On Freedom from Speech
Magazine article
By Roshwald, Mordecai
Contemporary Review
, Vol. 292, No. 1696
, Spring 2010
Article excerpt
Editor's Note: Throughout recent months there has been a heated debate in Britain about free speech. The British National Party (BNP) attracted almost one million votes in the European Parliament elections last June resulting in the election of two Members including the party leader Nick Griffin. There is also increasing support in opinion polls and some local elections, motivated as much by disenchantment with the current government as by support for its anti-immigrant polices. The BBC felt its obligation to political impartiality meant it must invite the party to appear on some political programmes. On 22 October Griffin appeared on Question Time, a popular programme where various politicians joined by the odd celebrity answer questions from a sometimes truculent audience. Griffin was challenged repeatedly on his past racialist and Holocaust denial statements, some of which he has repudiated. Commentators generally considered that he failed on the programme which had attracted three times its normal audience. However opinion polls showed that about one fifth of Britons said they would perhaps consider voting for the party, some out of sympathy for Griffin who stood alone amidst a torrent of abuse from the audience and fellow panellists. This incident is the latest example of a debate about the limits of free speech which Professor Mordecai Roshwald considers from a philosophical point of view in the following article.
FREEDOM of speech is not anymore a debatable issue. It is one of the foundations of democracy, which is perceived not only as a regime in which the people are the ultimate source of political authority, but also as a form of government which secures the individual's rights--rights which must not be subjected to majority decisions. One of these rights is freedom of speech. Who will dare to abridge or curtail such freedom, which is assured in the first article of the US Bill of Rights of 1791?
Freedom of speech is not merely an article of faith. It has also been cogently explained and justified by political philosophers--foremost by John Stuart Mill in his famous essay On Liberty (1859). The arguments of Mill for unrestricted freedom of speech are well known. First, prevalent opinion on any matter may be wrong, and has no chance of being corrected, if people are not allowed to express their opinions. Thus, if the once universal opinion that the earth is flat could not have been challenged, the truth that the world is a sphere would have had no chance to be voiced and proved. Second, an opinion may be partially true and thus the freedom of challenging it may lead to the essential establishment of the whole truth.
Yet Mill is not satisfied with these arguments and adds a third reason for freedom of speech. Even if an opinion were patently wrong, it should be allowed the freedom of expression and argument. For a mistaken opinion performs a service for truth! It compels us to explain, prove, justify the truth, and thus keep it a living truth. The theorem of Pythagoras will not be accepted merely on the authority of the teacher of geometry. It will be provable by a logical argument.
The argument of Mill makes it clear that freedom of speech is not a goal in itself, a freedom comparable to the right to move around and not to be confined or imprisoned in a narrow space. The principal justification of the freedom of expression of opinion is that it serves an important goal: the attainment, or at least an advancement towards truth. Truth is the goal; freedom of speech is the means.
Yet the solid logic of J.S. Mill did not resolve the issue once and for all. For the experience of the twentieth century has shed a new lurid light on the problem. Mill had tacitly assumed that the conflict of opinion takes place between genuine seekers of truth, making their opposing argument in the comparatively civilized context of a parliament, a debating society, an academic forum. To be sure, such people could be over-confident in the rightness of their cause and solidity of their argument, but still remain ready to listen to a different opinion. He did not encounter cynical demagogues, ruthless seekers of power, the so-called charismatic leaders, capable of whipping up the emotions of a crowd and suppressing any cogent assessment of public issues and policies.
Nor did he take into consideration the techniques of conditioning people, brainwashing them, programming them to comply with the stance of the men in power. Mill lived before the age of Pavlov, Watson and B.F. Skinner and the behaviorist school of psychology, which asserted that man can be conditioned to respond to stimuli in accordance with the design of the conditioner. Truths and values are, according to this philosophy, what society, or an authority within this society, instil in people. There is no Truth or Right as such, but only what people are conditioned to believe in through the process of conditioning called education.
Thus freedom of speech as a means for the attainment of Truth looses its Millian justification. It becomes a principle which leading individuals like Mill chose as a useful rule of social conduct and which people at large were conditioned to believe in. People can, in the same way, be programmed to accept the assertions of other religious or political leaders, as indeed has often been the case.
The consequence of this argument is that there is no one Truth on virtually any issue disputed in society, but many truths jostle with each other for general acceptance and for power. There is my truth and here is your truth. There is the truth of one religion and truth of another faith. There is our morality and the morality of other ages, tribes, civilizations--each society or community conditioned to accept its peculiar belief and normative way of conduct. The idea that homo sapiens is endowed with reason and the capacity to distinguish between true and false, right and wrong, is an illusion. Adam and Eve never tasted the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge.
The idea that men and women do not control their own lives, that they need not, and perhaps must not, shape their lives according to their judgment, but are conditioned or formed to behave according to the dictates of an authority (notably a political authority) aroused a vigorous reaction. The assertion of individual freedom to think and to feel as people choose and to arrive at their own conclusion what is the right conduct, has not been given up. The reaction has manifested itself in various ways, perhaps the most effective of which was the literature of negative Utopia, or dystopia, as it is often called. It turned against the authoritarian construction of designed societies, shaped by political authority according to some ideal plan, by presenting the terrifying picture of the fulfilment of such design.
Two works stand out in this literature. One is Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, published in 1932, and the other George Orwell's 1984, published in 1949. In both the freedom of pursuit of what is true and right is suppressed and the rulers' formula forced on the people--not by rational argument, but by other, allegedly more effective, means.
Orwell depicts a regime which is ruthless and cruel and enforces conformity and obedience by intimidation, spying network, incessant propaganda and, if need be, cruel coercion and torture intended to break free spirit and personal emotions of recalcitrant individuals. Huxley's regime appears quite different. It abstains from crude coercion, it does not resort to physical cruelty. Indeed, it wants to make everybody happy. To achieve this goal, people are manipulated by bio-chemical means, by happy pills, by psychological conditioning from early childhood on. The free spirits are not punished; they are removed to an isolated region, where they meet others of their kind, but cannot affect the larger society.
