For several memorable NHL seasons, Alexei Yashin starred in the Canadian capital, dazzling with his scoring prowess and creating playoff excitement in Ottawa before the Russian forward's high-profile contract disputes saw him stripped of his captaincy and eventually traded to the New York Islanders.
But on Tuesday, Yashin, who once provoked relentless booing in the city as a player, wasn't keeping a low profile in a press box or a far corner of the Nepean Sportsplex. He sat in the heart of the stands among a smattering of fans waving Russian flags, dressed in a black toque and petty coat like a dad at a rink on a Saturday morning.
Now 39, he's back in town on an entirely different hockey mission, serving as general manager of the Russian women's hockey team in the world championship. He's lending his experience and influence to a team that lost all of its games at last year's worlds and was under-supported back home. But now, Russia is aiming high for a medal. Not just at the world championship, but at the 2014 Olympics too, when it plays host to the world in Sochi.
"We have way more coverage now in Russia, and people say it's because of my name – I hope it helps," said Yashin after Russia's 4-0 win over Germany on Tuesday. "The people I talk to want to help with attention, money, experience, so I can be the link to connect women's hockey with the people who are very powerful and want to support Russian sport. Not only financial support, but support for the image. We want the same attention as the men's team. Hockey is very popular in Russia, but girls' hockey not as much. But we represent our country at the Olympics, too."
The small Nepean rink was half full on Tuesday for the Group B contest, spotted mostly with pockets of gleeful school kids. Yashin was the first on his feet to cheer his team's first goal. He sat shoulder-to-shoulder with his long-time partner, American model Carol Alt. Fans approached the couple politely between intermissions, looking for autographs and photos. Their fascination with him continues.
Yashin was the first draft pick for the expansion Senators back in 1992, and the 6-foot-3, 230-pound high-scoring centre quickly became a bright young star in the NHL, a household name in Ottawa and key to the team's playoff experiences.
But his later years in Ottawa were full of contract disputes and holdouts. Then a big donation he promised to the city's National Arts Centre went awry, and Ottawa's fans soured on him. He requested a trade and was shipped to the Islanders in 2001, where he played until 2007. After that, he touched down in Russia's KHL. He hasn't played a pro season since 2011-12.
"It was tough to watch today in my first game not on the ice," Yashin said. "I enjoyed it. It's been very good, but very different from when I played and I had all the pressure on me to perform. Now, the best I can do is cheer and hope for the best. I really enjoy seeing these girls give everything they have."
Yashin also sat with 1998 Canadian Olympic coach Shannon Miller, who earned an Olympic silver medal at the Nagano Olympics and has since won five National Collegiate Athletic Association titles as the women's hockey coach at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. The former NHLer admits he didn't know much about the women's game before being hired back in December, and he and Miller exchanged notes during the game. Miller is mentoring the Russian staff – mostly males with strong experience in men's hockey – about creating female hockey champions.
The Russian women last earned a medal in 2001 – bronze at the world championship. They are in Group B with Germany, Sweden and Czech Republic, so they won't face the top teams unless they advance out of the group. The women's game is still dominated by Canada and the U.S., and Yashin wants his team to play more North American competition before Sochi. Miller has invited them for a two-week training camp at UMD and to play exhibition games against top U.S. college teams.
Yashin says he has a passion for Russian hockey, having played in the 1996 and 2004 World Cups of Hockey, the 1998, 2002 and 2006 Winter Olympics, and six world championships, picking up two Olympic medals and two world medals along the way. While it's not typical for a general manager, Yashin practises with the Russian women, helping especially with their shooting. He joked that if Mario Lemieux could skate with his players as GM of the Pittsburgh Penguins, so can he.
"He goes on the ice in practice with the women, and he's so good and so big, that when he says to try something, they do it without hesitation," Miller said. "They are almost scared of him they respect him so much. Coaching and playing are so different, and he contributes something so different from what I can provide or what Russia's coaches provide. The players adore him and find it incredible to be on the ice with him. They have improved leaps and bounds since last year's tournament."
Miller observed that Russia struggled with fitness and nutrition. Some of its players actually smoked. They got a new coaching staff since last year and hired Yashin, who has helped secure more resources.
"When people see his name around women's hockey, they turn their heads and want to see what's going on with us," said Russian forward Iya Gavrilova, who referred to Yashin as "the big man."
"The financial support improved, we got a fitness coach coming in next year, a goalie coach with us at worlds, more medical support, better conditioning. I think it's paying off."
Asked what it's like to be back in Ottawa this week, in a different role, Yashin took the question with ease but kept his answer brief and polite.
"I spent eight years here playing hockey, and a lot happened here," he said. "My mom and dad still live here, so I have taken some time to spend with them. It's been a great trip so far."Report Typo/Error

Sour foods really appealed to Alex Hozven as she battled brutal pregnancy-induced nausea with her first son.
Nothing unusual there, right? Millions of women crave pickles to combat morning (or all-day) sickness. But Hozven's obsession with fermented foods didn't end once her baby was born.
Instead, she set out to master making naturally fermented foods (no vinegar, water, or heat) like sauerkraut, kim chee, and kombucha with a locavore sensibility and seasonal twist – and built a thriving business that now supports a family of four.
Self-taught Hozven and her husband, Kevin Farley, run Cultured Pickle Shop, a small store in West Berkeley dedicated to preserving pickling traditions from around the globe, though the two profess to a particular fondness for Japanese methods…

