2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington.
On Friday, the Port City Bar Association brought people together at Savannah State University to learn about the city's history and the role Savannahians played in the civil rights movement. The program included a panel discussion featuring many who were on the frontlines of the movement.
"What we are trying to do here is take a look back at the past and what we have been able to accomplish in the Savannah community and to say my beloved and use it to guide where we are going in the future," said Shalena Jones, Port City Bar Association vice president.
WTOC's Jonathan Burton served as the moderator for the panel discussion.

Mobile apps let consumers digitize receipts, gift cards
Several companies are tackling the challenge of organizing paper and plastic receipts, gift cards, coupons and promotion alerts by offering the digital alternative of storing them in the cloud.
San Jose Mercury News
Digital shopping
Several companies are tackling the challenge of organizing paper and plastic receipts, gift cards, coupons and promotion alerts. Here are four of them:
Ziploop: Helps people create digital records of paper receipts, gift cards, coupons and promotions that can be stored in the cloud by using a dedicated @ziploop.com email address.
Gyft: Enables people to scan their gift cards and digitally store information and balance amounts.
OneReceipt: Converts paper receipts into digital formats. People can scan or take pictures of their paper receipts and upload those to their @onereceipts.com email address.
Lemon Wallet: Operates as a digital backup to your wallet, including credit-card information. People can manage expenses, store receipts, track balances and cancel credit cards in the event a real wallet is lost.
Consumers, with the help of tech companies, are transforming their personal blizzard of missing receipts, misplaced coupons, lost promotional alerts and unused gift cards into digital files stored in the cloud.
"People have rubber bands around receipts, around promotions, around coupons, and things are in complete disarray," said Peter Jackson, chief executive with Orinda, Calif.-based Ziploop, which offers consumers a digital alternative to retail activities on paper. "The big gap in technology is an effective mobile application that helps us manage our retail transactions."
Through the Ziploop system, a shopper can use a smartphone to snap a picture of a paper or plastic retail item. The key information from the gift card, receipt, coupon or promotional item is then uploaded to Ziploop, which stores the data in the shopper's personal retail file in the cloud.
Ziploop launched its beta in July, an Apple iPhone application in September and a Google Android phone app in October.
Ziploop and other companies, such as San Francisco-based Gyft, Palo Alto, Calif.-based Lemon Wallet and New York City-based OneReceipt, are tackling an array of ways to digitally organize their shopping documents. Consumers can use Ziploop, OneReceipt, Lemon Wallet and Gyft for free.
"I use it all the time and I absolutely love it," Orinda, Calif., resident Mollie Ricksen said of Ziploop.
"The other day I ordered something online and it went to my Yahoo email. I took that email confirmation of the purchase and forwarded it to my Ziploop account. There it was. All the information was there, including the store it came from."
Ricksen said she also finds the photo-taking side of the service easy to use.
"Everything is on my phone," Ricksen said. "The advertisements, the receipts, the promotions. I use it to make returns."
Ziploop and some other services can also alert people through their smartphones that they have an unused gift card, coupon, promotion or rewards program when they are in or near a particular store. The various services meld nicely with stores' efforts to reduce paper transactions.
"More retailers are moving their point-of-sale receipt system from cash registers to email," Jackson said.
But delivering receipts by email can create a pile of messages in a consumer's inbox.
With Ziploop, for example, consumers can automatically store and organize the email receipt, coupon or promotional item by simply giving the retailer their dedicated Ziploop email address or by forwarding messages from their personal email to Ziploop.
People also can use Ziploop to look up a promotional item, receipt, or coupon by date, store name, or even the type of merchandise, such as a toy or clothing style.
"We are going to see more and more of these kinds of services," said Tim Bajarin, principal analyst with Creative Strategies, a market-research firm. "But we are still in the investigative stage of all this. We have to see what works and what doesn't."
The various services are touted primarily for smartphone applications, but companies say people can also use their personal computers and tablets to access the e-receipt and other services.
Gyft focuses strictly on a platform that lets people convert the information on their plastic gift cards into an electronic format.
"A lot of consumers forget their cards, don't remember they have them — they are sitting in the bottom of pocketbooks — or they lose the cards," said C.J. MacDonald, co-founder and chief operating officer with Gyft. "Why not empower consumers to digitize these cards, walk into a store, and use a digital version. A huge race is on right now to digitize the world and get rid of plastic and paper."
Consumers who use Gyft can take a picture of the gift card and the bar code to digitize the information, which is uploaded to the Gyft platform. Then they can easily find the gift-card info and not worry about where the plastic item is physically located.
Gyft also tracks the balance on the card as it is spent down.
"People often lose paper receipts," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group. "Once you digitize these receipts, you have them for life."

World champion sexter Olivia Munn really wanted to make it to SXSW this year for the premiere of her appropriately titled new film, The Babymakers. But she's apparently being held down in Los Angeles by Aaron Sorkin, whose new HBO show she's in, and because she's probably also taking some sort of advanced Photoshop class.
So to make up for it she user her mad skillz to make a nice photo for everyone in Austin this week, in addition to writing them a nice letter. The photo is above and the letter is after the jump.
Sure, she's having a sense of humor about this, outwardly, but I bet Olivia Munn really wishes she had a big, green penis.

