RADIO: Trish Causey Hosts Pro-Choice Stand With Women CALL-IN Show
Thursday, I had a live call-in show to address the horrific misogyny happening in Texas, North Carolina, and around the country.
As the national spotlight shone on Wendy Davis and the women (and men!) of Texas standing up for women's reproductive rights, other states are systematically legislating our rights away, requiring ultrasounds and other invasive procedures that amount to legal rape — rape BY the legal and political system.
North Carolina snuck an anti-choice measure into a motorcycle safety bill, and it was passed.
Meanwhile, across the pond, even Ireland has begun to awaken to their misogynist theocracy by passing legislation to legalize abortion if the life of the woman is at stake.
Late last night, the Texas legislature voted in opposition to the thousands who protested their anti-choice bill, as well as their own constituents, 90% of whom did not want the bill to pass.

RADIO: Trish Causey Chats With Women's Rights' Activist Sunny Clifford
Last night's show was a quick one, but a good one. I talked with women's reproductive rights activist Sunny Clifford.
REPLAY: Trish Causey Chats With Women's Rights Activist Sunny Clifford
Being a Lakota from Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, Sunny is a staunch advocate for reproductive rights for indigenous women. Though she is very shy as a person, she is not shy about the lack of pro-choice options for indigenous women being a direct result of colonialism.
We also touched on the topic of what is happening in Texas with the anti-abortion bill before the state legislature, a bill that 80% of Texans oppose, but that the Repugs are trying to pass anyway. (More on that later!)
Sunny is also the subject of an upcoming PBS documentary, Young Lakota, and she was the recipient of the prestigious Emerging Leader Award by the Ms. Foundation.
Have a listen to the replay, and follow Sunny on Twitter: @SunnyClifford.

This Week on ArousedWoman Radio: American Indian Rights, Fascism, Meditation, Oh, My!
For those of you who follow my blog and now listen to my radio show, I just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU! for being patient with me while I get this show up and running. You are all AWESOME!
And yes…. I will eventually get back to actually writing here on the blog… quite possibly tomorrow! (I JUST realized I haven't done a DailyOJ post since the beginning of MARCH! ACK!!)
I have tried to pack lots of shows into the AW Radio schedule so you can see the wide range of topics that interest me and that I hope interest you. In less than three weeks, I've had 2,685 listeners tune in as I covered why American politics sucks, talked with a Broadway composer who's premiering his new LGBT work, interviewed a Broadway Tony winner on women archetypes in theatre, as well as interviewed a Kundalini master teacher, covered "Sex and the Voice" and "Porn vs. Erotica," along with tackling Male Sexuality and Female Sexuality, and sex…. (and did I mention, sex?… Oh… Just making sure. :-D )
This week on ArousedWoman Radio Tuesday through Saturday at 9:00 p.m. ET each night, the topics are just as diverse:
- Trish Causey Chats With Lakota Women's Rights' Activist Sunny Clifford
- Trish Causey Chats w/ Arlene Goldbard on Culture & Politics
- Trish Causey Discusses "When Fascism Comes to America"
- Trish Causey Hosts LIVE AskTrish on Benefits of Meditation
- Trish Causey On Female Sexual Anatomy – The Clitoris & Vulva
Listeners can call in to the show to ask a question or make a comment by dialing (347) 884-8792 (NOT toll-free), or by calling in via Skype using the BLUE SKYPE ICON on the LIVE show page. (Do NOT call me directly on Skype! :-) )
Before I started the radio show, the #1 question I got was, "What does your voice sound like?" Well, now you know!…. And now, the most common question I get is, "When are you doing another show?" THIS IS AWESOME! :-) I'm so glad people are looking forward to my shows.
But the real answer is this — I hope to have the radio show on a regular schedule of interview-type shows on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Fridays saved for AskTrish and Anatomy shows. Wednesdays have been tough for people to tune in to the live show, and doing shows on Fridays have been very popular. So I'm still tweaking the schedule. Doing 4 to 5 shows per week is a LOT of work, so I'm hoping to taper off to 3 shows per week starting in July.
So until then…. THANK YOU for listening AND reading!
If YOU have a person you'd like me to interview or a topic you'd like me to cover, please leave a comment at the end of this blog post.
To submit a question you'd like me to cover on an AskTrish show, submit your query via my AskTrish page on my website. Also, look through the AskTrish posts here on the blog to see if I've already covered it. If I have, feel free to write in anyway, so we can get you answered on an upcoming LIVE AskTrish radio show.
All replays are available on the website: ArousedWoman.com.
And on a side note, a few things:
- Please take my Orgasm Questionnaire ('cause I'm nosy that way!).
- Sign up for my newsletter because I'll start doing online workshops soon!
- If you like what I'm doing, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to keep the radio show going on my AW Radio crowdfunding page. I've posted some nifty Rewards, so take a look. As most of you know, I'm a single mom trying to Be the Change, and I know that sometimes even $5 is a lot of money. So I greatly appreciate every dollar that you donate to the show. EVERY bit helps! :-)
- AND I uploaded a test video onto YouTube. Check it out if you haven't seen it. (Yes, I know the resolution sucks… darn front-facing iPhone cam!)
Thank you! And I hope you'll tune in and call in to a LIVE ArousedWoman Radio show soon!

NEWS: Obama "Comfortable" With FDA Disregarding Judge's Ruling on Plan B
© 2013 by Trish Causey. All Rights Reserved.
Apparently, our centrist president doesn't want to rock the boat with a minor victory for women and girls at stake.
I wrote about the April verdict by Judge Korman in which Plan B would be required to be available on store shelves without a prescription or an I.D. check within 30 days of the ruling. The FDA made their own announcement that it would be available to girls over the age of 15 with proof of age (an I.D. check), then the Justice Department decided to stick its misogynist nose into the fray just to complicate matters.
After a push by the Obama administration, the FDA relented slightly, saying emergency contraception, a.k.a. the morning after pill, would be available on the store shelves, without a prescription, but only for females aged 15 and over (still requiring that I.D. check). President Obama said he was "comfortable" with that.
Which, I guess, is all that matters — that a a man can be "comfortable" with a male-dominated government deciding when and how women and girls can have rights to their bodies.
He also used the phrase "scientific evidence" a couple of times when referring to why Plan B should be available to teenage girls without a doc's script in an obvious play to knock out the religious objections to having the emergency birth control on the open shelves to be seen by god and everybody…. Why, hell's, bells, Scarlet! Look up that Jesus quote about birth control being evil…. oh wait…. Jesus never mentioned birth control, did he? …. Hmmmmm….
Obama — I voted for you twice, so don't allow this kind of bullshit to taint my opinion of your otherwise strong stance for women's rights.
I'm sure there will be more to update on this story as the misogyny continues.
NEWS: FDA's Emergency Contraception Plan for Plan B Contradicts Court Ruling
© 2013 by Trish Causey. All Rights Reserved.
The wonderful victory for all females in the United States to have access to emergency contraception without a prescription has been foiled by the evil charlatans at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Justice Department.
The Center for Reproductive Rights' (CRR) had filed a lawsuit against the FDA to require emergency birth control pills be available without restriction, an effort to remove the obstacle and perhaps shame of getting a prescription from a doctor. On April 5, 2013, U.S. District Court Judge Edward Korman ruled that the FDA must make emergency contraception, a.k.a. the morning after pill, available over the counter without an age-limit restriction within 30 days of the ruling.
Instead of complying with this basic right all women should have — and do have thanks to this ruling, the FDA announced it would make Plan B and Next Choice-type emergency contraception available over the counter to females aged 15 and up, in direct violation of the court's ruling. (The FDA says its decision was in no way affected by Korman's ruling.) The FDA has thrown in a requirement for the female buying the emergency contraception to provide proof of age for the purchase. As the CRR and other activists have noted, this may prove problematic since some states do not allow teenagers to get a driver's license until the age of 16, so 15 year old girls might have a difficult time proving their age.
Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch sent an appeal of Korman's ruling to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to suspend the ruling until further notice. The Obama administration subsequently announced it will appeal the Justice Department's appeal, if need be. So for now, the FDA's asinine proclamation of limiting Plan B et al will stand, complete with photo I.D. and age-requirement intact.
Time will tell if the original court ruling will win the day and allow all females to have access to emergency birth control without politics interfering with our individual right to body autonomy.

