On the upper-left-hand corner of my vision board, which is the dedicated space for long-term career goals, are the seven reminders below. All of them pertain to investing in some way or another.
- Be relevant.
- Be actionable.
- Show that you care about the topic.
- Always bring value to any setting.
- Do not follow the crowd; innovate where possible.
- Always remember the person on the other side of the camera; they really need your help.
- Be prepared to the power of 1,000.
With that in mind, I will cut right to the chase: I'm currently seeing a severe lack of thought innovation on investing and what drives global markets, as well as a complete loss of focus on basic investing principles. The things I see, and where I see them, are disturbing. I've witnessed intense table-pounding on irrelevant items; overhype on an issue that has the sticking power of three minutes; and an odd inability to stitch together, at the minimum, 10 different theses to help investors succeed in all time frames.
In my view, this lack of thought innovation, and the short-term mindset we're seeing, are quietly killing the market at a very critical juncture. Improper planning will lead to surprises regarding data that shouldn't be of any surprise if one has preemptively made the correct linkages -- and usually due to thought development that's conducted outside the box. Where there are surprises there is a "sell first, ask questions later" mentality. That only ropes in those individuals who are spending their precious free hours to investigate macroeconomic matters and specific attributes of would-be investments.
Why am I bringing this to your attention somewhat angrily? Well, if you scan the market across sectors, a great many stocks are either resting on their 10-day moving averages or have finally slipped beneath them. Given that stocks are at these levels, I don't sense investor appetite to bid these higher. It appears this was for fear of the volatile state of Mr. Market following headline wars on the fiscal cliff -- and, as Monday showed, of the potential for a stretch of negative data surprises.
It remains my opinion that investors continue to be frighteningly unprepared for December, sitting on such ridiculous advice as "go overweight cyclicals" and "buy industrials." While cyclicals have constituted one of the strongest areas of the market in 2012, component companies will face tougher financials comparisons, as well as consumers dealing with tax increases. As for industrials: So a modest acceleration in China's economic growth is enough to offset the potholes in U.S. and Europe? Did you see that 100-basis-point drop in the export figure from the Institute for Supply Management, tough guy?
While I have the podium, I may as well fine-tune my recent bearish call on the market. You may even want to question getting long defensive sectors, assuming we're heading for an unacceptable fiscal-cliff outcome -- or none at all by year-end. Such a result may create tight correlation among stocks in various sectors. Obviously a great deal of my reservations on "risk assets" will be wiped clean if a deal is reached, and then attention can be shifted to selecting winners from at least six months of suppressed global economic growth. (I reiterate my view that the U.S. is likely to narrowly avert recession.)
Things That Are Keeping Me Up at Night
â—Ź I'm bothered by macroeconomic strategists' obsessive attention on corporate earnings remaining "positive" -- as in, we are not in the colony of losses. In my investing classes, however, I could have sworn one integral qualifier to buying a stock was that earnings growth should be accelerating. When I read this stuff, it takes me into an internal dialogue that bullishness reigns too supreme, and that valuations are at risk, given the likely short-term direction of news flow.
â—Ź The market clearly hated the November ISM report, but I don't think it really embraced the deceleration in the headline number. My sense was that the market believed December would be a bounce-back month, instead of the second consecutive month of disappointment. What this means is that November started a new trend, and that it marked the beginning of fiscal-cliff impact prior to its real effects.
â—Ź The iShares Dow Jones Transportation Average (IYT) continues to install a series of lower highs, and the Dow Jones Transportation Average was a laggard Monday. Perhaps these moves better capture the true message of the ISM report -- which is to be prepared for data surprises in December.
â—Ź It's strange how Joy Global (JOY) has halted its uptrend in the face of encouraging China data. I guess the rest of the world does matter.
Short Candidate List
â—Ź Target (TGT): As Wal-Mart (WMT) has started to come on lately, Target has been losing ground. This action could be signaling that the market is pricing in a fiscal-cliff trade-down thesis.
â—Ź General Electric (GE): I don't particularly care for how the stock has acted on a relative basis in the past two weeks or so, and I believe everyone is jumping on the overweight industrial sector a touch early.

Fans of In-N-Out Burger were salivating with the rumors again floating that the popular eatery was finally coming to Vallejo.
Not so, company officials say. And so it goes, the closest In-N-Out to Vallejo is in Pinole, a time-consuming 8.23 miles away.
Though unreliable sources tell us they are opening a gay-oriented In-N-Out-of-The-Closet Burger in Berkeley.
Part of President Obama's "Don't Ask, Don't Overcook" policy.
SIGN OF THE CRIMES ... Be on the lookout for an orange car, likely a Honda CRX. That's the description right now of the suspect in stealing one of county supe candidate Erin Hannigan's large road signs from a private residence. Pilfered in the middle of Sunday afternoon. As it turns out, the possible suspect posted the sign and used the back to make a plea for a lost pit bull. I'd hate to say "Only in Vallejo," so I won't. The reward for returning the dog is $100 which, said Hannigan, is the value of her sign. Actually, a fourth Hannigan sign was swiped Friday afternoon. E-Han now leads Tony Intintoli in stolen signs, 4-to-1.
"C" IS FOR COOKIE ... in response to Prez candidate Mitt Romney's promise to banish PBS to Oscar the Grouch's trash can, a "Million Puppet March" is set for Nov. 3 in Washington, D.C. In 2011 the federal government spent about $430 million to support the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which then divided that money between PBS, NPR and various other stations and programs. More than 8 million kids watch "Sesame Street" on a daily basis. Of course, if Romney wanted to, he can scribble a personal check to support PBS and write it off on his taxes. It's win-win!
MONEY GRAB ... Romney and Obama should end up spending about $2.5 billion by the time it's all over. All for a four or eight year job that pays a mere 400 grand. It's gotta be for the $150,000 a year pension. Hey wait! I'm paying George W. Bush and his dad $150,000 a year? Keep the government out of my wallet!
HOMER HAPPY ... Vallejo police Sgt. Jeff Bassett must've thought that catch of a Buster Posey homer in the San Francisco Giants' opening round of the National League playoffs against Cincinnati was a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Amazingly, lighting -- more precisely, Pablo "Panda" Sandoval -- struck twice. Sitting in the front row in the left field bleachers at AT&T in the first game of the World Series on Wednesday, Bassett snagged Panda's second of three homers in the win against Detroit.
SNAGGED ... Cops on Friday arrested a suspect in the torching of Mayor Osby Davis' office. The suspect doesn't have a shirt in the photo supplied by police. Perhaps he burned it while ironing. Yes. Ironic.
CRAZY COP ... And in New York City, a police officer was charged in a plot to kidnap, torture, cook and eat at least 100 women. Sounds like a half-baked idea. Or, perhaps, the officer called in sick during pre-employment psychological evaluations. More likely a New York Mets season ticket holder who finally snapped.

