Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
16 Jun 2012 03:53 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Syria
The head of the UN observers in Syria has said a spike in violence is derailing the mission, which is the only functioning part of an international peace plan to calm the country's spiralling crisis.
Major General Robert Mood on Friday blamed both sides of the conflict for the escalating bloodshed.
"Violence over the past 10 days has been intensifying willingly by both parties, with losses on both sides and significant risks for observers," Mood told reporters in Damascus.
He said the escalating violence is now limiting the mission's ability "to observe, verify, report as well as assist in local dialogue and stability projects".
Mood's comments were the clearest sign yet that a peace plan brokered by international envoy Kofi Annan two months ago is disintegrating.

The regime and the opposition have both ignored a truce that was supposed to go into effect on April 12.
The government kept up a ferocious offensive on rebel areas around the country on Friday in one of the most serious escalations in violence since Annan brokered the truce.
'Raging battles'
An activist in the northern city of Aleppo said troops backed by helicopters and tanks were engaged in "raging battles" in the rebel-held town of Anadan and several other locations in the province.
Syrian troops have been sweeping through villages and towns in Syria's northern, central, southern and seaside provinces this week.
The military on Wednesday overran the town of al-Hiffa in the coastal Latakia province, pushing out hundreds of rebels after intense battles that lasted eight days.
UN observers entered the nearly deserted town on Thursday and found smoldering buildings, looted shops, smashed cars and a strong stench of death, according to UN spokeswoman Sausan Ghosheh.
The siege of Hiffa, a Sunni-populated village, had become a focus of international concern because of fears the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad is evolving into a sectarian civil war pitting his minority Alawite sect against the majority Sunnis and other groups.
Recent mass killings in other Sunni-populated areas have fed those concerns.
UN observers have reported a steep rise in violence and a dangerous shift in tactics by both sides in Syria in recent weeks.
Car bombings and suicide bombings have become increasingly common as the 15-month uprising against Assad becomes militarised.
Most have targeted security buildings and police buses, symbols of Assad's regime.
Abusive tactics
Also on Friday, Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported that Syrian government forces have used sexual violence to torture men, women, girls and boys detained during the current conflict,
The New York-based group said it had interviewed 10 former detainees, including two women, who described being sexually abused or witnessing such abuse in detention.
Live Box 2011421105226899357
This included "rape, penetration with objects, sexual groping, prolonged forced nudity and electroshock and beatings to genitalia", a statement said.
Many witnesses said they were imprisoned because of their political activism, while others said the reasons for detention were unclear but that detainees suffered the same abusive tactics.
"Sexual violence in detention is one of many horrific weapons in the Syrian government's torture arsenal and Syrian security forces regularly use it to humiliate and degrade detainees with complete impunity," said Sarah Leah Whitson, HRW's Middle East director.
Activists say about 14,000 people have been killed since the uprising against Assad began in March 2011.
State-run news agency SANA reported that authorities had arrested an al-Qaeda terrorist who planned to blow himself up in a Damascus mosque during Friday prayers. It identified the man as Mohammad Hussam al-Sudaqi.

Three years since the start of the uprising, nine million people have been displaced by fighting.
As a negotiated transition in Syria seems increasingly unlikely, we ask if there is an alternative to the UN peace plan.

