WNYM (970 kHz) is an AM radio station licensed to Hackensack, New Jersey, USA and serving the New York metropolitan area. WNYM is owned by Salem Media Group and broadcasts a conservative-leaning, talk radio format. The station's studios are shared with co-owned WMCA (570 AM) in Lower Manhattan. WNYM's transmitters are located in Hackensack.
Early years[edit]
The station signed on in 1926 as Newark-licensed WAAT and was founded by Frank V. Bremer, owner of Bremer Broadcasting Company. WAAT originally broadcast on 1270 AM, and changed frequencies several times (moving to 1070 in 1928, 940 in 1930) before settling on 970 kHz in 1941, as per the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement. In 1947 Bremer launched an FM adjunct, WAAT-FM (94.7, now WNSH), and the following year a sister television station, WATV began broadcasts on channel 13. In 1951 the stations were sold to Irving Rosenhaus; WAAT evolved to a middle of the road music format by the 1950s, similar to what WNEW, WOR, and WCBS were doing at that time. WAAT later attempted a country music format, the first in the New York area.[1]
In 1957 the WAAT/WATV operation was sold by Bremer to National Telefilm Associates, who changed the station's call letters to WNTA.[2][3] National Telefilm split up its holdings in 1961, with WNTA-TV (now WNET) being sold to a New York City-based nonprofit educational group, and the WNTA radio stations going to Communications Industries Broadcasting.[4] The new owners changed the calls to WJRZ[5] and retained the MOR format until September 15, 1965, when WJRZ became the first radio station in the New York metro area to play a country music format 24 hours a day. Not long after, the station moved its transmitter site and changed its city of license from Newark to Hackensack. WJRZ was the flagship radio outlet for the New York Mets from 1967 until 1971.
The station had a serious fire that destroyed their studios in a house on Hackensack Avenue in North Hackensack, New Jersey on October 17, 1970; the station operated out of a prefab building near their transmitter site for a period of time afterward.
Top 40 years[edit]
The station was put up for sale in the fall of 1970. Around that time, future sister station WMCA dropped top 40 for a talk format, leaving WABC as the only Top 40 radio station.
WJRZ was sold to Pacific and Southern Broadcasting (which merged with Combined Communications Corporation in 1974) on January 6, 1971.;[6] the call letters were changed on May 16 of that year to WWDJ (known on the air as "97-DJ"), and the station attempted to take on WABC and replace WMCA as the New York market's second Top 40 outlet. For a brief time, program director Mark Driscoll began imaging the station as "9-J", giving rise to a recorded parody of the station called "Nine" produced by a group that included future disk jockeys Howard Hoffman and Randy West.[7]
The station was hampered by a directional signal that covered Manhattan and parts of New Jersey well but suffered in the rest of the Five Boroughs and was virtually nonexistent on Long Island and western New Jersey. Eventually, FM competition from WCBS-FM and adult top 40 station WXLO (now WEPN-FM), and an evolution to adult Top 40 by WNBC (now WFAN), began to eat into WWDJ's ratings. In November 1973 it was ranked 15th in the Arbitron ratings.
Becoming a religious station[edit]
By 1974, the station was losing money and unable to sell enough advertising, and the studios had been moved to the transmitter site. In the fall of 1973, the station began selling airtime to religious groups on weekends, which brought much-needed revenue for the station as it continued with Top 40 during weekdays into 1974. But as a result of the religious hours making money, WWDJ abruptly dropped the top 40 format on April 1, 1974, and switched to a religious format full time. Because the change took place on April Fool's Day, many listeners thought the switch was some sort of joke. Initially, WWDJ sold two-thirds of its daily airtime to outside ministries and played traditional Christian music the rest of the time, with the exception of a few hours on Saturdays devoted to a then-new genre, contemporary Christian music. WWDJ was sold to Communicom Corporation of America in April 1978,[8] about a year before Combined Communications' merger into the Gannett Company in 1979.
CCM years[edit]
By the late 1976 the music during the week was a mix of traditional and soft contemporary. By 1979, the music was adult contemporary Christian and evolved to contemporary Christian by 1982. The station still only played music part-time on weekdays and Saturdays. They continued with the contemporary Christian music/teaching/preaching format throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s, with Frank Reed (formerly of WNBC) handling mornings.
In 1994 WWDJ was sold to Salem Communications,[9] which since 1989 has owned WMCA, initially retaining its studios on Main Street in Hackensack. As WMCA ran Christian talk and teaching, it was thought that WWDJ would move to music full-time with specialty Christian music programming on weekends. While this did not happen, WWDJ by the end of 1994 was playing music.
Later religious years[edit]
In the fall of 1995, the station abruptly changed formats. The station's teaching programming expanded, with music cut back to morning and afternoon drive time hours on weekdays and Saturdays afternoons. Most of the announcers were laid off and the station revamped the format to a rhythmic Christian music format. This employed contemporary worship music, gospel music, and light contemporary Christian songs. They positioned themselves as "The Sound of Praise and Celebration". George Flores was the only air-staffer retained and his afternoon show was pre recorded.
This format continued until 2004, when the music was dropped and WWDJ moved to a Christian brokered format. Around this time, Pillar of Fire Church-owned WAWZ (99.1 FM) in Zarephath dropped all but a few religious programs to play contemporary Christian music 18 hours a day, and Salem picked up many bumped shows; this caused Salem to decide to air programming full-time on WWDJ. For about two years, the station billed itself WMCA II all the time, with the WWDJ call letters used only in the hourly station identification. The station's on-air identity reverted to 970 DJ by 2007, but programming continued to be overflow programs from WMCA, as well as some syndicated mostly-secular personalities such as Laura Schlessinger and Kevin McCullough. They also broadcast infomercials and church services, as well as 30- and 60-minute religious shows.
Becoming a talk station[edit]
On July 25, 2008, WWDJ swapped callsigns with a sister station in the Boston area and became WTTT. After stunting for several days with all-Frank Sinatra ("Frank 97 AM") and all-Pat Boone ("The Booner 970") formats, the WTTT call letters were replaced with WNYM on August 6, 2008, and the format changed to conservative talk, along with a Fox News affiliation.[10] The station airs most of the general-market slate of the Salem Radio Network, including Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved, Eric Metaxas, Hugh Hewitt and Larry Elder. Former Saturday Night Live cast member Joe Piscopo has hosted the station's morning program since January 2014.[11] John R. Gambling hosted a midday show on the station from April 2014 until September 2016.
