The Waldorf Astoria New York is a luxury hotel in New York City. It has been housed in two historic landmark buildings in New York. The first, designed by architect Henry J. Hardenbergh, was on the Fifth Avenue site of the Empire State Building. The present building, at 301 Park Avenue in Manhattan, is a 47-story 190.5 m (625 ft) Art Deco landmark designed by architects Schultze and Weaver and dating from 1931. Lee S Jablin, Harman Jablin Architects, fully renovated and upgraded the historical property to its original grandeur during the mid-1980s through the mid-1990s. The Waldorf Astoria New York is a member of Hilton's Luxury and Lifestyle Brands along with Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts and Conrad Hotels & Resorts. The Waldorf Astoria New York is a member of Historic Hotel of America the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The Waldorf Astoria was the first hotel to offer room service, making a huge impact for the future of the hotel industry.
The modern hotel has three American and classic European restaurants, and a beauty parlor located off the main lobby. Several boutiques surround the lobby. A boutique "hotel within a hotel" housed on the upper floors is known as The Waldorf Towers. The hotel has its own railway platform as part of Grand Central Terminal, used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, James Farley, Adlai Stevenson, and Douglas MacArthur, among others. An elevator large enough for Franklin D. Roosevelt's automobile provides access to the platform.[4]
Its name is ultimately derived from Walldorf in Germany and the prominent German-American Astor family that originated there.
An Astor family feud contributed to the events which led to the construction of the original Waldorf-Astoria on Fifth Avenue.
It started as two hotels: one owned by William Waldorf Astor, whose 13-story Waldorf Hotel was opened in 1893 and the other owned by his cousin, John Jacob Astor IV, called the Astoria Hotel and opened four years later in 1897, four stories higher.
William Astor, motivated in part by a dispute with his aunt, Caroline Webster Schermerhorn Astor, built the original Waldorf Hotel next door to her house, on the site of his father's mansion and today's Empire State Building. The hotel was built to the specifications of founding proprietor George Boldt; he and his wife Louise had become known as the owners and operators of the Bellevue, an elite boutique hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Broad Street, subsequently expanded and renamed the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. Boldt continued to own the Bellevue (and, later, the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel) even after his relationship with the Astors blossomed.
William Astor's construction of a hotel next to his aunt's house worsened his feud with her, but, with Boldt's help, John Astor persuaded his mother to move uptown. John Astor then built the Astoria Hotel and leased it to Boldt. The hotels were initially built as two separate structures, but Boldt planned the Astoria so it could be connected to the Waldorf by Peacock Alley. The combined Waldorf-Astoria became the largest hotel in the world at the time, while maintaining the original Waldorf's high standards.[5]
The Waldorf Astoria is historically significant for transforming the contemporary hotel, then a facility for transients, into a social center of the city as well as a prestigious destination for visitors and a part of popular culture.[5] The Waldorf-Astoria was influential in advancing the status of women, who were admitted singly without escorts. Founding proprietor Boldt became wealthy and prominent internationally, if not so much a popular celebrity as his famous employee, Oscar Tschirky, "Oscar of the Waldorf". Boldt built one of America's most ambitious houses, Boldt Castle, on one of the Thousand Islands. George Boldt's wife, Louise Kehrer Boldt, was influential in evolving the idea of the grand urban hotel as a social center, particularly in making it appealing to women as a venue for social events.
When the new Waldorf Astoria skyscraper was built over air rights of the New York State Realty and Terminal Company on Park Avenue, a cast of well reputed furnishers and decorators was assembled to lend the new hotel a grand yet domestic atmosphere. Former Waldorf manager Lucius M. Boomer had retired to Florida after the original Waldorf-Astoria buildings were demolished, but he retained exclusive rights to the name, which he transferred to the new hotel. Boomer died in an airplane crash in 1947 and Conrad Hilton bought The Waldorf Astoria in 1949.[6]
Spelling of the name[edit]
The hotel was originally known as The Waldorf-Astoria with a single hyphen, as recalled by a popular expression and song, "Meet Me at the Hyphen." The sign was changed to a double hyphen, looking similar to an equals sign, by Conrad Hilton when he purchased the hotel in 1949.[7] The double hyphen visually represents "Peacock Alley", the hallway between the two hotels that once stood where the Empire State building now stands today. The use of the double hyphen was discontinued by parent company Hilton in 2009, shortly after the introduction of the Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts chain.[8] The hotel has since been known as the Waldorf Astoria New York.
Notable residents[edit]

