While he acknowledged that , has sped up the process, Superintendent Dr. Randal A. Lutz said on Wednesday that an increased police presence at Baldwin-Whitehall School District buildings this week is due to his desire to have a strong, lasting relationship with local law enforcement.
As part of their ordinary patrols, armed police officers are appearing near and inside of the district's five public schools more often this week than they have in recent memory.
The Baldwin Borough Police Department is patrolling McAnnulty and W.R. Paynter elementary schools, while the Whitehall Police Department patrols Whitehall Elementary, J.E. Harrison Middle and Baldwin High schools.
"Of course, the events of last Friday have caused everyone to look at what they're doing and see where their strengths are and what any concerns may be in the area of security," Dr. Lutz said. "That's something that we've always been trying to do, but I'd be naïve to say that, when you have something like this occur, it doesn't increase and ramp up your vigilance."
However, Lutz also said that, dating back to his time as the principal of J.E. Harrison Middle, he has been a strong proponent of local police officers and school employees—particularly building principals—having an established familiarity with one another and their surroundings, regardless of recent events.
"In a time of need, that principal—that's the key communicator," Lutz said. "So we need to make sure that we have those open lines of communication back and forth."
Police officers, like other visitors to district schools, must check in at the buildings' main offices/security desks.
"I welcome them into the building," Lutz said of the officers. "I think it's great to see that presence.
"I want that presence to continue. To me, it's not a short-range thing. It (the Newtown incident) may have prompted something to happen a little quicker than otherwise was happening, but it's (the police presence is) a good thing. And I'm very much in support of it.
"This should not be an event. This should be more of a practice."
Lutz said that his welcoming attitude extends to officers of either borough, whether they're visiting a school within their jurisdictions or not.
Lutz could not say whether or not the high level of police activity at district schools this week will continue in future weeks, but he did say that he would like it to. The amount of staffing made available by the local police departments would determine that more than anything.
School district money is not being used to fund the increased police presence.

I would like to applaud Sheriff Matthews for the honor and courage he brings to Kershaw County and surrounding communities. His qualifications and experience far exceed our comprehension as law-abiding citizens.
This is a new year. A new beginning. A time to think about family, friends and acquaintances. A time to think about how much they mean to you.
We at Let Freedom Ring do want to publicly state what happened to Congresswoman Giffords and everyone in attendance at the "Meet the Congresswoman" event at a Safeway Grocery store in Tucson on Jan. 8 was a tragedy and we pray for the full recovery of all who were wounded and pray for the families of those who were slain. I ask the local Tea Party to also make similar public sentiments.
I had an old aluminum jon boat stolen from my property in late August of last year. Imagine my surprise when I received a call from Kershaw County Sheriff's Office Investigator Justin Dill Jan. 14, informing me that they had arrested the individuals responsible for the theft. Although the boat was not recoverable, the suspects were in custody.
It has always been a fantasy of mine to write something that my local newspaper would publish. Thinking too hard, I just could not come up with anything. It's right in front of me now and so easy to write. Easy to say, easy to write. Truth and reality!
Here is my take on the law escort fee for funerals. I agree there should be a fee, just not as much as proposed. It was stated that it takes deputies away from their patrol. If this is the case the school board has to be charged for the traffic control before and after school, because we have more schools in this county than SROs to handle this task so that takes deputies away from their patrol. There has been times when there are two or three deputies in the highway at Jackson School in the afternoon just standing around.
I recently came across the following statement, "The Law in the U.S. requires three elements to be present in any crime: the Act, Intent and Damage (mens rea -- willful intent, actus reus -- act or crime, corpus delicti -- body of the crime, the actual damage). It is estimated that 90 percent of the people prosecuted by the courts in the U.S. committed no crime." That is a very powerful statement. Basically what it is saying is that most people in prison today are there because we simply refused to accept their behavior. It has become the norm in America ...
The kings and queens who rule over the education of our children and spend 42 cents of every dollar they receive on them are building a new and wonderful palace. Their kingdom is vast as they are the largest employer in all of Kershaw County. They purchase property across this land, sometimes at higher than market value. The kings and queens lay off teachers first while keeping the palace staff; after all, they must have a large staff to look over their vast kingdom. Now that their subjects have denied more funds, they have decided to show their subjects that ...
From all of the staff at the Walter M. Crowe Animal Shelter, we would like to thank everyone for their support. The Chronicle-Independent has graciously hosted the "Pet of the Week" and thanks to their help, hundreds of dogs and cats have found new homes!
As we start 2011, let's take time out to thank your county leaders and administration for a great year in 2010.
In addition to Steve Parrott's letter of Dec. 22th I would like to add my concerns about the dangerous intersection at U.S. 1 and Springdale Drive and the numerous accidents there. I am also a resident of the Springdale area and see logging trucks as a big problem, but so are other vehicles. The 45-mph speed limit approaching the final curve at Wal-Mart needs to be lowered to 35 mph. Drivers go zooming in at 50 to 60 mph. Not only is this a busy intersection but there is a lot of traffic entering and exiting the numerous ...
If people are going to criticize the school board and school district superintendent for how money is spent, researching first is in order. In South Carolina, facilities and personnel are separate "pots" of money and cannot be mixed. Spending money to build does not affect money for teachers.
As we look back on 2010, one cannot but be proud of our wonderful community with all of its heritage, history and opportunities for the future. Two very important aspects of our community which set us apart from so many others are the number of community based organizations and the generous contributors who make up these organizations. One of these organizations, which made such significant contributions to our community over the past number of years, is the Camden Tree Foundation. The foundation, a non-profit corporation founded in 1982, is an all-volunteer organization which during its history has relied upon the ...
My family and I have unfortunately been through the loss of my youngest brother recently. With this being totally unexpected and the first time making arrangements for an immediate family member, we contacted Robbie Powers of Powers Funeral Home.
If our school board and the superintendent of education spent as much time on education as they do on acquiring property, maybe we would be able to do a more credible job of education.
Having spent many hours working to get the historic Seaboard Railroad station preserved, I was extremely pleased to see that Amtrak was at the city council work session June 22 to present its plan for improvements to the station.
During the last Camden City Council work session, and as reported in the July 28 Chronicle-Independent, the concept of "adaptive reuse" of Rhame Arena was discussed. It was during this discussion that it was noted that the concept and sketch under discussion was developed by the daughter of Marti Wallace and Mike Jones (Elizabeth Ancrum Jones). Miss Jones developed her proposal several years ago. After a discussion of the property during a prior council meeting, her work was provided to city staff for their consideration.
It is always exciting to read positive press in the Chronicle-Independent concerning businesses in our area. Sam Kendall's 2014 Certificate of Excellence Award was wonderfully covered by the C-I for its hard-earned recognition. Each year, TripAdvisor assesses local businesses worldwide and awards certificates to those with very high ratings. For 2014, they awarded three Certificates of Excellence in Camden to Sam Kendall's, Salud! Mexican Kitchen, and Bloomsbury Inn. In addition, their highest recognition, Traveler's Choice Awards, honors like businesses nationwide. As the C-I well-covered earlier in the year, Bloomsbury was a Traveler's Choice Award winner for ...

this girl is stupid if i had a baby at 15 i would of got kicked out and cused out
@janae12 & Wing4angels
you two aren't the brightest crayons in the box, are you?
She was 12, not 15, and she wasn't whoring around like you were at her age. HER FATHER RAPED AND IMPREGNATED HER.... did you seriously not read the article that you just took the time to post on?! PS "at 15, I* would HAVE* (or WOULD'VE*) BEEN* kicked out and CUSSED* out." I don't feel like editing your entire post, but I'm pretty sure I've made my point... UNTIL YOU LEARN TO READ (as in read the whole fucking article, not just the headline) AND WRITE (write PROPERLY, anyway, although I'm not holding out much hope for you because you're pretty obviously a fucking idiot) YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO CRITICIZE AND/OR CALL SOMEONE STUPID! It's hypocritical and makes you sound even more retarded than you look.

