MEMORANDUM-DECISION and ORDER
DAVID N. HURD, District Judge.
Plaintiffs, the People of the State of New York, by Eric. T. Schneiderman, Attorney General of the State of New York (" plaintiffs" ) were granted a permanent injunction on August 24, 2001,[2] enjoining pro-life activist defendants Joseph Kraeger (" Mr. Kraeger" ), Victoria Kraeger (" Mrs. Kraeger" ), Sheri Kraeger (" Sheri" ), and Vicki Jo Syversen (" Vicki Jo" ) (collectively " defendants" ) from obstructing access to the Planned Parenthood Mohawk Hudson Clinic, a reproductive health care facility in Utica, New York (the " clinic" ). Plaintiffs now move to modify the permanent injunction. Defendants oppose and cross-move to modify the permanent injunction. Plaintiffs oppose.
The motions were considered on their submissions without oral argument.
Plaintiffs brought this case in 2001 in order to enjoin defendants' illegal obstruction and threatening activities at reproductive health care facilities in the Northern District of New York. After a bench trial, it was found that defendants had engaged in " many acts of force, threats of force, and physical obstruction" at the clinic. New York v. Kraeger, 160 F.Supp.2d 360, 375 (N.D.N.Y.2001). It was determined that defendants had committed multiple violations of the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, 18 U.S.C. § 248, and the New York State Clinic Access Act, N.Y. Civ. Rights Law section 79-m. Id. at 365-76. For a complete recitation of the facts of this case, and defendants' protest activities at the clinic, reference is made to the Kraeger decision. Id. at 364-70. In order to ensure unrestricted access to the clinic for patients and staff, a permanent injunction was issued which established a buffer zone in front of the clinic and enjoined defendants from being present in the buffer zone. Id. at 379.[3]
The clinic, located at 1424 Genesee Street in Utica, provides various reproductive health services, including counseling and medical services related to birth control, pregnancy, and abortion. The front of the clinic building faces Genesee Street, with Francis Street running along the back of the clinic. As of the date the permanent injunction was issued, the clinic's driveway (the " old driveway" ) was located on the north side of the property and
Page 226
ran east to west alongside the clinic from Genesee Street to Francis Street, and ended in a parking lot in back of the clinic. Id. at 365. Nurses Candlelight Park (" Nurses Park" ), a public park, is located adjacent to the clinic, to the north of the old driveway. Separating the old driveway and Nurses Park is a concrete and stone wall (the " dragon wall" ), the Nurses Park driveway, and a wooden fence.[4]
In April 2012, the clinic purchased additional land adjacent to its current location and began construction efforts to expand its facilities. The clinic's land acquisition and expansion includes the addition and usage of the Nurses Park driveway (the " new driveway" ) and Nurses Park parking lot (the " new parking lot" ), both of which are outside the buffer zone. The new driveway will provide vehicles entrance to and exit from the new parking lot via both Genesee Street and Francis Street.
The building expansion includes a new secure side entrance, built on space formerly occupied by the old driveway. As of September 2012 while construction of the side entrance was ongoing, patients and staff could only access the new parking lot by using either: (1) the Francis Street entrance to the new driveway, or (2) the Francis Street entrance to the old driveway (both located at the back of the clinic). After construction of the side entrance is complete, patients and staff will have three points of access to the new parking lot: (1) the Genesee Street entrance to the new driveway, (2) the Francis Street entrance to the new driveway, and (3) the Francis Street entrance to the old driveway. As a result, the clinic will no longer use the Genesee Street entrance to the old driveway, which is currently included in the buffer zone.
The new property line extends twenty-four feet beyond the boundary of the buffer zone. Specifically, the new property line extends to the wooden fence north of the clinic. A significant part of the sidewalk and curb in front of the clinic building, which will now be used by patients and staff to access the clinic, is not included in the parameters of the buffer zone.
" Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(5) permits a party to obtain relief from a judgment or order if, among other things, ' applying [the judgment or order] prospectively is no longer equitable.' " Horne v. Flores, 557 U.S. 433, 447, 129 S.Ct. 2579, 2593, 174 L.Ed.2d 406 (2009) (quoting Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b)(5)). Under Rule 60(b)(5), a party may request modification of a judgment or order if " ' a significant change either in factual conditions or in law' renders continued enforcement ' detrimental to the public interest.' " Id. (quoting Rufo v. Inmates of Suffolk Cnty. Jail, 502 U.S. 367, 384, 112 S.Ct. 748, 760, 116 L.Ed.2d 867 (1992)); Davis v. N.Y.C. Hous. Auth., 278 F.3d 64, 88 (2d Cir.2002) (" It is ... well established that a district court has the power, in the exercise of its discretion, to modify its past injunctive decrees in order to accommodate changed circumstances." ). " The source of the power to modify is of course the fact that an injunction often requires continuing supervision by the issuing court and always a continuing willingness to apply its powers and processes on behalf of the party who obtained that equitable relief." System Fed'n No. 91 v. Wright, 364 U.S. 642, 647, 81 S.Ct. 368, 371, 5 L.Ed.2d 349 (1961); Benjamin v. Jacobson, 172 F.3d 144, 161-62 (2d Cir.1999). The party seeking the
Page 227
modification carries the burden of demonstrating the significant change in circumstances. Rufo, 502 U.S. at 383, 112 S.Ct. at 760. Finally, because defendants' First Amendment rights are implicated, any modification to the permanent injunction must still be (1) content neutral and (2) " burden no more speech than necessary to serve a significant government interest." Madsen v. Women's Health Ctr., Inc., 512 U.S. 753, 765, 114 S.Ct. 2516, 2525, 129 L.Ed.2d 593 (1994).
Plaintiffs contend that under the current buffer zone, defendants would be permitted to access clinic patients and staff and obstruct access to the entrance of the clinic by blocking the walkway and new driveway entrances. Accordingly, plaintiffs seek the expansion of point 1 of the buffer zone, which is currently a point on the west side of the sidewalk perpendicular with utility pole number 28, to a point on the west side of the sidewalk perpendicular with the fire hydrant next to the curb (the " proposed buffer zone" ). The fire hydrant is 4.5 feet north of the new property line. By contrast, utility pole number 28 which marks the boundary of the current buffer zone, is approximately 3 feet from the original property line. This expansion would include the Genesee Street entrance to the new driveway. The proposed buffer zone is indicated on a diagram submitted by plaintiffs. Davis Decl., Sept. 14, 2012, Ex. G.
In addition, plaintiffs contend the two driveway entrances located on Francis Street at the rear of the clinic, and also the entire length of the driveways, should be included in the new buffer zone. Plaintiffs urge this is necessary because the driveways are no longer protected by the dragon wall, thus there would be nothing to stop defendants from entering the driveways at a point not included in the buffer zone. Plaintiffs contend these changes will ensure that the new driveway entrance on Genesee Street, the new driveway entrance on Francis Street, and the old driveway entrance on Francis Street— all three of which will be regularly used by patients and staff— are protected.
However, plaintiffs have failed to provide a map of the back of the clinic, or otherwise indicate precisely what is included in their proposed buffer zone as it applies to Francis Street. It appears from photographs that the two driveway entrances on Francis Street are separated by a piece of public sidewalk. It is unclear whether this is included in the proposed buffer zone. Nor have plaintiffs provided any markers for where the buffer zone would begin and end at the back entrance to the clinic. It is also unclear from the submissions where or how the Francis Street entrance to the new driveway and the Francis Street entrance to the old driveway intersect, meet, or otherwise lead to the new parking lot. The diagram of the proposed buffer zone submitted by plaintiffs fails to indicate any buffer zone on Francis Street.
Defendants contend the proposed buffer zone would impose burdensome new restrictions on their First Amendment liberty. Specifically, they assert the proposed buffer zone includes the following restrictions: (1) a 28.5 foot northward expansion of the buffer zone to include, for the first time, a swath of public sidewalk on Genesee Street as well as the driveway apron of the new parking lot, and (2) a westward expansion of the buffer zone that would effectively establish an entirely new buffer zone on Francis Street, where defendants have been advocating without restrictions since the permanent injunction was issued in 2001. They assert that the proposed buffer zone on Francis Street would run the entire length of the sidewalk behind the clinic, encompassing not only the old and new driveway entrances, but all of the