V-Mart could see time behind the plate this season
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Manager Jim Leyland is focused on having Victor Martinez be his primary designated hitter this season, but he isn't ruling out the former All-Star catcher getting back behind the plate at some point.
In fact, he sounded very much as though he's anticipating this when the Tigers don't have the DH slot to use.
"Eventually, at some point, if he's real healthy, he could catch a game in Interleague Play," Leyland said. "That's down the road. I don't want to make a big deal about that, because we've laid low on that. But is it a possibility? Yeah, down the road.
"It is going to happen for sure? I can't answer that, but I think it's a strong possibility. If you felt like there was some nasty, nasty left-hander and Victor was healthy enough and you felt like you weren't risking anything, you might do it. And he'll want to do it, I know that."
Martinez has not caught in a game this spring, and probably won't, but Leyland said he has worked out behind the plate.
The Tigers had Martinez catch some games during Interleague Play two years ago, shifting Alex Avila to third base on some days and completely sitting him on others. That, however, was the old format, in which Interleague games were concentrated into one weekend in May and a few weeks in June.
This is the first year Interleague games are spread out over the full schedule. The Tigers' first National League series comes up in late April, when the Braves go to Detroit. Their first games in NL cities without the DH will be on May 7-8 in Washington, and another two-game set comes up at the end of that month, in Pittsburgh.
After that they don't have to worry about NL rules until late August, when they visit the Mets. The big worry, though, will come with the regular season's final three games, in Miami. So it's possible the American League Central could be decided without the DH in play.
Given that, it makes sense that the Tigers will not rule out the idea. It also makes sense for Detroit to field the best lineup it can in the most important games, whether that lineup includes Martinez and/or Avila.

Agreement brings together two leading businesses within the western Wisconsin dairy industry
Raj Lall, president and CEO of Vets Plus, Inc.(VPI) in Knapp, Wisc.; and John Vrieze, owner of Emerald/Baldwin Dairies (Emerald, Wisc.; Baldwin, Wisc.); announce a partnership between the two businesses. The agreement, which has the option to renew annually, will allow VPI to conduct field trials at Emerald Dairy, as well as utilize their on-site classroom and facilities for training and customer visits.
"John is an innovative and green' producer; he is very concerned about minimizing if not eliminating the carbon footprint of his dairies. To be able to partner with a local and progressive dairy, such as Emerald Dairy is very exciting for our team," Lall said. "This strategic partnership will take Vets Plus to the next level and will benefit our distribution partners and, ultimately, the producer with proven products to enhance the bottom line for dairy producers."
Within the three dairies Vrieze owns Baldwin Dairy (founded in 1997), Emerald Dairy (1999), Emerald Dairy II (2001) there are about 2600 cows, of which, 2200 are milking. The VPI/Emerald Dairy partnership will fulfill the mission of both organizations to increase production and the overall well-being of the cows using nutraceuticals, through trials and R&D opportunities.
"I was excited after meeting Raj," Vrieze said. "I enjoy working with people who say, Let's try that.'"
In addition to the dairies, Vrieze's wife, Pam, manages a greenhouse, which is heated using the methane that is a byproduct from the digester. They are also experimenting with the digester effluent and other byproducts on the farm to become more self-sustaining at the greenhouse. Vrieze has made significant investments into such processes, which also allow them to sell the bio-gasses that are created during the anaerobic digestion process to companies to help power homes using natural gas.
The Vrieze family has farmed in St. Croix County since 1906, starting with Vrieze's grandfather. Vrieze is proud of the fact that his carbon footprint, per cow, is much less today than the generations of his grandfather and father.
"The industry is better today (about environmental awareness) than in (past) generations, but we can still get better," Vrieze said. "And, if we can help our cows last longer and get more out of them, we'll need less heifers and the impact that goes with it."
About Vets Plus, Inc.
Vets Plus, Inc. (VPI), located in Knapp, Wisconsin, is a leading manufacturer and distributor of animal health and nutrition products, including Probios®, Replamin®, Swine Prefer, Pets Prefer, Goats Prefer and Horses Prefer product lines.
Founded in 1990 by entrepreneur Raj Lall, VPI began manufacturing and distributing animal health and nutrition products. By 2002, VPI had formed a strategic marketing and manufacturing alliance with Chr. Hansen in Denmark, thus earning the license to market and manufacture the Probios® line of products. From 2005-10, VPI, was known as BOMAC Vets Plus, Inc., after a partnership agreement was reached with Bomac of New Zealand. During that time, the company also formed a strategic marketing and manufacturing alliance with Albion Animal Health on Replamin® and Pull Thru® brand products (2008). Following the acquisition of BOMAC New Zealand by Bayer (Germany) in late 2010, the company has successfully transitioned back to Vets Plus, Inc., and now boasts 100,000 square feet of manufacturing / warehouse / office space. VPI is proud of its continued growth into a leader within the animal health industry and ability to manufacture more than 350 products, while maintaining ISO-9001 and NASC certifications, and remaining cGMP and AFFCO compliant. VPI is also a member of the American Pet Products Association (APPA).
About Emerald Dairy
Emerald Dairy is located in St. Croix County, Wisconsin, and was founded by John Vrieze. The business consists of three dairies Emerald Dairy, Baldwin Dairy and Emerald Dairy II and milks 2200 cows, producing more than 180,000 pounds of milk, daily. Emerald Dairy II also includes a TMF facility attached to a building utilized for classroom work and dormitories and has housed visitors and, in particular, students from the University of Minnesota working on continuing their field education.
Vrieze is a third generation dairy producer, as his grandfather founded the family farm in the area in 1906. When Vrieze joined the family business, the herd transitioned from being a commercial herd to a registered herd, consisting of 60 cows; he also sold embryos and bulls nationally and internationally. In 1989, Vrieze sold the original registered herd and placed his focus on marketing embryos. By the mid-1990s, though, he decided to return to being a dairy producer and, in 1997, Baldwin Dairy was built. Emerald Dairy followed two years later with Emerald Dairy II and the TMF facility finishing construction in 2001.
In addition to successfully managing a dairy, Vrieze has invested a significant amount of time and money into his goal of becoming an operation with a minimal, or even negative, carbon footprint. The installation of an anaerobic digestion system allows Vrieze to take the manure from the cattle and, through the anaerobic digestion process, create a form of biogas, which can be used by energy companies for natural gas to power homes. A greenhouse on the Baldwin Dairy property is naturally heated from the byproducts of the anaerobic digester.

