping and burning wife alive for dowry by spraying kerosene and lighting her up is acceptable
:::20% or 140 million women have been gang raiped in India
:::There is a raipe every 2 seconds in India
:::95% of hindus don't have toilets in India
80-year-old woman rhaped in Tamil Nadu, India
SALEM (Tamil Nadu): In a shocking incident, an 80-year old woman was allegedly rhaped by a 41-year-old man following which she was admitted to a hospital in a serious condition.
My name is Shankar and I am ashamed to be an Indian. My mama calls me Shanku the Skunku because of body odor issues. You can call me Beef Shanks. My partner calls me Hank.
My name is Shankar and I am ashamed to be an Indian. My mama sent me a tiffin box . When I opened it there was a p@nis floating in the chicken curry. It was her neighbor's who raiped her. She cut it off. We are a nation of raypists.
Call it penis curry. Lol
India has always been about people riding on donkey carts, cows crapping on streets, people defecating on sidewalks, sadhu snake charmers and rope climbers. Rest is just smoke n mirrors
Afghanistan reminds me of India. No Toilets ! In the former, they go on poppy fields and rub on stone to cleanse. In the later, onto the rail tracks to dump and rub against the steel. Different paths to same goal.. Defecate under the sky !
India needs to attend to its people and stop spending money on nukes to fight enemies that don't exist.
There are some 2 million beggars in Delhi. Over 3 million in Mumbai. Nearly 5 million in Kolkata the beggar capital of the world. In Hyderabad one in every 254 people is engaged in begging.
While most of the nation are rhapists.
In some villages in India, the young girls are routinely threatened, abused and killed all under Khap (tribe/clan) verdicts. It is acceptable for the families to feed pesticide pills to the teenage girls and then dispose off their bodies by burning them without any police records.
Oh, this is so bad. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I will call up the Human Rights folks and have an investigation started.
In India, according to the National Family Health Survey III 66% of children in India are underweight because their mothers are also largely undernourished, 59% wasted or too thin for height and 58% have stunted growth. Around 79% of those under the age of three are anaemic.
Throwing acid, poisoning children, rhaping five month old girls and handicapped women, massacring minorities maybe the norm in India but not for me.... Never will be. Fork the terrorist pig called India. Rope the hindus.
I am now going to watch NFL Combine Show.
And we are back to boots on the ground everywhere. Good old fashioned war.
ISIS, like Saddam, has nuclear weapons so let us go invade them.
We are not fighting anyone. But we need boots on the ground.
We wanna go fishing salmon in the desert. Lol
You eat caca...
We also wanna stay longer in Afghanistan now. We love PTSD.
You nailed it @Travis in blue! W.Hores in Bombay are having helluva time with GIs on RR. It has become Bangkok.
Anyone seen my hero @Blue Saffron lately? I heard he took his Wall Street Firm public and closed the IPO.
Saw him the other day at the office of our common business attorney. He said be will be in touch soon.
How can we leave all the opium behind in Afghanistan. Yup the talibans are regrouping again.... bad guys. Lol
Boots on ground? Where the heck do you keep boots? LMFAO. We couldn't drone away people's beliefs. Or the Palestinian issue. Or the Indian Occupied Kashmir.
Changing the topic....
C hild p ornography in India is legal. In February 2009, the Parliament of India passed the Information Technology Bill," legalizing the creation and transmission of c hild p ornography. The bill enables India's businesses to indulge in c hild p ornography.
'140 million child brides by 2020 likely in India'
According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), if the trends continue between 2011 and 2020, more than 140 million girls will become child brides, of which at least 18.5 million will be under the age of 5.
An American woman will one day legally wed her donkey or mule. Don't laugh. That's what they did when the idea of men legally marrying other men in church was first uttered.
Boots on ground is a misnomer. Should be balls on ground.
Yup you need big ones hanging low to the ground. LMFAO.
