The value of an education: Spiraling college costs and student debt spark doubts over payoffs
andyjaggy American Fork, UTJune 12, 2012 3:16 p.m.
I'm a bit of a liberal but even I think that the government needs to get their hands out of higher education. Let the free market run it, banks wouldn't give $150,000+ loans to student who couldn't prove they have a game plan. As it is now the government will give a student loan to anyone with a heartbeat, regardless of past academic performance, viability of career choice, or future earning potential. Thus we end up with students who go into massive debt for a graphic design degree.
While I did the whole school thing I never felt like it was worth the money. My Junior year I finally realized I didn't need to be paying someone to "teach" me. I could do it myself quicker, cheaper and easier. I went ahead and finished anyway because I was so close, but if I went back in time I wouldn't bother. I have never had an employer or potential employer ask me about my education. In my career all they care about is seeing your portfolio. We need to reevaluate if everyone should be attending traditional higher education.

If one of the main support groups for barack huessein obama were college and university students, then it is obvious that the education system has failed to educate these people or at least teach them how to use their brain in making a good decession.
If student loan debt is one of the main reasons preventing students from getting married or moving out of their parents home, that shows either they are not able to get "high" paying jobs or their education has little to no value use in the "real world".
Remember our tax dollars fund many of these universities. Private donations make up a big part of operating the school. The students just an inconvenience to many of the professors who are more interested in their own research, publishing papers, moving up the pay scale, obtaining a status so they can't be fired. The school is not interested in making you smarter, they are interested in your money. Having you repeat classes, and raising the cost 10% or so every semester and then rip you off at the bookstore. Since the professor and editor both make mooney off of you buying the "required" text.

I take note of degander2's comment about the institutions spending like the federal government. When I walk through any campus today I am awed by the size and scope of the facilities that are build for the comfort and convenience of the students ... and of course the faculty and staff. Instead of using technology to cut costs as any manufacturing concern would be compelled to do in order to stay in business, Universities simply go on busting the budget every year. Toto needs to pull the curtain down that is hiding the Wizard of Education.
Sasha Pachev Provo, UTMay 21, 2012 10:34 a.m.
I got most of my education that converts into a higher paycheck while getting a paid for it. I am a software engineer. One difference between my profession and many others is that when you know something, you can easily prove it to a prospective employer, and if he is too dense and demands that you have a masters degree, you can partner with somebody that knows something about business and compete against the dense guy. The market reality values actual skills as opposed to degrees or certifications. I think what we need is more free market thinking - let the best prove that they are the best, and do not insist that they get there by jumping through a particular set of hoops. They can pay somebody to teach them, they can learn it on their own, or an angel from heaven can reveal it to them - we must only care that they are capable of doing the job, and there should be a reasonable way for them to prove capability. This will put an end to the overpriced "educational" system with degrees to nowhere.
christoph Brigham City, UTMay 21, 2012 10:30 a.m.
Close half the universities in nation, shut down 90 percent of law schools (we have enough attorneys), and lets all be farmers and tent dwellers. Peter was a fisherman, Paul made tents. And lets bulldoze half the houses in our country because with fewer children being born and smaller families, there is no way these houses will be occupied. We will never have the number of children that the baby boomer generation had: unless we open the borders and allow immigration to flow freely. Immigration may solve the housing crisis.
Rod Mann Highland, UTMay 21, 2012 1:20 a.m.
Great article. It would be interesting to understand the impact of government subsidized loans and grants on the cost of education. I wonder if by making it too easy to get loans and/or grants people are attending college who otherwise might not have the drive to work their way through it.
dgander2 Richfield, UTMay 20, 2012 9:48 p.m.
The main problem is with the ridiculous rise in the cost of tuition. I'm finishing a clinical doctorate and am loaded with student debt. It could be much less if the university I attended didn't spend like the federal government!!! Someday students will get fed up with it and demand lower tuition. There's nothing wrong with wanting to get more education with the goal in mind of getting paid more. In addition, sometimes you can't work while in school because your graduate education is too demanding.
TRUTH Salt Lake City, UTMay 20, 2012 7:09 p.m.
we have not expanded since Obama was elected......he sends so many mixed signals that we we dont know what to expect and it has created a hiring freeze!! OWS is not going to change anything.....Obama budget didn't get one vote in the Senate/House!
Teaching Moment Ogden, UTMay 20, 2012 3:28 p.m.
Debt = Bondage
Just say no to debt!
It is OK to "work" while you get an education.
One day you can be your own bank.
A Scientist Provo, UTMay 20, 2012 12:30 p.m.
The "payoff" of higher education is in being an educated person.
What kind of uneducated presumption is it to think the ultimate and only purpose and value of higher education is in getting you a fatter paycheck?

