Before getting to this week's Discussion Question responses, I wanted to cover a couple of topics. First, yesterday I wrote a posting called "SABRmetricians vs Traditionalists." No other posting in over eight months of this site has ever had so much response. Some agreed with me. Some definitely did not. But, because of such great reader participation and response, I will be including a Mailbag edition with your responses early next week. So, check out yesterday's posting again and if you have any thoughts you would like posted, send me an e-mail. Thanks to everyone who wrote to me.
Before I get to your thoughts on baseball's current economic situation, I wanted to point out a great interview over at Al's Ramblings. Al writes a lot about the Milwaukee Brewers. He recently had the opportunity to interview Chris Coste , a former college teammate, who signed a minor league contract with the Brewers this winter. He will join the Brewers pitchers and catchers when they report to Phoenix, AZ, Saturday morning for the start of their Spring Training. The interview is great and well worth the quick read.
After reading the interview, I went to the Brewers website . There is an article in there with some of GM Gord Ash's thoughts on the 2004 Brewers roster. In the Don't Count Out… section, we find:
Chris Coste. Ash mentioned Coste as a possible third-string catcher behind Chad Moeller and Gary Bennett and a relatively potent bat off the bench. It would be an interesting choice since Coste is coming off injuries, will be 31 years old this year and did not break into affiliated baseball until the Indians signed him as a 27-year-old in 2000 after four seasons in the independent Northern League.
Here are some other Chris Coste-related websites you should check out:
ChrisCoste.com – You can order his books, "Hey, I'm Just the Catcher!" and "Roller Coster." | |
Concordia College stats page | |
The Baseball Wire's Chris Coste Page – sponsored by www.SethSpeaks.net | |
Brewers Fan Profile |
Obviously I, and anyone who has had the privilege of knowing Chris, wish him the best. Hopefully he can come out of Spring Training with a spot on the Brewers 25 man roster.
OK, let's get to your response to this week's Discussion Question. It was:
Clearly baseball's current economic situation leaves much to be desired. So this week's Discussion Question is devoted to it. It really is more than one question, so I will leave it up to you to answer as you'd like. What is the main problem with baseball's economic situation? If you were commissioner, what would your plan be to remedy the economic inequities in baseball? I realize this is a big question, but I think it is an important question.
And here are your responses. Thanks to everyone who contributed.
From "Michael" from Tampa Bay -
I think baseball's current economic problem does not rest with the New York Yankees of the league, but rather the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Milwaukee Brewers, and Montreal Expos of the league. While the Yankees are putting a great deal of money into their players, these other teams are not even paying fair market value for their players. This leads to many problems.
First, these teams do not have a team that can even come close to competing. In other sports such as NFL Football, each year every fan of every team can say their team has a shot at the playoffs and they would not be considered foolish. In baseball, however, with a $30 million dollar payroll, the Devil Rays can only fight for 3rd place in their division.
Second, the attendance of these clubs suffers greatly because if management won't pay market value to field a team, why on earth should fans pay to see them? If fans know that the Expos are just a farm team for the Yankees, why should they support the team? They shouldn't. The commitment to winning (and profit) starts with the ownership, and once fans see the management is committed to putting a winning team on the field, people will come. People will most definitely come.
The sharing of revenues is an effort to make the league more balanced and competitive. The small market teams, however, are not fulfilling their end of the bargain. Like a welfare system, the state requires minimal efforts for the welfare recipient to go out and find a job, and if they cannot they have a safety net. The system breaks down where the recipient collects the check but does not look for work. Same is true for MLB. If the teams with tiny team salaries receive money from the big market teams as part of revenue sharing, there needs to be some proof that the money is being used to actually make the team competitive.
My solution would be to create a minimum salary cap, a level that teams must exceed at least once every 3 years. It is understandable that every so often a team will need to do a massive salary dump for rebuilding purposes. But when a team is dumping salaries for 4 straight years, and their overall team salary is under $50million, they are truly part of the problem (not the Yankees/Red Sox)
One may argue that the fair market value has been distorted by the few teams with the deep pockets, and this may be true. That is why for a minimum salary cap to work, the maximum salary cap must exist, even if it is astronomically high. Let's say you set the limit at $150mil, only 1-2 teams could even approach it. Smaller-market teams could still be in bidding wars with the likes of Boston and New York if there were *some* salary cap, while at the same time the big teams could still have the flexibility that comes with having deep pockets.
You cannot force the Devil Rays to resign all of their best players to big contracts, but there should be a mechanism to force them to field a team which comes somewhere near the median level of the league.