Time out. New competition from the city of San Diego has prompted Escondido officials to suspend their pursuit of a stadium deal that could have brought the Chargers to inland North County.
The perceived viability of a newly proposed stadium site just east of Petco Park in downtown San Diego has persuaded Escondido officials to end several months of negotiations with Chargers officials and private developers who could help finance a stadium, Escondido Mayor Lori Holt Pfeiler said Tuesday.
But Pfeiler and a local attorney spearheading Escondido's stadium efforts said the city would resume its campaign for a stadium, which would be built just southeast of where Interstate 15 intersects Highway 78, if significant problems arise with the site near Petco.
Pfeiler said the decision to end negotiations was based primarily on two concerns: a strong desire not to compete against San Diego, and concerns about wasting time and money on a proposal that might go nowhere.
"We don't want to be adversarial in any way," Pfeiler said, explaining that Escondido's No. 1 goal has always been to find a way to keep the Chargers somewhere within the county.
"And we also don't want to be spinning our wheels and hiring consultants," she said.
Growing momentum behind a stadium project in the City of Industry this fall fueled speculation that the Chargers will leave the county unless an appealing stadium deal emerges soon.
Since announcing several years ago that they planned to leave outdated Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley for a modern stadium, the Chargers have explored sites in San Diego, Oceanside, Chula Vista, National City and Escondido.
But no proposal has gotten past the discussion stages.
Mark Fabiani, general counsel for the Chargers, said he was neither pleased nor disappointed by Escondido's decision, and that he understood the city's concerns.
"If we were in their shoes, we'd like to see if the city of San Diego's idea will work out," Fabiani said. "I'm not sure if they're making a good move or not because I don't have a crystal ball, but I certainly understand their position."
Escondido officials began contemplating a halt to their efforts last week, after Fabiani told them that San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders had pitched the site near Petco to team officials in a private meeting, Fabiani said.
Dave Ferguson, the attorney spearheading Escondido's stadium efforts, said Fabiani essentially told him that the Chargers needed to thoroughly explore the site near Petco before getting more serious about anything in Escondido.
The site near Petco, which includes Tailgate Park and a bus yard, is appealing to the Chargers because the team could use parking structures built for Petco and because virtually all the necessary infrastructure is in place, Fabiani said.
In contrast, a stadium in Escondido would require building several parking garages and might require significant upgrades to roads and freeway ramps.
But Fabiani cautioned against being too optimistic about the newly proposed downtown site, which, at 15 acres, is far smaller than the 60 acres that Escondido officials have promised the team.
"Our architects have said it's very tight," Fabiani said. "And you've still got to privately raise several hundred million dollars."
Fabiani said exploring the new downtown site "shouldn't take more than a few months," so Escondido could be in a position to revive its pursuit of a stadium early next year.
Ferguson said the suspension comes at an appropriate time, explaining that he recently finished analyzing the geographic and transportation hurdles facing the Escondido site.
If Escondido officials jump back into the fray, Ferguson said, their next steps would be to select a master developer with help from the Chargers, and then to start buying about 50 contiguous properties needed for a 60-acre stadium complex.
While Escondido has not been eliminated, Pfeiler, Ferguson and Fabiani all agreed that the hiatus will cost the city much of the momentum it had gained since the stadium proposal became public this summer.
Harvey Mitchell, chief executive of the Escondido Chamber of Commerce, said news of the suspension was deflating for the local business community.
"It would have been a game-changer for Escondido, and a great thing," Mitchell said. "I think it was the right move, because the Petco site does make sense. But I know the business community here was really excited."

Most honorable Theophilus: Many people have written accounts about the events that took place F1 among us. They used as their source material the reports circulating among us from the early disciples and other eyewitnesses of what God has done in fulfillment of his promises. Having carefully investigated all of these accounts from the beginning, I have decided to write a careful summary for you, to reassure you of the truth of all you were taught. (Luke 1:1-4)
You likely know the name Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He was a Christian theologian whose writings became influential throughout the Protestant world in the mid-twentieth century. Among his many books, Life Together and The Cost of Discipleship are my personal favorites. Both are widely thought of as classics of modern Christian literature.
It was Bonhoeffers fate to be a Christian in Germany during the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. The ethical principles he embraced and taught as a follower of Jesus Christ led him to be an outspoken critic of both. He affirmed that obedience to Christs command to love ones neighbors made it impossible for the same person to be anti-Semitic and a propagator of hatred.
Bonhoeffer became a prominent leader in what came to be called the Confessing Church, a Protestant movement in Germany that was born the same year that Hitler came to power, 1933. The Confessing Church systematically opposed the German Christian Church a Nazi-backed church that collaborated with Hitlers evil theories, statements, and actions.
Bonhoeffer went so far in his opposition to Nazism that he was involved in the unsuccessful plot to assassinate Hitler in 1944. He was imprisoned. Then, shortly before the end of World War II, he was hanged by the Nazis.
Eberhard Bethge died on March 18, 2000, in a suburb of Bonn. Even his obituary in the New York Times featured more data about Bonhoeffer than him. Though a theologian himself who taught with his more famous friend at an underground anti-Nazi seminary and suffered imprisonment at the hands of the Nazis, his most significant work was to be a biographer. His great achievement was not to become widely known himself but to make someone else famous. His quiet-by-comparison achievements have been very significant.
As I read his obituary, the thought occurred to me that Jesus needs more biographers. He needs people who are willing to tell his story without calling undue attention to themselves. Evangelism is telling the story of Jesus so compellingly that it draws others to him and attracts them to follow him.
Without Plato, we would know little about Socrates. Apart from Bethge, the life of Bonhoeffer would not be so well-known. Without you, someone may never know about Jesus.

Brazilian Bland
Brazil 1-0 Croatia God. Before the match, the BBC took a good half an hour that could have been used up with public information films eulogising Brazil. This was, if you believed Gary Lineker, the greatest team ever to play football. It wasn't a question of whether they would win the World Cup, it was a matter of how easy it would be for them. Alan Hansen, Leonardo & Ian Wright dutifully lined up to pay tribute to them, and then we were off to the stadium. Any hopes that it would improve lasted about 15 seconds. You could almost hear the bubble of drool forming in the corner of Mark Lawrenson's mouth. Try not to dwell on that mental image for too long. Meanwhile, John Motson was running out of superlatives. It was a sickly-sweet Brazil fest. They could do nothing wrong. And then… …Nothing. No inspiration whatsoever. Ronaldinho looked utterly isolated on the left. Ronaldo… christ. More on him later. They had no shape, were playing the match practically at walking pace, and treating it more like another exhibition match (although this is perhaps unsurprising, given that the only matches they've played in the last three or four months or so have been against amateur club sides and New Zealand). Fortunately for them, Croatia seemed largely unconcerned by this. Their tactic seemed to be pass the ball...Read More

I used to freak out if I didn't fill at least two meals a day with vegetables. Now, there are some days I don't eat anything green, and you know what? That's okay as I get plenty of nutrients and vitamins from other foods I eat like meat & eggs, and did you know that fats like butter helps the body absorb calcium and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K? That being said, there are days when I crave veggies like crazy, yesterday being one of them..
For lunch I made more basil carrots with 1/2 an onion and ate what remained of the Nutty Lemon Brussels. I rarely eat cheese, but Chris loves the Kerrygold brand, and we've been buying it at Costco. I've been nibbling on it here and there. Cheese is really good, especially when melted over veggies. 🙂
For dinner last night, I made one of my favorite combos…
First I sautéed 1/4 lb. of grass fed finished beef with 1/2 an onion until cooked through. I then stirred in some spinach and sauerkraut. After the spinach cooked down, I added a few TBSP of tomato paste mixed with a heaping spoonful of sour cream and water to thin. Yum.
Summer had her first green experience…she was not a huge fan.
Yuck mom. Where did those buttery carrots go? 😉