We present the first direct evidence that state-level public opinion on whether a particular Supreme Court nominee should be confirmed affects the roll-call votes of senators. Using national polls and applying recent advances in opinion estimation, we produce state-of-the-art estimates of public support for the confirmation of 10 recent Supreme Court nominees in all 50 states. We find that greater home-state public support does significantly and strikingly increase the probability that a senator will vote to approve a nominee, even controlling for other predictors of roll-call voting. These results establish a systematic and powerful link between constituency opinion and voting on Supreme Court nominees.
That's from a newly published paper by Jonathan Kastellec, Jeffrey Lax, and Justin Phillips. Public opinion about the nominees matters over and above the overall ideology of a state's voters, the nominee's qualifications, and a senator's party and ideology.
The analysis generates some fun counterfactuals:
Bork received only 42 votes in his favor (given actual opinion on his nomination, we would have predicted 43). If he were as popular as Alito, however, with the state-by-state popularity of Alito, we predict that he would have been confirmed with 54 votes…
…Thomas was more popular a nominee on average than was Bork, and a bit more popular than Alito. Did this make a difference in his confirmation vote? What if he had been as unpopular as Bork? Our prediction, applying Bork's state-by-state opinion level instead of his own, is that Thomas would have received only 40 votes—a "landslide" vote against confirmation. Public opinion, it seems, was crucial to his successful confirmation.
Kastellec et al. also predict that Harriet Miers would have won only 32 votes.

Players round 15 or below
1. Julius Gaines
Terrific defensive shortstop with plus speed. Has hit against some of the best high school pitching. Has potential to hit .270 with 10 homers and plus plus defense.
2. Brandon Downes
5-tool player, terrific athleticism. Had a school record 15 homers and an absolutely incredible 1.064 slugging percentage
3. Daniel Gossett
Plus Fastball that he can get up to 95, three pitches.
4. Jarrett Brown
Extremely high upside, very projectable, 6'3 but only 169 pounds. struck out 93 batters in 53 ⅔ innings. Lefty, his high school coach thinks he will be able to get it up to 95 in a year. Needs to develop a consistent off speed pitch. This is what his coach said about him "I will not be surprised if we don't see a mid-90s guy by the end of the summer, He really doesn't know what he's doing yet, but he's got unbelievable upside. He's got a really bright future."
5. David Chester
Can flat out hit, has a huge build and an unlimited power ceiling. Hit 5 home runs in a week recently in the Red Sox system, has very good plate discipline. At Pitt, he hit .345/.470/.665. His bat will need to carry him though.
6. Blake Forslund
Another high ceiling pitcher, did not pitch well this season at liberty, but can get it up to 97.
7. Sikes Orvis
Another player who can flat out hit, I don't know how these players last this long.
8. Zach Good
Tall and lanky, projectable, throws low 90's with a very good curveball.
9. Austin Davidson
Utility infielder who can play SS, 2nd and 3rd very well, has a terrific arm, not a great hitter.
10. Brandon Kaeptyn
Has played very well in college, killed the ball, and also pitched very well.

According to recent statistics, over half of you have made, or will make, New Year's resolutions to kick off 2013. It's part of our human nature to admit to ourselves we are not all that we can be and a new year is a good time to resolve to get better.
But you know the rest of the story. Most of us try to bite off a bunch of changes and improvements - rarely with much success.
I've been hearing from a lot of people around town about a different concept. It was developed by a local pastor and it's called My One Word. The premise is pretty simple. Do something about one thing instead of nothing about everything.
I haven't read the book, but I like the theory and I think it is worth a try. It definitely falls in line with some good business principles and it ties in perfectly with what I learned in the movie City Slickers when Curly said the secret to life was just one thing and it's up to us to figure out what that one thing is.
Good luck with finding that one thing. Happy New Year!

