Yankees to give Refsnyder chance at starting second base job in spring training
Rob Refsnyder's chances at the Yankees' starting second base job certainly didn't look too great after the club re-signed Stephen Drew to a one-year/$5-million deal last month, but that doesn't mean they're not still there.
Refsnyder will still get the opportunity to win the role at spring training, general manager Brian Cashman said Friday.
According to Cashman, Refsnyder isn't the Yankees' top choice for the position yet, but will be given time to develop his defensive skills during camp. Refsnyder, 23, is a converted outfielder struggling to adjust to the infield -- something clearly shown by the recurring issues he had with his glove last season.
"We're going to see that develop in spring training," Cashman told WFAN radio.
Refsnyder batted .318/.387/.497 with 14 home runs and 63 RBI in 137 games last year at Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but wasn't nearly as good on the other side of the ball. His fielding percentage at the two levels was just .977, and he committed 12 errors.
Refsnyder will still be considered by the team, though, if Cashman and the Yankees notice improvement.
"The bottom line is, he'll go into camp, and he'll compete, and he'll have a chance to potentially earn a spot on the roster," Cashman said.
Refsnyder is currently viewed as one of the Yankees' top prospects, and was often talked about by New York's fanbase last season when Brian Roberts was in the midst of his slump. Indeed, many wanted to see Refsnyder brought up to replace the weak-hitting Roberts, a plan Cashman didn't support at the time.
Now, however, the GM seems to be thinking differently.
"He has a chance to be a regular offensive second baseman," Cashman, referring to Refsnyder, said.

2015 New York Yankees Minor League Free Agents
When a minor league player spends seven seasons in a major league farm system they must be added to the 40 man roster or they become minor league free agents. None of these players were added before the deadline of January, 15 2015 and were not added to the 40 man roster, like Jose Pirela was this past September, so they became minor league free agents. Here is the list as a reminder as we inch closer and closer to Spring Training 2015:
LHP Jeremy Bleich (27)
SS Ali Castillo (25)
LHP/RHP Pat Venditte (29)
C Kyle Higashioka *signed back* (24)
RHP Joel De La Cruz (25)

Greedy Pinstripes Top 28 Prospects List: #21
Prospects Month is in full swing and we're already up to our 22nd best prospect in the farm system, Slade Heathcott.
Here is the write up from Kyle McDaniel on Heathcott:
Slade Heathcott, CF Video: Heathcott has been on these lists for awhile and seems to move up or down 5-10 spots every year, as he shows flashes of breaking out, then gets injured or doesn't perform as well. He was a huge makeup question out of high school (which you can Google for details) when he signed for $2.2 million in the first round. He's now married and has settled down a lot, but he's having trouble getting over nagging leg injuries, with the most recent being a knee problem that kept him out most of 2014. When he's right, Heathcott is a 65 runner with an above average arm and at least 50 raw power from the left side, so you can see why that's exciting if he's hitting and healthy, though his plate discipline has always been just okay.

Meet A Prospect: Dellin Betances
Dellin Betances was born on March 23, 1988 in Washington Heights, Manhattan in New York. Dellin was born to parents Jamie and Maria Betances after they emigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic. Jamie was a boxer and drives for a car service to support Dellin and his two older brothers and younger sister. The Betances family moved to the Lower East Side of Manhattan when Dell was ten years old where Dellin attended many Yankees games with his family. One of those games he witnessed firsthand at age 10 was David Wells perfect game in 1998 while sitting with the Bleacher Creatures. This, according to Dellin, was the reason that the 6' 9" right hander chose baseball over basketball and forces him to play summer baseball in the Youth Service League. Betances spent his High School years at Grand Street Campus School in Brooklyn, New York and could throw an 85 MPH fastball as a freshmen. By his Junior year in 2005 Betances was up to 90 MPH on the fastball while towering over his competition at 6' 4" on his way to being named an Aflac All-American, the first player from New York City to receive the honor. Betances also played for the Team USA Junior National Team that season. By 2006 Betances was 6' 9" and was rated as the tenth best High School prospect in all the land by SchoolSports.com.
Betances went into the 2006 MLB First Year Players Draft expecting to be chosen in the first round even though he was committed to Vanderbilt University on a full baseball scholarship. His commitment to the Vanderbilt Commodores baseball team as well as him coming out and asking for a high signing bonus made him fall in the draft and fall fast. The New York Yankees finally took a shot on the local kid in the eighth round of the draft giving him a $1 million signing bonus snatching him away from College Baseball. Dellin used that money to buy his family a house in Teaneck, New Jersey as a thank you for all that they did. Great kid with a great makeup, local kid, seems destined to be a great Yankee, no?
Betances spent his 2007 season with the Staten Island Yankees in the New York Penn League as the Yankees third best prospect and made it all the way to Low A with the Charleston Riverdogs by the 2008 season began. Another year and another promotion for Dellin in 2009 as the Yankees fifth best prospect according to Baseball America went up to High A with the Tampa Yankees, although struggling with a 2-5 record and a 5.48 ERA in 11 starts before suffering an elbow injury in early June of that season. Betances had surgery late in 2009 which was a ligament reinforcement procedure and not the dreaded Tommy John surgery that so many power pitchers have to receive. Betances began the 2010 back in Tampa but quickly received a midseason promotion to the AA affiliate the Trenton Thunder pitching so well the Yankees added Dellin to the 40 man roster after the season. Another season another promotion for Dellin as he started the 2011 in AAA with the Scranton Wilkes Barre team. Betances was called up to the majors for the first time that season on September 8, 2011.
Betances had a pitching sessions in the street in front of his Teaneck, New Jersey home with his brother before joining up with the Yankees in Anaheim to face the Angels. Betances and fellow prospect and "Killer B" Andrew Brackman both made their Major League debuts on September 22, 2011 and Betances only saw one other appearance for the Yankees that season. Betances was sent back down to AAA for the 2012 season and after struggling in the rotation the Yankees moved Betances to the bullpen on May 10, 2013. Betances was brought up to the majors when Ivan Nova went down last season with an injury but was used very little and sent back down when Nova came off the disabled list in May. Betances pitched to a 1.46 ERA with 63 strikeouts in 49.1 IP as a reliever in AAA and was recalled back to New York on August 11, 2013. Betances spent four days with the big league club before being sent back down on August 15 and brought back as a September call up on September 1st. Betances was seldom used for whatever reason and spent most of September sitting on the bench rather than gaining valuable experience. Most of that may have been the fact the Yankees were in a dog fight for the second Wild Card.
Dellin absolutely went off during the 2014 season setting the strikeout record for a Yankees reliever in a single season, passing Mariano Rivera, and may have had the torch passed to him from David Robertson as the closer in 2015.

