Movie Reviews and Previews Articles
Joaquin or Ethan?
The reports came out over two months ago: Joaquin Phoenix negotiating to play Marvel's Dr Strange. And from very legitimate sources. But all this time has passed and still no confirmation. Everyone agreed it would be good casting. A lot of people were also surprised that he'd taken on such a big budget, big hype project. Full Story
Annie's amazing red lip
Anne Hathaway covers UK ELLE in advance of the release of Interstellar, expected to be one of the biggest movies of the season. Um. Sarah emailed me the other telling me it's over 2 hours and 45 minutes…WHAT??? See that's going to take an entire day of planning for me. To be able to accommodate an almost 3 hour movie, everything else has to be moved around. Full Story
Jesus Bale is back!
One of my favorite things ever is Jesus Bale, or what happens when Christian Bale gets particularly hirsute. How can you not love this? It cracks me up every time. So I'm really excited to see in the new Exodus: Gods & Guyliner trailer that Jesus Bale is making a comeback, and yes, I did little happy claps to see him once again. Full Story
Brad Pitt and his kids
Brange did not attend the Amal-George wedding this weekend. But every day since they've been making headlines. She bought him some crazy expensive watch. Click here for more details. Then PEOPLE ran a feature about their first month of marriage. Full Story
Benedict Cumberbatch gets ahead of the game
Benedict Cumberbatch has a GREAT new interview with TimeOut London in which he talks about both his Oscar chances and the kingmaker grooming him for center stage. The Batch is always an interesting interview for several reasons: 1) He's 38 and fame came late-ish for him, striking in his mid-thirties after he'd had a chance to fully form—they're better when it happens that way, as Lainey recently pointed out Full Story
Ben Affleck's dick and superhero swirl
Ron Asadorian/ Splash
Ben Affleck has been all over New York promoting Gone Girl, opening this weekend. I was just making plans to see Gone Girl on Friday with my cousin Cat and her husband who's celebrating a birthday. All depends on how it goes when they cut my lip open and take out my cyst-mole that afternoon. Full Story
Get off Jeremy Renner's lawn
Jeremy Renner's new movie, Kill The Messenger, opens on October 10 (against RDJ's The Judge—do you think they're giving each other a hard time about box office competition?), and as such Renner is giving us the hard shill. Kill The Messenger is opening in a crowded October dominated by a lot of flashy titles like Gone Girl and Fury, so he's got to hustle to draw attention to his movie. Full Story
Magic Mike's new friends
A quick programming note: there was a major delay on the subway this morning and I had that appointment at the eye clinic (I'm a good candidate for laser eye surgery) and so I'm just trying to catch up between preparing for The Social which goes live in a couple of hours. Going to hit you up with a few quick posts and photos and then focus on heavier analysis – including George Clooney's wedding details – later on this afternoon. Full Story
Tom Cruise: single man standing
Tom Cruise is working Mission: Impossible 5 in London. No breaks on the weekends, I guess, as he was seen on set yesterday double-fisting a Blackberry and an iPhone/Pod. Me too! So here's what I was thinking today. List the top movies – universally considered to be Top Movie Stars, male: Denzel Washington, married Will Smith, married Robert Downey Jr, married Brad Pitt, married George Clooney, married – GEORGE CLOONEY IS MARRIED Johnny Depp, engaged Tom Cruise… Tom Cruise…? Single man standing. Full Story
The "unreachable" Brad Pitt…with Shia as his wingman
Brange was not photographed at the Clooney wedding. Some are hoping they were there, just incognito. But you know what? It's not like they hang out a lot. You see Clooney with Damon, Krasinski, Murray… Since Oceans, you don't see him with Brad. Their friendship has been overblown… maybe because of wishful thinking. Full Story
Reese does a backflip
FameFlynet, Dimitrios Kambouris/ Getty
Reese Witherspoon is the latest celebrity to be featured in VOGUE's 73 questions. And she's letting you see her house. So. Before you rush off and press play, just a few notes… The best part is the backflip. In a skirt! The worst part is her answer about dinner with female senators. Full Story
Two of your favourite people
Rachel McAdams and Mark Ruffalo. They're shooting a new movie called Spotlight. It's about The Boston Globe's coverage of all that sick sh-t those Catholic priests were doing to those kids. Yesterday they were all at Fenway – in my mind the most gorgeous ballpark in the world – shooting scenes with Roger Sterling. Full Story
Early birthday
Eagle Eyes/ Splash
It's my birthday tomorrow. And look at my gift to you! New photos of Benedict Cumberbatch on set of the BBC2 production of The Hollow Crown: The War of the Roses. Sarah always talks about his voice. Cumberbatch fans love the voice. And now the voice is doing Shakespeare. With his hair longer and wavy and wet. Full Story
Blake Lively > Johnny Depp?
It was announced last month that Johnny Depp's Mortdecai would be released in February – click here for a refresher. And then the trailer came out and, as Sarah pointed out, it made sense why they'd want to bury it there. Mortdecai looks like sh-t. Full Story

Traveler Reviews
Reviewed by: Jonathan H, January 2014
Awesome! We had a great time. It had just rained before our tour so we got to ride through puddles and really test the ATV in all terrains.
Tips for this trip:
- Wear water shoes so your shoes don't get ruined
- If you are traveling with stuff make sure it can fit into a small locker you can rent at the site. The trail is dirty, dirty, dirty and fun
- Don't grip the life out of the handle bars. Hold both to keep you steady, but relax your arms. You'll thank me later

It was AWESOME! Just know that you will get a bit muddy by the time it's over. It's great for beginners OR experienced riders. Wonderful tour guides. Great photo opportunities!