What is lost in these societies is the freedom of individuals to think independently and reach their own conclusions about their way of life. There is no place for a free pursuit of ideas, for experiencing deep emotions, for questioning established ways, and thus (to put it in contemporary words) destabilizing society. The aim of a stable, ostensibly happy, predictable humanity is achieved by scientific means and social control. This, however, requires the restriction of free choice and the control of human emotions and ideas.
Thus, there is not and cannot be free speech either in Orwell's or Huxley's dystopia. Yet the essential problem which John Stuart Mill would have, and many a reader has had, with these dystopias is not merely or primarily the effective obstruction of free speech, but the destruction of free mind. The people who populate these imaginary societies are conditioned, manipulated, controlled by various means not to think for themselves, not to feel as they might, not to judge as they would, but to respond according to the design of the authority.
This is much more than the restriction of freedom of speech. A person forbidden to express his opinion in public, on one penalty or another, can at least cultivate a sense of grievance, can retain bitter feelings against the authority, can even hope for a change of political regime and eventual liberty of speech. A person whose spirit is controlled, whose mind has been shaped by conditioning, programming, by psychology or chemicals, is deprived of such satisfaction or hope. He thinks and feels the way he has been made to think and feel, and believes that he does it by his own decision or out of his natural inclination. His problem is not that he is deprived of free speech, but that he is not protected from the speech of others, that he is compelled to submit to their conditioning techniques to accept their opinions, that he has no defence against their tirades and influence. 'Grant me freedom not to listen', his soul cries out. 'Grant me free space where I can hear my own self and not be flooded by the stream of designed "truths".'
Alas, his soul had been remoulded and it forgot its cry.
The manipulation of human mind by psychological means, by drugs, by intimidation, by propaganda, has not been a technique used exclusively by political usurpers of power and vicious dictators. Nor must it be seen as an exaggerated picture of deeply concerned writers, like those mentioned above. Some of the techniques of the dystopias have been used by advertisers of commercial goods--from cars to toothpaste. They learned early the verity of Huxley, pronounced in Brave New World, that so many thousands of repetitions make one truth. Just keep repeating your statement again and again, and people will believe it. And so, this car or that, this toothpaste or that, are inserted into our minds incessantly--not for the sake of truth, but in order to promote the sales of a commodity. The newspapers, the radio, the television, the internet, are the media for conveying the message. The veracity of the message itself is assured mainly by the repeated assertion.
That, of course, is a far cry from the rational discussion of any issue by the people--in parliament, at home, at work--which Mill envisaged. The advertisement, in most cases, makes no attempt to prove or document the claim it makes. Repetition and psychological appeal are more effective, and the freedom of speech which the advertisers enjoy can go on a rampage, brainwashing countless viewers and listeners, who have no right of protection from the concerted intrusion.
Then there are the repellent messages on the internet, known as 'spam'. Television programmes, with the numerous channels, probably include
pornography, which cannot be easily excluded from children to access. ('Probably', because this writer has not explored the diverse entertainment offered by his medium.) Journals of dubious nature may be exhibited in kiosks: a visual freedom of expression not welcomed by parents of school children. Cars are equipped with radio and the generous drivers often increase the volume to benefit the pedestrians with loud noises of hip-hop, which the drivers apparently consider to be music. A more recent phenomenon are people seeming to talk aloud to themselves on the street, in buses, in public places. Actually they speak to someone on their tiny cellular phone, but being in the physical company of passers-by, they cannot separate them from the intended listener. They may well intend to speak urbi, but their message, or at least the noise, spreads orbi. Orbis needs protection from this kind of intrusive speech, too.
Beside the problem of intrusive freedom of speech which requires protection of the exposed and unwilling listeners, there is the need to defend society from excesses, resulting from the permissive interpretations of the meaning of 'freedom of speech', assured by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. These interpretations, apparently endorsed by constitutional lawyers and judges, actually do not limit the protection of the First Amendment to speech; it is also deemed to cover other ways of expression of ideas and attitudes. Such expression may include symbolic action of individuals, as well as some collective acts demonstrating the opinion or sentiment of like-minded people.
Thus, burning a cross opposite a house of an African American family has been judicially justified by the principle of freedom of speech. Burning of the American flag as a protest against government policy has been permitted as a form of expression of opinion. In both cases, the fact that the demonstration is offensive to other people--reminding them of racial hatred and violence in the first case, and felt as offensive to the country and to its citizens at large in the second instance, is ignored in the name of freedom of speech.
Needless to say, this kind of speech does not lead to a dialogue which may be helpful in the quest of truth. It merely breeds silent resentment, or noisy uproar, which divides society into hostile camps.
Another famous case, which falls into this category, was the march of American Neo-Nazis, in uniforms and with their symbols of racist creed, through the streets of Skokie, Illinois, whose inhabitants included many Jewish holocaust survivors. The obvious provocation of such a demonstration led to a legal suit demanding its prevention, but the court decided to allow it on the principle of freedom of speech. That march is not speech, and certainly does not lead to a peaceful attainment of, or approximation to, truth, does not seem to have been realized by the judges. There was no protection of the people from this kind of speech.
Elections in the United States, especially for the President, involve a series of prolonged campaigns and an enormous expenditure of money for advertising the stance of the candidates for various offices. Money is solicited from the public by the opposing parties, and then spent sending brief messages, so-called sound-bites, on television. Such messages in no way amount to a serious dialogue, which possibly could clarify the issues.
The more numerous the inane messages, the better the chances of being elected. The more money is collected and spent, the greater the chances of winning. Money talks. The greater spender increases his chances of winning.
Such monetary dialogue becomes a substitute for argument. By increasing the number of repetitions of the speaker's stance, his opinion gains the support of more people, or so he believes. Clearly, the service to democracy of the system is doubtful. Indeed, a lot of money could be saved by shortening the duration of the campaign, as well as by limiting the amount of money allowed to be spent for advertisement--cutting it to half, or even ten per cent of the fortunes spent on the former occasion.
Alas, such an interference, even if passed as a law by Congress, would likely be deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court: it would interfere with the principle of free speech. But what about protecting people from repetitive speech? What about reducing the expenditure for talking money, and saving it for more substantive goals? O no, not when democracy is concerned.

