'Big Brother' Airs Racist Remarks, Host Julie Chen Says: 'I Took It Personally'
by Tracy Phillips | July 8, 2013 at 11:55 AM | Big Brother, TV News
On Sunday night, CBS finally decided to air some of the racist and homophobic comments made by several houseguests competing this season on "Big Brother 15."
While several cast members have been guilty of making insensitive remarks, the show zeroed in on 22-year-old college student/model Aaryn Gries — who last week was dropped by her modeling agency over the racism controversy — and dedicated an entire montage to Aaryn's disturbing comments.
Aaryn's unbecoming behavior included telling Asian housemate Helen Kim "to go make some rice," a derogatory reference to Asian nail salons, and joking to housemate Nick Uhas that "I probably look like a squinty Asian right now."
She didn't stop at racism, though. Aaryn also made homophobic slurs in reference to gay housemate Andy Herren, saying
"No one's going to vote for whoever that queer puts up."
Another houseguest was exposed on-air for making racist remarks. GinaMarie Zimmerman, 32, who also lost her job last week when she was fired from the East Coast USA Pageant, was seen making jokes to Gries about African-American cast member Candice Stewart, when she said Candice is on the dark side "because she's already dark."
Meanwhile, housemate Spencer Clawson, a railroad conductor for Union Pacific, may become the third player to lose his day job over the derogatory display taking place on the show. TMZ claims Clawson may be fired for his own abhorrent comments, after he was heard calling another player "Kermit the F**" and giving Hitler a compliment.
Watch Sunday Night's Episode of "Big Brother" Below:
The televised footage comes after the hateful language was captured on the 24/7 live Internet feeds last week and created a controversy online.
Several of the houseguests in the "Big Brother" house were seen complaining about the shocking comments and showing their disbelief over what was going on, however, no one directly confronted the offending parties face-to-face (yet).
"Big Brother" host Julie Chen revealed she too was offended by the racist remarks made by the cast. Chen discussed the controversy and expressed her disappointment Monday on her daytime show "The Talk."
"When I first found out that Aaryn, who is a 22-year-old girl, made anti-gay, anti-black and anti-Asian comments, I have to be honest, the Asian ones hit me the most. It stung," Chen said on Monday's show. "I took it personally. I'm a human being."
"The year is 2013," she added. "I felt ignorant, there are still people in the country who feel and act that way? Yes, there [are]. It made me sad."

The Mississippi State Bulldogs didn't bring their best Tuesday night, but it really didn't matter.
The No. 22 Bulldogs took advantage of poor pitching by Alcorn State to beat the Braves 16-2 in a midweek game at Dudy Noble Field.
"We were not playing a SEC team, but I thought our offense came to life," MSU head coach John Cohen said. "I thought we took better swings, (and) crisper swings. I'm pleased with that."
After a rough two weeks offensively, the Bulldogs (23-15) pounded out 15 hits and left 11 base runners on.

The Ladybird, Cats, The Egg, Trees, Fruit, Vegetables, Weather and Colour by S Matthews, Moonlight Books, pp 32, 5.99 Pounds.
Parents exhausted evading their youngsters' infernal, unending questions will be tempted, after skimming Moonlight's excellent new translations of the French First Discovery series from Gallimard Jeunesse, to lock their children up with them until they can fully comprehend them.
In creating a series so compelling to young minds the publishers intend that the six books of the series introduce readers from three to six years old to basic facts about their world. However, where many children's early science books gloss over difficult concepts, First Discovery makes them its mainstay.
Each book begins with a question. Fruit presents the child with a delicious illustration of an apple and asks: 'Do you like eating apples?' Then it leapfrogs the reader into some degree of abstraction, for example, varieties of apples. In each ...

