2014 New York Yankees Official Yearbook – ON SALE NOW
April 11, 2014 – The 2014 New York Yankees Official Yearbook is on sale now.
You can purchase print version of the Yearbook by calling (800) GO-YANKS, and you can purchase the print or digital versions by logging on to http://www.yankees.com/publications.
For many reasons, this Yearbook is one of the greatest keepsakes in baseball. For starters, Derek Jeter graces the cover, and the captain is the first person to be featured by himself on the cover a Yankees Yearbook since Don Mattingly earned that distinction in 1992.
In the cover photo, which was taken by Yankees team photographer James Petrozzello, Jeter has a huge smile (see blog entry below about the photo shoot). Jeter's love of the game and the pride he takes in wearing the pinstripes is captured in this rare photo. The cover also features a line that reads, "The Final Season of Derek Jeter."
The interior of the book is pretty special, as well. In addition to a feature story on the Yankees free agent acquisitions, a 2014 season preview, and bios on every player and coach, this publication includes a massive section on Mariano Rivera.
In the nearly 100-page tribute to the greatest closer, 53 pages are dedicated to Rivera's farewell tour. Our team of editors, writers and photographers were in every city that the Yankees played in last season. We documented the many ways that Rivera was honored along with all the instances in which he met with small groups of fans, thanking them for their support of the game.
The Rivera section also includes a career retrospective by deputy editor Kristina M. Dodge along with my story about the Yankees recent trip to Panama, where Rivera was honored in his home country. Closer to home, the New York Giants recognized Rivera last fall by making him an honorary captain before their win against the Minnesota Vikings (see blog entry below). I was with Rivera on the field that night, and I am proud of the story I was able to put together for the Yearbook.
There is also a section on the legendary career of Andy Pettitte in the Yearbook. That section includes my feature on Pettitte's final game (see blog entry below) along with a photo essay that will take you through all the great seasons Pettitte spent in pinstripes.
Finally, Joe DiMaggio would have turned 100 in 2014, and contributing writer Pete Caldera went to the Yankee Clipper's hometown of San Francisco to put together a special story for the Yearbook. In Caldera's feature, he discusses several remnants of DiMaggio's youth, which still exist today. From DiMaggio's first home, to the restaurants he once frequented to the church that he received his first Holy Communion in, to the playground where he first swung a bat, Caldera described all the key places from the great centerfielder's earliest days. What resonated with me the most when I read Caldera's story was that even after DiMaggio's death, his presence is still very much alive in San Francisco.
The 2014 New York Yankees Official Yearbook spans generations of great players and teams. It's a keepsake for the ages.

April Issue of Yankees Magazine – ON SALE NOW
April 11, 2014 – The April Issue of Yankees Magazine is on sale now. You can purchase a subscription to the print version of Yankees Magazine by calling (800) GO-YANKS, and you can purchase a print or digital subscription by visiting http://www.yankees.com/publications.
This edition of the team's flagship publication includes several exclusive stories. From the team's newest players to the honor of a lifetime for one of the Yankees greatest players — plus a lot more — it's all in this extraordinary issue.
Masahiro Tanaka is the subject of the cover story. I was fortunate enough to spend more than an hour with the star pitcher on one of his first days in the United States (see blog entry below). In our conversation, which took place over lunch, Tanaka spoke candidly about his career in Japan and his expectations for the future.
I also wrote a lengthy feature on the Yankees spring training trip to Panama, during which Mariano Rivera was honored in his home country (see blog entry below). A few weeks before that trip, I interviewed former President Bill Clinton in his midtown Manhattan office for a special "5 Minutes with…" piece that I believe is a must read (see blog entry below).
There is a second "5 Minutes with…" feature in this issue. In November, I interviewed former NFL quarterback Jay Fiedler over dinner in New York City. Fiedler's story is a real inspiration, and I am excited to have published my interview with him in Yankees Magazine.
After a record-breaking career at Dartmouth College, Fiedler signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent. After two seasons in Philly, Fiedler found himself out of football for two years. But, regardless of how bleak things looked, he never gave up on his dream of becoming a starting quarterback in the NFL. Through tremendous determination, Fiedler made his way back to the NFL, eventually becoming the Miami Dolphins starting quarterback in 2000.
Executive editor Ken Derry wrote two features in this issue. Derry traveled to the Yankees Baseball Academy in the Dominican Republic to explore how so many of the organization's prospects and established players hone their craft. Derry also interviewed Jacoby Ellsbury during spring training for a feature on the Yankees new centerfielder.
There are several other great stories in this issue. Grab your copy now!

