He has already had his shadow in the scene and has thrown support for individuals already. Hopefully, he will find his niche in our form of Republican Party and what that means for a person with honor and integrity.

Too much of a neocon. His fathers Bush style politics are obsolete. He needs to
be more like Rand Paul or he doesn't have a prayer of winning.
RINO politics won't do anything for America.

He should do it! He would win in Utah on name recognition alone. I think it would be good for our long term development.

Josh would do well to run to city council, school board, or mayor before trying to go big. He would have more credibility to be a leader if he had some actual government experience.

Name recognition could get you elected, but that shouldn't be the whole story, should it? Nor does having a well-known name guarantee "honor and integrity". After all, Nixon was pretty well known by the time he was elected.

In the land of legacies, Josh's aspirations certainly make sense. In a world where science and truth matter (read "climate change") why have a light weight like Swallow, Shurtleff and now, Romney?

Some of the super wealthy with more money than god pamper themselves with luxury mansions, autos , etc.,but most sooner or later will want to buy a position in politics where they can hover over and control others and to build monuments to themselves. Thankfully, there are some that do good with their great riches; so far this doesn't seem to be the case with the Romney's money. Theirs is mostly a self interest enterprise.

SXSW 2013: Capone says the home invasion scare film YOU'RE NEXT is fresh and terrifying!!!
Published at: March 11, 2013, 6:27 p.m. CST by
Hey everyone.
in Austin here for more coverage from the SXSW Film Festival.
About a half hour into the long-delayed but highly anticipated latest work from director Adam Winguard and writer Simon Barrett (the pair worked on the solid 2010 feature A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE, as well as shorts for THE ABCs OF DEATH, V/H/S and V/H/S/2), I was admittedly baffled why so many people who had seen the film at Toronto Film Festival 2011 or Fantastic Fest 2011were singing its praises so vocally. By the time the film is released at the end of this August, it will have been nearly two years since its premiere. But what I had watched for the first 30 minutes appeared to be a standard-issue home invasion scare film, complete with creepy death cult animal masks on the killers, and a bunch of well-crafted scary moments.
But as YOU'RE NEXT progresses, you start to notice what makes it special. These mask-wearing murderers are not on hand to tie up the occupants of this house; they are there to dispatch them as quickly as possible. You realize quickly that there will be no torture of this large family, who grown members have reunited for the parents' (Rob Moran and Barbara Crampton) anniversary. Instead, they will be systematically executed for reasons which we are unaware. But before we even get to that, a gathering must happen.
After an opening murder of a couple having a sexified time at a neighboring house to the family, the children of the couple begin arrives, including son Crispin (AJ Bowen) and girlfriend Erin (the lovely Australian-born Sharni Vinson); Drake (filmmaker Joe Swanberg) and wife Talia (Kate Lyn Sheil); sister Aimee (Amy Seimetz, who also stars in UPSTREAM COLOR) and boyfriend Tariq (horror director Ti West); and youngest brother Felix (Nicholas Tucci) and gothy girlfriend Zee (Wendy Glenn).
There is some playful poking fun between Drake and Cripin right off the bad, but it's the film's big dinner scene when the gloves come off, and Darke especially lays into Tariq's claim at being a filmmaker and Crispin for being a loser. And just when punches are about to be thrown, a crossbow arrow comes through the window and kills a character. Then about 30 more arrows smash through windows and into furniture, walls, and flesh, with no one knowing exactly why. We see it's these freaks with masks, and some have axes, guns, knives, you name it; they are fully loaded killing machines.
Without getting too much into the plot or who dies or is injured when, it does turn out that Cripin's girlfriend, Erin, has a little more than meets the eye in terms of her ability to deal with this situation, making her the film's one capable action star. The has a great deal of mood-appropriate dark humor, including the recurring sight of Swanberg's Drake with an arrow sticking out of his back for a great deal of the move. But the film's primary objective is to make you jump with well-earned scares, build tension effectively, and provide you with a few inventive kills. On that front, YOU'RE NEXT absolutely delivers, with the added bonus of adding a certain humanity to these characters who would rather fight in the middle of a crisis about some seriously dumb shit than avoid actual danger.
In addition to Vinson's capable portrayal of Erin as a woman of action and self defense, Swanberg and Bowen are especially strong as brothers who have clearly never met eye to eye on anything throughout their lives. What's so smart and enjoyable about YOU'RE NEXT is the spin it puts on the home invasion sub-genre. It's takes something we've seen recently in film like THE STRANGERS, THEM, KIDNAPPED, INSIDE, and FUNNY GAMES (although that film is more a parody of other such films), to name a few. But Barrett and Wingard's take on the material is pretty great and certainly original.
Wingard wisely makes certain we understand the geography of the rather large house (we're told the patriarch works for a weapons contractor and is quite rich), and it doesn't take long with this vacation home in the woods feels terrifyingly claustrophobic in the face of so much relentless danger. The filmmakers thankfully don't spare us on the quite realistic gore. Every single death in the film is awful and violent, without going ridiculously over the top with the blood guts. But it all looks very real, and they make every death mean something to the survivors. It's rare that you get this much actual mourning in a scare film. But when all of the victims are loved ones and relatives, the emotional price is high.
YOU'RE NEXT is a tightly wound, often nasty piece of work with a surprising amount of character development, so that we actually give a shit whether and when someone expires. Without compromising on the horror elements, the movie does justice to the home invasion story while keeping it fresh, unpredictable and terrifying. The film is set for release August 23.

