Reebok Classics Gets The "I Love The 90's" Treatment
It's no secret that some of the most iconic basketball sneakers to date were born in the 90s, including the Reebok Kamikaze I which made its debut during the '94-'95 season. Off the court, the mashup of fluorescent blue, green, orange, pink, and yellow colors became a signature "90s" style that remains synonymous with the era to this day.
In the freshest iteration of the timeless silhouette, Reebok Classic fuses two of the most iconic fashion statements from a trend-setting era to create the Kamikaze I "I Love the 90s".
The "90s" will return on April 17th and can be found at Shoe City, Eastbay, and Reebok.com for $125 (Grade School $90, Pre-School $70, Toddler $50).

Bugs Bunny Celebrates The 30th Anniversary With Jordan Brand
In 1992 Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny became an unstoppable force when they teamed together for a Jordan Brand TV spot. The two icons let the world into their friendship, a friendship that has spanned 23 years, six championships and countless threats from the intergalactic cartoon world. Plus we got to see them play together in the cult classic "Space Jam."
This week in an exclusive interview Ahmad Rashad talked with Bugs Bunny on his latest partnership with MJ and the Jordan Brand. Bugs shed some light on his long-standing relationship with Jordan and detailed some of their most notable adventures.
Check out the complete interview!
This weekend Jordan Brand releases the Air Jordan 1 Mid "Hare" and the Air Jordan 1 Mid Lola. The "Hare" takes a playful nod from the Bugs with a white and silver upper, juxtaposed by the multi-colored tongue inspired by Bugs' signature carrot. The iconic Hare Jordan graphic adorns the tongue, in addition to the "Hare" wording located on the heel.
The "Lola" version, honors Bugs' feisty better half by featuring a shimmer and wheat upper with soft pink accents. A decorative Hare Jordan graphic is displayed on the tongue, in addition to pink glaze and mint green color pops.
Both shoes will release this Saturday, April 4, at select retail stores and Jordan.com.

Stephnie Weir Talks "The Comedians," "MADTV," And More
On April 9th FX will premiere a new show called "The Comedians." The show stars Billy Crystal, who plays a comedy legend who is reluctantly paired with Josh Gad, an edgier up-and-coming star, in an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at a fictional late night sketch comedy show where egos and generations collide.
Stephnie Weir stars as "Kristen Laybourne," the anxiety-ridden producer behind The Billy & Josh Show who frequently finds herself caught in the middle of Billy and Josh's arguments, Matt Oberg stars as "Mitch Reed," the show's head writer, and Megan Ferguson stars as "Esme McCauley," a no-nonsense production assistant. Together they spend most of their time managing the egos of their two stars and the generational divide that keeps them from ever fully seeing eye-to-eye.
Weir was born and raised in Odessa, Texas, but started up her career after moving to Chicago and performing on stage in the city with theater companies that include The Second City Main Stage, The Goodman Theatre and ImprovOlympic.
Many of Weir's fans know her from "MADTV" where she had a wide range of colorful characters she played on the hit Emmy® Award-winning show. Some of her additional television credits include "Big Day," "Modern Family," "Weeds" and the animated series "King of the Hill."
Weir also did some writing for shows such as "Wright vs Wrong" and "Counter Culture" for ABC. She has also served as a Consulting Producer on FOX's "Raising Hope" and CBS' "The Millers."

Get An Early Look At The 2016 Lexus RX
At the 2015 New York Auto Show this week Lexus showcased the 2016 version of their best-selling model in the brand's 26-year history. So far Lexus has sold more than 2.1 million units over the world. So in essence the RX represents three out of ten vehicles ever sold by Lexus. The 2016 RX builds on that trend with a completely new, luxurious interior to match its fresh, new, chiseled body style. The large dose of Lexus brand DNA that's been artfully incorporated into the details can not only be seen, but also felt. The new fourth-generation RX also boasts exceptional on-road performance and safety technologies that include the innovative Lexus Safety System+.
"With the new Lexus Safety System+, we offer drivers an added level of occupant safety in a conveniently bundled package that leverages some of the latest accident prevention technology. We certainly expect the proliferation of these features to continue throughout the luxury vehicle market and our Lexus lineup as the industry remains steadfast in the pursuit of enhanced vehicle safety," said Jeff Bracken, Group Vice President and General Manager Lexus Division.
The RX with all-new sheet metal makes a powerful visual statement at first glance. A completely new front end is highlighted by an emboldened spindle grille, more aggressive front bumper and available triple L-shaped LED headlamps. Together with the all-new LED fog lamps and LED daytime running lights, the RX has a more sophisticated and advanced look. Muscular front fender flares add to the vehicle's sporty attitude.
When seen from the side, the sharp character line that runs from the front fenders to the rear end, together with a flowing roofline, give the RX a dynamic profile. All of this helps make the vehicle sure-footed at high speed and reduces wind noise. A truly distinctive styling cue is the blacked-out C-pillars, which provide the illusion of a floating roofline never before seen on a Lexus product. Also, newly available 20-in. aluminum wheels with larger tires improve the vehicle stance and proportions and replace the current model's 19-in. options. These 20-inch wheels can also be customized with body color-matching inserts to emphasize the driver's individuality.
Inside, RX's new luxurious cabin with elegant, high-quality trim exudes warmth and class. An available color heads-up display (HUD) projects pertinent vehicle information to the driver's windshield, while the information display area, featuring an available 12.3-in. monitor with full-screen map, is situated atop the center stack. The shift lever, complete with leather boot, has been positioned away from the front of the instrument panel to optimize operability and create more space for the driver.
"Even while ensuring a high level of luxury and space within the cabin, the RX's silhouette remains sleek and dynamic, while the interior has been designed for easy operation with luxurious execution," said Gen Ikeda, Lexus RX chief designer.
Looking under the RX 350's hood is an upgraded and more powerful 3.5-liter V6 aiming to deliver 300 hp with direct injection, mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission. Based on this enhanced powertrain is the RX 450h's Atkinson-cycle 3.5-liter V6. When combined with the electric motor generator, the combined output results in around 300 hp. All RX engines have been tuned in anticipation of high fuel economy ratings and low carbon emissions.
When it comes to delivering precise, controlled handling, the new RX offers impressive dynamic capability. The entire chassis has been fortified to provide enhanced straight-line stability and control through turns. The vehicle's body structure has been strengthened with added stiffness, helping to enhance its handling response while reducing engine and road noise in the cabin. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is standard, while Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) is available on select models. Each system is designed to help recognize loss of vehicle control, and help mitigate potentially dangerous situations with automatic and often transparent adjustments to help the vehicle maintain optimal traction. The RX also is offered in All-Weather Drive to help the RX's handling performance and control on dry and slick surfaces alike.
The RX's fully independent suspension system, which consists of MacPherson struts up front and a double wishbone setup at rear, has been tuned and reinforced to enhance handling while keeping ride quality remarkably smooth. Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) is available on the RX for the first time. AVS electronically monitors and adapts the shock absorber damping and steering to help ensure optimal handling and ride depending on the driving conditions. The system is also designed to produce less body lean through corners, providing an engaging driving experience.