Yep, more new projects from Cannes. Bear with us.
Deadline reveals that Colin Firth and Emily Blunt are set to pair on an untitled dark comedy that Focus Features International is selling around the market on the Croisette. Written by Becky Johnston ("Seven Years In Tibet," "The Prince Of Tides") Firth will play "a man who hates his job and is hated by his ex-wife and son. Feeling he missed his one shot at living the dream, he fakes his death and buys a new identity. Along the way he meets a woman (Blunt) who is also trying to leave her past behind. The pair break into empty homes and pose as the absent owners. The two find a kinship despite all the lying."
Sounds like a wickedly dark premise. Firth is fresh off his Oscar win for "The King's Speech," and seems to be eager to play with his persona, taking a similarly shaded lead in the upcoming "Gambit" while also eyeing Park Chan-wook's English language debut "Stoker." And he'll have a formidable co-star in Blunt who is making her way in the upper ranks of top tier actresses in Hollywood with roles in "The Muppets," "Looper" and "Five Year Engagement" on the way. She also shined most recently opposite Matt Damon in "The Adjustment Bureau." If there is any question mark right now, it's with director Dante Ariola, a commercial and music video director who will be making his feature debut. He seems to have everything he needs to make a solid picture so let's hope he doesn't mess it up.
Calum Reed | May 11, 2011 6:26 AM
For some reason I read this as "Clive Owen and Emily Blunt," and was far less happier when I re-read and found out it was Firth. I hope that they're not going to be lovers in it!
It's an interesting project by an interesting screenwriter, nevertheless.
sp | May 11, 2011 5:10 AM
Mason ( or whatever different names you use ), please stop with that an actress is " beautiful " and " need to do more mainstream films or American films" in your comments. This beyond annoying.
Mason | May 11, 2011 4:12 AM
Emily is incredibly beautiful.
I hope Colin Firth does more American films from now on.
Kevin Jagernauth | May 11, 2011 3:41 AM
Yes, we do. Stay tuned. A plethora of reviews will be coming.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A New Hampshire Senate committee is holding hearings on a pair of House-passed bills to allow wider and heavier all-terrain vehicles in certain locations.
One bill authorizes the state's bureau of trails to develop trails for vehicles 65 inches wide and weighing up to 1,700 pounds at Jericho Mountain State Park. The bigger vehicles would be limited to specific trails to minimize the environmental impact.
The second bill increases the width from 50 inches to 62 inches and weight from 1,000 pounds to 1,700 pounds for utility off-highway recreational vehicles on state trails in Coos and Grafton counties.
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearings are Wednesday morning.

ANDERSON — The smile on Anderson girls basketball coach Chad Cook's face was big enough to be seen across the court.
The idea in basketball is to get the easiest shots possible and to force the opponent into the most difficult shots imaginable.
The Lady Tribe had both ends of that equation working to near perfection Saturday afternoon as they hammered North Central Conference foe Richmond 84-33.
The Red Devils had...well...a devil of a time getting the ball in position for a good shot and in getting those shots to fall. They hit 21 percent of their shots, getting just 10 field goals to srop to contrast with 21 turnovers.
The Indians, by contrast, hit 66 percent of their shots. They hit 38 field goals and missed just 20..
Anderson spread the wealth, with six players scoring eight or more points, topped by 19 from Ania Daniels. Daniels had missed starting a couple of games due to illness but this time she made the opposition sick. Almost everything that left her hand ended up in the net as she hit 9-of-11 from the field.
"She's very efficient," said Cook in a classic understated compliment. "She was knocking down those short jumpers."
Daniels got those inside shots because the offense was running at such a high level. Nearly every time down the court Anderson was taking its time and making that extra pass. Very few times did it settle for just any shot.
"We were very unselfish," said Cook. "I had been talking to them that they were good enough to be patient."
Chelsea Bentley and Da'Sha Boyd each scored 14 points. Dabriona Williams and Kez'Anique Gosha each contributed 10 and Shantez Goolsby chipped in with eight.
Defensively, the Lady Tribe showed a different side as well. Instead of applying full-court pressure and not allowing the foe to breathe, they played half-court defense with quickness and intelligence. Richmond freshman Destiny Perkins had a game she will love to forget. She had regularly been scoring over 20 points for the Devils. This time she had six, hitting 1-of-14 from the field.

This week's Missouri Valley Football Conference players of the week are QB Kurt Hess of Youngstown State; LB T.J. Lally of South Dakota State and RS Carlos Anderson of UNI.
QB Kurt Hess, Youngstown State
Jr., 6-3, 230, Dayton (Ohio) Chaminade-Julienne
Hess completed 20-of-28 passes for 290 yards and four touchdowns in the Penguins' come-from-behind win over UNI. It was YSU's first win over the Panthers since 2000. Hess had two first-half touchdown passes and added two in the second half, including the game-winner with 1:50 left. In the first half, he had scoring throws of 25 and 38 yards. In the second half, he threw a 43-yarder and found Christian Bryan on a 26-yard score on third-and-three play with 1:50 remaining. Hess was 6-of-7 in the fourth quarter for 77 yards and a perfect 3-of-3 for 49 yards on the final drive of the game.
LB T.J. Lally, South Dakota State
6-0, 225, R-Fr., Chicago (Ill.) Marmion Academy
Lally recorded 10 tackles, including a half-tackle for loss, and added an interception and two more pass breakups as South Dakota State opened league action with a 24-10 victory at No. 22 Indiana State on Sept. 22. For the game, SDSU held Indiana State to 23 net yards rushing on 25 attempts. The Jackrabbits limited Walter Payton Award candidate Shakir Bell to 54 yards on 18 carries and, other than on a fake punt, did not allow a rushing play of more than five yards.
RS/RB Carlos Anderson, UNI
5-8, 172, Sr,. Blue Springs (Mo.) High
Anderson had a huge game on special teams for the Panthers against Youngstown State racking up 176 yards off of kick-off returns. The 176 yards are the most in the league this season. He had returns of 22 and 31 yards in the first quarter -- his first return setting up a UNI touchdown. In the third quarter, YSU tied up the score 28-28, but off the kick-off Anderson tore and fought for every yard of his 23-yard return to set up the Panthers with good field position and late in the fourth quarter after YSU took the lead, Anderson was able to break free for another large gain off the kick-off notching a 33-yard gain.
T.J. Lally, South Dakota State