pictures but few words
Yum cha in the city today with good friends. Should do it more often.
No I don't have four babies; one features twice because you know, middle children need constant reassurance that they exist. (Photo posted in case the house burns down and all the photos go with it and I forget what my children looked like when they were tiny. Although who could forget those ears?)
It was too cold in the study so I monopolised the family room during my last essay writing stint. Shawl, cup of tea, canine yoga, fire, laptop and a bazillion notes and books. Finished!
Hand dyed for a fun project I have in mind.
Our view changed recently when the enormous branch in front of the kitchen window fell in the pre-dawn stillness. The kookaburras will have to find a new perch to line up on.

Oh yes, our middle child, of which there are two, but one that stands out as the middle child, needs so much reassurance she's planning on staying home until all her siblings have left so she can claim her title as "only child". I am wishing she'd start taking her title, as 21 years, of "adult" seriously.

Will Bryant's signing open the floodgate of others?
Published: July 22nd, 2010 | Tags: Dez Bryant, Flozell Adams, Jason La Canfora
WR Dez Bryant has agreed to terms with the Cowboys, but NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora does not anticipate this starting a domino effect of other signings. Bryant has an unusual circumstance that led to his agreement. Most notably, the Cowboys participation in the Hall of Fame game.
La Canfora also notes that former Cowboys lineman Flozell Adams has four offers on the table from various teams. But his asking price might have already scared off one team. What will Adams do next?
And finally, could the Super Bowl be heading to London? La Canfora has the latest scoop in his "Around the League" report.

Simeone coy on Suarez interest
Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has praised Luis Suarez as "extraordinary" but says he is not currently thinking about which players his club will sign in the summer.
With Radamel Falcao expected to leave the Estadio Vicente Calderon in the coming months, Atletico are likely to be in the market for a forward to spearhead their return to the Champions League next term. Suarez has been suggested as an option, despite the Liverpool forward indicating he will stay at Anfield, and the Colchoneros coach said he was a fan of the Uruguayan, but could not comment any further.
"I could not say anything bad about Luis Suarez," Simeone said. "He is extraordinary, but we have a game so we have to file away these other things for now."
Atletico's success this term has been built on Falcao's 26 league goals in 31 games, but also a defence which has already kept 19 clean sheets. Simeone said on-loan Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois - who is set to claim La Liga's 'Zamora' award for best goalkeeper - had been given valuable help by his team-mates.
"It is not just Courtois," he said. "It is the work of the whole team. He is a kid who wants to keep improving - he has enormous potential. He deserves praise, but so does the team. When we arrived, we set out to improve the defence. We did that through commitment. This speaks of our strength as a team."
The Argentine manager, speaking ahead of Wednesday's Primera Division trip to 19th-placed Celta Vigo, denied that his side might be less motivated for the game than the relegation-threatened Galicians as they still had to secure third spot in the table and qualification straight into the Champions League group stages.
"We have a really tough game and if we win will have a chance to go straight into the Champions League," Simeone said. "The boys have played an enormous season. We are still on path for the objective. We have an opponent with the same needs as us - they want to get out of their difficult situation, and we want to seal third place."

As Washington prepares for the delayed formal dedication events surrounding the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial on the National Mall on Oct. 16, it is troubling that growing numbers of young people know little about the murdered civil rights leader, or the cause for which he died. A new study by the Southern Poverty Law Center exposes an embarrassing depth of historical ignorance of the nation's long struggle in pursuit of racial equality.
The SPLC study casts a depressing picture about grasping the history of the civil rights movement, largely because so many states ignore the topic in their public school curriculum. Many students do not know about the Freedom Rides of the 1960s or about segregationist Alabama Gov. George Wallace. Nor can they identify the contributions of other assassinated figures such as Medgar Evers or Malcolm X. Thirty-five states earned an F from the SPLC study for woeful education standards that barely, if at all, require a civil rights curriculum. Florida, along with Alabama and New York, received an A grade from the SPLC for its efforts to provide a more detailed teaching of the civil rights era.
Celebrating the life of Martin Luther King Jr. with a dedication ceremony of his memorial is sure to be inspiring. A far greater tribute to King's legacy would be a more enlightened youth who understand why the monument honoring the slain civil rights leader was built in the first place.