OAKLAND — The easiest way to quantify the Warriors' collective rebound this season? Rebounding.
The Warriors came into 2012-13 as arguably the worst rebounding team in the NBA for three years running, and at least in terms of opponent differential, there was no "arguably" about it. They were 30th — dead last — for three consecutive seasons.
This year? They are second in rebound differential, and gaining on the front-running Minnesota Timberwolves, averaging 4.6 more rebounds per game than the competition as opposed to 6.6 fewer last season. That's an incredible leap in glass-sweeping for a team that still lacks a monster rebounder.
Across the statistical board, the Warriors have made similar quantum improvements on the boards. They are tied for second in total rebounds (28th a year ago), tied for second in rebound percentage (30th a year ago), first in defensive rebounds (tied for 22nd a year ago) and 10th in offensive rebounds (29th a year ago).
Where it's most telltale: The win-loss column. The Warriors are 20-2 when they outrebound opponents, 2-8 when they don't. They have outrebounded opponents 22 times in 32 games. Last season, in 66 games, they outrebounded opposing teams only 17 times.
Even with center Andrew Bogut still out of action, they're only getting stronger. The Warriors have an ongoing streak of 14 games with at least 41 rebounds — something they haven't done in a decade — and are 11-3 in those games.
So how to explain such a drastic rebounding overhaul? Though it may sound overly simple, coach Mark Jackson contends effort and focus have played a major part.
"It boiled down to us understanding that we had one guy who has historically been a rebounder his entire career, and that's David Lee," he said. "We realized we have to do it by committee and that the last line of our defense — which we have preached from Day 1 — is securing the basketball. If you don't rebound, it's a poor defensive trip, it's a reset. So now we've got a bunch of guys — small guys and big guys — committed to gang rebounding."
Just that term alone gives the rejuvenated effort some attitude.
"No question, we take it personal," Carl Landry said. "We try to give teams one shot and one shot only. That's what winning teams do."
The Warriors have nine players averaging at least three rebounds a game. Lee is second among NBA power forwards at 11.1 per game. Stephen Curry is third among point guards at 4.5. Klay Thompson is eighth among shooting guards at 4.0.
The bench has been key. Landry is averaging 6.7 rebounds in 25 minutes, so his boards per minute are nearly the equal of Lee. The same goes for rookie Draymond Green, who is averaging nearly four rebounds a game in only 14 minutes of playing time.
And who leads the Warriors in rebounds per minutes played? Would you believe Andris Biedrins, who is averaging 3.6 boards in 10.1 minutes? That would project to 12.9 rebounds if he were playing 36 minutes.
Just imagine if and when Bogut, who has a 9.7 per game career rebound average, gets into the mix.
"We're a good rebounding team now," Landry said. "With Andrew, the sky will be the limit."
Lee points largely to personnel upgrades for the about-face on the boards.
"Our guards and wings have done a great job helping us out," he said. "Last year we started two smaller guards, and we were outmatched size-wise at every position. And it definitely takes five guys. You can't just have one or two guys rebounding and the rest of the guys standing around watching."
It's just about focus, not something you work on in practice, Lee said. Landry agreed, noting that when the team looks at the postgame box score now, two categories are emphasized.
"Field goal percentage and rebounding," he said. "Those two go together. If we're outshooting the opposition and also outrebounding them, we know we have a very good chance of winning."
Indeed, because they are packing the paint, contesting more shots and holding opponents to 42.7 percent shooting (second-best in the league), they are getting more opportunities for rebounds, and taking advantage of them.
Jackson believes the turning point in the Warriors' rebounding mentality came when they lost a 107-101 double-overtime home game to Denver on Nov. 10. The Nuggets outrebounded them 65-54, including 23-13 on the offensive boards.
"The single reason we lost that game was because we couldn't get rebounds," he said. "You can preach a sermon all you want, but at the end of the day, people have to live it, feel it and take the hit of the results when you don't do it right. That loss hurt. It stung."

Chad Henne has been benched
Sparano benches Henne
Posted by Mike Florio on November 10, 2010 1:20 PM ET
Shortly after noon ET, we shared with you rumors from the Dolphins locker room that quarterback Chad Henne could be benched for quarterback Chad Pennington.
And it's happened.
Per multiple reports, Sparano made the disclosure at a Wednesday press conference. As a result, Pennington is the new starter.
"This is not an indictment on Chad Henne, not an indictment on his future," Sparano said, via Mike Berardino of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "At this particular time this is something I feel I need to do."
Sparano said that Henne "was disappointed, as I would expect, but a tremendous professional."
It had been suggested that Pennington would provide a bridge to Tyler Thigpen. It sounds like Henne will still have a chance to become the starter again.
Until then, Henne becomes the latest second-round pick that the Dolphins have wasted in an attempt to find the next Dan Marino. From A.J. Feeley to Daunte Culpepper to John Beck to Chad Henne to Pat White, the Dolphins have swung and missed on five second-round selection, via trading or using the picks.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. - A mother of 5 is trying to figure out how she'll be able to replace Christmas gifts that a burglar stole from her home.
Police said the burglary happened at a home off Altima Avenue in Brunswick on Friday.
Kemberly Bradley said she came home, dropped off her gifts still in the bags, then took her kids out to get something to eat. That's when the crook struck.
Bradley came home after dinner to a devastating sight. Her bathroom window was open and all the Christmas presents she bought for her kids were gone.
"And when somebody comes to our house and takes from us, I don't think that's right. and whoever is out there, I'm gonna pray for them because that was very wrong for them to enter my house and take their things," said Bradley.
She said someone must have seen her leave with her family and took advantage.
"My house is not just my house, it's our home, and when somebody invades our privacy and takes the little bit of things we do have, that the Lord blessed us with," Bradley said.
Bradley and her five kids live in one of Brunswick's public housing complexes. She's there because she's disabled. She said she appreciates the assistance, but the place needs to be safe. Bradley said it's dark at night and it's too easy to break in.
"Security needs to be up to date, they need to fix it up, and they need to protect the people living inside housing complexes," Bradley said.
With no one caught and no signs of the gifts, Bradley wants to warn all her neighbors that the Grinch is in town.
"Everybody, they need to know you have people around here, robbing your homes, taking from your children, taking from your family. and it's not right!"
Anyone with information on the theft is asked to call Brunswick police, or to help the Bradley family email Channel 4's Vic Micolucci at email@example.com.

|Strength of Schedule Report
November 9, 2011
Future Shock
Seattle Mariners Top 11 Prospects
Previous Rankings: 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008
System in 20 Words or Less: As enviable a trio of starters as any team, but system leans on hopes of exceedingly young talent from there.
Five-Star Prospects
Nine More
1. Taijuan Walker, RHP
Year in Review: This supplemental first-round pick created some buzz in instructs, and followed that up with a stunning pro debut.
2. Danny Hultzen, LHP
Year in Review: Hultzen was among the best—and certainly the most consistent—starting pitchers in college baseball. He ended up the second pick in the draft, and signed a big-league deal worth more than $8.5 million.
3. James Paxton, LHP
Year in Review: After not signing with the Blue Jays out of the 2009 draft, Paxton did not make his pro debut until he was 22, but he quickly made up for lost time by reaching Double-A.
4. Nick Franklin, SS
Year in Review: Mononucleosis prevented Franklin from putting up huge numbers at High Desert, but he impressed in the season's final month as a 20-year-old in Double-A.
5. Jose Campos, RHP
Year in Review: This high-ceiling Venezuelan teenager was even better than expected in stateside debut.
6. Guillermo Pimentel, OF
Year in Review: This big-budget outfielder showed plenty of power and plenty of holes in his game.
7. Francisco Martinez, 3B
Year in Review: Martinez had trouble adjusting to Double-A as a 20-year-old Tiger, but he made quick adjustments and was the best prospect received in the deal for Doug Fister.
8. Vinnie Catricala, 3B/1B/OF
Year in Review: Seen as a bit of an organizational player entering the year, Catricala did little for his stock while putting up huge numbers at High Desert, but then he proved it was for real by not slowing down in Double-A.
9. Chih-Hsien Chiang, OF
Year in Review: This Taiwanese import was having out-of-nowhere breakout year, but struggled as a Mariner following the Erik Bedard deal.
10. Chance Ruffin, RHP
Year in Review: Ruffin, another key to the Doug Fister trade, missed bats at every level, including the majors.
11. Phillips Castillo, OF
Year in Review: This seven-figure Dominican outfielder impressed with his pure hitting skills during his pro debut.
The Sleeper: Outfielder Jabari Blash remains a drool-worthy athlete, and scouts have seen some slow but steady progress in his game.
Top 10 Talents 25 And Under (born 4/1/86 or later)
If a team can put three young big-leaguers in front of its five-star prospects, that's an impressive list. While he qualified by just seven days, it's almost shocking to see Hernandez and his 205 big-league starts on the list, and it shows just how valuable an asset he is. After his fantastic rookie showing, Pineda is just going to get better, and has ace potential. Ackely had a very good rookie campaign, and was surprisingly solid at second base, but he looks more and more like a player with a bit of power and speed, as opposed to a 20/20 type. Robinson's propensity for strikeouts led to an ugly showing in the big leagues, but his approach should help him make adjustments. His Triple-A numbers were not a result of playing in Albuquerque. I still have faith in Smoak turning into a solid-average big-league first baseman, but scouts are not generally as optimistic about Carp.
Summary: The Mariners organization has some of the best starting pitching around, but there is a lack of depth among position players and a dependency on very young players. Still, there is more than enough help on the way to provide optimism in the Pacific Northwest.

