MLB.com's No. 13 prospect was named Seattle's No. 5 starter by manager Eric Wedge on Monday.
"It was wide open coming in," Wedge told MLB.com. "You saw what I saw, a guy that was very consistent and kept getting better. And as we lengthened him out, he handled that very well. There were situations we thought he handled very well that he'll have to go through in the course of the regular season. All that enters into it."
The 6-foot-7 native of the Dominican Republic made the Mariners' decision easy with an excellent spring. Pineda posted a 2.12 ERA in five Cactus League appearances, fanning 15 batters over 17 innings while allowing 20 baserunners. Pineda probably will make his Major League debut on April 5 in Texas.
Pineda was 11-4 with a 3.36 ERA in 25 starts between Double-A West Tenn and Triple-A Tacoma in 2010. His 9.95 strikeouts per nine innings pitched ratio was good for eighth among Minor Leaguers with 130 frames. Pineda tossed a career-high 139 1/3 innings in the Minors last year, something that Wedge is aware of as he attempts to manage the 22-year-old carefully.
"Any young pitcher, you have to keep a close eye on," Wedge told MLB.com. "But he's big, he's strong, he's built up. Obviously no different than anybody else, we'll work off of him."

Starred Review. Looking beyond the usual roster of right-wing Christians, anticommunist neo-cons and disgruntled working-class whites, this incisive study examines the unsung role of a political movement of businessmen in leading America's post-1960s rightward turn. Historian Phillips-Fein traces the hidden history of the Reagan revolution to a coterie of business executives, including General Electric official and Reagan mentor Lemuel Boulware, who saw labor unions, government regulation, high taxes and welfare spending as dire threats to their profits and power. From the 1930s onward, the author argues, they provided the money, organization and fervor for a decades-long war against New Deal liberalism—funding campaigns, think tanks, magazines and lobbying groups, and indoctrinating employees in the virtues of unfettered capitalism. Theirs was also a battle of ideas, she contends; the business vanguard nurtured conservative thinkers like economist Friedrich von Hayek and his secretive Mont Pellerin Society associates, who developed a populist free-market ideology that persuaded workers to side with their bosses against the liberal state. Combining piquant profiles of corporate firebrands with a trenchant historical analysis that puts economic conflict at the heart of political change, Phillips-Fein makes an important contribution to our understanding of American conservatism. Photos. (Jan.)

Although many books have been written about American conservatism, most concern its cultural or political manifestations, and almost all bring bias to the subject. The contribution of Phillips-Fein to this literature is distinctive in two respects: she maintains neutrality and produces original research on American business executives and public-relations specialists who created conservative organizations from 1933 to 1980. Although scholarly in tone (her work originated as a dissertation), the book is highly readable for its absorbing historical background about contemporary conservative advocacy outfits, such as the American Enterprise Institute. In their variety of characters and degrees of indignation about the iniquities of the New Deal and its descendants, the individuals introduced range from the reasonable to the strange, which enlivens a narrative of free-market conservatism's incubation in the 1940s and 1950s. Detecting a union-busting agenda behind the liberty-proclaiming rhetoric of business leaders, Phillips-Fein nevertheless allows them a fair hearing about their roles in, ultimately, the electoral victory of Ronald Reagan in 1980. A valuable addition to the history of conservatism. --Gilbert Taylor --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.See all Editorial Reviews

Re: importing movies from PC to Mac in response to godfreychas Helpful
I would suggest that you use a free tool called MPEG Streamclip, available here. Get the Beta version.
Drag your .mod clip into MPEG Streamclip. The, use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. Save it where you can find it.
In iMovie, import using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.
If you have a large number of mod clips, MPEG Streamclip has a batch mode.