Global Genome Effort Seeks Genetic Roots of Disease,
Washington University School of Medicine
By decoding the genomes of more than 1,000 people whose homelands stretch from Africa and Asia to Europe and the Americas, scientists have compiled the largest and most detailed catalog yet of human genetic variation. The massive resource will help medical researchers find the genetic roots of rare and common diseases in populations worldwide. The 1000 Genomes Project involved some 200 scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and other institutions. Results detailing the DNA variations of individuals from 14 ethnic groups are published Oct. 31 in the journal Nature. Eventually, the initiative will involve 2,500 individuals from 26 populations.

The availability as far as Asics Gel Saga collaborative projects go has waxed and waned over the past week or so, with word arriving that the Solebox x Asics pairs had apparently been nixed followed up quickly by the surfacing of an upcoming Foot Patrol version. Things have been steady over on the inline options with the latest offering being this orange blaze colorway, one that we previewed a while back as part of a psuedo-pack together with an Asics Gel Lyte III bearing the same combo. The Asics Gel Saga 'Orange Blaze' is up for grabs now, so hit the jump with us to see all the angles and import them if you so desire from Germany's own Afew.

Hi everyone, I'm so excited share my testimonies about how i got my ex husband back with the help of real spell caster online that is powerful.. My husband and I have been married for about 7 yrs now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. He started coming home late from work, he hardly care about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr Unity can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and and told him my problems and he told me what to do and i did it and he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Unity. If you have any problem contact him and i guarantee you that he will help you. He will not disappoint you. Email him at: firstname.lastname@example.com or call him on: +2348072370762..Natasha Hayes from London,UK.

Store front appears to be up but all site is down. Tags are incorrect. Steam client will not connect. I tried to log in with an old account and it didn't recognise it as incorrect so I'm guessing that whatever is happening the login is compromised and taking password details. Outage or hack? hope the first one.

When I found Dr. Trust I was in desperate need of bringing my ex lover back. He left me for another woman. It happened so fast and I had no say in the situation at all. He just dumped me after 3 years with no explanation. I contact dr.Trust through his website and he cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did his spell, my boyfriend started texting me again and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and he knows that now.we moved in together and he was more open to me than before and he started spending more time with me than before. Ever since Dr. Trust helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before.

He just dumped me after 3 years with no explanation. I contact dr.Trust through his website and he cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did his spell, my boyfriend started texting me again and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and he knows that now.we moved in together and he was more open to me than before and he started spending more time with me than before. Ever since Dr. Trust helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before.

