An aortic aneurysm is a localized widening or ballooning of the body's largest artery, the aorta. Roughly the diameter of a garden hose, the aorta is the main pathway for oxygenated blood pumped by the heart. Aneurysms can occur anywhere along the aorta, which extends out from the heart up into the chest and down into the abdomen. Approximately 15,000 Americans die annually from complications of their aortic aneurysms.
The danger of an aortic aneurysm is that, like a balloon that is overinflated, the aorta may burst, a potentially deadly situation. Aortic aneurysms can either rupture, hemorrhaging blood into the body cavity, or dissect, leaking blood into the lining of the aorta. Death from a ruptured aortic aneurysm can occur in a matter of seconds.
Although most aneurysms occur in the abdomen, those in the chest cavity are potentially more dangerous; the larger the aneurysm, the greater the risk of rupture or dissection. About one third of the people with a thoracic aortic aneurysm larger than 2.4 inches (5 cm) in diameter will die within five years from a rupture or dissection if the aneurysm is left untreated. However, rupture or dissection can be averted if the aneurysm is diagnosed and repaired, allowing most people with repaired aortic aneurysms to enjoy a normal life span.
This section contains more information on:
Need-to-know anatomy
Normally about one inch in diameter, the aorta is the main artery of the body that channels bright red, oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The wall of the aorta is elastic, consisting of three layers that stretch to accommodate the surge of blood flowing into the artery as the heart contracts. The aortic wall is lined with a thin layer of smooth cells, beyond which is a thick middle muscular layer that is surrounded by a tough outer layer of tissue.
As it passes through the chest and the abdomen, the aorta is shaped like an old-fashioned candy cane. The ascending aorta is the short section of the candy cane, emerging from the left ventricle of the heart. It extends up into the chest into the aortic arch, the U-turn of the candy cane. The aortic arch is where the aorta transitions from the front to the back of the chest and where the arteries that supply the head and upper body with blood branch off the aorta. The aorta then straightens out and descends into the abdomen.
The vessels that supply blood to the spinal column and midsection of the body branch off from the aorta along the straight section known as the descending aorta. The upper segment of the descending aorta, called the descending thoracic aorta, the aortic arch, and the ascending aorta together make up the thoracic aorta. The abdominal aorta, the section of the descending aorta below the diaphragm, eventually splits into the two iliac arteries that carry blood to the pelvis and legs.
Types of aortic aneurysms
Aneurysms can form anywhere along the aorta as either a symmetrical bulge around the aorta or an asymmetrical bleb. Fusiform aneurysms occur as a symmetrical bulge around the entire circumference of a section of the aorta. Saccular aneurysms form as a small blister or bleb on one side of the aorta. Many saccular aneurysms are either caused by trauma such as a motor vehicle accident or are the result of a penetrating aortic ulcer. Aneurysms are further classified based on their location along the aorta.
- Thoracic aortic aneurysms are those that occur along the aorta above the diaphragm, the partition between the chest and abdomen, including the ascending aorta, the aortic arch, and the descending thoracic aorta. Up to 25 percent of aortic aneurysms are thoracic; of these, ascending aortic aneurysms are the most common, followed by descending thoracic aneurysms. Aneurysms along the aortic arch are rare and are the most complex to treat, largely because the arterial branches that supply blood to the brain and upper extremities are attached along the aortic arch. Thoracic aortic aneurysms are potentially the most lethal; as many as 1 out of every 5 people die within five years if a thoracic aneurysm is left untreated. Larger aneurysms are more dangerous, because of the increased risk of rupture or dissection.
- Abdominal aortic aneurysms are located along the segment of the aorta that extends beyond the diaphragm through the abdomen. About 75 percent of aortic aneurysms are located in the abdomen. They can affect anyone, but most are associated with smoking and high blood pressure and occur primarily in men over age 60.
- Thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms span both the thoracic and abdominal segments of the aorta. These aneurysms are relatively uncommon, and treatment can require replacement of the entire aorta. This involves reconnecting critical blood vessels that branch off the aorta along the lower descending thoracic aorta and upper abdominal aorta that supply blood to the spinal cord. Repair of thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms carries a significant risk of paraplegia and requires specific surgical expertise.
Aortic dissections
Aortic dissections can cause aortic aneurysms or result from them. An aortic dissection begins with a tear through the inner layer into the middle layer of the aortic wall. This causes the layers of the aortic to separate like plywood that has been left outside in the weather.
This separation within the wall (dissection) of the aorta causes the wall of the aorta to weaken, often enlarging the aorta, forming an aneurysm. Frequently, a second tear forms farther along the aorta; that opens a path for the blood to get back into the vessel, forming a side channel for blood flow in the lining of the aorta and creating a "double-barreled" aorta.
Dissections can occur anywhere along the aorta or involve the entire aorta. Blood leaking into a dissection near the heart may cause a cardiac tamponade-a life-threatening condition where blood enters the lining around the heart, preventing the heart from filling properly. If the tear progresses completely through the aorta, death can occur in a matter of minutes.
When the aorta dissects, severe pain in the chest or back occurs, which is often described as a tearing discomfort––"the worst pain I've ever had," many patients say. This usually sends the person to the emergency room where the diagnosis can be made. If left untreated, most aortic dissections are fatal.
The risk of death depends upon the extent of the dissection. The risk is highest for dissections that involve the ascending aorta. For that reason, most aortic dissections along the ascending aorta are treated immediately with surgery. Occasionally, some specific variations of dissections along the descending thoracic aorta may be treated with medication.
