Smell of Pot Doesn't Warrant Car Search, Mass. Supreme Court Rules
LEXMINMAN July 13, 2014 at 10:35 am
whats next if you smell alcohol no sobriety test
Laura Rodriguez July 16, 2014 at 05:46 pm
I agree with this, even with alcohol just because you can smell it you can't tell if a person has…Read More only had one drink or has had several. What if someone had a drink spilled on them at a party? The smell shouldn't be the only proof to justify a search. Under the 4th amendment of the Constitution, we are protected against unlawful search and seizure. With that being said, the police should have more viable proof that a person is under the influence in order to administer a sobriety test.

EVERYONE should suffer public humiliation and ridicule for every sin they have ever committed, rather than pointing out governmentally-created pariahs. Fuck yourselves, you ignorant slaves, while you maintain security that your sins aren't revealed.

PORTLAND -- A 21-year-old runner was hospitalized after a large tree branch fell on her and pinned her to the ground while she was running on a track in SW Portland.
Melany Crocker runs for the Linfield College track team. She was running at Duniway Track on SW Barbur Blvd. Wednesday night when it happened.
Her coach told KGW that Crocker was doing all right Thursday morning, but she was still in the hospital.
Witnesses heard a crackling sound and watched a huge part of the tree come crashing down.
"It just came down, just spontaneous," said witness Tirorcho Unaune. "There wasn't any wind or anything."
The tree, a large Sweet Gum, hit a few other people, but they weren't seriously hurt.
"We wish for a full and complete recovery of the injured woman," said Mike Abbaté, Portland Parks & Recreation Director.
The fallen section of the tree was removed Wednesday and a Portland Parks and Recreation representative said the rest of the tree would be removed Thursday.
PP&R officials asked the public to report any tree hazards they see, including downed or hanging limbs or trees, to the PP&R Urban Forestry office at 503-823-4489.

From 22oz bomber to Mikasa Weizen glass
The brew is dark brown in color as the pour forms a rich, fluffy, two-inch head that leaves lacing all over the glass. I love these Mikasa glasses because I can fit a full bomber in one pour.
The nose is rich, ripe fruit, especially bananas and raisins, accented by holiday spices, especially nutmeg and clove. Touches of alcohol warmth poke through.
The flavors follow but there's a lot more toffee and toasty malts than the nose. The bananas and cloves are there, but a distinct note of cracked pepper truncates any lingering sweetness. And it dries this palate. Yeah, interesting flavor profile. Alcohol is far more masked than expected, especially given the rich, penetrating complexion. Finishes short and balanced.
Honestly, this is one of the best examples of the style I've come across. Stays true to the expected dunkel flavors but spruces things up a bit - sweet aspects are accented by drying spice; the mouthfeel is rich and chewy. Nice job once again with the Lips of Faith series once again.

Pours a red-tinged dark brown, plenty of colour to it, with very nice beige head; fairly pale with nice density, sinks slowly but surely to a thin crown of bubbles with some wonderful lacing left behind. Looks pretty damn great.
Smells a bit completely insane. Massive weizen esters, but leaning heavily on the candy banana side, with huge banana sweetness. Also an equally odd side-note of smoke, with some bacon and charred wood, and maybe some peach in the mix as well. Totally didn't expect that, and I'm glad. Quite fascinating, I'm glad it blind-sided me but still, it's a bit too odd for me to love it.
Taste starts out banana cake-esque, there's plenty of that weizeny banana flavour but also a gooey sweet cake batter note with hints of butter and caramel. Not really a lot of dark notes which is a bit incongruous with the look and style, and it really just ends up fruity with more of that seed-heavy banana note. If I were a banana fan I might like it, but A) I'm not, and B) I'm also disappointed that there seems so little else to it, especially given the intrigue of the nose.
Not a bad feel, with a bit of body to it, slightly dry at the back and a bit heavy. Not bad.
Too much banana. What's great about good weizens is the balance between fruit and spice, and there's really a want of spice here. Decent brew, but a bit one-note.

