TAMPA, Fla. -- A week and a half ago, a struggling 31-year-old rookie pitcher left the Yankees' training camp in Tampa and drove across the causeway to watch his idol pitch.
When he climbed into that car, Jose Contreras had a spring-training ERA of 16.88. So no wonder he was looking for inspiration. And no one was more suited to provide it than a man who once had walked in Contreras' spikes -- Orlando (El Duque) Hernandez.
"He's a great pitcher," Contreras says of his Cuban countryman, El Duque. "But he's a better person."
Five months after his defection, six weeks after signing with the Yankees, Contreras watched El Duque throw three nearly perfect shutout innings for the Expos that day. And as Contreras watched, he could feel himself turning a very significant corner.
"I saw how relaxed and easy he was throwing," Contreras says. "I'd been pitching with a lot of pressure, a lot of anxiousness. But to see how relaxed he was ... it was like he was playing a computer game."
A few days after watching and visiting with El Duque, Contreras went out and pitched five overpowering innings against the Devil Rays. He allowed two hits, hit 96 mph on the radar guns and finally commanded his biting slider and dancing forkball.
Where he goes from here, no one knows yet. But if he turns into the top-of-the-rotation starter the Yankees envision him to be, he will do more than prove he was worth the 32 million American dolares the Yankees will pay him over the next four years:
More important, he will prove that Cuban pitchers as a whole can still be worth all the time and money that has been spent -- and largely wasted -- on them over the last decade.
Since 1993, when a Cuban pitcher named Rene Arocha defected and eventually reached the big leagues with the Cardinals, a dozen Cuban-born pitchers have pitched in the major leagues. They're a combined nine games under .500.
But if you subtract El Duque, who is 53-38 lifetime, the other 11 are a combined 24 games below .500. And the only one in the group with a career ERA under 4.00 is Indians closer Danys Baez, at 3.96.
"At this point," says Mike Arbuckle, the Phillies' assistant GM for scouting and player development, "we'd have to think twice about making a large commitment to a Cuban pitcher, just because we're concerned about the track record. Maybe El Duque was what he was advertised to be -- at least in the short term. But by and large, none of these guys has reached the ceiling he was advertised to have."
Oh, Livan Hernandez did have a spectacular October for the Marlins in 1997. Rolando Arrojo won 14 games for the 1998 Devil Rays and finished in the top 10 in the league in ERA. Ariel Prieto was once a No. 1 draft pick in Oakland. Baez and Florida's Vladimir Nunez may still have a dominating future in short relief.
But in general, considering the dollars lavished on them all and the tantalizing mystique they brought with them across the seas, the Cubans have been one of baseball's most monumental disappointments of modern times.
"I know we learned a big lesson in Oakland," says Toronto GM J.P. Ricciardi, a member of the Oakland braintrust in 1995 when the A's decided to make Prieto the fifth player chosen in the entire amateur draft. "We all saw Prieto. We all loved him. He had a great arm. The ball came out of his hand real easy. We thought he'd pitch in the big leagues quick.
"But in hindsight," Ricciardi says now, "I would have liked to have seen more of him and gotten more history on him. That's always one of the problems in evaluating the Cubans. There are always questions about their history. As much as you think you know them because you've watched them, you really don't know them -- because you can't."
You can't, because they come from a true land of mystery, where few Americans have traveled, where proof of age is nonexistent, where reputations have been built on years of beating up on inferior amateur competition.
"I think a mystique has developed around these guys," Arbuckle says. "They're coming from Cuba, this great and mysterious place that is supposed to have a mother lode of talent. And because of that, we've tended to overevaluate them. We've been seeing them compete on a daily basis against lesser-ability players. ... But you never know how a guy is going to react when he has to go, day-in and day-out, against guys with more ability than he has."
We've surveyed a number of scouts and baseball men in recent weeks about the modern crop of Cuban pitchers. Most declined to be quoted. But their frustrations essentially come down to these areas:
1. Fictitious ages.
2. Inability to scout the Cubans against legitimate competition.
3. And, especially, an understandable lack of motivation to be great.
We are talking about men who have led their entire lives in an oppressed, dictatorial state. We are talking about men who had to survive on an income of as little as $10 a month. We are talking about men whose dreams of escaping Cuba revolve more around freedom than stardom.
"After spending their whole lives eating on $10 a month," Arbuckle says, "a lot of these guys feel they've already reached the end of the rainbow just by getting here -- to a situation where there are good meals on the table every day, a nice place to live and a little money in their pocket. It's hard for them to comprehend that this is really just their starting point. When you're coming from nothing, it's easy for other things to become your priority."
