3 Women is a 1977 American film written and directed by Robert Altman, and starring Shelley Duvall, Sissy Spacek and Janice Rule.
It depicts the increasingly bizarre, mysterious relationship between a woman (Duvall) and her roommate and co-worker (Spacek) in a dusty, underpopulated Californian desert town. The story came directly from a dream Altman had, which he did not fully understand but adapted into a treatment, intending to film without a script. 20th Century Fox financed the project on the basis of Altman's reputation. A script was completed before filming, although, as with most Altman films, the script was primarily a rough guideline for what emerged during production.
Roger Ebert named 3 Women the best film of 1977.
For 27 years, the film was unavailable on home video. It gained the reputation of a cult film after frequent broadcasts on television in the 1980s and 1990s. The film was finally released on DVD in 2004 by The Criterion Collection, with a feature-length commentary by Altman. In 2011, it was released on Blu-ray, also by Criterion.
Pinky Rose (Sissy Spacek), a timid and awkward young woman, begins a job at a health spa for the elderly in a small California desert town. There, she becomes enamored of Millie Lammoreaux (Shelley Duvall), a confident and talkative employee. Both natives of Texas, the two begin to develop a friendship and, in spite of their stark personality differences, decide to become roommates. Pinky moves in with Millie at the Purple Sage Apartments, owned by a has-been cowboy, Edgar Hart, and his wife Willie (Janice Rule), a mysterious pregnant woman who paints striking and unsettling murals.
Millie takes Pinky along on her evening visits to Dodge City, a local tavern and shooting range also owned by Willie, where Millie talks incessantly. Tensions begin to rise between Pinky and Millie over their living situation; one night, when Millie prepares a dinner party for friends who fail to show up, she gets into a fight with Pinky and leaves the apartment, only to return with a drunk Edgar, and the two have sex. Pinky, distraught, jumps off the apartment balcony into the swimming pool.
Pinky survives the attempt but goes into a coma. Millie, feeling responsible, begins to visit Pinky daily. When Pinky still doesn't wake up, Millie contacts and invites Pinky's parents in Texas to see if their presence will awaken her. She wakes up, but doesn't recognize her parents and furiously demands that they leave. Once sent home to live with Millie again, Pinky begins to exhibit increasingly uncharacteristic behaviors— she begins drinking and smoking, has an affair with Edgar, and spends her time at the shooting range, just as Millie had.
Millie becomes increasingly frustrated by Pinky's imitative shift in personality, and begins to exhibit Pinky's timid and submissive personality herself. One night after Pinky has a bad dream (represented through an abstract montage of Millie crying and Willie's bizarre murals), a drunk Edgar enters their apartment and awakens them, telling them that Willie is about to give birth. The two drive to Edgar and Willie's farmhouse, where Willie is alone and in labor. Her baby is stillborn.
The film ends with Pinky and Millie, who are now working at Dodge City; a delivery vendor at the tavern refers to Edgar's "gun accident" when talking to Millie, who seems unaffected by it. Pinky appears to have reverted to her childlike timidity; she refers to Millie as her mother. Pinky and Millie leave the tavern and walk to Willie's farmhouse, where the three begin to prepare dinner together.
Cast notes
- Duvall plays Mildred "Millie" Lammoreaux, a woman who is very confident of her personal charisma, and her attractiveness to men in particular, despite the fact that the men she hits on openly mock her. In the director's commentary on the Criterion edition, Altman states that Duvall was responsible for creating her character's diary entries, recipes, and much of her dialog in the film. Spacek plays Pinky Rose, a naïve, childlike woman, who refuses to talk about her past and who initially idolizes Duvall's character, but eventually comes to dominate her. They both work at a physical therapy facility, and much of the film takes place at their apartment building, where the third woman, Willie Hart, played by Janice Rule, creates striking and somewhat unsettling murals.
The paintings of Willie Hart were created by artist Bodhi Wind.
Film critic Roger Ebert reviewed 3 Women in 2004 in connection with his list of "Great Movies", and called it "Robert Altman's 1977 masterpiece".[2]
Awards and honors[edit]
Shelley Duvall won the award for Best Actress at the 1977 Cannes Film Festival for her performance, and from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. Sissy Spacek won the Best Supporting Actress award from the New York Film Critics Circle.[3]
Home media[edit]
For years, the film was not available in home video in any form. This was alleged to be due to music rights; reportedly, the distributors of Altman's films Images, California Split, 3 Women, and Health had not negotiated music rights for home video release of the films, and, due to their relative obscurity, they were never expected to be released.
3 Women was the first of these films to be released when The Criterion Collection licensed the rights from 20th Century Fox. The DVD includes an anamorphic transfer in the correct 2.35:1 aspect ratio and a commentary track by Robert Altman.
The film was released on Blu-ray on September 13, 2011.

The congregation of a 112-year-old United Methodist Church in Wormleysburg will disband on Sunday and donate its building to a local Assembly of God church.
Officials of St. Paul's United Methodist Church will sign over their building at 32 S. Front St. to Cornerstone Fellowship Assembly of God during Cornerstone's 10:30 a.m. service at St. Paul's. A reception will follow the service.
"This is an act of extreme generosity and Christian charity," said the Rev. Rich Cline, Cornerstone's pastor. "It's an amazing thing to be given a church."
Cornerstone has rented space in St. Paul's for eight years, Cline said. He said his congregation plans to renovate the church's auditorium.
St. Paul's United Methodist Church was established in 1900. Church officials said the congregation disbanded because of a declining congregation, financial pressure and competition from other ministries.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama – Those wanting to show their support to the kids of those deployed will have their chance by wearing purple on Friday, April 13, a day designated as the 2nd annual "Purple Up! For Military Kids."
Purple Up day is the highlight of the month-long celebration of April as the "Month of the Military Child," a time to honor children nationwide impacted by deployment of fathers, mothers and other family members to Afghanistan and other overseas assignments.
OMK encourages everyone wear purple on Friday, 13 April, as a visible way to show support and thank military children for their strength and sacrifices. An OMK release says purple is the color that symbolizes all branches of the military, being the combination of Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Navy blue, and Marine Corps red.
Alabama became an OMK state in 2008, and seeks to offer services and support to the thousands of youth of the state's deployed and returning military personnel.
"We largely partner with the state's 4-H clubs and we offer events, activities and camps which are largely free to the children of deployed military personnel," said Rachel Simpson, Alabama OMK coordinator.
OMK strives to provide a Hero Pack to each child of a deploying parent or guardian at the time of deployment. These packs contain books, journals, a cuddly stuffed animal, and other items for the child based on his or her age. Companies donate items for these packs in recognition that "kids also serve".
"They're usually filled by non-military children, and contain elements of support to these children, like a stuffed animal, and we often include a small disposable camera so children can take pictures and send to their deployed parents or siblings," Simpson said.
Alabama OMK partners include the State of Alabama Board of Education, the Office of the Governor of Alabama, Alabama National Guard, the American Legion, Alabama Childcare Resource Network, The Boys and Girls Club, Children's Hospital of Birmingham, the School of Nursing for the University of Alabama, Army Reserve Child and Youth Services, Delta Company of Auburn University Navy ROTC, and Alabama 4-H.

He remembers wearing Ralph Lauren shirts to work at a chicken joint in his hometown of Allegan when he was 16 and a few grease splatters were the price he paid to be on the cutting edge of fashion.
Today, an entire bedroom of his Ada home is devoted to his wardrobe, where the labels read like a catalogue of designer Who's Who.
He knows he's not the only man in West Michigan who loves clothes.
Martin, with partner Barri Bevan serving as manager, opened George's, a consignment clothing store for men at 527 Ada Drive SE, earlier this month.
The 1,500-square-foot store sells name-brand men's clothing, shoes and accessories such as Calvin Klein, Giorgio Armani, Brooks Brothers, Ermenegildo Zenga and John Varvatos.
"I haven't always had the money to buy the quality designer clothes," said Martin, 48, vice president and general manager of Great Lakes Community Directories.
"Finally men have an option to buy high-end clothes at fantastic deals."
A few deals: A barely worn, custom-made sportcoat by Oxford Clothing that retailed for around $4,500 has a price tag of $450. A new leather bomber jacket with the original $1,000 price tag still on it can be had for $235, and a hand-made Borrelli sea-island cotton dress shirt that fetched $395 new is $120.
Consignment stores exclusively for men can be found in larger cities such as Chicago, Phoenix and San Francisco. In West Michigan, consignment clothing for men is typically relegated to a back corner of women's stores.
Martin said most customers so far have been women shopping for their husbands, boyfriends and fathers, but he's already doing brisk business among men who drop off their clothing to sell.
One man came in recently to drop off several pieces, Martin said, and browsed the store while Martin checked out his items.
"By the time he left he bought a two-year-old Hugo Boss suit for $229 and a dress shirt, and he was tickled pink."

