Michelle McCool
Real Name
Michelle McCool
Date of Birth
January 25, 1980
Place of Birth
Since she was one of the more popular performers in WWE, many have wondered if there are Michelle McCool nude photos floating around the internet. An internet search provided this picture of a topless girl that looks like Michelle McCool, but rest assured that it is not the former WWE diva. She has never posed nude and will unlikely ever do so now that she is a mother.
March 25, 2014
A bit of buzz was created earlier this week when it was reported that AJ Lee was among the many female celebrities who have had their nude pictures leaked online by hacker. Unfortunately for WWE fans, however, those rumors were false. The divas champion herself even commented on the rumors through social media. She did so in her usual playful way.
September 27, 2014
WWE wanted to create a buzz for Rosa Mendes and the upcoming season of Total Divas, and it looks like the company has accomplished that. Fans are talking about the preview clip where Rosa is naked on one of the episodes. She is in a hotel room, and Natalya Neidhart walks in on her. Obviously, the network won't be showing her fully nude, but it's enough to pique interest in the show.
September 5, 2014
As is the norm whenever a female performer grows her following in the wrestling industry, fans will flock online to see if there are nude pictures floating around. That is the case with Brittany, one of the newest TNA Knockouts. Online searches for her nude photos have gradually been on the rise. However, Santana Garrett has never posed nude before, so it is a futile search.
May 14, 2014
As the naked picture of Lana is being spread around the internet, rumors are running rampant by WWE fans who have not seen the picture of the diva. Speculations are spreading wildly. The picture is from awhile back, well before Lana signed a developmental contract with WWE. While she does not have any clothes on in the picture, she is not completely nude.
May 6, 2014
Several websites have recently been trying to capitalize on the absence of AJ Lee by promoting the fact that they have nude pictures of the WWE diva. Since she has remained relatively quiet since taking a break from the company, her fans have grown a bit restless, so they have been seeking out such things online. There are no naked pictures of AJ floating around.
May 5, 2014
Since she has been gaining some fame, thanks in large part to her appearances on Monday Night Raw, fans have been wondering about Lana and her past. Some have been looking for nude pictures of the WWE diva. There actually are some in existence online. However, Lana is not showing everything. The camera angles does not show her private parts.
May 5, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that there is a video that features WWE diva Aksana in the nude. Upon further investigation, it is simply a Daily Motion video that is attempting to draw in gullible WWE fans. While it does show a couple of women in various stages of undress, the video does not feature Aksana whatsoever.
May 5, 2014
There are rumors floating around about nude pictures of Cameron being available. It turns out that it is simply wrestling fans who have fallen for an edited photo of the WWE diva, which features a male porn star and Naomi Knight as well.
April 20, 2014
Through Twitter, Tammy Sytch revealed that she was moving to New York City. The former WWE diva has been making headlines over the last few years for all the wrong reasons, so the hope is that this move will help her get her life back on track. Aside from legal issues with her previous boyfriend, Sytch has also been relegated to selling nude pictures of herself.
April 19, 2014
Since she is becoming more known to the WWE universe, developmental diva Paige has become quite the target for male fans who want to see more of her naked body. Unfortunately, though, there are none of those available online. Paige is quite young and has been smart enough to avoid posing nude. This bikini picture is the closest that you're going to get to that.
March 26, 2014
Since she has appeared nude in Playboy magazine before, it should come as no surprise that Torrie Wilson has plenty of naked and topless photos online. This is a really sexy picture of the former WWE diva being topless. She is wearing a bikini bottom, but it is rather skimpy.
March 26, 2014
The segments on Total Divas where Cameron was showing nude Eva Marie pictures to the WWE stars backstage has worked out tremendously, in terms of marketing. A lot of people were drawn to the episode and the series because of that. In fact, E! even capitalized on things by posting the story about it on their website, which generated even more interest in Total Divas.
March 24, 2014
Since they're heavily featured on Monday Night Raw, Smackdown and Total Divas, the Bella Twins have gained quite a bit of popularity over the last year. Naturally, WWE fans have wondered if we will ever seen Nikki Bella and Brie Bella posing nude in Playboy magazine any time soon. While they would sell quite a bit of copies, WWE has to avoid that connection right now because of advertisers and sponsors.
March 22, 2014
Rumors are floating around that there are some wardrobe malfunction pics of Lita floating around the internet. It turns out that the source of those rumors is Dhantenan, a foreign website that has jokes, wallpapers and screen savers. They are luring in WWE fans with the promise of semi nude pictures, but there is really nothing there.
March 21, 2014
Since the company has adopted a PG image, the move is unlikely to happen, but those backstage in WWE believe that Summer Rae would have definitely been given the Playboy photo shoot nod had she been in professional wrestling a couple of years earlier. Summer Rae would have definitely been featured in a nude photo shoot when WWE allowed that sort of thing.
March 21, 2014
A really hot picture of Brooke Tessmacher in the kitchen while wearing just her panties. The TNA Knockout doesn't do nude pictures, so this is as good as it gets.
March 20, 2014
While some have dismissed it as being just a rumor, there are actually some Alundra Blayze nude photos floating around somewhere. Back in 1987, she posed for Playboy magazine. However, an invitation to go wrestle with All Japan prevented her from signing a release form, so the pictures were never published. They remain in existence somewhere.
March 20, 2014
As many already now by now, Tammy Sytch has been selling naked pictures of herself to fans who are willing to spend $40 to see them. However, word going around is that she is not generating a lot of sales, as people are simply going online to find readily available nude photos of her. The former WWE diva is said to have fallen on hard times.
March 18, 2014
It appears that times have become rather hard for Tammy Sytch, as she has been selling topless pictures of herself through Twitter and PayPal. The former WWE diva posted this teaser image, where her breasts are censored, on social media, in order to entice fans into paying $40 to see her nude from the waist up.
March 17, 2014
A picture of Kaitlyn in a black thong. The former Divas champion had these taken before she became a star in WWE, as the company now has a policy against girls posing nude, naked or topless. Since Kaitly is no longer with WWE, there is a chance that she could opt to do such photo shoots, but it appears unlikely as she is getting married soon.
March 16, 2014
In a sign that he is thoroughly enjoying his time away from WWE, Undertaker was spotted with his wife Michelle McCool at a college football game featuring the Texas Longhorns. The former world heavyweight champion even took the time to pose for pictures with fans, something that he did not do frequently when he was an active performer. Undertaker was also spotted recently at a high school football game.
October 19, 2014
Rumors are floating around that there is more to the story of Summer Rae and Layla El teaming up than what WWE tells us on television. Many are saying that the move was in response to Velvet Sky and Angelina Love being back together in TNA. Management wanted to reunite LayCool, but since Michelle McCool was not interested in making a full time return, they opted to go with Summer Rae, as the two of them share a physical resemblance.
July 19, 2014
Showing that some friendships extend beyond the business, Undertaker and his wife Michelle McCool recently attended a comedy show featuring Mick Foley. The longtime WWE couple wanted to show support for their old friend. The two of them even went backstage to catch up with Foley for a bit. Several wrestlers in the industry, including CM Punk recently, have made the effort to go watch Foley tell jokes.
July 14, 2014
Earlier in the week, it was revealed that Michelle McCool had visited the WWE Performance Center to help train some of the developmental divas. That led to speculations that Undertaker was there as well. Contrary to the rumors, he was not there. The legendary performer has largely stayed away from the business since his match against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 30.
June 26, 2014
While she still has every intention of being a stay at home mother and wife, Michelle McCool decided to get out of the house on Monday. She made a visit to the WWE Performance Center. No word yet on why she was there this time around, but she has been known to drop in and help do a little training with the developmental divas. Her appearances always spark rumors of a return to WWE, so don't be surprised if the chatter increases over the next few days.
June 24, 2014
Country music singer George Strait held his last concert ever this weekend in Dallas, and drew in an incredible amount of people to the show. Among the 105,000 fans at the concert were Undertaker, Michelle McCool and Steve Austin. No word yet on whether or not the former WWE stars were at the event together or just happen to be there at the same time.
June 9, 2014
A picture of former WWE diva Michelle McCool working out and playing with her daughter, whom she had with the Undertaker, at the same time.
June 4, 2014
The majority of the sellout audience at Wrestlemania 30 were rooting for the Undertaker to beat Brock Lesnar, but his biggest fan of the evening might have been his wife, former WWE diva Michelle McCool. She was in attendance in New Orleans, and she looked just as emotional as everyone else did when the shocking ending happened.
April 7, 2014
There are rumors floating around that new Michelle McCool wardrobe malfunction pictures are available online. However, that is not the case. It is simply a website called Break trying to draw in WWE fans. They are using wardrobe malfunction pictures of Kate Upton to do so. She is showing a little bit of her nipples. It is definitely not Michelle McCool.
April 6, 2014
In a rather interesting move, Michelle McCool was spotted training at the WWE Performance Center this week. She was helping some of the developmental performers out. Some are speculating that she is interested in becoming a trainer for the company, while others think that she might just be helping out because her husband, Undertaker, is working Wrestlemania 30.
March 13, 2014
Over the weekend, several wrestlers, including Chris Jericho, Howar Finkel, Jim Ross, MVP, Diamond Dallas Page, Mason Ryan, Chavo Guerrero, Michelle McCool, Vickie Guerrero, JBL and others, noted the passing of Frank Bullock, a WWE employee who did audio for the company. He had been battling cancer before his death.
February 10, 2014
When Michelle McCool went in for wrist surgery last month, there were speculations that she was healing up for another run with WWE. However, that does not appear to be the case. No such return is currently being planned right now, as she is spending time with her baby daughter.
February 5, 2014
Michelle McCool is going in for surgery to repair her right wrist. The former WWE diva claims that it has been hurting her for years, and now that she is no longer in the wrestling business, it was time to start healing her body.
January 11, 2014
Former WWE diva Michelle McCool had to go to emergency room this weekend after she cut her thumb up pretty good while eating an apple.
October 27, 2013
Since Monday Night Raw was in Austin, Michelle McCool decided to pay a visit to her former WWE coworkers backstage at the event. Rumors of her return were rampant because the diva made an appearance at the performance center.
July 23, 2013
Michelle McCool and Layla El, collectively known as LayCool, were victorious in their tag team match against Gail Kim and Maryse Ouellet, two divas who did not get along with one another, at Elimination Chamber 2010. The match was made by Vickie Guerrero in the story line.

