(Habermannův mlýn)
Juraj Herz / CZ - D - A, 2010
Czech-German version, 104 min
The story of Habermann's Mill, based on actual events, unfolds in a small village in the Sudetenland between 1938, the year of the Munich Agreement, and 1945, when the war ends and the expulsion begins. Although this story took place over sixty years ago, its exigency has not diminished over time. If we want to understand the present, we need to know the past. This story shows one of the darkest chapters in Czech-German relations. The atrocities accompanying the expulsion remain a taboo subject today. Many Czechs would rather not see them recalled, many Germans hold the opinion that injustices were perpetrated that have never been redressed. Meanwhile, however, a new generation has been born with a strong need to clarify the past, and that is what this film is about.

Eres hermosa, tu es magnifique, you are gorgeous,
Natalie's Latest Growth Spurt
Featuring: Natalie Fiore
Date: August 23rd, 2011
Duration: 14:20
When it came time to plan the guest model list for this new Mexican hayride, Natalie Fiore's name was one of the first to be brought up. Prior to the planning stage of the trip, we learned that Natalie had once again experienced another spurt of tit-growth. Now her boobs are more massive than ever. They're huge! Compare and see. Will her breast expansion ever end? We hope it doesn't. "I don't know why they keep growing," says Natalie. "They just keep growing. I don't know why. Hormones? Maybe God wants me to have big boobs. They're still firm and straight without a bra." Micky Bells offers the suggestion that eating lots of chicken is the cause of Natalie's breast spurt.

Andre Villas-Boas says Tottenham winger Gareth Bale is 'fine' but is keeping quiet
Andre Villas-Boas has admitted he has not spoken to Gareth Bale - but also insisted the player's mental state is "fine".
Last Updated: 16/08/13 11:59am
Bale's future at White Hart Lane remains uncertain after Real Madrid launched a world record bid to sign the Wales international.
Last season's Footballer of the Year recently told Villas-Boas that he wants to join Real, but Spurs are determined to keep hold of the 24-year-old.
He will miss the opening game of the season against Crystal Palace on Sunday and Villas-Boas is unsure how the transfer speculation is affecting Bale.
"His mental state nobody knows because the player doesn't speak," Villas-Boas told reporters.
"The only thing that we are able to see, or you are able to see, is the player arriving in and out of the training ground."
However, the 35-year-old then appeared to back-track by saying: "It (Bale's mental state) is fine. It's fine."
Villas-Boas also reiterated the club's stance that Bale is not for sale, with just over a fortnight remaining of the transfer window.
He added: "We have explained to the clubs that have asked for him in various ways that the player is our player."
In addition to missing the game against Palace, Bale's foot injury is also likely to rule him out of Spurs' following two fixtures.
"Well at the moment, he hasn't been involved from the first friendly of the season (on July 15) so pre-season has gone by without him being involved so much," he continued.
"So for Palace, for Tbilisi, for Swansea, he will not be in line to threaten to come back."
Another subject Villas-Boas could not clear up was Tottenham's 'partnership agreement' with Real, which was struck up following Luka Modric's sale to the nine-time European champions.
The deal was supposed to herald a new era of co-operation between the two clubs.
"I am not aware (of what the agreement involves) because it is something that was involved with contracts between Tottenham and Real Madrid," Villas-Boas added.
"I am sure there was some kind of protocol agreement for youth levels, for players, I think the option on first loans. I am not sure. So it was agreed with the Modric deal."