Looking at the 2015 Draft: 21st Best Prospect
Continuing our look at the 2015 MLB First Year Players Draft we take a look at the #21 ranked prospect expected to enter the draft. As always we will include the mini scouting report from MLB.com as we introduce the #21 prospect, Riley Ferrell. Ferrell is a RHP and Junior from TCU.
Here is the write up from MLB.com:
Scouting grades: Fastball: 70 | Slider: 65 | Changeup: 40 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50
TCU produced the first player from the 2014 Draft to reach the big leagues -- Brandon Finnegan, who became the first player ever to appear in the College World Series and the World Series in the same year -- and could do the same again in 2015. Ferrell projects to go about where Finnegan did, 17th overall, and could rush to the Majors if his pro team uses him as a reliever.
Ferrell put up crazy numbers in that role as a sophomore, posting a 0.79 ERA with a school-record 15 saves, a .132 opponent average and 70 strikeouts in 45 1/3 innings. He devastated opponents with a 94-96 mph fastball that reached 98 and a mid-80s slider.
The Horned Frogs plan on using Ferrell as a starter in 2015, a role change that could enhance his Draft status if he pulls it off. It remains to be seen if he can, because he lacks size and a smooth delivery. He'll also have to develop a changeup, which he didn't need as a closer, and improve his command.

Tanaka & Betances Baseball America's All Rookie Team
Baseball America has been naming their Top 20 prospects from each of the minor league league's this offseason and this weekend announced their All Rookie squad. Two members of the New York Yankees made the cut as Masahiro Tanaka was named as one of the five starting pitchers and Dellin Betances was named as the only relief pitcher on the team.
Here is the write up for Tanaka:
"The Yankees' $155 million import pitched like a Cy Young Award winner in the first half, going 11-3, 2.10 and leading the AL in wins and ERA, but an elbow injury scuttled his second half and leaves his 2015 season in doubt after a pair of lackluster September starts … he proved he can pitch like an ace, health permitting, in both Japan and the U.S."

This Day In New York Yankees History 2/8: Johnny D...


A nonprofit theater company on Friday purchased one of the last independently owned Broadway houses, promising to bring more plays by living American playwrights to an industry dominated by musicals, movie adaptations and British imports.
Second Stage, an Off Broadway company since its founding in 1979, said it had paid just under $25 million to purchase the Helen Hayes Theater from Martin Markinson and Jeffrey Tick, settling litigation between the nonprofit and the theater owners over whether the long-planned sale would proceed. Second Stage hopes to begin producing shows in the Broadway theater during the 2017-18 season.
Carole Rothman, the artistic director of Second Stage, said the theater would be used for plays by contemporary American writers, with a particular emphasis on works by women and minority members. She said having a Broadway stage should enable the company to pay higher salaries to writers and actors, to run shows for a longer period of time, and to attract a wider audience.
Mr. Markinson, who has been an owner of the Hayes since 1979, said that, at age 83, he was ready to move on.
The Helen Hayes, which has been declared a landmark, is the smallest of today's Broadway theaters, with just 597 seats. Called "The Little Theater" when it opened in 1912, it has been renamed several times, and will almost certainly be renamed again — Second Stage hopes to raise money by selling the naming rights.
The theater, which is on West 44th Street, will become the sixth Broadway house owned or operated by a nonprofit organization. Lincoln Center Theater and the Manhattan Theater Club each has one Broadway theater, and the Roundabout Theater Company has three; the other 34 Broadway theaters are owned by for-profit companies.
Second Stage's goals for the theater mark a return to the building's roots: Winthrop Ames, the producer who constructed the theater, wanted it to be "an intimate house for the production of noncommercial plays that were too risky to stage in large Broadway theaters," according to Playbill's history of the structure.
Second Stage will be the smallest nonprofit to operate a Broadway theater. The company, with about 6,000 subscribers, currently produces six shows a year with an annual budget of $8 million; the budget would probably double with the addition of a Broadway theater. Second Stage was home to Off Broadway productions of "Next to Normal" and "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," both of which transferred to Broadway; the theater's next show is "The Way We Get By," a world premiere by Neil LaBute.
Programming and filling the new theater will be a stretch for Second Stage. Producing on Broadway is considerably more costly than producing Off Broadway, and attracting larger audiences is a challenge: Broadway tickets are expensive, and the audiences are increasingly made up of tourists drawn to familiar titles and celebrity actors.
"It's heavy lifting," said Lynne Meadow, artistic director of the Manhattan Theater Club, a nonprofit which owns the Samuel J. Friedman Theater on Broadway. "But Second Stage is a wonderful theater, and more activity begets more activity.
Second Stage officials said they expected to spend a total of $58 million on the project, of which they have raised about 70 percent, according to the company's executive director, Casey Reitz. The money will pay not only for the purchase of the building, but also for renovations and upgrades, an operating reserve and an undisclosed amount to settle the dispute with the owners over a delay in completion of the sale.
Ms. Rothman said that, in the short term, she hoped to rent out the theater to raise money while Second Stage completes the planning and permitting of its renovations, which are to be designed by David Rockwell, an architect much praised for his theatrical work. Second Stage hopes to begin renovations next year.
Ms. Rothman said that she expected the theater would sharply discount some of its seats in an effort to diversify its audiences, and said it would also seek foundation support.
The purchase has been in the works since 2007. Second Stage announced its intention to buy the building in 2008, but the sale was delayed for multiple reasons, including the unexpected success of "Rock of Ages," which closed in January after nearly four years in the Helen Hayes. Earlier this year, as "Rock of Ages" closed, Second Stage sought an extension to complete its financing of the purchase; the building's owners sought money as compensation, Second Stage sued, and a judge asked the two sides to settle the dispute, leading to the closing.
Second Stage notified its board of the sale by email late Friday, and it was first reported by Deadline.com.
Second Stage plans to continue producing theater in two Off Broadway venues that it currently leases, a 296-seat theater on 43d Street, and a 108-seat theater on 76th Street. But Ms. Rothman said owning a theater would give the company greater stability; its lease on 43d Street expires in 2021.

