Zack Greinke Agrees To 6 Year, $147M Deal With Dodgers
The Dodgers and Zack Greinke have agreed to a six-year, $147 million contract, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The deal is pending a physical.
Greinke, 29, went 15-5 last season for the Brewers and Angels with a 3.48 ERA in 34 starts.
If you've already had your fill of R.A. Dickey rumors, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Bloggers who know a lot more than I do say that teams are going to get desperate now and cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
We'll see…
Original Post 9:00 AM
Jim Bowden of ESPN tweeted that free agent starter Zack Greinke was "blown away" by the offer from Nolan Ryan and the Rangers Front Office.
Greinke said he loves the Rangers roster and their minor league prospects, and is turned on by their chances to win a World Series.
Meanwhile it looks like both the Dodgers and Angels are retreating from the chase to sign Greinke.
According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, Greinke talks have reached a "critical stage" and the Dodgers are now considering bowing out and moving on to other pursuits. Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti offered a pessimistic response when asked whether the club was close to signing Greinke.
"We're not on the front lawn.We're barely out of the car at the curb. It's better than driving around the neighborhood looking for the house. We know where the house is located. We just can't seem to get out of the car."
Bowden also adds that according to a source there will be no last minute strike by the Angels to land Greinke like they did last year for Pujols. VERY UNLIKELY, is how he puts it.
Once Greinke signs and is off the market, it is expected to usher in a phase of depravity and desperation unlike anything we've ever seen before in prior offseasons.
It is exactly what Sandy Alderson has been waiting for as he dangles R.A. Dickey in front of a pack of ravenous and voracious wild dogs who all hunger for the taste of his flesh.
At least that's what some fans and bloggers think.