Achievement Guide
-Estimated achievement difficulty: 6/10
-Offline: 37 (840)
-Online: 8 (160)
-Approximate amount of time to 1000: 60-70 hours
-Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1
-Number of missable achievements: 0
-Glitched achievements: 0
-Do cheat codes disable achievements? Yes
Overall the achievements are fairly easy. There are a few that are very time consuming, but overall as long as you practise the driving enough you should experience no major issues.
Welcome to Midnight Club: LA, the game has a total of 45 achievements which are done over one continuous play through. There is no end to your game, even after credits roll, you keep playing on your same save. I would advise getting to grips with motorbike handling as when the ninja is unlocked it will make the achievements a lot easier
Step #1:
There is no real focus on what to do specifically at first really. Missions will help get money and better vehicles and then attempt the race X number of X races. Refer to step #2 for achievements to ignore until you have unlocked the Ninja (Motorbike). The quickest achievements for quick gamer score are:
Wanted Man, Out On Bail, The Basics, Saving Los Angeles, Paparazzi, Turn in the Work, Everyone's a Critic
Step #2:
Once you have unlocked the ninja or a very fast car you can focus on the following:
Neither Bird nor Plane, Mild Dedication, True Dedication
Step #3;
Multiplayer: You can do the multiplayer achievements any time, but I would advise waiting until you have unlocked the ninja or a fast car as it makes them easier or just boost them all in any vehicle. Boosting will be sped up if you have a faster vehicle to play with.
Mop Up:
By the time you finish True Dedication and all the multiplayer you will most likely just have one achievement left to drive 5000 Miles. This is where the grinding comes in of driving around until unlocked or racing if you prefer
Overall the game is not too hard once you get to grips with driving. The only time consuming part is True dedication and Have Car, Will Travel which boosts up the time requirement
Wanted Man 10 Pull over while the police are in 'pull over' mode, then drive away during the ticketing cutscene.
When the police start chasing you and it says 'pull over' in the bottom left you should pull over. It will go to a cutscene in which you are looking at yourself through the police cars camara. Press to accelerate and you should unlock this. Police unlocked after a few races
Out On Bail 10 Evade the police successfully when they are in pursuit.
When in chase by the police you must lose line of sight from them and stay hidden until they give up. Police unlocked after a few races
Neither Bird nor Plane 10 Travel 1020 feet in a single jump.
This is done on the right side of the map. There is a double loop and above that a single loop. It is done from the single loop. Go all the way around it and straight on keeping to the right. When the road goes downhill there will be a lot of steps infront of you to jump from. Fast bike/car needed with Nitros. Can be done in race editor which will allow you to drive without cops or traffic. Refer to "Waldo's Still Missing" achievement for details on using race editor. Video not made by me:
Jordan Jumpman 10 Spend more than 10 minutes in the air. Brought to you by JORDAN BRAND.
Hit jumps around the city. You will unlock it after 10 minutes airtime. You get the gamerpic of the achievement once you get this. Be sure you are on live when you unlock it to make sure you get it

On a motorbike hold + Down on the whilst accelerating. After 50 miles worth of wheelies this will unlock. Can be done in race editor which will allow you to drive without cops or traffic. Refer to "Waldo's Still Missing" achievement for details on using race editor. Recommend the Freeway going anti clockwise on the right side of the road
Just Get A Motorcycle 20 In a car, drive a cumulative total of 50 miles on 2 wheels.
In a car hold + Right/left on the whilst accelerating and you will start driving on 2 wheels. After 50 miles worth of 2 wheel driving this will unlock.

Recommend the Freeway going anti clockwise on the right side of the road

You go to the garage and choose a car to test drive IF you have the South Central Premium DLC. Besides don't post it again because it mentions in the guide.
-for Crossing The Line. it can be races or battle matches
-for Ranking Up. It MUST be races won even though the description on the achievement says matches.
maybe consider the changes just to clarify for some people.
For you 1st Guide. I would have to put it with some of the best.

I modified crossing the line. Thanks for pointing out battles count as I was not aware.
I already specified race in ranked matches for ranking up. Judging by your response that does not make it clear it has to be races. I thought it was?

For Postman achievement
the best way is to play basewar but the best map is RIVER RUSH(much shorter than highway 101)
For crossing the line
best way IMO:
Go to private match basewar and host river rush. Set point limit to 1.Then player 1 should wait at start and player 2 should go for flag. After capturing it player 1 steal flag and return it. It takes under one minute for 1 match. After that you can stay in lobby and start same match.
I hope you understand part about crossing the line
For beating champs
you have to win 35 races in the SAME CAR !!!
So if you win 30 races in one tuner car and another 30 races in second tuner car champ for this class won't challenge you. I sugest you to go to statistics and vehicle statistics and there when number of wins hits 35 you will get challenged by champ.
Hardest retail completed:
Ninja Gaiden 2(1250/1250)
Devil may cry 4 (1000/1000)

A little clarification on the "racing the champs" of specific vehicle types... Once you finish the main campaign and you have unlocked all the relative upgrades for each car class.. you will get challenged by the champs. If you haven't unlocked everything for a specific type of car (ie: luxury, exotic etc) just do some arcade races (I recommend 'Welcome to Hollywood') and win until you see the "Widebody" accessory unlock, which is generally 30+ wins. You should get challenged after that!

