Here you'll find bracing mixture of the music which have been on air for last decades with something special and reopened. I wouldn't say that The Beths evolved a lot during a couple of years of its life. Same people, same manner, but isn't it a sign of elaborated style?
The voice rises upon upbeat rhythm section and accurate guitar parties, thanks to Elizabeth Stokes, lead singer and the star of the quartet. The Beths have a bunch of weird videas published, as wierd as their songs are. Also check their tour schedule: it's a long list going deep in 2019 and it's great!
This reminds me a lot to the 90s indie music movement. A nice change of pace from what I usually listen to.

Departure: Carla Werner's Arrival
"She sounds like a female Jeff Buckley when she sings" was the line from an American review that was the most obvious one to latch onto when approaching the work of Carla Werner, even though, let's face it, beyond his ever-toussleable hair and eminently chuckable chin, Jeff Buckley sounded like a female Jeff Buckley when he sang! When she speaks, Carla Werner is ever the Kiwi; although she moved to Australia at age 19, the ensuing decade has had little effect on her accent. Yet, irrespective of how she feels or what her legal standing may be, now that she has got an international profile in showbiz, she's an Aussie - just like Russell Crowe, Split Enz and the Datsuns.
Early in his writing career, Woody Allen used the description "she had a body that resembled Louis Armstrong's voice". The thing about Carla Werner is that she has a body that resembles her voice. As stunningly beautiful as she is on her CD cover and related artwork, she's even more gorgeous in the flesh. But then she opens her mouth and sings and - if you can get beyond letting it wash over you numb and dumbstruck - you begin to realise that she can sound like Jeff Buckley. She has the vibrato, the range, and the ability to leap from this note all the way down here to that one all the way up there, effortlessy, and back again. She also can sound like Joni Mitchell, and has been likened to "a young Joan Baez", but admits to Buckley's influence most readily, without wishing to get caught up within it.
Werner's only shortcoming at this early stage of her career is an understandable lack of experience. Thus, she has few anecdotes and little interview experience, so her answers to questions have a tendency to waffle. She also seems to be keen to defend a position that hasn't even been established, let alone called into question, which makes her seem to take herself too seriously. In time, she will have developed an interview persona that communicates who she is as readily as her songs do; my lack of experience meant that, whereas I should have edited her more closely, and played more of her songs, I left everything intact.
The first time I went to see Carla Werner perform, I was introduced to her by some Sony people between sets. She seemed pleasant enough to me, but greeted the woman next to me with a great deal more gusto (a hearty smile, a peck on the cheek, an ensuing conversation). Carla recognised her as the then-struggling writer who had profiled Werner for a free 'street' publication some years earlier. (It is to this journalist, a woman called Janine, to whom I owe the insight of Carla's early collaboration with Paul Oakenfold.) When it came time for me to do my interview some weeks later, I was early and happened to run into Carla in the foyer. Usually the artiste is safely ensconsed in an office before the journalist is announced and brought in. Carla Werner had no reason to recognise me after a brief introduction amongst many such brief introductions between sets at an industry showcase performance weeks earlier, and yet did, and started chatting long before we got the tape rolling and were 'on the record'. Thus, if it sounds as if I'm going in soft, it's only because there's no reason to go in hard. Listen to Carla Werner's album Departure for yourself if you get a chance. It's beautiful.
The interview was broadcast March 13 2004.
Music: 'Heaven' - Carla Werner
Demetrius Romeo: Carla, you've been away for the last few years. In that time you've recorded an album and debuted in another country. It almost feels as if you had to leave Australia to make a start to your musical career. Why is this the case?
CARLA WERNER: I didn't set out to say, 'right, I can't make it here, so I'm going to go overseas and make it over there'. It was a step-by-step circumstance that happened in my musical life. I wanted to record an album independently because the labels here didn't really know what to do with me – in all fairness, I was still in the middle of developing my songwriting style – so I just chose a producer who I wanted to do some work with, and it was John Holbrook, who had done Natalie Merchant's Tigerlily album. We sent some stuff to him and he replied. He said, 'yep, sure, get on a plane and get over here and let's do some work'.
Demetrius Romeo: It's interesting that you mention Natalie Merchant, formerly of 10,000 Maniacs; a lot of people have compared you to lots of different singers, and the main ones seem to be Jeff Buckley, also to 'a young Joan Baez', and I also hear shades of Joni Mitchell on your album. Which of these seem to make sense to you?
CARLA WERNER: I think, definitely not Joan Baez, because I've never really been a huge fan of hers, although I appreciate what she has done for music, as I appreciate all the artists you've just mentioned. Joni Mitchell is not someone I listen to on a major scale - I think that her work is amazing and I have two of her albums, Ladies of the Canyon and Clouds and they are really amazing records, to me, incredible songwriting and melody. And of course, the late and great Jeff Buckley, who I saw live at the Metro when he came out to Australia and absolutely blew everyone in this world away. I think, equally, those three artists have brought something new and engaging to music as a whole. I probably would say that I have been more influenced by Jeff Buckley's work, out of all three of them. But, in saying that, I have a myriad of influences. He's just one of them.
Demetrius Romeo: What is it that you're bringing to music that's different to all of that?
CARLA WERNER: Mmmm. I don't know if you can really answer that. I just feel like, if anything, I just want to keep creating. I want to do something original, something that's different to what's going on in the music world, that people can escape into. I don't know; one hopes that the music they're creating is definitely their own individual take on things. And just 'originality', I guess. And an escapism for people; a world to escape into and then slip back out of whenever they want to.
Demetrius Romeo: I suppose calling an album Departure does speak a lot of 'escapism'. How does that feature in your music?
CARLA WERNER: There is definitely a theme of 'departure' in the songs – from being in one place of growth and moving through life and life's experiences, to reach another place of growth and understanding. And also, there's almost a dream-like quality to some of the songs. I am a self-confessed dreamer, I do sit around and I can get lost in my own imaginings and a lot of the work that came out on Departure, especially lyrical content, is testament to that. I am a bit of a dreamer and I do tend to go off into other worlds sometimes. I suppose that's also just paying homage to the influences I've had in my life, such as Kate Bush and Pink Floyd, very much artists who wrote in 'soundscape'-type ways. It's a very big influence on my work, I think.
Music: 'Southern Sun' - Paul Oakenfold featuring Carla Werner
Demetrius Romeo: A couple of years ago you featured as a vocalist on a Paul Oakenfold album. A lot of female artists, before they become known in their own right, feature on someone else's track. Sophie Ellis-Bextor did it, Dido did it. Why is this a path to development for a singer-songwriter?
CARLA WERNER: For that song in particular, I didn't set out to utilise it as being a key thing for me to do in order to boost my career. Absolutely, there are people that know I'm a vocalist through that track, who normally wouldn't listen to the music I create – the danceheads and the ravers. But that was a situation that came about all on its own, and wasn't one that I had any preconception about or that I needed to do. Again, it was just an opportunity that presented itself to me and I found it an interesting task to sink my teeth into, to write something different outside of Carla Werner music. It came about to be that he [Paul Oakenfold] really liked the song and the melody that I'd placed on the music. He used it on the album, which was a really great experience because it then took me off to Top of the Pops in the UK and it then introduced me to Robert Plant, who is a member of one of the best rock 'n' roll band that has ever existed, in my opinion. And one of my biggest influences, as well.
Demetrius Romeo: The people you have namechecked, like Pink Floyd, Kate Bush and Led Zeppelin, are all distinctive for taking music to the next place. I'm wondering where 'the next place' is for Carla Werner, after this album.
CARLA WERNER: Well that's a funny thing because I've been continually writing throughout this whole process. Even when I was stopping and starting inbetween, and doing sessions for Departure and trying to finish that album off, I was continually writing. And the music that was presenting itself – I have a bunch of songs ready to go for the next record and they are a bit more electric-oriented, something I can really sink my teeth into. I just hope that as a song writer I can continually evolve and continually keep writing interesting music. Honest music.