Wish Nolan Ryan was our owner instead of theirs.
R.A. Dickey + the Wilpons for Nolan Ryan? This needs to happen.
but really how about dickey for craig gentry+robbie ross?
Jon Daniels and Nolan Ryan for Sandy Alderson,The Wilpons, a bottle of Jack Daniels plus a box of assorted chocolates.
Because Hamilton quit in the 2nd half and down the stretch?
Wake me up when he is signed, enoigh of this drama queen nonsense already.
Well, back about 4 years ago i loved the idea of having greinke, but if there's a guy who is overrated as hell (Besides you know who) is this guy. He's not worth all that money, he won a cy young and was dominant, but that year the NL Central was as weak as they come, he does posses great stuff, but i don't see how this guy is worth all that money, i get that the market for pitching is weak, but damn.. he's avg 14 wins the past 4 years, and his ERA of 3.48 is not something to drool about, hell, the Nats just got dan haren who basically is the same pitcher for $13 million on a one year deal, not sure Greinke who i loved is worth all that much…
BTW, in the playoffs in 3 games he's had this line in case you're looking for someone to get you over the top..:3 GS 16.2 IP 23 HITS 12 ER 4 BB 13 K 1.620 WHIP 6.48 ERA
Not exactly ACE like Numbers on a pitcher…
Greinke is NOT an ace. He is a good pitcher but not top end except the for contract he is going to get.
Who doesnt fit in this list:
King Felix
GreinkeYet he will be in their class with his paycheck.
It's kinda odd or funny or sad that who ever wins Grienke's services comes out as the loser. He really has had only one good year as mentioned. Outside of that he is a solid guy but I agree not an ace. The money being spent on healthy pitchers is insane. This is why I propose that the Mets hold onto their pitchers unless blown away for Dickey. I would not trade Niese unless the return was an established big league outfielder who was under team control for a couple years, possibly Gordon.
Not Gordon, for Pete's sake. We need a right handed power, RBI guy.
I'm really floored by some of these contracts being given out. Either they're an overpay in money, in years – or in both.
You will get a THIS if you're capable of mentioning the last contract that was like that
Zito said what
Uhhh! How about all of them!!! I'm sorry but in a world where Victorino get $39 Mil for 3yrs., Napoli gets the same and Angel gets 4years $40million, Wright's deal is a flat out bargain! I know Alex, he sucks, most overrated player ever, they should bring back Greg Jeffries instead, YAWN!!! I get you don't like him! Move on! I know you will bring up some ridiculous stat proven your hatred for him that completely ignores anything he ever did. Great! Your Right! He Sucks! We all wish he never existed! Move the F On!
If wright had a 4 year deal instead of a 8 year deal, it would be a bit easier to move…
What happens if Wright really stinks the joint up in his 3rd year…
Do you think the wilpons allow the manager to bench him ?
Not sure why I'm even engaging in this but I would hope they would allow him to be benched. Why does he really stir up such venom? He's an excellent (I don't care what metric you use he certainly falls in that column) He's a gamer, he doesn't do things to embarass the organization, he's home grown, and he's one of ours. I understand now why many athletes don't want to play in NY.
If! If! If! If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle!
Whenever the Mets pay big money for a product or have a lot of hype in a draft pick, they seem to make moves based on what the reaction they anticipate will be rather than what is right for the club.
not a knock on Wright, but one on the owners
Thank You!
"$20 says the Dodgers will snatch up either Shields or Greinke"
-Hitman, December 6, 2012
I'm almost expecting Shields to go to Texas now, which leads to KC coming back into the conversation about Dickey.
Looking at all the factors (recent performance, contract $ and length) I really don't see why teams would not much rather have Dickey over Shields.
Zack Greinke and Dodgers agree on 6-year $145 million deal as first reported by Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Timeshttps://twitter.com/JimBowdenESPNxm/statuses/277593651348115457
Hope you bet that $20 Hitman. It paid off.
According to the below site if the reports are true and Greinke signed a 6 yr $145M deal it would make Greinke the richest right-handed pitcher ever, topping the six-year, $127.5 million extension Matt Cain signed with the Giants before the season.
I can tell you who I would rather have.even if the money was even. And it isn't Grienke.
Now playing right field for your New york Mets "Mike Olt".
Hope he can do a better job than Duda.
How about putting Wright in RF so Olt can handle 3rd base, like he is used to do. I think the fans can handle a few errors from Wright in RF.
Dickey for Olt plus two more prospects within two weeks…
I'd say one week because Jon Daniels moves so quick, but you have to counter that with the snail's pace that Alderson brings to the table. This type of deal would usually take Sandy 3 months of calculations and Daniels 5 minutes; so when I calculate the scientific ramifications of these two GM's processes, I get two weeks.
The dodgers are about to get a 6 billion dollar deal that covers 25 yrs for their television deal. That comes to 240 million a year for 25 years. So… They can afford whoever they want and more.
What I want to know, is why do the Mets and Yankees both receive less then 100 million a year to broadcast their games? I know they're locked into TV contract, but since they own the tv station, shouldn't they still have all that extra cash when you consider that their in a market equal to or greater than LA?
Wouldn't you like to know the Met's true financial standing: TV revenue, gate receipts, parking, concessions, etc. Why do I think it's a helluva lot more than their expenditures? And what exactly is the 2013 salaries at this moment.?
If Wilpon wants to fill the seats, he better invest some cash. It works for the Yankees.
I think this is a great deal, actually. I think Greinke is an excellent, ace-type pitcher and a six year deal is the perfect length.
X, If memory serves you rarely make comments like this without some kind of statistical back-up. In my view, outside of Grienke's cy young year, he is a mid of the rotation pitcher. If his deal is for 147 then he got more for his mid 3 ERA and one cy young year than Santana got and he was truely dominant over several years. This contract make the Niese deal look like highway robbery.
Fair enough. When Greinke pitched with the Royals, they were the worst defensive team in the entire league in 2010, 2009, and the fourth worst in 2008. So when you cite his mid-3 ERA, you're probably talking about an ERA right around 3 for even an average defense. The Dodgers played above average defense in 2012, and added to the switch to the NL West from the AL, I'm guessing a "normal" Greinke season will likely produce a 2.80-2.90 ERA. So there's that.
As far as his deal for $147 mil compared to $137.5 for Johan, Santana's deal was signed five years ago. I'm not an economist, but I'm sure when you factor in inflation, a $10 mil increase over the length of the deal five years later is at least the same, if not more frugal.
And the Niese deal IS highway robbery.
I can understand a correction for park factor and defense but His time in the NL Central wasn't spectacular either. His whip has never been below 1 were Santana had three sub 1 whip years. As far as inflation goes, it is hard to pin down because of market fluctuations over the past several years. I do understand that salaries go up as a trend but even considering that his salary is about equal to Santana and they were way not equal in talent. The Dodgers aren't my team and with our current finances I doubt the Mets will be looking for a front line starter any time soon but what does this say for the value of Dickey. IMO Dickey has been a better pitcher than Grienke for the past three years so the only issue is his age. It just seems ludicrous to pay that much for a #2 starter.
In 2011 with the Brewers, a notorious hitter's park, his FIP was 2.98 and his xFIP was 2.56. Again, his defense failed him in a hitter's park. The Dodgers play decent defense in a pitcher's park. I'm not suggesting he's better than Johan, I just think this deal is very fair.
Niese wasn't a free agent.
I love all the people who were worried about Greinke being in a big market, apparently, Zack's ok with it. That said, the Dodgers are nuts. I love how they really don't care. I mean every team is scrambling to get under $189MM and they're like…we want an all-star at every position. It's refreshing to see owners in the game to win. The pendulum has shifted to everyone only thinking about money…the Dodgers realize that if they win, the money will come.
This said, I am wary of the impending Dickey trade. I think unless the Mets net a top ten hitting prospect in all of baseball, they shouldn't make the deal. We were a 74 win team with Dickey, I'm scared to see where we are without Dickey.
Even though L.A. is a big market town, the fans are so laid back that it might enable Greinke to deal with his problems of anxiety. But it could also be a case that Zack has been able to learn how to cope with the demons that push him through many years of counseling.
Having Kershaw there also helps in many ways, he's maybe baseball's best pitcher not named Verlander, he's been with the Dodgers for a while, and he can be the face of Dodgers pitching. Even still, the Dodgers made this deal based on how good he is, how good he projects to be, and how good his health (physical and mental) is.
Insane in the membrane!
If Shields goes to the Rangers, KC will come crying back to us lol. I hope we can get Wil Meyers.
Or they can sign Anibal Sanchez who they are now negotiating with and like very much.
Damn it….. Some team will come crying to us though.
Zack attack!!! How long until he's dating Alyssa Milano? Clayton, Grienki, Gonzalez, and their CF who's name escapes me are a great core. SF better watch out!
Their CF is Matt Kemp.
How in the world do you forget about Matt Kemp?
Are Edwin Jackson and Kyle Lohse still available?
RA Dickey and Sandy Alderson are on the clock
I hope Sandy gets a deal that nets us a OF with pop. That would be our Christmas present for the team. Wil Meyers would be great.
Wonder how the season ticket sales are doing with all this news.
Kemp!!! I could picture his face and everything, but his name was at the tip of my tongue…and damn it, I just could deliver the syllable. Kemp, there I said it.
It certainly makes a Dickey to TEX deal a lot more likely.
Dickey & Duda for Mike Olt, OF Leonys Martin and IF Rougned Odor (cool name) would be a really nice trade.
Re-sign Hairston with the money saved on RA and have Olt in LF, Martin in CF and Nieuwenhuis / Hairston platoon in RF. -
It will be interesting to see if this all-star (mercenary) Dodgers team can unseat the Giants who have built mainly throught thier system. It worked once for florida but has failed many other times.
The dodgers bought the team for 2.15 billion…and immediately got a 6 billion tv deal
their 6 billion tv deal works out to 240 mil per year…for 25 years…
of that 240, a good chunk of that goes to all 30 teams, the mets are making 30 mil a year off of that deal…
the mets are making 20 mil off of citigroup
the mets are making 30 mil off of mlbam rev sharing
the mets are making at least 100 mil in mlb rev sharing BEFORE we even talk about the money they get from SNY
Of the $240M, the Mets are making $30M (1/8)?
I think you might want to recheck the numbers.
Plus tv deals go towards the teams local net revenue and is eligible for the revenue sharing which I believe is 31%. So the Dodgers have to fork over roughly $80M.
Plus the Mets, being a top 15 market team, end up being a net revenue payer.
The Dodgers to me will end up being that great "money doesn't buy you titles" story
The Yankees are trying to get UNDER a $ amount to avoid paying a higher tax – the Dodgers are foolishly volunteering to pay that tax. Right now the Dodgers are at 164m guaranteed in 2014 and that doesn't include Kershaw and their closer Jansen. Kershaw in final year of arby so you know he has to get paid.
They just signed Hyun-Jin Ryu to 36/6 which means they have
Greinke, Kershaw, Billingsley, Beckett, Lilly, Capuano and HarangThat's 8 starting pitchers. Something's gotta give.
The big difference is that the Yankees will be 4 time luxury tax losers while the dodgers will have one mark against them. A big difference between 15% and 50% plus all the money sacrificed elsewhere in the CBA.
Hi Jessup,
With all that starting pitching, L.A. might already be thinking ahead to the post season. Many teams now take the regular season for granted with one of every three making it past game 162, meaning even in an off-year there is still a good chance of playing October baseball. That was the reason many gave for the Yankees signing Sabathia – not that the Yankees needed him to help them get into the post-season but what he could do for them from that point on.
With all the money being made in baseball with television rights, etc., overspending is not a financial concern for many. And with the new playoff system, for certain teams the regular season a not competitive concern as well.
It seems to me the regular season became more important with the addition of the new wild card system. Winning the division is again important since being a WC winner only means you are guaranteed a one game shoot out. Teams now have incentive to go for the division; there is just too great a chance of a Bucky Dent moment in a one game playoff.
Hi Taskmaster,
But keep in mind, even with the one game play-in, four of those five teams do make it to the post-season and all then start off with an even slate. Winning the division has become more desirable but the wild card is still there as a cushion to fall back on.
I don't think the cushion works, however, when a team blows a lead and loses the division on the final day like we saw with Texas. I think the emotional impact was too much for the Rangers to overcome.
There's no way that teams plays all season with 8 starting pitchers. Some have to go to the pen and others have to go to the minors. Easier said than done
Hi Jessep,
I agree with you – was just addressing other aspects.
Too many starting pitchers can also lead to dissension within the ranks. Other than the Yankees and A's of the seventies I do not know of teams that were successful with disharmony in the clubhouse.
why not trade capuano and harang for some prospects. that leaves 6, but somebody's inevitably going to get hurt in spring training or april so there you go.

