Re: Mike Cameron
posted at 4/13/2011 3:25 PM EDTI never thought Cameron was very good in his younger days very over rated. But my word so many left handed hitters on this team with no real lead off guy. They just arn't jelling very good together. You know you might think this is crazy but where is the big improvement over last year? Beltre granted he had a career year but Gonzo is going to have to put up some pretty darn good numbers to equal Beltre not saying he isn't ok. I like Gonzo excellent player. But then you look at Crawford I like Crawford also but you swapped his bat for Victor who was a very good hitter so where is the huge upgrade? The pitching still suckls other then Lester and Buch hopefully Beckett who knows there. But the way they were bragging up this team I just don't see the huge improvement.

Re: Mike Cameron
posted at 4/13/2011 11:12 PM EDTI think you are going to be suprised about who doesn't finish the year with the Red Sox. Cameron may or may not finish this year on the active roster, but he does have a hit and an RBI in one of the wins over the Yankees. He's also a former gold glover who is still a good CF'er.

2011 DL until ~MayfLaw. andrewmitch & georom to keep you company: fLaw The last thing this team needs is Jed Lowrie, Part IV. Theo loves this guy, drooling over him in a draft long since gone. Lowrie should be sent to the minors . July 2010 No team needs a guy with .900 OPS. fLaw Lowrie's a bust in the sense that many on this board claimed such things as a "bill mueller" type player. Are you kidding. Lugo's not a bust Posted by softlaw2 Apr 09. fLaw Hall needs to play 2nd, until Pedroia returns . funny i don't see any mention of who should face LHP with this quote. fLaw Hermida mode and Kotchman mode is obviously a reference to trade showcasing mode What? when was Hermida showcased for a trade? or Kotchman? fLaw Lowrie is not the answer, long term. He's a weak hitting utility man with a huge swing that doesn't generate power or OBP , 2008 30something Apr 2008 (sound familiar) Softlaw, you are being very childish.� Rather than actually reply to my points, you take isolated lines out of context and mix them with insults . AMitch on BHall: Horrible move by Theo. There is a very good chance he is not w/the team come September Georom: We got a decent weed wacker for Kotchman, I'm guessing that this Hall character can fetch us one of those nice fiberglass wheelbarrels...not a bad move for the future imho Drewski Lugo is a bust, Lowrie is also a bust... Both our short-stops are busts....People act like we dont have anything invested in Lowrie...Last I checked, a first round pick is a pretty large investment .

Slomag, you are correct that Jake was one the MLB ready player that Cafardo first reported. Once the extension fell through, it became a PTBNL. On MLBTR, a beat reporter that the FO leaks to said the Padres had interest. He then opined that Jake's name was pulled off the table because the Padres were scared away by the 3 years of arbitration raises. Of course, this is false. Jake's name came off the table when the extension deal talks fell apart until Theo decided to take the parameters and take a chance that an extension gets done and go forward on an expensive rental pacakge but a highway robbery extension trade package. It's likely that Theo knows that Miggy is the comparative and that AGon will agree to that base and lumping in the cheap 2011 year will make the deal one year more than the Red Sox final offer which made the extension deal breakdown. It's likely that both parties know that a deal is going to be struck as follows:
2011 6 M (No base raise until next year)
The de facto base is 20 over the 8 year term of service. Miggy's base was 19.04 X 8 years. The two deals will be almost identical in base and term. Softlaw said that Miggy was the comparative, not Howard's base or Tex's term. He was right. Because of the first year of service at 6M, it's not Tex's term or base.
It should also be noted that the Red Sox are in fact waiting to see how the shoulder does during spring training, as that gives them more leverage. I'm sure they know that the MIggy parameter will get the deal done, but they have the freedom to wait and drop the deal down if AGon struggles out of the gate.
Softlaw also said, when it was announced that AGon wouldn't be able to swing a bat for a while, that the injury should make the deal more likely to go through. This board clamied that the injury meant that the deal wouldn't happen until at least the summer or FA. Softlaw was right, as usual.

Michael, no sure if you are joking or not. I shot Tech Pan for years and had it developed in Technidol with great results. Tech Pan takes time to learn because of its charactor. I killed more than a few rolls before my developer and I figured out what subject matter it works well with and learn how to get teh right results with the developer. After some months just using it, it became my main film for some years. Then we experimented and developed it as a transparency and learned to get a smooth continious tonal range out of it and that was it. Jaw dropping to see it as a mf transpareny. It drew me away from Kodachrome as my stock tranparency film. It was like losing my favorite friend when it was discontinued. I've never found an emulsion I liked as well. Pan F is okay but still not Tech Pan.