Horsehide and Pigskin
March 24, 2014 – On Friday night (March 21), Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino was at George M. Steinbrenner Field for the second time in two years to throw out a ceremonial first pitch.
Marino, who was representing Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, an Italian restaurant that has locations in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida, took a unique approach to the mound.
A few minutes before he went out to the mound, Marino was asked to autograph a football. As he was signing the pigskin, Yankees clubhouse manager Lou Cucuzza suggested that he throw the football rather than a baseball.
"I can't do that," Marino said. "Everyone is expecting me to throw a baseball."
But on second thought, Marino came up with a great idea.
"I'm going to throw the first pitch with a baseball," Marino said. "Then, I'll throw the football."
That's exactly what he did. Marino tossed a strike to Jorge Posada with a baseball, before picking up a football and completing a pass to the former catcher.
There will be an article in the April Issue of Yankees Magazine on Marino's first pitches. I also interviewed Marino, who played quarterback for the Miami Dolphins for his entire 17-year career, and Posada, who wore pinstripes for the same number of years, before the Yankees' game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
During the interview, which can only be read below, Marino shared his memories of being at Yankee Stadium on the mid-winter day that Posada announced his retirement in 2012.
Enjoy this exclusive Q&A piece.
–Alfred Santasiere III
Alfred Santasiere III: What are your thoughts on catching Dan's first pitch?
Jorge Posada: It's a big honor to catch Dan. Watching him play for one team for so long was special, and all the things he does now in the South Florida community is great. Dan is an important part of the community in South Florida, and as a member of that community, he is someone I really admire.
AGS III: Dan, Hall of Famer Goose Gossage caught your pitch last year. This year, you've got one of the greatest Yankees catchers of all-time behind the plate. What was your reaction when you found out that Jorge would be your catcher?
DM: Well, I knew it was going to be fun. I've always been a big fan of Jorge. He's had a great relationship with the community in South Florida, as well. And, of course, he was a great Yankee for long time. I'm going to throw my best heat and see what happens.
AGS III: You each played for your respective organizations for 17 seasons. What did it mean to each of you to have only played for one team?
JP: There's nothing better than putting the pinstripes on. I get chills every time I put that uniform on. I was proud when Dan put that jersey on tonight, because I wore it for so long. Dan wore a Dolphins uniform for 17 years, and I'm sure he feels that same pride. It's something that has deep meaning to me. I started playing for the Yankees when I was a little kid, and I was a grown man when I left.
DM: Playing for the Dolphins was very special. I created relationships with the fans that will never change. When you play for one team for your whole career, I think you're always a part of that organization in the hearts of the fans. I'm proud to have done that.
Panama's Favorite Son – Mariano Rivera Honored In his Home Country
March 20, 2014 – The Yankees made history last weekend by playing the first major league game in Panama since 1947. I covered the Yankees two-game Legend Series — honoring Mariano Rivera — against the Miami Marlins for a feature story that will appear in the 2014 New York Yankees Yearbook and in the April Issue of Yankees Magazine.
The games certainly didn't lack drama — the Yankees were no-hit on Saturday, and then they came back and held Miami to one hit on Sunday — but the weekend was about so much more than what took place between the white lines.
The three-day event was all about the great Mariano Rivera, who had long wanted to bring the Yankees to his native country. After nearly a year of planning, Rivera's dream came true, and as an ambassador, the former closer certainly made the most of the experience.
The team flew to Panama on a chartered flight on March 13, and as each member of the traveling party stepped out of the plane, Rivera and his wife, Clara, were there. Rivera welcomed the guys he had played alongside for decades as well as the ballplayers who have joined the team since his 2013 retirement with the same enthusiasm.
"I wanted to greet my team," Rivera said. "When they saw me, they were smiling and laughing. I could feel the love from them, and that meant more to me than I can put into words."
The following morning, Rivera and several Yankees players, coaches and executives took a guided tour of the Panama Canal, and that was my favorite experience of the trip, and one that exceeded my expectations.