THis is one great beer. A beefed up American take on a Dunkle. It works!!! Very impressive.
Poured into a Budweiser select pilsner glass. Looks murky and brown but when held to a light, it is all amber and ruby highlights. Nice size antique white head / good retention and some lacing.
Aroma is outstanding. Heavy duty hefe aromas, cloves and banana and yeast. Also some pepper and bready malts.
Taste is great as well. A dark hefe on steroids. The hefe elements are prominent. Good use of the banana/yeast/cloves combo that makes a hefe so inviting. In addition there is a hearty blend of bready malts and some pepper and alcohol presence reminiscent of a good Belgian beer.
Mouthfeel is a good bit less light than a traditional Dunkel. This is a 9% abv beer. Stronger feel and some alcohol presence above and beyond a normal Dunkel. Does it work? Hell yes!!! This is a great beer.
Overall very impressive. I would drink this one again.

Initial Decisions
In some ways, a carpet is only as good as the pad beneath it. A good, 20-year pad takes a ton of beating behind the scenes; it's the real reason you don't see the traffic pattern when walking down a busy hallway in the home. On the other hand, it doesn't make a lot of sense to put a premium pad under an inexpensive carpet that is only meant to last five years. So, when choosing padding, know your budget and the space it's going in. If it's a front living room, spending the extra money for a premium pad might make sense; in an extra bedroom, you can probably get away with a basic pad.
Lowest quality
Many carpet liquidation stores offer very low-end pad they try to sell as a basic pad. This is typically a 1/4-inch foam pad and is meant for a utility-room like setting. Stay away from this pad in high-traffic areas at all costs. The typical cost of this pad should not exceed $.50 a square foot.
Basic Pad
This is what local retailers offer as an introductory pad when giving an installation pricing quote. This is good pad, typically made of recycled polyurethane and about 5/16-inch thick. This is a great pad if you are purchasing a mid-range carpet and don't have long-term expectations. Check the manufacturer's warranty and read between the lines -- the warranty is typically rated for low-traffic areas. The price of a basic pad is $.60 to $.75 per square foot.
Premium pad
This is also a recycled polyurethane, but is typically 7/16-inch thick. Depending on the cost difference and your budget, this pad is worth the upgrade from the basic option. Expect to pay $.75 to $.90 per square foot for a pad that stands up better to high-traffic situations and, depending on the manufacturer, has a longer warranty. This pad will also hold up much better on stairs.
Super Premium
Wool is definitely the best choice for a carpet pad -- if you're buying wool carpet. Both will last 25-plus years in your home if you properly care for them. Wool padding is also naturally fire retardant, so chemicals aren't added. The downside is it costs about $1.15 to $1.30 per square foot.

And those who survive are at risk for neurologic injury. Historically, only about 20% of cardiac arrest survivors who remained comatose have awakened with a good neurologic outcome. Therapeutic hypothermia holds out the promise of improving these sobering statistics. This article reviews the physiologic changes that occur during and after cardiac arrest, focusing on how such changes cause neurologic deficits. It identifies the mechanisms, and adverse effects of therapeutic hypothermia and describes how to manage and prevent adverse effects.

PSU to make first payment of $60M fine
HARRISBURG – Penn State will make the first payment later this month on the
$60 million fine issued by the NCAA over its response to the sex abuse scandal involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
The university said Friday it will make the first of five annual payments Dec. 20.
The NCAA said the money will be held in a money market account while a task force figures out the guidelines for how grants will be distributed from an endowment established to combat child sex abuse and help victims.
Police: Boy, 7, shot to death at gun store
MERCER – A man's handgun went off while he was holding it as he got into his truck in the parking lot of a western Pennsylvania gun store Saturday and the shot killed his 7-year-old son, authorities said.
Joseph V. Loughrey, 44, was getting into the truck when the 9 mm handgun discharged, wounding Craig Allen Loughrey in the chest, according to state police. The boy died at the scene at Twigs Reloading Den in East Lackawannock Township, 60 miles north of Pittsburgh. Store owner Leonard Mohney said the boy was shot in the parking lot, but that he didn't see what happened.
Investigators said Loughrey told them he didn't realize there was a bullet still in the chamber.
Three in check plot sign plea agreements
CONCORD, N.H. – Three men from other states arrested at a New Hampshire outlet mall and charged with passing more than $370,000 in counterfeit payroll checks at Wal-Marts across the country have signed plea agreements with federal prosecutors.
Edgar Rose of Pittsburgh and Omar Patterson of Cleveland have both agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud. Quentin West of Pittsburgh agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
All three are scheduled to be sentenced next month. They were arrested last year in Tilton.
Wal-Mart security officials say in one of the plea agreements that 270 people had their identities misused on checks that the retail giant cashed.