Here's What Hedge Funds Think About PerkinElmer, Inc. (PKI)
Published on June 19, 2019 at 10:17 pm by Nina Todic in Hedge Funds,News
A whopping number of 13F filings filed with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has been processed by Insider Monkey so that individual investors can look at the overall hedge fund sentiment towards the stocks included in their watchlists. These freshly-submitted public filings disclose money managers' equity positions as of the end of the three-month period that ended March 31, so let's proceed with the discussion of the hedge fund sentiment on PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE:PKI).
Is PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE:PKI) going to take off soon? Money managers are taking a bullish view. The number of bullish hedge fund bets rose by 6 in recent months. Our calculations also showed that pki isn't among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds. PKI was in 25 hedge funds' portfolios at the end of March. There were 19 hedge funds in our database with PKI positions at the end of the previous quarter.
Hedge funds' reputation as shrewd investors has been tarnished in the last decade as their hedged returns couldn't keep up with the unhedged returns of the market indices. Our research has shown that hedge funds' small-cap stock picks managed to beat the market by double digits annually between 1999 and 2016, but the margin of outperformance has been declining in recent years. Nevertheless, we were still able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that outperformed the market by 40 percentage points since May 2014 through May 30, 2019 (see the details here). We were also able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that underperformed the market by 10 percentage points annually between 2006 and 2017. Interestingly the margin of underperformance of these stocks has been increasing in recent years. Investors who are long the market and short these stocks would have returned more than 27% annually between 2015 and 2017. We have been tracking and sharing the list of these stocks since February 2017 in our quarterly newsletter.
We're going to view the key hedge fund action encompassing PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE:PKI).
Hedge fund activity in PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE:PKI)
At Q1's end, a total of 25 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey were bullish on this stock, a change of 32% from the fourth quarter of 2018. The graph below displays the number of hedge funds with bullish position in PKI over the last 15 quarters. So, let's examine which hedge funds were among the top holders of the stock and which hedge funds were making big moves.
Among these funds, Select Equity Group held the most valuable stake in PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE:PKI), which was worth $837 million at the end of the first quarter. On the second spot was Impax Asset Management which amassed $53.9 million worth of shares. Moreover, Echo Street Capital Management, Partner Fund Management, and Fisher Asset Management were also bullish on PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE:PKI), allocating a large percentage of their portfolios to this stock.
With a general bullishness amongst the heavyweights, some big names have jumped into PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE:PKI) headfirst. Partner Fund Management, managed by Christopher James, created the most valuable position in PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE:PKI). Partner Fund Management had $45.5 million invested in the company at the end of the quarter. Ben Levine, Andrew Manuel and Stefan Renold's LMR Partners also initiated a $4.5 million position during the quarter. The other funds with new positions in the stock are Michael Platt and William Reeves's BlueCrest Capital Mgmt., Andrew Feldstein and Stephen Siderow's Blue Mountain Capital, and Matthew Tewksbury's Stevens Capital Management.
Let's check out hedge fund activity in other stocks – not necessarily in the same industry as PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE:PKI) but similarly valued. These stocks are Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO), China Southern Airlines Co Ltd (NYSE:ZNH), NiSource Inc. (NYSE:NI), and Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (BATS:CBOE). This group of stocks' market caps match PKI's market cap.
TTWO 50 1424808 -8
ZNH 3 18911 -1
NI 18 691077 2
CBOE 22 881706 -2
Average 23.25 754126 -2.25
As you can see these stocks had an average of 23.25 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $754 million. That figure was $1118 million in PKI's case. Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand China Southern Airlines Co Ltd (NYSE:ZNH) is the least popular one with only 3 bullish hedge fund positions. PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE:PKI) is not the most popular stock in this group but hedge fund interest is still above average. This is a slightly positive signal but we'd rather spend our time researching stocks that hedge funds are piling on. Our calculations showed that top 20 most popular stocks among hedge funds returned 1.9% in Q2 through May 30th and outperformed the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) by more than 3 percentage points. Unfortunately PKI wasn't nearly as popular as these 20 stocks and hedge funds that were betting on PKI were disappointed as the stock returned -10.8% during the same period and underperformed the market. If you are interested in investing in large cap stocks with huge upside potential, you should check out the top 20 most popular stocks among hedge funds as 13 of these stocks already outperformed the market so far in Q2.

London Court: Assange must stay in jail
WikiLeaks founder Assange remains in custody. A London court denied his request to be released on bail. However, this does not end the process.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange remains in custody in the UK. A court in London denied the defense's motion to release the 49-year-old on bail. On Monday, the same judge rejected a US extradition request against Assange.
Vanessa Baraitser had based her first decision on Assange's mental health and the prison conditions that would await him in the United States. It is to be expected that he will commit suicide in solitary confinement. Now she said Assange could be treated well in the maximum security Belmarsh Prison. In addition, there is a risk that Assange will try to escape, as in the past.
Seven years in the Ecuadorian embassy
Assange had evaded prosecution at the Ecuadorian embassy in London for nearly seven years. An appeal can still be lodged against the judgment – as well as against the new decision.
The US judiciary accuses Assange of stealing and publishing secret material from US military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan together with whistleblower Chelsea Manning – then Bradley Manning. He put the lives of US informants in danger. His supporters, however, consider him an investigative journalist who has brought war crimes to light.
UN Special Rapporteur warns of precedent
The journalists' organization Reporters Without Borders no longer sees great chances of success for the US justice system. "It is very unlikely that a US appointment will be successful," said the organization's London representative, Rebecca Vincent. "I don't see what new arguments the lawyers could bring up in court." She hopes US President-elect Joe Biden will be able to settle Assange's prosecution when he takes office. Biden is slated to be sworn in on January 20th in the US, ending Donald Trump's era.
The UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Nils Melzer, warned of a precedent "denying investigative journalists the protection of the freedom of the press and paving the way for their prosecution on charges of espionage". Monday's verdict is dangerous. It is only a question of whether Assange is fit enough to endure the prison conditions in the USA, said Melzer according to a statement.

Our team of veterinarians are highly trained, skilled, and experienced surgeons. Each comes to this profession with a deep sense of compassion for all animals.
The members of our staff at both of our Asheville locations understand that the decision to allow your beloved companion to undergo surgery is never an easy one. This is why we strive to ensure your pet's procedure is as comfortable and stress free as possible.
We believe it is in the best interest of our clients' pets for us to offer as wide an array of surgical services from our facility as possible. It is important for you and your pet to receive care in a friendly and welcoming facility from people you both have come to know in order to reduce stress and promote healing.
Anesthesia and cardiovascular monitoring are important, integral aspects of every surgery. For this reason, Asheville Veterinary Associates provides the best and most advanced anesthetic administration and cardiovascular monitoring equipment and protocols available.
If your pet requires anesthesia, he or she is admitted to the hospital and a complete physical examination is performed by one of our doctors. If blood tests have not recently been performed on your pet, pre-anesthetic blood testing is strongly recommended. These tests are chosen based upon risk factors for your pet and the information is used to identify any pre-existing conditions that may complicate the use of anesthesia.
Anesthesia is individualized for each pet based upon a number of factors including the type of procedure, pre-existing conditions, blood test values, age, breed and prior anesthetic experience. We limit the amount of anesthesia (without sacrificing pain control) by employing pre-medications, local anesthetics and by using continuous rate infusions of pain medications. Your pet's anesthesia time is also reduced by having a highly trained and organized surgery team, utilizing the most up-to-date instruments that shorten surgery procedure time. By using these techniques, we can cut your pet's anesthesia and surgery time by up to 50 percent.
During anesthesia and surgery, your pet is constantly monitored by a trained veterinary technician using our advanced monitoring system. This system helps us continuously monitor your pet's arterial oxygen level, blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and core body temperature. Additionally, all pets undergoing surgery receive IV fluids in order to maintain blood pressure, hydration and as a route for immediate administration of emergency medications if ever needed. With our experienced surgeons, technicians and our advanced technology, we try to provide the safest surgery protocol that is possible.
We use both pre-operative and post-operative injectable pain medications, nerve blocks and post-operative oral medications.

Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences
A History of Anatomy Theaters in Sixteenth-Century Padua
Cynthia Klestinec
The history of anatomy includes not only professors and the support of their institutions but also medical students. Because medical students were quick to assess a teacher's pedagogy, their complaints tell us a great deal about the transition from Galenic to Aristotelian projects of anatomy. When Fabricius of Aquapendente instituted a new style of anatomical inquiry, one based on Aristotle and the search for universal principles, students repeatedly complained that his demonstrations did not provide technical education in structural anatomy (as demonstrations employing a hands-on, Galenic pedagogy did). Within the new anatomy theater (the second of its kind in Padua), however, students were persuaded to accept Fabricius's demonstrations. Fabricius's philosophical orientation combined with the formal atmosphere and aesthetic features of the new theater to create anatomy demonstrations that relied on orations and music for their structure (rather than on the progressive stages of human dissection). A place that emphasized a discourse of anatomy as the study of the "secrets of nature," the new theater so effectively publicized a new style of anatomy that a larger, more diverse group of spectators attended subsequent demonstrations and participated in the celebration of leading academic figures as well as the institution of the university.

The Holiday office coordinators are the friendliest people on the planet. The personal touch….that is what makes dealing with Holiday by phone so easy. There was strong leadership on our trip. I found the staff especially attentive to my food allergy problem (i.e. celiac disease) and that level of attention put me at ease. The hike to the petroglyphs up Jones Hole Creek (my second time) was very rewarding. The Lodore trip is a tale of two rivers: the damned, controlled Green River, and the undammed wild Yampa River. Having done the Yampa previously, I enjoyed the contrast of the Green merging into the Yampa. I also learned that doing the same river twice (i.e. the Yampa) is not the same experience twice: the river is never the same. The staff is just tireless and puts effort into maximizing the group's experience. Unplugged in the canyons of Utah on swift-river in an ever changing landscape: paradise!


A Christmas tree of a very different kind will be helping children in need this festive season.
The humble bike makes a huge difference to children worldwide. While in New Zealand it is the ultimate gift to be found under the Christmas tree, in parts of the developing world it is so much more, for instance transforming an arduous walk along dangerous roads into a manageable cycle to the classroom.
"Leading to improved grades, better learning capacity and higher attendance, bicycles are key to ensuring children have access to education," says ChildFund New Zealand.
The charity is planning on celebrating the difference bikes can make in the lives of children with the ultimate Christmas upcycle – building a seven-metre-tall Tree of Bikes on Auckland's Queens Wharf. The tree, to be built with the generous support of Beca and Enterprize Steel, will feature Aucklanders' donated bikes and will light up the wharf throughout December.
When the tree is disassembled, any working bikes will be re-gifted to Auckland community groups. New Zealanders can also give back by purchasing a bike for communities in need through ChildFund's Gifts that Grow catalogue.

Book Review: Building Happiness
Building Happiness: Architecure to Make You Smile is much more skeptical of architecture's ability to make us happy than last year's widely-read book on the same subject, Alain de Botton's The Architecture of Happiness.
That's because while de Botton waxes poetic, the contributors to Building Happiness look to the empirical record—which, apparently, just doesn't show a strong link between architectural aesthetics and happiness. It's a difficult pill to swallow. As Jeremy Till, dean of architecture at the University of Westminster, says, "The association of beauty with happiness is one of those platitudes that have been passed unthinkingly from one architectural generation to another," and it's easy to see why. The idea that we can shape our psyches by shaping our buildings seems both comforting and intuitive.
But Building Happiness's authors are also less willing to generalize from their own intuition than de Botton (who tends to use the word "we" when he really means "I"). "I do not think that the happiness garnered from buildings can be accurately reproduced from person to person," Will Alsop says. The same is true of landscapes, as Martha Schwartz can attest: "It is clearly impossible for any single entity, even one as large as a landscape, to definitively produce generalised happiness," she says.
(An important aside is that even if architectural beauty were a factor in people's happiness, it might not be what architects think of as beauty. One study found architects and laymen to have completely different opinions of buildings' aesthetic value—a discrepancy that grew larger with the number of years the architects had been in the field.)
The contributors to Building Happiness do agree, however, that there is one aspect of architecture that plays an important role in happiness: its spatial organization of our lives. As social creatures, we thrive when our buildings give us opportunities to interact with each other; but if that interaction is imposed, we withdraw into ourselves, throw up barriers, and feel stressed. "An absolutely key variable for psychological well being is control," David Halpern, an author and government adviser, says. He cites one study which found that students assigned dorm rooms on a long hallway (where a trip to the bathroom or exit meant they couldn't avoid encountering any of their 50 hall-mates) became more withdrawn than their fellow students assigned to suites (who could opt into social interaction by spending time in the lounge, or not).
A curious dissonance permeates Building Happiness. Interspersed with the articles that cast doubt on the beauty-happiness link are contributors' descriptions of buildings that make them particularly happy. Why? Because they're beautiful, naturally. Here's designer Paul Smith describing his pick, a house by Luis Barragán: "On entering the house, happiness, life and optimism filled the air. The pink interior with the sunlight streaming in, being bounced off a perfectly placed gold leaf square painting on a landing, onto the hall table." The Burrell Museum makes the journalist Kirsty Wark happy because it is "modest and elegant" with its facades of red sandstone; and the author and editor Hugh Pearman picks a power station, saying, "I chose it because it is simply the most wonderful kinetic object in the landscape."
Is this a contradiction? Not necessarily. One illuminating comment from Halpern resolves the apparent disconnect: "The evidence seems to be that we rapidly adapt to most aspects of our physical environment," he says. "What seems beautiful and attractive to a visitor rapidly fades into the background for the long-term resident." (That's why, even though people feel sure they would be happier in California's sunny climate, Californians aren't actually any happier on average than the rest of us.)
And in fact, almost without exception, the authors' personal reactions play out that principle. All the "happy places" chosen for their physical beauty are places the authors visit infrequently. Their other choices are regularly-used places of home and work, beloved for their functional brilliance—like the architect Richard Rogers' office building, with its overlapping spaces ("this allows exciting things to happen," he says); or artistic director David Lan's offices built above a theater, so that workers can wander out onto the balcony and enjoy the sound of laughter from the auditorium below. "If that isn't happiness in the built environment," Lan asks, "what is?"

