A dramatic turn of events has taken place in the arson fire at the former Forest City Police station. Thaddeus Ellenbecker was convicted and sentenced to serve 20 years in prison in December of 2012 for setting fire to the Forest City Police Station and stealing a gun from another officer.
The Iowa Court of Appeals has reversed Ellenbecker's conviction by ruling that he deserves a new trial. The reason the decision was reversed according to the court documents was because that while he was in custody and being treated at the hospital, the Department of Criminal Investigation allegedly failed to read Ellenbacker his Miranda rights. The court stated in their opinion that the anything he may have said while in custody not admissible in the case.
No new trial date has been set yet.

The Royal Ontario Museum Unveils Over 50 New Objects in FORBIDDEN CITY Exhibition Today
The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) unveils more than 50 new objects in its spectacularForbidden City exhibition beginning today, June 7, 2014. Due to the exhibition's significant number of light-sensitive and fragile textiles, paintings, and paper objects, approximately 50 objects will be replaced by other stunning treasures from the Forbidden City. The extensive rotation includes several rare textiles and paintings and creates a new opportunity for visitors to experience the exhibition, its stories, and exquisite objects.
The Forbidden City: Inside the Court of China's Emperors, presented by the Robert H.N. Ho Family Foundation with Manulife as Lead Sponsor, features 250 treasures that were part of Chinese imperial life for five centuries in a city that was strictly off-limits to all but the emperor, his family and his personal servants. Presented in partnership with Beijing's Palace Museum, the exhibition features more than 80 objects that have never before travelled outside of China and the Forbidden City.
The ROM's new rotation includes several women's robes in sumptuous embroidered silk; the Emperor's ceremonial summer robe worn to mark the sacrifice on the summer solstice; and an imperial dog's outfit, created from silk and gold thread and embroidered with begonias, lotus, and chrysanthemums - made for a small dog named Yellow. Also on display are several pieces of artwork including an ink and colour on silk that depicts Emperor Daoguang, his wife, children, and dog enjoying precious family time and a series of pictures commissioned by Emperor Yongzheng while still a young prince. Depicting him hard at work - ploughing, tilling, weeding, the series established him as a benevolent future ruler.
Remaining on display is one of the exhibition's highlights, the charming "chicken" cup. Commissioned by Emperor Chenghua for his mother to use as a wine cup, it was produced of the finest Ming porcelain. Exceedingly rare, only two such cups exist today in the vaults of the Palace Museum and less than a dozen original Ming dynasty chicken cups survive in museums and private collections worldwide. Recently, one of these fetched a record $36 million (USD) at a Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong, making it one of the most expensive Chinese cultural objects ever auctioned.
The Forbidden City: Inside the Court of China's Emperors is on display in the ROM's Garfield Weston Exhibition Hall until September 1, 2014. Appealing to families, the exhibition features a Family Trail that uncovers the stories and symbolism of the Forbidden City, a treasure hunt for the exhibition's most interesting artifacts and touchable reproductions of some of the exhibition's most treasured objects.
China's imperial palace, known as the Forbidden City, was the centre of government and home to China's last 24 emperors of the Ming (1368 - 1644) and Qing (1644 - 1911) dynasties. Made up of about 980 buildings and 8700 rooms in over 90 architectural complexes, the Forbidden City remains to this day the largest palace complex in history.

The only way you could get Todd and Libby to record a new podcast together was to close them inside of a moving car together, so that's exactly what they did, sending them on a weird odyssey through Arizona in the middle of the night and asking them to talk about the return of Community, this season of Archer, and the cancellation of Luck. Then, they'll answer 10 of your questions and mostly piss you off. Thank God they bought that new USB cord, eh? Note: This episode has some weird, intermittent audio issues, but they will pass within a couple of seconds if you give it a little time.

TEL AVIV (Feb. 19)
Israel and Lebanon may be approaching a standoff as the Lebanese army, the country's regular armed force, attempts to re-establish the authority of the Beirut government in southern Lebanon after 15 years of civil war.
President Elias Hwari was quoted Monday in Beirut as saying Lebanon would demand that Israel pull out of the security zone it established parallel to its border with Lebanon.
But Israel refuses to relinquish the zone as long as Palestinian and Shi'ite terror groups are mobilized in southern Lebanon, according to Uri Lubrani, coordinator for Israeli affairs in the area.
Lubrani claimed Monday that the Lebanese army agreed to allow freedom of movement to members of Al Fatah, the Palestine Liberation Organization's largest military faction, which has long been ensconced in southern Lebanon. According to Lubrani, the PLO moved some of its positions and camouflaged them to make observation difficult.
Another adversary of Israel, the extremist Shi'ite Hezbollah, said Monday that it turned over some positions to the Lebanese army but would retain others near the security zone to continue its attacks on Israeli troops and the South Lebanon Army, allied with Israel.
Beirut said, meanwhile, that it would press the U.N. Security Council to implement its Resolution 425, which calls for the complete, unconditional withdrawal of Israeli forces from the border security zone.

