While Wednesday's scare at Liberty High School in Bethlehem turned out to be a fake, police obviously take any threat inside a school very seriously.
Security experts say the steps taken by Bethlehem Police were textbook.
"They don't know until they arrive on site that it's gonna be a shooting event or not," explained security expert Dr. Diana Sorrentino of Lehigh Valley Paladin, LLC.
She says officers most likely arrived at Liberty Wednesday expecting the worst.
It soon became clear there most likely was no active shooter situation, but there could still be a threat inside the buildings.
"The challenge now becomes finding the individuals if the threat actually exists within the school," added Sorrentino.
Liberty High School spans 570,000 square feet across five buildings, a massive area to cover when a shooter could be on the loose.
Sorrentino says immediately everyone on the 22-acre campus became a suspect.
Officers methodically went room by room checking identification.
"They shut the lights off, locked the door and we kinda just sat secluded from the door so they couldn't see in the room if there was anyone," described sophomore Alex Smith.
"They just came in, guns pointed at us, yelling, screaming, telling us to get down, they were throwing desks," added Aryella Gonzalez.
Sorrentino says, when anyone could be a shooter you will be treated aggressively.
"Law enforcement is more prepared than ever to properly respond and intervene to these types of threats," she said.
Bethlehem Police and school officials tell us everyone involved followed training and protocol.
Officers were dealing with about 3,000 students in 129 classrooms on Liberty's campus.
"Without training and without learning how to do this in a systematic manner, so that we do in fact cover the entire building, would make it extremely difficult to do something like this," explained Bethlehem Police Detective Jerry Kametz.
Wednesday's lock down fell on the seventh anniversary of the shooting rampage at Virginia Tech, and Sunday marks 15-years since the massacre at Columbine High School.
Had there been a real gunmen and shots fired, Sorrentino says things would have been a lot different at Liberty.
"The average active shooter event is over in three to five minutes," she shared.
Authorities are now trained not to wait.
Sorrentino tells us officers who respond go directly after the person doing the killing.
"They don't wait, they go into the school and they pursue the gunfire."
Sorrentino adds school shootings typically have the best outcomes when the person is cut off before they enter the building.

Love this game
This is just a trial game. The first 20 levels, but if you like it then it's worth the money to buy it, right? At least they let you try more than 1 or 2 levels or, none at all. Personally I love the game and I'm going to buy the full version!
This is a try before you buy.
This gives you one level of 20 to try before you buy for free. It lets you get a feel for the New York theme. I love the challenge of your games and don't mind buying fun games if they are not too much.
Not bad
It's a fun game but you can't reach anyone when you have problems with installation. I have installed this game 3 times and paid for the rest of the versions and it won't download past level 20. What a rip off !!! I paid for the full version.

Just finished reading Ray Bradbury's Zen in the Art of Writing, which contains the 1973 essay of the same name--an essay written at least one year before Robert Pirsig's application of the Koans to motorcycle maintenance.
I thought it holds up very well, especially Bradbury's main points: Don't write for money, don't write for critics, don't write for friends--write for yourself. Don't try to be highbrow, don't try to be crassly commercial--take the middle path. And do channel your emotions and personality and memories and imagination and obsessions and compulsions onto the page. When writing a story, let your characters drive the plot, not vice-versa. And listen to them, rather than tell them what to do. That's the Zen aspect, the conscious letting go that makes writing flow.
Finally, a word about discipline. Read a poem every day. And write every day. Bradbury wrote 1,000 words a day since he was in his twenties. He's now in his 90s. That's millions of words, hundreds of stories, and dozens of books.
Plus, he wrote the script for Melville's Moby Dick, directed by John Huston, in Ireland...so in a way, that makes Bradbury yet another Irish bard.
As Bradbury explains his technique: ""Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a land mine. The land mine is me. After the explosion, I spend the rest of the day putting the pieces back together. Now, it's your turn. Jump!""
Inspirational, simple, and fine. You can buy the book from Amazon, here:

JDS: Fight with Overeem would be unfair to me
Cigano goes further. Rate a fake champion who it relies on doping. Calls for more rigorous supervision of athletes. More surprises as did tests on him and Overeem weeks ago. What Cigano said:
If the athletic commission and the UFC want I'll fight him. I am a fighter and will be there to fight, but it is sure to be a disrespect to MMA and how serious is this sport. This will also be unfair, it will be unfair to me. I've never used these devices to gain strength. I think the right would do blood tests on fighters as is done in the Olympics, not the urine, since the blood is easier to detect these illegal substances. We want to know who the best really. No use to be the best liar. Being a world champion making false use of a lot of drugs, that's not being champion. I can clearly say that I am the champion without ever having the use of any illegal artifice in order to get there. I favor more rigorous tests to assess whether someone is doped. It has to be a clean sport and these tests should occur more surprises. If Overeem is more aggressive and stronger the more he will resist blows and it will be difficult for me. If I lose will be unfair. He will not have fought better than I have fought doped.
Ledo who mistakenly think Overeem Cigano considers the greatest threat to the throne of champion. In his view, the former champion Cain Velasquez is still the most dangerous challenge between heavy. Cigano also casts doubt on the glorious past of Overeem carrying three belts in the luggage. Over his words:
I find it curious he won three belts without ever having been caught doping in right away and ends up being caught in the UFC. It would be a good challenge for me, but my biggest challenge I went for the title against Cain. He is the most outstanding and would be a great challenge for me. The Overeem would be a good challenge, but it would be my biggest challenge. He fails the fitness and speed. He frightens the uninitiated, but who knows what being a fighter knows he would not be my most difficult opponent. We always say that the next challenge will be more difficult to prepare even more, but do not think Overeem would be my biggest challenge.

