Q&A with Shauna Alexander Mohr, co-founder of fair-trade jewelry store, Lucina
|| Print |
|Thursday, March 01, 2007
PORTLAND — Shauna Alexander Mohr, president and co-founder of Lucina, an online fair-trade jewelry company, believes consumers should know the history of each product they purchase. You won't find any so-called conflict stones in Lucina's collections, nor will designers scratch their heads when asked about the origins of jewelry components. Instead, the year-old company focuses on telling the stories behind the products.

Long known for having neither, the Cayman Islands are set to introduce both taxes and regulations for the thousands of hedge funds registered there.
Caymanian Premier McKeeva Bush last week unveiled the broad strokes of the British overseas territory's budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1. It includes an annual fee on some hedge funds domiciled in the country.
Hedge funds covered by the fee—Bush was short on details, promising to deliver the full budget to the Caymans Legislative Assembly shortly—would pay CI$1,500 (US$1,800). The C$4.5 million raised by the measure—the only revenue-raising measure in Bush's budget—would be used to pay rebates to islanders to offset their electric bills.
"This summer's just beginning and from what I can see in electrical bills, it's going to be a long, hot summer," Bush explained.
The new levy coincides with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority's first hedge fund regulations. Bush has said that neither measure will adversely affect the Caymans' position as a financial center.

The Nissan S13 200sx (180sx on import) was produced from '89 to '94, powered by a 1.8 turbo engine producing 169 bhp through the rear wheels, hauling it to 60 in 6.7 seconds and onto 137mph. While 169 from a 1.8 turbo looks apauling next to a 160bhp 1.6 VTEC the tuning potential is massive in terms of affordable speed. Norris Designs started out tuning this car and now have a 400+bhp beast with 60mph popping up in a shade over 4 seconds.

Heavy snow causes chaos on GTA roads
Snow has caused chaos on the roads as dozens of weather-related collisions have been reported throughout the Greater Toronto Area. Toronto has issued an extreme cold weather alert, as temperatures are expected to dip to -15 C overnight.

Snow has caused chaos on the roads as dozens of weather-related collisions were reported throughout the Greater Toronto Area Saturday.
Peel, Toronto and York police officers rushed to the scene of multiple car accidents throughout the day. One collision in Richmond Hill sent a 4-year-old to hospital Saturday afternoon.
Toronto police Const. Clint Stibbe is cautioning motorists to drive slowly and to give themselves extra space.
Early Saturday morning, the City of Toronto issued an extreme cold weather alert, which was cancelled Sunday morning.
The snow also stalled air travel. More than 50 flights were cancelled at Pearson International Airport and Air Canada has issued a travel alert to customers.
The cold weather warning came one day after close to 40 protesters were briefly arrested at city hall and ticketed for trespassing. Protesters gathered Friday to bring attention to what they say is a shortage of shelter beds in Toronto.
"We're not going to live in a city where human life is lost on the streets to social abandonment and neglect, it's going to be challenged," Ontario Coalition Against Poverty spokesman John Clarke told reporters.
This was the city's seventh extreme cold weather alert this year. The last was on Feb. 8.

Foreign interest in old cheese factory
Relevant offers
Commercial Property
Overseas parties interested in making cheese or long-life milk are among those eyeing a former cheese factory and coolstore for sale in Kerepehi on the Hauraki Plains.
Bayleys Hamilton manager commercial and industrial Jim McKinlay said inquiries from China dairy interests were among a "good early response" to the marketing of the Town Rd property, once owned by the former New Zealand Dairy Group that was absorbed in the creation of Fonterra.
Built in 1980, the property was at the time a state-of-the-art factory, and is capable of being recommissioned to the same, or related, use, McKinlay said.
Tanner Sawmills is now the owner of the site.
The plant is on a separate 2-hectare title to the rest of Tanner's property next door.
The capital valuation is $680,000 and the site zoning is industrial.
McKinlay said other inquiries have included food and petfood manufacturers and parties that just want the cool stores. The two-storey plant includes a laboratory, offices, reception, staff/board room and kitchen.
The property is being offered for sale by tender that closes on May 30.

The house is located in a neighborhood at the entrance of the Beech Mountain Ski resort. Don't want to drive far for supplies?? Fast Eddies is in the shopping area at the entrance of the neighborhood. I would suggest an all wheel or 4 wheel drive vehicle for sure."Guest: Jamie P.