Most frequently, aortic aneurysms are caused by the breakdown of the muscular layer and the elastic fibers within the wall of the aorta. The breakdown usually occurs over time, as aging takes its toll along with, in some people, prolonged high blood pressure or smoking. As the tissues of the aorta begin to break down, the aortic wall weakens, and the blood pressure within the aorta causes the wall to stretch beyond its capacity, forming an aneurysm.
Aortic aneurysms can also form suddenly, when the wall of the aorta is torn. These aneurysms are known as pseudoaneurysms because the aortic wall is not intact. Pseudoaneurysms are usually caused by trauma such as a motor vehicle accident. Less frequently, pseudoaneurysms can form because of the buildup of atherosclerotic plaque in the aorta. Atherosclerotic plaque can cause the formation of penetrating aortic ulcers, an inflammation that can penetrate the wall of the aorta, weakening it and allowing a pseudoaneurysm to form. Penetrating aortic ulcers can also lead to aortic dissections.
Risk factors
In general, aortic aneurysms occur more frequently in men and in people over age 60. Often there is a family history of aortic aneurysms or an association with bicuspid aortic valve (a congenital defect in the valve connecting the aorta to the heart), smoking, or high blood pressure. Some well-characterized genetic conditions such as Marfan syndrome are associated with a high risk of aneurysm. But sometimes there is no apparent reason for this ballooning of the aorta.
The primary risk factors for aortic aneurysms include the following.
- Prolonged hypertension. High blood pressure is the fuel of an aneurysm; having blood pressure that is not well controlled increases one's risk of developing an aortic aneurysm.
- Smoking. Smoking leads to degeneration of the elastic tissue all over the body, including that within the wall of the aorta, predisposing one to aortic aneurysm.
- Age. With time the wall of the aorta wears out; most people with aortic aneurysm are over age 40.
- Being male. Abdominal aortic aneurysms are more prevalent in men.
- Family history. Thoracic aortic aneurysms tend to run in families, so it's important to inform immediate family members of your condition so that they can discuss the need to be evaluated for aortic aneurysm with their doctors.
There are also other medical conditions that can lead to or are associated with a weakened aorta, predisposing one to developing an aortic aneurysm. These include:
- Marfan syndrome, a disorder of the connective tissue, increases the risk for aortic aneurysms.
- Bicuspid aortic valve, a congenital heart defect, predisposes one to aortic aneurysm; up to 50 percent of the people with a bicuspid aortic valve also have an ascending aortic aneurysm.
- Inflammatory diseases including giant cell arteritis, an inflammatory disease of the blood vessels, can predispose one to aortic aneurysms.
- Atherosclerosis can lead to inflammations of the aortic wall known as penetrating aortic ulcers, which can cause an aortic aneurysm and/or dissection.

If you think the next week is all about art, you may be surprised to learn there are also six entrepreneurship events vying for your time.
And that is all by design.
In much the way that Art Basel helped put Miami's arts community on the international map, organizers of the first Innovate MIA hope their weeklong grouping of events will shine a light on the city's growing tech startup community and its position as the gateway to Latin America.
Many of the events — ending with Florida International University's Americas Venture Capital Conference — are after Art Basel. That's also why the third annual AVCC was moved to Dec. 13-14 from its previous mid-November dates.
"Our message is come for Art Basel, and stay for AVCC," said Juan Pablo Cappello, a lawyer, entrepreneur and investor who is on the steering committee of the venture capital conference and several other Innovate MIA events. And all week, there will be plenty of opportunities for Miami's entrepreneurs, creatives and investors to mingle with their counterparts from all over the Americas and beyond.
In addition to the AVCC, there's Incubate Miami's DemoDay, where its class of startups present their companies, the martial arts-inspired TekFight and HackDay, which dangles a $50,000 cash prize. Endeavor, the global nonprofit that promotes high-impact entrepreneurship in emerging economies, is bringing its two-day International Selection Panel to Miami, and Wayra, an international accelerator, is holding a one-day event to showcase its promising startups from Latin America and Spain. It's all part of Innovate MIA week: "I don't think anything like it has ever been organized here in South Florida," Cappello said.
The AVCC will be the big draw, with about 300 people expected to attend the two-day event at the JW Marriott Brickell. The conference, themed "Data, Design & Dollars," will feature thought leaders from all over the world, particularly Latin America, and presentations by 29 selected companies. This year, the format has been overhauled and energized, with lots of short talks and more time for question-and-answer sessions and networking, said Jerry Haar, associate dean of FIU's College of Business, director of the Pino Global Entrepreneurship Center and AVCC co-chair.
The AVCC's 36 speakers include Martin Varsavsky, Argentine tech entrepreneur, investor and founder of Viatel, Ya.com, Jazztel and FON; Hernan J. Kazah, co-founder and managing partner at Kaszek Ventures and co-founder of Mercadolibre; and Jason L. Baptiste, CEO and co-founder of Onswipe. There's also Michael Jackson, former COO of Skype and now a venture capitalist; Albert Santalo, founder and CEO of Miami-based CareCloud; and Bedy Yang of 500 Startups.
Chosen from more than 100 applicants, the 29 presenting companies hailing from all over the Americas will be giving either two-minute or five-minute pitches, fielding questions from a panel of judges and competing for prize packages valued at about $50,000. Eight of the startups are from South Florida: itMD, Kairos, Trapezoid Digital Security, Esenem, LiveNinja, OnTrade, Rokk3r Labs and Zavee.
The presenting companies have "proven innovation, proven management teams and the ability to scale well and be a pan-regional player," said Faquiry Diaz Cala, president of Tres Mares Group and co-chair of AVCC. "The word is out this is a great place to come and pitch to great investors in addition to potentially being one of the prize winners."

