2009 Top Prospect List: #15 Zach Stewart, rhp
Height 6-2, Weight 205, B/T: R/R, DOB: 09/28/1986
2008 Redlegs Baseball Prospect Ranking: Not Ranked
Zach Stewart is one of the promising power relief arms in the Reds farm system. It's a testament to the renewed strength of the Reds farm system that they have so many intriguing relievers. To me, the old axiom that "relievers are failed starters" rings true. If you don't have quality starting pitching prospects in the system, then those prospects better suited to relief will still be used as starting pitchers. Once you get quality starting pitching prospects, then the lesser prospects can be shifted to relief roles. As for Stewart, the Reds were able to keep him in the relief role that he filled in college and may advance him quickly through the farm system.
Stewart spent three years in college, spending time at three separate universities. Stewart distinguished himself at Texas Tech, after stints at North Central Texas College and a semester at Angelo State University. Scouts were impressed by Stewart, despite the fact that he only posted a 4.98 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, and 43/21 K/BB ratio in 47.0 innings. Clearly, a 4.0 BB/9 and 8.2 K/9 aren't bad ratios, but they're hardly eye-popping. Obviously, it was the live arm that impressed the scouts.
Stewart features two primary pitches: a heavy fastball that sits in the 95-97 mph range and an average slider with plus potential. His fastball also has good movement, which improves its effectiveness. Scouts rate him as having plus control, but his walk rates seem to suggest otherwise. It may well be that he has plus command of his fastball, but mediocre command of his slider. Obviously, a larger sample size will reveal more about his control.
In addition, scouts are impressed with his demeanor on the mound, believing that he may have the right temperament to work high leverage innings. The Reds have Francisco Cordero under control through at least 2011 and an option for 2012, but scouts believe that Stewart profiles well as a closer in the future.
The Reds selected Stewart with the 84th overall pick in the 3rd round of the 2008 draft. Personally, I found the selection a bit curious, as college relievers are often more volatile and lower ceiling than other prospects. In addition, the Reds didn't have a second round draft pick, so it would seem to be more advisable to select a prospect with higher upside. That said, the selection did get good reviews from Baseball America, so only time will tell.
After the Reds signed Stewart, they sent him to low-A Dayton, where he was stellar. He posted a 0.55 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, and 13/3 K/BB ratio in 16.1 innings. He clearly dominated, but realistically speaking he should perform well against that level of competition. His dominance earned him a promotion to high-A Sarasota. At Sarasota, Stewart posted a 1.62 ERA, 1.62 WHIP, and 23/11 K/BB ratio in 16.2 innings. Obviously, he had no difficulty with class A ball competition, but he wasn't quite as good as it may seem. At Dayton, his FIP was 2.45 and at Sarasota it was 2.60. So, in actuality, he was very good, but not outstanding.
To me, there are two questions on Stewart. 1) How good is his control? 2) How much of his 2008 success was achieved simply by overwhelming a lower level of competition with a plus fastball? The answers to those questions will determine just how successful he'll be in 2009 against more advanced competition and just how quickly he'll arrive at the MLB level.
Stewart is reputed to have pretty clean mechanics. However, after taking a second and third look, a few potential red flags jump out at me. But, let's start off with the good. First off, Stewart has a smooth delivery and a free-and-easy arm action. Despite his high velocity, he's not a max-effort type pitcher. He has a strong leg kick that includes some coiling of the body and bringing his knee up to his chest.
Unfortunately, the free-and-easy arm action comes with a cost. The reason his arm action looks so syrupy smooth is that it's long in the back. After he breaks his hands, he's slow to get his arm up into throwing position. Part of the reason for this is that he gets his throwing elbow up a bit too high, bringing it up above shoulder level. This arm action forces his arm to lag behind, as it takes longer to bring it up to throwing position. The general rule is that a pitcher should have his pitching arm up into throwing position when the plant foot lands. That's not the case with Stewart, whose long arm action can cause his pitching arm to lag behind and not be in proper position when his plant foot lands. In fact, at times his pitching arm is almost parallel to the ground when his plant foot lands (Stewart's arm action is similar to that of Anthony Reyes in this photo, though less extreme. You can see that Reyes' plant foot is down and that his pitching arm is still almost parallel to the ground. Also, his pitching elbow is above shoulder level). The lag adds stress to the arm and hinders his ability to maximize the power generated by his leg drive. Accordingly, instead of throwing with his entire body, he throws more with just his arm, which is the more stressful way to generate velocity.
Overall, Stewart has the potential for an increased risk of injury over the course of his career. Fortunately, Stewart's role as a reliever will limit his workload and help prevent injury.
You can see his MLB draft scouting video here.
Stewart is an intriguing power arm. Unfortunately, he comes with several significant question marks. His mechanics may increase his injury risk and he may not be able to effectively command his secondary stuff. It'll be interesting to see how he fares in a larger sample size against more advanced competition. For now, Stewart checks in at #15, but given his dual risk, both performance and injury, I have a few doubts about his future. That said, he has a very live power arm and could advance quickly up the ladder if he demonstrates good command.

Would be nice if you are going to talk about someone that you would at least know their history a litte. Zach pitched for 2 seasons at North Central Texas College, he spent the fall only at Angelo State University. He was an all region selection both years at NCTC, where he both started a conference game and was asked to close one later in the week. He once pitched a 12 inning complete game versus Temple College and was still 91 on the stalker in the 12th inning. Zach's unimpressive college numbers his Junior year were entirely due to his first start which came with 3 weeks left in the season versus Oklahoma where after striking out 5 of 6 in the first 2 innings he lost command in the 3rd and eventually game up 9 earned runs and had 5 walks in 2 2/3 innings.ReplyDelete
Not totally unexpected for someone that had been trained since the fall to throw 25 pitches every day.
Hey Anon,ReplyDelete
Thanks for the tip. I actually do as much research as possible on each of these prospects and use as many sources as I can find before writing anything up. Unfortunately, community college baseball stats, stories, and information aren't as widely available as one might think. The source I found indicated that Stewart spent a year at Angelo State University, not just a semester. However, judging by your level of knowledge about Zach Stewart, I'm guessing that you're either a relative or a former coach of his, so I'll take your word on it.
As for his college stats being dragged down by a spot start, that's not surprising given the nature of college baseball. I love college baseball and its inherent differences from the MLB game, from the metal bats to the different usage patterns for the pitchers. Unless a pitcher is a "Friday starter," then a bit of volatility in usage isn't that surprising. College managers don't adhere to strict pitch counts like the MLB and they frequently move pitchers to different roles to meet the needs of the team. And, of course, all the different nuances of college ball have to be factored into the statistics, because statistics are nothing without context.
So, one could argue that his performance could be viewed as better than his stats, because he was forced to work as a starter. Or, one could argue that a lot of college pitchers are frequently used in different roles, so it's not that unusual.
Regardless, scouts are very high on Stewart and he has a tremendous arm. I would have rated him higher, but I tend to rate relievers a bit lower because they work fewer innings. That said, given his arm, he could move very quickly and ultimately pitch high leverage innings at the MLB level. Time will tell.
Anyway, thanks for the comment!!

