Alfa Romeo USA has posted a two-minute spot talking up the technology and capabilities of the 4C, with beauty shots of the car augmented by an amorous pantomime between two beautiful people wearing a whisper of clothing and some un-subtle editing.

Nothing quite sounds like a vintage Alfa Romeo four-cylinder engine at full gallop, especially in motorsport trim. With a combination of low-frequency burbling played over a high-pitch scream, they really know how to sing. This week Petrolicious takes a look at a truly unique Alfa Sprint Speciale that's just as adept at competing in the wide-open La Carrera Panamericana vintage race in Mexico as it is snaking through some undulating, tree-lined back roads.

We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.

Pebble Beach and the festivities around Monterey recently provided a great excuse for a road trip, and Leno seemingly had a pretty full dance card.

Alfa Romeo has made all manner of vehicles over the years: hatchbacks, sedans, wagons, coupes... there's even been talk of a crossover. But it could be argued that the quintessential Alfa Romeo is a roadster. While the future of the program with Mazda remains in doubt, Alfa has arrived in Geneva this year with a Spider version of the nimble little 4C.

Alfa Romeo's gorgeous 4C remains a car that we in the United States are forced to admire from afar. Thankfully, our petrolheaded brethren in the UK and Europe seem all too happy to flaunt the 4C at most every opportunity. Take this video of the team at Goodwood, running the mid-engined Alfa up the estate's historic hill.

Following the Top Gear adage "You can't be a true petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa Romeo," is rather difficult for those of us in North America. Faced with a distinct lack of new cars and an equally disturbing abundance of vintage basketcases, the road to Alfa ownership is a difficult one for residents of the new world.

We're still not sure if or when we'll get it, but we know how fast it'll get 'round the Nürburgring, we know its headlights can give the trypophobic the heeby-jeebies and we know we like it. During a track day in Italy and thanks to YouTube user Marchettino, we also know what it looks like in white and what its 1.75-liter, four-cylinder exhaust note sounds like when you aim a camera at its rear and have someone lay his foot on the throttle.

Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from t
48Does Alfa Romeo's US return hinge on Chrysler-Fiat deal?
- Jeffrey N. Ross
- Oct 7, 2013
- 48
A Bloomberg report from last month said that if Chrysler ends up offering an IPO, it could jeopardize the entire alliance between the Auburn Hills-based automaker and Fiat, but the outlet now says that an IPO could crush the dreams of hopeful Alfa Romeo 4C owners in the US. As the latest Bloomberg report indicates, publically traded shares would prevent Fiat from gaining full control of Chrysler. This would leave Fiat without the full access to Chrysler's cash flow, technology and manufacturing

If you're like us, Alfa Romeo's long-awaited and oft-promised return to the United States will be a joyous event, not least because it'll be heralded by the car you see above - the 4C. Drive's Chris Harris was at the launch in Italy, putting the punchy, lightweight Alfa Romeo through its paces, and doing a bit of sliding around on the Balocco proving grounds.

Operating a Formula One team is no cheap endeavor for an automaker, which could be why Honda, Toyota and BMW all dropped theirs when the going got tough. But not the Fiat Group. With the Scuderia Ferrari under its umbrella, Fiat has access to a cadre of experienced racing and test drivers, and all without spending a penny: Ferrari claims it operates its F1 team without any investment from its parent company. And what's more is that its drivers are some of the best in the world.

"I'm interested in human beings," Herbie Hancock tells Elvis Costello on tonight's episode of Spectacle: Elvis Costello With… (airing Wednesdays at 9pm EST/PST on the Sundance Channel). Hancock, one of the crucial figures in 20th century jazz and winner of last year's Grammy Award for Album of the Year (River: The Joni Letters), is speaking about his music in relation to its audience, about the bond between the origin of a sound and its destination. The manner in which he breaks down the particulars of performance—whether it be a Gershwin standard, some Headhunters funk, or early-'80s robo-jazz—makes this episode of Spectacle one of the very best.
Texas singer-songwriter Gretchen Phillips is about to release her first new album in five years. The proudly out lesbian and Texas Music Hall of Fame inductee continues her smart, thought-provoking brand of songwriting on I Was Just Comforting Her. Lead-off track "Red State/Blue State" is an electro-pop ditty with an optimistic message that suits the Age of Obama. It's in keeping with her desire to explore higher studio production values as well. Phillips says of the new record, "I got hungry for really big production. Not big production for big production's sake, but to make an album that utilized every instrument and sound that I felt would serve the songs. I decided not to scrimp on my recording budget and not to give myself any time constraints. I wanted to work on it until I was totally satisfied."