Is Mike Carp much more valuable than Kyle Seager? Has Seager's role or ceiling changed? Sure seems like the guy can really hit.
Nov 09, 2011 01:45 AM
Have you ever done a ranking of the organizations by Top 10 Talents 25 And Under? It would seem to be a better gauge of player development than just those who qualify in the prospect lists. I would guess that the M's would rank very high on that list.
Nov 09, 2011 04:48 AM
Seems like Jack Z has built up a nice stash of young players. I don't see a CF or a catcher in the lot but plenty of talented bats, enough to put together a 2013/2014 lineup something like:
Nov 09, 2011 07:16 AM
This guy
That's true only if you've been following the team for seven years or so.
Nov 09, 2011 08:51 AM
116 wins isn't that exciting when you get your arse handed to you in the playoffs. Besides that and a few playoff runs in the 90s and early 2000s, this has been one of baseball's roughest histories of success, or lack thereof.
Nov 09, 2011 11:26 AM
It is a sad day when Carlos Triunfel finally falls out of the top 20 prospects for the Mariners... :(
Nov 09, 2011 07:32 AM
not sure i agree with it though. i mean KG hears from scouts, so i'd be curious to know what he's hearing. and all the superstar stuff is clearly out the window at this point. but it really sounds like the mariners still expect him to play in the big leagues. i've seen direct quotes from their player development people along the lines of, if he plays himself off SS, it'll be in the majors.
Nov 09, 2011 09:15 AM
Isn't any team's player development folks going to say that on the record? What good does it do to say he hasn't been as good as expected, or is even not good? He has a fantastic arm but is not a shortstop, and there's just not enough bat for elsewhere.
Nov 09, 2011 09:42 AM
Not that it matters much, but the ranking of the 9 & 10 prospects is internally inconsistent in the article.
Nov 09, 2011 08:02 AM
I think it's awesome that there are two pitchers named Erasmo Ramirez
Nov 09, 2011 09:28 AM
"There are people out there who are starting to give up on Felix Hernandez, and I just don't get that. His age is still a huge factor in his future, as he's still significantly younger than Clay Buchholz, Joba Chamberlain, or Tim Lincecum."
Nov 09, 2011 09:30 AM
My Comment is Pimentel: a little disappointing. Is he more valuable for fantasy because we don't care which OF position he plays and Power is obviously so valuable?
Nov 09, 2011 10:56 AM
Incidentally, does Kyle Seager profile more as a utility then competitor to the future 3B position? Could he handle 2B with Fraklin at SS or would that defense really expose the staff? Thanks Kevin, your work is 90% of the reason I am still with BP.
Nov 09, 2011 11:32 AM
Is Walker's potential ceiling up there with the likes of Hernandez or Verlander, how is ceiling compared to Taillon and Miller?
Nov 09, 2011 11:34 AM
Taijuan Walker is a racist, some say.
Nov 09, 2011 17:45 PM
Dan W.
Nov 09, 2011 17:54 PM
Why are you going through all the threads here accusing assorted players of being racists?
Nov 10, 2011 04:42 AM
Whoa whoa whoa. I'm just repeating what "some" say. No harm done
Nov 10, 2011 09:40 AM
Any word on what Hultzen's fourth pitch is? He seems to have two different change-ups - one that falls off the table, and one that doesn't really sink. What's the latter?
Nov 09, 2011 13:31 PM
Offensively speaking, does Pimentel have a ceiling/profile similar to Mike Stanton (or more average, less power)?
Nov 09, 2011 13:35 PM
Drew Miller
If Snow had made the Top 11, would his Ephemera have been "Born out of wedlock--don't tell Cersei"?
Nov 09, 2011 13:44 PM
Perhaps you have him confused with Taiwan Walker? He of the infamous Taipei Walkers?
Nov 09, 2011 21:13 PM
Hmmm, this should have posted under richardkr34.

The Argentina international has been touted as a possible replacement for the want-away playmaker, but the Nerazzurri boss still hopes the Dutchman will stay put
The Argentina international has been linked with a move to the Giuseppe Meazza side as Sneijder's future at the club is in doubt, but Moratti has not given up hopes of holding on the gifted midfielder just yet.
"Between Sneijder and Pastore, I'd rather have Sneijder. He's the best there is in my opinion," Moratti told reporters.
"Too much has already been said about this. I have an excellent relationship with the lad and when Wesley returns he'll provide added value."
The 28-year-old Sneijder has not featured for Inter since September 26 due to a an ongoing contract dispute, and the Netherlands international stressed earlier this week that he has no intention of accept inga significant pay cut and sign a new deal.

