Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) hits "Sin City" for its annual Super Bowl weekend event as UFC 156: "Aldo vs. Edgar" goes down this Saturday night (Feb. 2, 2013) from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A featherweight championship bout serves as the main event as Jose Aldo puts his belt on the line for the fourth time, this time against former UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar. Several other intriguing match ups are scheduled for the undercard as well, featuring the likes of Rashad Evans, Alistair Overeem, Jon Fitch and more.
With the festivities mere hours away and anticipation growing for the promotion's first pay-per-view (PPV) show of 2013, let's take a few minutes to review some event-related facts about UFC 156 and its fighters.
Check 'em out:
- Jose Aldo, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Alistair Overeem enter UFC 156 on the longest layoffs of their MMA careers.
- Frankie Edgar is the first fighter in UFC history to fight for an undisputed title after back-to-back losses. Randy Couture fought Chuck Liddell for the interim light heavyweight title at UFC 43 after two-straight losses.
- All 10 main card fighters on the UFC 156 main card have headlined a UFC or World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) event at some point in their career.
- Jon Fitch has not finished an opponent since submitting Roan Carneiro with a rear-naked choke at UFC Fight Night 10 on June 12, 2007.
- Joseph Benavidez and Ian McCall, who fight in the PPV opener, both suffered a defeat to Demetrious Johnson in their last fight.
- According to Fight Metric, Gleison Tibau has completed 64 takedowns in his UFC career, second in UFC history. Georges St. Pierre holds the record with 68 completed takedowns.
- Edgar can join Couture and B.J. Penn as the only fighters to win UFC titles in two different weight classes with a win over Aldo in the UFC 156 main event.
- Aldo's 11-0 (8-0 WEC, 3-0 UFC) record under the ZUFFA umbrella from June 1, 2008 to present gives him the second longest winning streak in ZUFFA history behind UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva (16-0).
- According to SB Nation MMA Rankings, all 10 fighters on the UFC 156 main card are ranked in the top 15 of their respective weight classes.
- Former Strikeforce fighters Isaac Vallie-Flagg, Bobby Green and Tyron Woodley make their UFC debut at the event.
- Edgar's first UFC fight was on Super Bowl weekend in 2007. He headlines UFC 156 on Super Bowl weekend in 2013.
- Four of the five main card bouts pit a Brazilian fighter against a non-Brazilian.
- Demian Maia's total fight time since moving to the UFC welterweight division is three minutes and 17 seconds.
- Jay Hieron's unanimous decision loss to Jake Ellenberger at UFC on FX 5 dropped his UFC record to 0-3 dating back to June 19, 2004.
- According to Fight Metric, Tibau holds the UFC record for highest takedown defense accuracy. Tibau stops 91.8% of his opponent's takedown attempts (Minimum five UFC fights and 20 TD attempts by opponents).
- Jon Fitch has the best submission defense in UFC history. He has escaped 25 of 25 submission attempts in his UFC career.
- The 10 main card competitors have 127 fights of experience in UFC or an organization purchased by parent company ZUFFA (Strikeforce, WEC, PRIDE).
- Yves Edwards will fight his second UFC bout in a 56-day span.
- Fitch is tied with Sam Stout for the most UFC fights to go to a decision at 12.
- Edgar will fight in his seventh consecutive UFC title bout.
- Of the 22 fighters scheduled to compete on the card, Edwards has the most fights at 61, with 42 wins and 18 losses.
- Of a combined 53 professional victories, Overeem and Antonio Silva have finished 49 opponents by knockout, technical knockout or submission.
- According to Fight Metric, Fitch has landed 2,149 total strikes in his UFC career, second most in UFC history behind Georges St. Pierre's 2,188.
- Tibau will fight inside the Octagon for the 18th time in the last six years and two months. No other fighter has competed in more UFC bouts in that time frame.
- According to Fight Metric, Edgar has the third longest average fight time in UFC history behind Ben Henderson and Demetrious Johnson at 17 minutes and 47 seconds.
That's a wrap for this set of UFC facts.

A British holidaymaker who lost part of her leg after being hit by a New York taxi has been discharged from hospital.
Sian Green is set to return to the UK in the next few days according to a family spokesman and is said to be looking forward to getting back to normal.
Miss Green, 24, from Leicester, was involved in an accident just hours after arriving in the city for a holiday with her best friend.
Her injuries were so serious she had to have part of her left leg amputated below the knee.

i hope thats not true. i want ge64 to be on wii.The long and winding road of "GoldenEye 007" rumours looks likely to take another twist and turn next week.
In recent months, stories have circulated that a team at Microsoft had reworked the classic N64 James Bond videogame for Xbox Live Arcade. According to reports, Nintendo nixed the project at the 11th hour over a financial dispute.
Just when the prospect of a re-release of the best-selling 007 game looked unlikley, Xbox World magazine reheats the excitement.
"Next Wednesday, in Xbox World 360, you'll find the first ever shots and definitive hands-on details behind one of this year's biggest stories. Yep, it's the story the whole world wanted, but only we got - and we unleash it next Wednesday in Xbox World 360. Will you be excited? Oh yes. Will you, like us, be just a little bit angry too? Mmmm, maybe. Want to know more? The mystery unfolds - in shops - in seven days time."
The magazine's website has released teaser 'jigsaw pieces' of a screenshot from the game, which someone has collected to form the image below. This is clearly a screenshot from an updated graphics engine showing the first mission from "Goldeneye 007".

