For the Cheese Sauce
For the Filling
2. Cook the macaroni until al dente (a minute or two less than the package instructions). Rinse in cold water, drain and set aside.
3. Pour the milk into a small saucepan, stick the bay leaf to the onion with the clove and add to the milk. Slowly bring the milk to a simmer on a medium-low heat. Melt 1/2 of the butter in a medium saucepan, add the chopped shallots and cook at a medium heat until soft. Add the flour, dry mustard and white pepper and cook another 2 minutes.
4. Slowly add the milk to the butter and flour mixture, whisking constantly. Add the studded onion and the worcestershire to the sauce and simmer at least 20 minutes, until thick and creamy.
5. Remove from heat, discard the onion and stir in 1/2 cup each of the cheddar and gruyere. Lightly season with thyme and just a pinch of nutmeg and cayenne.
7. Stir in the remaining cheddar and gruyere with the noodles and warm sauce and top evenly with the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
8. Dot with the remaining butter and bake uncovered for twenty to thirty minutes until brown and bubbly.
9. Scary tip: If you decide to go door-to-door borrowing stuff from your neighbors instead of shopping, you may end up finding out more about them than you ever want to know!

Campus Public Safety
Honor, Integrity, Service
Officers on duty 24-hours a day, call:
Forest Grove
The mission of Campus Public Safety is to provide:
- A safe, secure, and enjoyable environment for the University Community.
- Protection for the members of the Pacific University Community and the property of the University.
The goal is achieved in part by maintaining a highly visible department through regular patrol patterns by vehicle, bicycle, and foot. By having this high visibility, crime is deterred and responsible civil behavior is encouraged.
Services Provided
Campus Public Safety officers provide a variety of services to members of the Pacific University Community. Please have your Boxer ID card with you.
- Escort Program: CPS officers are available to escort students, staff, or faculty members on and off campus.
- Jump-starting vehicles with dead batteries.
- Inflating flat tires of vehicles.
- Opening locked vehicles.
- Key assists into secured labs, classrooms, or residence hall rooms (when Residence Life staff are unavailable).
When Should I Call CPS?
- If you see something happening that does not look right or someone who does not seem to belong on campus, call Campus Public Safety right away.
- If you are the victim of a crime, call right away. Campus Public Safety Officers will write a report and contact the local Police for you.
- Medical emergencies call 911 first and have someone else call Campus Public Safety right away. CPS Officers will coordinate with local emergency services and provide them access as necessary.
The basic rule of thumb is; when in doubt, call CPS!
How To Report an Incident
Be ready to tell the CPS officer what is happening and where it is happening
CPS officers will need some basic information when you call to report an incident. Try to note the following characteristics of suspicious persons or vehicles when reporting them to CPS:
Person: Gender, race, age, height, weight, build, hair color, facial hair (mustache/beard), sideburns, clothing worn, speech style, gait or limp, scars, tattoos, etc.
Vehicle: License Plate, make, model, body style (two-door, four-door, convertible, etc.), color, identifying marks, scratches, or bumper stickers
Engraving Valuables
You can borrow an engraver from the CPS Office. Engrave your property utilizing your driver's license number in the following format: state of issue, driver's license number, and the initials "DL" (without any spaces) like this: OR1234567DL
- Be alert and aware of people around you
- Try to avoid walking alone particularly at night. Go with a friend, group, or call campus Public Safety for an escort.
- Avoid shortcuts, dark, or secluded areas
- Always lock your car and take the keys with you. Remove your stereo face plate (if equipped) and any valuables and take them with you. Park in well lighted areas. If you must leave valuables in the vehicle, lock them out of sight
- Always lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack using a U-Lock and cable. Remove any easily removable parts (lights, quick release seats, etc.)
- Know the locations of the emergency phones on campus
- Report any suspicious people or activity IMMEDIATELY to Campus Public Safety
This will allow the police to locate the owner easily to return the property to the owner should they recover it. You should engrave bicycles, computer equipment,stereos,graphing calculators, and anything else with a high dollar value.
Personal Safety Around The Campus
Inside The Residence Halls
- Always lock you room door even if you are going down the hall or to the restroom. Never leave your room unlocked even for a friend.
- Always carry your keys with you and never loan them to anyone
- Do not prop open exterior doors. The doors are locked for your safety and propping the doors open could allow intruders into the building.
- Be aware who is coming in the door behind you to prevent unauthorized people from coming in
- Report suspicious persons or activity to a Resident Assistant, Resident Director, or Campus Public Safety immediately
After Hours Access To Buildings
To access academic buildings and labs after regular hours, you will need your current Boxer ID card with you. Many areas are designated as limited access areas by professors, so you will have to be on an access roster to get in. To access an area after hours, please do the following:
- Go to the building you want access to and check to see if it is open
- If the building is locked, use the nearest telephone and call Campus Public Safety at x2230
- When the CPS officer answers, tell them your name, what building and room number you need access to, that you have your Boxer ID Card, and have checked the door and it is locked
The CPS officer will need all of this information.

The Zephyrs scored twice in the eighth to defeat the Storm Chasers 6-5 Friday night in New Orleans.

In the seventh inning, Willy Taveras walked and Paulo Orlando singled him to second. Both men advanced on Irving Falu's ground out to first. Christian Colon then singled them in to give Omaha a short-lived 5-4 lead.
Dan Jennings (3-2) picked up the win.

SPAC Fri Aug 19
Just wanted to say that I've been a diehard fan since I first saw them back in 2001 and have seen them 6 times. Last nights show was the same old show that I've seen the past 4 times that they came through this area! Even the drum solos are too predictable now. And whoever is doing the sound.... maybe take a walk in the crowd and see how distorted the music was and most times couldn't understand what was being sung. Great musicians but they need to come up with something new. Don't think I'll be going to see them again anytime soon unless they come out with some new material. Heard that from a lot of people on their way out.... Sorry Guys
Replies to This Posting
Re: SPAC Fri Aug 19
What a great show!!!! Although, I thought the sound needed some love, as I was also in the pit. I think they were aware and tried to fix it. At some point the show must just go on. Seems as though they got the sound figured out the next night, can't be perfect all the time. And really regardless they still ROCKED!!!!
Getting the sound figured out the next night doesnt really help the people who were at this show!! The sound was unbearable.
Re: SPAC Fri Aug 19
Show has been the same for years, but Ill watch it anytime..
Re: SPAC Fri Aug 19
Their sound guy Frank is AMAZING (prob the best sound guy in the biz) and is more then seasoned & knows what he is doing. Sully likes everything to be perfect and doesn't settle for half assed.
Every time I have seen them... sounded spot on (CD quality). That's going on prob 40 sum times now. It could be quite possibly they way that specific place is rigged up. Usually the sound difference when other bands are playing to when GS takes the stage is a ridiculous difference for the better.
As far as their "speal"..... go see any band a bunch times and you can pretty much verbatim know what most front mans lines are to pump up the crowd. That's nothing out of the ordinary...

