At Alo House Recovery Centers, we take pride in our award-winning Malibu treatment center that was founded on a compassionate care model.
The mission of Alo House Recovery Centers is to use 'connection, not control' to help our clients achieve autonomy, empowerment, and a sense of community. Southern California is dynamic and unique. We are happy to offer clients a variety of facility locations to suit lifestyle and convenience and help foster their recovery.
The Alo House Los Angeles Drug Rehab Treatment Center provides a convenient location in Silverlake for outpatient and sober living.
In beautiful Mar Vista we have licensed facilities for medical detox services and residential treatment.
These locations are close to downtown Los Angeles and the surrounding areas of Hollywood, Glendale, Pasadena, East Los Angeles, and other nearby cities such as Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Culver City, and Venice.
It's essential to match the specific needs of each person with the levels of care that offer the best chance of success in recovery.
Upon entering our program, a certified substance use professional performs an evaluation to determine the proper level of care. Then a unique recovery plan is designed for them which is most appropriate for their specific circumstances.
Our Compassionate Care model was created to help each individual heal in a safe and comfortable environment. This promotes healthy recovery from substance addiction.
The goal of Holistic addiction treatment is to treat the person as a whole, rather than just the symptom of addiction. Each client is unique, with his or her own distinct history related to their substance use. Therefore, we design individualized treatment plans based on their needs.
In order to do this, several different treatment modalities are utilized. Some of these modalities include CBT, Mindfulness Based Therapy, DBT, Art Therapy, and Experiential Therapy.
For the most part, we are a non-12 step treatment center, but we understand that 12 step programs can be an important resource and have helped many people achieve sobriety from alcohol and drugs. We offer 12-step meetings, and alternative 12 step meetings. We also provide a range of healing and recovery related activities for all of our clients.
We understand there are many paths to achieving sustainable recovery. We encourage clients to choose the best past for themselves which receiving support and guidance from our certified and licensed staff of substance use professionals.
What are the Benefits of Alternative Treatment Programs?
For some struggling with substance addiction, it may be necessary to stay away from home in order to separate themselves from the lifestyle they have been living. This is sometimes called in-patient treatment and includes the residential treatment levels of care.
This is a higher level of care for people who are currently using drugs or alcohol and require an extensive period of time to quit substances while being supervised by a qualified team of experts.
Sometimes, detox is required before beginning residential treatment. Drug and alcohol detox is a period of time when the body rids itself of the associated toxins. It's important that detox takes place under the supervision of trained medical professionals.
After detox has been safely completed, people begin to participate in groups and individual therapy sessions. Then they can begin uncover the underlying issues of their addiction and begin their recovery.
Outpatient treatment is an alternative option to our residential program. This is ideal for people in Los Angeles who live near our facility and will benefit from all the elements of our program during the day, while staying in the comfort of their own home at night.
This may be an option for young adults who work or go to school on a daily basis. They can continue their every day routine while receiving treatment at the same time.
The outpatient treatment level of care can be recommended after a thorough substance use evaluation by a certified professional. Then it can be determined whether this type of treatment is a safe and appropriate level of care for the client.
The Alo House Los Angeles outpatient treatment center provides recovery programs that are designed to meet each individual's needs.
Dual Diagnosis, sometimes referred to as a co-occurring disorder, is a substance use disorder (addiction) combined with a mental health issue (depression, anxiety, ADHD). This makes recovery complex, because both issues, addiction and mental health, must be treated at the same time for recovery to be successful.
Statistics show that individuals that undergo integrated dual diagnosis treatment attain a more lasting and successful sobriety. In treating the two disorders simultaneously, the root cause of an addiction can be determined allowing for long-lasting recovery.
Aftercare support is an important aspect of recovery and relapse prevention. Studies show that the longer a person stays in treatment, the more long term success they will see in recovery.
When a client leaves our intensive treatment programs it is important to set them up in an aftercare program to support their recovery and add to the success of their treatment episode. We offer an individualized aftercare program for our clients.
Our comprehensive program offers a variety of therapies and counseling in order to assist in self-esteem building, staying substance free, and living a joyful life in recovery. Each specific program is built to suit their needs and daily routine. Some treatment programs include meditation, yoga, acupuncture and equine therapy, as well as many other alternative methods.
Other aspects of aftercare support include group and individual counseling, educational and vocational counseling for help with school or finding work, and assistance with housing.
Treatment is the first step in recovery. After care planning gives our clients the support of counselors and others in recovery who can guide them as they embark on a new life of sobriety. Aftercare programs and sober living options are crucial pieces that can make recovery successful.

Public service wage talks continue
24 March 2015 • Local, News	• No Comments
Public service unions affiliated to the Congress of SA Trade Unions on Tuesday said they were continuing wage talks with government.
Negotiations were earlier abandoned after the two sides failed to reach an agreement, the SA Democratic Teachers' Unions (Sadtu) said in a statement on behalf of the other unions.
"After much delay from the employer, the negotiations came to a halt in the early hours of Monday," Sadtu deputy general secretary Nkosana Dolopi said.
"The meeting went on until 2.30am in the morning, with labour insisting on negotiating for a better deal, an approach that was met with an arrogant and intransigent attitude of the employer," he said.
The unions involved were the Sadtu, the National Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union, the Democratic Nursing Organisation of SA, the SA Medical Association, the SA Social Workers' Union, and the Public and Allied Workers' Union of SA.
When negotiations started in September, unions demanded a 15 percent salary hike for all government workers. They also wanted a R3000 housing allowance in the absence of a government employees' housing scheme, which was to be delinked from each spouse employed in the public service.
The unions also wanted 10 working days leave for parents with children with disabilities, and a bursary scheme for government employees' children.
Earlier this month, the unions revised their demands to a 10 percent increase and a R1500 housing allowance. The current agreement in place expires on March 31.
During Monday's negotiations, the government offered a five percent increase for the current financial year and CPI plus 0.5 percent in the next two financial years. The unions rejected this.
"It must be noted that labour is fully committed to engage the employer seven days a week until the settlement is reached," Dolopi said.
"At the same time, as labour, we will be engaging with our members to comprehensively engage with them on what is transpiring in the negotiations."
Talks resume on Wednesday. SAPA

