Cole Hamels goes seven innings in latest rehab start, on track to join Phillies next week
Apr 17, 2014, 11:02 PM EDT
Cole Hamels was forced to begin the season on the 15-day disabled list after he was slowed this spring with left biceps tendinitis, but all signs point to him being activated next week.
According to Ryan Lawrence of the Philadelphia Daily News, Hamels tossed seven innings of one-run ball tonight with High-A Clearwater in what was likely his final minor league rehab start. The southpaw gave up three hits and one walk while the lone run scored on a solo homer. He threw a total of 81 pitches and struck out two batters.
Through three rehab starts, Hamels has a 2.12 ERA and 12/1 K/BB ratio in 17 innings. Most importantly, he hasn't had any physical issues. If all goes according to plan, he could join the Phillies' rotation as soon as next Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
I want to thank The Valley Reporter for publishing the most wonderful articles written by Huguette Abbott Viens titled "About Town." As a young boy I was fortunate to have grown up on a near subsistence-level farm in Maryland. While the soils down there may have been somewhat different, the precious kind of experiences and the wholesome lifestyle Ms. Viens writes about were not.
Today, I lament how much of the country has not only become urbanized and industrialized but also deeply technologically dependent. With the loss of so many small farms (where the cows had real names), I fear the many profound lessons to be learned from working the land will become unknown and forgotten.
I was also fortunate to have a broad academic education but in retrospect the profound teachings of life and death, compassion, equanimity (I used to play with some very poor children), self- reliance, self-sufficiency, hard work and wholesome sustainability of the good earth were but a few of the many lessons learned on the farm. Sixty years later, when I look around at our computer- and gadget-dependent world, I often wonder about and fear the disconnect from Mother Nature we are perpetuating. Today, some folks refer to this phenomenon as the mind-body split.
When we drive by the beautiful meadows and pastures in The Valley try to connect to the hard work entailed in clearing those fields of boulders, stumps and rocks with only axes, hand saws, horses or oxen. Try to connect to the enormous work of local farmers keeping the brush and weed out that could quickly become a small forest in a blink of the eye. Try to connect, the next time you drive by a beautiful field, to all the men, women and children who toiled endlessly to bring these spectacular landscapes to us. Then reflect upon the many lessons lost.
Thank you again, Ms. Viens, for awakening all of us to a nearly lost reality.
George Gardner lives in Warren.

Thankee Shoe, that was great! :love:
Interesting to read that King admitted he was willing to write 'Chrome' as a cap to the Travis McGee series. Makes me wonder if the rumors circulating around 'The Black Book of Travis McGee' (also known as 'A Black Border for McGee'), an unpublished MacDonald manuscript wherein the story is told from Meyer's point of view, were just that: rumors.
Sad to see this may be so.
I'm still hoping one day everyone who was a fan could return once again to Bahia Mar.... *sighs*.... but then I'm also hoping Storm of the Century's Michael Anderson will put in an appearance too :wink2:
Thank you for sharing- great article. Love it when Steve gives us insights into the working of his mind and writing the book.
Loved reading that! Thank you!!
If I haven't mentioned this, ever, I'd like to say it here and now:
Stephen King, I love you! You are the only man I'd leave my husband for (besides John Denver, but he's dead).
Oops, back on the watch list...
Thanks GNTLGNT for my laptop's new background!
Awesome article. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Hi there,
I haven't played tennis in a long time and I'm starting enjoying this great sport again. I would say I'm an advanced beginner-lower intermediate level.
I would love to find someone to hit the ball on a regular basis. I'm in Marina del Rey but could meet up on the Westside. My schedule is rather flexible during the day, at nights and on weekends.
Drop me a line if you're interested...

Only thing that bothers me about that is, if you tap that, it's sure to open the twitter app BUT, how would you be accessing previous notifications? Is it the same "use it or lose it" notification system just less intrusive? I'm positive Apple wouldn't copy the drag down curtain from android so...I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Is this a screen shot of an iPhone running iOS 5?
TechCrunch has got its hands on a picture that may well be from an iPhone running iOS 5. The picture shows a notification bar at the top of the screen, under the time. The notification bar shows two new twitter mentions. Now this could very well be a fake; based on previous information that Twitter may be baked into iOS 5. We don't know and neither does TechCrunch at this stage.
They do note that the iPhone shown could be European; as the weather icon shows 23 degrees and sunny rather than the US 73 degrees. The icons are in the correct out of the box order, however, the camera icon has changed to black from silver.
What do you think? Is this real, fake or really fake? Let us know in the comments!

Is this a screen shot of an iPhone running iOS 5?
This Twitter feature would be very handy and fits with the rumors of deeper Twitter integration. We will know soon!
I think he's referring to the bar being silvery as opposed to green, what he doesn't realize is that thought its green with facetime and phone calls, its blue with tethering and red with skype other voip calls. So the fact that its grey doesn't make the pic fake, it just means that notifications are grey.
Welcome to The IPHONE Blog, troll.
We are VERY aware that your ANDROID phone has had it for a long time. That's why we're talking about this. It is something we have asked for for a long time.
By the way - which Android anti-virus do you use? Maybe someday we'll need one on the iPhone... Not.
Helvetica on the clock and icons and Myriad on the notification text? No, I don't think so. Fake, really fake, I say.
iPhone and iPad allow battery percentage to be shown
I thought that about iOS4. Come to find out - it's been there for awhile. Goto Settings, General, Usage.
no TIPB, that is not a screenshot, that is a photograph! :D
No it's not the same everywhere. In Fahrenheit locations it's shown as being 73 degrees: http://www.smspal.com/iPhonePhoto.jpg
We'll all know in about 4 hours, won't we?
Oh, but they HAVE to. And, it will be MUCH more magical than theirs. AND, probably not work as good, or look as good, but no one will be allowed to complain about, lest they be jumped on by the fanboys on here. This will be ANOTHER trickle out upgrade, like always. There will be things in the beta that everyone will love that will be gone by the gold, and we will be waiting on IOS 47 to get. Don't beleive me? Go back in this blog. It has been around since before #1, and read all the posts about "wish lists" for each new OS. You won't be able to tell them from today's posts. And after today, it will all start all over again. Maybe next time??........
SMH.I've been begging for them to use the upper bar for notifications !
Not liking that Camera icon.