In this Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012 file photo, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the national police headquarters in Jerusalem. (AP Photo/Gali Tibbon, Pool, File)
JERUSALEM: Israel's prime minister says the recognition of an independent state of Palestine in the U.N. General Assembly will not advance the Palestinians' quest for a homeland.
Benjamin Netanyahu says the Palestinians will not win a state until they recognize Israel as the Jewish homeland, declare an end to their conflict with the Jewish state and agree to security arrangements that protect Israel.
The Palestinians have resisted such declarations in the past. They say recognizing Israel as the Jewish homeland is liable to undermine their demand to repatriate Palestinian refugees. They also object to Netanyahu's demand for a long-term Israeli military presence in parts of the West Bank.
The General Assembly is expected later Thursday to vote on the Palestinian bid.

The glittering town of St Moritz is famed for being one of the most exclusive ski resorts in the Alps. Located in the upper Engadine valley, it occupies a spectacular location and is centred around a beautiful lake. It boasts a fittingly chic 'champagne climate' bringing dry days, lots of sunshine and great skiing at high altitude. It must be noted however, that St Moritz's clientele come here as much for the plush facilities and designer shops as they do for the skiing. First famed for it's therapeutic springs, the town has some impressive spa resorts as well as some of the finest 5* hotels in the world. It represents the epitome of style and class - expect caviar and truffles in the mountain restaurants. The three linked ski areas provide much to suit all abilities from the rolling intermediate pistes of the Corviglia to the steep slopes and glacier of Diavolleza. Many guests also come here for the Cresta Run - St Moritz's cross country ski marathon and for polo and horse racing on the frozen lake. A small local airport adds extra convenience for those arriving by private aircraft.

Phong Dang is not unlike many Cal Poly students in that he doesn't like to talk in class. But with a 3.779 GPA, it's not because he doesn't know the answer.
Dang, 24, was the 2009 California Polytechnic State University recipient of the William Randolph Hearst California State University (CSU) Trustees' Award for Outstanding Achievement. The award and a $3,000 scholarship is given to one student from each CSU campus. Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.0; demonstrate financial need, commitment to community service and ability to overcome adversity; and be enrolled full-time for the 2009-10 academic year.
Dang is a finance senior and economics minor from the Orfalea College of Business.
"My family wanted me to study to be a pharmacist, but I just love business," he said. "I think I like to do business because I want to have the knowledge and education to take risks and get good results."
His grandfather sponsored Dang, his dad and two brothers, Phu, 22, and Phuc, 20, to come to the U.S. from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam in 2005. His mom couldn't come for family and business reasons, but they hope to bring her here in the next two years. His dad sends money to her from Houston, Texas, where he and Dang's brothers have lived since 2006.
Phu Dang said he admires his brother for wanting to help people.
"When he grows up, maybe he wants to be a rich man. Rich in money and rich in love also. He wants to have much money to help himself, his family and the poor people," Phu said in an e-mail.
Dang may not talk much or be social, Phu said, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know anything. The three brothers studied math in Vietnam, so they have an advantage over other students, he said, but they still study hard because there is more to learn. Dang said he studies more than 40 hours a week.
"The things that members of my family want him to do is he try to study by his best, try to become a successful person, and the one who can bring happiness to family and everybody surround him," Phu said.
Mathematics professor John Martin taught Phong in a precalculus class when he began studying at Santa Rosa Junior College in fall 2005. Though it has been a few years and he's had hundreds of students since then, he remembers Dang because his English wasn't good, but his math was excellent, Martin said.
Dang was very quiet in class, not answering or asking questions, he said. And unlike other students who attend office hours hoping to pry answers from their professors, Dang came to Martin to have words clarified. It was unusual, Martin said, because he wanted to do the work himself.
"He was a very quiet student," he said. "But I could tell as soon as I saw the work that he understood the mathematics."
Dang finished second in Martin's class, which the professor said is a remarkable achievement for someone with a language barrier. Martin even tried to convince him to get a mathematics degree and said he'd love to Dang come back to the junior college.
"He was hardworking, dependable, all those things faculty love in students," he said.
In 2008, Dang was admitted to University of California, San Diego and UC Santa Barbara but chose Cal Poly for its finance major, small class sizes and the friendly small-town community vibe. He plans to head to the East Coast to get his master's and then he wants to work for a financial firm.
While he currently plans to return to work in Vietnam in about 10 years, he said his family thinks he'll stay here.
"Nothing is perfect, 100 percent sure. I think I will go back, but not for sure," he said.
Benita Yannine Robledo-Espinoza was the 2008 Cal Poly recipient. According to her profile on the CSU Trustees' Award Web site, she was raised by her single mother, an immigrant who worked as a waitress to support her three children. When her mother's business failed, her family stayed at a homeless shelter throughout her eighth-grade school year. Robledo-Espinoza made honor-roll throughout her academic career and was the first of her family to attend college. Like Dang, she studied business and planned to work for an accounting firm after graduation.
Even with a high GPA, an award and a $3,000 scholarship, Dang doesn't boast about his accomplishments.
"I think I'm just lucky because there are other students who are better than me, smarter than me," Dang said.