There's the Rub
Forget the innBy Conrado de Quiros
Our report put it this way: There may not be room at the inn when Pope Francis visits Tacloban in January.
Our report put it this way: There may not be room at the inn when Pope Francis visits Tacloban in January.
The most fascinating thing about the "Philippine Arena," billed as "the world's largest indoor multipurpose venue," is probably not that it stands on Philippine soil but that it has been built by the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC). Known for the distinctive architectural style of its churches, the INC usually builds small replicas of its central cathedral in nearly every town in which it has gathered a sizeable flock. But a gigantic dome to accommodate its occasional humongous gatherings seems, at first glance, excessive and out of character even for a church that is proudly marking its centennial year.
Just as the first of the planned impeachment complaints was being filed in the House of Representatives—complete with color-coded photo ops—P-Noy was in Bulacan, the main guest of the Iglesia Ni Cristo inaugurating the 75-hectare "Ciudad de Victoria."
I am intrigued by recent news reports disclosing that the government, through the Philippine Postal Corp., has authorized a special issue of commemorative postage stamps to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC).
The Inquirer's front page had a headline quoting survivors of the Tuesday earthquake as saying: "We were lucky it was a holiday." I can imagine people saying it was "good"—"Buti na lang" in Tagalog, "Maayo na lang" in Cebuano—that it happened on a holiday (thank the Muslims for Eid al Adha), which meant fewer people were in offices and schools.