It has always seemed to me that there are three professions that are hauntingly alike: actors, preachers and politicians.
They all demand a healthy ego, a flare for the dramatic and a great deal of showmanship. They all involve appearing before large audiences, the ability to project voice and visual, and they all attempt to move people.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Congress.]
So when I see Speaker Boehner throw up his hands and emote over the fiscal cliff I can't help but think of someone who is a pretty good actor, with a touch of the preacher in him. Not that we don't see that with our commander in chief on the Democratic side, but in this back and forth on the fiscal cliff, Speaker Boehner seems particularly adept at combining those three professions.
Watching his performance on Fox this weekend and in his press conferences this week we got a pretty good taste: "there is nothing going on"; "Democrats have yet to get serious"; "no progress"; "we're waiting."
For those who quake in their boots over such statements my advice is to, as the Brits said during World War II, KEEP CALM. My guess is that the Speaker has a plan to deal with his hard-to-manage caucus while simultaneously pursuing negotiations with the White House. I think his rhetoric is theatrical with a clear purpose.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the fiscal cliff.]
I would hold that the speaker is crazy like a fox (no not Fox) and he knows just what he is doing. My advice to Democrats: don't panic and don't read too much into the doom and gloom—he is a smart and experienced legislator. This may seem like a hot poker in the eye to some on our side but the best response is to go about our business, negotiate in good faith and work towards a deal. Don't fold but don't shake in fear either.
All in all, a good combination of politician, preacher and actor—that's the speaker.

You must be completely insane!
This is about the stupidest legislative effort I've seen! What you are attempting to do with this bill is open the floodgates for special-interest groups to sue just about any business, industry or activity to prevent them from even reasonable use of either their private property or puiblic property! Why dont you just go sacrifice an artifical chicken during the dark of the moon to your new 'environmental god' and allow this state to recover economically from the distriction brought about in part by your ridiculous nature superstitions and regulations?
Is this what we pay these idiots for- to introduce legislation like this? That out to be real good for our economy! The "D" behind his name explains a lot. We don't get the government we need, we get the government YOU voted for.
In light of this resolution, I would suggest another constitutional amendment to be brought to a referendum. All elected officials must be tested for drug use and be examined for mental competence and stability on random basis, and when introducing legislation such as this and removed from office if illegal drug usage or if prescription drug abuse is detected. Findings of mental incompetence should result in removal from any State office and cannot be used as a qualification for Federal office, including the Presidency.