CPAs Becoming More Familiar With IFRS, Many Want More Time
Accounting & Reporting
International Financial Reporting Standards
FASB Financial Accounting & Reporting
CPAs hold mixed views on the SEC's proposed timeline for the adoption of IFRS by U.S. public companies, according to an AICPA survey.
Asked whether they think the timeline, which would require IFRS adoption for public companies starting in 2014, should be changed, 47% of CPA respondents said it should be delayed. Twenty-two percent said the proposed timeline is a good one. Six percent said it should be accelerated. The remaining respondents were unsure.
CPAs gained greater basic familiarity with IFRS over the past six months, according to the survey. Only 22% said they had "no knowledge" of IFRS, an 8 percentage point drop from 30% who had no knowledge in September. Forty-two percent said they already have basic knowledge and 24% have some knowledge of IFRS.
Familiarity with IFRS and recognition of a need to learn advanced principles of international accounting was higher among those CPAs working for foreign-owned private companies. Within this group, 37% said they are ready to adopt IFRS now and 13% said they are actively preparing to adopt IFRS.

The indigenous breed has its name from a valley of the river Enns. According to scientific publications their origin can be traced back to ancient celtic cattle. In the 18th and 19th century they were quite popular in the regions around Styria, Upper Austria and Lower Austria. They were known for their meat quality (especially the marbling) and were even exported to London at those times.
But they have been replaced by other, mostly bigger and sturdier cattle (like the Murbodner and Pinzgauer) and Ennstal pied cattle were only kept in two Styrian districts (Murau and Liezen). Later most of the Ennstal pied cattle were crossed with Simmental. In the 1990ies only 4 non-related lines existed. They were the foundation of the conservation program, which started in 1992 with only about 20 cattle. The population increased over the years up to 400 cattle, but they are still considered as highly endangered breed.
The breed is small to middle framed and rather fine-boned. Therefore they are especially suited for mountain regions. They are mainly white colored with reddish-brown spots on the upper legs, chest and flank.

