As we were running through the list of vehicles eligible for the 2010 Motor Trend Sport/Utility of the Year award, I realized with a shock that only one — Toyota's new 4Runner — came anywhere near what might be considered the archetypal SUV. The new 4Runner is a truck in a tux; a rugged off-roader (depending on spec — the entry-level model is only two-wheel drive) that's been civilized for life in the urban jungle. It's the most recent interpretation of a formula established by the Jeep Wagoneer, finessed by the Range Rover, and taken mainstream by the original Ford Explorer.
Powered by cheap gas and fuel economy regulations biased in favor of trucks over cars, SUVs had become the lucrative new heartland of the American auto market by the late 1990s. So much so that GM, Ford, and Chrysler devoted their development dollars to little else, with, it could be argued, dire consequences for their car businesses.
There's been a not-so-subtle attempt to rebrand the genre in the past couple of years as something newer, cooler, more carlike, and more fuel efficient: the crossover. But marketing alchemy can't disguise the trace elements of truck DNA that make an SUV an SUV, no matter what it looks like or what it's called. These trace elements include: (1) a high ride height and high seating position; (2) a two-box body and multi-function interior that allows a combination of seating or load-carrying configurations; (3) the availability of all-wheel drive.
These trace elements are what link the 11 vehicles eligible for this year's award — Acura ZDX, Audi Q5, Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, Lexus RX, Lincoln MKT, Mercedes-Benz GLK, Subaru Outback, Volvo XC60, and, of course, the 4Runner. Look past the edgy lines of the ZDX, the boulevardier pomp of the MKT, the sensible-shoes stance of the Outback, or the restrained Euro-chic style of the Q5, and you'll find them.
In terms of vehicle package, presentation, and intended function, the Sport/Utility of the Year field is now almost as diverse as that of Car of the Year, where sports cars and minivans vie for the award against family sedans and luxury limos. This year's group of 11 contenders includes a number of standout candidates, but only one will be named Motor Trend's 2010 Sport/Utility of the Year.
Log on to motortrend.com Thursday morning, Oct. 15, to find out whether you've picked the winner.