Aviation photographer Moose Peterson, along with Minot pilot Warren Pietsch, is telling the story of the Texas Flying Legends Museum warbirds and the Dakota Territory Air Museum in Minot.
Peterson and his wife, Sharon, of Mammoth Lakes, Calif., have been in Minot for several days where Moose has been photographing the warbirds and other activities for articles for aviation magazines.
A well known worldwide wildlife photographer and author, Moose added aviation photography to his work. The Petersons, who have made previous trips to the city, arrived in Minot Saturday from Alaska for several days of photography and interviews here.

From the left, aviation photographer Moose Peterson, his wife Sharon, and Minot pilots Warren Pietsch and Derek Peterson are shown in front of Little Horse, a P-51. The Petersons spent several days in Minot where Moose Peterson has been photographing warbirds of the Texas Flying Legends Museum and activities of the Dakota Territory Air Museum.
"Warren Pietsch and Pietsch Aviation along with the Texas Flying Legends Museum and Dakota Territory Air Musuem are a treasure trove of aviation heritage," Moose said, in an interview at Pietsch Aircraft Restoration & Repair Tuesday afternoon. "There's a lot here that not only covers just aviation in general but North Dakota so we're doing all those things."
He said it was the right time to be here because "North Dakota's gorgeous and right now having great clouds, it was a good time to come back."
That Tuesday afternoon the Petersons were waiting for another very historic aircraft a Howard 500 to fly into Minot Tuesday afternoon. The Howard 500 was an American executive aircraft produced by Howard Aero Inc.
Moose said the Howard 500 is very fast and very luxurious. "When you see it, it's just stunning," he said.
While in Minot, Moose said they met Don Rolf, a 92-year-old World War II veterans from Las Vegas, Nev., who had flown a 1931 Waco in Southern California. Pietsch has that plane.
Pietsch reintroduced Rolf to the plane that he flew in as a youth. "Warren gave him a ride and we're doing a story on that plane," Moose said.
"We listened to his (Rolf's) great stories an amazing World War II vet and former pilot. We got a story, took a formal portrait of him with the plane inside a 1929 hangar. That's just one of the fun things we've done," Moose said.
Moose's work in Minot and area will be going to aviation magazines EAA Vintage, EAA Warbirds and FlyPast. "Those are three magazines at the moment," he said, later adding Classic Wings, an Australian magazine.
The cover of EAA Warbirds' April edition featured Moose's photo of four of the Texas Flying Legends Museum's warbirds in flight. Moose said he and their youngest son did a joint piece about the Texas Flying Legends Museum for the magazine.
On Monday, Moose had the opportunity to shoot warbird photos with North Dakota's "gorgeous clouds," as he calls them, on a flight between Minot and Grand Forks for the Grand Forks International Airport's 50th anniversary celebration.
"One of the things that Warren and I like to work on is the fact that we're not just taking pretty plane pictures but actually putting them in historic perspective," Moose said. With the Zero and the Wildcat both being Pacific fighters and having them with big, fluffy clouds typical of the South Pacific, they look historically accurate, Moose said.
"We try to make it look like you've seen in the old black and whites but just put today's technology to the story," Moose said. "They're not just pretty pictures but they're actually storytelling of that period of time."
They set up a sunset scene Sunday night depicting Joe Foss, the famous World War II Marine fighter ace who flew the Wildcat. Foss, who died in 2003, also was governor of South Dakota.
Derek "Cruise" Peterson, a Minot pilot, "who is no relation," Moose noted, participated in the photography shoot. "We put him in an actual World War II flight suit, parachute and we did a sunset shoot with him so it looks like Joe. That goes in the piece as well," Moose said.
"The Dakota Territory Air Museum has a treasure trove of authentic material from then that we used as props, and it's all part of telling the story. And we had great clouds like a South Pacific island. It was perfect," he said.
"That what we do we fly, we take pictures, tell stories," Moose added.
Sharon Peterson is the business manager of the Peterson team. "And a passionate flier. She likes to fly more than I do," Moose said.
Moose said that he and Pietsch met through a mutual friend Bob Odegaard, a pilot from Kindred. "Bob worked his magic... It's kind of a small community when you get into historic aircraft and education and preservation," Moose said.
Moose anticipates his first story of the several he's working on now will come out in about December and will probably be in the FlyPast magazine. FlyPast is considered Britain's biggest selling monthly aviation magazine, and is internationally renowned for its comprehensive coverage of historic aircraft and flying heritage, according to its website.
He said the stories about the older planes will be published in 2015.
The Petersons have made previous visits to Minot including for the dedication of the Flying Legends Hangar at the air museum on July 4, 2013. They expect to be returning to Minot for future work.
Of the air museum in Minot, Moose said, "It's a great one. I think what is so neat about this one is such a connection to the community and the state and the size. It's not giant like the Smithsonian (in Washington, D.C.) but there's a real hometown connection. That's very unique. Most museums are just planes there's not a connection to a community with their state like there is here."
"This has flying aircraft here so it's very unique," he added.

The Devils' power play finished 2-for-5 in the triumph over the Flyers Sunday night, with goals from Patrik Elias and Zach Parise.
They have four power play goals in three games.
"We're excited about it. I think the fans are excited about it now when we get a power play," Parise said. "Even when we're not scoring, we're getting great opportunities. We're getting really good puck possession and that's a big difference. Whether you're scoring or not, you can get some good setup time and feel good about it. Everyone's got a little extra patience. It looks really good right now."
* * *
Marek Zidlicky's assist (on Parise's goal) gave the defenseman points in three straight games (1-3-4).
Ilya Kovalchuk, who assisted on the Elias PPG, finished with a goal and two assists. He has 11 points (five goals, six assists) in seven games.
* * *
This is a strange stretch for the Devils, with three games against the Islanders and two against the Flyers.
"We're doing a good job. We're matching up well," Parise said. "We're correcting mistakes we make the first time playing the team. So we'll make sure we're on top of our game in Philadelphia (Tuesday night)."

Goalie Martin Brodeur took his 650th career win in stride.
"They're definitely numbers now. I think when you beat a record, like I did a few years back, after that it's kind of all gravy," he said. "This was my 25th win this season, which I was trying to get to mentally just to go forward. They're small goals I have, so I'm happy to achieve that.
"Six-fifty is a round number"
A number coach Pete DeBoer can't comprehend.
"It's an amazing number," DeBoer said. "I don't have the words to do that justice, that type of body of work."
Brodeur posted his 552nd career win to pass Patrick Roy on the all-time list March 17, 2009.

Hanjin opposed Ashley Furniture's motion for a freeze on the amounts it owes the carrier, along with a reduction in the amounts owed, saying in a court filing that if the motion was granted, its ability to reorganize would have been severely jeopardized.
The U.S. District Bankruptcy Court in Newark, N.J. will hear from companies today that said Hanjin is not "promptly" informing creditors when ships go off charter.
Thomson Reuters global trade management business, ONESOURCE Global Trade, conducted its second annual Global Trade Survey, shedding light on trends and challenges faced by trade experts and multinationals alike.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Peak season capacity took a major hit in third quarter 2016 as carriers scrambled to replace services interrupted by Hanjin Shipping's Aug. 31 bankruptcy announcement.
Patrik Berglund, chief executive officer of Oslo-based ocean freight rate intelligence platform Xeneta, said Hanjin Shipping's insolvency has "turned the market on its head," but the real question is "how long will this last?"
The Danish conglomerate said one division will focus on transport and logistics, while the other division will focus on energy.

