Cliff Lee says please for the love of god do not trade for me
by Vince Morales on June 24th, 2009It seems that these trade candidates can't stop talking about the Brewers. Jarrod Washburn, Doug Davis and Erik Bedard all made their case. Now, Cliff Lee wants a chance to talk.
Last season I had the best season of my entire career. I led the league in wins, ERA, ERA+ and won the Cy Young award. My ERA was 2.54. I was pretty lights out, but honestly I was pitching out of my mind.
Last year the Brewers were pretty good and they made a trade for my teammates CC Sabathia. After becoming a Brewer he pitched even better than I did last season posting a 1.65 ERA. He was basically the greatest pitcher in the history of all time (as a Brewer) last season.
With those things in mind I just want to ask you one favor: Please, for the love of GOD, don't trade for me. Seriously, don't. Please, please, please, please don't.
If I was a Brewer everyone would immediately expect me to perform like CC did last year. I can't do it. I can't throw 7 complete games and 3 shutouts in only 17 starts. Are you nuts? That's insane! Who could do that? Did you know that two seasons ago I got sent down to the minors? I was 28 years old! What kind of 28 year old gets sent down to the minors? A bad one, that's who. Trust me, I'm damaged goods. I don't even have a cool sounding name. Cliff Lee, that name sounds like an alcoholic furniture salesman. God, my name is so lame. You won't even be able to come up with clever signs, "Cliff Lee ya later"? STUPID! I am so lame.
Look, I want to show you something.
That's my family right there. (Yes, that's my wife. Yes, I know she looks 14. Yes, I named my son Jaxon. No, I don't have a good excuse at to why.) Look at those kids. Cute, right? You want them to have a good life don't you? I'm going to be a free agent soon. My next contract is likely going to be my last contract. My last shot to make the kind of money that they never have to worry about anything again. If I go to the Brewers, it could all fall apart. I could crack under the pressure and end up a non-roster invitee to the Pirates. Do you think those kids want to live in Pittsburgh? Nobody does. Give these kids a chance at a better life and don't trade for me. You won't regret it. I suck. It's like my manager Eric Wedge always says "I coached CC Sabathia, I knew CC Sabathia. CC Sabathia was a friend of mine and you sir are no CC Sabathia." You don't want me, you want him and I can't be him. So let's just forget this whole thing, okay?
It's not like you guys could afford me anyways.

In the opinion piece "Mars can wait. Oceans can't," published recently on CNN.com, Amitai Etzioni says that we should defer Mars exploration because the seas have a higher priority. While I have the highest regard for ocean exploration, the fact of the matter is that there are numerous agencies – including the U.S. Navy, the navies of other countries, academic institutions, research organizations, corporations and James Cameron personally – that are more than adequately financed and equipped to carry it out.
The idea that we need to suspend space exploration in order to provide the necessary resources to probe the oceans is categorically absurd. So let's call it like it is: The argument that we should explore the oceans instead of space is not a call to search the seas, but simply a disingenuous way to give up our effort to reach the Red Planet.
But why should we try? There are three reasons.
"We" is quite exclusionary at this point in time.

The Single Set and PDF Study Set are typically stamped "Not for Construction" and are to be used for studying / obtaining bids only. We do offer a 90% credit when you upgrade from a Single Set to a 5-Copy set (or greater).
Additional copies can be ordered at the time of purchase and within 90 days after your original purchase date.
Important Information
All sales on house plans and customization/modifications are final. No refunds or exchanges can be given once your order has started the fulfillment process.
All house plans from Houseplans are designed to conform to the local codes when and where the original house was constructed.
In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.
To find out what documents you should expect with your house plans, see what's included?
In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be, but not limited to, earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren't sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.
Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.
How much will this cost to build?

Consumer News Release
For immediate release -- Thursday, April 19, 2001. Contact Bob Brammer, 515-281-6699
DES MOINES-- Attorney General Tom Miller said today that his office has concluded its investigation of last summer's automobile gasoline price spikes. Miller's office worked with the Federal Trade Commission in its investigation of the issue. Neither Miller's office nor the FTC found evidence of illegal price fixing in their investigations.
The FTC recently announced its findings that the June 2000 retail gas price increases resulted from numerous factors, none of which indicated illegal collusion by gas producers or other violations of antitrust laws. According to the FTC report, factors behind the price spike included production problems, reduced supplies, pipeline outages, reduced flow of gas, low inventories, increased demand, increased crude oil prices, and supply diversions to St. Louis because of an EPA waiver.
"Unfortunately, the supply decrease happened during the summer travel period, when consumer demand was at its highest," Miller said. "Like the FTC, we did not find any evidence that the price increases resulted from illegal price collusion."
