Live from the Sands Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada, extracting the signal from the noise. It's theCUBE, covering HP Discover 2015. Brought to you by HP. And now your hosts, John Furrier and Dave Vellante. Hello, everyone. Welcome to SiliconANGLE and Wikibon's theCUBE. This is our flagship program. We go out to the events and extract the super news. We are live here in Las Vegas for eight years. We are live here in Las Vegas for HP Discover 2015. I'm John Furrier. My co-host Dave Vellante. Next guest is Jason Newton, Senior Director of Marketing for HPN. Welcome back to theCUBE. Great to see you. Hey, thanks, guys. It's been a long time. We're just talking about it four years ago. I was with you guys. The new style of business, the transformation, it's really super exciting. We get to do the CUBE interviews all around with different shows, different industry events. We were just at the open stack with the cloud, which is now getting so much legs. The mobile size really just so obvious it's so game-changing going back to 2007. Everyone's connected. So this transformation message is huge. So what's your thoughts on that? And take us through the high level of what's happening around transformation with HP. We've been hearing it loud and clear from our customers for a while. They really want a different approach. They want a different kind of HP to come at them and not through silos and products and speeds and fees and technologies. It's overwhelming and loud and clear that we need to do something different. When you talk to them, there's most of the traditional enterprises and let's be honest, that's where our strength is. We've helped build a lot of empires and enterprises over the years. Our expertise has always been in getting the most out of your application and out of your data. We don't necessarily sell the app or whatever. We might help you develop but our expertise is building the infrastructure and the operations to get the most value out of it. With the world that we're in, it's this digital era and what Meg is going to refer to as the idea economy, tremendous amount of transformation that's going on. The speed of which this transformation is happening and everybody recognizes now it's disrupt or be disrupted and they're looking for someone that can be that transformation partner to build that bridge from where they are today to where they know they need to get to in terms of a new breed of applications, harnessing a new breed of data, delivering a new style set of experiences and dealing with an increasingly complex threat landscape. So her keynote's coming up later today so this idea economy, you kind of gave a little teaser there, showed a little love there, a little preview, I guess, idea economy but to me that springs to mind this whole agile. If you look at the major transformation enablers, cloud, mobile, social, big data, these are the kind of trends out there. The enabler has been this agile concept which has been more of a developer thing but you guys talk about customers. Idea economy is not just like everyone's got a good idea, there's execution involved. Is that kind of the recognition that HP has? Well, yeah, I think there's two things about the idea economy. Yeah, you're right. Ideas have fueled business forever, right? Microsoft had a great idea at one where Bill Gates had a great idea at one point, Steve Jobs had a great idea at one point. I think when we talk about the idea economy today, what makes it different is the fact that is the access to technology resources capital are the barriers to the access to those are lower than they've ever been. The ability for a few guys, a couple of developers to get together and take an idea into an outcome, into value, into a product, into a service has never been easier to do. When everybody's got the same access to capital, to expertise, to technology, I get out a credit card and I can spin up whatever I want on a cloud. Everything left is time. Time is that differentiator. Time to value is the number one priority. That's the enemy. It's a great opportunity for enterprises, but they've got to know that the playing field is now leveled and smaller competitors and maybe even competitors they've never even heard of can come in and radically disrupt the industry. Agile, in fact we're doing a big area on DevOps trying to help traditional enterprises modernize their operations and not just empower developers but the whole application life cycle of development how can we radically accelerate operations to deliver a more productive, high quality environment. So we talk about this all the time on theCUBE and I wonder if you could spend a bit more time on this, Jason. This idea that you've got this infrastructure, the barriers to entry of starting a business are largely limited by your ideas. You're building on top of this digital fabric and you're bringing different technologies together as hardware, software, mobile, social all kinds of cloud. So what's HP's role in that? I wonder if you could talk about that. So how should we think about HP going forward in this digital economy? The resources that you bring to bear how you're transforming your customers organizations. Well like I said enterprises in business today has legacy applications meaning every application that's running in their data center will call legacy, right? Doesn't necessarily mean old it just means that's what they have today and that's what they run their business on and that's what's core but