The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Lou started hinting yesterday that Mike Fontenot would get some reps in spring training at shortstop. The idea being that if he can manage to not completely fuck it up, he could keep Andres Blanco off the roster and open up another spot for a legit bat or for Kevin Millar to spin fanciful tales of his World Series days and entertain the press corps.
As it stands now, the assumptions were that the bench would be Koyie Hill, Baker or Fontenot depending on who was starting that day, Andres Blanco, Xavier Nady (or whichever outfielder he's starting for) and then one of Chad Tracy, Micah Hoffpauir, Sam Fuld, Kevin Millar or possibly even Brad Snyder, Bobby Scales or Bryan LaHair. If Fontenot could handle the back-up shortstop duties without being a complete liability, that could open up two spots on the bench and send Blanco back to the minors. Blanco is out of options, so he'd have to go through waivers if that happened, but hardly a loss if someone did decide to give him a 25-man spot.
The other revelation today was that Lou is already ready to give Starlin Castro the shortstop job if Theriot hurts himself.
"If Theriot were to get hurt, which we don't want obviously, we'd just put the kid (Castro) at short and let him play."
Theriot better be sure to always travel in pairs this season.

my god...someone gave livan hernandez a minor league deal...WAS...
it's over, dude. =p
...also from gordon witty's twitter feed...
"Zambrano wearing a headband and Silva wearing spare tire just jogged by. ... 3.7 on the Richter scale."
also ted lilly has missed the last couple days due to fever according to witty...hopefully it's not the valley variety =p
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
When I heard Randy Bush on Bruce Levine's show, he pretty much said that 23 of 25 spots are locked up due to contracts and "other things".
IF that is true, it will be really interesting to see who numbers 24 and 25 are.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I don't know who that will be, but I sure hope they don't fuck it up.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Nice shortstop you got here. Be a shame if someone were to set fire to him.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
That really is a mean but funny picture of Theriot.
Count me in the keep Castro in the minors society.
I also wouldn't like to lose Blanco just yet. I'd like to see if he can hit MLB pitching with some of the power he showed last year.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
blanco is a great luxury cuz he can play SS and 2nd on a pretty high level.
i'd like to see some power on the bench besides nady/hoff...though that's a nice 2-piece option to have off the bench.
the cubs have room to move some of these AAAA/bench dudes this spring. if tracy or millar show something it could make it even weirder on who's going/staying.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Really? I mean if he can play defense equal to or slightly better than Theriot, I would be all for letting him play SS and moving Theriot to 2B. It's not like more time with the Cubs stellar minor-league coaching staff will do him a ton of good. Didn't work for Pie... Patterson... etc, etc.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I don't understand the point of movie Theriot to 2nd. Baker and Fountainout have got more offensive upside than Theriot.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Fontenot is barely qualified for AAA. I'm tired of bitching about him... let's get this season started.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Fountainout's EQA = .265
Theriot's = .261
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I couldn't decide between that and Fountainout.
Re: Allegedy best nicknames in MLB
Seriously. Give Fukkakedome some credit. He'll just keep on quietly spraying balls all over the face the diamond, though.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Lou either has Alzheimers or a very short memory. He's tried Fontenot and shortstop and Fontenot sucks balls. He has a career fielding percentage of .500 at shortstop. He's handled 4 chances and committed errors on 2 of them. And the other two chances he didn't fuck up were force outs when he stepped on second. He was tremendously fucking awful.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
he's put a lot of footwork work in...might as well test it out. he's shown good improvement at 2nd.
it can't hurt and he'll find out for sure if blanco is expendable.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
He's put footwork in?...at shortstop? He should work on becoming an average fielding 2b before he spends time on other positions. AND work on his hitting. All this talk by Lou about not being able to have a bat because Blanco can't hit, he should stop and look at last season's stats. Blanco's hitting was equal or better than Fontenot's. And unlike Fontenot, Blanco can field. I'm not clamoring for Blanco to start anywhere on this team, it's just that his competition is crap and a legitimate fielding SS is a necessity. If Lou and Hendry think they can put together a team with no back up shortstop again, it's just another sign It's The End in 2010 (and not in a good way).
Fontenot: .236/.301/.377
Blanco: .252/.303/.341
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
fontenot's footwork at 2nd is much improved. that was most of the problem with his D, anyway.
with the info that cubs are gonna go with s.castro when/if injuries occur this makes a long-term middle IF replacement expendable.
if fontenot can show lou he can occasionally handle SS then they no longer have to carry a glove man.
if they didn't want to put castro in the equation blanco's job would probably be safer. besides, fontenot has to prove he can do it before they'll let him.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Fontenot .236/.301/.377, 419 PA's
Blanco: .252/.303/.341, 138 PA's
Sample size maybe? Just platoon Baker/Fontenot and move on...
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Yeah, lay off Moonlight. He might still be seeing stars.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
As I posted in an earlier thread, Lou saying he's going to give Fontenot time a short in March is becoming a rite of spring. He said exactly the same thing last year.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Just like Freddy Patek without the range. With Fonty playing SS, I would expect this to put even more psych stress on the pitchers. Yuch.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I don't know, I doubt Marmol, for instance worries too much about who is playing shortstop behind him. It's not like our starter is Ozzie Smith or anything.
I just don't have enough faith in Baker's or Blanco's bats to not have Fountainout around.
Re: Really? You have Faith?
So you have faith in Fontenaught after last season? You don't think that 2009 could be the aberration?
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I think that 2009 and 2010 were both aberrations and that his true level is probably around his career averages: .266 .339 .422, maybe a little less slugging and a little more OBP.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I hope so TRN. Right now, as you know, our LH choices off the bench are pretty thin.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Not only on the bench, but we're planning on starting 9 right handed hitters on some days...
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I think an MLB team needs a backup infielder who can actually field. Nothing can cause a team defense to unravel faster than bad middle infielding, except bad catching. If Fontenot had a .900 OPS, I'd say keep him on the grounds that the variance in hitting is greater than the variance in fielding, but as it is, on a real team, I say keep Blanco. If that means there are not enough roster spots for Fontenot, too bad. I say this as a lover of South Louisiana who likes to have as many Cubs as possible to have names ending in "ot."
Re: If Fontenot had a .900 OPS,
Wait! Fontenot has a beautiful powerful(for his size) compact swing. And he is all we have left of Sammy Sosa ~~sniff~~. I for one, want to see what Rudy Jaramillo can do with him.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Did you want to see what Leo Mazzone could do with Baltimore's pitching staff?
