Prince Fielder Rumors
Fallout From Prince Fielder-Ian Kinsler Trade
The Tigers and Rangers gave us the first blockbuster trade of the offseason tonight when they agreed to swap Prince Fielder + $30MM for Ian Kinsler. Here's a look at the latest reactions and fallout from the mega-deal..
- The Rangers might not be done yet. A source tells Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter) that the Rangers still want to add another bat. GM Jon Daniels & Co. could continue their pursuits of free agents such as Brian McCann, Carlos Beltran, Nelson Cruz, and others.
- Nolan Ryan being out of the picture in Arlington probably removed a big roadblock in agent Scott Boras finally getting Fielder to Texas, opines Tim Dierkes of MLBTR (via Twitter). The Rangers had serious interest in the slugger when he was a free agent two years ago, but some members of the front office weren't as high on him.
- The $30MM sent from Detroit to Texas effectively takes Fielder's contract down to $138MM over seven years for the Rangers, but Dave Cameron of Fangraphs (via Twitter) argues that the same money and years could have netted them Jacoby Ellsbury or McCann and another piece. Overall, Cameron sees the deal as a win for the Tigers.
- Fielder is a steal at $138MM over seven years as he might be demanding as much as Robinson Cano if he were on the open market right now, opines Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports (on Twitter).
- The Tigers were motivated to make the deal in part because of concerns that MIguel Cabrera couldn't play third base anymore due to injuries and a lack of mobility, tweets Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com.
- Passan (Twitter links) suggests that one way to look at the deal is that the Rangers would have been paying Kinsler $62MM over the next four years and with the cash considerations they're getting, they'll only be giving Fielder $4MM more over that span. Of course, they'll also be paying the slugger $24MM in his age 34, 35, and 36 seasons beyond that period.
- The Tigers were worried about how Fielder would age and about freeing up cash, but Cabrera did win two MVPs with Fielder hitting behind him, notes Jayson Stark of ESPN.com (via Twitter).
- Even though the Tigers are likely out on Omar Infante, there are still plenty of options out there for him, Tim tweets.
- Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times (via Twitter) wonders if the Rangers can still make a play for David Price.
- Richard Durrett of ESPNDallas.com looks at what Fielder's arrival in Texas will mean, including a bump up for Jurickson Profar.
Fielder For Kinsler Blockbuster Is Being Discussed
The Rangers and Tigers are discussing a blockbuster deal that would send Prince Fielder to Texas for Ian Kinsler, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com has learned. One person involved in the talks called it a "possibility."
The dollar amount of Fielder's contract isn't the only potential hurdle in getting such a deal done. Fielder holds a limited no-trade clause, but it isn't known if it includes the Rangers.
The Rangers were in the mix for Fielder when he was on the open market a couple years ago before the Tigers signed him to a nine-year, $214MM deal. Fielder took a step back in 2013, posting a .279/.362/.457 slash line as opposed to the .287/.393/.538 batting line he posted in his previous eight campaigns. For all of the concern over his conditioning, Fielder sure has been durable – the slugger has missed just one regular season game in the last five seasons.
Aside from giving Texas a five-time All-Star with a big bat, the deal would have the added benefit of opening up second base for Jurickson Profar. Kinsler's name has been on MLBTR quite a bit in recent months thanks to the Rangers' middle infield logjam and lack of quality second base options available on the open market outside of kingpin Robinson Cano. The veteran has spent his entire career with Texas, hitting .273/.349/.454 across eight big league seasons. While not on the level of Fielder's deal, the 31-year-old has a pretty decent-sized contract himself as he is owed $57MM through 2017.
Checking In On The Latest $100MM Contracts
Every year a few players join baseball's exclusive $100MM club with free agent deals and mega-extensions. Last offseason was no different — eight players signed nine figure deals. The contracts were all for five years or more, so it's far too early to call them successes or failures. As the season approaches its halfway point, let's check in on baseball's newest $100MM contracts:
- Albert Pujols, ten-year, $240MM contract - Pujols had a painfully slow start, but he has raised his batting line to a respectable .270/.332/.461. His last 40 games have been legitimately Pujols-like: 11 home runs and an OPS over 1.000.
- Joey Votto, ten-year, $225MM extension - It's impossible to have a complete discussion about baseball's best hitters without considering Votto. The 28-year-old leads the National League in on-base percentage, slugging percentage, walks, doubles and wOBA, so this deal couldn't be going any better for the Reds.
- Prince Fielder, nine-year, $214MM contract - Fielder continues to hit at an All-Star level, though he has a relatively modest total of 12 home runs. Unfortunately for Tigers fans Mike Ilitch's bold investment hasn't been enough to keep the team above .500.
- Matt Kemp, eight-year, $160MM extension - Hamstring issues have sidelined Kemp, who was the best hitter in the National League for the first month of the season.
- C.C. Sabathia, five-year, $122MM extension - Sabathia, now on the disabled list with a strained groin, is in the midst of yet another tremendous season. He has a 3.45 ERA with 8.8 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 in 107 innings.
- Matt Cain, five-year, $112.5MM extension - Cain's enjoying his best season as a Major Leaguer. He has a career-best ERA (2.27), strikeout rate (9.0 K/9) and walk rate (1.9 BB/9) through 107 innings. The Giants' decision to invest in Cain still looks like a good one.
- Jose Reyes, six-year, $106MM extension - Reyes' offensive numbers have dropped off across the board this year, no thanks to a 60 point dip in batting average on balls in play.
- Ryan Zimmerman, six-year, $100MM extension - Zimmerman's off to a slow start at the plate despite two home runs in his past three games. He missed two weeks with shoulder soreness earlier in the year and has just a .235/.297/.350 batting line.

