City re-zones Porter Road property for possible apartments
by Raquel Hendrickson - Oct 3, 2018
The proposed Vista Village property (star) is almost six acres.
A developer wants to build a 100-unit apartment complex in Maricopa, and a vote by Maricopa City Council on Tuesday may spur the project.
As proposed by Englewood Group, Vista Village will be constructed on a triangular, six-acre lot north of Walmart and south of Banner Health on Porter Road. The multi-building development would include two-story and three-story buildings with a pool, laundry, fitness center and playground.
The city council approved the re-zoning of the property from light industry to general mixed use. It was not an approval of the project but allowed Englewood Group to start the development process. It would be the first apartment complex in the city.
No member of the public or city council spoke against the re-zoning at the Tuesday hearing. Planner Rodolfo Lopez said the Development Services department did not receive any public comment, either.
The rezoning was previously recommended by city staff and by the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Development Services commissioned a study last year on housing needs in Maricopa. The idea of an apartment complex has been controversial in the past, with opponents saying rentals bring crime, but it has gained interest in the past year.
The Housing Needs Assessment Report from July 2017 noted that 97 percent of Maricopa's housing is single-family homes, far above the Arizona average of 64 percent. It found a lack of "work force" housing for teachers, police, etc.
"For single people who wish to live alone, there are no housing options other than living alone in a large home," the report stated.
The result is two or more families renting one "single-family" home.
Englewood, which has 74 properties in Arizona, Indiana and Illinois, has been eyeing Maricopa for more than a year.

City considers streamlining housing development process
by Michelle Chance - Mar 21, 2018
Homestead construction
As construction on residential housing ramps up in Maricopa, the city is considering ways to make the process easier for developers.
Last year the city received 500 residential building permits, and recent projections predict major growth ahead.
During a city council work session March 20, the Development Services Department presented the city's current procedure: An eight-application process that usually entails two years of meetings and sub-steps before a builder receives a building permit.
A team of planners began brainstorming how to consolidate timewasting steps and documents about a year ago.
The result was a color-coded flow chart that details the city's process used since pre-recession Maricopa as well as updated steps the department has identified and streamlined.
Development Services Director Martin Scribner said even with improvements, development processes are inherently complex across the nation.
"As a rule, the process is complicated," Scribner said.
The process is detailed in a digital timeline that essentially serves as a snapshot of what developers could expect during the pre-development stages.
Some of the department's major consolidation in the process affected the construction and inspection portion of the process.
SMARTGov, the city's digital terminal for permit viewing and submittal, is a big part of that, according to Senior Planner Rodolfo Lopez.
"(Developers) don't have to resubmit some of those documents unless something is changed or modified," Lopez said. "This process streamlines it a lot quicker."
The city has been teasing a redesign of its website and Mayor Christian Price indicated he'd like to see the process timeline posted on the city's digital front page once the online update is completed.
Development Services is expected to compose a similar timeline for commercial development, which entails an even more complicated process.
Vice Mayor Peggy Chapados said the digital flow chart could decrease the number of complaints the city receives from commercial builders regarding perceived delays in the process.
The commercial development presentation is expected sometime in the future.
"The more information we get out there, the better," Price said.

A report by Phoenix-based consulting firm Applied Economics estimates Maricopa's recent housing growth could be a sign of more to come. It projected 1,200 new housing units will be built every year for the next five years. If future construction projects become a reality, AE estimates the city could grow by 42,000 housing sites 20 years from now.

Apartment company talks to council
The developer of multifamily housing is interested in Maricopa.
An apartment developer presented a plan to City Council Tuesday, outlining its intentions of developing affordable multifamily housing structures in Maricopa.
Representatives from the Indianapolis-based Englewood Group discussed with members of council their two-fold approach to multi-family housing and how it may be able to help Maricopa overcome the rental gap in the city.
According to their presentation, 76 percent of renters in Maricopa are cost burdened, earning only 30-50 percent of the Area Median Income. Also, according to the presentation, 33 percent of Maricopa residents earn $50,000 or less per year.
Englewood Group representative Brian Pozen said 97 percent of houses in Maricopa are single-family homes. Based on current market analysis, rental properties in the city have an average rent of $1,376 per month with nothing available for less than $1,000.
This, they said, is where they can help.
Englewood's approach, Pozen said, would use both market-rate and low-income apartments to fill this need.
Market-rate units would range in cost from $800 for a single bedroom, up to $1,300 for a two bedroom, he said.
Three-bedroom apartments were not discussed.
Low-income units would range from around $700 for a studio to $900 for a two bedroom, he said. To achieve that goal, the company would utilize the federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit.
To qualify for the credit, the complex would have to abide by the qualified Allocation Plan which prescribes that the unit would need to be, among other things, smoke-free, built and maintained efficiently, preserve historical aspects of the region and target low income tenants.
Englewood representative Julia Surak said, this is not "Section 8 housing."
"You can use a Section 8 voucher, but you don't need it to live there," Surak said.
Building the low-income units would take more time, Pozen added. However, he said, Englewood has already signed a "letter of intent" for a property in Maricopa where they hope to construct market-rate units.
Once that property is rezoned, he said, Englewood can begin moving forward with permitting and subsequent construction almost immediately.
To apply for the tax credit, the land must already be zoned for multifamily thus drawing that process out on a longer timeline which they hope would conclude in spring or summer of 2019.
The company also expressed an interest in building a senior living complex. Each complex would contain on average 20 units per acre – 90-110 units per complex.
Housing options center of debate at 'Councilmember on the Corner' (GALLERY)

