Life, Death, and Ecological Wreckage in a
Land of Vanishing Predators
By William Stolzenburg
"Stolzenburg narrates these cautionary tales with a conservationist's attention to ecological detail and a childlike reverence for flesh-tearing beasts. His infectious enthusiasm should spark even in bug-wary urbanites a renewed appreciation for nature's complexity." —Alex Altman, Time magazine
"Science writing at its best. Big, fierce animals have a noble champion in William Stolzenburg." —Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University
"Riveting storytelling combined with enough last-minute twists to startle even the most knowledgeable reader. Required reading." — J. Christopher Haney, Chief Scientist and Vice President of Conservation Science and Economics, Defenders of Wildlife
"A dramatic, comprehensive look at the yin and yang interrelated species perform. The survival of the fittest really does depend on all creatures great and small." – Alyne Ellis, AARP Radio
"With a lucid and sparkling voice, William Stolzenburg explains clearly why we need the wolf, tiger, and other predators, large and small, to maintain a healthy environment." —George B. Schaller, Vice President of Science and Exploration, Wildlife Conservation Society
"An absorbing and delightful work of natural history. One of those rare books that provide not just an enriching story, but a new, clarifying lens through which to understand the world around us." —Thomas Hayden, Christian Science Monitor
"In dazzling descriptions…rich in dramatic accounts of life and death in the wild …[ Where the Wild Things Were ] is powerful and compelling." —Publishers Weekly [starred review]
"Remarkably engaging." —Bill McKibben, The Boston Globe
"With the tension of a mystery novel…Where the Wild Things Were makes a thought-provoking argument that the top predators who capture our imagination also ensure that the planet teems with life." -- Angie Drobnic Holan, St. Petersburg Times
"Where the Wild Things Were is everything that's good in a science book: clear, understandable prose; a reasoned, logical argument and a subject that is both compelling and fascinating. It's well worth your time." --James Neal Webb, Quincy Public Library
"While the history behind the plummeting numbers of the world's most feared flesh-eaters would make Stolzenburg's book well worth its weight in pages, his vivid and animated portraits of the evolutionary biologists whose passion and meticulous scholarship drives the book are even more captivating." --Eric Larson, Conscious Choice magazine
"An easy and fun read about the role predators play in keeping ecosystems in balance. I highly recommend it!" --Mark Tercek, President, The Nature Conservancy
"A deft and engaging exploration of the ecological power of predation." --Michelle Nijhuis, High Country News
"It's gripping, important, and a helluva good read…. The characters jump right off the page… A home run." —Scott Weidensaul, Naturalist, author, and Pulitzer-Prize finalist
"It is the mind of a scientist, tamed by the prose of a romantic!" —Francesca Roberts, former correspondent, NBC News
"A passionately rendered update on our faltering environmental stability." —Kirkus Reviews
"Consider this one essential." —Powells.com [staff pick]
"It's one of the top three or four environmental books I've read in ages….Read it now. Right now. Set down Roth's Indignation, pick up Stolzenburg's debut." —Weston Cutter, Corduroy Books.com
"Wildlife managers need a jolt of stiff science. Alpha predator recovery is no longer a matter of redemption; it is an ecological imperative. For my part, I'll start by recommending Where The Wild Things Were to anyone willing to listen." —Chris Spatz, President, Eastern Cougar Foundation
"The captivating prose will introduce readers to species of animals they've never heard of, as well as give a greater awareness and appreciation for the complexity of the world in which we live. Highly recommended." —Kyrille Goldbeck, Library Journal [starred review]
"In this brilliant melding of biography, natural history, and scientific experiment, Stolzenburg describes how a handful of maverick ecologists upended the theory, proving that top predators also shape the populations beneath. If wolves in Manhattan sounds terrifying, Stolzenburg makes clear that a world without carnivores is actually much scarier." —Seed magazine
"I want to say this thoughtfully: Where the Wild Things Were is one of the most fascinating and well-written books I have read in years. It is wonderful. I can't believe anyone interested in nature or wild places would find it otherwise. It kept me turning from tale to tale, from one compelling personality to the next, and saddened by coming to the end. A beautiful book." —Michael L. Andrews, Vice President and Senior Conservation Fellow, The Nature Conservancy
"This is a masterpiece." —Mark S. Garland, Naturalist and columnist, Birder's Bookshelf
"A profoundly thoughtful account of the importance of native carnivores —and the consequences that follow their loss.... A must read for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of the importance of wildlife conservation." —Suzanne Asha Stone, Northern Rockies Wolf Conservation Specialist, Defenders of Wildlife
"So eloquently, creatively, and provocatively conveyed. It's not often that I feel compelled to read aloud passages, but with The Wild Things I did this many times." —Karen Anspacher-Meyer, Executive Director, Green Fire Productions
"The stories are fascinating and Stolzenburg makes the tales come to life. Part history, part mystery, part philosophical treatise, Where the Wild Things Were is an important book in the field of conservation, but also as a history of our species and our relationship with the others with which we share the planet." —Scott Edward Anderson, The Green Skeptic
"Example after example, many of them cinematic, all of them engrossing." —Anthony Doerr, The Boston Globe, July 20, 2008
"Beautiful — and haunting." —Juliet Eilperin, National Public Radio, Living on Earth
"Required reading for every citizen." —Josh Donlan, Founder and Director, Advanced Conservation Strategies
"Challenging and provocative. A humbling yet hopeful book." —Barnes & Noble, Discover Great New Writers
"Where the Wild Things Were may sound like an elegy, but it reads like a mystery. While skeptics wonder if we can afford to welcome top predators back into the fold, Stolzenburg asks if we can afford not to."
—Jennifer Winger, Nature Conservancy magazine