Miller noted that the supply of ethanol was not found to be a factor contributing to the spike in prices. "We said when we began the investigation that we did not think ethanol was a factor behind the price increases, and that belief was confirmed both by our investigation and the FTC's."
Miller discussed the dynamics that caused and permitted the sharp spike in gasoline prices: "Inventories were low and other problems occurred in the Midwest that made demand greater than supply, and this presented the opportunity for a price spike. Companies generally seem to be more aggressive now than they were a few years ago in taking advantage of price spikes and driving prices higher. Last summer's Midwest gasoline prices and the current California electricity situation are recent examples. In addition, supplier companies now appear more willing to withhold some supply to keep prices higher and hold them higher for a longer period of time. The FTC found that this occurred in last summer's gas price increases and it is alleged in California today," Miller said.
"These are obviously not good developments for consumers. However, large price spikes and withholding supply are legal under deregulation - as long as collusion doesn't occur in the withholding," he said.
The FTC Report said that its investigation was coordinated with the offices of the attorneys general of several Midwestern states, including Iowa. Miller added that, as part of his investigation, representatives of his office met with gas producers, gas retailers, corn producers, representatives of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and others, and visited Iowa cities to check out allegations of questionable local price hikes and review prices.
Miller said his office looked at possible illegal collusion between businesses that are supposed to be competitors. He said investigators did not attribute gas price hikes in certain communities to illegal collusion or agreements between local competitors. The Attorney General's Office in the past has filed cases alleging illegal collusion among gas retailers in Iowa.
Miller said his office will continue to look into any possible collusion where gas sellers might try to take advantage of shortages with agreements to keep prices even higher. He also urged Iowans to contact his office especially if they have any inside information about illegal price fixing in Iowa communities.
"Sometimes prices are higher in one community than another," Miller said. "That is not necessarily evidence of price fixing. But if there is evidence that retailers have joined forces to set prices artificially high, that is an antitrust violation." Miller said Iowans may contact his office with any evidence of illegal price fixing by calling 515-281-5926.
"Although the investigation of the 2000 gas price spikes is concluded, we will continue to work with Iowa organizations, other attorneys general and the FTC to remain vigilant in watching for any kind of illegal behavior in the sale of gasoline," he said. He said energy price issues and antitrust considerations are an area of frequent collaboration and information-sharing among state attorneys general and U.S. officials.
Miller noted that the Energy Bureau of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources has projected that forces of supply and demand could push retail gas prices to $2.00 a gallon or higher this summer. He also distributed a "Consumer Advisory" with tips on how Iowans can reduce gasoline consumption and demand and thus contribute to keeping prices lower, including measures such as keeping tires inflated properly, avoiding "jackrabbit starts" and pacing driving to increase fuel economy.

Milwaukee may be known as the Brew City, but there is so much more to it than beer. The city offers a picturesque location right along the shores of Lake Michigan with plenty to do and see, regardless of what your interests may be. When you choose to move to this city that is rich in history, you will find it easy to get around with great commuting opportunities, whether you choose to live in the heart of the city or one of its surrounding suburbs.
Top Neighborhoods in Milwaukee, WI
Like all major cities across the country, Milwaukee has its great neighborhoods and those many want to avoid. Where you live depends on what interest you have. For instance, the East Side is popular among the younger population and offers close proximity to the beaches of Lake Michigan and the parks that line the waterfront. Walker's Point is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. While there are other older neighborhoods left, this one remains the most active and lively, with everything residents need close by. If art and history are more your style, the Historic Third Ward can also be a great place to live. Finally, Sherman Park on the city's northwest side offers a diverse economic and cultural atmosphere with serene tree-lined streets.
Cultural Attractions in Milwaukee, WI
Many of the apartments located within the city of Milwaukee place you in close proximity to the cultural attractions available. Milwaukee has a rich cultural history with a diverse population of individuals from many areas of the globe. Throughout the summer months, the city celebrates each of these cultures through a series of festivals themed after the cultures found in Milwaukee, including African World Fest, German Fest, Irish Fest, Indian Summer Festival, Festa Italiana and many more. Summerfest is also held on the same grounds for 10 days in the summer and has been dubbed the largest music festival in the world.
In addition to these summer festivals, Milwaukee residents can immerse themselves in other cultural attractions located throughout the city. The Pabst Theater and the Riverside Theater both feature concerts and shows to suit any interest. The Milwaukee Public Museum offers a great overview of history in general, as well as a peak into the past of this great city. The Miller Brewery tour, located right in the heart of downtown, is also a favorite among visitors and residents alike. Many of the city's historical buildings are also intact, some of which offer tours, including the Pabst Mansion, former home of Captain Frederick Pabst, founder of the Pabst Brewery. Nature lovers will also enjoy the numerous, beautifully-maintained Milwaukee County Parks, located throughout the city and the surrounding communities.
