Jackson not the answer right nowBy
With Brett Gardner shelved until at least mid-August with a broken thumb, the Yankees will need another outfielder. They do have three players on the active roster — Cody Ransom, Eric Hinske, and Hideki Matsui — to spell their three starters, but each is questionable enough defensively to merit an alternative solution. Foremost among the concerns is that it would force Johnny Damon or Nick Swisher into center field to give Melky Cabrera a rest, an option the Yankees don't seem comfortable with, and rightly so. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be many alternatives to back up Melky in center.
Every mildly curious Yankees fan has pondered the option of promoting Austin Jackson from AAA Scranton to temporarily fill in. He's one of the Yankees most promising prospects, and he's one of the few players in the system who could play center field in the majors. It's understandable that fans would want to see him get a shot in the majors, especially considering his successful season so far: .311/.375/.429 with 17 steals in 19 attempts.
The rules also favor the Yankees. By adding Jackson to the 40-man roster the Yankees will start his service time clock, but that's of little concern at this point in the season. The more pressing concern is the use of a minor league option. There wouldn't seem to be room on the roster for Jackson once Gardner returns, so they would have to burn an option by returning him to Scranton. But Gardner's best case return time is 25 days, which would be August 19. Rosters expand on September 1, so if the Yankees optioned Jackson then he'd be in the minors for fewer than 20 days. Thus, the option would not be used.
(The Yankees did this with Brian Bruney in 2007, though they recalled him before rosters expanded. He went down on August 7 when Joba came up, and was recalled a bit later in the month. But because he wasn't in the minors for 20 days the Yankees did not burn an option.)
The problem with adding Jackson is that they'd have to play him nearly every day. Is that something they should be committed to at this point? There is a little over two months left in the season and the AL East is anything but decided. Committing to Jackson might mean putting a black hole in the nine spot regularly. Since they'll be playing against other American League teams, they need not hamper themselves with a pitcher's spot — and worse on days that Jose Molina plays.
Not playing Jackson would be a complete waste. He'd be better off getting regular at bats in Scranton, and the team wouldn't be that much better with him in reserve. They could always option him if the experiment failed, but then they would not only possibly trigger an option year, depending on when they pull the plug, but would also have to clear another 40-man spot to add a replacement outfielder. Those are considerably costs, and perhaps ones the Yankees should not be willing to risk.
There are legitimate concerns about Jackson's ability to handle major league pitching right now. Two major points of debate over Jackson are his strikeouts and his batting average on balls in play. Of the former, he has 89 strikeouts in 347 at bats this season. How will he handle major league pitchers if AAA pitchers set him down frequently via the swing and miss? Of the latter, his BABIP is .407, which he certainly will not be able to replicate at the big league level. That could cause a massive drop-off in all of his numbers.
Jackson has also struggled lately, as he's mired in a .167/.244/.194 slump over the past 14 days (not counting Sunday's 0 for 3 performance). The Yankees did promote Jackson back in 2007 while he was hitting just .260/.336/.374 in Charleston, and he responded by tearing the Florida State League to shreds in the second half, hitting .345/.398/.556 over the final 67 games. But the Yankees can't expect that to happen again. The expectations for immediate performance, given Jackson's recent struggles, his general strikeout tendencies, and his high BABIP, would have to be rather low.
Few doubt Austin Jackson's talent and potential to be a solid major leaguer in the future. He's handled each promotion since 2007 relatively well, and has continued to perform over the course of the 2009 season. The Yankees might be attracted by the prospect of adding him to their outfield, but there is enough working against the move that they shouldn't make it at this point. This could mean having to see Johnny Damon in center field once or twice over the next 30 or so days while Melky mans the position full-time. Those costs would seem to be less than those of promoting Austin Jackson and having the experiment fail.
What should the Yankees do, then? There are a few internal options, though few could play a passable center field. It looks like John Rodriguez, Shelley Duncan, Ramiro Pena, or a trade for a player who can man center. In any case, I wouldn't bet on it being Austin Jackson. As much as I'd love to see the kid in the Bronx, it doesn't seem like the right move for the Yankees right now.