Hey forum-goers!
I was just wondering what you have to do to unlock the Ninja? Like are there certain races or series you have to win or does it have to do with rep? Any help would be appreciated.

Is it just me or is this game impossible? I can do the green races but not anything above that and I have bought all the upgrades for my car that I can but I still am a lot slower than everyone else and I don't have anywhere near enough money to afford a new car.

Master Thief 30 Steal 80 flags while playing Capture the Flag or other battle matches.
Go into a player or ranked battle match online. A flag will be on the radar to pick up. When an opponent has it drive into them to steal it. Do this 80 times. Can be boosted easily by driving into each other over and over.
For this you can capture a flag & then have your vehicles touching each other & the flag will transfer back & forth on it's own

Iran unveiled what it said was a new, domestically built fighter jet on Saturday, local media reported.President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said at a ceremony in Tehran that the Qaher 313 demonstrated Iran's growing self-reliance in the field of military technology.Iran's functional air force has been limited to perhaps as few as a few dozen strike aircraft, either Russian or aging US models acquired before the 1979 Iranian revolution.The Islamic Republic, under an international arms embargo, has long struggled to find spare parts and some military experts say the fleet is outdated."This advanced fighter jet with unique physical characteristics has a very low radar cross section and therefore is capable of operating at low altitudes," Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said of the Qaher 313, according to Mehr news agency.Tensions in the region have simmered over Tehran's nuclear program. Israel has threatened to bomb its nuclear sites if diplomacy and sanctions fail to stop Iranian nuclear activity the West suspects is aimed at developing a weapons capability.Iran denies the weapons charge, saying it seeks only electricity and medical isotopes."Now the speed of Iran's development in science and technology does not depend on circumstances, it depends on our will," Ahmadinejad said on Saturday in remarks carried on state television. "We should set higher targets. We see that it is possible, we have the capabilities.""This project carries the message of brotherhood, peace, and security and it doesn't pose any threat to anyone. There is no intention to interfere in any other country's affairs," he said.Iran often holds military drills and announces weapons advances that it says are for purely deterrent purposes, though some analysts are skeptical of such reported advances because they cannot be independently verified.Western sanctions levied on Iran's energy and banking sectors have damaged its economy and limited oil sales, a major source of revenue for the government. But Tehran has shown no sign of backing down from what it says is its right to enrich uranium for civilian uses.Iran is commemorating the 34th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic revolution that toppled the US-backed Shah in 10 days of events that began on Thursday.