A recent housing study conducted by the city prompted debates online from residents who oppose the idea of multi-family housing in Maricopa. Read the study here
Saturday morning, residents continued the discussion during "Councilman on the Corner," a public forum held regularly by Councilman Henry Wade.
"This subject seems to have resonated when I put it out there in Facebook and social media as to a question I posed," Wade said. "It generated quite a bit of discussion, although that question was quite a small part of what the housing assessment is all about."
Some residents argued the apartment and condominium units would bring down property values and attract crime.
"I also value that we have low crime, and that's partly because of the kind of neighborhood that we have," said resident Leonard Gonchar.
Maricopans who support the idea fired back.
"As a retired person, I'm not an undesirable," said resident Karen Balliet, who said she cannot afford the cost of a single-family home in the city.
Balliet said after her husband died, she closed her business and searched for a home in Maricopa near her children and grandchildren.
"I was going to have to go to Casa Grande or Chandler to be as close as I could to them," Balliet said. "But luckily for me, they built a multigenerational home so I could move in with them. That's the only choice I had."
Maricopa Development Services Director Martin Scribner said besides a few exceptions in Province, a retirement community, Maricopa is dominated by single family housing.
Scribner said the city is losing opportunities to attract multi-family housing developers, as well as the renters who would occupy the units.
"They have to be making somewhere near $50,000 per year in order to afford the housing here," Scribner said.
City officials said housing and rental costs pose a challenge to not just retirees on a fixed income, but also to young professionals in the infancy of their careers.
Patti Coutré, president of the Maricopa Unified School District Governing Board, said the district hired 80 employees for the new school year, many of whom are single and hired within the first five years of teaching.
Coutré said the housing costs in Maricopa often drive young educators to live in the Valley and make a long commute to work.
"If we can get them living in Maricopa, we have a better chance of retaining them. That's one of our goals because it does show that our schools will get better if we can retain the employees," Coutré said.
Scribner and Wade reiterated multi-family housing does not necessarily equate to "affordable housing" and the negative conations that often accompany the term.
However, Project Manager Kazi Haque said meetings with county agencies and local school districts proved there is also a need for housing for lower-income families as well.
"There is a lot of tendency for homelessness, which you don't see every day," Haque said. "There is homelessness over here, but it is undercover."
In September, the city will begin work on a housing plan that will set priorities for the future of Maricopa housing.

Council to look at housing needs in Maricopa
by Raquel Hendrickson - Apr 3, 2017
Does Maricopa need more diverse housing?
That's the question posed by City Hall in a survey conducted this winter. The survey ran on the city's website in late February through today. It asked residents what housing should look like in Maricopa in the next decade.
The city had a booth at Salsa Festival to question residents in person.
Rebecca Rothenberg of Atria Planning said the survey was meant to get feedback that helps the city "streamline zoning." Atria was contracted to conduct the survey.
A presentation of a housing update is due to come before Maricopa City Council at its work session Wednesday at 6 p.m. A final draft of the housing report is due in May.
Rothenberger said while several residents indicated concern about apartments bringing crime or causing lower home values, a large portion of single-family homes (up to a third) are already occupied by renters.
The draft study shows 97 percent of housing is in single-family units, and "no housing for single individuals, regardless of income." There are also no senior apartments or other housing for seniors in the low- to medium-income brackets. Rothenberger said more diversity in housing makes a community more sustainable.
Home ownership is considered affordable ($100,000 to $200,000) but renting is not, with most houses renting for at least $1,000 a month.
If Maricopa encourages diversity in available housing, planner Kazi Haque said there are options and zoning available for them. Besides apartments, that includes duplexes, condominiums, executive homes and townhomes.
The survey asked Maricopans what they want, if any, of those options.
A housing steering committee will have a workshop on the survey results Tuesday morning in council chambers before the presentation to city council that evening.
P&Z hears 3,000-home proposal on Anderson Road
by Mason Callejas - Mar 16, 2017
The Anderson Russell Planned Area Development site is on the extreme southeast edge of Maricopa, outlined in red on the map and in the inset.
A cursory presentation delivered by city Development Services personnel to the Planning & Zoning Commission on Monday exposed concerns about the future development and annexation of a large parcel of land to the east of town.
The "high altitude" overview of the project raised questions among commissioners, who seemed worried about infrastructure installment costs and, above all else, about public safety.
Located at the nexus of Anderson Road and Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway south of the Ak-Chin Regional Airport, the 776-acre Anderson Russell Planned Area Development site is slated for the eventual development of 2,000-3,000 homes as part of the City's 2040 Vision plan.
Commissioner Michael Sharpe, who at the same meeting was elevated to the position of vice chair, is one of several commissioners who expressed concerns over the project. He is worried about both the cost of infrastructure development and effects from the eventual widening of the highway.
"[It] requires investment in the necessary infrastructure, and that's going to be difficult," Sharpe said.
Sharpe asked if the city was "considering when Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway eventually gets expanded."
Recently-appointed P&Z Chair Linda Huggins raised concerns about emergency situations that could arise due to the proximity of the airport and the subdivision's distance from first responders.
"With this amount of area being developed, we definitely need to have the Transportation Department look at the egress and ingress," Huggins said. "We can't prevent first responders from being able to respond."
Maricopa Police Chief Steve Stahl said he, too, is concerned about the implications of such obstacles. Though he believes in the city's development, he said in its current state the MPD would be unable to properly serve the addition of so many homes.
"The way it sits right now there is a high probability that we would not be able to provide the appropriate amount of resources," Stahl said, "both police and fire."
Stahl also expressed concern about the isolated nature of the area.
Not only would it become inaccessible in the event of a flood, he said, but the railroad, which currently has trains traveling through Maricopa 40 or more times a day, could further isolate the subdivision, which would reside on the south side of the tracks with no current alternate access.
Development Services staff said they didn't have all the answers to those questions and were giving only a loose overview of the proposal. A detailed report is due to come back to the commission at a future date.
If the commission decides to move forward with rezoning, public hearings will be held to allow for public input.
Fulton Homes returning to fill in Glennwilde
by Raquel Hendrickson - Dec 16, 2016