But Gordon Blakeley, the Yankees' longtime director of international scouting, says the critics seem to be forgetting that priorities can be a problem for any player -- no matter where he comes from.
"That's a question you have to ask about anybody, even American players -- who can you trust with a long-term contract?" Blakeley says. "It's not only the Cubans. It's human nature."
Blakeley concedes that signing a Cuban can be "a gamble." He agrees that the Cubans can be hard to scout, harder to get to know and a challenge to assemble any kind of reliable background on. But he disagrees with the premise that, as a group, these men never lived up to their hype.
"Most of these guys didn't get much hype," he says. "They weren't thought to be that high-caliber. I thought Arrojo would pitch better than he has. I thought he'd do really well for three or four years. We had interest in Arrojo. But other than him, Livan and El Duque, none of the others were really interesing to us."
Well, whatever the concerns might be about the other Cubans, Blakeley is convinced that the guy currently wearing Yankees pinstripes won't disappoint anybody.
The Yankees have seen enough of him for years to be confident he's really 31. They were lucky enough to watch him throw eight shutout innings against the Orioles in Cuba four years ago, so they've seen him against real major-league hitters. (No Orioles jokes, please.) And if his stuff wasn't ace-type stuff, why were the Red Sox and Mariners working so hard this winter to keep him away from the Yankees?
So if another Cuban as talented as Jose Contreras were to reach the market, the Yankees would be right back in line, Blakeley says.
"We wouldn't hesitate," he says, "if it's the kind of guy we like and he's a fit. If you've done your homework and the guy has got talent, why would you hesitate? That's what it's all about, right? ... Talent."
But of course, those other teams suggest, that's easy for the Yankees to say.
"If you're the Yankees and you have unlimited resources and the guy doesn't turn out to be what you hoped, you just go on to the next guy," Arbuckle says. "But most teams don't have that luxury. Most teams have finite resources. ... So to make that kind of commitment in dollars and length of contract, that's pretty risky business."
And remember, no previous Cuban had ever gotten the kind of commitment or dollars that Jose Contreras just raked in. So as his career unfolds these next four years, he'll be pitching for more than simply himself and that team in the Bronx. He might singlehandedly determine just how much Havana daydreaming the rest of baseball will feel like doing come manana.
Miscellaneous Rumblings
If you've listened closely these last few months, you could hear more than the sound of agents complaining about collusion. You could also hear them complaining about each other.
So amid grumbling about unethical behavior and client-stealing, numerous agents report that the Players Association recently made a move to crack down on at least one area of potential agent misbehavior.
The union has banned all agents from staging All-Star Game parties, effective with this July's game in Chicago. In a memo distributed to agents earlier this month, the union informed agents that there were concerns that the parties -- some of which had become major bashes -- were being used for "recruiting" purposes. Which was inspiring more agents to consider holding competing parties. Which was creating an impression of "solicitation mischief."
So without passing judgment on whether that mischief was actually taking place, the union concluded that the parties, whatever their purpose, weren't worth the "ill will" they were generating. And not just among other agents.
MLB reportedly had lodged a complaint that agent parties were beginning to draw players and other baseball people away from the official All-Star Gala, which was scheduled at the same time.
Whatever and whomever this policy was meant to satisfy, it's one that most agents are applauding.
"Does it make any sense for an agent who has two or three All-Stars to be throwing a party that lavish?" asks one agent. "You're competing not just with the gala, but with the union's own party. And what's the point? You're not throwing a party of that magnitude for two or three All-Stars and their families, or even four or five. The suggestion has been that it's a recruiting tool, and that's obviously what it is."
And the union isn't expected to stop there. Other measures being contemplated are random audits of agents' books, an accounting of loans to players, unusual fees, etc. It's about time.
All over the map, heads are still scratching, among agents and even some other club officials, over Oakland's announcement that it couldn't sign Miguel Tejada -- before it ever seriously negotiated with him.
One of Oakland owner Steve Schott's prime motives, obviously, was to dramatize his team's need for a new ballpark. But he's not getting one in Oakland, and trumping up a new Miguel Tejada crisis hasn't changed anything.
"That team needs to move," says one prominent baseball man. "Period."
What was especially outrageous, though, was Schott complaining about "the system" in baseball forcing him into this situation -- before Season One of the new labor deal, which he voted for in the name of competitive balance, could even begin.