WNYM is the New York City-area affiliate of Syracuse University football and men's basketball.[12] In 2013 WNYM began broadcasting Seton Hall University men's basketball, and in 2014 became co-flagship of St. John's University men's basketball with WMCA. WNYM also airs NFL and MLB games that would normally air on WEPN-FM due to programming conflicts.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - If Emily Bastel has the same determination and drive she showed on the golf course over her amateur and professional career, the Upper Sandusky native's next venture has the potential to have exceptional results.
Bastel was named the University of Florida's women's golf coach a week ago, taking over for Jan Dowling, who resigned in May, citing personal reasons.
The 31-year-old was an assistant last season for the Gators, helping Florida to a 12th place finish in the NCAA Championships.
"It's very exciting and since I've spent the last year or so here, I got a taste for what the University of Florida is like," Bastel said. "I'm just honored and excited to get going."
When the position came open, it was natural for Bastel to apply for the position. Prior to coming to Florida, she was an assistant on Duke University's women's golf team, helping the Blue Devils to third in the ACC and eighth in the NCAA Championship in 2010.
"It's convenient to be already to be here. It was something I wanted to go after when the position became available," Bastel said. "Once I spent that year at Duke, I knew this was something I wanted to do. I had a lot of fulfillment to help players to achieve their dreams in the game of golf."
But Duke wasn't her first foray into coaching. After playing for four years at Michigan State, where she was a four-time member of the All-Big Ten team, she served as an assistant coach for head coach Stacy Slobodnik-Stoll. For the 1999 Big Ten Freshman of the Year and 2002 All-American and Big Ten Golf Athlete of the Year, it was quite a change of pace.
"I did a little recruiting at MSU. I had just graduated and it was the first time I had traveled on my own. I had always traveled with the team," Bastel said. "I was flying to Miami and I remember thinking 'Are they really letting me do this by myself?'"
It was her first taste of recruiting, something she did a lot more of at Duke and last year at Florida. In addition to recruiting, Bastel was responsible for tracking academic progress of the players, as well as the team's administrative duties and player development on the course. But the new coach knows she'll have even more to do as the head coach. Like her preparation on the golf course, Bastel did her homework on being a head coach.
"I've sought some advice from my old coach at Michigan State, Stacy Slobodnik," Bastel said. "She helped me through the process of getting an interview and getting hired. The men's coach (Buddy Alexander) I've leaned on him so far and it's only a few days in."
Being a first time head coach, Bastel knows she's bound to make some miscues. But she knows she has the athletic director, Jeremy Foley, in her corner.
"When I got hired, my AD told me not to be afraid to make mistakes," she said. "When you're not afraid to make mistakes that's when people achieve great things."
Foley said he feels like he made the right choice for the program.
"Emily is an impressive individual. I am confident she has what it takes to continue elevating this program," Foley said in the school's press release. "Her experiences as an assistant coach, a professional and collegiate player have given her the necessary tools for success. She has a plan for this program and I share her view for this program's potential."
Foley said he was left in awe after interviewing her for the job.
"The more she spoke, my eyes opened wide: her maturity, her quiet confidence, her plan," Foley said. "I talked to her old coach at Michigan State and the way she made herself the player of the year through her work ethic. I'm a big believer if you work hard here at the University of Florida, good things can happen. Tremendous personality, great smile and I could see her being successful recruiting. The more I spoke to her, the more excited I got because when you go through these searches, you never know where you're going to end. And all of a sudden, here's this woman right under your nose so to speak and I'm just glad she applied. I'm glad we gave her the opportunity to interview. She knocked it out of the park with me."
Bastel carried a quiet competitive fire inside her on the course during her amateur playing days. It aided her in representing the United States on the 2002 Curtis Cup team and the 2002 World Amateur Team Championship. She was a semifinalist at the 2001 U.S. Women's Amateur and was a three-time Ohio State Women's Amateur Champion (1999, 2001, 2003).
She later found success on the Duramed Futures Tour (2004, 2007 and 2009). She was the Futures Tour Player of the Year in 2007. She played on the LPGA Tour for three seasons as well in 2005, 2006 and 2008, making $178,289 in career earnings, with two top 10 finishes. She played in the three U..S. Women's Open Championships (2002, 2004 and 2005).
She knows that her six years on tour will lend to her credibility with the young women she'll be recruiting and coaching now. Bastel said to be a top-flight program, she'll be recruiting the players who want to one day play professionally, so she can relate her own experiences to those women.
The 1998 Upper Sandusky grad, who was a three-time all-state selection during her days as a Ram, said she misses playing professionally but coaching allows her to use her competitiveness in a new format.
"It's not that I like more than another," Bastel said. "The common denominator is being involved in the game and having an outlet for my competitive spirit."
Foley is hoping that drive and determination leads to big results for the Gators.
"I told Emily I don't expect national titles, and I don't put pressure on our coaches to do that, but I asked her to work really, really hard," he said. "I think Emily can build on the foundation that Jan left here. Certainly, I want our women's golf program to be relevant. I want it to be a team that's in the hunt every year, whether you win those titles or not, but I want to be in the conversation. I will tell you that about any program that we have here. I think that's certainly possible under Emily's leadership and that's why we made the call we did."

Genea Biocells to provide stem cells to US
In a boon for Australian stem cell company Genea Biocells, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry has approved 52 of its human embryonic stem cell lines (hESC) for use in the US.
Genea's hESC lines will support medical research into new treatments for serious genetic or acquired diseases, including orphan diseases.
Amongst the 52 stem cell lines listed with the NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry are 43 disease-specific hESC lines representing 24 different genetic diseases.
These genetic diseases include neurodegenerative conditions such as Huntington's disease, tuberous sclerosis and infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy, and neuromuscular disorders such as Charcot-Marie‐Tooth disease, Becker muscular dystrophy and myotonic dystrophy.
Also included are cell lines expressing genes coding for genetic cancers, metabolic conditions, vascular diseases and eye conditions.
The nine unaffected cell lines approved are from varied genetic backgrounds.
Genea Biocells General Manager Uli Schmidt said the approval by the NIH of the cell lines, which were derived in full compliance with international ethical and regulatory standards, is an acknowledgment of the company's expertise and leadership in this field.
The hESCs are derived from embryos voluntarily donated by patients who have undergone in-vitro fertilisation - often in conjunction with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) - at Genea's fertility clinics. A fully informed and voluntary consent process is also conducted with patients.
Genea Biocells, a subsidiary of Australian fertility group Genea, has the world's largest private bank of pluripotent hESCs with more than 100 individual lines representing almost 30 different genetic diseases.