In the name of cracking down on Islamic fundamentalism - which is being pushed across the border from Uzbekistan into the landlocked country of 5million people - Mr Akayev's state security apparatus has arrested many Muslims and restricted their religious freedom.
Many politically active Muslims in Kyrgyzstan who previously campaigned peacefully are becoming radicalised by the Government's actions.
And Australia, in a modest way, has entered the complex local political matrix by joining the United States-led international force stationed at Manas airfield on the edge of Bishkek.
Two RAAF 707s, used to refuel coalition war planes over Afghanistan to the south, are part of Australia's contribution to stemming the spread of militant Islam in the region.
But this also leaves Australia open to charges that it is helping Washington to prop up a corrupt and increasingly oppressive regime.
Mr Akayev granted permission for the international force to be based in his country as a hoped-for insurance policy against externally backed internal revolt.
A trip to the Uighur produce market in Bishkek gives an insight into the regionalism of this mountainous country, which lacks the oil and gas riches of some of its neighbours.
Amid tables piled with goats' heads and carcasses, neat stacks of dried apricots and boxes filled with walnuts, the traders range from very European-looking Russian-speakers to Kyrgyz descended from nomadic
Here there has been a spate of violent incidents by Islamic militants, including the shooting recently of a South Korean businessman and his wife, that reveals the complex and potentially explosive ethnic mix of the region.
Although Russia still has a dominant influence here, it gave its approval for the US to set up military bases in the region, including Kyrgyzstan, to conduct the war in Afghanistan.
But the crackdown on dissent in Kyrgyzstan, including on members of the broader non-Islamic opposition, is helping to fuel opposition to the presence of the US, Australian and other foreign military forces.
There have been protests over the killing by security forces in March of at least five protesters.
A fortnight ago a grenade was thrown at the acting chief of the presidential administration, Misir Ashirkulov, and he remains in a serious condition in hospital.

91 Percent? We'Ll Take It!
Breastfeeding is the normal way to feed a baby, and it has a magnitude of benefits for your little one -- but did you know that it has health benefits for Mama, too? You may have heard that breastfeeding can lower Mom's breast cancer risk, but recent research has discovered that it may significantly lower her ovarian cancer risk as well.
Ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer is known as the "silent killer." It often develops while the woman is totally unaware and symptomless, and is not often discovered until it has spread. According to the American Cancer Society, ovarian cancer is the ninth most common cancer in women, and the fifth deadliest. The most common symptoms are abdominal pain, feeling full quicker than normal and an increased restroom frequency -- symptoms that aren't exclusive to ovarian cancer and may be overlooked.
The reduced risk
The research was conducted at Curtin University in Australia. Researchers studied 493 ovarian cancer patients and compared them with 472 patients who were hospitalized for other reasons. They queried each on the number of pregnancies and the duration of breastfeeding for each woman.
The results revealed that women who breastfed a child for at least 13 months had a 63 percent reduction in ovarian cancer risk when compared with women who breastfed for less than seven months. More babies? More benefit. Moms who had at least three children and breastfed for a total of 31 months or more had a 91 percent reduction in ovarian cancer risk.
The cause
Researchers aren't totally sure why, but speculate that it's because breastfeeding women often enjoy fewer ovulations -- and periods -- than their non-breastfeeding peers. Some moms remain ovulation-free the entire time they breastfeed, while others return to their regular cycle sooner, but most do have a few extra months at a minimum of being period-free.
So nurse away, Mama -- while you're providing your child with the perfect food, you're giving your own health a boost, too.

Dogs On Road To Recovery After Puppy Mill Bust
When an Amish Puppy Mill was busted earlier this year, it left dozens of dogs looking for foster homes to care their medical and social needs. Now, we have an update on some of the dogs who are home, safe, and on the road to recovery.
China Doll, a 12-week-old Pomeranian, is back to being a dog after a start to life that was anything but normal.
"She had lice and fleas really bad," Central Ohio Pomeranian Rescue's Kiteria Alley said.
The Pomeranian, along with 50 other dogs, was held captive in a Pickaway County puppy mill until they were rescued in October.
"She's come a long way since we first got her," Alley said. "She's gained weight, come out of her shell, playing—just being a dog."
Central Ohio Pomeranian Rescue owner Kim Ray said that, like in most puppy mills, the dogs were kept in wire cages with little or no water and little human contact.
"They were chicken coops with wires outside," Ray said.
Once dogs are rescued from puppy mills, the real work begins.
Many of the dogs have medical issues and have to be socialized before they can be adopted.
The work is tough, but not impossible. China Doll is recovering and has found a loving owner to care for her.
The owner of the Pickaway County puppy mill faces 23 animal cruelty-related charges.
Rescue organizations say if anyone looking for a pet should go to their local adoption or rescue

She added, "My kids don't give an 'eff who I am!"
Asked if she could see herself getting married a third time, the 53-year-old singer answered, "I could actually. Yes."