Even if Leroy Hill had not been suspended for the season opener, we hear he was a real long shot to be the starter on Week One at strong-side linebacker over David Hawthorne.
Seahawks LB Hill suspended for opener
Seahawks sixth-year OLB Leroy Hill will miss the team's Sept. 12 regular-season opener against the division-rival 49ers after the NFL announced that he would be serving a one-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse program.
Sherman won his appeal of a four-game suspension for use of performance enhancing substances on Thursday, making him eligible for the NFL playoffs.||||||| Sherman posted "I won," on his Twitter account Thursday morning, followed by teammates tweeting their congratulations. Sherman added, "Thank you (at)nfl for upholding the truth! To the 12s Thank you your faith is rewarded! Thank you lord."
Sherman was expected to practice Wednesday, but the Seahawks aren't going blindly into the regular-season finale against St. Louis with the firm belief they will have their star cornerback available.||||||| Seattle coach Pete Carroll said they would rotate a few guys in along with Sherman during practice in case it comes down later in the week that Sherman's suspension for using performance enhancing substances is upheld. Sherman appealed the suspension last Friday.
Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll says he is not concerned about Sherman's preparation for Sunday's game against San Francisco despite missing two days of practice.||||||| Carroll said after practice Friday that he expects Sherman to play against the 49ers. Sherman was reportedly absent, appealing his four-game suspension after testing positive for performance enhancing substances. Carroll says of Sherman, "I anticipate we'll have him. I know of nothing else."
Sherman is at the center of what could be a massive distraction for the Seattle Seahawks as they try to hold the last playoff spot in the NFC. Yet the talkative cornerback said Wednesday that this week is the same as always, despite news leaking out of failed drug tests by Sherman and fellow starting cornerback Brandon Browner.||||||| Sherman spoke for the first time since news first broke saying he and Browner failed tests for performance-enhancing drugs and face possible four-game suspensions. The Seahawks expect the pair to play this week at Chicago as they appeal.
Sherman says he has no regrets over the strong comments and messages from his Twitter account following the Seattle Seahawks' victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday. Sherman had an interception in the second half against the Patriots, and the Seahawks rallied for 14 points down in the final 7:31 to pull out the victory. According to STATS LLC, Sherman is tied for the NFL lead in passes defensed with 10.||||||| The Seahawks cornerback said Tuesday that he was directed to remove a picture from his Twitter account that showed Sherman talking to Patriots quarterback Tom Brady after Seattle's 24-23 win that included an added message"U Mad Bro?" But when asked if he regretted any of the attention that has come his way, Sherman said, "I don't regret anything about the situation. It is what it is."

The Sheriffs Office says the death of a 20-year-old Cambria man whose body was found Sunday afternoon appears to be the result of foul play.
Tyler Daniel Hanks was reported missing in a 911 cellphone call at 8:28 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 26, according to sheriffs Cmdr. Ron Hastie.
Hanks body was found about 4:45 p.m. under pine trees at the northern edge of Fiscalini Ranch Preserve, near vacant lots at the east end of Huntington Road. Thats about two blocks south and two blocks east of his home on the 400 block of Leighton Street in the Park Hill neighborhood. The search for evidence has turned into an active homicide investigation, Hastie said Monday. Forensics investigators combed the Hanks-Henslee residence and the vicinity Monday.
A person who knows the family said Hanks lived with his mother, his stepfather and an older half-brother.
That older brother, Brandon Noble Henslee, 22, was arrested Sunday on a parole violation and was still held Wednesday in County Jail without bail. The Sheriffs Office cited the ongoing investigation in declining to discuss the cause of death, whether Henslee is a suspect in his brothers death or Henslees criminal record. An autopsy of Hanks was scheduled for Wednesday to determine the cause of death.
Hastie did say investigators believe this is an isolated incident, not a random killing.
If the investigation and any subsequent trial determine Hanks was murdered, his death would be the first murder in Cambria since 1979. A previous review by the Sheriffs Office and The Cambrian, The Tribunes weekly newspaper, showed two murders took place north of Cambria on Highway 1 in 1983, one at Ragged Point in 1990 and one on Highway 46 southeast of Cambria in 1995. There was a murder-suicide in San Simeon in 2008 involving a 43-year-old Hermosa Beach woman who drowned her 8-year-old daughter and then herself.
He was such a good kid
Hanks had a short record of violations of the law and faced charges on two counts in September 2011, one for possession of a controlled substance and one for barbiturates possession. The first was dismissed through a drug diversion program; judgment on the second was deferred, with the possibility that it might also be dismissed.
Mary Armstrong said she knew Hanks for about eight years, going back to when he attended Santa Lucia Middle School in Cambria. He was such a good kid, she said.
She also spoke of his love for his dog, Ty, a 5-year-old pit bull.
News of the apparent homicide spread throughout the town. So sad. Just awful, said Sandi Pound, a teacher at Leffingwell High School.
He was a really kind person, she said, noting that Hanks attended the continuation school and graduated from the Grizzly Youth Academy, a National Guard-run program at Camp San Luis Obispo.
(Hanks) did very well there, Pound said. They liked him a lot. He was very kind. He was his familys rock, took care of the family always. He always greeted you with a smile and hug. (He was) a polite young man with a great sense of humor. Its just awful. Ive known him since he was a little boy. Hes always been the caretaker for his mom and brother.
When (Tyler) was here (at Leffingwell), he always encouraged other students to do well. He was the one youd catch doing good things. Last time I saw him, he was helping Friends of the Library (during a book sale), not for school, because he was out of school by then. Hed just volunteered to help out.
He encountered some troubles along the way but had been able to overcome them. But he always tried to make his and his familys life better. He made you feel better just to be around him. If you gave him a task, hed finish it, Pound concluded. His life just kept getting in his way.

