Dominique Wilkins says he never prepared for '88 Slam Dunk Contest
By Ben Eagle
Twenty-five years ago, a young Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins went head-to-head in the greatest dunk contest of all time. The contest, held on Feb. 6, 1988, at Chicago Stadium, featured some of the most memorable dunks in the competition's history. But, according to a story in this week's issue of Sports Illustrated, those dunks required little-to-no preparation from Wilkins.
"I never prepared for a dunk contest," Wilkins told SI senior writer Lee Jenkins in an oral history of the '88 Slam Dunk Contest, which hits newsstands and the iPad on Wednesday. (Click here to subscribe to Sports Illustrated.) "The dunks just came. If I told you how I came up with the windmill, you wouldn't believe me."
The two-handed windmill Wilkins is referring to came in the last round of the contest. "I attacked the rim," he says. "It was powerful. It was ferocious. It was my best dunk." But it earned him only a 45, opening the door for Jordan to win the contest. The Bulls' guard went baseline to baseline, jumping from the free-throw line to earn a perfect 50 and his second straight slam dunk title.
"When you're in somebody's hometown, it's always tough," Wilkins said at the time of the controversial ending. "But he [Jordan] had a great dunk, you have to admit. If anybody's going to beat me, I'd rather have it be him."
To his credit, Jordan recognized the home-field advantage provided by Chicago Stadium.
"I felt if I wasn't in Chicago," he told reporters at the time, "it might have gone the other way."
Wilkins would return to the dunk contest in 1990 and defeat Kenny Smith for his second title. Jordan, on the other hand, retired from dunk contests after '88.

When Atheists Attack - Comments

Sarah Palin's ignorance is guaranteed because of how she has spent the past 44 years on earth.I care even more about the many things Palin thinks she knows but doesn't: like her conviction that the Biblical God consciously directs world events.
Reminds me of another illiterate who could repeat the words dictated to him without understanding them, he remembered every one of them and repeated them later to those who were able to write then down, his name was Mohamed. There's a wonderful absurdity imagining that Sarah Palin is receiving the words of god through her autocue.
Brilliant article by the way.

an over-the-brink, Rapture-ready extremist. Palin seems as though she might be the real McCoy
It has crossed my mind more than once, that now these extremist fundies may possibly have one of their own in the White House one day. What would it take for a lone nutter or a group deciding that McCain is too much of a soft touch and take him out, paving the way for their gal?

I absolutely love to read Sam's writing. I wish he would write another book already, so I could read it.
I share his fears, though I'm Canadian, and have my own election to worry a-boot. I fear we're both screwed. "The end of days", a self fulfilling prophecy...I hope not.

This is a superb article.
What a tragedy that such clear thinking and incisive writing is beyond the capacity of the religious right to appreciate.
You can hardly expect someone of Sarah Palin's poverty of grasp to realise she is utterly out of her depth - but the choice of VP was not hers; the blame rests squarely upon McCaine's shoulders for this iresponsible, selfish and cynical exploitation of the cream of American stupidity.

I hate coming to richarddawkins.net and reading political propraganda crap like this.
This is not about religion, it is not about politicas, it is not about facts, it is only about attacking a person and using rhetorics and twisting and bending every fact, half fact and lie to make a person look as bad as possible.
And it's speaking to the masses, who goes "amen" at every negative word and every strike.
Yes, she's religious, and yes that sucks. But for me that doesn't warrant every kind of political propaganda. And I think it has nothing to do on a site like this.

Sarah Palin is a Philip Cooney, Monica Goodling, George Deutsch, Julie MacDonald, and David Hager rolled into one.
Most Americans may not be familiar with all of these names. But ask them whether McCain has chosen yet another Brownie, and they'll know exactly what you're talking about. It's high time the public familiarizes itself with the nation's litany of Brownies, and how much McCain is doing to further this peculiar Bush legacy.

Palin supports teaching of creationism. She rejects the views of biologists.
Palin rejects anthropogenic global warming. She rejects the views of virtually all experts in climate science.
Someone with such contempt for any expert views that conflict with her warm fuzzy hockey-mom view of the world should not be allowed anywhere near the nuclear button.

atp, When Sarah Palin was campaigning for the Governor of Alaska, she said "Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of information. Healthy debate is so important and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both. And you know, I say this too as the daughter of a science teacher. Growing up with being so privileged and blessed to be given a lot of information on, on both sides of the subject -- creationism and evolution. It's been a healthy foundation for me. But don't be afraid of information and let kids debate both sides."

Can't Live Without It
I was stuck in traffic after dropping my husband off at the airport today and used the time standing still to sketch my pocket knife. My father gave me this knife somewhere around ten years ago (not sure exactly how many) and I carry it with me just about everywhere (except through airports, of course). Over the years this little friend ha helped me with all of manner of different things. Off the top of my head, some of these are: opening beer bottles, prying a very small copper gasket out of a conflat flange (how the tip got broken), cutting open and removing pits from avocados, pulling corks out of wine bottles, punching holes in potatoes for campfire cooking, cutting and stripping wires, removing and replacing screws, as well as opening all manner of boxes and packaging. There are plenty of days I don't need my pocket knife, but it's always nice to have it around when I do.