Stark On Dodgers, Fielder, Rays, Braves
It's tempting to assume the Dodgers will spend aggressively on free agents once new ownership is in place, but Jayson Stark of ESPN.com says it's not that simple. Here are Stark's latest rumors, starting in Los Angeles…
- Former Braves and Nationals president Stan Kasten, a key member of the Dodgers' new leadership group, spent conservatively on outside free agents while in Atlanta, and the Nationals didn't start spending aggressively until Kasten had moved on. Agents say spending lavishly on free agents is not Kasten's style.
- Longtime Braves GM John Schuerholz "wouldn't be surprised" if the Dodgers spend big here and there, but he doesn't expect splashy signings to become habitual.
- For the first time ever, no MLB team has a payroll below $50MM.
- Brewers GM Doug Melvin told Stark that National League teams have trouble competing for free agent sluggers who may have to become designated hitters late in their careers. Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols joined American League teams on long-term deals this past offseason. "When the length of those deals got to nine and 10 years, we just couldn't compete," Melvin said.
- The Rays aren't looking for a short-term solution behind the plate, but they'd like to add an everyday catcher who can contribute for years, according to Stark.
- Schuerholz, who's now the Braves president, says the team hopes to retain Brian McCann long-term, even though there are "no guarantees" that's possible.

Los Angeles Links: Kershaw, Fielder, Cantu, Phillies
At least one of the five groups bidding to buy the Dodgers has asked about the possibility of selling the naming rights to Dodger Stadium, reports Bill Shaikin of the L.A. Times. Naming rights are commonplace in sports, but as Shaikin notes in his piece, it would be a poor PR move for a new owner to immediately change the name of one of baseball's most historic parks.
Here are a few more items from both the Dodgers and the Angels…
- Clayton Kershaw was "less than thrilled" about making just $500K last season, which may be part of the reason the Dodgers signed their ace to a two-year, $19MM deal, writes Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The Dodgers wanted to sign Kershaw to a four-year extension that would have covered the southpaw's first free agent season.
- Heyman also calls Matt Kemp's eight-year contract extension with the team "possibly the best financial move anyone made this winter."
- The Dodgers made an offer to Prince Fielder at the Winter Meetings for a four-year contract worth an average annual value of less than that of Alex Rodriguez, Ned Colletti tells Jim Bowden on MLB Network Radio on Sirius XM (Twitter link). Rodriguez earns an AAV of $27.5MM on his current Yankees contract but one would think that L.A.'s offer couldn't have been much lower than that, given that they were just offering four years.
- Also from Bowden (via Twitter), Fielder's agent Scott Boras said Colletti's recruiting meeting with Fielder was the best he's seen in 30 years.
- Jorge Cantu hopes to be traded to a team with corner infield needs if he can't make the Angels' roster, reports Mark Saxon of ESPN Los Angeles. Cantu has the option of opting out of his contract with L.A. if he's in the minors on May 1. He has also considered taking "a couple of months off this summer" as his girlfriend is due to give birth to their first child in June.
- If the Angels were to offer one of their backup infielders (Alberto Callaspo or Maicer Izturis) to the Phillies, MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez speculates that the Halos could look for Kyle Kendrick or Joe Blanton back in such a trade. In Blanton's case, the Phils would have to cover a big chunk of his $8.5MM salary for this season.
- Earlier today we covered the hot-stove highlights of Arte Moreno's recent interview with GQ.

NL East Notes: Fielder, Mulvey, Marlins, Elarton
Here's the latest from the NL East…
- Prince Fielder said he wouldn't have minded playing for the Nationals, telling media (including Amanda Comak of the Washington Times) that he enjoyed his meeting with Nats management in December and was interested in playing with the club's young stars, particularly Bryce Harper. Fielder said he wasn't sure if Washington ever presented him with a formal contract offer.
- The Mets have signed right-hander Kevin Mulvey to a minor league contract, according to the club's minor league Twitter feed. Mulvey was originally drafted by the Mets in the second round of the 2006 draft. He was part of the trade package New York sent to Minnesota in the Johan Santana deal and, in 2009, was sent by the Twins to the Diamondbacks in exchange for Jon Rauch. The D'Backs released Mulvey last week. Mulvey last pitched in the big leagues in 2010 and has a 7.90 ERA in 27 1/3 career Major League innings.
- The early impression of the Marlins' new stadium is that it favors hitters when the retractable roof is open and favors pitchers when the roof is closed, reports Robbie Levin of the Miami Herald.
- Scott Elarton's trip with his son to a Phillies/Rockies game last summer was the first step in Elarton eventually signing a minor league deal with the Phillies, reports Bob Brookover of the Philadelphia Inquirer. The 10-year veteran last pitched in the Majors in 2008 and his last taste of pro ball was 16 games with the White Sox Triple-A affiliate in 2010.

Quick Hits: Fielder, Mets, Harper
It's only Spring Training, but Jerry Dipoto's new additions looked good in the Angels' exhibition contest today, as Mike DiGiovanna of the LA Times explains. Albert Pujols collected two hits, C.J. Wilson and Brad Mills each pitched two scoreless innings and Chris Iannetta homered. Here are today's links…
- Prince Fielder told Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com that joining the Tigers was 'a dream come true' that he didn't even dream about. GM Dave Dombrowski says owner Mike Ilitch's aggressiveness made the $214MM Fielder deal possible. "He is in a situation where he wants to win,'' Dombrowski said.
- Mets owner Fred Wilpon will have to pay as much as $83.3MM, a court ruled today, according to ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin. Irving Picard seeks to recover that sum for losers in Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme. All but $1.7MM of that amount is associated with Wilpon's other businesses and charities, so in theory the Mets won't be affected substantially.
- Agent Scott Boras suggested the Mets would be better off if their current owners are replaced, Vincent M. Mallozzi of the New York Times writes. "There has to be an equation where there are requirements for ownership to perform at certain levels, and if they don't, they would lose their right to own a club and be replaced," Boras said.
- Bryce Harper still has his doubters, but he's clear about his goals for the 2012 season, as Yahoo's Jeff Passan writes. The outfield prospect wants to push his way onto the Nationals' roster by performing well this Spring Training. Once he gets there, he's "poised to take the mantel from [Alex Rodriguez] as the ballplayer simultaneously most respected and loathed," Passan writes.