Man City 0 Dynamo Kiev 0 (3-1 agg): Kompany injured as City reach quarter-finals
In fact, on this evidence those left in the competition will be keeping their fingers crossed they land Manuel Pellegrini's men when the draw is made on Friday.
This was a historic night at the Etihad – and also one to forget.
With the hard work done in the Ukraine last month, Pellegrini's outfit just went through the motions.
This was a triumph of substance over style as the Premier League giants protected their 3-1 lead from the first leg and never looked like snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
That's because Dynamo Kiev showed just as little ambition as their hosts, despite the onus being on them to provide some entertainment and goals.
Little wonder the travelling journalists from Eastern Europe turned to drink and decided to demolish the contents of the beer fridge in the Press room.
Pellegrini and his stars will await new opponents in the last eight with a mixture of excitement and trepidation.
It remains to be seen who comes out of the hat, but one thing is for sure, City will have to produce football much better than this to keep their Champions League dream alive.

No Akin questions, please (Updated)
The Obama campaign blasts out this clip at the end of Mitt Romney's interview with a CBS News affiliate in Denver:
Reporter Shaun Boyd: "You know, I had about five minutes with him, and we got through a fair amount of material, actually, in that five minutes. The one stipulation to the interview was that I not ask him about abortion or Todd Akin – he's the Missouri Republican who created a firestorm after saying women's shut down in a legitimate rape to prevent pregnancy. I did ask him about health care, the female vote, and energy."
I've asked the Romney campaign for comment, and it's worth noting the reporter agreed to the conditions. Nonetheless, the guarded approach Romney has had with media — and with which interviews the campaign agrees to — has been a narrative throughout the campaign.
UPDATE: A Romney spokesperson responded, "This is not how we operate. The matter is being addressed."
The spokesperson pointed out that the Obama team is not exactly innocent of either setting limits on questions in some interviews, or editing pool reports, including on Joe Biden's recent campaign swing. Most accounts of what happened don't suggest this interview was different than what both campaigns do at different points - it's just that in this case, the TV interview provided Chicago fodder on Akin, the topic of the week.

As the fans stood or craned their necks to get a better look, Adam Sasser made his way to first base.
He just about caught up with the runner ahead of him when he saw the good news: He had hit a home run.
Sasser's three-run blast proved to be the difference as Greenbrier won at home against Lakeside, 4-1, on Tuesday evening in a Region 2-AAAAA semifinal game. The Wolfpack will play at home against Evans on Thursday for the region championship.
Former Grovetown and Evans standout Myles McDavid was a tremendous athlete throughout his prep career, excelling in football, basketball and track.
He was an All-County and All-Region performer in each sport and his athleticism drew plenty of college interest.
Track and field is the sport in which McDavid garnered the most attention, and in the end he accepted a scholarship to Georgia Tech as a long jump and triple jump specialist.
When Lakeside girls lacrosse goalie Savannah Jane Duncan stopped the eighth shot attempt by Southwest DeKalb on Monday during the Lady Panthers' 19-7 win, the game was halted briefly.
The ball was taken out of play and Duncan was recognized for making save No. 400 with the Lady Panthers – not that she had much time to celebrate.

The Greenbrier girls tennis team extended their season Wednesday afternoon while the boys saw theirs come to a close.
Both were playing host as No. 2 seeds in the opening round of the GHSA Class AAAAA state tennis tournament. The Lady Wolfpack dispatched Northside-Columbus quickly 3-0, while the boys went down 3-0 to Harris County, albeit with a fight.
Greenbrier coach Stefanie Basinger was sad to see the boys' season end when No. 2 singles Holden Ashley lost his match, 6-4, 3-6, 3-6.
This week has made me feel like I'm in the movie Scanners – with all that has been going on, I anticipate my head may explode.
First, a big congratulations to Augusta Prep's Brooke Stevens.
The senior entered her final tennis postseason as the four-time Georgia Independent School Association Region 4-AAA individual champion and four-time GISA individual state champion.
Now make that five on both counts.
The waiting was the hardest part.
With their opening-round match of the GHSA Class AAAAA state tennis tournament scheduled for 3 p.m., the Lakeside High School boys didn't take the court until 5 p.m. against Carver-Columbus, Tuesday afternoon.
From that point, it took the No. 1 seed Panthers (17-0) under an hour to dispatch the Tigers (6-7), 5-0.
The scores didn't necessarily reflect the step up in play that the Panthers faced Tuesday, with all but one match going 6-0, 6-0. Panthers' coach Dave Pitock thought the Tigers put forth a good effort against his squad.
For Greenbrier senior center-back Raven Rose, Tuesday night was three years in the making.
In her four years with the Lady Wolfpack soccer squad, the team has lost two region championship games and won two, including their 2-0 win over rival Evans at Blanchard Woods Park for the Region 2-AAAAA title on Tuesday.
At the Georgia Independent School Association Region 4-AAA Track and Field Championships, the team finishes for Augusta Prep were about what coach Tom Holodak expected.
The Lady Cavaliers finished second with 121 points behind Gatewood (243) while the boys' squad (86) was fourth.
"We knew the girls had an outside chance for second and we had that solid," said Holodak. "There were five (boys) events we didn't have people in. That's what kind of hurt us today."
Aiken-Augusta Swim League and Evans High School swimmer Nathan Rogers was able to officially blow off some steam Friday afternoon at the Augusta Aquatic Center.
With his family and teammates in attendance, Rogers signed to swim for Division I Brigham Young University (Provo, Utah).
Daniel Dickerson and Myles Duncan put the exclamation point on No. 1 seed Greenbrier's Region 2-AAAAA soccer tournament semifinal win early in the second half.
Dickerson's attempt from 15 yards out got by a sprawling Academy of Richmond County keeper and Duncan was there to tap it in for his second goal of the night with 57 seconds gone in the half, giving the Wolfpack (16-0-1) a 4-0 advantage. They went on to the 6-1 win.
"I love serving the ball in because I know at least three players are going to be there," said Dickerson.

The prosecutor admitted that he can't keep the charges of sabotage."The men were arrested in Mozambique in April as they dumped a substance into the reservoir that feeds the Cahora Bassa dam, one of Africa's largest hydroelectric projects and a major power source for southern Africa.Authorities accused the men - a South Africa, a Botswanan, a German and a Portuguese - of putting harmful chemicals in the water to corrode the dam's structure, O Pais newspaper reported.However, the men said they were not saboteurs but members of a group called Orgonise Africa, a new-age movement whose goal is to improve the continent's spiritual energy by disseminating a substance called orgonite, the report said.After sending the substance to laboratories in Mozambique, South Africa and Brazil, Mozambican authorities were unable to prove otherwise, according to O Pais.The newspaper quoted the prosecutor's office as saying the results of the testing led to the decision to release the four.According to Don Croft, one of the founders of the movement, orgonite is a homemade mixture of resin, crystals and metal shavings and possesses a positive energy that facilitates environmental healing.In an e-mail message, Croft called the group's work "essentially harmless", and said: "The only crimes we conceivably commit could sometimes be called 'littering'."

