Stanks' Sermon
Hilltops could be "home sweet home" for bulk of remaining 2018 season
Tanner Rhode, left, celebrates scoring a TD for the Hilltops.
It appears the Saskatoon Hilltops could experience the comforts of their new state of the art clubhouse and a totally refurbished Saskatoon Minor Football Field for most of the rest of the 2018 campaign.
The Hilltops, who have won the last four straight Canadian Junior Football League championships, sit first in the Prairie Football Conference with a 4-0 record. In scheduling quirk that doesn't happen often, the Toppers will close their regular season schedule playing three of their last four games at home.
The first two games of that stretch stand as the biggest games to date in the campaign for Saskatoon.
On Saturday, the Hilltops host their provincial rivals the Regina Thunder (2-2) at 7 p.m. at SMF Field. On Sunday, Sept. 30, the Hilltops face the Edmonton Huskies (3-1) for a 1 p.m. showdown at SMF Field.
If the Hilltops win both those encounters, they will be guarantee the opportunity to host one of two PFC semifinal playoff games. Depending on what happens to the Winnipeg Rifles over that period of time, the Hilltops could lock up first overall in the PFC and home field advantage through the entire CJFL playoffs, if they win their next two games.
The PFC champion this year will host the CJFL championship game, the Canadian Bowl.
Of course if the Hilltops lose one or both of their next two games, then all sorts of different scenarios could play out.
In playing three of their first four games on the road, the Hilltops extended their overall road winning streak to 22 games including action in the regular season and playoffs. The Toppers have been sensational away from home.
With that said, most football teams would prefer to play in key playoff encounters at home in front of their own fans.
At the moment, anyone that is part of the Hilltops will tell you that the only thing that matters right now is the upcoming clash with the rival Thunder.
David Solie jets upfield for the Hilltops.
When the Thunder faced the Hilltops last season at SMF Field, the Regina side posted a thrilling 29-26 comeback victory.
Since that encounter on Sept. 9, 2017, the Hilltops have won their last 12 straight overall games including action in the regular season and playoffs. They downed the Thunder in last year's PFC held at SMF Field 36-24.
The two sides opened their respective 2018 regular season schedules against each other back on Aug. 18 at Mosaic Stadium in Regina and the Hilltops romped to a 41-7 victory. That proved to be the first time in his CJFL career third-year Thunder quarterback Brock Sich started against the Hilltops.
In that clash, Sich appeared to get locked on a couple of targets, but you can expect him to be a lot more poised in Saturday's game in Saskatoon. On the season, Sich has completed 65-of-116 passes for 956 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions.
Veteran Thunder receiver Lee Brown is having another outstanding campaign hauling in 25 passes for 377 yards and scoring two touchdowns. Sophomore Brayden Long tops the Thunder in rushing with 53 carries for 279 yards and one touchdown.
On defence, Davin Williamson had led the way for the Thunder with 25 total tackles and nine total assisted tackles.
Guided by head coach Scott MacAulay, the Thunder will be ready to show they are a lot better than the end result showed in the season opener.
The Hilltops are always looking to continually improve, but they have as close to outstanding as you can get in starting 4-0 and outscoring the opposition 217-23.
Fifth-year quarterback Jordan Walls is having another strong campaign in his second season as Saskatoon's starter. So far in 2018, Walls has completed 65-of-96 passes for 1,004 yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions.
Third-year running back Ben Abrook leads the Hilltops in rushing with 56 carries for 390 yards and five touchdowns.
Thunder QB Brock Sich faced big Hilltops pressure on Aug. 18.
Walls has a trio of dynamic pass catchers to lean on in Jason Price, Tanner Rhode and David Solie.
Of course, the Hilltops offence line combined to take the PFC offensive player of the week award after the Toppers crushed the Colts in Calgary 79-7 last Saturday.
Saskatoon's defence has playmakers all over the place in linebacker Cody Peters, defensive tackle Garth Knittig and safety Brant Morrow.
Guided by legendary head coach Tom Sargeant, the Hilltops will to everything they can to ensure their play doesn't slip in this game.
While the Hilltops will be favoured, this contest could still go either way.
If the Toppers pull out victory, they will take a big step towards ensuring they can continue to enjoy the comforts of home.
Rams/Huskies rivalry renews for key clash
Noah Picton fires a pass downfield for the Rams.
A radio interview once showed how intense the rivalry clashes between the University of Regina Rams and University of Saskatchewan Huskies could be.
In the week leading up the a Canada West semifinal playoff encounter between the two sides in 2007 at Regina's historic Taylor Field, legendary Rams head coach Frank McCrystal appeared on a Regina morning radio show hosted by Michael Ball, who is the Rams play-by-play voice and a former receiver from the team's CJFL days. The two were out to stir the pot before the post-season contest.
If you bought your tickets in advance of the particular game, you paid quite a lot less for your ticket as opposed to game day, when the cost of a ducat went up quite a bit.
On the radio show, McCrystal said the ticket prices were set up that way to rip off all the Huskies fans that came down from Saskatoon to watch that playoff clash, because they are not smart enough to buy their tickets in advance. McCrystal said that Rams fans were smart enough to buy their tickets in advance and get a good deal.
The Rams ultimately won that playoff battle 19-13.
Heading into Friday's U Sports regular season game between the Rams and Huskies at 7 p.m. at Griffiths Stadium in Saskatoon, there hasn't been anywhere near that type of build up for this contest. With that said, it is a huge game for both teams.
The Rams and Huskies are tied for the second and third positions in Canada West with identical 2-1 records trailing the 3-0 University of Calgary Dinos.
The winner of this latest clash between the Rams and Huskies would be set in a pretty good spot heading into the second half of the regular season with a 3-1 mark. For the short term, a win would be a big boost to either side both guided by relatively new coaching staffs.
Steve Bryce, who is a former Rams player from their CJFL days, took over as head coach in 2016 after Mike Gibson left after a one season stint.
Ultimately, Bryce took over for McCrystal, who retired after his 2014 farewell campaign.
Kyle Siemens looks to fire a pass downfield for the Huskies.
Scott Flory, who is a former star offensive lineman for the Huskies, took over as head coach after legendary Huskies Canadian Football Hall of Fame head coach Brian Towriss retired following the 2016 season. Flory has been tabbed with taking the Huskies into the future.
If last year's game was any indication, the spectators at Griffiths Stadium should expect an offensive showdown. In their only meeting of the 2017 campaign, the Rams outgunned the Huskies 50-40 on Sept. 29 at Griffiths Stadium.
Rams star quarterback Noah Picton completed 33-of-44 passes for 388 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in the win. Huskies star quarterback Kyle Siemens completed 38-of-57 passes for 489 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in the loss.
So far this season, Picton has completed 74-of-103 passes for 1,091 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions. Siemens has completed 58-of-100 passes for 832 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions.
Both pivots are on their respective fifth and final years of U Sports eligibility, so Friday's game will be one of the final times they go head-to-head. The Rams and Huskies play again in Regina on Oct. 26.
In recent years, the rivalry between the Rams and the Huskies has been a shadow of what it once was due to the fact both sides are long removed from any post-season success. The Rams last appeared in the Canada West championship game in 2012, and the Huskies were last in the conference final in 2009.
Who knows, Friday's encounter might reignite the rivalry.

