Baseball's Marketing Problem Isn't Easy to Fix
Whether it was the release of the movie"42," the anniversary of Hank Aaron surpassing Babe Ruth as the all-time home run leader, or one of many articles each year telling baseball it has an "issue," Major League Baseball decided recently it was time to create a task force to deal with the decline of African-Americans at the highest levels of the game. Baseball, like other professional sports leagues, likes to create this type of task force. It shows that the league cares, and well meaning be damned, is often stocked with people that likely aren't difference-makers. Recommendations will be made, but they will be around things that don't get at the heart of the matter, because those things are difficult—if not impossible—to fix.
The "problem" isn't really a problem in the way that MLB's task force is likely to look at it. It's about the change in society, the growth of other sports, the power of television, the internet, how fast players can transition, the growth of other minority groups now playing the game, and, yes, marketing.
Here's the list of the members of Commissioner Selig's task force:
First off, there are some very good people on this panel. I especially like that Pat O'Conner is on the list, as it shows MLB is looking not only in the mirror, but at minor league baseball as well, and seeing if there's anything that can be done there. You have women, minorities, those involved with youth—it's a fair cross-section (although, this author wishes there were a host of television and marketing mavens within).
The task force will be looking at the following numbers, and will try and make something of them.
According to the Player Diversity Report (released on November 13, 2012), the diversity of the player Profile on 40-man major league rosters was 62 percent Caucasian, 28 percent Hispanic, eight percent African-American, one percent Asian, and 0.2 percent Native American. And, according to MLB records, which are a collection of data compiled by the clubs, the percentage of players on 2013 Opening Day, 25-man major-league rosters who identified themselves as African-American or black was approximately 8.5 percent, which is in a consistent range with the past few years. The first round of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft featured the selection of seven African-American players, the most by total and percentage (seven of 31, 22.6 percent) since 1992.
At the same time, 241 players on 2013 Opening Day 25-man rosters and inactive lists were born outside the United States. This year's percentage of 28.2 marks the fourth highest of all-time.
The 241 players born outside the U.S. come from the pool of 856 players (750 active 25-man roster players and 106 disabled or restricted major-league players) on March 31 rosters and represented 15 countries and territories outside the U.S. The 28.2 percent mark trails only 2005, when 29.2 percent (242 of 829) of Opening Day players were born outside the U.S.; 2007, when 29.0 percent (246 players) were foreign-born; and last season, when 28.4 percent were born outside the U.S. On Opening Day, 2012, 243 out of 856 players were born outside the U.S.
So, at the outset, MLB's "problem" is looking at the opportunity to find prospects wherever they live, and asking whether they need to get more African-Americans in the game, or whether the game is satisfied with being diverse, but from an international perspective? That's an internal issue. That's an issue toward which the league has drifted. And, it's likely something that works like this: I don't care if someone is African-American, Hispanic, Latino, or from the moon—if they can play, and it works with our budget, they're going to get a chance. This isn't a case of "white-washing," it's a case of looking deeper at international prospects.
The matter goes much deeper, however. As I said at the outset, there are simply changes that have occurred that have moved baseball off as the premier sport to follow for kids of every ethnicity.
When baseball ruled the roost, there were the Big Three channels on television (ABC, CBS, and NBC). Major League Baseball's leg-up with the networks was that the NFL and NBA were not the powerhouses that they are now, and collegiate football and basketball were not yet staples of programming. That made the likes of Aaron, Willie Mays, Bob Gibson, Joe Morgan, and others the heroes of the day. Kids saw them regularly on television and in the paper and weren't distracted. Television has changed matters more than any panel can likely address.
By 1950, only a handful of colleges had broadcast deals with the networks for football. Penn with ABC was really the only college to see all of its home games broadcast. In 1952, the NCAA sold broadcast rights to NBC to allow one nationally televised game a week. It wasn't until 1984, when a court ruling said that the NCAA was in violation of the Sherman Act, that schools were allowed to individually broker broadcast deals, enabling collegiate football to take off on television (almost 200 games were broadcast the following year). Think of that for baseball.
One of the key elements that makes baseball hard to market to kids of all ethnicities is that America now follows closely football and basketball players at the collegiate level. Our channel listing is peppered with both NCAAF and NCAAB programming. That, in turn, lends itself to prospect recognition, something that baseball is woefully behind on.
To add to this, a football or basketball player that is drafted is far more likely to be an immediate difference maker in the year after he is drafted to the NFL or NBA. When that is coupled with the power of the broadcasting of the players at the collegiate level, it creates awareness on which baseball lags far behind. Ask yourself, if you're a kid growing up playing sports, which one are you more likely to gravitate toward: the one that you see on television regularly with players from your peer group quickly moving up to the pros, or the one that gets virtually no television exposure and likely requires further development in the minor leagues? If baseball ever wants to capture the hearts and minds of the younger demographic, then working to get collegiate baseball on national television is critical. That's easier said than done.
If you're reading this, you're likely a big baseball fan, find that its pace lends the sport to cerebral aspects, and aren't bothered by how some see it as "slow" and as "an old-person's sport." For MLB, it's a serious problem if you're trying to market yourself, especially to the networks.
Blame the internet. Blame our over-taxed schedules. Blame television. Blame other sports. But the fact is, our attention spans aren't what they used to be. Football and basketball, driven by the clock, fit this change in society. For the most part, you're going to know when a game starts and ends. Sure, there's overtime, but society seems to be more forgiving around that if the pace is fast. Extra-inning games that go scoreless seem to drag on for many average fans. A kid that has to go to bed at a certain time isn't staying up past midnight to watch a 1-1 tie that's going into the 10th inning unless he or she is a diehard.
These are the issues that MLB faces. Most can agree that a radical redesign of the game to address youth interest isn't worthwhile. Sure, you can paint the corners by trying to speed it up, but the game is the game and something extreme, like a game clock, doesn't seem in the offing (although a pitch clock has been implemented by the Southeastern Conference in college baseball). If baseball is concerned about youth of all ethnicities going to other sports, the league will have to figure out how to get collegiate baseball on television.
The final matter is the most sensitive. It's not confined to any race. It's about money. I have directly witnessed negotiations between college football and basketball prospects with agents as drafts approach. Call it "getting what they're worth." Call it greed. Call it what you will, but many a kid and their families believe they have the potential to be stars and pull in a major contract. Baseball sees very few players entering the draft that are so talented as to be true difference makers the year after. A quarterback or point guard gets in every game. A difference maker in baseball is often a pitcher who is in a rotation and therefore isn't going to be getting face time until every fifth day. Baseball is simply not as glamorous, and there's that nagging difficulty in being a senior in college one year, and the next, you're in the pros getting lots of face time and the opportunity to shine. Society wants everything to happen faster now. We're impatient, and we're more willing to take a path that gets us there quicker. "Career longevity," which MLB can offer, isn't sexy.
If baseball is really serious about growing the sport, not only to African-Americans, but the younger demographic (and I think they sincerely are), then the league has to be cognizant of what it can and cannot fix. You cannot go back to the "good old days." You cannot put the internet and the vast entertainment options on television back in the bottle. Work to get collegiate baseball on television. Continue to market the game's players through initiatives such as Fan Cave. Make the game as affordable as possible. But you can't fix it all. Baseball, you can't change who you are. No number of "panels" is going to be able to fix what you can't fix.

