Baseball Returns With a Three-Game Slate
It's been a little over five months since the last non-exhibition Major League Baseball game was played, but meaningful baseball is finally taking place again today (Opening Day, part one). After a month of Spring Training games, six of baseball's thirty teams are scheduled to dual it out over the course of this afternoon and evening, with the remaining twenty-four squads playing their opening games on Monday.
Game one of the regular season is set to kick off at 1:05, and sees the Cardinals taking on the Pirates in a National League Central battle. Francisco Liriano and Adam Wainwright are the scheduled starters for the contest, leaving little to doubt that it will be a great game. With the NL Central likely to be a very close race throughout the coming 162 games, it's never been more important to get off to a good start against a division rival.
The second game on the docket for today is another divisional faceoff, as the Blue Jays are going up against their American League East counterpart Rays. While the Rays aren't predicted to hold up against Toronto in the long run, anything can happen in the first game of the year. On the mound for Tampa is Chris Archer, with Marcus Stroman toeing the rubber for the Jays. It will likely be a fun one to watch, with this game beginning at 4:05 in the afternoon.
But while the previous two games are sure to be exciting and well worth watching, the one I'm going to be watching the closest and am looking forward to the most is the World Series rematch between the Mets and the Royals at 8:37. Game five of the Fall Classic way back on November 1st saw Matt Harvey starting for the Mets, with Edinson Volquez setting the tone for Kansas City, which just so happens to be the pitching matchup for tonight. For that reason, this should wind up being an unbelievable game.
As we all know, the Royals walked away World Series champions over the Mets in 2015, however, that was last season. It's a new year, and with it comes new opportunities for each and every team around baseball. The road to the World Series starts with game one, and the first week always promises excitement from teams and individual players around baseball, as they all look to get off to hot starts.
Let the season begin.
Q and A With Joe Kelly
Joe Kelly was drafted by the Cardinals in the 3rd round of the 2009 draft, despite recording a 5.65 ERA his final year at the University of California-Riverside.
Following the draft, Kelly performed well in the minors and made a steady progression through the ranks from 2009 to 2012, earning a mid season call up in 2012 to the Cardinals, where he proceeded to post a 3.53 ERA over the course of 107 innings pitched.
Kelly had a terrific following year in 2013 with the Cardinals, recording a 2.69 ERA over 124 innings and looked to be on his way to becoming one of the Cardinals' top pitching options in their rotation. But after a 4.37 ERA seven game start to the 2014 season, Kelly was traded to the Red Sox where he has remained ever since.
The 2015 season saw Kelly take the mound for the Red Sox 25 times, but his outings varied in consistency and his overall results were subpar. Following the up and down year, Kelly was shut down for the final portion of last season due to shoulder soreness, after a cumulative 4.82 ERA.
Despite the poor year for Kelly in 2015 and subsequent talks that he may be moved to the bullpen full time, many people still feel that he can turn things around to become an effective major league starting pitcher once again. After all, he still owns a decent career ERA of 3.82, and there have been plenty of signs in the past that he has the potential to still pan out.
Joe Kelly — pitcher for the Boston Red Sox — took the time recently to answer some of my questions:
1.) At what age did you first become interested in baseball? Who was your biggest baseball influence growing up?
I became most interested when I was about 5 years old. Growing up, my biggest influences were my parents. They were always so supportive and loving.
2.) Who was your favorite baseball player growing up? Why?
My favorite baseball player was Ken Griffey Jr. He was the best player in the league. Everyone loves a winner.
3.) You were drafted by the Cardinals in the 3rd round of the 2009 draft. What was that process like for you? Where were you when you first found out? Initial thoughts?
It was an awesome feeling. I was with my family and closest friends at a local pizza parlor. It was also my 21st birthday, and we had a great time celebrating all night.
4.) You made it to the World Series in 2013 with the Cardinals, and started game three. What was that overall experience like for you?
Being in the World Series is a great experience that I will never forget. I can't wait to hopefully make it back and get a ring.
5.) For the Cardinals, you pitched in around 70 games before being traded to the Red Sox midseason in 2014. What were the biggest differences you noticed about switching to pitching in the American League? How difficult was it to make the transition during the season?
The biggest difference is that you don't get to face the pitcher hitting. You actually have to focus on the number nine hitter and work for your out. It was hard in the middle of the season, because it was such short notice. I had to live in the hotel for two months in Boston.
6.) Throughout your career in the minors and majors, you've made the switch back and forth between the bullpen and starting rotation numerous times. How do you enable yourself to thrive in whatever role you are placed in?
I just try to keep pitching simple, whether it's in the pen or being a starter.
7.) The Red Sox made the major additions of David Price and Craig Kimbrel this past offseason to bolster your rotation and bullpen. How do you feel their presence will impact the overall makeup of the Red Sox in 2016?
I think we have a really good team, and should compete for the top spot in the AL East. Adding those two guys is huge. They are great teammates and leaders. I can't wait to play with them.
8.) After a somewhat poor start to 2015, you won eight consecutive starts from August through September before being shut down due to shoulder soreness. What do you feel you were doing differently that allowed you so much success?
I just started to locate my fastball with more consistency and mixed my off speed pitches well. I hope that I will pick up right where I left off at last season.
9.) Favorite TV show? Favorite food?
Favorite show is 'Breaking Bad', and favorite food is 'In-N-Out'.
10.) Lastly, what advice would you give to kids who are just starting out that dream of playing professional baseball one day?
I would tell kids to just have fun, throw the ball as hard as you can and swing as hard as you can. You can always teach proper mechanics later on in life.