Nightlife in Milwaukee, WI
The nightlife in Milwaukee is one of the greatest attractions to living in this city. Because of its strong history in the beer industry, you can find bars on just about every street corner in the city. While many of these bars are your typical establishments, Milwaukee is home to some unique options for having a night out with friends or meeting new people. The Safe House is located in a discreet alley location right on the Milwaukee River. Patrons to this secret spy-themed bar need to know the secret password to get in or complete a "mission" before gaining entrance. Mo's Irish Pub is another popular night spot for residents.
Bars aren't the only nightlife you will find in Milwaukee, though. The Edelweiss is a boat touring company that offers more than just daytime tours of the Milwaukee River and Lake Michigan; they also offer sunset and dinner cruises and host special events, as well as private charters in the evening, If you love jazz music, the Jazz Estate offers live music every night of the week. Shank Hall and The Rave are also popular spots for enjoying live music and other entertainment. For those who enjoy comedy over music, Comedy Sportz can be a great place to hang out in the evenings. Potawatomi Bingo and Casino is also open all day every day, including late-night bingo sessions. Milwaukee nightlife is alive and well, providing something everyone can enjoy.
Sports in Milwaukee, WI
Milwaukee is home to a number of sports teams, both on the major circuit and the minor circuits. Sports lovers can find just about anything within the city. The BMO Harris Bradley Center is home to the Milwaukee Bucks NBA team and the Milwaukee Admirals hockey team. The venue also plays host to other traveling sports events, such as figure skating, professional wrestling and monster truck shows. Milwaukee is also home to Miller Park, the home of the MLB's Milwaukee Brewers. The city is also home to the indoor soccer team, the Milwaukee Wave. This team plays downtown at the U.S. Cellular Arena.
Though not a professional team, there are other sports opportunities in the city of Milwaukee. For instance, the Brew City Bruisers is a female roller derby team that practices and plays in the city. The Milwaukee Mile at Wisconsin State Fair Park plays host to racing events in all major racing circuits, and the Petite National Ice Center trains and races speed skaters from around the world. In addition, Milwaukee is home to several college-level teams, including Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, both NCAA Division I teams.

Hi folks
Just wondering if it has happened to anyone else, but today as i posted up 2 layouts, the descriptions for both layouts disappeared after i uploaded them. It's important to me that the descriptions appear under the layouts, coz they are CT layouts for Maria Designs and the link to her store is part of the image description.
Hope this is just a temporary glitch! Thanx for looking into this. =)

Do any of you feel that it comes off as a little rude to block a person just for saying hello? I have experienced this more then a few times and it seems rude to me. I completely understand blocking people for being inapropriate or creepy but blocking someone for being nice seems to be the wrong way to go about things.
I think we all men and women have to not use the fact that were behind a computer screen as an excuse to throw common manners out the window. After all we are all people whom experience simalar feelings. We all need to remember the Golden Rule from elementary school, in the long run we will all be better for it

Ardagh Group - Milford
One National Street
Milford, MA 1757
Map It!
The Verallia North America plant in Milford was built by Foster-Forbes in 1973 with one glassmaking furnace to supply the food and carbonated beverage markets. In 1976, a second furnace was added to the site. In 1995, Ball and Saint-Gobain formed Ball-Foster Glass Container Corp. (including Foster Forbes) as a joint venture. In 1996, Saint-Gobain purchased Ball?s interest in the joint venture, making Ball-Foster a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, and on Jan. 1, 2001, the name was changed to Saint-Gobain Containers, Inc. In 2010, the brand name was changed to Verallia.
The Milford plant has reinvented itself twice in its history ? first, in 1987, when the site began producing beer bottles, and a second time in 2006, when the facility was converted to manufacture all amber-colored glass, enabling the post-consumer recycling rate to be increased from 50% to 75%.
Today, the Milford plant has two furnaces that use 570 tons of raw and recycled materials in its continuous operations ? seven days a week, 365 days a year. The Milford facility has approximately 215 hourly-represented and salaried employees that manufacture approximately 2.4 million glass bottles each day for the beer market.
Verallia North America?s Milford plant took the following actions to improve its energy efficiency:

text: Marty Baker provided an update on the SAAG. Some states and districts bylaws/constitutions are in conflict with NATA's. One such area brought to the board's attention is career starter dues. Observing the career starter dues policy of dues relief is not optional at any level. This was voted on by the membership at each district meeting in 2007 and adopted by the NATA board of directors. The board encouraged states to follow the district practice of having their bylaws state NATA bylaws take precedence in the case of a discrepancy.

