[video] Quick Take: China Cheapens Stocks
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Global equity markets were lower on Wednesday due to China's worry of inflation and tightening monetary policy.
TheStreet's Debra Borchardt is with Alan Valdes of DME Securities, who said that it's actually a good thing that China is tightening its monetary policy, motivated by potential inflation fears after seeing increased consumer spending.
However, he did express caution that China would have to be careful in regards to how much they tighten, but suggested that it should be OK.
He also said that their housing market has been doing well, but admitted that overall, Chinese growth will likely start to slow down a bit in the future.Valdes also suggested that today's macro news might just be an excuse for some investors to start taking profits, realizing some of the large gains for the year. Aside from profit taking, he admitted that earnings have been relatively mixed, citing Boeing (BA), which did good, and Caterpillar (CAT), which did bad, as two that fit the bill. He concluded that with a few big companies still left to report earnings this week, like Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Ford (F), investors are simply locking in some gains and taking profits.

Josh Kramer, with the help of his wife Kara Ferris and father John Kramer, opened Burnt Fork BBQ in Decatur this past weekend in the space formally occupied by Jin Jin. The restaurant opened with a limited menu, but Kramer hopes to unveil the complete menu on Monday, Feb. 7th.
Though Burnt Fork BBQ serves many of the traditional southern barbecue staples like pulled pork sandwiches, beef brisket, and Brunswick stew, Kramer also takes a more international approach to his 'cue. Diners can expect menu items like Korean barbecue, Cuban sandwiches, Vietnamese lamb or Peking duck tacos, and barbacoa. And though they are not featured on the limited menu currently, Kramer told me that he will also offer a BBQ potsticker, filled with pulled pork and Napa cabbage seasoned with sesame oil and rice wine vinegar.
Kramer prides himself on making everything from scratch, including his barbecue sauces. Burnt Fork currently offers a vinegar-based Carolina sauce, a sweet Memphis sauce, and a smoky Kansas City sauce. They also make all of their breads in-house and cure all of their own meats, down to the ham hocks used in their collard greens. Like many proprietors these days, Kramer has a strong focus on sustainability and sourcing locally whenever possible, using locally-raised pork from Moonshine Meats in Athens, Ga., and utilizing compostable packaging.
Burnt Fork BBQ also aims to be one of the few vegan and vegetarian friendly barbecue options in town, as Kramer's wife is vegan and he is no stranger the inconveniences that can pose as a customer. Many of their menu items can have the traditional proteins substituted for marinated tofu, including the aforementioned pot stickers with a Korean tofu option.
And for those die-hard barbecue nerds out there – like myself – Kramer smokes his meats on a Fast Eddy's 100% wood burning pellet smoker by Cookshack, unlike many of the shops in town that are so fond of the gas or electric Southern Pride smokers. Kramer says that this is because it has less of a tendency to suck moisture from the air inside the smoker, yielding juicer meat. 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays, 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Sundays. 614 Church Street, Decatur. 404-373-7155, www.burntforkbbq.com, $-$$

the reason many restaurants use southern prides is due to the volume they have to cook! why not go true offset wood smoker if he is such a diehard and not use pellets! what are we hamsters!!!

I'm also curious about BBQ joints that claim local sourcing for Pig..I know the market price for Smithfield. Is locally farmed around the same price point?

Great! A BBQ place that claims to buy locally grown pork. If Moonshine Meats can't even stick to the claims and protocols they make for Farm Burger, I can only imagine where this pork actually comes from. You've been eating grain fed culled cows and research cattle slaughtered at Auburn University and supplied to Farm Burger by Gum Creek "Farms" to keep up with their demand all along…amazing what making a buck will make some do, isn't it?

TF, do you mean by evidence receipts from the Carrollton Livestock Sale Barn? There IS some source verified beef being served at FB, but not all of it, perhaps not even a majority of it. It's sad. Especially when there are farmers who actually raise tremendously good grassfed beef locally who follow the rules and don't make concessions about their production practices in order to make more money than they are. FB started with good intentions about their beef suppliers. But decided to deal with the devil and turn a blind eye and deaf ear to the reality of the situation. That's all I will comment on this. But if you're willing to follow the production chain from farm to restaurant, try. You can't because they don't really know the source of the cattled harvested for FB burgers.

Is there any BBQ joint in Atlanta that still smokes its meat over real wood. Most of what is being sold around this city is a fraud. You can make the same stufff they sell in a crock pot. You would do a great service to run a list of places that made the real stuff, and even have a 5 Daimond List for places that smoke over an open pit.