Just to clarify my post, I would enforce the minimum salary cap in two different ways:
First, I would have each new owner of a beginning or bought franchise sign a contract with the league stating he will pay his players within a certain range of the league average payroll (promising via contract to stay competitive). Second, I would enforce it by making continuing ownership based on meeting those guidelines. After 2 straight years of deviating from the minimum by a determined margin, the ownership would be put on notice. If they do not make a reasonable effort to field a team aligned with the rest of the league, MLB will take control of the team (like the Expos) and will begin finding an owner who can. Of course this would only work if there was also a maximum payroll to keep the NY/Boston/LA teams from greatly expanding the median league payroll.
From "Pabs"
The only thing I thing you didn't cover and I think it's an important point is that the Yankees can do something almost no other team can do. They can afford lots of mistakes. They can blow 2, 3, 4, 6, million dollars on someone who might not work out because they can afford it. What other teams can do that? Suppose they need another player in the middle of the season? They can immediately plug their hole with the best money can buy. What other team can afford to do that? Teams have to take calculated risks on investment not just smaller teams like the Twins. The Yankees don't have to do that. As an aside, I'd like to know where George got all his money in the first place. I mean, all my life he's been this wealthy as sin demon atop the Yankee mountain. Where did he come from?
The only comfort I take is that while the Yankees won their championships in the 90s with a hometown team, now they really ARE a team of hired guns and mercenaries. I wish them worst of luck, and never was a team more deserving to be destroyed by the Baseball Gods.
From Will Young (check out Will's new and improved Twins Web Page) -
The problem with baseball's current economic situation is that it creates situations in which certain teams automatically begin from a position of strength relative to the other teams. I, for one, have no problem with George Steinbrenner and the Yankees because he is still operating within some sort of a budget rather than pocketing his profit. Thus, I do not really believe he should be "punished" for his willingness to spend money on premium talent. However, if I could make one change to the current structure, I would force half of all the money each team earns from television revenue to be placed into a centralized pot that would then be divided evenly throughout baseball.
Unfortunately, I will be the first to admit that this solution has many problems. First and foremost, many teams charge less than market value for their television contracts because they are owned by the same corporation (the Braves and Cubs come to mind). Second, George Steinbrenner would be kicking and screaming about this solution because it would be implemented solely to combat his willingness to spend money. However, it is one of the few first steps that MLB can take to tackle the problem.
From Kirk Beller -
About a-rod. Absolutely not--I don't disagree with you. I'm frustrated about it, and I don't feel like any of the articles I'm reading are capturing my feelings, so I feel like I want to write a thesis about the whole thing. I agree with the following facts:
1. There was nothing wrong with this move within baseball's current framework of rules.
2. Steinbrenner will do whatever he thinks it takes to bring a champion to the Yankees.
3. No amount of money guarantees a World Series title.
There are a few things that I think he's failing to consider about his method of acquiring players. For starters, you look at the Yankee teams that won the World Series in the late 90s, and you notice that they had some really good players on them. However, it wasn't a team full of all stars. I mean, we're talking about Paul O'Neill, Scott Brosius, Joe Girardi, Tino Martinez, Mariano Duncan, and Gerald Williams. Those players run the gamut from mediocre all the way to really good, but I wouldn't call any of them superstars. Those Yankee teams seemed to realize that you get yourself a good pitching staff, a couple of star players, and some decent players that know a thing or two about clubhouse chemistry, and you take your chances in the postseason.
That's not the case with this team. I liked Neyer's column the other day that showed how many all star appearances each player had. It was freakin' ridiculous. And though it would seem like a team with all stars at nearly every position would be that much more likely to win a World Series, it just doesn't seem to play out like that all the time. So, the bottom line is that I'm not sure Steinbrenner is making a good investment here. Yeah, it could very well work out with a World Series title, but the chances of that happening don't seem to go up that much with the acquisition of every superstar free agent on the market.
That's the problem though. Steinbrenner can make any investment he wants to without fear of any repercussions, because of the vast revenue stream behind the franchise. If there are no repercussions, financial or otherwise (but especially financial), there are no tough decisions to be made, and that's the real unfair thing about the setup in baseball right now. Every other team in baseball (with the possible exception of the Red Sox) has to make tough player decisions in building their club for each season. They have to draft carefully and develop players, or their teams are going to fail over the long term. The Yankees don't have to play by those rules though because they can always trump any offer made by another club for already developed superstar players in their prime.
One argument that I hear a lot when I'm listening to Yankee fans defend the Steinbrenner team-building philosophy is that plenty of other teams already try to spend gobs of cash to win a la the Yankees, and they fail miserably (take the Dodgers, Orioles, Mets and Rangers, for example). My response to that is that the Yankees represent a thing that is fairly unique in sports. They've won more titles than any other franchise in any of the four major sports. They have an owner with deep pockets and a big ego and drive to win at all costs. They also happen to reside in one of the last remaining markets in the United States where baseball is king, and talked about in the papers on the front page. Whether we like it or not, there's a Yankee aura. I'd argue that the Yankees cause more strong feelings among fans than any other team in North American sports. Have you ever met anyone that could just take or leave the Yankees? You either love that team, or you see it as Satan's most awful creation.
