Even though the labor crisis has the NFL at a standstill, the effort to bring a pro football team back to Los Angeles is moving forward.
AEG, proposing to build an NFL stadium/event center in downtown L.A., has taken another step in that direction by selecting Gensler to design the estimated $1 billion venue, The Times has learned. L.A.-based Gensler was one of three finalists, with the other two being the firms HNTB and HKS.
It's something of a coup that AEG chose Gensler, which has never designed an NFL stadium, considering HNTB is responsible for Invesco Field in Denver and HKS drew up the plans for Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Among dozens of other projects around the world, Gensler designed the 54-story hotel and residence tower that's part of L.A. Live.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, skating is awesome! If you know how, go. If you don't, learn. And if you need help, enroll in the "Learn to Skate" program at your local ice rink! Now, I know that's easy for me to say. I play hockey so I already know how to skate. However, learning is really easy, especially when guided by qualified professionals. But don't just take my word for it. This past week I caught up with Beth Merz, mother of Brynn Merz (age 11) who's been in the program at The Reisterstown Sportsplex for over a year now. I thought getting an opinion from someone who's been reaping the benefits of this program for some time might help give you a better idea of why it's so great.
So here's how it works. Registration is easy and can be done online. The beginner level consists of eight classes - one per week. At the end of the eighth class, there's an "exam" to determine if the skills taught were absorbed and can be performed satisfactorily by the student in order advance to the next level of beginner classes. After one year, Brynn is now in the 2nd level of the next tier program, called the "Free Skate" program. According to Beth, the cost is "very reasonable," and each enrollment also includes a coupon for one free public skating session to encourage students to continue practicing in their free time.
The Merz family is an active one. With four kids, someone's always playing something - soccer, lacrosse, and now skating too! But Beth enjoys the chaos, especially when it pays off. "Brynn loves skating. She took to it immediately and she was a natural," she said.
Not surprisingly, the beginner classes tend to be the largest. I asked Beth how the teachers make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. She said, "They're very knowledgeable, excellent teachers. Good at handling lots of kids at beginner levels. Kirsten (Director of Figure Skating at The Reisterstown Sportsplex) is warm, friendly and encouraging. Brynn loves her." She went on to explain that as students move up through the ranks, the crowds begin to thin, giving advancing students more one-on-one time with teachers. Private lessons are also offered, especially at the higher levels. There's also no commitment, so a pay-as-you-go system can be utilized if necessary.
With a year behind her and her skills improving daily, I asked where Brynn wanted to go from here. Beth expressed that Brynn is getting so good and enjoys it so much, they're beginning to wonder how they want to proceed as far as possibly competing. "She would probably want to compete at some point. We haven't explored that just yet. But we look forward to speaking to her coaches about that possible next level." Reisterstown offers a competition for skaters of all levels. Students are encouraged to compete if they choose.
After thanking Beth for offering to speak with me about Brynn and the "Learn to Skate" program, I asked if there were any final thoughts she would like to add. She responded by saying, "They're doing a really nice job. It's a good program. They have something for everybody. You can be a beginner, intermediate or advanced skater and get a lot out of the program."

New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie has been the public face of the opposition to marriage equality in that very blue state. He personally believes in an exclusionary definition of marriage, vetoed a marriage equality bill passed by the legislature in February of 2012, and has gone to court to defend marriage discrimination.
Gov. Christie is currently running for re-election, and in a debate Tuesday night with Democratic challenger Barbara Buono, he claimed that his feelings about marriage are so strong that they wouldn't change even if one of his children came out of the closet.
Professor Brigid Harrison of Montclair State University asked Christie how he would respond if one of his four children came out as gay and told him they wanted to get married. Christie responded:
"[If] my children came to me and said that they were gay, I would grab them and hug them and tell them I loved them, just like I would do with any of my children who came to me with news that they wanted to give to me that they thought were important enough to open themselves up in that way. But what I would also tell them is that Dad believes that marriage is between one man and one woman. And that's my position... And I know what [my child] would understand is that their father loves them, and that's the most important thing."
Buono, who has a lesbian daughter, declined to respond to Christie's remarks. But Jody Huckaby, Executive Director of PFLAG National, the nation's largest organization for parents, friends, and allies of the LGBT community, provided the following statement to The Bilerico Project:
"We commend Governor Christie, as a parent, for expressing his unconditional love should one of his children come out to him. We would ask him as an elected official, however, to have as strong a love for the Constitution, which dictates that our institutions and elected officials lead with the Founding Fathers' vision of nothing less than liberty and justice for all."
Video of the New Jersey gubernatorial debate is embedded after the jump. Harrison's question and Christie's response begin at the 47:45 mark.

