At its best, boxing is a balletic display of mental and athletic prowess. But who needs that when there's a bunch of has-been trash-talkers whose royalties ran out in '96 who are willing to get the crapola beaten out of themselves on national television? As evidence of this truth, we turn to Miramar bike-shop owner and former pompadoured pop-rapper Vanilla Ice. 'Nilla just couldn't quite slide across the ring fast enough to avoid the right hooks, roundhouses, and jabs of Todd Bridges, who played Willis on '80s sitcom Diff'rent Strokes. The celebrity match -- also featuring putative Clinton harassee Paula Jones versus Olympic redneck Tonya Harding and Partridge Family vet Danny Bonaduce versus Greg from The Brady Bunch -- was sure entertaining. But we have a suggestion for next time: Vanilla's old-school Aqua-Netted 'do against Paula Jones's fake, uh, fingernails.

About M. Jean-Paul Krebs
Les Remparts de Riquewihr (Ramparts of Riquewihr) is a small family business created and run by a couple of tourism professionals - Martine and Jean-Paul - having many years of experience in airline business and travels.
M. Jean-Paul Krebs purchased this apartment in 2006
Why M. Jean-Paul Krebs chose Riquewihr
Our vacation rentals are a very special combination of authentic national heritage character and modern amenities.
What makes this apartment unique
We think that - especially for a rather long stay (most of our guests are discovering the slow travel concept and are staying 7 nights and more) - it is not enough to sleep well during the night but it is necessary to enjoy the stay in a place which is somehow of the same level as the historical surroundings, the landscape, the mountain and the vineyards: beautiful. We put a lot of effort and care in the renovation and decoration of our vacation rental apartments because we want our holiday homes to be a memorable part of your travel experience to Alsace and France.

The King Of Pop has allegedly been receiving antibiotics via an intravenous drip in a bid to beat the bug, which sources claim has spread throughout his body. The singer was recently pictured leaving a Beverly Hills, California clinic after a regular check-up – and revealed painfully-inflamed skin on his face and hands. Continue »

MJ has a new super-stan…unfortunately, it ain't any of us. Poor thang:
MICHAEL JACKSON was only interested in splashing his cash on one artist at a Hollywood store – himself.
Though the singer really needs to try harder if he wants to remain anonymous in public.
His bizarre bee keeper-style head arrangement failed to mask his unmistakable face as he lifted Michael Jackson box set Visionary: The Complete Singles Collection off the rack.
We gotta help him, y'all. But, if that consists of touching him, count us out.

The King of Pop has got a new crib to lay his disgusting head for the time being:
While there may not be an amusement park or a full zoo in the yard, Michael Jackson has found a new mansion to call home – for a year, at least. The King of Pop has signed a $100,000 per month, yearlong lease on a mansion in the ritzy L.A. neighborhood of Bel Air.
The 50-year-old singer, who's been battling many legal problems lately and had to sell his iconic Neverland Ranch, has been in the seven bedroom, 13 bathroom house with his three children for a month, and reportedly initiated the move to stay close to the entertainment industry.
His spokesman, Tohme Tohme, calls the property "a little bit more than an average home," according to the Associated Press, and says Michael promises that the second half of his career "will be better than the first."
$100,000 a month? If you find it hard to see how renting vs. buying is silly, it's only right that a fella who owns a pet monkey provides an example. Thanks, MJ.

Akon continues to ride Mike's nut sack. Dig what he says to People Magazine this time:
What surprised you the most about him?
Akon: How humble and how smart he was. Sometimes you get a certain perception from how the media portrays him, but [working with him] was completely opposite. An artist of that caliber and as big as he is, you would think he would have certain qualities that you probably wouldn't like, such as being very arrogant or stuck up. With him, it was like he had never put out a record before – he still had that hunger.
Damn. We get it already, you like Mike. But we still can't quite digest that 'smart' piece. It really don't really seem like Mike got too much goin' by way of intellect these days.

MJ has settled his dispute with a Bahraini prince over millions:
Pop star Michael Jackson has settled a Bahraini prince's lawsuit accusing him of failing to honor a business deal worth $7 million.
"Sheikh Abdullah and Michael Jackson are pleased to confirm that they have amicably settled their dispute which was in litigation before the High Court in London. They wish each other well in their own, respective endeavors," the two sides' legal teams said in a joint statement Monday.
Details of the settlement will remain secret, lawyers for the sheikh said, adding that confidentiality was one of the conditions of the agreement.
The multi-millionaire Bahraini royal had claimed he bailed Jackson out of a financial hole following the singer's expensive acquittal on child molestation charges in 2005, paying the $2.2 million dollar legal fees and hosting him in his home in Bahrain.
The sheikh accused Jackson of reneging on a contract for a new album and an autobiography — a deal that he says included a $7 million advance.
According to The Associated Press, the 33-year-old said the pair even moved into the same palace in the Gulf state to work on music together. But Jackson dropped the project in 2006, leaving Bahrain and pulling out of the contract.
Jackson's lawyers maintained the money was a gift and argued that the musician wasn't bound by the deal because the contract was signed on behalf of 2 Seas Records, a venture which never got off the ground, AP said.
This little transparent nicca is never going to grow up, trying to pull a stunt like this. MJ could have gotten his entire nose pulled off for f*cking around with homeboy's stacks like that. SMH