It was a sunny Sunday for Channel 95.7's 12th annual World's Largest Dog Wash to benefit Gilda's Club of Grand Rapids, brought to you by Bissell.
The fun-filled, family-friendly, Fido-focused, four-hour festival at Fifth Third Ballpark in Comstock Park barked up with hundreds of participants -- both two- and four-legged varieties -- as part of the West Michigan Whitecaps' Dog Days Game.
Baseball is a sport that has been built on traditions for more than 150 years. Tonight, tradition will meet the future when the West Michigan Whitecaps host the first-ever game played by using equipment printed by 3D, or additive manufacturing, technology.
The Goo Goo Dolls, Daughtry and the Plain White T's will be making their way to West Michigan Wednesday, August 27 to play at Fifth Third Ballpark!
Tickets go on sale Thursday, May 22 at 10 a.m., but we here at Channel 957 got our hands on a special pre-sale code just for you!
When you think of Fifth Third Ballpark, and the ball field, you think of baseball. But, this summer the field will also be the location of a three-day concert series. i
The Goo Goo Dolls will perform with Daughtry and the Plain White T's at the ballpark on Wednesday, August 27.
As the start of the 2014 baseball season fast approaches, the rebuilding process at Fifth Third Ballpark after the January 3 fire is well underway and on schedule to meet completion dates. In addition to rebuilding the first base concourse and suite level, the Whitecaps are also making several improvements to the ballpark.
Fifth Third Ballpark suffered a major fire on Friday, with more than $500,000 in damage apparently caused by a space heater.
Since the fire, the Whitecaps have made one thing clear: they will be back and ready to play this spring.
The West Michigan Whitecaps' ownership expects to rebuild Fifth Third Ballpark in the wake of a Friday blaze that damaged the Comstock Park facility.
A space heater started a small blaze Friday morning at the ballpark, but workers believed they had put it out. They returned to find the space in flames, Plainfield Township Fire Chief David Peterson said.
Fifth Third Ballpark is the home of the Midwest League Class A professional baseball team. It is slated to host the 50th Midwest League All-Star Game on June 17, 2014.
Team officials expect the Whitecaps to play the 2014 season, host the all-star game and rebuild the ballpark.