- In 1955, Marilyn Monroe stayed at the hotel for several months, but due to costs of trying to finance her production company "Marilyn Monroe Productions", only being paid $1,500 a week for her role in The Seven Year Itch and being suspended from 20th Century Fox for walking out on Fox after creative differences, living at the hotel became too costly and Monroe had to move into a different hotel in New York City.[11]

Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts[edit]
Following Blackstone Group's acquisition of Hilton Worldwide, Hilton Hotels began establishing a brand of hotels worldwide using the iconic name of the New York hotel in 2007. Currently the chain consists of over 25 hotels worldwide.
International locations include Rome, Berlin, Jeddah, Jerusalem, Beijing, Shanghai, and Dubai. Locations in the United States include Park City, Utah, Naples, Florida, New Orleans, Phoenix, Arizona, and Orlando, near Walt Disney World, which opened on October 1, 2009, 78 years to the day after the New York property opened.[31]
Plans were announced in 2007 for a Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills. Proposed by developer Oasis West Realty LLC, the project would have expanded upon the nine-acre site of the Beverly Hilton (formerly owned by the late Merv Griffin). Plans included removing existing low-rise buildings and adding a 12-story Waldorf-Astoria hotel and a pair of eight and 18 story condo towers. Though the Beverly Hills City Council approved the $500 million project by a 3-2 vote local activists gathered enough signatures to place a referendum on the decision on the November 4, 2008 ballot. A week after the vote local Measure H was losing by 68 votes, with provisional ballots yet to be counted. On December 2, 2008, Yes on H passed by 129 votes, 7972 to 7834. However, the hotel was never built due to the 2008 economic collapse.
A combination hotel and condominium Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and Residence Tower project to be developed by third parties for Hilton in Chicago was announced, but canceled due to the economic collapse as well.[32] In late 2011 it was announced that the Elysian Hotel would be renamed the Waldorf Astoria Chicago, allowing the Waldorf Astoria to have a presence in Chicago.[33]