Health Apps Right Out of Star Trek
Are you old enough to remember the first Star Trek series? (Yes, I watched in reruns.) Remember when McCoy or Bones, as he was called, would take out his Tricorder and simply pass it over someone's body, and he could tell you what was wrong with them? Well, these apps aren't quite that sophisticated, but they are amazing! Some of them require additional equipment to turn your phone into a digital doctor, but medical applications are one of the fastest-growing segments of the digital applications market. Here's just a taste of what you or your medical professional can do with a phone and a little cutting edge technology.
- iStethoscope allows you to hear your heartbeat on your iPhone and see your heart waveform based on the phone's microphone.
- Electrocardiogram/EKG -AliveCor device attaches to the phone like a case and provides a single-lead EKG by placing one finger from each hand on the sensor-electrodes. It is FDA approved to record, display, store, transfer and even evaluate single-channel electrocardiogram rhythms ECGs.
- Blood pressure measurement devices like Withings or iHealth that include a dock and a blood pressure cuff, so you can use your phone to monitor your blood pressure.
- Spirometry-SpiroSmart can provide a measure of common lung function by measuring lip reverberation. (Yeah I know; told you this stuff was unreal!) This is helpful in monitoring asthma and COPD.
- Fundus exams- The iExaminer is an iPhone 4 attachment for Welch Allyn PanOptic opthalmoscope that lets your medical professional perform Fundus exams. For us non-medical professionals, that means the doctor can use his phone to examine your eyes.
Such innovations boggle the mind. Oh, and just in case you thought the Tricorder was pure science fiction, there is now a competition to create one. The Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize is a $10 million global competition intended to create a diagnostic tool capable of recording key health metrics and diagnosing a set of at least 15 diseases. Ideally, it would be done through wireless sensors, imaging technologies and non-invasive laboratory replacements. Fascinating.

My Comments
My Reviews (9)
"Another gripping sexy read from VP as she brings her usual fresh twist to the line and portrays an uber powerful gun wielding femme fatale who hides a heart of gold. I absolutely loved Pia and the devilish hunk that was Nic was her perfect match in every way. The banter between these two was hilarious and with all the secrets and lies flying around I was chewing on my nails towards the gripping finale. I could have throttled Nic toward the end but still, excellent read! Just wish this author would release more often"
The Ultimate Revenge by Victoria Parker
"Hewitt has penned a glamorous dramatic tale of a marriage of convenience that was heartfelt and compelling. In the end, the brooding Sandro stole the show. Excellent!"
A Queen for the Taking? by
"This was fifty shades of awesome! Sexy and sassy and humourous one minute then tender and beautiful and heart breaking the next. Finn......OMG Finn! There is something about this authors heroes that get me straight in the heart. He was witty and naughty and the repartee was laugh out loud but underneath he was so tortured and dark and damaged and I cried for him, my god did I cry at the 'everything is lost' moment at the end. I loved serena too, a fantastic departure from the standard M&B heroine, i thought she was brave and fascinating to read about. What a couple they made!. I don't want to give anything away because I think the tenseness of the story was huge bonus but I have got to say this is not one to be missed. Probably my favourite Modern in years. Just fantastic!"

DotF: Bird homers twice in Trenton's winBy · Comments
Let's start with some notes:
- 3B Dante Bichette Jr. has been promoted from High-A Tampa to Double-A Trenton, according to Eric Morlock. He'll finish the season there as the everyday third baseman. After two poor years with Low-A Charleston from 2012-13, DBJ hit .271/.352/.410 (120 wRC+) with nine homers for Tampa this summer.
- MLB.com posted top 20 Yankees prospects list a few weeks ago, and today Jim Callis released his list of five bonus prospects. No. 21-25, basically. No real surprises, though I'm surprised to see OF Dustin Fowler get so much love.
- Baseball America published their best tools surveys for MLB and Triple-A. The Yankees didn't have anyone on the Triple-A list, but Brett Gardner (second best AL bunter, wtf?), Jacoby Ellsbury (second best AL base-runner), Masahiro Tanaka (second best AL pitcher), Dellin Betances (best AL curveball, second best AL reliever), Mark Teixeira (third best AL defensive first baseman), and Martin Prado (second best AL hit-and-run artist) all appear on the MLB survey.
Triple-A Scranton had a scheduled off-day.
Double-A Trenton (7-3 win over Altoona)
- CF Jake Cave: 1-5, 1 R, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 1 K – 15-for-43 (.349) in his last ten games
- LF Ben Gamel: 1-4, 1 RBI
- DH Gary Sanchez: 1-4, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 K — 13-for-42 (.310) in his last ten games
- RF Tyler Austin: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K
- 1B Greg Bird: 4-4, 3 R, 1 2B, 2 HR, 2 RBI — that's three homers in his last two games
- LHP Manny Banuelos: 3.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 1/4 GB/FB – 49 of 79 pitches were strikes (62%) … little bump in the road after allowing only two runs total in his last 14 innings
- LHP Jacob Lindgren: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K – 12 of 20 pitches were strikes (60 %) in his Double-A debut … now has a 33/4 K/BB in 14.1 pro innings, which works out to a 20.73 K/9 and 55.9 K%
- RHP Danny Burawa: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 2/0 GB/FB – nine of 16 pitches were strikes (56%)
Rookie the Bat Dog up for Minor League Best Mascot Award
Quick note to pass along: Double-A Trenton's bat dog Rookie is up for a Minor League Best Mascot Award. You might remember that Rookie's grandfather Chase passed away last summer. You can vote right here or by using the hashtag #VoteRookieThunder on Twitter. There are 14 finalists and Rookie is the only living, breathing animal. The rest are dudes in mascot suits. Voting closes on August 11th. Take a second and go vote because bat dogs are awesome. · (13) ·