Daniela LaFace draws from her own personal experiences when encouraging students in her fitness classes.
By Kinjal-Dagli Shah
On most nights, Daniela LaFace can be found in her garage-turned-studio, yelling and kicking high into the air. She's Stouffville's boot camp girl, a fitness instructor and a mother of two.
Daniela wasn't always into fitness. In fact, until a decade ago, the 31 year old was overweight and unhealthy. "My doctor told me that I needed to clean up my eating and start exercising or I would have a very difficult life filled with disease," said Daniela.
That day changed everything. She started eating healthy foods, turned Vegan and gluten-free, and lost 20 pounds. "I started looking into what it takes to be a personal trainer and decided to take the course. But at that point, it was only for me."
Daniela soon found out that losing weight is hard but keeping it off is even harder. "I started to fall off the wagon and took a bit of a hiatus while I got pregnant." When her daughter was born at 25 weeks, mother and daughter spent four stressful months in different hospitals. "I gained 40 pounds with her and didn't even think about losing it until we were home."
Daniela started exercising again and lost the weight within a year. "During that time I decided that there are probably other moms who want to lose their baby weight and I started a blog as well as posted on Facebook that I was going to start a stroller fit class."
Seven mothers would meet thrice a week, and in Daniela's words, "have a blast." Slowly, it grew to a group of 30 women and Daniela started night classes. However, there was another surprise waiting for her. "My second daughter came early as well at 26 weeks and I took another break for four months in the hospital. But when I came back, my boot camp girls were waiting for me and we kicked some butt."
Daniela started teaching at a local fitness studio then decided to turn her garage into a studio for personal training. The transition wasn't easy. She faced the daunting task of starting a business from home in a competitive industry along with raising her daughters, Liliana and Samantha. "The harder you work, and the more time and effort you put into your business, the more it will grow. It is nerve-wracking but exciting to know that it's all you. If you love what you do, you'll never 'work'."
Daniela manages to juggle looking after her children with taking care of her business. "I can just slip into the studio, train and come right back to my family. I have clients during my daughter's nap time so I can set up the monitor and train while she sleeps."
Daniela's interest in her clients goes far beyond fitness sessions. "I really try to understand why they are coming for training and sometimes our workout sessions turn into therapy sessions." She believes that people can try all the workouts or the newest diets fads but if something is lacking in their lives, it likely won't work. "During our workouts I really try to use it as fuel to push them harder and after every session they leave happy, sweaty and ready to take on the challenge of life."
Kinjal Dagli-Shah is a journalist and a Stouffville resident. Write to her at email@example.com

One word...FABULOUS!!!!
The dates in these cookies bring them over-the-top good. Don't let the amount of ingredients scare you away, as these are so worth the effort of adding every single one. Thanks for a wonderful find!!!
Omigosh! These are sooo good!! I can't get grape nuts over here in South Africa so I used granola. I also left out the fruit. My family doesn't really go for dried fruit. I can't believe that these are healthy! I used ground almonds because of my 1 yr. old. I just buttered my baking sheets and they came out fine. I think we liked them best a little overdone and crunchy.
My family loves this cookie. The grape nuts cereal give them a great texture. Will be making them often! Thanks!
5 BRIGHT stars for this one! These will be perfect for the night crossings when we're sailing! They are so good, and healthy too! Thanks Roxy . . . these are wonderful!
Excellent cookies. Keeper recipe. My family loves this recipe. Thank you so much.
I saw this recipe in the morning and made TWO batches of it within the next three hours! I hoped that once done, they'd be perfect for my daughter at Uni, but once I tasted them, I knew that they'd also be incredible gifts for local friends (and us), too! Very satisfying to eat; one will fill you up in no time. And I've been in love with dates since early childhood, so that was a real bonus. Thank you, CoffeeB, for recommending this lovely cookie!

Good 3.4 /5 from 367 reviews
Outrageous pricing for parking. Pretty average place not really 3 star. Good sauna.
This hotel is in dire need of an update, but the location and the views from each room's balcony heavily out weigh this fact. I would definitely stay here again.
Perfect location to stay in Chamonix. Good restaurant on the 6th floor with many breakfast options. The hotel and the rooms need refurbishment, though.
Hotel is in a great location in a very pretty city, unfortunately, it is in dire need of updating,, Rooms were small, not well maintained and very noisy. Restaurant food quality was poor, marginal WIFI access in rooms. Staff did not seem to care. I would not recommend this hotel.
Hotel was big disappointment. "Superior room" was tiny, no amenities except a refrigerator, not even a clock. Maintenance was poor, even the remote batteries were dead. Some staff very helpful but not very informed, some just didn't want to be bothered by customers. Lacked consistency, obviously poorly managed which is a real shame since the location is perfect and the place has real potential. Much more of a two star than a three star.