NL West Notes: Diamondbacks, Padres, Fielder
We've checked in on the NL East and the NL Central this evening. Let's complete the tour of the National League with this set of links…
- GM Kevin Towers says he's on the lookout for catching depth, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic (on Twitter). The Diamondbacks and Miguel Montero tabled extension talks for now and Arizona doesn't have a frontline catcher in its system.
- Padres pitching prospects Robbie Erlin, Joe Wieland and Andrew Cashner have impressed assistant GM A.J. Hinch early on in Spring Training, Corey Brock of MLB.com reports.
- It sounds like the Dodgers were the runner up in the Prince Fielder bidding, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets. The Orioles appear to have come in third behind Los Angeles and Detroit. Heyman reported in January that the Dodgers offered Fielder a seven-year deal worth over $160MM.

AL West Notes: Young, Mariners, A's, Cantu
The Rangers' deal with Dominican teenager Jairo Beras created a stir today, since MLB and many of its clubs thought the prospect was 16 and therefore ineligible to sign. Here are more notes from the AL West…
- Michael Young told MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan that he embraces his role as a utility player and wants to remain with the Rangers long-term. Young wanted out of Texas a year ago this time, but he had a big season at the plate in 2011 and appears to have settled into his new role. You'll find him on MLBTR's newly-released list of 2014 free agents.
- Ken Griffey Jr. said he told GM Jack Zduriencik that he'd put in a good word for the Mariners if Prince Fielder asked him about Seattle this offseason, according to Larry Stone of the Seattle Times. In the end Fielder didn't ask and Griffey left him alone. "Prince is his own man," Griffey said. "You can't jeopardize relationships. If he had asked me about it, I would have talked about it."
- The Athletics want to take a real look at Josh Donaldson at third base and are unlikely to explore the free agent market for third basemen any time soon, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle tweets. Miguel Tejada has said he'd like the chance to return to Oakland, but a reunion seems unlikely.
- Jorge Cantu's contract with the Angels includes a May 1st opt-out date, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com tweets.

Cafardo On Lannan, Bourjos, Cespedes, Vazquez
Jason Varitek is facing a very difficult decision, and the catcher has been considering the very difficult reality of retirement, writes Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe. Varitek, who turns 40 in April, would seem to be a good fit in Minnesota. The Twins will likely carry three catchers as Joe Mauer will need time to DH and rest and Ryan Doumit will mostly DH while also backing up Mauer.
Varitek isn't the only veteran wondering about his baseball future. Ivan Rodriguez, Johnny Damon, Magglio Ordonez, and Vladimir Guerrero also hope to continue playing in 2012. Here's more from Cafardo..
- There is a lot of speculation that the Nationals will deal John Lannan to the Angels for Peter Bourjos, with the Halos putting Mike Trout in center field. The Nats beat Lannan in arbitration last week and were said to be aggressively shopping the left-hander.
- Alternatively, the Nats could move Jayson Werth to center and sign a right fielder. Cafardo adds that it now appears that Yoenis Cespedes is not in their plans and they have cooled on B.J. Upton.
- Javier Vazquez is retired for now, but Cafardo wonders if a team could convince him to play. An AL GM remarked that Vazquez would be a perfect fourth or fifth starter on a contending team and believes that the pitcher looks as good as he's ever been.
- Scott Boras is no longer representing Manny Ramirez. Ramirez signed on with Boras in early 2008 and the agent negotiated the slugger's two-year, $45MM contract with the Dodgers the following year.
- Boras wound up receiving eight offers in total for Prince Fielder, including the winning bid from the Tigers.
- A couple of agents are frustrated after dealing with the Red Sox front office/ownership lately as compared to what they were used to in the past. However, there has been quite a bit of praise for GM Ben Cherington.
- Right-hander Brandon Webb hasn't given up on pitching and according to one American League executive, the plan is for the 32-year-old to throw for teams sometime in March.
- Mark Prior is also looking to attempt one more comeback. The right-hander, who spent some of last season with the Yankees, had surgery for a sports hernia and the problem isn't completely corrected. Like Webb, Prior could work out for teams as early as March.
- Knuckleballer Charlie Haeger was supposed to be in Red Sox minor league camp but instead ripped up his elbow long-tossing over the winter. The veteran will unfortunately miss the season.
- Cafardo feels that the Red Sox missed an opportunity to sign Edwin Jackson to a good value deal at one year, $10MM and shouldn't let Roy Oswalt slip away now.

If men just stopped raping, we wouldn't need the pd.id
According to Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter, women are "bombarded with warnings to modify their behaviour" in order to avoid rape. For instance, women are advised to watch bartenders mix their drinks, limit their alcohol consumption, and never leave their beverages unattended.
If a $100,000 crowdfunding campaign is successful, women may soon be asked to "adjust" their behaviour in another way. The Toronto-based developers of the pd.id ("Your Personal Drink ID") have already raised over $8,000 on Indiegogo.
The pd.id is billed as a "small battery-operated device that, when immersed in a beverage, will identify whether the drink has been drugged". The gadget will fit in a pocket and be reusable.
The Indiegogo page describes the process of using the pd.id:
Every fluid or drink is made up of a spectrum of molecular components.
Once immersed, the pd.id collects a tiny sample of the fluid in its reservoir.
It then performs three different tests to identify the drink and its components.
Although extremely high tech in function, pd.id is very easy to use. Simply dip, wait a few seconds and the LED light will indicate if your drink has been drugged.
The pd.id can also pair and function in tandem with your smart phone, accessing an extensive database of drink profiles and alerting you with a text or call that your drink has been tampered with.
The pd.id is expected to ship in April 2015 at a cost of $75 per device. On Indiegogo, potential users are told to "Empower yourself" with this "revolutionary device".
Of course, if men just stopped raping, we wouldn't need the pd.id. "Most rapists are average men," Rape Relief notes in A Feminist Guide to Rape Drugs.
As Rape Relief argues, "Directions to avoid rape place the responsibility for preventing rape on women, while letting rapists off the hook." The organization maintains that a better solution is "for men to challenge their male friends who choose to attack women by using drugs and alcohol".

