Customer review by ThePerfectNarutoRater
FINALLY! This long awaited game has finally came! I have waited since September to get this! And now, I will post a review about this game! First off, let me say this is not Naruto Storm 3. It's more of a Naruto Storm 2.5! My parents pre-ordered this game for me since they knew I wanted it. And they put it on two-day shipping, in which it was shipped to me on the 12th. Anyways, I just got this today and it's now the 14th. This was actually a Birthday present for me! Included in this game: *FOR THOSE WHO PRE-ORDERED *Game *Booklet *3 special cards, you can use these to gain special stats in Online Mode in which people who don't pre-order won't be able to get Included in this game: *Game *Booklet Review: I'm not that far into the game. I just started. But, there are several different story modes to choose from. (i.e: Naruto in Part 1 has his own story, Naruto in Part 2 has his own story) I am starting it in order from Naruto Part 1. So far from what I've played, this game has improved slightly in graphics, and the game play seems a little better then Storm 2. There are indeed a lot of the same things in this game then there was in Storm 2. And that would be things like, the same amount of health bars..and that's it. Well..I shouldn't say that. The Ultimate Jutsu's are still a couple of seconds long, and there are no clashes. BUT, for the Health, yes it is two bars and not more like Storm 1. But they made it so even though there are two tanks of health, it's the same amount of health for Storm 1. They also added some pretty cool stuff! First thing, Substitution Bar! That makes it so you don't use your Chakra to substitute. The bar has 4 links to it so you can sub. 4 times. And slowly over time, it regains. And since I play online a lot, it's a better way so you don't end up facing spammers! Another great thing: They added in never before released Anime in the show, over 65 minutes of Original Anime that was never shown on the Anime or Manga! ANOTHER great thing, there are 72 Playable Characters!! Even more, it comes with an Online Tournament to face people worldwide to see who is the best, and there is Survival Mode! Now, it is indeed a good game. But even a good game comes with the cons. That would be, there is no free roam like Storm 1 or 2. It is basically the Third Hokage narrating through the story. And then it goes straight to battle. And because of this, you can get past other peoples story modes pretty fast, therefor can make this game short. And there are actually 80+ Characters, but 15 of those Characters are Support-Only. Meaning you can't play as them. All though this game is short, it's not made for story mode pretty much. Since this is just a game to keep the players busy while they make Storm 3, they say that the story mode is not made for, well story. This game is actually made for the Online Play. Which is great! I love it! Even though it seems the game is short. It goes from the Land of Waves Arc (Haku and Zabuza), all the way up to the 4th Great Ninja War. And *SPOILER* you can play as Nine Tailed Chakra Mode Naruto! When he masters it! Overall, this game is GREAT! And you should really buy it if your a fan of Naruto!
Customer review by camosaurus
okay so ive played ultimate ninja storm 2 and i loved the game, it was really redundant when it came to walking around in the leaf village or going to other placed but the battles are epic as well as all the moves. it follows the story line spot on. so ive seen a few youtube video's on Generations and ill tell you... there will be a lot more characters with epic fight scenes obiously because it say's generations so you'll be able to play young naruto generations as well as the old naruto generations. well i just cant wait its going to be a great game!

After 15 years, the city of Maryville has announced that the Foothills Fall Festival – taking place Oct. 17-19 – will take its final bow.
Tim McGraw, Chris Young and Dustin Lynch will perform for thousands of fans at Maryville's Theater in the Park, along with a full range of other musical performances to be announced soon. Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo will kick off the festival on Friday night, followed by Chris Young as Saturday's headliner and Tim McGraw will close out the festival on Sunday.
"We are excited about this year's lineup, and, while bittersweet for us as the city's last annual Foothills Fall Festival, this year's event will be another outstanding offering of the best festival and concert entertainment as well as a celebration of all the past events and those folks who have made it possible," said City Manager Greg McClain. "We are looking for lots of interaction this year as we open up social media opportunities for city residents and long-time attendees, sponsors, vendors, artisans, volunteers, local businesses and city of Maryville employees to share their memories."
According to Mr. McClain, the decision of administrative staff to sunset the Festival was a difficult one – "one that we didn't take lightly in any respect," he said.
"The full context of putting together an event at the level of the Foothills Fall Festival has become out of step with our financial and personnel resource base as a municipality – particularly in very recent years due to the changing entertainment and live music landscape, market pressures and worldwide competition for acts," said Mr. McClain.
"Our top priority has always been to serve as excellent stewards of local taxpayer dollars and ensure top value back to our citizens with every decision made and dollar spent," said Mr. McClain. "Our goal for the festival began simply as a way to offer our community an affordable, world-class entertainment experience. It has never been a profit-driven event, but the industry is profit-driven and highly competitive. Due to market pressures, the festival's original goal has been complicated by what is now necessary to meet it. To sustain this event, we have had to make decisions that have begun to work against our original goal. After a thoughtful, business-based analysis, it became abundantly clear that continuing the Festival in alignment with our original goals was unsustainable."
"I am confident that the city of Maryville administrative staff have been – and will continue to be – good stewards of our local resources, and I understand their decision," said Maryville Mayor Tom Taylor. "City Council and I look forward to celebrating what the Festival has meant to the community and continue to support exploring new ways to provide high-quality, affordable family entertainment that our community has come to expect."