Special to the Progress
"Finally, brothers, good-bye. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you." — 2 Corinthians 13:11(NIV)
My 11-month-old grandson is learning to wave goodbye. He has said, "Bye-Bye," once. Only two people, including myself, were witnesses to those spoken words. It was exciting to share the news with his parents, who have not heard him say those words yet.
Recently, I came across some interesting information about the origin of the word, "goodbye," which is one of the most common ways to say farewell. Other ways to bid someone goodbye include "peace," "so long," "later gator," and "ciao." A form of goodbye has been used since the 16th century and comes from "godbwye," a contraction of "God be with ye." That phrase, influenced by "good day" and "good evening," was abbreviated into "bye" and "bye-bye."
Several Spanish terms of farewell have also found their way into common use in the English language, including Adios, which is a contraction of a, which means "to," and Dios, which means "God." Another Spanish term, Hasta luego, means "see you later." It was Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his role of the Terminator, who popularized the expression, hasta la vista, which means "so long" or "until we meet again."
I love this Irish blessing about saying goodbye: "May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand." Can't you just picture God holding you in the hollow of His hand?
Goodbyes can hurt sometimes, depending on the situation. As one unknown author said, "A goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again." Isn't it great to know that God never says "goodbye?" We are the ones who walk away, usually without bidding Him farewell. We just drift away. However, He's always there, patiently waiting with extended hand to say hello again, even if time has passed.
In 2 Corinthians 13:11, Paul bids adieu to the Corinthians, encouraging them to live in peace and harmony so that the God of love and peace will be with them. Paul reminds them of the need for unity among God's people in the church. Many congregations have divided, caught up in quarreling and jealousy, and the hurt leads people to leave the church.
Most of the time, the quarrels are about petty things, like the color of new carpet in the sanctuary. Other times, the disagreements are of a more serious nature. Whatever the differences that lead to a breakdown in unity, they should never be the cause of someone's walking out the church doors without so much as a goodbye.
It is up to each one of us to change our ways. If Jesus is in us, then saying goodbye to someone should never be the final farewell.

CUMBERLAND — Cumberland established a sister city with Vilijandi, Estonia, on Wednesday, as Mayor Brian Grim and other city officials closed the deal via technology created in Estonia known as Skype.
Although officials from the European nation were not able to travel to Cumberland to sign the sister city agreement, Skype enabled a three-way online video feed to occur at City Hall between the mayor of Vilijandi and his staff, the U.S. ambassador to Estonia and his staff in Washington and Grim and two city officials.
Grim was joined during the Skype connection by Jeff Rhodes, city administrator, and Shawn Hershberger, economic development coordinator for the city.
"It's great to do this kind of thing because there are new kinds of exchanges and it's a way to exchange ideas around the globe at this point," said Grim.
Estonia, with a population of 1.3 million, is located on the Baltic Sea, 60 miles due south of Finland.
There had been a relationship between Estonia and Allegany County in the past, according to Grim, but it had not developed. A new mayor was elected in Vilijandi and he reached out to renew the relationship.
"We saw that as an opportunity," said Grim.
An official with the Estonian delegation in Vilijandi spoke on the renewal of the relationship.
"I really hope that this is the beginning of a people-to-people relationship that can really make a difference," said the official.
Grim said that working with the people in Vilijandi will allow for an exchange of governmental and cultural ideas.
"Estonia is very well-developed in technology," said Grim.
"Skype was actually developed in Estonia and today was the first opportunity to use it as a three-way call between these three sites," said Grim.
The Estonian delegations in Vilijandi and Washington made the relationship official by signing the required documents, along with the Cumberland delegation, during the Skype call.
Estonians are considered an ancient people with an ancestry that has been traced back to 3000 BC.
"It's really unique and it has technology supporting it," added Grim.
Estonia's official language is called Estonian and belongs to the Finnic branch of the Uralic family of languages. Translators spoke for the Estonian delegation members who don't speak English.
"It's great to see these folks that you only communicate with by letter and email," said Grim.
Members of the groups from Estonia and Cumberland both said they hoped to arrange mutual visits sometime in the future.

How much of Enders Game can you alter for a movie and still be true to Orson Scott Cards novel?
Can you change the hero from a freakishly brilliant 6-year-old, who spends years preparing for a battle against a distant enemy, into a young teenager who needs only a few months to master warfare?
Can you soften the title character from someone with uncontrollable rage, who murders two bullies by smashing them to pulp, into a boy who kills no one and goes to the bedside of one victim to see if hell recover? (Ender isnt even responsible in that case: He shoves his assailant, and the boy slips and hits a concrete step with his head.)
Can you strip away a long subplot, reducing Enders brother to a mean sibling with a few lines and Enders sister to an empathic nonentity?
Can you give Ender (Asa Butterfield) a female confidant (Hailee Steinfeld) to whom he confides humanitarian feelings on the eve of destruction, so well like him better?
The movie does all these things and caps them with a sudden ending too sudden to make much sense that turns this story into a more conventional teen comes of age and saves the planet narrative.
But writer-director Gavin Hood tells the story he has chosen efficiently, exploring the crucial idea that a foe we dont understand may not be a foe at all. And a superb performance by Butterfield keeps us attached emotionally to Ender at all times. Hes not the mercurial kid from the book, but that may be a good thing for viewers who dont demand fidelity.
The filmmakers, mindful of Cards recent proclamations against homosexuality and gay marriage, have changed a couple of things to avoid controversy. Enemy soldiers, invariably referred to as buggers in the book, now get called by their formal name of Formics. Bonzo, Enders nemesis in battle school, has been changed from a handsome boy on whom Ender has a brief kid-crush to a homely little creep.
The book gave Ender a surrogate dad in gruff Col. Graff (Harrison Ford), who readies him for the combat that could preserve humankind. Now he also gets a surrogate mom, an empathic female psychologist (Viola Davis) who watches over him.
Yet most moviegoers will remember the battle sequences, first inside a gravity-free room at school and then in outer space, because they rock the theater as they need to do. And when that sudden ending comes, Butterfield carries off the complex emotions and improbable plot twist well. (The books main narrative flaw, which would involve a spoiler here, hasnt been solved in the film. In fact, plot compression makes it more obvious.)
Hood has chosen his supporting cast of young people wisely, although Enders crew comes across like one of those improbably balanced platoons in a World War II movie: a white guy, a white girl, a black guy, a kid who seems to be a Latino and a Muslim who tells Ender Peace be with you in Arabic. (In the future, the human brotherhood hates creatures that look like giant ants, not each other.)
The happiest surprise is Ben Kingsley, who can act up a storm with unblinking ebony eyes, as iconic fighter pilot Mazer Rackham. In this retelling, hes half-Maori and has elaborate face decorations that connect him with warriors in his bloodline. Why? you may wonder. In a movie that takes this many liberties, why not?