In its meandering path across the northern tier of Yellowstone National Park, the Lamar River emerges from a mountain canyon upon a lofty valley of grass and sage. There it flows through what many eyes perceive as the premier wildlife panorama of the Lower 48. The Lamar Valley is the place to find the grizzly pawing through the summer grasses, to hear the bison bulls bashing heads in the September rut, to scan the sere valley plains and hillsides flashing yellow with the rumps of grazing elk. The coyote pouncing for voles in the grass, the pronghorn antelope galloping over the sage flats—the reasons the asphalt two-lane that snakes across the Lamar terrace so often crawls with sightseers —had little to do with Robert Beschta's astonishment upon his first visit in the spring of 1996. A hydrologist from Oregon State University, Beschta had walked straight from the tour road to the banks of the Lamar, eyes fixed on the river itself. Or rather, from Beschta's frame of reference, what was left of it.

There was some controversy over the image used for the Massacre In Moscow. The newsflash located in the lower right corner said "Thai King Deported". The Mafia Wars Thai players took offense to this and made it known on Get Satisfaction. The Thai King is greatly respected and in their culture it's not cool to make fun or create spoofs. The Thai King in question is the fictional character from our game but his name is too close to the real Thai King.
Get Satisfaction Thread which notified Zynga of the issue.
(1). It also shows that Zynga cares about other cultures and was not aware that this was something that would be portrayed as disrespect. Here is the Zynga Forum post which addresses this issue and provides an apology and a solution.

Message From The Team:
And here is the new graphic that now says Unrest In Thailand. Next time they should just use an image of President Obama.

Checks for Business Can be Customized, Designed and Proofed Online for Better Corporate Image
United States (IBwire.com - January 01, 2013)
PrintE-Z has come up with an entirely new range of checks for business that can be printed through accounting software or check printing software at affordable cost. Keeping in mind that payroll and bill payment is serious business, PrintE-Z has prioritized business check order processing.
As CEO Morris Rose said while inaugurating the company's new range of business checks and office supplies, "At PrintE-Z, each employee understands and appreciates the fact that businesses need to portray an image that depicts its values and particular style. With this in mind, a new range of pre-printed business checks that includes 3-To-A Page Checks and One-Write Checks has been introduced. The company also recognizes that despite high level of monitoring, there are times when managers find that supplies for check stock is in short supply when payday is just round the corner. At PrintE-Z the orders that are placed for business checks or computer checks are on the way within 24 hours of the request being submitted."
Writing checks manually is passé. It is also a time consuming and tiring job particularly for businesses having a large number of people on the payroll – writing that many checks every week can be pretty frustrating at times especially when there is something urgent awaiting attention. In-house check printing not only saves time but also ensures error-free recordkeeping.
Businesses often find that checks supplied by banks do not come up to the mark particularly when it comes to printing checks through accounting software. Regardless of whether a customer wants to print checks directly from the accounting software or import data from the accounting software to check writing software, a customer can order business checks online at PrintE-Z.com no matter whether QuickBooks, Peachtree or MS Money is used.
Businesses can customize and choose from a range of colors and also get the logo and a short one-line message printed on the face of the check at no extra cost. For speeding up order processing, all customization including designing and proofing is done online. To further facilitate matters, there is always someone online to offer live help to customers visiting the website. Moreover, the website stores customer information for faster processing of repeat orders.
However, much as many would like to, many businesses are wary of printing checks on the laser printers due to the cost of pre-printed checks. Businesses can save money on business checks by placing a business check order for blank computer checks. Regardless of whether it is pre-printed or blank checks for accounting and business, PrintE-Z uses only superior quality paper that withstands the pressures of laser printers and will not tear in the check printer.
PrintE-Z offers one-stop business printing solutions that has the most comprehensive selection of business checks and office accessories including check binders, envelopes, deposit slips, business forms, cash deposit bags, and much more.
The range of business checks available at PrintE-Z includes computer checks, 3-to-a-page checks, one-write checks and compatible accounting software including QuickBooks and Peachtree. One Write Checks saves time and allow a company to get more work done within the available time.
A customer can order any of the different kinds of checks like business checks, computer checks or any other related product at anytime. The website has been totally refurbished with easy controls and quick links that allow visitors to access information on products, customer offers place orders directly. In line with its policy of providing affordable business printing solutions, the company offers attractive discounts to new customers and on package deals that include starter kits for the uninitiated.
Considering the rate at which the company is introducing new products and the speed at which orders are processed, it is expected that PrintE-Z.com will soon achieve its declared goal of becoming the top online source for business printing.
To get more information about the great deals and discounts that PrintE-Z.com offers on business and computer checks look up PrintE-Z.com or call the company at 1-888-246-0635.