Big Think The 2012 Facebook factor: Young voters more likely to respond to each other than TV ads
Steven Seidman, retired professor of strategic communication
Seidman's research was cited in an article on the Big Think website about how presidential candidates get the youth vote. As Seidman wrote about the Obama campaign for the Journal of Visual Literacy, "[The campaign] designed it as a social network—a user-friendly, online community linking people who had similar beliefs and interests …Almost 60 percent of under-30 registered voters visited candidate Web sites, social-networking sites, or blogs in 2008, and this age group was much more likely to turn out for Obama."

FILM REVIEW; Diving From the Sky Into a Thickening Plot
By STEPHEN HOLDEN
Published: September 23, 1994
"Terminal Velocity," a thriller set in the world of skydiving, has many picturesque scenes of bodies tumbling in free fall high above the Arizona desert. The prettiest shot shows two aerialists silhouetted against the final moments of a glorious sunset. In the niftiest stunt, a car with a woman locked in its trunk is dumped out of an airplane. The hero jumps out of the same plane, catches up to the car, unlocks the trunk, pulls out the woman, and opens his parachute just in time for them to land safely at the bottom of a canyon.
That hero is a wisecracking, womanizing daredevil named Ditch Brodie (Charlie Sheen). The woman he saves, Chris Morrow (Nastassja Kinski), is a former agent for the K.G.B. (jokingly referred to in the film as the "K.G Used-to-Be") who is fighting off the Russian mafia in order to return $600 million of stolen gold bricks to her economically troubled homeland. Just how and why those bricks wound up in the Arizona desert on a hijacked airliner, the movie hardly bothers to explain.
The Russian criminals, as imagined by the movie, are a fearsome mob of glowering bilingual villains who speak English with perfect American accents. With apparently unlimited firepower at their disposal, they turn a large number of vehicles into hunks of metallic Swiss cheese.
There is a thin line between an action-adventure movie that has a human touch and one that doesn't, and "Terminal Velocity" falls on the inhuman side. For all its concentration on action, the recent blockbuster "Speed," which "Terminal Velocity" sometimes recalls, included two or three characters who behaved like everyday people. Their hair-raising journey on a speeding bus was an adventure that anyone who has ridden on a freeway could identify with.
"Terminal Velocity," which was directed by Deran Sarafian, reaches for a similar level of nonstop visceral excitement but misses on two counts. For one, skydiving is not a common experience, like driving. The film doesn't devote enough time to the sport to make it seem anything more than an exotic hobby. For another, filmed bodies tumbling through space seem almost to be motionless. With few exceptions, the scenes on the ground are more exciting than those in the air.
The chemistry between Mr. Sheen and Ms. Kinski is also flat. Although Mr. Sheen's cocky, sarcastic performance suggests that he has a chance of becoming another Robert Mitchum, his character is too loutish to be sympathetic. And Ms. Kinski gives a thin, jittery performance that is lacking in both sensuality and feeling. After all its rollercoaster thrills, the movie provides no romantic payoff.
"Terminal Velocity" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It includes a lot of violence and some strong language.
TERMINAL VELOCITY Directed by Deran Sarafian; written by David Twohy; director of photography, Oliver Wood; edited by Frank J. Urioste and Peck Prior; music by Joel McNeely; production designer, David L. Snyder; produced by Scott Kroopf and Tom Engelman; released by Hollywood Pictures. Running time: 102 minutes. This film is rated PG-13. WITH: Charlie Sheen (Ditch Brodie), Nastassja Kinski (Chris Morrow) and Gary Bullock (Lex).