I drove past Burnt Fork a few weeks ago and look forward to trying it (I'll trying anything with BBQ in the name…).
But don't get too hung up on their cookers – smoke and heat source are two separate issues in BBQ. My grandfather's joint was open pit (Fisherman, they're illegal here unless grandfathered in) and temp control was a nightmare. My stick-burner at home requires me to babysit it for the duration of a smoke (it's not a Lang or anything else expensive), and most of that work is to control the heat. My gas smoker maintains consistent heat and my only concern is maintaining the material for smoke (wood chips). The result is I can turn out a more consistent (and consistently better) product and I get to occasionally sit down and enjoy a beer.
My bigger concern is the apparent breadth of menu – I'd rather see a BBQ joint focus (especially at the beginning) rather that trying to please everyone. Vegan – please…
Regardless, still looking forward to trying and best of luck to them.

As the owner of both Moonshine Meats and Farm Burger, I would like to make clear to the readers of Food and More the accurate facts regarding Farm Burger's and Moonshine's sourcing practices. During our first 6 months while Moonshine Meats was developing its cooperative and beef supply, Farm Burger did purchase product outside of the Moonshine farming family. We sourced from a number of Georgia's most trusted and reputable suppliers, including Riverview Farms, White Oak Pastures, and Gum Creek Farms, all separate business entities from Moonshine. Gum Creek Farms is a trusted brand for sustainable meat in the metro area and supplies numerous high-end restaurants and markets. Their clients include other responsibly minded businesses such as Flip Burger, Muss and Turners, Woodfire Grill and many more. Further, as of December 1, 2010 Farm Burger's beef comes entirely from Moonshine's farms, all of which are local pasture-based operations adhering to a strict set of production protocols. We have never deterred from our grass-fed promise. The pork we supply for Burnt Fork adheres to the same high standards and is entirely pasture-raised on our local farms. We are farmers, first and foremost.
So, I personally invite you, LocalBeefFarmer, and any other readers, to email or meet with me directly to learn more about our operations and ethics. I invite you to visit our farms and our processor to vet our practices. We are entirely transparent and accessible, and would welcome your questions. Please email me at email@example.com. Jason Mann

From FarmBurger's Website: "…Our cows are raised on the sweet grasses of the southeast, and never fed antibiotics, hormones, or grain. Our menu is seasonal and sourced from local farms…"
When you purchase cattle from the Carrollton Livestock Sale Barn, it's like a box of chocolates…you never know what you're gonna get. This includes how many antibiotics or hormones have been administered, how many calves they've birthed, or how many owners they've had during the animals' lifetime.
This would go against your business philosophy, no? Oughta rename it LivestockAuctionBarnBurger. Too bad there's not a CarFax for cattle. CowFax…hmmmm…there's an idea.

I for one am very appreciative of Burnt Fork BBQ's varied menu. I do not eat red meat, but my husband and children do, so having something GOOD to eat when we go out for BBQ is a treat. I went for lunch this past Wednesday and had the Korean BBQ tofu taco, kale, and sweet potato chips. An entirely vegan and delicious meal! We look forward to frequenting this place, especially since is just around the corner.

I will give it a try but Viet food and vegan? Its a damn bbq joint for God's sake. And I am getting tired of all this farm to table crap in advertising. Most of the time it is a statement warning you that the bill is going to be double. It's a wonder all of us 40-60 year old folks made it before all of this.

In the last Top 10 in mid-September, it seemed that the Ringling Bros. Circus was heading for a third month at the top. Well, I can now report that that has indeed happened! This makes Ringling the first event to top the list for three months in a row since this series was started.
Last month I noted that it was Ringling's affordable tickets that was keeping it at the top, but what does that mean exactly? Well, the success of any event is based on demand for the tickets plus pricing them at a level ticket buyers are willing to pay. In September, the overall average selling price for Ringling Bros. tickets listed on TicketNetwork.com was $41. Between all the cities on the Ringling tour, average prices were mostly in the $30 range.