Reebok Classics Let's The Ventilator Glo!
In 1990, Reebok released one of their most timeless running designs: the Ventilator. Incorporating Hexalite technology into the shoe to provide greater comfort and better shock absorption, it was the perfect shoe for the faster, lighter runner. The durable lugged outsole was designed to give sure-footed traction for both on and off-road running. The visible archbridge in the middle of the shoe was perfectly placed to offer optimum motion control. And the name Ventilator? That came from the ventilated side panels that allowed cooling and breathability. The shoe was ahead of its time.
Twenty-five years later the shoe is a classic. Still as light as it ever was but now worn for street fashion instead of road running.
Capturing the electric energy found within unforgettable days and even hotter nights, Reebok Classic's latest iteration of the Ventilator – Ventilator Day Glo – puts a bold, neon spin on the classic silhouette. Fearless and unapologetic, the bright colorways that make up this unique pack are for those not afraid to stand out or stand up.
Find the perfect colorway to complete your spring wardrobe on April 1st for $75 for adults and $65 for kids. Available at Jimmy Jazz, Villa, Shiekh's and Shoe Palace

Rolls-Royce Makes The World Stand Still
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Wraith will launch a film called "And the World Stood Still." Recently it has been accepted into the British Film Institute National Archive. That is home to the world's most significant collection of film and TV. In honor of this event, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has created Wraith 'Inspired by Film', which will debut at the 2015 New York Auto Show tomorrow, 1 April 2015.
The film won a Gold Award at the 26th International Visual Communications Association Awards. Then it caught the attention of the BFI's Senior Curator for Non-Fiction Films, Patrick Russell, who considered it a striking piece of contemporary cinematography and so decided to accept it into the archive.
"We are delighted to see Rolls-Royce's Wraith launch film enter the BFI's collection," commented Russell. "We selected it for preservation as it is an outstanding and award-winning example of modern corporate promotional filmmaking. It's a powerful use of the film medium for product launch purposes, executed with impeccable craftsmanship."
Marc Mielau, Global Head of Marketing, Rolls‑Royce Motor Cars, said, "It is a great honor to see 'And the World Stood Still' accepted into the BFI National Archive. It is testament to Rolls-Royce's unique position in the public consciousness as the makers of 'The Best Car in the World' and the passion, innovation and creativity of the entire team involved."
The film introduced Wraith as the most powerful and technologically-advanced Rolls-Royce in history. Filmed at a secret location near Barcelona, the shoot included an innovative 'Timeslice' (frozen time) sequence created using 100 SLR cameras; the longest purpose-built camera rig in Europe; an award-winning film director; 36 computers; 1.5km of cables and one prototype Rolls‑Royce Wraith. A behind the scenes film was also launched after the Company was inundated with requests from fans across social media networks worldwide.

Jordan Brand Releases Spring And Summer Inspired Sneaker
The Jordan Eclipse is the latest sportswear offering that takes cues from some of the iconic Jordan basketball models. The Eclipse tooling along with the iconic Jumpman logo on the heel are drawn directly from the Air Jordan III, one of the most iconic offerings in the brands history.
Unlike traditional footwear design, the low-top features a deconstructed textile upper allowing for lightweight breathability, while the Neoprene tongue provides a moldable fit. The Jordan Eclipse's low-profile injected midsole doubles as the outsole and holds an encapsulated Zoom Air component in the heel for optimal cushioning and support. The herringbone-pattern outsole provides great traction on a variety of surfaces.
The Jordan Eclipse will be available globally at Jordan.com and at select retailers on April 1. Stay tuned to @Jumpman23 in the coming months for additional colorway launches.