Q: how do we write the test case for a method by passsing the @RequestParam as arguments in Spring MVC @RequestMapping(value = "/url",method = RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody String methodName(@RequestParam(value="data[]") int[] data, @RequestParam Integer Id){
    int id = Id;
    for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
        System.out.println(data[i]);
    }
}
enter code here

The above method is a controller method
so i want to write the test case for this

A: This test case can pass parameters to your handler.
@Autowired
private MockMvc mvc;

@Test
public void test() throws Exception {
   this.mvc.perform(get("/url")
                   .param("Id", "1")
                   .param("data[]", "1,2,3,4"))

Captivating new work by Bret Culp and Julie McGregor focuses on intimate moments that express a quietness of spirit. Culp's dramatic black and white photographs of Tuscany and Ireland reveal the beauty of impermanence. McGregor's emotional portraits and romantic images of Italy capture longed for moments in time.

This exhibition concludes the Varley Art Gallery's 10th anniversary celebration and is the second biennial contemporary portraiture exhibition.
Portraiture in this context is also defined as "identity", to include the full breadth of perspectives on Canadian portraiture.
The exhibition is presented in partnership with the Ontario Society of Artists, Portrait Society of Canada and Sculptors Society of Canada. The exhibition was juried by Yves Theoret, Director of Exhibitions and Interpretation for the Portrait Gallery of Canada; Odon Wagner, Owner of the Odon Wagner Gallery; and George Boileau, Sculptor and Associate Professor in the Faculty of Art at the Ontario College of Art and Design.


With two simple moves – organising the house in linear fashion along a contour and using the same local stone for walls and roofs – Sanei Hopkins has lifted this Peak District house well above the ordinary.
The judges were particularly impressed by the efforts made by the architect and the client to embed sustainable design principles in the project's core. This is a thesis on how contemporary architecture can work within a national park.


The Pack is coming off a 29-24 season that included a 20-9 record in MW games, good enough for its second conference title in a four-year span.
The Wolf Pack baseball team will look to begin its 2019 season with a bit of selective memory.
Nevada wants to embrace its recent success and to build upon its Mountain West regular-season title from last season. At the same time, dwelling on the disappointing finish to the season won't serve much of a purpose.
The Pack is coming off a 29-24 season that included a 20-9 record in Mountain West games, good enough for its second conference championship in a four-year span. But the year came to a sooner-than-expected end with consecutive losses to UNLV and San Jose State in the Mountain West tournament in San Diego.
The Pack opens the season Friday against Missouri State at a tournament hosted by Texas State in San Marcos, Texas. Nevada is scheduled to play three times in the event.
"This team is well-equipped to make another run and defend their title; I'm excited about what the future holds for these guys," Nevada head coach T.J. Bruce said last week. "It's an exciting time. Like I'll tell our guys – if they're not excited, they've got to check themselves a little bit.
Bruce, entering his fourth season, was the Mountain West coach of the year in 2018. His 53 MW wins over the past three seasons are the most in the conference.
The three tournament games this week are just the beginning of a long string of road games for Nevada, which – as typically happens – will spend the first portion of the season away from Reno. The Wolf Pack is scheduled for 16 games on the road before its home-opener at Don Weir Field at Peccole Park on March 15 against New Mexico.
"The one thing is, you've got to win on the road. That's the bottom line," Bruce said. "I love going on the road; I think it's great. It allows these guys to grow up. Here (home games), you can get comfortable. (Road games) allow you to bond a little bit more; it's just the X amount of guys that are with you and that's all you've got.
Nevada must replace a number of key contributors from last season, and will count on some immediate help from a 13-strong group of newcomers that includes four transfers. The Wolf Pack will be without Mountain West player of the year Grant Fennell (.389 average, five home runs, 52 RBI) in the outfield and must also replace pitcher Mark Nowaczewski (5-4, 5.28 ERA in 90-plus innings), its usual Friday starter.
But the cupboard is hardly bare. Nevada returns all-Mountain West first team players Kaleb Foster (.310/6/20) at catcher and Mountain West freshman of the year Joshua Zamora (.355/9/33) in the infield, along with second-team selection Jake Jackson (8-4/5.42/77 strikeouts) on the mound. The list of returning veterans also includes first baseman Dillan Shrum (.312/7/46) and Weston Hatten (.250/4/32), the Pack's only returning starting outfielder.
The large group of newcomers is highlighted by pitcher Owen Sharts, one of the most visible recruits in program history, who enrolled at Nevada after being selected by the Texas Rangers in the amateur draft.
As the lengthy, 56-game regular season nears, Nevada can look forward to one long-term goal. As defending conference champion, the Wolf Pack will host the Mountain West tournament, scheduled for May 23-26.