WATERTOWN, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) – A number of gun shots were fired near Franklin Street in Watertown Friday night, and it was believed that suspect number 2 in the Boston Marathon bombings had been shot.
FOX 25's Bob Ward reported that as many 30 shots were fired in the neighborhood. Ward reported that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the man known as suspect 2, was shot by police.
Ward, citing sources, said that Tsarnaev was still alive and could be seen moving via a State Police helicopter's infrared camera. He was surrounded and was refusing to come out of the boat.
FOX 25's Jarrod Holbrook reported that Tsarnaev was seen in a boat with a canvas cover. He was reportedly poking holes in the canvas.
Holbrook reported hearing the shots being fired in rapid succession, "like a roll of firecrackers" shortly after a "Shelter in Place" order had been lifted in Boston and its surrounding area.
Neighbors said they had just gone out for the first time all day when gunfire broke out.
"We were walking just to the corner of Russell Avenue and heard all this gunfire, and we just flew across the street and lo and behold there was all this gunfire right there," said Mary Sullivan.
A bomb squad robot had been deployed at the scene to check the boat for explosives. Tsarnaev's brother, Tamerlan, was found with an improvised explosive device when he was killed following a shootout with police overnight Friday.
SWAT teams, sharpshooters, FBI agents, and police took command of the tense and locked-down streets of Boston and its suburbs Friday in an all-out hunt for the 19-year-old Tsarnaev.
The two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing killed an MIT police officer and hurled explosives at police in a car chase and gun battle overnight Thursday that left Tamerlan dead and Dzhokhar on the run.
Officials said Dzhokhar fled the Watertown scene on foot.

Sorry, Bush and Rove, fear has declined since September
by Gary Kilbride, Fri Oct 27, 2006 at 07:32:36 PM EDT
Are you scared?
Pollsters don't ask that basic question. Actually, they do, with slightly more finesse.
I realize we don't like Strategic Vision (R) around here, but they've had one question that has fascinated me all year:
"Do you expect another terrorist attack within the United States in the next six months?"
I noticed that bizarre inquiry in their polling this spring, and have never been more stunned at a consensus. I would have said no within half a second and laughed at the questioner, asking if anyone actually answered yes. Yet in every state, the percentage has always been 70+% Yes, an amazing detour from base probability. In fact, the people who said Yes in spring have already "lost."
Eventually I realized that question was an interesting gauge of fear level, moving up or down depending on how prevalent terrorism was in the news and national mindset. Last week Karl Rove said terrorism would be the premier topic on the eve of the election. He better have something clever up his sleazy sleeve, because fear is slumping like gas prices.
Strategic Vision has been polling the same nine states all year. Five polls have been released since October 20. I checked the numbers in those states, beginning in June, then in September, and compared to the late October poll. The "terrorist strike within six months?" percentage moved up significantly in all five states beginning in June, peaking in late September, shortly after the 9/11 aniversary coverage and before the Foley news broke. But all five states dropped from September to October. Hmm. All five moving in the same direction, not once but twice. I call that a reliable measure.
No question the percentages are still remarkably high. But in close elections the drop in fear level can be just enough to promote rational voting, and tip races to our side.
The states are Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Washington. I decided to use only the states with a poll released within the past week.
From June to September the Yes percentage jumped in every state, by 13, 10, 10, 8, and 12 points. But from September to late October the Yes number slid in each of the five states, by 5, 8, 5, 3 and 4. Even though the Yes average is still 5 points higher than June, the No percentage has returned to roughly 11%, the June level, from barely 5% average in October. The Undecideds have stabilized from September to October at 11% average. So you basically had 5% moving from Yes to No in the past month.
Not earth shattering, admittedly, but hell, I'd call it a positive. And I was supremely confident no one else was going to diary this:)
Here are the five-state averages:
"Do you expect another terrorist attack within the United States in the next six months?"
72.2% Yes, 11.4% No, 16.4% Undecided
82.8% Yes, 5.4% No, 11.8% Undecided
77.8% Yes, 11% No, 11.2% Undecided
http://www.strategicvision.biz/political /results.htm
June: 71% Yes, 13% No, 16% Undecided
September: 84% Yes, 7% No, 9% Undecided
October: 79% Yes, 11% No, 10% Undecided

