credit card issue
I received a warning that my credit card was expiring and that I needed to do something to still get the special automatic renewal price for CM. I called my bank today and found out that my
credit card number will still be the same with my new card. However when I click the update credit card button, the link doesn't work. I definitely still want to get the special renewal price, so please do something if you can.

5 Celebs You Might Find in Blue Ivy Carter's Family Tree
After the female powerhouse collaboration "Telephone," Beyonce and Gaga became certified hitmaker gal pals. Gaga told MTV News in a 2009 interview how much she respected Bey: "And I had kinda lost faith a little bit in meeting artists in the business, then I met Beyoncé. And she is a real, real woman." Godmother Monster is a title Stephanie Germanotta would definitely take on with paws up.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Isabel Marant has mastered the art of designing hits. Her wedge sneakers, bow pumps, fringed boots, and so on became instant must-haves. Every girl wants that boho-Parisian-chic look that Marant does so well. And soon, they'll have a new way to get it, because the French designer has teamed up with Oliver Peoples to launch her first-ever sunglasses collection for spring. Two shapes—an oversized called Daria and an aviator dubbed Matt—will be hitting stores this month. Each style comes in five colors, and the lenses are so light that you could get away with wearing the shades on a cloudy day, or even inside. As Marant put it, "I wanted timeless sunglasses that you can wear every day, even when it rains. To me, accessories make your look." The sunglasses are priced at $365, and will be available at Oliver Peoples, Isabel Marant boutiques, and select retailers.

The U.S. economy grew at a 3.5-percent annual rate in the first quarter, faster than the 3.1 percent estimated a month ago, the Commerce Department reported.
The revisions to real gross domestic product were largely due to an unexpected decline in the trade deficit in March.
The upward revision was just shy of analysts' expectations. Economists were predicting a revision to about 3.6 percent. The economy grew at a 3.80 percent rate in the fourth quarter of 2004. The core personal consumption expenditure price index rose 2.2 percent, unchanged from the initial estimate last month. (MarketWatch)

Park Invites Students to Enter Film Festival
Contact: Jessica Ferracane, 808-985-6018
Hawaii National Park, Hawaiʻi - Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park is ready for its close up, and invites students to focus their cameras on the park and enter the fourth annual Digital Mountain Film Festival.
Student filmmakers from seventh to twelfth grade can contact Park Ranger Kūpono McDaniel to arrange filming and editing at the park, and beginners are welcome. Ranger Kūpono can be reached at 985-6015 or e-mail us.
"This is an opportunity not only for students to express what Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park means to them in a creative, fun way, but for the park to see how we are perceived by our youth - the ones who will be the future stewards of public lands," said McDaniel.
The short films will be uploaded by park staff to YouTube, and the public will be able to vote for their favorite films online starting Nov. 12. The deadline for all entrants is Nov. 5. The park will loan cameras to students who need them.
The Digital Mountain Film Festival culminates on Dec. 1 at 6 p.m. with a celebration and public showing of the films at the park's Kīlauea Visitor Center Auditorium. Winners, who have a chance to win Mac laptop computers and digital cameras, will be announced at the festival.
This project was made possible in part by a grant from the National Park Foundation through the generous support of L.L. Bean, Disney, the Anschutz Foundation, and the Ahmanson Foundation.
Additional help, funding, and support comes from the Friends of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, Hawaiʻi Pacific Parks Association, and the Big Island Film Office.
For more information, contact Ranger Kūpono McDaniel at 985-6015 or e-mail us, and visit the festival's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/DigitalMountainFilmFestival.

CATEGORIES Movies, News/Reactions, Sci-FiIs there anyone out there who hates Paranormal Activity, Oren Peli's incredibly effective dive into "found footage" filmmaking? Judging by the fact that it sold out every single one of its midnight showings in 33 different cities last weekend, I think it's safe to say that people are loving the idea of being terrified Blair Witch style without having to commit to the false idea that what they're seeing is reportedly real footage. Sure, Peli's film made for roughly $15,000 is a genuinely frightening breath of fresh air, but what I admire most about is its refusal, from a marketing and narrative standpoint, to try and sucker viewers into thinking it is anything but a damn good haunted house simulation.
So how does one follow up faux found footage from a haunted house? With faux found footage from Area 51, of course. Variety is reporting that two groups of investors have locked down $5,000,000 for Oren Peli to make a film that tells, "the story of three teens whose curiosity leads them to the notorious "Area 51" part of Nellis Air Force Base in the Nevada desert."
Though the details are vague beyond that, Variety does quote Peli as saying "I'd rather not say anything about 'Area 51' except that I am very pleased to be working with the same team who stood by me for the two or three years it took 'Paranormal Activity' to get into theaters". So, considering that Peli is going to be retaining the same crew but will have an over 300% increase in budget, I think it's safe to say that the visual dial is going to be turned to 11 on this one. Sure, staging an Air Force base is going to cost some coin, but I'd like to assume that a good chunk of that purse is going to be squirreled away for some creature effects.
Which is both great news and terrible news. I'm thrilled that Peli will be returning to a formula that he's proven perfect for with only one film, and I'm thrilled that he's not merely calling it Paranormal Activity 2 and setting up infrared cameras in another home, but I'm absolutely terrified at the prospect of aliens being brought into the fold. I've had a crippling fear of visitors from space since I was a child, mainly because between the age of 6 to 9 I had a recurring nightmare that a bulbous headed creature was hovering outside my window watching me sleep.
Seeing that put to film is probably going to put me back into the fetal position for another three years. Damn you, Oren Peli and your alluring "found footage". I can dismiss something like the upcoming Milla Jovovich alien abduction flick The Fourth Kind because, despite its claims that it's all real, it reeks of Hollywood. But when you remove that protective barrier, even if you're not claiming what we're seeing is truth, the images just dive right under my skin. The more you tell me it isn't real, the more I'm into it. Funny how that works.

Rarely do I leave a review but
everything was great from start to finish!"