Fast and Furious star, Gal Gadot, is up to play the role of Wonder Woman in the highly anticipated Batman-Superman movie, and she reveals how she is able to keep her toned body in shape.
The 28-year-old former Miss Israel told at a dinner for VineVera skin care she stays in shape by staying active.
"I just keep active – everything that's challenging me, everything that I feel like doing," Gadot said. "It's not like I'm only TRX or Pilates. I do sports."
The global ambassador for the skin care line admits her favorite exercise is TRX "because everything's working your whole body. I do cardio, but I don't like it as much. I'd rather do weights."
She even posts workout selfies showing her hard work pays off:
Workout Selfie… 😉 #hardworkpaysoff pic.twitter.com/ld0KEzk1gP
— Gal Gadot (@GalGadot) February 25, 2014
The mom of one added a healthy diet is key but she's not apposed to eating a hamburger.
"I eat cheeseburgers. That's good for the soul. I make sure to balance everything out. I drink tons of water," Gadot said.
The brunette beauty did not reveal anything about the new superhero movie but shooting should start soon.
According to ET, the movie is scheduled for release in May 2016.

|Synth Site: Roland: HPD-15: User reviews Add review

|william a part-time user from ontario writes:
I really dig this thing. It's round! way more intuitive than a piano keyboard for me. plenty of good sounds and some that really suck. the oes that are good are lots of fun. i like using it to control my sampler for making sound scapes too. all around an inspiring, time saving device.
Suggestions for improvment:
1) ability to play multiple sequences at once
2) layering of sounds
3) greater sensitivity on the finger pads
4) regarding the sequencer. why limit two tracks to sucky melodic sounds? wouldn't it be cool if you could have 4 percussion parts in a sequence and be able to mute and re-activate them via the pads? may be asking alittle much but why not dream big?

|Knurgen a hobbyist user from Norvegicum writes:
A very inspiring unit. It offers a much more natural way to play drum parts than a keyboard. I have made some highly original beats with it. The drum and percussion sounds are excellent, and I like much some of the smart features as for example the rehearsal function. Also some of the melodic sounds are fine. Most of them are usable, maybe not pro, but at least they can serve as sketches wich can be refined by other instruments. Of course it has not the same editing capabilities as a synthesizer, but more than enough for the purpose of an electronic percussion instrument. The beam controller is not much of use, the best thing about that is that it can be turned off.
I hope that Roland will continue to develop a range of units on basis of this one since it's probably the only one of its kind. More and more versatile and assignible realtime controllers which also can be assigned to specific zones and user definable groups of zones for example would be nice.
After all: A nice peace of gear well worth to be considered if you want a drum machine where you actually play the rythm parts. I think it deserves.....

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan 10, 2013) - As First Nations leaders prepare to meet with Canada''s Prime Minister and Governor General, Ontario Federation of Labour President Sid Ryan will show the support of Ontario''s labour movement for Canada''s Aboriginal community by joining Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence, First Nations people, the Idle No More movement and community allies for a rally and march from Ottawa''s Victoria Island on Friday.
"The conditions facing Aboriginal communities across Ontario are deplorable. Soaring poverty rates, boil water alerts, inadequate housing and substandard schools are a national shame that cannot be allowed to persist for one second longer," said Ryan. "It is time for Canada to sit down with First Nations people to negotiate agreements respecting their treaty rights and ending the appalling indignities they face."
|Where: Victoria Island, Ottawa
|When: Friday, January 11, 2013
|When: Events begin with a sunrise ceremony, followed by a Powwow throughout the day and an afternoon march
The international attention generated by the Idle No More movement and the hunger strike of Chief Theresa Spence has forced a reluctant Prime Minister Stephen Harper to agree to meet with First Nations stakeholders on Friday afternoon. A separate meeting with Canada''s Governor General is scheduled for later in the evening.
"Prime Minister Harper cannot continue to sit by while Canada''s Aboriginal communities are in crisis," said Ryan. "This movement has begun to wake Canadians up to these serious issues and workers across Ontario have joined this call for immediate action. Justice cannot be delayed."
The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) represents 54 unions and one million workers in Ontario. For information, visit www.OFL.ca and follow the OFL on Facebook and Twitter: @OFLabour and follow OFL President Sid Ryan at @SidRyan_OFL.

It was a cold Friday for box office as both Bollywood releases Ramaiya Vastavaiya and D-Day earned Rs. 3.5 crore and Rs. 2.5 crore respectively. Girish Kumar Taurani's debut film Ramaiya Vastavaiya has collected Rs. 3.5 crore at the box offic3e on day one of its release. Nikhil Advani's D-Day was slightly behind in the race, earning a total of Rs. 2.5 crore.
D-Day, starring Rishi Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Arjun Rampal, Shruti Haasan, Huma Qureshi, Nasser and KK Raina, is by far the lowest budget film for Nikhil Advani (He has made Kal Ho Na Ho, Salaam-E-Ishq, Chandni Chowk To China and Patiala House).
Talking to DNA about the pressures of working on low budget, Nikhil Advani said, "I worked with a crew that was brand new. Except my DOP. We had to compromise on the budget and the number of shooting days as I wanted an action director from abroad. I completed the film in 64 days. At every step I pushed myself to meet the target because the budget was tight and yet we had to make a good film."
Though the BO figures are low for D-Day, the small budget is likely to help filmmakers earn profit even from meagre collections from the ticket windows. On the other hand, made on an estimated budget of Rs. 30 crore, Ramaiya Vastavaiya, might prove to be a flop.

