Army Staff Sgt. Matt Kiel was shot while on patrol in Iraq just six weeks after his wedding. Doctors said he would be on a ventilator for the rest of his life and would never again move his arms or legs — dashing his hopes of raising a family.
But within months of his injuries five years ago, Kiel was breathing on his own and had regained enough function in his left arm to operate a motorized wheelchair. Doctors said he and his wife, Tracy, could start a family through in vitro fertilization.

News Article
Canadian extreme femme-metal quartet Kittie is poised to release their new album In The Black on September 15th, and we've got some sweet morsels to dish up on what's inside and out... plus details about their upcoming tour, the latest single, and plenty more below the fold. So check it out, cats 'n' kittens...
This aggressively cool all-girl outfit has gone though some major shakeups since they first clawed their way into the male-dominated metal scene in 1999 with their impressive debut Spit. One year ago, co-founder siblings Morgan and Mercedes Lander lost their father David Lander (who was also their first manager) to a heart attack, and the band also had to sever ties with bassist Trish Doan, who had begun suffering from anorexia while working on their 2007 record Funeral for Yesterday. Bass duties have since been taken over by Ivy Vujic, formerly of In The Wake.
The band has leaped back onto the scene with a vengeance this year with the completion of In The Black, which features tracks like "Cut Throat," "Die My Darling," and "Sorrow I Know." The latter became a music video last month under the lens of veteran video director David Brodsky (who recently worked on the banned-from-MTV video for Burning Human's "Tormented Mind" and earlier filmed GWAR's notorious cover of Alice Cooper's "School's Out"). You can also listen to the new single "My Plague," which just posted to their official MySpace.
Also on the horizon is a new tour to promote In The Black – beginning next month and continuing through October – along with Soil, Akraea and Straight Lined Stitch. "A full length tour has been long overdue for us," reports Morgan Lander on the band's blog. "The In the Black tour promises to be heavy, vicious and uncompromising and we are excited to get back out there and do what we love to do best!"

About 40 percent of our water every year is pumped from the ground, some years it's more than that.
And the water basin provides the nearly 1.8 million residents of the Santa Clara County with more water than all the reservoirs combined, says Santa Clara Valley Water District Spokesman Marty Grimes.
"It's really our drought insurance policy," Grimes says.
The Santa Clara Valley Water District is celebrating Groundwater Awareness week, from March 11-17 and is holding tonight, March 14 from 4:00-8:00 p.m. at the district's headquarters: 5750 Almaden Expressway, San Jose.
The district manages 10 dams and surface water reservoirs, three water treatment plants, a state-of-the-art water quality laboratory, nearly 400 acres of groundwater recharge ponds and more than 275 miles of streams.
And Campbell plays a part in keeping that groundwater clean and ready to drink.
The in Campbell at , , Sunnyoaks and Budd all help filter both surface and ground water back into the water basin.
The reason there are so many recharge or "percolation" ponds in Campbell is due in part to its location within the county as well as its gravel-like soil. Campbell is part of the West Valley Watershed, which spans 85-square-miles.
"Because in old times the Los Gatos Creek bed was much wider, the flood plane was much wider the gravely soil found in the area makes for good soil for percolation," Grimes says. "Campbell is also close to the hillside instead of the middle of the valley, like San Jose."
One of the ways the district keeps the water basin useable is what Grimes calls a "conjunctive management system."
"A lot of people don't know that we are very fortunate to have a very useable water basin," he says. "Many cities do not and we are able to augment our ability to produce water for our residents through this as well as from the water we import from the (Sacramento-San Joaquin River) Delta."
When this imported water comes in, the district pumps it into Campbell's various recharge ponds to percolate it down to the water basin.
"It serves as a great source of water during dry years," Grimes says. "The purpose of groundwater awareness week is to build awareness to that fact."
The open house tonight will offer the community a chance to learn more about the importance of groundwater, water delivery, water treatment, water conservation, water supply, dam safety, flood protection and environmental stewardship.
The event is open to the public and is children friendly, with tours of the Los Alamitos percolation pond and Guadalupe River fish ladder as well as water magic and short demonstrations but children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Light refreshments will be available. Parking is free and electric vehicle charge stations will be available. Please RSVP at email@example.com or call 408-265-2607, ext. 2880.

New music from Steep Canyon Rangers this week on High Plains Morning
By Mike Fuller
Asheville, North Carolina's Steep Canyon Rangers stepped outside of their comfort zone on their new release 'Tell the Ones I Love'. They recorded in an unfamiliar studio (Levon Helm's barn in Woodstock, NY) with a new producer (Larry Campbell). The results are a stunning follow-up to their Grammy-winning 'Nobody Knows You'. We will listen to every track this week on High Plains Morning, Monday through Friday from 9am to noon.

A quiz at Ohio State University says Christians are dumber than atheists
According to a report by Campus Reform, an online quiz developed for the Psychology 1100 class at Ohio State University (OSU) states that Christians are dumber than atheists. Campus Reform is a conservative group that according to its website "exposes bias and abuse on the nation's college campuses."
The quiz posed this question:
Theo has an IQ of 100 and Aine has an IQ of 125. Which of the following statements do you expect to be true?
- Aine is an atheist, while Theo is a Christian.
- Aine earns less money than Theo.
- Theo is more liberal than Aine
- Theo is an atheist, while Aine is a Christian.
The correct answer was the first one: "Aine is an atheist, while Theo is a Christian." (more…)
Was Karl Marx and the rise of communism influenced by Satan?
In his book, Marx and Satan, Richard Wurmbrand (1909-2001) looked at the writings of Karl Marx (1818-1883), the founder of communism.
