The District of Columbia, which has the highest homicide rate of any major U.S. city, locked up only two criminals for breaking federal gun laws last year. Yet D.C. officials still managed to receive glowing press reports for their latest crime fighting ploy: paying residents, with no questions asked, $100 for each gun turned in for destruction during two days in August.
Seeing the headlines, and without bothering to seek any appraisal of the actual effectiveness of turn-in programs, President Clinton rushed to announce a scheme to hand over 15 million taxpayer dollars to other mayors to run their own turn-ins. It was suggested that $50 be paid for each gun.
** They can result in the disarming of future crime victims who could have used the guns defensively to prevent death, injury or property loss.
** As the Law Enforcement Alliance of America has stated, a "no-questions-asked" policy provides the criminal with a legal and foolproof way in which to dispose of any weapon that has been used in crime.
** The guns turned in usually belong to those people--women, senior citizens, etc.--least likely to commit crimes of violence.
** Many of the guns turned in are cheap handguns purchased for the express purpose of being turned in for profit.
** Paying a "no-questions-asked" minimum "bounty" provides criminals with an incentive to steal guns.
** Low bounties encourage the surrender of cheaper, small-caliber handguns, which in turn encourages their replacement with larger-caliber, more powerful handguns.
** Only a tiny share of the gun stock is eliminated, usually not enough to keep pace with additions to the stock.
** Most people who turn in guns still retain other guns.
** Such programs frequently result in guns being destroyed, rather than being returned to those from whom they were stolen. Clearly, any stolen guns turned in must be returned to their lawful owners. The government shouldn't act as a fence for gun thieves.

Cruiser-Cruiser
Posted byelectricgene April 29, 2019 April 29, 2019 Posted inAlbum ReviewTags:Album, Album Review, alternative, Cruiser, Limerick, Music, punk, reclessreviews, shoegaze
Cruiser are a limerick band who've been releasing absolute belters for a few years now. Somehow, despite their volume, I've managed to miss out on them until recently. However, through the release of the single No More Parties they've become impossible to ignore. While No More Parties is a fantastic single, today we're going to talk about their debut record Cruiser.
Released in 2017, Cruiser comes in at 36 minutes and brings with it a shoegaze/punk rock sound. They manage to remind us of a whole slew of bands, with Titus Andronicus (post The Airing of Grievances), Blink-182 and Sonic Youth (to a degree) among the most comparable.
Opening tracks "Parma" and "Spine" get straight to the point, exploding with energy and slick riffs. The pace keeps up for the following tracks, "A Note" and "Grownapart", the latter of which honestly is f**king class. Even at this early stage it's easy to hear that Cruiser have been careful to make sure every aspect of the record is on par with the next. While the music itself is high-quality, the lyrics also keep up, especially in "A Note". This is refreshing because sometimes, not always of course, debut records by punk influenced bands can focus heavily on sound in trying to differentiate somewhat from the rest of the pack. Thankfully however, Cruiser have thought ahead!
With "Things We've Learnt" we hear Cruiser's shoegaze influence come to the fore with a ripping guitar solo. "Special Method", "Missing Limbs" and "Carthagenia" all come in under 3 minutes which, if you're a punk rock fan, you can guess makes them speedy tracks. Another standout track, "Gram", is a tribute to Gram Parsons that sees lead singer Ger Devine go for a Thursten Moore-esque poetic wander. In an interview with Overblown, Ger spoke about the track, saying "Musically it's us at our most shoegaze-y and at the end it morphs into a poem I wrote for my better half because I had no other clue how to finish it." Well, it turned out just perfect Ger!
The final track, "No More Parties in LK" sees a mini-chant come into fruition in the form of "Cruiser vs everyone!"; lyrics I'm sure fans have gladly belted out at live shows. By the end of Cruiser you'll have found your new favourite band. It's an exciting, blistering listen that at no point even thinks abut slowing down or falling into safety and routine. Thankfully, it doesn't cruise along.

Data centers need to be more agile than ever, as IT increasingly becomes a strategic asset that determines how well an organization interacts with its customers, suppliers and employees. Yet with today's constrained budgets, IT administrators must ensure that their hardware investments deliver optimal ROI and help reduce operational expenses at every level.
In this IDC Analyst Connection white paper, server expert Jed Scaramella discusses how to address the challenges of data center inefficiency. Check out this paper to gain insight into how the latest innovations in server blade technology are enabling IT administrators to optimize their infrastructures while saving money.


In this second ever episode of the podcast, we take a different approach to talking about wine: instead of focusing on wine theory like in the Middle-earth and Old World Wines episodes, we're focusing on the process of tasting a wine, and showing how different wines made from the same grape and even from the same place can taste totally different. Rather than giving broad strokes about different wine regions and grapes, in this episode we are honing in on one wine region, which is Tuscany, and one grape, which is Sangiovese.
If you are interested in reading Uma Thurman's account of her experiences involving these movies, here is her interview in the New York Times.