Dan Raper handed out an 8 to Black Dice's 2007 Load Blown, a collection of the band's 12-inchs released during that year on Paw Tracks. About the Animal Collective labelmates he said: "The coalescing of chaos into something approaching the ordered groove of beat-fuelled electronica serves as an appropriate moment for distinction between Black Dice and those other gnarly Brooklynites, Excepter. Whereas the latter have been playing around with basic songform, setting up and undercutting expectation with an academic, over listenability bent, Black Dice's noisy grooves have a more identifiable emotion beneath the mess and junk." Black Dice's new album Repo drops on April 7th and here is the first single.

5 More Stocks For Your Stocking 0 comments
Impressive price and volume action Tuesday is consistent with the resumption of the intermediate term uptrend and Moneyshow's Tom Aspray has five stocks in the hottest sectors that may reach their buy levels before Christmas.
The strong market internals again Tuesday along with heavier volume indicates a sustainable new uptrend is underway. This is in sharp contrast to the post-election mood when many concluded that the fundamentals were warning of a weak economy if not a new recession.
From a technical perspective the action of the stock market since the June lows has been suggesting that the economy was actually doing better than most expected. It was just two weeks ago when the mixed economic data raised more concerns about the stock market from the fundamental analysts.
Especially impressive on Tuesday was the volume in many individual stocks as it was the highest in many weeks and confirmed that there was real buying to accompany the impressive price action. This favors more gains as we head into 2013 but there are clearly going to be setbacks along the way especially until a deal is reached on the fiscal cliff.
New buying now should be focused, I believe, on stocks in the strongest sectors as the Select Sector SPDR Financial (XLF) and the Select Sector SPDR Consumer Discretionary (XLY) are beating the yearly performance of the Spyder Trust (SPY) by a wide margin. Health care also looks strong as the Select Sector SPDR Health Care (XLV) is up 1.5% in the past two days.
In reviewing the current Charts in Play Portfolio that now includes the small-cap plays I discussed last week, I wanted to focus on new financial and health care stocks to add to the portfolio. These picks have impressive volume action, which favors even higher prices.
Click to Enlarge
Chart Analysis: Unum Corp. (UNM) is a $5.85 billion accident and health insurance company that has current yield of 2.5%. The daily chart shows Tuesday's close just barely above the resistance at line a.
- A completion of the recent trading range has initial upside targets in the $23 area, with the early 2012 high at $24.81
- There is longer-term resistance at the 2008 high of $29.86.
- The relative performance broke its downtrend, line b, in late October as it started a new uptrend.
- The daily on-balance volume (OBV) closed above resistance, line d, that does back to August.
- There is initial support at $20.55 and rising 20-day EMA with further support in the $20 area.
- The quarterly pivot line is at $19.56 (see chart), which represents important support.
- The weekly OBV and RS lines (not shown) are both above their WMAs.
Life Technologies Corp. (LIFE) is an $8.9 billion global life sciences company. Tuesday's close above the resistance that goes back to late 2011, line e, was five times the average volume.
- The all time high at $57.25 was made in the first quarter on 2011.
- The major 127.2% Fibonacci retracement target is at $63.23.
- The relative performance bottomed last summer and shows a solid uptrend, line g, over the past few months.
- The daily OBV bottomed last June and also shows a well-defined uptrend, line i.
- The OBV broke through strong resistance, line h, just over a week ago.
- The recent pullback reached the $49.16 level, with further support now at $48.60.
- The quarterly pivot line at $46.69 was tested in November.
Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC) is a $16.82 billion dollar aerospace/defense company that is part of the industrial sector.
- The correction from the October 2012 high at $71.25 just violated the 50% Fibonacci support at $64 as it made a low of $62.80.
- There is resistance from 2011 at $72.50 and then at $85.21, which was the late 2007 high.
- The daily relative performance made new highs in October and has just moved back above its WMA.
- The RS line has good support at line b
- The daily OBV moved through its resistance last week, pulled back to the breakout level before turning higher Tuesday.
- There is initial support at $66.56, which is the quarterly pivot with stronger at $64.80-$65.50.
US Bancorp (USB) was one of the Twitter recommendations I made yesterday. It currently yields 2.4% and the monthly chart analysis looks very strong as it broke through major resistance, line d, in March.
- The monthly trading range (lined d and e) has upside targets in the $38-$40 area.
- The monthly starc+ band is at $38.90.
- The monthly relative performance confirmed the March breakout and has now pulled back to its WMA.
- The monthly OBV has held very strong on the recent pullback as it is very close to its all-time highs and well above its uptrend, line g.
- There is minor support now at $31.80 and then further in the $30.90-$31.30 area.
What it Means: So far it has been a good week for stocks and a strong weekly close will further support my view that investors should Stuff Those Stockings with Stocks. Two of these stocks are in the financial sector with one health care and one industrial stock.
Though stocks could accelerate to the upside if a deal on the fiscal cliff is reached, I would not chase stocks and still look for slight pullbacks to buy. It is still important to keep your eye on the risk on any new purchases. In the December 7 update on the Charts in Play portfolio I raised some stops, and I am now adjusting them further, as well as updating for new positions.
How to Profit: For Unum Corp. (UNM), go 50% long at $21.12 and 50% long at $20.86, with a stop at $19.89 (risk of approx. 5.2% ).
For Life Technologies Corp. (LIFE), go 50% long at $51.04 and 50% long at $50.48, with a stop at $47.36 (risk of approx. 6.7% ).
For Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC), go 50% long at $68.02 and 50% long at $67.52, with a stop at $65.48 (risk of approx. 3.3%).
From yesterday's tweet: Buy US Bancorp (USB) at $31.94, with a stop at $30.83 (risk of approx 3.4%).
Buy McDonald's Corp. (MCD) at $89.58 or better, with a stop at $87.22.