The rose comes in all colors, sizes, shapes, breeds and they all have the same thing in common, they are beautiful! The old saying be sure to take time to smell the roses does not fall on deaf ears with me. They always capture my attention, admiration and a pause of their magical quality. The last rose of summer, this peaceful white rose so soft and so spectacular has gotten alot of attention at my home each day since it opened and began to share its beauty with the world. So, in honor of the rose, roses all around the world, I celebrate your beauty, your uniqueness, your magical essence and the love you bring to all of our lives where ever we live. The rose is truly a gift from the Universe, from Nature and we can enjoy her each day in person, or on camera, or in a painting, or in a special memory of receiving one from a loved one. The rose lives on forever in our minds, hearts and in our life experience. It is truly Universal in its love, beauty and reverance.

Day 5 Leaving Croatia
We left Lastovo early as we knew that we had a 10 hr sail. As we left Croatia we spotted 2 dolphins close by, what a lovely sight. We settled in to a routine of look out, sleep and reading. We set the sails and headed off into the distance , leaving land behind us. It seemed strange to look all around us and see nothing but sea. At times it did feel like we would fall off the edge of the world. As we got to around the half way mark ...

Maybe you had a rough time in high school. Maybe you're still having a rough time in high school. Just be thankful you're not going through anything like Skye Rotter contends with in the MTV original movie, "My Super Psycho Sweet 16." Her dad's a nutso murderer who slaughtered some of her townsfolk 10 years back. That will put a serious crimp in your social life.
"Dad was a serial killer, and apparently that will make you a social outcast," Lauren McKnight, who plays Skye, laughed during a Los Angeles screening of the film. "But she desperately wants to belong to regular groups of people."
That's where the not-so-happy couple of Brigg and Madison fit in. "Brigg's the jock," explained Chris Zylka, who plays the athlete. "He's the guy everyone wants to be, but to himself, he's not really the guy he wants to be, the way he's being perceived by everyone else."
So Brigg sets his alpha-male sights on Skye, and once queen bee Madison finds out, well, she's less than pleased. "Madison is severely misunderstood," contended Julianna Guill, who plays the popular girl. "She doesn't know how mean she is. She's just been doing it her whole life. But she does it a lot in this movie and is just horrible to Skye Rotter, who she tortures."
This love triangle reaches a breaking point when Madison throws a killer sweet-16 party at the newly reopened roller-skating rink where Skye's dad did his bloody work. The high-class shindig quickly turns gruesome as Daddy shows up with, um, an ax to grind. Think reality show "My Super Sweet 16″ meets slasher film meets teen comedy, all set to a righteous MTV soundtrack.
The movie premieres Friday, October 23, at 10 p.m. ET on MTV. Co-star Matt Angel has the perfect way for everyone to revel in the gory proceedings. "If you're a girl, grab your girlfriends," he said. "If you're a guy, grab your girlfriends. Pop some popcorn, grab a soda, sit down, enjoy the two hours. It's insane fun, and you'll be scared, you'll laugh, you'll cry."
Check out everything we've got on "My Super Psycho Sweet 16."