First of all, here's a Wine Map of Tuscany from WineFolly, a great online resource. This will definitely be helpful to look at before, during, and/or after listening to the episode.
The Four Fundamental Elements of Wine: Tannin, Acid, Sugar, and Alcohol.
Fact Check: Chianti must be at least 80% Sangiovese.
Clarification: A better way to describe how most rosé is made, rather than whatever Emma said in this episode, is red grapes made in a white wine fashion.
Feminine vs. Masculine as wine descriptors. Pretty much what you'd expect, as long as wines are being heteronormative.
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano vs. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo: one's a region, one's a grape, and they're both different! Why Italy why?!?
Clarification: Vin Santo is a dessert wine made in Tuscany. It can sometimes be made from the Sangiovese grape, but more often is a blend of the Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes. The Vin Santo we reference, from Badia a Coltibuono, is no exception to the trend.
Emma's #1 Rule For Tasting Wine: You can't be wrong, so don't be afraid!

Spartanburg area students learn healthy eating at kitchen at Milliken
Samantha Swann @SSwannSHJ
A group of children from the Boys & Girls Club of the Upstate surrounded a table in a Milliken break room Tuesday. What were they doing? Making salads, of course.
The children were the latest group to participate in the Healthy Kids in the Bon Apetit Kitchen program, hosted locally at Milliken. The program aimed at teaching healthy eating habits to local youth has been held at Milliken for about four years, according to Hannah Schmunk, manager of food education at Bon Apetit, and the Healthy Kids program has existed for about five years.
"We're really just here to show kids that they can fall in love with vegetables and that it can be simple to take fresh fruits and vegetables and transform them into recipes that they really like," Schmunk said.
The program's goal is to teach school-aged children about proper nutrition, encourage healthy eating habits and give the students the confidence to make good mealtime choices. Schmunk said a big part of that is making eating healthy fun, not a chore.
"Right now, they're chowing down on salad-on-a-stick, which I think a lot of their parents might be surprised by, but when they're involved in the whole process and they're with their peers and it's a positive environment, I really do see kids fall in love with foods that maybe they resist in other situations," Schmunk said.
The first through fourth graders participate in interactive lessons, in addition to hands-on kitchen work. The students at Milliken Tuesday learned about "eating the rainbow" since different colored fruits and vegetables have different vitamins in them and the difference between processed and unprocessed foods. Schmunk would ask the children to think of examples and make guesses in response to questions and used flashcards to illustrate the new concepts.
"I think we shy away from teaching kids a lot of nutrition concepts at a young age because we think that they aren't ready or aren't able to understand them, but what I've found is that's so far from the truth," said Schmunk. "If taught in a kid-friendly way, they really can grasp these nutrition concepts and take them home and use them on a daily basis."
Executive chef Joey Pearson from Bon Appetit helped the Boys & Girls Club members make simple and healthy snacks, like salad-on-a-stick and fruit and yogurt parfaits. With Pearson, the children learned some basic cooking skills, including how to make a simple vinaigrette dressing and how to use a (plastic) knife safely while chopping food.
"It's most important to have them understanding how to make good decisions about food," Pearson said.
Jeremiah Petty, 10, said that he'd learned more about healthy foods and improved his knife skills during the cooking class.
Petty said he'd learned how to "make salad sticks and that unprocessed food is (more) good for you than processed food."
The children had an array of vegetables and fruits to work with and were encouraged to taste them during the cooking process. They had been given some foods that were new to many of them, like acorn squash and pomegranate, both of which, the children were told, are in season or growing now.
"My favorite was the pomegranate because it tasted like cranberry and I love cranberries," said Maya Lynch, 9.
Lynch said she'd made a strawberry and banana parfait, and that she thought she'd make the recipes again.
Carey Lapidus, corporate hospitality manager at Milliken, said Milliken began hosting the program because they felt it was important for local children to learn the keys to a healthy lifestyle.
While the event is typically annual — a group of students from Meeting Street Academy came to participate in the program earlier this year — �Lapidus said they'd been inspired by the program's success thus far that they decided to host a second session this year. A different local group is invited each time the program is held.
"We really feel like it's a great thing for the kids to experience here at Milliken," Lapidus said.
Lapidus said that in addition to inspiring the children to eat nutritiously, the program also exposes the children to different career options that they may not have thought of before.
"It really opens up the doors to healthy food and cooking. It could be something they're interested in doing as a career after seeing a class like this," Lapidus said. "It also exposes them to a big company that's in their local area and allows them to have the ability to think bigger than their normal, day-to-day world. To think, 'There's this big company that has a thousand people that work right here in Spartanburg and their corporate office is here, maybe I could work for Milliken one day.' It gives them the opportunity to dream a little bigger."

