Grammys to allow samples in songwriting categories
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Recording Academy has made a number of changes to its rules, most notably allowing samples to be used on songs nominated in all songwriting categories, including the all-genre song of the year.
Previously, samples — snippets of previously recorded material or songs incorporated into a new work — had been allowed only in the Grammy Awards' best rap song category.
The academy also reorganized the Gospel and contemporary Christian category, formalized the definition for the alternative music field and added a category for best American roots performance. The addition means 83 awards will be given at the 2015 Grammys, and it brings the American roots music field into step with other major categories.
The changes, announced Thursday, were made at the academy's recent spring board of trustees meeting.

The Orioles Bird did not make an appearance as expected during the presidents race for Friday night's kickoff of the annual Battle of the Beltways.
In the fourth inning, the racing presidents mixed things up, running toward the third base side, but the Bird's absence was no help for Teddy. George Washington easily passed a tired Roosevelt before doing jumping jacks at the finish line.
Teddy was quick to make excuses for his poor outing. "Still hurting a bit from last night," he said via Twitter, but #26 promised he'd be ready to go on Saturday. "Rumor has it a certain Bird will be visiting…"

Heads up, space fans! Angry Birds roosting at NASA
(AP)—Angry Birds have a new space coop. At NASA's invitation, the online game birds are roosting at Kennedy Space Center for the next 1½ years in an effort to lure youngsters to the cosmic wonders of math and science.
The huge interactive exhibit opened March 22 and immediately packed in the kids, including this reporter's 7-year-old son who couldn't get enough of the mirrored maze and the design-your-own Angry Bird and play-the-game stations.
It's called Angry Birds Space Encounter and is the first of its kind.
Astronaut Donald Pettit, a chemical engineer and father of 12-year-old twin boys, announced the collaboration between NASA and Angry Birds creator Rovio Entertainment a year ago while living aboard the International Space Station. He squeezed in as much physics as he could in the YouTube announcement.
"Wow, this could be a great venue for getting some physics and getting some math and getting some science into something that has the connotation as just an empty brain-draining video game that sucks out the creativity from the minds of young people," Pettit told The Associated Press at the grand opening.
"And so I thought, well, maybe I could help make a difference on this and bring the idea of a game up to a different level, where unbeknownst to the kids playing it, they're learning a little bit of math and physics at the same time."
Enter the concepts of parabolic trajectories, hyperbolic trajectories, elliptical trajectories and even Holman transfer orbits, "which is what we do with spacecraft going from Planet A to Planet B."
"There's all this stuff latent in this game, particularly if you tend to be a geek, or an uber-geek or what I'm actually calling now a super-uber-geek," Pettit said. "All of this stuff can be mined out of this game and it can be used as an excuse to learn more. If you're not in any of those categories as a kid, you can still play the game and be entertained."
Parent Alert: If a Ph.D. astronaut like Pettit endorses Angry Birds Space, it must be worthwhile.
Toss in space shuttle Atlantis, making its museum debut in another few months, and the educational value goes sky-high.
The $100 million Atlantis display, just a few minutes' stroll from Angry Birds Space Encounter, opens June 29.
Angry Birds is "a nice prelude to Atlantis and it will be a nice complement as well," especially for children, said John Stine, Delaware North Co.'s director of sales and events at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
"They're going to learn something about Angry Birds and they're going to really be inspired when they go to Atlantis."
The Finnish-based Rovio Entertainment has another Angry Birds Space exhibit up its sleeve at another locale in the near future, said Dan Mitchell, the company's director of location-based entertainment.
"But you can't get a much more true-to-life space theme than being here at Kennedy Space Center," Mitchell said as his 6-year-old daughter waited none too patiently at the exhibit entrance.
The 4,485-square-foot (417-square-meter) exhibit features six interactive stations, including 4-foot-high (1.2-meter-high) Eggsteroids Slingshots that children can use to launch mini Angry Birds at enemy pigs, and a laser-beam obstacle course set on the Red Planet.
This reporter's son had to be dragged away after more than an hour inside the noisy, darkened chamber—noisy and dark for grown-ups, that is. The Florida sunlight beckoned, with the outdoor play area, rocket garden and shuttle launch-simulator ride.
"Want to go back to the Angry Birds?" he pleaded a few days later. "Pleeeease."
More information: If You Go...
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER VISITOR COMPLEX: Located about an hour's drive east of Orlando, Fla.; www.kennedyspacecenter.com/ . Open daily 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Adults, $50; children 3-11, $40 (plus tax). Angry Birds Space Encounter is included with regular admission. Unmanned rockets still soar from nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, so check to see if a launch is coming up for double the fun.