Given most of us are in a perpetual state of distraction thanks to social media and our smartphones (and funny memes… and MAFS...!), it's no wonder the Slow Food and Slow Living Movement exist. Now without further ado we'd like you to meet our most trusted friend of all… the Slow Beauty movement.
Though 'Slow Beauty' may sound like the name of a retired racing horse, it's actually a flourishing lifestyle trend that's all about adopting a natural and holistic approach to taking good care of yourself.
It involves not giving in tothe mainstream beauty industry's quick-fixes, invasive options and immediate results; but rather, it's about reshaping your ideals and ideas around beauty.
It champions a long-awaited and much needed reconnection to self; an antidote to the fast-paced world of the beauty industry.
Here's a few simple ways you can jump on the Slow Beauty train and glow, baby, glow!
DAILY SELF CAREis all about carving a few small moments out of each day to practice the kind of mindful self-care and wellness that makes you glow. When practiced over time, these little moments add up to big results - you feel healthier, joyful and more radiant too. Journaling, a cup of tea, a mindful skincare routine... these daily rituals all matter.
SIMPLE SKINCAREYou don't need a full arsenal of lotions and potions; less is more. Use natural, good-for-you products (like Happy!) and integrate these as a non-negotiable part of your day to anoint your skin with beauty vitamins and plant-based nutrients so you can get glowing from the inside out. Slow Beauty is all about working harmoniously with your skin to produce more natural, softer results.
SLOW AGEINGSo many marketing ads for international beauty houses portray ageing as something to fear and be ashamed of. But Slow Beauty invites you to stop feeling dissatisfied with the natural ageing process and simply be the best version of yourself - graceful, kind, thoughtful, generous. Ageing is an entirely natural - and unavoidable - process. It's how we do it that counts. Nourishing and caring for your skin is surely better than subjecting it to a host of toxins, needles and painful surgeries in the name of smoothing out every wrinkle.
THREE PILLARS OF HEALTHThe food you eat, the way you move your body and how much sleep you get are all intertwined. These also affect the way your skin looks. A healthy body inside equals glowing skin on the outside. So where possible eat fresh, seasonal produce, exercise, and get your shut-eye!
SWITCH OFFSlow Beauty is here to encourage you to switch off, to slow down, to stop and be present, and to enjoy every juicy second of it. We can do this through mindfulness. In a nutshell mindfulness is just taking the time for the things that matter most. When it comes to beauty, it simply means understanding the old adage that real beauty comes from within – and so health and emotional wellbeing are key to looking your best.
BE YOURSELFIn an age when women (and men) are bombarded - through TV, magazines, music videos and advertising - with standardised images of the "perfection" they can never hope to attain, Slow Beauty is about setting you free to be yourself. Let's celebrate individuality, embrace our differences and refuse to be clones.
The world is not slowing down any time soon, and it's up to you to set boundaries and embrace Slow Beauty. It'sall about carving a few small moments out of each day to practice the kind of mindful self-care, wellness and self-acceptance that makes you glow.
When practised over time, these little moments add up to big results - not only in feeling healthier and more joyful, but in achieving true beauty and timeless ageing.
What does slow beauty mean to you?