Former Secretary, Joint Secy and Director in ministry of Coal have been convicted by the court under IPC for criminal conspiracy and cheating in a coal block allocation case in MP. More coal scam cases are pending. Sentences were awarded to three top bureaucrats: the then Secy, Joint Secy and Director of Coal ministry, by the special court of CBI. It will be inappropriate for any third party, to blame the Court citing "Officers' honesty, commitment and dedication " and, worse, warning GOI about the perceived repercussions like "policy paralysis ; demotivating bureaucracy from taking decisions" etc. The aggrieved officers are free to appeal to High court and even Supreme court for relief. The CBI court in the present case, pronounced judgement based on CBI investigation, supporting documents, recorded statements, cross-examination etc.Intercession by IAS officers Association is unwarranted.
(b) Why did the then Finance Minister keep his conspiratorial silence in the matter?
(c ) Who blocked reappraisal of coal block allocation policy despite specific advice of former coal Secretary P C Parakh and report of C&AG ? Was Manmohan Singh choosen to double as Coal minister for his docility and compliant attitude to the Congress supremo? Let us be upfront.
(d) Refer to Sanjay Baru's "The Accidental Prime Minister" and P C Parakh's "Crusader or Conspirator" for ringside views. Parakh went to the extent of embarrassing Manmohan Singh by calling him a " PM with little political authority ".
(e)It was common knowledge during UPA's decade long mis-rule that all ministers bypassed the de jure PM and considered themselves lucky to implement oral orders of the de facto PM. The gutless, pliant and powerless Manmohan Singh enjoyed formalizing the oral orders of the de facto CEO ,that is, the Congress supremo. Where was the bureaucracy?
Based on inputs from IB, RAW, IT,ED, the report carries explosive details of politicians,criminals and bureaucrats,who indulged in anti-national and unethical practices under Congress protection.
After perusal by the then HM, N N Vohra, the then union Home Secy, detached it from the main report.
This pleased the Congress. Vohra was appointed Governor of J&K by the UPA ,as reward for his loyalty.
Appointed in June 2008, he continues till date,as the longest serving Governor.Total stint of 9 years.
It is time to replace Vohra by a retired Army Chief as Governor J&K.
PM Modi is urged to take the call.
ICJ's interim judgement is finally out. Republic of India wins on all counts.All Pak's arguments bludgeoned. Global humiliation. Congratulations to PM Modi,Sushma Swaraj, MEA mandarins and,of course, Harish Salve. Such leadership initiatives distinguish the present ruling dispensation from the erstwhile Congress-led UPA govt.
According to Media reports ,Khawar Qureshi, the lawyer who argued for Pakistan against India in Jadhav's case, was earlier appointed by UPA government in 2004 to argue in a power project case. What prompted the Congress to hire the services of a Pakistani lawyer, one wonders ? Was there a dearth of talented lawyers in India ? The blunder calls for investigation.
Let us await Pak's reactions and appropriate responses by India. Pakistan, out of desperation, could attempt escalating its misadventure. It is reportedly going back to the World court with " solid evidences ", seeking revision of interim orders of ICJ .
China's One Belt One Road (OBOR) ostensibly meant to connect Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe, is manifestation of its expansionist policy. I fully support PM Modi for taking a firm stand by rejecting China's invite to OBOR summit in Beijing. It will be foolhardy to join China when CPEC ( A part of OBOR) violates India's territorial integrity and sovereignty by criss-crossing POK, a legitimate part of India. Dangerous security implications for India must be addressed. Don't forget China's illegal claim on Arunachal Pradesh and its vehement opposition to India's entry into NSG and as a permanent member of Security council. Considering China's experiences in Africa and development of Gwadar port in Baluchistan, the ambitious OBOR is headed for a disaster. Clashes between the locals with Chinese supervisors are common.
Consider financial aspects. How will the shortsighted countries benefit from interest-bearing Chinese loans, service their huge debt and high-rated interests-liabilities on massive Chinese investments? Their poor repaying capacities will facilitate China controlling the stakes and ownership. Financial strangling will impinge on territorial integrity and sovereignty. The influx of Chinese economic assistance into Sri Lanka and Cambodia has raised questions about China's subtle and mischievous intentions behind massive investments on infra-projects in other countries. China has been persistently demanding its money back from Srilanka.
Pakistan's terror attack of May 1, 2017, beheading indian soldiers, has been the most dastardly act. Retribution has to be immediate. Delayed response, assertions by political leaders, collecting proofs of cross-border terror attacks to share with Pakistan, dithering for days, are self-defeating acts. Why has India gone on backfoot on Baluchistan, Sindh, POK and Gilgit-Baltistan?
Indian Army conducted surgical strikes on Sept 29,2016, destroying several launch pads to pre-empt infiltration by terrorists. But, it gave temporary relief ? Now, 55 terror camps have sprung up in POK lined along LOC. Had India continued regular surgical strikes, situation would not have come to such a pass. Unfortunately, India remains defensively offensive, reactive rather than pro-active, scared of enhancing scales of counter- offensive operations. The United States , South Korea and Japan have moved their war ships to North Korea. China suggests India and Pakistan to settle their issues bilaterally. What could be the most opportune moment than this to teach Pakistan, lesson of life-time. Sharing proofs of terror attacks with Pak,is foolhardy.