2nd Celebrity Cruise: Celebrity Silhouette Cruise Review by Momthatloves2cruise
Overall Member Rating
2nd Celebrity Cruise
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Just a quick note about our first Cruise on Eclipse (March 2011)... it far exceeded our expectation. The service and food was superior, and we liked that we could get an alcohol package. The only complaint was that we are beer drinkers, with our choice being Miller Lite. According to the staff, there was a pricing dispute and Celebrity no longer offers Miller Lite. We weren't thrilled to drink Bud Lite and Coors Lite, but it was nice not to have to worry about your bar tab at the end, and it was nice not to have to sign slips each time. I hear that other cruise lines have also started having alcohol packages but More still require you to sign slips each time, and that makes you feel obligated to leave an extra tip (even through you pay your tips for the alcohol package in advance).
OK now for the review on this ship. Again we bought the alcohol package. Apparently after we made our reservations, Celebrity offered a deal where you could get your alcohol package free... and apparently they didn't plan for the supply and demand of drinks. We left on Sunday, and by Wednesday they were out of Bud Light and by Friday out of both Bud Lite and Coors Lite with 2 more days of the cruise left. Really??? We paid allot for our package, and what can I say... we like Miller Lite and settled for Bud Lite or Coors Lite... if your not a beer drinker you wouldn't understand... but big disappointment. I spoke to the bar manager and asked for a credit, not for the whole thing... but we paid for a package that advertised a product that they couldn't produce. Late at night I like a coktail, it was the same for liquor too... frequently what I asked for they did not have. The bar manager said he would inquire, took my room number and never followed up. Even a $25 credit would have been appreciated, but nothing. Disappointing.
The food was OK. It seemed like when we went to the cafe they were always at a time where they were closing for a new venue... I'm on a cruise, I want to sleep in and still get breakfast late morning... make sure you get up there by 10:30 or you will miss out. Eat breakfast late, then you're eating lunch late... same thing, they start clearing off the buffet and roping off the cafe. What really impressed us on the Eclipse was the dinner food... my husband loves steak. On the 3rd or 4th night on the Eclipse one of our choices was Fillet, it was one of the best steaks I have ever had.... my husband requested it for the following night and they were more than happy to offer that to him. Delicious!!! Very satisfied customer. No fillet on the Silhouette. However when my husband asked part way through the cruise, they offered to get a fillet from one of the restaurants you pay to go to... Nice right? Good intentions, however they cooked it in the other restaurant and brought it down from there... it was way overcooked, dry and lukewarm. Apparently the meat was sent raw on the Eclipse and brought out sizzling hot and cooked like it was ordered. I admit we couldn't be happier with our table waiter...he was great and it wasn't his fault about the steak. Still a disappointment from what we had on Eclipse.
This boat rocked a lot. We felt it from the first day to the last. I do recall feeling the Eclipse rock the last night, but the Silhouette was rocking the entire cruise. My parents just got back today on the Silhouette, same itinerary and said the same thing. They heard other people talking that the Stabilizers cost more money to run, and that perhaps ships are trying to save money. Not sure if that is the case, but be prepared you can feel it move.
OK so this next comment is petty, but I just have to vent. We loved the beach towels in our room, pretty yellow color. We inquired about purchasing them but were told the ones for sale were not the same color (they were white), so we were a little disappointed and decided not to purcase. So the last day they were recruiting for people to participate in the pool olympics... I am not an athlete, and have never volunteered for something like this. One of the Celebrity staff begged me to participate... not sure why, but I said "if you can get me a beach towel I'll do it". You could tell he was disparate, so he said OK. I must admit I had fun, but afterwards you better believe I reminded him of the deal (I really liked the towel). I assumed he would come find me later... nothing. I saw him later that night, and he acted a little funny about it, but asked for my room number and said he would have it delivered. Guess what no towel. Not a big deal, agree this will have no influence to most, but come on. Really... follow through and make good on your word. First the bar manager and now this.
The Brunch that replaced the midnight buffet...Again Eclipse was great, maybe (just maybe) it was that first impression as I had never made it to the midnight buffet so this was a real experience. This time, again I was a little disappointed. It seemed like the same stuff that was on the breakfast and lunch bar with a chocolate fountain and a few ice sculptures. Because we eat late in the morning, we thought we would go there when it opened to have breakfast, the crowd was horrible! People we cutting line and people reacted (as expected) rude. Lines to the food were crazy and unmanaged. Not worth it... maybe later in the afternoon would be better.
Not sure why, but we could never find Ranch in the cafe. To me its one of the most common dressings. We asked someone the first day, they seemed surprised it wasn't out and 15 minutes later they brought it to us. Every day we looked but still not on the salad bar... We decided not to ask again.
The morning walking off was one of the worst that we have experienced anywhere. Usually there isn't a big crowd in the morning, but on this ship there was. They had us walking through tables in the main dinning room looping us around. The guy behind us was Aqua class and mentioned he was supposed to get priority of getting off. Evidently not, or at least not for him. I must admit he was being overly vocal/rude about it, but if he was right I would be upset too. It was a long line, which seemed to not be managed well.
All things considered... I love the service on Celebrity (except for the Activity guy and Bar Manager... ugh, I need to let it go)... the ship was incredible. I love all the areas you can go and relax in, either by the pools or other areas. We don't go to the shows (sorry I can't review that)... but my parents did note the shows seemed to be a little lacking compared to other ships they have been on. They also commented that the food didn't seem to be as good (they cruise a lot). If we have a choice we will definitely pick Celebrity over any other cruise line. I tell people it is an older crowd (I'm 38) not a lot of people our age and less than a dozen kids on board (which is great), but we don't go to hang out and party with young people, we go to get R&R by the pool, eat well and enjoy the scenery. That you are guaranteed to get when on a Celebrity Cruise. Less