Taylor Swift is going back on tour, meaning there really was no competition in November. When added together, 65% more tickets were bought for Taylor Swift concerts than the nearest contender, Trans-Siberian Orchestra. She will likely continue to do well for at least the next couple weeks as more shows go on sale.
Meanwhile, TSO tickets are selling even better now that the holiday season is in full swing, and they've been joined in representing the holiday-themed shows by Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Also doing better is One Direction, who is back in the Top 3 after dropping to sixth place last month. Most of the rest of the Top 10 is pretty much the same, just with switched positions. The exception is the one other new event, Disney on Ice: Rockin' Ever After.
Tags: Top 10, Ticketing Trends, Taylor Swift, TSO, One Direction, Book of Mormon
The major story of last month is George Strait's Cowboy Rides Away Tour with Martina McBride. I don't believe I've seen a higher number of tickets bought for a performer (or a duo) in a month than I have for them. In fact, their tour accounts for 22% of all the tickets in this month's Top 10. I guess it just goes to show that it helps to be the king, and even more so when you're retiring in two years.
Meanwhile, singer-songwriter P!nk was the leading solo performer, with a strong showing all throughout the month. Trans-Siberian Orchestra moved up, which isn't unexpected since their tour is quickly approaching. On the other hand, One Direction moved down quite a bit after spending the previous two months in the Top 3. However, this also isn't surprising. Their current tour is soon ending, and the next doesn't begin until June 2013, so sales will likely pick back up later.
Finally, Maroon 5 entered the Top 10 for the first time with extremely strong sales, especially when you consider what other performers and shows are on the list.

SEATTLE (AP) - With the legalization of marijuana in Washington and Colorado, adults over 21 can freely use the drug and will soon be able to buy it in stores. But where does that leave lawyers, who take oaths to uphold state and federal law?
Proposals in both states would make clear that lawyers won't get in ethical trouble for smoking up in accordance with the laws, or for advising clients whose legal-pot businesses break federal law.
Washington's Supreme Court is due to take up the issue Wednesday.
Some states have wrestled with similar questions. Maine and Connecticut have warned that lawyers can risk committing ethical violations for helping clients break federal law, while Arizona says it's OK as long as lawyers caution their clients about the dangers of federal prosecution.

How cancer chromosome abnormalities form in living cells
August 12, 2013
National Cancer Institute (NCI) scientists have directly observed events that lead to the formation of a chromosome abnormality that is often found in cancer cells.
The abnormality, called a translocation, occurs when part of a chromosome breaks off and becomes attached to another chromosome.
Chromosomes are thread-like structures inside cells that carry genes and function in heredity. Human chromosomes each contain a… read more

