Walt Disney World gave NY1's Valarie D'Elia a sneak peek of its new Fantasyland park.
At Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., a New Fantasyland is now a reality. At center stage is the popular Dumbo The Flying Elephant ride, which is now twice the fun.
"Now we have two Dumbos that guests can also fly on and we have this new area where you don't even feel like you're waiting. Your kids can go and play in different interactive areas until it's your time to go to the attraction area," says Tye Arnold, one of Disney's ambassadors.
Dumbo is one part of the upgrade that doubled Fantasyland, the first expansion of Magic Kingdom in 41 years
Premiering at a media blitz hosted by Disney, Fantasyland is projected to be completed by 2014.
Laid out fairy-tale style, the new Fantasyland is designed to transport families inside their favorite childhood stories through rides, interactive play areas and restaurants.
Take a break at Gaston's Tavern with a glass of LeFou's Brew. The eatery is part of Belle's Village, one of many tributes to the princess from Disney's "Beauty And The Beast."
All little princesses can get dressed for dinner in the formal Be Our Guest Restaurant, an elegant ballroom that seats 550.
From one princess to another, the familiar Cinderella Castle now has company with two more icons piercing the skyline. The Beast's Castle and Prince Eric's castle loom over the entrance to the brand new underwater home of Ariel the Little Mermaid.

Gavin Gaffaney became the third Bulldog this week to sign a letter of intent to play baseball at the next level when he agreed to join California State University, Stanislaus at the conclusion of his high school career.
Hilmar volleyball came into Tuesday's CIF SJS Division-IV playoffs confident. The Yellowjackets had won 22 of their last 24 games, 14 of which came in straight sets. After their defeat of the visiting Summerville Bears, the 'Jackets have another straight set victory under their belts.
Pitman High has been a volleyball power house for the past few years with three consecutive Central California Conference championships and back-to-back undefeated seasons in league. But last year the Pride were dealt a devastating blow in the first round of playoffs when Bella Vista High beat them at home in straight sets.
One Pride runner and two Bulldogs will move on to Sections, after each individual runner had a good showing at the Sac-Joaquin Sub Section cross country meet last weekend at Angels Camp.
Two points. That was the difference between victory and defeat Friday night when Turlock High hosted rival Pitman High in the 10th annual Harvest Bowl.
The Hilmar High Yellowjackets football squad finished the 2013 regular season with a perfect 10-0 record for the first time since 2004.
The Turlock High girls cross country team ended its 2013 season with a first place finish in the Central California Conference championships at Applegate Park.
A visiting Franklin High soccer team gave the Pitman Pride all they could handle in Tuesday's CIF Sac-Joaquin Section first round playoff game - in the first half. The Pride weren't down for the count, however, as they pulled off an incredible second half run, and eventual 2-1 victory.
For the third straight year, the Pitman High volleyball squad is the Central California Conference champions, this after defeating Turlock High on Tuesday's Senior Night in a regular season finale at home, (25-9, 25-7 and 25-4).
Turlock High, the top seeded Central California Conference girls tennis team, dropped its first Division I Sac-Joaquin Section team playoff match to St. Francis High at home Tuesday afternoon. The Bulldogs managed only one match victory,1-8, against a Troubadours team with talent to spare.
The Harvest Bowl – a game defined by rivalry.
It seems like a lifetime ago that Turlock was a one high school town. In reality it's been a mere 12 years since the opening of Pitman High School - and only a decade of that most exhilarating of high school football games, the crosstown rivalry known as the Harvest Bowl.
In a must-win game for Pitman High's football team, the Pride outperformed Golden Valley in their semi-final Central California Conference contest on Senior Night.
Turlock High's football squad came away with a thrilling victory over Central California Conference foe Buhach Colony on Friday night in the Bulldogs' first league victory to keep their postseason hopes alive.
Delhi High climbed into the Southern League winner's column and snapped a five-game losing streak Friday night as it defeated Turlock Christian High, 64-7, in the Eagles' homecoming away from home at McSweeney field in Hilmar.
Turlock and Pitman High will meet on the baseball field in a game to watch, before league play even starts after both squads notched back-to-back wins in this year's Pedretti Tournament earning a spot in the championship round.
Turlock's Albino Orozco (170 pounds) is the last man standing for area wrestlers in the CIF State Wrestling Championships at Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield.
The Central California Conference is known to be one of the most competitive leagues in the valley in nearly every sport-including softball.
Turlock and Pitman High kicked off track season on Friday by going the distance, joining 16 other high schools at Joe Debely Stadium for the Pitman Distance Wars. But while only a handful of each team's track competitors actually saw action on Friday, their respective rosters-sprinters, jumpers, and throwers-were in attendance to cheer their teammates on.
With preseason currently in play, the Southern Athletic League and Trans Valley League girls soccer teams prepare for another fresh season.