I have been fiddling with a home brew Tech Pan dev from the Darkroom Cookbook, and it works very well. I have a couple of sachets of technidol, but not enough to work with the amount of film I am working through.
I bought a sealed 25 sheet box of old 8x10 tech pan at a camera show for $5 last year. The box was distressed. I cut the 8x10 sheets down to 4x5 film size. It turns out that one (always the same) quadrant of the 8x10 has an adhesion spot. Something heavy was placed on the box for a long time and the emusion has thinned as it flowed away from that spot. Stll, 75 sheets of tech pan 4x5, and the ability to fine tune developer results on another 25 sheets, not bad for $5.
my real name, imagine that.
The results I found most acceptable with Tech Pan, after much testing were with TD-3. Still, in the end, for my work I did not care much for it. Invisible grain, yes. Everything else about it was disappointing to me, including its extended red sensitivity. I tried working with it when shooting 35mm because like many, I went through a phase during which I thought with document films I could get a larger-format look out of 35mm. To my eye, it never comes close. There is simply no substitute for bigger film. So for 35mm I decided I would stick with films like TMX and work hard to get the most out of them. Just my opinion though. I've since experimented in detail with CMS-20, just for the fun of it, but that's just horrible.

NEWPORT-North Country softball fought until the final play Saturday afternoon as they hosted and lost to a strong team from St. Johnsbury Academy.
The first inning was a rather dry one. Taylor Blake took the circle for NCU, finding the zone as the guests managed some weak contact. Maddie Mosher fielded the first hit and hurled the ball to first for the initial out. She fielded the second as well, flipping the ball to second to get one more on a force. St. J's Margret Fogarty hit a far foul ball to right that would be caught by Brittany Verge for three.

Chimayó is best known for red chile and El Santuario de Chimayó, but a group of local artists is hoping to soon be included in that list.
Joan and Lowlow Medina, along with their daughters Anamaria and Marisol, will be part of a holiday art show at the their gallery from 6-8 p.m. Friday.
Along with the Medina family, Fernando Bimonte, Alfredo Baca, Charles Medina and Sharon Candelario will also show their work.
The Medinas are no strangers to the art world. In fact, Joan and their daughters were part of the "Her Legacy" art show at the Bond House Museum in Española in March.
Joan and Lowlow have been doing art for 30 years as a couple and got their start on a different kind of media — and what some might consider an unconventional way.
"Lowlow and I started by painting murals on cars. He did murals on walls and on wood or canvas, then he got me into painting on canvas, too," Joan said of their artistic beginnings.
The couple's children were exposed to art at early ages.
"My two daughters stated at the age of three. Now Ana is 17 and Marisol is eight," Joan said.

If the box office draws are any indicator (and while we still wait to see what exactly is going on with Star Wars), Disney's acquisition of Marvel has been one of their most successful collaborations in mainstream entertainment lately. And now the two creative empires have joined forces on a more public level via Disney Kingdoms, pairing Marvel Comics up alongside Disney's Imagineers to create comics the house of mouse can call their own.
And when Disney aspires to create a new hit franchise, they always start with their theme park rides… this time around Journey into Imagination (located in Epcot's Imagination! Pavilion) serves as the inspiration for Figment, their new five part miniseries.
Set in early 20th Century London, Figment's steampunk-inspired story seems set to reintroduce audiences to both the gleefully inquisitive purple dragon (whom is the series' namesake) and his creator, the enigmatic Dreamfinder.
[blockquote] "Can you imagine the never-before-revealed origin of one of Disney's most creative characters? Can you picture a Marvel spin on the Epcot® Theme Park's mind-expanding attraction, Journey Into Imagination? Have you ever wondered how the inventor known as Dreamfinder created a certain inquisitive purple dragon?" says editor Bill Rosemann. "Be prepared for all of these answers–not to mention amazing creatures, magical lands, and cool clockwork contraptions–in FIGMENT!"[/blockquote]