In 2001, Lenny Cooke was the #1 ranked high school basketball player, placing higher than Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire and LeBron James. Filmmaker Adam Shopkorn chronicled Cooke's rise in over 100 hours of footage. Shopkorn turned down a request to follow LeBron James, though James did pass Shopkorn's viewfinder on more than one occasion. When Cooke went undrafted in 2002, Shopkorn abandoned his Lenny Cooke movie. In 2009, the footage was acquired by sibling directors, Josh and Benny Safdie, who edited it into the documentary "Lenny Cooke."
In addition to shaping the material, the Safdies append it with new footage shot in 2012 with an older, somewhat wiser Lenny Cooke. Before the new section kicks in, "Lenny Cooke" has a refreshing fly-on-the-wall feeling. It doesn't rely on talking heads to drive the narrative. We follow Cooke as his high school star rises, meeting his best friend, his coaches, his mother, and the aforementioned future NBA stars Anthony, Stoudemire and James. We also meet the wealthy woman who takes him into her Old Tappan, New Jersey home so his high school career won't be interrupted.
Cooke is an impressionable teenager, but this isn't a film about a good kid gone bad. There's a level of introspection to Cooke, who is often seen discussing his options about going to college vs. entering the NBA draft straight out of high school. Cooke and his buddies discuss Kwame Brown, who entered the draft the year before Cooke's eligibility, and consider what they'd do with the salary Brown was offered. Their dreamy ideas are countered by former NBA coach Mike Fratello, who presents a shocking breakdown of just how little a million dollars will get you in the NBA. After taxes, agents, fees, insurance and other necessities, a player was making less money than someone with far less yearly gross.
It would seem that Shopkorn made the wrong decision by following Cooke, but hindsight is 20/20. When Cooke enters the draft in 2002, he was hotter than the younger LeBron James. One of the best scenes in "Lenny Cooke" details Cooke's big game against James, the outcome of which looked like many last second King James heartbreakers. There's also footage of Cooke squaring off with his fellow draftee Stoudemire. When the draft ended, Stoudemire was on his way to the NBA, and Cooke was never called to the league.
The Safdies leave a lot of room for a viewer to meditate on what's being shown and said. I found my mind wandering to hoop dreams in general, and "Hoop Dreams" specifically. That's a much better documentary, but it also deals with the notion of basketball as a way out of poverty. "Lenny Cooke" offers some harsh truths about this path; one coach throws out the tiny number of NBA players in the league and the much larger number of high school and college basketball players country-wide. "It is literally a one in a million shot," he tells his players.
In another scene, St. John's coach Mike Jarvis equates the NBA drafting kids out of high school with slavery. He paints the NBA as a predator feeding off hungry, immature kids and discarding them if they don't deliver, or if something better comes along. I wanted more of this discussion, especially since the drafting rules of the NBA were altered in 2006, making high school graduates wait a year before being eligible for the draft. It sounds like a precaution, but how much maturity difference there is between 18 and 19?
"Lenny Cooke" doesn't play sides, instead opting to focus on its subject's rise to the draft before shifting gears to the present time. The Safdies find Cooke, now 30, in Virginia. A motivational speaker, Cooke occasionally watches footage from his heyday but doesn't seem destroyed by the outcome of his career. We learn that Cooke played in numerous other basketball leagues, both here and abroad, and was a star in many of them. With his 11 year old son and his fiancée, Cooke has relocated to his mother's hometown.
Cooke speaks candidly about why he entered the draft and why he played for those other leagues. While his comments and interactions with family and friends are very interesting, the method by which they are delivered constitutes "Lenny Cooke's" one major problem. This footage is so poorly shot, I became frustrated. In comparison to the first 70 minutes, these last 20 look markedly terrible. A potentially riveting scene of Lenny's fiancée describing her take on Cooke's career is undercut by amateurish framing and zooms. Another scene of Cooke arguing with his best friends practically screams for a shot of all parties in the same frame. And a CGI shot of the elder Cooke talking to his younger self is shameless, as if the filmmakers were unsure of just how good they'd been at presenting their information without sports fiction-style manipulation.
Still, this is quite a good sports documentary, moving and unafraid of making you work for its pleasures. Until the last section, the Safdies do a great job selecting and editing footage that tells their story intelligently and passionately. I felt as if I were getting to know Lenny Cooke as well as the means by which a kid from a neighborhood not unlike mine could wind up in the NBA draft.
I've read several reviews that call Cooke's trajectory "heartbreaking." Why? Yes, he didn't make it to the NBA, but his life didn't stop, nor did it become useless. Cooke himself explains that, despite his fantastic basketball instincts, he was doing all this because it was expected, not wanted. We all have big dreams, and for many of us, they simply do not come true. But life goes on, and we play the hands we're dealt. If those cards are played right, one's life is not rendered useless. Lenny Cooke may not be an NBA hero, but to some kid listening to his motivational speeches, he might be a hero nonetheless.

The officials are registered with USA Hockey (from what I read here), which means they have to be registered with a local association. Somebody is providing the officials. It's like Jr.A in Canada....the officials are not officials for the leagues, they are officials provided by the provincial branches (IE: BCHL officials are provided by BCAHA).

