The Top 10 Credenzas
Designers Sara Story and Neal Beckstedt get the lowdown on these sleek cabinets that bring star power to more than just the dining room
By Laura Regensdorf
The Experts
Neal Beckstedt
Recently tapped to decorate the conservatory of the 2012 Kips Bay showhouse, this New York designer creates contemporary, casual-chic interiors for fashion-world insiders like Derek Lam. nbeckstedtstudio.com
Sara Story
The Manhattan decorator has brought her elegant, worldly style to homes from Texas to Singapore. She is at work on a line of Asianinspired wallpapers. sarastorydesign.com
In the homes of the well-to-do in Renaissance Italy, no dining room was complete without a credenza a sturdy sideboard with storage and a place to set dishes. In the mid-20th century, the piece had a renaissance of its own. The clean-lined, elongated new versions, such as Florence Knolls 1961 classic, proved to be as functional in the office or living area as they had been near the dinner table.
For decorator Sara Story, the credenza might call to mind a Mad Men set, but it plays an essential role in todays interiors. It offers great storage without taking over the room, she says. Its important to consider how a piece opens, she adds: In a tight spot, sliding doors are a plus.
Designer Neal Beckstedt finds that height is a key element: Taller cabinets work well in dining or bar areas, while low units can hold a TV. Credenzas are now more media driven, he says. But thanks to modern remote-control technology, he adds, much of the equipment can hide behind closed doors.

Having a bike that doesn't quite fit may compromise enjoyment every time you ride it. That's why John Weirath opened The Bicycle Studio, located in the Redlands, where he personally fits, designs and builds custom bikes for locals who want an edge.
Weirath, who began fitting bikes 11 years ago, said his interest in proper body placement came about naturally as part of his physical therapy career. He also works with Olsson Physical Therapy in Grand Junction.
"Everything's very specific," Weirath said of his fitting methods. "It's tuned to the rider. Everything's been tailored to them."
According to Weirath, designing a custom road or mountain bike starts with the geometry of the frame. He takes a variety of biker-specific measurements with a movement screening, a pedal evaluation, Retul Fit technology (software that breaks down specific body movements) and an interview.
Then, he sends his data to Seven Cycles, a custom-bike manufacturer in Watertown, Mass. Once bike measurements are translated into drawings, Seven Cycles sends it back to Weirath for a final OK before its manufactured. The bike is finally delivered in pieces to The Bicycle Studio, where Weirath builds and fits it personally.
The whole process can take up to 11 weeks, and it costs between $3,500 to $17,000 (depending on client specifications). Weirath does free follow-up fittings for one year after the building process.
"If it's not fit right, you're not going to ride it as much or with as much enjoyment," he said, noting that improper fits can also cause injury and pain.
Weirath additionally does fittings for pre-existing bikes, making tweaks to its set-up to promote proper body placement. A personalized bike fit is done by appointment, takes up to two hours, and costs $250.
Bicycle Studio clients are reasonably serious about the sport, Weirath added, and most of them fall into the 40-60 age range.
"They're people who ride a lot," he said. "Only 10 percent of my clients are racers, however."
When Weirath relocated to Grand Junction in 1997, his own athletic interests - specifically his heavy involvement in triathlons - pushed him to learn more about proper bike fit and its implications in competition. He began researching "what was out there in terms of bike fitting" and there wasn't much, he said. So, he started doing it himself - at first helping people out for free, then as an official side business starting in 2002. He's been working out of his current location on Power Road for two years.
"Having a P/T background allows me to use (specific) technology," Weirath said, also noting that only a handful of physical therapists in the U.S. are fitting and building bikes as he does in his GJ studio. "It started off as a hobby or a passion. I found a way to combine those things into a job."
Weirath additionally offers training and coaching services for runners, cyclists and triathletes.

Wireless Patient Monitoring Devices Solve Telecommunications Challenges
When care providers at Androscoggin Home Care & Hospice, the largest Home Care & Hospice agency in Maine, initially launched their telehealth program, they were quickly able to see positive results from utilizing Honeywell's Genesis family of remote patient monitoring devices to track the daily vital signs of patients and streamline patient-acquired data into one internet-accessible clinical dashboard.