They wouldn't absolutely need to burn an option.
Gardner's out at least two weeks, and we're only about 5 weeks from when the rosters expand. They could continue to carry Jackson for whatever margin of time between when Gardner is activated and the roster expansion fairly reasonable. It's not too much of a burden to carry one fewer pitcher.
Not that I necessarily disagree with you to hold off on his promotion, but it certainly seems intriguing.
"They wouldn't absolutely need to burn an option."
They explicitly addressed this point. The only way an option year would be triggered would be if he pulled a Melky 2005 and they sent him back down before August 10th. You're saying they could avoid that by just keeping him on the bench to rot. That sucks too.
There's just not a high enough probability of enough upside to make bringing him up intriguing.
I scanned over part of that, but I don't see what makes it less possible. If Gardner's best case scenario is August 19th, that leaves a maximum margin of 12 days where Gardner and Jackson are there at the same time before the rosters expand.
Is it that important for Ajax to spend those 12 days playing everyday in the minors?
And I don't see why his a tiny slump is that much cause for dismissal of this idea either.
I'm not convinced its the right thing to do either, but it sure would be fun, and it doesn't sound that dumb to me.
"Is it that important for Ajax to spend those 12 days playing everyday in the minors?"
You're missing the point.
Potential downsides of bringing Jackson up now:
- Sitting on the bench while Melky plays most days is a waste of development time
- Playing him every day over the (at least) replacement-level Cabrera could hurt the team
- He could be SO BAD that they'd want to send him back to the minors and burn an option year. (likelihood of this is mitigated by Gardner's potential return date)
Potential upsides:
- He _could_ be better than Melky for the next three weeks. The likelihood of this is mitigated by the fact that he's a rookie and that he is slumping right now.
- it'd be "fun"
I'd like to see him get some time, but it honestly doesn't matter very much. However, his 2 week slump shouldn't be a factor at all.
Why not? Calling him up during a slump decreases the likelihood of immediate returns, which is really the only reason to call him up.
The slump could just as easily end tomorrow. That's a bad way to make this kind of decision.
I'm not making this kind of decision based on the slump.
I am, however, refusing to ignore a slump because maybe it could end maybe.
The point is that the only reason to call him up is because we think he might be better than Melky and we want to play him every day. The fact that he is currently slumping makes it less likely that he will immediately contribute. At this point in the season, benching Melky to play Jackson every day carries a fair amount of risk. The fact that he's slumping right now makes it (admittedly slightly) more likely that he will NOT provide much useful offense. Frankly, the issues of adjusting to the big leagues are by far the biggest factor in making me think that he will not be an offensive plus in CF just yet.
But the slump doesn't help.
Talking about a slump that AJax is in is nonesense. How soon we forget. Cervelli was batting .190 at Trenton when he was called up. He was the preferred catcher for most of the starters even when Pasoda returned and he batted a very respectable .260 with several clutch hits during his stay.
He brought poise, energy and confidence to the clubhouse. AJax could do the same. Forget about this so called slump. Keep it real.
how about Justin Leone? that dude could seriously play every position besides catch.
No, he's the second coming of cody ransom, only worse
and you know this how?
um, cause he's a 32 year old minor leaguer that is currently hitting .179 and OPSing 562 (!) in AAA. I wonder how that'd translate to the AL East
oh that i didnt know. nvm then…
Of the four internal candidates – John Rodriguez, Shelley Duncan, Ramiro Pena, and Austin Jackson – Pena is the only one on the 40-man roster. All the others would have to be added to the 40-man roster, but that's not problematic since the team can simply transfer Nady to the 60-day DL to free up a roster spot. Likewise, they may have another spot on the roster should Wang officially be shelved for the year, at which point they can put him on the 60-day DL.
The biggest issue doesn't seem to be short-term roster flexibility, it's balancing the short-term, win-now goals of the team against the long-term risks, financial implications, and service-time rules as they apply to young players like Jackson and Rodriguez.
Since Rodriguez is on the DL and Duncan isn't a centerfielder, if they're going to call someone up, I'd expect it to be Pena.
Melky Cabrera since June 19th: .282/.361/.435; 14:9 walk-to-strikeout ratio.
Just wanted to reinforce the point that there is no way the Yankees would call up Austin Jackson to start in order to give him regular playing time, or even as a platoon option.
Oh, that line does not include Sunday afternoon's performane by Melky in which he went 1-for-2 and walked twice and did not record a strikeout.
You always have the best stats. It's kind of awesome. You're like Optimist Secundus
Dude, I'm still in awe of that *win-loss record by the Yankees and Red Sox.
* – For those of you unaware, I posted this piece of awesomeness on my Twitter:
In non-head-to-head games, the Yankees are 30 games over .500 (60-30); the Red Sox are 9 games over .500 (49-40). That is all.
I love that one, too. Actually, after tonight, isn't it 31 and 8?
Nah, those records are including today's action. Hopefully, what you just said was a little peak into the future of about 22 hours.
this may be the most worthless stat ever
i hope this is a joke
Really? I would've thought that taking a sampling of 90 and 89 games for the Yankees and Red Sox, respectively, would be a better measurement of the two teams' performance this season instead of eight games.
Yankees' run differential in said 90 games: 101
Red Sox' run differential in said 89 games: 54
I'm sorry, but the numbers don't lie: the Red Sox have been an above-average baseball team in the 2009 MLB season; not the elite, one-of-the-three-best teams in baseball like they appear to be when factoring in an eight-game sample.
*Yankees' run differential in said 90 games: +101
Red Sox' run differential in said 89 games: +54
Maybe he wouldn't be great, but a trade seems unnecessary, j-rod and shelley would be about as good or worse in center than swisher, and pena just started playing there. i see your reasoning in not wanting to promote ajax, but the other options aren't all that enticing.
"j-rod and shelley would be about as good or worse in center than swisher"
Slow down…this is completely false. Swisher has above average range in RF. These other guys don't. Not that Swisher is a good CFer. He's not. But these other guys would be worse.
huh? dude, i said "as good or worse", with as good being the absolute best possibility (i haven't seen them play center). They probably are worse than swisher in center. i am not suggesting that they would be adequate CFers, cause they wouldn't be.
I haven't either. Because no one in their right mind would play them out there, because they are not even average corner-OFers range-wise.
And I know that Swisher played CF in the big leagues for much of last year. Was he good at it? Not really. But he's better than they would be.
OK, fine. you're completely over analyzing my original statement, it was not a jab at swish's defense nor praise for shelley/jrods. I agree that swisher is better than shelley/j-rod in center. cool it.
Man, that escalated quickly, didn't it? It jumped up a notch!
I killed a man, with a trident!
The SWB website has J-Rod on the 7-day DL. The thought of Shelley in center scares me. Pena would be okay, if he had had more time to get used to the position (right now, the "Enrique Wilson-to-the-outfield" scenario scares me.)
Can Curtis play center?
And to echo Jamal above, it seems that all they need is backup for Melky for the next 3-4 weeks.
I'm pretty sure curtis can play center, and he's been kinda hot lately. Not sure if he's worth a spot on the 40 man, but i like the idea