Maybe baseball should consider a hard time limit and start allowing ties.

YOUTUBE stupidity. I teach. MS and HS boys LOVE watching sports clips on YouTube. They love making YouTube videos showing clips of their favorite players. I use to be able to show them YouTube clips of Bo Jackson running up a wall to catch a fly ball or other clips. The NBA gets it. Their product saturates YouTube. No kid goes to MLB.com to watch videos. Some old people get technology but many don't. There are no online commercials for baseball like the one where Kyrie Irving plays "Uncle Drew."

Local youth baseball teams have to pay MLB to use their names on their jerseys so some leagues have switched to college teams. Every kid wants to play youth baseball with a big league team name on the front. How much $ do they make off of this? It's short sighted and stupid. MLB is the old miser of major league sports.
Apr 29, 2013 06:12 AM
Sorry for the multiple posting but I wanted each topic to stand on its own. My last topic is StubHub. I can barely afford to get my son in the stadium with decent seats. StubHub has been a godsend. Now Arte Moreno wants to destroy it. He already gets the full price of the ticket from the original purchaser, and instead of an empty seat I show up with my kid pay for parking, fifty bucks of food and thirty bucks of stuff from the team store. So short sighted. I'm telling you MLB owners and the people running the league have ZERO clue.
Apr 29, 2013 06:15 AM
MLB should find a network that will broadcast playoff and world series games starting at 3 pm eastern--at least on the weekends. 8 or 8:30 pm starts in the east prevent children from seeing some great baseball, and it is very important to capture the mind of the 11 year old fan.

"62 percent Caucasian, 28 percent Hispanic, eight percent African-American, one percent Asian, and 0.2 percent Native American"
Apr 29, 2013 07:34 AM
Well, I guess you posted this while I was asking my question. I think the "problem" is MLB has to show it "cares". How many task forces has Bud Selig established over the years and how many actually accomplished anything other than lip service?
Apr 29, 2013 07:42 AM
MLB is looking at a much bigger picture than simply comparing the racial make-up of the populace as a whole to the population of big league players.
Apr 29, 2013 07:53 AM
Maybe, but comparing the racial makeup of baseball fans with the general public is the best way to determine if the problem is a lack of appeal to any one group or the general population as a whole. Gpurcell's numbers would seem to indicate the latter is the case.
Apr 29, 2013 19:48 PM
We are always lamenting the percentage of various minorities in a particular endeavor, in this instance, baseball. How do these compare to society as a whole? I would guess that 8 percent African-American is fairly close to the overall population. Certainly much closer than the 28 percent Hispanic.