February Blogging Plans
I don't really like to do too many of these type of blog posts. They mainly just serve as fillers when I have nothing else to blog about (like right now), but I suppose they're also good, in a way, as they let you all know what to expect in the coming month.
As I'm sure you're aware, today is the first day of February — a month that brings baseball, once again, in the form of Spring Training games. While I'm, unfortunately, not going to be heading down to any games in person, I am going to be blogging about it all, and in addition, am going to be giving my predictions for the coming season between now and the start on March 22nd. (Most of the predictions will come in March, however.)
My first planned post for this month (after this one) will cover the through the mail (TTM) autograph requests I'm sending out to players at the different MLB camps. I did the same thing last year, and have been sending out autograph requests for the past few seasons, so I always enjoy talking about it. (I'll also be posting an update periodically whenever I receive two or three autographs back, whenever that may be.)
After that, things should pick up a bit — including the amount of baseball news.
I have an interview with the 2013 number one overall draft pick, Mark Appel, coming up this month, which is probably one of the most interesting interviews I've every done. It was apparent that Appel put a lot of effort into the questions, as he had a ton to say with each answer. (I always appreciate it when guys do that.)
I'll probably do another interview — more than likely with Phillies third baseman, Cody Asche — towards the end of the month. That'll leave just one more month (March) with interviews. I'll be posting either one or two, depending on a few factors that I won't discuss now.
Other than the interviews, I'll just be writing about the baseball news as it happens.
Keep in mind, none of this is set in stone. I may rearrange things, or exclude them altogether. It's just a basic outline to give an overall idea of what to expect in the coming month.
With so many players switching teams in the offseason, and the newcomers such as Masahiro Tanaka making their first official appearance with their teams, it should be an interesting next few weeks.
Spring Training games are now just over three weeks away . . . .
Fastest & Slowest Starts to the 2013 MLB Season
We're just over a week into the 2013 MLB regular season, and I wanted to post a blog, just like last year, on the fastest and slowest starts to the season for both entire teams and individual players. While it's a small sample size, the list gives you an idea of what's been taking place so far this season. Some of the players and teams are performing nearly as well as expected, but others are putting on performances that I never would've predicted them to begin the season with.
1) Braves (6-1)
2) Diamondbacks (5-2)
3) Rockies (5-2)
4) Red Sox (5-2)
5) Athletics (5-2)
6) Rangers (5-2)
7) Reds (5-2)
8) Mets (5-2)
The Braves currently lead all of baseball with a win percentage of .857. Justin Upton has been making a major impact, hitting six home runs in the first seven games, and I fully expected the Braves to have a season long performance like the one they're currently starting out with. The Diamondbacks, Rockies, Red Sox and Mets are all surprising me, so far, as I expected them to all have poor seasons, and while it's still very early, at the moment, they're making things interesting. As far as the Athletics, Rangers and Reds go, it's not a shock that they're doing so well. Though I thought the Rangers would have a bit of a struggle this season, without Josh Hamilton, they seem to be doing just fine. It should be interesting to see if they can keep it up.
1) Adam Jones (.500)
2) Jed Lowrie (.500)
3) Carlos Santana (.500)
4) Michael Cuddyer (.478)
5) Carl Crawford (.450)
6) Jean Segura (.450)
*Minimum of 20 AB's
Adam Jones is the only player on the list of fastest start players that I'm not surprised with. Having recorded a 32 homer, 82 RBI season, in 2012, Jones is in the prime of his career, and is set to have another fantastic season. For Jed Lowrie, Carlos Santana, Michael Cuddyer, Carl Crawford and Jean Segura, they better enjoy the hot start while it lasts, because I don't see any of them having an all that spectacular year. But as with anything in baseball, there's always the chance for me to be proven wrong.
1) Astros (1-6)
2) Marlins (1-6)
3) Padres (1-5)
4) Pirates (2-5)
5) Brewers (2-5)
6) Phillies (2-5)
7) Cubs (2-5)
After beating the Rangers, 8-2, on Opening Night, the Astros have done nothing but go down hill, ever since. With 155 games left to play, and just 94 losses away from 100, it's likely the Astros' season will end with yet another year of 100+ losses. The Marlins, Padres and Pirates are all teams that have the potential to win now, but it's likely to be a year or two before they start to become big time contenders in their divisions. The Brewers and Phillies are the only teams that surprise me, somewhat, on this list, but they just haven't performed well so far this year. And as for the Cubs, they're just being themselves; destined to make it 105 seasons without a World Series title.
1) Jeff Keppinger (.048)
2) Ryan Hanigan (.050)
3) Aaron Hicks (.067)
4) Pedro Alvarez (.080)
5) Neil Walker (.083)
*Minimum of 20 AB's
No one on this list surprises me, other than Neil Walker. Walker is arguably the best player on the list, but he hasn't been able to find his groove so far this season. I look for him to get things going, however, and record another season like he has the past few years–10-15 homers and 65-80 RBI's, with a high 200's batting average. For Jeff Keppinger, Ryan Hanigan, Aaron Hicks and Pedro Alvarez, it will be interesting to see if they get their acts together, or if this is a sign of things to come for them this season, as things can certainly only go up.
Keep in mind, while those are the players and teams with the fastest and slowest starts to the season, there's still a lot of baseball left to be played, and anything can happen. Only time will tell if the current trends will last; that's why they play 162 games.
National League Predictions for 2013
Last year was the first time I ever made actual predictions as to how the MLB standings would look at the end of the regular season. To say I did poorly would be an understatement, but this is a new year, and with it comes a new shot at getting the predictions right. So I'm up for the challenge once again.
Unlike 2012, when I posted both my American League and National League predictions in the same blog entry, this year I'm doing separate posts for each league. I did my American League predictions on Thursday (if you'd like to check them out, CLICK HERE), so today, as the title states, I'm giving my 2013 National League standings predictions, starting with the NL East:
1. Braves
2. Nationals
3. Phillies
4. Marlins
5. Mets
With all of the offseason additions, including both Justin Upton and B.J. Upton, the Braves have a really good chance to win their division, in the minds of many baseball fans, myself included. Their starting rotation is somewhat of a question mark, being good, but not great, however, I think the lineup they currently possess will be more than enough to get the job done. This will be the first season in more than a decade in which Chipper Jones isn't in the dugout, but I think it's going to be an exciting year for Braves fans nonetheless.
The Nationals had a breakout season last year, bringing playoff baseball back to Washington D.C. for the first time since 1933, and all signs point to them having another great season. The only reason I have them finishing behind the Braves is that their lineup isn't quite as lethal, although their pitching staff can compete with nearly any team in baseball. Stephen Strasburg isn't going to be on an innings limit, as he was last season, and the loss of that stress should allow for him to thrive. I fully see the Nat's making the playoffs yet again in 2013.
For the Phillies, I'm still yet to be convinced that they're going to do much of anything this year. Unlike last year, the Phillies should have a healthy Ryan Howard for the entire season, who will undoubtedly improve their lineup, but with Roy Halladay struggling a bit in spring training–given it's just spring training–and the remainder of the rotation being merely decent, I can't see them finishing any higher than third; being that the Braves and Nationals are in the division. But the Phillies certainly have the potential to prove me wrong.
Adding tons of big name players to their roster in the offseason of 2011, everyone thought it would help the Marlins win a few more games than they did the previous year. But things didn't go as planned for the Marlins, as they finished 2012 with even fewer wins than in 2011, and in a questionable move, decided to redo nearly the entire team during this past offseason. With the loss of so many players, combined with the way the remainder of the team–with the exception of Giancarlo Stanton–played last season, they aren't predicted to do much in the coming year.
The only team I'm predicting to do worse than the Marlins are the Mets. Although they resigned their superstar third baseman, David Wright, for the next seven years, they traded away their 2012 Cy Young award winner, in R.A. Dickey. While that move alone isn't going to be the make or break point for the Mets, I don't see them winning an awful lot of games this year. I do, however, like their chances down the road, as some of their key prospects are knocking on the door. As soon as next season, I can see the Mets making some noise in the NL East.
1. Reds
2. Cardinals
3. Pirates
4. Brewers
5. Cubs
After an extremely successful 2012 season, in which the Reds finished first in their division on 97 games won, there's no reason they shouldn't be able to have an equally impressive, if not slightly better, 2013. They have the same basic roster, which includes one of the best closers in all of baseball, however, the one major difference is a healthy Joey Votto, which is why I see the Reds having an even better season this year. If they acquire the speedy Billy Hamilton, who stole 155 bases in the minors last year, towards the end of the season, I could see them going very deep into the playoffs, as well.
The Cardinals are a team that's good enough to give the Reds a run for their money, but I'm not predicting for them to win the division. The Card's have an extremely good pitching staff, when it comes to both starters and the bullpen–though their stellar closer, Jason Motte, is expected to begin the year on the disabled list–,however, their lineup isn't quite as good as the Reds. It's certainly going to be fun to watch to see how it all plays out, but regardless, I don't see them being good enough to earn even the second wild card spot, as I feel the Nat's and Giants are going to have better seasons.
This is going to finally be the year for the Pirates, in my mind. They started off incredibly last season, with their All-Star, Andrew McCutchen, leading the way with a batting average in the high .300's, however, when McCutchen began to struggle following the midsummer classic, the rest of the team followed suit. If the entire team can rally together and play to their full potential, for the entire season, while I don't see them making the playoffs, I could easily see them finishing with a winning record for the first time since 1992.
If it wasn't for Ryan Braun, the Brewers arguably wouldn't have won nearly as many games last season, which is why I feel they're bound to flip spots with the Pirates in the coming year. Their pitching staff isn't what you would expect out of an above .500 ball club, but it gets the job done, nonetheless. Even so, their lineup is missing a few key components–some of which just aren't there, and some players that are injured–for the Brewers to have any sort of a chance at a playoff run, as far as I can foresee.
All signs point to the Cubs' streak of 104 seasons without a World Series title continuing yet another season, with there not being much chance for a successful season in 2013. They have some good, young prospects working their way up the ranks, but until they make it to Wrigley field, a few years down the road, all the Cubs can do is make it through another subpar 162 game season.
1. Dodgers
2. Giants
3. Padres
4. Diamondbacks
5. Rockies