Here we go again with steam not allowing me to access most of its service...just checked my internet and im running at 23mbs....damnit steam get your shit together
I just want to add money so i can get a gift for a friend but its not even letting me do that. Is there like something bad happening or is it just me...
"Help Desk Error"
Steam servers are under maintenance. Normal operations will resume shortly. Thank you for your patience.
Since I can't log into the Steam store and remove my credit card from there, as a precaution I logged into my provider's site and froze it. I advise others to do the same. If your credit card issuer does not let you temporarily freeze your account, you need a new issuer.
For me appears the error:
Reference #97.e69b5ecc.1451082455.3548f83a
And I can't get in Steam Powered
I do not go shop , but a friend of mine 's going very well , I want to know if it's a matter of me I saw many who have commented here that you Schema language and I happen to me kind and asked me to log on Steam store everything I am logged into steam.
cant login into my account, it keep logging into other accounts and steam wallet, and my lang. keeps changing.
Dont buy today! accounts are being mixed up. Payment details of at least 3 people appear on my computer.
My steam wallet was a whole different account and it was in euros and wont let me change the language
Steam account hash-tables are messed-up and being fixed. You'll login and then your wallet will be somebody else. Be patient.
I have an error where in the steam client the store isnt logged in but the client is, have a 100 dollar steam card and i really want to buy a game.
Logging in as another users account, different currency etc, anyone else experiencing these issues right now?
Getting all sorts of errors and for some reason when it does load the store it in german...also downloading around 1-9kbs...gay
i got a gift card then they ddos :{ at least i have star wars balltlefront to play :) but i hate hackers they siad they will be arrested fro 33 years and found lol ez kids
I was able to redeem one steam card before it went down. I have two more and the F5 game is getting old. Damned edgy edgelords DDOSing my favourite service.
Steam is down because a group of kids calling themselves SkidNP promised to bring down Steam today. They claim they are doing it to help Valve every time steam comes back online it seems every. Thirty to Fourty Five minutes these kids launch another DDOS attack. The kiddies need to be found and prison time I think needs to happen as in 30+ years for them all they do is cause problems. They are not helping anyone they are just irritating people so remember SkidNP is to blame they want this to gain recognition. Lizard Squad did not do it this year figure they probably will attempt to attack the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.
So they brought up store.steampowered.com again, but you can't go to the redeem wallet code, or anything that isn't store.steampowered.com by itself. Great.
This was the work of Lizard Squad. They do yearly attacks on Christmas Day only. This time, instead of only DDossing XBox Live servers and PSN servers, they decided to attack Steam as well. R.I.P. - Our $20 Steam Gift Cards we got as gifts.
Of course it decides to stop working right as I get 2 $20 Steam Gift Cards as Christmas Gifts. Of course.

Steam still down for Mexico. May 2 2014. Steampowered and steam store works, but newer forum and login system seems down.
Down in Illinois, too. Way to go, Steam, I'm sure friday night was the BEST time to do this, you know, especially without warning. Enjoy your profit losses.
Steam goes down when my call of duty ghost demo is almost done ;/ hope this dont last for long there anit but 1day of demo
I noticed the DC. Said I was offline 16 minutes. Cannot reconnect. It's been down for the amount of time posted above.
Alright, so we buy games and gets you enough money to buy 100 Ferraris, and you treat us like this with your horrible servers. You're giving us the short end of the stick, and that needs to stop soon.
This is worse than Blizzard... Two days without being able to play any steam games. I just discovered the joy of Audiosurf, but now I feel like I've wasted $10 because I've only gotten 5 hours of play time out of it. You are lame Steam. >:|
This keeps happening everyday while I'm playing DayZ Standalone. Almost had a crossbow, then it crashed. Threw half my stuff away for that crossbow, and now it won't even be there when I get back...
Steam down for me. While playing dark souls 2 went down and can't connect. accessing store.steampowered.com from browser works, but login thourh steam app doesn't work. Also change of password doesn't work. 1st of May 2014
Down again. 6:35 Pacific on April 26. Weird thing is, I can ping the site and tracert the site just find in cmd, but neither any browser nor the Steam dashboard can connect. It makes no sense. I've tried everything to get it working, and no browser can get there. It's the only site not working for me. All my other sites I go to work just fine. Obviously, this is a problem on Steam's end, but I can't figure out what the problem might be.
It's down right now. 11:56pm Pacific time, April 25. This says it's up, but it's not. Already tried fixing the problem. It's the only web site that's down for me. I can't even get to it through the Steam dashboard.
Steam store pages are either extremely slow or not loading at all for a few days for me and for seeral people I know, both close and far from me, some even other countries.
At the same time some people I know aren't having any problems at all.
Anyone that cant log in steam and play games, you can, just not the ones that plays online. Any single player you can . Just unplug your internet, log steam, it will then detect you don't have an internet connection and ask you if you want to log offline, do that, then you can see all your library and launch any game. But store, comminuty etc wont work. You can now replug your internet cable and log back in to teampseak or surf web etc, and play any single player game on steam. Just not online like i said.
Steam is down - Funny let me buy the game deducted money from account then kicked me off now I cant log on -- they will still let you buy -- whatever bug their is it never effects the profit side notice that
I just installed a mod for Skyrim and it's about time to play it... And BAM I can't even f#!king login, it's stuck at "Connecting Steam account:....." I asked my friend and he told me it works just fine for him.
Steam Store has been down for me Since Saturday - Arlington, WA north of Seattle. Hopefully the game that was on sale is still there when it comes back online.
why am i not surprised steam is down its had problems with servers last few weeks like i just find it so convenient when im trying to get a refund for a game like
That's TWICE it went down today!
To prevent this from happening more often, I advise that we upload not-too-big files and videos...
Yes Steam is down for me too. I see here they are using IP 188.8.131.52 and the last hop before the traceroute dies is in Seattle. Wa. And surprise the outage is on Comcast network. IP 126.96.36.199