The "Smunday" Holiday is nearing. In a recent press release, Nicole Kulwicki, head of the Heinz brand shared a cause that the company will support for this year's Super Bowl. Yes, they will be promoting the "Smunday" Holiday revolution. This movement was highlighted in an online add that Heinz rolled out yesterday, January 25, in which they promoted a holiday for Monday, February 6, after the Super Bowl.
Instead of buying those expensive Super Bowl ads this year, they will be giving their salaried employees the day off for some rest and relaxation. Super Bowl ad time costs millions for companies that put their brand in front of the largest viewed event of the year. Kraft Heinz made the decision this year to give that back to their employees in the form of time off.
This gesture is actually bigger than just giving their employees a day off. It is a movement that Heinz is promoting. The company started a Change.org petition to make "Smunday", or the Monday after the Super Bowl, a national holiday. If they get 100,000 people to sign the petition they have promised to send it to Congress. The hope is that this gesture will result in good public relations with their employees as well as consumers.
This movement will actually be a win win situation for the companies and employees. Companies lose billions of dollars due to a decline in productivity and absenteeism on this day. So, why not make it a national holiday so that everyone gets a little perk.
I realize that in a factory it is hard to shut down production, and I understand why this can't logistically apply to the factory workers. But I think it would be a great gesture for Heinz to come up with a plan to include the factory workers in this "Smunday" holiday. Vouchers for comp time to be used on another day would be a great start, thus avoiding a complete shutdown of production.
Even with the above mentioned possible improvement, I say bravo to Heinz for thinking about their employees rather than their bottom line. It's good to see companies think about their employees. Maybe we'll see other big companies follow Heinz's lead.