Takeaways as Spring Training Winds Down
As history has shown us, Spring Training virtually means nothing when it comes to projecting how any given team or player will fare when the regular season actually rolls around.
In season's past, teams that "won" their leagues in the Spring wound up finishing in last place when the games actually mattered, with the opposite holding true for other teams that had poor Spring Trainings. The same applies to players, some of which vastly underperform or overperform in the Spring but return to their expected selves when April begins. For that reason, looking at the standings and stats is useless.
But that doesn't stop me from checking them out anyhow. With Spring Training nearly over, and regular season games set to begin on April 3rd, I figured I'd share some of the things I took away from a quick glimpse at the standings and stats of teams and players around the baseball world.
The Mets and Cardinals are expected to do big things in their given divisions in 2016, but you wouldn't reach that conclusion from peering at their Spring record. Each is well below .500, despite individual players on both teams shining at times. But that will inevitably change when the year actually begins.
On the flip side of things, the Phillies have a great record in the Grapefruit League, with the Rockies and Brewers doing well in the Cactus League side of things. But although they are outplaying other teams to this point, none of them are expected to do much of anything this season, with a last place division finish possible for each of them when all is said and done.
Individually, player's stats can also be somewhat misleading.
David Peralta and Christian Yelich — each of which were terrific in 2015 and have the ability to hit for a very high average — are ice cold thus far in Spring Training. However, they should easily turn things around when the true games begin. Likewise, as far as pitchers are concerned, veterans Jake Peavy and Jeff Samardzija haven't faired much better than Peralta or Yelich, as each is doing horrible this Spring. But fortunately for them, the likelihood that all of these players continue to perform at such a low level is extremely low.
So if your favorite team or player is having a terrible Spring Training, don't panic — at least not just yet. Theses things always seem to find a way of working out. But all the same, don't set your hopes too high on a player or team who is putting up stellar numbers but is expected to do poorly this year. It likely won't be able to last over the long 162-game year.
But then again, that's why the games are played. Anything is truly possible from one year to the next.
Q and A With Luke Weaver
Luke Weaver was drafted by the Cardinals in the 1st round of the 2014 draft, after posting a 2.62 ERA over 16 starts his final year at Florida State University.
Since the draft, Weaver has been even more remarkable, holding a 2.12 ERA over the course of two seasons of pro ball, including a stunning 1.62 ERA in 2015.
For his efforts this past season, Weaver was chosen to participate in the Arizona Fall League where he continued to work towards being the caliber of pitcher that he's capable of becoming.
Many believe it won't be all that long before Weaver makes it to the majors. With the stats he's posted, it would seem that Weaver is certainly poised to be on the fast track. He holds a good fastball and a changeup that many scouts marvel at, as well as a slider that he's been working on. If Weaver can continue to put it all together, he should be pitching for St. Louis before all is said and done.
Luke Weaver — top prospect in the Cardinals' organization — took the time recently to answer some of my questions:
1.) At what age did you first become interested in baseball? Who was your biggest baseball influence growing up?
I want to say around 5 years old. Those memories are a little blurring. My biggest influence was my dad. He was always there no matter what and spent countless hours helping me get better. It didn't matter what he had going on, he would always make time for me.
2.) Who was your favorite baseball player growing up? Why?
I can't say I ever had one die-hard favorite player. I always enjoyed watching a bunch of players. If I had to say one it would be Juan Pierre. I loved watching him use his speed to make things happen. He's a low key guy, who is a Christ follower and went about his business the right way. He's very involved in the community, and is a great role model all the way around.
3.) Back in your college days at FSU, you had the opportunity to pitch for the 2013 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team. What was the overall experience of that like? What did you take away from playing with some of the best college talent from around the country?
That experience was amazing. It was such an honor, not only getting to play with some of the best collegiate players out there but to wear the country's colors. I took a lot away from it. Being able to pick their brains about all kinds of things was really insightful. Getting to mesh with the fun personalities was a blast as well.
4.) You were drafted by the Cardinals in the 1st round of the 2014 draft. What was that process like for you? Where were you when you first found out? Initial thoughts?
That process was exciting but also nerve racking. Not knowing what the future had planned was a moment where I had to rely on God and trust in His plan. It meant a lot that I was able to have my family, fiancé, her family and friends join me in that moment. My thoughts were thoughtless. It was such a surreal moment where reality vanishes for a short period a time and I'm thinking, "Did that just happen?". Just an awesome night!
5.) Although you can still crank it up when needed, your fastball has seen an overall drop from consistent mid-90's in early college to lower 90's now in the minors. How (if at all) has that decrease in velocity impacted your approach when going after hitters?
When you get into professional baseball you learn that it doesn't matter how hard you throw. There are so many guys who have electric arms, so for hitters it's nothing they haven't seen before. I went through a time frame where my velocity dropped due to fatigue from a long season. It's all back now, but it is something I've been working on to see where I am comfortable pitching at; where I can be consistently efficient and have full command of all my pitches. It's all part of the process to be the best pitcher I can be.
6.) You were selected to participate in the 2015 Arizona Fall League. What type of things did you work on out there to improve as a pitcher moving forward?
I worked on a couple of things. First off trying to get these hitters out. They are super advanced and they make hitting seem like it's the easier thing out of the two. I'm always trying to work on command, but mainly staying at the bottom of the strike zone. I also worked on a slider that is coming along very nicely and will be a huge boost too for me.
7.) Is there any one stat that you pay attention to throughout the season? Or do you try to steer clear of them altogether?
Definitely try to steer clear, but if there is one stat that I try to stay attentive to it is walks. Nothing drives me more crazy than walking people.
8.) What do you feel went well in 2015? What are your goals for 2016?
I think throwing a lot of strikes and keeping the walks down was a huge part of it. Good things tend to happen when you can stay on top of those two things. I've spent a lot of time in bullpens and just playing catch to repeat my mechanics. The more comfortable and less I have to think about those things, the more I can concentrate on throwing it over the plate. [Goals for 2016 are] to continue to glorify God and the platform He has given. None of this is possible without Him. Keep growing as a pitcher and to learn some more as I go. Simple as that. Never a time when you can't learn something and get better.
9.) Favorite TV show? Favorite food?
Big 'Modern Family' guy, but more of a variety than a particular one. [For food] I would go anything Asian. They got the good figured out.
10.) Lastly, what advice would you give to kids who are just starting out that dream of playing professional baseball one day?
My advice to them is to have as much fun as possible but make sure you're working hard along the way. Practice doesn't make you perfect, it makes you better. Believe in yourself and remember to give God the Glory no matter what.