The Christian would have no hope of victory over the forces of evil unless the stage was set for it.
In last week's study it became clear that Christ, through His death on the cross and His resurrection from the grave, gained victory over all sorts of evil and anti-godly "powers." In a very real sense, the unmasking and disarming of these "powers" have placed a limit on them. The fact that the "powers" have been brought under subjection sets the stage for the victory of the Christian.
Study Ephesians 1:18-22. Paul prays for the enlightening of the eyes of the Christians in Ephesus. According to Paul, what did Christ accomplish for us? How do we understand these words in the context of the great controversy? What is promised to us here? How do we make these promises real in our own experience?
Paul is praying that a new and deep illumination will accompany the Christian. When this has happened their lives will be filled with Christian hope. They will know their privileges as God's heirs, and they will know by experience the power of God in their lives, a power that is of the same magnitude as that which raised Jesus from the dead.
Notice Ephesians 1:20-22 in particular. What can we claim from these promises for ourselves and our struggles with forces stronger than we are?
As a consequence of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection, all things, including principalities and powers, function in subjection to Him. The stage is truly set for the possibility of our individual victories over all that would spiritually oppress us.
Read the verses for today. What can you take from them for yourself in whatever struggles you are facing at the moment? Think about what is being said there and what is promised to us in Christ. How can this go from being mere theology to reality in our own experience?

ORRVILLE -- They were looking at getting some animals for their tree farm, but they didn't count on falling in love.
Dave and Christy Forrer own Skylar Brook Farm. On their 35-acre Orrville farm, they've planted 13,000 evergreens for Christmas trees, but they'll not be mature enough for sale for another two years, and "You can't sit there and watch them grow," said Dave Forrer, who said, the couple, looking to bring a little more life to the farm, attended a National Alpaca Farm Days event.
"We saw them and kind of fell in love with them really quick," he said.
"They're very adorable, but very inquisitive. Just the way they look at you is neat," he said, explaining they did some research, found two fairly affordable males and figured they'd give it a whirl, adding a female for breeding "if we liked it."
Less than two years later, that's just what they did. "We thought we would take the plunge," he said. They bought three females, two of which had already been bred, and they started to build the foundation of a family.
Their first two babies -- crias -- were born on the same day, July 24, 2011, which also happens to be Dave's birthday. Once that happened, they were definitely hooked. "Once you see and touch the baby cria the softness is unbelievable now we have 12."
The gestation period for alpacas is 11 months. In September they welcomed a new cria to the farm.
While alpacas are growing in popularity, he said, many people still don't know what they are.
They're a member of the camelid family, which also includes camels and llamas. Unlike those, however, alpacas "won't spit on you intentionally," said Dave, who said, "The only time you get spit on, is when you get caught in the crossfire (between two spatting animals)."
Alpacas, which have a life expectancy of about 20 years, are a unique breed because they don't come into heat. They become fertile through induced ovulation, he said. "The male clicks his lips together, and when he does that, she automatically drops her egg and lays down."
They're shown, judged on their overall structure and the quality of their fleece, which is measured by micron, brightness and other standards, said Christy, who said the better they score, the more valuable they become. All shown animals must be vet certified and microchipped, because of their value.
Annually, the alpacas are shorn, and the fleece is used to make yarn. In the past, the Forrers have sold their fleece, but now they have it processed into yarn, which they sold at a National Alpaca Days event to which they played host in September.
The average price is $28 for a 4-ounce skein, although the price for the first shearing of a cria is significantly higher, she said, noting that unlike sheep's wool, an alpaca's fleece contains no lanolin and "as soon as you shear it, you can put it right up to your face."
"It's hypoallergenic and feels almost like cashmere. It has a warmth to it as well. It's as warm as wool," she said, adding there now is a great demand for it and many major retailers, including J.Crew, are starting to market clothing made with alpaca fleece.
Each animal yields about 8 pounds of fleece a year, and while there are interested buyers, there now is a greater push within the industry to motivate more fiber mills to process it," Christy said. "We don't have enough alpacas in the U.S. to support a kind of fiber industry we need. We need to get more people into the supply end."
Doing their part to generate interest in increasing the number of alpaca farms is how the Forrers are making their contribution, she said, noting, "They're easy to maintain and keep. They eat a minimal amount of food, and you can have up to seven animals on one acre."
Many alpaca farms are run in tandem with another family income, Dave said, noting that because they're easy to handle and kid-friendly, just about anyone in the family can help. "You see a lot of kids involved with them."
With origins in the Andes mountains of Peru, Dave said, the alpacas have adapted well to Ohio's climate. "They love the snow. The colder the better. They don't like wind and they're not too fascinated with rain. In the summer we put out misters and fans in the barn to keep them cool. They cope with the heat, but they love the cold. In the winter, they always have a nice warm barn they can sleep in, but they all stay outside."
Importing alpacas was banned in the late 1980s, and all the alpacas in the United States are required to stay in the United States. "That protects them and protects the investment," said Dave, adding that all alpacas are registered and DNA certified by blood sample. "You don't have to tell me who the parents are, they can tell me. The alpaca industry is more researchable than your own ancestry."
The Forrers say they welcome questions and invite guests to visit their farm and learn about their animals. Skylar Brook Farm is at 12853 Bair Road, Orrville, and they can be reached by phone at 330-806-1769 or on the web at www.skylarbrookfarm.com.