Good Health is essential for students to perform well academically. However, accidents and illnesses can occur and may cause bills that can be financially devastating for college students. Medaille College strongly encourages all students to have adequate health insurance to provide coverage for medical expenses.
Until now, most young adults "aged off" their parents' health insurance when they turned 19 or graduated from college. Under the Affordable Care Act, you may be able to remain covered up to age 26. You don't need to live with your parents to be eligible for this coverage. Please have your parents check with their employers for more information.
If you are unable to be covered under your parents plan and need insurance, please go to www.healthcare.gov or for New York State residents, go to https://nystateofhealth.ny.gov/ to explore the options available to you under the Affordable Care Act. Please make sure that the plan you choose meets your needs regarding the exclusions, benefits paid, your out of pocket costs, and that it will cover you while you are away from home.
Fidelis Care
Fidelis Care offers low-cost health coverage for eligible students. You must be a resident of New York State and meet certain income guidelines to qualify.
Check out the link below for more information:
International Students
The United States does not have a government medical plan or health service that covers the whole population. Instead, most people have private health insurance which pays for a large portion of the cost of medical treatment. Medical care in the United States is very expensive. A visit to an urgent care facility can be almost $200 and a visit to an emergency room in a hospital can be over $500. Therefore, it is very important that you purchase health insurance that will cover you while you are in the United States. If you purchase a policy in your home country, please make sure that the policy pays for benefits in the United States.
Please select your health insurance policy carefully. Health and accident insurance does not cover all medical expenses. Carefully note what it covers and what it excludes. Most policies do not cover routine dental or vision expenses and most do not cover pre-existing medical conditions until you have been on the policy for six months. The deductible, which is the amount you have to pay before the insurance company pays anything, should be as low as possible. Please review this website provided by the American International Education Foundation (AIEF) for more information.
The companies listed below, among others, provide International Student coverage:
International Student Protection
HTH Worldwide
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more

Principal chamber music genre of the Baroque era. Despite its name, it requires four performers: two melody instruments and continuo (usually a keyboard instrument and a bass instrument). It arose early in the 17th century as an instrumental version of the Italian vocal-duet ensemble. The two upper instruments, usually violins, generally wove their melodic, quasi-vocal lines high above the accompanying parts. Two standard forms emerged after 1750: the sonata da chiesa, or church sonata, standardized as a four-movement form (in slow-fast-slow-fast order); and the suite-like sonata da camera, or chamber sonata. By 1770 the genre had been abandoned in favour of the solo sonata.

Navistar RV, a subsidiary of Navistar International Corporation (NYSE), will showcase a number of new products at this year's Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky., from November 27 to 29. The display will include the model-year 2014 Monaco Monarch SE, as well as the new Holiday Rambler Vacationer SE and Augusta B+.
"These ambitious products represent the next generation of RVs from Navistar and our brands," said Bill Osborne, president, Navistar RV. "We're excited to have our industry unveiling at the RVIA show, then to roll the models out to the public at events later this year and next.
"The overall mix of products in the market has shifted, with a larger preference for gas as compared to diesel in Class As," he added. "Also, amenities that were previously only available in diesel have now made their way into gas coaches."
The Monarch SE and Vacationer SE address these changes by delivering the high-end features of a full-size diesel coach — Smart Structure chassis system, ergonomically designed cockpit, soft-touch ceiling and generous pass-through storage — at the lower price of a gas vehicle. The RVs also emphasize the company's striking new exterior style and incorporate new floor plans to suit individual needs.
"Our gas products were previously on the higher end of the price segments," said Osborne. "These new products allow us to offer customers a gas Class A unit with deluxe amenities, and because they're affordable, first-time buyers and part-time enthusiasts can now enjoy a great, luxury coach."
During its product line evaluation, Navistar also determined there was an opportunity to add a B/C category unit to its portfolio, addressing the needs of first-time buyers and enthusiasts who want to be in a small but self-contained motorized RV.
"Holiday Rambler hasn't introduced a new vehicle in this product class for some time," Osborne added.
The new Augusta B+ is a maneuverable and compact motorized RV with maximum interior space. Inventive design features include a Murphy bed that folds away to allow for a large living area with skylight, plus a pop-up TV for enhanced counter space and work area. Storage is plentiful, with a mega-locker that can be accessed from the inside and outside. The vehicle is available on a gas Ford E-350/450 chassis.