Thump Keg Brewing Brings Two New Beers Onto The Market
Thump Keg Brewing Co. debuts its beer line with two beers: the Rye IPA in collaboration with George Dickel Whisky and the Agave Amber Ale in collaboration with Peligroso Tequila. Both the Rye IPA and Agave Amber Ale uses inventive brewing techniques by pairing the same foundation ingredients as its collaboration partner spirits brands. While the Thump Keg line does not contain distilled spirits, Agave Amber Ale and Rye IPA are rich in flavor and complexity, providing a new taste experience for casual beer drinkers and beer enthusiasts alike.
Each kindred brew balances the refreshing-tasting character of a beer with a flavor complexity inspired by brilliantly distilled and carefully selected spirits. The Agave Amber Ale's adventurous taste comes from the same signature blue agave used in the distillation of the award-winning, super-premium Peligroso Tequila. The Rye IPA receives a similar influence from George Dickel Whisky – the only rye whisky finished the Dickel way: chilled, then charcoal mellowed. The same underlying grains used in the whisky's distillation are used to create the mash bill for the Rye IPA.
Here is a breakdown of the two beers.
Appearance: Clear, light amber colored ale
Ingredients: Columbus, Cluster, Williamette and Tettnang hops, Rye mash bill
Format: 6-pack of 12 oz. bottles, 20L Kegs
Serve: Best enjoyed cold and straight from the bottle or served in a 16 oz. glass accompanied by a shot of George Dickel Rye Whisky.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Citrus and floral
Flavor: Subtle spice with bursts of vanilla and smoke capture the essence of George Dickel Rye Whisky, balanced with the citrus and pine notes.
Mouth-feel: Earthy character with bitterness
Appearance: An amber colored ale
Ingredients: Tettnang hops, blue agave
Format: 6-pack of 12 oz. bottles, 20L Kegs
Serve: Best enjoyed cold and straight from the bottle or served in a 16 oz. glass accompanied by a shot of Peligroso Tequila.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Floral spice
Flavor: Hints of blue agave and lemon grass capture the essence of Peligroso Tequila, balanced with the toasted malts and subtle hops.
Mouth-feel: Clean bitterness

As I work with clients to organize their offices, I often see them scramble to find everyday things such as pens, paper clips and sticky notes. That's one of the first things we fix, since it's a basic organizing principle to keep often-used items close at hand. And using the proper containers for those items makes them easy to grab when needed.
Especially if the desk does not have a pencil drawer, end-users will want to keep these frequently-used items on their desktops, in some form of desk organizer. Some of these organizers are a single piece, such as the Toolbox from Vitra, designed by Arik Levy. This design is nice for end-users who move between multiple work surfaces—or who work on something like the dining room table, where the desk supplies need to be removed when the table is used for other purposes. The Toolbox also could be used for plenty of other things if needs change and it's no longer needed as a desktop organizer. It's made from ABS plastic.
This desk organizer, from Less & More, consists of two pieces that join together. One piece has holes of various sizes, plus a compartment that would hold a wallet or something of a similar size. The second piece has slots to hold paper and notes, a separate slot that's the right size for a cell phone, and two magnets to hold a few paper clips. Here we see the space-vs-storage tradeoff: This organizer is 10 inches deep (compared to the Vitra toolbox, for example, which is 7 inches deep), which will be too large for some end-users. And the design creates some hard-to-use space in the areas to the left and right of the piece storing the papers and the cell phone—fine if you have space to spare, but not if desktop space is limited.
In comparison, this single-piece wood block desk organizer from l'Atlier d'Exercices is more compact, at only 2.25 inches deep, but it stores much less. There's one hole for pens, and five slots for papers—but nothing for items such as paper clips.
Other desk organizers are modular. These are the Rhombins from AMAC, designed by Eric Pfeiffer and Scot Herbst. Each of the three rhombus-shaped modules has a divider inside to separate items kept within. All sorts of configurations are possible, including a stacked one to save space—although that means the end-user needs to unstack them to get at certain things. The Rhombins are made of Cereplast, a plant-based bio-plastic.
The concrete desktop organizers from CMNTDesign can be bought individually, to meet each end-user's needs. There's the cylindrical pen holder, three sizes of trays, and (not shown) two 8-cm squares that can hold small papers between them. The shallow trays provide a place for something like a few paper clips, which would be lost in a Rhombin. But the more that things are stored horizontally rather than vertically, the more space they take.
The SHUFFLE Tidy from RALLI Design is a series of stacking earthenware ceramic cylinders; the wood base can be removed from any cylinder, creating a taller container. Flexible designs like this are always appealing, but I wish you could buy extra cylinders instead of being limited to the set of six.
This desk caddy from Bearcat Woodworks is on a swivel base, allowing it to have a fairly large capacity, all with easy access, without being very long. (It's 9.5" square.) The various-sized compartments would hold a wide range of items.
Metaphys has a collection of special-purpose desk organizers, with one each for paper clips, rubber bands and stamps. Each is designed to allow some of the items to be stored where they're accessible from the outside of the container, while more can be stored inside. It's another interesting trade-off; by being so item-specific, these containers work really well for those items—but they lack flexibility, and only work for end-users wanting to store those specific things on their desks.
The Kukka Blocks Collection, designed by Rona Meyuchas Koblenz, is a collection of four products: a block with one large hole, a block with four small holes for pencils and such, a pencil and eraser tray, and a larger tray to hold miscellaneous items. It's designed to be sold in a sets of one or two each, which seems odd for a modular system. The tray holding a single pencil seems like an odd use of space, too, for most end-users.
The Tidy Desktop desk organizer designed by Oded Friedland of Monkey Business, fits many types of storage in a small space. The base compartment on the pencil cup stores little things such as paper clips and small binder clips; the pencil cup also serves as a small magnet board.
The Desktructure from Seletti, designed by Héctor Serrano, comes in three variations: a ship, a warehouse and a city. Each one has multiple porcelain pieces: a pen and pencil cup, some lidded boxes, and some open storage. Not everyone does well with lidded containers—some people just need everything out in clear sight—but other end-users will like having some items less visible.
And here's an unusual design: the Office Brush, by Raumgestalt. While it won't hold the paper clips and such, it's fine for pencils, pens, scissors, letter openers, rulers, etc.—and anything that would do OK laying on top of some of the bristles.