8/1 – Yankees at White Sox
Happy August! Here are the updates from U.S. Cellular Field as the Yankees and White Sox get ready to play the third game of this four-game series:
A little bit of a strange lineup today, with Jerry Hairston, Jr. in left field and Cody Ransom at first base. Mark Teixeira is serving as the DH, and as he said in Spring Training, he doesn't like to get full days off. This is about as close as Tex wants to be to getting some rest, and with Monday's off-day, he'll get two of the next three days with limited duty.
Alex Rodriguez will either DH or take a full day off tomorrow. Joe Girardi said he used Ransom because he wanted to get as many right-handed hitters in the lineup as possible against John Danks.
To make room for Hairston (wearing No. 17), the Yankees had to option Shelley Duncan back to Triple-A. Duncan said he was thankful for the callup and that he'll keep working. Maybe we'll see him in September now that he's back on the 40-man roster.
The Yankees are shuffling their upcoming pitching, as part of the developing plan with Joba Chamberlain (and also a little bit of a reaction to last night's three-inning start from Sergio Mitre). It now sequences:
Tuesday @ Toronto: Andy Pettitte
Wednesday @ Toronto: Sergio Mitre
Thursday vs. Boston: Joba Chamberlain
Friday vs. Boston: A.J. Burnett
Saturday vs. Boston: CC Sabathia
Sunday vs. Boston: Andy Pettitte

Matty: Since you are the only guy I know that enters a battle of wits totally unarmed, let me say this as plainly as I can. Grow up.
Character assassination is not baseball analysis, nor is it talent assessment. It is, however, midly entertaining if you remember to consider the source when reading these rants.
Matty, If I could be certain that every time I blogged here, it would upset you, I would flood this zone. Because thinking about you being upset all of the time? Well, that's priceless!
Tell me matty who is responsible for the slim pickings at the minor league level? Answer = IDIOT GM. Who kept Ian Kennedy who supposedly was major league ready instead of trading for Santana? Answer = IDIOT GM. Why isn't the IDIOT GM held accountable for the studipity called its minor league system? As I have said before you cannot tell me that some 5th starter could not have been gotten to help this team. The Yankees IDIOT GM matty had NO clue on how to get it done. I'm with Todd E. on this one.
And Girardi was given Hinske for a reason to Friggin play why the FU*K is Ransom in there?
Girardi should be taken into Right Field and Friggin skinned alive right after Crashman. Then Levine in Left field and let the Fans stone him to Death he is another Friggin Loafer Boy who knows NOTHING about Baseball!!
Jeez really now anyone who thinks this team is going anywhere this year is NUTS! yea NUTS, How when they HAVE NOT BEAT A Good baseball team.
I guess we all can hope but that only takes us so FAR!
Hey, where's Todd E? hope he hasn't been suspended from this blog. Loved his humor and controversial comments.

I'm here I just really have nothing to friggin say!!!
This team is just proving what I ahve been saying all year… They can't play GOOD teams. Yea beat up all the Crap all you want but the better hitting, pitching teams the Yankees show their TRUE Colors. FRACKING PINK!!!!!
Crashman should be taken out into Center Field and SKINNED ALIVE!! Douchbag!! yea we all know we needed pitching and he did NOTHING! Why, well becvause he has neglected the farm system and have nobody to trade. Washburn was a NO-BRAINER but no friggin Crashman stays on the Crapper reading Boys Life instead of doing his friggin job.
Everyday players on this club recognize there is not enough pitching to get this team through the playoffs. They also recognize that the GM is full of *HIT and has no intention of winning with the pitching he has put together.
I hear ya, 1 of 5. This team can't possibly face the Sux in the Bronx next weekend with any confidence. I already see myself in anybody-but-the-Sux playoff mode. Jeez…
Mantle–Lame is too soft for what this team has done in this series. This is more than lame. This couldn't get any worse. Do you know what they do with lame horses? They take them out and shoot them and put them out of their misery.
Now 13-4. Please get this debacle over with. I'm not watching any more of this crap. This is the last straw. If they continue to use guys like Coke and Mitre we might as well give the Red Sox first place and the World Series. Totally embarrassing. The whole organization from the owners down to the players should be hanging their heads in shame after this series. The White Sox are just not that good. And in spite of our high salary budget neither are the Yankees unfortunately. Big spending does not necessarily a winner make. Somebody has got to stop the bleeding and soon or we're in trouble again.
Girardi wanted more right handed hitters in the lineup today? Well Ransom is not a hitter, it's obvious he can't hit major league pitching. And his defense is average to poor. Why did they send Ramiro Pena down and replace him with this guy?
Phil Coke has never been stellar, and is fading fast.
I'm also surprised that the Yanks did not get a starter by the deadline. Mitre is not the answer, no track record, a pitcher who will wear out the pen by never going more than 5 innings.
I'm not a Joe Girardi fan, hopefully he won't cost the Yanks a chance at a pennant.
oneof5 there are a few pinstripe horses I'd like to take out and shoot and you can guess which one I'd start with.
This Yankee team is looking really sad in this series. What is wrong with them. There's mistakes all over the place. The pitching is terrible. We're not hitting with runners on base. We are just playing bad ball right now. I sure hope this doesn't continue. How are we going to do against the Red Sox playing like this? Now it's 11-4. This is a big friggin joke. Painful and embarrassing. Right now I'm not proud to be a Yankees fan.