By Rebecca Moore email@example.com | June 14, 2012 Page 1 of 2 View Full Article In addition, the number of companies offering financial planning benefits to executives continues to rise. Nearly 45% of companies offered this benefit in 2011. Plan participation remained steady at 46.4% of the eligible population, with the highest levels of participation (58%) seen in plans that both offer a company match and are informally funded. For the first time, respondents were asked to describe their criteria for determining plan eligibility. The question was asked to find out whether a strong prevalence exists for tying eligibility to compensation, title, job grade or some combination of all three. While sponsors' responses varied according to their distinct corporate philosophies, title (24.6%) and job grade (23%) emerged as the most prevalent criteria for determining eligibility. Also new to the survey, respondents were asked whether or not they were considering any changes to their NQDCP. The vast majority (87%) reported they are not planning to make changes in 2012. Additions or enhancements in distribution and investment options were the top priorities for sponsors who are considering plan changes in the coming year.

No surprise on the Jim Hendry move. However, I was surprised to learn that he was originally fired before the Trade Deadline (July 22nd) yet decided to stay to help get all the draft picks signed. Quite a classy act if you ask me. Your thoughts ?
Jayson Stark (1:05 PM)
I know it's open season on Jim Hendry right now in Chicago. But I don't know anybody within the sport who doesn't like and respect him. And as I wrote in today's Rumblings column, which will be posted later today, anybody taking shots at him for all those ugly contracts needs to remember one thing: He was just following orders from his ownership group - to go all out to win, at just about any cost.
Quint (Indy)
Jayson - Now that everyone thinks the Cubs should dump Big Z, there is no way they are ever getting rid of Sorryano(who is the real problem) because they can't eat that much money. With that in mind would you keep Big Z if you could dump Sorryano
Jayson Stark (1:07 PM)
First off, it's a moot point, because Soriano is un-dumpable. Second, they're separate issues. Isn't it clear from the comments coming out of that clubhouse that the players don't want Zambrano back? A player like that just sucks too much energy out of the room to bring him back. Not to mention it wasn't enough for him to melt down when things went wrong. He had to drag his teammates into it, too. So I think we've seen the last of that guy in Chicago, no matter who else does or doesn't remain.
Mike (IL)
As a Tribe fan, I'm elated that Leyland has decided to rest Verlander instead of going for the near-auto win. Isn't this a bad decision on his part though? I mean, he's shown no signs of slowing down and they aren't even guaranteed to make the playoffs. Why not start him against the main team trying to catch them? He could end up getting plenty of rest this October...
Jayson Stark (1:09 PM)
Jim Leyland has a good reason for everything he does, but I disagree with this decision. These head-to-head games are too meaningful this time of year, and the rest of his rotation is too unreliable to pass up the chance to pitch Verlander on regular rest. That's my take, anyway. But Manager Leyland has won a lot more games than I have.
Geoff (Ann Arbor)
Hey, thanks for taking the time to do this. I've heard some talking about Justin Verlander and MVP. What are your thoughts on his chances given no pitcher has won it since '92?
Jayson Stark (1:11 PM)
Very interesting topic. No starting pitcher has won in 25 years, I believe -- since Roger Clemens in 1986. History tells us that voters don't vote for starting pitchers unless there's no deserving every-day players. That's not the case this year, so I think it's unlikely Verlander wins. But if there were ever a year, and ever a case, to re-think that philosophy, it's this year. If you take your MVP field and ask, "Where would this team be without this player?" the answer is pretty obvious in this case: The Tigers wouldn't be sitting anywhere near first place.
Peter (Tucson)
Who wins the NL West?
Jayson Stark (1:13 PM)
The Giants are in trouble, but I don't think they're anywhere near dead, unless Brian Wilson and Sergio Romo aren't going to be healthy the rest of the year. None of their injured players would appear to be out for the season. And their pitching gives them a shot to run off eight out of 10 at some point, if they can ever score a run or two. So I still think the Giants will rise from the near-dead.
Kev (NYC)
Can you please elaborate on the Verlander resting? Is he having a start skipped?
Jayson Stark (1:15 PM)
No. They had an off day yesterday. But instead of pitching him on the fifth day, on regular rest, they're giving the whole rotation an extra day by keeping everyone in order. So Verlander could have started Sunday on regular rest. Instead, he won't pitch till Monday, on the sixth day.
Andy (Philadelphia)
How do you think the Brewers match up with the Phillies in a best of seven?
Jayson Stark (1:16 PM)
The Brewers have that mojo working. And they have the 1-2-3 starters to beat any team in October. The one matchup issue they have against the Phillies in particular is lack of lefthanded bullpen options. Hard to beat the Phillies if your pitching staff is too righthanded, I think.
Justin (Chicago)
Getting back to Z and Sori - could Cubs try to eat their and lower the salary spend for a few years to offset? Is that entirely Rickets decision to make? We could get better production for far less cost.
Jayson Stark (1:18 PM)
Soriano just has way too many years and dollars left to eat. Zambrano only has one year left at $18M after this season, so he's different. Jim Hendry's M.O. has always been to try to trade a guy like that for somebody else's big-buck headache. Hard to know what approach the new GM will want to take. But there are certainly other players out there who fit that my-problem-for-your-problem deal profile: Zito, Burnett, Lowe, Carlos Lee, etc.