I've been adding text to layers for a few months with no problem. Now every time I use the text tool all I get is a 'dot' with a line that extends as I type. It does create a layer and the layer is named by whatever I typed but there isn't anything there. I've tried the 'find' and it didn't find anything. I've gotten the outline to show, but it's empty. I also found a similar question and the response was that the font size might be too small to see. I have a 25 inch background and set the font to 72 but still nothing. Since I haven't had this problem until now it seems like something is just set wrong -- but what?
Make sure the type is not the same color as the background.
Also, make sure the resolution of your image isn't ridiculously low.
Good advice already, but maybe posting a screenshot with the relevant Panels and the Options Bar visible might help?
Nice to see so many suggestions. I didn't know (or maybe forgot) about the reset function. Unfortunately none of these made any difference. I'd post a screen print but really don't know how. My screen prints just go to the printer. Anyway, I decided to just give in and start over VANILLA.
I made a new file. Size 8.5 x 11 Changed the font size to 30 and the style to Myriad Pro. Everything else is default. No layers added to the background. Then I select the Text tool. It shows Layer 1 and the little square that indicates the text will be horizontal. As I type, the cursor moves right and drags a line with it. If I click on the 'Layer 1' it changes to whatever it is I typed -- but there is nothing on the screen. Yesterday I could select the 'move' tool and see an empty layer but today nothing shows. The differences, aside from font size, were the size of the background and an additional layer. Oh, yes, and today all the tools were reset. I'm missing something, I know -- and probably some little thing. Any more ideas? I sure could use some
What resolution?
Is the foreground color black?
To post a screenshot: Make a screen save (if Win7 use Sniping tool in Accessory) then save to a location.
Then when posting click the camera icon and browse to you file location.
A 25 INCH background using 72 (px I'm assuming) font?
Your solution has already been suggested above (by several people). This HAS to do with your document dimensions.
Start a new document FILE/NEW
Just use the presets drop down menu - choose WEB, choose any size in the next drop down menu, your resolution probably reads "72" - I've adjusted mine to read "100" so I have the proper relative screen zoom (for my particular screen resolution). Click OK. Select TYPE tool, use 72 for the size. Now, if you are still having issues with not seeing the text, then a screen shot is definitely needed.
Forgive me for asking such a stupid question, but is there any chance your font is the same color as the background?
> Forgive me for asking such a stupid question, but is there any chance your font is the same color as the background?
Nobody ever reads response no. 2 [Old forum joke].
Thanks for all the great suggestions. I've tried them all except for the screen print -- and I'm copying that for future reference. Since I know this worked before and since I've been on vacation for a week I'm going to assume we had some heavy weather here during that time. I'm going to reinstall Photoshop and hope whatever 'slipped' is reset. I appreciate it all. Hopefully the next time I come back it will be to help.
A re-install rarely solves the problem.
I suggest you restet the preferenes to factory defalults. Start Photosop then IMMEDIATELY hold down Ctrl + Alt + shift keys. You should get a reset window.
It is a little tricky so if you get the splash screen you are too late in pressing the keys.
Don't re-install Photoshop until you have exhausted ALL other troubleshooting. You may just be wasting a good hour of install time.
Download this .psd and see if you can add text to it. There is a layer with paragraph text. Double-click the TEXT (T) icon on the layer panel and see if you can add/edit/replace the text.
A screen shot is SO easy and can maybe help. While in Photoshop, make sure your character panel is visible. Just click the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. Come back to reply, paste the image here by clicking "Ctrl + V". If that doesn't do it, try again. If that doesn't work, look online for alternate directions.
This has to be a simple problem.

Or response no. 9 apparently. The OP still hasn't confirmed that he is not typing with the same color as the layer below.
It can be very frustrating when one takes the time to try and help someone, then for that person (the OP) to not really wait and try ALL the suggestions from others. Another thing to make sure is you are NOT in Quick Mask mode. Look at your CHANNELS panel and make sure you ONLY have 4 layers. Some times the Quick Mask mode can "stick" between documents.
They only allow marking 4 replies as helpful. I marked the 4 most helpful to me. No, the font is not the same color as the background.
Soorry. I thought I did try all suggestions -- except the screen shot; I was, and am, too frustrated to keep at it. Just because a suggestion isn't marked as helpful doesn't mean it wasn't tried. Even suggestions that don't work are helpful in that they add to the 'no it's not that' list. BUT they only allowed me to mark 4 as 'helpful'. I marked the four I found MOST helpful. Maybe I should just skip marking next time?
Oh, yes, I checked and all I had was the background and 1 layer. The text would have made 2.
Wow. It worked. Time to celebrate. The funny thing is I didn't (knowingly) define my own presets. But then I also had a problem with permissions on my other computer this week -- SOLVED. And my air conditioner. . . Probably had some pretty wild weather here while I was gone.
Thanks again.
Thanks. Didn't get this far but trying to work on an existing .psd was worth a try.
So... what did you do that solved it?
It was the air conditioner that did it. They tend to get mischievous and chew on things when you leave them alone too long.
It was the air conditioner that did it.
I would have voted for the fact he went on vacation and the weather.
I used Curt Y's instructions on how to reset Photoshop to all factory defaults. And yeah, it's a lot faster than re-installing the whole thing.
Not only that, but reinstalling doesn't actually reset Photoshop to the factory defaults. If you'd gone through that you'd have found all your defaults intact.
Boy would I have been disappointed! I thought it was just like starting over fresh. So now I learned something else new. Thanks.
I would go ahead and learn how to make a screen shot. Those really do come in handy when asking for help.