So, you can guess that my feeling is that the Yankees are uniquely poised to continue to be a powerhouse contender in their division for the foreseeable future. This should cause you to say "duh!".
Something needs to be done about the Yankees. I understand that most of the proposals put forward by people like you an me aren't viewed as legally consistent--people say it's not fair to make rules just to limit one team from using the resources that it came legally within the framework of the game. I say that's bullcrap. I say they do a lot of damage to the game, and it needs to be fixed, and if that means imposing a rule that only hurts them, then fine. I guess what I'm getting at is that there's a difference in this case between what's fair for the league, and what is right for baseball. It's sort of like in the legal system where there is a definite difference between what is legal and what is just.
What is legal right now is that Steinbrenner (or any other owner) can pour any amount of cash into building a team of all-stars. What is right is a team being built through good scouting and statistical analysis, smart drafting, and shrewd signings. The second way is fun to watch, the first way is just plain lame.
That's another point I should bring up, and I think it's one I've already mentioned to you. Yankee fans don't have the perspective to understand how special it is to win a World Series, and that makes me laugh. There is no way that they got the same enjoyment out of watching their team win one of their 26 titles as you or I did out of watching the Twins win in '87 or '91. Those were special events, made special by years of not winning one before, and not winning one since. I know plenty of people that get near tears thinking back to that '91 season. When was the last time you saw a Yankee fan overcome by emotion talking about winning it all in '98 and how special that World Series title in particular was.
That's why people hate Yankee fans. Whether you've been one all your life, or just for the short term, you appear to non-Yankee fans as the ultimate overdog supporter (did I just create a word?). Part of being a fan is being there and supporting your team no matter what happens, rather than being of the fair-weather ilk. It's buying season tickets for the Tigers last season, and coming back again this year because you care about that team, It's heritage, and uniform through whatever else happens. It's watching Carl Pohlad put a team with no hope on the field for the better part of 6 years, and sticking with that club until they're competitive enough to win a couple of division titles the hard way. Suffering through the lean years to enjoy the good times later is a big part of the fan experience. I'm sure that the Yankees have had their share of bad seasons along the way, but the lean years are much fewer and further between than they are for any other club in any of the major sports. Yankee fans never have to look at their team and know that there's zero chance their team is going to contend for the division crown.
That's what's not fair. They're the rich kids that never have to work for anything, and have everything work out for them. Much more than that, they're not afraid to push the difference between you and them in your face. Maybe that's what we're all looking for. Some comeuppance for that team. losing in the playoffs isn't enough. Justice in this case would be to watch that $200 million team fail to win the division or the wild card. Yankee-Free Playoffs would be so beautiful. I think I might want that more than I want the Twins in the playoffs this year.
So, I guess you can tell that I hate the trade, I hate the Yankees more than ever, and I hate A-Rod for being associated with them. Hate is good, despite what Yoda says. I'm going to ride my hate until Steinbrenner dies.
Blood Pressure dropping, rage coming under control . . . goosfraba . . . goosfraba.
If you have any thoughts for Kirk, be sure to e-mail me, and I will surely forward them to Kirk. I guess I thought that was Kirk's response to the Discussion Question. Ends up that it was just his way of dealing… here is his actual response to the Discussion Question.
Kirk Beller – Part 2
Oh no. That wasn't my answer to the discussion question--it was just an 'I hate the Yankees' rant. I mean, granted there was some of that that overlaps, but I was more concerned with whining about what the Yankees do and the A-Rod deal. You can still use all of that, but I figured I'd write about what I would change.
Here's what I'd do, assuming god-like powers over the owners and Players Association:
1. Set a maximum salary cap. Set it high, and keep the luxury tax. Put the cap at $200 million or something, but have something in place to keep one or two teams from getting ridiculously ahead of all the others in the player acquisition game. Any cap, even if it's that high puts the need for some amount of responsible spending into a roster. All of a sudden, the George Steinbrenners and John Henrys of the world need to consider what kind of value they're getting for their dollar, rather than just looking at it as investing part of their ridiculous revenue on the on-the-field product. So if the Yankees start the season at $190 million, they can't go out and add a $7 million/yr second baseman to fill that hole, and a $12 million/yr left-handed pitcher to fill a starting pitching gap left by an injury to a member of their rotation. Well they could, as long as they'd move some of their more expensive guys. All of a sudden they have to make the tough personnel decisions that the rest of the clubs in the league have to. They also wouldn't be able to trade (read "buy") players just to block them from going to other teams.
The other thing that might be cool about this is that more teams might be willing to deal for the missing pieces to make a run if they know the Yankees are hamstrung by their huge payroll.
Yes, it's a Yankee cap. But if you set it high enough, New York can still field its all-star team every year, but still gets a taste of having to assemble a roster responsibly.
