7th Annual Folk Music Series: A Tribute to Woody Guthrie
Sunday, April 27 • 2pm
Carman Community Room
The 7th Annual Folk Music Series: Protest Music- Songs With Meaning concludes with Adam Miller.
An autoharpist, singer, and storyteller, Adam will focus primarily of the work of American progressive songwriter Woody Guthrie. Free and open to the public.
Guthrie was an Oklahoman who lived from 1912 to 1967 and who wrote more than a thousand songs by creating clever, modern lyrics which he affixed to traditional melodies. Miller's sing-along program tells the true story of the man who wrote "This Land is Your Land," the best known English-language folksong on the planet.
One of the premier autoharpists in the world, Adam Miller is a renowned American folksinger and natural-born storyteller. An accomplished folklorist, historian, musicologist, and song-collector, he has amassed a remarkable repertoire of over 5,000 songs. Miller accompanies his rich, resonant baritone voice with lively finger-picking acoustic guitar and stunningly beautiful autoharp melodies. A masterful entertainer who never fails to get his audience singing along, he has distinguished himself as one of the great interpreters of American folktales and folksongs, and as a performer who appeals to audiences of all ages.
Traveling thousands of miles each year, Miller has performed in concert halls from the Everglades to the Arctic Circle. www.folksinging.org

Des Moines Register - U.S. money to revive affordable housing in Iowa
Iowans hard-hit by the recession and natural disasters last year should see an infusion of affordable housing - and new jobs - with $72 million from the federal stimulus package.
The money should push forward about 50 affordable housing projects that have been on hold since the collapse of the tax credit investor market last year, state leaders said Thursday.
The state was unable to say how many jobs would be created, but developer Rick Tollakson estimated that each project could need a couple hundred workers, depending on its size. … The program will help cities and towns across the state, but leaders say it is especially needed in areas pounded by floods and tornadoes last year. [6/5/09]
Aiken Standard (South Carolina) - Aiken schools get $6.9 million in stimulus money
Aiken County school officials found out Friday morning the district will receive about $6.9 million from the federal stimulus funds…. School board members, faced with massive cuts for next school year, will discuss how to allocate the money at their meeting Tuesday night.
The funds had been tied up in legal and political maneuvering since Gov. Mark Sanford said he would not request a $700 million federal stimulus package unless it could be used to pay off state debt. The Obama administration refused. On Thursday the state Supreme Court ordered Sanford to request the money, which is aimed primarily at struggling schools. [6/5/09]
WZZM Channel 12 - Federal stimulus dollars help West Michigan youth find jobs
Governor Granholm has named June Youth Employment Month in Michigan. … This summer, more than 304,000 teenagers are expected to seek jobs in our state. The federal stimulus is making that hunt easier by funding a job training program, creating hundreds of summer jobs.
This is a great opportunity to give kids who are right now in competition with adults to get these jobs,' says Valarie Thompson with the White Lake Workforce Development Center. … Thompson is matching area employers with teenagers looking for jobs. The youth training program provides workers to area employers with the federal government footing the bill.
The youth job training program uses $1.2 billion dollars in stimulus funds. The 10 week program is available statewide. It will create thousands of positions for youth ages 14 through 24. [6/5/09]
Construction Digital - Stimulus aid has Colorado projects up and running
Colorado's first highway projects funded by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 are now under way. Stimulus aid is being used for a local project in the city of Littleton along with work on one state highway and one interstate highway.
A $1.2 million resurfacing project in Littleton is expected to last approximately 30 days and will employ approximately 30 private sector construction workers. [6/5/09]
WKTV (New York) - Richfield Springs and Canastota to receive stimulus funds for clean water projects
Governor David A. Paterson announced Thursday numerous clean water projects selected to receive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding. … 22 communities from across the State will be awarded $130 million for the construction of water treatment plants and the installation of sewer system upgrades, including Madison and Otsego Counties.
…The projects will create an estimated 1,300 direct and indirect jobs across the State in many communities that have been deeply affected by the current recession. These positions will include construction, mining, and professional opportunities, such as carpenters, plumbers, electricians, heavy-equipment operators, engineers, steel miners, manufacturers as well as legal jobs, high-tech jobs, and plant operators.

"War Stars" Is Out There, In The World, Right Now
Perhaps you've seen me mentioning the ReWired Tales project on Twitter, G+, or Tumblr already — I hope you have! — and you've thought you'd get around to them. Here's another reason to get around to them: the March tale, called "War Stars," is now available!
Here's what the story is about… sort of:
Not long from now, in a war-torn city, a journalist embedded with a military force confronts a contrast between the wars we idolize and the wars we fight. Stranded in a blasted metropolis, the journalist travels with her wounded unit on a dangerous mission to use next-generation weaponry and support robots to locate and eliminate a hidden rebel base. But in the fog of war, the story we want isn't always the story we get.
Here's what the story is about, in another way:
I sat down with the March issue of Wired magazine to seek out inspiration for the next ReWired tale and discovered the issue had a lot to say about Star Wars, in one section, and things to say about the art of war, in another section. Those combined to inspire "War Stars," a story that's about our future as much as it's about inspiration and awareness. But, of course, I know more about Star Wars than I do about actual warfare, and maybe that'll be obvious as you wade into this tale. I've intentionally (and maybe, in some places, accidentally) hidden quite a few little references and allusions into this story — some are obvious, some are meaningful, and some are different combinations of obvious and meaningful. This is a playful tale.