MIAMI — Paul George's first Game 7 will be unforgettable — for all the wrong reasons.
The All-Star guard's breakthrough season ended one game short of the NBA Finals — and the manner in which it ended will likely have him wondering what might have been throughout the offseason. He was held to seven points before fouling out early in the fourth quarter, his night epitomizing the struggle that spelled the end of the Indiana Pacers' season.
LeBron James scored 32 points and grabbed eight rebounds, ailing Dwyane Wade matched his postseason high with 21 points, and the Miami Heat ran away from the Pacers 99-76 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night.
In the NBA Finals for the third straight year, the Heat will play the San Antonio Spurs in a series that starts Thursday in South Florida.
"Everybody in this country knows who the Indiana Pacers are now," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "And we represent all the right things: class, character, hard work, old-school basketball, playing the game the right way. We represented our franchise, our city and our state extremely, extremely well, and we have a lot to be proud of."
Roy Hibbert scored 18 points for the Pacers, who got 14 from David West, 13 from George Hill and 10 from Lance Stephenson. George was held to a miserable 2-for-9 shooting night, and was the last Indiana player on the floor as Miami prepped for its postgame celebration. He shook any hand he could find before being walked toward the visiting locker room by Vogel, who slung an arm over his star's shoulder.
George's time will likely come — someday.
Not yet, though. Not with this Miami team built for titles. It's the fourth trip to the finals for the Heat, who won the title in 2006 and have now been there all three years of the "Big Three" era, falling to Dallas in 2011 and then topping Oklahoma City in five games last year.
"The great thing is we're a young team and we are past the building stage," George said. "This is really our first year tasting success. The rate we are going, we see championships soon."
They're getting closer. A second-round loss to Miami in six games last year was followed by a seven-game, conference-finals exit this time around.
Still, they'll be watching the title round.
"The future is bright," Hibbert said.
It might have even gotten brighter in the din of Monday's defeat, when West flatly said that he wants to return to the Pacers, though he's free to go elsewhere now.
"I can't see myself going anywhere else," West said. "We're the second-best team in the Eastern Conference, one of the top four teams in the league in my estimation, based on this year."
For the Heat, their season, their legacy, their reign atop the NBA was all at stake, so they responded in a manner befitting defending champions — with a blowout.
"They're just an amazing group of guys," Heat managing general partner Micky Arison said after handing the East championship trophy to Chris Andersen. "They've given us an incredible season so far, but it's a long way from over."
It could have ended on Monday, of course. The Heat had alternated wins and losses with the Pacers in the first six games of the series, and were coming off their worst offensive outing of the year in Game 6.
They responded with a rout, despite shooting just under 40 percent, well below their norm.
"By any means necessary ... we took care of business," James said.
Miami led by as many as 28 points, a shocking amount for a series that had an aggregate score of Heat 569, Pacers 564 entering Monday night. The Heat actually trailed by six in the early going, were still down 21-19 after the first quarter and it was starting to look like one of those down-to-the-wire nights.
Not even close.
James exited with 5:08 left, shaking retired soccer star David Beckham's hand as he made his way to the Heat bench for a relatively subdued celebration. Not long afterward, security personnel started what's become a familiar task in Miami — surrounding the court and stretching out a yellow rope, preparing to hold people at bay for the looming on-court trophy presentation.
"You never want to take anything for granted," Wade said. "Being here three straight years in a row, going back to the finals, is an amazing feat. I'm just glad we were able to do it. Everything that happened in the first six games didn't mean anything to us. It was about tonight. It was about Game 7. It was about finding a way to win here at home."
More than a few people didn't stick around to see the East title formally presented. After all, it's an all-or-nothing season for the Heat — and this trophy isn't the one that will satisfy them.
Ray Allen added 10 points for Miami, which earned its 78th victory of the season, matching the 11th-best, single-season total in NBA history.
James delivered an inspirational address of sorts to his team Monday morning, publicly revealing no details of what he said afterward other than insisting that the Heat would be ready.
He was right. After 5 minutes, it was 12-6 Indiana. After that, the rest of the half was pretty much all Miami.
Once the Pacers cooled off a bit, the Heat immediately went into pull-away mode. Over the final 19 minutes of the half, Miami's edge was 46-25. Over the final 11 minutes, it was 33-14, as James and Allen outscored the Pacers by themselves.
By halftime, it was 52-37, with James scoring 18 points, Chris Bosh and Wade combining for 17 and Allen adding 10 more. And what had to be most troubling to the Pacers at halftime was their 15 turnovers, a number Vogel said earlier Monday would spell trouble if his team committed that many in the entire game.
"They're disappointed," Vogel said. "They felt like we could have won this series. So I think, disappointed but encouraged about the future."
In the third, the run the Pacers so desperately needed never arrived. Indiana was still within 13 with 3:37 left in the period when Hibbert picked up his fourth foul. Ordinarily, that would mean someone goes to the bench, though Game 7 on the road for a trip to the finals hardly could be classified as an ordinary occasion.
So Vogel — who was second-guessed for not having Hibbert on the floor for the final moments in overtime of Game 1, when James got to the rim easily for a game-winning layup — left his center out there with four fouls.
Barely a minute later, it backfired. Hibbert picked up his fifth late in the third, and George got to five fouls by getting whistled twice in the final 46.1 seconds of the quarter.
By then, the outcome was obvious.
It was Miami's night.
"We had one heck of a run," Hibbert said.
NOTES: Miami's Norris Cole and Indiana's Jeff Pendergraph were ejected with 2:17 left after exchanging some heated words. ... Andersen's streak of 18 straight field goals made (he had been 15 for 15 in the series) was snapped in the first half. ... Beckham, who is deciding whether he wants to bring a Major League Soccer team to Miami, was seated next to the Heat bench for the second straight game. Justin Bieber and Flo Rida were also in the crowd, as was reigning American League MVP Miguel Cabrera. ... The Pacers fell to 2-4 all-time in Game 7s, including 0-4 in road editions of winner-take-all games to decide the Eastern Conference title. ... Hibbert did not elaborate Monday about his comments that drew a $75,000 fine after Game 6, saying he wanted to focus on basketball instead.