I find baseball games anymore to be pretty terrible on television. They take forever--I rarely have three hours to watch TV on any given day. The camera angles are often poor (let's note show player position, let's focus on close ups of people's faces, because faces are where all of the interesting things happen on a baseball field), and the announcing can be more of a negative than positive.
Apr 29, 2013 10:43 AM
I think Tarakas has hit on an important point. I'd add to it that the way the game is televised also can't be helping.
Apr 29, 2013 16:45 PM
I'm not sure I get what the big 'problem' is supposed to be - attendance is up, team revenues/valuations are up, huge TV deals are becoming common, MLB network is up and running, there's a slew of exciting young talent and so on and so forth. Is there any evidence that the supposed lack of interest in young people (a) exists, or (b) is new , or (c) matters?
Apr 29, 2013 11:23 AM
Baseball needs to take advantage of the huge PR problem NFL has with regard to injuries. Baseball has TJ surgery while the NFL has former players killing themselves due to head injuries. They need to use that somehow.
Apr 29, 2013 11:33 AM
That would be a very difficult thing to market without looking extraordinarily classless. I think that baseball as a sport will benefit from the continued injury problems in the NFL and campaigns to end high school football that are popping up around the country. But straight-up marketing "our players can walk when they're 47" would be really tasteless.

My grandpa was one of the first season ticket holders with the dodgers when they first moved to LA. My father was also a huge Dodger fan, and continues to see them every chance he can (which is not that often in person, as he moved to another part of the country, but he watches them often on TV).

I have two sons, ages 9 and 6. They find baseball boring and gravitate to football and basketball. It saddens me, but what can you do? I didn't have Nintendo DS, internet, Wii, etc when I was a kid. I went outside more and I learned to like games that were deliberate.

Jenkins recalled to start Sunday; Davis placed on DL
BOSTON -- Blue Jays right-hander Brandon Morrow has been scratched from Sunday afternoon's start against Boston and will be replaced by Chad Jenkins.
Jenkins was recalled from Double-A New Hampshire on Saturday morning after outfielder Rajai Davis was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left oblique muscle.
The move was somewhat expected, after Morrow was listed as questionable for his scheduled outing because of soreness in his upper back and neck. He originally was slated to start Friday night, but had been pushed back a couple of days in an effort to give the injury more time to heal.
"Originally, it was in my normal side session -- and I just felt the tiniest little twinge, like a click," said Morrow, whose symptoms worsened during a recent bullpen. "[I] threw another pitch after that and didn't feel great, so I walked off the mound and went up -- and as I was walking up, the tightness started spreading.
"It was OK at that point. We were optimistic that I would make my start [on Friday], actually, at that point. Later that night, I stretched a little bit -- and that's when my neck locked up, and that's actually been worse than my back throughout this process."
Morrow remained in Florida to undergo further tests while the rest of his teammates traveled to Boston on Thursday night. His MRI came back clean and serious damage has been ruled out, but he is not yet ready to go.
The tentative plan is now for Morrow to start on Wednesday night against the Giants. That will give him an additional four days of rest and should help him avoid a stint on the disabled list.
Jenkins got the call despite having made just one Minor League start this year. He missed the beginning of the season because of a right shoulder injury, but made his return on May 6 and allowed just two runs on three hits in five innings of work.
The native of Tennessee will have his workload closely monitored, as he threw 75 pitches in that outing and has yet to be fully stretched out. Jenkins appeared in 13 games for the Blue Jays last season and posted a 4.50 ERA in 32 innings.
"I made three or four starts in extended [spring training] and then I made one start in Double-A, and the manager called me in the office last night and was like, 'Hey, you're going back up,'" Jenkins said. "To be honest, I was pretty surprised."
Davis has been dealing with soreness in his left oblique for the past few days, but further aggravated the injury during a fifth-inning at-bat versus Boston on Friday night.
The Blue Jays are expected to make another roster move prior to Sunday afternoon's game to add another position player. Right-handers Mickey Storey or Ramon Ortiz would be the likely candidates to be either sent down or designated for assignment.

OK Everyone - I have 7 owners who haven't given me a draft day preference but they've had about a week and unless pretty much all of them vote for something else we have a clear favorite.
We'll start the draft at 9 a.m. Indy time on Saturday, October 11. Protected Lists will be due to me by the evening of Saturday, October 4. I am gone the 6-8 so I definitely need your PL's on time so I can get those put together and sent back out to everyone.
So far I have nobody who says he can't make it the 11th. If you can't, same as before - I'll be happy to draft for you or you can find another owner to make your picks.
Last year we held the draft here on PD and it went amazingly well. You can view the thread here:
We need to decide whether to have it on here again or hold it on the site. The only advantage of having it on the site is that once the draft starts you'll be able to make trades. I'm sorry, but since I'm usually drafting for multiple teams I'm just not up for trying to keep track of trades while the draft is going on.
The advantage of holding it here is that, while the clock won't start until the morning of the 11th, I'll probably go ahead and open the draft as soon as I e-mail out the PL's. Might as well get a start on it, right? I may be able to do that on the site - it's been 3 years since I ran a draft there but I believe I can change the clock in mid-draft. I'd just need enough time to enter all the rosters and draft picks before I leave Monday.
I'm going to post a commissioner poll on the league site on where you want the draft. That vote will basically be open until the 4th. Feel free to cuss and discuss it here.

Topic: increasing appetite
I am wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to increase my dad's appetite. I cooked some rice and chicken yesterday and he ate a decent portion and he had a couple of scrambled eggs and toast for dinner. I have told him he will have to force it even if he isn't hungry. He has vitamins and Ensure to supplement, but obviously he needs to keeps his digestive tract working.
any ideas of what could be causing this? any drugs/treatments to suggest?