(The cover is drab, I know. I'll talk about why that is in another post.)
Once you've read the new story, I'd love to hear what you think of it — and which allusions you found in the text. Sound off in the comments?
You can find the new story, "War Stars," up at DriveThruFiction and at Amazon for about one dollar at each venue. That dollar gets you the story for the Kindle at Amazon and it gets you a ZIP file containing the story in a few ebook formats at DriveThru.
Want a quick peek at the story itself?

Markets have been trying for months to figure out whether China's love affair with luxury may be cooling.
In a rich-man's version of the "billion consumers" fantasy, luxury companies have been saying for months that China is cranking out millionaires faster than Foxconn is cranking out iPhones. All of those millionaires, they reason, need handbags, Rolexes and Ferraris.
But the earnings numbers from luxury companies tell a different story. As you can see from the chart below, produced by ISI Group, the growth of luxury revenue from China and Asia have been going in one direction – down.
The chart looks at revenues for a basket of companies that includes Tiffany, LVMH, Richemont, Prada, Burberry, Ferragamo, Hermes and a host of other companies both at the top, bottom and middle of the luxury spectrum.
It shows that luxury revenue growth topped 20 percent in each quarter for the past three years – until the second quarter of 2012. In the second quarter it fell to around 17 percent – the lowest growth since 2009. (Read more: Luxury Boom Slows in China)
Revenue growth was rising for two years straight, but started falling in last year's third quarter.
What's happening?
ISI points to a few possible causes. First, the China stock market is down 35 percent and Chinese real-estate prices are falling. Those are the two main wealth engines in China.
But ISI points to another, less noticed warning sign. Chinese millionaires, it says, may be overspending.
The average millionaire in China spends $22,214 a year on luxury goods (including tourism).
That's more than twice as much as the average millionaire in Europe or the United States spends on luxury ($10,612 in Europe and $9,431. Millionaires here are defined as people with net worths of $1 million.)
Luxury companies might look at the spending number and see great opportunity in China. Yet the high spend rate may also be a sign of unsustainable burn rates by the Chinese affluent, with women buying 5 to 6 Louis Vuitton bags at a time. (Read more: Ferrari Crashes Spark Rage in Asia)
It's too early to write off China's luxury growth. But after the feverish run-up in 2010 and 2011, a new era of austerity among the new Ka Ching dynasty might be expected. Perhaps they'll have to cut down to just two or three Vuitton bags at a time.

Corporate SOPA opponents approve of CISPAApril 12, 2012: 3:43 PM ET
The new bill is being called "the new SOPA." This time, Internet companies are onboard.
FORTUNE -- Those who believed that the tech industry opposed the now-"dead" anti-piracy bills SOPA and PIPA purely because they made for bad law might be confused by the industry's backing of a new law, CISPA, that's being called "the new SOPA." It isn't quite that, however. Big Tech is all for it. That's because, unlike SOPA and PIPA, it absolves Internet companies ot any responsibility or liability in the battle against Internet "security threats."
The problem with CISPA -- the Cyberintelligence Sharing and Protection Act -- is that it could be interpreted in such a way that just about any online activity, including alleged piracy, could be considered a security threat. It must be noted that, unlike under SOPA or PIPA, Internet companies can refuse requests for information -- compliance is voluntary.
MORE: Is this SOPA, the sequel?
The usual suspects oppose the bill: the Center for Democracy and Technology, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and lots of people on social media sites. Their main problem is that the bill allows companies to share data with each other, as well as with the government, and there's no real limit on what kinds of data they can share, or on what they can do with it.
But it might be much more difficult for opponents this time, writes PC Magazine's Fahmida Y. Rashid, because "the battle against CISPA is dramatically different from what happened with SOPA and PIPA. This time, a lot of the corporations are not on their side." Among the companies that have explicitly expressed their support for the bill: Microsoft (MSFT), Facebook, AT&T (T), Intel (INTC), and Verizon (VZ).
MORE: What Google learned from SOPA
Some of those companies, particularly Facebook, were vehemently opposed to SOPA and PIPA. Why then the support for a bill that, while different, nonetheless runs afoul of some of the same basic tenets the company upheld in that debate? Several reasons, according to ZDNet's Emil Protalisnki. Among the chief ones, he writes, is that CISPA "takes the pressure of regulating users off the company. While SOPA required private companies to monitor, and held them responsible for, what their users were doing, CISPA is written so the government is responsible."
Andrew Couts of Digital Trends believes that although tech- and privacy-minded folk online are up in arms, opposition might not spread to the population at large in the same way opposition to SOPA and PIPA did. Those bills threatened the very operation of the Internet, and were much bigger, or at least more direct, threats to free speech. Here, the issue is more about data privacy. "I just don't see every Jack, Jill, and John getting their knickers in a knot over something that sounds like what they do on a regular basis — share information — or which many people believe is already happening," Couts writes.