NEWS: Raising $$$ for ArousedWoman Radio & Forum!
This is a quick note to let everyone know that I am taking the bull by the horns and starting up the Radio show and Forum that I've been wanting to create for a while now.
So many people ask me if I do podcasts, and I have to tell them, yes, but not yet for AW. Well, that's changing!
While we dream of Utopia, running a radio show and hosting a forum is not free. It costs money for the licensed platforms even when the daily toil of maintaining each is based on sweat equity.
AW Radio will cover all aspects of the AW raison d'etre including Women's Sexuality, Women's Rights, LGBT, Survivors of Abuse, Religious Freedom, Indigenous Rights, Environmental Issues, Healthcare, Anti-Circumcision/Body Autonomy issues, and more.
The AW Forum will provide a safe place for like-minded individuals and orgs to talk about issues, recovery, and more importantly, foster solutions to put into practice. The Forum will be membership-based (to keep out the crazies) at $14.95/year, with a portion of the proceeds being donated annually to 2 organizations as voted on by the Forum community.
For more info on the Radio show as well as the Forum, visit my GoFundMe page I've started. Donations are securely processed by either WePay or PayPal (your choice!).
Be sure to check out the REWARD that accompanies each donation level, and make a TAX-DEDUCTIBLE donation if you can.
Thank you!
MyTweets & Comments 08-19-12: "You Want to Milk Your Rape for Sympathy"
While having a thought-provoking chat with a friend on Twitter, I got a bit of a shock out of nowhere. I'm not shocked easily. I wish I could say I'm not hurt easily, but even after all the crap I've been through in my life, my annoying humanity is still intact.
With the ridiculous comment from Rep. Todd Akin about "legitimate rape," all of Twitter was a-buzz with chatter on the subject of rape. Interestingly, the topic which had started out being on abortion had shifted dramatically to rape, and not surprisingly, society once again placing the blame and the shame of rape on the women — the rape victim.
Out of nowhere, this jerk, "Dan," buts into the civil convo I was having with my friend @sevenlayercake — though we differ in viewpoints, she and I can have amiable conversations. Whenever a Twitter interloper butts in, I check their bio. This guy was supposedly an "outspoken gay professional." As a loudmouth Scotch-Irisher and theatre pro, I can certainly handle this guy.
I posted the link to my recent article on my rape — something I have never, ever, ever, EVER told the details of to anyone alive or dead on this earth until I wrote this article on it a few days ago. Why? For the very reason, I didn't think anyone would believe me. And this jackwad says, "You want to milk your rape for sympathy."
If this guy is "gay," then he is the most fervently women-hatin' gay man I've ever met. Gay men usually dig women, just not sexually. Being in the theatre, it's not unusual for a gay man to ask me how I do my lipstick or to borrow my blouse.
So, below, is the conversation and yet another example of how the War on Women exists — and is apparently spreading to the gay men demographic, which I find to be very sad. :(
In my head, I hear the lyrics to Gloria Gaynor's anthem:
First, I was afraid, I was petrified…
I will survive
As long as I know how to love,
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive,
I will survive.
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
I spent, oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry but now I hold my head up high.
I will survive.

NEWS: Rep. Todd Akin Defines 'Legitimate Rape' for All of Us Pretend Rape Victims
Just when you think the Grand Ol' Party can't sink any lower in its blatant misogyny of women, women's rights, and their outlook on women's bodies, Rep. Todd Akin reveals a whole new abyss of as yet unexplored hatred of the female sex.
It wasn't long ago that men were the only ones on the House panel on birth control, that 31 Senators voted against the Violence Against Women Act, and the GOP in Michigan censored a female state representative, violating her First Amendment right to free speech. Now, the GOP creeps us out further.
In a TV interview, Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) had this to say about his views on abortion, even if conception is due to rape:
"From what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let's assume maybe that didn't work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist."
So Akin is now a medical expert as well as a judge-and-jury on "Legitimate Rape?" So all of us who have been raped now need to measure our own horrible experience with sexual abuse by his and the GOP's standard? A standard which has no medical basis? Because, according to Akin, every woman who has ever said she got pregnant from being raped was lying?!
The GOP RWNJ Republicans rape women on a daily basis! Oh, wait that's "Legislative Rape" as they are systematically removing laws and undoing decades of work women have literally fought and died for in the battle for equality. And that kind of rape of women, our rights, and our bodies is just hunky-dorey.
This is a blatant sign of the ensuing institutionalized brainwashing against women that we can expect if the GOP continues to buy its power via elections in the United States.
What's worse than our rape experiences being de-valued by the patriarchal, misogynist GOP is that this makes men look bad as well. The men who love women and support women's rights will be lumped into either the GOP misogynist corner or the corner of "all men" who are abusers.
By the way, Akin's thoughts on the morning-after pill are pretty clear as well:
"[T]he morning-after pill is a form of abortion, and I think we just shouldn't have abortion in this country."
Maybe we should not have misogyny in this country?! The elections this year are paramount to blocking the GOP's persistent #WarOnWomen!