But in seriousness, say we put every man on the planet through a consent bootcamp, do you really think it'll stop rape?

Ladies...just stay home...it might be safer. Might.
More public education regarding consent absolutely will decrease rape in Canada. There are two kinds of rapists, psychopathic (intentionally causes harm, difficult to prevent), and non-psychopathic rapists (uneducated about consent, very preventable). Non-psychopathic rapists most likely would not commit rape if they realised that that was what they were doing.
That being said, I hope this device works perfectly, because there could be a lot riding on it. This device could be a great deterrent for the psychopathic rapist who can't be deterred by consent education.
I never said awareness won't help, but the premise of 'tell men not to rape' is knee-jerk and ignorant. It is the intellectual equivalent of answering 'NO U!' when someone insults you.
Some people are very interested in understanding the issue, and some are more concerned with coiffing their outrage.
Do I think that putting every man through anti-rape boot camp would end rape?
Well, no.
But do I think that reducing rape is worthwhile and we as a society should think about and experiment with different approaches to achieving that end? Well, yes.
Just because there is probably no instant panacea against a form of crime doesn't mean that it is worthless to pursue it.
That dovetails with my comment on Rape Relief's observations to the effect that the onus is being put on women to reduce their vulnerability rather than on men to act in accordance with law and dignity: what's wrong with doing both?
Yes, certainly, all competent adults have a responsibility to avoid hurting others except in accordance with the law. The rapist is the criminal; the raped person is not a co-conspirator in her or his victimization, legally speaking.
But practically speaking, do we lock our doors, look both ways before we cross the street even though the light is green, and take our keys and phone with us when we go to the washroom rather than leave them on the table?
Of course we do. We reduce our victimization profile. That doesn't mean that people who don't do that are asking for it. It means they are extremely trusting - far more trusting than conditions warrant.
Again I never said that raising awareness isn't worthwhile. It's necessary and will improve things over time.
My issue is that the premise of 'tell men not to rape' is that this is something we can actually do to end rape as a phenomena. It also creates this vague us VS them dichotomy, when the problem is much more complex than that. Who is 'men'? Explain to me concretely how you're going to accomplish telling all men to stop (@author).
I know it sucks to be told to be careful in certain situations. It REALLY sucks and I wish it were different but it isn't. However this is not slut-shaming. This is not sexist. It is reasonable advice.
It is not about learning when to say no to another drink. Women are raped while sober, while drugged, while at home, at work, when they go out.
Rape is an act of male violence against women in order to control us.
If men would call out their male friends, support and believe women, and use their privilege this device would not be needed at all.

Leading missile weapon of the Middle Ages, consisting of a short bow fixed transversely on a stock, with a groove to guide the missile and a trigger to release it. The missile, known as a bolt, was usually an arrow or dart. First used in antiquity, it was an important advance in warfare. Its destructive power came from its metal bow, which could propel a bolt with enough velocity to pierce chain mail and gave it a range of up to 1,000 ft (300 m). Powerful and versatile, it remained in use even after the introduction of the longbow and firearms and was not discarded until the 15th century. It has been used in modern times to hunt big game.

The description for this says that it has an arrow and distance meter, but it only has one antenna, is the arrow not actually a direction indicator. If not what are they talking about?
From what I've heard, the arrow does not point to indicate direction like those on a multiple antenna device. Instead, it grows larger to indicate signal strength. When the arrow is at it's longest, the device will be pointing in the direction along the flux line towards (or away from) the transmitting beacon.
This is similar to the arrow on the Ortovox M2 (which I have used)
The arrow gets bigger when you are pointed more directly toward the signal. It is super intuitive you understand what you are looking at directly.

Once again I'm pleased with my results with Saturn. I'm not sure if it's just lower expectations, the fact Saturn is very easy to focus on or where it's in the sky the seeing is better despite the fact it's low, but I am much happier with my Saturn results then Jupiter. Perhaps I expect too much from the king where as any image of Saturn is pretty much going to be beautiful.
Due to the slower frame rates I really struggled to finish this before it got too bright. Did the IR last and the sky was pretty blue. Again in the -20s with the windchill but the jetstream seems to be over as the seeing was pretty good for my location.
Gain was at 100% for all channels so I tried my best to denoise. 4000 red and green frames 3000 blue and 5000 IR. The blue channel was only at about 17 fps. The ASI120 was showing the chip at -7 so maybe the free cooling helped with the noise
I also got a quick Mars, and Jupiter earlier, and again the sun later. For the next few clear nights its work for 8+ hrs and gone for about 9.5 and every 5hrs otherwise imaging something in the solar system...

Sissoko Is No Utility Man!
Alan Pardew has vowed to find Moussa Sissoko's best position - and get the best out of the midfielder.
Alan Pardew: "You could argue that Moussa Sissoko needs to define a position.
"He needs to find a position and he needs to be in the first team.
"If he's going to play behind the striker, then he needs a few more goals.
"If he's going to play through the middle, then who comes out? Is it going to be Cheik Tiote or Yohan Cabaye?
"Or is he going to play on the side, where he played for France and Toulouse?
"He's an important factor in this team. His position evolves in our team.
"I think he is a terrific player, and I don't think we've seen the best of him."