The city is expecting a $1.9 million direct impact from the upcoming season of indoor track and field events.
For the first three months of the year, the city is expecting to see 4,700 attendees, who will bring $7.3 million, to the city during events such as the USA Track & Field Championships in February and the NCAA Division 1 Indoor Track & Field Championships in March.
"It's really exciting to see these events taking place in our city," said Mayor Richard J. Berry. "Albuquerque has now established a reputation as a premier site for world class track and field competitions. The revenues being generated within our community through these events have an incredibly positive impact on our economy, and help sustain and create jobs within the hospitality industry."
The city owns a state-of-the-art indoor track that is housed at the Albuquerque Convention center. Both the USATF and the NCAA events will be nationally televised.
Tickets are available for the events can be obtained by clicking here.

The house reveals its true temperament when it is seen from among the gravestones of the upper section of Highgate Cemetery; the building opens up to the lush and sprawling graveyard through glazing and elevated balconies. Elliot House replaced a building which was constructed in the 1970s, which was found to be at risk of structural failure. The site was originally sold off by the cemetery many years ago; the graveyard is home to Karl Marx, Christina Rossetti, George Eliot and the graves of many other writers and artists. The gothic character was amplified after becoming abandoned and overgrown in the 1970s; today, it is in the hands of the Friends of Highgate Cemetery. Furthermore, during the construction procedure and the uncluttering of the cemetery, Elliot discovered that the grave of his own great grandfather – who he always assumed had been buried in Scotland – was just thirty feet away! Elliott House is a four storey building which has been designed on a slope; it takes full advantage of the sloping landscape and maximizes the linkages with the graveyards landscape by arranging the program of the house. By doing so, Eldridge-Smerin Architects have placed the main living spaces on the last floor. The main living quarters consist of both communal and private spaces; an open plan kitchen and dining area which features a retractable roof, but also opens up to a furnished balcony, a study and a master bedroom are also situated on the upper floor, creating an autonomous living area for travel photographer Richard Elliott. The other floors are mainly used by Elliott's visitors, a large living room on the second floor with large openings that reach out to the landscape, guest bedrooms on the first floor, and a home cinema in the basement.

IRS finalizes new tax for medical devices in healthcare law
Reuters, December 6, 2012
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service on Wednesday released final rules for a new tax on medical devices, products ranging from surgical sutures to knee replacement implants, that starts next year as part of President Barack Obama's 2010 healthcare law. The 2.3-percent tax must be paid, effective after December 31, by device-makers on their gross sales. The tax is expected to raise $29 billion in government revenues through 2022. The tax applies mostly to devices used and implanted by medical professionals, including items as complex as pacemakers or as simple as tongue depressors.

Ontario should make bike helmets mandatory for all cyclists: Editorial
The Canadian Pediatric Society says research shows all ages would benefit from making bike helmets mandatory for all.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Kids may not care about "helmet hair" the way that certain, ahem, adults do. But when riding a bike, especially on Toronto streets, there's nothing more important to safety than a properly engineered helmet to help in those unexpected moments when the head, not the rubber, hits the road. After all, it's hard to have good hair while suffering from brain damage.
That's why Ontario should follow the latest recommendations of the Canadian Pediatric Society and require that all cyclists — not just young people under 18 — wear bike helmets. Even though the doctors are obviously focused on the care of children, their society's position paper argues that new legislation is needed for adults because bike-related head injuries affect people of all ages. It's right, of course.
Transportation Minister Glen Murray should listen to the pediatricians. As Paola Loriggio reports in the Star, the society is calling for tighter safety regulations across the country, instead of the patchwork of rules currently in place. Indeed, only four provinces (British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island) require all cyclists to wear helmets. Ontario, along with Alberta and Manitoba, require it only of young people. Ontario should get moving on tougher regulations.
Murray should ignore those who will predictably argue against yet another intrusion by the "nanny state." Similar complaints were raised decades ago when the government of the day initiated seat-belt laws. Now, buckling up is as routine as checking the rear-view mirror and, as predicted, it has saved untold lives.
Like other medical experts, the pediatric society says helmets clearly decrease the risk of head injuries while cycling. While that may be rather obvious, the numbers tell the most important story. One study showed a risk reduction of 60 per cent in head and brain injuries and a 74-per-cent reduction in the risk of severe brain injuries, across all age groups. It's hard to argue against such effective results.
Clearly, imposing new – and uncomfortable – rules is never easy. There are some cyclists who believe that legislative action would steal their freedom to ride with the wind in their hair. In a way, they're right. But that freedom is outweighed by the clear advantage of saved lives.
The benefit of all-ages helmet legislation became abundantly clear last year when the Ontario coroner's office released a report on 129 recent cycling deaths. Almost 75 per cent of those who died were not wearing a helmet and 71 of them sustained a head injury that either caused or contributed to their deaths. That's a tragic waste of life.
The Ontario government did not take action last year. It should legislate mandatory helmets to save minds and lives. It's a no-brainer.