Stafford by-election live
Ongoing coverage of the count for Queensland's Stafford by-election, and its aftermath.
|2PP (proj.)
|Bob Andersen (Liberal National)
|Sally-Anne Vincent (Family First)
|Anne Boccabella (Greens)
|Anthony Lynham (Labor)
|Booths reporting:
|14 out of 14
The table above shows raw figures in the first two columns for the primary vote, then uses booth matching over the next three columns for the primary vote swings, two-party preferred result and two-party swing. However, these figures are entirely derived from the polling day booth results, and are unaffected by the 2742 pre-polls and 2946 postals which have been added to the count, which are included in the first two columns. Here the swing has been slightly lower – respectively at 16.0% and 14.7% by my reckoning, compared with the 20.3% shown based on polling booth results. So it would seem in the final analysis that the swing is unlikely to have a two in front of it. An interesting new feature of the declaration vote breakdowns is "uncertain identity", which no doubt has something to do with the new voter identification regime. There are as yet no results listed, but presumably this will change over the next week as the ECQ investigates the declaration votes of those who showed up at the polling booth without the required ID.
The map to the right shows booth-level two-party results from both the March 2012 state election and yesterday. The swing was highly uniform throughout the electorate with the exception of the Chermside booth, where it was only about 6%, and the Prince Charles Hospital booth, where it was 31% (not shown because with only 223 votes cast it falls below the 250-vote threshold I use for inclusion). The waters in Chermside may have been muddied by the fact that it attracted voters who at the general election voted in nearby polling booths in other electorates.
The chart to the left offers some historical perspective by detailing polling booth results (so no postals, pre-polls, absents or other declaration votes) in Stafford from this and previous election. I did this half in the expectation of showing that 2012 rather than yesterday was the extraordinary result, but what emerges is that it was a very good result for Labor by any measure. It should be particularly encouraging for them that they were about 6% up on two-party preferred from a winning election in 2009, although I should caution that Labor did seem to suffer a bit of a backlash in Brisbane's inner north on that occasion.
Another way of putting the result in perspective is offered by the chart to the right, which seeks to illustrate the extent to which by-election swings provide a pointer to the result of the next election. Drawing on federal and state by-election results over recent decades, it shows the government swing (which is usually negative) on the X-axis and the overall swing recorded at the subsequent election on the Y-axis. The linear trendline that runs through the middle is not brilliantly predictive, explaining only 42% of the variation, but the relationship is there, and for a 20% by-election swing it implies a swing of 8.7% at the following election. While this is a seismic shift in absolute terms, it still leaves the LNP out in front by 54-46. If such a swing was uniform, Labor would emerge with a still fairly modest 27 seats in an assembly of 89 – although importantly, one of those seats would be Ashgrove.
7.51pm. Stafford Heights two-party result added.
7.39pm. All that remains for the evening is two-party results from the Stafford Heights booth and perhaps a few pre-poll numbers. The projected swing to Labor is now over 20% – a disastrous result for the LNP by any standard.
7.20pm. All booths now in on the primary vote, and the result is fairly clearly looking worse for the LNP than Redcliffe, which would be gravely alarming for them.
7.03pm. At around the time I thought results would start coming in, they're actually well on their way to finished. Preference shares: 52.1% to Labor (41.4% in 2012), 14.4% to LNP (20.3%), 33.5% exhausted (38.3%).
7.01pm. Gympie Road booth added, swing now 18.9%.
6.58pm. Stafford West booth has reported, and the swing is staying above 18%.
6.55pm. There are now enough two-party votes that I'm no longer going off 2012 preferences, and the Labor swing is now even higher – over 18%.
6.49pm. I very seriously understimated how fast this count was going to be. Six normal booths in plus a pre-poll, and the result is looking very similar to Redcliffe with a swing of around 16%. It can most assuredly be called for Labor now.
6.48pm. Chermside has reported 2PP: four votes to LNP, nine to Labor, 12 exhaust.
6.45pm. I'm doing some experimental probability calculations for my own amusement, and I presently have Labor's win probability at 94.05%.
6.42pm. Newmarket booth added on primary vote. Whereas I only had the swing at Chermside at about 6%, being right on what Labor required, here it's 18.8%.
6.37pm. Two-party result from Prince Charles added: of the non-major party votes, 16 went to Labor, five to the LNP, and eight exhausted.
6.33pm. A far more moderate result from the 382 votes at Chermside, where I'm rating Labor up 9% and the LNP down 3.5% – although a number of booths from 2012 aren't in use this time, so such comparisons are problematic.
6.23pm. Only 216 votes from Prince Charles hospital booth, so quicker off the mark than I thought. The results are … interesting. My two-party preferred projection is at this stage based on the preference allocation from the 2012 election.
6.10pm. Polls have closed at Queensland's Stafford by-election and counting is under way. This post will follow the count as the results come in, with the above table showing raw primary votes and percentages, and booth-matched two-party preferred projections and primary vote swings. This being a highly urban electorate, all the booths will be large and take a while to count, so I wouldn't hold my breath on any results being in before 7pm.