Meh…forget this post. I just looked up Curtis' stats.
Call up Pena…use him in CF only in case of emergency.
Regardless of Pena's experience in center he is the best guy to come up since he would provide extra flexibility to the Yankees.
He has a SS arm and quite a bit of speed so I'm confident he could play a good CF if needed.
I say promote Pena because he gives the Yankees the most flexibility besides possibly playing CF he gives them a pinch-runner and of course another infielder.
I say I'd rather have Pena playing CF in AAA so that, if we need someone long-term, he's got more experience out there.
The problem we're looking at is what to do on the days a 24 year old needs off and if he goes down mid-game.
Swisher has played CF before, right? I know he didn't like it when he was with Chicago, but it would seem to me that in a pinch he could do it without causing the universe to fold in on itself.
Nonononono you keep Nick Swisher as far away from center field as possible! Like if center field was the sun, you put Swisher on Pluto.
you're overreacting. Should swisher play CF much? Nope. Would he kill us for the end of a game in which Melky went down and we made a move to bring up Pena or Jackson for the next day? Nope.
you're probably right. I got distracted and carried away.
I thought she was kidding with the extreme hyperbole. Maybe not.
I generally am. I just got way distracted.
Seriously? Like not for one or two days in the next month? He's had ~60 GS in CF each of the last two years.
Yeah I'm overreacting.
Whoa overreaction. He doesnt like playing it, but he doesnt totally suck at it. He played a lot of CF last year.
i agree, we've all seen swish butcher RF, i dont know how the heck he played CF that much last year *shudders*
Because you're allowing your memory of a couple of errors and misplays to override the factor that matters most in fielding:
His range in RF is better than average, less so in CF. But ok. And, yeah, he'll make some errors. But it's a couple of games.
Can't Swish be Melky's back-up? The Yanks all year have been blessed with two above average CF's (defensively). But Swisher is the best fielding CF they have other than AJax, who, I agree, should not come up. Call up Shelley or Rodriguez and if Melky needs a day off you put Swish in CF and the new guy in RF.
Trading for someone would be dumb.
It's not ideal, but it's only for what, 3 weeks?
I agree, though i'm not sure how good swish is in center. And hinske would be in RF on melky's day off, with new guy on the bench.
Well, depends on what the trade is. I wouldn't mind making a move to get a plus-defending CFer to stash at AAA.
Yeah, you're right. Trading for someone as such isn't stupid. I should have said it wasn't really feasible. A plus-fielding CF to stash afterward would be nice, but I can't think of anyone they'd target.
Can Jesus Montero play center??
If he could…
this isn't MVP Baseball 2005.
What about acquiring someone like Corey Paterson? He's currently in the Nationals AAA and could probably be extremely cheap. I know he doesn't hit but he can play about average CF and with out offense we can handle him in the 9th spot for acouple games.
eh, he sucks
todd linden would have been good for this job. why the hell did we sell him to japan?
He accepted it as it was the best career choice for him.
Also I don't see the harm in giving melky time off in the next three weeks and letting the kid get his feet wet. Even if its simply reward for a great start to the season.
You can just as easily option him down, if he remains in this slump.
Anyone can perform well in such a small sample size.
I don't see the problem as long as they tell him to go out their and catch the ball. I think this team cares alot more about defense and having damon playing CF should be a no go.
They should approach him and explain that they want him to just see how things are done on the major league level and they don't want to leave the club short of players who can play CF.
Hopefully it will be a change of pace that he gets amped up for and he performs.
How about making a trade with the Mariners for Endy Chavez. He is a lefty batting .273 with nine stolen bases. A no-risk high-reward trade. Would have to designate someone probably though.
problem is that Seattle isnt out of it…yet
Endy Chavez is out for the season.
So does that mean no to the trade idea?
Willie Taveras is an interesting choice as well although you might have to give a little more up for this guy.
"Normally I wear protection, but I figured.. when am I going to make it back to Haiti?"
Willy Taveras?
I like the idea of calling up Pena — he essentially replaces Gardner's speed as a pinch runner and potential centerfielder, though he'd likely play CF only if needed.
Which begs the question — if he can be emergency CF backup PLUS infield backup, why not send down Ransom, who's batting .200, for someone with a bit more pop?
Hopefully Gardner will be back quickly – he has been a great addition this year.
The possibility of bringing up AJAX could end up being a success. The memory of the big home run he hit against the Red Sox in Spring Training sticks with me… But I'm guessing we don't see him until September.
Pena's not slow but he not that fast either. Gardy is waaaaay faster.
I was going to say, I don't think they really are on quite the same tier.
Yeah, of course not. But it's about as close as it gets to having a good pinch runner on the team. Who else would even come close to replacing Gardner's speed, aside from maybe AJAX..?
That's kind of the plan. But Pena's only played like 10 games in CF.
I'm fairly sure Pena makes the most sense. and it spare us of the horror of Cody Ransom : Middle infielder . as well.
I think they should call up Pena + Shelley and send Cody packing.
Shelley Duncan's career triple slash:
Cody Ransom's career triple slash:
Not exactly an improvement.
I don't really get the fascination so many people have with Shelley. Yes, he rakes in AAA, but in the Majors, he has not been able to produce.
Just bring up Pena to play center. In fact, I'd bring up Pena and Shelley and DFA Ransom. If we're behind late, you can pinch-hit Shelley for Melky and then let Pena pinch-hit for him. I just love his power potential off the bench and yes I realize he can't hit a breaking ball but he seems to have learned to not swing at them in AAA
The need is someone who can replace a corner outfielder for DEFENSIVE purposes (you want Damon out there 9 innings a game everyday?) and maybe some pinch running. Swisher can be the backup to CF. If the player can play a decent CF then Melky can switch to a corner once in a while to rest Damon. A RH bat would be nice.
I'll let you guys decide who that player should be.
I don't agree with the notion that you need to play Jackson every day otherwise he's better off getting his regular at-bats in the minors. A 3 week stint in the majors is not going to seriously hurt his development, he'd basically would be a CF caddy/pinch runner and a spot starter to give Melky a blow and, in best case scenario, perhaps you catch lightning in a bottle and little drop-off in performance from what you were getting from Gardner. Worst case is he's a bit overwhelmed offensively(speed and defense will still be fine) so you use him more sparingly than intended but you give him a taste of being in a pennant race a la Jeter and Posada in the mid 90′s.
It is astonishing to me that anyone wants Duncan back. He simply cant hit a breaking ball, and he is an atrocious outfielder too.
neither can Cody. at least when Shelley runs into one he'll take it out.
There have been worse MLB bench players.
Let me ask you – when was the last time you've seen him play? Do you know, first hand, that he hasn't hit breaking balls this year?
They wouldn't have to play him every day. Plenty of young players started as platoon players. They could do that with him.
I agree Pena should be the guy brought up, not Jackson. He needs to be playing every day and keep getting at bats at Scranton, not coming up and sitting on the bench. Pena has been up and had some success already, and he is a gifted enough defensively to handle the outfield if he is put there.

