Tamara Gurney Of Mission Valley Bank - A Santa Clarita Unsung Hero
Single Mom Who Became a Community Bank CEO Gives Back, Personally and Professionally
Tamara Gurney, the latest KHTS Santa Clarita Unsung Hero presented by Mercedes-Benz of Valencia, is a single mom who has built Mission Valley Bank into a thriving $250-million a year business over the past dozen years as its founding president and CEO.
At the same time, Gurney has applied her three-plus decades of community banking knowledge and a community-minded business philosophy to work in leadership roles on the boards of nonprofit organizations that benefit schools, hospitals, children and veterans.
And she will be the first to tell you she has a lot of help from employees at the Sun Valley-based bank's two Santa Clarita branches and other associates and friends who share her dedication to helping others in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys.
Tamara Gurney Says Helping Others is a 'Team Effort'
"It's really a whole team effort," Gurney told KHTS air personality Jason Endicott in an on-air interview June 3. "Everyone in the bank chips in any way they can, and there's always going to be a group of Mission Valley folks at all the big fundraisers, doing what they can. … Being a community bank, we're just like every small business on the corner. It's just good practice, and it's our responsibility to be a good corporate citizen."

Doing the right thing and crediting others: classic earmarks of an Unsung Hero.
But she is not entirely unsung. Gurney's leadership by example and her "relationship banking" approach to clients and community have earned respect and accolades from all sides, in the SCV and beyond.
The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Valley Industry Association and the SCV Economic Development Corporation all named Gurney 2012 "Leader of the Year" in the trade organizations' first jointly sponsored "Leadership Awards." She is on the SCVEDC's executive board as well.
The San Fernando Valley Business Journal named Gurney "Most Trusted Advisor" and gave her the "Trail Blazer Award" in 2011.
And statewide, her peers elected her president of the California Independent Bankers board of directors for 2013, citing her leadership and success as a community banker.
Gurney also serves on the boards of half a dozen more nonprofit organizations. They include the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clarita Valley, the College of the Canyons Foundation, the Valley Economic Alliance, BizFed, the Southland Opera and the SFV Community Foundation. She's also an advisory board member of the YMCA of the Santa Clarita Valley
In recent years, Gurney served for four years on the board of directors at Providence-Holy Cross Medical Center in Mission Hills. As head of the financial committee, she played a key role in raising funds for the hospital's tower expansion, which opened in 2012.
Combined, Tamara Gurney's professional and personal efforts make a positive difference for people in many different walks of life, from special-needs kids and at-risk students, from young entrepreneurs to hospital patients and veterans.
That ROI, or return on investment, is a sense of fulfillment that is priceless, and every bit as important as the ROI on the bank's investments.
From Single Mom to Banking Executive
As Gurney told Endicott, she didn't intend to get into banking as a career. It just happened.
In 1980, the mother of two young children became a single parent.
"I needed a job," Gurney said. "I had two boys I needed to feed, and the entry-level positions, not having any career experience, were in clerical positions – most of them, interestingly enough, in banking.
"So, went to work at Bank of America downtown in their headquarters office, and from there, I worked for community banks … and ultimately found my way to one that was headquartered in the San Fernando Valley." she said.
On her way up the corporate ladder, Gurney earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix, and later was an Honors Graduate of the University of Wisconsin's School for Bank Administration in Community Bank Management.
By August 1999, after starting nearly at the bottom two decades earlier, Gurney was executive vice president and chief operating officer at American Pacific State Bank.
After that community bank changed ownership, she took her next logical step: founding a new bank.
Gurney assembled a group of respected community bankers and local business people who raised slightly more than $6 million in startup capital. They formed Mission Valley Bancorp and opened the home office in Sun Valley in July 2001. Under her leadership, the bank broke even in 11 months, and was fully profitable in less than two and a half years.
Mission Valley Bank opened its second and third branches in Santa Clarita in 2004 (Valencia) and 2009 (Centre Pointe) and most recently expanded its SBA Lending Division in Irvine. Today the bank serves more than 3,000 clients throughout Southern California, and in May reported nearly a 200 percent increase in net income for the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.
"I had a great deal of knowledge of (Santa Clarita), having lived here as a younger adult many years ago out near Sand Canyon with my family, but also, my previous bank had branches out here," Gurney said. "So, I was familiar with the area, and there was an opportunity at that time. Many of my staff live here, so it also was a good opportunity to have people work close to home."
COC Scholarships for SCV Homes for Heroes Veterans
Though reluctant to spotlight any particular group she works with, because she is passionate about all of them, Gurney mentioned College of the Canyons ("a huge resource for this valley") and helping military veterans in her role as a member of COC's scholarship committee.
"We are focusing on (granting scholarships to) veterans because there will be so many returning," she said. "Likewise, you see (SCV Habitat) for Heroes, affiliated with Habitat for Humanity. Great, we want to help (veterans) get into a home, but they need to keep the home, so they need to transition into society and have a skill so they can earn an income to protect that investment and grow in the community."
That sounds like what Gurney has done in her life, and continues to do, at Mission Valley Bank: invest and grow in the Santa Clarita Valley.
"Being a community bank, we're just like every small business on the corner. It's just good practice, and it's our responsibility to be a good corporate citizen," she said.
"While many of the large money-centered banks have big budgets where they can write a big check to a charity or give funds — we do give funds, we're limited in that capacity, but we can give ourselves," she said. "So, as people who live and work in the community, we also volunteer our time."

Recently, someone donated an entire TS-820 station to our Ham Radio at the Hands-On Museum project. The equipment included a fully decked-out TS-820, plus a lot of other stuff from that era (the late 1970s), including a Heathkit code practice oscillator, a Handbook, and other assorted books and materials.
I'd looked through this stuff before, but somehow I'd overlooked the Heathkit Amateur Radio Log. Here are a couple of scans I made:
Kinda cool, isn't it? I'd never seen one of these before.

I do not enjoy the adverts "disguised" as posts on my dash.

