The 2014 season represents the 25th anniversary of Duke's ACC Championship team from 1989.
To honor the 1989 team, Duke is making a few alterations to its jersey for the 2014 season.
The Blue Devils recently unveiled three new (white, blue and black) jerseys for 2014, a new chrome decal on the black helmet, and stripes on the jersey sleeves.
Here are the new photos from Duke's uniform release for 2014:

Former Missouri receiver Dorial Green-Beckham has officially landed at Oklahoma. Green-Beckham was dismissed at Missouri after an off-the-field incident in April and will have to sit out the 2014 season as a result of NCAA transfer rules.
Green-Beckham was regarded as one of the top receivers in the nation in 2013, catching 59 passes for 883 yards and 12 scores. As a junior entering 2014, Green-Beckham was expected to be a first-team All-American and the top target for new Missouri quarterback Maty Mauk.
There's no question Green-Beckham comes with baggage. His dismissal at Missouri stemmed from an incident where he allegedly pushed a woman down the stairs. He also had two marijuana arrests during his time with the Tigers, but charges from the first arrest were never filed.
Bringing Green-Beckham to Oklahoma is a big risk for coach Bob Stoops. But considering Green-Beckham's talent level and upside, it's a risk that could pay off.
The Sooners are a young team in 2014 and could have only five or six senior starters this year.
Barring a surprise win on his waiver for eligibility, Green-Beckham will have to sit out the 2014 season. Add Green-Beckham to an offense that features quarterback Trevor Knight and receiver Sterling Shepard and it's easy to think Oklahoma could be picked near the top of most preseason polls in 2015.
Of course, this move could backfire for Oklahoma. If Green-Beckham lands in trouble again, this move will be a hit in public relations for Stoops. But there's also a solid support system in place in Norman, including Stoops and receivers coach Jay Norvell.
If Green-Beckham manages to stay out of trouble in 2014 and has a huge season, it will go a long way to improving his draft stock that took a hit after the dismissal in April.

Oklahoma's uniforms and helmets haven't changed much in recent years, but that's about to change. Somewhat.
On Tuesday, the Sooners unveiled new alternate uniforms, which are a slightly different look at the usual appearance for the program.
The alternate uniforms feature two different helmets (red and white), along with small tweaks to the jersey and pants. Oklahoma's usual uniforms read "Sooners" across the front of the jersey, but the alternate jersey will feature "Oklahoma" in that space.
The new red helmet for the alternate uniform also features a wood-grained pattern.
Below are a few photos of the new uniforms. Be sure to visit Oklahoma's official site for more background on the new release for the Sooners.

The offseason is an ideal time to unveil any new uniforms, helmets or logos for college football teams.
Ball State is the latest to showcase a new look for 2014, as the Cardinals unveiled on Friday a black helmet to go with their black jersey.
Here's a look at the helmet, along with the full black uniform.

Kansas coach Charlie Weis isn't incredibly active on Twitter. As of June 25, he has 570 tweets and follows 15 accounts.
The life of a college football coach is busy, so we certainly understand if he doesn't know all of the ins and outs of Twitter.
However, Weis' tweet from a June 25 camp at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City is an odd one.
Here's the tweet with photo attached:
Huge turnout at Arrowhead. Much greater than expected. Boys are ready to compete. This should be fun. Rock Chalk. pic.twitter.com/k79MXEExWD— Coach Charlie Weis (@CoachWeisKansas) June 25, 2014
So where do we start?
"Huge" turnout? It looks like there are less than 50 people in the picture.
Much greater than expected? So how many did he really expect?
Who knows, maybe Weis is trying to have a little fun. And at a football camp, he's not allowed to tweet photos of the recruits. However, we aren't sure that's the best photo to promote Kansas football.
Here are a few tweets from the web:

After some bad luck and injuries at the quarterback position in recent years, Utah finally received some good news. Travis Wilson, who missed the final three games of 2013 due to an intracranial artery condition, has been cleared to play in 2014. The announcement was made through Utah's official athletic page.
In Wilson's first full season as the Utes' starting quarterback, he finished with 1,827 passing yards and 16 touchdowns and added 386 yards and five scores on the ground.
Wilson has deceptive mobility for a quarterback that checks in at 6-foot-6 but perhaps Utah will look to use Oklahoma transfer Kendal Thompson in a change-of-pace role. If Thompson is up to the task, his mobility will allow the Utes to limit some of the hits Wilson takes over the course of the season. Wilson's health and playing in all 12 regular season games could be the difference between Utah making the postseason or missing out on a bowl.
What does Athlon Sports project for Utah in 2014?
Adding another element of intrigue to Utah's quarterback situation in 2014 is new coordinator Dave Christensen. The former Wyoming head coach and Missouri play-caller should help Utah's offense take a step forward in 2014. The Utes have ranked near the bottom of the Pac-12 (conference-only) in yards per play in each of the last three seasons and averaged only 25.6 points per game during Pac-12 play last year.
Christensen's first task this season is to help Wilson eliminate the interceptions. He tossed 13 picks over the final five games and failed to complete more than six passes in each of his last three starts.
The talent is certainly there for Wilson, now it's time for Christensen to harness the junior's ability. And with weapons like running back Devontae Booker and receiver Dres Anderson, Wilson isn't hurting for talent at the skill positions.
Although Wilson's announcement by the school indicated Thompson, redshirt freshmen Connor Manning and Brandon Cox, junior Adam Schulz and true freshman Donovan Isom are battling for the starting job, it would be a huge surprise if anyone other than Wilson takes the opening snap for Utah in 2014.

