In the spirit of the season with Hispanic Heritage Month, let's take a look at the all-time best players of Latin descent for each of the American League teams.
Baltimore Orioles: Mike Cuellar of Cuba. Cuellar only had an eight-year run in Baltimore, and arrived well after he'd turned 30, but the O's saw a workhorse, and innings and wins are what they got. Cuellar became the first Latin pitcher to win the Cy Young Award when he split it with Denny McClain in 1969 -- his first year as an Oriole. He went on to notch 143 wins during his time in Baltimore, and also delivered WAR seasons worth 2.5 wins or more in five of his first six seasons.
Boston Red Sox: Pedro Martinez of the Dominican Republic. When you can count Manny Ramirez and Luis Tiant among the runners-up, you know you've got a full field, but three Cy Young awards and a career 2.52 ERA for the Red Sox over seven seasons during the age of injection-enabled offense puts Pedro on a plane all his own.
Chicago White Sox: Minnie Minoso of Cuba. In his various stints with the White Sox, the Cuban Comet managed to miss the team's lone pennant in 1959, but the vast majority of his career value (42.7 WAR) came from his the nine seasons in his first two incarnations with the Sox (1951-57, 1960-61); there were three more yet to come. There's room for an honorable mention for Venezuelan shortstop Luis Aparicio (31.5 WAR), but like Minoso, he spent chunks of his career in other unis.
Cleveland Indians: In another full field, you could pick Venezuela's Omar Vizquel or Mexican-American Mike Garcia; Garcia was a rotation regular for the 1950's Tribe, and he's a reasonable choice for the 32.4 WAR, 3.27 ERA and 142 wins he gave them. However, his value on the mound was essentially equal to Manny Ramirez's 32.8 WAR he produced with his bat in almost eight seasons with the Indians. Surprising nobody, Manny's WAR numbers go down when you count his defense, but that production at the plate puts the Dominican immigrant among the 10 most productive Indian bats of all time.
Detroit Tigers: It might be cause for surprise, but the Tigers are one of the very few teams from among the league's original eight who have yet to boast a long-term Latin star. Venezuela's Miguel Cabrera has only just become the franchise's first Latin player to accumulate 20 career WAR with the Kitties, and he still hasn't spent half of his career in Detroit. One man worthy of an honorable mention is Willie Hernandez, for his MVP- and Cy-winning 1984 season, but the Motor City was the Puerto Rican Hernandez's third stop, and his career didn't make it to the '90s.
Kansas City Royals: It's been so long since Carlos Beltran of Puerto Rico played for the Royals that you might forget he was almost every bit the MVP-caliber player there as he'd get more recognition for in Houston and New York. His 2003 season (7.3 WAR) rates among the 10 greatest seasons by a Royals position player, a list that has five different George Brett seasons and four other guys besides Beltran on it. Before the season, you might have wanted to lean towards Mexico' Joakim Soria, but a bumpy 2011 was enough for me to play wait and see.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim: The Angels' roster has been characterized by so much turnover historically that it's been hard for anyone to settle in and pile up big career totals as a Halo, something that only recently changed with Tim Salmon and Garret Anderson. So while Vladimir Guerrero of the Dominican Republic has played less than half of his career in Anaheim, he's pretty much by his lonesome for spending so much of his productive career there.
Minnesota Twins: One of the other reasons tabbing Vladi as an Angel was necessary is because Panama's Rod Carew did most of his damage during his long career with the Twins. If you remember the fleet-footed old man for his 3,000th hit at the end of his career back in 1985, you might remember him as an Angel, but more than 2,000 of those hits came hitting in the frosty confines of Minnesota's old Metropolitan Stadium, as unlikely a landing spot for a youngster from the Canal Zone as you might imagine.
New York Yankees: You might fidget over Lefty Gomez, who was Portuguese and Spanish on his father's side and all-Californian enough to merit the nickname "Goofy," and Dominican Alex Rodriguez and Puerto Rico's Jorge Posada would be easy choices in other organizations. But with almost 56 WAR contributed to one pinstriped contender after another, the man who has delivered the most career value is Panama's Mariano Rivera.
Oakland Athletics: It's important not to forget that Reggie Jackson claims Hispanic heritage on his mother's side, but the key player from the Big Green Machine of the '70s who deserves a shoutout here is Cuba's Bert Campaneris. With 649 career steals, Campy leads all Latin ballplayers while ranking 14th overall, and his 43.1 career WAR suggests how much value he added in the field as well as on the bases.
Seattle Mariners: Perhaps no player more perfectly captures Puerto Rico's complicated relationship with the United States than Edgar Martinez, who was born in New York City but grew up on the island. Whatever label you care to apply, anyone can take pride in the definitive DH's career after he hit .312/.418/.515 while producing 66.9 WAR at the plate.
Tampa Bay Rays: With an existence that doesn't even stretch back two full decades yet, it might be premature to tab an all-time great Latin Ray, but Dominicans Carlos Pena and Julio Lugo lead the pack of notables, with Cuba's Rolando Arrojo leading the pitchers.
Texas Rangers: Ivan Rodriguez's career may well be winding down, and he might be a decade removed from his last full season in Arlington, but Pudge has been the pride of Puerto Rico as the greatest position player in Rangers history, topping all Texas players with 48.6 WAR. He's long since punched his own ticket to Cooperstown.
Toronto Blue Jays: As one of the first franchises to truly invest in Dominican talent, it should come as no surprise that some of the best ballplayers in Blue Jays history came from the island: infielder Tony Fernandez, slugger George Bell and pitcher Juan Guzman. But the Jays also came away with a ton of talent from Puerto Rico, starting with Carlos Delgado and Roberto Alomar. If you go by WAR, it should be Delgado, but Alomar's Gold Glove-studded career as a fielder is one of the great causes for debate over the strengths and limitations of both scouting and statistical analysis of defense. For the purposes of this sort of exercise, let's give the new Hall of Famer his due and tab Alomar.
On Friday, we'll turn to the National League and give the 16 greats of those franchises their props.