"I attributed my fatigue to being overweight and over 50 years old. When I found out I had an irregular heartbeat, I did my research. I learned there was an electrophysiologist at Medical Center of the Rockies, Dr. Robert Kiser, who had a great reputation. I met him and we connected. I quickly learned that the best heart care is right here in northern Colorado. I decided to have the procedure done here and have no regrets.
"Today, I'm active again and my weight is down. The doctors have taken me off of my heart and diabetes medication because I no longer need it. My quality of life is so much better and the constant worry about my heart is gone. Now I have more energy to do the things I love - like landscape around my new home."
A former Penn State football player and local business and real estate entrepreneur, Brian was feeling tired all the time. Massive headaches brought him to the Poudre Valley Hospital emergency room, where he learned he was having a stroke.
During an appointment with his family doctor several months later, it was discovered that Brian was experiencing atrial fibrillation (A-fib), a condition that causes irregular electrical signals to shock the upper chambers of the heart, making it quickly and randomly contract. People in A-fib often don't feel symptoms. It is, however, directly linked to stroke.
Brian went to see Dr. Thomas Downs at Medical Center of the Rockies, where he was told he was a candidate for an ablation procedure that would help regulate his heart.
University of Colorado Health employees dedicate themselves to providing patients and other customers with world-class care and service. Outside organizations recognize that, calling University of Colorado Health's hospitals some of the best in Colorado and even the best in the nation. Some of those accolades are listed below:

Sprinkler head wear and get a larger diameter thereby putting out more gpm than originally rated, you may add to the zones, and it's nice to have a reserve so you're not always maxed out. Something like have a little more HP in you car than you really need. Some of the pump experts might have some additional thoughts.

Registrars committed to improvements
In recent weeks, there have been many news reports of problems associated with voting in the Nov. 6 election. The word "archaic" has been bandied about, along with accounts of ong lines in West Hartford, Hartford and Manchester. In many stories, registrars of voters are taking the brunt of the criticism.
The "other side" of the story is not being told. In the vast majority of polling places in the vast majority of towns, the election went smoothly, with fast-moving lines, cheerful service by poll workers, and swift reporting of results at the end of the night. Large cities such as Bridgeport, Stamford and Norwalk handled the high voter turnout with no major problems.

With no opera earlier than Mozart on next season's Lyric Opera schedule, and with the new regime at Chicago Opera Theater focusing on 20th century rarities, the Haymarket Opera Company has baroque opera all to itself, now and for the foreseeable future.
The lively and stylish production of Henry Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas," which concluded the troupe's second full season over the weekend at the cabaret-style Mayne Stage in the Rogers Park neighborhood, proved how much can be accomplished when historically informed principles are imaginatively applied to this select repertory.
The two sold-out performances (I caught the second on Saturday) again showed how creatively general director Craig Trompeter's "period opera" ensemble uses the intimate space to suit the baroque chamber operas the company has made its stock in trade. Much effort was made across the board to ensure scholarly authenticity, yet never did a sense of quaint exhumation come between the musicians and the enthusiastic audience.
Purcell's version of the tragic love affair of the Trojan warrior Aeneas and Dido, queen of Carthage, is the first great English opera. But because the score that has come down to us is incomplete, performers are left to flesh out the torso as they see fit, or leave it as is.
Trompeter and friends went all out to turn an opera that lasts less than an hour into a full evening's entertainment, supplying the missing prologue (made up of miscellaneous Purcell songs, duets and instrumental pieces), a witches' chorus and some dances. This gave the singers more to do and even supplied a kind of back story for the protagonists: Before the opera proper began, Dido and Aeneas danced a courtship duet accompanied by Michael Leopold's baroque guitar.
What was truly distinctive about this "Dido" was the integration of carefully researched baroque choreography (by Sarah Edgar), movement and gesture (by stage director Ellen Hargis), choral singing, period costumes and sets into the presentation. Everything was of a piece, and every element worked to support the music. Purcell's chamber opera gained immediacy from being done in a venue that seats no more than 230.
Decked out in period wigs and Meriem Bahri's richly textured costumes, the dozen cast members looked as if they had stepped out of 17th century English paintings. A great deal of baroque-style dance was woven into the action: The singers glided elegantly through decorous courtly dances and earthier rustic choreography, apparently finding the postage-stamp-sized stage no hindrance. The painted, revolving panels of David Mayernik's period-style decor lent additional authenticity and eye-appeal.
Mayne Stage has no orchestra pit, so the 11 musicians, led by Trompeter from the cello, had to be tucked away at the side of the stage. The cellist-conductor led a crisp, vital performance, bringing out the piquant chromaticism and dissonances in Purcell's compact score.
The vocal performers all sang, danced and acted admirably.
Kimberly McCord was a regal presence as Dido, her soprano rich and alluring in the soft colorings of its middle and lower registers, lustrous and even in tonal emission at the top. The queen's famous dying lament, "When I am laid in earth," uttered by the abandoned Dido after stabbing herself with her lover's dagger, was affectingly sung.
Bass-baritone Peter van de Graaff may lack the optimum vocal agility for Aeneas' sometimes florid music, but he sang strongly and did what he could to breathe dramatic credibility into the sketchily drawn hero. Kelly Ballou made an engaging Belinda, and the rest of the 12-member cast threw themselves into their various duties (as solo singers, choristers and dancing sailors, shepherds and shepherdesses) with panache.