Teams from Ten Leading International Business and Engineering Schools in Europe, Asia and Latin America Submitted Final Proposals
Mayor: Difficulty Teams Now Face Obtaining Visas and Launching Plans Highlights Need for Comprehensive Immigration Reform
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg today announced that the entrepreneur team from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras has been selected as the winner of NYC Next Idea 2009-2010, an inaugural global business plan competition launched by New York City last year. The team, Greenext Technology Solutions, devised a new system to allow utility companies and energy producers to store and distribute energy through remote sites across the five boroughs safely and efficiently, and was selected by a panel of judges from New York City's venture capital community to receive a $20,000 cash prize. The NYC Next Idea competition was announced in February 2009 as part of a suite of initiatives dedicated to strengthening New York City's entrepreneurial community. The competition was launched to raise the visibility of the City as an international center for innovation and entrepreneurship and showcase the talent from business and engineering schools around the world, while also encouraging innovative business ventures that can launch and operate here. The Mayor was joined at the announcement at Columbia Business School, which helped administer the competition, by Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Robert C. Lieber, New York City Economic Development Corporation President Seth W. Pinsky, Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs Commissioner Fatima Shama, Columbia University Senior Executive Vice President Robert Kasdin, Laura Resnikoff, director of the Columbia Business School Private Equity Program and the three finalist teams from India, Spain and France.
"Cities around the world hope to be a place of innovation where entrepreneurs want to go to launch businesses," said Mayor Bloomberg. "New York City doesn't have to hope – we are that place. Just look at the talented teams from the world's leading business and engineering schools that participated in our NYC Next Idea inaugural global business plan competition. But it's not enough to be a place entrepreneurs want to go; we also have to make sure our city – and our country – is a place they can go. That's why we are committed to working with the Obama Administration to pursue sensible immigration reform. No one can say for sure whether the finalists' ideas will translate into successful job-creating businesses. What a shame, though, if they and countless others are denied the opportunity even to try."
Fifteen leading business and engineering universities from countries across Asia, Latin America, and Europe signed up to participate in NYC Next Idea 2009-2010, and ten teams submitted final proposals. The three teams of finalists representing business and engineering schools in France, Spain, and India were in New York City this week to present their plans. Business plans targeted sectors such as Financial Services, Media & Technology, Green Technology and Bioscience, and included a new screening product for infectious diseases, a zero-emission bike-share program, and new telecom technology. In addition to the cash prize, the winning team will be offered free space within one of the City's new business incubators for two years.
"To continue to grow and innovate New York City must continue to attract the best and the brightest from around the globe," said Deputy Mayor Lieber. "NYC Next Idea helps us expand New York City's standing as a global center for innovation and entrepreneurship and bring leading business students to launch their firms here. By making it easier to get a business off the ground, and setting the stage for growth across a variety of sectors New York City will be better poised to capture growth and create jobs moving forward."
"A key to maintaining New York's status as the world's economic capital is ensuring that we continue to attract and retain talented entrepreneurs from around the globe," said New York City Economic Development Corporation President Pinsky. "To this end, we recently launched our new NYC Next Idea competition – a competition designed to bring the business leaders of tomorrow to the City, today. We are thrilled that this competition has been such a success in its inaugural year and are proud to add it to our growing list of offerings aimed at the entrepreneurial community, including programs providing access to much-needed start-up financing and inexpensive space, as well as training and networking opportunities."
The competition, administered by the New York City Economic Development Corporation and supported by Columbia Business School, was open to new, independent ventures in the conceptual, seed, start-up, or early growth stages, and business concepts that included the expansion of an existing venture into New York City. Criteria for judging the applications included commercial viability of the product or service; market analysis and a need for the product or service in New York City; comprehensiveness of the company's sales and marketing plan; the company's competitive differentiation over other players in the market; caliber of team members and advisors; financial analysis; and coherency of the final presentation.
"This competition is about discovering the next generation of business innovators in New York City, and we're grateful that the city's development leaders have turned to Columbia for support in that endeavor," said Laura Resnikoff, director of the Columbia Business School Private Equity Program and adviser to the New York City Economic Development Corporation's competition team.
The other finalists were Biofont from INSEAD Business School in Fontainebleau, France, and NYCycling from IESE Business School of the University of Navarra, Spain. The teams were judged in the final round by FirstMark Capital CEO and Managing Director Lawrence Lenihan, RRE Ventures General Partner Will D. Porteous, Greycroft LLC Partner Andrew B. Lipsher, Ascent Biomedical Ventures Partner Arthur Tinkelenberg, Ph.D, and NYCEDC Executive Vice President Steven Strauss, Ph.D. Columbia Business School alumni including W Capital Partners Vice President Eugene Song, Latin America Venture Capital Association Director of Strategy and Product Development Ariel Muslera, and Greenhill Capital Partners Vice President Somak Chattopadhyay judged the second round. NYCEDC released a Request for Proposals today to solicit a university partner for NYC Next Idea 2010-2011. Information on the RFP will be available at www.nycedc.com/RFP.
In the last year alone, the City has announced more 50 initiatives to address a wide range of obstacles faced by the small- and medium-size businesses throughout the five boroughs who are creating the building blocks of our new economy. These range from lowering taxes, to increasing capital availability, to starting training and networking programs, to providing opportunities to secure thousands of discounted work stations across the five boroughs.
Below are summaries of the finalist plans provided by the three teams:
With pandemic outbreaks of infections increasing in frequency, there is a clear need for screening tools to detect individuals with infectious diseases, especially in densely populated and highly interconnected urban areas such as New York City. BioFont is a biotechnology proposal that has developed a ground-breaking product that can be used to screen individuals for infectious diseases in an expeditious and accurate manner. Though methods exist to screen large numbers of people for potentially contagious illnesses, none are affordable, quick, or easily used without detailed training.
BioFont is taking advantage of the latest breakthroughs in biotechnology, and the major paradigm shift in the healthcare sector away from laboratory table-top blood analyzers to develop a product that is affordable, simple to use, and provides accurate and quick results. The product is a combination of a portable electronic analyzer and disposable test strips, which process and display results in a simple yes/no format. Beyond the healthcare sector, BioFont envisages a demand for this product in New York City's schools, airports, public places, households, and workplaces.
NYCycling is an innovative zero-emission bike-share program designed to transport users from one destination to the next within New York City. This new, clean and healthy transportation alternative is composed of a system of self-service stations at which users can rent bicycles, ride them to their destination, and return them to the nearest station. The program offers a creative solution that alleviates transportation bottlenecks and utilizes the existing infrastructure in New York City's current transportation system – over 600 miles of bike paths traversing the metropolis.
Learning from established bike-share programs, NYCycling aims to offer a high service level for a responsible price to cyclists in New York City. Through partnerships with corporations, non-profits, and law enforcements, NYCycling also aims to become a successful and publicly appreciated alternative form of local transportation.
Greenext Technology Solutions is clean-technology proposal that is pioneering specialized software and hardware solutions to utility companies, renewable energy producers, energy storage manufacturers, and energy traders. Their product, XEstor, serves as a common interface to store energy from any source across New York City into large battery storage sites. The product communicates with the electric grid and combines real-time consumer demand information with current energy prices to charge or discharge electricity into the grid. This flexible mechanism to produce or store energy based on demand can act as a backup power source to bridge supply gaps and maintain the grid's reliability through ancillary services such as regulation and emergency response.
The Greenext Technology Solutions team strongly believes that today's challenges in the energy sector can be addressed through clean-technology solutions such as smart grids that hold the potential to meet growing energy demands. Greenext Technology Solutions team is convinced that with energy demand continuing to rise rapidly on the one hand and both energy availability and supply efficiency struggling to meet it on the other, financial incentives and deregulation of electricity markets will make their solution a highly viable one in the future. And New York City is a prime locale for such technology because of its burgeoning population and energy needs, as well as an electric grid in need of innovative upgrades.

Top two out as playoffs throw up surprises
William Hill were celebrating a fantastic NFL weekend as New England and Atlanta, the two favourites, were eliminated from the competition.
The Patriots were Hill's 7/4 favourites for the Super Bowl, while Atlanta were 11/2. The original favourites for the Super Bowl, Green Bay, have been reinstated as the 13/8 favourites, while Pittsburgh are 9/4.
"The top two seeds have been unceremoniously dumped out of the postseason and that has proved to be a real boon for bookies. We have won a large five figure sum from the results this weekend and that is in keeping with the unpredictability of the season as a whole," said Hill's spokesman Joe Crilly.
William Hill NFL Odds:
Super Bowl Outright: 13/8 Green Bay Packers; 9/4 Pittsburgh Steelers; 7/2 New York Jets; 4/1 Chicago Bears
Conference Games:
NFC: 10/17 Green Bay Packers; 6/4 Chicago Bears
AFC: 8/5 New York Jets; 5/9 Pittsburgh Steelers