Page 228
public sidewalk at the rear of the clinic. They contend this is unnecessary because the Francis Street sidewalk is already separated from the rear of the clinic by a chain link fence and approximately 200 feet of private property.
Defendants assert they have demonstrated lawfully, peacefully, and less frequently at the clinic over the past eleven years since the buffer zone was created in 2001. As a result, not only should the proposed buffer zone be rejected, but the buffer zone should be eliminated based on the clinic's acquisition of the new property. Defendants argue that since the clinic has abandoned the Genesee Street entrance to the old driveway, it reverts to the status of a public sidewalk used solely by pedestrians. Further, the new secure side entrance will allow patients and staff to enter the clinic directly from the new parking lot, a distance from defendants and other pro-life advocates. Based on this, defendants contend the clinic has created a private property bubble zone, rendering superfluous the current buffer zone.
In the years since the establishment of the buffer zone, defendants have continued their protest activities and maintained a presence outside the clinic, with the exception of Vicki Jo, who asserts she has been to the clinic only six times since 2001. The remaining defendants regularly engage in pro-life advocacy at the clinic; Mr. and Mrs. Kraeger approximately twice a month, and Sheri once a week. Plaintiffs contend defendants' activities include screaming and shouting at patients and staff as they enter and exit the clinic, and holding up large signs with graphic images just outside the buffer zone. Plaintiffs assert that defendants spend time protesting on both the Genesee Street and Francis Street sides of the clinic. By contrast, defendants characterize their activities as holding signs, offering literature, and vocalizing their pro-life message to people approaching or leaving the clinic. Moreover, Sheri and Vicki Jo contend they have hardly ever been on the Francis Street side of the clinic since 2001; Sheri four times and Vicki Jo only twice.
It is undisputed that there have been no post-injunction criminal citations of any of the defendants related to their pro-life advocacy at the clinic. However, plaintiffs contend that defendants continue to engage in activities to frighten patients and staff, including Mrs. Kraeger hiding behind a tree or fence and shouting statements at patients and staff about killing babies as they walk by. Plaintiffs also assert that as recently as 2011, defendants videotaped patients as they entered the clinic, and since June 2012 have increased their harassment on Francis Street. Specifically, plaintiffs allege that on June 28, 2012, Mr. Kraeger followed closely behind a patient and screamed about killing babies. Finally, plaintiffs allege that on August 27, 2012, defendants repeatedly blocked the Francis Street driveway.[5]
Mrs. Kraeger contends she does not hide anywhere, and merely elevates her voice to be heard from a distance as required due to the buffer zone. Defendants assert they have not engaged in any videotaping since 2002 when their video camera broke, and even then they only videotaped themselves for protective purposes. Further, defendants dispute that any harassment has occurred, let alone an increase since June 2012. They maintain they have engaged in the same sort of activities at the clinic without citation since the permanent injunction was issued in 2001. Mr. Kraeger denies the June 28, 2012, allegation,
Page 229
stating that it is an exaggeration of protected conduct. With respect to obstructing the Francis Street driveway, Mr. and Mrs. Kraeger reply that the Francis Street driveway is not covered by the buffer zone, and assert they have never obstructed the passage of cars on Francis Street. Instead, they walk back and forth on the public sidewalk portion of the driveway apron and hand literature to people who roll down their windows to accept it. Finally, they dispute the characterization of the August 27, 2012, driveway blocking incident. According to Mr. and Mrs. Kraeger, a woman rolled down her window, had an amicable conversation with Mr. Kraeger, and accepted literature from him on the public sidewalk before driving away.
Plaintiffs have carried their burden to demonstrate that the clinic's land acquisition constitutes a significant change in circumstances. Accordingly, the buffer zone will be modified to account for the change in property line. With regard to the front of the clinic, the fire hydrant on Genesee Street is a readily identifiable, public landmark that will provide clarity to defendants and law enforcement officials about the limits imposed on defendants' activities at the clinic. Point 1 of the buffer zone will therefore be modified to a point on the west side of the sidewalk perpendicular with the fire hydrant next to the curb. The remaining parameters of the buffer zone will remain as provided for in the August 24, 2001, Memorandum-Decision and Order. This modification will ensure the continuing effectiveness of the permanent injunction while preserving defendants' ability to exercise their free speech rights in a reasonable manner. The modification is consistent with the goal of the permanent injunction, which was to protect patients and staff from illegal activity by the defendants at the key points of pedestrian and vehicular access to the clinic, and is tailored to burden no more speech than is necessary to effectuate that goal. The new buffer zone is indicated on Exhibit A, attached to this Memorandum-Decision and Order.
Plaintiffs' request to expand the buffer zone to include any portion of Francis Street will be denied. Even taking as true defendants' characterization of their protest activities, it is obvious they maintain a presence on Francis Street and currently have unrestricted access to patients and staff attempting to enter and exit the clinic via Francis Street because that area is not included in the buffer zone. However, plaintiffs have wholly failed to present any evidence as to the boundaries of a proposed buffer zone on Francis Street. The logistics of the Francis Street access points have never been litigated; in fact, the Francis Street area was not even discussed in Kraeger. At this time, the buffer zone will not be modified to include the Francis Street entrances.[6]
Finally, with respect to defendants' motion for a modification and/or complete elimination of the buffer zone, they have not shown that a modification is necessary to accommodate a significant change in circumstances. They base their motion on the addition of the secure side entrance and the effectiveness of the permanent injunction thus far. Despite defendants' assertions to the contrary, the creation of the secure side entrance does not mean that the front entrance on Genesee Street will no longer be used or no longer requires protection. Testimony from clinic
Page 230
employees establishes that the front entrance will still be used. Further, as noted, the absence of any post-injunction criminal citations merely demonstrates defendants' compliance with a legal order and indicates that the injunction was successful in its protection of the clinic's access points. For these reasons, defendants' motion to modify the permanent injunction will be denied.
Plaintiffs have demonstrated that the clinic's land acquisition and subsequent reconfiguration of access to the clinic constitute a significant change in circumstances warranting a modification of the permanent injunction. Plaintiffs will only be granted a modification to the Genesee Street buffer zone, as reflected in Exhibit A attached to this Memorandum-Decision and Order. No portions of Francis Street will be included in the buffer zone. This modification is consistent with the goal of the permanent injunction and burdens no more speech than necessary. Finally, defendants have not shown and cannot show that the buffer zone should be reduced or eliminated.
Therefore, it is
ORDERED that
1. Plaintiffs' motion for modification of the permanent injunction is GRANTED as it relates to Genesee Street;
2. The parameters of the buffer zone established by the August 24, 2001, permanent injunction are expanded to now include:
From a point on the west side of the sidewalk perpendicular with the fire hydrant next to the curb on Genesee Street (point 1); proceeding in an easterly direction through said fire hydrant to a point ten feet east of the west curb of Genesee Street (point 2); proceeding in a southerly direction parallel to the west curb to a point perpendicular with utility pole number 90 (point 3); and proceeding in a westerly direction through said utility pole to a point on the west side of the sidewalk (point 4);
3. Plaintiffs' motion for modification of the permanent injunction is DENIED without prejudice as it relates to Francis Street; and
4. Defendants' motion for a modification of the permanent injunction is DENIED.

The aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita has revived an old idea that the federal government maintain lists of rapid response teams comprised of private sector technical experts to help rebuild after a disaster or terrorist attack. Called the "NET Guard," Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) originally proposed this idea as part of the legislation that created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The provision (below) was included in the final agreement, but the department has never implemented the program. Yesterday Senators Wyden and George Allen (R-VA) released a bipartisan letter calling on the department to implement this law.

Carter-Baker Commmission gets it partly right
Update (Sept. 26) — Carter and Baker have issued a response to some of the criticism their report has received — their comments appeared in the NY Times on Sept. 23 and are available here.
As pointed out in today's Washington Post, the Federal Commission on Election Reform (led by former president Jimmy Carter and former secretary of state James A. Baker III) issued its report today which recommends

Policy Makers Return to DC With Full Agenda
After a quiet August things are really picking up in Washington. Congress' attention is squarely focused on the suffering and hardship caused by hurricane Katrina. ACM's President Dave Patterson issued a statement to ACM members with suggestions on what the technology community can do to help.
While dealing with this disaster will likely remain Congress' primary focus for the rest of the year, there are some key technology issues that are still pending. Among the most pressing is identity theft legislation. As we have reported, House and Senate members have introduced several competing proposals (here is a comparison of the major bills). Considering the full legislative schedule this fall, it isn't clear whether or not these bills will slip into next year. In addition, Congress is still working on legislation to regulate spyware, transition from analog to digital television, funding for information technology research and development, and patent reform among others. The Administration is engaged on several fronts of technology policy including proposed restrictions foreign researchers access to technology and new guidelines for voting systems. We will preview or cover some of the key points on these issues as they move forward.
ACM will also be releasing two major studies sometime later this year. The first examines global job migration trends resulting from outsourcing and offshoring of IT jobs. The second outlines issues related to statewide voter registration databases. Federal law requires states to have these systems installed by first of next year.

"The Island as a topological Model: Spaces of Representation inside und outside Cuba in the Early 21st Century"
Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Ottmar Ette (Universität Potsdam)
The particular context of contemporaneous Cuba expresses a well-known isolation. Its history is one of separations and links with the rest of Latin American history and a peculiar process in the political, economic and cultural aspects. It is undeniable that since the last half of 20th century, the Cuban space is a privileged issue by which to examine the pre-revolutionary and post-revolutionary discourses and debates; identity problems, the diaspora und his consequences, conceptual trans territoriality and his cultural imaginaries. For that reason, the research is conducted chronologically, in which the aesthetic tendencies and thoughts are in nuce imbricated to describe the contemporaneous Cuban reality.
The analysis is focused in some writings of José Lezama Lima, Alejo Carpentier, Roberto Fernández Retamar and Antonio Benítez Rojo (cultural and literary milestones), which qualify the ideas of insularity in Cuba within the paradox "place and -non-place- " between 1950 and 1989.
In the years following the so-called Special Period is noted the configurations and discussions on the categories that express the aesthetic und cultural imaginaries of the insularity. (v.gr Iván de la Nuez, Antonio José Ponte, Carlos Alberto Aguilera, Wendy Guerra). The island will be the conceptual platform from which the aesthetic representations, cultural characteristics and his diachronic process will be delineated as well. In other words, a net of categories will be made on the Cuban simiospherical place to express the connections and reorganization of the insular place.

3-Day School Holiday Program
Teen Start-Up: First Responders is an innovation camp for 12-18* year olds during the January school holidays.
The theme for this competition is "First Responders". Actions taken in the first minutes of an emergency are critical and first responders play a crucial role in everything from natural disasters like floods, fires, earthquakes and cyclones; to criminal acts; pandemic outbreaks; car accidents; chemical spills and even shipwrecks.
Over three fun-filled days, students are taken through the innovation development process from idea to execution. Students form teams, work with mentors, hear from industry experts and come up with an idea for a business or social enterprise and then pitch their concept to a panel of judges.
Teams will be looking at problems encountered by our first responders in managing emergency situations – the police, paramedics, State Emergency Services, army, public health departments, Hazmat teams, hospital emergency departments and the fire brigade. They will be challenged to come up with innovative solutions to predicting, managing and avoiding emergency situations.
*If your child is 11 and will be starting Year 7 in 2017, they are welcome to attend.

Practice areas & skills: Criminal Defense
If you are suspected of a crime or charged with a violation of law, you may require the services of a criminal defense attorney to present your defense or negotiate a penalty. As different rules and procedures exist for different offenses, you should seek a criminal defense attorney who has worked on your particular type of case to provide you with the best defense. An experienced criminal defense attorney knows what information the government will need to prove your guilt. The defense attorney will also know what information you need to prove your innocence, including whether there are any legal rules justifying your actions.