Matt (Athens)
I'm impressed by Verlander's season, too, but people seem to be overlooking the fact that there's a legitimate everyday MVP candidate on his own team in Miguel Cabrera. He's just headed for another .300/30/100 season in a pitchers' park. Ho-hum.
Jayson Stark (1:19 PM)
You're exactly right. Mentioned that in last week's chat. That's one more reason I don't see Verlander winning this thing. But it doesn't mean there isn't a great case for him.
Mike (San Diego)
The pitcher as MVP discussion brings up one of my favorite bar bets. I would think that if you ask someone who the last switch hitter to win the AL MVP was, you'll be hard pressed to find someone who gives you the correct answer of Vida Blue.
Jayson Stark (1:20 PM)
I'd have whiffed on that. As a noted triviologist, I can only say: Good one, Mike!
Matt (Northern Virginia)
I think the Braves can beat the Phills in the NLCS. How crazy am I?
Jayson Stark (1:21 PM)
You're not crazy at all. They need to get healthy, especially Hanson and Jurrjens. But I love the way their lineup fits together now. And that bullpen can shorten any game - especially against those lefthanded bats in Philly.
Jeremy (NJ)
I can't seem to understand why Paul Konerko gets no love in the MVP discussion. He is one of, if not the main reason the White Sox are anywhere near the playoff discussion, and he is in the top 10 in the AL in HR, RBI, and Avg. If the White Sox make the playoffs, it's going to be on the shoulders of Paulie.
Jayson Stark (1:24 PM)
I think the last six weeks of the season will tell us whether Konerko lifts himself into this debate. Right now, he's way back in the WAR rankings. (At 3.3 on FanGraphs, he has the same WAR as Elvis Andrus.) But if the White Sox make a charge and he's right in the middle of it, history tells us that the stretch-drive plot lines very often figure into who winds up winning. So he's not a top-five candidate right now. But again, that can change.
Sean (Chicago)
Who would be your franchise player to build a team around for the next decade?
Jayson Stark (1:25 PM)
I'll take Mike Stanton. Am I crazy?
Cale (MN)
Who wins NL MVP? Braun or Fielder?
Jayson Stark (1:27 PM)
I wrote about this in today's Rumblings. Won't be posted for a while because of the Jim Hendry story. But it's a tough call. And Justin Upton is another guy with a great case if the D-backs win. Right now, I'd lean toward Braun. But I'm glad I don't have to vote right now, because it's a mess.
Todd (Philly)
If we are going by WAR, it makes it even harder to ignore Verlander this year. That said, is WAR the most important stat for you when analyzing a MVP candidate?
Jayson Stark (1:30 PM)
I think WAR is an incredibly useful tool. But I don't think it's the only tool, because we're supposed to be assessing who's the most "valuable" player, not the most productive player compared to a potential replacement. So I always believe in factoring in who the players are around these guys. And while I don't think an MVP's team HAS to make the playoffs, I think that numbers compiled for a team that's in a race take on a different context than numbers compiled for a team that's out of a race. But WAR definitely helps us compare candidates. I just wish FanGraphs and baseball-reference.com would agree on how to compute it.
Jay (PA)
Has Michael Morse been the biggest suprise in the NL this year? I don't expect this to become the new norm, but do you think he can be a .280-25-85 guy for a few years?
Jayson Stark (1:32 PM)
If he's not THE biggest surprise, he's in the conversation. He's a guy other teams have been trying to trade for now for a couple of years, so a lot of people saw the talent. But did they see THIS level of talent? Not sure they did. I think he's for real. So those numbers seem very reachable.
Robert ((Fresno CA))
If Clayton Kershaw goes like 19-5..for a team that may only win 75 games...does he have a shot at the Cy Young?
Jayson Stark (1:34 PM)
Absolutely. He's had a fantastic season. There's no law that says a Phillie has to win the Cy Young. I don't recall anybody passing that rule when we weren't looking.
Matt (Toronto)
Nevermind Cabrera, the MVP plays 4 hours from the Tigers... That's right, in Toronto. i welcome anyone who can challenge this... intelligently. Keep up the good work and thanks for the chat.
Jayson Stark (1:36 PM)
There's going to be quite a debate on that, I have a feeling. Jose Bautista has been the most productive hitter in that league. It's hard to question that. But his team hasn't been a factor in any kind of race for weeks. So are voters going to vote for a candidate like that when they have good options on teams heading for the postseason? My bet is no. But if I were an AL MVP voter, I'd have to think long and hard about Bautista.
Holden (Philadelphia)
Do you think that having three cy young candidates (Hamels, Halladay, Lee) on one team hurts each of their individual chances to win?
Jayson Stark (1:38 PM)
It shouldn't have anything to do with the Cy Young voting. MVP criteria are different than the Cy Young criteria. The Cy Young is supposed to go to the guy who pitched the best. Period. Team performance is supposed to be mostly irrelevant. So it shouldn't have any effect, other than on the pyschology of a voter wondering if it was crazy to vote three teammates 1-2-3.
Bryan (MA)
If Pedro didn't win the MVP in '99, Verlander won't win it this year.
Jayson Stark (1:40 PM)
That's the best comparable out there. Two very similar situations. But you'll remember Pedro WOULD have won if two voters hadn't left him off their ballot completely. Why'd they do that? Because they don't think the MVP is a starting pitcher's award. That situation theoretically has been addressed, because the instructions to voters now specifically say we're allowed to consider pitchers and we're supposed to. But when it comes time to cast the ballot, I'm skeptical that most of these voters are really ready to vote for a pitcher.