Haymarket Opera's next production will be Georg Philipp Telemann's comic opera "Pimpinone," to be given Oct. 4 and 5 at Mayne Stage; haymarketopera.org.

Camaro White Book, 1967-2011
Since 1985... The first Camaro White Book was published in 1985. New editions followed in 1987, 1993, 1997, and 2002. We thought that last one would be the last one. But Camaro came back and now the White Book has too. Just as the car has evolved, so has the book. Camaro White Books are still pocket-sized, but with thousands of Camaro facts, options and option codes, exterior and interior colors and codes, production figures, engine block and head casting numbers, original "window sticker" prices, and a compilation of the details that make each model unique. All this is presented year-by-year...tons of information in an accessible format. White Books have never been compilations of someone else's inaccurate, incomplete charts. These are start from scratch, thoroughly researched, beautifully presented. And the latest 1967-2011 edition is far and away the best yet.
Better than ever The latest Camaro White Book has been resized by adding nearly an inch to its height. The extra space permitted the addition of more data for every model year. For starters, the book now contains V8 engine block and head casting numbers for every Camaro from 1967 through 2011. Alan Colvin, author of the superb Chevrolet by the Numbers books researched and provided this data. To our knowledge, no other single book has attempted this. Historical context has been added by including the thoughts of writers "back in the day." Complete 2010 data is presented including production volumes for options and colors. Introductory material for 2011 is covered, including option descriptions and pricing breakdowns for coupes and convertibles. Simply put, no other Camaro book comes close. Authenticity No one's perfect, but after a quarter century of attention to detail, the Camaro White Book has become the Camaro enthusiast's go-to reference. Next time you're at a Camaro event, look what's stuffed into the back pockets of the pros. Specs 160 pages, soft bound, 4.375" x 10" vertical, 64 b/w photos, uncountable facts & figures.

Top 10 Prospects
Carolina Hurricanes
by Corey Pronman
Full list of NHL Organizational Rankings
The Carolina Hurricanes Top 10 Prospects
1. Ryan Murphy, Defense
2. Zac Dalpe, Center
3. Zach Boychuk, Right Wing
4. Justin Faulk, Defense
5. Brian Dumoulin, Defense
6. Drayson Bowman, Left Wing
7. Chris Terry, Left Wing
8. Victor Rask, Center
9. Justin Shugg, Right Wing
10. Danny Biega, Defense
Organizational Ranking: 6th
System Overview: Carolina has steadily built one of the stronger systems in the league even considering the quick graduation of 2010 first round pick and Calder winner Jeff Skinner. Zac Dalpe, Zach Boychuk, Drayson Bowman and Chris Terry may have been the best collection of AHL forwards in the league while defensemen Justin Faulk and Brian Dumoulin impressed a fair amount in college.
The additions of Ryan Murphy and Victor Rask were huge for this already excellent system, as they are two top-end talents who could be significant pieces if they hit. This system overall looks primed to churn out a ton of NHL regulars over the next few years despite already seeing players like Jerome Samson and Jeff Skinner move on. Frankly, the only thing holding back these prospects will be space at the top level. This isn't a system to dream on though, as there are many prospects that are ready to produce now and if not, they will be very soon.
1. Ryan Murphy, Defense
Date of birth: 03/31/1993
Age: 18
Height: 5'11''
Weight: 166
Shoots: Right
Statistics: 63 GP, 26 G, 79 P (Kitchener-OHL)
Acquired: First round, 12th overall in 2011 by Carolina
The Good: It's hard to start a write-up of Ryan Murphy without headlining his skating ability, as that tool is really what drives his value so much. It's a near-elite level tool and there is so much to like about how Ryan Murphy skates between his top speed, acceleration, lateral movement and edge control. He can get to top speed within a few strides that he generates off quick legs and that top speed is very dangerous to the point where he will make NHL defenders back up an extra few steps to keep him in front of them. Murphy moves well from a standstill and can make people miss by out-angling them and being elusive. Murphy also does not shy from using his best weapon, frequently taking the puck out from behind his net and taking it deep or skating around defenders in the offensive zone. Murphy's puck skills are plus, with his ability to handle the puck at high speed being very good. His passes are crisp and accurate with his distribution skills being quite very good and for a player commonly labeled a puck-rusher, he sees the ice at a high level too. That is a good sign as likely when he gets to the pro game, he will likely be coached into toning down some of his superman acts with the puck and having the ability to be an above-average playmaker will help his power play value. When Murphy has the puck, he has the look of a unique player in how he moves around, makes people miss, and how he is aware of his surroundings. His shot is decent, and when he gets a full wind-up he can put some fine velocity on it.
The Bad: The physical game is the biggest question mark on Murphy and how he'll handle that aspect at the top level is the biggest deterrent to his draft value. To his credit, Murphy isn't afraid of contact but there are several times at the junior level where bigger players would simply outmatch him. His defensive game has come a ways since last year as well. While I wouldn't say his positioning is good, it's decent for a junior player but still grades as below-average. The lack of physical ability is the obvious liability going forward. He isn't completely shy from playing physical but there is nothing that stands out in that regard and how he builds his body in the coming years will be a significant key to his pro career and certainly a risk for the Hurricanes. Murphy can also get overzealous when trying to create offense and do too much on the ice, but he doesn't turn the puck over as much as someone with that issue usually does.