Let India bleed Pakistan to a thousand cuts. The policy of "Strategic restraint", has failed.
RERA, a good move, but …?
Real Estate Regulation Act (RERA ) is a beautiful thing to have happened in the country. But, its successful implementation would depend on continuous and serious monitoring by the States governments. Open malpractices would lead to non-compliance of the Act.
Rest assured, builders would be free to mislead the buyers on quality of construction, non display of load factors, carpet areas etc.Politico – criminal-bureaucratic- police nexus would continue to turn a Nelson's eye to the ongoing unethical practices in collusion with real estate agents. All partners in crime. What about the safety of poor complainants and whistle blowers? Every chance of the Act getting diluted, as we go along.
Let us not wait for divine intervention. God will not fight for us. Army will. Now is the time for India to fire the first salvo on Pakistan.
Let the retribution start with surgical strikes, not once, twice but continuously, many times over.Time is of the essence.
In the first strike on Sept 29, 2016, several launching pads were destroyed by indian army. But,with what results?
Now, we have 55 terror camps in POK lined along LOC. Had India continued surgical strikes periodically, situation would have been different.
But, India remains defensively offensive, reactive rather than being pro-active, scared of enhancing the scales of counter- offensive.
The body language of Abdul Basit while coming out of MEA in South Block , was exasperating. Humiliating as though mocking at our stupidities.
Let MEA declare him a Persona non grata and order immediate expulsion to Pakistan. Activate Baluchi freedom fighters to declare independence of Baluchistan.
Fight Pak army to take over the entire POK ,a legitimate part of India. Pak cannot sustain a war for long. Keep indian nukes and missiles interceptors ready.
It will involve large scale operations ,lasting several weeks. The US, South Korea and Japan have moved their war ships to North Korea.
China suggests India and Pakistan to settle their issues bilaterally. Most opportune time to attack Pakistan.
Sharing proofs of terror attacks with Pak,is foolhardy. Retribution has to be immediate . Delayed response after several days of useless statements, providing proof and dithering for days is self-defeating .
PM Modi has always been my icon.
Of late,I am getting increasingly disillusioned with his stony silence over killings of our jawans in Sukma or Poonch.
The oft-repeated statement that our Army has been given a free hand to give appropriate response to Pak, is self-defeating., self-deceptive.
No time to visit the funerals of our beheaded brave-hearts.
Strangely, not a word of condolence to the bereaved families.
Saying "Bravehearts' martyrdom won't go in vain " , repeatedly, raises blood pressure.
Families of beheaded soldiers preparing for funerals with full military honours.
Villagers present in full to empathise with the aggrieved families.
Politicians, District Administrators, conspicuous by their absence.
Congress ,BJP brazenly accusing each other.
AAP facing Mahabharat within, exposed ,on verge of collapse.
Amit Shah takes pride in BJP's successive electoral victories.
PM, BJP CMs busy in inaugural ceremonies, visiting temples and making speeches.
Was addressing IFS probationers by PM , more important?
Not a word of condolence for the berieved families.
Public, watching all this tamashaa, is not naive.
India has a part-time Raksha Mantri.
Trust deficit or dearth of talent in union cabinet.
Why could PM not double as RM ?
Decision taking is centralised in PMO, anyway.
And, we call ourselves Deshbhaktas?
India, a land of paradoxes, must remain united.

HomeAnimalsPredator Prey Relationship - Examples
Predator Prey Relationship - Examples
Ency 123 October 25, 2013
The world is a dangerous place for most animals.
Many need to defend themselves against other animals that want to eat them.
Definition of prey
An animal that is hunted, killed, and eaten by another is called prey.
Definition of predator
Animals that hunt prey are called predators.
Predator prey relationship examples
Some animals are able to disguise, or camouflage, themselves as a protection against predators.
But there are many other ways in which an animal can defend itself.
One species of lizard, the leaf-tailed gecko of Australia, has a tail that looks like its head!
You can imagine how confusing this must be for the lizard's enemies. If a predator grabs this gecko by the tail, the tail breaks off, and the gecko can escape. Later, a new tail will grow.
Birds that nest on the ground are usually camouflaged.
Goatsuckers (also known as nightjars) and whippoorwills look like a pile of dead leaves. Ringed plovers look like the pebbles on the beaches where they nest.
Goatsucker
A certain group of lizards, called chameleons, can change the shading of their skin color to match their surroundings and confuse their enemies.
For example, green chameleons can change from light green to dark green.
Green chameleon
Camouflage can help some predators to get near their prey without being seen. The tiger's stripes help it to blend in with the tall grasses of its hunting ground.
Polar bears have white fur to match the snow.
Some animals, including opossums and snakes, pretend to be dead when they are in danger.
Most predators prefer live prey, so they leave the "dead" animal alone.
Other snakes defend themselves with poisonous bites.