Terence (NYC)
If you read the official voting rules, team performance is supposed to be irrelevant in MVP voting as well
Jayson Stark (1:41 PM)
Irrelevant? How? The whole concept of "valuable" implies that team performance is a key component. What's the exact wording you're talking about?
Logic (Here)
So the fact that bautista plays in a division with the rays, sox, and yankees should hurt his consideration? Its not like the blue jays stink, they just have 3 of the best teams in baseball in front of them.
Jayson Stark (1:43 PM)
I agree. They'd win the NL West if they were in it, I think. I'm just telling you how I think these voters will vote. It's not his fault his team hasn't been in a race. That doesn't mean it isn't going to hurt his candidacy. But when I'm an MVP voter, I believe in factoring in EVERYTHING. So with any luck, the 28 voters will factor that in when they start considering where to place Bautista.
Terence (NYC)
Doesn't mention team performance....it's an individual award1. Actual value of a player to his team, that is, strength of offense and defense.2. Number of games played.3. General character, disposition, loyalty and effort.4. Former winners are eligible.5. Members of the committee may vote for more than one member of a team.
Jayson Stark (1:45 PM)
It doesn't say that team has to finish first or make the postseason. That doesn't mean that's irrelevant when assessing "value to his team." If you look at the history of voting, it's been clear that's how voters tend to vote. Am I wrong on that?
Mike (San Diego)
Most valuable trivia?
Jayson Stark (1:47 PM)
Good point! Almost forgot. Just a warning: This is going to be a "wins" trivia question. Before I give the question, this announcement: Just because we now understand how to put "wins" in their proper context doesn't mean the stat has ceased to exist. Everybody got that?
Jayson Stark (1:48 PM)
OK, now here's the question: Since 2002 (Jim Hendry's first year as GM of the Cubs), only five righthanded pitchers have "won" more games than Carlos Zambrano (124). Name them!
BJ (Indiana)
You'd rather build around Stanton than, say, Starlin Castro?
Jayson Stark (1:50 PM)
I would. Mike Stanton has a chance to be the most dominant slugger in this sport for the next 10 years, if not longer. And he's driven to be great.
JoeC (Illinois)
CC Sabathia
Jayson Stark (1:50 PM)
I said "righthanded!"
JoeC (Illinois)
Justin Verlander
Jayson Stark (1:50 PM)
Hasn't been around long enough. Sorry.
Tom (ATL)
Jayson Stark (1:50 PM)
That's one of them. 128 wins for him.
Obvious (Answer)
Roy oswalt
Jayson Stark (1:51 PM)
That's two. 141 wins for him. And he's still the answer to EVERY question, right?
BJ (Indiana)
Jayson Stark (1:51 PM)
Nope. Got hurt. Only 96 wins for him.
JoeC (Illinois)
Roy Halladay
Jayson Stark (1:52 PM)
Of course! No. 1 on the list, with 166. So we've got two more to go. And they're not easy.
Todd (ATL)
Derek Lowe
Jayson Stark (1:52 PM)
Excellent! He's No. 2, with 144. One left.
BJ (Indiana)
Todd Helton???
Jayson Stark (1:53 PM)
I knew that was coming. Wrong!
Matt (Chicago)
Jayson Stark (1:53 PM)
Good guess, but just missed. 120 for him.
Jayson Stark (1:53 PM)
Another great guess, but also just missed. 122 for Garland.
Captain Obvious (America)
Bartolo Colon
Jayson Stark (1:54 PM)
Good try. But wrong! Only 96 for him.
Joe (Temecula)
Tim Wakefield!
Jayson Stark (1:54 PM)
Tremendous guess. Also wrong. Just 105 for him.
Jim C (Houston)
Freddie Garcia
Jayson Stark (1:54 PM)
Good try. But only 99 for him. And it's Freddy by the way.
Terry (Portland OR)
Bronson Arroyo?
Jayson Stark (1:55 PM)
Nice try. Only 103 for him.
Tyler (Los Angeles)
Jayson Stark (1:55 PM)
Couldn't believe nobody guessed him earlier. But he's wrong! Only 120 for him.
Anthony (MD)
John Lackey
Jayson Stark (1:56 PM)
Winner! 127 wins for John Lackey the last 10 seasons. Good work. Thanks for playing! Now let's cram in another couple of questions.
Danny (Seattle)
Do you think Prince Fielder would like to remain a Brewer? Any chance his teammates would restructure their contracts to give management enough money to resign him?
Jayson Stark (1:57 PM)
I always give the same answer to this: Who's his agent? It's Scott Boras. And what would all Scott Boras clients "like" to come out of free agency? Here's what: $$$$$$$$$ It's going to be about the most $$$$$$, and there's pretty much no chance of that happening in Milwaukee. Sorry!
Paul (albany, Or)
Why Stanton over Matt Kemp?
Jayson Stark (1:59 PM)
That would be an interesting debate, but Stanton is younger. So he has more peak years ahead of him. Also get the sense people around the sport are wary of Kemp's makeup. Concerned how he'd respond once he gets the big bucks.
Geoff (San Carlos, CA)
Chances of Thome landing with the Phils by the end of August? If not, any other potential candidates?
Jayson Stark (2:00 PM)
Remote. Extremely remote. I think Jack Cust winds up being their power bat off the bench in September/October.
Jayson Stark (2:00 PM)
Well, it's that time again. Let's see if we can work in one more.
Spencer Hulsey (Walnut Creek, CA)
Why isn't Tim Lincecum getting more CY Young love this year? Leads in road ERA (good park adjustment), high K total, and he doesn't get to face his own crappy SFGiants hitters to pad his stats like all the other candidates do!
Jayson Stark (2:02 PM)
You've got me. I tweeted last night that he's already left NINE games in which his team had scored no runs for him when he threw his final pitch. So when we talk about putting "wins" in their proper context, that pretty much sums up why they don't tell us a whole lot about how Lincecum has pitched. He's definitely in the argument.
Jayson Stark (2:02 PM)
Time to run, folks. But thanks for all the fun questions. See ya down the road in Chat Land.