Cancer Research Highlights
Breast Cancers Can Change Biologically as They Progress and Relapse
In many women with recurrent breast cancer, the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status of their tumors changes between treatment for the primary tumor and relapse, a large retrospective study has found. The findings, published June 18 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, support previous studies that have also detected changes in these biomarkers during cancer progression.
These three biomarkers help doctors choose the best treatments for individual women. Therefore, tumors that recur in the breast or appear elsewhere in the body should be biopsied "as a routine procedure" because the results may influence treatment decisions, recommended the authors led by Dr. Linda Lindström of Cancer Center Karolinska in Sweden.
Dr. Lindström and her colleagues used information from pathology reports for 1,010 women treated at three hospitals in Stockholm, all of whom had biopsies taken from their primary and recurrent breast tumors. All three hospitals had stringent quality-control methods for verifying the accuracy of all three biomarkers.
Primary and recurrent tumors from 459 women were tested for ER expression. In almost 33 percent of those women, the ER status of the tumor changed (ER expression started or stopped) between treatment and relapse. More than 40 percent of the 430 women whose tumors were tested for PR expression had a change in PR status between treatment and relapse. And almost 15 percent of the 104 women whose primary and recurrent tumors were tested for HER2 expression had a change in HER2 status between treatment and relapse.
In women whose cancers relapsed multiple times, similar proportions of changes to biomarkers were observed.
Prior treatment appeared to influence some biomarker changes. For example, women previously treated with hormone therapy were more likely than women who did not receive hormone therapy to have changes in tumor ER expression. The authors also found that women with ER-positive primary tumors that lost ER expression at relapse had a higher risk of death than women with stable tumor ER expression.
Treatment for metastatic breast cancer is often based on primary tumor characteristics. For some patients, biopsy results will show that the tumor has changed. Therefore, "verifications will be important and may change management options," concluded the authors.
World Health Organization Classifies Diesel Exhaust a Human Carcinogen
On June 12, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization, classified diesel engine exhaust as carcinogenic to humans (a group 1 carcinogen). The decision was based on an IARC working group's opinion that the body of evidence supports an association between diesel exhaust exposure and an increased risk of lung cancer. The working group also found a positive association—though with limited evidence—between diesel exhaust exposure and bladder cancer.
IARC published a summary of the working group's evaluation in Lancet Oncology on June 18.
In 1988, IARC classified diesel exhaust as probably carcinogenic to humans (a group 2A carcinogen), and in 1998 an agency advisory group recommended a priority review of the association. The revised classification is based on results from several large human studies, including the recently published Diesel Exhaust in Miners Study (DEMS), led by NCI and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
"We are pleased that data from our study played an important role in the re-evaluation by providing some of the strongest evidence of an association between diesel exhaust and lung cancer risk," said Dr. Debra Silverman, chief of the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch in NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics and a lead investigator on the DEMS study.
"There was a tremendous amount of scientific evidence…around the potential harmful effects of diesel exhaust: dozens of epidemiological studies, dozens if not hundreds of laboratory studies in laboratory animals, and then literally thousands of molecular biology and other types of studies looking at fundamental cellular processes and how they're affected" by diesel exhaust or its constituents, said Dr. Christopher Portier, chair of the IARC working group, at a press conference.
"Our role has been to summarize the scientific evidence and to put that into the public domain" but not to address permissible levels of exposure or other regulatory issues, explained IARC Director Dr. Christopher Wild. "Having provided that evidence base, it's really then up to national and international regulatory authorities to weigh that [in] the balance with other factors," he added.
These issues may be particularly important in the developing world, where older, more polluting diesel technology is still widely used and where emissions regulations are lacking, he concluded.
Pre-Existing Mutations May Explain Development of Resistance to Targeted Cancer Drugs
Most patients with advanced colorectal cancer treated with the drug panitumumab (Vectibix) develop resistance to the treatment, and a new study suggests why. Even before patients begin the treatment, a small percentage of their tumor cells may harbor genetic mutations that make the tumors resistant to the drug, researchers reported in Nature on June 13.
Colorectal tumors without KRAS gene mutations usually develop resistance to panitumumab within several months. To study why, Dr. Luis Diaz of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center and his colleagues analyzed blood samples from 28 patients for common mutations in the KRAS gene that confer resistance to the drug. The blood samples were collected before treatment and at 4-week intervals during treatment.
Four of the 28 patients were known to harbor KRAS mutations in their tumors, and the researchers detected mutant forms of the KRAS gene in blood samples from 3 of these patients before they began treatment. No KRAS mutations were detected in blood samples obtained before treatment from the 24 patients whose tumor tissue was believed to contain nonmutated KRAS.
An analysis of blood samples taken during treatment indicated that 9 of those 24 patients developed KRAS mutations over the course of treatment. The timing of the appearance of the KRAS mutations was consistent with the time it typically takes for panitumumab resistance to emerge, 5 or 6 months.
The researchers used these findings to develop a mathematical model of tumor evolution in patients who initially responded to panitumumab. The model indicated that tumors probably contained cells with KRAS mutations before the patients started panitumumab treatment. Once treatment started, the number of resistant cells increased. The authors suggest that "resistance is therefore a fait accompli."
The fact that a substantial proportion of patients in the study developed mutations in a single gene suggests that only a limited number of mutations and genes may confer resistance, the researchers noted. This finding is encouraging because it may be possible to avoid resistance by treating patients with drugs that target at least two pathways, they concluded.
Testing Combination Therapy Could Reveal Clues to Biology of Pancreatic Cancer
A small number of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer have responded to an experimental treatment regimen in which a targeted drug is given alone and then in combination with chemotherapy. Although they are preliminary, the results suggest that some patients with this deadly disease may benefit from the regimen, researchers reported at the Pancreatic Cancer: Progress and Challenges meeting, held June 18–21 in Lake Tahoe, NV.
The 18 trial participants initially received vismodegib (Erivedge) alone for several weeks and then vismodegib plus gemcitabine. After 3 months, half of the patients showed no disease progression or had a partial response. Vismodegib, a pill that is approved for some patients with skin cancer, inhibits the Hedgehog signaling pathway, a growth-promoting pathway that is inactive in most adult tissues but switched on in some pancreatic cancer cells.
The activated Hedgehog pathway may also help prevent chemotherapy drugs from reaching pancreatic tumors by contributing to the development of dense stromal cells around tumors, explained lead investigator Dr. Edward Kim of the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center at a press briefing. Vismodegib, he suggested, has the potential to alter these cells in a way that makes chemotherapy more effective.
But Dr. Kim noted that even if the combination therapy benefits the patient for a time, cancer stem cells within pancreatic tumors may lead to resistance. These cells are thought to have the ability to self-renew. Previous studies have indicated that the Hedgehog pathway may be more active in pancreatic cancer stem cells than in other pancreatic tumor cells.
A goal of the current trial is to learn whether targeting the Hedgehog pathway in pancreatic cancer stem cells might benefit patients. A comparison of biopsies taken before and after starting vismodegib could show the effects of the drug on the Hedgehog pathway and reveal which patients are most likely to benefit from the regimen.
A trial of another Hedgehog inhibitor in pancreatic cancer was recently stopped after negative results. So it will be important to learn more about this pathway and its role in pancreatic cancer, noted Dr. Daniel Von Hoff of the Translational Genomics Research Institute, who moderated the press briefing.

SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO) - Golfing at Elmwood Golf Course can be a tall order. Now, stack on storm damage, wind, taking clothing off because it got warm and putting clothes back on because it got cold, and oh yes, the rain. Those were the challenges the girls golf teams from Sioux Falls Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt and O'Gorman had to endure.
"There was a lot of moving with the elements today," said Claire Jansa, O'Gorman Team Captain. "I had to think a lot out there today with the wind and other distractions. But, it was good to be outside again."
Jansa is the only senior on the O'Gorman team. She reflected on the missed matches that won't be made up this season.
"Right now my focus in on the City Matches and I can't look beyond that right now," said Jansa. "I am going to do my best and let the shots fall where they may."
When asked about her thoughts on the state tournament, Jansa said, "I would like to finish out my senior year with a bang.
Coach Rod Garrison was pleased with the way his team played. He said the elements like the late Spring greens, the wind, the cold and the rain weren't conducive to shoot really low scores.
"We need to play another good round Monday at Westward Ho," said Garrison. "Country clubs like Westward Ho are great equalizers." Not many players have played there yet this year so it will make it interesting. This year due to weather restrictions, we had to cut the City Tournament from three to two matches."
The results of the first round are as follows:
SF O'Gorman 316
SF Lincoln 370
SF Roosevelt 399
SF Washington 400
Individual Results:
1. OGorman - Kelsey Johnson 72
2. O'Gorman - Claire Jansa 79
3. O'Gorman - Jamie Benedict 79
4. Lincoln Abbie Grevlos 84
5. Lincoln - Mae Meierhenry 85
6. O'Gorman - Myla Brown 86
7. O'Gorman - Meredith Turner 87
8. O'Gorman - Annie Simon 88
9. Roosevelt - Taylor Leasure 88
10. Washington - Ashlee Eggebraaten 90
* Next round will be played at Westward Ho Country Club Monday starting at 1100.

What are you looking
in the water for?
I am looking
to fall in love with
my opposite. Narcissists
are on their own side
so that is not me.
I would be a sensualist
if there was no such thing
as numbers. Get naked
it's too much to count.
Hang me upside down
over the water
as a waif
whose pubic hair
is back in style.
Give me a year as her
to fuck who I want.
I will invent
a new style
of fucking
called fuck-your-wish
and still feel nothing.
Who would you be
with no body?
Fire. Next wave
Make me fire."

Three developers building on a total of 35 acres on Rockville Pike in North Bethesda are expected to submit their sketch plans for their sites, which include residential and office space, hotels and retail, to the county planning board in late January.
It's the first step in a revitalization the county estimates will generate $7 billion in tax revenue over 30 years.
"The commercial tax base and employers and job creation and all the economic development priority that was realized in Bethesda can be surpassed in White Flint," said Hilary Goldfarb, a developer with Promark Real Estate Services LLC, which is developing 11 acres there.
With the county's ever-increasing population and limited space -- just 4 percent of the 495 developable square miles is untouched -- White Flint has been targeted as the next hot place to attract Generation Y taxpayers and rival Bethesda's bars, restaurants and outdoor amenities.
According to Nkosi Yearwood, a county planner, nearly half of White Flint's 400 acres are parking lots.
"That says there's an opportunity to do something better for Montgomery County," he said.
Greg Trimmer, a developer with JBG, said the plans transform the sprawl into a 24-hour environment to attract twenty- and thirtysomethings.
"We're right at that inflection point of ceasing to become a suburban market and becoming a more downtown urban market," he said.
JBG is building phase II of its North Bethesda Market development near Nicholson Lane on four acres where office buildings and a Chili's restaurant now stand. The plan calls for 415 apartments, 225,000 square feet of office space and 70,000 square feet of retail.
JBG's phase I is nearing completion with Whole Foods and L.A. Fitness expected to open in April, and apartment have begun leasing.
Across the pike, Promarks' 11-acre development is a joint effort with three landowners, including car dealer Jack Fitzgerald. The office buildings and dealership will be transformed into commercial office buildings, a 13-story hotel and buildings totaling 1,127 residential units.
Federal Realty's 22-acre Mid-Pike Plaza project north of Old Georgetown Road also is set to deliver sketch plans to the county. It calls for 1,725 residential units, a hotel, retail and more than 1 million square feet of office space.