Projection: An all-star level defenseman ceiling, but there is also a lot of uncertainty to that projection and could end up topping out as a below-average second to above-average third pairing defender.
2. Zac Dalpe, Center
Date of birth: 11/01/1989
Age: 21
Height: 6'1''
Weight: 195
Shoots: Right
Statistics: 61 GP, 23 G, 57 P (Charlotte-AHL)
Acquired: Second round, 45th overall in 2008 by Carolina
The Good: Dalpe is an above-average skater with a refined stride that lets him pick up speed well and he can really fly when he gets going. He's well-conditioned and has a notable work ethic that lets him take full advantage of how much ice he can cover on a shift-to-shift basis. He's decent with the puck, though he isn't really much of a dangler but will flash a beyond average pass or move on occasion. Dalpe contributes in the possession game by bringing the puck up and into the zone and then reverting to the sideboards and the cycle game to maintain it. He's got decent shot mechanics and will be able to score some goals from beyond the high percentage areas. Dalpe has pro-level strength and does fine in the physical areas and can stay tight on his assignments. He works hard and has shown commitment to improving his defensive flaws.
The Bad: He's still a little lean in regards to his frame and despite the fact that his muscle mass is fine, he can get boxed out along the wall by players with above-average size. Dalpe's defensive game has come a ways and while I think he can stay at center and play fine in that regards with a little more development, some sources question whether or not he may need to move off to the wing. He also needs to continue to work on his faceoffs.
Projection: An above-average second line center, but likely ends up an average second line center or winger.
3. Zach Boychuk, Right Wing
Date of birth: 10/04/1989
Age: 21
Height: 5'10''
Weight: 188
Shoots: Left
Statistics: 60 GP, 22 G, 65 P (Charlotte-AHL)
Acquired: First round, 14th overall in 2008 by Carolina
The Good: Boychuk is an above-average skater whose top speed might flash solid-average, but is a really agile and shifty skater whose first few steps and lateral quickness are very desirable traits. His puck skills are above-average to plus as seen in his good hand-eye coordination and ability to do a lot of things with the puck in open ice. He's able to deliver accurate and crisp passes off a set-up or deliver on one-touches. Boychuk has decent shot mechanics and can project as a notable but not above-average goal-scorer. His work ethic off the ice has paid dividends and sources say he's become a more consistent threat on a shift-to-shift basis in his second minor pro season.
The Bad: Boychuk still has a wiry frame that lacks strength. As a player who in a few months will turn 22, the lack of physical development is somewhat concerning especially for a smaller player. It's hard to see him as anything beyond a fringe physical player in the NHL and possibly a true perimeter player despite the fact he isn't shy from engaging. His defensive game still needs to come a ways too and there are times he just doesn't show the same dedication to that side of the puck as he does offensively.
Projection: His upside is that of a first line winger, but chances are very remote that reaches that ceiling. He has the skills to definitely project onto a second line, but may need to get a lot of offensive zone starts.
4. Justin Faulk, Defense
Date of birth: 03/20/1992
Age: 19
Height: 5'11''
Weight: 200
Shoots: Right
Statistics: 39 GP, 8 G, 33 P (Minnesota-Duluth-WCHA)
Acquired: Second round, 37th overall in 2010 by Carolina
The Good: Faulk is a very offensively-gifted defender with multiple tools to lean on. He has above-average puck skills and is a player who starts a lot of scoring plays. Faulk shows creativity with the puck and can make defenders miss. He makes fine distributions and he's able to be great power play quarterback with his good lateral mobility and hands. What's more, that's not even his best power play asset as he's a true plus shooter who can just wire cannons from the point. He's not a chucker though and is selective about his shot unless the lane is there. Being a sub-6'0" defenseman is usually a worry but Faulk shows a notable amount of strength relative to his size and age. He's able to protect the puck at a decent level and is not a slouch in battles. His defensive game has progressed since last season to a decent level and there is much less reason to believe that he will need to be protected usage-wise if he continues to develop in that area. His overall hockey sense is above-average and he appropriately times his conservative and aggressive reads on and off the puck. Faulk has top-end offensive potential, and NHL sources believe he can easily end up on a first power play unit.
The Bad: His skating tool is decent in a straight-line but the rest of the tool could use some fine-tuning, and I'm not sure I'd grade the overall tool as average and he could be more mobile for his size. His grit and strength for his size is good, but he needs to continue putting on as much muscle as possible to do well in the pro game next season. His defensive game has progressed well, even on some games flashing above-average, but he does have occasional lapses and with his size and mobility, he needs to do a better job of keeping faster forwards in front of him.
Projection: An above-average second pairing defenseman in a perfect world, but he likely projects as more in the average variety. No matter how his overall game progresses, as long as he finds a role in the league, he will line up on a first power play unit and produce top-tier counting numbers.