Deep Blue Something
Deep Blue Something is one of the many one-hit wonders that dominated the airwaves in the mid 1990s. The band is almost synonymous with "Breakfast at Tiffany's", which, contrary to popular belief, was inspired by Audrey Hepburn's performance in 'Roman Holiday'. The title was changed to "Breakfast at Tiffany's" to make the song more appealing commercially.
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" tells the story of a man on the verge of a breakup with his girlfriend because they have nothing in common. The man then brings up the Audrey Hepburn movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's, which they both seem to like and which he sees as a sign that their relationship should go on. Despite the somber subject matter, the song itself has a peppy, effervescent tempo and a catchy melody.
The song was an enormous hit as soon as it was released as a single. It found a spot on the top 10 charts all over the world, including no. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, no. 1 on the UK singles chart, no. 3 in Ireland, no. 4 in Canada and no. 3 in Australia. The video itself was appreciated a lot and has overt references to the Audrey Hepburn movie. The video shows the band sitting in a cafe opposite Tiffany's in Manhattan. The video also includes a brief appearance of an Audrey Hepburn lookalike.
The only Deep Blue Something song that achieved a fraction of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" success was "Halo", also on the 'Home' album. This song reached no. 102 on the Billboard Hot 100.
After "Breakfast at Tiffany's", Deep Blue Something seemed set for a successful career, but the band failed to reproduce the magic of their single hit and struggled to even piece together another album. The problem was compounded by a lawsuit that threatened to sour the band's success. The lawsuit, filed by one Louis Bickel Jr., claimed copyright over "Breakfast at Tiffany's", which ultimately led to a bunch of songs on the band's last and final album being shelved. The lawsuit and the lack of further success was more than enough to cause Deep Blue Something to disband and part ways.
Deep Blue Something was a one hit wonder that had its moment of glory in the 1990s tumultuous rock scene. The band may have faded from public memory, but a single song – "Breakfast at Tiffany's", remains a popular tune many are still familiar with.

The 1997-98 financial crisis in Malaysia: causes, response, and results – A Rejoinder
AbstractThis rejoinder refutes the comments of Mohamed Ariff and Faiz Mohammad on the author's article: The 1997-98 Financial Crisis in Malaysia: Causes, Response, and Results", published in the Islamic Economic Studies, Vol. 9 No. 2, 2002. My basic difference with the reviewers is this: they maintain that weaknesses of the sort piling up in the economy over the years invited currency attack, while I have reasons to believe that it came to Malaysia independently of her fundamental, rather eroded them in its aftermath. This rejoinder provides further evidence on why I stick to this position regardless of the reviewers' comments.

Shoot featured here on Style Me Pretty!
I have a love affair with beautiful weddings!
I had a vision of a lavish soft mint green and emerald shabby chic French inspired wedding!
I also love to show brides what some of Brisbane's best vendors could do to make their wedding perfect.
So what next? It occurred to me that the amazing Begitta fashion designer was working on a new range of wedding dresses and they would be coming out this year — it would be a perfect time to get together. Begitta's style is dreamy, romantic and almost other worldly and perfect for what I had in mind!
I had worked with some amazingly talented people within the industry and thought we could combine Begitta's work with some of them. So I got to putting a team together.
The ladies' attire, wedding gown, bridesmaids dress and headpieces were all created by Begitta! Then the Wil Valor suite tied the entire look together.
Jo (Celebration Design Studio) and Kelly (Bella Bloom Floral Design) collaborated on the styling of the setting of the wedding, as well as their individual ares of stationery and florals. From dining tables to drinks they ensured the setting was as pretty as a picture.
Sherie (The Flour Girl) decided on a soft mint to tie in beautifully with the chosen colour palette. wanted to add subtle gold and bronze tones to the cake to add a touch of decadence whilst keeping overall style very feminine and pretty.
Kylie from Kylie's Professional is an amazing talent, and dedicated to making brides look the best on their day. She and her team created the perfect look for our bride and her girls with both hair and make-up.
I hope you will agree that what the team put together was just stunning!

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the right place for this kind of questions. Anyway, please let me know if I am in the wrong place.
Our company is planning a office move recently. Actually we are just moving upstairs in the same office building.
We are trying to move our business FiOS service as well without changing our current 29 static IP addresses package.
As we most of our static IP addresses are connected with multiple clients systems. It would be very inconvenient for us to change all the IPs and go back and forth with our clients' IT guys.
So we tried to contact FiOS customer support and keep our current IP addresses, but they told us this is not the way they handle service move. They can only set up a new account for me and assign some new IP addresses, which is not the way we want to go.
So has anyone had this situation before and succeeded keeping the old IP addresses?
Any inputs will be appreciated.