Pieceful Creations began as a small hobby and grew into a full time, stay at home business for Tina Edgar. From 1998 to 2004 Pieceful Creations was dedicated to being a quilt and fabric online store but due to family life, we had to close our store for a few years, where I become a busy mother, with a volunteer job helping women and families in Cache Valley Utah.
During that time, I began an old hobby of knitting and crochet to de-stress and get out of the house a few times a week with friends. I quickly learned that I loved exploring the different fiber arts. I learned to spin my own yarn, dye it, knit, crochet, loom knit, and even taught a few classes, at local retreats.
Five years ago I began posting some of my patterns on Ravelry, with the hope that some day in the future I could do even more. Now is the time! Thank you to all my followers who have knitted some of my past designs and I hope you will enjoy the new ones as well as having the chance to learn new and exciting techniques and new ways of doing old well-loved yarn crafts! Welcome and may your tinks be few.....
Andrew Vivian with his cousin, Richard Trevithick was one of the first inventors of the steam locomotive. Vivian financed the production of the first steam carriage in March 1802.
The Vivian Travel Shawl celebrates the mystery and wonder of our steam-powered trains. The stripe pattern reminds some of the billowing smoke of the engine as it travels the land.
As the shawl grows from the neck down, the increase section mimics the endless railroad tracks that traverse through the country side.
The lace edging replicates the universal sign of a railroad crossing while the very loops of the edging are inspired by the train's wheels.
This shawl can also be knitted in a solid color, relying on the unique texture of the pattern to tell the story of the shawl. Enjoy!

2011 NFL Draft Grades, what the Green Bay Packers can do to earn an 'A'
Despite the 2011 NFL Draft being only a few hours away it's still unclear what many teams will do with their first round pick.
Which means that, since the Packers currently sit in the No. 32 spot on the draft board, it's unclear who will be available when they pick.
But that doesn't mean we can't have an idea.
So let's take a look at what would constitute an 'A' grade for the Packers, or worse.

Split personality pen
By BeachBum3668
from Floridian
Comments about Lamy Safari Ballpoint:
I truly love my Safari ballpoint. It is the single most comfortable, sturdy pen I've ever used. That being said, LAMY ink cartridges are the worst I've ever been forced to utilize. I've ordered them from all over the country and direct from LAMY USA and have never gotten one where the ink doesn't skip or clog. Terrific pen, unbelievably lousy ink.If only Levenger refills would work in a Safari pen all would be right in my world!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Thanks so much for your review. I'm delighted to know that you love our Lamy Safari Ballpoint, and that it is working out well for you. I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the Lamy Ink Refills. I will definitely forward your comments to our Product & Design Team about a Levenger refill that will fit that pen. Thanks again for you review, we appreciate the feedback.

