AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Alex Rodriguez was ensnared in a doping investigation once again Tuesday when an alternative weekly newspaper reported baseball's highest-paid star was among a half-dozen players listed in records of a Florida clinic the paper said sold performance-enhancing drugs.
The Miami New Times said the three-time AL MVP bought human growth hormone and other performance-enhancing substances during 2009-12 from Biogenesis of America LLC, a now-closed anti-aging clinic in Coral Cables, Fla., near Rodriguez's offseason home.
The new public relations firm for the New York Yankees third baseman issued a statement denying the allegations.
The newspaper said it obtained records detailing purchases by Rodriguez, 2012 All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera, 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner Bartolo Colon and 2011 AL championship series MVP Nelson Cruz of Texas.
Cabrera left San Francisco after the season to sign with Toronto, while Oakland re-signed Colon.
Other baseball players the newspaper said appeared in the records include Washington pitcher Gio Gonzalez, who finished third in last year's NL Cy Young Award voting, and San Diego catcher Yasmani Grandal.
Biogenesis, which the New Times said was run by Anthony Bosch, was located in a beige, nondescript office park. The former clinic is no longer listed as a business in its directory,
"There was a flier put out by the building management a couple weeks ago. It was put on all the doors and windows of all the offices," said Brad Nickel, who works in a group cruise planning company on the floor above where the clinic was located. "It just said this guy's not really a doctor, he doesn't belong here, he's no longer allowed here, call the police or the building management if you see him."
David Sierra, who works in his aunt's real estate office in the same building, kept a picture of the flier on his iPhone. He recognized the doctor in the picture from passing him in the hallway.
Sierra said while he never recognized any of the clients at the clinic, "there were always really nice cars in front -- I'm not talking just Mercedes. Range Rovers, Bentleys."
The New Times posted copies of what it said were Bosch's handwritten records, obtained through a former Biogenesis employee it did not identify.
Bosch's lawyer, Susy Ribero-Ayala, said in a statement the New Times report "is filled with inaccuracies, innuendo and misstatements of fact."
"Mr. Bosch vehemently denies the assertions that MLB players such as Alex Rodriguez and Gio Gonzalez were treated by or associated with him," she said.
Rodriguez appears 16 times in the documents New Times received, the paper said, either as "Alex Rodriguez," ''Alex Rod" or the nickname "Cacique," a pre-Columbian Caribbean chief.
Rodriguez admitted four years ago that he used PEDs from 2001-03. Cabrera, Colon and Grandal were suspended for 50 games each last year by MLB following tests for elevated testosterone. Responding to the testosterone use, MLB and the players' union said Jan. 10 they were authorizing the World Anti-Doping Agency laboratory outside Montreal to store each major leaguer's baseline testosterone/epitestosterone (T/E) ratio in order to detect abnormalities.
"We are always extremely disappointed to learn of potential links between players and the use of performance-enhancing substances," MLB said in a statement. "Only law enforcement officials have the capacity to reach those outside the game who are involved in the distribution of illegal performance-enhancing drugs. ... We are in the midst of an active investigation and are gathering and reviewing information."
A baseball official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to make public statements, said Monday that MLB did not have any documentation regarding the allegations. If MLB does obtain evidence, the players could be subject to discipline. First offenses result in a 50-game suspension and second infractions in 100-game penalties. A third violation results in a lifetime ban.
Rodriguez is sidelined for at least the first half of the season after hip surgery Jan. 16. A 50-game suspension would cost him $7.65 million of his $28 million salary.
"The news report about a purported relationship between Alex Rodriguez and Anthony Bosch are not true," Rodriguez said in a statement issued by a publicist. "He was not Mr. Bosch's patient, he was never treated by him and he was never advised by him. The purported documents referenced in the story -- at least as they relate to Alex Rodriguez -- are not legitimate."
Jay Reisinger, a lawyer who has represented Rodriguez in recent years, said the three-time AL MVP had retained Roy Black, an attorney from Rodriguez's hometown of Miami. Black's clients have included Rush Limbaugh and William Kennedy Smith.