The California Interscholastic Federation State Wrestling Championships is two days away. After countless hours of practice and months of preparation-and in some cases years-seven local wrestlers are on the cusp of what will be the biggest stage of their wrestling careers. They're State bound.
The Sac-Joaquin Section Masters Tournament, the final stop before every high school wrestler's apex dream-the State Tournament.
The Pitman High soccer tournament was supposed to be a launching point for the 2014 season, unfortunately, Mother Nature forced the tourney to get cancelled and sent most of the 36 scheduled teams back home.
Cassie Balswick's triple-double helped lift her Turlock Christian squad over Stockton Christian at home in the opening round of the Sac Joaquin Section D-VI tournament on Tuesday night.
One step away from State. That's what a select few wrestlers are thinking after Saturday's conclusion of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division V Tournament at Delhi High.
Action resumed on the mat this past Saturday for Turlock and Pitman High in day two of the Division I Sac Joaquin Section tournament at Franklin High.

Novak Djokovic was born on May 22, 1987, in Belgrade, Serbia. He began playing tennis at the age of four. At 13 he was sent to the Pilic Academy in Munich, Germany, and began his international career in 2001. At 16, after winning five ITF tournaments, Djokovic became the 40th best junior tennis player. In 2010, Djokovic led the Serbian national team to its first Davis Cup win. He went on to win 43 consecutive matches in 2011—the only player in the world to achieve such a run. Among his 2011 victories,
"Belief is the most common word to me, even more than hope. For one to achieve his dreams, he needs to truly believe in them."
"I always try to remember those days [during the war] in a positive, in a very bright way...We didn't need to go to school and we played more tennis."
he won at Wimbledon, and became the world's No. 1 tennis player. In 2012, Djokovic won at the Australian Open, and made it to the Wimbledon semifinals, but was beaten by Roger Federer.
Early Life
Novak Djokovic was born on May 22, 1987 in Belgrade, Serbia. Father Srdjan and mother Dijana owned the company Family Sports, which had three restaurants and a tennis academy. Djokovic's father, uncle and aunt were all professional skiers, and his father also excelled at soccer, but Djokovic was a tennis prodigy.
In the summer of 1993, at 6 years old, Djokovic was spotted by Yugoslavian tennis legend Jelena Gencic at his parents' sports complex. Gencic then worked with Djokovic for the next six years. During this time, the war in former Yugoslavia and the bombing of Belgrade meant that, for almost three months, Djokovic and his family would spend a few hours in the middle of each night in the basement. Djokovic has said that the hardships of war drove him to pursue tennis with even greater determination. At 13, he was sent to the Pilic Academy in Munich, Germany, to pursue higher levels of competition. In 2001, at age 14, he began his international career.
Commercial Success
The 14-year-old Djokovic ended 2001 as a triple European champion in singles, doubles and team competition. He won the silver medal at the World Junior Championship in a team competition for Yugoslavia. At 16, after winning five ITF tournaments, he was ranked the 40th best junior tennis player in the world. In 2004, he won his first ATP Challenger tournament in Budapest, where he started as a qualifier. The following year, he qualified at Wimbledon and reached the third round, moving him up the rankings and into the Top 100.
In the 2007 season, Djokovic played the semifinals of the French Open and Wimbledon. He won his second masters title in Montreal, beating the Top 3 players—Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick—which made him No. 3 in the world. He competed for Serbia in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and won a bronze medal in singles tennis. In 2010, the Serbian national team clinched the Davis Cup trophy for Serbia for the first time in history. Djokovic went on to win 43 matches in a row in 2011, the only player in the world to achieve such a run. That same year, he won Wimbledon and became the world's No. 1 tennis player.
In 2012, Djokovic won the Australian Open singles title, and made it to the semifinals at Wimbledon. He was beaten in the semifinals, however, by longtime rival Roger Federer—who went on to win the Wimbledon final against Andy Murray.

So you say you want to become a thought leader? You may have committed to building a personal brand. You may be a writer, speaker or business owner. One of the basics elements you need to be considered for an interview, a speaking position, or a contributing writing job is for you to have a professional headshot. And since reporters and other media are now primarily using social media networking sites such as LinkedIn and Twitter to find experts like you, your headshot series needs to be an appropriate range of professional shots that can meet the demands of different dimensions and styles of photos. Let's explore, then, what you need to do to ensure success in your own headshots.
A professional headshot must be shot in high-resolution so that the image may be edited, but maintain resolution. Your headshots should be completed as a part of a full photo shoot so that, as I mentioned before, you can have headshots for use in different social media sites and for different media sources where you want to drive placement.
You must use a professional portfolio photographer for your headshots. You will want to browse portfolios of headshots the photographers have done and then interview them to confirm that they understand how to accomplish the following:
- The importance of capturing your unique personal strengths
- Your business goals
- How to make you look inviting and authentic
You will need a photographer who has proven that he or she can think outside the box when it comes to a headshot. He or she needs to make your image impress the viewer and show you in a strong, powerful, professional, and inviting way.
