Masta Killa may be the silent assassin of the Wu-Tang Clan, but his sword cuts sharp when he does speak. The legendary Brooklyn emcee recently released his third solo album Selling My Soul and I had the opportunity to speak with 9th member of the Clan about a variety of subjects. Masta Killa & I spoke about the new LP, his inspiration for its production style, the status of his Loyalty Is Royalty album and why timing is of the utmost importance to his work. Jamel Arief also sheds light on a reggae project he's been working on and explains why he believes we'll finally see the Wu-Tang Clan come together once again for a new album in 2013. You can check out everything Masta Killa had to say below.
Justin: What's up Masta Killa?
Masta Killa: Just, what's going on brother?
Justin: I wanted to talk a little about your new album Selling My Soul. Originally the third album you were planning was Loyalty Is Royalty, so how did this one come about and end up being released instead?
Masta Killa: I was kind of testing the climate of where I thought the music was at this time. And it just seemed like to me, Selling My Soul was needed for the Hip Hop universe because right now, my opinion is you can't get any music like [Selling My Soul]. Everything else is like you can get that over there, you can get that over here. I just felt like Selling My Soul is needed right now for the people, just good music that you can put on without having to fast forward and be played at any occasion. I felt this was the right time for this particular project.
Justin: One of the things that stood out about the album was the vibrant, soulful production. It actually reminded me of Ghostface's The Pretty Toney Album and I know you shouted him out on this LP. So, was there any influence from that project for you here?
Masta Killa: Well, I've been influenced by beautiful music since I knew what music was. I have a song on there called "Dirty Soul" where I mention a few artists that I've been a fan of and that I've studied since, like I said, first started listening to music. So for me, to just want to make something beautiful and to make something nourishing is only me giving back everything that I've studied.
Me and my brother Ghost, we have that same ear for music. He loves a lot of old soul. We get on the road, we go in chambers, put on some old stuff and we be singing and bugging out. [Laughs] So our chambers are similar and that's probably why you hear that closeness of both our chambers.
Justin: You mentioned "Dirty Soul" and you pay homage to Ol' Dirty Bastard on it, mimicking his rhyme style. What was it like to do that tribute to him?
Masta Killa: Aw man, I had to give it to 'em cause to me he was one of the most soulful brothers within Wu-Tang. I mean, he was dirty soul! When I heard the production, immediately when I heard it I was like, "This is something my brother Dirty would've loved." It just sounded like him. So I was like, I'm gonna go write in one of his chambers and I'm also gonna pay tribute to – not all cause if I list all the groups that I loved, it probably would've been a ten minute song [Laughs] – but I'm gonna drop a few names of a few people that I love and respect and I have to mix in my brother Dirty. And as a matter of fact, I'm gonna say a rhyme of his just to pay homage and how I think he would have done it you know?
Justin: Absolutely. Now another standout track for me was the joint with Kurupt, "Cali Sun," and it does not have the typical production we've come to associate you with. Is it important to challenge yourself like that as you continue on in this game and take those types of chances?
Masta Killa: Well, this is the thing. For my fans, or for music fans period, we have to remember "why am I listening to this music?" You know, why am I watching this movie or anything of entertainment? We want to be entertained and we are looking for good product; we're looking for something that tastes good. My whole thing is it might not be something that you're expecting of me, but did I kill it? [Laughs] That's what I want the fans and the people to listen for. Did I give you something that you appreciated? Because if I did that, then I didn't deviate from where you expect me to be as an artist, I did what I felt was necessary for the time and I still gave you beautiful music. So that's what I want the listener to always remember. Listen for… did I deviate from the art of mastering this craft, did I kill it? Cause killing something only means to do it to perfection. That's what makes you say, "He killed it!" Did I bring you a beautiful piece of work? If I did that, then I'm satisfied.
Justin: Now as far as Loyalty Is Royalty goes, can we still expect to see that and is it still on the table? What's the status of that album?