Game 113: Bounce BackBy · Comments
The Yankees suffered a tough loss last night, though they've played well of late and have a chance to bounce back tonight. The bullpen is a little short though — Joe Girardi said Dellin Betances is unlikely to be available due to his recent workload — so Chris Capuano is probably going to throw 100+ pitches whether he likes it or not. This would be a good night for the offense to give the pitching staff some breathing room, for once. Here is the Tigers lineup and here is the Yankees lineup:
- LF Brett Gardner
- SS Derek Jeter
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- DH Carlos Beltran
- C Brian McCann
- 3B Chase Headley
- 2B Stephen Drew
- RF Martin Prado
LHP Chris Capuano
It's warm and cloudy in New York, but there is no rain in the forecast. Tonight's game is scheduled to start just after 7pm ET and you can watch on YES. Enjoy.
Roster Note: Jeff Francis has officially been released. The Yankees designated him for assignment last week to clear a roster spot when they called up Zoilo Almonte.
Madden: Phillies wanted Aaron Judge for Marlon Byrd at trade deadline
Via Bill Madden: The Phillies wanted top outfield prospect Aaron Judge in exchange for Marlon Byrd at the trade deadline. The report comes after Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. told Matt Gelb his deadline inactivity was due to other teams not being aggressive enough. Other reports indicate clubs did not believe Philadelphia had sincere interest in moving their players given their unwillingness to negotiate.
Judge, 22, is having a monster year after being selected with the second of the Yankees' three first round picks last summer. He's hitting .319/.429/.509 (165 wRC+) with 20 doubles, 15 homers, and a system-leading 74 walks in 108 games split between Low-A Charleston and High-A Tampa. Judge for Byrd is silly and the Yankees would never do it, but I don't think there's anything wrong with initially asking for a big return. If teams never did that, there wouldn't be any Scott Kazmir for Victor Zambrano trades. It's the unwillingness to budge that's the real problem. For the Phillies, anyway. · (72) ·
Heading into the trade deadline, it was clear the Yankees needed to beef up their offense. They were getting very little from right field and second base in particular, plus third base became a black hole as soon as Yangervis Solarte returned to Earth. The Yankees needed to do something to add to their lineup, something more than wait for Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran to turn their seasons around.
Improving the offense wasn't their only need at the trade deadline. The Yankees also needed to upgrade their infield defense because it was disastrous. Truly one of the worst infield defenses I have ever seen and it would have been a lot worse if not for the club's emphasis on shifting to compensate for the lack of range. The bad defense was the most consistent part of the team too — every day the infield would cost them. It was amazing to watch, really.
The Yankees are locked into Derek Jeter at short and Mark Teixeira at first for better or worse, though there was nothing standing in way of acquiring upgrades at second and third bases. Acquire those upgrades is exactly what they did, swinging a deal for Chase Headley last month and bringing in Stephen Drew just before the trade deadline. Headley has long been a solid gloveman and while Drew would be playing out of position at second base, his athleticism and quickness made him a decent bet to outperform Brian Roberts.
Headley's bat hasn't been anything special yet (86 wRC+ in 58 PA), but he has been outstanding in the field. He gobbles up everything hit his way and seems to really excel at going to his right for backhanded stops. Drew has been with the team for only five games, and while he hasn't done much with the bat either (64 wRC+ in 18 PA), he's looked pretty comfortable at second. We haven't gotten much of a look at him, of course, but Roberts was bobbling routine plays towards the end of his time with the Yankees. Drew hasn't done that.
With some help from the indispensable Baseball Savant, here is a quick and dirty look at how the Yankees have fared at turning ground balls into outs this season. Real basic stuff, how many grounders are being converted into outs with no adjustment for hit quality or hit location or anything like that. Obvious sample size caveats apply:
|Total Grounders
|Grounders Per Error
|Before Headley Trade
|Since Headley Trade
|Since Drew Trade
The AL average is a .250 BABIP on ground balls this season, so the Yankees were just a touch worse than that before acquiring Headley. Even with all the shifts and whatnot, they were still a bit below-average because of the general lack of range and sure-handedness they had around the infield. It felt a lot worse, to be honest.
Since acquiring Headley though, that has dropped to a .227 BABIP, much better than the league average. The infield has also cut their rate of making an error — errors aren't the best way to measure defense, but I'm mentioning them because the Yankees did seem to have a knack for getting to the ball and failing to make the play for much of the year — basically in half. That isn't all because of Headley, but he is a big part of it. Solarte was sneaky bad in the field and Kelly Johnson never looked comfortable at the hot corner (or first base, for that matter).
The infield defense has improved even more since Drew arrived, though it has been less than a week, so who really knows. The numbers do match up with the eye test though, and that's always cool. You don't need to be a trained scout to see how improved defensively the infield has been the last few weeks. Headley is a tremendous upgrade over what the Yankees had at the hot corner for most of the year. Drew looks comfortable at second and has been better than Roberts.
Going from below-average defenders to above-average defenders at two of the four infield spots is a big, big deal. The Yankees had a weirdly built roster earlier in the season in that their best defensive players (Brett Gardner and Jacoby Ellsbury) were marginalized by a pitching staff that focused on getting ground balls to avoid cheap homers at Yankee Stadium. Thanks to the Headley and Drew additions, the Yankees now have an infield defense better suited for the strength of the pitching staff, and their impact in the field has been obvious.
Reports: Padres to name A.J. Preller, not Billy Eppler, new GM
According to both Ken Rosenthal and Dennis Lin, the Padres will name Rangers assistant GM A.J. Preller their new general manager. An official announcement is expected later today. Preller beat out Yankees assistant GM Billy Eppler for the job, as well as MLB executive Kim Ng and Red Sox assistant GM Mike Hazen.
Eppler, a San Diego native, was said to be the front-runner for the job just yesterday. If yesterday's report is to be believed, this is the second time he will have finished second in the running for a GM job. He was the runner-up to Jerry Dipoto for the Angels' gig a few years ago. Eppler has been with the Yankees since 2004 and was the director of pro scouting from 2005-11 before being promoted to assistant GM. As I've been saying, it's only a matter of time before he becomes a GM, either as Brian Cashman's successor or with some other team. · (50) ·
Yesterday afternoon, the Yankees dumped lefty reliever Matt Thornton on the Nationals after Washington claimed him off trade waivers. The Yankees literally gave Thornton away — the Nats claimed him and the Bombers could have pulled him back off revocable waivers, but they opted to send him and the $4.5M or so left on his contract south to the nation's capital for no return. It was a surprising move only because the Yankees need as much pitching as they can get these days.
"We have some young left-handers who are emerging quickly that we're excited about," said Brian Cashman to Dan Martin after the move was announced. "It's about flexibility in 2014 and 2015. I'm not shut down for business, whether it's buying, whether it's reshuffling the deck, as we're doing today … We've been mixing and matching all year. That's not going to stop. I can't predict what's going to happen tomorrow."
Both Cashman and Joe Girardi cited the team's collection of upper level lefty bullpen prospects — Tyler Webb, James Pazos, and 2014 second round pick Jacob Lindgren were all mentioned by name — as one reason why they let Thornton go. (Girardi didn't seem to fully trust him, which I'm guessing made the move easier.) It seems they simply believe they can replace him from within and better use that $4.5M elsewhere. Given their recent history with veteran lefty relievers on multi-year contracts, dumping Thornton before he went all Damaso Marte or Pedro Feliciano on them makes sense.
Soon after the deal, Ken Rosenthal reported the Yankees are "working on other things" and could reallocate the savings from Thornton elsewhere. I know $4.5M doesn't sound like much, especially when the team has a $200M+ payroll and $3.5M of the $4.5M comes next year, but Hal Steinbrenner is very focused on the bottom line and it does appear the club is bumping up against some kind of payroll limit. Hal reportedly had to give Cashman approval to up payroll at the trade deadline, and even then they had cash thrown into the Brandon McCarthy ($2.05M), Chase Headley ($1M), and Stephen Drew ($500K) deals.
The Yankees are presumably still looking to add some rotation help this month — Chuck Garfien noted Yankees special assistant Jim Hendry was in Chicago scouting the White Sox last night, presumably because the very available John Danks was pitching (he got capital-D destroyed) — and the Thornton deal gives them some extra money to make that happen. Not having that roster spot married to a specific veteran pitcher makes swapping out players easier as well, even if we're only talking about calling up fresh arms whenever they're needed. (Like today.)
I don't see this as the Yankees admitting signing Thornton was a mistake. Not at all. Circumstances have changed over the last few months and right now the financial and roster flexibility is more valuable to them than a good but not great left-handed specialist. It's not often you get to simply walk away from a contract like that, even a relatively small one like Thornton's. The Yankees took advantage and are now in position to use the savings elsewhere, specifically on a rotation upgrade. I don't think getting rid of Thornton was the endgame. I think it was the first domino.