The Larry Rothschild Effect
November 16, 2011 by Mike 10 Comments
(Jason Miller/Getty Images)
When the Yankees somewhat surprisingly* hired pitching coach Larry Rothschild last offseason, we heard that he had a reputation for helping his pitchers increase their strikeout rates and decrease their unintentional walk rates. Guys like Ryan Dempster, Rich Harden, and Tom Gorzelanny saw improvement in both categories after joining the Cubs, and those are only three of the most notable examples. The Yankees brought Rothschild aboard hoping he'd coax a few more whiffs out of their pitching staff while reducing the number of free passes.
During the 2009 and 2010 seasons (under Dave Eiland), Yankees' pitchers struck out 19.65% of the batters they faced and unintentionally walked 8.54%. Those numbers improved to 19.80% and 7.52% under Rothschild in 2011, respectively. The strikeout improvement from just 2010 to 2011 was a bit more substantial, as you can see in the table to the right. That shouldn't be a huge surprise; the Javy Vazquez and Chad Gaudin and Dustin Moseley types were placed with Freddy Garcia, Bartolo Colon, and Rafael Soriano. Offense around the league continued to drop as well.
On an individual level, a number of Yankees' pitchers improved their underlying performance under Rothschild this past season. You can see those players in the table to the right, though I left out guys who dealt with significant injury problems (Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, Cory Wade, Colon, Soriano) and those that bounced between the rotation and bullpen (Joba and Hughes) since the start of 2009. With the exception of relatively small increases in Garcia's and David Robertson's walk rates, all of these guys showed improvement in their strikeout and unintentional walk rates. Some of them, like CC Sabathia (+2.66% strikeouts and -0.94% walks) and A.J. Burnett (+0.99% strikeouts), showed significant improvement. Those two aren't young kids coming into their own, their veteran guys with long track records.
So that's great, they're striking out more batters while walking fewer, but how are they doing it? In an effort to explain, let's look at the individual pitch breakdown for those fellas…
The fastballs in the table references all kinds of fastballs, so two-seamers, four-seamers, cutters, sinkers, etc. Breaking balls are both curveballs and sliders. I didn't want to get too nuts with the breakdown of individual pitches because all I wanted to see was the usage of hard stuff compared to the usage of soft stuff. I also left Mariano Rivera out of this because he takes pity on the rest of the league and does not throw any kind of breaking ball.
With the exception of Robertson, all of those guys threw significantly more breaking balls in 2011 than they did from 2009-2010 according to PitchFX (via Texas Leaguers). We're talking an increase of around four percentage points, in some cases more. Data from Baseball Info Solutions (via FanGraphs) says the Yankees went from 69.2% fastballs and 22.6% breaking balls as a team from 2009-2010 to 66.1% and 26.2% in 2011, respectively. Two different tracking systems, but we're seeing a similar increase in breaking ball usage, roughly four percentage points.
You can play connects the dots here and say that the increase in breaking balls contributed to the increase in strikeouts, it definitely passes the sniff test. I'm not sure how throwing more breaking balls would decrease unintentional walks though, since many breaking balls are intentionally thrown out of the strike zone. We'd have to look at when the extra breaking balls are being thrown, which sadly is well beyond my PitchFX capabilities. I suspect many of those extra sliders and curveballs are being thrown early in the count rather than later, which has allowed the Yankees' pitchers to get ahead in the count more often. Sure enough, the Yankees had the highest first pitch strike percentage (61.8%) in MLB this season, up from 58.1% from 2009-2010. That will certainly help explain more strikeouts and fewer walks.
Now obviously correlation does not equal causation. One year of data doesn't tell us much of anything, whereas the studies linked in the first paragraph cover years of data and thousands of batters faced. The Yankees' pitching staff showed traits consistent with Rothschild's track record during his first year at the helm, possibly because they threw more offspeed stuff earlier in the count. We'll never really know what improvement (or decline) the pitching coach is responsible for and what he isn't from where we sit, but Rothschild has been doing this for quite some time, and the improved strikeout and walks rates seem to have followed him from team to team.
* Surprising only because we hadn't heard his name mentioned as a candidate. It really was out of left field.

Positive report from Hughes's first workout
April 20, 2011 by Joe Pawlikowski 11 Comments
For anyone looking for the latest on Phil Hughes throwing a baseball, Wallace Matthews of ESPN New York has a tidbit on his first throwing session. According to Larry Rothschild, relayed through Joe Girardi, Hughes "had some life on the ball when he was long tossing." I'm not sure exactly how one shows life during long tosses, and the PR skeptic in me thinks this is just Rothschild saying what people want to hear. He probably could have said, "It's tough to tell anything from one long toss session," but that's not going to sate anyone's hunger for updates on the situation.
If you're a Baseball Prospectus subscriber, you can get a further glimpse into Rothschild's personality in his Q&A with David Laurila. He comes off as a humble man, but he also clearly watches his words with the media. That only further plays into my skepticism of his report on Hughes. He also makes some general statements on how stats have affected his job, which is probably the most interesting part of the interview.