Armadillos and pangolins are two species of animals that roll up into a ball when in danger.
This protects the soft undersides of their bodies. Both animals have a thick coat of armor made of bony plates on the outside of their bodies.
When predators come close, porcupines and hedgehogs might also defend themselves by rolling up into a ball. Such a ball of needle-sharp quills scares away many predators.
Porcupines have a painful and effective way of dealing with predators. They have spines called quills, that drop out easily.
When a porcupine is threatened, it may run backward toward its enemy. Quills get stuck in the predator's nose and face or other part of the body, giving the porcupine a chance to run away.
The skin of animals that are poisonous to eat is often brightly colored.
The bright colors of the arrow-poison frogs of South America warn predators to keep away!
Some salamanders ooze poisons from their skin when they are in danger.
When the prickly puffer fish is frightened, it can blow itself up to twice its normal size.
Most predators don't want to eat a prickly balloon. Its flesh is usually poisonous, too!


ina is one of the most populated country in the world with almost 2 billion inhabitants. Each year, more than 7 million of students are gratuated and only 1/3 find a job. There is a dizzy problem of employment. The employment market is more and more stuggled. That's why, a lot of student prefered to build their own business. Entrepreneurship is becoming a solution to reduce the stress of all this students.
The quality of the degrees in China is know all over the world. In China, the number of graduated students growth, they have very good degrees and skills to be very performant on the employment market. However, it's not the case. The growing of high level degrees didn't create more qulaified employments. Lot of students have to reduce their employment requirements because they don't find a job. Where is the promise did by univertsities to students? In few years, the number of students having a non qualified job doubled. A huge problem that concern not only students but every chinese people.
Entrepreneurship is becoming the solution in China. Lot of students prefer create their own company than be unemployed or have a non qualified job. The government and universities encourage this practice and help students in their business creations.
Most of the start-ups are openend in Zhuhai. It's the city which has the most importante number of start-ups in China with around 2800 new start-ups every year. This city has a high number of start-ups because there are a lot of very good universities, it's on of the most rich city of China and its geographic situation is perfect (close to Macao and in front of HongKong and Shenzhen).
Besides, government encourage the students to build their own business by reducing the companies's tax.
More and more Schools & university encourage their Student to Launch companies in China, and specially in Shanghai.
But, create a start-ups it's not so easy. Today in China, it's becoming the new way but teachers are a bit affraid about all this students who want to create their business. Create a business it's easy but it's hard to keep it open.
Lot of teachers and school directors warn students about risks to create your own business.
For Universities it's a good economic opportunity that's why they help students.
To reduce this lack of knowleadges of business creation, universities and governement work together to help the students. The governement reduce the company tax during the first 3 years, if they are 3 new graduated students in the company, they can request for an annual help of 481$ USD and governement ask them to follow an education in university to know more about the basic-skills to open your start-ups.
One amazing thing, in a country where sucess, ranking and have a good job to make money are very important, parents encourage their kids when they decided to enter in this perious adventure. Parents are often the first investors.
Cai Yutie, is 23 year old. He was student in Journalism in Zhuhai University. With a friend, they decided to open a shop in Zhuhai which offers women clothes and accessories. Their shop GreatMe is quickly becoming popular because it's modern, when you enter in the shop, light is perfect and music trendy. For the moment, they don't make a lot of money but it paid bills and rent.
For Cai Yutie, chinese student prefer create their own business because they are often bored in the traditionnal system which no longer reply to their expectations. That's why they prefer create a start-ups, there are more free and can be very creative and express themselves. The chinese society is see by this students as a drag to their ambitions.
Wen Zibin is an other student-entrepreneur graduated from the Shenzhen University. This 22 year old man started by working in a company thanks to his parents relationships. But he quickly feel bored because the job is less qualified that he can do and not very creative. With two others friends, they also decided to open a shop : Momo, a cake shop. Their cakes are very appreciated by young people. They decided to followed a new education in pastry to develop their business and attract new consumers.
Wen say that it's not easy to keep open his shop. Sometimes he wants to give up because you have bills, not a lot of customers, administration issues, you feel stangled. But each time, they found a solution to solve their problem. It encouraged them to keep going.
The job market in China is a market arrived at maturation and now saturated. China each year has more and more young people graduated unemployed. This young people often leave because they are very stress to don't find a job. They moved abroad. But, a large part of them try to stay in their country and used their skills to develop their own business. The entrepreneurship is encourage by governement because its a solution to their problem of unemployment and students feel better. So everybody is happy.

Read Chapter 1 of 'The Extra Yard' by Mike Lupica
There are few books that accurately capture the grit, realism, competition and overall chaos of youth sports. But bestselling author Mike Lupica's Home Team series of novels is promising to become one of the best examples of believable and entertaining sports fiction.