Unknown to many, Karl Marx started out as a Christian. Wurmbrand notes those Christian inclinations in some of Marx's earliest writings such as The Union of the Faithful with Christ where the father of Communism wrote:
"Through love of Christ we turn our hearts at the same time toward our brethren who are inwardly bound to us and for whom he gave himself in sacrifice."
Those words are in stark contrast to what Marx would later write as he developed his communistic manifesto, he told the world:
"The idea of God is the keynote of a perverted civilization. It must be destroyed."
Though we are uncertain when it happened and why it happened, at some point Karl Marx abandoned his Christian faith. (more…)
Did finding soft tissue in a dinosaur fossil result in a scientist's firing?
UPDATED: Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) has announced it is taking on the case of Mark Armitage, a scientist and professor at California State University Northridge (CSUN), who PJI alleges was fired for his religious beliefs. Pacific Justice is a non-profit organization dedicated to defending liberty and religious freedom.
According to its news release, Pacific Justice alleges that Mark was dismissed from CSUN because he published an article in February 2013 in a peer-reviewed scientific journal showing dinosaur bones contained non-fossilized organic material. The finding indirectly called into question claims by evolutionists that dinosaurs are millions of years old.
Mark was part of dig at the Hell Creek formation in Montana when he discovered what is considered the largest triceratops horn ever found at this dig. The triceratops was a massive animal that according to evolutionists existed 60 million years ago. With features like a modern rhino, it had a massive head with three horns and a large frill.
Mark was using a high-powered electron microscope to study the fossil, when he discovered soft tissue inside the horn. His findings shocked those in the scientific community. (more…)
Canada's tallest man to play Goliath in upcoming movie
Canadian Jerry Sokolosky stands 7′ 8″ tall. He has recently been chosen by director Tim Chey to play Goliath in a movie about King David. The $50 million movie is scheduled for release in 2015.
The director said he was delighted to find Sokolosky because he didn't want to use a computer generated image (CGI) to portray Goliath. CGI was used in the movie "The Incredible Hulk." Chey says they will use CGI to portray David's fight with the bear and the lion.
Though Goliath was 9′ tall, Chey believes Sokolosky will more than fill the role of Goliath, giving the ancient giant a realistic appearance. (more…)
Does God really want us to use Marijuana?
A Oklahoma politician is using a strange argument in her attempt to have Marijuana legalized in that state. According to KFOR.com, Senator Constance Johnson quoted the Bible when she along with attorney David Slane announced a petition drive pushing for pot legalization in the birth place of such stars as Will Rogers, Chuck Norris and Ron Howard.
Citing Genesis 1:29, Johnson said that Marijuana was among a group of herbs God created for people to use.
And God said, 'See I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seeds, to you it shall be for food." (Genesis 1:29 NASV)
She said:
"We're putting forth Genesis 1:29 as the basis of this campaign. God created this wonderful, miraculous plant and we know that it has been vilified for the last 100 years, and it's time to change that in Oklahoma."
Is God protecting Israel by changing the direction of Hamas' missiles? The terrorists think so!
As Hamas continues to rain thousands of rockets and missiles on Israel, people are stunned by the lack of damage that is occurring. A number of reasons are being thrown out. Israel has developed its Iron Dome that is intercepting rockets and destroying them before they land. But it is not stopping all of them.
Israel estimates it intercepts between 30% to 40% of Hamas' missiles. Many are still getting through, but so far have inflicted minimal damage.
The Hamas strategy has been relatively simple — throw enough rockets into the air and eventually one is going to cause massive damage. That moral victory will be trumpeted around the Middle East. Targets of their barrage have included a nuclear power plant, airports and city suburbs.
According to reports, even the Hamas is starting to notice how ineffective their missiles have been and they blame Jehovah. (more…)
Life lessons from a marshmallow
Esau and Jacob were the fraternal twin sons of Isaac and Rebekah. Esau, who was firstborn, was destined to receive the firstborn inheritance which amounted to twice that of the other children. So Esau would receive two thirds of the family inheritance and Jacob only a third.
However, as a young man Esau traded away his double-portion inheritance for a mess of pottage. After a day in the field, Esau came back to the camp starving. Jacob was making a stew. When Esau asked Jacob for some stew, Jacob only agreed if Esau traded away his double-portion inheritance to Jacob.
32 Esau said, "Behold, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?" 33 And Jacob said, "First swear to me"; so he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. … Thus Esau despised his birthright. (Genesis 25:32-34 NASV)
Esau was not willing to delay the instant gratification of a mess of pottage. The Bible says because of his lack of self-control, Esau despised his inheritance. Esau's children would form Edom (Genesis 25:30) and become a bitter enemy of Isaac's children — Israel.
David Brooks in his article, What Marshmallows can teach us about life, writes about the work of researcher Walter Mischel who studied the importance of self-control. (more…)

John asks: With all the talk of the Phillies trading people like Cliff Lee at the deadline, do you think the Yankees would be interested? Right now next year's rotation is CC Sabathia and every one else is a question mark.
I think that depends entirely on whether the team tries to go through with the plan to get under the $189M luxury tax limit in 2014 in beyond. If they want to give it a shot, forget about Lee. If they scrap the whole plan — as has been rumored already — then yeah, I do think they would be interested. Brian Cashman & Co. seem to be enamored with the lefty, first trying to trade for him then trying to sign him as a free agent.
Lee, 34, is not the same pitcher he was a few years ago, but he's still outstanding. Easily one of the top 15-20 starters in the game. His strikeout (7.25 K/9 and 20.1 K%) and ground ball (39.3%) rates have both been trending downward since he rejoined the Phillies, though he still doesn't walk anyone (1.27 BB/9 and 3.5 BB%). Lee will earn $25M this year and in each of the next two years, plus his $27.5M vesting option for 2016 includes a $12.5M (!) buyout. Since we're roughly one-fifth of the way through this year, that's approximately $82.5M left on his contract if the option doesn't vest.