Michael Miller: In the Zone not only for sports fans
In the Zone has had to deal with a rainout, lineup changes and an unsteady rotation, but the Christian men's event is ready to step up to the plate at 6 p.m. Friday.
Actually, all the baseball references are probably inappropriate, since the majority of sports figures expected to take part in the four-hour Peoria Civic Center event aimed at men are from football.
Joe Theismann, for example, the University of Notre Dame quarterback who led the Washington Redskins to a Super Bowl victory in 1983 and lately has done game commentary for ESPN. Or Spencer Tillman, the former NFL running back who now is lead analyst for CBS's "College Football Today."
The lineup of men from the athletic and business arenas is fluid, changing from week to week depending on availability. Trying to make it to the Peoria In the Zone, for instance, is Ron Zook, head football coach at the University of Illinois. That's the first day of training camp, though, so he's not sure if he'll be there.
Peorian Jeff Schwarzentraub, a 1980s football star at Richwoods High School now involved in ministry, will be there. In fact, he has nailed down a regular In the Zone assignment as their go-to guy for summaries at the end of each of the event's "quarters" of discussion on topics important to men, such as fatherhood.
In the Zone initially was supposed to happen in Peoria on June 16, but ticket sales lagged due to lack of exposure, said event co-founder Joe Pettigrew. It probably didn't help that it also was Father's Day weekend as well as the weekend of the Steamboat Festival.
Originally scheduled for the arena at $60 per person, the venue has changed to the Civic Center Theater and the ticket price is down to $39 (or $35 for people in groups of 10 or more).
Ticket sales are still weak, though. Civic Center spokeswoman Melissa Aga said attendance is expected to be around 500, with a lot of that being in walk-up sales.
Rich Gerberding, a member of The Grove Church who is involved in several men's ministries, pointed out that the event is new, so it hasn't had a chance to build up steam. The Peoria event is only the fourth In the Zone.
Pettigrew, a Memphis, Tenn.-based consultant who started the event with former pro soccer player Kyle Rote Jr., said In the Zone's target is the guy in his 20s or 30s who wants to hear other men talking about being a father, a husband and an employee -- and finding the right balance for it all.
The format reflects a sports talk show, with Tillman and the guests, who change from city to city, sitting around on a sports-oriented set and talking. In between, video segments feature people like Tony Dungy, head coach of Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts, and Lovie Smith, the Chicago Bears head coach who lost the Super Bowl to Dungy this year.
The sports and guy talk doesn't overshadow the faith aspect, though, Pettigrew said.
"It's biblically based, every piece of every bit," he said. "Our goal is for guys that might not be going to church every Sunday, this might be something they want to come hear. It's biblically based but also offers life principles."
That's where Schwarzentraub, who runs One Heartbeat Ministries in Peoria, comes in.
"I give the perspective from, 'Here's what God's word has to say about it,' " he said.
In the Zone is also shorter than typical men's events like Promise Keepers, which usually run a full day to two days. That's because, Pettigrew said, many of the men surveyed before In the Zone was launched indicated they just don't have that kind of time thanks to softball, tee ball, "honey-do's" and other activities.
"Our hearts were for this guy, 30 years old that's trying to make the mortgage payment, trying to figure this marriage thing out, trying to figure out women, trying to be the dad," Pettigrew said.
While it takes a sports approach, even men who could take or leave sports will gain from coming, Schwarzentraub said.
"It was designed with the intent to capture guys that have a heart for sports, but if you came and you weren't the biggest sports fan in the world, you'd still walk away and have a good time with the whole thing," he said.

In the final installment of the Top 40 Americans in the ABL series, we now feature the very best import players (#1-10) hailing from the U.S.A. It has been a rewarding experience interacting with players, coaches, scouts, front office staff, media representatives and baseball fans to put together this rather ambitious undertaking. Congratulations to 2013 ABL Champ Canberra Cavalry!