The chocolate molten cake was to
die for! Best thing on the menu. When I asked how do they do this, the waiver responded softly: "magic". Unfortunately the hake wasn't cooked 100% through, but that we overlooked that due to the fine quality of the food generally."
Dined on 8/15/2014
The food was prepared very well
taste and visual appeal wise. Service was great. Only downside/perk I had was the fact the restaurant did not have any cellular reception. Only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars overall"
Dined on 8/15/2014
Food was delicious! It was a
foodie delight! The restaurant menu included something different, shashimi w/coconut sauce, and lemon sorbet. This is what we look for as foodies, a new food experience. Bravo Perry St.! The best food I had of all 5 new restaurants that I visited during Restaurant Week. Service was excellent!"
Dined on 8/15/2014
Calamari good. Salmon sashimi was
with flavorfully spiced broth but salmon could have used touch of sea salt. Fried chicken not particuarly seasoned, breast meat dry!!! Rabbit was excellent. Molten chocolate cake, a cliche but excellent! Chef cooks with spiced Asian flair. Would go back. However they should not allow children below 5, as there was a screaming baby!!!!!! And I mean screaming!! Why parents have such a sense of entitlement is beyond me! You can afford to eat here? Then you can afford a babysitter. Get one! Or pay for everyone' s meal because you have ruined theirs. Management needs to exercise discretion because it ruins dining experience for others. ( yes I have a child too)."
Dined on 8/15/2014
Absolutely one of the best dining
experiences I've had in NYC! The crafted cocktails, professional and friendly service and superlative food will ensure that I will be back. I went there for Restaurant Week and was impressed that they did not skimp on the portion sizes or make us feel like second class citizens as one us ordered off the $38 'deal' menu.The entrees,we had the butter poached lobster and the fried chicken, were terrific and the cocktails were much better than they had to be --- impressive that they make their own cola for their version of a rum and coke, for example. Our server was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the food and have us some expert recommendations."

It is more out of politeness that
I continue to rate the superb service and food at Perry Street. Consistent, delicious, imaginative in a wonderful setting with excellent wine value at lunch. Staff are attentive without being intrusive. Kitchen is competent and you will find many themes lovingly prepared a la Jean George's other dining rooms. We continue to enjoy the food, atmosphere and recommend the serenity of lunch to anyone in the neighborhood. You should try it, you most likely will love it too."
Dined on 8/11/2014
Went for Restaurant Week, but got
sidetracked by all the delicious offerings on their menu. Salmon sushi starter with light, crisp lemongrass sauce was my favorite, though everything was delicious (we also tried the calamari, & fried chicken and lobster mains The mint ice cream served with the chocolate mouse was exceptional. Molten chocolate cake also a great choice. Service was spot on and very attentive. Tables are a bit close to each other, so not the place for a romantic meal or private conversation, but that didn't bother us at all. Loved it - will be back!"
Dined on 8/10/2014
really enjoyed all aspects of the
restaurant. Everything was first class from the food to the service to the friendly and helpful staff"
Dined on 8/9/2014
The food was amazing but the fried
calamari was the best part. It was very different and 10x better than what I had at other restaurants!"
Dined on 8/9/2014
This restaurant is located at the
bottom of an unassuming apartment building which you might miss, but the food is fantastic and the service is great. We selected the crispy calamari and sweet pea soup as appetizers, mussels and the fried chicken as our main followed by the chocolate cake and sorbet for dessert (from their summer brunch menu). All the dishes were good but the crispy calamari was especially delightful and so were the mussels that came in a lovely Thai broth. Service was excellent too with the hostess quickly ushering us to our table when we came in and our waitress being very attentive and courteous. We will definitely come again."
Dined on 8/9/2014
The ambience was very clean and
the food was great. Also, the cocktails were eclectic and tasted great."
Dined on 8/8/2014
Despite ongoing construction in
the fancy building, the setting is elegant and very pleasing. Service was exceptional. Food was representative of the typically excellent Jean George experience - superbly flavored and beautifully presented. Nothing to disappoint here."
Dined on 8/8/2014
We had the restaurant week dinner
that had only two choices for each of 3 courses. Between us, we tried all the offerings. As it turned out one of the first course was excellent and the other much too skimpy and nothing special. Of the main courses, both were very good but one contained enough food for someone who was hungry and the second, though delicious was too small to satisfy the hunger for someone who is used to having a dinner that would sustain him through the night. Desserts were delicious though not unusual or special"
Dined on 8/8/2014
Graciousness is the word for Perry
Street, from the extremely charming hostess to the gentle servers who materialise behind you, to the way improbable combinations like salmon sashimi and ice cream manage to nit only work but excel. A lovely space and place."
Dined on 8/8/2014
Fried chicken is a must-try! I was
there around 9 p.m. Thursday night, when the place was still somewhat crowded but by the time we finished eating, it was quiet, romantic."
Dined on 8/7/2014
The bread was stale, and the amuse
bouche was a glaring, disagreeable strawberry gazpacho that was basically a vinegar blast with not much supporting character. While the yuzu broth for the salmon sashimi and the miso-glaze for the hake were both very good tasting, neither worked very well with their respective fish-ingredient. The broth/sauce overwhelmed the neither tender nor especially flavorful salmon. The sweet miso glaze was laid on the top of the thick ( not extremely fresh ) tranche of hake ... the "sauced" component of the fish was very sweet, contrasting, inauspiciously with the unglazed portions. The bread, too, was clearly not fresh ... a regrettable"
Dined on 8/7/2014
Every dish and every ingredient
was excellent. True fine dining."
Dined on 8/7/2014
I would eat here every day if I