After spending several years pursuing her dreams in professional wrestling, Houston resident Brooke Adams visited "FOX 26 Morning News Extra" as the reigning TNA Impact Wrestling Knockouts champion.
Adams, known best in TNA Impact Wrestling as Miss Tessmacher, defeated Gail Kim for the championship in a match that took place at the Slammiversary pay-per-view event on June 10 in Arlington, Texas.
"This was probably the biggest moment in my entire career; really, a remarkable moment," described Adams to FOX 26 News. "I'm a Texas girl at heart and I kind of represent the Texas flag when I walk out, so to win in Texas, I can't even explain it, the emotion and the feeling I was feeling."
Adams credited her wrestling training in the Houston area for her success in the ring. She also recognized her manager Paul Cook and TNA Impact Wrestling tag team partner Tara for their contributions to her career.
Since moving from St. Louis when she was an elementary school student, Adams has called Houston her home.
"I'm a Texas girl at heart, I don't plan on leaving," said Adams. She is also a busy fitness model and is featured on the cover of the June 2012 issue of Barstool Magazine. The cover photo, shot by Houston photographer John Tran, also features renowned ice sculptor Reverend Butter.
The TNA IMPACT WRESTLING World Tour arrives in Houston on Saturday, June 16 at the Bayou Music Center. Adams will be among the superstars appearing at the event along with a meet and greet opportunity at 5:30 p.m. for fans that purchase a $50 ticket.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Nourishing Your Skin..
The skin is the outer reflection of your inner health. Moist, clear, glowing skin is a sign of good diet, while dry, pale, scaly or oily skin may result when diet is not up to par. Fortunately, the eating habits that work best for staying healthy are also the next best thing to a fountain of youth for our skin.
Skin Tonics
Just about every nutrient has a role in maintaining healthy skin. Vitamin C helps build collagen, the "scaffolding" between the tissues of our body. Poor intake of this vitamin can cause bruising, loss of skin strength and elasticity, and poor healing of cuts and scrapes. Just one daily glass of orange juice or a bowl of strawberries supplies all the vitamin C you need. Healthy skin also needs the B vitamins found in whole grains, milk and wheat germ to help speed wound healing and prevent dry, flaky or oily skin. Vitamin A in dark orange or green vegetables and fruits, egg yokes, and liver, maintains epithelial tissues such as skin, thus helping to prevent premature wrinkling or bumpy, sandpaper-like skin. Vitamin D in milk might help curb symptoms of psoriasis. Zinc in meat, seafood, and legumes aids in the healing of cuts and scrapes. Water keeps the skin moist and regulates normal function of the oil glands. The list of nutrients that benefit the skin is almost endless.
Good Oxygen Supply
Your skin needs a constant supply of water and oxygen. But that doesn't mean standing in the air and taking a shower. Rather, these nutrients need to be supplied through blood. A healthy blood supply provides other nutrients as well and removes waste products. It takes an ample amount of many nutrients to build and maintain healthy red blood cells and other blood factors. Those nutrients include protein, iron and copper, plus folic acid, other B vitamins, and vitamins C and E. A deficiency of any of these, especially iron, reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, suffocating the skin and leaving it pale and drawn.
Fats for the Skin
Some nutrients directly affect the health of your skin. Repairing damaged skin requires protein, zinc, and vitamins A, C, and K. Linoleic acid is a fat in vegetable oils that helps restore damaged skin and maintain smooth, moist skin. On the other hand, a high-fat diet might increase the risk for developing skin cancer. Despite these seemingly contradictory findings, the solution is simple: Consume an overall low-fat diet and follow the guidelines below.
Antioxidants: Anti-Aging and Anti-Cancer
Much of the so-called aging of the skin is really a result of long-term exposure to sun, tobacco smoke, and ozone. Environmental pollutants generate highly damaging oxygen fragments, called free radicals, that erode skin much like water rusts metal. Free radicals also damage collagen, the protein latticework that maintains the skin's firmness and suppleness. The result is a condition called photoaging, which includes dryness, loss of elasticity, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Free radicals generated by sun exposure also damage the genetic structure of skin cells, which contributes to the development of cancer. Antioxidant nutrients, including vitamins C and E and beta carotene, show promise in slowing the rate of free-radical damage to the skin. People who consume five or more antioxidant-rich foods -- spinach, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, cantaloupe, grapefruit, carrots -- stockpile these health-enhancing nutrients in their tissues and develop fewer skin cancers. Of course, the antioxidants are effective only if you combine this healthful diet with other risk-control habits, such as using sunscreen lotions.

What theological implications does the "Psychology" and "Neuroscience" (and possibly biology) of religion (or "God(s)") have?
I'm very interested in people's opinions on this matter.
I would just like to say, as I have said in the past, this debate is not to make mockery of "God". It is just honesty enquiry.
Yet as I have explored with my other debates in the past, it seems we must first define (or describe to the best of our limits) what we mean by "God(s)" and "Existence". Otherwise the debate "Does God exist?" becomes slightly meaningless.
Now that's done.
I was reading much about the psychology of religion, and found that due to articles like :
"Thinking Style and Belief In God" - Art Markman
Link : http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/ulterior-motives/201208/thinking-style-and-belief-in-god
"We are programmed to believe in a god" by Jesse Bering.
"Is God an Accident" by Paul Bloom :
that had many theological implications!
And made me think :
- There is a strong correlation with a "Theory of mind" and belief in God. Animals don't really have a "theory of mind", does this mean other animals can't experience "God(s)"?
- Psychologists can now artificially create a "God experience", Doesn't this make the "Religious experience" argument rather dubious?. Link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y02UlkYjSi0
And there are probably many more Tedsters could think of!
However I do think it is worth mentioning that :
As Justin L. Barret said, that the psychology and neuroscience of religion (God) doesn't (dis)prove that God isn't real. For it wouldn't make much sense if a God who wanted to be in a relationship with us, didn't give us the ability to conceive such a God.
Another great quote by him :
"Having a scientific explanation for mental phenomena does not mean we should stop believing in them. "Suppose science produces a convincing account for why I think my wife loves me — should I then stop believing that sh

May 9 2013: Hi Bernard!
Yes, Its 'yours truly' with the quick :) end to my blathering ... YEAAAAH !!! :D.
Since my two week hiatus (sabbatical ? :) , I have had a chance to check out several other online discussions in this area of research interest which are much more open to other paradigms and research. (interesting side note, Bernie Segal considers paradigms to be emotional addictions).
So, even though I would greatly miss you and all the wonderful folks I have met here - why should I have to jump through hoops to avoid the censors here? :(
I suppose I can provide references and or links via my email at trueascensionllc. But should I have to go through this - just to talk to folks?
I'm really sorry to end my first contribution to your new talk with such a down expectation for its future. I really appreciate your invitation to this new chat and I don't take your friendship lightly, nor am I just going away or rejecting you or all the great folks I've met here. I'm just expressing to you how I'm feeling, sorry.
Your Buddy,