Taurus/Sable Maintenance & Repair
It turned out to be a small window control relay module located inside driver's door. It would make a buzzing noise intermittently and not allow power to the fuel pump. When I installed the new relay the car started right up, installing the old relay would not allow the car to start. I have no idea how it's connected or the why. I tried to follow the wiring diagram but could not figure out why or how the defective relay would NOT allow power to the fuel pump. The relay is about $90 at a Ford place. I stopped into a used auto wrecking yard and purchased one for $5.
bmang Posts: 1My Sable Wagon cranks but will not start. Symptom: While I was cranking the other day, it was just about to fire up when I heard a click, after which it would crank but not start.
I have read other postings hear which indicate that it might just be the battery and I will try that first.
However, I havea feeling that my problem might be elsewhere. I had assumed that the clicking meant that some computer relay had just gone kaput and that I would have to tow it in to get it put on the machine to see where the problem lies.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions?
bigboy11 Posts: 8I have been experiencing choppy ties, Is it due to a needed strut replacement or allingnment, I also have a question about a hard shift I have it isn't hard but noticeable, the front of my car seems to bobble around but all new joints barings an tie's rack is ok, maybe a mount , need help please, I know it is alot at once...thank u...

I've a 2005 Mercury Sable.
We discovered when the heater and fan is running, there was a rattle and smoke!
We discovered that one of the three caps(?) on the A/C compressor had come loose, and that's where the smoking was coming from. It finally came off, and the inside is melted.
Then, after that one came off, a 2nd one popped right off!
What's happening? Why in the world would 2 of these caps come off on their own like that? And what caused them to melt inside? Is there some moving part they're covering?
This started last night after we took a sharp curve to the left too fast. All of a sudden that's when the noise and smell started. Did that cause it to shift? Is it migrating off it's bolts? Is it about to come loose and crash around?
Additional note:
I have no idea if this is related, if it's bad or nothing... I may be paranoid, but it seems to me that the spinning pulley part on the compressor is wobbling just a teeny bit against the pink bushing or gasket (?) that's between the pulley and the three capped bolts. However, those three bolt ends and the plate at the end don't appear to move at all.
Anyway, thanks for any suggestions or advice!
tedwards Posts: 6I have coolant boiling in reservoir and overflowing. I have replaced the thermostat water pump and flushed the radiator. After searching, all things are pointing to a head gasket issue. My question is, with 212,000 miles, should I try a head gasket sealer( and which one) or should I shell out the $ to get it repaired correctly. My plan is to keep the car at least 3 more years.
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 44,402You can test for a head gasket, you don't have to guess. Have someone (or you) pressurize the cooling system, then pull the spark plugs one by one and look for coolant on them. If nothing there, then you can test the coolant in the radiator chemically, for the presence of combustion gases, because your exhaust gases are boiling water for you.
A sealer is just an exercise in denial. It won't last and probably not even work at all, if the head gasket is actually damaged.
95fordshoguy Posts: 1I have a 95 Sho, when the weather is warm it runs great no idle problem, but when it gets cold or rainy it stalls when I come to a stop. Now the guy that had it before me said he did a 3.2 Liter swap from an Automatic. Mine is a 5 Speed Manual Trans I took it to the shop and the guy said all the sensors that were unpluged were for the Auto Trans and wanted to charge me my first born to diagnose. I have replaced almost every sensor I can think of. Mass Airflow, Idle Air Control, TPS, Coil Pack and I did plugs and wires....I don't know what this can be. But whatever it is, it seems to be getting worse as the weather changes here in Ohio! Any Ideas?
that does sound very much like an alternator problem, you're not charging your battery, which should be happening when you drive. most auto shops and stores will do a test on alternator, and the cost varies, re-manufactured is good, or even just used from a wrecking yard.
very backyard mechanic here, have a 96 sable, am about to change the heater core as the heater only "steams" the windows, and not with warm air.
however, the engine does not overheat, nor lose oil or water, there is a "gas" odor on the dipstick, and a creamy looking "sludge" on oil cap.
any advice would greatly be appreciated.
wings8823 Posts: 19I have a 2011 Ford Taurus SEL. When driving forward (and downward) out of my driveway onto the two-way street in front of my house, which the slope of the street becomes a slight incline, I notice a vibration either from the driver's side or the passenger side of the car, depending on whether I am turning right or left.
The vibration occurs at slow speeds (15 - 20 MPH) AFTER completing the turn. This does not happen on level surfaces.
I went by my Ford Dealership to take a tech for a "test drive." Failing to reproduce the vibration, while we talked, he said that both front drive axles have two halves that slide back and forth on the "spline" as the front suspension moves up and down. This section of the drive axles have a rubber boot that is sealed from the factory with grease. However, sometimes there may not be enough grease inside the grease boots.
You may want to check to see if there is enough grease inside the boots by merely squeeziing the boots. If the boots easily compress with little or no resistance there may be little of no grease inside the boots to lubricate the sliding halves of the axles.
Should the drive axle boots (transmission end of each axle) need grease, there is an adapter you can connect to a grease gun that is flat on one end. Loosen the clips on the rubber boots. Gently slide the flat end of the adaptor between the rubber boot and the axle.
Next, apply enough grease from a "hand operated" grease gun to fill the rubber grease boot. Best to do this at BOTH ends of the rubber grease boots....
Next, after completing filling the boots with grease, gently remove the adaptor and retighten the boot clips.
NOTE: Use a hand-held, manually pumped grease gun. Using a grease gun under air pressure could put TOO MUCH grease in the boot; thereby, causing a tear or puncture in a boot!
I recommend using "Black Moly Grease" which also contains graphite. This is a grease that can be used for ball joints as well.
Some rear-wheel drive SUV's have drive-shafts which also have a section that slides on a spline as the rear wheels move up and down. Sometimes there is a "grease ZERK" fitting. I also recommend periodically using 'black moly grease' on this fitting as well.
rkey2000 Posts: 1Go ahead and buy a Taurus. Don't let all the negative press deter you. I bought my wife a 1998 Taurus with 35,000 miles on it in 1999 and it was a dependable car. We changed the regular stuff like tires and wiper blades and regular oil changes and never had any problems. With 135,000 miles on it we traded it in to buy a 2003 Taurus with 30,000 miles on it. This Taurus is a good car too. Look at your Car Fax when buying a used car. Make sure the previous owner has been doing all the service the car has needed on time. Also if the car has showed signs of being a piece of junk needing lots of work, walk away and dont buy it. I think that buying a used car with 30,000 miles on it gave me a chance to see what kind of car I would be buying.