Rumor has it that Mr. Thriller here has converted to Islam, and to us that sounds suspect as hell:
MICHAEL JACKSON has become a Muslim – and changed his name to Mikaeel. The skint superstar, 50, donned Islamic garb to pledge allegiance to the Koran in a ceremony at a pal's mansion in Los Angeles, The Sun can reveal. Jacko sat on the floor wearing a tiny hat after an Imam was summoned to officiate – days before the singer is due to appear at London's High Court where he is being sued by an Arab sheik. A source told last night how Jacko, brought up as a Jehovah's Witness, decided to convert as he used a studio at the home of his chum to record a new album. The star – whose hits include The Way You Make Me Feel – was spotted looking "a bit down" by a producer and a songwriter who had both embraced Islam.
Mike says he can't fly overseas to deal with that lawsuit and that is why he was looking down. Either that, or the fact that the little boys he is always hunting require him to look down, if you get what we mean.

Sharon Stone's home that she never moved into has been on the market for more than two years.
Being unable to sell your home for more than two years must be a frustrating experience, but Sharon Stone is likely feeling more than frustrated. The Beverly Hills home she bought in 2006 has been on the market since 2009, but she never even moved into the house, which is listed at $8.995 million - $2 million less than the original asking price.
The gated, walled compound is home to a Mediterranean estate that sits on 5 acres at the end of a private road. The land features pathways over bridges and waterfalls, fruit trees, a meditation garden and a tennis court.
The main building has a large formal dining room, over-sized living room with wet bar, fireplace, chef's kitchen, and a paneled library that has built-in shelves and a fireplace. The master suite has a fireplace, large terrace, dual baths and walk-in dressing rooms.
Three bedroom suites can be found upstairs, and another is located in the basement. The estate's separate guest house has a state-of-the-art media room, gym and two bedrooms.
Beverly Hills may see more moving trucks in coming months, as real estate prices in the area are falling. According to Trulia, the average listing price is $4.4 million while the median sales price is $1.19 million - down 14.7 percent from 2010.

Cincinnati Reds Rumors
Minor Moves: Lannan, Cisnero, Savery, Laffey, Britton, Triunfel
Here are today's minor moves from around the league.
- The Reds have signed right-handed reliever Jose Cisnero, tweets Chris Cotillo of SB Nation. Cisnero is entering his age 26 season and has a 4.66 ERA, 8.57 K/9, and 4.84 BB/9 in 48 and one-third career innings – all with the Astros. Cisnero was outrighted by Houston earlier in the month and has inked a minor league deal with Cincinnati.
- In the same tweet, Cotillo also reports four other minor league signings. The Mariners re-signed Burt Reynolds, the White Sox inked left-handed reliever Joe Savery, and the Rockies signed right-hander Brett Marshall and left-hander Aaron Laffey. Of the four, Laffey comes with the most major league experience – 487 innings of 4.45 ERA ball. The soft-tossing lefty's last extended stint in the majors was in 2012. Marshall had a 12 inning cup of tea with the Yankees in 2013 but struggled to a 6.53 ERA with the Reds Triple-A affiliate this season. Savery, a former first round pick, has seen spot work in parts of four seasons. The Phillies tried to use him as a lefty specialist, but he's actually posted reverse platoon splits.
- The Rockies have also signed pitchers Justin Miller, Jose Ortega, and John Lannan, tweets Matt Eddy of Baseball America. Right-handers Miller and Ortega saw minimal work for the Tigers, where they have posted uninspiring numbers. Lannan is a major league veteran of eight seasons, although he hasn't seen a full season of action since 2011. He has a 4.18 ERA, 4.70 K/9, and 3.39 BB/9 in 862 career innings.
- The Dodgers have signed infielder Buck Britton to a minor league deal, Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun tweets. Britton, the brother of Orioles reliever Zach, had spent the previous seven years in Baltimore's system. Last season, the 28-year-old hit .289/.345/.453 in 505 plate appearances split between Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk, primarily playing second base and third base.
- The Giants have signed infielder Carlos Triunfel and lefty Braulio Lara to minor-league deals, Baseball America's Matt Eddy tweets. Triunfel hit just .223/.256/.330 for hitter-friendly Triple-A Albuquerque in 2014, mostly playing the two middle infield positions. The Dodgers outrighted him in September. The 25-year-old Lara posted a 5.77 ERA with 8.9 K/9 and 4.8 BB/9 in 57 2/3 innings of relief in a 2014 season spent in the upper minors of the Rays' system.

Central Notes: Swisher, Hunter, Reds, Blanco
Nick Swisher's contract with the Indians now fits on a long list of contracts teams would love to unload, Terry Pluto of the Plain Dealer writes. Swisher hasn't been productive in his contract so far and he has two years and $30MM left, plus a vesting option for 2017. Pluto guesses that Swisher will end up back in Cleveland in 2015 despite recent trade rumors. Here are more notes from the Central divisions.
- GM Walt Jocketty says the Reds "aren't really close" on any significant moves, the Enquirer's John Fay reports. Jocketty also would not confirm whether the club has interest in free agent outfielder Torii Hunter, the way he did with Nori Aoki and Michael Morse. "I don't want to got into that," says Jocketty. "When I talked about Aoki, I got hounded by the media. Let's put this way: We're talking to a lot of agents, and (Hunter) is a pretty good player." The Blue Jays, Royals, Twins and other teams have recently been connected to Hunter.
- The Cubs have hired Henry Blanco away from the Diamondbacks, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic tweets. Blanco will serve as the quality assurance coach under new manager Joe Maddon. Blanco, of course, was a catcher for the Cubs from 2005 through 2008. He joined with the Diamondbacks after retiring as a player prior to the 2014 season.