A lot of black americans are in jail while the other most are deployed getting killed. And then Rudy thinks Obama does not love America. Ask not whether you love America. Ask whether America loves you.
Does it bother you that rhaypes are an instrument of India's national policy? It sure does me and other civilized folks.
Sure. But then again these Indians are neanderthals.
No one cares you tard.
Funny how these losers quietly monitor this board pretending to be cool. Oh we dont care they say but still post comments. Lol
U might as well talk to yourself in front of a mirror. Nobody is listening to u. U tard.
Only thing funny is how dumb u are.
India. India. India.
U are more interested in India than indians.
Indian men are already allowed to marry their "pillows". Really. Google it.
One day American women will be wed to donkeys in churches. With the same pronounced blessings church leaders give over sodomite couples already...that were doubted to ever happen not too many years ago.
"Nah" says the old hag church lady gossip monger
Lmao. Nah. I wonder if you, in your abject ignorance, has ever come across a little legal term called "informed consent"? It doesn't apply soley to the medical profession, you know.
You'll be waiting a very long time to marry your plowhorse, Jethro, in church or otherwise.
Yes. Americans...particularly North Americans... are world famous for policing others but not themselves. In the news, anyway. In reality, N. Americans are the most policed people on earth.
Last year about 300,000 US children went missing and have yet to be seen or heard from again. (Projected FBI stat of 282,000 from 2009)
They are mostly children with healthy organs. And XBOX/PlayStation pre-programmed kids.
...by the time the evil men who kidnap them are done, children will be mussing organs and have sore buttholes. Or be boiled in oil sacrificed to Molech as always. Or be flying around in "UFOs" using XBOX/PlayStation controls. Altered to look like artists conceptions of what an alien might look like if real.

Apple isn't normally the first company to put new chips from Intel, AMD, and Nvidia in its products, but the wait for the new iMacs has been long by any standard. Some 19 months have passed between the early May introduction of the 2011 iMac and the late November shipping dates for this year's models. But the Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs the 21.5-inch model uses were both available months ago, and these desktops haven't made the jump to a pixel-quadrupled "Retina" display. No one knows for certain whether the device's delays were due to rumored manufacturing issues or merely the decreasing importance of desktop computers to Apple's bottom line, but at least the refreshed computers are finally here.
The 2012 iMac's most visible innovation is, of course, its physical design—this is the first substantial change to the iMac's body since the aluminum unibody iMacs were introduced in late 2009. The edges of the computer are just 5 mm wide, a significant reduction from the desktops the company has been selling for the last few years. The end result is a computer that is substantially lighter and thinner than it was before.
Happily, the newest iMacs still retain most of what made past models appealing—the graphics processors won't set any speed records, but they compare favorably to those in competing all-in-ones. Fast, desktop-class quad-core Ivy Bridge processors from Intel power every iMac within the pricing spectrum. The screens, while not of the Retina variety just yet, are excellent IPS panels with great color and viewing angles. There are several improvements subtly enhancing their quality over previous models. And as with other all-in-ones, cable clutter is kept to a minimum.
Despite that progress, there are a number of regressions—particularly in the $1,299 21.5-inch model we're looking at in this review. These new iMacs really are attractive machines, but what features are sacrificed in pursuit of thinness, and can you live without them?
Body and build quality
The new iMac is going to take up about the same amount of space on your desk as the old model—the thinner body of the machine doesn't subtract much from its "stand depth." That's still 6.9 inches (down from 7.42 inches on the old model). What's much more noticeable is the machine's weight: at 12.5 pounds, it's exactly eight pounds lighter than its predecessor. You can immediately feel it when you lift the computer and move it around.
Though its body is much thinner and lighter, the new iMac has a lot in common with the preceding aluminum unibody design (which was itself not drastically different from the first aluminum-and-glass iMac introduced back in 2007). The front of the system is mostly taken up by the 1920x1080 display, its surrounding black bezel, and the sheet of glass that covers both of them. The "chin" below the screen and the back of the computer are one solid piece of aluminum mounted on a separate stand. As with all of Apple's aluminum unibody hardware, the fit and finish is excellent. There's nothing about the new iMac that looks or feels cheap.