One of the meagre perks of eavesdropping is that it can clue you into worlds you might otherwise know nothing about
Midsummer, midweek, mid-afternoon and bad weather proved no obstacles to the group of women with whom I shared a smoking area outside a pub on the edge of a park in Humberside. Their alfresco healthcare debate was evidently not a forum that could be curtailed by drizzle, commitments and ignorance, or any combination thereof
My attention towards a man sitting behind me persistently describing his jetlag on his mobile phone
When something of major cultural importance goes down, there are few better places to watch it unfold than in a pub
Queuing for refreshments at the cinema, I noticed that the couple in front of me were talking about television
I found myself bound for the south coast turning down my music and tuning instead into the private drivel around me again
Spend enough time waiting in hospitals and you'll see that your fellow patients can be split into distinct types
I made a swift diagnosis of what was going down and came to the assumption that he was talking to the mother of his kid
Michael Holden: Of the many things to admire about New York City, its inhabitants' uninhibited facility for conversing loudly in public falls near the top of my list
Michael Holden: On a train I was struck by the aristocratic tone of the accents behind me - a rare sound in the modern phonetic landscape, and one that often merits closer investigation
I was having a haircut, feeling quite pleased that fortune had provided me with a barber who wasn't inclined towards small talk
In a department store I queued for the till behind two men - colleagues on their lunch break, I assumed - who were buying some lamps
I was in a cafe sat adjacent to two girls and a man in their mid-20s who would once have been described as "crusties"
Having made it to the airport ... soon I was sharing a table with a couple fretting about their abandoned pet
I was in a book shop when I noticed a couple talking to one another across a giant display of discounted hardbacks
A man boarded who was so angry that, in cooler conditions, steam might have come from his ears ...
I had a table to myself on a train for a while but as the journey went on my seclusion was punctured by a couple that came and sat opposite me and began prodding at a laptop
A young man looking a bit like a 90s eco protester brings a tray of food to his angry-looking wife in a fast food restaurant
I was in a pub when one of the men drinking nearby returned from the pub's toilets, clearly with something on his mind

In his controversial and award-winning 2003 book Fields of Fire, Terry Copp offered a stunning reversal of accepted military history, challenging the conventional view that the Canadian contribution to the Battle of Normandy was a failure. Cinderella Army continues the story of the operations carried out by the First Canadian Army in the last nine months of the war, and extends the argument developed in Fields of Fire that "the achievement of the Allied and especially the Canadian armies... has been greatly underrated while the effectiveness of the German army has been greatly exaggerated." Copp supports this argument with research conducted on numerous trips to the battlefields of France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. His detailed knowledge of the battlefield terrain, along with contemporary maps and air photos, allows Copp to explore the defensive positions that Canadian soldiers were required to overcome, and to illustrate how impressive their achievements truly were.
Except for a brief period during the Rhineland battle, the First Canadian Army was the smallest to serve under Eisenhower's command. The Canadian component of that Army never totalled more that 185,000 of the four million Allied troops serving in Northwest Europe. It is, however, evident that the divisions of 2nd Canadian Corps played a role disproportionate to their numbers. Their contribution to operations designed to secure the Channel Ports and open the approaches to Antwerp together with the battles in the Rhineland place them among the most heavily committed and sorely tried divisions in the Allied armies. By the end of 1944 3rd Canadian Division had suffered the highest number of casualties in 21 Army Group with 2nd Canadian Division ranking a close second. Among armoured divisions, 4th Canadian was at the top of the list as was 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade among the independent tank brigades. Overall Canadian casualties were twenty percent higher than in comparable British formations. This was a direct result of the much greater number of days that Canadian units were involved in close combat.
As passionately written and compellingly argued as its precursor, Cinderella Army is both an important bookend to Copp's earlier work, and stands on its own as a significant contribution to Canadian military history.

Instead of introducing another specialization of a notifier_block implementation, could we somehow have a kernel-based netlink listener which receives the same kind of event information from rtmsg_fib()? The reason is that having such a facility would hook directly onto existing rtmsg_* calls that exist throughout the stack, and that seems to scale better. -- Florian