Salmon Tartar, Hake and Chocolate

Dined on 8/6/2014
Went for Restaurant Week lunch and
it was excellent, food, service and ambience. The Restaurant Week menu was not the usual small portions or less than top notch food but it was really excellent value. There was also a nice bottle of wine at a very reasonable price to go with the meal. The restaurant is to be congratulated on delivering great value and food. It might be a little out of the way, but worth the diversion."
Dined on 8/6/2014
Beautiful WV restaurant with great
ambiance, food and cocktail menu"
Dined on 8/5/2014
I am a bit disappointed by my
recent experience at Perry St. We had ordered the restaurant week menu. The entire meal was served over the course of 50 minutes. The "amuse bouche" were served as the appetizers were coming in. The rest of meal was rushed to on our table in a similar fashion - casting some doubts on how/when the food was prepared. Also I should mention that you should not be too keen on having bread with your meal, which was eaten with the appetizer; the bread plate remaining helplessly empty for the rest of the meal. Further, the portion served with the restaurant week menu are small - which is inconsistent with similar restaurants in the neighborhood and maybe also the spirit of restaurant week. "Dommage!""
Dined on 8/5/2014
Perry Street Restaurant Week menu
was quite limited. But the food was worth the schlepp over to the West Side. Appetizers of beet salad or sashimi type plate were great, and the 2 entrees were also superb. The hake was a tiny portion, but every bite was perfect. The fried chicken was more ample, spicy, moist and delicious. Desserts were also wonderful, a rich, molten chocolate cake or a light fresh berry dish, perfect for the summer. We were all quite thrilled. Our bottle of wine was not cheap, but it was quite nice. My one criticism was the sparse wine list. They need more choices at a greater diversity of prices."
Dined on 8/5/2014
Good dishes, service needs
refining, yet outstanding location and gorgeous room and bar."
Dined on 8/4/2014
Exquisite and simple decor.
Unfortunately, at the time I was there, there was construction being done on the outside, so it was hard to recognize it as a restaurant. The dishes were appropriate portions for a single serving of food, unlike other places where they make you feel guilty for not being able to gorge a mountain of their cuisine. The dishes are creative twists on foods you already know and love. My salmon was a little undercooked for my preference, but it may have been my fault while ordering (since I am usually not asked how I want my fish prepared). My husband was a little underwhelmed with his fried chicken, but I thought it was quite tasty. Servers are the best I've ever had. Overall, great meal and experience!"
Dined on 8/4/2014
Starting with the service,
everything was on the dot! The food was exquisite -I would highlight the steak tartar and the peach salad- but the brioche sponge cake for dessert was the best part!"

restaurant week at this restaurant
is a real pass...the selection is not good and they changed all the that items that go together to the cheapest combinations possible....the wine list is a disgrace....very very small selection and very expensive for what it is...have been there several times before and loved it...this was my last time...."

Spacious so great for groups.
Food from the prix-fixe menu of restaurant week isn't bad, they had two options. My bf & I picked one of each. Both were delicious, from appetizers to dessert. A lil too far off a walk since it's off West Side Highway but I guess I could use a lil walk after eating :)"

I arrived there 20 min later than

menu which was $38 prix fixe. The salmon and chicken were excellent. Every course was a surprise made from common foods. Would love to go back!"

I have never eaten at Perry St.
before so I had no expectations. The food was so beautifully and lovingly prepared, not to mention delicious. The calamari appetizer was the most tender I've ever tasted, and I've tasted a lot. The sesame dipping sauce was wonderful. The fried chicken was a slight disappointment, however; very pedestrian flavor. The molten chocolate cake and ice cream was superb. Overall, it was perhaps the most enjoyable Restaurant Week meal I have experienced. Can't wait to go back."