Munich Calling: Cadence is Ready for software
5 comments post a comment
Tan is adamant that Cadence will continue to invest in the IP functions it has acquired as well as looking out for more IP. "We have 600-plus people in the IP R&D team. It's not just buy it and sell it as best you can. We bought Denali in May 2010 and invested in them. It has done really well for us," said Tan.
So does that mean Cadence will be moving into other areas such as RF and software? What Cadence will supply depends on what customers ask for. "Customers are starting to go vertical. They employ three software engineers for every one hardware engineer. So what software are they prepared to outsource?" asked Tan.
The appointment of Ready was not widely reported at the time. "We are interested in open-source, in Linux in software-defined networks, software-defined radio. We are looking at lots of things," said Tan
Does that mean getting involved with projects such as the Heterogeneous Systems Alliance Foundation, formed by Advanced Micro Devices, ARM and others? Tan is non-committal. "ARM is a partner for many things. We collaborate with ARM."
Tan also makes the point that while Cadence prepares for the future it's prime directive is to listen to the customer and what their pain points are, because that is what they will buy right now. "In IP cores there is still a lot of room. The market is in its early stages," he said.

Baltimore Sun
As much as I like the work of the Rangers' Yu Darvish and the Orioles' Jason Hammel, let's give this one to the home team. I'd put Royals closer Jonathan Broxton on the team with the game being played in Kansas City this year.
It's not like you're adding a stiff. Broxton has 20 saves in 23 opportunities and a 2.05 ERA. Right now, designated hitter Billy Butler is the Royals' only representative. The Royals usually get just one because they are a small-market team and they haven't won in years. It just makes sense to give them a second All-Star. But this is MLB, so don't expect sense to have anything to do with it.
Wouldn't it be great if Broxton came in to save the game with the fans in Kansas City going bonkers? Vote Broxton.
Peavy deserves it
Jake Peavy should be an All-Star. I'd also love to see Yu Darvish in the All-Star Game. He has been everything the Rangers hoped he would be.
Ideally, Darvish and Peavy could have gone, but Ron Washington engineered the choices to almost guarantee that he'd get two of his starters (Matt Harrison and Darvish) onto the team.
In terms of the most telling stats, like ERA and WHIP, Peavy has been better than either Darvish or Harrison. He's getting a bad deal going head-to-head with Darvish, who will get tremendous support from online voters in Japan.
If not for a recent lack of run support and two blown saves, Peavy would have been named to the team Sunday. He should have been, anyway.

By TOM HAYSAssociated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - Two con men cheated several former and current National Hockey League players out of at least $15 million by persuading them to invest in a phony Hawaiian real estate venture and other scams, then diverting the funds into their personal bank accounts, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Financial adviser Philip Kenner used the players' money to make his own investment in a tequila company in Mexico, investigators wrote in court papers. Former race car driver Tommy Constantine took money to finance racing teams in California, they added.
Kenner, 43, and Constantine, 47, were arrested by FBI agents in Scottsdale, Ariz., and were awaiting a court appearance in Phoenix, Ariz., on New York wire fraud and money laundering charges. The names of their attorneys weren't immediately available.
Court papers didn't name the alleged victims. But in recent years, several players have publicly challenged Kenner and Constantine with civil lawsuits.
Former NHL star Joe Juneau accused Kenner of financial fraud in a 2008 lawsuit filed in Los Angeles. Another retired player, Owen Nolan, won a $2.8 million arbitration claim against Kenner. And former player Ethan Moreau has brought similar claims against Constantine.
According to court papers filed last year, the Securities and Exchange Commission was investigating allegations that Kenner and others had solicited $20 million from 19 investors for a phony Mexican real estate venture, then kept the money for themselves.
In the latest court papers, prosecutors in federal court in Brooklyn allege the seeds of the fraud date to the late 1980s, when Kenner was a college roommate of a future NHL player. He used the connection to start an investment firm catering to pro players, the papers say.
Kenner talked the players into investing in Hawaiian land that he told them would be developed and resold for a hefty profit, the papers say. He instead funneled about $2 million to a holding company run by Constantine, they say.
Aside from race cars, Constantine "also used the money to make payments on personal mortgages and to pay for meals, limousines, rental cars and cellular telephone expenses," the papers say.
Kenner convinced the hockey players to also invest a Constantine-owned company that sold prepaid debit cards and to donate to a legal defense fund for a player tied up in litigation over his investments, the paper say. The men stole millions of dollars of that money to invest in the tequila company and to pay hotel, airline and other bills, they say.
In arguing that both men should be jailed without bail, prosecutors alleged that Kenner has access to large amounts of cash and a network of associates in Mexico - factors that make him a flight risk. They claim he told one associate that "at a moment's notice, he could pack his duffel bag full of money, get in his car and never be seen again," the court papers say.
The papers also cite Constantine's conviction and sentence to six years in prison on a drug-trafficking charge in 1993.