I watched Body of Lies last night, big Russell Crowe and Leo fan but man some scenes are extremely brutal to watch.
Srbo i mainly liked Australia because i got the chance to drool over Hugh Jackman for 150mins, pervy yes but hey a girl can dream right? I really didn't like The Ruins but definitely a case of each to their own.:biggrin2:
Religulous. It wasn't as funny as I expected (Bill Maher is a comedian, after all). But it certainly was thought-provoking.
I want to see Knowing with Cage, hoping to go this weekend ,looks good.
The best scene in Twilight - the despatching of the sniffing vampire - took place off screen. The most frightening thing was the thought of kooking up with that miserable drippy girl for ever. Very poor on all counts.
Most recent film, something called Franklyn, last night. Recommended tactic - avoid it. Boring pretentious drivel, incomprehensible until two thirds of the way through.
The most recent film I saw is the Swedish vampire movie Let the Right One In and it's the best movie I've seen all year.
"Twilight" ............. HATED IT!(circa 1990's In Living Colour)
I love movies so if I were to list movies I've watched recently it'd be long now I did do Movies I Hated and Hamlet 2 was one of the last movies I watched the other night I saw The House Bunny it was ok and enjoyable I'll keep everyone posted on films nice topic :smile2:

Luke Rockhold Turned Down His Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, Wants to
During the pre-fight press conference yesterday Luke Rockhold once again made it a point to bring up Vitor Belforts TRT use and stated that he felt Belfort, who is currently ranked #2 in the UFC MW division, has to use it because he lacks something and Rockhold feels that he can capitalize on that lack of something in Belforts game. He also made it a point to bring up the grappling resume that he holds compared to the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt in Belfort. Here is what Rockhold had to say about his own grappling credentials:
World championships, even if they are not at the black-belt level, speak volumes when it comes to grappling inside the cage. Rockhold is pretty much claiming that he grapples at the black-belt level and he will likely need those skills to shine through if he finds himself on the mat with Belfort tomorrow night.Ive been in jiu-jitsu and grappling my whole life. Im very aware of my body and how I move, and Ive competed on a world level in jiu-jitsu and Ive won. I may only be a brown belt, but I have two world championships at blue belt, one at purple belt and I actually turned down my black belt because I wanted to compete at brown belt and win a world championship and try to earn it a different way. Black belts are black belts, Im very capable of beating anybody. I bring legitsu to the table.

Panthers cruise to homecoming win
The score was Granville Central 48, Kestrel Heights 0.
Then they started the second quarter.
It was announced right before the start of the second quarter that the game clock malfunctioned and that the officials would keep the time on the field.
The scoreboard mysteriously kept working, though, and Granville Central kept adding points to it until the final result was 80-0 on Friday.
The clock really didn't break down. The second, third and fourth quarters were truncated to keep the game moving, so the final score likely could have been even more lopsided.
Guys still need to play full speed in games like that, Granville Central coach John Hammett said.
"You just play," Hammett said. "You want to play every play like your hair's on fire. We just substituted. We played as hard as we could play the first quarter. We did. A lot of it was defensive scores, special teams scores. There's nothing much you can do about that."
Kestrel Heights coach David Lloyd had issues with the point differential.
"It was a problem for me," Lloyd said. "I mean, you're up (48) to nothing in the first quarter, you're still throwing the football, your starters play the whole first half and I understand that. You want to play your starters; it's homecoming. I can handle that.
"But then you come out in the second half and throw for another touchdown and, personally, I think it's garbage."
This is the sixth season of football for both schools, and neither have had great success. Lloyd has said that Kestrel Heights, a Durham charter school, has one varsity win in the program's history, albeit against a junior varsity team.
Before reclassification put Granville Central on the 1-A level, the Panthers took their lumps in 2-A ball.
"This is the eighth win in school history," Hammett said. "We had to play as a 2-A school with 1-A numbers ever since the school opened until this year, so we've been on the other side, and we've been trying to fight and build.
"A game like this is not enjoyable for either side."
Kestrel Heights held its own against Granville Central's reserves, forcing a fumble. But Lloyd didn't have time for glass-half-full scenarios like that.
"Football's football. They put 11 on the field. We put 11 on the field," Lloyd said, standing up for his Hawks. "These guys show up every week, and I know it's tough on them to come out and take losses like this.
"But they keep showing up. They keep showing up. They keep working hard. They support each other. They have each other's back, and I wouldn't trade them for anybody else."