After an eight-year hiatus, Fulton Homes is coming back to Maricopa.
Fulton plans to build 400 homes in the Glennwilde subdivision starting in 2017.
Dennis Webb, vice president of operations for the developer, said the new construction activity in the city and interest rates were important factors for the return.
"The pricing of homes has substantially improved," he said.
Fulton Homes created Cobblestone Farms, where it constructed around 900 homes at the beginning of Maricopa's establishment as a municipality. When the economy collapsed and the housing bubble burst, Fulton and most other developers left, at least temporarily.
Interest rates during the construction boom were around 7 percent. Now, that is around 4 percent and is expected to rise in 2017. Webb said that is a significant component.
He said the housing boom in Maricopa was an exciting time, and Fulton Homes was putting in many of the young city's most expensive houses.
"We had a great product in Cobblestone," Webb said. "I just drove through there again, and it still looks pretty good."
Fulton Homes' plans for Glennwilde are three products – small, medium and large.
Webb said the small home will be 35 feet wide with square footage between 1,500 and 2,300. In the medium range, the homes will be 1,700 to 3,400 square feet. The large homes will be 2,000 to 4,000 square feet.
Customer demands and tastes have changed in the past eight years, and Webb said the company is moving with the times.
"We listen to our customers and take into account what they want," he said.
That means energy-efficient homes with lots of storage space, courtyards, large garages, great rooms and more bathrooms. Potential customers can visit the Fulton Homes Design Center in Tempe before they buy to examine what elements are most important to them.
Another important factor in Fulton Homes' decision to take on parcels in Maricopa was the fact the lots were finished. Though the property had gone through a few owners in the past few years, the lots are shovel-ready.
Permits have not yet been pulled, but the company expects to start construction in the first quarter.
"We want to have the highest quality homes in Maricopa," Webb said.
He said Fulton Homes had a good year in 2016 and expects 2017 to be even better.
"We think Maricopa we'll be a good one for us," he said.
Fulton joins Richmond American Homes in filling in the lots in Glennwilde.
Realtor: Impact of elections on housing market
by inMaricopa - Nov 3, 2016
Pat Lairson
By Pat Lairson
By now, you may have already voted or are about to. The question so many are asking is, "How will the election effect the housing market?" There is no doubt the next president's economic and employment policies will be a key influence on the health of the nation at large and the price you may pay for a mortgage.
A recent survey reveals increasing numbers of Americans believe the 2016 presidential election will have a negative effect on the housing market.
The survey, by national real estate firm Redfin, shows 27 percent of homebuyers believe the election will hurt real estate. The poll was conducted May 17-23 and includes responses from 975 homebuyers in 36 states, Redfin says.
On the flip side though, 63 percent of respondents believe the election will have no or little effect on the housing market. The real estate market is robust in Arizona right now. Resale and new-build sales are moving, and we have a nice even market between buyers and sellers in Maricopa.
Of course, a lack in consumer confidence or a substantial increase in interest rates or unemployment could slow the market and maybe even create higher inventory, which could create a stronger buyer's market.
In Maricopa, there is no reason to lack confidence about buying a home at this time. I say this from a very realistic perspective and by analyzing the market at large. Even if there is a mortgage rate increase after the election, it will likely be a slow increase over time. A mortgage can still be bought for under market rent, and even though lenders are still strict on lending guidelines, there are various down payment assistance programs available.
Home prices have increased, but not at an inflated pace, and Maricopa still averages about 40 percent less per square foot than homes in neighboring Chandler.
We have 323 active listings available on the market. Almost 25 percent of those listings for sale are in the 55+ subdivision of Province. At the time of this writing there are 215 homes pending or under contract waiting to close. Between Sept. 12 and Oct. 13, 139 homes closed in Maricopa at an average of $86.92 per square foot. This means there is about a two-month supply of inventory.
The new build market is also moving forward with many empty lots in subdivisions being filled.

Emilia Clarke Confirms Marvel Role in 'Secret Invasion'
Matt Singer Published: July 22, 2021
The secret is out ... sort of.
Reports surfaced back in April that Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke would join the cast of Marvel's upcoming Disney+ series Secret Invasion. At the time, Marvel had no comment on the rumors, because they never have any comment on this sort of casting news until they're ready to confirm it at some big comic convention or as a surprise appearance in some post-credits scene.
This week, though, Clarke at least confirmed that those were reports were true — although when she was asked about them on The Tonight Show by Jimmy Fallon, she sounded nervous just saying the words Secret Invasion out loud. It's not like the show itself is a secret!
Clarke even admitted she's "already scared" about screwing the whole thing up by revealing some detail she's not supposed to. She added:
The first people I spoke to from Marvel were their security team and I am convinced that there is a man outside my house. There's been a car parked there for a long time, and I swear to God, he's undercover.
What do you think Marvel calls their security team? Lemme guess: Damage Control.
Undercover agents shadowing actors to ensure they don't reveal the secrets of their upcoming projects? Can we see that Marvel Disney+ series? We would watch the hell out of that.
Secret Invasion, which has something to do with a secretive invasion from space, will also star Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Ben Mendelsohn as the alien Talos from Captain Marvel, plus Olivia Colman, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Christopher McDonald, and Carmen Ejogo, all in as-yet undisclosed roles. I don't want a visit from Damage Control, so let's just leave it at that for now. You can watch Clarke's full appearance on The Tonight Show below:
Every Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie, Ranked From Worst to Best
It started with Iron Man and it's continued and expanded ever since. It's the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with 24 movies and counting. But what's the best and the worst? We ranked them all.

Hope's Ben Gardner Named To 2016 Allstate NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams®
February 9, 2016 — by Alan Babbitt
Hope College basketball player Ben Gardner heeded the words of his Christian faith and important people in his life, deciding to make helping others a priority. He is drawing national recognition for his charitable efforts.
Gardner has been selected as one of 20 student-athletes named to the 2016 Allstate National Association of Basketball Coaches and Women's Basketball Coaches Association Good Works Teams®.
The senior guard from Carmel, Indiana (Carmel HS) is one of 10 men's honorees overall and one of five from NCAA Divisions II and III and the NAIA. In its fourth year, the Allstate NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams® honor college basketball athletes who have dedicated themselves to bettering the lives of others.
Members of the Allstate NABC Good Works Team® will be invited by Allstate to be recognized at the 2016 NABC Convention and 2016 NCAA Men's Final Four®. They will participate in a community service project to benefit the host city of Houston.
Being selected as a member of the Allstate Good Works Team places Gardner at an elite level in the world of college basketball, Hope men's basketball coach Greg Mitchell said.
"To achieve what he has on the court and in the classroom is outstanding in itself. But to be recognized for his volunteerism and service is simply remarkable," Mitchell said. "Ben has humbly used his talents, gifts and leadership skills to benefit others in need. There's no better way to represent our basketball team and Hope College as a whole than the way Ben has. I'm proud that he has provided us all with a model of how to be a true difference-maker in a world that is in such need!"
Gardner co-founded the Jesse G. Clothing line with a childhood friend that is sending a portion of its proceeds toward helping youth in Ethiopia.
Gardner said he is honored to become Hope's third recipient and join former Flying Dutchmen Grant Neil (2014) and Colton Overway (2013) as selections to the Allstate Good Works Teams®.
"I am grateful that Coach Mitchell nominated me," Gardner said. "The importance of community service is something I have learned throughout my life through various mentors and reading Scripture. I have been fortunate to join my good friend, Riley Rapp, in helping serve people in need in Ethiopia."
A public accounting major, Gardner has made the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Honor Roll three times. He earned All-MIAA Second Team recognition as a junior last season.
This season, Gardner leads seventh-ranked and MIAA co-leading Hope in scoring at 15.4 points per game. He became the 37th Flying Dutchmen player to reach 1,000 career points.
Gardner was one of the 154 nominees from the NABC. There were 103 nominees from the WBCA.
The record-setting 257 nominations were narrowed down to the final team rosters by voting panels led by former Duke University student-athlete, two-time NCAA champion and seven-time NBA All-Star Grant Hill and 10-time WNBA All-Star and University of Tennessee student-athlete Tamika Catchings. The voting panels are comprised of former coaches, esteemed college basketball athletes and media members.
"There is no program that recognizes and promotes the outstanding selfless humanitarian acts performed by men's and women's collegiate athletes more than the Allstate Good Works Teams," said Jim Haney, executive director of the NABC. "In four years, more than 850 student-athletes have been nominated for charitable works in their communities, across America and around the world. The 10 young men and 10 young women selected for the 2016 teams have added to the legacy of helping to clothe, feed and shelter those in need while nourishing hope and strengthening faith."