MyTweets 08-04-12: My 'ArousedWoman' & Tweeting Philosophy
I started ArousedWoman in February-ish after the stupid crap that happened with Susan G. Komen/Planned Parenthood debacle, Rush Limbaugh's attack on Sandra Fluke, and the all-male birth control panel in Washington, D.C.
I am an ActivistArtist(TM). My original musicals all incorporate women's rights into their songs and stories, with the hope that once a person hears my music or sees one of my shows, they will be moved to examine their own feelings about women, equality, and tolerance. However, this year, 2012, is not a year to write something that will hopefully see the light of stage in 5 or 10 years, if then.
2012 is a year of action. "Arouse" means "to excite to action." I thought using "Aroused" was the perfect double entendre for my site and blog to inspire activism in all those armchairs activists who complain just to hear themselves talk but don't actually do anything to create change. Unfortunately, some of the people who follow me think I'm a porn chick and quickly unfollow. My favorite followers are the conservative Christians. I can only hope I can enlighten them on women bodies and our basic human rights to equality… before they unfollow me…
I do not consider myself a feminist, but rather a humanist. Little did I know back in February that I would spend hours each day on Twitter talking about female anatomy, female sexual response, how women's sexuality as just being female affects women's status in society, government, religion, culture, and the workplace… all the while trying to keep my Irish temper in check and stay level-headed when getting bombarded by some of the crazies who try to engage me in Twitter wars…
So I put up a disclaimer….
NEWS: The War on Women
With the current political climate in the United States, tensions are running higher than ever in the battle for women's rights. In fact, the GOP's consistent disregard for a woman's sovereignty over her own body has been dubbed the "War on Women."
In the world of social networking, the hashtagged terms #waronwomen and #wherearethewomen have hundreds of thousands of women following the Twitterverse updates on their phones as well as articles and editorials in the online blogosphere. This unity of women extends beyond the borders of the U.S., as women around the world are beginning to #occupy their bodies and the legislatures to end the #waronwomen and our bodies.
Whether the topic is birth control, pregnancy, body piercing, or genital mutilation, or forced sterilization, women must be in control of what happens to and in out bodies.
The Republicans in Congress are leading the charge against women. Congress has repealed the Violence Against Women Act, which changes the legal deifnition of rape. As if the the Susan G. Komen kerfuffle and the attempt to de-fund Planned Parenthood wasn't bad enough. Sandra Fluke became a household name when the all-male committee on the women's birth control panel had no women on its team and refused to hear Fluke's testimony.
And it's only April. Presidential elections aren't until November. This will be a long year, kids.
I recently posted the following as my status update on Facebook and Twitter:
Hey, #GOP! I'm ovulating. Would u like 2 come over 2 catch my egg b4 it's flushed down the toilet when I go 2 the bathroom? #waronwomen #fem2 #women
Aside from a few snickers from men, my point was made, and I am just one woman who is speaking out against the tide of oppression powered by the GOP's medieval mentality.
With the Republicans claiming they know best in all matters of a woman's body, incensed women around the country have bombarded the Facebook accounts of religious, conservative Republican legislators. Women have been leaving messages about their periods, bloating, cramps, ovulating, hormonal fluctuations, mood swings, what kind of bra to buy, the best cure for a vaginal yeast infection, soothing tender breasts, requesting breastfeeding tips, and so much more.
Interestingly, I don't think any of these male right-wing nut-jobs was able to offer any advice. On another forum, I've recently had my own run-in with men who think they know the female body and female orgasm better than women do. And this guy wasn't even American. So clearly, the problem exists everywhere, which means the #waronwomen is far from over.
The bad news is that this is just the middle of the war, each week brings a new battle, it seems. The great news is that women in America are not sitting idly by and hoping for the best. Women are taking to the streets to protest the right-wing's agenda and networking online and via social media to connect and get the word out. We don't need an imaginary warrior princess to save us from the bad guy. And the war won't end with the elections in November.
Every woman has the capacity to be a Warrior Queen, fighting for her right and all of our rights to have control over our bodies.
NEWS: No Women on House of Representatives' Birth Control Panel
by Trish Causey
Originally Published February 17, 2012
In yet another egregious action by the neo-cons of the United States' central government, House Republicans created a panel to discuss birth control insurance coverage, and yet, no women were invited to participate.
On the Democratic Congressional Committee website, they have a petition going, "Where Are the Women?" and every woman should sign it:
"Join Leader Pelosi in our call to Speaker Boehner, Eric Cantor, Chairman Issa and all House Republicans to demand that women be brought to the table when discussing women's health issues. Help us gather 50,000 signatures before Congress heads home tomorrow."
NARAL Pro-Choice America also had something to say in response to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform denying a female law student from testifying on the importance of access to birth control. This is insult to injury considering the hearing panel consists of 10 people, 8 of whom are men.
NARAL's president Nancy Keenan issued this statement:
"Just when you think the U.S. House of Representatives could not be more ridiculous, here comes a hearing on contraception to which women are not allowed to talk about the importance of birth control. When it comes to women's health and privacy, the committee would rather listen to eight men than one woman who supports contraception."
Democrats and women of America, get off your ass and get moving. The attack on Planned Parenthood was just the beginning. The Republicans are already working toward winning as much governmental power as they can in 2012. If they win, the women and the poor of America will pay the price.
*** On Twitter, use the hashtag term #waronwomen or #wherearethewomen to join the debate! ***
Aroused and fighting,

Here's a matchup to keep an eye on in the Week Six game between the Patriots and Ravens:
Patriots NT Vince Wilfork vs. Ravens offensive line
Wilfork had a career game in the Pats' playoffs loss to the Ravens back in January, recording 13 tackles, including a tackle for loss, quite a few for a nose tackle. But he also was moved significantly by the Ravens' O-line on Ray Rice's 83-yard TD run, thus being a non-factor in the play.
In Week Four against the Dolphins, Wilfork moved to left end instead of hovering over the opponent's center, paving the way for Mike Wright to play the nose. It seemed to work against Miami, and Wilfork likely will do the same on Sunday and force the Ravens to run away from him.
If Wilfork is in the middle, he will be up against veteran C Matt Birk. If he is on the left end, he could compete with ORG Chris Chester, whom Wilfork has a significant size advantage over. Wilfork is big enough and good enough to force teams to run away from him, and that can help the Patriots contain Rice, who torched them last season. The Patriots also need to establish a pass rush against Joe Flacco to take pressure off their secondary while they try and guard WRs Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason. If Wilfork can get penetration and handle double-teams, the linebackers and other D-linemen will have an easier time getting to Flacco.