How tough must it be to be a Blue Jays fan? Whether you agree with the system they have or not, it's hard to argue that they're not doing their best to run the team according to what they feel is a winning formula. They have a good farm system, some really nice players in the majors, and I think they're generally thought of as doing things the 'right' way. It just seems really sucky that they have to basically settle for contending for third place. Is that good for baseball? Whether it's their fault or their owner's or whatever, it seems like there might be quite a few fans all over the country that are being alienated because they feel like their teams have no chance to win.
I understand that the Yankees are always going to have some sort of advantage over the rest of the league, and that's ok. It just doesn't need to be a stranglehold that's there because they have the financial resources to assure themselves of having all-stars at every position.
2. Set a minimum salary cap. Put it at $40 million or something. If you can't reach that number, that money is forfeited to the Players Association, which would distribute that money equally among the players in the 25th percentile and below salary-wise. The guys that are making the league minimum deserve more than what they're getting and I think that a lot of times the Player's Association is more concerned with pushing superstars to get the most money possible, rather than focusing on the "little guy".
You know, I think that Scott guy had it right the other day. As a fan, there's this sense of hopelessness when you see one team that's a juggernaut every season and you know that for whatever reasons (small market, cheap owner, bad farm system, a couple of bad contracts) your team can't go out and do the same thing. Yankee fans know there's a 95% chance of being in the playoffs and what, a 25% chance that they'll win the series every year. Twins fans have to be satisfied with just being able to challenge for a playoff spot. It feels that way at least. It feels like we're playing by a different set of rules. It takes some of the enjoyment out of the game.
Again, if you (Yankees Fans!!!) want to express some thoughts in the direction of Kirk, e-mail me and I will forward them to him!
From "Eric B"
Fire everyone and start over. Make the MLB a corporation where "employees" pay is weighed heavily on performance. Sounds silly and incredibly socialistic. But really, the die has been cast, I really don't think the commissioner or anyone else can change anything because you'll never get the Players Association and the owners to agree on salary caps and basements. Nor will you get them to agree on revenue sharing which is the crux of the problem.
Teams get good established players with big money. They get big money when they generate more revenue. They generate revenue through broadcast agreements, endorsements merchandising. Where is this most successful? BIG CITIES like New York.
Bottom line, MLB exists and thrives in a capitalist, profit-based society. The greedy owners of teams that generate more revenue will always seek and compete for the best-greedy players, and get them! When asked if the trade was good for baseball, A-Rod smiled and said, "I think it's good for the Yankees". Get used to sentiment like this, he knows it doesn't matter what or who he signs for, he's going to get his money! Players DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE GAME of baseball. They care about the game behind baseball. I don't fault them for this, anyone would go after the best deal they can.
Do I think it has ruined the game? No. The game itself has survived just fine. Has it ruined October? No, a few good low salary teams sneak in every year (and occasionally win). Has it ruined April through September? It has definitely tainted.
How do you fix it? Share revenue across the board. Good Luck, we live in America!
So, there you have it; some different thoughts on the current economic situation in baseball, in your words. I again want to thank those that participated in this. If anyone has any ideas for future Discussion Questions, send me an e-mail.
Sunday morning, the Twins pitchers and catchers will be reporting to Ft. Myers for the official start of Spring Training. How exciting is that???? And, who will be there?
Pitchers (40 man roster) – Grant Balfour, Boof Bonser, Sean Douglass, JD Durbin, Mark Guerrier, Adam Johnson, Kyle Lohse, Joe Mays (won't pitch in 2004), Colby Miller, Michael Nakamura, Joe Nathan, Carlos Pulido, Brad Radke, Juan Rincon, JC Romero, Johan Santana, Brad Thomas and Brian Wolfe.
Pitchers (Non-Roster Invitees) – Jesse Crain, Aaron Fultz, Seth Greisinger, Rick Helling, Peter Munro, Jeromy Palki, Joe Roa and Kevin Tolar.
Catchers (40 man roster) – Matthew Lecroy, Henry Blanco and Rob Bowen.
Catchers (Non-Roster Invitees) – Chris Heintz, Brandon Marsters, Gabby Torres, and a guy you may have heard a little about, Joe Mauer.
Since I've gone through the team's pitchers and catchers, I might as well go through the roster of the Twins roster (and non-roster invitees).
Infielders (40 man roster) – Jason Bartlett, Cristian Guzman, Corey Koskie, Doug Mientkiewicz, Justin Morneau, Augie Ojeda, Nick Punto, Luis Rivas and Terry Tiffee.
Infielders (Non-Roster Invitees) – Juan Diaz, Jake Mauer, Jose Offerman, Alex Prieto and Luis Rodriguez.
Outfielders (40 man roster) – Michael Cuddyer, Lew Ford, BJ Garbe, Torii Hunter, Jacque Jones, Jason Kubel, Michael Restovich, Michael Ryan and Shannon Stewart.
