The 2014 season is over for nearly all of the Boston Red Sox's minor league affiliates, and by and large, what a successful season it was.

Both the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox and the rookie ball Gulf Coast League Red Sox won their league's respective championships, while Double-A Portland saw a deep playoff run of its own. Add in some talented young players showing off their skills at Salem, Greenville and Lowell, and fans of Boston's farm system had plenty to watch this season.

With nearly everyMiLB season now in the books, it's the perfect time to dole out awards to Boston's most talented prospects. In this deep of a farm system, the competition was certainly stiff, but by pointing out the best and the brightest in Boston's farm system, we can highlight players who should make an impact in 2015 and beyond.

To qualify for these awards, players must have started the season with prospect eligibility (fewer than 130 MLB at-bats or 50 MLB innings pitched).

MVP: Mookie Betts, OF/2B

While not all of their young talent has acclimated well to the majors, the Red Sox have been blessed with several outstanding performances from individual prospects this season. Yet, despite the fierce competition he faced for this award, no prospect has been more valuable to Boston in 2014 than Betts.

The numbers Betts put up this season as a 21-year-old are truly staggering. He hit .355/.433/.551 in 253 PA in Portland, representing his first taste of professional baseball above the High-A level. He then hit .335/.417/.503 in 211 PA in Pawtucket, learning a new position in the outfield along the way.

And in the majors, Betts has hit .291/.367/.455 in 151 PA, cementing himself as Boston's leadoff hitter, showing defensive versatility and flashing a unique blend of power and speed. In a season that was supposed to serve as Xander Bogaerts' coming-out party, Betts has stolen the show instead.

If we assume that Dustin Pedroia, Yoenis Cespedes and Rusney Castillo will start everyday for the Red Sox in 2015, Betts could have a difficult time breaking into the lineup this season, even with his impressive contributions this year.

BILLINGS Heres a national issue in which Montana has raced out in front of the pack: turtles.

State Fish Wildlife and Park officials have concluded there is no room under the Big Sky for red-eared slider turtles, the kind that have been popular in pet shops for decades. Turns out the turtles willingness to eat just about anything makes it highly competitive with native species when owners with buyers remorse release the hard-shelled pet into the wild.

Red-eared sliders are on the list of the 100 most invasive species in the world, said Allison Begley of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Theyre omnivores. They eat anything, and they adapt to any habitat.

Red-eared sliders, which get their name from the red markings on the sides of their heads, have been found in Riverfront Park in Billings, the Lee Metcalf Wilderness and Spring Meadow State Park in Helena, according to FWP. The turtles often get dumped in the fall by owners with second thoughts about keeping a turtle around in a basement or garage during the winter.

Now that the reptiles are verboten, animal advocates like Dave Pauli, a Humane Society wildlife capture and field project specialist, are concerned even more turtles will be released.

But Pauli has a plan. Hes going to load up a trailer with as many red-eared sliders as Montanans will offer and drive the turtles to a Texas lake, where the turtles are native. He said he will make his turtle trip to Texas in October.

The unique thing about his project, besides giving people the opportunity to turn in turtles, is that it gives a bunch of the turtles the chance to be released into a large lake in Texas, Burro Lake.

The lake is on a wildlife sanctuary created for relocated Grand Canyon burros. Paulis trip is no pedal-to-the-metal exercise. Turtles take time. The ones Pauli receives will spend weeks in large ponds in Montana getting used to catching food, diving deep and swimming beyond the glass walls of an aquarium.

A turtle that has lived in shallow water in a short glass tank doesnt know how to manage the sink-or-swim pond life. Pauli said the animals will be tested to see which are fit for release and which continue to need looking after.

Thursday, Pauli was working with a red-eared slider that was swimming the length of a pool 25 feet long. That turtle will be joined by other turtles submitted during the one-time, red-eared slider turtle turn-in program.

MIRI: Parents are seeing red and calling for heads to roll over the leaked Science and English UPSR papers this year, saying so many innocent people have been affected.

SUPP assistant secretary-general Karambir Singh said he had received many complaints from parents who wanted justice to be done over what he regarded as sheer incompetence on the part of the relevant authority and distress to all those affected.

He said this when asked for comments on the leaked papers which forced the Education Ministry to reschedule the exam.

Parent are saying it is unfair as their children do not come across the leaked papers but are also affected, and they want whoever is responsible to be punished, he said.