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Mr. White would make a perfect keystone combo with Mr. Castro. He is his translator. I vote for keeping him and breaking up the Cajun scrappy connection. Bueno! Ole!
BP and the Cubs
I find it really interesting how the poster NAVIGATOR who has constantly bashed Tim Wilken since he was hired (at least as far as I can remember), never gives him any credit for what he has been trying to do, nor acknowledges bona fide scouting authorities' take on what is happening in our minor leagues. Nice! Go Internet!
"Baseball America also recognized the improvement made in the Cubs' farm system. The Cubs organization jumped from 27th in baseball to 15th in Baseball America's pre-season talent rankings."
5 Cubs prospects in the BP Top 100. Improvement is at least noted.
re: er
Why the snark?
Look, I don't attach much importance to these lists. But lets look at three of the more notable ones that appeared recently.
BA - 5 Cubs
ESPN Keith Law of Scouts Inc. -- 2 Cubs
AOL Fanhouse's Frank Pilliere -- 3 Cubs
3 Lists, Cubs appearing 10 times. That's an average of 3.33 Cubs per Top 100
There are 30 major league teams. 100 top prospects/30 teams = 3.33 prospects per team on average.
If this little exercise has any deep meaning at all, it looks to me like the Cubs are all the way up to average.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I've never seen anyone do a study of how good these lists are, but I've never heard of AOL Fanhouse or Mr Pilliere and Law, besides being a bit of a tool, isn't a prospect guy.
That being said, BA has been pretty crappy at predicting Cubs players. The Cubs have had three RoY candidates including one winnder in the last two years and the highest any of them ranked was 30th (the one who did the worst of the three).
Personal opinion is that any list that doesn't have Lee isn't worth the virtual paper it's printed on anyway.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
"Why the snark?"
Did Time Wilkens poss in your cereal? Why the grudge? What basis is there for your "Teflon Tim" rants when there is objective evidence that he is moving the talent into the right direction?
Excuse me, "AOL Fanhouse"??? Since when does ANYTHING with AOL on it have any significance?! About as much significance as their stock. Ask Time-Warner.
Its not just the lists. It is your perception of not knowing what the minors are for, apparently, which is to get players to the Major League Level, and 2., develop players for use in-trade. Whether they become "Stars" or "Key Players" is just gravy. 650 players roughly out of ALL the various baseball levels get to have the chance. Out of that number, only a tiny percentage become Albert Pujols.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
The Cubs have a serious defect in drafting and coaching positional talent. They go after the toolsy players and skip over the baseball players. The Cubs are in love with drafting the jack of all trade player but master of nothing.
Its a sad state of affairs when the best and most successful positional talent since Mark Grace is Ryan Theriot. I am not even counting Soto as all he has proven is that he is a one year wonder to date.
Go back and look at the drafts of the last 20 years and you will see the Cubs picking their awesome 1st rounder and the next pick or picks is the All-Star/ Hall of Famer. Its not like the Cubs were finishing 1st place every year, even a blind squirrel could luck into one of those organization defining players.
The Cubs as an organization DOES NOT DRAFT OR DEVELOP positional talent AT ALL.
I will defend Ryan Theriot for who he is, he is the best option over the last 3 years for SS for this franchise. He isn't the best in the world, but that should send shivers down your spine about how crappy our system has been for decades. That and watching Bobby Scales being our best option for the OF should make you want to slit your wrists.
Starlin Castro is the savior now at age 19, and no OF or any other positional talent who could ever be considered to seriously to take over a MLB job remotely ready.
The way i see it we don't have shit to help this team over the next 3-5 years from our minors. Thats how bad it is.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
3-5 years is a bit harsh. we probably won't get an aram/dlee out of the minors any time soon (unless vitters pumps it up), though.
it's weird. the cubs have no organizational philosophy or an owner calling the shots on what kind of player should be drafted, but they've struck out a lot...a whole lot.
"The Cubs are in love with drafting the jack of all trade player"
...yes they are. i dont mind it when they do it with a guy like colvin, but when they do it with highschool kid who's got a lot of everything, but still very raw as a complete package...meh...
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Ah, but what you do not see, my friend, is the value of a new owner. That is at least a +1.5 added to the prospect er, prospectus.
2000-oh-10 will be a miracle year...(well, at least a contract year for several Cubbies and the GM and the manager).
It's gonna happen!
I can agree with that, but he didn't have that problem in 2009, so maybe it was a combination of mechanical and mental. I think he and Bradley are the guys who pressed the most with Aram's injury.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
We've confused 2009 and 2010 with 2008 and 2009, right? Cause he did have that issue in 2009, but not as much in 2008.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Typo, but yeah, I meant 2008.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
wow...matt stairs has dropped 32lbs. this offseason.
that's soto-style impressive. too bad stairs didn't do it oh, 10 years ago.
btw...pablo sandoval showed up to camp STUPID huge. he's still got youth, though.
I read on Rotoworld via SFChron that Sandoval was actually 11 pounds lighter this year, but that was all the weight he lost in November when the stories came out about his weight loss plans. After that, it said he stalled.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Pablo Sandoval is the greatest athlete in the history of the world. He'll be fine.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
what, does he technically count as his own planet now? i can believe it and all...i just didn't hear about it.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
He does actually create his own gravitational pull, but I think he's technically only a planetoid.
Paging AZ Phil
I'm heading to ST game next Friday with my two sons (10&8), any key places or times to get a chance for a Cubs autograph?
We're sitting out in the grass behind the outfield.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
You named your sons "10" and "8"? That's more jacked than naming them all Jacos.
Show up really early and try to get them as they're finishing their drills.
HoHoKam is a pretty bad place for autographs, there's other parks where the players litterally walk out of the field after the game... but I can't remember which parks.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
"You named your sons "10" and "8"?"
I named after Dave Kingman and Barry Foote.
Their real names are Leslie and Meriweather.
Thanks for the info.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
NP good luck. The Park that the Padres used to share with.. the Brewers mabye was the best for getting after-game autographs, but I've lost track of which parks are which nowadays.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
I always liked "Kong" for Kingman. I thought "The Baby-Faced Assassin" was okay for Danny Graves before he became "Danny Graves Blows Saves."
"Hey Asshole" was always appropriate for Larry "Chipper" Jones.
Unrelated and probably 3/44, but I was watching a clip of the "Brian Westbrook" ESPN interview and someone directed me to this "Steve Bartman" interview. Not sure how I missed this at the time, but...
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
According to this site, translated by someone whose Spanish is sharper than mine, the Cubs are in on defective Cuban Juan Yasser Serrano (via mlbtraderumors)

