Moore and Williams call for refocusing and stepping up the research on gene-to-gene and gene-to-environment interactions. They explain that for many years, researchers have focused on single genes and clinical endpoints. The time has come, they say, to embrace rather than ignore the complexity of human traits as they are expressed by the whole genome working in concert.
"Although genetic testing for common human diseases is not yet useful, using genetic testing results to reveal an individual's ancestry is increasingly reliable," says Moore. He and PhD candidate Chantel Sloan recently mined some genetic data for a study that examined the population structure of New Hampshire residents.
Published in the September issue of PLoS ONE (a journal of the Public Library of Science), they study by Sloan and Moore and their colleagues analyzed more than 1,000 genetic markers from 864 people in New Hampshire. They discovered six subgroups of people with distinct genetic backgrounds including a group of Finnish and Russian/Polish/Lithuanian ancestry.
"I knew that people would be primarily European," says Sloan. "What I didn't expect was the strong connection between genetic structure and people of Eastern European ancestry, which I learned is consistent with New Hampshire census and immigration data from 1870 to 1930."
Sloan used data initially compiled for a cancer study, so the genetic markers were cancer susceptibility genes rather than known ancestral genes, and the population being analyzed was not racially or geographically distinct. The results challenge the assumption that large numbers of special genetic markers are needed to discover genetically distinct groups of people.
"This is an example of how personal genetic data can be u

According to KFBK in Sacramento, the Kings have taken out a line of credit worth $75 million from the NBA. The report says that Kings spokesman Mitch Germann said the team used the line of credit but wouldn't say specifically on what.
This is something I did not know about, this line of credit thing. Evidently, the NBA has $2.3 billion available to every team in its line of credit program. The report says this: "NBA Spokesman Mike Bass says 19 teams have borrowed money through the league Line of Credit program. The max any team can borrow according to Bass is $125-million." News to me. And the Kings didn't hesitate in using it.
I think most people's first thought was that the number has something to do with relocation, which is very expensive. Just to relocate, you have to pay $30 million to the league as a fee. And that's just the start of it.
Obviously the franchise is struggling financially, hence the relocation talks. The Maloofs have seen their various business ventures sag a bit during the recession and the Kings are not immune as their value has dropped (according to Forbes) by almost $100 million.
Here's something interesting mentioned in this report though -- the Kings might not have the league support needed to relocate to Anaheim:
Sources have told KFBK that an approximately 200-page document outlining the Kings move to Anaheim currently sits on NHL Ducks Owner and Honda Center operator, Henry Samueli's desk. Just last week lawyers were combing through the finer details of the deal. Honda Center officials would not confirm if Samueli had signed off on the agreement.It's already been made clear that both Laker owner Jerry Buss and Clipper owner Donald Sterling are not really in favor of making a new bedfellow in the Los Angeles area, but they Maloofs have a lot of convincing to do to get a majority of owners on their side.
Those close to the negotiations say Samueli and the Maloofs are not sure they have enough support from the rest of the league's owners to approve the move. Kings officials have said all four Maloof brothers will be attending the NBA Board of Governors' meetings this week in New York City to try and convince at least 15 other teams to allow the Kings to relocate.
With the last NBA relocation, the Sonics moving to Oklahoma City, 28 owners voted in favor of it. The only two that didn't were Mark Cuban and Paul Allen.
Relocation is a mess. It's not easy on anyone, especially fans. The Kings are clearly losing money and want to try and find greener, as in money-making, pastures. It's hard to keep up with this thing but maybe it's a little too early to etch the move in stone.

Because of the association between homocysteine and vascular disease, Jamison's group hoped that if they could lower homocysteine levels, they could also reduce mortality and the rates of heart attack, stroke and amputations.
They enrolled more than 2,000 veterans at 36 Veterans Administration medical centers across the country. All had advanced chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal failure.
Half of the participants were given a placebo, and the other half were instructed to take a daily capsule that contained 40 milligrams (mg) folic acid, 100 mg vitamin B6 and 2 mg of vitamin B12.
The study lasted five years, and the average follow-up time was 3.2 years.
The vitamin therapy was successful in lowering homocysteine levels. Homocysteine went down almost 26 percent in the treatment group, but less than 2 percent in the placebo group.
However, those lowered levels did not translate into saved lives. In total, 448 people from the vitamin group and 436 people in the placebo group died during the study -- statistically nearly equal. Additionally, the researchers found no statistically significant differences in the rates of heart attack, stroke and amputation.
While this study wasn't designed to determine why lowering homocysteine levels was ineffective in preventing deaths and disease, Jamison said there are several possibilities. "One is that homocysteine is a marker of vascular disease, rather than a cause of it. Another is that the vascular burden in these patients may be too great. It may be that we started too late to make a difference in these patients."