792 Union St, Brooklyn, NY | Directions 1121540.674661 -73.976343
Neighborhoods: Park Slope
This place is absolutely fabulous. It's homey and unpretentious; the teachers, desk staff, regular practitioners and the owner are all sweet, lovely and helpful. The natural light in the studio is really awesome too.
great yoga in brooklyn – some of the best vinyasa in ny! the desk staff are helpful (which is always nice when you're visiting a new studio) and the teachers are extremely knowledgeable and very capable of teaching amazing classes. definitely a studio to check out!!
Excellent Center – The pilates classes at Devi (the spot across the street) are amazing. I have been studying at various spots throughout NYC over the last four years and this is by far one of my favorite places. Catey and Kathryn are both knowledgeable and supportive while being challenging. The studio is nice and open with lots of natural light. As an instructor now myself, I highly recommend the classes and studio!!!
not just yoga -- excellent pilates too! – I've never taken yoga here, but I'm a regular at their Pilates classes (across the street at Devi, their second space), and I love them. I've tried Pilates in studios all around Park Slope, but this is far and away my favorite. They have great teachers, challenging classes (not too easy, not too punishing, not too slow, not too fast), and a large, airy studio. (I used to love their modern dance classes too, but they haven't been offered for a while.) Oh, and I love that they're so close to Tea Lounge -- great for a snack before or after!
The Park Slope Yoga Center is an awesome place to go for yoga or pilates lessons. Wether you are experienced or just a beginner, the friendly teachers make you feel welcome and unintimidated. The overall environment is also very positive and peaceful there.
The best part about the Yoga Center is the open, spacious, studios with hanging plants and open windows. I have been taking lessons here for about two years and I always feel better and refreshed after a class!
best vinyasa yoga, plus Zumba classes too! – The teachers have integrity, the space is beautiful. I love the Zumba classes to mix it up. If you haven't found your "home" center, this is it!
Excellent Pilates & Yoga in beautiful space – The Park Slope Yoga Center has two spaces in the heart of Park Slope, conveniently located next to the Park Slope Food Coop. The classes are excellent (Sophie for beginning Hatha yoga, Kathryn and Catey and Sadie for pilates). The classes are inexpensive and the 20-class card allows great flexibility. The 2 large classrooms are clean and brightly lit with windows and skylights, decorated with Indian cloths, photographs and hanging plants. A serene and quiet environment where one is required to remove one's shoes in the entryway and where one is always greeted in a friendly manner at the front desk. The teachers I have used are friendly, caring and mindful of any injuries or difficulties one might have.
A Gem of a Studio – This is a great Yoga Center. My wife and I love practicing here. It's right next to the food Co-op. How perfect. The teachers are great, there is plenty of natural light. The place is laid back and doesn't make me feel self conscious, and the prices are reasonable. I love practicing here. I highly recommend it.
Great Yoga! – I love this yoga center. It's one of the original centers in Park Slope- started way before there were so many centers in the neighborhood. The room is sunny and welcoming and the desk people have always been really nice.
My favorite teacher is Robin who has been teaching there for a long time.
I have some old injuries but have always felt safe since as long as you let them know of any issues, the teachers are always helpful modifying poses that might be an issue.
Great teachers, welcoming atmosphere! – I come here when I visit friends in Brooklyn, and have always been highly satisfied with the experience. They have wonderful, knowledgeable instructors, and a welcoming atmosphere. A lovely sunlit and serene place to downward dog! :)