By Erin Crowell
At first glance, the ConTEXTure sculptures currently on display at the Dennos Museum Center look like a mess, thrown together by a five-year-old with way too much glue and freedom. They are convoluted works of art, colorful pieces held together by strands of wire, paint and other (sometimes unidentifiable) household objects.
Chaos, you could say.
But look closer and you will understand the amount of thought and work that went into each piece; how the web of strands seem to suspend, hold and balance each work. Every sculpture is accompanied by a poem, words that hold that same intricacy and consideration.
Sculptor Bill Allen and poet Fleda Brown combined their arts to create ConTEXTure: A Conversation Between Artists in Two Forms. Now on display through June 13 at the Dennos Museum Center in Traverse City, the exhibit is a marriage one medium giving voice to the other.
So which is created first, the sculpture or the poem? Well, to ask that question is like asking, which came first, the chicken or the egg? Does it really matter?
Brown writes, not to explain the sculpture but to add the voice of the poet to its implications. Allen responds to a poem, envisioning what it says to him outside of language, as explained by the exhibit description.
So although each medium is a response to the other, we never really know which medium came first which serves as another way of provoking our thoughts.
Its also difficult to pinpoint where exactly Allen started on each sculpture. Unlike the seams of clothing, there is no way to identify a section. There is only a chaotic four-dimensional web, with lines going up, down, through and across. How he managed to maintain a four-dimensional shape during the construction is mind-boggling.
These strands that act as the skeleton of Allens sculptures isnt anything new.
If youre familiar with his early work, Bill Allen does life-like animal sculptures using the same strand technique, says Gene Jenneman, executive director of the museum. Its interesting to see the evolution of his work, moving into the abstract.
Jenneman visited Allens studio after several people approached him, encouraging him to see the collaboration between the two artists.
The museum has several pieces by Bill Allen in our collection, says curator Diana Bolander. We also did a solo exhibition of Bill Allens work in 1992. It was a pleasure to work with him again and to meet Fleda Brown and work with her.
Brown has also seen her art evolve, which is epitomized by the ConTEXTure exhibit.
I used to feel much more sense of where I was going with my poetry, which I dont do anymore, Brown states in a short 20-minute film that plays on-loop during museum hours.
The film is a conversation between Allen and Brown, explaining the process of creating the exhibit, which includes one-on-one interviews, readings by Brown and images of Allen working on some of his sculptures.
At first it was difficult, Allen says about his sculptures. I was trying to be descriptive, which I found out just wasnt going to work, so I talked to Fleda more. She told me, Think of the poem as a spark.
ConTEXTure is the first exhibit at the Dennos Museum Center which combines both visual art and written word.
I would say that visitors can expect to be surprised and engaged by the connections that they (as viewers) will draw between the sculpture and poems, says Bolander. The average time a museum visitor spends looking at a work of art is 30 seconds. For this show, more than 30 seconds is required to look at the work, read the poem and consider the poem and sculptures together.
The addition of poetry to sculpture makes for a whole different experience, adds Jenneman.
ConTEXTure: A Conversation Between Artists in Two Forms is open now through June 13 at the Dennos Museum Center, located on the main campus of Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City. Museum hours are Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Sunday, 1-5 p.m. Admission is $6 for adults and $4 for children. Visit them online at dennosmuseum.org.