Via Al Yellon we discover that Major League Baseball really Seliged* the World Series schedule this year. From Business Insider:
If the World Series goes seven games, four of the games will compete head-to-head with an NFL game, a fifth game will go up against college football games, and game seven would compete with a major holiday in which people leave their houses at night.
That's a formula for a ratings disaster.
On the other hand, if MLB had started the season and the World Series just one day earlier, only one game would have gone head-to-head with the NFL, one game would go up against college football, and game seven would have been the day before Halloween.
There's also a handy chart detailing all this. Basically, if your goal was to draw the smallest possible viewing audience for the World Series, you could hardly do better than this year's schedule.
All hail the glorious Commissioner-for-life!
* Rob: What?
Jason: Seliged it. It's just this thing people say around the office. Like when you screw something up in a really irreversible way, you "Seliged" it. I don't know where it comes from though ... Hey, do you think it came from Bud Selig?
Rob: I don't know. Who knows how words are formed?

Professional Cricketers' Association statement
– Angus Porter, PCA Chief Executive
We, along with Surrey CCC, Glamorgan CCC and the ECB have supported everyone impacted both directly and indirectly by Tom's death, collectively with bereavement counselling, and individually where necessary.
Amongst the headlines which will inevitably be generated by the inquest findings, consideration must now be given to the Maynard family who are experiencing a further wave of tragedy. We must all now move forward and remember Tom as a tremendously talented young man who had so much to look forward to. We must focus on building a positive legacy in his memory.

Had this on tap at Roti's House in Maihama, Tokyo. Poured into a tulip glass. Cloudy brown pale ale with a thin white head. Beautiful aroma of hops and nuts coming off this beer -- surprising for a pale ale! Went down smoothly with a bit of caramel in the aftertaste. Overall, I thought this was a great pale ale, and if you are a session drinker, this would be great even for a few pints in a row. Get this if you can!

text: The NCAA announced their APR (Academic Progress Rate) Awards. It is given to the top 10% of teams in each sport. BSU was awarded for the 2009-2010 year. I did a search for the dUI, but alas, they were not recognized for their "high academic standards" for the football team. I was going to see if the NCAA gave awards for the most keggers as I am sure they would have won that one. Anyways, good job coach pete and all the staff for a job well done.

The first preview of Lenny Kravitz as Cinna in "The Hunger Games" has hit the Web on March 7.
The rock star plays a fan-favorite character named Cinna, the stylist of the film's main character, Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence. Cinna creates show-stopping designs for Katniss leading up to the Hunger Games.
The characters live in a post-apocalyptic North America, which is now called Panem. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event put on by the government in Capitol city, where a boy and a girl from each of the 13 districts fight to the death.
The clip shows the first time Cinna and Katniss meet. It can be seen below.
"When I saw Lenny's work in 'Precious' I was just knocked out. It was quiet and strong and understated and open hearted; all qualities which define this character," director Gary Ross said in a statement on Monday, May 23, when Kravitz's casting was first announced. "I'm really looking forward to this ride."
Kravitz, 47, was previously seen in the film "Precious." He also appeared in "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" and "Zoolander." He's a Grammy-winning musician, known for songs such as "Fly Away." His ninth studio album, "Black and White America," was released in August. In November, the singer and musician received a top award in France, the Legion of Honor.
"The Hunger Games" hits theaters on March 23, 2012. Check out the clip of Lenny Kravitz and the trailer below.

Comments about Pro Tec ProPac Contoured Bari Saxophone Case:
I got it yesterday. Appears very well made, like my other Pro Tec bags. Nice, sturdy shoulder strap. Very light for the size of the bag. Well padded inside. It comes with a neck pouch, though the neck is held in by friction. A strap of velcro over the opening would help that part. My Conn 12M, low Bb fits a bit loose, end-to-end, and I can feel it slide an inch or two when the case is tipped. I will fix this with some additional padding. If this was as good a fit as my Alto Pro Pacs, it would be a 5-star review.