Today the Semantic Web Co-ordination Group met and we discussed the relationship between the IETF and GRDDL, in particular the HTTP Header case. After discussion, I was informed that it would be possible to take GRDDL to Last Call with the use of Link and Profile HTTP headers with GRDDL as a "Feature at Risk." However, we cannot continue to PR with a "feature at risk." In order not to get off schedule, we will continue to maintain the use of Link and Profile headers in our documents (Use Case and Spec, as well as test-case) until the end of March, in which case we are on schedule to go to PR. If the IESG approves Mark Nottingham's draft before the end of March, we can include the HTTP header in our normative documents. Otherwise, we should remove the feature. People in the SemWeb Co-ordination Group believe it is not improbable that Mark Nottingham's draft will be approved by the IESG before the end of March. Cross your fingers, and e-mail Mark and email@example.com suggesting how important it is that the W3C communicate to the IETF that it is important that this draft be approved, if possible, by the IESG. If Mark requires help, please inform the list-serv. -- -harry Harry Halpin, University of Edinburgh http://www.ibiblio.org/hhalpin 6B522426Received on Friday, 9 February 2007 18:05:46 UTC

Team effort central to five-star Coola's success
THIS year for the fifth year in a row, our Senior Boys triumphed in the Sligo School's League final against Enniscrone beating them by a score of 3-10 to 2-9 in Tourlestrane.
Our captain, James Mackey, played a massive role for the team's success this year.
There was a panel of 30 players for this season and we had a strong and well organised side.
I interviewed James Mackey to get his reflection on our memorable year.
He said: "The team did very well to win the five in a row this year.
"For most of the starting team this year it was their first year playing at Senior level.
"There are many young players who still play at U-16 Club level.
"We achieved a great victory on the way to the final beating Easkey.
"That day we put 3-17 on the board, scoring 3-16 from play.
"I can see tremendous potential with Coola progressing into Connacht finals in the coming years as our Junior team is very impressive.
"These young players can only improve.
"All in all it was a fantastic year for the Senior squad winning the Sligo VEC competition five times on the trot."
Our enthusiastic managers for the year were Mr. Murphy and Liam Og Gormley.
Our Junior boys are now in the semi-final of the Connacht Championship after beating Dunmore in the quarter final after an impressive performance over the Galway side.
Sligo Champion

Art history professor to share contemporary/traditional views from Seoul trip
Hope Childers, assistant professor of art history at Alfred University, will present "Art Old and New in Seoul, South Korea" as part of Alfred University's Bergren Forum series. The forum will take place on Thursday, Sept. 20 and will begin at 12:10 p.m. in Powell Campus Center's Nevins Theater. All are welcome.
Childers will talk about her trip to South Korea in May, where she explored the contemporary art scene as well as traditional Korean culture.
"Seoul is one of the world's megacities, with over 25 million people. While there I interviewed contemporary curators and artists, and attended several groundbreaking exhibitions of Korean modern art," said Childers.
She will show slides of the range of art and cultural institutions she visited, from the grand National Museum to the modest Kimchi Museum. In addition, she was able to visit landmark Buddhist temples in the city during the run-up to the Buddha's birthday, a very festive event for many Koreans.

Paul Ryan, a champion of changing Medicare, spoke as a passionate defender Saturday, promising seniors that he and Mitt Romney would save it.
He introduced his 78-year-old mother to Florida voters to drive home the point that the health program 'was there for our family' and 'we have to keep that guarantee.'
Meanwhile Barack Obama, who is campaigning in New Hampshire, castigated the Republican presidential ticket for peddling 'trickle-down snake oil' in the form of tax cuts for the rich.
On the Democrat campaign, Obama was casting the choice Election Day as one between two fundamentally different approaches to the government's responsibility to its citizens and who pays the bill.
His approach of casting Romney's plans as a giveaway to the rich was familiar but seemed to have a particularly sharp bite.
'They've been trying to sell this trickle-down snake oil before,' Obama told an audience in Windham, N.H. 'It did not work then. It will not work now. It will not reduce the deficit, it will not create jobs. It's the wrong direction for America.'
And as Ryan took the stage in The Villages with his mother Betty Ryan Douglas, Romney scheduled a series of fundraisers in Massachusetts.
The Wisconsin congressman said he saw Medicare's benefits firsthand as a child when his grandmother, with Alzheimer's, moved in with his family. 'My mom and I were her two primary caregivers,' Ryan said before shifting to his mother and the promise of Medicare for her.
'She planned her retirement around this promise,' Ryan said. 'That's a promise we have to keep.'
'It's not just a program,' he added. 'It's what my mom relies on.'
He accused Obama of undermining Medicare by cutting billions from the program to devote to expanded coverage under his health care law, and asserted: 'We want this debate. We need this debate. And we are going to win this debate.'
Older Americans have often resisted changes in Medicare, the federal health care insurance program for people 65 and older, and for the disabled.
The Romney-Ryan ticket is betting that voters' worries about federal deficits and the Democrats' health care overhaul have opened the door for a robust debate on the solvency of Medicare, one of the government's most popular and costliest programs.