It's the news we've all been waiting for Cheryl (formerly Cheryl Cole) is going on tour! The Geordie singer who has so far released one single from her eagerly anticipated fourth album will be playing nine arena dates this autumn. Starting in Belfast on October the 3rd and ending in her hometown on Newcastle on October 17th – we presume this is so her Mum can cook her a nice big dinner to celebrate its completion.
But the most important question on everybody's lips (after whether she's going to sing live or not) is who's going to design her costumes? Her fluro Pamm Hogg number for Sunday's Summertime Ball had the nation aghast, whilst her custom-made Roberto Cavalli trousers for her appearance on The Voice made us all wish it was just that little bit sunnier outside - tropical print doesn't have quite the same kudos in the pouring rain. Nothing has been announced yet which means designers may still be free to suggest their designs for the pint-sized pop star.
Cheryl announced the news on her website this morning saying, 'The news you've all been waiting to hear! Cheryl has just announced her first solo nationwide arena tour, with dates up and down the UK and Ireland this October.' CC super-fans out there will notice that the tour ends just in time for the Girls Aloud ten year reunion in November. Cheryl has recently alluded to the possibility of the girls reconciling. She told Chris Moyles, 'It's out tenth birthday in November and we want to do something to celebrate.' We're guessing she doesn't mean your standard party and a few balloons celebration either!

Hi folks,
I built my PC at the end of WotLK. It was awesome then, I could run WoW on ultra everywhere and had great frame rates without the fan on my GPU screaming. Now, my PC is old and tired (just like me) and the noise from the fans is bad even on medium settings. This simply won't do! As my peripherals are still in good condition, I don't really see a need to replace them.
I am looking for recommendations for a new CPU, cooler, motherboard, GPU and SSD. I'll post up whatever details are necessary here just in case things wont be compatible with the rest of my system.
€1500 or so. Maybe thats excessive for what I "need" but if I need more than just the new components I listed, then I could spend that and more. My machine has a 1kw PSU in it at the moment so I'm guessing I won't need to replace it? €2k max for everything, should I need to start from scratch.
To fill the budget:

Lol Fetzie I never even thought of RAM! I have 16GB at the moment. I would fill all my RAM slots if you thought it would be worth it? I don't particularly care how well my machine will run anything except WoW, I just want to be able to run everywhere, on ultra, in relative silence.
What hardware do you currently have?
Do you use multiple monitors?
Do you only want to play WoW?
What is the resolution of your monitor?
I only have (and have room for) one 1920x1080 monitor, its a 60hz LG 23" monitor. Basically I will only play WoW. I have an Asus Xonar DX soundcard which hasn't failed me yet hooked up to some fairly basic active stereo speakers.
The mobo is an Asus P7H57D-V EVO. I've seen on sites like MMO-Champ people can link their entire spec but I forget now where it was. I could do that if it would be of any help?
Well, yeah...I could do that if it would be of any help?
That is an LGA 1156 board, the RAM is probably 1.65V so not really compatible with 1155 processors and motherboards.The mobo is an Asus P7H57D-V EVO
Give me the
I dunno, I mean your CPU is decent. Your graphics card will always have run hot, the 480 was like a 1 bar heater. Simply replacing the graphics card should greatly reduce the temperature and noise.
I would consider only replacing the graphics card if it would be worth it in terms of getting say 60FPS everywhere for the duration of this expansion on ultra settings. The other reason for wanting to get a new system is the excessive amounts of BSOD I seem to get for whatever reason. If there was a reliable and easy way to actually detect what the problems are that cause the blue screens, then I might just hold on to the rest and get a new GPU. A completely new system however, is not out of my reach at all, Santa is coming soon after all!
You can spend 6000 on a computer and it won't run WoW at 60 FPS in raids all the time
HOWEVER, getting a new CPU and GPU would run WoW at 60FPS most of the time.
But only getting a new CPU and GPU wouldn't solve my blues screen problems...
You know the saying about a fool and his money, right?
9 times out of ten, blue screens are caused by driver issues.
And "get a new CPU" also means a new motherboard and new RAM.
What are the STOP codes when you BSOD?
Where can I find them to link to you?
Normally one writes it down when a BSOD occurs a second time
They are stored somewhere in the system manager, but I can't remember how you extract the data from them.
When they happen, the system restarts as soon as the crash dump is finished so I never get a chance to really take in what the BSOD is telling me, except the IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
Is your Windows in English or German?
Control Panel --> System --> Advanced System Settings --> Start and Restore (click on Settings) --> System Error (remove the tick next to "Automatically restart system")
Systemsteuerung --> System --> Erweiterte Systemeigenschaften --> Starten und Wiederherstellen (click on "Eigenschaften") --> Systemfehler (remove the tick next to "Systemneustart automatisch durchführen")
Ah thanks, done. I'll take a picture or something then next time it happens.
I switched on my machine just now, got half way through windows loading, and then that happened.