The monitor stand is very slightly smaller than previous models due to the computer's decreased weight. It will continue to be a sticking point for some—where the competition can often swivel, pivot, and go up and down, the iMac's stand still only allows for tilting the screen up and down. The high-quality IPS display panels that Apple uses ensures viewing angles are never a problem. But if you need to raise (or lower) your iMac significantly to make yourself more comfortable at your desk, you'll have to figure something else out.
While the new iMac is indeed very thin around the edges, Apple's product photos don't convey that the new iMac still packs much back. All that computer has to fit somewhere, and the iMac tucks most of it away in the juicy bubble on the back of the machine. It's still much thinner than the old model, make no mistake, but while buying the iMac at the Apple store I heard more than one fan gushing about how the whole system was LCD-thin throughout. That isn't quite true.
The thing about the new iMac is that once it's on your desk, you don't often notice how thin it is. Viewed from the front, it's basically indistinguishable from the last few models (as you can see in some of our comparison shots). This isn't a bad thing, really, and it's still a very attractive computer. But it goes to show that you can really only do so much from a design perspective with an all-in-one that is, by necessity, mostly screen.

Y-12: Oak Ridge treasure — national resource/Union Carbide's first 20 years in nuclear energy (Y-12 milestones)
Note: Union Carbide Nuclear Division, which started out as Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Company, operated the Atomic EnergyCommission/Energy Research and Development Administration/Department of Energy sites in Oak Ridge, Paducah, Ky., and Portsmouth, Ohio, until 1984, some 40 years.
The articles in this series are taken from a publication produced by Union Carbide Nuclear Division in the early 1960s, which provides some insights into technological advances and substantial manufacturing accomplishments that were made in Oak Ridge just 20 years after the Manhattan Project came to East Tennessee. Tim Gawne of Oak Ridge National Laboratory provided the publication to me when he found a copy in the ORNL Library archives.
The Union Carbide produced report is not as comprehensive as is the Y-12 chronology, An Overview of the History of Y-12, 1942-1992, created by Bill Wilcox, and available through www.secretcitystore.com. Bill provides a great many more details of these years than what is summarized and included in this 1962 report.
This section of the Union Carbide report covers the milestones of the Y-12 Plant (now Y-12 National Security Complex) accomplished during the first 20 years of Union Carbide's role in nuclear energy:
Y-12 Plant Milestones
1941-1942 — Scientists at University of California Radiation Laboratory, Berkeley, began development of a magnetic separator, which would function on the principle of the mass spectrograph, and would separate U-235 from natural uranium in appreciable quantities.
1943-1946 — Ground was broken for the first building in the Y-12 area on Feb. 1, 1943. Chemical operations for magnetic separator charge preparation began October 1943, and the first magnetic separator was started up in November 1943.
The first production building went into operation Jan. 27, 1944, and conversion of highly-enriched uranium-235 to UF4 began in November. Ultimately, Y-12 employed 22,000 operating personnel and was the first plant to produce large quantities of enriched U-236. Uranium recovery began in January 1945. On Sept. 22, 1945, all electromagnetic separators used to produce low-level enriched U-235 were shut down, since the K-25 Gaseous Diffusion Plant was supplying a sufficient amount of partially-enriched feed for the product-level electromagnetic separators.
1946 — All magnetic separators were discontinued Dec. 23 as production units.
1947 — Carbide replaced Tennessee Eastman Corp. as operating contractor of Y-12 on May 4, 1947.
Enriched uranium-235 produced by the gaseous diffusion process was reduced to metal and fabricated at Y-12 in accordance with AEC requirements.
1948 — Machining of enriched uranium on a small scale was started early in the year.