In January of 2011, the St. Alexius Medical Center (SAMC) and the Great Plains Telehealth Resource and Assistance Center (gpTRAC) joined forces to evaluate the potential of a new telehealth program. Their goal was to determine whether they could improve access and care for their many patients with chronic conditions who live in rural areas. In order to determine its effectiveness, SAMC and gpTRAC worked together to develop research parameters by which to quantify the results of the program.
Two Roads To Mobile Workforce Management: Choosing Between On-Premises And Cloud Delivery Companies with mobile workforces face two important technology trends. One is the use of mobile workforce management solutions that can add critical support to business strategies. The other is the growth of cloud-based solutions as an alternative to traditional on-premises deployment. Combining the two through cloud-based mobile workforce management can make sense, depending on the specific circumstances and goals of a company. By taking into account the technical market drivers and strategic considerations, a company can decide whether a cloud or traditional onpremises solution is the best fit.

Chinese green teas are available in an almost infinite range of style and price. At the low end, refreshing and highly affordable teas can be found with surprising quality, and the top grades reflect thousands of years of refinement to what can only be considered an art form.

Thomas Warren, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Whether you buy a Christmas tree at the store, or cut one down yourself, keeping it healthy in your home during the holidays requires maintenance.
"You're going to cut about an inch off the stump, and you're going to immediately put into hot water, about 100-degree water," says Frank Gouin, horticulturist and former University of Maryland professor.
Gouin has grown, raised and maintained Christmas trees at his UpaKrik Farm in Deale, Md. for 18 years.
If a newly bought tree is not immediately brought inside to be set up, it's best to keep it outside, according to Gouin.
"That's because outside is cooler, and therefore it will lose less water," Gouin says.
Once the tree is brought inside, the key to the tree's longevity is a clean stand and clean water.
Gouin advises cutting the tree another inch before placing it in a stand, but he advises against feeding it aspirins.
"I've never saw a tree, and I've been working with trees for over 40 years, have a headache," Gouin says.
A material called Floralife, which is used to control bacteria in flowers, is another viable option to feed to the tree.
With the right treatment a tree could stay healthy another two weeks after Christmas.
Wreaths, Gouin says, should be placed in a tub of warm water, and left to sit overnight before being hung on the front door.