5. Brian Dumoulin, Defense
Date of birth: 09/06/1991
Age: 19
Height: 6'4''
Weight: 210
Shoots: Left
Statistics: 37 GP, 3 G, 33 P (Boston College-Hockey East)
Acquired: Second round, 51st overall in 2009 by Carolina
The Good: Dumoulin has really emerged since he entered the college game and especially this year as a well above-average defensive prospect. He's a big defenseman who projects to be a plus physical player at the top level. He isn't an extremely tough player, but does the important things well physically such as winning battles, showing good strength on the puck in battles, separating players off puck in one-on-one's and closing gaps with his body well. He's a very skilled puck-mover for a man his size, showing very notable puck work and the ability to make people miss with his hands on the rush and he can move the puck around at an above-average level. His power play goal-scoring rate at Boston College was not an illusion of playing on a top program, as Dumoulin has legit offensive upside.
The Bad: Dumoulin is a below-average skater and while it's okay for a man his size, he isn't exactly a player who will be able to rush the puck in the NHL like he's been able to do at other levels. His mobility is fine and he stays with his checks relatively well when he gives the appropriate gaps. He is decent defensively, but has some fine-tuning to do in regards to some of his decisions and can be victim of ill-advised turnovers. He still has room to fill out, and while he has fine strength, he has the potential to be much stronger with his frame.
Projection: An above-average second pairing defenseman, but is a safe enough projection to be a below-average second to above-average third pairing defender.
6. Drayson Bowman, Left Wing
Date of birth: 03/08/1989
Age: 22
Height: 6'0''
Weight: 190
Shoots: Left
Statistics: 51 GP, 12 G, 30 P (Charlotte-AHL)
Acquired: Third round, 72nd overall in 2008 by Carolina
The Good: Bowman is a solid to above-average skater who impresses with his mobility and has the speed to be a decent puck rusher. He has solid puck skills and can handle the puck well, showing good coordination in tight and he can be a notable distributor. Bowman has a solid release and has the shot tool to put up good goal numbers even though he's gone two seasons without putting up 20 in the AHL. He has a goal-scorer's mentality in his positional play and displays good awareness hovering around the offensive zone. His defensive game is decent as well. Bowman didn't produce as expected in Charlotte but NHL sources described him as a player who got a ton of chances but just didn't finish so his numbers could partially be attributed to poor luck.
The Bad: Bowman still needs a little work on his physical game, as it's not below-average but a little more bulk wouldn't hurt. While his offensive awareness is good in his position play, he could make better decisions with the puck. There isn't much to nitpick but Bowman absolutely has to take his game to the next level in his third professional season as a 22 year old.
Projection: Possibly a below-average two-way second line winger, but it's looking like he'll end up as a third line player.
7. Chris Terry, Left Wing
Date of birth: 04/07/1989
Age: 22
Height: 5'10''
Weight: 197
Shoots: Left
Statistics: 80 GP, 34 G, 64 P (Charlotte-AHL)
Acquired: Fifth round, 132nd overall in 2007 by Carolina
The Good: Terry is an underrated scorer who has some solid skills. He has the ability to handle the puck at a decent level in tight, and he can make solid distributions. Terry is an above-average scorer who has almost always found ways to rack up impressive goal numbers with a shot that can score from way out. He's a player who goes to the net well and picks up numerous cheap markers. He can sometimes get too zealous with his shots when he gets a lane, but for the most part his hockey sense is above-average and an aspect of his game scouts rave about. Terry has a desirable work ethic and despite his size is not afraid to go into the corners for pucks or take a hit to make a play. He's also made good strides in improving his defensive game to the point where it is decent. Terry is listed as a winger, but in Charlotte I have also seen him line up at center.
The Bad: Terry is a diminutive player who despite all his efforts will probably top out as a fringe physical player. His skating tool has improved to the point where he's decent at it, but lacks that above-average gear smaller forwards usually need. His conditioning needs to improve as well.
Projection: Potenitally an average third line forward who can spot on the power play but who safely projects on a bottom-six in some capacity.
8. Victor Rask, Center
Date of birth: 03/01/1993
Age: 18
Height: 6'2''
Weight: 194
Shoots: Left
Statistics: 37 GP, 5 G, 11 P (Leksand-Allsvenskan)
Acquired: Second round, 42nd overall in 2011 by Carolina
The Good: Victor Rask is a true plus passer and when he's on his game he has the ability to execute dishes that leave observers in awe. Rask is a solid to above-average puck protector who uses his 6'2", 200 lb. frame well to box defenders out and when he's in open space in the offensive zone, it's very hard to get the puck off him. His stick-handling is above-average, and while there are times where he may not look the most coordinated with the puck, he has the ability to make quick moves, can bring it up on the rush and make multiple players miss. Despite the notable frame, he excels on the perimeter when he can look his options down and has time to work with. He projects as an average physical player at the next level, but at the junior level he definitely was hard to handle for the opposition at times and bounced off checks rather easily and looked decent when battling for loose pucks. Rask's defensive is game is okay, and I have seen him kill penalties with moderate effectiveness.
The Bad: Rask's skating is fringe, his feet are heavy and the stride mechanics don't look great, but he does flash notable agility. While Rask is a tremendous passer in terms of ability, I'm not sold on the vision and the offensive awareness looks below-average, with Rask at times forcing the wrong decision with the puck or simply not seeing the ice well.