West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen has already answered one of the Mountaineers' biggest question marks for the 2014 season by naming Clint Trickett as the team's starting quarterback.
Trickett played in eight games for West Virginia in 2013 and completed 123 of 233 passes for 1,605 yards and seven touchdowns. Additionally, he completed only 52.8 percent of his throws and tossed seven picks.
Considering Trickett didn't arrive on campus until after spring practice last year, it's no surprise he struggled at times in Holgorsen's pass-first offense. While Trickett needs to be more consistent, he led West Virginia to an upset win over Oklahoma State and threw for 356 yards in a 52-44 loss to Iowa State in the regular season finale.
Although this announcement isn't too surprising, the timing is odd. It's rare to see a team pick a starter in the summer. However, this move makes sense for West Virginia.
Outside of Trickett, there aren't many proven options in Morgantown. Paul Millard threw for 1,119 yards and six touchdowns last season and wasn't able to stake his claim for the job in the spring. Junior college recruit Skyler Howard appears headed for a redshirt year, and it's uncertain if true freshman William Crest will be up-to-speed on the offense to factor onto the depth chart. Former walk-on Logan Moore is also in the mix and completed 10 of 21 passes for 109 yards in the spring game.
With limited options and a tough opener against Alabama ahead, having an experienced quarterback like Trickett is the right way to go for Holgorsen. Of course, that could change over the course of the season if Howard or Crest proves ready to play.
Although Trickett has been picked as the starter, a quarterback recovering from shoulder surgery isn't guaranteed to have immediate success. Case study: Missouri's James Franklin struggled in 2012 after having offseason shoulder surgery but rebounded in 2013.
Allowing Trickett the opportunity to prepare as the starter all summer should pay dividends for West Virginia. But how much will it make a difference in the win column? Probably not much. The Mountaineers have a brutal schedule, and quarterback play has to be the top concern for Holgorsen. And as surprising as this may sound, West Virginia's best offense might be its rushing attack this year - not the passing game that is a staple of Holgorsen's offenses at Houston and Oklahoma State.
There's no downside for Holgorsen picking Trickett now and avoiding the ongoing questions or debate once camp opens for the fall.
However, West Virginia needs Trickett to be more efficient and effective than he was in 2013, especially as the depth chart isn't overflowing with potential candidates ready to play in 2014.

Eastern Michigan is arguably the toughest job in college football. Located in Ypsilanti, EMU is less than 10 miles from the University of Michigan, and the Eagles' last winning season was in 1995. Eastern Michigan has just one bowl appearance in its history (1987).
New coach Chris Creighton was a good hire for Eastern Michigan, and the program is doing everything it can to raise its profile by announcing plans to use a gray field in 2014.
Much like Boise State's blue field and Eastern Washington's red turf, Eastern Michigan hopes to create some buzz about its program by adding a different look to its field.
Here's a picture from the school's instagram account:

Miami's quarterback situation is one of the biggest mysteries in the ACC for 2014, and coach Al Golden has added another option to start in Kansas transfer Jake Heaps. The addition of Heaps was announced through Miami's official site.
Heaps was regarded as one of the top quarterbacks in the 2010 signing class and played two seasons at BYU. In 2010, Heaps started 10 games with the Cougars and finished with 2,316 yards and 15 touchdowns. After a solid freshman season, Heaps failed to build on that momentum as a sophomore and did not finish 2011 as the starter.
Heaps transferred to Kansas and sat out the 2012 season due to NCAA rules. And after a year to learn under Charlie Weis and the Jayhawks' coaching staff, Heaps was expected to showcase some of the talent that earned him a spot among the nation's top quarterback recruits. However, Heaps struggled in 2013 and finished with just 1,414 passing yards and a 49 percent completion percentage.
Once Montell Cozart was named Kansas' starter in the spring, the writing was on the wall for Heaps' future in Lawrence.
Since Heaps will have his degree from Kansas in June, he is eligible to participate at Miami in 2014. Although Heaps has struggled in recent years, this is a key pickup for Golden and his staff in terms of overall quarterback depth.
Ryan Williams was expected to start, but he suffered a torn ACL in spring practice and is out indefinitely. Williams is expected to return during the 2014 season. However, an official timetable or target date has not been set for his return.
If Williams doesn't return until late in the season and Olsen struggles, Heaps would provide another option if true freshman Brad Kaaya isn't ready.
Heaps certainly hasn't played up to his recruiting hype, and it's unlikely he will make a huge impact with Miami in 2014.
Considering the Hurricanes' top quarterbacks (Olsen and Kaaya) are freshmen, adding an experienced arm like Heaps doesn't hurt. However, does the decision to bring in Heaps signal anything about how the coaching staff feels about their quarterback options going into fall practice?
Although quarterback play is a huge concern for Miami, the offense has one of the top running backs in the nation in Duke Johnson, along with a solid offensive line. Expect to see Johnson and incoming freshman Joseph Yearby have a heavy workload early in the 2014 season.
When you combine a tough crossover with the Atlantic Division (Louisville and Florida State) and the uncertainty at quarterback, it's just a small showcase of why Miami's spot in the Coastal Division is tough to pick. The Hurricanes have talent at the skill positions and on the offensive line, but this team still has major concerns at quarterback and on offense.
2014 is shaping up to be a critical year for Al Golden. By no means is Golden on the hot seat, but Miami is still looking for its first appearance in the ACC Championship. With the rest of the Coastal also saddled with personnel concerns, the Hurricanes should be in the mix to win the division.
Of course, that all depends on quarterback play. And that brings us back to the addition of Heaps. Is this a move for depth? Or a reason to be concerned about Olsen or Kaaya?
Only time will tell.