Everyone has different needs and constraints—but fortunately, designers have given us numerous options to help meet those needs.The Toro Legno (Kitchen Bull) shown above is a fanciful item: a knife block with...
No matter how modern, chic or technologically-forward you may be, everyone loves maps.

Great Quality!
These towels are really lovely, I was hesitant about the check design but needed the red to make the décor pop. I was pleasantly surprised as they not enhanced the small bathroom that had been remodeled but the quality was excellent.Read More
No matter what I did, I could not get the hand towel or the wash cloth to lay or hang flat ..... Disappointed that the bath towel did not have the border - although if I had looked closer at the picture I would have seen this....Read More
Just as Pictured!
I have not washed these towels since they are largely for display on a towel rack in my master bath--but I needed to replace older towels which had become faded. I am very pleased that the colors are true to those displayed on the website. The quality seems very good.Read More
decorative and luxe
We have an unusual guest bath with walls that appear to shift in colour from gold-bronze-copper depending on how the light shifts [ Ralph Lauren Ballroom Gold paint]. These guest towels are the perfect accompaniment for this room. They are luxurious in texture and appearance, and because of the pattern of the border juxtaposed against the smooth velour like finish to the towels , they look fabulous in the room. The larger towel with out a border is lovely as well.Read More

Recommended Wiki: Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair
Introduction A Ventral Hernia is defect in the anterior abdominal wall. Types of Ventral Hernias Ventral hernias comprise primary and acquired subtypes. Primary hernias commonly include umbilical and epigastric with secondary hernias including traumatic or incisional. Pathogenesis Primary hernias may be congenital especially at the level of the umbilicus where there is a defect from the umbilical cord. Incisional hernias are believed to be the failure of laparotomy closure with risks factors for hernia formation including wound infection, diabetes, increased intra-abdominal pressure, obesity, malnutrition, comorbid conditions, and medications such as steroids. There is also probably a genetic component with "hernia formers" which still has to be studied. Symptoms Patients complain of a bulge or pain related to the protrusion. Some patients complain of vague abdominal symptoms. In an acute situation, a ventral hernia may present with a bowel obstruction from incarcerated or strangulated bowel. Preop Operative Considerations Imaging including CT… Continue Reading »

MLB Opening Day Rosters Filled With RoughRiders
Opening Day for the Frisco RoughRiders is this Thursday, but former Riders players will have a presence in nearly every Opening Day contest at the start of the 2015 Major League Baseball season. There are 33 former RoughRiders on the Opening Day active rosters of 16 different MLB teams this season, highlighted by the big league debuts of 2014 Frisco players Keone Kela and Odubel Herrera.
The Texas Rangers have an MLB-high 12 former RoughRiders on their roster, with Kela making his first appearance on a major league roster. He is expected to be a member of the Texas bullpen for tonight's season opener in Oakland. The 21-year-old right-handed pitcher was promoted to Frisco on May 3, 2014 and spent the remainder of the season as a RoughRider. Kela posted a 2-1 record with five saves and a 1.86 ERA in 36 Texas League appearances in 2014, registering a 55:27 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a .162 opponents' batting average in 38.2 innings. He did not allow an earned run in 30 of his last 32 regular season outings and twice compiled streaks of 14 consecutive scoreless appearances. Kela was the Rangers' 12th round selection in the 2012 First-Year Player Draft out of Everett (Wash.) Community College.
Herrera is expected to be the Philadelphia Phillies' everyday centerfielder when the Phillies open the season this afternoon at home against Boston. A Rule 5 Draft selection by Philadelphia in the off-season, Herrera spent the bulk of the past two seasons as a second baseman with the RoughRiders.
He won the Texas League batting crown last year with a .321 average, 13 points higher than second place. In 96 games with the Riders, Herrera compiled 16 doubles, four triples, two home runs and 48 runs batted in. The left-handed batter was named a Texas League Postseason and Mid-Season All-Star last year; he was also a Mid-Season TL All-Star in 2013. A native of Zulia, Venezuela, Herrera was signed by the Rangers as a non-drafted free agent in 2008.
Twelve of the of the 15 Opening Day games scheduled for last night and today feature a former RoughRider on the 25-man roster of at least one team. Since 2003, Frisco has sent 128 former players to the big leagues (not including Major League rehabbers).