Seasonal Diet Tips
Explore our expert knowledge on topics such as healthy eating during the holidays, and how to live into a happier and healthier you in the New Year. Discover tips and tricks on how to avoid weight gain at holiday parties and while on vacation.
Does turkey make you sleepy? Thanksgiving chopping, cooking, baking, eating, and cleaning are often followed by sleeping. Is it in the turkey or are we just tired? For many years, tryptophan, a building block of the protein found in turkey, was being blamed for the naps that often followed the big meal. Recently, science has discredited this idea by stating that tryptophan does not induce sleep as formerly believed.
Why, then, does everyone make the move from dinner table to couch for post-feast snoozes? Most likely it is because your body feels too full and requires extra energy to digest the food. In addition, many people are just plain ole tired after all the cooking and eating.
One way to prevent the onset of yawns and exhaustion is to simply eat less. Thanksgiving is a time when we feast on many foods but we don't have to stuff our bodies like they're turkeys to be satisfied. In fact, if you take a deep breath before going for seconds you'll realize you're probably very full. Fill your plate once with a little of everything and make sure to eat the turkey to get your serving of protein with all those carbs.
There's no need to make huge changes to your Thanksgiving meals. It's one holiday feast that occurs one time a year. You won't ruin your whole diet by enjoying this special day. But avoiding the temptation to reach for seconds may give you the moment you need to realize you're already full.
If you're still tired after the meal, so be it. You've simply been overworked preparing for the big day. Take a nap while everyone else does the dishes and you will surely feel much better when you wake.
Simply answer a few questions so we can figure out your weight loss goals and provide solutions for a lighter, healthier you. Our weight loss meal plans are designed to help real people achieve real and lasting success.

A CAR-mad teenager who died when his Renault Clio hit a tree was an "over-confident" driver who liked to "push his car to the limits," an inquest heard.
Paul Warne, 18, was driving to work at Automative Vehicle Services in Verwood on Saturday, March 22, when he lost control of his car and crashed into a tree on Hurn Road.
Passing motorists rushed to his aid and police officers dragged him from the car and attempted resuscitation but their efforts were in vain and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
An inquest at Bournemouth Coroner's Court heard he was not wearing a seatbelt and was likely exceeding the 40mph speed limit, although this may not have been by much.
PC John Hayward, a forensic collision investigator, said the Clio was travelling sideways and rotating when it hit the tree but he could not say for certain why Paul lost control of his car. He said it was possible the car had started to rotate on a left-hand bend and Paul had been trying to correct this.
Brian Elliott, a long-standing friend, said: "He was a very enthusiastic and over-confident driver. I've been a passenger in his car on numerous occasions - he habitually rarely wore a seatbelt and he used to push his car to the limits. I often felt concerned for our safety when he was driving. He used to tell me about near misses he had had in his car."
Coroner Sheriff Payne recorded a verdict of accidental death due to a road traffic collision.
He said: "He might not have exceeded the speed limit by much but it's a challenging road and relatively easy to come unstuck. That sadly appears to be what has happened on this day."
After the inquest Paul's father, who is also called Paul, thanked everyone who tried to help his son. He said: "He just loved driving.
"He was over-confident, there was nothing you could have said that would have changed that."