San Jose State defenders hesitated as Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds faked a pitch to Darius Staten. It was flawless execution of the Midshipmen's signature, triple-option offense.
A block down the field left nothing but daylight ahead of Reynolds, and he scampered 25 yards to cap a wild, 58-52 Navy win in triple-overtime.
"That's a testament to our offense and production as a team," Reynolds said of the Mids' historic night.
The game-winner was Reynolds' eighth touchdown of the contest and seventh via the rush. He said on the cross-country trip from San Jose back to Annapolis, Maryland, the magnitude of his performance hit him.
"On the plane ride, it kind of dawned on me that I'd scored every touchdown," he said. "I'd never done that in middle school or Pee Wee [League]. That's the most I've ever scored."
No one in NCAA history can say they scored as many rushing touchdowns in one game, either.
And no other Football Bowl Subdivision quarterback can stake claim to 31 rushing touchdowns in a single season, as Reynolds can.
In Navy's next outing, its annual rivalry encounter with Army, Reynolds surpassed former Kansas State standout Collin Klein and Navy alum Ricky Dobbs to break the record with touchdown No. 28.
He tacked on one more against the Cadets for good measure, then added two in the Armed Forces Bowl win over Middle Tennessee State.
The single-season record was a goal Reynolds said he set for himself, but had "lost track" of his progress during the season's course. It wasn't until the San Jose State trip and those seven rushing touchdowns that the mark was in sight.
"I definitely didn't expect that," he said.
Presumably, neither did the national television audience tuned in on ESPN. The Mids and Spartans commanded the football spotlight in the only game that late-November Friday night, and Reynolds delivered a star performance that has brought him attention since.
"The biggest mistake you can make is starting to believe your own hype."
In the wake of his record-setting campaign, accolades are making their way to Reynolds. Preseason Heisman Trophy watch lists, such as Chris Huston's via HeismanPundit.com, include his name.
"It's a big deal and I'm definitely grateful to be [mentioned] in the presence of great athletes who have won the Heisman like Jameis Winston and others who are going to be first-round [NFL] draft picks," he said.
With 39 total touchdowns, Reynolds was not far behind Winston, the Florida State quarterback who claimed the award in 2013 with 44 scores—albeit in one game more than Reynolds and Navy played.
Certainly he's a dark horse for the most prestigious individual award in college football. Voters follow a pattern that does not have room for players beyond the cast of power-conference programs.
The last Heisman recipient outside of one of those five leagues was Ty Detmer in 1990. The last service academy player to hoist the Heisman was Navy quarterback Roger Staubach in 1963.
Still, even being suggested for the award is an honor in and of itself for Reynolds. He called it "very humbling," but added his focus is elsewhere as the 2014 season approaches.
"My concern is Ohio State. All that matters is Aug. 30," he said.
Aug. 30 is when the Mids kickoff the 2014 season against Urban Meyer's Buckeyes, a team expected to compete for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
The date is the second half of a series first played in 2009. Behind Dobbs' four touchdowns that September afternoon, the Mids took the Buckeyes to the brink.
Ohio State escaped with a 31-27 victory, but Navy's performance—and especially that of Dobbs--left an impression on Reynolds.
"Even before I knew about Navy football, I watched the Ohio State game in 2009, so I knew the legacy [Dobbs] had left," Reynolds said. "He's on the flyer they send out [to recruits]."
Since setting the rushing touchdown record, Reynolds is well on his way to establishing his own Navy legacy—another goal he said he set for himself.
"I wanted to do some great things with special guys that other people here haven't been able to do," he said.
Upsetting a juggernaut such as Ohio State would certainly qualify. And he'll have had almost eight months to focus on it by the time the Buckeyes and Mids kickoff in Baltimore.
"Jan. 1," Reynolds said is when the team turned attention to Ohio State, just two days after the Armed Forces Bowl. "As soon as the new year started…[the team discussion] was 'we have Ohio State next year.'"
Navy's months of preparation for a likely Top 10-ranked opponent are not being invested in simply putting up a good fight.
Reynolds described an attitude at Navy that certainly applies to the Ohio State matchup.
"Every Saturday, we got out to play and win," he said. "We're not there to survive. We're there to win."
Playing with the Buckeyes, winners of 24 games combined in the past two seasons, is certainly a challenge. But then, playing football, being a student and working toward commission as an officer at the Naval Academy is about routinely overcoming challenges.
A decision for "20-30 years down the road"
Coming out of Madison, Tennessee's Goodpasture Christian School, recruiting feelers came Reynolds' way. Navy was one suitor that offered him an opportunity to play his prep position, quarterback.
But Mids head coach Ken Niumatalolo could also offer an opportunity for Reynolds to start as freshman. Navy replaced Kriss Proctor after the 2011 season, opening a competition Reynolds won by the Mids' Week 5 game against Central Michigan. Prior, he traveled for the 2012 season opener in Dublin, Ireland, against Notre Dame, his first exposure to the college game.
"That was a big opportunity, to go to another country to play a game," he said.
Opportunity defines Reynolds' decision to enroll at the Naval Academy. The student-athlete experience in Annapolis is unique, as he explained.
"The midshipman life [compared] to the normal college student life," he said. "It's a complete 180."
And for Navy football players, the process can be even more demanding.
"Everyone, for the most part, is allotted four weeks of leave. [Football players] take one or two," he said. "The rest of the time we're training up in Annapolis. We sacrifice most of our summer.
"But that's something we knew coming into the Naval Academy, joining the military," he added. "We were going to have to be part of the structured lifestyle to better prepare ourselves to be Naval officers."
Receiving commission as either a naval or Marine Corps officer is an opportunity Reynolds said goes beyond what he does on the football field.
"There are so many great things that come from graduating from the Naval Academy," he said. "I even had a coach recruiting me to a different school tell me, 'you'd be dumb not to take [the Navy] offer.'
"'Make this decision for 20-30 years down the road, not five years down the road.'"
Much like his game-winning touchdown rush to beat San Jose State in triple-overtime that late-November night, there's daylight ahead for Keenan Reynolds—20 years down the road, or simply in the upcoming football season.

My name is Larry Ferlazzo, and I am a Luddite.
Well, maybe not quite a "smash the machine" kind of Luddite. But, coming from spending nineteen years as a community organizer and seeing that face-to-face relationships are the real glue that can genuinely bind diverse people together in struggles for social change, I am very suspicious of the general effect technology has on relationships in our society. And I am equally skeptical of claims that technology can revolutionize our schools.
So what's a sort of Luddite doing writing in a blog about educational technology, and having his own blog about using technology in the teaching of English as a Second Language, not to mention being the Grand Prize Winner of the International Reading Association Presidential Award for Reading and Technology?
Well, I believe, and a number of studies have shown, that used in an appropriate manner, technology can indeed have a significant impact on academic achievement for second language learners and learning disabled students. I'm an ESL teacher in the largest inner-city high school (over half of our students are English Language Learners) in Sacramento, California, and we have used technology successfully with our immigrant students and their families, including providing home computers and DSL service to assist them in studying English. I've also begun working with the Special Education department at our school to expand their use of technology with students.
In terms of mainstream students, I do think it's important for schools to equip our students with basic computer skills. I've also seen, experienced, and read about teachers and students doing extraordinary projects with technology that have been very engaging and have had tremendous educational value, which I think should be encouraged and supported. I'm also aware of many extraordinary projects that I believe have had an equal or greater impact on student achievement that haven't used any high-tech gizmos at all, and I believe those should be encouraged and supported, too. I've seen teachers use technology in useless ways, and have seen terrible lessons not using technology. The key, I believe, has been the teacher and not the tools. I'm not a Web 2.0 True Believer.
I use technology with my non-ESL students, but I don't use it during my classtime with them. They all have a Computer Applications class and that teacher has agreed to let my students do technology-related projects (that I assign) connected to my class during part of his classtime. They use that time to write online about various topics and comment on each other's journals. I've found that using a web application called Your Draft is easier, at least for my students and me, than a blog. I create a webpage, post an online journal link for each student, and they can very easily just click on it and write, or copy and paste. On that same page they create a myriad of other Web 2.0 projects related to the unit we are studying at the time. One example is using a great site called Fleck to annotate webpages with virtual yellow post-its to demonstrate the use of reading strategies. Here's an example of a student demonstrating the use of "asking questions" in our study of Natural Disasters.
Would I use my own classtime with them to use these programs? Sometimes, sure, but probably not a whole lot. This way, though, I, in effect, get an extra half-hour a day working with my ninth grade regular English students in a way they find very engaging. I think they would also say they are also very engaged when they are in our class and not using technology.
I don't even like to use much technology when I give workshops on using the Web with English Language Learners. In these workshops, as in my own classroom, I'm a fan of transparencies and overhead projectors. Tech conference organizers usually think I'm kidding when I ask if there will be an overhead projector in my room. But I think it's safe to say that teachers who come to my workshops (and students in my classes) are just fine with it. Again, I've seen some great workshops using high-tech gear, and I've also seen some real disasters. Equally, I've been in some loser low-tech trainings and some great ones, too. It's the presenter, not his/her tools.
What do you think? Am I just being a fuddy-duddy "digital immigrant?"