Miami Law mourns the passing of Raymond Michael Ranellucci, JD '93, who was killed in a car accident on Monday, June 13, 2011.
From Georgia to Germany, the moot court teams of the University of Miami School of Law experienced an unprecedented winning streak in competitions all over the world this past year.
Many students dream of using their time in college in a way that helps them reach their fullest potential. One such student, Gracia Cuzzi, has approached each semester with vigor and a deep desire to learn and is currently working as a HOPE Fellow for the Florida Immigration Advocacy Center (FIAC).
The University of Miami's Medical-Legal Clinic, a joint venture between Miami Law's Health and Elder Law Clinic, the Miller School of Medicine, and the Miami VA Hospital was selected by the American Academy on Communication in Healthcare to present a case study at its 2011 International Conference on Communication in Healthcare (ICCH) in Chicago in October. At the conference they will share with medical professionals from all over the world their innovative case study, which amicably bridged legal and medical gaps.
Stress and law – it's a duality of good and evil that's been around since the days when philosophers gathered to challenge one another using the Socratic Method. As a way to address this age-old conflict, Miami Law began implementing programs that combine mindfulness techniques into the law school track in order to improve student lifestyle and performance. As the Bar nears, many recent graduates may want to brush up on techniques taught by Lecturer in Law Scott Rogers, Director of Miami Law's Mindfulness in Law Program.
Yesterday, Miami Law proved yet again to be a force in the political arena when Governor Rick Scott announced the appointment of Christine Hernandez, JD '05, to the Eleventh Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission. Hernandez began serving on July 18, 2011, and her term will end on July 1, 2015.
Brenda M. Brown, Miami Law's Director of Financial Aid, recently received a special recognition award from the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) for her work with the Graduate and Professional Issues Committee.
Miami Law's Tenants' Rights Clinic Director Jeffrey Hearne was recently named among Florida's Legal Elite. This high honor is given to only the top 2 percent of government and non-profit attorneys in the state.
As the legal industry becomes more competitive, law students are being asked to pursue unconventional legal opportunities and internships in order to acquire the practical experiences needed to stay ahead in a global market.
Marlene Quintana, JD '96, was elected to serve as Chair of the 11th Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC) for a one-year term. In this role, she will lead the nine members of the JNC, who are responsible for recommending potential judges for appointment to the 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida, the largest in the state and fourth largest trial court in the nation.
Miami Law is steadily gaining recognition as an active force in international arbitration as two of its recent graduates, Patrick Miller, JD '10 and Anna Tumpovskiy, LL.M. '10, have published articles in this field in The International Law Quarterly, a publication of the Florida Bar International Law Section. This is a welcome development for the law school, which is situated within the epicenter of a growing international arbitration market.
Harvey C. Sepler, JD '84, was presented with the James C. Adkins Award for outstanding service to appellate law in Florida. This is the most prestigious award presented by The Florida Bar's Appellate Practice Section and one of the premier awards given by the Bar. "
Miami Law's Children & Youth Law Clinic (CYLC) recently received a favorable decision from an Administrative Law Judge in a lawsuit that the clinic filed against the State of Florida's Agency for Persons with Disabilities ("APD") nearly two years ago."
During his third year at Miami Law, Gayland "Tad" Hethcoat II was recognized as one of eleven finalists nominated for the Scribes Law-Review Award for his in-depth analysis "Free Hospital Care and Takings Clause: Franklin Memorial Hospital v. Harvey in a Chancing Health Care Landscape."

Though it was occasionally in doubt, the spawn.com staffers all returned in reasonably good condition from their annual trek to Comic-Con International in San Diego.
This year's event ran from July 17-20 with Preview Night on July 16 at the San Diego Convention Center. Spawn.com was set up in booth 1913, a prime spot near the middle-front of the massive, packed showcase area. This year, we offered a Spawn/Miracleman two-pack as a Con exclusive, limited to 5,000 pieces.
Over the years, San Diego has grown from a comic book convention to a mecca of all things pop culture. This year, it was even bigger. Entering the main floor, it's hard not to be stunned by the bells and whistles, the eye-candy and flashing lights, the scantily clad of both sexes and, well, the Stormtroopers and Klingons (of which there sadly seems to be fewer and fewer each year).
As usual, we displayed nearly two dozen two-up prototypes of current and upcoming action figures, notably T3, Spawn Series 24 and Twisted Land of Oz. Thousands of fans came through the booth over the course of the week and we took as much time as we could to answer questions and put faces to names. Ed Frank, our head guy from the New Jersey Design Group, and Jay Fotos, colorist for Sam and Twitch, were there to look over portfolios. We had a dinner with spawn.com message board members Friday night and took part in several panels (Plastically Incorrect, How to Sculpt a McFarlane Toy and a McFarlane companies overview), all of which were well-attended and fun.
We did hold back a small number of the Spawn/Miracleman two-pack exclusives, which we'll be selling through the online Store/Collector's Club in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for that and see you next year in San Diego.

Friday, August 30, 2013
Stratford quarterback Jacob Park proved two things in the Knights home opening 29-10 win over the Berkeley Stags: He has the golden arm to get a shot at playing SEC football, and he's still just a high school senior.
Park threw three interceptions to the Stags' Dee Harley – but also threw for three touchdowns to lead the Knights to their third straight win over Berkeley.
The Stags salvaged a horrendous first half by staging a comeback in the third quarter, breaking a 14-quarter scoreless streak against the Knights with a Joseph Dress 28-yard scoring strike to D.J. Witherspoon to close the gap to 16-7.
Vance Bailey made the score 16-10 with a 30-yard field goal late in the third quarter.
Park, who has committed to play football in 2014 at Georgia, shook off the three picks and put the game away with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Thad Thompson.
Jordan Johnson added a touchdown late in the fourth quarter on a 33-yard run to cap the scoring and seal the win.
"We had a positive third quarter after an awful first half," said Stags Coach Jeff Cruce. "We have something to build on from here for next week."
Life for Berkeley could not get any worse in the first half.
Following a three-and-out on their first possession the Stags threw an interception, had a blocked punt, a fumble, and a safety on a bad punt snap.
Park connected on a pair of TD passes in the first half to Johnson to go with the safety.
Berkeley (0-1) plays Summerville at home on Friday in their annual Hall of Fame game. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. Stratford travels to Sumter next week to take on the Gamecocks.