Teens Use Hunter Education Skills To Help Save Man's Life
AUSTIN, Texas — Hunting accidents are relatively few nowadays, thanks mainly to safety skills gained from hunter education. Last year there were only 44 hunting-related mishaps in Texas among a hunting population of more than one million, and a majority of those incidents could be considered minor. Some were not.
One accident in particular nearly cost a man his life were it not for the swift response by a trio of young hunters who drew on the first-aid skills learned in their hunter education class.
It was the day before Thanksgiving and brothers Cody and Robby Cook were hunting deer on their uncle's property when they heard a gunshot followed immediately by screams. While climbing into a tripod hunting stand on an adjacent ranch, a hunter had dropped his loaded 30-06 rifle, which discharged and struck him in his upper right arm.
The 44-year-old victim was not required to have hunter education because of his age, but had he taken the course he would have known that you never carry a loaded firearm when climbing into a stand, according to Terry Erwin, hunter education coordinator for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. "Also, if you are climbing into anything higher than you can reach, you always use a hauling line to raise your firearm," he emphasized. "This was an accident that likely could have been avoided had the hunter used the basic firearms safety rules we stress in hunter education."
The Cook brothers received their hunter education training at age 13 from their local agriculture science teacher during a summer class. Fortunately for the victim, they knew how to apply pressure to the gunshot wound and used their cell phone to get help.
While Robby tended to the victim, Cody called their mother, some 20 miles away to obtain the 911 address of the location of their uncle's property. She quickly called the local 911, since Cody's cell phone is serviced out of College Station, and of no direct help. She gave them Cody's cell phone number and then proceeded to call her niece, Jill Halfmann, who lived on the property where the boys were hunting. Halfmann, who is also hunter-education certified, went to the scene, assisted with the first aid and provided the exact 911 address so Cody could direct EMS to the area via cell phone.
The sheriff arrived on the scene and transported the victim to a waiting ambulance nearby. EMS treated and stabilized him, but the wound was so severe that he was airlifted to the hospital in San Angelo. He was further stabilized and later flown to another hospital in the Dallas metro-area for extensive reconstructive surgery. He is now recovering and undergoing physical therapy.
"This is a testament to these youth who took the hunter education course," said Erwin.
Texas has a national reputation for making access to hunter education convenient and plentiful with more than 4,400 courses offered across the state and at least one in all 254 counties each year. The summer months when school lets out are an ideal time for new hunters to take the course.
"Kids usually have plenty of free time during the summer and it's a good way to be prepared before the September dove-hunting season," Erwin said.
According to the 2003 Texas Hunting Accident Report, 25 percent of the accidents occurred during dove season and the most common error in judgment involved covering the victim while swinging on game.
Texans have several options available for fulfilling hunter education requirements, including the traditional classroom environment, a home study course and an online course. Texas certifies about 33,000 students annually.
The hunter education course is a minimum 10-hour class that teaches hunting safety, modern and primitive sporting arms, wildlife conservation, outdoor skills and responsibility. When the course is completed, the certification card is good for life and is honored by all states, Mexico, and all Canadian provinces that require hunter education. Proof of certification, which includes the card or the hunter education certification number printed on the hunting license, must be carried at all times while hunting.
Any hunter born on or after Sept. 2, 1971 who is at least 17 years old must pass the course to legally hunt in Texas. Hunters ages 12-16 must either pass the course or be accompanied by a person who is at least 17 or older licensed to hunt in Texas. Hunters younger than age 12 may take the course but they will not be certified and must be accompanied by a person licensed to hunt in Texas who is at least age 17 or older.
Accompanied means within normal voice control and preferably within arm's length. Hunters can purchase a license before becoming certified, but they must carry proof of certification while hunting.
More information about hunter education as well as the schedule of course offerings are available at local TPWD offices, by calling TPWD at (800) 792-1112 ext. 62 or by visiting the Web (http://tpwd.texas.gov/edu/hunted/).

EIGHT was great for Jamie Miller who captured the Fulford GC club championship for the eighth time.
Miller finished three shots clear of Damon Coulson, the recently-crowned York Amateur champion, who was defending the Fulford trophy.
Miller posted rounds of 75 and 73 with Coulson carding 79 and 72. A shot further behind Coulson in third place was Richard Cass, last year's club captain.
Meanwhile, former Fulford GC club champion Stephen East (Moortown) won the English Seniors' crown at Matfen Hall with 67.

Hot Toys continues to roll out cool collectibles based on the 1979 sci-fi classic, ALIEN. Following their 1:4 scale bust and 1:6 scale action figure, a new stylized vinyl figure has been release. The latest addition to Hot Toys' MMS Vinyl series, this "super deformed" oddity depicts the main movie monster "Big Chap," though measuring in at stubby 8-inches tall, I prefer to call him "Little Chap". Its unusual design isn't going to appeal to everyone, but for passionate ALIEN fans and collectors of eccentric collectibles, it is guaranteed to please.
Designed by James Khoo of Hot Toys, this vinyl collectible captures all the characteristics of the original ALIEN and blows them all out of proportion. Mr. Khoo focuses on the massive cranium of the beast, no doubt the most iconic feature of the H.R. Giger-designed creature. Here it is inflated to new levels - the monster's head as large, scratch that, LARGER than its biomechanical body and itty bitty limbs. The figure is quite comical in a dark twisted way; a brilliant parody of the violent movie monster.
The ALIEN's horrific trademarks are brought further to light by Mr. Khoo's attention to the creature's skull. Visible through the expertly frosted head dome, the bony structure adds some much appreciated depth and sophistication to the vinyl toy. Of particular note is the spooky human-like skull seen when viewed head-on. The sculpt fools your eyes into seeing two distinct faces: One where its black "eyes" appear closed (the tubing that runs up behind its mouth) and one where it appears wide-eyed and grinning (using the human skull as its face). I much prefer the goofy look of the latter and wish the side "eye" was toned down in size to eliminate the double vision.
Designer vinyl toys aren't known for hyper-articulation and Hot Toys' MMS Vinyl ALIEN is no exception. I was actually quite shocked to see it feature any points at all. Articulation consists of two arms that can be moved up and down and a head that pivots slightly side to side. The amount of poses you can achieve with these points are extremely limited, leaving me to wonder why they were incorporated at all. One point of articulation I wish Hot Toys did include was a pivot allowing you to postion the head back, as opposed to perpetually looking down. As it is, the pose the ALIEN is cast in is classic, but very restricted. For example, that goofy skull look I like so much can only be viewed by picking the figure up or laying it on it's back.
The MMS Vinyl ALIEN retails for a SRP of $79.99. To those uninitiated to the world of designer collectibles, that price may appear pretty steep. Fans familiar with art toys, however, will see it priced about right. It may not have a low limited edition number often associated with high-end vinyl collectibles, but the ALIEN's imported nature alone makes it a rare find.
I like my collectibles serious and realistically sculpted just like the next guy, but also have an affinity for the cute and twisted. The MMS Vinyl ALIEN fits that bill nicely, though I confess to being a little bit let down by its restricted pose. It looks great viewed from the left or right, but that's about it. Fortunately, the MMS Vinyl ALIEN packs a lot of visual punch in those two poses. If looking for some exotic style to add on your collection, the MMS Vinyl ALIEN delivers.