Friends are like stars-wooden box and mug May 28, 2013
I gave this to my friend who does not live close by. She recently lost her son and instead of sending flowers, I sent her this box and mug. She called to tell me how special it was to her. I told her that she could use the box that it came it as her God Box. I am glad that she now has something that can be useful instead of flowers that would have died by now.

What would you wish for?
I happened to catch an episode of I Dream of Jeanie (no laughing or smart comments please) last weekend I think and started wondering what I really WOULD wish for if had the chance and didn't have to be all "I-wish-for-world-peace-an-end-to-hunger-and-happiness-for-everyone!"
I'm still thinkin about my wish.

The Rooftop by Gordon Ramsay at The London
Online Reservations
had heard a mixed bag of reviews/comments about the dining at the London. Although it was a bit pricey, and the buffet selections were not expansive the food was was quite nice and top caliber, the view was stellar and the service was relaxed and attentive. It made for a relaxing, enjoyable easter brunch with an inspiring view of LA from the ocean to downtown, from Century City to the south bay to downtown, facing the Hollywood hills above Sunset. I'm sure I'll be be back. I rather liked the look of the hotel that looked and felt like a boutique hotel in Knightsbridge or or Mayfair. I miss the original "boxwood cafe" in the Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge. The rooftop reminded me of the ambiance of the W hotel in Westwood
This could be a phenomenal place. The food at the Mother's Day brunch was excellent, albeit a bit pricey. The ambience though needs work. The view on the roof is exceptional, but the flooring is astroturf, and the surrounding roof is all stucco. I would suggest a more garden style rooftop ambience, with more plants and definitely rethink the flooring and rework the stucco paint on nearby walls.
The view from this rooftop snack bar is great. the food is just a snack bar for the pool of the hotel, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The food and service are very poor.
Food quality and presentation was excellent coupled with an excellent view of LA from the rooftop of the London hotel. Attentive staff made the lunch enjoyable. Gluten-free options are available and were prepared and served error free. Fruit drink presentation is among the best anywhere.
The food at the rooftop was amazing, and the view was unbelievable. It's crazy to think this oasis is in the middle of a somewhat crazy street off of sunset. The only problem were all the hidden extra fees that went along with the meal: an automatic 20% service charge and $10 for valet parking.
We've been to Gordon's before, but this was the first time on the Rooftop. The service was good, the food was great and pacing was good as well, We asked for additional bread for the stack (it had lots of juices and sauce I didn't want to miss it). Since this was DineLA and prix fixe they charged for it, which they wouldn't ordinarily do.And the sticky toffee pudding was to die for it is supremely delicious.
We went to the rooftop for dineLA lunch. We had the charcuterie, lobster roll, sea bass, Kobe hot dog, and sticky toffee pudding. All the food was great but the sea bass was exceptional. I love sticky toffee pudding from the Fat Cow and this one was almost as good but a little on the sweet side for me compared to the Fat Cow. It's a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere overlooking the city.
Throughout the whole time dining at the Rooftop, I enjoyed how our water cups were being refilled. As time progressed, the weather was slowly heating up. Towards our last course, dessert, in between waiting for the bill and eating, they stopped refilling our water. With the weather warming up more, I was getting thirsty with the mix of heat and flavorful dessert. Even at the end after we paid, we still did not get any water. Other than that, food, the view, and service was good.
Beautiful views, great food and laid back ambiance. Perfect for brunch or lunch.
Came here for lunch on a Sunday for dineLA Summer 2013. The menu was amazing! So yummy and great service. View wasn't too bad either!
What makes for a perfect Sunday afternoon? A 3 course lunch for $25 dollars on a rooftop with a view of West Hollywood and a pitcher of Stella Artois! Lobster Roll—left me longing for a whole Sammy! Hanger Steak—worth paying $25 for this alone. Delicious steak and at grown up portions. My only complaint is the butter knife I was given to cut it with, but given the proximity to the pool I can let it slide. Sticky Toffee Pudding--officially one of the top 10 deserts of my life and most certainly the best Sticky Toffee Pudding in the city. I will be back for this one
I went there with 2 of my friends. The server was nice to take back an ice latte that wasn't tasteful. Timing was good overall except that we took some time to finish. A little surprised that the restaurant would add gratuity for a party of three but maybe that's just how it is over there. Highlight was probably desert. The yogurt and berries was delicious and the toffee desert was perfect for my friend who has an extreme sweet tooth.
Went for DineLA lunch, it was fabulous and well worth the money!
The restaurant week menu was an outstanding value and left us wanting to come back for the ffod and the view.
We just love his show, and have to give it a try. The whole dining experience is superb and the weather adds up it. We'll come back!!
Not busy or crowded which makes it perfect for dates and special occasions.
Wanted a romantic anniversary spot to take my wife to and found this gem. Will definitely go back, the food, the view, the service all where to the top just like the restaurant itself is. Thank you for the wonderful service.
The service we got on fri night was excellent, I'm just sorry I didn't get the guy's name. The girl was really attentive too, brought me a blanket cuz it was getting cold. Our main guy was very friendly, made us felt welcomed and gave us enough space and never made us felt like we had to hurry and order or anything. I made the reservation through open table and he checked us in right away. It was late and we were the last party, but not once did he made us felt like he wanted us to leave so he can get off work. He was courteous, warm, and so friendly and sweet. He even brought over a heat lamp because it was cold. Love the atmosphere and the view.
We came to this restaurant to try the beef wellington. It was good but we realized it is a little different then the one made on the TV shows. still amazing! it seemed they were understaff a bit and our reservation was mixed up with the rooftop and downstairs. they quickly fixed and were on our way. towards the end of the meal waiting staff was slow but kind.