I created this Toddler Bed Canopy for under $12 and 12 minutes with 5 easy steps.
(Printable Instructions at bottom.)
My little princess loves sleeping under it!
The beauty of this canopy is that you can leave it plain, like I did, or embellish it. And it can be made for boys. Think about using blue drapes and decorating with glow in the dark stars.
- One Hula Hoop, cost = $1.00 (mine had 22″ diameter)
- Two* 84″ Long Sheer Window Panels (38″ W), cost = $4.50 each,
(I used drapes over tulle because the edges are finished, cutting out a step for me!)
- One 48″ piece of ribbon, cost = very little, (I had a roll of pink tulle ribbon in for gift wrapping.)
- Hook to hang canopy, cost = $1.00
*Depending on the circumference of your hula hoop and the width of your panel, you could only need one.
Not pictured -
measuring tape
needle and thread
glue/packing tape**
**Your choice
1. Cut hoop to allow you to thread the drape onto the hoop.
2. Lay out drapes. Take the top rod pocket and fold the fabric down 12″. Make small stitches at both sides of drape (at bottom of rod pocket) and 2 places in between along the rod pocket.
3. Thread hoop through rod pocket, secure cut ends of the hoop with glue/tape to make a loop again.
4. Thread ribbon through the 12″ pocket you just created in step 2.
5. Tie loosely so top of canopy gathers. Sew back of panels together in a few places. Hang and enjoy!