With universities, polytechs and training providers soon to open their gates to a new roll of students, several organisations are taking their message of higher education to one of Hamilton's most hard-up communities.
The New Zealand Management Academy, along with the Enderley Park Community Centre and Hamilton City Council, are organising a careers expo at the centre on Friday.
The event, which includes more than 30 exhibitors, aimed to directly engage with the community and overcome prohibitive transport costs, which could sometimes prove an obstacle to education and work for people in the area, said event co-organiser Marama Tahapeh.
"As I've been going into the communities, one of the things that dawned on me is, as providers, we tend to send out our prospectus, but we never really go to the heart of the community," she said.
The event, which has been planned over the last six months, would be the first of its kind at a community centre in Hamilton.
"Enderley was chosen after talking with the community, who expressed a desire for something to inspire their young people.
"Waikato region has the highest NEET Rate [not engaged in education, employment, training or caregiving] in New Zealand. We have a huge number of youth doing nothing. They are exhausting our health sector and our economy, and the idea [of the expo] is taking it there and saying, 'You can'."
Enderley Park Community Centre manager Margaret O'Brien, who has managed the centre for the last three years, said the prospect of such events could sometimes be daunting for potential applicants.
So having an event in a more relaxed, social environment would be beneficial to youth in the area, she said.
"It's about bringing it to the community and equipping them to take those steps out of the community."
Pauline Pura Gray, who will be at the expo to provide information on behalf of the University of Waikato Management School, said it was important for the university to have a presence at the event.
"We know that Enderley may not be one of the areas we get many students, but I think we have to start putting back in some positive role models."
Meanwhile, Wintec, which will also have a stall at the expo in Enderley, is holding a series of open house events for prospective students starting tomorrow, and extending over the next two weeks.

Amazing, such a beautiful building, but it is a shame that we cannot find uses for more of these schools before the scrappers do.
Edward M. Bok invented the word "living room"
You have to wonder if the structural beauty and historical importance of the schools in total were used in deciding which to close . The built enviorment that a child spends his or her school time surrounded by is sometimes just important as the quality of learning . Especially when you consider some of the areas these
kids live in . What will happen if a kid goes from this diamond in the ruff to a bland box that feels more like
a cell than a place of learning. If its life as a place of learning is TRULLY over then let's hope some smart
developer snatches it up to be born again as condos .

Oil Spills: Some Tips That Can Be Useful in Dealing With It
When using the right type of spill equipment, you are actually preventing a costly accident and environmental damage from happening.
If you are working on a company that involves the use of chemicals and oils, surely, you are bound have spills happening. Because of this,one must always be vigilant on keeping an eye to possible oil or chemical spillage so that when something like this happen, you are quick to act which will ultimately result from any environmental damage occurring. If such scenario is being left attended, the leaks coming from chemicals could as well damage the stocks and may pose danger to employees such as potential slip or fall hazards. One solution for that is to create a physical barrier around the liquid spills so that the overall affected areas will be limited and the amount of time spent of cleaning up the spills, restoration, restocking and worker's injuries as reduced.
These days, there are so many products that are being sold in the marker and one of them is used in facilitating a quick and effective confinement for the oil and chemical being spilled. As for the absorbent socks and booms, it is not only effective in absorbing the liquid but also, it use to surround the dangerous oils and chemicals to prevent it from leaking. If you want to have an oil spill kit and chemical leak kit ready when necessary, you have to know that it includes socks and booms which are effective in cleaning up, absorbing and confining any oil and chemical spillage on your facility. There are also products which are being sold in the market such as the non-absorbent dikes and barriers which is ideal and effective in confining any potential oil and chemical spills. These products are being used in conjunction of the oil chemical absorbents which provides a much greater solution for an effective oil and chemical confinement as well as cleaning up of spills. We have gathered and listed some of the products that will surely help you in confining the oil and chemical spills that happen on your facility so that pricey accidents and environmental damage will be prevented.
The purpose behind why an oil and chemical absorbent socks and booms exist is for them to be used in surrounding and confining any form of oil and chemical spills even before they get any chance to spread on any environmental element which may cause more damage. If you want to create an effective barrier to minimize the spill on an are, it is better for you to use more than one of those chemical or oil absorbent sock or booms.

Understanding the PCI DSS prioritized approach to compliance
You can take a phased approach to achieving PCI DSS compliance, but expert Mike Chapple says you aren't compliant until you meet all its requirements.