Antony has the 2PP at 33% from the hospital booth, which means they nicked a Family Firster.

Stephen, it's a good deal shy of the 26.1% at the Miranda by-election. Of course, part of the story here is that the spectacular 2011 and 2012 state election results in New South Wales and Queensland are being followed by similarly extraordinary corrections.

The thing about how things are travelling is that the LNP have turned a massive parliamentary majority into a potentially close-run bid for a second term, while at the same time exposing their own leader to losing his seat.
If Newman is turfed by his constituents, yet the LNP are re-elected, who is the next leader?
50Posted Saturday, July 19, 2014 at 8:23 pm | Permalink
That factorwillcertainlyplay on the punters' minds Confessions.
Newma hopes of holding Ashgrove are objectively slim. If the LNP dont find him another, this will speak volumes about their attitude to their own leader.

(Uriah Hall)
Regardless of what one thinks of Ring of Combat's belts a ROC show with notitle fights is almost unheard of, "almost" because that is what ROC 40has. Despite this the pay-per-view onGoFightLive is well worth checking out. ROC 40 takes place April 27th at the Tropicana Resort and Casino.
Former champion Uriah Hall is one of the fan favorites at ROC as he brings ahighly aggressive style that has led to none of his wins going to thejudges. Now 6-2 Hall is coming off aheel hook win over Daniel Akinyemi in February, Hall's second win in arow. Also 6-2 Dominique Steel is bestknown for his win over Chris Mierzwiak in Strikeforce which he followed up withtwo more wins before taking a loss to David Branch in his most recentfight. Hall is definitely the favoriteto win this main event but Steel is tough competition in a fight of localfavorite vs. out-of-towner sure to excite the fans.
ROC are known for producing UFC fighters but not many UFC vets go to ROC,especially those who haven't fought there before. Marvin Eastman has had a rocky road sinceleaving the UFC going 2-6 since the Ultimate Fighter 7 finale in October2008. Eastman was last seen losing toGlover Teixeira by KO last August in Shooto Brazil, his seventh by KO/TKO whichis surprising considering Eastman is known for his striking. In the same time since Eastman has been outof the UFC Dmitry Zabolotny has gone 10-2 for an overall record of 14-4 mostrecently finding an armbar to defeat Oleg Tinins last November. This fight should be interesting but isanother "play to the fans" fight with angles of Russia vs. the US and aging UFCvet (Eastman is 40) vs. young gun.
The rest of the card is the expected but noteworthy mix of local gyms fromPellegrino MMA to Team Serra/Longo to Team Tiger Schulmann. Readers may not recognize the names of thefighters yet but odds are they will by next year.
Andrew Harrison vs. Epifano Diaz
Walter Howard vs. Michael Andrillo

CISPA Passes with Fourth Amendment Busting Provisions
Posted By kurtnimmo On April 26, 2012 @ 9:44 pm In Featured Stories,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled
Kurt Nimmo
April 26, 2012
Sudden action on CISPA today signals that the House was instructed to pass the legislation despite overwhelming opposition. It was rushed to the floor a day early and quickly brought to a vote with additional amendments.
Alex Jones reports on the passage of CISPA. As of this writing, the corporate media has not bothered to post a video.
"Pushing the bill through is bad enough, but what's worse are the amendments that Rep. Ben Quayle (R – AZ) managed to get added. These amendments make CISPA infinitely worse than it already was," writes Game Politics.
The amendments converted the supposed "cybersecurity" bill into an outright Big Brother surveillance tool that completely nullifies Fourth Amendment protection online.
From Techdirt:
Previously, CISPA allowed the government to use information for "cybersecurity" or "national security" purposes. Those purposes have not been limited or removed. Instead, three more valid uses have been added: investigation and prosecution of cybersecurity crime, protection of individuals, and protection of children. Cybersecurity crime is defined as any crime involving network disruption or hacking, plus any violation of the CFAA.
Basically this means CISPA can no longer be called a cybersecurity bill at all. The government would be able to search information it collects under CISPA for the purposes of investigating American citizens with complete immunity from all privacy protections as long as they can claim someone committed a "cybersecurity crime". Basically it says the 4th Amendment does not apply online, at all. Moreover, the government could do whatever it wants with the data as long as it can claim that someone was in danger of bodily harm, or that children were somehow threatened—again, notwithstanding absolutely any other law that would normally limit the government's power.
Dirty tricks were used to pass CISPA. The legislation allows the national security state to circumvent the Constitution and allow carte blanche surveillance of the internet – from computer networks to private computers and devices to the emerging "internet of things." Passage of CISPA is a milestone for the high-tech surveillance police state now going in place.
The traitors in Congress threw up a wilted fig leaf to cover their posteriors. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said the bill was "needed to prepare for countries like Iran and North Korea so that they don't do something catastrophic to our networks here in America," Politico reports, while Speaker of the House John Boehner said the legislation will protect the economy and create jobs.
Rogers' transparent excuse was is little more than a sick joke considering the fact the U.S. and Israel unleashed the Stuxnet virus on Iran's computer network. North Korea is a convenient culprit and its ability to attack the United States is seriously in question, especially after another failure to put a satellite in orbit, something the former Soviet Union and the United States did over half a century ago.
Following the defeat of SOPA and PIPA earlier this year, Congress was told to sell CISPA as a bulwark against terrorism. Obama has promised to veto the bill but this remains to be seen and is likely yet another trick.
In December at the last moment Obama signed the NDAA after he said he would veto it. No doubt he will perform the same parlor trick with CISPA.
Call your representatives now and strongly voice your condemnation. Also call your senator and warn him or her that there will be serious repercussions if they vote this monstrosity into law.