The Melbourne Tea Meetup Message Board › SYNOPSIS OF CHINESE TEA TRADE AND ITS CULTURAL HISTORY
|A former member
Having played a pre-ordained role in my family as the MC of the Chinese tea ceremony, I was confronted by a rather formidable task of exposing to all attending wedding guests as to the wonders of the Chinese tea ceremony and why it played an unbroken role as being traditional to a Chinese marriage. Thus to fulfil may role, I decided to undertake further research and more cultural historical insights into the evolution of the Chinese tea culture , trade, dinning and drinking and preparation to unlock its mystique and wondrous mystery as written by Martha Avery's Chinese horse tea trade and tea road .
Glimpses of the evolution of the Chinese tea cultural history
Sublime golden era of the Chinese shamanic age in neoploatic times when the dawn of the Chinese civilisation was characterised by the rule of Chinese sage kings of Emperor Yao, Shun and Yu , Fu xi , Sheng nong and Huang di or the Yellow Emperor . Collectively known as the five Augustus ones , they were offered wine and sacrificial offerings which was later replaced by offering of tea.
1. Sheng Nong, the Emperor deity of Horticulture and the usage of herbs whom the significance of tea was attributed to with his discovery of tea being a wild creeper that grew beneath the Sichuan cliffs and became deitified as the Chinese teas god . This shamanic discovery of tea of the Chinese golden era of the Xia dynasty divine chronicles corresponded to European discovery of herbalism by the various Celtic tribes of druids.
2. Sichuan, Western and north eastern Chinese regional provinces spurred on the spread of Daoism accompanied tea trade as the catalyst of the Chinese civilisation with Western China and the north eastern provinces from time immemorial being legendary abode of the Kunlun mountains of the gods of the Taoist pantheon and hermit sages . They are still popular strong holds and practises of Taoist practices of Alchemy and the search for immortality and elixir of life today .
3. A further development was the veneration of Great Yu or the Chinese Tribal chief of the Chinese Agrarian age following the biblical great floods and Gilgamesh epic . The Chinese who were a dissident semantic tribe like the Jews migrated from Babylon during the Akkadian King Sargon the Great into the Asian Steppes and settled in north Asia and the river basins of The Yellow River Delta and the Yangtze .
China continuous link by trade with Akkadian kings , India and Greece led to the planting and trading in rice and agricultural development when wheat was discovered in Ancient Mesopotamia in today's Iraq.
4. It was during this tribal inception in food and agriculture of Yu the great or the Chinese equivalent of Noah that transformed a slavish tribal food hunting and barbaric society to a highly cultivated and collective agricultural society accompanied the worship of the mother earth fertility goddess .
5. In the 4th century Han dynasty, China being more literate under the peasant emperor rule of Han Liu Bang that China was developed into suburban communities and the earth fertility goddess was raised to became the Western mother or Xi Wang mu to be revered as a governing chief pantheon in the High Clarity or Supreme purity Taoist sect .
6. Huang di or the Yellow Emperor who came after the time of Yu the Great was venerated as the father and founder of the Chinese civilisation . The Yellow Emperors' Cannon which is a compendium of Traditional Chinese medicine and health sciences extensively covers studies in internal medicine , human anatomy , meridian channelling and blood circulation , balance of mind , boday and spirit , seasonal synchronism, planetary ecology , celestial bodies and astral projections contributed to health nourishment. The drinking of tea as a health tonic became customary. It also contributed to Chinese health Qi gong health care exercise of Dao yin Qigong and the high clarity or supreme purity school of thought where tea drinking stimulated the nervous systems in pursing the mediative quests for awakening into inner self-realisation.
This development in China's history could be compared to discoveries made in the latent mechanism of the bio-human dynamic evolution of ancient Greece of the pre-Aristotle era , pre-pythgraon esoteric mathematics, Egyptian magic and beliefs in hyper-dimensional physics and Babelonish religions and study of celestial bodies that we get most of today's eastern religions, mysticisms , esoteric sciences , Gnosticism , postmodern mathematics and technical sciences and medicine . The Chinese and middle eastern races were well ahead of Europe with their spectrum of eastern sciences and metaphysical developments that preceded the discoveries of Norman Bethune, Newton , Carl Jung and Ken Wilbur's theory of Emergence .
Daoism spreaded locally with tea being a priced commodity spreader into from Sichuan and western provinces into the autonomous regions, enroute to Sikkim in Tibet , the Khyber pass into India and connecting to the middle east.