If the Phillies eat say, $20-30M of that $82.5M, I think it would take a three- or four-player package to acquire Lee, and at least two of those players would have to be studs. He may be expensive, but he's also really good. You won't get him for free just because. Would Gary Sanchez, Mason Williams, Brett Marshall, and a fourth guy be enough? Maybe. Would I do it? Sure, especially if the Yankees plan on scrapping the 2014 payroll plan. The upgrade from Ivan Nova/David Phelps to Lee is legitimately four or five wins over a full season, and that's the difference between baseball and golf and October given the rest of the AL East.
Mike asks: What would it take to acquire Nick Hundley? Seems to be Joe Girardi type of catcher, someone who does everything okay but nothing great.
I'm not sure if the Girardi comparison is accurate, but Hundley is a solid all-around catcher. He's rebounded well this year (109 wRC+) after hitting miserably a year ago (29 wRC+), and he's been close to a league average hitter overall (95 wRC+) since getting the job full-time in 2009. His defensive reputation is strong and he's thrown out close to 32% of attempted base-stealers the last three years.
Hundley, 29, is under contract for just $7M between this year and next, which works out pretty well for the Yankees. Yasmani Grandal is the catcher of the future in San Diego, which could land Hundley on the trade block. Interestingly enough, Hundley recently called out Grandal — "You want to talk about a guy who is unproven and had a good couple months on steroids, go ahead," he said — which is kind of a jerk thing to do. Quality catchers are very hard to find, so two quality (but not elite) prospects seems like a reasonable asking price. Marshall and Ramon Flores for Hundley? I'd think hard about it.
Andrew asks: Can I get a scouting report (and your personal opinion) on Rob Refsnyder? The kid is absolutely mashing, and it's been long enough this season to call it more than a fluke.
The Yankees gave Refsnyder a little less than $206k as their fifth round pick last summer, and all he's done this year is mash. I'm talking .391/.490/.523 (~184 wRC+) in 153 plate appearances between Low-A Charleston and High-A Tampa prior to last night's game. Here's a snippet of what Baseball America (subs. req'd) had to say before the draft:
Scouts like his bat and think he could be an average hitter. He's always hitting — he holds his high school record for the highest career batting average and is a career .341 hitter over his three years with the Wildcats. The problem scouts have is that Refsnyder just doesn't profile as a corner outfielder in pro ball because he has a flat swing that's geared more for doubles than home runs. He's an average runner with an average arm, so scouts who like the bat are interested in getting Refsnyder to move back to second base, a position he played in high school.
After playing the outfield during his pro debut last year, Refsnyder has played second base this year and he's very much a work in progress at the position. He committed 12 errors in 29 games prior to last night, and although errors are hardly the best way to measure defensive competence, it's an indication he's a little rough around the edges. That's not surprising, he didn't play the position at all in college. He'll need some time to adjust.
I see Refsnyder as a (very) rich man's Mitch Hilligoss. He can hit and he knows what he's doing at the plate, but he doesn't offer a ton of power and doesn't have a set position. Maybe that means he winds up a very good utility man who can play second, third, and both corner outfield spots, who knows. Obviously they should give him to time to work on things at second. Refsnyder is mashing so far, but he also came from a big-time college program and should mash Single-A pitchers. I'll get more excited about the performance if he maintains it at the Double-A level. His season to date has been very exciting though.

I'd pass on Lee. Too many prospects to give up and costs too much money. Hughes is pitching his heart out right now. Phelps gave us a good performance in Colorado. Kuroda, Andy and CC will be fine.
I'd also pass on Nick Hundley. We don't need an upgrade at C with Cervelli due back in a month.
This ballclub is in first place and reinforcements will start trickling in after the road trip. Why is everyone so quick to trade the farm for replacements? They complain about the lack of prospects and then want to trade them away on a whim. I just don't understand it.
I would take on Lee specifically of Hughes– its going to cost $15mm a year for Hughes for 4-5 years once he hits FA, so the difference for the few years while Lee is still under contract is ~ 10mm a year, and its clear Lee is more than worth the difference.
Worse yet, if the Yanks don't persue Hughes, they will likely have 2 or 3 issues in their rotation next year ( Andy, Kuroda, Hughes) and will certainly have to overpay to fill one or two of those slots – even if Pineda comes back.
Also, if the Yanks don't disrupt the big-league roster, it will certainly add to their momentum for this year as well.
Something to seriously consider if the $189 goes south.
While I understand why you state "Hughes will cost $15mm a year," I somewhat disagree. He's been inconsistent and we're going through a good stretch with him now. I don't know yet how to peg his value in this coming offseason, considering the free agent pitching options seems to get worse by the day. Based on that alone, Hughes is likely a little more valuable than he was at the start of the season. I could see him getting a 3 year deal for $12mm per year. I don't see the Yanks resigning him, however. Although he is keeping the ball in the park more often, he is a fly ball pitcher and I just don't know long term, if his stuff really translates all that well at Yankee Stadium. The Yanks have 3 options with Hughes. He continues to pitch very well into June and they trade him (which seems the least likely if they continue winning). With his value getting better, the Yanks might be able to net a nice prospect in return from a contending team. 2) they make him a qualifying offer. I wouldn't be opposed to them doing this. If he accepts, which I don't think he will have too, they get a good pick in next years draft. 3) They resign him. My feeling is that Hughes isn't playing on the Yanks next season, but we'll see.
In terms of rotation, I agree, it's going to be interesting next year. They have CC and that's really it as of now. We'd all like to think Pineda might be an option to fill the 3/4 spot. Maybe Andy or Kuroda give it one more go around, but we can't plan on that. I don't think Nova is a real option. Phelps or Warren could take the back spot. Basically what the Yanks need is another ace caliber pitcher; a #2 who could be a #1. That's not Hughes. Lee is that guy, but my feeling is that ship has sailed. I don't see him coming here in a trade, plus the cost, both in dollars and talent will be too great for the Yanks.