The Quickly Exploding Law Graduate Debt Disaster Brian Tamanaha
The average indebtedness figures for 2011 law graduates are stunning. Last year, 4 law schools had graduates with average debt exceeding $135,000. This year 17 law schools are above $135,000. Last year the highest average debt among graduates was $145,621 (Cal. Western); this year the highest average debt is $165,178 (John Marshall). Below are the 20 schools with the highest average law school debt among graduates (these figures do not include undergraduate debt).
Post secondary education has become a small but not insignificant source of systematic credit growth. In order for the the economic and thus political system to operate the US must have credit expanding approximately $2 trillion a year.
After the 08 crisis credit demand and supply collapsed, except for governments. In the case of government it stepped up to the plate to borrow and lenders were eager to lend at super low rates. This still applies as of the last quarter of 11 the Treasury was still responsible for 70% of all non financial credit. So back to education loans. Because they often have implicit government guarantees, like the GSE's, the supply of credit for education loans has continued to expand. So in a way colleges and universities, public and private have been in a bubble akin to the housing bubble. The benefits to the institutions are irresistible and so there is no way they will try to reign in costs and thus tuiton. Not as long as students are willing and able to borrow.
Here is the link to the non-paywall listing: http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/grad-debt-rankings
I question the John Marshall listing though--it's a bigger increase from last year than I would have expected, and I don't believe that only 50% of its graduates have loans. Even if they were giving generous scholarships to applicants with an above-median LSAT, you'd think that more students would be taking on some debt for living expenses. Cal Western and TJ seem right, though. Also, IBR (even without public service) will lessen the immediate repayment burden for most students, but at significant cost to the taxpayer.
When the government subsidizes demand and supply remains the same, costs will rise as a matter of course.
If you want lower tuitions costs, drop the subsidies significantly. Of course, is will me less compensation and more classroom work for professors.
Thank you for this post, Brian.
Do you have any thoughts as to why students have kept flocking to these schools even though there are almost always less expensive alternatives that would require students to assume less debt?
You are right that the 50% in debt for JM is odd and might be an error. Milan, I can only think of one answer to your question. These students were bent on going to law school no matter what, and these schools were the best ones they got into in the cities they hoped to work in. They did not take a close look at the economics of the situation, and law schools have been posting misleading employment numbers. Keep in mind that 2011 graduates entered law school in 2008, well before the drumbeat of bad publicity about law schools. Prospective students today will be better informed about the financial risks. But I suspect they will continue to enroll no matter how poor the odds of success. And now law schools are using IBR to tell students they won't have to pay back the scary loan numbers in the end if their high-risk gamble does not pay off. Brian
Milan, my hypothesis is that current loan policies make students largely non-price-sensitive (but still highly prestige sensitive), so that they are willing to take on more debt to go to a slightly higher ranked school (even when they have to move to do it--while many stay local, many do not--and the Cal Westerns/TJs/Florida Coastal type schools do get lots of non-local students). As others have convincingly shown, this is rarely a wise decision.
I've argued that the prestige hierarchy will change dramatically if (when?) loan limits are put into place: http://www.legalethicsforum.com/blog/2012/02/after-the-student-loan-arms-race-the-disruption-of-hierarchy.html
While not focusing on law schools, today's Boston Sunday Globe Ideas Section, on page 1, features "Why is college so expensive? A new study points to a disconcerting culprit: financial aid" by Paul Kix. Reference is made to the Bennett Hypothesis, named after William Bennett who had served as Secretary of Education in the Reagan Administration.
So back to education loans. Because they often have implicit government guarantees, like the GSE's, the supply of credit for education loans has continued to expand. So in a way colleges and universities, public and private have been in a bubble akin to the housing bubble. The benefits to the institutions are irresistible and so there is no way they will try to reign in costs and thus tuiton. Not as long as students are willing and able to borrow.
Cuurent law school loans are overwhelmingly not just gurenteed by the federal government but actually provisioned directly by the department of education under the Stafford and PLUS Grad loan programs. It is a lose-lose situation. The students are saddled with crushing debt burdens and the federal government is left owning debt with high non-payment rates much of which will have to be written off altogether in 20 years under IBR. The only people who come out ahead are those that work for these law schools.
Brief comments:
I agree with the analysis - with these additional points. 1. Even if students could pay their loans by obtaining high-paying jobs, the rising expense of legal education could weaken the provision of services to indigent and less fortunate clients (and other vital settings with lower salaries). 2. Even if students could pay their loans by obtaining high-paying jobs, the enormous costs of legal education would still have differential effects for students whose families have relatively less wealth (not just income). Poor students often leave law school with demands for assistance from friends and families. Higher salaries do not always translate into more personal gain.
Ancillary but inevitable damage: that debt won't be paid off working public interest law. Corporate law is more like it.
So even those grads who wanted to do some good in the world, can't afford to.