My 2015 Postseason Predictions
For the fourth straight season, I made preseason predictions as to how I felt each division would play out, and for the fourth straight season I was extremely far off. For one reason or another, I'm not very good at making division predictions before a given season begins.
This year, though, I hope to finally correctly predict how the postseason will play out. While I'll likely be off, either by a little or a lot, it's always fun to make predictions. Who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky and have a perfect prediction of how the postseason will play out. You never can tell what may happen in October.
WILD CARD GAMES (AL October 6th & NL October 7th)
American League: Yankees Vs. Astros
Winner: Yankees
It's somewhat difficult to pick a winner of this matchup. Neither one of these teams were locks to make the playoffs at all when the season began, and yet here they are. I would have to say that the Astros' lineup has more thump in it than the Yankees by a bit, but when it comes down to it, I think the bullpen will decide this game. With Masahiro Tanaka going up against Dallas Keuchel, the relievers could very well be the ultimate factor. With that said, I think the Yankees will be able to hold off the Astros and advance to the next round.
National League: Pirates Vs. Cubs
Winner: Cubs
This is another tough one to call. With it being just one game, and with Jake Arrieta going up against Gerrit Cole, you can basically flip a coin to pick which team is more likely to win. Overall, though, I think that the Cubs will have the added motivation of trying to break the century long World Series drought that will help them prevail. Even so, this is sure to be one of the best games of the entire playoffs when all is said and done. Both teams have great lineups, and each has the ability to make this an unforgettable game.
AMERICAN LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES (Begins October 8th)
Blue Jays Vs. Rangers
Winner: Blue Jays
The Rangers have a good pitching staff as well as a good lineup, but they are quite simply no match for the Blue Jays in my mind. I could easily see this being a three-game sweep by the Blue Jays if Toronto's pitchers can pitch well. Their roster, consisting of unbelievable power throughout the lineup, is more than enough to dominate the Rangers. Although the Rangers made an impressive run to even make it into the playoffs, their run will likely end in the first true round of the 2015 postseason.
Royals Vs. Yankees
Winner: Royals
After making it all the way to the World Series in 2014 — they lost to the Giants in game seven — I think the Royals will easily overtake the Yankees. The Royals have a strong team in every single aspect. From their pitching staff to their bullpen to their extremely diverse lineup, the Royals are a very formidable club. Although I'm not sure they will make it to the World Series as they did in 2014, I think they will have no problem overtaking the Yankees, despite the Yankees being a good team as well.
NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES (Begins October 9th)
Dodgers Vs. Mets
Winner: Dodgers
This is going to be a series for the ages. The Dodgers have one of the best one-two pitching staff punches in baseball history, with Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke, and their offense is one that can score a lot of runs. Likewise, the Mets have a deep pitching staff that starts with phenom Matt Harvey, and they can score runs with the best of them as well. I could see this series going down to a game five, with the team that scores first being the team that holds on to advance to the Championship series.
Cardinals Vs. Cubs
Winner: Cardinals
Unfortunately, this is where I see the Cubs' hopes for a 2015 World Championship coming to an end. They are a good team, as I previously stated, but I don't think they can withstand the team with the best record from the regular season. The Cardinals are a great team, and they know how to win. I think they will continue their winning ways and push on to the next round of the playoffs. Despite that, it should be fun to watch the Cubs put up a fight to take out the Cardinals. If absolutely everything goes perfect, they could do it, but I just don't see that happening.
AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES (Begins October 16th)
Blue Jays Vs. Royals
Winner: Blue Jays
What a series this would be. Both teams are dynamic, and both teams are very talented. However, both teams can't win. With that said, I think it will be back and forth series in every sense of the word. I think this series will take six or seven games to decide, and it will be extremely exciting to watch. In the end, however, the Jays have an extremely good team, and I see them knocking the Royals out of contention. Although the Blue Jays haven't been to the World Series since 1993, I have them making it there this year.
NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES (Begins October 17th)
Cardinals Vs. Dodgers
Winner: Dodgers
Another sure to be great series against two great teams, this is yet again a nearly impossible matchup to predict (as many of them are). It could honestly go either way, depending on an exponential number of factors. It will all come down to who is hot at the right times and which team comes up with the clutch hits. But if Kershaw can hold up against the Cardinals (something history has shown he's had a difficulty doing), I would bet my money on the Dodgers. They have the ability to make it into the World Series.
WORLD SERIES (Begins October 27th)
Blue Jays Vs. Dodgers
Winner: Dodgers
If the Blue Jays can't score runs they can't win games. That's the logic I'm using for trying to predict the World Series. Going up against the Dodgers' unbelievable pitching staff, it may be difficult for Toronto to come out on top. The Blue Jays' strength is undoubtedly their power bats, which the Dodgers don't have as much of. But the Dodgers have more than their share of good pitching, which is what usually has the edge. When all is said and done, and the season has completely come to an end, I see the Dodgers as the only team remaining, as World Series Champions.
Leave a comment with who you have winning the World Series. I'd love to hear your picks.
Excitement Building With First Place Races
From one year to the next, you never truly know what to expect in any given division race around baseball. Sometimes one team will completely blow away the rest of the teams in their division and run away with the first place spot, while other cases see multiple teams within a few games of each other down to the last game of the season. This year is more of the latter.
Of the six divisions, four of them have the second place team within three games of the first place squad (the Royals and Cardinals lead their divisions by a good margin). Furthermore, some of the teams closing in on first — or in some cases leading the division — haven't been doing so well in quite a long time.
The biggest example of that being the Astros and Mets. Each are leading their given divisions at the current moment, and each are making their push towards the playoffs years earlier than many people thought they would.
With the Angels a mere one game back of the Astros and the Nationals a game and a half removed from the Mets, the remaining games of the season should be exciting as we find out which teams can hold on to their hot seasons.
Although not in first place (at least not yet), the Blue Jays are another team that is making things very interesting in the race for first place. The Yankees, somewhat surprisingly, lead the American League East at the moment, but the surging Jays are right on their tail, at just one and a half games back. With the lineup they have, Toronto has the ability to overthrow the Yankees as the season progresses.
The Dodgers are also in the mix as far as exciting division races are concerned, despite still holding a two and a half game lead over the Giants for first. Even so, the Dodgers have been in somewhat of a slump lately (as have the Giants) and things could quickly switch around in the NL West.
No matter what happens over the coming several weeks as teams push towards October, the fact that so many teams that weren't expected to make the playoffs in 2015 are currently on their way to doing just that is exciting. If the season ended today, the Yankees, Royals, Astros, Blue Jays, Angels, Mets, Cardinals, Dodgers, Pirates and Cubs would all be headed to the postseason.
With the Astros not having made the playoffs since 2005, the Mets since 2006, Cubs since 2008 and the Blue Jays since way back in 1993, this could turn out to be the season a lot of droughts could be broken for a lot of teams. That's worth looking forward to.
Multiple 100-Game Winners In 2015?
When you think of a magic number for a pitcher in a season the first number that will likely will pop into your head is twenty wins. For a hitter, when you think of a solid season, it likely involves around a .300 average, 20-30 home runs and/or around 100 RBI's. And when you think of a so called magic number for a team as a whole, the number 100 probably stands as the number that everyone pictures each team shooting for but very few teams hitting.
While a twenty win pitcher occurs seemingly every year, and a player (or several) always reaches the aforementioned magic numbers for a hitter, it is becoming more and more rare for a team to pick up 100 wins in a season. In fact, there hasn't been a single 100-game winner in all of baseball since the 2011 Phillies. Taking things even deeper, two or more teams haven't reached the 100-win mark in a single season since 2004, after a streak of multiple 100-game winner from 1998 through 2004 (with the exception of 2000).
It would appear, however, that both droughts could be broken in 2015.
With that in mind, I decided to take a look at the division winners from 2014 — the teams with the best shot at making a strong run in 2015 — and attempt to project how many, if any, of the teams could potentially obtain 100 wins in 2015:
2014 American League Division Winners
East – Orioles (96-66): The Baltimore Orioles completely blew away all of the competition in the American League East last season, winning by a total of twelve games over the second place Yankees. But while they were a terrific ball club last season, things are likely going to take a bit of a downfall in the coming season.
The biggest reason for the fall being that they O's lost a good chunk of their offense via trades and free agency throughout the past few months. No longer possessing slugger Nelson Cruz, veteran outfielder Nick Markakis or reliever Andrew Miller, things are sort of up in the air for how the Orioles will perform in 2015.
Therefore, even if they surprise some people, I don't think they'll be able to pull off the stunning feat of winning 100+ games.
Central – Tigers (90-72): For the Detroit Tigers, they are a particularly intruiging team. For the past couple of years, there's no reason they shouldn't have been able to pull off a 100-win season, playing in somewhat of a weaker division, however, the Tigers have disappointed to a degree.
Having a great lineup and pitching staff, the Tigers have recently been in the preseason World Series predictions by a number of people throughout the baseball world. But things just haven't panned out.
Having lost Max Scherzer — their undeniable ace of the pitching staff — to the Nationals, and with certain players not performing up to their potential, I'd say it's going to be tough for the Tigers to even hold off the Royals from taking the division crown. A 100-win season was doable over the past few seasons, but the opportunity for them has come and gone.
West – Angels (98-64): The Angels fall into a category much like the Tigers. The slightly more successful version of Detroit, many people saw the Angels winning it all in 2012 after the acquisition of Albert Pujols, but injuries and underperformance in general have caused the Angels to come up short.
But falling just two wins shy of the coveted 100-win plateau in 2014, things look promising that the Angels could become the first team in four years to hit triple digits.
Their lineup is there — with the exception of Josh Hamilton, who is a huge question mark — and their pitching is good as well.
The only thing standing in their way are the other teams in the West. The Athletics — despite an offseason deconstruction — always seem to be in the mix, and the Mariners are very good as well. It will be exciting to see what happens.
2014 National League Division Winners
East – Nationals (96-66): Without question, the number one team to watch throughout the 2015 season is the Washington Nationals. After putting together a 96-win season last year — winning the National League East division by a major league best 17 games over the Braves — the Nationals could likely make a run at 100 wins if they put out the exact same roster from 2014. But their roster is better than last season — much better.
Picking up Max Scherzer who has gone 39-8 with a 3.02 ERA over the past two seasons, their pitching staff is the top one or two in all of baseball. If Scherzer can continue to pitch as he has over the recent history of his career, and if supposed phenoms Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg can finally put up super star caliber numbers, the sky is truly the limit for what appears to be an extremely dominant Nationals team.
Central – Cardinals (90-72): I am a strong believer that the National League Central Cubs will make a run at the postseason as soon as 2015, but they by no means will win 100 games. The Cardinals, though, stand a chance, however slight it may be. Given, it would have to be a ten win jump from their record in 2014, the Cardinals are one of those teams that could surprise some people.
With a decent rotation that includes the always reliable Adam Wainwright, and a lineup that possesses All-Star catcher Yadier Molina, who can make any pitcher look like a former Cy Young winner, the Red Birds will win a lot of games moving forward. The division isn't extremely strong, and their track record has proven that the Cardinals can go on a run with the best of them. Still, it won't likely add up to a 100-win year for them.
West – Dodgers (94-68): A pitching rotation that includes Clayton Kershaw is always sure to be a terrific one. But the Dodgers' staff doesn't begin and end with Kershaw. He's their best pitcher, no doubt, but the addition of Brandon McCarthy to go along with Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu will go a long way in a 2015 quest for 100+ wins.