Much like they did against the Panthers, the Jackets (1-1) will look to attack the Indians' 50 defense with a running game — led by junior running back Tharon Davis (19 carries, 197 yards, 3 TD against Portal) — that exploded in the Jacket win.
Southeast Bulloch coach John Kenny, who is in the process of installing his spread offense at SEB, is not afraid to keep the ball on the ground if he has to. Although Davis will get a bulk of the carries, the Jackets can attack from a number of spots. Freshman fullback Dieon Evans added 15 carries to compliment Davis in the win against the Panthers.
"We did not throw the ball a whole bunch (against PHS)," said Kenny, "just because of the way the game progressed. We try to spread the ball around, but due to his position, (Davis) is going to touch the ball more than anybody else."
The first year in the system has taken some getting used to for quarterback Joe Wilson, who has shown early signs of leadership, proving to be calm and have a strong presence in the pocket. As Wilson works on the execution of the passing plays, the team hopes to be able to be more effective in that aspect of the game.
Vidalia brings a new offense of its own, led by first year head coach Tim Chomskis, and will attack the SEB defense with a double-wing/wishbone attack. The Indians (1-0) like to run the ball, knocking off Treutlen 20-6 in their season opener, and the Jackets are no stranger to that. Already having faced the Wing-T of Toombs County and the triple-option attack of the Panthers, Southeast Bulloch has had plenty of opportunities to defend the running game.
"In the first two weeks, we played teams that were primarily run teams," said Kenny. "Each week I think you ought to improve, and each week as you have success — not wins and losses — but success, it's going to breed confidence."
Vidalia will look to establish the running game and utilize the play action to try to air the ball out and try to keep the Jacket defense guessing.
"They play action and do (some) sprint stuff off of it" said Kenny. "They have good size up front and their quarterback and running backs run well."
While Portal's speed was the main concern for SEB' offense last week, Vidalia brings size and depth to the table defensively.
"Vidalia's big, strong and athletic," Kenny said. "They run a 50 on defense, they like to change they're coverage a little bit. … (They have) two huge tackles, a quick nose guard, and backers and a secondary that plays well."
Having a series of non-region games to start off Kenny's first season is helpful in getting his team ready for region play. Playing a variety of teams outside of Region 3-AA will allow Kenny and his staff to build on his team's strengths before region play kicks off.
"Like we tell the kids," said Kenny, "those non-region games, we like to worry more about the video than the scoreboard, so we can improve."
Seeing improvement from week to week has Kenny optimistic, and the Jackets hope to utilize these non-region games to have their offense firing from all cylinders when region play begins Sept. 21 at Swainsboro.

Everything in pop culture builds off what came before, but sometimes it's not so obvious exactly what inspired your favorite video games. Luckily game recognize game, and Source Code is where Playboy explores games' eclectic origins and finds out what influences video game developers.
Of all the things you can do in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt—and there are a lot of things you can do in the world of The Witcher—the card game Gwent is among the most unique. While having a playable card game in a video game isn't a new idea (see Final Fantasy VIII's "Triple Triad" and many others), Gwent is one of the most fleshed-out and complex games-inside-games seen to date.
Gwent is a card game within The Witcher 3 enjoyed by merchants and many major characters. Each player draws 10 cards and the game's board is set up like two armies squaring off. The basic cards comprise melee, ranged, and siege troops that all have a strength ranking. The goal is to end each round with more strength on the field than your opponent. You have to make the 10 cards in your hand last the entirety of the game, and there's a lot of strategy involved.
While some players might assume that Gwent is just another video game distraction, it actually has some basis in the books that the Witcher games are based on.
"In the books, 'Gwint' (the original Polish name) is briefly mentioned once or twice," Rafał Jaki, developer at The Witcher studio CD Projekt Red, told Playboy. "We took from there that there could be existing games about the clashing of two armies. There is even a funny bit about when Dwarves play Gwent they have a stick to smack cheaters who get caught. So we took that notion and built upon that."
The idea was to do something simple, but not simplistic. There are plenty of strategies beyond the simple laying of troops, such as using weather cards to power down a row of your enemies' troops—as well as your own—and so on. The main design of Gwent was done by Damien Monnier, the game's senior gameplay designer, and many influences can be seen from other games. Hearthstone and Netrunner, two popular card games, are just a few examples of the real-world games that Monnier and his team drew upon when crafting Gwent.
But given how good Gwent is and how popular it's become among The Witcher players, it's pretty surprising that it wasn't originally supposed to be in the game at all.
"Well, at first having a card game in Wild Hunt was not planned at all," Jaki explained. "We tried to pitch our head of studio (Adam Badowski) with an idea like [a card game], but the concept did not fit very well. Then Damien told Adam that if he gives us two days we will come to him with a game that he will approve of—and we did."
As development on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt progressed, Gwent had to be developed alongside the dev team's normal duties, as this was never in the original plan for the game. Throughout its development, however, more and more people within the studio latched on to the concept and helped with the completion of Gwent while they still fulfilled their normal development duties.
"It took us more than a year to make it what people now, hopefully, are playing in The Witcher 3," Jaki said.
Gwent's success has caused players to ask for a standalone version, whether it be on PC or mobile—or both. In fact, one modder has already gone so far as to add the entire suite of Gwent cards and mechanics into a game called Tabletop Simulator, letting players enjoy Gwent without having to boot up The Witcher 3. As of now, CD Projekt Red has no plans to bring Gwent to any other platform, even though they know people are asking.
"We think that Gwent is a fun part of the world, but it's exactly because it's a part of it," Jaki said. "We are getting a huge amount of emails to just port it to iPad or PC as a stand alone, but it would not work without major changes. When you do quests inside The Witcher 3, you can encounter different decks, but in a player-versus-player (PVP) environment it would have to be far more fine-tuned. When you play real people they can come up with things that we as design didn't think of."
CDPR still has plans to support Gwent within the world they've created, as updates since launch have seen the addition of new Gwent cards to the game. So whether you're someone who is begging for an Android phone version to play on your commute or a player wandering the streets of the city of Novigrad in search of the next tough opponent, Gwent will not be dying off anytime soon.
Gwent is a great way to just take a break from the humdrum life of a professional monster hunter, so while you're battling petty merchants in the town you just rescued or challenging one of the game's masters with your carefully curated decks, enjoy the brief in-game respite the developers worked so hard to bring you. Oh—and remember to watch out for Dwarves with clubs, lest they catch you cheating.