Research Connecting Organ Damage with Blood Sugar Level
The studies you will read below, some of which are not cited in the AACE guidelines, make a cogent case that post-meal blood sugars of 140 mg/dl (7.8 mmol/L) and higher and fasting blood sugars over 100 mg/dl (5.6 mmol/L) when found in association with those higher than normal post-meal blood sugars, cause both permanent organ damage and the worsening of diabetes. Some of this data also suggests that maintaining an A1c of 5.7% to 6% is much safer for people with diabetes who wish to avoid developng diabetic complications.
NOTE: All blood sugar levels discussed on these pages refer to plasma calibrated meter readings, which are the ones today's meters use.
It is important to note that this study also showed that only the glucose tolerance test results corresponded to the incidence of neuropathy in these patients, not their fasting blood sugar levels or their results on the HbA1c test This is significant because most American doctors do not offer their patients glucose tolerance tests, only the fasting glucose and HbA1c tests that fail to diagnose these obviously damaging post-meal blood sugars.Increased prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance in patients with painful sensory neuropathy. Singleton, JR Smith AG, Bromberg, MB Diabetes Care 24 (8) 1448-1453 2001.A second study performed by neurologists at Johns Hopkins confirmed these findings. Fifty-six percent of their patients who had neuropathy of unknown origin were found to have abnormal results on their oral glucose tolerance tests. When nerve conduction studies were run, doctors sorted their patients into those whose glucose tolerance test results were normal, those whose 2-hour glucose tolerance test readings fell between 140 mg/dl and 200 mg/dl (7.8 mmol/L and 11.1 mmol/L), who were diagnosed with impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), and those diagnosed with diabetes because their two hour test results were over 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/L)
They found that patients who had impaired glucose tolerance had experienced damage to their small nerve fibers, while those with diabetic-level test results had more involvement of the large nerve fibers.

Polydefkis, MD; Neurology 2003;60:108-111.Yet another study, conducted at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ and published in August 2006 confirmed these results. In addition this study documented that the fasting plasma glucose test identified only half as many people with abnormal blood sugars as did the glucose tolerance test.

Arch Neurol. 2006;63:1075-1079.
Another study published in 2008 which analyzed data from the MONICA/KORA study of a large population in the city of Augsburg, Germany, cast more light on how blood sugar levels relate to neuropathy. The researchers in this study gave glucose tolerance tests to the a group "normal people" selected from a non-diabetic control group. They found that 23.2% of these "normal" people had Impaired Glucose Tolerance and 35.9%)had Impaired Fasting Glucose. Only 41% had truly normal blood sugars even when using the very lax ADA diagnostic criteria. In the study population as a whole (normal and diabetic combined) neuropathy was found in:28.0% in the diabetic subjects 13.0% in those with Impaired Glucose Tolerance (defined as 2 hr glucose tolerance test results greater or equal to 140 mg/dl (7.8 mmol/L) 11.3% in those with IFG (Fasting glucose > 100 mg/dl (5.6 mmol/L)) 7.4% in those with Normal Glucose Tolerance (2 hr OGTT < 140 mg/dl (7.8 mmol/L).This study also found that having peripheral artery disease (PAD) added to the likelihood of a person with diabetes developing neuropathy

NOTE: It is important to keep in mind that the readings people get on glucose tolerance tests may be lower at two hours after consuming the glucose than the readings they get while eating meals containing carbohydrates that require digestion. The speedy absorption of the glucose that occurs during a glucose tolerance test often causes reactive hypoglycemia in people with prediabetes, giving them what look like normal numbers. But in daily life they may be experiencing blood sugars well above normal for an hour or two after slower-digesting meals. Unless you live on a diet of pure glucose, this is an important finding. Because it is the number of hours your nerves spend exposed to high blood sugars that appears to damage them.
Sadly, there are no studies where subjects with neuropathy were given meal tests rather than the highly artificial oral glucose tolerance test. However, anecdotal reports from people with neuropathy who have lowered their post meal blood sugars suggest that keeping blood sugars under 140 mg/dl (7.8 mmol/L) at one hour after eating meals can slowly reverse neuropathy.
Unfortunately, since most doctors are not aware that it is possible reverse neuropathy by lowering blood sugars to normal levels or believe it is impossible for people with diabetes to lower their blood sugars to normal levels at all, few doctors suggest that patients with neuropathy treat it by striving to achieve normal blood sugars. Instead, they prescribe the very dangerous brain drugs, gabapenin (Neurontin) and pregabalin (Lyrica) which may relieve neurological pain to some extent but don't in any way heal damaged nerves. These drugs can have devastating side effects, so before you try one, try lowering your blood sugars to normal levels for a few months. You can learn how to do that HERE

Analyzing their data further, they found that with every small increase in the 2-hour glucose tolerance test result, there was a corresponding increase in how much beta cell failure was detectable.
Beta-cell dysfunction and glucose intolerance: results from the San Antonio metabolism (SAM) study. Gastaldelli A; Ferrannini E; Miyazaki Y; Matsuda M; De Fronzo RA;Diabetologia 2004 Jan;47(1):31-9
Since the American Diabetes Association believes that a fasting blood sugar level of 100 mg/dl to 125 mg/dl corresponds to a 2-hour glucose tolerance levels of 140 mg/dl to 199 mg/dl, this suggests that patients whose post-meal blood sugars rise only to the prediabetic level may be well on the way to losing as much as 40% of their beta cell mass.
However, it is important to remember that this study only measured fasting blood sugar. But when we look at the relationship of blood sugar and organ damage what we usually find is that it isn't the fasting blood sugars that are doing the damage when they are under that important 140 mg/dl level.
The reason slightly elevated fasting blood sugars correlate with beta cell dysfunction and/or destruction is almost certainly that people with slightly elevated fasting blood sugars who eat high carbohydrate meals are experiencing high, and often long lasting, blood sugar spikes after each meal they eat. A 210 lb person whose fasting blood sugar is 110 needs to eat only 12 grams of carbohydrate to raise their blood sugar to 150, and most of them are likely to be eating 50 to 60 grams of carbohydrate per meal, ensuring that their blood sugars are well over 150 for several hours after each meal.
It is almost certainly those high post meal readings that go along with elevated fasting levels that cause the glucose toxicity that damages organs and causes complications.
This conclusion is backed up by the experience of those of us with diabetes who have kept our post-meal blood sugars under 140 mg/dl after meals for a decade or more. We generally find that our diabetes does not progress and that we do not develop the classic diabetic complications.Beta-cell deficit and increased beta-cell apoptosis in humans with type 2 diabetes.

In a second experiment, the same researchers took cells damaged by exposure to high blood sugars and moved them to media that had a lower concentration of blood sugar. They found the cells could survive and recover after being moved to a growth medium containing a much lower concentration of glucose, but only if the switch was made before a certain amount of time had passed (unfortunately, the time was not specified in hours or days.) Once the cells had been exposed to glucose for that fatal time period, they could no longer be revived.
In an email to me, R. Paul Robertson, one of authors of this study wrote, "I think the glucose toxic effects begin when blood glucose gets above 140 and probably earlier." However, he also explained that while studies with diabetic rats could better quantify the blood sugar levels at which this irreversible damage occurs, these rats cost $200 apiece and a lot of rats would be required. So such a project is not planned for any time soon."