Minor Moves: Satin, Kensing, Romak, Orioles, Billings, Avery
Here are today's minor moves from around the league…
- A number of additional minor league signings have been reported on the MLB.com transactions page. Among the more notable moves: The Reds added first baseman Josh Satin along with second baseman Ivan De Jesus. Righty Logan Kensing and shortstop Juan Diaz have agreed to terms with the White Sox. And five catchers are off the board: Griff Erickson (Padres), Koyie Hill (Phillies), Sebastian Valle and Miguel Perez (Pirates), and Guillermo Quiroz (Giants).
- Other signings, via MLB.com: righty Caleb Clay and outfielder Nick Buss (Diamondbacks); lefties Ryan Verdugo and Jim Fuller (Athletics); third baseman Jefry Marte (Tigers); righty Daniel Turpen, third baseman Heiker Meneses, and shortstop Argenis Diaz (Twins); righty Bryce Stowell and first baseman Allan Dykstra (Rays); first baseman Travis Mattair and righties Justin Jackson, Jairo Heredia, and Jake Brigham (Braves); outfielder Javier Herrera (Giants); righty Leuris Gomez (Rockies); righty Michael Lee (Blue Jays); third baseman Jonathan Galvez (Yankees); righty Paul Clemens (Phillies).
Earlier Updates
- The D'Backs have agreed to terms on a minor league deal and a Spring Training invite with infielder/outfielder Jamie Romak, MLBTR's Tim Dierkes tweeted today. The 29-year-old Romak, a client of Taurus Sports' David Sloane, made his big league debut with the Dodgers in 2014 and collected his first hit in the Majors. The former fourth-rounder is a lifetime .258/.324/.474 hitter at Triple-A.
- The Orioles announced the signings of infielder Paul Janish, right-hander Terry Doyle and outfielder Quincy Latimore to minor league contracts and invitations to big league Spring Training. SB Nation's Chris Cotillo was the first to tweet Janish's agreement, and Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com had previously reported that the team was working on a deal with him. Janish is the only one of the bunch that comes with MLB experience; the 32-year-old defensive specialist is a career .214/.284/.288 hitter in 1206 plate appearances between the Reds and Braves.
- The Nationals announced that they have signed right-hander Bruce Billings to a minor league contract with an invite to Major League Spring Training. The 29-year-old Billings pitched four innings for the Yankees last season and split the season between the Yankees and Dodgers organizations. Overall, the veteran posted a 5.27 ERA with 6. K/9 and 3.3 BB/9 in 95 2/3 innings.
- Outfielder Xavier Avery has inked a minor league deal with the Tigers and will receive a Spring Training invite as well, tweets SB Nation's Chris Cotillo. The 24-year-old Avery spent last season with the Mariners after being acquired from the Orioles in the 2013 Mike Morse trade. Avery hit .275/.344/.413 with 10 homers and 31 steals, appearing at all three outfield spots for Seattle's Triple-A affiliate in 2014.

Reds Listening On Jay Bruce; Padres Have Shown Interest
FRIDAY: In response to the report that Bruce rejected the Reds' extension offers, agent Matt Sosnick went on the record with ESPN's Jerry Crasnick to offer the following statement:
"It is true that the Reds made Jay two offers during the season. The fact the deal didn't get done had nothing to do with Jay's desire to remain a Red for life, which is still the case. It was more about his desire to make sure that contract talks didn't become a distraction during the season. But Jay still greatly appreciated the offers."
THURSDAY: The Reds have long been known to be open to dealing a starter this winter — Johnny Cueto, Mike Leake, Mat Latos and Alfredo Simon are all free agents following the 2015 season — but Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that they're also open to moving other high-priced players. According to Rosenthal, the Reds are listening to offers for Jay Bruce and have had preliminary trade discussions with other clubs, including the Padres.
Rosenthal's sources indicate that the Reds made a pair of extension offers to Bruce prior to the 2014 season, but Bruce rejected each scenario. Bruce, of course, went on to have his worst season in 2014, due largely to an early injury that required knee surgery. Bruce missed just 15 days following the operation and never felt right after that, GM Walt Jocketty admits. The two-time All-Star and Silver Slugger winner batted just .217/.281/.373 with a career-low 18 home runs this year.
The Reds certainly aren't committed to moving Bruce, Rosenthal notes, adding that owner Bob Castellini's preference is likely to try to win in 2015. Adding a left fielder and receiving full, healthy seasons from Bruce, Joey Votto, Homer Bailey and Brandon Phillips could go a long way toward that end, but the Reds do have somewhat of a payroll crunch on their hands that could limit their flexibility this offseason if they don't trade at least one significant salary away.
Though Bruce struggled in 2014 following his operation, he's been a force at the plate throughout his career. The 27-year-old batted .262/.337/.489 and averaged 30 homers from 2010-13. He's owed $12MM in 2015, $12.5MM in 2016 and has a $13MM club option with a $1MM buyout for the 2017 season. His $51MM extension contains a limited no-trade clause that allows him to block deals to eight clubs, as shown on Cot's Contracts. Clearly, the Reds wouldn't move Bruce simply to save cash and would be looking for a significant return in terms of prospects and/or young, MLB-ready talent in a potential deal.