The U.S. Federal Reserve announced another rate hike a few days ago, which helped edge up the dollar to a new high for the year.
The greenback has "a little room to run," Kathy Jones, a New York-based chief fixed-income strategist at Charles Schwab, said in a Bloomberg interview. "We have seen softer numbers out of Europe and firmer numbers out of the U.S." The U.S. Federal Reserve is unwinding its extraordinary monetary intervention after a decade of near-zero interest rates. The Fed has announced quarter-point interest rate hikes twice and is planning on at least two additional increases this year.
Meanwhile, the European Central Bank is heading in the other direction in an effort to keep sovereign bond yields from spiraling out of control, particularly after the recent political turmoil in Italy unnerved bond markets on the continent. The ECB said it would keep interest rates low through at least next summer.
The diverging policy paths for the two central banks points to a further strengthening of the dollar relative to the euro. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index jumped to 1,187 in early trading on Friday, the highest level since July 2017. The greenback has strengthened about 6 percent in the past two months.
"(ECB President Mario) Draghi came out a little bit more dovish than people thought he was going to be. And that really caused the euro to take a dip and the (U.S.) dollar to go up, which is putting downward pressure on prices," Phil Flynn, analyst at Price Futures Group in Chicago, told Reuters.
There are plenty of factors influencing oil prices right now, and the OPEC+ decision expected in a few days will be the single most important driver in the near-term. But the U.S. dollar is one important variable influencing oil prices. A stronger dollar helps push down prices because it makes oil, which is priced in dollars, much more expensive in much of the world.
Moreover, emerging markets now account for a majority of oil demand, and nearly all of the growth in oil demand. More specifically, additional consumption over the next few decades is expected to overwhelmingly come from China and India. In 2018, the two countries have accounted for nearly 70 percent of oil demand growth.
As a result, actions from the Fed reverberate through the oil markets. Higher oil prices act as a drag on demand, but a stronger greenback magnifies the expense in local currency.
Some governments are desperate to shield their economies from higher prices. As Reuters notes, the price of a liter of diesel in India is up 27 percent from a year ago, which, while costly, is actually subdued given the 70 percent increase in Brent prices over that time period. The Indian government is stepping in to blunt the impact of higher fuel prices, at great expense to public coffers.
The IEA said last week that oil demand is set to grow by 1.4 million barrels per day (mb/d) in each of 2018 and 2019, although that forecast was vulnerable to several potential pitfalls. "Of course, there are downside risks: these include the possibility of higher prices, a weakening of economic confidence, trade protectionism and a potential further strengthening of the US dollar," the IEA wrote.
We have already seen some flashpoints flare up this year as a result of both higher fuel prices and currency problems, and while there are always multiple causes to such events, the strength of the U.S. dollar cannot be discounted. In Argentina, the peso lost nearly a quarter of its value relative to the dollar, forcing the government to seek a financial rescue from the IMF. In Brazil, crippling protests over high fuel prices paralyzed the country – prices were particularly painful for the truckers staging the strikes because Brazil's currency lost nearly 15 percent of its value relative to the dollar, exacerbating the rise in oil prices.
This currency turmoil threatens oil demand growth. "These depreciations forced some countries to increase interest rates to defend their currency, which could weigh on growth in due course," the IEA concluded.

Mitt Romney Wants to Buy the New York Yankees
Attention all fans of the New York Yankees:
Unhappy with the job that Hal and Hank Steinbrenner have done as the majority owners of the New York Yankees? Have no fear for…. Mitt Romney is here?
Mitt Romney, former Presidential candidate, attempted to purchase a stake in the Miami Marlins earlier this offseason before the deal ultimately fell through but that is not keeping the man who lost to eventual President Obama from trying again to get into MLB ownership. Romney wants to own a share in the New York Yankees and he is willing to pay a pretty penny for it too. If the reported deal goes through Romney will pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $25-$30 million per percentage point and is said to be interested in up to two percentage points of ownership in the club.
Romney, a lifelong Boston Red Sox fan, wants to purchase a share in the New York Yankees? Hmm, I don't quite know what to make of that.

This Has Truly Become a Young Man's Sports Again
When I look around the free agent market every single season and offseason I think to myself more and more than Major League Baseball is once again becoming a young man's sport again. What do I mean? I can remember growing up a Yankees fan in the mid-2000's where New York always had that one or two veteran players on the roster in the twilight of their career's that filled important roles for the club. Then I watched as the Core Four aged and the Yankees were considered the old men of baseball. Now I watch the second youth movement in the Bronx during my lifetime and I see the invigoration of youth and it makes me notice the youth movement not only inside Yankee Stadium but around baseball as well… which is not a good thing for certain veterans who still find themselves looking for work despite the fact that spring training games have already begun.
The list of 30-year olds or older still on the free agent market is staggering when you think about it. Names like Pedro Alvarez, Joe Blanton, Billy Butler, Marlon Byrd, Chris Capuano, Coco Crisp, Doug Fister, Jeff Francouer, Sam Fuld, Ryan Howard, Edwin Jackson, Tim Lincecum, Kelly Johnson, Justin Morneau, Jonathan Papelbon, Jake Peavy, AJ Pierzynski and CJ Wilson to name a few still appear on the free agency market while many players have simply walked off into the sunset and retired. Now when I look at this list I don't see many that will turn a non-contender into an immediate World Series contender but there are still some very helpful free agents out there on the market that can be had for simply money.
Blanton, for example, sported a 2.48 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with 80 strikeouts in 80 innings for the Los Angeles Dodgers last year leaving me to wonder how with 30 teams vying for bullpen supremacy how the 36-year old is still looking for work.
At one point in the not-so-distant past you were just in your prime when you hit 30-years old but now in a league where the NL MVP Kris Bryant is just 24-years old and Mike Trout just won his second AL MVP Award at age 25 you just may be considered "old" at 30.
Ladies and gentleman this is truly becoming a young man's sport again and you can tell it by looking at the MLB Trade Rumors free agent tracker. There is still good players out there on the market to be had but they aren't signed because of their age. None of the aforementioned players would command huge salaries with maybe the exception being Papelbon so it almost has to be the age factor. When you also look at the number of veterans who simply took minor league deals with invitations to spring training the trend just gets scarier and scarier for veteran players. Will it change? Or will it simply get worse before it gets better? Stay tuned.

Bold Prediction: Luis Severino Makes Yankees Rotation in 2017
I know I say this every single season but just so you know this season will be no different. I love spring training and the whole atmosphere around Major League Baseball during this time. Every team is in first place, every team has a new and exciting direction they are going in and the sky is the limit for every player and team going forward. With that theme in mind I want to make a bit of a bold prediction regarding the New York Yankees and their starting rotation, specifically the fact that the aforementioned starting rotation for the Bronx Bombers will have Luis Severino pitching in it when the team breaks spring training camp this season.
Severino survived in the minor leagues with a reasonably straight fastball and even flourished with it in a small sample size in 2015 but the young right-hander's 2016 season left much to be desired. New York sent Severino down to the minor leagues to work on his secondary pitches at one point last season before bringing him back as a bullpen arm during the latter parts of the season where he took off and regained confidence on the mound. Severino has been working on his changeup specifically this offseason and will look to showcase that work not only this spring but in the Yankees rotation this coming season, and I believe that he will.
I especially believe this will be the case after watching him pitch, albeit in an exhibition game, on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Severino's fastball and slider were on point, his fastball hit 98 MPH at one point in the game which is insane for February baseball, but it was his changeup that kept Toronto hitters at bay in two scoreless innings. Severino's changeup was clocked at 88 MPH which is a huge dip in velocity and a huge spike in deceptiveness if he can throw it right, and he did on Sunday.
Let's be real, the competition for the Yankees 4th and 5th rotation spots are wide open at this point with no one really slotted into those positions at this time. Severino, or anyone else really, could essentially win those spots with a strong spring. What Severino has over some of the Luis Cessa's and Bryan Mitchell's of the world is velocity and a confidence that borderlines on almost cockiness. In a league where you can be your own worst enemy that may be more important than any stat or telling sign can tell you. That confidence, that blazing fastball and that mastered third pitch will be the reason Severino is throwing every five days in the Yankees starting rotation come Opening Day 2017. Bet.

