Electronic Music + Progressive Soul. From WDET Detroit.
Ed Deeb, founder of Metro Detroit Youth Day.
Organizers of this year's Metro Detroit Youth Day say they expect more than 30-thousand children to gather Wednesday on Belle Isle for a day of fun and games. The annual event began more than 30 years ago as a response to deadly confrontations between young people and Detroit store owners in the summer of 1980. Youth Day Founder Ed Deeb tells WDET's Pat Batcheller that violence led to a meeting with then-Mayor Coleman Young. Click on the audio link above to hear the conversation.

...you amaze me
more... i heard
your passion
pigmenting new desire
as sweet as grapes
on summer breeze
to glimpse of sunshine
when dry leaves
separate from vines
gently fluttering to gravity
unwilling to touch ground
i focus my eyes on you
looking at your inner soul
finding my way deep
that only you
could keep
but i insist
you're remarkable

Full-body scanners -- those that show people's private parts -- amount to a virtual strip search, EU lawmakers decided Thursday as concerns about citizens' privacy trumped a debate on security.
A body scanner in use on a male passenger at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport
A plan to introduce full-body scanners at airports throughout the EU was voted down by a margin of 361 to 16 with 181 abstentions in the European Parliament Thursday.
Saying that the scanners "have a serious impact on the fundamental rights of citizens", the lawmakers voted on a non-binding resolution asking the bloc's executive European Commission to carry out an economic, medical and human rights assessment of the impact of using full-body scanners.
Body scanners use radio waves to display full-body images that reveal whether passengers are concealing weapons or explosives under their clothes.
The Commission proposed last month that the scanners be added to a list of security measures that can be used at airports in the 27-country bloc. The EU Commission says the proposal is meant to harmonize the conditions in which they can be operated.
The scanners are already in use at London's Heathrow and Amsterdam's Schiphol airports to speed up security checks and to avoid hand-frisking passengers.
"A serious breach of fundamental rights"
While the European Parliament resolution does not call for an outright ban on such scanners, some EU lawmakers said they found them unacceptable.
The scanner is touted as a faster alternative to body searches
"I think this is an offense against human dignity. Using this technology does not make us safer," said the leader of the assembly's Socialist group, Martin Schulz.
"These devices allow one to see genitals, if a woman has big or small breasts," said German Social Democrat lawmaker Wolfgang Kreissl-Doerfler, during debate on the topic.
He said the idea was proof of the "paranoia of interior ministers" when it comes to the question of fighting terrorism.
Green MEP Eva Lichtenberger said the machines could be a "serious breach of fundamental rights and the defense of human dignity. It seems that there is no real effort to see whether they really increase security."
A voluntary way to speed up security screening
European Commission spokesman Jens Mester disagreed, however, saying that fears concerning the EU executive's proposal were exaggerated.
"The body will indeed be pictured," he said. "But the quality is more that of a negative of a photograph, it is not a very clear image but sufficient to detect metal things, explosives or strange objects."
Ahead of the debate, EU Transport Commissioner Antonio Tajani likewise insisted that people would not be forced to go through them.
"The body scanner will never be made obligatory. It's an alternative to hand searches," he said, adding that the images "would not be recorded and never stored" on a database.
He said the machines could help shorten security lines at airports, and that personally he found body searches to be more invasive than the machines.
"But everyone is free to choose," he said.
The European Commission agreed to a plan to collect fingerprints and photographs from foreigners entering the EU, part of an effort to fortify the bloc's borders. (13.02.2008)
Germany is a 16-state affair. But when it comes to working out finances, they quickly devolve into a family of squabblers. Reforming the system to reduce the number of states is long overdue, says DW's Volker Wagener.
Ukrainians are preparing to go to the polls in snap elections that are expected to dramatically change the make-up of the country's parliament. Polls put incumbent President Petro Poroshenko's bloc in the lead.
The German author and poet Jürgen Becker has been presented with the Georg Büchner Prize, one of the most important literary awards for the German language. Becker received the prize for his lifetime achievement.
The Picasso museum in Paris has reopened following a renovation which took more than twice as long as scheduled. The official ceremony took place on what would have been the famed artist's 133rd birthday.