PLEASANTON, Calif. — Vicky Boyd, staff writer for The Packer, gathered these news items at the Fresh Produce & Floral Councils' Northern California Expo April 10.
ATLAS PRODUCE: Caramel Naturel dates now come in 12-ounce packages. The company takes five fewer steps in the manufacturing process, reducing the products' carbon footprint. The containers are designed to focus on the fruit, says Ben Antongiovanni, sales for Atlas Produce & Distribution Inc., Bakersfield, Calif.
BARD VALLEY DATES: The Bard Valley Medjool Date Growers Association, Bard, Calif., introduced chili lime date rolls in 4.4- and 12-ounce packages under its Natural Delights brand. The new flavor is still being tested, but appears to be well received, said Dave Nelsen, vice president of sales for Datepac LLC, Yuma, Ariz.
BOLTHOUSE FARMS: Bakersfield, Calif.-based Wm. Bolthouse Farms Inc. added a "Multi-V Goodness" flavor to its smoothie line, salted caramel latte to its cafe beverage line, and mango ginger and the kale-based Daily Greens to its juice line. The grower, packer and processor also introduced Italian vinaigrette and miso ginger vinaigrette dressings to its salad dressings, says Ryan Popke, regional sales manager.
CLASSIC SALADS: Watsonville, Calif.-based Classic Salads LLC introduced two new triple-washed salads for health conscious consumers × organic baby kale and a Super Mix blend. Both come in 5-ounce and 10-ounce clamshells, says John Burge, vice president, sales and marketing.
COLORFUL HARVEST: Although Salinas, Calif.-based Colorful Harvest has marketed blueberries in the past, it now has the berries year-round. The firm is working with growers in Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas and hopes to have arrangements with growers in California and the Pacific Northwest shortly, says Robbie Coyle, business development manager.
EAT SMART/APIO: Apio Inc., Guadalupe, Calif., has a sweet kale salad blend that contains seven superfoods: broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, baby kale, chickory, dried cranberries and roasted pumpkin seeds, along with poppy seed dressing. The blend, marketed under the Eat Smart brand, comes in 12-ounce and 28-ounce bags, says Mike Curran, vice president of sales for Apio/GreenLine.
GILLS ONIONS: After a hiatus from the market following recalls over listeria concerns, Gill's Onions LLC, Oxnard, Calif., will return shortly with two new products in 15-ounce jars: caramelized red onions and grilled onions. "These are great for convenience because caramelizing onions is a chore to do with pots and pans," says Pat Caselli of Edge Sales & Marketing, a broker for Gill's.
MANN PACKING: Keeping in line with sustainability initiatives, Mann Packing Co. Inc., San Ramon, introduced lidless vegetable trays with individually sealed compartments. The grower-shipper also added 8- and 32-ounce bags of French beans and 10- and 22-ounce bags of crinkle-cut sweet potatoes to its extensive line of bagged vegetables, said Fernando Azevedo, national accounts, western region sales manager.
MASTRONARDI: The long, slender Sweet Twister from Mastronardi Produce West LLC, Salinas, resembles an Anaheim chili pepper, but its sweet taste tells you otherwise. The red and orange peppers, marketed under the Sunset brand, are available in 8-ounce and 1 1/2-pound handled grab-and-go bags, says Ken Silveira, president.
MELISSA'S: Melissa's has introduced 12-ounce microwavable packages of roasted baby Dutch potatoes with olive oil and rosemary that are ready in two to three minutes. World Variety Produce Inc., Los Angeles, which markets under the Melissa brand, also added 3-ounce containers of washed, cleaned and sliced leaks as well as kale sprouts, a blend of shredded brussels sprouts and kale, says Louie Barragan, sales.
NATURIPE: Salinas-based Naturipe Farms LLC introduced 18-ounce flow-wrapped containers of prewashed ready-to-serve blueberries for food service.

READY PAC: Ready Pac, Salinas, added four blends to its organic Bistro Bowl offerings. They are chicken caesar, southwest style, cranberry walnut, and baby spinach and chicken. The blends are available in 4.5-7.5-ounce lunch sizes, and all are less than 300 calories, says Alan Ediger, senior vice president of sales.
RPE: The Tasteful Selections line of specialty potatoes now includes small reds and yellows in 16-ounce microwavable bags that can be cooked in 6 minutes. Bancroft, Wis.-based RPE also redesigned the bags for Tasteful Selection's Ruby Fingerling and Sunrise Medley to reduce consumer confusion, says Mark Bucek, regional sales manager.
SHANLEY FARMS: Morro Bay-based Shanley Farms shows off finger limes, an inch-long specialty citrus filled with small juice sacs that resemble fish roe. When consumers bite down on the sacs, they pop with a refreshing lime flavor, says Megan Shanley, director of marketing and sales.
TANIMURA & ANTLE: The Gem lettuce variety, a cross between Romaine and butter lettuce, has been coveted in culinary circles for years. Salinas-based Tanimura & Antle plans to introduce the variety to consumers in a three-pack marketed as Little Gems Sweet Lettuce, says Diana McClean, director of marketing. The company also plans to introduce Sweet Broccoli under its Artisan label.
WHOLLY GUACAMOLE: Two new varieties — homestyle with sea salt and salsa with spicy pico de gallo —joined the line of prepared guacamole products from Wholly Guacamole, part of Fresherized Foods, Saginaw, Texas. They are available in 10- to 12-ounce containers.

VOTERS go to the polls tomorrow casting their ballots in both the Winchester City Council elections and for the European Parliament.
A poll of 1,000 voters by the Daily Echo in Winchester, Southampton, Eastleigh and Fareham last week showed the Conservatives in the lead with UKIP second and Labour slightly ahead of the Liberal Democrats. A sizeable number of people were undecided.
In Winchester 200 people were polled in the city centre last week. Of the 142 who said they would vote, 35 backed the Tories, 29 the Lib Dems, 18 UKIP, 10 Labour, three Green, one independent and one would abstain. But 45 were still undecided.
The city council votes will be counted on Friday morning at the Guildhall.
Meanwhile UKIP leader Nigel Farage visited his target town of Eastleigh yesterday in the wake of the row about his comment that he thought people would be concerned if Romanians moved in next door.
One leading Romanian businessman, based in Otterbourne, has responded by saying he could "teach Mr Farage a few things" about being a good neighbour.
Calin Huma, a Romanian businessman from Otterbourne and resident in the UK for almost 20 years, is founder of the British Romanian International Development Gateway Exchange.
Mr Huma said: "My problem is that describing an entire people by the actions that might have been done by certain Romanians is wrong.
"As a Romanian I have never had a problem here, and I feel that I am an exemplary citizen who has integrated well and who is good friends with his neighbours. I think Mr Farage would find that Romanians integrate very well in their communities in the UK. If he moved in next to me I could teach him a few things, as although we have free speech in the UK, society doesn't regulate whether or not you are educated in the matters that you talk about."
There was better news for the Lib Dems at a packed hustings in Winchester last Friday.
A show of hands gave their candidate Catherine Bearder MEP victory over Daniel Hannan, the Conservative MEP.
The candidates were asked about immigration, trade, jobs and energy.
On immigration Alan Stevens, for UKIP, said he favoured a points system which would see more skilled non-white, non-EU immigrants. He added: "The EU is a jobs killer. In Hampshire the Ford factory was shipped out to Turkey with EU money."
John Howarth, for Labour, said he knew of a young Pole from Southampton who had won entrepreneur of the year and now employed 35 British people. "Immigration has not been bad for the British economy, but when the economy goes bad people blame the immigrants. We have learned tolerance and we need to stop hate-peddling."
Mr Hannan took a strong Eurosceptic line. "We are currently trapped in the only trade bloc on the planet that is shrinking economically. That is no place for a country like ours."
Ms Bearder said thousands of British jobs would be lost if the UK left the EU. Southern-based firms Siemens, GEC, GKN, Unilever, Airbus and Nissan had all called for the UK to remain a member.
Keith Taylor, Green MEP, said it was vital to put people and the environment at the centre of things and not private profit.
There was cross-panel agreement that the benefits system needs to be tightened; that was a domestic issue and nothing to do with the EU.
Around 150 people squeezed into the conference chamber in the Guildhall, a decent number although the meeting was originally booked for the much larger Bapsy Hall.
The hustings was organised by the cross-party European Movement.
The Euro votes will be counted at Southampton Guildhall on Sunday May 25.
The poll of 1,000 people: Q1 - Do you know that local elections are taking place on May 22?
Yes: 896 No: 104 Q2: Will you vote at the elections?
Yes: 691 No: 236 Undecided: 73 Q3: Which party will you vote for?
Conservative: 168 Labour: 103 Lib Dem: 100 UKIP: 126 Green: 17 Socialists: 8 Other: 8 Undecided: 161