Nearly 3 years ago May 2012, when I was a rookie, it felt unreal. I was the youngest one on the team, 19 and a sophomore in college. I didn't know what it was like to be a professional so this caused confrontation and delinquencies.
In the video game industry, streaming capabilities gave rise to a new category of sporting events -- professional video game competitions. Esports is a million-dollar industry with millions of vocal fans worldwide and is quickly becoming the fastest-growing and most-viewed sport in the U.S.
Just when you thought it was safe to trust the NFL to handle the issues of concussions and long-term brain damage appropriately, the league reverted to form and proved otherwise.
As it stands now, Judge Doty's opinion jeopardizes the NFL Commissioner's power to bring some order back to the business after a difficult year. It lends support to the Players Association's plea that personal misconduct cases should be heard in arbitration.
Those who continue to prepare will likely carry this work ethic throughout their careers. And, for the players who simply stop after the Combine, how many underperform, underachieve or don't make the team?
A six-quarter Super Bowl would have 50 percent more football and double the halftimes. It would take about five hours. New records would be set in just about every category. Who wouldn't want to watch a Super Bowl with a final score of 73 to 68?
Your claims about being the best thing since sliced bread might get someone to buy your product or support your cause, but the experience must live up to the hype. Ask yourself whether you company or organization really does deliver on its promises.
A wallet is one of the most -- if not the most -- personal accessory you can have. The contents can be very telling about the owner's personality, values and financial state. Some people carry a well-stocked wallet, ensuring they're prepared for any scenario the day brings, while others opt to keep the contents to a minimum.
In the weeks leading up to the mother of all football events, the Super Bowl, there was no shortage of defining moments for me to tell my 13-year-old twin athletes: "Be humble -- first, last and always."
On Wednesday new Bears head coach John Fox and new GM Ryan Pace were repeatedly asked about the elephant in the room, but they remained non-committal to Cutler during their press conference.
For more insight into how marketing and IT can work together on data analytics, I spoke with Pat Nieser, senior corporate sales manager for the Cincinnati Bengals.
NBA All-Star Weekend is more than just a game and a few associated skills challenges. It celebrates the entire NBA culture, and that includes its charitable side.
What is it about professional competitors that seem to make so many set on self-destruction? After years of working out, training and imagining the big time, pro athletes often turn out to be their own worst opponent when it comes to enjoying a rewarding career.
The other night I put aside this pessimism as my eyes opened to some truly amazing stories of humanity in sports. If you want to see what is still great about athletes, just attend a local Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
After five years on the baseball beat Alison Gordon returned to real life and turned to fiction. She wrote murder mysteries set in the world of baseball and enjoyed considerable success. Sportsworld is now replete with women in all capacities and for that we owe a debt to Alison Gordon.
You have to admit, the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLIX was packed with galvanizing on-field action. As the action heated up, many of the fans in the stadium put away their mobile phones.