Shotgun Balance Thread v3vims1990 Aug 1, 2012 1:38 PM
Hi All,
Given permission from Foxhound, I've started a Shotgun Balance Thread v3 but will be asking for co-operation from players who are for the buff of the shotguns & those who are against the buff.
Let's avoid flaming each other & please keep this thread as clean as possible.
So courtesy of Brick2UrFace's suggestions, this is how we, the community, feel the shotguns should be changed:
General Pump Shotgun Changes
- Pump shotguns to have 80% movement speed while ads. This is the same as SMGs in MW3. Pump Shotguns have had 80-100% ADS mobility for a long time in the COD series; it's a standard feature pump shotguns have had for a while and we just want that back.
- Pump action shotguns should also have a degree of spread tightening while ads. It was a good feature from Black Ops. In Black Ops, ADS with the Stakeout gave it a spread of 3 degrees which is tighter than its Steady Aim hipfire. ADS is a good way to make your shots as accurate as possible but right now if you are using steady aim on shotguns, your ADS spread will enlarge back to its default (without Steady Aim) size. We feel that trading some mobility for increased range effectiveness is a good feature for MW3 pump shotguns. The particular numbers are:
- 3.25-4 ADS spread on the SPAS-12 and KSG-12.
- 3.5-4 ADS spread on the 1887. Only the Model 1887 might need a slightly tighter ads spread than steady aim allows. Its got the damage at range but its spread is still too large with Steady Aim to take advantage of that extra range damage.
Specific Shotgun Changes
SPAS-12 - Increase close range damage to 36 per pellet, giving it 36-14 damage stock (50-19 with Damage Proficiency)
Almost everyone felt the long range damage on the pumps was fine and that the close range inconsistency was the most frustrating feature of pump shotguns. With 36 close range damage, you are no longer pigeon holed into Range, Damage, or even Steady Aim. This increases the versatility of the least versatile gun category in the game. We have had this damage before in MW3. The pre-1.08 SPAS-12 did 420 damage up close which we very rarely found to be unreliable up close. So we know that 400+ damage up close works for reliability. And we know it isn't overpowered because there wasn't a single "NERF THE SPAS!!1" thread in this forum. There were tons of "Buff the Spas at Range" threads in this forum though. So that goes to show the community was fine with 400+ close range and just wanted more damage at range for the spas and we think 36-14 does that quite nicely.
KSG-12 - Increase close range damage to 36 per pellet, giving it 36-15 damage stock (50-21 with Damage Proficiency)
After testing the current reliable one shot kill range of the pumps we have agreed that only the KSG will have an increase in reliable one shot kill range. The SPAS and 1887 will not be able to reliably kill from any further than they do right and the KSG will only have a .65 meter increase in reliable one shot kill range. We have had a 2/8 pellet kill up close on shotguns since COD2 up to MW2, then Black Ops got rid of it with its terrible shotguns that no one used. 2/8 returned again with the pre-1.08 patch SPAS with Damage and E. Mags "glitch" in MW3. The community has not complained about the 2/8 pellet kill on shotguns in the last 6 games that had them so we know they are fine with it. There is a basic principle with the other guns in MW3: the slower the rate of fire, the more damage each shot should do. The high rate of fire automatic ARs have lowest damage, then higher than them are the low rate of fire automatic ARs, then higher than them are the burst fire ARs, then higher than them is the MK14. With shotguns, the pumps shoot the slowest so they should do the most damage per shot at any range.
Model 1887 - Increase close range damage to 40 per pellet, giving it 40-20 damage stock (56-28 with Damage Proficiency)
The Model 1887 needs 40 damage up close because it has a very short max damage range (300 as inches opposed to 400 on the SPAS and KSG.) Making the 1887 do 40 damage per pellet up close allows its slow damage drop to catch up to the other shotguns and would give it a similar 2 pellet kill range with damage (still shorter than Spas and Ksg but only by 20 inches or so).
USAS-12 - Increase long range damage to 7 per pellet, giving it 25-7 damage stock (35-9 with Damage Proficiency)
The USAS-12 is weak in the last 1/5 of its range and can require up to 4-5 shots at that range even with Damage Proficiency. At 25-7, the Damage Proficiency would make it a reliable 3 shot kill at range. That means that it will still take 0.8 seconds to kill at max range. Any other gun in the game will kill in less than .18 seconds at that range so we feel this is balanced. And frankly adding 2 damage per pellet at range is not asking much.
AA-12 - Increase close range damage to 20 per pellet and increase long range damage to 10 per pellet, giving it 20-10 damage stock (28-14 with Damage Proficiency)
The AA-12 is the worst shotgun in MW3 after the 1.08 patch. Terrible range, terrible damage, and terrible ammo - Its only saving grace is the rate of fire compared to other shotguns. But considering the fact that it usually takes 3+ shots to kill and it only puts out 400 rpm, its time to kill is extremely bad. The AA-12 usually takes 2 up close and 5-7 shots at range with good accuracy. With a RoF of 400 rpm, that gives it a time to kill up close of .15 to seconds. That is fairly respectable. Only SMGs and one shot kills beat that. And there is still a tiny chance for a 1 shot kill with the AA-12 so it performs okay up close. But at range its time to kill is between 0.6 and 0.9 seconds. That is unacceptable. Every other gun in MW3 will kill in less than .18 seconds at that range. And the AA-12's range is so limited that it becomes extremely difficult to use. So the 20-10 makes the AA-12 a 2 shot kill up close with a slightly improved one shot kill chance. Still not a good chance but improved from where it is now anyway. But at range the 10 damage makes it a 4 shot kill making it far more reliable by only taking 0.45 seconds to kill at range. That still isn't good compared to other primaries but hey its an auto shotgun so whatever. This is weaker in every way than its MW2 version but we think it will be balanced in MW3.
Striker - No changes needed, but here's a picture anyways.
Links to the previous Shotgun Balance threads:
We should all respect all opinions made in regards to how you feel shotguns currently perform in MW3 so feel free to add your thoughts to how you would like to see shotguns addressed or why you don't agree with the buff.
Players GT/PSN ID's will be appreciated (not compulsory as it was in the previous threads) in whether you agree or disagree with this shotgun proposal.
Again, avoid flaming each other & keep the thread clean. We don't want a repeat of the previous two threads.

We applaud the Muskogee Rotary Club for their efforts to bring drinkable water to places throughout the world.
One Rotarian in particular, Darrell Ward, went to Nicaragua recently to to help dig 14 wells for villages in the western part of the country.
Ward spent nearly five weeks in Nicaragua through a Rotary International project.
Ward said the villagers were the "poorest of the poor."
"You see their homes are made of cardboard siding," Ward said. "Some were lucky to have a sheet iron roof."
Villagers walked two or three miles each day to the nearest water source, usually a polluted lake, river or pond, he said.
Ward, a real estate agent who lives near Webbers Falls, said he heard about the trip through a medical supply network, which works with Muskogee Rotary.
"I was a mechanic for 30 years, and I went as a support person to work on the rig if there were any problems," he said.
Ward's mechanical expertise coupled with the support of the local Rotary chapter shows how much can be achieved by a group of dedicated individuals.
Drinkable water may be taken for granted in the United States, but that is not the case around the world.
The local Rotary chapter has made this one of their missions.
It is an admirable endeavor.