Welcome back to another edition of Five Numbers, where this week's installment discusses the following topics:
- Alex Rodriguez's league-leading ability to drive runners home
- How this year's Angels are different from versions of years past
- How the Rays have excelled at shutting down rallies
- How Stephen Strasburg's DL stints don't indicate that major injuries are an inevitability for a young power pitcher
- How Joey Votto is doing something incredible beyond what is already incredible
If any of those topics sound interesting to you, read on. If none of those topics interest you at all, you are my brother. Hey, Brian. I know, I know, I'll call you soon. I just haven't found the time. How's the girlfriend? Looking forward to seeing you guys for Christmas.
1. 21.3%
Remember Alex Rodriguez from a few years ago? Alex Rodriguez a few years ago was a guy with all the talent in the world, but a crippling inability to deliver when it mattered. Or so the story went, anyway. He hadn't won a title, he had trouble hitting in the playoffs, and even in run-of-the-mill clutch situations during the regular season, he was a shell of his usual self, the pressure allegedly getting to him and doing something to his swing.
A-Rod, of course, by now has put that reputation to rest. He was one of the most clutch hitters in baseball a year ago. He batted .365 in the playoffs with an .808 slugging percentage. He won his first world championship. Over the course of the 2009 season, Alex Rodriguez punched his media-driven reputation in the face and spit in its eye and called it a little bitch.
But lest you believe that A-Rod's sudden ability to perform under pressure was a one-time deal, he's come back and come through once more in 2010 for the first-place Yankees. Many of us followed along as he chased after and blasted through the 600 home run landmark, an individual accomplishment that put a lot of weight on A-Rod's shoulders. That, though, isn't the only example. See, Alex is currently sitting at 97 RBI - the second-highest mark in baseball - and he's leading the league in another, related category.
People love to talk about RBI, but RBI has a lot of problems, not the least of which is that it's a product of context. Players in the middle of good lineups will get more RBI opportunities than players at the bottom of bad lineups, which skews the numbers. Thankfully, Baseball Prospectus has cooked up an adjustment. Rather than reporting straight RBI, they provide RBI, RBI opportunities, and a percent-success stat that solves at least one of RBI's biggest drawbacks.
Alex Rodriguez has come to the plate 241 times this year with men on base. Over those 241 plate appearances, A-Rod has batted with 357 individual baserunners. And of those 357 individual baserunners, A-Rod has driven 76 of them in, for a rate of 21.3%.
You'll note that this excludes the self-RBI from home runs. Simply in terms of driving other people in, A-Rod's posted a 21.3% efficiency to date, which leads the league. In second place is Delmon Young, at 20.7% (73/353), and in third place is the injured Kendry Morales, at 20.6% (28/136). Miguel Cabrera, who leads all of baseball in straight RBI, ranks 19th here, having driven in 73 of 394 baserunners.
Alex Rodriguez, through nearly five months of the 2010 regular season, has driven in baserunners at a higher clip than anyone else in baseball. He's also driven himself in 21 times for good measure. When presented with the opportunities, Alex Rodriguez has been something of an RBI machine.
Should we expect this to keep up? Should we expect A-Rod to continue as the best RBI bat in the league? No, we shouldn't. At least, not as long as A-Rod's just an .818 OPS hitter. But there's the whole thing. Just as we shouldn't expect A-Rod's exceptional success to continue, nor should anyone have ever believed that his exceptional failures would continue. Alex was always a magnificent hitter. It just took him a while for his numbers across all situations to catch up to his numbers overall.
Alex Rodriguez wasn't unclutch before, and he isn't ultraclutch now. Alex Rodriguez is and has always simply been Alex Rodriguez. And that's plenty good enough.
2. -17.4
When you see the Angels sitting at 63-65, ten games back of the first place Rangers, you know something hasn't quite gone according to plan. The Angels won the division in 2004. They won the division in 2005. The won the division in 2007, and 2008, and 2009, and though they didn't win the division in 2006, they finished in second and won 89 games. Believe it or not, the Angels have been something of a modern day dynasty - not in terms of championships won, but in terms of championship opportunities. Over a six-year span, they averaged 95 wins and a first place finish, and in today's baseball it's incredibly difficult for a non-Yankees team to pull off that kind of run.
Which makes 2010 all the more disappointing. The Angels and their fans have probably known for a while that such a level of success was unsustainable, and that the team was overdue for some struggles, but to struggle to the degree we've seen this season is remarkable, as more often than not, the Angels haven't looked like themselves. Said Mike Scioscia a few weeks ago:
"We're not a perfect club, but certainly on the offensive side, we're underachieving, and have been for a while ... We're better than we've shown for a while now, and that's what we have to keep focusing on."
Now, for any team with a sub-.500 record and a -20 run differential, there will be a number of things that haven't gone right. The Angels, most certainly, miss Kendry Morales. Brandon Wood was awful in his extended third base tryout. The bullpen hasn't been good. Scott Kazmir's been a disaster. There's no shortage of players and elements that have in some way contributed to the Angels' third-place standing.
I've got a favorite, though. Not because it's the most meaningful, or the most crippling. It's just because of what it is, and who we're talking about. In addition to the stuff about RBI opportunities, Baseball Prospectus also keeps track of a team's effectiveness on the basepaths. They provide a team baserunning report that measures, in runs, how good or bad a team has been on the bases by looking at stolen bases, advancements on grounders, advancements on fly balls, and the like. The Rays and Mets, for example, are tied for having been the best baserunning teams to date, at +13.0 - meaning their baserunning has been worth 13 runs above average.
In last place? The Angels, at -17.4. They're worse than the Diamondbacks, at -15.0. They're worse than the Royals, at -13.1. They're worse than everybody. The Angels, through August 25th, have been the worst baserunning team in the league.
The biggest factor here has been their problem with stolen bases. They Angels have stolen successfully 79 times, but they've also been caught on 44 occasions, for a below-average rate of 64%. Torii Hunter stands out as being by far the biggest negative, having been caught 11 times in 20 attempts. By percent, the Angels haven't been the worst base-stealing team in baseball, but by runs, they have, as their failures have come in more damaging situations.
Where the Angels have been worst on the bases when trying to steal, it's worth noting that they haven't shined in other situations. They haven't been good at advancing on grounders. They haven't been good at advancing on flies. They haven't been good at advancing on hits. In their best baserunning category, the Angels have been about average. In their worst, they've been a disaster.
It isn't notable that some team is in last. Some team always has to be in last. It's notable that the team in last is the Angels, who for so long made annoying things like fundamentals and baserunning a big part of their identity. Sciosciaball, and all that. The Angels would grind out tough at bats, and they'd scratch their way on, and they'd steal, and they'd go first-to-third, and they would beat you with their aggressiveness. No longer. This team hasn't just been worse on the bases. It's been the worst team in baseball.
The Mariners may not have picked up the mojo they thought they'd be getting when they signed Chone Figgins away from their rival, but given how little has changed in team makeup, one can't help but wonder whether the bulk of the Angels' annoying identity rested on Figgins' tiny shoulders.
3. .645
Earlier in the year, I spent some time in this column talking about the difference between the Rays' offense with nobody on base and the Rays' offense with runners in scoring position. Though the team's numbers weren't impressive on the surface, they blew through the roof in run-scoring situations, which played a big part in how the team stormed out of the gate with a 32-12 record. Since then, the split has regressed, and the Rays lineup has behaved far more normally.