Congratulations to our player of the game Brian Grening going 7.2 innings and recording 6 strike outs #CHARGE
— Canberra Cavalry (@CanberraCavalry) February 8, 2013
#10 Brian Grening of the Canberra Cavalry has always kept MLB caliber talent close by his side. The former 2008 Cleveland Indians draft pick was teammates with ABL Triple Crown winner and recently signed San Diego Padres prospect Adam Buschini as well as St. Louis Cardinals prospect and Top 40 American in the ABL Adam Melker (#23) in 2007-08 at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. More recently the 27-year-old Newport Beach, California native was teammates with fellow Cavalry pitchers and Top 40 Americans in the ABL Sean Toler (#32) and Dustin Loggins (#40) along with one-time Atlanta Braves/Kansas City Royals prospect Steve Kent while playing independent ball for the 2012 Kansas City T-Bones. As a starter in the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball last year, he registered a career-high 113 strike outs–while picking up ten wins with a 3.69 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. He was equally as impressive in the ABL last season, making 23 relief appearances and striking out 43 batters in 43.2 innings of work.

In addition to his critical postseason victory in ABL Championship Series Game 1 against former two-time champ Perth Heat, the hard-throwing right-hander posted a 4-2 record in regular season action with a 2.87 ERA. The ABL Team World All-Star pitcher was a mentor for the slew of first-time American imports to Canberra. First-year Cavalry manager Michael Collins praised Grening for developing into the team's top starting pitcher and taking on a leadership role with the club's rookies. Collins said, "Brian's been huge. He came here last year as a bit of everything. He came back strong and was our number one starter this year. He really led these new guys and was comfortable in everything he did." Grening felt home field advantage with the Canberra fans suffocated Perth's chances of a Heat three-peat. He said, "When you get it on, the place erupts, it makes you feel like you're on top of them. It's way more detrimental to the other team when the whole place is right on top of you, so awesome crowd, the best I've ever seen in Australia,
best fans in the ABL…"
Special thanks to the @sydneybluesox for the opportunity! And to all the fans that supported us the whole season! #WhoRocks #BlueSox

Upon the recommendation of Sydney Blue Sox recruiter and ex-Minnesota Twins third baseman Glenn Williams–who was was inducted in the Baseball Australia's Hall of Fame and won a silver medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens–#9 James Robbins from
the Detroit Tigers Single-A Advanced affiliate Lakeland Flying Tigers was summoned to play in New South Wale's capital city. He was the most prized and highly-touted player of Sydney's five American imports, including Top 40 Americans in the ABL J.D Williams (#29) and Tyler Herr (#23) as well as Zach Penprase (#20) and Geoff Klein (#13).
Thank you to everyone in Australia! You guys were awesome! So much support! We all loved our time here! Thank you for the hospitality!
— James Robbins (@JRobb_021) February 2, 2013
Robbins, alongside former Sydney Blue Sox and 2012 Top 20 American in the ABL Tyler Collins (#9), led Lakeland to a Florida State League Championship after appearing in 124 games last year. The left-handed hitting DH and first baseman made his pro debut at 18 when he played for the Rookie Gulf Coast League Tigers and was ranked the 29th best prospect in the Tigers organization by Baseball America. A 30th round pick by Detroit in the 2009 draft out of Shorecrest High School in Shoreline, Washington, the 22-year-old was third for Sydney in batting average (.298), slugging (.461) and RBI (26).

#8 Jack Murphy of the Canberra Cavalry was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 31st round of the 2009 MLB June Amateur Draft from Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey. Excellent behind the plate, the 24-year-old Sarasota, Florida-born catcher possesses a .993 fielding percentage (better than any catcher in the MLB Hall of Fame). Throwing out 29 of 76 baserunners (38%) while finding his power stroke and hitting 10 home runs in 2012 at Single-A Advanced Dunedin, Murphy had a breakout season prior to joining the Canberra Cavalry. He caught fire against the Melbourne Aces in ABL Round Four action–during which he went 9-for-17 with a home run, a double and five RBI–and was subsequently chosen to represent Team World in the 2012 ABL All-Star Game. Third on the 2012-13 Cavalry staff in doubles (11), home runs (5) and RBI (24), the Toronto Blue Jays prospect posted a respectable .304 batting average and a .480 slugging percentage.

#7 Michael Ohlman of the Perth Heat received a $995,000 signing bonus after being chosen by the Baltimore Orioles in the 11th round of the 2009 draft out Florida's Lakewood Ranch High School. Ohlman finished the 2012 season with the Single-A Delmarva on a roll. He batted .304 with 16 doubles, two home runs and 28 RBI in 51 games. He reached base in 47 of his 50 starts and led the team with a .411 on-base percentage. The MLB prospect will likely start 2013 at Single-A Advanced Frederick, where Perth teammates–Top American in the ABL Brenden Webb (#18) and Aussie Alan de San Miguel–played last year. Hoping to lead Perth to its third-straight ABL Championship title, the
22-year-old Ohlman and San Miguel split time between first base and catcher with the Heat. Having the best overall ABL campaign of the three Baltimore farmhands, Ohlman hit .317 with six home runs and 27 RBI in 43 regular season games and hit .467 in the postseason.
Wanted to thank the @perthheat family for welcoming me with open arms this year. I had the time of my life and hope to see everyone soon!