The Anderson Files
Fighting the Gentleman's Insurrection
Dave Anderson
The House committee to investigate the violent January 6 attempted coup d'etat is in a race against time. If the Democrats lose the House in the 2022 midterms, it is almost certain that the Republicans will immediately kill the probe. Trump and his allies are impeding the effort by throwing up as many roadblocks as possible.
The Republicans blocked an attempt to establish a bipartisan commission such as the one that investigated the 9/11 attacks. That panel ran from November 2002 to August 2004.
Meanwhile, a quieter Gentleman's Insurrection is underway.
Some 19 Republican-dominated state legislatures have passed laws making it harder for Democratic friendly folks to vote, and, in some cases, they got rid of nonpartisan election officials and replaced them with partisan hacks. In Georgia, Republicans in the legislature changed the law to enable them to purge black Democrats from county election boards.
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is at the center of this well-organized effort. ALEC is a shadowy group of state legislators backed by major corporations. They have provided fill-in-the-blank "model bills" on wide variety of issues.
Many years ago,The Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) obtained copies of over 800 bills approved by corporations. CMD president Lisa Graves noted that ALEC "task forces target legal rules that reach into almost every area of American life: worker and consumer rights, education, the rights of Americans injured or killed by corporations, taxes, health care, immigration, and the quality of the air we breathe and the water we drink." John Nichols of The Nation said the bills reflected ALEC's long-term goals of "downsizing government, removing regulations on corporations and making it harder to hold the economically and politically powerful to account." Today ALEC as well as other powerful forces like the Koch network are pushing the hysteria about "critical race theory" and leading the protests against vaccines and public health efforts to combat COVID-19.
The CMD has determined that more than 100 Republican politicians connected to ALEC in six battleground states were lead sponsors or co-sponsors of voter suppression bills. This legislation, among other things, reduced the number of early voting days, eliminated "no excuse" absentee voting, and reduced the number of voting ballot boxes.
Racism has driven voter suppression. Historian Heather Cox Richardson notes that "before the 1965 Voting Rights Act there were majority-Black counties in the South in which not a single Black person voted. In 1946, for example, 14,394 white people and 38,970 Black people lived in Leflore County, Mississippi. Of those folks, 4,345 white people were registered to vote, and they carried elections, since the 26 Black people registered to vote did not risk their safety by casting a ballot."
Then in 2013, the Supreme Court gutted a key section of the Voting Rights Act ruling that states with a long history of voting discrimination no longer needed to get federal approval for changes to their election procedures. Then 26 states enacted new restrictions on voting
However, voter suppression isn't only a black issue. Poor and low income people of all races are hurt when mail-in ballots and early voting are eliminated or cut back. In a 1965 speech on voting rights, Martin Luther King said Jim Crow laws oppressed poor whites as well.
"…Racial segregation as a way of life did not come about as a natural result of hatred between the races immediately after the Civil War. … the segregation of the races was really a political stratagem employed by the emerging Bourbon interests in the South to keep the southern masses divided and southern labor the cheapest in the land. You see, it was a simple thing to keep the poor white masses working for near-starvation wages in the years that followed the Civil War. Why, if the poor white plantation or mill worker became dissatisfied with his low wages, the plantation or mill owner would merely threaten to fire him and hire former Negro slaves and pay him even less."
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights of 1964 were hard-won victories. People were beaten and murdered in the struggle. But King knew those laws weren't enough. He asked, "What good is having the right to sit at a lunch counter if you can't afford to buy a hamburger?"
He wanted to unite the poor of all races with a Poor People's Campaign. He began to define himself as a democratic socialist. If he were alive, he would say that 'Build Back Better' is absolutely necessary but only a beginning.

'Smart' Helmet Does More Than Protect Your Head
By Michelle Bryner 21 July 2010
A safety helmet equipped with special sensors could let you know how banged up you really are after a fall.
While an aching head may seem an obvious indicator of injury, athletes don't always recognize the severity of damage, and when they do it's sometimes too late.
Developed for skiers, the helmet contains seven accelerometers – sensors that measure changes in velocity – that continuously monitor the forces experienced by the head. For example, if a skier were to take a tumble, the sensors in the helmet would keep a record of the forces exerted on the head as a result of the body's acceleration during the fall.
"If the level of acceleration for some reason goes above a certain range, [the helmet] is supposed to make an alerting sound or light up a LED," said Sinan Muftu, professor at Northeastern University. For now, Muftu and his students have developed a prototype, which does not yet have the LED electronics embedded.
A sporting goods manufacturer, Riddell, currently sells a similar type of football helmet, which measures impact data and sends this information wirelessly to the sidelines where computers are being monitored by medical staff. Riddell's helmet sells for $1,030.99.
"Our helmet could have a wider use because it could be made cheaper," Muftu told TechNewsDaily. "It could be a more accessible version even to high school football players."
Predicting severity
The ski accident that led to the death of actress Natasha Richardson last year was not benign, as the actress reportedly first thought.
"How much the brain is injured as in Ms. Richardson's case is very difficult to predict," said Alexander Rotenberg, a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School who is working with Muftu to develop the new helmet.
"Patients can feel okay and have a life-threatening injury or patients can be unconscious and have either a life-threatening or non-life threatening injury but simply not be aware of it."
A helmet would most likely have prevented the injury, but in the case that it didn't, a 'smart' ski helmet would have alerted Richardson to the severity of the fall, Rotenberg said.
To test the helmet, Muftu and his students built "a big gizmo that has the mass of a person" and a head, the size and thickness of a skull, filled with a liquid sac to simulate the brain, Muftu said. While wearing the helmet, which was wired to a computer, the dummy was dropped from different heights.
The results of the dummy experiment showed a "good correlation" between what the helmet identified as a severe injury compared to that of their computer model, Muftu said.
At this point, Muftu sees the ski helmet as a lab tool and not a consumer product. The helmet will likely aid in Muftu's work with Rotenberg to study traumatic brain injury – the kind that doesn't cause obvious brain tissue damage – within the first 24 hours of impact.
The hope is to understand what's happening at the microscopic level in order to come up with a way to prevent potential brain damage.