iTunes now the No. 2 music retailer in the USIn addition to new notebooks on Tuesday, Apple announced that the latest market research data from NPD indicates that the iTunes Store recently surpassed Best Buy to become the number two music retailer in the US, behind only Wal-Mart.
The Cupertino-based company also said that there are now over 50 million iTunes Store customers who've combined to purchase over four billion songs, with an astounding 20 million songs sold on Christmas Day 2007 alone.
"We'd like to thank the over 50 million music lovers who have helped the iTunes Store reach this incredible milestone," said Eddy Cue, Apple's vice president of iTunes. "We continue to add great new features like iTunes Movie Rentals to give our customers even more reason to love iTunes."
iTunes had held the title of the No. 3 US music retail since last June, when it cruised by online retailer Amazon.com, snagging over 10 percent of the nation's overall music sales.
Apple's rank as a US music retail has been rising steadily ever since November 2005 when it passed Tower Records, Sam Goody and Borders to crack the Top-10 for the first time.

Lehman Judge Won't Redo JPMorgan $8.6 Billion Suit Ruling
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. lost a bid for a revised ruling on its $8.6 billion lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase & Co. when the judge said he was satisfied with the way he had dealt with the issues.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James Peck in April dismissed some of the defunct investment bank's claims, leaving others in place. Lehman, which is gathering money for a second payment to creditors, said it might gain hundreds of millions of dollars if he reinstated some claims he dismissed. Peck declined in an order signed yesterday.
In a July 12 hearing, Peck told Lehman it had other ways of recovering money from JPMorgan.
"I see absolutely no reason now to revisit the questions," Peck said, according to a transcript.
Lehman alleges that the New York-based lender helped cause its 2008 collapse by demanding $8.6 billion in collateral. JPMorgan said in February it would give Lehman almost $700 million to settle part of the suit. It continues to fight most of Lehman's claims.
The two parties also are fighting over a demand by JPMorgan, a key lender to Lehman in the 2008 credit crisis, for $6.3 billion it says it is owed. Peck said at the hearing this fight was one of the ways for Lehman to recover money from the bank.
Judge's Ruling
Peck's April ruling was that Lehman cannot claim money from JPMorgan for securities transactions governed by so-called safe harbor law, devised to protect banks dealing with weak companies. Lehman is entitled to pursue the remaining "fact driven causes of action," he said.
Lehman filed the biggest bankruptcy in U.S. history in September 2008, listing $613 billion in debt. Now out of bankruptcy, it has said it expects to pay creditors 18 cents on the dollar by 2016 or so.
Kimberly Macleod, a Lehman spokeswoman, declined to comment immediately on Peck's decision.
The lawsuit is Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, 10-03266, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Hi all,
Im making some custom modifications of the s2member wp-login.php page. I want to have a form for forgotten password retrieval on the main login page at wp-login.php (ie not via link to wp-login.php?action=lostpassword). Im not very experienced with php so i tried simply copying the <form> used for password retrieval (that you would see at wp-login.pho?action=lostpassword) to just below the login form in the php file. The form does work and a password reset email is sent out. However, after submitting the 'check your email' message does not appear. And the page redirects to "http://www.mysite.com/wp/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysite.com%2Fwp%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1", rather than to "http://www.mysite.com/wp/wp-login.php?checkemail=confirm", as would normally happen on submitting the lost password form. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? ...and what changes i need to make to fix this?
Very many thanks in advance for any help.