What's the logic behind trying to connect to the Steam Network via the Internet when I'm enabling Offline mode. Oh. And steam is down again.
Steam currently suffering major sync problems for the last couple of hours. steampowered servers are exceptionally spotty right now. This has been a reoccurring issue in the past for Steam... considering their wealth and size such connectivity issues and maintenance down-times are now completely unacceptable
Steam, please relocate the employee with restless legs syndrome from the desk the Ethernet for the server comes out from under.
Signed Everyone.
Yeah weird that again in past 2 days server(s)s go down and now been for about 30mins :/ Hopefully back up soon.
cant buy anything on steam says unable to connect to server server may be offline or you may not be connected to internet does anyone else have this problem right now
Looks like the Steam store is down right now. And during a sale that I actually want! Grrrr! Fix yo shit!
Same thing... annoying, and it's been buggy all week, I thought the whole point of maintenance was to fix issues, not make them worse..

text: I found this on ESPN today. I hope it wasn't previously posted. Highlights mine. "There was, as of May 14, a total of 442 free agent signings. Of that group, 343 players received signing bonuses, ranging from $500 to $25,000. Sixty-eight players received signing bonuses of at least $10,000. Fifteen players got $15,000 in upfront money and eight earned $20,000 or more. The Denver Broncos invested only $87,500 in signing bonuses but three of their six free agents each got $20,000 in upfront payments. In all, teams spent slightly in excess of $2 million on signing bonuses for free agents. That is a modest increase over the 2003 total of $1.969 million. From an individual standpoint, the big winner was offensive tackle Brad Lekkerkerker from the University of California-Davis, who received a $25,000 signing bonus from the Houston Texans. The mammoth Lekkerkerker (6-feet-7 and 317 pounds) is an intriguing guy who drew serious interest from nine teams. Lekkerkerker didn't play any sports in high school and then spent the next four years working on the family farm before enrolling in college. He is raw and overaged, at 25, but a legitimate prospect. Agent Michael Vlaming noted that there was at least one other team that offered a $25,000 signing bonus, but that his client opted for the Texans because he felt they offered the best competitive opportunity. "It was," acknowledged Vlaming early this week, "pretty hectic just trying to balance the phone calls from all the different teams." The $25,000 signing bonus Lekkerkerker earned is actually more than five teams invested in signing bonuses for their entire free-agent classes. Some franchises, like Tennessee, are cap-strapped and, while signing lots of free agents, simply can't afford much upfront cash for undrafted players. The Titans signed 27 players but paid out just $18,500 in bonuses, including $2,500 to tailback Jarrett Payton, son of the late Walter Payton." It's good to see that the Texans are prepared to go the extra mile (paying the biggest signing bonus to a rookie free agent) regardless how it turns out.

Solid Carbide Reamers - Walter USA LLC
Walter has unveiled the new Walter Titex reamers. These new reamers are solid carbide up to 13 mm diameter; above that sized diameter they have a solid carbide head. The reamers feature shank tolerance of h6 according to DIN 6535 HA and come in two versions: The straight fluted F2162 for blind and through holes, which comes in sizes ranging from 4 to 20 mm in diameter, while the spiral fluted F2171 for through holes is available in sizes ranging from 2 up to 20 mm diameter.
Both versions have diameter tolerance for h7 hole size, and cutting geometry that features unequal division for best roundness and surface quality. The versatile new reamers are engineered for use on steel (ISO P), stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), aluminum (N), heat resistant alloys (S), and hardened steels (H), as well as composites and plastics (O) rendering them well suited for the automotive, aircraft, energy and medical device industries, as well as general metalworking. They can help boost productivity, thanks in part to the fact that they are usable on machining centers with shrink fit and hydraulic chucks, and deliver reliable tool life due to their high run-out accuracy, thus enhancing process reliability. They also deliver optimal surface quality and roundness.
- solid carbide up to 13 mm diameter