Some notes:
- If you've been reading RAB long enough, then the name Neil Medchill should ring a bell. He spent a few years in the organization before being released last summer. Medchill currently plays in an independent league, but, as Brett Dolan writes, he is giving up the rest of his season and possibly his career to donate bone marrow to a cancer patient. He entered the donor registry recently and got a call a few months later. Check out the story. Great stuff by Medchill.
- RHP Luis Severino has been named to Baseball America's All-Prospect Team for July. He was on the May team too. Severino is having a whale of a season, though he is currently out with a supposedly minor oblique issue.

Gym Stories
There was this fucking hot blonde new girl who walked into the gym with the most gorgeous arms I've ever seen today. I thought fucking Beats girl had beautiful shoulders, no way, this girl, was legit body building training, her arms were sooooooo cut, and it was just….Ngh. I think I had a raging Deltoid boner for her all day today. She had a personal trainer yelling at her to push out like 3 more reps and like fuck me, sign me up too please.
But she was using low weights. Her shoulders were as big as mine I think (just really cut) and she was lifting relatively light weights (Shoulders are tricky to work out and you generally want to stick to lighter weights) but I was shocked because I was lifting more than her. However she was pushing the reps out like a mother fucker. She prolly did a 1,000 reps today. On just shoulders. ON SHOULDERS.
And she was the perfect type of blonde, ponytail up high on her head, and she had the perfect blue tight work out top on and was wearing black capris pants and just ugghnbfghnb it's like she jumped out of my /fit/ girl folder and into my gym, it was fucking great.
Unfortunately I went to the gym early tonight so I doubt I'll ever see her again >:(

Coming into the draft, many people felt that with last year's selections of Zach Ertz and Matt Barkley, Chip Kelly had a dangerously growing fascination with selecting players who torched him in the Pac-12. So what does Chip do in response to that? He goes back to his roots, and begins to select some of the players who helped to get him to the NFL.
After taking former Oregon Ducks' wideout Josh Huff yesterday evening, the Eagles used their second selection of day three of the NFL draft to take Oregon defensive-end Taylor Hart.
Hart is a hard-working defensive-end, who should help the Eagles to continue to improve a rush defense that was decimated by the wide-nine fiasco.
I know some people are concerned that the Eagles haven't taken any inside-linebackers in the draft, but I think that they have made sure not reach for anyone, and to take guys (this applies especially to the defensive selections) that can make some sort of impact next year, have versatility, and haven't reached their full potential yet. Maybe the defense isn't drastically improve by this draft, but it is certainly better than it was at the beginning of Thursday night.