As you may or may not know, Luxury Forbes has a new single coming out entitled "LUXURY". The talented Florida-based singer has been busy in the last months not only recording new songs at Executive Studios but also debuting as an actor for an upcoming film. In contrast to what is often associated when you hear 'luxury' in your mind, this artist sees the bright side of it. And I totally agree with his philosophy because wealth can also be used to help those most in need. In particular, when music is the vehicle to promote change, entertain and reach a mass audience. Well, his next release is expected to arrive next Friday (June 8) via Spotify + similar streaming platforms. "LUXURY" talks about how difficult it is to find true and disinterested love once you attain fame. Perhaps, there is a need to reflect on this topic. Determine whether your girlfriend or even so-called friends are using you or not. He put 30 seconds of this song on his Facebook, which you can preview below.
Beyond that, he has big plans for the rest of the year as he is about to launch his own athletic clothing line, called Luxlete. So, if you're looking for affordable and stylish designs, then you must visit the online store right here: www.luxlete.com

Pope: there are no threats in the confessional – only forgiveness The Lord never grows weary of calling each of us to change our lives, to take a new step towards Him by being converted; and He does it with the sweetness and confidence of a Father. Confessors do the same. This was the heart of Pope Francis' homily at the Mass at the Casa Santa Marta on Tuesday.
Lent is a time that is "helpful for conversion," for growing close to God, for changing our life – and this is a grace we should ask for from the Lord.


The EHS Attendance Office is here to help you!