"I can move around -- that's the only thing I'm doing 100 percent, is the fielding, and I don't feel any pain at all," he said. "No problem."
Soriano on testing his knee in the field. He needs to figure out how to go 100% in the field during the season.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
C'mon, he goes all out on the "hop".
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
MLB Network...forget which show, i think it's "Hot Stove," has been highlighting a "SABR-style" stat nightly debating their worth and what they show...along with poking holes in some of them.
it's a mix of intelligence, ignorance, and personal opinions.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
"but if anyone has any doubts that the advanced stats aren't invading front offices (well except the Cubs)"
is it 1995 or something? damn flux capacitor.

Trib is quoting Piniella that Caridad is on the team unless he pitches himself off...
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
that stuff caridad does is called pitching these days? hehe...
i wonder what j. van buren is up to? =p
yeah, caridad is a much better pitcher than jvb, but he's got some interesting motion on the mound.
btw...yes, i like caridad. i just think he's funky. he throws that mid-90s fastball on a plane with a little bit of side/side movement, but it rarely breaks much if at all. should be interesting if he can keep his control.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
Caridad was fun to watch last year.
Re: The Cubs Bench Picture Becoming Clearer
"Theriot hit on left wrist by Rafael Dolis during BP, says he's okay"
I'm guessing Dolis is on Team Castro.
Might want to take that Theriot target picture down.