There are also some things you can do to ensure a successful headshot experience. Here are some pre-shoot guidelines:
- Men should wear light yet non-white shirts, with no strong patterns such as plaid, checkers, or wide stripes. Wear a dark, but not black, suit.
- Men should shave the morning of the shoot, unless you're going for the light beard look.
- Women should go with solid colors and minimal patterns.
- Bring two different wardrobes the day of your photo shoot so that you can get one formal and one informal look.
- Clothing should be neat and pressed if possible. Bring it fresh from the cleaners, especially if you're doing the shoot at the end of a long and hot day.
- Make sure you get a good night's rest the day before the shoot so you look energized.
- Men should bring a pocket comb and women should bring foundation and hairspray for touch-ups between shots as necessary.
Do not underestimate the importance of a proper headshot. Editors and reporters are far less likely to choose you for their next story without having a professional, engaging headshot that meets their specific editorial guidelines. An investment in a proper headshot series can mean the difference in your success in building and strengthening your personal brand.

An Alabama football fan got a dressing-down and two years in prison for obscenity in a viral video with an unconscious LSU fan after last year's championship game. State District Judge Karen Herman told Brian Downing of Smiths Station, Ala., that he's a bully who has permanently damaged someone else's life. Downing declined to say anything before the judge sentenced him as part of a plea deal. He pleaded guilty in October to two counts of obscenity for rubbing his genitals on the LSU fan. Prosecutors dropped a charge of sexual battery, which is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The incident took place last January after Alabama defeated LSU at the Superdome to claim the BCS title.

Good morning! Well, last night I spent a few hours at the county fair. Had a corndog. Those are always good. I agree with Ben Stiller's character in Something about Mary when he says, "There should really be more meats on a stick." I agree. Corndogs are the key. But, if you go to the Dome, you can get a pork chop on a stick. I am a big fan of pork chops, so I got one, thinking it was going to be cool. It was a grilled piece of pork chop, and they put a stick through it. That was it. Not my best monetary investment. I was expecting something more. I mean, I got a pork chop, and I got a stick. Should I really have expected more from something called Pork Chop on a Stick, probably not.
By the way, the t-shirts and tank tops are now available. To see the shirts and get some pricing on them, please click here for the SethSpeaks Shop. On it, I have a few pictures, prices and the quantities that I have remaining. I will try to keep it updated. If there is a size there that you want but it is out, I have already ordered more and should have them within a week. So please feel free to e-mail me an "order" for your own SethSpeaks.net t-shirt or tank top!
If you notice Chris Coste's stats to the left, you will notice a jump in his numbers. That is because last night, he went 4-5 with his 16th home run and two RBI.
Normally I would put this type of article in the Other Thoughts/Links section, but I thought it was a very interesting human interest story that many of you may want to read. It is an article written by Jim Mandelaro of the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle called Wings Wives Say It isn't so Glamorous. It is an article discussing the Twins AAA affiliate's player's wives. It is really interesting!
Anyway, today I wanted to include a few quality e-mails that I have received over the past week. I do want to encourage you to feel free to e-mail me at any time with ideas or thoughts on the Twins, their minor league system, TV, movies, the Vikings, Wolves or life in general. That is the best part of this site. Getting to interact with the readers. So, let's get to it.
From "Mark"
No I wasn't happy to see Kenny Rogers booed. The man made a mistake, he sincerely apologized for it, what else would you like from him?
The mind set that Republican politics has created in this country is disgusting. Forgive and forget is that not the christian way?Seth's Response:
I guess I didn't realize that a person's opinion on how to react to someone who played rough-house with a cameraman was directly related to one's political affiliation. I guess that would be a non-partisan choice. Now, I was always brought up to respect your opponent and that booing at any time is wrong and should not be done, so I chose not to boo anyone. That said, I won't say that it is bad. Forgiving is easy. Forgetting... not always so easy.
From "Brad"
Ok Seth, time to fix the anemic offense! What does Mr Ryan do? I'll throw some options your way.
Dunn for Jones, Baker, Swartaz & Garret Jones
That is a lot to give up and Dunn will be making some serious $$$ in the next few years, but we need a run producer. The savings from Jacque, Mays & Lecroy could pay for him next year.
Soriano for Baker & Adam Harden
Definite rent a player, but the boy has some pop. Has been a bit of a head case in the past and I'm not sure how that would work with the Twins style.
Matt Stairs for Bonser
I hate trading w/in the division, but Stairs could give us a great LH bat to DH and spell RF.