Players Added To The 40-Man Roster
Midnight EST is the deadline for teams to add players to their 40-man roster in order to protect them from being selected in next month's Rule 5 Draft. Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com lists the notable prospects who are newly Rule 5 eligible. Of course, the decision whether or not to protect a player has as much to do with roster flexibility and his expected ability to stick on a big league roster for a full season as it does the player's overall prospect value.
We'll keep tabs on the day's 40-man additions here, and you can also check Baseball America's running updates, which includes breakdowns of the players added.
- The Rays have yet to announce their full list of roster moves, but Baseball America's J.J. Cooper tweets that second baseman Ryan Brett will be added to the 40-man.
- Following their trade with the Dodgers, the Rays announced that they have added Brett (as Cooper tweeted), right-hander Matt Andriese, left-hander Grayson Garvin, outfielder Mikie Mahtook and catcher Justin O'Conner to the 40-man roster.
- The Dodgers announced that lefty Adam Liberatore, acquired in the trade with the Rays, has been added to the 40-man roster.
Earlier Updates
- The Astros have made one final 40-man roster move, announcing the addition of right-hander Michael Feliz. Baseball America's J.J. Cooper was among those to express surprise that Feliz had not previously been added to the roster, with some executives telling him they'd be shocked if Feliz wasn't the No. 1 pick in the Rule 5 Draft (Twitter link).
- The Rangers announced that they've added righties Luke Jackson and Jerad Eickhoff, infielder Hanser Alberto and catcher Jorge Alfaro to the 40-man roster.

Reds Release Carlos Marmol
The Reds have released right-hander Carlos Marmol, Baseball America's Matt Eddy reports. Cincinnati signed Marmol to a minor league deal in May, though he was placed on the restricted list just a few weeks later after he left the team without permission. Paul Kinzer, Marmol's agent, said his client needed a "mental break" and left to address some personal issues at home in the Dominican Republic.
Marmol, 32, posted an 8.10 ERA, 14 strikeouts and 10 walks over 13 1/3 IP for the Marlins last season before he was released and subsequently signed with the Reds. Once one of baseball's top relief arms, Marmol's career-long control problems grew completely untenable in recent years (a 7.3 BB/9 since the start of the 2012 season) though he was still able to miss bats, as evidenced by his 11.1 K/9 in that same stretch. Over a nine-year MLB career with the Cubs, Dodgers and Marlins, Marmol has a 3.57 ERA, 11.6 K/9 and 6.2 BB/9 over 577 innings.

NL Central Links: Burnett, Hammel, Hoyer, Cueto
The Pirates had the inside track on signing A.J. Burnett, as agent Derek Braunecker told Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "It's the only place he wanted to play in 2015. He instructed me to negotiate exclusively with the Pirates and thankfully there was mutual interest," Braunecker said. Burnett enjoyed his previous stint in Pittsburgh and rejoined the Bucs on a one-year, $8.5MM deal. Here's some more from around the NL Central…
- Mutual interest exists between the Cubs and free agent righty Jason Hammel, CSN Chicago's Patrick Mooney reports. Hammel pitched well during his three months as a Cub in 2014 prior to being traded to the A's, and Mooney points out yet another connection between the two sides — Hammel played under Joe Maddon in Tampa in 2008. At least nine teams and as many as 12 teams have reportedly shown interest in Hammel this offseason, including the Astros and Yankees.
- The Cubs' trade for Tommy La Stella "wasn't a precursor to anything," GM Jed Hoyer told reporters (including ESPN Chicago's Jesse Rogers). "Sometimes you have to acquire guys that can get on-base. It's something we needed." The La Stella deal seemed curious given how the Cubs already have a surplus of young middle infielders, though Hoyer said his team had tried to trade for La Stella "several times in the past."
- It's an open question as to whether or not the Reds will sign Johnny Cueto to a new contract, though an extension shouldn't be ruled out on purely financial reasons, John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer opines. Though Fay thinks extending Cueto would cost "probably north of $150MM," the Reds will be seeing a revenue increase over the next few years thanks to a new TV deal. If Cueto will take a back-loaded deal, that would lessen the burden on the Reds' payroll until Brandon Phillips' contract is off the books following the 2017 campaign.
- Fay thinks there is a "close to zero" chance that the Reds would trade Cueto this winter, since "owner Bob Castellini is not going to have a fire sale. Period. He thinks this team can win and he wants to win badly." While Cincinnati seems likely to deal a starting pitcher this offseason, recent rumors suggest that Cueto will stay put.
- The Cardinals should jump at the chance to acquire a power-hitting outfielder and not worry about blocking their young OF prospects, Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch opines. Miklasz feels the Cardinals have some long-term questions in their outfield since Jon Jay is "a year-to-year" player who almost lost his job last offseason, right field prospects Stephen Piscotty and Randal Grichuk are unproven and veteran Matt Holliday is only under contract for two more seasons.