Hypertufa Planters
Tyler Arboretum
Sun, May 6, 2012, 12:00pm - 2:00pm
Tickets: 0
Create a faux stone garden planter from hypertufa – an artificial stone material that is made from Portland cement mixed with other materials. Once the mixture hardens, it looks like rough old stone, but is much lighter than solid cement and withstands harsh weather conditions. Over time moss and lichens will grow on your creation, giving it an aged organic look. Rebecca Boylan and Mary Tilger have crafted many hypertufa creations and will guide you through the process of creating your own handcrafted planter. All materials provided; wear old clothes and bring a pair of rubber kitchen gloves.

PORT COQUITLAM For the second time this year, an inmate has died in the North Fraser Pre-Trial Centre in Port Coquitlam.
Emergency crews were called to the prison Monday evening after corrections staff found an inmate in his cell in medical distress, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).
Attempts were made to revive the man, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The inmate was identified as David William Brodrick, 44.
IHIT has been called in to investigate, while BC Corrections will be conducting a Critical Incident Review to examine the circumstances of the death.
"We are working with BC Corrections to determine what occurred in the cell of Mr. Brodrick prior to his death," said IHIT Cpl. Adam MacIntosh, in a statement.
In April, an inmate at the facility reportedly jumped from the third storey of the building to his death.
Although there have been reports the April death was a possible suicide, the B.C. Coroners Service couldnt confirm any details surrounding the incident.
The coroners service did confirm the identity of that inmate as Roland Joseph Bourque, 69.
An investigation into that death was also launched by the coroners service.

Wednesday Book News: 7 Links For Your Morning Coffee Break (4/6/11)
Good morning, book people! It's sunny & kinda-sorta warm in Cambridge this morning – I actually ran outside! And now I'm home, with my boys, coffee, warm beignets, and a pretty fun day ahead, showing my cousin around town. What more could a girl ask for? Oh, wait…Easter eggs! Fortunately, the Mir-Cat has a few to offer around…
Yesterday, ex-Agent (wow, that makes him sound like a Bond villain) Nathan Bransford posted about virtual witch hunts and respect within the writing community. A must-read.
Agent Kristin Nelson has a short video (1:58 minutes) with a couple of useful query tips. She also has The Book Lantern, an in-depth look at the supporting characters in a story. It's broken down into "Parents," "Mean Girl," and "The Friends," and is very, very useful. Works as a great checklist for avoiding stereotypes.
SLJ's A Chair, A Fireplace, & A Tea Cozy has a very well done review of Melina Marchetta's The Piper's Son. Marchetta is an Australian author; her first book, Looking for Alibrandi, is on a lot of reading lists back home. SLJ's review is very positive–which I mostly agree with–though I don't think Marchetta's "teen/twenties guy" voice is as strong as her "teen/twenties girl."
Check out The Big Kahuna Round of SLJ's Battle of the Kids Books. So far, I've only read A Conspiracy of Kings–which I loved–but all these books look good.
In case you missed it, The NYT has a list of the best children's book apps on the iPad. And here's a guest post at Scholastic's On Our Minds, musing on the future of such apps.
And finally, another must read–Library Journal's Annoyed Librarian on the Devolution of Public Libraries, and privatization. It's a little old in internet time, but an essential post.
And that's it, folks. I'll try and take some more pics of Borders while I'm in town, so we can see how the remaining stores are holding up. Have a great day!

Rugged, reliable powered mixer with quality effects and a versatile mixer section.
The Gear One PA2400 features two 400W amps that can be directed to left/right mains, mains/monitors, or bridged for a 800W mono. Each amp is plenty for powering most 15" two-way speakers. If you need a system with rock band club capability, the PA2400 has plenty of juice to handle the gig.
Each channel is equipped with a three-band EQ and FX/aux level, as well as a pan knob and a monitor level. Another feature of the PA2400 mixer is a pair of seven-band graphics, one for each amp. These make a huge difference because when you use monitors, they often need a completely different EQ profile than the mains. Having a dedicated monitor EQ lets you get more volume out of your monitors while avoiding feedback.
It features 24-bit FX processing with 100 preset selections including combinations of reverb, delay, echo, chorus, flanger, and rotary FX, each with variable parameters. Dialing up a preset couldn't be easier. You simply turn a knob until the preset's number shows in the display, then press the knob to select it. The PA2400 has separate FX level controls for mains and monitors, and also provides a jack for connecting a footswitch that turns the FX on or off remotely.
Portable and ergonomically designed, with well-placed handles on each end, you won't break your back getting to and from your performance or practice space. The box features a tilt-back panel so when placed on a table, the control panel is at a perfect angle. If you are assembling a system that will let your band rehearse or perform, the PA2400 is a superb solution.
Power, mixing and effects in one sweet package for one sweet price. Order today.