Body OK, but ink skips
By easchust
from DE
The pen is comfortable to write with and I like the clip, but the ink skips or stops running all the time. At first I thought it was the newness of the pen, but I've been using it for a week with no improvement. I may look around to see if another manufacturer's refill will fit this pen.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention. Please dont hesitate to contact us directly, 1-800-544-0880 we have specialsts who are awaiting your call to discuss ink options.
Great pen
By JR
from Undisclosed
This is a wonderful pen - sure it is plastic, but very sturdy and writes well - fits great in my hand.
Very Poor Quality
By LadyRev
from Melville, New York
Pen cost $22 but body is made of cheap plastic which fits in your hand okay but ink skips or doesn't write after 3 or 4 uses! Not far for the price!!!!Pen clip is great for circa notebooks (it's the only quality part of the pen). Do not recommend to purchase!!!
Merchant response: Thank you for your review of the Lamy Safari Ballpoint. We apologize for the inconvenience this pen has caused for you. Your comments were forwarded to our Product and Design Team for further review. Levenger offers a 100% guarantee on our products and would like to make it right for you.

A fail-safe system on a jet that crashed in May, killing businessman Lewis Katz and six others, may have been overridden because the pilots did not follow proper takeoff procedures, Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has suggested in a letter to pilots and owners of its jets.
Under the system, the jet's throttle normally cannot be pushed above taxi speed unless the tail flaps are working freely. The throttle is supposed to be largely immobilized.
But Gulfstream cautioned in the letter, dated Monday, that the throttle nevertheless could be movable "if proper unlock procedures [for the tail flaps] are not followed."

TCR is Back on the Air
Well I'm sure there are some bugs, but as far as I can tell everything is functioning with one minor exception. That being under the "Our Writers" drop-down menu, the links for Arizona Phil's latest (also under AZ Phil's Corner), Cubnut's latest, Dr. Hecht's latest, etc currently aren't working. Some of the code is clashing with some other code and now they're waiting for the other to apologize. I should be able to fix it down the road, but it's not particulalry vital either for the site...at least not for the moment.
As for the upgrade, most of the new bells and whistles are behind-the-scenes, but they will appear around the site as the offseason progresses. The one change you will notice is in the comments. We've added something called AJAX comments, which is basically some cool javascript code that will now post your comments without having to refresh the whole page (although it doesn't seem to work for the first comment of a post if you click "Add New Comment"...shrug). That should save on some load times for everyone. You still need to refresh the article or go to the front page to see if anyone else has posted new comments, but all your postings will load right up at about half the time. So let's say you visit the site and there are a bunch of new comments and you want to reply to a couple of them. You can do that without having to refresh the page three times and losing your place. The one little bug in that is that the comment subjects get erased after the first reply, so if you guys can stay on top of filling that in I'd appreciate it. It's always better for other users using the flat view if you type in a unique comment subject anyway.
Anyway test some things out and let me know if you come across any bugs.
UPDATE: Also, the ability to add signatures to your comments has disappeared. This wasn't a decision on my part, rather the developer that created that functionality didn't update it for this version of the software. If I can find a suitable replacement, I'll install it.
UPDATE #2: One feature that was requested awhile back was a Return to Homepage link at the bottom of the comments so you don't have to scroll all the way back up. It's there now.

Muskat tweets:
Jake Fox hit first HR in fourth game Sat with Licey in DR; is batting .333 so far. Some AL team should consider this kid for DH/OF
Re: Muskat
I assume she is aware that Fox is still a Cub? If she is just a mouthpiece of the team that sure ain't a good sign for Fox being on the team next year. For all the teams problems I don't see why it's such a no-brainer to just get rid of Fox. I know Lou had him in the doghouse or was protecting his trade value from sliders or whatever but the guy is a cheap bat that can fill in for Aram or Soriano for league minimum. I think you hang on to that

I caught the Sporcle bug from you so I whipped up this quiz:
How many of the Cubs thirdbasemen between Santo and Ramirez can you name?
Re: TCR is Back on the Air
That is wicked
I only got 8
After the results were revealed I recognized about 10 more names. What a black hole.
I'll bet CF's of the last 10-20 years would be equally difficult
Re: TCR is Back on the Air
I've been...around.
Some of those names are never going to be guessed by anyone, I'd imagine, but some of them sure do bring back memories.
There are quite a few Cubs quizzes up already, but I'll try to get some more up over the next few weeks.
Re: TCR is Back on the Air
I may not be creative enough to make them, but they sure are fun.
And I just hope things are well.