Jacque Jones for a sack of balls, maybe we could parlay him into one of Atlanta's rookies
Ryan Howard for Baker
2nd coming of Papi
Hanley Ramirez(think thats his name) for Nathon. Boston needs a closer and we need a SS. or Marte from Atlanta for Nathan. Only problem is Atlanta needs offense more than a closer right now. Rietsma has been doing ok and Kolb is starting to come into form.
I have totally soured on Randa, but I hear Mike Lowell might be available for young SP's. FL will unload Leiter & Burnett this year and need some new young blood. (Baker, Perkins, Smits)
Some other names
Juan Encarnacion
Tony Womack
Larry Bigbie
Corry Patterson
Preston Wilson (Col. won't eat the contract though)
Kevin Youkilis (solid young player and won't be making big $$ for awhile)
Ruben Sierra - we need vets off the bench
These are some ugly options, but I don't think Booner will be enough to get us to 95 wins(which I think we will need for a WC spot)Seth's Response:
I got a number of great e-mails from people asking me for my thoughts on what types of trades the Twins should try to pull off. As I've mentioned, I don't think that guys like Randa, Alfonzo, Mueller or even Hillenbrand or Lowell are big enough bats to make a huge difference over the current options. That said, I would be willing to use some of our prospect depth to acquire a huge bat. Adam Dunn is a huge bat. He could hit 45-50 homers with the Twins and fit nicely into the middle of the lineup. However, as much power as Dunn has, he is incredibly one-dimensional. OK, he walks a bunch, but he strikes out more than anyone else. He is a terrible outfielder and a below average first baseman. He is also left-handed and the Twins have enough of them.
Alfonso Soriano? Now I like Soriano's power. He doesn't walk, and he strikes out a lot. But he hits for a lot of power and has plenty of speed. He is a difference make. That said, there is no way at all that I would consider giving up both Baker and Harben for him, not when he will only be a Twin for the next three months.
Matt Stairs - to summarize... No Thanks! Stairs is what he is, a left-handed pinch-hitter with power. But how much of a difference would Stairs make in a lefty pinch-hitter-off-the-bench compared to Michael Ryan? Maybe one more hit? Maybe. If that. I also don't want this trade to be made because Stairs is a veteran and guessing based on Gardy's history, he would probably play Stairs at 1B and bat him cleanup! Uggh! Let's not even give him that chance!
Ryan Howard for Baker - OK, that is what I'm talking about. Howard is the type of player that even I would trade Baker for. Howard is going to be Ortiz-like! Unfortunately, the Phillies are trying desperately to trade Jim Thome and his massive contract to make room for Howard. I can't imagine anyone taking on Thome with his injury problems. Maybe they will have to just part with Howard and the Twins should try to get him, and since he's a left-handed hitting 1B, he will probably become a DH, like Ortiz!
I've been telling friends for a month that I would do a Joe Nathan to the Braves for Joe Nathan deal in a second. Of course, if the Braves really want a closer, they may have to give up more that even a top, top prospect. Rincon or Crain could move into the closer's role. Travis Bowyer could be called up for relief. And the Twins would have their 3B position solved for the next half-decade or longer!
Encarnacion - No thanks.
Sweeney - yeah, but not for much and Kansas City won't want to pay much of his remaining contract to play for a team within the division.
Womack - ICK! No thank you!
Bigbie - He'll be fine, but not a good fit, I don't think.
Corey Patterson - if yo ucan get him for cheap from the Cubs, wouldn't hurt.
Preston Wilson - has since been sent to the Nationals.
Kevin Youklis - I wouldn't mind getting the Greek God of Walks. That said, he really has not shown much ability to put the ball in play in the big leagues yet. I would prefer to acquire Shea Hillenbrand, who we know will swing the bat to knock in runs.
Ruben Sierra - no thanks.
And we just continue to hear rumors involving Romero, Mays, Lohse, and others going to places like Boston or Florida. We will likely hear more and more over the next week and change. It is a fun time of the year!
From "Dewey"
I am so sick of the Twins stadium issue!!!! Minnesota has the worst State Legislators in history!!!!!! Why don't the people of Inn. kick these fools out????? Why is State government so whacked out???? Uncle Carl has been so patient with all this........I am sick of it!!!!!! We will loose the Twins if action is not taken ASAP!!!!!!!!! I feel sorry for the people who still live in the state...It is one of the laughing stocks across the nation now!!!!!! Minnesota will know how valuable the Twins are after they leave!!!!!! Jesse Ventura, Lousy Legislators, no new cribs for the Twins, Gophers, and Vies!!!!!!!!!
Seth's Response:
Dewey, I'm right there with you! Carl Pohlad has been very patient. He has also developed plans in which he pays for a good percentage of the stadiums. The state continues to say no to any public financing. First, it's like these people don't realize how much traffic and dollars the Twins bring into Minneapolis on 81 dates a year. Also, remember that when the current collective bargaining deal is up in another year or so, contraction can be done without player approval. Do you think that the Twins aren't still atop the list of teams that could be contracts (along with Tampa Bay, Florida and a few other teams)? Just something to think about.