If this team doesn't make the playoffs, both Girardi and Cashman deserve to lose their jobs. Inserting a non-fielding/non-hitting Ransom in the lineup on a frequent basis is grounds for termination. Seriously. Not in and of itself, but because of what it represents: a lack of common sense.
– Ex 1: You're gonna sit a productive player like Hinske in favor of Ransom, because the former is a lefty like the opposing pitcher? That matchup doesn't mean squat since Ransom couldn't hit a coconut with an ironing board! Take your chances w/the lefty who can hit–and who has 5 HR in 20 AB–as opposed to the interstate hitting righty. Ugh.
– Ex 2: Why bring in Aceves or whomever in the 8th inn, in a 1 or 2 run game to face the heart of the opposing team, instead of your best reliever, the best in MLB history? Isn't that the crucial part of the game? Why give the big responsibility to someone else and then let Mo face the bottom of the order in the 9th?
Let's just start preparing ourselves for a lack of postseason play in The Bronx. Willie Randolph in 2010? Tony Peña?
Bad teams give you roller coaster rides. Wonder how mellow Girardi will be with the press tonight. Maybe the NY/NJ press ought to get off its ***** and tell Girardi his team is going NOWHERE and he'll be back in the TV booth next year. I only hope he takes the IDIOT GM with him.
Typical Yankees bull pen melt down by Phil Coke. How long is the Yankees management going to wait for these young guys to shape up? They're way over their heads. Do we have to face perfect game Buerle tomorrow? If we can't win a game with the guys who have been pitching so far how can we possibly win against Buerle? Man a sweep to the White Sox? We're up against a team that is desperate in the Central division to catch the Tigers. The Yankees were 3 1/2 games ahead of the Sox going into this series and they are playing like it. No intensity, no desperation, no guts, no grit. Look at Melky. He was 3-0 and stood there while Thornton threw three pitches past him. Wonderful. Now 9-3. I'm not sure what's wrong with Posada. He must need a few games off. He's making stupid mistakes defensively. He just made another one for another run. He isn't hitting. He hits into too many DPs. I'd rather have Molina in there if Posada isn't going to do anything.
How many *amn times is Coke the Joke going to be brought in? And this is the only lefty this IDIOT GM could get? Oh wait Damasco is on his way, another JOKE!!! Again this IDIOT GM could NOT judge talent if it was handed to him. I agree with you Mantle but the Stein kids gave the IDIOT GM a 3 year contract for FAILURE. Tells you how smart they are. For Gods Sake King George come back NOW!!!
Bruney has been absolute terrible lately. Mantle there is no explanation for it. Let's face it folks this team goes nowhere as long as it has the likes of Girardi & the IDIOT GM calling the shots. At the end of the year, if they don't make the playoffs, it will be Girardi's head. That will NOT solve the woes of this franchise. As long as Crashman is there they will NOT win a *amn thing.
How many time can this offense put runners in scoring position with one out an score only single runs?
The richest sports franchise in the world passed on a (much needed) starting pitcher over a measly $650K?! I'd love to hear Cashman explain that one.
Oh, and why in heaven's name would you send Shelley Duncan back down to make room for Cody Ransom??!! I thought the acquisition of Jerry Hairston Jr meant the useless Ransom would finally get the boot. But no…there he is being his rally-killing-not-even-mediocre self again. I am SICK and TIRED of this nonsense. RELEASE CODY RANSOM NOW!!!
ol hickory in Jorge's defense it was a great play by Quentin. He pretended to be catching the ball & Posada hesitated, thus thrown out. I'm not sure there is collusion going on with other GM's I just think the IDIOT GM the Yankees have doesn't know how to get a trade done. There is NO way KC asked for Hughes or Joba for Bannister. The press in the midwest reported that the Yankees wanted the Royals to pay $650 thousand of his salary. The Yankees refused and as far as I am concerned that refusal might cost them in the long run. Gehrig in my opinion signing Igawa, Pavano and others should have gotten this IDIOT GM FIRED. Instead he got rewarded with a 3 year deal. Again failure gets rewarded in the NY Yankee world. Tell me think the IDIOT coulde beg Mussina to come out of retirement????
I can't understand it, I'm in total agreement with you guys, WHAT IN HELL IS RANSOM DOING IN A MAJOR LEAGUE UNIFORM? What a waste!.. I'm trying to figure out why we could not get a pitcher in a trade, Cash said all the GM's were asking for Joba and Phil. But they accepted much less from them. Is there collusion among other GM's to avoid trading with the Yanks? I wonder!!.
I don't know about you but I don't think were getting our monies worth out of CC and AJ. Joba is heating up but Andy and this Mitre are not the answer to the needs for a pennant race. Our only hope is to pick up more help from the waiver wire.. I didn't see the play at 3rd did Jorge have lead in his shoes, or was he forced to hold up?
The brand new excuse is that "there is no budget flexibility"; the Steinbrenners told Cashman the money overflow was done until next postseason…Well, maybe Cashman could have asked a loan to Mr. Igawa, already in his third season as probably the most expensive Triple A player ever…
Decisions like Igawa, make a huge impact (in his case negative) and help the team become this strange mix of superstars and the Ransoms, Veras, Tomkos and Bruneys of this world, who together become by far the most expensive group of underperformers when playing against other good teams.
Any proof? 8 years and counting since the last WS…
Notice the salaries given by Cashman to guys like Igawa, Marte (who got two homers in one inning the other night in Scranton), Nady, or the oldie Matsui, then you compare with other teams´decisions and can´t help noticing the great bargain made by the Angels hiring Abreu for peanuts, where he is having one great season so far…(321, 75 RBIs, lots of runs, etc…) That is the kind of decision that tells the difference between a good and a bad GM…And the Yankees, since 2001, is plagued by such bad decisions almost every year…
One lucky Yankee in this Cashman era? Joe Torre, who could leave, and now manages one of the best teams in baseball, the Dodgers…Meanwhile the Yankees hired the perfect match for Cashman -the surreal and rookie-sh Girardi…who will bring again next Tuesday Mitre to face Toronto, to be eaten alive by the Blue Jays batters..
Besides Wang matty who is down with injuries? I mean wasn't it the IDIOT GM who was in love with Ian Kennedy and would not trade him as part of the Santana trade? You missed the point completely, the farm system is a joke primarily because the IDIOT GM has not got a clue on how to build a team. You CANNOT have enough arms, PERIOD and this IDIOT does NOT get that. Bases loaded and no outs and only again one run. Posada is slower then Yogi Berra. Again why the *ELL is Ransom on this roster, let alone playing 1st base, let alone batting in the 6th with two guys on? Is Girardi a family friend or what?
Tell me someone please, why Cody Ransom is playing today? 2 strikeouts and the last one with two men on base. Bases loaded with no outs and the Yankees only get one run? Come on. What kind of ridiculous playing is this? How can a team who seems to be so hot go so cold against a team like the White Sox? No Matsui. No Damon. Now Bruney pitching. Is this a throw-away game? I figured the Yankees couldn't handle success very long being 3 1/2 games up on the Sox. The bubble had to burst. We're back to where we were in the way we're playing before the hot streak. I can't believe that Girardi is going to pitch Mitre in Toronto after his horrendous last start.
Hey, where's Todd E? hope he hasn't been suspended from this blog. Loved his humor and controversial comments.
Come on. Get serious. Why is Ransom playing 1st base instead of Hinske if they're trying to give Tex a break? Because he bats right? So what? Men at the corners and he swings like a rusty gate. He's not ready for the bigs but Girardi and Cashman don't seem to realize it. What does it take? AJ is not really AJ today unfortunately. Why do the Yankees seem to fall apart against some of these good hitting teams? Any team named the Sox they can't beat or the Angels. They seem to play tentative and up tight, make stupid mistakes, and get hit all over the field. I can see the Yankees getting swept in this series and falling behind the Red Sox having been 3 1/2 games ahead. Totally ridiculous. And with no legitimate 5th starter down the stretch we're in serious trouble. Everyone else who is a contender made major trades. The Yankees get a utility player and no starter because supposedly the price was too high. What is too high with prospects when you are one good starter away from probably getting to the World Series? Where did all the confidence and swagger go that the Yankees played with over the past 15 games? Mitre is going to pitch the second game against the Blue Jays next week? You've got to be kidding. And I have tickets to that game here in Toronto. Put Hughes into the rotation. There's got to be someone better than Mitre in the system. We could have had Washburn pitching if Cashman could have pulled it off. Why can other teams pull off these trades and Cashman can't?
To matty:
You are an ignorant *ss, and it's obvious that you have absolutely no idea what a "Whiner" is. Robert Kramer, who I have met recently, is a true Yankee fan, unlike you. You my friend, are a "know nothing" wimper who obviously believes that louder and longer is better.
Grow up, you pompous son of a *itch. Stop putting everyone down, and take a good look at yourself. Unfortunately for you, but thankful for the rest of us, the world does not rotate around you.
We'll all do better with a lot less of your inane player evaluation, and your insulting comments about the differences between real Yankee fans and you.
Why in the world is Swisher an everyday player? As a lifetime 240 hitter, he is a bench player, and not a great one at that. And his offense just does not overide his defense, or in actuality, his complete lack of it.
I really don't care about whatever offense he gives us in terms of the long ball because we have guys, like the recently added Hinske, who are much better at that than Swisher. The old professor, Casey Stengel, used to say about guys like Swisher: Yeah, he knocks in 4, and he gives up 5!
You don't need to score 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or more runs per game, just 1 more than your opponenetPlay the best defense, and it's becomes a hell of a lot easier to score just 1 more run than your opponent.
Mitre is scheduled to pitch vs. the Jays in game two next week. Are you kidding me? Why? Oh I forgot our manager is on record saying the Yankees have no other options. Why is that IDIOT GM? Could it be that there are NO pitching prospects down there and NO vets that you have signed? And instead of making a deadline trade for a 5th starter you in your infamous wisdom picked up a utility infielder/outfielder. And Yankee fans wonder why this team has not won a WS Championship since 2000? It starts with the GM and this team's is a CLUELESS IDIOT!!!!
Good job Tex, 2 out 2 run single. Why the *ELL is Ransom playing 1st and Swisher batting 2nd? What is Girardi's love affair for Ransom? How many HR's does Hinske have to hit Girardi?
I suppose AJ was due for a poor outing with the way he's been pitching lately, but did he have to do it on national television when they needed him to play stopper?
Precisely another reason why you have to have an efficient and winning #4 & #5 starters. 1-3 are NOT going to have it every game, as evident by todays game. I still think yesterday's non trade for a 5th starter has had an impact on this squad. Players are not stupid and they realize when a GM is putting together a winning combination and this GM hasn't shown that ability. Down 6-0 already and to another quality ballclub.