The tax filing deadline is today, and if you're really pushing it, the will have extended hours to accommodate last-minute filings.
If you're still working on your return, here are some tips from the IRS:
- File electronically. Most taxpayers file electronically. If you haven't tried it, now is the time! The IRS has processed more than 1 billion individual tax returns safely and securely since the nationwide debut of electronic filing in 1990. In fact, 112 million people — 77 percent of all individual taxpayers — used IRS e-file last year.
- Double-check your figures. If you are filing a paper return, double-check that you have correctly figured the refund or balance due.
- Check the tax tables. If you e-file, the software will do this for you. If you are using Free File Fillable Forms or a paper return, double-check that you used the right figure from the tax table for your filing status.
- Sign your form. You must sign and date your return. Both spouses must sign a joint return, even if only one had income. Anyone paid to prepare a return must also sign it and enter their Preparer Tax Identification Number.
- Send your return to the right address. If you are mailing a return, find the correct mailing address at www.irs.gov. Click the Individuals tab and the "Where to File" link under IRS Resources on the left side.
- Pay electronically. Electronic payment options are convenient, safe and secure methods for paying taxes. You can authorize an electronic funds withdrawal, or use a credit or a debit card. For more information on electronic payment options, visit www.irs.gov.
- Follow instructions when mailing a payment. People sending a payment should make the check payable to the "United States Treasury" and should enclose it with, but not attach it to, the tax return or the Form 1040-V, Payment Voucher, if used. The check should include the Social Security number of the person listed first on the return, daytime phone number, the tax year and the type of form filed.
- File or request an extension to file on time. By the April 17 due date, you should either file a return or request an extension of time to file. Remember, the extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay.
- Check the identification numbers. Carefully check identification numbers — usually Social Security numbers — for each person listed. This includes you, your spouse, dependents and persons listed in relation to claims for the Child and Dependent Care Credit or Earned Income Tax Credit. Missing, incorrect or illegible Social Security numbers can delay or reduce what tax refund you may be eligible for.
- Visit IRS.gov. Forms, publications and helpful information on a variety of tax subjects are available at www.irs.gov.

Banana Nut Bread
The mouth-watering aroma of oven fresh banana bread. This delicious combination of walnuts, ripe banana, vanilla, and a touch of spice is sure to spark your appetite. Throws great in paraffin and soy.
- Was Skeptical
I ordered this as a free sample. Skeptical but was very pleasantly surprised. It is one of my favorites! Hot and cold throw is wonderful. I use 4630. Will become a permanent addition to my candle line. Doesn't smell artificial. I have since ordered a large bottle.
- love this
it smells amazing and I love this one very much
- Accurate Banana Bread For Sure!!
I picked this as a free sample out of curiosity and I really like it a lot. It smells exactly like delicious banana bread! cold throw is nice and the hot throw is strong and travels well. Great scent.
- Not my cup of tea
I was so looking forward to trying out this fragrance, especially since the Blueberry Cobbler smelled just like blueberry muffins. Unfortunately, I do not agree with the rest of the positive reviews here. I can smell the banana scent, but it is overpowered by a scent similar to burnt toast. Hoping a stronger banana sent will come along, like banana taffy or something like that.
- This is great!
i honestly wouldn't have gotten this for myself but a customer of mine wanted it so i thought i would give it a try. It smells just like banana nut bread! it has a great hot and cold throw. My whole upstairs smells like fresh baked bread. I like it way more than I thought I would and my customer loves it. She has ordered it more and more. I used GB 464 11/2 oz. in 1lb. of wax.
- I love this but..
I absolutely love this scent, but I'm not longer going to carry it because it isn't phthalate free. Candles science, please work with this fragrance to make it phthalate free!
- Banana Nut Bread
Love this, smells awesome! I use wax 6006 and scent throw is awesome:) very happy with this scent
- Hungryyyyyy!!!!
I LOVE this scent!!! It has a great hot and cold throw. When you first open the bottle it smell like banana candy but one you burn the candle it smells just like banana bread right out the oven. One of my favs so far.
- Delicious fragrance!
I love this fragrance but wish it were phthalate free. Hope to see that soon!
- Best Seller
All my customers fight for this one. Never sits on the shelf more than a day or so. Cold and Hot throw is wonderful using GB 464!!!!
- banana THEN bread
Cold throw I smell only bananas but when burning something wonderful happens and it smells just like banana nut bread. Only problem is my customers tend not to give it a try based on the cold throw
- Great scent!
I loved this scent. Great with the soy wax!
- Smells like the real thing
I use GB 464 1 oz per lb and it throws great cold and warm. Definitely on my favorite list.
- Excellent!
I love this scent! 1 oz. per lb. of ecosoya PB and the scent is fabulous. It filled the room with scent quickly and then I could smell it throughout the house. This is another keeper!!
- Banana Nut Bread
I really like this fragrance and so do my friends, will be taking this and others to a craft show soon! Ty CS!
- Wonderful Fragrance
I use golden brands 464 soy wax, and this scent was absolutely wonderful
- Smells Yummy
It smells really yummy, but I am going to agree that it smells more like bananas and not much of a bread scent mixed with it.
- Great
I can barely keep it on the shelves! Has great throw and lasts a long time! Whenever I make this candle my whole shop smells like fresh baked goodness!
- Wonderful
This was better than expected. Smells delicious and has a great cold and hot throw.

 Wax used: GB 464
- O.K. Scent...
I think we were expecting a smell other than just banana...It is a good banana smell, but there is no other scent ~Just Banana~
- Incredible Scent
I had ordered this scent and completely forgot about it until a week ago. I had another BNB that I swore by until now. You will want to eat the candle it smells so good!!! A HOUSE filler for sure!
- Another Great Scent from Candle Science
What a smell!!! Smells just like the real thing. My kids ask me when am I gonna cook things that smell that good. Definitely a keeper.
- Best Seller
This is the best banana nut bread I've tried. No fake banana smell, very realistic. This has been my best seller since I switched.
- Awesome!
This is absolutely the best BNB I have found. Strong cold and hot throw. Smells just like the real deal.

WEST?VIRGINIA—For decades parishes throughout the United States have observed "Respect Life Sunday" on the first Sunday of October. The prayers of the liturgy uphold the culture of life, the church's call to cherish human life from conception to natural death. This year many Protestant churches in our state will observe on the very same date "Illuminate Sunday," a time of special prayer for victims of abortion and those affected by abortion. In a beautiful way, on this Oct. 6 churches across the state will witness to West Virginians how central the gospel of life is to the Christian message.
The worship event of our Protestant sisters and brothers is part of the "Illuminate Campaign." Since charges were brought against a Charleston abortion clinic earlier this year regarding malpractice, the attorney general of West Virginia has investigated the need for regulation of the clinics in our state. The campaign supports the further regulation of clinics, especially in light of such disasters in other states such as the Gosnell case in Philadelphia. [Read more...]

Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors
Tucked among the shops and restaurants of the Rue de France, the two-star Hotel Solara is easy to miss. But beyond its modest exterior are 14 comfortable, convenient and inexpensive rooms.
The Solara's rooms are adequately sized and painted fresh white. Linens are quite thin, but luckily you don't often need a big duvet on the French Riviera. Rooms are equipped with television, air conditioning, mini-fridge, free Wi-Fi and soundproofed windows. The bathrooms are large and the shower doors boast dated, yet fun, designs.
Perhaps the hotel's best feature is its location on the Rue de France. The sea is close enough to smell and you're only a short walk from Old Town.
Breakfast is available for an additional charge.

As we are all preparing for a storm of epic proportions, it occurred to me that some suggestions on how to eat without electricity might be helpful.
Here are some foods that are easy and shelf-stable:
- Bread Crackers
- Peanut Butter
- Jelly Tuna, salmon or chicken in cans or packets
- Canned beans
- Canned vegetables
- Canned fruit, apple sauce
- Fresh fruits (melon should be refrigerated or quickly consumed after cutting)
- Nuts and seeds
- Dried fruit
- Cereal
- Juice boxes
If you have a gas stove top, despite not having use of the electric starter, you can use a match to light your stove. Pasta, rice, soups and sauces can easily be heated up. Stews and chilis can also be easily prepared. Even popcorn can be made with oil in a covered pot for snacking.
Wonder about your refrigerator and freezer? According to the USDA, a full freezer will keep food cold for 48 hours if opened minimally. A refrigerator will keep food cold for up to 4 hours. You may put ice into your refrigerator to help keep the temperature cold.
One tip that I just found, suggested filling old milk or juice containers with water, then freezing them and putting it in your refrigerator. The Texas A&M Extension offers great tips for handling food and drinks when losing power.
When it comes to milk, if you don't have the small shelf-stable boxes, another option is using evaporated milk. Instant coffee is the next best thing to a fresh brewed cup if you are desperate for the flavor.
Please feel free to share some your favorite electricity-free recipes and strategies with us!

When Wood emerged from his meeting with the accountants, we decided to meet again later that night at Atlantic Studios, where the mix sessions were in progress. They'd be there after midnight, he said. I figured that meant 1:30, but when I arrived at two Keith and Ronnie still weren't there. Dave Jordan, the young engineer who's worked with the group since Keith Harwood's death, was already at work, listening to playbacks of the "If You Can't Rock Me"/"Get Off of My Cloud" medley at maximum volume. Over and over again, fragment by fragment, the songs pounded through the walls. "It's 3 a.m., there's too much noise, don't you people ever want to go to bed?"
At three, Keith and Ron burst in with a small entourage: a bodyguard, a couple of waitresses from Trax, some unidentifiable others. Keith's wife, Anita Pallenberg, who'd gone to the Garden to see Led Zeppelin, came in a few moments later; she was hysterical about the concert, laughing madly as she described it. Keith and Ron said hello to one and all, had a word with Jordan in the control room, and headed for the studio.
The Rolling Stones Live, 1964-2007
There was equipment already set up – it belonged to Bruce Springsteen's band whose crew was not entirely ecstatic about having it tinkered with. Keith and Ron had guitars, of course, and Richard simply sat down on a small Fender amp, tapped his foot and picked out chords, a cigarette dangling from his mouth. Woody bounced about, crashed a few beats on the drums, played a bit of choppy reggae piano against Keith's choppy guitar lines. When Ron shifted to guitar, the serious jamming began. A few chords, some desultory conversation, some rearrangement, a little more playing. Not songs, but sketches, ideas for riffs that might become songs. They'd run through a song like "Don't Lie to Me," first in the Chuck Berry version (as in the outtake included on the Metamorphosis album), later with a bit of a Caribbean accent, finally attempting to figure out Clifton Chenier's Zydeco interpretation.
It could have been a galvanizing scene, and from instant to instant, it was. But more than anything it was numbing, at least as observed by a nonmusician. The jamming went on and on for hours. As I would discover it went like that night after night. It is one of the reasons the Rolling Stones take so long to make albums. For Richard and Wood, at least, playing together is sufficient unto itself. (Though Ronnie would later explain that part of what they were doing was testing ideas for songs for the group's next studio LP.) It would have been easy to call it a waste of time, but it depended on a state of mind: together, in a recording studio in the dead of night, playing guitars, Keith Richard and Ron Wood come as close as any humans to a state of pure being. Music isn't what they do. It's what they are.
Around 6:30, Jordan called into the studio. "I think I've got a mix." Richard and Wood straggled into the control room. Keith huddled over the board; with only one light in the room, he was a vision of the professional. Talking in undertones, moving this dial and that ever so slightly. Getting it right. Focusing on subtleties only he could hear. Once more, a playback. Then, back to the studio to jam some more. Things finally broke up at noon.
For the next few nights in the studio, not much changed. John Phillips showed up to talk with Keith about the album Jagger and Richard were producing with him. Stephen Stills showed up after a CSN date. It just added more to the jams. Still, the songs lacked that focused, direct drive one associates, before anything else, with the Stones' music. "I wish Charlie hadn't left," Keith said mournfully at one point.
Later, Woody explained: "Charlie never says anything. He just stands there with his arms folded, holding his cup of coffee. If you ask him what he thinks of something, he'll just say, 'I dunno.' But he listens. And When the time comes, he's right there. Having a drummer like that, who can play rock & roll and make it swing and so many other things – he plays reggae great, which not many non-Jamaicans can – that's all the difference."
Still, it wasn't musical excitement or its lack that seemed odd about the mix sessions. It was their interminableness, the way they dragged on without regard to the outside world. Spend the deep heart of the night in a studio a few times – enter around midnight, leave past midday – and you'll know why studios don't have windows. With Richard and Wood, it was stranger than usual because neither of them paid much attention to Jordan in the control room.
All of that changed when Mick Jagger arrived. He did his share of preliminary fooling around, but within a few minutes of his arrival, he was in the control room. Things began to move along. Mixing is an arduous process, so he wasn't exactly whipping through the songs, but he got through four or five, adjusting this level and tinkering with that element. At last, progress was perceptible.