According to PECO's website, there are 501-1,500 outages in Bensalem and several other Bucks County municipalities.
PECO serves 24,200 customers in Bensalem and 227,800 in Bucks County.
Other towns showing scattered outages include Bristol Township, Doylestown, Falls, Lower Southampton, Northampton, Upper Makefield, Upper Southampton and Morrisville.
Additional outages are expected. Check back throughout the storm for updates to PECO outages.
PECO's Storm Center said the company is ready for Sandy:
PECO has activated its emergency response organization and is prepared to respond to Hurricane Sandy, which is expected to bring extreme weather with drenching rains and sustained high winds.
Our crews stand ready to repair storm damage and restore service to customers as quickly and safely as possible.
Based on the expected damage from this storm, we expect a multi-day restoration.
Dependant upon the severity of the storm, there is the potential that we may have to suspend our automated estimated restoration time customer messages for a day or until we get more information as we assess damage to our system.
We know that power outages are frustrating for our customers. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
We have activated hundreds of employees including back office support, engineers, operations and other staff to ensure we are well-prepared to handle the impact from the storm.
PECO has secured additional crews from our sister utility ComEd in Chicago and from as far away as Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi to support our storm restoration efforts.
Customers should also prepare for possible storm damage:
- Keep PECO's emergency telephone number (1-800-841-4141) handy.
- Sign up for an online account with PECO and access www.peco.com from your mobile device to report outages and check system status.
- Have a flashlight with fresh batteries on each floor of your home.
- Have a battery powered clock and radio available.
If an outage occurs:
- Customers without power should contact the company at 1-800-841-4141. The more customers who call to report an outage, the more effectively PECO can dispatch crews and restore service. The company's automated telephone system can quickly record your outage, allowing our Customer Care representatives to remain available to handle reports of dangerous situations.
- Stay away from downed wires, damaged electric equipment, and tree limbs and branches contacting electrical equipment. Always assume PECO's equipment is energized – even if there is an outage in your neighborhood. Report these dangerous conditions to PECO immediately.
- Turn off and unplug appliances and other devices to prevent possible damage. Remember to keep one light on so you know when service has been restored.
- Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. Move meats, cheese, milk, etc. into the freezer to stay colder longer. A partially full freezer can keep food frozen for up to 24 hours, and up to 48 hours when full.
- Customers with generators should never connect them directly to home wiring or plug them into household outlets. Generators connected to home wiring can 'back feed' into PECO's electric delivery system, risking serious injury or death to PECO crews. Generators should always be placed outside to prevent carbon-monoxide poisoning.

Model Laboratory (3-0) got three goals from senior Andrew Wylie and a stellar game in goal from senior Levi Agee and cruised to a 6-0 win over Franklin County Tuesday in Richmond.
Junior Noah Valencia added a pair of goals and sophomore Rishav Aikat headed in a goal off a corner kick to round out the scoring.
The Patriots used their superior speed to overcame the extremely physical play of the Flyers early to seize control of the game both offensively and defensively.
The Flyers simply had no answer for the blazing speed of Valencia as he continually raced around and through the Franklin defenders to score or set up his teammates for easy shots. On defense, the Patriots overall team speed disrupted the Flyers offense all night.
Model coach Steve Savage said he liked the way his team handled the aggressiveness of Franklin County.
"I thought Franklin County was going to be really good. They played big and were tough and physical, especially early on," Savage said. "That was good for us to play against a physical team like this to get used to it. We got our big defensive center half that seems to thrive on that."
The game was scoreless for the first nine minutes, before the Patriots got rolling.
Valencia got the offense started with 30:18 left before halftime when he snared a rebound of a teammates' headed shot that bounced off the crossbar and fired a point-blank shot past the Franklin goalkeeper.
Wylie made it 2-0 a couple of minutes later when he took a nice pass from Aikat and nailed a 20-yard shot from straight away.
With less than two minutes to play in the half, Wylie picked up a loose ball in front of the Franklin goal and chipped it in to give Model a 3-0 lead at the half.
That was all the Patriots needed on the night because of the strong play in goal by Agee, who made several tough saves in posting the shutout.
But the Patriots weren't done yet.
Wylie picked up his third goal of the game at the 28:58 mark of the second half on a great crossing pass from Taylor Gentry to make it 4-0.
Aikat made it 5-0 with 21 minutes left in the game when he headed in a corner kick, then Valencia finished off the scoring when he beat the Franklin goalie on a breakaway shot from the middle.
The Patriots now get ready for another tough matchup Thursday, Savage said, when they travel to Berea to take on Madison Southern in the first district contest for both clubs.
Both teams lost some key seniors from last year's teams that battled it out for the district title — a come-from-behind 4-3 win by Model — but Savage said he expects Thursday's game to be just as intense.
"We're no strangers to each other and both teams come to play, it wouldn't matter if one team was great and one team stunk, we would both play really hard and really well," Savage said. "Southern has always played hard and I know that Coach Ray's teams have always played us hard and I know he will come up with something for us, and its at their place. So it will be a battle."
Model and Southern play at 6 p.m. on Southern's soccer field. The Lady Eagles will take on South Laurel, also at 6 p.m. Thursday, on the Southern football field.

The session was volatile throughout the day, with the benchmark gaining momentum towards the close of the trade.

Shortage of pilots: AI to hire fresh graduates for training
Purvita Chatterjee
Mumbai , June 18
In a bid to tide over the shortage of pilots, Air India will be shortly recruiting fresh science and engineering graduates to be trained as pilots.
"The board of Air India has approved this, and we will shortly come out with a scheme," Mr V. Thulasidas, Chairman and Managing Director, Air India, told Business Line.
Flying aptitude test
He said the airline would hire in batches about 100-200 graduates after a flying aptitude test. These graduates will be trained at least for six months at flying institutes abroad. The airline is now scouting for suitable training institutes.
Mr Thulasidas said the training scheme being worked out would ensure that the trained pilots would work for Air India for at least five to seven years, though he did not like to call it an employment bond.
Training costs
Though details are yet to be worked out, the scheme may also have provision for Air India to recover at least part of the training cost from the pilots during their employment with the airline.
The cost of training, till the candidates get the commercial pilot licence (CPL) is estimated to be about Rs 25-30 lakh per pilot. Normally, it takes 2-3 years to get a CPL, as it involves six months ground training plus minimum 250 hours of flying.
Air India has decided to go in for a short-cut as it wants to ensure enough trained pilots to fly its new fleet of 68 aircraft, which would be inducted from November this year.
Air India also has arrangement with the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Udan Academy for training pilots. Mr Thulasidas said the airline would be associated with the proposed pilot training and aircraft maintenance facility proposed to be set up by Boeing in India.
Air India and all other airlines in the country have been facing shortage of pilots for long. The national carrier has, in fact, started recruiting foreign pilots last year.

Shelby Township resident and retired UCS teacher Diane Finkbeiner has partnered with her son, Chad, to author "How to Break 10 Common Childhood Myths," a book that gives tips on how to curb unwanted behavior.
Chad is a graduate who teaches middle school classes in Armada, where he also lives. The self-published book, released July 23, is the first for the mother-son duo.
A book signing is planned for Oct. 17 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester. The book costs $13.47 at amazon.com for the print edition. An electronic version is $3.49.
A common childhood myth is usually an unwanted behavior that parents have come to accept. The myths were developed after years of teaching at different levels and noticing that children of all ages seem to believe things that were not accurate, Diane said. There are about 100 stories in the book along with background ideas and advice for encouraging wanted behaviors.
"We decided to share helpful hints or techniques to overcome, incorporating anecdotes and stories from real life or examples of what to try and what to avoid," Diane added.
"No Means Yes" is one example used it the book. The myth refers to a child's belief that by continuing to push they can get adults to change a "no" into a "yes." This myth is easy to overcome, but only if the parent is persistent. Using "maybe" is a viable alternative.
The Finkbeiners offered techniques and advice similar to what's in the book through various community education classes both locally and in Alabama. They also hosted a seminar for student teachers at Central Michigan University and provide private "Sassy Kids Home Parties," where they offer parenting tips during gatherings. Some techniques were used in the Finkbeiner home as well.
"Most of our family anecdotes are centered around my brother and me and our interaction with our parents. There is no way for me to put a qualifier on how my parents' methods have helped me to grow; they really have made me the man I am today through tough love and understand patience," Chad said.
Diane taught in the UCS district for 40 years, having retired from Momfort Elementary. Her husband, Fred, was also a UCS teacher until his sudden death in 1996. A memorial stone at Heritage Junior High in Sterling Heights was dedicated in his memory.