1950 — Hafnium-free zirconium production was started in January for use in the naval reactor program. The casting and machining of uranium-aluminum allow and the first large-scale precision machining of beryllium began.
1953 — Additional uranium casting facilities and another uranium machining shop were installed and completed by fall. A hydraulic pressing facility was installed in October.
1954 — An expansion of the enhanced uranium salvage facility was completed early in the year. Installation of equipment for a new method of UF6 reduction was completed during the second quarter.
1955 — Installation of additional uranium casting facilities was completed early in the year.
1956 — An accelerated program of providing technical information and assistance to industry interested in uranium salvage and recovery began.
1957 — Installation of a Primary Rolling Mill and further pressing facilities for fabricating uranium were completed during the third quarter.
1958 — Installation of a heavy machine shop for uranium fabrication was completed in the first quarter. A second rolling mill for uranium processing was installed late in the year.
1959 — Development and special fabrication service in pressing and machining of special materials was provided for the benefit of the missile program. Commission announced public sale of highly-enriched lithium-7.
1960-1962 — Specialized development and preproduction fuel element fabrication for the nuclear-powered rocket (Rover) program was started in August 1960. AEC authorized Y-12 to provide specialized fabrication service for a missile nose cone in February 1962. During this period, there was continued operation of a plant developed at Y-12 for large-scale separation of lithium isotopes.
Substantial preparation was made during this last part of this period to equip Y-12 for its role in the winning of the Cold War. Machine tools were first computerized. Multiple redundancy was created as a strategy to meet ever increasing production demands and single points of failure were eliminated to the extent possible by purchasing more than one of anything that was required to make production.
The coming years would see even more of this strategy implemented. Ultimately, the 1980s would culminate in the winning of the Cold War by the United States when the Soviet Union was unable to keep pace with the number of nuclear weapons being manufactured in the United States, all of which had some components made at Y-12.
Next we will look at a summary and conclusion of the Union Carbide Nuclear Division Report.

Reports on the 30 players listed above with a few extra prospects who didn't make the list for good measure, after the jump. Stat lines are as of mid-May 2010 and are park/schedule adjusted. They include BA/OBP/SLG, BB/K, and SB/Attempts…
Potential Star
Cal State Fullerton JR SS Christian Colon (.353/.451/.620 – 27/9 – 11/17)
As hard as I've been on Colon in the past, there really is no denying his potential as a league average or better big league middle infielder. There are still too many 50s and 55s on his scouting report (speed, arm, range, power) to keep me from rushing out and spending a pick in the top half of the first round on him, but a quick scan of big league rosters gives some real perspective about how valuable a steady fielding shortstop with power to the gaps and excellent plate discipline can be. I liken Colon's big league upside to Stephen Drew with more patience and less home run power. As Erik Manning's recent work hammers home, a first round prospect capable of putting up 3.0 WAR in a season is a rare and beautiful thing.
Potential Starters
Kansas State JR SS Carter Jurica (.360/.448/.593 – 28/21 – 18/23)
Long Beach State JR SS Devin Lohman (.456/.518/.612 – 18/24 – 7/16)
Duke JR SS Jake Lemmerman (.335/.419/.588 – 25/26 – 8/11)
Virginia Tech JR SS Tim Smalling (.389/.436/.636 – 11/29 – 5/7)
Jurica has always had the right tools to succeed (plus speed, enough pop to keep good pitching honest, impressive athleticism), so it's no shock to see him finally put it all together in 2010. I like him more than most, but still believe he's a player who will need a healthy number of at bats in the low minors before figuring things out professionally. Lohman has a similar scouting profile, but less ultimate upside; good, but not great speed and lesser long-term power projection put him below Jurica for me. He's still a candidate to start professionally if he lands in the right situation. The strong recent history of Long Beach shortstops certainly won't hurt come draft day. Good size (6-3, 207) and a strong arm make Smalling look like a player capable of playing third professionally, but his skill set is still far better suited for shortstop. Good footwork and soft hands should keep him up the middle going forward, but that aforementioned potential for defensive versatility should help him in his cause for playing time at the next level. It may be a little strange to see a player like Smalling, a guy with a well earned reputation as being more than a little hacktastic listed as a potential big league starter, but his combined hit/power tools rival those of almost any draft-eligible middle infielder in the class. Lemmerman is a speedy, smart base runner with enough untapped potential with the bat to legitimately claim an everyday role professionally someday. Lemmerman is already a plus defender with quick hands, above-average range, and an uncanny knack for turning the double play. The renewed interest in defense should help Lemmerman as much as just about any player in this year's college class.
