Kinsler named Wilson Defensive Player of the Year at 2B
Ian Kinsler finally was rewarded for the season he had at second base. It took a defensive awards system based on statistics to earn him the recognition, honored by Wilson with its Defensive Player of the Year award for the best second baseman in the Major Leagues.
It's the first major defensive award for Kinsler, who finished behind Boston's Dustin Pedroia for both the American League Gold Glove and Fielding Bible awards at second. Both of those are based in part on voting. The Wilson awards are entirely statistics-based, using a formula that blends advanced metrics with traditional stats.
On the metrics, Kinsler didn't have to back down to anyone in either league. Under Defensive Runs Saved, a statistic created by The Fielding Bible to measure plays a defender makes compared to those made by his peers, Kinsler's plus-20 rating this year not only topped all Major League second baseman, but all AL infielders. His 2.91 Defensive Wins Above Replacement ranked third in the Majors and easily led his position.
Under the more common metric of Ultimate Zone Rating, an effort to measure the number of plays a defender makes within his defensive zone, Kinsler's 13 UZR ranked second at his spot behind Pedroia.
Under more specialized ratings created by Inside Edge for advanced scouting purposes, Kinsler shined by making higher percentage plays. He converted 99 percent of the highest percentage plays, those regarded as 90 percent likely or better. Among plays with a usual 60-90 percent success rate for Major League second baseman, Kinsler converted 90 percent, which separated him from Pedroia, D.J. LeMahieu and others.
Kinsler becomes the first Tigers second baseman to win a defensive award since Placido Polanco won the AL Gold Glove in 2009. Polanco remains the Tigers' last Gold Glove winner.
Kelly, Reed officially opt for free agency
As expected, Don Kelly and Evan Reed both declined their outright assignments to Triple-A Toledo and opted for free agency, according to the International League's transactions page. Also as expected, both Kelly and Tigers president/general manager Dave Dombrowski are leaving open the possibility of a return.
"It's part of the business," Kelly said earlier this week. "Door is open."
The Tigers outrighted both of them to Triple-A Toledo last Friday, taking them off the 40-man roster. Both have enough minor-league time that they could decline the assignment and declare free agency, which is pretty much an automatic move. Both are now free to sign with any club immediately.
In Kelly's case, he can explore his options on the market and then take another look at Detroit. If he were to re-sign, it would probably be on a minor-league deal with a non-roster invite to Spring Training, the same thing he and the Tigers did after the 2012 season. Detroit kept him on the roster after last season with a $1 million Major League contract that avoided arbitration. If Kelly were to sign a big-league deal this winter, he'd be up for arbitration again.
Also among the IL transactions, you'll find that Jose Ortega and Justin Miller became free agents as well. Both were eligible after six minor-league seasons once they were left off the 40-man roster. Both hard-throwing right-handed relievers had a cup of coffee in Detroit before being outrighted to Toledo later in the season.
Castellanos named Tigers Rookie of the Year
The Tigers used 18 rookies this season. They had one logical choice for Tigers Rookie of the Year. On Wednesday, members of the Detroit Sports Broadcasters Association selected Nick Castellanos for the honor.
After back-to-back seasons with partial-year players earning the honor — midseason trade acquisition Jose Iglesias won it last year after in-season call-up Quintin Berry had it in 2012 — Castellanos gave the Tigers their first everyday rookie for a full season since Austin Jackson took over center field in 2010. Castellanos had his expected ups and downs, both at the plate and in the field, but ended up playing a big role in Detroit's fourth consecutive division title.
The Tigers drafted Castellanos out of high school in the first round in 2010, but struggled to find a spot for him at the big leagues until Prince Fielder's trade to Texas last fall allowed Miguel Cabrera to move from third to first. That opened up the hot corner for Castellanos, who had moved from third to the outfield a year earlier.
Offensively, Castellanos held his own, batting .259 with 31 doubles, four triples, 11 home runs, 66 RBIs and a .700 OPS. Only White Sox slugger Jose Abreu and Reds speedster Billy Hamilton had more base hits among Major League rookies, while only Abreu drove in more runs.
Castellanos had his expected rookie struggles with strikeouts, 140 of them in 533 at-bats. With just 36 walks, he posted a .306 on-base percentage that ranked 25th-lowest among Major League hitters with enough plate appearances to qualify for a batting title.
Yet when Castellanos connected, the beauty in his swing became evident. He posted a 28.5 percent line-drive rate that led all AL hitters, trailing only Atlanta's Freddie Freeman in the Majors.
Defensively, Castellanos' minus-30 rating on Defensive Runs Saved ranked last among all Major League position players, while his negative-18.4 Ultimate Zone Rating ranked next to last, despite a year's worth of work with infield coach Omar Vizquel. The Tigers are looking for improvement with another offseason of training on footwork and other fundamentals.
Castellanos becomes the first third baseman to win Tigers Rookie of the Year honors since Scott Livingstone in 1992. He'll be presented with his award before a Tigers home game next season.
V-Mart among three finalists for AL MVP
Miguel Cabrera will not have a three-peat as American League Most Valuable Player. Victor Martinez has at least an outside chance to get the Tigers their fourth consecutive MVP.
While the Tigers were shut out among the finalists for most of the major awards, they have one for the award they've controlled since 2011. Martinez is one of three finalists for AL MVP honors, joining back-to-back runner-up Mike Trout and Michael Brantley.
Final results of the balloting, conducted at the end of the regular season among members of the Baseball Writers Association of America, will be announced next Thursday evening on MLB Network. Trout is viewed as the favorite, based on previous results as well as the challenges faced by designated hitters in MVP balloting. Yet for a DH to crack the top three is a testament to Martinez's season.
No player with as many starts at DH as Martinez (115) has finished among the top three since David Ortiz placed third in 2006. It's not just a product of traditional views of the DH, but the recent value of advanced metrics that put a premium on defensive positions through Wins Above Replacement.
Indeed, Martinez wasn't anywhere near the AL leaders in WAR, placing 18th among AL players according to Fangraphs. On pure offensive production, however, there was arguably none better.
Not only did Martinez post career-best numbers at age 35, he put up the kind of numbers few 35-year-olds have ever done. His .335 average fell just short of what would have been his first-ever batting title, but his .974 OPS led the Majors, while his .409 on-base percentage led the American League.
With 33 doubles, 32 home runs, 103 RBIs and a 70-to-42 walk-to-strikeout ratio, Martinez made a strong case as the toughest hitter in the game this season.