Hello, Fall! Although it is hard to say goodbye to summer, I am always happy to welcome in my favorite time of year. Fall is a time full of cool (but not freezing!) temperatures, beautiful foliage, apple picking, pumpkin carving and so much more. We all also know that fall is a time to get back on schedule after the summer months and for some, this means refocusing on weight loss efforts.
One recommendation that will always come with weight loss and weight maintenance is dining in. When we prepare our own meals, we can control what we eat and make substitutions as needed to change the nutrient content of our dishes. But do you feel that cooking every night is close to impossible when your week is filled with work, carpools, sports practices and more? Then say hello to the best batch cooking agent out there: the slow cooker.
Slow cookers are a wonderful invention, allowing us to cook simple yet hearty and delicious meals. Many recipes using a slow cooker are one step only — meaning you add all the ingredients at the same time, turn the pot on, and let the magic happen! Not only do you not have to do the work, but the "low and slow" cooking method of allows all of the ingredients to blend together, making the dish very flavorful.
The slow cooker can be used for many different dishes and meals; from chili and stews to homemade breads and oatmeal, this awesome kitchen tool can do just about anything.
Have I convinced you to pull that slow cooker out from the back of the cabinet and start batch cooking? I hope so! Try and take some time during the weekend to make one or two dishes for quick and easy meals for the whole family to enjoy all week long. Here are a couple of recipes to get started!
6 to 8 servings
1 can (14 oz.) diced tomatoes
1 can (14 oz.) pumpkin puree
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 large onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 heaping tsp dried oregano, crushed between fingertips
1 tsp sea or kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 lbs. chicken breast or cutlets, skin and visible fat removed
1 to 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, seeds removed, minced (optional)
2 cans (14 oz. each) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup corn kernels (thaw if frozen)
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Add tomatoes, chicken broth and pumpkin to a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Whisk until well combined; add onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper and chipotles; combine well. Add chicken, chickpeas and corn. Cook 4 to 5 hours on high or 6 to 8 on low.
When ready to serve, remove chicken and chop into bite-size pieces or shred with two forks. Add back to pot, stir in cilantro and serve with low fat/fat free sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, shredded low fat cheddar cheese and green onions.
Recipe adapted from CinnamonSpiceAndEverythingNice.com
7 servings (3/4 cup each)
2 apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 1/2 to 3 cups chopped)
1 1/2 cups fat-free milk (or substitute non-dairy alternative like almond milk)
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup uncooked steel-cut oats
2 Tbsp brown sugar (or sugar substitute like Splenda or Truvia)
1/2 to 1 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp ground flax seed (optional)
1/4 tsp salt
Optional garnishes: chopped nuts, raisins
Coat the inside of 3 1/2-qt. (or larger) slow cooker with cooking spray. Add all ingredients (except optional toppings) to slow cooker. Stir, cover, and cook on low for approximately 7 hours (slow cooker times can vary). Spoon oatmeal into bowls; add optional toppings, if desired. Store leftovers in refrigerator. Note: this dish freezes well.

Summary of X Saves the World Summary of X Saves the World Reviews for X Saves the World An Excerpt from X Saves the World
Read Jeff Gordinier's posts on the Penguin Blog"I loved this book. . . . It's impassioned, very quick on its feet, dense with all the right allusions, funny, and in the end actually very moving."
In this simultaneously hilarious and incisive "manifesto for a generation that's never had much use for manifestos," Gordinier suggests that for the first time since the "Smells Like Teen Spirit"breakthrough of the early 1990s, Gen X has what it takes to rescue American culture from a state of collapse. Over the past twenty years, the so-called "slackers"have irrevocably changed countless elements of our culture-from the way we watch movies to the way we make sense of a cracked political process to the way the whole world does business.
-Nick Hornby
"Ever wonder what became of Generation X, those ironic slackers wedged between the paunchy, tie-dyed boomers and their smug offspring, the millennials? Gordinier's first-person manifesto starts with a thumbnail sketch of '90s disillusionment and ends with a passionate call for social activism."

Your Very Own New Hampshire Resort
Explore Natural New England
Welcome to New England, where the rolling hills of New Hampshire have been a beloved getaway for more than 200 years.