From "Scott"
So what are your thoughts on Morneau these days? I still have high hopes that he'll be a great player but I lose confidence in him with each passing game this year. He looks every bit as clueless as Koskie used to look at the plate. And what about Cuddyer? What will they do with him when he comes back? I've never been a fan of his, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt this year as he's never been an everyday player. I always said that the reason he was never an everyday player was because he obviously didn't prove to the coaching staff that he could get the job done. He's certainly had his chances to impress this year but didn't do it. Could it be time to officially declare the Cuddyer Experiment a failure and look to package him with a prospect or two for a decent infielder?
Seth's Response:
This is a great paragraph of questions right now. What do I think of Morneau? Yes, he has certainly been a disappointment after getting off to a good start this season. His batting average and his plate discipline have both deteriorated as the season has progressed. But that said, I still think that the future of the large, 24 year old first baseman is bright. He has continued to make adjustments in the minor leagues and hit. Now he simply needs to make adjustments to what big league pitchers are doing to him. OK, the word "simply" is not at all appropriate. It is hard, and will take time and work. But Morneau seems to be a hard worker. He doesn't need to prove again that he can mash AAA pitching. He needs to stay and work through this struggle. Last night's performance was a positive. He was 1-2 with three walks. That means he's sitting back and taking some pitches. Hopefully that trend will continue. Long-term, I still see Morneau as a .300 hitter with 40 homer power.
As for Cuddyer, as I have mentioned a few times, he has been made a scapegoat over and over in his Twins career. Remember when he was given the RF job out of camp in 2003? He was given about 15 games before they made a change. This year, he got most of the first half of the season at 3B. He got off to a slow start, but he has been solid at worst since the beginning of May. His defense at 3B is questionably, no doubt. But hitting is not his problem. And now, he is splitting time at 3B with Luis Rodriguez and Nick Punto and backing up 1B as Morneau struggles. His June OPS was .777. Jacque Jones was .714. Joe Mauer was .706. Justin Morneau was .737. Shannon Stewart and Lew Ford were both at .784. Judging by that, is Cuddyer really the clear-cut problem in the lineup? I certainly don't think so. The guys that are being rumored as possible 3B replacements are not much better. I still think that Cuddyer is just fine. I fully believe that 2B is his best position now and in the future. I hope that the Twins don't lose him!
From "Jonathon"
I enjoyed your bit. Consider this as the hindsight worst trade of all-time.
How about the Twins' trade of David Ortiz for no one (i.e., his lapsing via free agency)? The guy has 85 RBI just after the break this year, single handedly saved the Red Sox from certain defeat at the hands of the Yankees last year by winning games 4 and 5 of the ALCS after the team was down 3-0, and received more All-Star votes this year than any player in baseball. This guy was a Twin on a team with little power in 2002 (but admittedly more power than the team has now), hit 20 home runs in just over 400 at bats with a slg % of .500 that year, and we refused to find a place for him?!
Terry Ryan's legacy in my view will always be as a GM with too many mediocre guys logjammed in right field, first base and DH. This deadly combination made him pass on Ortiz because he perceived there was no more room due to the upcoming Cuddyers, LeCroys, Ryans, Fords, Restoviches, Kieltys, Mohrs, and Morneaus of the world. What a travesty. LeCroy has become a bit player, Ford cannot hit for power, Restovich, Kielty and Mohr are gone and Morneau is promising but still only 24 and now struggling. Maybe no one could've foreseen Ortiz's breakout in 2003, but certainly, the Twins could've and should've avoided trading the guy who has arguably become the best hitter in baseball for no one.Seth's Response:
Hindsight is the key word. However, as I have mentioned before, if I was Terry Ryan at that time, there is no way I even consider offering arbitration to Ortiz that offseason. He was always injured and it didn't take much. How many times did he round first base and while planting to return to the bag, he would twist his knee. He broke his hammate bone. Any number of injuries. There was no reason to let him go to arbitration where it likely would have cost $4-5 million for one year.
Also, we all knew that David Ortiz could hit, but the year before the Twins let him go, he couldn't hit lefties at all. He had become a solid opposite field, slap hitter like the Twins seem to love to develop. In other words, had he stayed with the Twins, even if he stayed healthy, he would never have put up numbers this good in a Twins uniform. I just really don't see it.
And don't forget, Ortiz signed with the Sox right before spring training. In other words, it isn't as though lots of other teams were even considering him either.
If you ever would like to e-mail me with your thoughts, comments or ideas, please do so. I enjoy reading all of the intelligent thoughts I do get. Makes for some fun conversation. And you never know, they may get posted.