I love arriving here first thing in the morning, adding a few moronic posts (moranic for any Cardinals fans who may be trolling), and reading the sage posts of all you guys. Most knowledgeable fans on any forum, by far. So post like crazy today and help give TCR some visibility!
I told my wife last night that I'm going to need a support system for tonight's game. Tonight is going to be a lot harder on me than it is going to be on these rookie bad asses.
James Russell elected free agency.
based on what SF has been doing every other year lately, getting access to the postseason playoffs seems to be what's important. bring on dat short series!
that said, skipping the sudden death 1-game WC would be nice from here on out.
I know what you are saying, but I feel compelled to point out that there's no such thing as luck, curses, etc. The Cubs this year have as good as a chance as the Pirates to move on to the next round. If the Cubs proceed to the next round or not tomorrow, it will not be because of luck, but because one team outlasted the other. When/if the Cubs are lucky enough to make it to the league series, that's where they may find their biggest challenge. The Dodgers have a good, deep pitching staff.
debuting the new format 1 game "sudden death" WC matchup at yankee stadium does a perfect job of showing the intense emotion and drama this game can be.
that said, i'm ready to not see yankee stadium or hear fans at yankee stadium for another 5 and 1/2 months. at least i don't have to sit through the braves with their "tommy hawk chawp" this postseason.
i'd like to know why the mlb.tv internet radio feed of the game (which is always delayed by a few seconds at best) is almost a minute faster than the ESPN cable TV coverage. wtf?
i dont know what order they'll be in, but i pretty much expect fowler/schwarb/rizzo/bryant/montero/castro/lastella/arrieta. any change at all (aside from the first 4 guys) wouldn't shock me, though. coghlan is still a wildcard in the lineup equation...plus joe could always march d.ross out there with very slow arrieta pitching.
Yup. Have to agree. Baseball, like golf, certainly has that psych component for the player. There is no real reason why a fielding position should affect a batting average. The Cubs are 106 years over due for a little luck. Don't you guys think so? Maybe the rookies can bring some dumb luck on.
probably stacking capable lefties vs cole while keeping the "hot" castro in the game. fwiw, he's 1-6 lifetime with 0 bb/k vs cole (double).
i chalk bryant's issues at the plate while playing OF up to coincidence so far.
I will call your dead horse, "Trigger".
In one game, when anything is possble, I am glad that Joe Maddon is our Manager.
He knows the stats better than all of us. It would seem, IF La Stella gets the start at 3B, it will be only up to the point that they were to get the lead (crosses fingers). From everything I have read, the game will be managed like a hoops game: offense/defense. So expect La Stella to be out of the game by the 5th. This team is incredibly deep which is so surprising. We never woulda thunk it.
i don't know what their roster plans are, but j.herrera is out there practicing with the team.
i can't imagine him making any roster, though. dude had 4 PA the entire month of sept. him being a good dude to be around while keeping the clubhouse loose seems to be his main role at this point.
I know it's my own personal dead horse to beat --but Bryant has been a lousy hitter when playing the OF this year. Given that it's his first playoff game, I really hope they keep him in his natural position and don't mess with his routine.
Lousy as in 8-for-45 with one XBH and no HR. Small sample and all that -- but why take the chance?
hard to tell what's up given they'll probably want to stack as many good lefties into the lineup as possible.
castro being a bit hot doesn't help things. if he was still cool they'd probably stick la stella at 2nd and call it a day.
Madden won't announce lineups but Stella is practicing at 3rd and Bryant in LF today. I'd rather see Bryant at 3rd but I guess Stella has been hotter than Coghlan.
/edit. Though I guess they could be practicing this with the idea Stella would come in as a PH then double switch him to 3rd base and Bryant to LF. Hope that's the plan instead
I really like the sound of that idea about expanding the AFL to ten teams. Each org. gets to field more players.
They should do that anyway, regardless of Adv. Instructs.
Dallas Beeler, Corey Black, David Garner, Pierce Johnson, Steve Perakslis, James Pugliese, Duane Underwood Jr, and Rob Zastryzny threw early-morning bullpen side-sessions at Riverview yesterday.
Underwood threw last, and received specific one-on-one instruction from pitching coach Mike Mason.

Justice might just be delayed in the trial expected to determine who's responsible for Michael Jackson's death.
Jury selection for Dr. Conrad Murray's court case was supposed to begin March 24; however, that will now be the day that prospective jurors are given questionnaires. The actual court proceedings have been postponed until May.
Dr. Murray, who reportedly reminded the court of his right to a speedy trial, will have to wait because the prosecution claims his attorneys have not shared all of their information.
"It is only acceptable to me if this is not strung along over a long period of time. I don't want to lose my constitutional right to speedy trial," Dr. Murray said, according to ABC News.
In particular, the prosecution wants more details describing what to expect from the 93 witnesses the doctor's team has named.
The judge ordered the defense to provide summaries of the witnesses' testimony to the prosecution team.
However, in a closed meeting earlier this week, the judge determined that the defense still had not divulged enough for the trial to start when originally scheduled.
Dr. Murray, Michael Jackson's former physician, has pled not guilty to the involuntary manslaughter charges.

Don't Bully, Go Deeper! {Movie & Sad Childhood Review}
Bullying is an epidemic infecting children and families every day.
If you're not convinced of the depth of its destruction, watch the trailer below to preview Bully, a Harvey Weinstein documentary directed by Lee Hirsch.
The Bully trailer introduces us to children and parents who suffer the brutal and sometimes fatal effects of this disease. Hope and inspiration does surface in the last few scenes as parents and children rally to find a bully cure.
If you want to experience this emotional ride, plan to view the film. I will, but not for the shock and awe factor. I'll support the film because I too feel cavernous measures must be taken to prevent bullying.
I'm optimistic that Bully will shift concerned viewers and spark desire to make the world a better place.
Thank you, creators. I honor your courage and vision.
I'm also empathetic towards your recent R rating by the MPAA. I too feel that cursing is a reality among many 13 year olds, just as bullying is a haunting reality to millions of children in the United States. This R rating decreases your potential for enlightening a younger audience.
But as I applaud your movie and determination to change the rating to PG 13, I'm left with many questions.
• Once Bully hits the big screen, will bullies of any age view the film?
• Will they pay money to witness themselves as the desperate fearful children that they are?
• If so, will bullies see how they transfer their deep suffering and lack of self-worth onto others?
• If they see this truth, will they leave the theater knowing there is a cure for their pain? (Because so far, anger management classes, detention, counseling, family consequences, and bully education at school has not transformed their rage.)
• And lastly, if they desire to heal their pain, will they have access to a holistic cure?
These questions represent the void I see in the anti-bullying movement today.
We must go farther. We must dig deeper. We must meet children at the depths of their souls.
Yes, we need the anti-bullying programs and their scripted dialogues and to-do-lists on bully management. Yes, kids need to know how to protect themselves, friends, and classmates from bullies.
But we also need programs, sponsors, mentors, and parents who show children how to access their souls and live authentically. We must show kids how to go within, cultivate self-love, and flourish from their inherent being. Yes, the mind/body tools in current programs are vital pain relievers, but comfort measures alone will not eradicate this epidemic. We need attention at the soul level to create a holistic cure.
How do we support children at the soul level?
Let's give them the powerful tool of self-awareness, and show them how self-awareness heals and nourishes humans from the inside out. Children who are self-aware can see and live from within. They remember how to live instinctively. They explore their imaginations, listen to their inner voice, and find experiences that illicit compassion. Self-awareness reminds kids how to experience themselves as love, not a body and mind victimized by personal suffering and outside judgment. If a child is being bullied, or is a bully, we can relieve their pain with "right behaviors/right thoughts"—and reintroduce them to their inherent wisdom.
As the parent, teacher, artist, counselor etc., we must lead by example. Be self-awareness in action. Show children how we access our gifts, use our intuition, and act from loving instinct. We can show kids how self-awareness is a map to their emotions and reactions. Encourage them to use this map to make healthy choices. With our supervision, discernment, and newly constructed self-aware programs, we can start a Child Self-Aware movement. In addition to Bully and the existing anti-bully programs/movement, we can nourish our children at the soul level.
I understand these concepts are deep. I know they are challenging to teach especially when considered whoo whoo and/or out of religious bounds. But I say, too bad. It's time.
Children and elders alike need to live from the depths of their souls. Self-awareness, self-worth, self-love, self-esteem, and personal truth cannot be bought or stolen. They cannot be "liked" or "followed" into existence. These divine aspects of self must be modeled, encouraged, and personally revealed. Once self-awareness lives in one's life, love is harvested from within. Add this soulful way of being to the mind/body anti-bullying programs today, and I not only see a holistic cure, I see…immunity.
Bully, the movie, I wish you the best of luck. And to all others called to heal this epidemic, come forth and share your vision. The time is now.