The 48-mile waterway, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and which has saved ships from having to travel 8,000 miles around the southern tip of South America for the last 100 years, is awe-inspiring.
As I stood on a concrete platform that overlooked a small portion of the canal, I gained a tremendous appreciation for the people who created the canal 100 years ago, and I enjoyed listening to Rivera share his pride in Panama's most significant landmark.
"The people who built the canal are not around today, but I often think about the sacrifices they made during the 10 years the canal was being built," said Rivera. "Those people caught malaria, they were injured, and in some cases, they lost their lives. It's refreshing to see how those people are appreciated today for opening up a pathway between two oceans. More than anything else, I am proud that the people who gave so much were Panamanians."
During the tour, we walked across the Mira Flora Locks on a two-foot wide bridge. That would not be a trek I would recommend to anyone who is afraid of heights, especially when the water in the locks is brought down. As you walk across the tiny bridge, which has metal railings on each side — except, of course, where there are gaps in the railings — it's difficult to avoid looking down several hundred feet to the surface of the water on one side of the locks.
Once we got to the other side of the locks, we toured the building with the computerized system that controls the locks, raising and lowering the water so that ships can pass from one ocean to another.
A few feet from the modern-day control center sits the now out-dated manual controls, and that was as interesting to learn about as the massive computerized operation.
Following the tour of the canal, we ate lunch at the American Trade Hotel, located in Panama City's Casco Viejo. The historic part of town, which was settled in 1673, still has an old-world look. From the brick streets outside the hotel, to the marble floors within the rustic building, it felt like we had stepped back in time.
Later that evening, Rivera hosted about 500 people at a charity gala. The dinner, benefitting Panama City's Children's Hospital, took place on a roof-top deck at the Trump Ocean Club International Hotel & Tower. In addition to raising a sizable amount of money for the pediatric medial center — tickets to the event cost $400 — Rivera also signed autographs for the better part of the night. As Joe Girardi said afterward, "Everyone who wanted to take a photo with Mo or get his autograph, got their wish. Mo made sure that everyone left happy."
The biggest celebration of the weekend took place on Saturday night. After being honored throughout the United States in 2013, Rivera received the most memorable tribute of them all on March 15. In front of a tightly-packed crowd of 27,000, Rivera made his entrance from right field before the game. With Metallica's "Enter Sandman" playing, Rivera walked slowly to the mound, where he addressed the crowd.
"Thank you very much for being here for me in my beautiful Panama," Rivera said. "This is something I wanted for a long time."
Then, Rivera tossed a ceremonial first pitch to his successor, David Robertson.
"That pitch was the passing of the torch to David," Rivera said in a news conference after the ceremony. "I'm praying that he will succeed as the Yankees closer, and I'm confident that he will do the job. I believe in him."
For Rivera, the passionate ovation from his fellow Panamanians and the presence of the Yankees in his home country made for an emotional night.
"To get that ovation in my hometown, with my teammates on hand, that was wonderful," Rivera said. "This one is different. I am thankful for all of the ceremonies I had in the United States. But when you come home, there's nothing better than that. To have that moment in my country, and to feel the love from my people is the greatest gift I could ever get. When I got to the mound and saw my people cheering in the seats, it was spectacular. I can't describe the emotions I felt that moment, because there are no words that could express how happy I really was."
The next day, boxing legend Roberto Duran — who is also from Panama — tossed the ceremonial first pitch, with Rivera at his side. A few hours later, we were on a chartered flight back to Tampa, and by my count, everyone on that plane left the country with lifelong memories of a historic event. I was lucky to be one of those people.
This was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. During the three days in Panama, I had unequaled access to Rivera. I shadowed him at the Panama Canal. I was in the dugout with he and his family in the hour before he took the field for his greatest honor. And, I conducted a lengthy one-on-one interview with the great closer moments after the emotional pre-game ceremony.
All of that went into a unique feature that I believe is a great read. Enjoy the story.