Hollywood animators reveal secrets in Armenia
Young Armenian animators had a chance to gain experience from Walt Disney, Warner Brothers and DreamWorks professionals.
Did you know that the authors of Shrek, the beloved animated comedy, could not bind two plot lines for a long time, that the script was written for over 3 years and that the 90-minute film was created on the basis of thin book with uninteresting plot?
September 14, 2010
PanARMENIAN.Net - This and many other stories were told in Yerevan by Hollywood masters - Max Howard and Frank Gladstone – on the sidelines of ReAnimania 2010 animated film festival.
During 4 days, 4 Armenian talents, who suggested the best ideas for the animation of future had a chance to gain experience from Walt Disney, Warner Brothers and DreamWorks professionals, whose lectures in Europe are welcome, even for a lot of money.
Young animators were told how to find a good story for a film, how to write the script and present it to producer in the best manner. They presented their project and then, following the advice of renowned animators, amended it and on the last training day.
"To make a producer buy your project you must present the plot of your future film in 2-5 minutes to attract his attention and interest him in continuation," Max Howard says.
"The 'pitch' must last no more than 5 minutes and the animator must know the answers to all questions that can be asked afterwards. If you don't have the answer for a question, it means that you have not completed your work yet. Phrases like 'it's hard to explain it' must not be used," Frank Gladstone adds.
The masters say that the author should always be ready for unexpected.
According to Howard, 3 components are important for a successful film, these being a realistic environment, good story and appealing heroes.
"When you present your story you must be the actor to make listeners to forget about everything. Sometimes it happens that a poor story is presented well and the film is given a green light. A correct approach is very important," he says.
In conclusion, the masters advise to watch films, specifically unloved ones, because mistakes of the others can teach a good lesson.
"It's the beginning of you creative life," they assure.

Life Lessons: Eat less packaged foods
Researchers have found that the synthetic chemicals used in food packaging and processing can leak into food and can lead to chronic, low-level ingestion of these substances over a lifetime.
Some, like BPA, can disrupt hormone production and balance.
Cardboard, cling wrap, and plastic packagings make grabbing a meal quick and easy.
How many foods do you eat each day that comes from some sort of package that could be putting you in danger?
It might be hard to eliminate them completely, but there are ways to cut down.
First, buy your favorite foods in bulk, which can be stored in glass containers at home.
This is a good option for buying what you need and reducing the number of products that sit in your cupboards.
Next, buy more loose produce.
You can avoid plastic by picking up some natural fiber, reusable mesh bags. They're machine washable, too.
A recent study shows that cutting packaged foods from your diet could reduce your blood levels of these chemicals by up to 90 percent in just three days.

The TinCaps coughed up an early three-run lead but didn't get rattled, defeating the Lake County Captains 7-5 in Eastlake, Ohio, on Friday night.
The TinCaps had an early 3-0 lead, but it had melted into a 4-3 deficit by the seventh inning.
Then, Fort Wayne (14-25 in the second half, 57-51 overall) took charge.
Alberth Martinez had a home run to tie it in the seventh. Luis Domoromo's RBI double in the eighth gave Fort Wayne the lead. And Gabriel Quintana and Domoromo drove in two more runs in the ninth.
Domoromo was 2 for 4 with two RBI against the Captains (19-21, 42-65). Quintana, Mallex Smith and Maxx Tissenbaum also had multiple hits.
Prior to their game, pitcher Joe Church was placed on the disabled list, making room for the now-healthy Roman Madrid, who got his 16th save.
The TinCaps have the maximum 25 players on their roster.