Kiley McDaniel: It's taking everything I have to keep working and not listen to Drake's surprise album that dropped last night. So, here I am, talking to you people instead.
So what's the best Cuban food you've had?
Gun to your head, when is Kris Bryant called up?
Kiley McDaniel: Why do people keep putting a gun to my head?
Running out of witty non-witty intros!
What the latest that you are hearing on frontrunners for Moncada? Still Yankees, Red Sox, Doders?
Do you have an update on Andy Ibanez and is there anything you can tell me about him?
I break down the 4 Cubans everyone is talking about, potential fits with teams, pricetags, where they'd land on a top 100, tool grades, scout buzz, medical speculation, marketing forces…like basically everything.
I recently heard your voice on the podcast for the first time. I did not expect that to be your voice.
Kiley McDaniel: I'm choosing to take all possible slights on this chat as compliments. Thanks!
You may have answered this before but which Non-FG Baseball writers do you enjoy reading? Any other favorite prospect writers outside of FG?
Kiley McDaniel: I joked earlier this week that me and Ben Badler see each other once a year, always on the same tropical island. Seems suspicious or funny in some way, but I haven't figured out how to tell the joke yet. All the guys that are out there are friends, guys that I read and guys that I see at least once a year at events and games: Callis, Mayo, Law, Badler, etc.
Is this the time of year when you start getting an idea of which teams July 2 guys are signing with?
Kiley McDaniel: Indeed. I've got a list of 72 solid six figure prospects for July 2 that I've scouted in the last 6 months and have video of them all. I have teams that either have a deal or are heavily rumored to have a deal for 9 of my top 11 projected bonuses. I would edit the video, write the reports and whatnot, but I have a top 200 coming out on Monday, so I'm busy with that at the moment. Since the Cubans are most time sensitive, I wrote them up now.
HI Kiley: I'm looking for a hitter with a very high ceiling for my upcoming prospect draft. I'm willing to wait on him since my other prospects are pretty good. Does Alex Jackson fit the bill? ETA?
Kiley McDaniel: Sure. Low-A this year, then could move quicker than level per year if he hits like expected, but should still take a couple years. In the 20's of my top 200 at the moment.
Now that he is going to play baseball full time, is there anything there with Anthony Alford?
Kiley McDaniel: Crazy tools are still there, so will be very interesting to watch in 2015. May even open at Low-A despite lack of experience.
What's the subject of the upcoming podcast?
Thoughts on Athletics' SS prospect Yairo Munoz? Getting a lot of hype within the fanbase, but I don't think he warrants the hype just yet. Higher ceiling – Munoz or Rangel Ravelo?
Kiley McDaniel: Heard some very positive and some very lukewarm reviews. Everyone agrees there's everyday SS tools there, but differ on the likelihood of hitting the upside. 40/45 FV borderline.
Can you tell your colleagues that Minor League WAR is a horrible idea and will lead to all kinds of bad analysis and opinions? Thank you.
I've lost track, how many Cubans are about to sign now or might be available soon?
Kiley McDaniel: There's about 50-70 out of Cuba and not with an MLB team right now. I just saw 18 of them workout and I wrote about the two that were there and worth getting excited about (Olivera and Alvarez) today. Moncada and Ibanez are the other two. I wouldn't get too focused on all the other ones. They either haven't had open workouts yet or aren't that good.
While I know it is pretty clear that the NY media way over-hypes their prospects, what's your thoughts on Matz – front of the rotation stuff? And I know its not quantifiable, but he grew up a Mets fan on Long Island, does that make it any more likely he exceeds expectations?
Kiley McDaniel: #2/3 starter stuff, but only one year of success and coming on the heels of TJ, so need to see a little more before I totally buy in like some have. In the 60s of my top 200.
I heard Hunter Renfroe threw a baseball thru a tire from 1000 feet away.
Is there a cure to an addiction to sunflower seeds?
Kiley McDaniel: I substitute other snacks like beef jerky or tail mix and go low sodium on the seeds, or try to chew on toothpicks. It's tough to kick the habit of doing something with your mouth while you sit still so long. Sometimes I'll just say a bunch of stupid stuff out loud to keep my mouth active but I think you guys already knew that.
Does the amount of the recent Cuban defectors hurt Moncada's chances of getting that record signing bonus that was speculated? Kind of hard for teams to blow their budget for 3 years for just one player when you could blow your budget for several players.
Kiley McDaniel: If anything it increases it, because the concern with blowing past the pool this late if you aren't the Yankees is you didn't get 3 years worth of players. Now you can sign Alvarez and Ibanez and feel better about doing it.
What do the Braves see in Hector Olivera? Why spend money on a declining second baseman whose contract would probably only cover their rebuild years and a 2B prospect about to hit the majors?
What's the upside of Roberto Osuna? Seemed to have front of the rotation stuff prior to TJ.
Kiley McDaniel: I'll say #3, but may adjust that up a notch to 2/3 if the stuff is the same next year with a little more command. Stuff was just okay pre-TJ and was notably better afterwards, kinda surprising the Jays.
When compiling your report on a team, do you talk to mostly that team, or outside orgs? Seems like outside orgs would be more unbiased.
Hearing this draft will be heavier on college position players than in recent years. Any names to watch?
Kiley McDaniel: Surprising amount of college shortstops this year, too.
Are the Braves planning to be big July 2nd players? I've seen some speculation from you and others that they might go over the limits.
Kiley McDaniel: Yes, they might but by no means have they already committed to doing so yet. They're in the mix on all these Cubans and in the higher levels July 2 guys as well, so the buzz of them being more aggressive is well founded.
When you finish your proespect series, will you type any answers to chat questions or just paste links to every single question?
Kiley McDaniel: I already hire interns and robots to do my chats anyway, so what's the difference?
Do certain team's scout have a reputation within MLB where the other teams know they aren't very good (don't have to say which team(s)?
Kiley McDaniel: Yes, but more specific scouts that a whole team's staff. Scouts also have pretty detailed thoughts on which scouting directors are good/bad since one or two good/bad picks can make a guy appear to be better/worse than he is.
is your top 200 list going to be as in depth as your organizational list?
Kiley McDaniel: Well if I just re-published the long reports from the lists in the top 200, it would take 20 minutes to scroll down the page. But, yes, it will have more than just the names. There will be descriptions and links and add'l info.
Is it just me or does Hector Olivera look like he's 50?
Kiley McDaniel: Covered that in today's article. Age questions are real and they matter for Olivera more than the Cuban kids in their 20s.
Do you think either Anderson Espinoza or Christopher Acosta have TOR potential?
If your salary guess on Olivera is correct, wouldn't it seem odd for the Braves to go after him?
Kiley McDaniel: Not really. They have some money to spend and he could be a nice gamble. There's a better chance he oustrips that contract and becomes a trade asset than the typical $5-7 million reliever.
Does Jorge Mateo start in Low A Charleston or Short Season Pulaski?
Are you putting out a top 100 list? If so, when? Thoughts on Tim Anderson? Huge potential right?
What are the chances Piscotty grows into 20 HR power? He's a big dude right?
Kiley McDaniel: He has 20 homer raw power, just not in games. It's an adjustment and the question is if he hits for the same average if he taps into the power in games.
When do we start seeing the lists for the Angels, A's, etc.?
Do you think Trey Ball can make it work in the rotation or was he a miss?
Kiley McDaniel: Too early the tell, should be rotation guy in minors for another year or two at least. Don't count him out yet.
Would you select Addison Russell or Yaon Moncada in a Rule 4 tomorrow?
Kiley McDaniel: I have them both in my top 8 prospects overall, but not in the top 2. So that's really close. Would lean Russell due to the longer track record and more defensive value.
Is Gilmartin ever going to be more than a below average back of the rotation starter at best?
Lewis Thorpe a good bet to break out in 2015? What sort of prospect is he?
Kiley McDaniel: I have them within 5 spots of each other on the top 200 and they have a similar level of experience, so the upside/risk is pretty similar. Slightly more upside to Margot, slightly better chance to hit upside to Dahl.
When teams (or scouts) evaluate 'make-up' what are they really looking for? Coachabilty? work ethic? chemistry with teammates? Helping old ladies across the street? Not a kicker of puppies?
Kiley McDaniel: Nebulous combination of all of those things and more. Puppy-kicking is still a divisive issue in the industry.
Who has been the most hyped prospect of the past 20 years? Strasburg? Harper? anyone look to join the short list in the near future? We heard of Harper at an early age….
Whats the word on Jose Berrios? Still have potential and what is his ceiling?
What's the cutoff for the top 100+ list? Basically ranking all the 50+ FV guys?
Are the scouts who sit behind home plate at minor league games ever accessible to the common fan? If so, how might one strike up a brief conversation?
Kiley McDaniel: They're basically sitting at their desk doing the most important 3 hours of work for the day, so not really. If you catch them at the right time, maybe you could chat for a bit or sit near them and just soak it in, but not really a time to chat them up.
Since you have heard rumors of possible DR kids signings with the dodgers, knowing whom they might be, would it be worth foregoing those kids future talents for Moncada and Yadier?
Kiley McDaniel: To put that in context, Moncada is 8th on my top 200 and Yadier is 57th. Not one of the July 2 guys from last year is in the top 200. You tell me which one you'd rather have, even if it's a bunch of July 2 kids.
Do you know of any good amateur talent in the Atlanta area that will be draft eligible in the next year or so?
When do I plan on finishing the prospect series (all teams, top prospects list, org ranks)?
Kiley McDaniel: Couple more weeks? Not sure.
How big are the Phillies going on July 2nd?
I love Jose Ramirez's raw stuff but is his future value dimmed because of a stacked bullpen?
Could the Yankees land Bickford at 16?
Are you a fan of the current IFA rules?
What does Rio Ruiz's upside look like? What about his ETA?
Kiley McDaniel: For reference, if you have a question about a prospect, type his name in the search box at the top of the page, then look at his recent articles. Good chance I've written about him pretty recently.
I read an article on RAB yesterday about prospect fatigue (players dropping in the rankings simply because they have been prospects for so long and people expect more and more, and even if they keep moving up, they move down the list) Ex: Gary Sanchez. Do you buy that as a legit issue?
Yoan Lopez wasn't on your D-Backs list a few weeks ago. Where would he slot? How does he stack up against The Nats Lopez who burst onto the scene last year?
Kiley McDaniel: Yoan is in the 150-200 range. Reynaldo is around 50 or so. Yoan is a maybe starter, possible reliever with above average stuff, Reynaldo is likely a starter and has plus stuff, hits 100 mph.
Will the Yankees sign one of the Cuban players before the start of the season? Are they aiming to sign more than one? Olivera a fit?
Kiley McDaniel: They're in the mix for all three of the ones that are subject to bonus pools, so maybe? Haven't heard them on Olivera, but it's just money so maybe they're in stealth mode.
Have you ever been paid by a major league for your opinion? Any desire to be an MLB team scout?
Kiley McDaniel: Yep, already worked for 3 teams in scouting before this job. The internet is a better option for me right now, but would consider going back to a team for the right job, conversations happen every now and then…but this job is pretty sweet.
Luis Torrens as a possible breakout prospect candidate?
I know he was just on your 40 or other names list for the Rox, but could Kevin Padlo make a Ryan McMahon like jump if he rakes in Low-A at 18? I think he showed WAY more polish than pre-draft indicated.
Vincent Velasquez. What is your opinion on him and when will he be in majors?
Kiley McDaniel: Big injury questions, but #3 starter stuff. Needs to stay healthy and pitchers that can't do that often keep getting hurt, so we'll see.
Could Ozhaino Albies be the next Mookie Betts-esque peak prospect?
Would Greg Bird be in your top 100? How much difference do you see between him and Josh Bell?
What's your evaluation of the Yankees July 2nd class at this very early stage? Do you seem a bunch of them as Top 100 guys in the next couple of years?
Lots of upside, but none are on top 200 radar just yet. Anything can happen in a few years.
Kiley good work as always. Mind giving me a little more info on Jon Gray? Does he still look like the surefire ace from last year and what do we see from him this year if he makes it to the bigs?
I've always been the low guy on him, more #3 starter for me.
Thoughts on Zach Collins from UM?
Kiley McDaniel: 55 raw to all fields, feel to hit but 1B/DH fit, so he needs to rake. Could go 1st round with two more big years.
What is Bradley Zimmer's power grade/ceiling?
Who's your favorite prospect that (essentially) you alone, compared to other experts, are high on?
Kiley McDaniel: Sounds like Albies is my guy, but I think Keith had him in the middle of his top 100, so I'm not really that alone. I mean, cosmically we all are alone but I don't think that's what you mean.
Do your shirts fit you like Yoan Moncada's fit him?
Kiley McDaniel: UCLA is solid with Poteet and Kaprelian, but two D2 guys are better than both, Staumont at Azusa Pacific and Ponce at Cal Poly Pomona. HS ranks are deep as usual. Chris Betts, Kolby Allard, Kyle Molnar, Brendon Davis, Kyle Dean, Drew Finley are guys to watch there.
on the 20-80 scale, how would you grade this july 2nd class? is there an overwhelming favorite for best hitting prospect?
Kiley McDaniel: Better than last year, so maybe 60? Still pretty early.
On a scale of 1-10, how big are the Dodgers J2 agreements? I'm trying to comprehend what type of haul they would be giving up to go over slot for Moncada in this period.
What rounds do you foresee Daniel Reyes possible going in?
It appears you are good at your job. We tend to appreciate that here.
What will the astros do with Tony Kemp if he continues to produce?
Speaking of the Yankees July 2nd class, did they choose the wrong year to go all out?
Kiley McDaniel: Well they signed like 8-10 guys and every year has a good 8-10 guys. The difference is if the top couple are elite or just very good. Really tough to know that a year in advance with 15 year olds.
Adrian Rondon-how far away is he and is he legit?
Are you going to rank the draft eligible players before June?
Hi Kiley – I read fangraphs every day, but I'm never sure what to look for when you post videos of guys. Any general tips for what to look for when watching them? Like for us 9-5 desk jockey types. Right now it looks like guys throwing balls and swinging bats.
Kiley McDaniel: Well that is all that's happening. For hitters, you're looking for looseness, athleticism and bat speed in the video (you can't really see raw power since you can't see where the ball goes). For pitchers you're looking for good athletic, repeatable simple delivery and movement on all pitches, and I'll mention velo below that. Just need to get reps so loose/athletic/easy is something you can see rather than have someone tell you it exists. Yadier Alvarez has all of the things I mentioned in today's article.
We hoped you liked reading Kiley McDaniel Prospects Chat – 2/13/15 by Kiley McDaniel!