Upside Plays
Alabama JR SS Josh Rutledge (.402/.446/.594 – 12/29 – 12/14)
Rice JR SS Rick Hague (.332/395/.561 – 21/42 – 6/7)
Rutledge and Hague both have the talent to play big league baseball, but recent chinks in their scouting armor have me a bit bearish on their draft stock. Each player has the defensive tools to stick at short though neither guy is a lock to stay there professionally. Really, and I say this from a complete outsider's viewpoint, I think it'll come down to a lot of those unknown intangibles with both prospects. The raw tools are nice – Hague has struggled defensively, but I still think he's got the hands and feet for short; Rutledge has a pretty swing that generates surprising power when he's going good at the plate – but each player has had their fair share of ups and downs on the diamond. Without a true plus tool between the pair, certain mystical intangible X-factors (willingness to put extra time in, ability to cope with failure, receptiveness to coaching) could, and I stress could, be what turns either Rutledge or Hague from an inconsistent collegiate player to a legitimate big league contributor.
First Infielder Off the Bench
James Madison JR SS David Herbek (.327/.427/.551 – 17/26 – 10/12)
Virginia SR SS Tyler Cannon (.370/.450/.549 – 27/26 – 10/14)
Fresno State JR SS Danny Muno (.338/.456/.472 – 39/29 – 9/12)
Arizona State SO SS Drew Maggi (.366/.469/.454 – 34/32 – 32/39)
I'd take any of these guys on my big league bench because a) they all can play multiple defensive spots, b) they all bring at least one impressive tool or skill to the table offensively, and c) they all have shown a willingness to take close pitches to get themselves into more advantageous hitter's counts. As an above-average shortstop and a potential plus defender anywhere else in the infield, Herbek is a certifiable draft sleeper. He currently has gap power to all fields, but his beautifully level line drive stroke (reminiscent of Bill Mueller's righthanded swing) has me thinking there is double digit home run potential if he can add some strength in the coming years. I've compared Cannon to former big league utility infielder Eric Bruntlett (who hit .342/.463/.485 with more walks than strikeouts for Stanford in his third and final year as a college player) in the past, a resemblance many first think of as an insult, but one I consider to be a compliment. Cannon is a proven versatile defender at the college level who, as previously mentioned, doesn't really have any glaring deficiencies in his tool set, minus a lack of long ball power. His approach is professional quality and his ability to play anywhere, catcher included, should make him an attractive mid-round senior sign. Muno and Maggi both lack any kind of meaningful power, yet get by as prospects on the strength of their clever base running, instinctive feel for the game, and a disciplined approach in every at bat. Maggi's the more interesting prospect based on his plus speed and better defense, but it's close.
Wild Cards
East Carolina JR SS Dustin Harrington
Francis Marion SR SS Barrett Kleinknecht (.366/.414/.668 – 18/14 – 10/12)
I don't know what to make of either one of these prospects, other than the fact I like both. Harrington has really good defensive instincts at short and enough pop to have some thinking he's a credible starting option down the line. I think he'd be stretched as a starter, but could very well hit enough to go from a solid organization player to a decent in-house backup infield call-up option. Questions will have to be answered about his dismissal from the East Carolina squad, however. Kleinknecht has an intriguing mix of power, arm strength, and defensive upside. The biggest question he'll have to answer will be about his collegiate level of competition. It's really hard to say if/when these guys will be drafted, but both strike me as possible "Oh yeah, we drafted him five years ago, forgot all about him, and, oh my gosh, now he's in AAA just one injury away from getting called up to ride the pine for a few weeks" kind of prospects.