It's good to know that there is still a little bit of talent left to hold onto from the shattered remains of their most recent, disappointing album; "Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water". I still consider Significant Other to be the best of the band's three albums and to be a contemporary classic in the world of rapcore, no matter how many fans accuse this album of being the results of "sellouts" and that it sucked compared to 3 Dollar Bill Y'all$. If you compare this album to the first CD, which is 3DBY$, the music here is much more organized and thought-through. Fortunately this CD also has the gift of variety, so we're not stuck hearing the same chords over and over. Both hard rock and rap make this album what it is.Both the "Intro" and "Outro", though short and pretty much meaningless, provide some good bass for fans who really crave that in their music. As far as hard rock is concerned, "Nookie", "Don't Go Off Wandering", and "Nobody Like You" will do more than satisfy the fans tastes. The guitars and instrumental talent/effort put forth in all three pay off well. If you're into metal or even harder rock, this album has that as well. "I'm Broke", "Trust?", and the single "Break Stuff" are energetic, and while most likely not satisfying to the tastes of Pantera or Slayer fans, still give a good run for a hard rock fans money. As for "9 Teen 90 Nine", that rides the fence between rock and rap, and does a good job of it.For anyone craving quick beats and rap lyrics, "N 2 Gether Now" with Method Man is a nice addition, and "Just Like This" has some obvious rap influence. With all of the above said, some people may think that Limp Bizkit has no artistic or melodic side. Not true. The guitars are perfectly tuned, and the slower-paced and more melody-based songs such as "No Sex", "Re-Arranged", and "A Lesson Learned" are truly impressive. The last actual song on the album; "Show Me What You Got", makes a good pseudo-ending track, and should have been a single itself.Overall, this album has just about everything in the rapcore world covered, all the way down to the cover art on the CD case. Not to mention the guest appearances of Jonathan Davis from KoRn, Scott Weiland from the Stone Temple Pilots, Aaron Lewis of Staind, Method Man, Matt Pinfield, Les Claypool, and even Fred Durst's mother just before N 2 Gether Now. If you like rapcore, this is a must-have, and although it's a good album, it's not going to be one of those that will live on forever, which is the reason for it's lacking of 5 stars.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Limp Bizkit is the perfect example of everything wrong with the American heavy music scene. The lyrics are unbelievably cliched, the music is poorly executed, and there is almost no real melody. I'm sorry if that hurts,but it's the truth. This "band" is quite awful. All of the songs are verse-chorus-verse, with no progression. The same chords are used repeatedly, with the same pattern. This is why Norway and Sweden have much better scenes. Those countries don't bow to trends, they create them, perfect them, and then surpass them. Don't waste your money on Limp Bizkit, buy some Iced Earth or Shadows Fall, both bands who do the American scene proud. We'll beat those Scandinavians yet!
This band has no talent whatsoever. The lyrics are stupid. The music is weak. Fred Durst could not rap to save his life. The only redeeming quality about this album is that it is not Tommy Lee's "Method of Mayhem." (One of the few albums worse that this). The only reason Limp Bizkit sells albums is because they are TRENDY. To everyone who thinks that Limp Bizkit is "da bomb"(lol): Stop acting like a bunch of sheep. Listen up kiddies, I have a piece of advice: If you see that a band is appearing regularly on the TRL countdown, do not buy their album. No matter how "fresh", "phat", or "dope" Carson tells you it is. DO NOT BUY. These are words to live by.
Limp Bizkit is a joke. Although I am mostly into underground metal, I will admit there are a few decent rap-metal bands out there. Rage Against the Machine are my fave and a very small handful of others have made decent rap-metal. Not Limp Bizkit. Some hate this album just because it's rap-metal, but I hate it just for its absolute lack of songwriting depth. The music really isn't true metal, rather it is simply a mix of pop and rap with moderately heavy guitars added on top. The riffs are simple and uninteresting after just a couple of listens. The song structures are dull and typical of pop. The lyrics are dumb and Fred Durst has to be the most annoying and obnoxious vocalist I have ever heard. (Well, Johnny Rotten may have been more so, but in a good way. Hail the Sex Pistols!) Yes the album is listenable at first but like most pop music its lack of depth completely kills its lasting value. As much as this band rants about pop bands like the Backstreet Boys, they are just as pop and just as depthless. The ending rant is unbelievably ironic considering this band will likely last about as long as the Backstreet Boys, if that long. Rearranged is really the only worthwhile song here and I wouldn't waste my money on this quasi-metal pop [junk]. Limp Bizkit lovers surely think I'm a total idiot and will continue to worship the band thinking they're the greatest thing in the world, but most of them will eventually agree with me even if they don't see that possibility now. Rate it five stars, but in a few years it will be thrown into the corner with your Vanilla Ice and Menudo CD's. And don't say I didn't tell you so…
This is just my opinion, and I must be honest as my conscience dictates…if you're reading this I hope you're mature enough to respect that. Ok, forget the comparisons to earlier albums, the debate on combining genres like rap and metal, or how "hot" the band members are…and let's evaluate what we're all here for…the MUSIC.People, dress it up however you want with scratching, great production values, studio effects and trickery and tons of guest appearances…two chords and superficial music can't be disguised. And that's exactly what this is. Downtune the guitars and write threatening, bad-boy lyrics…it does wonders for your image but can't save the music. The music on this album is elementary, basic and lacking substance. You have 2-3 chords in each song and endless variations of the same song structure or musical (?) idea and rhythm over and over. The songs are, for the most part, tuneless and lacking song structure beyond the now hugely-popular "breakdown soft verse followed by a wall-of-noise chorus". No key changes, no meaningful progressions, no emotion or expressions (beyond rage and testosterone) or significant technical ability. I just don't hear it. And I hate to say this…but Fred Durst cannot rap. I won't go into his singing — it's immensely lacking but that's accepted nowadays as long as you can whisper and then scream — but Fred's rapping is inane and for the most part shows his lack of experience, wit or depth. Method Man completely blasts Fred off the map. It's a noble idea to want to combine genres — we need more of that type of experimentation — but you'd better make sure you excel – or are at least PROFICIENT – in all the genres you try your hand at. The only salvageable thing about this band is the rhythm section…the bassist has good melodic ideas and holds down a pulsing meter…and John Otto, while not a genius, puts out a strong groove, displays a knack for tasty fills and good syncopations, and carries this band at times.Why two stars? Well, some of the songs do groove…and are an adequate channel for expressing rage, frustration or angst. The problem is the WHOLE album is like this…and it sounds contrived and pretentious. ANd when it's not that, it's testosterone-drenched lyrical drivel about sexual exploits or wanting to hurt someone, or how the band is "da bomb"…all immature, superficial, and worse…unoriginal. It's been done before.Kudos, at least, for getting some grooves right…and daring to experiment with songs like "Rearranged" and "Don't Go Off Wandering". I do like some funk/rap/metal…when it's done right (I've been a fan since the Faith No More days, for all you kiddies). I also am into hardcore (Earth Crisis, No Innocent Victim, Vision of Disorder, Madball, etc.). I'm pretty open-minded on genres and styles….but unfortunately, Limp Bizkit's "Significant Other" doesn't deliver on either.