"When am I?" -- John Locke's chronological confusion sums up Season 5, which hopscotches dizzyingly between the 1970s and 2008 as it charts the Oceanic Six's return to the island and reveals important island secrets. On the island, Locke (Terry O'Quinn) is the new leader of the Others. But in L.A., he's dead, and his death plays a key role in getting Jack (Matthew Fox), Kate (Evangeline Lilly), Hurley (Jorge Garcia) and Sun (Yunjin Kim) to return via Ajira Airways. Sayid (Naveen Andrews) refuses to join his fellow former castaways, but winds up being escorted onto the Guam-bound flight by a bounty hunter named Ilana (Zuleikha Robinson). Ben (Michael Emerson) must return, too, to face judgment for allowing his daughter Alex to die. Their flight -- with Frank Lapidus (Jeff Fahey) at the controls -- is a bumpy one, but the final destination is indeed the island. Ben, Sun, Ilana and Frank remain fixed in time upon their return to the island, but Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sayid are flashed back in time to 1977, where they are reunited with Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell). After surviving a series of time-travel flashes, Sawyer and Juliet landed in the 1970s and forged a close relationship with each other and the Dharma Initiative, which also welcomes Miles Straume (Ken Leung). Meanwhile, Miles' colleague Daniel Faraday (Jeremy Davies) embarks on a time-traveling mission that introduces him to a nuclear bomb named Jughead and a young woman named Ellie. Both play prominent roles as the season progresses. ~ Paul Droesch, Rovi

A passenger jet breaks apart in mid-air, crash-landing on a tropical island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Left without the creature comforts and basic necessities of civilization, the 48 survivors are forced to rely upon one another to stay alive -- and given the personality quirks of these survivors, this won't be easy during the first season of the ABC hit series Lost. Generally with the help of flashbacks, viewers learn a number of deep dark secrets about the castaways on a need-to-know basis, especially the demons plaguing Dr. Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox) and one-hit-wonder rock star Charlie Pace (Dominic Monaghan). Every so often, a crisis arises for the principal purpose of revealing a hitherto unknown and unsuspected aspect of one of the characters. Inevitably, hostilities both minor and serious arise from the basic fundamental differences among the survivors: Korean couple Jin and Sun Kwon (Daniel Dae Kim, Yunjin Kim) are unable to uphold their family traditions under the circumstances, while their inability to speak English creates an additional barrier between themselves and the others; and the MacGyver-like resourcefulness of former Iraqi Republican Guard Sayid (Naveen Andrews) is not enough to overcome the racism of some of his fellow passengers. Then there is the unfriendly aura of the island itself, with its inscrutable topography, and the bizarre menagerie of wild animals, ranging from a polar bear to a (possible) dinosaur! Also, the discovery in one episode of two long-dead bodies certainly does nothing to uplift the rescue hopes of the hapless survivors. And finally, there seems to be someone else on the island...someone not on the passenger list...someone who kidnaps two of the castaways and threatens to kill off the rest one by one. The one overriding question near the end of season one is: who among the "major" characters will not make it to season two? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Angel: City of
In the premiere episode of this spin-off from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy's ex-boyfriend, Angel (David Boreanaz), the vampire with a soul, relocates to Los Angeles and finds a new purpose in life. Shortly after the events of Buffy's "Graduation Day, Part Two," Angel prowls the clubs of Los Angeles to kill vampires, let off steam, and drown his sorrows. He soon meets Doyle (Glenn Quinn), a half-human, half-demon representative of The Powers That Be. Doyle informs Angel that he must become a helper of the helpless, using the visions that the Powers send to Doyle as his guide. Angel's first assignment is to help Tina (Tracey Middendorf), a would-be actress who is being harassed by rich vampire Russell Winters (Vyto Ruginis). In the course of trying to do so, Angel bumps into Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter), another recent Sunnydale transplant, would-be actress, and target of Russell's bloodlust. After Angel saves Cordelia from the fiend, she decides to become Angel's assistant and set up Angel Investigations, a paranormal private-eye business, as a front for their activities. "City of" originally aired on the WB network on October 5, 1999. To introduce non-Buffy watchers to their main character and his backstory, series creators Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt used flashback clips from the earlier show to illustrate a scene in which Doyle plays "This is Your Life" with his new partner. In addition to introducing Doyle and The Powers That Be, "City of" marks the first appearance of Wolfram & Hart, the demonic law firm that would become a recurring nemesis for the title character. Although he's never named in this episode, attorney Lindsey McDonald (Christian Kane) also appears. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Two lifelong friends are forced to choose between peaceful forgiveness and carrying a deadly grudge in a sprawling tale of old west vengeance starring Lost's Josh Holloway. Pal Grisham (Holloway) and his best-friend Bobby Ray Burns (Channon Roe) blazed a violent path out of Cherub, Texas that would instantly bond the pair for life. Their powerful connection is soon severed, however, when one of the men commits a crime that sharply divides the pair for over three decades. Now, as Pal and Bobby Ray return home after not seeing one another for more than thirty years, both men will find themselves faced with one of the most difficult decisions that have ever had to make. Whether they choose the gun or brotherhood, neither Pal nor Bobby Ray will never be the same again. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Situated in the heart of Lake County, in central Florida, Eustis is a quaint lakefront community with pristine natural resources. This family-friendly town boasts an energetic downtown center, high-quality neighborhoods, and ideal weather year-round. Residents living in Eustis apartments for rent often have a very active lifestyle because of the countless opportunities for outdoor recreation. This city is also home to a thriving arts and culture community because of its ideal atmosphere for small business success. Eustis residents and officials are dedicated to a green lifestyle and well-maintained landscapes, and the various walking paths and trails add to the natural beauty. According to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, roughly 18,800 people call Eustis home.