Despite the American influence, Evan's is a Taiwanese outfit through and through. This doesn't make it a bad place to eat as such, although don't expect everything on the menu to be what you think it is.
The menu consists of a wide range of appetizers (we didn't try any of them), salads, sandwiches, burgers (of course), fajitas, hot dogs and "steaks". There's also a breakfast/brunch menu.
I ordered a chili beef burger and Brenda ordered a tornado beef burger which comes with onion rings. The good news is that all the burgers come with fries and a drink. Considering that most seem to cost between NT$220-250, this is quite reasonable. The jumbo and super jumbo burgers are of course more.
The not so good part was the buns, as they were the typically sweet kind of bread you get in Taiwan and even Brenda complained about it and she normally likes sweet bread. As my chili burger had enough jalapenos on it, I didn't really notice it after a couple of bites. Vegetables come on the side and consisted of some pickles, a couple of tomato slices and some lettuce. The onion rings were also awful, they tasted very greasy and like they'd been sitting since the day before and they weren't crispy at all. The fries were pretty decent, somewhat similar to the stuff you get in Burger King.
At under NT$500 for the two of us, Evan's is cheap and cheerful if not great. My only concern was that of what I saw in the kitchen, where a guy had a big pot full of chicken on the floor and loading them into a tray. The floor was anything but clean and who knows what the rest of the kitchen was like. I didn't see him drop any chicken on the floor, but I'm not keen on the way they interacted with the food in the kitchen. I don't think we'll be back in a hurry and there are a lot of choice when it comes to burger places in Taipei now.
You can find Evan's burgers website here and I've added a map marker on the FindIT map. It's near ShiDa road.
So, we've been to Gordon Biersch a few times already, but I've only now gotten around to writing about it. The place is located rather oddly on the second floor in the number 11 Mitsukoshi store in the Xinyi shopping district right next to a bunch of clothes shops, but although first impression might be a bit odd, once you get inside, it's just like any other restaurant.
The first time we went I wasn't that impressed by the food, as I ordered cajun jambalay pasta and it was a bit to messy and not saucy enough in my opinion. The second time I was there with some friends and had a pulled pork sandwich which was really tasty and I've been back for that on a second occation. Last time both of us had fish, which was ok, but not quite what I expected from reading the menu. The food in general seems to be decent and they have huge burgers, although I have yet to try them, although a friend of mine had one and he didn't manage to finish his. I'd also like to try out their steaks, but they seem a bit on the expensive side.
But what this place is really good at is dessert, it might sound strange that a German/European style American restaurant with its own micro brewery in Taiwan that focuses on selling good beer, would have excellent dessert. Personally I don't care about the beer, but a few friends of mine said it was pretty good. However, dessert… they have huge slices or portions of whatever you order and thier carrot cake is just massive, there was no way I was going to finish that off. At the moment they've got a cherry and apple strudle special with ice cream that's really good and Brend is hooked on their chocolate peanut butter pie. The warm apple bread pudding is also excellent, but I'd suggest skipping the cheese cake, as it really wasn't anything special.
Overall Gordon Biersch have been a positive experience and we'll be back for more. They've got a website here. You might have to call ahead and book a table during busy Friday night and weekend evenings, but otherwise they always seem to have plenty space.
Debbie's is a smallish American style diner that opened up in Taoyuan in June 2008. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed and it's tastefully decorated, in as much as you can decorate a diner. The owner speaks English and they seem to cater both to the locals and the foreigners in Taoyuan. The place is small, but it doesn't feel cramped and there's around 10 tables, all of which seat four.
Debbie's serves brunch until 14.00 although we missed that today, but the rest of the menu has a decent selection of burgers, sandwiches, burritos and some other stuff as well. The whole menu isn't available on the website and in addition to the brunch items listed they also have pancakes. The drinks are large and they serve Root Beer which isn't very common in Taiwan.
I ordered the beef burritos and Brenda got the bacon sandwich and a side of buffalo wings. The bacon sandwich came with a side of freshly made fries and they were really good and the sandwich was quite tasty as well. The buffalo wings were a bit dry, but came with a side of ranch dressing. The burritos were big, but not very authentic, although they had refried beans a bit of mince, sour cream and a side of salsa, so no major complaints for the price.
The total came up to NT$590 which has to be considered reasonable for what we ordered, as most western style places in Taiwan are expensive for no good reason. We'll definitely go back and try the brunch next time. You can find Debbie's website here. Debbies is located about 5 minutes walk from Mitsukoshi in Taoyuan.
Update: Well, we went back for brunch this weekend and both of us ordered pancakes, although they normally come with a side of some kind of meat byproduct such as sausage, ham or bacon, but neither of us wanted that so Debbie kindly offered to give us a couple of extra pancakes. The only downside this time was that it took forever to get the food, the place was quite busy, but a couple that came after us got their burritos before we got our food. The pancakes were good, although you'll most likely have to ask for extra maple syrup as we didn't get enough, but that was most likely cause of the extra helping we got. Brenda also ordered a side of mash, which we had to remind them about, as it didn't turn up. The pancakes comes with a drink and are quite affordable at NT$110. We might yet be back one more time before we move from Taoyuan, as I think we'll need a hearty breakfast on Friday morning.

Timothy Evan Hoffman, age 27, of Hudson, WI died Sunday, March 31, 2019 at Regions Hospital in St. Paul, MN, from injuries received in a car accident. He was born on January 6, 1992 in River Falls, WI to Mark and Janet (Samarotto) Hoffman. He was a 2010 graduate of Hudson High School and graduated from Century College in mechanics and welding.
Timm started working when he was 17 at Swede's Station as a mechanic until two years ago when he went to work for Crown International as a forklift mechanic. He could fix most anything and if he didn't know how to do it, he'd figure it out with his logical precision. Timm spent every possible moment outdoors, whether hunting, fishing, off-roading, or just hanging out with his friends. He was a great teacher of all he knew. He was a natural at playing the guitar as well as cooking in the kitchen.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, John D. Hoffman, Bob Samarotto, Ann (Lee) Rossi.
Timm is lovingly survived by his mother, Janet Samarotto (Les Rhoads); his father, Mark (Patricia) Hoffman; his brother, Josh Hoffman (Paige Richardson); step-sisters, Amanda (Darren) Creason, Jessica (Brian) Mach, Jennifer (Brandon) Bosher; step-brother, Jacob (Brianna) Sass; grandmother, Barbara (Maury) Thompson; extended family and many friends; also most importantly his dog, Dakota.
A memorial service will be 11:00 am on Thursday, April 4, 2019 at the River Falls United Methodist Church, 127 South Second Street, River Falls, WI with a gathering of family and friends from 9:00-11:00 am. Luncheon to follow. There will be a more informal celebration of Timm's life at a later date, yet to be set.
Services have been entrusted to O'Connell-Benedict Family Funeral Home of River Falls, WI.
Janet, I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Janet we are all so sorry and thinking of you at the kinnic home.
So sad to hear of timms passing. My heart goes out to lacy and timms family in this very difficult time. He was really a great person and will be missed dearly.