Common Name: Rue, Herb of Grace[1]
Scientific Name: Ruta graveolens
Jefferson listed Rue among his "Objects for the Garden" in 1794.[2]. The seeds for the plant were offered by Bernard McMahon in 1804. In spite of its curious smell, Rue was eaten in ancient times to preserve the eyesight, especially for artisans like painters and carvers who needed their sight for their livelihood.[3] It was established in American gardens before the Revolutionary War due to its medicinal uses.[4] It was used for antidote to poisons, animal bites and insect stings, and mixed with lavender, rosemary, sage, wormwood, and mint, this mixture add fragrance to the air, especially for the homes of the sick.[5]
Rue is a shrubby, perennial herb with small, four-petaled flowers and showy, fragrant bluish-green leaves.

Autism Studies Concentration: Career Outlook
As a result of the increasing rate of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnoses across the country, employment of teacher's aids, occupational aids, board certified assistant behavior analysts, therapist assistants and other related positions specific to the field of autism are also on the rise.
Check out our interview with Dr. Michelle Rowe for in-depth information about this concentration. Learn about the value it has on your career and the impact it makes on the lives of those who have autism spectrum disorder.
Becoming a Fully Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst
The eight (8) courses in the online autism studies concentration and/or online post Bachelor's certificate program meet the educational requirements for becoming a Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA). Becoming a fully certified BCaBA requires an undergraduate degree, 500 hours of supervised experience (achieved through 3 practicum courses as part of the curriculum) and passing an international exam.
To help you meet the Behavior Analyst Certification Board's supervised experience requirements, Saint Joseph's University offers fieldwork courses.
BCaBAs use principles of learning, including operant and respondent learning, to address the behavioral needs of individuals with ASD--ranging from pre-school age to seniors--in a variety of settings. BCaBAs may work as individual clinical assistants or find employment in:
- Education
- Behavioral medicine
- Mental health
- Disability
- Children's services
- Business
- Colleges and universities
BCaBAs are not limited to working with autistic individuals. The certification is used in many other areas, including behavior and learning disorders, developmental disabilities, performance management, parent and child interactions, child abuse and neglect, curriculum development and evaluation, parent and staff training, and language development.
The BCaBA certification is recognized and accepted all over the world as evidence of a specific level of skills and competency in behavior analysis. With the increasing number of ASD diagnoses and relatively low number of certified behavior analysts, the employment outlook for graduates with this concentration are excellent.

The winners of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize were announced this afternoon. In addition to the awards for journalism, prizes are also given in the area of Letters, Drama, and Music. Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch took this year's prize for Fiction. The judges said that The Goldfinch is "a beautifully written coming-of-age novel with exquisitely drawn characters that follows a grieving boy's entanglement with a small famous painting that has eluded destruction, a book that stimulates the mind and touches the heart." A favorite in the category, The Goldfinch was featured on many lists of the best books of 2013 and has been very popular with BCPL readers.
Other winners include Margaret Fuller: A New American Life by Megan Marshall for Biography, 3 Sections by Vijay Seshadri for Poetry, Toms River: A Story of Science and Salvation by Dan Fagin for General Nonfiction, The Internal Enemy: Slavery and War in Virginia, 1772-1832 by Alan Taylor for History and The Flick by Annie Baker for Drama.