2011 Season Preview: Joe Girardi & Co.
March 24, 2011 by Mike 14 Comments
(AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
Two years ago, it all clicked. The rebuilt starting rotation was one of the league's most effective units, the offense was devastating, and the bullpen corps was deep and effective. Joe Girardi didn't have to do much managing and his coaching staff didn't have to do much coaching, they just rode their talent to the World Championship. It's easy to look good when you have that team playing for you.
Last year was a little different. The rotation, stronger on paper than it was going into the 2009 season, fell apart at the seams down the stretch. The offense still led the world in on-base percentage and (not coincidentally) runs scored, but several notable players had down years. That the Yankees still won 95 games and were two wins away from the World Series is pretty remarkable. After the season, the Yankees rewarded both Girardi and hitting coach Kevin Long with new three-year contracts. Pitching coaching Dave Eiland was replaced with Larry Rothschild, but the rest of the staff came back intact.
Ben put best when he previewed Girardi last year, so allow me to excerpt…
In that sense, Girardi is a fairly average manager. He changes pitchers as we would expect; he bunts a little less than we might expect him to; he doesn't need pinch hitters and doesn't use them often at all. Yet, he has gotten a handle on the media, and he knows what it takes — a trope really — to win in New York. He has made nice with the sportswriters who cover the team after a rough first year, and he has commanded the respect of his players, including the four with whom he was teammates not too long ago.
On the flip side, though, Joe Girardi doesn't need to do much to manage the Yankees. He has the pieces to make up a great team, and it doesn't take an expert strategist to know that A-Rod should bat clean-up, that Derek Jeter should leadoff, that CC Sabathia should be the ace, that Mariano Rivera will close games. It's the Joe Torre argument all over again: All Girardi has to do is make sure everyone gets along well and no pitcher is overworked.
All of that applies again in 2011, though perhaps the decision to bat Jeter leadoff isn't as obvious as it was twelve months ago. Penciling Andruw Jones' name into the lineup against left-handers and properly deploying not one, but two lefty relief specialists is the extent of the strategic managing Girardi has to do. Given all of the information we don't know (who's banged up, etc.), quibbling with those decisions is a fruitless endeavor. Girardi is no longer a lame duck manager and in reality he never really was. He was hand-picked for the job by Brian Cashman and Hal Steinbrenner three years ago, and his job is secure as ever. All he has to do is not screw it up, and the last three seasons suggest he won't.
(AP Photo/Mike Carlson)
Long has drawn rave reviews for his work with pretty much every hitter in the lineup, most notably Nick Swisher and Curtis Granderson, though Jeter is his latest project. They haven't revamped his swing, just shortened his stride, and the early returns in Spring Training are promising. Eiland spent a month away from the team last summer for undisclosed personal reasons, an issue that may or may not have led to his departure. "He knows why [he wasn't brought back]," said Cashman. "He was given conditions that needed to be followed. So he knows why."
Rothschild, the bullpen coach for the 1990 World Champion Reds and pitching coach for the 1997 World Champion Marlins, came over from the Cubs after spending seven years on Chicago's north side. During his tenure, the Cubbies had the third best overall pitching staff (4.18 FIP) in the National League, and their starting rotation (4.15 FIP) was the the best in the league and third in all of baseball, behind the Red Sox (4.11) and Yankees (4.12). He has a reputation as a guy that helps his pitchers maximize strikeouts and reduce walks, two very welcome traits for a pitching staff that was just middle-of-the-pack with a 2.14 K/BB ratio last year.
His biggest project in 2011 will be getting A.J. Burnett back on track following a dreadful season. The two met at Burnett's home over the winter, and so far Rothschild has him working on being more compact in his delivery and direct to the plate, modifications that have been on display in camp. Beyond A.J., he'll have to coax quality innings out of Bartolo Colon and/or Freddy Garcia until a more suitable pitcher(s) is acquired. That may take a minor miracle, but Colon has thrown the snot out of the ball in camp so far.
By all accounts, the Yankees' clubhouse is an upbeat and welcoming environment, something that wasn't necessarily true a few years ago. Sabathia and Nick Swisher helped change that, certainly, but the it all starts at the top with Girardi and his coaching staff. It's always tough to evaluate those guys because so much of their work happens behind the scenes, but given the team's success over the last two years, it's tough to think they're not up to the challenge of another run at the World Series.

Rothschild to meet with Burnett in coming weeks
January 3, 2011 by Mike 37 Comments
Via Buster Olney, new pitching coach Larry Rothschild is expected to fly down to Maryland to visit with A.J. Burnett in the coming weeks. A.J. called Rothschild as soon as he was hired, and the two are expected to talk about mechanics and whatnot at the upcoming pow-wow. I'm sure the cynics among us will say this should have happened weeks ago, but these guys can't focus on baseball all year long. It's 162 games plus Spring Training plus the playoffs, and everyone needs time to unwind and clear their head.

Larry Rothschild's effect on pitchers
When the Yankees hired Larry Rothschild away from the Cubs to be their new pitching coach yesterday, Ben noted that his staffs tend to boast high strikeout rates. Earlier this summer a poster on the FanGraphs Community blog looked at exactly that, and found out that pitchers did in fact improve their strikeout rates with Rothschild, close to 2.5% as a group. But what about walks? Another Cubs Blog tackled that a few days later and found that yep, pitchers improved their unintentional walk rate with Rothschild as well. More strikeouts and fewer walks is a great recipe for success.
The Yanks as a group struck out 0.62 fewer batters and walked 0.19 more (per nine innings pitched) in 2010 than in 2009, with CC Sabathia's rates taking a hit in particular. With any luck, Rothschild will help get the staff back into strikeout mode, which would be a tremendous help.

Larry Rothschild named new Yankee pitching coach
November 19, 2010 by Benjamin Kabak 127 Comments