Second in series of Summer-Long "Animal Birthday Club", the Zoo Celebrates the Birthdays of Alice, Kate, and Ginny, the African Elephants
Providence, RI – Roger Williams Park Zoo is hosting birthday celebrations in honor of some of its most popular animals this summer. In addition, kids who join in the celebrations at the Zoo will have a chance at a "Zoofari Birthday Party" of their own, or even an up-close elephant encounter, through the Zoo's Animal Birthday Party Club. The second birthday celebration of the season will be held Saturday, June 22 in honor of the Zoo's three African elephants, Alice, Kate and Ginny.
Visitors to the elephants' birthday celebration can pick up an Animal Birthday Club card at the elephant exhibit. They will then receive a stamp on their Club card, which they can bring to the other Birthday Parties to get stamped. Those who collect three stamps will be entered to win a Zoofari birthday party of their own at the Zoo during the 2014 season. Those who collect stamps at all five of the animal birthday parties will also be entered to win a behind the scenes elephant encounter. (The first Animal Birthday Party was in May, so those who did not attend will not be eligible for this opportunity).
Animal birthday celebrations will be held on:
Saturday, June 22 for Alice, Kate, and Ginny, the elephants
Tuesday, July 09 for Gina, the camel
Thursday, July 25 for Persephone, the red river hog, and
Wednesday, August 8 for Jaffa and Amber, the Masai giraffes
Activities at all the celebrations will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. In addition to having their Animal Birthday Party Club card stamped, families can enjoy watching each birthday animal receive a special birthday enrichment treat. Kids can also take part in some fun party games, get creative with a party craft, and enjoy music and other entertainment.
For more information about the Animal Birthday Party Club and animal birthday celebrations, visit www.rwpzoo.org. Roger Williams Park Zoo is open year 'round, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Admission is $14.95 for adults and $9.95 for children (ages 3 – 12) and $12.95 for seniors (ages 62+); children under 3 and Zoo members get in free.
Roger Williams Park Zoo, one of the oldest in the nation, is Rhode Island's number one outdoor family and tourist attraction, and is also a
leader in conservation efforts undertaken by a zoo of its size. The Zoo has received numerous awards for environmental education, and
conservation work done locally and around the world, caring for species that without human intervention would face certain extinction.
Roger Williams Park Zoo is supported and managed by the Rhode Island Zoological Society and is owned by the City of Providence.

Dismantling the barriers of disability
More than one billion people around the world live with disabilities — approximately 15 per cent of humanity — but they are excluded from full participation in mainstream society by physical, social, economic and attitudinal barriers. Disability Days and other initiatives organised by the UK Jamat, show that these barriers can be overcome.

Doesn't seem to work with Safari.
it does work with safari, but not all images...
Ah ha!
Chip It is hands-down my favorite of the color matching apps. I think it's a blast and even got a little carried away with it in a blog post:
Thanks, Sherwin Williams!
I want a poster of the surfers too!! GREENy-aqua with envy :)
hahaha! just read your blog post, the nesting game, and the 'less colours' thing really got my goat too :0)
Does it work with Firefox?
I cant make this work AT ALL...
If it works with safari, how do you drag it to your toolbar.
I've tried and it won't go.

Best vanilla extract I've had
8 people found the following review helpful
Posted by LilleaRaychel From Canada on Jul 14, 2011
Purchased at iHerb
I've tried many different vanilla extracts, and have even made my own by steeping vanilla beans in Polish potato based vodka, but this one is the best! No weird things added to it, like most extracts today, even the supposed natural ones, and the taste is richer. I find that a little goes furthur, so it ends up being more economical too.
Pure Vanilla Extract

Posted by Reviewer2869993 From Norway on Dec 02, 2011
Purchased at iHerb
I like this vanilla extract and love that it's organic. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that I've tried the Singing Dog Vanilla Extract and I have to say that I prefer the Singing Dog over this one because it has a stronger vanilla flavor (need less of it), and I also like their fairtrade ethics. But this is definitely a good alternative if the other one is out of stock or something.
Excellent quality

This is the best vanilla I have ever used in my baking. It tastes great and I like that it is an organic product. If you like my review check out my page by clicking eathealthy in blue above to see reviews of all the products I have purchased from iHerb!
Has alchohol in it!

As this products advertizes being pure and organic, I wouldn't think it had alcohol in it - but unfortunately it does, so your cooking won't taste as good as when using the non-alcoholic one. Shame, because Simply organic is a great brand for spices and seeds!
The best vanilla.

Best 1 liners and satire on human life!
Watching this 1 again as an adult my first time made me see the satire here. Besides being hysterical, it's all about greed! Also, the 1-liners...like "I'm a hapy miser", "I'm socially secure", and of the course the classic "Left Turn at Albaqurque" is great.
Also funniest scenes are where Hassan can't remember the secret code, Open Sesame...and where Daffy thinks the genie is out to steal his treasure.
Of course, bugs has the best dance coming out of the little genie bottle...