What's wrong with playing Melky full time in CF? For 2 weeks, I'd bring up Shelley Duncan if he can play LF or RF.
Bringing up Jackson would be a huge mistake. It's way too early and he's in a major slump. No way.
They've been looking unsuccessfully for a true CF since Bernie. Good timing to get V. Wells and Halladay. I know his contract sucks, but if we can train or convert someone in the minors to CF, why can't we fix him. Seems the Yanks game attitude alone might cure his woes, unless he has an injury I haven't read about.
I would rather play Melky than Vernon Wells. He's already better, and still has room for improvement. Wells is done. That contract is ridiculous.
The Yankees DON'T have an unlimited wallet, despite what the media tells you. Wells would hamstring them for years.
He does have an injury you haven't heard about. It's his contract. He's got a severely sprained contract.
It's really bad. Nobody's ever come back from a contract sprain that bad. Dr. James Andrews couldn't even fix it. It's terminal. His contract is a terminal illness.
your grasping at straws and throwing in 120 millions to bet on it. that's a great idea.
In reality, the Jays need to trade 2 to 3 Doc Halladay for it to be realistically worth while to take Vernon Wells contract. that's just how bad it is .
In reality, the Jays need to trade 2 to 3 Doc Halladay for it to be realistically worth while to take Vernon Wells contract. that's just how bad it is .
Good point.
I won't take Vernon Wells's contract just to get Doc Halladay for free. If they want me to take Vernon Wells off their hands, I need Doc Halladay, Aaron Hill, Travis Snider, and Ricky Romero, and you're not getting a prospect back, JP… THAT'S how bad Wells's deal is.
Factoring in defense, Melky is a better CF than Vernon Wells right now. And paying Vernon Wells, Carlos Beltran-money is no fun either. And it'll still take a ton to get Halladay, a move we don't have to make.
Vernon Wells: -1.1 WAR
Melky Cabrera: +0.9 WAR
Melky is two full wins better than Wells, and he's not owed 107M over the next 5 seasons.
I really don't see the big problem with calling up A-Jax. Considering the Yankees need a defensive replacement in center field, and probably someone to replace Gardner's speed as a pinch runner/defensive replacement late in games, Jackson is a perfect fit. It's only about 4-5 weeks, so you give him a start once a week and then use him situationally as a defensive replacement late in games and/or serving as a pinch runner. Who knows? Maybe he'll kill the ball while he's up there too…
While I'd like to think that a promotion would give AJax a spark out of his slump, the chances just aren't good for that to happen. I would like to watch him play too, but the odds aren't that he'll take off if brought up.
Maybe there is something to be said for the time spent with the big league club though? The experience of the division race and playing with the talent around him might be what he needs to step it up? I don't expect it, but some people thrive on that.
I'm so conflicted!
I only see him when he plays against the Yanks. seems like he kills us. In a couple of months we drop Damon, Matsui and Nady. We could bring up Ajax or go after Holiday for LF or put Ajax in CF and Wells in LF. I assume Melky would go in the trade but Swisher and Gardner could intechange as RF and OF4.
Use the reply button, please. It makes the conversation much better.
Vernon Wells, before signing his contract extension (02-06):
18 WAR in 5 seasons (3.6 wins above replacement per season)
Vernon Wells since signing his 7yr/126M contract extension (07-09):
0.9 WAR in 3 seasons (0.3 wins above replacement per season)
Melky Cabrera, career (05-09):
2.7 WAR in 5 seasons (0.54 wins above replacement per season)
The Blue Jays are paying 18M per season for the production they could probably get from Shelley Duncan. He's just not the same player anymore (either that, or he's in the worst three-year slump ever.)
Problem is everyone compares the heads-up. They are not the primary motive here. Gaining Halladay leaps over Sox and Phillys in post season likelyhood. For 2 WSs. Post season income will make Wells' contract look like chump change. Also, if Halladay makes 2 post season trips, why would he sign anywhere else. As it stands we are now the team we should have been last year. CC and AJ are plugged in for Moose and Wang and call-ups are filling last years holes. In a couple of monthes we will need to fill in 2 SP, Wang and Andy, and a leadoff, Damon, a DH, Matsui, and an OF, Nady. Why not make some moves now that can help put this team over the top.
The Halladay issue is secondary. We can't add Vernon Wells's contract without first getting rid of someone else's contract, and then not adding any more contracts for the next 5 years.
This isn't trading for Nick Swisher and his 5M salary, this is Vernon Wells making 12.5M in 2010, 23M in 2011, 21M in 2012, 21M in 2013, 21M in 2014.
Adding Vernon Wells means we don't add J.J. Hardy, or Joe Mauer, or Felix Hernandez, or any of the rest of those guys when they hit the market. It means letting Hughes and Joba walk (provided they're still here) when they hit free agency because we're already maxed out with our 220M payroll.
You're mortgaging the future. Vernon Wells dramatically decreases our ability to field a competitive team. He negates the positive benefit we get from Halladay.
Wells is a horrible, horrible acquisition. It would be our worst trade acquisition EVER.
contrary to popular belive, the Yankees do not have an infinite budget, Signing Vernon Wells all but guarentees that.
A. we will be playing Melky or Shelley in LF for the next 5 year
B. we will be DHing Miranda / Vazquez / Duncan for the next 5 year
C. we will NOT extend Roy Halladay.
If he's not going to play everyday there is no chance they bring him up.
This may go down as the funniest thread of the season.
You have people actually saying the Yanks should acquire Willy Taveras, Corey patterson, and Endy Chavez. And they are serious.
I know, it's crazy. I'd rather have Melky backed up by a AAAA guy like J-Rod or Colin Curtis for a month than ANY of those guys on our team for a day.
(Well, I have no problem with Endy Chavez, but it's moot.)
Isn't Kenny Lofton still waiting for his phone to ring?