hi all,
there are problems with radeon's accelerated opengl 3d graphics under X.
the problem manifests itself as the application working, except that no
graphics are displayed.
if you run glxgears, you get the FPS messages in the xterm, and a window
pops up that SHOULD show the turning gears, but the window is black.
another example, quake 3 plays normal, but you're blind. you're
obviously playing the game, but the screen is black. i tried to play
this way to see how high my midi-chlorian count was.
the bad news is that i am no jedi. ;)
anyway, the problem is known about, and i'm passing along this info to
anyone who might be running a radeon under debian unstable and who is
experiencing problems with opengl.

Yes, I figured this out awhile ago. The real bug is in GCC, and recent
versions of XFree86 are compiled with gcc 3.2, which has the bug.
Apparently XFree86 4.3 does not trigger the bug. I hope it enters
unstable soon.

If you get a visit from the Fire Department wanting to look at your smoke detector, you can be assured that it is a legitimate program.
The Swift Current Fire Department has been met with some skeptical people.
"Response is really positive," said Deputy Chief Pete L'Heureux. "But we do get a lot of questions as to why we're there and if they have to participate in the program. Some people are even curious as to if we're there on official business or if someone is trying to pull something over on them and get into their house.
L'Heureux wants to assure residents they are just going door to door, offering to check smoke detector and even change batteries.
He adds it's not mandatory, but an attempt to raise awareness.
They will generally come by between the hours of 6pm and 8pm. The program starts on the south side of the city.

Young adults learn many things over the years, but there's one lesson they shouldn't forget before they head to college or they set off on their own-how to manage credit.
We've all heard stories of young adults who get in way over their heads, and often the blame falls on credit card debt. They sometimes are lured by the ability to purchase coveted items, or even simply by the short-term prospect of living more comfortably.
Conventional wisdom might tell you that young adults should avoid using credit cards altogether. But if used correctly, a credit card can help teach financial lessons, while helping them establish a good credit history.
New credit card laws have also made it a must for parents to teach these lessons to their children since those under the age of 21 must show their ability to repay their debt or will be required to have a co-applicant or co-signer on the account. Whether you are a parent who is helping your children manage their first account or a responsible young adult who is considering getting a credit card, here are a few things to consider before you get going:
- Look for a card designed for someone new to credit that offers tools to learn about money management. While parents should teach their children about how a credit card works, card providers like Wells Fargo offer online credit card education materials that can be reviewed at any time. Wells Fargo also sponsors money management lessons at handsonbanking.org that are taught in classrooms and community centers across the United States.
- For students, look for a college credit card that offers zero liability for fraudulent purchases and text alerts to help manage and protect your account.
- Young adults need to understand that credit cards are loans that need to be paid back. A great introductory lesson for them as they learn to manage their card is to use it to buy books or another necessary purchase. Even if mom and dad are paying for the items purchased, parents can use this as an example of how to build credit by using a credit card for a planned purchase that you can afford then paying the bill off by the due date to avoid being charged interest.