For years, off-balance sheet transactions and lackadaisical investment strategies have allowed banks worldwide to operate with an extremely limited amount of liquid capital on reserve and the new Basel regulations have been taking key steps to remedy all of that.
The desired results would fix years of carefree investing within the investment banking sector and would create some stability and regularity but could the effects also be negative? According to telegraph.co.uk, that is exactly what Ernst & Young Item Club's Peter Spencer thinks. For Spencer, fully implementing the Basel capital requirements could ultimately prove to be "disastrous" for London's money markets.
It is important to point out that banks themselves are at risk. In doing their best to comply with these new requirements, lending will decrease as well as the money they lend to one another. With a global credit crunch in full swing, Spencer really just does not see this ending well for anybody.
"If these funding routes are not reopened it will have massive consequences for the economy as a whole," he said. "It will make 1929 look like a walk in the park."
When just last week, central banks worldwide announced that they were going to be injecting funds into their money markets in an effort to increase the kind of collateral they'd get in return, Spencer simply dismissed the action as "window dressing".
"This won't get to the core of the problem: the fundamental lack of collateral. As these problems drag on, the consequences for the macro-economy of not relaxing [the Basel regulations] are unthinkable."
Not only will lending amongst banks be stifled, consumer lending will take a large hit as well if banks become increasingly consumed with maintaining the proper capital minimums on hand.
The comments from Spencer come just as Bank of England markets expert Paul Tucker noted that the aforementioned Basel regulations were one of the primary ways he fought off the pending credit crunch. Spencer noted that although the newest batch of Basel guidelines will make the situation somewhat better, the issue at large will still remain a big problem within the banking sector.
"The Bank is staring into the abyss," he said. "The Financial Services Authority must go round and check that all banks are solvent, and then it should cut the Basel capital requirement level from 8pc to about 6pc.
"Until then, with the money markets frozen, the Bank will have to go on being the lender of first resort, rather than of last resort."

Hey Guys,
So I currently have:
2x Polk Monitor 70's
2x Polk Monitor 30's
1x Polk CS20
1x HSU STF2
I'm looking for an amp powerful enough to push all of these speakers and right around the $700 range. Features I require are multi-zone (at least 2 zones), 3D ready, Ethernet, 7.1 channels. Features I'd like are THX certified, DLNA, automatic calibration, LFE, and at least 6 HDMI in.
The receivers I'm considering are:
Pioneer Elite VSX-52
Harmon Kardon AVR 3650
Onkyo TX-NR609/709/809
I'm leaning more towards the Pioneer and second choice would be the Onkyo 809 but was looking for thoughts or opinions form anyone who may own any of these devices or the speakers, or who can comment on the quality between the companies, etc.
Thanks In Advance!

is a longtime automotive leader. He serves on the boards of TRW, Amerigon, Durakon Industries, NextEnergy, and FIRST. He also is chairman of the University Cultural Center Association; chairman emeritus of the French American Chamber of Commerce, Michigan Chapter; and member of the United States National Academy of Engineering. Castaing has chaired the New Detroit Science Center Board of Trustees since 1998. Under his leadership, a $29.2 million capital campaign for the expansion and renovation of the center was launched, a drive that now stands at $28 million. Named a fellow of SAE, formerly the Society of Automotive Engineers, Castaing was an executive with American Motors, Renault, and DaimlerChrysler. He moved to Detroit in 1980 to help lead the union between American Motors and Renault. When Chrysler acquired American Motors in 1987, he joined Chrysler, where he pioneered an innovative way to design automobiles by organizing design, engineering, manufacturing, finance, purchasing, and marketing in "platform teams." In 1993, Castaing founded USCAR with General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co., and helped form the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles with the U.S. government. In 1994, Castaing became the head of Chrysler Powertrain Operations and in 1996 served as executive vice president for Chrysler International Operations. He was technical advisor to the chairman from 1997 to 2000, when he retired from Chrysler.
"South of France, in Marseille."
"It would be hard to say one or two. The individuals who inspire me are people who do something with their lives, like build a bridge or start the car industry in the early 1900s – all kinds of entrepreneurs. I admire people who, through their engineering skills, created something that most people take for granted, such as the highway system in the United States, clean drinking water, the telephone, electricity. Unsung engineers who created innovation. Some I've met and some I've read about. And early on, my mother and father who helped me and pushed me into a good education."
"I'm reading
Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years
by Dennis T. Avery and S. Fred Singer."
"I was born with the urge and gift of leading people to do things together. I believe that we are living a short life on this planet and we are here to do something good for it and for society, to make a difference. I'm very tenacious, I don't give up."
"I left the [auto] industry but I'm still interested in it. It's a complicated business that involves a lot of people directly and indirectly. It's in the midst of restructuring and so on, and I hope that re-energized leadership is about to emerge in the Big Three. I hope that the people who emerge to lead are car people and that they know what cars are all about."
"I admire all the gadgets technology has given us, from the telephone to computers, but I'm not as obsessed with that as some others. I'm obsessed with the automobile. Some people take it for granted. We'd be lost without them."
"I've been lucky to have been around the world to many places but my favorite is where I can be with my family and good friends. If I were on a beautiful island in the Pacific by myself, I would not really enjoy that."
"Driving vintage old cars. I have the time and energy to compete in vintage racing events now, and I love that."
"I like food from everywhere in the world. There're so many different things. I don't have one specific favorite; all of them from Nigeria to China to France and Germany."
"I'm an open person, so people would know what I'm able to do. I don't really keep to myself."
"I will let people decide what I've done right. I want to be remembered for the things I did do right, though."
At the annual awards reception in May 2015, one Leader & Innovator from the previous 12 months will be selected as the Leader & Innovator of the Year.