"What good-faith effort did that team make to sign Tejada?" one agent fumes. "They made none. OK, if you make a good-faith effort and then you reach an impasse, then you can say you don't have the resources to sign the guy. But how do they even know?"
Let us remind you that a billion dollars in revenue sharing money will change hands over the life of this new labor deal. Teams like the A's will be prime receivers of that money. The market, especially for star players, has already begun plummeting back to earth. The spirit in which that labor deal was negotiated was supposedly all about restoring competitive balance.
So how can baseball allow an owner to announce he can't sign his biggest star before he sees how this new labor deal works? The commish has fined other owners for remarks far less injurious to the image of the game than that.
The Rangers are working feverishly to export Carl Everett. And one team with definite interest is the Devil Rays, whose team batting average this spring has been threatening to submerge below .230.
Braves right-hander Paul Byrd's elbow problems may force him onto the DL. One GM whose team looked into Byrd this winter says his club backed off because of concerns about Byrd's elbow. So he predicts: "I'm not so sure this is going away."
Twins ownership took a lot of abuse a few years ago for not spending money. But now that they have a team with a chance to win, you have to give them credit for finding an extra $2 million to sign Kenny Rogers in the middle of spring training after Eric Milton went down.
Most spring-training numbers mean about as much as PlayStation numbers. But we might make an exception in Mike Hampton's case. Hampton has faced 70 hitters this spring -- and struck out only four of them (three of which came in his start Monday against St. Louis). He had a 7.07 ERA, and he'd allowed 31 baserunners in 14 innings.
"As much as they say they're not concerned, I think they're concerned," says one scout. "He's made a lot of mistakes up in the zone."
Another club official, whose team has faced Hampton this spring, says: "I'd be less surprised if he won five games than if he won 15."
"I called our owner (Carl Pohlad)," says GM Terry Ryan. "And I said, 'Kenny Rogers is out there. If you give me the wherewithal, I'd like to take a run at him.' He called me back in a couple of hours and told me what I had to offer."
It's believed Rogers actually turned down more money ($3 million) from the White Sox last month. But a call from Minnesota player rep Denny Hocking, talking up the chemistry and defense of the Twins, seemed to get Rogers' attention.
"A player can tell him things that a general manager can't," Ryan says. "Denny could say, 'This is a good place to play -- good manager, good clubhouse, good defense.' And I think players listen to that. Plus, it was getting deep into spring training, and I think he was getting antsy. He was there the next day and ready to pitch. I know that."
The Twins actually think Rogers could take his turn in the rotation the first week of the season, although they'll probably back him off until at least April 6 (Game 6).
We're just getting to the point where teams are starting to shop for Opening-Day needs. But nobody has been more aggressive early in the shopping season than the Orioles. Clubs that have spoken to them say they're marketing Sidney Ponson, Jason Johnson, B.J. Ryan, Melvin Mora and even Buddy Groom in a quest for more offense.
And while they're not trading for Junior Griffey, the Orioles have set aside the money they offered Pudge Rodriguez to take on some big-money hitter -- a la Carlos Beltran or Juan Gonzalez.
Speaking of Griffey, his legs and balance at the plate have looked much better this spring. One scout says: "He's ready to have a monster year. I think he got the kick in the butt that he needed -- from himself."
While the Royals continue to talk about Beltran with several clubs, two GMs say they think it's more and more likely Beltran will be a trade-deadline deal, not a spring-training deal. And the Royals can forget getting Hank Blalock for Beltran. Clubs that have inquired about Blalock say Texas GM John Hart is almost adamant about holding onto both Blalock and Mark Teixeira.
The Mets continue to tell suitors that they're not interested in trading their most advanced pitching prospect, Aaron Heilman, even in a deal for Mike Lowell. But one scout who has seen a lot of Heilman says: "I'm not even sold on him. I'm not sure he's more than an end-of-the-rotation guy. He's got no real dominating pitch. He's not a power guy, and he hangs a lot of breaking balls."
Teams that have talked to the Mets say they're still trying to package Jeromy Burnitz or an excess outfielder with a lesser prospect in whatever trade they make. But their willingness to take on money at least gives them a shot at some kind of deal.
The Reds are still looking to cut $3 million in payroll. They've tried to interest the Phillies in Scott Sullivan all spring, but don't look for that one to happen. The Phillies did begin sniffing around for set-up help this week, though, after Turk Wendell experienced elbow soreness in an outing Monday.
The Phillies also are poking around for another catcher, in case Mike Lieberthal's pelvic injury lingers, the way a similar injury did in 1998. It appeared to be no coincidence that the Yankees started John Flaherty in a game this week against the Phillies.