I don't understand your question.
What does the rest of your workout look like?
Last edited by Jorge Sanchez; 09-19-2008 at 08:50 AM.
A bit hard to answer, but how many reps do you want to do in your sets? Depending, then I'd guess 155-175, but you have to figure that one out, not us.
Don't forget all the rest of the body! That doesn't mean curls.
Give chalk a chance.
49 years old
665 squat
700 deadlift
325 bench
I believe I was repping 150-160 when I could bench 185-190.
22 - 5'10@236lbs!
Bench - 325 (old)
Squat - 455x2 (old)
Deadlift - 500(old)
Total: 1280lbs 100% raw
The key to my exercise program is this one simple truth: I hate my body.
its about feel more then anything, you should lift the bar off the rack and know by the feel of it whether it is too heavy etc, there are also some calculators out there that may benefit you.
Try 80%. If you can get to your desired set/rep scheme using 80% then add more weight or set/reps depending on your goals.

Makers of Khoobsurat remake starring Sonam Kapoor are apparently hunting for a castle in Rajasthan for the film's location
Looks like the makers of the 1980s Khoobsurat remake are planning to go big with their project. While the original Rekha starrer was set in an old bungalow, buzz is that the remake starring Sonam Kapoor will be shot in a Rajasthan palace.
A source close to Anil Kapoor, who is producing the project, says, `The makers want to make the film larger than life. The scale and the stakes will be much higher than the original. They are scouting for a location in Rajasthan.`

Homemade Wart Removal
Homemade Wart Removal works perfectly for people who want a cost effective ways of removing warts. This homemade folk remedies can be made from the mixture of herbal extracts, essential oils and other natural ingredients that have antiviral properties to cure and heal the warts. Homemade wart removal is also a recipe of natural wart removal ingredients that are proven to work in treating warts.
Generally most warts just go away even without treatment and because it is annoying no one can wait to see these warts go on their own. Parents who are concerned of the warts on their children want them removed. Children are often afraid of going to the doctors because they don't want pain, so parents tried Homemade Wart Removal instead.
If you want to use Homemade Wart Removal you can use them on external warts and do not use them on anal and genital warts. When should it not be used depends on the location and severity of the warts. Do not use Homemade Wart Removal to remove any skin growths other than common and external harmless warts. Warts are often mistaken for other skin infection and if you are not sure what type of growth you have, consult your doctor before using Homemade Wart Removal.
Homemade Wart Removal should not be used for skin that had been irritated and broken. If you have persistent warts in the anus, mouth and warts on mucous membranes avoid using Homemade Wart Removal. Homemade Wart Removal is not also advisable to be used for warts on the nose or near the eyes and to those patients who have other illnesses other than warts.
The easiest Homemade Wart Removal treatment is using aspirin dissolved in water, applied to the wart and covered with band-aid. Another Homemade Wart Removal is a cloth soaked in a mixture of baking soda and water then applied to the wart 3-4 times daily and secured with band-aid.
As mentioned if the warts persist and Homemade Wart Removal treatment do not heal the wart seek medical help and choose from conventional options such as cryotherapy, surgery, electro cauthery, laser therapy any others. These treatments can be painful but could help you relieve from the annoying effects of these warts. If you have plantar warts and Homemade Wart Removal treatment will not work anymore go for either treatments to resume your normal walking activities.

EDITORIAL: Last week the Auburn Trustee Selection Committee met and selected the candidates to be interviewed for the nine trustee slots available.
They selected 35 finalists from a total of 170 persons were nominated and completed the questionnaire process. There were a couple of surprises in the final list.
Surprises because at least two names represent the old problems that existed for many years on the board, folks with too many current attachments to the old regime. We think it is time to move on and add some new, positive energetic people to the board of trustees, shed the problems that have kept Auburn from being as great an institution as it can be.
Interviews will occur on Jan. 25 and Jan. 30 with final selections to be made in early February so we need to let the Governor hear from us about how we feel about trustee members and hold him accountable to lead the University into a more positive future.