Updated (5:20 p.m.): The Yankees have signed 37-year Major League vet Larry Rothschild to serve as the club's pitching coach. Rothschild, who most recently had served as the Cubs' pitching coach from 2002-2010, served as a coach on two World Series teams: the 1990 Reds where he served as the bullpen coach and the 1997 Marlins where he worked as the pitching coach.
"Larry will be a welcome addition to our pitching staff. He comes with an impressive resume as a former Major League manager and a world champion pitching coach. He has a great reputation with his players, who know they can trust him and rely on him to put them in a position to succeed," said Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman.
Rothschild, 56, seems to be a strike out-oriented coach. His Cubs clubs led the majors with 11,604 strike outs over the last nine seasons, and set a Major League record with 1404 K's in 2003. He signed with the Reds as a non-drafted free agent in 1975 and spent 11 years in the minors. He made just seven career relief appearances with Detroit in 1981 and 1982 and allowed 5 earned runs on 8 hits and 8 walks while striking out just one in 8.1 innings. His coaching career has been far more successful.
His first job on the bench came with the Reds where he served as a roving minor league instructor for four seasons before he joined the club in Cincinnat as the bullpen coach. He was a Reds pitching coach from 1992-1993, worked with the Marlins in the same capacity from 1995-1997 and managed the Tampa Bay Devil Rays from their inaugural season in 1998 through April 18, 2001.
"Larry brings a wealth of invaluable experience to our team and to our pitching staff," Yankees Manager Joe Girardi said. "He's a championship pitching coach, and I'm excited to add Larry's abilities to our staff. He is above all else an excellent teacher, who brings a professional attitude and a keen sense of preparation to his craft. I'm very much looking forward to working with him moving forward."
Rothschild: A.J. can still be 'very effective'
During an press conference with reporters shortly after the announcement, Rothschild spoke about the hiring process and his views on the Yanks' pitching staff. Cashman put the candidates through a rigorous interview process which included approximately eight hours of video including two A.J. Burnett appearances and a CC Sabathia and a Phil Hughes appearance.
Rothschild spoke specifically of the need to straighten out Burnett. "I think he can be a very effective Major League pitcher," the new pitching coach said. He certainly has his work cut out for him in that regard.

I've always been informed that i have this flaw. What it really means is "you talk too much" and it also means…shut up. In my small corner of this world, i have to understand why things…and people, are the way they are. If someone who was once warm & no longer is, i have to know why. I have to understand what i did to cause it, and if i want to…to fix it, or walk away. Some people communicate their feelings by their actions. Impatience, irritable, anger…all this can be seen through their body language & their facial expressions. When someone changes their behavior toward me – the woman who talks too much – your body language speaks volumes.
OH! UPDATE…i was reading a book & the man said this to a woman & she said, "One of us has to" Isn't that awesome!
and this is why i'd rather be a cat.

Radar company Earth Radar has completed a trial of its ground-penetrating radar system which uncovered an underground object that could have halted a road repaving project.
Not knowing about the location of underground utility infrastructure when beginning construction can carry significant safety risks. For example, if an excavator begins digging and hits a live wire or a high-pressure gas line, the results can be disastrous.
Unfortunately, the infrastructure buried underneath urban roads is not always are accounted for in official records.
The people that installed them may have retired or the information about their whereabouts could be scattered among old databases.
Digging up this information can be a time-consuming process for a construction company that is eager to start work as soon as possible. To save time, radar company Earth Radar has developed ground penetrating radar (GPR) and surface imaging systems that provide precise information about what is buried beneath.
Earth Radar uses a mixture of GPR and electromagnetic induction (EMI) to find underground objects, as the latter can only detect conductive materials, meaning plastic pipes can be missed.
One of the tools the company uses to get these readings is called the Latro, a push-cart subsurface capture device. The Latro uses 16 radar channels that use a variety of frequencies to produce a detailed report.
Bobby Friesz, Earth Radar NSW Manager, says other similar radar devices only use two channels. He compares it to watching a video in standard definition compared with high definition.
"The Latro provides what we call 3D GPR, as it has more channels to cycle through to get the clearest results possible," he explains.
"One of the major limitations of traditional GPR systems is the fact they require you to scan perpendicular to the object which you are hoping to find. Along a road or footpath, this isn't always possible as there are pipes, conduits and assets orientated along many different directions.
The Latro system also integrates positioning information to provide a dataset which can be analysed in comparison with other records, plans or survey information. It is also equipped with a line-scan camera and light bar to capture high-resolution imagery of the surface for each GPR profile, which can then be fully geo-referenced with the GPR data.
Mr. Friesz says this information can be vital, as information from other services only provide general information on major infrastructure, revealing only the approximate location and might not include lead-ins that run to a business or house.
Earth Radar recently performed a trial scan of the Latro for a roadway project in NSW which contained a significant number of underground services and where they found an unexpected surprise.
"We began our standard operating procedure using GPR and EMI, looking for anything that was crossing underneath the road. The client was going to mill and repave the road, cutting out around 50 to 150 millimetres of the road, leaving a buffer of around 200 to 250 millimetres," Mr. Friesz explains.
"The client wanted to avoid running their milling machine into anything within a 350 to 400-millimetre range. Anything that fell into this buffer zone would be dug up for a visual inspection before roadworks began.
Because Earth Radar was able to find the sleepers, its client was able to remove them before it could cause damage to the machinery or interrupt works.
Mr. Friesz says this kind of discovery isn't uncommon for Earth Radar, which finds similar objects on other projects around Sydney.
"The fact companies are able to use our data to spot what's under the ground within a week's time means they are saving money by avoiding costly delays and can be sure of where they are digging," he adds.
Earth Radar's specialists are trained to locate, verify, map and model utilities, which Mr. Friesz says helps to provide their clients with the right information to manage their road networks.

Meghan Markle Plastic Surgery Before and After
Meghan Markle was born on August 4, 1981 in Los Angeles, California. Her professional acting career started in 2002 when she made her TV debut in an episode of General Hospital. She then appeared in a couple of TV shows before making her film debut in 2005's A Lot Like Love.
She has since appeared in the films Remember Me, Get Him to the Greek and Horrible Bosses. On TV, she had appearances on CSI: NY, 90210, Without a Trace, Fringe, The League and CSI: Miami before making her breakthrough for her role as Rachel Zane in the TV series Suits.
Has Meghan Markle had Plastic Surgery?
Achieving mainstream recognition for her role in Suits recently, Markle has found her niche on television. But as she continues to attract attention for her unique beauty and striking acting prowess, the 33-year-old actress seems to have received the unlikely perks of stardom – plastic surgery rumors. According to reports, Markle has had a breast augmentation procedure to establish a sexier image, which some actresses deem necessary to land roles.
Reports also claim that her present breasts appear bigger and rounder than they did years ago, instantly leading viewers to speculate that she had them enhanced. These rumors also say that she has undergone the operation early in her career, so this may be part of her preparation before making it big in Hollywood. With her major role on a well-known TV program and a couple of parts in a few films, her career is expected to soar, which made the alleged boob job worth it, at least for her career.