they know there's a new breed of applications that are out there that are going to be fueling the way they do business and it could be the way the way they're making money is radically transforming and what these customers are looking for is I need to build a bridge from where I'm at today I need someone to understand the challenges that I've got going on today those apps and that data but how to bridge and build that integration point right with where I need to get to it's a whole new class of applications that maybe I don't have the skill sets to understand I don't I've never really built an environment for them I recognize that those apps might be consumed as services or they might be hosted you know in a public cloud how do I sort of orchestrate all of that integrated those are the real I mean let's face it this is going to be hard right hybrid is going to be hard and our customers are saying we need someone that can be that transformation partner help build my own journey do it my own unique way I need someone that understands maybe the financial implications of it and actually can help me build a business model around it so it's it's much deeper than just you know is it the right server or is it the right storage for that there's a lot of other things involved and I think our role in all of that is is to play that strategic role for that customer that we we've been there right we understand where they are today we can help you build that bridge going forward and it it's more than just technology you know it's more than hardware it's it's software it's services it's financial capital and financial flexibility and it's business enablement and if you take the combination of enterprise services HP softwares assets the enterprise groups hardware vast experience that we have the financial services you put that package together you give it focus right I mean I think it's tremendous the role that we're going to play and it's it's it's rather unique in the industry there's no one else that's really bringing those things together in that way and we go ahead Jason we're here live by the keynotes coming people are watching yeah give us a teaser of the of the of the show theme I mean HP Discover always has a great cadence to it great customer vibe here in the past years it's always had the spring to a step as we're all the employees and customers are coming biggest spring biggest spring the stuff that I've ever seen and discover lay out the pillars what is the theme of the show for the folks that aren't here well I think I think one of the big things about what is the news the story of you know Discover 2015 you're it's really the first time that the public is going to start to get a real glimpse at what Hewlett Packard Enterprise is going to be about Meg's going to spend a lot of time talking about the future of Hewlett Packard Enterprise what are what our role is in the world the where we're going to play what we're going to stand for and you know you're going to see things like the brand being expressed around the around here so you're starting to see that transformation happen and over it's going to start accelerating over the next few months but start to get a sense of that story what Meg's going to talk about is she said that one of the advantages of the split is the increased focus that we're able to have as a company I've definitely seen that there's been an energy in the two different groups getting much more focused on look we you know you have your customers and we have our customers and I can now just focus on the things that I really know need to go get done with my customers and you guys can do the same and I think it's really given a big energy and our we talked about HP's unique role or Hewlett Packard's unique role in this is going to be that transformation partner and so we recognize we can't continue to come to customers with you know a server or a storage or whatever to be that's not transformation that's technology categorically hybrid cloud so four things so four areas of focus transforming hybrid infrastructure why do we need that because the nature of apps are changing right different breed of applications coming I need apps for the internet of things I need mobile apps I need web I need traditional and I need to bring those together right and a consistent integrated government way second I need to think about protecting the digital enterprise very different sort of notion around risk it's more than just security it's more than just perimeter breaches complicated it's a lot of moving parts well a lot of moving parts there's risk in all its forms we've got to take a different stance towards risk much more sort of lean forward proactive stance towards it and we need to accept some things like breaches are going to happen we can't we can no longer think in this digital world we're going to stop breaches so when they happen how can we find out quickly how can we make sure that the you know there's not much damage done etc so protecting the digital enterprise is a huge area focus for us yeah that's huge and again these are all things that we're hearing from our customers they're saying this is my challenge I don't I don't just need a better piece of hardware that's not my biggest problem in the world right is I don't want to destroy my brand or have my brand destroyed by a well-funded you know a group of hackers right that are coming in with the perimeter security model that opens up and with the API economy all these these new