It's pretty much going to be either the Dodgers or Giants winning the NL West division, and if the Dodgers can play to their fullest potential, I have a good feeling they're going to win their division. They have one of the best rotations in all of baseball, which includes former Cy Young winner, Clayton Kershaw, along with Zack Greinke and newcomer Hyun-Jin Ryu, from Korea, and that, combined with one of the best lineups in baseball, should be enough to prevail them past the 2012 World Champion Giants, in the NL West division.
With the Dodgers winning the division, I have the Giants coming in a close second. Coming off their second World Series title in three years, the Giants are one of those teams that doesn't have an incredible team, but make the very most of what they have. Last season, Tim Lincecum really struggled to find his groove, posting a career worse 5.18 ERA, but I see Lincecum having a bounce-back 2013 season. While a healthy Lincecum will help keep the Giants in the running for the division title, I still predict them coming up just short.
The Padres made some noise towards the end of last season, and I look for them to play more of the same type of intensity baseball for the entire 2013 season. They don't get a lot of recognition, just because of who they are, not having made the playoffs since 2006, but that doesn't mean they couldn't possibly be the shockers of the 2013 season. While I don't see them finishing higher than third, with the Dodgers and Giants in the division, I'm predicting they're going to be a lot better than most people are expecting.
Having finished with a record of 81-81, exactly .500, in 2012, I don't see the Diamondbacks improving at all in the coming season, especially with the offseason trade of Justin Upton to the Braves, as well as promising young pitching prospect, Trevor Bauer, to the Indians. By losing a couple of players who would've likely made a noticeable impact for the D-back's in the coming season, I see them finishing next to last in the division. Both their pitching staff and lineup are decent, but I just can't bring myself to place them any higher in the standings for my predictions.
Playing in one of the best hitters ballparks in all of baseball, with the high altitude, doesn't help out the Rockies when their pitching rotation is one of the weakest in all of baseball. Although they'll have their star short stop, Troy Tulowitzki, back healthy–Tulowitzki only played in 47 games last year–along with veteran, Todd Helton, the Rockies' lineup isn't nearly strong enough to overcome their below average pithing staff. Therefore, I'm predicting a second straight last place season, in the NL West division, for the Rockies.
Leave a comment below with whether or not you agree with my predictions.
My Thoughts On MLB Banned Substance Punishment
It was announced on Tuesday that Philadelphia Phillies' catcher Carlos Ruiz had been suspended 25 games for using an amphetamine. This coming after a career best year for Ruiz, who batted .325 with 32 doubles, 16 home runs, 68 RBIs, and a .394 on-base percentage in 2012. Ruiz becomes the 7th player to be suspended for use of a banned substance during the 2012 MLB season; joining Guillermo Mota, Feddy Galvis, Marlon Byrd, Melky Cabrera, Bartolo Colon and Yasmani Grandal.
Since the current MLB drug policy was put into place in 2008, a grand total of five players had been found guilty of using banned substances up through the end of the 2011 season. As stated earlier, a total of seven players were suspended this past season alone for use of an illegal substance.
While I don't think it's a sign of the start of another steroid era–like the one that took place throughout the 1990's–I do feel it's a sign that certain players still don't seem to care about being suspended. As long as they can put up some great stats for awhile, they don't seem to mind missing out on a couple months worth of games.
It got me thinking: Is the suspension of a player for use of an illegal substance–be it for however many games–really the correct thing to do when it comes to trying to stop the use of drugs in Major League Baseball?
I'm not so sure.
Perhaps, instead of a suspension, a player testing positive for a banned substance should have their stats taken out of the record books for their past X number of games. It's just a thought.
Players might be less inclined to take the substance in the first place if the results they get from the use of them won't do the player any good after they get caught. Those impressive stats they're able to post with the help of an illegal substance would be all for naught, instead of the current set up, where they get to hang onto that season's stats; which are career best, most of the time.
The way I see it, in certain other sports, athletes who are found to have been using banned substances can be stripped of all awards they've ever received throughout their entire career. I'm not even going that far. I'm just stating that instead of a 50 game suspension, give a 50 game deduction of their stats. That seems both "fair" and realistic, in my opinion.
There are a couple of reasons I feel this would be a more effective way to punish those who choose to use illegal substances:
First of all, when a player is suspended a given amount of games, it hurts their team; especially if they're suspended during the later months of the regular season, when their team could be pushing for a playoff spot. I don't feel that just because a player chooses to break the rules, that it should impact their entire team. Sometimes, just one player can make or break a team, and I don't find a suspension as an effective way of punishing the PLAYER.
In addition, taking away the stats that the player was able to post during the timeframe in which they were using the banned substance could possibly help out that particular player when it comes to Hall of Fame voting; if in fact they are HOF worthy. (I'm not saying that Carlos Ruiz is a Hall of Famer; I'm speaking in a general sense.)
When voters look at a player that was found guilty of using illegal substances, a lot of voters don't even consider them for The Hall; and rightfully so. However, if the players' "illegal" stats were to be removed from their career numbers, it might give them a shot.
Let's say, for example, a player ends his career with a .310 batting average, with 3,000 hits and 400 home runs. If that player was found to have used drugs during one of their best statistical seasons, they don't stand a chance at making it into Cooperstown. But, if the season in question was to be cleared from the books, it could level the playing field, and give an otherwise worthy player a shot.
Take away a career best 200 hit season, in which said player hit 25 home runs, and they would still have Hall of Fame stats (2,800 hits with 375 home runs). A lot of times players only make the mistake once, and I don't think that should be enough to keep them out altogether.
In conclusion, while I'm all for a player being punished for use of an illegal substance, I'm not sure the current policy is the right one. And while I'm not saying mine is flawless, I feel it's at the very least enough to make you think. My "policy" would punish the player without impacting their teams chances of a playoff run, as well as still allowing the player a shot at the Hall of Fame.
Maybe I'm onto something, or maybe, it's all just wishful thinking.
Hamels Admits To Plunking Harper Intentionally
I feel I've misjudged Bryce Harper. As many of you may know, I haven't been a fan of his since I first heard of him. I felt he was an arrogant guy who saw himself as better than everyone else just because he happened to be 'The Chosen One'. Now, seeing how he's handled himself through his first week in the Major Leagues, I'm not so sure I gave him a fair chance.
My opinion was formed just like most other people, using the limited facts given to me by the media, who tend to spin stories around to make bigger stories more often than not. Just because the media was telling me Harper was a jerk, I figured "well I guess he is"; and that was that.
Now, I feel Harper's not as bad of a guy as the media made him seem. Yes, he's arrogant, but as long as that arrogance stops when Harper's not between the chalked lines, I have no problem with that. There's a difference between arrogance, and an immense passion for the game of baseball. Harper has shown that he obviously has incredible baseball passion, as he gives ever play his all; playing like every game is his last.
Harper is too good of an athlete for me to not root for. The guy is extremely fun to watch, and while he hasn't shown off the power yet, he's impressed me a great deal. His speed is insane; as is his arm. Both are aspects of his game that I was aware were good, but I had no idea they were THAT good. It was truly a shock to me the first time I saw him show off the gun.
With the injury to Nationals' right fielder Jayson Werth, Harper will be moved to fill Werth's spot. He certainly has the arm for right field, and is sure to impress the first chance he gets.
Moving onto Sunday night's game versus the Phillies.
Just when I thought Harper had done all he can do to impress me, he took it another step further in Sunday's game against the Phillies. In Harper's first at bat of the game he was hit in the side by a pitch from Cole Hamels. I was fully expecting a few words to be exchanged to say the least, but Harper proceeded to trot down to first base after taking a second to recover.
I feel that Harper has matured in that sense. Instead of making a scene, Harper was able to retaliate against Hamels by stealing home. (The first teenager to do so since 1964.)
It appeared as if Harper glared in the direction of Hamel's as he headed into the dugout, but I have no problem with that.
Now, here's where things get interesting. Cole Hamels came out on Monday and made the following statement, regarding his plunking of Harper:
I was trying to hit him. I'm not going to deny it. I'm not trying to injure the guy. They're probably not going to like me for it, but I'm not going to say I wasn't trying to do it. I think they understood the message, and they threw it right back. That's the way, and I respect it. They can say whatever they want.
My response to Hamels coming clean would be, "why?" Why come out and state that you hit him on purpose? Why not say the ball slipped, or whatever? It just doesn't make sense to me.
Sure, you can say Hamels was just trying to be honest, but it would appear that Phillies manager, Charlie Manuel, would agree with me. His response being:
I wish [Hamels had] been a little bit more, what do you call it, not so honest, or dishonest, or discreet, that might be the right word. What I saw was the next time Hamels came up to bat, they definitely retaliated, he got hit on the calf and he could have got hurt. If the guy would have hit him hard on the bone part of his leg, that could have hurt. … I like to think it was dropped right there and the rest of it will be done baseball-wise.
Major League Baseball made the decision to suspend Cole Hamles for five games (or one start) for intentionally hitting Harper. A lot of people feel that's not long enough. I'm sure one of those people would be Nationals' GM Mike Rizzo, who stated:
I've never seen a more classless, gutless [expletive] act in my 30 years in baseball. Cole Hamels says he's old school? He's the polar opposite of old school. He's fake tough. He thinks he's going to intimidate us after hitting our 19-year-old rookie who's eight games into the big leagues? He doesn't know who he's dealing with.
I'm not sure I'd go as far as saying "he doesn't know who he's dealing with", but I too don't agree with the intentional plunking of Harper. It's a sloppy situation all the way around.
No matter which side you're on, or who you root for, this is an interesting story. This is how rivalries form. This is how you sell tickets, and thus fill ballparks. And to the suspected delight of Harper (who is known to love the spotlight) it can all be traced back to him.
My 2012 MLB Predictions
After watching several Spring Training games to try to get a feel for how teams will perform this season, I finally feel I can post my MLB predictions blog entry that I've had on hold for the past month. I've never attempted to make predictions for an entire year of Major League Baseball, but I'm going to give it a shot. I'll probably be way off, but who knows, I might get lucky.