PSoC has a single GPIO interrupt vector which is common for all the GPIO pins. This poses some problems when interrupts are enabled on multiple GPIO pins. Let us discuss the problems introduced by this architecture and techniques to address these problems.
The interrupt logic of a GPIO cell is shown in figure below.
The PRTxICx registers set the type of interrupt (disabled, high, low and change from last read). The corresponding PRTxIE bit enables or disables the interrupt for the GPIO. When the interrupt is enabled in the PRTxIE register and if the interrupt condition as configured by PRTxICx occurs on the GPIO pin, the IRQ# line is asserted.
The IRQ# lines from all the GPIO cells are tied together. This creates a wired OR setup for the active LOW IRQ signal. The IRQ signal is considered edge sensitive for asserting and level sensitive for releasing the interrupt. i.e., the interrupt controller registers a GPIO interrupt when a falling edge is detected on the IRQ line, but will not register any interrupts till the IRQ line goes back to HIGH state. This creates problems in detecting multiple interrupts occurring simultaneously.
For example, consider the scenario #1 shown in figure below.
GPIO#1 is configured for high level interrupt whereas GPIO#2 is configured for low level interrupt. When GPIO#1 goes high, the IRQ line is asserted and the interrupt controller posts an interrupt. While GPIO#1 is high asserting the IRQ line, GPIO#2 too goes low asserting the IRQ signal, and goes high de-asserting it before GPIO#1 de-asserts the IRQ. As no change is registered on the IRQ line, the interrupt from GPIO#2 is not registered by the interrupt controller.
Now consider another scenario #2 shown in figure below.
In this case, GPIO#1 asserts the IRQ line. Before it de-asserts the IRQ line, GPIO#2 also asserts the IRQ line. GPIO#2 continues to assert the IRQ line even after GPIO#1 de-asserts. As there is no state change on the IRQ line, the interrupt controller does not register the interrupt from GPIO#2.
Well. How do we address these scenarios? Below are some techniques that can be used to overcome these situations.
1. As soon as a GPIO pin generates an interrupt, change the interrupt type of the GPIO (high to low or low to high). This will immediately disable the GPIO from keeping the IRQ asserted.
2. Configure the interrupt mode to Change from Read . When the interrupt is asserted, inside the ISR, read from the PRTxDR register and this will immediately de-assert the IRQ line.
3. To address extreme corner cases where another GPIO asserts the IRQ line before the interrupt type of the present GPIO is changed, keep a copy of all the pin states in a RAM variable. Every time a GPIO interrupt is triggered, check the state of all the pins and compare this with the previous state stored in the RAM variable. This way, all the pins that changed state can be detected. Before exiting the ISR, update the RAM copy with the present state of the GPIO pins.
Apart from the above techniques, if you have free digital blocks or analog blocks left, you can also route the GPIO pin to a digital buffer and enable the interrupt of that digital block, or connect the GPIO to a comparator and enable the interrupt of the comparator bus. This will provide dedicated interrupt vectors to the GPIOs.