The second novel in the series, The Extra Yard, tackles football as we learn more about Teddy as his friendship with Jack, Cassie and Gus continues off the baseball field and onto the football field. Here's the gist:
Last spring Teddy's life changed for the better. He started working out, shaping up, and even earned a spot on the Walton baseball team, and with the team he went all the way to the Little League World Series. But the best things to come out of that season were his friendships with Jack, Cassie, and Gus, and the confidence to finally try out for the sport he really loves—football. So when eighth grade begins, Teddy couldn't be more psyched.
Until his mom drops a bomb: his father—who left them a long time ago—is back in Walton and back in their lives. And Teddy isn't happy about it. As a former star football player at the school, Teddy's dad is thrilled to find out his son is going out for the team, but Teddy begins to wonder if his father only cares about him now because he's putting on the helmet. Can Teddy find a way to go the extra yard for the team and for himself, or is the distance between him and his father too much to overcome?

Listen to Chapter 1 of The Extra Yard
The Extra Yard
Teddy Madden felt better about himself than he ever had before. Even though he was scared out of his mind.
He was starting eighth grade next week, but he wasn't scared about starting another year in school. He was actually excited about that.
He was scared about football.
In two days he had tryouts for the Walton Wildcats, a new football team for the best kids his age, even though he had never played a game of organized football before.
He kept telling himself he was in the best shape of his life. In the past he'd joked that he had no shape, other than maybe a blob. He had a good attitude about sports for the first time. That was thanks to his friend Jack Callahan.
It was Jack who'd nominated himself last spring to become Teddy's personal trainer. Jack basically told Teddy he was going to get in shape or else.
Teddy hated the workouts at first. But slowly he came to like them, and then love them. Mostly he loved the way they made him feel good about himself. Before then, he just figured self-esteem was for somebody else's self. Not anymore. Teddy felt good, and not just about being in this kind of shape. He and Jack weren't just teammates. They were friends.
They were boys.
Teddy thought of himself as a whole new kid: Teddy Madden 2.0. So maybe it figured he would have new friends, too, like Jack and Gus Morales and Cassie Bennett. Cassie was the star of girls' sports in Walton the way Jack was for boys'.
Once Teddy started to get himself into shape, a lot of things began to happen, both in sports and in his life. For one thing, he ended up the catcher on the Walton baseball team, the Rays, which had made it all the way to the United States final of the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Everybody on the team would always think they would have won the final if Jack had been able to pitch. But the Rays needed him in the semifinal, where he'd pitched a one-hitter in beating a team from Toledo. In the final the Rays fell behind 7–1. They came all the way back to tie, before losing in the bottom of the last inning to a pretty great team from Las Vegas.
Because of the way they had come back, though, they left Williamsport feeling as if they'd won something. Teddy was pretty sure that in Walton, people who'd watched their games on ESPN would always remember the near no-hitter Jack had pitched, and that big comeback against Las Vegas.
"The more you play," Jack said when they got home, "you find out there's more than one way to keep score in sports."
That baseball season had started with the old Teddy, the out-of-shape and overweight Teddy. He was a blob-shaped spectator. But he had ended up in Williamsport, hitting a two-run double to tie Vegas at 7–7. It was the kind of hit you always dreamed about hitting, in the big game, on national television. Teddy Madden had gotten that hit. Even if it wasn't enough to win that game for his team, he'd still gotten that hit.
By then, nobody was calling him by his old nickname: Teddy Bear.
On the baseball field behind Walton Middle School, one that Jack and Teddy were now using to play football, Jack said to Teddy, "We're going to need a new nickname for you."
It was just the two of them on a Thursday morning, the end of the last week before school. They threw Teddy's new football around on a field that was so close to his house it was almost like an extension of his backyard.
They took a quick break after going at it hard for an hour, sat on the grass, and drank Gatorade out of the bottles they'd brought. Teddy knew their rest period wouldn't last long. It never did with Jack Callahan.
"The one nickname I had before was more than enough," Teddy said. "You know how big my mom is on gluten-free food? My plan is to be nickname free."
Jack acted as if he hadn't even heard him. "How about Teddy the Tiger?"
"You make me sound like I should be telling you to eat your cereal," Teddy said. "And really? A tiger on a team called the Wildcats?"
"Excellent point," Jack said. He thought for a moment, frowning. "How about Terrible Ted?"
"Would I have to carry one of the Steelers' Terrible Towels?"
"This might turn out to be harder than I thought."
"You're not hearing me," Teddy said. "I don't want a nickname. And by the way? You seem to be surviving without a nickname, except when Gus calls you Star."
"Which I hate."
"The way I hated Teddy Bear!" Teddy said. "It always made me feel like I was the class mascot, not just the class clown."
"I never thought you were either one," Jack said. "I always thought there was a warrior waiting to break out."
"A warrior?" Teddy said. "Are we getting ready to play football games, or video games? What do you think this is, Call of Duty?"
"Little bit," Jack said.
"Still don't know why you thought of me that way," Teddy said "A would-be warrior."
"I'm very observant," Jack said.
"So you can probably use those powers of observation to see how nervous I am about the day after tomorrow."