KYLE'S KORNER ... - Huntington Prep basketball star Andrew Wiggins finally made his announcement on where he will play his college basketball this coming season. In a private ceremony Tuesday afternoon in Huntington at St. Joe High School, he told the world he would attend Kansas.
He had narrowed his choices to Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina and Florida State. Many were surprised at his choice. There were those diehard UK fans that thought he would still go to Lexington and play for their beloved Wildcats.
There were those – like me – who thought he would go to Florida State. That is where his athletic parents attended school. His father played in the NBA and his mother was an Olympic sprinter. My third choice was North Carolina and then Kansas.
But, you never know what an 18-year old kid will decide or what has been going through his mind. He has been under a lot of pressure.
As of late, he has just wanted to be a teenager. He went to the prom with his girlfriend Mychal Johnson, who is also a basketball star from Huntington. She played at St. Joe and led them to a state title in Class A. She will be heading to Notre Dame to play college basketball in the class of 2014.
Wiggins, the Canadian born star, averaged 23.4 points and 11.2 rebounds per game this season for West Virginia's Huntington Prep.
Initially rated as a 2014 prospect, Wiggins shot to the top of recruiting charts when he decided last October to reclassify into his original high school class of 2013. The four major recruiting services have rated Wiggins as the No. 1 overall prospect in the country.
The speculation over the past few weeks has kept many coaches and sports talk radio announcers on pin and needles.
He had until Wednesday to sign with a Division I school.
West Virginia Mountaineer fans will get the chance to see Wiggins play since Kansas is in the Big 12. The 2013-14 schedule is not yet out, but WVU will play the Jayhawks twice, once on the road and a game in Morgantown.
Good luck to Wiggins, except when he plays the Mountaineers.
Regardless of where he ended up, it would be a big surprise if he plays more than one year in college. He is already projected as the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft in June of 2014.
Short Stuff:
With much less fanfare, Williams Otor Gabriel, who was also a member of the Huntington Prep basketball team, signed to play at New Hampshire. He helped guide the Express to a combined record of 83-8 during his career, becoming the player with the most wins in school history. Gabriel has played alongside multiple Division 1 players for the impressive team in Huntington, including Wiggins.
He was scheduled to play in the Consol Energy All-Star game played at Mingo Central, but once he signed with New Hampshire, he was not allowed to participate. He helped his prep team reach a No. 1 ranking during his senior campaign and was named a McDonalds All-American nominee for his efforts. Gabriel will graduate with high honors and has a 3.53 GPA. New Hampshire is a division 1 team in the American East conference finishing 9-22