Review for Aim High, San Francisco, CA, USA
Aim High has dramatically changed the course of the lives of many Bay Area youth. It has also changed the course of many Bay Area adults, be they family members of students or aspiring teachers who are struck with the success of the Aim High model of education. Aim High opens doors and expands horizons of anyone who walks into this community. I have been working with this organization for 13 years and I keep coming back because of the enormous gifts it keeps on giving to our families. Thank you Aim High.

inspired, energetic, generous beyond expectation, dedicated, and caring. Everyone in the Aim High "family" gives it their ALL!!
Ways to make it better...
I knew that more students were being helped as much as these students were. I wish that EVERY middle school child was getting the sort of guidance that Aim High affords our students.

Liberty County Officials Looking For Mass Grave Caller
BY ANNA-MEGAN RALEY, CBS Houston June 8, 2011 3:18 PM
After a false tip sent Liberty County officials along with the FBI on a wasted search for mass grave in Harding, the investigation has turned to the tipster, a woman who claims to be a psychic.
The woman gave officials alarming details about a residence where she said 25-30 dismembered bodies of children could be found.
A search of the property with investigators and cadaver dogs turned up nothing.
Officials are now looking for the woman and believe she may be in Hays County.

We The KingsView In iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
We the Kings are a melodic emo-pop band from Bradenton, Florida, a small Southern town that doubles as the home base for Tropicana orange juice. Friends since childhood (the band's moniker even refers to the name of their junior-high mascot), the four bandmates -- singer/guitarist Travis Clark, guitarist Hunter Thomsen, his bassist brother Drew Thomsen, and drummer Danny Duncan -- formed the group while attending high school. Under the guidance of manager Bret Disend, they placed a number of tracks on the social networking site Purevolume in 2007 to build online buzz. Meanwhile, they also pursued a deal with EMI's imprint S-Curve Records, which eventually signed the group. We the Kings' self-titled debut album was produced by Sam Hollander and mixed by Lou Giordano, both of whom had done work with some of emo-pop's most marketable acts, and released in October 2007. "Check Yes Juliet" cracked the Pop 100 that fall, and the group spent much of the following two years on the road, playing shows alongside simpatico bands like The Academy Is... and Hey Monday. They also found time to record a second album, Smile Kid, which arrived in late 2009. Like the band's debut, Smile Kid spawned a Top 100 single with "We'll Be a Dream," which featured guest vocals from Demi Lovato. We the Kings continued to tour heavily, supporting All Time Low for several months before headlining their own shows at home and abroad. The shows stretched into 2011, by which point the group had already begun work on a third album. Sunshine State of Mind was released that summer. ~ Stewart Mason

Is Raising the Gas Tax Really the Answer?
Cross-posted from the Frontier Group …
In the 1920s, Great Britain debated the future of its Road Fund – a pot of money raised from vehicle excise taxes and devoted exclusively to road repair. Then-Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill opposed the fund, arguing that, if drivers paid taxes dedicated solely to roads, "It will be only a step from this for them to claim in a few years the moral ownership of the roads their contributions have created."¹
Here in the United States, we have long been under the misimpression that the taxes paid by drivers – most notably the gas tax – cover the cost of building and keeping up our roads. And is there any doubt that those contributions have come with a claim of moral ownership? For decades, transportation policy has been shaped by the idea that drivers do their "fair share" to maintain the infrastructure they use, while other transportation users – those who ride transit, ride bicycles or walk – are little better than freeloaders.
If you've ever wondered why some people get enraged at the so-called "diversion" of small amounts of gas tax revenue to transit, or are apoplectic over the dedication of a small amount of roadway space to bike lanes, or perceive efforts to make communities more walkable as a "war on cars," it all comes down to the deeply ingrained belief that roads have been built solely by and for the exclusive benefit of motorists.
A new report we at Frontier Group have co-authored with U.S. PIRG Education Fund, Who Pays for Roads?, explodes the "users pay" myth. Nearly half of the money now used to build, maintain and operate highways now comes from ordinary taxpayers – you and me – regardless of how much we drive.