Seen In SOHO: Trapped, presented as part of the city-wide ACT FRENCH festival, is a play by French playwright Jose Pliya, who was born in Benin (Africa) and brings an international perspective to his plays. Presented in conjunction with staged readings in English of three additional plays by Pliya, Trapped is the centerpiece of The Pliya Project, a week-long celebration of this extremely interesting playwright.
Presented in French with English sub-titles (technically coordinated by Carole China), Trapped was brought in from Paris with its original company including director Vincent Colin and actresses Sylvie Chenus and Hyam Zaytoun. The play is a verbal dialogue between these two women, who are emotionally "trapped" in a house in a non-specified locale but one that is set in an ethnic war zone (Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan...). The set is a simply a carpet set on the stage of the Ohio Theatre (66 Wooster Street in Soho: www.sohothinktank.org
) with lighting by Denis Desanglois. The technical director/master electrician is Alexandre Dujardin who came in from France with the company to recreate the original lighting.
Trapped is a nice example of a play that has an universal appeal, and with its simple set, small lighting rig, and two-person cast is perfect for an off-Broadway setting such as the Ohio Theatre. Trapped runs through Sunday, with the final staged reading of An Ordinary Family on Saturday afternoon. Worth a visit to Soho.——Ellen Lampert-Gréaux
Seen on Broadway: The first-ever Broadway revival of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple is ideal—that is, if you like your Odd Couples with two Felixes in it. Make that one-and-a-half. Unwisely reusing remnants of his Leo Bloom whine from The Producers, Matthew Broderick gives a strangely becalmed performance in the actual part, and is more effective in the show's serious moments than in the quintessential neat freak vs. top slob sparring. As Oscar, Nathan Lane is far too fastidious and immaculate a performer to convince as a walking pigpen, and would look a lot more at home in Felix's ready-for-work period attire than in the rumpled sportswriter sweatshirts that Ann Roth has fashioned for him (and she knows from 60's styles, given that she designed the costumes for the original 1965 production, which starred a more aptly cast Walter Matthau as Oscar and Art Carney as Felix). As a play, The Odd Couple is worth its weight in gold; the timeless comedy is neatly balanced by a strong undercurrent of middle-age regret, and director Joe Mantello has cast the supporting parts to a T (co-stars Rob Bartlett, as Speed, and Brad Garrett, as Murray, might make an ideal, Mutt-and-Jeff Oscar and Felix somewhere down the line). Audiences contributing to its record-setting $21 million advance, however, may feel a little snookered, given that Tony Randall and Jack Klugman do much the same thing, and better (and for free) every night wherever the undying TV show is rerun.
Taking a bit of a break from his own finicky set designs, John Lee Beatty has no end of fun in the first act, where the horror show that is Oscar's Upper West Side apartment is unveiled in all its gruesomeness. I particularly loved the wilted Christmas tree, which had long since given up the ghost in the summer sun, and Beatty doesn't make the mistake of having Oscar's pad be a complete disaster (there's a little something there under all that benign neglect for Felix to uncover as Act II gets underway). And I liked how Kenneth Posner's lighting brightened, subtly, to accommodate the new roommate as his emergency home care program went into effect. In addition, Marc Shaiman has been enticed to contribute a jazzy little score (including, at the very end, a snippet of the TV show theme), giving sound designer Peter Fitzgerald something to play with besides the more prosaic effects of unseen dishes crashing in the kitchen. [Hudson Scenic and Hudson Sound and Light provided the scenery and lighting, and Sound Associates the audio gear. David Brian Brown, I assume, teased the hair of the goofy Pigeon Sisters, who fly into the show in Act II.] There's nothing at the Brooks Atkinson that a truly odd couple, rather than a matched set, couldn't fix.
Seen Off Broadway: Shaiman and fellow composer Michael John LaChiusa had a dustup over the summer, arguing over the future direction of the musical, and though both scored some points I'd be lying if I didn't say I'll always take a bad musical comedy over a bad musical that suffocates in its own self-importance. LaChiusa has at least one of those (the slow and fatuous Marie Christine) on his resume, but with his latest show, See What I Wanna See, he makes a strong case for himself. It has a contrived premise (contemporizing, in language and mostly in period, three stories by Ryonosuke Akutagawa, including one adapted into the film classic Rashomon) and is as uneven as only a show at the Public can be, with some rough patches. At its best, however, it's startlingly good, with a fiery performance by Idina Menzel in the Rashomon segment (set in 1950's New York and revolving around a murder witnessed by parties with their own versions of the truth) and a second act story so movingly acted by Henry Stram (as a disaffected priest planning a mock miracle to unsettle the faithful) I was in tears by the end. [And there are some big laughs, too, from Mary Testa, as the priest's anti-everything aunt.] Marc Kudisch, too, is in rare form, particularly in the Kabuki-esque tale of a lethal lovers' quarrel at the top of each act (where Menzel trades her Wicked green for a ghostly whiteface). It's a musical more to be savored than explained, and LaChiusa has supplied it with some glorious numbers. These include the title song (which Menzel really puts across) and the stirring "Gloryday," for the third story—indeed, just about everything in the segment is a moving requiem for a blasted city not unlike 9/11-era New York.
The highest compliment I can pay the design team is that they let the music, and our imaginations, fill in the blanks, not that there was all that much choice in the confines of the Anspacher. Thomas Lynch's spare scenic design is highlighted by the flowing red silk that cascades over the trysting place of the lovers in the Japan-set segment. Its flirtatious, adulterous scarlet is echoed by Menzel's hot, ready-for-anything dress in the second segment, the work of Elizabeth Caitlin Ward, whose work nimbly skirts the different periods suggested by Lynch's design, including a Central Park backdrop and the hints of a Japanese rock garden (and were the orchestra members dressed in Oriental garb? I wasn't sure, but it was nice). Fresh from the riot of In My Life, a show guaranteed to drive a purist like LaChiusa over the edge, LD Christopher Akerlind behaves himself and settles on isolating the characters in slashes of illumination, neatly choreographed in collaboration with first-time director Ted Sperling. Acme Sound Design ensures that not a syllable is missed. [PRG supplied the lights and Masque Sound the audio.] In the spirit of Rashomon, I won't lie to you: See What I Wanna See isn't perfect, with some scenes that aren't quite realized. But the truth is, when the show is firing on all cylinders, it's pretty damn good.--Robert Cashill