Central Links: Reds, Cubs, Avila, Tigers, Tomas, Butler
Reds GM Walt Jocketty is of the mindset that his team will need to either be "all in" or "all out" in 2015, reports Joel Sherman of the New York Post. In other words, if the Reds decide to trade one of four starters who is eligible for free agency following the 2015 season — Johnny Cueto, Mat Latos, Mike Leake, and Alfredo Simon — others may very well follow. Sherman lists Jay Bruce and Aroldis Chapman as names to watch if Cincinnati does elect to go into a full rebuild. Both can be free agents after 2016, though the Reds have a club option on Bruce for the 2017 season.
Here's more from the game's Central divisions…
- Sherman also tweets that the Cubs aren't likely to spend big on a closer this winter, which seemingly eliminates a potential suitor for David Robertson. Earlier today, reports indicated that Robertson is seeking a contract comparable to Jonathan Papelbon's four-year, $50MM contract.
- The Tigers are willing to listen to offers on Alex Avila, tweets the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo. Avila has a $5.4MM club option for his final arb year and was projected by MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz to earn the same amount in arbitration. Cafardo notes that the Braves and Red Sox are both looking for left-handed bats. While both have inexperienced catchers (Christian Bethancourt and Christian Vasquez, respectively), adding Avila would limit each team's ability to get an extended look at how their young backstop handles a full workload.
- John Manuel of Baseball America tweets that the Tigers' defense up the middle in 2015 could be special with Jose Iglesias and the newly acquired Anthony Gose. He also notes that Devon Travis, who went to the Blue Jays in the deal, now has a clear shot to Major League playing time that he may not have had in Detroit.
- The Royals could scout Yasmany Tomas in the Dominican Republic next week, reports Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star. Royals officials will be in the Dominican Republic on other business anyway and met with Tomas' agent, Jay Alou, earlier this week at the GM Meetings. The team's payroll could surpass the $100MM mark for the first time next season, and there's perhaps room for one significant expenditure such as Tomas, Ervin Santana or Melky Cabrera, McCullough writes.
- Billy Butler is receiving interest from a number of clubs — even one National League club — tweets Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The interest in Butler likely means that a return to the Royals isn't the best fit, he adds. McCullough reported Tuesday that K.C. doesn't seem inclined to go beyond two years to retain Butler.
- Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel wonders if the Brewers will consider trading a starting pitcher (Twitter link). The Brew Crew needs some payroll flexibility, and the Braves are one team that has been poking around at the GM Meetings.

Kevin Towers To Join Reds' Front Office
NOVEMBER 12: Towers has officially signed on with Cincinnati, tweets Bob Nightengale of USA Today. His title is not yet decided upon.
OCTOBER 24: Former Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers is expected to join the Reds' front office to work with close friend Walt Jocketty in the near future, sources tell ESPN's Buster Olney (Twitter link).
The 52-year-old Towers was removed from the role of GM in Arizona and offered a different position within the organization last month, but Towers declined the opportunity in order to seek a different role with another organization. Former player agent and assistant general manager Dave Stewart was named as Towers' successor, with De Jon Watson jumping from the Dodgers to the D'Backs to serve as senior vice president of baseball operations.
Towers has previously served as general manager of the Padres as well, where he was one of the game's longest-tenured GMs, occupying that role from 1995 through 2009. Between GM gigs, Towers worked as a special assignment scout in the Yankees front office. He's known to have a strong scouting background and is described by some as having an old-school approach to the game.
Late last month, Yahoo's Jeff Passan reported that there were changes coming to Cincinnati's front office, as assistant GM Bob Miller left the organization, though that split was said to be amicable in nature. A change at the top of the hierarchy doesn't seem likely in the near future, as Jocketty himself inked a two-year extension in September that runs through the 2016 season.

NL Central Notes: Zimmermann, Cards, Miller
A rumored deal of Jordan Zimmermann to the Cubs is reportedly not happening, which makes sense to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal since such a trade wouldn't really be a fit for either the Cubs or the Nationals. The Cubs are likely to address their pitching need by either signing a top free agent arm or trading one of their infield prospects for a controllable younger arm. Dealing for Zimmermann would the Cubs to both give up prospects and spend big, Rosenthal notes, since Chicago would obviously want to sign the righty to a long-term extension.
Here's some more from around the NL Central…
- The Cardinals are wary of making commitments that will result in future roadblocks to upcoming younger players, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. GM John Mozeliak notes that the team feels it could be "exposed" at first base or the corner outfield if it does not get the performances it hopes for, and is interested in left-handed relief help and a utility infielder.
- In fact, the Cardinals met with representatives for Andrew Miller on Tuesday, Goold tweets. The meeting was characterized as exploratory in nature, though the fit is obvious.
- Both the Cardinals and Reds had interest in Michael Cuddyer before he signed with the Mets, Goold reports in a separate piece.
- Though the Reds are interested in Nori Aoki and Michael Morse, that is not an exclusive list, GM Walt Jocketty tells C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer (Twitter link). The club's top priority is adding offense, and it is considering trade scenarios in addition to looking at the free agent market.