Established in 1883, Eustis began to prosper through the citrus and tourism industries. After railroads become a popular form of transportation, more people began to travel to the community, and tourism is still a major component of the economy today.
Because of its location, Eustis is a perfect spot to open a business or to easily commute for employment. The highway network nearby includes U.S. 441, Interstates 4 and 75 and the Florida Turnpike. The city is also only a short drive away from Leesburg Regional Airport and about an hour away from Orlando International Airport. This lends to the strong economy in the city that gives residents in Eustis rentals plenty of job opportunities. Some of the top industries include Florida Food Products, Service Trucking, U.S. Nutraceuticals, AgriStarts and Mercer Products Inc.
Residents in Eustis are proud of the tight-knit community of the town, and they celebrate with several events every year. One of the most beloved events is Light Up Eustis, a tradition that began in 1987. Georgefest is another big event, which began in 1902.

BP Comment Quick Links
What I like about Ross is how few home runs he gives up in addition to his good control/command profile.
Why is Leonys Martin not considered a prospect?
Service time, more then 45 days on the 25 man roster. I guess BP goes strictly by the rookie rule while most prospect lists just use AB & IP.
"more then"? Someone ban me. Wish this thing had an edit or delete button.
Rougned Odor also has a 7 'name' tool.
6 of 10 acquired as international free agents--Jason, any insight into what the new CBA is going to do the the Rangers' development process long-term? Still think they'll be able to be successful because of their deep roots in the market?
I think they will be able to locate and acquire talent, but the new CBA sucks for a team like the Rangers, especially in the LA market. It not only limits one of baseball's most talent-rich environments, but it punishes teams for being successful. I'm not a fan.
Profar a better hit tool than Taveras? Blasphemy.
Any thoughts on Hanser Alberto? Just not good enough to make the cut?
I took a lot of criticism a few years ago when I suggested Alberto had one of the best hit tools in the Rangers system. He does. He can play on the left-side of the infield, although he's not on the same defensive level as guys like Profar, Sardinas, Marte, or Garcia. He isn't a burner, but he can run and he's a smart all-around ball player. I like Hanser a lot. He's not going to crack the top ten in a system like this, especially with a utility/second-division ceiling, but he looks like a future major leaguer in some form.
Forgive me if this has been answered before (possibly many times), but Parks, can you give a bit of a run-down on how the 20-80 scale for starting pitchers relates to your "3rd starter" etc. projections?
#3 starter would be a 55 on the 20/80 scale; possibly a 60 depending on the player. It's an above-average to plus role projection.
Where's the love for Wilmer Font ?
Parks can answer this as well. But in a system with so many high ceiling guys, it's just more difficult to put a relief profile prospect on the list. I think Font can be a late-innings guy, but it's no sure thing. While the secondaries improved a bit late last year, they're still both below-average and far behind his fastball. The fastball is a beast though, sitting mid-90s and touching upper with some weight to it. Especially coming from his frame.
So Alfaro would be Jason's pick to be this years awesome riser in the mold of Taveras? Or is he that far away and 100% tools at this point?
He's far away; extreme risk. But I love the tools and the upside.
Also, due to the fast that he's trying to develop behind the plate, I'm not sure we're going to see one total breakout season from Alfaro. I think the biggest thing is just showing consistent all-around development. Although, with the talent in his bat, you never really know.
While reading this list... it moved.... on more than one ocassion.
I had high expectations when we were told Jason was taking over this series. He, and the rest of the BPers that put in work on the prospect end, have exceeded those expectations. Well done.
Many thanks.
How close was Luke Jackson to cracking the top 10? I always figured he had a nice, fun ceiling due to the FB.
He wasn't close.
It's likely a sign of how deep this system is, but I would love to see the BP team's thoughts on David Perez, Will Lamb, Yohander Mendez, and Matt West (I know he came back from TJS last year). Jason was quite high on them in his TFR articles.
My personal Rangers top 50 this year had David Perez 48th, Will Lamb unranked (51-60 range), Yohander Mendez 27th, and Matt West 32nd. Both Perez and West had Tommy John surgery late-to-mid summer last season and will miss the vast majority of 2013 (if not all of it). Perez has been a frustrating mystery. He was so, so good at extended spring in 2011. We're talking down in the zone and throwing strikes at 92-96, touching 98 from a 6'5" frame. Spinning a potential plus curveball on top of that. Then (and I think a lot of this was mental), he simply struggled to repeat his delivery, the velocity dipped, and he was throwing balls to the backstop last season. There's still time to turn it around, but he's a puzzle right now. West looked like he was on the fast track to the big leagues in 2011, filling the strike zone with a consistent mid-90s fastball and plus slider. He came down with the elbow troubles last spring, tried to ride it out, and just couldn't in the end. Interested to see if he's able to step back on the mound with that type of stuff in 2014. During his debut summer in 2011, Lamb threw his fastball up to 97 mph and sat anywhere between 88-95. The secondaries were raw but the fastball (especially from a lanky 6'6" body) was extremely impressive from the left side. Lamb's velocity dipped quite a bit last season; he was anywhere between 84-93 in starts for me. He shows a feel for pitching though. I'm not sure he'll ever add much to that slim frame, but I do wonder if the velocity can come back in a bullpen role, which is where he always likely projected anyway. Mendez is one of the system's better projection arms. Up to 92 after signing in 2011, he was more 86-89 last summer but showed feel for a potential wipeout changeup. He needs to add muscle for durability and to improve the velocity, but he's absolutely worth watching. He'll make his state-side debut this year.