Iconic Interview with Broadway Joe and Derek Jeter
March 10, 2014 – A few weeks before spring training began, legendary quarterback Joe Namath accepted my invitation to attend a game at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida.
With the cooperation of Yankees skipper Joe Girardi and GM Brian Cashman, I arranged for Namath to serve as the Yankees honorary co-manager and to also toss a ceremonial first pitch.
Before the March 3 game, I conducted an interview that I had long coveted. With Namath in a full Yankees uniform — including a number 12 jersey — he and fellow New York icon Derek Jeter joined me in the dugout for a 20-minute discussion (see photo below).
From the moment that Namath and Jeter approached each other, just about every photographer and reporter swarmed them. Everyone wanted to capture the rare encounter between two of New York's most storied athletes, and I felt extremely fortunate to have an audience with them.
As the interview began, Namath offered a classy comment that meant the world to me.
"First of all, I want to thank you both for doing this," Namath said. "This is a real thrill for me."
Then, with about 50 members of the media looking on from the area in front of the dugout, I asked Jeter and Namath how they maintained their outwardly calm demeanors in the biggest games they played in.
For Namath, the question brought him back to Super Bowl III, the game he so famously guaranteed a win in, despite being on a New York Jets team that was heavy underdogs.
"Well, my heart was beating pretty hard before I got out there on the field that day," Namath said. "I learned to accept the nervous energy before a big game. But once I got out there, I was just repeating what I knew how to do. I was doing something that I had done since I was a child. I wouldn't have been out there if I lacked confidence, and I always knew the difference between being cocky and confident. I was able to be calm once the game started, and that came from confidence in myself."
"I agree with what Joe said about having butterflies," Jeter then said. "I've always feel the butterflies before I take the field. I've always cared about winning and playing well, and that nervous energy is there before I get on the field. But I've tried to treat every game the same. Baseball is baseball, whether it's a spring training game, a regular season game or a World Series game. There is more attention off the field during the bigger games, but once you get on the field, you have to treat every game the same way. Like Joe said, when you get out there, it's just about playing the game you've played your whole life."
I also asked Broadway Joe and the Yankees captain to discuss why winning in New York is extraordinarily special.
"The fans really care," Jeter began. "They watch every game. It's almost like life or death some times. They experience everything that happens throughout the year. Also, New York is the media capital of the world, so there's a lot of attention and scrutiny, and if you're able to win a championship in New York City, it doesn't get any better. With no disrespect to any other cities or teams, if you can win it all in New York with all the attention that is on you, it makes it that much more special."
"I've given this a lot of thought over the years," Namath said. "What makes New York special? Well it goes back a few hundred years. New York was special from the beginning. The Big Apple is made up of a gathering of people from different backgrounds who have always had their own ways of doing things but still worked collectively together. The people are sharp, and they will let you know how they feel, especially when you win. It's the greatest city in the world. I cherish my relationship with New Yorkers. I feel like I'm one of them."
After the interview, Namath visited with players and coaches in a lounge inside the home clubhouse. Then, as we walked out to the field, he asked me to warm him up for the ceremonial first pitch. That experience was both thrilling and nerve racking.
In front of the packed Yankees dugout, I found myself playing catch with Joe Namath, and the Hall of Fame quarterback made one strong throw after another. Fortunately, I caught Nathath's warm-up pitches, and I got the ball back to him without making any throwing errors.
Namath then took the field to a chorus of cheers, and from a few feet in front of the mound, he threw a strike to his catcher — Derek Jeter.
"I planned to walk out to the mound," Namath said. "But I ended up jogging out there, because the adrenaline was going. I was really excited because of where I was. When I looked down there and saw Derek in the catcher's stance, I couldn't believe it. I knew he was going to catch the pitch, but I when I saw him out there, it was really special."
When the game was over, I asked Girardi's co-manager if he had to make any difficult decisions during the team's win over the Washington Nationals.
"I wasn't sure how long I wanted to keep Jeter in the game," Namath joked. "For real, I kept thinking to myself, this is the early part of spring training, and he's been out there for a while. Then, around the sixth inning, it dawned on me: Derek's probably calling that shot. I realized that he was going to stay in the game as long as he wanted to."
My entire interview with Namath and Jeter, along with sidebars on the former quarterback's first pitch and his time in the dugout, will be published in the May Issue of Yankees Magazine.