The Padres and Yankees have completed a deal that sends Rondell White to San Diego for Bubba Trammell and minor-league pitcher Mark Phillips, who was the Padres' first-round pick (ninth overall) in the 2000 draft. Prior to making the trade for White, the Padres were also interested in Raul Mondesi. But one baseball man who has been monitoring the Yankees-Padres talks says, flatly: "That deal is not going to happen." Not as long as the Padres ask the Yankees to pay $6 million of the $7 million they owe Mondesi.
The Yankees are more willing to pay most of Sterling Hitchcock's $6-million contract, simply because Hitchcock has no meaningful role to play, barring massive injuries. But while several clubs (Rockies, Dodgers, Expos, Reds) have scouted Hitchcock, only Colorado appears to have anything more than mild interest.
The Phillies' coaching staff has had some concerns about rookie center fielder Marlon Byrd. But despite reports that they looked into Kenny Lofton and Tampa Bay's Jason Conti, multiple sources say they had no interest in either.
Scouts continue to remark about how uncomfortable Byrd has looked all spring, on offense and defense. But even as he starts to find his swing, one scout says he's surprised by how much trouble Byrd has had reading and tracking fly balls in center field. The Phillies tried having him play more shallow, then moved him deeper again this week. At any rate, Ricky Ledee, who just went on a 10-for-14 tear, could play a lot more than anticipated. It's also possible Bobby Abreu could see some time in center.
One Phillie nobody has been disappointed in is Jim Thome -- and not just because he hit the longest opposite-field home run anyone could remember Monday in Clearwater (over the scoreboard in left-center), or an even longer grand slam Tuesday. You don't find many $85-million men sitting in the dugout during spring-training games in which they're not even in the lineup. But Thome has done it regularly all spring.
"This guy is un-bleeping-believable," says Phillies third base coach John Vukovich. "I keep looking for a chink in his armor, but there ain't any. He loves baseball. I haven't seen him come in any morning when he wasn't in a great mood, just to be at the ballpark. He's one of the first ones here, and he's blended in quicker than anybody could imagine."
One of the big guessing games this spring is trying to predict where Vladimir Guerrero could wind up next year as a free agent if the Expos aren't able to keep him.
"How about Baltimore?" wonders one baseball man. "Peter Angelos has the money. And Vlad is familiar with (executive VP) Jim Beattie."
"I can't see him in a city like New York," says an NL executive. "I don't know if they have the money, but Houston would be a perfect spot for a guy like him. It's a city with a lot of diversity and a big Latin American population. I can see him there."
One big question teams might face with a player like Guerrero is that he's so shy, he might be a tough player for some clubs to justify giving a quasi-historic contract to. He sure won't be A-Rod, out there pumping hands and being a spokesman for just about everything.
"The way I look at it," says the same NL executive, "you have three kinds of players. Player A is a guy with a great personality and presence. Player C is a guy who's a great player, but he's so off the wall that when he does speak, you wish he'd kept his mouth shut. And Player B is the great player who just plays and doesn't say a whole lot.
"Tell you what, I'd take Player B every day of the week. To me, there isn't as much difference between Player A and Player B as there is between B and C. If a guy's a five-tool player and he plays hard every day, I don't care what he does or doesn't say."
Everybody roots for Steve Avery to make it back. But one scout who watched his two shutout innings against the Braves last weekend says: "I heard people say he'd taken a big step forward. But he did it at 77 miles an hour. He might have hit 78 or 79 once or twice, but his fastball was constantly in the 70s."
You may not be seeing any major-league players in the Olympics. But Hideki Matsui's Yankees contract contains language that allows him to play for Japan in the next Olympic qualifying tournament, which is held after the season, in November. If he gets hurt, the Japanese are responsible for any and all ramifications.
The contract does not allow Matsui to leave the Yankees in midseason to play for the Japanese Olympic team. And there actually has been some wrangling inside MLB over the legality of even including the Olympic-qualifying provision. But a major-league official says he expects that portion of the contract to be approved eventually.
Two years ago, the Indians drew close to 3.2 million fans. Last year, they were down to 2.6 million. With Jim Thome gone and roster renovations underway, they're projecting 1.8 million this year.
"That's probably where we are in core fans now," says GM Mark Shapiro. "And that's probably about where we'll be until we win again. But at least that's a lot better than when our core was a million, back in the late '80s."