NIH applications for remaining Genea Biocells cell lines are in preparation.

As of late, Nike iD has been rewarding the Air Force 1 faithful out there with a special new option each month. First it was wool, then premium boot leather and this past month just saw some interesting ballistic mesh and rubber options. Each has been limited to 750 pairs and have all gone pretty fast, but now for the February offering comes something sure to disappear even quicker. Until now, if you wanted elephant print on an Air Force 1, you could check out eBay for one of a handful of previous general releases that dabbled with the beloved pattern, or if you really wanted to go all out, you could always put it on a Bespoke. Now at long last, elephant print will be available on the Nike Air Force 1 iD. While excessive use has slightly diluted the power of the almighty elephant touch over the years, we're sure that there will be plenty of folks eager to slap some on their AF1's with the quickness. Look for these to hit Nike iD around the beginning of the month and stay tuned for sample pics coming soon.

LinuxTag 2011 Opens
At this week's Berlin LinuxTag 2011, event cooridinator Nils Magnus discusses the increasing professionalism of the open source community.
Not only has Linux arrived on the desktop, Nils Magnus points to the Linux on devices such as televisions and other consumer devices. Linux is now taken for granted, Magnus says, and the community has matured by providing fixed release cycles, marketing campaigns and media relations.
Messe Berlin's Jens Heithecker says that 179 presentations, 27 workshops, more than 80 free projects and 40 commercial exhibitors at the 17th LinuxTag make it the most comprehensive conference program in Europe.
The 10th annual LinuxTag hacking contest will be held on Friday, and Saturday is an education-focused Academy Day.

Watch that first bump and don't forget to wear your seatbelts.
You start this mission off with a base, which includes two Elephants. Build the following to get yourself up and running:
Recommended Build Order
2x Reactor
Supply Pad
Vehicle Depot
Turrets around the whole base
Field Armory
Air Pad
Build turrets early on so your base isn't overun with Flood.
You now have every structure you'll need. Dig in and focus on upgrading your turrets, supply pads, and reactors until they are all fully upgraded. Then upgrade your marines at the barracks. Once they are fully upgraded, recycle the barracks (you can build marines from the Elephants), and turn the spot into another Supply Pad. At this point you can pick the forces you want to move out to reinforce the Spartans with, but we found it easiest to just build as many Hornets as possible.
Muster your forces and take out the Flood base.
Once you have ten or so of them, fly past all the Covenant and reinforce the Spartans. Once you're with the Spartans, don't bother to attack the optional colonies, just hit the Proto-GraveMind itself. Use the Spirit of Fire's Carpet Bombs and healing to help out in the fight, and use your main base to reinforce the Hornets as they die. The Proto-GraveMind should die pretty easy against this onslaught.
Rhino Hugger- This is unlocked after keeping all rhinos alive until the end of the level. You will want to go on Easy and with Emperor and Sugar Cookies on.When you start the level, you should send your SPARTANs to the garrisonable towers, and have one either near the base or by the first Rhino position. Use this one to jack Banshees or the rare Vampires to help in the later escorts. build up a group of about say 4-7 marines and call in the Rhino. have them escort the rhino to its positon and guard ituntil Anders takes control. once they call down ODSTs, send all but one of your marines back to base to protect it. Start production on Scorpions, as only 1 or 2 of them are needed to stop most enemies during escorts. once the 2nd rhino is ready, make a cobra or 2 and lock them in the upcoming positions, it doesn't hurt to throw a Wolverine in their either, as they can rid the skies of banshees (which, by the way, cobras can't hit). The next rhino should be ready, so send in a combo Marine/Scorpion team to get it to the next positions. Your psychic Cobras will immediatly fire on the bases and Locusts that pop up to end your acievement, and your Rhinos will be safe. When the far position- only accessible via pelican comes, have a free SPARTAN grab a Scorpion and have a few Scorpions drop off and clear out enmies, choose 1 to stay behind and send rest back while send the Rhino in. NOTE: always be ready to heal controlled rhinos- They WILL get shot. Also, my strategy may be a little over your population limit, so try and get rid of unwanted weak marines and cobras when you can.GO TO LEVEL 10 - SHIELD WORLD

It might not be "bold" to say the Baltimore Ravens will be division champions by the end of the 2011 regular season. However, it might be a little premature, given the fact NFL players and owners are still in the midst of a nasty labor dispute that still has no end in sight.
With that said, the predictions to come will be made carefully, using players currently on rosters and players expected to be retained by certain teams once the lockout ends.
Is this the year Baltimore runs away with the division after the stellar draft it had? Will the Cleveland Browns challenge the Ravens for the division instead of the Pittsburgh Steelers? Are the Cincinnati Bengals still bottom-feeders?
Over the next few minutes, we will make the case as to why the Ravens are division-champion material. In addition, we will predict regular-season records for the Bengals, Browns and Steelers—analyzing their schedules for 2011 and how each team stacks up to the Ravens.