Martin Scorsese directs the story of New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio). From the American dream to corporate greed, Belfort goes from penny stocks and righteousness to IPOs and a life of corruption in the late 80s. Excess, success and affluence in his early twenties as the founder of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont warranted Belfort the title "The Wolf of Wall Street." Money. Power. Women. Drugs. Temptations were for the taking and the threat of authority was irrelevant. For Jordan and his wolf pack, modesty was quickly deemed overrated and more was never enough.
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, Jon Favreau, Kyle Chandler, Rob Reiner, Jon Bernthal and Jean Dujardin, the screenplay was written by Terence Winter based on the book by Jordan Belfort. Produced by Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, Riza Aziz, Joey McFarland and Emma Tillinger Koskoff, The Wolf of Wall Street opens in the US on December 25, 2013.

Growing up as a boy in Germany, I was always fascinated by the endless pine forests that seemed to go on forever. I'd see men with forearms like Popeye and chests like barrels quaffing beers and throwing axes at logs in almost nonchalant disdain. The way the wood would explode into halves as the blade shot through it was almost hypnotic. The action, the smell and of course, that glorious sound made everything so delicious. It remained with me throughout my life and now, finally, not only do I have an excuse to chop, but it contains benefits that I embrace with the same arms that swing those axes.
Why would anyone want to chop wood, though? It's actually very simple. It's good for you.
Chopping wood is, simply put, one of the best workouts you can give your body. Let's think about this. First of all, you need a good solid stance, right? Making sure the feet part at a comfortable distance, usually about shoulder width, in order to have a good solid base, you are prepping for action. Doing this means your hamstrings, calves, quadriceps and gluteal muscles are all in use and are tense and braced. Going on from there, you have the swing itself. This is generated in the latissimus dorsi, the lower and middle trapezius, the deltoids, obliques and the pectorals. Completing the swing, you will use smaller muscles in order to stabilize it. It's one of the few motions, not unlike swimming, that uses a whole range of motions and muscles in order to complete one action.
Best of all for folks that hate doing floor exercises, but still want to try and work those abs, is that this action is basically like doing crunches, only you're standing up and aren't getting bored to tears. Crunches are boring. There, I said it.
But it doesn't end there. Because wood chopping is considered a low-intensity workout, it can improve cardiovascular endurance when you perform is slowly and steadily for a protracted amount of time. With practice, the constant repetition of the swing of the axe will build precise form. This form will raise your heart rate, burn calories and improve your circulation.
Additionally, the motion of the swing – which should be smooth and fluid-like with practice – will not adversely affect your joints, because this exercise is effectively not a weight-bearing one. If you chop wood, say, twice or perhaps three times a week, it will help build aerobic fitness and as we all know, this is what you need in order to efficiently take in oxygen while you perform not just exercise, but any kind of physical activity.
As with any physical activity that requires certain amounts of exertion, you'll be releasing both endorphins and adrenaline. These are both feel-good chemicals produced naturally within the body.
So chopping wood is in that bizarre situation of being both creative and destructive at the same time. Chopping wood is so rewarding and from personal experience, way more rewarding than any clinical workout in any gym or Crossfit box. You've achieved something and have actually something to show for it. You can feel all the muscles working and best of all, that satisfying ache of a job well done. Not to mention the fact that chopping is a confidence booster. Add that final element of problem solving when you come across that one particularly knotty and stubborn piece of wood that just doesn't want to be split and you have what could be argued as the perfect workout.
As any Spartan Death Racer will tell you, log chopping is a staple part of the Death Race as it's the perfect workout. Perhaps going back to basics is sometimes the best approach to go forward. So get chopping and sign up for your next race now.
See you at the finish line…