Stop, in the name of love. Before you break my heart.
 Full House is an American sitcom television series. Set in San Francisco, the show chronicles widowed father Danny Tanner, who, after the death of his wife, enlists his best friend Joey Gladstone and his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis to help raise his three daughters, D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle. The show originally ran in primetime from September 22, 1987 to May 23, 1995 on ABC. The series ran as part of ABC's TGIF Friday comedy lineup for its first four seasons before moving to Tuesday nights, where it aired for the remainder of its run. The series originally ran for 8 seasons, and 192 episodes.
 After news reporter Danny Tanner's wife Pam is killed in a car crash (revealed in a final season episode to be caused by a drunk driver), he recruits his brother-in-law Jesse (a rock musician) and quirky best friend Joey (a comedian) to help raise his three daughters, D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle, in his San Francisco home. Over time, the three men as well as the children bond and become closer to one another. The show's title is derived from the poker hand known as a 'full house', with the three daughters being "three of a kind" and Jesse and Joey a "pair". Danny (in season 2) becomes host of a local morning television show, "Wake Up, San Francisco". Later, Danny gets a new co-host, Rebecca Donaldson. When Jesse meets Rebecca, they instantly fall in love. Eventually (in season 4), Jesse and Rebecca get married. Then (in season 5), they have twin sons, Nicky and Alex. Throughout the series, Jesse struggles to decide on what he wants to do with his life. In seasons two, he partners up with Joey in an advertising business. In season five, he decides to start a music career. Additionally (in season 6), D.J. gets a steady boyfriend named Steve.

Five weeks old
My little baby isn't looking so little to me anymore. I can feel her getting heavier in my arms. Her little arms and legs are filling out and her cheeks are taking on a definite chubby look.
We dropped the last of her newborn clothes to the charity shop and she is now officially in 0-3 month clothes.
She's been more alert when she's awake this week and we've noticed her starting to look at things. Little Man has noticed this change too and he's taking full advantage of it. He loves to take his favourite toys and hold them up in front of her and explain what they are and how they work. It's very cute to watch!
The wakeful days followed by sleepy days pattern seems to be continuing. I'm still just following her lead and letting her find her own routine. It's working really well. One night this week she slept for just over a five hour stretch. And so did I! It was lovely!
Whenever she falls into a deep sleep after 8pm (and that can happen at 8.30 or she may cluster feed until after midnight – it really varies), I take the opportunity to go to bed and get some sleep. As a result, I've been managing to feel fairly well rested despite the night feeds.
Breastfeeding is finally getting easy. At some stage this week the pain disappeared and yesterday I was finally able to stop using the Jack Newman All Purpose Nipple Ointment. I'm so relieved and delighted.
So here we are – five weeks in and hitting our stride!

oh she's just gorgeous Lisa! Delighted all is going so well with feeding too and that the pain has gone xx
Office mum recently posted..seven very good reasons to work from home
All good news, hurray! Little Woman looks so alert…watch out Little Man!!!
Just beautiful Lisa, so great to hear all is going well xx
Brilliant! They'll be great friends – just watch and see who she smiles for first, or easiest. My elder could always get the baby to smile – she was entranced by him. And she was such a great audience that he loved to entertain her.
Christine recently posted..Disappearing pizza and itchy fingers
Aw Lisa! She's sooo gorgeous! She just looks PERFECT! Agh I have to stop reading your blog … It's only been 7 months and I want another one!!!! She's absolutely lovely, so glad the feeding has finally worked itself out x
Congrats! Isn't it amazing how excited we can get about being able to sleep for 5 hours?

By Alexis WileyFox 2 NewsINKSTER, Mich. (WJBK) -- Inkster police say a third grader at Daly Elementary School brought a loaded gun to school Thursday and showed it to a classmate, who told his mother. That mom called the school, and Friday school officials searched the child and found that same loaded gun.Sources say the eight-year-old told police he needed it for protection because he was being bullied.Thankfully the gun was confiscated before anyone was hurt. The child was arrested, but later released to his parents. We stopped by their Detroit home, but someone shut the door when we tried to ask a question.Sources tell me police ran the gun and it is legally registered to one of the child's family members. Meanwhile, the little boy will most likely face charges and a lot of questions.

Avoid memory leaks in your ruby/rails code and protect you against denial of service
We heard a lot about that Ruby is cool cause we do not have to care about memory, the garbage collector does it for us. Well, that's kind of true, but this does not mean we can write code without keeping in mind on what's is going on under our ruby code.
Ruby symbol memory leak
We all know that using symbols instead of strings is a good practice to have, it's faster and it saves your memory. Yes but at what price ? Symbols are faster in part cause they are created just one time in memory, that's great ! But then ? they will stay forever in memory …
That means, do not convert everything in symbol ! Be sure to well know what you are converting in symbol.
Example: Somewhere in your app, you apply a to_sym on an user's name like :
When you have hundreds of users, that's could be ok, but what is happening if you have one million of users ? Here are the numbers :
ruby-1.9.2-head >
# Current memory usage : 6608K
# Now, add one million randomly generated short symbols
ruby-1.9.2-head > 1000000.times { (Time.now.to_f.to_s).to_sym }
# Current memory usage : 153M, even after a Garbage collector run.
# Surprisingly, on Ruby 1.8.7-p249,
# the VM only grow up to 33M, but that's still a lot !
# Now, imagine if symbols are just 20x longer than that ?
ruby-1.9.2-head > 1000000.times { (Time.now.to_f.to_s * 20).to_sym }
# Current memory usage : 501M
Furthermore, NEVER convert non controlled arguments in symbol or check arguments before, this can easily lead to a denial of service.
Example: You have a website with a locale parameter in order to localize your content and you have something like this in your application controller:
def set_locale
I18n.locale = params[:locale].to_sym
It's really simple to call thousand of times your website with a long params[:locale] and make your application bloat !
By the way, it looks like the I18n gem converts automatically the locale in symbol, so be sure to check if the locale is valid before assigning it !
Here is the link: http://github.com/svenfuchs/i18n/blob/master/lib/i18n/config.rb#LID8
If you need to control your number of allocted symbols in your app, you can use Symbol.all_symbols.size. Add this to your log to see if you are leaking symbols over time ! (This can be a good measure to add in Newrelic; Newrelic guys, are you reading ?
Reference to objects leak
This leak is a fake one but can grow rapidly in your app.
It happens when you keep a variable in your code referering objects, and these objects are also referencing objects, and etc…
This often happen when using $variable or @@variable as they stay forever in memory.
Here is a little example :
class HelloIamLeaking
@@an_array = []
def initialize()
# Put something big in the array
@@an_array << "hello world" * (4**10)
x = HelloIamLeaking.new
x = nil # So no more HelloIamLeaking instance in our code
GC.start # Run the garbage collector to be sure this is real !
# Memory usage after : 17M
ruby-1.9.2-head > ObjectSpace.each_object(HelloIamLeaking) {|x| p x }
=> 0
# So we have no more instance of HelloIamLeaking
# but the class variable remains in memory.
Ok, this is a completely logical and dumb example but this show you the principle.
And this can grow exponentially if you have objects linking to huge array or datasets, they will never be garbage collected if just one object in your code is still referencing the source object.
This will consume your memory, but not only, this will also consume your cpu time as when the garbage collector runs, it looks on every single object, and the more objects you have, the more it spent time looking at them …
To resume reference leak : with time, it's grow in memory and slow down dramatically the garbage collector running time.
If you want to read more about reference leaks, read the awsome post descent into darkness on the blog of Joe Damato.
Update: Find this leaks easily using the memprof gem and by using memprof.com (awsome stuff again by Joe Damato)
My app is still bloating !
After that, if you have still ruby/rails process bloating, be sure to use the latest version of gem that are using C code, they can be an easy source of memory leak.
And, this is obvious, but be sure to not load huge dataset in memory at one time ! (use find_in_batch instead for example)
Then, If you want more control over the memory allocation, here is a good link for tune up the heap easily and control your ruby process growth.
Thanks for taking the time to read and I hope this article will help you to reduce your memory consumption !