Special to the Citizen
The Florida Public Service Commission has agreed with Duke Energy on how the utility will spend its decommissioning trust funds for the Crystal River area nuclear plant, known as CR3.
The money, an estimated $600 million, was collected from customers in the past. The fund was required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to cover the decommissioning process.
Duke wanted the PSC to reaffirm previous orders and approved its use of the funds to cover costs that fall under license termination, spent fuel management and site restoration.
That differs from the NRC system of having the full fund available for license termination.
Duke also wanted a declaration from the PSC affirming its position. PSC staff and the Office of Public Counsel supported Duke's request without the declaration.
At the PSC conference meeting Wednesday, Commissioner Eduardo Balbis asked whether Duke's retiring CR3 early to access the funds ahead of time would save customers money or cost more.
Duke attorney Dianne Triplett said it was too early to tell as they did not have a specific cost estimate yet but expected it by the end of the year.
Commissioner Lisa Polak Edgar supported Duke's position as a protection to ratepayers for funds already paid. The request passed unanimously without the declaration.
Duke spokesperson Sterling Ivey said the trust was adequately funded in the past so customers are not currently paying anything for decommissioning.
He said Duke is working on an updated decommissioning study.
If Duke determines additional money is necessary to adequately fund the decommissioning trust, the 2013 settlement agreement that is pending approval by the PSC contains provisions to recover those costs from customers.
Per the terms of the settlement, Duke is allowed to petition the commission for recovery of additional decommissioning funds through a base rate surcharge.
The amount that can be recovered through the base rate surcharge through December 2018 is capped at $8 million annually.