Masta Killa: I got so much work brother, who knows? I might give you something else before Loyalty Is Royalty. I have to test the climate of the people and test the climate of the whole musical universe to see what's actually needed at this time. My Loyalty Is Royalty project has a lot of features on it and my brother Ghostface just released the project with The LOX, Wu-Block, which has a lot of features on it. You got Wu-Tang and The LOX, so that's a lot of features. And my brother RZA just did The Man With The Iron Fists and that soundtrack, it has a lot of features on it too. So with me to come with Loyalty Is Royalty with what's already out there, I didn't think you would be that hungry for that kind of meal. Now if I give you a different type of soup and it still tastes good, I felt it would be appropriate at this time.
Justin: So your mindset was with the Wu-Block project and Man With The Iron Fists soundtrack being released, it would be overkill to give us Loyalty Is Royalty now when you've got something different to offer.
Masta Killa: Exactly. I felt with me being a part of these other projects that I already knew covered a certain amount of ground as far as what the fans might've been looking for, from that chamber, I felt it was already being done by a member of my own family. So Ghost has that covered, RZA has that covered. So I had to come with something that's needed and something that's not being done so the fans can appreciate another chamber, another look. When I feel that Loyalty Is Royalty is needed, I'll come with it. Or you might want my reggae project! [Laughs] See, I don't know. I had a reggae project before too, but Nas happened to come with that album with the Marley brother, so I had to fall back on that. I was like, "Nah my brother Nas killed that" and I loved that project, so I didn't wanna give you that at that time.
Justin: Wow! [Laughs] Now I've gotta know about this reggae project. What's involved in that one?
Masta Killa: [Laughs] It's deep brother. I love to create. I love writing. I'm a fan of music first, so I have many songs. I can formulate and create and bring a world into existence. So I have a reggae project that I had in the wings for a minute as I'm always working. Since the "One Blood" from [Wu-Tang Clan's] The W album, I've always loved the reggae music and I've always worked with different reggae artists. So doing that reggae album was always in the making, but timing is everything. For the people to be receptive to it and really understand, I just thought it was too soon for that reggae album. I didn't feel I had enough Hip Hop albums under my belt solo wise yet. Group wise, you know I'm everywhere. I'm on everybody's album as far as my family, as far as the Wu-Tang and all of that. But solo wise, I wanted to bring a little bit more as far as Hip Hop is concerned before I actually did the reggae thing.
Justin: You've spoken about how important timing is and I'm wondering if that was a factor in why it took so long, relative to the other Wu-Tang members, to release your first solo album. Because when No Said Date dropped in '04, most fans were excited because it brought that vintage Wu-Tang sound back. So was timing important to you in that way?
Masta Killa: Very much so. All those other years, remember I'm still growing and I'm still learning a lot about the business. So I'm blessed to be in a family that I can still be featured, still keep my name hot and still build myself while I'm learning. I don't have to rush to do a solo album and it not be perfected to where I wanted it to be. I was able to take my time because of all the other projects I'm involved in and really put my best into what I was gonna give the world for the first time as far as a solo album.
Justin: Definitely. You recently spoke with SOHH and they asked you that always prevalent question about a new Wu-Tang Clan album. You sounded pretty optimistic about it and I know RZA's also talked about how he feels 2013 is the year to do it. So, what do you think it will take to make that become a reality?
Masta Killa: From my understanding and from building with the different individuals within Wu-Tang, I think everybody's pretty geared up to do it. I think if RZA's in the chamber and he comes with the music, I think everyone's just gonna fall in and make it happen because I think everyone within the group feels like it's time for another one. It's been a minute since we've all come back together as a group, as a family, and it did it all over again. This is the 20th year anniversary of 36 Chambers and it's ideal. I think everyone is pretty much on the same page and looking forward to doing it. I know I'm looking forward to doing it.
Justin: I know we're all looking forward to it. I felt like "Six Directions Of Boxing" from The Man With The Iron Fists soundtrack was sort of a teaser for that. What was it like to get back and create an official Wu-Tang Clan track again?
Masta Killa: Aw man, that's always special to me. I love getting back in the chamber. It's like that's where it all came from. So to go back to the chamber and to see the family, it's like – rest Michael Jackson's soul – but I would've loved to see the Jackson 5 come together again and do another album. You know what I mean? I imagine for them to see all the pieces in position and knowing what they do, that's a joy and a beautiful in itself. So being a part of that whole entity is something that I look forward to.