Maybe we're starting to see a mini-trend with Big Pharma. It would seem that Big Pharma is not afraid to threaten and/or follow through with job cuts in countries that enact policies they feel are unacceptable. Witness the following examples:
- On April 13th, In the Pipeline reported that both Novartis and Roche senior executives met with UK government ministers behind closed doors to inform them in blunt terms that they were prepared to cut R&D jobs and close sites if proposed pricing and clinical trial regulations were enacted as contemplated. The two Pharma giants have about 5000 employees in the UK. Government officials were said to be scrambling to "play nice".
- Sanofi-Aventis in Canada just cut 70 jobs as part of a reorganization blamed on loss of patent exclusivity. Further, the company took the opportunity to take the Canadian goverment to task for weakening patent protections and "favoring generics" - even while patents are still in effect. Sanofi says it will curtail R&D investments, capital expenditures and job creation in such an environment.
Thus Big Pharma has some clout to bring to bear when it comes to policy, pricing, and regulatory rules it cannot abide. It can pick up its bat and ball and move to another field. It will be interesting to see how often this type of strategy will show itself in the coming months and years - particularly in the slower growing, more regulated Western economies (ballparks).
It will also be interesting to see how various World governments choose to deal with such a tactic beyond grovelling of course - which I don't think is wise or sustainable. It also may not be in the long-term interest of the governed as well. You know all us believers in capitalism and free markets. How can we weigh the job losses of the few against the price cuts for the many? Only politicians can say for sure.

Petersburg School District Food Services Director Carlee Wells hopes funds from a Farm to School grant will help students learn about nutritious meals.
Carlee Wells thinks school lunch is not all fun and games, but instead is another opportunity for learning.
For Wells, Petersburg School District Food Services Director, lunchtime is when students can learn where food comes from and how it's best prepared.
In order to ensure she's teaching engaging lessons, Wells is applying for the state's Farm to School Grant, for a second year to help with lunch and lessons at Rae C. Stedman Elementary School. Last year's grant of $500 from the state fund, went toward the purchase of seeds, starter kits, soil and warmers to keep the seedlings warm. The funds also provided for two fruit trees, which will arrive this spring, Wells said.
Under teacher supervision, four elementary school classes planted seeds in the starter kits. Another four classes planted the seedlings in the school/community garden on the school grounds. Last year, students harvested potatoes that were used in the school lunch and all of the students had a sample, Wells said.
This year, the students have planted green beans, carrots and tomatoes. "We will try to use the harvested fruits and vegetables in school lunches as much as we can," Wells said.
"The whole idea is to show the students how to plant, harvest and cook the vegetables. Because, being in Alaska, the students can't just go down to the farm and see where food comes from. Here, it all comes from a barge," she said.
Students at Rae C. Stedman Elementary School (left to right) Allie Davis, Mattias Volk, Leesa Murph, Miguel Sanches, Brennan Skeek plant tomato seeds that will later yield fruit for school lunches.
Wells is also working with Carrie Martinsen from Barnyard Blooms to plant apple trees this spring. The elementary school students will learn how to plant, grow and harvest. And the fresh produce will be used in the snack program or as teaching tools in the Middle School or High School food classes, according to Wells.
"The main thing I'm concerned about is the nutritious part of the meal," said Wells. The 26-year-old graduate of Western Culinary Institute, in Portland, Ore., takes every opportunity she has to teach students about good nutrition.
"I don't believe in 'kid food,'" she said adding the harmful effects of daily meals consisting of overly-processed food such as Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. This year, Wells demonstrated her convictions by adding a salad bar as an option for school lunch at Stedman.
"I only get the students for 20 minutes, or however long it takes them to eat lunch, each day," she said. "Kids eat by habit. Why not change the mind set, and have them making healthy choices?"

RALEIGH — Wake County sheriff's deputies raided a home in the city over the weekend and charge three men and a woman with operating a methamphetamine lab as well as possession of the drug, ingredients used to make it and ecstasy.
According to arrest warrants executed Saturday, meth was being made in the house at 509 Aberdeen Drive and in a shed behind it.
Jacob Aaron Bullock, 30, Robert Proulx, 49, and Laura Elizabeth Clark, 23, were arrested about noon, arrest reports show.
Brian Timothy Brantley was arrested about 3:30 p.m.
Proulx, Brantley and Clark list the house as their home address, according to the reports.
Proulx appears to have no permanent address.
All four were accused of possession of methamphetamine, maintaining the house at 509 Aberdeen and the shed as a place to keep or sell drugs, manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of meth with intent to manufacture, sell or distribute it and possession of ecstasy.
Each also is charged with possessing precursor materials for meth, including pseudoephedrine, crystal drain cleaner and lantern fuel.
The three men were held on $200,000 bond each. Clark was held on $75,000 bond.

1980 Chevrolet Corvette Base Review
|by Cameron
"A piece of muscle car history"
Right now the speedometer is broken which means, obviously, you wouldn't know how fast you were going, but that is soon to be fixed. The door handles are different than most other vehicles. They are flat against the body and are pressed in rather than pulled out to open the door. Not quite as cool as the 1982, but it is equally lovable.

Combines a Word-Sync Function with the World's Most Unique VRDS Mechanism, and a D/D (Digital-to-Digital) Converter that Can Perform Sample Rate
VRDS mechanism (employing a aluminum tapered turntable and turntable bridge)
The VDRS assembly, though secure clamping to a turntable of the same diameter as the disc being played, totally removes unnecessary vibration; either from mechanical sources, or from the typical vibration of a disc. Rigidity is also achieved through the use of a turntable bridge composed of precision processed carbon tool steel. The shape of the turntable also helps to correct any warp in the disc. Because of the precise alignment of the optical axis produced by this arrangement, the servo current is reduced. All of the above factors decrease the disc read error rate, and help to prevent timing errors from the clock circuit.
Word Sync
The P-70 can achieve word synchronization by accepting a master clock from any suitably-equipped D/A converter. With the converter acting as the master clock, any jitter resulting from data transfer between the player and the converter is essentially eliminated.
Twin-transformer structure, with the power supply completely separated from the mechanical and digital signal systems
To eliminate mutual interference, the important key components of the player: power supply, mechanism control, and digital system (word sync, frequency multiplier, and clock) have been separated completely in the design. There are two split-core transformers in the power supply for additional interference rejection.
7 digital outputs, including 4 digital outputs from the converter multiplier (2xFs, 4xFs)
The player has four (XLR x 2, RCA x 1, TOS x 1) digital output terminals to handle the high-speed multiplied digital outputs (2xFs:24 bits at 88.2kHz, 4xFs: 24 bits at 176.4kHz), in addition to 3 "standard" digital output terminals (RCA x 1, TOS x 2) 44.1kHz. Following the dual AES specification, 4xFs (24bits at 176.4kHz) audio is output from twin XLR terminals The operational algorithm employed in the converter multiplier circuit is the RDOT method; exclusive to TEAC Corporation.
High rigidity chassis and triangular pinpoint feet
Based on 8 mm thick sheet steel, with the VRDS mechanism attached directly, and employing H-type 20 mm thick extruded aluminum. The front panel and the sides employ a construction method in which the 1.6 mm thick sheets are first plated with copper, and then with nickel. This two-layer design succeeds in totally removing internal interference, and helps to optimize the sonic performance. With the triangular pinpoint feet composed of case-hardened tool steel, vibration is almost completely eliminated.