To celebrate African-American Heritage Month, families and friends of all ages gathered in the New Rochelle Public Library's Ossie Davis Theater Saturday to get a taste of African culture.
The dancers performed lively music accompanied with vibrant outfits led by Director Anthony Wooden.
This New Rochelle Downtown Business Improvement District Family Days event attracted a huge audience, as with every year. Normally, this event is combined with a separate African dance lesson, but this was the first year in which no dance lessons were offered because the Ossie Davis Theater was being remodeled. However, there are plans for a make-up lesson this summer, organizers said.
Barbara Davis, community relations coordinator for the library, admired the dancers ability to top each yearly performance.
"I say every year that they are never going to be able to top their last performance," she said. "But they always end up proving me wrong."
Wooden and his dance team were able to connect with all ages from the audience. Kids and adults had the opportunity to go on stage and participate in the performances. The adults even had a man versus woman dance off, but Wooden claims there was no winner because "in unity we all win," he said.
Feb. 2014 will be the 20th anniversary of the Bokandeye African-American Dance Theater, and Wooden is grateful to the community for allowing the growth of his company, which started as only an African dance and drum class.

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights and Iowa St. Cyclones will meet in the second New Era Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium on Friday, December 30.
Iowa State' s up-tempo, spread offense is the kind of system Rutgers revamped its defense to stop, Tom Luicci of The Star-Ledger reports.
"They're very similar to what we've seen against Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Cincinnati," linebacker Khaseem Greene said. "The difference is they have a mobile quarterback who can move and has a big-league arm and can make something happen with his feet."
Greene was referring to Cyclones freshman quarterback Jared Barnett, who has passed for 1,178 yards with six touchdowns and six interceptions, but has used his athleticism to run for 435 yards and a touchdown since replacing Steele Jantz midway through the regular season.
Appearing in a bowl game was a goal of Barnett's, Andrew Logue of The Des Moines Register reports.
This is definitely a goal I've been trying to accomplish," Barnett said. "Now, we've just got to go out and win it."

In the late afternoon bloc of Women's NCAA Tournament games, the North Carolina Tar Heels advanced as expected with a comfortable win over the Fresno State Bulldogs, while both the lower seeds prevailed in the other three games.
Italee Lucas was UNC's leading scorer, dropping 22 in the Tar Heels' 82-68 win. The Heels played 10 women during the game and they all chipped in to carry the load on the glass, which was a necessity due to Fresno State missing a whopping 50 shots. The Bulldogs attempted 50 shots from behind the arc and converted 28 percent of them, not nearly good enough to force the upset.
The other games featured three upsets, though not colossal ones. Gonzaga defeated Iowa 92-86 thanks to Courtney Vandersloot and Kayla Standish putting up 34 and 30 points respectably. St. John's defeated Texas Tech in a low-scoring matchup that featured poor shooting, picking up a 55-50 win. Temple pulled off possibly the most impressive win of this set of games, beating higher seeded Arizona State very comfortably, 63-45.