The Education Ministry yesterday dropped the second bombshell in as many days with the announcement that Year 6 pupils would have to resit their UPSR English paper following another leak.

Second Education Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh said the leaks were discovered yesterday morning. Pupils sat for English Paper 1 which started at 10.30 am and ended at 11.20am while Paper 2 was from 12.20pm until 1.35pm.

This is the second UPSR paper leaked after the ministry yesterday said the Science paper which the students were due to sit this morning has been postponed to Sept 30 after it was also leaked.

"The Roosevelts: An Intimate History." This seven-part, 14-hour chronicle of a family that helped shape not only American history but American identity is a stunning reminder of why Ken Burns, having revolutionized the documentary series, continues to be the best in the business.

Though focusing on the most famous members of the Roosevelt family -- Theodore, Franklin and Eleanor -- Burns and his team carefully construct a vivid context for their remarkable story. Both presidents were plagued by illness -- Teddy almost died during childhood and was a chronic asthmatic, Franklin was stricken with polio as a young man -- all three suffered loss and emerged from dysfunctionally high-status families with a determination to change the world.

------------

FOR THE RECORD

In an earlier version of this post, "Honorable" was misspelled as "Honourable" for the show "The Honorable Woman."

------------

Which they absolutely did. Assembling his inevitably high-wattage team, Burns explains how and why. George Will heads a slew of insightful, articulate historians, Peter Coyote narrates, and host of A-listers lend their voices: Paul Giamatti to Teddy, Ed Herrman to Franklin (whom he played in the memorable "Franklin and Eleanor") and Meryl Streep to Eleanor. PBS, Sundays, 8 p.m.

"The Red Band Society." This new dramedy set in a pediatric hospital no doubt owes its existence to the return of fatal illness to the YA scene, where the children of those who sobbed their way through "Brian's Song," "Something for Joey" and "Sunshine" are now addicted to the works of John Green.

But the story, which derives from the successful Spanish series "Polsere Vermelles" created by cancer survivor Albert Espinosa, is adapted by creator Margaret Nagle's childhood experience of seeing her young brother going into a coma after a car accident.

There's also a surprisingly high "MASH" factor. The young patients here find many ways to fight the system and distract themselves from the reason of its existence (weed replacing Hawkeye's still). How it will sustain itself remains to be seen, but as anyone who has spent any time on a pediatric wing knows, it is indeed a world unto itself. Fox, Wednesdays, 9 p.m.

LAKELAND | Lake Gibson would rather forget last year's game against Kathleen

LAKE GIBSON QUARTERBACKCasey Whitaker is third in the county in passing.

The Red Devils, on the other hand, built on the dramatic five-overtime 45-44 victory, went on to win the district title and beat their other city rival, Lakeland, to end the season.

So when the two teams meet at 7:30 tonight at Virgil Ramage Stadium, it won't be your ordinary non-district game. It might not even be your ordinary rivalry game.

Both teams are undefeated at 2-0, yet neither team has truly been tested in the regular season. Both had tough Kickoff Classic losses Lake Gibson to Lakeland and Kathleen to Lake Wales.

The similarities end there.

Lake Gibson heads into tonight's game with its offense clicking in all phases, leading the county in rushing offense, total offense and scoring offense. Quarterback Casey Whitaker is third in the county with 342 yards passing and is tied for first with four touchdown passes.

For Kathleen, having to contend with a high-powered Lake Gibson passing game isn't new, as Trey Congdon was one of the top passers in the county last year. But Thomas Boles, who has rushed for 368 yards in two games, gives the Braves a bigger running threat than last year.

"We feel a little better than we did in the spring (about the offense)," Lake Gibson coach Keith DeMyer said. "We're getting better every week."

Montana turtle ban sparks Texas rescue mission

There is a lot of positivity coursing through Cork camogie this year.

After the Noughties had provided five titles, the senior side are yet to win an All-Ireland this decade.

Nevertheless, the Rebelettes have been building a strong title claim this year and only unbeaten Kilkenny stand between them and ODuffy Cup glory. Testament to the upbeat nature of the camp was the reaction to the drawn semi-final with Wexford.