If you have any questions about who some of these players are, please e-mail me and I will try to give you a little information about them. About two months ago, I wrote a posting on the Twins Non-Roster Invitees, with thoughts on each of them (that the Twins had signed at that time), so you may get some information from that too. Also, the last couple of days, the Twins Geek has written about who could possibly be the Twins 4th and 5th starters and provides more information on some of these pitchers.
Going into last night's game, the Wolves were one game back of the Sacramento Kings for the best record in the Western Conference. 48 minutes later, the Wolves had a 17 point, 92-75, win and a share of the Western Conference lead. Kevin Garnett again dominated with 22 points and 24 rebounds. Same Cassell had 18 points. Sprewell had 13 points, 7 boards and 5 assists. Troy Hudson added 10 points in just 13 minutes. The best news though was that Wally Szczerbiak played 16 minutes and scored 6 points. He didn't seem to show any pain. Having him back and 100% would be great. Nice 4th head to the 3 headed monster.
Speaking of that, Kevin Garnett refused to do a Sports Illustrated cover shoot unless it included Sam Cassell and Latrell Sprewell. Leadership comes through in a lot of ways. Kevin Garnett is the obvious choice for the leagues MVP award based on his on-court play. But it is the other ways that Garnett leads that may be more valuable to the Wolves team. Seemingly little things like getting Sam and Spree an SI cover go a long ways. His support for the role players is remarkable. I said it last year, but have to say it again, if Kevin Garnett is not your MVP, then the award should not even be given out!
The Wolves travel to Detroit to take on Rasheed Wallace and the Detroit Pistons tonight.
Well, I think that is it for today and for this week! It has been a busy week on this site. If you missed any days, but sure to check below, and also check the Archives Page (LINK) out. If you have any questions or comments on anything, please e-mail me.
Have a great weekend!

Safeco Field, Seattle, Washington
SEATTLE -- Kevin Millwood is having an easy time ignoring trade speculation.
"My computer's broke," he said.His arm is not.The way Millwood is pitching lately, he could be a quick fix for someone's rotation before Tuesday's trade deadline.The 37-year-old right-hander pitched effectively into the seventh inning, Jesus Montero hit a two-run homer and the Seattle Mariners beat the Kansas City Royals 4-3 on Saturday.Millwood (4-8) gave up one unearned run and six hits in 6 1/3 innings, lowering his ERA to 3.91 with his second consecutive solid outing. He struck out three, walked one and was aided by two excellent plays from Brendan Ryan.The shortstop sprinted into left field to catch a popup well behind third base, then later ranged to his right to gobble up a grounder, leap and throw to first for an out."I'm not sure you can get any better than that guy," Millwood said.Tom Wilhelmsen worked the ninth for his 13th save. Lorenzo Cain hit an RBI triple with two outs before Alex Gordon grounded out.Cain's fly ball soared into the sunlight and Seattle right fielder Casper Wells paused, waiting for it to come down to a point where he could pick it up. Then he sprinted toward the line, but it was too late.The ball tailed away from Wells and dropped, putting the Mariners in peril."He probably hit it in the best spot you could possibly hit a ball," Wells said. "I'm glad Tom got out of it because I wouldn't have had a good afternoon after that."Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas sprained his right knee while diving for a grounder in the first inning. He is day to day and will be examined again Sunday.Billy Butler was 3 for 3 for Kansas City.Montero hit his 10th home run, connecting in the third off Bruce Chen (8-8)."Made a mistake on Montero," Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. "Tried to go in on him and the ball ended up middle-away."After navigating around two hits in the first, Chen gave up three runs on four hits in the third.Gordon turned Kyle Seager's fly ball into a double when he lost it in the sun in left field in the third. Miguel Olivo followed with a single to right and the Mariners challenged the arm of Jeff Francoeur, who came into the game leading the league in outfield assists. Seager slid wide and tapped the plate with his hand to put Seattle up 3-1.Kansas City took a first-inning lead when Butler singled home Alcides Escobar.The Royals closed to 3-2 in the eighth when Gordon doubled off Brandon League and Escobar hit a one-out triple. But Chris Getz, hitting in Moustakas' spot, grounded out against a drawn-in infield and after an intentional walk to Butler, Yuniesky Betancourt grounded out to end the inning.The Mariners added a run in the eighth on Mike Carp's sacrifice fly.Kansas City lost its fourth straight on the road and dropped to 1-6 against the Mariners this season.Game notes
The Mariners inducted Randy Johnson and Dan Wilson into the team's Hall of Fame. They are the fifth and sixth members, joining Alvin Davis, Edgar Martinez, Jay Buhner and former broadcaster Dave Niehaus. ... Getz came in to play second and Betancourt moved to Moustakas' spot at third after the injury. Getz dropped a soft fly ball on his first fielding chance. Moustakas has been hitting third and is second on the team in home runs and RBIs.