text: This is a short set of guidelines for those patching ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Its not an iron-clad set of rules, but just things which make life easier when reading and integrating a patch. Lots of information can be found in makemaker.org. MakerMaker is being maintained until something else can replace it. Bugs will be fixed and compatibility improved, but I would like to avoid new features. If you want to add something to MakeMaker, consider instead working on Module::Build, MakeMaker's heir apparent. Reporting bugs - Often the only information we have for fixing a bug is contained in your report. So... - Please report your bugs via http://rt.cpan.org or by mailing to firstname.lastname@example.com. RT is preferred. - Please report your bug immediately upon encountering it. Do not wait until you have a patch to fix the bug. Patches are good, but not at the expense of timely bug reports. - Please be as verbose as possible. Include the complete output of your 'make test' or even 'make test TEST_VERBOSE=1' and a copy of the generated Makefile. Err on the side of verbosity. The more data we have to work with, the faster we can diagnose the problem. - If you find an undocumented feature, or if a feature has changed/been added which causes a problem, report it. Do not assume it was done deliberately. Even if it was done deliberately, we still want to hear if it caused problems. - If you're testing MakeMaker against a development version of Perl, please also check it against the latest stable version. This makes it easier to figure out if its MakeMaker or Perl at fault. Patching details - Please use unified diffs. (diff -u) - Patches against the latest development snapshot from makemaker.org are preferred. Patches against the latest CPAN version are ok, too. - Post your patch to email@example.com. Code formatting - No literal tabs (except where necessary inside Makefile code, obviously). - 4 character indentation. - this_style is prefered instead of studlyCaps. - Private subroutine names (ie. those used only in the same package they're declared in) should start with an underscore (_sekret_method). - Protected subroutines (ie. ones intended to be used by other modules in ExtUtils::*) should be named normally (no leading underscore) but documented as protected (see Documentation below). - Do not use indirect object syntax (ie. new Foo::Bar (@args)) - make variables use dollar signs like Perl scalars. This causes problems when you have to mix them both in a string. If you find yourself backwacking lots of dollar signs because you have one interpolated perl variable, like this: return <<'EOT' subdirs :: \$(NOECHO)cd $subdir && \$(MAKE) -f \$(FIRST_MAKEFILE) all \$(PASTHRU) EOT or are switching quoting contexts: return <<q{ subdirs :: $(NOECHO)cd }.$subdir.q{ && $(MAKE) -f $(FIRST_MAKEFILE) all $(PASTHRU) }; consider using sprintf instead. return sprintf <<'EOT', $subdir; subdirs :: $(NOECHO)cd %s && $(MAKE) -f $(FIRST_MAKEFILE) all $(PASTHRU) EOT Refactoring and Cleanup - MakeMaker is a mess. We like patches which clean things up. Backwards Compatibility - MakeMaker must be backwards compatible to 5.5.3 (5.005_03). Avoid any obvious 5.6-isms (threads, warnings.pm, Unicode, our, v1.2.3, attributes open my $fh, lvalue subroutines, any new core modules, etc...). - MakeMaker should avoid having module dependencies. Avoid using modules which didn't come with 5.5.3 and avoid using features from newer versions. Sometimes this is unavoidable. Cross-Platform Compatibility - MakeMaker must work on all architectures Perl works on (see perlport.pod) and with many different versions of make. This means all Unixen (including Cygwin and MacOS X), Windows (including DOS), MacOS Classic and VMS. - Often when you patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix, similar patches must be done to the other MM_* modules. If you can, please do this extra work otherwise I have to. If you can't, that's ok. We can help. - If possible, please test your patch on two Very Different architectures. Unix, Windows, MacOS Classic and VMS being Very Different. Note: Cygwin and OS X are Unixen for our purposes. - If nothing else, at least try it on two different Unixen or Windows machines (ie. Linux and IRIX or WinNT and Win95). - HP's TestDrive (www.testdrive.compaq.com) and SourceForge's compile farm (www.sourceforge.net) are good sources of testing machines of many different architectures and platforms. Accounts are free. - If you find yourself writing "do_this if $^O eq 'That'" (ie. checks on the OS type) perhaps your code belongs in one of the non-Unix MM_* modules (ie. MM_Win32, MM_VMS, etc...). If one does not exist, consider creating one. Its ok to have an MM_* module with only one method. - Some shells have very small buffers. This means command lines must be as small as possible. If your command is just too long, consider making it an ExtUtils::Command::MM function. If your command might receive many arguments (such as pod2man or pm_to_blib) consider using split_command() to split it into several, shorter calls. - Most shells quote differently. If you need to put a perl one-liner in the Makefile, please use oneliner() to generate it. Tests - Tests would be nice, but I'm not going to pretend testing MakeMaker is easy. If nothing else, let us know how you tested your patch by hand. Documentation - Documentation would be nice. - If the new feature/method is private, please document it with POD wrapped in "=begin/end private" tags. That way it will be documented, but won't be displayed (future versions of perldoc may have options to display). =begin private =item _foo_bar $mm->_foo_bar Blah blah blah =end private =cut sub _foo_bar { ... - If you're overriding a method, document that its an override and *why* its being overridden. Don't repeat the original documentation.

GRAND BLANC, MI – Crossing the railroad tracks at Union Street is now a thing of the past.
A $77,300 construction project expected to finish by the end of September will close Union Street by the United States Post Office, and on the east side of the railroad crossing.
Grand Blanc City Manager Paul Brake said the construction is part of a safety project to minimize the number of streets that cross railroads.
The street will be torn up and repaved and a curb placed on the east side of the street nearest the post office, while a guardrail will be put on the west side of the street to block traffic from crossing over the railroad. Curb and gutter work also will be completed on the east side of the street.
Throughout the month-long construction, Brake said motorists will still have access to the post office.
"It will not impede traffic, people from getting in and out of the post office," Brake said.
The project is paid primarily from Michigan Department of Transportation funds and a portion from the railroad company.
As a separate road construction project in the city, Worthington Court will be repaved sometime in the upcoming months.
The road work will take one day and residents in The Cliffs subdivision will be notified when the work will begin. The cost of the project is $23,700 and will be paid for through an escrow account that was previously set up by the development.

November 24, 1998
Editorialists in East and South Asia, Europe and Israel responded positively to President Clinton's just-concluded five-day trip to Asia, which included visits to Japan, South Korea and Guam. A majority of writers, particularly in Japan and South Korea, judged that the president had exercised great skill in assuaging Japan's "wounded pride"--over criticism of the Japanese government's reported inability to reverse the severe recession affecting that country's economy--and in "fine-tuning" relations between the U.S. and South Korea. On the question of how to deal with North Korea, which has refused access--except at a very high price tag--to a suspected underground nuclear facility near Yongbyon, analysts judged that Mr. Clinton's visit to Seoul had produced a single, "consistent" U.S.-South Korean policy toward Pyongyang, one based on engagement and encouragement of the North to "take advantage of its historic opportunity" to renew ties with South Korea. Some observers, however, characterized North Korea as a "rogue nation, groaning under a megalomaniac cult of personality" that still posed a serious threat to its neighbors and to the world. As if to confirm those fears, Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) alleged that U.S. "warmongers" and South Korea were planning a "pre-emptive attack" against North Korea. KCNA also maintained that the U.S. "wants to break the DPRK-U.S. framework agreement" and claimed that is was "basic U.S....policy to impede the reunification of Korea" in order to maintain "South Korea [as a] permanent colonial military base." Following are additional themes in the commentary:
JAPAN: 'CLINTON HAS NEVER BEEN KINDER'--President Clinton's televised town meeting with Japanese interlocutors garnered high praise from Japanese dailies. Tokyo's liberal Asahi stressed that Mr. Clinton "had never...been so kind to Japan and its people." Business-oriented Nihon Keizei also underscored the president's "politeness" and speculated that Mr. Clinton "might have concluded that speaking directly with the Japanese would be more effective in bringing about change in Japan." Papers in Germany, Italy and India likewise emphasized that Mr. Clinton was careful to avoid the "impression of exaggerated American arrogance" during his visit to Tokyo by "pronouncing words of encouragement" for Japan's economic strategies. Tokyo's moderate Yomiuri noted that the U.S. "wants tangible results from Japan" to enable Asia to emerge from the current economic crisis, and urged the Japanese government to "do whatever is necessary to implement pump-priming measures as quickly...as possible."