So it Seems We Had a Scheduled Weekend Off
So it seems like we took the weekend off. I needed the weekend off and I took it but now I'm back and ready to continue to pump out the content. I think maybe taking the weekend, or maybe a day as I haven't really decided, off is going to be good for me as my life continues to get busy and continues to even become overwhelming at times. That's not me complaining though, I'm truly blessed and I have the best that life can offer in my world right now and right now as I sit here today speaking to you I wouldn't change it for the world.
I have distractions but I have the very best distractions. I have obligations but I have the most awesome little obligations in the world. I've all but given up even taking the time to eat my lunch while I'm at work but I keep my hands full and my mind occupied during that time so it's all good because my days have become my favorite thing. I don't want to sleep at night because I don't want to miss a thing. It's hard for me to put into words how I feel right now, and that's rare for me and it goes to show you just how awesome it can be.
Remove negativity from your life at all costs and water the grass where you want it to be green, not where everyone says it should be green, and you too can find true happiness. Stay well everyone and good morning. The world is yours if you take it.

Now batting for the New York Yankees, the shortstop, #81, Gleyber Torres…
Credit: Icon Sportswire via Getty Images
With Didi Gregorius headed to participate in the WBC Classic and share shortstop with his buddy, Andrelton Simmons of the Los Angeles Angels on Team Netherlands, Gleyber Torres should have a firm grasp on shortstop for the next couple of weeks while Didi is away. Granted, Torres is not major-league ready but these short previews feature very exciting coming attractions.
Torres is easily becoming a fan favorite despite never having played a major league game at Yankee Stadium. While the speculation is that Torres will need to move to second base when he is ready for the Show, listening to his comments during interviews show how much he respects the shortstop position and those who preceded him (most notably Derek Jeter). If Didi continues his upward climb to elite status, it will be hard to move Didi off short or ship him elsewhere to make room. Those are problems for another day, but for now, we'll be able to enjoy Torres at short.
I am sure that we'll also see former top prospect Jorge Mateo at short too, but he's not the one generating excitement. Pete Kozma and Tyler Wade, the defensive whiz, should also see some time there. Nevertheless, the man of the hour is clearly Gleyber Torres.
I dislike reading the posts that say its a given the Yankees will sign Bryce Harper and Manny Machado in a couple of years when they hit free agency. Neither is a sure thing, and Cable TV contracts have leveled the playing field, not to mention the limitations caused by the salary cap and luxury tax thresholds. If we eventually get one or both of the superstars, great, but it's not something that we can count on. There will be players brought in via trades that we're not even thinking about right now. I'll worry about the 2019 Yankees in 2019 (or maybe off-season 2018). Right now, I am having fun watching the future of the Yankees as the team embarks on the 2017 season. Granted, the moves and performances today will help define what tomorrow will bring, but at this moment in time, it's fun watching the Baby Bombers perform in their infancy.
I always thought it was cool that Derek Jeter was a Yankees fan as a kid. When the Yankees drafted pitcher James Kaprielian and outfielder Blake Rutherford, both Californians, I didn't realize that both had been Yankees fans growing up. I remember when Rutherford was picked by the Yankees last year out of high school. My first question, not really knowing much about Rutherford, was about his sign-ability. I remember being disappointed a few years ago when the Yankees drafted pitcher Gerrit Cole and then were unable to sign him. There's always a fear that will happen again. What I didn' t know was how much Rutherford loved the Yankees. I am not sure if he would have gone to college had he been drafted by another team, but we'll never know. He signed and is now one of the organization's top prospects. If/when he makes it to the Bronx, I am sure his little league pics showing a small boy wearing Yankees hat and jersey will be on display in the New York papers.
It would be even better if Kaprielian and Rutherford win world championships (plural, please) for their lifelong favorite team.
After four spring games, the Yankees are 3-1. I know, spring records mean absolutely nothing. Still, it's exciting that the starters have performed well so far, and the Yankees could have easily been undefeated at this point. It's even better that none of the starters have included rotation mainstays Masahiro Tanaka, Michael Pineda, and CC Sabathia. The intensity of games will start to pick up in a few weeks, and we'll see longer starts by the regulars. Even though the February (and March) wins mean nada, winning is fun any way you slice it. So far, it's been an exciting start for training camp. We'll lose a few players like Didi, Tyler Clippard and Dellin Betances to the WBC, but camp moves on. Go players with numbers > 70!

Severing the memory of last year's starts...
It's a new season. The failure of Luis Severino's change-up has been cited as a key reason for last year's dismal starting performance. Sevy had bulked up during the off-season, and the end result was throwing his pitches harder, including the change-up. Post-game comments by Gary Sanchez yesterday cited the importance of keeping the change-up low. With work this off-season to restore his previous touch with the pitch, the belief is that he'll return to being the effective three-pitch starter that he had been in late 2015. An effective change-up, to go with his slider and fastball, should hopefully put Severino in the driver's seat for the #4 slot in the starting rotation.
Here's hoping that his off-season work with Pedro Martinez erases all memories of last season's 0-8 mark as a starter. I would love nothing more than Severino to show he can be a key cog in the rotation. Facing the great pitching staffs in Toronto and Boston, the Yankees will need five guys who can keep the team in games before the hand-off to the bullpen. Another "O-fer" performance by any starting pitcher would be deadly to the team's chances for success.
After facing the Blue Jays yesterday, the Toronto hitters will get another look at Severino on Friday in Dunedin, FL. It will be interesting to see if he can be as effective the second time around and prove that he is on the right path for sustained success in the new year.
I've participated in a few Fantasy Baseball drafts and so far, it seems that catcher Gary Sanchez is often taken as the first catcher (ahead of Buster Posey of the San Francisco Giants). He is generally the first Yankee to come off the board even though Aroldis Chapman and Masahiro Tanaka tend to be higher on most Top 100 lists. Sanchez is clearly getting the love right now from baseball fans everywhere.
When I turned on Sports Radio this morning, I was flooded with references to the famed Pine Tar Incident in July 1983 involving George Brett, Billy Martin and a questionable bat thanks to the faux pas that occurred last night at The Oscars when it was incorrectly announced that La La Land had won Best Picture. The image of George Brett, who had just hit a go-ahead two run home run, running and screaming after being called out following an appeal by Yankees manager Billy Martin raced across my mind.
Moonlight was subsequently named winner of Best Picture after La La Land acceptance speeches had already begun. But if the Pine Tar Incident was the true analogy for what happened at The Oscars, then La La Land will still win Best Picture in a few days when they replay the competition considering that the Kansas City Royals ultimately won the Pine Tar Game when it was replayed from the point Brett had hit the home run. Neither team scored again so the Royals' 5-4 lead held up for the win. Regardless, congratulations to Moonlight for its victory. That's a decision that will stand the test of time (unlike the Pine Tar Incident).
Yesterday was a sad day in Yankees history. The legendary Babe Ruth was released by the Yankees on February 26, 1935 so that he could sign with the National League's Boston Braves. It's sad that Babe Ruth never realized his dream of managing. It was that dream that led to the friction with the Yankees at the end of his Yankees career as he openly wanted manager Joe McCarthy's job.

This Day in New York Yankees History 2/27: Pinstripes are Born, Almost Literally
On this day in 1985 Toby Harrah is traded by the Yankees to the Texas Rangers for outfielder Billy Sample and a player to be named later. The 36 year old veteran infielder was originally a member of the Texas Rangers and will become the club's manager for one year in 1992.
Also on this day in 1912 the Yankees announced that they would begin wearing pinstripes on their uniform, something they obviously still do today. The Yankees wouldn't actually start physically wearing them until April 22, 1915 but either way it became a reality.