Kim Cattrall Gossip
Kim Cattrall gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Do you want #3?
Been waiting for new shots of SJP because for a few days now there are have signs that a third Sex & The City movie might happen. First Jennifer Hudson mentioned on a radio show saying that someone wanted to talk to her about it. Then SJP and Kristin Davis were squealing back and forth at each other on Twitter. Full Story
Take refuge among Hello Kitties
SJP and co left the States just in time to escape critical evisceration of their movie and the uncomfortable reality of a tepid box office. As noted in today's open, Sex & the City 2 is one of the worst reviewed movies of the year. But not for the Hello Kitties. My people, we Asians, we are major consumers of designer goods, perhaps part of the reason why luxury is no longer luxury. Full Story
Sex & Headgear
I am angry about Sex & the City 2 right now but what SJP is doing on the carpet tonight in London for the premiere is pretty f-cking amazing. If it's anywhere you want to do this, it's obviously in England. Definitely spectacular. So of course there are more photos of her than of the other girls. Full Story
Sex & the City 2
Major spoilers ahead. You've been warned. I have a friend who told me: Never see a movie featuring white people on camels unless it's an historical drama. Word. Oh but you will go see SATC2 anyway. Even though it's getting annihilated by critics, even though I'm about to annihilate it here, you will see it for the Dress Porn, which is fine, if that's all that the film is declaring itself to be. Full Story
Dialogue not important
Of course it isn't. Sex & the City the tv show cared about writing and story. Sex & the City the movies serve only one purpose: Dress Porn. If Carrie is wearing an amazing pair of shoes who gives a sh-t if what's happening around her makes no sense. So it doesn't seem like they even tried. Full Story
Sex & the City ... in the desert
So there's a new Sex & the City 2 trailer. And thanks God there's no mute Asian baby, but there's also not much of a city. They open with Empire State of Mind and they end up on camels in the Middle East... why isn't this sh-t called Sex & anywhere BUT Manhattan? This after all was a foundation point of the show. Full Story
I'm gloating
You can click away if you can't handle it but it's the only joy I can find in this f-ckery of a photo series. As I first reported exclusively way back in July, JailBait Miley Cyrus was indeed offered a one day cameo on Sex & the City 2, shooting in New York last Friday with Kim Cattrall, a scene that involved Samantha Jones showing up at an event in the same ensemble. Full Story
Two lights in the dark
Remember when Carrie Bradshaw, who writes a SEX COLUMN, refused to talk about her sex life with her 3 closest friends in the Sex & the City Movie? Yeah, I rag on that sh-t a lot. Because it was sh-t. And the 2nd one will be sh-t too. Except for Samantha Jones. And… Smith Jerrod? Jason Lewis appeared on set in New York today looking REALLY good. Full Story
She still looks mute
They're continuing to shoot Sex & the City 2 in New York. A familiar prop was back on set today: The mute Asian baby! Photo Assumption says she's still mute. They put her at the lunch table again. Where are her crayons? How will they use her as a lame plot device this time? Let's give it a stab: Anthony and Stanford get married. Full Story
Don't expect a plot…
When it comes to the Sex & the City sequel. It's not like there's a story left to tell that's worth telling, is there? And don't say Carrie having kids. As hard as this might be for some people to believe, it IS possible for a character to be complete without knowing motherhood. Full Story
Here comes Samantha Jones
SJP and Cynthia Nixon are back at work on the set of Sex & the City 2. Today it was Kim Cattrall's turn. She looks great. I keep hearing Kim's voice every night this week during the US Open. Love watching evening tennis. And she's been narrating these intro pieces including player profiles and opening sequences. Full Story

That Depends on Whether You Have Insurance.
It was the moment all collectors fear most. Trying to balance his valuable Sideshow Predator 2 statue on a top shelf, Sean Michael watched it tip over, like in slow motion, and crash to the floor. "It was kind of surreal. I felt so stupid. How did I ever do this? My girlfriend rushed in from the other room, and knew instantly what happened. We both stared at it for a couple of minutes, in silence."
Sean, a customer service rep, had an eerie feeling about this moment, but because he was prepared, he was not stuck with the loss. After the shock wore off, he got on the phone to Collectibles Insurance Services. "I had really never thought about insurance before," said the collector of high-end Cinemaquettes, Sideshow Premium Formats and replicas from Hollywood Collectibles Group. "I didn't know you could buy insurance for your collection. I saw Collectibles Insurance on a thread somewhere. When I looked into it, I found out homeowner's doesn't regularly cover this kind of thing. The pros outweighed the cons, and I got it."
You all might have seen Collectibles Insurance at Comic-Con. They're very interested in the toy and figure world, and they're a figures.com network sponsor. "We're at the San Diego Comic-Con, New York Comic Con in October, C2E2, Baltimore Comic Con, Wizard World Philadelphia, Pittsburgh Comic Con, the York PA toy show - all over the place to make connections with people who collect toys, figures and statues," said Annemarie Fitzpatrick, Director at Collectibles Insurance Services.
"The big problem for collectors is that their homeowner's or renter's insurance most of the time doesn't cover their collections," Annemarie said. "Our company specializes in collectibles, and we understand that collections are not properly covered by regular homeowners insurance. The person who runs our claims program at McLarens Young International used to be a Risk Manager at Sotheby's. If you have a problem, you want to get paid. That's what we do."
At Collectibles Insurance, you can talk to the person who works on your account. "When the claims adjuster contacted me," Sean Michael said, "They asked me what I wanted to do. I of course wanted to replace the statue. They said to find one for sale. I found the least expensive one available on eBay and they said go ahead and buy it. I gave them the receipt and they verified the eBay auction and they paid me. A very, very smooth process, and I got the statue-diorama back like nothing ever happened."
Sean was pleased. "It was a great experience... easy going, no roadblocks of any kind. It really felt like they wanted to take care of you."
I live in Missouri, so I asked Annemarie how much it would be to insure collectors here, and this is what she told me:
- $38/year for $5,000 in coverage
- $293 for $50,000 in coverage
- $639 for $100,000 in coverage
The rates are fairly consistent across the country and only differ slightly. You can get a quote for your collection by phone (888-837-9537), online (www.collectinsure.com) or by email (firstname.lastname@example.com).
G.I. Joes, Batman and early Spawn are Joseph Steuri's toy interest. He is retired and living in Wisconsin, seemingly home to more toy and figure collectors per capita than anywhere else on the planet. He ran into Collectibles Insurance at the Kane County show about ten years ago. He was having trouble getting his homeowner's insurance to understand his collecting.
"The collecting was just something that became a monster. Most people refer to my house as a warehouse. It's a disease that knows no cure. So at Kane County, Collectibles Insurance had a booth. They seemed geared to more what we were looking for," Steuri said. "I've never had a claim, but I talk to them every year. Still a lot cheaper than going through what I call the 'standard' insurance people. The standard homeowners people don't understand what collectibles are all about. The only other advice I have for collectors is to do it because you like it, not because you are going to get rich. That and if there are any collectors of WaterWorld out there, please get a hold of me. I can make you a heck of a deal."
Right now, Annemarie said that anybody who calls or emails from figures.com, rebelscum.com, yojoe.com, onesixthwarriors.com or any of the sites on the network gets a 5% discount off their first term premium. So if you call them or email them, be sure to mention the Figures.com Network web sites in order to receive the discount. Quotes are available online by answering six simple questions, you can download an application online and email or fax it back.
Once the policy is issued, there are four underwriters who manage the accounts. You can discuss your policy with your underwriter over the phone and request changes via email, fax or mail. You can also request changes and make payments online. Collectibles Insurance sends renewals by mail 45-60 days ahead of the effective date. Premiums are due on the effective date but you get approximately a 10-day grace period from the due date. The agency contacts customers whose premiums are past due to remind them their renewal is due.
Just so you're covered.