The following editorial was previously published by The Lawyer's Daily, June 16, 2022.
Philosopher Thomas Sowell once quipped, "You will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that for bureaucrats, procedure is everything and outcomes are nothing."
Sowell's pithy observation rings true for Elise Michalski, a PhD student at McMaster University. Elise is an outstanding student and a member of multiple committees and programs related to sustainability and innovation, including MacChangers and the Bay Area Climate Change Implementation Team. She has supported over 30 other students in their respective research projects and has published four peer-reviewed research articles while still a student. Her work earned her the 2020 McMaster Alumni Association Hamilton Community Impact Award, along with a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship worth $150,000.
Obviously, this young lady is motivated, intelligent and involved.
She is also a devout adherent of the Catholic Church. So, when the university adopted a COVID-19 vaccine mandate in September 2021, Elise could not comply. Her conscientious convictions meant she could not take a vaccine that was developed or tested using cells from an aborted child.
Elise spent a week crafting an articulate request for accommodation. Having completed everything but her thesis, she was prepared to study from home to finish her doctorate. But in a standardized e-mail from McMaster's Vaccine Validation Team, she was informed that her religious exemption request was considered "in good faith" and denied. In part, the university bureaucrats concluded that, because Pope Francis encouraged Catholics to be vaccinated, Elise's position was inconsistent with her church's teachings and was simply a "singular belief" rather than a "creed" which would merit accommodation. (As records become available in the future, it will be worth studying just how "in good faith" these bureaucrats were, given the fact that universities across the country seem to have relied on the same boilerplate responses with eerily similar forms, language, and decisions — a striking unanimity for institutions of critical thought.)
The problem with this approach is that religious freedom in Canada is an individual right. Although religious practice has communal aspects, the right to freedom of religion does not hinge on whether certain beliefs "are objectively recognized as valid by other members of the same religion," as the Supreme Court of Canada stated in 2004 — "nor is such an inquiry appropriate for courts to make" (Syndicat Northcrest v. Amselem 2004 SCC 47). The court's role is only to determine the sincerity of an individual's beliefs, not the doctrinal soundness of her views.
Ontario Divisional Court
Elise was one of four applicants to a court action to overturn McMaster's vaccine mandate, handled by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms. Her legal team decided that it was faster to apply to the Divisional Court for judicial review rather than use the much slower route of the provincial human rights apparatus. Time was of the essence for Elise and her fellow applicants.
Unfortunately, the three-member panel of the Divisional Court insisted that, while they had discretionary jurisdiction to rule on the reasonableness of the university's decision, they would not do so because "there is another process available to the Applicants that is more appropriate for the adjudication of the claim" (para. 11) (Michalski v. McMaster University 2022 ONSC 2625). In other words, the proper place for the first hearing was the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, which could better address the "allegation of creed-based discrimination" (para. 67).
The time-sensitive nature of the case did not seem to concern them. The court argued that the issue of speed "does not offset the other factors that weigh in the balance" (para. 75). Yet, to the hearts and minds of the students involved, a swift resolution was the most important factor of all. Their entire educational and professional lives were at stake. From the court's perspective, however, the "negative impact of unenrollment" should not be "overstated" (para. 84).
Normally, the court's decision not to take jurisdiction would be the end of the matter. Yet here, the court carried on by delving into the substantive arguments of the judicial review application.
The court outlined the various templates provided by the university, including boilerplate responses pre-empting various objections to the COVID-19 vaccine. The materials quoted suggest the court was more sympathetic to the university's position. For instance, the court did not question the relevance or fairness of McMaster's expectation that applicants defend their position by stating their views on other medications such as Aspirin or Tylenol, which allegedly also used abortion-related material in their development. Given that the university did not disclose this requirement, it would seem unjust to deny accommodation based on evidence that was not requested or mentioned. How exactly were students supposed to divine what the university wanted? And how could their consciences be pricked or their sincerity called into question over something they did not know?
In assessing the procedural fairness and reasonableness, the court noted that the McMaster evaluation process "did not resemble judicial or quasi-judicial decision-making;" therefore, its duty of fairness would not feature the "protections typically afforded to litigants who appear before an adjudicative tribunal" (para. 80). Second, the court accepted that the university was not required to have an adjudicative process (para. 81). Third, the "institutional constraints" and the "broader factual and social context" — i.e., having to follow public health orders, working under time constraints, and facing a "flood of exemption requests" — meant the university had to create a streamlined process (para. 82).
"[W]e conclude that the university owed a duty of fairness to the Applicants," said the court, "but one with only rudimentary procedural requirements" (para. 85). Even though students were not told what supporting documentation would be relevant or required, the court held that "there is no evidence that the lack of disclosure resulted in any procedural unfairness in this case" (para. 91). According to the court, the students had "an obligation to put their best foot forward" (para. 90).
As to bias — another requirement for procedural fairness — the applicants argued that the Validation Team was only trained to deny requests, not to determine bona fides. They pointed out there was a "Denial Rationale document, but no comparable Approval Rationale document" (para. 95). The court was "not persuaded by these arguments" as the documents "did not fetter the decision-makers' discretion" but rather "strengthened institutional decision-making by encouraging consistency" (para. 97). According to the court, "there is no evidence that the Validation Team treated all creed-based exemption requests as spurious or failed to give the Applicants' requests proper consideration" (ibid).
In short, the court declared it would not use its discretion to take jurisdiction of the case, then proceeded to make a 27-page decision dealing with virtually all the points it would be required to address if it took jurisdiction. The court implied that taking jurisdiction would be a waste of time and resources, then spent considerable time to write and process a decision that could have been given in 10 sentences.
Why? Given the details of the decision, it is apparent that the court had little sympathy for the applicants or their religious beliefs. Their concerns and losses were downplayed as inconsequential compared to the extraordinary pressures that the University faced in dealing with the pandemic. In essence, the court used its platform to buttress McMaster's process and thereby pre-empt any further litigation on the matter — at least on judicial review issues.
Given that virtually all the universities and colleges in Ontario followed the same process, this decision seems to affirm that the legal system "has their back." Religious students, on the other hand, have not fared so well. This decision is further evidence of a disconcerting trend of refusing to accommodate religious practice in Canada — a trend which has only intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. I have called it a "Legal Revolution" for a reason.
The denial of due process by the Divisional Court in this case — the failure to recognize the hardship of the students — is, in short, a denial of justice.