Special Cover Story on Masahiro Tanaka – April Issue
March 10, 2014 – During the first week of spring training, I interviewed Masahiro Tanaka over lunch for the cover story of the April Issue of Yankees Magazine.
On February 18, I spent a few hours with the Yankees free agent acquisition at SoHo Sushi in Tampa, Florida. During our meal, Tanaka discussed his childhood in Japan, his incredible career in Japan's Nippon League and his goals with the Yankees.
In final three seasons with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, Tanaka racked up a 53-9 record, and he put together a perfect 24-0 season with a 1.27 ERA, while leading the Golden Eagles to their first championship in 2013.
Tanaka — who was accompanied by Yankees advisor of Pacific Rim operations, George Rose, interpreter Shingo Horie and Japanese media advisor Yoshiki Sato — ordered a variety of sushi and other Japanese favorites for the group.
Without even browsing the menu at the acclaimed sushi bar, Tanaka quickly rattled off a list of items in Japanese to Horie, who then relayed the order to our waitress.
Moments later, 12 sushi rolls and several other dishes began to fill the table.
As quickly as the culinary masterpieces arrived, Tanaka began to pluck pieces of sushi off each dish with a pair of chopsticks. From the tuna rolls to the elaborate volcano roll, which included crab and cucumber wrapped in avocado and buried under a mountain of baked spicy salmon and crabmeat, Tanaka devoured it all.
"I love sushi," Tanaka said through Horie. "I've been eating it since I was a little kid."
During the meal, Tanaka opened up about his decision to attend Komazawa University Tomakamai High School, which was located far from his hometown.
"It took a two-hour plane ride to get from my home to the high school," Tanaka said. "I was far away from where my family was, but I wanted to go to that high school because I felt that I could become a better baseball player there. Even when I was very young, I was thinking about where I could improve my skills as a baseball player, and when I saw the environment that they had at Tomakamai, I knew that was the best place for me. That's why I made the decision to go there."
Tanaka, who led Tomakamai to two championships in Japan's prestigious Summer Koshien tournament, also discussed the pressure he felt to perform at such a young age.
"Tomakamai had been very successful before I got there," Tanaka said. "As a result, there was an enormous amount of pressure on me to continue to help them win championships. I didn't feel any pressure when I was playing, but when the games were over, I always felt a sense of relief. That helped me to understand that there was a lot of pressure, but I also felt good about the way I dealt with it."
The part of the conversation that interested me the most involved the amount of time Tanaka spent on the diamond when he was in high school.
"I practiced baseball about nine hours a day back then," Tanaka said. "I went to school and finished my studies at about 1 p.m., and then I would play baseball until about 10 o'clock at night. There were nights in which some of my teammates and I would finish up at around midnight."
After we discussed Tanaka's early days, he shared his thoughts on more recent times, including his undefeated campaign in 2013.
"I was just taking it one game at a time," said the 25 year-old right-hander. "I just happened to get 24 wins."
At the end of the lunch, Tanaka beamed as he spoke about his decision to sign with the Yankees.
"I feel that the Yankees wanted me the most and gave me the highest evaluation," Tanaka said. "As a player, you can't ask for much more than that. The Yankees are so rich in tradition. They are the team that everyone wants to play for. I felt that this was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up."