▪ How much stock can you put into this offensive performance? Rider entered the game ranked outside the top 200 nationally in defensive efficiency. They are projected to be a middle-of-the-pack team in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. But Self still believed Monday's first half was his team's best half of basketball thus far.
For the game, the Jayhawks finished with 1.38 points per possession, more than double their feeble output against Kentucky (0.66). All week long, there had been a focus on the little things. Angles. Screens. Ball movement. After the game, Self pointed out that Kansas had 13 post touches during the first half. Against Kentucky, the Jayhawks had zero.
"Of course, we didn't have to score over sevenfoot," Self said, "and we weren't really pressured out, but I thought the guys did do a much better job of looking inside and feeding those guys. I think the ball movement was a lot better, and we actually screened a little better, too."
▪ Will Svi Mykhailiuk continue to start? After the game, Self revealed that his new-look starting lineup (Svi on the wing; Landen Lucas in the middle) was partially because of some "slippage" off the court. One example: Being late to tutoring.
But Mykhailiuk, a 17-year-old freshman, proved his value on Monday. He finished with 10 points, and his offensive rating (163) was second on the team behind sophomore Brannen Greene, who finished with 17 points. Mykhailiuk has the ability to shoot — something Kansas needs — but he also provides value as a ball-mover in the offense.
When the Jayhawks' offense is stagnant, Self will often say that the ball is "sticking". In three regular-season games, Mykhailiuk has shown himself most adept at rotating the ball around the perimeter and keeping the offense flowing. It sounds like a simple skill, but on a young team, his advanced court awareness stands out.
Self has also praised Mykhailiuk's positional defending; more times than not, he is in the right spot. That, along with his outside shooting potential, is one reason he'll likely see major minutes as the season progresses.
"He's going to be a great shooter," Self said. "He just hasn't got on a roll yet. But I think that Svi probably understands better than anybody maybe because of European ball that the ball needs to get from — if you can't do anything with it when you catch it, it needs to move, and he is the best we have at doing that."
▪ Is Kansas ready to play three games in four days? The Jayhawks will step on the accelerator this week, playing three games in four days at the Orlando Classic. Kansas opens against Rhode Island on Thursday; a victory would mean a matchup with either Tennessee or Santa Clara.
Self believes the game reps should be helpful. When asked about the heavy schedule, Self brought up a point from Monday's game. The Jayhawks' scouting report had a specific line about not letting Rider big man Matt Lopez turn over his left shoulder.
"The first three baskets he gets, he turns left shoulder," Self said.
"We are not a really a high IQ basketball group when it comes to really studying what helps us win," Self added.
▪ Sophomore guard Wayne Selden: It's not often that a Kansas team will win a game by 27 points while its starting two-guard goes scoreless. Selden, who finished with nine assists, played the role of facilitator, and he did it with a flourish. Selden said he was, in part, trying to set a good model for Kansas' younger players. In other words: You don't have to score to impact a game.
That was clear. But it's also clear that Selden is still learning how to play a leading role. When does he need to be aggressive? Should he hunt for shots? Put more energy on defense? So far, the transition hasn't been smooth. But without even making a shot, Selden was a big part of Kansas' offense on Monday.
One week ago, Perry Ellis was feckless against Kentucky's size, finishing with just four points. He had 17 points against Rider. But one dunk was louder than the others.
▪ 22 assists: The Jayhawks entered Monday with just 15 assists in two games; they matched that number during the first half against Rider before finishing with 22 assists for the game.

Jordan Barnett: Mizzou must improve defensively
West Virginia coach Bob Huggins vents about officiating after losing at KU
This previous KU weakness should be the team's greatest defensive strength in 2018-19
By Jesse Newell
This Bill Self-coached Kansas Jayhawks basketball team shouldn't just improve in one area defensively during the 2018-19 college basketball season; instead, it probably should be the best defensive rebounding team Self has ever had.

Home » FAQ » What type of sprayer can I use to apply PWS?
What type of sprayer can I use to apply PWS?
We recommend the use of high volume/low pressure spray equipment. It can be anything from a pump-up garden sprayer (with solvent resistant fittings) to a diaphragm pump rig. It really depends on the size of the project. If you have more than a couple of gallons to apply, you will want to use something more substantial than a 1 gallon pump up sprayer. Back pack sprayers work well for medium sized projects and a diaphragm pump unit would be preferred for large projects. The nice thing about the diaphragm pump units are the elimination of having to transfer product into another container. Most diaphragm units have a hose that you can drop into the pail.

July 1, 2020 July 1, 2020 Monthly Update
July Financial Update
It's July, and the the strangest summer I can remember is underway.
This month we finally have some federal tax deadlines, all ones that the IRS delayed in deference to the coronavirus outbreak. July marks the final push in federal tax season for individuals and nonprofits. For a full list of dates, see the IRS Tax Calendar:
IRS Extends deadline for tax payments to July 15 (COVID-19 response, IRS Tax Calendar).
The Form 990 for Nonprofits also has an extended deadline of July 15
The SBA released a report about the details of lending approvals through the program through June 27, and the amount of funding remaining.
The SBA also released updated guidance on forgiveness and loan review on June 26 as the program continues to evolve.
The Paycheck Protection Program's period and deadlines have been extended by the Flexibility Act of 2020. The best resources I know about for help with these for small business are the FMA PPP Toolbox for Nonprofits, the Freelancers Mutual Aid Circle, and the SBA's Coronavirus Small Business Guidance page.

Contest mobility refers to system of social mobility in which all individuals are seen as participants in a race where elite status is the end goal and the contest is an open one.  The idea is also sometimes referred to as tournament mobility. This serves in opposition to sponsored mobility, in which controlled selection is prevalent.

The definitive research article on the subject was published in 1960 by Ralph H. Turner.  Turner compared the American and British systems of secondary education and found the two to be markedly different.  He identifies the American system as one in which contest mobility is the norm.