Movement 1: [untitled]
Movement 2: Adagio con moto
Movement 3: Allegro vivace
Here, perhaps, lies the reason why Kiel composed only one piano concerto. The essence of this form of composition demands a certain level of extrovertness that was alien to him. Nevertheless, with his Piano Concerto in B flat major he managed to write an undisputed masterpiece. It is marked throughout by a Beethovenian pathos, but without in any way being a copy. As always, Kiel also knew how to integrate outside influences into his style. The concerto was composed in 1864 and published one year later by the renowned publisher Simrock, which also published the works of Brahms. The work was dedicated to conductor, pianist and composer Hans von Bülow (1830–1894). Despite this prominent recommendation it failed to become popular. And yet it would certainly have enriched the monotonous programmes of the piano virtuosos of the time.
The first movement is infused throughout by the rhythm of Beethovenian revolution music. The main theme starts with an idea descending in a wonderful gesture that is repeated twice more and harmonically recontextualized. A relatively short transition leads to a cantabile second theme in B flat major. In the middle of a crescendo passage by the orchestra, the piano enters with virtuoso scales. What looks at the beginning like a solo exposition remains only an episode. After a few bars the orchestra again dominates and prepares the definitive entrance of the soloist with the main theme. Here Kiel plays creatively with the formal pattern of the sonata movement. Compared with the broad exposition, the development is kept relatively short and in terms of content is limited chiefly to the virtuoso gestures of the soloist. In return, the reprise has its surprises. It is virtually mirrored back and starts with the second theme. When the soloist performs the main theme fortissimo, he forms the transition to the coda.
For the slow movement, Kiel chose F sharp major, the key of Chopin's Nocturne Op 15 No 2 and Barcarolle. From the outside the movement seems like a three-part song form in which a melodiously tranquil outer section frames a rhythmically accentuated middle section. However, Kiel seems less concerned with the thematic processes than with the general mood. He evokes dreamlike shadowy landscapes that would be worthy of Schumann or Chopin. This musical clair obscure is brushed to one side with a toccata-style finale. Here the composer interweaves rondo and sonata forms. The main subject ('scherzando') dominates the entire movement with its lively dance rhythm. The interludes are not very profound. Nevertheless, Kiel manages a more lively final peroration, which also offers the soloist adequate opportunity to show his technical prowess.

This close-up mat has an imitation leather surface and a black rubberized, no-slip back or underside.
It is a convenient size for close-up work. At 9 1/2" wide and 7 1/2" deep it doesn't take up a lot of space on the table but provides a nice display / performing surface.
It is not spongy like many close-up pads, it is a classy looking little board that makes a world of difference on hard surfaces like glass. The non-slip backing keeps it in place and keeps your props under control.