I believe that the Twins have now won three games in a row. I think that is officially called a streak. Yesterday, they actually did something that Twins fans have been hoping for since the All-Star break, a laugher. The Twins really had this one in control from the start and finished with a 10-5 win. They had a bunch of players contribute, which is good to see. Here are a few notes and thoughts:
Johan Santana picked up his ninth win on the year, but he lasted just five innings. He gave up three runs on nine hits. He walked none, but he also struck out just three. He's still not there. Wouldn't it be nice if Radke could start getting a couple of these "Cheap wins?"
Joe Mauer is amazing. Yesterday, he was again 2-3 with two walks and a double. Name a better catcher in the American League this year? In the major leagues? I can put up a comparison to any catcher saying Mauer is better.
Torii Hunter had a nice 3-4 with a walk day. If only he could be consistently good part of the time!!!
Justin Morneau went 1-2, breaking an 0-21 slump since the All-Star break. More importantly, he walked three times meaning he is getting back some strike zone judgment.Of course, some may say that his single breaks him from his 0-21 slump. Well, fact is, he is now 1-23, so he's not really out of a slump yet. Lets be patient.
Nick Punto, Jacque Jones and Bret Boone each had two hits in the game.
Matt Guerrier with another great three innings.
Here are the pitching matchups for the five game series against the Tigers at Comerica Park:
Tonight - 6:05 - Joe Mays (5-4, 4.03, 1.34, .285) vs Mike Maroth (7-10, 4.20, 1.35, .282)
Saturday - 12:05 - Carlos Silva (7-3, 3.42, 1.20, .298) vs Sean Douglass (2-0, 2.35, 1.13, .232)
Saturday - 6:05 - Scott Baker (0-1, 3.00, 1.33, .273) vs Justin Verlander (0-1, 6.75, 1.88, .304)
Sunday - 12:05 - Kyle Lohse (7-8, 4.34, 1.45, .308) vs Jeremy Bonderman (12-6, 4.05, 1.22, .247)
Have a great day, and please feel free to e-mail me. I'd love to hear your thought!

Nathan Crawford pitched three scoreless innings.
I just have a couple of sites for you to check out today. Feel free to peruse some of the sites on the left of this screen. If I find anything incredible over the weekend, check back for more thoughts.
Stick and Ball Guy has really been on top of his game of late. He's always been one of the best, but the last couple of weeks, he has been terrific. Yesterday, he read a Patrick Reusse article, got upset by it and ripped it apart on his site. Fun (and truthful) read!
I'm in agreement with Gleeman in that, if we're going to only get Bill Mueller, Mike Lowell, Shea Hillenbrand or Kevin Millar, I am fine with the Twins standing pat because they probably aren't guys who will be the final piece to the puzzle. They are all complimentary players.
On that note, I am going to call it a day and another week! I hope everyone had a great one! As always, please feel free to e-mail me your thoughts on the Twins, the minor leagues, or anything you would like to discuss.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that have frequent chest infections are the patients most likely to become worse over time. Why these people are more susceptible to chest infections is not known. One reason might be that the white cells in their lungs called macrophages do not work properly. Normally, these cells remove all the debris inhaled into the lung. This can also include bacteria. In patients with COPD, these macrophages are not able to remove these particles. The research question addresses why this happens

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) comprises chronic bronchitis, small airways disease and emphysema. The major risk factor for the development of COPD is cigarette smoking therefore, the prevalence of this disease is increasing. COPD accounts for increasing numbers of hospital admissions due to increased numbers of chest infections and exacerbations. This may be related to the reduced capacity of macrophages from COPD patients to phagocytose bacteria and apoptotic cells. The reasons for this defect in the innate immune response in these subjects is unclear but there are suggestions that scavenger receptors may be altered by oxidative stress and reduce the phagocytotic pathway. This would be relevant in COPD, as increased oxidative stress is associated with cigarette smoking. We have preliminary data that shows a similar reduce phagocytotic response in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) from COPD patients compared with smokers and non-smokers. As these cells have not been exposed to oxidative stress other mechanisms may play a role in reducing phagocytosis. Using this MDM model, by taking blood from patients with COPD, we aim to investigate the mechanism of defective phagocytosis in COPD. We will measure the expression and regulation of cell surface scavenger receptors in cells of disease patients and control subjects and examine the signalling pathways leading to actin polymerization and phagosome formation. Finally, we aim to identify novel therapeutic strategies to reverse this effect and augment phagocytosis of macrophages in patients with COPD. Such a strategy would reduce chest infections and exacerbations and hence improve quality of life.

One of the nicest hostels I've stayed in. Clean and modern with very friendly, helpful staff. In a great location in the Jewish district. Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at this hostel. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially considering we arrived at 1am. The room was very clean, the beds were comfortable and we couldn't hear any noise from the street. The location was perfect given that it was only about 10 minutes walk to the main square. The guy at reception marked out several areas of interest for us on a map which was a great help. The facilities were faultless and I would stay there again without hesitation.