Frisco's New Skipper
Change is in the air at Dr Pepper Ballpark. The Frisco RoughRiders' active offseason saw a new ownership group take over, significant stadium upgrades, an overhauled logo design and the arrival of new manager Joe Mikulik.
Mikulik (pronounced "MICK-uh-LICK") is the definition of a baseball lifer. Drafted in the ninth round of the 1984 June Draft, Mikulik played 12 seasons in the Astros organization. His biggest hit came for Triple-A Tucson when he drove in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth, clinching the Pacific Coast League Championship. Mikulik, a late season addition to the roster, drove an 0-2 pitch into right field to score Trinidad Hubbard, and the city of Tucson went into a state of pandemonium.
A perennial losing pro baseball franchise had finally won a championship, from perhaps the most unlikely contributor. Immediately following the game Mikulik offered, "I don't know what it's like in the [major leagues], but if it's better than this … wow."
The closest Mikulik came to the big leagues was in 1995, the year following the work stoppage that curtailed the '94 season. The league threatened to have replacement players fill rosters for the season. Mikulik was a prime candidate at age 31 with 3,634 minor league at-bats. In an article with Sports Illustrated in January of '95, Mikulik tried to explain the dilemma should he get asked to play. On one hand here is a chance to fulfill his lifelong dream, donning a major league uniform. Trying to support a young family, Mikulik would more than quadruple his typical salary, saying he would be "living high on the hog."
On the other hand, he would antagonize the MLB Players Association and those he hoped to call teammates one day.
The opportunity never arrived, as MLB and the MLBPA reached an agreement in late April.
Following his playing days, Mikulik immediately entered the coaching realm. He spent two years with the Cleveland Indians Single-A team before joining the Colorado Rockies organization. He managed the Class-A Ashville Tourists for an impressive 13 seasons, amassing 938 wins. His wins are the most ever for the franchise and the South Atlantic League, which inducted him into its Hall of Fame in 2010.
Mikulik joined the Rangers as a roving instructor in 2013 before returning to the dugout in 2014 with Advanced Single-A Myrtle Beach, leading the Pelicans to an 82-56 season. Mikulik won his 1,000th game in the minor leagues last season with a 7-5 victory over the Potomac Nationals. The feat went largely unnoticed because of a statistical error dating back to his first managing gig in 1997 with Burlington. He only managed the final 16 games, but is wrongly credited in online databases with an additional 22 wins and 30 losses from that season.
Speaking to a South Carolina reporter, Mikulik found humor in the situation, "It (was) a silent victory," he said with a laugh. "Nobody around knows about it. I guess I'll have to celebrate by myself."
To the public outside of Tucson, Mikulik is best known for his extensive tirades with umpires. A quick Google or YouTube search provides an entertaining potential preview of what may come to Frisco this season.
Whether he's (literally) stealing second base, undressing at home plate, bashing coolers or barricading the umpires' dressing room, there is no shortage of energy.
Following a major blowup in 2006, Mikulik was quick to point out, "I don't think I ever lost total control."
Former major league outfielder Kenny Lofton played with Mikulik in the Houston organization. When the video of his tantrum(s) went viral, Lofton was unmoved,
"This was nothing new about him being intense," Lofton said. "He loved the game. He wanted to play every day. He had the same intensity every day. If he didn't play, he was mad, because he wanted to play. That's how he was. And he loved baseball, boy. He'd live and die for it.
"That's just his nature."
Mikulik brings an extensive legacy and well-known temper to the RoughRiders.
Most importantly, he brings a proven track record to help the next wave of future Rangers become great.
Thanks for reading.
Now On The Clock
Major and Minor League Baseball are trying to improve the fan experience at the ballpark this season with the implementation of new Pace of Game Regulations. Over the years, MLB has seen the time of its games rise to over three hours in length. It's fair to assume everyone enjoys a fluid pace with limited interruption. The league understands committing an entire afternoon/evening to a baseball game is valuable time.
The rules will require pitchers in the minors to work on a 20-second timer, while hitters must stay inside the batter's box between pitches. Ironically, the current MLB rulebook already includes Rule 6.02 and Rule 8.04.
Rule 6.02: The Batter Must Be in the Box
The umpire has the right to call a "strike" on any batter who refuses to take his position in the batter's box. The batter must keep one foot in the box throughout the at-bat.
Rule 8.04: Twelve Seconds to Pitch
When the bases are unoccupied, a pitcher must deliver the ball to the batter within 12 seconds or an umpire may assign a "ball" to the batter's count.
Those rules are simply never enforced (with one rare, notable exception), but that will soon change. MiLB has lightly implemented Rule 6.02 for several years, but the new rule will strictly require the batter to stay in the box and ready for the pitch.
- There will be three different timers inside the ballpark: one in the outfield and two behind home plate. Should any timer fail, all three will be turned off.
- As soon as the final out of an inning is recorded, the timer will reset to 2 minutes, 25 seconds. All in-house entertainment must be complete and off the field after two minutes. The pitcher cannot throw a warm-up pitch after the timer hits 30 seconds. Ideally, both the batter and pitcher are ready for action when the timer hits 20 seconds.
- The pitcher must be in motion before the timer hits "0" or an automatic "ball" is awarded.
- The batter must make every reasonable effort to enter the batter's box with 20 seconds on the timer. If the batter does not enter the box with five or more seconds remaining, the umpire will automatically award a "strike".
- The timer will reset to 20 seconds after the catcher returns the ball to the pitcher (following each pitch).
- The umpire has the right to reset the timer at his discretion.
- With runners on base, the pitcher has the right to step-off, make a pickoff attempt (any base), or feint a pickoff attempt (any base). The timer will immediately reset to 20 seconds.
Here is the link to the 13-page breakdown of the new rule.
Pace of play is a growing issue in baseball. Too many batters are stepping out, adjusting batting gloves, and taking the time for whatever other superstition one can come up with. Pitchers, specifically relief pitchers, have enough time to casually enjoy a sandwich in between pitches.
In the heat of summer, I'm not sure how many people enjoy a three-hour contest sitting in a balmy 103 degrees.
People have vastly different opinions regarding this issue. For example, hardcore baseball fans could care less, the casual fan might wish the game lasted about three innings, and the media prefers an entertaining, but precise 2-hour, 15-minute affair.
After each game, the official scorer always announces the "official time of game", which, to the best of my knowledge, only the media cares about.
I believe implementing rules to speed up the game that could ultimately change the outcome of a game is a dangerous line to walk. Take the playoffs for instance…
With every game so close, with so much on the line, does it really make sense to put a timer on someone to be ready? I've never attended a World Series game that I left and said to myself, "Wow, that game took way too long."