Hughes will likely be the best free agent pitcher on the market this coming offseason, assuming he doesn't crater this year. The game is so flush with cash that he'll get $15M whether he deserves it or not.
I would assume the Yankees make a play on Hughes if he comes at a team friendly price (which would be less than the aforementioned $12M per, IMO).
However, Cliff Lee (if Philly eats the $30M) is not a bad play at $52.5M for 2.5 seasons. not GREAT, but not bad.
Does Cliff Lee have a NTC though? You just assume that most all contracts at that price have some sort of protection for the player.
I would bet a significant part of my paycheck that he would not waive the NTC, considering his choice to not come play here before and the infamous "wife getting hit by batteries in the stands" story of 2009.
He's got a no-trade to the 20 some odd teams that he identifies prior to each season.
Barring injury or meltdown, there is a zero percent chance Hughes signs for 3/36. The Sanchez 5/80 MM deal seems like a decent baseline.
I've been thinking the Edwin Jackson 4/48 deal myself. Not sure if that would get it done, but I'd sign Hughes to that.
If they're scrapping the austerity plan, then I'd do that in a heartbeat. This is a very, very weak FA pitcher class, as long as Hughes eats innings at a league average rate he is going to get paid big time.
Agree on passing on Lee. The Yankee's obsession with him reminds me of Randy Johnson. We'll get him far too long into his career.
"Why is everyone so quick to trade the farm for replacements?"
I'm not supporting any of these moves necessarily, but being in first place on May 10 does not mean the team shouldn't get looking for upgrades. And very nice start to the season aside, there are a lot of players on the current roster that can be upgraded.
Reply fail to Eddard.
EddardWorld deflector shields were up.
Yes on Hundley. I like Flores, but not all the OF prospects are going to remain in the system. I'm not a huge Marshall believer, but you never know. Perhaps I'd be more enthused with a lesser package, but I'd see myself pulling the trigger on that deal and giving the team a better bridge to Gary.
Cervelli isn't due back in a month, Eddard, unless it's to one of your weird Nuney/Big Game Phelpsy parties.
I'd say no to Lee, believe it or not. Seems like too big a package for a team that's going to have to do some retooling from within, celery cap or not. I'm also not sold that he's going to continue offering the value Mike is pointing out.
Instead of a poor man's Mitch Hilligoss, how about a modern-day Tony Phillips?
I think Hundley would be a great match as a bridge to Sanchez, and I think we should look into resigning Hughes before he prices himself out of our range.
I'd co-sign on that.
Me too
I'd co-sign that idea too, but a Hughes contract would probably be a steep investment for me to take on right now given my student loan debt.
/finance jokes, funny because they're sad!
I still owe 20K, and I've been out of school thirteen years!
Especially since at this point we know that a healthy Hughes is at worst a 4/5 pitcher in the AL East, and there's definitely value there if we can get him now rather than at the end of what could be his best year as a starter.
IMO waay too early to be "giving up" on Flores. He's still only 21 and if he develops some power he will be a very, very exciting prospect. I'd trade him as part of a package for a young cornerstone type player but def not a salary dump like Lee or a marginal upgrade like Hundley.
I like Flores as much as the next guy, but Mike had him 5th on his list and he's higher on him than anyone. If you're not willing to trade your 5th best prospect for anything but a "young cornerstone player", you're overvaluing your prospects.
what about Dan Fiorito hes a ss in high A thats hitting 380. i know its only 50 at bats but it would be nice if he got a call up to AA midseason on got on the radar alittle. then again he could fall off a cliff in the next week so i guess we wait and see, but does anyone know anything about him?
I think we've heard already what we're going to here. Undrafter guy out of Manhattanville, etc.
He's a good story and certainly very much worth rooting for. Seems like a guy with the odds against him, but much stranger things happen in baseball every year.
"going to hear."
Here's more infomation on Fiorito: http://baseballnewshound.com/?p=3558
Definitely more a human interest story than a scouting report.
fwiw, Hundley graded out very poorly in the Mike Fast framing study. He doesn't seem to fit with the Yankees current priorities in catching. My guess is unless Cervelli has a setback that would keep him out longer that expected, or Stewart gets hurt, the Yankees might just stand pat with the catching situation. Maybe they look for a temporary, low cost of acquisition, back up type if they are going to just bury Romine on the bench, so that he can get regular PT in AAA.
not to mention he hit 29 wrc+ last year, and after starting the year hot, he's something like 1 for his last 25.
I think the Yankees can and will make the playoffs without Cliff Lee….as their rotation and pen are pretty good now. Lee wouldn't guarantee them a title either so I'm not dealing the the best two prospects in the system to add an expensive pitcher in his 30′s. That's a short sighted plan IMO…..if I knew they'd win the 2013 WS by doing it then fine….but there are no guarantees in baseball.
There are no guarantees in baseball, therefore, never do anything.
No to trading half the farm for Lee, who will soon follow Halladay to the rusted out old hurler's scrap heap. Probably one– at best two years – left as his decline acclerates. I'd sooner re-up Kuroda and/or Pettitte and keep the young hitters. Otherwise, we'll be mulling more four-for-one deals for offense very soon.
I think most people would prefer 1-year deals with Kuroda and Pettitte to a multi-year contract with Lee, but they have to want to come back first.
I would rather NY pursue McCann, with Gattis playing well and Bethancourt in the pipeline Atlanta might listen if the price is right. Or NY could wait until McCann becomes a FA after this season.
If Refsnyder has gap power and he can hit 30-40 doubles a season and hit over .300, he´d fit into the 2 hole just fine.
I don't think the Braves will trade McCann….they are a legit title contender this year. As a FA though I would certainly have interest….he'd be awesome in YS.