In another break from the former administration's approach to law and order and questions of constitutional rights, the NYPD has dissolved the police detachment that had been infiltrating the Muslim community in order to thwart any planned acts of terrorism.
Known as the Demographics Unit or Zone Assessment Unit, the detachment had been heavily criticized by religious, ethnic and civil liberties organizations for spying on people not even suspected of criminal activity. Its plainclothes officers had been going into Muslim neighborhoods to see if they could learn of any terroristic activity early on to prevent it.
Former Police Commissioner Ray Kelly had defended the program as legal under post-Sept. 11 modifications to the Handschu Agreement, a legal protocol outlining what police can and cannot do regarding lawful political activity. But critics insisted the unit violated Handschu and had sued to stop its activities.
Mayor de Blasio and advocacy groups hailed Police Commissioner Bill Bratton's decision to disband the unit.
"Our administration has promised the people of New York a police force that keeps our city safe, but that is also respectful and fair," de Blasio said in a written statement. "This reform is a critical step forward in easing tensions between the police and the communities they serve, so that our cops and our citizens can help one another go after the real bad guys."
A law signed by Mayor de Blasio on Tuesday gives both paid and unpaid interns the same rights to be free of discrimination and harassment on the job as regular employees have.
Passed 50-0 by the City Council on March 26, the bill was drafted in response to a federal court determination that a New York City woman was not protected from sexual harassment in the workplace because she was an intern. The measure clarifies the city's Human Rights Law to say that interns are entitled to the same protections as regular workers.
"Our administration is fully committed to aggressively defending human rights in our city, and this legislation will provide critical legal protection for interns in the workplace," de Blasio said in announcing the bill signing.
The measure had been co-sponsored by five Council members from Queens: Costa Constantinides (D-Astoria), Rory Lancman (D-Fresh Meadows), Elizabeth Crowley (D-Middle Village), Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills) and Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside), the majority leader.
Members of community boards across the city could be term-limited and the process by which they are appointed could be more transparent and standardized under a bill introduced last week in the City Council.
Co-sponsored by 11 lawmakers, including three councilmen representing Queens, Danny Dromm (D-Jackson Heights), Peter Koo (D-Flushing) and Antonio Reynoso (D-Brooklyn, Queens), the measure would not mandate change but "call upon the borough presidents to adopt a series of best practices for recruitment and appointment to community boards."
The recommendations stem from a report by the bill's main sponsor, Councilman Ben Kallos (D-Manhattan). They include limiting service to five consecutive two-year terms, establishing uniform term lengths and limits for board and committee chairpersons, standardizing the appointment process, requiring members to disclose conflicts of interest and keeping political party executive committee members and elected officials' staffers off the boards.
Mayor de Blasio cited the accomplishments of his administration's first 100 days in office and reiterated his vision for the city's future in a speech last Thursday at Cooper Union. A transcript of the address is posted at nyc.gov under Office of the Mayor/News, and it contains a link to a You Tube video of him delivering it.

We break ground this week (yeah!) and have already decided to use the Shenandoah line from Lowes for our cabinets.
With that in mind, Shenandoah is running a very good promo until Sep. 3rd. Free glaze (ours is $1900.00 worth), free sink (I know they have this anytime), free wastebasket (~$400.00), free hardware (~$200), free Wood-Tier Cutlery Divder (~150.00), and instant savings (ours would be $1600.00). So, our first quote for $13500.00 is now around $9800.00. My kitchen layout is not complicated and their are no "too close measurements". It's pretty straight. Would you go ahead and order? The lady at Lowes said Shenandoah will hold your order for 6 months. |
Follow-Up Postings:
What's the worst that can happen if you have to change or cancel your order? Do you lose a deposit? If you have to change some cabinets, can you get all the others at the sale price? If there's no downside to this, go ahead and do it. |
- Posted by GreenDesigns (My Page) on Thu, Aug 30, 12 at 9:27
That promo has been running in one form or another since December of last year. When it expires, it will be renewed again. You are not under any great pressure to decide now, and there is NO way I'd ever recommend finalizing any cabinet order until the drywall is up and you can take final measurements. There are way too many possible changes that occur between now and then, and if you sign off on that order based on plans, and the dimensions aren't correct, then you are the one that ends up eating any errors here, plus the extra time to reorder for the mistakes. If the installer comes and does the final measure, then any errors are on his dime. (Don't forget that in most states, if the company that sells you cabinets also installs them, you do not pay sales tax on them.) |

Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket Chief Executive Wasim Khan MBE has been an extremely busy man and is loving every minute of his new job.
Error loading RSS.
Right Menu
Josh Cobb said he is "honoured" to be Leicestershire's one-day skipper and is delighted to be working as Ramnaresh Sarwan's vice captain in four-day cricket.
Sarwan was unveiled as the Club's new LV=CC captain in the middle of December and he replaces Matthew Hoggard, who led the team to FL t20 glory as part of his three-year tenure in charge.
Cobb, who flew out to take part in the Bangladesh Premier League over the weekend, said both players have been a huge influence in his career and he is looking forward to the added responsibility in 2013.
He said: "Even before during the CB40 games when Hoggy first spoke to me about the captaincy, he was brilliant on the field and helped me out no end. He was always there for me to talk to.
"Ronnie was the same; they were both really good foils to work with. I can't thank them enough for helping me ease into the role. It is always good to have experience around to help you out when you are in a difficult situation. At the same time I had my own ideas as well, so that was something a bit different and a bit fresh."
Cobb has come a long way since making his first-class debut for the Club in 2007. The batsman went on to make a maiden century at the highest level against Middlesex at Lord's the following summer.
The innings of 148* showed a high level of maturity and composure and Cobb speaks about the game with intelligence and passion. Since his bow, Cobb has gone from strength-to-strength and learnt a lot about his game. He is a relaxed but focussed young man.
Cobb has become well-known for one-day power hitting but has adapted well to construct patient innings in the longer format. His batting is well-rounded while Cobb's off-breaks and razor sharp fielding make him a three-dimensional cricketer.
From being named man-of-the-match in the FL t20 Final win against Somerset thanks to his superb spell of 4-22 to nailing down a place in the middle order in the Championship with his aesthetic batsmanship, Cobb has become a key figure at Grace Road.
Cobb took over the reins of the Leicestershire Foxes CB40 side following the FL t20 exit in 2012 and he will lead the team in one-day cricket again in 2013. Cobb said he was honoured to be named as leader and said he wants the team to continue the fearless approach they adopted last season.
"It was a great experience and a real honour to take on the one-day captaincy," he said. "Fortunately for me, it was a lot easier by the fact that we didn't lose any games! There will be tougher times to come but hopefully also some enjoyable times too with a young squad. We will have lots of energy and are looking to pick up where we left off last year.
"Winning makes the job a lot easier but from my point of view, we have a young side and I don't want to put too many reins on them. I want them to learn from any errors they make pretty quickly but enjoy it and express themselves.
"I want a lot of energy and teamwork; when we beat Worcestershire down here last season the team spirit was amazing. If we can carry that forward with a young side then we can go places this year."
Cobb is also looking forward to working alongside Sarwan in four-day cricket. Cobb enjoyed leading Leicestershire in two LV=CC games in 2012 and the duo formed a rapport both on and off the field after finding themselves in a testing situation in their first partnership in the middle!
He said: "Being captain in four-day cricket is different and we had two draws in the games I was captain in at Northants and Gloucestershire. We came pretty close at Gloucestershire with them blocking out the last two overs to draw in the end with eight wickets down. I enjoyed the whole captaincy side of things.
"I actually broke my finger during the Gloucestershire game with about two sessions left but things were so intense that I didn't want to go off and hand it over to someone who hadn't been involved in the whole game. So I stayed on and had to hide in the field a little bit!
"There was a lot going on with bowling changes and fielding changes, Claude and Robbie Joseph then picked up wickets and they lost six wickets for around 30 runs after looking in control of the game. It was quite disappointing in the end not to get the win.
"Ronnie was really good with me. He was a little bit shocked at first as we were not many for three in the first game of the season against Glamorgan and I came in and played a few shots! He didn't really know what was going on but he learnt how I go about the game and how I like to stay calm.
"He talked to me about playing with intensity and playing on instinct. Ronnie taught me that I don't need to go looking for my shots; that I should go on instinct and let it all happen. He tried to drill that home with me from the other end and it worked a treat."