Thank You for your response. Zach actually beacame the Friday night starter for the last three weeks of the season and became better with each start, actually leaving the game versus Oklahoma State with the lead and beating Baylor. The Reds even considered using him as a starter and asked him which role he would prefer.ReplyDelete
Time will definetly tell.
Hey Anon,ReplyDelete
Thanks for the info. I'm a bit surprised that the Reds asked him which role he would prefer. I assume he chose relief and the Reds honored his wishes. I wonder if he had chosen starting, would the Reds would have put him in the rotation? Most of the baseball pundits assumed that the Reds drafted him to be a reliever in the hopes that he would need very little development time and could be pitching in the majors in the very near future.
As for his time as a Friday night starter, I'm not surprised. I am, however, a bit surprised that he didn't spend MORE time in the rotation at the collegiate level. I knew he got 3 starts for Tech, but given his tremendous arm I would have thought they'd give him a longer look as a starter. I would imagine that they had him pegged as a reliever when he arrived at Tech and by the time they realized just how good he was, it was difficult to stretch him out to start.
It'll be fun to see how Zach fares in 2009. I read a blurb today from a Baseball America writer that said that he could reach the majors in 2009. In the next couple of seasons, he could team with Jared Burton and Josh Roenicke to give the Reds a lights out bullpen for years to come. Given the arms and abilities of those three, it would be a bullpen reminiscent of the Nasty Boys. These guys all have shutdown arms that could shorten games to 6 innings. It seems that whenever the Reds are good they have a tremendous bullpen, so I'm hopeful all these guys pan out.
Thanks for the comment!!!

First of all, your comments on Zach's pitching mechanics in the video of him were totally correct. And,sadly, it was even worse when he pitched out of a stretch. As "Anonymous" pointed out, in the OU game the fist two innings went very well, but in the 3rd inning, after walking the leadoff batter, Zach went to the stretch and the wheels came off from there. Pitching is no different from hitting, when you are mechanically off and no one can point out to you what you are doing wrong. Unfortunately for Zach, none of the coaches at Tech were ex-pitchers and could not see the problem in order to help him.
After the OU game, a pro scout for the Dodgers, Calvin Jones (an ex-pitcher) zeroed in on what was wrong with Zach and, fortunately, came and spoke with me and told me what to tell Zach was wrong. He was leaving the rubber before his hands separated, causing him to be way out in front of his pitching arm, which in turn was flattening out his pitches. He worked on this before his next two starts, which helped his next two outtings considerably. When he got with the Reds, they corrected it even more. By correcting this, it has helped his control problem and has helped the movement on his fastball and slider. And, FYI, he also throws a 3rd pitch, a changeup, which he spent a lot of time in instructional league working on.
Enjoyed the article....thanks for the comments! Zach's dad
Mr Stewart,ReplyDelete
First, I really appreciate you stopping by to provide this information. It's really great to find out a bit more inside information about Zach's transition from the collegiate to the professional level.
I must say, I'm really impressed that Calvin Jones would take the time to offer advice to Zach about the problem he had with his mechanics. It's nice to see a scout take the time to help out a player, even though that player isn't a member of his organization. It gives the impression that there is a larger baseball community where everyone just wants to see the "kids" do well. To me, there's really something pretty cool about that.
As for Texas Tech, I must admit that I'm surprised they didn't have a true pitching coach on staff. I know that college coaching quality and style varies greatly across the country, but I would have thought that a bigger program like Tech would have an experienced pitching coach on staff.
I completely agree with you about mechanics, whether hitting or pitching, as it's very easy to get off track and very difficult to find success when you do. I'm glad to hear that he's getting his mechanics ironed out, because he clearly had one of the best arms in his draft class. If he gets his body back in sync in his delivery, then he could really take off and rocket up the ladder.
Interesting to see him working on a changeup, which is my favorite pitch, as it always seems like the ultimate "pitcher's pitch." It works off deception and upsetting a hitter's timing, rather than any raw ability. If Zach can pair his top notch heater with a quality changeup, then he could be brutally tough on the timing of the hitters. Given his stuff, he really doesn't need a third pitch to be a successful MLB reliever, but it'll only help if he can add another weapon to his arsenal.
Another impressive aspect of your comment is that the Reds identified the problem and continued to work with him to correct it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that always would have been the case.
Back in the 1990s when Marge Schott still ran the team, she decimated the scouting department. To say that she was frugal was an understatement, as she even refused to pay for scouts because "all they ever do is watch baseball games." Given that kind of philosophy, it's not surprising that the Reds scouting and player development departments were terrible for years. Only recently have they begun to climb out of the hole that Marge dug. Over the past several years, the Reds have really focused their efforts on rebuilding a top notch farm system and it has begun to pay off in a big way. It seems from the instruction that Zach is receiving that he is already benefiting from those renewed efforts. In the past, if I was a young pitching prospect, then the Reds organization is about the last place I'd want to be. Thankfully, that's no longer the case, as now it's one of the best.
Anyway, thanks again for the great insight and the kind words, I do appreciate it!! I'll be rooting for Zach to make it to the show and hoping that you get to see it when he does. I can't imagine very much can compete with getting to see your son pitch in a big league game. Anyway, take care and don't be a stranger!!

Mr. Stewart, has Zach heard where he'll be the starting the season at? I'm curious to see if the Reds start him in Double-A or if they send him back to Sarasota.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 24, 2009 at 7:23 PM
Zach has not been told anything about where he will be this season, but his agent met with the Reds at the winter meetings and they told him that their plans were for Zach to start at Double-A unless he was to have a bad spring training. In that case he would start back in Sarasota at high-A.ReplyDelete

Thanks. I appreciate the quick response. Tell Zach we're rooting for him. :)ReplyDelete