Martinez became the first Major Leaguer since Albert Pujols in 2006 to hit 30 or more home runs in a season while striking out 50 times or less. At age 35, he became the oldest hitter to post his first 30-homer season since Edgar Martinez did it at age 37 in 2000.
That production was vital for the Tigers, who traded Prince Fielder last fall yet maintained their offensive production. Martinez moved up to the cleanup spot behind Cabrera and gave Detroit the run producer it desperately needed behind their two-time MVP.
Martinez won Tiger of the Year honors earlier Tuesday, the first player other than Cabrera or Justin Verlander to win it since 2007.
On arbitration projections and the Tigers rotation
One of the new traditions of the early offseason is the MLBTradeRumors list of projected arbitration figures, the end result of a process that has become more detailed over the years. It's not always spot-on (it can't be, really, when so many players and teams settle and avoid a hearing), but it's usually a good estimate, and it definitely gives an idea of what to expect come arbitration time in January. It's also helpful for payroll projection projections.
In the case of the Tigers rotation, the projections show a starting staff that's about to get a major raise. This winter's projections, released Tuesday, predict David Price to make $18.9 million next year (up from $14 million this past season) and Rick Porcello to make $12.2 mil (he made $8.5 mil this year).
That's a $31.1 million combined
bump salary. Add to that the contractual raises in the long-term deals for Justin Verlander (whose salary goes from $20 million this year to $28 million next) and Anibal Sanchez (from $15.8 million this year to $16.8 million in 2015), and the top four starters in the Tigers rotation would make a combined $75.9 million under the projections for Price and Porcello. The Cubs, Astros and Marlins all had lower team payrolls when the 2014 season began.
With that, you get an idea why the Tigers' payroll is becoming a major issue, and why it would be very difficult to hold team payroll steady around $163 million next year, no matter what the Tigers do this offseason (even if they traded Price heading into his contract year).
The rest of the projections put J.D. Martinez in line to make $2.9 million in his first year of arbitration eligibility, and Al Alburquerque at $1.7 million in his second year (he made $838,000 this year). No projection was made for Alex Avila, who has a $5.4 million club option next year.
Hunter, Tigers in waiting game as rumors begin
The Tigers and Torii Hunter are in a waiting game right now while Detroit tries to work out the pressing issues elsewhere on its roster. There could soon be a limit to how long Hunter waits, though.
Though Tuesday marked the first day that teams could negotiate with other clubs' free agents, nothing prevented clubs from expressing interest before that as long as no contract terms were discussed. With that in mind, Darren Wolfson of ESPN 1500 in Minneapolis tweeted Tuesday that the Twins have already expressed interest in Hunter, their former superstar outfielder who came up through Minnesota's system and served as the heart and soul of the team during its run of American League Central titles in the early and mid-2000s.
The Twins are a ways off from the World Series contender that Hunter is seeking as he tries to round out his career with a Fall Classic berth, let alone a title. Still, Hunter's Twins roots and the pending wave of young talent make this a potential fit. Hunter is a fan of Paul Molitor, having raved earlier this year about Molitor's knowledge of the game and ability to observe trends on the field. Molitor worked with Hunter in Minnesota more than a decade ago.
Last month, the Royals were speculated with potential interest in Hunter to fill their right-field void now that Nori Aoki is a free agent.
The Tigers are interested in keeping fellow free agent Victor Martinez. What happens with him could have an impact on Hunter, who has manned right field for two seasons but is also approaching his 40th birthday next summer.
Hunter, in turn, has let it be known he's interested in staying with the Tigers. But he also has been known to move quickly as a free agent, identifying his target early and signing there. He joined the Tigers about two weeks into the offseason two years ago, and signed with the Angels on Thanksgiving the first time he was a free agent.
Depending on how long the Tigers' dealings linger, Hunter could be in a position where he has to choose between waiting on their uncertainty and taking an opportunity somewhere else. That makes the chances of his potential return far less clear than they were a couple weeks ago.
Trammell rejoins Tigers as special assistant (updated)
After 20 years at shortstop and three more as manager, Alan Trammell is rejoining the Tigers for the next chapter of his baseball career. The Tigers announced Monday that they've hired him on as a special assistant to team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski, joining Al Kaline, Willie Horton and Jim Leyland.
"This feels right," Trammell said in a phone conversation Monday afternoon from Glendale, Ariz., where he was with Brad Ausmus watching Tigers prospects in the Arizona Fall League.
It was Ausmus, Trammell said, who called him not too long ago about coming back to the organization. Trammell was the Tigers' hitting coach in 1999, when Ausmus was the catcher. They both live in the San Diego area, and they get together for lunch from time to time in the offseason. In fact, that's what Trammell said he thought Ausmus was calling to set up. Instead, he was calling about a job.
It is not a ceremonial one. Trammell will be involved in all personnel meetings, according to the release. He'll also assist on the field at the Major and minor league levels, traveling throughout the farm system for the latter. Those duties will include working with former teammate Lance Parrish, now managing at Double-A Erie, and Triple-A Toledo pitching coach Mike Maroth, whom Trammell managed a decade ago.
"I want to work," said Trammell, who said he expects to spend most of Spring Training in camp working on the field.
It'll be Trammell's first work with the Tigers since he managed the team from 2003 through 2005. His first year at the helm was the infamous 119-loss season of 2003, but his next two seasons laid the foundation for the 2006 team that made it to the World Series under Leyland's direction.
Trammell stayed in coaching, serving as Lou Piniella's bench coach with the Cubs from 2007 to 2010 before spending the last four years as Kirk Gibson's bench coach in Arizona. He also stayed active in Detroit, taking part in Wayne State University's fall baseball camp each offseason to help raise money for the program.
Once the Diamondbacks changed managers and coaching staffs last month, the Tigers took the opportunity to bring the 56-year-old Trammell back into the organization.
"Tram will forever be revered as one of the greatest Tigers to ever wear the old English D," team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski said in a release, "and we view this as an opportunity to add an outstanding baseball person who offers a wealth of experience and perspective from his 20 plus seasons, all with the Tigers, and his most recent years of managing and coaching. It's great to have him back."
Tigers re-sign Hessman to minor-league deal
Mike Hessman will keep slugging home runs in a Mud Hens uniform in 2015. The Tigers re-signed the 36-year-old corner infielder to a minor-league contract for next season, according to Baseball America's Matt Eddy.