Too much talent in the farm system?...
Credit: J Conrad Williams, Jr, Newsday
Two games into the Spring schedule and it is clear that Gleyber Torres is the most exciting player on the field. He is providing a glimpse into the future before he packs his bags and heads to Trenton, New Jersey and AA ball.
Saturday's game featured a 2-for-2 day by Torres, with two doubles. He also scored from second base on a wild pitch with heads-up base-running.
One day, the Yankees will have to make a decision regarding their infield. It's probably still a couple of years away, but the day will come when Starlin Castro, most likely, is the one moved (either to third base or another team) to make way for Torres at second base. Torres is just trying to make it happen sooner rather than later.
I've been a Yankees fan for a long time but this is the first time I can recall that a spot on the 40-man roster carries such a premium. Packaging multiple prospects to send to the Chicago White Sox for, say, pitcher Jose Quintana, would arguably relieve some of the pressure.
The Yankees had to make hard decisions in the off-season when they cut loose both Jacob Lindgren and Nathan Eovaldi. Granted, both players are recovering from Tommy John surgery, but the Yankees had no room to protect either on their 40-man roster. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Braves, with arguably the best farm system in baseball, quickly signed the lefty Lindgren who was thought to be on the fast track to the major leagues when he was drafted by the Yankees a few years ago. The Yankees had some discussions with Eovaldi after they cut him loose but it is not known how serious they were. Eovaldi opted to sign with the Tampa Bay Rays, and was placed on their 40-man roster. The Rays currently have one of the lower ranked farm systems so it was probably an easy decision for them to devote a 40-man spot to a guy that will not return to the field until 2018 at the earliest.
The Braves are another story. They have a plethora of top talent, yet were still able to make room for Lindgren, who, like Eovaldi, is at least a year away from playing again.
If Jon Niese makes the Yankees opening day roster, they'll have to make a move with the 40-man roster. The obvious DFA candidate is LHP Joe Mantiply, but there's still time for any roster decisions have to be made.
Having the best or second-base farm system in baseball is great, but the truth is that not all the prospects will succeed. The Yankees need to roll the dice and make some trades to upgrade the weaker areas of the team. It may not be this spring but either at the trade deadline or next off-season, it will be time for the Yankees to upgrade the roster to compete with the top teams in the American League. The key is obviously the continued development of Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, Aaron Judge at the major league level but it will soon be time to supplement those great present and future Yankees stars with commensurate talent.
Making trades will free up room on the 40-man roster for other young talent in the system moving up through the ranks when it is their time for protection. The Yankees' huge haul from the international free agent market in 2014 will start to progress into the upper levels of the farm system within the next few years. The pig in the pytheon is coming. Shortstop Wilkerman Garcia is leading the way for the 2014 signees. Since he signed before he was 18, he won't have to be added to the 40-man until after five minor league seasons. But for players signing their first professional contract at age 19 or greater, they'll have to be protected after four minor league seasons. If not protected, the players are eligible for the Rule 5 Draft held each December.
The Yankees lost a few players in the Rule 5 Draft this past December. Odds are most of the players picked will be offered back to the Yankees, but it's also possible that one or two of the players are gone forever. The San Diego Padres, for example, could decide to carry three catchers this year, allowing catcher Luis Torrens to remain on the big league roster.
With such great talent in the organization right now, the 40-man roster and the Rule 5 Draft will be an incredible challenge every year. I guess it's possible to have too much of a good thing.
So, go ahead and make the trade for Jose Quintana.
I know, that was a long route to get to the request for Quintana, and there's obviously so much more that goes into those type of decisions. But I really do not want to see Chad Green as the team's #5 starter. So, pardon me…

This Day in New York Yankees History 2/26: Yankees Release Babe Ruth
On this day in 1935 the Yankees granted Babe Ruth his unconditional release from the club to pursue a contract with another club. The aging superstar would go to play for the Braves after the 39 year old hit 659 home runs and batted .349 in his 15 seasons in New York.

Paying it forward...
Matt Holliday has yet to play a regular season game as a member of baseball's most storied franchise but he's already making an impact.
When Aaron Judge hit the monster smash off the scorecard with his fifth inning home run yesterday in the spring training opener, you know that he's already had talks with Holliday and watched what it is like to be a professional major league hitter. Judge's history of failing and then succeeding at each level is well known, but still, it is going to take the veteran influences of guys like Holliday, Brett Gardner, Chase Headley, and CC Sabathia to set the right examples for life in the Bronx.
When Holliday came up, he was able to observe All-Stars such as Todd Helton and Larry Walker. He has noted the influence of other Colorado Rockies during his first year, like Mark Sweeney and Todd Greene, as showing him life on and off the field. Holliday also had his older brother Josh, who is currently the head coach at Oklahoma State.
The power of the Mentor in major league baseball is huge. Managers and coaches can only say so much. Sometimes it takes peers to truly get inside your head and help you become the best you can be.
At 37, Matt's days in the outfield are most likely over. He'll probably still see a start or two and may even be forced into longer-term coverage due to unforeseen injuries, but his future with the Yankees resides primarily at DH. Yet, it isn't Matt's bat that excites me about his addition to the team. He is the consummate professional and a team guy. His presence will be huge for the younger players. Judge stands to benefit the most as the right field job is his to lose, but Clint Frazier and Gleyber Torres are surely watching and learning. If Greg Bird learns a thing or two from Holliday or the other veterans, it only helps the team in the long run.
Todd Helton was a great first baseman for the Colorado Rockies and memories of his playing days are still revered by its fans. He has been retired from the game for four years after a 17-year playing career in the Mile High City. But here is the influence of Helton, through Holliday, impacting the 2017 New York Yankees.
This is a great cycle to watch.
Bryan Mitchell got the start in Spring's first game, a 9-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, and he picked up where he left off last spring prior to his injury. He pitched two innings of non-hit ball, as did Luis Cessa. I was glad to see Mitchell have success and hopefully this year can be the year we were expecting last season until he injured his foot. Jordan Montgomery pitched two innings and gave up two runs in the 7th, but I am sure that Daniel Burch will be quick to point out that they were unearned runs.
When Clint Frazier hit the triple in the bottom of the 8th, scoring two runs, I couldn't help but think how great he would look in the Bronx and how great Jacoby Ellsbury would look elsewhere. Alas, it is not time, but one day it will be.
In the grand scheme of things, yesterday's game meant nothing for the Opening Day roster. But it's a start.
Great to see Yankee baseball. Life is good.

This Day In New York Yankees History 2/25: Scooter Gets the Call from the Hall
On this day in 1994 the Veterans Committee elected Phil Rizzuto to the Hall of Fame along with Leo Durocher. The former infielder and then current television broadcaster, which caused much debate given his borderline stats, because important to his supporters when Pee Wee Reese, a similar player, was inducted in 1984 as a Brooklyn Dodger.

Matt Holliday: The Leader
I know it is probably the most cliché thing you can say about a veteran player that was signed by a team either in transition or towards the end of a rebuild but this is truly what is going on in the Bronx right now with their newly acquired designated hitter Matt Holliday. Holliday was signed to mash from the right side of the plate as a designated hitter, to add some insurance and depth at both the first base and outfield positions and to give the Yankees another big presence in the middle of the order but it seems like he may have been signed for another reason as well. Holliday may have been signed as a mentor for the young Yankees and may have also been signed to be a leader for the team. If he wasn't signed with that purpose in mind he has taken it upon himself anyway to take the job with open arms, you know like a true Yankee would.
Holliday is specifically working with one of the Yankees top prospects Aaron Judge and he has a lot to potentially bring to the right fielder. About 11 years ago Holliday added a leg kick to his swing that would forever change his career as he immediately became one of the most potent hitters in baseball. From 2006-2012 after adding his leg kick Holliday averaged a .316/.393/.544 triple slash with 28 home runs, 104 RBI and 102 runs scored average per season. Holliday also made six All-Star teams during that seven-year span and will look to do the same for Judge and his career after an abysmal start to his MLB career in 2016.
Holliday has been surrounded by leaders and coaches his entire life so it makes sense that he is now in the position to pass along that knowledge. Holliday's father, Tom, was the assistant baseball coach at Oklahoma State and Holliday spent time with players like Todd Helton and Albert Pujols as a younger player in his career. Now Holliday looks to be to Judge what Pujols, Helton and his father were to him because Holliday is a leader and is already showing that in his short time with the Yankees.
Judge was seen taking batting practice at George M. Steinbrenner field this week when Holliday walked up to Judge and said something to him. The very next pitch Judge belted over the fence for a home run, which is obviously very encouraging. If Holliday can work with the Yankees presumed everyday right fielder and get that kind of immediate success we could be in for a great season in 2017.