Jesus Montero Rumors
Minor MLB Transactions: 7/19/15
Here are the day's minor moves:
- The Nationals are set to call up reliever Abel de los Santos, tweets Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca. The 22-year-old was acquired over the offseason from the Rangers (along with infielder Chris Bostick) for Ross Detwiler. A hard-throwing righty, de los Santos had a 2.65 ERA, 8.44 K/9, and 1.69 BB/9 in 37 innings at Double-A. His promotion will necessitate a move on the Nationals' 40-man roster which is currently full.
- Evan Meek has signed with an unknown Korean team, reports Sung Min Kim of River Ave Blues. Meek, 32, threw 37 innings for the Nationals Triple-A affiliate this season. He posted a 2.15 ERA with 7.88 K/9 and 4.54 BB/9. A veteran of six major league campaigns, Meek has a career 3.63 ERA in 196 relief innings. He was an All Star in 2010 while playing with the Pirates.
- The Mariners have optioned designated hitter Jesus Montero to Triple-A, writes Greg Johns of MLB.com. Montero, 25, was temporarily filling J.A. Happ's roster spot. As many remember, the Yankees traded Montero for Michael Pineda during the 2012-2013 offseason. Neither player returned much value prior to this season, but Pineda has emerged as a force in the Yankees rotation and Montero is now showing some life too. During his five game audition, he went 3-for-10 with three walks and one strikeout. He's hitting .332/.370/.529 at Triple-A with 15 home runs in 368 plate appearances.
- The Brewers have released former 2009 second round pick Cameron Garfield, tweets Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Constitution. In parts of six seasons, Garfield failed to advance beyond High-A. This year, he hit .233/.267/.306 in 202 plate appearances. Per Haudricourt, the Brewers had five picks in the first two rounds of the 2009 draft. Garfield was the last one remaining in the system.

West Notes: Dodgers, Solis, Padres, Montero
The Dodgers acquisition of Brandon Beachy could lead to a trade, writes Chris Cotillo of SB Nation. Beachy will open the season on the disabled list, so his presence could be purely for depth purposes. However, if everybody is healthy when he's ready to contribute, the team could consider dealing Zack Greinke or Hyun-jin Ryu. Greinke may opt out after the season which could make him expendable. A trade of Ryu seems unlikely since he can void his contract if dealt (via Twitter). Here's more from out west.
- The Dodgers and catcher Ali Solis have split ways over a contractual issue, reports Ken Gurnick of MLB.com. Details are unknown at this time. Solis was a non-roster invite to the big league camp. He's appeared briefly with the Padres and Rays, accruing 11 plate appearances in the process. He's a career .243/.291/.363 hitter over his nine season minor league career.
- Padres pitchers Josh Johnson and Brandon Morrow are familiar with rapid rebuilds, writes Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune. Both players were with the Blue Jays in 2013 when they were picked to win the division. The team fizzled and finished last in the AL East. Johnson also experienced the 2012 rebuild of the Marlins. Both players point to chemistry and cohesiveness as an important missing element. Only time will tell if the Padres can bond together.
- Every team has a player in the best shape of his life. One such to watch may be Mariners slugger Jesus Montero, writes Tim Brown of Yahoo. The once-prospect dropped 45 pounds from the hefty 275 he weighed last spring. Per manager Lloyd McClendon, "I think he's in a much better place as a human being…The baseball skills, we'll see."

AL West Notes: Montero, Coke, Profar, Hamilton
Jesus Montero has been a massive disappointment with the Mariners, but spent the offseason putting himself in position for a turnaround, as Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports. Montero is in great shape, as photo and video confirms, and is certainly young and talented enough to hold plenty of promise.
More from the west:
- The Rangers are still looking at lefty Phil Coke and watched him throw again recently, reports Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News. GM Jon Daniels discussed the possibility of adding an arm today, noting that depth is always valuable but expressing interest in seeing his current group in camp. (Video via Anthony Andro of FOX Sports Southwest.) While the club has to this point been unwilling to make Coke a major league offer, with the southpaw still holding out for a 40-man spot, Fraley notes that the bad news on Jurickson Profar will clear a big league roster space since he is destined for the 60-day DL.
- As for the unfortunate news on Profar, the Rangers' head baseball decisionmaker firmly rejected the idea that the prospect deserved criticism for trying to avoid surgery by rehab. While the news that a procedure would be required was not a total surprise, Daniels said that the 22-year-old infielder made the difficult decision for good reasons and worked very hard over the offseason. Certainly, Daniels did not sound like he was interested in giving up on Profar. "Fortunately, he's still just 22 years old," said the GM. "We'll get him back and we'll get him out there."
- Angels slugger Josh Hamilton is going to require a longer recovery from shoulder surgery than originally expected, as MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez reports. At this point, it isn't even clear that Hamilton will be close enough to report to spring camp. It still does not seem that an addition will truly be necessary, with Matt Joyce on hand to step in. Hamilton's absence will presumably also create additional opportunities for players like Collin Cowgill and waiver claimees Alfredo Marte and Roger Kieschnick.