#Tigers re-sign 3B Mike Hessman, he of 417 minor league HR, including a record 272 in International League, to minor league deal.
— Matt Eddy (@MattEddyBA) November 1, 2014
Twenty-eight of those aforementioned home runs came this year in Toledo, where he returned after bouncing around the past few seasons.
Hessman also has 14 Major League homers, though he hasn't played in the big leagues since 2010 with the Mets. He hit six home runs in the Japanese Pacific League in 2011. As if that wasn't enough, he took his game to winter ball this offseason in Venezuela, where he's batting .220 with one homer and four RBIs for Tigres de Aragua.
Tigers lose Dirks to waivers, make qualifying offers to Scherzer, Martinez (updated)
As expected, Max Scherzer and Victor Martinez received qualifying offers Friday. Andy Dirks, meanwhile, received a waiver claim and a change of scenery to the Blue Jays.
Those were the highlights of a flurry of Friday moves by the Tigers, who picked up the $7 million option on Joakim Soria and did a whole lot more beyond that. Essentially, they set their 40-man roster for the start of what promises to be a busy offseason.
Detroit also purchased the contract of outfielder Wynton Bernard from low Class A West Michigan and outrighted the contracts of utilityman Don Kelly and reliever Evan Reed to Triple-A Toledo. Shortstop Jose Iglesias,
left right-hander Drew VerHagen and relievers Bruce Rondon and Luke Putkonen were reinstated from the 60-day disabled list.
The Tigers had until Monday to extend one-year, $15.3 million qualifying offers — the average annual value of baseball's top 125 contracts — to free agents. Scherzer and Martinez now have until a week from Monday to decide on it, but will almost surely decline, as both are expected to garner lucrative multi-year deals on the open market.
By extending qualifying offers, the Tigers set themselves up to receive compensation picks in next summer's First-Year Player Draft should Scherzer and Martinez sign elsewhere. Detroit has avoided qualifying offers in recent years, but with Scherzer and Martinez in line as potentially the top pitcher and hitter on the market, the offers made total sense.
Dirks was in a different situation, eligible for arbitration this winter after what amounted to a lost season to injuries. The 28-year-old outfielder, a part of Detroit's outfield from 2011 to 2013, underwent back surgery in March, then suffered a a series of setbacks — including a hamstring strain — that thwarted his rehab assignment in July and August.
"When will he be 100 percent? I don't know that answer quite at this time," team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski said at his season-ending presser earlier this month. "We still have to make some decisions in that regard."
That answer still wasn't clear for them to go into a second year of arbitration with Dirks. Dombrowski had expressed the need for a left-handed-hitting outfielder in the mix, but decided Dirks wasn't the answer.
"We had made the decision based upon his current health situation," Dombrowski said Friday in an email, "and not being sure if we could count on him for next season."
The Blue Jays, who have a history of offseason waiver claims under general manager Alex Anthopoulos, took the chance. With that, prospects Tyler Collins, Daniel Fields and Steven Moya stand as the only left-handed-hitting outfielders on Detroit's 40-man roster.
Also claimed off waivers was lefty reliever Patrick McCoy, who goes to Baltimore after pitching in 14 games out of the Tigers bullpen, allowing six runs on 21 hits with 13 walks and 11 strikeouts.
Bernard earned Midwest League MVP honors at West Michigan, albeit as one of the older players in the league. The speedy outfielder batted a league-best .323 (164-for-507) for the Whitecaps with 30 doubles, six triples, six home runs, 47 RBIs and 45 stolen bases in 131 games.
Bernard would have been a minor-league free agent had he not been added to the 40-man roster. The move puts him in line to spend Spring Training with the Major League club.
Kelly and Reed are likely to decline their outright assignments and elect to become free agents, but Dombrowski said the team could still re-sign Kelly. The Tigers did that after the 2012 season and ended up re-signing Kelly to a minor-league contract two months later. They kept Kelly on their 40-man roster last offseason and avoided arbitration.
Still to be decided is a $5.4 million club option for catcher Alex Avila, who would otherwise be eligible for arbitration. Since Avila isn't eligible for free agency, the Tigers have until Nov. 20 to pick up or decline the option.
Tigers to pick up Joakim Soria's option
The Tigers have a lot of sorting out to do with their bullpen. The simplest part, Joakim Soria's contract option for 2015, is now out of the way. The team has decided to pick up Soria's $7 million option, MLB.com has learned, thus keeping Soria off the free-agent market and in its bullpen mix.
Anthony Fenech first reported the move Friday morning. The Tigers have not confirmed, but are expected to make an official announcement later Friday.
The Tigers had until shortly after the World Series to make the move, but the decision had been expected for the past couple weeks. Team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski, while not announcing a decision earlier this month, strongly hinted at it during his end-of-season media session, saying they acquired Soria from Texas in July with next season in mind, as well as this one.
A left oblique strain in early August threw a wrench into Soria's 2014 impact. He returned a month later, but suffered from a lack of a set role, working everywhere from seventh-inning setup to fill-in closer on days the Tigers rested Joe Nathan. Soria performed well in September, allowing a run on three hits over 6 2/3 innings, but struggled mightily in two Division Series appearances at Baltimore.
The Tigers traded two of their top prospects, right-handed starter Jake Thompson and potential future closer Corey Knebel, to acquire Soria from Texas on July 23. To decline the option would've meant giving up that talent for a contribution that amounted to -0.1 Wins Above Replacement this year. By contrast, Jason Frasor had a 0.2 WAR for Kansas City after joining the Royals in early July, also from Texas.
Soria is expected to serve as Detroit's eighth-inning setup man next season, a role Joba Chamberlain handled for most of this past season. Chamberlain is a free agent. Bruce Rondon, who was supposed to handle setup work last year, is expected to be ready for Spring Training after undergoing Tommy John surgery in April, but the hard-throwing 23-year-old has just 30 appearances in his Major League career.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A 27-year-old man has pleaded guilty to automobile homicide and driving under the influence in a Salt Lake City crash that killed a paramedic.
Gabriel Perez-Guiterez appeared Tuesday in 3rd District Court. In exchange for the plea, prosecutors are dropping some charges, including felony leaving the scene of an accident.
Authorities say he was traveling at high speeds the morning of May 22 when he crashed into 31-year-old Jonathan Bowers' vehicle. Bowers died of his injuries about a week later.
Gabriel Perez-Guiterez fled the scene, but was caught later. He faces up to 16 years in prison at sentencing April 27.
Bowers was attending the University of Utah and had worked for Gold Cross Ambulance for six years. His family says he wanted to work for FEMA one day.