I'm glad you're finding a way of eating that's working for you! My biggest takeaway after doing lots of research into WAPF/paleo/primal/TF was that there are as many different ideal diets as there are people, but that there are some constants as well - processed foods, seed oils, modern wheat, sugar, unethically raised meat and improperly prepared grains are good for no one. Beyond that - meat or no meat, low carb or high starch, dairy or no dairy, nuts or no nuts - all of that is up for you to find out for yourself.
I can't see any reason why anyone couldn't incorporate WAPF principles into a vegetarian diet. You could still eat fermented food, you could eliminate wheat and soak/sprout ancient grains, have raw dairy, cut out processed food, eat seasonally, take fermented cod liver oil, get plenty of sun, eat pastured eggs, eat lots of good fat.
I wasn't a total vegetarian, but grains and legumes absolutely ruined my health. I had leaky gut syndrome that lead to a bizarre and painful autoimmune illness that no one could identify. Now I know that gluten and lectins were shredding me apart and I'm in the best health I've ever been in. I've discovered so many things now that I pay close attention to how food affects me - fruit makes me bloated, nuts make me hungry, pasteurized dairy gives me gas and makes me break out, low-carb doesn't work for me (likely due to nursing), caffeine in any amount at any time affects my sleep...the list goes on. Listening to your body is what's important.

Sandra Winslow lived like a princess for a short time as the wife of Victor Winslow, Paradise's favorite son and rising local politician. But when Victor died after a suspicious car accident, the people of Paradise branded Sandra as a murderer, despite the medical examiner's ruling that the death was accidental. Without Victor's income, children's novelist Sandra is left to fend for herself in a ramshackle beach house inherited from her grandparents. She has no choice but to sell it and start over in a new town, but the house needs extensive repair before it can be put on the market. Enter Mike Malloy, who has returned to his hometown of Paradise after losing his construction firm in a messy divorce. Despite Sandra's notoriety, he agrees to work on her house because renovation jobs are hard to come by in the middle of a Rhode Island winter.
Although Sandra continues to claim she did not cause Victor's death, she knows a devastating secret about the events of that fateful night. She and Victor argued, and a bullet hole was found in the car. What did Victor disclose that changed Sandra's life forever? She won't let anyone know the full truth, even Mike, whom she comes to rely upon and care for deeply. But their relationship is tenuous at best. Victor's vengeful parents plan to file a wrongful death civil suit against Sandra, and Mike could lose visitation rights to his two beloved children for consorting with the "Black Widow of Paradise." And the bottom line is, the couple are going in opposite directions: Mike has come to Paradise to make a new home for himself, while Sandra only wants to get away from the site of so much tragedy and disgrace.
The first half of Passing Through Paradise shows great promise. From Sandra's poignant recollections of a lonely childhood, set apart from other children because of a paralyzing stutter, to her endearing habit of writing Top 10 lists, the heroine makes a memorable first impression. Mike Malloy is a hunk as well as a dedicated father who struggles to carve a meaningful role in his children's life as a non-custodial parent. His ability to fix things is a metaphor for everything he offers to Sandra, and therein lies the problem. His assertive intervention into Sandra's problems leaves her clinging perilously close to doormat status. Despite his claim at the novel's conclusion that she has become more outspoken and independent, he is the ultimate rescuer, Prince Charming with a tool belt.
The beginning of the novel also provides a suspenseful buildup to the secret Sandra insists on keeping about Victor's death. Unfortunately, the answer, when it is finally revealed, lacks originality and feels like a major let-down.
Still, there's a lot to appreciate about Passing Through Paradise. Wiggs' gentle narrative has a wonderful sense of place, bringing the Rhode Island coast alive for the reader and providing justification for Sandra's reluctance to leave, despite her problems. A few of the secondary characters shine, notably a unrepentant shark of a lawyer who, thank goodness, is on Sandra's side. Mike and Sandra's chemistry builds slowly but surely with an appropriately sizzling consummation.
Passing Through Paradise gets a passing grade from me. Readers who need a spunkier heroine should look elsewhere, though.

D.C. Subway Baby Born At 'The Child' Station
By editor
Originally published on Fri August 2, 2013 10:08 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. As Shavonnte Taylor was riding the metro in D.C. yesterday, headed to a prenatal doctor's appointment. Her baby was due in a few weeks, but as she was changing trains her contractions began. Fellow metro riders, including luckily an EMT, sprang into action. And in a few minutes, right there on the platform, a healthy boy was born. Appropriately, that station is called L'Enfant Plaza. As in l'baby. It's MORNING EDITION.

In the wonderful movie Sliding Doors, Helen runs for a train and just makes it on as the doors are closing. Moments later we see her running again for the same train only to have the doors close a moment before she arrives, forcing her to wait several minutes for the next train to arrive. We then see two versions of Helen's life unfold; one where she had made the train and one where she did not. The seemingly trivial moment in her day proves to lead to two wildly different outcomes.