Title: Is there a Salvia azurea var. alba?
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Is there a Salvia azurea var. alba?
ANSWER:Apparently not. The USDA Plants Database shows, besides Salvia azurea, Salvia azurea var. azurea and Salvia azurea var. grandiflora. Salvia azurea var. grandiflora has three synonyms listed for it—Salvia azurea var. intermedia, Salvia azurea var. pitcheri, and Salvia pitcheri.
If you search the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) for "Salvia azurea", you will find Salvia azurea, Salvia azurea var. azurea and Salvia azurea var. grandiflora listed as accepted names. Salvia azurea var. intermedia, Salvia azurea var. pitcheri, and Salvia pitcheri are listed as synonyms (and therefore not accepted names) for Salvia azurea var. grandiflora.

Thanks to artificial turf, Toronto beginning to look like Teletubbyland
Chemgrass becoming increasingly common on our playing fields, but trend is spreading to sidewalks, schools and parks.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
Parts of the GTA have begun to look like the set of Teletubbies, the children's television program where green toddler-like aliens bounced around Teletubbyland, a strange blend of real animals roaming an artificial landscape of padded and perfect ultra-vivid green lawns. Here, our artificially covered playing fields are similar; we just have more raccoons scurrying about.
At one time artificial turf was only found in a few places, like the Astrodome, the covered Houston stadium that found it couldn't grow natural grass indoors in 1966, lending the first mass-marketed artificial surface, originally called "Chemgrass," its famous name. The turf then spread to other stadiums, domed or not, including our own SkyDome (now the Rogers Centre), and today artificial surfaces produced by a variety of manufacturers are creeping onto everyday playing surfaces in schoolyards and city parks everywhere.
A recent high-profile turf war over the University of Toronto's plan to install it on the back campus playing field for the upcoming Pan Am games saw many people rallying behind the existing natural surface. Today the field resembles an Amazonian clear-cut, with bulldozers scraping back the soil.
Once complete, the artificial turf here will join a long roster of Teletubby landscapes. The new sports fields near Cherry Beach are perhaps the biggest carpeted area in the city, and there are artificial surfaces at individual pitches and football fields at Earlscourt Park, Weston Lions Park, Esther Shiner Stadium, and Centennial Stadium.
High schools, from private Upper Canada and St. Michael's Colleges, to those in the separate and public systems like North Toronto Collegiate and Father Henry Carr, all have artificially turfed football fields now.
The trend is not just institutional, as residential homeowners have even started to install fake lawns, whether downtown postage-stamp yards or expansive suburban lots. Even our sidewalks are not immune. Go for a stroll along Queen St. E., in Riverside, or along Bloor West Village and updated versions of Chemgrass have appeared where mulch or a flower patch might have surrounded trees before.
There may be genuinely good reasons for artificial turf in some places, like around street trees that have a tough time surviving and need some tougher protection. The argument for playing fields is the season can be longer and maintenance issues are reduced. Yet with so much of our open land being covered up, environmental concerns including rainwater runoff, heat island effect, and a reduction in air filtering and oxygen production that plant life affords have risen. With green roofs being encouraged and installed across the region to naturalize more of our hard surfaces, artificial turf seems like a step backwards. BMO Field, home to the Toronto FC, even replaced their artificial turf with grass.
Apart from these concerns, has the ethos of sport changed so much over the years that artificiality is now the desired state of the playing field?
Though arguing against artificial turf runs the risk of being beholden to nostalgia or sounding like an annoying "Back in my day…" lecture, there indeed was something noble about mud-covered athletes who played no matter the conditions.
The great thing about sport is adaptability and the ability of the body to figure out conditions on the fly. Baseball is particularly interesting because of the idiosyncrasies in stadium design, with "Green Monsters" and varying distances in outfields to contend with. A muddy track is a celebrated game changer in horse racing, when the "mudders" prevail. Recall the Olympic athletes that dealt with the high altitude and thinner air of the Mexico City games in 1968 or the Los Angeles smog in 1984. Even the Jays had seagulls, wind, and cold temperatures to contend with at the old Exhibition Stadium. All were a triumph of humans over obstacles.
During a recent conversation, a supporter of artificial turf argued that "the ball goes where you kick it" on soccer pitches now. Is it just about precision and predictability then?
At the same time the back campus debate was happening, concern was mounting over the upcoming Winter Olympics in Russia, where anti-gay laws and rhetoric are creating a human rights crisis for LGBT people there.
"Sport is not political," was a common response I heard.
It's a curious position given how political the Pan Am games have become, whether it's turf issues or budgetary spending, the latter being addressed by both the mayor and premier of late.
Sports and sport policy is inherently political and always has been. The Black Power salute at those 1968 games and Jesse Owens standing on Hitler's podium in 1936 remain indelible images.
The notion that athletes are innocents who float in an apolitical Tellytubby-like land is insulting to their intelligence. Athletes should be thought of as the best we've got, able to deal with physical obstacles, such as mud, and as champions who themselves champion our best human ideals, such as freedom.
Why else would we want to play all these games?