SOUTH KOREA: BILATERAL 'SOLIDARITY' STRENGTHENED--Media outlets in South Korea saw bilateral relations with the U.S. as strengthened by the president's visit. Business-oriented and conservative papers "welcomed" the two countries' hammering out of a "consistent" policy of engagement toward North Korea. Moderate dailies perceived "differences" between Washington and Seoul on economic issues. Hankook Ilbo, for example, pointed out that Mr. Clinton had "mentioned unfair trade practices regarding steel and semiconductors," and urged the South Korea government to "develop a new strategy" to resolve the dispute over these sectors. Conservative Chosun Ilbo judged that the president's "high assessment of [South] Korea's efforts on economic reform" would "help increase foreign investment" in South Korea. This survey is based on 32 reports from 17 countries, November 19 - 24.
EDITOR: Kathleen J. Brahney
JAPAN: "Did U.S., South Korea Close The Gap?"
An editorial in liberal Mainichi observed (11/24): "President Clinton returned home on Monday after winding up his three-day visit to South Korea. During the president's visit to Tokyo and Seoul, on the agenda for discussion among the United States, Japan and South Korea was how to deal with the mounting suspicion that North Korea is constructing an underground nuclear complex near Yongbyon. The purpose of Mr. Clinton's visit to Seoul was also to coordinate differing views between the United States, where Congress and public opinion are coming to terms with the North's negative position toward an inspection of the complex, and South Korea, which is trying to improve exchanges through its 'sunshine' policy. The president also found it necessary to warn that the Korean peninsula continues to be a 'danger zone' in East Asia.... The two leaders also agreed that their countries should continue to urge Pyongyang to accept an inspection of the underground complex...[but] South Korea is not willing to heighten military tension with the North. Washington and Seoul are no longer in tune over their approaches toward Pyongyang.... Washington has also to keep in mind that close cooperation among the United States, Japan and South Korea is indispensable in dealing with North Korea. If the United States fails to do so, the president's visit to Tokyo and Seoul will have been meaningless."
"Encouraged By Mr. Clinton"
Liberal Asahi's editorial maintained (11/22): "During his two-day visit to Japan, President Clinton spoke and reacted in a kinder manner than ever before. In fact, never had he been so kind to Japan and its people. The words he said in a TV town hall meeting with the Japanese people were very impressive.... American presidents' expressions toward Japan have often changed--with a change in the international situation. But it was rather unusual for an American president to encourage the Japanese directly, and speak in direct support of a troubled Japanese prime minister.... There were signs that the president had recognized the possibility of a Japanese backlash to strong U.S. demands on Japan's economic measures.... With the U.S. economy showing signs of deceleration, the administration can no longer look on Japan's economic stagnation indifferently. The United States will be in trouble if Japan remains stuck in the economic mire.... U.S. paternalism often mirrors its excessive confidence in itself, combined with distrust and irritation toward Japan. While we should be careful not to become too relaxed, we should cheer up (and stir up the Japanese economy) by taking advantage of President Clinton's encouraging words."
"Japan Urged To Produce Results"
An editorial in top-circulation, moderate Yomiuri observed (11/21): "The Clinton administration wants tangible results from Japan that will help Asia and the rest of the world overcome the current [economic] crisis.... U.S. administration officials and others remain skeptical about the real worth of [Japan's] comprehensive economic measures. To dispel such deep-rooted skepticism, the government will have to do whatever is necessary to implement the pump-priming measures as quickly and effectively as possible. Care must be taken not to rekindle U.S.-Japan trade friction or harm the existing cooperative framework.... Amid growing suspicions that the North is building an underground nuclear complex, the two leaders' expression of concern is seen as a strong statement of their determination to maintain peace and stability in this region. To enhance such joint efforts, it is essential to improve cooperation with other nations, including South Korea, while at the same time improving the U.S.-Japan security system, which is considered a powerful stabilizer in the Asia-Pacific region."
"Clinton Speaks Directly To Japanese People"
Business-oriented Nihon Keizai stressed (11/21): "President Clinton attached great importance to his meeting with Prime Minister Obuchi. But the president attached even greater importance to his TV town hall meeting with the Japanese.... During his TV town hall meeting, Mr. Clinton answered questions (from the Japanese) as politely as possible. Clearly, that was part of the president's message directed toward Japan. Perhaps the president felt a certain sense of disappointment over Japan's political stalemate in recent years: Mr. Obuchi is the sixth prime minister [Mr. Clinton] has met with since he became president. He might have concluded that speaking directly with the Japanese would be more effective in bringing about change in Japan."
SOUTH KOREA: "Security Diplomacy, An Urgent Issue"
Yonsei University Professor Lee Chung-min had this op-ed in business-oriented Joong-Ang Ilbo (11/24): "At their summit, Presidents Clinton and Kim made an important political decision, agreeing that the engagement policy with North Korea will not be modified. This finally put an end to the growing conflict between the United States and Korea over how to deal with the North's suspected facility. By confirming both a mutually shared philosophy in support of democracy and a market economy as well as the importance of U.S.-South Korean solidarity, the two leaders thus reaffirmed the importance of the bilateral relationship.... The real question is about the North--whether it will eventually be able to change the current regime without the country erupting into political and military incidents."
"Korea Needs Measures In The Face Of U.S. Trade Pressure"
Moderate Hankook Ilbo observed (11/24): "U.S.-Korea trade has become a hot issue. While promising Washington's continuing support for Korea's economic recovery efforts, President Clinton nevertheless pointed out that Korea should avoid protectionism, and even mentioned unfair trade practices regarding steel and semiconductors. His remarks here, along with his statements in Japan emphasizing the need for market opening, make clear the true nature of the U.S. stance.... Korea should recognize that unless it has a new strategy, the U.S.-Korea trade dispute won't be resolved easily."
"IMF Hardship And U.S. Trade Pressure"
Moderate, regional Chonnam Ilbo opined (11/24): "While strengthening security ties with Korea, the United States maintained an uncompromising stance on economics during President Clinton's visit. The United States is now putting pressure on us over trade, despite Clinton's promise of U.S. assistance to help our economic recovery effort.... It is worth noting that we need U.S. assistance more than ever, and that our economic recovery is in the interest of the United States.... We only hope that the United States takes into account the fact that Korea is still on the way to economic recovery and is expecting the United States to play a positive role in the process."