Colin Beavan: Advice From an Accidental Activist
So many of us have good ideas for helping the world. But we tuck our ideas away. I did. I'd tell myself that if the idea were any good someone else would have already done it. That I'm not capable of making a difference. I'd sit on my ideas, get on with my "life," and then feel angry at the world because the problems I cared about didn't get solved.
I had that fear of going first.
Then I took my first hapless step into what I call accidental activism. In 2006, I started a project where I lived as environmentally as possible for a year—with my little family, on the ninth floor of an apartment building in the middle of New York City—to attract attention to the world's environmental, economic, and quality of life crises.
I had no experience as an activist. Yet suddenly my project caught fire.
My book and film, both titled No Impact Man, ended up being translated into 20-plus languages. Some philanthropists appeared and offered me funding to hire consultants to get NoImpactProject.org off the ground. About 20,000 people have now participated in our educational immersion program, No Impact Week.
And how have I felt through all this?
Like a deer in the headlights.
How am I supposed to stand up to all this? Surely people can see how selfish and shortsighted I am? That I'm sometimes mean to my family? People like me aren't supposed to do things like this. We're supposed to wait for people who have their acts together, and follow them.
But if we wait for those people, we're done for.
There are a lot of people who know way more about activism and citizen engagement than me. I'm pretty ordinary. Frankly, I don't even always want to be of service. But I've now learned a lot about how to be an ordinary person, filled with self-doubt, who still takes the risk of trying to do something about the world. Maybe you're like me. And maybe the things that have helped me will help you, too.
Be Stupid Enough to Take The First Step
My first step was just to begin living with the lowest possible environmental impact. A few people said I was "too stupid to know that one person can't make a difference." Think on this story (with apologies for high schmaltz quotient):
Two frogs—one very smart and one very stupid—are caught in a bowl of cream. The sides are too steep to climb and they have no foothold to jump. The stupid one begins to swim as hard and fast as he can. The smart one looks over and says to himself, "He's too stupid to know that all that effort will make no difference."
Having weighed the hopelessness of the situation, the smart one decides that the most intelligent thing is to give up. So—Blub!—he drowns. The stupid one keeps trying. Just when his legs are about to give out the cream starts to get thicker. His struggling has churned the cream to butter. He's surprised to find himself on solid ground. He jumps out. By stupidly pursuing the first step (swimming), the second step (jumping out) appeared, as if by magic.
The question is not whether you can make a difference. The question is, do you want to be the person who tries? Do you want to be like the smart frog, who relies on the brain that tells him there is no solution, or the stupid frog, whose heart tells him to try anyway?
Maybe you care about food deserts and kids not having access to good food, or maybe it's incarceration of local youth, or maybe, like me, you worry about inaction on climate change. Whatever it is, pick up your placard or call your senator or gather your friends. Don't worry about the second step. Just be too stupid to know the first step won't work.
Use Your Personal Story to Inspire a Movement
Part of the reason one person can make a difference is that one person's efforts soon inspire other people's efforts. So inspire other people to get involved by sharing your personal story. Not just the story, say, of the hungry children in the Global South who you are trying to help, but your own story.
Food, energy, giving back,
and more: The winning
photos from January's
No Impact Week participants.
In No Impact Man, I share stories of how I tried to keep my food fresh without a refrigerator, how I had to eat mostly cabbage in the winter, and how I washed my laundry by hand. People didn't suddenly realize that they, too, should hand-wash their clothes. Instead, they learned, not that they should make a difference—which statistics and figures tell us—but that they can make a difference—which personal stories have the power to tell.
It is through the personal that people connect with the political.
No matter what your cause, look for the powerful, personal story about how you got involved and how being involved has improved your life in some way. I've heard it said we shouldn't have to tell these stories—that people should automatically care. The thing is, once they know, people do care. The problem is that they are often overwhelmed by it. So the job is not to shove information at them that makes them feel guilty for not doing something. The job is to give them a story that shows them how to do something.
Get Off the Internet and Into Real Life
Back in the '60s, a string of civil rights sit-ins began when four students from a black college in North Carolina sat down at a whites-only Woolworth lunch counter. In the end, about 70,000 students participated in sit-ins that spread across the state. As Malcolm Gladwell points out in a recent New Yorker article, the action didn't start with lots of Twitter followers. It started with lots of flesh-and-blood (as opposed to Facebook) friends.
The strong social bonds and long-standing mutual trust gave those first four students the bravery to stand up for themselves. Gladwell says that the strong ties of real friendship and community—not the weak ties of the virtual world—are necessary to make us feel supported enough to take meaningful risks for our values.
I ran a blog at NoImpactMan.com and many thousands of people came there to discuss their views on and methods of environmental living. It was a good thing. In the absence of real-life communities of shared environmental values, the blog provided a lot of people with some measure of community support. But the stronger, more action-oriented communities are formed in my work when people come together for our No Impact Weeks.
That means, we rely on support from our readers.

This is a very cute wig. It's a different style and color from what my regular hair is, so it's definitely for a fun change of pace. It fits good. The only drawback was the bangs were much too long, hanging right into my eyes, so I had to trim nearly an inch off their length. The color also was much darker than what I expected.

Things that are great: the price, the really cute style, the fit. Things that aren't so great: The seams keep breaking. 4 separate times I have had to frantically sew it back together in 4 different places just as I am walking out the door. I have severe alopecia and "need" a wig. I am anxious enough as it is about my condition, but the added stress to have to worry about performing a repair job before going out (or worse, that it might break in public) has brought me to tears. I called customer service and explained that I thought I may have a defective wig, but was told that "once the tags are cut, the wig is mine and there is nothing they can do." Talk about insult to injury. I thought about ordering another to see if it would be sewn better, but what if it's not? Then I have wasted twice the money. I will wear it until I find something else. More stress. Although I do like the wig, apparently, mine is defective and there is no recourse from customer service.

Comments about Meg WhisperLite® Wig by Paula Young®:
I wear this daily, and love it. I went out of town to visit my sister, who is very beauty conscious (she works for Clinique!), and she and my nieces raved about it! So, not only am I very pleased, it satisfied my desire for a "new look", and faced the people in my life who would have been the first to tell me if the style was not right for me! Thanks!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Loved the Meg
By Lovemybunny

About Me Beauty Conscious
My 1st order wasn't as impressed with wig, but love love my 2nd order!! 1st Meg (petite) didn't have much style to back of hair (no layers, as it showed it would have). The 2nd Meg (average) has great layers, love the style and swept bangs :). Love honey color as well. Thank you for this product, please keep making it available.