A late Una Leacy goal had denied Cork a place in the decider, but star forward Orla Cotter maintains that a calm reaction kept Cork heads in the right place. To let in a goal in injury-time was very disappointing, but we regrouped well and we knew if we played to the best of our ability and got another performance out of ourselves we could beat them on the day. Everyone is going to make mistakes on the day of a match. Its about what you do after the mistake to rectify that and go again for the next ball. We just looked at staying positive and getting another performance.

The subsequent replay win over Wexford was a seminal moment for the Leesiders, coming against opponents who had soundly beaten them in the round robin stage.

The loss to Wexford really made us look at where we were in the year. It was at a midway point and it was our first real test. Wexford came at us at the very start of that game and it was something we werent going to let happen to us again. I think we proved that in the semi-finals.

Cork had exited the 2013 championship at that semi-final stage, losing narrowly to the same opponents who await them in the final. This year, however, Cork will arrive in full knowledge of the battle that awaits them and ready to counter with an onslaught of their own.

Last year we didnt do ourselves justice in the semi-final. I think our attitude this year is a lot stronger and more positive and we know itll be a huge fight on Sunday, but its one were looking forward to.

Cotter has taken over the free-taking this year and her championship tally of 1-40 has helped Cork to wins over the interim All-Ireland champions Galway and Wexford this year. But the St Catherines woman doesnt feel that her new-found responsibility will carry any extra pressure into her fourth final as a starter, and her first operating in advance of the midfield sector. She insists: All over the team people have a job to do. My role is first and foremost to play to the best of my ability and the frees just come along with that. Its an important job but everyone practises for what they do.

Its great if you can get the first one, it sets you up nicely for the day, but if you miss one you just have to look to the next one and hope it goes over.

Whincup keen to roll on through Enduros

Photo Source: AAP

If preparation is any guide, Jamie Whincup and Paul Dumbrell are a rolled gold chance to repeat their 2013 Sandown triumph this weekend.

The form lines have converged for Whincup - who boasts a championship lead, a last-start win at the Melbourne circuit and a co-driver given every opportunity to practise in the Red Bull Holden.

Dumbrell's time in Whincup's seat is in stark contrast to last year, when he came into the endurance races without similar preparation.

Last year's edition of the 500km race was a classic, with Whincup racing through the field to win after the team copped a drive-through penalty for a spinning wheel in pit lane.

With the 2014 race on Sunday, Whincup is hoping that Dumbrell's hours both in the Dunlop Development series and his own Commodore become a big factor.

"Paul wasn't completely comfortable in the car last year because he hadn't driven all year," he said.

"We've rectified that this year, he's done a heap of laps in the development series, he's done laps in my car at test days.

"We'll give him everything he needs, it's up to me to give him a balanced racecar, hopefully he gets the most out of himself."

TIME wasting tactics have seen Ballarat Red Devils hold off a fiery Pascoe Vale at Morshead Park and exit the league relegation zone.

TIME wasting tactics have seen Ballarat Red Devils hold off a fiery Pascoe Vale at Morshead Park and exit the league relegation zone.

The McDonalds Reds recorded a 2-0 win with 26 minutes remaining in Wednesday night's conclusion to an abandoned round 18 match.

Pascoe Vale started the match with blistering intensity, having been told by coach Vitale Ferrante beforehand that it was an opportunity for a "free swing".

Several minutes of relentless pressure saw the Red Devils revert to sending the ball flying out onto the adjacent Pleasant Street at every opportunity, requiring extra balls to be fetched a number of times.

One avid fan, at the request of keeper Aaron Romein, refused to toss the ball back in play for nearly 30 seconds before hurling it over the players' heads and into open space when instructed to by the match referee.

All the while, the match clock ticked towards that magical 26-minute mark.

Pascoe Vale's relentless pressure nearly saw it break through for a number of goals in the final 10 minutes of play.

Romein displayed a strong set of hands to extinguish any chance of a successful header 19 minutes in, and showed enough nous to tip a long range strike off to the left moments later.

BOSTON - Nelson Cruz had a pair of hits and Miguel Gonzalez took a shutout into the seventh inning as the Baltimore Orioles opened a double-digit lead in the AL East with a 4-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night.

The Orioles lead the division by 10 games, and the second-place New York Yankees have 21 games to play. Baltimore's previous double-digit lead in the division was in 1979.

Gonzalez (9-7) allowed six hits and three walks while striking out four in 61/3 innings. He has allowed just four earned runs in his last 342/3 innings over five starts, winning four of them. Steve Pearce also had two hits for Baltimore, which has won nine of its last 12 games.