A rabbit? You told me I should go green, little devil. You can't say that and then insult me when I admit to eating a little healthier. My company director side eyes me when I eat carbs in front of her.
Rabbits eat lettuce and veggies. I told you to go green with your shake. If I wanted to insult you, you would've known it. I did no such thing. I bet they're sticklers for perfection and lines. So how far along are you when it comes to your ballet dreams?
You should try dancing for 8 hours a day- also good for you. I eat too many salads and Jacob asked if I wanted a milkshake. I can't turn down sugar… ever.
No thanks that was always your thing, not mine. I'll dance at my wedding that's pretty much it. I see the princess turned into a rabbit. I'm sure you can turn it down, all you have to do is say no.
I'm not all that indecisive, but milkshake flavor is a big deal. It could make or break your day.
You're being dramatic. I see that's another one of those things that hasn't changed. You should try going green. It's better for you.
Maybe because you lack the ability to choose. It sucks to be so indecisive.
You're just rude, so I'm going to leave you to your kingdom.
You act like like I'm any different from before. I've always been rude. Me and my kingdom will always be here. Let me know if you ever want access to it.
A knight who shifted allegiances long ago, I'm afraid. Sure, you can think whatever you so please to think, Archer. Just don't extrapolate too much.
There were nicer kingdoms out there. You know I'm awesomely amazing you just don't want to admit it. Look at you and your big words. I only pull out the truth.
You clicked the button first and you reminded me of this girl I once knew. A knight of sorts. Does there always have to be a reason?
It was probably an accident. I wasn't really paying attention. A knight who changed her allegiances? I was just curious. There doesn't have to be a reason other than I'm still amazing.
Rude as always is as correct as you can get, Archer.
Whatever. I would say I thought that my page was private, but yeah. Anyway, what made you click that follow button?
When strangers pop up out of nowhere, I love it. What I just said may be dripping in a bit of sarcasm.
"I think when you're happy and calm and make sure that you're taken care of from within, it shows on the outside, too."

We want NBN fibre connected to every home and business in Throsby, with the suburbs of the Southern Highlands and Southern Illawarra (Albion Park / Albion Park Rail / Oak Flats) as a priority.
These areas have inadequate and/or limited access to broadband and are at a significant disadvantaged compared to other parts of the region.
We say the NBN is necessary to:
- Enable our businesses to take advantage of the economic opportunities of high-speed broadband;
- Provide our job seekers with the ability to use the Internet to search for local employment;
- Provide our students with the technology necessary to give them the best possible education.
GOAL: 2,000 signatures

Our childrens primary school (Tullimbar Public School) is at a significant disadvantage, and those of us running small businesses in the area are suffering huge expenses in only being able to access the highly overpriced mobile internet.
Please please help our area to get the NBN.
I cannot believe we are in a first world country and the exorbitant taxes and rates we pay seem unjustified when we cannot even connect to the world wide web for advancement.

Masters invite would add interest to NCAAs
I have never spoken with anyone on the The Masters Committee, and I don't know if there has ever been any serious thought to inviting the NCAA champ to Augusta each year, but I do know that I am constantly hearing college golf coaches say they need a way to bring more attention to their national championship.
UNC takes Wolfpack title by seven shots
North Carolina claimed its second team title of the year Saturday with a seven-shot victory at the Wolfpack Intercollegiate.
Saturday at the Masters: A quick 18
Observations from a very noisy and excitement-filled third round of the Masters.
Woods can win, but it won't be easy
Can Tiger Woods, four strokes behind after 54 holes, win the Masters after a five-month layoff?
Augusta alive with noise in Saturday's round
The roars were restored in Masters Round 3. You could hear the thunderous ovations a mile or more away.
Els shaken after disappointing Masters
Ernie Els has special feelings for Augusta National Golf Club. But as his chances of winning his first Masters were de-railed Thursday after a double bogey the 18th hole, the tall South African may have thought of the lyrics of Carly Simon's song "Killing Me Softly".
Commentary: Woods wins battle to stay in contention
Mark this down: The third round of the 73rd Masters will be known as the day Tiger Wood nearly lost control of his emotions.
Commentary: Eaglefest gives Augusta fans a reason to roar
Phil Mickelson wasn't alone in giving the crowd something to cheer about Saturday at Augusta. As James Achenbach writes, those who say the excitement doesn't start until the back nine Sunday should think again.
After a tough Friday, Couples still has a shot
Fred Couples has made enough trips around Augusta National – Sunday will mark his 100th official round, to be specific – to know some strange, magical things can transpire at the Masters.
Lefty holding on to Saturday's lucky ball
Phil Mickelson's caddie, Jim 'Bones' Mackay, was standing outside Augusta National's clubhouse, sharing the detalis of his boss' amazing eagle-eagle-birdie stretch, when Fred Couples pounced on him from behind, put both his arms on Mackay's shoulders, and excitedly said, "I want that ball!"
CBS' Masters coverage heavy on Woods
Masters coverage on CBS feels like the Tiger Woods Invitational.
Kraft champ Tseng among Masters patrons
Further proof that the Masters holds a special place in golf: Yani Tseng, winner of last week's Kraft Nabisco Championship, left her Orlando home at 6 a.m. Saturday and drove seven hours to watch the Masters.
Early fireworks in Round 3 of the Masters
I hope you have a comfortable seat on the couch. If the play of the leaders in their first 30 minutes of action Saturday at the Masters is any indication, we're in for a fantastic day.
Westwood leads Lefty by 1; Woods lurks
Lee Westwood maintained his lead Saturday at Augusta as back-to-back eagles by Phil Mickelson, including a hole-out on the 14th, put Lefty within a shot of the lead. Tiger Woods is four strokes back.
Tiger's clubs up close and personal
Unlike the driver used by Tiger Woods – a stock 9.5-degree Victory Red Tour model – Tiger's VR Blade irons are hardly stock. They have been bent and ground to his precise specifications.