Will They Sign?
Central Arizona FR SS Sam Lind
Virginia Military Institute JR SS Sam Roberts (.335/.451/.566 – 38/31 – 9/15)
Lind has a strong glove and a stronger arm who put up really impressive numbers as a junior college freshman. Pro teams have reportedly been hot on his trail this spring as they attempt to gauge his signability for the upcoming draft. The former Missouri Tiger seems a better than 50/50 shot to hear his name called in a few weeks. Roberts is a do-it-all utility player for VMI that leads off, plays short, and takes the hill every weekend as a starting pitcher. As a college player, there's little he doesn't do well and he's been producing at a big time clip since first stepping on campus. The question of how it'll translate to professional ball remains to be seen, but I've heard that some scouts are extremely cool on Roberts signing a pro contract if drafted. We'll see.
Leadoff Hitter Skillset
Old Dominion SR SS Jake McAloose (.308/.446/.534 – 30/35 – 5/6)
San Francisco SR Derek Poppert (.325/.391/.482 – 19/16 – 11/16)
Kennesaw State SR SS Tyler Stubblefield (.281/.382/.479 – 27/24 – 19/19)
Minnesota State Mankato SR SS Kosuke Hattori (.330/.414/.422 – 28/25 – 35/40)
These prospects all have at least some potential as table setting minor leaguers. McAloose is the best of the bunch due to his big league average power potential. Poppert, Stubblefield, and Hattori all are limited by their lack of strength, but all three have the speed to perhaps warrant a late round flier. The Japanese born Minnesota State Mankato star has drawn rave reviews for his almost supernatural ability to drop bunts anywhere he wants.
Previously Mentioned
Texas Tech SR SS Joey Kenworthy (.314/.443/.457 – 35/14 – 7/12)
Florida State SR SS Stephen Cardullo (.271/.412/.415 – 41/34 – 17/17)
Kansas JR SS Brandon Macias (.279/.328/.413 – 10/24 – 1/2)
Washington State JR SS Shea Vucinich (.260/.371/.418 – 18/24 – 4/6)
UCLA JR SS Niko Gallego (.268/.394/.405 – 21/26 – 17/18)
Opposing fans do a double take when the 5-5, 160 pound Kenworthy steps up to the plate for the first time, but his solid defense and not completely worthless bat (how's that for a ringing endorsement?) typically give him the last laugh. I wonder if Kenworthy's draft stock would have been higher if he was a senior coming out of school at the height of post-World Series Angels victory induced David Eckstein craze of a few years ago. His great plate discipline (in no small part due to his teeny tiny strike zone) is exciting, but the lack of physical strength and projection make him a long shot at best.
Cardullo has managed to maintain some of the gains (largely those made in his mature, discipline approach at the plate) while still showing just barely enough of the gap power to keep scouts believing he has enough pop to spend a late-round pick on him. I liken him to a less acclaimed version of former teammate Tony Delmonico, 2008 6th round pick of the Dodgers. Delmonico has seen time behind the plate and on the right side of the infield in the minors so far, a path that could be the best hope for Cardullo (who already has some college experience at both first and second) to follow if he wants to someday crack a big league roster. Without sounding too much like a broken record, defensive value through versatility will be a large part of what gets any of the above players to the big leagues. Steady defense at all five infield defensive spots + professional approach taken to every at bat + gap power + average speed = potential big league utility player. It's never really that simple, but it's the best hope a player this far down the list has of ever making it to the show.