Weatherford Democrat
— By CHRISTIN COYNE
Weatherford police are hoping to engage younger residents in efforts to battle crime with a new program that allows those with cell phones to text tips to police.
Launched locally this week, the Internet-based tip411 tool allows the public to anonymously exchange texts with a Weatherford police officer, according to Sgt. Matt Vinson.
Users can text information to police by sending the word wpdtips followed by the message to 847411, or tip411. Police officers can then respond to the person sending the text through the third-party system that keeps users anonymous.
"When someone feels afraid to come forward or simply feels like they don't want to get involved, this can be a great way to pass information on without fear of retribution," Police Chief Mike Manning said. "We're proud to be part of a national program that benefits over 1000 communities around the country. This new capability will help our citizens play an active role in keeping neighborhoods safer, it will engage a younger demographic in the process, and it will save our agency time and resources."
Powered by CitizenObserver, a St. Paul, Minn., company, the program creates a two-way anonymous "chat" and removes all identifying information before delivering the texts to police.
It's not intended for users reporting emergencies or a crime in progress because it may be a few minutes before the officer sees the text, according to Vinson.
Instead, the program is geared toward providing a forum for tips, such as notifying police of a neighbor believed to be selling drugs or to report suspected child abuse.
Hundreds of communities across the U.S. are currently using the program, including area cities such as Coppell, Plano and Farmers Branch, according to Vinson.

I used to bake all the cookies as a local bakery and found this to be a great recipe. I substituted butter for the shortening and baked them on a baking stone. I also throw in a handfull of chopped pecans. The Ghirardelli semi sweet chips have been the best to use so far. They also seem to have to bake about 12 minutes in my oven before they are "right" for me, the first batch about 2 minutes longer. I thought my oven was off temp wise but the oven thermometer I put in agreed with the oven on the temp. I have made them over 30 times for various parties and that is all everyone wants me to bring. For those who said they turned out thin, I am scratching my head in wonder since mine always turn out fairly thick. Maybe the baking stone is the difference there, or even the butter, or pecans. I would also chunk your baking soda and get a fresh box just in case. If none of that works, It could be how you are mixing them. Usally people over mix cookie doughs. One other possibility is the type of oatmeal you are using. I use the quick oats. The old fashioned require longer to absorb the moisture to cook which could cause some thinning to occur.

I substituted two sticks of butter for the shortening and I ran the oatmeal through the food processor before adding them to the cookie batter. I did use Guittard Extra Dark Chocolate Chips in this recipe. I really packed my small cookie scoop as I wanted a bigger sized cookie--they were done at eleven minutes. I let them sit on the hot cookie sheet for a minute before pulling them off and letting them cool on the countertop. These cookies turned out wonderfully. Very visually appealing cookie. My husband is not much for oatmeal or "extras" in his chocolate chip cookies but he told me that he thought these were VERY good--and that's saying something. No complaints here! I'll make these again.
Sarah Stone
This cookie is missing the mark BIG time! I think of a chocolate chip cookie, and I imagine somewhat of a mild buttery vanilla flavour...this is lacking in taste big time!

Fan Confidence Poll: February 4th, 2013By
2012 Record: 95-67 (804 RS, 668 RA, 96-66 pythag. record), won AL East, swept in ALCS
Top stories from last week:
- The biggest story of the week, by far, was Alex Rodriguez's inclusion in a report regarding a South Florida performance-enhancing drug peddler. MLB is performing an investigation and the Yankees will not comment until that is complete.
- Meanwhile, the Yankees added a new left-handed hitting DH, signing Travis Hafner to a one-year contract worth $2M plus incentives.