In a system of contest mobility, equal footing among individuals is assumed as a given.  Achievement is attributed directly to the effort put in by each contestant. Skill is not as valued as enterprise or perseverance; a person of average intelligence who works hard is seen as more deserving of reward than someone who is the most intelligent and does not try. According to Turner, "the governing objective of contest mobility is to give elite status to those who earn it… Under the contest system society at large establishes and interprets the criteria of elite status."

These criteria are most commonly in the form of credentials, which are used by others to identify an individual's class. Examples of these can be material assets or skills.

Social control in a system of contest mobility is established by emphasizing a futuristic way of thinking and encouraging individuals to remember that they are competing for upward social mobility.  In doing this, social norms are cultivated and emphasized as well. Also, elite control is perilous, because any individual can be displaced at any time.

Turner found the results of contest mobility in the United States secondary school system to be a generally elevated sense of aspiration among students, in relation to actual opportunities available. He points out that, "under contest mobility in the United States, education is valued as a means of getting ahead, but the contents of education are not highly valued in their own right." This results in an emphasis on keeping all individuals in the contest (at least until the final stages) and offering extra help to those who fall behind, rather than allowing those who grasp the content to move quickly ahead and apart from the rest.

Looking past education to the realm of the working world, job success has also been studied in terms of contest vs. sponsored mobility.  In a study by Cable and Murray on mobility in the workplace, contest mobility is shown to emphasize equity and productivity, and individuals who show originality and innovation are rewarded.

Contest mobility is often tied to the idea of the American Dream, portrayed by figures such as Horatio Alger, who epitomize the notion that with hard work anything is possible.  In comparing contest mobility with sponsored mobility, Deborah Abowitz surveyed American college students and examined effects of family class position, income, gender, and other status variables in determining attitudes about the norm that exists in the U.S.

Abowitz studied college students instead of secondary students precisely because, "What brings college students' beliefs into question…is the effect of radical critiques of the system that they are often exposed to in college -- in courses which focus not on the rhetoric of an open class system but on evidence of social reproduction and the rising levels of inequality in wealth and income among Americans today."

Despite this point, the study concluded that college students do in fact believe in the American Dream and achievement ideology that is embodied in a system of contest mobility.  Students were shown to strongly support the statement that "One can live well in America" and also disagreed that family background was the most important factor in determining mobility.

Written Wednesday| Interview With Jonathan Stamper – SHORT LINE!
Jonathan Stamper has been singing since he was 4 years old. He plays several instruments, writes and produces original music, raps, and acts. Jonathan has toured Portugal and Spain in addition to singing backup for superstar recording artist Sting. Jonathan is not only the Flagship Artist but is also the Vice President of Artist Relations for Block IV Entertainment and CEO of Dominant Collective, a networking and artist development company built for empowering young artists. He has performed at many local community events such as the city of Newark's annual 24-Hours-of Peace event in which he wrote the song The Drug PSA. This song awarded members of Dominant Collective as the winners of the N.J. Shout Down Drugs competition.
If you are interested in hearing more of Jonathan Stamper, you can find his music on SoundCloud. Check out his album Summertime Vibes below. To find out more about him, continue reading!
Tell us about your collective (Dominant Collective) and the role you play in it.
Well basically, Dominant operates as a community of creative people. We all bring different skills and styles together to collaborate on all kinds of projects. I'm the leader, the CEO. I'm also the artist that connects the rest of the artists to opportunities that will help them further their career.
What are the biggest factors that played a part in your growth as a musician?
Meeting my stepdad for sure. He opened me up to so many different genres of music. He's also the person who got me to rapping and singing. I didn't think it was possible before he told me it could work.
As a rapper and singer, how have you struggled with trying to balance and/or blend the two?
I always struggle, haha.. my goal has really been to blend them to the point where I'm so fluent in both that I flow seamlessly from one to the other, like Spanish and English. For a long time the balance was so hard to strike. But, I think there isn't a perfect balance. You serve each song, album, and audience what they need at that given time. This makes every experience special.
How does your faith connect with your music?
It's really my foundation for everything. I try my best to tell honest stories and relate to everyone so everyone feels like they're heard and understood. But, ultimately, I want them to know there's hope at the end of every struggle we face. Jesus is that hope for me.
Tell us about your experience with connecting with the community in your hometown.
Honestly, I've always been about home. I want to travel the world, but the city that really shaped me is Newark. It made me who I am. I feel connected there forever so i want to represent them well. Not just that, but help to see the city thrive in any way possible.
How about outside of your hometown?
I want to connect to the world. At the end of it all, I want to have a reach that is so much greater than me. So, if I can affect communities all over the globe and leave my mark in a positive way, that's the best way to create a legacy that can stand the test of time.
You've performed at various venues across the country. How do you decide which venue is "worth" traveling out for?
It really depends on the kind of crowd, the influence of the event, and how much creative freedom i have. I just want to perform anywhere where true creativity is welcomed.
Your performances include a lot of high energy and crowd engagement. What is your advice to other artists in terms of being comfortable on stage and working a crowd?
If you're not nervous, you're in the wrong profession. But, know that once you start, you gotta be all in. Also, understand that every person won't accept what you offer or match your energy. But, be unapologetically you no matter what and people will respond.
What your favorite record you ever recorded?
That's hard man. All my songs are like my kids. But, if I had to choose one, it'd probably be a song called "Uptown". Even then, it would probably change if you asked me in a couple hours.
How important is it as an artist to have a manager and/or team behind you?
It's crucial. No man is an island. Even the most talented people can't see or perceive everything. We got to have people we trust to take on our vision and help us get to where we want to go. Otherwise, we won't accomplish anything of significance.
I think putting your spin on someone else's work is one of the most underrated forms of creativity. If you have a mind creative enough you can take anything and make it your own. Covers are one of the best ways to test those creative limits.
How does sampling music/songs inspire you?
Sampling always challenges my creativity. I want to invoke a feeling of nostalgia with innovation whenever I sample an artist. I want to connect their story to mine and the audiences. So, the sonics of it are just as important in crafting a story as lyrics because music can take you to a place. That's the beauty of sampling, taking you somewhere familiar and uncharted at the same time.
What should one look out for when doing something like this?
Be original. Don't just copy what was done. Add your sound and your touch to what they did. Also, do the sample and the artist justice. If you're going to take from their piece, make sure that it honors their work and is on par with it. That's the best way to do it.
Do you have any advice for someone interested in pursuing the arts as a career? How can one know this is what they want/what is meant for them?
The best advice I could give someone in that position is to figure out if you really want it or if you just want popularity and fame, because that's not enough to sustain you. You have to have a deep love for your craft and a security about yourself to be successful.