|Richard Smiley from Chicago, IL asks:
Kary — Thanks for doing the chat. How does this year's AFL crop stack up in comparison to those of the past few years?
Kary Booher: Everybody up and ready? We'll try to get to as many questions as possible, but a pre-emptive apology if there is a slight delay in the middle of today's chat. We're trying to track down the package in the Khalil Greene trade to the Padres. The St. Louis paper is reporting that its' two minor league pitchers that weren't on the active roster at the end of last season. That leaves open several possibilities. Mitchell Boggs wasn't called back up in September after a midseason audition, but he could fit the Padres needs if and when they do part with Peavy. No way they would part with Clayton Mortensen, their 07 first-round supplemental pick out of Gonzaga. He reached Triple-A by the second week of June this past season and could be valuable if Carpenter is a no-go and the rotation remains in flux. Anyway, let's get on with the chat ...
Kary Booher: Thanks for writing from Chicago. I probably should offer a disclaimer on this year's Arizona Fall League list. It was my first swing through the circuit, as BA brought me on board in late July to fill the role of since-departed Chris Kline (save your applause). But what I gathered was that this year's crop of talent in the AFL was pretty well-balanced, deep in hitting and pretty nice in an array of arms. Four 2008 first-round picks appeared on our Top 20 list, and two of the biggest stories in the minors this year—Matt Wieters and Tommy Hanson-parlayed their success into productive time in Arizona. The list was fun to funnel from a large batch of possibilities, and I'll admit that a few guys who could've been on the list had to be left off. So if you don't see one of your organization's key names, it may not have been any fault of his own.
|Robert from San Francisco, CA asks:
What is Bud Norris' ETA in Houston? It seems like he could have a more immediate impact as a reliever but if he can throw 3 pitches will he have more value as a starter? Thanks.
Kary Booher: A couple of questions popped into this chat about Norris, who reached the Top 10 on this list because several scouts thought he had the best and most exciting stuff after you talked about Tommy Hanson and Brian Matusz. Thing is, we could see Norris in Houston early next year, especially if they don't know exactly-or are too cautious about—the health of Felipe Paulino's shoulder. Norris missed two months this year because of an elbow strain, then was eased back at Double-A Corpus Christi. He still showed enough to wow scouts, tinkering with a changeup late in the season. When he was in Arizona, he had the sizzle back on his fastball and that alone had scouts sensing he could be a back-of-the-bullpen kind of guy. But it's the Astros, who need a lot of help, and Norris could be valuable in the rotation immediately. His slider breaks down and away, and that will keep him in the majors. Short term, I say he's a starter now. But I'd like to see how he fares his second time through the NL Central.
|Keith from Fort Dix NJ asks:
What do you think Astros will do with Bud Norris? Thanks
Kary Booher: One more thing on Norris that I didn't mention on the prior question. He's listed as a 6-foot righthander, so his downward plane isn't as great as others. That could be a factor if he is stays in the rotation. If he can keep pounding the zone, yes. But when his stuff flattens out, he's hittable and, in Minute Maid Park, well, you know how that can be.
|David Bowen from Potsdam, NY asks:
What? NO love for the Dodgers? Were either Lambo or DeJesus close to the Top 20? How would you rate them?
Kary Booher: Man, this is a tough crowd today. Accusations of no love for the Dodgers or the Brewers' Lorenzo Cain already. Fun stuff. In speaking with a number of scouts, no one singled out Lambo, so I took that as a sign that he was in that after-20 pack of a really good, not great guys. But DeJesus did get consideration for the back half of the list, falling out because he didn't hit enough and did commit nine errors, one that saw on a routine play in which he lolly-gagged scooped it and then threw the ball into the dugout. Scouts liked his range and think he'll be in the majors. I docked him a little for that and, with Eric Young Jr. surging at the end, I left No. 20 open for the taking. So Young snagged it.
|Sean from Norwich, CT asks:
Andrew Carignan only gave up runs (2) in 1 of 12 outings in the AFL and struck out 18 in 12 ip. I know relievers don't get much love on these lists, but did he get consideration for the Top 20? When do you see him being in the A's pen?
Kary Booher: Carignan was another guy that I strongly considered before other guys nudged him out. If you're an A's fan, you'll like him. I had the opportunity to see him this year in the Texas League, and his stuff was so good at the TL All-Star Game that it was one of those next-day sidebars I would have written about had Double-A Springfield not been playing. He should be valuable in Oakland's pen by the end of the year. I think part of it will come down to whether Ziegler has an encore performance and Gray is reliable as he's advertised himself to be in the past year or so.
|joshua from yulee fl asks:
what is the potential of logan morrison also when do you think he will reach the majors, is it out of the question he gets invited to spring training with the marlins also what is the potential of scott cousins thank you.
Kary Booher: Here at BA, when you talk first base prospects, some come down on the side of the Giants' Lars Anderson and others think a lot of Logan Morrison. I haven't seen Anderson, so I can't speak about him as much. But in Morrison, the Marlins obviously have something special. I like his background—he came from Maple Woods CC in suburban Kansas City, the same juco from which the great Albert Pujols was drafted. He's going to provide a lot of power, very nice for a lefthanded hitter, and could challenge for Florida's big-league job this spring now that Jacobs was traded to KC. As for Scott Cousins, some scouts liked him, some didn't. The ones that didn't saw his crazy routes to the ball and questioned his power. The ones that liked him will point out that his power was diminished while playing at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Fla., and if you've ever been there, you'll understand why. I remember asking the Cardinals this year about Daryl Jones and why he wasn't showing better power numbers, and that was one of the first things they pointed out. And he played in the same ballpark. With Cousins, though, I'd like to see him in Double-A, but I think Morrison will make it and stick.
|ScottAZ from Phx, AZ asks:
Why move E. Young to CF when you have Fowler set to patrol there for the next decade? Are they planning on having him play multiple positions ala Chone Figgins? Or does he really not have a place in the organization?
Kary Booher: The Rockies placed Young on their 40-man roster, a great sign for him that Colorado sees him more than a mere utility man. They had him in CF just to gauge how well he might fare there. To me Young could be the Rockies' version of Chone Figgins. He's blocked in the middle infield, he doesn't hit for enough power at third but is athletic enough to spot up for Fowler on his days off. He may not have the appeal of being the star at one position, but you can win with a guy like Young on your team.
|Timmy L. from San Francisco asks:
Did Kevin Pucetas get any consideration for the top 20? If he is in the Giants rotation as the #5 starter, what do you project out of him?
Kary Booher: Pucetas could have made this list if not for others that had slightly better AFL stints, and I'm talking about guys like Jeff Manship, who ranked No. 19 on this year's list. Pucetas' Scottsdale manager, Shane Turner, who also is the Giants' field coordinator, did a lot of politicking for Pucetas, talking up the fact the guy knows how to win. He's 32-7, 2.35 with 266 strikeouts in 341 innings since coming into pro ball as a 17th-rounder out of Limestone College, whose baseball program, Pucetas poined out, was given a huge boost from former big-leaguer Gaylord Perry. The one night I saw Pucetas, he was busting guys inside and controlling the game. And when he walked off, he had this presence about him that really stood out. It wasn't lost on scouts in attendance that night, either. I think he could be serviceable as that No. 5, if not a No. 4 if he works his way into that role.
|Doug from Brooklyn asks:
Let me get this question out of the way early for you- where would Hughes and Buchholz reside on the top 20 if they were eligible?
Kary Booher: They would have been right up there. The night I hoped to see Hughes, he was pushed back to the following week because of a finger nail problem. Buchholz had an encouraging performance, his last start in the AFL I believe, and one scout liked the way he showed much more confidence in throwing his fastball. Some guys who had no business making solid contact against him were getting good rips against him, but you could tell he was more concerned with commanding his fastball again than getting hit.
|christian from palm beach asks:
It looks like Adam Ottavino had a tough time, but he did have three scoreless outings and did strike out more than a batter per inning. Did scouts have anything to say about him that was positive?
Kary Booher: Ottavino was a guy I covered this year at Double-A Springfield. The knock on him is that he seems to always be going through the motions without any sense of urgency. The Cardinals say they did see improvements out of him in the AFL, with 25 strikeouts and 10 walks in 23.1 innings. He got knocked around in his other appearances pretty soundly. It's hard to know what to make of him, though. Early in the year, he had some nice stuff but bottomed out to the point that the Cardinals shut him down, brought in Buddy Biancalana to re-motivate him and get him on the right track. That next start, he was dominating. But he never could quite sustain it. Some scouts simply do not like him. A few, and you might have a hard time finding them, might still be holding out hope that he can be a big-league starter.
|Steven M from NY asks:
What's the chances of Brian Matusz starting for the Oriols this year?
Kary Booher: I think probably slim and none, all because there is no need to rush him. The Orioles are rebuilding and have a chance to do their franchise right finally with Andy MacPhail now sitting in the president's chair and wheeling and dealing as their GM. His job is more than to just bring in talent. It's also to change the culture of the clubhouse after years of that ship sailing aimlessly in the AL East. I think that starts with Markakis and Jones, and Wieters will eventually become that franchise's big face. There is no need to bring Matusz into the fold just yet. Let him get his feet wet in the minors, much like Wieters did this past year. But even then, two years in the minors wouldn't be bad for Matusz or the Orioles for that matter. You're talking a guy who could be in a rotation with Chris Tillman and Jake Arietta. That would be something.
|Scott from Longview, WA asks:
How close was Greg Halman to making the list? What kept him off?
Kary Booher: Halman is a difficult guy to rank, just ask our guy here (who shall remain nameless, to protect the innocent) compiling the Mariners' Top 30 prospects. He's got the athleticism and at times the bat. But scouts sort of passed over him when I mentioned his name. While he had a pretty nice regular season, scouts saw an impatient and sometimes-fooled hitter (he struck out 37 times against 10 walks in 83 at-bats). It's hard to say it was a completely lost AFL for Halman, who was also asked to take on more of a leadership role by taking 18-year-old Carlos Triunfel under his wing. The Mariners were pleased with him chaparoning him.
|Mitchell from NYC asks:
Not 1 Yankee prospect in the Top 20?? Was any even considered??
Kary Booher: The sky isn't falling, my NYC friend. Go to the pizza joint on 136th street in Spanish Harlem, maybe hit Vincent's for a great Italian meal in Little Italy, enjoy the tree at Rockefeller Center. But there is no need to get your blood pressure up, or no need to think that no Yankee on the list equals an automatic ominous sign. Some scouts did like Austin Jackson, a guy I considered but slipped down the list in order to get Borbon and other outfielders on our Top 20. One scout I spoke with liked the balance in his swing and his athleticism. It was just a matter of, where do you put him in a list like this? I think you'll breathe easier once our Hawaii Winter Baseball list comes out. Brackman, the Yankees' 2007 first-rounder out of NC State, had a very encouraging time there.
|JAYPERS from IL asks:
Its pure speculation, but do you think if Hanson hadn't dominated the AFL, the Braves might have reconsidered trading him in a potential deal for Peavy?
Kary Booher: That's a pretty interesting question. But I'd have to say that the Braves went into the fall league having already placed Hanson on the "untouchables" list after the year he had. There was already a lot of buzz about him by the end of the season, from us here at BA and elsewhere, as he showed he could be a huge arm in a starting rotation. They may have considered it, but I think some within the organization, especially those who coached him this year, would have encouraged the Braves not to make that kind of move. He's a guy that can usher in a new era, a guy you can build around, and they'll need that now that their rotation is being reconstructed and Chipper Jones is not far from the twilight of his career.
|Kyle from Middletown asks:
Do you think that Stubbs will be in the top 100 again after the improvements he made this year (except for the fall league)? Do you think that he can still be a Mike Cameron kind of player in the big leagues?
Kary Booher: Not sure if he'll be in the Top 100 again, as we'll have a new batch of guys to consider along with last year's crop. But who knows? Stubbs still is among the Reds top prospects, and it's safe to envision him as a Mike Cameron type at this point even though he didn't show as much power as people would have liked. One thing about the AFL is that, when guys don't have good showings, you can't always look at the numbers. Not only is it a small sample size, but scouts say that a lot of players look a fatigued and are just battling through it. No surprise there. The casual fan assumes these guys show up the first week of April when the reality is that they work out year-round, then go from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day at spring training. So I'm not defending Stubbs here so much as kind of theorizing that his lack of production in the AFL wasn't solely on one factor, i.e. the pitching.
|Joseph from Fort Worth, TX asks:
Thanks for the chat Kary. As far as the Ranger prospects on this list, how far do you think Smoak and Borbon are from contributing in Arlington. I was very impressed with Smoak's plate discipline. Do you think Bakersfield for Smoak and OKC for Borbon as starting points next year? Thanks again.
Kary Booher: This would be a good question when the Rangers' Top 10 comes online, but I think Smoak will open in Bakersfield but Borbon goes back to Double-A Frisco. But I wouldn't be surprised if Smoak opened in Double-A as well. With that bat, why not? The Cardinals showed that it wasn't a stretch to send Brett Wallace to the TL late in the year, and I think Smoak would handle it. As for Borbon, he could benefit with another half-season in Frisco. His routes to the ball need polishing, and Triple-A is really no place to learn on the fly.
|Jerry from Tulsa,Oklahoma asks:
Do you think Triunfel projects as a better hitter/slugger than Smoak, Wallace and G. Beckham in the future? I cant see him being ranked higher than these three players as far as a future impact player..
Kary Booher: Good to hear from the frontier plains, and from Tulsa, where it looks like they are going to get their new ballpark built despite the tough economy. The Tulsa World had an insightful story on it in the paper Tuesday morning. As for Triunfel, I think Smoak and Wallace will hit for more power, with Beckham probably a little more as well. But he gets the nod because he was 18 and holding his own in the AFL, where guys are mostly 21-24. And I know when somebody says, "holding his own," it sounds like a throwaway line. But the truth is, he was doing just that. The night I saw him play, he made three very impressive plays. One was a nine-pitch at-bat with his team down 3-0 in the eighth, and he ended up singling by squeezing a ball just inside the first-base bag and down the line. Playing third, he also bare-handed a ball in the grass and made a strong throw, then later made a nifty stop on a ball to his right, executing a perfect drop step with his left foot (young shortstops playing the spot might have charged in on it or stabbed at it). The power will always be a question with him until he actually shows it. But he's already got the body of a 24-year-old and could show the power as he gets older. Will it be more than Smoak? Tough to stay because he's so young.
|JAYPERS from IL asks:
Did Wes Hodges get consideration for this list? What kept him off? His AFL numbers certainly weren't the reason.
Kary Booher: Hodges was one of the few bright spots on that Surprise team the first few weeks when it struggled, and their manager, Gary Allenson, did like his bat a lot. But Allenson, like many of the scouts, wondered about his third-base defense. Some of it was his arm strength. But he also looked like, at times, he had trouble getting his feet right on sharply hit grounders and didn't quite have the grace you need to play off the line.
|Todd from Chattanooga asks:
Would you rank Hanson above Heyward as the Braves top prospect? -also- What are your thoughts on Kris Medlen - could you see him as a serviceable setup man in Atlanta in the near future? Thanks
Kary Booher: I'm sure that will be debated internally here as we narrow down our Top 10 lists for each organization before the handbook goes to press. It's hard to argue with Hanson and what he did this year. I even thought about ranking him No. 1 on our AFL list, but gave way to Wieters because he had more of an impressive package (switch-hitting, very good catcher, lots of leadership). As for Medlen, you're right to think he could be a set-up man down the road. Did you catch my story on him back in August? You might Google it or do a search on our site. The Braves brought him out of the bullpen and into the rotation at Double-A Mississippi, where he really took off. He may not have the pitches to lock down a starting rotation slot in the majors, but he could be a valuable swing guy with potential eventually to work in a set-up role.
Kary Booher: Folks, thanks for writing in and I wish I could get to more questions. Unfortunately, other work is sitting here waiting for me on my desk. It's always nice to interact with the readers and fans because I'm one, too. Happy holidays and be careful out there.