Actually, Heathcott didn't make MLB's Top 100 (though he should have). Mason Williams did make the list, though he didn't get an invite to ST because he's still rehabbing.
Baseline 7. *snore*
The re-signing of Kay nearly dropped me to a 2 from the baseline 7.
Fine, the Pronk signing and Pineda being able to mouth the word "baseball" moved me up to a 7.1.
I voted a 5, mainly because of injury. CC, Jeter, Gardner, A-Rod and Mo. Five key starters, have yet to prove they're 100% ready and healthy. If all the injuries mentioned prove to be moot points, then my five could easily jump up to a seven.
Hopefully Cano, Youk, Hughes, Joba and Hiroki all have huge walk years in hopes of nice paydays for next year or beyond.
Can Youk, Ichiro, Gardner, Grandy, Teix, Hafner and A-Rod prove last years dip in(or complete lack thereof) performance was just a blip or if their level of talent is just starting to erode?
Too many "if's" to feel all 2009 happy, but I'm not completely counting them out. Hopefully when the injury bug does hit, the AAA/AA guys are ready to step up and make the whole 2014 payroll issue a non-issue.
I'm a bit more optimistic than you, but all valid concerns. I'd just like to say that it's not entirely fair to have Gardner in the "prove that your talent level is not eroding" category. There's no reason to believe last year's injury will impact his talent level going forward.
I'm hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. Cashman knows what he's doing, despite the RAB rage for not signing every Tom, Dick and Harry. On Gardner, he had that monster defensively and base path driven 7 WAR in 2010, if he could muster half of that in 2013, I'd be happy. A 260/.345/.360 year with elite defense and a strong (hopefully) center-field would be very valuable. As a CF as opposed to a corner OF, I'd expect a dip in WAR anyway. My main concern, to your point, wouldn't be the erosion of his skill, moreso just proving his 2010/2011 was his true talent and really just staying healthy for a solid 550 PAs, which he's only done twice as he enters his age 29 season. Again, hoping for the best, preparing for 2012 GGBG.
Fair enough. I don't consider Gardner as much as of an injury problem, though. When you say "his age 29 season", it is a bit misleading since he broke in as a full time MLB player at a later age. I consider his injury of the freak nature, so I'm not real worried about it going forward.
Gardner's been hurt more than most people remember. He broke his thumb sliding in 2009 and missed about a month, although Melky had taken over. In 2010 he hurt his wrist in the second half. While he didn't miss time his numbers really tanked afterwards. 2012 he was supposed to have a minor elbow injury and wound up missing the whole season. So he's only been fully healthy for one season out of the last 4.
I don't think it's clear that his WAR will dip in CF (if he moves there). Moving to CF, his offense will be more in-line with other players at the position. Angel Pagan, for example, was at 4.8 fWAR with a .334 wOBA, average fielding, and a Gardner # in baserunning. Gardner has a career .326 wOBA, and might still be above average defensively in CF.
I also think you're misrepresenting his injury record. He's had 4 550+ PA seasons as a pro. Of the three that weren't, for one he was a bench player and for the other he had 441.
Instead of just talking about the best and worst, why not set some realistic expectations based on the likelihood of various outcomes?
What we call a "5″ is subjective, but hard to disagree with the reasoning here.
Baseline 6.
Like the Hafner signing but the Arod circus is likely to be in high gear this whole season.
Unless this turns into something similar to 2009. We can hope …
Sure they can still win but considering his diminishing production, I think the distraction he's gonna provide will far outweigh his production on the field especially since he's missing half the season.
I disagree, this team knows how to deal with all the media BS and Arod (with some semblance of health) is a top 5 3B in the game still. Problem is, getting him back by midseason(or at all) is looking less and less likely, imo.
"Arod (with some semblance of health) is a top 5 3B in the game still."
Disagree. I think that's a very fair assessment. The problem is that we don't know if he'll ever have "some semblance of health" again in his career.
Though he did miss 40 games last year, he ranked 21st among 3rd baseman in WAR. Now he's a year older and coming off another major hip surgery, not to mention who knows what effect not using PEDs will have on him (assuming he couldn't possibly be stupid enough to use them this year).
I think the days of him being a top 5 3rd basemen are likely gone unless you think this hip surgery will be the solution to his problems. Given the state of the position however, I could buy top 15, maybe even top 10 at the most optimistic.
Great, but he wasn't healthy last year. So… pretty irrelevant to the discussion.
He was a top 5 3B in 2010-11. I don't think assuming he regains that form is particularly optimistic. I would, in fact, say that assuming everything goes wrong is unrealistically pessimistic. http://www.fangraphs.com/leade.....;players=0
You are making huge assumptions, including that the surgery will be a bad rather than good thing for his health/production (he couldn't move the hip before, so it could very well be good… and the Dr who performed it seemed to indicate that it would be), and that the PEDs thing impacts him negatively. If I remember correctly, we shouldn't use allegation of use or assumptions that PEDs help when determining who makes the hall. Why the double standard here?
Correction: 2010 to 2012 he was the 9th ranked 3rd baseman in 2010, not top 5 according to fWAR.
Also health does have total relevance to his production unless there's a way he can contribute to the team from the DL.