Non-league weekend preview
12:10pm Friday 22nd February 2013 in Sport
COLNE midfielder Michael Morrison will be out of action for six months as a result of the broken leg he suffered in midweek – but his team-mates will try to lift the mood around the XLCR Stadium tomorrow and get back on the promotion track when they face AFC Liverpool.
The 28-year-old was hospitalised on Tuesday after being hurt in a 50/50 challenge with Barnoldswick's Mark Threlfall and to add to Colne's woe, Reds' old boy Threlfall went on to score a last-gasp goal to seal a 1-0 North West Counties League Premier Division win.
Threlfall says he is gutted about Morrison's injury, which caused a 24-minute hold up to the derby, and admitted Tuesday gave him both the highs and lows of the game.
"Returning to your old club to score a 90th minute winner was a definite high," said Threlfall.
"But the lowest moment I've had on a football pitch was when I was on the ground next to Michael after the 50/50 tackle and he said 'I've broken my leg'. I would never wish that upon anyone and would never go out to hurt anyone intentionally."
The defeat – Colne's second on the spin – saw them drop down to seventh spot in a tight top flight table and the Reds are eager to get back to winning ways when they welcome the Merseysiders to Pendle.
A win could see Nigel Coates men climb into third depending on other results but they face plenty of local opposition at the top end with Padiham third and Barnoldswick sixth.
Padiham are at lowly St Helens Town tomorrow, while there should be a cracking atmosphere at the Silentnight Stadium as Barlick host well-supported Glossop North End.
Cup kings Bacup got back to winning ways in the league at Blackpool on Tuesday and will look to climb further away from the drop zone when they host Ashton Athletic, while in the First Division Nelson bid to follow up Tuesday's draw at Rochdale Town with three points at Formby.
AFC Darwen are still at the top of the table, three points ahead of Abbey Hey, and a win over Oldham Boro is crucial for Kenny Langford's men. Hey have two games in hand on the Salmoners and Langford is determined to see his men hit their straps as they chase promotion.
"Our league performances over the last couple of games have not been brilliant but we have grinded out results and that's what good teams do," he said.
In the Evo-Stik League Premier Division Chorley bid for back-to-back wins when they travel to Buxton, while in the First Division North both Ramsbottom United and Clitheroe aim to stay on the play-off course.
The Rams welcome Goole to The Riverside, while Clitheroe travel to Burscough.

Melancholy And Some Changes
Posted by William Kristoph
1.a gloomy state of mind, esp. when habitual or prolonged; depression.
2.sober thoughtfulness; pensiveness.
a.the condition of having too much black bile, considered in ancient and medieval medicine to cause gloominess and depression.b.black bile.
- I'm NOT going to be a blatant "homer" at any time. I'm NOT going to get down on the Noles just because it's the new fad. For instance, I like Jimbo Fisher and I think he will be a great Head Coach at FSU, but most of us need to get over the honeymoon and set our expectations at a more realistic level. The landscape of college football changed significantly over the last decade, but FSU fans' expectations did not.
- I'm NOT going to get into a statistics battle with Tomahawk Nation, no matter how many times it is suggested to me. Tomahawk Nation does statistical analysis better than me. DUH. I strongly suggest you check out many of their posts if you are into statistics and analysis.
- I'm NOT going worry about a "hard" posting schedule any more. I've had far too many arguments about this with other bloggers and contributors in the past. A schedule makes me rush things out before they're ready. Now I'm using the old game developer release date, "When it's ready." I'll post when a post is ready, not when it's half ready.
- I'm NOT going to add more writers. Those that are here already will continue to remain here until they choose to leave. I no longer have plans to add additional writers to the site.
- I'm going to link to more interesting stuff. There is a ton of FSU news out there, if I find it interesting I'll toss in some more links here on the site.
- I'm going to answer comments. I think I've been pretty good about that and I'll continue to do that. I think most comments deserve a response, especially since the commenting traffic here isn't very high.
- I'm still going to say what's on my mind. What's on my mind might change from day to day. It might be loosely related to FSU. It might be funny or serious. We'll see.
- I'm still going to talk about FSU Softball. I like it. In fact, I like it more than FSU Baseball. I just attend more FSU Baseball games because I pay to attend them.
- I'm forcing comments to have a name and an email address. I can't respond properly to a comment (via email, instead of publicly) if an anonymous user doesn't leave me his or her information. I still don't require registration with the site to comment, but a name and email address are necessary now.
- I'm going to keep writing, even if nobody reads it. ;-)

The next time you vote in Sioux City, children might not be in class. The city has 28 polling places, with 13 in schools.
Under a new proposal Woodbury County auditor Pat Gill says the county is discussing with school superintendent Dr. Paul Gausman, Election Day would become an "in-service" day for schools.
Gill has attended several seminars about moving voting outside of schools. Several parents have approached him about changing the way elections are held. Gill says safety isn't the only concern inside the schools, but in the parking lots, too.
"It gets pretty crazy in the mornings, when folks are dropping their children off at school and people are trying to go in there and vote at the same time," said Pat Gill, Woodbury County auditor.
Gill says one issue that's still being ironed out is determining whether schools that aren't used as polling sites would remain open on election days.
The first time the rule could potentially go into effect would be in 2014