Driftmoon – A Fun Casual RPG Game [Video]
If you are a fan of RPGs (role playing games), especially the more 'casual' types like Torchlight II then this new game from Instant Kingdom might be just up your alley.
Driftmoon is a top-down type of game and the graphics are pretty typical of the current style being used in casual gaming type games. Of course this doesn't mean that it isn't fun, as Driftmoon comes stocked full of bad guys to slay, puzzles to solve, and hidden rooms to find.
On top of that the game comes with mod support and a game editor so that you can create your own mods or levels.
Also to add to the 'feel good' part of buying the game, which will run you $20 USD or 14.99 Euros, Instant Kingdom is donating 15% of all their profits from the game to the Red Cross.

It's the day before the Dolphins' three-day rookie mini-camp, so let's play a game.
Let's see which players selected in the first through fifth rounds have a chance to be the franchise's best draftee of their respective round over the last decade.
It's the day before the Dolphins' three-day rookie mini-camp, so let's play a game.
Let's see which players selected in the first through fifth rounds have a chance to be the franchise's best draftee of their respective round over the last decade.
--2013 first-round pick: DE/LB Dion Jordan, Oregon
First-rounder to beat: LT Jake Long (2008). Long made the Pro Bowl as a rookie, which means Jordan would have to match that feat to have a chance to be better.
To make the Pro Bowl as a pass rusher, Jordan would probably need a double-digit sack total. That'd be an amazing rookie season. And combined with the expected double-digit sack total from DE Cam Wake on the other side, it'd give the Dolphins one of the best pass rushes in the NFL.
--2013 second-round pick: CB Jamar Taylor, Boise State
Second-rounder to beat: CB Sean Smith (2009), OT Jonathan Martin (2012). Smith started all 16 games and had a career-best 12 passes defended (he matched that last season) and one recovered fumble. Martin started all 16 games, flipping from RT to LT for the last three. C Samson Satele (2007) also started all 16 games as a rookie.
To be better, Taylor would have to start all 16 games and then probably produce two or three takeaways (interceptions, recovered fumbles). The Dolphins could use such a season. They need two new starters at cornerback as well as nickel and dime defensive backs.
--2013 third-round pick: OT-G Dallas Thomas, Tennessee; CB Will Davis, Utah State
Third-rounder to beat: LB Channing Crowder (2005). Crowder started 13 games and totaled 53 tackles, two fumbles recovered, one forced fumble and four passes defended. DE Kendall Langford (2008) started 13 games and totaled 25 tackles, two sacks and three passes defended.
For Thomas to beat Crowder he'd have to start at least 13 games and be a reliable blocker in either run or pass situations, but not necessarily both. In the perfect world Thomas would probably replace RG John Jerry. Why? LG Richie Incognito went to the Pro Bowl last season. His job should be set. You hope Martin, last year's second-rounder, can hold down one of the tackle positions. And you hope the free agent tackle Miami eventually signs can hold down the other tackle position.
Davis would need double-digit starts and produce a takeaway or two. It'd help if he could play inside as nickel or dime DB and excel on special teams.
--2013 fourth-round pick: LB Jelani Jenkins, Florida; TE Dion Sims, Michigan State
Fourth-rounder to beat: WR Brian Hartline (2009). Hartline played in all 16 games, making three starts. He finished with 31 receptions for 506 yards and a career-best three touchdowns.
To beat that, Jenkins would probably have to be a regular contributor from scrimmage (goalline, third-down, part-time starter, etc…), be a reliable special teams player and produce a takeaway or two.
Sims would have to come close to matching Hartline's stats. It'd be great if Sims equals Hartline's rookie stats because the Dolphins need a difference-maker at that position.
--2013 fifth-round pick: RB Mike Gillislee, Florida; K Caleb Sturgis, Florida
Fifth-round pick to beat: RG Rex Hadnot (2004). Hadnot started seven games and played in 14. The bar is fairly low here. Among other fifth-rounders are S Reshad Jones (2010), CB Nolan Carroll (2010) and S Chris Clemons (2009). They're all key players now, but they weren't as rookies.
Sturgis could beat Hadnot's rookie year. If Sturgis wins the starting job over incumbent Dan Carpenter he becomes a factor in every game. That's pretty good. Gillislee would have to be a part-time starter or regular contributor from scrimmage in some way (third-down receiver, third-down blocking back, goalline, etc…) as well as a special teams contributor.
Overall, who is the Dolphins rookie with the best chance to become the best draftee of his respective round in the last 10 drafts?
Unfortunately, the bar is way too high for Jordan. That's not to say he won't be productive, it's just hard to imagine him being better than Long.
I'll take Sturgis, and then Taylor, and then maybe Gillislee or Davis.