My moneyt is on McCann being a target both in July and December.
I think it depends on what Gattis does. I think they're trying to work him into the OF situation while Heyward is on the DL to keep his bat in the lineup, and if he's still hitting in July, maybe the Braves do market McCann.
I'm not sure they see Gattis as an every day guy behind the plate…if they have title aspirations for this year then they probably need McCann to do it so I just can't see them trading him.
Yeah, I can't see them trading McCann if they are a playoff bound team (which it def looks like they are).
Gattis might take over full time next year.
McCann as a Yank would be good, given that they could DH him some days and have Cervy/Romine catch the other days. Almost have a McCann/Alex/Jeter DH rotation.
I don't think i'd give up two top prospects for Lee. I wouldn't be opposed to adding an extra arm, but i don't think their need for a top starting pitcher is that great. If they're going to move a couple top prospects, i'd rather see it for a position player.
Lee has clearly and notoriously shown that he doesn't want to be a Yankee. Doesn't that count for something? That ship sailed a LONG time ago.
In looking at resigning Phil in lieu of thsi Lee idea, you have to look at that it is almost a perfect storm for Hughes going into free agency with his age and recent performance – compare him to last year's mid range starter contracts – Edwin Jackson who got 4 years at $52 million and Anibal Sanchez who got 5 years at $80 million – both were older than the 27.5 years old Phil will be in December 2013.
Many of big FA pitchers all have issues – Josh Johnson, Halladay, and Garza with injuries and Tim Hudson, Haren, Burnett have a lot of mileage on them – in addition, Garza, Hammel, Maholm, Santana may intrigue teams but they are all older (early 30′s) than Phil.
Also Phil has 2 problems which may be seen as correctable by a new teams – getting him to refine cutter or whatever pitch so he can get some early outs and keep his pitch count down and more importantly he could move to the bigger ball parks in NL West to decrease his homer percentage.
I don't see Phil making less than $14-$15 million a year for 4 or 5 years.I also don't see Yanks paying that with the $189 mm mandate. If they punt that goal, then it is a possibility but I still am not sure Yanks will want to go that high.
I may have missed it but I have never seen a beat reporter question Phil about his impending free agency this year (I saw Swisher questioned last year and Cano this year). In any case, I don't see any reason he would offer the Yanks any type of hometown discount.
We will have to probably sign a short one or two year contract with somebody (Haren, Maholm?) to try to be a #3 – not sure where we are getting a #2 next year unless Kuroda miraculously extends another year.
I'm not sure why you're looking at Jackson and Sanchez as comparables – they're clearly better than Hughes in the 4 years previous to FA. The difference is pretty substantial according to fwar and that's discounting that they were healthier than Phranchise prior to their FA. If you want better comparisons in terms of performance prior to hitting FA you'd have to look at Nolasco and from this past year Guthrie. Even adjusting for inflation w/respect to how much teams are paying and the poor market this year you'd really have to be betting on the age/entering prime factor to get Hughes in the ranges you're mentioning.
The injuries to the big names in this year's market is probably a boon to the yankees – potential pillow contracts mixed in w/promotions are probably the way to go if they want to get to 189.
I would have to say that refsnyder sounds a lot like Jeff kepinger to me, and judging by the Yankees history of trying to acquire him the comp is probably no coincidence. Pure opinion though
1) Cliff Lee has become this decade's Randy Johnson. We are just dying to add him, that we'll trade top prospects for his 34-year old, very expensive self. He could've signed here, didn't. We've tried to trade for him, couldn't. Maybe it's a sign that we should move on from this fantasy/nightmare waiting to happen.
2) Not a fan of trading FOR a catcher, when organizationally that is our position of strength. It would be one thing to trade a younger catcher for Hundley, but then why would San Diego do that, given they have catching prospects too?
3) Refsnyder is a contact hitter who is getting back in the groove of second base. Can't get too down about the errors at this point. It's harder to go from OF to IF than the other way around. The bat does intrigue me. Obviously we are years away from this, but it would make sense to start grooming a 2B in A and AA now. Cano, even if he re-signs, won't be a 2B forever. Eventually he will move to a corner IF spot (as Tiex and Alex's contracts expire when Cano's prime years end). Having a decent glove who can hit for a strong average (and maybe develop some power) would be great.
Trade Sanchez,Williams plus to pay $20 mil a year for 3-4 years of Lee's decline phase? Somebody call a priest, Mike's possessed by the ghost of George Steinbrenner!

THE LEADING MEN: Pop Star Nick Jonas Returns to Theatre Roots for Broadway's How to Succeed
By Brandon Voss
Teen heartthrob Nick Jonas is preparing to star as the new Finch in Broadway's How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, but he's no Broadway novice. He talked to Playbill in between rehearsals.
Beginning Jan. 24, pop star Nick Jonas, 19, will join the cast of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, but loyal fans and longtime theatregoers know that Broadway musicals are old hat for the youngest member of the Jonas Brothers. Shortly after his Main Stem debut as Little Jake in Annie Get Your Gun in 2001, he played Chip in Beauty and the Beast and Gavroche in Les Misérables. Currently scheduled to star as How to Succeed's wily window washer J. Pierrepont Finch through July 1 opposite new cast additions Beau Bridges and Michael Urie, the former Disney Channel denizen explains how to succeed in show business — with or without reaching puberty.
Although How to Succeed is your fourth Broadway outing, it's your first since you've become an international pop star. Does it feel different this time around?
Aside from your work with the Jonas Brothers, you also front the band Nick Jonas and the Administration. Will it be difficult to put your music on the back burner for the next six months?
Finch is characterized by his ambition, to which you can probably relate as a performer who has worked steadily since childhood.
What else have you discovered about Finch in rehearsals?