"We are seeking to explore more ways to utilize our resource base for events and opportunities that can occur throughout the course of the year, with a more consistent, sustainable impact for both citizens and local businesses to benefit," said Mr. McClain.
City of Maryville Community Relations Manager Jane Groff expressed the city's thanks to everyone who has made the Foothills Fall Festival an award-winning event over the years.
"We can't offer enough thanks to the sponsors, staff and dedicated community volunteers who have made each Festival possible," said Ms. Groff. "The Festival also owes its success to the hard work of city of Maryville employees, our partners, organizations and business supporters and, of course, the performers, vendors and artisans who have created the whole Festival experience. With those folks in mind, we are working to create a memorable finale to celebrate the legacy of the Foothills Fall Festival."
As with each year, a juried arts and craft show with free music, activities and demonstrations will fill Broadway in the heart of Downtown Maryville. Sixteen acres of adventures for the family will take place in the Greenbelt Park near Blount County's library, all free of charge.
Tickets for the 15th and final Foothills Fall Festival will go on sale Saturday July 19. Three-day festival passes are available for $60 (until Sept. 8) and $70 after Sept. 8. Some reserved seating is available. Also, children eight and under are admitted free of charge. Tickets may be purchased at the Maryville Municipal Center and at all Blount County First Tennessee Bank locations. For more information, visit www.foothillsfallfestival.com, call 865.273-3445 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. The Foothills Fall Festival is also on Facebook at www.facebook.com/TheFoothillsFallFestival and Twitter @FoothillsFest.

Leisure travel represents a significant investment for consumers in terms of both time and money, so it's no surprise that folks are interested in protecting their precious resources. But given that travel insurance packages typically cost 4% to 8% of the price of a trip, most of us seem content rolling the dice.
Unfortunately, while illness and natural disasters interfere with the travel plans of 1 in 6 Americans, according to the U.S. Travel Insurance Association, only 22% of those affected have travel insurance. The good news is that the solution might already be in your wallet. The travel-related benefits provided by credit cards extend well beyond points and miles, you see, and two of the most significant, yet under-acknowledged perks are auto rental insurance and general travel insurance.

Disable Syntax Highlighting in Vim
I'm the type of geek that always has an open ssh session connected to my servers, but ever since I switched to using a Mac running OS X, I noticed a huge annoyance in my terminal… the syntax highlighting makes it impossible to read the files I'm trying to edit.
Note that this isn't the fault of OS X, it's because I've got ansi color turned on and my settings configured wrong. So, how to disable syntax highlighting in Vim?
Look, somebody puked a rainbow into my terminal window…

Peppermint 7 Released
Peppermint 7 launched a few days ago. Peppermint is a lightweight Ubuntu-based Linux distribution with an emphasis on speed and simplicity. Although the name is similar to Linux Mint, the projects aren't directly related. Peppermint originally was envisioned as a "spicier" alternative to Mint—whatever that means! Many distros come with a wide assortment of feature-rich applications, and that's great for power users who need those apps. But older machines can struggle to cope with those demanding distros. Peppermint solves the problem by offering a carefully curated suite of web apps that perform tasks traditionally handled by native apps. It's an approach that will be familiar to any Chromebook users reading this article.

Week 1: Hot then cold bats have 'Cats at 2-3
Let's take a look at the 'Cats first five games of the season. Though a small sample size, we've actually learned quite a bit.
First of all, despite the 2-3 record, this team has the potential to succeed. They've shown flashes of greatness, but silly mistakes and a lack of clutch hitting have been the downfall thus far.
Friday, June 17 – Valley Cats 13, Tigers 1
Offense was no issue in the ValleyCats home opener, as they mashed 14 hits en route to a 13-1 victory.
Stephen Wrenn, who leads the NYPL in runs scored (8), hit a leadoff homerun in the first inning, and his BA currently sits at .500.
Tri-City hit four doubles in the fifth inning, scoring four runs, including a 2-RBI double from Daz Cameron, who reached base four times. Randy Cesar picked up an RBI-single in the sixth, and Carmen Benedetti singled in Kolbey Carpenter, which set the table for a Taylor Jones line drive grand slam homerun to left field.
Akeem Bostick, who picked up the win, allowed only two hits while striking out two over six innings pitched, using only 70 pitches. Bostick, on a rehab stint from the Lancaster JetHawks, is scheduled for one more start before rejoining the Class-A Advanced affiliate.
Sebastian Kessay, who faced 15 batters over the final three innings, picked up the save in relief, striking out seven.
Quick take: Kessay kept his composure despite allowing a few baserunners. The offense proved they can score in bunches 1 through 9. I was especially impressed with Taylor Jones. It may seem easy to pick the guy who hit the grand slam, but Jones hits the ball hard in every at bat.
Saturday, June 18 – Tigers 9, ValleyCats 5
The 'Cats left 23 runners on base and struck out 13 times in a 9-5 loss to the Tigers, with nine of the 13 strikeouts looking.
Ben Smith (0-1) took the loss for the ValleyCats, and allowed eight runs (five earned) on three hits and four walks in one inning of work. Smith pitched to three batters in the top of the second inning.