Elevated 1hPG [one hour plasma glucose] in NGT [people with normal glucose tolerance] and pre-DM [prediabetic] subjects is associated to subclinical inflammation, high lipid ratios and insulin resistance. Therefore, 1hPG >155 mg/dl could be considered a new 'marker' for cardiovascular risk.
A1c and Post-Meal Blood Sugars Predict Heart Attack
Over three years of subsequent follow-up of 302 DPP participants, 13% of prediabetics who developed type 2 disease were found to have diabetic retinopathy, and nearly 8% of "prediabetics" also were found to have diabetic retinopathy, though they never developed diabetes per diagnostic criteria.
This finding would suggest that prolonged exposure to post-challenge blood sugars over 150 mg/dl are highly dangerous to your retina, with or without a diabetes diagnosis, but even more so with a type 2 diabetes diagnosis.
ADA Press Release: Diabetic Retinopathy Occurs in Pre-Diabetes.
Even more worrisome is the meta analysis published by Tien Y. Wong, that found that "More than 60% of retinopathy cases were among patients with fasting plasma glucose levels below 7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dL). This review of many published studies found that the three studies [with over 11,000 participants] together, 7.4% to 13.4% of participants had retinopathy at fasting glucose levels below 5.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL). These were undoubtedly those who like many people with prediabetes only experience prediabetic blood sugars after eating. Relation between fasting glucose and retinopathy for diagnosis of diabetes: three population-based cross-sectional studies Wong TY, et al Lancet 2008; 371: 736-743. That means something like one in ten people who were most likely to have only abnormalities of post-meal blood sugars, since the most common pattern of developing diabetes is for fasting blood sugars to remain near normal for years while post-meal blood sugars rise into the prediabetic and even diabetic range. You can read more about patterns in which diabetes develops on this page on this web site: The Patterns in which Diabetes DevelopsFurther confirmation that diabetic retinopathy occurs at blood sugar levels well below those defined as "diabetic" by the Amerian Diabetes Association was provided by an analysis of 2005-2006 NHANES data which was published in October 2009. This study looked at 1,066 individuals with or without diabetes aged 40 years or more. "A1C, FPG, and 45° color digital retinal images were assessed."This study found a prevalence of retinopathy of 11% in the whole group and 36% in those with diabetes diagnoses. Most significantly, this study found that:
The steepest increase in retinopathy prevalence occurs among individuals with A1C equal to or greater than 5.5% and FPG equal to or greater than 5.8 mmol/l [104 mg/dl]. A1C discriminates prevalence of retinopathy better than FPG.
A narrow threshold range for diabetes-specific retinopathy was identified for FPG and HbA1c but not for 2-h PG. The combined analyses suggest that the current diabetes diagnostic level for FPG could be lowered to 6.5 mmol/L [117 mg/dl] and that an HbA1c of 6.5% is a suitable alternative diagnostic criterion.
glycemic thresholds for diabetes-specific retinopathy were observed over the range 6.4-6.8 mmol/L [115 - 122 mg/dl] for F[asting]P[lasma]G[lucose] 9.8-10.6 mmol/L [176.4 - 191 mg/dl] for 2-h PG, and 6.3-6.7% for HbA1c.
The French DESIR study of people diagnosed with pre-diabetes confirmed what the studies cited above have found. Subjects who developed retinopathy over a 9 year period had an average fasting blood sugar of 130 mg/dl and an average A1c of 6.4%. Those who did not develop retinopathy over this period had an average fasting blood sugar of 108 mg/dl and an average A1c of 5.7%.

These results support the recommendation for postprandial monitoring of glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus and imply that important differences in end organ damage could occur in individuals with similar HbA1c but different postprandial glucose levels.
Risk of CKD was higher in individuals with albuminuria [protein in urine at start of study] and retinopathy, and the association between HbA1c concentration and incident CKD was observed even in participants without either abnormality.
A 1 mmol/l [18 mg/dl] increase in blood glucose after this point was associated with a 27% increase in risk of death from stroke. .. This increase in risk was partially attenuated by adjustment for covariates but remained statistically significant at conventional levels.
However, since those "other" health issues may be heart disease and high blood pressure which may be caused by high blood sugars, this is still a very important finding.
Note also that the GTT in this study used only 50 grams, not the 75 g that has become standard over the last several decades. So subjects with high readings in this study would have probably seen even higher readings on a standard glucose tolerance test. However, it is possible that their results were more similar to what would be seen in the more accurate meal test.

NBA and NFL 2011 Lockouts: Steroids, PED's and Juicing OpportunitiesNovember 15, 2011
The NBA and NFL lockouts have provided carte blanche for professional athletes to indulge in performance enhancing drugs, and why shouldn't they? Essentially, in addition to each sport's lockout prohibiting interaction between the player and their respective organizations, this also applies to the administering of drug tests.
This creates a fecund period for players' growth...literally.
Furthermore, even if any player tested positive for a banned substance after their lockout was lifted, it would be impossible to prove when the substance was taken. Howard Jacobs, a defense attorney specializing in doping cases, validates this reasoning, stating that you "can't just retroactively apply a drug policy."
Thus, the question remains: why wouldn't a professional athlete exploit this amnesty-loophole?
The NFL lockout lasted 136 days. So, for example, most pro-hormone cycles—which, among other things, can vastly increase one's strength, speed and overall explosiveness—last for approximately 45 days. Then, the subsequent Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) typically continues for 30 more days, normalizing any resulting spikes in testosterone/estrogen/cortisol levels while allowing the user to retain the majority of his somatic gains.
This abstruse nomenclature can perhaps be better understood through a pop culture lens: Remember the denouement of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, when Shredder quaffed the whole vial of TGRI ooze and put Ronnie from Jersey Shore to shame? Or, when 50 Cent went shirtless in his "Candyshop" video? Vitamin Water does not do that to you.
My point is this: the NBA lockout just reached its 137th day, more than enough time to complete two of these antaean processes.