transforming transformative trends yes with technologies the integrated stack some people call it really teases out the model of future which is integrated solutions and again you put together you know the security intelligence the expertise that we have that we we do this stuff with thousands of clients every day the portfolio assets that we've been developing over the last years old-school a tall of encryption right stuff that you know is born out of you know some of our most mission critical technologies bring that together in the modern world and suddenly we've got a one of the most powerful encryption technologies out there today so it's all of those elements it's hardware software services so that's second area transformation third is we need to do a much better job of empowering a data driven organization you know today I mean obviously data is always at the center of every business but being data-driven is kind of a different idea and one of the areas that we're especially focused on is a lot of customers have taken that and you guys have written a lot about this talked a lot about this but they've taken their first steps into Hadoop and the return on investment that they expected is a lot less than what they're actually seeing right and so they've got this massive data lake I built the big Hadoop thing now what right and there's still I think a lot of other vendors that are out there with kind of it's early days it is still early days but real time is relevant I mean this idea concept is about exactly and that that's our point is that this isn't some sort of big future long journey thing there is actionable questions that we could be asking of our data today and getting answers on and putting analytics to work in very practical simple ways and you know out of that and that's one of the areas that I think we're really going to shine is you bring together the Hadoop the Haven platform around say Hadoop plus our you know big data services capabilities and I mean we can start generating business outcomes and value right now we don't it's not a you know sort of a long-term feature thing that we have to do so you know Kyle Mahoney called that three years ago yeah he said it's going to be very relevant but it's not a one trick pony it's not a silver bullet well it needs all the value that you have surrounded you know I mentioned encryption you know you cut this massive amount of data a lot of it's very valuable you know you want to encrypt all of that data right that's not an easy thing to do today so anyway so that's three so that's number three and then number four is that we're hearing from customers as they want to enable workforce productivity but what they're talking about is the digital workplace right and the digital workplace is everywhere it's not just about employees with laptops and mobile devices it's about engaging customers at the moment in need right so it's empowering employees and engaging customers so they need the tools which is devices they need a security model that works for it well the way we look at it yeah I mean the way we look at that is it's actually all about the experience so you take the app you take the data you secure it all of that hard work falls falls to the wayside if you fail at that last mile of the experience right so how do we ensure a high quality experience whether it's the engagement from the application it's the right day to deliver the right time it's the it's just the quality of the connection and the basic plumbing of the whole thing right we were talking about you know all these concurrent live streams and how you know complicated that is flash mob videos and you know do I even have an infrastructure that's ready for that so this fourth one is last because it's probably the most important I think we're moving into an experience driven world and the digital workplace is going to demand a new set of experiences that enable and empower customers and employees in ways that we really haven't and the fourth is the connection to the business model so you got transforming the hybrid infrastructure protecting the digital assets that's a whole risk the whole digital enterprise digital enterprise empowering the data driven organization enabling workplace productivity so how should we think about these capabilities in each of those you're sort of transforming your own organization from a product centric to sort of this capability centric you want to go back around sort of the so like transform you know I think the big area that we're going to play in transforming the hybrid infrastructure maybe not be necessarily intuitive to you but I kind of mentioned earlier as apps applications that's app driven right that really is our strength we build great hardware don't get me wrong but are you know I think sometimes underappreciated we have tremendous capabilities and thousands of specialists they know how to get the most out of an app they know how to they know how to build that infrastructure get the most out of it and then you combine that with our folks in the enterprise services group their ability to then develop and translate that application into and align it to business process right into business outcome those that combination means we can help you bring an idea into an app into production into value and outcome faster than anybody else in the industry and you talked about the bridge earlier right 90% of the revenues probably coming from those legacy applications but everybody's trying to get to the new