Flamingo Hilton, Las Vegas
35 Reviews
35 Reviews
I looked at the flamingos, and thought: - They must be suffering under this 42 degrees Celsius in the shade. Then I looked further and saw... the penguins!
Well done dolls, I thought! But... they were moving. They were real. Looking closer, the inevitable: all the lake and rocks were refrigerated.
Indeed, the real animals give life to a well conceived garden, surrounding the several pools, to provide a pleasant stay.
The Flamingo is not the high end hotel, it looks very old and worn but located right in the middle of the Strip and the price is unbeatable.
It was the 3rd resort to open on the Strip (1946), and now days it's the oldest resort on the Strip still in operation.
This Hotel has 3,626 rooms and 77,000 sq ft (7,200 m2) casino, it's garden courtyard housing a wildlife habitat which featuring flamingos.
Note: Bugsy Siegel (1906-1947) was an American gangster and a major driving force behind large-scale development of the Las Vegas Valley.
This is a lovely way to stroll along a path and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. This wildlife habitat, consist of flamingos, swans, ducks, Kio and turtles. Each creature is in his or hers authentic environment and the plants have been imported here from all around the world. Another wonderful aspect is the spectacular waterfalls grace most of the lush pool areas. Penguin feeding daily at 3:00 pm.
Pools here consist of being surrounded by 15 acres of lush tropical landscapes. What we saw looks really cool and fun. Each of the pools connects by using a water slides to get to the next one and some offer some pretty spectacular waterfalls.
This place is even more beautiful at night, but be careful.
The Flamingo has a very nice Wildlife Habitat where you can meander and get away from the frenzy of activity on The Strip while you're on The Strip. It's a lovely area, with flamingos and various other birds and plants that make it quite relaxing. There's also an area between the pool and a wedding chapel with a memorial plaque to Bugsy Siegel who originally founded the hotel, with a bit of information/history about him and the hotel. Interestingly odd, in such a setting. But part of the history.
Being a Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville fan, I was SO excited when I discovered the casino!! I had the morning to myself (the four of us travelling all wanted to do different things) and I'd planned to meet my sister at Margaritaville for a few cocktails before we met up with Mum & Dad.
We walked in to the casino from the strip and were overjoyed! The atmosphere that we love so much about the Margaritaville bar and resturant was emulated in this casino.
If you know some of Jimmy Buffet's songs you will be able to see where the ideas have come from - It's 5 o'clock somewhere (the Alan Jackson hit feturing Jimmy Buffet) is heavily featured, which is great for me!!
'Pour me something tall and strong, make it a hurricane before I go insane. It's only half past 10, but I don't care . . . . it's 5 o'clock somewhere.' Sorry got carried away singing!!!
Great slots, all the newest around and plenty of tables. It's not as big as other casino's, but it does lead directly in the Flamingo casino, so you won't get bored any time soon.
Give it a go - it's a good fun! And have a cocktail for me!!
The flamingo was one of the Pioneers of the Las Vegas Gambling Circuit and traces it's history to the early 40's. Remember Bugsy Siegel? (the famous mobster in the 40's), he made the joint popular but it went bust and he got whacked by his associates. The Casino actually got it's name from Siegel's then Girlfriend who was nicknamed "FLAMINGO". Since then, the casino had several ownership changes and in Hilton had the longest but they sold it in 2005 to Harrah's Entertainment (which became Ceasar's Entertainment). Since the 1940's, the flamingo had several renovations the last was in 2009 and at present, it has 3,626 rooms and has a 77,000 square feet of gaming space that has Blackjack, Blazing Sevens, Caribbean Stud Poker, Craps, Million-dollar Keno, Let It Ride, Pai Gow Poker, Poker, Roulette, 2,100 Slots, Megabucks and Super Megabucks.
Besides the gambling, why is Las Vegas very popular and unique? I guess, the neon lights! These are absolutely mesmerizing at night! I just love getting on top of the double decker bus and tour around the Las Vegas Boulevard.
The first time I was here, I love watching the flickering lights of the neon lights. Each and every hotel has a different style. The best one that I like are the neon lights of the Flamingo Hotel. If you go to Las Vegas, you will then agree with me. Or may be not.
One of the nice (and importantly, FREE) things to do in Vegas is to take a little stroll around the Flamingo gardens where a flock of pretty pink Chilean flamingos reside along with an assortment of other birds, fish and turtles.
I'm a big fan of furry and feathered friends so this was right up my street. If you have a phobia of birds though (as one of my friends does) I wouldn't advise it as the birds are all free roaming.
Another free attraction for your Vegas trip. I thought this habitat was okay. There are more than 300 birds (Chilean Flamingos, African Penguins, Swans, and Ducks). There are also Koi and Turtles there too. It's great to see once. If you really want to be blown away, go to Sea World in San Diego, CA. This habitat is located where the pools are. The Flamingo says that the habitat is opened 24-hours a day, but actually they put the animals away at night. So don't visit it at night! The penguins are fed daily at 8:25am & 2:55pm!
Dating back to 1946, the Flamingo is the oldest hotel and casino on the Strip. Back when Freemont Street was the place to go in Vegas, a man named Billy Wilkerson bought some land on Las Vegas Blvd with the idea of opening the city's biggest hotel and casino. He soon received support from none other than Meyer Lansky and his associate, Bugsy Siegel. The Flamingo didn't do too well when it first opened, and Bugsy actually lost his life over it. Things eventually picked up, and I guess it would be fair to say that the Las Vegas Strip would not be what it is today if it hadn't been for the Flamingo.
I was very curious to see this historic hotel (although not much remains of the original structure), but I have to say that the blazing pink neon lights almost made me want to change my mind! We still went in and after walking around for a while, we discovered the Flamingo's wildlife habitat :o) Of course, flamingos hold a prime spot in this tropical-like habitat, but Koi fish, waterfowl and turtles can also be seen. There is also a nice waterfall where I'm sure every tourist has had his or her picture taken - including me!
A nice way to spend an hour or so is to visit the Wildlife area in the Hilton Flamingo Hotel.
Really well layed out with miniature bridges crossing small streams and all sorts of birds and wildlife to watch and photograph.
Ideal for all ages...and its free!!
located near the swimming pool at the flamingo is a plaque commemorating the gangster bernard "bugsy" siegal as one of the founders of the modern day las vegas strip. the mob is long gone from the vegas strip and the hotels and casinos are now owned by wall street and multinational corporations. directly behind the flamingo pool is a high rise time share condo. this condo was built on the site of bugsy siegal's house in the 1980's.
the original flamingo is one of the oldest casinos on the strip. it was built by bernard "bugsy" siegal in 1946. the original casino cost $6 million which was a huge amount of money for that time. the construction was fiananced by the new york mob. the flamingo's grand opening in 1947 was attended by hollywood stars such as clark gable, lana turner, joan crawford, and caesar romero. the flamingo did not turn a profit immediately and the mob "hit" siegal. near the swimming pool is a plaque commemorating bugsy siegal as one of the founders of las vegas' modern day strip. the flamingo has been revovated and expanded over the years and is now one of the strip's most popular casinos.
In summer of 2006, Toni Braxton started a semi annual stand at the Flamingo Showroom at the Flamingo hotel. In August, I went to see her and frankly, I was floored. Let me set something straight. I can't say I was a Toni Braxton fan before I saw the show. I am a Rolling Stones and Beatles kind of guy. But I wanted to see a live show when I was in Vegas and Toni was at my hotel and I always thought she was a gorgeous lady with a great voice. So I brought a ticket and I ended up being seated in the front row. In fact I could practically reach out and touch Toni for much of the show, for a ticket that cost a little over a hundred dollars (cheap by Vegas standards). She was fantastic. For practically two hours, without a break, she belted out her hits and a lot more. And her voice is just as good live as it is in the recordings...like an opera singer. She's tiny, maybe 5 foot two....and sexy as hell at age 39. The show's theme is supposed to be structured around her life...her career or something. The concept was lost on me...then again I didn't follow her career till I saw the show...however it didn't really matter. There were plenty of set and costume changes in the the vein of a great Las Vegas show. Toni had these beautiful dancers to accompany her in routines, but dancing is not Toni's strong suit here (I am told its almost impossible to sing and dance well at the same time). Finally she interacted well with the audience, even singing an impromtu duet with a gawky 50+ year old New Jersey school teacher who jumped up from the audience. His mastery of the lyrics stunned her. Being close to the stage was definately worth the price and Toni genuinely tried to connect to the audience. I go to a lot of live concerts and this was truly one of the best I have ever been to... I would see her again if I go back to Vegas. She is appearing throughout the summer of 2007.
Thr flamingo Hotel is typical fare as far as las vegas goes. There is the usual bars, clubs, pool and restaurants that you'll be able to find in any other hotel on the strip. What the flamingo hotel is lacking is something unique or interesting to set it apart from the other larger and newer resorts on the strip. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing with the Flamingo its just that there are more intersting hotels that deserve your attention.