I'm going to start off by giving my predictions for each division, starting with the AL East:
1- New York Yankees
2- Tampa Bay Rays
3- Boston Red Sox
4- Toronto Blue Jays
5- Baltimore Orioles
Reasoning: I have the Yankees just edging out the Rays for the number one spot in the American League East. Both are going to be great teams this year but I think the Yankees have a slightly better team than the Rays. As far as the Red Sox go, I don't see them having a repeat year from last. They're bound to do much better this season. I don't see them doing better than the Rays however, who are really getting their team together. I've got the Blue Jays finishing fourth in the AL East. While they have a decent pitching staff and power slugger Jose Bautista, as well as several young stars, I don't think their team is quite there yet. Give them a few more years, and I think they'll be a real threat in the division. As far as the Orioles go, I don't see them doing any better than last year. They didn't make any drastic changes to their team to warrant a belief that they'll move up even one spot.
1- Detroit Tigers
2- Cleveland Indians
3- Kansas City Royals
4- Minnesota Twins
5- Chicago White Sox
Reasoning: If you had asked me back when the 2011 season ended if I thought there was a team that could beat out the Detroit Tigers for the number one spot in the AL Central, my answer would've been yes. Now that the Tigers have Prince Fielder, and the transition for Miguel Cabrera from first to third base seems to have gone smoothly, I'd say there's no chance of any team coming close to the Tigers. With their Ace Justin Verlander leading the way, I could easily see the Tigers winning 100 or more games this year. I have the Cleveland Indians finishing second in the division. I feel that they're a good team, but not good enough for the number one spot. The number three spot goes to the Kansas City Royals. I feel that it's just a matter of time before this team really starts to leave its mark. They have a great team, as well as several great prospects still in the minors. I think the Royals will be good enough for the number two spot in a couple years. I would've placed the Twins higher on the list had it not been for the great ammount of uncertainty. The Twins have a decent team, however their star players Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau didn't have their best stuff last season due to injury. I'm not sure they can beat out the Royals for numbethird in the AL Central. As far as the White Sox go, they're good engough for dead last on my list.
1- Texas Rangers
2- Los Angeles Angels
3- Seattle Mariners
4- Oakland Athletics
Reasoning: It was very difficult for me to decide between the Rangers and Angels for that number one spot in the AL West. Both have great pitching staffs, as well as great players in their line ups, but in the end I felt that the Rangers and Yu Darvish would just beat out the Angels by one or two games. I have the Mariners taking that number three spot. Although the Athletics signed cuban phenom Yoenis Cespedes, as well as Manny Ramirez, I feel the Mariners are a better team when it comes down to it.
1- Philadelphia Phillies
2- Atlanta Braves
3- Miami Marlins
4- Washington Nationals
5- New York Mets
Reasoning: Choosing between the Phillies and Braves for the number one spot was difficult. They both have injured players going into the season, however both have a good team even with the injuries. The only reason I picked the Phillies for first is their pitching rotation. The Braves have a good one as well, but I don't think it's as developed as the Phillies, who have their Ace Roy Halladay. The Marlins I have coming in third. While I feel they'll deffinitely do better than last season–with the additions of Jose Reyes, Heath Bell, Mark Buehrle and Carlos Zambrano–I don't think they can compete with the Braves or Phillies in the very tough NL East division. Another team that I feel is going to do a lot better this season than last is the Washington Nationals. If Bryce Harper performs well once called up, and Stephen Strasburg can stay healthy, I think the Nationals stand a chance of beating out the Marlins for third in the division. For now, however, I'm still sticking with my prediction of fourth for the Nat's, but give them a year or so and they'll be a really good team. The Mets are last on my list, as I don't feel they'll do any better than last year, even with a healthy Johan Santana.
1- St. Louis Cardinals
2- Milwaukee Brewers
3- Cincinnati Reds
4- Pittsburgh Pirates
5- Chicago Cubs
6- Houston Astros
Reasoning: Depending on how healthy their star players can stay throughout the season, and how well the teams as a whole perform, I could see the Cardinals, Brewers or Reds placing first in the NL Central. They all have decent pitching rotations, as well as decent lineups. Since I couldn't pick all three to put in the top spot however, I decided to go with the Cardinals after much debate. I'm not only choosing the Cardinals because they were 2011 World Champions, but also because I feel that even with the loss of their superstar Albert Pujols, they're a good enough team to win the division. The second place team on my list, the Brewers, took a similar hit as the Cardinals, loosing their star player Prince Fielder. Without the loss of Fielder, the Brewers would run away with the division, but I feel it's pretty even between the top three teams the way it stands. The Reds are a team that's good enough for the top spot, but I have them finishing third in the NL Central just for the fact that I don't think they'll put everything together to finish any better; but they might just surprise me. The Pirates, who I have finishing fourth, are a team similar to the Nationals. They're getting better everyday, and have a bunch of star prospects still in the minors, including top prospect pitcher Gerrit Cole, but it'll be a few more years before they're good enough for third place or higher. They're deffinitely a team to keep a close eye on in the future though. I have the Cubs finishing next to last just ahead of the Astros. Nothing stands out to me that makes me think they have a shot at cracking the 103 year World Series drought, none the less finishing any better than fifth. The good news for the Astros is that I think they'll be no worse than last season. The bad news is they were terrible last season. But that's nothing new. They're good enough for last place.
1- San Francisco Giants
2- Arizona Diamondbacks
3- Los Angeles Dodgers
4- San Diego Padres
5- Colorado Rockies
Reasoning: After winning the World Series in 2010 the Giants had a terrible season last year. They were plagued with injuries to many of their stars, including Brian Wilson and Buster Posey, and while not injured, their Ace Tim Lincecum didn't perform all that well. I look for the Giants to really dominate this coming season. I think Lincecum will have another stellar year, and I look for Buster Posey to have a bounce back year after being injured in 2011. Combine that with Wilson coming in to close things out, and I think you've got a team that's good enough for first place in the division. The Diamondbacks, who won the division last season, are sure to have another fantastic season however I don't think they'll be quite good enough for the top spot. Matt Kemp and the Dodgers are sure to make a push at the number two spot. Kemp–who ended one home run shy of a 40/40 last season (40 home runs, 40 stolen bases)–made the bold prediction that he'll record a 50/50 this year. While that seems a little far fetched, I still look for Kemp to help his team win a ton of games this year, and possibly end up winning the NL MVP, which he should've received after his 2011 performance. The Padres are another of my teams that I feel you should keep a close eye on. They're not quite talented enough yet to finish any better than fourth (a step up from last season) but I feel that they're really getting their act together. They made several great trades during the offseason, and their pitching staff is going to get better in the next couple of years. The Rockies in my opinion will finish last in the division. While they're a good team, who also made some good trades during the off season, I feel that the Padres are going to be the slightly better team this year.
That's my predictions for how the standings will look at the end of the 2012 Regular season. You may agree with me, or you might think I'm insane for some of my picks, but that's just how I see it ending.
Here's a quick review of the teams I have winning their divisions:
AL East: New York Yankees
NL East: Philadelphia Phillies
AL Central: Detroit Tigers
NL Central: St. Louis Cardinals
AL West: Texas Rangers
NL West: San Francisco Giants
Those are the teams that I have winning their divisions and moving onto the 2012 playoffs. Now moving onto my Wild Card Predictions. These are the teams I have recieving those:
AL Wild Card: Los Angeles Angels
NL Wild Card: Arizona Diamondbacks
Those are the teams I feel aren't quite good enough to win their divisions, but will make it to the playoffs via a Wild Card slot. As you know, MLB is adding an extra Wild Card this season. So here are my picks for those:
Extra AL Wild Card Team: Tampa Bay Rays
Extra NL Wild Card Team: Atlanta Braves
If it comes out the way I predict, the Rays and Angels, and the Diamondbacks and Braves will have a one-game play off to see which will move on, and which one's season will come to a dramatic end. It's sure to be exciting.
I had originally planned on predicting all the way down to the World Series, but to be honest, there's too much that can, and will, happen to have any success in doing that. I mean, when the Cardinals were 10 games back of the Braves for the Wild Card last year, who would've predicted that they'd go onto win the World Series? I will say this: I like the Tigers and Rangers chances.
So there you go. Those are my predictions for the division winners as well as the Wild Card, and extra Wild Card recipients. Only time will tell if they play out as I foresee.
How Long "Dan" He Go?
Dan Uggla has gotten at least one hit in every game since July 5th. That calculates out to a 33 game hit streak. The longest hit streak this season, and the longest in Atlanta Braves history.
A hit today and tomorrow would tie him, with Chase Utley and Luis Castillo, for the longest hit streak ever for a second baseman, with 35 straight games. A record that seems more than likely, with the way Uggla's been hitting lately. Completley locked in.
So, three more games with a hit would put him in the record books for the longest hitting streak ever for a second baseman. And five more games with a hit would make him the lone record holder for longest hit streak in Braves franchise history. (A record currently held by Tommy Holmes. As he went on a streak of 37 straight games for the Boston Braves, back in 1945.)
Considering the fact that Dan Uggla seems to be locked in while at the plate lately, I'd say he has a great chance of passing Tommy Holmes record, and possibly reaching a hit streak of 40 games. But what are his chances of passing, or even coming close to Joe DiMaggio's record of 56 games, set back in 1941? Only time will tell.
The only thing that is for certain is that Dan Uggla is hitting better than anyone else in MLB. That isn't an opinion, it's an actual fact, supported by his incredible stats.
If Uggla does continue his streak 23 more games to tie DiMaggio for longest hit streak ever, it will come on September 6 in Philadelphia. (With Uggla breaking DiMaggio's record on the 7th.)
But that's a long way off, and a lot has to, and could happen, between now and then.
We'll have to just wait and see.
So what do you think Dan Uggla's chances are of breaking DiMaggio's record of a 56 game hitting streak that has stood for the past 60 years? Do you think he will break it? If not, how many games do you think he'll get to before the streak is broken? Leave a comment, and let me hear your thoughts…….
(Personally I think Dan Uggla will make it to 42 games with a hit, before failing to get a hit in the 43rd game. Why 42? I don't know. It's just a number that stands out in my head.)
Well, the Braves game is over, and so is the streak. My apology to Dan Uggla for jinxing him will come in my next entry. No really. I'm going to post an entry apologizing to Dan. It'll be up tomorrow……
Here's the link to my apology: CLICK HERE