But the Dodgers will be without on and off superstar Matt Kemp in the outfield — the hope is that Joc Pederson will fill the role there — and the loss of Dee Gordon and Dan Haren will certainly have an impact. The lack of those players could be enough to keep them from winning the division like they were able to do in 2014.
Nonetheless, despite all of the losses, the pickup of veteran infielder Jimmy Rollins in addition to promising backstop Yasmani Grandal should lead to a decent enough lineup. If I had to guess, though, the Giants will be riding them too closely for the Dodgers to break 100 wins.
In conclusion, while every season is unpredictable, this year could see a 100-game winner (or two) for the first time in four seasons. But even if that doesn't happen, there are teams such as the Cubs, White Sox and Padres who will make legitimate playoff runs after failing to do so in quite some time. That alone is enough to cause any baseball fan to continue counting down the days until Opening Day.
Monday Sees Two Major Deals & One Big Trade
Monday was certainly a big day in the baseball world.
Not only did one of the game's biggest stars sign a contract unprecedented in the history of the sport — or any sport anywhere for that matter — but a catcher from the Steel City was locked up by the Blue Jays long term, and the Cardinals and Braves swapped players to help fill each others needs.
It was all very interesting to follow.
Giancarlo Stanton kicked off the news filled day, finally signing the mammoth contract that everyone knew would eventually come. While many people predicted it would come from a team other than the Marlins, the Marlins were in fact the team that got a deal with Stanton done.
A team that was at the bottom, in terms of team combined payroll, this past season, the Marlins locked up Stanton to a 13-year, 325 million dollar deal (the largest in the history of North American sports).
In addition to being so large, Stanton's deal comes with a full no-trade clause — previously unheard of for the Marlins' franchise — as well as an opt-out clause after the 2020 season. Having just turned 25 year old, the Marlins logic behind this major contract to such an impact player, who has legitimate 40+ home run a season potential, can easily be understood.
Despite a season ending injury in September, Stanton posted career numbers this year, batting .288 with 37 home runs and 105 RBI's, and finishing second in National League Most Valuable Player voting.
Tied with Dan Uggla for the most home runs in Marlins' franchise history, with 154, Stanton will undoubtedly pass that mark early on in 2015, having hit over 20 home runs every single year of his five career seasons. A two-time All-Star, Stanton will surely go on to set numerous records while in a Marlins uniform now that this contract is officially in place, and could go down as one of the best sluggers in baseball history once all is said and done.
But Stanton wasn't the only player that was locked up to a sizeable contract on Monday.
Also getting signed on the day was veteran catcher, Russell Martin, who agreed to an 82 million dollar contract over the course of the next five years from the Blue Jays.
Playing his last two seasons with the Pirates, after time spent between the Yankees and the Dodgers since his debut in 2006, Martin has been an up and down player over the course of his career, but should be an impact player for the Jays.
A three-time All-Star, Martin had a break out season in 2014, hitting .290 with 11 home runs and 67 RBI's over 111 games played.
Previously a combined .234 hitter over his past five seasons, including a career low .211 in 2012, Martin truly made a name for himself this past year, and should make the Blue Jays glad they snagged him.
While Giancarlo Stanton and Russell Martin both signed contracts with their given teams, there was a big trade between the Cardinals and Braves that everyone was talking about as well.
The Cardinals received Jason Heyward and Jordan Walden in exchange for Shelby Miller and minor league prospect Tyrell Jenkins, who got sent back to the Braves. Though none of these players can be categorized as major stars, at least as of yet, they all have the ability to be key pieces of each team moving forward, and the trade truly made sense for both sides.
With their starting rotation being one of their many issues from the 2014 season, the additions of Shelby Miller and Tyrell Jenkins (both former first round draft picks) will likely do wonders for the Braves in the coming years.
Miller, who hasn't yet been the consistent starter many envision him becoming, was decent in 2014, posting a 3.74 ERA on the season. As was Jenkins, who notched an ERA just above three over 13 minor league starts this year. Each of them have the capability to be standout players.
In the same way that the Braves needed starting pitching, the Cardinals found themselves in need of a good everyday right fielder, after the unexpected loss of their future superstar right fielder, Oscar Taveras. Jason Heyward certainly fills that role, though he hasn't yet lived up to his superstar potential.
While Heyward has won a couple of Gold Gloves in his career with the Braves, making a lone All-Star appearance in his rookie season, he's only a career .262 hitter. In addition, since a breakout year in 2012 when Heyward blasted 27 home runs and drove in 82 runs, he hasn't notched more than 14 homers or upwards of 58 RBI's in any single season.
Even so, Heyward is the type of player that can instantly improve any club he's on. Gaining him (along with Jordan Walden, who posted a 2.88 ERA in 2014) can only help the Cardinals as they look to make another playoff run in 2015.
Nationals, Giants Tie Postseason Game Record
After a fantastic outing by their starting pitcher, Jordan Zimmermann, the Washington Nationals appeared to be on their way to tying up the National League Division Series at a game apiece with the San Francisco Giants when they held a 1-0 lead heading into the top of the ninth inning on Saturday night. But a Pablo Sandoval RBI double, which extended his postseason hitting streak to thirteen straight games, quickly let the air out of an ecstatic Nationals team.
And things only got worse from there.
With the Nationals failing to win the game in the bottom of the ninth, the game proceeded to remain scoreless for the following eight innings. Upon reaching the 18th inning, the game subsequently tied the record for number of innings in postseason game history, set back in 2005.
Following the extended run drought, the Giants finally changed things in the top of the 18th inning with a solo shot off the bat of Brandon Belt, who was previously 0-6, giving the Giants a 2-1 lead.
The Nationals would send Danny Espinosa, Denard Span, Anthony Rendon — whose four hits on the night set a new franchise playoff record — and Jayson Werth to the plate in the bottom half, but they did little of anything against the Giants' flamethrower, Hunter Strickland.
With the final out recorded, the game officially broke the playoff record for game length of 5 hours and 50 minutes set in 2005, lasting a staggering 6 hours and 23 minutes. The series now heads to San Francisco, with the Giants one win away from advancing to the National League Championship Series.
Although it's not decided yet who the Giants will play if they wind up overtaking the Nationals, either the Dodgers or the Cardinals will be in for a battle. I have to admit I didn't give the Giants, who have now won ten straight postseason games, nearly enough credit with my postseason predictions. They really have impressed me so far.
Having won the World Series in 2010 and 2012, they're somewhat jokingly (and somewhat seriously) in line to possibly win the World Series again, in this yet another even calendar year. Although the Fall Classic is another couple of weeks away, and the Giants have several key games to get through first before they have any shot at World Series glory, you have to be happy with how things are looking if you're a fan of the Giants.
My 2014 Postseason Predictions
For the third straight season I made preseason predictions as to how I felt each division would play out, and for the third straight season I was extremely far off. For one reason or another, I'm not very good at making division predictions before a given season begins. However, with that said, last year when I did playoff predictions for the very first time I correctly predicted the World Series matchup of the Cardinals taking on the Red Sox. Unfortunately, I picked the Cardinals to come out victorious, which ultimately didn't happen, but I was still thrilled that I successfully picked the final two teams.
This year, though, I hope to take it one step further and get the World Series winner correct as well. While I'll likely be off, either by a little or a lot, it's always fun to make predictions. Who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky and have a perfect prediction of how the postseason will play out. You never can tell what may happen in October.
WILD CARD GAMES (AL September 30th & NL October 1st)
American League: Royals Vs. Athletics
Winner: Royals
Both the Royals and Athletics have had their share of ups and downs throughout the 2014 season. Neither one has a group of players that makes them definitively better than the other, and that makes it hard to predict the winner of the one game, win or go home matchup. Even so, I'm picking the Royals to pull out the win over the visiting A's. While their offense has struggled at times, their bullpen is one of the best in baseball. If the Royals can go into the late innings with a lead, it's as close to a sure thing as you can get.
National League: Pirates Vs. Giants
Winner: Giants
The Pirates made it to the postseason in 2013 for the fist time since 1992, winning the Wild Card game against the Reds and moving on to the division series only to be beaten out by the Cardinals. This time around, however, I don't even have them making it that far. The Giants are looking to come into town and pick up the win that will ensure a five game series against the Nationals, and I feel that their pitching, as well as their overall offense, outranks the Pirates' team in a one game situation.
AMERICAN LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES (Begins October 2nd)
Angels Vs. Royals
Winner: Angels
Although I have the Royals winning the Wild Card game against the Athletics, I don't see their first playoff run since 1985 lasting past the division series. Going up against a really good offensive Angels team, the Royals will certainly be in for a challenge if they want to prove me wrong. The only question mark for the Angels that would give the Royals a true chance is their starting pitching. With no true ace that you can count on, you never know how the Angels will fare. But I think they will hit just enough to win the series.
Orioles Vs. Tigers
Winner: Tigers
This is going to be a very good series matchup, and I can't really say for sure who will win. But I'm going with my gut that the Tigers will find a way to get the job done, despite their flaws. While the Orioles have one of the best hitting clubs in baseball, with major threats up and down the lineup, their pitching isn't nearly as deep as the Tigers. If they want to make things hard on the Tigers, they'll have to post some great pitching performances. But although that could happen, I see the Tigers moving on to the championship series.
NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES (Begins October 3rd)
Nationals Vs. Giants
Winner: Nationals
The Nationals taking on the Giants would be a good series, but I don't think it will be too difficult for the Nationals to move on. Taking nothing away from the Giants, who are certainly a good team of players, I don't feel they stack up against the Nationals very well at all. The Nationals have very few holes from top to bottom in both their offense and pitching. With five good starters that can go out and win big games when you need them to, it would take nothing short of a disaster for the Nats to get beaten out by the Giants.
Dodgers Vs. Cardinals
Winner: Dodgers
Pairing two of the best teams in the National League against one another, this is by far the best guaranteed-to-happen matchup of the postseason, in my mind. While the other games are sure to be exciting, this series could easily come down to a game five, with either team taking the division series title. With the Cardinals and Dodgers both having amazing teams, it's basically a coin flip for which one will move on. But I have to give a slight edge to the Dodgers — however slight an edge it may be.
AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES (Begins October 10th)
Angels Vs. Tigers
Winner: Angels
As good as the Tigers pitching staff can be, and as bad as the Angels staff can be, it was difficult for me to select the Angels as the winners of the series. But I feel the Angels have a good enough team to beat out the Tigers, should they have any sort of issues scoring runs or pitching well, which I envision them having. Though many people are picking the Tigers to make it to the World Series, with some going as bold with their predictions as to giving them the World Series title, I have that spot reserved for the Angels.
NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES (Begins October 11th)
Nationals Vs. Dodgers
Winner: Dodgers
Another sure to be great series against two great teams, this is yet again a nearly impossible matchup to predict (as many of them are). If the Nationals end up taking on the Dodgers in the National League Championship series as I'm predicting, the baseball world could be in for some extremely thrilling games. Both teams have good pitching staffs and offenses that can seemingly score at will at times. What it will come down to is which of the teams is hot at the right time. For me, I'm putting my money on the Dodgers.
WORLD SERIES (Begins October 21st)
Angels Vs. Dodgers
Winner: Angels
A World Series matchup between the Angels and Dodgers would be incredible for baseball fans everywhere around the country. Not only are the two ballparks a mere thirty miles apart, but this would also be a Fall Classic matchup of two of the best teams in their given divisions. With both the Dodgers and Angels having good lineups, this could be a back and forth series. But regardless of their pitching being an issue, I feel the Angels will find a way to go the distance, coming out on top over the Dodgers.
Leave a comment with who you have winning the World Series. I'd love to hear your picks.