The umpire can dictate the pace of game without the necessity of a timer. The umpire does not have to grant timeout simply because a player asks. Again, it's a rule rarely enforced, but it's a rule… and one that is there for pace of play. The umpire could enforce both Rule 6.02 and Rule 8.04, but often opts to ignore them. The umpire could strictly warn a player taking his sweet time that he will be penalized (and ultimately do so), but typically refrains.
I've seen a lot of games and I could not name one dominant pitcher who worked S.L.O.W.
Great pitchers like to stay in rhythm, work quickly, and trust the catcher's game calling.
I appreciate the league trying to improve its product and attract new fans, but part of the game is the length, and the only "clock" necessary in a ballpark is the radar gun.
As the great comedian George Carlin once said, "Baseball has no time limit! We don't know when it's going to end… we might have extra innings!" and that is just part of the unexpected that makes baseball, well, baseball.
Will the new regulations speed up the game? What unforeseen consequences will result? Could arguments stemming from an automatic "strike" negate the difference?
Those are all questions that the 2015 season will answer, and the clock is ticking (17 days) until we begin to find out.
Counting Down To Opening Day With Nate Lucas
Disclaimer: Please excuse my disregard for any hurt feelings from the 2011 World Series!
Opening Day is right around the corner, and for many of us, we consider it a national holiday. Spring Training offers a friendly reminder that winter will soon concede to summer's warmth, and America's pastime will politely intrude our daily lives.
Baseball is unlike other sports. The grueling 162-game season produces the unexpected each night. Think you've seen it all in baseball? Think again. Preseason predictions meet reality, where new heroes are put on pedestals and greatness achieves championships.
Growing up in St. Louis, I feel fortunate to call myself a Cardinals fan. The Cardinals are St. Louis. As Hall of Fame closer Bruce Sutter once reminded me, "there's not much else to do on a 100-degree day in St. Louis."
Though technically the state bird is a bluebird, little doubt persists the Cardinal is reigning king.
Opening Day at Busch Stadium is a true spectacle, and something I would never miss–even if that meant forging an early excuse note for a doctor's appointment that conveniently gave myself enough time to scalp a ticket before the ceremonies commenced. For the record, good luck seeing a doctor on Opening Day, because they're likely in attendance as well.
The history of the organization, the 12 World Series titles, the 19 National League Pennants, and the annual 3-plus million fans undoubtedly generated my love for the game.
Baseball echoes the history of this great nation. Baseball unites cultures around the globe. Baseball is Jackie Robinson. Baseball is Ernie Banks' "Let's play two!" Baseball is friendly, but contentious rivalries. Baseball is a classic day at Wrigley or Fenway. Baseball is Stan Musial, Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays and Mike Trout. Baseball is home to the greatest five-set toolboxes. Baseball is Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, Pedro Martinez and Greg Maddux. Baseball is built for October, where locals like David Freese become engraved into history, and workhorses like Madison Bumgarner shoulder 52.2 innings.
At one point in my life I was playing, coaching, officiating, and covering baseball. When the realization hit that my 5-foot-nothin' structure and soft-tossing lefty skillset weren't my ticket to the big leagues, I changed course.
Baseball found a voice on the radio with the likes of Jack Buck, Vin Scully, Harry Caray and Mel Allen. The opportunity to announce baseball has been my dream for a long time. I cannot express how excited I am to help bring you Frisco RoughRiders baseball this season. Please forgive me for my allegiance to the St. Louis Cardinals; I promise to not bring up any lingering memories from 2011.
I look forward to meeting a lot of you here at Dr Pepper Ballpark throughout the season. Let's have some fun.
Cheers to baseball.
Nate Lucas
PS: I'll be joining Alex Vispoli on the radio for every RoughRiders home game this season. For all things Riders baseball follow me on Twitter.
Spring in their step
Following a long 2014 season and an off-season light on major roster developments, spring training is well underway for the Rangers out in Surprise, Arizona. And, despite camp starting under the dark cloud of serious injuries (see Darvish, Yu and Profar, Jurickson) for the second straight year, the promise of a new season and better results on the horizon are enough to encourage any baseball fan back here in the Metroplex. The big league club has already played nearly two handfuls of Cactus League games and, as expected, Texas has used a plentiful number of players in those contests, including several players we can expect to see in Frisco this season.
It's never wise to put too much stock into spring training numbers, because it's difficult to decipher between what's reality and versus a desert mirage. That said it's hard not to get excited over things like Rougned Odor's torrid start (6 for 13 with two doubles) and good early reports on Elvis Andrus. Knowing that spring results should be taken with a heavy grain of salt, let's take a look at what some like 2015 RoughRiders have done while moonlighting in big league games through March 10. (The minor league games for the players in camp will begin on March 16, and that is when we'll begin to get a better idea of the roster makeup for each affiliate).
Joey Gallo
The Rangers' 2014 Tom Grieve Minor League Player of the Year will look to take another big step toward the big leagues and may not be a long term resident in Frisco this season (assuming he starts there). Gallo, a non-roster invitee to spring training, has played in five of Texas' eight games and is 3 for 10 with two walks, two strikeouts and a homer on March 8 against Cubs roster hopeful Eric Jokisch.
Jorge Alfaro
Gallo's fellow "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle" (the collective nickname given to teen wonders – Gallo, Alfaro, Mazara, Williams, Guzman and Brinson – that populated the 2013 Hickory Crawdads) has gotten into seven games, going 2 for 9 with a pair of runs scored and an RBI. Look for Alfaro to get the lion's share of the time behind the plate for Frisco this season.
Nick Williams
The 21-year-old from Galveston has played in one spring training game, going 1 for 2. Williams did not have the smoothest entry into Double-A last season (.226/.250/.290), but he showed flashes of his powerful hit tool and figures to be one of the more scrutinized prospects on the RoughRiders this season.
Hanser Alberto
Alberto could be ticketed for a level higher in the farm system at the start of the season based on position need and there is no doubt he has an advanced defensive tool. The Dominican, who was added to the Rangers' 40-man roster in the off-season, won the Minor League Gold Glove Award for 2014. In six spring games with the big club, he is 4 for 12 with a double and a steal.
Trever Adams
The Nebraska native could be in line to begin 2015 in Frisco despite being named a Texas League Postseason All-Star last year. He has swung the bat well in limited spring action, going 2 for 3 over two games.
Some of the big names (Jake Thompson, Andrew Faulkner) that figure to come to Frisco haven't yet pitched in any big league games this spring, but several other hurlers have. Prospective Riders that have pitched scoreless baseball to date include Cody Kendall, Jose Leclerc and Kohsuke Tomita. Chad Bell, a Rider in 2012, may be with Frisco to begin 2015 as he continues his journey back from Tommy John surgery. He has allowed one run (on a solo homer) in his lone inning of action while Jesus Pirela (one run, 1.1 innings), Josh McElwee (two runs, 0.2 innings) and Efrain Nieves (two runs, 0.2 innings) have also been touched for runs.