We've got some time to kill on a slow afternoon before tonight's game, so enjoy. I lost it once Heyman got involved.
The League Average Derek Jeter
On the afternoon of June 13th, Derek Jeter limped off the field in the fifth inning of an eventual loss to the Indians. The Cap'n had flown out to right to open the frame, but he appeared to hurt something coming out of the box and was replaced in the next half inning by Eduardo Nunez. At the time, Jeter was hitting .260/.324/.325 in 296 plate appearances, and the calf strain he suffered on the play would keep him on the shelf for just about three weeks.
Nunez filled in capably while Jeter was on the shelf, adding the kind of life and electricity to the shortstop position that the Yankees haven't had since 2009. The Yankees went 14-5 in Derek's absence, going from 2.5 games back in the AL East to 1.5 up. As great as Jeter has been for the Yankees, there was definitely a sense of dread immediately before his return, because we all knew that not only would his unproductive bat be back in the lineup every day, it would be in the leadoff spot getting more plate appearances than everyone else. We all knew this, except we were all wrong.
Since coming off the disabled list on Independence Day against the same Indians he faced on the day of his injury, Jeter has hit .326/.382/.457 in 154 plate appearances with the same number of extra base hits (12) as he had before the injury in almost half the trips to the plate. That has raised his season line to .283/.344/.370, a performance that is exactly league average in terms of wRC+. That's a top eight mark among full-time big league shortstops, an indication of how much Jeter has turned his season around and how weak the position is around the league. A 100 wRC+ at an up-the-middle position is pretty damn good.
"Staying back," said Jeter after last night's three hit (including a triple) effort. "Stay back better and obviously you're going to drive balls more. That's what I've been doing since I've been back, so I just want it to continue." Derek has been driving the ball with much more authority since coming back, as the increased rate of extra base hits suggests. As we tend to do with stuff like this, let's turn to the spray charts. First, it's pre-DL Jeter…
Almost everything he hit in the air went the other way or to center field. I count what, ten balls pulled into left (hits + outs)? That's out of 231 balls in play. The majority of his hits came on balls right back up the middle or filleted through the right side (remember, the points indicate where the defender fielded the ball, not where it landed). Now let's look at the post-DL spray chart…
This one is much more spread out. The majority of his balls in play are still to center and right, that's just the kind of hitter he is and always has been, but there's also way more balls pulled into left. I count 12 balls hit to the outfield on the pull side, including one right to the warning track and one actually over the fence. That's 12 balls to left in 115 balls in play after the DL stint versus ten in 231 before. It could be small sample size noise, but give how he's been actually driving the ball these last few weeks, I'm guessing there's something more to it than just coincidence.
Of course, we have to acknowledge that Jeter still does the vast majority of his damage against lefties (.500/.538/.750 in 39 PA) and is mediocre at best against righties (.265/.327/.353 in 115 PA). That's a similar split to his pre-DL performance (.299/.405/.403 vs. LHP and .246/.294/.297 vs. RHP) and last year as well (.321/.391/.481 vs. LHP and .216/.316/.317 vs. RHP). At his age, I think we're just going to have to accept the platoon split, which is made somewhat more tolerable because the best starters in the AL East are generally southpaws.
"You can get a lot more work in when you don't have to play games," said Jeter shortly after coming off the DL, referring to the work he did to stay back on the ball with rehabbing the calf. "So I sort of look at it as a blessing in disguise, I hope. I've felt good since I've been back." The Cap'n has been performing to his career averages for about six weeks now, bringing his overall season performance to the league average, which is both encouraging and refreshing.
Would Jorge have made a good backup catcher?
The Yankees made one thing clear early this past off-season: Jorge Posada was done as a catcher. Who would take over was anyone's guess, but the conclusion came with no ambiguities. Posada wouldn't even back up the new starter. Instead he'd slide into the full-time DH role, with the hope that a removal from the rigors of catching would keep him healthy and productive in the final year of his contract. The plan, as we've seen this season, didn't follow the script.
If Posada had his way, though, he wouldn't have shed the tools of ignorance. Instead, he would have moved into the backup role that Francisco Cervelli inhabits. As he told ESPN New York's Wallace Matthews, "I could have (caught) this year. I could have been a backup this year." The only question is of whether this arrangement would work out better than the current one.
In purely offensive terms, it certainly would. Cervelli, after producing serviceable numbers in 2010, has in 2011 hit in a manner you'd expect from a backup catcher. There's nothing wrong with that, since he is the backup, and it does appear that at least some of the pitchers on the staff — most notably CC Sabathia — like throwing to him. The problem is that we can't measure that value. We can measure offense, though, and in those terms Posada comes out with a distinct advantage.
The Yankees have started the backup catcher in 29 games this year, 27 for Cervelli and two for Gustavo Molina. In that time they have combined to produce 1.8 runs below average. Posada, in his 92 games, has produced 1.9 runs below average. That is, in more than three times the number of games he's been only 0.1 runs worse, meaning he'd be a ton better than the current backup catchers in those 29 games. (Some quick math puts Posada at 0.6 runs below average, using his 1.9 runs below average on a per-game basis.)