2014 New York Yankees Official Spring Training Program – ON SALE NOW
February 26, 2014 – The 2014 New York Yankees Official Spring Training Program is on sale now, exclusively at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida.
This season's spring training program cover features a photo of Derek Jeter, who will be participating in his final Grapefruit League games in March. The annual publication also includes contributing writer Bob Klapisch's feature on the Yankees acquisitions during the winter months, along with a guide to all the Yankees' Grapefruit League action.
My Q&A feature with three stars from the Yankees 1978 championship team (see blog entry below) is included in the spring training program, along with another Q&A feature that managing editor Nathan Maciborski put together.
Maciborski spoke with two former Yankees whose ties to Tampa run deep. Yankees great Tino Martinez, and Hall of Famer Wade Boggs, both of whom were born and raised in Tampa and reside nearby there today, shared their thoughts on the best places to visit and the best restaurants to eat at in and around their hometown. If you're going to be in Tampa this spring, Maciborski's interview is a must read.

Spring Issue of Yankees Magazine – ON SALE NOW
February 26, 2014 – The Spring Issue of Yankees Magazine is on sale now. You can purchase a subscription to the print version of Yankees Magazine by calling (800) GO-YANKS, and you can purchase a print or digital subscription by logging on to http://www.yankees.com/publications.
Yankees Magazine is also sold at Yankee Stadium and on newsstands throughout the tri-state area.
The Spring Issue, which is the first edition of the year, features an environmental portrait of one of the Yankees prized offseason acquisitions on the cover. In a photo shoot with Brian McCann in the batting cage at Yankee Stadium, Yankees chief photographer Ariele Goldman Hecht captured a photograph of the seven-time All-Star catcher behind the plate. In the unique photo, which was taken on the day McCann was introduced to the New York media, the catcher is wearing a suit and tie — and a catcher's mitt (see cover below).
Managing editor Nathan Maciborski's story on McCann is as compelling as the cover photo. It includes several exclusive quotes from McCann, in which the star backstop shares his excitement about joining the Yankees.
The Spring Issue also includes my feature on long-time Yankees pitching guru Billy Connors (see blog entry below), my "5 Minutes with…" interview with Julius Erving (see blog entry below) and a very special story on the Yankees history in New Orleans, which was scribed by executive editor Ken Derry.
Additionally, the Spring Issue contains a feature by contributing writer Bob Klapisch on all of the Yankees' offseason acquisitions. Of course, those acquisitions include McCann, along with All-Star outfielders Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran, and one of Japan's greatest stars, pitcher Masahiro Tanaka.
In my opinion, we've started 2014 with a fascinating issue of Yankees Magazine, so don't wait to get your subscription!

The Perfect Smile
February 26, 2014 – On Saturday February 22, the Yankees held Media Day at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Each spring at Media Day, the players and coaches spend a few minutes with each of the media outlets who are stationed throughout the ballpark. Many of the Yankees Magazine cover photos that we've published over the years have been taken on Media Day.
This year, staff photographer Matthew Ziegler took portrait shots of every player and coach from the umpires' clubhouse. While Ziegler captured several beautifully-lit photos, team photographer James Petrozzello had one very important job. Petrozzello was set up in an outside location near the right field bullpen. There he snapped the image that will run on the cover of the 2014 New York Yankees Official Yearbook.
On the final Media Day of Derek Jeter's career, Petrozzello captured a magnificent portrait of the Yankees captain. In the photograph, Jeter is leaning against a fence, which sits in front of a baseball field. In my opinion, the early-morning haze gives the photo character, and Jeter's smile makes it stand out.
If previous media days have taught us anything, it's that there is a major difference between Jeter's natural smile and the one that photographers typically get during photo shoots. But this year, for this important photo, Petrozzello and I were determined to get Jeter to give us an ear-to-ear grin.
A few seconds after Jeter began to pose for the photo, Petrozzello asked Jeter to smile. The captain obliged, but he didn't look very happy. That prompted Petrozzello to bring to Jeter's attention the look that he sported in a photo that he took with my 6-year-old son, Alfred, a day earlier.
"When you met Al's son yesterday, you really looked happy," Petrozzello said. "That's the look we're trying to get now."
Jeter responded quickly.
"Well, Al's son makes me happy," he said. "He's a great kid."
Jeter's face lit up, and Petrozzello snapped several photos. The photographer captured Jeter's signature smile, and just like that, a yearbook cover for the ages was made.

5 Minutes with President Clinton
February 26, 2014 – I've had the opportunity to speak with some of the greatest athletes in history, including several Yankees legends. When I wrote Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective and The Final Season: The Official Retrospective, I was fortunate enough to briefly ask five United States Presidents about the Stadium. But with deference to all of those experiences, I landed the biggest interview of my life last week.
On February 20, I sat down with Bill Clinton for more than 20 minutes for a very special "5 Minutes with…" feature that will be published in the April Issue of Yankees Magazine.
The interview took place in a conference room in Clinton's midtown Manhattan office, and from start to finish, the former President answered my questions brilliantly.
I began the conversation with a few questions about baseball including one in which I asked Clinton to discuss Derek Jeter's career.
"I recently read an article in which the author listed who he thought were the 10 greatest Yankees," Clinton began. "I think that Derek will be on any list of the 10 greatest players in the history of the Yankees storied franchise. Derek is the most important example since Cal Ripken Jr. of someone who just wanted to play for one team, who wanted to give it his all and who has always been there for the team. Derek's attitude has always been team first and me second. He's done it without ever being dower or sanctimonious about it. I don't think anyone has ever had more fun playing baseball than Derek Jeter. He has managed to make it a joyous endeavor and to have a good time doing it. People have known that he is all about the team and winning, and as a result, he has always received support from not only the players but also the public."
After Clinton waxed poetic about the Yankees captain, I asked him who he would choose if he could share a meal with any athlete throughout history.
"That's a hard question," Clinton said. "I would have liked to sit down and talk to Jesse Owens about the Berlin Olympics and what it was like to be an African-American competing in front of Adolf Hitler, who had all of those crazy racist theories. What did he see in the eyes of all the German people who watched him compete? How did the way he conducted himself affect the way people felt about him?"
After a brief pause, Clinton spoke about the Yankees he would have liked to meet.
"I would also like to have had a Yankee dinner with Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio," Clinton said. "I would have liked to talk with them about the evolution of baseball through time and the connection between natural ability and training, the difference between what Ruth would have to do now to perform at the level he did when he was playing and what he did then. That would have been a fascinating conversation."
After we spoke about sports, I asked Clinton several questions about his life and his presidency, including one about the satisfaction he feels today about the striving economy in America during his two terms.
"I have enormous satisfaction because we not only created 22 million jobs but we didn't have the great income inequality that we have today in America," Clinton said. "Wages rose at every level. I just did a little research, and one of the economic reports from when I was in the White House pointed out that we had 100 times more people moving from poverty to the middle class in my eight years than in the previous 12 years. I'm really proud of that because we had serious policies in place to help people train for the jobs of tomorrow, to finance new businesses and to help people succeed at home and at work. In my opinion, if everyone who wanted a job had one, the country would only have about ten percent of the problems we have today. The key to everything is that people are able to make their own way, educate their own children, support their own families and buy their own homes."
To read my complete interview with the 42nd president of the United States, please pick up the April Issue of Yankees Magazine.