"It touched me."
I was a little overwhelmed as the book began, however, as the book unfolded, I found it deeply touching, and beautifully written. It was very powerful. And - of course - Frank Muller is a master storyteller.
"I couldn't take off my earphones!"
Yes, great story -- Laurie King is always terrific
The main character is wonderful
I appreciated the wonderful descriptions of both landscape and the character's state of mind
Retired "Okie" librarian & happy to have found Audible for good stories & staying in touch with new authors & books.
"Slow! Slow story but well written."
I have enjoyed King's mysteries with Mary Russell in the Beekeeping series. They have a smooth intellectual pace with action enough to keep me interested. This title I found slow and unnecessarily complicated with long descriptions. I gave up listening after 5 hours & searched ahead in Pt. 2 for clues to the introduction of additional characters or action. Okay, I found them & went back to listening in order. The action peaks in the last 3 hours of a 16 hour book.
"Folly" is best described as a psychological mystery with long periods of descriptions of inner thoughts, landscapes, & interpersonal relationships. It is well & cleanly written. It takes place mostly in the Northwest San Juan Islands & a fictional island in the chain. The narrator is surprisingly appropriate even though the voice is that of a middle aged woman. He "sounds" like Rae perfectly.
Buy "Folly" if the title is discounted or if you are a dedicated King fan.
"Subtle, but intense"
Very well done. Suspenseful without going for the cheap thrill. Romantic without mushy platitudes. During much of the narrative, nothing happens, but the story is interesting enough so that we want to get to know Rae through these moments. The use of great-uncle Desmond's journal entries were very good, too, and illustrated parallels in her life as well as in the life of someone she doesn't actually meet until the end of the story. I loved the parts when she was building the house alone. When she was excavating the cellar and found all those artifacts and began to piece together Desmond's stay on the island. Her love and devotion to the house's restoration. The pleasure she took in her art and her craftsmanship (craftswomanship?). She sounds like a person I would like to know even though she doesn't sound easy to get to know or like once you have. She's abrupt and uncharitable sometimes. Kind of like me.
Most people love, love, love Frank Muller's narration and often, I do too. This narration however was breathy and overly dramatic. It called too much attention to itself and went against the grain of the story which is of a solitary woman sorting out her own demons in her own way. Not a good fit.
"Loved this book"
I have enjoyed all of Laurie King's Mary Russell books, but I was apprehensive about this book because of a few negative reviews about the narrator. I, too, found the narrator annoying to begin with but then grew to enjoy his narration immensely. This is now my favorite Laurie King book. Excellent character development and interesting plot.
Audible is the best thing since sliced bread..
I really did try this book, The woman who is the star of the show is an older woman who has lost some family and wishes to commit suicide. I say let her, She is spoiled beyond anything, she seems to be bothered by people who do not know who she is due to her career in wood working. I suspect Mrs King,( no relation) must also be like this,, a " You should know and love me " attitude. I am rude to people who want to be friendly,..Im very very self centered. And every man loves me! oh poor me, my life is so hard, cry cry..
This kind of attitude bothers me greatly, I usually like me heros.
My suggestion is to overlook this book unless you to are spoiled and rich brat!
"Deep and Complex"
This one is very different from L.R. King's other books and takes some time to get going. However, the characters are very deep and interesting. It's slow in the 1st half, but the second half picks up with some twists and turns.
"the WORST narration I have ever heard!!!"
The quality of the narration can make or break a story for me. The narrator of this book, Frank Mueller, is by far the very worst one I have ever heard. I would not even consider buying book where he is the narrator. He has a very soft sing-song voice and he ends every sentence with a breathy overly dramatic voice as if every sentence needs extra emphasis. It's so annoying and very distracting and that's just the general narration. His character voices are comical. I will not be able to complete this audio book. What a waste of money. I like Laurie R. King as an author so my best advice is to go with a traditional book on this one.
Stop listening to other people's opinions and form one of your own. That's sound advice, or not. It all depends on how literal you take it.
"A tentative three stars..."
This book, while well written, lacks a driving feel. To put it in its most simplest form... it's boring. There is the potential for a nice story and there is one in this book, but the lengths of details about wood working and the island drowns it.
Who cares about that stuff? It doesn't really move the story along.
As I said, this is well written. King is no doubt a great word smith, but the story... and it's always about the story, fell a little short of my desire.
I might try another book by her, but that, brothers and sisters of the written page, could be my folly..... :-)
"Narration so bad it's difficult to get through"
I'm a big fan of Laurie R. King, but this narrator is so bad he could be a satire. I stopped and started the book half a dozen times before I finally managed to not hear the narration. The book itself is great.

Current Vote
Scotlands Constitutional Future
Gordon Brown's recent suggestion on 'Home Rule' for Scotland along Federal lines raises an interesting point about Scotland's Constitutional settlement.
During the 2014 Independence Referendum campaign many people complained about the lack of a third option on the ballot paper. Called many things, mainly Devo-Max, it was likened to a federal system giving Scotland greater powers within the UK. However that option was never offered and the vote was restricted to a straight Yes or No question on Independence.
With a turnout of almost 85% and a majority of nearly 400,000, the Referendum should have put an end to the issue but it clearly hasn't. Many are still unhappy and the issue remains a serious distraction. It would therefore be helpful to get a clearer picture of what the people of Scotland actually want.
The status quo
We voted to remain in the Union and that should be the end of the matter for the foreseeable future.
Full Independence
We wish Scotland to become an Independent Country and to leave the UK
Federal system
Neither of the above is satisfactory and we need a Federal settlement as described by DevoSimple

Personally, I can't wait to hear how anonymous revelations don't matter when they're not advantageous to Democrats not involving endangering American troops through the revelation of national security secrets not suitable for use in an election against a Republican ...well, I'm sure the Online Left will find a suitably plausible-sounding rationalization, even if it's only plausible to them;
New Allegations Of White House Threats Over Chrysler
Creditors to Chrysler describe negotiations with the company and the Obama administration as "a farce," saying the administration was bent on forcing their hands using hardball tactics and threats.
Conversations with administration officials left them expecting that they would be politically targeted, two participants in the negotiations said.
Although the focus has so been on allegations that the White House threatened Perella Weinberg, sources familiar with the matter say that other firms felt they were threatened as well. None of the sources would agree to speak except on the condition of anonymity, citing fear of political repercussions.
See Ace of Spades HQ, who's already guessing which pushback will be used against this one; and Ed Morrissey, who's having fun with the 'madman theory' thing. For my part, I'm actually a little surprised. I knew that the current President is woefully inexperienced - and not a little petulant - when it comes to dealing with people who don't already love him, but surely he must have realized that things like this always come out in the end, yes?
Possibly not; there's a certain laziness that can be reasonably attributed to the Obama administration, and it's precisely the sort that you associate with reasonably bright people with a too-healthy appreciation of their own virtues. From bad vetting of executive positions to consistently slapdash efforts in the basics of international protocol to generally thoughtless exercising of political power, the White House has already demonstrated that they just don't think things through often enough before they do them. It shouldn't be too surprising that this heedlessness might extend to behaviors that are bit more ethically... tricky.
Of course, the people who need to be told this most are also the people with the largest possible stake in continuing to believe that they didn't make a rather amusing mistake last November, so expect a whole lot of rationalizing out there. Coupled, as usual, with a healthy dollop of hysterical shrieking.