We're all looking for answers on how to be healthy and happy, especially at the beginning of a new year. Best-selling author Caroline Myss ("Sacred Contracts," "Anatomy of the Spirit") says that a good place to start is by ditching a "me-me-me" attitude and being honest with yourself.
"We have a lot of mythologies that are promoted ... about the American way and the American way of life," said Myss, whose latest book, "Archetypes: Who Are You?" (Hay House), hits stores in January. "There's a theme of perfection and entitlement that has always been promoted up until now, and it's coming crashing down."

Moratorium on utility disconnections expires
Submitted: 04/15/2014
- People behind on their utility bills could start getting shut off today. That's because the state's winter moratorium on disconnecting utility customers is ending. The law prohibits utilities from shutting off a customer's heat between November 1st and April 15th. Nearly 26,000 Wisconsin Public Service customers got at least 4 months behind on payments this winter. That number is slightly higher than last year. Harsh winter weather pushed up heating bills.Utility companies encourage those who are behind on their bills to get in touch.They will work with customers to make payment arrangements.Help is available for people whose household is at, or below 60 percent of the state median income level. That's about 47,000 for a family of four.People can apply for assistance through county social service offices, tribal governments and private nonprofit agencies.(Copyright 2014 Associated Press - All Rights Reserved)

it wouldnt surprise me that they didnt hire bas anymore because of his english, i think the american sports audiences are used to a different type of commentating and they might not like fat accents?
This is just a guess.
also what do you guys think?
im affraid that in time events like UFC will become retarded like most american sports with a news/info/stats barat the bottom and all this extra in screens with useless info and stuff.
on the other hand starting from december Lolland is airing UFC on a free tv channel, lets hope its not old rerun crap!

Anselmo "Chemito" Moreno (33-2-1, 12KOs) arrived back home in Panama and announced that he plans to return to the bantamweight division to defend his WBA "super title." Moreno had received special permission to move up in weight to challenge WBC champion Abner Mares last Saturday in Los Angeles. Moreno lost a twelve round unanimous decision and doesn't plan to stick around at 122-pounds.
Pursuant to the agreement with the WBA, Moreno will have to face the winner of Koki Kameda (28-1, 17KOs) vs. Hugo Ruiz (31-1, 28KOs), who battle for the Japanese boxer's "regular" WBA bantamweight title on December 4th in Osaka. Moreno had previously told the WBA that he would fight the winner if he decided to return to 118-pounds.

A.J. Burnett was a monster tonight. He went eight innings, gave up five hits and only walked one hitter. A big difference tonight was that he didn't let a single leadoff hitter reach base. After the Reds put up runs in the first three innings of all three games last week at PNC Park it was important for things to get off to a good start and Burnett made that happen every single inning. Burnett can be up and down and when he is good he can dominate a game. Tonight he was dominant exactly when the Pirates needed him to be. This was a big time start from a big time pitcher.
The offense wasn't overly great but when they needed a big hit they got it. Marlon Byrd got the party started in the third inning as Reds starter Homer Bailey loaded the bases without the Pirates even getting a hit. The first hit they did get that inning was a single from Byrd that score Starling Marte and Andrew McCutchen.
Pedro Alvarez really put the game away in the sixth inning. With the Pirates up 2-1 Byrd doubled off the top of the wall in dead center that was literally an inch away from being a home run. Alvarez crushed ball 443 feet off the batters eye. It was a monster shot and took the life out of GABP. It was a great sound.
Alvarez had two hits on the night and Byrd had three. They had five of the six hits and it was enough tonight. Moreover the Pirates took advantage of Bailey having zero control and took five walks and reached two more times on hit pitches. The Pirates took what the Reds gave them and made them pay with some hits from the middle of the order guys. Exactly what they needed to do.
While Alvarez hasn't been good recently something that had me a little surprised was when I looked over his last 30 days. Sure, he is only hitting 182/.248/.313 (entering tonight) during that time span but what caught me off guard is that he is only striking out 22% of his plate appearances. To be honest, and this is just a complete guess, I am not sure if Alvarez has ever gone a stretch with that low of a strikeout rate. His LD/FB/GB are off a little but his BABIP over those 30 days is only .216 which is unsustainably low when his career BABIP is .300. I am not sure this is something that Alvarez can keep up but just something to note. If he can get hot this would be a perfect time for it and it could be enough to carry the Pirates through some playoff games.
I don't really think that it is a must that the Pirates get home field advantage for the Wild Card game because of how close this series has been this year, but man it would be nice. I think the Pirates have a better chance at winning at home but in a one game "series" anything can happen and I can see the Pirates winning in either ballpark. What came up in my Twitter feed earlier really made me sit back and think about it though when Lance McAlister, a Reds radio talk show host, said this:
what's at stake is simply this: Do you want the #Reds playing before a PNC sellout crowd Tuesday in city w/ 1st playoff game since 1992?— Lance McAlister (@LanceMcAlister) September 27, 2013
That gives you goosebumps. The Pirates need to win one of the next two games to play at PNC Park in a playoff game. Just thinking about the atmosphere and electricity there gives me goosebumps. Hopefully Charlie Morton and company can take care of this tomorrow and make Sunday's game meaningless.