There are reports that Microsoft will acquire Yammer. If true, and sitting here on a beautiful Friday morning looking out at the hills of Oakland, monitoring twitter, texts from friends on the inside, news, and any other information source, my best guess is that it is and paperwork is frantically being prepared, what does this mean? Well, for one, David Sacks, CEO of Yammer is about to have a very happy 40th birthday. The number that is being bandied about is $1 billion. And this is not an Instagram moment. The value and potential of Yammer in the enterprise software market is clear. David and team have been working very hard for a long time to build a viable enterprise business. They were recently named a leader in Forrster's Activity Stream Wave. They have one million paying enterprise customers and another four million freemium users in the wings. It's a real business and it's been a real pain in the backside to some larger and better established competitors. In the case of Microsoft, a much larger and much better established competitor.
Microsoft has been slow to the game in enterprise social. Their primary delivery mechanism, SharePoint, is a very big product with a traditionally long delivery cycle. When you upgrade your enterprise social story every 3-4 years, you're going to be constantly behind in a market segment that is rewarded for being forward thinking. Hence, they've not been a thought leader. So, if you have gobs and gobs of cash, what do you do? Buy an undeniable thought leader. And Yammer is that.
So, on the surface it makes sense. The Yammer crew gets rich and avoids the hassle of an IPO (and Facebook has certainly made the terms social and IPO about as attractive as peanut butter and cauliflower for the moment). Microsoft gets way cool in enterprise social really fast. Everyone wins.
Well, maybe.
Back to Sliding Doors. Somewhere in Redmond, someone is driving this deal and that will drive the future of Yammer. That someone could be in the Office group, which owns SharePoint, Lync and designs most of the applications for Microsoft's cloud collaboration offering, Office 365. That someone could be in Dynamics, Microsoft's business application unit that competes with SAP, Oracle and SalesForce. Yeah, SalesForce. As in, those folks with Chatter, one of Yammer's stiffest competitors. The different scenarios that unfold based on who is driving this deal will lead to very different outcomes. (A third scenario has folks from the consumer side of the business like Skype and Bing driving the deal to compete with Google and Facebook, but Yammer's cred is in the enterprise and this seems unlikely)
If Yammer ends up with the Dynamics team, it is likely to be positioned as their answer to SalesForce and Chatter. They have social-enabled business applications, we have social-enabled business applications. This is the Sliding Doors moment that ends very badly. Why? Because Chatter is not about social enabling SalesForce CRM. It's about social-enabling your enterprise. SalesForce CRM is just one of many things that gets social-enabled by Chatter. The Force.com platform and AppExchange are the facilitators of a much broader story that SalesForce is telling. They have worked very hard to position Chatter as a horizontal collaboration platform. Chatter doesn't compete with Dynamics, it competes ultimately with SharePoint. If not in all functional areas, at least for IT budget. If Microsoft pigeon-holes Yammer into a business application adjacency, they miss the big market opportunity and play right into SalesForce'shands. And the Dynamics team is no way ready to address a broad collaboration play.
Sliding Doors scenario number two has Yammer going the Office team. This has the potential to end better. These guys can position Yammer as part of a broad horizontal collaboration offering. This would mean that Microsoft, in one fell swoop, becomes good at social and places it adjacent to their very strong market offerings in email, unified communications, workspaces, etc. This keeps Microsoft customers from having to augment their collaboration strategy with third party offerings from folks like IBM, Jive, Telligent and others (we'll talk about close Microsoft partner NewsGator at a future time if this deal goes down). If Microsoft plays their cards right, they seriously cripple the ability for competitors to disrupt their market leading position in collaboration and likely place themselves as long-term leaders in enterprise social.
So, what about those out there that bought into the Yammer vision, especially customers? Does Yammer become the next Groove, a bold vision of collaboration that goes to Redmond to die? Here is what Microsoft needs to do to make this work:
So, as we sit waiting to hear the final word we can wonder whether this will be one of so many botched acquisitions we've seen in our industry, or one one of the few really good ones. It's up to Microsoft. Could go either way, as some of us will remember from the closing scene of Sliding Doors:

Upon moving into Gund Arena for the 1994-95 season, the Cavaliers adopted white home jerseys with light blue splashed across the torso. The word "CAVS" in custom lettering was in orange with a black line; numbers were black with a white line and offset beneath the "VS" in "CAVS". The black road uniforms also had the blue splash, the word "CLEVELAND" in orange and black lettering, the numbers were white with a black line and offset beneath "LAND" in "CLEVELAND." On both the home and away shirts, the number was centered beneath the arched player's name. That year, the team adopted the logo featuring a basketball arching into a stylized net, placed above the word "CAVS.". | |