Joe Kelly (1-2) allowed three earned runs, six hits and three walks in 61/3 innings. He also hit two batters, and struck out six.

The last-place Red Sox had only one runner reach second base in the first six innings and did not put a runner on third until the seventh. They loaded the bases with three straight singles against Gonzalez in the seventh, but Tommy Hunter struck out Will Middlebrooks and David Ross to end the inning.

Baltimore went ahead on singles by Cruz, Chris Davis and Pearce in the second. The Orioles added two runs in the sixth thanks to a walk, a hit batter and an error on shortstop Xander Bogaerts when he couldn't convert a double play. Another failed double play helped Baltimore score a run in the seventh.

TRAINER'S ROOM

Orioles: SS J.J. Hardy missed the game - his third in a row - and was sent back to Baltimore to have an MRI on his ailing back. Hardy said he took some groundballs and swings but wasn't healthy enough to play. He was scheduled to fly to Baltimore for tests and a possible cortisone shot.

Red Sox: DH David Ortiz (right foot) and 1B Mike Napoli (illness) returned after missing Sunday's game.

UP NEXT: The teams play the second game of the three-game series on tonight, with Christ Tillman (11-5) scheduled to face Boston rookie Anthony Ranaudo (3-1). The Orioles' magic number to clinch the AL East is 11.

Orioles beat sloppy Red Sox

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) -- As the southeastern United States heads into the most active time of hurricane season, the American Red Cross is urging people to prepare for major storms.

And officials are using the 25th anniversary of Hurricane Hugo to talk about preparation. The Red Cross is gearing up for its week-long disaster relief classes as a part of the Prepare SC campaign.

Jim Strohm, the disaster relief chairman with the nonprofit, says he remembers Hurricane Hugo like it was just yesterday.

I stayed in my house with 10 other people. Luckily, I didn't have any trees hit my house and I don't know what I would've done if one did, said Strohm.

Strohm says he wasn't a Red Cross volunteer back then, but he wishes he was.

It was 10 or 15 days before people had electricity restored. Four to 10 days for water restoration, but now that I'm in the Red Cross I'll be better able to respond if something like that happens again, said Strohm.

If a hurricane does hit the Lowcountry again, the Red Cross wants the people of the Lowcountry to be prepared. It's the reason they are offering free classes on what everyone needs to know in case of a disaster.

What type of a plan do you need for you family, or what type of things you should have in a home kit are all the things we will be teaching, said Strohm.

The Red Cross will also be giving classes for people who would like to be become volunteers.

When it comes to Jackie Bradley Jr., Red Sox manager John Farrell is a man of his word.

The plan was to send down the offensively challenged center fielder in August to let him work on things in Triple A only to be called back up in September to finish out the string with the Red Sox.

So there was Bradley at the locker he called home for most of the season putting on his Red Sox gear yesterday before the team opened a three-game set with the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park.

Well when we sent him out we said we would bring him back in September and feel like the work that hes been doing in Pawtucket can continue and will continue here with us in Boston, Farrell said.

The numbers suggest Bradleys time in Pawtucket mirrored what was going on during the entirety of the season. The 24-year-old hit .211 (16-for-76) in 16 games, including two postseason games, for the PawSox with a double, home run and five RBI. Bradley is hitting .216 with one home run and 30 RBI for the year with the Red Sox. In August, he failed to record an extra base-hit in 35 at-bats with a.143 batting average, 15 strikeouts and two walks.

There were reports that Bradley was sent down for other reasons other than what was happening with his on-field production. Farrell was asked about the reports hes received about Bradleys ability to implement the adjustments he needed to work on at the minor league level.

Somewhat. I cant say its complete, the manager said. I dont think a player is ever complete in his work and his adjustments. So thats ongoing.

The ongoing conversation for Farrell and his staff will be figuring when and where to get Bradley into a game. Yoenis Cespedes, barring a day off from Farrell, seems to be cemented in left, while Mookie Betts has outplayed anybody else that could potentially play center field. Farrell is still trying to see what kind of production he can get from a platoon of Allen Craig and Daniel Nava in right.

It will be a balance to get everybody some equal playing time and I cant even guarantee that it will be equal, because we are trying to get a read on multiple guys, Allen Craig is one of them, obviously Mookie the way that he has progressed this year. Daniel Nava continues to earn at-bats against right-handed pitching, Farrell said. We will balance it as best we can.