Wichita Falls has plans to turn a tract of land north of Henrietta into another man-made reservoir. In fact, they've been planning it for half a century.
"The lake sight has been indenitfied since the 60's," explained Daniel Nix, the Public Utilities Operations Manager with Wichita Falls, "the same time we identified Arrowhead as a lake site."
Nix said the City is in the process right now of working with State resource agencies, studying the best way to go about putting in a lake.
He said eventually, the $300-400 million project will be a reality.
But the area reserved for the new reservoir looks pretty open today, and City officials said they plan on keeping it that way for some time.
"Given the hoops you have to go through to build a reservoir sight," said Nix, "you're not going to see this reservoir built for another 30 to 40 years."
30 to 40 years, almost as long as it's been since the City bought part of the land they'll need to build Lake Ringgold from Macon Boddy.
"I'm not in any particular hurry to build this reservoir," said Boddy, "but any more droughts like last year and it might be the only water I have."
Macon said his father was originally approached by Wichita Falls about the land, but he was the Boddy that pulled the trigger on the deal.
Under the rules of his contract with Wichita Falls, Macon leases the land and works it just as he's always done.
But he knows eventually, much of his property may be along a lake.
"As we know, water in the State of Texas [is] precious," said Macon, "and [we know] how much [water] there's going to have to be, and this way nobody can build that lake without Wichita Falls."