Macias has received universal praise for his outstanding work ethic and love of the game, and his big first year playing for South Mountain (in a wood bat league, no less) had scouts thinking they were watching a future everyday shortstop in the making. A disappointing sophomore season chock full of struggles due in large part to a nagging hamstring injury took him off the radar to some degree, but, despite the down year, Macias showed off enough evidence that he's a player with all five tools (in addition to the aforementioned defensive gifts, Macias has above-average speed and good gap power) present in his game. A lackluster junior campaign has scouts back down on Macias, so much so that it is believed it is in his best interest to return to Lawrence for a senior season. If it is his intent to play pro ball right away, perhaps Kansas' surprisingly rich recent history of shortstops drafted into the professional ranks will work in his favor. Many talent evaluators look for programs that have coaching staffs with reputations coaching up certain positions or player types; in this way, similar to Devin Lohman and Long Beach State, Kansas' strong track record developing up the middle types could be Macias' gain this June.
Reports on Vucinich's defense vary depending on the day, but most seem to agree his upside with the glove is significant. I've even heard some evaluators touting him as a potential plus defender up the middle. Vucinich has shown solid power progression while with the Cougars. That's the good news. The less good news is centered around Vucinich's aggressive approach at the plate. His free swinging ways help explain some of power output (swing hard at anything around the plate and sometimes the ball goes very far), but it's also gotten him in trouble in the past. Something about his skill set has me really curious about locking down some worthwhile comps. Best two I came up with are former Padres starting SS/2B Damian Jackson (44th rounder) and current Red Sox minor leaguer Tug Hulett (14th rounder). Vucinich would be very lucky to split the difference between the two, both in eventual draft landing spot and pro career accomplishments. He may be best served returning to school for a senior season.
Gallego didn't do much to impress in his first two years with the Bruins, but experience in two quality wood bat summer leagues (Northwoods League and Cape Cod League) and pro baseball bloodlines (father Mike had almost 3,000 big league at bats) make him a good bet to hear his name called on draft day. His decent junior year helps a little, but Gallego's most realistic outcome remains as an organizational player.
Good Athletes with Enough Skill to Maybe Survive
Michigan State JR SS Jonathan Roof (.320/.380/.469 – 17/24 – 13/18)
Akron SR SS Kevin Haas (.329/.399/.444 – 21/33 – 4/4)
Minnesota SO SS AJ Pettersen (.311/.388/.413 – 20/32 – 3/7)
San Diego JR SS Zach Walters (.268/.330/.412 – 10/16 – 0/0)
Creighton JR SS Elliot Soto (.287/.371/.437 – 23/22 – 7/8)
North Carolina SR SS Ryan Graepel (.329/.462/.506 – 40/21 – 2/3)
UT-San Antonio JR SS Ryan Hutson (.331/.422/.600 – 20/41 – 3/4)
Roof is a very good athlete capable of playing multiple infield spots. I've heard a few teams may be thinking about trying him behind the plate professionally, but haven't been able to confirm it. Haas has a strong bat and a good glove. Pettersen has disappointed in the secondary areas this spring, but his hit tool remains at least average for the position so it's possible he'll get popped in the teens all the same. Walters is another good athlete with a strong arm, but players with little speed and power tend to get lost along the way. Soto has the tools to be a plus defender at short. Graepel and Hutson are each in the midst of wonderful college seasons, but offer little projection beyond what they currently are.
Deep Sleepers with Broken Alarm Clocks
UNLV JR Richie Jimenez (.222/.283/.267 – 12/19 – 2/2)
Texas A&M JR SS Kenny Jackson (.282/.393/.311 – 19/17 – 3/6)
The far less heralded, less accomplished version of disappointing college juniors really let me down this year. Rick Hague and Josh Rutledge may get top billing, but these two went from legit mid-round steals to just hoping to be drafted by Wednesday night prospects. Jimenez, when he's right, is a solid three-tool player (arm, defense, bat) who has at least hinted at some power projection in the past. Jackson was my top rated Big XII shortstop heading into the year. The former Alvin College shortstop reminded me of current Cardinals starter Brendan Ryan. Both players are smooth defenders, possess strong arms, bigger than usual shortstop frames, and enough offensive skills and defensive consistency to provide value as a starter. Instead, his defense never got on track, his offense sputtered, and a return to College Station may be his only chance of ever reaching the lofty double digit power numbers I once thought he had in him.