For "22 Jump Street" actor Wyatt Russell, acting is very much in his DNA. That's just what happens when your father is Kurt Russell, your mother is Goldie Hawn and you look like a perfect 50:50 mix of the two.
Helping the 27-year-old actor's case that he's got the same easy charm and on-screen confidence that made his parents (and half-sister Kate Hudson) such stars.
But, genetic predispositions aside, Russell wasn't supposed to be an actor. He was supposed to a professional athlete. He was a professional athlete, in fact, playing pro ice hockey in Germany and the Netherlands, as well as for a string of semi-pro teams on this side of the Atlantic.
Then, fate intervened.
"I was a hockey player," Russell said last November during a break in shooting on the New Orleans set of "22 Jump Street," in which he co-stars alongside Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. "I played hockey forever. That was my life and my job. Until I got injured."
It wasn't just some run-of-the-mill injury, either. It was a potentially catastrophic one, with the then-19-year-old Russell unable to move his hands or his feet immediately afterward. Medics, who had to cut his gear off of him, feared the worst: a broken neck. And just like that, the thing that Russell thought would earn him a paycheck for the foreseeable future was taken away.
"I remember rolling through the hospital and looking up at the ceiling and just thinking, 'OK, so I'm not going to play hockey anymore,'" Russell said. "'I'm not going to be able to do this anymore. What am I going to do? Maybe I'll direct? I'll do something like write.' I didn't know."
The injury turned out to be less dire than originally feared. It was not a broken neck but a severely pinched -- almost severed -- nerve in his neck. "The feeling came back and everything came back," he said. "But after that, I realized that I'm not going to be able to play hockey forever, and I'm not going to be doing this, maybe if I'm lucky, until I'm 35."
Luckily for him, he had dad Kurt to lean on. As it turns out, the elder Russell -- like his own father before him (and like his nephew, former Big-Leaguer Matt Franco) -- once had a promising baseball career, even playing for a minor-league affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels. A rotator cuff injury cut short that career in the 1970s, however, prompting Kurt Russell to return to the acting career that he had started as a child actor, most notably in live-action Disney films.
So he knew exactly what his boy was going through -- and how difficult it was.
"It was hard," Wyatt Russell said. "It's hard for anybody when they get injured to make a transition into anything else. I tried other things. You think you're going to do it for the rest of your life. You think you're invincible, you know? 'I get paid to do this. Why is it ever going to stop?' And then it gets ripped out from underneath you and you don't know what you're going to do.
"I just stayed in my room for four days and (would) just look at the wall and cry. And then you kind of realize, 'Well, I've got to do something else with my life. I don't want to get a real job. I've been playing a game my whole life.'"
The family business -- that is, acting -- offered a perfect fallback plan. At that time, Russell even had a couple of screen credits to his name, including a turn as a young orphan in his dad's 1996 film "Escape From L.A." But, aside from messing around with his siblings on improvised backyard films when he was a kid, Russell resisted following that path as a career choice -- and for the very reason that others thought he should embrace it.
"My family was involved in it, (so) I never wanted to do it," he said. "I wanted to stay away from it because it's what everyone expected I was going to do. I kind of just shied away from it for a long time. Afterwards, I realized I could do this as a job. What it brings: the happiness and joy it can bring your family, friends, fans and people around you, or whatever. And so I decided to give it a shot."
It's still early in his acting career, but it's been going pretty well for him so far, with a string of small roles in notable films, such as Jon Favreau's "Cowboys vs. Aliens," Judd Apatow's "This is 40" and, earlier this year, in the indie drama "Cold in July." Russell also appeared in roles in such series as "The Walking Dead," "Arrested Development" and "Law & Order: Los Angeles."
It's "22 Jump Street," however, that stands to deliver his big break. The film is a sequel to the New Orleans-shot comedy "21 Jump Street," and it once more sees two bumbling cops, played by Tatum and Hill, going undercover to bust a drug ring. In the first film, they posed as high school students. In the sequel, they go to college.
Russell plays the quarterback of the fictitious Metro City State College football team, a guy with a surfer-dude charm (and locks) who develops an on-screen bromance with Tatum's football-loving character. As a result, the film provides Russell with more screen time than he got in any previous feature film. (On the production's call sheet -- that unequivocal ranking of cast members' on-set status -- Russell was listed fourth, behind only Hill, Tatum and co-star Ice Cube.)
As it turns out, it's a perfect role for him, one that gives him a chance to show off what he can do both as athlete and as an actor.
On the day he sat down to talk about the film, he was in full football pads for a scene shot at City Park's Tad Gormley Stadium, including wearing an armband with actual plays he and his on-screen teammates had practiced. He's never played competitive football, but you wouldn't guess it by looking at him. He wore the uniform well, thanks to the physical confidence and locker-room familiarity he picked up as a pro athlete.
"I get sports and I get the sports atmosphere, the feeling around other athletes," he said.
That's a testament to the film's casting department, but it's also a testament to Hill, Tatum and "22 Jump Street" directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller -- because the offer for a role in "22 Jump Street" came at the same time as Russell received an offer to appear in another high-profile project. That project: "The Hunger Games" franchise.
"It was really hard," Russell said of the task of choosing one film over the other. "(I was) more honored than I think I've ever felt in my life to be presented with a decision like that. It basically came down to ... scheduling. A lot of it was other films that I want to do after this that maybe I wouldn't have been able to do if I would have been doing 'Hunger Games' because the shoot is so long.
"It's an impossible decision to make. I was literally asking friends, asking family, like, 'What do you think I should do?' At the end, it just came down to what my gut was, and really some of these other movies that I wanted to do afterwards and probably wouldn't have been able to do if I had been (on 'Hunger Games') for that long."
It also gave him a chance to come to New Orleans, a city he had never visited previously. The closest he had come was in his college days, when he played at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. It didn't take long, however, for him to appreciate the Crescent City as a special place.
"I can understand why people dig it so much and want to move here, be here, experience the culture, and stuff," he said. "(It's) really different. I've never been in a city like this. You have really conservative folks and you have really unbelievably like the most liberal people I've ever met, living right next door to each other and working in the same environment. It's really cool that way -- like Magazine Street. I was living in the Quarter at first at the hotel. Went and did that whole thing. Quarter got old, you know. When you're there for three or four weeks, you can't just do it every day. So I moved across the way a little bit to the Garden District to get that feel. Awesome."
As for what's next for him, Russell will reportedly combine his hockey and his acting talents in the sports drama "Turk," about the life of pro hockey player Derek "Turk" Sanderson. Russell will play the legendary Bobby Orr.
But first comes the opening weekend of "22 Jump Street," which is poised to square off this weekend with "How to Train Your Dragon 2" in a battle of the high-profile sequels. It's anybody's guess as to which film will come out on top, but to hear Russell describe it, fans of the first "Jump Street" film will be entertained, win or lose.
"Phil and Chris know what's funny more than anybody I've met in my recent history," he said. "They just know what's funny. So it gives you confidence to know that I can go crazy, say whatever I want, and it's probably not going to be in the movie. Or they'll take that little piece of it and they'll put it in the movie and make me way funnier than I actually am."

By LAUREN PADILLA
Longmeadow High
Five years ago, if you asked an average high schooler what her favorite store was, the answer would be simple — Abercrombie -- or another "teen-oriented retailer." Times have changed. Today, teen brands are a dying breed. Replacing them are "fast fashion" retailers — stores that take the latest runway trends and adapt them into inexpensive prêt-a-porter collections.
It's about time. Personally I think the "casual luxury" nonsense should have died out years ago. Has anyone been to Abercrombie lately? It hasn't changed a bit in the last five years. The store is still composed entirely of logo-embossed T-shirts and jeans that look as if they've been attacked by a series of rabid squirrels. While the rest of the fashion retailers have adapted gradually with time, Abercrombie, and nearly all the other teen-oriented stores, have remained the same. It's no wonder why sales fall.
So, what happens next? Where exactly does the demise of the teen-oriented retailer leave the rest of the world? Previously, teen stores have served as a vital stepping stone on the journey to the fully-developed wardrobe. Young children would purchase their clothing from children's boutiques. At around age eight, they would progress to Justice or Abercrombie Kids. After that, teens would make the jump to the genuine teen-oriented retailers (Abercrombie, American Eagle, etc.). Now, however, instead of hopping from Justice to Abercrombie, those headed into their teen years will be leaping from Justice to H &M or Forever XXI. Although most of the "fast fashion" retailers do offer a youth section, their styles tend to be much more mature.
So, instead of dressing in T-shirts and a plain pair of skinny jeans, the next generation of teens will probably begin to look more like an assemblage of mini fashion bloggers (no complaints there). It could very well be that the next generation of teenagers will be the most fashion-conscious group that we have seen in a while.
Nonetheless, there is still time left for the teenage retailers to adapt to the modern era. If they succeed in implementing the right changes in time, today's teen brands may just survive. While the thought of Abercrombie and Fitch's reign lasting another ten years absolutely horrifies me, it is still a possibility. But, I suppose all we can do is wait and see.