But you no longer hear anyone in the organization talk about this club not being able to win until 2005, because their young players have dazzled scouts all over Florida. Biggest eye-openers: second baseman Brandon Phillips, first baseman Travis Hafner, outfielder Jody Gerut (one of baseball's many former Russian History majors) and pitcher Jeremy Guthrie.
Finally, loyal reader Jerry Bodlander reports that the Washington Post's "In the Loop" column recently asked some folks to nominate choices for people to govern post-war Iraq. Among the selections were two familiar-looking names:
-- Orioles owner Peter Angelos -- "because of his experience in transforming a perennial powerhouse into a non-threat."
-- And good old Bud Selig himself -- billed as "baseball's gain, Iraq's loss."

Skip to comments.Mayor Bloomberg: Mandatory Flu Shots For NYC Pre-Schoolers Will Save Lives
Posted on 12/14/2013 5:20:40 PM PST by Innovative
Mayor Bloomberg on Friday defended the new city mandate that kids under five who attend pre-school or daycare get annual flu shots -- a rule critics say is just another nanny-state move by Hizzoner.
Opponents of the compulsory shots -- including autism activists suspicious of vaccination complications -- protested on the steps of City Hall Tuesday, calling the requirement intrusive and absurd.
As for parents who say it's their call as to whether kids should get the flu jab, Bloomberg said, "Your kid can impact other kids by transferring a disease and bringing it home...
(Excerpt) Read more at nydailynews.com ...
If you are a billionaire you don't need a medical license to practice medicine.
I am glad they made us all get small pox vacinnations.
How about getting your advice from a Doctor, not a liberal moron.
He could bribe them to get the Flu shots .... a banned large surgary drink, some condoms, a pack of cigarettes or the much coveted "on the sly" juvenile abortion.
So the flu and small pox are the same?
Heck the flu vaccine doesn't even address the right strain most of the time.
I tend to think that Mister Bloomberg's apparent (am I seeing more that what's there?) obsession with controlling people deserves some investigation from mental health professionals.
I'm no expert, but I'd love to know what the shrinks thinks.
Hope you foget your sarcasm tag....smallpox is multiple times more dangerous than the flu....
Your kid gets the flu....a few tough days with a sick kid...you kid gets smallpox...you will probably bury them....as well as possibility start an epidemic since vast numbers of illegals never got immunized for it...
hmmmmm...is that the answer?
I think they don't vaccinate kids or anyone against smallpox anymore.
You are mentally ill, Bloomberg. Get help.
I confirmed it == they don't vaccinate against smallpox anymore.
From the CDC website:
"Routine smallpox vaccination among the American public stopped in 1972 after the disease was eradicated in the United States. Until recently, the U.S. government provided the vaccine only to a few hundred scientists and medical professionals working with smallpox and similar viruses in a research setting.
After the events of September and October, 2001, however, the U.S. government took further actions to improve its level of preparedness against terrorism. One of many such measuresdesigned specifically to prepare for an intentional release of the smallpox virusincluded updating and releasing a smallpox response plan. In addition, the U.S. government has enough vaccine to vaccinate every person in the United States in the event of a smallpox emergency. "
Answer to what ?
I was going to say something about how happy I'll be when he's gone, but then I thought of his replacement.
Every year the extended family, which includes several MD's, pressures everyone to get flu shots. I'm one of the few who doesn't get them and am always fine, whereas every year I later also hear variations of, "...but it would have been a much worse flu if I hadn't gotten that shot".
The Progressives always start local to test the waters.
Why can't I decide ?
Why can't I decide ?
Bloomberg said, "Your kid can impact other kids by transferring a disease and bringing it home...
Just as you impact us with your idiotic Mayors against guns and support of homosexuals who may impact our children. What should we do about you?
Fixed it.
A new job for the dea, force feedin people drugs under Obamacare
My personal experience was with the additional swine flu shot during the Carter years. A lot of my fellow students in college that got the shot also got that flu, and the rest of us were unscathed.
You are right. Bloomberg is a Fascist. I don't know how anyone could deny it.
But flu shots ??? I had the flu in 1967 and never got it again.
I used to believe in the flu shots, till the last year or so. Govt said to keep getting them, even though they did NOT cover any of the flu out there. It is a giant crock.
And polio.
Cool. An expert.
How effective is the flu shot? What are the chances that a person be exposed to the strain that is in the shot?
Three strains in the shot versus hundreds of possible strains. Plus mutations that make the shot ineffective.
Not an expert. But inquiring minds want to know.
Yes just what we need, more autism.