It's amazing to me that the Palo Alto Weekly can dismiss all challenges to the entrenched Democratic incumbents in the upcoming primary election as "relatively weak and minimally-funded opponents." There is no mention of the opponent's names, background, positions. To place a statement on the ballot costs roughly $8,000. Former Senator Russ Feingold noted that for a candidate to reach a voter with his/or her message costs about $1 per voter. In our Congressional District that means it costs about $400,000 to simply reach the voters with one message. The incumbent receives 70% of her money from corporations outside the district. Why not do a story on how our pay to play system is robbing democracy, assisting the plutocracy that doesn't want to be challenged?

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Pre-season opener moved up to Oct. 4
The Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves are no match for a Monday night football clash between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings.
With Brett Favre in a purple uniform, the Packers-Vikings game at the Metrodome on Oct. 5 should have sports fans in both states in a tizzy.
So the Bucks-Timberwolves exhibition game in Mankato, Minn., originally scheduled for Oct. 5, has been moved to Sunday, Oct. 4. Game time is 5 p.m. at the Taylor Center.
The game will be the pre-season opener for Milwaukee, which will play at Detroit on Oct. 7 before meeting the Chicago Bulls in Green Bay on Oct. 10.
The Bucks are scheduled to open training camp on Sept. 29.

Superb all rounder!
Love the pull down door opening, the door has 4 metal catches to lock the door in place. The oven is quite large and heavy with plenty of room inside. An large glass plate and 2 grill racks are included(low and high heights), can cook pizza's easily although an pizza pre-set cooking option is missing which is a shame. This oven does not get as hot as other microwaves do, which is a good feature if you tend to place items on the top like paperwork which I do. The LG Lightwave is far more healthy than an normal microwave and the food tastes and smells fresher. It is stylish and smart to look at and can be shown off to your friends and family!. The recipe book is a disappointment as is thin and uses fancy ingredients likely to be left on your shelf and forgotten. This oven combi does the lot, steam,grill,oven, and lightwave your food, so buy one today!

The worse Microwave/oven I have ever had!
The worse Microwave/oven I have ever had! Since day one once it reaches a temperature it stops working.. then it backs again.. if the oven can reach a temperature it should not be advertise or give the option to cook at that temperature. Really disappointed with this product never again.

Product is great but backup is rubbish
Turntable plate broke for no apparent reason after just 6 months. LG doesn't cover under warranty but more annoying is they can't provide the right details for replacement part!
Now been without turntable plate for over 2 weeks and still no closer to being resolved.
Thank goodness John Lewis has a sense of customer focus as clearly LG doesn't

Never Got To Try It Out.
On Paper it was the best Microwave for us, but in reality it's just a piece of Junk and LG doesn't really want to help. Ordered the Microwave of John Lewis, for some reason the only place where you can buy it. First one that got delivered, after a lengthy unpacking, with the stupid Idea of the plastic film that even after removing it, you never be able to get it off in between the gaps, but hey it's protected isn't it? No is not, it had scratches all over it. So it went back. Replacement ordered, unpacked replacement, removed film. Good no scratches. Put it on the worktop, wonky and wobbly. hmmm worktop not straight? No just one leg of the Microwave too short! Great, Microwave going back. Ordered another replacement. Unpacked it just so the feet are free, not doing the film again and guess what... same Problem with the feet!! But thinking it was a dodgy batch and really only liking this Microwave I gave LG a call and told them about my problem and ask if there was anywhere else I could order it from or do something with the feet, maybe just replacement feet that I could attach. They said I could only sent it back for repair. It's a new microwave, apart from returning it to John Lewis, I don't want to sent it for repair. They gave me no options of buying it some place else or anything else. They obviously don't want to sell their product. Thanks LG for nothing!

While your at it, invest in some 'hooked on phonics'.
Chrome, last years Contenders, or absolute mem IMO.
PC's: Nick Foles, Brock Osweiler, Doug Martin, Bernard Pierce, Kendall Wright, and Shady & Maclin RC's or High-End's. My bucket is ALWAYS available. Make a lot, and make an offer. http://photobucket.com/R3dm4n |
12-09-2012, 07:42 PM | #6 (permalink) |
I would assume you are trying to make as much back right? The low-end stuff is the best for that. High-end stuff is high risk. Low-end stuff brings a more sure ROI. If I had $200 ($50 more) I know what I would buy and I would 100% promise I'd make money back (hopefully this said product I am talking about is FS in 3 weeks). The down-fall is the time it takes but it will be a more sure thing.
12-09-2012, 07:45 PM | #7 (permalink) |
Conventional wisdom says Contenders, but you can still get screwed. I'd go with something 2012, which knocks out Gold Standard. Momentum is likely going to be pretty brutal unless you happen to hit a Luck/RG3 or the rare veteran/hof auto. I'd take a chance on chrome again.