First zombie bees identified in Vt.January 28,2014The Associated Press
ESSEX JUNCTION — Vermont beekeepers say they face mite infestations, extreme temperature swings and the possibility of colony collapse. But a San Francisco State University professor says a new threat has arrived in Vermont: zombie bees.
John Hafernik told a meeting of Vermont beekeepers on Tuesday that a fly attaches itself to the bee and injects its eggs, which grow inside the bee. Hafernik says this is presumed to cause neurological damage resulting in erratic, jerky movement and night activity, "like a zombie."
Beekeeper Anthony Cantrell says he discovered zombie bees in his hive in October. Hafernik says they're the first zombie bees identified on the East coast as well as in Vermont.
Vermont Agricultural Production Specialist Stephen Parise says they are not sure if Cantrell's zombie bees are an "isolated" occurrence.MORE IN This Just InA close gubernatorial election raised questions about support for Gov. Full StoryPolice investigate Full StoryMENS HOCKEY Full Story

It's been months since The Bachelor finished filming, but the eliminated women wasted no time in rehashing — and battling about — this past season on the Women Tell All episode. We checked in with host Chris Harrison, who shared his thoughts on Courtney's tearful apology, why Blakeley got off easy, and how viewers will see a very different Ben Flajnik on next week's After the Final Rose special.
This week's episode of The Bachelor marks my favorite hour of each season — The Women Tell All special! So get your smack-talk ready and let's get to recapping.
But wait! After Chris Harrison introduces the women, we get a sneak peek of the recent Bachelor Nation reunion in Las Vegas. There's lot of making out, a few faces we haven't seen in a while and a lot of casting possibilities for the next season of Bachelor Pad (Ed, Ryan P and Stacey, to name a few.) We also get a glimpse into a possible rekindling of flames between previous Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky and Frank, who left her season for a girl that he's still with.
Ben and the ladies are in Panama City, where hopefully Ben's hair won't succumb to the hot and humid weather. He leaves the date card and it goes to Kacie B. The two take a helicopter ride to a deserted island, where they check out the three things Kacie chose to pack: A monkey man, a cork screw/knife and a bag of candy. Ben brought a machete, fishing net and matches. Both worry that with not much to do, they'll run out of things to talk about. But with lots of laughs, it seems like they'll be just fine, not to mention Kacie finds Ben's coconut-cracking skills extremely hot.
Ben and the 11 remaining women are in Puerto Rico where Nicki receives the first one-on-one date. They take a helicopter to Old San Juan and Nicki says, "it's like God's smiling down on us right now." And he starts to rain on them. Ben finds her ability to go with the flow super attractive and comes up with their Plan B date, to get some dry clothes — authentic Puerto Rican dry clothes. Ben even says he has some Latin swagger.
The ladies arrive in San Francisco where Ben meets up with his sister Julia to tell her about some of the women who have stood out. He mentions, Lindzi, Courtney — with whom he thinks his sis would hit it off — Kacie B. and that Jennifer is the best kisser so far. Apparently, he and his sister are ...