Hector Perez and Edgardo Sandoval combined for 6 2/3 innings of shutout baseball, striking out seven. Josue Uribe came on to pitch the final 1 1/3 innings, allowing one run on one hit.
Stephen Wrenn reached base in all five of his plate appearances. Wrenn walked and singled twice, and led off the game with a double. Daz Cameron, who made an over the shoulder, diving catch in centerfield in the 5th inning, was 2 for 4 with two RBI.
Quick take: This one was tough to swallow. Leaving 23 men on base in unacceptable, and the nine strikeouts looking shouldn't have happened. Homeplate umpire Matt Cowan's strike zone was consistently large all night, and the 'Cats just couldn't make the adjustment. They left the bases loaded three times, including twice in the last three frames. Other than Ben Smith's rocky start, the pitching was superb. Perez and Sandoval were lights out, and Uribe only allowed a run.
Sunday, June 19 – Cyclones 2, ValleyCats 1
The 'Cats had plenty of opportunities at the plate on Sunday, but once again couldn't find the big hit.
Chuckie Robinson, the Astros 21st round selection, picked up his first professional hit and RBI, driving in Carmen Benedetti to put the ValleyCats on top 1-0 in the 7th inning.
In the bottom half of the inning, three consecutive singles by Cyclones batters gave them a 2-1 advantage. Benedetti was the only 'Cat with a multi-hit game, going 3-for-4. Ronnie Dawson, the Astros 2nd rounder from Ohio State, made his professional debut batting third as the designated hitter.
LHP Austin Nicely started for the 'Cats, and through the first four innings only allowed one hit while walking one. Erasmo Pinales came on in relief of Nicely and worked a scoreless two innings before surrendering the two runs in the seventh.
Quick take: Again, a tough loss to swallow. Nicely looked solid in an abbreviated start, and Pinales looked better than he did during the exhibition game. It's tough to win when your top four batters are a combined 1-15.
Monday, June 20 – ValleyCats 10, Cyclones 9 (17 innings)
In the top of the 17th inning, with Cyclones infielder Santo Marte on the mound for his second inning work, ValleyCats third baseman Kolbey Carpenter reached base with a two out single to left. Marcos Almonte followed up with a double to put runners on second and third, and Daz Cameron delivered a two run go-ahead single to left to give the 'Cats an 8-6 lead.
Then Stephen Wrenn launched a long two-run home run over the left field wall to extend the 'Cats lead to 10-6, which seemed at that point to be plenty of insurance runs.
At one point, ValleyCats hurlers retired 17 consecutive Cyclones batters, led by Cuban native Carlos Sierra who was perfect for 3 2/3 innings.
Stephen Wrenn went 3-for-9 for the 'Cats with four RBI, and what proved to be the game winning home run. Carmen Benedetti finished the game 3-for-8 with a double and two runs batted in. Daz Cameron also drove in a pair of runs.
Luis Ramirez (1-0) picked up the win for Tri-City, who improved to 2-2 on the young 2016 New York-Penn League season.
Quick takes: What a marathon. If you didn't get a chance to watch the last inning of this one, try to find a recording somewhere. These teams were tied at six going into the 17th inning, and exploded for seven combined runs. My MVP? Carlos Sierra. The guy was incredible in the 6+ innings he tossed, essentially making a start in the middle of the six hour game.
Tuesday, June 21 – Cyclones 8, ValleyCats 3
The 'Cats scored once in each of the first three innings, the first an RBI groundout by Marcos Almonte after a lead-off triple by Stephen Wrenn to begin the ballgame.
In the second, a Randy Cesar homer put the 'Cats up 2-0, and in the third, Astros 2016 second round draft selection Ronnie Dawson picked up his first professional home run to give the 'Cats a 3-0 lead.
Brooklyn got them all back in the bottom of the fourth off of 'Cats starting pitcher Sebastian Kessay, who allowed the three earned runs, four hits, four strikeouts and two walks in his four innings of work.
Framer Valdez came on in relief of Kessay in the fifth, and worked two scoreless innings before things unravelled for the 'Cats.
With two outs and Cyclones baserunners on first and second, back-to-back singles plated them both to give Brooklyn a 5-3 lead, and they didn't look back. Tri-City picked up just two hits through the final six innings of the ballgame.
Quick takes: Rough start for Kessay. The 'Cats should have taken advantage of a tired Brooklyn bullpen that has pitched in 64 innings in five games. Instead, it was the other way around. This is going to be a long season if the offense relies on solely the long ball to win games.
Game Two Promotional Recap

Giveaways included the first part of the All-Time Team Card Set presented by National Grid, which was handed to the first 1,500 fans through the gates. Plus, all fans received a 2016 schedule magnet presented by the Rensselaer County Department of Health.
Prior to the game, Homemade provided musical entertainment to fans waiting to enter outside the front gate. Laura Haney, the national anthem singer contest winner from Crossgates Mall, sang a beautiful rendition for the sold out crowd.
Joe Bruno, whom "The Joe!" is named after, threw out the first pitch to the 'Cats batboy Charlie with SouthPaw working as the umpire. It was a strike! Right before the ceremonial pitch, ValleyCats owner Bill Gladstone spoke to the fans, providing inspirational words to begin the 2016 season.