Where's the Real Neal when we want some action?
Re: TCR is Back on the Air
Waiting for some actual Cubs news to comment on. I wouldn't mind Sammy Saito. With an excellent manager like Lou in the fold, I am sure there wouldn't be any clubhouse distractions.
Re: TCR is Back on the Air
"Saito, 39, does make sense for both teams"
that's a blockquoter if ever.
Hey, I'm old as shit, but I don't make sense for any team at that mother fucking age.
Re: TCR is Back on the Air
Rob, I'll echo others and say, whew! Nice to have you back. I would recommend a new Drupal developer, however. There are ways to set up staging (test) environments without kissing away a lot of advertising, which you've worked hard to get. But I also understand budget constraints, so no big deal. I see you still have a Ford ad on the right rail, so I guess all is good.
Re: TCR is Back on the Air
yeah, im sure the TCR corporate helicopter didn't go out to Martha's Vineyard this weekend.
Re: TCR is Back on the Air
I was just playing. I know how hard this shit is, and I think, Mr. Rob, you are kicking some serious ass. If you had Ricketts money it wouldn't be much better cuz web dev is harder than most people think.
Re: TCR is Back on the Air
I'm happy with the new updates. however, i have been noticing that as the number of those 3rd party boxes and stuff are growing on the main page, the time to load it up is also taking longer. too many thingamajigs and whatchamacallits. i'd consider removing those that aren't so critical.
and thanks for the return to homepage link. i've been lobbying for that for who knows how long.
So part of that is the upgrade. Rob has obviously upgraded to the new version of server software (called Drupal) and it is using a technology called AJAX. AJAX is this thing where when you type something in things change on the page. I'd get more detailed but, well, no point.
The other problem Rob is having is a part of his own success and I say let's be patient with that.
By that I mean, he's getting more ads. So the site is getting sluggish cuzza that.
The only real solution is to give Rob all your money, every penny, so he can Akaimize his ads.
My point is that the more Rob's site sucks, the more he needs the bucks. Maybe Bleeding Blue will stick a few bucks in to the cause.
i have been noticing that as the number of those 3rd party boxes and stuff are growing on the main page, the time to load it up is also taking longer
The ads are fine. I would hope TCR would be somewhat profitable considering the quality unique content that is provided regarding medical issues, the farm system, and general baseball expertise.
My only objection to ads would be IF they were racy (thus far they've been acceptable). I'd hate to have improper images show up on this site while I'm at work. I'm in the midwest (NE Indiana... the very red part of Indiana), so it doesn't take much for an image to be considered improper around here.
Not like in California where I imagine you pass marijuana around the workplace and fornicate openly.
Re: TCR is Back on the Air
Hey all--I'll be missing from TCR for a couple of days. I'm moving to California.
Re: People read my shit?
That's an upgrade. Nice going, Rob.

Why the Cubs may have been worried about Kosuke's core fitness:
MLB.com: This offseason, when do you start your workouts?
Fukudome: I will take two to three weeks off, and then start moving, like walking and more active things.
Re: TCR is Back on the Air
"I will take two to three weeks off, and then start moving, like walking and more active things."
That's my 81 year father's regimen after Thanksgiving.
Re: Why the Cubs may have been worried about Kosuke's core ...
That's awesome. He uses a Segway until then.
Don't Trade Milton Bradley
1. the guy can hit;
2. we need hits;
3. patience - it's bad karma to sign a headcase then abandon him because he's a headcase;
4. the law of averages is in our favor;
5. he'll bring more value in July.
Flame away, but the logic (other than the karma bit) is pretty solid.
Re: TCR is Back on the Air
Trade Bradley!
Re: Don't Trade Milton Bradley
I have a problem with #4...the Law of Averages does not apply to the Cubs.
Now That I Think About It
Don't trade anybody or sign anyone new. We all know the 2009 roster badly underperformed expectations. We all know there's not enough money to make a bunch of high profile questionable FA signings this off-season. We all know we're back to building for the future and waiting for some long-term heavy contracts to expire. So let's field exactly the same team and see whether 2009 was a fluke. Fielding the exact same team will automatically lower expectations so any success will already exceed 2009. Really, if you think about it, it's what's best for Cubs fans. No more spring fever and delusions of grandeur. We'll start the season already waiting for next year. No disappointments unless they actually do better. And if they actually do better. . .
Re: TCR is Back on the Air
I vote that we sign a bunch of mid-30 guys with questionable makeup or injury questions and just backload the hell out of their contracts.

A left-handed one...
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.