It's not just the recent influx of tech wealth that's mutating San Francisco's housing landscape. It's a big contributing factor, sure, but it's far from the only reason. No, the monumental change our city is currently experiencing is the result of the decisions from every level government, business, and industry. Simply put, everyone's to blame.

While some view San Francisco's rapidly changing demographics as an affront to the city that they knew as kids--and affixing the "gentrification" pejorative to any neighborhoods that no longer resemble demilitarized zones--San Francisco has undergone multiple similar changes throughout its history.

San Franciscans have a lot to be proud of. Our city is among America's most prosperous and progressive, but where exactly do we rank when it comes to, say the acreage of our parks, the number of children and homeless living here, or number of hybrid vehicles we drive?

With an average daily ridership in excess of 373,000 the Bay Area's BART system is an integral part of regional infrastructure. But this enormous transit web did not simply appear, it required years of planning, the combined efforts of thousands of builders (along with one very unique tunnel boring machine), and more than a little luck.

units of the Detroit Three as well as other foreign-based
automakers, analysts have said.
Canada rate hike views pushed back as economy struggles: Reuters poll
TORONTO (Reuters) – Half of Canada's primary dealers have recently pushed back forecasts for the timing of the central bank's next interest rate hike, a Reuters poll showed on Friday after weak jobs and housing starts data suggested the economy will struggle in 2013.