There are countless reasons to incorporate fresh produce into your daily diet. From the vitamins and nutrients fruits and vegetables provide to the disease fighting properties they contain, diets that are well-balanced with fresh produce help keep us healthy. However, when shopping for fruits and vegetables, it can be difficult to determine where to buy produce, what factors to consider, and whether the produce you're buying is as healthy as it could be.
If you shop at your local franchise grocery store, you may often be confronted with the choice between purchasing organic or non-organic produce. Non-organic farms are where the majority of standard grocery store produce comes from. Non-organic farming techniques often use chemical fertilizers to promote plant growth, chemical herbicides to control weeds, and chemical pesticides to reduce pests. On the contrary, organic farmers use crop rotation practices, all natural fertilizers, and natural techniques, such as bringing in the proper animal life to control pests. One of the best places to find organic produce is at your local farmers market. Below we've outlined the top five reasons to shop locally at a farmers market:
- Freshness, taste and variety— food sold at local farmers markets is extremely fresh, usually picked within a few days before it is sold. Furthermore, produce that is in-season is easy to come by and oftentimes you can find varieties of produce at the farmer's market that you can't find elsewhere.
- Community— local farmers markets attract a wide variety of people from the community. They are a great place to meet new people that share an interest in healthy living. Meeting the farmers who grow your food is also a bonus.
- Environmental benefits— as we mentioned above, organic farmers value the land they grow on and often take measures to ensure its future prosperity. While not all farmers at the farmers market are organic growers, these local farmers usually own the land they grow on, and hence take an interest in its sustainability.
- Economic benefits— when you shop at local farmers markets you make investments both in your health and the local economy. Additionally, some of the produce can be cheaper than you'd find in the grocery store because the time and overhead of getting it to the selling point is reduced. The money you spend at farmers markets goes to the farmers themselves, who are able to reinvest in their farms to continue providing fresh produce at a reasonable cost.
- Educational benefits— if you ever have a question about produce, crops, weather, and which foods are in season, the farmers market is a great place to go. The farmers welcome questions from patrons about how their produce was grown (i.e. did they use organic techniques?), when it was picked, and can even provide cooking tips. Additionally, if you take your family along with you, it gives your kids a great opportunity to learn about produce and healthy eating. They may even want to pick out a few items of their own!
We hope this information gives you a great reason to check out your local farmers market. If you're interested in locations, we've provided a few of them below:
Morningside Market
1393 N. Highland Avenue
Saturdays from 8 a.m.-11:30 a.m.

Using Accordance to Teach a Bible Study, Part 5
This is the last in a series of posts on using Accordance's Slide Show feature. Part 1 explored how to set up a workspace with separate tabs for each Bible passage you plan to cover. Part 2 showed how to add a map. Part 3 demonstrated how to add a series of images from a resource like the PhotoGuide. Finally, Part 4 showed how to use the Search All window to search your entire library for just the right graphic. Once all the pieces of your slide show are assembled, all that's left to do is to present it. In this post, I'll explain how to do that.
Remember that the Slide Show feature takes every tab in a workspace and turns it into a separate "slide." The one caveat is that the workspace must have a single zone, so while preparing your workspace, you may need to drag the title bar of one zone into the tab area of another, thus combining all the tabs in a single zone. When finished, your workspace should look something like this:
To start the Slide Show, simply select Slide Show from the Window menu, or use the keyboard shortcut command-option-S. Accordance's palettes, search interface, as well as the OS X dock will all be hidden and the current tab's contents expanded to fill the screen. Like this:
A small slideshow control palette will fade in and out as you mouse over its location at the bottom of the screen. This palette includes buttons to go to the first slide, the previous slide, the next slide, or the last slide. The stop button will stop the Slide Show and return Accordance to normal operation. You can also press the escape key on the keyboard to exit the slide show, or use the command-option-S shortcut again.
In addition to these controls, the Slide Show palette also includes a pop-up menu listing the name of every "slide." You can quickly move to the slide you want, no matter where it appears in the sequence, by selecting its name from this menu.
To make it easier to find the slide you want from this menu, it's always helpful when preparing a slide show to rename tabs to reflect their actual content. You can do that by control- or right-clicking the tab and choosing Active Tab Name… from the Set Tab submenu of the contextual menu.
When in Slide Show mode, the Instant Details box will appear whenever you mouse over an item with more information to display. Thus, when showing Bible text, you can mouse over a word in a Key number Bible to show its Greek or Hebrew equivalent. When showing an Atlas map, you can mouse over any point to show its elevation and coordinates. When you move your mouse off of this kind of content, the Instant Details box will once again fade away.
If you haven't used Accordance's slide show mode in a teaching environment, you really should give it a try. While it does not offer the effects and transitions you get with dedicated presentation software like Keynote, it has the advantage of offering dynamic Bible study-related tools in an attractive, full-screen view.
Archived Comments
I've been teaching an expository study of Acts, about a chapter a week -- a study which is a perfect opportunity to use many of the tools that Accordance offers. For the first time, in my prep for chapter 16 this week I applied the techniques you covered and had my lesson all ready to go. When we started the class, though, I forgot to start the slide show mode! Still, I found it smooth to just move from tab to tab and especially to be able to re-search within tabs when necessary -- it worked very well. Thanks for the inspiration to push my Accordance use a little further. It definitely added to the depth of the lesson.
This is a great series, David. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

Kenosha police officer's use of force questioned in Tazer incident
Squad car video of a police suspect being shot with a Tazer is raising some concerns in Kenosha.
The video begins with officers responding to a call of men fighting. The first images show the men near each other, but they separate as an officer approaches.
There is no audio, but within seconds an officer shoots his Tazer at one of the men, who quickly becomes rigid and falls to the ground.
While no one knows what was said at the time, one member of the police and fire commission is concerned that the paperwork doesn't match the events seen in the video.
"When I look at the video, it doesn't match the police reports," said Ronald Frederick.
The report indicates the men were still fighting when officers arrived. However the video does not show that.
Frederick, president of the commission, just learned of a citizen complaint that was filed over the incident. He said he's concerned even though the suspect was not injured in the arrest.
"I have an open mind," he said. "Maybe the guy said something to the officer that he felt threatened. I don't know, but the video doesn't suggest that."
A Kenosha activist also takes issue with the report.
"I think the police report is completely contradictory," said Michael Bell, whose son was killed by Kenosha Police in 2004.
Bell has used money from a settlement with the city to raise awareness of how area police departments investigate themselves.
"I have been saying from day one that this is not a City of Kenosha issue, or a City of Milwaukee issue. This is a Wisconsin issue," he said. "How dare we investigate ourselves."
Police chief John Morrissey spoke to WISN 12 News about the video. He has viewed the video, but cautions that there is likely more to the story than what can be seen on a television screen.
"I think everyone should remember there's more to this incident that the 15 seconds or so of video that's being shown," he said.
WISN 12 News spoke to the man who police used a Tazer on in the video. He was convicted of a misdemeanor count of obstructing an officer, but did not wish to comment on the incident.
The Kenosha Fire and Police Commission will meet Nov. 20 in a closed session to discuss the incident with Morrissey.
The officer involved in the arrest remains on duty with the Kenosha Police Department.

Farmingdale State - 2, Stevens - 1
Hoboken, N.J. - Junior midfielder Sam Johrden (Deer Park, N.Y.) scored the game-winning goal in the 84th minute leading Farmingdale State to a 2-1 non-conference win over Stevens. The Rams now stand at 4-3 on the year, while the Ducks fell to 2-4.
Stevens took an early 1-0 lead on an unassisted goal by freshman midfielder Gabby Mathelier (Pomona, N.Y.) off a free kick from 23 yards out. Farmingdale State answered five minutes later as sophomore forward Ashlee Thompson (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) scored off the feed from freshman midfielder Alexis Caracappa (Wantagh, N.Y.).
With 5:39 remaining, Johrden broke the 1-1 tie as she scored the game-winner from the right corner after being set up by Thompson. The Rams held the Ducks to only one shot the rest of the game en route to the 2-1 victory.
Freshman goalkeeper Ashley Monzillo (Medford, N.Y.) tallied four saves for Farmingdale State.
The Rams next will host Scranton on Saturday, September 21st at 2:00 p.m.