Thom Sherman
Executive VP of Drama Development, The CW
Executive VP of Drama Development, The CW
Thom Sherman knows a thing or two about reversing the luck of a flailing network. In 2004, as head of drama development at ABC, he played a key part in developing Lost and Desperate Housewives.
Today, as executive VP of drama development at The CW, Sherman has developed a bona fide hit in Gossip Girl and considerable buzz for newcomer dramas like Melrose Place and Ashton Kutcher's The Beautiful Life. Not bad for a network some were recently calling dead in the water.
"Having done this 13, 14 years, you just gain a skill set that comes naturally over the course of time," Sherman says. "90% of my job is picking the right horse and the right jockey. Saying yes to the right people is really the smartest thing I've ever done."
Sherman's acumen comes not only from his time as a programming executive but also from his work at Bad Robot, J.J. Abrams' production company, where he served as president from 2004 to 2006.
At Bad Robot, Sherman saw life from inside the writers' room. "[I learned] if it seems like it's just not working, even if there's a deadline looming, it's better to blow things up and get them right rather than go down a path that you know instinctually isn't going to get results," he says.
And recently Sherman's network has been buoyed by results. The success of America's Next Top Model and Gossip Girl, and their appeal in the female 18-34 demographic, have the network feeling good. At The CW's upfront presentation in New York last month, President Dawn Ostroff proclaimed the fall programming slate to be "the strongest development season ever and the most cohesive lineup we've ever had."
Sherman is hoping to build on the success of Top Model by following it on Wednesday nights with The Beautiful Life, about young models in New York City. The network is also rolling out Vampire Diaries and Parental Discretion Advised, which Sherman calls "Juno-meets-Gilmore Girls-meets-Knocked Up."
"What our audience really responds to most is verisimilitude. They want to see a world that feels real," Sherman says.
And like any good programming executive, he is keenly tuned in to that audience: "I've learned more about women's fashions in the last two years than I'd care to admit to anyone."—David Tanklefsky

About five months after Audi confirmed that the TT RS Coupe would be coming to America, the hottest version of the sporty 2+2 finally made its debut at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show. Somewhat curiously, however, it did so without any fanfare, with Audi quietly placing it near an R8 Spyder at its stand with nary a mention of the car's special nature other than the glass barrier that surrounds it.Like the European-spec car, the U.S.-spec TT RS will be powered by a 2.5-liter I-5 that makes 335 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque mated to a six-speed manual transmission and Audi's famous quattro all-wheel drive system. Audi says that the car weighs about 3200 pounds and can sprint from 0-62 mph in 4.6 seconds.The TT RS goes on sale in the third quarter of this year, with pricing and options to be announced at a later date. Don't hold your breath for the arrival of the TT RS Roadster, as the arrival of the Coupe on the west side of the Atlantic is almost a miracle itself.

Lump charcoal is a favorite among many grillers because it is quick to light, burns hot and fast, and is as close to natural charcoal as you can get. Made from hardwood that has been burned without oxygen, it has no fillers or additives. "I recommend lump charcoal. It burns hot and has no chemical additives like the compressed briquettes. Food tastes even better than with briquettes," says longtime griller Tripp Frohlichstein.
Lump charcoal can be costly, however, and you may need more since it burns off so quickly. Chris Pilko of icookwithfire.com says that briquettes are a fine alternative. "I've used lump charcoal in the past, and it isn't worth the extra cost and shorter burn time. I use Kingsford briquettes now," he says. "In fact, the food geeks at Cook's Illustrated did a study on different types of charcoal a few years ago and found that briquettes burned as hot as lump charcoal and stayed hot longer. They also cost less."
Real hardwood is another option, although it can be more challenging to use. Chef Jill Houk of Centered Chef Food Studios says that hardwood creates an even, long-burning fire. "At work or when camping, I just get a cord of wood. Make sure you don't buy the 'quick start' variety of charcoal. These are coated in lighter fluid," says Houk.
Indeed, Houk isn't kidding about avoiding lighter fluid. Although it's the stuff many people grew up on, it's now known to be very, very bad for your health. "Lighter fluid contains hydrocarbons, [which are] known carcinogens," says Lynne Eldridge MD, author of Avoiding Cancer One Day At A Time: Practical Advice for Preventing Cancer. "I often recommend using a fire chimney or an electric starter. Fire chimneys are inexpensive and available online. For those who feel the crunch of the economy (like me), taking an old metal coffee container and cutting off the top and bottom can work as well. The coals can be placed over plain paper (without ink that may contain carcinogens) and lighted,"
Fire chimney starters are easy-to-use contraptions that look like black flour sifters. You place charcoal in the top and light it from the bottom. Once the flames die down, you pour out the charcoal (careful, it will be hot!) in the grill and get cooking.
If you want to forego the extra gadget, you can start the fire by creating a pyramid of charcoal and using a firestarter to get it going, says Houk, who also suggests that setting up sticks teepee-style with space at the bottom for air to circulate. Houk recommends several types of firestarters. "There are firestarters called 'fatwood,' which is natural wood that is embedded with natural oils so that it starts quickly. You can use paper (I like to use office paper that I'm recycling anyway) rolled into scrolls. Or you can make your own fire starter. Just take a used egg carton and fill each cup with a 50/50 mixture of paraffin or candle wax and sawdust. Place your firestarter in the bottom of your pyramid and light. Fan the fire to keep it going," says Houk. Once the fire is established, add more charcoal or wood, let the fire burn down a bit, and then spread it out.

S/O Body hair on others?
The other thread got me thinking... Depending on how you feel about hair on yourself, how do you feel about body hair on your partner?
My DH, thanks to his Korean genes, has very little body hair. He couldn't even grow a full mustache or beard if he tried, no chest or back hair, minimal arm and leg hair, etc. He's got a bit of hair downstairs, but keeps it trimmed up. Just the way I like it. ;)
Re: S/O Body hair on others?
dh has a little bit but it's super soft.
my ex had a little bit too but his was very course and i didnt like it. i would not want to be with someone super hairy. i once dated a guy who had a very hair back and he wanted me to give him a back rub :yuck: i told him only with the shirt on
My DH's nickname is Sasquatch! He actually has to shave the chest/back hair down because it holds sweat in his shirt and under his bulletproof vest at work. I joked with him last month because his hair razor broke and he found and used our spare pet hair electric razor! It doesn't bug me, but he likes to keep it shaved down anyway.... I guess i haven't ever given it any thought. He shaves his head too.
It's soft hair though, not coarse.
Re: S/O Body hair on others?
Re: S/O Body hair on others?
I like body hair on men..wouldn't mind if SO had more :blush: (but he's a redhead so that makes up for it :giggle: ).
Re: S/O Body hair on others?
DH is hairy as all get out. He finds it a bit embarrassing, which breaks my heart. He shaves his back (well, I shave it) and trims his pubes.
I couldn't care either way.
ETA: a ex gf of mine used to get bikini waxes. I HATED that, but I never told her. I was jealous of her hairless legs though.
Re: S/O Body hair on others?
I would be mortified if I found DH talking about my hairy bits/what I use to remove it, on a public forum.
Re: S/O Body hair on others?
My DH has a hairy chest and I LOVE it.