As promised, we're giving you another exclusive access to Sarah Geronimo's trip to Japan!
If our fellow brothers in Japan were all thankful for Sarah's concert last August 28, the then State Secretary for Foreign Affairs Chiaki Takahashi felt the same way too! He even thanked and admired Sarah for generously bring hope and joy to the Filipinos based in Japan. After her concert, the disaster –stricken country is once again able to enjoy and appreciate the beautiful sights and lovely places of Japan. Thanks to the inspiration given by Sarah Geronimo!
To show that Japan is a lovely country to visit, the Popstar Princess visited the city of Yokohama! As shared by Sarah, this is already her third visit in Japan. Nevertheless, she still cherished every bit of her Japan experience.
According to Sarah, the land of the rising sun is very beautiful at night. With the colorful lanterns and sweet smell of air, Sarah felt she was in wonderland. Everything she sees, hears, smells, tastes, and touches is delightful!
Well, the photos can very well express the emotions of the Popstar Princess. Sarah was all smiles as she visited the famous places of Yokohama City. And just like every Filipino, Sarah bought some souvenirs and 'pasalubong' for her friends and families.
A trip to a foreign land isn't complete without tasting the delicacies and famous dishes of the country. Thus, Sarah ate at Japan's most-sought restaurants! She also tried Japan's renowned chopsticks!
I guess this summarizes the wonderful adventure of our Popstar Princess! Next stop is Israel! We promise to give you exclusive photos on the next trips of Sarah. So, make sure to visit her official website daily! Until next time! Domo arigato!
This article is brought to you by Sarah Geronimo's official website. For updates about the Popstar Princess, visit www.sarahgeronimo.ph
Konnichiwa! Last August 28, our Popstar Princess held a concert in Yokohama, Japan. The concert, entitled Million Thanks, was put up to uplift the spirits of our kababayan's based in Japan. The devastating earthquake and tsunami are still fresh in the memories of our brothers in Japan. But now, Sarah Geronimo, the Philippines' pride singer, tells everyone that Japan is still beautiful like before. Here are some exclusive photos of Sarah's adventure in Japan!
Together with her parents and close friends from the Viva family, Sarah toured the beautiful city of Tokyo! These lovely pictures show that Sarah did not just brought happiness to Japan. At the same time, Japan's best-kept tourist spots also gave beautiful smiles to the Popstar Princess.
As seen in the photos, Sarah tried different Japanese traditions such as the cleansing water and wishing place. The Popstar Princess also visited the famous Meiji Jingu shrine in Tokyo. This shrine is in honor of Emperor Meiji and his wife Empress Sh?ken.
One thing that Sarah loves about Japan is its attachment to nature. The water, the trees, and the air have significant meanings for the Japanese people.
Sarah's trip to Japan was so perfect! She had her family and friends with her to cherish the moments. There are more photos of Sarah's trip in Japan! So, watch out for the second sequel.
This article is brought to you by Sarah Geronimo's official website. For updates about the Popstar Princess, visit www.sarahgeronimo.ph
Last August 26 to 30, 2011 the famous Filipino pop singer Ms. Sarah Geronimo visited Japan to stage a concert in Yokohama city at Kanagawa prefecture. The concert's main purpose is to uplift the spirits of the Filipinos who are currently based there.
The Government of Japan welcomed her endeavors, and on August 29, the then State Secretary for Foreign Affairs Chiaki Takahashi received a courtesy call from Ms. Geronimo. He expressed his sincere gratitude for the support extended by the Filipino people at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Since the disaster, while there was a decrease in foreign tourists, one the most popular Filipino singers visited Japan, who not only encouraged the Filipino people in Japan, but also conveyed a positive message to the entire world that Japan is a safe place to visit.
This fact has been confirmed by then State Secretary for Foreign Affairs Takahashi who said, "Most parts of Japan have not been affected by the disaster at all, and remain 'open for business and travel.'"
In reply to this, Ms. Geronimo said that this is her third time to visit Japan. "Despite the disaster, Japan supported me, and made my biggest concert successful. When I go back to the Philippines, I would like to send a message to the Filipinos that Japan is a safe country to visit, and encourage them to experience Japan," Ms. Geronimo said.
After the concert, she visited famous locations in Tokyo such as Ginza, Asakusa and Harajuku for sight-seeing and shopping. Ms. Sarah Geronimo's message can be viewed by clicking on the following links: http://www.jnto.go.jp/eq/eng/06_video.htm http://www.youtube.com/embed/G0jewBfUfwc

Fan Fare
Entertainment behind the scenes
Conan slicks it up for "Tonight Show" debut
Conan O'Brien is famous for his geeky pompadour hair style and weird sketches, but on his Monday night debut as host of NBC's "The Tonight Show," the comedian looked as if he meant to tone down the more risky elements of his former show ("Late Night") to win over audiences grown accustomed to watching the affable Jay Leno for 17 years.
The Masturbating Bear and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog were absent from the show, after becoming burned into the memories of anyone who stayed up until 12:30 a.m. to watch O'Brien's former show "Late Night" on NBC. Those two staples of the old show were true to its style of using cheap costumes and props to play up a double joke, the surface humor of one-liners and the underlying comedy of a major network show relying on cheesy production values.
Instead, in his "Tonight Show" debut O'Brien relied on an endless stream of humor showing him as a fish-out-of-water transplant from New York landed in Los Angeles. There were jokes involving the Clippers and the Lakers basketball teams, the famed Hollywood sign and a tour of Universal Studios, a theme park attraction. Making fun of L.A. was a staple of Leno's show, with his "Jaywalking" sketch that involved testing city residents' often abysmally low knowledge of topical news and history, such as who was the first U.S. president.
In his "Tonight Show" debut, O'Brien made fun of L.A. too, but most of his jokes spun back at himself. In a segment showing O'Brien at a Lakers game, instead of sitting up front with celebrity royalty Jack Nicholson, O'Brien was shown stuffing himself with popcorn in the arena's last row.
Will it be au revoir, or adieu for Jay Leno fans?
It's the end of an era in "beautiful downtown Burbank" this week as Jay Leno takes leave of "The Tonight Show" after 17 years as host — only to return to the same TV studio lot a few months later with another show that sounds a lot like the old one but at 10 pm instead of 11.35 pm.
So the question is not so much how much Leno will be missed, as how many of his fans will follow him to the earlier time slot, and how many new fans who couldn't manage to keep their eyes open until midnight will now tune in for "The Jay Leno Show" before going to bed in the fall.
My Name is …Twitition?? "Earl" fans launch Twitter rescue campaign
NBC wouldn't save it, but could Twitter rescue the axed TV comedy "My Name is Earl"?
Actor Ethan Suplee, who plays Earl's buffoonish brother Randy Hickey on the four year-old American comedy show, has a Twitter campaign aimed at trying to persuade another U.S. television network to pick up the series, which NBC said this week it was dropping from its fall schedule.
UPDATE – Farrah Fawcett cancer special a ratings hit for NBC
Farrah Fawcett's farewell message to the American public drew 8.9 million TV viewers on Friday, according to NBC, and a flood of comments on this site, many of them from well-wishers asking where they could send messages of support to the actress.
For all those who asked and any others, we came up with an email address where such messages can be sent and hopefully passed onto Fawcett.
Clooney returns to "ER" — did he bring his bedside manner?
George Clooney finally did put his scrubs on again for "ER" — but only faithful viewers of the hospital drama would have known because of a curious lack of promotion over what had been a long-hoped for return by the show's biggest star.
Clooney's turn as (Dr Doug Ross) — still happily married to Nurse Carol Hathaway (Julianna Marguiles) — brought struggling NBC a welcome ratings boost.