Are your vehicles with USAA too? That might help with your rate. I will say that when I moved to Denver from GA, my auto and renter's insurance nearly doubled.
My company handles lots of insurance claims and USAA is one of the best to deal with. They take very good care of their members in a claim. I would try an independent insurance agency. They usually have several carriers and can get you the best prices.
We're currently paying about $1200 a year for homeowners with SF on $300K house with a 1/2% deductible in TN. We've been seeing rates go up 10% a year due to massive hail storms and tornados in the area. I tried a DR ELP and am looking a quote that cuts that in half through a company called Acuity (I've never heard of them before). I'm working on my list of questions to figure out why such a price difference.
Jess - DD 4/08, DD 8/10, ? 8/13
$1299 this year, last year it was only $910..... Pisses me off we have never had a claim through the house or auto, I just don't get it. It's through Farmer's and into an escrow account. Our house is covered for like 140k we live in Oklahoma so low cost of living area but there are tornadoes and storm damage I guess that's why it's high....

A lot. It can just keep splitting your lip and cause pain, make it painful in the upper register, and build up a callus and make it uncomfortable to play.
but can it effect the way i can play or it will just cause pain?? cause its not actually a cut cause it always happens intht same little spot .. i think its going to be my front teeth
Depends, if you dont like it then it will effect your playing because you will try not to have that happen. Find a Mentor to help you out.
You may build up tougher skin, I never had a problem with that affecting my playing when I had that happen as a result of braces. If you find that it affects your playing, you may want to visit a dentist to see if he can find the source of the issue, if it's not excessive pressure.