Value-Added Tax rates matter, even if you're getting a refund.
In early January, the Value Added Tax in the United Kingdom rose to its highest level ever, from 17.5 percent to 20 percent. The U.K.'s Coalition Government expects the increase to add £13 billion in revenue to help cut down the country's budget deficit.
Observers believe the VAT increase will have a negative impact on inbound leisure travel. But what about for meetings and conferences? Because much of VAT paid on meeting expenditures is refundable, and you're a planner working with a VAT recovery firm, does the rate increase really rate matter? We asked some of our usual experts. Here's what they had to say:
"It matters," says Nancy Eide, principal, CEI VAT Reclaim, "because you can't get 100 percent of your VAT back in any case, and now the VAT is 2.5 percent higher on everything. Not every expense item has reclaimable VAT and a fee has to be paid to a reclaim service based on the amount of VAT recovered. So your VAT refund will be less than the total VAT you paid." There's a potential silver lining, however, with U.S. dollar strengthening against the British Pound. "I don't think the VAT rate impacts planners' decisions as much as the cost of currency," she says.
Leigh Wintz, CAE, executive director, Soroptimist International of the Americas, agrees that the increase matters. "If you are going to get it back anyway, it might not seem like such a concern," she says. "However, many of us don't budget a refund. Sometimes you can't get it all back, it takes a long time, etc. I believe that any refund is best treated as a windfall. But now you are talking serious money."
In Carol Krugman's view, "It depends." Krugman, CMP, CMM, director, meeting and business event management, at the Metropolitan State College of Denver, says it all comes down to whether or not you have a choice of destination. "Americans planning to travel or organize meetings in the U.K. know from the outset that it is going to be an expensive venture, so there is usually a compelling reason to choose it as one's meeting destination. Now it will just be more expensive. If there is no other choice of destination, they will bear the increased cost."
Organizations on tight budgets that are facing the additional tax burden, she advises, would do well to perform "a review and re-prioritization of expenses. Confirm 'must have' and 'would like to have' budget items, and start eliminating what is not absolutely necessary. This will have a direct effect on your planning, as it will require even more creativity and ingenuity to provide a commensurate experience for attendees with fewer resources."
And, being an optimist, Krugman suggests the VAT increase could be a nonissue if the U.K. ever "follows countries like Mexico and Chile, which exempt VAT charges on many conference-related expenses for foreign groups. Hope springs eternal!"
For a continually updated list of VAT changes worldwide, as well as a chart of tax rates in 20 countries around the world and which business expenses are eligible for VAT refunds for U.S. companies meeting in those countries, visit taxback.com.

New Black Music Repertory Ensemble
Founded in 1999, the Center's current performance organization is the New Black Music Repertory Ensemble, a large ensemble of up to eighty professional musicians. Its mission is as ambitious as it is unique, drawing from the repertoire the Center's three earlier ensembles: the nationally acclaimed Black Music Repertory Ensemble (1987–1996), which presented black music in the written tradition from the eighteenth century to the present; Ensemble Kalinda Chicago (1994–1998), which demonstrated the common origins and shared musical traits of Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latin American musics; and Ensemble Stop-Time (1998–2001), which demonstrated the gamut of twentieth-century black American popular music, ranging from Negro spirituals to ragtime, gospel song, R&B, soul, rap, and all styles and periods of jazz from Jelly Roll Morton to the avant-garde stylings of the AACM.
The New Black Music Repertory Ensemble presents musical performances and lecture-demonstrations that illustrate the vast range of musics from the African diaspora. The varied talents of its musicians provide authentic performances in many different styles, periods, and genres, and in groupings of instrumentalists and singers ranging from solos and duets to string quartets, woodwind quintets, and jazz ensembles of various sizes. This flexibility has resulted in concerts dedicated to the string quartet, solo vocal songs, compositions based on Negro spirituals, instrumental solos, and compositions based on jazz and blues.
From 1998 until his death in early 2004, the New BMRE was under the artistic and musical direction of Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson.

Child Anxiety Prevention Study
Children of anxious parents are two to seven times more likely to develop serious problems with anxiety. In an effort to reduce the risk to these children, we are evaluating whether a short-term intervention (8 one-hour sessions) entitled, Coping and Promoting Strength (CAPS) can reduce children's anxiety and/or prevent them from developing an anxiety disorder.
We are currently recruiting participants for this study. As part of the study, you will receive a free evaluation of your child. Eligible families will receive additional free evaluations over the course of the study (approximately 1 year) and may earn up to $75 for participation. There is no medication involved and the program is free of charge.
You are eligible for our study if you are a parent who reports significant problems with anxiety or have ever been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and have a child between the ages of 7 and 12 who does not have an anxiety disorder (though some amount of anxiety is okay).