The only one of those law schools anyone has any business borrowing money to attend is Northwestern.
Brian -- Thanks for your post on such an important conversation. I posted some thoughts over at the Literary Table suggesting some solutions -- like Law School internalizing debt of unemployed students and broader reporting windows. http://literarytable.com/2012/03/26/law-school-debt-a-frolic-of-our-own-or-a-leviathan-that-can-be-tamed/
Sue, sue, sue! Let's foment a mutiny on the pirate ship! A feeding frenzy of cannibalistic sharks!
It's high time the law schools got a good hard taste of what the rest of us have suffered at the hands of the rapacious ambulance-chasing filth they excrete. There is nothing so heartwarming as seeing lawyer scum in misery.
My fondest wish is to make it onto a jury for a class action lawsuit against the legal establishment. I'd lie through my teeth about my lack of bias, then lead a runaway jury to a RICO award that would bankrupt three quarters of the law schools in the country and annihilate the endowments of the rest.
horrifying that my alma mater leads the country in turning out debt slaves. I got out in the 80's owing $9300.
Bart's right that subsidies just drive up costs.
I suspect my solution would be different than his, but here goes-- I think we should eliminate all subsidies from PRIVATE schools and make PUBLIC schools free (and use the money saved by not subsidizing private schools to build more of them). This would force private schools to cut costs substantially, but it would also force textbook printers, producers of educational materials, computer services that sell to the educational market, etc., to price closer to marginal cost as well. And at the same time, we'd get a lot more bang for our buck by funding public education.
Student loans debt now totals over $1 trillion.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303812904577295930047604846.html?mod=googlenews_wsj It is reportedly growing at $40 billion a month. Of the loans that are now in the repayment period as much as 27% is now 30 days past due, or more of course. http://www.fitchratings.com/web/en/dynamic/articles/U.S.-Student-Loan-ABS-Resistant-to-Default-Rates.jsp?cm_sp=homepage-_-FitchWire-_-U.S.%20Student%20Loan%20ABS%20Resistant%20to%20Default%20Rates Not to worry there of course, for the lenders, the government has their back. So students will be long term debt slaves, or deadbeats, and taxpayers will bail out the lenders. I hope this all sounds familiar. Of course I am not talking about macro economic issues, not educational ones per say. But all the forces which encouraged the housing bubble are on board with this education bubble. Remember we are talking $40 billion a month into post secondary schools that may not otherwise be going there. Thus a bubble has been created. This will end badly.
What will happen when most new JDs have so much student loan debt that they will not be able to pass character and fitness reviews? What will happen when the act of financing law school disqualifies law school graduates from legal practice?

In case you haven't been paying attention, people everywhere are going nuts over Fage Greek Yogurt. I find Fage's thick and creamy texture its best attribute, but its flavor is pretty bland (read our review - we are one of the few people not going nuts). So, I thought I would give this competing brand, Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt, a whirl. Oikos is made by Stonyfield Farms, a company whose products I normally like especially because they're organic.
The plain version of Oikos is quite similar to Fage. Same great thick texture, but it needs add-ons like honey or fruit to make it truly delectable. Oikos also makes a vanilla flavor, which has just 20 calories more than their plain variety (120 vs. 100 for a 6 ounce container). I had high hopes for this lightly sweetened version, but alas, I found myself adding a packet of Stevia to the container. Unfortunately for you 2% Fage fans, there is no 2% or full fat variety in Oikos line; all their products are 0% fat.
Each 6 ounce container of Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt contains 100-120 calories, no fat and an impressive 16 grams of protein. Depending on which variety you choose, there are 7 or 14 grams of sugar. One serving also provides 20% of your daily calcium needs.
Oikos is a tasty twist on yogurt - if you add in your favorite toppings. Just like Fage, there is not a lot of flavor going on in this little tub. Oikos costs about the same as Fage, about $1.50 per container. Due to their similar price and taste, I would probably stick to Fage because it has 20 fewer calories per serving, and there are more varieties to choose from.

The year of Speedy Gonzales | In 2006 Texas final, Brownsville's Cowboys produced outsider's art
Players from Porter High School lift championship trophy after the Class 5A boys' soccer final, 15 Apr 06, Round Rock, Austin. Afterward, players told Porter principal Alonzo Barbosa Jr., "Sir, Speedy Gonzales won." (www.bisd.us/porter)
The Porter High School Cowboys' soccer season ended prematurely this year, in a regional quarterfinal playoff to Brownsville rivals Rivera. Now Rivera moves into the position that Porter occupied in 2006—unlikely challengers, from the southernmost city on the U.S.–Mexico border, to well-resourced, primarily Anglo sides from northern Texas in the state final four. The matches take place this weekend.