Management of 285 intramedullary lesions: Clinical experience
Klinische Behandlungsergebnisse in 285 intramedullären Läsionen
Search Medline for
|April 11, 2007
Objective: Large series of homogeneously managed intramedullary lesions are rare and frequently span many decades with different technological standards. As a centre for intramedullary tumour surgery we report on a series of 285 cases with intramedullary lesions and emerging concepts as well as open questions.
Methods: In the last 20 years 243 patients underwent 285 operations for intramedullary tumours. A retrospective neurological assessment according to the classification of Cooper and Epstein was performed to allow standardized comparison. Follow-up included examination of all patients pre- and postoperatively, after six months and one year and regular follow-up MRI.
Results: For analysis, the lesions were grouped by location: group 1 (N=65): craniocervical and cervical, group 2 (N=189): cervicothoracic, group 3 (N=31) thoracolumbar, including conus. Histological classification of tumours followed the WHO criteria and combining all groups we found 200 patients with tumours. 83 lesions were considered vascular: cavernous hemangiomas (N=32) or hemangioblastomas (N=51), two lesions were non-tumorous intramedullary cysts. 42 tumours were referred after biopsy elsewhere. Of the tumorous lesions, 142 were completely resected and 58 underwent partial resection or only extended biopsy. The immediate and long-term neurological outcome was found to be associated with the preoperative status. Patients, who were diagnosed early and had only minor symptoms, usually complained of postoperative sensory deficits which resolved over two years on the average. Patients with Cooper and Epstein ≥3 were most prone to an aggravation of their symptoms. Persistent neurological deterioration occurred in 83 patients. The recurrency rate for tumours was nearly 8%. Adjuvant therapy was used in only 10 patients.
Conclusions: The prediction of histology from the neuroradiological appearance is difficult and therefore the resective option can only be assessed by exploration of the tumour. Standardized intraoperative management includes complete exposure by laminotomy, intraoperative ultrasound to verify the correct level before opening the dura, high-dose methylprednisolone, midline approach, CO2 laser dissection in selected cases and electrophysiological monitoring. Early diagnosis is favourable for a better outcome. Because of poor vascularization and thus increased vulnerability, lesions in the middle thoracic region bear the highest risk for postoperative deterioration and permanent neurological impairment.

I've been toying with the idea but that means going back inside and changing and i wonder how that would work....is it even worth it?

Prince, Justin Timberlake top SXSW star send-off
The Austin music festival closed with a slew of all-star names.
AUSTIN — South By Southwest came to an end early Sunday with a glamorous clamor.
The festival's last night offered big-name performances to suit almost any taste, an embarrassment of riches in an town with an already-swarming musical slate.
Prince played bandleader with a 22-piece ensemble supporting him on classics such as Purple Rain at the club La Zona Rosa.
At the same time, a few blocks away, Justin Timberlake commanded an intimate stage of his own at the Coppertank Events Center. Earlier in the evening, rock legend John Fogerty played a set at Austin City Limits Live's Moody Theater. And Vampire Weekend played Stubb's BBQ; Haim opened for the band and will do so again on Vampire Weekend's tour beginning in May.
Many of the 700 or so in attendance at Timberlake's show got tickets by connecting to MySpace (Timberlake is an investor in the online music service). It was the third of three "secret shows" MySpace held at SXSW. Others got into Timberlake's gig by tweeting about Chevrolet.
After a DJ set by The Roots' ?uestlove, Timberlake played guitar and keyboards during an hour-plus set of past hits such as Cry Me A River and new songs from his album The 20/20 Experience, out Tuesday. "Thanks for an amazing night, Austin! Hope you had as much fun as I did!!!" he tweeted at about 3 a.m. Sunday.
Samsung gave away tickets to the concert by Prince and openers A Tribe Called Quest to those who used their mobile devices during SXSW to unlock rewards by tapping TecTile tags posted throughout Austin.
"They called our people and said they need some funk in Austin," Prince told the audience of more than 1,000 early on in the nearly three-hour performance. After noting that "you all got a whole lot of guitar players here," Prince never picked up a guitar, instead making like James Brown directing festivities.
Spotted in the crowd: actor Dennis Quaid and musicians Erykah Badu, Jim James and Talib Kweli.
A rendition of 1999 earned a raucous reception, as did a cover of Michael Jackson's Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough.
The crowd of 1,000 didn't want the nearly three-hour show to end, calling Prince and his musical court back to the stage for six encores. At one point, he hollered out, "There ain't no curfew."