Jay Iszo, a psychological business consultant known as the Internet Doctor, has a new book out called Got Social Mediology? Using Psychology to Master Social Media Without Spending a Dime. Iszo says that rather than engaging in paid-for, broadcast-style advertising, companies must understand the importance of understanding the psychology of the user, respecting the cultural nuances of each social media platform, and focusing on creating authentic relationships. EContent interviewed Iszo about his approach to social media marketing.

One of my friends gave me a very gorgeous beachbag for my b-day, as you can see in the pic, designed and sewn by her. So, I decided to make a dress to complete my summer look. I used pattern no. 2 one-piece side drape top from the book Drape drape 2. Even though this garment is classified as a top in the book, the length of the pattern is enough to make a dress. The fabric used was silk knit. The only thing that I changed is the armholes and neckline hemming. The book gives instructions to make a double-fold tape with a tape maker using the stretch material but I just simply finished the armholes and neckline with a threefold edge-stiched seam. This dress/top was very easy to make and gives a chic touch to my beach look.
The beachbag is made by TelojuroXmibolso check her blog: http://telojuroxmibolso.blogspot.com.es/
Stretch material W150 cm x L110 cm
Pattern: no.2 one-piece side drape top.

Battle over "craft beer" definition spills over
Send this to a friend
- Ed Sealover
- Reporter- Denver Business Journal
- Email | Facebook | Twitter | Capitol Business blog
The simmering battle between small and large brewers over what defines "craft beer" blew up Thursday after officials from Boulder's Brewers Association (BA) accused major brewers of trying to ride the coattails of the craft-beer trend through misleading marketing of their products.
In an editorial that ran in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, three BA leaders wrote that companies like Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors are "capitalizing on the unprecedented growth of the sector to produce a faux-craft beer" and trying to sell it to lovers of locally made brews. The piece called out Blue Moon Belgian Wheat Beer, which was developed at Coors Field and is made partially in Coors Brewing's Golden plant, and Shock Top, an A-B InBev product developed at the company's Fort Collins plant.
Paul Gatza, BA director, said in an interview that the new publicity effort has been sparked by major brewers, such as Blue Moon master brewer Keith Villa, claiming that they make the most popular craft beers in America. The BA defines a craft brewery as one that produces less than 6 million barrels of beer a year and that has less than 25 percent of the company owned by an alcoholic beverage company that is not a craft brewery.
"Our members for years have been somewhat angry that they feel the large breweries are advertising themselves misleadingly," Gatza said. "It misleads retailers into thinking they've got their craft beer section covered when they put in Leinenkugel's or Shock Top ... It matters on shelf space. Craft beer is growing excellently now but craft beer could be selling more."