Architect designs ways to reuse Downtown buildingsWritten by Brandi Barhite | Community Ombudsman | email@example.com
Scot Rossi sees potential and usability where most see vacancy and blight. The Toledo architect began his craft designing factories and hospitals, but could easily spend the rest of his career on what he calls "adaptive reuse."
There is certainly enough to do.
"I found out that there is almost 2 million square feet of unoccupied buildings Downtown. That is a big niche," said the partner at Rossi & Associates.
"I don't call myself a historic preservationist. Ninety percent of my clients are private businesspeople. They don't want to mess with federal grants and tax credits. We are into adaptive reuse and doing smart things to old buildings."
Rossi was the mastermind behind the Bartley Lofts, which involved converting a concrete warehouse into 50 condos ranging from 1,200 square feet to more than 2,500 square feet with two levels of indoor parking and a rooftop pool.
When he was designing Pizza Papalis, which had been home to Brenda's Body Shop, some preservationists complained. One of them even said, "Do we really want a pizza place in Downtown?"
Rossi fired back.
"How about I put the stripper pole back in? How would you like that?"
The usually personable Rossi became irritated because they were fighting development. If every building in Downtown had to be historically accurate, hardly anything would get saved, he said.
"There were a lot of people who tried to get in the way and block it."
But Rossi said the sometimes contentious business of finding new uses for old buildings is worth it. He would rather find a way to reuse a building than knock it down. He can't talk much about his current project without his client's permission; however, it involves finding a new use for a Downtown mail center.
"I see a lot of potential in Downtown," Rossi said. "One of the first buildings I did in Downtown was the Durty Bird. There was a young kid who had a love for that building and he had an inside scoop where the ballpark was going to be. Everyone told him to knock it down and make a parking lot."
The building should have been condemned, Rossi said. It had sat empty for years and had excessive water damage.
A couple of million dollars later, Durty Bird opened. It also opened Rossi's eyes to what could become of other empty buildings in Downtown.
"That was the worst-conditioned building I have ever seen and if I can bring that back to life, I see no problem with any building."
Laying a foundation
Rossi's dad, Robert, started the company under the name R. A. Rossi, Consulting Engineers in 1960.
The first location was at Dorr Street and Byrne Road. By the early '70s, the elder Rossi had moved the firm to its current location at 970 S. Byrne Road, in a building he bought and later added onto.
"I knew I wanted to be an architect when I was 8, 9 years old," Rossi said. "The only time I saw my father was when he dragged me in here. He worked seven days a week. I used to hang around here and he would put me on a drafting board and I would just sit and draw.
"One of his architects, I walked by his office and saw a beautiful rendering, and thought, 'Boy, that is what I want to do.'"
From the start, Rossi could differentiate between what his dad did as a structural engineer and what the architects did.
"The architects made the building function and aesthetic, and he made them stand up. He designed the beams and columns; we designed the floor plans," Rossi said.
But he doesn't consider himself an artist.
"It has never been what I think should be there. It is what the client wants, what plan commission allows, what the building permit allows," he said. "Every architect should know what the laws and codes are, especially with ADA. You don't just get to work with a blank sheet of paper."
Rossi graduated from UT in 1981 with an associate degree in architectural technology and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from The Ohio State University in 1984.
"My father gave every family member the same opportunity: Go to college, become an architect or engineer and then you can share in the ownership and partnership in the firm. My brother Brad and I accomplished that."
One former professor, Daryl Blanchard, remembers Rossi well.
"He was always a cheerful and happy person. He always seemed to be interested in buildings because his father is a structural engineer. He had grown up around building structures. He was always interested in how buildings were put together."
Rossi said Rossi & Associates is an unusual partnership because most architects don't work directly with engineers. They are typically at odds, he said; they think differently.
While Brad said he always wanted to stay in Toledo. Rossi wanted to get out of Toledo. He dreamed of Boston, New York City or Los Angeles. He told architect Bob Martin, founder of the Collaborative, "I don't want to work for the family."
"He was the one who talked me into staying in town, because you can become a big fish in a little pond here. It was easier to do what I wanted to do than if I ended up in New York or Boston like a lot of my friends," Rossi said.
Rough draft
After college, Rossi worked on Whirlpool factories and hospitals, among other local and out-of-state projects.
At that time, he did drawings by hand.
"We have done Dana, Ford and Chrysler. We started out as an industrial firm, but they just don't build factories here anymore," he said.
The firm employed 38 people at one time, compared to eight today. Computers changed the business drastically.
"One day our office manager set this monster of a computer on my desk and said, "There you go."
Older architects often don't work on computers or know computer-aided design, he said, but nearly everyone who works at Rossi & Associates is an expert in it.
"It was something kind of forced on us. You spend all that time learning something in school and then it is like, 'Do it this way.'"
The company struggled at first.
"That is one reason the firm dwindled. We had people who couldn't acclimate. Old-school guys said, 'I am going to retire, these darn computers.'"
Even today, Rossi does 75 percent of his drawings himself, but he doesn't sketch something on a piece of paper and hand it to someone.
"I still like to draw by hand and conceptualize by hand. I still like to make models."
Rossi got into churches as his career progressed, as did his brother who designed St. Joan of Arc and St. Andrew United Methodist.
One of Rossi's favorite jobs was St. James Church "The Armory," which seats 2,800 people.
"The space is acoustically perfect. They built it for a shell space and it sat for years and years and years," Rossi said. "Then they interviewed every architect in town. When they got to me I realized they were going through the phone book. I walked in and every architect had their renderings on the wall."
The bishop had a huge request: Everyone had to see its stained glass window.
Rossi's favorite part of working with churches is the committees of people who all have ideas about how it should be designed.
"It is like doing a house for 500 people," Rossi said. "If you just appease everyone, you are doing the client a disservice. You have to mix it up and not everyone is going to get their way."
Pastor William James said of The Armory his late father got the project started with Rossi, while he saw it to fruition.
"The goal was to make it more contemporary. Scot saw the vision that we wanted and helped us build a state-of-the-art facility. He knew where we were trying to go and he took that concept and built on it."
Blurred lines
Rossi gets his vision from the client. It is about what they want to do. It is about their problems with the building and how he can solve them.
Whenever possible, he likes to keep the bones of a Downtown building: the overhead door, the brick wall, the exposed structure and the overall industrial look of it.
But again it comes down to what the clients want. Many building owners want energy-efficient windows, while a historic preservationist would recommend taking them out, restoring them and putting them back in.
"Replacing the old windows is a no-brainer to me," Rossi said.
Often, the building has to be gutted.
"You are getting rid of the mechanical systems that are antiquated — steam boilers in basements and taking care of the areas riddled with asbestos."
One of the problems he often sees is horse hair in the plaster, which can cause anthrax. That is why Rossi always advises his Downtown clients to hire his "tester guy."
"If I work in a vacuum and work all by myself, I am not going to be successful. I represent the owner. I hire mechanical and electrical engineers. I help them find the right contractors and subcontractors."
When he designed Ann Albright's condo, she opted to keep some of the features of the former mill location.
When the grain was rolling over the wooden wheels, it created a beaded effect on the wood. Albright accented her condo with this wood.
"As much as possible, we try to keep something in the building and do something fun with it," Albright said.
Rossi is great to work with because he understands what private developers are up against, she said. He also did her Swan Creek Candle Company location, which won a preservation award.
"If you are financing the project yourself, you have to make it work. He understands that the best," she said. "You can go get money, but then you have to do it their way. Ultimately, I did the numbers on it and you don't save any money by going after grants. You are better off finding an architect like Scot and making it work."
Albright said she also likes keeping the bones of the building, leaving the beams and exposing the brick.
"We leave as much as possible of the history of the building within the constraints of present-day codes," she said.
Some of Rossi's clients struggle with understanding why they need handicap bathrooms for their restaurants, especially if it is for the third floor. What people don't realize is that handicap isn't just a person who needs a wheelchair, he said. Handicapped could mean blind or hearing impaired.
Rossi is direct with his clients.
"This is what the government says you have to. We can fight it. Here is how much money it will cost. We won't win."
Rewriting history
Diane Keil-Hipp, president of the Warehouse District Association, said finding new uses for old buildings is encouraging but needs oversight. Starting in January, members of the association's architectural review committee will review proposals for Downtown buildings. Their suggestions will factor into whether developers can get a permit from the City of Toledo.
"We try to be flexible and broad and protect the integrity of the neighborhood. It is a fine line and something you do on a case-by-case basis," Keil-Hipp said.
"We have some good people on our committee who are broad thinkers and they have invested in the neighborhood themselves and understand, 'Hey, I am the one forking over the bucks.'"
Ohio Historic Society spokesman Tom Wolf said developers are encouraged to preserve the significant historic aspects of a building, but if developers aren't using tax credits or grants, they aren't under any obligation.
He said saving a building can come in many forms and it doesn't have to be all or nothing.
"In general, we like to see older buildings reused whenever possible," he said.
That's something that works for Rossi — and his clients. He gets some of his best ideas for adaptive reuse when he is at home on his four acres.
Even though he comes into the office every day, it isn't until he gets home and eats dinner that he can relax and work from his office.
Although building from the ground up is a rare — and coveted — project, he chose not to build his South Toledo house.
"I would go insane. I would get information overload. But when you give me an old house with good bones, well, I know what I can and can't do. I am in the process of renovating my house for the past 15 years," he said, laughing.
Rossi has never been married, but has been with the same woman, Karen Dunne, for 27 years. She more than anyone sees his commitment to adaptive reuse. She loves to watch over his shoulder as he works.
Dunne is a manager at Stella's in Perrysburg, which Rossi also designed.
It's hard to go anywhere without seeing his touch on something, she said.
She especially loved seeing his satisfaction when the Bartley Lofts were finished.
"I am fascinated to see something he has on paper and then six months to a year later it is standing," she said. "The thing about Scot is he doesn't like what he does, he loves what he does."
That love could save Downtown.