So, it's Friday night and you're totally excited because it's finally the weekend, and there's a huge frat party downtown. So, you're getting ready with your friends. You're putting on your makeup, you're putting on a tight skirt or tight dress, probably playing a little bit bitchy to get ready for the party. But there's a few tips that you should remember before heading out. My first one would be to make sure you eat. Every college kid has Ramen noodle somewhere in her room; if not, head to the cafeteria before and make sure you eat. Make sure you always go with a group of girls. Go with at least two friends to a party and make sure you are leaving with them at the party because then you know you'll get home safely. Fourth, never put your drink down. Just putting your drink down for a second, somebody can slip anything into them and you don't want that helping to lose control.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you -- through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ -- who in presence, indeed [am] humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you, | 1 By the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you--I, Paul, who am "timid" when face to face with you, but "bold" when away! |
2 and I beseech [you], that, being present, I may not have courage, with the confidence with which I reckon to be bold against certain reckoning us as walking according to the flesh; | 2 I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world. |
3 for walking in the flesh, not according to the flesh do we war, | 3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. |
4 for the weapons of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds, | 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. |
5 reasonings bringing down, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ, | 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. |
6 and being in readiness to avenge every disobedience, whenever your obedience may be fulfilled. | 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. |
7 The things in presence do ye see? if any one hath trusted in himself to be Christ's, this let him reckon again from himself, that according as he is Christ's, so also we [are] Christ's; | 7 You are looking only on the surface of things. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as he. |
8 for even if also anything more abundantly I shall boast concerning our authority, that the Lord gave us for building up, and not for casting you down, I shall not be ashamed; | 8 For even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than pulling you down, I will not be ashamed of it. |
9 that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through the letters, | 9 I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you with my letters. |
10 `because the letters indeed -- saith one -- [are] weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.' | 10 For some say, "His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing." |
11 This one -- let him reckon thus: that such as we are in word, through letters, being absent, such also, being present, [we are] in deed. | 11 Such people should realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present. |
12 For we do not make bold to rank or to compare ourselves with certain of those commending themselves, but they, among themselves measuring themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise, | 12 We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. |
13 and we in regard to the unmeasured things will not boast ourselves, but after the measure of the line that the God of measure did appoint to us -- to reach even unto you; | 13 We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the field God has assigned to us, a field that reaches even to you. |
14 for not as not reaching to you do we stretch ourselves overmuch, for even unto you did we come in the good news of the Christ, | 14 We are not going too far in our boasting, as would be the case if we had not come to you, for we did get as far as you with the gospel of Christ. |
15 not boasting of the things not measured, in other men's labours, and having hope -- your faith increasing -- in you to be enlarged, according to our line -- into abundance, | 15 Neither do we go beyond our limits by boasting of work done by others. Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our area of activity among you will greatly expand, |
16 in the [places] beyond you to proclaim good news, not in another's line in regard to the things made ready, to boast; | 16 so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast about work already done in another man's territory. |
17 and he who is boasting -- in the Lord let him boast; | 17 But, "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." |
18 for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he whom the Lord doth commend. | 18 For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. |