Lake Buena Vista, Fla. – The biggest Brave stopped by spring training Monday, and Hank Aaron made it a point to walk through the clubhouse for what he said was the first time in 20 years.
"I've been in the clubhouse, but not during spring training," he clarified, adding that the sights and smells brought back memories. "I remember going through the clubhouse and my hands were bleeding and tired and everything was sore. But I kept right on going."
Aaron, 76, fielded questions on a wide range of topics including top prospect Jason Heyward, who could open the season for the Braves in right field, Aaron's old position.
Heyward, too, is a black Southerner — from McDonough, an Atlanta suburb. Aaron has voiced concern in the past about declining numbers of blacks in the majors, and the Braves haven't had more than one or two blacks on their roster in recent years.
He was asked if he was encouraged that Heyward could be the new face of the Braves.
"It's encouraging, but I'd like to see more," Aaron said. "I think we're on the right track, but it dampens my spirit when I come up to spring training and I look at the kids – I'm not talking about tomorrow, I'm talking about right now – and don't see any black kids….
"And this is a scene that you see all over the major leagues. This is not only with the Braves. You can go to any ballclub and you see the same thing… Something needs to be done about it."
There is no simple solution, he conceded.
"I'm trying to figure out what is being done," he said. "I don't know how [to fix it], really. The game of baseball is very expensive, that's number 1. It takes money for a kid to develop. Look at ballparks in Fulton County versus Buckhead. You're talking about a field [in Buckhead] that is manicured; coaches are there, equipment is there. You go to Southwest Atlanta … The parents just don't have the money to pay for it."
This wasn't what Aaron expected when he retired from playing at a time when blacks represented a much higher percentage of major league players.
"Black kids still play the game," he said. "Somewhere along the line you lose them, between the ages of 12 and 17. What happens is those kids migrate and start playing football. They go to college on football scholarships. Mothers and fathers, the black parents, don't have that kind of money to send kids to four years of college. A college scholarship, that's where they're going.
"There's a lot of reasons [for the decline]. But we've got to try to figure out what's the main reason and baseball has got to dip its hands in the pool and help out a little bit."
Among other topics he discussed were the current Braves, manager Bobby Cox's final season, and Mark McGwire and steroids.
• On Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson: "Oh, God, this kid has the world in front of him. If everything stays on par and he pitches the way I know he can pitch, I think the Braves have a bubbling superstar in their pitching. They already have [Jair] Jurrjens. I think this kid [Hanson] is going to do well. He's built like a pitcher; he's not big but he's big enough. He throws the ball very well and looks like he's got all the mechanics of being a great pitcher."
• On steroids in baseball: "I think baseball is cleaning up its act a little bit, I really do. I've said this, and I've repeated it over and over again: This is the most forgiving country in the world. If you come clean and tell the truth, you're going to be forgiven. The kid with the Yankees, [pitcher Andy] Pettitte, came out and it was a week of news, then after that it was over with. We all make mistakes. I'd like to see anybody who did enhancing drugs, whatever they did, they should come clean."
• On McGwire's recent steroids confession: "I would have loved to have seen him do it a long time ago. But since he did it, I think that he would tell you himself he's able to sleep at night, he's able to look at his teammates."
• On Cox's plans to retire as manager after the 2010 season: "Bobby's just been wonderful, not only to this organization and the city of Atlanta, he's been good for baseball…. You hate to see Bobby go. You know what he means to the organization, what he's done — championship after championship, and he's helped so many ballplayers. You hate to see somebody like that go. But we all have to change and keep moving."
• On advice for Heyward: "The advice I would give to any kid coming to the big leagues nowadays, is they have to remember this is the major leagues. Whether they're playing against St. Louis, Chicago – whatever team they're playing against, that's the best that that team has to offer. And if they go out there and go 0-for-4 or somebody gets a home run off them, remember that those kids are in the major leagues just like them. Profit from you mistakes. The next day, the next time, don't make the same mistake."
• On Heyward's minor league achievements: "Things like that don't impress me, minor league credentials, what a player does. The thing that impresses me is when a player gets to the major leagues, how well he adapts to the major leagues. I've seen a lot of guys come up that had great potential — and I'm not saying he's going to falter, by no stretch of the imagination; I think he's going to do well, but I don't get too excited until after I see them perform in the major leagues."
• On being considered the "People's Home Run Champ" by those who see Barry Bonds' record as tainted by his alleged use of steroids: "Regardless of what happens, I'm not going to hit another home run. That's all I'm going to hit. [Aaron laughs]. Not in this world. I may do it somewhere else, but right now that's the end of my [home runs]….
"You know you have people like — [to a Japanese reporter] are you from Japan? – from her hometown like Mr. Oh, Sadaharu Oh, who has 800 home runs. He did it right. He was great. Sometimes, you have to remember that you don't have to cheat in order to do something right. You can be successful in baseball, football, basketball, whatever you want to be. You just have to learn to do it right."

Hammerin Hank is a great guy. He is right, there seems to be a declining number of African American players these days. The Hispanic player count is up though, but that is a totally different story then what Hank is talking about.
Heyward is the future face of the Braves though, and I am sure he will make Hank proud in the process. I wish I could meet that baseball icon, he is in a class all of his own.

Aaron is simply one of the best ever, and his homer run total is not the most important thing about him. He's a wonderful man whose character was forged in a very hot furnace.

Hank will always be pure class and the homerun king and just maybe he will find us a good black lead off hitter
February 22nd, 2010

Still one of the most underrated players of all time. All time RBI leader. More than 3,700 hits. Good fielder. Ran well, though he didn't have to steal bases.
And a class act to boot. Well, since the Braves are looking for some corner outfield pop …. nah, let him enjoy retirement.

Class act. I think the race things is a bit overblown on the comments here.
Think of all the minor league teams, college teams, and independent leagues out there for baseball – thats a lot of people. In comparison, by sheer volume, its disheartening to see a small percentage of African Americans in baseball. Especially considering the proud and rich tradition that exists in this country for baseball for African Americans- before and after Jackie Robinson.
Besides, look at the message: its expensive to play baseball – fields, coaches, bats, balls, gloves. I think Hank is saying its expensive to play ball for many minorities. Basketball and soccer is cheap. Football is popular and more kids are drawn to it regardless of cost.
I think this is the same reason that baseball thrives in the Domincan and other South American countries. Similar to the popularity of football here in the USA, in those countries, baseball enjoys the same popularity so it is successful regardless of cost.