Given the exorbitant amount of time he's spent on the DL the last 4 years, expecting him to be highly productive and healthy is completely unrealistic especially now that we've learned he's likely been taking PEDs this whole time.
If I remember correctly, we shouldn't use allegation of use or assumptions that PEDs help when determining who makes the hall. Why the double standard here?
I fully believe that PEDs do help performance and the evidence just keeps stacking up that he's been using so if you want to take the position that:
A. He maybe hasn't been using
B. Even if he was using, they don't improve performance
more power to you because I strongly disagree with both of those positions
You can also turn that narrative on its head and say that A-Rod will deflect all the media attention and let the other players go about their business and focus on baseball. I don't think the circus surrounding him this year is going to affect the win total one way or another.
Neither do I. I'm skeptical about the concept in general, but even if it does have some impact generally speaking, the Yankees are a veteran team that is assuredly used to the spotlight. The attention isn't a concern to me. All I care about is his health.
Agreed. Especially while he's not even playing.
Could just as easily be used as a rallying cry, "us against the world," as be a negative distraction.
I'm also not ready to conclude A-Rod's health and thereby production won't improve once he comes back based on some POS article from the Daily News citing an anonymous source whose logic was, to paraphrase, "why would he want to play a game where no one likes him?"
I'm up to a 7 from a 6 last week, ironically BECAUSE of A-Rod's PED issues. It's not that I think they'll get out of that albatross of a contract – they won't, but it's a nice thought – it's that all of the fuss makes me batten down my internal hatches and grab on to the guys we have a little tighter. I don't mind that we'll be "underdogs" this season – it hasn't been often that the Yankees can say that, and being an underdog is fun. Now, if my hometown Pittsburgh Pirates can fight for .500, it would be a doubly awesome season.
I have been at 6 for some time. The Hafner signing was good. I believe he can do some damage in the stadium. As far as the organization, farm system and 40 man roster, my gut tells me better than it looks. ST may bring some surprises both good and bad but as of now. I'm looking at better than mediocre. We are retooling with some aged but prime beef. It good be a pleasant and awesome season.
I can't believe Arod is a victim of some manufactured hoax. His makeup as an athlete to perform at a top level tends to lend credence to the whole story. The DEA and MLB digging for answers could be more than some appointed commission getting to the bottom of this story.
I am a 7 for this year based on a strong pitching staff to make one last run. Im a 2-3 for '14 and beyond based on the large contracts that will continue to eat a large % of 189m.
Down to a 5…REALLY starting to doubt Arod makes it back at all this season. That means the Youkuh is the RH bat of note in this lineup.
I wouldn't have said ARod was a bat of note last year, especially in same lineup as Jeter.
and look what happened to the lineup down the stretch/in the playoffs when Arod's presence disappeared.
What had changed recently that makes you doubt he'll make it back? Suspension? The Daily News article?
Tex is a RH "bat of note." Jeter crushes LHP, and some of their bench players and C should fair relatively well against LHP. Cano is not exactly shabby against LHP. Ichiro has a reverse split on his career. Gardner doesn't have a huge split.
Like the Hafner signing, but I wish they cut loose Z. Almonte instead of Canzler from 40 man.
I don't think Zolio was ever going to get a chance to play with Williams, Austin, Heathcott, etc., and I don't think he would've been especially productive either. Canzler would've been a good cheap piece to have in 2014.
As far as ARod goes, I hope we can take off at least $20 million of his contract. That extra $4 million per season could really be helpful somehow, as we've seen with Chavez, Ibanez, etc.
Yankees have given Zoilo extended run in ST before, and he's done will with it. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him on the bench at some point soon.
Calling Canzler good is sort of going out on a limb. I would say chances are he's a AAAA player.
I mimic your snore, Mr Tills…
and your baseline 7. Although the (albeit unlikely) potential of a healthy Pronk all season eating the short porch like a strawberry shortcake might bump me up to a 7.25…
I'm sure this will get a mention later today, but Keith Law ranked the Yankees' farm system 10th overall.
I'm still at a seven and have been since last year. The off season has been a bit disappointing, but the team should still be competitive this season and the farm system has some very promising prospects that I think we can all get excited about. If somehow through the season the team is really struggling then I'll probably drop down to a six, but until then I'm sticking on seven.
Still think that this is a top 3-6 org in MLB, so by my metric I can't see voting less than a 9. I went with 10.
I'm feeling a little better as I read more and more optistic reports on the farm system. I an NOT one of those fans who feel the team must win every year; But I do feel a world renowned franchise such as ours should be constantly trying to improve. If that means focusing on the farm system, so be it…
Incredibly fair assessment.
I was very much encouraged by the addition of another rookie club. It's not a huge expense, but it could pay dividends and it isn't something the League is likely to slap us for.
I'm excited to see what can be done with those picks.