The Oskaloosa Herald
Letter to the editor:
On behalf of the Oskaloosa Symphony Orchestra Board of Directors, I would like to thank the Oskaloosa Community and those who voted for their "Celebrity Guest Conductor" candidate. The candidates succeeded in raising over $ 10,000 dollars, which was a record amount for this event. This wonderful support makes it possible for the orchestra to continue providing quality live symphonic music to the community in future concerts. Symphony orchestras all over the country, in both large and small communities, are finding it very difficult to support their orchestras financially so it is very gratifying to see this level of interest and support here in Oskaloosa.
Conductors; Ruthi Rogers, Sherry Vavra, Jeff Morris, Jim North, Mike Sytsma, and Steve Brown did an excellent job of collecting votes (dollars). They also were very creative in their "conductor attire" and conductor "batons" which was extremely entertaining for the audience and the orchestra. Each conductor was able to collect substantial amounts of the total dollars. As the totals were tabulated during the concert, Mike Sytsma was the winner. Final tabulations including donations that arrived after that tabulation showed that Mike Sytsma and Steve Brown were in a virtual tie for first place.
The orchestra board would like to point out that they were all "Winners in Our Book" and that we are very grateful for their willingness to help the Oskaloosa Symphony Orchestra.

When veteran driver Jon Stanbrough ushered in a new season in Florida back in February, he found himself facing a pair of unfamiliar challenges.
Running for a new car owner and presenting a different driving style that has him filling the role of points chaser on not only one but three midwestern sprint car circuits.
While he appears comfortable racing for long-time car owner Daryl Tate, the points-chasing approach hasn't come all that easy for a guy accustomed to chasing checkered flags and not points.
With the current campaign rapidly approaching the mid-season mark, it appears Stanbrough is on target to fulfill preseason commitments while still making his share of visits to victory lane.
At the end of last week Stanbrough had already won the King of Indiana Sprint Series title and was leading the points on both the Midwest Sprint Car Series and USAC sprint circuits. There's a distinct possibility of making it a triple crown sweep at seasons end.
The normally reserved and soft spoken Stanbrough seems almost as uncomfortable discussing points as he does chasing them. It's a task he doesn't embellish but knows goes along with the duties of the modern day professional race driver.
Seldom will you find the hard-charging Avon racer satisfied with a second-place finish but such was the scenario last Tuesday night at the Action track.
After coming up just short of edging out Levi Jones for a win that would have tied him as the winningest driver in Action track history Stanbrough took time to reflect on the current campaign and changes that have come his way.
"I don't like running for points but I've made the commitment that we would try and win some championships this year. Hopefully we'll get that done and next year forget the points and go back to racing my normal deal," he said moments following the conclusion of the 25-lap MSCS sprint feature.
Stanbrough concedes he's had to alter his driving style in the unfamiliar role of points chaser. "I feel I can still race hard but when I get myself into a position where it could be a position that might not end up the way I want it to I'm more apt to back off or try again."
"I guess I've become a little smarter points racer. To finish is better than to get yourself in a position where you crash, not finish and lose points," he reasoned.
"We've already won the KISS championship and can win the MSCS and USAC deals. Hopefully we can get both. All I know I'm done chasing championships. I'm going racing next year," he exclaimed.
n NASCAR Night — In what become a welcomed change from that of recent years it was nice to view the nights action for the most part dust free. All the makings were there for a dusty affair-the high temps and steady moisture depleting winds- but Reece O'Connor and crew were on top of the conditions throughout the day and night.
Action Track supporters may have found themselves with a new fan favorite with modified feature winner Justin Allgaier. His winning efforts on the track and the promotional efforts on the part of himself and fellow NASCAR racer Kenny Wallace easily won over a new fan base locally.
And how about the guy everybody came to see-Tony Stewart. While at times Stewart's off-track antics can wear thin one can never question the guys ability to drive a race car. Any type- any track. He was in non-wing sprint, modified and yes champ dirt car at the Action Track Tuesday night and less than 72 hours later muscling a stock car to a runnerup finish on the road course at Sears Point.
Two of the most eye catching moves of the night involved local drivers Braylon Fitzpatrick and Kenny Carmichael Jr. Fitzpatrick's wheel brushing incident with Jon Stanbrough may have gone unseen by most but those who caught it, including his dad John Fitzpatrick flinched at the potential of a nasty bone jarring ride for the talented newcomer.
Carmichael's fourth turn tangle with Kenny Wallace in the modifieds also had the makings of a bad night for the local driver but his quick actions left the NASCAR star positioned for a hit from uncoming traffic while the caging North Terre Haute racer sped off to safety.