Market rationalist pigs get the best choice of totty
Assumptions from systems theory
The point made in the original column is that our selection of partners, on a case-by-case basis, in large part boils down to emotional connection (which while associated with genetic predisposition, is in large part environmental, and also unconscious and irrational). Surely most people fall in love not for the extrinsic benefits their partner can offer, but for a way they feel. The columnist takes issue with attempting to match people up based on comparison of data sets, and evaluating potential partners based on these extrinsic elements. I'd tend to agree - but then there are photographs to help establish potential for physical attraction, and what the hell is the point of online dating if not to result in real life dates in which emotional connection can be established?
Your assumption is that the way in which humans select partners is the same as the rational systems we have devised to explain statistical patterns in human behaviour. On a massive scale, these sorts of rational considerations probably account for a lot, but not on an individual basis. Our genes don't speak to us directly, nor are we predestined agents acting on their behalf. We often pick the wrong partners (on genetic criteria), or stay with partners who are damaging to us. Why? Irrational emotions. Which are far more significant to, and probably the defining force behind, the phenomenology of human relationships.

Principal's November Message
Happy November! It's that time of year when we focus on things that matter most and recognize the many things we've been blessed with. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for sending us such fabulous students. They are amazing young people. You have reason to be proud. We also have the best staff you could find. Our staff members are dedicated to serving your students. From the smiling faces that greet you in the front office, the support staff keeping everything running, to the teachers that stretch your students' intellect, we are so grateful for our staff. We have much to be thankful for at Snowcrest! Thanks for your great support of the PTO Halloween Carnival. Your support made it a huge success. The PTO spent countless hours planning and preparing to put on such a great event. Our students also take a lot of pride in their part of the carnival. It is great to see all of the support from the valley. Your involvement is what separates Snowcrest from other schools. With the start of a new quarter, we just want to ask you to encourage your students to continue working hard. The novelty of school has now worn off and students seem to struggle 2nd quarter. Encourage your students to use their advisory time. This time has been set apart to complete their homework, work with their teachers, and to get the additional support to help them be successful. We have noticed a huge correlation between attendance and success. For this reason we will be implementing a new tardy policy. Parents will be contacted after a student's second tardy in an individual class. On the third tardy, a student will meet with Mr. Elliott and be placed on a tardy contract. On the fourth tardy, and subsequent tardies, the student will be placed in lunch detention. We are asking you to encourage your student(s) to be on time. We would prefer to reward them with success and celebrate their accomplishments. Thanks you for your continued support. We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving!

UPDATE: Crews pulled a purple car from Bayou St. John this morning.
New Orleans Police say crews are resuming efforts to pull a car out of Bayou St. John near Wisner and Harrison.
"At around 9:15pm, we received a call of a vehicle that drove into the bayou," Officer Frank Robertson said in a news release. "We cannot confirm at this point if anyone was inside of the vehicle."
Robertson says they had to call off the dive operation late Monday night.
"Our dive team will resume the search in the morning. The visibility was poor this evening which makes for dangerous conditions," he explained.

British progressive rock group Gygafo recorded an average, non-head-turning album around 1972-1973 that was a bit folkier than the typical U.K. prog effort of the time, but otherwise a journeyman effort of its genre. It wasn't released at the time, but made its way onto CD in 1992. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi

After a successful trial run, Fort Wayne Community Schools will expand and continue a pilot program designed to help elementary children with emotional disabilities succeed in school.
The FWCS board approved a $165,000 contract Monday that will provide salaries for 11 case managers for various elementary school classrooms.
Students with emotional disorders are not able to process information and understand the consequences of their behavior like most other children.
The pilot began three years ago at St. Joe Center and Price and South Wayne elementary schools. At that time, the district had 21 students who were placed in an alternative school setting at Park Center because of emotional and behavioral disorders, said Ann Barnes-Smith, director of special education.
Last year, that number decreased to nine students, and this year it was only four students, Barnes-Smith said.
The district previously was paying more than $350,000 for alternative school placements, she said, and that has been whittled down to less than half the cost.
The secret to each student's success in school is early intervention, she said.
The earlier a child learns coping mechanisms, the easier it is for that student to enter middle school with fewer problems.
Since the program began, some of the students have moved on to middle school.
We are not having quite the number of issues we once had in middle schools, Barnes-Smith said.
Case managers work with the students in many ways, she said.
Whether it is in a small group, one-on-one, or assisting with a transition, the caseworker will work with students in all of the above, she said.
The caseworkers provide social-skill groups, keep records of daily activities, observe students and help teachers with records and data and assist students in making the transition from special education settings to the general education setting.
While caseworkers are working with and helping emotionally disabled students cope and de-escalate their behaviors so that they can return to the classroom setting, the teacher is able to continue educating the rest of the students, without interruptions.
Many children with emotional disabilities are not readily apparent or visible, and therefore, Barnes-Smith said, tricky to diagnose.
They appear to be just like everyone else, she said. The secret is finding them early and intervening. Then they will be able to enter middle school with more confidence and achieve much more.
Mark GiaQuinta, FWCS school board president, said: Keeping these kids in a school environment by having these caseworkers close by is a good thing. Having people who know these kids and know their needs is also a good thing.