This episode is all about identifying and letting go of the blocks that can prevent you from living life to the fullest. We talked about how fear and stories from the past can prevent people from thinking and feeling and from being authentic. We talked about how sometimes rules can stifle creative thinking and how sometimes we get swept into "group think" because we fear being left out or chastised, even if we don't really agree with what the group is doing.
Thinking about the past and future can be a way to keep us in bondage even when we reminisce about good things. Living in the now is the only way to live an authentic life. But if you do tell a story about the past, you can choose what stories to tell. You can use a story to lift yourself and others up or you can use a story to beat yourself up and make other people feel bad.
Sometimes the stories we make up about other people can prevent us from seeing who they really are. We discussed how when we see people based on the the roles they play in our lives (i.e. daughter, mother, boss, husband, son, teacher), it will prevent us from seeing them as they are and potentially learning something valuable and even life-transforming from them.
We talked about how true listening is not just something you do with your ears, true listening is about being fully present and not seeing the current moment through the filter of old stories. Our story is often what prevents us from listening. Listening is a full-bodied experience that engages the body and evokes feelings or emotions.
We are here to gather stories and we get to choose what stories we share with others. Sometimes we are blocked when we replay a tragic aspect of the story. We are doing this with our own mind and until we realize it, it is difficult to take responsibility for our own lives. We have to be responsible for good and bad. Being a good listener is listening to what the other person is saying, It's not just about what we feel it's the ability to hear without fear.

The aerospace industry is credited with providing 86,000 jobs and $4 billion in yearly revenue.
NASA and the Kennedy Space Center has long been at the center of it, but with the space shuttles now retired, NASA's going through a makeover.
"I'm proposing some difficult cuts that, frankly, I wouldn't normally make if they weren't absolutely necessary, but they are," said President Obama in his budget proposal speech.
President Obama's budget proposes cutting NASA's budget by 20%. He scrapped George W. Bush's effort to return astronauts to the moon, instead setting his sights on getting humans on an asteroid and eventually to Mars.
Mitt Romney doesn't talk about specific missions. He says a sweeping vision for NASA should come from collaboration between military, academic, and private sectors.
Newt Gingrich envisions a permanent lunar colony by the year 2020. He thinks cash prizes, such as a $10 billion prize to the first company to put a human on Mars, can spur space exploration.
"By the end of my second term, we will have a permanent base on the moon," Gingrich said in a speech earlier this year.
Rick Santorum wants to bring in more minds from the private sector. He wants to scale back what he calls NASA's "government bureaucracy."
Ron Paul wants to turn NASA over to the private sector. He jokingly said during a debate in Florida that he wants to send "politicians to the moon."

Monroe, LA (Sports Network) - Orleans Darkwa had a season-high 118 rushing yards and a touchdown as the Tulane Green Wave took down the ULM Warhawks, 31-14, in non-conference action at Malone Stadium.
Darkwa carried the ball 17 times for Tulane (3-2) as he crossed the century mark rushing for the eighth time in his career. Rob Kelley was also effective on the ground with 76 yards and a score on 16 attempts. Nick Montana underwhelmed under center, completing just 7-of-20 passes for 65 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
For ULM (2-3), Kolton Browning was ineffective with just 134 yards on 12-of-27 passing before being relieved for Brayle Brown (10-of-18, 133 yards, TD, two INTs). Ajalen Holley led all receivers with 53 yards and a score. The Warhawks, who have lost back-to-back games, rushed for only 26 yards as a team.
Tulane got on the board first midway through the opening quarter after Cairo Santos drilled a 56-yard field goal. The kicker is no stranger to long field goals, as he set a school record last season when he made a 57-yarder against Rice.
The Green Wave made it 10-0 late in the second quarter on a seven-yard touchdown run by Kelley.
Tulane extended its lead to 24-0 early in the third quarter. First, Darkwa rushed in a one-yard touchdown, then Dominique Robertson recovered a fumble and returned it 33 yards for a score.
The Warhawks ended their scoreless drought midway through the third quarter when Rashon Ceaser ran back a punt 88 yards for a touchdown, but the Green Wave responded just a few minutes later with a 26-yard touchdown pass from Montana to Ryan Grant.
ULM added a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter when Brown hooked up with Holley for a 25-yard score, although the game was well in hand by that point.
The Tulane defense sacked ULM quarterbacks five times and recorded five turnovers.

Reptile and Amphibian Extravaganza
Returns to Midwest City Library
Last year they hopped, crawled and slithered into your heart. This year, they're back . . .
It's time for the 2nd Annual Snake and Amphibian Summer Camp at the Midwest City Library, 8143 E. Reno on Saturday, June 12 from 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m.
"What better way to spend a summer day," said Midwest City librarian Suzette Felton, "than cuddling with snakes, lizards, or turtles? But maybe not the crocodiles. 'Peter Pan' taught us never to smile at a crocodile—unless you really know what you're doing."
The day-long workshop is free and open to the public with specific classes for people wanting to know more about turtles, tortoises, snakes, lizards, Oklahoma reptiles and amphibians and, yes, even crocodilians. To attend a class, or for more information, please call the Midwest City Library Information Desk at 405-732-4828.
The 2nd Annual Snake and Amphibian Summer Camp is co-sponsored by the Oklahoma City Herpetological Society.