stuff how do I present correct the legacy apps with a through a prism of right of the new stuff that's right complicated that's the way that we're going to approach the thought the only reason to go to a hybrid infrastructure is because of you know the diversity in this new breed of applications that are coming I mean if it apps weren't changing we don't need to change our infrastructure we're finding the way we are but that's not the reality 2020 we estimate something like what is it 7.6 billion people 100 million connected devices or billion connected devices a trillion applications one size isn't going to fit all and I've got all these issues and questions of integration and governance and compliance and protection and different needs for cost and speed and scale across those applications so I really need a solution for my app environment that are today and tomorrow I think that's the key the solution is the key so like we've been again over the past three years mentioned Colin calling that which is obviously user and close to the action you've seen the different buzzwords come and go whatever people call the workload workload and it's all relevant but it's all vectoring on the same path which is the user environment of productivity sets the pace because that's the driver of the car if you will there's some instrumentation on the panel but there's an engine so you got to have the tooling for the user but at the end of the day the engine of innovation still has storage it's still the same stuff right you know Larry you know it's all that same it's still the data center someone has to have a data center data centers aren't going away so the whole cloud concept so infrastructure is not going away it's just changing so the user experience is about notifications so there's some things happening at the edge of the network and then you add on internet of things so that I think is pretty much a done deal people see that clearly so your customers are telling you what are your top customers what are your customers telling HP the four pillars right you want hardware that works for that yeah they're telling hey we got a new breed of apps I need a new type of infrastructure to deal with it they're saying I'm dealing with threats that I never conceived of before firewalls and harden perimeters aren't going to do it for me anymore how can I use analytics to predict when those things might happen we're hearing from the data we're hurting it loud and clear hey we're down one not so good how can you help me with round two real time stuff like in my workplace we all probably travel a lot the digital workplace of the airport it's like three employees they're in 500 kiosk that's a different type of workplace that has to be enabled it's a different type of app and workload there's transactions that are happening there customer satisfaction is key if that thing doesn't work they can't buy it from one vendor hey I'm going to buy that security from that company it's all interconnected now exactly that's my point that's what the customers are asking for how do I transform and do those different things and it's not just a random act of mobility it's not putting a new wifi node and it's not going to deliver the business outcome that you're looking for they don't want to spend time doing all this heavy lifting they want to spend time taking the ideas combining them with other ideas and adding value as the transformation partner in the digital world I think that's what HP is going to stand for we recognize that you have great ideas and our job is to help you unleash the value and the outcome of that idea whether that idea is expressed in an application how can I empower your developers to create it how can I deliver an operation environment that streamlines the delivery of that how can I secure that application how can I deliver that app to the end user in a high quality high experience type of way to outcome is really what we're going to be all about so you're excited very excited so what gives you confidence that HP is going to drive this future legacy, the culture the people that we work with here I think we're really getting back to our roots I think that the split gives us a lot more focus so that we know who we are and what we stand for in the marketplace it obviously enables us to make some more focused investments whether it be in services or hardware talk about world leaders and delivering user experience Aruba has really been on the front edge of that now they're part of the family all of the right moves, all of the right direction and I think you're going to see it this week the spring and the step of HP particularly the Hewlett Packard enterprise side of the house very excited about the four transformation areas and I think that's going to be the big buzz and the big story because customers are going to see it it's a different story I mean how many times have you been a discoverer six to seven? This will be the first time that we don't go on the main stage as business unit silos all the leaders of the business are going to come together and they're going to tell a customer in story about the things that customers care about they've told us that they want to hear from us and we're going to bring the full power of our hardware software and services together into one story and it's extremely compelling it's all about the customer it's not a product prism I'm a marketing guy so that's where it all starts well that's a danger when you get siloed presentations