That's a question many industry observers are now asking, since the pricing for the Windows 8 Pro tablet is relatively high for a tablet -- $899 for the 64 GB version and $999 for the 128 GB, without the keyboard cover.
Some observers immediately compared the Surface Pro to Apple's category-leading iPad. The 64 GB iPad, with Wi-Fi and 4G, is the most expensive configuration for that device, and runs about $830. The Surface Pro doesn't have 4G, comes with a stylus, and has a 128 GB model, among other differences. A high-end Android tablet, such as the Asus 64 GB Transformer Infinity, goes for about $600.
'PC AND a Tablet'
But, despite the name, looking at the Surface Pro as only a tablet misses Microsoft's intention. As Surface General Manager Panos Panay wrote Thursday on the Official Microsoft Blog, the Surface Pro is "a full PC AND a tablet."
That's because the Surface Pro runs Windows 8 Pro, and therefore can run all Windows 7 applications. In addition, it supports either a printed keyboard Touch Cover or a Type Cover with moveable keys, so that, with the cover attached, it can also readily operate as a laptop.
This new approach to tablets may be derived from Microsoft's increasingly do-it-yourself approach to hardware. On Wednesday, CEO Steve Ballmer told investors at the annual shareholders meeting that, while his company does have "good hardware partners," it is sometimes the case that "getting the innovation right across the seam of hardware and software is difficult unless you do both of them."
This new "do both of them" approach could be supported by reports this week -- if they turn out to be accurate -- that the technology giant is in the process of manufacturing its own Surface smartphone, to be released in first quarter.
Battery Life
While the pricing, application compatibility, and overall capability may suggest the Surface Pro is an Ultrabook in disguise, one factor compares somewhat unfavorably -- battery life.
Microsoft confirmed on Thursday that the Surface Pro will have a battery life about half that of the Surface tablet running Windows RT, which is estimated at eight to 10 hours.
That means four to five hours, at least in part because of the power requirements of the Surface Pro's Ivy Bridge Core i5 processor. (continued...)

The IgCC is the first model code to include sustainability measures for the entire construction project and its site — from design through construction, certificate of occupancy and beyond. The new code is expected to make buildings more efficient, reduce waste, and have a positive impact on health, safety and community welfare.
Baseline Green RequirementsThe IgCC creates a regulatory framework for new and existing buildings, establishing minimum green requirements for buildings and complementing voluntary rating systems, which may extend beyond baseline of the IgCC. The code acts as an overlay to the existing set of International Codes, including provisions of the International Energy Conservation Code and ICC-700, the National Green Building Standard, and incorporates ASHRAE Standard 189.1 as an alternate path to compliance.
Economic BenefitsGreen construction creates jobs and contributes to economic growth, according to the U.S. Green Building Council Green Jobs Study. In addition, there is no significant difference in the average life cycle cost for green buildings as compared to non-green buildings, according to research by the global construction consultants firm Davis Langdon.
Professional Development & Technical SupportTraining, certification exams and contractor testing on the key elements of the IgCC are currently being offered by ICC, with additional professional development and technical support materials under development.
The IgCC offers flexibility to jurisdictions that adopt the code by establishing several levels of compliance, starting with the core provisions of the code, and then offering "jurisdictional requirement" options that can be customized to fit the needs of a local community. Jurisdictions can further encourage and recognize higher building performance by adopting the IgCC's Project Electives appendix.
To ensure enforceability, the IgCC was reviewed by the same experts who develop building codes that officials enforce daily. Early versions of the IgCC released during the development of the code have been put into use by states and jurisdictions demonstrating the need and demand for safe and sustainable construction.
The IgCC was developed using the governmental consensus process. The initial public version of the IgCC was developed over an eight month period by a 29-member Sustainable Building Technology Committee, with input from more than 100 Work Group members composed of experts in government, business and academia, code development and enforcement, architecture, building science, engineering, and environmental health.

Jesse Lingard, who came off the bench for Leicester in an entertaining 2-2 derby draw with Nottingham Forest, is hoping to follow in Tom Cleverley's footsteps.
The youngster made a positive impression after replacing David Nugent in the 58th minute but Michael Keane missed out after returning to Manchester for treatment on a hamstring injury.
"I look at Tom Cleverley and what he has achieved, becoming part of the United first team, and he had his first loan move to Leicester," Lingard told the Leicester Mercury. "He stepped up and it would be good to follow in his footsteps.
"He is someone to look up to because, when he was younger, he was one of the small guys, like me. He didn't get much playing time in the youth team but he went out on loan, stuck at it and worked hard, and that is what I want to do."
Ben Amos featured in Hull City's 2-1 defeat to Cardiff with Robbie Brady replacing former Red Paul McShane in the second half. Despite making a string of saves, Amos was blamed for the opening goal and boss Steve Bruce revealed to the Hull Daily Mail: "Ben's form is typical of a young player. Do we look to protect him because he's a young lad? That's something we'll have to look at in the week.