Today's weather forecast: Crazy Eights
I will not talk to you about where the best burger in the city is. Or the best cupcake. Because I am not a small child. Yet other intolerable foodies are constantly trying to draw me into nuanced reviews of kid food. Debating which is the best burger stopped being interesting right around the time that arguing over which superhero would win in a fight did.
I enjoy a good hamburger as much as I enjoy an amazing guitar riff or a spectacular set of boobs. That doesn't mean those things are worth analyzing on a blog post. Yet I have seen people who have eaten at El Bulli parsing whether Short Order is better than Umami. I did not spend all this money becoming a food snob just to discuss things that people who save for their child's college education can.
We've become too lazy. It's a lot harder to appreciate the subtleties of saffron in bouillabaisse than it is to carry on about how meaty/cheesy/bready/awesomey that burger was. We have normalized surface pleasures so much, the next thing you know, this magazine will devote an entire section to plastic surgery.
Foodies talking about burgers is particularly sad because it's a bunch of uptight people trying to prove they can be fun—in the wrong way. They're trying to pair toppings with the perfect craft brew and asking the waitress which beef blends were used. It's like going to an orgy with a nerd who spends the whole time comparing it to Roman, Greek, and 1970s orgies. Only it's more boring because he's talking about a cheeseburger.
All this haute fast food is crowding out real haute cuisine. I have seen the greatest chefs of our generation destroyed by ground beef and pizza dough. The brilliant Neal Fraser is opening a hot dog restaurant. It's as if our finest literary professors were deconstructing Everyone Poops.
We foodies are the last trench in the battle of adulthood versus permanent childhood. We must save our polemics for bordeaux vintages, regional moles, and sushi rice styles. For if we, too, succumb to the easy pleasures, then the hard ones will disappear. And then we will not be superior anymore.

TYLER — College Football Games to Watch
Game 1: No. 16 Texas A&M (6-2, 3-2 in SEC) at No. 15 Mississippi State (7-1, 3-1, 11 a.m. (ESPN)
Todd's take: The Aggies have a big chance to make a statement in the SEC with a victory on the road Saturday in Starkville. This should be a tougher test than A&M's game at Ole Miss (tight win) and Auburn (blowout win) but the Bulldogs remain the biggest unknown in the conference. Mississippi State jumped out to a 7-0 start against a weak schedule. Then the Bulldogs ran into the NFL's 33rd team, top-ranked Alabama, and got destroyed 38-7. The Aggies looked great in a 63-21 pounding of Auburn. A&M does have to turn around one bad trend — the Aggies haven't forced a turnover in three weeks while in the three games before hapless Auburn they turned it over 13 times. The Bulldogs have seven turnovers in eight games. You can't lose the turnover battle on the road and win.
Game 2: Pittsburgh (4-4) at No. 3 Notre Dame (8-0), 2:30 p.m. (Ch. 5)
Todd's take: Look who's back in the national title hunt — the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. If you read this column last week or studied "Pick the Winners" on Thursday your's truly called the Irish's stunning upset of Oklahoma. Stunning in how Notre Dame physically dominated a very confident OU team. Definitely one of the season's most exciting games and also one that lived up to the pre-game billing. It's also always fun to see Big Game Bob — Bob Stoops — whining up a storm on the OU sideline. Here's what we found out about the Golden Domers — QB Everett Golson can wing it, LB Manti Te'O is the best player in college football and should be the Heisman Trophy favorite (sorry Collin Klein) and Brian Kelly can flat out coach. Pitt is awful. Really I can't believe the Panthers have won four games. The Irish have a clear path to 11-0 with a weak schedule the rest of the way before their final game against Southern Cal.

GAME NOTES: Both the Miami-Florida Hurricanes and the Maryland Terrapins will attempt to halt their respective losing streaks on Wednesday night when they meet up at the Comcast Center for an Atlantic Coast Conference showdown.
Miami had the misfortune of playing a pair of ranked squads last week and came away with two double-digit home losses to Duke (67-46) and Syracuse (64-52) to slip to 2-5 in the ACC. The Hurricanes are hovering slightly above .500 this season at 10-9 and have been surprisingly strong on the road at 5-2.
Maryland has also lost back-to-back games, falling at NC State on Jan. 20 (65-56) before suffering an 83-79 home setback on Saturday versus nationally- ranked Pittsburgh. The Terps are losers of four of their last five games to fall to 3-4 in the league and 11-9 overall, although their stellar home record (7-3) still gives them plenty of hope for this matchup.
In regards to the all-time series, Miami holds a 13-8 advantage over the Terps, which includes a 54-47 triumph in the most recent contest on Jan. 13, 2013.
The Hurricanes were no match for the unbeaten Orange in their latest bout, as they fell behind by as many as 18 before dropping the 12-point decision. They shot a mere 39.1 percent from the field and were thoroughly outmanned in the rebounding battle, 39-24. Davon Reed impressed in his reserve role, shooting 3-of-4 from 3-point range and 3-of-3 at the foul line en route to a game-high 16 points. Rion Brown was also stellar with 13 points and eight rebounds.
Scoring points has been a major issue for Miami all season long, as it shoots just 41.7 percent from the field for 61.0 ppg, but luckily it has remained competitive thanks to its outstanding defense, which ranks 10th in the nation in allowing only 59.3 ppg. Brown is the only player who scores in double figures with 13.4 ppg, although his 3-point field goal percentage (.326) has been lackluster. Brown also grabs a team-best 6.3 rpg. Donnavan Kirk and Garrius Adams are also relied on for consistent contributions with 9.6 ppg apiece.
The Terps fought back from a double-digit second-half deficit against Pitt over the weekend to make it a close contest down the stretch, but they were never able to overtake the lead as they suffered the four-point loss. They shot an impressive 48.1 percent from the field on the evening but were held back by a game-high 17 turnovers and getting outrebounded, 37-28. Dez Wells paced the losing effort with 19 points and four steals, Jake Layman netted 18 points and Nick Faust and Evan Smotrycz put up 13 and 10 points, respectively.
On the season, Maryland boasts a solid offensive attack, shooting 43.2 percent from the field for 72.4 ppg. Wells pours in a team-best 14.6 ppg on 46.2 percent shooting from the field and 79.3 percent at the foul line. Layman (12.5 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 1.1 bpg) and Smotrycz (11.6 ppg, 6.8 rpg) make up a solid frontcourt duo, while Faust provides a spark off the bench with 10.3 ppg but has drained less than 40 percent of his field goal tries.
Miami's stout defense has allowed it to perform well on the road this season, but even if it holds Maryland's shooting in check, it likely doesn't have enough firepower to keep pace with the Terps in College Park.