"Leonys Martin has too much service time to qualify." Can you clarify how much he has and what your cutoff is? Baseball Reference shows his service time as 0.113 and he has 60PA/54AB at the ML level. Thanks.
sorry...missed this question earlier
45 days not including DL time or September time. Basically, 45 days on the active 25 man roster.
With so many prospects likely losing their prospect status this year due to service time, do you expect the Rangers to have a top system in 2014, or will they be hurt by lower draft positions, the new CBA and multiple graduations?
Depends on what the low-level (high risk/high ceiling) players do in 2013. I will assume the system takes a hit, but with all that talent, other prospects could step up to take their place.
CJ Edwards was a theft in the 48th round. How have his secondary pitches looked? Was he close to the list?
He's top 20, but he wasn't in the discussion for the top ten. Very promising arm; easy delivery; plus FB velo; shows feel for very good CB; good overall feel for pitching. Even if he doesn't throw another pitch in the minors he was a steal. The fact that he is a legit prospect is beyond a draft theft in that round.
If Profar or Manny Machado open the season with the big clubs playing 2B and 3B respectively, are there any concerns about how this may affect their development as shortstops? Would that evaluation depend solely on the player or do you have any broader thoughts on temporarily moving a highly regarded prospect for an incumbent vet?
I think playing the game at the highest level, regardless of primary position, has more benefit than any potential position specific developmental regression that might occur. You can't simulate the action of the majors in the minors. If they have the talent, they should be fine. It's not like they can't take reps or simulations at the position.
Top 5 farm Professor? Or 6-10 range?
Top 5 for me. We haven't debated it yet, though.
He's probably outside of the scope of this list, but since my brother always asks about him (they played legion ball together), I figure now is the time. Jared Hoying: any shot?
Sure. He has a major league projection. It's most likely a bench OF, but he's a prospect.
I realize the power tool is a bit vague, perhaps even for scouts but 20+ homers from a 5+ power tool surprises me a little. Is this 'close' to accurate?: Power 20: Almost never homers, maybe a few in a career. 30: Rarely homers, maybe a few a year. 40: Weak power, 3-8 a year. 50: Avg. power, 10-15 a year. 60: 15-22 a year. 70: 22-28 a year. 80: 30+ a year. Just trying to get a rough gauge. Thanks in advance, Jason/BP.
Power: 80: 39+ 70: 32-38 60: 25-32 50: 17-25 40: 11-17 30: 5-11 20" Up to 5
Wow, thank you very much Jason. Your hard work both impresses and endears BP subscribers.
I greatly appreciate that. The MiLB team tries to bring it with every project.
Gallo sounds remarkably like Russell Branyan, fitting perhaps since Russell has finally stopped fanning the diamond seats with his swings.
There have been some loose comps from scouts to Adam Dunn thrown around. Big guy, lefty bat. Gallo probably won't stick at third base. Massive raw power with a feel for the strike zone but a 40/45 hit tool. Of course, Gallo has a long way to go before he can actualize the hit tool like that, but the raw talent and ceiling profile is pretty similar to Dunn. I think Gallo will be a bit thicker than Branyan at full maturity (probably not much though), but production-wise, he certainly could end up as that type of guy.
Hey BP, your prospect guys are HUNGRY for baseball. I've never had such a pleasant, polite and profession approach to answering questions. I'd recommend buying out all three years of arbitration of these guys and at least their first two years of free agency as well. Save some money now!
Really appreciate the kind words! Thanks!
The loaded nature of this list explains why the Angels have, at best, drawn even with Texas thru FA
Reports of Texas' demise have been greatly exaggerated
If he reaches his ceiling, which is quite a big if for an 18 year old who has never played A ball, isn't Guzman the second coming of John Olerud?
I don't think Guzman is ever going to hit .350 or .360-plus in a season. Ha. But when you look at Olerud's career line – .295/.398/.465 – I think that actually could be a somewhat realistic ceiling for Guzman. Perhaps not quite that high on the BP or OBP but it's a six potential hit tool with an advanced feel for the strike zone. The defense is a bit of a question as well. Obviously Olerud was a very fine defender at first base. Guzman is still somewhat new to the position but made strides there last year. I think he's a good enough athlete there. Looking forward to seeing his D over the next couple years.
This was supposed to be a reply to morocco13 but I messed it up. Also meant "BA," not "BP." Solid job, Cole.
That might not have happened if you could edit your comments. Maybe you can talk to someone at BP about it? :)
What's your opinion and ceiling on Phil Klein?

'The ALOHA Candidate'
Why did Dennis Kucinich return to Maui? And why is America's most liberal Denocrat running for president again?
by By Anthony Pignataro
write the author
September 20, 2007
Dennis John Kucinich likes Maui. "I've been here at least once a year for the last five years," Kucinich said during a visit last weekend. "There's something very special about Maui that lends itself to creating a new world."
Of course, except for the delicate lei wrapped around his neck, his pin-stripe shirt and dark blue trousers looked way more Washington, D.C. than Wailuku. But can you really expect a visiting presidential candidate—even one as radical as U.S. Congressman Kucinich (D, Cleveland)—to dress down in front of a crowd of fans?