A minor league announcer has an on-air tirade about replacement umpiring and a blown call, Cory Lidle is brutally honest about Barry Bonds, there's a brawl in an A's-Angels game, and more.
"There's no score in the game, they clearly struck out Scott on a checked swing that appeared to be in the dirt, but when [batter Luke] Scott started to trot to first, [catcher Jamie] Burke had already flipped the ball to the home plate umpire, and was on the way to the dugout and they couldn't retrieve the ball and the umpire was hanging on to it. I think once the umpire gets involved in the play, by catching the ball, the inning is over. If the umpire blew the call, then the inning is over, folks."

Some Mets come to Omar Minaya's rescue amid allegations he only wants Latino players, Bud Selig says "nay" to an MLB-sanctioned celebration of Bonds passing Ruth, the White Sox/Angels get into it again, and Greg Maddux is smart.
"When you are a first, there will be some people that are uncomfortable with the fact that you are a first, and they will try to create non-baseball issues if they have the opportunity. I just see that as people that are uncomfortable with the fact that there's a Hispanic in a position of authority. ... It is what it is."

Eric Byrnes and Bill Lee are strange birds, Jeffrey Maier (remember him?) is in the news again, and MLB has quickly renounced Forbes' most recent financial figures.
"That really stuck out and bothered me. To hear that something that happened when you are 12 would be the highlight of your life seems a little bit harsh. While I won't say that was the sole motivation shaping who I am today, I will say that it did sort of get to me. One more stick. One more stick to throw into the fire. It kind of pushed me into a competitive nature."

The Nationals start to fall apart, Jason Isringhausen may get coddled a bit, steroids are still in the news, and Leo Mazzone has his work cut out for him.
"We're not going to sit here and watch another 10 games like the 10 games we've already had. We have to right the ship. They have to right the ship. And if they don't, then we can release guys, we can trade guys. We'll do what it takes to get better."

A few closers are in the news because of their music preferences, and two others are in the news because of a job switch. Also: Tommy Lasorda's fed up with all the cheating, and the Devil Rays might not be so Devilish any more.
"I know Mariano's got it. Lord forbid, the Earth should crumble if two people have it."

Steroids are still in the news, spring training is over, baseball is still talking about closers, and Eddie Guardado is a prankster.
"I never specifically mentioned Sammy (Sosa) as a steroid user, but he's definitely a red-flag guy in an era when a lot of guys were abusing steroids. He looked the part and acted the part, and now that there's testing, he got smaller, he can't hit it out of the park, and he's out of work."

Johnny Damon and Bronson Arroyo both react to Arroyo's trade, Jeff Bagwell's shoulder is in the news again, and the Nationals may have a left fielder.
"I bought a house that I could not afford at the time, in Boston because they said, `We're going to keep you, we'll get something done real soon.' This was right after we won the World Series [in 2004]. Obviously, that never happened. After they didn't come to me during the [2005] season, my loyalty to them wasn't there anymore either. I felt the loyalty from them was gone."

Baseball says goodbye to Kirby Puckett, David Wells doesn't think much of Bud Selig, Carl Everett sounds off about his former team, and Tony Womack feels slighted.
"This is a sad day for the Minnesota Twins, Major League Baseball and baseball fans everywhere. Eloise and I loved Kirby deeply. Kirby's impact on the Twins organization, State of Minnesota and Upper Midwest is significant and goes well beyond his role in helping the Twins win two World Championships. A tremendous teammate, Kirby will always be remembered for his never-ending hustle, infectious personality, trademark smile and commitment to the community. There will never be another 'Puck'."

The Boss predicts a World Series win, Frank Thomas gets into it with Kenny Williams, Jim Rice wonders what a Hall of Famer is, and Billy Wagner reflects on Philadelphia.
"Every time the Yankees go to Spring Training, you have to be thinking World Series. It's not a disrespect to any other team, but I think it's just the understanding of the pressure that goes along with playing here."
February 21, 2006 12:00 am
Ozzie Guillen is in the news again, Barry Bonds retracts a retirement threat, players deal with arbitration, and spring training has finally arrived.