"North Korea Should Not Misjudge Engagement Policy"
Former Korean Ambassador to the United States, Kim Kyoung-won, had this op-ed in conservative Chosun Ilbo (11/23): "Though economic issues were discussed, the focus of the Clinton-Kim summit fell on security. Prior to the summit, the United States had publicly raised the issue of suspicions over North Korea's facility in Kumchangri, while South Korea sought to defend its engagement policy. As a result of this difference, many Koreans were left feeling unsure about U.S.-South Korean solidarity.... The summit, nevertheless, fine-tuned the two countries' positions into one consistent policy, an outcome which we welcome. The real challenge, however, lies ahead.
"The issue could enter a whole new phase if the North refuses to grant access to the suspected facility.... North Korea should not misunderstand the intention of the engagement policy. As President Clinton said, President Kim's policy is providing North Korea with an 'historic opportunity.'... The Clinton-Kim summit was a success, although it tells us that our responsibility is greater now than ever."
"Clinton's Visit"
Moderate Hankook Ilbo featured this op-ed piece by Kyung Hee University Professor Yim Sung-ho (11/23): "A sense of difference still lingered...in the area of the two countries' overall policy direction, especially with President Clinton sounding more conditional on North Korea.... On the economy, the difference between the two countries was even more apparent, with the U.S. delegation making open demands that Korea eliminate trade tariffs.... There is no doubt that merely by taking place, the summit assumed enormous symbolic significance. Overall, however, the summit was more exploratory than productive, giving the sense that a new challenge lies ahead."
"The Way Americans See Korea's IMF Year"
Conservative Chosun Ilbo's editorial held (11/23): "More than anything else, it was significant that President Clinton expressed his high assessment of Korea's efforts on economic reform. He and other U.S. officials also agreed that the Korean economy is on the right track, which we are sure will help increase foreign investments in Korea."
NORTH KOREA: "U.S. Pre-emptive Attack Planned"
Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) held (11/22): "U.S. bellicose elements are staging U.S.-South Korea, U.S.-Japan joint military maneuvres one after another in and around South Korea, claiming that the 'most unstable area of Asia is North Korea' and that the United States should 'make full military preparations.' This is a revelation of their attempt to make a pre-emptive attack on us. They are slandering the DPRK, describing its launch of an artificial satellite as 'ballistic missile launching test.' The slander is designed to provide a justification for their reckless war game and find a pretext for the provocation of war. The recent maneuvers in the waters around the Korean peninsula attest that the United States is carrying its Korean war scenario into practice. Now that the U.S. warmongers want to break the DPRK-U.S. framework agreement and unleash a war against us, we cannot but take a tough countermeasure."
"War Mongers' Wildcat Arms Buildup"
Official KCNA released this (11/22): "A dangerous situation in which a war may break out any time is prevailing [on the Korean peninsula] due to [the U.S. and South Korea's] frantic arms buildup and new war provocation moves. Their war mongers of the self-styled 'government for the people' are zealously joining in the anti-DPRK war preparations of their imperialist master, gathering the dark clouds of war. We cannot remain a passive onlooker to their reckless moves. Authorities of South Korea should stop acting rashly. Time will show what a miserable doom of the provokers is like."
"U.S. Occupation Source Of All Misfortunes, Pains, Disasters"
Official KCNA maintained (11/22): "As a result of the U.S. military occupation, South Korea remained a colony and the Korean nation which has boasted of 5000-year-long history has been forced to suffer from the tragedy of division. The history of the U.S. occupation of South Korea is a history of the most ferocious and shameless aggression and conquest. The U.S. army [that] landed in South Korea...was an army for the maintenance of colonial rule.
"The United States turned South Korea into a colonial military base and accelerated war preparations against North Korea from the first days of their occupation of South Korea for the purpose of conquering the whole of Korea and dominating Asia and the rest of the world with South Korea as the springboard.... It is the basic strategy of the U.S. Korea policy to impede the reunification of Korea for conversion of South Korea into its permanent colonial military base. As long as the United States continues occupying South Korea, the Korean nation cannot get rid of the misfortunes, pains and disasters caused by the division . Nor can the South Korean people's desire for independence, democracy and reunification be realized."
CHINA: "U.S., Japan Move To Reinforce Military Ties"
Official, English-language China Daily said (11/21): "Although the action received little publicity, a Japanese defense official said that the United States and Japan took another step toward stronger military ties during President Bill Clinton's visit to Tokyo."
"DPRK Says U.S., ROK Planning Invasion"
Official, English-language China Daily said (11/21): "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said yesterday the Korean Peninsula lives under a threat of nuclear war because of U.S. plans to invade the nation. A day after U.S. President Bill Clinton and Republic of Korea President Kim Dae-jung discussed strategy toward Pyongyang, the DPRK official party newspaper said the peninsula had become a sensitive global hot spot."
"Seeking Dominance In Asia-Pacific Affairs"
Yuan Bingzhong noted in official municipal Beijing Daily (Beijing Ribao, 11/20): "The purpose of Clinton's Asian trip is to maintain U.S. economic and security interests. Strengthening the alliance with Japan and South Korea is the real reason for Clinton's trip."
HONG KONG: "At Loggerheads"
The independent South China Morning Post commented in its editorial (11/20): "Whatever pleasantries are exchanged during Mr. Clinton's visit [to Japan], relations may well deteriorate still further in the short term, with wider implications for the region. The APEC summit showed the doubts about opening markets among East Asian countries, and Japan's protection of its domestic markets may look like a model to nations that want to shy away from the challenges of globalization.... This means that both countries must learn to manage a relationship beset with continuing tensions. Despite recent improvements in Sino-U.S. links, China will never replace Japan as Washington's key partner in Asia. Nor does Tokyo have any other options when it comes to the sort of security umbrella the United States provides. The two economic superpowers still need each other. Whatever their disagreements, that should guarantee their long-standing partnership does not come unstuck."
INDONESIA: "Anticipating Signs Of Global Recession"
Independent Berita Buana commented (11/21): "Clinton...remains unsure that Japan has done all it can to quickly restore the economy.... Experts say that Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea and Thailand are not following the strict monetary and fiscal policies that Mexico took to get out of the crisis in 1994.... Were we cooperating with other countries to reduce the potential of global recession, our economic crisis might not be lingering."