I live in Middleburg, and I am proud to say that I will be graduating from Midd-West High School this year. I've noticed that almost every time Midd-West has been in the paper, and on the front page, I may add, it's been about something negative. Yes, we've had two bomb threats in the past month and a half, but why is that front-page news? We are not the only school in Pennsylvania who has had bomb threats.
Have you seen this building? It's beautiful. The architecture, thought and planning put into this school is unbelievable. The schools around us look nothing like our building. We are also proud of our students who excel in sports and other areas. Zach Heeter, a senior, and Alex Lieberman, a junior, both traveled to Hershey, PA for the PIAA Wrestling Tournament.
In FFA news, many of our students have been awarded for their hard work. Josh Hibbs and Kyle Fawver, two seniors, were awarded their Keystone Degrees at the PA Farm Show this year. Kassidy Klingler, Tony Rice, Ryan Kerstetter, Austin Snook, Michael Zechman, and many others have also won awards this past school year. Our FFA Chapter is one of the best, and one of our alumni, Casey Shawver, is the Pennsylvania State FFA President. How awesome is that?
Not only do we have amazing students, but we also have incredible teachers. Mrs. Kathy Shellenberger, who teaches 8th grade science, used to work for NASA as a scientist! Mr. Dan Weber, one of our biology teachers, was the mayor of Middleburg at one point! With all of these accomplishments, we have every right to be proud, and we wish you would better represent our district.
Hannah Jordan, Middleburg

Lucy wasn't just any cat. He was a guy with a girl's name. It takes a certain self-confidence to carry that off, and Lucy did, making himself at home in any number of spots in downtown Salem.
The Maine coon cat would wander from owner David Pelletier's home on Crombie Street through the downtown, often stopping off at The Barking Cat on Essex Street for a nap or a little attention. He was a celebrity, and he knew it.
But the outpouring of affection for Lucy during his life and after his death at 12 last weekend is another example of how a downtown can be as much a neighborhood as a commercial district, where people can be friends and businesspeople at the same time.
He was a special part of a special downtown, and he will be missed.

2013 U.S. Senior Team Member
How He Qualified: Hornsby, 26, took the long way to Olympic qualification. He won the Men's K1 200m event at the 2011 Sprint National Championships in Gainesville, Ga. on Aug. 6. But it was teammate Ryan Dolan who qualified the Olympic boat quota slot for the U.S. at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico on October 28. Hornsby pulled even with Dolan in the Olympic selection process by winning the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Oklahoma City on April 20, forcing a race-off between the two at the first two 2012 World Cups. Hornsby clinched the spot for himself with a 14th place finish at the 2012 World Cup No. 2 in Duisburg, Germany on May 27.
Recent Results:
Career Highlights:
Four Years Wiser: Hornsby, 26, attended the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games as a training partner for U.S. Olympian Rami Zur. Hornsby returns to the Olympic stage - this time as an Olympian - after outlasted teammates Zur and Ryan Dolan in the long 2012 selection process. Joining Hornsby in London will be his girlfriend Becky Holliday, who qualified for her first Olympics in pole vaulting. Hornsby is the first Olympian produced by the Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club, which has won 10 National Championships. Lake Lanier hosted the canoe/kayak and rowing events at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games.

USA Canoe/Kayak would like to congratulate the athletes who have met the selection criteria and will be representing Team USA this summer.
In the first season since the retirement of three-time Olympian Carrie Johnson, the battle for women's kayak supremacy was wide open. Among a host of Oklahoma City-based paddlers, Kaitlyn McElroy (Oklahoma City, Okla.) emerged as a potent threat in both kayak singles and doubles.
A day after finishing 14th in women's K-2 500m, Maggie Hogan and Kaitlyn McElroy placed 15th in the 200m distance.
Tim Hornsby finished 6th in the Men's K1 200m A Final Sunday with a time of 37.967, which was 1.324 seconds behind the first place finisher – 2012 Olympic Bronze medalist Mark De Jonge of Canada.
Maggie Hogan (San Diego, Calif.) and Kaitlyn McElroy (Oklahoma City, Okla.) won the Silver medal Saturday in the Women's K2 1000m, following up on their Bronze medal won last weekend in the same event. They crossed the line 3:39.969, +2.494 seconds behind the first place finishers from Australia.
Maggie Hogan (San Diego, Calif.) and Kaitlyn McElroy (Oklahoma City, Okla.) won the Bronze medal in the women's K2 1000m race. They finished in 3:54.966, 1.008 seconds behind the first place finisher. Two local Hungarian boats finished 1st and 2nd.
Congratulations to the athletes selected to represent Team USA!
The 2013 Team Trials marks the beginning of a new Olympic quadrennial, in which there will be some big shoes to fill. In senior women's kayak, Kaitlyn McElroy (Oklahoma City, Okla.) will get the first shot at replacing replace three-time Olympian Carrie Johnson (San Diego, Calif.), who retired after London to enter veterinary school. McElroy finished first in both the 200m and 500m finals before teaming up with her Oklahoma City Boathouse District training partner Maggie Hogan (San Diego, Calif.) to win the K2 500m distance.
The action didn't stop when the flame went out at the Closing Ceremony in London. U.S athletes will be competing at three different canoe/kayak events this week.
Tim Hornsby (Atlanta, Ga.) capped off his first Olympic Games with a 7th place finish in the K1 200m B Final Saturday at Eton Dorney. The finish was good for 15th overall when you factor in the eight participants in the A Final.
Tim Hornsby (Atlanta, Ga.) and Carrie Johnson (San Diego, Calif.) each placed 8th in their respective K1 200m Semifinal races Friday. Hornsby will advance to the Saturday's B Final.
The 2012 U.S. Olympic Canoe/Kayak Team will consist of seven athletes competing in seven events.
USA Canoe/Kayak announces Stein Jorgensen as the 2012 U.S. Olympic Sprint Team, pending final approval by U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun. The two-time U.S. Olympic kayaker will coach at his first Olympic Games in London. He coached the U.S. National Team during the 2008 and 2010 seasons and has served as 2012 Olympic nominee Carrie Johnson's personal coach on and off since 2007. In London, he will oversee sprint kayakers Johnson and Tim Hornsby.
Tim Hornsby earns lone spot in the men's Olympic sprint kayak competition.
"I'm still not really sure if it's real. It's been such a long process, not only with this process, but the process of going to the Olympics has been a dream forever. It's amazing that it's actually happening. I'm tripping out. I can't believe it."

Fan Confidence Poll: September 3rd, 2012By
Record Last Week: 2-4 (22 RS, 34 RA)
Season Record: 76-57 (637 RS, 550 RA, 76-57 pythag. record), 2.0 games up in AL East
Opponents This Week: @ Rays (three games, Mon. to Weds.), @. Orioles (four games, Thurs. to Sun.)
Top stories from last week:
- The last place Blue Jays came to town to open the week, and Rafael Soriano blew the save in Monday's extra-innings loss. Phil Hughes stepped up to give his team a win the next day, but the Yankees didn't do enough of anything on Wednesday and lost the rubber game.
- Following Thursday's off-day, the Yankees welcomed the Orioles tot he Bronx for the biggest series of the season (to date). Baltimore won Friday's game convincingly, prompting Joe Girardi to call a team meeting afterwards. The Bombers made a late comeback to even the series the next day, but lost again in the rubber game on Sunday.
- Injury News: Alex Rodriguez (hand) played in a pair of minor league rehab games and seems likely to rejoin the team today. Mark Teixeira (calf) suffered a Grade I strain and is going to miss at least 1-2 weeks. Andy Pettitte (leg) threw a pair of bullpen sessions and could soon begin an "accelerated" rehab program. Ivan Nova (shoulder) threw his first bullpen since being placed on the DL. Curtis Granderson (hamstring) is day-to-day with mild tendinitis. David Aardsma (elbow, hip) made his first rehab appearance since his late-June setback.
- In an effort to improve the offense against lefties, the Yankees re-acquired Steve Pearce from the Astros for cash. Brandon Laird was designated for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster and was claimed by the Astros. Casey McGehee was optioned all the way down to Low-A Charleston to make room on the 25-man roster.
- Among the first wave of September call-ups were Cory Wade, Adam Warren, Justin Thomas, Chris Dickerson, Eduardo Nunez, and Frankie Cervelli. Ramiro Pena was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man for Dickerson.