That, though, is only half of it. See, it wasn't just the Tampa Bay offense that was excelling in run-scoring situations. It was also the Tampa Bay pitching staff. And only the Tampa Bay offense has slowed down.
The pitchers have only continued to post terrific numbers with the pressure on, and it's all made very apparent with the following split:
League average OPS against, bases empty: .716
League average OPS against, RISP: .752
Rays OPS against, bases empty: .718
Rays OPS against, RISP: .645
The average pitching staff has been worse with runners in scoring position than with men on, by about 36 points of OPS. The Rays, on the other hand, have been better by 73. This is far and away the broadest positive split in the league, blowing away the second-place Mets, who've been better by 30.
To put it another way, with the bases empty, the Rays' OPS against currently ranks 20th in the league. With runners in scoring position, the Rays' OPS against ranks first.
It's a funny thing that happens when you don't allow many hits with runners in scoring position - you don't allow many runs. The Rays have allowed just 3.9 runs per game, fifth-best overall and second-best in the American League.
Interestingly enough, we may not even be talking about a pitcher split, here. What we're seeing with the Rays might completely be explained by the defense. With the bases empty, the Rays have allowed a batting average on balls in play (BABIP) of .284. With runners in scoring position, they've allowed a BABIP of just .252. The Rays have one of the top team defenses in the league, and the evidence suggests that the defense has been at its best in the more critical situations.
Whatever the case, and regardless of who's responsible, this is a big split that has most certainly at least in part fueled the Rays' great success. Now, the temptation is to assume that, since we're already at the end of August, the split is for real, since it's had plenty of time to normalize. The fact that it hasn't normalized suggests that the Rays have some ability to step up in the clutch. However, I'd caution against such an assumption. Even though the Rays have recorded nearly 1200 plate appearances against with runners in scoring position, the numbers they've put up appear to be unsustainable. No matter how late it is in the year, I would still expect them to regress.
Would they get killed by said regression? Don't count on it. The Rays are still a very, very good team. But we could see this make the difference in the race for the AL East title over the final five weeks of the year.
4. 3083
In the wake of Stephen Strasburg's latest injury and trip to the DL, there's been a lot of talk about the danger of pitching, and the fragility of pitchers. The most visible article, most certainly, was Joe Posnanski's, as everybody's favorite sportswriter ran down a history of young pitchers with terrific stuff who couldn't stick around because, as it turns out, the human body isn't really built to withstand the stress of throwing a baseball really fast a hundred times every few days.
And, generally speaking, Posnanski's right. Studies have shown that, when an upper-level pitcher throws a fastball, he puts about 80 Newton-meters of torque on his elbow. And studies have also shown that, for the average ulnar collateral ligament - the elbow's most vital bit of tissue - 80 Newton-meters is about where it snaps. Big league pitchers who throw big league fastballs work right up against their bodies' limits, which explains why we see so many of them end up hurt.
But to focus on the fragility of the average pitcher is to focus on the negative. Yeah, a lot of things snap and tear and break, and a lot of guys miss a lot of time. It sucks. That same brittleness, though, is precisely what makes the exceptions something to celebrate.
Felix Hernandez is a 24 year old righty. He may not have Strasburg's raw stuff, in that he doesn't hang around in the 97-100mph range with his fastball, but he's very very close. And while Strasburg's already made two trips to the disabled list in his brief rookie season, Felix, for years, has been the picture of health despite a burdensome workload.
After shutting down the Red Sox on Wednesday night, Felix's pitch count on the year jumped past Dan Haren to assume the league lead at 3083. Felix has made 28 starts this season, and thrown at least 100 pitches in 24 of them. He's thrown at least 110 pitches in 19 of them. A year ago, he threw at least 100 pitches in 30 of 34 starts, and at least 110 pitches in 14.
In 2010, Felix currently leads the league in pitches thrown. In 2009, he finished second. Between 2005-2008, he averaged 101 pitches per start.
And, other than a brief scare with a forearm strain early in 2007, Felix hasn't shown any signs of wear and tear. He elevated his game in 2009, and he's elevated it once more in 2010, standing as a strong candidate to win the Cy Young despite an unimpressive win/loss record. Felix, at 24 years of age, is an established ace, and he's an established workhorse. On any given night, there are few pitchers capable of working as deep into a game as Felix, and if the stresses are having any effect on Felix's body, it isn't apparent. He seems to just get stronger and stronger.
And Felix isn't the only one of these guys. C.C. Sabathia's been throwing a ton of pitches ever since he was a 20 year old rookie, and he's never hurt his arm or his shoulder. Justin Verlander's thrown a million pitches at 98 miles per hour, and the worst complication he's faced is minor fatigue. Ubaldo Jimenez has shown an ability to work deep with power stuff and hasn't ever complained about his arm.
Any one of these guys, of course, could get hurt tomorrow. A workhorse is only a workhorse until he isn't, and there's no telling where things go from there. My point is simply that major arm injuries aren't an inevitability. Even for a young pitcher who throws a mean fastball, there's no guarantee he's going to come up sore and need to go under the knife. There's a certain probability, yes. Pitching is dangerous, and pitchers get hurt. But the situation isn't as dire as it's sometimes made out to be, and all the proof you need is hanging out near the top of the ERA leaderboard. Some guys can't handle the strain. Some other guys can. All pitching is is a stress test.
5. 0
There's no shortage of things that are amazing about Joey Votto's 2010 season. He's fourth in the league in average. He's third in the league in home runs. He's second in the league in OBP, and third in the league in OPS. He posted a first half OPS of 1.011, and he's only been better ever since. He's done all this for a team few people respect, and he's done it as a Canadian.
Joey Votto, all year long, has, by any measure, been extraordinary. He's easily the biggest reason the Reds are where they are, in first by 3.5 games and owning CoolStandings playoff odds of 80%. The Reds are set to march into the postseason, and when they look back on what got them there, Votto will stand out as the team MVP.
Votto's list of accomplishments to date is as long as it is impressive. And me, I'm here to add one more thing that I suppose you can slide in somewhere near the bottom. Because while this isn't the most meaningful of statistics, I think it's worth noting that, of the 153 batters who had made at least 400 trips to the plate so far this season, Joey Votto is the only one who has yet to hit a single infield fly.
Votto's infield fly rate on the year is 0.0%. For the average hitter, about one of every 11 fly balls he hits stays in the infield. Votto's hit 115 fly balls, and they've all soared past the dirt.
It's just one of those things that helps you paint a picture. No argument would begin with, "well, Joey Votto hasn't hit an infield pop-up all season long." It's more of a colorful stat than a significant one. It's an addition. "Joey Votto leads the NL in average, OBP, and SLG, and he hasn't even hit a single infield fly!" It's like the adjective of statistics. It isn't there to say something. It's there to embellish something else.
Not hitting infield pop-ups, of course, is a good thing. Infield flies are pretty much automatic outs. Outfield flies have potential. Votto is making a contribution by hitting all of his fly balls pretty far, and what's interesting is that he's established a track record of this. His career infield fly rate is just 2.1%, among the very best marks in the league.
So it is a stat that serves a dual positive purpose. It both helps, and it paints. It's the kind of thing that causes you to raise your eyebrows and think more highly of Votto than you did just before.
If Joey Votto is doing anything wrong for the Reds right now, I'd love to know what it is.