THAILAND: "North Korea: One Step Forward, One Back"
The lead editorial of the top-circulation, moderately conservative Bangkok Post stressed (11/23): "North Korea appears to have simply broken its word on weapons development. It has accepted the U.S., South Korean and Japanese aid involved, and renewed its nuclear arms work. There is one way to disprove that, of course--open up the underground complex to inspection.... North Korea's constant military threats have no place in today's world. Pyongyang cannot be allowed to make or own nuclear weapons.... In today's world, there is no room for a rogue nation with the policies followed by Pyongyang. The sooner it changes, the better for North Koreans, and us all."
BRITAIN: "Clinton's Thoughts Turn To New Economic Order"
Readers of the independent Financial Times saw this editorial (11/24): "When Bill Clinton...was asked during his Tokyo visit what was the most important economic challenge facing the world, he replied without hesitation: 'to adapt the international economic systems to the realities of the 21st century.' Clinton advisers say the president instinctively feels that change to the whole system is needed. Now that the has only 18 months left in his administration and the threat of impeachment is fading, it is an issue to which he could devote his prodigious energy. So far, he has not made any specific proposals. But this thinking may already be more radical than that prevailing in the U.S. Treasury, the IMF and the U.S. Federal Reserve. If the international economic turmoil does truly require a radical response, perhaps Mr. Clinton might have one last shot at greatness."
"Japan Braced For Clinton's Trade Agenda"
The centrist Independent said (11/19): "The United States attacked Japan for an 'inexcusable' failure of leadership at the APEC summit yesterday as President Clinton prepared for what promises to be an uneasy official visit to Tokyo."
"Japan's Injured Pride"
The independent Financial Times had this from Tokyo (11/19): "There is a growing anti-America mood in Japan, which might damp the welcome for president Clinton in Tokyo. Government officials are fed up with being told Japan is not doing enough to help Asia. Japan is also irked by American decisions to kill Japanese initiatives to mitigate the crisis. It is still smarting over the way the United States quashed a proposal to start up an Asian Monetary Fund.... These concerns have spilled over to Japan's security arrangements with the United States.... Mr. Clinton, therefore, has many fences to mend. With luck, the visit could reassure the Japanese government that it still enjoys a special relationship with Washington. On the other hand, the United States seems more concerned with doing whatever is necessary to resolve the Asian crisis."
FRANCE: "Seoul, Asia's Good Pupil"
Right-of-center Les Echos judged in an editorial (11/23): "South Korea, which was strongly hit by the economic crisis, has accepted with relief the satisfactory mark given by Bill Clinton to its leaders.... Once again the South Korean leaders who feared that the United States would blame them for not opening enough to outside competition, got the benefits of the missteps of their North Korean enemy brothers."
GERMANY: "Clinton's Correct Approach"
Georg Blume told readers in an editorial in left-of-center Die Tageszeitung of Berlin (11/20): "Japanese criticism of the United States is unjustified. The United States is demanding economic liberalization and democracy from Asia, including Japan. The first demand corresponds to the high U.S. trade deficit with almost all Asian countries.... Even though too quick a liberalization will be detrimental to the poorest Asian countries, we cannot blame the United States if it pursues its own economic interests. [Liberalization] can even be useful for Japan, since U.S. competition can result in an effect which the Japanese government has not succeeded in bringing about with its ineffective demand policy: the dissolution of rigid interest groups.... Indeed, U.S. concerns correspond to the wishes of the majority of Japanese. Only the step from a producer to a consumer society, which would then provide easier access for U.S. companies, will free the country from its economic crisis. With this certainty, Clinton can face his Japanese critics in a relaxed way."
ITALY: "Clinton's Message On Target"
PDS (leading government party) L'Unita had this from Washington (11/20): "The reforms begun by the Obuchi government go in the right direction, even though Japan should learn not to be afraid to open its borders to foreign products, especially American products. That is the message President Clinton sent to the Japanese yesterday during his first day in Tokyo.... The United States is asking Japan for precise commitments, and Japan responds with complaints and a certain reluctance. Aware of this difficult atmosphere, Clinton was careful to begin on the right foot, pronouncing words of encouragement for the strategy adopted by Japan."
"Clinton Carefully Avoids Impression Of U.S. 'Arrogance'"
Andrea di Robilant filed from Tokyo for centrist, influential La Stampa (11/20): "It is no mystery to anybody, especially the Japanese, that Clinton has come to Tokyo mainly to urge Japan to speed up a way out from the dangerous economic recession it has faced for the last five years.... In his private talks with Japanese Prime Minister Obuchi, President Clinton will reiterate that strongly. But in public, Clinton does not want to reinforce the impression of exaggerated American arrogance, also because his goal is exactly to convince Japanese public opinion to exert pressure on its government in turn."
BELGIUM: "Clinton On Anti-Protectionist Crusade In Asia"
Diplomatic correspondent Pierre Lefevre wrote in independent Le Soir (11/24): "The president's and the vice president's trips to Asia have turned into a real crusade against the protectionist tendencies of the countries hit by the international financial crisis and against similar temptations in the United States.... Bill Clinton picked up the torch during the two days he spent in Japan. For the first time, he explicitly pointed out to the Japanese that a protectionist attitude on their part could result in defensive reaction in the United States and (thus) upset the world trade system.... The reason the United States pushes the need for Asian countries to remain open to the world trade, and for Japan to revive its domestic market is that it does not intend to become importer of last resort of a depressed Asia."
POLAND: "World's Most Crucial Relations"
Tokyo correspondent Dorota Halasa wrote in centrist Rzeczpospolita (11/19): "Security in East Asia depends on relations among four countries: the United States, Japan, China, and Russia.... But the basis for East Asian security still lies in the only permanent alliance in the region--the U.S.-Japan security system which Bill Clinton has repeatedly called the world's most crucial bilateral relationship....
"Their importance lies in maintaining a balance of power so that no East Asian country can assume the position of a [single] power capable of threatening the stability of the whole region."
SPAIN: "Japan And The 'Clinton Plan'"
Conservative ABC opined (11/21): "American President Bill Clinton has issued a stern warning to Japan: Protectionism does not offer a way out of its economic crisis, nor is it a dignified response to the country's present circumstances, but rather a reflex engaged in by those who live in a world that is removed from reality. Clinton...has urged the Japanese to liberalize key sectors, such as telecommunications and aviation, as a way to curb increasing unemployment, and not to throw up trade barriers that would reduce their economic strategy to something akin to licking one's own wounds.... So long as Japan does not rectify its problem-stricken financial system, the current crisis will become a chronic illness instead of just the symptom of one."