Senate probes failure of poverty eradication programmes
The Senate on Thursday mandated its committee on National Planning and Economic Development to investigate the effectiveness of poverty reduction interventions in the country.
This followed a motion submitted by Senator Olubunmi Adetunmbi (Ekiti North) and 36 others, entitled, "Economic growth and worsening inequality in Nigeria: A call for new approaches to poverty reduction."
Adetunmbi in his lead debate noted that the 2011 Human Development report was released by United Nations Development Programme in November 2011.
He noted that the report contained Human Development Index (HDI) that had become globally accepted as a broader definition of well-being and provided a composite measure of three basic dimension of human development namely health, education and income.
The lawmaker said that he is worried that the country's HDI is 0.459, which gives the country a rank of 156 out of 187 countries.
He said that the average HDI of sub-Sahara Africa region increased from 0.365 in 1980 to 0.463 currently placing the country below the African regional average.
Nigeria, he said, was displaced by 14 countries from its 142nd position in 2010.
Adetunmbi noted that the country's HDI is the lowest among oil producing countries and occupies the unenviable status of low human development category with Angola slightly ahead of Nigeria in Gross Domestic Product (GDP)/ capita, adult literacy, primary school enrolment and health adjusted life expectancy.
He listed Haiti (0.454); Zimbabwe (0.376); Sudan (0.408); Eritrea (0.349); Sierra Leone (0.336) and Liberia (0.329) as some other countries in the low category.
Nigeria's impressive annual real GDP growth rate, he noted, averaged 9.2 per cent between 2009 and 2010.
The Action Congress of Nigeria lawmaker said that correspondingly, over the same period, absolute poverty incidence remained high, rising from 42.7 per cent in 1992 to 65.6 per cent in 1996.