I believe many children these days are growing like a bully. I think because of some problems of the children that is why many children bully their fellow people. I am yet concerned that these children had not been given much support and caring by their parents. Your article are very meaningful Alexandra Folz!
So what's your solution to stop bullying when our society creates bullies by social conditioning? I would really like to hear your proposed solution to this.
I have worked in education for over 20 years in all levels of income and poverty. I am very sad to say that my initial response to this beyond deep sadness.. is that I saw overt and continued bullying in lower economic situations. Thus, when I consider answers I think of not only educating children but also taking as many steps as we can to diminish the effects of poverty on families and children.
Certainly the media and video games sensationalize violence and against that we have a large battle on our hands and hearts. Kindness is small and comes in tiny steps and looks. Teaching self-awareness, reliance, efficacy.. is vital to young children so each has his/her own heart to go to. Yoga, tai chi and journaling get children in touch with their inner world and strengthen personal inner self. Strong physical education programs which focus on personal strength, not dodge ball or just team sports, but personal strength development also get one in touch with his/her personal power.
I tend to see most bullying as a symptom of a broader societal dis-ease. I therefore think the efficacy of anti-bullying programs will be necessarily limited. Our sociopolitical system is one predicated upon violence and coercion (most of us cannot even acknowledge this simple truth, so deep in denial are we), which in many cases explicitly seeks to create disconnection and alienation, from the natural world, from each other and even from ourselves. For so long as this intensely destructive form of society – consumerist, materialistic, inhuman and inhumane – persists, so will bullying and all of the other symptoms like it. That's because at the root of it all, is a palpable – and accurate – sense of powerlessness. And that is the disease that no number of anti-bullying programs will suffice to alter. It's like playing whack-a-mole – to whatever degree the symptom of bullying can be ameliorated, another symptom will increase, and my guess would be a change from other-destructiveness to self-destructiveness. You cannot simply treat the symptoms. When you have systemic issues, reductionist "solutions" (like anti-bullying programs) will result in the evocation of the law of Unintended Consequences. I'm not saying we should not seek to stop bullying, but that we should open our eyes and look at the big picture, since that's the only way REAL progress can be made.
Great insights in the above comments. I appreciate the image of whack-a-mole in regards to the current anti-bullying programs.
[…] How do we support children at the soul level? […]
Some children have bully seeds deeply embedded into their beings. Fear nurtures the seeds and then they sprout. I agree that parent/teacher/community ignorance is prevalent and anti-bullying programs are geared toward the surface level. Meditation and Yoga work to burn the bully seeds. Deep breathing, mindful kids do not bully and they also do not tolerate it because they are taught to listen to their hearts.
Thank you Alexandra Folz for writing such a meaningful article.
[…] Bullying and violence are a major problem in schools and among youth. This interview focuses on how yoga-based techniques are proving effective in bully proofing our children and classrooms. […]
[…] Why are so quick to judge? Why are we so quick to hate? Amanda, I feel you and I am you. I was bullied […]
[…] Yes, people. You heard that correctly. The mother justified the bullying based on the idea that the girl is, in fact, gay. As if "actual gayness" makes the bullying defensible, or even more terrifying, understandable. […]
I had seen various children's who are very rude to others children then I searched on why these children's are so bully then I found that over there, the environment was not good or you say up to the mark then I realized that environment is very important for children grooming.