Gmail has a very useful Labs feature called "undo send" that lets you "unsend" a message immediately after sending it. If you accidentally clicked on the "Send" button or you realize that you forgot to attach an important file, you have a few seconds to click on "undo" and continue to edit the message.
When Gmail launched this feature, you only had 5 seconds to undo sending a message, but Google constantly added new periods: 10 seconds, 20 seconds and now 30 seconds. You can change the "send cancellation period" from the settings page.
Probably a better idea would be to add an outbox, so that you can set a longer delay. Another benefit would be that you could also schedule sending an email message.

I am in the midst of full blown genea-mania after many months of down time. With luck I will return to sanity in time to pay bills before the utilities are shut off.
I blame FamilyTreeDNA. Their new reporting of X chromosome matches dragged me back into the DNA analysis quagmire. Autosomal testing is an appealing concept to those of us without Y chromosomes. Take a sample of our DNA and compare it to thousands of others. When there is a statistically significant match you can assume a genetic connection within measurable history. Not a shared haplogroup where the common ancestor was dead long before Moses gathered animals into the ark. A connection within a few centuries. A connection that can, in theory, be found.
Autosomal chromosomes can also be mapped. Again, in theory. Imagine being able to see a match and being able to identify the shared lineage because you have already identified that section as coming from great-grandma so and so. More than intriguing to me. And seemingly so straightforward.
Until I started analyzing the results. And heard that lovely GPS voice in my head - rerouting, rerouting, rerouting. Here's what I've learned from the profiles I manage.
- Some folks spent too much time together over the last thousand years. If you have Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry ( ✓ ) you are going to match more people than you can imagine. I loved having genetic confirmation of our family tradition of Jewish ancestry. But the genetic noise makes matching people where I have a shot at identifying a common ancestor difficult. My new strategy is to focus on matches that are not shared with my cousins of Ashkenazi descent. That will either highlight the Slavic matches or suggest Ashkenazi ancestry on multiple lines.
- Acadian ancestry ( ✓ ) dominates results just as much as Ashkenazi ancestry. Lovely people. Lovely culture. But not what I am trying to investigate. My relatives need to be more considerate about their ancestors.
- As for those matches that do seem straightforward - think again. My mother's entrenched southern roots ( ✓ ) mean that we may share multiple ancestral lines. (Back to the folks spending too much time together.) It's glaringly obvious if I examine the data rather than focus on paper trails.
- Cousin A and I match. I match her father. We have an easily documented shared Williams/Pugh line out of southwest Virginia. But she and I share more DNA than her father and I do. Enough to make it clear that she and I are also related through her mother. No clue what that connection is. While I can make some assumptions that the matches I share with her father are the Pugh/Williams lines, I wish I knew what the others were.
- Cousin B and I also match and are confirmed Pugh/Williams cousins. But (and this is a big one) we are also X chromosome matches. My known Pugh/Williams line is not an X chromosome match. Not at all. So where does that X match come from? We are clearly related more than once.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A documentary about an inmate on Florida's death row says the convicted killer might have been involved in the murder of O.J. Simpson's ex-wife and her friend.
The Investigation Discovery show, "My Brother the Serial Killer," will be broadcast Wednesday.
The film is a look at Glen Rogers, who was convicted by a Florida jury in 1997 for killing a woman.
Rogers was also convicted of murder in California and is a suspect in homicides in several other states.
Rogers met Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994 when he was living in Southern California, his family says in the documentary.
A criminal profiler in the film says he received paintings by Rogers with clues possibly linking him to the murders of Simpson and her friend, Ronald Goldman.