excellent history book the best on this subject,
This review is from: The Creationists: From Scientific Creationism to Intelligent Design (Paperback)
An excellent review of the history of the Creationist movement from early old earth apologetics to the 7 day adventists, Creation science and Intelligent design movements. Without riddicule the topic is treated with critical fairness. If you want to understand the thinking behind various creationist groups here is a good place to start. At 431 pages its not easy reading but its thorough with plenty of references for further reading. As a ex-member of a 'creation science' group I can see nothing to fault its description of the history and enjoyed the tone of constructive criticism and respectful treatment of the people behind the 'movement'.

Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry: The Synthesis, Reactions, Properties, and Applications of Coordination Compounds, vol 5, Late Transition Elements.
Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry: The Synthesis, Reactions, Properties, and Applications of Coordination Compounds. Volume 3: Main Group and Early Transition Elements. Volume 4: Middle Transition Elements. Edited by Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson (Pergamon Press, Maxwell House, Fairview Park, Elmsford, New York 10523, 1987. 1601 pp. (Vol. 3); 1405 pp. (Vol. 4) US$2450 for 7 volumes).
Volumes 1, 2, and 6 of this series are concerned with ligands and with the theory and applications of metal complexes, and Volume 7 contains comprehensive indices. Volumes 3, 4, and 5 are dedicated to the coordination chemistry of specific elements. Coordination chemistry is broadly defined so that not only are the classical Werner-type complexes considered, but also species such as polyoxoanions, polymeric complexes with metal-metal bonding, and donor-acceptor complexes with compounds such as [BF.sub.3].
Volume 3 covers the main group elements in groups 13-18 except for C, N, O, F, and the lighter noble gases. Also in this volume are chapters on the lanthanides, the actinides, and the transition elements in groups 4-6. Iso-and heteropolyanions garner a separate chapter, which is appropriate given their structural and chemical similarities. In Volume 4 the chemistries of Mn, Tc, Re, Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh, and Ir are discussed. The chapters are written by leading workers in the field and present a comprehensive review of the data available.
The material on each element or set of elements is usually organized according to ligand donor site or oxidation state of the central atom. Syntheses and reactions are described, and physical, structural, and spectroscopic properties are given, often in tabular form. The figures and tables are excellent. Referencing appears to be complete through 1985, with occasional later citations. Each volume contains subject and formula indices for that volume. This series fulfills its promise of providing the most detailed account available of present-day coordination chemistry, and belongs in all major libraries.