'True big leaguer' Goldy wins Heart and Hustle Award
PHOENIX -- Paul Goldschmidt was named the D-backs' recipient of the annual Heart and Hustle Award from the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association. He is one of 30 winners, which were announced on Tuesday
The award honors active players who demonstrate a passion for the game of baseball and best embody the values, spirit and tradition of the game. The Heart and Hustle Award is also the only award in Major League Baseball that is voted on by former players.
"His play on the field and community service exemplify what a true big leaguer should be," said Luis Gonzalez, a member of the Diamondbacks' 2001 World Series championship team and now a club vice president. "On and off the field, he is an example for young players to follow."
Goldschmidt, a two-time National League All-Star just voted to this year's team by the fans as the starting first baseman, was tied for the NL lead with Miami's Giancarlo Stanton with 65 RBIs entering Tuesday's games.
The final winner will be announced on Nov. 18 at the 15th annual Legends for Youth Dinner in New York. This event is the primary fundraiser for the series of free Legends for Youth Baseball Clinics. These clinics impact more than 15,000 children each year at 110 clinics, allowing them the unique opportunity to interact with and learn from players who have left a lasting impact on the game of baseball.

Subpar sales were on the menu again in February for long-struggling McDonald's.
Same-store sales fell 0.3% in February. A 1.4% decrease in the United States and a 2.6% decline in the Asia/Middle East/Africa region were especially troubling. In the U.S., severe winter weather was a factor. In Asia, the company blamed weakness in Japan, a shift in the timing of the Chinese New Year and negative results in Australia.

Odd, what a name. The poor kid. He's unlucky too. His Dad is dead and his mother has re-married someone Odd doesn't like (and the feeling is mutual). He's lame because a tree fell on him and most people around him think he's useless because of that. And to top if off, Spring won't come. Odd's town has had winter stretching on for days with no sign of better weather. One day Odd decides to head to a cabin of his father's in the woods. He's had it with the frustrations in his life and figures anywhere is better than where he's at.
In the woods a fox leads Odd to a bear stuck in a tree. There is also an eagle circling over the bear. After freeing the bear Odd discovers that the three animals are traveling together. They are really the Norse gods Thor, Loki and Odin. A Frost Giant has trapped the gods in animal bodies and is also responsible for the winter weather in Odd's village.
Odd decides that THIS is the something better he's been searching for, an adventure. He sets out to confront the trouble making Frost Giant and set things right. Author: Neil Gaiman

BERKELEY — A man suspected of randomly stabbing another passenger Monday night on an AC Transit bus is facing an attempted murder charge, police said Wednesday.
Eric Palmer, 24, of Berkeley, was charged by the Alameda County District Attorney's Office on Wednesday with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon. Palmer was booked into the Berkeley City Jail without bail and is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday,¿ police said.
"At this point in the investigation there is no motive, it just seems like a very random attack," said Berkeley police spokeswoman Officer Jennifer Coats.
At 9:50 p.m. Monday, as the bus was traveling along San Pablo Avenue, police said Palmer walked down the bus aisle, pulled out a knife and said "watch this," before stabbing a 21-year-old woman who was seated on the bus. Police said he did not know the woman. The woman was stabbed twice during the attack.
Another passenger, a 25-year-old man whose name was not released, jumped in to help and struck the knife-wielding man with a skateboard, Coats said. But even then, Palmer broke away and charged at her again, said Coats.
Palmer got off the bus, which had pulled over on San Pablo Avenue near Chaucer Street, and was detained by a police sergeant at gunpoint.
Police had been flagged down by a passenger who had run off and alerted an officer who was at nearby San Pablo Avenue and Bancroft Way, Coats said.
The victim suffered serious injuries, and was transported to a hospital Monday night. She was recovering at home Wednesday, police said.
The investigation is ongoing, but police said the actions of the good Samaritan who intervened may have saved the woman's life.

Reviews for Flavorful Beef Stir-Fry
Average Rating
"Very good but not things you would have on hand. This has to be planned ahead."
"We thought that this was just okay- other than the salty soy sauce (and I did use light), there wasn't a ton of flavor. The cornstarch mixture thickens almost instantly, making the beef cooking process rather...gloppy. The flavor wasn't terrible, or anything, we just didn't find it really special, either. If I do make this again, I will most certainly use frozen broccoli and carrots instead of fresh to cut down on prep time."
"Excellent! Just like what you would get from a good Chinese restaurant. Made this with venison round steak and it turned out really well."
"Have made this several times. We don't care for the pea pods so I substituted frozen soy beans for them. Think it was tastier and certainly healthier."