The first two Dexter superintendent finalists to meet the public said Thursday that implementing the bond issue monies approved by voters this week will be an important focus for whomever is chosen to lead the school district.
Special writer Lisa Allmendinger can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 734-433-1052.
"I'm not looking for any superintendency, I want this superintendency," said Staub, who is the assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and assessment in Pinckney.
Staub said one of the immediate challenges facing a new superintendent would be implementing the bond money, specifically the $12 million for new technology.
She said she was "passionate about the arts" and had orchestrated a program that includes a side-by-side concert with school children in the Pinckney district with the Ann Arbor Symphony.
Staub graduated from the University of Michigan with a doctorate in educational foundation, policy and administration in 1994. She earned a master's degree in educational leadership from Eastern Michigan University in 1982, and a bachelor's degree in 1978 in child development and mathematics from Central Michigan University.
Calling himself a collaborative leader, Metcalf said he'd bring "energy, excitement, experience with bond projects and construction" to the Dexter Community Schools.
He said he's raised almost $300,000 in grant funding for the Marshall school district and is a supporter of the arts as well as athletics.
Dexter schools superintendent search
Two finalists for superintendent of the Dexter Community Schools met the public Thursday. Here's the rest of the selection schedule:
Today: A third finalist, Dr. John Savel, superintendent of Trenton Public Schools, meets the public at 6 p.m. at Creekside School, 2615 Baker Road.
Saturday: The school board meets at 8:30 a.m. at Creekside to pick two finalists.
Monday, Tuesday: Each of the two finalists chosen Saturday will meet with the board for a second interview at 6 p.m. Which candidate will come on which day will be determined Saturday.
May 28: A final decision will be made by the board at a meeting at 7 p.m. at Creekside School.
Metcalf is a former high school coach and has been heavily involved in both the budget and finance process in the Marshall school district.
He earned a Ph.D. in educational administration in 2006 and a master's degree in 2000 from Michigan State University. Metcalf earned a bachelor's degree in biology education from Bowling Green State University in 1994.
The Dexter school board will interview a third candidate, John Savel, the superintendent of Trenton Public Schools, at 6 p.m. today at Creekside School.
A fourth finalist, Harrison Cass of Marshalltown, Iowa, has dropped out.
The search was launched after current Superintendent Evelynn Shirk announced in December that she would retire in June after serving as the district's superintendent for four years.

Mike Gunkle wanted his Newport football team to finish out the season strong.
The Buffaloes were more than willing.
On Nov. 6, Newport rolled out of Halifax with a 20-0 win that completed its schedule with a 2-8 record.
In its best performance of the season, the Buffalo defense intercepted four passes, picked up two sacks, added nine other tackles for losses and held the Wildcats to 145 yards of offense on 50 plays, a dominating 2.9 yards per play.
"That's what we needed to do," said Gunkle, "It was something for the seniors to go out on and something for the underclassmen to build on.'
Gunkle's defense, so often abused this year, was led by a host of Buffaloes, including linebackers Skyler Ray, Jackson Albert, Nikoda Smith and Robbie Jones, nose tackle Bob Craig and cornerback Spencer Sutton.
Ray led the team with nine tackles, including three for losses. Smith was in on four tackles (one for a loss), Jones added six (one for a loss) and Albert picked off a pass. Craig had two tackles for a loss. Sutton picked off a pass and made two tackles for losses totaling 20 yards.
"The defense played really well. (Halifax) only threatened (to score) once," Gunkle said. "They had a second-and-goal from the 3 and we shut them down. Albert, Ray, Craig and Jones all made plays to keep them out of the end zone.'
With his defense clicking, Gunkle called on his offense to score enough points to secure the win. It came through just fine.
John Craig, who rushed for a team-best 73 yards on 18 carries, cashed in a first-quarter drive with an 8-yard scoring burst.
Senior quarterback Mike Hogan finished off a pair of second-quarter drives with two short TD runs that completed the scoring.
Hogan enjoyed an efficient night directing the Buffalo offense, completing 8-of-20 passes for 126 yards without getting picked. He also rushed for 60 yards on 11 keepers, a solid 5.4 average.
"Mike had a nice game. He threw the ball well and he made good decisions on the option," Gunkle noted. "We were also able to nickle-and-dime them with John running the ball.'
Sutton, who has grown into a new role out of the slot, was the leading receiver, hauling in five balls for 80 yards. The undersized, but quick, junior also gave his team good field position by returning three punts for 65 yards. In all, Sutton accumulated 150 all-purpose yards on just nine touches.
Buffalo notes
Myers (one catch, 26 yards), Bob Craig (1-17) and Matt Hogan (1-3) all caught passes.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Conference USA has announced bowl affiliations with nine bowls through the 2019 season.
This means that the league will have a minimum of five guaranteed spots each season.
From Conference USA, here are the 9 bowl breakdowns:
**The Bahamas Bowl will join the bowl line-up in 2014 as the only postseason college football game outside of the United States. The inaugural game will be held in the new Thomas A. Robinson Stadium in Nassau, Bahamas. Conference USA expects to face a team from the Mid-American Conference in 2015, the American Athletic Conference in 2018 and the Sun Belt Conference in 2019.
**Beef `O' Brady's St. Petersburg Bowl began in 2008 and has had a Conference USA participant since its inception, and has been victorious the past two seasons. This bowl is owned and operated by ESPN and held prior to Christmas each year at Tropicana Field, the home of the Tampa Bay Rays. C-USA will meet a team from the American Athletic Conference a minimum of three years.
**The Boca Raton Bowl will be played in FAU Stadium on the campus of C-USA member Florida Atlantic University. It is the newest bowl announced that will be run by ESPN. The league will send a team to a minimum of four Boca Raton Bowls, beginning in 2014 against the Mid-American Conference. C-USA will face a member of the American Athletic Conference in later years.
**Conference USA will enter its first-year as a primary partner with the Gildan New Mexico Bowl and will send a team to Albuquerque all six years between 2014 and 2019. C-USA will face a representative from the Mountain West Conference each season at University Stadium on the campus of the University of New Mexico.
**The Heart of Dallas Bowl presented by PlainsCapital Bank was established in 2012 with the unique perspective of creating an event that will give back to its community. The Heart of Dallas is a non-profit dedicated to supporting causes in the Dallas area, using sports and entertainment as a vehicle to help gain awareness. Conference USA expects to play in the bowl six years and will alternate opponents from the Big Ten and Big 12 as teams meet in the historic Cotton Bowl Stadium.
**The Miami Beach Bowl will also host its first game during the 2014 season, with Conference USA expected to face a team from the American Athletic Conference in 2014 and 2015. The American will own and operate the Miami Beach Bowl, which will be held at Marlins Park - the home of Major League Baseball's Miami Marlins. Marlins Park is located on the former site of the historic Orange Bowl Stadium in Miami. Conference USA will play in the bowl a minimum of three years.
**The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl has hosted a Conference USA team nine times during its 12-year history, with a current C-USA team winning six of those 12 bowls. The game will continue to be played at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. C-USA is scheduled to be involved in three games over the next six years.
**C-USA also resumes its long-term partnership with the Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl to play in the annual Christmas Eve game. A C-USA team has participated in, and won, the last four games in Honolulu. Following a 2013 meeting with a Mountain West team, the two conferences will square off again at Aloha Stadium in 2014, 2016 and 2018.
**Conference USA enters a new secondary partnership with the AdvoCare V100 Bowl, played at Independence Stadium in Shreveport, La. C-USA will provide a surplus team to the bowl in the event the Southeastern Conference or Atlantic Coast Conference are unable to provide a team.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Call it the revenge of the bugs.
A juiceless electronic zapper that had been discarded in Dongan Hills was mistaken for a bomb last night.
The "see something, say something" report of a suspicious "package" about 7:30 p.m. brought police on the double to Burgher and North Railroad avenues, where they closed the scene to traffic.
The FDNY also responded.
But it soon became apparent that the protruding wires had nothing to do with a bomb and everything to do with a bug zapper, a law enforcement source said.
The big police response gave rise to concern on a hot, and sticky night.
"It doesn't make you feel real easy," said a resident who didn't want his name used. He said he'd had to take a few extra turns to get back to his home on Atlantic Avenue — and, perhaps more importantly, his swimming pool.
"We've never had anything like this," said another resident.
Lisa Soto said she became concerned when she saw the police officers and firefighters near her home. And she said she got extra-nervous when an officer told her, 'I would rather that you wait inside."
"Nothing like this ever happens in this neighborhood," Ms. Soto said.