I'm not telling you haha. I wanna buy it. But all I am saying is the low-risk stuff is better for ROI. Chrome is the best mid range product right now for ROI. It always is. Contenders is always a decent choice but the high-risk thing again. I like the sure thing
12-09-2012, 08:05 PM | #12 (permalink) |
Its very unlikely that you will get close to 100% return, no matter what you break.

Hope you aren't talking about Strata either. |
12-09-2012, 08:15 PM | #15 (permalink) | |
Of course not. This isn't stuff that you can just find either. No product is a sure thing, but there are ones that are as close as possible. Every time I spend the money trying to get a ROI, I get 80% ROI+. Obviously I don't always bust for ROI, sometimes I bust for fun, actually a lot. But if I am gonna spend $150+ i'll search for something with a good ROI. |
12-09-2012, 08:17 PM | #16 (permalink) |
Only way to maximize your potential is to buy a case or two and the initial price of a good product and bust it the day is comes out. Otherwise forget it.

I appreciate all your guys help with this. I am looking for something fun for Christmas to break with my son and hopefully have some fun on ebay selling it off for ROI.
I do have 2 boxes of Strata coming (don't want to put all the $$$ out for a case yet). I am breaking a box of Chrome in about 10 minutes so maybe I will come back to that again.....we shall see!!! |
12-10-2012, 01:23 PM | #19 (permalink) |
Yeah, like user NeedChapmans did. He lost thousands. Their isn't much ROI breaking cards in general let's be honest here. While making 80% back is great. That's not a profit. Your doing it for fun, think of it as entertainment like a casino, sometimes you win, most times you lose.

I have to say that I loved breaking Inception this year. I bought one case ($800) and made a profit of $200 because I pulled a Luck 1/1 NFL Logo card. Overall, I bought two more cases and I made just over $1000 of that back, but, that is because of a couple Doug Martin sales the night he ran for 251 yards, an RG3 auto, and Russell Wilson was a hot seller at the beginning of the season. I added a lot of Coby Fleener, Dwayne Allen, and Andrew Luck to my PC, so I could have chipped away some more. An approximate $400-$500 loss for three cases worth of Inception. If I didn't hit the 1/1 Luck, the loss would have been a lot higher.