Ad Boy: Vintage Advertising with Character features images of roughly 500 largely-obscure, abandoned, and forgotten mascots from 20th Century ads. I'd never seen most of the characters before, or even heard of many of the companies. (It's actually a bit reassuring, in light of the state of the economy, to be reminded that the disappearance of major companies is normal.)
The mascots range from the racist:
So-Hi, for Rice Krispies
Oscar Mayer Bandit
to the adorable, yet insensitive:
Minnegasco Minnie
to the bizarre:
Pli-Moor is "the rope that relaxes"? Is that a suicide reference?
to the familiar, yet orgasmic:
Tony the Tiger is enjoying those flakes a little too much.
It's a great book, and my only criticism is that I wish it was five times the size, with little blurbs by the creator of each mascot (or at least someone involved with the ad campaigns). But as a collection of weird mascots, it's a terrific book and is currently $12 at Amazon.

Greg Holland chooses Colorado for his comeback, Jerry Blevins and Fernando Salas stay in New York, Scott Feldman looks to eat innings in Cincinnati, and Boone Logan needs context.
June 5, 2014 6:00 am
The Rockies demote Franklin Morales to their bullpen and bring up one of their top pitching prospects to fill his shoes.
The Situation: Franklin Morales continues to turn in uncompetitive outings, and the Rockies have now decided to pull the plug on the starter and move him into the team's bullpen. Colorado will fill the rotation spot by tapping into their starting pitching depth at the minor-league level, specifically by summoning Eddie Butler—the no. 2-ranked prospect in the system entering 2014—to the big leagues from Double-A Tulsa.
Background: The Rockies took Butler with the second of their two first round choices in the 2012 amateur draft, popping the right-handed pitcher out of Radford University with the no. 46 overall selection. Given Colorado's unique home field environment at Coors Field, the Rockies felt Butler's groundball generating arsenal would not only play well at the major leagues, but at their home ballpark. Baseball Prospectus identified Butler as a prospect on the rise within the Rockies system entering 2013, and he responded with an ERA of 1.80 across three minor-league levels. Butler's continued his dominance in 2014, posting a 2.49 ERA across 68 2/3 innings of work this season with Double-A Tulsa. While Butler's strikeout rate in 2014 is significantly lower than it was in 2013, we can attribute that to player-specific developmental focuses that had Butler pocketing his best offerings in order to strengthen the weaker links.

Not all of the tidbits gleaned from those conversations make it into our articles, but we don't want them to go to waste. Instead, we'll be collecting them in a regular feature called "What Scouts Are Saying," which will be open to participation from the entire BP staff and include quotes about minor leaguers and major leaguers alike.

Notes on prospects who stood out yesterday, including outfielders Courtney Hawkins, Billy McKinney, and Joc Pederson.
Best of the Day
Jesus Aguilar, 1B, Indians (Columbus, AAA): 2-4, 2 R, 2 HR, K. The general consensus on Aguilar over the years has been that his hit tool is going to hold his power back enough to keep him from being an everyday player, and that as a right-handed-hitting first-base-only player, he doesn't fit well on the bench. If that's going to be wrong, he needs to put up really great offensive numbers, because his defense and baserunning will provide little to no value. If Aguilar keeps hitting like he did this winter and is thus far this season (now hitting .563), he's going to prove us all wrong.