Adrenalina raised its bid from $4.50 to $5.00 for PacSun today. The move was quickly rejected by PacSun.
Here are the releases:
Adrenalina Raises Offer for Pacific Sunwear to $5.00 Per Share
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Adrenalina (OTCBB: AENA - News), a retail entertainment destination designed for extreme sports enthusiasts, today announced that it has resubmitted its proposal to the Board of Directors of Pacific Sunwear of California Inc. (Nasdaq: PSUN; "PacSun") to enter into negotiations aimed at acquiring that company at an increased price of $5.00 per share, or an aggregate of approximately $329 million, in a combination of cash and stock.
Adrenalina's increased acquisition offer represents a premium of 67% above the closing price of PacSun common shares on October 28, 2008. The proposed purchase price per share is tiny_mce_marker.50 or 11% higher than Adrenalina's original offer of $4.50 per share announced on October 20, 2008. The offer is subject to PacSun's Board and shareholders approval, execution of a definitive agreement, obtaining the requisite financing and certain other terms and conditions.
Adrenalina noted that it has identified strategic partners, wealthy individuals and institutional investors who have expressed a strong interest as well as commitments in providing the requisite financial support to finalize the transaction.
"I call on the PacSun Board of Directors to act in the best interests of their shareholders by engaging in discussions with Adrenalina to implement our proposal. We believe their Board acted hastily and without full consideration in rejecting our earlier offer. Instead of enhancing shareholder value, PacSun's share price has declined 20% since October 17, the day prior to our original offer, which represents a loss of more than $45 million in market value. We urge the Board now to take this opportunity to execute its fiduciary duty," said Ilia Lekach, Chairman and CEO of Adrenalina.
"Our first offer was received well by those who want to participate in the acquisition," continued Mr. Lekach. "We remain excited about the potential to create value by reinvigorating the PacSun brand through a combination of Adrenalina's innovative lifestyle retailing concepts with PacSun's established brand and extensive store footprint."
The full text of Adrenalina's letter to the PacSun CEO and Board of Directors is attached.
Pacific Sunwear's response:
Pacific Sunwear of California Rejects Adrenalina's Unsolicited Revised Proposal
Wednesday October 29, 1:48 pm ET
ANAHEIM, Calif., Oct. 29, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. (NasdaqGS:PSUN - News) announced today that its board of directors has determined that the unsolicited revised proposal received from Adrenalina (OTC BB:AENA.OB - News), a retail-entertainment company currently operating three stores in Florida, to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Pacific Sunwear is not in the best interests of the Company's shareholders. The Company's management, with the full support of the board, is committed to executing on their strategic plan to create long-term shareholder value.

Catholic Recipe: Cranberry Pie
A cranberry pie is a unique way to include traditional cranberries at the Thanksgiving or Christmas meal. This is a two-crust pie, with the top crust done in a lattice or criss-cross design. Making the pie pastry from scratch will increase the preparation time.
Combine sugar, cinnamon, flour, and salt. Add water; mix well. Add cranberries. Cook slowly until skins pop open, stirring occasionally. Add orange peel and butter or margarine. Line 9-inch pie pan, using half the pastry. Roll out remaining pastry; cut in strips 1/2 inch wide. Pour fruit mixture in pie pan. Make crisscross pattern over top with pastry strips. Seal edges; trim and flute. Bake at 400° for 40 to 45 minutes.Recipe Source: Cook's Blessings, The by Demetria Taylor, Random House, New York, 1965

Body of missing S. Korean shipping tycoon found
South Korean police said Tuesday that a badly decomposed body found surrounded by liquor bottles in a field last month was that of a fugitive billionaire businessman blamed for April's ferry disaster that killed more than 300 people.
Associated Press
South Korean police said Tuesday that a badly decomposed body found surrounded by liquor bottles in a field last month was that of a fugitive billionaire businessman blamed for April's ferry disaster that killed more than 300 people.
The body was found in a field of apricot trees in the southern city of Suncheon on June 12, local police station chief Wu Hyung-ho told a news conference. He said DNA and fingerprint samples taken from the body matched those of the wanted man, Yoo Byung-eun.
Wu said the body had decayed beyond recognition when it was found and a more thorough examination was needed to find how and when he died. An initial investigation showed there was no evidence that he was murdered, he said.
The dead man was wearing a pair of expensive shoes and a luxurious Italian brand Loro Piana winter parka. Also found near him were three empty Korean liquor bottles, a cloth bag and a magnifying glass, Wu said.
The state-run National Forensic Service took about 40 days to run the DNA tests. Suncheon police officers said the lab will conduct additional tests to find the cause and timing of Yoo's death.
Police and prosecutors have been seeking Yoo since May and had offered a $500,000 reward for tips about him. They believe Yoo was the owner of the ferry and that his alleged corruption may have contributed to its sinking.
The sinking, one of South Korea's deadliest disasters in decades, has caused an outpouring of national grief and renewed scrutiny about public safety. About 100 days after the disaster, 294 bodies have been retrieved but 10 people are still missing.
Prosecutors said Monday that 139 people had been arrested over the ferry sinking, including all 15 crew members tasked with navigating the ship, and employees at Chonghaejin, a company that operated the ferry, over suspicions of improper stowage and overloading of cargo. The crew members face charges of negligence and failing to perform their duties to rescue passengers, with four of them facing homicide charges.
Yoo faced allegations of tax evasion, embezzlement and professional negligence. Officials suspect the sinking may have happened because Chonghaejin illicitly funneled profits to his family and failed to spend enough money on safety and personnel.
Yoo, head of the now-defunct predecessor of Chonghaejin, allegedly still controlled the company through a complex web of holding companies in which his children and close associates are large shareholders. The government offered a $100,000 bounty for Yoo's eldest son, and one of his daughters was arrested in France in May.
The predecessor company went bankrupt in the late 1990s but Yoo's family continued to operate ferry businesses under the names of other companies, including one that eventually became Chonghaejin.
Yoo is also a member of a church that critics and defectors say is a cult. Yoo's church made headlines in 1987 when 32 people, who critics suspect were church members, were found dead in the attic of a factory near Seoul in what authorities said was a collective murder-suicide pact. Church members have denied involvement.
Yoo was investigated over the deaths after a probe into the dead people's financial transactions showed some of their money was funneled to him. He was cleared of suspicions that he was behind the suicides because of a lack of evidence, but was convicted on a separate fraud charge.
Associated Press writer Jung-yoon Choi contributed to this report.