Gladys Porter High School, however, will always lay claim to having become the first team from the Rio Grande Valley, in any sport, to have won a state championship competing among Texas' largest high schools (class 5A). One among five competitive boys' soccer programs in Brownsville, Porter boasts a cohesive supporters' organization, the Porter Nation, that employed the victory cry, "¡Si se pudo!" (Yes, we did it), to echo chants that Mexican American labor leader César Chávez once had used to galvanize farm workers.
In a region dense with storytellers and barrier-defying artists, the Porter High story has proven especially suitable for demonstrating the unique cultural position of the border dweller. Brownsville-bred writer and Porter High graduate Oscar Casares in a Texas Monthly column ("Ready for Some Fútbol?" Nov 06) shows clearly how the Porter players, in the 2006 championship game with nationally ranked Coppell of North Texas, remain de facto outsiders in an American polity that maintains little regard for those along its southern extremity.
The Porter High players are culture and border straddlers, often having to explain, if not apologize for, their presence. Casares, for example, describes the series of searches that the team had to undergo during the 370-mile trip to Round Rock, north of Austin, for the championship weekend. First a drug-detection dog inspects the players and belongings, in accordance with policy of the Brownsville Independent School District. Ninety miles later, the bus stops at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint. Federal agents and more drug-sniffing dogs climb on board. "Everybody U.S. citizens?" the agent asks. Coaches and players, wearing identification tags to help smooth such encounters, nod.
But the greatest indignity awaits at the match. Already surrendering height advantage to opponents who are "all about one foot taller," according to Austin-area high school coach Lupe Rodriguez (see "Champs with Class," Brownsville Herald, 18 Apr 06), Porter faces the Coppell supporters' bizarre chants of "USA! USA!" and a poster of cartoon figure Speedy Gonzales. The poster depicts Speedy about to be squashed and, according to Casares, carries the legend "Stomp on Brownville!" The spelling error is intentional.
Game officials ask fans to remove the sign, but the impression has been made. Casares is quick to place the Porter experience within the wider frame of immigration reform in the United States. On 26 Oct 06 President Bush signed into law a bill authorizing 700 miles of dual-layered, reinforced fencing to guard the border with Mexico in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, with one end passing a mile from Porter High School. With Democratic victories in midterm elections in November, however, it appears unlikely the $6 billion project will ever be funded. Further, politicans and businesses in these border regions wish to preserve a symbiotic relationship in cities such as Brownsville, Laredo and Eagle Pass, where "crossing the river is an everyday part of life" (Jeremy Schwartz, "Thriving Towns Fret Over Border Wall Plan," Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 7 Jan 07). A bridge has connected Brownsville and Matamoros, in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, since 1910; in fact, there are now three bridges.
One Coppell fan at the 2006 soccer final, oblivious to such context, calls out to Porter players, "You suck, you beaner!" The Porter Nation answers with "¡Si se puede!" Casares continues:
What the Coppell fans and the players on the charged soccer field probably didn't realize was that their reaction toward a group they assumed was not American could hardly be counted as new. One of the most concentrated efforts to rid the country of illegal immigrants occurred in 1954, when the U.S. government officially passed Operation Wetback, a mandate to expel all illegal workers, particularly those from Mexico (as the name may have clued you in to). Led by the Immigration and Naturalization Service and aided by the municipal, county, state, and federal authorites, as well as the military, the operation resulted in a massive sweep of Mexican American neighborhoods and random stops of "Mexican-looking" people.
Within this time frame Warner Bros. introduced the Speedy Gonzales character, brandishing the convenient stereotypes and coining the phrase, in the faux-Mexican voicing of Mel Blanc, "the fastest mouse in all Mexico." Casares notes appreciatively, though, that Speedy, with cries of ¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba! regularly outsmarted and outran nemesis Sylvester the Cat. In somewhat similar fashion, Porter players utilized what Casares describes as "more of a Mexican style," emphasizing short passes in heavy winds that affected play in the Apr 15 final.
It certainly isn't the kind of soccer most kids across suburbia grow up with. The quicker technique makes sense because of the smaller size of the players in the Rio Grande Valley. Porter's approach to the game is actually quite common in this region of Texas, as well as on the other side of the river, because until recently, crossing over to Matamoros was the only way for boys to play on leagues year-round.
The championship remained scoreless through regulation, although several Coppell shots had clanged the posts and crossbar (David Hinojosa, "Brownsville Porter Sends Coppell Packing," Dallas Morning News, 16 Apr 06). But, as often happens, the game opened up in extra time, with Coppell scoring first. Porter coach Luis Zarate, a former placekicker with the University of Houston's gridiron football team, already, while addressing the racial slurs from the grandstands, had spread the message to players that Porter belonged. "You're here. You belong here," the coach said. These are well-worn coaching aphorisms, but Casares extends their meaning to the sense of belonging that Porter players and compatriots should feel in the United States, within a nation that sometimes appears to question their legitimacy.