FAIRHOPE, Alabama -- Among Alabama's 50 largest cities, Fairhope has earned the title of being the most business-friendly, according to a new report released by the Alabama Policy Institute.
Pitted against the likes of Montgomery (8th), Hoover (33rd), Mountain Brook (35th), Mobile (40th) and Birmingham (47th) through research of each city's tax policy, costs of living, crime rates, population and job growth, Fairhope rose to the top.
John Hill, Ph.D, senior policy analyst for the independent nonprofit research and education organization, compiled data that led to ranking the cities in four categories, "based on criteria that both ensure business success and protect the entrepreneurial spirit": Economic Vitality, Business Tax Burden, Community Allure and Transportation Infrastructure.
The findings were announced Friday and the full report gave the nod to Fairhope as its overall scores were the best.
"Fairhope is Alabama's Most Business-Friendly City," the report revealed. "Located in Baldwin County, this city finished first in Economic Vitality, eighth in the Business Tax Burden category, 27th in Community Allure and fifth in the less-weighted category of Transportation Infrastructure, for a composite score of 73.85 out of 100 possible points, edging out Millbrook (70.95) and Athens (70.55)."
Fairhope Mayor Tim Kant announced the news during Monday's council meeting.
"We beat out Mobile. We beat out Montgomery. We beat out all of them," Kant said. "We're doing something right here so let's keep it up."
Council President Jack Burrell thanked the mayor, council and city staff for their collective achievement.
"I hope that you told everybody in Mobile that today," Burrell said about Kant's attendance at the groundbreaking for Airbus' 600 million assembly plant.

Kant replied, "It was floating around."
Other rankings
Another Baldwin city cracked that top five as Daphne earned a 69.37 score to take fourth. Foley came in a respectable 16th with 58.97 points and first in the Business Tax Burden category.
Although Mobile's overall score netted 40th place it was the only city to score a perfect 100 in any category as it top the Transportation Infrastructure rankings.
In Mobile County, Saraland earned the 32nd spot while Prichard came in second-to-last, five points away from last bottom.
"With every best there is a worst," the reports states, "and the dubious honor of being Alabama's least Business-Friendly City belongs to Selma, with a total score of 27.32. Simply put, Selma possesses unfavorable rankings in all four business-friendly categories."
The institute's report says cities looking to improve scores should emulate the top cities that have reasonable tax rates, quality school systems, low crime, access to transportation infrastructure, and a thriving economy despite the recent recession.
"Cities at or near the top should not rest on their laurels," the report warns. "On average, less than one point separated the rankings from each other, and less than three points separated first and second place. If several cities made even small changes to improve their business climate, next year's rankings could be dramatically different."
Behind the rankings
Following the lead of the Beacon Center of Tennessee's annual report, "How Business-Friendly are Tennessee's Cities?", the Alabama Policy Institute came up with its ranking system.
The formula it used was based on U.S. Census figures, state information on property taxes, education and criminal justice, and even basic Google map searches to measure distance, among other criteria. The scoring was broken down as follows:
Economic Vitality (35 percent of overall score):
- Recent job growth (50 percent of Economic Vitality category)
- Residential population growth from 2010 to 2011 (12.5 percent)
- Population growth from 2000 to 2010, divided by 10 (12.5 percent)
Median per capita income (25 percent)
- Business Tax Burden (30 percent of overall score):
- Business property taxes (70 percent of Business Tax Burden category)
Local sales tax (30 percent)
- Community Allure (20 percent of overall score):
- Cost of living index (35 percent of Community Allure category)
- Per capita violent crime rate (35 percent)
- Percent of adults age 25 or older with at least a high school diploma (15 percent)
- Average SAT 10 scores for 8th grade math and reading (15 percent)
Transportation Infrastructure (15 percent of overall score):
- Distance to primary commercial service airport (25 percent of
- Transportation Infrastructure category)
- Distance to commercial rail service (25 percent)
- Distance to port capable of handling container shippin (25 percent)
- Distance to Interstate Highway System (25 percent)
(The full report, including rankings under each category, is available at the Alabama Policy Institute's website www.alabamapolicy.org.)

MUSKEGON, MI – A reported shooting at Muskegon's Clover Bar early Saturday morning remained under investigation today, Nov. 18, as no victim and no shooting had yet been identified.
The incident was reported at 12:36 a.m. on Saturday at the Clover Bar, 817 East Forest, in the city of Muskegon.
The call came in as a subject shooting inside the bar, but then it was reported that it may have been fireworks. When officers arrived to the scene, they were told someone had been shot just outside the door, possibly in the enclosed entry way of the bar, police said.
The shooter was never allegedly in the bar, police were told, according to the report.
The alleged victim ran into the bar and then out the back door, police said. As of Monday morning, the victim and shooter hadn't yet been identified.
No witnesses had come forward with information to officers at the scene.
A bullet and a .25 caliber casing was found in the entrance way of the bar, police said.
The alleged shooting remains under investigation this morning.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Muskegon Police Department at (231) 724-6750 or Silent Observer at 72-CRIME.

Comcast Corp.'s potential $45.2 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable affects more than television viewers, but also one-third of the nation's Internet users.
The deal would increase Comcast's subscriber total, already the largest in the country, from 22 million to 30 million, which makes the company too big, public interest group Public Knowledge told CNN. Public Knowledge thinks the acquisitions will increase prices for customers, as they said happened when Comcast acquired NBCUniversal in 2011. But Comcast Executive Vice President David Cohen told CNN he doesn't think there's any argument to prices going up, and added the increase in subscribers is unlikely to change the firm's negotiating position much.
Prices aside, the major concern for Public Knowledge is Comcast using its Internet pipes to slow competition and favor its own content. Jodie Griffin of Public Knowledge told Wired that with Time Warner Cable in its control, Comcast would have more power to require fees from online streaming companies. "Netflix is in the unenviable position of needing to find ways to get a whole lot of data over these networks to users who are asking for it," Griffin said. "As Comcast acquires more subscribers, it has more leverage against the content companies."
The Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality provisions required Internet providers to treat all online traffic equally and not give preferential treatment to their own content. But the U.S. Court of Appeals struck down these rules earlier this year, paving the way for Internet providers to impose fees on companies like Netflix to give priority treatment to content streaming across their networks.
Comcast's Cohen stressed to the Los Angeles Times that as part of its NBCUniversal acquisition, it must obey the FCC's net neutrality rules, even with the provisions being struck down. If that's the case, the Wall Street Journal's Marketwatch reports that this merger may actually benefit net neutrality, as it'll enforce the FCC's rule on roughly one-third of the nation's broadband subscribers. But Josh Stearns at Free Press says once Comcast's net neutrality condition expires, as it's set to do in 2018, customers would be out of luck.
Even with net neutrality, online streaming can be affected another way. Comcast limits how much data its customers are able to stream from the Internet, while Time Warner offers unlimited Internet plans. It's not clear what would happen to those plans, or Time Warner's pricing structure, under the terms of the acquisition. If Comcast decides to limit the amount all customers can stream, David Lieberman of Deadline thinks this could effect how much Netflix users allow themselves to watch: "While Comcast says it will abide by the FCC's net neutrality rules, Netflix and its rivals would have the air knocked out of them if the biggest broadband provider promoted usage based pricing, effectively leading consumers to watch the meter whenever they stream video."
Streaming speeds for Netflix already are significantly lower for Comcast users compared to other providers, The Consumerist reports. If the merger is completed, Time Warner Cable customers could experience the same slow streaming speed.
Even with the slow streaming speed for Netflix, Comcast won't be worrying too much about losing customers. Emily Siner of NPR reports nearly 80 percent of housing units have access to two Internet service providers.
"But the FCC estimates that once cable Internet is upgraded across the U.S., three-fourths of the population will have only one option for very fast Internet. The lack of competition means Comcast-Time Warner won't lose customers even if they're not happy with its net neutrality policy."
The FCC and anti-trust regulators are expected to inspect the acquisition. With a combined 33 million customers, Comcast and Time Warner Cable don't overlap in any market, Siner reports, "so in any given place, the number of cable providers will stay the same." With the net neutrality condition and the lack of overlap, Siner thinks federal regulators might be appeased enough to let the merger progress. She adds, "Whether customers are happy is a whole different story."