Mariners Notes: Happ, Rotation, Outfielders, Montero, Beimel
The Mariners held their yearly pre-Spring Training media luncheon yesterday, and Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune has some highlights from sessions with manager Lloyd McClendon and GM Jack Zduriencik…
- There's been a bit of speculation that left-hander J.A. Happ, acquired from the Blue Jays in the Michael Saunders trade, would pitch out of the bullpen, but McClendon quickly squashed that chatter. "We didn't acquire Happ to pitch out of the bullpen," McClendon said. "We can put all of that to rest. He will be pitching in our rotation."
- McClendon added that there will be a competition for only one spot in the rotation, though he declined to specify who on the club's roster will definitively be joining Happ, Felix Hernandez and Hisashi Iwakuma in the rotation. Dutton, however, writes that "all signs point" to James Paxton being guaranteed a spot, meaning that the fifth slot in the rotation will be a battle between Taijuan Walker, Roenis Elias and possibly Erasmo Ramirez.
- Others could join that competition, as Zduriencik told the media that he's hopeful of adding another starting pitcher, although further additions would likely come in the form of minor league deals with invitations to Spring Training. The Mariners would like any non-roster invitees to be able to provide depth in the minors, which may be a tough sell, Dutton notes, as veteran starters that will have to settle for minor league deals may prefer to sign with a club that presents a clearer path to a Major League roster spot.
- The Mariners are likely to sign a veteran outfielder as well, Dutton writes. Zduriencik acknowledged that the team "may do a few little tinkerings" before Spring Training to bring in a veteran player or two that could compete for a job. Seattle has been linked to Endy Chavez on multiple occasions.
- Seattle is very happy with Jesus Montero's offseason conditioning, as the former top prospect has lost roughly 40 pounds and is down to the team's target weight of 235 pounds. Said Zduriencik of Montero: "He appears to be a guy who, maybe, the lights have gone on for him. He's going to get a chance in spring training. We'll see."
- Left-hander Joe Beimel is still a "possibility" for the club, Dutton writes. The 37-year-old Beimel (38 in April) posted a 2.20 ERA with 5.0 K/9, 2.8 BB/9 and a 49.6 percent ground-ball rate in 45 innings for Seattle last season. He also held left-handed hitters to a paltry .188/.217/.288 batting line.
- Dutton also provides updates on a few of the club's top prospects and injury updates on Elias, Willie Bloomquist, Danny Hultzen and Dustin Ackley in addition to discussing what is likely to be a Spring battle between Brad Miller and Chris Taylor to see who will be the Mariners' everyday shortstop. The entire roundup is worth a look for Mariners fans.

AL West Notes: Angels, Rangers, DeShields, Montero
The Angels employ a young quartet of analysts in their baseball operations department, and the four young executives took some time to talk about the work they do with the Orange County Register's Pedro Moura. Jeremy Zoll, Jonathan Strangio, Nate Horowitz and Mike LaCassa (whose ages range from 24 to 28) discuss their efforts, which include seeing if trends translate from college to minor league ball and grouping players by swing path and testing splits for trends. Manager Mike Scioscia spoke with Moura as well regarding the team's increased usage of information: "As we've organized and analyzed numbers better, it's helped us, primarily on the defensive front. It's also helped with some lineup issues or determinations. I think our decisiveness was noticeable last year." GM Jerry Dipoto said that each of Zoll, Strangio, Horowitz and LaCassa is future GM material and offered high praise for his young lieutenants.
Here's more from the AL West…
- New Rangers special assistant Michael Young sat down with Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News to discuss his new role with the team. Among the topics they discussed were Young's involvement in the hiring of manager Jeff Banister — Young particularly praised Banister's communication prowess — and the problems with the 2014 club. Young said that in addition to injuries, the Rangers lacked leadership with their best players out, which sometimes led to a poor collective approach to the daily grind of a 162-game season.
- In a piece for Baseball America, the Fort Worth Star Telegram's Jeff Wilson writes that Rule 5 pick Delino DeShields Jr. will be given an opportunity to make the Rangers' Opening Day roster as a backup center field option. GM Jon Daniels tells Wilson that he likes "the combination of now and the future" with DeShields, whom he can envision getting some time in left field in addition to backing up Leonys Martin. DeShields' work ethic has been questioned in the past, but Wilson writes that the Rangers feel the environment fostered by Banister will help turn that around.
- Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik told reporters today, including the Tacoma News Tribune's Bob Dutton, that he isn't concerned about adding a backup first baseman to serve as a safety net in the event that Logan Morrison is again injured in 2015. "We're going to work real hard with Jesus Montero in spring training," Zduriencik said. "We've talked about the strides he's made this winter. We'll see if he's a player or not. That's going to be up to him, and we'll see what happens." Dutton also mentions Brad Miller as a backup possibility at first, although Zduriencik didn't list Miller specifically.