Pioneer PDP-5000EX review
Due to its £6,000 price tag, the Pioneer PDP-5000EX is intended for home cinema fanatics. Its 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution makes it one of only a very select group of plasma screens able to show 1080p high definition, and with two HDMI sockets and one component video input, it's certainly got the potential to be a hub for several hi-def devices Read more

NEC 61XR3 review
Let's admit it: this 61-inch plasma screen will remain the guilty pleasure of the dedicated hardcore cinema fan or those with a massive disposable income. Still, it's remarkably cool, and even if you don't intend to spend such a huge amount of money on a television, it's always interesting to know what's out there Read more

Phillip Phillips' mother Sheryl Phillips -- who appeared on several episodes of "American Idol" during Phillip's championship run last season -- was arrested for DUI earlier today, TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement officials tell us, an undercover unit observed Sheryl swerving her van across lanes of traffic in Albany, Georgia -- and pulled her over.
We're told ... based on what officers observed after the stop ... they had reason to believe Sheryl was under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
According to law enforcement, officers administered a field sobriety test and Sheryl was unable to complete it.
Cops took her into custody and transferred her to a nearby hospital, where doctors decided she was well enough to go to jail. She's currently being booked in Dougherty County.
A source close to the family tells us, Phillip's parents split up last week.
Phillip has famously had a strained relationship with his family, refusing to help financially after their pawn shop went out of business.
Thanks to the Albany Herald for the arrest pic.
So sorry to hear that. She is definitely under a lot of stress with the finances and breakup...Phillip please help your family a little!
DUI are no big deal, we all know the punishment She will have to go to Alcohol classes pay a fine community service and probation.
Alright now, this is stretching a bit for a story. What next, his sister farted? His dog crapped? Come on TMZ I know there is a penis story you all should be working on.
Im from the same town as Phillip, and the story about him refusing to help his family is complete bull****! Perhaps its the lies in the media that have torn this family apart and drove his poor mother to drink! Im pretty sure I Know the ******* who sent this story in too , hes so screwed up, he needs just as much prayer as this family does!
She looks drunk on this photo. Give Her a pass this time rite. Lets just wait until she kills someone. White people gotta Luv em
I know it's a slow news day, but this is just non-informamtions. Who Cares. Really guys, please clean up your act. I love TMZ, but this page is really turning into the bottom of the barrel.

I sure hope it's streaming. I miss Lala...
wow, unemployed but own an iphone 4 and ipad....that's responsible spending
instead of sleuthing, start writing code and make some apps for those devices of yours.
I hope steve jobs stand up tomorrow and says "Sorry We F***ed up the itunes UI, we were drunk and took some bad advice"
I'd be much happier to see this being about the Beatles than Cloud based iTunes
Free music for a day? Oh baby my external would be filled
That's actually a good thought! Didn't apple make some kind of deal with facebook?!? Pingbook anyone? Lol
iTunes will now sell porn steve has saw the light and will hype an sell virtual vibrators as well via iTunes
Sent from my iPhone using ModMyi
I'm hoping for an iTunes subscription service! Cloud stuff would be cool but I've always envied the ZunePass. I want an iTunes pass already!
can't wait its going to be big i think
Great first post! It's called saving money. I have zero debt and I am able to cover all of my expenses. I'm not receiving any unemployment benefits or anything so don't act as if I'm living off of your taxes. Keep up the assumptions, they'll always get you far.
I'm assuming you're working the corner since you have some sort of imcome outside of unemployment
Just Kidding You're selling coke huh?
Didn't think of that. But me too. I think that's the last thing on the list of things coming to iTunes though. Cloud wouldn't be too useful for iPods anyway, considering the lack of 3G.
Can I be first in line!?!?!
Probably just facebook integration with ping and a few other minor tweaks.
I wouldn't be surprised. even If that doesn't happen we should all know it will be just another money-making scheme for apple, like when they removed drm they promised 69c and 1.29$ prices for music and now all new songs are $1.29 and even old crappy ones
or making iOS devices open source just like the droid and othe devices that do not run strictly off a library of programs approved by one group of people. or maybe just completely open the app store

Have a GREAT "ME" DAY :)
Hey, why don't you come join us in the TuD chat room?
You'll see us at the bottom of the home page.
We have a great time getting to know each other, sharing info and lots of laughs :)
It's on right now!
Happy,Happy Birthday,jla. I wish for you a most wonderful day. ENJOY!!!
Thanks for the reply, jla. Yes, I'm on Medicare, and not on the Omnipod, although the Pod or the promised Solo equivalent look very attractive apart from cost and reliability questions. Tried Dexcom, the initial version, some years ago but was discouraged by unpredictable and frequent failures; gather it's much better now. And, just to make clear, I too have never found close control to be anything like easy!