One of my favorite stats of all time is this: Take away all of the Real Home Run King's homers, and he's still got over 3,000 hits.
February 22nd, 2010
4:36 pm
I'm so sick of hearing about the lack of black players in MLB. Is it the braves responsibility to bring black players or is it to bring in the best players regardless of race? I would rather see a great braves team than one that has a proportionately acceptable (according to Hank) number of black players. How about we not bring affirmitive action into baseball? And football costs more to play than baseball. Well I guess it's ok to say stupid things if you hit a lot of home runs a long time ago.

I was at Braves camp this morning. It was really fun. Fans getting close to the players and signing was going on everywhere. I then heard a rumble in the stands and suddenly a rush of hundred of people to the area behind the Braves dugout. Hank Aaron was in the house. .It was like bees on honey. Kind of nice. Baseball Heaven. Braves and Hammering Hank
February 22nd, 2010
4:47 pm
I think Aaron's point is that he's disappointed more black kids aren't pursuing the highest levels of baseball in the same numbers as they used to. They have abandoned the sport in favor of basketball and football. And, he'd like to see MLB reach out to black kids to encourage them to reach the top levels of the sport. I don't see anything wrong with that.
February 22nd, 2010
4:47 pm
And I am so sick of hearing others complain about the honest opinions of a man that achieved more in 40 years that most of us will ever achieve in our lifetimes. Give it a rest, he has earned the right to voice his opinion, even if you don't agree with the message. Have you?

NBA Player & BravosfanInVa,
You miss the point about the declining number of black players in baseball. It is not, at least to me, a racial issue, it is a sport issue. Baseball is losing out to other sports on some of the best athletes—Aaron mentioned this in his comments, noting that the kids are switching to football (and basketball, although he didn't mention this). This isn't about affirmative action for black players, this is about baseball competing as a sport, versus other sports.
And NBA Player, for what it is worth, white players account for approximately 30% of NBA players, far more than black players account for baseball players (10.2% in 2009). But that isn't the point; aside from the racist wackadoodle who is trying to start an all-white basketball league, the issue isn't affirmative action, it is trying to get more kids to play the sport.

I think the the more immediate nickname concern is what Bobby is going to call him. "Jason Heyward" doesn't lend itself to any obvious 2 syllable, ending in "y" names. He got around Francoeur with "Frenchy" but this might be tougher.
February 22nd, 2010
4:52 pm
You know, when Hank finally passes away(hopefully a long time from now), I think you are going to see one of the biggest memorials ever done by MLB, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone doesn't start a movement to get the other records done by those steroided players at least asterisked. I know everyone hates the asterisk because of what it represented at the time, but maybe all those like bonds who now profit from being cheaters should have taken away.

February 22nd, 2010
4:53 pm
BravosfaninVA: For a black man with Aaron's entirely creditable history, I would think almost anyone would allow him his concerns for black youth. I know I certainly do. As for affirmative action, in this case it could take the form of supporting Little League in neighborhoods where it might not otherwise thrive. It's clear we have a major problem in our schools, but those problems start in communities where kids grow up in dysfunctional families and poverty. It simply isn't possible to reform education without improving the conditions in which those kids grow up. A strong baseball program would help many kids, and I know this to be true because of what it did for me. I'm a vanilla white guy, but I know a bargain when I see it, and baseball for our youngsters is a major good deal that coincidentally would result in more black players at the major league level.
February 22nd, 2010

Got to appreciate Hank's straight talk. Until JH performs to expectations on the big stage it's just buzz. He has the tools, now he'll have a chance to use them.

Come on guys with the race cards. All Aaron was doing was simply stating his own opinion that he would like to see more black kids in pro baseball. It would be no different if whites started dropping out of pro hockey and Wayne Gretzky made it known that he would like to see more white kids return to the sport.
Its not like he came out and said that the sport doesn't want black kids in the game, he is simply stating his desire to see more of his own color in the game. Nothing at all wrong with that.

NBA player – That whole "where are the white people in the NBA" thing? Yeah man, that's racist. No one would ever feel comfortable talking about that. Except sports illustrated, which did a cover story on the topic not more than a year ago. Grow up.
What I find more indicative of prejudice is that people can't even make that kind of comment without it being construed as racially charged by others. If you look at the content of the argument, the basis of it is mostly in the socio-economic backgrounds of the black communities in Atlanta and most major cities across the country. The fact that the kids are black is the common tie for the observation, not the basis for some racial crusade.
These (NBA Player & BravosfanInVa) are the same kinds of thought processes as people saying now that we have a black president, racism is dead in america. You know when racism will be dead? When no one is pointing out that the president is black, and when someone can say hey, this group of people (that happens to be black) is under-represented in the sport these days without people thinking he's on a soap box. I'm ready for the post-racism time when we can make comments like Hank's and not sound like we're ready to start a riot. It's something that bothers him and many others in the game, including I'd wager the commissioner, although I'm sure if an old white dude came out talking about a lack of black players, there would be those of you villifying him as well.