The intensive sampling within the gyre is continuing, and all seems to be going well. Our first blog post today comes from Matt Durham, the resident technician (ResTech) on the New Horizon. Doing science at sea requires not only talented scientists, but a dedicated and talented crew. Matt is part of the ship's crew, and it is his job coordinate activities between the scientists and the ship's crew, as well as oversee the deployment and retrieval of any oceanographic equipment that goes over the side of the ship.
Matt writes:
Nearly one thousand miles from land in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the scenery is surprisingly dynamic. There are no mountains, or forests, or canyons to look at (at least not above the surface of the water), but the simple and endlessly blue backdrop of the sea really accentuates the changes in weather and the movement of the sun and the clouds. Days end with the fiery sun sinking slowly into the sea only to reveal the full red moon in the east, casting an eerie glow as it rises through the clouds. The starry nights melt brilliantly into morning as the sun quickly returns. Wind blows and waves form, constantly reshaping the water around us. The deep blue contours of the rolling ocean add an inescapable rhythm to even the most familiar activities. This is the world that we have all entered and are now living in aboard the R/V New Horizon.
My name is Matt Durham, and I am the resident marine technician, or ResTech, aboard the ship for this cruise. I have worked for Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego for just about two years and really enjoy my job. I have seen thousands of miles of open ocean around the world; in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, and also deep into the ice pack of the Bering Sea. My job on the boat is to act as a sort of liaison between the ship's crew (the boat drivers and engineers) and the science party. I also oversee the science operations to ensure that we accomplish the goals of our current mission in a safe and efficient manner. I work closely with the chief scientist (on this cruise that is Scripps graduate student researcher Miriam Goldstein) and the ship's captain prior to ever leaving port to ensure that the ship is prepared to meet the scientific objectives of the cruise. Then we work together to load all of the necessary science gear and secure it to the ship to withstand the constant motion of the ocean. Momentum out here can be quite a dangerous thing, especially with heavy equipment that could normally just be set on the ground back on land. Out at sea, when the boat rocks, gravity takes over and anything that is not secured can move and cause injuries or damage to the equipment. It is easy in calm weather to forget to tie things down after they are used, and this can be a problem when the seas start to pick up. We also have to pay attention to the movement of the ship as we deploy our sampling equipment. We use "tag lines" tied to the equipment to help steady the load as it is lowered into or recovered from the sea.
This has been an interesting cruise for me. I spend a good amount of my time in, on, and around the ocean. Living most of my life on the coast of Southern California I have grown up surfing, diving, kayaking, and just generally enjoying the Pacific Ocean. Now working on research vessels, I see a lot of great work being done to explore and learn more about the oceanic environment. But this is the first time that I have been a part of a cruise that is looking to quantify the problem that has arisen from plastic pollution in the ocean. Yesterday, we started our first intensive sampling station in the gyre, and I am very interested to learn what the scientists on board are able to determine from the samples that are collected.

In the movement of everyday life I find complex beauty and decay. The water reflecting a chair through a plastic bottle, the paint peeling off with mildew on my building, I discover a color I have not yet seen. Mosaics of colors, sounds and forms enter my compositions distilled through my imagination and memories. I listen to the silence and the sounds surrounding me. I await these encounters when I stand on the threshold not exactly in and not exactly out. I wait for those moments where I can explore the in-between space of things that are at the same instance foreign and familiar. Tilting my head and moving the lens of my eye or camera I try to capture an expression of the world.
In my work I look to portray a visual language. The in-between space of a floating area. An area where something is in the air and on the water but at the same time does not rest on any one end. A surface that is barely felt but there. I am looking through photography video and painting on not modular canvas shapes to express this space of enigma I encounter with curiosity and question.

Last season the resort was approached by students from Utah School of Rock, the REEL School and BYU about a unique project. As a collaborative effort with SocialKiva these students brought singing to the mountain. Check it out and we hope you enjoy this unique rendition of the classic rock anthem "Don't Stop Believing."
Great video, editing, and the perfect song to make it all work! This is why my family has been driving from OC,California to Park City every Christmas for the past 18 years. Park City has it all, just like it's shown on the TV commercials her in So.Cal.

Yes, I know this is an old version of Carrara. I bought the first edition of Figures, Characters, Avatars for the purpose of legally buying a copy of this older software for its ability to create 3d text that I could then import and texture in studio 4 pro.
Like the old forums suggested, I submitted a help ticket with my receipt and a request for the serial number, but they deemed the ticket closed without putting the serial number in my account or contacting me in any way.
Does anyone here in the Carrara forums know why this happened or how I can go about legally obtaining a serial number? I know there is a trial version of Carrara 8, but that only lasts a short time and wouldn't suit my purposes. I've looked into other software that would do this, and Carrara seems to have the best options, but I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars to get the latest version just for 3d text when an older one will do. (And who knows, I may like it so much I would switch from studio down the road.