"You're going to make the team."
"You say."
"I know," Jack said.
"What if I start dropping passes all over the place?"
"You don't drop them when I throw them to you here, you're not going to drop them at Holzman."
Holzman Field was the field where the Wildcats would play their home games, in a brand-new elite league for their part of the country called All-American Football. The kids who didn't make the Wildcats would play on Walton's Pop Warner team.
"I wish I was as confident in me as you are," Teddy said.
"But even if I don't make the Wildcats, at least I know I'll get to play Pop Warner."
Jack said, "You know that nickname you just said you hated? Let's not turn back into that guy now."
He casually reached over with his right fist. Teddy knuckle-bumped him.
"Okay?" Jack said.
"I'm still nervous."
"There's a good nervous in sports," Jack said. "I feel it all the time."
"You don't show it."
Jack laughed. "Clearly you're not as observant as I am."
"How do you tell the difference between nerves and choking?"
Jack shrugged. "No clue," he said. "Choking's not in my vocab. And it's not gonna be in yours."
As good as Jack was in sports, he was even better as a friend.
Teddy didn't care that Gus and Jack had been friends longer, or that Jack and Cassie were as close as a boy and girl could be without being boyfriend and girlfriend, at least not yet. When it came to Jack, Teddy just knew the most important thing you could know:
He could count on Jack.
And Jack knew he could count on Teddy.
Maybe it was because they'd been through so much together in a year. Teddy had been there for Jack when he'd briefly quit the baseball team, back when Jack was still blaming himself for the death of his older brother, Brad, in a dirt-bike accident, even though it wasn't Jack's fault at all.
But even while that was going on, and as much pain as Jack was in, it was Jack who stepped up one day at gym class and told the other guys to stop picking on Teddy because of his weight. Then he hadn't just helped Teddy to get into really good shape, he'd also helped Teddy find the confidence to face down his fears. And there were a lot of them at the time: fear of sports, fear of making friends, even a fear of heights.
Jack was also the first person Teddy had ever opened up to about his fear of being different from most of the kids he knew because he'd grown up without his dad around. His parents had divorced when Teddy was barely four years old, and his father moved all the way across the country to Oregon. Teddy saw him once a year, if that.
It was why Teddy had always made jokes like some kind of shield. In the process he had also kept other kids from getting close to him. At least until Jack had come along. He hadn't given Teddy much of a choice. They were going to be boys, Teddy just had to deal with it.
Now here they were, just the two of them, halftime in another one of their workouts. Sometimes Gus would join them. But he couldn't today: he had a doctor's appointment for his school physical. Jack and Teddy were planning to meet up with Gus and Cassie later and figure out how they wanted to spend one of their last days of summer vacation.
There was no real plan. They didn't need one, and that was one of the best parts of summer. It was practically a rule that you had nowhere you really needed to be until the first day of school. Or the first day of football practice.
Provided you made the team, of course.
This year Teddy couldn't separate the start of school and the start of football in his head. He'd been marking time from the end of baseball—and the parade down Main Street in Walton the mayor had organized for them when they'd gotten home from Williamsport—until football tryouts at Holzman.
Even with his great spring and summer in baseball, from the time he'd started working out with Jack, his dream was to be a football player.
In two days he would officially get his chance.
Football was why he had pushed himself to get into shape. Football was Teddy's goal. Jack said you needed to set goals for yourself in sports. He was sure Teddy would be the starter for the Wildcats at tight end.
He told him that again now.
"How about I just make the team first?" Teddy said.
"You're going to make the team, you're going to start, you're going to be one of my primary receivers."
"Have you been out in the sun too long today?" Teddy said. "Are you starting to feel light-headed?"
Jack shrugged. "Make your little jokes," he said. "My parents just say I'm highly motivated."
"Or maybe just dehydrated?" Teddy said.
"You want to have that attitude?" Jack said, picking up the ball and jumping to his feet.
"Go long, sucker."
Teddy tossed his Gatorade bottle aside. "I can do that," he said.
Running came easily to Teddy now, after all the laps he and Jack had been running on the track. Jack had even gotten Teddy doing his interval training: sprinting, then slowing down to a jog, then sprinting even harder than before.
When they'd finished the first time, Teddy had said to Jack, "I used to think intervals were just the time between snacks."
But in the late morning, the sun already high in the sky, Teddy ran as hard as he could, from rightfield toward left. He knew it was impossible to outrun Jack Callahan's right arm. So he just put his head down, trusting Jack would let him know when he should turn back for the ball.
"Now!" he heard Jack yell.
Teddy turned back and looked up at the same time, saw the ball in the air, another perfect spiral. He reached for it, secured it with his big hands—"mitts," Jack called them—and then pulled the ball tight to his chest.
Teddy kept running with the ball until he reached the fence in the left-field corner. In that moment he just wanted to keep going, run through the fence or try to jump over it. The feeling he had, he wanted that feeling to last, he wanted to imagine the green grass out here stretching out in front of him forever. You always heard the announcers on television talking about receivers "running in space." That was what Teddy felt then. Like he was the one running in space.