Mariners Designate Corey Hart For Assignment
The Mariners have re-instated Jesus Montero to their 40-man roster and designated pending free agent Corey Hart for assignment in order to make room, according to Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune (Twitter link).
Because Hart is a pending free agent, the move is a largely procedural one; he'd have been off the team's 40-man roster following the postseason anyway and wasn't a candidate for a qualifying offer base on a down season. The former Brewer batted just .203/.271/.319 in his lone season with the Mariners — a clear disappointment for a team that was undoubtedly hoping to have secured something closer to the .279/.343/.514 batting line he posted from 2010-12 in Milwaukee. Anything close to that production would've made his $6MM base salary a bargain, but Hart was a known risk after missing all of 2013 due to a pair of knee surgeries.

Left-hander Yasmany Hernandez has left Cuba for an undisclosed third country with the goal of signing a MLB contract, per Diario De Cuba (h/t Baseball America's Ben Badler). Badler provides a scouting report on the 23-year-old, who led Serie Nacional with a 1.66 ERA this past season. Hernandez will be exempt from international bonus restrictions after pitching five seasons in Serie Nacional, but Badler doesn't expect teams to show as much interest in Hernandez as fellow Cubans have drawn. Here are more notes from around the game.
- Badler also recently appeared on the Providence Journal's Super Two podcast with Tim Britton and Brian MacPherson, where he discussed new Red Sox outfielder Rusney Castillo. Badler says teams are becoming increasingly receptive to spending big money on Cuban players thanks to the successes of players like Jose Abreu and Yasiel Puig, adding that the added power Castillo demonstrated since leaving Cuba increased his value on the market.
- Free-agent-to-be Russell Martin would be a great fit for the Cubs, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times writes. Signing Martin would involve making a significant financial commitment and giving up on Welington Castillo as a starting catcher, but Martin could help mold the Cubs' young pitching and provide a strong example for the rest of its young roster.
- The Mariners will not retain national cross-checker Butch Baccala, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports. Baccala is the scout who sent Jesus Montero ice cream during a minor league game while Montero was rehabbing, seemingly as an insult regarding Montero's weight. Montero threw the ice cream at Baccala and was suspended.
- The Pirates had a quiet trade deadline, but they've had a strong second half anyway, MLB.com's Tom Singer writes. In particular, they didn't complete a trade for a starting pitcher and didn't improve what appeared to be a weak bullpen. Since then, though, their bullpen has quietly become a strength, thanks in part to the emergence of John Holdzkom, and their offense has papered over any rotation issues. "You'll get second-guessed no matter what you do," says Bucs manager Clint Hurdle. "That's just the nature of the world. So you gotta do what you feel in your gut is right."
- The Rays are ready to see what they've got in Nick Franklin, who they're promoting Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times writes. The Rays, of course, acquired Franklin from the Mariners in the three-team deal in which they sent David Price to Detroit. Since the trade, Franklin has hit .210/.288/.290 in 113 plate appearances for Triple-A Durham, although his track record indicates he's capable of hitting better.
- Padres assistant director of scouting operations Don Welke, who arrived recently from the Rangers organization along with new GM A.J. Preller, is enjoying his first month with San Diego, Corey Brock of MLB.com writes. Welke and other members of the Padres' front office are currently in Arizona, where they're watching Padres prospects play in the instructional league.

Mariners Place Jesus Montero On Suspended List
The Mariners have placed first baseman Jesus Montero on the suspended list for the remainder of the 2014 season, the team announced. The move comes as no surprise given that Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik recently said that Montero wouldn't play again this year in order to focus on off-the-field issues. Montero's suspension and Willie Bloomquist being moved to the 60-day DL creates two spots on the team's 40-man roster that have been filled by catcher Humberto Quintero and right-hander Carson Smith, who had their contracts selected in corresponding moves.
It was only a few years ago that Montero was considered one of the very best prospects in all of baseball, yet his star has almost completely dimmed after three tumultuous years in Seattle. Montero has hit only .251/.291/.378 with 19 homers over 680 PA as a Mariner while battling injuries, weight issues and a 50-game suspension for his involvement in the Biogenesis case. Just last Thursday, Montero got into a heated altercation with a Mariners scout that apparently stemmed from the crosschecker sending an ice cream sandwich to the dugout as a taunt about Montero's weight.
Montero was hitting well (an .839 OPS in 409 PA) at Triple-A this season and it seems far too early to write off his career given that he's just 24 years old. It remains to be seen, however, whether he'll get another chance with the Mariners organization following this latest incident.