#6 Ryan Stovall of the Canberra Cavalry signed on with ACT Baseball club Tuggeranong Vikings after a try-out with the Arizona Diamondbacks aspiring to make it in the ABL and eventually to MLB. Cavalry manager Michael Collins learned of the 25-year-old Florida native in no time and officially added him to the Canberra roster after making an impression in the New Zealand national team exhibition series. It was the second time an import playing for a local club has made an instant impact for the Cavalry as fellow Top 40 American in the ABL Kody Hightower had been recruited by Canberra from the Ainslie-Gungahlin Bears in 2011. Originally selected by the Kansas City Royals in the 19th round of the 2009 draft out of Georgia's Thomas University, he played for Single-A Advanced Wilmington Blue Rocks in two of his three seasons in the Royals organization before being delisted in 2011. Appearing in 80 games for the American Association of Independent Baseball 2012 Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, Stovall was a very well-seasoned utility player who saw time at first, second, and third as well as all three outfield positions.

The Team World ABL All-Star was signed by the Arizona Diamondbacks after a few weeks of ABL action. He was also named ABL Player of the Week for Round Nine during which time he led the league with the best batting average. While playing away against the Perth Heat, Stovall went 9-for-20 (.450) with two home runs, two doubles, a triple, and seven RBI. His off-the-charts performance spurred a big momentum swing for the Cavalry as they took three of four games from the league's 2011 and 2012 Claxton Shield champions to move into clear sole possession of first place. While sporting a .320 batting average in the ABL, Stovall
was the leader in triples (4), runner-up in slugging percentage (.582), and third in runs (32). He was rewarded for his hard work in Australia and in indy ball by getting his contract purchased by a Major League Baseball franchise. "Ryan does a lot of good things on the baseball field," said RedHawks manager Doug Simunic. "He can play all over the field, swings the bat well and is a plus runner. Hopefully he can go to Arizona and work his way up in their organization."

#5 Kody Hightower of the Canberra Cavalry is an unsung American hero, who after being disregarded by U.S. professional baseball retreated to the European leagues and has since been a fixture as one of the continent's most adored and cherished elite superstar players. Here's the lowdown on MLB's MIA Kody Hightower. After being selected as a
NAIA All-America Honorable Mention at Brevard College in North Carolina, he was named to the 2008 Southern States Athletic All-Conference team, NAIA Region 13 team, and the NCCAA All-South team in addition to being an All-American and the NCCAA South Region Player of the Year in his final two seasons at Southern Wesleyan University in South Carolina. He posted a .427 batting average with six home runs, seven triples,
16 doubles, 61 runs scored and 64 RBI in 58 games during his 2008 collegiate campaign. Despite his stellar year, he was completely ignored in the 2008 MLB June Amateur Draft.
The leadoff home run from Kody Hightower in the 1st inning of the ABL championship game clocked in at a brisk 20.62 secs. @ableague
— Tater Trot Tracker (@TaterTrotTrkr) February 9, 2013
Witness the speed of #5 Kody Hightower when he legs out this inside-the-park home run off #14 Anthony Claggett (of Top 40 Americans in the ABL fame) in 2013 ABL Championship Game 1 by clicking HERE and when he sprints around the bases after launching a leadoff homer off Detroit Tigers prospect Warwick Saupold in ABLCS Game 2 by clicking HERE.
Winner of the Cavalry ABL Fan Choice Award two years straight, Hightower ended the 2011-12 season with a .361 batting average (third in the ABL) and was equally as impressive this past season with a .325 batting average (fourth in the ABL). At the time he was named ABL Player of the Week for Round Seven, Canberra's 27-year-old spark plug was leading
the Cavalry and the ABL with a .406 batting average. Igniting the league's best offense–which finished nearly thirty points higher (.295 batting average) than second place Perth (.267 batting average), the Cavalry shortstop went 11-for-17 (.647) with two doubles, two home runs, three runs scored and six RBI in four games against the Melbourne Aces during ABL Round Seven competition.
Isn't Virgil Vasquez great?! He's thrown 3 straight scoreless innings. Bonomi coming up in the bottom of the 3rd #ZenMaster #ABLHeatCavalry
— Perth Heat (@PerthHeat) December 28, 2012
#4 Virgil Vasquez of the Perth Heat credits qigong–an ancient Chinese regimen of body, breath, and mental training exercises–for transforming his career and the reason for his second chance in the Bigs. "It's an opening to find out more of who I am. With the qigong and the meditation, I'm just living life with a different attitude–without fear and trying to enjoy every moment," said the Heat pitcher and recently signed Minnesota Twins minor leaguer. "It's made me realize you never really know how you're going to end up with the dream you hold in your mind. Just allow the path that you're on to keep going and know that you're going to end up where you're supposed to be." His path led him to Minnesota via Melbourne, where his zen-like pitching sent a renowned Twins scout into nirvana. Vasquez said, "The story is I was pitching in Melbourne. There's a guy called Howie Norsetter over there who signed Luke Hughes and a few other Perth boys. He watched me pitch and liked what he saw. He turned my name in,
and it happened just a few days later."