I have the STR-K502S, which I believe is the same as the STR-DE575, with maybe the exception of s-video inputs.
But anyways, this question might apply to all Sony receivers.
Is there any way to get the surround speakers to play as if they were front speakers? In other words, say you were listening to a 2-channel music CD, and you wanted the left channel to be played out of both front and rear left speakers (and obviously the right channel out of both right speakers). Is this possible? Right now the only way I know how to activate the rears is if they are used for surround sound.

Plant expected to be commissioned in three years at a cost of Rs.3 crore per mega watt
The Kerala State Electricity Board has set in motion the process of setting up a 350-475-MW combined cycle power generation facility at Brahmapuram using natural gas as the feedstock.
In combined cycle power generation, a gas turbine and a steam unit are packed together for better thermal bang which is far efficient that steam unit or gas turbines working alone.
The Board has called for bids from agencies for completing the mandatory environmental impact assessment for obtaining clearance for the project from the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests, State Environment Impact Assessment Authority and Kerala State Pollution Control Board.
Board sources said the new plant was expected to be commissioned in three years at a cost of roughly Rs.3 crore per mega watt.
Gas pipeline, laid by GAIL India, from the Puthuvype Jetty of Petronet LNG to BPCL's Kochi refinery passed through the Brahmapuram compound of KSEB and tapping fuel should be easy, sources said.
They said the price of natural gas was likely to ease to around $12 per mmBtu by the time the power generation facility is in place. It may not be viable to produce power from gas supplied by Petronet LNG's Kochi terminal, which costs $19.50 per mmBtu.
New gas finds and the arrival of shale gas on the scene are expected to bring down natural gas prices in the near future.
KSEB has 100-MW diesel power plant at Brahmapuram, which is likely to remain idle till December because the Board now relies almost entirely on its hydel generation facilities, thanks to the unprecedented rain during June and July.
The price of low sulphur heavy stock fuel being used as fuel at Brahmapuram had gone up and this was one of the reasons why the Board was reluctant to crank up the plant. Electricity from the plant will cost roughly Rs.12 per unit, sources added.
The Board had earlier proposed to set up a 1,000-MW plant at Brahmapuram, where it had about 200 acres of land. However, about 100 acres have been acceded to the SmartCity project.
The Board has roughly 96 acres at present and the plot houses the diesel power generation facility as well as a sub-station. Board sources said the size of the new plant was proportionate to the land available.

TV Fight Club: 'Game of Thrones' vs. 'The Walking Dead'
They're both cable TV shows going into their fifth seasons based on beloved source material. They're both dark, dire ensemble dramas with supernatural elements that mercilessly kill off favorite characters, and are hugely popular with record-setting ratings and passionate fandoms. But only one—HBO's Game of Thrones or AMC's The Walking Dead—can be crowned the better show.
Which will win? Here's a case for both, then I'll turn this over to you, the EW reader jury. READ FULL STORY
AMC's 'Walking Dead' marathon: A survival guide
Big plans for the Fourth of July weekend? Barbecue? Fireworks? Spending time with family and friends you feel bad for not seeing more often?
Nuts to all that! Why not spend the most American weekend of the year watching the most American show on television? No, not Turn. I'm talking about The Walking Dead, AMC's beloved death-festival melodrama.
The network will air all 51 episodes of the post-apocalyptic saga starting on the morning of July 4, which means you can spend the next few days experiencing four seasons of zombie killing, lead-character fatalities, Rick Grimes' poor leadership decisions, gruff-but-lovable Daryl Motherf—ing Dixonisms, people yelling "Sophia!" to no avail, people trusting the Governor when they really shouldn't trust the Governor, admirably adventurous attempts at Southern accents, ridiculously romantic Glenn/Maggie moments—and did we mention the zombie killing?