Mitch Moreland 1B/DH TEX Sep 20 '79
Jayson Stark of ESPN writes that Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland is a possible fit with the Rays.
It makes sense, as Moreland doesn't have a clear role with the Rangers after the Prince Fielder trade. The Rays remain interested in re-signing James Loney to play first base and have also reportedly shown interest in a trade for the Mets' Ike Davis.
Mitch Moreland 1B/DH TEX Sep 06 '79
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Rangers are currently leaning toward keeping Mitch Moreland.
Moreland's name has surfaced in trade rumors since last week's acquisition of Prince Fielder, but Rosenthal hears that the Rangers could find playing time for him between the DH spot, right field and first base against right-handed pitching. Of course, things could change depending on what else the Rangers do this winter, so he could find himself on the trade block eventually.
Mitch Moreland 1B/DH TEX Sep 04 '79
Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times writes that Mitch Moreland was a trade possibility for the Rays before the Rangers' deal for Prince Fielder and is "maybe more so now."
It sounds like Topkin is just speculating, but he's right in that Moreland would seem to be a fit. The Rangers are expected to pursue more offensive help even after the acquisition of Fielder, so Moreland surely would be in line for more playing time elsewhere. He's eligible for arbitration for the first time this winter.
Mitch Moreland 1B/DH TEX Sep 01 '79
First base is no longer an option for Mitch Moreland now that the Rangers have Prince Fielder, Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said.
Daniels did say that the team won't give up on Moreland despite acquiring the slugging first baseman. Moreland batted .232/.299/.437 with 23 home runs in 2013. The Rangers will likely now listen to offers for the 28-year-old, and he'll probably see some at-bats as a designated hitter if he stays with the team through the offseason. Whatever his role, his fantasy value obviously goes down with the acquisition of Fielder.
Mitch Moreland 1B/DH TEX Jun 25 '79
Mitch Moreland went 0-for-3 with a walk Saturday against the Athletics.
While Moreland drew a walk with two outs in the ninth inning, he remains hitless over his last 21 at-bats. His batting line is down to .233/.300/.449 for the year.
Mitch Moreland 1B/DH TEX Jun 15 '79
Mitch Moreland went 2-for-4 with a double and homer in a 5-1 win against Oakland on Tuesday.
It was the first time Moreland had collected multiple extra-base hits in a game since July 5. AL-only owners know they must stomach Moreland's poor average (.246) and lack of wheels (zero steals) to enjoy his 22 homers, 57 RBI and 54 runs scored.
Mitch Moreland 1B/DH TEX Jun 08 '79
Mitch Moreland hit his 20th homer versus the Mariners on Wednesday.
Moreland's OPS is down a bit from last year, but he's reached new highs with 20 homers and 55 RBI this year. He doesn't get much credit, but he's been a nice little asset as a platoon first baseman.
Mitch Moreland 1B/DH TEX May 25 '79
Mitch Moreland went 2-for-2 with a home run in a loss to the Brewers on Tuesday.
Moreland's solo shot off Marco Estrada was the only run of the game for the Rangers. After a rough month of July, Moreland is slugging over .500 in August with three home runs six RBI. In total, though, the first baseman is hitting just .249/.309/.459.
Mitch Moreland 1B/DH TEX May 10 '79
Mitch Moreland has gone hitless in six consecutive games following an 0-for-3 as the Rangers' No. 9 hitter on Monday.
Moreland had a solid .788 OPS before the slump, but he's down to .239/.294/.442 now. He's one of the reasons the Rangers need to seriously think about adding more than one bat before the deadline.
Mitch Moreland 1B/DH TEX May 04 '79
Mitch Moreland went 1-for-3 with his 14th home run against the Yankees on Tuesday.
The first baseman had a torrid month of May in which he hit .300 with eight home runs, but he's hit just three in the 31 games since while missing two weeks in June due to a hamstring injury. Moreland has a .257/.312/.476 line this year and is best left for deeper mixed leagues and AL-only leagues.

My home with hoar frost all around
minroseFebruary 18, 2008
This was about a week or so ago, I really wish I would have had more time to take more photos, it was beautiful out.
Min, the house and the light glowing from inside looks so cozy...
Amazing how cold, snow, frost can be so beautiful (for myself I'm not motivated a whole lot to be in these elements)...On occasions though, it looks so clean, clear, crisp and beautiful it draws you into....'come and get my beauty'...Nice shots!
Oh, how pretty. A white fantasy land. All that cold, cold white and just a hint of a warm glow in the window.