Si Ginoong Poncian Samonte ay 25 na taong gulan noong kanyang inayos opisinang pangkalakalan, Ponciano Retailing Company. Tinanong niya si Danny, ang nakakabatang kapatid na lalake ng kanyang kaklase sa mataas na paaralan na siya ay samahan sa bagong itinatag na
Mr. Ponciano Samonte was 25 years old when he organized the business firm, Ponciano Retailing Company. He asked Danny, the younger brother of his high school classmate, to join him in his newly formed business.
As the years passed, the firm made good in the grocery retail business. Together, Ponciano and Danny established one branch after another. Within a span of 20 years, 19 branches were established throughout Central Luzon and Cagayan Valley.
The total number of employees reached 405 and everyone showed much respect to the leadership abilities of the two pioneers. Ponciano and Danny worked in a mutual trust with each other. Ponciano always consulted Danny on several important aspects of running the business. Danny was always busy training personnel on several aspects of managing a branch so there has never been a shortage of managers.
Because of his loyalty and ability, Danny was well taken care of by Ponciano. He receives an executive salary that was above industry standard, plus allowances and medical benefits. He is provided with an executive car. He is authorized to make decisions on operational matters. To assist him in his task, Danny trained two junior executives.
All went well until Ponciano died and full ownership and control passed to Ponciano's oldest son, Patrick. What did Patrick did was to slowly introduce measures to centralize decision-making. Previously, the store managers had the authority to determine the types of merchandise to carry, the quantity, and the timing of purchase. The recruitment and training of store personnel were functions exercised by the store managers. The above functions, as well as some other tasks, are now performed by top management through a staff in the central office. The changes introduced effectively reduced the authority and influence the store managers. Danny's authority was also greatly reduced.
Just a month after the decentralization order was implemented, Danny felt the demoralizing effect on the managers and employees assigned to the branches. Sales dropped by two percent and a number of key employees started to make moves to look for suitable jobs elsewhere. The rate of absences and tardiness also began to go up.
Danny was alarmed by the situation and he informed Patrick about the strong possibility of negative growth for the company. Patrick told Danny not to worry because he thinks it is easy to replace those who will leave.
Questions: Limit your answer to five sentences only.
1. What do you think of the reaction of the employees regarding the decentralization policy of Patrick?
2. Do you consider the decentralization policy as a big mistake. Why or why not?

Tea for Two, not really my thing
Funny thing about La Nuit De L'Homme is if you look at its reviews on Fragrantica, it is probably the highest rated fragrance with such an enormous amount of reviews (over 1500 people have rated it). So it's tremendously successful. Personally, I never cared for it, and I'm wondering if I should revisit it given all the great ratings.

I agree with YSL La Nuit De L'Homme. I bought a bottle based on the hype and hated it. It just smells so synthetic to me. Never buying a fragrance based on hype ever again.
+1 on The Dream. Nothing unique about it; opening is terrible, dry down is only decent.
Creed Millesime Imperial - I'm afraid I just really don't get it...at all
GIT. But then again, so is Cool Water.
By far and away Knize ten.
Puredistance M. Ok it is good. But not THAT good.

Diamondflame, you are absolutely right. I just happened to get a sniff at Puredistance M today, in NYC. It is good, but nothing that I would go out of my way to purchase and let alone, pay an enormous amount for. It is truly overrated big time.
one million. aqua di gio. bought these sorta before my "basenote days". but to the person that said pure malt, i just bought it haha. and i love the dreamer. another mans trash...
Pour Monsieur and Antaeus are both grossly overrated on here. They smell dated and just plain bad to me.

I can't really add anything that I think is overrated, because really, that'd just be me saying I don't like it. I don't like Egoiste, but that doesn't mean it's overrated. It just means I don't enjoy it.

To be honest, a lot of expensive niche fragrances. It's simple human psychology. People save up and splash a huge sum on an expensive bottle and then try to hype it as much as possible to garner more interest to justify the amount they spent (hoping also that more and more people want to get that fragrance but can't owing to availability and/or price).

I can completely agree.
I could live in that skanky amber cacoon that ambre sultan envelopes me in. I think serge lutens and sheldrake are amazing. Best perfume line that I have encountered in my short niche history. Like everyone else.....aventus, but I also don't think l artisan is all that. I've sampled nearly their whole line and haven't been interested in anything.....maybe patchouli patch. Everything duchefour make he puts cinnamon in or at least that's what it smells like to me. I just don't get the l'artisan hype.