left hand right hand and this I think as we progress towards splitting to Hewlett Packard enterprise it's given us that focus to get back to the roots of those types of things and I'm telling you Meg is really excited about she's been giving the story giving the new pitch of the new company to our top customers getting tremendous feedback you're just going to see a different energy and they're showcasing here too like I said if you'd have been here any other discovery the past 5-6 years it would have been hardware guy leader gets up service leader gets up and gives their pitch it's a totally different story it's extremely compelling I've always said HP HP has the customers they have big customers with big needs and they give feedback historically you guys have done a great job so that's one thing about HP that impressed me is that customers are here big time it's not like they're mailing it in it's the real deal in all of these things we spend them as marketing and it's easy to talk about these are hard things to go do and our customers are looking for someone let's face it how many of them go through any particular project more than once with our services arm 40,000 times there's a couple of learnings in there that we can share and I think we're getting much more focused on hey we do know a lot how many millions of servers are out there how many different millions of server events have we seen what can we learn from that and enable our customers to learn from that and that's what we're bringing these transformation areas are now enabling us to bring forward so that in fact what you'll hear in the main stage keynote later today is a lot of those learnings coming forward and leading with that insight of what we've uncovered and helping other customers on these transformation journeys where to get started and that's the way that we're going to be engaging our customers going forward as well not just hey, here's a new server do you want to buy some Jason thanks for previewing we appreciate you coming out and giving a little teaser Meg Whitman's keynote join the conversation go to hpdiscover.social go to hp.com join the conversation on twitter chat.net there's a zillion places to touch the conversation come join a creative conversation get your peers and watch the keynotes this is theCUBE live in Las Vegas for three days of wall-to-wall coverage we're here for six years we've been on the ground we've been seeing this unfold in front of us we've been like documenting the story Dave so we're going to bring you all the action stay tuned this is theCUBE we'll be right back after this short break


The Many Reasons for Taking a Teflocourse There are many different reasons why someone might choose to complete a Teflocourse. For some it may be simply to earn a new qualification whilst for others there may be much more to it than that. This post will highlight and explain some of the main reasons why people choose to study and complete Teflocourses. The Gateway to a New Life Abroad One of the main reasons why people choose to complete a Teflocourse is to gain a qualification that will help them to obtain a job in a foreign country where they wish to live and work. Teaching English in their country of choice may not be the only job that is available to them, but it is one of the easiest ways to be able to live in a foreign country. Following Mandarin Chinese and Spanish, English is the most commonly spoken language in the world and out of the three top languages it is the most widely spoken. Being utilized in 106 countries and with over 950 million speakers communicating in English around the world, everybody wants to learn it, and so, learning Teflocourse and teaching foreign students the language is a great way to find work abroad and to help the world to become a much more globally connected place. Learning Teflocourse and working abroad is also a great way to be adventurous, experience new cultures, learn new languages and change up the normal 9-5 lifestyle. Plus, international experience, whether working or studying abroad, is almost always seen as a plus to future employers all over the world. International Job Requirements There are a certain number of countries where Teflocertificate will not be needed, whereas in other countries it may be essential that an aspiring teacher holds a Teflocertificate to even think of applying for a job. For example, in specific countries, an English teaching school may wish to see a Teflocertificate with a certain number of hours completed on it, such as a 120-hour Teflocertificate for teaching in Korea. Other countries may place experience above certification as a necessity, and in some cases a country may require the applicant to hold both a Teflocertificate with a certain number of hours as well as a certain period of experience in teaching. For example in Dubai teachers are expected to hold a Teflocertificate as well as a minimum of one year teaching experience in the same grade. In some cases a job which specifies positions for a business English teacher or an elementary school English teacher may look for someone who holds a certificate in teaching business English, C-T-B-E, or a certificate in teaching English to young learners, C-TIL. Build on your existing teaching skills. Another reason why someone may wish to study a Teflocourse is to improve their own way of teaching. If someone is a teacher of English to foreign students already, they might choose to take on a Teflocourse as a way to update their knowledge