Get Her Number
Page 1 of 3This week's letter comes from a guy who messed up by not asking for a girl's phone number right away.
reader's question Hey Doc,
I've had your book for a few months now, and I have to say that it's helping me see the light as far as women and dating go.
I'm interested in Valerie, a very attractive young woman in my psychology class. I noticed her checking me out from the beginning, but I tried to remain a Challenge and waited until she initiated a conversation with me one day after class. I kept it light and easy and teased her. The conversation kept going, but — I know, this was probably a mistake — instead of asking for her home phone number, I said, "Valerie, would you like to grab a cup of coffee with me?" She said, "Right now?" and I answered, "Yes, let's go to the Starbucks right down the street."
we went for coffeeSo we went and drank coffee for 35 minutes. (I paid for the date, by the way). During these 35 minutes, she asked lots of personal questions like "What do you do?" "What are you studying in college?" "Tell me about your family," and so on. I saw all of these questions as buying signals. However, Valerie did not touch me once during this impromptu coffee date.
My question to you is this: Should she have touched me during this date or does that only apply to the first FULL date (restaurant and dancing and the like)?
i asked for her number One more thing. I made the mistake — due to anxiety and being new to your principles — of not asking for her home phone number after the date. The next time I saw her, I did ask for it, however. Her answer was that she didn't have a home phone. She then told me, "I have a cell phone, though." I then said, "I don't want the cell phone, I want the HOME phone number, the hardwired phone." She asked for my cell phone number, but I refused to give it to her.
Was this the wrong thing to do? Your coaching is going to save my life, Doc.
Jay - who hopes he hasn't ruined everything
doc love's answer Hi Jay,
Helping you to see the light is the whole idea behind my philosophy. In other words, when it comes to women, I want to take you from a C-minus student to a solid straight-A student.
The good and the bad of Jay's situation…

'Homeland' Review: 'I'll Fly Away' (Season 2, Episode 8)
This season of Homeland has really pushed the boundaries of believability, sometimes veering into directions that are downright ridiculous. But, as with any series, loyal fans will forgive the writers when they ask their audience to suspend disbelief so completely that all sense of realism is ignored. In the season's first episode, we knew it was absurd to think the CIA would send an ex-agent who suffered a mental breakdown less than a year earlier back into the field because of one potential contact. We all smiled and nodded when Carrie was allowed to have contact with Brody again, even though they had an affair and he was at least partly the cause of her breakdown. These missteps can be chalked up to dramatic license and the need for enticing storytelling. But last night's episode ("I'll Fly Away") reaches a new level of ludicrousness (that's a word) when Carrie essentially kidnaps Brody and has sex with him in a motel room.
But let's back up. After last week's pretty much standalone episode ("The Clearing"), we get back into Brody's work as a triple agent and the potential breakdown he may be facing himself. He's got Carrie and the CIA pressuring him to keep up appearances with Roya Hammad so that he can lead them to Abu Nazir. He's got Roya testing his loyalty to Nazir, unaware Brody is working for the CIA. And he's got his wife and family who are struggling to deal with Dana's involvement in a hit and run accident that killed a woman. To make matters worse, both the CIA and Vice President Walden are telling Brody (for different reasons) NOT to tell the cops because he could bring the wrong kind of attention to himself.
So, when Brody goes to meet with Roya in a public place, it's no surprise he has a mini-breakdown. As Roya attempts to assuage his concerns he tells her he's finished helping Abu Nazir, leaving her and the CIA (who are eavesdropping) scratching their heads. Carrie catches up to him and tells him he can't blow his cover because she is their only link to Nazir. Seeing he is close to self-destructing, she takes his keys and drives them to a seedy motel way outside town. After she talks him down, they have sex, completely unaware that Saul, Peter and about half a dozen CIA agents are listening in.
At this point, in real life, Carrie would be thrown out of the CIA (quite possibly in a literal sense) for sleeping with 1) a terrorist who is 2) an informant/mole. I mean, come on. Saul and Co. try to play it off like "She was doing what she had to do to keep Brody in play," but it is insane to ask viewers to buy that nonsense. We can stomach Carrie confessing her love to Brody in a taped interview session as a way to convince him to help them stop the CIA, but asking us to believe there would be NO repercussions after having sex with the same man is just insulting. At the very least, Carrie should be taken off the mission and forbidden to have any contact with Brody whatsoever.
After their night of lust, Brody contacts Roya and tells her he wants another chance to show his loyalty. This results in Roya leading him to the middle of nowhere where he is abducted and brought to an empty warehouse. The episode ends with Brody coming to face to face with Abu Nazir who is, apparently, now on U.S. soil. Though Carrie of course tried to prevent Brody from being taken away, she is left standing alone in a field wondering what would happen to him.
The rest of the episode is more filler of Dana struggling with the car accident and not knowing what to do. She ends up visiting the daughter of the woman she killed and finds out someone (not sure who) paid her a bunch of money not to go to the police or make a fuss about the accident. Upon hearing this, Dana becomes more distraught. How this storyline can do anything but fizzle away is beyond me.
Hopefully the show will get back on track sooner rather than later because the last couple of episodes have made the first season look like a fluke. For a series that promised at least several seasons of riveting television, let's hope that's not the case.