Hollywood's 7 Worst Family Member Managers
Published on July 16, 2014. Updated April 4, 2017
Some celebrities forgo getting an experienced manager who knows the entertainment business and instead hire a family member to help them navigate Hollywood's intricacies. For some stars, this doesn't end up being such a bad idea but, for others, it has turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes of their careers. We decided to take a look at some of Hollywood's worst parent managers and find out why they should have never been given that kind of responsibility to begin with. Check out our list of Hollywood's 7 Worst Family Member Managers!
7. Jessica Simpson's Dad (Joe Simpson)
Jessica Simpson's father Joe Simpson has been her manager since she first launched her career as a singer. Over the years, he has disgusted countless people by openly discussing his daughter's ample bosom. "Jessica never tries to be sexy. … She just is sexy. If you put her in a T-shirt or you put her in a bustier, she's sexy in both. She's got double D's! You can't cover those suckers up," Joe said. If that's not inappropriate, we don't know what is!
6. Lindsay Lohan's Mom (Dina Lohan)
Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina has been managing her career since she rose to fame as a child. During the height of her daughter's fame, she was bringing home between 10 to 15% of her Lindsay's earnings; however, that wasn't enough to prompt her to act more like a manager and less like a friend. Over the years, Dina was seen partying with Lindsay when she was still underage and also when she was in recovery. Dina is easily one of the worst momager's in history.
5. Katherine Heigl's Mother (Nancy Heigl)
One of Hollywood's most hated actresses Katherine Heigl is rumored to be a piece of work; however, her mother/manager is even worse. "I have never experienced anything like Nancy Heigl," a source told The Hollywood Reporter. "It's about the mouth. 'F**k you. You are a f**king liar'…Whatever you'd say, you were an idiot. The call would be, 'This is the worst craft service we've ever had! There's nothing to eat! This is the worst wardrobe!' You knew that every day, you were going to get slammed."
4. Aaron Carter's Parents
When Aaron Carter was first taking over the pop scene, his parents managed his finances. This didn't turn out to be such a great idea. In 2003, he filed for legal emancipation from his mother, alleging that she took more than $100,000 from his bank account. Things have only gotten worse since. In 2013, the former pop star was forced to file for bankruptcy. He claimed to have tax and credit debts exceeding $3.5 million and only $977.16 in cash.
3. Macaulay Culkin's Father (Kit Culkin)
During the height of his fame, Macaulay Culkin's controlling and abrasive father Kit Culkin managed his career. Kit quickly established his son as the highest paid child actor; however, he reportedly alienated numerous people in the business with his ludicrous demands. Things came to a head when Kit split with Macaulay's mother and embarked on a bitter custody battle with his ex over his son's career and finances. In the midst of it all, the "Home Alone" star emancipated himself from his parents, took control of his money and all but retired from the entertainment business.
2. Kim Kardashian's Mom (Kris Jenner)
Kim Kardashian's mother Kris Jenner is one of Hollywood's most famous momagers – and not for especially good reasons. She has earned reputation for doing whatever it takes to keep her family famous and to ensure that the money continues to roll in. Rumor has it that Kris brokered the sale of Kim's sex tape in 2007. The tape, which was leaked prior to the release of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," is what launched the family to stardom. Without it, who knows how interested everyone would have been in the family's show!
1. LeAnn Rimes' Dad (Wilbur Rimes)
When LeAnn Rimes first established herself as a country superstar, her father Wilbur Rimes was one of her managers. Everything was fine between these two until LeAnn sued her father and co-manager Lyle Walker for swindling at least $6 million from her during the preceding five years. She also alleged that both men made unreasonable fees and took advantage of her label Asylum-Curb for financial gain. The lawsuit was settled on undisclosed terms and the two managed to reconcile in time for LeAnn's wedding to Dean Sheremet.