What are the returns going to be for the Cubs' trades?
Posted 19 February 2013 - 08:16 PM
Matt Garza and Carlos Marmol to Angels for:
OF Kole Calhoun #5 prospect [ETA 2013]
Scouting Grades* (present/future): Hit: 4/5 | Power: 4/4 | Run: 4/4 | Arm: 6/6 | Field: 5/6 | Overall: 4/5
When you draft a senior out of a program like Arizona State, the hope is he'll move quickly. Calhoun spent his first full season in the California League, then double-jumped to Triple-A in 2012 and made his big league debut. His plus instincts make his tools play up. At the plate, he uses a compact swing to make consistent line-drive contact and fringe-average power. He's not afraid to work counts and take walks. He doesn't have great speed, but is a strong baserunner and while he may not have the quickness to play center field every day, he won't embarrass you there, either. He can play all three outfield spots capably, bringing his cannon for an arm wherever he goes. He has a future in the big leagues. It maybe as a valuable fourth outfielder, but teams will want to get his advanced bat into the lineup once he gets there.
3B Luis Jimenez #6 prospect [ETA 2013]
Scouting Grades* (present/future): Hit: 4/4 | Power: 4/5 | Run: 4/4 | Arm: 5/5 | Field: 4/4 | Overall: 4/5
Jimenez has hit his way up to the highest level of the Minors. The 2012 season was no different as he won the organizational batting title while finishing fifth in hits and third in RBIs during his first taste of Triple-A. He's a free swinger, generating bat speed with his big swing. He's a good fastball hitter with mostly pull power. He won't walk much, but he doesn't strike out much, either. He has good instincts on the bases as well. He's a fringy defender who can make the routine plays at third and has a solid arm. It's his bat, though, that will get him to the big leagues.
Alfonso Soriano and Shawn Camp to Phillies for:
LHP Adam Morgan #7 prospect [ETA 2014]
Scouting Grades* (present/future): FB: 6/6 | Curve: 5/5 | Slider: 5/6 | Changeup: 4/6 | Control: 5/6 | Overall: 5/6
Among the more advanced pitching prospects in the Phillies' system, Jonathan Pettibone might have the best feel for pitching, but this lefty from Alabama has a higher ceiling. The lefty topped the system in strikeouts in 2012 (he was third in all of the Minors), while he finished fourth in ERA and fifth in batting average against. He did it with three pitches that have the chance to be above-average. He's shown an ability to beat a team in a number of different ways, depending on what's working for him that outing, sometimes pitching off his fastball, sometimes getting hitters with his slider, others with his changeup. He projects to have above-average control of all of them, giving him the chance to be at least a No. 3 starter, if not more, in the big leagues.
RHP Justin De Fratus #14 prospect [ETA 2013]
Scouting Grades* (present/future): Fastball: 6/6 | Slider: 5/6 | Changeup: 4/5 | Control: 4/5 | Overall: 4/5
Initially a starter when he came out of the junior college ranks, De Fratus made a very smooth transition to life in the bullpen, reaching the big leagues in 2011. He would have likely spent a lot more time there in 2012 if it hadn't been for an elbow injury, though he did get past it and got some more Major League experience late in the year. De Fratus goes right after hitters aggressively and has three pitches he can use. His fastball is above-average and can touch plus at times and he loves using his above-average slider as an out pitch. He has feel for an average changeup as well, which could give him an extra weapon against left-handed hitters. With his injury in the rearview mirror, he's ready to contribute in Philly.
Nate Schierholtz to Red Sox for:
C Christian Vasquez #16 prospect [ETA 2015]
Scouting Grades* (present/future): Hit: 3/4 | Power: 3/4 | Run: 2/2 | Arm: 6/6 | Field: 5/6 | Overall: 3/5
Since coming out of the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy, Vazquez has established his bona fides as a strong defensive catcher. He's thrown out 35 percent of would-be basestealers thus far in his career, using a solid arm that plays up because of plus release and accuracy. While his glove will always be his calling card, he's not without offensive skills, He showed an ability to tap into raw power in 2011 and he does have the ability to drive the ball a little. He's been streaky with the bat and needs to find a level of consistency, staying with the solid, patient approach he's shown when he hasn't been struggling. If he can do that, the Red Sox believe he still has what it takes to be an everyday guy behind the plate.
David DeJesus and Carlos Villanueva to Giants for:
LHP Eric Surkamp #9 prospect [ETA 2014]
Scouting Grades* (present/future): FB: 4/5 | Curve: 4/5 | Slider: 3/4 | Changeup: 4/4 | Control: 4/5 | Overall: 4/5
Surkamp went from knocking on the door for a full-time spot in the Giants' rotation to being on the shelf for the next year when he underwent Tommy John surgery on July 24. The 25-year-old lefty led all Double-A pitchers in ERA in 2011, while finishing second in strikeouts and batting average against, and he had made strides in Spring Training in '12. Surkamp doesn't throw hard, but he has excellent command and two plus secondary pitches in his curve and changeup. When he was called upon to help out in the big leagues, he had some success and some understandable bumps along the way. He may not have the highest ceiling in the world, but it was pretty clear – before his injury, anyway -- that he has what it takes to be a big league starter.
Scott Feldman to Reds for:
RHP Dan Langfield #18 prospect [ETA 2015]
Scouting Grades* (present/future): Fastball: 6/7 | Curveball: 5/6 | Changeup: 3/5 | Control: 4/5 | Overall:4/5
Throughout his career at Memphis, Langfield displayed a ton of arm strength and he didn't disappoint during his pro debut. Langfield was up to 97 mph at instructs last fall. He complements the plus fastball with a hard breaking ball, which is kind of a tweener – part hard curve, part slider. He has the chance to have an average changeup in the future. He needs to refine his command and learn to become a more complete pitcher. He has the repertoire to start, but his power stuff could move quickly up the ladder if he moves into a bullpen role.
Darwin Barney, Scott Baker, Scott Hairston, Robert Whitenack, and Dillon Maples to Rays for:

A few of the acquisitions are "projects" that this front office likes, some are for organizational depth, and others are in place to be competitive. The Rangers are high on Olt and I think they are going to give him a chance in their lineup. So, I think with the injuries to the Angels' pitching staff, it becomes their biggest question mark and big trade like the one suggested should satisfy both teams' needs going forward.