Convenient location opposite the station. Staff very helpful in changing room when asked to do so.
First floor room very hot & noisy. Room had no air-con so needed to open windows during late "Indian summer". This made sleep impossible due to constant noise from trams/busses & General traffic below. Wi fi didn't work at all in first floor room.
Friendly and helpful staff. Strong WiFi signal Air con in the room Close to the railway station Easy access to the town
The lone caged bird made us feel unhappy.
Bad English in all information points in the town. The driver of tourist bus didn't spoke English!
Breakfast was good and very convenient. Room was clean and quiet with windows closed (construction outside and train station were not a problem with windows closed). Hotel very quiet. Great location, easy to find, parking is a great deal. Very helpful staff at front desk. Thankful for air conditioning!

Singapore Airlines maintains passenger load at 81.5% in June
Publication Date : 16-07-2014
National carrier Singapore Airlines maintained a passenger load factor of 81.5 per cent in June.
Its revenue passenger kilometres fall of 1.4 per cent was negated by a 1.3 per cent reduction in capacity.
The number of passengers carried inched up by 0.9 per cent to 1.6 million.
Passenger traffic improved for East Asia and South West Pacific due to better demand, while passenger load factor for West Asia and Africa improved due to capacity reduction.
As the operating environment remains challenging, capacity will be adjusted accordingly to better match market demand.
Promotional activities are also expected continue in markets that require additional support, which will compress yields.
Subsidiary SilkAir's systemwide passenger carriage increased 2.3 per cent against 3 per cent increase in capacity.
As a result, its passenger load factor for June eased by 0.5 percentage point to 72.7 per cent.
The change in passenger carriage lagged capacity growth in East Asia and Pacific region, while capacity adjustment in West Asia region led to an increase in passenger load factor.
Overall cargo load factor improved marginally by 0.1 percentage point to 62.7 per cent.
Cargo traffic was 3.7 per cent lower on the back of 3.8 per cent fall in capacity.
Load factors on all route regions were lower, except for Americas and West Asia & Africa, where the capacity changes were more closely matched with that of demand.

Originally written on Project Spurs | Last updated 10/21/14
The San Antonio Spurs have announced they've assigned Nando De Colo and Aron Baynes to the Austin Toros again. [Press release] Spurs assign Baynes and De Colo to @austintoros: http://j.mp/WtfWda #GoSpursGo (@spurs) Both players haven't seen much court time this season even with injuries on the roster. Cory Joseph got recalled from Austin to take Parker's place and a returning Gary Neal has taken the backup point guard minutes so far. Baynes has played decent in the few minutes he's gotten, but didn't get much time when Tim Duncan suffered an injury either. These assignments are sure to keep them in shape and ready to be called upon if Gregg Popovich needs them to spot the stars some rest in the coming playoff push.

Maybach Music Group - God Is Great
Artist: Maybach Music Group
Featuring: Rockie Fresh
Producer: Boi-1da and The Maven Boys
Album: Self Made Vol. 3
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 7 votes )
An oft-quoted line from from the Book of Matthew states that you can't serve God and mammon at the same time, but Rockie Fresh sees things a little differently. In the Maybach Music Group signee's eyes, the ballooning number in his bank account is direct proof that God Is Great. On the lead single off MMG's junior compilation album, the Windy City representative thanks the heavens for the financial rewards of his hustle, as well as the fame and female attention that come with rap superstardom. Boi 1da and The Maven Boys provide a booming synth beat to back Rockie's pious, yet swag-laden rhymes. Does this caked-up street banger have you praising the Lord? Then keep your browsers locked for more fresh song releases leading up to the August release of Self Made Vol. 3.