Food and nutrition legislation and guidelines
Health Canada's Guidance Document on Unpasteurized Fruit Juice and Cider
Bureau of Microbial Hazards
Food Directorate
Health Products and Food Branch
Issue Date: October 2014
The document provides guidance on intervention strategies to reduce the risk of burden of illness in Canada from the consumption of unpasteurized juice and cider. This guidance document applies to both domestic and imported unpasteurized fruit juice and cider, and was developed following the completion of a health risk assessment on the consumption of unpasteurized fruit juice and cider. This guidance document is based on the current scientific opinion that the contamination of these products originates from poor hygienic practices during pre- and post-harvest, as well as production, and that the risk of pathogen transmission can be reduced to a minimum using good agricultural and manufacturing practices.
The objectives of the guidance document are to: a) reduce the likelihood of illness associated with the consumption of unpasteurized fruit juice and cider by both the general public and susceptible sub-populations; b) reduce the possibility of contamination of unpasteurized fruit juice and cider by harmful microorganisms; and, c) respect the consumer's right to choose by providing tools, such as labelling and consumer education, with which they can make informed choices.
Food safety enforcement bodies at the federal, provincial and territorial level may use this guidance document as a reference to assess adherence of the industry to good agricultural and manufacturing practices as it relates to the reduction of pathogens in unpasteurized juice and cider. Thus, this guidance may be used to assess compliance with general requirements of food safety legislation or regulations, in particular, compliance with Sections 4 and 7 of the
Food and Drugs Act
To obtain an electronic copy of the document, Guidance Document on Unpasteurized Fruit Juice and Cider, please contact our publication office or send an e-mail to publications@hc-sc.gc.ca with the subject heading "HPFB BMH Guidance Unpasteurized Juice and Cider".