'Gorgeous' Jhumpa Lahiri among 'thinking man's sex symbols'January 6th, 2009 - 12:25 pm ICT by IANS
New York, Jan 6 (IANS) Indian origin author Jhumpa Lahiri, with her "hypnotic eyes", has been named among the top 10 "sex symobls of the thinking man" for 2008, which put Serbian tennis player Ana Ivanovic in the number one slot.The list, prepared by the popular website The Daily Beast run by former New Yorker journalist Tina Brown, places US-based Lahiri at No.8.
"Jhumpa Lahiri is the gorgeous author of three seriously literary books including, this year, a collection of short stories called 'Unaccustomed Earth'. Those hypnotic eyes are devastating," wrote Touré, a TV journalist, columnist and author.
Clarifying the concept, he notes: "Before we dive into the Top Ten Thinking Man's Sex Symbols for 2008, let's make sure we're all on the same page. TMSS is a term that's thrown around a lot. So let's quantify.
"A man has two minds. The lower mind is brainless … The upper mind, which works with actual grey matter, is more persnickety. The upper mind, when employed, is moved by intelligence, success, power, self-confidence, a smart sense of humour, and, of course, not having a castrating nature.
"And that's the challenge. Can a woman be independent, creative, sharp, witty, strong, and self-empowering without making me feel like she wants to be a man?"
According to the columnist, a TMSS is someone "we imagine having great conversations with, laughing with, revelling in her success with, and getting drunk on her power with. Where Maxim girls are purposefully brainless, we look at a TMSS and say she's hot because she's smart and beautiful".
The list for the past year is topped by 21-year-old tennis player Ivanovic with British novelist Zadie Smith in "honourable mention".
"If Zadie Smith had published a book in 2008 she'd be #1 (not only is the chick beautiful and brilliant and literary and into hiphop, but she's also got this really sexy deep voice, not Kathleen Turner deep, but a really nice, full, low tone that always kills me). But she didn't, so she's the obligatory honourable mention.
"…And when tennis produces a woman so gorgeous that it's unbelievably hard to take your eyes off her, she's an insuperable TMSS. And unlike that pathetic cream puff Anna Kournikova, my #1's not a frequently double-faulting, habitual first-round loser. No, my #1 won the French Open this year and reached the finals of the Australian Open weeks before winning in Paris.
"Ana Ivanovic from Serbia is currently the fifth-best woman in the world. She's got a mean forehand, is studying finance online as she travels the world, winning tournaments, and is blowing men away with a butterscotch-coloured face that's all smooth slopes and haunting eyes. Ivanovic is the most beautiful female professional athlete of all time."
The list:
No.10: Jennifer Granholm, governor of Michigan.
No.9: Samantha Power, Irish American journalist, author and academic
No.8 Jhumpa Lahiri
No.7: M.I.A., stage name of Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam, British song writer and artist of Tamil descent
No.6: Meredith Vieira, American journalist and TV celebrity
No.5: Lisa Ling, American TV journalist
No.4: Katie Couric, American TV journalist
No.3: Sarah Silverman, American singer, actor, comedian, writer
No.2: Tina Fey, American TV actor, producer
No.1 Ana Ivanovic and Zadie Smith (Honorable Mention)

Estevez is back - with juice
After a decade's vacation for all things Hollywood, Emilio Estevez returns - as a critically lauded director:
Emilio Estevez's terrific movie, Bobby, got a standing ovation last night at its premiere sponsored by the Times of London for the London Film Festival.
Estevez looked mildly shocked on stage as a full Odeon theatre, with guests including likely future prime minister of England Gordon Brown, honored him for his work on this outstanding film.
Bobby, as I told you some weeks ago, is a Robert Altman-like story of many different characters at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 4, 1968, as Kennedy makes his way there to celebrate winning the California primary.
Estevez's next stop with Bobby is the American Film Institute on Nov. 1, where the movie gets it's Los Angeles premiere. But paparazzi be warned — Charlie Sheen is not coming. "He says he has to memorize his lines for Two and A Half Men," Emilio says, rolling his eyes.
His place in Hollywood history has always been assured with his performance as Otto in Repo Man...
But it's great to see him working again...

Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini hopes his players can be united after a tough summer of uncertainty.
They kick off their Spanish Liga campaign against Celta Vigo today.
Pellegrini told the club's website: "We have already been working for 40 days so we hope to arrive tomorrow at a good level against a team who, obviously, will be full of excitement to be returning to the Primera after five years.
"They will have the crowd up for it and supporting them, and we will face a very difficult opponent.
"Without any doubt Wednesday is a very important game for the history of the club and the current moment the club is living through, both economically and on a sporting level.
"But, inside we have to be very conscious that perhaps for the first time we are going to be involved in two parallel competitions.
"We have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to worry about the Champions League though, and for now all that concerns us is Celta."

Vaughn Highfield writes on TheGamersHub:
"Velocity, and it's reworked update Velocity Ultra, won fans the world over. It's perfectly formed fun that was wonderful thanks to the pure simplicity of it all. Players would just point the Quarp Jet, and then go headfirst into a level, aiming to get the best times and strive for that perfect run. Puzzles would be an obstacle, but an obstacle that was enjoyable to achieve, memory-mapping each switch location and the quickest way to teleport around to grab survivors and hit some switches. So, with Velocity 2x on the cards I was curious as to how you could improve upon near perfection; and my curiosity was well deserved, because 2x falls just short of the mark.
"In fairness, it had lofty heights to achieve – heights that had it been a sequel to any other game, it would have surely surpassed. But Velocity 2x is a confused work of art."

Sports clubs and council leaders are providing a united front in the drive to build a new community sports facility near a town centre.
East Dunbartonshire Council recently committed £1million to the Kirkintilloch Community Sports Club, which would be built near Southbank Marina.
It would provide a home for Rob Roy Football Club, as well as being used by a number of other organisations, including Strathkelvin Shinty Club, Bishopbriggs Acro Gymnastics, Chung Yong Taekwondo and Lairdsland Primary School - whose pupils designed a logo for the club which was part of the plans unveiled last week.
Council leader Rhondda Geekie said, "This innovative sports project is great news and I welcome the innovative approach taken by Kirkintilloch Rob Roy in developing such a community facility along with other local clubs.
Rob Roy's Gerry Allen added: "We believe that this approach delivers a much greater community outcome for Kirkintilloch and that working in partnership with others to achieve this will also provide a long term exciting future for the growth of Rob Roy and all the youngsters who are now playing in the club.
"We recognise this is a giant step for Rob Roy and feel that the long term future for Junior football in our small towns lies in recognising what our assets are worth and putting them towards exciting initiatives like this."