Projection: He could be an above-average second line center, but there are a lot of question marks on Rask that could leave him ending up as an average bottom-six player.
9. Justin Shugg, Right Wing
Date of birth: 12/24/1991
Age: 19
Height: 5'11''
Weight: 185
Shoots: Right
Statistics: 66 GP, 41 G, 86 P (Mississauga-OHL)
Acquired: Fourth round, 105th overall in 2010 by Carolina
The Good: Shugg has solid to above-average puck skills, and while he will on occasion show a good move with the puck, his game isn't of the flashy variety. He moves the puck around fine showing a solid distribution game and but is more of a give-and-go passer as opposed to being a hold-and-control playmaker. Despite these offensive skills, Shugg prefers playing a hard-nosed game and trying to get open for scoring chances. His shot is his best tool and his 80 goals over the last two OHL seasons are just some proof of his finishing ability and a shot that just explodes off his stick. Shugg shows a notable work ethic and isn't afraid to go into the corners and get his nose dirty. He has lined up at wing and center this year and looked effective in both roles.
The Bad: Shugg's skating is below-average and maybe touches average speed in a straight line, but for a sub-6'0" player, it doesn't really suffice. His frame is lean and barring a great summer in regards to bulking up he likely is going to have an adjustment period physically in the pro game but it should be noted at the junior level his strength looked above-average. Shugg's conditioning as well as his defensive game could use a little work.
Projection: Ideally, a third line forward who can spot on the power play. There's a decent chance he flat out doesn't make it, too.
10. Danny Biega, Defense
Date of birth: 10/18/1991
Age: 19
Height: 6'0''
Weight: 205
Shoots: Right
Statistics: 34 GP, 11 G, 30 P (Harvard University-ECAC)
Acquired: Third round, 67th overall in 2010 by Carolina
The Good: Biega is a solid puck-mover who has a conservative feel to his game, yet he efficiently and effectively gets the puck up the ice with good offensive instincts. He isn't a true rusher, but has decent mobility and on occasion will join the attack. He's not an above-average skater but he has good speed and fine agility and could still use some work on his first few steps. Biega has slightly below-average size for a defenseman, but he has notably above-average strength and can win his fair share of battles while effectively fending off anyone who tries to check him. He shows a good work ethic and his conditioning is quite good for a college player.
The Bad: Biega's decision-making is quite inconsistent and there are nights where his two-way game is spot on and he looks like a top defense prospect, and then there are other nights when he's making poor pinches and not covering his assignments well and will be a liability. He also tends to be more of a stick-checker as opposed to taking the body when he should.
Projection: He could be an above-average third pairing defenseman, but I could see him being pressed to make the league if his development doesn't go as planned.
The Sleeper: Michal Jordan, the Canes fourth round pick in 2008, has improved quite a bit in his first professional season with his above-average hockey sense and a decent all-around game and could be set to go to the next level in 2012.
Extra Notes:
Mark Alt steadily worked his way into Minnesota's lineup as a regular on defense in his freshman season and impressed with his plus physical game and good mobility for his size.
Bobby Sanguinetti had hip surgery that cut his season short. If he comes back strong, he does have good offensive tools to his game that could end up translating to being an average pro scorer if the defensive game comes around.
Former first round pick Riley Nash who Carolina acquired from Edmonton was quite underwhelming in his first professional season. He has decent offensive skills, but needs to improve his physical and defensive game to even have a shot.
One scout I talked to referred to Mike Murphy as one of the more underrated goaltending prospects in hockey. Having posted .917 and .919 save percentages in the last two AHL seasons, one NHL source believes he's on the cusp of skyrocketing up the prospect charts soon.

ON THIS PAGE: You will find some basic information about this disease and the parts of the body it may affect. This is the first page of Cancer.Net's Guide to Thymoma. To see other pages, use the colored boxes on the right side of your screen. Think of those boxes as a roadmap to this full guide. Or, click "Next" at the bottom of each page.
Thymoma is a type of cancer that begins in the thymus. Located under the breastbone (also called the sternum), the thymus is a small organ that is part of the lymph system and helps white blood cells develop.
About the lymph system
The lymph system is made up of thin tubes that branch out to all parts of the body. The lymph system carries lymph, a colorless fluid containing lymphocytes (white blood cells). Lymphocytes fight germs in the body. B-lymphocytes (also called B cells) make antibodies to fight bacteria, and T-lymphocytes (also called T cells) kill viruses and foreign cells and trigger the B cells to make antibodies. The thymus is involved in the development of T-lymphocytes.
As part of the lymph system, groups of tiny, bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes are located throughout the body at different sites. Lymph nodes are found in clusters in the abdomen, groin, pelvis, underarms, and neck. In addition to the thymus, other parts of the lymph system include the spleen, which makes lymphocytes and filters blood, and the tonsils, located in the throat.
About thymoma
Cancer begins when normal cells change and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. A tumor can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous, meaning it can spread to other parts of the body).
The thymus contains two main types of cells: epithelial cells and lymphocytes. Thymic epithelial cells are the cells that line the thymus, and this is where thymoma and thymic carcinoma start. If lymphocytes become cancerous, they can develop into lymphoma; learn more about Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Rarely, another type of tumor called a carcinoid tumor can develop in the thymus.