Don't be afraid to try something different. The Ark was built by an amateur and the Titanic was built by a group of experienced engineers.
By the inch it's a cinch, by the yard, it's hard!
You shouldn't be regularly be puncturing your lip when you play.
An internet forum won't be able to help you. You'll hear advice here about playing with "less pressure", people asking if you're "upstream or downstream", and lots of other things that wil confuse you.
A real teacher who can sit with you and look at (and listen to) what you're doing wrong is what you need.
Otherwise you're going to end up being that guy who mashes the horn into your face to play high and loud while cutting your lips.

Mariachi123, who is helping you get started? Experimenting until something about your playing is broken and THEN trying to figure out what went wrong is a recipe for frustration.
Everything that you describe shows that you don't even know what the basics of playing are and have no command of the things necessary to make trumpet playing fun. You need a teacher. The sooner, the better.

T-Mobile myTouch 3G Fender Specifications

I just wish they would offer the refinements on the regular Mytouch also, like the 3.5mm jack. Very few people will like that guitar finish, it's quite ugly.

Make a poll. Your word alone carries nothing.

They didn't match the wood grain up very well. I'll just stick with my Fender Telecaster and a Droid.

The foreskin is not an optional extra for a man's body, or an accident. It is an integral, functioning, important component of a man's penis. An eye does not function properly without an eyelid – and nor does a penis without its foreskin.
Among other things, the foreskin provides:
- Protection The foreskin fully covers the glans (head) of the flaccid penis, thereby protecting it from damage and harsh rubbing against abrasive agents (underwear, etc.) and maintaining its sensitivity
- Sexual Sensitivity The foreskin provides direct sexual pleasure in its own right, as it contains the highest concentration of nerve endings on the penis
- Lubrication The foreskin, with its unique mucous membrane, permanently lubricates the glans, thus improving sensitivity and aiding smoother intercourse
- Skin-Gliding During Erection The foreskin facilitates the gliding movement of the skin of the penis up and down the penile shaft and over the glans during erection and sexual activity
- Varied Sexual Sensation The foreskin facilitates direct stimulation of the glans during sexual activity by its interactive contact with the sensitive glans
- Immunological Defense The foreskin helps clean and protect the glans via the secretion of anti-bacterial agents
To see more of the function of the foreskin via photographic display, go to our Images & Information.
For a level-headed discussion about circumcision in a medical context please watch this video. For a more historical explanation, please watch this. To read more about the functions of the foreskin, click here.
What circumcision takes away
The foreskin is at the heart of male sexuality. Circumcision almost always results in a diminution of sexual sensitivity; largely because removing the foreskin cuts away the most nerve-rich part of the penis (up to 80% of the penis's nerve endings reside in the foreskin) [1]. The following anatomy is amputated with circumcision:
- The Taylor "ridged band" (sometimes called the "frenar band"), the primary erogenous zone of the male body. This unique, highly specialized and exquisitely sensitive structure is equipped with soft ridges designed by nature to stimulate the female's inner labia and G-spot during intercourse
- The frenulum, the highly erogenous V-shaped tethering structure on the underside of the head of the penis
- 20,000 specialized erotogenic nerve endings of several types, which can feel slight variations in pressure and stretching, subtle changes in temperature, and fine gradations in texture
- Thousands of coiled fine-touch receptors called Meissner's corpuscles, which are also found in the fingertips
Not only is a staggering amount of nerve tissue lost in circumcision, even further loss of sensation occurs in the glans after circumcision. Since circumcision deprives the glans of its protective mucous membrane, the glans dry out and is left unprotected against external abrasion. To shield itself from the pain and discomfort of abrasion, it keratinizes, forming a tough, harder outer surface that buries the nerve endings of the glans deeper under the surface and renders them less sensitive to touch. Studies now show [2] as does the empirical evidence of men who undergo circumcision as adults a reduction of sexual sensitivity in circumcised men, compared to their intact equivalents.
Most importantly, circumcision renders a penis dysfunctional. Circumcision removes 30 – 50% of the skin of the penis including the complex double layer of the foreskin, most of the nerve-endings (found on the foreskin), the mucosal inner lining of the foreskin, and part of, or even in some cases the entirety of, the frenulum. As one might expect after such a significant amputation, a penis subject to such interference cannot function normally ever again. Many adolescents circumcised at birth experience painfully tight skin upon erection, simply because there is not enough skin left after circumcision to allow proper expansion to occur. Furthermore, many circumcised men find their level of sexual sensitivity diminish drastically as they age, with their glans becoming less and less sensitive to touch.
An intact man experiences sexual intercourse very differently from a circumcised man; first, because he has the feeling of all the nerve endings on the foreskin and a very sensitive glans that is only exposed to touch during sex, and secondly because the presence of a foreskin allows for the abundant skin present along the shaft to glide onto the glans, providing its own stimulation without the need for external lubrication. By contrast, a circumcised man's penile shaft skin is stretched tight during erection, allowing for no stimulation of the glans by the gentle backwards and forwards movement of foreskin. Furthermore, he feels nothing of the stretching and relaxing of the foreskin and frenulum as the skin of the penis is pushed forward and back during intercourse, both of which are a major component of the pleasure and ejaculatory response in intact males. The absence of many of the nerves that were once on the penis means that the circumcised male feels much less, which also explains the very common observation that circumcised men take much longer to reach orgasm, that is so because they cannot feel nearly as much. Finally, following orgasm, the foreskin of an intact man covers his glans again, preventing it from being touched while at its most sensitive and keeping it comfortable, whereas a circumcised man's glans remains exposed after intercourse to painful, abrasive contact with the world outside.
Thirdly, circumcision results in a damaged physical appearance a permanent scar and the constant exposure and drying out of an internal organ (the glans) to the open air and abrasion from clothes and other outside objects. That altered appearance when not chosen by the individual can lead to body image problems, shame, and embarrassment to boys and men who have, against their will, been visibly made different from the majority of the world's men. This is especially so in countries where circumcision is no longer considered normal (i.e. the whole world except for the United States, South Korea, Israel, and Islamic countries). No one likes the idea of scarring anywhere on one's body. The idea of a scar at the place of most intimacy, sensitivity and psychological importance, especially when it was unnecessarily imposed, and in conditions of pain is particularly upsetting.
To see more of the results of circumcision, go to our educational Images & Information (figs. 5 and 6).
The foreskin: getting it back, getting sensitivity back
Regenerating the foreskin has two main aims:
- To reverse the harm done by circumcision
- To bring back the sexual sensitivity, normal function, bodily completeness and psychological well-being of the healthy adult male that were damaged by circumcision, allowing the once-circumcised man to function normally in sexual intercourse (and in daily life) as nature intended
No human foreskin has ever been regenerated by medical science. At best, foreskin restoration therapies can stretch the normal shaft skin left after circumcision to mimic the effect of a foreskin (see Current Therapies) but this never replaces the unique properties and functions of the real foreskin with which every baby boy is born.
Foregen is dedicated to changing that. Foregen's mission is to harness biomedical knowledge on dermal regrowth to the field of genital reconstruction for circumcised men, and to produce a therapy which will bring back the original tissue, function, and structure destroyed at circumcision. Only when true foreskin regeneration is possible can the harms done by circumcision be reversed – and the benefits of being intact regained.