Wait.... so TRT doesn't make you superhuman...? Who knew?!
The Machida fight wasn't a fight, it was a track meet. I hate to criticize any fighters style because I hate it when other hate on wrestling, but there is a difference between an offensive maneuver that isn't exciting, and the complete lack of attempting offensive manuevers. Machida should have lost that fight on indifference alone. The Rashad fight could have went either way. I don't care how bad I get slammed for this, Bones wants NO part of Hendo. If he can't take Hendo down like Rashad couldn't, Hendo could very believably take his title. I'm not hating on Bones, but he does have some striking weaknesses that he makes up for with his length and wrestling, also Bones does not have KO power. If Hendo can neutarlize the wrestling, he come use his wolverine like chin to get through Bones difficult to handle combination of reach and odd nature of striking. I think we know how powerful Hendo is. It only takes one, and I think eventually he would land it.
Big Hairy American Winning Machine
As much as I understand Jones' sentiment on this, I dont _EVER_ want to hear a champion talking about who they do and dont want to fight. If Hendo works his way up to #1 contender again, then regardless of how Jones feels, he should be taking that fight.

Thanks for the update. If I'm doing my math correctly, your wife should be a little over 37 weeks at this point. In my non-medical opinion, it's great that she is still pregnant.
Just out of curiousity, did your wife see a maternal-fetal specialist? And what is his plan to lower your wife's proteinuria? (I ask these questions because as a husband, I, too, would want to make sure that the proteinuria level was going down and that my wife and child were in good hands.) I have never heard of Brick Layers Syndrome; sorry to hear that your wife was diagnosed with it. I hope that your wife's specialist is someone that you are comfortable placing your wife and unborn child's lives in his hands, that you can ask him any question and he answers it to your satisfaction, and that his course of treatment keeps your wife and child healthy and strong.
We continue to hope and pray that your wife and unborn child continue to be healthy and well. Thank you again for the update; we continue to wish you all the best.

"This card turned out beautifully. The edge-cut option made it stand out, the simple yet distinctive lettering drew just the right amount of attention to the text without distracting from the picture, which we wanted to be the focal point of the card. I wished the back side had allowed for a somewhat bigger single photo with a brief caption (the year, maybe), but that wasn't one of the options and it wasn't a dealbreaker for me."
"Tiny Prints has provided great customer service and consistent phenomenal quality whenever we order our family invitations or cards. I continue to use this company for all my stationary needs again and again!"
"I wanted the card that said Joy & Cheer, but could only make New Year Cheer come up. That was fine and we love the card."
"This card looked beautiful. We chose the bronze color foil. The quality of the paper was nice & thick enough. I felt the color of the prints were a little diluted but that could be because it was on matte paper. Overall, very satisfied! Tinyprints provided excellent customer service."
"These cards turned out even better than we could have imagined. They were beautiful, and we received so many complements on them. Delivery was fast, and tiny prints was great to work with. THANK YOU!!!! Beautiful!!!!!"

School started Monday, and while last week the construction crews were dashing around putting the finishing touches on the new Sullivan's Island Elementary School (SIES), Principal Susan King was not concerned.
She and her faculty and staff proudly flung the doors open to students and parents anticipating a glimpse of the facility nestled along the shores of Sullivan's Island.
This new schoolhouse is like no other in Charleston County.
While in preparations for renovation, an earthquake readiness evaluation was performed, which found that SIES (and multiple other district schools) failed to meet current code regulations. As part of the Charleston County School District's 2011-2016 Building Program, the 500-student school was rebuilt and will operate as a partial magnet.
The local coastal environment is the theme throughout the entire school as well as part of the magnet learning experience.
Four ecosystems are celebrated throughout the school including the salt marsh, the maritime forest, the beach and the ocean.
Natural light shines through the hundreds of large windows in each classroom and hallway with many areas overlooking the ocean vista. And these aren't your typical rectangular window, many classrooms boast portholes. For SIES, it's about bringing nature inside when the students can't be outside.
In addition, King said the idea behind windows not just facing out of the building but into the halls as well is to promote "whole-school learning" and interaction, rather than just individual classroom learning.
The chosen color palette for the interior reflects blues and greens and sand colors to coordinate with the theme as well.
At then end of each naturally lit hallway are flex spaces for learning, which according to Principal King, is a shift in teaching being seen nationwide.
Balconies line the exterior of the school which can also be used for instruction.
Two learning balconies, with views you can't find anywhere else, will feature electricity and water.
Officials worked with Green Rooftop Outfitters to construct grow containers in which every grade level will play a role in planting and caring for everything from fruits and vegetables to various salt and marsh grasses.
There's a wellness thread throughout the school as well. Special seating to promote learning for grades K-2 is being implemented, much like using an exercise ball as a chair.
A new organic menu has been designed as part of the farm-to-school effort to bring fresh fruits, vegetables and soups to the menu. Kids will enjoy a salad bar, much like upper school students do in their multi-purpose cafeteria/performing arts center/indoor physical education room. Outdoor seating will be made available on the back deck as well.
There are state-of-the-art music and art labs as well as marine science labs.
One of the first things classroom visitors see as they enter the school is the wet lab where a 100-gallon touch tank is featured, among three other tanks of fresh, salt and brackish marine life. Many of the inhabitants of the tank will be caught in the seine by the students of SIES.
The tanks are portable and will be moved to various classrooms each week for purposes of learning not just marine science, but math, journaling and more.
They were donated to the school through a fundraising effort by parents and the community to the tune of $33,000.
The raised building features outdoor class settings on the ground floor for debriefing after a session on the beach and as a space for shaded recreation activities.
The building bustled not only with incoming students, but with excitement from the students about a new learning environment like they've never seen before.