Former Yankees Update: Joba Chamberlain
The New York Yankees have an uncanny way of taking care of members of their family, whether it be past or present, so we here at The Greedy Pinstripes like to do the same whenever we can. This afternoon is one of those instances as we look at and check in with a former member of the Yankees bullpen and an arm that I personally advocated for the Yankees to sign this offseason on a minor league deal. His name is Joba Chamberlain, maybe you've heard of him?
The man simply known as "Joba" was drafted by the New York Yankees and sent on a hot shot courier almost straight to the Major Leagues. Joba and his slider took the league by storm and the only thing that could stop him was a swarm of Cleveland-based midges and a Tommy John surgery that replaced his ulnar collateral ligament. Ever since his UCL replacement surgery Joba has simply not been the same pitcher that lit up American League batters for the Yankees and most recently the right-hander, still somehow just 31-years old, signed a deal to pitch for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2017.
Joba signed a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training this season and this week he threw his first live batting practice of the spring. Joba could be an asset to a team that is in the midst of a rebuild like the Milwaukee Brewers are, especially considering his 385 regular season games of experience as well as his 21 postseason appearances he has under his belt, and manager Craig Counsell seems intrigued by having Joba on his roster on Opening Day. This all sounds good on paper but Joba has to put in the work though and thus far, and yes it is extremely early, he has.
Joba knows he has to put in the work but all signs point to him having fun in Brewers camp as well and that may be the most important thing of all. You have to be comfortable where you are in order to do well and you have to have fun as well or what's really the point? So far so good for Joba, here's to hoping he continues the good work in Brewers camp this spring.

Let's Have a Little Fun with Intentional Walks Gone Wrong
Rest in Peace to the intentional walk and everyone here at The Greedy Pinstripes sends our condolences to anyone affected by its loss. Commissioner of Major League Baseball, alongside the Major League Baseball Players Association, announced this week that the intentional walk as we know it is no longer a thing in Major League Baseball. Instead of the mostly boring four soft tosses well out of the zone before the batter subsequently takes his base opposing managers and players will now simply just wiggle four fingers to signify they want to intentionally walk a player. This must kill the purist fans of the game but for me personally I'm not too up in arms about it. Sure we may miss a blunder here or there, and we will cover just a couple of those blunders here in a moment, but overall it speeds up the game a tad and it does so without changing the face of the game that I love and adore. So without further ado let's check out and remember a couple of those intentional walk blunders and bloopers that the purist of the fans want to hold deep in their memory. Enjoy.
Just last season we watched as Gary Sanchez took an intended intentional walk pitch and lofted it into the Yankee Stadium outfield for a sacrifice fly. Sanchez didn't miss the home run by much and this may go down as my favorite intentional walk blunder if it weren't for Barry Bonds….
Barry Lamar Bonds was one of the most feared hitters in all of Major League Baseball during his prime and this was never more evident than the time Bonds came up to the plate in 1998 with the bases loaded only to draw four straight balls outside for an intentional walk. The Arizona Diamondbacks intentionally and willingly gave the San Francisco Giants a free run by walking Bonds rather than pitch to him with the bases loaded and potentially give up four runs. That's respect right there.
Remember way back when Vladimir Guerrero was still wearing a Montreal Expos uniform? Yes kids, the Montreal Expos really were a thing back in my day and yes kids, I realize I am getting old. Anyway, I digress. One time back in 2001 Guerrero actually hit a home run off an intentional walk pitch that will forever go down in the history of intentional walks as one of the absolute best moments in baseball.
The final intentional walk blunder we will cover this afternoon is infamous for all the wrong reasons. John Olerud was at the plate back in 1996 when an intentional walk pitch went awry, kind of. The intentional walk was faked and Olerud was left with the bat on his shoulder when strike three went right down the middle of the plate. Talk about insult to injury.
I know I probably missed a few, and admittedly I tried to keep them all current and during my lifetime and during my fandom years, so if you have a few please feel free to leave them below in the comments section or by giving us a follow on Twitter @GreedyStripes. Thanks!

And the Injury Bug Has Hit Yankees Camp…
It's never too early for the injury bug to hit a team and unfortunately for the New York Yankees that bug has hit the club even before their first spring training game in 2017. According to Bryan Hoch of Yankees.com the Yankees will be without both Ronald Herrera and James Reeves for a few weeks after sustaining injuries during spring workouts.
Herrera, who was traded to the Yankees from the San Diego Padres in the deal for Jose Pirela a couple years back, will miss at least two weeks with shoulder inflammation while James Reeves, an underrated left-handed reliever that could have snuck onto the Yankees Opening Day roster with a strong spring, will miss at least 3-4 weeks with a left elbow sprain. Bummer.
Herrera is just 21-years old and is coming off a 2016 campaign that saw the right-hander put up a 10-7 record with a 3.75 ERA in 132.0 innings in Double-A with the Trenton Thunder. Herrera struck out 123 batters in those 132 innings but he also continued to show he was vulnerable to giving up hits which was evident by his nearly hit per inning ratio last season. Again though, he's 21. He has plenty of time to put it all together and improve. That's what the minor leagues are for.
Meanwhile Reeves was a 10th round draft pick in the 2015 MLB First Year Players Draft for the Yankees and is coming off a season with the High-A Tampa Yankees where he put up a 5-1 record with a 2.27 ERA mostly out of the bullpen. I say mostly because Reeves did start 12 of his 25 games that he appeared in last season but it still viewed as more of a reliever than a starting pitching prospect at this point in his career.
Get well soon boys and get back to the grind. We're always rooting for you.

Another failed Romney attempt?...
Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports Network reported yesterday that Mitt Romney and his son, Tagg, are in talks with the Yankees to buy a small percentage of the team. Based on the franchise's estimated value of $3 billion, a percentage point in the team could be worth $25 to $30 million. The Romneys are said to be interested in one or two percentage points.
The former Massachusetts governor and lifelong Red Sox fan had previously tried to buy the Miami Marlins and had expressed interest in the Los Angeles Dodgers before their sale.
Romney has apparently denied involvement, but Heyman's reporting of the alleged interest leads me to believe there is some life to it.
I am not really interested in an owner, even a minority owner, that is a Red Sock by blood.
Let's say that the Romneys want to buy two percentage points. Assuming each percentage point is valued at $30 million, I have a price for the Mittster. For the bargain price of $149,571,428, he can have his 2%. $30 million x 2 = $60 million + Remainder of Jacoby Ellsbury's Contract with 2021 buyout at $89,571,428. That's the only palatable way that I can see to allow a Red Sock into the ownership group.
With reports that Dellin Betances is already throwing nasty pitches in spring training, I couldn't help but think that he must be visualizing each batter with Randy Levine's face. I am never excited when a player participates in the WBC but at least Betances will be playing for a Yankees coach (Tony Pena) on the Dominican Republic team. On the downside, Team DR will most likely advance very deep into the competition if not winning it all. Hopefully there are no injuries to any of the Yankees participating in this year's WBC competition.
The spring baseball schedule kicks off today with the Philadelphia Phillies visiting Steinbrenner Field. Manager Joe Girardi has said he'll start all of his regulars except for Jacoby Ellsbury, a late arrival to camp following the birth of his second child. Bryan Mitchell will start and will probably throw two innings. Alec Asher will start for the Phillies, with many names in the lineup that I do not recognize outside of Tommy Joseph, Cesar Hernandez and Chris Coghlan. Well, except for Daniel Nava , who is listed in today's Phillies lineup as he attempts to make yet another comeback with a new team.
Even though it's just a meaningless exhibition game with early departures by the regulars, it's great to see the Yankees take the field again.