Leave Her to Heaven

Films in BOLD will Air on TCM * | VIEW TCMDb ENTRY
SYNOPSIS: Love and obsession lead to murder in this 1946 sun-drenched film noir, now considered one of Hollywood's most biting psychological dramas. Still mourning her beloved father's death, Ellen Berent (Gene Tierney) wins writer Richard Harland's (Cornel Wilde) sympathy and then his love. But instead of living happily ever after once they're married, her pathological jealousy leads her to fire the servants, kill his brother (Darryl Hickman) and finally abort her unborn child for fear it will steal some of her husband's love. Even in death, she tries to keep Richard in her clutches by making her suicide look like murder.
Although it received only mixed reviews when first released, contemporary critics now view Leave Her to Heaven as one of the most subversive movies from Hollywood's golden age. What starts as a romance turns into a murderous melodrama and the beautiful female star, Gene Tierney, reveals violent undercurrents. The dream of domesticity she shares with leading man Cornel Wilde, a dream shared by many men and women as World War II came to an end, becomes a nightmare as her neurotic possessiveness leads her to kill her husband's brother and induce a miscarriage of her unborn baby. In addition, John Stahl's direction and Tierney's performance have aged extremely well and are now considered among the best work in Hollywood history.
Leave Her to Heaven was 20th Century-Fox's top-grossing film of the '40s, a testament to a high level of artistry achieved by all involved and a reflection of changing audience tastes after the war's end.
Leon Shamroy's heavily saturated Technicolor photography, which seems to represent the murderous passions blazing beneath the leading lady's icy exterior, is considered one of the most innovate uses of the process in its day and has been a heavy influence on the use of color in the films of Douglas Sirk, Martin Scorsese and Todd Haynes.
Tierney's Ellen Berent is often hailed as her best performance. As her first film in Technicolor it also was the first to capture the beauty that would make her a major Hollywood star in the '40s.
Tierney's induced miscarriage in the movie marks the first on-screen abortion passed under the Production Code since stricter Code enforcement was established in 1934. Bette Davis' character in Beyond the Forest (1949) would do the same to her unborn child, but the screen handling would be more circumspect. Although later films would hint at abortion, the Production Code would not pass a film depicting abortion as a medical alternative to pregnancy until 1966, when it allowed Alfie to present a woman undergoing the procedure.
The California filming locations for Leave Her to Heaven included Bass Lake in the High Sierras, Monterey and Busch Gardens. They also shot Ellen's first meetings with Richard and her father's memorial in Flagstaff and Granite Dells, AZ. Although most of the lake scenes were shot in Busch Gardens, a unit did film some long shots and other backgrounds in Warm Springs, GA.
Leave Her to Heaven received four Oscar® nominations: Best Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction and Best Sound. Gene Tierney lost the Oscar® to Joan Crawford, who only pretended to be a murderer in Mildred Pierce (1945), but Leon Shamroy won for his Technicolor cinematography.

Ruslan Provodnikov is Ready For Tim Bradley Challenge
PHILADELPHIA, PA —WBO Number-two ranked Jr. Welterweight contender Ruslan Provodnikov would like an opportunity at WBO Welterweight champion Timothy Bradley in December.
There have been rumblings of a possible matchup for Provodnikov, 22-1 with fifteen knockouts of facing Bradley and he and his team feel the time is now for the potential big fight.
The native of Beryozovo, Russia is one of the most exciting fighters in the world and he feels that not only is he ready but will bring the best out of Bradley.
"I am ready for this type of fight", said Provodnikov
"I would be grateful for the opportunity and I have trained my whole life for this. Bradley is a great fighter but not only do I know I can win but I will bring the best out of him and our fight will be one to remember"
"We feel that Ruslan is ready for this fight and he will beat Bradley.", said Provodnikov's promoter Artie Pelullo of Banner Promotions.
"Based on all the feedback we get after Ruslan's fights, he is one of if not the most television friendly fighter out there and a fight with Bradley would be a great fight for the fans"
Provodnikov has won five straight bouts which includes his last outing when he stopped Jose Reynoso (16-3-1) on June 29th.