Media Round-up: White House Report on Fixing our Broken Immigration SystemPosted byon July 30, 2013 at 4:18 PM EDT
Yesterday, the White House released a report that provides further evidence that commonsense, bipartisan immigration reform would provide economic benefits for our nation's agriculture sector, our workforce, and rural communities. The report highlights the strong growth states' agriculture sectors have seen in recent years and underscores how that growth can support other parts of our economy – especially in rural communities focused on agricultural development. In fact, in many of these communities, a temporary worker program and an earned path to citizenship will boost farm output and produce other positive spillover effects. Coupled with a decline in native-born rural populations, the strength and continuity of rural America is contingent on commonsense immigration reform that improves job opportunity, provides local governments with the tools they need to succeed, and increases economic growth.
In June, the Senate passed historic legislation that is largely consistent with the President's principles for commonsense immigration reform with a strong bipartisan vote. This bill would strengthen border security, while providing an earned path to citizenship for undocumented farmworkers who are vital to our nation's agriculture industry, and a new temporary worker program negotiated by major grower associations and farmworker groups. If enacted, the Senate bill would result in undocumented workers paying a fine, their full share of taxes and is estimated to allow an estimated 1.5 million agricultural workers and their dependents to earn legal status. A diverse group of stakeholders know this: it's a major reason why they are calling on the House to join the Senate in acting to fix our broken immigration system in a way that requires responsibility from everyone — both from workers here illegally and from those who hire them—and guarantees that everyone is playing by the same rules.Learn more about , Economy, Immigration, Rural
FFA State Presidents 'Suit Up' for AgriculturePosted byon July 25, 2013 at 6:53 PM EDT
Ed Note: Yesterday, Secretary Vilsack had the opportunity to speak with some of our nation's brightest young leaders at the National FFA Organization's State Presidents' Conference. He discussed USDA's efforts to revitalize the rural economy and recognized the officers for their commitment to leadership, personal growth and career success. Below is a blog post submitted to USDA by Clay Sapp, 2012-13 National FFA President. You can find the original post here.
This week is the National FFA Organization's 2013 State Presidents' Conference (SPC) in Washington, D.C. At SPC, state FFA officers are exposed to new ideas, meet new people and expand their perspectives as they sharpen their advocacy skills for tomorrow. Two officers from each state, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are represented at this year's conference, which carries the theme, "Suit up."
At SPC, state officers undergo intense leadership training and develop a solid understanding of partner relationships. Their training is used to gather grassroots student input from across the nation on the future of FFA and agriculture education.
On Wednesday, our state officers were able to learn about key issues facing rural America, agriculture and education during a White House Rural Council meeting. We heard from U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, executive director of Let's Move and senior policy advisor on nutrition Sam Kass and senior policy advisor for rural affairs Doug McKalip.Learn more about Rural
Supporting Military Readiness and Training through Environmental ConservationPosted byon July 17, 2013 at 2:43 PM EDT
Last week, the Obama Administration announced a new federal, local, and private sector collaboration that will preserve agricultural lands and restore and protect wildlife habitat, all while helping to sustain military readiness.
Known as the "Sentinel Landscapes" partnership, the effort is kicking off with a pilot at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, an important training facility for our troops in the South Puget Sound region of Washington State, and home to some of the last remaining native prairie habitat for wildlife in the state.
This unique convergence of landscapes comes with unique challenges. Namely, as development comes closer and closer to the base, at-risk species in the area take refuge in the only land that can't be developed, the military base itself. The presence of these species can then bring restrictions to the base's ability to engage in certain training activities.
In a unique collaboration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Interior, and the Department of Defense will work together and with private landowners and state and local partners, including the non-profit Center for Natural Lands Management, to preserve and restore habitat around the base to ensure at-risk species can survive, while also improving military readiness by ensuring training activities can proceed unimpeded.Learn more about Energy and Environment, Rural, Veterans
Building Community Leaders for Regional SuccessPosted byon July 12, 2013 at 11:36 AM EDT
Ed. note: This is cross-posted from the Delta Regional Authority.
Strong leaders are integral to the success of Rural America, binding together neighbors, sustaining the deeply rooted culture, and searching for ways to keep the community moving forward. To ensure a future generation of Delta leaders, the Delta Regional Authority, a member of the White House Rural Council, began the Delta Leadership Institute Executive Academy.
Founded in 2005, the first Executive Academy class convened 22 people from the eight states of the Delta region to learn about the most pressing economic and social issues facing Rural America and collaborate to find common solutions to address these problems. Through leadership development sessions, communication trainings, case studies of successful models of change, and exposure to fellow community members and other parts of the region, the Executive Academy has created a corps of community leaders who have a vision for the Delta as a regional unit. The Academy is a network that shares successes, opportunities, and failures across state lines, and a group of leaders who have the tools to bring economic advancement and social change to their rural communities.
Over six sessions taking place in five cities around the region and in Washington, DC, participants discuss challenges in access to affordable health care and education, recruitment of business investment, retention of human capital, maintenance of necessary public infrastructure, and cultivation of entrepreneurial environments. Most importantly, though, these sessions provide participants with the opportunity to collaborate on crafting solutions for our region.Learn more about Rural
White House Rural Council Growing Rural Economies, Creating JobsPosted byon June 19, 2013 at 5:40 PM EDT
This week is National Small Business Week. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), along with agencies across the Obama Administration, are hosting events in five cities. These events provide expert advice, mentoring and explore topics ranging from access to capital to exporting. Small businesses across the country can tune into these events via livestream at sba.gov.
America's small businesses create two out of three net new private sector jobs in our economy. And today more than half of all working Americans either own or work for a small business. Our goal is to ensure that the positive economic benefits of entrepreneurship can reach every corner of the country.
That's why today the White House Rural Council is announcing new commitments to increase access to capital and to provide additional training and counseling services to rural small businesses and entrepreneurs.
For Fiscal Years 2013 and 2014, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) have committed to support a combined $175 million in microloans to small businesses in rural areas, in addition to new business training and counseling opportunities. To date, in FY13, we have already supported nearly $85 million to rural small businesses. Since 2009, USDA and SBA have provided over 19,000 loans and grants, helping more than 60,000 rural small businesses through programs like USDA-Rural Development's Intermediary Relending Program and SBA's Microloan Program.
Full Speed Ahead for Open Ag DataPosted byon May 6, 2013 at 9:24 AM EDT