Racism has reared its head at an AFL game again, as Essendon terminated the membership of a supporter who racially abused Sydney's Adam Goodes during Friday's game at Etihad Stadium.
Goodes was not aware of the incident at the time but Essendon's chief operating officer, Xavier Campbell, said racism would not be tolerated.
"As a club, we do not accept appalling behaviour of this nature - no matter your race, religion or gender, football is a game of inclusion," said Campbell. "It is extremely disappointing incidents of this nature are still occurring."
Campbell also apologised to Goodes. "On behalf of the entire Essendon Football Club, I want to publicly apologise to Adam Goodes for this extremely disappointing incident," Campbell said. "Essendon prides itself on diversity and inclusion – players and fans deserve and expect the right to enjoy sport free from any form of abuse or harassment.
"As a club, we will now work even harder to educate our members and supporters about racial vilification and cultural awareness in our game."
The supporter was ejected from the stadium after fans reported his behaviour to police. "I commend our supporters for taking a stand and having the courage to report this matter to the appropriate authorities," said Campbell. "If you're going to behave in this manner, we don't want you attending our games.
It is not the first time Goodes – who was named Australian of the Year – has had to contend with racist abuse from fans. Last year, a 13-year-old Collingwood fan called the player "an ape". On that occasion Goodes heard the comments and alerted stewards to the girl, who was ejected from the stadium.
Unfortunately, the incident does not appear to be an isolated one. On Tuesday the Western Bulldogs said one of their fans had racially abused Melbourne's Neville Jetta during the teams' match on 12 May.
"We are ashamed of the actions of this person who by his actions has damaged the fabric and the reputation of our club," the Bulldogs chairman, Peter Gordon, said in a statement. "We have no tolerance for ignorant racial abuse and we will continue to make efforts to identify this person and to deal with him under our supporters' code of conduct.
"It has been the club's initiative to make this matter public and to acknowledge the wrongdoing of one of our own supporters. When racist abuse rears its ugly head, we will never as a club do what this person has done ... disappear into anonymity. It happened. One of our own supporters did it. We are all diminished as a consequence. But we will not let it pass."
Jetta said both he and his family had been affected by the abuse. "It's completely unacceptable that these sorts of comments still exist in our society today," he said. "I was upset that my family and friends were subjected to this type of behaviour and that it still exists within the AFL, as they have done a terrific job in educating society that racial vilification is unacceptable. This is an opportunity to educate society. Just because I didn't hear the remark firsthand, this doesn't mean that it is any less offensive or hurtful."

Cancer treatment keeps mom unemployed
November 25. 2012 10:49PM
MANCHESTER - Last year, Natalie noticed that a lump kept growing on her shoulder.
On Halloween Day 2011, doctors took three layers of muscle tissue from her left shoulder to remove a rare form of cancer from the 22-year-old's body, she said.
The operation has left her disabled and unable to return to her minimum-wage job as a supermarket cashier. She turned to the New Hamppshire Union Leader Santa Fund for the Salvation Army to help provide her 2-year-old son a few Christmas gifts.
"I can't pick up or lift anything heavy, for example a cup of milk," she said. "Laundry is too much work for my left arm."
Natalie (not her real name) said she receives $600 in Social Security disability payments. Back problems have also left her boyfriend disabled. Together, they receive $1,600 in disability and food stamps. Most of their rent is covered by the Section 8 voucher program, and she relies on food stamps and the food pantries to put food on the table.
She's not sure of her future. She thinks about eventually going into child care work, but her wound cannot tolerate a sharp blow at this point; she said radiation treatment can make her doze off.
"I can be with my son now. I don't have to worry about him," she said.
Natalie said she plans to set up a Mickey Mouse Christmas decoration, and she and her boyfriend may purchase a tree. Their son is still a little too young to appreciate the season.
"He's so fun. When opening presents, he always gets such a smile on his face," she said.
Natalie said she will spend Christmas Eve with her boyfriend and son at their apartment. She plans to eat Christmas dinner at his father's house, where a relative plans to dress as Santa Claus for her son. Then they will return to their east Manchester home and watch a few movies.
The generosity of Santa Fund donors makes it possible for the holidays to still be a joyful time. The Santa Fund makes food, clothing and gifts available during the holiday season, so ?nancially stressed families can put their resources toward paying bills for basic needs.
Santa Fund donations may be made by sending a check to the Union Leader Santa Fund, in care of the New Hampshire Union Leader, P.O. Box 9555, Manchester 03108; or by placing a donation in the Santa Fund box in the lobby of the newspaper, at 100 William Loeb Drive, Manchester, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. Donations can also be made online at www.unionleader.com/santafund.
Every effort is made to promptly publish Santa Fund contributions. Donors who wish to see their contributions listed before Christmas are encouraged to submit them as soon as possible. The Union Leader publishes photos of donors of $1,000 or more.
For more information, call Christy Detrude at 668-4321, ext. 507.