David Price"

Posted 19 February 2013 - 10:46 PM
Dont think this package comes close to being enough for Price. No real need for Barney with Zobrist, Roberts and Kelly Johnson all being able to play 2b (and provide something with the bat), Baker will still be working his way back from TJ, and Hairston is nothing more than a platoon OF. The prospects also arent anything to get excited about from the Rays standpoint. If the Brewers could get Segura/Hellweg/Pena for a few months of Grienke, then the Rays can certainly get AT LEAST that much for Price
Exactly. A Price package is going to include two of Baez Soler and Almora, no ifs ands or buts about it, as well as a truckload of other prospects
Posted 20 February 2013 - 02:03 PM
Also, I forgot about Tony Zych and Ty'Relle Harris. Both of those guys have legitimate shots to crack the 25 man (especially if Dolis, McNutt, or Fujikawa can't cut it).
Posted 20 February 2013 - 02:17 PM
"Darwin Barney, Scott Baker, Scott Hairston, Robert Whitenack, and Dillon Maples to Rays for:
David Price"
She is probably my favorite right now...
Posted 20 February 2013 - 02:28 PM
Price will be a free agent in 2015. He's not going to fetch that much, because it will only be for one year (possiblly 1.5 if the Rays are surprisingly out of the wild card race) of control and on a near-record, high-priced arbitration salary.
Like I said, the Brewers got the Angels' #2, #4, and #10 prospects (according the Keith Law) or #2, #4, and #9 (according to BA) for a few months of Greinke. Anythin far less than that wont be enough for Price
Posted 20 February 2013 - 03:05 PM
So, Almora, Jackson, and Lake would be our equivalent 2,4,9. If we picked up Zobrist's $7.5M option and throw in Barney and McNutt into the package, I think you'd want Price to sign an extension.

So the Rays throw in their 3rd best player for Barney and Mcnutt? I dont think thats going to happen either.
Id be happy with Almora, Jackson and Lake for Price if he would sign an extension. Lake and Jackson have a lot of question marks and unless Jackson's swing overhaul actually helps it comes down to a potential above average CF, a 4th OF and a Util guy... Where do I sign? (again if he agrees to an extension)

A visit by a Royal Navy frigate to Peru has been cancelled by the hosts in a display of solidarity with Argentina over the Falklands.
HMS Montrose was due to visit the country later this week but the Peruvian government has withdrawn its welcome for the ship.
Foreign minister Rafael Roncagliolo told Peru-based news agency Andina:
"This decision has been taken in the spirit of Latin American solidarity commitments undertaken in the framework of Unasur (Union of South American Nations) with regard to the legitimate rights of Argentina in the sovereignty dispute over the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding waters."
The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said officials could have raised the issue with Foreign Office Minister Jeremy Browne when he visited the country last week.
A spokesman said: "HMS Montrose was scheduled to make a short visit to Peru as part of a routine deployment to the region.
"This was agreed as an act of friendship and cooperation between Peru and the UK.
"Ship visits are a sovereign decision for states, but we regret that Peru has revoked its previous agreement to this visit.
"This is despite the Peruvian government having had the opportunity on Friday to raise any concerns it had about this agreed co-operation."
As Britain and Argentina prepare to mark the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War, Buenos Aires again has its sights on claiming the territory it calls Las Malvinas for itself.
Argentina has accused the UK of "militarising" the dispute by reportedly sending a submarine carrying nuclear weapons to the South Atlantic, something that Britain has not confirmed.
They also objected to the Duke of Cambridge's posting to the Falklands as an RAF rescue helicopter pilot and the deployment to the region of one of the Royal Navy's most modern destroyers, HMS Dauntless.
Last week Argentina threatened to take legal action against British companies involved in oil exploration, a move dismissed by the FCO as "wholly counter-productive".
In turn Britain insists its movements of troops and warships are purely routine, and claims Argentina is trying to impose an "economic blockade" on the Falklands by restricting shipping to and from the islands.
Last month Argentinian president Cristina Kirchner de Fernandez said she was making a formal complaint about the UK's conduct to the United Nations, noting that she would have preferred to see Prince William "in civilian clothes and not in military uniform".
Prime Minister David Cameron responded by saying he believed the UN would back the islands' status as a self-governing British overseas territory and warning that Britain would "defend the Falkland Islands properly".
The FCO spokesman added: "The UK government remains fully committed to the Falkland islanders' right to self determination. This position will not change."