An invention that could trick fussy children into eating meat while revolutionising the pasta market was accidentally created by an AgResearch scientist in Hamilton.
The country's foremost pastoral research and development company has found a way to make meat spaghetti.
While testing the binding strength of meat, Mustafa Farouk unexpectedly found meat spaghetti - made from sheep or beef but transformed into colourful spaghetti-like strips.
"It tastes like meat and it can look like meat but we can actually change the composition of the product quite a lot so we can mask the meaty flavour," Mike North from AgResearch says.
And with busy families demanding more convenient yet healthy foods AgResearch believes it is on to something.
Kids love spaghetti but for many parents it's hard to get them to eat meat - so the meaty, protein saturated, pasta version could be an innovative way of providing youngsters with vital nutrients and iron.
"We'd really love to see this product on the supermarket shelves," says North.

Republican presidential candidate US Senator John McCain (R-AZ) (R) and former U.S. President George Bush answer questions from reporters at former President Bush's residence on Walker's Point in Kennebunkport, Maine in this July 21, 2008, file photo. REUTERS/Brian Snyder/Files
WASHINGTON: Former US president George H.W. Bush's condition is improving and he is in good spirits -- even singing, a spokesman said Friday.
"President Bush remains in the intensive care unit at Methodist Hospital, where he continues to improve," family spokesman Jim McGrath said in a statement issued from Houston.
"The president is alert and, as always, in good spirits -- and his exchanges with doctors and nurses now include singing," the spokesman said.
"The Bushes thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes and, like their doctors, are cautiously optimistic that the current course of treatment will be effective."
Earlier in the week, McGrath said Bush had taken a turn for the worse, with a "series of setbacks" sending the 88-year-old to the intensive care unit with a "stubborn fever."
But Friday's report was decidedly more upbeat, though McGrath did not speculate about a possible release date.
Bush was first admitted to Methodist Hospital in Houston on November 7 for bronchitis treatment and released on November 19. But he was readmitted four days later after his cough flared up again.
Doctors initially hoped to have the elder statesman home for Christmas, but he was instead forced to spend the holiday in the hospital, where he was joined by his wife Barbara, son Neil and grandson Pierce.
Bush, a Republican, served just a single term in the White House from 1989 to 1993, despite sending US troops to victory in Iraq in the first Gulf War, expelling Saddam Hussein's forces from Kuwait.
The decorated World War II veteran served in a number of top government posts, including as vice president to Ronald Reagan, director of the Central Intelligence Agency and US ambassador to the United Nations.
His son George W. Bush served two terms as president and also went to war with Iraq, this time sending US-led troops all the way to Baghdad to overthrow Saddam, whom he had wrongly accused of hoarding weapons of mass destruction.

UTSA Institute of Texan Cultures, S.A. Fire Department partner for Toy Day
(Nov. 22, 2011) -- On Saturday, Nov. 26, the UTSA Institute of Texan Cultures and San Antonio Fire Department will bring back a classic San Antonio tradition: Toy Day. With the donation of a new, unwrapped toy for the fire department toy drive, children ages 12 and younger will receive free admission to the museum.
The event reflects the 1930s tradition, when children were rewarded for their generosity with tickets to the movie theater. In keeping with the tradition, the Institute of Texan Cultures will offer entertainment with classic cartoons showing in the 26-screen Dome Theater, and a chance to see the new exhibit, "Timeless Texas Toys," which includes a "make-and-take" craft that children can construct on their own.
Children will have the opportunity to explore San Antonio Fire Department equipment including a ladder truck, a fire engine and an EMS unit. Sparky the Fire Dog and firefighters will be on hand to answer questions about their profession and to offer holiday safety tips.
Cowboy Santa will make an appearance and be available for photos at a small charge of $10. Also, guests can enjoy cookies, apples and milk generously donated by McDonald's restaurants.
All toys donated will benefit the San Antonio Fire Department Toy Drive.
Regular admission is $8 for adults (ages 12-64); $7 for seniors (ages 65+); $6 for children (ages 3-11); free with membership or UTSA identification. The Institute of Texan Cultures is on the UTSA HemisFair Park Campus, 801 E. Cesar E. Chavez Blvd., a short distance from the Alamo and the River Walk. Regular hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Saturday; noon-5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, call 210-458-2300 or visit TexanCultures.com.
The Institute of Texan Cultures serves as the forum for the understanding and appreciation of Texas and Texans through research, collections, exhibits and programs. The museum strives to become the nation's premier institution of contemporary cultural and ethnic studies focusing on Texans and the diverse cultural communities that make Texas what it is.
An agency of the UTSA Office of the Vice President for Community Services and a Smithsonian affiliate, the 182,000-square-foot complex, featuring 45,000 square feet of exhibit space and five recreation Texas Frontier period structures, is on the UTSA HemisFair Park Campus in downtown San Antonio.