Astros to interview Listach for manager's job
Astros third base coach Pat Listach will interview with general manager Jeff Luhnow on Saturday at Citi Field for the full-time managerial position, a source told MLB.com.
Houston interim manager Tom Lawless was also scheduled to interview with Luhnow on Saturday as it searches to find a full-time replacement for Bo Porter, who was dismissed Sept. 1. The Astros have also talked to Triple-A Reno manager Phil Nevin, while A.J. Hinch, Dino Ebel, Torey Lovullo, Don Wakamatsu and Dave Martinez have been mentioned as candidates.
The Pittsburgh Tribune Review reported Saturday that Pirates bench coach Jeff Banister had completed two interviews with the Astros. Banister played at the University of Houston and grew up in the area.
Listach, 47, joined the Astros a year ago from the Dodgers, where he served as the organization's Minor League infield coordinator in 2013. Prior to that, Listach coached on the Major League staffs for the Cubs (2011-12) and Nationals (2009-10) for two years apiece. He also has nine years of Minor League coaching experience in the Cubs system from '00-08.
Listach played in six Major League seasons, which included time with the Brewers (1992-96) and the Astros ('97), and was named the '92 American League Rookie of the Year. He hit .182 in 52 games on the Astros' division-winning team in '97, a veteran team that included Jeff Bagwell, Brad Ausmus, Craig Biggio, Sean Berry, Ricky Gutierrez, Tim Bogar, Luis Gonzalez, Darryl Kile and Mike Hampton.
Astros get permission to interview Nevin
The Astros have received permission to interview former big leaguer Phil Nevin to be their manager, a baseball source confirmed for MLB.com. Nevin, the former No. 1 overall draft pick by the Astros, is managing in the D-backs system at Triple-A Reno.
Nevin, 43, played 12 years in the Major Leagues after being taken by the Astros with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1992 First-Year Player Draft. He was a bust with the Astros, but wound up having a solid career by hitting .270 with 208 homers and 743 RBIs with the Astros, Tigers, Angels, Padres, Rangers, Cubs and Twins.
Nevin managed three seasons at Triple-A Toledo in the Tigers system before the D-backs hired him to managed this year at Reno.
Astros interim manager Tom Lawless will interview with general manager Jeff Luhnow on Saturday in New York for the full-time managerial position. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported earlier the Astros have interviewed at least five candidates by phone: A.J. Hinch, Dino Ebel, Torey Lovullo, Don Wakamatsu and Dave Martinez.
Lawless lauds Everett
Whether interim manager Tom Lawless gets a chance to have the job permanently remains to be seen, but he's worked well so far with interim bench coach Adam Everett. Lawless has been coaching in baseball for years, but for Everett it's pretty much on-the-job training.
"He's only been coaching for a couple of years," Lawless said. He's learned how to do it. His demeanor is like mine, except he's a little bit more forceful than I am, which is good. We talk with each other. He can say some things I probably can't say in the dugout and that's how it's worked, and it's worked out pretty well.
"We have a really good relationship with everybody in the dugout and on the team, and when the atmosphere is that comfortable you can get your point across in different ways. Adam has learned that and Adam can do it, and I think Adam is going to be a very good coach for a long time. He's knowledgeable, he knows the game, knows how to play the game, knows what to do in the game. To have him a part of what we're trying to do here, it's a great thing."
Altuve memorabilia headed to Venezuelan Baseball HOF
The batting gloves worn by Jose Altuve when he passed Magglio Ordonez last week to set the record for most hits in a single season by a Venezuelan-born player are on their way to the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame.
Juan Pablo Galavis, a former professional soccer player who was recently featured on the reality show "The Bachelor," is an ambassador for the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame and is traveling the country to collect donates to improve the facility, as well as gathering memorabilia from Venezuelan-born players.
Galavis, who born was in Ithaca, N.Y., but lived in Venezuela as a child, said Altuve is well-known in his native country."With baseball being the first sport in Venezuela, every player that gets to the big leagues becomes a name," he said. "Not only here and what he has done here, but also when he goes back home and he played last year and the year before, [reaching] the finals. They become super stars."
The Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame, which opened in 2002, was the brainchild of the Cardenas family, which included a young son stricken with Lou Gehrig's disease. He was such a huge baseball fan he wound up writing some books on the sports before passing away in 1994, and his family decided to open the Hall of Fame in his honor.
Galavis saw the Cardenas family story on a documentary and he started traveling to the United States to spread the word about the museum to Venezuelan-born players. He recently designation from the IRS as a charitable organizations, called the Cardenas Sports Foundation Baseball Hall of Fame Inc.
"I found out many of the players didn't know the museum was there," he said. "That's what I stayed with them. It's easier for me to travel to the United States, getting collectibles for the museum, just like Cooperstown does, than waiting for them to get to Venezuela, because maybe they won't come, the teams won't let them play. That's pretty much what I like to do. It's my passion."
Galavis said being a TV celebrity has helped him make more inroads.
"I'll say it's helped a lot," he said. "Obviously, I could so the same thing I did three years, two years ago, but now they see me a little differently."
Appel throws bullpen at Minute Maid Park
Mark Appel, one of the Astros' top prospects and the No. 1 overall pick of the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, threw in the bullpen at Minute Maid Park on Thursday afternoon in front of senior pitcher advisor/special assistant to the general manager Doug Brocail and Astros pitching coach Brent Strom.
The Astros wanted to get Appel in front of Brocail, who served as the interim pitching coach at Double-A Corpus Christi, before the right-hander headed out next week for the instructional league in Florida and ultimately the Arizona Fall League.
"He's still trying to get cleaned up," Brocail said. "Personally, I think there's a lot he needs to do. We've talked about it and it's a matter of trying to clean him up as much as we can until he gets down the instructional league and out of the fall league. I just want to make sure he's staying on the right path and doing the same things that led him to success at Double-A and he can keep marching up the ladder, versus taking one step back and two steps forward."
Appel overcame a sluggish start to his first full season in the pro ball this year. He went 1-2 with a 3.69 ERA in seven games (six starts) at Corpus Christi after beginning the season with a 2-5 record and a 9.74 ERA in 12 games at hitter-friendly Lancaster in Class A.
"We got some really good work done in terms of trying to time some things up," Strom said. "His fastball was extremely explosive, good changeup. There's some work that needs to be done on the slider, which we did.
"He's very open to ideas, so it was an excellent session and there's definitely thunder coming out of his arm, from what I saw in the bullpen. It was firm, and it was four-seam firm with power. I was very excited for him and he did a good job. I loved what I saw, to be honest with you."
When asked how close he was in the Majors, Strom said: "I saw some fastballs today that could have played last night."
Brocail said his theory when he got Appel in July was to prepare him to pitch in the big leagues, which meant cleaning up his rhythm and delivery and helping him hold runners better.
"We got him in a five-man rotation and moved forward and didn't look back," he said. "Not taking anything away from the other coaches, I told him, I said, 'Listen, everything that you think worked, keep it. And everything that didn't, get rid of it. Erase it completely off the slate.' And he responded very well. He's intelligent, he has desire to win. I wish I would have had him longer."
Astros' Triple-A to be in Fresno in 2015
The Astros will have their Triple-A affiliate in Fresno, Calif., next season, the Grizzlies announced via Twitter.
Fresno, which had been partnered with the San Francisco Giants, will replace Oklahoma City, which had served as the Astros' Triple-A affiliate the previous four years. The Dodgers bought a stake in Oklahoma City and will move their Triple-A operations there.
The Grizzlies play at Chukchansi Park in downtown Fresno. The park, which opened in 2002, seats 12,500 fans and features a semi-irregular field shape with dimensions measuring 324 feet down the left field line, 385 in left center, 400 in center field and 335 to the right field foul pole.
Fresno is in the PCL Northern division with Reno, Sacramento and Tacoma.
DeFrancesco hopes to get interview with Astros
Triple-A manager Tony DeFrancesco, who served as interim manager of the Astros for the final 41 games of the 2012 season, said Wednesday he hopes to get an opportunity to interview for the Major League managerial position once again
DeFrancesco, who led the Astros to a 16-25 record after Brad Mills was dismissed in 2012, was among the pool of candidates to interview with general manager Jeff Luhnow two years ago. The job eventually went to Bo Porter, who was dismissed Sept. 1.
"I talked to Jeff and I hope I have the opportunity," DeFrancesco said. "That was one of the best times in my career [managing the Astros]. I hope to get another opportunity to go it again."
DeFrancesco just finished his 20th season as a Minor League manager and fourth with Oklahoma City, which next year becomes the Triple-A affiliate of the Dodgers. He missed the first six weeks of the season while undergoing cancer treatments. Oklahoma City went 74-70 this year and finished in second place in the American North division of the Pacific Coast League.
Last season, DeFrancesco guided the RedHawks to a Pacific Coast League leading 82-62 record and an American Southern Division title.
Springer: "Goal is to just get healthy"
With less than two weeks remaining in the regular season and George Springer's strained left quad not 100 percent healthy, the Astros announced on Tuesday the rookie outfielder would sit out the remainder of the regular season.
The decision certainly comes as no surprise, considering Springer hasn't played for the Astros since July 19 against the White Sox in Chicago. He went on a Minor League rehab assignment in August, but he suffered a setback and hasn't been able to completely heal the injury.
"It's tough, but at this point the goal is to just get through the year healthy and get to 2015 and just be as healthy as I can," Springer said.
Astros interim manager Tom Lawless said general manager Jeff Luhnow and the team trainers sat down with Springer on Monday to map out his future, and the decision was made with the blessing of Springer.
We felt the best thing for the organization is that George doesn't play anymore the rest of the year," Lawless said. "In reality, it would have to be a rehab stint when you play him and get an at-bat here and at-bat there. Will eight, nine at-bats make a difference as opposed to the other alternative when he goes out there and tweaks it again, and now we're set back again?
"We're going to shut him down and he's going to take batting practice and rehab when the season's over, and he's going to leave here healthy. And when he comes to Spring Training, he's going to be ready to go."
Springer's competitive nature made it that much more difficult for him to miss so much time.
"It's brutal," he said. "The goal is to play and it's tough for me to sit here every day and to know what I can't play."
Springer, the Astros' Minor League Most Valuable Player a year ago, made his much-anticipated Major League debut in April and appeared in 78 games, hitting .231 with 20 homers and 51 RBIs and showing the flash and potential that has the Astros believing he'll be a cornerstone player for years to come.
The 24-year-old was named the American League Rookie of the Month for May, hitting .294 (30-for-102) with four doubles, one triple, 10 homers, 25 RBIs, 22 runs scored and 13 walks in 26 games to claim his first monthly award. He was the first Astros player to win Rookie of the Month honors since Hunter Pence in May 2007, when the club was still competing in the National League.
"It's been a great experience so far, and obviously have a lot more to learn and obviously think I could have done better overall," he said. "In my 300 at-bats, I've learned and I've grown and I go off of that into 2015."
Springer has been working out with the club for the past month in an effort to get healthy, but the team wasn't going to take any chances if he wasn't 100 percent.
"He wanted to play, and really we left the decision a lot up to him and what is the best for George Springer," Lawless said. "We're looking at is as an organization in the long run, and the importance of eight or 10 at-bats in the big picture doesn't make any sense taking that chance. That's what he decided, and everyone was on board with that."
Springer said the bigger picture is more important.
"The goal is for me to play 162 games and for me it's tough," he said. "Being a player and a competitor, I want to play, but at the same time you have to protect yourself and sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do."