Starting for the Perth Heat in nine games, the ABL Team World All-Star hurler recorded four victories and 55 stikeouts in 61.2 innings of work with
a 2.77 ERA. Picked by the Detroit Tigers in the 7th round of the 2003 MLB draft out of the University of California, Santa Barbara, the Southern Californian spent three years in the minor leagues before making his MLB debut in 2007. After signing with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2009 and making seven starts, Vasquez was dealt to the Tampa Bay Rays in 2010. At Triple-A Durham, he went 6-2 with a 4.88 ERA in 12 starts. Signed by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim during the winter of 2010, Vasquez was subsequently released at 2011 Angels Spring Training. He pitched for the indy Southern Maryland Blue Crabs in 2012 before heading to Perth. Now in his 11th pro baseball season, the 30-year-old veteran hopes to start at Triple-A Rochester before gravitating toward his imminent return to MLB in Minnesota.

#3 Jeremy Barnes of the Canberra Cavalry was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 11th round of the 2009 MLB June Amateur Draft from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. The infielder spent four years in the minor leagues and reached as high as Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Former Cavalry manager Steve Schrenk, a pitching coach in the Phillies organization, recruited Barnes to play in the ABL and become Canberra's third baseman after the Phillies released Barnes at the conclusion of the 2012 season. The Texas-born slugger's stats were among the best in the ABL: 16 doubles (1st); 32 RBI, .423 on-base percentage and .989 on-base plus slugging (2nd); 57 hits, seven home runs, .343 batting average and .566 slugging (3rd). Barnes has focused on producing rather than worrying about being picked up by another MLB team. "I can hit .350, but if there's no spots or no interest, I can't control that,"
he said. "All I can do is put up numbers, and hopefully it happens. It can drive you crazy, but it's all part of the business."

Named ABL Pitcher of the Week for Rounds Seven and Nine, #2 Chris Smith of the Brisbane Bandits crushed hitters in Australia. The Kentucky native threw seven innings of one-hit ball with 11 strikeouts on December 14th against the Adelaide Bite, and returned just two weeks later for a memorable encore performance by pitching a complete shutout with a new ABL record 15 strikeouts versus the Melbourne Aces. In his nine starts for the Brisbane Bandits, the 24-year-old right-hander had the ABL's lowest WHIP (.85)–while posting a 3-3 record with a 2.31 ER and a 65:7 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 50.2 innings. The former Kentucky Wesleyan College outfielder and closer set a Panther season record with eight saves during his senior year. Ranking in KWC's all-time Top 10 in six pitching and hitting categories, Smith broke college records for most games played and starts (187). As a 2012 indy Frontier League Washington Wild Things starting pitcher, the Yankees prospect led the team in starts (19), wins (nine), innings pitched (129) and strikeouts (116).

Ironically, our top American in the ABL–
#1 Adam Buschini of the Canberra Cavalry–was not named to Team World in the 2012 ABL All-Star Game. Yet, Buschini was awarded the first-ever ABL Triple Crown for his heroic 2012-13 ABL regular season. The Triple Crown–awarded to a player who has the highest batting average, the most home runs and driven in the most runs in a season–is one of the game's rarities. The Triple Crown has only been achieved 16 times in over 130 years of MLB history. The 25-year-old Northern California-based slugger claimed the ABL Triple Crown with a .363 batting average, a league record-tying 15 homers, and an ABL record-breaking 50 RBI in just 45 games. He was named ABL Player of the Week twice. In ABL Round 10 action, Buschini went 8-for-17 (.471) with a double, three home runs and 9 RBI. As if that was not impressive enough, he exploded in ABL Round 13 when he went 9-for-15 (.600) with four homers and 9 RBI to help the Cavalry claim the top playoff spot.
Congratulations to Adam Buschini @abuschini who won the #ABL Triple Crown (.363 AVG, 15 HR, 50 RBI)! @canberracavalry
— The ABL (@ABLeague) January 27, 2013
See ABL Triple Crown Winner and #1 Adam Buschini in action by clicking HERE and HERE. Buschini was selected in the fourth round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft by the Phillies out of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. In his final season for the Mustangs, Buschini hit .422–which is the school's Division I record. He was a career .336 hitter in college from 2006-09 despite missing the 2008 season due to Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. Canberra general manager Thom Carter said, "Here's a kid who was drafted high in the fourth round by the Phillies, had some injury problems and got cut. He played two years of excellent independent ball, came out here hoping to get seen and was seen." Recommended to the Padres by Canberra manager Michael Collins–a former Padres minor league catcher who manages the organization's Dominican League and Arizona League teams–San Diego picked up the remaining three years of the contract Buschini originally signed with the Phillies in 2009. San Diego vice president of player development and international scouting Randy Smith said, "Quite frankly, he tore it up. He had very good numbers, runs well, is a good athlete. So we gave him a Spring Training invite. We'll see what he can do."