Cute wig
By Lauren
from Sarasota, Florida
I really like the fact that it does not have a lot of volume. I want a wig for work that is not overstated and this is it. I am wearing the color #8 medium golden brown and I think it's great. This is right out of the box. No styling or brushing just shook out and put on. This is my first petite and I like the fact that the hair does NOT overpower my face.

Buy this one, you won't be disappointed!
By Hoosier
from Indiana
This is the only wig I have been able to take out of the box, give it a good shake and then put it on. I like to use a little styling gel on the top to give it a lift. It is long enough in the back to give it style. I like the side sweep. This is an excellent wig.

Great Natural Look
By Nanabelle
from The "OC" California
I have been losing my hair for awhile now. First I wore bangs, hairpieces, wiglets and then had to graduate to full wigs. I look better in a wig than I ever did with my own fine, thin, straight hair. You should see me in the fog, Ugh!I have been wearing Meg for 6 - 8 months now. It wears well and looks so natural nobody realizes I have a wig on. I get compliments on my hair all the time. I can wear this from 9 am to 10 pm without remembering I have it on. It is so natural. I can shake it and throw it on if someone unexpectedly comes to the door and still look ok. This is my go to everyday wig around people that I know. I wear Greta and other wigs when I am out and about where I am not known, which makes wig wearing all the more fun, don't you think?
I wear Meg almost every day!
By LadeeDJ
from San Marcos, CA
I am bald due to Alopecia and I wear a wig 7 days a week 18 hours a day. This is my everyday piece. It is natural looking, and looks good whether I am shopping, working, or exercising. Plus the style is modern. This length is perfect to avoid frizzing at the neck. I find that I get months of use from each Meg I purchase. I get many compliments when I wear it in the Dark Auburn color.

Love, love, love this wig! I've ordered two now and they are perfect for me. I have super short hair and love to change up my look often. These sure fit the bill for that. I love that they are lightweight and the hair does not blow into my face and make me uncomfortable. Thank you PY for such a great choice!!

Report: NHTSA looking at 2009 VW Jetta stalling issues
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Aug 31st, 2010 at 9:27AM
It's only taken seven filed complaints out of 37,889 vehicles sold, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is taking a close look at the 2009 VW Jetta TDi regarding sudden stalling. Although only a handful of complaints have come into the NHTSA, a greater number of owners in various forums like VW Vortex, TDIclub.com, and VWDiesel.net have reported the same thing: a loss of power and then the engine cuts out. Suspicions seem to center on the fuel delivery system or the type of diesel used at the moment. Tales of $10,000 repair estimates have been related, but it's too... Read More

Yes, we all survived the Mayan forecast! (At last I think we did, unless this is all a secondary dimension where we think that we survived.)
2012 was a strange year. Some good, a lot of bad things happened, but as strange as it may seem, I am actually an optimist and one that truly thinks that things will get better, but only if we actually try to make it so. There is a quote from Albert Einstein, which I think fits well, and it goes something like this: "Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Think about it... it really does make sense!
I really do feel that if we take action, whether it is in our personal lives, at our business or even in the communities where we live, we can generate positive results!
OK, now onto 2013! Did you make any New Year's resolutions? I actually did, and this year (because of some things that happened in 2012), I actually think I have a good chance on doing these!
1. Cut my carb intake down at least 50%!
2. Increase my water intake by at least 100%!
3. Try to exercise more, at least 3-4 times a week!
4. Try to eat smarter and less.
That's all of them. Yes, I have some goals in business (including getting our first Front Range distributor up and running, getting Virginia up and running, and to unleash four new flavors, which will be announced soon), but in order for me to fulfill my business goals, I have to take care of myself and get myself in better shape. I really would like to be around for awhile.
What are your New Year's Resolutions? Let me know and we can put them in a future column!