Correlation of Link Outages in Low-Mobility Spatial Wireless Networks
In this paper, the authors consider a network where the nodes' locations are modeled by a realization of a Poisson point process and remain fixed or change very slowly over time. Most of the literature focuses on the spatial average of the link outage probabilities. But each link in the network has an associated link-outage probability that depends on the fading, path loss, and the relative locations of the interfering nodes. Since the node locations are random, the outage probability of each link is a random variable and in this paper they obtain its distribution, instead of just the spatial average. This paper supplements the existing results which focus mainly on the average outage probability averaged over space.

Forest Service Reloads Assault On Colorado Roadless Area
Coal is dirty.
It's the dirty fuel that gives us mercury in our lakes, acid rain in our skies, carbon pollution, leaky ash ponds, and scraped-off mountains and buried streams in Appalachia.
The Latest On: Roadless Rule
Coal is dirty.
It's the dirty fuel that gives us mercury in our lakes, acid rain in our skies, carbon pollution, leaky ash ponds, and scraped-off mountains and buried streams in Appalachia.
Nearly 50 million acres of America's most pristine public forest lands remain protected today, thanks to a decision this afternoon by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals denying a last-ditch effort by the State of Wyoming and the Colorado Mining Association to overturn the U.S. Forest Service Roadless Area Conservation Rule, more commonly known as the Roadless Rule.
As fall turns to winter, President Obama has continued his virtually unbroken streak of bending over backwards for the coal industry in the West. For those who love Western public lands and could do without more subsidies to Big Coal, Mr. Obama has been more Grinch than Santa.
Last month, protection for nearly 50 million acres of wild lands was resoundingly affirmed in a court decision that will benefit future generations.
<In a major victory for Earthjustice and its supporters, today the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated The Roadless Rule, which protects nearly 50 million acres of National Forest lands against exploitation. Tom Turner, who literally wrote the book ("Roadless Rules") on the case, provides some background here.>
Perhaps inspired by the triple-digit heat afflicting Washington D.C., the House of Representatives is putting legislative flames to our important environmental and public health protections.
The Environmental Protection Agency found much room for improvement when it weighed in on the Forest's Service environmental impact statement that analyzes a proposed rule to weaken protection for roadless lands in Colorado.
One of the great joys of living in the Rockies is taking a summer stroll in a high meadow, surrounded by wildflowers - violet lupines, deep red skyrockets, purple larkspur, penstemons, 6-foot gentians, and many others.
The long and winding saga of the Roadless Rule, adopted in the Clinton administration after an exhaustive public process, just took a new turn, though it smacks of desperation.
To recap, the Roadless Rule was put in place to protect 58.5 million acres of undeveloped and otherwise unprotected land on the national forests. The rule has been subject of nine lawsuits. An appeals court in Denver has yet to rule on a lawsuit out of Wyoming; the others have concluded with the Roadless Rule still standing.
Earthjustice is the premier nonprofit environmental law organization. We wield the power of law and the strength of partnership to protect people's health, to preserve magnificent places and wildlife, to advance clean energy, and to combat climate change. We are here because the earth needs a good lawyer.

2011 Best Supporting Actress Oscar Contenders

You rarely ever see a former Academy Award winner repeat in this field. In fact, the last time that occurred was when Dianne Wiest won her second statue for "Bullets Over Broadway" in 1994. Oh, and guess whose back in contention in this category this year? Wiest. The legendary actress has her own trends to overcome to duplicate that feat here, but it doesn't bode well for other potential nominees such as Marion Cotillard. Still, among all the acting races this year, best supporting actress may be the most wide open. Not just to win, but to land a nod. With that in mind, let's review the 20 contenders vying for those precious five slots.