In wake of Pariseau high-rise fire, Manchester housing officials consider smoking ban
The housing authority has so far resisted calls from the federal government to convert the authority's 1,271 apartments into smoke-free zones, but officials said it will be discussed, at least informally, among the governing board of the authority.
"Obviously, with what's happened at the Pariseau, it's something the board should talk about," said George Copadis, chairman of the housing authority Board of Commissioners. "It's a double-edged sword; these folks, basically it's their homes."
Last year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development encouraged directors of public housing authorities to make some or all of their properties smoke-free. Most public housing authorities in New Hampshire have banned indoor smoking - including apartments. But the larger authorities, such as Manchester, Nashua and Concord, have not, according to data compiled by the New Hampshire Tobacco Prevention & Control Program.
Some housing authorities have been smoke-free for years.
At the 580-unit Portsmouth Housing Authority, a smoking ban went into effect in July 2009, said Craig Welch, the newly named executive director. He said the smoking restrictions protect the health of non-smoking residents and employees.
Tenants can smoke, but not in their apartments or indoor common areas. Some of Portsmouth's larger projects offer outdoor smoking areas.
"It's still difficult," Welch said, adding that mentally ill tenants are the ones who most often violate the smoking ban. Although no one has been evicted for violating the smoking provisions of their lease, that is possible, he said.
The 250-unit Laconia Housing Authority went smoke-free in August 2011. Smoking is prohibited on housing authority property entirely. Interim Director Claire LaMay said if smoking were allowed outdoors, smoke could drift into apartments.
"We do not stop people from smoking; they just cannot smoke on our property," she said,
Both housing authorities gave lengthy notices of the change in policy. No-smoking provisions were added to individual leases when they came up for renewal. And the authorities offered smoking cessation programs to tenants.
Stewart Property Management, which manages privately owned, low-income apartments in New Hampshire, has also taken steps to make its properties smoke-free, including the downtown Carpenter Center in Manchester.
HUD urged public housing authorities last May to make the change, noting that the elderly, youth and people with chronic illness are especially susceptible to second-hand smoke and related illnesses such as heart disease, respiratory problems and cancer, HUD said.
It also said that smoking is the leading cause of fire-related deaths in multi-family buildings, based upon a 2005 report. The HUD recommendations are not binding.
Dick Dunfey, executive director of the MHRA, said a no-smoking policy has been discussed at the staff level. Currently, smoking is prohibited in common areas such as hallways and activity rooms.
He said tenants haven't been pressing for a smoking ban. Several months ago, one resident complained about cigarette smoke around the entrance of a building. The staff encouraged smokers not to smoke so close to the entrance, and they complied, he said.
Dunfey is cool to a ban, and said it's not wise to set policy based on a single incident, such as the Pariseau fire.
"Residents of Manchester Housing and Redevelopment Authority properties are living in their homes," Dunfey said, "they have the right to the peaceful enjoyment and liberties of their own homes."

Taste- hops, malt, very nice
Mouthfeel- medium bodied

This beer is 4 years old.
Pours a murky deep brown with a modest cream head that dissipates fairly quickly.
Aroma is dominated by caramel malt, toffee, and floral hops. Notes of citrus and dark fruit are evident.
Flavor reveals more sweet toffee and caramel malt, with herbal tea hops and light citrus notes adding contrast. The malt is initially cloying, but the lightly bitter finish cleans things up a bit.
Body is fairly thick, with modest carbonation and noted alcohol warmth.
This beer has aged nicely. I know ipas are intended to be had fresh, but it got lost in the cellar. Still a nice beer.

Pours a cloudy orange and yellow colored as most IPAs do. A perfect opaque haze here give the beer the look of density and unfiltered goodness.
Candy sweetness with a touch of grassy and citrus hops at the end. There's a lot of subtle tropical fruits and aromas going on here, but it comes up underwhelming.
There are amazing hop flavors going on here. The problem is this complex blend of amazing American hops is being over powered by a heavy and fruity malt that doesn't really mesh well. Yes, this is still an IPA and not barely wine, but the blending of flavors is off. There's is an almost copper metallic flavor that is coming in here to and messing with the balance.
Not much to say on the mouthfeel. Carbonation is a bit lacking, but it is fine on mouthfeel.
Don't take my words too harshly, but there isn't much left to say on most IPAs. This is tasty stuff, but it is really far from the better double IPAs. it is also less than 10 for a sixer which might make it one of the better values I've seen though. This comes up well short of anything outstanding in flavor and it isn't going to make the group of flawless even if perhaps not perfect. Still worth a try if you see it.

light amber color, thin white head.
A really nice floral and bubblegum aroma layered on some cookie dough malt.
Flavor was the same - this is the first time I was pleased by a double IPA for it's all around enjoyable flavor rather than the sole impact of the hops.
Medium-full body, going soft over the tongue to a soft mild yet persistent hop and malt finish.

perfectly clear copper color, minimal creamy head. caramel and toffee notes dominate the aroma with a bit of resiny pine and grapefruit in the background. enters with moderately sweet malts balanced out by moderate hop bitterness. smooth on the palate with a spicy, bitter finish. a good value at $7 per six-pack but not sure this should be labeled as an imperial.

Leftover bottle from 2009. Mendocino didn't release this on in 2010, unfortunately. Pours a nice golden color with a nice white head and decent lacing. Smells great.. lots of citrus up front. I'm picking up some grapefruit, pineapple, and a slight amount of pine. Pretty bitter. Mouthfeel is nice, rich, smooth; medium-bodied. Drinkability is good, easy drinking with great flavors.
I never looked at this beer as an Imperial IPA, it drinks like a regular IPA to me.. and a really good one at that! Hopefully this one makes a comeback this winter! Excellent IPA!

Reviewed from notes.
Poured into a tulip. Color is a moderate copper with a white head and a pretty good amount of ringy lacing. The nose brings some very light malt along with some pine and citrus hops. A bit of grapefruit and pine needles throughout. The taste is a bit of light grain in the background, but mostly some bitterness. A bit of citrus peel, but not too much actual hop flavor. Good bitter feel and drinks well.

Notes from 08/25/10
A:Poured a copper color with a fingers worth of head that slowly dies down, leaving
a very nice lacing as it is drank down
S:Sweet malt first attack the nose followed up with a pleasant citrus and piney aroma.
Very subtle
T:Unlike the smell detects this seems to be more of a hop bomb than expected from
the nose, some sweet malt up front and then a attack of hops that taste remarkably
fresh all most like a wet harvest ale.
M:Well put together body but just slightly off on the carbonation. Leaves a nice oily
coat on the palate
D:Got this as a single 12oz. bottle and gonna go back and get a sixer of this. Very tasting,
drinkable, and fairly balanced but not....sounds weird but thats what I got out of it. Just enough malt to keep off the grid and a good deal of hops to really come thru.