by meeting the compliance obligations in stages. Is there such a thing, and is it a practical way to achieve PCI compliance?
Ask the Expert!
Have questions about regulatory compliance? Send them via email today! (All questions are anonymous.)
The short answer to your question is no. There is no way to achieve PCI DSS compliance other than to achieve 100% compliance with the portions of the standard that are relevant to your organization. When it comes to PCI DSS compliance, there are no "shades of gray." You are either compliant or noncompliant.
My guess is the PCI DSS official you read about was referring to the Prioritized Approach to PCI DSS Compliance. This guide is meant to provide organizations with a risk-based approach to becoming compliant by having them address the most important items first, thereby reducing the likelihood of a breach. This approach has six milestones:
- Remove sensitive authentication data and limit data retention.
- Protect the perimeter, internal and wireless networks.
- Secure payment card applications.
- Monitor and control access to your systems.
- Protect stored cardholder data.
- Finalize remaining compliance efforts, and ensure all controls are in place.
The "catch" is milestone six, which basically says, "Do everything else you need to do to become compliant." To be clear, while this approach allows you to meet specific requirements in stages, it does not mean you are compliant during the process. Your organization is subject to fines and other noncompliance sanctions until you are fully compliant. The PCI DSS Prioritized Approach document sums this up well with a disclaimer reading, in part, "To achieve PCI DSS compliance, an organization must meet all PCI DSS requirements, regardless of the order in which they are satisfied or whether the organization seeking compliance follows the PCI DSS Prioritized Approach."