Bradleys role right now is undefined, and part of that is the way Betts has taken control of the job. Betts has had a multi-hit game in four of his last seven appearances, with three home runs and his first grand slam of his career against Tampa Bay. Hes making Farrells decision to pull him out of the lineup a difficult one, much like Brock Holt did earlier in the season.

HARRISON, New Jersey (AP) - Bradley Wright-Phillips scored his Major League Soccer-leading 21st goal of the season to help the New York Red Bulls beat Sporting Kansas City 2-1 on Saturday.

Wright-Phillips scored on a penalty in the 11th minute after he was tripped by Matt Besler. Former France international Thierry Henry made it 2-0 in the 52nd minute, curling a shot past Sporting goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum.

Dominic Dwyer pulled one back for Kansas City two minutes later, but Sporting couldnt find the equalizer.

Elsewhere, Giles Barnes scored two goals to lead the Houston Dynamo past the Montreal Impact 3-2.

Barnes opened the scoring in the 30th minute, capitalizing on a defensive mistake to send a shot past goalkeeper Evan Bush.

Montreals Dilly Duka equalized in the 40th, but Houston responded with two goals in a three-minute span - one by Barnes, the other by Ricardo Clark - to put the game out of reach.

In Sandy, Utah, Costa Rica international Alvaro Saborio headed home the winner off Javier Morales corner in the 77th minute as Real Salt Lake beat FC Dallas 2-1.

Saborio came in as a substitute for Olmes Garcia in the 76th minute for his first action following a six-month layoff due to a foot injury.

In one of India's bustling red light districts, a madam puts up a school for prostitutes to equip them with skills necessary to escape their current plight

MANILA, Philippines Dusshera Chowk in India is a thriving red light district home to more than 200 sex workers. But Madam Bandawa, who heads the red light area, has bigger plans for her girls.

Madam Bandawa put up a school for the prostitutes, teaching them basic reading, writing and math. She says some of the sex workers are illiterate, hence turning to prostitution.

As they learn how to read, write, and manage their earnings they become equipped with skills they may use to escape their current plight.

But Madam Bandawa couldnt handle it just by herself. She needs a dedicated volunteer teacher who can provide something more than basic education. You may course your leads through Mansoor Chetlu of New Life MFI by email. Rappler.com

Education at the red light district

BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox, the defending World Series champions reduced to the role of spoiler, did just that to the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night.

The last-place Red Sox tied the score with three runs in the eighth inning, fell behind by two in the 10th and then rallied for three in the bottom of the inning to pull out a wild 9-8 win.

Boston left fielder Yoenis Cespedes got his fourth hit of the game, a long single with the bases loaded, to cap the 10th-inning rally againstCasey Janssen(3-3).

To make things worse for the Jays, who had a five-game winning streak snapped, Toronto also lost left fielderMelky Cabrerafor the rest of the season with a fractured right pinky finger and other damage. He will have surgery next week.

The Blue Jays came into the game 4 1/2 games behind theDetroit Tigersfor the second wild card spot and built their 6-3 lead on the 30th homers of the season by right fielderJose Bautistaand first basemanEdwin Encarnacion. Both were two-run shots.

After the Jays scored two in the top of the 10th, the first four Red Sox singled in the bottom half -- catcher Christian Vazquez loading the bases by popping a bunt over the heads of the charging infield. Third basemanWill Middlebrooks, playing because Brock Holt left with an illness, then snapped an 0-for-18 spell with a ground single.

Second basemanDustin Pedroia, back after missing five games with a concussion, tied the score with a sacrifice fly. DHDavid Ortizhit a slow grounder to second basemanSteve Tolleson, whose backhand flip to second was wild, loading the bases for Cespedes.

An RBI single by center fielder Mookie Betts and a two-run double by fellow rookieXander Bogaertstied the score in the eighth inning for Boston.

Bautista ripped his homer off starter Allen Webster with the Jays down 3-2 -- his 31st career homer against the Red Sox, 19 of them in 45 games atFenway Park. He reached the 30-homer mark for the third time in his career and for the first time in four years. Encarnacion then reached 30 for the third time in the last four years.

DHAdam Lindhad a two-run single for Toronto, while shortstop Bogaerts had three hits for the Red Sox.