Guest Post: Mason Williams Scouting ReportBy
The following a guest post from David Gershman, better know as The Gersh around the Twitterverse. He spent last summer covering the NY-Penn League, and today gives us a firsthand scouting report on Mason Williams, the Yankees top position player prospect now that Jesus Montero is headed to Seattle. You can follow Gersh on Twitter at @Dave_Gershman.
Of all the talent I was able to spectate in 2011, hardly anyone caught my eye to the extent of Mason Williams, Staten Island's everyday center-fielder. The New York-Penn League technically ranks as the third lowest developmental level in baseball, ahead of the Pioneer and Appy Leagues and the Gulf Coast League. Therefore, finding talent to keep an eye on is somewhat rare. As a matter of fact, on a good year there might only be one elite-level talent worth watching in the Penn League. While I'm not claiming Williams to be an elite-level prospect, his upside and advanced skill-set are through the roof, clearly making him a must-see talent.
A scout once requested my opinion on Williams and my reasoning for touting him as much as I did last season. I replied, "After months of Extended Spring Training work, Williams began to hit the cover off of the ball right out of the gate and continued doing so even after the first week of the season. There wasn't any point throughout the year in which he cooled off, and it was rather astonishing." I labeled his everlasting performance as astonishing simply because inconsistency is so common amongst prospects at the short-season level. And it's especially colloquial for those playing their first season as a professional. On to the report.
Williams is a terrific athlete with assets and upside that could make him an above-average major leaguer in the not-too-distant future. Quick hands, loads of bat speed and a smooth bat plain make him an advanced hitter, one that hits both lefties and righties without much problem for someone of his age and level. Williams is prone to making bad contact at times, given his high tendency to swing early in the count and, more importantly, at lousy pitches, but plate discipline is an aspect of his game I imagine he'll be working to ameliorate until he reaches the majors.
While his approach needs some tuning, he has the right idea. As one professional scout noted, "a hitter constantly swinging at pitches early in the count would generally warrant some concern, but if the hitter is either making good contact with pitches in the zone or swinging at hittable pitches than there isn't much of a problem, and Mason Williams often overdoes it, he customarily accounts for both."
Williams has a thin and wiry frame, but contains tons of physicality and, in correspondence, some of the most physical upside the Yankees system. He isn't expected to possess too much power down the road, but certainly enough to avoid being considered a "slap-hitter" of any sort. Remaining a center fielder isn't a question, but the role system (at least according to two scouts), suggests that Angelo Gumbs might be a more adequate center-field option than Williams should both progress at a similar rate. Williams' plus range and baseball instincts, at least for me, make him a more-than-viable candidate to be an every day center-fielder for the Yanks down the road. Williams seemed to have developed refined accuracy as last season progressed. Accuracy sure is expected to develop accordingly, but arm strength is slightly different. As players fill out and develop more fortitude and muscle, they improve the distance and accuracy on their throws. Being that his arm is currently below average unquestionably is a non-issue.
Williams' current and future tool grades are to the right and up a bit. If you need an explanation as to how these grades work, you can read my primer on how professional scouting reports are compiled.
The reason I gave Williams such a low power projection is mostly due to lack of leverage and loft in his swing. Although it's quick and stays through the zone, it's choppy and rather flat. That doesn't make him a bad hitter by any means; it just decreases his power projection. That said, he's shown the ability to hit to all fields and, in doing so, drive the ball. Additionally, I upgraded his overall future potential (OFP) because his range and speed suggest such an adjustment.
All professional scouts have a specific computer program that automatically adjusts OFP based on the weight of the prospect and his positional grade requirements. Meaning, center fielders are supposed to have plus range and speed, even if they aren't that good of hitters. However, what if a first-baseman grades out to have 30 power but 70 speed and defense? His adjusted OFP would lower significantly since first base is a power position. Thus, center field is a speed and defense position.
The Yankees have a rare commodity in Williams, a clear center-fielder with the ability to hit. He's only 20-years of age, so the Yankees obviously won't be rushing him at any point. That said, if he shows he can hit in Charleston I'd expect him to finish the season off in Tampa and eventually head to Trenton sometime in 2013. Unlike his time spent in Staten Island, Williams won't be hitting .349 in Charleston this season, but you can unequivocally expect a to see improvements and maturity in Mason Williams' game. He's a bright player with a bright future.