Will Middlebrooks appears to have diagnosed the problem. But does that mean that a solution is within reach?
The 25-year-old is coming off of a 2013 campaign in which he hit .227 with a .271 OBP and .425 slugging mark. He showed the ability to hammer the ball -- evident in his 17 homers in just over a half season's worth of games (94) -- and there were glimmers of the middle-of-the-order potential that seemed so apparent in 2012, particularly during an impressive run upon his return from Triple-A in August and early September.
But the sophomore also demonstrated a lack of selectivity that opposing pitchers exploited. He walked just 20 times (5.4 percent of plate appearances) with 98 whiffs (26.2 percent), with a swing-early-and-often offensive approach that lent itself to rough stretches.
He's been working this spring to make the needed alterations to level out his performance.
"Just recognizing what I do well and what I don't do well -- and not swinging at what I don't do well," Middlebrooks told reporters of what he's working to accomplish this spring. "I was over-aggressive. I don't know if I was trying to hit home runs but I was just trying to hit the ball hard. There wasn't much thought process that went into my approach, I don't think I was consistent with my approach so it was more or less going up there and trying to hit the ball hard, seeing it hitting it, and you can't do that at this level, you have to have a plan because the pitcher's going to have a plan."
Middlebrooks is hitting .320 with a .346 OBP, .600 slugging mark, a pair of homers, one walk and just two strikeouts in his 26 plate appearances thus far. Despite the relative absence of walks, the low number of strikeouts suggests progress in pitch recognition and control of the strike zone.
"The one thing that sticks out to me is I've swung at one pitch outside of the zone this spring. It was a slider I check swung on and I ended up hitting a change-up into the gap for a double later that at-bat," Middlebrooks told reporters. "I'm not getting tricked up there. I 'm seeing it, I'm seeing every pitch, I'm not guessing and just letting my eyes and hands work together."
Middlebrooks suggests that such an approach will lend itself to more free passes even if he doesn't make walks a defining goal.
"I think more walks will come but I'd rather hit more doubles and homers," Middlebrooks told reporters. "They're more fun."
It's difficult to argue with the contention that extra-base hits are more enjoyable than taking four pitches out of the strike zone. But what about Middlebrooks' contention that the "walks will come"? Is there basis for such a belief?
Evaluators often suggest that power develops later in a player's career, and that with a sound approach at the plate, players -- even some who show little pop early in their career -- will eventually learn to drive pitches. Kevin Youkilis represents an extreme example of the proposition.
But is the converse possible? Do players who show big power and little patience at the start of their careers tend to improve their plate discipline and on-base skills?
Middlebrooks is one of 21 players in baseball history who had 10 or more homers in his age 24 season while posting a sub-.300 OBP (minimum: 300 plate appearances). One of those players was Tony Clark, who hit .250/.299/.503 with 27 homers in 100 games for the Tigers in 1996, then enjoyed a breakout 1997 campaign in which he hit .276/.376/.500 with 32 homers in 159 contests -- enjoying a massive 77 point jump in OBP that made him a lineup force. It was Clark's plate discipline rather than his power that improved.
"I had power from the time I was six -- through Little League, through junior high," said Clark. "I was always able to hit the ball further than anyone else. That part was always there. But trying to figure out how my swing worked, how I needed to approach the plate or being a student of the game, that I wasn't. It took me a while to get there."
It's worth noting that there was uniqueness to Clark's progression. He was a giant 6-foot-7 switch-hitter whose playing time in the minor leagues was limited by the fact that he played Division 1 basketball at San Diego State and the University of Arizona, so comparing Clark to Middlebrooks is hardly an apples-to-apples undertaking. Moreover, Clark represented the most extreme example of a player in the 10 homer/sub-.300 OBP club to make a plate discipline breakthrough; no one else from that group had an OBP in his age 25 season that exceeded .333.
Still, Clark offers an indication that a considerable one-year jump in on-base skills is at least possible, if not necessarily likely. Of course, using the sub-.300 OBP club is somewhat limiting given that there's some luck and randomness with batting averages (and hence OBPs) on a year-to-year basis. The frequency with which a player walks, on the other hand, represents a true outcome, a more accurate barometer of a player's patience.
Middlebrooks walked in 5.4 percent of his plate appearances, 33 percent below the American League average walk rate of a free pass in 8.1 percent of plate appearances. He is one of 116 players in baseball history to hit at least 10 homers in an age 24 season in which he walked in 6 percent or fewer plate appearances.
The group includes a bunch of spectacular players -- including future Hall of Famers and MVPs -- who were extremely aggressive. The list of players with walk rates of 6.0 percent or worse and double-digit homer totals at age 24 includes seven Hall of Famers: Orlando Cepeda, Yogi Berra, Ducky Medwick, Willie Stargell, Andre Dawson, Bill Mazeroski and Robin Yount. A number of recent stars also fell into this category, with players like Nomar Garciaparra, Magglio Ordonez, Aramis Ramirez, Pudge Rodriguez, Robinson Cano and Carl Crawford. That list offers a reminder that players can be standouts even if they aren't patient.
But how do such players typically progress from their age 24 to age 25 seasons? Of that group of 116 players, five were in their age 24 season last year, so it's impossible to see how those players progressed at 25.
But of the other 111 players, as a group, it's hard to see much offensive progress between the age 24 and age 25 seasons. At age 24, the group combined to hit .280 with a .317 OBP and .448 slugging mark while walking in 5.0 percent of plate appearances. At age 25, the players produced a line of .280/.324/.444 with a walk rate of 6.0 percent.
Of course, players aren't merely averages. Players' paths are distinct and can vary widely, and so it's worth noting that players can make major jumps in OBP between their age 24 and 25 seasons. The largest jump was made by Austin McHenry, who went from a .316 OBP at age 24 to a .393 mark at age 25. He is one of 11 players (9.9 percent) in the ensemble of impatient power hitters to see his OBP go up by 50 points or more; another 13 players (11.7 percent) had their OBP go up by 30-49 points, while another 21 (18.9 percent) had an OBP increase of 10-29 points.
So, history suggests that players like Middlebrooks can enjoy meaningful improvements in OBP, with roughly one in five players in this category seeing an improvement of at least 30 points. But, of course, to be a valuable member of the Sox lineup, he'll need to do just that while looking to build on his .271 mark of a year ago.
And, of course, there's no guarantee of improvement. Indeed, 57 of the 111 players (a slight majority) saw their on-base percentages go down between their age 24 and 25 seasons. And if Middlebrooks falls into that category, then it's difficult to imagine him lasting a full season as the Sox third baseman -- one year after he lost his job as the team's everyday player at the hot corner twice (first to Jose Iglesias in June, then to Xander Bogaerts in the postseason).
But right now, in spring training, it's not the downside that's most apparent. Spring offers the possibility of change and improvement, particularly for a player as young and talented as Middlebrooks. And so, the Sox view him not as a statistic, but as a living, breathing player who is showing the capacity to understand his limitations and improve.
"I think last year we saw some at-bats where maybe he was pressing a little bit, maybe trying to make up for some previous at-bats where it would cause him to be a little overaggressive or expand the strike zone," Sox manager John Farrell told reporters. "That willingness to swing, pitchers didn't have to challenge him all that much. He would chase some breaking balls off the plate, which we've seen this year, particularly recent at-bats where he's not offering on a borderline breaking ball, which I think is a really encouraging sign. I think that just speaks to his comfort and relaxation in the box right now.
"I think he's having a very good camp," Farrell added. "It's been very encouraging on the swings that he's taken. He looks confident in the box. He's driving the ball. … I think he's in a pretty darn good place right now overall."
The impact on the Red Sox if Middlebrooks can remain there would be considerable.