Mainstreaming the Duty of Clarity and Transparency as part of Good Administrative Practice in the EU
Language rights in the EU tend to be viewed in terms of the respect of national identity on the one hand and the clear and harmonised application of the internal market on the other. It is argued that an efficient language policy in the EU is one that reconciles respect for diversity with the need for effective communication. The use of specialist jargon in effect consolidates networks and power, of which there are two separate but related dimensions. The first is the external dimension of language, namely the lingua francaof deliberation, be it English, French, German, and so on. The second dimension refers to the use of élite codes, that is, language for 'insiders', which operates in spheres of politics, the law, economics, culture, medicine, and so on. It is the latter which the EU language rights régime has neglected. The absence of enabling provisions governing a duty of clear language renders democratic legitimacy intended by the former relatively meaningless. It is argued that the law can protect, facilitate, safeguard, and encourage clarity and transparency as part of good administrative practice. The duty to use language in a clear and comprehensible manner that has arisen in relation to producers in the EC law context of consumer rights is a useful case in point.

Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:01 AM)
Good morning everyone! Let's get right to your questions...
Ryan (San Francisco, CA)
In Head to Head leagues, is it a good idea to punt saves and focus on compiling a better group of starters that you can rotate into the lineup, then pick up the 2nd in line relievers where the 1st option is shaky towards the end of the draft?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:03 AM)
Not necessarily. I've seen head-to-head leagues where the smarter strategy is to load up on closers, avoid starters and then stream them in daily in order to maximize your counting stats (wins, K's). For me, though, I always take the approach of loading your lineup and taking the pitching bargains as they fall in the draft. Beat up on your opponent in five hitting categories and pitch your matchups right and trust me, you're going to be in great shape. I've done that for years with success.
Bill, D.C.
Is Longoria, Markakis, and Valverde too much to give up for Pujols and Hawpe in a dynasty league?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:05 AM)
Well, that's probably about what it'd take, and I don't really see Jose Valverde as any big loss since closers aren't the kinds of guys I build around traditionally in dynasty leagues. But I'd probably stand pat with what you've got, because I see fine careers ahead for Longoria and Markakis and I'd probably want a little more appealing guy back than Hawpe.
Dave (Tampa)
TC, In an auction draft can you get better value by bringing out the 3rd ranked player at a position (Jimmy Rollins) early, before 1 & 2 come out?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:06 AM)
Every auction is different, but what I can share with you is that in the LABR-NL experts league last weekend, Rollins was the third shortstop thrown out and he went for $40, almost as much as either Hanley or Reyes. So maybe you're onto something, though I'm sure that it'll be hit-or-miss from auction to auction. Frankly, I'd be less concerned about things like that than getting the best bargains I could wherever they fell.
Sedric (Baltimore, MD)
I am excited that TW has returned! Golf has slowly moved to the back burner while he was out with injury. It seems as if other players do not want to step into those shoes and lead golf.
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:07 AM)
I'm not a golf guy, I admit, but I actually did make an effort to watch Tiger play for that brief period last year. Great watching.
Josh (NYC)
In his chat yesterday Karabell mentioned he could easily see Chris Davis being a draft day bust, and went so far as to mention him in the same sentence as Josh Fields. Do you agree with ESPN's projections for him, and what's an appropriate round to take him in 10 team, mixed league? Thanks, Tristan.
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:09 AM)
I've got nothing against Eric's opinion, as I certainly respect it. To be fair, for as much as I've hyped Chris Davis -- chatters probably hate me for it by now -- I've also stressed that Eric's take is actually a possibility. I just choose to reside on the other end of that debate is all. We each pick and choose "our guys," and Davis is one of mine. I still say he has near-Ryan Howard raw power. Kid can hit bombs to any part of the field. I admire that a lot, and would be thinking him certainly in the seventh or eighth round, and just to note, part of that is his first-and-third base eligibility.
Joe (Minneapolis, MN)
What's the fantasy potential with Lars Anderson in Boston? Star? Above-average regular? And when do you think he'll arrive? Thanks
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:09 AM)
I'm a fan. Maybe not MVP candidate but certainly a reliable, solid regular with All-Star potential. Problem is I think it's 2010 before we're seriously discussing him. He's a reserve pick in AL-only redraft leagues at best this year.
Barack Obama (D.C.)
Will the Bulls win the NBA Championship in the next 5 years?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:10 AM)
I don't know. You signing up to play for them? You know, that whole "hope and change" thing...
Lee (Philly, PA)
Our auction league just expanded from 12 to 14. How should that change my bidding strategy? Thanks Tristan!
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:11 AM)
Well, for one thing, it should bring the overall dollar values slightly closer to a traditional AL- or NL-only league. Meaning those second-, third- and fourth-tier stars are the ones who bump up a couple bucks. You might also find that middle infield and catcher dry up a bit quicker, and just so you realize the math, 12 times two is 24, and 14 times two is 28, and there are 30 big-league teams in the game, and that means 30 full-time closers at most at any given time. Just something to think about, not that I'm telling you to go nuts bidding on closers, but it's going to change their values.
Cody Philly
THC, I know Berry is high on Choo, would you drop Gomez for him in a 10 team h2h league, if sb's aren't an issue. Thanks
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:13 AM)
Good, I'm glad someone is! Shin-Soo Choo is actually a bit underrated, kind of like Fred Lewis is in the NL. And yes, in that format, I'd absolutely do it. But I'm not at all a fan of Carlos Gomez's bat. It's his legs you buy him for, and that's not as valuable in a points league.
Joe (Boston)
Alexei Ramirez seems to be a most divisive player among the ESPN staff. Either he's being taken too high for such a free-swinger or he's about to break out in a huge way in the thin MI positions. What do you think he can do this year? Thanks!
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:15 AM)
I've probably said it other places, but for the record, my stance on Mr. Ramirez is that he could swing for the fences and hit 25-30 bombs, or he could shorten up and try to bat .290 again, but he is not going to do both. It means I think he's OK, but comes with a little risk, and therefore shouldn't be treated with any crazy approach like a top-50 player overall. Top-100, sure, especially with second-short eligibility, but he's not a guy I'll go nuts for.
Pelc, NYC
Does it pay to draft Buchholz or will he just not get many starts this year in Boston?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:16 AM)
Like Phil Hughes in New York, Buchholz appears to not be a factor in the rotation race right now, but I do think we will see both in those rotations at some point. Problem is, I can't draft either expecting more than, say, 15 starts, and even that might be a stretch. I'm going to advise you don't forget about either of these high-upside talents, but the bottom line is that they're final-round, reserve material for mixed at best. You can't make either a mainstay in your staff as things stand today.
Joe K (NY, NY)
I like the article ESPN came out with about Holliday and has made be a believer. Do I take him ahead of guys like Beltran, Berkman or Carlos Lee?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:18 AM)
Thanks, Joe, if it was our "30 Questions" piece then it was mine, so I appreciate the feedback. To me, Carlos Beltran is still very much a better pick. But I've actually got Holliday right in between Berkman and Lee in my rankings, two behind Berk, five ahead of Lee. So they're all pretty comparable to me.