of teaching the language. An English language teacher with a certain style of teaching might complete a Tefloso that they can broaden the way they teach and add new styles to their teaching form, which in turn, can help vary their lessons in the future. It could be that a one-on-one teacher has acquired a new class which involves multiple students and they would like some insight on how to manage and control such a group, or perhaps it is the other way around, and a classroom teacher finds themselves teaching privately in a one-on-one lesson. A new teacher might take a Teflocourse to help boost their confidence and to enhance the experience they give their students in the classroom by applying what they learn on the course into their lessons. A Teflocourse can provide some new activities, games and ideas on how to focus on specific elements of the English language that a new teacher might not be aware of. A Teflocourse can also provide an opportunity for a new teacher to go over some of the materials that they may have learned recently to help them feel more grounded. Some teachers might be extremely good at teaching the productive skills of speaking and writing but they might not be so great at teaching the receptive skills of reading and listening, in this case it would be good for the teacher to take a Teflocourse and to brush up on these skills to make their lessons more varied and successful. Some people may be a natural at teaching English to foreign learners of the language, but they may struggle with lesson planning, classroom management or seating arrangements, that's where studying and completing a Teflocourse can be useful. Overall, studying a Teflocourse will help current and new teachers improve their class dynamics and atmosphere, as well as introduce new skills and practice to those that they may already know. Build a CV, Resume for the Future. There are also people who will choose to study a Teflocourse just to add to their curriculum variety or resume in hope that it may come in handy in the future. Maybe they will meet a new foreign friend who wishes to improve their English or perhaps they will find themselves in a situation teaching a foreign student who has moved to an English speaking country without any knowledge of the language, teaching them English will help them to open new doors. Some people who are aspiring to work in a career in education may wish to take on a Teflocourse not because they hope to work abroad but because it will help improve their future job prospects at home as a teacher. It is your motivation for taking a Teflocourse. Although there are many different reasons for completing a Teflocourse and a person may have more than one reason for studying Teflocourse there is one thing that can be agreed upon. Studying a Teflocourse cannot be a disadvantage and can only benefit the holder in acquiring a job, improving their career possibilities or even helping a friend improve their English skills.

What's up, everybody? Jason here for jaspyscasebrakes.com. 2023, an evening immaculate college football, Pico team number four just sold out with this R&B, guys. That features 14 teams, including the Colts and Falcons, guys, so Colts, Falcons, Seahawks, Chiefs, Bangles, Vikings, Chargers, Packers, 49ers, Bugs, Titans, Commanders, Patriots, Broncos. Get a piece of these teams via a serial number break. And of course, if any of those teams do get hits, we'll match them up with a serial number that you get assigned. And we go by the first number on the left side of the serial number dash. So here we go, guys, here's the dice roll. Here's the customer name. So again, we had a free spot giveaway. So if you bought a full spot, you had a chance to win a free spot. Just to try to get this done tonight, guys, we did, like, last spot, buy one, get one. Anything got the last spot. So he definitely has that extra free spot. But now, like I said, we're gonna randomize the original people with Nathan. They don't have a one-in-eight shot now, guys. So like I said, we wanted to try to get this done. Nathan was the most recent one in the last, like, 30 minutes to get it done after Williams. So we got it done, guys. Thank you guys so much. So the dice roll is gonna be for the free spot giveaway plus the names and teams in, or the names and numbers for the R&B. Let's roll to two and a three, five times. Good luck. One, two, three, four, and five. Boom. Two, three, five. William, there you go. Kind of had the odds there. Nice. So, boom. Free spot there. Now five times on the names. One, two, three, four, five. Steve, Donna, William. Now again, those teams are in there. It's just for the sorting team to know what teams are part of this R&B. And we're gonna go five times the number, zero. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. One, two, three, four, five. Five times, five, five, six, down to zero. All right, then we're gonna put that up to 24. So, Steve with six, William with nine, and eight. Nancy with two, Ed with three, Nathan with five. William with four, Nathan, last but not the one. And then, William with seven, and zero. So, there you go, folks. Now, like I said, I'm gonna delete this really quick. Just like I sort this one out by number there. I'll probably increase this to 24 as well. Let that figure out the difference. And I'll make this one look all nice. Same thing with this one. All right, sweet. So, like I said now, guys. There you go. All right, sweet. So, coming up next is the break itself. Thank you.