None of those things happened.
Drew McAllister is currently playing football as a safety on the USC Trojans. And he did get hurt. Twice. McAllister just recovered from back-to-back hip surgeries in the past year.
"A lot of people don't always come back from [surgery] so I think it was definitely hard on her not watching me play," he said.
McAllister's parents have since divorced, and Tracy still lives in the bay area, near McAllister's hometown of Danville, Calif. After each hip surgery, Tracy came down for a couple of weeks to tend to her son. Now, she can't wait to get to the Coliseum to watch her son put in the work on his own.
"I think it was tough for her at first, just getting used to the colors and the fight song and all that," he said. "[Now] she has all her USC gear and jerseys and comes to every game. She's a pretty loud fan."
The redshirt junior's eyes drift off when he talks about his mom. Brown, glossy pools. They sharpen when he gets back to the game, though, when he talks about why he's a Trojan. But the two subjects aren't mutually exclusive. He essentially plays for her.
"Certain qualities you learn from your parents but certain situations really show what people's character is," he said.
Qualities like mental tenacity he learned from Tracy. He's used it to progress in football, and most recently, to get over his injuries.
"Really not being able to play the game I love at full speed was really something hard, especially getting [surgery] done once and working as hard as I could day in-day out for six months and doing it all over again was really hard," he said. "But I think it made me stronger as a person and mentally."
Glimpses of that strength caused Pac-12 and Mountain West schools to recruit the then two-way player. At Monte Vista High School, McAllister started at quarterback as a sophomore. He maintained a 65 percent completion rate throwing all three years. Despite his clear capabilities on offense, McAllister enjoyed the physical nature on the other side of the ball.
"There's just nothing like playing defense. You're going after the other guys, on offense you're being chased, on defense you're doing the chasing," he said.
As a defensive back for the Trojans, McAllister made an impact when he was able. His first two years donning cardinal and gold, the free safety had 31 tackles and 3 picks. He loves playing the ball in the air and he loves clean tackles. He also loves knowing his mom will gleam every time he does either.
"I kind of take pride in everything I do, just everything, how I deal with situations how I interact with other people, how I approach everything. My mom is the same way," he said.
After the spring, McAllister is listed behind starter and leader of the secondary T.J. McDonald, but that spot comes with an asterisk: depth chart evaluation unavailable.
"I'm not too worried about who is starting who is not, it's really for me about getting myself prepared mentally and physically so that when it comes time for the ball I'll be ready to compete and lay it all out there," he said.
Nobody knows what level McAllister will compete at. He said he's close to 100 percent, and any remaining percentage will come through repetition and hard work. A reminder of a strong work ethic is just a phone call away. Tracy has had a full-time job and lived alone since McAllister can remember.
"I've always told myself that I want to get [to the NFL] so I can take care of her so she doesn't have to work anymore because she's worked my whole life."
An only child, Drew admitted he's a momma's boy, saying he doesn't think it's a bad thing. And if he can use that as motivation to come back from adversity, it will definitely be a good thing for this football team.

Crashes snarl local traffic
BERLIN Police responded to two separate two-vehicle crashes Friday both on the Barre-Montpelier Road.
One of the crashes happened just after noon; the other, just before 1:30 p.m., according to Officer Kyle Kapitanski of the Berlin police.
The first accident took place near the Berlin State Highway, and the second was near Windshield World, said Kapitanski.
The first crash resulted in significant damage to one vehicle and moderate damage to the second. One of the people in the accident may have suffered a minor injury, he said.
The second crash resulted in minor damage to both vehicles and no injuries.
No one from either accident was taken to a hospital by ambulance, Kapitanski said.
Traffic was heavier than normal on the Barre-Montpelier Road at the time of both crashes, due to a traffic-related incident that occurred in Barre City earlier in the day, a news release from the Berlin Police Department said. Traffic had since returned to normal flow, police said as of 3:30 p.m.
The accident in Barre, involving a truck striking power lines, led to North Main Street being temporarily closed to traffic in both directions, Barre police said.