Our Mission
"Surely every responsible citizen in a democracy is concerned when the social order fails to live up to its promise. It was precisely this concern that prompted my desire to help make a difference."
(Reinhard Mohn)
The Bertelsmann Stiftung Mission Statement presents our core beliefs. It also serves as a guideline for our employees, stating the goals of our work and the manner in which we strive to achieve them. In addition, it provides a framework for how we collaborate with each other.
The Bertelsmann Stiftung was founded by Reinhard Mohn in 1977 based on the belief that financial wellbeing entails social responsibility. In establishing the foundation, Mohn was acting on his conviction that material wealth brings with it an obligation to help others.
Our Mission
"Inspiring people. Shaping the future. Participating in a globalized world." This motto summarizes the work carried out by the Bertelsmann Stiftung. Effective participation in society requires both the ability to act and the opportunity to do so. The Bertelsmann Stiftung's programs are designed to strengthen society by helping individuals realize their full potential, and to further develop the systems necessary to achieve this goal.
Germany is facing enormous challenges resulting from globalization, demographic change, cultural diversity and the country's transition to a modern, knowledge-based society. Through our programs, we seek to provide people with the knowledge and skills they need to participate – economically, politically and culturally – in our increasingly complex and interconnected world. In short, our work focuses on the individual.
Inspiring people. Shaping the future.

Lake Arrowhead Getaway Information
If you're a fan of water sports, Lake Arrowhead vacation rentals are just what you're looking for. Lake Arrowhead is in Southern California, in San Bernardino County. Its mountain location makes it a bit cooler than the majority of Southern California.
Clean air, blue skies, mountain lakes, challenging trails, and beautiful views of the valley below are some of the surprises awaiting visitors to the San Bernardino Mountains. During the spring and fall, clouds cover the valley floor, and the mountains are bathed in sunlight. The lush green forest slopes are like islands rising above the sea of civilization. Most of the mountaintop is public land. The Forest Service is the largest land manager, but there are also state and county parks. Over twenty thousand people make their home here, and the resorts of Arrowhead and Big Bear attract thousands of visitors.
The forest is a complex community of many kinds of wild animals including black bear, raccoon, gray squirrel, coyote, and perhaps a mountain lion or bobcat in the warmer areas. The Arrowhead District is on the route of many migratory birds, along with the great bald eagle, which visits during the winter months with their young, from Alaska and other colder northern areas. The bold stellar jay and the acorn woodpecker are the most easily observed of the great variety of birds on the District. Most of the trout in the streams are placed there each year, but in a few remote areas native trout swim in the cold, fresh creeks.
Recreations on Arrowhead include a variety of camping and fishing options, motorized vehicular use, picnicking, swimming, canoeing, bird watching, nature study, wildlife and wildflower observation. Forest visitors on the San Bernardino, Cleveland, Angeles and Los Padres National Forests of Southern California are required to purchase an Adventure Pass and display it on their vehicle when parked in the Forest.