Jeff (NY)
Where can I see a listing of the LABR-NL experts draft held last weekend? Will ESPN have a NL only draft posted before opening day?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:19 AM)
We can't release the full results of that draft right now, Jeff, unfortunately, but if you check my chat wrap from Tuesday, my roster is in there. As for NL drafts, yes, you should not worry, we will have one for you sooner than you think!
Sam (Topeka, Kansas)
Mornin' THC! Given their ADPs a couple rounds apart, who will give a better return on value: Greinke or Meche? Baker or Slowey? Nolasco or J. Johnson?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:20 AM)
I actually think Gil Meche gets a bad rap and deserves a higher ranking than he seems to be getting, but I'm still taking Zack Greinke first because right now they're comparable at the bare minimum, but Greinke has the much higher ceiling. With the others, it's Scott Baker for me, though that's so, so, so very close. And among the Marlins, I have Ricky Nolasco ranked higher, as I'm a believer in his talent and only doubt his ability to stay healthy. But I actually do like all these guys, they're all quite draft-worthy.
Roger (NM)
Tristan, which two or three players do you see as being the best values after pick 150?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:22 AM)
The first three names that come to mind that pretty much across the board go after pick 150 yet probably shouldn't are Brett Myers, Lastings Milledge and Billy Butler.
Tarr (Orlando)
Would you rather have Russell Martin for this year or Jay Bruce for the next two?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:23 AM)
Jay Bruce for the next two, but I'm really not a big Martin fan, seeing as the workload wore him down late last year. I'm not at all confident Joe Torre will manage him more carefully this year, either.
eddie (rochester, ny)
Who should i take with the last pick of my draft?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:24 AM)
The funniest final pick of any of my drafts was Pedro Cerrano. (And everyone here should know that name.) Seriously, though, that's going to be so random, the answer to that question. Carlos Villanueva is the first name that came to my mind if it's a mixed league.
Dan (Lexington, KY)
Hey Tristan, What is your favorite position to draft from in a snake-style draft. I hate picking back-to-back, as for some reason, I feel I get better talent when my draft position is near the middle of the pack.
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:25 AM)
Draft position doesn't matter all that much to me, but I agree with you about not being a fan of the bookend picks if only because it can trick you into thinking you must take one hitter and one pitcher each time your two turns come up. It takes a disciplined mind to regard those picks as individual turns in the draft that must be approached individually.
Kalter, NY
Any chance the Orioles decide to just start season with Wieters starting??
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:27 AM)
Sure, if he hits enough to force their hand. What I'd do if I was the Orioles is try to work a long-term (stress long) deal with Wieters, like the Rays did with Evan Longoria to take the "super-two" arbitration issue out of the equation. By the way, interesting note: Most people I talk to seem to think Longoria was up around June 1, the date I'm worried Wieters might stay in the minors until, but the truth is he was up the second or third week of April, and signed that deal days later. It just felt like the Rays kept him down forever, probably because of his late-season DL stint suppressing his number of games played.
Nate (Chicago)
What are some good prospects to pick up half way through the season before their a hot commodity?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:30 AM)
Let's take guys like Wieters and Price -- names you must know today and who might be up by Opening Day for all we know -- out of the equation. If we're talking guys who will assuredly not be on Opening Day rosters, then the next group I'd be most excited about are Brett Wallace (Cardinals 3B), Gordon Beckham (White Sox MI), Trevor Cahill (A's SP) and Mat Gamel (Brewers 3B). I'm not saying there aren't other good prospects out there, but those are "my guys" of the prospect bunch.
Rebecca (St Louis)
Who is closing for the Rockies? Street or Corpas? Thanks!
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:32 AM)
At the rate he's pitching Huston Street isn't going to be able to be trusted at all in the role. As I said in the blog yesterday, I think Street closes in Colorado if only to boost his trade value, but you need to be aware that at the rate he's pitching and dealing with health problems this spring, he's not going to hold onto it. It's a must-handcuff situation as things stand today.
Evan, NY
Would you rather have Alexei or Stephen Drew?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:33 AM)
Well, I have Alexei Ramirez rated about a round higher, but since I think he'll go earlier than my ranking, Stephen Drew is probably the better value comparative to his ADP. I also see him having the higher ceiling.
Brian ( Jax, Fl.)
What do you think of this trade? Chien-Ming Wang for Alex Gorden??
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:34 AM)
Do it. And I'm a Chien-Ming Wang fan, but his strongest category is wins, and I hate that category and won't build around it. In three years the owner that gave up Gordon will be kicking him or herself. A lot.
Jake (VA Beach)
No comment on ____'s death (leaving out the 24 spoiler)?! That said, Holliday or Beltran in H2H points?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:36 AM)
I didn't think it necessary to see ____'s face afterward, I can tell you that! I like this season but it's starting to get just a tad more gruesome than I'm used to. A little unsettling. And I had my questions about that particular thing I don't want to spoil, too. Anyway, with the outfielders, Carlos Beltran. I've got him ranked higher in mixed besides, but he also has more aspects of the game in which he can help you.
Mike (Indy)
Thoughts on Volstad for this year? Are we going to see more of what we saw last year?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:38 AM)
I wish I could quote you the specific statistic I had on him a couple weeks back, but it was something to the effect of among pitchers who recorded 250 or more outs in 2008, he put the largest number of balls in play and I think had an insanely low BABIP? Whatever it was exactly -- remember, I get only a few seconds to scan the brain for those tidbits -- Mr. Volstad is a huge balls-in-play guy, and those types need to be pitch perfect from turn to turn. I think he's a talented young starter with a fine future, but this is a year I'd be cautious and stay away. I want to see whether there's an adjustment period, because I fear there will be one.
Mark (MD)
Very, very, VERY deep NL-only, 5x5 league w/5 keepers. Is there any reason to consider keeping one of the following at my 5th keeper (my other 4 are easy ones): Randy Johnson at $11, Jonathan Sanchez at $3, Carlos Villanueva at $3 or Manny Corpas at $12.
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:39 AM)
In terms of value comparative to talent, I'd probably rank those guys Randy Johnson, Carlos Villanueva, Jonathan Sanchez, Manuel Corpas. Johnson, after all, is in a good situation to squeeze out one more productive fantasy season.
Greg (Atlanta)
Hey Tristan: Who's your favorite OF sleeper? Thanks pal!
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:41 AM)
I'll scan down the list, because different league types demand different depths of sleeper: Aforementioned Milledge, Adam Lind, aforementioned Choo, Ryan Spilborghs, Josh Anderson, Scott Hairston.
Matt (DC)
Hey Tristan, please answer my keeper question, I have a draft tomorrow, pick my final two keepers in a 6x6 head-to-head league; B.Phillips, Morneau, Quentin? Thanks.
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:42 AM)
I'd keep Brandon Phillips based on the position scarcity, and Justin Morneau based on his numbers.
Doug (Astoria, NY)
Can you name some pitchers that you are targeting late in drafts.
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:43 AM)
Again, different depths, so let's throw you a few I like: Manny Parra, Wandy Rodriguez, Sean Marshall, Frank Francisco, Anthony Reyes, Justin Masterson. Hope that helps!
Aaron (philly)
Any chance Dallas Mcpherson plays somewhere for the marlins this year and what might his numbers be if he does?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:45 AM)