Latin American countries have more poverty than southwest Atlanta and those kids still play over pressure to play soccer and other sports. I coach T-Ball in Austell and we have plenty of black kids that can afford to buy a glove and use the coaches bat and helmets. The money thing is not the reason, I don't know what it is but it's not that. I bought a grown man's baseball glove for 25 dollars at Wal Mart, that's cheaper than the Under Armour that the highschool football players wear under the uniforms and about a 1/4 of the price of a pair of basketball sneakers. Maybe the fact that only 12.4 percent of the United States population is black is a better indicator of why only 8.2 percent of MLB players are black, about 30 percent of the league is latino compared to the U.S. population of 15.4.

F-105 Thunderchief:
I am with you on this one. I will be 58 years old in July and grew up idolizing Hank Aaron. Growing up, one of my classmates idolized Mays and he and I got in too many arguments to remember about whether Aaron or Mays would beat the Babe's record. At that time, Mays was quite a bit ahead of Aaron on the homerun list. I was a senior in college and my friend in the same class in another college. When Aaron hit the homer to pass the Babe, my friend tracked me down that very night to tell me I was right.
Hank Aaron was the best player ever. He was a better offensive player than Mays (who many mention as being better than Aaron) and was just as good defensively without being flamboyant. Aaron's accomplishments stand out because he played in what I refer to as the "Golden Age" of baseball (i.e. the era when baseball was finally fully integrated and before the talent became watered down like it is today with 30 teams).
One of the most amazing stats about Hank was that he hit almost the same amount of homers at home and on the road because he was a line drive hitter. This, of course, destroys the argument of some Aaron critics who claim he got "cheap" homers in the "Launching Pad".
So glad to see he came back to visit the clubhouse after all these years.

NBA Player,
If I were representing the Atlanta Braves at an NBA All-Star gala and former President George W. Bush were speaking at the event, and I introduced him as 'still the President of OUR United States,' would I be in some serious trouble? You bet I would.
Yet, when President Clinton came to Atlanta a few years back to speak at an event during the NBA All-Star weekend, that's how Mr. Aaron introduced him. A divise and offensive remark to many people in our city and our nation. And yet, nothing was ever made of it by the press.
I lost respect for Hank Aaron that day. I realize he endured a lot of unbelievable stuff when he was a player – stuff that no one should have ever had to go through. But that does not excuse such a blatant act of politically-motivated schismaticism.
February 22nd, 2010
5:42 pm
In addition to the stellar career, Henry Aaron went about his business in a humble and professional way. Given the horrendous threats, hate mail and taunts that he endured as he approached 714, it makes his accomplishments and professionalism all the more astonishing. MIlwaukee and Atlanta were very fortunate to have Hank Aaron as the face of the franchise for so long.
While I have admired Hank the ballplayer, he is not a particularly bright or effective executive. His second wife, Billye, seems to wind him up on various issues that he does not totally comprehend, which has made him sound rather ignorant and irrelevant over the years. Shut it Hank, and let us enjoy you for what you brought to the game as a player.
February 22nd, 2010
5:42 pm
Move onto the more important stuff, like Heyman saying the Braves have interest in LOAF. That's scary…
February 22nd, 2010

But let me say that I do think he was the greatest ever and he is my choice as the homerun king of all time. An honest, hard-working professional baseball player who played by the rules!

Well said man. Wish we could live in a world like that.

I like how Aaron is staying away from contributing to the perpetual hype that is swirling around Jason Heyward. The kid has plenty to live up to. It's starting to seem like if he doesn't produce at Aaron's level some people will be disappointed. Though I can't blame people for wanting to hype him. He's a special kind of prospect and he makes it fun to think about the future of the Braves.
February 22nd, 2010

how hout heyieee
February 22nd, 2010
6:02 pm
All I know is I can't wait to finally have a real outfield again, Heyward is the real deal and he will be for years to come, he actually has a handle on his fundamentals unlike another RF we used to have who name I wish would escape me. McLouth will have a big bounce back year and Matt Diaz's second half of 2009 was no fluke with Melky more than capable to be a fill in where needed, he wont knock it out but he'll get on base and drive in runs. Frank Wren, if he wants to have a job next year needs to lock down this young core though, Escobar, McLouth,Hanson,Jurrjens all need to have long term deals maybe Prado depending on this year.
Think about the future with those players locked down, and get Heyward locked down if he performs. You have Freeman coming in at 1b next year and Mike Minor, Tehan, and Arodys Vizcaino, so the rotation will just reload as Hudson, Lowe, and Kawakami retire. Your core going into 2012 of Heyward, Freeman, Hanson, Jurrjens, McLouth, Schaffer, possibly Prado and Medlen would be by far the best young foundation in Baseball, similar to the payoff the Phillies are enjoying with Howard, Utley, Hamels, Happ etc.. Wait two years to judge Frank Wren if he locks this group down he will have the best team in Baseball.