6. After voting 8 for the entire season, my confidence really dropped drastically this week. It is almost certainly an overreaction, but this really feels like a slow meltdown. And you can never know what happens next (see Boston).
I've been rating the same exact way. It may very well be an overreaction, especially to the injuries. Injuries or not though, there's playoffs at stake and we just can't get it done.
This is the first time all season I'm down to a 7 from my normal 8. The reason is relatively simple: while I'm still confident in the team overall once the injured players are back, the chances of us having to play in the wild card game are large enough that there's a much lower chance of us advancing in the playoffs.
I still think we're likely to win the division, and if that becomes clearer and the injured players come back in normal form then I'll be back to an 8.
Anyone who put a one is ridiculous. How can you have no confidence in a first place team? We have a 2 game lead plus help coming. Im at an 8
This is the rubric to the poll:
Given the team's current roster construction, farm system, management, etc., how confident are you in the Yankees' overall future?
This is your comment:
Anyone who put a one is ridiculous. How can you have no confidence in a first place team? We have a 2 game lead plus help coming. Im at an 8
Speaking for myself, a vote of 1 seems excessive. However, your objection to it depends on the 30 games left in the 2012 season, a pretty narrow criterion on which to base a vote (again, given the instruction).
6 – and falling fast.
Help coming…Who? A-roid? 40 yr old Petite? Come on and take the Yankee colored glasses off. This collection of stars has no heart, drive, pride, any of the intangibles a team needs to win. (except the Captain Derek Jeter) Age has caught up to these guys and the youth is over rated.
Certainly one way to view things. My adage for many years has been "There's a reason why they play the games." And, just like I was not buying World Series garb when the Yanks had a 10-game lead, I am not quite ready to throw in the towel when the lead has dropped to 2 after a spate of injuries. It will be an interesting September.
We're at 7 only because 3 of the injured starters should be coming back this week. If those players come back and we're 2 games behind this time next week then my confidence will drop to a 1. I think the return of Alex and Teixera can lift the team and they can go on a win streak. These next two series are the biggest of the year and we have to go at least 4-3.
Here's why we're not at a 9 or 10-
"I thought that was Hughsie's guy to get out, and he didn't do it," – Joe Girardi
I've been at 4 most of the year, owing to my interpretation of the poll's rubric as implying concern ALSO with long-term prospects for the team. I received so many sneers about those concerns (my metaphor was something like "Return of 1965") that I stopped bothering with justifications and just did hit-and-run voting.
Now I see that a 4 is not nearly the bottom of the barrel, although I suspect Return of 1965 is still not taken seriously, despite the references in a number of recent (past 48 hours) threads to the team's age.
I stick with the 1965 metaphor. The team is now looking really old. 1965 came all at once, but this time it has been sneaking up all season. Maybe there is more redemptive talent in the pipeline now than there was then, but I'll believe this when I see it, especially where pitching is concerned.
Include in the mix the Commissioner's never-ending efforts to "level the playing field" as well as Yankee-announced budgetary restrictions that are coming into play soon (189 and all that) and the signs for the future are not good.
But what if it all turns around this month? Won't I be embarrassed? Not at all. First, I'll be glad that it turned around, but, second, my pessimism is structural–team age, budgets, MLB, minor league talent–and a September 2012 turnaround matters little in that context. It merely delays the inevitable.
I have no problem with different people having different scales (though I wish Mike would give clearer meaning to the poll numbers so that the average number would be more meaningful), and I understand your long term concerns, but what does a 4 mean for you concretely for the long term? How many playoff/WS appearances over the next 3/5/10 years?
I can't answer your question. I have a sense of foreboding,that's all, based on the failure to develop new, young and successful pitchers (especially). Much was expected, a few years ago, of Joba and Hughes. Not much payoff on those expectations.
No Trouts have come up to NY from within the system, no Strasberg's, no hyper-talented stars. Who was the last? Cano? It's still unclear whether Montero might have been such.
If I'm roughly correct to be pessimistic here, this seems a failure arising from different causes: in the organization (management, talent scouts, coaches), and as a result of (deliberate) changes made by MLB in the correlation of forces, whereby the power position that a team like the Yankees once enjoyed may be disappearing.
I wonder if anyone has ever been able to answer a question like the one you put. I vaguely recall a Reader's Digest article (I think that was the mag.) from about 1964, by Bill Veeck, the madcap G.M. who flourished back then. The Yankees had lost a 7-game series to St. Louis, but no one among the Yankee faithful of the era seemed worried. Veeck noticed, though, that they had lost 3 WS's in that 5-year stretch and smelled a decline coming. How I laughed, in my early 20′s Yankee fan's arrogance, at such silliness in the dentist or doctor's office where I read that piece.
Boom! Next year it came true, all at once! The decline of the 80s / early 90s had nothing like the shock effect on fans of the 1965 collapse. The effect of the former had been cushioned by the latter, something still within easy memory of many fans.
But, WOW!, the effect of the 1965 decline was tremendous, coming as it did after 45 years of spectacular success.
Well, maybe ARod will lead a counter-offensive. Maybe CC will pull it together.
But I'm telling ya, if they don't get young-good soon, 1965 is just around the corner. Forward to the Past!
But no one in, say, 1981, could have offered anything but a wild guess about the future likelihood of playoff appearances, etc. To attempt exactitude of prediction where such a thing is not possible is not rational (it's in Aristotle).
I agree that the instruction to the poll is conflating too many things, but it might be too cumbersome to change it.
One point: you do realize Trout and Strasberg are/potentially are generational players. If they were easily found, every team would have Trouts and Strasbergs coming up through their systems. Unfair to criticize NY because they don't at this time.
One of the best commments I have ever read on this blog. Congratulations!
Why? Because it provides a self-needed confirmation for your usual pessimistic outlook?
The 1960 Yanks were a much better team than the Pirates, they lost the WS because Stengel mismanaged his pitching staff not because they were in some noticable decline. The 1963 WS was lost because of Koufax and Drysdale. The 1964 team lost the WS because 1) Ford was injured 2) Berra like Stengel in 1960 mismanaged his pitching staff.