Snow and Fashion Week -- they go together like wool socks on a tropical beach. But that didn't stop style icon Victoria "Posh" Beckham from attending the Fashion for Relief Haiti show sponsored by American Express on Friday night. The former Spice Girl and wife of soccer star David Beckham spoke exclusively to Wonderwall about her passion for the charitable cause, her support for event organizer Naomi Campbell, and how she's fashion-fearless even in inclement weather.
WONDERWALL: Why did you want to attend this charity event?
Victoria "Posh" Beckham: You know, I just want to raise as much money as I can, lend my support. I want to do what I can to help. It's for an incredible cause. It's for the women and children of Haiti. I'm just excited to be here.
WW: How do you stay fashionable in the snow?
VB: (She strikes a model pose) This t-shirt is the official CFDA t shirt, all the proceeds go to Haiti. And these shoes? They're a really old pair of shoes to be honest -- they're just Louboutins.
WW: How did Naomi Campbell convince you to get involved today?
VB: What Naomi is doing is truly incredible. If I can support her in any way, you know I'll go out of my way for her. I have a lot of respect for (Naomi), she's a phenomenal woman. And David has also donated clothes, football tickets, football shirts and all sorts of things for the show in London. We just want to do as much as we can as a family. We were honored to be asked.

The makers of window films are asking for an exemption from federal standards so they can sell a darker film than usually is allowed.
In a Federal Register notice Thursday, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration asks for comments on the exemption sought by the International Window Film Association.
The current standard allows windows to be tinted as long as they do not restrict light to less than 70% of normal. This applies to windshields and windows to the right and left of the driver.
The Film group wants the standard to be set at 50%. It says trucking customers have had difficulty getting the 70% film, and that the darker tint will reduce eye strain and help keep the cab cool.
Comments are due by February 24.

with only 5 keepers Markakis is not a keeper.
Rizzo has big power potential and if he has finally figured things out he could be a top 10 first baseman in a year or two. Sandoval is a top 10 third baseman, but has had problems staying healthy (like Zimmerman). They're both a gamble. One has big power potential but has had little success in the majors except for this year and the other is a good hitter but fragile.
If you don't have to have your keepers in til next year, I'd wait and see where both of them are ranked. If Rizzo is ranked in the 130-150 range, you can probably let him go and sneak him back on your team later in the draft.