I took myself off of Depakote in September, And I can tell you what in store for me was one big nightmare. My anxiety level was high even though I was still taking my Buspar which was suppose to take the edge off of my attacks. Let me back up I just stopped taking the Depakote without weening myself. I to did not feel right, I didn't know how to tell someone what was happening to me or if I was to feel bad. It was the first time in my life that I would admit to my councilor that I was suicidal . I spent six days in a crisis center away from my kids and family. In the end they upped my dose of Depakote, which made me feel better. So even though different meds react to people in different ways, what you went through sounds very close to how I felt, I hate taking meds four times a day but I hated how not taking it made me feel even more. Today I am on 1000 milligrams of Depakote, And I'm living. I still have bad days, but at the end of each day It's all good.View Thread
BIPOLAR DISORDER2>>>> Don't mess with the medicines
I know first hands I have done it more than once, Part because I thought I only needed them part time, and also thought that I could mentally be able to live with out having to take them 4 times a day. I learned the hard way 2 weeks ago when I was told by my counselor that I needed to go to the er and then to the crisis center. At first I didn't think I needed to, but I went. I found out later that day in the ER. how bad I had gotten, I sat in my ER examination room and cut on my arm with a coke can. I spent the next 6 days in the crisis center, I had a hard time being there and admitting the reasons i was not taking all my medicines and how I wanted to harm myself cause I couldn't take life centered around medicines 4 times a day. Well I have been out 2 weeks now and I can tell you when they change your dosage or all together change your meds while your in a short term crisis center, Life gets more manageable toady I'm done to 3 meds a day. Remember it's always your choice to be informed on what meds your putting into your body. I'm having more good days than bad ones. keep trying things will get better, or get a second opinion.View Thread
Dear Bipolar Disorder 2 lately I have felt like I have been walking on the road of recovery alone. It started with a manic break down, then led to me trying to cut left wrist. after that things were ok for a while then sunday afternoon i ended up in the E.R. where I finally hope for myself, I didn't now who to call so I call my hub and asked him for his support not his blaming game he like to play.
Well they asked their questions gave me 2 shot and I drove home against their orders. I still haven't recovered from that day. When you feel alone on the road what positive things do you do to keep yourself from loosing it completely?View Thread
Bipolar Disorder 2 Thanks and yes we lots to talk about, begin jobless hasn't help much lately, with the keeping busy part we had to move so the last few months have been one big stress thing after another lately. talk to u soon.View Thread
To Bipolar Disorder 2, So this is where you have been hiding lately, Be careful about what you do or how you feel cause I got fired from my job. Last week I was playing around with my med's ( refusing to take them) and for the first time in my life I had to admit to some one other than me that I was suicidal before i had cut meds cold turkey. Stupid move on my part. since thursday I have back on all 4 of them. My biggest issues right now that I will be facing is 1) Is my 9 year old bipolar or adhd. and 2) Why does she like knifes all of a sudden. Hang in there, things seen to get a little better each day. things have a way of working out.View Thread
I'm fixing to have my daughter retested to make sure she is adhd and not bipolar, she has been on adhd meds for the past four years, However her aunt and grandmother on her daddies side are. I have border line personality disorder and major depressive disorder with a little Self - Injury behavior on the side. Her father was never tested for having bipolar. What are the chances of her adhd diagno. being wrong for the past 4 years? How do I deal with her possibility of being bipolar and not adhd? I'm having a hard time keeping myself straight. Any advice would be welcome.View Thread

Waldorf Pond Snakehead
Type: Freshwater
Region: Southern
Location: Waldorf Pond
Caught this 32" snakehead in a pond in the Waldorf area near the St. Charles Mall. I have fished this pond and the ponds that feed it for the last 3 years and never heard of anyone catching a snakehead in these ponds nor have I caught or seen one in these bodies of water until today. The fish was killed, but I did not have a knife to separate its head from the body, so I had to use some items that mother nature provided and my vehicle to terminate its life.

Researchers from Ume University, Sweden, have explored two different ways that allow unprecedented experimental insights into the reaction sequence leading to the formation of oxygen molecules in photosynthesis. The two studies have been published in the scientific journal Nature Communications.
"The new knowledge will help improving present day synthetic catalysts for water oxidation, which are key components for building artificial leaf devices for the direct storage of solar energy in fuels like hydrogen, ethanol or methanol," says Johannes Messinger, Professor in Biological Chemistry and leader of the Artificial photosynthesis research group at Ume University.
Every child learns at school that the oxygen we breathe is produced by photosynthesis in plants and by cyanobacteria that live in lakes and the oceans. However, exactly how that happens is still under intense research.
Oxygen formation in photosynthesis occurs in a reaction sequence that is completed within one thousandth of a second. Thus, it is not surprising that it has been so difficult to prove experimentally how precisely a catalyst consisting of four manganese ions and one calcium ion (Mn4Ca cluster) performs this reaction sequence in photosystem II. Almost all molecular details we presently 'know' about the last critical steps are based on calculations. Johannes Messinger and his research group at Ume University have now explored two different ways for obtaining experimental insight into the mechanism of oxygen formation.
In the first study, the researchers slowed down the reaction sequence more than 40-times by exchanging the calcium of the cluster against strontium, and a nearby chloride ion against an iodide ion.
"We could show that in the last short-lived intermediate state before oxygen formation, the two water molecules are 'arrested', meaning that they are more than 1000-times more tightly bound to the Mn4Ca cluster than in all earlier

Took my infant son here for his very first check up.The lady in the front was telling us we need to pay our entire visit(not just the copayment)at the time of the visit. She was yelling this through the waiting room.A minute later some guy walks out and tells her to send him the bill. She responds sure. Felt a little unfairness. Then we finally get in to a room to see the dr. And he is almost finished with check up and asks if we had any questions. I responded, "does he look skinny to you?" Not until I asked did he even notice that my kid was under weight. I really don't think he would have noticed at all if I hadn't been worried he was getting enough food. I think he needs to be paying more attention. I never took my son back.