Annie and Jason were one of the first weddings at The Bellevue Club's newly-renovated Olympic Room in late 2010. They set up an awesome backdrop for their ceremony and chose a cool purple glow to illuminate the fabric which contrasted quite well with the brown/orange wood paneling of the room. The room was partitioned down the middle and Annie entered with her father through a door at the center.
After the ceremony, the guests moved out into the lounge area near the restaurant while the Club staff turned over the ceremony room and removed the partition. The bride and room's table was situated on the same platform. Everyone enjoyed the food, the cupcakes and Bamboo Beats kept the music going until Annie and Jason retired to their suite upstairs.

One dead, one injured in Deer Run house fire
ANDERSON - A 72-year-old Anderson County man died Friday when he went back into a burning house to find a fire extinguisher.
An autopsy conducted Friday afternoon found that Charles Foehrenbach died of smoke inhalation, Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore said.
Firefighters found Foehrenbach's body inside the charred remains of a home at 347 Peninsula Drive. The home, which tax records show had a market value of $219,000, is in the Deer Run subdivision off S.C. 187.
Shore said that Foehrenbach and homeowner Linda Dodson were sleeping on a couch in the home when they were awakened by smoke and flames.
Both made it out of the burning house, but then Foehrenbach went back inside to search for a fire extinguisher.
Dodson suffered minor burns and was taken by ambulance to AnMed Health Medical Center in Anderson. She was listed in good condition on Friday afternoon, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The fire at Dodson's home was reported shortly after 11 a.m. by a South Carolina Highway Patrol trooper who saw smoke while driving on S.C. 187 and turned into the subdivision to investigate, Anderson County Fire Chief Billy Gibson said.
The home was fully engulfed in flames when about 40 volunteers from the county's Center Rock, Centerville and Williford fire stations arrived. The firefighters were able to bring the blaze under control in about 15 minutes, Center Rock Fire Chief Billy McClure said.
The fire apparently started in the kitchen, Gibson said. He listed the cause as accidental.
There has been at least one other kitchen fire at the same home in recent years, Shore said.
Shore said Foehrenbach was recently divorced and had moved into Dodson's home about three weeks ago.
Foehrenbach's is the second fire-related death in Anderson County in 2012. Danny Ray Reed, a 55-year-old Belton resident, died Jan. 31 in a house fire on Pine Forest Drive.
Sabrina McCall, who lives across the street from the home that burned Friday, said the house was one of the first ones built in the Deer Run subdivision. It was built by Dodson's father, she said.
"She is a good lady and I hope she pulls through this," McCall said.