Conventional wisdom says that an automatic car wash is the best thing for the environment. But I was wondering -- is there a way that I can wash my car DIY style and minimize water use and the disposal of soapy residue into the storm drain or the nearby pond? I've been washing my family's cars since I could hold a rag. I never honestly even gave much thought about the environmental impact of washing cars until I was already 9 years old and my hometown was subject to watering … [Read more...]
Wildlife Conservation: 3 Unique Wildlife Tours In The U.S. That Support Conservation Efforts

Now I want to talk about wildlife conservation tourism – yet another exciting concept designed to support ecology and conservation as a whole. Wildlife tourism is one of the most popular methods now for funding environmental conservation while also instilling among tourists a sense of appreciation and curiosity for animals and their special habitats. Think about it this way: wouldn't you be a little … [Read more...]
How To Save Water In The Bathroom: 3 DIY Ways To Avoid Wasting Bathroom Water
If you were to ask someone back in the day the best way to conserve water in the bathroom, the most common answer would probably be: "Turn off the faucet when you're brushing your teeth!" And yes, that's true – we waste tons of water if we let the faucet run while we're scrubbing our pearly whites. At the same time, there are even more ways to cut back on our H2O usage and conserve water, energy, and cash all at the same time. Although these are not technically brand-new ideas, not many … [Read more...]
Green Shower Tips: 3 Simple Ways To Make Showering More Environmentally Friendly
Green living extends to our daily shower habits. If you think about it, we use a lot of water and other resources when we take a shower each day. In fact, roughly 25% of indoor household water consumption goes to bathing: A 10-minute shower uses about 40 gallons. A bath takes around 37 gallons. I never even realized just how much water I was using bathing and showering until I took an environmental studies course when I was in college. So, as it would seem, living a green … [Read more...]

3 Things You (And The Planet) Don't Need
When writing 50 Things Your Life Doesn't Need, my main goal was to help people find their passion by getting rid of nearly everything else that they didn't care about. But, as I began to challenge people to clean out clutter, a deep interest of mine reared its head (and this is a good thing). As it turns out, when you eliminate excess from your life, you do some good for Mother Nature. Best of all, you may be the kind of person who's passionate about our planet, and I firmly believe that … [Read more...]

The popularity of personal plates is growing all the time. At Regtransfers.co.uk we have seen the sales figures that prove it. We have more customers now than we have ever had, and we see a growing number of people who already own a private registration coming back to us to purchase additional registrations for second cars or for other family members.
In addition to the obvious appeal of a striking set of private number plates on their cars, many of these people tell us that they are buying private registrations as gifts. Similarly we hear more and more customers saying that they have high hopes for the investment potential of the registrations they buy from us.
The investment aspect does seem to be becoming an increasing factor, and we have seen a number of people who bought their marks from us a year or two ago coming back to us in order to sell them. Happily, some of these cherished plates have returned a significant profit to the seller.
At Regtransfers.co.uk we do our best to categorise all the car registrations we offer for sale according to the interest or niche to which they might appeal most. We feature themed searches which enable people to select private number plates that best correspond with their interests and requirements.
Perhaps the widest selection we have does, however, defy easy categorisation. The many 'initials' plates we have available are a class of their own. There are simply so many combinations available that the vast range offers something for just about every searcher. But not everyone wants their initials, despite the obvious customisation possibilities, and the excellent value that initials plates represent. As we have mentioned, many purchasers select their private number plates with a view to resale, so they wisely opt for the numbers with the widest possible appeal. This is where our themed searches come into their own. Simply click on the "Find Number Plates" link in the left hand menu to see the many options we have prepared for you.

The Third Annual Native Nation Events' Leadership Solutions Group: General Managers' Exchange will take place on February 22nd-23rd, 2016 at Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego, CA. This event will bring together GMs from Tribally-owned casinos for two days of professional, moderator-led round table discussions, small group break-out sessions,peer-to-peer dialogues and plenty of networking opportunities. This is a C-Level event to build alliances within your industry. The General Managers' Exchange is about the expressing of common concerns and the sharing of information.
This is an outstanding prospecting opportunity for our FORUM PARTNERS to meet and establish professional connections, in a casual environment, with GMs who have discretion over multi-million dollar budgets. The time and costs associated with this event are small when compared to those for coordination of travel and scheduling on your own; the opportunity to connect with so many members of this prestigious crowd would take months.
This is not an exhibit hall style event. Exclusivity and access to these General Managers is the key for each FORUM PARTNER to maximize their ROI. FORUM PARTNER Executives will be with the attendees during scheduled meetings, meals and all social events.
Please call 201-857-5333 for updates or more information.

Take a look at who has attended our previous two General Managers' Exchanges.
Campbell Jamieson, Diamond Mountain Casino & Hotel
"Not only were the presentations awesome, but the roundtable input from the incredible brain-trust and experience around that table was invaluable beyond words. To hear what worked and what didn't work, with hard data to back it up…..it just can't be duplicated anywhere else."
Dave Matheson, Coeur D'Alene Casino Resort Hotel
"Fantastic! Where else can you get in front of dozens of GMs for two days with no interruption?"
Linda Roe, Thalden-Boyd-Emery Architects
"Great event – perfect on time and number of days."
Che Downs, Kickapoo Casino
"…It is a rare enjoyment to be in the company of top tier operators that are willing to share their valuable insights. The facilitators did a masterful job orchestrating and keeping us on task and productive."
Scott Sirois, Soboba Casino
"Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?"
Chris White, Otoe-Missouria Gaming
"Great exchange. Good interactions. Liked the group sharing ideas."
Kathy George, Firekeepers Casino Hotel
"Well run and attended by General Managers."
Eric Tom, IGT
"I think the most valuable takeaway was understanding the processes and systems the different casinos have in place to meet their challenges. There was a lot of time for conversation – especially the last day when we broke into small groups and attacked our own respective dilemmas."
Randy Takemoto, Cache Creek Casino Resort
"A great development opportunity for casino General Managers."
Gary Murrey, Apache Gold Casino and Resort
"I enjoyed this very much and will attend others in the future!"