Ask 11 Questions as an Admitted Graduate Student
Make a spreadsheet and weigh financial aid offers to decide which graduate school to attend.
As a prospective graduate school student, you were in the driver's seat when deciding where you would apply. Once you submitted your applications, you turned the wheel over to the institutions and admissions committees.
Now that you have been admitted, you are once again in the driver's seat. You get to decide whether to accept the offer.
Last week we discussed seven ways students should respond after being admitted to graduate school, but there's another important thing you can do if you're struggling to decide between schools: Create a "comparison shopping" spreadsheet.
[Explore ways to pay for graduate school.]
Remember the spreadsheet you created when initially investigating various graduate school options? Now is a good time to expand it or create a new spreadsheet. You might use some of the following as your evaluation questions.
• Was I notified of my admission when the admissions office said I would be?
• How soon after I was admitted did I receive another contact from the institution?
• Did a student or alumnus call me to offer congratulations and to offer help?
• How often am I being contacted? It is too much? Too little?
• How long did it take me to get an estimated annual budget?
• Will I receive financial aid? If so, what type: scholarships, fellowships, loans, work-study, a graduate assistantship, or a stipend?
• How much information am I receiving about courses or programs of study?
[Prepare to attend graduate school with these tips.]
• What did I think of my post-admission campus visit?
• How friendly or helpful have the faculty, staff, and students been since I was admitted?
• Is the information I am receiving really helpful to me?
• If I am coming with a spouse or partner, or with family, how accommodating and inclusive is the institution?
As you did before, put the names of the institutions to which you have been admitted on the left hand column of your spreadsheet and your various evaluation questions across the top. Give each institution a grade for each item. As you do this, you will start seeing some themes emerge.
You might be thinking, "Does this really make a difference in my final enrollment decision?" The answer is yes. When I served as dean of admissions, we invited admitted students to come to visit campus for the weekend. Nine times out of ten, these admits were deciding between several admission offers.
[Explore graduate school loan options.]
This is a very good time to evaluate how you are treated. Does the admitted student follow-up experience make you feel wanted, included and well informed? Is the pre-enrollment process informative, efficient, and welcoming? If so, great. If not, perhaps you need to think more seriously about submitting your deposit.
Remember, this is your graduate education. It is your time, energy, financial resources, and career that is most important. Others may have input for you, but in the end, you need to attend the institution you believe is best for you. If you have done your homework, taken time to do some comparison shopping, and honestly evaluated each program, in most cases the best choice for you will become clear. Follow your inner wisdom and make the enrollment deposit.
Each year while I was at University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, students attending the school's weekend for admitted students came up to me with their enrollment deposit checks in hand. As they gave me the checks, they typically said something along these lines: "Chicago Booth was one of several options for me, and to be honest, it was not my first choice—that is, until now. The treatment I have received since being admitted, coupled with this weekend, has caused Booth to rise to the top on my list. I look forward to seeing you in the fall!"

Teenagers plead innocent to slew of charges from vandalism spreeFebruary 04,2013Three teenagers allegedly responsible for a vandalism spree that damaged more than 100 vehicles, businesses and homes in the city late last month pleaded innocent Monday morning to a slew of felony and misdemeanor charges
According to court records, Jacob Ells, 18, of West Rutland, Cade Bowen, 17, of Castleton, and Cody Vanguilder, 17, of West Rutland, appeared in Rutland's criminal court to answer to three counts of felony unlawful mischief, 17 misdemeanor counts of unlawful mischief and a misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment.
The trio was arrested Jan. 24 after police said an investigation revealed they were responsible for a rash of vandalism caused by pellet guns resulting in more than $55,000 in damages.
The three teenagers were released on conditions and are expected to be in court again March 4.