It is a very gradual process. The lightbulb moments for me were properly understanding the concepts, and how I can apply them to me. I did 3 years of field practice while in school before 500 was on command. I practice less on distance now because I am focused on putting and such. I have days I can throw like Beto, but I can't repeat it yet. My timing is still not 100%
As jhern said this is a never ending process. The day I am satisfied is the day I quit playing. The Brad Walker videos(especially his new one) are everything you need to "snap" a disc. 2 years ago I could throw a roc 400ft, but my drivers didn't go past 425-450. I am always pushing it

As if it wasn't official enough when Odette Yustman wore a mint dress to the premiere of The Hunger Games, let's say it again: Hollywood is totally obsessed with the pastel hue right now. Even Nicky Hilton chose a mint-colored frock from her mom Kathy Hilton's new Spring 2012 special occasion dress collection at the LA launch party. We adore everything about it: the soft hue, the pleated skirt, the ruffle bodice, and the tie detail at the waist. Who knew Mrs. Hilton had such a killer eye for details? We're so inspired by Nicky's feminine look that we set out on a search to find the most stunning mint frocks for all your upcoming Spring soirees, including weddings. If you're a bride-to-be in need of the perfect bridal shower dress, there's one for you, too! And if you want to score Nicky's exact dress, find a store near you that carries the Kathy Hilton line.

'This game was fun to watch. The Penguins are a high-flying team and the Sabres played an excellent road game. Both goaltenders made great saves, there was plenty of offense and many exciting moments. The atmosphere in Pittsburgh helped to make the game more exciting (fans at any game can help raise the entertainment value) and the ending wasn't short on suspense. Both teams played well enough to win, but the Sabres came out on top.'

|BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE!!!!!!! Some one is chopping routes of their bolts in the Rushmore Area. Ron Yahne and I have been diligently replacing bad bolts and anchors for the last three years in the Rushmore area to make the area SAFE. We are now discontinuing our bolt replacement and Anchor replacement program. We WILL NOT replace or repair any bolts or anchors. Apparently someone doesn't like the bolts there. But beware, THERE ARE ALOT OF BAD BOLTS AND ANCHORS in the Rushmore area that still needs to be replaced. Someone else can do them or the person that has recently chopped some routes can go back and replace the ones he removed. Climb at your own risk and don't DIE cause of someone else removing routes.RUSHMORE IS BECOMING A DANGEROUS PLACE TO CLIMB!!!!!!!!!

Bob - Please don't let the actions of (a few) others alter the good work you are doing to keep all climbers safe. Most of us appreciate running into a brand new bolt (where a 1/4" one once 'stood')!
If you would like assistance in your rebolting project (and I really hope you decide to continue) please contact the American Safe Climbing association.See if they can assist you with funding, etc.

|Arch,Don't let a few closed minded individuals sway you from what you have been doing. The work you, Ron and others have done is welcomed by 99.9% of the local climbing community.Bolt replacement and new routing are both gloriless and thankless tasks.Most climbers are not willing to invest in rebolting but will be quick to whine when they clip into a questionable bolt.Bolt replacement is each and every climbers responsibility... End of matter.No one individual should ever feel it to be his sole finacial responsibilty to rebolt any route.The Black Hills Climbers Coalition has plenty of extra funds but is not willing to donate to rebolting at this point.I have brought up the issue at several meetings only to have the issue sidelined.I disagree with the addition of new bolts on existing routes unless the first ascentionist agrees in an effort to keep harmony in our fractious community.Here is a challenge to each and every climber out there... Each and every time you start to talk smack about another climber set aside one dollar for bolt replacement.There is a a collection jar at Adventure Sports in Rapid City.If you are honest with yourself you will just go drop a twenty dollar bill in the jar right now.The time has come for the Black Hills Climbing Community to grow up, quite bickering and become a proactive community!Keep on crankin!"The Dakota Kid"

|I agree wholeheartedly with the above comment- your efforts do not go unnoticed. I for one am VERY appreciative for these safer bolts and anchors, and I think I speak for the majority when I say we all are- keep up the good work, if you would like any help, let me know!

|I just wanted to let everyone know that I've started working on the Black Hills Climbers Coalition website. My big contribution thus far is a page that lists out all the routes that have been repaired to date and a page that lists routes that are slated to be repaired. From this page I have set up a form that you can fill out to let us know what routes you want repaired first and what routes you would like to see added to the list. All this can be accessed from the "route repair" link at the top of the page. Here is the web address bhclimbers.com/Check it out!Duane Martenson