Begrudged old lady lives in Zhongli Family Mart
The China Post news staff
January 4, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- A 50-year-old woman who resides in Hsinchu (新竹) has been "living" in a Family Mart convenience store in Zhongli (中壢), Taoyuan City (桃園) for over a month, reading newspapers on display in the store, sleeping with her head on a table and occupying a seat with her purse when she has to leave the store for a moment.
Zhongli police said the woman, surnamed Cheng, has a grudge against her daughter-in-law — they often argue over parenting issues, and Cheng thinks her son does not care about her anymore. Cheng thus decided to run away from home and wandered to Taoyuan from Hsinchu.
The convenience store manager, surnamed Hung, said Cheng came to the store about a month ago and would not leave, noting that "she spends more time in the store than our staff." Hung noted that as Cheng now has an unpleasant smell, all staff and customers try to avoid her.
The Taoyuan County Government Social Welfare Bureau said officials talked with the woman, and they would buy lunch boxes for her sometimes; however, Cheng told them that she does not need help from them.
The bureau said as Cheng does not have mental issues, and she does not need financial aid as well, the bureau could not do anything in regards to the situation.
"I came to Zhongli to run some errands, I didn't bother anyone ... Can't I stay in a convenience store?" Cheng was quoted as saying by the United Daily News.
Police said at first Cheng refused to offer her ID, but after a talk she told them she had a fight with her family. Given that Cheng's family did not file a police report and Cheng has not interfered with anyone in the store, police cannot force her to leave the convenience store.
Police stressed that they would keep trying to reason with Cheng and assist her in reuniting with her family as soon as possible.

"Cheng has not interfered with anyone in the store, police cannot force her to leave the convenience store."
But she smells and occupies a seat that is for customers, I say that is interfering with people in the store.
So, anyone can squat in a 24hr shop, no need to get a hotel, find a 7-11 or if you're lucky a 24hr Wellcome or Carrefour and take a nap in their furniture section.
The woman is like a child, running away from home because of an argument. Doesn't this woman have a job or husband to go to?

Tell me everything about being hypnotized
Does anyone here have experience being hypnotized? I'm interested in maybe having someone poke around in the sub-basement, maybe even do a past-life-regression. Since I was about three I've had vivid, detailed dreams that take place in a time at least several centuries past. Cobblestone streets, etc. Also, about twenty years ago I had a terrible time with a suicidal friend, and directly afterward my life became so hectic that I never really dealt with my emotions about the experience, just "stuffed" them. I'm interested in maybe having a hypnotist poke around and see what s/he can find or set loose. I'm not sure what to look for in a hypnotist or if this is a good idea, etc. Tips/opinions? Thanks.

Psaradakis, Zacharias (2010) On inference based on the one-sample sign statistic for long-range dependent data. Computational Statistics 25 (2), pp. 329-340. ISSN 0943-4062.Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00180-009-0179-3
This paper considers the problem of statistical inference based on the one-sample sign statistic for strictly stationary random processes which exhibit long-range dependence. Under Gaussian subordination, the limiting distribution of the sign statistic may be non-Gaussian and depends on unknown parameters. We examine how asymptotically valid inference may be carried out using subsampling. The small-sample performance of the method is also investigated by means of Monte Carlo experiments.

Add, Drop, Withdrawals
You can add, drop or withdraw from classes in person or online through your myAims account. Register or add courses as early as possible before the semester starts to get the best selection of courses. If you have to change your schedule, be sure to pay attention to the official deadlines for each course (see below).
Registration or Add Deadline: The deadline to register for a class is usually the point marking 7% of that course. For full-term Fall and Spring courses, this is 5 days into the semester. For Summer it is just 3 days into the semester, but shorter courses and late-starting courses have their own deadlines. Please be sure to read the course description in the Searchable Class Schedule for registration deadlines, prerequisites or other restrictions. After the 7% date has passed, adding or registering may be done on an exception basis only if space is available and the instructor has given signed permission to enroll late.
Drop and Withdrawal Deadlines: The deadline to drop a full-term course with a refund is the point marking 15% of the course. The deadline to withdraw from a full-term course (with no refund) is the point marking 75% of the course. Shorter courses have earlier deadlines. After you register for classes, be sure to make a note of the drop and withdrawal deadlines that show on your Printable Schedule in your myAims account.
Please do not assume you will be automatically withdrawn from a class by not attending. If you stop attending without dropping or withdrawing by the deadline, you will likely receive a failing grade and may still be responsible for paying for the course.
In case of emergencies, you may submit written drop or withdrawal requests to:

The Tucumcari High School wrestling team ended the season with a state champion, five state placers and a fourth-place finish overall.
Out of a dozen Rattlers who qualified, six placed and junior Augustine Sandoval won the Class A-AAA state championship in the 145 pound weight class.
"This has been the most stress-free season I have had as a coach," said Rattlers head coach Eddie Encinias. "To even place in the top four at state puts these guys in an elite group of athletes."
Encinias expected leadership would come from seniors Chris Apodaca and Esteban Martinez, and he wasn't disappointed.
"They really stepped up as captains of their team; we will be losing great leadership." Encinias said.
"Last year I placed fourth," Apodaca said. "This year I improved to third place at state."
Apodaca, who has wrestled for five years, said the experience was fun and he was pleased with how it ended.
Martinez, meanwhile, was a little disappointed for himself but pleased with everything else.
"Individually, I wish I would have done better," said Martinez, fourth in the 182-pound weight class. "As a team, I think we did well."
Sandoval, meanwhile, is focused on a title repeat.
"Winning a state championship is a motivation for me to keep working hard," Sandoval said.
Encinias said he is happy with the turnout of the season, the state performances and the doubling and tripling of individual wins among the team.
"This success is not due to good coaching," Encinias said. "It's the result of great leadership and the commitment of each of these guys to get better and push themselves everyday."
The challenge doesn't lessen. Encinias said the next group of Rattlers will face new competition as several schools, including Bloomfield, plan to drop into the 3A class.
"We are going to have to work harder throughout the season," junior Dillon Wood said. "As a senior I and the others will have to step up and remind everyone this season is going to be even tougher."
Encinias said he has four state placers coming back, and is confident with everybody on the squad.
"I am not worried at all," Encinias said. "Every year I throw more at these guys, and they respond well."

How's this for a bit of a turnaround. After several years of below average grades, Keith Law has the Phillies farm system ranked 14th in the majors.
Similar to Texas but with fewer prospects who are potential grade 65 or better players in the majors. I thought the Phillies had one of the best drafts, perhaps the best of anyone, in 2013, landing a few high-ceiling high school kids — such as shortstop J.P. Crawford — while mixing in some solid college bats like catcher Andrew Knapp.
You know the names well: Franco, Biddle, Quinn, Tocci, etc. Finally, one of the foremost experts on the minor leagues has given some praise to a system that hasn't had much going right for it lately. After unloading many of their best names in the Cliff Lee, Hunter Pence, and Roy Oswalt deals, among others, the depleted farm could finally be on it's way back to prominence.
On Wednesday, Law will release his Top 100 prospects list throughout baseball.
Currently, our own Jay Floyd is bringing the heat as he unveils the Phillies organizational rankings. You should be checking that out!
15 Comments
Quinn is iffy right now with the Achilles problem and prior to that he had a down year.
Uh ohhhh! I can see Ruben rubbing his palms together now contemplating a major trade full of players to be named later! Our top 3 prospects for infield depth. MINI MART!
I can hear him now. I'm just doing my do diligence to improve the team in a cost effective way by acquiring a very versatile player who can play a multitude of positions, he's a switch hitter with some speed, and a good bench guy. And I like him A LOT! I can't tell you how I have salivated over acquiring a man of his talent and integrity. Oh and did I mention he's over 30 now? He'll be a good fit. By signing him it gives us the flexibility to possibly move more of our top prospects to reacquire Pete Orr who just recently signed with another club. I'll make them an offer they can't refuse.
Hopefully either 1) the Phillies contend or 2) Ruben is gone before he would ever have the opportunity to do that.
Well it appears Rube isnt too high on Ruf. It also appears Rube has mixed feelings on Galvi or not much need for Galvis. With the multitude of utility guys RAJ has signed dont be surprised if he packages these two and possilby another for some mid tier pitching prospect or som teams 4/5 starter type.
I'm no expert on player development, but I really don't understand why RAJ does not have confidence in Ruf.
Phillies and low ranks shouldn't be used in the same sentence, MAN!
Even without high draft picks, the Phils system is now #14, slightly above mid-point, according to Law. Yet people are still griping that Amaro has and will continue to deplete the system of prospects. He hasn't traded a single prospect this offseason, and he only traded very questionable minor league talent last offseason. I can't believe the negativity on this site these days, and the hatred Amaro generates for trying to keep the run of division winning teams going by acquiring the proven talent he did.
And to Pat I have say that including the Lee trade as one that helped empty the farm is pretty off base. I can't think of even one of those guys who have made any kind of a name in the majors, and it's been years now.
There is no reason that Keith Law should say anything positive about the Phillies. He must be smoking marijuana in Colorado.
It's great to see some positive news, even if it only places the Phil's farm system in the middle of the pack. I guess we'll have something to look forward to in 2019. Houston was ranked number one – with both Jonathan Singleton and Domingo Santana being referenced. Law mentioned how they not only took advantage of their draft position, but also made astute moves when trading away veteran talent.
As far as trotting out the excuse of "not having high draft picks", it's not exactly that simple. The Cardinals have been a very competitive organization since 2000 (averaging 91 wins a season) yet continue to draft and develop young talent. They aren't just being lucky. The Phillies problem is more on the scouting side than it is in picking deeper in the draft.
Rags, since 2000 the Cardinals have had among the most first round picks in MLB. The Phillies have had among the least.
Total first round and compensation picks since 2000:
Cardinals 27 (17 first, and 10 supplemental): 6th in MLB
Phillies 15 (9 first, and 6 supplemental): 29th in MLB
First round picks only since 2000:
Cardinals 17: 3rd in MLB
Phillies 9: 30th and last in MLB
There's nothing like facts to ruin a good argument!
Also OT- It's interesting that D'arnaud has been traded twice for CY winners.
You're actually making my exact point. Isn't gaining compensation picks part of the FO decision making process? Knowing when to let a player go rather than signing him to bad contract extension? I will take the Cardinals' front office, including scouting and player development organizations over the Phillies' anytime.
The point was, you can contend and maintain a top farm system simultaneously. Are disagreeing with that? People continuously say the Phillies farm system went bankrupt because they were a contending team for six or seven years. Contending and having a strong farm system are not mutually exclusive if the team is making the right decisions.
Yes, you can contend and maintain a top farm system simultaneously.
But "contend" is not what the Phillies FO was trying to do from Oct 2008 through June 2012. They were trying to go deep into the playoffs and hopefully wring one more WS championship out of this core. It just didn't work.
By the way, even in 2000-2008, the Phillies ranked near the bottom in first round and supplemental picks: 26th in first rounders, and 24th in total picks before the 2nd round.
So middle of the pack, but yet somehow Ruin can't find any major league ready talent there, or is so clueless that there is some there but doesn't recognize it? AWESOME!
No, the talent is skewed towards the lower levels of the minors.