Have you spoken to Daniel Radcliffe, who created the role of Finch in this revival?
At 21, Radcliffe came under some criticism for perhaps being too young for the role. Meanwhile, you're only 19.
Radcliffe's immediate replacement, "Glee" star Darren Criss, plays Finch through Jan. 22. Have you checked in with him?
During these final two weeks of rehearsals, what do you see as your biggest challenge or obstacle?
Has this crunch-time rehearsal period been all work and no play?
In addition to rehearsals, have you been attending any performances?
The stage door scene was sheer madness for Radcliffe and it continues to be crazy for Criss at the Hirschfeld Theatre. Are you prepared for that fan frenzy after every performance?
Tell me about working with director-choreographer Rob Ashford.
You'll perform opposite Beau Bridges and Michael Urie as boss J.B. Biggley and rival Bud Frump, respectively. Has it been easy to build chemistry with them in rehearsals?
Are you an "Ugly Betty" fan?
As a replacement, how do you seamlessly slip into a long-running musical while still making the character your own?
What was your earliest exposure to live theatre?
But your first Broadway credit was Little Jake in Annie Get Your Gun.
When you did Annie Get Your Gun at the age of 8, were you old enough to appreciate what it meant to be on Broadway?
After Annie Get Your Gun and before you began focusing on your recording career, you played Chip in Beauty and the Beast in 2002 and Gavroche in the final cast of Les Misérables in 2003.
Prior to playing Link Larkin in last summer's Hollywood Bowl production of Hairspray, your first foray back into theatre as an established musician was as Marius in West End's Les Misérables in 2010. What made you return to your roots?
Once you were open to more theatre opportunities, how did How to Succeed come about for you?
Did you have any hesitations about accepting the role of Finch?
Which theatre roles would you like to tackle next?
Back to the subject of art imitating life, you recently shot a guest spot for NBC's "Smash" as Lyle West, a former Broadway child star who has achieved mainstream stardom as a young adult. More importantly, did you get to meet fellow guest star Bernadette Peters?

PRETORIA, South Africa — Prosecutors on Wednesday unveiled what seemed damning testimony against Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius, who is accused of murdering his girlfriend. But as the day wore on, the defense savaged the state's case, portraying the investigation as bumbling and shoddy.
Laying out what is likely to be the basis of their case, prosecutors said at Pistorius' bail hearing that a witness heard what sounded like a quarrel shortly before model Reeva Steenkamp was fatally shot the night of Feb. 13. Another neighbor heard a shot, a woman's scream, then more gunshots, they said.

There's always going to be something fascinating when it comes to Tim Burton, whether he's building new worlds or reviving old ones. In his upcoming stop-motion animation film Frankenweenie, Burton does both. Based on a short he created at the beginning of his career, the eccentric writer/director pays homage to the classic horror story Frankenstein, while bringing the black and white horror riff to new life (pun wildly intended.) With Frankenweenie, Burton creates is also creating a strange, but wonderful new reality where children can reunite with long lost pets.
We got a chance to check out the interactive Frankenweenie exhibit at this year's San Diego Comic-Con which featured some classically spooky, yet sweet Burtonesque artwork that the anticipated film will have in store for moviegoers. Sit, heel, stay, check out what we saw from Frankenweenie at Comic-Con and on the set of the movie. Frankenweenie comes to life in theaters on October 5.

Every year, the Academy Awards and its voters honor screenwriters old and new by handing out the statue for the Best Original Screenplay, often while employing a lackluster script of its own. While it remains to be seen what kind of material host Ellen DeGeneres will be given, you can bet than the stage direction This is the part where you dance will show up more than a few times. Probably in between jokes about Christian Bales gut, or his beard, or his hair.
This Week In Home Entertainment: Blue Jasmine, Machete Kills And More
If you were to have (or do have) a stack of Woody Allen films in your home and you were about to watch one with a group of friends, Blue Jasmine would not be at the top of the pile. In fact, it probably would be at or very near the body of the pile. Not because it lacks humor. Not because it lacks a decent cast or a well-written script. Blue Jasmine is a fine movie, with all of the necessary elements to earn it a few Oscar nods. Its also an uncomfortable one.
2014 SAG Awards Movie Winners, Read The Full List Here
The Screen Actors Guild held their annual award ceremony this evening, and long story short, the voting members really didnt favor one specific film. In fact, the only movie that took home multiple awards was Dallas Buyers Club. Both lead and supporting actors Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto were honored by their peers, though that love didnt carry over to the overall film honors, which went to American Hustle.
American Hustle And Wolf Of Wall Street Snag Writers Guild Nominations
In the narrative categories, few of these nominees can be called surprising as just about all of the above have received critical praise and Oscar buzz. The dark horse contender in the mix is Peter Berg's Lone Survivor, which has had a soft open over Christmas and will expand next week.
Producers Guild Goes With Gravity, American Hustle And Wolf Of Wall Street
The PGA nominees serve a dual purpose, as Oscar trackers view them as indicators of which films have momentum heading into the Academy Award nominations, which will be announced Jan. 16.
Blue Jasmine And Captain Phillips Returning To Theaters For Oscar Season
Blue Jasmine will reopen this weekend in 300 theaters across the US, while Captain Phillips's rerelease will begin on January 15th, 2014, in 1,000 theaters. Notably that means the Tom Hanks vehicle will touch down the day before the Academy Award nominations are to be announced.
12 Years A Slave And Nebraska Pull In Big Independent Spirit Award Nominations
Presented by Film Independent, the Spirit Awards typically honor the smaller-budget artistic endeavors that harbor Oscar hopes but (depending on whom you believe) dont possess the proper awards budget to actively campaign for the golden statue.
Can You Guess What Quentin Tarantino's Top 10 Films Of The Year Are So Far?