look: 4.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Poured a pleasing golden orange with a weak head. Faintest nose of citrus & flowers.
First sip immediately astringent but bloomed into a pleasing array of hop spice & malty sweetness. But this one lacks tha balance needed to pull of a big DIPA. Here, the hops take that medicinal turn, overly sharp and slightly lacking in depth. The malt fails to hold up its end and little of the sweetness or bread profiles are there.
Too big to session, but plenty good enough now & again. With outstanding DIPAs available nearly everywhere, "pretty darn good" just isn't good enough. This one's good - not great.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Poured from a 12oz bottle into a snifter. No dating info that I could find. Was a hazy orange color with lots of carb streams from the etching. It had a good sized white head that settled into a constant foam cap. Great sheeting with that slowly slides back with some sticking.
The aroma was very good with lots of pine, grapefruit, pineapple and some caramel malt. Good nose on it especially after a good swirl. The flavor however didn't deliver as well on the promise of the aroma. The fruitiness of the hops didn't come thru as much as the pine and the bitter. I would have preferred a little less harsh bitter with more of the malt to balance it. I'll rate it more for the style than my personal preference though so 4 here but 3.5 personally. The mouthfeel was full and chewy with good carb levels.
Overall, a good but not great ADIPA. Lacking some hop/malt balance and a bit too harsh on the bitterness for me. Recommend if you like the really bitter ones. For me, I'm growing into them so will try again done the road to see. Not available here in TX so shipped back from my Indy trip. Rotation - try again in 6-12 months as my bitter palate develops. If no change in that, then one is enough for me. [RS;RS;BL]

12oz bottle into SN tulip pint glass. Reviewed from old notes.
A: Pours a honey amber with a finger of thick than head that reduced down to a thick film. Very good head retention and good lacing present.
S: Hop resin and oil with undertones of sweet caramel malt and a touch of bread.
T: More hop kick than some, but not enough to really be called a double. Citrus rind hops up front that tapers to sweet malt with a sharp bitter finish. Lots of citrus rind and some pine.
M: Decent carbonation and a slightly watery mouthfeel. Finish is sharp and crisp.
D: Good for a hoppy IPA, but not quite a double. Very drinkable, although not in my top 10.

Looks clear with tall off white head that settles and remains quite sudsy with some foamy splatter of lace. Smells of cotton candy, peach and apricot juice, and grapefruit, with a little piny resin. Tastes strong of intense grapefruit, sweet rock candy, some doughy bread and a little funky resin. A little malt balance present, but not outspoken. Lingering dough flavor after bitterness dies down. Overall nice, smooth medium full body with a sticky bitter finish that isn't too thick. Drinks well, satisfying and presenting tons of hop character to satiate the craving. Not the best I've had, but very pleasant.

12 oz bottle poured into a Duvel tulip. Thick white head a little over an inch high. Good retention and leaves delicate webs of lacing. Color is a dark mahogany red. I can see through to the center, but it's hard to make out much more on the other side.
Smell is a standard Imperial IPA force of hops. Dark pine with a hint of citrus. Very green and leafy. Taste is what you would expect. Hops are not overly aggressive, the caramel malts do their job to maintain a balance.
Mouthfeel is a little lighter than a lot of other Imperial IPAs. Still a medium body with a little stickiness around the edges. All in all, not bad.

President Obama's Impressive List of AccomplishmentsTuesday, October 16th, 2012
Over the past three-and-a-half years, President Obama and Democrats have successfully enacted significant progressive legislation and executive policies that have, among other things, created 5.2 million private sector jobs over the past 31 months, kept our nation safe and taken out Bin Laden, made a fairer and more just society, advanced gender equality, and rescued the American auto industry. At stake in November 2012 is whether these accomplishments will be repealed by the GOP, or whether we will be able to continue to focus on moving our country forward in 2013 and beyond.
Unfortunately, the message of the significant progress that has been achieved so far during the Obama Administration won't get out unless we progressives talk to our neighbors and friends, write letters to our local newspapers, and use social media to help keep other voters well informed. In order to help our readers do so, below are links to Winning Progressive's coverage of just some of the Obama Administration's progressive accomplishments. Please share widely.

OTTUMWA — Malls across America are standing vacant or shutting down, but Ottumwa's mall is on the upswing, said its manager.
According to Green Street Advisors, a leader in real estate research, 10 percent of the nation's indoor malls will die within the decade.
But since Lexington Realty International began managing and leasing store space at Quincy Place Mall last summer, the mall will not suffer a similar fate, said mall manager Staci Shettler.
Lexington Realty International, a New Jersey-based company, owns and has revived several malls in the Midwest.
Ottumwa's 23-year-old, 243,399-square-foot mall has two anchor tenants: Herberger's and J.C. Penney's. According to LRI, since it took over last year, expenses have already been lowered 40 percent and the mall has four new tenants: rue21 opened in October, Bubba-Q's opened in April, MC Sports will open Aug. 26 and Glik's will open in early October.
"It's amazing what's happening here," Shettler said. "I've been here as mall manager for a little over five years, and this is the most leasing activity I've seen in five years by far, and probably more so than in the past 10 years. Of course there are other things in the works ... that we just can't speak about yet, but obviously we're concentrating on leasing out any of the vacancies we have."
When the mall was purchased last summer, it was 63 percent occupied. Today, that's grown to 81 percent. And, she said, 100 percent occupancy is possible.
She has worked at the mall in some capacity for the last 17 years and has "seen it at its best and at its worst."
"When I took this job five years ago, I took it knowing what the mall could be and knowing there was potential here, and with the right management and right owners, it could be revitalized," she said.