North Texas is a car-loving region that's also home to the nation's longest light-rail network. And in the past week, Dallas has served as the epicenter for national discussions about how transportation solutions are devised and implemented.
A cadre of professors, architects, politicians and technology executives talked about how transportation works — or doesn't — in cities during last week's New Cities Summit and the ongoing U.S. Conference of Mayors.
And even though the country predominantly moves by automobile, many of the conversations focused on public transit and biking.
"The fact that we've given our soul to the car is nothing new," Alex Krieger, a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, said at the New Cities Summit. "What we need to do in this country is provide more choice."
Here's a look at some of the ideas, trends and challenges speakers addressed:
Bike lanes
The president of People for Bikes told a room full of the nation's mayors that biking increases when cities put up a physical barrier, instead of a painted line, between car and bike lanes. A report from Tim Blumenthal's organization found that property values in some cities are higher around bike trails. It also says biking promotes better health and that retail customers who bike to stores spend more per month than drivers.
"I'm not here to tell you how cities can help bike riders and bike riding," Blumenthal said. "I'm telling you how bike riders and bike riding can help cities."
Automated cars
Claire Hughes Johnson, the vice president for Google's self-driving car project, said automated vehicles could make driving safer. She said most accidents are caused by human error and that more than 33,000 Americans die in wrecks every year.
"That's the equivalent of a Boeing 737 going down every weekday," she said.
Johnson also told the mayors that automated cars would be safe enough to drive with much less distance between vehicles.
"We could actually use 30 percent more — at least — of our highways," she said.
Streetcar projects
Dallas is currently building a streetcar line from Union Station downtown to Methodist Dallas Medical Center in north Oak Cliff. The city plans to expand it to the Bishop Arts District and eventually hopes to tie it into the McKinney Avenue Trolley.
Portland Mayor Charlie Hales said a streetcar line helped remake his city's Pearl District, an old rail yard turned into a high-density neighborhood. He said street cars are about place-making.
"It's not a universal tool," Hales said. Street cars need to be used to benefit land along the lines, not " just to solve a congestion problem."
Federal funding
North Texas transportation projects routinely receive federal funds after regional officials secure some level of local funds for the work. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti told his counterparts during a transportation and communications committee meeting about the troubles of garnering federal dollars without a local match. He said Los Angeles started getting federal assistance once residents there approved a half-cent sales tax for transit projects.
"More and more, I think this is the model," Garcetti said.
Atlanta in the past decade has spent hundreds of millions of dollars expanding a streetcar line and turning an abandoned rail line into a park linking 45 neighborhoods. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed told his colleagues that the public projects have improved residents' quality of life and spurred more than $1 billion in private investments.
"All of these projects have helped Atlanta's economy to get off its knees," he said.
Effects on land use
A constant refrain during the New Cities Summit echoed a growing national call for transportation officials to consider land use and economic development potential when planning how to move people through cities. Experts and academicians repeatedly said more highway capacity isn't the answer and can actually hurt neighborhoods and cities.
"Mobility should not be the only variable," Krieger said.
Harold Madi, Toronto's urban design director, said ignoring how transportation infrastructure affects its surroundings has pulled urban areas apart for decades.
"It's been absolutely detrimental to cities," he said.