Hi, my name is Lily and I'm studying a Bachelor of Nursing. I love the breaks in between my classes, honestly, because then we go to bar on the hill and we get lunch and talk and it's really fun. The labs are pretty fun as well. It's cool to actually try out stuff for the first time. You feel like a proper nurse. We learn how to draw up medication, how to do assessments on our patients. We learn how to deal with emergencies. For example, like a cardiac emergency, someone's having a heart attack. It's really important and cool that we get to learn how to do skills before we go out on placement and get to try them out in a low stress environment. Actually making a difference in a patient's life and their time in hospital. I've had patients before be like, I'm so glad you're a friend in hospital and I honestly love that.


Bioremediation of contaminated groundwater or soil is currently the most cost effective and non-harmful way of removing xenobiotics from the environment. Absorbing microorganisms onto carriers can significantly reduce the cost of bioremediation as well as allow for the reuse of bio-catalysts. Carriers are selected based on the type of pollutant, the type of remediation process, and situ or ex-situ, and the properties of the immobilized microorganisms. The recent studies have shown that natural carriers can be used to improve the efficiency of bioremediation while minimizing any negative effects on the microorganisms or the contamination itself.

Andrew McCutcheon, nice Patch. All right, last mini box. Good luck, Travis. We have your Leaf Best of Sports that will rip last. It's Ronald Acunia, Amethyst to 99. Vlad, Frank Robinson and Shane Baz. That is Dual Patch Otto, Jason Veratek. There you go, Travis. That is 21 of 25. Nice Veratek. All right, Leaf Best of Sports. Come on, let's see a crazy hit here. This is Goodwin Champions, autographed Josh Giddy. Nice Josh Giddy Goodwin Champions, Otto. This is that rookie Otto or pre rookie Otto? All right, that'll do it for your boxes, Travis. Thank you for the purchase. Appreciate it. We'll get these right out to you.


Aaron, what did you think of the way Cole went to work tonight? He was great. You know, they made him work a little bit, especially in those middle innings to kind of get his pitch count up. And he had some counts along the way where he was three balls. But I don't think he ended up losing anyone. But they made him work enough. And then he came out in the sixth and had a real pitch-efficient inning to earn going back out there in the seventh and finished really strong. I thought he was terrific and obviously a game where we needed him to be really, really good because we're up against a really good one as well. You noticed even more intensity and focus out of him when a guy on the other side is putting up zeros as well? Maybe, but Garrett's always pretty locked in on... I mean, he's locked in on the days he's not pitching. But he's an intense competitor when he's on the mound. Maybe a little bit more edge, though, knowing that this is obviously two special guys going against each other. But he answered the bell again. At times, he looked really frustrated with pitched location, but then managed to get back on the mound and throw a perfect pitch. Are you impressed with his ability to turn the page within and at that? Yeah, that's something he did really well. I feel like he's been doing that all year, but that's the only thing that got him was a little bit of an issue for us. He had a number of three ball counts or even counts where he fell behind and just kept making pitches and never lost them and was able to put away a lot of guys today. So really strong outing by our ace. What's the feeling like in that dugout in the fifth inning? When Hicks goes deep, then O'Dore goes deep as well to take the lead. Guys are fired up, obviously. Just again, even though that's all we got today, again, you're up against a horse there in Bieber and I thought we were competitive in our bats all day again and had a couple more chances to maybe tack one on or so, but yeah, there's definitely a little more buzz now in the dugout, now that the offense is starting to click a little bit. Brennan Cuddy, please unmute. Aaron, we've talked to you a lot about O'Dore lately, but what can you say about what he did tonight and the spark he seems to be providing you guys? Yeah, I mean, he's gotten a lot of big hits for us and certainly as we've started to win some games now, he's been right in the middle of it. I thought he was really good on defense as well today. A number of hard hit balls at him that he handled. You know, I thought a good little mound visit by him there. You know, when Willie lost the strike zone for a minute, he's not afraid to go out there and just kind of break the tie a little bit.  And what did you think of some of the up and in fastballs to DJ the judge today? You know, I don't know.  