That leaves me with four questions, none we can answer with any certainty.
1) Would Posada have performed better, both at catcher and DH, if he had played behind the plate roughly 30 times?
2) Would Posada have remained healthy enough to stay behind the plate?
3) Would Posada, as the backup catcher, have started more than 30 times, therefore giving Russell Martin more time off and perhaps keeping him fresher and more effective?
4) What kind of effect would Posada have had on the pitching staff?
The first two questions can be answered only with guesses. Posada might have better career numbers as a catcher than as a DH, but those splits never tell the whole truth. How many of Posada's ABs as DH have come when he's been too banged up to catch? Wouldn't any nagging injury that prevents him from catching also affect him at the plate as he DHs? To the second question we might guess that he wouldn't remain healthy, since he hit the DL before catching 30 games in every season from 2008 through 2010. But again, that's just a guess.
Chances are, if he stayed healthy, the answer to No. 3 would be yes. Again, it's a guess, but I think it's a better guess than the first two. The Yankees clearly avoided using Gustavo Molina early in the season, leveraging off-days in order to play Russell Martin in almost every game until Cervelli's return. But Girardi almost certainly would have gone to Posada before he went to Molina, if only to keep Jorge sharp behind the plate. (Sharp being a relative term.) The other aspect of this answer plays into the next question, too.
It's tough to tell what kind of effect Jorge would have had on the pitching staff, because we don't have any reliable measure of such an effect. It is pretty clear, however, that Posada would not have started with either A.J. Burnett or Freddy Garcia on the mound. Both throw plenty of pitches in the dirt, and those would give the aged Posada trouble. That's the only thing that might have held him back from starting more often than Cervelli/Molina. He would have been essentially limited to starting with Nova, Hughes, Colon, and maybe Sabathia on the mound.
Since Jorge hasn't played the role of backup in over a decade, since we don't know how he'd hold up physically, and since we don't know how he'd affect the pitching staff, it's difficult to find a solid answer to the posed question. Offensively the arrangement surely would have worked better, at least to the tune of a run and perhaps more, if you think that Jorge would have hit better if he played the field. But again, that's an argument from theory with little usable evidence behind it. All we have to go on is speculation. Would Jorge have fit better with this team as the backup catcher, or would that have only led to more problems?
The Ever-Changing Bullpen
One of the best and worst things about baseball is that almost nothing goes according to plan. Not in a single game, not in a typical three-game series, and certainly not over the course of a full season. Players perform in a way other than expected (for better or for worse), guys get hurt, players get traded, all sorts of stuff happens. No roster entity is more volatile than the bullpen, which is basically just a collection of guys working from one small sample to the next.
When the season started, Mariano Rivera was being setup by Eighth Inning Guy™ Rafael Soriano and Joba Chamberlain in the seventh. David Robertson was the world's most overqualified sixth inning reliever, Boone Logan the shaky lefty specialist, Luis Ayala the extra guy, and Bartolo Colon the long man. Phil Hughes' suckiness and shoulder issues forced Colon into the rotation and brought a cache of spare part relievers to the Bronx: Lance Pendleton, Amaury Sanit, Buddy Carlyle … all made appearances at one time or another. Ayala's injury brought Hector Noesi into the fold.
Because of Soriano's early season ineffectiveness and eventual injury, Joba and Robertson moved up a rung on the bullpen totem pole. Both performed well, very well in fact, then all of a sudden Joba was down for a count with a torn elbow ligament that required season-ending Tommy John surgery. In the span of three weeks, the Yankees lost their two primary setup guys. Given the importance the team (or at least Joe Girardi) seems to place on these stupid bullpen inning assignments, you'd think the Yankees were headed for certain doom, but nope.
Robertson, even when Soriano and Joba were healthy, had developed into the best reliever in the American League (leads the league in fWAR), a legitimate All-Star with the second highest strikeout rate in baseball at 13.59 K/9 (min. 40 IP, second only to Craig Kimbrel's 14.11 K/9) and one of the lowest batting averages against (.179). His walk rate continues to improve as well, and is gradually approaching normalcy…
Since June 5th, the date of Joba's last appearance, Robertson has walked a total of seven batters unintentionally in 24.1 IP. That's a 2.59 uIBB/9. He's walked a batter in only five of those 25 appearances as well, so he's certainly gotten that part of his game under control. Robertson's been amazing, but he's only part of the story because of the rest of the bullpen fell into place behind him.
The Carlyles and Sanits and Pendletons of the world were replaced with Cory Wade, who's been so effective for the Yankees that both myself and Hannah wrote about him recently. Boone Logan has turned things around since a mid-June series in Cincinnati, improvement that has more to do with him dropping his arm slot just a bit (check out the release points) to get some more bite on his slider than it does some pep talk with Alex Rodriguez. Ayala is the "only in an emergency, last arm in the bullpen" kinda guy, and Noesi is the de facto long reliever. He should be starting in the minors, but that's another post for another time. Oh, and Soriano's back from his injury and pitching well, and has assumed seventh inning duties now. He's the Seventh Inning Guy™ now.