DVD Review: SPACE 1999 BLU-RAY Episode#1 BREAKAWAY! Plus Viewing Order List!!
So I just received today the SPACE 1999 Blu-Ray Season One Set!
Does it live up to expectations? Few episodes in and I have to say… HOLY HECK does it ever! I'm older than most of you reading this, having been frozen in a block of ice during World War II (Okay , okay I'm joking! It was actually World War I) 🙂 , so it tends to give me a different perspective on culture and entertainment.
And I guess a different appreciation for the wonders of yesteryear.
Whereas kids raised today on the latest Battlestar Galactica or Big Screen Blockbuster, may see in this outdated show just groan inducing cheese, I see something that does not dim or fade… I see quality. And it is not for nostalgic reasons that I praise some old shows; old shows can be awful just like new shows. I'm always distrusting of people who put things on a pedestal for nostalgia's sake, just because they grew up with something. Seems like a lazy person's way of rating things.
Crap is crap. I grew up with 'Different Strokes' and 'Dukes of Hazard' for heaven's sake, and you would have to pay me (quite a lot) to sit through those shows again.
So yeah anyone who hypes a show based on no more than nostalgia, is suspect at best, and moronic at worst.
Either a show is good or it isn't.
No, if I gravitate to something from yesteryear or from today I do so because there's evident in it a craft, a passion, that transcends the budgetary or technological constraints of the time.
I once watched a ragtag theater group on the edge of the world put on a production of MAN OF LA MANCHA, that lacking even the most modest sets, was performed with such verve, and passion that decades later… it rallies me still.
And watching SPACE 1999, a show that even its title proclaims as a short-sighted anachronism, I'm drawn in and impressed by it for similar reasons as that play of long ago. Not judging it because of what I remember of it as a kid (I hated it as a kid) but judging it based on my appreciation of it today.
Here is this multi-national cast and crew, and this British studio, developing in that shadow land between the demise of the Star Trek television series and the rise of the Star Wars film, this very odd space show.
As a kid I wasn't a fan of the show. I caught it sporadically, and I found it (though it's not a word I would have used then) plodding. It was stilted, overly stoic, and filled with not particularly happy or young people… endlessly scowling at the camera and talking, talking talking.
As a kid I would watch maybe ten, fifteen minutes, then start looking through the five (and on a good day six) channels we had back then for a good show. Maybe a rerun of Star Trek. Now that was a show to capture a kid's imagination! It was colorful, action-packed, filled with attractive people (did I mention the mini-skirts) who seemed to be having fun in between saving worlds, By comparison SPACE 1999, was a drab, monochromatic environment, filled with endlessly scowling old people. I could get that from my teachers, so I didn't need that in my tv show.
So as a kid I might have seen 3 or 4 episodes in bits and pieces, none of them leaving a positive impression on me. But as an adult the price was right, and my curiosity was piqued so I now have the Blu-ray in my SEIKI Multi-region player, and as stated… it looks better than it ever did when watching it as a kid. The Blue-ray remastering is fantastic, imbuing color everywhere in a show that I recall being almost achingly drab and gray and lifeless.
Putting in the first disk, and watching the first episode, BREAKAWAY and I'm stunned… it's gorgeous, simply sumptuous. It's visually very reminiscent of Kubrick's 2001. The masterful use of models, the 1960s used to imagine and dress the coming millennium. Even though this is a show that ran from 1975 to 1977, it's the suave, controlled 'James Bond' 60s, rather than the psychedelic 70s that influence the films costumes and sets.
There's a sleek open modernity and aesthetic that is style rather than fad, and this extends particularly to the sets and ships with this wonderful analog, tactile sense to the walls and architecture and buttons and displays. And boy, I love seeing those oscilloscopes/frequency generators. As a guy who has had to use more than a few of those, now rarely seen, tech tools… it's both charming and effective.
It's a wonderful clash of concepts, a 1999 wherein analog did not lose the war to digital, and Pan-Am never went out of business, and JFK's head never went back and to the left.
And the story… I had never seen the first episode, the story (which I'll leave you to discover) is some crazy audacious manna! In short, I found it a lot of fun. Though it plays, fast and loose with physics, I have no prob with that. I go into my sci-fi not expecting it to be sci-fact.
And the stilted, stoic, even dire performances that bored me to tears as a kid, here in this episode work brilliantly. It's so stylized, their acting, ranging from subtle to understated to unnatural(Barbara Bain offers an unblinking, very controlled, almost mechanized delivery, yet is still very feminine. It's very unusual what she does, but unusual in this case works). An addictive episode.
If you're a fan of films such as Kubrick's 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY or Mario Bava's DIABOLIQUE, those primary color drenched odes to style, then you'll love this first episode of SPACE 1999. I was there in 1999, and this is the future we didn't get, but should have.
Perhaps it's not too late! Someone go blow-up the moon!!!
Oh and one more thing. The order these episodes are on the Blu-ray set (and DVD) is production order, which is completely how they came out. However, it doesn't work.
I'll say again… it doesn't work.
I hit episode two, and I was like…. "what the eff, did I miss something?!". Because even though these shows are supposed to be more or less standalone, some scripts/stories juxtapose badly with other episodes, in the order they are on the disk.
I did a bit of searching, and thankfully found someone who noticed the same type of inconsistency in the production order of the shows. Namely Andrew Kearley who has created a great web site devoted to SPACE 1999.
One of the best things on the site is that he has created a viewing order for the SPACE 1999 shows.
His website gives a breakdown of why he places the shows where he does, and you can read it here. After viewing the entire season one, I see both the strengths and weaknesses of his list. In my opinion, after watching the whole season, it's best to stick to production viewing order except where necessary. In a lot of cases Kearley's list moves episodes out of production order, when in my opinion it doesn't improve or substantially affect the viewing experience.
So I've created a list that looks to stay true to the production order of the series (the order it was shot in and how it is laid out in DVD), except where such alterations in my opinion substantially strengthen the viewing experience.
So here is Production order of the episodes and how you will find them laid out on the DVD or Blu-ray:
Matter Of Life And Death
Ring Around The Moon
Another Time, Another Place
Guardian Of Piri
Force Of Life
Alpha Child
The Last Sunset
Voyager's Return
Death's Other Dominion
The Full Circle
The Last Enemy
The Troubled Spirit
Space Brain
The Infernal Machine
Mission Of The Darians
Dragon's Domain
The Testament Of Arkadia
Utilizing Kearley's and then my own viewing experience, I'm come up with what I believe is the optimum viewing order for this series. Maintaining Production Order whenever feasible. So without further ado, here is the final set in concrete order, that I recommend the shows should be watched in. I call this the HT Space 1999 recommended Episode Viewing Order List (or HT Space 1999 REVOL for short :)):
1. Breakaway
2. Earthbound
3. Black Sun
4. Missing Link
5. Voyager's Return
The first five follow the Kearley list. Without doubt that gives a great opening to the series.
6. Ring around the Moon
7. Matter of Life and Death
Six and Seven is where I break with the Kearley List. This forms a loose 2 parter. With the possession of the Doctor in RING perhaps following her subconsciously into MATTER and perhaps helps address some of the inexplicable events that happen there.
8. Guardian of Piri
9. Force of Life
10. Alpha Child
11. The Last Sunset
12. Collision Course
13. Death's other Dominion
14. The Full Circle
15. End of Eternity
These eight episodes GUARDIAN to THE END OF ETERNITY (with the exception of moving one episode earlier in the season for story development reasons) follow production order, as I saw no substantial reason to move them around. And having watched them both ways they work best this way, adhering closer to production order.
16. The Last Enemy
17. War Games
I swap the order of THE LAST ENEMY and WAR GAMES, because in WAR GAMES it kinda heals the damage done to them in THE LAST ENEMY, and helps them get out of the habit of… preemptive strike and finding enemies wherever they look.
18. Another Time, Another Place- Agreeing with Kearley's desire to have this closer to the end of the first season, I thought this was the ideal place for this episode. The largely space based and battle heavy WAR GAMES being a nice lead in for the far more metaphysical ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE. And I think after the loss in ANOTHER TIME, the opening of TROUBLED SPIRIT is a great way to cleanse the palette and show a healing moment for the crew of Alpha after several shattering episodes.
19. The Troubled Spirit
20. Space Brain
21. The Infernal Machine
22. Mission of the Darians
23. Dragon's Domain
24. The Testament of Arkadia
And the final six episodes follow production order exactly and are a strong powerful wrap up for the first, best, and some would say ONLY true season of SPACE 1999.
Well this has been a lot of fun, a little work, putting this HT Space 1999 Recommended Episode Order Viewing List (REVOL) together. Hope it will be of help and use to some of you. Thanks!
Anyhow, Go enjoy this BLU-RAY edition of a show about a space-faring multi-cultural unified 1999, that somehow here in 2012 we managed to miss. We took the wrong road, somewhere in our not too distant past, and found ourselves stuck for decades in Orwell's 1984, rather than in Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's 1999.
Space: 1999: The Complete Season One [Blu-ray] – Buy it here!
Perhaps it's not too late to turnaround, as a culture, as a nation, as a world, and find that future that we missed… those days of futures past.
Till later in the words of the late Don Cornelius… Peace, Love, and Soul!!!

A Message from the CEO
As we transition from spring into the summer, all of us at SARAH Inc. reflect together on both the challenging and rewarding experiences that this last year has brought within all our programs. Our dedicated team has worked both virtually and in-person to provide the highest-quality supports to the children, families, and adults with differing abilities. We have created new partnerships in our communities, launched new programs, and provided opportunities for those we serve to create new memories. All of this was made possible by our staff who remained committed to our mission while maintaining the highest safety standards inside and out of our programs. Join us in celebrating the milestones and accomplishments met by those we serve.
I hope you all have a safe holiday weekend and a great summer. Stay tuned for our next newsletter this Fall, we look forward to sharing how all of those in the SARAH Inc. family enjoyed their summer.