It was a crazy year of sports in Michigan.
We rode the emotional roller coaster from the ball dropping to start 2009, through Sunday watching Drew Stanton prove he doesn't belong in the NFL.
Here are some of the huge sports highlights in Michigan the past 12 months:
1. Tom Izzo and the Michigan State basketball team making it to the Final Four at Ford Field. The only thing that could eclipse that would be for the Detroit Lions to win a Super Bowl at home.
2. The Detroit Red Wings getting to the Stanley Cup finals for a second consecutive year.3. Enjoying the Detroit Tigers in a pennant race from May until October.
4. Notre Dame hiring Brian Kelly, the former Central Michigan and Grand Valley State football coach.
5. Central Michigan's football season. Earning a Top-25 ranking for the first time in school history was a great final ride for Butch Jones and Dan LeFevour. Chippewas fans have never had it this good.
6. Tiger Woods coming to Michigan and winning the would-be final Buick Open at Warwick Hills in front of a record crowds.
7. Lions winning not one, but two games.
8. Seeing some hope for the future in the arm of Lions QB Matthew Stafford.
9. Waiting every five days to see Detroit Tigers rookie Rick Porcello pitch. That kid is special.
10. The early "wow" factor from University of Michigan freshman quarterback Tate Forcier, who would cool down considerably to the gentleman ways of MSU quarterback Kirk Cousins, who has the chance to be the best arm to ever wear a Spartan uniform.
Top nine tough sports moments in Michigan in 2009:
1. Hearing that Ernie Harwell has inoperable cancer. It was like someone told us our grandfather didn't have long to live.
2. Watching the Tigers blow a three-game lead with four games remaining in the regular season at home. Manager Jim Leyland's lack of urgency the final month, including a playoff game against the Minnesota Twins, let loyal fans down.3. Michigan football going from 4-0 and ranked No. 18 to no bowl for the second consecutive year. The headlines and poor performance has coach Rich Rodriguez and his staff needing to make it to a bowl game next season. It will be hard to watch him for a fourth year if he doesn't deliver.
4. The Red Wings losing Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals in Detroit. We never knew how injured the Red Wings were until we saw the Pittsburgh Penguins celebrating with the Cup. I still wonder why Justin Abdelkader was a nightly scratch after a hot start in the finals.
5. Watching Detroit Pistons coach Michael Curry blow up the team. Joe Dumars, Detroit's president of basketball operations, set the franchise back at least two years by hiring his buddy.
6. The end of the Buick Open in Grand Blanc. That was one of the great sporting events I have ever watched. It's tough to see hard working people be stripped of a yearly golf ritual.
7. The Lions' season. Outside of a few promising rookies, this team looks worse than they did last year when they went 0-16.
8. Running back Glenn Winston reinstated to the Michigan State football team. The fact that coach Mark Dantonio still is answering questions about him 14 months later proves he never should had allowed him to return. Winston was a distraction for the Spartans on and off the field. I'm all about second chances in sports and saving kids when there is no violence involved and harm is only done to one's self.
9. The Michigan men's basketball team's start to the 2009 season. Like the football team, the Wolverines were a Top-20 team that now is fighting for the postseason before even starting Big Ten play. It will take a miracle conference run for this team to get back to the NCAA tournament.
10 predictions for 2010
1. Green Bay Packers win the Super Bowl.
2. The Michigan State basketball team bows out in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament after finishing second to Purdue in the Big Ten race.
3. Michigan basketball misses the NCAA tourney.
5. The Pistons are the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs and don't win a series.
6. The Tigers win 81 games and finish second in the AL Central.
7. The Michigan State football team wins eight games
8. Rodriguez saves his job after Michigan wins six games.
9. Kelly wins nine games in his first year at Notre Dame
10. The Lions win only four games and have lowest attendance totals in team history.

The best hotel in the city
Constructed about 100 years ago in 1907 the hotel is considered the best in the city. There is a cinema, diving-center, a night club and other. However this hotel simultaneously is the most expensive.
Unique Quality: The hotel is located on Lenin's quay 35/2.

Expensive but worth it!!!
I've stayed in quite a few hotels in America but none compare to Oreanda Hotel. It is very expensive, and it will take me awhile to pay for staying at this fabulous hotel. But I dont regret it. The rooms are exquisite and the views they offer are even better.
Unique Quality: A private beach, an indoor Sea pool, an outdoor pool, a bowling alley, a night club, pool tables, and a massage parlor are just a few of the reasons to stay at this fine hotel. They also have a very nice bar, restaurant (very expensive and not that good), a cafe, hairdresser, and a manicurist. Plus much more. The staff is very professional and friendly and will do whatever it takes to make your stay there that much more enjoyable. And it is located right in the heart of Yalta--walk out the front doors and you are surrounded by cafes, shops, and a hell of a view everywhere you look!! If you dont mind spending some of your hard earned money and being treated like a king or queen then I would recommend the Oreanda Hotel. But at the same time, you dont have to stay at the Oreanda Hotel to enjoy Yalta---you will have a great time no matter where you stay!!!!
Directions: Middle of Yalta
Beach Hotel
The prices vary and start from $75.
I did not stay at this hotel, but visited my German friends who had a room there.
The room was nice and overlooked the yard, not the beach.
I stayed at a hostel about 40 minutes walk from the beach.
Unique Quality: located right on the central beach;
There is a nightclub called Matrix MegaDance Club.
Directions: One more phone number: 8 (068) 487-46-43

The Prem Rawat Foundation
Rating: 5 stars 36 36 reviews
PO Box 24-1498 Los Angeles CA 90024 USA
The Prem Rawat Foundation strives to address fundamental human needs so that people everywhere can live their lives with dignity, peace, and prosperity.
Food for People is a food aid program designed to help rural communities emerge from the downward cycle of poverty. Developed in close cooperation with village elders, two facilities are in operation. One opened in 2006 in Bantoli, India and the other opened in 2009 in the Dhading District of Nepal. Each serves over 130,000 meals a year to children and elderly or ill adults per year with the objective of enabling children to go to school and malnourished adults to gain strength needed to return to work. A third Food for People facility is under development in Ghana and slated to open in 2011.

Reviews for The Prem Rawat Foundation
5 people found this review helpful
I've had the chance to serve on the Board of Directors for two non-profits, as a Programs Director of a third, and currently as a partner in a company that provides fundraising services to this sector. I have three observations about TPRF that I'd like to share.
First, by many criteria, TPRF is a tiny organization. But its size belies its impact. It leverages its effectiveness through partnerships with larger entities that respect its management and responsiveness. Over 50 such charitable organizations have co-ventured with TPRF on urgent humanitarian projects dealing with food or water - organizations such as Oxfam and Mercy Corps.
Secondly, it publishes externally audited financial statements annually. It should be noted that it surpasses the high standards for financial transparency as recognized by third parties such as Charity Navigator and GuideStar.
And finally, it distinguishes itself in its peace work. It actively creates programs that address peace as a basic human right, like the right to food and water. And while it does this at a very human and individual level, the uniqueness of this work has been recognized by significant global entities such as the United Nations Association and the European Parliament.
In summary, the actions of TPRF over the past 11 years have withstood the tests of time and scrutiny and speak with much more authority than I ever could.
More Feedback
How does this organization compare with others in the same sector?

In Seattle, "IE6" was a trending topic on Twitter thanks to a CNN story on Aten Design Group's funeral for Internet Explorer 6. The tongue-in-cheek memorial is happening this evening in Denver.
Those mourning the antiquated Web browser, but unable to attend, were asked to send flowers. So, guess who sent flowers.
In the twitpic photo above, a funeral guest is showing off the card that arrived with Microsoft's bouquet. It's a little hard to read, so I asked Microsoft to confirm the text.