For The Sticky Rice
Topping (Optional)
At least 3 hours before you plan to serve, combine the raw sticky rice and the mung bean centers in a medium bowl. Add water to cover them, swirl with your hands, and drain well. Repeat the process, rinsing away most of the yellow color released by the beans. Add fresh water to cover by about 1 inch, and set aside to soak for at least 3 hours and up to 12 hours.
To cook the rice and beans, drain them well, and then mix in the oil and salt. Scrape the mixture into the basket or onto the cloth-lined tray of your steaming vessel, and place it over a steamer base filled with 4 to 6 inches of water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat, and then adjust the heat to maintain an active flow of steam.
When steam is flowing through the rice and beans, cover with a folded kitchen towel, a big square of banana leaf, or a lid, and let it steam until the tiny yellow beans are tender and the rice plumps up, changing from bright white to a warm ivory shade, 20 to 35 minutes. The rice should be tender to the bite. It should stick to itself when rolled into a little ball, but not stick to your fingers.
While the rice and beans steam, prepare the topping, if using. You can chop the toasted sesame seeds, pound them lightly with a mortar and pestle, or leave them whole. Combine the peanuts, sesame seeds, and sugar in a small bowl, stirring to mix them well. Place on the serving platter you will use for the rice and beans.
Turn out the cooked sticky rice and beans onto a cutting board or tray and quickly spread them out into a fairly even layer. Let cool and release steam for 5 to 10 minutes.
Gather the warm rice and beans into a large clump and transfer to the serving platter with the bowl of topping, if using. Sprinkle the topping over the rice and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
Catching two alligators, a couple of horses and 136 stray dogs may not sound like a day's work for a deputy sheriff. However, with the addition of a new code enforcement division at the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office, animal control complaints in the county are now being handled by deputy sheriffs.
And the change seems to be making a positive difference. Statistics from the sheriff's office show that in the first three months that the new code enforcement division has been up and running, the deputies have answered 311 animal complaints, 18 animal attacks and nine calls of livestock in the highway.
After responding to a variety of calls the officers have impounded 136 dogs, two horses, and even two alligators, according to Tazewell County Sheriff Brian Hieatt. The deputies assigned to this division have charged at least three people with animal cruelty, and are still investigating the case involving the rare discovery of two alligators in deep Southwest Virginia.
The county Board of Supervisors voted in May to create the new code enforcement division. The animal complaint calls had previously been handled by conservators of the peace.
The deputies working the new code enforcement division are charged with responding to not only animal complaints, but also litter problems and illegal junkyards. Hieatt said the added officers will be concentrating on several dump sites located across the county, and will be aggressively pursuing and charging people who illegally litter. We are glad to hear that as litter is still a significant problem in our region.
Anyone who has an animal or litter concern can call the code enforcement division of the sheriff's office at 276-988-1160, and anyone interested in looking at or adopting one of the many dogs that have been impounded can visit the Tazewell County Animal Shelter or contact the animal shelter at 276-988-5795.
Mike Hymes, chairman of the county Board of Supervisors, believes the new code enforcement division under the sheriff's office is working well. And the impressive statistics to date from the new code enforcement division would appear to suggest that Hymes is correct.
The deputies involved in the new code enforcement division are to be applauded for their hard work to date. Responding to animal complaints isn't easy, but it is still a necessity in communities and neighborhoods across the county. And it is critical for county officials to keep the region's litter problem under control.
We wish the deputies of the new code enforcement division at the sheriff's office the best of luck in the days, weeks and months ahead.

