One of the greatest pitchers of his era, William Arthur "Candy" Cummings was born in 1848, when baseball was in its infancy. In the 1870s, Candy's invention, the curveball, played a transformative role and earned him a place in the Hall of Fame. Drawing on extensive research, this first full-length biography traces Candy's New England heritage and chronicles his rise to the top, from pitching for amateur teams in mid-1860s Brooklyn to playing in the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players--the first major league--and then the newly-formed National League. A critical examination of the evidence and competing claims reveals that Cummings was, indeed, the originator of the curveball.

Revisiting Outcomes Assessment in Higher Education complements rather than updates Hernon and Dugan's 2004 Outcomes Assessment in Higher Education. As with its predecessor, it offers a cross-campus diversity of voices: contributors hail from various segments of higher education, including officers of institutional accreditation organizations, an academic vice president, academic deans, a higher education consultant, faculty members, and librarians. Individually, they shed light on how their corner of the higher education universe views, facilitates, and substantiates outcomes assessment. Together, they document what is known about outcomes assessment in the middle of the first decade of the new century, as institutions and their programs take ever firmer steps from anecdotal evidence to more rigorous diagnosis and reporting.The current interest in outcomes assessment represents a major shift in recent decades in attitudes about evaluating education. Outcomes assessment deals not only with assessment, but with accountability, usually in terms of accomplishing goals defined as desirable by the institution in question. It questions the results of educational processes, and focuses the argument on what students, faculty, and administrators demonstrably do.

There are many versions of the story we know as "Cinderella" and each version is almost the same. But who exactly was this character based upon? I was extremely curious so I decided to do a little bit of research. Ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology spoke of a woman only known as Rhodopis or "Rosy Cheeks". This young woman was kidnapped from her home and sold in Egypt as a slave where she was given this name. Since there was no factual record of her birth name, we will call her Cindy. There was one thing that remained consistent in all the stories that I read of her life...the similarities of her life compared to Cinderella's life was there but not quite what we know as Disney friendly. As a young girl, Cindy had to learn to be strong and also learned that life is no game. She was raised by an old man who took her in after pirates raided her village. Later in life was then, too, a victim to the pirates, but not before she was given a special pair of shoes. Once sold to her master as a slave, she found comfort in knowing there was a possibility her mother was not far from where she was sold. The biggest problems were the three other slaves living with her. They forced her to do there chores and more. They were jealous of the way their master treated her compared to them. Her only friends were the animals. After her escape, she loses a shoe when a large bird swoops down and takes it, later dropping it into the lap of the lands most fairest bachelor. Follow Cindy as she finds out what magical opportunities lie ahead in finding out who she is and what she will become. Find out just how the slippers play such a huge role in the story we all knew as "Cinderella". If you like dragons, magic and history then this is the book for you. There is a little bit of everything. Maybe even a little "Game of Throne"-ish.