Small molecules can control cell fate in vivo and may allow directed induction of desired cell types, providing an attractive alternative to transplant-based approaches in regenerative medicine. We have chemically induced functional oocytes in Caenorhabditis elegans adults that otherwise produced only sperm. These findings suggest that chemical approaches to therapeutic cell reprogramming may be feasible and provide a powerful platform for analyzing molecular mechanisms of in vivo cell reprogramming.

Chula -- A Tift County teenager is recognized by the state Fire Safety Commissioner for making a decision that may have saved lives. John Oxendine awarded 17-year old John Brady the title "honorary fire marshal."
Three weeks ago Brady found old crystallized dynamite in a barn behind his grandfather's house in Chula. Rather than touch the dangerous explosives, he got in touch with fire safety officials who disposed of them safely.
Brady said he didn't want anyone to get hurt, and that's why he informed officials.

World Wrestling Entertainment's next pay-per-view is going to take place on September 21st from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. In this post, I'll point out the sports betting websites where I'm expecting odds for the event to be published in order to give you a head-start to get the best prices.
As per usual, I'll list the companies that offered prices for the most recent pay-per-view.
5Dimes Casino & Sportsbook
If you're looking to bet on WWE Night of Champions, then the first port of call should be 5Dimes.com.
The company is more often than not the first to publish betting odds each month. The firm has consistently opened markets for years and I would be very surprised if they didn't in September.
5Dimes' SummerSlam coverage began on the Wednesday before the show. These markets stayed open right up until the start of each match. No other sportsbook accepting wagers on WWE events keeps its lines up for this long. It should be the first and last place you go to for WWE betting opportunities.
For more information on the company, you can read BetOnWrestling.co.uk's review of 5Dimes' WWE Betting Markets.
When they're up, you'll be able to find the markets listed under 'Other Sports' at 5Dimes.com
Paddy Power
If you're based in a country where you can legally become a customer of Paddy Power, then I urge you to register an account as - next to 5Dimes - Paddy Power is one of the most popular venues for WWE bettors.
Based in Ireland, the company has promoted WWE betting for a long time and, just like 5Dimes, always has odds up for events each month.
During SummerSlam week, PaddyPower.com had odds up on the Thursday.
To find out more about Paddy Power and WWE betting, you can read BetOnWrestling's Paddy Power Review.
When live, you'll be able to view the odds under 'Sports Novelties' at PaddyPower.com or by simply following this direct route to Paddy Power's WWE Betting Page.
Sky Bet
Sky Bet is another betting firm that offers WWE betting opportunities every single month.
One of the most popular reasons why people choose Sky Bet to gamble on WWE is because the odds close at 1am. Most of the other websites like Paddy Power shut their books with a few hours left remaining before the PPV airs. Sky Bet's coverage means last-minute bettors can place late wagers if they have missed the cut-off point elsewhere.
Sky Bet's SummerSlam markets were opened on the Thursday before the event.
For more - read BetOnWrestling's Sky Bet Review.
When live, WWE odds can be found under 'Wrestling' on the sports betting menu at SkyBet.com or by following a direct route to Sky Bet's WWE Betting Page.
William Hill
William Hill, one of the oldest bookmakers on the planet, has been offering WWE betting markets for years. However, there have been rare occasions when the company hasn't published WWE pay-per-view lines.
During SummerSlam week, odds were first published on the Friday before. It's also worth mentioning that the company takes down prices overnight so if you're reading this in the evening and no odds are around, this might be a reason why. With that noted, the markets are republished early the next day.
If you'd still like to read more about William Hill's WWE betting markets, you can do so at BetOnWrestling.co.uk's William Hill page.
WWE markets can be found under 'TV.Specials' of the sportsbook at WilliamHill.com. An easier way to reach the page is to follow this direct link to William Hill's WWE Betting Page.
Another Irish bookmaker - Boylesports.com -has offered WWE betting markets for the major PPVs on the WWE calendar and did so for SummerSlam. However, I am unsure whether the company will price up odds for a show like Night of Champions.
Betfair Sportsbook
The UK's Betfair Sportsbook joined in on the WWE betting scene earlier this year when it opened markets for WrestleMania XXX and the two events that followed. They returned for SummerSlam and did offer competitive odds in comparison to other books.
One of the most things I like the best about the Betfair Sportsbook is that the traders have offered prop bets in the past.
SummerSlam betting markets first went live on the Betfair website on the Saturday morning before the event.
You can read more about Betfair on BetOnWrestling's Betfair Page.
When live, you'll fnd the odds n the 'Special Bets' section of the sportsbook at Betfair.com.
Ladbrokes Bookmakers
The oddsmakers at Ladbrokes.com have been offering their customers ways to bet on WWE for the most recent pay-per-views including SummerSlam.
In the months when Ladbrokes have posted odds for WWE events, I have noticed they're usually up on the day of the show. However, it's worth noting that the SummerSlam betting odds were available the day before. Could this be a new approach?
On the topic of of approaches - I have noticed that it does take a while for 'Wrestling' to appear on the Ladbrokes.com sportsbook menu so - if you ever find yourself on the website and want to know for sure whether the company has published pay-per-view odds, an approach I suggest is to type 'WWE' into the website's search feature and it will lead you there.
You can read more about the company on BetOnWrestling's Ladbrokes Page.
There are other sports betting websites that have promoted WWE betting in the past.
For example. YouWin.com & its Canadian-facing partner, UWin.com, Betfred and Coral.co.uk have done so at certain points in 2014, so it might be worth checking them out on the week of Night of Champions. More companies are listed over at BetOnWrestling's Directory Of Wrestling Oddsmakers.