Quick Hits: Montero, Astros, Pierzynski
Jesus Montero was at the center of a bizarre situation on Thursday night, as MILB.com's Tyler Maun reports. While on a rehab assignment at Seattle's short-season class A affiliate, Montero reportedly had to be restrained from going after a Mariners crosschecker with a bat after the scout reportedly sent an ice cream sandwich to the dugout. Butch Baccala, the crosschecker in question, tells Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times that the incident is "not what is being portrayed," though he didn't want to comment further until speaking with Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik.
- There is discord between Astros GM Jeff Luhnow and manager Bo Porter, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports, and things may have gotten bad enough that "it's difficult to imagine the Astros starting the 2015 season with the same management team." Porter feels he doesn't have enough input in the team's plans and Luhnow too often second-guesses his in-game decisions, plus there were some hard feelings over Mark Appel's bullpen session at Minute Maid Park last month.
- Yadier Molina's return shouldn't end A.J. Pierzynski's stint with the Cardinals, FOX Sports Midwest's Stan McNeal writes. Molina will need to be eased into his usual workload behind the plate, and with rosters expanding, the Cards will have room for three catchers (Tony Cruz being the third). Pierzynski has also been a fit in the Cardinals' clubhouse following the drama that marked his exit from Boston.
- The Braves were the other finalist for right-hander Brandon Poulson, Baseball America's Bob Padecky reports. Poulson ended up signing a $250K bonus with the Twins, capping off a fairly incredible route to pro baseball for the 6'7″ fireballer.
- Commissioner-elect Rob Manfred figures to differ from Bud Selig in several areas, and ESPN's Jayson Stark outlines some of the areas that Manfred will focus on when he officially takes over the job.

AL West Notes: Kinsler, Montero/Pineda, Dominguez
New Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler offered up some surprisingly candid remarks surrounding his old team, the Rangers, in an interview with Robert Sanchez of ESPN the Magazine. Kinsler touched on the fact that he wasn't happy to be asked to move off second base, didn't approve of how Michael Young was treated by the organization and ultimately called general manager Jon Daniels a "sleazeball." Kinsler, who told Sanchez he hoped the Rangers go 0-162 in 2014, tells the Detroit Free Press (All Twitter links) that he's not pleased with the way the story turned out: "I'm not happy about it. The story was written for drama and taken a little out of context. But it is what it is." Asked about the 0-162 comment, Kinsler told the Free Press: "It's a matter of telling a joke, to be honest with you." The three-time All-Star said he's not planning to reach out to Daniels about the "sleazeball" comment, but stressed that it, too, was taken out of context.
Here's a bit more on Kinsler and some other AL West-related news items…
- Kinsler's former teammates Elvis Andrus and Adrian Beltre aren't bothered by the comments and don't have any ill will toward Kinsler, writes Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News. Beltre told Fraley, "It doesn't bother me. He's still my friend." Andrus had a similar take, stating, "He's my buddy. … He's still my friend. I don't take anything from that." Manager Ron Washington told Fraley he's not affected by Kinsler's opinions.
- MLB.com's Doug Miller looks back on what seemed to be a win-win trade in January 2012, noting that neither the Mariners nor Yankees have gotten much value out of the Michael Pineda/Jesus Montero trade. Miller spoke with both players and their respective managers about the chances that each has to make an impact with their clubs this season.
- Astros third baseman Matt Dominguez tells Tom D'Angelo of the Palm Beach Post that he doesn't have hard feelings toward the Marlins for trading him and doesn't feel that the team gave up on him. "They thought that trade was in the best interest, decided to give me up, it's worked out for me." Dominguez says that "everyone" knew his glove was ahead of his bat at the time of the deal, but he's starting to get his confidence back at the plate. The 24-year-old slashed .241/.286/.403 with 21 homers for the Astros last season.
- Bob Dutton of Tacoma News Tribune writes that Mariners top prospect is scheduled to begin playing catch on Thursday and is on a three-week program to build up arm strength. Barring setbacks, he could be able to join Seattle's rotation in mid-April.

awesome gear never made the transition from Korea to the USA, huh? Not so in the case of the infamous sausage stylus we spotted a month ago. That cold weather peripheral -- allowing its ingenious users to operate a capacitive touchscreen with gloves on -- has made the big leap over to the Americas and can be yours for the low (seriously low) price of $0.99. Naturally, it's a sausage, so it will be compatible with not just iPhones but anything receptive to capacitive touch, although you should be cognizant of the "not for consumption" label -- compatibility with human stomachs is unlikely.