Employment Services...
SARAH Inc.'s Employment Services Programs are using the summer months to focus on making new connections and helping individuals enhance their social, emotional, and vocational skills.
This month Valeria (Lera), a SARAH Inc. supported worker started working at Love, Lera Bakery with her family in North Haven. Love, Lera Bakery is a new business founded by the Asprelli family whose mission is to employ adults while creating delicious treats. The Aspreslli family story starts with their adopted daughter, Lera, and the challenges they persevered through together as a family as she grew older. Lera has cognitive issues and has faced other obstacles in life which led her to follow the strong mantra of "I won't ever give up!". That is the inspiration in their coffee shop and bakery, "Never Give Up". The family created an enriching work environment for their daughter and other individuals with differing abilities. All of us at SARAH Inc. are excited to see Lera flourishing in her new role. We look forward to developing our relationship with the company and exploring future opportunities including bringing in a SARAH Inc. Transitional Services crew. Like any job, there are challenges and responsibilities that come with being an employee. But Lera has shown us that a lot can be accomplished with hard work and positive attitude! Stay tuned as we hope to share more about the meaningful opportunities that the Asprelli family is providing in our community. If you are interested in learning more about the bakery or stopping in to taste a delicious treat, you can visit their website here. https://love-lera-bakery.myshopify.com/
Another recent partnership we want to announce is with Mercy High School! At our newest Community Assessment site, the individuals who attend focus on hands-on skills such as landscaping, masonry, and custodial work. The SARAH Inc. supported crew is gaining landscaping experience by laying donor bricks and reviewing the text for accuracy. They are working diligently to keep the courtyard flourishing and maintaining the grounds within two facilities. Additionally, this crew will assist in the reorganization of classrooms as the school resets and prepares for the upcoming school year. This kind of hands-on work is invaluable, and we are excited to be growing this relationship with Mercy High School.
We are also celebrating all of our recent new hires and re-hires. We are so proud of the hard-work and commitment that these individuals have exhibited to achieve these accomplishments. Join us in wishing these new employees the best of luck in their new roles!

If you are interested in getting involved with SARAH Inc. or have a family member looking for services, please reach out to us directly at marketing@sarah-inc.org. We welcome feedback and are always looking for new ways to connect to the community.
Enrichment Services...
SARAH Inc.'s Enrichment Services groups are extremely busy coming into these summer months. Our three Day Programs are now fully in-person and this will be their last week of virtual services. During the last several months our incredible team worked tirelessly to find safe and enriching activities for these adults. We have resumed our relationships with our community partners and volunteer sites while continuing to build relationships with new community members.
One of our newest programs is an Art Therapy class with our Program Coordinator Tricia Currie in our North Haven Day Program. In her last position, Tricia was an Art Therapist. She has a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts from Western Connecticut State University. Tricia organized 5 different art therapy sessions for the month of June. All of the projects were adaptable to any skill level and can be interpreted differently by the individual, making each artist's final product unique in the end. We used several different medias, such as monoprinting with tin foil and painting with cotton balls. One week's class was inspired by Georgia O'Keefe's "Sky Above Clouds", and another by Van Gogh's "Sunflowers".
Ronnie said "I really liked it, and I want to do more!" Another individual, Morgan, who took part in this class stated, "We made flowers today. It was a fun and exciting project to do with my friends."
In addition, our Community Supports Program is embracing the warm weather. The individuals in this program spend much of their time furthering life goals and getting involved in their local communities. This summer we want to feature Melissa from our Community Supports program. Since starting with this SARAH Inc. program, Melissa has engaged in a wide range of activities. When the weather isn't cooperating, she enjoys doing arts and crafts projects and going out shopping with staff. However, she prefers to be outside and staying active. Recently, Melissa has recently been playing basketball and practicing golf at the driving range.
When Melissa is out with SARAH Inc. team members, she chooses to go to the library and stores including Walmart and Big Lots. When we asked Melissa what she looks forward to most this summer she said she is most excited to go strawberry picking and visit the beach. It's the perfect weather for just about anything!
Lastly, we are excited to share some successes in our on-going summer nutrition classes at our Westbrook Day Program. Kara Pachniuk MS, CNS from Nourish and Nosh Nutrition is hosting a summer long nutrition class for the adults in our Westbrook program. This class covers everything from basic nutrition to hands-on cooking. So far, the individuals have learned several different aspects of nutrition including topics such as sugar consumption and how to make a balanced dinner plate. During this time, we have also tasted some delicious (and extremely healthy) smoothies, muffins, chicken salad, and more!
This Nutrition class is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Westbrook Foundation who provided us with grant funding to help further the education and well-being of several Westbrook residents. Additional thanks to the friends and family members of SARAH Inc. who generously donated to this program.
KIDSTEPS Early Intervention Services
We are excited to announce as we move into the summer, SARAH Inc. KIDSTEPS is now also phasing back to in-person services. This time last year our team was not only providing supports virtually during the midst of a pandemic, but they were undergoing an expansion from a 31-town service region to a 50-town service region. Through all the change and transition, this dedicated and passionate team continued to provide the highest-quality services to children and families throughout Connecticut.
While we were thankful for the opportunity to continue providing essential services during the pandemic, we cannot express how incredible of a feeling it is to be back in-person helping children and families in their natural environments. One family member describes how beneficial it is to receive face to face services again, "It's been helpful to see Shannon modeling strategies in person to see where I can make changes, especially pausing more to help make more opportunities for Spencer."
We are now providing services in the following towns: Berlin, Bozrah, Branford, Canterbury, Clinton, Colchester, Cromwell, Deep River, Durham, East Haven, East Lyme, Essex, Franklin, Glastonbury, Griswold, Groton, Guilford, Hamden, Killingly, Killingworth, Lebanon, Ledyard, Lisbon, Madison, Meriden, Middletown, Milford, Montville, New Britain, New Haven, New London, Newington, North Branford, North Haven, Norwich, Old Lyme, Old Saybrook, Orange, Plainfield, Portland, Rocky Hill, Scotland, Sprague, Stonington, Wallingford, Waterford, West Haven, Westbrook Wethersfield and Windham. Staff are local and familiar to the community they serve.