ISRAEL: "North Korea's Duplicity"
The independent Jerusalem Post ran this editorial (11/22): "If it is not Iraq's turn to be an international troublemaker, it must be North Korea's. This other dictatorship, groaning under a megalomaniac cult of personality, with its people starving in the streets, also has a pet obsession with weapons of mass destruction and general diplomatic gangsterism.... Since North Korea supposedly has nothing to hide, it has nothing to lose by allowing international inspectors to look over the site. With its past history of duplicity, lies and international provocation, it is the least it can do to reassure a world that is helping feed its people while the regime continues to waste money on a quest."
INDIA: "Clinton Focuses On Economy, Skirts Japan's China Fears"
The centrist Hindu's Tokyo correspondent F.J. Khergamvala penned this analysis (11/22): "Despite the best efforts of his host...to have the president's two-day stopover in Tokyo focus on defense and security, Clinton stuck to his guns and hammered home the need for urgency in Japan leading Asia out of the economic crisis. But...Clinton prudently heeded calls from both sides of the Pacific that this message was best delivered in private and not, as in the past year and a half, through 'megaphone diplomacy.'... For those Japanese who were looking for...Clinton to gang up with Obuchi against China, his reticence and a passing reference were eloquent.... It was very sensible for Clinton to avoid saying something too pro-Japan in public, if only because it would have marred the state visit of China's president, beginning next week.... The fundamental purpose of the Clinton visit was to apply some balm to wounded feelings in Japan, but also to address some trade and jobs-related concerns of an America concerned about the impact of the slump in Asia and a president anxious to see that the performance of the U.S. economy acts as a buffer against the ongoing impeachment process."
SRI LANKA: "The Sole Superpower's World"
Mervyn de Silva asked in the independent weekly Sunday Times (11/ 22): "Isn't China tomorrow's super power?... China and the United States are on a collision course, predict two American scholars, Richard Bernstein and Ross Munro in their study The Coming Conflict with China.... Their case is founded on two propositions: the drive to dominate Asia and 'to replace the United States as the pre-eminent power in Asia.'... Their thesis is that Japan should be strengthened 'since the United States alone can no longer fill the vacuum.'"

Levinas, Law Schools and the Poor: They Stand Over Us
Marie A. Failinger
Hamline University - School of Law
July 7, 2010
Oklahoma City University Law Review, Vol. 35, No. 1, p. 115, 2010
In the style of philosopher Emmanuel Levinas, who has written about the ethics of the Face, this essay challenges the complacency of most American law schools in response to the plight of the poor and proposes ways in which the law school curriculum, space and programs can be re-configured to bring the poor into community with legal educators and students.

Yes, Toronto sports fans, there is life after the Leafs.
While most local fans were riveted to the playoff push and the Leafs-Bruins series, the went through an emotional roller coaster of their own — almost on par with the wild ride the Leafs took through the first round of the playoffs.
In case you missed it, here's what happened, and is happening, with the Jays:
The Jays lost 18 of 25 games from April 7 to May 4, roughly the same time the Leafs emerged as a sure bet to make the playoffs and end nine years of playoff drought. The Jays then won three straight, sparking hope that a turnaround was imminent.
Toronto's vaunted pitching staff looked extremely vulnerable over the losing skid.
Top of the rotation knuckler R.A. Dickey was roughed up in his starts, giving up eight homers in his first 42 innings, and losing five of his first seven outings. He's pitched well enough to win some games, but mostly his numbers aren't up to his standards.
He's also undergone an MRI to determine the severity of recurring neck and shoulder muscle problems. It doesn't appear serious, but an ache that won't keep most people out of work can be hazardous to the way a pitcher performs his craft.
Lefty Mark Buehrle was a puzzle: he'd given up a league-high 11 homers as of last Thursday. But he turned in a seven-inning gem in Boston in his last start as the Jays won a series for just the second time this season.
Josh Johnson is on the DL with triceps muscle troubles, and won't be back until the end of May.
And there was plenty more troubling news for the Jays pitching staff:
Overall, it's not been a pretty picture; but that starting staff should be in better shape come May 25.
The awful April brought with it rumblings that John Gibbons' job might be in jeopardy.
It's possible that Gibbons is off the hot seat, after the three-game win streak and the series win in Boston.
Gibbons owned up to the losing and said on several occasions that he is accountable because the team was performing poorly under his watch. But when players boot balls, strike out at alarming rates with runners in scoring position, and just play bad baseball, there's not much the manager can do.
With leadoff man Jose Reyes on the injury shelf until the end of June at the earliest, and No. 2 hitter Melky Cabrera struggling mightily, Gibbons moved Colby Rasmus to the No. 2 slot. Gibbons said he'd run a while with Rasmus in the second slot; but the next few days saw Rajai Davis hit there, followed by Adam Lind, and Cabrera again.
Gibbons, of late, has gone with Cabrera, Bautista and Encarnacion as his 1-2-3 hitters, and says he'll stick with that for now.
It's been a rough go for Gibbons so far. But everyone knows the team's problems begin and end with pitching: and the Jays, after the first 42 days of the season, had 22 pitchers on the major league roster.
Gibbons is mostly a hands-off manager, but he's had to have his hands on the product, probably more than he'd like.
Closer Casey Janssen. Tied for fourth in AL saves with nine; leads Jays with sparkling 0.75 ERA. No blown saves. Did not allow a hit to the first 18 right-handed hitters he faced. Came out of spring with question marks about his shoulder health, but he has done nothing but perform. One of the best closers in the league.
Catcher J.P. Arencibia is having his best season so far, and has been a force with the long ball with the game on the line.
Have hit 50 homers through Monday, second in the league; but have given up 46 homers, second most in the league.
Probably more work for GM Alex Anthopoulos.
The club that looked complete and was favoured to at least make the playoffs, may need another starter, something that wasn't even dreamt of a scant month ago. And with Reyes down long-term, offence and defence from the middle infielders is not up to the standards of a truly competitive club.
Whether Anthopoulos acts on those shortcomings will likely be influenced by how the club performs when it returns to full health over the next few weeks.
Going into Tuesday night's game against the Giants, the underachieving Jays were 9.5 games off the pace in an AL East that is a lot tougher than most thought in spring training. Toronto must go 80-43 to reach the 95-win plateau that is generally believed to be the threshold for a post-season berth.