Who are the most important members of the Phillies organization heading into 2016? That's the question we asked ourselves in creating the 2016 Phillies Power Poll.
Here's the gist: Rank the 50 people most important to the success of the Phillies as an organization going into the season. They can be executives and administrators, coaches, players, prospects, entertainers or broadcasters. All parts of the organization are fair game. We at Phillies Nation individually ranked entrants, and averaging the ranks together – along with light tinkering – we settled on this list.
We started the 2016 Phillies Power Poll last week with Honorable Mention candidates. Monday we unveiled 50-41. Tuesday we showed you 40-31. Wednesday we brought you 30-21. Thursday it was Nos. 20-11.
Today is the top-10.
10. Sal Agostinelli
Director of International Scouting
Agostinelli will be under plenty of pressure, with the Phillies having the largest allotment of money for any major league team in this year's international signing period. That's not to say money isn't an issue, though, as Agostinelli and his staff will need to make sure to spend and distribute those funds in the best possible manner. Does that mean breaking the bank (and incurring a penalty) on one or two big and well-hyped names, or collecting a number of international assets with slightly less hype? That's the ongoing challenge. – Jay Floyd
9. Aaron Nola
Starting Pitcher, Philadelphia Phillies
Is there a sure thing on the 2016 opening day roster? Aaron Nola is probably the closest thing. When he was selected in the first round of the 2014 First-Year Player Draft, Nola was immediately branded a likely No. 3 starter, sometimes a No. 2, sometimes a No. 4, but usually, definitely, at No. 3. Good command. Good poise. Advanced stuff. Open-shut. And as Nola coasted through Clearwater, Reading and Lehigh Valley over the course of one full season, he was again branded a likely No. 3 starter, same as before. Then, after 13 relatively successful starts in Philadelphia, starting in July 2015 (3.59 ERA, 68 K, 19 BB), well … you get it. Nola has been consistent, exactly as advertised, maybe even a tick better. If he stays that way he's an obvious key to the future. Chances are decent.
8. Andy MacPhail
President of Baseball Operations
On June 29, 2015, MacPhail came into our lives to help move the Phillies from one era to another, but in a sense he's here to help move the Phils from a long past with the same cast of characters, to a new future that could look substantially different in five to 10 years.
His job is to work with the tools in front of him and bring in the right people to help lead that future; so far he has enlisted former co-worker Matt Klentak, who has begun to enter the Phils into the analytics conversation. MacPhail has said he's here to listen, work with his teammates and develop the best possible strategy for the future. He has ownership support, impressive coffers and the benefit of being in a large market, plus great fans, a fantastic stadium and training complex in Florida, and development pipelines throughout the country and internationally.
The goal for MacPhail is a championship opportunity for the organization. He has plenty of power – and tools – with which to do that, and he'll have to rely on his teammates, but optimism is shining for the first time in a few years. Everything is starting to fall into place, but execution will be the ultimate challenge.
7. Matt Klentak
General Manager
The Phillies' new general manager is an Ivy League grad in his mid-30s. He embraces analytics while admitting the importance of organic scouting and hands-on technique. Only time will tell if it works, but Klentak looks like the right person to lead the front office into the future.
Obviously Klentak's job is important – he is the general manager, the person responsible for acquiring talent and setting up the major league club to succeed. He oversees development and scouting, and works with countless directors, managers, associates and other employees to ensure the machine is humming with an eye to both the present and the future. He's ultimately responsible for success and failure, and as general manager, is the obvious public target when things go wrong. As Ruben Amaro Jr. knows, the fans can and will quickly show their disappointment with you. And it all can become a spiral.
But we're in the first year of Klentak's run as general manager. He inherited a good farm system that he improved a little during the offseason. He inherited a major league team that stinks but is showing transition through some true young talent. And he inherited the opportunity to spend some money when the time comes, a first-overall draft pick, a large international spending pool and one of baseball's biggest television markets that just struck a new deal, bringing the franchise even more money down the road. It's not a bad start for Klentak.
This year is still heavily focused on the future, with that draft pick looming and plenty of prospect development occurring at every level. But if things go well enough, Klentak will begin to position his major league team for more immediate success. Maybe a trade down the road? Maybe a big signing? Maybe not for a while. But the work begins now. All eyes are on Klentak as a new day dawns, even if his full power won't be exercised yet.
6. Mike Ondo
Director of Professional Scouting
Where the Phillies are headed, they're sure to continue to beef up their roster through trades – deals for players like Jeremy Hellickson and Charlie Morton could be on the horizon depending on their early success. Ondo, of course, will be a big part of the Phillies' filling needs within, as they arise.
Ondo already deserves loads of credit for helping the organization add names like Jake Thompson, Nick Williams, Jimmy Cordero, Jorge Alfaro, Vincent Velasquez, Mark Appel and several other players that should be part of the core when things begin to turn around for the team that lost the most games in the majors last year. Look for him to remain a critical factor in the Phils' rebuild as things move forward. – Jay Floyd
5. Maikel Franco
Third Baseman, Philadelphia Phillies
Over one weekend in Yankee Stadium last season, Franco showed Phillies fans just what he could bring to – let's say – the 2019 National League Championship Series. With mammoth home runs, solid defense and the ability to spray the ball throughout the outfield, Franco has all the tools necessary to be a middle-of-the-order talent for a competitive first-division team.
For the 23-year-old who put up a .280/.343/.497 line with 14 HR and 37 XBH in 335 appearances last season, 2016 is a year to show steady growth while playing a full season, if possible. That means no great regression (it's typically expected), static or better plate discipline, improving defense and no dramatic injuries (luckily Jeremy Hellickson is a teammate now). If this happens, Franco has the power to put his name into the core of the next great Phils team.
We certainly hope that's the case.
4. J.P. Crawford
Projected Shortstop, Lehigh Valley IronPigs
So much has already been written about Crawford's potential that there's nothing new to say. He's a brilliant hitter with good shortstop power potential, not speedy but fast enough to swipe his handful of bases each season, an outstanding fielder with a high baseball I.Q., and a clear leader who seems to always be having the time of his life. He's even already in Jonah Keri's top-50 trade value rankings. In short, the Phillies can build the future on his shoulders.
Of any person in the Phillies system who can take the field in Philadelphia today, tomorrow or in three years, Crawford is the most important. If he's good he'll bring fairweather fans back to the park. If he's good he'll get people to switch to CSN at 7:05 p.m. If he's good the Sunday afternoon games will be packed. If he's good our kids will be running around in Crawford shirseys at their fourth birthday party. If he's great he may be the first player to hoist the Phillies' third world championship trophy.
Yes there's mammoth pressure on Crawford – from the organization, the coaches and players, the media, the fans, and certainly from projection-happy bloggers like myself. But for the first time in a generation, an everyday player has met and eclipsed all very high expectations before ever stepping onto the field in Philly. That's why Crawford is important – because we made this so important to all of us.
3. Pete Mackanin
Manager, Philadelphia Phillies
With the Phillies in full rebuild mode, there is no one that will have a more hands-on impact on the future of the Phillies than Mackanin. With the daily flow of the organization surrounding him, it will be Mackanin's job to keep the players focused and ready to go in every dimension of the game, at any given moment.
There is no better person in the organization that will have a more direct result on each individual player that comes through the Phillies' major league team this year, and through the near future.The organizational morale has seen an uptick since the time Mackanin took over as manager, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down, since he was chosen for the job over multiple available candidates. Mackanin will have his mark on every player that is expected to be on the next winning Phillies team, and therefore earning himself a spot in the top-five of most of our writers' rankings. – Matthew Gephart
2. Joe Jordan
Director of Player Development
The argument between our No. 1 choice and Joe Jordan is almost a coin flip. Both men are intensely involved in the planning of the Phillies long-term future, but for Jordan, the heaviest work may have already passed.
That's not to say he's not important – not at all; in fact, Jordan is typically one of the most important people in the organization. His goal is to ensure the amateurs that come through the developmental system come out prepared to be professional baseball players. But after starting in October 2011, Jordan was immediately under pressure. While his general manager took one final stab at championship contention, Jordan had to ensure the next era of Phillies baseball was in good shape. It took a couple years – for a number of reasons – but Jordan can be held responsible for players like Crawford, Franco, Nola, Roman Quinn, Andrew Knapp, Cameron Rupp, Cesar Hernandez, Freddy Galvis, Cody Asche, Aaron Altherr and Ken Giles. That's a good start; really, Jordan should be lauded for developing some working major leaguers despite the organization's misplaced priorities from 2012-14.
There have been missteps, specifically Domonic Brown, Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez and first-round draft choices like Zach Collier and Larry Greene Jr., but even those four situations were much larger than simple player development. For the most part, Jordan – who, by the way, worked under Andy MacPhail in Baltimore some years back – has succeeded in giving the Phillies an opportunity to improve.
Now – for the first time since taking the job – Jordan has a stacked system, and plenty of those parts (Nick Williams, Jake Thompson, Mark Appel, Vincent Velasquez, Jorge Alfaro) are close to finished their amateur development, though there surely will be work to do with all of these players. For Jordan in 2016, it's likely more important to look further down the line at Cornelius Randolph and Franklyn Kilome, two high-reward players with plenty of development left, and at whomever the Phils bring in with that first draft pick in June. Those may ultimately be the true legacy of Joe Jordan.
1. Johnny Almaraz
Director of Amateur Scouting
2016 is a special year for the Phillies. For the first time since 1998 they have the first-overall pick in the First-Year Amateur Draft. So even with all the development and prospect watching we're doing this year, there may be no bigger date than June 9.
Almaraz, who runs amateur scouting in the organization, is the man ultimately in charge of that selection – and of every selection in the draft. Because his importance this year is paramount to so much of the Phillies' present and future, he is our choice for the most powerful Phillie of 2016.
Our Jay Floyd takes it from here:
I strongly felt that failing to rank Johnny Almaraz in the top spot right now would be a complete swing and a miss at getting this list done properly. In a year when a rebuilding Phillies organization has the top overall pick in the draft, the team's director of amateur scouting is under the most pressure to do his job right. The spotlight and focus of the entire draft is on such a spot, a pick the Phils have had only one time in their existence, when they selected Pat Burrell in 1998.
Mr. Almaraz, the spotlight shines on you.
5 Comments
Im somewhere between the casual sunday fan and a die hard baseball/fanatic. Seems that some people think Nola will be the next #1 Ace. I see him more as a #3 possibly a #2 but not a #1. So im glad that was thrown in. Though i fully admit i dont know a bunch of about baseball as most of the posters here probably do.
Nola has been rated by many scouts as being a likely #3, as are most the other pitchers currently in the Phils' system, so you probably know more than you think.
There's been an under the radar buzz about Nola's delivery and the stress it puts on his elbow. Hopefully, the dire predictions don't come to fruition.
I'd hardly call one article a "buzz."
I must admit, though, that some of the video I've seen of Nola is pretty scary. His shoulder looks as if it's deformed at one point in his delivery. Either that or he's double jointed.
I wish that arm issues were more predictable, but I've yet to read any definitive answers on why some arms fall apart and some don't.
O'Leary's track record on predictions is pretty good: http://www.chrisoleary.com/projects/PitchingMechanics101/Essays/TheList.html