Saturday, June 28, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Bill Taylor, director of track & field, announced the addition of eight new freshmen from the class of 2014, along with one transfer joining the women's cross country program this Fall.
The group will all also run middle distance and distance track for Lipscomb.
"I'm very happy with another terrific class!" Taylor said. "First and foremost, these girls are all a terrific fit with our incredible team and university culture. They are high character, high academics and are great people.
"They also bring a combination of proven talent and great future potential. We have a proven history of developing distance runners, and I am excited to help these girls have fun and run faster than they can imagine!"
As usual, Taylor and his staff have recruited across the country to find the right additions. This class of eight represents seven different states.
Washington state is again well represented with two, while Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, Illinois, Colorado and Tennessee are also represented. In all, the 28 women on the 2014 Lipscomb Cross Country team will represent 13 different states.
"Lipscomb is not like any other NCAA I school in the nation, and our program is very unique," Taylor said. "We have a goal of winning national championships in cross country, and we get closer to that goal every year. It will happen here.
"However, we emphasize team culture, high character, high academics, service, spiritual growth and personal growth. Some programs have the big name, but we have a genuine culture that emphasizes the whole person in a way you honestly can't find anywhere else."
Taylor believes the upcoming freshmen will stand out in more than just athletics while at Lipscomb.
"We are excelling in every area," Taylor said. "Athletically we are winning conference championships and are on the verge of qualifying the team to nationals. In track we are very strong in distance, and are qualifying athletes to the NCAA I National Championship finals now.
"Academically we have been one of the top NCAA I programs in the nation all seven years I've been here. Socially and spiritually we are serving in the community and will take teams on our sixth and seventh mission trips this December (Haiti and Dominican Republic). But the best thing about our program is our team atmosphere. We have a unified, fun and super supportive family team."
Taylor and the recruiting staff look for athletes who will fit the mold for Lipscomb's unique team culture.
"We are reaching amazing recruits because they figure out, especially after they visit and see what we are really like, that we offer something very special, something they want in their collegiate athlete experience," Taylor said. "Plus, it's fun to draw athletes together from all over the country to learn and grow from each other."
The 2014 women's distance class:
Paige Stoner (Pottsville Area High School – Pottsville, Penn., High School Coach: Barb McGinley, Parents: Denise & Daniel Stoner)
Reason for Choosing Lipscomb: "I never felt so welcomed in a new place in my life! It was evident that the whole team is a very close knit family and it was a family that I could see myself being a part of. I also liked that the team does so many things outside of running together. I found it exciting that the team is very young and full of so much talent that I know there are so many great things coming in the near future!"
Coach Taylor on Paige: "Paige is an awesome person. She has a great positive personality, is a top student, and is a very talented runner. I got to watch her Penn Relays race, and it was very impressive how she made the right moves and ran so tough. She has everything she needs to have an incredible collegiate career and she is going to do some big things here. She is a perfect fit for our program and I look forward to helping her excel and to seeing her impact our team as we strive for big goals."
Kayla Montgomery (Mount Taber High School – Winston-Salem, PA, High School Coach: Patrick Cromwell, Parents: Alysia & Keith)
Reason for Choosing Lipscomb: "I chose Lipscomb because I really appreciated how the team and coaching staff were willing to take on the risk of having me run for them, even though with Multiple Sclerosis I'm technically not guaranteed four more years of running. I also chose Lipscomb because everyone that I met was extremely welcoming and made me feel at home right away. I'm excited to join the program because all of the girls were extremely nice, and because I can't wait to see how much I will be able to improve with the help of such a great program. I would also like to help the team reach their goals of winning an NCAA I National title."
Coach Taylor on Kayla: "Kayla is an inspiration. She has taken something that would stop most people, and has striven for the greatest success. She in a terrific person and she fits perfectly with our culture. She is driven in every area of her life, is an incredible student, and is tough as nails. She is going to do some big things in her running career and she will help us accomplish our team goals as well."
Katie Sperry (Glenn Allen High School – Glen Allen, VA, High School Coach: Samantha Cancro, Parents: Amy & Joe Sperry)
Reason for Choosing Lipscomb: "I am beyond excited to begin the next step of my running career with Lipscomb. The team is very welcoming and the family-oriented atmosphere really makes it feel like home. The spiritual aspects of the campus drew my attention from the start. I also enjoy the culture of Nashville and can't wait to experience all it has to offer. The team at Lipscomb is truly unique and definitely hard to find. They have a desire to never settle for anything less than they are capable of. I can't wait to be a part of it."
Coach Taylor on Katie: "Katie brings excellence in academics, a great attitude and personality and a lot of talent to our program. She fits with our culture perfectly. She has also been in a program where she has had to train alone or train with the boys team. Having her training at our level, and with a huge group of fast girls is really going to help her. She has a very bright future here!"
Kacey Kemper (King's High School – Edmonds, WA, High School Coaches: Rod Wilcox, Daute Gouge, Brent Woodham, Parents: Kim & Keith Kemper)
Coach Taylor on Kacey: "Kacey is another great fit for our program. Obviously I am going to say that about each recruit, or we wouldn't have recruited them. Kacey has a great personality, a big heart for God and a huge desire to serve others. She is excellent academically. Kacey also comes from a small school in Washington and I know she has a ton of untapped potential that we are going to unlock here."
Avery Franklin (Maryville High School – Maryville, Tenn. High School Coaches: Landon Harris, Boone Dixon, Nick WHite Parents: Lee & Krysti Franklin )
Reason for Choosing Lipscomb: "I am excited to join the program at Lipscomb because I really want to improve. I liked the extremely centered Christian environment. I also like the close team and how structured the training is."
Coach Taylor on Avery: "Avery is a great fit here, she excels academically and will be a valuable member of the team. I've watched Avery compete and she is a diamond in the rough. We have a history of helping distance women drop massive time and she can be another of our girls that go from the 18's to the 16's. I'm excited to help her grow and run fast!"
Brianne Hoglin (Classical Academy – Monument, CO, High School Coach: Alan Versaw, Parents: Jennie & Brian Hoglin)
Reason for Choosing Lipscomb: "I am very excited to join the team at Lipscomb because I believe it will be an excellent opportunity to improve as an athlete an grow as a person. It seems to me as a gem with wonderful teammates and a great environment. It was the school I visited where I felt the most at home and where I found people who felt the same about running and life in general as I do. I chose the school because it had everything I was looking for and that includes a team I am beyond excited to run with."
Coach Taylor on Brianne: "Brianne has a terrific personality and a positive attitude. She has a great leadership background and is excellent academically. I'm not honestly sure what to expect from her in Cross Country, which is kinda fun. In track I expect she will be primarily 400/800 and might try a 1500 at some point. So in some ways Cross Country is primarily for strength building. But she is also coming down from altitude, and we have a habit of getting dramatic improvements, so I feel very positive about her potential in Cross Country as well. She's a great addition to our program in every way."
Kinzie Icayan (Richland High School - Richland, WA, High School Coach: Jay Bartlett, Parents: Shanda & Cesar Icayan)
Reason for Choosing Lipscomb: "So many reasons!!! When I visited the team was SO welcoming. A ton of the girls have already reached out to me to make sure school was going well and that if I ever needed anything to just let them know. I cannot wait to get to know them all better, it'll be like having a ton of big sisters! They were really positive and encouraging too. You could just tell that they loved being around one another. My number one reason for choosing Lipscomb was obviously to run there, but the school itself was awesome. The buildings were super pretty and the number of majors they offer gave me a lot of academic options. The fact that God is always at the center of everything they do is another major contributor to why Lipscomb was so appealing. Coach Taylor, Coach Jenny and the rest of the team was awesome and I can't wait to run for them. In last years recruiting press release one of the girls said that she felt that if she didn't go to Lipscomb (after visiting), she would be missing out on something really special. I couldn't really understand what she meant by that until I visited Lipscomb myself and I couldn't agree more. "
Coach Taylor on Kinzie: "Kinzie is, of course, another great fit. I really like her sense of humor…of course I'm a northwesterner, and we have a slightly different sense of humor in the northwest J. She brings very strong academics, a great personality and a big desire to get better. Her times coming in aren't where most of our recruits are, but that isn't a bad thing. We develop and improve runners like no other program in the nation. While we are signing top national recruits these days, we also have a roster and a history full of upper 19-minute runners that run in the 16's for us, and I love working with both. It will all depend on Kinzie's belief and desire. I know she has the ability and it will be fun to help her discover it. "
Grace Dean (transfer from Olivet Nazarene University. Lakes Community High School – Lindenhurst, IL, Coaches: Keith West & Matthew Rife, Parents: Bryan & Beth Dean)
Coach Taylor on Grace: "Grace is super nice and has a lot of potential. She ran very well for Olivet her freshman year and for whatever reason didn't have as much success this past year. Sometimes a change of environment can make a huge difference and I know she can excel here. She's a long distance runner with experience already in the 10,000m. We can really build on that. She's a great fit and had a good understanding of the unique culture at Lipscomb, as her sister attends Lipscomb. If she takes a deep breath, resets, and buys in to what we are all about and how we do things, she is going to crush her personal bests!"