Local dietitians break down eight nutrition mythsFARGO - Every day it seems like there's a new health headline that contradicts the last: Coffee's good for you. No, it's bad for you! Eat fewer carbs. No, eat more! Kale's the new superfood. No, it's the blueberry!
By: Meredith Holt, INFORUM
FARGO - Every day it seems like there's a new health headline that contradicts the last: Coffee's good for you. No, it's bad for you! Eat fewer carbs. No, eat more! Kale's the new superfood. No, it's the blueberry!
Most dietitians would agree on a couple basic principles of proper nutrition, such as "eat a wide variety of foods" and "eat everything in moderation," but beyond that, it can be downright confusing.
Elizabeth Hilliard of North Dakota State University's department of health, nutrition and exercise sciences and Lindsay Vettleson of Fargo's IMA Healthcare break down eight of the most common nutrition myths.
Myth 1: Sea salt is a healthier version of regular salt.
Hilliard and Vettleson say sea salt and regular salt contain the same amount of sodium chloride, which means they have similar amounts of sodium.
Hilliard, an assistant professor, says sea salt is considered healthier because it's "less processed" and does contain some trace minerals, but table salt is fortified with iodine, which is essential for normal thyroid function.
Dietitian Vettleson says the difference is in the taste and texture, which comes down to personal preference, and both recommend limiting daily sodium intake no matter which type you prefer.
Myth 2: Egg yolks raise your cholesterol.
Yes, egg yolks contain cholesterol, Hilliard says, but they're also an excellent source of protein, choline (needed for cognitive development), lutein and zeaxanthin (which help prevent macular degeneration).
Besides, Vettleson says the U.S. Department of Agriculture recently stated that an egg has less dietary cholesterol than previously thought (185 milligrams versus 213 milligrams).
Per the American Heart Association, the recommended total dietary cholesterol intake should be less than 300 milligrams per day, and less than 200 milligrams per day for those with high cholesterol.
"Try incorporating more egg whites along with one egg yolk in your breakfast omelet," Vettleson suggests.
Myth 3: Chocolate is bad for you.
Chocolate gets its bad rap from its typically high amounts of calories, fat and sugar, but it also contains flavonoids, which act as antioxidants.
"Antioxidants protect our cells from being damaged and therefore can have a protective effect against heart disease," Hilliard says.
Dark chocolate contains more flavonoids than milk or white chocolate, so look for chocolate with 65 percent or more cocoa content, both recommend.
Myth 4: Trans-fat free foods are actually trans-fat free.
The Food and Drug Administration allows foods to be labeled as trans-fat free if they contain less than 0.5 grams trans fat per serving, so a food could contain 0.49 grams trans fat per serving and be labeled as trans-fat free.
"This is extremely deceiving, as most people eat more than one serving at a sitting," Vettleson says.
Hilliard and Vettleson recommend checking labels and ingredient lists for hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils in order to avoid trace amounts of trans fat.
Myth 5: Bananas are the best source of potassium.
Vettleson says bananas are a good source of potassium, but not the best. One medium banana contains 465 milligrams, but according to the USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference:
• One potato contains 1,081 milligrams
• 1 cup legumes or lentils, 800-1,000 milligrams
• 1 cup of winter squash contains 900 milligrams
• 1 cup spinach, 839 milligrams
• 1 cup yogurt, 530 grams
"Diets high in potassium can help reduce the risk of hypertension and stroke," she adds.
Myth 6: Oranges are the best source of vitamin C.
Again, oranges are a good source of vitamin C, with 96 milligrams per cup, but it's not the best. Hilliard and Vettleson both point to the little red strawberry as proof.
"A cup of strawberry halves has about 89 milligrams of vitamin C and only 49 calories. So, for fewer calories, you can get more vitamin C with strawberries," Hilliard says.
Other suggestions include:
• 1 cup peaches, 250 milligrams
• 1 cup red peppers, 190 milligrams
"Vitamin C is an antioxidant, antihistamine, and helps build immune function," Vettleson adds.
Myth 7: Granola is good for you.
Oats, granola's primary ingredient, ARE good for you; it's how they're processed and what's added to them that makes the difference.
"What most people don't realize about granola is that it can contain large amounts of calories, fat and sugar," Hilliard says.
A quarter-cup of granola has 150 calories and 7 grams of fat, she says, whereas a quarter-cup of Cheerios has only 28 calories and 0.5 grams fat.
Myth 8: Meat is bad for you.
Meat serves several functions for those who choose to eat it.
"Meat contains essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. These amino acids help build and maintain muscle mass. Meat is also high in iron, which helps transport oxygen in the body. It breaks down slower than carbohydrate foods to help increase satiety (feeling of fullness) after meals," Vettleson says.
In order to reap the benefits while keeping fat and cholesterol in check, Hilliard offers the following suggestions:
• Choose leaner cuts of meat by getting extra-lean meats that are at least 90 percent lean.
• Choose cuts that are labeled as "Choice" or "Select" instead of "Prime" (prime tends to have more fat).
• When choosing poultry, select white meat, not dark. Also, be careful with ground poultry, as dark meat is often added to add flavor. Make sure to choose ground poultry that is low-fat (at least 90 percent lean).
• When preparing meats, cut off visible fat before cooking and drain fat from the pan after cooking.