Funding sought for Highland river access; State funding application deadline nears
June 11, 2014 —
MONTICELLO, NY — Since Gov. Andrew Cuomo took office in 2010, a large chunk of the grant money the state gives to businesses and municipalities is awarded through something called a Consolidated Funding Application (CFA). This year there is a six-week window between the release of information about the available grant programs and the application deadline, which is June 16.
At a meeting at the government center on June 5, Freda Eisenberg, the county planning commissioner, reviewed eight of the projects for which the county is seeking funds in this round of grants.
For users of the Upper Delaware River, the most significant project may be the proposed river-access point in the Town of Highland. For the past several years the county has been successful in seeking funds through the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program, which have been used to fund surveys and studies of six proposed river-access facilities in the six river towns.
The grant requirement calls for a 50% county match, but the match requirement can be by in-kind efforts, in this case the work of county staff and volunteers. Eisenberg told lawmakers that about $45,000 in staff and volunteer time could be identified, so $45,000 will be the amount of grant funding requested.
Eisenberg said the money, "doesn't get us to the actual project, but it's the bridge between concept plans and the construction; the funding would provide full design and engineering… and environmental review."
Grey-fields study
Another project in the mix will be a county grey-field study. A grey field is a property that has been developed in the past but that no longer has a use, such as the many vacant hotel and guest room properties in the county.
Eisenberg said county staff would be used to make an inventory of those sites with photographs and related information. She said grant money would be used to pay consultants for a market study about what those sites might be used for. She added that a common shortfall that has been noted in previous studies about the county is a lack of hotel or motel rooms: not enough "beds for heads."
She said she had received two quotes for such a study, one for $50,000 and another for $75,000.
Legislator Jonathan Rouis noted that chain hotels do their own studies.
Eisenberg acknowledged that the big chains did their own studies, but in terms of accommodations, the county should know where it stands. She said with tourism being one of the top three county industries, along with healthcare and agriculture, "how can you have tourism without rooms?"

On March 18, 2013, the 17th annual Julius Marmur Symposium - A Graduate Student Research Symposium was held to honor exemplary research contributions made by graduate students at Einstein. The event honors the memory of Dr. Julius Marmur, a distinguished professor at Einstein who was respected and admired throughout the research community for his milestone discoveries in the fields of molecular biology and microbial genetics, and for his lifelong commitment to the education of graduate students.
The all-day event began with an awards ceremony in the morning, which featured introductory remarks from Dr. Victoria H. Freedman, associate dean for graduate programs and Dr. Edward R. Burns, executive dean of Einstein.
Next, three of this year's awardees — Laura Barreyro, Clarissa Melo Czekster and Hashem Dbouk — gave presentations of their award-winning research. A fourth awardee, Xiaoxuan Jia, who studied the gamma rhythm and its relationship with neuronal activity in early visual cortex under the guidance of Dr. Adam Kohn, was unable to attend the ceremony due to the pending arrival of her first child.
Ms. Barreyro's discussed her efforts to identify new therapeutic targets in acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplatic syndromes in the laboratory of Dr. Ulrich Steidl. Dr. Czekster, who currently is a postdoctoral associate at Yale University, described the thesis work she completed in the lab of Dr. John Blanchard, working with enzymes involved in folate metabolism in tuberculosis. And Dr. Dbouk, who completed his doctoral research under the mentorship of Dr. Jonathan Backer, presented his work on the regulation of p110β signaling and functions. He has since begun his postdoctoral studies at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
The morning session concluded with Mrs. Mildred Marmur, widow of the award's namesake, joining Dr. Freedman in presenting awards to the three recipients.
The event concluded with an afternoon session and reception at which nearly 50 graduate students and candidates in Einstein's Medical Scientist Training Program presented posters of their research findings. Typically attended by faculty members, graduate students and postdocs at Einstein, this session provides a valuable opportunity for students to showcase their research and interact with other members of Einstein's science community.
The Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences organized the symposium, with significant contributions from graduate students Rachel Salamon and Samantha Wilner in their roles as moderator and abstract editor, respectively.