This year, there were fires in mid-October.
One year ago, we were planning to take a cruise.
This year we are planning to take a cruise.
One year ago I was single.
This year I am celebrating one year of marriage (this Tuesday to be exact).
In many ways my life has changed more than I could ever have imagined in the last 12 months. My world is now totally invested in someone else's. We are the masters of our home. The decisionmakers. The ones who yell at the toilet paper fairy for not changing the roll. The ones who run out to 7-11 at 1 a.m. to get Tylenol and orange juice.
In other ways, my life is the way it ways before I was married: I still hang out with the people I hung out with, I still have "me" time, in addition to "we" time. I still have aliyahs during High Holiday services, only this time I am called up with my husband.
I have loved being a Jewlywed. I have loved sharing stories with everyone of our first year of marriage.
My husband and I have celebrated a lot of firsts as a married couple, and in the coming 100 years, we will be celebrating many more.
We are now, as our families lovingly call us, an "old married couple."
To those Jewlyweds to be: Enjoy it. The ups and downs during your first year will bring you together – and make you stronger.
And it will make for great stories to tell your grandchildren one day.

Lots of news coming out of Portland this week with regards to Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen.
We're hearing he has denied a report that team is for sale.
Allen posted the denial on his Twitter account after the report surfaced on the website of Comcast SportsNet Northwest's website.
It is absolutely false that I have entertained offers for @pdxtrailblazers. Unnamed sources are wrong as usual. Why don't reporters check?
— Paul Allen (@PaulGAllen) March 29, 2012
Prior to the season, the billionaire owner also denied he had any plans to sell the team.
The report first surfaced on CSNNW.com.
It also must be noted that Trail Blazer president Larry Miller Thursday morning denied knowledge of any talks with prospective buyers.At least two groups have apparently approached Allen, who briefly put the team on the market in the spring of 2006 before apparently changing his mind and withdrawing it. At that time, it was reported that as many as 14 groups expressed an interest in purchasing the team and its arena, the Rose Garden, and were asked to pay a $100,000 application fee to validate their interest.
Paul Allen if your not familiar with him is the Billionaire owner of the Trail Blazers and Seattle Seahawks. He made his money as a co-founder of Microsoft with Bill Gates.
Forbes Magazine's assessment of NBA franchises ranks the Trail Blazers' worth at No. 13 in the league, with a value of $370 million.

Senator Scott Brown today launched another high profile attempt to demonstrate his independence from the Republican Party platform, sending a letter to GOP leaders urging them "to recognize in its platform that you can be pro-choice and still be a good Republican." Brown's letter to Party Chairman Reince Preibus comes as the committee drafting the Republican platform approved a draft that calls for a ban on abortion, without exceptions for rape and incest victims.

The mind that is seeking pleasure cannot be centered. You either seek pleasure or come to me. When you are centered, all pleasures come to you anyway, but they are no longer pleasures. They lose their charm. The mind that seeks pleasure can never achieve the highest. If you are after pleasure, forget about Satsang. Why are you wasting your time? This is the Art of Living.
If you are enjoying your suffering, then you also cannot be centered and you are far away from the path.
Susannah: What do you do when people talk negatively about this organization, Satsangs, teachers, or anybody for that matter?
Guruji: From your side give license to everybody to talk about anything, about anybody, anywhere, at any time.
Exercise -- Talk maximum negativity about everybody this whole week. This is a challenge.

Police in Egypt have detained the supreme leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to security officials and state television.
They said Mohammed Badie was captured in a flat in the eastern Cairo district of Nasr City. That is where supporters of ousted Brotherhood president Mohammed Morsi held a six-week protest that was cleared by security forces on Wednesday.
The private ONTV network showed footage of a man the network said was Mr Badie after his arrest. In the footage, a sombre looking Mr Badie in an off-white Arab robe, or galabiyah, sits motionless on a sofa as a man in civilian clothes and carrying an assault rifle stands nearby. Mr Badie and his powerful deputy Khairat el-Shater, who is in custody, go on trial later this month for their alleged role in the killing of eight protesters outside the Brotherhood's Cairo headquarters in June.
His arrest is a serious blow to the group at a time when authorities are cracking down on its leaders and mid-ranking officials, detaining scores of them across the country. It came after a court ruling on Monday raised the possibility of jailed ex-president Hosni Mubarak walking free soon, a move that would fuel the unrest in the country after the autocratic leader's successor Mr Morsi was removed in a military coup.
Underscoring the growing anger, suspected Islamic militants ambushed two minibuses carrying off-duty policemen in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, forcing the men to lie on the sand and shooting 25 of them dead.
"They were marked in advance by the attackers," said Ashraf Abdullah, who heads the police branch the victims belonged to. He said the assailants checked the IDs of the men, who were not in uniform, to ensure they were policemen before opening fire.
The brazen daylight attack raised fears that the strategic desert region bordering Israel and the Gaza Strip could be plunged into a full-fledged insurgency.
The 25 dead police officers were given a funeral with full military honours presided over by Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim, who is in charge of the police, and the army's chief of staff, General Sedki Sobhi.
Mubarak, 85, has been in detention since April 2011, two months after he was ousted in a revolution against his rule. He was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison last year for failing to stop the killing of some 900 protesters in the 18-day uprising. His sentence was overturned on appeal and he is now being retried, along with his security chief and six top police commanders.
Two judicial officials said Mubarak could walk free this week or next, after a criminal court ordered his release in a corruption case in which he and his two sons were accused of embezzling funds for the maintenance of presidential palaces. His sons were ordered to be kept in custody.