Did Waugh intend, in his short story "The Balance," to draw portraits of two sides of his own nature in two separate characters?
Waugh, the accountant protagonist of the metanovelist Coover's strange fiction, might have gotten along with Gould.
Waugh had befriended the oldest boy, Lord Elmley at Oxford in 1922.

2012 Season Preview: Left Field
The left field position may be the most uncertain as far as production level goes for the Mets coming into spring training. We know for sure that the job belongs to Jason Bay, but what the Mets will get from him remains to be seen.
Bay will be in the third year of a four-year, $66 million contract with a vesting option for a fifth year which vests if he reaches a certain number of plate appearances. Since signing with the Mets, Bay has hit 18 home runs in 218 games. In his previous 218 games, Bay hit 50 homers. Bay's OPS was .896 before coming to the Mets. Since then, it's down to just .723, which is around league average. That's exactly what Bay has been: average.
Through all the negatives, there are some positives that appeared at the end of last season for Jason. In September, he had an on-base percentage of .392 and a slugging percentage of .563. He also had 10 extra base hits, more than any other month in 2011. He has had streaks like this before at the plate, so the real question for Bay this year will be if September was or wasn't a fluke.
One of the keys to Bay ressurecting his career just ma lie in how he stands at the plate. Check out this comparison from a Mets Today post about Bay's swing:
Also check out the post comparing Bay's stance here. If Bay is able to regain whatever it was he was doing at the left with the Pirates, he could regain his power and live up to the money he got in his contract.
The possibilities are almost endless when it comes to who will replace Jason Bay if he goes down. Lucas Duda or Andres Torres could each move to the left field position. A young outfielder like Matt Den Dekker or Kirk Nieuwenhuis would step into the lineup if that were to happen. Den Dekker and Nieuwenhuis have both showed promise in the minors, showing power and speed. Both have the potential to possibly end up stealing Torres' presumed center field job.
Overall Grade: D+
The only positives here are the faint glimpse of hope we got from Bay last year and the quality prospects that are behind Jason Bay. At the moment, it seems really unlikely that Bay will regain his pre-Met form and until he does that, he is just an average player. Maybe if he catches fire early, the Mets will be able to flip Bay while his value is high to get rid of his high salary.