In this time of perpetual, unending "War on Terror," Kucinich—a longtime vegan, organized labor advocate and unapologetic leftist—has positioned himself as America's premier peace activist. Referring to himself as "The Aloha Candidate" during a Sept. 14 KHNL interview, Kucinich and his wife Elizabeth have been touring Hawai'i. Last weekend, they made a few stops on Maui, appearing at a rally, press conference and a couple fundraisers.
There are few more polarizing presidential candidates out there than Dennis Kucinich, though even today, few have heard of him. Dubbed "the one percent candidate" in 2003 by reporter Charles Bowden in the progressive magazine
Mother Jones
("He's a vegan and of course, no vegan can be elected president," Bowen pointed out with more than a little sarcasm), Kucinich seems forever banished to the wings of the electoral stage.
His MySpace page currently lists 31,234 friends, including musicians Avril Lavigne, Ani DiFranco and Willie Nelson—popular names, sure, but hardly those political analysts associate with future presidents. And though he gets considerable TV time (he's a favorite whipping boy of
Fox News
in general and Sean Hannity in particular), Kucinich never came close to beating John Kerry—or Howard Dean, John Edwards, Wesley Clark, Joe Lieberman, Bob Graham or Richard Gephardt, for that matter—in the race for the 2004 Democratic nomination.
Hardship and Kucinich are old friends. When he was in the sixth grade, he spent five months—including Thanksgiving and Christmas—in an orphanage. Before he got elected to office, he worked as a caddie, sportswriter and municipal court clerk. He first won elected office at the age of 23 and became mayor of Cleveland at 31—the youngest person ever to run a major American city—then lost the job four years later after the city slid into bankruptcy, which voters blamed (unfairly, as it turned out) on his refusal to privatize the city's power utility.
Elected to the U.S. Congress in 1996, his financial disclosure forms show him to be one of the least wealthy representatives. Journalists repeatedly call him "diminutive" (he's five-foot-seven), "Dennis the Menace" and, most unfairly, "unelectable." When he ran for president in 2004, he won Maui County in the Hawai'i Democratic Party Caucuses and not much else.
While preparing for this story, I told four people I know—all young, educated and liberal—that I was going to write about Kucinich's visit. Two had only a vague notion of who Kucinich was, and the other two had never heard of him at all, though one brightened when she heard he's a vegan.
Sept. 14, 2007. 1:53 p.m.
Akaku Studios, Kahului
Billed as a live, televised press conference, there seem to be more activists in the audience than members of the press (confession: office work prevented me from attending, but I was able to email a few questions to producer Dave Coennen and watch the event on Akaku). Supposed to start at 1:15 in the afternoon, Kucinich was late coming from a Democratic Party luncheon, and the thing didn't get started until nearly 2 p.m.
Now I've seen Kucinich talk many times on C-Span, Fox News and when he campaigned on Maui three years ago, but until the press conference I'd forgotten how utterly depressing his uncompromising view of America and its troubles can be.
"[I'm] rejecting war as an instrument of policy," he said after describing all the things he'd do to end U.S. involvement not just in Iraq, but in all wars, counter-insurgency and counter-terrorist operations everywhere throughout the world. He even advocated ordering "the mercenaries"—private contractors—home and paying reparations to the Iraqi people.
To Kucinich, the U.S. is an empire—the most economically and militarily powerful in history—irrespective of President Bush's endless rhetoric about bringing democracy and freedom to the world. Kucinich wants nothing less than to break the back of the Pentagon's control over the nation's foreign policy.
Since presidential campaigns have historically played on Americans' desire for fantasy—such as Ronald Reagan's many references, drawn from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, to the nation being a "shining city on a hill"—Kucinich's repeated denouncing of American firepower and blood-letting can make for poor politicking. That he's 100 percent correct is irrelevant—everywhere Kucinich goes he mentions that he was the first and, initially, only U.S. Congressman to vote against Bush's invasion of Iraq. Even given the chaos and quagmire that grips us in that bloody country now, Kucinich is barely registering at the polls.
Perhaps his wife can help. Back in 2004, Kucinich ran for president as a bachelor. But two years ago, he married the British-born Elizabeth Harper just a few months after meeting her (it's her first marriage, his third).
In a May 20 profile, the Rupert Murdoch-owned
Sunday Times
in London breathlessly reported that Kucinich's wife is six feet tall, 31 years younger than her husband, has a master's degree in international relations and sports a tongue stud. "I knew at once I really wanted to marry this man," she told the paper. "When you know it, why hang around?"
She is a striking woman with pale white skin and fire-red hair. I first saw her while watching a
Daily Show
bit in which Jon Stewart pointed out how the program director of a recent Democratic presidential candidates' debate was obviously smitten with her, panning the camera to her first for reaction shots after Kucinich had answered a question, but then repeatedly returned to her face, even when other candidates were speaking.
Kucinich and his wife sat close together during the Akaku press conference. Much of the time, they held hands, which the camera focused on now and then. "We need to stop meddling [in the world] and undermining democracy," she said at one point, speaking in a measured, careful tone. "There is great hope in the world—we just need a leader to take us there."
7:43 p.m.
Maui Community College, Pa`ina Food Court
As Kucinich slowly walked among the couple hundred people seated in the college's cafeteria, talking in a slow, soft cadence without notes, I was struck by how much he reminded me of one of those self-help gurus you see on PBS during pledge drives. His words were lofty, even New Ageish.
"[War is] a disconnection from our higher potential," he told the mostly hippie crowd. "A misunderstanding of our higher purpose."