Two Christian churches on Wednesday
filed a legal challenge in federal court to Hawaii's civil unions
law, claiming it's unconstitutional, Courthouse
News reported.
Governor Neil Abercrombie signed in
February the legislation that gives gay and straight couples nearly
all of the legal protections of marriage. The law is set to take
effect on January 1.

couples to enter civil unions at midnight on New Year's Eve in
The law violates the civil rights of
clergy and churches because it does not exempt them from hosting such
ceremonies, the lawsuit claims. (The law does exempt clergy from
solemnizing a civil union for any reason.)
"Neither Act 1 not it's [sic]
implementing regulations exempt religious institutions, churches and
houses of worship, clergy, officers and members from being subject to
the injunctive relief and fine provisions of H.R.S. 489," the
complaint says. "Within the last 12 months, private individuals
have already initiated complaints with the Hawaii Civil Rights
Commission against churches and houses of worship for refusing to
rent their facilities for same-sex unions and/or marriage

MSc in Mathematical Finance by Online Distance Learning
MSc in Mathematical Finance
make options your future
make futures your option
This distance learning programme builds on the strength and success of the campus-based taught MSc in Mathematical Finance at the University of York. The online MSc was launched in September 2009 to run alongside the campus-based programme.
Applications are invited for entry in February 2017 and September 2017. Candidates should submit their application at least 2 weeks before an intake is due to start. Please go to the Enquiries and Applications section to find contact details and information for candidates.
A online Pre-sessional Programme is available for candidates who need to strengthen or consolidate their mathematics background before embarking on the MSc. Such candidates need to apply at least 3 months before an MSc intake is due to start. Admission to the presessional course is at the discretion of the admissions tutor.
Online students will be developing skills and competence in Mathematical and Quantitative Finance which are of direct relevance in the field of work, and can open up fantastic employment and progression opportunities. Please see the Careers and Destinations section.
The online programme has built-in flexibility to meet the needs of distance learners from diverse backgrounds:
"Studying at York for the MSc in Mathematical Finance was an amazing experience for me. Excellent textbooks and friendly tutors allowed me to master quite sophisticated mathematics and excel in most subjects. Interactive lectures just a mouse-click away provided me with opportunity to study at home, on the move, everywhere! This is the future of higher education indeed. The course is a great way to master a complex discipline for people who lead busy lives. I believe that having a degree from York was a significant help for advancing my career. The course equipped me with an in-depth understanding of how modern finance works. It gave me confidence and knowledge necessary when going through job interviews. People's respect was also quite tangible whenever they learned that I have a degree from a leading university."
Valeriy Kovalevskiy (Fund Management Company, Australia)
The distance learning programme is delivered online using Internet conferencing and application sharing software and a web-based Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
A distinctive feature are regular 1-to-1 ("Oxbridge style") online tutorials and supervisory sessions. For more details see the Online Teaching and Learning section.
Interactive presentations are provided on CDs and for downloading via the VLE in lieu of lectures, supported by lecture notes, worked exercises, synchronous 1-to-1 online tutorials and an asynchronous discussion forum. Please see a demonstration of the VLE and a CD presentation sample:
No presence on campus is required, but access to suitable hardware, software and a good Internet connection are necessary pre-requisites. Please see the Software and Hardware section.
The online MSc programme consists of three stages: Certificate, Diploma and Dissertation, preceded by a brief Induction Period. The Programme Structure section provides the contents and specifications for the modules comprising each of these stages.
There are two 4-month teaching periods in each academic year, October-January and March-June, and two intakes per year, in October and March. Completing the online MSc can take from 18 months (Fast Stream) to 36 months (Standard Stream). Transfers between the two Streams are possible between stages. The Timing and Pathways section provides more details.
Students have remote access to electronic library resources, and full pastoral and study support including a personal supervisor and a dissertation supervisor; see Library Services for Distance Learners and Support for Online Students.
Assessment is by means of written coursework submitted electronically and a recorded online Viva Voce (an oral examination) held at the end of each of the three stages (Certificate, Diploma, Dissertation) of the programme.