NY got burned because MLB instituted the draft.
There's no amount of "But I remember 1965!" that can mask these comparisons being about as based on reality as any other naysayer argument, regardless of the age of the commenter.
I understand the parallel between aging superpowers with not a lot of immediate help coming through the system. It doesn't take genius to recognize that.
How the rest of this story is told remains. While it's not a completely different sport than it was in 1965 (where I was a nice, spry, -9 years old), it's a different enough sport.
Also, nothing that happened in a world in which "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" still did not exist matters.
To be honest this is more like 1964 than 1965, from one who remembers both quite well.
You are quite right. I would have loved to see the 65 Yanks 2 games in front at the beginning of Sept. 1965.
I don't think the 65 Yanks were two games in front even at the beginning of April of that year. They were pretty mediocre all year, but what we didn't know was how much worse it was going to get. 66 and 67 were nightmares. Fortunately they were my teen years, so I was able to turn my attention to Betty Lou, Donna Marie, etc…..
The 1965 Yanks were 47-41 in June, July and August and were actually 2 games above .500 in late August but because of a slow start and a horrible September faded away.
provide NY makes it to the WS. The average age of the 1965 team was 28 years old, the 2012 team 33 years of age.
The 1965 team suffered more from irreplacable parts due to injury, Maris, Mantle, Bouton than old age( Elston Howard).
I too remember those seasons quite well.
This is the most frustrating Yankee team I can recall in over 40 years of following the team. No doubt, expectations were high, still are.
All teams have injuries, but it seems, every corner is a new challenge with this bunch.
Right out of the gate Michale Pineda can't go and it's cut and paste with the starters.Rivera blows out his knee and the bullpen has been a question mark. Sabathia, Nova and Hughes have been all over the map in terms of performance. Pettitte was good while it lasted. Kuroda has been the most reliable starter and he's been rewarded with the team scoring <2 runs in 10 of his starts.
Every statistic foretells disaster, none is more telling than 0'fer when trailing after 8 innings…Zero last at bat comeback wins!
Old, tired, hurt, uninspired- hardly the stuff of champions. There's still time and they are, after all, still in 1st place in the East (HOW), and possibly not for long. The schedule doesn't favor mediocrity. They will get everyone but Gardner (immeasurably missed) back before the end of the season and may rally to get it done, but it sure has been a roller-coaster ride!
Arod went 0 for 7 with 4 K's against Single-A pitching and skipped yesterday's game because it started at 11:00 a.m. Unless he was meeting Cousin Yuri yesterday morning he should have been playing. That has me brimming with confidence for his performance today. Congrats to all the Chicken Littles out there who, notwithstanding the constant slurs hurled their way by the Helen Keller commentators, saw this collapse coming as clearly as we all saw Reynolds 3 run homer coming. A well-deserved 1 (yes, we can chant now, "We're No. 1!")
personally, I think we're playing more like number 2….
I'll never understand fans that derive a perverted joy from a team's poor performance just because it seemingly justifies their season-long pessimistic attitude. Only in that fan's world is a two game lead in September classified as a collapse.
everytime I watch the Yankees these days I've got that s-s-summertime, summertime sadness. Down to a 7 for the first time ever I think.
More one votes than tens. I voted one for the first time ever, mainly because of the management or lack thereof. Someone page Phil Jackson so he can help coach, inspire and get the most out of the players.
Only if he's switched to the Kevin Kline as Otto in A Fish Called Wanda form of Buddhism.
The ship has sprung some leaks to say the least.
I don't think they're gonna be able to hold off Tampa and that 1 game wild card BS is really gonna suck if they get eliminated.
Pretty sure that's the lowest I've ever voted.
Que sera sera.
Excellent article, especially with regard to your appraisal of Girardi's managing. The one question I have is, doesn't he see what's happening on the field, particularly regarding home-run Philip Hughes. After the first home run to Reynolds, Hughes gave up two singles, and ended the inning with runners on first and third. The very next inning he walks the first batter, followed by three singles, and Girardi still persisted to keep Hughes in for the three-run home run to Reynolds.What kind of fool manager is that?
A rounded-up 7, meaning more of a 6.5. Obviously, i'm not concerned about long-term because I have confidence in the organization to make shifts, even though we've talked ad nauseum on here as to where the limitations are.
As for between now and the end of the season? There's what I want to happen, what I think will happen, and what I'm afraid will happen, and the distance between the second and third of those is a lot closer than the difference between the first and second. I think injuries and ineffectiveness have left the team with a lineup that I really have to question whether it can hold a small lead, in the stretch run, against the teams directly behind it. A big part of me simply thinks they can't hold onto the lead with the personnel's they're sending out there. Alex returning doesn't change much for me. I'd rather have Tex and Granderson back (and, hell, Mariano.) I'm going to root and hope for otherwise, obviously, but guys need to get healthy, and the guys in their place need to play the month of their life here.
I think I'm at peace with just about any result right now, but getting to what that result may be? That's not going to be a whole lot of fun.
Down to a 5. Between the pitiful play they keep turning out, a weak to questionable farm system (including all the injuries and the normal uncertainty surrounding our lower level prospects), and the FO's insistence on the $189 million budget, it's hard to see a bright future.
Yeah, this is a pretty crappy team here. I actually think that the 2008 team was better than this current incarnation of it. Posada could actually hit in 2008, whereas Martin/Stewart can't hit their way out of a ballsack. 2008 Giambi > 2012 Teixeira, Cano this year is clearly better than Cano in 2008. Jeter was probably a better defender in 2008 but a much better hitter this year, I'll give the edge to 2012 Jeter. 2008 A-Rod to 2012 A-Rod? Oh my god, he was so much better in 2008 it wasn't even funny. On to the outfield? Abreu and Damon were pretty good, better at the dish than Granderson and Swisher is this year. Melky blew, but keep in mind that Gardner's out for the season too. The staff? I'd say 2008, if they were healthy. Wang, Moose, and Joba were awesome that year.