Classes can be any day of the week (even weekends) in the morning, afternoon or evening.
In certain circumstances, if your home or office is not suitable, you can take your classes at the trainer's office. All course materials are provided.
We will be happy to offer a free language consultancy before the start of your language training course. This normally takes the form of a telephone conversation in which your specific language training requirements are discussed. We talk about the business situations in which you might be required to use your new language skills, and what work-specific terminology you would like to be able to use in the target language. We can also advise on the best method of learning for you to achieve your goals, and then design a language training course which will enable you to achieve them.
Angelica my trainer did a good job bringing business/office related terms, phrases, and practice into the lessons and incorporating them with general learning.
Our German courses in Lake Forest are taught on a one-on-one basis and will help you improve your business communication skills immensely. You will receive a solid grounding in basic business etiquette and greetings before moving on to look at other subjects which could help further your career. You will feel more in control of your career once you know that dealing with German speaking business people is no longer going to be a problem for you.
With our German courses in Lake Forest we will help you unlock your learning potential and learn what you need in order to fulfill your dreams. The requirements of the student are paramount: after dealing with the rudimentary German concepts and greetings, the course outline depends entirely on what the student needs. Ideal for those studying for an examination in German as well as people heading abroad for a variety of reasons, our general one-to-one courses cover student-specific subjects as well as survival German, allowing the user to communicate proficiently in German speaking nations.
Students will also find German courses in Lake Forest which are suitable when they want to study with a group of friends or work colleagues. These are offered as Two-to-One German courses or as In-Company Small Group German courses. The students who are in the group should be at the same level, have the same learning needs and be able to attend their classes in the same place at the same time. The bookings should all be carried out at the same time too. This type of approach is ideal for up to 8 German students. Bigger groups than this can still be catered for, with a maximum of 12 able to take part in an In-Company Taster German course.

Amid student crisis, Charest's chief of staff out, old aide back in

MONTREAL—In the midst of a social crisis, Premier Jean Charest is replacing his most senior aide and bringing back a right-hand man with a reputation for steady competence.
Daniel Gagnier is being brought back after three years away from politics and is returning to his old position as chief of staff.
His is apparently being given a mandate to kick-start negotiations with student groups and seek a resolution to the unrest plaguing the province, before tourists flock to Montreal for festival season.
Gagnier has previously been a high-ranking civil servant in Ottawa and Saskatchewan and was also chief of staff to Ontario premier David Peterson. Outside politics, he has worked in mining, clean energy and university governance.
His previous stint in the premier's office coincided with an era when Charest was at his most popular — from 2007 to 2009.
At a time when Charest had a steady hold on power, Gagnier left a senior position at Alcan to work with him and he remained with the premier while he led a minority government; he left after Charest won another majority government.
Since Gagnier's departure, the Charest government has been rocked by ethics scandals and now by the student-led unrest. An election is expected within months.
The Canadian Press has learned that Gagnier has already been heavily involved in recent weeks, having offered his help as a volunteer.
He replaces Charest's previous senior aide, Luc Bastien.

Jake Stinnett Rumors
Cubs Sign Jake Stinnett
The Cubs announced via press release that they have signed second-round right-hander Jake Stinnett. Stinnett was selected with the No. 45 overall pick. The Cubs also announced that they have signed fourth-round left-hander Carson Sands, fifth-round lefty Justin Steele, and seventh-round right-hander James Norwood. The Cubs inked Stinnett to a $1MM deal, $250K under the suggested slot for the No. 45 pick, tweets Jim Callis of MLB.com.
Stinnett, 22, posted a 2.67 ERA in 16 starts and one relief appearance in his senior year for Maryland. The 6'4″ hurler struck out a school single-season record and Atlantic Coast Conference-high 132 batters and walked just 30. Stinnett also became the seventh pitcher in program history to throw a no-hitter when he shut down Massachusetts on March 1st.
ESPN.com's Keith Law (Insider sub. req'd) rated Stinnett as the No. 51 prospect in this year's class while Baseball America had him as the 67th best prospect and MLB.com had him pegged at No. 72.