'The Walking Dead' star Norman Reedus takes EW's Pop Culture Personality Test -- VIDEO
As we head into the season 4 finale of The Walking Dead on Sunday, there's a lot more to be resolved than possibly can be in 48 minutes (and perhaps it won't, if you read Dalton's Ross's chat with creator Robert Kirkman). Still, star Norman Reedus promises there are some tricks in store, especially regarding his character Daryl Dixon's trajectory: "It starts in one place and ends in another place — it's a full circle of action and emotion."
Before Reedus discussed Dead's zombie-shuffle to the finish, though, he sat down to take EW's Pop Culture Personality Test, where he discussed childhood crushes, his favorite quote-worthy films, cinematic scares, and a special memento he got from Blondie frontwoman and one-time costar Debbie Harry.
'The Walking Dead,' 'The Following,' and 'Hannibal': Less is more when it comes to gore
What, exactly, does getting stabbed sound like? It's an issue to which the makers of Fox's serial-killer drama The Following have clearly devoted serious consideration. Stabbings are the show's money shots, and no effort has been spared to make them sound wet, dense, and destructive, as if a dagger were being plunged into a bag of overripe tomatoes, shaved ice, and Cap'n Crunch. NBC's Hannibal is more interested in the look of ripping skin, constructing elaborate prostheses to show exactly what it's like when epidermis is pulled away to expose glistening viscera. Ironically, none of the show's living characters have human skin tone — they all look like reanimated corpses, the way the Sopranos cast used to in those overstaged "Here's the new season" ads — but the dead ones are robustly flesh-and-bloody, all moist maroons and magentas. And after four seasons, AMC's The Walking Dead has become even more refined in its simulations of what disintegrating skull and zombie brain pulp look like when a shotgun shell separates them from an extra's dirty neck.
These shows are defiantly gross, gory, and explicit. They are, in their ways, everything that horror should be. Except scary. READ FULL STORY
'Walking Dead' DeathWatch: Which character won't survive the finale?
Death is a constant fact of life for the characters of The Walking Dead — but especially on season-finale episodes. In season 1, Jacqui elected to die in the CDC explosion; in season 2, Shane died twice in the penultimate episode before the zombies overran Hershel's farm in the finale; and last season, Andrea was the season-ender's biggest casualty. With the final episode of season 4 set for this Sunday, none of the characters who've reached or will soon reach the promised oasis known as Terminus should start making long-term future plans. Dead producer Robert Kirkman has already warned us that the finale is going to be shocking, and EW's Dalton Ross has already mentioned his leading candidates for dead-man-walking.
So clearly, someone is going to die. The big question is, will it be someone we just met this season, or will it be someone from the core pack — perhaps even someone we've known since season 1? Darren Franich and Jeff Labrecque spitballed the possibilities, made totally irrelevant references, and completely exposed their ignorance of gambling culture. Humor them.

Some Perspective on the US EPA Carbon Regulations
Click on the graph above for a larger version. The graph shows the mix of US electricity sources for 2012 and for 2020 and 2030 under the EPA carbon regulations which were proposed yesterday by the Obama Administration. Sources can be found at the bottom.
Some points:
- First, lest there be any confusion, I support the regulations and hope that they are implemented. My general views on using technology standards to stimulate innovation can be found, for example, here. I'd also encourage a close look at Japan's "Top Runner" programs.
- The rhetoric surrounding the regulations is tempered by this data, on both sides.
- If implemented, they would represent a significant reduction in coal generation from about 39% of the mix to about 33%, a drop of about 15% from total 2012 coal generation (and under different scenarios it could be a bit more or less). The US economy has already seen a larger reduction in coal electricity generation -- a 25% drop from 2005 to 2012 -- and the economy appears to have survived intact.
- However, despite this reduction, the overall change to the US electricity mix is best characterized as marginal, rather than revolutionary. This is especially the case from 2020 to 2030 where there is very little projected change in the mix.
- In order to stabilize atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide at a low level (say 550 ppm or lower) requires that the carbon-free proportion of the global energy mix (not just electricity) increase from about 13% carbon free to more than 90%, regardless of how much energy the world ultimately consumes. The US in 2012 was about 13.5% carbon free. These regulations mainly switch electricity from coal to gas and thus do very little to increase the US proportion of carbon-free electricity generation.
- The so-called climate benefits of the regulations are thus essentially nil, though I suppose one could gin some up via creative but implausible cost-benefit analyses. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is a stock and flow problem and these proposed regulations make a only a very tiny contribution to the flow side of the equation. That is just math.
- The US carbon regulations won't influence future extreme weather or its impacts in any detectable way. Hard to believe I felt compelled to write that.
- The non-carbon public health benefits of decreased reliance on dirty coal are the most compelling reasons for the regulations, and they are considerable.

Robert Bernal says:
Thanks for posting and agreeing that, even though that 15% or so reduction is a big deal up close, that it is not much compared to the overall picture. I, too hope it is a step in the right direction.
These kinds of graphs imply that we are not going to substantually increase our energy supply. We have the tech to go 95% CO2 free but instead we are wasting it on the rather limited goals of rationing.
Jarmo Mikkonen says:
The post certainly highlights the magnitude of the problem of GHG emissions.
That 15 % of current coal generation is over 220 TWhs of electricity annually. 25 AP1000 nuke plants' annual production....or twice the solar panel power production of the whole world in 2013.
Marchant Wentworth says:
I agree that the direct effects of this reg, when adopted, may not be dramatic, dispite what the coal-state inspired Senators say. But this is the first EPA reg that describes the pathway for energy efficiency and renewables to be part of the solution. As utilities gain familiarity with these technologies, as has been the case in many of the RPS states, these lower cost sources will continue to gain market share with accompanying cost/per kwhr reductions.
Hops Gegangen says:
At this point, isn't the problem more one of game theory than simple math? This is a classic tragedy of the commons problem.
The day after the EPA announcement, the Chinese announced they would limit emissions.
There is more to this than the math of the EPA regulations. Human calculations of fairness are involved.