They're With Me, Leather
Florida Atlantic JR SS Nick DelGuidice (.304/.359/.495 – 19/25 – 3/3)
Florida International SR SS Junior Arrojo (.276/.409/.346 – 21/30 – 18/20)
UNC Wilmington SR SS Mike Rooney (.292/.393/.347 – 29/21 – 11/12)
Wagner JR SS Brian Martutartus (.309/.371/.463 – 11/30 – 13/16)
South Carolina SR SS Bobby Haney (.230/.298/.311 – 12/20 – 1/1)
Stanford JR SS Jake Schlander (.254/.367/.362 – 23/17 – 1/0)
Plus defenders, all. Unfortunately, only DelGuidice has shown enough consistency with the bat to profile as anything more than organizational filler at this point. I've been relatively high on Arrojo (plus base stealer), Rooney (good plate discipline), and Schlander (raw skills to at least be competent as a hitter), but can't endorse any listed player beyond DelGuidice as top half of the draft possibilities.
Richmond SR SS Victor Croglio (.210/.324/.294 – 11/27 – 3/4)
Arizona JR SS Bryce Ortega (.245/.385/.255 – 17/13 – 11/12)
Lewis-Clark State SR SS Todd Muecklisch (.333/.431/690 – 4/8 – 2/3)
Nova Southeastern JR SS Luis Penate
Muecklisch and Penata flashed some promise this year. Both players qualify as super duper deep sleepers heading into the draft, especially Muecklisch, a guy capable of playing above-average defense with superb bat control. Croglio and Ortega both crashed and burned in 2010. Ortega should return to school in an attempt to resuscitate his barely breathing draft stock. Sadly, Croglio, a senior, doesn't have that option.

Boston bomb survivors are guests at Obama speech
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing and an openly gay NBA player are among the guests who will sit with first lady Michelle Obama Tuesday when President Barack Obama delivers the annual State of the Union address.
The first lady's guests are often chosen because they symbolize an issue or policy the president is promoting. The White House announced six guests on Monday, with other names to be released ahead of Obama's address.
The guests announced so far are:
— Carlos Arredondo and Jeff Bauman, Boston: A photograph of Arredondo, 53, and Bauman, 27, has become one of the iconic images from the April 2013 bombing. The photo captured Arredondo rushing a badly injured Bauman away from the scene of the attack. Bauman, who lost both legs in the attack, played a crucial role in identifying the bombers while he was in the hospital recovering. The two men have become close friends, the White House said.
— Gary Bird, Moore, Okla.: Bird is the fire chief in Moore, Okla., which was hit by a massive tornado in May 2013. The tornado killed 25 people and destroyed more than 1,000 homes and businesses. The White House said Bird and his team worked through the path of the storm to rescue survivors.
— Jason Collins, Los Angeles: In April, 35-year-old Collins became the first active male athlete on a major American sports team to come out as openly gay. Collins played 12 years in the NBA, going to the playoffs nine times and making the league finals twice. The president has said Collins' announcement marked a point of progress for the gay community.
— Joey Hudy, Anthem, Ariz.: Hudy was a participant in a 2012 science fair at the White House, where he helped the president use his invention, the "extreme marshmallow cannon." Now 16, Hudy is interning at Intel and is a proponent of science, technology, engineering and math education.
— Kathy Hollowell-Makle, Washington: Hollowell-Makle was the 2013 teacher of the year in the District of Columbia public school system. A former Teach for America corps member, Hollowell-Makle teaches at Abram Simon Elementary, where 90 percent of her students demonstrated early literacy at proficient or advanced levels.