Participants in the G-8 International Conference on Open Data for Agriculture, including US Chief Technology Todd Park, listen to opening remarks by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack in Washington, D.C. on Monday, Apr. 29, 2013. (USDA photo by Bob Nichols)
The foundation for such collaboration was set by President Obama's first ever global development policy which emphasizes broad-based economic growth, innovation, and partnership; and the President's leadership on food security through the L'Aquila Food Security Initiative and Feed the Future. Then, at the 2012 G-8 Camp David Summit, the G-8 nations, African partners, the private sector and civil society launched the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition and committed to host a conference focused on sharing relevant data to help advance agriculture and ensure food security for people around the world. At the end of the year, the White House hosted a Global Development Data Jam—the first high-level U.S. Government event to feature the potential of Open Data to address global challenges.
Last week's G-8 "Open Ag Data" conference hosted by the USDA, built on this important groundwork by focusing on ways to ensure that Open Data about agriculture are not only available, but also put to good use. It also highlighted some excellent work that's already underway and making positive change in the Open Ag Data arena, including:Learn more about Innovations, Rural, Technology

As we get closer to Canada's hottest night in film, the 32nd Annual Genie Awards, we can't help but get excited about the red carpet reveals. We had a chance to once again talk with our go-to hair expert, Kristjan Hayden of Civello Salons, about some of the potential looks that he put together at the I Dream of Genie press preview event.
Kritjan on the Kristen Wiig look:
"A lot of what we've been interpreting from the red carpet season this year is that casual is the new glam. So we have more hair worn down than ever before. Lots of actresses like Kristen Wiig [from Bridesmaids] and Jessica Chastain [from Tree of Life] are wearing their hair in long, loose, natural waves and rocking it out on the red carpet."
Kristjan on the Berenice Bejo look:
"If women are wearing their hair up [on the red carpet] they're doing things that have more
texture. Things that are a little bit looser feeling. We have the side braid, kind of like Berenice Bejo [from The Artist], pulled back into a low, messybun, so nothing looks too perfect."
Kristjan on the Vintage look:
"[Other woman who wear their hair up] have slightly vintage inspired hair styles, with a little bit of volume in the crown, side sweeping bangs or fringes and a lower messy textured bun. The whole feel is very casual and relaxed."

I bought this thing as a day/swing trade, months ago, but they have REALLY stepped up their game in recent months. I don't think you can make any comparisons to the new Groupon and the one that IPO'd in late 2011. They've brought on some serious talent and they've got some serious money looking over their shoulder to make sure their top and bottom lines improve. I'm going long on this one. Not a few months long. LONNNNNNNG!

you should sell and make a nice profit
Keep your fingers crossed that Groupon doesn't miss again on Revenues. And the concensus estimate is about $60 million higher than the estimate missed last quarter.
They aren't missing. If you're a subscriber you've seen the email deals 10x more per week compared to 9 months ago. I'm long and strong and ready to get the friction on. Hoping it will go down a little more tomorrow so I can double up.
I think Q4 will be decent, but I'm not really concerned, either way. Like I said, I'm going long. This will be a triple digit stock in a few years. They'll either be working with Facebook, or be part of Facebook, supplying the merchandise/activities that Facebook users want, and the graph search will make it possible to target both users and merchants very accurately. I could, of course, be wrong, but I tend to be much better at predicting long-term events than short-term ones. I give myself a 80/20 split on this one. Those are good odds, and I always play the odds, even if they're mine.

Just buy now. Don't worry about pennies. Come back in a year to a $30 stock price.

-Emily Serna, MS1
Emily Serna is entering medical school at UC San Francisco confident that she wants to be a primary care physician, specializing in medically underserved areas of the country.
As she starts her education in the UCSF School of Medicine this August, she will be one of more than 150 medical students who will experience a radically updated curriculum called Bridges.
For Serna, who grew up in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas where she experienced firsthand a dearth of medical care, the new competencies of the Bridges curriculum reflect many things she cares about for her future career. Those topics include social justice issues, learning to care for entire communities rather than just individuals and entering clinical settings early in her training.

Mike Tooley, DirectorSkip navigation
On August 5, 2016, veteran pilot, patriot, and aviator, Frank Stoltz was awarded the FAA Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award during the Montana Antique Airplane Association (MAAA) Fly-In at Three Forks. Frank was a founding member of the MAAA in 1978 and remains an active member today. He is a soft spoken advocate for all things aviation and is quick to offer help to aviation and veterans organizations.
Before he was 20, Frank Stoltz finished sixth grade and welding school, earned a GED, and worked in a Seattle shipyard. When he was barely 20, he was drafted into the U. S. Army Air Corps, soloed in a Boeing Stearman biplane, then spent his time as top-gunner and back-up pilot in a B-24 over Germany. In 1944, his bomber was shot down and he spent the rest of WWII in a German prisoner-of-war camp.