Soccer players in south Texas, ca. 1924. In addition to such images of daily life, border photographer Robert Runyon (1881–1968) documented the development of cities and towns in the Lower Rio Grande Valley and the revolution in northeastern Mexico. He maintained a portrait studio in Brownsville. (Robert Runyon Photograph Collection, The Center for American History and General Libraries, University of Texas at Austin)
In the end, the star of the Porter team, striker Jorge Briones—who would have to work two weeks washing cars to earn money for a most-valuable-player ring—scored twice in the overtime periods. He scored first from 15 yards then, following a run out of midfield, fired from the top of Coppell's 18-yard box. "A defender deflected the shot," writes Hinojosa in his game account, "and the change in trajectory caught Coppell goalkeeper Aaron Francis flat-footed. …"
Casares's vignettes of Briones—who recently signed a letter of intent to play for the University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)—working at a used-car dealership and the team as a whole helping to open a new Wal-Mart Supercenter contribute to the author's intent of normalizing the picture of Brownsville and the border land. In an interview following publication of his 2003 short-story collection, Brownsville (Little, Brown & Co.), Casares acknowledges a debt to an earlier writer of the region, Américo Paredes (1915–99).
Casares, too, works toward educating readers about the region and culture of which Richard Rodriguez, in Brown: The Last Discovery of America (Viking, 2002), writes, "Apart from the stool sample, there is no browner smear in the American imagination than the Rio Grande." "[M]y form of activism," Casares says, "is that by showing Mexican Americans involved in ordinary things as I have always seen them, by normalizing them, what I'm doing is sort of showing the humanity of the group" (Michael Schaub, "An Interview with Oscar Casares," bookslut.com, Aug 03). Thus, in Brownsville, he emphasizes the everyday ambitions of the city's residents and, while integrating regional particulars, makes these ambitions recognizable to Americans at large. In one case, an 11-year-old boy, Diego, starting his first job at a fireworks stand rides to his first day of work with his proud father.
They cracked the windows open at the top to let in the cool air. The sky was ash gray, as it had been for the past week. On the way to the stands they passed the cafés along International Boulevard, the panadería and its glorious scent of fresh sweet bread, the restaurant that sold barbacoa on Sunday mornings, the service station where the father had worked as a young man. ("Mr. Z," 7)
One can imagine Briones experiencing such sights and smells while riding to his job. Casares even takes pride in knowing that, on his insistence, his book ended up being positioned next to cash registers at HEB grocery stores in south Texas—exceedingly rare for a work of literary fiction. The book became a "working person's icon," according to a profile in the Daily Texan (Rachel Pearson, "Author Brings Border Experience to His Stories," 18 Apr 05). Brownsville residents wanted to purchase their copies from the working man's HEB.
Thus, it seems appropriate that Casares and freshly minted Brownsville hero Briones end up tethered to the same phone connection at the conclusion of Casares's account of the Porter High School soccer team. Briones asks to speak to Casares in Spanish. Casares passes on his congratulations, but the music at the Wal-Mart opening makes conversation impossible. Both men listen to "The Star-Spangled Banner," Casares via transmission by mobile phone.
The Rivera Raiders of Brownsville lost to touted suburban Dallas side Flower Mound Marcus, 1–3, in the state 5A soccer semifinals on Apr 13 in Round Rock.
As of mid-2007, the route for a border fence between Brownsville and Matamoros was still being mapped (Ralph Blumenthal, "Some Texans Fear Border Fence Will Sever Routine of Daily Life," New York Times, Jun 20). Drafts from Customs and Border Protection services showed parts of the University of Texas and Texas Southmost College and the Brownsville-Matamoros bridge on the Mexican side of the fence. One man shouting from the Mexico side of the Rio Grande said, "It's an insult. We'll make tunnels."
Other sources
For more on the controversy surrounding the border fence, visit photographer Alex Jones's photo narrative of one man's protest: the 176-mile border walk, from Laredo to Brownsville, of Jay Johnson-Castro Sr. On Mexico's outsider, or self-taught, art, see a review of the ongoing American Folk Art Museum exhibit, "Martín Ramírez," for the New York Review of Books (Sanford Schwartz, "A Track All His Own," Apr 12). The Mexican laborer from Jalisco state spent 32 years in California mental institutions but, with Adolf Wölfli and Henry Darger, became one of the three most highly regarded "outsider" artists of the 20th century. Ramírez's drawings, Schwartz writes, represent "a sign language created precisely for telling the stories of being a schizophrenic and an immigrant—of being someone continually torn between two identities and two homes." For more on contemporary art of the Brownsville–Matamoros conurbation, directed specifically to the notion of a border fence, see a review of the exhibit "Trauseuntes/Passers-By," featuring a Matamoros painting collective, Colectivo La Azoteca (Sara Inés Calderón, "Area Artists Attempt to Capture Border Fence Conflict on Canvas," Brownsville Herald, 22 Oct 06). "The border is very invisible," says painter Veronica Mercado. "People come and go."