I'm going to a wedding this Saturday and would like to have my makeup done by someone since I've never been particularly skilled in that area. I know some of the salons offer makeup applications, but they can also be kind of pricey. I'm thinking about trying out one of the cosmetics counters at Macys, but have no idea where to start looking.
Any suggestions (Macys or otherwise)?
Where can I get my makeup done for cheap?

Macy's in Colonie Center – I'd hit up the MAC or Chanel counter. Basically, look around and see which counter clerk's makeup you like best. I'd also suggest purchasing the lip color and eye color they use on you, at least. That way, you're not looking like a freeloader, and you'll also get products that look good on you, to wear again.
If you get your makeup done at the MAC counter you have to buy $50 worth of products. But, it's high quality product and totally worth the money.
The Clinque counter at Macy's in Colonie Center will do your makeup for free, you just need to call and make an appointment. They do not require you to make a purchase.
Call Carlene's on Old Loudon Road. I am not sure what they charge but I hear they do a fabulous job.
The makeup counters at Boscov's in Colonic Center will also do free makeup and you can make an appointment in advance.
oops that's Colonie Center — too quick on the trigger
The Bobby Brown (Macy's) makeup ladies are great and there's no pressure to buy, although I do agree with Amanda, purchase something.
Have fun!
Dear god, whatever you do, do not go to the Bobby Brown makeup counter in Colonic Center. You will leave with a black eye and a sore bum.
Leigh, oh I get it – hee hee :) Hey, are Bobby and Chris related – I wonder….
"Colonic Center" HAHAHHAHA Amy, that was a real LOL
I 100% suggest going to Colonie Center Macys–Chanel counter. The ladies are wonderful and have a lot of experience (preferably the woman with short blonde hair)
Macy's is the best place to go. Be kind enough to buy something. I'm sure you'll be able to use it anyway.
If Macy's doesn't work check out Sephora, they have a ton of different makeup lines and seem to be pretty accomodating.
Okay, sorry to come in late on this one. I'm not sure what the reader considers expensive.. for I got my make up done this past Saturday for my bachelorette party, at a place in Ballston Spa, called Make me Fabulous. I absolutely loved it.. they are fantastic there.

Rate rises on the agenda for Gilgandra residents
The Gilgandra Shire Council says it intends to apply for further increases to rates in the next financial year.
The council's previous application for a 50 per cent rate rise over a seven year period was turned down by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART).
However, a three-point two per cent special rate variation was approved for 2012-13.
The state's councils have until December to register their intent to apply for rate rises in the next financial year with IPART.
The Gilgandra Shire Council says it has not abandoned plans to increase rates by 50 per cent.
The general manager Paul Mann says while the council hasn't determined how much it will ask for, its financial situation remains largely unchanged.
"If council is to continue to meet the aims set out in its planning from last term, we'd be certainly looking to increase our rate base up around that figure," he said.
Mr Mann says the council has started the necessary planning for its application.
"Because of the election of the new council all of our planning and long term financial plans are all being reviewed and within the scope of the integrated planning with a view to having them in place by budget time next year.
"However, IPART have also indicated that we don't need to go right through that by the date of making an application."
A final decision on whether it will go ahead with the application to IPART will be made early next year.

1. Georgia Tech's bowl trip begins Tuesday.
After reconvening Monday, the Yellow Jackets are scheduled for a Tuesday morning practice on campus and then a flight down to Jacksonville, Fla., for their week-long stay for the TaxSlayer Bowl matchup against Kentucky.
Tech will stay at a resort on Amelia Island, Fla., about 30 miles north of Jacksonville. Kentucky is staying at a resort in nearby Ponte Vedra Beach. The Wildcats arrived on Sunday.
The Jackets will practice Wednesday and Thursday at Fernandina Beach High and also have two local visits planned, to a nearby Top Golf Wednesday and Thursday to the Naval Station Mayport in Jacksonville.
2. Tech's most recent visitor to Jacksonville's EverBank Field? That is probably cornerback Step Durham. Last year, with the Yellow Jackets stuck at home after going 3-9, the Jacksonville resident went to last year's TaxSlayer Bowl with his father, also Step. The participants – Penn State and … Georgia. (The Bulldogs won 24-17.)
"He said, 'Man, I'd do anything to not be sitting in these stands. I'd rather be playing,'" said Durham's father Step Durham III.
The elder Durham said he recently reminded his son of his 12-month-old wish.
Durham is one of four Tech players who played their high-school ball in Jacksonville – cornerback Lamont Simmons, defensive end Antonio Simmons and linebacker Victor Alexander are the others. Durham's father said it's his son's childhood dream come true to play at the home of the NFL's Jaguars.
The Durhams had Jaguars season tickets before Step IV's recruitment began to take them out of town on weekends.
For more on how Tech has had success in recruiting Jacksonville, read this story on Tech A-backs coach Lamar Owens .
3. Tech cornerbacks Lance and Lawrence Austin will try to carry the momentum of their strong finish to Jacksonville. The twins won ACC defensive back of the week for the final three weeks of the season, Lance twice and Lawrence once.
"They do feed off each other. They are very competitive with each other," defensive coordinator Ted Roof said. "They had a pretty good streak going there (with the defensive awards). I texted their dad a message: 'Can you guys have another kid?'"
Read Steve Hummer's story on the Austin twins here .
4. When Tech arrives at its team hotel Tuesday, a select group of Jackets were scheduled to be made available for interviews –coach Paul Johnson, one or two Jacksonville natives and offensive lineman Eason Fromayan.
Why Fromayan?
He has made a bit of a name for himself since news broke that he will forego his final year of eligibility to try to join a NASCAR pit crew. Fromayan has been interviewed on ESPN's SportsCenter, got a short mention on the network's Outside the Lines program and was written up on the NASCAR website .
You can read the myajc story here .
5. As part of their gift package for playing in the TaxSlayer Bowl, the Jackets will receive Oakley sunglasses, a white-paneled football for autographs, a carry-on suitcase and something that no one else at any other bowl game will receive - their own personalized bobblehead doll .
"That'd be pretty cool," Tech center Freddie Burden said. "I'm going to put it up in my room somewhere and look at myself all day."

I have a problem in deceiding what colour shirt should Paul wear under his baby blue linen suit?
I would like to find a hot pink one.What do you think? Our colours are hot pink and turquoise.Im wearing hot pink platforms ive ordered him a buttonhole in hot pink florist wire in the shape of a starfish.My flowers are white orchids.
I bought him a floral shirt which didnt work at all and from that i figured he needed a more tailored shirt.I dont think white linen is heavy enough.
If im honest hes a very casual dresser happiest in jeans and t shirt.When i put the white linen underneath it looks flat.
Now honestly girls if i can get him in it AFTER ive found it do you think t will work?