Or just floating through it.
From the across the field Jack shouted, "Are you planning on coming back anytime soon?"
"If I come back," Teddy shouted back, "I know what you're going to say."
"Go long again."
"Exactly!" Jack said.
When Teddy got back to him, he said to Jack, "You went a lot easier on me when you felt sorry for me."
"No way," Jack said. "You didn't need me to do that, because you were too busy feeling sorry for yourself."
"Excellent point."
The truth was, and they both knew it, they were both feeling pretty sorry for themselves when they first became friends, even though they didn't know that was what they were doing at the time. There was the day when Jack just got tired of the other guys picking on Teddy, how funny the other guys thought it was when Teddy ended up on the floor during a game of dodgeball. Jack went over and helped Teddy up, in more ways than one.
But around the same time, Teddy helped Jack get up too and stop blaming himself for his brother's accident. Teddy finally helped convince Jack that Brad Callahan, as reckless as he was, with dirt bikes and everything else, was an accident waiting to happen. Jack didn't need anybody to pick on him, because he was doing way too good a job beating himself up.
"I found out the hard way," Jack liked to say now. "It's not about getting knocked down, it's how you get back up."
He and Teddy had done that.
Jack threw Teddy another deep ball, telling him to angle toward the infield this time, like he was running a deep post pattern. On this one, Teddy had to slow down a little to catch the ball in stride.
"Arm getting a little tired there," he said.
"We'll see how tired I look the next time I knock you over with a short pass," Jack said.
That was the thing about Jack. As cool a kid as he was, he was cocky, too. He just managed to do a good job hiding it from people. But it was always there.
"I take it back!" Teddy said, laughing. "Please don't hurt me!"
Teddy knew the drill with Jack Callahan: you were never just throwing the ball around. There was a purpose to everything he did. To him, this was a real practice. So they ran some short slants, the ones Jack was sure would be in their playbook this season. Jack practiced taking a one-step drop after being snapped the ball by an imaginary center, straightening up, hitting Teddy in the gut with passes that sometimes knocked the wind out of him.
They alternated those with quick outs. Then Jack told Teddy to go deep again. When they decided to stop for good, they stretched out on their backs in the outfield grass, both out of breath.
They were silent for a while, feeling the sun on their faces, until Jack said, "How much taller are you than when you started seventh grade?"
"My mom says four inches. Maybe five."
"You, my friend, are going to be a matchup nightmare. You're built like a tight end, but you're as fast as a wide receiver."
"How about we find out if I can catch like this at the tryouts before you send me to the Hall of Fame in Canton?" Teddy said. "Did it ever occur to you that maybe I'm not ready for this? It's not like I made the baseball team. I just turned out to be an emergency catcher after Scott Sutter got hurt."
Jack propped his head up in his hand and looked at him. "Blah, blah, blah," he said. "When the old Teddy starts talking, I can't hear a word."
Teddy nodded. "Old habits."
"Forget about old habits, or the old Teddy. You can do this. We can do it together."
"We're a team now."
"Just like baseball," Jack said. "I pitch, you catch."
Jack said he'd wait while Teddy dropped the ball off at his house, and then they'd call Gus and Cassie and meet them at Cassie's. Teddy ran the short distance to his house, the ball under his arm again. He smiled as he ran, knowing he should feel tired, but not feeling tired at all.
He just felt happy.
At least he did until he got to his back porch, looked up, and saw his father standing there.
"Hey, champ," David Madden said.

England can use the "hatred" from their Six Nations rivals as an extra motivating factor, says head coach Eddie Jones.
The Australian said he can "feel" the "long-seated rivalry" towards England as they prepare to face Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday (16:50 GMT).
It is his first home match after away wins over Scotland and Italy.
"Maybe Clive Woodward summed it up best when he said everyone hates England - that's true," Jones said.
"I'm not going to use it, but within the side they can use it. As I said when I took over, I'm not English, I'm Australian, but I will be absolutely committed to them."
Jones also said he sees Leicester centre Manu Tuilagi's future for England in the 12 shirt, once he is fully back to match fitness as he continues his return for Tigers after long-term injury.
"Inside centre is his best position," said Jones. "He's not a 13. That's what I know he's not. He's definitely a 12. He can carry the ball across the gain line.
"He threw a beautiful left to right pass on Friday night. Then he threw a terrible right to left. So maybe he's left handed!
"He's got all the attributes to be an outstanding 12."
England are level with France at the top of the Six Nations table, ahead on points difference after two games.
Jones continued to insist his side was a "work in progress" but praised his players for "commitment", "taking initiative" and "being independent".
He is also preparing England for an aerial bombardment from two-time defending champions Ireland, adding: "They kick 70% of their ball away. If they want to do that, good luck to them.
"It has worked for them. It is not the way I think you should play rugby, but it has been successful for them, so good luck."