A close look at the mechanics of a trio of top pitching prospects.
With one week to go until Opening Day, let's tackle one final Bush League installment of the offseason, taking a look at a trio of pitchers who rank among BP's Top 50 prospects: the Rockies' Eddie Butler, the Pirates' Tyler Glasnow, and the Twins' Alex Meyer. These pitchers embody some of the more common traits of high-end prospects on the mound, from stuff to mechanics, and though each player saw his stock rise during the 2013 season, there's still a heavy dose of development needed before they'll be ready for the show.
January 28, 2014 6:00 am
Mookie Betts, Travis d'Arnaud, and Jorge Soler are among those who came off the board between picks 29 and 56.
In the first episode of the BP Mock Expert Draft, we went over the backstory and parameters of this draft, so there's no need to rehash that here. Plus I know you're all just going to skip past the intro anyway to see who else got picked and when. Sometimes you just have to give the people what they want.
So, without any further ado, here are the next two rounds (three and four) of the Baseball Prospectus Expert Mock Prospect Draft with analysis from the participants themselves:

This six-part series (one for each division in MLB) will appear once Baseball Prospectus has provided their own detailed scouting reports of the top prospects, team-by-team, as part of their "Prospects Will Break Your Heart" series.
We continue by looking at select top prospects from National League West teams. Be sure to read Baseball Prospectus' features on each of these five teams:

September 4, 2013 6:00 am
Jason talks to one of 2013's breakout pitching prospects.
One of the minors' top breakout arms in 2013, Rockies farmhand Eddie Butler jumped three levels while putting himself squarely on the national prospect radar. Although Butler ranked no. 48 on Baseball Prospectus' mid-season top 50 prospects list in June, he didn't enter this season as one of BP's top 10 Rockies prospects. The 22-year-old was instead listed as a name on the rise, with Jason Parks writing that Butler "should see his prospect status elevate after a good full-season debut in 2013."
To say that Butler saw his prospect status rise in 2013 would be an understatement. In fact, he's likely to rank even higher than no. 48 entering next season, and he's probably the Rockies' top prospect at present. The former supplemental first-round pick opened this season by posting a 2.07 ERA in 22 starts between Low-A Asheville and High-A Modesto. He finished with a brilliant six-start stint at Double-A Tulsa, yielding just two runs on 13 hits in 27 2/3 innings while walking six and striking out 25.

Paul breaks down six pitchers who have succeeded in the upper minors and might provide fantasy value down the stretch.
For the third straight week now the Sporer Report has an eye on September. This time around, I've got six potential National League September call-ups, all pitchers, who could bring solid value down the stretch. This is some deep speculation, so keep that in mind when deciding whether or not to take the plunge. The recent news in Queens takes some punch out of a couple of these, but you'll have to trust that they made my list last week when I compiled both the AL and NL lists.
Those of you in 10- and 12-team mixers likely don't need to pounce just yet and in fact shouldn't pounce just yet unless you've got remarkably deep rosters. Instead, use this as a cheatsheet of who to keep tabs on as we now sit just four days from September 1. Those of you in deeper leagues might find a few of these guys already rostered, but most should be available, and if you have the roster space, then you should consider getting the jump on your league mates. These are ranked in order of potential impact which accounts for the likelihood that they even get the call.

The latest notes on Javier Baez, Sonny Gray, Nick Castellanos, and seven other prospects.
Javier Baez, SS, Cubs (High-A Daytona)
Of all the prospects in the minors, Baez's status might have the most volatility, with the skill set to blossom into a superstar and the deficiencies that could terminate the dream before it begins. With elite bat speed and the type of raw power that can find a home in the middle of any major-league lineup, Baez could end up as the top prospect in the game. But his one-speed-fits-all approach on both sides of the ball can be limiting: His aggressive, see-ball-hit-ball mentality at the plate often puts him behind in counts and vulnerable to offerings out of the zone, and his tendency to rush the actions and the throws makes him error prone despite his exquisite hands at shortstop. Baez is warming up and is a good candidate to explode this summer, with a chance to sneak into the top 10 prospects in the game. But the Double-A test is looming on the horizon, and without more nuance to his game and a more refined approach, Baez could take a big step back against better competition. The talent is extreme. The risk is just as extreme. —Jason Parks