Astros showing bunt under Lawless
You eyes aren't deceiving you. The Astros have been bunting much more since Tom Lawless took over as interim manager, just as he promised he would. In fact, bunts were instrumental in the Astros scoring runs late in the the past two games, especially since they didn't homer on either Saturday or Sunday in Oakland.
In the sixth inning Saturday, Robbie Grossman had a sacrifice bunt and Jonathan Villar had a bunt single to help the Astros score a pair of runs. Jake Marisnick had a sacrifice bunt in the second inning Saturday as well.
In the seventh inning Sunday, Marwin Gonzalez had a sacrifice bunt that helped the Astros score a pair of runs. Lawless grew up playing that style of baseball under legendary Cardinals manager Whitey Ford and firmly believes in bunting and hitting and running.
"I watch the game and see how it's going," he said. "If the right guys comes up and the situation come ups and the last couple of games we really didn't get a lot of hits, so for us to score runs we get two guys on and nobody out, what's the better option? Bunting here or letting the guys swing away and if we hit into a double play we get nothing?
"If the right situation comes up and the right guys that can handle the bat and can drop the bunt, I take my chances in giving away an out. That's the way I grew up. I grew up watching Whitey."
Of course, bunting and giving away outs flies in the face of the analytical world, which preaches every out is precious. Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow, though, is letting Lawless manage how he sees fit.
"Nobody's yelled at me yet," Lawless joked. "It's an idea you have to buy into. It's nine guys playing team baseball. Whatever you have to do to push runs across, that's what you have to do. We're not taking the bat out of anybody's hands. We're getting a feel for what the game is telling us to do."

UMass President Robert Caret solicits help from corporate leaders
- Mary Moore
- Reporter- Boston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Speaking to a full room at the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce Thursday morning, University of Massachusetts President Robert Caret asked them for one of three things.
Financial support. Political support. Or emotional support.
On the last point, he said, a hug would be fine. And Caret did, indeed, get the offer a hug from one attorney in the audience who only identified himself as being from Brazil.
Caret was speaking to a breakfast meeting of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, there to announce the launch of a new initiative that will measure the UMass campuses in six main categories with 21 indicators of success. The first report is due out next spring.
Read more: Caret to announce new accountability system for UMass.
It's a way to prove "that we are accountable, we are transparent," Caret said.
Caret also took the speaking engagement as an opportunity to highlight all that the UMass system does for Massachusetts and why it deserves corporate and political support -- and a higher amount of annual state funding. Research and development, royalties and licenses, patents, and more, all of which contributes to a $5 billion economic impact in Massachusetts as a result of UMass, Caret said.
In terms of how UMass helps the workforce, the system graduates 15,000 students a year and between 83 percent and 85 percent of them stay in Massachusetts, according to Caret's estimates. One goal, Caret said, is to propel students through their education more quickly, which will save the state and UMass money.
"We want them to explore, but we can only invest so much in the exploration," he said.