Child killed by van
BALLSTON -- An 11-year-old boy died Monday after being run over by an unattended vehicle that rolled out of a driveway, authorities said.
Lane Rowe of Blue Barns Road was killed at approximately 3:15 p.m. by a 2008 Dodge Caravan that was occupied by three children -- ages 2, 4 and 12 -- and parked on an inclined driveway on the same road, state police said. The van began to roll backward and the 11-year-old got behind the vehicle in an attempt to stop it from rolling into the road, a preliminary investigation showed.

GLEN ARBOR — The Michigan Supreme Court is corrupted by "dark money," secrecy and ideology.
So contends former Supreme Court Chief Justice Elizabeth Weaver, a Republican from Glen Arbor, who's co-authored a book in which she alleges Michigan's highest court often rules on behalf of special interest groups that bankroll judges' election campaigns, as opposed to the merits of cases.
"In the $18.6 million spent last time for the Supreme Court, two-thirds or three-fourths was dark money," Weaver said, referencing judicial campaign contributions that can't be tracked to individuals or corporations.
"Reform the money," Weaver said. "Instant, complete, reporting of all money. No hiding behind groups of Justice for People or People for Justice. Every contribution has to be individual, and it cannot be People for Justice, which is a whole bunch of unknown people. It's dark money."
Weaver knows how the Supreme Court works — she served on it for nearly 16 years, including two years as chief justice. She penned the book, "Judicial Deceit: Tyranny and Unnecessary Secrecy at the Michigan Supreme Court," to be released May 15, with co-author David Schock because she believes the public needs to know the state's highest court is broken and that citizens need to demand immediate reform.
"I have a duty to a public that needs to know," Weaver said. "The book is filled with examples (of) the deceit, the abuse of power, about what they've done to employees (who) are in the way, judges who are in the way, or who have the nerve to stand up."
Weaver's tenure on the court from 1994 to 2010 was stormy at times. She repeatedly advocated for more transparency on the court and clashed with her colleagues. Her fellow justices rebuked Weaver for secretly recording a 2006 internal discussion in which she participated by telephone. She also released a transcript in which a fellow justice, Justice Robert Young Jr — now the court's chief judge — purportedly used a racial slur. Young is African American.
Several court officials, past and present, either did not return calls or declined comment. Young declined comment through a spokewoman, noting Weaver is the only justice ever to be censured by the Supreme Court. The censure was the result of her recording conversations of her colleagues and making a transcript public.

August 1, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Titans continue to add depth to their secondary by drafting Nebraska safety Daimion Stafford in the seventh round.
Stafford, the 248th overall pick in the draft, was the third defensive back selected by Tennessee. The Titans took Connecticut cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson in the third round and Nevada cornerback Khalid Wooten in the sixth.
Stafford transferred to Nebraska from Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. He had 96 tackles and four interceptions last year to earn first-team all-Big Ten honors from the media. He was a second-team all-Big Ten pick by the league's coaches.

Madison Elementary School is a one story, square, brick building encompassing 57,000 square feet. It is located on ten acres in a residential area in Blaine, Minnesota. Madison opened in the fall of 1967 with 950 students. Madison has traditionally been a "walking school", however, as boundaries expanded, more of the 500 students are bused to and from school. Madison was the first "million dollar elementary school" in Anoka-Hennepin Independent School District #11. The physical plan contains 24 regular sized classrooms, 3 kindergarten rooms, and 4 smaller instructional rooms.