I'll be the first to admit it. Doctors don't always get it right.
Sometimes we miss the mark on an epic scale.
Case in point: Smoking was once actually endorsed by physicians. Yes, the consummate experts in 'all-things health care' actually were the poster children in ads promoting the cancer-causing addiction.
Doctors ate some major humble pie over that egregious misstep. But clearly not enough.
They continue to disseminate erroneous, dangerous information to you every day.
If you follow my posts, you know by now that whole grains are just well-dressed sugar, which is arguably just as poisonous as cigarettes.
Take the latest comments from Dr. Kim Williams, former president of the American College of Cardiology. While he admits that keto is good for weight loss, he claims that it will seriously damage you in the long term and increase your risk of heart disease.
First, let's clear up a few myths about what keto is and what keto isn't. I am yet to find a criticism of the ketogenic diet that doesn't mischaracterize it.
What is keto? It is a high-fat, medium-protein, low-carb diet that was originally developed to help with epilepsy, but has since proven to have various health and weight loss benefits too. Learn more about the benefits of keto here.
What isn't keto? First, to make things clear, keto is not a no-carb diet. This isn't true at all, it's low-carb. We do need some carbs to function, but rather than getting these things from bread and pasta, they primarily come from vegetables.
Second, keto is not a high-protein diet. It's not. It's a high fat diet. Of course, animal fat is a part of the diet, but if you think people on keto are just eating meat all day, you're wrong.
This is often the case with critics' 'keto food pyramids,' where meat is the number- one food at the broadest base, followed by cheese, eggs and oil, with vegetables at the middle and top. This is completely wrong. Without a doubt, vegetables, should be the bulk of your diet on keto. If anything, given its high protein content, eating too much meat can actually knock you out of ketosis.
There are also plenty of non-meat fat sources that play an important role in the diet, including olives and olive oil, avocados, coconut oil, butter, cheese, and full-fat yogurt.
Now that we've got that out of the way, let's get into the nitty-gritty of why Dr. Williams' argument is downright wrong.
Long live Keto… And you!
Dr. Williams says keto is bad for you in the long term. This claim is based on a 2013 systematic review of 17 studies that found low-carb diets were associated with an increased chance of death and particularly with an increased risks to cardiovascular health.
But there are a few problems right off the bat. First, the study wasn't explicitly about keto. It was about low-carb and sometimes included high-protein diets.
Moreover, 'low-carb' can mean a lot of things. Not eating for a week can mean 'low-carb,' so can just eating meat, and most importantly, not eating vegetables. It doesn't explicitly say anything about high-fat. Fats are the main part of keto, so if you're going to criticize it why not start there?
Minimizing carbs by eating fat and vegetables compared to gorging on protein are two completely different things.
Moreover, people can mischaracterize their food. Given how much meat is breaded and fried, which means a lot of carbs, you'd have thought simply reporting it as 'protein' would be completely misleading.
Including toxic processed carbohydrates means it's much harder to isolate the low-carb element of the study.
The study also said that "low-carbohydrate diets tend to result in reduced intake of fiber and fruits." Not true. At least if you're doing it properly. You can get plenty of fiber from the right vegetables, and there are certain types of fruits you can eat that are packed with vitamins and minerals.
This only thing this study says for certain is that people who follow unhealthy versions of diets die younger. It's like studying vegans who just eat potato chips all day and using that data to prove veganism is unhealthy!
Moreover, there are other studies that show keto can help you live longer and even improve your physical strength and brain power.
And last, Dr. William's isn't exactly the most reputable doctor. He continuously tries to promote the link between consuming cholesterol and heart disease, which was debunked years ago.
Regardless of the dubious claims of this study, I can attest from personal experience that keto has been nothing but beneficial.
As Dr. Williams admits, keto can be good for weight loss. And in my case, I can say that it was the only diet that worked. I'd had weight-loss surgery, but I am certain I would have put all the weight back on and returned to square one if I hadn't then switched to the keto diet.
Before keto, I was lethargic, bloated and in a constant battle with hunger. Keto brought me stable energy, mental clarity and satiation –three things I had never experienced on any other diet.
I take regular blood tests and all of my numbers are within healthy ranges. I am happier, slimmer and healthier than ever. I'm not looking back. I plan to stick with keto for life.


Ummm…maybe because poached eggs are so easy to make the old-fashioned way that the plastic wrap is trying to shame you?
Good batch of links today, there were, like, 5 things I want to try now!
In that post at Delicious Days, there is link to cake baked in eggs, not unlike the brownies.
the pink frosted cookie is a much smaller version of the east coast's black and white cookie. i've looked all over seattle for the black and white cookie i've learned to love and it doesn't exist here. until! yesterday i went to metropolitan market and saw a miniature version of it. but of course, they called it an easter cookie even though there was no sign of it looking easterly. bah.
You can buy two kinds of cling film: the normal thinnish Saran Wrap kind, and thicker, slightly less sticky stuff that restaurant kitchens use. The restaurant kitchen kind won't melt in hot water – maybe that's the kind she used?
watch the video of how he made it (mine wasn't crispy after the first eight minutes so I cooked it longer, checking frequently, until it was crispy). Unusual!
Alexa – I think this was the trouble. I need to get to Costco to buy a roll of the kind they sell.
Barrie – Yup, I don't recall seeing a black and white cookie on this coast.
Syd – Maybe that is what took me to the brownie eggs? I'm not sure, I collect a bunch of stuff and post it a few days later, by which time I've usually completely forgotten where it came from. Which is actually why I started this here weblog.
i poach eggs without cling film. boil water in a pot. crack an egg into a small bowl. when water is boiling pour the egg in slowly.
it's very easy and works everytime for me.
if you go on this site you'll find the book where you can make the brownie in an egg.
looks like the girl's a knitter too. must be kismet.
Nicky is in Germany, I think? We don't have the same plastic wrap that they have over there. Well, it's the same, but it's not the same. I suspect that it's thicker than ours. The Glad website says that their plastic wrap is .5 mm thick.
Could you double-up your cling film? Oh! Could you use a Ziploc bag instead? Like, cut it open so it works more like the film over the bowl? It's definitely thicker than plastic wrap. Maybe I'll try that today.
I concur… you don't need the saran wrap. You can also get neat little egg poacher "stands" at Crate and Barrel – they work well for me.
Another possibility – your water was too hot. Generally, you should be able to bring to JUST before boiling (i.e. a large bubble simmer) and poach. That might be why it melted.
I think you should get colorful orange or aqua or green or yellow pillows for your gray couch. You'd be surprised – whatever colors appeals to you ends up going with your other stuff. My copper throw pillows have ended up going with almost everything!
I purchased the silicon egg poachers and they work great! You just have to make sure you oil them a little bit so the eggs won't stick.

Michael Oliver appointed as referee for Huddersfield-Liverpool game
Michael Oliver has been appointed as referee for Liverpool's first game after the October international break- an away trip to the John Smith's Stadium to take on Huddersfield Town.
The Reds have already played twice under Oliver this season in the league. Both were away fixtures- a 2-0 win at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace in Week 2, and a 2-1 win at Wembley against Tottenham Hotspur in Week 5.
Huddersfield, by comparison, have struggled in recent games under Oliver. He reffed their 0-0 stalemate at home against Cardiff in Week 3, a fixture in which he sent off Jonathan Hogg. In Town's last three games with Oliver in the middle, they've failed to score a single goal.
Will Michael Oliver again end up red carding a Huddersfield player?