Ripped Off!!
"I am AbbeWilliam victim of this software house. I order to him create my website .He started my website but this team leave the my project middle in run away. I am so lucky meet the guy Andrew he is senior web developer in MS Global Inc. He started middle of my project and very low budget. I suggest you to all contact this guy and tell him your problem he defiantly solve the problem.
"Techonweb was raided by the FBI back in April 2011. After hearing that news, I was surprised to see they stayed in business for as long as they did after the raid. Be careful who you buy from!!!!"
"Word to the wise, the website is down, they may have gone under.
May last order and all previous were 5 star, but I would be careful going forward."
"ordered software 12 days ago and have not received it. calls go unanswerd. I should have checked their website... it is a joke. not a single link on it. the confirmation I received has a link to the same site stating you can check tracking/history/backorders/cancel your order/change login and much more. all of the positive ratings have my baffled. I have been waiting on the phone for 30 minutes just for someone to answer."
"This is not the first time I've done business with TechOnWeb, but this time I felt their performance deserved a review. I ordered an HP ZR30w monitor (30" S-IPS) from them around 6 pm on Tursday and it was delivered shortly after noon the following Tuesday.
My credit card was not charged until my order was actually shipped and TechonWeb sent me a confirming e-mail with tracking number (as always). The packaging and the monitor were in good condition when the Fedex driver delivered it, and I had the monitor set up and working within an hour.
I've been using the ZR30w now for over two months and love it. I've noticed no dead or stuck pixels and the color-balance and contrast of the display exceed any other monitor I've ever owned. The only adjustment I needed to make was to turn the brightness control down to minimum.
I'm entirely satisfied with the monitor and by my shopping experience with TechOnWeb. They offered the best price for this monitor that I've seen in anywhere over a year - and free shipping. They can be assured that I will be back again."
"Awesome service, super-fast shipping. An outstanding vendor!"
"I ordered an Acer netbook, which was delivered surprisingly quickly and was as described. I chose this vendor because they had the best price for the unit I wanted, and are well-rated here on Resellerratings. No problems or issues, however buyers should be aware that Techonweb is mainly oriented toward selling to organizations, not individuals. They're closed weekends, and don't instantaneously acknowledge orders. "
"Cheapest I could find my case and had free shipping on it! Site said up to 7 days for delivery and it made it from California to Colorado within 3 days of ordering. No issues what so ever."
"First time ordering from them and WOW they were great. Had a hicup with the shipment of my hard drive initially and contacted them. Fast response and they sent out the drive, on their nickle, overnight service in time for the holidays. Would definitely buy again and rate them right up there with Newegg, maybe better."
"Ordered an IdeadPad K1 with the site listing the items as in -stock on the Saturday after Black Friday. No automated confirmation, nothing. Called on Monday morning and was told no one worked that weekend and they really don't know if they have enough in stock or not. Everyone who'd ordered would find out in 24-48 hours. You've got to be kidding - you can't tell the number of orders and match that to stock online and if not, it takes 24-48 hours - technically 4-5 days after the order."
"I found Techonweb through a general Google search, as I was shopping for an item I needed urgently that was out of stock at both places. Not only did they have one in stock, but they had the lowest price too! And dealing with a person instead of a phone menu system made the process very smooth. They shipped my item quickly, and I'm extremely pleased with it. I had never heard of Techonweb prior to this (and I buy a lot of electronics online), but I will definitely check with them on upcoming purchases!"
"Fast shipping and great service. I would definetly order from them again."
"Easy ordering - well explained items such as shipping / handling / taxes. Fast delivery - in state was at my door less than 48 hours after hitting 'Order' on Techonweb site. Pretty easy all in all."
"I am happy with this purchase and your service."
"Bought a Sony AV receiver (STR-DN1020) on Sunday and it arrived Friday. Although no tracking number was received the order arrived fast and in good condition. Their price was very low and free shipping made the deal excellent! I will be looking to Techonweb for future orders!"