Fredrik Perman
Lead Creator & Innovator at The Product Farm
Raleigh, NC
Raleigh, NC
Thank you for taking the time to review my LinkedIn profile. My name is Fredrik Perman and I'm an Industrial Designer with 19 years of professional working experience. I consider myself to have a broad range of knowledge and expertise in the fields of design, product development and manufacturing. Born and raised in Sweden, I attended Tumba Graphics Centre School of Design, where I got a 3-year degree in Graphic Communication. After a very successful internship during my last year of design school, I started my career as an advanced photo retouch artist at a Stockholm advertising firm. From 1998-1999, I received a full scholarship by my employer at the time, to attend School of Communication Arts (now Living Arts College) in Raleigh, North Carolina. Here, I learned 3D computer arts and animation and was awarded the "Outstanding Achievement Merit Award". After school, I came back to Sweden to utilize these newly gained 3D skills, in the field of advertising. In 2002 I moved back to the US permanently and got hired as a Product Designer for a New Jersey based contract manufacturing company. This introduced me to the world of Industrial Design and the overseas manufacturing process. Five years later, in 2007, after being promoted to Creative Director and later a VP of Operations position, I decided to strike out on my own and founded The Product Farm. I relocated my business to Raleigh, North Carolina in 2008 and have now gained 14 years of product design and development experience, along with 7 years of e-commerce sales and social media marketing of my own line of products. Specialties: Product development, conceptual thinking, innovation, design, art direction, branding and being a dad. Hobbies: Watch and play basketball, movies, gardening, innovation, building things and spending time with friends and family. Noteworthy: Completed Swedish Military Service as part of a Sanitation, Fire & Rescue Unit. Fluent in Swedish and English.

Steroids: A Media DisasterMay 8, 2009
Steroids are a horrible problem in the game of baseball. It is a disgrace to the game, the teams, and the fans. Whenever we think the problem is gone, another story breaks of another player alleged of steroid use.
What bothers me, though, is the media's treatment of the situation. I, being a real baseball fan, know and understand the implications of steroid use. But the media has distorted the reality of steroids and has caused a lot of pain in the process.
Yesterday's report of Dodger's outfielder Manny Ramirez taking steroids was not a shock to me at all. I have long been convinced that every long-ball hitter in the game now, with the exception of Albert Pujols and Ryan Howard, have taken steroids at least once in their career.
I think this because of what the guilty players have said. Almost all of their testimonials have been that it was a culture in the clubhouses in the late 80's into the new century.
This may come as a surprise to some fans, but I do not hold steroid use against the players. I hold the owners and especially Bud Selig responsible. They all knew about it long before any stories ever broke and chose to look the other way because ratings were good.
I condemn the media for its treatment of athletes under allegations. Lives have been ruined and reputations have been lost of these athletes. The media should be attacking the owners and the Major League Baseball Front Office and not the individual players.
Another problem about the steroid reports is that the only players that actually get talked about are long-ball hitters. When players like Fernando Vina or Chuck Knoblauch were accused of steroid use, no one bothered to talk about it extensively. The media's treatment of the situation is unfair and immoral.
I also can't stand to see news reports about steroid users. When Manny's story broke, I thought, "Great, now instead of watching stories about the NBA or NHL Playoffs, I get to hear hours on end about exactly when and how Manny Ramirez went about his steroid use."
It's the same story over and over again and it takes up the time of what real sports fans really want to hear about.
It's a known fact that players have taken steroids. I have gotten past it as a baseball fan and do not consider it an issue anymore. My proof: STATS HAVE GONE DOWN. It should be left as it is. The problem is over, STOP HOGGING NEWS AND DESTROYING REPUTATIONS OVER NON-ISSUES!