21 June 2009 - 03:16 AMOnce Again Steeel Reserve put on one hell of a game. For those that no-showed because of the weather, You blew it. it was sunny and gorgeous all day. The Decepticons, despite being shorthanded as far as Teams went, still pulled out all the stops. Nyxx retained her undefeated streak as Megatron.
To My Fellow Decepticons, it was an honor. For future Transformers games, Cartman, you can list me, And Lillith as Decepticon for life.
And Now. Off to Texas.

12 May 2009 - 05:54 PMYou know damn well I'll be there, though I think this time around I'm goin Decepticon.

Aye, that you may. But you'll be hard pressed to do so.
I've been doing reenactments as a 17th century privateer near two decades, it's how I got the Nom De Guerre in the first place. Our group (the Free Men Of the Sea) have worked for History Channel, Learning Channel and A&E doing educational entertainment. Chanties were as important aboard ship as knowing how to tie a knot and our crew can perform 4 hours without repetition.
As with any crew, there has to be a chantyman to lead the rythym whether long haul, short haul or capstan. Guess who?
But there are always new versions, in a lot of old songs the same lyrics will show up for different pulls.
I'd love to hear what you have.
Here's a historical tidbit for ya.
What most people know as the song "Dead Mans' Chest" is not the original.
What you hear today are the words to "Billy Bones' Fancy" published in 1883 by Robert Louis Stevenson as part of the original Treasure Island and left out of most later versions.
Trivia time~
What's the most widely known sea chanty of all time?
"Sit right back and you'll hear a tale.
A tale of a fateful trip...."
<add: Count me in for food! >
I know a few of the Free Men of the Sea. Been working with John McNiff for the better part of 14 years. I'm a Renaissance Faire performer by trade. Actor/singer/stage combatant/Jouster/armorsmith......
I think you and I are gonna get along great.

Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...
That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new - yeah yeah
I loved you with the fire red
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...
It's too late to apologize, it's too late

Official MySpace site:
One of the biggest internet success stories - ever!
Basshunter is a Swedish bedroom DJ/producer, a cyber geek who wrote a song about an experience with meeting a girl on the internet. The girl was called Anna, and the song 'Boten Ana'.
Basshunter sent it to his friends on the web, who forwarded to their friends, and so on until it ended up in the hands of a local radio DJ who played it out on air. After its first airing the station was inundated with phone calls to play it again and they added it to their playlist.
The track then went crazy, the whole of Sweden got caught up in the story about his love for a girl on the internet, and when it was released in Scandinavia it became the fastest selling debut single since Abba, and Basshunter their biggest selling debut artist ever!
Through word of mouse, the track spread and it became number 1 in Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg - the first ever Swedish language hit in these countries. Germany were next, the song went top 10, something only Cascada & Eric Prydz have managed from the dance world, the track then hung about in the top end of the charts for 6 months..
..Fast-forward to the summer of 2007 and an English vocal version 'Now you're Gone' has become the most requested record in summer holiday resorts around Europe, due to it being the lead track on a mix cd by DJ Alex. As people return from their holiday's in Magaluff and surrounding islands desperate to get their hands on a copy it's clear that the Basshunter phenomenon is about to hit the UK!

Working from a tight script by Ben Ripley, Jones creates scary, hairy, high-octane tension. Disbelief? Suspended, until the logic lapses kick in later. It's a small price to pay for a ride that starts at wild and accelerates from there.
Neil Burger's Limitless
Limitless is a potent provocation for the Age of Adderall. It's a wet dream for anyone who's ever dreamed of getting an edge on the information highway. The worst side effect is that you won't believe a word of the damn thing in the morning. Fair exchange.

Kendall Jane Boutique-Shorts+Promo Code!
It's that time of year to give your skin some fresh sunshine. And even though growing up, I never felt like shorts flattered my figure, modest fashion trends have turned my opinion around as an adult!
I'm always looking for flattering and trendy Bermuda shorts that fit my budget and style. When I came across these darling Bling Denim Shorts on Kendall Jane Boutique through Instagram, I fell in love right away!
Now that I've had a chance to try them out, I give them 2 thumbs up!
In fact, they've made themselves worthy of my 2014 July 4th outfit of choice!
What I love about them:
They are flattering around my caboose which is the place I struggle with the most. I've always been overly blessed in the rump department and finding something to make it appear smaller is usually priority #1. You can barely tell that I'm carrying a barge in the back of these shorts because they are so dang cute!
The stitching is placed just right in areas to slenderize your legs!
The length is fabulous. These shorts are not stitched rolled up, you can actually unroll them and make them longer if you have longer legs or want a "capri" look.
If you want to try out these darling shorts, hop over to Kendall Jane Boutique and make sure you take a browse around their shop...they have modest and trendy clothes for anyone's budget!
Wanna hear the BEST part? Mommy Makes Things readers get a discount for one week only starting today!!
10% OFF Promo Code: MOMMY10
So don't miss your chance! Hop over to Kendall Jane Boutique and get yours and be sure to follow them on Instagram to catch other great deals!
Thanks to the gals at Kendall Jane Boutique for the collaboration!