|Study Start Date:
|February 2010
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|August 2011
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|August 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Traditional Prevention
educator-delivered, small-group HIV & disease prevention education
Behavioral: Traditional Prevention
Participants in the traditional prevention intervention condition will complete two sessions (of approx. one hour in duration) across the course of a week, conducted by a trained HIV (and infectious disease) prevention educator; these sessions will typically be conducted in small groups of 2-4 participants but may be offered individually.
Experimental: Web-based Prevention
self-directed, interactive & customized web-based HIV & disease prevention education
Behavioral: Web-based Prevention
Participants in the web-based intervention condition will complete an interactive, web-based HIV, hepatitis and STI prevention program. Youth will be asked to complete a customized plan of approximately 2-4 hours in length using the web-based tool; participants will complete two 60-minute sessions per week until they complete their customized plan. Participants can choose to access this intervention using dedicated computer stations set up at their substance abuse treatment setting or can complete these sessions at their own home via the web.
Detailed Description:
This trial will examine the comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a web-based HIV, hepatitis and STI prevention intervention when offered to youth in outpatient, community-based substance abuse treatment as directly compared to a traditional HIV (and infectious disease) prevention intervention. We will assess the comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of these interventions by primarily examining changes from pre- to post-intervention in accurate HIV/disease prevention knowledge, intentions to engage in safer sex and HIV risk behavior. Additionally, we will examine the extent to which the interventions impact relevant skills acquisition (e.g., communication skills, negotiation skills and condom use skills), attitudes toward safer sex and self-reported substance use, as well as the acceptability of each intervention. We also plan to evaluate youth at both 1 and 3 month post-intervention to examine the durability of effects (including any differential durability of effects across intervention conditions). The web-delivered prevention intervention to be evaluated in this study has the potential to allow for a complex intervention to be delivered at a low cost, without increasing demands on staff time or training needs, and may thereby expand the reach of evidence-based prevention for youth in substance-abuse treatment.
This study will be conducted at three collaborating, community-based adolescent substance abuse treatment programs all of which are housed within the Daytop Village network of services and are located in New York City: (1) Daytop Village's Brooklyn Outreach Center; (2) Daytop Village's Bronx Outreach Center; and (3) Daytop Village's Queens Outreach Center. We expect to recruit approximately one third of the total number of participants from each site.
A total of up to 160 (no fewer than 120) adolescent participants will be enrolled in this study. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two study conditions in an intent-to-treat design (n=60-80 per group): (1) computer-delivered intervention or (2) traditional (person-delivered intervention). Participants in the traditional prevention intervention condition will complete two sessions (of approx. one hour in duration) across the course of a week, conducted by a trained HIV (and infectious disease) prevention educator; these sessions will typically be conducted in small groups of 2-4 participants but may be offered individually. Participants in the computer-delivered intervention condition will complete an interactive, web-based HIV, hepatitis and STI prevention program instead of the traditional, person-delivered prevention intervention. Youth will be asked to complete a customized plan of approximately 2-4 hours in length using the web-based tool; participants will complete two 60-minute sessions per week until they complete their customized plan. Participants will access this intervention using dedicated computer stations set up at their substance abuse treatment program.

Prostate Cancer
Should I Be Concerned About Cancer?
I am a 44 year old male with no history of prostate cancer in my immediate family. A great uncle was diagnosed with it 20 years ago. Several months ago my wife and I noticed blood in my semen. I saw my internist who did a prostate exam and a urinalysis. Urinalysis was clear of blood in urine and he said prostate was good. I have cystic fibrosis which comes with a chronic cough and wonder with what I have read that the cough could be a cause for the blood in the semen. It was improving and was almost clear with just a brown tinge until a few weeks ago I had a cold and increased cough due to increased congestion. When going to bed I got choked up and coughed pretty hard and extensive this night. My wife and I had sex and we noticed the blood in my semen had returned. I saw a urologist at this point and he felt some firmness on one side of my prostate and my PSA came back at 2.7. I am scheduled for a biopsy next Monday. My wife and I are concerned and have done a lot of research the past few days. Should I be concerned about cancer? Does the cough explain the blood in semen? What is normal age-adjusted PSA numbers? Thanks for taking my question!
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. On this site, we try to answer general questions about health but cannot diagnose or recommend treatment. You appear to have some very, very specific questions about your symptoms, which can only be answered properly by a physician who is familiar with your history, physical exam, and test results. Your questions about the testing results you've been given or the risks, benefits, and alternatives for proposed treatments of this condition need to be directed to your treating physician(s). You should insist that they answer these questions in a way that you are able to understand before consenting to any treatment. If your physician is unable to help you understand these issues, you should get a second opinion. Take care.

- PIO Number: 13-9-17
- Date: September 14, 2013
- Time: 8:52 p.m.
- Place of Occurrence: 264 Codrington Drive, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea
- Jurisdiction: Lauderdale-By-The-Sea
- Anish D. John, male, 28, 12/14/84, 14585 Shotgun Road, Davie (DECEASED)
- n/a
Description of Incident:
A 28-year-old Davie man who could not swim died early Sunday morning, a few hours after jumping into a swimming pool at a party.
Anish John had likely been under water for several minutes before other party-goers noticed him at 8:52 p.m. They pulled him out of the pool, and several people with medical training who had been attending the party immediately began cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Lauderdale-By-The-Sea Volunteer Fire Department responded and AMR ambulance transported him to Holy Cross Hospital, where he was pronounced dead after 1 a.m.
It is unclear why John jumped into the pool and why he couldn't make it to the surface of the water. Broward Sheriff's Office homicide detectives are investigating the death.

About the Show
The Great Escape is back with an exciting new series to follow Irish families taking the plunge, and leaving Ireland in search of a better life. The series looks at four families who have decided that, even in these economic boom times, they long for a better future for themselves and their children. They want a comfortable life where their children won't have to struggle to get onto the property ladder and where two incomes go a long way.
This insightful series follows them on their journeys and sees just how they cope in a new environment, without the usual support systems of friends, family, and the familiarity of home. We see them setting up businesses, developing new careers, making new friends, and overcoming huge cultural differences. The Great Escape has it all.