IRON MOUNTAIN Michigan's annual Winter Free Fishing Weekend runs today and Sunday.
No fishing license is required but all regulations still apply. This is an opportunity to introduce someone to the sport of ice fishing.
Local anglers were catching fish this week, with bluegills, crappie and northern the most plentiful.
"They're doing OK on gills, crappie and perch," reported Tom Bean at Crystal Bait in Crystal Falls. "Perch and crappie minnows along with wigglers were working for perch. Most are using wax worms for bluegill."
Pattie Teske at Florence Sport and Bait said fishing improved this week.
"Guys are catching crappie finally," she said. "Look for them to be suspended about 15 feet of water. Crappie minnows work best."
John Grier at Whispering Pines Outpost saw a 29-inch walleye this week and another with it that was only slightly smaller.
"They're still going to Gene's Pond for bluegill," he offered. "Had one guy get into some really big perch, but he went back the next day and didn't get one."
Some hit-or-miss perch of the larger variety were also reported at Lake Antoine.
"They got a couple of nice northern out there too this week," said Dean Lindblom at Country Bait and Tackle. "Definitely a lot of guys going out this week."
Don Ciochetto at the Sport Shop in Iron River said anglers his way were reporting a lot of northern, but mostly small ones.
"The local predator hunts are really active," he added. "Had one started Thursday night out toward Kenton, and there were some nice coyote taken."
Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment reported the following fishing conditions across the Upper Peninsula:
Keweenaw Bay - Anglers need to watch for pressure cracks as the ice in these areas is often pushed up or down and can leave a sizeable pocket of water. There is open water out from Carla's Restaurant. Do not venture to close to the edge of this area because the ice can break loose at anytime and start drifting. Lake trout action was good off Jentoft's Dock, Whirl-l-Gig Road, and Old Mission. Anglers did better jigging in 240 to 260 feet of water with most fish in the 15 to 19 inch range. Bigger fish were caught in 70 to 220 feet of water. Try jigs with cut bait out deep and Swedish Pimples in shallow water. Whitefish action was spotty but some nice fish were found in 40 to 105 feet of water east of the Baraga Marina, out from the Falls River and about a mile north of Indian Country Sports. The lake herring and coho bite was spotty. Most are fishing off Sand Point, Tribal Police Road, and Old Mission. Try 8 to 15 feet down in 30 to 70 feet of water with small jigs and wax worms. No perch but anglers were catching smelt north and south of the Baraga Marina.
Little Bay De Noc - Anglers were still fishing along the northern end from Garth Point to Portage Point. Good numbers of fish have been marked throughout the bay. The better walleye fishing was off the Second Reef when jigging rapalas or using tip-ups in 28 feet of water. Good action off the mouth of the Escanaba River in 25 to 35 feet of water. A few small perch were taken in shallow waters around Butler Island, but the best action was around the Second and Center Reefs when jigging minnows or wigglers in waters 22 to 30 feet deep. Whitefish were caught off Sand Point when jigging spawn or minnows in 80 to 90 feet of water. Northern pike catches were up slightly near Kipling. Try tip-ups with sucker minnows in 10 to 20 feet of water.
Munising - Most anglers are focusing on whitefish. Catch rates were slow and most of the fish caught were small. The occasional splake was caught on minnows. Lake trout were in deep water in the west channel around Grand Island.
Indian Lake - Warmer weather has caused the ice to shift along the pressure crack. Some areas also have water on top of the ice. Danielson's Landing is still the best bet for entering the lake on the northeast side since there was deep snow and slushy spots near Arrow Head. The better perch fishing was on the west side of the lake where a few 9 inch fish were taken on a Swedish Pimple and minnow. A few walleye and pike were caught in the center on both sides of the pressure crack along the north end.
Munuscong Bay - Is producing a few walleye; however with no consistency. Fish were caught in waters 3 to 30 feet deep. Perch fishing was slow and many were small. Mid-March is when anglers anticipate the best perch fishing. The ice was holding however there are some very deep snow drifts.
Cedarville and Hessel - Fishing out of Hessel was very slow with only an occasional legal size perch taken. Musky Bay was better with several nice catches in 10 to 12 feet of water east of Ducks Bay when using wigglers or wax worms.

Soriano has seven treys in Tommies' victory
MARYSVILLE — By the time senior guard Nick Soriano scored his first three-point basket against Cascade, the Tomahawks were already up 15-11.
So while there were a few early lead changes in the Dec. 9 game, neither the first nor the next six of Soriano's three-pointers came at a critical time to the Tomahawks. It was just an excellent performance in a very good team effort as M-P defeated Cascade 75-57. Soriano had 23 points, matching the effort of Cascade star Chris McGrath.
Three more Tomahawks scored in double figures and every player on the roster added at least two points. It would be a pleasant surprise for this "no name" Tomahawk team to score almost 20 points per quarter every game, but head coach Bary Gould isn't building his game plan around it.
"Soriano was on fire," he said. "He was feeling the tingle."
McGrath was hitting shots from around the court, but while Cascade's 14- and 20-point efforts in the first half were nothing to sneeze at, they couldn't quite hold up to the 20 and 22 points M-P put on the board. The Tomahawks always seemed to have an answer for anything the Bruins did.
Senior forward Troy Toler helped M-P match Cascade shot for shot with nine of his 11 points in the first half. Seven guys scored at least once before the break. M-P only slowed down a little coming back in the third quarter with Soriano providing half the team's 16 points in the period.
Seniors Tyler Holm and Nick Soriano chipped in 12 and 14 points for the Tomahawks.
While Soriano said he hopes to have the hot hand for Marysville this season, he just wants to see plenty of time on the court after limited minutes off the bench last year.
"It's just nice to play after being in the system," he said.

Boys golf: Pryor takes over OHHS program
Jeff Pryor is now patrolling the fairways as the new head coach of the Oak Harbor High School boys golf team.
Pryor replaces John Matzen who coached the Wildcats for 23 years.
Pryor said, "John was a great coach who dedicated many years to this team. I don't intend on competing with John's legacy, I just want to come in and run the program the best that I can."
As he heads into his first season, Pryor said his goals are "to teach the young players the game and guide the experienced players to play their personal best."
Pryor is a graduate of Yakima's East Valley High School and Eastern Washington University, where he picked up his BA physical education in 1995.
He taught in the Spokane area and Priest Lake, Idaho, before becoming the P.E. specialist at Broad View Elementary in Oak Harbor in 2002.
Pryor has played golf since being introduced to the sport in a seventh-grade physical education class, but this will be his first stint as a coach.

The 60-year-old guitarist and songwriter said he plans to submit his thesis, "Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud," to supervisors at Imperial College London within the next two weeks.
May was an astrophysics student at Imperial College when Queen, which included Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor, was formed in 1970. He dropped his doctorate as the glam rock band became successful.
Queen was one of Britain's biggest music groups in the 1970s, with hits including "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "We Will Rock You."
After Mercury's death in 1991, May recorded several solo albums, including 1998's "Another World." But his interest in astronomy continued, and he co-wrote "Bang! The Complete History of the Universe," which was published last year.
May told the British Broadcasting Corp. that he had always wanted to complete his degree.
"It was unfinished business," he said. "I didn't want an honorary Ph.D. I wanted the real thing that I worked for."

I am writing to add my voice to the debate on traffic cameras. I would like to caution readers who choose to shop or conduct business in Gretna.
The city has a mobile traffic camera, and the manner in which it is deployed strongly suggests entrapment.
The city moves the camera around from place to place on the West Bank Expressway service road and other busy commercial corridors such as Lapalco Boulevard. You can never be sure where it is going to turn up; however, you can be sure that you are running a heightened risk of incurring a $100-plus speeding ticket if you happen to exceed the speed limit by as little as six or seven miles per hour.
In the past three months I have received two, possibly three, speeding tickets while going to Jazzercise or Oakwood Mall with my children. I now think of the camera as a sort of mobile ATM for the city of Gretna.
Is speeding wrong? Yes. But this is ridiculous. Something has to be done.
In the meantime, I will be taking my shopping dollars elsewhere.

Something like that (exterior-grade plywood) is what I was thinking of.

_______________________________________________It depends on the tower, but three boards fastened to cover the tower faces up to 10 or 12 feet would work quite well. If the tower has a broader face than can handily be covered with boards then half or three quarter inch exterior plywood should work.
See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more. Call Toll Free, 1-800-333-9041 with any questions and ask for Sherman, W2FLA.