Hyundai Genesis wins inaugural J.D. Power Vehicle Launch Index study

In addition, the study also makes use of automaker provided figures on model mix, incentive spend, supply levels, as well as utilizing... Read More

Illustration by Diane Pierce
One of the hardiest sparrows, this is the only one likely to winter in much of the far northern United States and southern Canada, where the dark-eyed junco can also be found. At that season it is frequently mistaken for the chipping sparrow, but the 2 rarely overlap in winter. The American tree sparrow often occurs in flocks of up to 50 birds. In habitat and behavior, they are much like field sparrows, but American tree sparrows are more frequent at bird feeders. Polytypic. Length 6.3" (16 cm).
Identification Gray head and nape crowned with rufous; rufous stripe behind eye; gray throat and breast, with dark central spot; rufous-buff patches on sides of breast. Back and scapulars streaked with black and rufous. Outer tail feathers thinly edged in white on outer webs. Grayish white underparts with buffy sides. Winter: more buffy; rufous color on crown sometimes forms a central stripe. Juvenile: streaked on head and underparts.
Geographic Variation Two subspecies show weak variation in measurements and overall coloration. The small, dark nominate subspecies breeds eastward from the eastern Northwest Territories and winters eastward from the central Great Plains. The western ochracea is larger and paler, and it winters from the central Great Plains west.
Similar Species See the field sparrow. The chipping sparrow rarely overlaps in range (except in certain areas in migration), has a distinct dark eye line in any plumage, and does not share the American tree sparrow's distinctly 2-toned bill.
Voice Call: sharp, high, bell-like tink; sometimes with a more lispy quality (poss. flight note). Flocks also give a musical teedle-eet. Song: usually begins with several clear notes followed by a variable, rapid warble.
Status and Distribution Fairly common. Uncommon to rare west of Rockies. Breeding: breeds along edge of tundra, in open areas with scattered trees, brush. Winter: weedy fields, marshes, groves of small trees. Migration: one of the late-fall and early-spring migrants. Fall migration in United States typically mid- or late October–late November; spring migrants depart mid-March–early April; accidental in United States after early May (mid-April in midlatitudes). Vagrant: casual to southern California, central Texas, and the Gulf Coast.
Population Possible declines in wintering population in East.

See how these beacons of safe passage protected ships and mariners for centuries.
They have been constructed on atolls barely above the water's surface and on sheer cliffs towering above rock-strewn shores. They have guarded ships and sailors for millennia. And they are vanishing quickly, replaced by global positioning devices, automated beacons and other high-tech devices.
MODERN MARVELS® ventures from Ancient Egypt to the world's most dangerous waters to tell the story of these beloved nautical icons. Experts like Wayne Wheeler, the director of the U.S. Lighthouse Society, explain how engineering and optics combined to create lifesavers that stood guard over the world's waters for centuries. Get an up-close look at some of the survivors, including many that have been converted to other uses. One of the few remaining keepers reflects on his vanishing trade, and the author of The Lightships of Cape Cod tells the story of the floating versions of the familiar towers.
A fascinating blend of engineering acumen and altruism, LIGHTHOUSES is a revealing look at a vanishing icon--and way of life.