A group of little league ValleyCats made the trip all the way from the Burbank area of Southern California to watch Opening Night! The team met SouthPaw as they were introduced to the crowd!

Then the 'Cats took the field and played excellent. The team scored 13 runs on 14 hits, facing six Connecticut Tigers pitchers. 'Cats pitchers Akeem Bostick and Sebastian Kessay combined to allow one run on six hits, leading the team to a 13-1 victory.
Sponsors at the game included Transfinder, Frozen Ropes, UP17, New York Life, Rensselaer County Department of Health, Where Smiles Grow, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region.
Fans were treated to postgame fireworks presented by Market 32, which was a nearly 30-minute show! As is routine for 'Cats home games, two players signed autographs for fans postgame. Last night Brett Adcock and Jake Rogers signed for a few hundred adoring fans, taking photos with those who asked at the Mohawk Honda Autograph Table. Game two is tonight, June 18, with first pitch scheduled for 7 p.m. against the visiting Connecticut Tigers.
Education Day 2016 – Promotional Recap
For most students in the Capital Region, classes ended within the last two weeks. To start the summer with fun ways to connect baseball and the STEM program, the ValleyCats partnered Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Noble Gas Solutions, Transfinder and SI Group for the third annual Education Day exhibition game.
Roughly 25 schools and about 4,000 fans attended the game against the Albany Dutchmen of the Perfect Game League (a summer league for collegiate players) in the game between the two squads at "The Joe!"
Students helped SouthPaw calculate the amount of money spent on baseballs per game, amount of soda consumed by Ribbie and SouthPaw, distance travelled in a cycle, geography of the NY-Penn League and materials needed in the construction of "The Joe!"
The schools also learned about character development by joining Kristina Lachaga, Sammy Baseball, SouthPaw and friends in taking an anti-bullying peace pledge before the game. Ms. Lachaga also explained the effects of bullying and why it is necessary to speak up. Students also had an opportunity to sign the 'Cats Peace Pledge, which will be displayed at the stadium throughout the summer.
While a day of baseball is always fun, it wouldn't be a ValleyCats game without the in-between inning events. Students were randomly selected to participate in on field games like the T-Shirt toss, Spiedie's Chicken Challenge, inflatable cow pass, Pony Hops and more!
After a great day of learning and baseball, the ValleyCats are ready to kick off the regular season June 17th vs. the Connecticut Tigers. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m. with gates set to open at 6 p.m., and limited tickets are still available!
Astros Draft Report 2016
After winning five of the last six Stedler Division Championships, it's only natural for Tri-City ValleyCats fans to expect the big league club to draft well. The Astros, unlike most teams, have the luxury of taking the best available player in the 2016 MLB Draft for the first three or four rounds. This is largely because the team doesn't have any compensation picks, and there's a fairly large jump from the first selection (#17 overall) to the second round pick (#61 overall). If you're a ValleyCats fan, you certainly don't want the 'Stros to take a high school kids because they get sent straight to the Greenville Astros, and very rarely see time in Troy.
There aren't many glaring needs throughout the organization, other than maybe pitching, but you can never have enough good pitchers. Offense isn't a problem at all. Of the seven teams in the Astros organization, five finished in the top three in their league in runs scored and RBI, four in home runs, batting average and stolen bases, and SIX in the top three in walks. Pitching was a little more inconsistent last year, with three of the affiliates finishing top three in ERA and strikeouts, but three affiliates finishing in the bottom three in both of those categories as well.

*= Final numbers (Position in league)
To give you a more comprehensive grasp on what's going to go down this weekend, I asked The Crawfish Boxes Managing Editor Ryan Dunsmore to give his opinion on which players some draft pundits have picked to go to Houston.
Jordan Sheffield, Vanderbilt, RHP
Peter's take: I've seen Sheffield taken as low as 23 to the Cardinals, and as high as 17 to the Astros in mock drafts. While I think Sheffield would be a serviceable starter, there will likely be better pitchers on the board (Zeuch, Hudson, Burdi). I watched him pitch in the Cape Cod League last year, where he finished with a 5.49 ERA, and 19/15 K/BB in 20 innings of work. His ERA with Vandy this season is sub-2.50, so maybe he's turned it around.
Ryan's take: Oh look, it's another Vanderbilt starter at the top of draft boards. What a surprise? Sheffield is a bit short at 6'0" but he shows a mid-90's fastball with late movement and two good-to-plus offspeed pitches. He projects to be two or three starter in the league at his peak. He reminds of Kent Emanuel (Drafted by the Astros in 2013 out of UNC) in potential.
Zack Burdi, Louisville, RHP
Ryan's take: Zack Burdi is an interesting case. Relievers aren't taken in the first round often, but Burdi may been an exception. Burdi's fastball has been clocked at 101 MPH and he has an upper 80's slider that he mixes well. He had an impressive 15.00 K/9 and 2.33 BB/9 in college but he has only pitched 67 innings at Louisville. Basically, he could be steal if you think he's a starter — if not, he's a reach in the first round as a reliever.
Peter's take: Unlike many, I'm not opposed to taking relievers in the first round, and don't necessarily think he should be converted to a starter. Last year, he finished with a 6-1 record with nine saves and a 0.92 ERA. Over the summer, he pitched in the Cape after a stint with USA Baseball, where he went 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 13.1 innings. Like Ryan mentioned, he throws his slider very well, which makes him an extremely valuable pick in the first round.