Other than the closer in the ninth inning, I hate the whole concept of assigning relievers to specific innings because the manager manages the game to arbitrary endpoints (why are outs 22-24 any different than 19-21?). I hope that at some point Soriano pitches well enough to take back the eighth inning, freeing up Girardi to be a little more liberal with his use of Robertson. Having him start an inning fresh with no outs and no one on base is pretty much a waste given his propensity to pitch out of jams. I think this is another post for another time as well, so let's leave it at that.
Anyway, the moral of the story is that once again, the bullpen is a dynamic entity over the course of a 162-game season, changing as needed to accommodate injury, poor performance, etc. Only three relievers (Robertson, Mo, and Logan) have spent the entire season on the active roster, everyone else (a total of 12 others relievers) has been either hurt, demoted, released, or all of the above. The Yankees started the year with a set formula, and now it's entirely different and probably even more effective than originally expected.
2011 Draft: Closing Thoughts
We can finally put a bow on the 2011 draft now that the signing deadline has passed, and according to Baseball America's draft database (no subs. req'd), the Yankees signed just 22 of their 50 selections. That assumes the Chaz Hebert and Joey Maher report is correct but BA is still in the process of updating their info. A typical signing class is usually 30 players or so, maybe 35 in a good year, so the Yankees are a bit below that. It's possible that some signings just haven't been reported yet, especially some of the lesser prospects, but I can't imagine it's more than two or three guys, maybe five at the most.
The actual draft, all 50 rounds, is just step one of the process. Getting the kids under contract is another matter entirely, and now that we know who did and who didn't sign on the dotted line, we can get a much clearer picture of the kind of talent the Yankees imported this year. Let's digest it all…
- Based on the info in Baseball America's advanced database (subs. req'd), the Yankees spent at least $5.6225M on this year's draft. That's all the over-slot signings, but does not include Hebert, Maher, and seven others. Let's round up and call it an even $6M. Compared to the last few years, when they spent around $7-8M, that's light. I'd happily take one less brand name LOOGY per year if it meant pumping another $2-4M into the draft budget.
- Not signing second rounder Sam Stafford stinks even though they'll get that pick back next year. You'd always like to have the player now rather than pick later. However, if the medicals didn't check out, then I can't fault them for passing. There's only so much homework you're allowed to do before the draft. Remember, they ran into a similar problem with Scott Bittle in 2008, and they turned the compensation pick into J.R. Murphy while Bittle blew out his arm. The Stafford comp pick will be #89 overall next year no matter what, and they can't lose that pick for signing a free agent. Here's a list of all the comp picks in next year's draft.
- Among the guys they did sign, fifth rounder Greg Bird got the most money ($1.1M) and is probably the best prospect. I assume they're going to try him at catcher (they announced him as a catcher at the draft), but I'm not sure how that will work out. If it doesn't, his bat is going to have to carry him, and you'd like to see a little more well-roundness from your top draft prospect.
- Dante Bichette Jr. ($750k), Matt Duran ($335k), and Bubba Jones ($350k) are all cut from the same cloth: bat-first prospects that are already relegated to a corner spot. Bichette is the best prospect of the trio and has the best chance to make it work in a corner outfield spot. That's not saying much though. Jake Cave ($825k) is a bit more dynamic offensively and has a chance to provide some value on defense. Justin James probably has the best all-around tools package, but he's super raw and a bit of a project.
- The Yankees did a much better job on the mound, which has been a running theme the last few years. Jordan Cote ($725k), Dan Camarena ($335k), Hayden Sharp ($200k), and Rookie Davis ($550k) are all high school upside plays, with Cote and Sharp having the most potential but also the least amount of refinement. I like Camarena more than most, Davis less than most. Hebert and Maher are two more interesting arms, assuming they did actually sign.
- And, of course, the Yankees used a few picks to refill the bullpen pipeline, grabbing power college arms like Mark Montgomery, Branden Pinder, Ben Paullus, Phil Wetherell, and Zach Arneson. They've done a good job of incorporating these kinds of guys into the big league roster in recent years, but they've still got some work to do with the starting pitchers.
- I really liked the Yankees' draft haul last year (if people bothered to look beyond the Cito Culver pick, they'd like it too), lots more than this year. Last year they got up the middle position players with upside, this year it was all corner bats, the easiest thing to find on the free agent market. This is nowhere near a weak class, but I'm left wanting more. Knowing what we do at this very moment right now, I just can't give this year's draft haul anything more than a C. It feels they drafted for need more than anything.
And finally, because I know everyone is waiting with bated breath, yes the Pirates did sign first overall pick and 2008 Yankees' first rounder Gerrit Cole. He got $8M but not a big league contract, which blows my mind. How Scott Boras let that happen, I'll never know. Anyway, the $8M is by far the largest up front bonus in draft history, surpassing the $6.5M the Buccos have Jameson Taillon last year. So what do you think, ~$4M from the Yankees in 2008 or three years at UCLA plus $8M from the Pirates in 2011? I think the kid made the right choice, I think it's pretty clear in hindsight.