On The Fly: Closing Wrap
The Wall Street averages were mixed after three of the U.S.'s largest banks reported on their quarterly results and Germany slashed its economic forecasts for this year and next. Following the mostly solid earnings reports from the banks and Dow member Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) investors appeared to breathe a sigh of relief and sent the averages higher in early trading. With oil prices falling almost 5% and settling at a recent low, the averages pared their gains and struggled in positive ground. Another late day slide ended with the averages mixed, as the Nasdaq led and the Dow lagged. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the International Energy Agency said in its monthly oil market report that world oil demand growth would be weaker than previously expected. Afterward, WTI crude oil futures fell 4.6% at $81.84, marking their biggest percentage drop since late 2012 and the lowest settlement for the benchmark in over two years. The National Federation of Independent Business' small business optimism index came in at 95.3, versus the consensus expectation for a 95.8 reading. In Europe, Germany's government cut its forecasts for gross domestic product growth to 1.2% in 2014 and 1.3% next year from its prior view of 1.8% growth this year and 2% in 2015. COMPANY NEWS: The first of America's big banks issued their quarterly reports, with JPMorgan's (JPM) headline earnings per share coming in below analysts' consensus estimate, Wells Fargo (WFC) reporting in-line earnings and improved credit quality and Citigroup (C) posting better than expected adjusted third quarter profit. Citi, which also announced plans to pull back from retail banking in eleven countries and said it will disband a legacy Banamex unit after an investigation uncovered illegal conduct, saw its stock fare the best among the three, rising $1.57, or 3.15%, to $51.47... Another Dow member, Johnson & Johnson, reported better than expected profits and revenues and raised its FY14 EPS outlook, but its stock slid $2.11, or 2.13%, to $97.01. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Domino's Pizza (DPZ), which rose $8.58, or 11.33%, to $84.30 after the pizza chain owner and franchisor reported better than expected third quarter earnings per share and revenue. Also higher was Skyworks (SWKS), which advanced $3.59, or 7.92%, to $48.91 after the supplier of chips to Apple (AAPL) raised its fourth quarter earnings per share outlook and revenue guidance. Among the noteworthy losers was Exactech (EXAC), which dropped $4.09, or 16.63%, to $20.50 after the company warned its Q3 income and revenue will likely miss its prior guidance. Also lower were shares of Gilead (GILD), which fell $4.26, or 4.2%, to $97.18 amid a number of developments. Competitor Johnson & Johnson said it would seek to make its own hepatitis C treatment accessible and "competitive," which some may have read as an indication of a potential price cut, and Ireland said it plans to close its "Irish Double" tax loophole, which currently benefits Gilead. INDEXES: The Dow slipped 5.88, or 0.04%, to 16,315.19, the Nasdaq rose 13.52, or 0.32%, to 4,227.17, and the S&P 500 added 2.96, or 0.16%, to 1,877.70.
On The Fly: Midday Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were higher at midday after three of the nation's largest banks reported on their results in the most recent quarter of the year. The market began the session in positive territory but the move seemed tenuous and the averages were almost back in negative ground within a half hour of the opening bell. As the morning progressed and the bears were unable to gain control, the buyers emerged and pushed the Dow to a triple digit gain and the Nasdaq to an increase of nearly 1.5%. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the National Federation of Independent Business' small business optimism index came in at 95.3, versus the consensus expectation for a 95.8 reading. COMPANY NEWS: JPMorgan (JPM) swung to a third quarter profit, but its headline earnings per share fell below analysts' consensus estimate. Of note, the company's press release on its results came out earlier than planned on Nasdaq's (NDAQ) Shareholder.com website, which the exchange operator attributed to an internal "human error." Wells Fargo (WFC) reported in-line earnings and stronger credit quality, but its stock slid 1.4% following the report. Citigroup (C) generated the most headlines, however, as it reported better than expected adjusted third quarter profit, announced plans to pull back from retail banking in eleven countries and said it will disband a legacy Banamex unit that provided personal security services after an investigation uncovered illegal conduct. Shares of Citi bucked the trend set by its two peers, rising 3% near noon... In addition to JPMorgan, Dow member Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) reported on its third quarter earnings. The drug and medical device giant reported better than expected profits and revenues and raised its FY14 EPS outlook, but the stock was fractionally lower near midday. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Energy Transfer Equity (ETE), which gained 8.5% after the stock was among the energy industry names upgraded this morning at RW Baird. Also higher was Skyworks (SWKS), which rose 11% after the company preannounced stronger than expected results that its CEO attributed to the "broad-based strength" of its business. Among the noteworthy losers was EnerNOC (ENOC), which dropped 11% after JPMorgan downgraded the stock to Neutral citing risk to the company's Demand Response revenue at PJM given the challenge to FERC Rule 745. Also lower was Tyco (TYC), which fell nearly 4% after Barclays downgraded the stock citing valuation and coupled the ratings change with an upgrade of Eaton (ETN). INDEXES: Near midday, the Dow was up 133.38, or 0.82%, to 16,454.45, the Nasdaq was up 60.63, or 1.44%, to 4,274.29, and the S&P 500 was up 21.51, or 1.15%, to 1,896.25.

Credit card players such as American Express (AXP) and Capital One (COF), as well as banks with significant card units like JPMorgan (JPM), stand to benefit from the U.S. card industry's "sweet spot" of moderate economic growth, low interest rates and consumers who are better managing payments while growing their spending, said The Wall Street Journal, which noted that consulting firm R.K. Hammer estimates U.S. card issuers' revenue will grow 9% this year to $158.6B. Other U.S. banks with credit card units include Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), and Wells Fargo (WFC) and other card companies include Visa (V) and MasterCard (MA).