Justin: As far as a new Wu-Tang album, would you want it to be the classic way of RZA producing the entire album on his own or would you want some collaboration and other guys involved?
Masta Killa: When it comes to that part of it, I'm gonna always trust RZA's judgment. I've always considered RZA to be team captain. He is The Abbot of the Wu-Tang Clan and I'm gonna trust his judgment on that as far as whatever he would decide to do production wise. I mean there's plenty of brilliant producers out there, countless. Dre, Kanye, my man 9th Wonder… there's so many producers out there and I have no problem working with different ones on that, but that's not really my department when it comes to the Wu-Tang Clan. But I will be there with my sword sharp and to do what I do. [Laughs]
Justin: Speaking of RZA, what was it like for you to see him realize his dream and get to be the director and writer of this major motion picture that gets released?
Masta Killa: I was proud of him, very proud of him. This is something I've seen my brother wanting to do since we watched kung fu movies. [For RZA] to be a fan of something and then one day become an artist of it, controlling the screens of it, I'm very happy for him. It's a thought that definitely took years to build and to see him walk it all the way through and be successful, I love it.
Justin: We discussed your recent contributions to the Wu-Block album and RZA's soundtrack. I know GZA, Ghostface, Rae and [Insepctah] Deck among others are working on their own projects right now, can we expect to see you appear on some of those albums as well?
Masta Killa: Man, you know my track record. If you know my history, you know I don't try to miss anything that's going on with my family. I'm everywhere when it comes to that. If it's going down, I'm there. I love supporting my brothers and what they do because they've always been very supportive of me. So whoever… if it's going down, I'm there! [Laughs]
Justin: One last thing I wanted to ask you about. Wu-Tang fans might remember on your second album you had your son rhyming on the opening track. Is he still pursuing that lane as an emcee and following in his father's footsteps?
Masta Killa: He's definitely looking to pursue the music world, but you know when you're growing up and you're a teenager, you get a little distracted. [Laughs] But he's still pretty focused on what he wants to do as far as music is concerned and we're working on something for him as well. There's so much creativity that's being brewed. It can't happen all in one day, but we're definitely still working. You might have an album from my son, young Shamel Arief in the near future.
Justin: That's great. Any final thoughts for our readers?
Masta Killa: Selling My Soul is out right now and I want them to get that. I think it's a perfect album for the season. I think you can put it on in front of the fire place and just be cozy with it. I don't think you can get what it offers anywhere else. It's a beautiful piece of music that I definitely think you'll enjoy.
Justin: Alright man, thanks for taking the time to speak with us. It's been a real honor, I appreciate it.
Masta Killa: I appreciate your time brother and a have good new year. Take care.


text: on Apr 10, 2013 @ 12:15 PMApr 10, 2013 @ 12:15 PM Published Football: Broke African champions slash win bonuses African champions Nigeria will slash win bonuses as well as their coaches' salaries because the national Football Federation (NFF) is broke, officials said. The NFF technical committee has recommended the Super Eagles' win bonus of $10,000 be reviewed downwards along with the salaries and allowances of the various national team coaches. Officials have suggested that the win bonus will now be pegged at $5,000. The backroom staff will also be pruned to a more manageable level. The Eagles have five coaches, including three assistant coaches, and a total of 17 backroom staff. "The (technical) committee regretted the financial situation that has also necessitated the pegging of bonuses, review of allowances and salaries of coaches of the national teams," read an official statement from the NFF. "Based on the parlous financial situation that the Nigeria Football Federation currently finds itself, the committee has also recommended the staff auditing of the technical crew and backroom staff of all the national teams." Nigerian sports minister Bolaji Abdullahi has disclosed that the NFF spent at least half of their annual budget on the recent Nations Cup in South Africa and would therefore need to step up their marketing drive so as to stay afloat for the remainder of the year. The poor financial position of the Nigeria FA has already forced the country to pull out of next year's championship of African Nations (CHAN) in South Africa. Nigeria were due in June to play the Ivory Coast in a qualifier for the tournament reserved for players featuring in their respective domestic leagues. They have twice failed to qualify for the tournament proper. Top NFF official Emeka Inyama said the association had to take this decision because they are broke. "The home-based Eagles won't play in the CHAN as we have withdrawn from the qualifiers due to lack of funds," Inyama announced. "We have a lot of financial commitments and we have to look at the competitions in order of importance." sam/ps

Why are guys so insecure?