Be sure to add WWELeaks.org to your favourites as I'll be publishing regular odds updates throughout Night of Champions week.

Rawdon air conditioning firm to extend product portfolio
12:00am Sunday 9th March 2014 in Local news
A Rawdon-based air conditioning business is set to extend its product portfolio after an acquisition by its parent company.
In a statement to the New York Stock Exchange, Airedale International's parent company, Modine Manufacturing Company, has announced the completion of its acquisition of Consett-based manufacturer of custom-built air handling units, Barkell Ltd.
The acquisition allows Airedale to extend its product portfolio to include a range of air handling units. "Everyone at Modine is excited about the opportunities Barkell and Airedale can bring to each other," said Clive Parkman, Airedale managing director. "We have been working together for a number of years and are pleased we have moved forward with this next step."
Airedale International has just opened offices in Moscow and Dubai.

Taylor & I had to reschedule her Senior Session about 4 times because of the rain. We've had an abundance of it this summer! So what do you do when you want your senior session – despite the weather?

She held an umbrella over my head (and my camera!) the entire time, and never complained {Read More}

Out There: Missing the 'Stones'
05/29/2014 11:37
By HERB KEINON
The Stones are coming, but I won't be among the thousands of standing, sweating, swaying, singing people in the audience.
Photo by: PEPE FAINBERG
Finally, the Rolling Stones are coming.
Like so many who grew up with "Brown Sugar," "Sympathy for the Devil," "Satisfaction" and "You Can't Always Get What you Want" blasting from record and eight-track players, I eagerly awaited the day the Stones would arrive and play the songs of my youth in the Holy Land.
"S-h-a-l-o-m Israel," I longed to hear a gyrating Mick Jagger croak. The Rolling Stones in Israel. Validation, finally. We are good, we are cool, we are on the world map, or at least on the Stones' tour map.
The initial reflex is to say that this is more than just a concert, but a victory. Sure, Elton John has played here, twice. And Madonna, And Rihanna. And Lady Gaga. And Leonard Cohen. And Paul McCartney. But who remembers them when Roger Waters baits us, Elvis Costello boycotts us, and Carlos Santana (Et tu, Carlos?) snubs us.
Weird, how perspective changes. As a kid I was glad when a stellar group like Fleetwood Mac, Jethro Tull or The Eagles would play Denver or Boulder, Colorado, because I relished the opportunity to go hear them. Now the news of a big group coming to Israel – generally a group I have never heard of, but whom my kids assure me is somewhat significant – I am pleased not because of an opportunity to see them, but rather because it is a small political victory.
Take that, you BDS scoundrels.
AND IF every rocker who plays Israel is a "victory" of sorts, then next month we will see an even a bigger triumph, because that is when Neil Young will arrive. Neil Young, the political activist. Neil Young, of the Left. Neil Young who gave us these lyrics about Kent State: "Tin soldiers and Nixon coming, we're finally on our own. This summer I hear the drumming, four dead in Ohio."
Young is no right-wing rocker, like Kiss's unabashed Zionist (and native-born Israeli) Gene Simmons – but someone from the Left.
Good for you, Mr. Young, a better man don't need Waters or Costello around, anyhow.
Truth be told, we wildly exaggerate the symbolic significance of those few artists who don't play Israel, giving them way too much prominence. We give front-page coverage to anyone who snubs us, but barely a notice to those who grace us with their presence. (Unless, of course, it's someone like Mick Jagger and the Stones.) The Pixies, an indie-rock group coming this summer, canceled a tour date in 2010 after the Mavi Marmara incident, either because they were afraid to come or they were making a political point. I know of The Pixies not because of any fondness for their music, but rather because that cancellation was prominent news at the time.
"Honey," I wailed to The Wife at the time. "You'll never believe what is happening. The Pixies have canceled because of political reasons. The Pixies!!" "Uh-huh," she said, wisely unfazed. "And who exactly are The Pixies?" And this summer, well The Pixies have rescheduled and are willing to come and play for our money. But that's not news. Nor, truth be told, should it be. Not every artist who comes to our shores need send us into fits of joy.
BUT BACK to the Stones. I love the Stones, and was thrilled – just thrilled – when I heard they would play Tel Aviv. Surely The Wife and I would join the throngs who have so many youthful memories tied up with their songs: cruising with the windows open, walking through a college quad, dreaming of the future.
Then two things happened. First, the Stones announced ticket prices. And then they announced the date of their concert.
The tickets started at NIS 700, a heck of a lot of money, and I winced when I heard the news. NIS 700 is groceries for a week and a half, two-and-a-half tanks of gas, three weeks' tuition for one of my kids.
And the date, June 4, happened to be the night after Shavuot, meaning that – as a resident of Ma'aleh Adumim – the only way I would be able to see the show without halachically violating the holiday would be to spend Shavuot in Tel Aviv. So that settled that. No way was I going to put out NIS 1,400 – three weeks of groceries, five tanks of gas, a month and a half of tuition money – for tickets for The Wife and I, plus a night in a hotel. I'd like to get some satisfaction, but not at any price.
By playing on June 4, the Stones solved my dilemma.
As much as I would like to go, I simply can't. And I can rationalize to myself that the reason I am skipping this once-in-a-lifetime concert is not because I am cheap, but rather because of force majeure – scheduling the concert on the night after Shavuot.
THE PRICE of the ticket also slammed home another truth. Although we like to see these visits by the big acts as political victories, they are not. These artists are not coming here propelled by wanting to play in that scrappy, gutsy little Jewish democracy along the Mediterranean.
They want to play here because they make lots of money, which is a good thing, a legitimate thing, and one that speaks of normalcy.
But NIS 700 a ticket? That's quite a lot of money. The price ensures that two things will happen: folks on a regular salary won't be attending, and anyone who does shell out the big shekels will rave about the show.
Tell me the price of the ticket to any show, and I will tell you what regular people – not the critics who don't have to pay for the performance – will say afterwards. Up to NIS 150 for a ticket, and people can be honest and really say what they think. Over NIS 150, and the likelihood that people will be honest about the quality will shrink.
Rest assured that when you raise the ticket to NIS 700, you're guaranteed that no one will walk away and say, "Boy was that a lousy show, that Jagger guy sure is getting old."
It's human nature: If you pay that much money to hear a concert, you are going to like what you hear. At NIS 75 a song, you'll love each song.
It's like summer family trips.
When was the last time you heard someone take the kids on a family trip abroad, spend upwards of $10,000 on a trip, ask them how it was and get the following reply: "Horrible. Paris was humid. London was crazy, Disney World was overcrowded and a waste of time."
No, that won't happen. The more we pay, the more we like what we pay for – not because it is necessarily good, but because having paid so much, we would feel like suckers having forked out so much for something subpar.
The Stones are coming, but I won't be among the thousands of standing, sweating, swaying, singing people in the audience who afterward will say how amazing the concert was. I'll be at home eating leftover cheesecake from Shavuot and dreaming of the day that Bruce Springsteen arrives, the one act that I have assured my kids I would pay any amount of money to see.
And then I will secretly hope he comes on the night after Rosh Hashana.