Good article. Any comparison to the type of player he could be?
Ken Lofton?
Never even thought of that, I was thinking more about current players, but I'd be very happy with Lofton.
Darnell McDonald?
I hope not. That would be quite useless.
McDonald is useless? Gammons would have your ass right now. Kenny Lofton would be satisfying though.
I feel like Gammons and I could talk it out considering we share the same alma mater.
But yea, if some crystal ball tells Cash and Co. that Mason Williams is the next Darnell McDonald, he needs to be traded immediately.
Mason Williams for Justin Upton! Come on Cash get this shit done!
Don't even make Justin Upton jokes around me. The lengths I would be willing to see the Yankees go to acquire J. Up are probably unhealthy.
I would do terrible things to see him in RF.
I like dirty talk. Barr Gerrr
Lofton? This is why prospects fail to live up to expectations.
I live in Billings, MT (home of the Billings Mustangs of the Reds organization). We are definitely in one of the lower levels of development (Pioneer League), but don't underestimate the talent that actually makes it to the Bigs through these levels. Many legends and current major leaguers made their start in Billings (and other developmental leagues). George Brett being the biggest name and Joey Votto probably being the biggest current former Mustang. So, with that said, there's no writing off talent at this level just because it's low. I will definitely be keeping an eye on Williams' development as a big time Yankee fan stuck in Montana. Which, if you ever make your way to Billings, come catch a Mustangs game. Our stadium (Cobb Field/Dehler Park) is one of the finest you will see in the minor leagues at any level. Guaranteed. And we have a lot of fun and loyal fans. Just the way baseball should be.
sorry, just saw the Pioneer League mentioned in there and had to give a shout out on its behalf.
50-Coco Crisp
65-Shane Victorino
This. I was thinking of the cereal man-Cocoa Crispy the whole time.
Victorino would be an ideal, I'd settle for a healthy Aaron Rowand
I wonder what the likelihood is of Williams smoothing out his swing and making some slight adjustments over the next few years that allow him to hit for a little more power.
Somewhere between Gardner and Ellsbury would be nice. Lead off hitter, 13-16 HR, etc. I'd be thrilled with that. A darker version of Brett Gardner though?? Eh, (shoulder shrug).
Scouting report is giving .290-.304 5-9 hr w/ speed and defense in cf. I say coco crisp to Shane victorino. I can't use ellsbury as a comp after 2011 breakout. Williams seems to be a better pure hitter than Gardner.
Well, I'm not necessarily talking about that type of power output either, but a 13-16 HR type of guy? I wonder how attainable that is.
Instead of saying someone "between Gardner and Ellsbury" I suppose I could have just said Victorino. He's pretty much the perfect representation of the type of player that I hope Williams develops into.
I don't think Gardner is a good comp, just a convenient name since he's a current Yankee. Gardner is far more patience and far less hit that how Mason projects, and even if he doesn't end up with any more HR power I think Mason will SLG better with doubles and triples power.
I also think you might want to look around the league at CFs before disparaging Gardner.
Yea, you're definitely right that Gardner is convenient to compare Williams to, but I think it is a good starting point – if not a good comp. Just makes it easy to compare/contrast projections as you did.
I wasn't trying to knock Gardner too much. I was just saying that if Gardner is the type of player that Williams turns out to be, I wouldn't be excited about it.
So at his best, he should develop into a solid, everyday regular with single-digit-HR power? I'm rooting for the kid, but that's not exactly an exciting prospect.
Gardner has single digit home run power. What's wrong with him?
I love Gardner, but he wasn't a prospect anyone followed with great anticipation. Also, Gardner has a speed rating of 70, which is the difference between a solid, everyday regular and Major League star, according to these terms,
Sorry, Gardner had an 80 speed rating. So Mason is a slower Gardner with a better arm?
I don't know what games you are watching, but Gardner has a very good throwing arm. Accurate and usually on a line.
He had 19 assists over the last two years.
Gardner is a classic overachiever since his 1st year of college. Great story.
I'd rather have an over-achiever like Gardner, than an under-achiever like Upton.
And is it really an over-achieving if he has put up two similar years in a row? Maybe he's just this good.
Really? I'd much rather have Justin Upton. Just because, you know, he's a far better player.
Have to assume he meant BJ. Point still holds.
It's not crazy to think it for BJ.
BJ has 19.8 fWAR to Brett's 14.8, in 2 more years of work.
BJ averages 2.885 fWAR per 500 PA's vs. Brett's 4.68. Brett also has the higher fWAR year between the two of them.
This isn't the end all be all calculation because fWAR isn't bulletproof, but BJ was also a 2nd overall draft pick.
Maybe Brett Gardner's defense is so magically good (by far valued way more than anyone else in baseball by a huge margin) that he's elite and among the best players in the league.
Or maybe his defense is overly weighted and WAR is a flawed statistic.
If Gardner was performing similarly in Oakland or Cleveland, people would say he is a decent player who comes cheap but no one would argue that he is borderline elite.
Gardner is a nice story, but definitely receives a good share of undue enthusiasm. In terms of pure production, no way I would take his year last year over Matt Holiday's, Carlos Gonzalez's, Josh Hamilton's, Lance Berkman's or a bunch of other corner outfielder's with lesser WARs.
I never compared Gardner to those other guys and I never said fWAR was bulletproof.
However, if you want to talk offense, that's not so one-sided in BJ's favor either. who had a higher wOBA over the last 2 years combined, BJ Upton or Brett Gardner?
After you figure out the answer, you'll see yet another reason why I said comparing Gardner to BJ Upton favorably isn't crazy talk.
He is this good. I'm a fan. Just responding to his lack of early prospect status and calls for him to improve.
Pete Rose. 160 total HR. Look at Jeter. Yes, different positions and most OF produce more power, but success is not dictated solely by power. Many ways to score runs. That said, a little more power would be nice, but don't reject the overall scouting just because of a lack of power. Let's see what the kid can do before writing him off at the lowest level and only being 20 years old.
I'm not writing off the kid–I want him to be a star! I'm just not seeing Pete Rose or Derek Jeter based on this report. But those are two of the greatest players of all time, not exactly a fair comparison. This report projects him to be a "solid, everyday regular" across the board, except for his "organizational guy"-level power. I hope this scout is underestimating him!
I didn't mean that he would be Rose or Jeter, just wanted to point out that sometimes power is looked at too much in prospects and players overall. I think HRs get too much focus, especially when you look at players that simply aren't built for it but bring other attributes to the table. And who knows, maybe he will develop more power. I too hope the scout underestimates him. Although, I wish that with all our prospects. I want to see more guys make it through the system and lead the team in the future.
This is a projection, not a ceiling. Even still I find it a little pessimistic. Best case? Guy has the athleticism and baseball skill to develop into a hall of fame player. It's not likely, but that's the best case.
HR power is a small part of the equation, as pointed out by others above. That two players both had the same HR total doesn't mean that their overall values were anywhere close.
Best case is Shane Victorino. Proceed accordingly, hug, trade or hold
What's the difference between hug and hold? Besides the fact that the prospects we love get traded or mismanaged.
Hugging is an irrational infatuation "next true Yankee" posting lineups batting leadoff in 2015, proposing trades for great players as the centerpiece prospect. Hold is a rational wait and see with reasonable expectation Shane victorino ceiling
I have to disagree. Victorino had a great 2011, but otherwise has been a good above average player. If he ends up mirroring Victorino that would be a great outcome, but I strongly disagree that's his best case. Guy is a great athlete with really advanced hit tool… Could develop into a HOF player in the best case and far eclipse the great Shane Victorino. The more you repeat your comparisons doesn't make them more accurate. Comparisons are a nice point of reference but otherwise pretty worthless.
its early, the scouting report is really encouraging though. The big mystery about whether Williams develops more power is dependent on how he fills out he really has three potential outcomes right now. He's the son of a former NFL player so its not out of the question he could gain 50+ lbs of muscle and be a big slugger (least likely); he might develop that thin, freakishly strong, wiry frame a la Grandy and BJ Upton that has a ton of power (more likely but how much more is impossible to say), or he could just as easily have single digit hr 5-12 hr potential stated in the article.
Mickey Rivers?
Amazing that he's only 2 weeks younger than Trout.
This scouting report feels like it was written by Ignatius J. Reilly. Colloquial? Really?
I spectated that also, pretty funny.
Haha so I look it up after posting my snarky comment and find out that "spectate" is actually a word, joke's on me. But come on, who the fuck says they "spectated" something?
I believe I've used spectated before, though I may have misremembered.
You don't seem to have much aplomb in your memory.
(been a rough day around here)
great read, I'd like to see more of those scouting reports with the 20-80 grades.