People nodded as Kucinich began using phrases like "the imperative of human unity" and "exploring the interior geography of self." There are few places in the U.S.—even including Cleveland—where Kucinich can talk like this in public without getting scoffs, guffaws and outright cries of "Commie!" But this is Kucinich's ideological base. The Maui residents packed in the Pa'ina Food Court are true believers—for them, Congress needs to impeach President Bush and get out of Iraq RIGHT NOW THIS SECOND. Don't even ask them what they think of attacking Iran.
When Kucinich came to his trademark line, "It's not just the war in Iraq we must end—we must end the use of war as an instrument of policy!" the food court erupted in applause. As though he was feeding on the reaction, Kucinich's cadence increased dramatically.
"So many Americans have bought into this war on terror," he said. "[We must] reject the fear that has been dropped over this country like some kind of dark cloth I'm talking about an America that can be free of the violence [and] reconnect with the world community."
As he often tells his audience (he mentioned it all three appearances I witnessed during his visit), Kucinich was the earliest voice in Congress denouncing Bush's invasion of Iraq. He wants all the troops out now—not redeployed to Kuwait or Afghanistan, but out of the Middle East entirely—and he's the only Democratic presidential candidate currently advocating such a move.
In addition, he wants "the abolition of all nuclear weapons"—a position also not shared by his fellow Democratic candidates. Kucinich wants no more Halliburton contracts, private mercenary corporations or secret assassination plots against accused terrorists. In fact, Kucinich wants nothing less than to "create a world where children don't have to worry about perishing in one of these wars based on fear."
Progressives (those on the right call them "socialists") have not done well in American presidential politics pushing these kinds of messages. In 1972, as the Vietnam War was winding down, Senator George McGovern lost a bid to unseat Richard Nixon by one of the largest margins in history. In 1948, embattled President Harry S. Truman beat back former Vice President Henry Wallace, who told the voters the cold war would lead to a "century of fear."
Still, Kucinich plowed on during his MCC appearance, rattling off positions would make even a moderate's head spin:
A "not-for-profit" health care system in which the federal government pays for all medical care. ("This is a racket!" he said, referring to the current system based on HMOs, pharmaceutical corporations and private hospitals. "It's time that we ended it and reclaimed the health of this nation!")
Immediate impeachment hearings against President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. ("Our constitution must be redeemed as a sacred text that binds us as a nation," he said.)
Focusing prison incarceration on rehabilitation instead of punishment, and giving ex-cons who've paid their debt to society "the chance to vote again."
The last point is as radical as they come in American politics, despite the fact that 20 nations—including Canada and Israel—actually allow felons to vote while they're still in prison. But in purely political terms, the issue is pure gold for Democrats, since most political analysts agree ex-cons would overwhelmingly vote Democratic. In fact, in their the recent book
Locked Out: Felon Disenfranchisement and American Democracy
, researchers Jeff Manza and Christopher Uggen claim that had the state of Florida allowed ex-cons who already served their prison terms to vote during the 2000 election, Al Gore would have taken the state by 30,000 votes, won the electoral college and been elected president.
Sept. 15, 9:01 a.m.
Maui Time offices, Wailuku
Kucinich in many ways is like the movie
. The film shows the tumultuous, violent career of General George S. Patton during World War II so well that both war-mongers and pacifists love it.
I was reminded of this while checking my email. One of this morning's messages, sent anonymously, contained nothing more than a link to the web address www.kucinich.com. Clicking it, I was presented with the word "TRAITOR" printed in bold red letters across a picture of a smiling Kucinich. Below that was another link, this time to a You Tube video.
Running about eight minutes, the video—posted Sept. 15 by Rightangleblog, which bills itself as "the most popular conservative blog in Ohio"is an obviously edited version of a recent interview with Kucinich in Syria. During the interview, Kucinich talks about a recent talk he had with Syria's President Bashar al-Assad about Iraq and the chance for Middle Eastern peace.
"I believe that Syria has a very important role to play in bringing about stability," Kucinich told the unidentified interviewer, who spoke with a thick British accent. "The United States must end the occupation [of Iraq], close the bases and bring the troops home."
From the video, it's hard to tell exactly what was "traitorous" about the interview. The fact that he wants to end the war in Iraq? His willingness to treat Syrian President Assad like just another world leader? His use of the word "refugee" to describe the million and a half Iraqis who fled to Syria to escape the war? Or the fact that he has the temerity to say all this in Syria—a country the Bush Administration considers friendly to terrorists?
In fact, there's actually little in the interview that's different from Kucinich's standard stump speech on the war. Kucinich could have shown the video at the MCC gathering the night before, and it's likely the crowd would have given him a standing ovation.
11:02 a.m.
Queen Ka`ahumanu Center, Kahului
Over the weekend, it's gradually dawned on me that there might be a reason for Kucinich's tremendous national unpopularity beyond his uncompromising left-wing views. His appearance on the stage at today's Stand for Children Rally at the Queen Ka'ahumanu Center only reinforced that view.
In terms of appearances by the candidate, this one barely qualifies, since Kucinich and his wife only spent about five minutes on stage. But in that time, Kucinich referred to three separate pieces of legislation he'd introduced or co-sponsored in the last few years.
At various times in his remarks, Kucinich told the mostly local crowd of about 50 that he'd authored a bill calling for "universal pre-kindergarten," introduced HR 676, which calls for universal, not-for-profit healthcare and sponsored HR 808, which would establish a federal Department of Peace. He said the crowd should support Maui Family Support Services (the rally's sponsor), but gave no reason why or described what they do, and soon after left the stage.