Wednesday morning, a truck loaded with about 5,800 pounds of explosives will roll into Hanover.
A crew of three technicians will jump out and begin unloading boxes, building firing racks and laying out a safety area.
The team working for Zambelli Fireworks company in Greencastle has perhaps the most important job at Hanover's Liberty Day celebrations at Moul Field on July 4. The technicians, made up of firefighters and police, are in charge of handling the stunning fireworks display that will culminate the full day of community activities that mark the nation's birthday.
Hanover's fireworks show is one of about 800 that Zambelli Fireworks will handle this Fourth of July. The company was founded by Antonio Zambelli, who borough his fireworks recipes with him when he emigrated from Italy to America in 1893. It has put on shows at the White House, New York City's Times Square, major sporting events and even weddings, and it is recognized worldwide for its pyrotechnic displays.
While the Hanover show might not be as extravagant as the one planned in Baltimore City, Zambelli staff have a lot to set up and coordinate.
"There's a lot to go into it," said Damian DiCola, of Zambelli Fireworks.
DiCola said Hanover's show will include many of the familiar multi-shot and pattern-shell effects from previous shows, as well as some new features the company has been working on.
"We're building the show based on past years," he said.
"There's always new effects we try to spread around to every show, so that it doesn't get stale," DiCola said. "We try to make sure all of our customers experience all of the new varieties."
"They do their best to mix the variety," DiCola said of the crew who will work the show. "They try to build a nice, interesting fireworks display."
Scott Helm, contractor in charge of the shows for Hanover and the York Country Club, said the hottest new display this year is the "smiley face."
"It's actually pretty cool," he said.
Zambelli still makes its own hand-made fireworks shells, as well as buying material from other sources.
"We do manufacture some of our own products," said DiCola, noting that the Fourth of July accounts for 50 to 60 percent of the company's business.
Hanover's Fire Cracker Club again raised the money, about $10,000, to cover the cost of the show. The Republican Club led about 80 businesses, organizations and individuals to contribute to the fireworks.
This year's Liberty Day celebrations will have a familiar feel, with few changes from previous events. There will be a full day of activities, beginning with two foot races. There also will be baseball and softball home run hitting contests for children, horseshoes, volleyball, kids games and face painting.
The fire department games will be another highlight, along with live music and food.
But shortly after sunset, when it finally gets good and dark, the first rockets will shoot into the sky for another colorful fireworks display, thanks to Zambelli.
"It's 15 minutes of sheer adrenaline because we still do hand-light them all off," Helms said.

All-Star panel weighs in

Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Let's not forget ambassador rice one on each show every major news network five days later.
But it wasn't just ambassador rice the president in his interview with CBS the day following the attack.
On Univision on the David Letterman show and most troubling before the United Nations did not call it a terrorist attack.
Republican senator Kelly -- and here in democratic congressman representative Adam chef.
He's a member of the intelligence -- -- house -- said to anyone who was listening it was clear from General Petraeus and other intelligence officials who testified last week.
That the talking points were amended to protect classified sources of information.
-- are not subject to any political spent by the White House or ambassador to the UN.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has now confirmed is once again saying that there were no substantive changes -- the talking points after they left the intelligence committee.
We're back now with our panel and I'll start with -- you think that the circle is tightening of ground to actually made the substantive changes now well.
I think that the DNI director clapper is gonna have to explain.
He now says he made them or the intelligence community made that means that I have to explain why he made them and why he said earlier that they haven't made them.
But I think that this will be explained the decision because senator I got neglected him to mention that in that CBS interview later a clip.
Came out of Clinton saying that it might very well end up being terrorists that was so he does so even -- CBS aired the part of the interview that seemed.
That he was the seeming to talk about the video he definitely mentioned that it could have been terrorism to -- so I don't think that's a full flights were hopeful that description of his interview.
But yes clapper is now gonna have to come up with an explanation of why.
The intelligence community has seems to have changed its story about the talking -- because -- Whether folks who were heard from him behind closed doors and chief among them -- prisoner Rogers -- -- said.
He gave us a different story -- and we heard from him behind closed doors in congress.
So what does that suggest you -- was he lying then was he lying now was their number ally is it is it semantics.
Well I think you know -- this -- semantics but of course it's we're in the midst of a political fray here over.
The entire episode and there's people on the Republican side who see this is tremendously damaging to present -- Obama administration into their claim of foreign policy in mastering the the terrorists and al-Qaeda.
But let's just look at the semantics and you point that -- -- because the semantics are very important here.
But the difference is that in the document that's Susan Rice was basing her remarks on she used the term extremist.
Instead up al-Qaeda extremists so.
Extremists could include.
A range of people including al-Qaeda but of course we know that ants are -- -- Korea which was in Libya.
Have some ties to al-Qaeda it's not clear that they were taking directions -- Qaeda but again.
It's a difference between saying -- specifically we know this was an al-Qaeda attack.
Or extremist the second thing is they did say they did not say we know it's al-Qaeda they -- there -- indications that it might be al-Qaeda.
So again that's the difference that's semantics but to some people it is now the point of -- After that we're talking about changing a word al-Qaeda vs extremist that kind of thing what about the video.
Where is cool that you know included acts that's essentially now.
One word changed and al-Qaeda became extremists that would almost be irrelevant it's got the story she told it was a -- -- narrative.
It was about a a mob inspired by a video.
And we know Catherine Herridge reported the FBI knew two days earlier.
By asking the ones who had been in Bolivia and receive the ones that we evacuated I mean in the bad guys and -- we evacuated and they were on the scene.
They saw what happened they told the FBI there was no demonstration at all it's a fiction.
So the whole story she told a demonstration got out of control extremists -- kind of who cares other -- -- it is false.
That's what we're asking about how do you go from the intelligence community telling people on the Friday before.
That this was a terrorist attack.
To a completely.
False story on the Sunday two days later that it was a video.
That's the question who changed it and clapper saying he changed a word that means nothing.
First of -- said last week he didn't nobody had any idea who changed anything.
-- and now he's changed his story and Senator McCain has said exactly that there was a change in story -- -- but even if it's only if if if if he can explain that.
There's the bigger question the whole narrative change.
That is -- you know more than just a word change but there because you mentioned Senator McCain let me just read what she said.
He says -- participated in hours of hearings in the senate select committee on intelligence last week regarding the events -- Ben Ghazi.
We're senior intelligence officials were asked this very question and all of them including the Director of National Intelligence himself.
Told us that they did not know who made the changes -- where does that leave us.
Well I think it leaves -- -- -- for the administration having misled the country for two weeks pretty purposefully I think.
Would this ludicrous never -- about a video and spontaneous demonstration which is just false.
Now okay that -- we now know pretty much the truth which is that some pretty well organized terrorist attack which unfortunately succeed if I did it would be -- want to get back to debating.
What the strength of the terrorist groups is -- guys see what we should be doing about it whether this is a consequence of a light footprint foreign policy in -- -- in that and Libya.
And elsewhere.
And so forth I needed at some point we're you know we can go to clapper we can go to the White House how much or how what whether we'll ever find out exactly.
Who told ambassador rice to say what -- said -- who made the -- determination within the administration that let go of that video narrative.
It was obviously politically convenient to them it was to a support election.
I would put -- into this together and say this is a politically convenient narrative.
I think --