Troop after troop their line forsakes;In most languages every one of the first three lines is grossly mispointed. Read:
With peace-white banners waving free,
And from our own the glad shout breaks
Of Freedom and Fraternity!
Troop after troop their line forsakes,Better than such obstructions to the sense would it have been if these lines had been left wholly unpunctuated. In fact, a good deal of simple verse, devoid of enjambment, might dispense wholly with points without great loss. The opening lines of Gray's Elegy, or of Emerson's "Concord Monument," would suffer little in intelligibility if printed thus:
With peace-white banners waving free;
And from our own the glad shout breaks,
Of Freedom and Fraternity!
The curfew tolls the knell of parting dayThe early scribes, by a system known as stichometry, attained the ends of punctuation by chopping up the text into lines accommodated to the sense. And in our modern practice a stop is often omissible at the end of a line because of the break, whereas it would be essential to clearness if the final word of one line and the first of the succeeding stood close together. Macaulay, writing of Pitt, says:
The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea
The ploughman homeward plods his weary way
And leaves the world to darkness and to me
By the rude bridge that arched the flood
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.
O Lady! we receive but what we give,writes Coleridge in his ode Dejection; yet in the same poem we encounter:
Thou Wind, that ravest without.The comma in the last two lines is to be approved because of the exclamation point at the end and the desirability of husbanding stress. But the following quotations, from Byron, Clough, and Wordsworth respectively, show that the comma need not apologize for itself, and that the apostrophic usage is divided ad libitum:
. . . .
Mad Lutanist! who, in this month of showers
. . . .
Thou Actor, perfect in all tragic sounds!
Thou mighty Poet, e'en to frenzy bold!
Fond hope of many generations, art thou dead?The approved German practice is to put an exclamation point after Dear Sir (or Friend) at the beginning of a letter, and it was not unknown to our forefathers in their private correspondence; but convention now forbids it in English, and we use either the colon or the dash—the latter chiefly when the line runs on continuously after it. In friendly expostulation, however, as, "My dear sir! I consider what you are saying!" the exclamation point reasserts itself.
What voice did on my spirit fall,
Peschiera, when thy bridge I crost?
Ye blessèd Creatures, I have heard the call.
As ships, becalmed at eve, that layThe second stanza is purely parenthetical, and it might equally well, if less elegantly, be pointed with parentheses, a semicolon replacing the colon:
With canvas drooping, side by side,
Two towers of sail at dawn of day
Are scarce, long leagues apart, descried:
When fell the night, upsprung the breeze,
And all the darkling hours they plied,
Nor dreamt but each the self-same seas
By each was cleaving, side by side:
E'en so—but why the tale reveal
Of those whom year by year unchanged
Brief absence joined anew to feel,
Astounded, soul from soul estranged?
Are scarce, long leagues apart, descried;It is rather the comma and the dash which compete with the marks of parenthesis. Thus, Fenimore Cooper writes in his Mohicans:
(When fell the night, upsprung the breeze,
. . . .
By each was cleaving, side by side;)
God never made a tyrant nor a slave.The need in it of punctuation other than the final period is not obvious; but, in the poet's own feeling, a comma was called for, slightly checking the flow, thus
God never made a tyrant, nor a slave.By this refinement a little more emphasis is bestowed on the second member—"nor a slave either," as if mankind were less disposed to eliminate slaves than tyrants from divine order: a state of mind actually witnessed in this country in 1830, when the slaveholding citizens of Charleston celebrated the overthrow of Charles X. The emphasis would, of course, have been heightened by employing a dash, as —
God never made a tyrant—nor a slave.So Byron, in his Isles of Greece:
He served—but served PolycratesA comma [He served, but served Polycrates] would have meant, "that made a difference;" the dash implies, "that made a great deal of difference." The semicolon has nowadays a much closer relation with the comma than with the colon. In the days of the scribes, it shared with the colon a function now confined to the period, viz., of denoting a terminal abbreviation—sometimes standing apart, as in undiq; (for undique); sometimes closely attached to the final letter, as, q; for que. The early printers duly adopted this, with other conventions of the manuscripts. When the Gothic letter was abandoned for the Roman, a curious result ensued in the case of the abbreviation of videlicet (viz.) . The semicolon was detached from the i, but no longer as a point. It took the shape of the letter it resembled in Gothic script, though not in Roman print, and thus really gave a twenty-seventh letter to our alphabet—a pseudo z. Not unnaturally, it acquired the sound of z or ss, as is exemplified in the lines from Hudibras:
(A tyrant, but our masters then
Were still at least our countrymen).
That which so oft by sundry writersNaturally, too, it ceased even to signify a contraction, for our printers follow it with a period (viz.) for that purpose; and if the practice observed by Goetz of Cologne, of using a zed for a period, had prevailed, we might have seen the odd form vizz arise.
Has been applied t' almost all fighters,
More justly may b' ascribed to this
Than any other warrior, viz."

Suspect sought in Custer teen's assault
Published on Wed, Jun 18, 2014
Read More
A Custer teenager was injured last week after another boy pistol-whipped him during a fight at a graduation party in Deming.
The fight broke out around 10 p.m. on June 7. The teens were part of a group that had assembled in a gravel pit off North Fork Road in Deming for a party.
The 18-year-old received a serious cut to his head when his assailant, also 18, struck him with a loaded handgun, causing a round to discharge. The assailant then fled the scene. It is unknown at this time what the fight was about.
The victim was taken to the Nooksack River Casino to meet with an ambulance. Initial witnesses believed the gunshot to have caused the wound to the victim's head, but inspection by EMTs at the scene confirmed the injury was from the blunt force of the pistol and not a bullet.
Whatcom County Sherriff's Office deputies are attempting to follow up with a suspect but have had difficulty tracking him down. The gunman could be facing charges of first-degree assault and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Anyone with any information should contact the Whatcom County Sheriff's office at 360/715-7459.