Coffee Liqueur, according to legend, was first made somewhere in the Caribbean during 17th century when someone accidentally spilled rum into their coffee… Hopefully it was not at breakfast time!
Coffee Liqueur
- 750 ml of either: vodka, rum, brandy, or cognac
- 1 cup instant coffee powder
- 2 1/4 cups maple syrup
- Decant the 750ml of liquor into a 2 quart glass container, with a tight fitting lid.
- Add the coffee powder to the container and stir to combine. Allow for infusion while keeping the container away from sunlight in a cool place for a month; shake it three times a week.
- When the intensity of flavor meets your taste. strain liqueur through a coffee filter into a bowl. Discard any solids.
- Add the maple syrup to taste.
- Pour the liqueur into a bottle. Age for one month away from light and heat.
Coffee Liqueur Barbecue Sauce
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 cup mashed banana
- 1 tablespoon grated horseradish
- 1 cup orange blossom honey
- 1 cup aged balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 6 ounces espresso (4 shots)
- 1/2 cup coffee liqueur
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat cook garlic for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add remaining ingredients.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often.
- Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes.
- Pour into a blender and puree to smooth.
I sometimes add a 1/4 teaspoon of dried crushed red pepper to add some extra flavor
I've been making the coffee liqueur for a number of years and find that it's every bit as good as the major brands (which are getting harder to find kosher). I tried the barbeque sauce a few times with chicken, this summer, and found it absolutely delectable.
Enjoy, gentle reader, enjoy!

Every year, Major League Baseball holds two player drafts. Most fans are familiar with and have a basic understanding of the First-Year Player Draft, which occurs each June and deals with amateur players in the United States and Puerto Rico. But the Rule 5 Draft, which takes place in December and concerns professional players, is less understood. Below are some questions and answers intended to clarify how the Rule 5 Draft works.
What happens when a player is selected in the Rule 5 Draft?
A team that selects a player in the Rule 5 Draft pays $50,000 to the team from which he was selected. The receiving team must then keep the player on the Major League 25-man roster for the entirety of the next season, and the selected player must remain active (not on the disabled list) for a minimum of 90 days. If the player does not remain on the Major League roster, he is offered back to the team from which he was selected for $25,000. If his original team declines, the receiving team may waive the player.
Once a player is selected, he is automatically assigned to his new organization's 40-man roster.
Can any Minor League player be drafted?
No. Players who were signed when they were 19 or older and have played in professional baseball for four years are eligible, as are players who were signed at 18 and have played for five years.
All players on a Major League Baseball team's 40-man roster, regardless of other eligibility factors, are "protected" and ineligible for the Rule 5 Draft.
Can players selected in the Rule 5 Draft be traded?
Teams may trade a player selected in the Rule 5 Draft, but the same rules regarding roster placement apply to the player's new team.
In what order do teams draft?
Teams draft in reverse order of the regular-season standings. Any team that does not have any vacancies on its 40-man roster may not make a selection.
Are there different phases to the Rule 5 Draft?
Yes. There are also Triple-A and Double-A phases to the Rule 5 Draft. Players put on the Triple-A reserve list cost the selecting team $12,000, and players put on the Double-A reserve list cost the selecting team $4,000.
Who are the most successful players be selected in the Rule 5 Draft?
Roberto Clemente, Johan Santana, Dan Uggla, Josh Hamilton and Joakim Soria are among the notable players to be selected in a Rule 5 Draft.
Where can I find results for recent Rule 5 Drafts?

Boston College sociologist (and economist) Juliet Schor is one of the confirmed presenters at the Third Annual Project on Law and Mind Sciences Conference (titled "The Free-Market Mindset: History, Psychology, and Consequences" and scheduled for March 7, 2009).
Schor's recent work — as summarized on her website and as illustrated by her brilliant book, Born to Buy: The Commercialized Child and the New Consumer Culture — focuses "on issues pertaining to trends in work and leisure, consumerism, the relationship between work and family, women's issues and economic justice."
Here are two Youtube videos in which Professor Schor summarizes some of her research and writing. In this first video (roughly 30 minutes), Schor discusses her book, Born to Buy.

Though I haven't stopped planning our week's meals, it's been forever since I've actually published a Meal Plan Monday, n'est-ce pas? This is a week of trying some new recipes and relying on old favourites.
Monday : Carrot, Sweet Potato & Coconut casserole. (I'll be sharing the recipe for this family-favourite later in the week.)
Carrot, Sweet Potato & Coconut Casserole
Tuesday : Polenta with Wild Mushroom Ragu and Sun-Dried Tomato Biscotti.
Wednesday : Seitan Buffalo Wings and coleslaw.
Thursday : Left-overs
Friday : pizza night
Has anyone guessed which new cookbook I have? I need to make a few recipes before I can properly share what I think about it, but I've got a good feeling so far.
Also, there's a holiday sale over at the Thora Thinks store (where you can purchase a copy of the great children's book I reviewed last week, Garlic-Onion-Beet-Spinach-Mango-Carrot-Grapefruit Juice). There's also a free winter-themed colouring page up for grabs as well.
Will you be trying any new recipes this week?