1. Dodgers (2): They were 30-42 on June 21. Do the math. Hanley Ramirez, Yasiel Puig and the big-money lineup tend to get the attention, but they're winning mostly with pitching, holding opponents to 2.9 runs per game since the All-Star break.
2. Tigers (1): Survived a tough week by going 4-4 against the Royals and White Sox. Max Scherzer's win on Sunday made him 18-1, matching Elroy Face (1959) for the best winning percentage in a season.
3. Braves (3): Tyler Pastornicky's blown-out left knee is an untimely injury with Dan Uggla out after Lasik surgery on his eyes. GM Frank Wren is looking for a short-term second baseman.
4. Red Sox (5): Tough loss for Jake Peavy on Friday against Mark Buehrle. Jon Lester and Peavy flew to San Francisco ahead of the team to be rested for their starts against the Giants.

5. Pirates (4): Clint Hurdle's team brought the Cardinals and Reds back into the NL Central race by losing seven of nine against the Diamondbacks, Cardinals and Rockies. Played 15 extra innings in three tough losses last week.
6. Rangers (6): Yu Darvish's remarkable season continues. But could he tire, as he did in 2012? He made his fourth 120-pitch start Sunday, matching C.J. Wilson for the most in the majors.
7. Reds (7): Like the Braves, this is a very balanced team that won't be fun to face in the playoffs. Johnny Cueto, slow to regain his strength after straining a lat muscle, isn't expected back for at least two more weeks, probably longer.
8. Cardinals (11): Yadier Molina's return made a big difference in their weekend series with the Cubs.
9. Rays (9): Rookie Wil Myers was hitting .311 with nine homers and 37 RBIs in 50 games entering the series in Baltimore, and his numbers have been even better in the second half. They bounced back from a six-game losing streak by winning four of five.
10. Orioles (8): Closer Jim Johnson has a majors-high nine blown saves, two more than Fernando Rodney and the Cubs' James Russell. The Orioles are 1-8 when Johnson blows a save. They would be on almost equal footing with the Red Sox if they had won four of those games.
11. Diamondbacks (13): Paul Goldschmidt is going to finish high in NL MVP voting.
12. Athletics (12): Switch hitter Alberto Callaspo has been a nice addition, even if a lot of analysts like the Angels' end of the trade. For all the hype, Grant Green hasn't shown he can hit big-league pitching.
13. Royals (10): Monday's off day followed stretch of 21 games in 20 days. Ned Yost loves how his team has gone 19-8 since July 23, climbing into the fringe of the AL wild-card race.
14. Yankees (15): Ichiro Suzuki has 3,997 hits between Japan and the big leagues.
15. Indians (14): Not the same threat since they got swept in a four-game series by the Tigers.
16. Nationals (18): Stephen Strasburg's ejection for throwing behind Andrelton Simmons is another low point in a season full of them.
17. Giants (20): Brandon Belt's second half will be one reason for Bruce Bochy to be optimistic when 2014 arrives.
18. Blue Jays (16): Josh Johnson, sidelined with a 2-8 record and 6.20 ERA, will be an interesting free agent in the offseason. He's the kind of guy the Cubs could pursue on a one-year deal to allow him to restore his value.
19. Mets (17): Matt Harvey is slowing down, but just a little. His 1711/3 innings are a career high. He projects to 227 innings, but there's no good reason to extend him much beyond 200.
20. Angels (19): Dropped two of three to the Astros. The time is coming when owner Arte Moreno will have to choose between Mike Scioscia and GM Jerry Dipoto. Status quo doesn't look like a good option.