In The Mix
Crafty Pint / 09.08.12
"This is the only time you'll ever see a brewer in a white coat," says Crown's head brewer Tully Hadley as he dons one for the 2012 Crown Ambassador blending session. "When the cameras are present."
He may have a point. The last time The Crafty Pint saw a brewer in a lab coat was at Thunder Road when we joined the Brunswick brewers for the first brew on their mini-brewery – the Shamrock Dark Lager – when, again, there were cameras present. Mind you, on that occasion only the head brewer was attired that way; at CUB's headquarters everyone in attendance was soon rekindling memories of school chemistry labs – and not just because we were all in white.
On the tables in the Brewery Development Unit were glass beakers and measuring cylinders, while in crates behind Tully were various large bottles filled with the two elements of this year's Ambassador vintage – the unadulterated and the oak-aged. The only things missing were safety glasses, a bunsen burner or two and the kid at the back setting off small explosions.
For the most part, the setting was more than mere frippery. The aim was to bring in people from the beer, wine, restaurant and media worlds to sample the two versions of the beer and blend different proportions to help Tully establish the percentages of each that will go into the beer that is due for release in November, a beer that is the one product that comes out of the Abbotsford factory that one could call craft. It may have the same parentage of many beers that make craft beer drinkers shudder at the mere mention of their name and benefit from the huge marketing might of one of the world's largest brewing companies, but it's still a 10 per cent (ish) lager of high quality brewed in a small batch by brewers who handpick the hops that go into the brew, which spends months conditioning prior to release and features a percentage aged in French oak barrels from Dargaud & Jaeglé.
The lab session itself involved the participants sampling the oaked and unoaked versions separately before launching into their individual blending exercises. The unoaked version seemed more delicate than any previous release and certainly had captured more of the hop character the brewers have claimed for the beer in the past: some resiny green hop character plus some distinct orange and citrus aromas. The oak-aged, after a lengthy four months in the barrels, was firmly smokey, like a liqueur Tokay.
The majority appeared to favour 10 per cent or less of the oaked beer; certainly a lower level of oaked beer would seem necessary to preserve the character derived from the Galaxy hops. That said, when we accidentally mixed up Beaker A (unoaked) with Beaker B (oaked) and did a heavily smoked blend, there was much to be said for a smaller, accompanying release of a smokier blend. After lunch – and a few hours steadily sipping previous vintages (although not 2010's release) – Tully appeared to be giving such an idea serious consideration as a dessert beer.
This year is his first in charge of the Ambassador release after former head brewer John Cozens retired earlier in the year to return to the UK. And while the base recipe remains the same, he says he is seeking more bitterness while the use of barrels has altered from previous years.
"The most important thing for me was going back to previous vintages and seeing how they were maturing, then talking to John Cozens about his vision for the beer," says Tully. "I've also been given free range to use my experience from the past to put my own spin on it in whichever way I thought was best.
"From the start what we're aiming for is the most luxurious beer in the country. Everything from the raw materials, the hand picking of the green hops to using them within 24 hours, to using the most luxurious French oak barrels that money can buy. [Barrels from Dargaud & Jaeglé] have a real mellowness rather than an in-your-face oak character.
"We use a lot of malt and only use first runnings [the first wort drained from the mash tun with the highest extract of fermentable sugars from the grain]; even the last runnings would make a beer as strong as a normal beer."
The beer will spend another month in tank and barrels while Tully decides on his final blend. It will be released, in the usual schmicko packaging, in November. The Queen has always been sent bottle number one since the first beer was released in 2008. This year, John Cozens will deliver it to her. Who knows, it might give her the Dutch courage for another skydive.
For more on barrel-aging beers look out for a Crafty-penned feature in the next edition of the James Halliday Wine Companion magazine. It's out in late August and features interviews with Brendan Varis of Feral, Shawn Sherlock of Murray's and Richard Watkins of Wig & Pen.

To keep all your troubles at bay

Now that you are an adult
Your life is finally on track, so exciting
At thirty, your life's epic journey so far
Is totally worth celebrating

A terrific time in your thirties

Age starts taking its toll
Happy 30th birthday
9) Even though you are thirty
You still look like a teen
At thirty, you look the best

You so free spirited
I hope your thirties give you
Everything that you have always wanted

10) The worst part about turning thirty
Is that you will feel for the first time
That age is creeping up
And you have gone past your prime
Of your life's best years
Thirty is actually the beginning

This would be spring
So don't feel disheartened
Don't feel old and sad
Don't think that life is running away
Don't feel too bad
Happy 30th birthday
11) Early thirties are the best times of life
Spontaneous and carefree
Because once you have a family and kids
You will have to live life differently
In your early thirties you can
Live life without much stress
Before the dreaded midlife crisis
In which everything will be a chaotic mess
Happy 30th birthday
12) One third of your life
Has just gone by
The rest of your life
May also quickly fly
Start your countdown
To achieve and accomplish
All your dreams and ambitions
That is what I wish
Happy 30th birthday
13) You hardly look
Thirty on your Facebook
You look like twenty
Not joking, seriously
You have the energy of a teen
More bubbly, you have never been
I hope you always stay this way
I wish you a happy thirtieth birthday

By doing something memorable
Make it the best birthday
By doing something special

That you will later cherish
Have an awesome time today
Is my birthday wish
Happy 30th birthday

Of turning a year older
Don't forget the responsibilities
You will have to shoulder
As you celebrate
You thirtieth year
I hope you have a great time
Happy birthday my dear
16) The best times of your life
Are about to unfold
Don't let your spirit age
Just because you have grown old
Don't forget that the next
Few years to come
Will be the prime years of your life
Full of happiness and totally awesome
Happy 30th birthday
17) Thirty is just the beginning
Of exciting years ahead
On many new pastures
You will have to tread
Thirty is the beginning
Of getting success
May every venture of life
Bring you joy and happiness
Happy 30th birthday
18) Celebrate turning thirty today
Shout out loud and say
You have lots of wisdom in store
And you are not immature anymore
You are beyond your embarrassing twenties
Moving on to your enlightened thirties
You have a lot of experience and insight
To see things in a new light
Congratulations on turning thirty
This is the time to be smart and nifty
Happy 30th
19) In the race of your life
This will be the hardest part
Because there is no turning back now
You are miles from the start
The only way to tackle your thirties
Is to grab is by its collars
As you jump hurdles and problems
While minting big dollars
Happy 30th
20) Don't listen to anyone
Who calls you old
Thirty is just the beginning
Of life's miracles to unfold
New jobs and kids
New friends and life partners
Are just some of the few
Upcoming exciting new corners
Happy 30th birthday
21) Everyone turns thirty
It isn't a big deal just for you
Unless you are chasing a new dream
Or there is an ambition you want to pursue
How will you commemorate
Your thirtieth birthday to make it special
Make new goals and desires
To make it memorable
Happy 30th birthday
22) Since you have grown old
Quicker than I thought
A gift suited to oldies
For you, I have bought
Since you will now
Start a family
Enjoy your last days of freedom
While you are thirty
Happy 30th birthday
23) Hi oldie
A little birdie
Has told me
That you could be
Sad and gloomy
As you are aging quickly
But don't be
Upset so badly
As being thirty
Is a part of everyone's destiny
Happy 30th birthday
24) Thirty is not too old
To be called as precious as gold
Thirty is not too prudent
To make you avoid silly accidents
Thirty is not too wise
To get the right to give everyone advice
Thirty is not too full of experience
To be called a person with matured intelligence
Alas, being thirty can be confusing
But that doesn't mean you stop celebrating
Happy 30th birthday
25) Welcome to no man's land
As you turn thirty
You are not too young nor too old
You are in the worst place that you can be
Welcome to the most confusing phase
Where you won't know what to do
Should you act all grown up and matured
Or be carefree and just be you
Apart from these funny things
It is worth being thirty
Because you have a life ahead
To live wholeheartedly
Happy 30th birthday