Kucinich had been making various references to specific bills and policies all weekend. He brought up HR 676 during the KHNL interview Friday morning. During the Akaku press conference, in response to a question from Akaku CEO Jay April on how best to protect public access to the airwaves, Kucinich said he wanted to "go back to the spirit of the Federal Communication Act of 1934." At MCC, he referred to HR 333 (impeaches Vice President Cheney), the aforementioned HR 676 and, in response to a question from a man who said he was a reformed drug addict suffering from mental illness, "The Mental Health Parity Act of 2007."
This tactic—answering emotional or even moral questions with references to arcane pieces of legislation—is very common among Democratic candidates. But according to the recent book
The Political Brain
by psychologist Drew Westen, it's an e-ticket to disaster.
Westen's book is white-hot among Democratic Party officials and Washington insiders these days, and it's easy to see why. Westen's thesis is that voters make their decisions based on emotional instead of rational criteria. To use a simplistic but easily remembered example, given a choice between a tough-talking, smirking quasi-cowboy who looks to his "heart" to make decisions (George W. Bush) and a Boston Brahmin who speaks in vague terms about the value of "public service" while ignoring sleazy television ads calling him a coward and traitor (John Kerry), voters will choose the cowboy every time, even if they disagree with his politics.
The reason, according to Westen, is simple: the cowboy more closely resembles a human being. "We do not pay attention to arguments unless they engender our interest, enthusiasm, fear, anger, or contempt," Westen wrote. "We are not
by leaders with whom we do not feel an emotional resonance."
Candidates don't build up emotional resonance with voters by quoting legislation. They do so by talking about their own experiences and feelingsby talking to voters the way one person talks to another.
When asked about the nation's dire healthcare crisis, Kucinich could have described his youth, when he was so poor he sometimes slept in the car. Or when the mental health question came up, he could have described hospitals he'd toured or patients he'd met.
By my count, in all of Kucinich's public appearances on Maui, he made just one emotionally resonating reference, and it was at MCC, where the crowd was so sympathetic they would have cheered him if he started reading names out of the phone book. Talking about the need to move America away from seeing military force as a solution to international crises, he spoke of a trip he and his wife took last year to Lebanon, which was still reeling from a brief but ferocious war with Israel.
"We saw tens of thousands of structures flattened just demolished," he said. "Most of the arms [used by the Israelis] were purchased, or given, by the United States. And people were aware of it."
Kucinich said he and his wife traveled to a village one night that was so dark the only illumination came from his car's headlights. The town square, he said, was now "a makeshift grave." A sign placed on some rubble read, "America, this is your democracy."
Stunned at the sight of one young boy's grave, Kucinich said he was comforted by one resident who, a few moments later, pointed out the graves of his entire family—killed, he said, in a bombing attack on the village.
There's no way to know if a Kucinich campaign focused on personal, emotional stories like that would win votes in moderate, middle America. Given the fact that voters twice elected George W. Bush despite his fundamentalist Christian, right-wing politics that lie far outside the mainstream of America, it certainly couldn't hurt to try.

Hotel Tonight for iPhone and iPad review
Hotel Tonight is an iPhone and iPad app that offers awesome last-minute deals on hotels in 12 countries and over 80 destinations. It features a gorgeous design that does a great job of showing off the amenities of the hotels.
Instead of a boring list of locations with just text and maybe thumbnails, Hotel Tonight features long strips of beautiful photos to represent each location, and when you tap on a location, the list of available hotels are displayed as little stacks of photos.
When viewing a hotel, a collage of photos of the destination are displayed. You can scroll around indefinitely to view all the photos in different sizes, or tap on an image to view them full screen.
I recommend not browsing through Hotel Tonight unless you're actually in need of a hotel; otherwise, be warned that you may fall prey of the gorgeous presentation and plan a last minute getaway.
The good
- Gorgeous design
- Exclusive low prices on incredible hotels
- Same-day, fast and easy bookings until 2am
- Great deals each night in a growing list of cities
- Book for multiple nights
- Deal selection is limited so they can negotiate with hotels to get you the best rates possible
- 24/7 real-person customer support via phone or email.
The bad
- Crashes often
The bottom line
If you're planning a last minute trip somewhere, Hotel Tonight is a fantastic app for booking your hotel. They have a good range of average to upscale hotels to fit any budget.

Love this app! Used it for a night stay in Chicago. Quick and easy to book and I even had a $25 credit so my room ended up being super cheap! Definitely recommend it!
Wow! I will have to check this app. I have many friends that look for rooms in different cities all the time. I never understand why they don't book in advance. This will definitely help! Thanks for the review!
Awesome APP for people who are on the go, plan last minute trips, who forget to book a hotel, who need a staycation, or who just want to save money !!
Use Promo Code GEDRA for $25 off your first booking, so then you save even more !!
Awesome App!! I love that you can see the EXACT hotel you're booking... and all of it's amenities with pictures! (Even the pet policies are listed, which is a huge plus for a dog parent!) I've used it a couple times and have had great rooms every time. Hello, $25 to stay in Vegas last minute? Some hotels even let you book multiple days! I've also stayed at the Red Lion on the River in Portland for only $66 using this! PLUS, They even give you $25 off your first booking... Use the promo code: CCOOLIDGE3 to get $25 off!

Summary: Provocative, outrageously profane and surprisingly tender amidst an explosion of unbridled testosterone, "44 Inch Chest" explores the masculine ego at breaking point, testing whether fear is stronger than love. Colin (Ray Winstone) is in agony, shattered by his wife's (Joanne Whalley) infidelity. However, he has friends who do more than stand by – they kidnap the wife's French lover and hold him prisoner so that Colin can restore his manhood with revenge.