You need to do your math again there about the amount of white people in the NBA. The NBA is 76% black and only 20% white. Now take out all of the white European and Canadian guys and see how many white Americans actually play in the NBA. I like basketball, I played the sport in high school and I was the one white guy on the team every year. It was rare when we played a team that had more than one white players and I kept playing. So I don't feel bad at all for black baseball players who might be the only player on the team. If you really want to feel isolated try being a hispanic or Asian kid playing football or basketball you are literally all alone. It would be cool if more black kids played baseball but if they don't want to or can't afford to, oh well.
February 22nd, 2010
6:25 pm
Y'all remember Aaron's comment about minor-league prospects:
"I don't get too excited until after I see them perform in the major leagues."
Heyward's 20 years old; he might not be ready for the big leagues, especially might not be ready to be the savior a lot of people expect him to be.
I think he'll hit for a high average with lots of doubles, a fair amount of HR's, & that he'll play great defense in RF–but it might be another year, even two, before he's ready to do all that.

I would love to see more talented black American kids in baseball. But let's get real here. African Americans are less than 13 percent of the total U.S. population and falling. Black people will be a much less significant force in American culture and sports going forward. The population is shifting Hispanic. That's true in baseball and in America overall. It's just a demographic fact.

May be a poor analogy but weeds grow fast and die out quickly. I'd be fine with slow steady growth from JH. I understand that he has his head on straight but success translated money has some strange effects on those not equipped to deal with what it brings, Ask Tiger about that. JH is special, so please go slow.
February 22nd, 2010
6:51 pm
The next era of superstars has to come from somewhere, I am hoping JH leads the way. I do have to disagree w/ Hank when he says baseball is too expensive. Others have mentioned the same thing; baseball equipment is cheap compared to all the gear todays football players where. I mean a glove treated properly can last a lifetime. Ask Craig Biggio.
Anyway, Go Braves! Fire Blewitt!

Any one that is a citizen of Georgia that has a "B" average in high school can get a free college education. Did I say anyone? Black kids too! There are less blacks in baseball now because they are choosing football and basketball. I guess we should force them to choose baseball? Aaron was a great player about 50 years ago and black players were in the minority then also. By the way players are being drafted right out of high school to a baseball contract… there is no requirement that they ever spend a single day in college.
February 22nd, 2010

Baseball is to expensive – I do agree with Aaron on this. By that I mean that there should be a salary cap on pro baseball just like football and basketball. $40 million salaries are ridiculous.

In reference to the comment about the players in Latin America in spite of the poverty. This is fact one of the issue's touched on by Hank(and others) in the past. He takes issue with the amount of money and resources given by MLB toward player development in the Latin countries compared to the very small investment made by MLB in the inner cities. The feeling is that perhaps MLB should make such investsment in our youth.. especially in the inner cities.
I'm just saying…………………

I find it interesting that even with someone of Hank Aaron's stature, you still have the idiots who have to scream race – or politics – because of either their ignorance or their sensitivity.
The article is about and with one of the greatest ballplayers of all time, who we were very lucky to have in Atlanta. His words speak truth because of his life, his witness, and his accomplishments.
I still remember, all these years later, as a 12 year old boy, listening to the WSB broadcast in 1968 when he hit his 500th home run. And I remember his many other accomplishments as well.
But what I remember most is his character. He did his job, did it to the best of his ability, and was a living witness to what one could become. His dignity and character – along with his meteoric accomplishments – shine brightly today. He was a man, in the truest sense of the word, and I'm grateful that we got to see him pass this way.

Actually, per ESPN's Outside the Lines from earlier this season, the NBA is 71.8% Black, 9.9% White American, and 18.3% international, with the overwhelming majority of the international players being white europeans. That is approximately 30% white, which is what I said originally. Again, the issue is not (as some have thought, I recall an article somewhere recently) whether players of a certain race have trouble fitting in; it is whether baseball is losing out to other sports in getting kids to grow up playing the game. This isn't black vs. white, this is baseball vs. football vs. basketball.

Hank Aaron is the best. He's earned the right to state his opinion about baseball no matter what. As far as I'm concerned, he's still the all time home run champ. Hank made several great points especially the frank one about the irrelevance of minor league stats.
As for the reasons for the declining participation in baseball among African-American kids, I'd say there are several. Ones I'd point to are that
a) generational thing as folks 40 and older grew up during a time when baseball was truly the national past-time
b) basketball is far easier to go out and play anytime as you only need a ball and shoes to play (with a backboard and hoops easy to find)
c) only need one other person to compete against to get a basketball game going
d) baseball not as interesting to watch on television as football and basketball and that causes disinterest among many kids in taking up and sticking with the game.
e) Not really sure its the expense as much as it is the time required that makes it a challenge for parents to have their kids play baseball regularly although club team participation is very expensive
f) kids today have so many options for after-school and sports participation so baseball is competing a huge numbers of things
Why does it matter that fewer African-American kids play baseball? Mainly because if you play baseball as a kid, like I did, you are more likely to become a fan of the sport, watch it on TV, and go to games because playing helps you to appreciate it and not find it boring to watch on TV or in person and baseball needs all the fans it can get so it remains relevant.