Pumpkin-Carving Tips
Guest blogger Ronda Kaysen: Kids and knives don't usually go well together, but when it comes to carving up Halloween jack-o'-lanterns, the situation is hard to avoid. Here are some tips for helping them create a menacing gourd without a trip to the emergency room.
"Jack-o'-lanterns are part of Halloween fun, but remember to take precautions before and during cutting," says hand surgeon George Kardashian, MD, of the Center for Bone and Joint Disease. Here are his tips for making the carving fun and safe for everyone:
- Choose your tools wisely. Don't use just any household knife to carve up your pumpkin. Invest in knives made specifically for the task. Most Halloween supply stores stock carving kits. Martha Stewart sells one for about $25 that includes nine carvers, patterns and an instruction booklet.
- A cut below. Rather than cut open the top of the pumpkin, cut a hole out of the bottom. It's an easier place to cut, you can create a larger opening and it makes it easier to stand the pumpkin atop a candle, rather than placing the candle inside on an uneven bottom.
- Tell the kids, "Knives are for Mommy." Let them choose the pattern and trace it onto the pumpkin before you carve. They can also be in charge of scooping out the gooey innards. (An ice-cream scoop is a great tool for getting all the seeds out.) But when it comes to wielding the knives, leave that part to Mom and Dad.
- Be a neat freak. Keep the area clean and as non-slippery as possible. Make sure all the seeds are scooped out and the mess cleaned up before you start the carving. Dry your hands when you're handling the knife, so you don't slip and cut yourself.
- Who needs knives, anyway? If the kids are really young, consider uncarved jack-o'-lanterns. Have the kids decorate their pumpkins with stickers, paint or markers. They can make a fairly scary creation without any cuts at all!

Enforcement, rehabilitation and public protection
Restorative Justice gives victims the chance to tell offenders the real impact of their crime, and to get answers to their questions. It gives the offenders the chance to understand the real impact of what they've done and to do something to repair the harm. Restorative Justice holds offenders to account for what they have done, personally and directly, and helps victims to get on with their lives.
Restorative Gloucestershire is a group of statutory and voluntary sector partners that have joined with the aim of offering all people who come into contact with the criminal justice system (CJS) an opportunity to participate in a restorative intervention. If you have been a victim of crime, and the offender has admitted guilt for the offence, you may be able to let them know how you have been affected and get answers to any questions you have. Likewise, if you are an offender (or family member that thinks this is fitting) you may be able let the victim know that you wish to explain and apologise through correspondence with the RJ unit. This may be done by letters or in a face to face meeting.
All correspondence is confidential and any meetings thoroughly risk assessed. No personal information is passed without permission.

Honestly all the good raiding guilds have subs. Not only does it help if someone can't make it that night, but the looming threat of possibly being sat for poor performance keeps people on their toes. A 25 man raid with 5 bench warmers can still feel pressed, the letter writer is in every right to alternate people out, if those 3 wanna leave, let them, good riddance.

Jussi Jokinen expected to go on waivers today. #Canes Surely he will attract some interest? — Hockeyy Insiderr (@HockeyyInsiderr) March 26, 2013 I don't know how legit Hockey Insider is, but there has been a lot of controversy over Carolina forward Jussi Jokinen. Jokinen, 29 years old is off to his worst start of his career. (5goals 5 assists) and a minus 7. I say if Jokinen is available the Bruins should try him out. It sucks that the season is almost over, but it would be a better option to obtain someone without giving anyone up, instead of sending a number of prospects for an aging veteran at the end of his career (Jagr/ Iginla) who might not exactly have enough in the tank to help the B's. Jokinen is 29 years old, so he has a lot of hockey to be played. Maybe a shakeup of scenery with a team that is committed to winning could spark him. Heck, he's better than Pandolfo and Bourque. As the trade deadline ascends on us, a lot of rumors will be flung around. The Br...

Ulgh... there is NO WAY that Heroic leap should be a Battle Stance talent. Does jumping through the air and smashing down sound more like a 'Master of arms' than a 'rampaging warrior of woad?
NO. It doesn't.
For some reason, Blizzard think that just because Fury Warriors look cool with two-2H weapons that they'll be content to do less and also not PvP at all. Why do Slam, (Cleave?) Heroic Strike, Sunder and GWound (all baseline abilities) make up 80% of our rotation? (Assuming BT as the only other move that is unique?)
I like the fact they're trying to relive the Vanilla glory of Rogue in Plate and whatever - for the people who want it, anyway - but this sucks.... unless they modify rage to hit 200, I have a feeling it'll be all hit and miss with that new talent.
But once again Stances are stupidly restrictive... I hope they don't fuck everything up.

l2 reading comprehension:
"This ability makes the character leap at their target and apply the Thunder Clap ability to all enemies in the area when they land."
Do warriors in berserker stance do Thunder Clap?
Didn't think so...
Just stance dance if it's that important for you to do a leap in the air at that particular moment.

At his peak, New York Mets pitcher Johan Santana was one of the best left-handers of a generation. However, Santana has been shelved for over a year as a result of shoulder surgery, and he will miss the rest of the 2013 season.
There has been a growing movement that Santana could retire, as his massive 6-year, $137.5 million contract ends at the end of 2013, but he has reportedly stated that he "plans" to pitch in 2014. In an interview with the New York Daily News, Santana's agent reportedly relayed his sentiment that he "isn't going out like this", and that his client is in full preparation for a strong return.
In 2012, Santana performed extremely well in the first half of the season, posting a 3.24 ERA that included the first no-hitter in Mets history. However, the wheels came off in the second half, and it was apparent that Santana's shoulder gave out in a major way. The 34-year-old missed the duration of the 2011 season, but when he has been "healthy" in New York and Minnesota, he has been absolutely lights-out at times.
With over a year and a half of rehab on the devastating shoulder injury, it isn't out of the question to suggest that Santana could be effective in 2014. However, it will be extremely interesting to see how much interest he commands in free agency, and it is certainly not a given that he will have the same level of effectiveness when he returns. At any rate, let's hope that one of the best pitchers of this era can get it righted before he exits for good.