As part of his coverage launch for the U.S. service provider space, Canccord's Greg Miller is starting telco giants AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) at Hold (I, II). Miller likes AT&T's steady margins and subscriber growth, and also its huge dividend. However, he expects limited EPS growth, and thinks the collapse of the T-Mobile deal will compel AT&T to sell its rural access lines. As for Verizon, Miller thinks healthy wireless trends are offset by margin pressure and a steep valuation.

Griffin Silky Tank – Brandy Melville | Thrifted High Waist Boyfriend Denim – Gap | Leather Blush Slip On Sneakers – Vans | Oversized Sweater – Zara (Similar) | Round Sunglasses – Ray-Ban
As you already know I'm the all around lover of all things silky and lingerie inspired as of late. I picked up this Brandy Melville silky button down cropped tank as yet another testament to my absolute adornment of these kind of pieces. I really do think having basics with different textures, fits, etc, will really liven up your wardrobe without going "out of style" too quickly. In this case with the warm weather I stuck to a super casual look by pairing the tank with a choker (big surprise) and my thrifted Calvin Klein high waisted jeans. I always enjoy pairing tops that are somewhat slinky with large oversized cardigans to help balance everything out, plus it gives you absolute comfort because who wouldn't want to live in their favorite cozy sweater. Also throwing on my slip on vans always reminds me of high school and how comfortable things used to be (in that sense).

Vt. Natural Resources Council opposes F-35 proposalThe Associated Press | August 22,2013BURLINGTON - The Vermont Natural Resources Council says a proposal to base F-35 fighter jets at the Burlington International Airport will endanger housing and community growth.
The council has sent a letter to Burlington's mayor and City Council opposing the plan.
It says the supply of homes would diminish in the area if residents had to be relocated due to increased noise or safety concerns. It also says basing the F-35s at the airport would create less affordable housing.
The Air Force has identified the Vermont Air National Guard installation at the Burlington International Airport as the preferred candidate for up to 24 of the aircraft and is expected to make a final decision on the matter later this fall.MORE IN This Just InMore than 26,000 people were without power when severe thunderstorms rolled through the state in...

The 6-1, 200-pound wide receiver believes his 9-yard catch from Tommy Rees 2 minutes earlier was a better display of that. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy, File)