I stopped by to sample some maple ice cream and see the maple sugaring process. It is incredible to see the process involved in making maple syrup
The store has many little treats to,pick up. Maple was the flavor of the month.
Had read about it here, so I went to buy a few little gifts of maple syrup, maple candies (all delicious) and a cremee, which is a maple ice-cream softie.Great service, worth the 5 minute-drive out of town.
We found this place on Google and drove off to visit it. It is like an Aladdin's Cave as it is so much bigger inside than outside. It stands by the river and offers free parking. You have to go outside and down to the lower level under the shop to see how the maple syrup is made and there...
Stopped by the Green Mountain Sugar House on our way out of town. Most of their gift items can be seen in other shops in the area. What sets them apart are the plethora of maple products and the knowledgeable, helpful staff. We enjoyed a few samples of the syrup, too. Didn't try the famed Maple Cremee, but there's always...
We stopped at quite a few places while up in Vermont last weekend I think Green Mountain Sugar House had the most reasonable prices and fresh maple sugar candy. The staff was friendly and not pushy. I got just what I was looking for and had some delicious maple creme. Whoa, that stuff was very good! I would go back...
We stopped in first thing in the morning when staying in Ludlow. I got a maple creamie that was delightful and it became the running joke of the trip that I thought it was a good idea to start the day off with ice cream! Great shop in a great location not far from Okemo!
All items are made on premises at this family owned unique
facility. It offers four grades of pure 100% maple syrup, plus maple cream, sweet maple treats and maple nut brittle. Sold only at their own gift shop but also shipped from their catolog.
Excellent maple soft serve ice cream. My wife and also loved the maple candy and syrup. Excellent service we were given samples of their syrup and explanations on the variety of grades. Prices also seemed reasonable.
Every time I come to VT, I try to find granulated maple sugar. I'm normally unsuccessful.. until I Googled it and found this place. No disappointments there! Will definitely be back on my next trip.
As you are driving on Rte 100, you cannot pass the Green Mountain Sugar House. The wonderful folks who have been there for so many years welcome you with friendly smiles and the best soft ice cream any place--the maple cremee. Made with their own maple syrup, it is a true treat. Sitting on an adirondack chair overlooking Lake Pauline...