They had charged us for Thursday even though our room was booked for Friday, they did resolve the issue but i waited for 15-20 minutes for them to fix it and instead of telling me they were sorry for the inconvinece, they didnt say anything until they handed me my keys.

We have a series of JSL scripts that export our ad banners in both SWG and GIF format. The GIFs are compiled by exporting each of the 3 frames of the SWF as PNG images then a .jsx script runs in Photoshop and compiles them into a GIF.
This all worked fine in Flash CS4. Running the script on FLAs in FLash CS5.5 produces this error at the PNG export stage:
The bitmap is too large. The largest bitmap that can be created is 8000x8000 pixels.
The line of code that triggers this error is:
fl.getDocumentDOM().exportPNG((pngPath+resName+".png"), true, false);
The path variables are fine and produce a valid path (see below). As you know the first boolean states whether to 'use current PNG export settings' (true) or to show the settings dialog on export (false). The second Boolean states whether to export only the current frame (true) or all frames in the SWF (false).
If I change the 'use current PNG export settings' to false and show the export dialog and OK the default values the export runs fine (which is how I know there is no issue with the export path).
Showing the dialog box on each export is not acceptable because we have over 10,000 of these banners to export over the next couple of months.
I'd like to know:
[1] Is this an actual bug?
[2] Can anyone suggest a workaround?
To reproduce this behaviour create an FLA in CS4, make 3 keyframes, draw a filled rectangle (or whatever) on each frame then save it somewhere (ie C:\test.fla)
Then create a Flash JavaScript file, paste the following code into it and save it in the same location as the FLA. (ie C:\script.jsfl)
exportPath = fl.scriptURI.substr(0,fl.scriptURI.lastIndexOf("/"))+"/";
fl.getDocumentDOM().exportPNG(exportPath+"Frame.png", TRUE, FALSE);
The first line of code here just gets the location of the jsfl file and removes the filename to give an export path.
The second line export each frame to the same location as the FLA and JSFL files.
This should run fine in CS4 and you will see the following in your save location:
If you change the first boolean in the export command to FALSE and run the script again you should see the PNG export settings dialog box and when you OK it you will get the same export result.
Now open the FLA and JSFL files in CS5.5 and run the JSFL. With the boolean set to TRUE you should get an error (the 8000px error), however if you set it to FALSE so that you get the settings dialog when you OK it the export will run fine.
Change it back to TRUE and you will get an error again.
I also found that switching the 'current frame only' flag (second Boolean) to TRUE works fine in CS5.5 - it only complains about the bitmap size if I try to export a series of frames, it's fine with just one frame.
This means, of course, that a workaround is to loop through the frames and export each one, which is fine and works OK but it takes 10 seconds compared to the split second that CS4 takes to export the series.
10,000 x 10 extra seconds = 27.77 extra hours of publish time!
Just downloaded the Flash Professional CS6 trial and the same thing happens.
Guess I'll just have to put this down to a bug that's not going away any time soon.
We're now on the hunt for CS4 licenses for a couple of new machines that will be used to export these banners.