OptumRx Announces Major Expansion In Oklahoma City
OptumRx, a leading pharmacy benefits management (PBM) organization and one of the Optum companies of UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH), announced an expansion in Oklahoma City, where employees will serve the health care needs of millions of Americans.
The announcement was made at a news conference today in Oklahoma City attended by U.S. Sen. James Inhofe and Stephen J. Hemsley, president and CEO of UnitedHealth Group.
"UnitedHealth Group strives to stay ahead of changing demands in the market for health care, so that we are always prepared to help people get the high-quality, affordable care they need," said Hemsley. "The new positions we are announcing today will help us quickly adapt to the changes in a more consumer-focused health marketplace."
"Oklahoma is among the states with the lowest unemployment rates, and I am confident that this is a result of the state's pro-business leadership and our hard-working Oklahomans," said Inhofe. "OptumRx and UnitedHealth Group's recent decision to expand their operation in the state is a strong sign that Oklahoma will continue to pave the way for industry as businesses relocate to and grow with the state of Oklahoma."
"I am pleased that Optum and UnitedHealth Group recognize Oklahoma's high-quality workforce and excellent business climate," said Gov. Mary Fallin. "The jobs UnitedHealth Group has created here over the past months shows that Oklahoma is a premier destination for the growth of innovative businesses such as Optum. I look forward to a long and successful partnership between Optum and Oklahoma." The company will hire Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians (who must be licensed to work in Oklahoma), in addition to Customer Service Advocates and a variety of positions involving training and quality management. The company expects the facility to be fully staffed by the end of this year to help ensure OptumRx is prepared to serve UnitedHealthcare employer and individual health plan participants.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Bears eye Alouettes' bench boss as new head coach
Chicago Bears general manager Phil Emery broadened his head-coaching search to extend outside the country.
As first reported by the NFL Network, Emery is scheduled to interview Marc Trestman, a former NFL assistant who is the head coach for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. Trestman, 56, is known as a quarterbacks guru, and he worked with Bears quarterback Jay Cutler before the 2006 NFL draft and with backup Jason Campbell before the '05 draft. He also has worked with Tim Tebow.
Former Bears running back Garrett Wolfe recently played half a season for Trestman in Montreal.
"He's a player's coach," Wolfe said Saturday. "He had the respect of all the players because of how he approached everyone and how he conducted his business. I got the chance to develop a pretty good relationship with him. I just liked everything about him.
"With us, he was very hands-on. He knew everything that was going on with the offense. He was very detailed-oriented. Having played in both leagues, there are a lot of things about Coach Trestman that remind me of the great things about Lovie Smith."
In five seasons with the Alouettes, Trestman has won two Grey Cup titles and was the CFL's coach of the year in 2009.
The Bears wouldn't be the first NFL team to speak with Trestman about a head-coaching job. He interviewed with the Colts last year before they hired Chuck Pagano.
Trestman has not worked in the NFL since 2004, when he was the quarterbacks coach and assistant head coach of the Dolphins.
Previously, Trestman worked with Rich Gannon and the high-powered Raiders offense as coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2001 to 2003. He was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach of the Cardinals from 1998 to 2000. Before that he made two stops with the Vikings and also worked with the Lions, 49ers and Browns.
NFL teams do not have to ask permission of CFL teams to interview a CFL coach under contract. Trestman signed his latest contract last summer. It was a four-year deal which is to begin this year.
Emery has done extensive work this week in his search to replace the fired Smith. He interviewed Falcons special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong, Buccaneers offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan and Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael, and secured interviews with Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, Packers offensive coordinator Tom Clements and Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians. Emery is scheduled to meet with McCoy on Sunday in Denver.
On Saturday, Emery met with Cowboys special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis in Dallas. DeCamillis spent 16 seasons as special teams coach for his father-in-law, Dan Reeves, with the Broncos (1988-92), Giants (1993-96) and Falcons (1997-2003), and continued on with the Falcons through 2006, overlapping with Emery when Emery was the Falcons' director of college scouting (2004-08).
Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips previously was the Cowboys head coach and had DeCamillis on his staff.
"Joe has head-coaching leadership," Phillips said Saturday. "I'm sure the Bears recognize that and that's why they interviewed him. What he does have which a lot of people don't realize is Joe is very good at game management — being able to know when to go for it, when to punt, when to kick field goals. He's right on top of it with that.
"He's very knowledgeable of offense and defense, besides special teams. I know (the Bears) are looking offensively, but I think Joe would come in and help them in that area."