I'd be stunned if McPherson doesn't get at least an at-bat for the Marlins this season, but to more accurately answer the question, I'm really not much of a fan, much like I'm not of Brandon Wood in Anaheim, either. They're whiff kings. Tell me all you want that both could be cheap 20-homer men. They'll probably both bat under .250 and cancel out any possible gain in the power department.
Dan (Lexington, KY)
Would your draft strategy change having OB% and quality starts as additional categories to the traditional 5X5?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:47 AM)
Dan, just as a tip, I don't think I'd ever have batting average and on-base percentage as categories in the same league. For me, it's traditional 5x5 or else sub out BA for OBP and SLG. Makes a lot more sense. And how do those impact things, as well as quality starts? Well, I bump up the value of good pitchers on bad teams -- think Jake Peavy, Matt Cain and Zack Greinke. I also bump up those walk men, like Adam Dunn, Jack Cust and Jason Giambi. Outside of that, no huge change.
Joe (AKRON)
TRISTAN - I've seen good things in Spring from Gordon Beckham. I know it's "only" Spring, but could take over at 2B ... or is it Getz's job this year?!?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:48 AM)
Are you repeating my comments from Tuesday's chat? I said the same thing. Was impressed, though to be fair, it was only one game. It's his approach to hitting that had me pleased. Anyway, I still think Beckham isn't in the 2009 discussion outside of a possible September cup of coffee, but I'll stress again that I think one year from today I'll be buzzing about him.
Mark, NY
IF Carpenter can stay healthy all year, what are the best stats we could expect out of him? Thanks.
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:50 AM)
Mark, I'll be totally frank with you. If Chris Carpenter can stay healthy all year, he could get Cy Young votes. It's the immense health risk that keeps him from being drafted as such, but as a $5-7 buy in an NL-only league, I'd be all in. Worst case you blew a handful of dollars on a guy who gave you 8-10 good starts before getting hurt. He's that risk/reward.
Steve (Denver)
Over/Under 20 Saves for Chris Perez
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:51 AM)
Over, but I'm a believer in raw talent, and managers not being so blind (or stupid) as not to recognize it in time to maximize it.
Dave (Tampa)
Can Brett Myers be trusted?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:52 AM)
I've got a thought for you, Dave, and it's just a thought: What if tasting success last October, and thereby gaining the Philly faithful's trust, is the best thing that could have happened to Myers? May I liken that a little bit to what happened with Eli Manning this past season? I could see a similar follow-up. In other words, not super-studly, but a solid, useful season. At the very least Myers did rattle off a solid second half of 2008. That bodes well.
Joe (AKRON)
Didn't read Tuesday's chat ... Rick Porcello. Does he have a good chance at making the starting rotation? I need a $1 rookie pitcher ...
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:54 AM)
I don't think so but it's also not a very deep rotation, so I can't tell you I'm ruling it out. More likely Porcello starts in the minors and is one of those exciting midseason call-ups. I could very much see that, him being up for a half-season. Don't draft him as anything more though, and even that might be pushing it.
Reggie (Orlando)
Keeper league question: Could you justify keeping B.J. Upton over A-Rod? Will you try at least? Thanks.
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:54 AM)
Yes. And I think that answers that pretty appropriately.
Jake Peavy (San Diego)
How many wins do I get this year, 25 right?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:54 AM)
Everyone's a comedian.
steve (ohio)
Still debating over keeping Miggy, Utley, or Braun in H2H points league. Miggy keeps 3B for this year then becomes only 1B eligible which is very deep. Utley has position scarcity but injury risks. Braun loses 3B but is a young stud. What would you do?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:55 AM)
Well, who can you keep? If I could have all of them, I'd keep all of them. If I had to rank them by overall value, it's Miguel Cabrera, Ryan Braun and then Chase Utley. Cabrera's offensive upside is too good to worry about his position, if that helps.
Tom (SF)
Should I trade Lincecum for Peavy and Qualls
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:56 AM)
I wouldn't, but on paper I bet there will be some people who will think that's a fair deal. I just see more 2009 downside in Jake Peavy than I do Tim Lincecum. Enough to have me give that a clear "no."
Eric (Boston, MA)
Top 5 players in a 5X5 15 team snake?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:57 AM)
This is my top 15 as it stands today: 1Albert Pujols 2Hanley Ramirez 3Jose Reyes 4David Wright 5Ryan Braun 6Grady Sizemore 7Miguel Cabrera 8Mark Teixeira 9Carlos Beltran 10Johan Santana 11Josh Hamilton 12Tim Lincecum 13Jimmy Rollins 14Chase Utley 15Lance Berkman
Mike Baltimore
I am getting offers for Andrus in a keeper league... have him at $3....should I trade him for Markakis $3 and Slowey $6
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:57 AM)
Without question, MIke, and I do understand you needing to ask it seeing as you wouldn't want to be taking Oriole bias into account!
Bob (NY)
What's your take on Ervin Santana? What round should we be thinking of taking him now that this elbow injury is in play? I was going to keep him but am really thinking twice now.
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:58 AM)
I kept him before news of that broke and am saddened today. I'd probably estimate his value at about 80-85 percent of what it would have been a month ago. I had him just outside my top 10 starters back then, but today I'd probably only call him keeper-worthy if the league as a whole kept more than 100 players total.
Dave (Tampa)
Do you think Seattle will move Morrow back into the bullpen? Over/under on 150 innings?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:59 AM)
I think it'd be foolish of any team to keep bumping a pitcher back and forth between the bullpen and rotation. Might that not be partly responsible for Morrow's recent health issues? I'm taking the under, though I wasn't ever all that much of a fan because of his high WHIP.
Alan (NY, NY)
Forgive me if you've already discussed this...why do you choose Pujols over HanRam?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (12:01 PM)
I feel like he's at his peak right now, is coming off a monster season that answered any question anyone could possibly have had about him and while I'm not especially worried about this, that there's at all a chance that Hanley's shift to the No. 3 hole in the order eats into his steals numbers or throws him off his game has me putting him a hair behind Pujols. That's all it is, and in no way could I fault anyone who wanted either of those guys No. 1 overall. They're pretty much interchangeable.
Brandt (DC)
how would you rank maine, marcum, maholm?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (12:01 PM)
John Maine, Paul Maholm, Shaun Marcum. I don't think we see much of Marcum this year.
Tim (Houston)
What's for Lunch TC?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (12:02 PM)
Eggplant parm. Mmmm. Getting hungry.
A-Rod (Vail, CO)
Don't forget me! I'll be back!
Tristan H. Cockcroft (12:02 PM)
Uhhhh, sorry A-Rod, you're definitely not a top-five pick now! And I'm growing increasingly terrified to pick you.
Chad (dc)
Do you think Jack Egbert (White Soxs) has a chance at making the opening day roster and making the rotation? Thanks.
Tristan H. Cockcroft (12:03 PM)
Well, last I checked he had a disappointing stint in Triple-A in 2008, so I think he begins the year repeating that level. I'm a little more skeptical about him today than I was a year ago, but I could see him being a midseason pickup for fantasy. I don't think he'll be on the Opening Day roster though.
Manny (L.A.)
What about me! I AM back!!
Tristan H. Cockcroft (12:04 PM)
Solid late-second, early-third pick.
Barack Obama (D.C.)
I'm Barack Obama, and I've approved this chat!
Tristan H. Cockcroft (12:04 PM)
Awesome! Well, with that, time to wrap things up for the day. Thank you for all your questions, and sorry if I couldn't get to yours ... always so many during spring training! Take care everyone, and best of luck to you in your drafts this weekend.