'Sleepless in Seattle' Turns Twenty, Still Makes Us Feel Gushy for Nora Ephron Romantic Comedies
Features By Kate Erbland on June 25, 2013 | Comments (1)While we've spent the past couple of weeks "celebrating" the birthdays of films with dubious honor (though if you are a genuine fan of stuff like From Justin to Kelly and Dumb and Dumberer, that's cool and we respect your dedication to using less traditional means of tastemaking to pick your faves), it's important to remember that there are still plenty of good movies with looming anniversaries that are worth actually honoring. You'd like an example now, right? How about the late, great Nora Ephron's Sleepless in Seattle, which turns twenty years old today? (Also, yes, we're all really old right now.) The film was the second on-screen pairing of stars Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan (their first was 1990's Joe Versus the Volcano, a wonderfully weird rom-com if there ever was one) and their first outing with Ephron (she'd direct them five years later in their last pairing, You've Got Mail). It has the sort of dated plotline that sounded weird even when it was released in 1993 – really, what sort of people were still calling into sadsack telephone chat shows? – but its primary inspiration, drawn from 1957's An Affair to Remember, is oddly timeless. As a story about other people, Sleepless in Seattle is inherently romantic and infinitely watchable, though it's the type of thing that, if it happened in "real life," would sound weird and basically hopeless. Ah, hopelessness, the true currency of all romantic comedies.
6 Filmmaking Tips From Nora Ephron
Features By Scott Beggs on June 27, 2012 | Be the First To CommentNora Ephron's film career – despite three Oscar nominations and credit with re-inventing an entire genre – somehow doesn't get the legendary status that it probably deserves. She only wrote and/or directed a few more than a dozen movies, but in those films she delivered iconic characters that achieved a sense of honesty that few filmmakers are even brave enough to approach. She fought myopic views about her sex to build fame as a journalist, an essayist, a novelist, a screenwriter and a director. She got started in screenwriting because everyone else was writing scripts, her film school was being on set with Mike Nichols, and her work made a huge impact on popular culture and faked orgasms. So here it is, a bit of free film school (for fans and filmmakers alike) from a comedy genius.
Over/Under: 'Sleepless in Seattle' vs. 'Joe Versus the Volcano'

This week finds us looking for inspiration in the realm of the romantic comedy. Or, more specifically, we're looking at one of the best-regarded romantic comedies of the last couple decades in 1993's Sleepless in Seattle, and one that's oft forgotten and sometimes derided in 1990's Joe Versus the Volcano.