Assistant Sports Editor
In the press box at Point Pleasant High School (which, by the way, has the nicest high school football complex I have seen in the state of West Virginia), someone referred to Greenbrier West as a "powerhouse."
He's right. The Cavaliers have established themselves as a legitimate player in prep football. This year's senior class alone — Tyler Parker, Aaron Winals, Zack Johnson, Josh Bridges, Josh Martin and Zack Grossl — won 37 games, had an undefeated regular season and three trips to the playoffs, advancing to the Class AA semifinals in 2010.
Their careers came to an end Saturday with an agonizing 21-12 loss to undefeated Wahama in a Class A quarterfinal playoff game. West, which finished the year 10-2 and was rated sixth in the state, played the White Falcons tougher than any team had through their first 11 games, but two turnovers and a couple of big Wahama plays sent the Cavaliers home earlier than they would have liked.
"I'm disappointed for them," West coach Lewis McClung said of his players in general and seniors in particular. "We wanted to make a little deeper run than we did, but I'm real pleased with the way they played. This group of seniors, they have a lot of character and have been great leaders for us.
"We hope that our junior group is going to step up and show us that kind of leadership."
The juniors who will be seniors in 2013 — the likes of quarterbacks Malik Boatwright and Mike Goddard, running back Corey Cox, fullback/linebacker Chase McClung and linemen Chris Gabbert and Justin Hamrick, just to name a few of the 15 — give the Cavalier faithful reason for continued confidence and provide an example of why the team is a perpetual contender.
West seems to never stop reloading. From Dylan Trout, Jabez Fleming and Janeek Wiggan, to Brian Gray, Bryan Spitzer and Chris Fleming, Charmco keeps churning out talent.
At times, it seems the only thing that can stop the Cavs is the Cavs themselves.
They have only lost nine games over the last four seasons, and the last three can be directly attributed to turnovers. They proved deadly in an upset loss to Braxton County in a Class AA first-round playoff game last year, and six turnovers cost them a 29-20 loss to Buffalo this season.
Against Wahama, West turned the ball over inside the White Falcons' 10-yard line to kill what looked to be a sure scoring drive. Another fumble near midfield came after Wahama went ahead by nine with 5:02 to play.
"Turnovers have killed us this year," McClung said. "We typically, in years past, haven't turned the ball over. We're pretty reliable. But we have turned it over a few times this year, and it's really hurt us when we have."
That doesn't take away from what Greenbrier West has accomplished, but McClung wants more. He wants the team's reputation to expand beyond the PikeViews and Richwoods and Pocahontas Counties of the world.
"We continue to look for a signature win," McClung said. "We try. We thought we had a good opportunity here (against Wahama). We fought hard but we didn't get it.
"We've established ourselves in the southern part of the state. Now we want to take it to a state level where we can compete with anyone in the state."

I got thinking each of us has done something in our past hat just wasn't right, and got away with it. Think of this site as your minister and get your repentance here. The solution is forgiven by spending time on fearnet and being good to your fellow fearneters.
I will start off. I was in chicago and on a elevator in the sears tower. Sorry but i had burritos for lunch and, well my exhaust backfired and for 35 floors we were stuck in the coffin. 3 other people were in there with me, and they all blamed one other person who denied it was him. Me being the helpful kind didn't say anything and when they got off they were harrassing him horribly. It is time to say ( it was me and if you are reading this i appologize sincerly. LOL )
OK YOUR TURN, don't be shy i know you have one as well. And you will feel better when you let this off your chest, you know you will. Lets keep it light though, it is all in fun.

The father of three boys missing since Thanksgiving was arraigned Wednesday afternoon on parental kidnapping charges.
John Skelton waived his right to an extradition hearing on Tuesday and was promptly processed and driven away to face charges across the state border in Michigan.
Skelton, 39, had been fighting extradition on three charges of parental kidnapping in the disappearance of his sons Andrew, 9, Alexander, 7, and Tanner, 5. But during a Tuesday morning hearing in Toledo he agreed to his return to his home state.
Skelton's $30 million bond was extended as a condition of his extradition.
Within an hour of the hearing's end, Skelton was driven off by Morenci, Mich., Police Chief Larry Weeks and another officer.
Skelton's attorney, Merle Dech, would not say why Skelton decided to stop fighting extradition.
The unemployed long-haul truck driver was arrested on Nov. 30 on three counts of parental kidnapping.
His three sons were last seen Thanksgiving Day in Morenci and reported missing the following day by their mother, Tanya Skelton, when their father didn't bring them home after an arranged visit.
Tanya Skelton, 44, filed for divorce in September. A judge gave her custody of the boys, but she and John Skelton reached an agreement on visitation.
But according to police reports obtained by Local 4, John Skelton threatened to take his sons to Florida in September and suggested they might not return.
READ DOCUMENTS: Skelton Police Reports
The report states Tanya Skelton called police after she received a phone call from the elementary school the boys attended, telling her John Skelton had signed them out of class and that he indicated he was taking them to Florida. She told police she had no idea he was taking them out of state.
Police said the couple was able to talk things over and returned the boys to their mother.
Volunteers spent a week searching the countryside around Morenci and across the border in Ohio. Hundreds have offered their time and money, including an account set up at a local bank to take donations for the family and an anonymous donor whom police say has offered a $10,000 reward for the return or recovery of the brothers.
During an interview with Local 4, John Skelton?s parents, William and Roxanne Skelton, said their son told them during a jail visit that he only had one message to give: that the boys were OK.
"(John) said to tell you that his boys are safe and sound," Roxanne Skelton said.
William Skelton said after talking to his son he believes his grandsons are safe with someone. He said he thinks his son did the right thing, but maybe not in the right way.
Morenci Police Chief Larry Weeks said the father initially told them he gave the boys to a woman he met online and had been having a relationship with. John Skelton told police he asked the woman, Joann Taylor, to take the boys to their mother.
But Weeks said investigators have not been able to find Taylor and they do not believe Skelton and Taylor had a relationship. Police also have not located the van Taylor was reportedly driving.
Two people have reported seeing the boys in Ohio.
Sandy Jones works at the House of Donuts in Sandusky, Ohio, and said she remembers seeing a woman with three young boys in the store the Sunday morning after Thanksgiving.
?The woman looked weird. She had short dark brown hair that looked like it had just been dyed. It was really wiry. She looked up one time when she first came through the door,? Jones said. ?She wasn?t saying a lot but was kind of pushing the boys to the door.?