Thanks for voting
Thanks to everyone for pitching in to get Pat Burrell elected to the All-Star Game through the four-day Final Vote online process.
The results just came in: Corey Hart was first, followed by David Wright, Pat, Aaron Rowand and Carlos Lee.
Voting started at 3 p.m. on Sunday and finished at 5 this afternoon.
When the first results were announced on Monday, the order was Hart, Wright, Burrell, Rowand, Lee. That order never changed over four voting updates and the final results. Same for the American League. There it was always Longoria, Dye, Giambi, Roberts and Guillen.
Again, a tip of the cap to Phillies fans for all the work they did.

Apparently you were in a hurry to get away to the beach, Mr. Shenk. You spelled Out in your heading " Time Out" – OTUT!!
Clint Hurdle appears to be not very impressed by the Phillies team his Rockies beat in the playoffs last year. He passed on Burrell, Howard, Hamels and Romero, and last season's NL MVP Jimmy Rollins as all-stars.
Burrell, having a career year, and in his ninth season in the big leagues, with no previous all-star selections, definitely should have gone to the game as Soriano's injury replacement.

As our readers know, we are fresh from a bruising battle with Jim Boyd, assistant editor of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. So John Podhoretz's piece in today's New York Post seems timely to us:
This democratization of the news [through blogs and talk radio] is clearly a good thing, if only because it increases available sources of information in a democracy.
But it isn't a good thing if you're a proud part of an Establishment whose authority is being eroded and whose control of the marketplace is being successfully challenged.

Do you trust Al Gore with your Facebook or Twitter accounts? So far 793,057 users have already donated their social media accounts to his Climate Reality Project.
Gore's Climate Reality Project will take place Sept. 14 around the world at 7 p.m. local time. This means a 24-hour, round-the-clock, live-streamed broadcast in 24 different time zones. "24 Hours of Reality will focus the world's attention on the full truth, scope, scale and impact of the climate crisis. To remove the doubt. Reveal the deniers. And catalyze urgency around an issue that affects every one of us," Gore said on the website.
The request for your Facebook or Twitter account:
U.S. & World
Starting a day before the event (Sept 13 Central Time) you grant us permission to post on your behalf. We will only post content relevant to 24 Hours of Reality and climate change, and we won't post more than a few times an hour. You'll still be able to tweet and use Facebook normally, and you can revoke our access anytime through your Facebook and Twitter settings. After September 15 (CT) we will stop posting any content on your Facebook or Twitter feed and you can revoke our access.
Nearly 800,000 people have donated accounts to the cause and the numbers are likely to go even higher. Having witnessed several people on Facebook donate status updates for causes ranging from suicide to celebrating their love, we don't see this as wildly different.for many already on social media. The only difference is that it allows a third-party to have access to your account for 24 hours (and most allow for than that for social games on Facebook.) Apparently almost 800,000 people trust Gore and his organization won't use the platform to post porn or spammy links.

|Oracle® OLAP DML Reference
11g Release 2 (11.2)
Part Number E17122-05
|View PDF
The SIGNAL command produces a user-defined error message from within a program. When Oracle OLAP executes a SIGNAL statement when TRAP is ON, execution branches to the trap label. Any statements following the trap label in the program are then executed.When the program contains an active trap label, execution branches to the label. Without a trap label, execution of the program terminates and, when the program was called by another program, execution control returns to the calling program.
SIGNAL {errname [message]|STOP}
A TEXT expression that indicates the name of the error message to be produced. When Oracle OLAP executes a SIGNAL statement, it stores the errname in the ERRORNAME option. Normally, the name of the error does not appear in the error message. However, when you omit message, the error name (errname) appears along with a stock message as described in the message argument.
You can use the special name
PRGERR to communicate to a calling program that an error has occurred. The statement
PRGERR sets ERRORNAME to a blank value and passes an error condition to the calling program without causing another error message to be displayed. For a complete explanation of how to use SIGNAL to pass an error up a chain of nested programs, see the TRAP command.
A TEXT expression that specifies the error message to be produced. When you supply a long line as your error message, you must add your own line breaks to format the text. Type the newline escape sequence (\n) where you want each line to end. You can type up to a limit of 6 lines or 4000 characters, whichever you reach first. An error occurs when you try to supply a single line longer than 4000 characters.
When you omit this argument, SIGNAL produces the following message.
ERROR: (errname) Please contact the administrator of your Oracle Oracle OLAP application.
When Oracle OLAP executes a SIGNAL statement, it stores message in the ERRORTEXT option.
Immediately stops execution of all currently running programs. No error message is produced. The error condition is not trapped by an active TRAP label.
Example 10-123 Signaling an Error
Suppose you have written a program that requires one argument. When no argument is supplied, there is no purpose in running the program. Therefore, the first thing the program does is check if an argument has been passed. When it has not, the program terminates after sending an error message to the current outfile.
The following program lines check for the argument and signal an error when it is not found.
IF ARGS EQ '' THEN SIGNAL msg1 'You must supply an argument.'
SIGNAL sends the following message to the current outfile.
ERROR: You must supply an argument.
Example 10-124 Signaling an Error When an Argument Value is Invalid
Suppose your program produces a report that can present from one to nine months of data. You can signal an error when the program is called with an argument value greater than nine. In this example,
nummonths is the name of the argument that must be no greater than nine.
select: TRAP ON error PUSH month LIMIT month TO nummonths IF STATLEN(month) GT 9 THEN SIGNAL toomany - 'You can specify no more than 9 months.' REPORT DOWN district W 6 units finish: POP month RETURN error: POP month IF ERRORNAME EQ 'TOOMANY' THEN SHOW 'No report produced'

Mike Starr, the former Alice in Chains bassist who opened up about his drug problems on season three of "Celebrity Rehab," was found dead in Utah Tuesday, TMZ first confirmed. He was 44.
Cops discovered the late rocker's body Tuesday afternoon at a house in Salt Lake City after receiving a call about a body, Reuters reported. They did not expect foul play.
The medical examiner's office planned to conduct an autopsy on Wednesday, though it could be two months before the results of a toxicology test come in, the wire service added.
U.S. & World
"It's a terrible shock and tragedy," Starr's dad told TMZ.
News of the Hawaii-born musician's death comes nearly nine years after Alice in Chains frontman Layne Stanley was discovered dead of a drug overdose.
Starr was kicked out of the band in 1992 following the release of the grunge outfit's hit album "Dirt." According to Reuters, he may have been the last person to see his former bandmate alive.
In interviews with Dr. Drew Pinsky and on Pinsky's VH1 show "Celebrity Rehab," Starr talked about his guilt over Stanley's death, Reuters reported.
"Devastating to hear of Mike Starr succumbing to his illness," Pinsky tweeted. "So very sad. Our prayers are with his family."
Starr went on to appear on the reality show "Sober House."
Last month, Starr was arrested on felony possession of a controlled substance for prescription painkillers, TMZ reported.