Juanita Broaddrick Wants Clinton's Pension Taken Away [AUDIO]
Amber Athey 11:55 AM 11/29/2017 No comment
Juanita Broaddrick, who has accused former president Bill Clinton of raping her, said Wednesday that she wants his pension taken away.
"In the case of Bill Clinton, he's got a post-presidency… he's still paid, for instance, a presidential pension from the US taxpayers — are there things you'd like to see still done in his life that would affect him?" Daily Caller editorial director Vince Coglianese first posed to Broaddrick.
"Oh yes," she replied. "Everything that he's given as being a past president, with the exception of his secret service things… I think that all financial things that are given to him should be removed."
"Bill Clinton is a horrible person, and so is Hillary," she asserted. "If people out there have allegations against him that have not been brought to the light of day, now is the time."
Broaddrick also discussed her decision to go more public with her allegations when then-candidate Donald Trump invited her to one of the 2016 debates. People criticized her for that decision because of Trump's own history with sexual assault and harassment allegations, but she said she wouldn't turn down an opportunity to bring more attention to her story.
According to Broaddrick, the media have finally started taking her allegations against Clinton seriously.
"We're in a new era, and it's exciting," she said.
Broaddrick maintains that Clinton raped her in 1978 when he was the Arkansas Attorney General.

Q: UIView pan Gesture conflict with system gesture I am installing a UIPanGestureRecognizer on the main view as follows:
  panGesture = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(previewPanned(_:))
  panGesture?.minimumNumberOfTouches = 1
  panGesture?.maximumNumberOfTouches = 1
  view.addGestureRecognizer(panGesture!)

The problem is it gets simultaneously recognised with the system swipe gesture on home indicator to dismiss the app. How do I avoid this conflict?
EDIT: The problem arises when I dimmed home button indicator using the following code -
   override var prefersHomeIndicatorAutoHidden: Bool {
      return false
   }

   override var preferredScreenEdgesDeferringSystemGestures: UIRectEdge {
       return [.bottom, .top]
   }

The above code dims the home indicator after few seconds. Then you need to swipe twice to dismiss the app -- the first one to undim the home indicator and the second one to dismiss the app. The first swipe does both, invokes my pan gesture recognizer as well as undims the home indicator. I don't want my pan gesture recognizer to be called during the first swipe.

A: If I understood you correctly, you don't want your recognizer to work near home indicator, so you have two options:

*

*Create a view specifically for this recognized and layout its bottom to the safe layout guide.

*Implement a gesture recognizer delegate method shouldReceive touch: and check if the touch is in the save bounds:
func gestureRecognizer(_ gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldReceive touch: UITouch) -> Bool {
    let safeAreaFrame = view.bounds.inset(by: view.safeAreaInsets)
    return safeAreaFrame.contains(touch.location(in: view))
}

Second case is implemented in the following sample project


Each apartment contains a Whalen Vertical Hi-Rise water source heat pump, 1 to 1-1/2 tons, 400-600 CFM air flow and a 3.0 C.O.P. energy efficiency rating. "With an electric heat pump inside the apartment," explained Musser, "you tend to get more dust because there is a lot of traffic past the HVAC unit. I believe these filters improve the indoor air quality. They are well designed and we were able to have special brackets made up to accommodate the electrostatic filters." HVAC system modification is not normally required when installing electrostatic filters. In this case, however, the replaced filters were only 1/2″ thick, whereas Permatron filters' unique Accumulator Chamber® design requires a 1″ thickness.
The electrostatic air filters selected for the upgrade project are the DustEater® brand, manufactured by Permatron Corporation. Sold with a lifetime warranty for peace of mind, DustEater offers air cleaning benefits that are especially valuable to people with allergies, asthma and other respiratory conditions which can be common among the general senior population. Residents were somewhat touchy on dust, and some had to dust every day. Rugs in high traffic areas kicked up dirt, and the furnaces are located in the hallway with the return air grille near the floor with the recirculating fan on all the time. Each resident has their own lifestyle, and some keep their windows open. The dust problems are from a combination of rug traffic and the fact that the community is located in a rural area where farmers are cutting hay and strong east winds blow the dust around. Independently tested to ASHRAE standards, DustEater offers 91% arrestance efficiency balanced with low initial airflow resistance of 0.16″ w.g. and dust holding capacity of 160 grams. Electrostatic air filter media uses a triboelectric charge that attracts airborne particles like iron filings are attracted to a magnet. DustEater's unique construction features the 3-stage Accumulator Chamber® design for maximum performance, and a stainless steel frame for rust and corrosion resistance. Manufactured by Permatron since 1957, these filters have proven very effective in many applications. Residents are able to easily clean them with a quick rinse in the shower or sink, and return them directly to the system. No electrical hookups or replacement parts are required to keep these worry-free and functioning for years of cost-effective air cleaning.

My Man Crush Monday for this week is Wyatt Hennington from Say You Want Me by Corinne Michaels.
It proves easier said than done. When the doctor informs me I'm the winner of door prize number two, I put my life on hold and head back to Bell Buckle. Three months and if we can't make this work, I'm gone. The problem is—when the cards are stacked against us, and I can't bring myself to leave him, I'll finally know if he truly loves me or if all my fears were real .
Yes, it's a little strange that I'm picking the "second" book in a series (though this isn't technically a series), but Wyatt is the better of the two Hennington brothers I've read so far. Wyatt is kind, funny and loyal. Angie shows up with some life changing news, and honestly, Wyatt handles it all in stride. He wasn't frazzled and took charge of the situation. Angie had some issues, but he worked with her on her insecurities. Even in book one, I preferred Wyatt.
While these books are stand alone, they follow the same family, so reading Say You'll Stay first is probably a good idea. I love this family, and book three is my next TBR.


Joint custody works differently than most people believe. Joint custody means joint decision making and decision making is actually major decisions, decisions such as religion or educational decisions. Joint custody has nothing to do with time spent with children, parenting plans and parenting arrangements can be all different sorts of combinations and that doesn't have anything to do with joint custody which is strictly decision making.