A Guide To Ford Ranger Pickups
Being number one in sales doesn't guarantee a First Place popularity rating among modified pickups. Ford builds some excellent trucks and sells 'em by the millions...
Being number one in sales doesn't guarantee a First Place popularity rating among modified pickups. Ford builds some excellent trucks and sells 'em by the millions. F-series trucks have outsold all other cars and trucks for so long it's hard to remember who used to be top dog. Ford's compact pickup, the Ranger, is also a sales superstar. Rangers consistently outsell all other compact pickups. Yet, Chevy S-10 pickups are far more popular for customizing.
If you're a Ford loyalist, the production versus popularity disparity can work to your advantage. There's a huge supply of Rangers, which makes it easier to find a nice one with the type of equipment you desire. Prices can be slightly lower than similar-year GM S-series pickups, but they're pretty close. Condition, mileage, and options are more of a price determinant than brand. Early Rangers seem to be slightly more expensive than S-10s, but when body styles changed in the '90s (1993 for the Ranger and 1994 for the S-10), Chevys took a slight price lead.
Like its big brother, the F-150, the Ranger suffers from I-beamitus. That suspension condition leads to nose bleeds. Trucks with I-beam front suspensions are far more difficult to lower than trucks with traditional upper and lower A-arm suspensions. Since a nice, low stance is a sport truck hallmark, lowering difficulties have obviously affected Ranger popularity in the modified realm.
Ford switched to a short/long arm front suspension in 1997 for the F-series and in 1998 for the Rangers. Instantly, it was easy to lower the redesigned Fords, and modified ones started appearing in far greater numbers than before. Ranger made the change so recently that you won't find much in the way of bargain-priced '98-'99 models. Your best hope might be a '98 that was on a short two-year lease.
Rangers were introduced in March 1982 as '83 models. Ford was half a year behind the new S-10, but the Ranger was a formidable competitor. It was a major improvement over Ford's previous compact pickup, the Mazda-built Courier. Unfortunately, Ranger engines were Courier carryovers, a 75hp 2.0L four-cylinder and the Big 4, a 2.3L that pumped out a tire-saving 80 hp.
Early engines were still small-truck stuff, but the slab-sided styling was very similar to the F-series. The simple, sharp lines were very pleasing. The early Rangers still look handsome today. The early trucks are from Ford's straight-line styling era, not the more rounded look that appeared in 1987 on the F-series and in 1989 on the Ranger. The F-150 really went for the rounded look in 1997, and the Ranger was restyled again in 1998.
Six-cylinder engines were added to the Ranger in the spring of 1983. The optional engine was a 2.8L V-6. The big 4.0L V-6 arrived for the '90 model year. Horsepower for the 4.0 engine topped out at 160 hp. Late-model Rangers are good performers.
Ranger cab and body styles share the F-150 designations. The wide beds are called Stylesides and the stepside beds are called Flaresides. Flareside beds are 6 feet long and were introduced with the Splash model in 1993; Styleside beds are available in 6-foot and 7-foot lengths. The extended cabs are called SuperCabs. Content level designations have included Custom, Sport, XL, XLT, XLS, STX, S, and Splash. SuperCab Rangers are very popular because of their spaciousness and added versatility. The addition of four-door SuperCabs in 1998 was very well received.

Sandwiches are a go-to lunch favorite, but come dinnertime I crave something with substance. What if I told you a satisfying meal is within reach without ever turning on the stove or oven? And it doesn't involve chopping veggies to make a salad. All you need to do is plug in your Cuisinart Griddler. Paninis are a tasty way to enjoy a meal when you have little time or no desire to head into a hot kitchen.
All you need to get started are your favorite sandwich fixings and bread. Recently I was craving a BLT, but had used up all of my farmers' market tomatoes. I decided tomato jam from the pantry was a more than acceptable stand-in. The pancetta, an Italian-style bacon, I had in the fridge would gussy this diner classic up a bit too. No lettuce on hand—it was the day before my normal market shop, I swapped in some fresh, thinly sliced mozzarella, ensuring it would all hold together as the cheese melted. As an after thought, I remembered I had some peppery arugula growing in the yard. Next time I intend to pluck some and stuff it inside too. Needless to say, everyone at my house is looking at sandwiches a little differently come 6:00pm.
PMT—Pancetta, Mozzarella & Tomato Jam
Makes one sandwich
2 slices white Pullman bread
3 cooked slices pancetta
3 thinly sliced pieces of fresh mozzarella
2 teaspoons tomato jam
- Preheat Cuisinart® Griddler® in the closed grill position to 375°F.
- Place one slice of bread on a counter or cutting board. Arrange mozzarella on top. Layer the pancetta over the cheese and spread the tomato jam on top. Top with the remaining slice of bread.
- Place sandwich on the preheated Griddler. Cover, press lightly for 30 seconds and bake for 3 to 4 minutes until bread is grill marked and crispy and cheese is melted. Serve hot.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Tuesday vetoed the most ambitious new oversight proposed in years for the New York Police Department, setting up an override showdown with lawmakers.
Bloomberg's long-expected veto puts the proposals on a course toward what could be a dramatic override vote later this summer.
The measures would create an outside watchdog for the department and a broader path for lawsuits claiming discriminatory policing. The latest in decades-long history of efforts to impose more outside input on the nation's biggest police force, the legislation crystallized from concerns about the NYPD's extensive use of the stop-and-frisk tactic and its widespread surveillance of Muslims, spying that was disclosed in stories by The Associated Press.
"(The measures are) dangerous and irresponsible," the mayor wrote in veto messages, saying each "would make New York less safe."
The mayor and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly have argued vehemently that the legislation will undermine safety by deluging the department in lawsuits and inquiries, making officers hesitant to act for fear of coming under scrutiny and undercutting policing techniques that have cut crime dramatically in recent years.
Civil rights advocates and other proponents say the measures will make the city safer by repairing frayed trust between police and citizens who feel unfairly targeted by stops and surveillance.
"We can have safety and police accountability at the exact same time," City Councilman Jumaane Williams, who joined Councilman Brad Lander in leading the push for the legislation, said when lawmakers debated the measure.
The City Council passed the legislation in June with enough votes for an override. But the piece concerning discrimination lawsuits passed with just exactly the needed number.
Bloomberg has indicated he'd try to persuade lawmakers to change their minds, and the billionaire mayor has suggested he might amplify his message with campaign contributions: "We'll see what I'm going to do. The bottom line is I make no bones about it: I'm telling you I'm going to support those candidates" who agree, he said this month.
The powerful Patrolmen's Benevolent Association police union has sent thousands of fliers targeting some lawmakers who supported the measures. The mailings tell voters their council members "voted against public safety" and urge constituents to call and complain.
The measures' backers, meanwhile, have been trying to put public pressure on Bloomberg. The rapper Talib Kweli recently posted an online petition saying that "we cannot allow one wealthy mayor to stand in the way of progress."
The legislation would give people more latitude to sue in state court if they felt they were stopped because of bias based on race, sexual orientation or certain other factors. The suits couldn't seek money, just court orders to change police practices.
Another provision would establish an inspector general with subpoena power to explore and recommend, but not force, changes to the NYPD's policies and techniques.
City police have conducted about 5 million stop and frisks during the past decade; arrests resulted about 10 percent of the time. Those stopped are overwhelmingly black or Hispanic - about 87 percent in the last two years. Blacks and Hispanics make up 54 percent of the city population.
Stop and frisk is legal, and Bloomberg and Kelly consider it a vital crime-fighting tool. They also say the demographics of the people stopped should be compared with descriptions of crime suspects, not with the makeup of the population as a whole, though not all stops are spurred by suspect descriptions. Some result from officers seeing suspicious behavior, for example.
Critics say that the stops are racial profiling writ large, and that they cast suspicion on innocent people. Some have expressed similar feelings about the NYPD's Muslim surveillance efforts, which entailed infiltrating Muslim student groups, putting informants in mosques and monitoring sermons. The department has said the initiatives were legal and part of a broad effort to prevent terrorist attacks.