The Bach renaissance--which began in earnest in the early 19th century thanks to the efforts of Felix Mendelssohn and others--inspired an endeavor of far-reaching significance. It led to the founding of the Bach Society in 1850, with the goal of gathering and publishing the composer's complete works, and thus set into motion one of the great projects of musical scholarship. That effort has continued and been refined throughout the 20th century, ultimately influencing not only our perception of how to perform early music but fundamental ideas of musical history, evolution, and reception as well.
Teldec's mammoth Bach 2000 box set represents a kind of culmination of that original attempt to come to terms with Johann Sebastian Bach's unparalleled legacy. This set brings together performances recorded over the last several decades--a small percentage of the recordings are previously unreleased--of all the extant works determined by modern scholarship to be authentic. There are also some pieces the authorship of which is still in question and a few now deemed "inauthentic" but familiarly associated with the composer. Bach was a prodigious reviser of his compositions, and alternate versions of a particular work have been included "where the changes seemed sufficiently important," such as the glorious Magnificat. No doubt manuscripts will continue to be unearthed here and there in various archives (Bach 2000 contains, for example, the "Neumeister chorales," which were rediscovered in 1984), but the set does not represent the many fragments of music that consist of just a few bars; however, there are some reconstructions of lost concertos (such as one for three violins reconstructed by Christopher Hogwood from an extant concerto for harpsichords).
Of course a truly comprehensive recorded edition of every note Bach wrote remains a utopian impossibility--about one-third of his cantatas, for example, have not survived. Even so, the dimensions of Bach 2000 are staggering. With its 12 boxes comprising 153 CDs, the set can be compressed into fewer boxes to save shelf space yet is still about ten times as long as the Ring cycle. (It should be noted that the packaging--using thin cardboard sleeves for the CDs--is distinctively unattractive.) That adds up to just under 160 hours of music--but a lifetime of discovery. Each box (grouped according to genre) contains a booklet with excellent notes on individual works and--for all the choral works--texts and translations. Tracking indexes are useful and thorough. Also included is a profusely illustrated hardbound volume of 24 Inventions, in which journalist Wolfgang Sandberger uses the composer's biography as a peg for some enigmatic and fascinating musings on the meaning of Bach today.
The presiding philosophy behind this project and its approach to musical interpretation can be largely ascribed to Nikolaus Harnoncourt, a true musical pioneer and galvanizing force of the "period performance" movement. Harnoncourt's epoch-making recordings of the sacred cantatas (using, for instance, boy sopranos and choristers according to the practice in Bach's time) with the Concentus musicus Wien and colleague Gustav Leonhardt comprise the first four volumes here (those who already own them can turn to the Bach 2000 Light edition, which contains everything sans the cantatas). These recordings--which were not remastered for this set--have long been controversial and are notably uneven, embracing some magnificent accounts as well as others that lack fire and seem clearly underrehearsed. But Harnoncourt is one of the most fascinating conductors of our era, and his interpretations amply bear out his assertion: "I have never felt that Bach worked in a routine manner, that he repeated himself in his works." Harnoncourt--who has articulated many of his ideas in his book The Musical Dialogue--displays his gifts as a cellist in a remarkably probing performance of the Cello Suites (originally recorded in 1965) and in his concertizing for a number of chamber works. For the St. Matthew Passion, you get Harnoncourt's groundbreaking earlier account from 1970, while his 1986 recording of the sublime B Minor Mass is also represented here (the St. John Passion included is Harnoncourt's 1995 acount).
Other artists included are colleague Gustav Leonhardt, whose thoughtful if occasionally dry harpsichord artistry is heard in the Goldberg Variations as well as in the concertos and chamber music. The harpsichord is in fact used throughout in preference to piano for the keyboard works. Ton Koopman (himself the conductor of an ongoing complete cantata series and of the Easter Oratorio included here) performs the organ works, including some newly recorded offerings, while Il Giardino Armonico's well-known high-energy account represents the Brandenburg Concertos. Violinist Thomas Zehetmair is exceptionally compelling in the unaccompanied sonatas and partitas, and the Concentus musicus Wien--again under Harnoncourt--perform a superb Musical Offering that richly repays frequent listening.
The result of Bach 2000 as a whole is an aptly encyclopedic grappling with the infinite legacy of this most compendious of composers, whose works are on one level a summation of all the styles available to him. Bach was once thought to represent a "terminal point" (to use Albert Schweitzer's famous formulation), the end of an era; today he is at least equally recognized as a fertile source of inspiration for composers since. To be sure, individual recordings of particular works will be found to be preferable, and it would be misguided to consider Bach 2000 any kind of "final" or "definitive" word. Instead, it's an indispensable starting point that represents a monumental achievement for our own contemporary understanding of Bach. --Thomas May