Thymoma is generally a slow-growing tumor that does not usually spread outside of the thymus. Occasionally, it can spread to the lining of the lung, called the pleura. Less often, it can spread to other parts of the body.
Thymic carcinoma (see Stages) can also be located only in the thymus, but it is more likely to spread to the lining of the lung and other parts of the body. Thymic carcinoma can also be more difficult to treat.
About 30% of people with thymoma also have a condition called myasthenia gravis. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder caused by antibodies or T-cells that attack molecules, cells, or tissues of the person producing them. The main symptom of myasthenia gravis is fluctuating weakness in various muscles. It may affect any muscle that is under voluntary control, such as those that control eye movements, chewing, swallowing, coughing, and facial expression. Muscles that control breathing and movements of the arms and legs may also be affected in more severe cases. Myasthenia gravis may appear before thymoma is diagnosed or it may develop during or after treatment.
In addition to myasthenia gravis, people with thymoma may also have other syndromes, called paraneoplastic syndromes. Paraneoplastic syndromes include severe low red blood cell count or anemia, called pure red cell aplasia, or low levels of antibodies known as immunoglobulins in the blood, called hypogammaglobulinemia.

Spanish Springs didn't suffer a loss to a Nevada opponent until it locked horns with Reno in a High Desert League doubleheader and dropped the night cap, 7-6. The loss dropped the Cougars' record down to 12-2 overall and 6-1 in Northern D-I action.
Following the loss, Spanish Springs had its second long layoff of at least 10 days between games of the season.
"This year we played up and down. We really never played consistently," SSHS softball coach Jeff Davidson said. "When we played well and got good hitting, pitching and defense, we could play with anybody. We'd have a couple pretty good games and then we'd have a couple games where we didn't play well. We never really found our groove this year.
"I thought those breaks were tough. You start open gym in January. You have tryouts at the end of February. Then you start playing tournaments in March, so you're ready to go for the season. When you have two longs breaks, it kind of changes the routine a little bit. What you try to do in practice to simulate game situations, it's not quite the same as playing games."
The Cougars seemed to get back on track after the second break. Despite a 5-0 pool play loss to Logan (Calif.) at Reed's Easter/Spring Break Tournament, Spanish Springs rolled to three straight shutouts to set up a matchup with Reno in the championship. The Purple and White easily took that game, 10-4.
Spanish Springs followed up the spring break tournament championship with a key league win over Bishop Manogue, keeping it among the league leaders.
However, an 8-2 loss to Damonte Ranch showed the Cougars had some work to do.
But the local squad responded with four consecutive victories, including a 10-0 win over Douglas, which went on to play for the regional championship.
That set up a meeting with cross-town rival Reed. The Raiders entered the Saturday twin bill with a 10-1 league mark but the offense was hit and miss at times, while the Cougars were 9-2 and had issues with their defensive consistency. Their team fielding percentage was .934, down from .946 a year ago.
Those defensive issues reared their ugly head again in Game 2 of the doubleheader. After dropping the opener 7-2, Spanish Springs committed six errors in a 4-3 loss to suffer a sweep.
With no chance at earning the HDL's top seed, the Cougars proceeded to win their final three games and secure the No. 2 seed and a first-round home playoff contest. Spanish Springs took that game, knocking off Manogue 3-2.
That was the only postseason game Spanish Springs won, being eliminated from the playoffs thanks to 9-4 and 3-0 losses to Damonte and Reed, respectively.
Senior Brette Lawrence, who signed to play softball at Villanova, didn't quite put up the numbers that earned her co-Player of the Year honors as a junior. But she was still impressive in leading the Cougs.
Lawrence batted .400 with a team-leading 40 hits. She also led the team with nine doubles and was tied for tops with 25 RBI. In the circle, the left-hander went 15-5 with a 1.59 ERA. She allowed 27 earned runs on 102 hits in 119 innings. Lawrence walked 19 and struck out 128, while limiting opposing hitters to a .219 batting average.
"Brette, first of all, is a very good teammate. She works extremely hard in practice and always has a great attitude," Davidson said. "It's a pleasure of mine to have coached her for the last three years on varsity. When is Brette is playing, you always know what you're going to get. She's going to go out and compete and give it her all every game."
Spanish Springs will have plenty of talent coming back with 10 returners. Junior Sadye Roulund and sophomore Ally Batastini both had solid spring campaigns.
Roulund led the Cougars with a .448 batting average. She also drove in 24 runs.
Like Lawrence, Batastini is a standout two-way player. Batastini hit .387, knocked in 25 RBI and hit a team-high five home runs. She also scored 22 runs of her own. Batastini recorded a 7-3 pitching record with a 2.13 ERA.
"Sadye Roulund led the team in hitting this year. She'll move behind the plate and take over for Sidney (Sinclair)," Davidson said. "Ally Batastini is coming back and she'll be doing a lot of the pitching next year. She hit very well for us this year. We have Bayley Broadwater at short. Basically we have our whole infield coming back and outfield."
Davidson went on to mention Alyx Penrod, Myrissa Prince, Autumn Alexander, Megan Archer, Kayla Arterburn and Amanda Barham as key returners.