Marcellus Just because the Marcellus football team has worked its way to five consecutive victories and a Section III Class B playoff berth doesn't mean that it has found every bit of good fortune.
The Mustangs, who beat Solvay 41-23 Friday night to retain the Tom Anthony Silver Cup, enter the post-season as one of the hottest teams in Central New York, but does so as a low seed with a difficult obstacle right in front of them.
Three sides - Marcellus, Mexico and Homer - tied for second place in the Class B West division, each with 4-2 league marks. But the tie-breaker, involving first-half points, went in the Tigers' favor, so it finished second, while the Trojans got third and the Mustangs were left in fourth place.
As a result, in next Saturday's opening round of the Class B playoffs, Marcellus must travel to 7-0 Cazenovia, the defending sectional champions.
At least it goes there with lots of momentum. Solvay arrived at Marcellus with an 0-6 mark, knowing that it could make its entire season by snatching the trophy named in honor of Tom Anthony, who coached both the Mustangs and Bearcats.
Sure enough, on the game's opening kickoff, Solvay's Matt Lauro tore through the Marcellus coverage and raced 79 yards to the end zone, immediately putting the Bearcats in front 6-0.
All that did, though, was awaken the Mustangs, who proceeded to dominate the rest of the first half by recording 28 unanswered points.
Marcellus grabbed the lead with a solid scoring drive that led to quarterback Kyle Hastings scoring on a one-yard plunge. Later in the period, Jason Decker, long known for his defensive prowess, raced 37 yards for a touchdown on the offensive end.
Hastings would take over in the second period. He scored his second rushing TD on a two-yard run, and just before halfitme he found Brad Kermes on a 29-yard scoring pass.

E.R. nurse Ella Majors has seen all the misery that she can handle. Burned-out and unsure of her next step, she accepts the temporary position as caregiver to Marion Henderson, a frightened five-year-old who suffers from juvenile diabetes.
But Ella soon realizes there is more sorrow in the isolated home than the little girl's illness can account for. Harris Henderson, a single father, seems better able to deal with the wild birds he rehabilitates in his birds-of-prey sanctuary than with his own daughter.
Then something magical begins to happen: the timeless beauty of the South Carolina coast and the majestic grace of the wild birds weave a healing spell on the injured hearts at the sanctuary. But a troubled mother's unexpected return will test the fragile bonds of trust and new love, and reveal the inherent risks and exhilarating beauty of flying free.