Check out what we've been working on at the Momplex lately!!!! Notice anything different??? I'll give you a hint. It costed a small fortune ... probably more than a gold plated bathtub ... But it was worth every single penny! We've got water!!!! Up here in Alaska (where we live) you are on your own for water. We had to drill down a couple hundred feet for a well (that was the small fortune part and a big reason we decided to build the Mom's a shared duplex - so we don't have to drill two wells). The well sat, just a big pipe looking awkward, for the longest time while we worked on all the other stuff in between a giant hole in the ground and a bathroom vanity needing water. And then finally last summer, we dropped the pump down the well. And capped it. The water line is 9 feet down, below the frost line, so the water never freezes. The small gray tube holds the electrical wires that supply power to the pump. But what happens from here??? The water line and the electrical are brought inside the Momplex underground. The electrical (the gray box on the upper right) ties in to a pressure switch mounted on the pressure tank. When the pressure in the pressure tank gets too low, it trips a switch, that in turn feeds power to the well pump, causing it to pump water into the pressure tank, until the switch trips back signaling the tank is full. The water line is the white line on the lower right, rapped in the heat trace. It comes in from below ground, and fills the tank, and then on to where ever water is needed by Mom. You need the pressure tank so your well isn't kicking on and off every time you turn the faucet on. Kinda like buying all your groceries for the week at once, instead of running to the store every time you need a snack. From there, the water is distributed to manifolds that we DIYed: That way we can turn water on and off at the main manifolds in case of a leak or burst pipe or we need to work on something. And from there, the water is distributed through water lines to kitchens and baths throughout the Momplex. Up until now, the plumbing lines were just stub outs in the wall. But we cut the stubouts off and hooked faucets up, put a p-trap between the sink and the drain, and guess what??? We have water up at the Momplex!!! With the faucet done, we moved on to the showers . The plumbing is already stubbed out, so I just attached the shower head. In my defense, wouldn't I look even funnier with perfect hair as a plumber??? For the shower drains, we silicone the drains, And then screw them in place using the old double screwdriver trick. I know they make a tool for this .... but you can't have every tool, can you? Sometimes you just gotta make do with what you have. And then the drain is just screwed over top to hide the plumbing. Tada! Shower is done!!! The Momplex has definitely "moved up" since this day!!! This space behind the door was originally intended for either a larger tub instead of a shower or a linen closet. But Mom really wanted laundry on the main floor, so we sized the area just big enough to put a stacking laundry set in. When I say just big enough, I do mean just big enough. It could not have been any smaller. We placed a tub under the washer as cheap insurance in case of a leak ... Sad, I know, I'd have loved to have built pedestals under the washer and dryer, but the dryer would then have been too high. Sigh - you gotta compromise sometimes ... So what does that leave us with?????? Imagine being 8 months pregnant and spending most of your day working 2 miles from a fully functioning bathroom. Yes, I'm pretty darn excited that the toilet is up next!!! And then we can talk making it pretty!

How genes influence parenting
Researchers have presented the most conclusive proof yet that genes play a significant role in parenting.
A study by two Michigan State University psychologists refutes the popular theory that how adults parent their children is strictly a function of the way they were themselves parented when they were children.
S. Alexandra Burt, associate professor of psychology and co-author of a study led by doctoral student Ashlea M. Klahr, said that the way we parent is not solely a function of the way we were parented as children, asserting that there also appears to be genetic influences on parenting.
Klahr and Burt conducted a statistical analysis of 56 scientific studies from around the world on the origins of parenting behavior, including some of their own.
The comprehensive analysis, involving more than 20,000 families from Australia to Japan to the United States, found that genetic influences in the parents account for 23 percent to 40 percent of parental warmth, control and negativity towards their children.
The study sheds light on another misconception: that parenting is solely a top-down process from parent to child. While parents certainly seem to shape child behavior, parenting also is influenced by the child's behavior - in other words, parenting is both a cause and a consequence of child behavior.
The study has been published in Psychological Bulletin.

This summer, the heavenly beaches of the famous "Bukit" peninsula will get busy with some of the greatest international surfing events.
Here is a sneak peek of the long-awaited competitions.
Billabong 06 Star ASC event:
In partnership with the Asian Surfing Championships (ASC), the famous surf brand has announced that it will be hosting a 6 Star ASC event at Balangan Beach, Pecatu, Bali, from 4 – 7 July 2013.
Highly regarded by surfers for its long breaking left handed waves, Balangan is set against a beautiful beach backdrop, located only 09 kilometers away from Kupu Kupu Jimbaran.
Its white sand and crystalline water setting pleases holidaymakers and surfers from around the globe.
This event titled after Billabong's new global campaign, "Life's better in Boardshorts", is a surf event that has been conceived to not just bring Asia's best surfers together, but also beach lovers to have a good time.
Surfers from all over Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Korea, China and Japan and Indonesia) will all be competing with the same goal, the IDR 70 000 000 grand prize.
Rip Curl Cup 2013:
The international surf brand is thrilled to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the Ultimate Tuberiding Contest on one of the most popular surf spot in Bali, Padang-Padang. Located on the Bukit peninsula, only 15 kilometers away from Kupu Kupu Jimbaran, its calm waters by the sand and break on the offshore reef make this beach a favorite for families and pro-surfers from around the world.
In the past years the Rip Curl Cup Invitational has seen some of the finest tube masters of the modern era compete in the spitting barrels of Padang Padang, including international icons such as Jamie O'Brien, Dean Morrison, Chris Ward, Makua Rothman, Ry Craike and Ozzie Wright. Meanwhile, Indonesia's top surfers like Rizal, Garut, Bol, Mega, Lee Wilson, Marlon Gerber and Dede Suryana have consistently proven they can compete with the best in the world at the Balinese Pipeline.
This year, the waiting period for the perfect tubes is set July 1st to August 15th.
When the contest gets the green light, you can be certain Padang will be all-time and the barrel rides going down in the water will be among the best of the year.
Stay with us at Kupu Kupu Jimbaran and experience the events… front row seats!