In a mere second, scientists have whisked an unprecedented 26 terabits of information-the equivalent of 700 DVDs or a dizzying 26,000 billion bits on a single laser beam across 50 km.
The world's biggest feat in data transfer by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) Germany, beats its own global record of sending 10 terabits (10,000 billion bits per second) in 2010.
KIT scientists, led by Prof. Leuthold, attribute their astounding success to a new data process the Institute has developed, called the opto-electric decoding method, reports the Nature Photonics journal.
The method is based purely on calculation at highest data rates in order to break it down into smaller bit rates, which can then be processed electrically. "A few years ago, data rates of 26 terabits per second were deemed utopian even for systems with many lasers. And there would not have been any applications. The challenge was to increase the process speed not only by a factor of 1,000, but by a factor of nearly a million for data processing at 26 terabits per second," explained Leuthold, who heads the Institute of Photonics and Quantum Electronics and the Institute of Microstructure Technology at KIT.
"Our result shows that physical limits are not yet exceeded even at extremely high data rates," he added after noting the constantly growing data volume on the internet.
"With 26 terabits per second, it would have been possible to transmit up to 400 million telephone calls at the same time. Nobody needed this at that time. Today, the situation is different," Leuthold said.

Lombard painter 16th century - inv. 1641
Lombard painter of 16th century
The Nativity
1520 c.
47,8 x 36,5 cm
1879 bequest Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli
Inv. 1641
Lombard Rooms
The Nativity has been set in a building enriched with classical columns, in the presence of oxen, a donkey and two winged putti; the shepherds can be seen through an opening in the back wall.
Critical debate has placed this work in the Lodi area, between Martino and Albertino Piazza, and so towards the hand of a modest painter after Caravaggio, Cristoforo Ferrari de' Giuchis, whose production shows similarities. The work also includes Leonardesque touches in the Virgin's drapery (deriving from the Virgin of the Rocks) and in the composition, widespread in Lombardy.

Does Babel-U-Exams(B-U-E) keep track of users results?
Yes, all completed exams can be accessed either through the exam page or via the users view. Administrators can also control how many results B-U-E should track.
Can I prevent the user from repeating the test after they've submitted it?
Yes, you can control how many times a student can take an exam. As well as how often they can take it with built in retake limits and delays that can be set for each exam.
Can I restrict access to only registered users?
Yes, B-U-E gives you the ability to restrict access to individual exams using the native Joomla ACL control.
Can I export student results into a spreadsheet?
Although B-U-E doesn't support direct export to xsl or other spreadsheet formats, you can export filtered results into CSV format. Since CSV can be easily imported into all major spreadsheet programs and databases, getting the results into your spreadsheet is a snap.
Does B-U-E come pre-loaded with exams?
The B-U-E component does not come packages with any exams. If your interested in exam construction please contact us and we can discuss your requirements in detail.
Is it possible to upload a word document with this component?
Although it is in the project road map. B-U-E doesn't currently support file uploads.
Is B-U-E only for language proficiency exams?
Although B-U-E was designed for online language proficiency exams, there are no limitations on what kinds of problems you can create with this component.
Is B-U-E compatible with Joomla 3.0?
Yes, B-U-E has been compatibility tested on Joomla 2.5, Joomla 3.0, and Joomla! 3.1
Can B-U-E test students pronunciation?
At this time, this feature is not supported. However it is in the project road map and we are working hard to get it implemented.
Does B-U-E automatically generate certifications?
No. We decided not to implement this type of feature, because certification is really an administrative task. Implementing such a feature would require us to make a lot of assumptions about how you run your business or school. As a rule we try not to force our assumptions on our clients. Instead we focus on making B-U-E the most comprehensive test management system available for the Joomla CMS.
Does B-U-E have Paypal integration?
We don't like making decisions about how you should run your business. That is why B-U-E doesn't have built-in Paypal Integration. instead we made sure that B-U-E uses the native Joomla user system, so your free to choose whatever eCommerce solution works for your project and rest assured knowing that B-U-E will integrate with it.
Do you offer an admin demo?
To be honest we tried to offer a demo of the admin area, but we spent more time cleaning it up than we did working on the component. So instead we decided to offer a full 60 day money back guarantee, so that you can try to use it for your project risk free. Another benefit is when you decide that B-U-E is the right solution, you haven't wasted any time in some make believe website. All the effort invested in learning B-U-E's administrator interface goes towards completing your project.
How many domains can install the component on?
Personally we feel that domain installation restrictions go against the spirit of Open Source and the GNU, so there are no limitations to the number of domains you can install the component on. However we ask you to remember that all purchases help insure that we can continue to provide you with amazing solutions.