The last option only allows apps downloaded from the Mac App Store to install or run. That's as self-explanatory, and as secure, as you can get.
Despite concerns from some that Gatekeeper goes to far, or doesn't go far enough, I like the options. They're a useful compromise for IT departments already accustomed to dealing with malware on the Windows side; once apps necessary to business become "Gatekeeper aware," so to speak, concerns about Mac malware or untrusted apps will be one of the last things on the mind of IT staffers. Granted, it will take some time for app makers to climb on board, but Gatekeeper should start that movement.
Mountain Lion's Security & Privacy preference pane now includes Gatekeeper, which is designed to head off malware by setting limits on which apps can run.
Share Sheets arrive
Apple has made social sharing in Mountain Lion more integrated with Share Sheets, which are built in to home-grown applications like QuickTime, Safari and Notes and allow you to easily share what you're looking at with others. (Third-party developers will need to rewrite their apps to incorporate the feature, but its usefulness should be readily apparent, especially for Twitter users.)
Every app's Share Sheet has a different set of functions, depending on context. For instance, clicking on Safari's Share Sheet button allows you to add a Web page to the Reading List, to your Bookmarks, or to share it via email, message or tweet. Interestingly enough, Facebook isn't an option in most apps. You won't find Facebook under the System Preference for Mail, Contacts & Calendars (where you will find Twitter). But if you look under the Share menu in a QuickTime window, you can share your movie to FaceBook. The same is true in iPhoto's Share Sheet.
Given the explosion in social media, it's a smart move to incorporate easy ways to share digital content. I'd expect to see more of this as OS X develops.
Odds and Ends
Game Center: Apple has also added Game Center to Mountain Lion. Game Center is a centralized location that on iOS devices provides easy access to global game score and leader-board tracking; it also allows you to see what games friends are playing and how well they're doing, among other details. Game Center's support for turn-based and head-to-head games now comes to the Mac, allowing you to play supported games on your Mac against people playing on iOS devices.
Notes: In Lion and earlier versions of OS X, the Notes app was always bound to Mail; but in iOS, Notes has been a standalone app. When Mountain Lion is released, Notes will become a standalone application with an interface lifted from the landscape view on the iPad. (Similarly, to-do's and reminders get the standalone app treatment, too, with their appearance drawn from the iPad.)
Safari: Apple's Web browser gets a few tweaks, too, including a new address bar that handles searches as well as url addresses. Safari also gains a "Do Not Track" option, Apple's response to growing privacy concerns among online surfers.
Software Update: In Mountain Lion, software updates are now handled through the Mac App Store, and Notifications appear when updates are available for either the operating system or apps downloaded from the Mac App Store. This will surely raise awareness of the App Store and the apps it offers.
Final thoughts
Like Lion before it, Mountain Lion continues the merger of iOS and OS X features in a way that helps provide a consistent experience across Apple devices. In concert with iCloud, Apple is moving to make things easy to use no matter which device you have in hand, an iPhone or a iMac, an iPad or a MacBook Air. The main difference revolves around each device's interaction method: mouse and trackpad for the Mac; touch screen gestures on the iPad and iPhone.

K. Sparks - Dedication
Artist: K. Sparks
Producer: Skrazey
Album: Two Worlds
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 20 total votes )
K. Sparks's new track, Dedication, contains two dead giveaways that let you know he has a background in freestyling. First of all, the kid can effortlessly string together dope rhyme after dope rhyme. Second, by the time each verse ends, you have no idea what the hell he's talking about. Contrary to what you may expect, Dedication is not about his work ethic or his loyalty. Instead, the Queens rapper spends his three minutes on the mic jumping between broken storylines and factoids, all of which work fine by themselves but come together like a Mad Lib gone wrong. Skrazey's hectic beat makes the song all that more busy. I can guarantee one thing: you will not get bored listening to Dedication, so put away your Adderall. Check out more K. Sparks on his upcoming album, Two Worlds (Oct.).

Financial Help for Everyday Money Worries
"I Sent in a Rebate Offer But Never Received the Money"
It shouldn't take more than six weeks or so for a check to arrive. If you've been waiting longer than that, call the company's customer-service number for the rebate department, which is usually printed on the offer form. Mention the terms of the agreement and the date you mailed the rebate. If you no longer have a copy of the form, try Googling the brand name and "rebate" to find a phone number, suggests Kelley Long. It's a bit of a long shot, but you may be able to receive your money simply by providing the purchase date and the product's model name and serial number to the customer-service agent. With future rebates, take these preemptive measures: Make copies of all the required documents, use certified mail to submit it, and read the fine print carefully to make sure you really qualify for that cash-back offer.