What is a BioBlitz?
A BioBlitz is a period of intensive and collaborative cataloguing of the plant and animal life in a specific area. Some BioBlitzes are open to the public, but our BioBlitz is for Macaulay sophomores, who will be guided by scientific experts and other knowledgeable volunteers to complete the BioBlitz.
Here's a nice short video showing a BioBlitz in McLaren Park in San Francisco.
When is the BioBlitz?
The BioBlitz starts in the afternoon on Saturday, August 29, 2015 and ends in the afternoon on Sunday, August 30, 2015. You will sign up for a specific time when you register in late July.
Shuttle service will be provided between the St George Ferry area and Freshkills Park. BioBlitz shifts and shuttle service times will be coordinated with scheduled Staten Island Ferry arrival and departure times. For students who are not taking the ferry to Staten Island, please arrive promptly to meet your shuttle. Personal vehicles will not be allowed into Freshkills Park. You must take the shuttle.
Oh no! Do I need to stay there for 24 hours?
No, we don't expect you to be in a 24 hour endurance event! Students sign up for one shift. Most shifts are about three hours long. During your shift, you will work in a team to catalogue a particular type of life in the Garden. You will have directions and guidance.
Where is the BioBlitz?
This year's BioBlitz is at The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG). All students will check in AT MACAULAY (35 W 67 St) to get credentials and materials, and meet their research teams. We will provide bus transportation from Macaulay directly to NYBG.
Who should attend? Do I have to sign up?
This event is for Macaulay sophomores (that's the class of 2018). If you are a Macaulay sophomore, this is a required event and registration is required. When it is time to register, sign up for one and only one slot. All slots are first-come, first-served. You will be assigned to a survey team at the BioBlitz.
What should I bring with me?
You must wear your BioBlitz t-shirt throughout the event. It's your ticket in, so make sure you have it! Wear clothing that covers your legs and sturdy, flat, closed-toe shoes.
You should also bring a backpack, a bottle of water, some snacks, sunscreen if you are working during the day, and you should consider bug spray. If the forecast calls for rain, bring your rain gear.
If you have an iPhone or Android, please download iNaturalist and bring your device!
Otherwise, please avoid bringing extra things and valuables with you. There will be no storage space for personal items onsite.
What should I wear?
You must wear your BioBlitz t-shirt throughout the event. It's your ticket in, so make sure you have it!
You will be working outside, and that could include work on the ground. In other words, your clothes could get dirty. The BioBlitz goes on rain or shine, so dress for being outside in the weather that is expected. For safety reasons, you must wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and clothing that covers your legs. Do not wear shorts, short skirts, sandals, flip-flops, high heels etc. And don't forget sunscreen, bug spray, and rain gear if necessary!
What should I expect?
You should expect a fun and active learning experience that will help you experience Freshkills Park and data collection in ways that few New Yorkers have before. You will be contributing to an important event whose data will help scientists and citizens of New York to understand biodiversity in our city.
Do I need to do anything in advance to prepare?
You need to register! Registration will open in late July and will take place through this site.
Besides registering, please create an iNaturalist account and download the app if you have a compatible device.
Who will be there to help me?
We are working with a team of scientists and knowledgeable enthusiasts to lead teams of students. Team leaders will provide guidance, instruction, and species identification help.
How do we collect information?
We will use a program called iNaturalist to record information. Please create an account with iNaturalist. Android and iPhone apps are available, so if you have one of those, please download the app before you arrive. We will try to make sure that every team has at least one member with an iNaturalist-equipped mobile device, but we will provide good old-fashioned paper and pencils as back up.
What happens to the data we collect?
Data will be used in your Seminar 3 classes and by scientists who study the various forms of life you will encounter. Freshkills will also use the data to help inform decisions they make about the site. Data will also be available on this web site for public use.
What if it rains?
The BioBlitz will go on rain or shine. We will have ponchos on hand. If there is an extreme weather event such as a hurricane, the BioBlitz will be canceled and we will inform participants via email and this site. If there is a brief period of severe weather, such as a thunderstorm, activity will temporarily be suspended. Leaders will communicate with their teams in case of a weather event during the course of the day.
What if I can't come?
This is a mandatory event for Macaulay sophomores. If you can't come, you should talk to your Seminar 3 professor about what makeup activity he or she requires.
My species identification skills are weak. How will I know what I am looking at?
Scientists will lead the students teams during the BioBlitz. They'll show you how they work in the field and help you identify the species you see. You do not need any experience to participate in the BioBlitz.
I'm concerned about animal welfare. What can you tell me?
Many of the animal species we observe during the BioBlitz are only visually observed, or recorded through some other non-invasive means, such as track plates or infrared cameras. Some species, such as turtles, fish, and bats, are caught in specialized nets or traps, and released, unharmed, after they have been identified. All vertebrate animal trapping and handling activity is regulated by permits from the DEC and from CUNY's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). In most cases, only taxon leaders may directly handle animals, and all taxon leaders will be able to explain the procedures they use to identify and study animals, and why it is important to do so.
A small number of insects and spiders and potentially some mollusks (such as slugs) are trapped and humanely euthanized so that they can be studied in a lab. (If you have specific questions about procedures, you can ask a taxon leader.) Taking samples to a lab allows for more accurate species identification, which is an important part of studying the area's ecosystem. If you want to be on a team with only vegan activity, you may indicate this when you register.