Mitt, the documentary about Willard Mitt Romney's two presidential campaigns, is not so much a campaign movie as it is a home movie. You can tell it's not a campaign movie because in the 90 minutes of behind-the-scenes private moments, none of the main characters utters a single swear word. If it were a political documentary, you'd have to send the kids to the other room. Instead, you should save a space on the couch for them to watch this story of a loving father and his family weathering the abuse of the modern political campaign with faith, good humor, and love.
Another worthy audience for this film would be anyone thinking about running for office. This movie offers a glimpse of what it's like to endure the process, which has the appeal of a terminal illness and many of the similarities. Stress is a constant. Your sons, daughters, and spouse feel the abuse heaped on you more than you do. There's a lot of time spent in waiting rooms, and if you're the one with flagging health—in this case the candidate—you have to stomach everyone around you constantly trying to make you feel better. At the end, if you lose, it's like attending your own funeral, as Romney explains, where you have to walk the long line of people breaking down in front of you as they mourn your loss. If you are a prospective candidate, this film might help you test whether you have that elusive "fire in the belly" that candidates are supposed to have before they put in the order for the hats and the bunting.
We hardly thought Mitt Romney was a brute at home, so the view of him as a good father and husband is not revelatory. You won't be surprised to see that he responds to moments of intense stress by tidying up—cleaning the trash from the hotel balcony before a debate or clearing the stray papers on election night. But the movie is intimate, which is never a word associated with the Romney campaign—or any modern campaign, for that matter. The filmmaker, Greg Whiteley, takes us into the inner sanctum, or the inner Radisson, as the case may be, since so much of campaign life happens on the generic couches of cookie-cutter hotels.
So it's a little bracing when the candidate who tiptoed around his religion blurts out that voters know him as the "flipping Mormon." Or, when Romney, who like all candidates, spent his days pitching himself as the unique solution to America's problems and who never seemed ruffled, shows moments of doubt, suggesting at one point that he was a "flawed candidate." We've read about Barack Obama having these kinds of moments, but we've never had this kind of sustained up-close look at the most covered president in history.
It's also one thing to hear a son say he believes in his dad, as all the Romney boys did in their media interviews, but it's another to watch Tagg Romney tear up as he tries to convince his father to run for president in the movie's opening scene. "If you don't win, we'll still love you," he says. "The country may think of you as a laughingstock, and we'll know the truth, and that's OK. But I think you have a duty to your country and to God to see what comes of it." Or, to watch Romney explain to his sons why his own father was the "real deal," while he merely achieved what he did because he was given a good start. When Romney realizes he has lost, his first questions are to his sons: He wants to know whether his loss will mess up their lives in any way.
We all knew about Romney's faith, but seeing the family praying on their knees feels almost like an intrusion. The scenes between the candidate and his wife also ratify what we were told about their relationship during the campaign, but when she sits on his lap or gives him last-minute advice before a debate, the sweetness of their union fills out. This is a pretty all-boys movie—Mitt Romney, the ghost of George Romney, and the Romney sons create a special male dynamic—but Ann Romney is no smiling ornament. She is, in a way, the emotional center of this private world.
Seeing Romney's faith—perhaps the most guarded aspect of the man—reminds us just how thick the nonsense was from people like Pastor Robert Jeffress who claimed that Romney wasn't a "real Christian." The candidate ends his prayers with a special appeal "in the name of Jesus Christ," and before a debate he draws a sun on his cheat sheet to remind him of a New Testament passage. For any Christian, this portrait is perhaps the best model of sustained, private faith from a politician we've ever seen—distinct from the showy speeches and empty moralizing to interest groups we've grown accustomed to. This is a view of a man and a family where faith is as much a part of their lives as the strong chins and resilient hair.
To give us this personal view, the filmmaker leaves out a lot. We see Romney sleeping on the floor of his plane, but we don't see much about Romney's inner policy convictions, except for a few brief moments where he talks about the burdens of regulations—a private monologue not that different from his stump speech. There's no rebalancing scene aimed at rebutting Romney's remarks about the 47 percent who don't support him. Huge portions of the campaign go uncovered—the entire 2012 nominating process, for example—and the larger campaign operation—the aides, the strategy maps, the tactics—is almost entirely absent. And as appealing a family movie as this may be, there are no fights, squabbles, or inner-family tension that must have occurred at some point. For this to be a complete portrait, it could have used some moments of grist. Surely the Romney clan had spats, which would have made all that hugging and love even more impressive. Since we never see those moments, the family sometimes appears like a living room in a Restoration Hardware catalog—too perfect for any actual human interaction.
The film does not make the case for a Romney presidency either. Just because he's a great family man doesn't mean he should be president. Otherwise, those qualities would be enough to get Romney's fans to like President Obama, who is, by all accounts, just as devoted to his family. If these vignettes had come out during the campaign, perhaps in an effort to make the candidate more "likeable," it would not have changed the outcome—indeed, it probably would have only opened the candidate and his family to the witless ridicule that is a part of the modern campaign. That Romney protected his family space as much as he did is a testament to him as a father, something we now understand better after seeing this film.

They all liked this more than Christmas day. Imagine , 7 munchinks cacscading from the van , gps in hand, dashing for the cache. Each helped the other, and even Monica , our three yo found one..with a tiny modicum of help . Nicholas and Thomas have the eyes of eagles . I carried a back pack filled with trade items . I was amazed at their selections ; it teaches you a lot . All the kids shared in and were thrilled with our adventure. I found an indian buffalo skinning knife in pristine condition. It looks a great deal like an inuet awl and is amazingly sharp . I had seen only one of these knives previously at a display in Montana . The kids were unimpressed but loved the trinkets in the caches. What made this REALLY special ? We were to leave on Tuesday . Monday night , while declaring our intentions before saying the rosary together , Thomas prayed '' dear God , let there be a snowstorm tonight so Poppy cant leave ''. We stayed until Thursday .

In theory, everyone in Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix should be focusing on the big race in just a few hours. In reality, the many German (and occasional Portuguese) team members in town for the race are actually watching the European Championship. This includes F1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel.
Our own Raphael Orlove is in Montreal partying with Red Bull (more on that later) and he noticed that, amongst the many chain-smoking Germans, Vettel also made sure to find a television to catch Schweinsteiger bust some heads.
This reminds us of the time in '86 when a young Ayrton Senna skipped out on a press conference at the Detroit Grand Prix to watch Brazil in the World Cup.