Alex Kirilloff, OF
Peter's take: Kiriloff is an interesting prospect to follow. He's home-schooled, but still plays for his local varsity high school's baseball team, and intends to skip attending the draft to play in the Pennsylvania state quarterfinal. He's got a pretty good head on his shoulders, and the .540 batting average and 17 walks with only one strikeout this season shows he has an understanding of the zone.
Ryan's take: Alex Kirilloff is son of renowned hitting coach and Baseball 19 camp instructor Dave Kirilloff. Kirilloff is a left-handed hitting, left-handed throwing outfielder with marginal speed but solid tools otherwise. His biggest tool is his projectable raw power because of his loft off the bat and tremendous bat speed through the zone.
T.J. Zeuch, Pittsburgh, RHP
Ryan's take: T.J. Zeuch seems like the kind of player that Astros lean toward in the draft. A solid college player with a high floor. Zeuch has been stellar for the Pittsburgh Panthers in his junior season, going 6-1 with a 3.10 ERA in 10 starts last season he struck out 74 and walked 19. He sits around 92-94 with his fastball and sports a decent slider, curve combo. Zeuch has the added benefit of being 6'7″ to give hitters a tough angle to pick up pitches.
Peter's take: If Zeuch and Burdi were both available, I'd have a hard time deciding. Four of the seven Astro affiliates finished in the bottom half of their league in saves, but Ryan is correct in saying Zeuch is more of a typical Houston pick. In selecting Zeuch you're essentially sacrificing the extra 6-7 mph on the Burdi fastball, and making up for it with the Zeuch curve.
Ian Anderson, Shenendehowa High School, RHP
Peter's take: I had a chance to watch Anderson pitch for Shen in the state quarterfinal last weekend, and was impressed with his stuff. His fastball was touching 92 consistently, and his changeup was baffling hitters. Unlike most high school pitchers, though, he doesn't have a lot of innings to his name, and his twin brother has been catching him for his whole career. I'd be interested to see how he does in a different setting, but for now seems too high-risk, medium-reward.
Ryan's take: Ian Anderson, a high school pitcher out of Rexford, NY, now sports a 91-94 MPH, a mid-70's MPH curveball and a mid-80's MPH changeup. Anderson has had to battle terrible weather this season to get in front of scouts, so he may be cold-weather gem in line with Mike Trout.
Nolan Jones, Holy Ghost Prep, SS/P
Ryan's take: Nolan Jones is a left-handed hitting high school shortstop out of Langhorne, PA. He shows raw power, arm strength and quickness. He has a big frame at 6-4, 200 pounds and it lends him to moving over to third base by the time he gets to the majors.
Peter's take: Jones is a solid fielder, but also could be seen as a potential option off the mound, and that diversity should attract the Astros. Jones also showed off his athleticism on the mound at the Perfect Game National, he tossed a 1-2-3 inning, getting his fastball as high as 90 mph, and mixed in a curve as well. If the 'Stros were to take an high school player, it should be Jones.
Dakota Hudson, Mississippi St, RHP
Peter's take: With the amount of teams in need of pitching, I doubt a solid college pitcher like Hudson would be available, but if he is, the Astros should pounce. He's 9-4 for State this year, with a 2.62 ERA and only 31 earned runs allowed in 106+ innings, to go along with a 109/34 K/BB.
Ryan's take: Hudson has been solid all season long in the vaunted SouthEastern Conference. He has all the tools you want out of college pitcher: a mid-90's fastball and a nice changeup mix. I would be surprised if Hudson is there at pick No. 17, but if he is I expect the Astros to snag him.
Will Craig, Wake Forest, 1B/DH/P
Ryan's take: Craig has 60 power potential with the bat. He reminds me a bit of A.J. Reed, but he didn't seem to show the ability to stay in the field every day. Is a DH or 1B worth a top 30 pick in today's MLB?
Peter's take: I'll answer that question, Ryan, with a comment I made earlier. The Astros have the luxury to take the best player available. I had a chance to watch Craig for two summers – first in the Northwoods League in 2014, and last summer on the Cape. He's everything he's hyped up to be, and, like Jones, can pitch, but if he chooses to continue throwing, should be moved to the bullpen. If he's on the board, Houston should nab him.
Forrest Whitley, Alamo Heights High School, RHP
Peter's take: Whitley's been linked to the Astros on more than a few mock drafts, but doesn't have the pitch flexibility that other arms like Zeuch/Burdi/Hudson have.
Ryan's take: Whitley is a 6'7" flamethrower out of Alamo Heights High School in the San Antonio area. He is the trendy high upside attached to the Astros, Whitley is obvious pick if he is there at 17 and the Astros want to go the high school route. Whitley's best pitch was fastball sitting around 92-94 at the moment, he needs to work on his secondary stuff like every high school pick.

'Catcast: Episode 1
Today we're launching "'Catcast," the first of a weekly podcast series discussing the ValleyCats and the Astros organization as a whole. My first guest on the show is Matt Callahan, the General Manager of the 'Cats. We talked about the new coaching hires for the upcoming year (including some breaking news in that department), as well as the upcoming MLB Draft.
