Reports: Mets To Move In Fences Once More At Citi Field - October 15, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

Get our weekday morning briefs direct from the WFAN newsroom

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) The incredible shrinking stadium is about to get another makeover.

The chronically run-starved New York Mets are moving in the fences again at Citi Field, according to multiple reports.

The team made a round of changes prior to the 2012 season, shortening the dimensions throughout and most notably nixing the Great Wall of Flushing in left field.

This time, the walls will reportedly be brought in only in the areas of center and right field. Work is slated to begin after the World Series, the New York Daily News reported.

Its not about tailoring the ballpark to a particular player or a particular composition of team, general manager Sandy Alderson said last month, acknowledging the possibility of new dimensions at the cavernous ballpark. Its about making Citi Field as fan-friendly and as exciting as we can make it.

The hope is that altered fences and a new hitting coach will boost the power numbers in Flushing, especially for stars David Wright and Curtis Granderson. The Mets hit seven fewer home runs at home (59) than on the road (66) in 2014. They also suffered a dip in average (.224 to .242) and runs (286 to 343).

On the flip side, could the the Mets a team built around young pitchers Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, Jacob deGrom and the emerging Noah Syndergaard be sabotaging themselves without even knowing it?

Manager Terry Collins doesnt think so.

Paul Ryan swings for the fences in new ad - October 15, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

updated 9:57 AM EDT, Wed October 15, 2014

Washington (CNN) -- Rep. Paul Ryan wants you to know, he steps "right up to the plate."

That's according to a new video ad that hit YouTube on Tuesday -- no pun intended.

"Notice how my kids hit," Ryan says over a clip of him throwing an underhand pitch to two children who smack the baseball for what is undoubtedly a base hit. "They step right up to the plate. That's what I've tried to do in Congress -- step up to the plate."

But that last line comes with a smiling Ryan knocking one out of the park. He must have since he doesn't make a run towards first.

"When it comes to protecting taxpayers' money, I will always step up to the plate because you deserve a government that respects your hard work," Ryan declares.

The 2012 Republican vice presidential pick didn't snag the No. 2 post, but he easily won reelection that year in the Wisconsin district he's represented since 1998.

But the ad might have a broader audience than voters in his home district. Ryan won't say yet whether he'll make a run for the White House in 2016, but he is widely viewed as a potential contender for his party's nomination.

JPs to take up repeal of 'whites only' drinking fountain ordinance - October 15, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

The Pulaski County Quorum Court at its meeting Tuesday night will take up the repeal of a 64-year-old ordinance that allows businesses to designate "whites only" drinking fountains.

The repeal measure's sponsor, Justice of the Peace Donna Massey of Little Rock, said the long-forgotten ordinance was recently discovered to be still on the books. There's no indication anyone in the county abides or even knows about the pre-civil-rights era ordinance, but Massey said it's important to take action.

"This does not reflect the current realities of Pulaski County," she said. "However, symbolically it exists and it needs to be removed. It is, I guess you would say, an affront to the non-white citizens of the county."

Massey said she began investigating the ordinance's history after receiving a forwarded email in late September of an old photo of a drinking fountain with a "whites only" sign above it. The sign in the photo also included an ordinance number, she said.

With that, officials began researching its history. She said they initially believed ordinances older than 1977 were not considered active, but ultimately determined that wasn't the case and the one in question was still law.

So Massey sponsored a new ordinance to repeal it. It's the seventh item on the court's new business agenda Tuesday night.

"This is the only thing you can do, bring it before the Quorum Court and vote to repeal it," she said. "I trust that as a body we will definitely vote to get this repealed."