Zoning in on the number of ingredients in packaged foods is one of the stupidest consumer driven trends to date. Fueled by the unsubstantiated fear of anything not immediately recognizable or easy to pronounce, companies are turning to "fewer ingredients" to make their food stand out on over-crowded store shelves. Short, recognizable ingredient lists are leading packaged food trends in 2016 yet the number of ingredients or your ability to pronounce an ingredient has absolutely nothing to do with the nutrition value of the food and therefore shouldn't guide your buying decisions.
The # of Ingredients Has Nothing to do with Nutrition Value
Shorter ingredient lists do not mean a food or beverage is better for you. Companies that make chips, ice cream and other dessert items are among the fiercest competitors for simplifying ingredient lists. According to an article in the Huffington Post, Hershey Co. improved their classic chocolate syrup by cutting the list to 5 simple ingredients. The new version took food scientists a year and a half to make with recognizable ingredients. The challenge? Making a syrup that also tastes good. The new version with cane sugar and organic invert cane syrup instead of high fructose corn syrup will cost you 1 more gram of sugar than the original version. How does this make it nutritionally superior to the old version?
Here's another example. Let's say you are in the grocery store debating between protein choices for dinner. Do you pick up the omega-3 and protein-packed (23 grams for 190 calories) salmon or beef franks (15 grams protein for 190 calories and 3x the saturated fat). I hope you choose the salmon if you are choosing based on nutrition value.
I found many similar examples in the grocery store including potato chips with just a few ingredients compared to whole grain, higher fiber crackers with three times the ingredients and Häagen-Dazs ice cream with five ingredients, 250 calories and almost 5 grams of sugar per ½ cup compared to Giant brand ice cream with more than twice the number of ingredients, 160 calories and less than 3 grams of sugar per ½ cup. If you are choosing your dessert not based on taste but instead based on the nutritionally superior option (because that's why people are focusing on the total number of ingredients right?), you'll pick up the Giant brand with more ingredients.
Just Because You Don't Recognize it and Can't Pronounce it Doesn't Mean it is Bad
Head over to Cooking Light or any other well-recognized cooking magazine and I'm willing to bet you'll find ingredients that you don't recognize and can't pronounce. I live in the world of food, nutrition and supplements and restaurant menus often stump me while the sheer number of unfamiliar spices in Penzeys Spices satisfies my creative desire for something new and unique. Just because an ingredient is unfamiliar to you does not automatically make it bad. After all you're probably not a food scientist entrenched in the world of food development and food safety.
Some misunderstood ingredients are emulsifiers – they help ingredients stay together in a mixture vs. separating (for example, salad dressings often contain emulsifiers including lecithin), others add nutrition value, help products retain their color, prolong shelf life or keep the product safe. Pyridoxine hydrochloride sounds scary right? It's a vitamin B6. Cyanocobalamin? That's vitamin B12. Beta-glucan? Oat and barley beta-glucan are soluble fibers sometimes added to food to increase the fiber content. They also help you feel more full (satiated) and are fantastic for your immune system. Lupin kernel fiber – lupin is a legume. In other words, it's good for you. All substances allowed in food in the U.S. are GRAS – Generally Recognized as Safe by the Food and Drug Administration.
Even though manufacturers are scurrying to chop down their ingredient lists to meet this silly consumer demand, focusing on the number of ingredients in a food isn't worth your time or attention span. If you don't order food in a restaurant based on the number of ingredients used in the recipe why would you choose foods in the grocery store based on the total number of ingredients? In addition, don't be scared of any ingredient with a sprinkling of scientific reasoning behind its use.