Harvey Finkle stood on the third floor of Fairhill Elementary and snapped a photo of a sight he hadn't seen in three decades of documenting Philadelphia's public schools.
Crouched against the wall before him was longtime Principal Darlene Lomax-Garrett, her forehead resting gently in the palm of her hand.
"She was standing at first and knelt down where she was and began to cry," said Finkle. "I had never seen a principal break down like that."
Chronicling closures
The stirring image, taken the final week of the school year, is part of an upcoming exhibit at West Philadelphia's Scribe Video Center that zeroes in on the 24 schools that closed for good in June as a result of the Philadelphia School District's ongoing budget crisis.
The display's 20, mostly color photographs are the work of the Philadelphia School Closings Photo Collective. The loose network of nearly 30 photographers divvied up the list in response to a call for action sent out by heralded artist Zoe Strauss.
At its core, Finkle, staff photographer for the Philadelphia Public School Notebook, a NewsWorks content partner, said the exhibit is a form of protest.
"It's like a visual documentation of what was once a public-school system," said Finkle. "This is the beginning of the decline and the destruction of it."
Tieshka Smith shot photos at Roberts Vaux High School in North Philadelphia during an annual block party organized each year to celebrate the end of the school year.
She said it was a "weird" and "sad" experience.
"It's not like, 'Yeah, block party! See you next year!' It's like, 'Yeah, block party. See you around,'" said Smith.
Northwest Philly involvement
The Germantown-based artist, said visiting Vaux put a finer point on a suspected disconnect between those making the decisions and those impacted by them. It's a gap she hopes the collective's photos can shine a light on and help bridge.
"When you make decisions on pure data and budgets and numbers and strategic plans and things like that, that's great because that's what people at the top should do," said Smith. "But then there's another dimension that has to be incorporated into that decision making that I think sometimes doesn't quite make it there."
Germantown resident Jill Saull focused a lot on the physical aftermath of that process at both Germantown High School and Robert Fulton Elementary, which sits just across Haines Street.
A number of her photos depict materials that were discarded – old transcripts and books – at the end of the school year.
"Metaphorically, it just sort of spoke about throwing these kids away, like not caring about them," said Saull.
Big-picture thoughts
Katrina Ohstrom, who curated and contributed to the exhibit, said she hopes the collective's photographs will help keep the memory of these schools alive so that, maybe, they can help influence future decisions around education.
"These aren't just anonymous schools in lower-income neighborhoods," said Ohstrom. "They're very much a part of the community and ... people who are living in these communities, and the teachers that serve these communities really, really care. And, the students who are attending these schools really want an education."
The opening reception for the exhibit is Wednesday at 6 p.m. It runs through Jan. 17.

MSOC: UNC's Garcia named ACC Freshman of the Year
Posted November 8, 2012
Greensboro, N.C. — Freshman Danny Garcia led six Tar Heels who garnered All-ACC honors on Thursday as he became the second straight Tar Heel to be named the ACC Freshman of the Year.
Garcia joins sophomore Mikey Lopez who claimed the honor in 2011. Lopez and Garcia become the first Tar Heel duo to be named the ACC Freshman of the Year in back-to-back seasons since Temoc Suarez and Carey Talley accomplished the feat in 1993 and 1994.
The freshman forward picked up two more honors on Thursday as he was named to the All-ACC Second Team along with being named to the All-ACC Freshman Team.
Sophomore Mikey Lopez and Boyd Okwuonu were the only underclassmen to earn All-ACC First Team honors as Lopez was pegged for the midfield and Okwuonu for the defense.
Lopez has been responsible for two goals and an assist from his midfield location and has helped propel Carolina's possession style of play.
Okwuonu has anchored the top defense in the country as he and the Tar Heel backline have posted a 0.22 goals against average.
The Tar Heels placed three members on the All-ACC Second Team led by the nation's goals against leader in goalkeeper Scott Goodwin. It is the second straight All-ACC honor for Goodwin who has posted 14 shutouts in 2012, tied for the nation's lead.
Junior forward Andy Craven was selected for the second team as he leads the Tar Heels with six goals and 17 points thanks to five assists.
Garcia joins Goodwin and Craven on the second team after finding the back of the net four times, including three straight games, and leads UNC with six assists.
The All-ACC Freshman Team features a pair of Tar Heels for the second straight year as Garcia is joined by defender Jonathan Campbell. The Greensboro, N.C., native has started all 18 games at center back for a Tar Heel defense that has surrendered just four goals.
Maryland's Patrick Mullins was named the ACC Offensive Player of the Year and Duke's Sebastien Ibeagha was named the Defensive Player of the Year. The Terps head coach Sasho Cirovski was named the Coach of the Year.

WILTSHIRE Police has defended its use of Twitter following criticism by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Constabulary Tom Winsor.
During a meeting of the public administration select committee, Mr Winsor suggested that officers using social media should be doing something more productive than updating the community of their work on websites such as Twitter or Facebook.
He said: "Those who participate in social media and blogs and so on are people who've got time on their hands."
Inspector Lisette Harvey, sector commander for Trow-bridge and Bradford on Avon, said that Twitter is a useful way of connecting with the public and keeping them informed of their operations.
She said: "It is a fantastic resource and only takes 20 seconds to give out crime prevention messages, updates on police activities and road closures which all aid the public.
"Tom Winsor said that we must have time on our hands to use Twitter but the vast majority of my tweets are done off-duty, at the start of the working day or if I arrive early for meetings."
Insp Harvey cited a Twitter appeal warning the community about Allan Campbell, 39, of no fixed abode, who broke into narrowboats along the Kennet and Avon Canal. In October, he was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in jail.
Insp Harvey said: "The warning and a picture of him got sent across the country and this rapid communication is invaluable."
A lawyer by profession, Mr Winsor was appointed as Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Constabulary in October 2012. He is the first holder of that role to come from a non-policing background.
Insp Harvey and her two sergeants Jim Suter and James Brain based at Trow-bridge Police Station have more than 1,500 followers between them.
The officers' accounts are @LisetteHarvey, @SgtJimSuter and @Sgt2517Brain, if anyone would like to follow them on Twitter.