Nickelback have announced their new album will be released later this year, with a single due out on Tuesday.
The Canadian rockers will release the as-yet-untitled album through their new record label Republic Records. It will be their eighth album, and follow-up to 2011's Here And Now.
And on Tuesday, single Edge Of A Revolution will be available for digital download.
According to Billboard, Nickelback's signing to Republic Records came about due to a collaboration between Universal Music Canada CEO Randy Lennox, who has a long history working with the Vancouver-based band, and Republic Records co-founder and CEO Monte Lipman.
Lipman says: "For me, on behalf of Republic and this company, it's about how we can make a difference in their career. And that's what I convinced these guys. I said, 'You're a legacy act, and as far as I'm concerned, your trajectory is right into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and I want to be a part of that'."
An extensive tour is planned on the back of the album release, with full details to follow in due course.

Seattle Seahawks' offense breaks out in rout of Atlanta Falcons
- Updated: November 12, 2013
Finally. After weeks of worries and questions, the Seattle Seahawks put together the king of performance we all knew they were capable of.
Seattle did not make it interesting against a team with a worse record this time, blowing out the Atlanta Falcons 33-10 on the road. It was likely the best performance the Seahawks have put together since demolishing the San Francisco 49ers back in Week 2.
Head coach Pete Carroll even went further, saying it was the best game the Seahawks have played all season.
There was plenty to be happy about from the Seahawks in all three phases of the game. The biggest thing that stood out was how dynamic and explosive the Seattle offense looked down the field.
We weren't sure how the Seahawks would adjust without Sidney Rice, but they more than addressed that concern this week. Jermaine Kearse emerged as a legitimate down field threat with 3 catches for 75 yards, including a 43-yard touchdown bomb in the second quarter.
Continuing the impressive receiver play, Doug Baldwin responded to the extra targets well by catching 5 passes for 76 yards. We saw how good Baldwin can be during his rookie year, and it's important that he gets integrated back into the offense.
Meanwhile, Golden Tate continued to do amazing things with a football by rounding out the excellent day for the Seahawks' receivers with a game-high 106 receiving yards. His highlight-reel 6-yard touchdown catch near the end of the first half was possibly the best individual Seahawks play this season.
Add Percy Harvin to this group, possibly as soon as next week, and all of a sudden the Seahawks have an offense capable of big plays at any moment. In the 20-point second quarter alone, Seattle had five plays of at least 20 yards.
Russell Wilson was sharp and accurate, as he finally got some decent protection. The offensive line played much better than last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Seattle also did a nice job of incorporating quick, short throws when necessary. Wilson completed 9 of 12 passes on plays where the Falcons blitzed.
This was the best the Seahawks passing offense looked all season, and that doesn't even take into account Marshawn Lynch's 145 yards. Seattle is one of the few run-first teams remaining in the NFL, and if it can pass the ball like it did on Sunday, defenses around the league are going to have a problem.
If you want to nitpick, the Seahawks could have gotten into the end zone more, rather than settling for 4 field goals. But with 490 yards and 7.1 yards per play, that should sort itself out.
Seattle looks to keep the momentum up against the Minnesota Vikings, before getting a bye week and a critical chance to heal some injuries.