He's a child playing with dollies.
go eff yourself bloomie
Are their any stats on how many students and families died from the flu, available Bloomy? Or do you just crave to assert one more control switch over the serfs you rule? Or do you have any financial/family/friend's interest in mind at one of the companies who'll supply/administer the vaccines? Follow the money.
Bubble wrap them all to protect against falls, scrapes and bruises.
After all, the Nanny government protects them from unkind words, disturbing thoughts and the heartbreak of not winning.
So why shouldn't they be protectd from physical damage as well?
"How effective is the flu shot? What are the chances that a person be exposed to the strain that is in the shot?
It's a "best-guess" dosage of multiple vaccines; a shotgun approach. Medical personnel claim it's effective. I just avoid dr's offices during the flu season; that's where the sick people are.
Three strains in the shot versus hundreds of possible strains. Plus mutations that make the shot ineffective."
I wonder if computers or humans make the vaccine ingredients - for the coming season - informed, final decision of "which flus this year"?
That said, I'm not a fan of the shot, and quit getting them many years ago. # of times sick w/flu since then? 2; one was from shot.
"Mandatory" is what the left is all about.
Because American vermin (formerly citizens) must be kept in line.
I'm probably one of a relative handful of doctors still immunized against smallpox as I got vaccinated in 2002 as a first responder. Lets hope that Genie doesn't get out of the bottle.
Meanwhile Blommie is okay with illegals waltzing into the US with drug resistant TB, Hepatitis, Dengue Fever etc etc etc....
My Chiropractor who is a great big lib (but a really good chiro) is absolutely against any vaccines of any sort for his boys, has been since their birth. When ocare was new in 2010, I asked him what he would do if he were required to vaccinate his kids in order for them to be covered by insurance. I saw just for a second a dawning in his eyes for just what government might do to him, instead of for him.
WHAT a piece of CRAP....MY doctor DOES NOT get a flu shot...and he's in his 70's.....
I'm certain he doesn't want to talk about the lives this will cost??????????
mandatory killing of all islamists will save lives too.
Step right up!
Get indoctrinated and inoculated simultaneously, courtesy of our benevolent leaders that want to save you the trouble of thinking for yourself.
The CDC usually puts a fairly good effort into selecting the viruses on which to base the vaccines, although my question would be why they would recycle the same Type A virus antigens ( H1N1 and H3N2 ) from last season to this season (unless I read the info incorrectly).
As far as the number of possible strains, I suspect that it's quite possible that one can get at least some cross-immunity from a flu component of a different strain.
Better living through fascism.
My grandfather survived smallpox at age three in 1902. My father survived a ruptured appendix before antibiotics.
Unfortunately, I was left in a semi-stupor after contracting the Hong Kong flu in 1968, only coming to my full senses in time for the Clinton years.
What a disappointment.
And now Obama! I am a greeter at Wal-Mart and shake each hand and hope to get the flu again to end this mental anguish which so beguiles me.
It is probably all an educated guess.
Still, it would be nice to know from year to year how effective the flu shot is.
First of all, apparently few people get the flu. Most of us catch a cold and think that it is the flu.
My son actually caught the flu last year. The doctor confirmed it. And he he has gotten the shot every year since he was first in school.
I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure that the shot will sometimes just lessen the severity and duration of the flu (something critically important in a disease which causes roughly 30,000 deaths per year.)
The term "effective" is a bit elusive, I'm afraid.
Most likely.
Of course, the flu viruses mutate. So at what point will a shot that actually relates to the original strain be ineffective — a month, 6 months, a year, or years?
And new origins of the flu virus happen — swine, bird, monkey etc.
Another variable — how mobile is the virus? If the virus is quarantined or kept to a small area, then it is not a threat.
Those flu shots won't save nearly as many lives as putting an end to abortion Michael. I'm sure you're all over it...

Opera Having Trouble Paying Its Musicians
Published: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 18, 2008 at 4:50 a.m.
LAKELAND | By all accounts, the first two productions of the first opera company in Polk County have been artistic successes, but a difficult economic situation has left the Opera Theater of Lakeland struggling to meet its obligations.
Several musicians who played in the pit orchestra Nov. 8 for the company's first production, "The Barber of Seville," told The Ledger last week they still have not been paid. They also complained that the company's managers had not responded to their inquiries.
"People depend on that income," said Victoria Marshall, a violist who played in the orchestra for "Barber" and as of Friday had not been paid nor received an explanation. "Some are full-time musicians trying to make it on teaching and playing."