Give it a listen, and, as always, follow me on Twitter (@thefiorentino), or drop me a comment below.
Weekend Re'cat – Memorial Day
It was a busy weekend for the ValleyCats – especially Southpaw. On Saturday, some of the front office staff and Southpaw travelled to Cooperstown for the Hall of Fame Classic, featuring the Knucksies and the Wizards.
The lineups were loaded with former All-Star big leaguers, including former Astro Brandon Backe, Travis Hafner, Juan Pierre and Andruw Jones. Jerry Hairston Jr. won the Home Run Derby, and the Knucksies came away with a narrow 5-4 victory. Melvin Mora, a former Met and longtime Oriole earned Bob Feller Player of the Game honors, thanks to a pair of two-run homers. Southpaw enjoyed messing around with third base coach and Hall of Fame member Rollie Fingers.
On Monday morning, the ValleyCats staff participated in the Troy Memorial Day parade, put on by the Veterans of Lansingburgh. Southpaw rode around on his Harley all day, much to the community's amusement.
Mo' coaches, less problems
Back in October, the ValleyCats announced Lamarr Rogers would be taking over managerial duties in favor of Ed Romero, who is no longer with the Astros organization. Romero, who managed for three seasons, finished with an overall record of 134-93, including three consecutive Stedler Division titles. The team also announced the hire of first-year assistant coaches Drew French and Dillon Lawson.
Lamarr Rogers, Manager
Rogers, though new to the ValleyCats, has 23 years of baseball experience, including one with the Astros organization. Last year, he was the skipper for the Rookie Level Greenville Astros, and finished with a 34-33 record, good for second in the division, Appalachian League champs for the first time in eleven years. Rogers spent quite a few years with the St. Paul Saints Pro Baseball Club (Independent Northern League). From 1999-2003, he was the assistant and 1st base coach, and from 2004-2014, the htting coach and 3rd base coach. He helped his team to the 2004 Northern League Championship, and appeared in the playoffs seven times.
Rogers himself was a former player, originally drafted in 1992 by the Colorado Rockies in the 49th round.
He played 4 season in the Rockies organization, before being picked up by the Tigers in the '96 Rule 5 Draft. After his cup of coffe with the Tigers, he played 2 years for St. Paul Saints before becoming a coach.
In 560 professional games, Rogers hit .288 with 128 steals, but has a few accolades to his name from college as well. He graduated from Long Beach State in 1993 with a business major and a TV/broadcast communications minor. With the Dirtbags, Rogers was an All-Big West and All-Regional Selection in 1991-'92, a Cape League All-Star in 1990-'91 and a College World Series All-Star in 1991.
He was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, currently lives in Phoenix with his wife, Heather, and their four kids: Anya (16), Lamarr II (12), Cole (10) and Ava (6).
Drew French, Pitching coach
French is coming off of two seasons at Lee University (DII) as an assistant coach, and three seasons at Florida International University (DI). Prior to that, he spent four seasons at Alabama, three of which he was Director of Baseball Operations.
He also served as pitching coach Norfolk Osprey (NYCBL) from 2008-'09, and was a coach and recruiting coordinator at Concordia University, Austin from 2006-'07. French graduated from CUA in 2006 with a major in business administration, and a minor in communication. While at Concordia, he pitched and played outfield, and was a 3-time Academic All-Southwestern Conference selection.
Dillon Lawson, Hitting coach
Lawson has amassed nine years coaching collegiately, including the last four at Southeast Missouri State University.
He helped the Redhawks to two straight Ohio Valley Conference Championships, and, most notably, two top-10 D1 offenses (8th in 2014, 3rd in 2015).
Prior to Southeast Missouri, Lawson was an assistant coach at Morehead State from 2009-2012, and graduate assistant baseball coach at NAIA Lindenwood University from 2007-'09. Lawson holds a Masters' of Education, specializing in strength and conditioning, and completed his undergraduate studies at Transylvania University in 2007. In college, he was a 4-year starter, and All-Conference junior and senior year. He and his wife, Amanda Duncan Lawson, are both from Kentucky, and their son, Asa, will turn two this year.

'4 in 24' Mission Accomplished!
Another year, another '4 in 24' in the books! 2016 marked the 6th consecutive youth field renovation project where four youth ball fields were renovated in under 24 hours here in the Capital Region.
Since our inaugural season in 2002, we've been committed to being ambassadors for the game of baseball. Now in our 15th year, that mission remains stronger than ever.
The '4 in 24' youth field renovation project is a strong collaborative effort among the ValleyCats and our main partners, BlueShield of Northeastern New York and Hannaford Supermarkets. The work could not be done without their support, along with the assistance of city and league officials, and community volunteers.
This year, the four field projects we took on were Guilderland Little League, Mechanicville Stillwater Little League, Nassau Baseball Association, and Upstate Premier Baseball in Schenectady. Each presented their own challenges, but at the end of the day, the rewards outweighed them many times over.
In order to revamp four fields in less than 24 hours, it requires a lot of preparation and planning. Much of that is done by Keith Sweeney, our Stadium Operations Manager, and General Manager Matt Callahan.
Our front office is divided up into four groups, each with a team leader, and assigned to a specific field.