The 2011 Chevrolet Equinox comes with more standard equipment than the 2010, but it is otherwise identical. Some people believe the second year of production is the sweet spot because they've ironed out all the bugs but it's still new.
The Equinox has pricing and features of a compact SUV, but it's a little larger, and closer in size to a midsize SUV. And the Equinox comes with luxury and technology amenities not expected in its price class. In short, it's a good value.
Equinox offers a choice of four-cylinder or V6 engines. The standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder uses direct injection for more power and better fuel economy. A front-wheel-drive Equinox gets an EPA-estimated 22/32 mpg City/Highway. Lots of sound insulation makes it quieter than most four-cylinders and we think it's a capable engine. The available 3.0-liter V6 is rated at 264 horsepower and 222 pound-feet of torque, but we didn't think it felt much more powerful than the four-cylinder. So we recommend the standard 2.4-liter engine. The V6 does offer Flex-Fuel capability for 2011, however, if ethanol is your preferred fuel.
The current Equinox handles better than its predecessor, and ride quality is quite good. It is more carlike than the pre-2010 models, with less lean in turns. It's not sporty, but it's on par with its main competitors, including the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. We found that the Equinox absorbs even sharp bumps without disrupting passenger comfort with either the standard 17-inch or available 18-inch wheels.
Inside, the Equinox has an attractively designed interior. There are some nice amenities, including ice blue ambient lighting, dual-zone automatic climate control, a hard-drive audio system, a dual-screen rear DVD entertainment system, and a power rear liftgate. The interior materials look and feel like hard plastic, though.
Equinox offers plenty of space for passengers and cargo. The front seats are comfortable and supportive, and they have 10 inches of travel, so drivers of all sizes will fit. The useful MultiFlex rear seat offers eight inches of travel, so tall passengers can ride in back or the driver can push the rear seat forward to carry more cargo.
Its roomy cabin and reasonable pricing make the Chevrolet Equinox attractive, and buyers can get some nice amenities they wouldn't expect in this price range. While the last model's handling was too sloppy for many, that problem has been remedied, making the Equinox a compelling choice in the entry crossover SUV market.
The 2011 Chevrolet Equinox LS 2WD ($22,745) and LS AWD ($24,495) come with cloth upholstery; air conditioning; cruise control; tilt/telescoping steering column; AM/FM/CD/MP3 stereo; auxiliary input jack; XM satellite radio; power windows, locks and mirrors; remote keyless entry; four-way power driver's seat; 60/40 split-folding rear seat; floor mats; driver information center (which now includes a compass); six months of the OnStar Directions and Connections plan; and P225/65R17 tires on painted alloy wheels.
Equinox LT 2WD ($23,910) and LT AWD ($25,660) get upgraded cloth upholstery, deep-tinted privacy glass, heated mirrors and a roof rack. New for 2011 are Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls.
The 2LT ($25,970) and 2LT AWD ($27,720) get automatic climate control, eight-way power driver's seat, heated front seats, 250-watt Pioneer audio system, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with a rearview camera display, remote engine starting, and fog lights.
Equinox LTZ ($28,320) and LTZ AWD ($30,070) add leather upholstery, a rear cargo cover, cargo net, roof rack cross bars, memory for the driver's seat and mirrors, heated front seats, rear park assist, automatic headlights, power rear liftgate and chrome exterior trim.
Options include the V6 ($1,500); a Cargo Management System ($245) with a rear tonneau cover, a cargo net and roof rail crossbars; a Trailering package ($350) with a 4-pin wire harness and a trailer hitch receiver; a Bluetooth Package ($225) with Bluetooth connectivity and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with additional controls; power rear liftgate ($495); sunroof ($795); rear park assist ($195); Driver Confidence Package ($845) with remote starter, eight-way power driver's seat, and rearview camera; leather seats ($800); 18-inch alloy wheels with P235/55R18 tires ($250); and 19-inch wheels. The available navigation system has voice recognition and comes with a 40-gigabyte hard-drive, premium speakers and a USB port ($2,145). The rear DVD entertainment system comes with a screen in the back of each front seat and the USB port ($1,295). The availability of many options depends on trim level and other options, so see your dealer for details.
Safety equipment includes dual threshold front airbags, curtain side airbags, front side airbags, a tire-pressure monitor, anti-lock brakes with brake assist, hill start assist, traction control, and GM's StabiliTrak electronic stability control. A rearview camera and rear park assist are optional, and we recommend them. All-wheel drive enhances stability in slippery conditions.
Walk Around
The Chevrolet Equinox is priced and equipped to compete with compact SUVs but it's larger than compact, smaller than midsize. Equinox uses the same Theta architecture that underpins the GMC Terrain. Theta has been updated since the first-generation Equinox, and that's a good thing because the old model didn't handle very well.
Up front, Equinox features Chevrolet's signature two-tier grille with gold bowtie insignia. The headlights wrap around the front fenders. Air ducts sit below the headlights and house fog lights in chromed bezels that bisect the openings. The lower front fascia is charcoal-colored plastic and it has an air dam in the center. The LTZ model and the 2LT with the Chrome Appearance Package add metallic trim pieces to the lower portion of the air dam opening. The hood has three character lines. The hood is shorter than that of pre-2010 models because Chevrolet moved the base of the windshield forward three inches, creating a more slippery shape. The Equinox has a 0.36 coefficient of drag.
Around the sides, the Equinox has pronounced fender flares and a wheels-at-the-corners stance, especially up front. The roof features wraparound side glass at the rear and tinted rear and rear side windows. All but the Equinox LS model has luggage side rails; they're charcoal on Equinox LT models and they add chrome inserts on the Equinox LTZ and the Equinox 2LT with the Chrome Appearance Package. That package also adds chrome door handles and side mirrors. Seventeen-inch aluminum wheels are standard and 18- and 19-inch wheels are available.
At the rear, the Equinox has dual round taillights, a takeoff of the Malibu design, and a roof spoiler. The tailgate opens upward, and a class-exclusive power, programmable tailgate is offered. Owners can program the tailgate to open to different heights so shorter drivers can reach it. Overall, the look is attractive. The LTZ's additional chrome trim adds a touch of class, especially with the chromed 19-inch wheels.
Chevrolet says the Equinox interior was inspired by the interior of the successful Malibu midsize sedan. While that may be true when it comes to aesthetics, it's not true in terms of execution. The Equinox lacks the Malibu's soft-touch surfaces and thoughtful flourishes of chrome trim. Instead, like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V that Chevrolet benchmarked when developing this vehicle, the Equinox has hard plastic on the entirety of the dashboard, as well as on the center console and door panels. Elements of the Malibu's attractive double-cockpit design are there, but we'd like to see more soft-touch surfaces, tighter gaps and some wood, aluminum or chrome trim.
There are some nice touches. The ice blue ambient lighting is a delightful feature. It's standard on all models, but you get more as you go up the range. Equinox LS models have it on the center stack surround and in the center console cupholders. Equinox LT models add it on the instrument panel and center console, and the Equinox LTZ gets it in the door handle recesses, in the footwells and in the door map pockets. Equinox offers dual-zone automatic climate control, a hard-drive audio system and a dual-screen rear DVD entertainment system.
The instrument panel is attractive. The speedometer and tachometer feature white numbers and black backgrounds. They are set in large pods and in between are water temperature and fuel gauges, as well as a digital trip computer readout. The base interior has a storage cubby at the top of the center stack. When the navigation system is ordered, it sits in this spot. The controls on the center stack are grouped in a tight bunch, with the radio buttons up top and the climate controls at the bottom. With the navigation system, there are 43 buttons, dials and knobs. It's a bit less confusing without the navigation system, but it's going to take some getting used to. All of the controls are easy to reach, and the area is trimmed in a good-looking clear-coated silver-painted plastic.
Space is not a problem in the Equinox. Cloth or leather, the front seats are comfortable and supportive. GM obviously spent some money here. They are especially attractive in leather, with their two-tone coloring and contrast stitching. The front seats have 10 inches of travel and the steering wheel tilts and telescopes, so everyone from the very short to the very tall will be comfortable.
The rear seat continues with the useful MultiFlex system, which includes a reclining feature and eight inches of travel fore and aft. With the rear seat all the way back, a tall rider can fit behind a tall driver. When the rear seat is pushed fully forward, rear cargo capacity is 31.4 cubic feet. The rear seat is also split 60/40 and it folds to open up a total of 63.7 cubic feet of cargo space. The load floor is fairly flat.
Driving Impressions
Anyone who avoided the first-generation Equinox due to its cumbersome handling characteristics no longer has to worry about that problem. The Equinox is now more carlike. The copious body lean is gone and passengers can ride in comfort without their heads being tossed side to side with every flick of the steering wheel. The steering is light and somewhat numb, and the brakes are easy to modulate, but the new Equinox is every bit as good as a Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4 in terms of handling.
It rides well, too. With the standard 17-inch wheels, the Equinox absorbs even sharp bumps without disrupting passenger comfort. The available 18-inch wheels also provided a comfortable ride on rough Southeast Michigan streets. Our only complaint was a bit of body drumming over washboard surfaces.
The 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine benefits from direct fuel injection, which improves both power and fuel economy. It provides usable power from a stop and on the highway, and it even offers decent passing punch. Chevrolet quotes a 0-60 mph time of 8.6 seconds for a front-wheel drive model, which is respectable for a four-cylinder-powered vehicle of this size. The 2.4-liter engine is rated at 182 horsepower at 6700 rpm and 172 pound-feet of torque at 4900 rpm.
Fuel economy for the 2.4-liter four-cylinder is an EPA-rated 22/32 mpg City/Highway on an Equinox with front-wheel drive. That's class-leading fuel economy. Not even the smaller RAV4 or CR-V can match the Equinox's 32 mpg Highway figure. And thanks to plenty of sound-deadening material and acoustic glass in the windshield and front windows, the 2.4-liter is smoother and quieter than most four-cylinder engines.
The 3.0-liter V6 is rated at 264 hp at 6950 rpm and 222 pound-feet of torque at 5100 rpm. Fuel economy is an government-rated 17/25 City/Highway mpg with front drive. With the V6, the Equinox has a towing capacity of 3500 pounds.
We found the 3.0-liter V6 didn't feel that much stronger than the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. Chevy says a front-drive Equinox with the V6 can accelerate to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds. That's less than a second quicker than the four-cylinder, which is significant but not life altering. We think the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is the right choice and the best value.
The Chevrolet Equinox is sized like a midsize and priced like a compact. Equinox offers useful interior space for people and cargo, as well as class-leading fuel economy. It looks good, has a smooth, comfortable ride, and now handles much better than its predecessor. Small families looking to downsize from a large, inefficient SUV will find the Equinox a good value. Completely redesigned for 2010, today's Equinox is a vast improvement over the first-generation models.

Whether or not it's willingly or unwillingly, users who want to use Google services will have it connected back to a public Google+ profile.
This means that if you use Gmail, YouTube or Zagat, you will have a public Google+ page publicizing it, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Google+ is Google's social network and a Facebook rival, and the search titan is looking to gain more advertising dollars.
U.S. & World
Apparently chief executive Larry Page is behind the shift and wanted aggressive growth, according to the report. The integration across several Google properties would mean that Google would have an amazing amount of information and be able to target users with relevant ads.
"(Google is) trying too hard to compete with Facebook, and if people aren't going to share willingly, they'll make them share unwillingly," Sam Ford, a Google+ user told the WSJ.