Eric Polin, go ahead. What did you think of Loisica's performance in a situation he really hasn't been in in his big league career before?  You know, he's already been in some big spots this year and he's answered the call. And really, we continue to see him kind of blossom before us. But to get the final out of the eighth and then have to go through the heart of their order and to see him out there pitching with a ton of confidence. Knowing, you know, I feel like he's always known he's had the stuff to get it done.  He was huge for us today. That's a big time save right there. Back to Meredith. Erin, kind of along the same lines, did you enter this game thinking you're using Loisica as the closer if the situation dictated? No, I was just kind of, you know, I was staying away from Greeny and Chappy today. So just kind of depending on where we were, how far Garrett got us, you know, it could have been some combo of Low, O'Day, Wilson, it was just kind of where we were in the order, you know, so I'm not surprised that he finished the game for us, but I didn't go in saying Lois finished the game, no. And then just to the lone run that they wound up scoring Cleveland, that is. Did you think Judge had that when he went up? I had a pretty good look at it all the way. So I knew he didn't catch it. I knew it scored it out. Great effort seeing the replay, you know, just he did a really good job of getting his steps in order and getting a good leap, you know, a leap off over the fence there and to keep it in. And then, you know, credit Rosario there, you know, obviously with the infield drawn in and, you know, I thought Garrett made a pretty good pitch with that slider in on him and he just, you know, especially against a guy like Garrett where it can be challenging to put the ball in play. He did a pretty good job of just staying in the middle and dunking one out there. So, yeah. And just three in a row, do you feel like this team is really finally building some solid momentum? We're definitely starting to play better and play well. And, you know, with that, you know, even for this group, I think they're building on their confidence and, you know, starting to expect to walk in here and expect things to happen. And so it's been definitely encouraging here and to win a really well-pitched, low-scoring game tonight is another good one to put in the win column. And again, I think one of the common themes, you know, with the last three but for the last five has been just the many contributions. Everyone's kind of had a hand in it and that's been nice. Thank you, Aaron.


The 25th annual East Kentucky Regional Science and Engineering Fair is returning to the region March 2. The fair is hosted by the East Kentucky Science Center and the overall winner will win a trip to the Region Aeron International Science and Engineering Fair in Los Angeles, California. Five years ago or so we became affiliated with the International Science and Engineering Fair which allowed our students in our 15 county region to go beyond the regional level for the first time and compete at the state level and the international level. So we have a fair every year and we welcome projects from 4 through 12th grades and they work with their teachers or their parents or both and they pick a topic of interest and they work on it, they do experimentation, they collect data, they keep reports and they have a fair at their school and they send their first-place students to our regional fair. Appalachian Community Care offers outpatient medication assisted treatment for addiction, counseling and behavioral play therapy for children accepting Medicare and all major insurance. Recovery is hard, regret is harder. Appalachian Community Care, Pikeville, Whitesburg,<PHONE_NUMBER>. Find them on Facebook. The fair is open to 4 through 12th grades and features 21 different categories ranging from behavioral science to mathematics. This is a competition, it is competitive and we want people to look at it that way. So the ability to compete, we want good projects, we want quality projects, we want quality projects that have been compiled and you've worked with your parents or your teachers to put together a nice concept and it allows students to network, it gives them amazing critical thinking skills, it allows them to really hone their writing skills, their math skills, it helps them compile practice compiling reports and knowing the difference between the different methods because a lot of our students focus on the scientific method but it is a science and engineering fair so that's a different process and it kind of helps them with that as well. For more information and to register for the fair go to East Kentucky Regional Science and Engineering Fair on Facebook. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.