one of my friends said that she reconnected with a guy after a couple years. They liked each other and they even kissed but that's it. They have been... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I think he just wants to know why she is doing all this for him so he can get a feel on how she feels about him because she must really like him to offer to bring him soup and meds... that's what ide do anyway ask her why so I could know how she feels see if maybe there's anther chance for us.
i think there can be another way of asking that question than just blirting it out, it makes it seem awkward. If this happened to me, I would take it as he is questioning my character and my feelings for him.
Thats why he dident directly say it and kind of hinted.
What Guys Said 4
are you sure he's being insecure? it's kinda hard to know without hearing his tone, he could be just teasing your friend.. if he does ask this seriously it also doesn't necessarily mean he's insecure, guys are much more direct and to-the-point. He's also probably not so good with words or is just not used to talking to girls so whatever he said he put it bluntly.
it was all through a text so maybe he just grabbed the balls to just come out and ask.
What Girls Said 2
Is it possible she threw him for a loop unintentionally years ago and he spent a lot of time getting past it...and he feels toyed with? Is it possible he feels it's a bit early to be treating things so seriously?
If it were me, I'd explain myself and leave him be. He'll come around.
In response to the question about guys being insecure, the ones in particular that are, have suffered at the hands of being hurt badly and are truly confused about what to expect in a relationship. They spend a long time learning to put their guard up and not worry about caring, they're very protective of who they let in, and it'd serve a girl right not to toy with that guard unless she intends to uphold the place she wants to capture.
To many girls, just like too many guys, are too fickle with their interests. They make promises they can't keep, and then toss them when they no longer fulfill her void. Because of that, smart men know to give a waiting period before accepting niceness as truth.
And then some of us, like myself, just treat niceness as friendliness so we don't have to think about things without direct clarification otherwise.
I don't complicate it so I don't confuse mySELF and spend my days in what ifs or making more out of things I don't know to exist and don't care to entertain if I don't think they do.
There are many reasons it could be. Some people just prefer things with clarity.

This is our first front loader. I researched the purchase extensively before I bought it and I am glad I purchased it. The washer is quiet, efficient, and seems well constructed. The value is exceptional. I looked at many washers that were nearly twice the price. I specifically gave preference to an American made product. This washer was much less than the imports and as good, or better. The high speed spin can be a little noisy and shaky, but you can select a lower speed. The advantage to the high speed is that clothes come out nearly dry. This saves lots of energy and expense when it comes to drying them. I have had 2 previous GE washers that we sold with previous houses. They have been absolutely reliable, which is why I stuck with GE. You will not regret buying this washer.
Product worked very well for approx 9 months. Noted after 9 months spin cycle ran slower and clothes were not as dry.
After 18 months, problems with electrical system. Repairs estimated to cost $480 (new circuit board needed). Upon removal of the product, delivery personnel indicated "black dust" on the floor sign of bearings wearing out.
In my opinion, GE = poor quality1
Worked great for the first 6 to 9 months. Now it stops on the rinse cycle. Clothes are sopping wet after the wash. After 2 service calls from GE, we are out 300 dollars and the washer still doesn't work. Shopping for a new washer now.
I have owned this washer for 4 years and it is full of mold on the front seal. It smells horrible inside and all my clothes smell like mold after I wash them. It is absolutely the worst purchase I have ever made. I emailed GE about it. Hopefully they respond to me.
It's nice to have the product at home at my convenience. Isn't of going to the laundry mat.

MLS Regular Season
New Yorker LaBrocca expecting a difficult encounter in familiar surroundings
Nick LaBrocca labels New York Red Bulls a 'dangerous side' ahead of the meeting at Red Bull Arena on Wednesday night, as the Colorado Rapids look to maintain their solid road form.
The Rapids have picked up five of their seven points away from Dick's Sporting Goods, with goalless draws at Philadelphia Union and Houston Dynamo, before a blistering 4-0 win at FC Dallas.