…before heading back inside for the wedding breakfast.
As the evening drew in, it was time for the cutting of the (very hard!) wedding cake and the first dance, all perfectly run by Pat from Dancefloor Couture.
So – thanks guys for having me on board. I loved being part of your wedding day!

Indians' Pitchers First Shut-Out Of The Season
Guest - June 9, 2011
Indianapolis Indians 1, Buffalo Bison 0
[ box ]
Four Indians pitchers combined to shut out the Bison at Coca Cola Park in Buffalo, NY -- the first time this season the Tribe has shut out their opponents. The four horsemen held the Bison to just 5 hits, and that was one more hit than the Tribe batters managed. After 7 scoreless innings, the Indians scored the only run of the game in the 8th.
The pitching duel began with Garrett Olson (photo) on the mound. Brad Lincoln had been scheduled to make the start today, but muscle strain in his neck, present for a couple of days now, forced him to miss his start. The possibility that today's game might have to be a bullpen game was part of the reason that manager Dean Treanor had Chris Leroux make another long (4 inning) relief appearance yesterday. Olson, just off the Disabled List, was able to step in for the emergency start, though it was stated in advance that he would be on a limit of about 50 pitches. Former Pirate DJ Carrasco made the start for Buffalo.
Olson gave up just two hits, both doubles to Bison 1B Lucas Duda. One double came in the 1st, with the line drive off the right field wall. The second double, in the 4th, slipped past the diving 1B John Bowker. The throw back in from RF Andrew Lambo nearly got Duda out at second, but it came in a little too far to the infield side of the second base bag. Both times Duda was left standing on second. Olson also walked 3B Michael Fisher in the 2nd inning, but erased him with a 6-4-3 (SS Chase d'Arnaud to 2B Shelby Ford to 1B Bowker) double play. He struck out 3 Buffalo batters, and threw 45 pitches (29 strikes).
The Indians also had three base runners in the early part of the game -- one in each of the first three innings -- but no hits. LF Alex Presley was hit on the right foot by a pitch in the 1st inning. C Eric Fryer walked with two outs in the 2nd and stole second base. Ford reached on a fielding error by Buffalo 2B Luis Hernandez in the 3rd inning. They too were all left on base.
Indians Stampede Bison
Indianapolis Indians 13, Buffalo Bison 4
The Indianapolis Indians exploded for two big innings, as they stampeded the Buffalo Bison at Coca-Cola Park in Buffalo, NY tonight. The Tribe took advantage of 3 physical errors, plus several mental errors by the Bison, and scored their 13 runs on only 10 hits, leaving only 2 runners on base.
Buffalo starter Josh Stinson faced the Indians on May 17th here in Indianapolis, and he did not have a good outing. He allowed 4 runs in the 1st inning, one in the 3rd, and 3 more in the 5th inning, as the Indians won the game 10-1, posting 16 hits. In that game, Stinson lasted 4.2 innings before being relieved.
Tonight, the Indians were even less kind to Stinson. He got through the 1st inning unscathed, allowing a single up the middle by SS Chase d'Arnaud, then removed d'Arnaud from the bases with a double play. It was in the 2nd inning that the wheels fell off for Stinson. 1B John Bowker began the fun with a double through into right field. 3B Matt Hague reached base safely when 1B Valentino Pascucci could not handle a low throw to first base, and Bowker moved to third base. RF Andrew Lambo bounced to Pascucci, who wanted to throw to the plate, but Pascucci hesitated and got himself set before making the throw. The hesitation was just enough to let Bowker slide into the plate ahead of the throw, for the Indians' first run. That left Hague and Lambo on base, and brought up C Eric Fryer. Fryer (photo) made it a 4-0 game when he took the first pitch he saw over the left field wall on a no-doubt-about-it 3-run homer.
CF Gorkys Hernandez followed the homer with a smash off the wall in the right-center gap, and raced all the way to third base, credited with a triple, when the Bison CF Fernando Martinez had trouble hitting his cut-off man on the throw in. Tribe starter Justin Wilson hit his second RBI double of the season into left field, scoring Hernandez easily. A wild pitch put Wilson on third base, and a walk to d'Arnaud gave the Indians runners on the corners. D'Arnaud stole second base on strike three when 2B Brian Friday struck out. LF Alex Presley walked to load the bases. That brought up Bowker again, and Bowker's second double of the inning, going into the left-center field gap, cleared the bases to give the Indians an 8-0 lead. That sent Stinson to the showers. Reliever Brian Sweeney got Hague to pop out, then former Indy Indian C Raul Chavez picked Bowker off second base to end the inning.
Presley's Pinch-Hit Triple Sparks 7th Inning Rally
"With the first pick in the 2011 draft, the Pirates take UCLA's RHP Gerrit Cole"
Indianapolis Indians 6, Syracuse Chiefs 4
A 7th-inning rally featuring a pinch-hit triple by Alex Presley gave the Indians the win over the Syracuse Chiefs at Victory Field tonight. Reliever Justin Thomas earned his 4th win, and closer Tim Wood earned his lucky 13th Save. 2B Brian Friday went 3-for-4 and all three hits were doubles, while SS Chase d'Arnaud and C Eric Fryer had 2 hits each.
In three of the past four games, the Indians had surrendered at least one run in the top of the 1st inning. Tonight, starter Brian Burres (photo) broke that tradition, even though the Chiefs threatened in the top of the 1st. 2B Matt Antonelli opened the game with a double over the head of Tribe 1B Miles Durham and down the right field line into the corner. Antonelli had to stay at second while Burres struck out CF Corey Brown and got RF Jesus Valdez to bounce into a ground out at second. Burres walked 1B Chris Marrero, then C Jesus Flores ripped a line drive into right field. It looked like both runners were going to have plenty of time to come around to score, but RF Andrew Lambo had other thoughts. He raced toward the line and made a diving catch as the line drive sank, to end the inning for Burres and the Tribe.
Tom Milone made the start for Syracuse and before he could get himself settled in on the mound, d'Arnaud rifled Milone's first pitch into the right center gap, all the way to the wall, and raced around to third base as the Chiefs' outfielders chased it down. Brian Friday quickly followed the lead-off triple with a double down the left field line, ending up the Indians' bullpen bench. That drove in d'Arnaud for a 1-0 lead.
Grand Slam Gives Chiefs The Restart; Homers For Fryer And Durham...
The Indians lost the suspended game, but won the regularly scheduled game.
Syracuse Chiefs 6, Indianapolis Indians 4 (completion of suspended game)
When we last left our heroes, trying to escape the pouring rain....
The Indians/Chiefs game was suspended after a 1 hour 44 minute wait last night. Tribe starter Sean Gallagher had given up a run in the top of the 1st, then the Indians took the lead in the 3rd on a single by CF Gorkys Hernandez, a triple by SS Chase d'Arnaud, and an error by the Syracuse 2B Tug Hulett. Syracuse tied the score in the top of the 6th on a solo homer by Hulett of reliever Chris Leroux. The top of the 7th began with Leroux still on the mound. He gave up a single and a sacrifice bunt, then was relieved by Justin Thomas. With the rain pouring down and the ball wet and slippery, Thomas hit both LF Gregor Blanco and CF Corey Brown with pitches to load the bases. Play was halted ...
The game restarted this afternoon at Victory Field, under overcast skies, with sprinkling rain that did not last long. Cesar Valdez (photo) took the mound for the Indians, with two outs and the bases loaded. 1B Chris Marrero stepped to the plate, and rocketed a grand slam over the left field wall, to give Syracuse a 6-2 lead.