[wpaudio url="http://idolator.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/JLS-The-Club-Is-Alive.mp3" text="JLS - The Club Is Alive" dl="0"]
JLS start the track off with a direct Sound of Music homage, declaring "The club is alive with the sound of music." We're not completely sold on this musical theatre reference in this type of song, but the track (produced by Steve Mac and co-written by Andrew Frampton and Savan Kotecha) swiftly picks up the pace as it turns into a roaring electro-club dance anthem, with the boys teasing, "You can be the DJ, I could be the dancefloor, you could get up on me" during the chorus.
Many other JLS fans are not feeling this track, but we're on the fence. Besides the Auto-Tuned Broadway musical sample giving the song its title and hook, we're mostly digging it.
How about you? Are the boys ready to hit it big in the U.S. with this club jam? Or should they get rid of the Auto-Tune and stick to their four-part harmonies?

Kevin Cramer on Social Security | |
Social Security needs major reforms that should be implemented for those 55 years old and younger, reforms that include gradually raising the retirement age and that introduce more private sector options and means testing. For those 55+, the Social Security benefits promised to them need to be protected and delivered.
These programs must be dealt with apart from the politics of discretionary spending. The first step is to admit they are not sustainable in their current form, and then have a transparent debate of ideas that deal with reality.
A: Yes. Social Security ought to be preserved and made available as promised to seniors and soon-to-be seniors who have paid in with an expectation of receiving benefits. We should implement a program to reform and save it for future generations. Included in the reforms should be means testing, raising retirement age and allowing workers to invest more of their own money.
Project Vote Smart infers candidate issue stances on key topics by summarizing public speeches and public statements. Congressional candidates are given the opportunity to respond in detail; about 11% did so in the 2012 races.
Project Vote Smart summarizes candidate stances on the following topic: 'Social Security: Do you support allowing individuals to divert a portion of their Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts?'

Yesterday I Made my favorite oatmeal stout.Had a buddy helping me heating my mash/tunn preheat water,Mash,and sparge water.Will never do it again! I will do it myself for now on.I told him a dozen times how important temps are in this hobby but it just doesnt sink in his head.With the brew system i use,I like to mash in at 155deg,that way i can adjust temp easily and fast if needed.So i preheat my mash/cooler to about 166 to 168.Usually its right on.Not this time.He preheated the cooler to 175.Made my mash temp go to 162. With the grain bill i had there was hardly any room for extra cooling water.But after about 15- 20 min,I got it down to 158.Im wondering if i passed up starch conversion completely.Im sure i got a less fermentable wort out of this and my ph was raised.I expected a higher og then 1.056 w/27 lb grain bill. I know how to prevent this again,but anybody think I will get any funky flavors from this high mash temp?
I'd bet not so 'bad' as just 'different' than you expected. Hey, If things were REALLLY critical, beer would never have been invented. Zip locks full of ice don't dilute the mash. Remember to post how it tastes in about 6 weeks, OK?
So far, I've had more experience thinking than I've had brewing....you don't think they are mutually exclusive, do you? 72 batches so far, 48 wine, mostly Loquat, peach, plum, prickly pear 23 beers and ciders 1 sauerkraut 1 Tequila, from a prickly pear wine experiment that didn't work. I call it "Prickly Heat"
Just checked out the pics of your fermenters, Pigpen- I'm jealous!
you'll just have a more dextrinous wort, and a brew with extra body. i call it chewy :~) it'll taste fine.
Cheers! DeRoux's Broux
Ya! it will be fine.Hope its not too chewy though!What a joy owning those fermentors. No more plastic buckets w/ bacteria, or glass carboys.Awsome!!