Khartoum — Sudanese President Omer Al-Bashir has ordered Sunday to reopen the border with South Sudan, while it is decided to transfer security meetings between the two countries to Khartoum.
The decision to open the border was announced by Sudanese ambassador to South Sudan, Mutrif Sidiq, following a meeting at the presidential palace on Sunday with President Al-Bashir before to leave for Juba during the upcoming days. The meeting was as attended by foreign minister Ali Karti and other government officials.
Following the meeting, Mutrif told reporters that Al-Bashir asked him to inform President Salva Kiir that he is committed to implement the deals signed on 27 September and to keep working with him to settle the remaining unresolved issues.
He further said the president instructed him to work with the other concerned authorities to open all the land and river borders with South Sudan. The two countries have already agreed to resume areal flights between Juba and Khartoum.
The ambassador who was a member in the Sudanese negotiating team, added that the Sudanese president stressed that the priority should be given to the normalization of bilateral relations.
Sudan gradually closed the border with South Sudan since the start of a rebellion in South Kordofan and Blue Nile which are adjacent to the new independent state.
Following the attack on Heglig in April 2012, Bashir declared state of emergency in all the states on the border with South Sudan including that there is no clashes with rebel groups.
First Vice President Ali Osman Taha at the time demanded the parliament to amend the emergency law in order to allow the authorities to kill anyone who tries to smuggle food to South Sudan.
The trade embargo affected directly the five states bordering Sudan where different reports speak about severe food shortage there.
The two countries signed a series of security and cooperation agreements after four months of talks in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa brokered by an African Union mediation panel. But the two countries have to settle the border disputed zones and to agree on how to hold a referendum on Abyei region.
Khartoum announced that the security meetings which were supposed to start last Saturday in Juba are transferred to the Sudanese capital where the two delegation will meet to discuss issues related to the presence of rebel groups in both countries.
South Sudan Defense Minister John Kong Nyuon will arrive Wednesday to Khartoum to discuss the implementation of security arrangements with his Sudanese counterpart Abdel-Rahim Hussein.
A member of the Sudanese negotiating security team, general Eimad Addawi stated on Saturday in a TV show that Adel-Rahim invited John Kong to discuss these issues in Khartoum. While the South Sudanese ambassador Mayen Dut announced Kong's acceptance to transfer the meetings to Khartoum.

Know Which Cards Are At Risk, When They're At Risk
Too many financial institutions currently rely on VISA CAMS alerts to combat fraud due to merchant compromise. But it often takes weeks to determine which cards are at risk. TrueCards® is the only package that allows institutions to determine the true point of compromise and block the cards at risk almost immediately.
It's simple. When a portfolio is attacked prior to VISA's knowledge, hundreds of thousands of dollars could be lost before VISA provides a list of cards through the CAMS Alert. TrueCards® enables you to take control of your card portfolio by enabling you to determine a common point of compromise and determine precisely which cards are at risk almost immediately. You simply block the cards at risk and save untold thousands of dollars you could have lost waiting on a CAMS Alert.
TrueCards® in actionTrueCards® is the only package that allows financial institutions to independently identify and stop fraud proactively within their own plastic card portfolios.
In December of 2009, Allegacy FCU used TrueCards® to stop a regional skimming case before the common point of compromise was known to the industry.
The case started with regional financial institutions and Visa trying to locate a suspected common point of compromise and Visa was asking about any confirmed information on a common point of compromise in central North Carolina.
"The same day Allegacy had three customers calling in to report unauthorized withdraws from their account." stated Dean Adams, VP of Fraud Services . "The three cards were put into the TrueCards® system and the point of compromise was instantly revealed to Allegacy. Once the point of compromise was identified, a reverse lookup was done identifying 23 more potential victims. The 23 cards were blocked and reissued and the fraud stopped immediately saving Allegacy thousands of dollars."
Multiple financial institutions were getting hit with fraud and the TrueCards system quickly identified the particular gas pumps that had skimming devices on them" added Dean. In addition, "TrueCards identified the exact ATM in West Virginia the suspect used their counterfeit cards to withdraw cash from the victims accounts." Dean added that not only did it provide the point of compromise, it also gave an investigative lead that can be used in the apprehension and prosecution of the suspects.
With TrueCards®, Allegacy Federal Credit Union identified the industry-sought point of compromise before any 3rd party or CAMS alerts.
TrueCards® provides these advantages
- Enables a single institution to independently manage their card portfolio
- Identifies the common point of compromise within the portfolio
- Delivers a custom preemptive 'stop, block, and reissue' report
- Offers a real-time solution rather than a strategy that relies on late information
- Utilizes historic and current plastic card transactions regardless of processor
- Provides a holistic view of a multi-card vendor portfolio