Special Thanks to the Old Saybrook Rotary Club...
The Old Saybrook Rotary Club (OSRC) generously provided SARAH Inc. with the funds needed to purchase two Autism Boxes for our KIDSTEPS Early Intervention Services and five Enrichment Boxes for the adults in our Westbrook Day Program.
SARAH Inc.'s KIDSTEPS teams utilize Autism Boxes made up of various assessment and evaluation tools needed to gauge a child's specific needs. The assessment and evaluation materials are used to evaluate children to determine their eligibility for Birth to Three services according to the state's criteria, as well as to help assess the strengths and needs of each child and family in order to provide high-quality customized services. Additionally, a wide variety of assessments are needed so therapists may individualize activities to target the family's priority areas. The autism-specific assessment tools are used to assess whether a child meets the criteria for a diagnosis for autism as well as to establish a baseline of their skills, develop their program, and monitor their progress. Moreover, all the materials are reusable and will continue to make a positive impact on children and families in Old Saybrook for several more years.
The Westbrook Day Program provides services to adults with differing abilities. Each of the Enrichment Task boxes includes basic literacy and math tools to help an individual continually develop basic life skills. The overall objective is to empower the individuals in the Westbrook Program to be as independent as possible. Staff will work with each person to identify their skill set by utilizing the curriculum. Once we have an understanding of each person and their baseline level, we can increase them to the next level up through the implementation of reoccurring six-month check-ins with their team.
It is the generosity of agencies such as the Old Saybrook Rotary Club and others who help further our mission of Enhancing Skills and Transforming Lives of All Individuals with Differing Abilities. To find more information about the OSRC you can check out their website here.

The right-hander is guaranteed $54 million over the four years, with a conditional option worth $14 million in 2019 if he throws more than 200 innings, a source said. He will receive a $1 million buyout if the Twins don't exercise the option.
This feels like a signing in which a team feels like they should something. Anything. But did too much for the wrong person (a la Edwin Jackson and the Cubs two years ago).
If nothing else, it certainly makes the Francisco Liriano – not to mention Jason Hammel – deal look good.
The Twins will be Santana's four team in four years after spending the first eight years of his career with the Angels.


Each project group should plan for a 20-minute presentation, but there is enough slack for 30 minutes if necessary.
This Thursday, April 28, I'll ask for working titles and group members for the final projects, along with everyone's free times during finals week (May 9-13), so that we can schedule the project presentations. Also, at the end of Thursday's class, I'll distribute ICES forms.
One-line summaries of the submitted project proposals are now available. I will describe the proposals in detail in class tomorrow. At least one student has asked me not to post their proposal on the web site; to respect this request, I will not post any proposals until next week. If you do not want me to post your proposal, please let me know by April 15. Alternately, if you send me a revision of your proposal this week, I will post that instead.
Project proposals are due Friday, April 8. This is a hard deadline! The project reports will be due Friday, May 13 (the day our final exam would be held if we had one). If you haven't already submitted Homework 1, please do that soon, so you don't have to work on homework and your project at the same time.
LaTeX source for Homework 1 is available.
A few people have asked for lecture notes; unfortunately, I just don't have time to write up lecture notes this semester. Erik Demaine and his students have written notes for almost all the topics I've covered so far, for a similar class at MIT.
Homework 1 is due Thursday, March 3. Ish.
Class is canceled next Tuesday, January 23; Jeff will be at SODA.
I incorrectly listed the class time as 11:00–12:15 on the posters advertising the class. The class actually meets 12:30–1:45. Sorry about the screwup. Enjoy an early lunch tomorrow!
Students in all areas of computer science and related disciplines are welcome, including algorithmically mature undergraduates. CS 573 is recommended as a prerequisite, but not required; specific background material will be introduced as needed.

Home gardening start-up Ugaoo raises pre-Series A round from DSG Consumer Partners, RPG Ventures
By Kaushiki Chatterjee
Home gardening and houseplant start-up Ugaoo has raised Rs 15 crore in its pre-Series A funding round led by DSG Consumer Partners and RPG Ventures, the venture capital arm of businessman Harsh Goenka-led RPG group.
The Pune based startup, owned and operated by Ugaoo Agritech Pvt Ltd, aims to invest heavily in regional expansion, product enhancement and building its team.
"We plan to utilize the funds to expand our regional presence with hubs and garden centers in Bangalore, Delhi, Kolkata and collaborate with international plant companies to introduce a wider range of exotic plants and premium plant care products to the Indian market," said Siddhant Bhalinge, Founder of Ugaoo.
In the last six years, Ugaoo has fulfilled more than a million orders and we aim to produce at least 500k plants a month by end of next year, he adds.
The online gardening portal offers gardening and plant care products including live indoor plants, planters and kitchen garden seeds, through its website as well as marketplaces such as Amazon and Flipkart. It has also built two experience stores in Pune that focuses on inspiring people to bring nature inside their homes and aesthetically setting up for better mental health and aspirational quality of life.
Maharashtra-based Ugaoo was founded in 2015 by Bhalinge, a landscape architect from California State Polytechnic University and he started the firm as a subsidiary of his 130-year-old family company Namdeo Umaji Agritech.
Ugaoo claims to have witnessed a growth of 120% year-on-year.
"The plant and home gardening industry is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 50% and reach a market size of $4 Billion by 2025 in India, thus holding great potential for growth," said Bhalinge, who hails from a family business of seeds and agriculture.
Ugaoo's plants are grown in-house, in its state-of-the-art greenhouses with help from horticultural experts to ensure complete control of quality from planting to dispatch.
The startup addresses the challenge of avoiding damage to in-transit plants while selling online by using "innovative, jelly-filled soil mixes and re-useable sturdy packaging that can withstand a payload of 50 kg and 8-10 days in transit from nursery to destination".
"Plant parenting is on the rise across age groups and the category has massive growth potential. The category is highly unorganized, and the offline purchase experience is subpar. Ugaoo has the potential to be the category-defining brand by solving customer pain points thoughtfully with a digital-first approach," said Hariharan Premkumar, Head of India of DSG Consumer Partners.
Singapore-based DSG Consumer Partners is an investment company focusing on identifying, investing in, and growing consumer businesses in India & Southeast Asia. Recently, the company invested $6.5 million (around Rs 48 crore) in Sleepy Owl Coffee Pvt. Ltd along with Rukam Capital.
"Verticalization of cities, a large market in home and commercial décor as well as plant gifting and the company's deep domain knowledge prompted us to partner with Ugaoo Agritech. We also see a rising trend in plant parenting among the young adults," said Kunjan Chikhlikar, Head of RPG Ventures.
Other such firms in the space are Nurserylive, Pune-based online gardening market; Ferns N Petals and Bangalore-based Farmizen; Crofarm, a startup that connects farmers with retailers; among others.