Course overview
Offered as part of the Deakin optometry program, the Master of Optometry aims to build upon and reinforce the knowledge and applied skills acquired throughout the Bachelor of Vision Science (or equivalent) in order to develop the attributes, discipline-specific knowledge, professional behaviours and standards required to practise as an optometrist within Australia and New Zealand.
Throughout this course you will develop knowledge and understanding of optometric clinical assessment and procedures; ethical, legal and professional standards of practice; and acquire high levels of inter-personal and inter-professional communication, relationship management and commercial awareness. You will acquire life-long independent learning skills, and a commitment to both patient-centred care and evidence-based practice, that will enable you to practise as a professional in this field.
Work-Integrated Learning
Clinical placements are an integral part of Deakin's optometry program. You will undertake a variety of short-term industry placements during the Master of Optometry and spend the final six months of the course as a 'student resident' in a range of clinical optometric and medical settings. These extensive clinical rotations will enable you to consolidate your knowledge and skills in supported environments under the supervision of qualified optometrists.
Clinical rotations may include time in outer metropolitan, regional or rural settings.
Professional recognition
Students who successfully complete H710 Master of Optometry can apply for registration to practise as an optometrist in Australia. Completion of the Bachelor of Vision Science alone does not meet the registration requirements for professional practice as an optometrist and must be completed in combination with Deakin's Master of Optometry (or equivalent program).
Students who successfully complete the Master of Optometry can apply for registration to practise as an optometrist in Australia. Deakin Optometry has been awarded 'accreditation with conditions' by the Optometry Board of Australia, following assessment by the Optometry Council of Australia and New Zealand (OCANZ). Graduates of the Master of Optometry will therefore be eligible to apply for registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), and to Medicare as service providers, making them able to pursue employment opportunities throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Note: This course is currently accredited with conditions as at the date of publishing.
Fees and charges
Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL)
EFTSL is the standard annual full time load. Eight credit points is the standard full time load for one year of study.
Domestic students enrolled in this course may be eligible for student income support through Youth Allowance and Austudy. Further information can be found at Deakin University's Fees website.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
A Commonwealth supported place is one for which the university receives some government funding. As such, students enrolled in these places are required to contribute only part of the cost of their course. To be eligible for a Commonwealth supported place you must be an Australian citizen, or a New Zealand citizen or holder of a permanent visa who will be residing in Australia for the duration of your unit/s of study.
Fee paying place - Domestic (DFP)
A fee paying place is one for which the university does not receive any government funding. As such, students enrolled in these places are required to contribute the full cost of their course.
Fee paying places are available to domestic students. Domestic students are those who are Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens or holders of a permanent visa.
* The "indicative annual course fee" cited has been provided as a guide only. It has been calculated on the basis of a typical enrolment of a student undertaking the course in 2015, and reflects the cost involved in undertaking a full-time quota of units within the specified discipline.
The actual fees charged by Deakin University will depend upon the discipline from which each individual unit is chosen, and may vary from the indicative course fee cited, particularly if units are chosen from a number of disciplines. The cost of each unit offered in 2015 can be viewed from the Unit Search.
Please note that the fees per unit/credit point may increase annually due to rises in the cost of course delivery and service.
Deakin assumes no responsibility for persons relying on "indicative course fees" to calculate the total future cost of their course.
Career opportunities
Optometrists are primary eye care practitioners who are involved in assessing the health and function of the eyes and visual system and the diagnosis and management of a wide range of ocular conditions, Optometrists work in a variety of health care settings, with the great majority working in a private practice environment – which itself can be very diverse. On a given day, an Australian optometrist may perform a primary visual assessment, manage a newly identified eye disease, prescribe a prescription medicine, or prescribe, fit and dispense optical aids. At the same time, many optometrists are business owners and retailers.
Some optometrists use their qualification to engage in other employment opportunities, such as research, other para-medical practice and work within vision-related non-government organisations.
Following successful completion of the Deakin Bachelor of Vision Science/Master of Optometry, Deakin graduates are well prepared for employment in a diverse range of work settings including, but not limited to: hospitals, clinics, health services, state and local governments, non-government organisations, research institutes, tertiary education institutions, private practice, and corporate and community settings. Career and employment opportunities for qualified optometrists include private and public eye care, practice ownership, research and teaching, other ophthalmic practices, and recognised specialties within optometry such as low vision, paediatric vision, and behavioural optometry.
Course rules
H710 Master of Optometry is a four trimester 16 credit point course. All of the units in the course are prescribed and each unit is worth 4 credit points. Graduates of H310 Bachelor of Vision Science are eligible to articulate directly into this course.

Requirements for Clinical Placements and Registration
All students are required to undertake a National Police Record Check prior to clinical placements in each calendar year of their course. Students who fail to obtain a Police Record Check prior to the commencement of clinical placements will not be able to undertake any placements.*
Several clinical placement agencies require that students are vaccinated / blood tested before undertaking clinical placement and / or graduate employment. Deakin University Medical Centres provides detailed advice, blood testing and administer all necessary vaccinations prior to commencement of clinical placements and/or employment.
* Department of Human Services Policy on Working with Children Check and Police Records Checks can be found at: http://www.dhs.vic.gov.au/about-the-department/our-organisation/careers/applying-for-a-job/application-process/step-4-safety-screening-checks
Entry requirements - general