With the Arizona Fall League beginning play on the 13th, there is little to talk about today. The Tigres de Aragua roster is set for this Winter's Venezuelan League which begins this weekend. Twins players on their roster include pitchers Jhon Garcia, Edgar Ibarra, Frank Mata, Josie Mijares, Miguel Munoz, Oswaldo Sosa and former Twin Yohan Pino. Wilson Ramos is also on the roster. Aragua hosted Margarita last night, however, the boxscore isn't posted yet this morning. Wilson Ramos was also selected by Baseball America as their eighth ranked Eastern League prospect, a move that will move Ramos up to my second ranked player following my final adjustments.
Now on to the ranking of the top ten second basemen in the organization. Again it is important to mention that these are not prospect rankings, rather based on how they performed in the organization during the 2009 season.
At Number 10 is the GCL Twins second baseman, Hyeong-rok Choi. Choi was the 91st ranked player in 2008 when he hit .235/.309/.318 in 85 at bats for the GCL Twins. Choi, who turned 20 this August, returned to the GCL Twins for a second season as a much improved player, hitting .279/.359/.405 in 111 at bats. Choi, who is one of two players from South Korea who came to the Twins organization a couple years ago, ranked as the 64th best player this year and should move up to Elizabethton next summer.
The ninth ranked second baseman is Beloit's Andrew Thompson who was drafted in the second round of the 2006 draft. Thompson was my 33rd ranked player in 2006 when he was an all-star for the Beloit Snappers. Unfortunately, Thompson had a stress fracture in his back late in the 2006 season which caused him to miss all of 2007 and 2008. Andrew continued to work hard on his rehab and just being able to get back on the field had to be a rewarding accomplishment. The number that was important for Drew this summer wasn't .242/.325/.364, it was playing in 91 games with 302 at bats back at Beloit. Ranked as my 59th ranked player, the question is whether or not he will be able to again become a top prospect. Only time will tell!
The Twins drafted Derek McCallum in the fourth round of this year's draft out of the University of Minnesota. McCallum, who was one of the nation's best hitting second basemen, began his Twins career at Elizabethton where he hit .241/.310/.382 in 228 at bats with five home runs. His performance in the Appy League ranked him as the organization's 51st ranked player and eighth best second baseman.
Nick Romero was the 44th ranked player following a 2008 season when he hit .274/.338/.442 in 197 at bats with 7 home runs for the Elizabethton Twins. The Twins fifth round pick in the 2008 draft moved up a level this year to Beloit with another move to Ft. Myers during the season. Drafted as a third baseman, Romero played mostly second base for the Miracle where he hit .247/.358/.370 in 235 at bats. Romero hit .222/.286/.349 in 108 at bats for the Snappers which earned him my #49 ranking and seventh best second baseman.
The sixth ranked second baseman is a 20 year old player from Australia who had an exciting year that began in the WBC and ended in the World Cup. In between those two tournaments, James Beresford was one of the Beloit Snappers best hitters at .289/.342/.313 in 450 at bats with 15 stolen bases in 26 attempts. His play at Beloit earned him my #44 ranking which is one of the biggest moves in the rankings following his #85 ranking last season when he hit .246/.345/.285 in 179 at bats for Elizabethton.
We are all very familiar with my fifth ranked second baseman, Matt Tolbert. Following a 2008 season that began with the Twins before an extended stay on the disabled list, Tolbert spent much of 2009 moving between the Twins and Rochester. While with the Wings, Tolbert hit .288/.331/.424 in 236 at bats following a terrible start when he hit only .194/.289/.284 in 67 April at bats. Tolbert hit .307/.336/.457 following the All-Star game to earn his late season callup that led to a starting role in the playoffs. Tolbert's play with the Red Wings this summer ranked him as my 21st best player in the organization.
The fourth ranked second baseman is Steven Tolleson who began his season with a disappointing return to New Britain for a second season. After hitting .300/.382/.466 in 343 at bats at New Britain in 2008, Tolleson was one of the top hitters in the AFL last year when he hit .383/.449/.543 in 94 at bats. Tolleson was my 8th ranked player in 2008, however, his disappointing start at New Britain (hitting .258/.343/.391 in 151 at bats) caused him to move down nine spots to #17 this year. Tolleson did get a promotion to Rochester in late May where he hit .270/.338/.375 in 352 at bats. Although he is primarily a second baseman, Rochester's depth of middle infielders caused Stan Cliburn to play Tolleson at second, shortstop, third base, left field and even a few games in centerfield.
Coming in as the third ranked second baseman in the organization is Steven Singleton. Singleton, who was ranked #16 overall this season following a #18 ranking last year, moved up to New Britain following a solid start at Ft. Myers where he hit .269/.329/.424 in 297 at bats. Singleton was one of the Rock Cats top hitters following his promotion, hitting .291/.319/.418 in 158 at bats which earned him an assigment to this fall's AFL. This year followed the same format as last year when Singleton began at Beloit, hitting .302/.348/.421 in 235 at bats before moving up to Ft. Myers where he hit .295/.371/.452 in 241 at bats. An eleventh round pick from the 2006 draft, Singleton appears to be only a year or so away from taking that final step all prospects dream of.
The second ranked second baseman this year (ranked #11 overall) is Alexi Casilla who alternated with Matt Tolbert with one up with the Twins while the other was in Rochester. Casilla put up huge numbers this year at Rochester, hitting .340/.379/.449 in 156 at bats while disappointing the Twins while in Minnesota. Much has been written about Casilla's strengths and weaknesses, however, his play in Rochester clearly stated that he doesn't need to spend any more time in the minors. Whether he will be with the Twins is another quesiton that only Ron Gardenhire and Bill Smith can answer.
The top ranked second baseman is New Britain all-star Brian Dinkelman. Dinkelman was the 20th ranked player in 2008 following a supurb season when he hit .293/.399/.414 in 232 at bats at Ft. Myers followed by hitting .247/.299/.369 in 198 at bats in New Britain. Brian returned to New Britain this year where he was one of the league's best hitters at .296/.383/.440 in 459 at bats with 8 home runs to move him up 16 spots to my #4 overall ranking. Equally important was Dinkelman's excellent defensive play as he committed only 7 errors in 129 games.
Whereas catcher and first base are the Twins strongest two positions manned by MVP caliber players with future stars a couple levels away in the minors, second base has been a headache that has plagued the big league club for years. After his solid late season play, Nick Punto likely is penciled in as the regular next season. There are several candidates who can compete with Punto or serve as backups, including Matt Tolbert and Alexi Casilla. The bigger question is whether or not there is a long-term replacement to Punto in 2011 or beyond? Another question is whether or not that prospect can become a better than average major league second baseman? Dinkelman appears to have the most potential of eventually becoming that player, however, several others could take a big step next year to put their names into the mix in 2011. Although he won't be ready in spring, 2011, keep your eyes on James Beresford who just may develop into that second baseman the Twins have been searching for all these years!