Officials of Birmingham City have ridiculed a bid from an Italian consortium to buy the English soccer club from troubled Hong Kong tycoon Carson Yeung Ka-sing.
Sunday, 16 September, 2012, 3:00amKarren Brady's 10 Rules for Success by Karren Brady HarperCollins (e-book)
13 May 2012 - 12:00amBirmingham City soccer fans yesterday welcomed the decision by a Hong Kong court to block chairman Carson Yeung's return to the UK to attend to his financially troubled English Championship League club.
Supporters said his presence at last night's crunch European game against Portuguese side Braga would have overshadowed an important date in the club's history.
16 Sep 2011 - 12:00amTycoon Carson Yeung Ka-sing has been permitted to fly to Britain for four days next month to manage his troubled English League Championship soccer club Birmingham City after his cash bail was doubled from HK$4 million to HK$8 million.
31 Aug 2011 - 12:00amHong Kong tycoon Carson Yeung Ka-sing, the owner of English League Championship soccer club Birmingham City, was yesterday refused permission to travel to Britain to deal with club affairs. Yeung, facing charges of money laundering, asked a court to lift a bail condition imposed earlier that required him to surrender travel documents.
12 Aug 2011 - 12:00amBirmingham City supporters in Hong Kong and mainland China are being urged join a supporters trust to help save the troubled club from a financial meltdown.
The trust is being set up to stop a split among angry Blues fans and ensure a louder voice is officially heard on the Hong Kong-based board of directors.
31 Jul 2011 - 12:00amActing Birmingham City chief Peter Pannu has warned fans in England that the axe is about to fall on the already depleted squad.
28 Jul 2011 - 12:00amAngry Birmingham City fans are calling for embattled club president Carson Yeung Ka-sing to quit after making their team 'a laughing stock' by appointing his teenage son as a director of the troubled team.
20 Jul 2011 - 12:00amHong Kong tycoon Carson Yeung Ka-sing (pictured), the owner of English Premier League football club Birmingham City, has been arrested and charged with money laundering.
30 Jun 2011 - 12:00amBirmingham City will not set any grandiose targets in the new season despite enjoying their best finish in the top-flight for more than 50 years.
The English Premier League side arrived in Hong Kong yesterday for an invitation match against a Hong Kong League XI on Sunday. They will leave for matches in Beijing and Shenyang after their appearance at Hong Kong Stadium.
16 Jul 2010 - 12:00amThe top form teams in the English Premier League clash tonight when Birmingham host Manchester United in an intriguing late kick-off. It is rare enough for Birmingham to be at the head of the eight-match form table, but even more unusually this match heralds the start of a month that is likely to see them outspend their illustrious visitors in the transfer market.
9 Jan 2010 - 12:00amSammy Yu Wai-ying, the man helping Hong Kong businessman Carson Yeung Ka-sing's bid to complete a takeover of Birmingham City, last night urged the Premier League club's board to keep a cool head as a deadline to close the deal enters its final weeks.
3 Dec 2007 - 12:00amGrandtop International made a HK$234 million bid for a stake in English Premiership club Birmingham City. Would you want a firm in which you were a shareholder to spend money in this way? Write to us.
30 Jun 2007 - 12:00amAfter weeks of speculation in Hong Kong and Britain, the identity of the mystery bidder for football club Birmingham City has finally been revealed.
The team's owners have offered Carson Yeung Ka-sing's newly acquired Grandtop International Holdings the chance to buy up to 29.9 per cent of the club for HK$234 million.
The only question now: who is Carson Yeung?

A Great and Terrible Beauty
From Library Staff
Set at the end of the Victorian era in 1895. Haunted by her mother's death and plagued by psychic visions, Gemma Doyle is shipped from India to a dreary boarding school in England. Once there she must contend with mean girls, mystical visions, a secret Order and a mysterious young Indian man who ... Read More »
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentThis book raises good feminist themes for young readers, but it suffers from its lack of subtlety. The characters act and speak in ways that seem out of step with the age they're supposed to be living in, which makes it seem like the author has underestimated her reader's intelligence in favour of throwing her point of view in our faces. I'd still recommend it to teens, but I'd anticipate some facepalming from them.
An average, cliche novel... dull, yet some unseen force didn't allow me to put it down! The characters are bland, deranged in some horrific yet amusing way, and the book is overall... disturbing.
While writing in present tense can be extremely annoying to read, especially in a book with a historical setting, Libba Bray pulls it off beautifully. Each character starts off with less than obvious problems but later grows and develops into her own unique person. Like real people, they learn, grow, and continue living. All in all, it's a great read if you want a book you can ruminate on.
I felt that the essence of the plot was recycled: girl goes to boarding school discovers she's a witch/discovers she can see ghost/discovers she has a doppelganger. Nevertheless, what makes this book different than the others is the time period, and the struggles that accompany it. I also liked the main character of Gemma Doyle who was strong and persuasive. I won't read any sequels, but there are still some pieces to complete the story.
This is my favorite book of all time. If you enjoy fantasy then you have to read this book. I could not put this book down. I can't write to much because I hate spoilers but the action does start in the first two chapters. The only downfall with this book is that only girls will enjoy it.
I enjoyed reading about Gemma and how she learned that she wanted to be a person in her own right making her own decisions. I enjoyed the paranormal elements.
I thought this book was about an outsider throwing over the popular girls. But it was so much more, and I'm so glad I read it. Brilliant plot and characters!
I had a really hard time getting into the present tense at times, but what really killed me was characters acting out of character in order to move the plot along. There were many times I found myself asking "why the heck would you do that!?" through gritted teeth.
That being said, the characters did feel very much alive and I did enjoy the imagery. I liked also the underlining themes in the novel as well.
Overall, a not entirely negative experience, but I do not think I'll be reading any sequels.

What frightens you? What makes the hair on your arms rise, your palms sweat, the breath catch in your chest like a wild thing caged? Is it the dark? A fleeting memory of a bedtime story, ghosts and gobins and witches hiding in the shadows? Is it the way the wind picks up just before a storm? Or is it something deeper, something much more frightening, a monster deep inside that you've glimpsed only in pieces, the vast unknown of your own soul where secrets gather with a terrible power, the dark inside?