A Common-Sense Solution to Hurricane Devastation
In what's already been a dangerous tropical storm season, Hurricane Matthew's recent ravaging of the southeast is putting 2016's run of dangerous weather into rarified air. When it's all said and done, CoreLogic believes Matthew's path of property destruction will cost $4 million to $6 million. The disaster caps off a season that occurred five months ahead of schedule when, in January, Hurricane Alex descended upon the northeast. Tropical Storm Bonnie followed in mid-May, making this the second time in four years that two storms formed before the official start of hurricane season in June. With the threat of Atlantic hurricanes seemingly on the rise, it's worth having a conversation about what can be done to mitigate the devastation.[read more]

Apart from providing 13...[read more]

Cutting Global Pollution One Lawn At a Time
Many people don't realize that lawns are large contributors to pollution. Once we all take into account the mowers that are used to keep the grass at a certain length and the emissions that they release into the air, the gasoline that is spilled and the water waste, the numbers are almost unbelievable.[read more]

Sustainable Waterfront Recreation: Ideas For Cities
For cities located along a major waterfront – whether that's a lake, river, or ocean – figuring out how to best utilize that space without harming the environment can be a challenge. Many of the most popular activities, such as boating, can be highly polluting, and overdevelopment near the shore can cause problems with erosion, runoff, and contamination. Still, used correctly, waterfront property can be a key part of urban recreation space without contributing to these problems.[read more]

IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT (Sacramento)
June 11, 2012
THE PEOPLE, PLAINTIFF AND RESPONDENT,v.OBATAIYE AKINSANYA, DEFENDANT AND APPELLANT.
(Super. Ct. No. 10F01418)
P. v. Akinsanya
California Rules of Court, rule 8.1115(a), prohibits courts and parties from citing or relying on opinions not certified for publication or ordered published, except as specified by rule 8.1115(b). This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115.
Defendant Obataiye Akinsanya pled no contest to one count of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child under 14 (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a))*fn1 and was placed on probation. Within a year, following a contested probation revocation hearing, the court found defendant violated probation. Accordingly, the court revoked probation, and committed defendant to prison for three years with 500 days of credit. Defendant was also ordered to pay the previously imposed restitution fund fine of $200.
Defendant's ensuing appeal is subject to the principles of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110. In accordance with the latter, we will provide a summary of the offenses and the proceedings in the trial court.
Among the conditions of probation imposed following defendant's plea of no contest to committing a lewd and lascivious act against a 14-year-old, was that he was not to knowingly be in the presence of any minor or groups of minors under the age of 18 without an adult being present who had been approved by the probation officer. In November 2010, five months after his plea, defendant admitted he violated that condition of probation. Probation was revoked and reinstated on the same conditions.
In April 2011, a second violation of probation petition was filed, alleging defendant had again violated probation by being in the presence of a minor without an authorized adult. A contested hearing was held on the allegations.
Kenyetta Wells and her seven-year-old daughter lived at the same apartment complex as defendant. In April, Wells and her daughter were at the apartment's pool and defendant was outside the gate. They had a brief conversation about her daughter, and defendant asked for Wells's telephone number. She refused to give it to him. Shortly thereafter, the apartment complex manager informed the probation office that defendant had become friends with Wells's family, including the minor child. Based on that information, probation officer Deputy Noble came to Wells's apartment and informed her of defendant's probation status and conditions, and that defendant was a registered sex offender.
Later that night, defendant came over to Wells's apartment. Wells and her daughter were on the balcony. Wells told defendant she had spoken with the probation officer and she did not want him around her or her daughter. The next morning, defendant returned to the apartment and knocked a number of times on Wells's apartment door. Wells was very frightened and called Noble. Noble responded to the apartment complex and went to defendant's apartment. Defendant adamantly denied having contact with any woman or her child in the complex or any other complex. Wells later identified defendant in a field show up.
Detective Foster assisted Noble in conducting the investigation. After the field show up, Foster was escorting defendant to the patrol car. Defendant was pulling on Foster's arm, and bumped him as they tried to go through a door. Foster thought defendant was trying to go through the door without him, so he took defendant to the ground. Foster told defendant to remain on his stomach and defendant curled into a ball on his side. Foster put all his weight on defendant to make defendant comply.
The court found defendant had violated probation by being in the presence of a minor without permission of a probation officer and had resisted arrest. The court noted defendant had not only violated probation, but appeared to be "teeing up" a new offense. Observing this was defendant's second violation of probation, the court revoked probation and imposed the low term of three years.
We appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. Counsel filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case and requests this court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days have elapsed, and we have received no communication from defendant. Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.
The judgment is affirmed.
We concur: ROBIE , J. MAURO , J.