- Unable to swing, Dunn won't push himself
- White Sox offense thriving at home
- Quintana tries to stretch for success
- Third to first
CHICAGO -- A 50-pitch bullpen thrown by Gavin Floyd on Sunday with relatively no discomfort means it's now on the White Sox to figure out when the right-hander returns to the rotation. Floyd has been on the disabled list retroactive to Aug. 27 with a right elbow flexor strain.
"Everything felt a lot better," said Floyd, who threw 25 pitches, then sat down and then threw 25 more as if he was working in an innings setup. "A couple of times we stopped and it felt a little ... abnormal. But everything felt good."
"Floyd looked fine," White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper said. "He had three sidelines: one we'll call light, second one medium, this was normal. In the second sideline, we mixed in sliders and today we mixed in curveball, sliders and changeups. We mixed them all. It's not pain right now. He threw well and now we're going to discuss where and when we feel it's best to insert him."
Cooper confirmed that Jose Quintana and Jake Peavy will be the White Sox first two starters in the important four-game set against the Tigers beginning Monday. Nothing is certain past those games, and Cooper also didn't list rookie Hector Santiago as the automatic starter to be replaced by Floyd.
Both Quintana and Wednesday starter Francisco Liriano have struggled in their last two starts. The White Sox also could insert Floyd on Thursday and give Chris Sale an extra day.
"There's nobody replacing anybody. Again we're not there," Cooper said. "If Hector goes out there and throws well today, he's throwing good, we'll have to really wrap our minds around that before we take somebody out who's throwing well. We're going to play it by ear. We have a lot of options right now and we'll weigh them all."
Unable to swing, Dunn won't push himself
CHICAGO -- Adam Dunn is making gradual progress in regard to handling everyday activities with his strained right oblique.
"Sneezing is the one that really gets you," said Dunn, shaking his head.
But the one major roadblock for a possible Dunn return to the lineup stands as the power-packed designated hitter being unable to swing the bat.
"It's just swinging," said Dunn, who leads the White Sox with 38 homers and 88 RBIs. "And that's part that I kind of need to do."
Dunn missed the Sept. 1 and 2 games at Comerica Park due to this strain, but returned to knock out three hits in eight at-bats during the Twins series. He had a "jacked-up swing" in that series finale against Minnesota, causing him to aggravate the injury, and leading to his absence from the Royals series.
Whether Dunn will play any of the four games against the Tigers remains a day-to-day decision. But Dunn won't push himself too fast as he did in his Minnesota return.
"Looking back now, I probably would have missed a couple days in Minnesota and probably would have been fine now," Dunn said. "But me being stupid probably cost me a couple extra days, to be honest with you. I was trying to do things I'm not capable of doing, that's getting singles [against Minnesota]. That's not helping anybody.
"[Swinging] is terrible. It's like a hot knife. I can deal with an ankle. I can deal with anything. It gets to the point where it makes you mad because you sneeze and you're doubled over. It feels like you just ripped it in half and it just makes you mad, is what it does."
White Sox offense thriving at home
CHICAGO -- With a .301 average, 28 home runs and 84 runs scored in the last 15 home games, the White Sox offensive attack is thriving at U.S. Cellular Field. The South Siders have hit 47 homers in their last 24 games played here, explaining a large part of their home success.
"We score with the home run, and that's one of the things: it's a park that you can hit home runs," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "You play in Detroit or Kansas City, those are bigger parks and some of the balls you hit don't go out, so you don't get back into a game or get out to a lead.
"Guys are just more comfortable. They're here more. The environment is comfortable for them."
Hitting coach Jeff Manto agrees with Ventura's more comfortable routine theory at U.S. Cellular Field. He also likes the offense's overall position for the final 23 games of the season.
"I really do. We have a couple of guys that aren't hitting balls as well as they can," Manto said. "We might be leaving guys on base more than usually have in the past, but yet it's that time of the year.
"It's easy to say why not just drive in the run. Well, this is pressure. We are playing for something and those at-bats are different than a team not in the race."
Quintana tries to stretch for success
CHICAGO -- Jose Quintana was looking to make a few adjustments during his recent side session in between starts after allowing 15 earned runs over his last 10 2/3 innings. One major change came in his work out of the stretch, where he felt as if he was hurrying his pitches as well as opening up his shoulder more.
"It's something I picked up on and [pitching] coach [Don Cooper] picked up on," said Quintana through translator and White Sox manager of cultural development Jackson Miranda. "It felt good and hopefully that will come across [Monday]."
Quintana has lost his last two starts, with the Twins and Orioles scoring 12 runs combined against him in five innings. But Cooper doesn't expect anything out of the ordinary from the rookie against the Tigers on Monday.
"No matter if you're a rookie or a veteran, we expect you to go out there and give us a chance to win," Cooper said. "This is a pennant race and we're in it and we're trying to win it. We need those guys.
"They're the first line of defense. That's why they get the big bucks because they're paid to go out there and take the bulk of the responsibility, which is six, seven and then more, hopefully, innings each game to give us a chance to win."
Third to first
White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez was scratched from Sunday's starting lineup because he arrived late to U.S. Cellular Field. He was replaced by Ray Olmedo. Ramirez will return to the starting lineup Monday against Detroit.
Kevin Youkilis is expected back Monday, after joining his wife for the birth of their son.
Chris Sale (age 23) earned his 16th win Saturday and Addison Reed (age 23) converted his 26th save, the fifth time Reed has saved a win for Sale this season. According to Elias, it's only the second time since 1992 that a pitcher under the age of 24 has saved at least five victories for a teammate who also was younger than 24. Francisco Rodriguez saved 10 wins for Ervin Santana in 2005.
The White Sox fell to 4-9 in their last 13 games, 5-8 in extra innings overall and 28-28 against the American League Central.
Left-handed hitters are 0-for-18 with 11 strikeouts against Donnie Veal.

Steelers QB Byron Leftwich, who missed the season opener against Atlanta with a sprained left knee, practiced Wednesday on a limited basis.
Even if Leftwich is healthy enough to play Sunday at Tennessee, he will back up Dennis Dixon, whom head coach Mike Tomlin named the starter for this week. Dixon completed 18-of-28 passes for 236 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in Pittsburgh's 15-9 OT win vs. Atlanta.
The way we see it
If Leftwich can return this week, the Steelers' QB depth will be significantly improved. Pittsburgh is without starter QB Ben Roethlisberger for the next three games, and Leftwich gives the Steelers another solid short-term starting option at the position.

Two recent studies of progesterone supplementation validate what the Life Extension Foundation® has contended for many years: restoring the body's supply of natural progesterone confers multiple health benefits, including balancing blood sugar levels, promoting normal sleep, reducing anxiety, and stimulating new bone growth.1,2
Nature has given progesterone to men and women alike to balance and offset the powerful effects of estrogen. Some of the most common concerns of aging women are weight gain, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and migraine. For other women, even more debilitating conditions such as cancer, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and osteoporosis now play a predominant role in their lives.
As men age, complaints of weight gain, loss of libido and prostate enlargement top their list of health concerns. Many physicians and scientists are becoming more aware of a common link between these symptoms and conditions. That common link is often an imbalance between two sex hormones, progesterone and estrogen.
Fasting is not required. Take all medications as prescribed. Progesterone supplements should be taken approximately 2 hours before the blood draw.
This test is included in many Life Extension® blood and urinary panels including the Female Life Extension Panel and the Male Hormone Modulating Panel.