The Composers
Erik (Alfred Leslie) Satie
If the professors of the Paris Conservatoire had ever had to elect a student as least likely to succeed, it is possible that Erik Satie would have won hands down. Slow to progress, his skills at the piano were so poor that he was said to take three months to learn even the simplest of pieces. Satie, however, was not prepared to let an institution stand in his way and set about writing works which, although imbued with originality and a novel use of harmony, were simple enough for him to play in the salons and cafés of bohemian Paris.
Regarded by some as the father of minimalism in music, Satie wrote simple, frequently unobtrusive pieces. His musical vision perhaps seems sadly prescient - on one occasion he instructed a group of musicians to play a piece, which he had composed as background music, during the interval of a concert. He was horrified when the audience began to return to their seats and implored them to carry on as if nothing were any different.
Many of the minimalists Satie inspired picked up on his use of "white note" harmony, an aversion to modulation which drives composers to make new uses of old scales by means such as composing in the church modes or using extended chords. However, Satie also made references to Eastern chromaticism in a similar manner to Debussy. The two were close friends and influenced each other to a degree. Even such a technician as Stravinsky acknowledged that "...French music is Bizet, Chabrier and Satie".
Satie collaborated with many of the finest creative minds in Paris, including Picasso, Milhaud and Cocteau, but he was an intensely private man. He was only known to have had one relationship in his life, and he allowed no one inside his apartment. Eventually he fell victim to alcoholism, which led to his death from cirrhosis of the liver.
To many, Satie is known chiefly as an eccentric who filled his wardrobe with umbrellas and wrote pieces with titles like "Trois morceaux en forme de poire" (Three pieces in the form of a pear) just to be obstreperous. Although his bizarre reputation may have contributed his music's popularity, it has perhaps meant that his work is seen as a collection of stunts and tricks. It would be a shame if the odd titles of his pieces and details of his life were to detract from what is often honest, unique music.
Related Composers: Debussy, Ravel, Poulenc, Milhaud
- MIDI FILE - "Gnossienne" for Piano (7'57'')
The Five Nocturnes composed in 1919 are probably the most highly regarded of Satie's piano works. Highly unusual for Satie, this is an abstract work without the customary humorous title; it represents the serious side of the composer's piano output.
The construction of these pieces is highly organised; the second and fifth Nocturnes are essentially harmonic studies, only using certain intervals. The resulting sonorities are often stark and couldn't be more different from the famous Nocturnes of Chopin or Field.

BA in English |
While an English major at Webster, you'll not only explore great works of literature, but you'll also enjoy them in the relaxing garden setting of the historic Pearson House, home to Webster's English and philosophy departments.
Webster English students enjoy the sense of community they experience while taking classes and studying in the surroundings of this historic house, where their professors' offices are also found. Many find there's no better way to tackle course work than to curl up with an assigned text in the Pearson House's backyard gardens; students can also frequently be found talking over class readings and assignments in the comfort of the student lounge.
You will feel at home among your fellow English majors thanks to the small classes and personal attention you'll receive from faculty, whose first priority is to see you succeed. You can nurture your interests outside of class, too, through extracurriculars such as:
- The Literature Club
- The Green Fuse student literary magazine
- Surfacing, the department's emerging playwrights festival
- Professional performances by the acclaimed St. Louis Repertory Theatre (located on campus)
- The department's Visiting Writers Series, which draws nationally prominent authors, playwrights and poets to campus

Areas of Emphasis
English majors choose from three emphases:
- Creative Writing
- Literature, Society, and Politics
- World Drama and Playwriting
Courses in each emphasis are taught by professors who are also active, published authors such as award-winning poet David Clewell, award-winning playwright Michael Erickson, and literary critic Meg Sempreora, winner of the 2007 William T. Kemper Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Students in the honors program combine their English studies with study abroad and/or study of a foreign language, broadening their scope and deepening their experience. Students with an interest in film frequently combine their English studies with work in the film studies program in Webster's School of Communications, and a number of English majors also earn degrees in education in preparation for high school teaching.
No matter which area of emphasis you select, your English curriculum will be founded on intensive, close reading of literature and the development of strong writing skills. And no matter which path you seek after college, you will graduate with the critical reading, thinking and communication skills necessary to make a mark on the world in whatever way you desire.