3 Waste of moneyChooseYourFate | 09/12/2008 | See all ChooseYourFate's reviews (49)I was really looking forward to this game as i love the other prince of persias, i must admit i was a little worried i wasnt gonna like it as its all sketched and not like the others.First time playing it i really liked it i thought it looked amazing and played great, but unfortunatley after playing the game for a few hours i began to feel like i was going around in circles.Its very repetative, and although it remains stunning and plays great its just not worth the money.Your mission is to heal the fertile grounds with your new lady friend and thats pretty much it the game is very easy to complete too and you can only battle one thing at a time.Should have stuck to making it like the originals.
4 Great Gamereviewking | 22/12/2008 | See all reviewking's reviews (52)Out of the recent releases this is one of the best.It reminds me of Aladdin on my old sega megadrive, or the feeling it gave me playing it as a kid. Full of atmosphere, wonderful music and fantastic graphics. I thought i'd hate the cell shading, but it's done so well it's truly beautiful, almost like playing in a Disney cartoon from the Lion King era.The free running aspect it seriously exhilerating at times and beats the hell out of the overly complex mirrors edge.The game is easy but that dosen't matter, it still takes a while to finish and it's fun doing it. Give it a while to get into though, I nearly took it back after the first couple of levels. The map seems useless but makes sense after a while. Don't worry about collecting all the lightning seeds in each area, doing so will get easier when you've done a bit of the game.I wish I could have bought this for 17.99. It's a very good price for what you get
4 The Prince for a new generationStiger | 15/12/2008 | See all Stiger's reviews (21)Top 10 Tickets Reviewer Ever since its debut on the archaic Apple II machine in 1989 (and its subsequent transfer to the popular console machines of the '90s), Prince of Persia has been one of the most fondly remembered games of its era. A reboot of the franchise in 2003 saw it become popular for yet another generation, moving the game onto the more modern consoles and proving its longevity in its new format.Now in 2008 we see Prince of Persia undertake another reboot, this time for the "next-gen" consoles, PS3 and 360. An entirely new Prince in an entirely new setting, the game benefits from a new art direction, as well as new gameplay elements. The art direction is the first thing you'll notice, the menu screen alone presented in the form of a fluid oil painting. Once you actually start playing the game, you'll realise that all the marketing hype of a "painting in motion" has definitely been lived up to. The world you find yourself in is a glorious, richly textured beautiful one, but at the same time can be dark and menacing, depending on what stage of the game you are in.As for gameplay, the guys at Ubisoft seem to have taken all the best bits from the Sands of Time trilogy whilst adding their own positive elements. The acrobatics and agility of the Prince return, this time in a completely open and non-linear world. All paths do eventually lead to the same goal, but it is down to you how you get there. Wall-running, cavern traversing and pillar climbing is both fun and a necessary requisite and thanks to your partner Elika's magical skills, you won't very often be left wandering without aim.Elika herself is one of the most positive additions to the game, providing some witty banter between her and the Prince, as well as a vital partner in traversing the world and seeing off its enemies. The combat system itself is wonderful, moving away from the frequently used horde of enemies to fend off and towards a more gallant one-on-one style battle. It makes every fight seem like a challenge, with four different attacks (including Elika's magical ability) to string together in any form you want, leading to some magnificently satisfying and beautiful battles.Much as been made of the fact that you cannot die, with Elika saving you from any potentially fatal falls and stepping in if enemies get the upper hand. However what at first maybe seems like the game holding your hand in times of need, just proves to be the same as in many other games where you die and spawn at the last checkpoint. The only difference in Prince of Persia is that you don't have to sit through a load screen and so it keeps the game moving at the intended pace.Just as Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time did in 2003, this current reboot has breathed fresh life into an already invigorated franchise. With an engaging storyline, a great script and most importantly beautiful visuals and fun gameplay, it may not challenge you in the most innovative gaming sense, but it is sure to keep you entertained for the 10 or so hours it provides.
5 "I am the architect of my own destruction" - Prince from WWPREDATOR3 | 19/12/2008 | See all PREDATOR3's reviews (16)Being a VERY long fan of the PoP games since the very first ones i been looking forward to see what would be next in store for us (True hearted PoP fans) after the magnificent Sands of Time Trilogy. The new prince of Persia is a whole new story,world & Prince. After seeing a few screen shots and trailers from E3i was just caputured by how beautiful the grahpics were of the healed lands. Alot of people were hateing the new look the new Prince ,people where scared about new direction PoP was going people wanted SoT Prince back with a new story but no...Ubisoft wanted a new Prince new story new gameplay,which was a very good move it would of been boreing seeing the old Prince on the next-gen consoles with same old moves few ne magic powers and a new story and better graphics...that would of been boreing and would of killed the game. So once the game out,i began playing let me just say there is sooo much to explore in this game its great fun looking for the hard to reach light seeds. I really like the Prince his funny,cocky and a great laugh the relationship between him and the NEW Female character Elika (aka Dagger of Time as i like to call her) Basicly she saves you everytime you fall to your death...YOU CANT DIE!!! lol but its nots all bad the point of this was so that the game would flow through out no more crappy loading screens saying you died. It works really well i think for those who loved the rewinding time back in SoT will love the new angle no buttons need to be pressed she saves you automaticly. So yea the relationship between Prince and Elika is great through out thee whole game you can stop anytime and learn more about her by pressing L2 (PS3). The combat system is very cleverly created, for those who enjoy mindless button bashing will enjoy this to a extend but you will need to block time-to-time but fore those who are after more will have the wonder COMBOS. I pulled of quite alot of them in the game and let me tell you the satisfaction you get from pulling off a 10-14 hit-combo in one fight is epic! if your chain the correct moves togeather you can go in for one attack but hit up to 14 times and come out without a scratch while your enemy is left with a huge damaged delt! i was able to finish enemies in two turns with the help of the combos. There are no life upgrades,sword upgrades or any other weapon upgrades.....saying that the only new weapon you do have is the new GLOVE the Prince has which you can do long wall slides/runs AND gripfalls (slideing down walls) the glove is a very very good edition to the fighting and the platforming. My overall thoughts of Prince of Persia:I really love the new PoP game Ubisoft have done a really awesome job of the game and have left plenty to improve on in the second PoP game. So if this Holiday your looking to sit in your cosy chair/bed and play a great game look no futher Prince of Persia delivers the story,magic,the wonderfull worlds and level designs,combat system. Grab Play.coms awesome offer £17.99!Prince of Persia is back!
3 This Prince may not become a kingPlato67 | 21/01/2009 | See all Plato67's reviews (45)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 100 Books Reviewer An aficionado of the third-person platform genre, I truly hoped that 'Prince of Persia' would abridge the distance between two titles of personal interest: 'Assassin's Creed', developed and published by the same company as Prince of Persia, Ubisoft, and the long-awaited 'God of War 3', which I have been craving for since completing the last installment of the series on Playstation 2. With the two aforementioned games as my measuring stick to all other platform games, I found it hard to enjoy this game as much as I had intended before looking into it. However, whereas the game has flaws, there are a few aspects to it that might just counterbalance the negative ones.The story pivots on the seemingly fortuitous encounter between the protagonist, a quick-witted bulky adventurer who lost his donkey on his way back home from a troublesome tomb-riding ordeal and a sage yet mysterious young woman. As their paths intertwine, the damsel in distress discloses her regal lineage to her savior, explaining how her kingdom has fallen prey to the abrupt release of the malefic deity that her family has kept segregated for generations. Although an opportunist, the young protagonist eventually offers his help and embarks on an adventure that will take him and his newly found companion through a mythical world fraught of merciless fiends and demonic minions who will stop at nothing to champion the predominance of their evil divinity.Whereas clichéd and repetitive, the story mode may still be considered innovative and fraught with several metaphors and life maxims, seeing how the player can learn more about the princess by asking her questions throughout the different stages of the game, and, as a result obtain a personalized encyclopedia of visited places and people, and discover how the protagonist and his guide gradually fall in love. As an innovation per se, I found particularly interesting the absence of the typical difficulty levels that are common to almost all video games. In my opinion, the philosophy behind this choice might be that the publisher wanted to provide its players with a game mostly centered on the interaction with the environment, expanding the usual pattern - jump, move, crouch, dive - to a wider range of acrobatics that will allow them to fly sky high through swanky Persian buildings, spiral into the air, run-wall over steep facades and much more.In terms of gameplay, if the flawless interaction with the environment deserves kudos, the combat leaves a lot to be desired. Nicely hard and enhanced by magic elements, the number of combos, both the basic and the hidden ones, is ridiculously scant and inevitably reduces the game to a continual performance of similar manoeuvres; what is worse, the variety of enemies and main bosses is quite limited, as the player will rarely get into combat during the game and will feel as if he or she were playing the same opponent all over again.On the whole, I will give this game three stars because the interaction with the environment surely warrants recognition. However, provided the shortness of the story mode and the easiness with which Playstation trophies can be achieved , Prince of Persia's longevity can get players going as far as a couple of days ( maybe three if players should decide to clear additional contents), and is surely not a game that will appeal to fans of online gaming. As my personal recommendation to fellow third-person platform aficionados, I do suggest to rent it out only to give it a go and see if their opinion upon it should differ.

The debt of the U.S. threatens to overwhelm the federal budget -- even if the U.S. adds no new additional spending program.
If the cost of Social Security, Medicare and other benefits were combined, with interest payments on the national debt, that alone would cost 80 percent of all federal revenues by 2020.
That likely means either new taxes or spending cuts. And so far Congress has not shown the willingness to cut spending.
"In the end, solving our fiscal challenge - so many years in the making - will take both parties coming together, putting politics aside, and making some hard choices about what we need to spend, and what we don't," President Obama said in his weekly Saturday radio and Internet address.
The overall national debt will rise to 100 percent of the gross domestic product over the next few years, according to the International Monetary Fund and international economists.
Carmen Renhart, an economics professor at the University of Maryland and a former IMF official, says ordinary Americans may not be able to see the effects of the nation's fast-growing debt yet, but someday it will pounce.
"One thing we can say with a fair amount of certainty," she said. "We never know when the wolf will be at our door. The wolf is very fickle and markets can turn very quickly. And a high debt level makes us very vulnerable to shifts in sentiment that we cannot predict."