Well I tried to watch but Spike tv went dark for me 5 minutes before it started. All the other channels worked. I dvr'ed it and when I tried to watch the recording, it froze and reset the box. When it came back online, bellator was deleted. Thanks Time warner cable...
Bellator 85 Pulls Biggest TV Ratings in Promotion History with Move to Spike TV | MMAWeekly.com
Kay mentioned that the show started off even stronger than the average, drawing 1.1 million viewers for the Pat Curran vs. Patricio "Pitbull" Freire featherweight title fight, and then, as expected, dropped off a little bit as the show went past midnight for East Coast viewers. He mentioned that they always want to try and finish by midnight, as that is the notorious tipping point for viewer drop-off, but "it's a live event, there's not much you can do about that."
Caught the fights this morning, I don't have a TV anymore so I can't watch Spike like I used to for the UFC. I always try to catch the big and exciting fights from Bellator and I follow several of its fighters. I hope they do well; I really like the format.
Very impressed with the production and camera angles during the fights. Watched the Pitbull vs Curan and the Babalu fight, but had to hit the hay after that. I thought it looked like a solid product...was my first time watching Bellator...
Bellator Looking at Ratings on Spike TV as a Marathon Not a Sprint
Bellator Looking at Ratings on Spike TV as a "Marathon Not a Sprint" | MMAWeekly.com
The next few days will be a crucial time for Bellator Fighting Championships as they debut on Spike TV and look to define themselves as a promotion on the same level of the UFC.
The UFC has a stranglehold on the market when casual observers are talking about the major leagues of MMA, but that doesnt mean Bellator cant exist on the same playing field.
No one doubts that its going to take time for Bellator to build an audience and grow viewers at Spike, just like the UFC encountered when they moved to the network in 2005. That doesnt mean judgments wont be made based on the first show airing on Thursday night featuring two title fights and the launch of the newest installment of their light heavyweight tournament.
Whether right or wrong, a secondary judgment will also be rendered when the ratings for Bellators debut come out 24 to 48 hours after the show airs. Can Bellator produce the same kinds of numbers that the UFC once did on Spike TV?
Its a valid question, but maybe not one that should be asked after one show, and thats the attitude that Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney is keeping as his company looks to build into the next major MMA promotion on television.
One of the things thats great from my perspective is that Kevin Kay, who heads Spike network, has really been a partner in every sense of the word to me and to the organization. He and I have a very similar view of this we view this as a marathon, not as a sprint, said Rebney when speaking about the ratings with MMAWeekly Radio.
Were tweaking it and building it, but our vision is very long in terms of where this is going to go, and very long term in terms of our expectations and how were going to build it.
Bellator first debuted highlight shows on Spike TV called Bellator 360″ featuring some of their best and brightest fights from the past couple of years. Between the first two airings, the show ended up with nearly a million viewers overall, and that has to bee seen as encouraging considering the programming barely had any promotion ahead of time.
Rebney promises not to freak out good or bad when the final numbers for Thursdays show come back from Nielsens rating system. Hes looking at the long-term goals for Bellator and Spike TV, and that wont be accomplished on the first day they go into business together on live television.
You become less concerned with the immediacy and the numbers, and youre concerned with building out incredible fighters, building up the back stories behind them, creating great programming, creating the best mixed martial arts content anybody can find on television. Thats really what our focus is, said Rebney.
Its a good start and well see where we go from there.

Elder Abuse
Elder abuse is a crime. It is harm done to a senior by someone he/she knows and trusts, whether a family member, visitor, social worker, doctor or nurse. It affects thousands of Americans in all cultural, social, and income groups.
Often it is not reported because the senior is afraid of revenge by the abuser or is ashamed that he cannot handle the abuse himself. He/she may be concerned with being labeled as too demanding or senile. Here are some warning signs to look for:
Physical abuse:
This can include hitting, beating, pushing, sexual assault, forcing consumption of drugs, or locking the senior in a room or house. Also look for:
- Unusual cuts, bruises, burns, and bites
- Poor personal hygiene
- Untreated bedsores
- Dirty clothing and linen
- Emotional withdrawal
Emotional abuse:
This may include yelling, use of harsh works, ignoring the senior, treating the senior like a child, and not allowing the senior to speak with others. Look for:
- Confusion
- Fear and anxiety
- Refusal to speak in front of someone
- Certain subjects are not discussed
Financial abuse:
This may include not allowing the senior to spend money the way he/she wants, telling lies to get money or property from the senior, stealing money, jewelry, or other possessions, or forcing a senior to sell or give away property or sign a Power of Attorney. Also look for:
- Malnutrition
- Belongings are missing
- Sudden changes in the senior's will
- Signing of a Power of Attorney without discussing it with a lawyer
If your elderly relatives or friends show signs of abuse, follow these steps to help them:
- Make a note of the signs you see.
- Call the Missouri Division of Senior Services Abuse Hotline at 1-800-392-0210
- Talk to the senior and offer help. Explain that counselors from agencies can help without laying blame on anyone.
- If you suspect fraud, physical or sexual assault, theft, forgery, or forcible confinement, contact the police.
- If you think a resident of a nursing or retirement home is being mistreated by a staff member, visitor, or other resident, report it to the person in charge and follow up to be sure action is taken.

— The Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers certainly went big and bold with their waiver deal last week.
The two organizations, one a recent big spender (Boston), the other long one of the more frugal of the big market franchises (the Dodgers) have essentially swapped identities.
What is less certain is that either is going to get what they want out of the transaction.
The Dodgers' new ownership, sensing an opportunity to win now, got some big names. Adrian Gonzalez(!) Josh Beckett(!) Carl Crawford(!) Nick Punto(?) — three All-Stars and a role player.
They also extended their payroll commitments for 2013, according to Peter Gammons, to $188.7 million (with $8.3 million of that going to Manny Ramirez, who last played for the Dodgers in 2010).
This is a business plan — investing heavily in aging stars — that has been largely renounced by even the free-spending Yankees and which the Red Sox, with this trade, are trying to escape.
The Dodgers got pricey names, but whether they got the talent they're paying for is another matter. All the veterans are 30 or older, and none has had a good season.
Crawford won't play again this year, and Beckett in particular has looked like a shell of his former self (ERA 5.23, and a career low 6.6 strikeouts per nine innings). These two, frankly, are Dire Straits additions — Money for Nothing.
Gonzalez's slugging percentage with Boston this year was down 89 points from 2011, and this is easily his worst season since he emerged as a regular in 2006.
For the Dodgers, this trade is largely about 2012, and Gonzalez is realistically the only useful piece for this year. Even in this down year by his standards, he does represent a significant upgrade over James Loney at first base.
The Red Sox, conceding that they aren't making the postseason, unloaded three contracts they had come to regret, saving some $260 million in future obligations.
The chatter out of Beantown is that the Sox think they've "lost their way" with an emphasis on high-priced veterans as opposed to investing in their farm system, and that this trade gives them the opportunity to reverse
Perhaps. Certainly the two pitchers Boston figures to get when all the pieces in this puzzle are officially moved — Rubby De La Rosa and Allen Webster — are talented arms. The others in the deal are marginal talents.
But the new labor agreement — with its bonus pools in the draft and limitations on international signings — figures to make it much more difficult for teams to exploit a financial edge in player development.
A year ago the Sox could have more easily plowed their savings into high-end amateur talent. Not so today.
Maybe the $260 million will largely go into the pockets of the Boston ownership group; more likely, the Sox will enter another cycle of free-agent spending.
With the Red Sox, as with their notorious rivals in New York, nothing exceeds like excess.