Postcards To Dead Rock Stars
By Adam Krier · On October 12, 2010
AM Taxi
Dear Roy Orbison,
Greetings from summer camp! I write to you this time regarding "The Spirit of Rock & Roll." Some say it's lost. It ain't lost, it's just not always where it used to be:
Sometimes loud-mouthed, sometimes furious, occasionally rude and always on fire. Intractable are the youth who wave their fists and bark along. The kids are pissed and they mean it, man. Wait, no, they're not pissed – they want to dance. No, no, now they want to screw or scream or tweet or something. At any rate, they've all shown up here to escape life for a tic while sweating it out in God-knows-what Fahrenheit. This parking lot is the combat zone as well as the playground. Summer's here and the time is right for growling in the streets. Expensive jeans, neon rage, exuberant and coated with slogans like "balls deep."
Yeah, I don't like it either. But would we really want it any other way? I mean, it's the youth, the rebellion. It's the brand new dance, and American Bandstand it ain't. Like it or not, at least for the time being, this is what we're dealing with. I say let 'em have it… for now. Welcome to the Vans seven-ring circus you call Warped Tour.
Previously bound exclusively to its punk rock reputation, the Vans Warped Tour has been broadening its horizons over the years to include everything from bluesy folk singers to screaming teenagers who play disco metal. Although not all of us are thrilled about the latter, we have to accept that the times they are a changing and new trends are gonna come along. We don't always like or understand these new sounds and fashions that turn up, but we have to respect the fact that this, for the time being, is fueling the fire for a large percent of the young music lovers out there. Underneath it all, the principles are somehow still the same. Whether it's in disguise or in your face, the spirit of rock & roll is still in attendance and it's foaming at the mouth.
Don't get me wrong Roy, I'm having the time of my life out here, and there are plenty of great bands to watch every day on this tour. I just wish more people were checking them out. It's interesting, some of the older folks are finding their fix. They too need the therapy – some more than others. Aimless and as derailed as any teenage freight train, the old timers know that when the smoke clears (and the smoke always clears) the tried and true will still be standing.
Here's to seeing that happen sooner rather than later. In the meantime, we'll be alright. Turn up The Gamblers, The Souls and The Big Damn Band. It's Warped tour and it's a hell of a way to spend the summer.
Tell Eddie I said happy birthday, and say "hi" to Dee Dee and the boys for me.

It can be tough to find credibility at the Warped Tour now. Usually there are a handful of good bands that make it worth the money…but you have to sit through A LOT of shit as well.
I liked this piece though…right on.
Greg Eisinger says: October 12, 2010 at 7:03 PM
Dear Joe Strummer,
I was just reading this eloquent bit about the Warped Tour and it made me think of you. I think about you an awful lot acutally for someone that I've never come close to meeting. Usually its once a week or so when I put on London Calling or Global-a-go-go or something. And I wonder. . . what do YOU think of the Warped Tour recently?? I know its only been a few years since you were a part of that very scene but I can't help but think that every now and then you must still scratch your head and wonder how punk rock got to where it is today. I certainly don't mean to disparage any of the great bands doing their thing under the banner of punk these days, but simply to wonder about what the threads are that tie them back to the pioneers of punk. Back in the garages that spawned The Stooges, the clubs that first heard The New York Dolls, and the squats where you started rehearsing with the 101'ers, the ideas about what punk meant must have been very different from those that now live in suburban basements where teenagers have to mute their curse words to keep from upsetting their parents. I don't disvalue the latter whatsoever but simply wonder: how can the same genre of music encompass bands from Elvis Costello and the Attractions to GG Allin? The Damned and Minor Threat? The Queers and The Misfits to Good Charlotte? Johhny Cash to Black Flag? The Pogues to Cocksparrer to NOFX to Blink 182?? X and the Replacements and to The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and to Bowling for Soup??? Rudimentary Peni and DRI to MxPx??? I don't dispute that there is something that unites all of these diverse artists, I just think that I lose touch with what that something is a lot of the time. When one artist is singing about drugs and suicide, another about wars in the middle east, and another about how his girlfriend broke up with him, its easy to lose sight of the commonalities. I've found myself in the discussion of "what is punk" many times with many different people and I've never heard a satisfactory explanation that accounts for the diversity within the genre. The closest thing I can come up with is that there is a clump of qualities which impart "punkness" to a band and that once a the band possesses a sufficient number of those attributes, we call them punk. These could be things like a certain liberal ideology, a feeling of social, political, and musical revolution, a certain attitude and pattern of behavior, a particular sound to the music or the production, a rejection of the industry of music, a distinctive style of dress, and on and on and on. But somehow, as illusive as punk is to define, most of us know it when we hear it. And people are STILL doing it and listening to it all over the world. So I wonder Joe, back when you and Mick and Malcom were crafting the sound and image of the Clash, what was it that punk meant to you? And how do today's artists live up to that? In any case, I hope that you are pleased with what it has become and that the tradition that came to life in the hands of men like yourself continues to expand and evolve for years to come. Take care of yourself.
Love, GregE.
Rory Biller says: October 13, 2010 at 1:24 AM
To me punk rock is an idealism…it is original, fearless, honest, and in your face. Punk music to me can represent all of the bands you mentioned. But only half of them are punk rock…I think you know the ones.
To be punk rock, you have to meet that criteria.
To me the following person(s) were/are punk rock:
GG Allen
Guns N Roses circa 1986
The Germs
Jim Morrisson
The Pixies
Gogol Bordello
The following were/are not punk rock:
Bowling For Soup
Avril Lavinge
Green Day (post Insomniac)
Weezer (post Pinkerton)
I guess what I'm trying to say is you don't have to play punk music to be punk rock…in my eyes. And that most of the bands that dominate the charts playing punk/pop-punk music today are not punk rock at all. None of this is really original thought though…just rambling I suppose.
Ahh semantics…

We are big fans of Sesame Street having "literally" (pun intended) been raised by the Children's Television Workshop and growing up singing along to "Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?".
Our favorite characters are from Sesame Street's most long-standing comic duos, Bert and Ernie. Bert is often seen as the grumpy half and is frequently frustrated by Ernie's antics. Ernie, on the other hand is best known for his fondness for bath time and singing about his rubber duckie.
One of our favorite Bert and Ernie skits involves Bert wanting to do something boring but then Ernie asks him to play a game which Bert refuses. Eventually Bert agrees and just when he starts to enjoy himself, Ernie abandons the game much to Bert's dismay.
Designed after the colors of both their signature striped sweaters, our Bert and Ernie socks makes a great match for both casual and work wear and offers a pop of color for those days when you just want to let loose and have some fun.