exhibitions | news
Robert Freeman - New Works will run from November 4 to December 18, at the Adelson Galleries of Boston, MA. Read the full Press Release here.
Commissioned for the exhibition at Adelson Galleries Boston, New Works is inspired by my childhood spent between two cultures: the Gold Coast, West Africa (now Ghana) and the East Coast of the United States. In New Works I revisit the themes of race and culture that I explored in "Black Tie" (1981), part of a series that comments on the personal conflict I felt as African-Americans settled into middle-class life following the racial tensions of the 1960s and 1970s. Although much has changed in 35 years— including the election of the nation's first African American President— questions of identity and inclusion remain. ~Robert Freeman

Rated 5 out of 5 by bretteadele from These pants are amazing! As a trades person who works outside in the winter, I needed something that would keep me warm and allow me to move. I bought these because they were not overly priced. After my first time wearing them, I went out and bought 4 more pairs. They are so warm just as is or under other pants. So stretchy and comfortable. My only problem is that after a year they are starting to wear out a bit. A few holes have appeared and a few seams have come apart. Nothing that a needle and thread couldn't fix. These are now a staple in my wardrobe.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MaryK from Comfort and warmth After the winter we have just had, it was a god send to have these body armour pants. The feel nice next to the skin and just add an extra layer to give you warmth when outside in the cold. I just wish that Mark's would sell product in petite sizes. I am 5'1" and everything is so long on me. I would buy much more if I could get my length.

|Nelly Thompson was a happy housewife who did not care much about anything but keeping her house and raising the kids. But there was one thought which deprived her of her sleep. She had once seen Terry, her son, in the shower, and his sizeable cock was her obsession. One evening she could not keep in her lust anymore and simply pulled Terry's pants off! At first she was anxious whether Terry would like her mature body, but the boy was so passionate:
Mary's father, lives with Mary, while their mother moved to another town after
divorce. Bob has many friends, and Mary, a shy pretty girl,
is often the target of their jokes. Bob was having more and more intense fantasies about Mary giving blowjob to him and his friend, so there came an evening when he invited his sexy daughter to have a couple of drinks: Mary performed so good she was all soaked in cum of her father and his amazed friend!
|Anthony Kowalski, a divorced teacher, loved his cute blonde daughter Amanda more than anyone in the world. Since her very childhood he enjoyed taking photos and filming her on camera. When she grew into a very beautiful teen girl, Anthony's shootings acquired a different taste. Sometimes he thought that it would have been great to film her naked, and one day he talked her into some naked posing, which led them to a totally hardcore incest scene:

Featured in this EMEA Hospitality Newsletter - Week Ending 9 January 2009
A New Year And A New Hotel
The Kingdom of Bahrain is to get its first Conrad hotel. Hilton Hotels Corporation has got together with Bahraini company Diyar Al Bahrain and signed a management agreement for the Conrad Bahrain. The hotel is expected to open in 2011 with 250 rooms and 50 apartments on Reef Island, a US$1.2 billion mixed-use development (previously known as Lulu Island), off the northern shore of Bahrain's capital city Manama. This will be Hilton's third Conrad hotel in the Middle East as the 550-room Conrad Dubai and the 380-room Conrad Abu Dhabi are both scheduled to open in 2010 in the UAE.
Bespoke Hotels To Take On 13 Folio Hotels
The beginning of a new year, and the normally unlucky number 13, has bought hope to Folio Hotels. The company was saved from administration with the announcement that London-based company Bespoke Hotels is to take over the management of 13 of its properties. Folio's remaining 20 hotels are to carry on operating under Folio's current management, but with a new group of shareholders.
A Tale Of Seven Cities
The number five is great but the number seven is magnificent thought Accor Hotel Group. And in order to reach this magic number, Accor decided to give two more German cities a Pullman hotel, bringing the number of cities in the country hosting Pullman-branded properties to seven: the Berlin Hotel Schweizerhof in the capital Berlin is now operating as the 373-room Pullman Berlin Schweizerhof, and the Quellenhof Hotel in the west German city of Aachen has become the 185-room Pullman Aachen Quellenhof. Both hotels previously operated as Dorint-Sofitel properties.
Dundee's Swallow To Become A Landmark
Glasgow-based BDL Hotels' joint venture company BDL Select Hotels recently added hotel number five to its growing portfolio of independent mid-market hotels in the UK. The newest addition to the flock, the 94-room Swallow Hotel, Dundee, is currently resting its head under its wing for the chilly winter months as it undergoes an extensive £2.7 million refurbishment programme, which is due to be completed in May 2009. In spring the 94-room hotel will spread its wings and emerge from hibernation as the Landmark, Dundee. The Swallow Hotel, Dundee was sold to BDL by HVS Hodges Ward Elliott, acting on behalf of F&C Reit Asset Management.
Premier Inn To Float On Water
Taking the concept of the water bed to a new level, Whitbread's Premier Inn brand has revealed its plans to extend the existing 60-room Premier Inn Hartlepool Marina on the quayside in Hartlepool, a port in the north east of England, with the addition of the UK's first floating hotel which will be built on the marina itself. Pending planning approval, construction on Premier Inn's watery accommodation is to start in spring this year and it will be shipshape and ready to open for guests in time for the arrival of the ships in the final leg of the 2010 Tall Ships Race. But future guests will not need to pack a wetsuit or book a boat trip, as a ramp will link the 54-room extension to its other half on dry land.
A Second Sokos Opens In St Petersburg
Undeterred by the subzero temperatures of a Russian Winter, at the beginning of this year, Finnish hotel group Sokotel wrapped up warmly and travelled to St Petersburg to open its second Sokos property in the city: after an investment of €27 million, the four-star, 255-room Sokos Hotel Vasilievsky, on Vasily Island, has now joined its sister property in the city the 348-room Sokos Hotel Olympic Garden.
Quek Leng Chan Takes A 3% Stake In InterContinental Hotels Group
Quek Leng Chan, the owner of UK-chain Guoman Hotels (formerly Thistle Hotels), has declared a 3% stake in InterContinental Hotels Group through his Hong Leong Group Malaysia. The rumour on the yuletide grapevine is that this £51 million investment is not leading up to a bid.
A New Radisson Hotel Opens In Paris
The citizens of Paris thought that they had been left off Rezidor Hotel Group's Christmas list, but their present had just been delayed in the post. What was this gift? I hear you say. A new hotel of course...the Radisson Le Dokhan's Hotel, Paris Trocadéro has just opened in the French capital with 41 rooms and four suites. The hotel, which was originally a private residence, previously operated as the Sofitel Trocadero Dokhan's-Paris.
Absolute Share Price Performance Over the Past Week 1-8 January 2009
Starwood Hotels & Resorts - Share prices rose after the company signed a confidentiality agreement with Sam Zell's Equity Investment Group.
Whitbread - Whitbread is benefiting from a predicted increase in the number of Britons holidaying at home.