Calypso @ Dirty Jim's Synopsis
Calypso is the soul of Trinidad. For the past three centuries the storytellers are the
« chantwell » of the Creole world. Improvising and « extempo-ing », revolted through their poetry against any kind of censorship, the calypsonians tell stories of slavery, freedom, war and everyday life... emphasising of course for love, with a high dose of humour and sex. Captivating melodies and timeless hits, their rhythms free the bodies of the audience who sings with them the joy and drama of the journey of these Caribbean nations.
« Calypso @ Dirty Jim »s" tell the story of the reconciliation with this generation of artists in the heart of the "Calypso City" and on stage at the infamous « Dirty Jim's Swizzle Club » duly re-encacted for the needs of
this movie.
In Port of Spain, the Calypsonians are getting older and older but their energy is intact. As their voices, « golden voices », full of « soul » and tropical heat !
In a studio, the last grand master came back to sing Calypso classics such as « Rhum and Coca Cola », « Jean & Dinah », « Shame & Scandal in the Family », backed by the musicians of the era of the Dirty Jim. During these exceptional sessions, the singers talk about the beginning of their career, their bohemian life, and the harsh competition to become the King.
Filmed around the Carnival ceremonies, which take over the street with Soca sound-systems, this musical documentary – colourful and moving – is a sensible and original evocation of the Golden age of Calypso.

An Athens State University business and economics professor said to expect a lot of uncertainty if the federal government decides to shuts down next week.
"[It] could domino into people's long term decisions," said ASU's Dr. Tom Pieplow.
According to Forbes, the government looked to several key areas during shutdowns before. Forbes reports all non-essential federal employees could be impacted. That means roughly a third of all federal employees.
Next on that list is the CDD and the IRS which could see shutdowns or furloughs. Forbes reports the ATF could have issues processing much of their paperwork and finally, all national parks and museums would shut their doors during the shutdown.
"Anything doing with the care and feeding of our soldiers is going to be accommodated," said Pieplow.
According to Forbes, federal contractors will remain working because their contracts have already been accounted for. Federal courts could stay open for at least ten days due to the fees previously collected. Forbes reports social security benefits would continue, air traffic controllers would stay on the job, and the NSA would continue its work. Finally, the US mail would continue to be delivered.

During my
seminary years, my teachers prepared me to escort men and women who wished to
become Jews through a comprehensive and carefully sculpted process of Jewish
discovery: there were books to be read, classes to be taken, practices to be
observed, museums to be visited, holidays to be celebrated. Whenever a
congregant said, "Rabbi, I would like to convert to Judaism," I would be
prepared to respond.
But what was I to do with those congregants who would not make such a
Just weeks into my first job as a rabbi, I was called upon to co-officiate at
a bris and naming service for a baby boy born to the Weingartens, active
congregants at our temple. This was their third child. The father, Steve, was
Jewish; the mother, Sally, was not. Steve and Sally embraced the reasons for
circumcising their son le'shem gerut (for the purpose of his ritual
conversion), and yet a mother who wasn't a Jew would still raise him. "Perhaps I
should offer Sally an opportunity to pursue conversion," I thought. "Maybe she
needs me to raise the subject." But I could not bring myself to do it. An inner
voice said: This is not your process to start.
Over the next few months, I discovered the distinctiveness of Sally's Jewish
soul. Having never been pressured by Steve to convert, she was freed to explore
Judaism organically and inquisitively. It did not take long for Sally to surpass
even Steve as the clear driving force for their family's spirited engagement in
Jewish observance and learning at our temple. A frequent Shabbat worshiper, she
sang the words of the siddur (prayer book) with joyous conviction. As a
regular student in our weekly Torah portion class, she offered incisive comments
that often echoed the teachings of our greatest sages. She was wholly committed
to synagogue voluntarism as well. Sally was everything a rabbi could want in a
congregant. She just didn't happen to be a Jew.
While Sally and I were still getting to know each other, her mother died.
Quickly, a spontaneous "shiva" gathering unfolded at the home of this
Episcopalian woman who had lost her Episcopalian mother. Our congregants, young
and old, came to fulfill the commandment of nichum avelim (comforting the
mourner). I remained in the house until the other visitors departed. As the
embers in the fireplace died down, Sally and I sat in the living room and talked
about her childhood home, her mother's parenting, her Christian upbringing in
numerous towns and cities in the U.S. and abroad. And then, finally, I could no
longer resist asking her the question.
"Sally, do you ever think about converting to Judaism?"
Her answer came quickly. "Not really."
I could hardly conceal my surprise. "You're so deeply immersed in our Jewish
community," I said. "Look at this turnout tonight. Don't you feel like you just
ought to be a Jew?"
"It's not that I wouldn't be honored to be a Jew," Sally explained. "But it
doesn't feel right to me. I hold the Jewish people in such high regard—almost in
awe. It's such a remarkable heritage…such a deeply meaningful history. It
doesn't feel to me like something one can rightly choose. I'm proud to live
among the Jewish people and to bestow Jewish identity upon my children. I don't
know, however, if I could ever imagine feeling as though I am, in fact, a Jew.
Does that make sense?"
"Of course…that's fine," I said, not wanting to seem like a proselytizing
bully, but wondering whether her statement actually did make sense.
Over the next few years, Sally's Jewish worship, study, and family practices
intensified. She even became a key participant on a temple task force that
created and shepherded a variety of new experimental models for lifelong Jewish
education. Sally's "non-Jewishness" seemed increasingly incongruous, yet I
couldn't bring myself to revisit the conversion question.
Then, one afternoon, four years after our conversation, Sally poked her head
into my office and said, "Rabbi, do you have a second? I'd like to know what's
involved in the conversion process. I think I want to convert to Judaism."
Stunned, I asked, "You once told me that conversion was really not an option
for you—what changed?"
"It's hard to describe," Sally replied. "This past Friday at services, a
wonderful feeling of home washed over me. During L'cha Dodi, I
looked over at Marge Miller [a past temple president], who was singing her heart
out. She's there all the time, just like me. This is our place; Shabbat is our
time. We smiled warmly at one another and I had this compelling feeling of
profound communion and solidarity. It somehow reopened the conversion question
in my mind. Perhaps, I thought, I am no longer with the Jews…I am now of the
Jews. Judaism isn't a choice for me to consider anymore; I have already chosen
it. So what's the process for me to convert?"
As my heart filled with joy for Sally, her family, and our community, I
focused on her question. It was different than the one my teachers had prepared
me to answer. What should be the conversion process for someone like
Instinctively, I took my cue from her. "Agreed," I said. "You have already
chosen Judaism. So I'm not going to send you to a class or ask you to read a
book that you've probably already read. What's the 'process' for you to convert?
The past 20 years have been your process. Let's study Hebrew names together and
make a good choice for you, and then let's book a date for beit din and
Sally was overjoyed. And so was I.
Through the years, I've frequently reconsidered Sally's question: "What is
the process for me to convert?"
In many ways, she and our congregation had instinctively forged a natural
path for her becoming a Jew without the "product-driven" direction of a
conversion process. Sally's—or any congregant's—interest in discovering Judaism
did not dictate a change in formal religious identity. Our congregation welcomed
interfaith families sensitively and enthusiastically. The presence of other men
and women like her strengthened her willingness to seek religious community for
herself, and not just for her children. No one thought of her or treated her as
a disappointment because she was disinterested in conversion; and neither did
anyone seek to make her choice not to convert irrelevant by treating her
ritually as a Jew. Because she was respected and honored for exactly who she
was, she knew that she would also be respected and honored as a Jew if ever she
chose to become one. Sally's "process" also included a rabbi who asked
her directly—albeit perhaps too sheepishly—if she might be interested in
conversion. While it would be wholly inappropriate for a Jew to pressure
non-Jews to choose Judaism, so would refraining from asking at all. Silence
might convey that we don't care about them, that we don't notice them, that
their conversion doesn't matter to us, or even worse, that we'd rather they
refrain from joining us. Today, when social identity categories are more
fluid than ever, an increasing number of trajectories may lead to the choice of
Judaism. We, as a Jewish community, need to be ready to create the
conditions—the conversion "process"—that will meet the moment.
Ken Chasen is senior rabbi at Leo Baeck Templein Los Angeles. At the time