Open wide, 'Friends': Facebook wants to give you a 'Privacy checkup'
Facebook has taken the highly unusual step of changing its privacy settings to make them easier to understand and alter. Current users will, in coming weeks, be offered what The Social NetworkTM is calling "a new and expanded privacy checkup tool" that will "take people through a few steps to review things like who they're …
As long as facebook is getting the data, they don't give a fuck. Have some controls, peasants. It's adorable that you try and control your own data by pressing the buttons we allow you to have.
Not playing is the only way to win. And you probably won't win anyway because other people will feed data in on your behalf.
Word of the wise
>And you probably won't win anyway because other people will feed data in on your behalf.
Choose your friends carefully.
Re: Word of the wise
"Choose your friends carefully."
And your family?
Even saying "choose your friends carefully" is a bit silly - many of us had friends* long before FaceBook was around, so it's a bit late to choose them.
* Well, other people, anyway
Re: Word of the wise
"many of us had friends* long before FaceBook was around, so it's a bit late to choose them.
The kinds of people that would eventually progress to using FB were never the kinds of Friends I wanted to have..
Re: Word of the wise
"The kinds of people that would eventually progress to using FB were never the kinds of Friends I wanted to have.."
I don't know about you, but I made my first friends at school a long time before I had any idea that the future would bring an internet, websites, and social media.
Sure there's a negative perspective to put on this...
But at least with more control and easier interface, it's "only" facebook you have to worry about (and probably some - if not all of the - apps/games).
So kudos for doing something in the right direction.
Only Facebook plus the people they sell your data onto.
"Facebook taken step of changing privacy settings to make them easier to understand"
Meantime, for existing members we'll helpfully reset everything back to 'Public' for you... Well, Fuck u Zuck!
Old sayings
Anyone else heard the phrase
"A stranger is just a Friend you haven't met yet"
Just wait...
Just wait until people realise that this is just a ploy to get users to weed out
all the crap so FaceCrook can get a clearer picture of their users and their
connections to other people and their interests...
Whats facebook?
"Previously, for most people, it was set to Public"
So when I joined the default was I believe "Friends of Friends"... Then Facebook decided unilaterally to change loads of things to being Public (Oi! No!!)... Think this was around the time there were discussions about partnering with search engines...
Soon after that the new (current) privacy model came in "because the options were confusing" IIRC along with easily changing visibility on a post by post basis... Not sure if that was even possible before...
Of course I thought the original privacy options actually were clear enough, though every so often you felt you needed to check every couple of weeks in case FB changed your settings for you...
Ho hum...

Asiana says it was pilot's first landing of a Boeing 777 at SFOJuly 7, 2013 @ 6:52 pm (Updated: 8:57 am - 7/8/13 )
Asiana Airlines says the pilot in charge of landing the Boeing 777 that crash-landed was making his first landing of that type of jet at San Francisco's airport.
Two passengers were killed in the crash landing of Asiana Airlines Flight 214, and dozens of the 307 passengers were injured Saturday.
"It was Lee Kang-kook's maiden flight to the airport with the jet. He was in training. Even a veteran gets training," a spokeswoman for Asiana Airlines told Reuters.
The pilot "has a lot of experience" and had previously flown a Boeing 747 to San Francisco's airport.
The airline says Lee, who started his career at Asiana as an intern in 1994, has 9,793 hours of flying experience, but only 43 hours with the Boeing 777 jet.
His co-pilot was Lee Jeong-min, who has 3,220 hours of flying experience with the Boeing 777 and a total of 12,387 hours of flying experience.
National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Deborah Hersman says it's too early to say whether pilot error or mechanical failure was to blame.
The airline said within hours of the crash that they believed there was "nothing wrong" with the 777-200. Boeing isn't commenting as the investigators continue to gather more details about what went wrong.
The NTSB reports the pilot of the Asiana Airlines flight requested a "go around" 1.5 seconds before the crash.
Aviation experts say when the pilot is instructed or decides to "go around," the pilot applies full power to the engines.
Boeing and Airbus jets use fly-by-wire systems with go-around modes that automatically set maximum available power and pitch for that maneuver.
Hersman says the "black box" audio recorder indicates the pilots did not discuss any aircraft anomalies as they approached the runway in San Francisco.