'As long as it gets in that goal, it doesn't matter what it takes'
Rapids Defender, Drew Moor (#3)
On the frustration of playing well and not getting wins…
Match Report: Colorado Rapids 1, FC Dallas 1
Colorado Rapids battled back to tie 1-1 with FC Dallas at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Friday night.
The visitors went ahead after 31 minutes when Mauro Diaz converted a cross from Fabian Castillo.
After Blas Pérez was dismissed on the hour, Rapids fought back and were rewarded when Nick LaBrocca bravely fired home 11 minutes from the end.
Matchday welcome: new game, old foe but we want the same outcome
Welcome Rapids Fans,
Just six days on from our previous home game, and we face a side in FC Dallas that we met in Texas only two weeks ago.
Western Union International Matchup to Watch: Torres & Castillo
Two premier forwards are set to go head-to-head in this week's Western Union International Matchup to Watch.
Fabian Castillo is a native of Colombia entering his fifth year with FC Dallas. Castillo is coming off a 2014 campaign where he finished the season with ten goals. Last week against Toronto FC, Castillo struck early and often by finding the back of the net twice in the game's first ten minutes, thus earning him MLS Player of the Week honors.
Sarvas suspended two games by the MLS Disciplinary Committee
The following information was released today by Major League Soccer:
MLS Disciplinary Committee Decisions: Week 7
Colorado Rapids midfielder Marcelo Sarvas has been suspended for two games and fined an undisclosed amount for violent conduct that endangered the safety of an opponent in the 40th minute.
Rapids Podcast: expecting a Friday night backlash from FC Dallas
Dominique Badji netted the first goal of 2015 for the Colorado Rapids, when they crushed FC Dallas 4-0 earlier this month. It was the first goal in what was the team's first win in 19 games.
#COLvDAL Match Preview
Two weeks ago, Colorado Rapids went to Dallas in need of a season-changing win, run-ending win.
On Friday, the Texans come to Dick's Sporting Park (8pm MT) and the scenario is exactly the same.
Forward Charles Eloundou returns to Colorado
Colorado Rapids forward Charles Eloundou has rejoined the club after beginning the season on loan with Rapids' USL affiliate Charlotte Independence of the United Soccer League (USL).
The 20-year-old has played 228 minutes in his three starts for Charlotte so far this season. In 2014, he appeared in 11 matches for the Rapids, recording one assist during the match against Chivas USA on October 11.
After a game of 'firsts' in Dallas, can Rapids gain their second win?
Dick's Sporting Goods Park, Commerce City, CO.

Mock Draft was held on 1/27. Snake, 12 teams, mixed league, 5x5 Roto
I am not a big fan of a mixed league with only 12 teams. Nevertheless, being this my first mock draft of the season, it has helped me ease into 2015.
It is our objective to use each mock draft as an experiment and then report the results in this column. A word about experiments: in order to be valid, an experiment ought to test the real waters and not be bizarre. For example, if you have the first overall pick, you should always pick Trout. Anything else would be crazy. As far as a 12-team mixed league, delaying to draft a pitcher is a valid strategy this season. Rumors are that pitching is abundant. We set out to verify this theory with this mock draft. An alternative strategy would be to pick Clayton Kershaw immediately and then wait several rounds before getting the next pitcher.
I had the 10th pick and since Kershaw was gone by my turn, I decided to get hitters the first six rounds.
In the seventh round, I picked the next best pitcher according to the Mastersball projections, which was Sonny Gray. I followed that in the eighth round with Hisashi Iwakuma. The draft results are HERE
Take a look at the spreadsheet. The mere fact that 17 of the 24 spots of the last two rounds went to pitching tells me that indeed a mixed league with only 12 teams has plenty of reasonably good hurlers.
That being said, how good is my team's pitching staff (my team was #10)? Looking at the draft results makes me wonder if it would have been better to pick a pitcher in the fourth round instead of getting Hunter Pence. After all, several valid outfielders were left on the table. In my opinion, the way Lawr drafted was the most appropriate for this league: two hitters followed by one pitcher, repeat (see team #12). Another personal observation: I do not think that getting Kershaw in the first round worked well (see team #7). What do you think? Your thoughts and comments are welcome.