From there, it takes a large volunteer effort to complete the renovations. Each league has plenty of representation, city and town officials chip in their time and resources, our partners BlueShield and Hannaford send crews, and even members in and around the community offer their time to help the cause.
The efforts were also assisted by Admar Construction Equipment, The Brickman Group, Turface, and SiteOne Landscape Supplies, with these partners contributing some of the necessary equipment, materials, and volunteers.
As the morning of the renovations arrived, it was an early wake-up call for many. But none earlier than Media Relations Manager Chris Chenes, who appeared on the early morning newscast on News 10.
ValleyCats front office staff, and league/city volunteers followed shortly after, and almost everyone was present and ready to work by 7am.
By the end of the day, each field received a brand new infield playing surface, with new sod, a rebuilt pitcher's mound and home plate, and new bases set at the correct specifications. Like previously mentioned, each location presented their own twists & turns along the way, with different types of work also required. Below is a recap of each field renovation.
We'll start with a field that hadn't been utilized in over 10 years, the old Bellevue Little League on 4th Street in Schenectady. The history of that location goes all the way back to 1950, when it was first constructed. The league was largely popular, and at one point there were five major teams, which doesn't include the minor, farm, and t-ball levels.
Fast forward to the early 2000's, the numbers began to dwindle, interest in youth baseball within the community declined, and the league eventually folded. From there, the field sat untouched for over a decade. Weeds overgrew the entire field, hills and craters formed in the outfield, the dugouts, clubhouse, and concession stand buildings were covered with graffiti, and it became just a distant memory of what it had once been.
Over the past year, Dom LeMorta & Bill Creighton of Upstate Premier Baseball took over the land, and were determined to make that field their home. With the ability to bring back a diamond in the rough, for the Bellevue community, this was a no-brainer for one our '4 in 24' locations.
Prior to our renovations, Upstate Baseball & the city of Schenectady helped to tear down trees & roots along the fence line, and get rid of the weeds within the diamond. The location was now ready for the 4 in 24 renovations to begin. Here are some before photos, immediately prior to the work on Thursday.
As you can see, much work needed to be done.
When it was all said and done, the results were even greater than we could have imagined. A field that hadn't been used in 10+ years, now looked ready for baseball!
Here's our Snapchat (tcvalleycats) story chronicling the day's work!
At the other end of the spectrum, you have Guilderland Little League. With over 50 teams and 500+ players, Guilderland has one of the largest leagues in the Capital Region. They serve a vital role in their community by providing opportunities for children ages 4-12 to learn and play baseball.
The league utilizes numerous fields in Keenholts Park in Altamont, and our focus was on one that needed the most repair. President of the League's Board of Directors, Jon Phillips, says this renovation will go a long way in preparing the league for big events to be held at the complex this year.
"The Tri-City ValleyCats '4 in 24' Program comes at a great time for Guilderland Little League," Phillips said. "This support allows us to maintain some of the best athletic fields in the Capital District and will help us to prepare for upcoming showcase events the Guilderland Little League will be hosting this year such as Major League Baseball's Pitch, Hit and Run Competition on May 1st and the New York State 10 Year Old All Star Tournament in July."
Here are the before, during, and after photos of the work:
Mechanicville-Stillwater Little League was one of our other locations, a league that serves over 250 families each year throughout the Mechanicville / Stillwater communities. With one of their fields being in serious need of repair in order to maintain a safe playing surface for the many children ages 7 through 13 who utilize the field, this was another location that fit the bill for our '4 in 24.'
League president John DelBalso had this to say about the work:
"The Mechanicville Stillwater Little League is thrilled to be selected for the ValleyCats '4 in 24' program for 2016. These improvements will help to provide the best experience possible while improving the safety of the Field for the players, umpires, and coaches. The Board is grateful to have the opportunity to bring the George H. Pickett Fields up to the standard of excellence that both our players and communities deserve."
Coincidentally, the name of this field is George H. Pickett Field, the father of one of our long-time ushers, Mike Pickett!
Here are some photos prior to, during, and after the renovations.
Nassau Baseball Association was our last of the four fields, a league that has a long tradition in Rensselaer County. Established in 1956, Nassau currently serves over 130 kids and includes a scholarship program for children that may otherwise be unable to play.
Some of the main needs of this field were the transition between the infield grass and dirt, the deteriorating pitcher's mound and rubber, and the area around home plate. In order to maintain a reasonable registration cost for the families, our assistance with this project will go a long way.
Here's what President Jeff Pearce had to say about the work.
"When our league was founded sixty years ago, the goal was to bring the game of baseball to all of the children of Nassau and our surrounding communities no matter what their skill level, family income or any other situation that may prevent a child from participating. With the help of our community, volunteers and local businesses over the past sixty years we have accomplished this goal by keeping our registrations fees one of the lowest in the capital region. Over the last couple of years our field has deteriorated to the point where it has become a safety issue for the children. With the estimated field repairs way over our available budget we were going to be forced with either raising our registration fees or and risk pushing families away or keep playing on an unsafe field. With being selected for the 4 in 24 project we will now be able to keep our registration fees at an affordable rate for all families and have a safe field to play on again. We as a league and a community could not be more grateful for this opportunity."