Have you considered a white tailored shirt and then adding the pink with a boutonniere for a little more color. If I am imagining correctly, baby blue and hot pink seem a bit much (but I am not very good at visualization- I need to see it I guess!)
yay. . . we're gradu-umtaded!!!
Posted 23 February 2010 - 02:41 AM
Hi there! I agree with LynnieS, I would wear a white shirt and add an accent of hot pink.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
Posted 23 February 2010 - 02:50 AM
I agree with the girls....accent with pink. Boutonniere - white flower with hot pink ribbon....or maybe a hot pink tie? But hot pink shirt may attract too much attention. Good luck.

One thing I have learned is that in 99% of the cases the other company
is not the cause.. or "Do not blame to malice of your competitor when
there are 4 billion teenagers who think doing this sort of prank is
fun, interesting, cool, etc."
I can't get it to happen at this time from my area.. so I really don't
know what is going on.

Cast: Annis Heads Conways, Toby Jones Does Good
Editorial Staff • West End • 25 Nov 2008
Annis was seen in the West End earlier this year, along with Catherine Tate, in David Eldridge's Under the Blue Sky. Her other myriad stage credits include Epitaph for George Dillon, Blood, Shoreditch Madonna, Henry IV, The Vortex, Ghosts, Mrs Klein and the Hackney Hamlet with Ralph Fiennes. She's recently been seen on screen in Cranford.
The first Priestley play revived at the NT since Stephen Daldry's multi award-winning 1992 production of An Inspector Calls, Time and the Conways centres on another seemingly golden family and, from the perspective of daughter Kay's 21st birthday in 1919, shuttles into their future and back again to see where the seeds of their downfall were planted. Also confirmed for the cast is Adrian Scarborough.
Since winning a hat trick of Best Director awards for last year's Patrick Stewart-led Macbeth, Goold has remained busy with productions including Six Characters in Search of an Author, No Man's Land and the upcoming Oliver! in the West End.

Judge: CAINAT&T sued the Commissioner of Revenue of Tennessee to recover sales tax paid on central office equipment for the years 1995 and 1996 asserting that the equipment qualifies for exemption as industrial machinery. Determining that the outcome of the case was controlled by AT&T v. Johnson, 2002 WL 3124708 (Tenn.Ct.App.2002), the Chancellor held that the industrial machinery exemption was not applicable. We affirm the judgment of the Chancellor. http://www.tba.org/tba_files/TCA/2005/att102405.pdf IN RE ESTATE OF JOSEPH OWEN BOOTE, JR. Court: TCAAttorneys:Andree Sophia Blumstein and William L. Harbison, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellees, Helen Boote Shivers and Linda Boote Gerritsen. Walter W. Bussart and Lee Bussart Bowles, Lewisburg, Tennessee, for the appellant, Martha M. Boote.Judge: KOCHThis appeal involves a dispute stemming from an effort to probate a will and two codicils in solemn form. The testatorâs widow filed a petition to probate these instruments in solemn form in the Chancery Court for Marshall County. Prior to the entry of an order admitting the will and two codicils to probate, the widow discovered that a third codicil she believed to have been destroyed had, in fact, not been destroyed by her late husband or in his presence and that her late husbandâs lawyer had made a copy of this codicil before destroying it himself. Accordingly, she filed a petition for declaratory judgment seeking to admit the third codicil to the probate in solemn form along with the will and the other two codicils. Thereafter, the trial court entered an order admitting the will and the first two codicils to probate in solemn form without mentioning the declaratory judgment petition. The testatorâs daughters moved to dismiss the declaratory judgment petition, and the testatorâs widow filed a motion for postjudgment relief from the order admitting the will and the first two codicils to probate in solemn form. Following a series of hearings, the trial court dismissed the declaratory judgment petition and denied the motion for post-judgment relief. The testatorâs widow appealed. We have determined that the order admitting the will and the first two codicils must be vacated and the case remanded for further proceedings regarding the third codicil. http://www.tba.org/tba_files/TCA/2005/bootej102405.pdf MARTHA M.

Walter W. Bussart and Lee Bussart Bowles, Lewisburg, Tennessee, for the appellee, Martha M. Boote.Judge: KOCHThis appeal involves a challenge to an antenuptial agreement. Following the death of her husband, the decedentâs wife filed a petition in the Chancery Court for Marshall County to have her husbandâs will and two codicils admitted to probate in solemn form. She later discovered that a third codicil that would have dramatically increased her share of the estate had not been properly revoked. When the trial court rebuffed her efforts to have the third codicil admitted to probate, she filed a petition to dissent from the will and to seek an elective share of the estate and one yearâs support. The decedentâs daughters opposed the petitions based on an antenuptial agreement the wife had entered into with the decedent, and the wife challenged the enforceability of the antenuptial agreement. Following a bench trial, the court set aside the antenuptial agreement after finding that the decedentâs wife did not enter into the agreement knowledgeably and without duress. The decedentâs daughters appealed. We have determined that the antenuptial agreement is enforceable. http://www.tba.org/tba_files/TCA/2005/bootem102405.pdf GEORGE R. CALDWELL, JR., ET UX. v.

More new stuff on the web for us patient-types -- wow, there's a lot of them!
* Last week over at Diabetes Daily, Elizabeth and David launched DailyHealth.net -- a new "health community covering chronic conditions, dieting, parenting, dating & marriage, yoga," and a whole lot more. Interestingly, the site will include some free promotional opportunities for doctors and other health professionals. If you'd like to promote your practice, go on over there and contact the organizers.
* DiabetesFriends.net, a new "Facebook-like" social networking space for diabetics, described so well by Kerri HERE.
* HealthLat.com -- this is very cool! It's an independent consumer-driven patient safety report program for all sorts of drugs. Finally, a place where you can easily check other people's experiences, and report your own. "A highlight of the tool is people with multiple complications can get answers for highly personalized questions like this: 'How effective is Exubera for a woman around 55-64, 110 lb, who has GERD, is allergic to tree pollen, and is having a saddle nose now?'" Check it out.
* Vitals.com -- a new online doctor evaluation service that will proposes to "streamline consumers' search for 'Doctor Right' to a matter of minutes." For the first time ever, patients will have access to a unified, comprehensive database "containing all the crucial information needed to make an educated decision when choosing a health care provider."
I like the clear & easy interface. I tried searching for endos in a town near me, and it worked extremely well. According to the press release, Vitals provides "close to 100 million data points on more than 720,000 active U.S. doctors... available at no cost to the user." Not bad at all.
* Zume Life -- a site focused on helping individuals with their health self-care activities. They're developing a funky product/service (pictured), which is still in the prototype stage, but you can read a little about it or volunteer to be a beta tester here.
Basically they're hoping to help people:

International Report: Indians are active signing six players
The International Signing Period is one of the times I get the most questions. The reason for this is it is a confusing system and the penalties seem to be a non-factor to most teams. I mean the Yankees spent $18 million on Wednesday, which would have been 25% of the total spending of last year just by the Yankees.
So the way the International period works is teams are given different pool amounts. The teams are given the largest pool based on reverse record of the year before. It's basically setup just like the draft, but without any form of compensation picks. The Indians this year have $1,980,700 to spend and that total is broken down into four slots which can be traded. Teams often do trade these slots and it is another asset for teams. This is also great for teams who went way over the pool the year before as they can trade these slots and lose out on nothing.
I keep mentioning the penalties because they are a big deal. In the baseball draft teams are limited out of fear of losing picks. In the International period the biggest penalty a team can sustain is paying 100% tax on all money over the pool along with being limited to only being able to spend a max of $250K on any single player the next year. They don't lose any pool money; they just pay a tax and can't sign a high price talent the next year.
Just to illustrate how broken this approach is all one has to do is look at the spending on the first day. As of the time of this article the Yankees had a pool total of $2,193,100, yet so far they have spent $18.5 million and that will surely rise to over $20 million. If the Yankees do spent exactly $20 million they will have to pay just shy of $18 million in taxes bringing the total bill to almost $40 million which is a total no small or even mid-market team can hope to contend with.
The Yankees are just a great example of a broken system but they are far from the only team who exploit it. The Red Sox are also spending heavily this year, and last year the Cubs and Rangers went well over pool. Get ready for the approach where the even years it's the Yankees and the Red Sox getting all the big names and then in odd years it will be the Cubs and Rangers. What they all have in common is market size. Teams like the Indians can't hope to contend. It is funny because this new system was meant to help out smaller teams and it has done exactly the opposite once teams figured out how to break the system.
The exploitation of the system has led to an increase in talk of an International draft. This has been talked about so often before that the system is basically in place. I expect within the next five years the draft will be implemented.
So on the first day one might wonder what the Indians were doing while the Yankees spent $18.5 million. Well the Indians ended up spending $1.265 million on six players. I will give a brief scouting report on each. A quick note is that every single one of these players is from the Dominican Republic which the Indians seem especially focused on this year.
- Leonardo Rodriquez is a big right-handed pitcher at 6'7". He is sitting in the low 90's already at 16, so needless to say Rodriquez projects as a big power pitcher with mid to high 90's velocity. His secondary stuff is basically nonexistent, but it often is for most 16 year olds. He was one of the most expensive signs at $300K, but should be an interesting arm to follow.
- Another 300K signing was Christopher Cespedes. He is 6'3" and 16 years old, so is another man-sized player here. Cespedes hits from the right side and seems like a future corner outfielder. His best tool is listed as power, and his power from the right side does matchup with the Indians biggest need in the minors. I already was asked if there is any relation to Yeonis, but seeing as Yeonis is from Cuba and Christopher from the Dominican Republic this would seem very unlikely.
- The last of the $300K signings was Oscar Gonzales. He is a lot like Cespedes as he is also 16 and currently is 6'3" with power projection from the right side. He has a much stronger arm though, and is also ticketed to the corner of the outfield in his future. The fun fact that was associated with him was that his trainer in the Dominican was a former pop singer who had a song peak in the 40's on Billboard's Latin chart.
- For $200K they added Julio Cabrera, a left handed outfielder who profiles in center field. He is not a lead off type as he only has average speed. It was his hit tool with a nice line drive stroke that got him signed. He is about 6' tall and has a good arm. It seems with the signings that the Indians have created an outfield to grow together. I think all three of them will start out together and hopefully excel and move up the ranks together.
- The first signing I read about was Henderson D'Oleo, a big right handed third baseman who signed for $165K. He like all the other signees is 16, but is the second biggest at 6'4". His best tool is viewed as his right handed power, which was a target of the Indians. This system really lacks right-handed bats in general, and it was nice to see them focus on this need. Henderson was also listed as having a strong arm and trained with the same trainer who worked with Julio Cabrera.
- The last player I heard about was another 16 year old Dominican player named Orlando Cedeno. He is a right-handed pitcher who is on the smaller side at 6'1" but his fastball has already hit the low 90's. His trainer is Pedro Martinez's father in law, so he might also be getting tips from Pedro from time to time and has worked with him already.
I will have more updates as players sign. I have heard a few reports on other players, but until I find two sources I can't confirm the signing. So stay tuned for updates as the Indians keep adding more talent to their system.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- An energy company planning to drill for shale natural gas in Northern Ireland said the home of one of its workers was bombed.
Tamboran Resources said last month it aims to drill what it says was a "scientific borehole" at a site in Northern Ireland. Since the July 21 announcement, the company said it secured an injunction that prevents outsiders from interfering with its operations because of a string of protests.
The company said its workers have been the target of threats from groups worried the drilling campaign would lead to hydraulic fracturing, the controversial drilling practice dubbed fracking.
A petrol bomb was thrown at the home of one of the company's workers, though nobody was injured in the attack.
"This was an orchestrated and abhorrent attack on a local family in the middle of the night," a statement published in the Daily Telegraph in London said Monday. "We condemn this latest attack that follows a number of unlawful incidents at our [drilling] site and threats that have been made to security staff."
Protesters in Balcombe, a village on the southern coast of England, became unruly last year. There, energy company Cuadrilla Resources carried out exploratory shale work, though no fracking was conducted at the site.
No group claimed responsibility for the attack on Tamboran Resources.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (KNSI) St. Cloud police arrested two St. Cloud State University football players following a disturbance outside the Press Bar early Sunday morning. It happened just before 2:00 a.m.
Sergeant Jason Burke says 22 year-old Richard Robinson was yelling and swearing during the disturbance. He was arrested for disorderly conduct after a short struggle with officers.
While he was being arrested, 23 year-old Marvin Matthews disobyed police orders to stay back and plowed through the officers in an attempt to get to Robinson while he was being arrested. Officers used pepper spray and struggled with Matthews before taking him into custody. Matthews is facing charges of disorderly conduct and obstructing the legal process.
Both men were booked into the Stearns County Jail. Robinson and Matthews have been suspended from the SCSU football team, which plays a game Saturday at Northwest Missouri State in the Division II playoff quarterfinals.