hopefully someone here will win it
Merry CHRISTmas everyone....
i'm sure you won't have to worry about it happening. but it would if you did. you don't have a clue about what you would do when beseiged by throngs of people trying to get it away from you. and whoever wants to buy rental property. for what possible reason would you want to make more money off rental property. more than likely no one would pay the rent when they found out you owned it so you would be spending your time in court trying to evict them all. whoever wants to give to charities would be spending their entire life fending off the millions of charities that would be requesting help. and where do you cut off the relatives seeking the gravy. they would never stop coming at you for more and more. point is that it's just too much for 1 winner to handle. yes, it would ruin your life forever.
I'd just drop my pants and tell them to kiss my ass!
You can do that when you are filthy rich.
When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it. ~Clarence Darrow
There ought to be one day - just one - when there is open season on senators. ~Will Rogers
travel to every state, since I don't drink or smoke or do drugs, I would work on hobbies,try new activities, visit family and friends,workout a couple of hrs each day....do some volunteer work at a VET or seniors center, go to concerts,.....You need no organized plan to enjoy life...you can choose whatever,whenever...after all, whatever the winner does, isn't up to anyone's scrutiny except themselves.....The winner is financially free already...
Completely agree w u cdana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I may, I wish I might... Win the Powerball jackpot THIS big night!!!
It would change my life certainly, but ruin? I don't think so.
I would buy some property for myself, but not rental property. Stocks are a better and easier investment in my opinion. I'd quit my job and work as an investor of my own money.
I'd probably also legally change my name some time after claiming to try to avoid some of the inevitable harassment. Sure, that's public record but it would make you a little harder to find. Hired security for myself and my home could also be afforded if necessary.
The biggest issue you brought up is, what do you give to relatives? I would certainly give some to my parents and sister, but beyond that, I don't know.
welcome to the LP Adapt......
good luck everyone
New member to LP even tho I've been reading u guy's comments and post for the last yr. haha. But anywhoo, 363 milli......O_O I'm a broke college student in my last yr of college struggling to make ends meet even to pay rent wich is only 470 dollars a month. I jus recently turned 21 which finally made me legal to play in my state. My first lottery ticket was the 241 million PB draw a couple months ago. I've been playing atleast 10 bucks a week between PB and MM tickets. Winning a JP would b oh so lovely, but I merely play with hopes of matching 4 or matching 5 numbers. I just want enough to ensure I have a good strt after graduation. So yes, im a young lotto player, on a weekly path to play until it becomes my day. But throught my first few months of playing Ive only raked in maybe 7$ in winnings and I've put over 150 into it. Not discouraged at all, bcuz I knw that's how the lottery plays out. I only play QP's bcuz I dnt want to b tht player that plays a certain number every week then the week I forget to play, those numbers get drawn.......I guess, in a gyst, I'm asking for any advice u guys would have for a new lotto player. Thanks in advance. F

Welcome to the LP CollegeLad08.....
Hi CollegeLad08! I played my first lottery in college - and won! Okay, it was only $120-ish, but that's still the most I have ever won after playing for decades since.
My advice? Play less than $10 a week. All you need is one ticket in order to win. Save the rest for books - or for when the jackpot gets bigger and you want more than 1 ticket.

Bahaha... they'll b more into each other than u if it takes money to get it!!!! ;-)
Hi DK....appreciate the reply. Thanks for the advice also. I think I am gonna cut my weekly lotto budget down....hopefully 5 bucks a week will suffice for a nice lump sum.
Great plan CDanaT. I like that one. While the younger generation keeps the businesses running, I could be managing the investments (managing the investment advisors more like), taking classes at the local university, traveling, perfecting my shooting skills, horse showing (the outside of a horse is good for the inside of (wo)men - W Churchill), working with animal rescues, etc. There is plenty to do that does not involve drugs and partying. I'd like to take dance lessons, maybe even piano lessons. The options are limitless if you think about it.

Congrats you just got your first law suit!!
"chicks" who do guys like that are always trouble.
They will set you up, your business will be out there for all to see!
(your just joking right? lol)
I don't see one ticket winning this one, too many people playing. I could be one of ten, still $18 million plenty for me.
What is my plan? Travel, learn new things. Have fun nothing but time on my hands now. Might do volunteer work for a cause I care about.