Sin Rascalwolf aka the Blue Duke || The Great Sea
Age: 37
Position: Extended Family (Duke of Humilau, a destroyed duke-dom), cousin of Princess Misty, and serving as her personal guard, apart from the Kingdom's Knights.
Appearance: Sin Rascalwolf could be likened to a proud lion, both physically and figuratively. He is crowned with a thick blonde hair that he leaves uncombed. He has beady eyes that is colored to the gemstone called obsidian, a highly precious stone. He sports a thin stubble of facial hair, around his mouth. Sin stands at a height of six-foot-null. Though he could not be called as heavy-set, the muscle cuts around his body is evident because of the training he undergoes. His skin is deeply tanned.
During his reign as the Duke of his previous land, he is known to wear a deep-blue armor accentuated with a red cape when he is dealing with political matters in the kingdom. Some people's accounts tells of a rapier that is sheathed on his side, akin to many of the royalties of the world. However, when the Kingdom was destroyed and Sin fled to his cousin's domain, he shed the blue armor and cape. However, the color blue is still evident in his wardrobe. Nowadays, he wore a simple light armor, colored blue of course. He wraps a scarf around his neck, to prevent the cold, and hide some wounds. The rapier was nowhere to be found, but a long sword, colored deep-blue, is slung on a scabbard on his back.
History: Sin Rascalwolf was born of the Duke of Humilau, a faraway region, and Lady Violet, sister of Princess Misty's mother. His family was well-loved by their people. Sin grew up with the thought of inheriting the title of Duke and continuing what his father and forefathers started. His father prepared him by tutoring him in the arts of war, the intricacies of politics, general relationship with people, and Pokemon training. When Sin reached fifteen years, his father gave him his first Pokemon, a severely rare Pokemon that took quite a lot of money to buy. It was the water-type Oshawott. His father named it 'Seafarer,' and Sin was happy with him. He noticed that the Pokemon was colored differently than other Oshawotts he saw in texbooks.
Using Seafarer as his partner, Sin grew up, slowly becoming the young Duke. When he reached 24 years old, he was basically running the place, with his father simply as a figure-head. The Duke was happy with his son. Two years later, his father retired, and passed the title to Sin Rascalwolf. Duke Sin immediately put into actions all his plan he could not do until he had the title. Under his reign, Humilau experienced some kind of golden age. The townspeople loved him, Seafarer was growing strong, the trade between kingdoms increase. Sin Rascalwolf was dubbed as one of the greatest dukes to reign in the city.
However, everything changed when rogues started appearing during Sin's eight year of leadership. They took control of the landscape surrounding Humilau Kingdom. Soon enough, they grew in power that Sin is forced to deal with them. He never imagined that the rogues would be a powerful force and, by confronting them, he doomed his kingdom to the rogues. They overrun the place, and Sin was forced to flee with his people. He decided to go to his cousin's domain, in Goldenrod, and stayed there. The shame he felt in his inability to protect the town was too deep. He decided to remain as a Knight, without any noble powers, and protect Princess Misty. Sin Rascalwolf refuses to be called as part of the guards, more to be called as the captain of it being the protector of Misty. He's more like a volunteer, independent of any policies that may limit his movement and actions.
However, despite stripping himself of any political powers, Misty stills consider him as a political ally. Sometimes, she turns to Sin as a political adviser in matters of the kingdom.
Pokémon partner
Species: Samurott, nicknamed Seafarer
Appearance: Seafarer is a differently colored Samurott. He cannot be classified as a shiny Samurott, as shiny Samurotts have pink hair. However, Seafarer is just colored a deeper blue, and a dirtier white hair. One of its eyes is closed, a scar running on it.
Estimated level: 50

Sorry, ladies: Hollywood's most eligible bachelor with abs of steel may be off the market.
Ryan Gosling enjoyed a casual date with Eva Mendes at Disneyland's California Adventure Park in Anaheim, Calif., on Saturday. The pair spent the day holding hands and getting cozy well into the night.
"They looked relaxed and seemed to be having a fun time together," an eyewitness tells PEOPLE. "Like a dating couple, they always walked very closely, holding hands and their arms touching side-by-side."
After enjoying some pink cotton candy and popcorn, Gosling, 30, and Mendes, 37, had a blast climbing aboard the amusement park's rides like Ariel's Undersea Adventure ride and the 4D Toy Story Mania ride. The pair also watched the World of Color Spectacular water show and later spotted at Disney's Tomorrowland around 10 p.m., holding hands again.
"Ryan seemed to pay a lot of attention to her," says the onlooker. "He would glance over and look her in the face as they walked through the crowds making sure she was okay."
The two, who recently filmed the drama The Place Beyond the Pines together, are taking their onscreen romance off camera.
"Ryan and Eva have spent a lot of time together on set," says a source. "They have great chemistry and seem to enjoy filming together. They seem to be good friends and always laugh together."