In the 2015 edition of BaseballHQ's Baseball Forecaster & Encyclopedia of Fanalytics, Lord Zola wrote that "the more mock drafts you do, the better you are at assembling your fantasy baseball squad" and that "by failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."
I am not going to add to this well expressed sentiment.
Disclosure: Last year, we experienced problems filling the draft rooms because we limited the participation to Mastersball readers.
This season, we have teamed with Fantasy Alarm (www.fantasyalarm.com) to expand the field of participants. Howard Bender of Fantasy Alarm is the mock draft organizer. His list already has over 100 names. If you are interested in participating, send an e-mail to Howard at
Howard runs multiple mock drafts per week and fills the draft room half with writers/broadcasters/experts and the other half with super-eager readers like you. Once you are on his distribution list, you will receive an e-mail at the start of the week informing you of the mock drafts scheduled for that week. If you're interested in taking part that week, please reply to him and let him know which draft works best for you. Mock drafts will be held whenever possible, likely two or three times a week. They are not locked into any specific times but will try to accommodate different time zones and schedules.
If you join a mock draft, please, do not abandon it halfway and do not put your team on auto-pick. Also, if you signed up at the beginning of the week and your real life rudely interferes with your fantasy one, please, inform Howard immediately to remove your name from the draft room. Send me an e-mail at
Mastersball staff will join several drafts. To test the waters, our plan is to use different strategies, e.g.:
and so on. After each mock draft, we will publish in this column the results with comments, observations and recommendations.
Do not procrastinate. The time to get ready for the 2015 season is now.
There are always arguments – especially on internet message boards – when the Baseball Hall of Fame votes are released. People on opposite sides of "How did he get in?" and at the same time "Why didn't he get in?" (There are multiple names even in the same year although the two most prominent this year were Craig Biggio and Curt Schilling.)
But, there was an interesting byproduct of all the interviews the four newest members of the Hall of Fame did last week. When Pedro Martinez was asked who the toughest hitter he ever faced was, he replied that it was Edgar Martinez of the Mariners.
In a later interview, Randy Johnson said that if he had a HOF ballot (not a bad idea for those elected to the Hall to vote on potential new members of the fraternity), the first person he would vote for was former Mariner teammate Edgar Martinez. "The first person that comes to my mind was a teammate of mine for 9½ years and the greatest hitter I ever played with," Johnson said Wednesday. "I've faced a lot of Hall of Fame hitters, and my gosh, Edgar is the best hitter that I ever saw."
What we hear from a lot of the BBWAA writers who actually discuss who they did or did not vote for and why, is that Edgar Martinez does not get a lot of votes because he was a designated hitter. Well, let's get something drilled into those writers' brains – Edgar did not establish the DH in the American League. He came up as a third baseman and had a couple of .300+ batting seasons there before he was moved to the new DH position that the owners and MLBPA voted in. It's not Edgar's fault that the Mariners complied with the new rule by finding a better position for his bat while at the same time improving their defense.
Edgar Martinez had a Hall of Fame career with his batting numbers, unless the writers believe that they should not even think about voting for David Ortiz someday.
Saturday's AFL LCG would pit the team that gave up the fewest home runs this year, (the Salt River Rafters surrendered only eight round trippers in 32 games), against the team that hit the fewest home runs (the Peoria Javelinas knocked only 11 balls over the fence).
Yet ironically, after the top half of the sixth inning, the Javelinas had hit five home runs, including three solo shots in the fourth inning: back-to-back shots by Hunter Dozier and Justin O'Conner, and another three batters later by Kes Carter. O'Conner then knocked his second homer--a two-run shot in the fifth inning-- and the fifth home run was a screaming line drive over the left field bullpen by Bubba Starling.
Still, after Ryan Casteel hit a two-run shot for Salt River in the bottom of the sixth inning, the game was tied at 7-7. Casteel's shot was the second and final Rafter home run of the day. The first was a solo blast over the right field bullpen in the first inning by left fielder Eddie Rosario, who was the Salt River hitting star of the day, going 4-for-5 including a double and the home run, scoring two runs while driving in two.
The close hitting contest was put to rest in the bottom of the seventh inning when Salt River scored seven runs on four walks and four hits to take the final 14-7 score.