The photos:
Lastly, the work of the '4 in 24' will be recognized during Youth Baseball Night at "The Joe" on Friday, June 24.
In closing, we'd just like to reiterate our thank you to BlueShield of Northeastern New York and Hannaford Supermarkets for their generous support of this project. Without them, this project does not get done. Also a huge thank you to all of the volunteers who helped with the hard work! Just like the game itself, it takes teamwork to get this job done.
And thank you again to Admar Construction Equipment for the heavy duty equipment, the Brickman Group for their expert field maintenance crew, and Turface / SiteOne Landscape Supplies for the mound bricks & clay, and infield conditioner.
This is by far one of our most important community initiatives of the year, as we continue to hold true to our mission of being ambassadors for the great game of baseball!
If your youth league's field is in need of repair, our Community Grounds Crew will be working on select fields throughout the spring and summer. Apply online at tcvalleycats.com/fieldrenovations.

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." – Dr. Seuss
March is Reading Awareness Month, and we're doing our part to spread the word by reading to local schools across the Capital Region. Read Across America Day was on Wednesday, March 2nd, the birth date of Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss.
Dr. Seuss, born in 1904 in Springfield, Mass., was an American writer and illustrator best known for authoring popular children's books including timeless classics such as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
We celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday by spending some time at School 16 in Troy, as SouthPaw read a few books to Mrs. Shaer's third grade class!
We make dozens of reading appearances throughout the year at local schools, libraries, and summer camps. Many of these appearances are in collaboration with the Ronald McDonald House and NY529 College Savings Program.
Each Sunday during the season, we hold a summer reading program where members of the ValleyCats team read to children prior to the ballgame. They are then given a copy of the books, which are donated by the Kiwanis Club of Troy.
Here are a few other photos from our most recent reading appearances:

The village of Tuluksak regained power early this morning after a two-day outage. It required the help of the Alaska Energy Authority to finally get the lights back on.
The lights went out in Tuluksak around 4pm Monday afternoon, when its only generator stopped running.
"The water pump overheated and stopped," says Willie Phillip.
Phillip, Tuluksak's power utility manager, says the village received another generator engine just yesterday.
That engine came from the Alaska Energy Authority's Emergency Response Program.
Sandra Moller is the Deputy Director for Rural Energy at AEA.
"And what we able to do is locate an engine for one of their generators to get it back online. We diverted one of our remote maintenance workers who was in the area. And we sent him over to Tuluksak," Moller says.
She says the Emergency Response Program was implemented for emergencies just like this one …
"Typically for when a community has basically gone dark," Moller says.
Phillip says the village's backup generators were non-functioning as well, so the new engine was vital.
"So we got it online about 2 o'clock this morning or 2:30 or somewhere around there," Phillip says.
He says after a few cold nights, Tuluksak residents were pretty happy to have the lights and heat back on.
"Calling, calling, calling me and my coworkers," Phillip says.
But, he says, the power wouldn't have come back on without help from community volunteers helping to transport and install the new engine.
The AEA may be able to help villages like Tuluksak with yet another program…
"The Rural Power Systems upgrade program. We've just completed a six or eight month process of evaluating all power plants in rural Alaska," Moller says.
She says Tuluksak and other rural villages in-need, may qualify for assistance through that program, pending legislative funding.

Importing videos into iMovie for iPad
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I really like your articles, particularly The Complete Guide to iPod, Apple TV and iPhone Video Formats. I have a few questions, however. Firstly, I'm wondering if the iPad specs are identical to the iPhone? If not, what's different?
I'm looking for a capture device OTHER THAN the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad itself to capture video that will transfer to an untethered iPad and be recognized in iPhoto so that it can be opened and edited with iPad's iMovie. Do you know of any? So far, the only way I've found to come close is to use a Sanyo VPC-PD2BK Dual Camera. It shoots good video and will export to an iPad's camera roll. However, it seems that it will not, without an extra step, be seen in iMovie. To get it to iMovie I have to send it to myself in a email, which when received will allow me to 'Save Video': this step clearly goes thru a conversion process on the iPad—you can see the progress bar! When finished, the 'converted' movie now shows up in iMovie on the iPad and can be edited. 3) Since there is a 'build-in' video conversion process in the iPad's Mail, e.g. the iOS it would be neat if Apple or some App guy would make that a feature of the iPad's iPhoto or iMovie, or even an app. Any idea where to offer such a suggestion?
- Hal
A: Although the screen resolutions are obviously different, the actual support video formats the iPad and the iPhone 4 are identical. Specifically, from Apple's iPad Specifications page:
Unfortunately, iMovie for the iPad is considerably more limited in the video formats that it supports. As Apple notes in a knowledgebase article:
Apple unfortunately does not provide any specific information beyond this on what video formats are supported by iMovie on the iPad. Some users have reported success with certain cameras such as the Flip Mino, however since Apple doesn't specifically support these, it's possible for this to break in future updates.
While not ideal, the method of converting videos yourself seems to be the best approach to take at this point. There are a number of inexpensive and/or free tools on the App Store such as Splice that can be used to do this more efficiently than having to e-mail videos to yourself. Note that in many cases the free or lower-cost versions of these apps will be more than adequate if all you need is pre-processing for iMovie.