Express yourself don't repress yourself! Madonna causes controversy as she flashes during a performance in Istanbul
Last week Madonna was pictured covering up in an unflattering ensemble as she visited various historical landmarks in Turkey.
But on Thursday evening the singer shocked when she exposed her right breast to an audience of over 55,000 people during a performance of Human Nature at the Turk Telecom Arena in Istanbul.
Caught in the moment of the provocative 1995 hit's lyrics Madonna undressed herself much to the pleasure of her excited fans.

Don't repress yourself: Madonna flashed her right breast during a performance of Human Nature in Istanbul
The 53-year-old took to the stage wearing a white shirt and a pair of pin striped trousers with a cane in hand as she wore her blonde hair in an updo.
As she got into the song she threw her cane to one side and pulled open her shirt displaying a strapped bra top.
She then ripped off the first layer of her bra revealing her lacy lingerie.
Lost in the music: Madonna pulled her shirt open as she performed her 1995 hit
Giving them something to remember: The Girl Gone Wild singer ripped off part of her bra
In a few suggestive tugs she pulled at her bra straps before pulling the entire cup down and exposing her breast.
The Girl Gone Wild singer who last performed in Turkey almost 20 years ago then quickly turned from the audience, unzipped her trousers and stood with her hand in her pants.
Shortly after she zipped her trouser back up and began singing Like A Virgin.
Exposed: The 53-year-old showed off her bare nipple to the crowd of over 55,000 people
Gone all coy: The singer turned away from the crowd before unzipping her trousers
Madonna touched down in Turkey on Tuesday evening alongside her beau Brahim Zaibat, two of her children Rocco and Mercy, alongside an entourage of 200 people.
The pair were spotted looking every inch the happy couple as they walked down the stairs of the aircraft in Istanbul.
The next stop on Madonna's MDNA tour will be Rome where she will take to the stage at the
Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday evening.
Rome-ing around: Madonna was spotted sauntering around with her much younger boyfriend Brahim Zaibat ahead of her concert in the Italian capital