Should have let Aceves go and kept Bard. Bard is part of the future, Aceves isn't worth it
Originally written on CLNS Radio | Last updated 11/17/14
Matthew J. Lee/The Boston Globe/Getty Images BOSTON-- In what has been an interesting career thus far for Red Sox relief pitcher Daniel Bard, the fireballer has suffered another setback. According to a tweet from Pete Abraham, the Red Sox beat writer for the Boston Globe, Boston has optioned Bard down to Double-A Portland to make room for primary closer Joel Hanrahan. Abraham tweeted the following earlier this afternoon. Daniel Bard optioned to AA Portland He then tweeted when Hanarahan is expected to be activated by the Red Sox. Presumably the #RedSox will activate Joel Hanrahan on Tuesday. He suffered a sore right hamstring injury back on April 3 against the Yankees, and Boston shut him down for a few days beginning on April 14 to deal with the injury. The Des Moines, Iowa native told the Globe that week that it had been bothering him, and that it was on his mind. It's kind of been there in the back of my mind. I was hoping I could get through it," Hanrahan said. "I've kind of p...

Legacy of selflessness
Saint June
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Saint June
April 15.
Today the world has lost another angel
A woman smart and funny filled with power and with grace
A woman who gave of herself no matter what the cost
A woman who fought battles
Some were won and some were lost.
A sister, wife, mom, grandmom
Who always shared her words
Who led by her example to make a better world
She looked around and saw the needs of those who had much less
Then she wrote and fought to change those lives
A tireless social activist.
A woman, an example to all who come behind
A light, an inspiration to follow in this life
Someone who saw the value of all who crossed her path
Who knew that love and kindness are the only gifts that last.
And with those gifts she loved and laughed and fought to make things right
Goodbye, sweet June, you will be missed
Thanks for sharing your bright light.
Cheryl Lamouri, Hamilton, Ont.The accolades and tears will flow for the passing of June Callwood. Callwood was a unique individual who represented the very best of what Canadiana will always mean to those readers who grew up with her musings, and eventually became recognized and revered as one of the finest examples of what Canadian journalism and activism in this country had to offer.
In these ever-changing times, it will be those who both supported and learned from Callwood's wide array of journalistic endeavours that still can recall what it truly means to be a Canadian and what this entails. As an impressionable teenager growing up in the radical moments of the 1960s and 1970s, it was she who inspired me to never "pretend that you weren't a part of what was happening in front of you," when confronted by injustices, as she so ably put it later in life.
For me, the passing of such an iconic yet humble lady like June Callwood will definitely be sweet sorrow, for although she has left this realm, she has left a piece of herself with each one of us.
Daniel Kowbell, Toronto
What a wonderful human being. June Callwood was truly a saint and should be an example for all of us. If she was as great as extolled by Premier Dalton McGuinty, Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory and NDP Leader Howard Hampton, the question arises: How come child poverty is greater than ever in Toronto?
I bet Callwood would trade every kind word and every award she ever earned if tomorrow our city could boast decent housing for the poor and homeless, and we could see the end of child poverty.
She made things happen, and I believe that in her memory, the powers that be should do much, much more.
Joy Taylor, TorontoA woman. A mother. A crusader. An angel. June Callwood was the personification of all that is good. Although I never knew her personally, she was so easy to know through the stories about her works. If there is anything to this idea of cloning, it is my hope that there are many copies made of her to continue to make the world a better place. She will live forever in the hearts of people who want to see injustice corrected. I hope she will be happy with her beloved Casey.
Lloyd McClelland, Elliot Lake, Ont.Canada has lost one of its true dynamic daughters. June Callwood was a woman of action who accomplished much for others. We had no greater social activist. She was a real Canadian women's icon and will be difficult to replace. In the pantheon of Canadian ladies, she was the brightest. On top of all that, she was a damn fine writer. We will miss her greatly.
Norm Kirk, Toronto

After losing a tightly contested first set tie-break, Jankovic had to get through the hard way again, and controlled the second and third sets as Kvitova faded towards the end of the match.Beijing has a lot of memories for the eighth seed as she prepares to face Williams. She reached the World No. 1 spot herself for the first time in 2008 with her quarter-final appearance in the Beijing Olympics, before relinquishing the spot despite making the US Open final (losing to Williams).Williams managed to overwhelm Agnieszka Radwanska despite tweaking her back and requiring a medical time-out.The head to head between Williams and Jankovic has a history of being fairly even sided, but Williams has won the last two meetings, including a three-setter at Charleston this year in the final.Jankovic has been playing with a lot more aggression lately, as well as playing a lot more doubles to improve her net play, and the results have been evident as she has clawed herself back up the rankings since dropping out of the Top 20 for the first time since 2005.Serena is far and away the best player in the world right now, but she has had just a couple of moments of vulnerability (Australian Open and Wimbledon) and she has reached 11 finals this year.Williams' serving and returning has been as imperious as always, but Jankovic has solid defence skills and an ability to get balls back that would be winners for anyone else. What the Serb still lacks though is the ability to gain free points on her serve consistently.