The Tribe got two of the runs back in the bottom of the frame. Andrew Lambo, who had entered the game as a pinch-hitter for Gallagher and remained in the game in right field, opened the inning with a double into right field. After d'Arnaud struck out, 2B Brian Friday hit another double, just inside the first base bag and down the right field line, scoring Lambo. John Bowker, who had taken over left field at the restart, flied out. 3B Andy Marte blooped an RBI single into left field, bringing Friday around from second base to score. 1B Matt Hague also singled, and pinch-hitter Shelby Ford walked on four pitches to load the bases, but C Eric Fryer struck out on a checked swing, to end the rally.
Dan Meyer pitched the last two innings for the Indians. He struck out the first two batters in the 8th, then gve up a single to SS Matt Antonelli, then retired the next 4 Chiefs in order.
The Indians managed only one base runner over the last two innings -- Hernandez led off the bottom of the 8th with a double to the center field wall. The remaining 6 Tribe batters went down in order, and the Chiefs had the win.
Burres Shines But Tribe Shut Out
Starter Brian Burres threw 7 shutout innings, but got a no-decision.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees 1, Indianapolis Indians 0
A pitching duel did not end up in the Indians favor today, as the S/W-B Yankees took a one-game lead in this 4-game series at Victory Field. Tribe starter Brian Burres pitched an outstanding game, going 7 shutout innings, but left the game without any runs on the scoreboard, so he was not involved in the decision. Yankees' starter DJ Mitchell also pitched 7 scoreless innings, but earned the win. The game was scoreless until the starters were relieved in the 8th inning.
Burres scattered 3 hits and 2 walks over his 7 innings, while striking out 5 Yankees. He began his afternoon's work by retiring the first 6 batters he faced. He gave up doubles to 2B Kevin Russo to lead off the 3rd, and to SS Ramiro Pena in the 6th, but left both of them on base. Pena also singled in the 4th, dropping a liner into right-center field just out of the reach of CF Gorkys Hernandez. Burres picked Pena off first, then 1B Matt Hague threw to SS Brian Friday, who tagged out Pena as he tried to steal second base (photo). Burres walked 1B Jorge Vazquez in the 4th, but after Pena had been erased, and he walked LF Dan Brewer in the 5th. Both of those runners were left on base, too. Burres needed 98 pitches, with 58 hits, to get through his 7 innings.
Owens Can't Overcome Shaky First Inning
Shelby Ford's lead-off home run was a bright spot for the Indians.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees 10, Indianapolis Indians 3
A shaky first inning from Tribe starter Rudy Owens gave the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees a lead they would never give up, as the Indians lost at Victory Field tonight. Owens suffered his 4th loss of the season, and with the Tribe bullpen getting thin, outfielder Corey Wimberly made his professional pitching debut. The Yankees posted 17 hits and scored in every other inning.
It was a tough night for Owens (photo). He lasted 5 innings and allowed 7 runs on 10 hits and 2 walks. The first inning began with three consecutive hits: a double by CF Austin Krum, a single by SS Ramiro Pena, and a 2-RBI triple by C Jesus Montero. The triple hit near the top of the right field wall, over the leaping RF Miles Durham, who then crashed into the wall and fell to the ground, as CF Alex Presley chased down the ricochet. Montero held at third when 1B Jorge Vazquez grounded to third for the first out of the inning, then Owens walked LF Justin Maxwell.
Maxwell was leaning off first, and Owens' throw to first picked him off. Maxwell took off for second base. 1B Matt Hague took a quick look over at Montero on third to make sure he was not thinking of going home on the steal attempt. But that extra second it took Hague to look to third was enough so that the throw to SS Brian Friday, covering second, was a second too late. Montero made an awkward slide into second base and Friday's tag was late, and Montero was called safe (photos below). As Friday looked at the umpire in protest, Montero, still off balance, rolled off the base -- if Friday had held the tag, Montero would have been out.
After a strikeout by 3B Brandon Laird, DH Jordan Parraz lined a 2-RBI single into center field, driving in both Montero and Maxwell. 2B Kevin Russo also walked, then RF Dan Brewer's RBI single plated Parraz. Brewer tried to advance to second base on the throw in from Durham in right, but a quick throw by 3B Andy Marte to Friday this time let Friday tag out Brewer. The Yankees had a 5-0 lead.
Ford, Bowker, and Watson Lead Come-From-Behind Win
Shelby Ford gets the force out at second base, as Brian Friday backs him up.
Indianapolis Indians 8, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees 5
The Indianapolis Indians engineered another come-from-behind win tonight, to defeat the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees at Victory Field. 2B Shelby Ford (photo), who last played for the Indians in 2009, celebrated his return to AAA with 3 hits and started two big Tribe rallies. LF John Bowker also contributed 3 hits and 3 RBI. Reliever Tony Watson celebrated his 26th birthday with two scoreless innings of work, including 5 strikeouts.
When starters Sean Gallager and Adam Warren squared off last week, Warren dominated the Indians and held the Tribe batters to just 3 hits in 8 innings. Today, Gallagher and the Tribe turned the tables on Warren.
The Yankees began the game by taking advantage of an error in the top of the 1st. With one out, Gallagher walked SS Ramiro Pena, then gave up a single up the middle to DH Jesus Montero. 1B Jorge Vazquez tapped a fast bouncer back to the mound, which Gallagher easily fielded. He whirled and fired to Ford covering second base (photo above), for the force out on Montero. Ford's relay on to first base, though, was airmailed and landed in the visitor's dugout. Vazquez was awarded second base, and Pena, who had reached third base, was sent on home, for the Yankees' first run of the game. The run would have been unearned, but while pitching to CF Justin Maxwell, Gallagher threw a wild pitch. If the throwing error had not been made, Pena would have been on third base, and would have scored on the wild pitch, which changed to run from "unearned" to "earned". Maxwell popped out to Ford to end the inning.
Tribe Bullpen Quiets Yankees
Indianapolis Indians 5, Scranton /Wilkes-Barre Yankees 3
The Indians' bullpen shut down the Yankees' bats in the second half of the game, as the Tribe took the first game of this 4-game series at PNC Field in Moosic, PA. Starter Brian Burres earned his second win of the season, while RF John Bowker and C Jason Jaramillo contributed 2 RBI each.
The Indians got right down to business in the top of the 1st, opening the game with back-to-back line drive singles into left field by SS Chase d'Arnaud and 2B Josh Harrison. After a strikeout by LF Alex Presley, Bowker loaded the bases with a line drive single to right field. 1B Matt Hague (photo) made it four line drive singles (to left again), and his single drove in both d'Arnaud and Harrison to give the Indians a 2-0 lead.
The Yankees came right back with two runs off Tribe starter Brian Burres in the bottom of the 1st. Burres got a ground out, then gave up a single to SS Romiro Pena, followed by a 2-run homer to C Jesus Montero. LF Justin Maxwell struck out, then 1B Brandon Laird singled, and Burres walked 2B Kevin Russo. A grounder to short by RF Dan Brewer forced Russo out at second base, to get Burres and the Indians out of the inning, with the score tied 2-2.
Burres settled in after that first inning. Relying on his breaking ball and changeup, Burres retired the next 8 S/W-B batters in a row, before allowing a single in the 4th inning. Brewer lifted a fly ball into right field, and advanced to second base on a fielding error by Bowker in right. The error was made meaningless with a fly out to end the inning.
Tribe Win The Series In The Pink