The Quentin Tarantino Archives has released a list of the esteemed directors favorite films of the year so far. Personally, I was surprised by several of his picks, so I thought Id test the rest of you to see if from the twenty films listed you can figure out which titles are really on his top ten.
Weekend Box Office: The Butler Still Number One; The Mortal Instruments and You're Next Fizzle
Despite several new releases in theaters, this weekend's top sales went to last week's number one, Lee Daniels' The Butler. None of the newcomers could break into the second place spot either, leaving that honor to last weekend's number two We're The Millers.
Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine Reveals Plot Details And New Stills
Though the film is partly set in the New York, Allen's most familiar setting, the bulk of the narrative will take place in San Francisco, where quasi-socialite Jasmine (Blanchett) is forced to take shelter with her sister Ginger (Sally Hawkins) after her marriage with Alec Baldwins Wall Street financier implodes.
Cate Blanchett Is Ready To Unravel In First Trailer For Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine
Both written and directed by Allen, the new film centers on Jasmine (Blanchett), a woman who has become used to the finer things in life thanks to her wealthy husband (Alec Baldwin). But when everything falls apart and Jasmine begins to have a nervous breakdown, she moves out to San Francisco where she can stay with her sister Ginger (Hawkins).
Cate Blanchett Is All Alone In New Poster For Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine
Very little is known about the plot of Blue Jasmineat this time, though it's been said that the film chronicles the mental crisis of a New York housewife. Making up for the lack of plot details, however, is the fact that the film has a noteworthy, incredible ensemble.
Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine Shows Off A Moody Cate Blanchett In First Image
Admittedly, Blanchett looks like shes had better days in wartime, but the casual way Sally Hawkins is just hanging around in the background means there probably isnt anything like a fist fight or an alien invasion going on in the foreground.
Linklater's Before Midnight, Allen's Blue Jasmine, And Almodovar's I'm So Excited Get Release Dates
The good news is that three of the best filmmakers working today, including Woody Allen, Pedro Almodovar, and Richard Linklater, have all just gotten 2013 release dates for their respective latest films. The bad news is that if you don't live in one of two major hubs on the coast of the United States you may still have to wait a little longer to see the directors' most recent works.

The Financial Rise Of Women & Wives: Is This The One Silver Lining of The Economic Downturn?
· Rise of The She-Conomy: The "He-Session" (8 out of 10 jobs lost by men) has given rise to the "She-Economy (in the summer of 2010 the number of women in the paid workforce eclipsed the number of men for the first time ever)
· Women Bringing Home More Bacon: The result is women & wives bringing home more of the bacon (In 2011 The White House released it's "Women in America" report - first comprehensive look in 50 years). Women bring home 29% of total household income. 27% of women earn more than husbands. 57% of couples are dual income households.
· Makes Pay In-equality Everyone's Issue: Women are still earning only $0.77 on the male dollar. Now that women's incomes mean so much for families this makes the issue a family issue. Root causes are: (a) types of jobs women choose, (b) women not asking for raises, (c) women doing more work at home than men - exhaustion, (d) women spending an average of 11 more years out of the paid workforce than men.
Three Savings Myths - Busted!: The National Savings Rate is Going Up... But Are People Still Telling Tall Tales?
· I'll save more when I make more: I've seen people save on incomes of $30,000 a year and not have 2 nickels to rub together on incomes of $300,000 a year. It's about a mindset. It's also not true that it will be easier to save when you make more because "lifestyle creep" kicks in.
· Starting a few years later won't make that big a difference: Starting to save just 2 years later for your retirement (say at age 30 vs age 28) can mean you have 20% less money. If you start 20 years later you could have 80% less money! Small amounts can add up. Coinstar estimates Americans have $10 billion in loose change floating around.
· Saving is all about deprivation:Saving is about spending - just spending that you'll do down the road. Also, academic studies show it's experiences, not things that make us happiest after our basic needs are met.
Are Your On Financial Track? What Are The Financial Milestones to Hit by Decade?
· In Your 20s & 30s: Learn to live within your means & build a solid financial foundation
· In Your 40s & 50s: Avoid lifestyle creep & swinging for the (retirement) fences
· In Your 60s & 70s: Avoid over-nibbling on your nest egg & maintain your health
· In Your 80s & beyond: Live it up
Budgeting 101: What Does Healthy Spending Look Like?
· Most people have no idea: We have a food pyramid, so even though you may not eat healthily, you know roughly what you should be doing. But many people have no idea when it comes to what a healthy spending pyramid looks like.
· The 50/30/20 Rule: My favorite comes from Elizabeth Warren & her book ALL YOUR WORTH. 50% of your take-home pay goes to NEEDS, 30% of your take-home pay goes to WANTS, and 20% of your take-home pay is for SAVINGS. Follow that simple formula and you'll be in great shape.
· How to track your money: It's sounds boring but it works - do it like a diet dairy and write it all down and then at the end of the month do some basic math to see what your percentages are.
Dominate Your Debt: What Must People Know About Student Loan & Credit Card Debt?
· Student Loans: Collectively we have more in America in student loan debts than credit card debt. Even in bankruptcy these debts don't go away. Top 3 things to know: (1) If you are 90 days late they will go into collections and your financial life can spin out of control - harder to get job, apartment, car loan, insurance, etc... (2) Many students forget to update their address so lenders can't find them when grace period is over - simple fix for that, (3) If you have trouble talk to your lender about forbearance or deference.
· Credit Cards: Ridiculously expensive. Credit card act has helped but if you have it, best thing you can do is add an extra $50, $100 or $150 a months to your minimum payments (depending upon whether your debt is <$5,000, between $5,001 - $10,000, or > $10,001 respectively).
· Starting a few years later won't make that big a difference: Starting to save just 2 years later for your retirement (say at age 30 vs age 28) can mean you have 20% less money. If you start 20 years later you could have 80% less money! Small amounts can add up. Coinstar estimates Americans have $10 billion in loose change floating around.