Hi jla -
Having myself had T1D for almost 52 years, I'm always looking out for other long-termers, and just happened across your post about the Omnipod. I'm a bit older, tight control because of neuropathy from late diagnosis (A1c typically 5.3%), physically active, although I find maintaining good bgs during sustained exercise to be complicated. Would you be interested in sharing techniques? Maybe you know other long-term T1Ds?
I don't believe you can change your Medicare plane now....I had no idea I would be covered..I have paid out of pocket for over 2+ years....I still cannot believe it!!
I too, am on Medicare. I have a BC/BS Medicare advantage plan. On it since Jan 1. I now get my pods with NO COPAY from Edgepark. (So Far). Condidered a DME. If you know how a Medicare Advantage plan works...I have no deductable, covers EVERYTHING medical. I do have copays. This is the first time since being on medicare that my pods are covered. With all said and done...I didn't pay as much for my pods as you are paying in medical coverage.
WELCOME TO ONE OF THE GREATEST FAMILIES YOU WILL EVER MEET MY FRIEND!!!! WE'RE GLAD YOU JOINED US!!!!!!!!!! Please introduce yourself on our forum. Questions??? Just ask one of us or post it on our forum and you will get many answers there.

Profar plays a premium position, can swing a great stick, and has a wonderful smile, so I'd be arguing an unwinnable case. But Taveras' bat has a chance to stop wars (or start wars; whichever you prefer). I've never been more impressed with a young hitter than I am with Taveras. Watching him take a ball over the batter's eye during batting practice at the Futures Game probably influenced this infatuation. I was attracted to him before, but after feeling his bat speed from 10 feet away, I started writing poetry in his name. His offensive potential is abnormal. That sh*t cray.

Read More...Michael O'Donnell writes in the Nation, "A colleague of mine recently argued an important civil rights case before the Supreme Court. In the hectic days before she left for Washington, as she reread every relevant decision and practiced clearing her throat, her attention was diverted by a niggling question: what would she wear to the oral argument? A fellow lawyer had set her to worrying by telling the cautionary tale of a female assistant solicitor general who some years earlier had shown up to court in what then-Chief Justice Rehnquist apparently regarded as an unlovely shade of brown. Halfway through her presentation, Rehnquist sent a note to the solicitor general, saying that he never wanted to see a government attorney wearing that color to the court again."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A ward realignment in Dunbar will not lead to any changes in where voters cast their ballots, a Kanawha County official said Tuesday.
There was some confusion over the matter at a Monday meeting of Dunbar City Council.
City Clerk Ross Harrison told council members the realignment would not change any voter's precinct location, but Mayor Jack Yeager said that his polling place, which hadn't changed, was now located in a different ward.
"There is still a question of whether voter locations will change," he said.
Pat Fisher, registrar for Kanawha County Clerk Vera McCormick's office, confirmed that no polling place would change.
Precinct locations are chosen for the voter's convenience, even if the precinct location is outside the voter's ward, she said, and voters will still receive the correct ballot for the ward in which they now live.
"If you live in Precinct 291, you will see the ballot only for Precinct 291," she said. "You will see the people running in that ward on that ballot."
Voters will receive new cards with their precinct numbers and locations, Fisher said.
The realignment, which became effective Nov. 15, was undertaken after the 2010 Census showed that population shifts within the city had led to unequal population distribution among the four wards.
An estimated one-third of the city's residents will see changes in their council representation.
Harrison said city officials worked closely with the county clerk's office to ensure that anything done would not affect other local and state districts.

The Overview
After the success of Jade on 36 and Mr & Mrs Bund, Paul Pairet has upped the ante on Shanghai's dining scene again with Ultraviolet, an intriguing restaurant that blends food, ambiance and technology. Moving beyond your usual molecular gastronomy, the acclaimed chef's latest launch brings all five senses to life in a minimalist room featuring customized video and light projections, soundtracks, scents and even hot or cold air, among other museum-standard technologies.
The concept is based on what the Frenchman calls "psycho-taste," his belief that food is about emotions and staging the ambience willenhance the food served and the memory of it. "[It's] like wine pairing, but with atmosphere," explains Pairet.
Meals are a convivial affair with a single dining table. The restaurant's location is undisclosed so guests are ferried to the restaurant at the same time, embarking on the three-hour culinary journey together.
For now, there's just one fixed-price menu featuring a staggering 22 courses, which includes drink pairings such as wine, as well as clever concoctions crafted with Pairet's whimsical style: a dessert of flash-frozen Coca-Cola Pop Rocks candy is served with gummy-flavored Evian water, for example.
Scenarios are staged to complement the cuisine. Truffle burnt soup bread, a dish combining the surprisingly addictive flavors of cigar smoke, burnt bread, meuniere sauce and truffles, makes its entrance amid scenes of a dark, mist-filled wood accompanied by a haunting piano melody. At the same time a hidden door opens up to reveal a real-life giant Camphor tree root.