People furious as photo emerges of homeless children sleeping in Dublin Garda station
It's become a huge epidemic across Ireland
Emma Costello
Irish people have voiced their outrage after a photo of homeless children sleeping in a Garda Station has been shared online.
Twitter user Anthony Flynn posted a photo on his feed of multiple young children on seats in a Dublin station sleeping.
He said: "This is what homeless service are reducing families to tonight.
"This is one Dublin Garda Station. I've never seen the likes of this, someone must be held accountable.
Parents of four-year-old Georgia Callan who drowned in Spain pay tribute to 'tiny Wonder Woman'
"Millions of Euros pumped into NGO's and Hotels and this is what's in offer. I'm shocked!"
The photo shows the youngsters in what appears to be school clothing with no blankets or pillows.
Marc Murphy replied, voicing his outrage, saying: "This is truly shocking in 2018 Ireland.
"Can someone please explain (without the usual hard left nonsense) why the government won't either build, or commission reputable builders to build, social housing?
"Surely it's cheaper in the medium term than hostels/hotels etc?"
Laura Lynott agreed, saying: "Very upsetting. The children won't forget this.
"I can only hope they one day help build a fairer society. No child should be sleeping like that, not even a pillow or blanket. Awful."
James Bates wrote: "Absolutely broke my heart to see this. Very very sad to see such a tragic image in this day and age."
Mary Oates said the heartbreaking photo was "horrendous."
"Heartbreaking to see the poor little mites, i hope this family and more like them, get as much help as they need," she said.
"Questions need to be answered in this country. We need to start looking after the people on the streets and not worry about the pope coming."
A garda spokesperson told Dublin Live: "A young mother and her six children (aged from 11 years to 1 year) presented at Tallaght GS during the night as they had nowhere to go.
"Members of An Garda Síochána tried all the emergency lines in relation to homeless shelter and no accommodation was located, a number of local hotels were also phoned.
"The family were cared for during the night by the members working and received a hot breakfast this morning in Tallaght GS which was paid by the Guards themselves.
"The family have now left the Garda station and are on the way to South Dublin Co-Council, Housing Department."

What has my slacker self been doing?
This flu really knocked me for a loop – and I haven't felt at all creative about writing. There are MANY unfinished posts hanging out in the Drafts section waiting to be ready. But rather than bore you with something potentially silly or rush the process, I have stayed rather quiet. Hope you understand.
Here's what I've been doing recently.
Reading this book in preparation for seeing the much-lauded Hamilton on Broadway with Ms. Moxie. Before you get too excited, we're going in NOVEMBER. Waiting is hard. Particularly given that my friends are always posting about it.

Last Sunday, I played apartment hallway baseball with NeighborKid. I had a minor hangover and was wearing the boot. Truthfully I just wanted to go back to bed with a pillow over my face.
But she was so happy to play that I kept pitching and she kept hitting.
After all, I'm moving soon so I won't have many more moments like these.
When I moved into this apartment, NeighborKid was two and a half years old. More baby-like than kid often. She had a sometimes challenging personality (her parents would agree!). But now, she's fun and silly and I'll miss her.

I'm moving on up…to the Northside of Williamsburg, that is.
At the end of May, I'll be moving approximately seven blocks from where I presently live to a much larger apartment I'll share with my friend Katie.
One bonus: my rent is going to go down by a LOT. Another bonus? There's a washer dryer in the apartment. This is a big deal in NYC.
When I told my mother that I am moving, it was clear to me that she hoped it would be to a Manhattan apartment. Sorry, Mom.
I like Williamsburg and here I can afford a much, much nicer apartment than in Manhattan.
The only thing I'm not excited about? Packing. Ugh.

Just to be clear, I'm not moving to Los Angeles. It's true that LA is one of my favorite places and I look forward to my trips there. Every time I'm there, I wonder what it would be like to live in LA.

Ryan's Blog: Could We Get More ICE Than SNOW? Thursday Update.
Could We Get More ICE Than SNOW? Thursday Update.
The above map is my current thinking on accumulations, as of this afternoon (Thursday). This could easily change by tomorrow, so stay tuned.
Rain starts Friday night into Saturday morning.
Northern and western counties will quickly switch to sleet and freezing rain.
By Saturday night, everything west of Highway 49 should switch to snow.
If we don't switch to snow and stay as sleet and freezing rain, power issues increase and accumulations decrease.
Counties closer to I40 will see mainly plain rain.
If I changed anything in the forecast tonight, it would be to increase the freezing rain numbers and lower the snow numbers.
As I said, it is still a little high on amounts!
Stay tuned. VIDEO update can be found on my Facebook page and on our Region 8 Weather App.

ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022

India head coach Rahul Dravid on Saturday said that the team management "will always be hopeful" that Jasprit Bumrah could recover from his injury in time for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
Bumrah's back injury ruled him out of the ongoing T20I series against South Africa, raising questions about whether he will play in the upcoming World Cup in Australia. It was due to the same injury that Bumrah missed the Asia Cup. Although he returned in the T20I series against Australia and played two games, he had missed the first game because he experienced back pain during the practice session as well.
"Till I get official confirmation that he is ruled out (of the T20 World Cup), we will always be hopeful," said Dravid in the press conference ahead of India's second T20I against South Africa.
"We will always hope for the best not just for us as a team, but also just as individuals, we will always hope for the best for the remainder of the matches. We have been told that his injury is not looking good at the moment and it looks like he won't be travelling to Australia with the Indian team. The medical team will soon submit a detailed report.
He added: "Bumrah is a very important player. The way he has performed over the last few years has been fantastic. He is an attacking bowler and if such a bowler isn't a part of the team, it doesn't go well for the team,"
While the Board of Control for Cricket in India on Friday announced Mohammad Siraj as his replacement for the T20Is against South Africa, there is no confirmation about the same for the World Cup. With premier off-spinner Ravindra Jadeja also recovering from a knee injury, India missing out on their premier fast-bowler will be a big blow.
Talking about the same, Dravid said, "So as of now, (Bumrah) officially has been ruled out from this series against South Africa. He has gone to the NCA. And we are waiting for the official confirmation on the next steps. So, as of now officially he is only out of this series, but we'll see what happens over the next few days. And, and once we get some official confirmation, then we'll be able to share that,"
He added: "I honestly haven't gone deeply into the medical reports. I mean, I rely on the experts to tell me what is happening. He is being assessed. And we'll know in due course."
In order to prepare for Jadeja and Bumrah's abscence for the World Cup, the Indian think-tank is testing out different team combination and skill-sets in different conditions. With Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Deepak Chahar already getting game time, Siraj and Mohammad Shami are also in the mix and in contention to take the spot, should Bumrah be officially ruled out.
Dravid said, "I think, in terms of the skills in the squad, everyone being fit from here on, I think we're quite comfortable that we've got all the skills that will allow us to play different combinations and different kinds of XIs based on the different wickets that we might get in Australia and the different oppositions."
He added: "I mean obviously, over the last few series, we probably haven't been able to play that squad due to a variety of reasons, and that can happen, but I think that most of the guys in the 15 now have had a pretty decent amount of cricket, at least in the last six months here."