Big Brother 16 Live Feeds: Week 13 Wednesday Night Highlights| September 18, 2014 at 8:00 AM EST
It was a weird night in the Big Brother 16 house and on the Live Feeds without Caleb and Frankie, but luckily we got to watch the first part of the HOH play out. Find out what else happened on the Big Brother Feeds in the house yesterday.
Big Brother 16 Live Feed Highlights – Wednesday, September 17, 2014:
Big Brother 16 Spoilers: Who Won HoH Round 1? 09-17-2014| September 18, 2014 at 7:00 AM EST
Following the Big Brother 16 live eviction on Wednesday night where the F4 became the Final Three we saw those HGs head outside for the always fun final endurance comp of the season and oh yes, it was the much feared "Wall" competition.
Since there's no "outgoing HoH" at this point Derrick was able to compete in their very slick looking hang gliding themed comp. All three were perched up on a small foot platform with a hand rail above them.
The entire wall behind them would tilt forward dipping them toward the ground. Plus, there was lots of nice cold water thrown at them. See a full recap with pics & times from the endurance comp.
So who pulled off the first round win? Read on for the spoilers.
Big Brother 16 – Week 13 Final HoH:
'Big Brother 16' Spoilers: Final HoH Round 1 Endurance Competition Results| September 17, 2014 at 10:58 PM EST
Here we go! It's time for a new Big Brother 16 Endurance HoH Competition! We just saw tonight's eviction so we're ready to move on to the end of the season's three-round Final HoH battle.
Whoever wins this competition will automatically move on to the Round-3 portion while the two who fall behind will face off in the second round. Lots of pressure here with a chance at a half-million dollars on the line. Before the comp Derrick was reaffirming his F2 deals with both Cody and Victoria.
Normally I would normally suggest you grab a trial of the Feeds to watch along, but CBS went and blocked new sign-ups, so stick with us for all the results as they happen right here on this post.
Big Brother 16 Final HoH Round 1 Endurance Comp Results:
- 7:55 PM BBT – Feeds finally return. Theme is hang gliding. All still in.
- 7:58 PM BBT – BB turns up the fans & HGs prepare for water.
- 8:05 PM BBT – Derrick was joking that Caleb would have crushed this.
- 8:06 PM BBT – Big Brother turns the rain on. It's pouring down.
- 8:10 PM BBT – Rain continues. Flash of light & Cody freaks, "is that lightning?!"
- 8:15 PM BBT – HGs tilted allll the way out. Everyone still in.
- 8:20 PM BBT – Raining is pouring and lots of tilting, but all look strong.
- 8:21 PM BBT – Derrick tells Cody, "I'm hurting." Hmm, is he going to throw it?
- 8:23 PM BBT – Victoria already asking how long they've been up there. Thinks only 10 mins.
- 8:25 PM BBT – Rain stops. Victoria suggests Frankie would have never survived due to the cold.
- 8:30 PM BBT – Everyone still hanging in. They're all very quiet.
- 8:34 PM BBT – Victoria says she's slipping & can't keep her hands on. Guys encouraging her.
Big Brother 16 Spoilers: Who Was Evicted & Who Made Final Three? 09-17-2014| September 17, 2014 at 9:15 PM EST
Wednesday's live Big Brother episode delivered the second eviction of the week and took us from the F4 down to the BB16 Final Three HGs. One of these players would win the half-million dollar
During the live show we saw the PoV events completed and confirm the final noms of the week. With just one eviction vote cast the pressure was on for this face to face elimination. Would Derrick's plan work out or would he go in to the F3 with a stronger competitor than he hoped?
Big Brother 16 Spoilers: Week 12 Live Eviction Results| September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM EST
Tonight on Big Brother 16 we'll see which Houseguests survive the Final Four eviction show and move on to the season finale. By the end of the night there will be just three players left in the season as they head out to compete in the first round of the Final HoH comp.
Julie Chen hosts Big Brother 16 – Source: CBS[/caption]
After last night's elimination of Frankie we saw Derrick take control as HoH and secure both his seat in the F3 and the security of having never been nominated through a season of double nominations. Who else will join him? We'll get the official results tonight with the Nominations Ceremony, Power of Veto competition, Veto Ceremony, and eviction vote. Yes, it will be a very busy night.
Join us tonight here for a live recap and discussion of the latest Big Brother show plus you can find us on Facebook and Twitter for even more updates as the game plays out in real-time on the Feeds.
Tonight's show opening with Frankie getting evicted. Before he was sent out Derrick warned him, as he often has done this season. Frankie warns all the guys that if they do that he will be the most powerful HG as a Juror who will decide who wins. Frankie's ego can barely fit inside the room. The guys tell Frankie he's delusional. That was absurd of Frankie, but completely in character from what he showed the HGs all season.
Derrick has to pick his nominations. Victoria is a given as he's pretending to be against her still. Cody says he doesn't want to go up so Derrick tells Caleb he has the Veto as a chance to secure his safety.
Big Brother 16 Week 12.5 Nominations:
- Caleb
- Victoria
Caleb jokes around at the ceremony and leaps from his chair with a "Judy Chop!" at Derrick. Now on to the most important Veto comp of the season.
Going in to this everyone thinks Derrick has his or her back, but Derrick tells us he is planning to throw the comp since it gains him nothing. Good plan.
Big Brother 16 Week 12.5 Power of Veto:
- Cody
This win secures Cody has a spot in the F3, but it also means he'll have to cast the sole eviction vote.
Big Brother 16 Week 12.5 Power of Veto Ceremony:
- Cody cannot use the Veto as only HG left
Julie asks Victoria for her 9th nomination speech. Vic hasn't made it to eviction night nine times though, but nine noms is definitely a lot! Caleb gives a very nice speech.
Cody has the sole vote and has to do it out in the open. Cody reveals the Hitmen alliance before casting his vote.
Big Brother 16 Week 12.5 Eviction Votes:
Big Brother 16 Eviction Prediction – Counting The Vote In Week 12.5 [POLL]| September 17, 2014 at 4:00 PM EST
Eviction prediction time for Big Brother 16 this week's second eviction arrives and this one could catch its target in quite the blindside. There's only one vote up for grabs so there isn't much to consider.
I'll be discussing the latest spoilers ahead including Veto results which have not been revealed on the show yet, so if you're keeping tonight a surprise then stop reading now.
Tonight's eviction would hinge on who won the last Power of Veto of BB16. Derrick already had safety to the F3 and if anyone else won it the Veto would do the same for them. Those spoilers are in and while things now look set for the next elimination, there's always room for a surprise.