Sunny is a freelance commentator, contributing regularly to The Guardian. He has also written several times for The Independent, The Times and other national newspapers. Mostly he writes about identity politics. He runs Pickled Politics and Liberal Conspiracy, and also blogs at The F Word
What made you decide to start blogging?
It started off with annoyance at the way people who talked about racism, religious extremism seemed to be constantly in the extremes. Either the world was full of racists, or there was no racism at all. I felt there was a space in the middle that wasn't being explored. And I wanted to have a more intelligent discussion around identity politics, taking issue with 'community leaders' as well as their opponents.
What is your best blogging experience?
It's difficult to pinpoint one experience as such. However, there's been a few things that have come out of my blogging which has helped me immensely. One was that the Guardian started noticing my writing and offered me space to write for Comment is Free. The other was that my thoughts and ideas sharpened to the point where we put together a 'manifesto' (New Generation Network) attacking the idea of community leaders. Pretty soon after that happened (Nov 2006), the whole model started collapsing. So I was particularly proud to be able to shift the discussion on race issues that way.
And your worst?
I've been threatened with libel a few times, including most notably by Guido Fawkes. That's never a pleasant experience. I also used to get easily annoyed by people misrepresenting what I said and saying I was a racist etc
What do you regard as your best blog entry?
Honestly, it's difficult to say. I blog so much that its difficult to rate them or even remember them. Sometimes I write a blog entry quickly without much thought and it rated highly by readers, and sometimes it drops like a lead balloon. I'm proud of some of the articles I wrote during the Obama campaign for CIF on how race politics affected his campaign.
Favourite blogs?
Too many to mention. I love the cynicism that infects most British left-wing blogs, particularly Justin McKeating's Chicken Yoghurt (www.chickyog.com) and septicisle (www.obsolete.info) but I also admire Tim Ireland (www.bloggerheads.com) and Unity's (www.ministryoftruth.me.uk) dogged investigation into stories most people wouldn't bother chasing up.
I love reading the F Word blog (www.thefword.org.uk/blog), Penny Red (pennyred.blogospot.com), Bleeding Heart Show (bleedingheartshow.wordpress.com) and Though Cowards Flinch (www.thoughcowardsflinch.com). I love the Boris blogs like Tory Troll (torytroll.blogspot.com), BorisWatch(.co.uk) and Dave Hill (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/davehillblog).
but I mostly admire American blogs because they do so much interesting reporting and aggregation and discussion. Of these, I guess TalkingPointsMemo is probably my favourite, though DailyKos comes close for its energy and reach.
Pickled Politics is described as a blogging magazine. How has it developed in the past four years?
I think it's developed mostly with its arguments rather than a platform in itself. I did try and expand it by having 'diaries' but that proved too cumbersome. But in terms of editorial direction the site has changed along with the political climate... and I've sharpened arguments on there that have then spilled out into other projects.
Now that Barack Obama is President of the United States, what sort of changes do you think we will see with regards to the balance of left/right politics?
I think there will be some fractious debates on the left with a group supporting Obama, pragmatically, even over unpopular policies, and others taking a more cynical view.
But on the whole, it's a good time for leftwing policies since Obama has already passed through some good laws supporting unions, the environment, feminism and more. There's no doubt that even if Cameron does come into power, he can't veer too far into a right-wing agenda.
Can you see any damage to the BBC's impartiality if they broadcast the Gaza appeal?
No, I think they should have broadcast it, as they have with appeals in the past.
Is there anywhere abroad which you haven't been to, that you would like to visit?
The Middle East, mostly, and South America. I end up just going to South Asia or the USA most of the time, which isn't broadening my horizons much right now...
Is there anywhere abroad you have visited, that you would love to revisit?
I love keep going back to India and backpacking around. There's so much to see.
Do you have a favourite political figure in history?
I don't think I have a particular figure in history, though I do like to appreciate different ones. Mostly from the Indian independence struggle and older Indian history (which I've studied the best)..
Which figure has been your greatest inspiration?
Obama. I think it's underappreciated how skillful a politician he is - overshadowed by how much he inspires people. I worked on his campaign and I can appreciate how well conceived that operation was. Truly inspirational, in terms of politics.
Favourite Bond movie?
Favourite Doctor Who?
You know, I used to love the books but never really got into the television series unfortunately.
Chocolate, vanilla, or mint?
Which Band, past or present, would you most like to see in concert?
Mmm.. not really big into concerts. It would probably be a hip-hop concert though.
In terms of visiting for the weekend, Oxford, Cambridge, or Barsby, Leics..?
I'll opt for Oxford since I've never been to Barsby, Cambridge is ok, and Leicester is just... well, less said the better.
Favourite national newspaper?
The New York Times.
If you mean just for the UK, then the Guardian.
What would you say your hobbies were?
Riding my motorbike, reading, playing poker, planning and scheming, writing, and erm, blogging (I'm not earning money from it, so it must be a hobby!).
And what would you say were your three favourite songs and three favourite books (Bar the Bible and The Complete Works of Shakespeare)?
I don't have three favourite songs, I have hundreds, depending on the mood. So I'll give you more books instead...
The Dice Man,
No Logo,
Crashing the Gate,