"A story that you normal never will hear."
Great story about the navy seals and their deployment in Iraq.
This story gives not only a vivid peek in to the military live & private live of an navy seal but gives also a realistic view of the fanatic violence that is in this region what mainly is driven by fanaticism in the middle east.
"Incredible look inside a soldier's life."
Yes, especially to those who think soldiers are brutal baby killers. This book gave me a new look into the life of a solider during war. Chris Kyle gives a detailed look into his experiences not just overseas, but what he goes through when he comes back stateside and needs to "all of sudden" transition back into a civilian lifestyle. This is definitely a book every American should read/listen to especially to those that don't have a family history of military service.
This type of book is hard to really have a favorite scene or passage for me as it flows so well that it all seems like one big scene. While there are chapters, Chris does a great job explaining his experiences and telling it in a way that seems so natural.
It was tough when Chris would give his wife's perspective. This really brought home the tug-of-war that is really tough for families where one of the partners is serving overseas and leaves the other back home to take care of everything by themselves. When Chris shared the times where his wife was ready to give up due to Chris' extreme dedication to the SEALs over his dedication to his family is when you really start to understand there's more to being a soldier than just war. I cannot imagine how hard it must be knowing you've been trained to do a job (and know that you do it well) but also know that you have a family back home who relies on you and would rather have you home...but supports you for your service. That constant tug-of-war is something you never hear about in news reports. This book gives that side of war and military service and is some of the most intense parts of this book to read/listen to.
When I realized that this is book that mentioned the alleged altercation with Jesse Ventura, I started to have a different take on the author. Why would someone admit to assaulting such a highly recognizable figure like this? There actually is no mention to Jesse Ventura by name in the book but Chris Kyle has come out in public interviews after the release of the book and stated that it was Jesse Ventura he was making reference to. This just seems crazy.This has come down to a "your word against mine" situation and Jesse Ventura denies it ever happened. While I know Jesse Ventura has spoken out against the various wars recently, I cannot imagine a former Navy SEAL would say such things as Chris Kyle has claimed. There seems to be a current lawsuit regarding this between Jesse Ventura and Chris Kyle so it will be interesting to see who is telling the truth once a verdict comes down.
"A rather"
Call of Duty
As an European I found this story fascinating. A much more interesting story than that of Dakota Meyer, "Into the Fire".
"Campfire talk"
The author's style reminds me of sitting around a campfire and listening to a friend's war stories. They're good stories, with some level of detail, but they are certainly not objective nor highly informative. I found Marcus Luttrell's book a bit more engaging, and Mark Owen's recent book a better narrative--progressing logically from point to point, rather than just moving down a timeline of events. As a Texan, the book is reminiscent of storytellers I've known, and I found the book mostly enjoyable.
Narration was the weakest point of the audiobook. I have no idea whether the narrator is a native Texan, but the accent is overdone. The pace is sloth-like. Listening at 2x speed created a more natural pace, but the accent was distracting throughout.
Overall, I found this to be one of the weaker books from recent military veterans describing their experiences. There are good stories, but they seem to just be collections of good stories tied together by an arbitrary timeline--no central, unified theme stands out.
"it is a big book title but boring story telling"
no idea
killing, killing and killing, nothing but killing, no insights, boring
insights of the war
nothing, it is a book only
"A Great Listen!"
No Easy Day...similar story
The story as a whole will change the way you look at the sacrifices that members of the military make.
"Gives accurate view of War and Warriors"
Chris does not become tangled up in Command level decussions, gives you the ground level downrange story.
The story goes back and forth between Chris and his homefront wife whom deals with the stress of deployments, family life, the media bias and the death of team mates. Caused a discussion between my wife and I and her feeling of dealing with similar issues
I had never asked her about.
The Team holds mock court prior to Chris's wedding, the results were funny as hell.
Chris has a junior team member who becomes gravely injuried, but goes on to be an inspiration, what happenes next really makes you examine what you do with your life and limitations.
The ending is a little flat, but then after a life at the authors pace, everything else is not high-speed. Thanks to all those whom make peace a profession.
"A Killer Story"
This isn't my usual type of reading, but I like to learn from experts of all sorts and look into every corner of life and see how it works and this book delivered just what I expected from a pro telling his story. He really is a straight shooter, and writes that way (with help from the co-writer, I guess). No sugar coating, not propaganda, just very interesting reading (if you can stomach this sort of thing).
"A great autobiography"
This was a very enjoyable autobiography by a very talented sniper. A very interesting read.
"Very good book on the reality of being a sniper"
Enjoyed the book. Far more casual writing style than some of the other books on being a Sniper.

Snow White and the Huntsman reinvents the legendary story in a film of astonishing beauty and imagination.
Yes, there are many splendid reasons to see Snow White and the Huntsman – enough, maybe, not to care that neither Snow White nor the Huntsman rank high among them.
An evil spell nearly does Snow White in, but it's lifted in the nick of time. The strangest spell afflicts Kristen Stewart; she can't seem to imbue Snow White with anything more than a semblance of feeling. That spell never lifts, but it doesn't make much difference in the end because the forces of good manage to work around it.
A strong visual style tussles with flaccid storytelling in this ambitious retelling of Grimm. It won't exactly have Walt Disney spinning in his secret ice chamber, but you may wish they spent more time worrying about what exactly the film is than who it's for.
It's Theron who owns this film, imbuing her deliciously depraved Queen with furious pain and deep-seated fear.
I spent several minutes not caring what was happening with the story but just observing the patchwork illusion of oversized props, short stunt doubles and computer grafting of big faces on small bodies. Nice work.
Overlong, overcrowded, overstimulating and with an over-the-top performance by Charlize Theron as the evil queen Ravenna, the movie is a virtual orchard of toxic excess, starting with the unnecessarily sprawling cast of characters.