The 8 Best Acts We Saw at New Colossus Festival 2020
This five-day event in New York City's Lower East Side was probably the last music festival for a while.
By Lizzie Manno | March 17, 2020 | 12:35pm
Photo by Paul Familetti Music Lists New Colossus Festival
It's hard to discuss the second edition of New York City's New Colossus Festiva without mentioning the elephant in the room. Coronavirus has been shutting down or postponing live music events all across the globe over the past two weeks—most notably Austin's famous SXSW and California's Coachella—but NYC's New Colossus chugged ahead last week as best as it could. A number of artists pulled out, fearing that they might get stuck in New York City due to impending travel bans, and venues were eventually subject to the city's capacity restrictions or forced to cancel. It was hectic, to say the least, but the artists who did show at this Lower East side five-day event put on some incredible performances for audiences still hungry for live music—despite all the warnings.
Paste's showcase at Berlin experienced a few speed bumps due to artist cancellations, but performances from Tim Burgess, Honey Lung and others resulted in a warm, intimate evening of music. Paste also hosted live-streamed sessions with a number of artists from the festival at our Manhattan studio, like Donna Blue, Ali Barter, New Luna, Siv Jakobsen and more, and you can check all those out on our YouTube channel here. As for the artists that blew us away while we floated around the small venues of the Lower East Side, you can read about these fantastic eight artists below.
Halifax, U.K. quartet The Orielles brought their new album Disco Volador, out now via Heavenly Recordings, to life in New York City in all of its loungey avant-pop glory. The record saw them shift focus from the reverby guitars of their 2018 debut Silver Dollar Moment to something much groovier and forward-thinking, and their floaty tunes were perfectly suited for boogying footwork. The disco-pop of "Bobbi's Second World" and funky dreamscapes of "Space Samba (Disco Volador Theme)" washed over the crowd with wonderfully sultry and oddball energy.
While they weren't able to put on another impressive showing at SXSW this year, Hull, U.K. four-piece LIFE (pictured above) did leave a lasting impression on the American crowds at New Colossus. The band released their latest full-length, A Picture of Good Health, last year, and its bratty indie-punk was perfect for the small bars of New York City. Lead vocalist Mez Green utilized incisive arm movements like an airbender as he simultaneously unfurled snotty vocals at the crowd's faces. "Moral Fibre" (whose video premiered at Paste) and "Excites Me" were particularly rowdy and bouncy numbers, and the floors began to rumble—almost as if the room itself was encouraging pogoing.
Zoe Mead, the one-woman force behind London dream pop project Wyldest, put on a wispy, transcendent show upstairs at Pianos. Mead released a reworked version of her 2019 debut Dream Chaos—called Redream Chaos—earlier this year, and it swapped breezy effects for moving acoustic renditions. She performed with nothing more than an electric guitar and some programmed loops, but her graceful voice transfixed the crowd, temporarily erasing the strange circumstances of the week and providing pacifying moods via timeless melancholia.
Catch Wyldest today (March 17) in the Paste Studio at 12:30 p.m. ET.
British quartet Honey Lung were one of our favorites from last year's SXSW, and their melodic guitar slinging and tender-hearted vocals made an emotive return. The band recently signed to Big Scary Monsters (Beach Slang, American Football) for a forthcoming EP and released a new single "Be My Friend," which made its American live debut at New Colossus. Songs like "Nothing," "Sophomore" and soon-to-be-released single "Juggle" sweltered with benevolence, during both ardent guitar solos and vulnerable, longing lyrics.
Winnipeg, Canada trio Veneer were one of our favorite discoveries at New Colossus. Their minimal indie rock floored audiences with their gorgeous harmonies and perky guitarwork. When they weren't all smiles during their jaunty plucking, they were knee-deep in measured catharsis and sentimental fireworks. The three-piece's chemistry was palpable and enhanced every moment of their Bowery Electric set. One satisfying example came when a lyric was spoken seemingly as off-the-cuff, between-song banter, but then all members began to chant it until it became the first line of the song.
Canadian guitarist Daniel Monkman describes the music of his project Zoon (short for Zoongide'ewin) as "moccasin gaze," and the earthy, bewildering sounds that tag brings to mind were true to form at New Colossus. The band's shoegaze sound was imbued with droning psychedelia, soft dream pop and occasional jazzy and folky touches, but never settled in one lane for too long. The blended vocal melodies between Monkman and drummer Andrew McLeod were some of the most affecting, sheer pop performances of the festival, and their Bowery Electric showing was everything you'd want from a hypnotic band like this.
Toflang
The sensitive electro-rock of Barcelona two-piece Toflang was a much-needed rush of euphoria on the final day of New Colossus. Their set at Arlene's Grocery merged the twisty, pumping electronics of LCD Soundsystem with the heartwarming keyboards and pretty melodies of Radiohead. Toflang's ruminations were aided by windy ambience and drum machines, and when their vocals reached a powerful climax during the end of a grand electro-pop number, it felt like the room was packed with tens of thousands rather than dozens. It's hard not to imagine a band with this much gorgeous refinement getting scooped up by a big-name label.
South London singer/songwriter Sophie Ellison, who records as HUSSY, released a number of enigmatic, lo-fi dream rock singles, the latest of which we featured here at Paste, and despite no full-length to speak of yet, HUSSY more than peaked our interest. Though normally a five-piece, the band performed as a quartet with no drummer for their NYC debut, but Ellison's wistful songs and distorted guitars still brought plenty of oomph. Previously released tracks like "Slayer" and "YLMD" were wispy highlights while unreleased selections brought more gruff guitar tones and yearning emotions via silky vocals.