GREENVILLE -- General Electric Co., the world's largest wind-turbine manufacturer, "is quite interested" in Clemson University's future offshore wind-turbine lab in North Charleston, Jeffrey Immelt, the company's president and chief executive officer, said Tuesday.
Lots of good news
Riley's Outlook: Mayor says city, area poised to be a leader in future economy, published 12/9/09Boeing: Thousands turn out to hear construction needs for new plant, published 12/9/09
But Immelt stopped short of saying whether the company plans to build a plant nearby.
"We just need to see how (the turbine test facility) evolves," Immelt told reporters before speaking to state business leaders during an energy symposium at Clemson's International Center for Automotive Research.
Last month, the Department of Energy selected Clemson's Restoration Institute in North Charleston as the site of a new $98 million test lab for large offshore wind turbines.
Since the announcement, speculation has grown that GE might team up with Clemson, as BMW did in Greenville at Clemson's ICAR. Immelt's visit Tuesday added fuel to that possibility.
Before speaking to reporters, Immelt met at length with Clemson President James Barker and other officials working on the new wind lab at the former Navy base.
Afterward, Barker told The Post and Courier they discussed the potential of offshore wind power. He said that GE seems genuinely interested in a partnership with Clemson in North Charleston, but how that partnership develops and whether it includes a manufacturing component "has yet to be defined."
During the symposium's keynote speech, Immelt said GE is moving forward aggressively with green technology, which he said could generate "a technological renaissance that could reshape the country."
He said the country needs to move forward quickly, though, because China, India and Europe already have moved into renewable energy, nuclear power and other non-carbon-emitting industries. Millions of jobs are at stake. "If we don't get off our butts and get more aggressive" in these fields, he said those jobs will go overseas.
Immelt also had strong words about people who shrug off global warming as a left-wing conspiracy.
"This should not be a source of national controversy," he said, adding that he thinks that global warming is real and that man plays a role. But he said "no matter what your position on global warming," the debate over clean energy can be framed more simply by focusing on its potential to reduce pollution, generate jobs and increase the nation's energy security.
Immelt said his company has moved aggressively into the alternative energy field. In 2002, when the company entered the wind-power business, it was the seventh-largest in the world. Today, he said, GE is the world's largest wind-turbine maker. Some of that work is done in Greenville, where GE has a plant that employs more than 3,100 people and buys about $1 billion in supplies.
Immelt said Europe is expected to build 30 gigawatts of wind power in the next decade. (In South Carolina, one gigawatt typically can power 500,000 homes.) He said that GE hopes to grab a third of the European business, and that "we're going to do some of that in Europe, but we're going to do some here. ... There will be thousands of jobs in the offshore wind-supply chain in the U.S. that will export to Europe. That's how jobs get created."
Asked specifically about a future plant in North Charleston, Immelt said GE plans to work closely with Clemson and South Carolina "as it develops the site. We are long in wind energy, and you never know where that will go. We have no specific plans, but we are quite excited about what the potential can be."
Clemson's proposal for a wind-turbine test lab bested others from Michigan, Pennsylvania and several other states. During a visit to ICAR last week, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said Clemson's proposal came out on top because of a strong management plan, North Charleston's port facilities and a generous state and local match.
The Department of Energy is putting up $45 million in federal stimulus money, with state agencies, private individuals and companies providing the remaining $53 million. The facility will be used to test giant offshore wind turbines that energy experts say are needed to bring down the costs of wind power. These turbines have yet to be made but could generate 15 megawatts of electricity apiece when running full tilt, enough to power 7,500 homes.
State leaders and economic development officials hope the test lab will help attract manufacturing plants to form a wind-power industrial cluster. They said East Coast cities, such as Charleston and North Charleston, are well positioned because these turbines are so massive that factories likely will have to be located near port facilities.
Immelt, who has a second home on Kiawah Island, said the company's plant in Greenville, which has a strong emphasis on exports, "can be a model for what can be created across the state and the country."

FORT WORTH (AP) - Six performers out of 90 will move on to the finals of the International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs.
The winner of the contest, which features performers from nine countries, will be named Sunday at Texas Christian University.
The competition is sponsored by the Van Cliburn Foundation, the same organization that runs the prestigious Van Cliburn International Piano Competition every four years.
This is the first time amateurs have competed. Only those 30 or older who are not professional pianists or piano teachers could participate. The headline event usually includes pianists younger than 30 who are on the path of a musical career.
The top prize is $2,000, regular seats at the main Van Cliburn competition and a chance to play with an orchestra in Paris sometime before 2005.
The finalists are Luiz Benedini, a Brazilian ambassador from Miami; Paul Doerrfeld, an office manager from Algonquin, Ill.; Michael Kimmelman, an art critic from New York; Philippe Loilier, a biologist from France; Joel Holoubek, a coin dealer from France; and Alexandre Bodak, a physician from France.

It's become a rule of modern life at Starbucks that along with your grande latte, you'll also be getting a hilariously butchered version of your name. For all those overworked and tired baristas, we really are sorry and we appreciate your struggle, but these accidental monikers are way too funny to ignore.
"Brooke." Then again, maybe they were just making unsolicited assumptions about her financial state.
We think that's "Margot." We really hope that's "Margot."
Admittedly a toughie: This woman's name was "Lyndall."
Maybe the barista was just a big "Super Mario Brothers" fan.
Poor Heidi. It's enough to make her want to run and Heid.
That's just a mean thing to call someone.
Followed by "Cosindy." And … tangent-something. (Is there a name that you can make into a "tangent" pun?)
Becky's a real beast.