The Implementation of the Noise Control Act of 1972
Published: Apr 4, 1977. Publicly Released: Apr 4, 1977.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
The Federal Government's noise program has not been working smoothly. To date, only four noise emission standards have been issued under the Noise Control Act and these were many months late. Implementation of certain sections of the Act, such as labeling, technical assistance, and research coordination, has received low priority by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and therefore, not much has been accomplished in these areas. The administrator of EPA should direct that an overall strategy for the noise control program be prepared so that all provisions of the Noise Control Act are implemented in a balanced, coordinated manner. The overall noise program draft strategy that has been drafted and submitted for comment is a good first effort in the development of a unified, national effort to reduce noise pollution. This strategy should be finalized as soon as possible so the provisions in the 1972 Act can be implemented effectively. A coordinated joint effort between the EPA and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is necessary if any progress is to be made in abating aircraft noise. There is a fundamental difference in philosophy between the two agencies on how best to control aircraft noise and whether the actions taken have been effective.

Welcome to BucksMTB Club the home of Buckinghamshire mountain biking based in the Chiltern Hills.
BucksMTB caters for everything mountain biking in the Chilterns, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and beyond.
BucksMTB was first established in 2002 and is an officially registered and insured Mountain Bike Club who is affiliated to the CTC, BikeClub and Cycle Chilterns.
The return of our infamous Golden Ball Run Route. Just two people braved this c25 mile route in the heat, but DarrenC and MarkP reported back that it was great ride and a great route. Darren's enthusiasm (or Mark's poor directions) led to an extra 10k being added onto the route, but that was little hardship on such a great sunny day and it made the ice creams at the finish line that bit more tasty. The route flowed really well and only a couple of sharp climbs to get through over the whole distance. We were all surprised on the low turn out as this is normally a super popular route, so it would be great to get a larger group on this next time. This will definitely end up a regular route for future ride outs.
Mark Baylis and I (Darren Chappell) attended the Scott MTB Marathon series at Wantage at the weekend. It was a mostly dry day so the 45 mile route was dry and fast. The route was well sign posted with plenty of support to hand. Some of the sections were technical. Overall it was an excellent day and I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun well supported event.
Good club members run out today. Just the three of us, Mark, myself and a new member, Chris, who joined yesterday! Chris has a background in dirt jumping, so his air and style over the jumps was amazing and he was incredibly quick for a newbie to mountain biking. The trails at Swinley drain pretty quickly there was inevitably one very flat and heavily mud covered one that had us spinning along in about 8 inches of mud for about ten minutes! Only one pic from the day, but if you like your bikes then its a pretty good one!
We're apparently kindly known for putting on a good club trip, generally planned around riding, food and cake (you have to have priorities) but there was a new suggestion last year to take BucksMTB international, and where better to go than to southern Spain for some dusty technical summer riding!
Club member Mike Haynes heads our unofficial Staffordshire based office and kindly took on the role of organising this club trip. Mike suggested the Sierra MTB team in Fuengirola near Malaga as he had visited twice before. With a location and dates set word was sent round to see who was interested and the easyJet flights and accommodation was booked.Read more ...
Whilst part of the club was off on the Spain trip both Mark Baylis and I attended this years Uptonogood event in Upton near Didcot. We took on the 36 mile route which was very muddy in places. It was an excellent day out with superb views, the route was both very well sign posted and marshalled. There were live bands throughout the day along with ideal camping facilities as well. We will both definitely be taking part in it again next year.

You're talking to a guy who is up 3000% on his investment, do you know what a fool looks like?
I don't understand how the earnings are still negative, I bought into this stock believing they would soon go positive.
Sentiment: Buy
You pay your money and you take your chances...holding since 2010...
It's got a negative EPS. I don't understand how you guys can say it's fundamentals are good, I've been holding for over a year on the anticipation those earnings would swing positive.
I've heard if enough people flag the posts as abuse it will go away.
Did you notice Yahoo has change EPS to even?