Prior to the game, there were two special AFL awards presented.
The first was the Dernell Stenson Award presented each year to a player who exemplifies teamwork and leadership and the 2014 winner was Patrick Kivlehan, who said "You want to be known for something that's more than being a baseball player. It's how you treat people on and off the field. I definitely think that from playing football and being a special-teams guy, you learn that you have to do whatever you can do to help the team win and do your part."
Kivlehan didn't just distinguish himself as a team player this fall -- he was also one of the best players in the AFL, leading the circuit in RBI (22) and finishing third in runs scored (18). Perhaps more importantly, the former outfielder rounded out his play at first base -- which could be his permanent position.
Receiving the Joe Black Award, the AFL's most valuable tribute, was Gregory Bird, who hit a 450-foot home run to center field in the Fall Stars Game two weeks ago and was tied for the league lead in home runs (6) and led the league in runs scored (21). Bird was also second in hits (31), RBI (21) and total bases (55), third in extra-base hits (12) and slugging (.556) and sixth in batting (.313). He opened the season with a 16-game hitting streak and was also named MVP of the Fall Stars Game.
The Peoria Javelinas and Surprise Saguaros were virtually tied going into the last game of the Arizona Fall League season on Thursday with Surprise in front by just one game at 16-14 with a .533 winning percentage.
But Peoria's 5-2 win put them at 15-14 and Surprise at 16-15 with Peoria's winning percentage at .517 just one thin point ahead of Surprise, who finished at .516 – enough to claim the West Division championship and earn a spot in the league championship game against the East Division Salt River Rafters (17-11, .607).
It is a long way from where Peoria was early in the season, 3-10 and in danger of setting AFL record lows in batting average and runs scored. They finished the season on a 12-4 run to win the West.
"Obviously, we got off to a poor start. We didn't drive the ball out of the park," said Peoria manager Vance Wilson (KC). "To see them come together -- pitching, defense and the fundamentals -- in all the things that we teach in pro ball that wins championships, I couldn't be more proud of 36 guys."
Down 1-0 after four innings, the Javelinas got the first two runners on via singles and then had three RBI singles from Jacob Wilson (STL), Kes Carter (TB) and Breyvic Valera (STL) that all scored the runner from second base and left runners at first and second. The 3-1 lead would have held, Surprise scoring their second run in the bottom of the eighth, but Tampa Bay catcher Justin O'Conner hit a two-run homer to right field in the top of the ninth to widen the lead and allow Atlanta relief pitcher Brandon Cunniff to have a more comfortable save.
Javelinas starting pitcher – another young Brave, Aaron Northcraft went the first five innings, allowing just one run on three hits with no walks while striking out four.
The league championship game will be played at 3:08 ET Saturday afternoon at Scottsdale Stadium and will be shown live on the MLB Network and streamed on MLB.com.

Psychiatry Newsletter - Doing Our (Unilateral) Bit for Psychiatry
Doing Our (Unilateral) Bit for Psychiatry
J. Raymond DePaulo
Date: November 2, 2009
This entire issue of BrainWise is a simple act of consciousness-raising.
As new molecular and brain-imaging tools edge us close to breakthroughs in severe mental disorders, that and a clear need for a new generation of therapies have sharpened our scientists' drive.
The quality of our research is at a high point, as we show in this issue.
But we can only advance so far on our own. The public should expect us, no, demand of us, that we also collaborate with pharmaceutical companies. In the best of all worlds, drug companies want to develop specific, effective, low-cost treatments with few side effects.
And so do we.
These past two years, however, questionable and conflicted relationships have undermined professional partnerships with Pharma. Apparent conflicts of interest by clinician-scientists and institutions—not Hopkins—have aroused both congressional leaders and the public.
These conflicts undermine academic researchers, most of whom work hard and play by the rules. Why is this happening now? I think a change in economic rewards and incentives has reshaped behavior.
Thirty years ago when I was junior faculty, some companies would hire only sales reps who were registered pharmacists or had advanced science degrees.
Since then, it's become clear to Pharma that a dollar spent on R&D can't match the return of a dollar spent on marketing. Industry doesn't depend on us to advance their research now so much as to act as "opinion leaders" to advance sales.