NJ Barrier Islands Town Prepare For Next Big Storm [AUDIO]
Clean up work crews on New Jersey's barrier islands have stopped picking up debris and clearing sand from roadways because there's a new storm heading our way.
Joe Mancini, the Mayor of Long Beach Township on Long Beach Island, says after most residents were permitted a "grab and go" visit to their homes yesterday to retrieve important personal documents, medicine and other belongings. They will be barred from coming to LBI today, because everyone is preparing for the Nor'easter heading our way tomorrow.
"We have a lot of equipment running around building temporary dunes," he says, "Working on the electric, the infrastructure, things of that nature – we took all of our large machines off the streets two days ago and put them on the beach- to start pushing up temporary dunes, and at this point Long Beach Township has a minimum of an 8 foot high berm- it's not what we'd like, but we have the entire township with at least an 8 foot berm."
Ocean County spokesman Rich Peterson says in Seaside Heights, "Work crews are really concentrating a large part on trying to shore up the dunes and the beach – in preparation for this next storm we have coming in…they had to be taken away from clearing roads and so forth, so they can get the beach in shape the best they can."
Other towns are following suit – trying to fortify sandy dunes, before the Nor'easter rolls in tomorrow.

On Locally Optimal Programs in The RSS (Robinson-Solow-Srinivasan) Model
In the context of a model due to Robinson, Solow and Srinivasan (the RSS model), we report results on the existence and characterization of locally optimalprograms, a concept taken from theoretical physics. In particular, we propose a(new) transversality condition under which all locally optimal programs are good. An extended introduction places our theorems in the context of previous work on the existence question, including that on agreeable programs. It appears that there is no completely rational way to attack [the] problem without considering development programmes over an in¯nite horizon (Gale 1967). The analysis of simple models is essential if we are to understand the corresponding situation for more complex models of the economy (Mirrlees-Stern 1972). The technical convenience, for clear and quantitative results, of using an in¯nite time horizon is rather great (Hammond-Mirrlees 1973).

Take Me Home: The John Denver Story
Jump to
Television movie based on the life of singer-actor John Denver, who died in a plane crash in October 1997. Based on John Denver's autobiography "Take Me Home," as well as material from his first wife Annie Martell Denver, his children and business associates Milt Okun and Hal Thau. At age 21, John Denver dropped out of college and moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of becoming a singer/songwriter, against the wishes of his father, Dutch, a conservative Air Force pilot. Denver was soon singing in local clubs and on college campuses. He met Annie, his first wife and the woman for whom he would write "Annie's Song," at a college concert. Although they loved each other very much, Denver's years on the road took a toll on their marriage. He was also plagued by his troubled relationship with his father, who had difficulty supporting his son's career choice.

New ski academy in British Columbia accepting applications
New ski academy in British Columbia accepting applications{mosimage}The Red Mountain Racers Ski Academy is now open and accepting applications and it will begin operations on December 12, 2005.
The academy, a partnership between one of the most successful race programs in Canada, an award winning school and western Canada's original 'big mountain' ski resort, has the goal of developing young athletes into champion ski racers. By capitalizing on the strengths of each of the partners this academy intends to challenge the best programs in the world for Ski Racing Gold and academic success.
'We are being realistic when we say we can win' states head coach Sean Valentine. 'There are years of success here that we can capitalize on including Olympic and World Cup Medal wins.'
The Racers from Red have won 2 Olympic gold medals, one Olympic silver medal, two World Cup titles, 27 World Cup medals and one World Junior Championship gold medal. Thirty-eight of its alumni have raced for either the Canadian or U.S. national ski teams and 13 have raced at the Olympics.
Bernie Hofmann, the District Principal for SD20 added, 'There were a number of years of discussion about how a ski academy could benefit student athletes. Our schools have been successfully supporting these kids for all this time. Now we've come up with a better model where the athletes ski in the morning and go to school in the afternoon. We're using the latest teaching techniques and technology. Even while they are on the road racing they are accessing their studies online and working with their teachers.'

Washington, June 15 (ANI): Chelsea Clinton has knocked at Hollywood's door and asked them to promote more smart and sexy female characters in films to help the waning interest of American girls in math and the sciences.
During an interview on CNN on Friday, the former US president Bill Clinton's daughter said that we need Hollywood to make movies and television shows about sexy female engineers, the Politico reported.
She said that girls are not seeing woman role models, instead they're seeing boys who are astronauts or engineers, who start Facebook or Google, and its really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don't see, particularly when you're a kid.
Clinton's family foundation is supporting a social action campaign, which produced the film 'Girl Rising', that is based on girls' education and will be airing on CNN Sunday evening. (ANI)

The only thing we could focus on at the Mad Men premiere was January Jones! Her hair looked amazing but the odd asymmetrical satin and sheer bottom stood out... in a bad way! Mindy Kaling also failed on the red carpet! You have to check out the small screen star's bedazzle lipstick and ice dancer inspired skirt! Yikes! But the worst fail of the week goes to Lindsay Lohan. Her attempt at court-room chic was a total fail. Mug shot number six and the courtroom look were both messes! Better luck next week ladies!