Codemasters is heading back to the circuits and streets of the world with a new twist in their popular GRID franchise. This time the team is combining multiple race disciplines into one game. With GRID Autosport gamers can take the wheel of super fast endurance cars, highly tuned open wheeled cars or tricked out tuner cars. You'll be tasked with finishing as high as possible and earning points for your race team. While GRID Autosport offers a bunch of variety unlike other racers from Codemasters, the quality of the racing action is all over the place.
A big chunk of your time will be racing through multiple seasons in the game's career mode. Each season consists of a few events in a single discipline of your choosing at the start of the season. There are 5 disciplines in all, Touring, Endurance, Tuner, Open-Wheel, Street Racing. Each discipline puts you behind specialized cars and has you driving unique circuits. However the Touring, tuner and Street Racing cars all felt very similar, with the main difference being the circuits or events you will compete in. For instance Touring events are large wide circuits, while street racing has you on tight city street courses, and then Tuner mixes both together but puts you in time attack and drift style events. So while the cars might feel very similar in these 3 disciplines the techniques and skills you have to use to compete in the events are hugely different.
Each season is set-up relatively the same. At the start you pick the discipline you want to race for that season and then you'll pick a team from various team offers. Different offers will reward different XP amounts. As you race and complete team objectives you'll earn XP and increase your rank. Each rank you increase opens up new offers and new events. The first few seasons of a discipline are pretty quick but further along the number of events increase.
Unlike the other racers in the Codemasters library, GRID Autosport is not a difficult game to pick-up. Each discipline is very easy to pick up and master after a few laps. No matter how hard you make the game it doesn't challenge anywhere close to F1 or DiRT does. The only difference I really felt in difficulty was that the AI became even more aggressive and unbearable to race against.
On Track Action
Codemasters has always done a great job at capturing the speed and action of racing in its titles. From the intense mud flying of DiRT to the realistic changes to how the track and cars handle in F1. GRID Autosport is a bit of a mixed bag in the on track department. Firstly the AI is horrible. Your opponents are more demolition derby drivers, side swiping and jamming you at every opportunity. There is also a teammate function added to the game which when used properly can really help you in the standings. Using the bumpers you can alter how aggressive or defensive your teammate is driving. This can be used to help you in many ways. For instance if your teammate is ahead of you, you can have them drive defensive, which causes them to block heavily, many times this will cause the field to slow down and get jammed up allowing you to catch up and pass. You can also use your teammate as a blocker if they are behind you. Unfortunately your teammate forgets you are on the same team when you are trying to overtake them and will act like the other AI side swiping and jamming you in every corner.
Car controls are pretty generic, you have some difference between open wheel and the other cars, but the controls are nowhere near the same level we have seen in the past. And no matter the length of the event the cars never really feel any different unless you take damage. In F1 you would feel the track and car change as more rubber was laid down, in GRID Autosport open wheel races feel the same at the start and end of the event. However if you drive reckless and smash-up your car you will feel the damage, messing up the steering will cause the car to pull, damaging the engine will make you lose power.
The Sights and Sounds
The GRID, DiRT and F1 franchises have always been amazing looking games. Unfortunately this outing is a bit of a mixed bag. I don't know if it's because I've played so many racing games on the Xbox One lately that going back to the 360 has skewed my perception. But compared to the specialized racing titles Codemasters has put out, GRID Autosport is just a bit off in the visuals department. The environments don't have as much pop as we saw in DiRT 3, crowds and trees are low quality and just draw your attention away. And the car effects, like sparks, smoke and damage just aren't up to the quality we see in F1 and GRID 2. I really think that the scope and scale of the game requires a lot of power and space something that the new consoles aren't as limited on. Also with the inclusion of a pretty nice cockpit view which fans have wanted a lot of visual resources were used up. Sitting in the cockpit view is a pretty awesome experience and the team have done a great job to capture the speed and feel of being in these different race cars.
The Wrap Up
GRID Autosport is a deep racing game from a developer that I consider being the top in the racing genre. However even with the game's depth it has a few flaws that we haven't witnessed in earlier games under the Codemasters umbrella. I think some are due to limitations of the Xbox 360 and PS3, but others are just due to the attempt at creating such a huge and varied racing game. Visuals aside the biggest issue with this game is the AI. The AI just makes the game annoying at times. If you aren't out front, you should expect a demolition derby, as the AI's top goal seems to be hit everything that moves. There is a ton of potential in GRID Autosport and I love the variety in racing styles and events. I think with a little more attention to the AI system and more horsepower from the current-gen consoles this would have been another hit for Codemasters, for now I'd stick to the fun of GRID 2 and DiRT 3.

Horrible AI, Mixed Graphics
GRID Autosport has tons of potential but it is hampered by poor AI.

Welcome to Classic Transfers
Our aim is to provide restorers and enthusiasts with transfers and graphics made to the highest attainable standard. We hope you enjoy scrolling through our catalogue and viewing the images in the galleries, helping you find the exact transfers you need for your restoration.
All the British and U.S.A. transfers are illustrated and we are still working through the remaining catalogues.
Our background is mainly motor cycle orientated but over the years we have found that many motorcycle transfers were used on bicycles, and vice versa. If you're unable to find what you need always ask as we may be about to have the item printed.
The majority of our stocks are the popular waterslide transfers but we also supply vinyl graphics where originally they were in that format. Low volume sellers are also supplied as vinyl graphics where a waterslide print run would be uneconomic. We use only best quality cast 10 year vinyl with a 'thinness' of 50 microns (2 thou inch).
By far the majority of our artwork is produced by hand-drawing (as were the originals) and we resist the temptation to produce transfers using standard computer fonts, thus keeping the period look of the originals.
We have tried to be as accurate as we can with the relevant location and year information in our listings, but your detailed knowledge of a particular model may well be greater than ours.
The appropriate application and overcoating instructions are always supplied with the transfers and we would point out that all orders are sent out in polythene bags within a board backed envelope, ensuring that it should reach you in perfect condition at all times. We use only first class mail and air mail.