Contacted Dec. 10, the general manager, Stephen Scovasso, confirmed the musicians had not been paid but refused further comment. An e-mail letter sent out later that day from the company to some of the musicians acknowledged it has a shortfall and could not say when it might be able to pay them.
On Dec. 11, the artistic administrator, Alberto Benitez, issued a statement that said in part, "We have had a conflict with certain individuals, and that is being worked on. The company is making every effort to work on this. As to the musicians being paid, we have no comment until this is resolved privately with the individuals."
In August, the company announced its inaugural season, consisting of four productions from November through April. The productions would feature both local and out-of-state professional singers with local orchestra musicians under contract.
In "The Barber of Seville," about 40 musicians were retained for the orchestra with a promise of $50 per rehearsal and $60 to $75 for the single performance, about $360 in all, said Joshua Mazur, a Florida Southern College freshman who helped put together the orchestra and was assistant conductor for the company's second production, "Amahl and the Night Visitors."
About a dozen of the musicians were members or veterans of the Imperial Symphony Orchestra with the rest students from Florida Southern College and Harrison Center for the Visual and Performing Arts.
The musicians were not given a written contract, but they filled out IRS W-9 forms and were told they would receive a check within 15 days. When they did not receive the checks, Marshall and other musicians said they made repeated attempts to contact Scovasso and Benitez, without success.
The e-mail from Benitez to the musicians said the recession had affected donations, which compose about 50 percent of the company's budget.
"Our potential sponsors and donors find themselves unable to participate in our fund drive at this moment. .<0x200A>.<0x200A>. As (a) new company in the community, we are going through a particularly difficult time," the letter said.
In addition, Benitez's letter stated the company is trying to identify new donors, cutting its production budgets "to the bare minimum" and that staff members have deferred payments to help the company remain viable.
"We ask for your understanding and patience as we put all our efforts into this fund raising campaign," it said.
On Dec. 12 four student musicians from Florida Southern met with Benitez and Gustavo Fuentes, a lawyer who is listed as a member of Opera Theater's advisory board. Ashley Ferguson, one of the four musicians, said after the meeting, "There was no promise when or if we'd be paid."
But Benitez said Friday that by this week those musicians would be given a proposal.
"I feel confident we're going to have a good decision," he said.
Not all the production staff is unhappy with the company. Camille McClellan, the costume designer for both "The Barber of Seville" and "Amahl and the Night Visitors," said she had been paid for some of her work but declined to elaborate.
"The major companies I work with have said they've had to cut their budgets. I'm as satisfied as I can be (with Opera Theater). I understand their situation. Everyone needs to understand it's a brand new company," she said.
The company is scheduled to perform Puccini's "La Boheme" on Feb. 28 and the one-act operas "Cavalleria Rusticana" and "I Pagliacci" on April 25, with tenor Daniel Rodriguez as the featured singer.
Mazur said because the musicians had not been paid, it was difficult to form an orchestra for the Dec. 6 production of "Amahl," and the singers were accompanied by two pianos rather than an orchestra.

I have DAL where I convert database null value to their equivalent representation in C#. For example:
NULL for Numeric = 0
NULL for String = String.Empty
NULL for DateTime = "1/1/0001" (i.e. DateTime.MinValue)
The problem, for date, lies in the presentation layer, especially in GridViews. You cannot show
1/1/01 to users.
What I used to do is check
if myDate.Year=1 or myDate.Year < AcceptedDate and display empty string, but seems to be extra effort unlike other types
Please am open to better approach. Thanks.

Two Dead Dogs Found In A House Leads to Felony Cruelty Charge
Christy Schmidt of South Poplar is accused of allowing two pet dogs to starve by not providing them food causing their death. She has also been charged with a misdemeanor count of cruel treatment of animals for confining the animals inside a residence without providing access to food.
Marion County State's Attorney Matt Wilzbach says Schmidt had apparently moved out of a rented home last October and left her two dogs behind. When her landlord brought a fumigator to the property, they discovered the stench of the dead animals when opening the door. Wilzbach says one of the dogs was in a crate, while the other was found lying under the bed.
Centralia Animal Control Officer Bobby Patton was called to the scene to take photographs. Wilzbach says no charges were filed earlier because some more information had been sought on the case.
Schmidt will be served with the new charges on Tuesday when she is due in court on a pending case of state benefits fraud.