I think I remember Law/Callis/one of those guys mentioning that Mason could have 20-HR power. That would be awesome.
I saw that too, although I was quite interested in David Gershman's description of Williams' swing. Power is not generated by size, or at least it's not the only component. Size and strength are important. More important is the path of the swing, and bat velocity through the zone that generates power. Don Mattingly was what, 5'11″ 185 pounds? He was able to drive the ball because of the angle of his bat through hitting zone and his bat speed. Joe Morgan was 5'6″ (and I'm not even sure he was that tall), but he was very strong, quick bat, nice upper cut. He had not problem hitting a ball 400-450 feet.
I always thought it was interesting that Mattingly credited Lou Piniella for teaching him to use his lower body to drive the ball for power once he got to the majors. I say interesting because Piniella was a big enough guy to hit for power, but he came of age during the the pitching dominated 1960s, bigger ballparks, articifial turf, where making contact was key. He was a line-drive, upper-body hitter who didn't use his lower body. Same with Thurman Munson. A great hitter, but an upper-body hitter. Very still from the waist down. Make contact, drive the ball to all fields. George Brett was that way too, as he was from the Charlie Lau school of hitting, and it wasn't until the 1980s that he began to drive the ball more for HR power, using more of his lower body.
Anyway, got off track. Williams may very well have the strength and the bat speed to be a 20-HR hitter, but it sounds as if he will need to change his approach toward hitting. It's probably too early to know if he will do that, or if he can do it.
Anyone throw a John Mayberry Sr. comp on him yet?
Good article but I don't really agree with the authors assessment of the NY Penn league. He makes it sound like there's almost no MLB talent. In the last 10 or so years, there's been quite a few MLB players come out that league including these from the Yankees organization alone:
Francisco Cervelli
Robinson Cano
Melky Cabrera
Shelley Duncan
Brett Gardner
Wily Mo Pena
John Axford
Brandon Claussen
Phil Coke
Michael Dunn
Sean Henn
Jeff Karstens
Ian Kennedy
Daniel McCutchen
Mark Melancon
Chien-Ming Wang
Pretty sure that list of names proves his point. He didn't say no MLB talent; he said on a good year, there might be 1 elite prospect. None of those guys were what you would call elite prospects, and only 1 (Cano) developed into being an elite player so far.
The Yankees have produced the best second baseman in baseball in Cano, All Star caliber players in Gardner, Wang, Ian Kennedy and John Axford and players such as Evan Longoria, Josh Hamilton, Wade Davis, Ryan Dempster just to name a few have come through that league.
If by "elite", he's taking about a Willie Mays once in a generation type players, I'll accept his point but otherwise I'd say that league is pretty good.
Yeah, but that list is just NY Yankees. I'm pretty sure other teams play in that league!
I get his point, but it did seem it might be a bit extreme, yet he would know better than I.
Agreed. Plus Yankees had a pretty barren system for the first part of the last ten years.
I found the report fairly pessimistic overall. Guess that may come with the territory of tracking short season guys… But there's a ton of talent down there and some of it will develop.
He obviously stands out in the crowd of players in the NY-Penn League. But with Charleston, Tampa, AA and AAA on his to-do list. Its way too early for any comparisons. He does sound appealing especially with the Yankees lack of OF ready for the show. But we can start our watch aided by the wonderful reports which fuel our expectations of the next Yankee star player.
The comparisons are of his skills if they develop to different levels. I don't think it's too early at all. How much you put into them is up to you. Instead of not making comparisons, I'd suggest simply taking an approach that these comparisons are a point of reference and nothing more than that.
Marlon Byrd ?
How about Steve Finley for fantasy comparisons… I'd take that career if he developed and panned out like this.
Marlon Byrd=Bad Memories
Was that Damaso Marte on the hill? That shit doesn't surprise me.
I saw one scouting report give him an 80 in speed… So I'll wait until I see him myself.
Mason is on Twitter if you want to follow him: @MjordanW9 Nothing too exciting, but I have him on my Yankees List
One more comparison to Gardner should be made.
Gardner did really well in Staten Island and skipped Charleston adn went directly to Tampa.
Yankees should do the same thing with Williams, send him right to Tampa, near where his home is.
Two reasons the Yankees won't do this is:
1) Gardner was a college guy adn slightly older.
2) Heathcott will start in Tampa (if healthy) and that would be two CF types in same outfield. Don't think Yankees would put both at same level although one or other could move to left field.
Challenge the kid and see what he does.
I don't know who he projects to be but for the love of God, feed the boy!!!!!
Williams has tweeted over the last couple weeks that he has put on 25 pounds, and based upon his amount of workout tweets, I am confident those pounds are of the muscle variety.
Look for the kid to hit for more gap power, with home runs coming down the road.
There is no way he's put on 25 pounds since October, unless it is fat (and even that would be hard to do), or chemically aided.
I thought I had read somewhere that he had put on 25 pounds since he was drafted 18 months back. That would be more realistic.
it is entirely possible, especially in 4 months time if he's been lifting almost every day. If Williams was built like Bryce Harper or even Slade Heathcott you might be right but Mason is 150 lbs which is seriously underweight for anyone especially a pro-athlete.
Who said anything about since October of last year?
Mason Williams is no where near 150 lbs anymore. The Yankees don't change their player measurements much at all.
That is the same with Manny Banuelos (who is listed at 155, but is much heavier) and Ramon Flores (who is listed at 150, but is easily 170-180 lbs.)
Williams is at least 175 lbs, and should continue to put on weight as he matures.
I have confirmation that Mason Williams now weighs 185 lbs.
sanchez still clear #1 positional player in system until he's moved off of catcher
Yeah, I also found Mike's proclamation weird. Can see arguing for either of the two. Plus Bichette or Ravel isn't exactly far behind.
What about a comparison to Bernie Williams, obv except for the fact Bernie was a switch hitter. But he was also just a little scrawny kid but he turned out okay for the yanks.

In Alberta,registering a business name is necessary if you will be operating a sole proprietorship under any name other than your own, or operating a partnership, a limited partnership or a limited liability partnership (LLP). (Only those practising particular professions, such as lawyers, accountants and dentists, can form and register an LLP type of partnership.)And of course business registration is necessary for corporations.
Note that registering the business name doesn't give you any right of ownership of the name; in fact, several other businesses may be operating under the trade name you choose, as there's no legal requirement for trade names or partnership names to be unique. (The names of LLPs are an exception; if you're registering a business name for an LLP in Alberta, the name has to be unique.) It's a good idea to have a search done before registering a business name anyhow, though, to avoid potential trademark and other legal issues down the line.
Registering a business name in Alberta doesn't require filling out a form because all corporate registry information is keyed directly into the Corporate Registry computer system (CORES). But if you want to see the form to make sure you have all the information you'll need to present to your authorized service provider, you can download the Declaration of Trade Name form from the Alberta Corporate Registry site.
Many of the province's Corporate Registry services have been contracted out to private sector firms; because of this, you need to be sure the authorized service provider can provide the Corporate Registry service you need, and will want to shop around to get the best price for the service, as fees are not government regulated and may vary from office to office.
A declaration of a trade name is classed as a basic service, so any authorized service provider should be able to do this for you. Search for a Registry Agent, near you online or download the Registry Agent Product Catalogue for descriptions of services and fees. The Alberta Business Service Centre lists $40 to $50 as a sample fee for a trade name declaration.
Choosing and registering a business name for a corporation is slightly more complicated, because corporate names must include a legal element (such as Ltd. or Inc.) and because corporate names are only granted once. So if you're going to form an incorporated company with a "named" name (rather than a "numbered" name), you must also get a NUANS Report, which is required to make sure that no one else has the identical name. If you are forming a corporation with a "named" name, you might also choose to form a Professional Corporation, if you practice one of the professions this designation applies to.
Assuming your name "passes", you'll need to present either an original or a carbon copy of the NUANS Report to the accredited service provider at the time of incorporation. The Report must be less than 91 days old when you submit it.
Now that you have your business name, you're ready to register your business. The next page of this article explains the Alberta business registration procedure. Click to continue reading...

Patrick Swazye, here is one hot sexy man! We loved this man in Ghost, Roadhouse, and Dirty Dancing he is a fine looking man. How many of us would love to be held in his arm instead of Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing or Demi Moore in Ghost? Ghost was a romantic movie and it is one of my favorites.
Mel Gibson here is a hot sexy man with a sexy accent. He was the sexiest in Mad Max, Brave Heart, and Lethal Weapon. He is one hot sexy man who could rescue me anytime day or night. I have a thing for sexy accents, and his natural accent is so dang sexy!
Sam Elliott, now that is a long tall drink of water, his voice is unforgettable. He is extremely a hot sexy man with a moustache and a cowboy hat. Roadhouse Tombstone, Buffalo Girls are just a few of that many movies he had a role. He's been lighting up the big screen since 1968.
Richard Dean Anderson, here is a hot sexy man who played the eldest brother of seven brothers. He was married to Hannah in seven brides for seven brothers, and how many of us females wished we were Hannah? You can count me among the millions! He is confident and just looks very nice. His attitude and style in MacGyver made him a hot sexy man in my mind, and in the minds of thousands of women around the United States.
Kevin Costner is very hot sexy man and I like many women around the United States find him sexy. He has beautiful eyes and a nice smile. He was hot in Water World, though a bit crass, but that was how his part was written. He was hot and sexy in Dances with Wolves and of course the Post Man.
John Travolta is also a hot sexy man, wrapped up in a cool dark exterior. He was sexy in the wings when he played Michael; he was also quite sexy dancing around in Saturday night Live. We cannot forget how cute he looked in Look who is talking with those dimples.
I have written my list to Santa for years now asking that he put these six hot sexy men under my tree but they are never there. Whom would you want under your Christmas tree or in your bed if it were only occupied by yourself?