With just 10 seats each night and bookings that fill up quickly, you'll invariably find yourself alongside longtime Pairet fans. Pairet's artful cuisine may be the star of the show, but the blend of senses, and ultimately emotions, adds up to an impression that is certainly greater than the sum of its parts.

"Previewing" while choosing "selected views/sheets",
I'm wondering why the "preview" is not activated as we choose the option "selected views/sheets" for the "printer range".
In this case how can we still "preview" even when selecting "selected views/sheets"?
Thank you
Funny, I've asked the same (and more) >here<. If you want to see a Print Preview, switch the selection back to "Current Window" so the option in available again. Revit will retain your selection when you switch back to "Selected Views/Sheets".
many thanks

Prostate cancer occurs when cells in the prostate (a gland in the male reproductive system found below the bladder in front of the rectum) grow and multiply uncontrollably, damaging surrounding tissue and interfering with the normal function of the prostate. The cells can then spread to other parts of the body. Mostly occurring in older men, prostate cancer is the most common form of male cancer, with approximately 186,320 new cases diagnosed in 2008. Your best chance for surviving prostate cancer is detecting it early. When found early, there is nearly a 100 percent chance for cure.
Men with prostate cancer may have one or more of these symptoms:
None of these symptoms are specific for cancer, and most men with prostate cancer have none of them. However, they may point to other health problems. Their presence should prompt men to seek medical evaluation, including a digital rectal exam (DRE) of the prostate and serum PSA, from a urologist or other physician.

Rogers to deliver Annual Research Lecture April 24
Regents Professor of Communication and Journalism Everett M. Rogers will deliver the Universitys 47th Annual Research Lecture Applications of the Diffusion Model: Spread and Consequences of the Internet Wednesday, April 24, at 7:30 p.m. in the UNM Continuing Education Auditorium, 1634 University Blvd. NE. Research Lecturer is the highest honor UNM bestows upon faculty. Rogers says, diffusion is the process through which an innovation, defined as an idea perceived as new, spreads via certain communication channels over time among the members of a social system. Up to 5,000 studies have been conducted on the diffusion of innovation over the past six decades, he says, which helped in the development of a model that he will discuss in connection with the recent spread of the Internet.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Bright, deep red. Captivating violet lift to the aromas of cassis, minerals, bitter chocolate, licorice and sexy oak; I would have guessed this had a good deal of cabernet franc. Then extremely primary on the palate, but already showing a seductive sugar/acid balance. Boasts lovely clarity and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This wine continues a long-standing tradition, showing a mastery of the art of blending. It's made using grapes that are sourced from at least six vineyards scattered from Yountville to St. Helena. Right out of the bottle, it's a soft, smoothly tannic wine that's rich in blackberry jam,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Clos des Lambrays is striking. Dark cherries, plums, wild berries, spices and licorice are woven together beautifully in this highly expressive, singular wine. A cool vein of minerality is a common thread as the wine continues to take shape in the glass. There is a beguiling, mysterious..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A beautiful effort, the 2009 Pichon Lalande, a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, possesses copious mocha, lead pencil, unsmoked, high class tobacco, black currant, forest floor and herbaceous characteristics. It is a deep purple-hued, charming, surprisingly open-knit..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Rich, yet always elegant, this has raspberry flavor and terrific acidity that creates tension, contrasting with the opulent fruit. While it's structured, it will soften and round out over the next five years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes This is a wine of contrast as the ripe and spicy nose is really quite cool and restrained with its aromas of black fruit, cassis, plum and plenty of earth influence. There is impressive richness and excellent volume to the quite finely detailed medium weight plus flavors that possess good power and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Not surprisingly, the 2006 is a bigger, more muscular, less charming effort displaying unbridled power, full-bodied richness, and notes of new saddle leather, black fruits, roasted herbs, and burning embers. Powerful and rich with sweet tannin, low acidity, and more structure and density than the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Good ruby-red. Nuanced aromas of blackberry, minerals, licorice and wild herbs; a bit more medicinal in character than the 2008 version. Quite closed and inexpressive following the recent bottling, but concentrated dark fruit flavors show a lovely light touch, with mineral and floral notes..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is not a big Château Margaux, its style showing more elegance and discretion. The tannins are soft, although producing a dense web that lies underneath the black currant and plum fruit flavors. It is a wine that envelops the mouth, an edge of firmness over velvet fruit textures. The wine..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Dense purple to the rim, this wine exhibits the classic cassis aroma that is so characteristic of Mouton. Medium to full-bodied, tannic, powerful, and cut somewhat from the 1988 mold, this is a backward, chewy, well-endowed Mouton-Rothschild that will require considerable patience from those who..