ASU basketball looking to 'come together as a team' in China
Originally published: Jul 24, 2013 - 11:23 am
If that is indeed the case, then ASU should be the most together team once its upcoming road trip is completed. At least, that's the hope as the Sun Devils ready themselves for an 11-day summer tour to China.
"Aside from being goodwill ambassadors from ASU and America, we're really looking forward to the fact that we can come together as a team in a different setting. It should be a tremendous bonding opportunity for us," head coach Herb Sendek said.
The trip is part of the Pac-12's Globalization Initiative, which according to the conference is designed to proactively promote the member universities through student-athlete exchanges and sport.
UCLA made the inaugural trip last year. This year, it's ASU's turn.
"We're excited to be able to play a small part in what our university is doing to brand itself around the world," Sendek said.
As part of the tour, the Sun Devils will play three games against Chinese university teams.
Preparation for those games began Monday with the first of ten practices the NCAA affords teams ahead of offseason international competition.
"Any time you're playing competitive basketball with refs and other teams who want to beat you, it's a positive," sophomore Jahii Carson said.
The trip, scheduled to run August 9-19, extends well beyond the court.
Plans are in place for Carson and his teammates to visit the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall; plus there will be further time spent together given the uncertainty of cell phone reception.
"We're going to have to get close to each other, read some books, tell some stories or something because the Internet, Twitter and Facebook is not going to be available for us," Carson said, smiling. "I hope that gets us some more team camaraderie, so we can get that going during the season. Hopefully it's helpful."
Added Jordan Bachynski, who visited China earlier this summer playing for the Canadian Development National Team, "We're going to have to interact. We're going to have to do more than be on our phones. I love these guys and it's going to be even better when we spend even more time with each other."

The UWCA creates great adventures for youth, families, and adults on the Mississippi River. Join us for a day trip, overnight camping trip, or multi-day trip. It's an experience that will last a lifetime.
The UWCA has grown in a few short years into one of the most successful programs in the country for engaging youth with the outdoors. The collaboration between the core partners of Wilderness Inquiry (WI), the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area (NPS), and the Mississippi River Fund (MRF) began in earnest in 2008. These partners set the goal of growing the program to serve 10,000 people a year, mostly students, with a combination of Mississippi River day trips, overnight camping experiences in nearby parks, and canoe "workshops" at local festivals and events. With support from all the partners and additional funding from a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and a grant from the Minnesota Legislative Citizens' Commission on Minnesota Resources, the program grew quickly toward that goal. In 2011 the UWCA paddled with over 8,000 people.
The UWCA program has also developed multiple agency partnerships. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources embraced the development of a water trail and stepped up to help improve canoe landings on the routes along the Mississippi River in the twin cities. Fort Snelling State Park began to host UWCA campers overnight on Picnic Island. Some lucky St. Paul high school kids went all to the way to Glacier National Park in what has become an annual trip.
The 2010 America's Great Outdoors initiative called attention to the UWCA as a model program. A trip in fall of 2010 to the Anacostia River got several other federal agencies and 700 Washington, D.C. area kids in the UWCA voyageur canoes. Not only has the UWCA program been expanding geographically but the larger strategy began to get better definition. Conversations with the U.S. Forest Service Urban Connections program staff resulted in the development of what has become known as the "pyramid." This is a series of connected programs to move young people from their initial engagement with nature during day-trips on the Mississippi River, up through various experiences with the outdoors, from camping to internships, conservation corps and all the way up to careers with the outdoors.
A formal cooperative agreement was signed in 2011 between WI and the NPS and a related interagency agreement was signed between the NPS and USFS, both intended to help move federal support towards the UWCA programs. Individual and corporate donors have been generous with the program support. A new annual fund raising event was launched in 2011, the Great River Race, where sponsored canoes race between Minneapolis and St. Paul. As the 2012 season begins, routes have been changed to eliminate lock usage in order to reduce the threat of Asian carp migrating north through the locks. NPS rangers have developed new, more hands-on educational programs to make these trips even more memorable and valuable to educators. With impressive growth in both size and scope in such a short time, the core partners are working on a strategic plan for the next stages. The strategic plan looks at where and how to develop other parts of the "pyramid", where the program might be developed in other urban areas, and how this exciting initiative can be sustained for many years to come.

Webmaster of Canon 3ti
These pigs will get theirs. They will not get out of this at all.
I feel bad for the victim in this incident, but What a hypocrite of the father to be so concerned now that his son has past away. Where was he when his son was homeless living in the street?
Who are you to judge the father?
you, my friend, is the hypocrite!
THUG,S WITH A BADGE,If it was the other way around and someone killed a cop.Thay would be in jail without bail.PLUS thay would be faceing the death penalty.And it would,t take 3 year,s to put them away like it,s going to take thes two THUG,S
true, if it were the other way around, everyone present would face murder charges.
You watch, come Dec. 16th, the defense will ask for a continuance until after Xmas so Ramos and Cicinelli can enjoy the holidays with their families.
Don't think juries like to work Xmas. distractions outside interfere often passing on the spirits with a more lenient outcome
I wouldnt doubt if they file for and get a change of venue as well... Pugsley and Crooked Face cant get a fair trial in OC..
true... and even if they dont the trial will last well into the new year.
More like the next 4 years