Jun 8, 2012I just saw this movie and I loved it!!!!! I was not a fan of Kristen Stewarts before but I have to admit I was completely wrong!!! She has a lot of acting talent and I was very impressed with her here.… Expand
Aug 19, 2012For once there, I was really thinking I was not watching an epic movie based on a fairy tale princess. For once, I started leading myself by maniacally fantastic tale of a twist-up with Snow White on it. 'Snow White and the Huntsman' is obviously, once again one of those movies users and audiences love, yet, critics detest. Snow White takes us on an inventive ride, that is not like the type of fairy-princess, bird-singing, but still, keeps faithful to it. Everything in the movie is very well made--especially the fighting sequences that reached in top mastery. The only thing that could be considered a little, little flaw is the acting of Kristen Stewart, who made an improvement to her disgusting acting in Twilight, but yet, it left fans expecting too much to ask. The movie overall was great and I really feel good by paying all the amount of many I invested to see it.… Expand
Jun 5, 2012This dark version of the classic tale stars Charlize Theron as the powerful and creepy queen. She gets her enduring power from the blood of beautiful women and Kristen Stewart is the most beautiful. A coarse hunter (Chris Hemsworth) is enlisted to do the dirty work. This is a visually sumptuous film that starts with ominous, potent storytelling. By the middle, the pacing bogs down with too much drama and romance, but it manages to work it's way back by the end. Theron is formidable, but Stewart is pretty flat. Despite the flaws, this film is full of rich and inventive imagery.… Expand
Jun 2, 2012Visually stunning but emotionally vacant, "Snow White and the Huntsman" is a feast for the eyes but a famine for the soul. There is very little here to care about. Those familiar with the Disney cartoon will have an idea of what's going to happen and the script offers very few surprises to liven the story. It takes quite a while to rev up after a fairly interesting beginning. The chase through the Dark Forest and an encounter with a village of scarred women and children seems to drag on for quite a long time. The two hour running time could easily have been trimmed by at least 15 minutes and increased the film's energy level. That might have made the well-worn story more interesting. As it is, the audience marvels at the costumes, landscapes and mythical creatures but wonders whether their might be something more interesting happening on the next screen of the multiplex. Theron, Hemsworth and yes, even Stewart do an excellent to adequate job in the acting department and the team of dwarfs steal every scene they're in; but the script is in dire need of one of Ravenna's rejuvenation spells.… Expand
Jun 12, 2012In all honesty this movie was a let down, though the strange plot may keep you watching and Kristen Stewart's well done change of roles leaving you stunned. You will without doubt notice the huge plot holes which ruin the whole movie experience. Most adults will notice these flaws, kids will without doubt miss them. Which means only kids can truly enjoy this movie, which is a shame seeing how dark it can be. All together I'd recommend it to the small minded.… Expand

I've had a Kolsch in primary for 2.5 weeks now. I checked the gravity and it is at 1.016...Down from 1.058...and a mere three clicks away from the "projected" final gravity. With almost every beer I have brewed in the past the krausen had long since fallen. This batch has a very thick yeasty/krausen layer all over the top. The high krausen has fallen as there is a line about 4 inches above where it is now.
The summary for this yeast calls is a "true top fermenting yeast." Am I seeing the remnants of the true top fermentation? Why would it differ from other ales which are also top fermenting? Has anyone exeperienced this before with this strain of yeast? I'm planning on leaving it another week or so to see if it finally falls the rest of the way, but appreciate any insight.
I have an issue with that occasionaly with other strains of yeast. It really is meaningless. If your FG is on target, rack it to your clarifier and go from there.
ill keep my money, guns, freedom, and religion......you can keep the change.
You like fishsticks, what are you, a gay fish?
i think when they talk about kolsch yeast being 'true top fermenting', they are referring to that yeast's ability to result in a lager-like beer, as lager yeast is a bottom fermenter. of course it's different from other ale yeasts, as they all are somewhat different, but this yeast is known for staying in suspension for a long time, so it's not surprising that the krausen is sticking around near FG. this beer will benefit from another week or so on primary and then consider a cold crash or secondary period with gelatin perhaps if you want it clear. it's gonna be a great beer though, i love kolsch.
Thanks for the responses. I will let the beer go another week and consider a secondary (although I hardly ever do with beer).
I was n Cologne Germany a month ago and really loved all the kolsch. I'm hoping to create something that is pretty close to an authentic Kolsch (though it will never be). Has anyone tried the AHS Kolsch? Any tried and true authentic recipes?
All the Kölsch houses lager their beers after fermentation is complete. In the Kölsch beers I have brewed, I found the beer mellowed and brightened significantly with prolonged cold conditioning. With both the ones I did, I lagered at 40º for 4 weeks.
I've never lagered anything. Does bottling, carbing, and then storing them in the fridge for 4 weeks have the same effect?
I've got the same thing happening right now with the same strain of yeast. The Kolsch has been in the Primary for almost 2 weeks with little sign of the krausen subsiding. The airlock is moving every 15 seconds or so. I've been fermenting at about 56 degrees. I wanted to rack this weekend, but may wait and see what happens. I don't intend on lagering this beer. Never tried before. I worry the yeast will drop out too much and not provide enough healthy yeast to bottle condition.

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the
government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense
of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson
just let it sit on that yeast cake for a while if you aren't planning to secondary... another week or two won't hurt it and will let some of the yeast begin to flocculate. i think if you prime/carb it and then let it sit in the fridge for a few weeks, you'll get a similar result to lagering. you could always lager and then add yeast when bottling, but i've had great success with kolsch with nothing more than a cold crash for a few days before kegging. and as always, the last pint is always the best/clearest.
I have a Kolsch and a Blonde I brewed with that yeast and they have both been in primary now for almost two weeks. Both are fermenting at 56F and they both have a very heavy krausen layer just as you are describing. I have the two setting side by side in glass carboys and the layers are identical.

"Offers a lively mouthfeel, with upfront notes of mineral and white pepper that are supported by zesty acidity. Candied ginger and melon flavors are firm and focused, with lithe honey and creamy accents that echo with citrusy elements."

It is a very nice Bowl and sports bar. Good value and lots of fun. Ok food (Hot dogs, pizza) and much more
Went to take my daughters there last week and the place has closed down. And with the large amount of mail piled up inside, it would appear that they are not coming back any time soon.
Has all mod cons - good fun and reasonably priced. Would recommend for a rainy day and if you want to get away from the heat.
Great bowling place with helpful staff.
Its well organised and they are used to English speaking Brits trying to communicate.
They have the childrens barrier guides on several lanes.
Parking is easy at La Canada and there are lots of food outlets.