First pair of polarized glasses I've owned. So still getting used to the weird colors reflected from glass and tint, but the glasses are great. Bigger lenses helps in South West Sun, and fit is perfect...

You won't have that problem with Oakley's; at least, I've never had that problem with any of mine. Give them a try next time.

Tyler dentist rearrested on new charges, bail set at $500,000
POSTED: Friday, December 10, 2010 - 6:47pm
UPDATED: Monday, March 14, 2011 - 8:22pm
Charles Edward Robinson Jr. was out on bond, but he was rearrested again Thursday night.
Robinson owns a dentist office on Troup highway. He says he took pictures of a 40-year-old mother and her 15-year-old daughter who were renting a home from him Whitehouse. He admits to police that he secretly recorded them for the past three years to satisfy sexual desire. Robinson was first arrested December 1st for possession of child pornography and improper visual recording.
When Smith County Sheriffs investigated the home, they found hidden cameras facing the mother and daughter's bedrooms and bathrooms.
Indictments state five new counts for improper visual recording and three counts of burglary with intent to commit a felony. Details are still unclear, but the indictments list seven different victims that Robinson taped.
We spoke with the attorney of the mother who was taped by Robinson who gave us this statement:"My clients are relieved and reassured by the fact that he is once again within the confines of the smith county jail." The attorney also says the fact that evidence has led to additional victims is painful to the mother and daughter.
Robinson's bail is set to $500,000.

Rutger's Student Dharun Ravi Sentenced To 30-Day Jail Time
Re:Hate Crimes should be Abolished! (683 comments)
I felt the same way for a long time, but then someone gave me a good explanation: a hate crime charge is basically the assault/murder/whatever charge PLUS a harassment/terrorism charge on behalf of the targeted community. I think there would be a lot less confusion and contentiousness over the concept if it were legally written out that way (as separate charges) instead of with the shorthand of "hate crime", but when has legal language ever prioritized clarity?

Product Review - Butler Specialty Multi-Game Card Table Antique Cherry
Product Reviews:
user(s) rated
out of 5 starsI was pleasantly surprised in the quality . - Jod
When our in-home office was relocated to a better space, we had a small study with no furnishings just as one entered the house. We had always wanted a dual function game table, but most sets were beyond our budget at the moment. Plus, we needed a game table that would fit in with some antiques from the mid-1800s. This table met our needs wonderfully. It is not fine furniture in terms of the woods used or even the skill in staining. But it is GOOD furniture and the small flaws actually make it look more of the period and like an antique. It was ridiculously easy to assemble (Screw in 4 legs) and cleverly designed. For people who like classic looks, but need to do it on a budget, this is an excellent choice. - Jamesrfitz

Friday evening was a little tense for Jaya Seal Ghosh. She was returning to the big screen after having taken a sabbatical.
At the premiere of "Katakuti", Jaya heaved a sigh of relief. "Bickram is in Mumbai now and I am very tense. I'm glad that my work has been appreciated. In fact, someone came and told me that I looked like Rekha!" Jaya said.
Rahul, who was busy shooting for Riingo's movie in Panchalingeswar, took a day's break and came down all the way from Odisha to attend the premiere. "This is an important movie for me and I had to attend the premiere," Rahul said.
Sreelekha, who had broken a finger, was also spotted at the event. Happily soaking in all the adulation for her performance in the movie, Sreelekha said, "I'm glad that people are warming up to interesting cinema."
Silajit, who came in with his band, said, "I am simply bowled over by Rupanjana's work. In the movie, there is a scene where Sreelekha tells my character — "Tumi ki shundor bhabe dujoner moddhye mon aar shorir ta bhaag kore diyechho!" People have loved that line and I think it will be one of the most m e m o r abl e dialogues in Bengali cinema."