With the ever-growing business, J Brand then launched a Ready-to-Wear collection in spring 2012 consisting of premium fabrics mixed with simple jerseys that go hand in hand with their minimalistic attention to detail. Creative Director Donald Oliver creates each and every piece of the Ready-to-Wear collection thinking about denim.
"We wanted the collection to feel subtly sophisticated, a modern-day approach to our J Brand woman's wardrobe,†Oliver says. Wanting to maintain their emphasis on denim, the design team focuses the collection on staple pieces. For instance, the Ready-to-Wear collection encompasses all types of garments that can be used liberally through a wardrobe.
Keeping in mind the J Brand woman can dress everything back to her skinny jeans, Oliver reworks classic silhouettes and fabrics for the Ready-to-Wear collection. He says, "It sounds like a repeated message, but it all starts with the fabric.†Little changes were made to classic skinny jeans and luxurious leather was used to construct jogging pants.
J Brand Ready-to-Wear is not the norm. While the prices are more expensive, you won't find once-in-a-lifetime pieces here. Customers will be able to wear each piece over and over again until the next collection is released, of course.
Celebrities who have been pictured wearing J Brand Ready-to-Wear include Jaime King, Minka Kelly, Kate Beckinsale and more. J Brand Ready-to-Wear has been featured in fashion outlets like Glamour, Elle, Style.com, WWD, StyleCaster, New York Magazine and countless more!

Get your buckets of blood ready, Castle fans!
On Monday's new episode, Castle (Nathan FIllion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) investigate the murder of a high school mean girl at a private school. However, during the course of the investigation, a giddy Castle begins to believe the murderer has telekinetic powers. In other words, Castle believes he and Beckett are dealing with a real-life Carrie situation!
Castle boss talks Beckett's "Cold Feet" and the new wedding dateDampening Castle's spirits, however, is the fact that the murder took place at one of the private schools Castle was kicked out of as a kid. And it gets worse from there. "He has to go back and revisit his history in a really fun way," creator Andrew W. Marlowe tells TVGuide.com of the episode. "Unbeknownst to him, his nemesis, the crotchety principal, is still running the school, so some great humor comes out of that."As you can see in the exclusive sneak-peek video below, Principal Duncan ( Lost and Justified star Sam Anderson) doesn't have many fond memories of Castle either. In fact, Duncan is so unimpressed with Castle's career ("You're a writer... of sorts," he snipes), he refuses him to call him by his now-famous pen name.Could the embarrassment of the murder in Duncan's hallowed halls give Castle some leverage over Duncan? Check out the clip below to find out.Castle airs Mondays at 10/9c on ABC.

Passengers Learn They're Transporting Fallen Soldier During Heart-Wrenching Flight
Passengers on a flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles last month found themselves involved a moving moment when they learned a fallen soldier was being transported with them.
Shortly before landing, the pilot got on the loudspeaker to say a fallen soldier was indeed on the plane. He asked all passengers to remain in their seats so that the military escort onboard could get off first after landing.
After the plane touched down, passengers saw a water canon salute in the soldier's memory.
Once the plane's door opened, a military official came on and explained what happened:
It is a sworn oath to bring home, to the family, the fallen. Today you all did that, you are all escorts, escorts of the heart."
After the passengers deplaned, several of them moved towards a window in the terminal to watch as the coffin, covered in an American flag, was removed from the aircraft, in what was surely a touching scene.

Sorry this is getting up later than normal, but here is Wednesday's minor league recap.
The AZL Cubs pick up where they left off beating the Dodgers 5-2. Paul Blackburn started and pitched two innings giving up two unearned runs on four hits, while striking out two. Chad Martin got his first win of the season pitching two scoreless innings. Dillon Maples then went to the mound and struck out three in his two innings of scoreless baseball. Corbin Hoffner then pitched two scoreless followed by Ryan Hartman notching his second save of the season. Offensively Davie Bote had a really nice game going 3-for-3 with two doubles and two RBIs. Treveor Gretzky was 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI. Shawon Dunston also added two hit, including a triple and he drove in a run. Albert Almora had a hit and an RBI, his seventh of the season.
Another night and another win for Boise beating Everett 8-6. Dan Vogelbach hit another home run, this one a two-run shot. Rock Shoulders also hit a home run, his was a grand slam. Jeimer Candelario had a hit and an RBI of his own. Wilson Contreras was the only Hawks player to have a multi-hit game ending the night 2-for-4. Gioskar Amaya only had one hit, but did score three runs. Jose Arias pitched good enough to get the win, but did allow three runs on four hits while striking out six. Hayden Simpson pitched three innings allowing three runs, but struck out four and Eduardo Orozco preserved the lead notching his third save pitching a scoreless ninth.
Peoria gave up four in the eighth and one in the ninth to put the game into extra innings. It took until the 14th when the Chiefs put up two, Burlington came right back and scored three and won the game 9-8. Timothy Saunders went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBIs, and two stolen bases. Paul Hoilman also had two hits, including a home run and two RBIs. Dustin Geiger added two hits and three RBIs and Zeke DeVoss went 3-for-7 with two runs scored and a stolen base. Yao-Lin Wang got the start and pitched outstanding going six strong innings. he allowed only one run on three hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter. Luis Liria and Austin Reed both struggled combining to allow five runs in three innings. Sheldon McDonald pitched three nice innings, but Pete Levitt took the loss allowing all three runs in the 14th. It really should have never gotten to extra innings, but then to take a lead there and still lose is a tough pill to swallow.
Daytona was postponed due to rain.
Huntsville scored three in the first and three more in the third and never looked back beating Tennessee 7-2. Junior Lake was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI, he is now hitting .288. Matt Szczur went 1-for-5 with a triple and an RBI. In really good new Jae-Hoon Ha was back on the field for the first time since his scary collision with an unpadded wall that led to a concussion. He ended the night 1-for-4. Dallas Beeler started and took the loss giving up six runs, five earned in the just three innings pitched. Casey Harman pitched three nice innings allowing only one run on three hits and striking out two. Casey Weathers, Tony Zych, and Frank Batista combined to pitch the last three scoreless innings. It was really nice to see Ha back on the field, hope he can stay there the rest of the way.
The game was tied at one going to the extra innings, but Reno scored four in the 10th and beat Iowa 5-1. Ryan Rowland-Smith got the start and pitched beautifully allowing one run on only two hits in six innings of work. Blake Parker continues hit rehab pitching one scoreless inning. Jay Jackson pitched two good innings, but struggled in the 10th allowing four runs in taking the loss. Greg Rohan did not have a hit, but drove in the lone Cubs run. Dave Sappelt was 1-for-4 with a double and Matt Tolbert was the only Cubs player with a multi-hit game going 2-for-2 with a double of his own.
Thanks for Reading,