· Debt is a Four Letter Word:Literally and figuratively. People are remembering this again now. But if you've purchased something with debt, you don't own that item. The lender does.

Mixed reviews for final full-scale scrimmage
Offense, defense, kicking game each have momentsAugust 18, 2007 · MT Media Relations
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee went through its second full-scale scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday inside Floyd Stadium in what was the Blue Raiders' final game-like simulation before the season opener on Sept. 1.
The Blue Raiders had a 90-play scrimmage before going to a six-play goal line scrimmage and finishing with a nine-play two-minute drill.
"The purpose of the scrimmage is to make it as game-like situations as possible and find out who are the guys we can take to Florida Atlantic and who can line up and play," said Stockstill. "We will grade the film hard, look at it, evaluate it and find out who did the best."
The first half of the scrimmage saw the defense dominate the offense by keeping them out of the endzone on 10 straight possessions. During that stretch, the defense collected seven tackles for loss and two sacks by freshman Antwan Davis and sophomore Chris McCoy.
"We got off to a good start on defense. We had momentum and we put together several stops in a row," said Damon Nickson, a senior safety. "The problem is we did not do as well toward the end and one of the things we pride ourselves on is finishing. It could have been a much better day for us if we had finished."
The offense got on the scoreboard when DeMarco McNair ran one in from 10 yards out and Matt King added the extra point. McNair carried the ball on the final three plays of the drive for 33 yards and finished the scrimmage with seven rushes for 68 yards.
"The play starts with the offensive line and if the line blocks effectively then we are able to run the football effectively," said McNair. "It was a little sluggish early but I thought the o-line stepped up and blocked well. Overall today was a good day. We can build on this."
The defense buckled down again to stop the offense's next three possessions with a sack by McCoy on one third down play and a tackle for loss by Wes Hofacker on another third down attempt.
The offense's last possession before intermission resulted in points when kicker David DeFatta nailed a 40-yard field goal. The highlight of the drive was a 21-yard completion from Salin Simpson to Rod Taylor.
"It was disappointing the way we started out offensively because we couldn't get a snap," Stockstill added. "I think maybe the first 20 plays or so we have 5 or 6 bad snaps and that kind of put a damper on the start of it. "We finally got some consistency there and started to move the ball a little better the second half of the scrimmage."
After the break, the offense started possessions on the defenses 30-yard line which helped them turn things around by scoring on six of seven possessions. King connected on a 27-yard field goal on the initial drive and DeFatta made a 29 yarder to end the next possession.
Freshman quarterback Dwight Dasher led the offense to a touchdown on the following drive and then it was quarterback Gene Delle Donne's turn. Delle Donne lofted a pass in the corner of the endzone to Michael Cannon who made a miraculous catch after the ball hit two different defenders.
The defense held on the next possession before Desmond Gee found paydirt on a five-yard run to put the offense back in the scoring column. The final possession of the scrimmage saw freshman Marquise Branton score on a 1-yard run.
Following a brief goal line situation, the Blue Raiders concluded the scrimmage with a two-minute drill. Under the direction of signal-caller Patrick Jackson, the Blue Raiders started at their own 35-yard line and advanced to the defenses 33-yard line before attempting a field goal. With three seconds remaining, King made good on a 50-yard attempt.
On the day, Blue Raider kickers made all four field goals and every extra point.
"We kicked well today," said Stockstill. "Yesterday and today was probably the best they have kicked since camp started. They were more consistent during the scrimmage."
Offensively, Delle Donne led all passers with 54 yards on a perfect 5-for-5 throwing while Dasher went 3-for-6 for 33 yards. Jackson was 5-for-11, while Simpson and Andrew Banks were both 2-for-3.
Cannon and Bobby Williams led all receivers with three receptions each while Gee, Tanner, and Branton added two catches.
Behind McNair in the rushing game was Tanner with 34 yards on 10 attempts and Gee with two carries for 18 yards. Branton added 16 yards.
The Blue Raiders will return to the practice field on Sunday before going through their final two-a-day practice on Monday.

moreBest known to a generation of Australian cricket fans as the incisive, and sometimes controversial, cricketing voice of the Sydney Morning Herald and ABC radio, Peter Roebuck's own career spanned 25 of the most exhilarating years of world cricket.
From the heyday of the Somerset cricket club to the controversy of the World Series and ten happy years with Devon, Roebuck played alongside some of the true greats of the world game. Viv Richards, Joel Garner, Ian Botham, Martin Crowe and a young Steve Waugh were all team-mates. Considered by some 'the best cricketer to have never played for England', he did in fact captain an English team which travelled to Holland. Their emphatic victory in the second Test was completely overshadowed by their shock defeat in the opening game!
A dedicated coach and mentor to young enthusiasts, Roebuck first came across some of Australia's current crop of cricket superstars as brash young novices at the Academy - Justin Langer, Adam Gilchrist, Ricky Ponting and a portly young man with the most dangerous spinning finger in the world, one Shane Warne.
In Sometimes I Forgot to Laugh<\i>, Peter Roebuck gives his readers an insight into the hitherto very private life of a complex and sometimes troubled man, but one always sustained by his abiding passion for the game of cricket.

As an art director, I've been creating everything from banner ads to television commercials with 360 degree campaign tie-ins. I've worked on a wide variety of brands and produced work seen in dozens of countries around the world. As a web designer and developer, I've been creating experiences online since I was 12 years old. I started a web design company at age 15, and I continue freelancing to this day.
Fueled by a passion for learning and doing things "the right way," I aim to deliver thoughtful and entertaining work that is on-brand, and doesn't lose sight of the strategy. This approach is influenced by a history of combining the creativity of web design with the problem solving inherent to programming & web development.