Researchers announced Thursday a rare discovery of a new species of mammal called the olinguito. The reddish-brown animal is about 2 feet long with a long tail and weighs about 2 pounds.
It belongs to a grouping of large creatures that include dogs, cats and bears.
The critter leaps through the trees of mountainous forests of Ecuador and Colombia at night, according to a Smithsonian researcher who has spent the past decade tracking them.
But the adorable olinguito (oh-lihn-GEE'-toe) shouldn't have been too hard to find. One of them once lived in the Smithsonian-run National Zoo in Washington for a year in a case of mistaken identity.
"It's been kind of hiding in plain sight for a long time" despite its extraordinary beauty, said Kristofer Helgen, the Smithsonian's curator of mammals.
The little zoo critter, named Ringerl, was mistaken for a sister species, the olingo. Before she died in 1976, Ringerl was shipped from zoo to zoo in Louisville, Ky., Tucson, Ariz., Salt Lake City, Washington and New York City to try to get it to breed with other olingos.
She wouldn't.
"It turns out she wasn't fussy," Helgen said. "She wasn't the right species."
The discovery is described in a study in the journal ZooKey.
Helgen first figured olinguitos were different from olingos when he was looking at pelts and skeletons in a museum. He later led a team to South America in 2006.
"When we went to the field we found it in the very first night," said study co-author Roland Kays of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. "It was almost like it was waiting for us."
It's hard to figure how olingos and onlinguitos were confused for each other.
"How is it different? In almost every way that you can look at it," Helgen said.
Olinguitos are smaller, have shorter tails, a rounder face, tinier ears and darker bushier fur, he said.
"It looks kind of like a fuzzball ... kind of like a cross between a teddy bear and a house cat," Helgen said.
It eats fruit and has one baby at a time. Helgen figures there are thousands of olinguitos in the mountainous forest, traveling through the trees at night which makes them hard to see.
While new species are found regularly, usually they are tiny things like insects and not mammals, the warm-blooded advanced class of animals that have hair, live births and mammary glands in females.
Outside experts said this discovery not merely renaming something, but a genuine new species - with three new subspecies - and a significant find, the type that hasn't happened for about 35 years.
"Most people believe there are no new species to discover, particularly of relatively large charismatic animals," said Case Western Reserve University anatomy professor Darin Croft. "This study demonstrates that this is clearly not the case."
The olinguito is the smallest member of the raccoon family of mammals.
The researchers only saw olinguitos in Ecuador and Colombia, but they said they could also be living in parts of Panama, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, and Guyana, based on their cloud forest habitat.
The olingo is also native to Central and South America.
The North Carolina museum is already selling olinguito stuffed animals for about $15. Proceeds will benefit habitat preservation for the creatures.

Guthrie is an expensive place to live in. It becomes challenging to meet the ends when you don't have a high paying stable job. Time goes fast, and you don't know how to turn your cash crunch. No direct lenders or banks will give you a loan if you have a meager salary. However, there is a fast and instant way to get cash loans online. If you are from Guthrie in Oklahoma, then Guthrie title loans service is there for your rescue. Online loans are straightforward to apply. To get a loan online through this method involves minimum complications.
Before you apply for title loans in Guthrie, you should make sure of the following:
The process of getting a title loan is straightforward. You can either apply online or go to the lender and talk in person. You just need to prove the following things to get approved within no time:
For any title loan, you need to have a car that you own. The ownership of the vehicle needs to be solely under your name. If this is not the case, then you may not get the title loan.
There is a minimal/no credit check when it comes to title loans. One such way to check whether you have bad credit is to ask for the latest bank statement or salary slip. It gives the lender an idea that you will be able to repay the loan.
Now, Guthrie car title loans can be applied online and is a rather simple process. You can get easy title loans Guthrie in Oklahoma OK if you are in urgent need of cash. The catch of car title loans Guthrie is that it gets approved within 30-45 minutes of applying. You just need to submit certain documents and transfer your car's title in the lender's name. The lender will transfer the money directly to your bank account. Applying online makes it faster to get the cash.
You cannot get two Guthrie auto title loans from the same car at the same time. However, you can get a title loan for the same car at different periods. When you repay your loan from one title loan, you get back the car's title in your name. Now you can use the car to get another title loan by transferring the title in the second lender's name. Moreover, you can apply for multiple title loans at the same time if you have many cars.
There are no specific charges when you apply for a title loan. The only costs for your loan are the interest you pay while repaying your loan. Non-repayment of loan can lead to the following commands:
Payment of fees
If you default any payment, the lender can charge a fee for it. Every state in the US has its law regarding the fees. Some states have a limit set for the fee that can be charged. On the other hand, other states have given lenders the freedom to charge any fee.
Possession of Vehicle
The default of payment may have some extreme consequences. The lender has the right to take possession of your vehicle in case of default. You can get the car back only by paying back the loan. You have no option in case the lender sells the car and relieves you from the loan. However, you are entitled to get the extra cash from the sale of your car.
Other than the eligibility requirements for title loans, you also need to have the following documents:
You should have a valid ID card for a title loan. The name in the ID card should be exactly similar to the name in your car's title. Every letter and dot should be identical, or your loan will get rejected.