For the third year in a row, the Indianapolis Indians found that the pink breast cancer awareness jerseys brought them luck. They beat the Buffalo Bison at Victory Field tonight, to win the 4-game series 3 games to 1. Rudy Owens pitched 7 innings, allowing only one run on 7 hits for his third win of the season. Former Pirate DJ Carrasco took the loss for the Bison.
This was Owens' (photo) first win in 5 weeks, and only the second game in which he pitched 7 innings (the other was on April 11th). He did not walk any batters. He had two strikeouts -- both on Carrasco, who also struck out Owens twice.
Owens took advantage of three double plays in the first four innings. His first two innings were twins. The southpaw gave up a single (to 3B Luis Figueroa in the 1st and to 1B Valentino Pascucci in the 2nd), then got an out (pop up and fly out), then erased the base runner and ended the inning with a double play. In the 1st, CF Kirk Nieuwenhuis bounced into a standard 4-6-3 (2B Josh Harrison to SS Chase d'Arnaud to 1B Matt Hague) double play. In the 2nd, LF Jesus Feliciano grounded to first, where Hague stepped on first, then threw to second base where d'Arnaud tagged out Feliciano for the reverse force double play.
Owens retired the Bison in order in the 3rd, but got into some trouble in the 4th. Former Indy Indian Luis Figueroa zapped a grounder just inside the third base line and down into the left field corner, where LF John Bowker had to chase it down, as Figueroa raced to third base with a triple. 2B Michael Fisher lined a single up the middle, scoring Figueroa. Then Owens returned to the first/second- inning form. He got Nieuwenhuis to fly out, and got Pascucci to ground into an around the horn double play, started by 3B Andy Marte.

Buffalo Bison 5, Indianapolis Indians 1
After two days of being pounded by the Indians, the Buffalo Bison got their revenge this afternoon at Victory Field, as the Bison posted 12 hits in their win. The Indians were held to just 5 scattered hits by the Buffalo pitching staff. Buffalo starter Brian Sweeney earned his first win of the season and allowed the Indians only one run.
Sean Gallagher (photo) made the start for the Indians. The plan had been to move Gallagher from the starting rotation to the bullpen, and he did make a relief appearance last week, coming in to take over for Garrett Olson, who had been injured. But now, with Olson going onto the Disabled List, Gallagher has been moved back to the starting rotation. The Bison jumped right on Gallagher in the top of the 1st inning. After getting the first batter, former Indy Indian SS Luis Figueroa to pop up for the first out, Gallagher gave up a single to 2B Michael Fisher and a bunt single to C Kirk Nieuwenhuis. 1B Valentino Pascucci followed with a hard liner along the left field line for a double, driving in both Fisher and Nieuwenhuis for a 2-0 lead. Gallagher left Pascucci on second base, ending the inning with a pop out and a ground out.
Gallagher set the Bison down in order in the 2nd inning, but the Bison scored again in the 3rd. Figueroa led off with another double down the left field line, similar to Pascucci's. Fisher singled up the middle, and the speedy Figueroa scored from second base. C Dusty Brown threw out Fisher as he tried to steal second base. The next three Bison batters all reached base safely -- a grounder through the hole into left field by Nieuwenhuis, a 4-pitch walk to Pascucci, and C Mike Nickeas hit on the left wrist or forearm by a pitch. Nickeas took his time moving down to first base, but was not able to stay in the game. He was replaced by pinch-runner/catcher (another former Indy Indian) Raul Chavez. That loaded the bases with one out for the Bison. Gallagher got out of the jam by getting LF Jesus Feliciano to bounced into a double play, 2B Chase d'Arnaud to SS Pedro Ciriaco, to 1B John Bowker.