See also Spectator's coverage of Dershowitz's speech.
Painting the world in stark dichotomies, famed linguist Noam Chomsky explained the Israel-Palestine conflict in simple terms to a crowded audience in LeFrak Gym: "Israeli Jews are people and Palestinians are 'unpeople.'"
Sponsored by the Center for Palestine Studies at Columbia University, Chomsky's speech "America and Israel-Palestine: War and Peace" was a harsh critique of American foreign policy in Israel. Professor of Linguistics Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Chomsky is one of the foremost American intellectuals to speak against American foreign policy concerning Israel and Palestine.
In a speech that read like a laundry list of Israeli-Palestinian history, he returned to the people/unpeople theme many times to explain Israel's treatment of Palestinians and America's acquiescence.
"Remember, these are all 'unpeople,'" he said. "So naturally, no one cares."
In addition to his psychological analysis, Chomsky focused on what he considers to be the greatest obstacle to moving forward in the peace process: the United States. The United States is one of Israel's last allies, offering political and financial support to the country despite decades of criticism from the international community.
"Israel offers a lot to the United States," Chomsky said, referring to American investments in Israel—especially in military capital and military technology—and its role as a strategic American ally in the Middle East. He also referred to "cultural" similarities, saying that both the United States and Israel share a history of removing indigenous peoples from their lands. "We did it, so it's got to be right. Jews are doing it, so it's got to be right," he said.
In the end, Chomsky said there are two simple options: that things continue the way they are or Israel and the United States allow for a two-state solution.
"If you're opposed to a two-state settlement at this point, you're telling the Palestinians to get lost," he said. "Of all the problems in the world, this has to be the easiest to solve," he said.
Following his speech, questions ranged from aggressive attacks on his political positions to practical inquiries about the details of his proposal for peace.
One student challenged Chomsky's claim that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak walked away from a peace settlement during the 2000 Camp David Accords, saying it was Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat who refused Barak's offer to give Palestinians all of Gaza and most of the West Bank. But Chomsky said that the terms of the agreement were unworkable from the beginning. "Clinton recognized that no Palestinian, no Arab, would ever accept the terms that they proposed," he said. "There's no need to discuss it."
He also questioned the veracity of many students' facts. "There is an official story, which is true, but like most official stories, it falls apart quickly if you look at the facts," he added.
Despite enthusiastic applause through much of his talk, Chomsky's wording attracted a crowd of mixed opinions.
"When he says 'unpeople,' what he means the audience to understand is racism," said Ryan Arant, SIPA. "But what I think he's describing are traditional power dynamics between the powerful and the powerless."
"There are real things to talk about," Arant added. "But calling Israel and the West racist is not one of them."
But others considered the event a valuable learning experience.
"It was a good way to get a view of it from a well-informed source," said Yaas Bigdeli, SEAS '14. "I was impressed," she said, adding that she was drawn to Chomsky by his fame and a desire to learn about the Israel-Palestine conflict.
But as Bigdeli noted, the notably dry Chomsky did end on a positive note.
"I think it's kind of optimistic," he said. "Because it means that the future is in our hands."
I believe that Professor Chomsky's comments are a conservative and understated picture of the situation that Palestinians face today. They cannot budge for more than a few miles in any direction. Gaza is a bombed-out wasteland packed with a blockaded people. Is it any wonder that Columbia just finished a Palestine solidarity conference which pushed for divestment, boycott, and sanctions against Israel?
Video on the panic that boycott is causing:
Boycott is a very peaceful response to a very violent occupation.
"informed source"? look at the references he makes in his books... quotes from Al-Jazeera reporters posted as truth while dismissing respectable historians who doesn't fall into his way of thinking.
He's definitely a brilliant man in the field of linguistics... his political agenda however is far from being "informed" or anything but simple hatred to the country his father came from (maybe there's a connection here, many immigrants have some load of hatred to their origin countries because their lives there weren't as easy as they expected).
N.B. dont_buy_the_bs: Noam Chomsky's father was born way before the state of Israel was formed so he couldn't have been born there (he was actually from a part of the Ukraine that was then part of Russia). I don't know if Chomsky hates the country of his father (that would be the Ukraine) but like me I know he hates injustice.
For those interested in what Chomsky actually said, a video of part of the talk he gave at Barnard is here: http://www.democracynow.org/20...