From the NYT.
On a sweltering afternoon on Staten Island, the New York City parks department unveiled its latest weapon in the war on phragmites, an invasive weed that chokes the shoreline: goats. Twenty Anglo-Nubians, to be exact. With names like Mozart, Haydn and Van Goat, and with floppy ears and plaintive bleats, they did not seem fearsome. But on Thursday they were already munching inexorably through the long pale leaves in the first phase of a wetland restoration at what will soon be Freshkills Park.
Van Goat with Mr. Cihanek, who has provided 20 of the animals.
Known for their unending, indiscriminate appetites, the goats are being rented by the city for the next six weeks from a farmer in the Hudson Valley. Parks officials are counting on the goats to clear the phragmites across two acres of wetlands that will eventually be cultivated with native grasses like spartina and black needle rush. The hope is that the goats will weaken the phragmites, setting the stage for another series of assaults on their stubborn rhizomes — applying herbicide, scarifying the earth and laying down sand.
In the short term, the goats are part of an unusual experiment to eradicate the pesky reeds, which were introduced from Europe in the late 19th century and which, once rooted, are almost impossible to eliminate. They have fueled brush fires across the region and pushed out other species along the East Coast.
But the farm animals are also being tested for their lawn-mowing prowess, especially at Freshkills Park, which is in transition from its former life as the world's largest landfill to its future one — as the largest park to be developed in New York City in more than a century.
"We want to introduce the idea of using goats to help in vegetation management," Eloise L. Hirsh, the administrator of the park, said. "The sanitation department mows us once a year. But this is 2,200 acres. We need help."
The goats are perhaps the most vivid example of the lengths to which the city is going to turn a symbol of environmental degradation into one of ecological redemption. As Freshkills Park is developed in phases over the next three decades, it will be a laboratory for green practices; there are plans for composting toilets, green roofs, rain gardens and a native seed farm.
The official opening of the park is two or three years off, though it is open periodically for tours. Three of the four giant mounds formed by garbage are now capped, and the parks department will soon solicit bids on the first stage of development — 21 acres with walking paths and a bird observation tower overlooking the wetlands. Already, the landscape looks impossibly bucolic, with dragonflies and swallows darting amid lanky grasses and the occasional tree.
The goats only add to the pastoral image. On Thursday, Beethoven, with long white ears and a black body, and Van Goat, sporting a black stripe down his chestnut back, were contentedly exploring their new territory, plunging their mouths into dense stands of phragmites. Others trotted down to the shore of Main Creek, a tributary of the Fresh Kill. (In yet another act of environmental rectitude, parks workers will soon arrange logs made of coconut fiber along the banks to attract mussels, which prevent erosion.)
"The first test was to see if they would eat the phragmites, and they're eating it, so they passed," said Terry Doss, an ecologist with Biohabitats, a company specializing in ecological restoration that is advising the parks department.
The city received a grant of $350,000 from the state for the wetlands project. (The cost of renting the goats from Larry Cihanek of Rhinebeck, N.Y., is $20,625 for the six weeks.) If the goats prove successful, Freshkills Park may one day have a permanent herd. "It's exciting to be able to replace what would be a carbon-polluting mowing strategy with a more natural approach," said Andrew Deer, a landscape architect for the parks department.
While goats have been deployed for phragmite duty elsewhere, some ecologists are skeptical.
"I'm not a big fan of goats," said Bernd Blossey, an associate professor of natural resources at Cornell University. "I understand why people are desperate to try them. But they will eat the leaves but not the stems, and they also don't like getting their hooves wet."
Professor Blossey is experimenting with moth caterpillars, which can weaken phragmites. In the 1990s, he was successful in unleashing leaf beetles against another plant invader, purple loosestrife, which is not nearly the scourge it once was.
But as the goats made their debut this week at Freshkills Park, any such doubts were pushed to the background. Ms. Hirsh was already looking ahead to a day when goats not only keep phragmites in check, but also put Staten Island on the artisanal food map. "We would like to have a cheese manufacturer here," she said. "I know there will be lots of skepticism. But it would be a pretty eloquent statement about how you really can restore land that was formerly very damaged."
The MPNA is an advocacy group for adjacent neighbors of the Mohonk Preserve. In the event of a dispute with the Mohonk Preserve, we can offer assistance in obtaining experts in the following areas; Surveying, Lawyers, Title, expert witnesses, ancient document research, and Maps.

If you are a raider you should already know when I big spike of damage is about to happen, so being pro active and knowing the mechanics of the fight really assist in the decision making of a popping a cooldown. I usually do it when I know that heals aren't sufficient or I'm anticipating a really big spike of damage. All in all, its simply anticipating the mechanics of an encounter and knowing the calibur of healer that you have; even then its hard to gauge that.
Good Luck!

Comments about OTIS AND MACLAIN OTIS & MACLAIN AMANDA DRESS:
First off, the dress is a lot more red than it looks in the picutre. that is nothing bad, but just something to note. This dress has great fabric and is soft and breathable but it is also nothing too special. I do think that the skirt cut is a little odd with the longer length in the middle of the skirt and the shorter sides. for some reason it reminds me a little of a loin cloth. but it is a pretty dress. I think it would look awesome paired with a brown waist belt.