To my mind, this has whittled away most of the good that we can accomplish together.
Correcting this is far from simple and likely calls for a radical review of FDA policy and perhaps patent laws. My pipedream is that drugs which are not truly novel should get a short patent life, while truly novel medications would get much longer patent protection—it's a tactic to encourage new drugs based on new mechanisms.
R&D carries high risk, no doubt about it, so we must provide incentives for Pharma and medical researchers to ride this wave of scientific breakthroughs together. Our patients need better treatments!

Originally written on Fox Sports Midwest | Last updated 12/3/12
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Cardinals chairman and principal owner Bill DeWitt Jr. walked through the lobby of the Gaylord Opryland Resort Monday morning, admittedly much more relaxed than this time a year ago. "It's certainly less busy," DeWitt told FOXSportsMidwest.com. It was at last year's Winter Meetings in Dallas, Tex., when the Cardinals made a last-ditch effort to try and re-sign iconic first baseman Albert Pujols. He eventually declined their best offer and signed with the Anaheim Angels. The Cardinals spent nearly all their time in Dallas focused on Pujols because they couldn't do much of anything else until they knew whether or not he would be in the fold and for how much. "It was hard," DeWitt admits. "It was emotionally draining. Given the significance of Albert as a player and a historic Cardinals figure, to be at a point where we were either going to sign him or not and have him go elsewhere, it was hard. "That was a stressful time for all of us, trying to cope with the Al...

Had a Super time !! Would go again ! Thanks
Reviewed by: Kevin S, March 2014
The folks at the boat launch were very nice. The boat ride was pleasant enough. The manatees were plentiful, but most were gathered in a restricted area behind ropes. The Park Rangers were a bit overzealous for no reason. It's understood that you can't cross the ropes and nobody did. But what is the harm in actually touching the ropes? Give me a break!. The narrow inlet to the Three Sisters Springs became a bit of a bottleneck as it was very narrow and some "divers" had a hard time walking through the current. We were also disappointed that we were charged an extra $10 each for a wetsuit when the website clearly said that it was included in the $49 fee. Actually, I'm not sure that the wetsuit was even necessary. Bummer that law forbids touching these strange, gentle animals, but understandable, I guess.

41 year old man | Altamonte Springs, FL, USA | Seeking women 37-50 within 100 miles
Ookinglay orfay ongtermlay elationshipray
Queens New York native (but not stereotypical), no particular ethnicity/group with no (race) preference in regards to the woman I'm looking for. I've been here 5 yrs with my 13 yr old son who I have sole custody of. No co-parent in the picture to share any aspect of my responsibility but I'm able to date someone with consistency being he's older now, more responsible and seems to prefer doing his own thing now that he's found people he thinks are cooler than me... he'll be back though ;) I have a solid career, love my job and do what I can to meet the goals that I've set. I'm as happy at home cuddling in front of a movie as I am being out and about. Funny/silly when I can be, serious when I need to be, accountable, no entitlement issues and have never had a need to see anyone as being beneath or less than me in order to validate my position in this world. Pretty easy to talk with, good listener, will crack on you, laugh with you if you crack on me and I'm always down for a good conversation. No regrets, plenty of lessons in humility (I'm sure there will be more) and moving in what I believe to be a good direction. I'd say I'm open minded, down to earth, grounded... and real but life (and this site) has taught me that we all have our own definitions of what those words mean. I'm thinking it would be nice to meet a woman who is unlike me in some ways, likes and has experienced different things, sees the world from a perspective that's her own that she's willing to share with me. I think you can learn a great deal about a person in how they communicate a bad day, deal with pressure, the things they say about the people they call friend and thier explanation as to why past relationships didnt work. Objectively and humbly speaking, I like everyone here has plenty to offer someone. At the same time I realize no one is obligated to see what I have to offer as important or valuable. At the end of the day the things we value least and most in people has a huge influence on the partner we choose now.... just as it has in the past. Like it or not we always find who and what we're looking for... Always.

"I just received my new orthaheel slippers and i have only had them on for about 4 hrs and they are heaven. I have spinal stenosis and it feels so good to be erect and not lean to one side.
i cannot wear thongs as they hurt my feet. I wish you would make more slide sandals.