Let's replace the current double standard in college athletics with a higher standard. Let's focus for a moment on the athletes that are considered the "best of the best" - the scholarship athletes.
When there has been a brush up with the law with one of these exceptional athletes have you noticed how most programs handled? The answer is – it depends and it's not consistent. From the outside looking in one could surmise it all depends on how important that young man is to the program and what they mean or could mean to a team's success on the field of play.
Criminal activity in college sports is nothing new and has occurred in all divisions, all conferences and in all states – but hasn't the time come where we put a University's academic credibility and student body safety above points on a scoreboard or ticket sales?
Would a university deal with a situation regarding criminal activity from a high profile professor in the same manner it would from a high profile quarterback? I think we all could agree that it would not. One ouster would affect a classroom the other a 100,000 seat stadium.
It's high time to end any special treatment for student athletes who break the law. Let's continue to raise the bar of excellence and expectation for these student athletes on the field and just as important – off.

Millions of us fly aboard airliners every day. But few people consider how we began flying. That's why Kermit Weeks and Ken Kellet are replicating the very first airliner.
"We have to make sure the airplane gets finished, gets flown, the engine works. We're tackling a lot of things right here," said Weeks, founder of the Fantasy of Flight aviation attraction in Polk City.
The plane they're building is a replica of the Benoist (pronounced ben-wha). It was named for the designer of the flying boat piloted by Tony Jannus on the world's first regularly scheduled airline flight. It happened on January 1, 1914 between St. Petersburg and Tampa.
Weeks plans to recreate the flight exactly 100 years later. But, right now, the replica he plans to fly is in pieces.
It's Kellet's job to make the pieces and put it all together. It's like a puzzle.
"Because I don't have any information, I have to figure every single part out."
That's because the original blueprints of the plane were lost. Using historical pictures and descriptions, Kellet and other craftsmen have made the parts, including the giant, 44-foot wings that will lift the plane 15 feet or so above the water, just as Jannus flew it.
Weeks has flown dozens of different airplanes, but admits piloting one using simulated 1914 controls will be challenging. For practice, he's flying a replica of a 1909 Herring-Curtiss Pusher, one of many unusual planes at Fantasy of Flight. It's loud, and looks like something between a motorcycle and a large kite.
He smiles and laughs as we leave the ground.
"This is basically the speed that the Benoist is going to fly, 45 to 50 miles an hour," he yells, as we level off over a Polk County lake.
It's definitely not the airliner of today, but everything starts somewhere. And Weeks and Kellet are making sure that first flight is remembered.