In which a nerdette goes to see a nerd and makes new friends…
Friday night. I did one thing I've always wanted to do and one thing I've done a lot of… at the same time.
I went to my first live comedy show. (That's the thing I hadn't done before.)
And I made new friends because I didn't have friends who I already knew that could or wanted to go with me. (That's the thing I've done a lot of.)
It felt especially appropriate that the show I went to was the live taping of Chris Hardwick's upcoming Comedy Central special here in New York City. I mean, could there be a more perfect first comedy show than one done by the guy who put the nerd in Nerdist?
I didn't think so.
But aside from telling you that the show was awesome, and you should definitely watch it when Comedy Central airs it, I'm not really here to talk about the show content. Let's just say it was nerdy. I laughed a lot. And my favorite parts may (or may not – I try not to be a spoiler of fun things) have revolved around moments in the show when technology decided to be a bit puckish with our fearless comic.
No, no, I want to talk about something else. Something I think any bookworm or geek has done at some point or another. If you haven't, you're missing out.
I went to a theatrical event by myself.
I walked up from the subway by myself.
I got in line by myself.
I chatted it up with people I didn't know by myself.
(Hint: When the guy doing the comedy is known for his nerdiness, chances are you're going to have something in common with the other nerds in line. If nothing else you can discuss the latest episode of The New Girl or 2 Broke Girls with the other line participants, right?)
By the time I had been in line for ten minutes, I no longer felt alone. I had made friends. I had people to chat with once we had tickets in our hands and were walking towards stadium chairs and trying to figure out how to position ourselves in the second line/cluster of people to get prime positioning for the show.
If you're as nerdy as I am, you may read that paragraph above and say, "You talked to people? People you didn't know already? Seriously? I cannot do that."
You can. Trust me. Other people don't bite. And talking to people in line at a concert or show is the perfect opportunity because you have a better than 50/50 chance they're going to be excited about the same thing that you're excited about.
Unless you're not also in line to see the show or concert, and you're just that random lonely girl who's wandered up to a line of audience members and engaged them in conversation. If you're that girl, chances are they will be avoiding eye contact and wondering if you're planning on trying to convert them to your religion.
By the time we were in the theater, my new friends and I had discussed the following delightfully geeky topics: Firefly, Star Wars, the things we do for the shows/bands/books we love, fan fiction, the Dr. Who exhibit that used to be in Cardiff and is now in London, and the classic 90's comedy, PCU. That was really how I knew I'd found friends: PCU was brought up in the first five minutes of our conversation.
Going to a show or concert alone has similar crutches for the shy geek as taking yourself out to dinner. Bring a book! You can always stick your nose in one of those to avoid eye contact with strangers. And when all else fails, your cellphone should have at least a simple version of Tetris on it if nothing else.
Don't let the fact that you don't have a posse of Plastics keep you from seeing a comedian, musician or any other performance. Let your geeky flag fly over whatever performer you're seeing. You won't really be alone!
And when you get home, check Twitter, like I did, just to realize you were sitting only a handful of rows behind Zachary Levi the WHOLE SHOW and didn't realize it. And then kick yourself for being so blinded by laughter and make sure to use the hash tag #facepalm when you tweet your realization.

Archive for the 'Cobo Hall' tag
Four-Links – lost Motorama cars, Cobo history, save the Monopoly car, AACA Library on Tumblr
* While researching the story on the Cadillac concept cars this week, we came across David Temple's site pointing out the lost GM dream cars from the 1950s, including the 1955 Oldsmobile 88 Delta above. Seen any of 'em lately?
* With the North American International Auto Show coming up, Robert Tate at MotorCities took a look at the 1960 National Automobile Show, the first to take place in Detroit's Cobo Hall.
* Hasbro's threatening to kill off one of its game tokens from Monopoly, and as we all know, it must not be the car, so they've put up a Facebook page to let fans vote. (via)
* The AACA Library and Research Center has started Flat Tires and Engine Misfires, a Tumblog featuring the neat things they find in their archives. Looking forward to seeing what they find.
* Finally, photographer John Deprisco turned an old VW Type 2 into a mobile photo booth. (via) (also, Photoboof and Red Eye's Photo Bus)
Detroit, 1960
It's been a while since we visited Wayne State University's Virtual Motor City Project, but a fresh search through the archives there turned up these two shots taken in 1960 in downtown Detroit, showing cars leaving and entering the Detroit Auto Show at Cobo Hall, according to the captions. The above photo appears to have been shot from West Jefferson, while the below photo looks like it was shot from the other side of Cobo, though I can't figure out exactly where the photographer stood. According to the North American International Auto Show's site, the Detroit Auto Show didn't move to Cobo until 1965; plus, this doesn't look at all like January in Detroit, so we're left wondering about the accuracy of the captions. That issue notwithstanding, both photos provide some great carspotting opportunities. What do you see here?
Detroit Autorama set for March 3-5
While the Grand National Roadster Show of a couple of weeks ago crowns the hot rod world's top roadster every year, the Detroit Autorama hosts the princes of the scene, giving them a chance to shine right alongside the kings.
Top among the attractions for the March 3-5 event will be the presentation of the Don Ridler Memorial Award, presented to the top debut of the show. Many high-end builders have aimed their latest creations' premieres straight at the Autorama, so expect high quality in the show car field.
Along with that competition, look for the Autorama Extreme – the show's concession to homebuilt rods, rat rods and traditional rods as well as sport compacts and tuners. The Extreme portion started in the basement of Cobo Hall last year, featuring hot rod clubs in the tradition of some of the first great indoor shows of the 1950s, a pinstripers' jamboree and awards presented by George Barris, Chip Foose and Jimmy Shine.
Regular Autorama features this year include displays for the Munster Coach, one of the original Batmobiles, Ken Fenical's ThunderRoad and one of the first appearances of Fenical's Aeroliner.