Barbara Webb, 33, of Madison Heights said she was fired from the all-girls Marian High School in August after working there for nine years. She notified employers of her pregnancy in July.
Although Webb's termination letter didn't give a reason for her firing, she said, her contract prohibits her from making lifestyle decisions or actions that are contrary to Catholic doctrine.
"That you can't hide a pregnancy from the public is why I was terminated," she said.
The school's president, Sister Lenore Pochelski, confirmed to the Detroit Free Press on Tuesday that Webb's employment ended Aug. 19. She declined to comment for confidentiality reasons.
Webb said she declined an offer to resign with health insurance through the spring semester but without pay or other benefits.
"I really felt like resigning was a lie; to me, that was willingly leaving," Webb said. "I was kind of compelled to just let people know the truth."
Webb isn't sure whether or not she will press charges against the school. An employment lawyer in Bloomfield Hills, Deborah Gordon, said freedom of religion under the First Amendment could apply if the case went to court.
"Pregnancy discrimination is flat-out illegal," Gordon said. "There are exemptions for religious institutions. I don't know if she's going to fit into one of them here."
A number of people from the Marian community have spoken out against the school's decision to fire Webb.
"I think the bigger thing everyone is feeling is we have been taught this whole time to live a Christian life and be accepting of people and yet we go and fire one of our favorite teachers?" said Megan Gorman, a former student of Webb's. "It makes us reconsider and question the time we spent at Marian."
Webb said she valued her time at the high school, but felt she had to come forward with what she sees as a human-rights issue.
"This is definitely not a crusade against the school," Webb said of her decision to go public. "This is so much more than me and Marian. It's letting people know what type of social injustice is still happening."