Jan 29, 2014Manhattan is my favorite movie ever. Every aspect of the movie is spot on: the script, directing, acting, cinematography, etc. It stays grounded but still is dramatic and interesting.
Jul 1, 2011This movie was simply fantastic. Another job well done Mr. Woody Allen. Woody Allen's character was so likable. You begin to really become attached to each character throughout the movie. It gets to where you don't want the characters to get hurt and you only want good things to happen to each character. Everything that occurs that is morally wrong you, of course, hope that everything fixes itself or gets fixed. This movie ties two things together very well, comedy and love. I highly recommend it.… Expand
Aug 27, 2011Manhattan has so much to offer, it's almost vexing. It's funny, sentimental, romantic, dramatic, musical, and visual. It's about romanticism, relationships, art, love, loss, narcissism, and realization. Yet all of this can take a backseat to a series of delicate moments, and instances of clarity. When watching, it's poetry in motion. When revisiting, it's an emotional treasure.
Jan 1, 2012Beautiful and witty, Manhattan is a wonderful work of cinema. Then again, I am a big fan of Woody Allen himself, but that aside the choice of black and white photography helps compliment and boost the film itself. While Annie Hall maybe be slightly more humorous, Manhattan is more serious in its prose and provides a nice balance between the comic and the dramatic. What I find simply wonderful about this film and many others of Allen's is their ability to read like books, with great characters that are deep and realistic rather than stiff and cliché. This movie is just simply a masterpiece.… Expand
Jan 19, 2012Maybe Allen's best movie ever, the black-and-white Manhattan is an incredible study on the human relationships presented with a romantic, funny way. Rhapsody in blue is just amazing as the background of the beautiful, yet bittersweet picture of New York that we get here. The movie is about a 42 year old man, who has a relationship with a 17 year old girl and falls in love with his friend's ex-mistress. But is much more than this. It's a movie about you and me. An ode to the simplicity and the complex of our relationships .… Expand
Nov 27, 2012The opening shots of MIDNIGHT IN PARIS (2011, 6/10) can easily hark back to this Black & White paean to New York made more than three decades age, with the same deployment of representative landmarks (although I have yet set my foot on America). The storyline may suit perfectly as a prophesy for Allen his own private life decades later, to which I am trying my best shun away since the independence of the film should be irrelevant of the creator's personal idiosyncrasy, which is a hard call in this case. It's a petit bourgeois melodrama, could be a sequel of ANNE HALL (1977, 9/10), there is still Allen and Keaton, and Allen is still a neurotic and nagging cipher, but Keaton here is not a winning scatterbrain, instead being characterized as a high-strung lost cause, which in a sense, these two are very much alike, pretending sophisticate as a charade to conceal their immature rationality. Words are Allen's strongest weapon, so albeit being a bit piqued by the characters (pretentiousness, stupidity and high-brow condescending), the script itself has its shrewdness and comedic tones will suffice to launch an ambiguous attachment towards our commonplace life. The … Collapse
Sep 1, 2014A timeless romance for the ages! Manhattan has grown to become one of Woody Allen's early greats and for good reason. Diane Keaton is sharp as ever alongside former-partner Woody Allen in this smart romantic drama. Meryl Streep shows promise in an early-career role.
May 7, 2012Allen's best film. Among the standouts of American cinema in the post-studio era. Virtually perfect. The film's lifted to extraordinary heights by, among other things, a brilliant screenplay, careful direction, spectacular cinematography, and amazing performances from (particularly) Allen, Keaton, and Hemingway. There's more beneath the (glittering) surface of "Manhattan" than any Allen film. At the center of it all is a captivating tension between romantic ideals -- the drive to satisfy them, and the hypocritical demand that others do the same -- and something of far less starry-eyed allure -- reality. This tension is achieved in multiple, varied ways within the film. From the disconnect between the impeccable look of the film and the messes played out by the characters on screen, to the contrast between one character's surprisingly precocious authenticity and the world of disingenuous posturing that infects the remaining characters. The question at the end of "Manhattan," when revelation may find reality triumphing over romanticism, and taking on a more enduring, humane, and compassionate value of its own, is whether enlightenment (if that's what is) has come too late.… Expand
Jun 29, 2013One of the best films I've seen on a Saturday afternoon. The ever-so esoteric Issac Davis runs into several conflicts with his expectations in life and provides us with both a humorous drama that has been appreciated for several decades. Woody Allen is simply phenomenal, both in his acting and directional skills
Jun 30, 2013I don't like romantic comedies and I don't really like Woody Allen. So yeah, I didn't like this film very much. The characters are not really interesting or engaging and I felt the romance wasn't that great at all. At least it was quite short and not as slow moving or as dialogue-empty as other films. But still, I was not very pleased with this movie but then again others do and so I suggest you think carefully if you're considering watching this film.… Expand
Jun 30, 2014"Manhattan" is Woody Allen's best movie so far, right up there next to Annie Hall. The film is an in-depth character study about relationships in the greatest city on Earth and how people affect each other. The movie is convincing with its amazing acting, wonderful story, and almost flawless screenplay. Woody gives his character such quirk and self conceit that you can't help but feel sorry for the poor man.… Expand
this is a very good movie. Woody Allen is ... Woody, sublimely. Diane Keaton gives us a fresh and nicely edged New York intellectual. And Mariel Hemingway deserves some kind of special award for what's in some ways the most difficult role in the film.
What happens is not the substance of Manhattan as much as how it happens. The movie is full of moments that are uproariously funny and others that are sometimes shattering for the degree in which they evoke civilized desolation.
Deft comedy set in a neurotic town. People may argue about the relative merits of Annie Hall vis-a-vis Manhattan, which is a better and more fully realized film. By this time Allen had forsworn the glib one-liner and spent more time developing well-rounded characters.

Paramedics are called to a college fraternity Halloween party where a large cauldron of "green witches brew" was being served. Several students are found intoxicated with altered mental status and hallucinations. Two male freshman students suffer generalized tonic-clonic seizures en route to the ED.
A 35 year-old male with a past medical history of severe mental retardation and a seizure disorder was observed eating 16 "snake" fireworks by nursing home staff. He presented to the ED uncooperative and was tachycardic.
The patient is a 27-year-old stock exchange worker who presents to the
ED with a complaint of anxiety, chest pain, sweating, palpitations and a
feeling of "paranoia and impending doom" following the recreational
ingestion of "bath salts" two hours prior at a company party.
Indigenous to Mexico and Central America, the red green poinsettia (or Christmas Star), was first introduced to the US in the 1800s. The plant's reputation for toxicity stemmed from a single unconfirmed case fatality of a 2-year-old child in the early 1900s.
Over the last six months, the drug K2 – or "spice" – has gained national attention both from the media and the medical community. This synthetic cannabinoid, which is completely legal in most states, is sending users to the ED with symptoms from hallucinations to seizures.
The patient is a 21-year-old male who presents to your ED with vomiting and dizziness after drinking homemade tea made with leaves and flowers from the plant pictured.
Partial opiate agonist poisoning in a child
A two year-old boy without medical history is brought to the ED 30 minutes afterbeing found next to a spilled bottle of Suboxone. The father is prescribed Suboxonefor prescription narcotic addiction. The child was otherwise in usual state of health.