The great news heist
By LIBBY REINISH
If you turn on your local evening news, you may not notice anything out of the ordinary. But if you change the channel, you'll think you've entered a parallel universe.
The same reporter may appear on three supposedly independent stations, reading the same script and covering the same story. It's the same news, carefully designed to look like three different newscasts. It can feel like the twilight zone, but these eerie similarities are the reality for scores of local TV news programs across the country.
So far, broadcasters are getting away with this covert consolidation. According to research we've conducted at Free Press, today more than half of Americans live in areas affected by this harmful practice.
In Charleston, S.C., the Fox and CBS affiliates share on-air personalities. The majority of their news stories use the same scripts and the same video footage, though they may be read by different reporters. In Honolulu, Hawaii, three different stations share reporters, scripts, and stories.
It's no secret that the newspaper industry is struggling and that some papers are shutting their doors. But it's not as widely known that for years, broadcasters have been cutting deals that allow them to build local media empires without any checks or balances.
Local broadcast outlets that historically tried to "scoop" each other with hard-hitting news are now working together. Stations share resources, reporters, footage, anchors, and even physical locations. Meanwhile, journalists lose their jobs, local news coverage suffers, and any diversity of viewpoints gets lost in the shuffle.
Undeterred by rules designed to ensure that viewers have access to competing sources of local news, media companies have consolidated their operations, colluding to cut costs and pad profits. They found a way to do it without disclosing these deals to anyone. Our access to diverse news sources has been hijacked.
There are no limits to how consolidated a market can become when covert consolidation is used to circumvent ownership limitations. In Honolulu, one company controls three local TV stations. All five TV stations in Peoria, Ill. are controlled by just two companies, Granite Broadcasting and Nexstar Broadcasting. The Peoria media market serves 10 counties in two states. But two newsrooms simply cannot provide the amount of local news coverage and the diversity of perspectives that residents need to stay informed.
In many cases, covert consolidation has meant a loss of local newsroom jobs: 68 in Honolulu, 30 in Peoria, 45 in Syracuse N.Y., and 24 in Salt Lake City. Broadcasters claim these layoffs allow them to finance better local coverage, but rather than reinvesting in news, that savings is most often applied straight to the companies' bottom lines.
According to the University of Delaware's new study of eight consolidated media markets, stations with joint news operations produce fewer local news stories and air more national news and fluff pieces. They also broadcast more of the same news: In Denver, the same stories were broadcast on multiple stations 71 percent of the time; in Dayton, Ohio, 98 percent of the stories aired on more than one station.
Although the Internet has made it possible to access many diverse sources of news online, what's missing is diverse coverage of what's going on in our own backyards. Coverage of local and state governments, local businesses, local schools, and local labor and environmental issues is disappearing from our newspaper stands and TV screens. It's nearly impossible to know what's happening at city hall or the state legislature.
The airwaves belong to the public - you and me - and the Federal Communications Commission needs better rules to protect our interests.
That means closing the loopholes that have allowed covert consolidation to become so pervasive - and have left the public with less local news, media competition, and diversity.
After all, the choice of whether to watch the exact same story on two or three different channels is no choice at all.

Patricia A. Graczyk, PhD
Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology
Dr. Graczyk earned her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and School Psychology from Northern Illinois University in 1998 and completed a National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) postdoctoral prevention research fellowship in urban children's mental health in 2001. Her current work allows her to combine her research interests in the transportability of evidence-based practices to schools with her field work in schools related to promoting school attendance, meeting the needs of students with anxiety, and the systemic implementation of a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) service delivery model to address the academic and social-emotional needs of all students.
Dr. Graczyk has presented at local, national, and international conferences on such topics as pediatric anxiety disorders, school-based mental health services, a multi-tiered system of support to promote school attendance and address chronic absenteeism, social and emotional learning (SEL), child and adolescent peer relationships, and the role of key opinion leader teachers in promoting the utilization of school-based interventions for children with ADHD. She has written journal articles and book chapters on an array of topics. Dr. Graczyk's most recent research is focused on determining ways to help community-based mental health and educational practitioners learn and use evidence-based mental health interventions with the children and families they serve, especially youth with anxiety disorders.
Dr. Graczyk is a licensed clinical psychologist and licensed school psychologist. She currently serves on the editorial boards of Psychological Bulletin, School Psychology Quarterly, and Behavior Modification. She also works as a Lead Coach with the Illinois RTI Network, a professional development initiative of the Illinois State Board of Education. In this role Dr. Graczyk works closely with educators in eight school districts in South Cook County to support their efforts in implementing a Multi-Tiered System of Support. She also serves as a consultant to parents and educators and provides inservice professional development activities to school personnel on a variety of topics including school refusal, promoting school attendance, data-based decision-making, program evaluation, student growth models, promoting students' social and emotional learning, addressing the needs of students with anxiety disorders, bullying prevention, functional behavioral assessment, and developing effective behavior support plans for students with disabilities.