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ28 test photos
Dennis Hissink : October 31th 2008 - 18:30 CET
Panasonic Gallery :
The Panasonic LUMIX FZ28 Megazoom camera was introduced in the summer of 2008. The introduction took place in Monaco, where Panasonic not only introduced the LUMIX FZ28, but also a threesome compact cameras. The Panasonic FZ28 is a 10.1 Megapixel camera based on Panasonic's reliable Megazoom concept. Including a large optical zoom range of 18x starting with a 27mm wide angle, ideal for landscape shooting up to and including 486mm for distant telephoto pictures. The VENUS Engine IV enables fast image processing and provides optimum image quality. ISO sensitivity ranges up to 6400, although this range will hardly be used in practice. In particular while the quality drops drastically at an ISO sensitivity this high.
Panasonic Lumix FZ28 gallery
Besides the optical zoom range, the Panasonic FZ28 digital camera features a so-called IA mode; an intelligent mode at which the camera goes extremely far in overtaking the user's actions. In addition, the Panasonic LUMIX FZ28 features an improved face detection mode, making portrait photography child's play. It enables continuous AF / AE adjustment even when a face moves or approaches the camera sideways. The Intelligent Exposure function ensures natural, realistic pictures by blocking shades and adjusting white-washed spots.
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ28 features
The Panasonic DMC-FZ28 digital camera combines a 27mm wide angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens with a bright F2.8-4.4 and powerful 18x optical zoom (equivalent of 27-486mm at a 35mm camera) with a 10.1 Megapixel CCD in a compact housing. The large zoom range of 27mm to 486mm, equivalent of 18x, also thanks to the attractive wide angle, makes the Panasonic FZ28 the perfect digital camera to shoot wide landscapes as well as close-ups of a distant subject.
Panasonic DMC-FZ28 photo gallery
The Panasonic FZ28 test photos were taken with a full production camera, which means that this Panasonic FZ28 is equal to the model the consumer will find on the shop shelves. Additionally, the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ28 digital camera will be fully technically tested in our DIWA test lab in a laboratory environment. We will concentrate and focus on the test in practice with the Panasonic LUMIX FZ28. The Panasonic LUMIX pictures of this article have been taken in and around Purmerend, a small town near Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

ST. LOUIS -- Bruce Weber, who led Illinois to its winningest
season, was an overwhelming choice Friday as The Associated Press
national coach of the year.
It was just the latest reward for a spectacular season for
Weber, in only his second year at Champaign.
The Illini (36-1), who play Louisville in the national
semifinals Saturday, were ranked No. 1 the final 15 weeks of the
season, and were unanimous six times.
Only two other Illinois teams, in 1952 and 1989, were ever
ranked No. 1, and both also reached the Final Four, but neither
lasted on top more than a week during the season.
Weber received 54 votes from the 72-member national media panel
that selects the weekly AP Top 25.
Mike Krzyzewski of Duke received six votes, while Al Skinner of
Boston College had five and Lorenzo Romar of Washington had four.
Weber succeeded Bill Self at Illinois two years ago and led the
Illini to their first outright Big Ten title in 52 years in his
first season.
Weber coached Southern Illinois for five seasons, compiling a
103-54 record and leading the Salukis to the NCAA Tournament twice,
before the Illinois job opened when Self moved to Kansas. Weber was
an assistant for 18 seasons to Purdue's Gene Keady, the coach of
the year in 1996.
Weber's 81-year-old mother, Dawn, died suddenly the day the
Illini beat Northwestern in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten
tournament. He didn't miss a game as Illinois went on to win the
conference title and then won four games as the NCAA Tournament's
overall No. 1 seed. The Illini reached the Final Four with a
memorable 90-89 overtime victory over Arizona, a game in which they
trailed by 15 with 4 minutes left in regulation.
Weber is the first Illinois coach to win the award and the first
from the Big Ten since Tom Izzo of Michigan State in 1998. Izzo's
Spartans also reached the Final Four this season, setting up the
possibility of an all-Big Ten national championship game.
Phil Martelli of Saint Joseph's won the award last season.

Betweeen offerings from Rihanna and Queen, these tunes are sure to get you revved up.
If the "Uma Thurman" video is any indication, working for Fall Out Boy is something along the lines of The Devil Wears Prada.
Fall Out Boy and One Direction? It's the collaboration we never knew we needed -- and we're obsessed with it.
In recent days, rumors have circulated that Fall Out Boy would be reuniting for a performance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' but they're actually gearing up for a full-blown comeback, with a summer tour, a new album, and a new single! Like most classic Fall Out Boy tunes, this one has a ridiculously long title: 'My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up).'