Yanks' farm system again ranked middle of the packBy
At SI.com, Baseball America's John Manuel posted his personal rankings of the best and worst farm systems in the game. The Rangers and Rays top the list, while the Astros and Cardinals bring up the rear. The Yankees come in somewhere in the 6-15 range, which is better than last year's ranking of #15 (assuming they're not #15 again). The Yanks did graduate some talent this year (David Robertson, Al Aceves, Phil Coke), but they had a few players really break out (Jesus Montero, Ivan Nova) while adding some nice pieces via the draft (Slade Heathcott, Graham Stoneburner), so it's no surprise they've inched up a bit.
63 Comments»
…while the… Cardinals bring up the rear.
Brett Wallace, Clayton Mortensen, Shane Peterson, Chris Perez, and Jess Todd, we hardly knew ye.
Who cares what they think, they are constantly wrong and horribly bias.
John Manuel is a joke as are the others there.
All I have to say is Jesus Montero and what they said about him early on.
BTW for those that don't know they pretty much only care about what's going on in AAA and AA so if a team like the Yankees who have a ton of talent spread out throughout the farm it doesn't mean much to them.
Can Montero catch a few seasons in the majors first?
And yea BA is more concerned with high end talent on the Double A level than rookie leagues.
And yea BA is more concerned with high end talent on the Double A level than rookie leagues.
As they should be.
Bird in the hand.
One Nick Swisher in the hand beats two Nick Swishers in the bush.
I bet Nick Swisher would rather be in the bush than the hand though.
nick swisher loves bush
bush loves Nick Swisher.
Not only is George Bush a huge baseball fan, NO, LANNY, he can't catch a few seasons in the majors, otherwise he isnt eligible for inclusion in the farm system.
And yea BA is more concerned with high end talent on the Double A level than rookie leagues.
Except, of course, when it comes to the Red Sox. Westmoreland and Kelly (who is THE most overrated prospect in baseball. PERIOD) get specifically mentioned.
And Lars Anderson, before he was a complete failure in…………you got it AA!
Andy, you seem to know your shit about the minor leagues. Its nice to hear you say Westmoreland and Kelly are the most overrated prospects in baseball.
I think he said Kelly was overrated (just interpereting his english).
And I would agree with that–I think Wesmoreland is solid though, but still so far away that anything could happen.
I'm not saying that neither of them will make the majors, I'm just saying that are a few years away from being any sort of impact. But the way their names are thrown around in the rumor mills, you would think that they were the next Babe Ruth and Ted Williams. (It's up to you to decide who is who)
Kelly would have to be Ruth right? What with the possibility of being a hitter or pitcher?
But while Ruth was good at both, but legendary at hitting, Kelly's got got pitching potential & a terrible bat.
It's not actually a good thing when most of your number 1 prospect's value is purely projection, and is in A-ball.
And Westmoreland put up good numbers, but in SHORT SEASON A BALL. Are there even any premiere pitching prospects in that league? It's a humongous jump in talent from the Penn league to the Florida State League.
With Yankees having good-to-premeire talent in the two higher leagues, how can anyone rank the Red Sox's farm over theirs? What happened to overvaluing high-floor players who are a very good bet to contribute to the major leagues? Did that go out the window now that it's the Yankees who have more of that?
6-15 is great for a WS Champ and perennial contender imo.
How bout Philly though? #4, dayummm.
JP Ricciardi & Co really did a number on Toronto. Not only do they suck at the Major League level, they nearly have the worst farm in the game. How is that even possible when you never win?
6-15 is great for a WS Champ and perennial contender especially when you consider the picks they gave up last year to sign their type A's. It's very unlikely they'll be signing multiple type A's in one offseason again anytime soon, so as long as they draft well they should be able to move up on the rankings. To lose those picks and actually improve your farm system is a very strong sign.
Hah I thought the Mets would be in the rear. Oh well.
(fighting the urge to work blue)
Gerrit Cole would have looked good the past 2 yrs in the system.
And the Yankees should always have a top 15 system with their ability to add talent via international signings and high end talent later in the draft.
..So let me get this straight. The prospects the Yankees DON'T get would have "looked nice" while the good ones we already have are overrated?
Remember, the grass IS always greener in Lanny's world.
The Astros are like the Knicks of baseball.
Locked into bad contracts of declining, overpaid vets; no young help in sight, not good enough to contend but not bad enough to land the elite talent in the draft.
Unfortunately, there's no Staples Easy Button in Houston to push to make LeBron show up and solve all your problems.
Except atleast the Knicks made a change and realized they had to get out of bad deals, Houston always turns down trades for their old vets because somehow they think they have a chance.
So true
The Rangers and Rays SHOULD have better farms than us; they've been picking the best players in the draft for years now.
The fact that we have a system in the 6-15 range and not in the 25-30 range, despite the fact that we pick in the 25-30 range, means we're doing something right.
The fact that we have a system in the 6-15 range and not in the 25-30 range, despite the fact that we pick in the 25-30 range, means we're doing something right.
To be fair, the lack of a hard slotting system allows us to grab players that wouldn't be in that range were there no signing bonuses. The financial advantage shows itself in a large number of ways in the minors, not just the IFAs.
the Yankees budget was what, $7M this year?
every team can do that.
Do we have a legit Type-A free agent in the foreseeable future who we would actually offer arbitration to and let walk?
Cano maybe? IF he leaves do we assume we trade him?
Cano seems like a keeper, I doubt the Yankees will be letting him go anytime soon. The guy has already hit .320 and .342 in an early part of his career. He's undoubtly going to get better as he enters his prime years.
Yeah… We don't really let good players walk. We keep them and go fro the gold.
Luckily you don't actually have to be a good player to get type-A status. I imagine the next picks they get from a type-A guy would be from a middle reliever or someone who came over in a trade and is signed to a reasonable deal. (Nady would've been that guy this year if not for the injury).
CC, when he opts out of his contract.
***a single tear rolls down my face***
If he does opt-out, I'd say the odds are strong he'll be resigning. Just to make sure we keep him, we'll just have to root for the recession continue (maybe turn into a depression) so that CC's contract is still at market value (or higher) when his opt-out comes into play.
I'd still hope he opts out. I love CC but I want Felix more.
No need to shed a tear. CC goes, the King arrives.
CC's still the man.
Yea, too bad we cant have both.
My dream (the best case scenario) rotation:
King Felix
Panned out Joba
Panned out Hughes
IPK? Zmac? Nova? Mexigangsta? Robertson (he'll be a starter one day i know it!)?
or did we trade them all for a phenom corner OF'er and a new DH?
Yea, I was going to create a SP depth chart but that would be too optimistic. I was going to add all of those guys and even Arodys, Betances, Brackman, and other prospects there too.
Remember when everyone was saying: Horne? Clippard? Betances?
It happens all the time. And there's never a surplus, because the Major Leagues is excellent at filtering out the suspects from the dirty criminals, and there are a lot more of the suspects.
Long live the King! That would be the best Yankee signing ever…I'm probably just to obsessed with Felix Hernandez..
Wait you can offer arbitration to someone opting out?
They did with ARod
Oh thanks. Back then I had no idea about this stuff…
For whatever reason that just stuck in my head. http://yankees.lhblogs.com/200.....for-a-rod/
Wow. Some of the comments on that are legendary, even for Lohud.
Reading Lohud is being like KG. Anything is possible.
Wow. Some of the comments on that are legendary, even for Lohud.
How so? Based on what you said, I clicked that expecting to see everyone trashing arod but instead saw most people discussing the draft picks.
Crazy that this happened during the Santana trade rumors too? This offseason is going to be a bore when compared to the last two.
Writer from Sun Sentinel on WFAN says you might be in for a boring year with Joe G. Speaks intelligently and in soundbites but he was no fun to be around. Only 6 media members followed the team, and he never addressed anyone by name and told the same stories repeatedly as if he was rehearsing them. They finally started to tell him they had heard it before.
hahaha wow, did this guy call it or what? Pete Abe is such a child.
can't wait for carlos santana to hit the big leagues
"Oye Como Va" has been a hit for years now.
project prospect has Jesus the #1 catcher over santana and posey
There's an absurd amount of man-love for a guy who OPSed .618 in Low-A. His pitching stats were a lot better than that, but he's still a product of the hype machine. Westmoreland has a ton of talent but he's still on the lower rungs of the minor league ladder. Who do they have at AA or above with a ceiling? Bowden? Anderson? Neither one looked the part of phenom last year. Tazawa maybe.
The Yankees, by contrast, have Montero, Jackson and McAllister at AA or higher (probably all at AAA come Opening Day), a handful of solid relief prospects who could see the Bronx this year, and Romine about to hit AA, along with a bunch of high-ceiling guys in A ball and short-season. It's not even close right now.
as long as we have a better system than the red sox than its all good!!! but lets face it the sox are good at drafting it seems like even there late pics are top prospects.
The draft is of prime importance if you are the likes of the Royals, who has a limited major league talant pool, and the resources, to sign the "Elite Player" as a Free-Agent or keep him for a decade or more. The Yankees are the exact opposite: They can sign a Teixeira-type player, and can afford to be selective with who they draft and sign. When it comes to guys like Mitchell and DeLuca, who have tons of potential, they will spend the big bucks on. On the other side of the equation, a guy like Lyons who was considered to be a decent prospect, but with limited upside, was not signed. The Yankees are in good shape.

District Guide
Kajang was made the capital of one of Selangor's districts, Hulu Langat in the 1800s because of it being in the district's center. Now, it seems to be the center of Selangor itself. Seeing a boom in its recent population, the town is wasting no time in accommodating all. Along with regular housing projects, luxury ones were launched as well, most famously - Country Heights, along with Jade Hills and the Twin Palms among others. The SILK Expressway is the main highway used to get from the main Kajang area to its many townships, most notably Cheras.
Recreational and lifestyle facilities around the area include Stadium Kajang, the old Billion Shopping Centre and the more recent Metro Kajang, Metro Point, Kompleks (complex) Kota Kajang and big retailers Giant, Tesco and Jusco. Medical assistance is provided by hospitals Kajang, Putrajaya and Serdang and a handful of privately run clinics and medical centres. As for places of worship, The Masjid (Mosque) Kajang is a visual attraction as much as it serves as a place of prayer, made distinctive by its bright yellow paintwork and is particularly vibrant with religious activity. It also proves itself to be an educational hub with numerous primary, secondary and tertiary institutes.