On the heels of the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy, there is a heightened awareness of mental health -- but funding may not be there for some eastern Iowa schools.
Local school officials are stressing the need to identify students with mental health symptoms early, but because of school funding, they may have their hands tied.
A lot of school counselors need to be reactive rather than proactive now, simply because they are the main resource to hundreds of students, officials say.
On Monday, Waverly Shell-Rock superintendent Jere Vyverberg asked the board to consider a resolution stating schools need a 4 percent allowable growth budget increase.
The board agreed, and now that will be brought to the legislature.
Without that funding, the district can't pay for needed personnel, such as school counselors for the school. Vyverberg said the school's system is one counselor and one at-risk or family advocator short.
Those are key people when it comes to helping students with mental health.
The counselors at WSR do their best to be there for the students, but they say they need more help so students can get help earlier.
"(They) would be identified, treated, and there would be follow-up treatment that would continue with that student all the way through graduation and beyond," said Vyverberg. "But now, we can't do that. We aren't able to identify enough students and we aren't able to support parents well enough just because we don't have the personnel to do it."
Waverly-Shell Rock does have a program called Community Health Outreach Network, to bring in mental health services for the students who need them.
It's a feature designed so parents don't have to take off work and students won't miss school.
That program has been around for 10 years.
School officials say the teachers have done a great job recognizing problems as well.

Backordered. 7635 Riedel Sommeliers Vintage Port (P/N 4400/60). The Riedel Sommeliers Vintage Port glass helps to bring out the classic aromas of vintage port: blackcurrant, pepper, truffles, and smoky notes. These aromas can sometimes be marked by the pungency of port's high alcoholic content—an effect that the small, slender shape of this glass succeeds in avoiding. All the luscious, fresh red fruit is brought to the forefront, with acidity and tannins blending together in a sweet harmony.The glass measures approximately 6 3/4 inches high by 2 3/4 inches wide and holds approximately 8.8 ounces. Hand wash recommended.Price shown for single stem.
Available in late October. Riedel's premier collection, the Sommeliers line, is developed by experts to flatter a specific type of fine wine or liquor.

Mannywood madness set to engulf LA
Suspension in past, slugger returning to hometown hailing
Manny Ramirez will return to Mannywood on Thursday night as his comeback from a 50-game suspension for a positive drug test continues at Dodger Stadium against the Astros.The Dodgers open a nine-game homestand that continues through July 26, so there will be plenty of time for Ramirez's faux dreadlock-wearing fans to hail him from the Mannywood section of the lower left-field stands in fair territory. The promotion -- two T-shirts and two tickets for $99 -- is back on track for the first time since Ramirez was suspended May 7 for what turned out to be the use of a fertility drug called human chorionic gonadotropin. And like Dodger Stadium as a whole Thursday, the roughly 500 seats are expected to be sold out. "We welcome him back with open arms, but we aren't glorifying his return," Charles Steinberg, the team's executive vice president of communications, told The Associated Press. "The magic of the return is the embrace from the fans that will see him again. We're keeping the focus on the team, of which Manny is an integral part." The homestand also includes a long-ago scheduled Ramirez bobblehead night next Wednesday, July 22, against the Reds -- a game that's also expected to have a fan in every seat. Manny has weathered his return both mentally and physically as well as anyone could have anticipated. After a five-game Minor League rehab stint, Ramirez returned to the Dodgers' lineup on July 3 at PETCO Park in San Diego, where at least half the crowd of 42,217 seemed to be blue-clad L.A. fans who made the trek 120 miles south down the San Diego Freeway. He didn't have a hit that night in four plate appearances. Manny's initial three-stop return before the All-Star break included sets in New York and Milwaukee, where Ramirez told waiting media what he said in San Diego: He wasn't going to talk about drugs or his suspension. He had already apologized to the fans, Dodgers ownership and his teammates, and he didn't need to explain anything further. The 50-game suspension was tough, Ramirez said. "But it's over. I'm moving on." And move on the slugger has. After a slow start, Manny's batting .379 (11-for-28) with three homers, two doubles, nine RBIs, a .471 on-base percentage and a .759 slugging percentage in the nine games since his return. He's been ejected from one game, but he's hit safely in his past six. That's a more torrid pace than the .348 batting average, six homers and 20 RBIs he had in 27 games on May 6, the last day he played before his suspension.

Youkilis makes the cut
First baseman, Big Papi both eligible on All-Star Game ballot
BOSTON -- The Red Sox certainly had good intentions when they contacted Major League Baseball a few days ago to see if Kevin Youkilis could still be listed at first base on the players' ballot instead of David Ortiz, who is winning by a wide margin on the fans' ballot.
It's just that the move won't be necessary. Upon further research, Phyllis Merhige, who serves as vice president/club relations for MLB, discovered that Ortiz and Youkilis were both listed on the players' ballot last year.
In other words, both players are eligible to be on that ballot this year, as well.
It's similar for the White Sox, who have both Paul Konerko and designated hitter Jim Thome listed at first, or with the Tigers, who have four outfielders (including DH Gary Sheffield) listed on the players' ballot.
While the fans vote for the starting position players, the players are responsible for voting in the majority of the reserves. The All-Star managers select the final seven spots, with input from MLB. Four of those seven spots go to pitchers.
Because Youkilis isn't listed on the fan ballot, the Red Sox wanted to make sure he received proper consideration for the team.
"He's having a good year," Ortiz said of Youkilis on Thursday. "I think being in the All-Star Game would be a really good experience for him."