Fast cars and furious dataAugust 26, 2013: 9:24 AM ET
How NASCAR is using social listening technology to bolster its brand.
By Miles Raymer
FORTUNE -- Inside NASCAR's Charlotte, N.C., headquarters, on the eighth floor where its digital group is housed, is a 500-square-foot room packed with monitors that during races display not only the action on the track but the reactions from fans on social media networks. Other monitors show graphs offering real-time analysis of the deluge of tweets and Facebook posts that every one of its events inspires. The NASCAR Fan and Media Engagement Center represents one of the most sophisticated data mining operations in sports.
"Essentially what the Fan and Media Engagement Center is," says NASCAR Chief Marketing Officer Steve Phelps, "is a platform or a tool that allows us to take on what I'll broadly call big data." The Center was developed in conjunction with Hewlett-Packard (HPQ). "For us, our big data is fans -- through social media, things that are being blogged, traditional media, television -- and [the FMEC] takes all that massive amount of data and culls it down."
The ability to respond quickly in real time is crucial for an industry that's not only based on the premise of speed, but which boasts a massive audience -- around 75 million fans -- with a huge social media footprint. During this year's Daytona 500, HP executive vice-president of enterprise services Mike Nefkens estimates that they analyzed around 60,000 social media interactions per minute.
MORE: 3 reasons why New York tech is still lagging
The FMEC, the result of a collaboration between HP and NASCAR that began in June 2012 (the company became NASCAR's official technology partner in June 2013, and a new ad campaign touting the partnership features footage of racing interspersed with analysts working in the center), has been operational since January.
It has already yielded results, such as one incident involving an incorrect graphic on a race broadcast in which NASCAR wanted to immediately react. "We thought the fan reaction was going to be way over the top and was going to dominate what was happening on social media, when in fact it wasn't -- it was about 1% of the dialogue," says Phelps. "We informed [the broadcasters] what went on and the fan reaction, and let the folks at SPEED and FOX respond themselves. If we had overreacted we probably would have just had this thing cycle on itself even more."
FMEC also allows NASCAR to collect data that's not time-sensitive but reflects its fans' opinions in the wild, without the formality of surveys. The company launched a new digital platform encompassing the NASCAR.com site and a number of mobile apps around the time that it also launched FMEC, and has made at least nine major revisions to it since, based on data the center has collected. And when partner Chevrolet (GM) unveiled its 2014 Chevrolet SS production model at Daytona, NASCAR was able to give the company immediate feedback.
MORE: NASCAR chief's Executive Dream Team
With so much data being pumped into social networks around the clock, the biggest practical problem is separating the signal from the noise. "We've got a system that we've put together that goes out and monitors and analyzes this unstructured data," Nefkens says, "and is able to pick up patterns around keywords, around phrases, etc., to bring patterns together." Out of the tens of thousands of pieces of data FMEC may be analyzing per minute, Nefkens says, a keyword appearing in half a percent of them is enough for the filters to bring it to the top of the list.
Of course, public sentiment about data mining has been trending negatively since the NSA's domestic Internet monitoring programs have been made public. Phelps believes that won't have any bearing on the FMEC project, though. "Our fans are the most loyal fans in sports, and they love to be heard. If there are things they do that influence the product, that influence the way they engage with the sport, they want us to listen. I believe that the fans are very interested in having us understand the direction that they would like to see the sport go in."

World Wide Mind
The Coming Integration of Humanity, Machines, and the Internet
This question led Michael Chorost to explore profound new ideas triggered by lab research around the world, and the result is the book you now hold. Marvelous and momentous, World Wide Mind takes mind-to-mind communication out of the realm of science fiction and reveals how we are on the verge of a radical new understanding of human interaction.
Chorost himself has computers in his head that enable him to hear: two cochlear implants. Drawing on that experience, he proposes that our Paleolithic bodies and our Pentium chips could be physically merged, and he explores the technologies that could do it. He visits engineers building wearable computers that allow people to be online every waking moment, and scientists working on implanted chips that would let paralysis victims communicate. Entirely new neural interfaces are being developed that let computers read and alter neural activity in unprecedented detail.
But we all know how addictive the Internet is. Chorost explains the addiction: he details the biochemistry of what makes you hunger to touch your iPhone and check your email. He proposes how we could design a mind-to-mind technology that would let us reconnect with our bodies and enhance our relationships. With such technologies, we could achieve a collective consciousness—a World Wide Mind. And it would be humankind's next evolutionary step.
With daring and sensitivity, Chorost writes about how he learned how to enhance his own relationships by attending workshops teaching the power of touch. He learned how to bring technology and communication together to find true love, and his story shows how we can master technology to make ourselves more human rather than less.
World Wide Mind offers a new understanding of how we communicate, what we need to connect fully with one another, and how our addiction to email and texting can be countered with technologies that put us—literally—in each other's minds.

A Dead BlackBerry
[H]uman nature was originally one and we were a whole, and the desire and pursuit of the whole is called love.
—Plato, The Symposium
When my BlackBerry died I took it to a cell phone store in San Francisco's Mission district. I handed it over to the clerk the way I would give my cat Elvis to the vet. "JVM 523," I said mournfully. When I'd woken up the screen was blank but for that cryptic error message.
The clerk called tech support while I wandered around the store, peering at cell phone covers and batteries. He... see more