The Netherlands international had the chance to rescue a point for the Bavarians late on, but saw his finish from the spot saved as BVB achieved a crucial victory
After an exciting first half which offered no goals but plenty of action, Robert Lewandowski popped up with a strike after the break to seal three decisive points for Jurgen Klopp's men, but Bayern will be left to rue a late penalty miss from Arjen Robben, whose tame effort was saved by Roman Weidenfeller.
Dortmund had defeated their rivals in their last three outings, and the match got off to an exciting start, with three good chances in less than five minute. First, Mario Gomez saw a header from inside the box saved, and shortly after Jakub 'Kuba' Blaszczykowski fired wide in a one-on-one with Manuel Neuer.
The Bayern Munich goalkeeper was called into action once again moments later when he pulled off an immense reflex save to deny Kevin Grosskreutz from close range, and then managed to parry a subsequent shot by Lewandowski.
The tempo dropped in the following minutes as most of the action took place in the centre of the pitch. In a rare chance in the final third, an opportunistic long pass to Lewandowski in the 20th minute almost reached the striker, who was, however, beaten to the ball by Neuer.
On the half-hour mark, Toni Kroos send a crashing drive from outside the box just wide of the right post and shortly after Kuba sent a poor effort at the goalkeeper after winning the ball off Franck Ribery.
Lewandowski then rattled Bayern Munich's left post with a towering header from inside the box as the game edged towards half-time. Indeed, this episode proved to be the final moment of interest for the first period.
Shortly after the restart, Kuba had a low shot from range saved by Neuer in the right corner as neither team seemed able to get anywhere near the opposition's penalty area.
On the hour mark, Ribery had an opening from the left side of the box fly just wide as Bayern slowly gained momentum.
The Bavarians saw more of the ball in the following minutes and were taking advantage of Dortmund's sloppy passing to launch counterattacks. In a rare chance for the German champions, Kagawa sent a low shot from outside the box wide of the right post.
Against the run of play, however, Lewandowski opened the scoring. An opportunistic strike from well outside the box reached the Polish striker and he backheeled past Neuer, as Robben played him onside well behind Bayern Munich's defensive line.
The Bavarians threw everything forward in the final minutes of the game and won a penalty in the 82nd minute. Robben, who had won the kick, saw his finish from the spot saved by Weidenfeller as Jupp Heynckes' men were set for a bitter defeat which would effectively put an end to their title challenge.
The Dutchman missed once again, this time from close range in the final minutes of the game as Subotic headed onto his own crossbar, and when the rebound broke to the Dutchman, he blasted high into the stand.
In the following attack Lewandowski hit the bar as Dortmund went on the counter, and despite the late drama, the match ended 1-0 in favour of Jurgen Klopp's men.
Following tonight's result, Borussia Dortmund are first in the standings with 69 points, while Bayern Munich are second with 63. BVB's next league game is a visit to Schalke on Saturday, while the Bavarians host Mainz on the same day.

Do you like to listen to music when falling asleep? Bedphones are the perfect item for you.
About bedphones:
Bedphones are sleep headphones that were created by Eric Dubs, a location-independent product developer. With a background in mechanical engineering, a passion for music and a desire for a great night's sleep, Eric set out to solve an issue plaguing music-lovers and poor sleepers everywhere: no headphones were comfortable enough to wear to bed.
Creating sleep headphones up to this task wasn't easy. Along with computer-aided designs, Eric created nearly one-hundred hand-made prototypes to get the sound quality, thickness and adjustability as perfect as possible. The recently-released Bedphones (Gen. 2) took over a year of research and development to bring to fruition, painstakingly re-designed to address feedback obtained from tens of thousands of customers.
Bedphones (Gen. 2) are 15% thinner than our original sleeping headphones, have a shorter and more ergonomic ear hook design to keep Bedphones snug against your ears, and include a higher-quality blue TPE cable. Furthermore, Bedphones are now available in either black or white with an optional inline microphone with remote to take calls on the go and control your music without touching your phone.
According to a study conducted by the popular UK travel website Travelodge, "eight out of ten Britons rely on music to help them nod off. Studies from around the world have highlighted that listening to music does relax you." Many Bedphones customers have told us that our product has literally changed their lives by allowing them to sleep better and drown out the noises of CPAP masks (sleep apnea), tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and other sleep-related illnesses. Even America's National Sleep Foundation recommends "calming music" as a treatment for insomnia. Bedphones are such a useful tool for sleep, the original model was featured on both The Dr. Oz Show and Good Morning America.
In short, Bedphones are not only stylish and sound great, but also serve a specific, pervasive need – the need for a better night's sleep.
Product Description:
Incredible Comfort
At less than 1/4" thick, these soft, foam-covered headphones are the thinnest in the world. The on-ear design lies so flat, Bedphones practically disappear between your ears and the pillow.
Infinitely Adjustable
Our earhooks are made from gentle, rubber-coated memory wire, infinitely adjustable for a custom fit. Wear the cable down your back and tighten with the cable slider to keep Bedphones secure all night.
Travel Ready
Bedphones are the perfect travel companion. Keep them safe on-the-go with the included sturdy-sided travel case and 90-day manufacturer's warranty. And for long rides, they also come with a comfy satin eye mask.
Talk On The Go
Bedphones now come with an optional inline microphone with remote – a necessity for the many who use Bedphones as their all-day everyday headphones. Our single-buttom remote is compatible with most smartphones and allows you to answer phone calls, play, pause, and skip music tracks without touching your phone.
For Music Lovers
The newly redesigned Bedphones Gen. 2 are the best gift for the music-lover in your life.
My Review:
I listen to music a lot to go to sleep, it helps me relax. Traditional headphones are very difficult to sleep with. These headphones are very comfortable to wear. I toss and turn a lot in my sleep and these headphones stayed in place all night.
I love that they come with a carrying case and an eye mask. The morning sun comes into my bedroom and it tends to wake me up. I can wear the eye mask and it stays dark. I love this! Especially if I nap during the day.
You can use these headphones all day long. When I wear headphones for a long period of time my ears start to hurt. I have no pain whatsoever when wearing these. That's a great bonus! These would make a great gift for the music lover in your life.

DEFINITION of 'Financial Blog'
An online journal (or web log) that provides news and information related to the finance industry. Financial blogs not only comment on news and information, but some also provide stock analysis based on both fundamental and technical principles. Most, if not all, financial blogs are provided free of charge to the general public. For the most part the style of these blogs is more casual than articles and often reflect the personal opinion of the respective writers.
BREAKING DOWN 'Financial Blog'
The use of financial blogs has become a great tool for investors to share their thoughts on the latest news in the finance industry. Financial blogs are not only provided by major financial websites, but also from individual investors.
Since anyone is capable writing a blog without restrictions on the information used, investors should be wary of what they read. Although reputable websites are reliable with their information, blogs provided by individuals may be more subject to manipulation. Unethical investors can use an investing blog to promote stocks in ways to benefit positions they have taken. Investors who use blogs should be aware these sites exist and ensure that a blog they read has an adequate disclosure policy before they act on anything.

DETROIT (AP) — Prosecutors are going right to the money in the first day of evidence at former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's corruption trial.
The jury on Monday saw a $4,000 cash deposit slip used by Kilpatrick in January 2005. An Internal Revenue Service agent says the government traced more than $500,000 in cash transactions between 2001 and 2008.
Kilpatrick is charged with fraud, bribery, tax crimes and a racketeering conspiracy. His father, a Detroit contractor and the city's former water boss are also on trial in Detroit federal court. Jurors heard opening statements Friday. The trial could stretch into 2013.
Kilpatrick quit the mayor's office in 2008 in an unrelated scandal.