8/04 in Yankee History
The red-letter days -
2010: With a first-inning 2-run blast off Toronto's Shaun Marcum at the Stadium, Alex Rodriguez becomes the 7th player in Major League history to hit 600 home runs
in his career, and the youngest ever to reach the milestone. The Yankees go on to win 5-1.
2007: Alex Rodriguez hit his 500th career home run, a 3-run shot off Kyle Davies of the Kansas City Royals. This makes A-Rod the youngest player ever to reach 500 homers. He is only the second Yankee to hit number 500 at home; Mickey Mantle (on May 14, 1967 against Stu Miller of the Orioles) was the other. The Bombers roll on to double up the Royals 16-8.
On other 4ths of August…
1998: Darryl Strawberry's pinch hit grand slam is the big blow in New York's 9-run 9th inning' as the Yankees
come from behind to defeat the A's 10-5 in the 2nd game of a doubleheader. It is Straw's 2nd pinch grand slam of the season' setting a new AL record' and tying the NL
mark held by his former manager Davey Johnson and Mike Ivie, both set in 1978. New York also win the 1st game of the twinbill' 10-4.
1989: Hard-luck hurler Dave Stieb loses a perfect game when the Yankees' Roberto Kelly doubles with 2 out in the 9th inning' and Stieb finishes with a 2-1
two-hitter. It is the 3rd time that Stieb has lost a no-hitter with 2
out in the 9th.
1985: Tom Seaver becomes the 17th 300-game winner in Major League history, pitching the White Sox to a 4-1, six-hit victory over the Yankees on Phil Rizzuto Day at the Stadium, as 54'032 New Yorkers cheer him on.
1984: The Yankees win their 8th straight' 4-0' over the Indians on Lou Piniella Day at the Stadium. Sweet Lou played his final game less than two months ago in an 8-3 win over the Orioles. Ray Fontenot allows one hit in 5 2/3 innings for the win' and Brian Dayett has a double and 2 RBI. Victor Mata hits his lone career homer
1983: While warming up before the 5th inning of the Yankees 3-1 win over the
Blue Jays game at Toronto's Exhibition Stadium' Dave Winfield accidentally kills a seagull with a thrown ball. After the game'
Winfield is brought to the Ontario Provincial Police station on charges
of cruelty to animals and is forced to post a $500 bond before being
released. The charges will be dropped the following day.
1978: Baltimore and Mike Flanagan hand Ron Guidry his 2nd loss of the year' stopping the Yankees 2-1 at the Stadium. It will also be Guidry's only loss at home this year. (Editor's note: I was at this game.)
1973: In a remarkable relief performance' Lindy McDaniel comes to the rescue of Fritz Peterson, who exits with a muscle pull in the 2nd inning. McDaniel comes out of the bullpen and goes 13 innings to earn himself and the Yankees a 3-2 victory over the Tigers. Horace Clarke's home run is the game winner.
1972: Bobby Murcer's grand slam in the 7th clinches the Yankees 9-4 win over the Brewers. Murcer also trots home twice on bases-loaded walks.
1963: After missing 61 games' Mickey Mantle returns to the Yankee lineup as a pinch hitter for Steve Hamilton. The Orioles are leading 10-9 in the 7th inning of the second game of a twinbill at the Stadium when the stiff-legged
Mantle golfs a line drive into the short porch in right to tie the game at 10. The emotional Yankees
win it' 11-10' after the visitors took the opener 7-2.
1962: Roger Clemens is born. Happy 48th to the Rocket!
1953: Vic Raschi sets the Major League record for RBI by a pitcher with 7' as the Yanks roll over
Detroit 15-0. Raschi singles in 2 in the 2nd' doubles home 3 in the
3rd' and singles home the last 2 in the 8th. Four pitchers held the previous mark
of 6 RB. His record will stand in the AL' but Braves pitcher Tony Cloninger will top Raschi's mark. Raschi's teammates fill his locker with bats after the game.
1937: Bill Dickey hits a grand slam for the 2nd consecutive game' connecting off the Browns' Vern Kennedy in the 3rd inning. The Yanks need it all as they edge St. Louis' 10-9.
Dickey is the second American Leaguer to hit grand slams in consecutive
games: Babe Ruth did it twice
1934: Backed by Babe Ruth's 18th homer with 2 on and a 2-run homer by Jack Saltzgaver (below)' the Yankees
beat the A's' 5-1. Jimmy DeShong wins his 5th straight. Lou Gehrig is
0-for-2' striking out for the first time since July 16. In the same
period' he has hit 11 homers.
1932: Bill Dickey returns to the Yankee lineup after his month's suspension with a grand
slam and 3 singles' as New York beat Chicago 15-3. Dickey will hit
another grand slam on the 10th of September.

6/09 in Yankee History
2008: In a season that will be one of the best ever compiled for saves, Mariano Rivera establishes a disturbing pattern of taking losses in games he enters in non-save situations. On this day, Kansas City's Luke Hochevar and Mike Mussina carry a scoreless duel through six, then both fall victim to two-run seventh-inning homers, by Miguel Olivo and Alex Rodriguez. But Rivera, who comes on in the ninth of the 2-2 tie, is reached for a leadoff home run by slugger Jose Guillen, and the Yanks fall 3-2. In the game's fifth inning, bicycling champion Lance Armstrong moves the remaining games counter in the old Stadium from 49 to 48.
2007: Roger Clemens makes his much-awaited season debut, getting the start against the Pirates at home. The Yanlees win 9-3, in a game that was much closer than the final score would indicate until the later innings. Reliever Chris Britton is demoted to AAA Scranton on to make room for the Rocket's return.
2006: Randy Johnson leaves his best stuff in his locker for a start against Oakland. Not only do the three home runs he allows include jolts by Bobby Kielty and Antonio Perez jolts in a four-run fourth, he walks three in the frame as well. The Yanks post a four-run uprising of their own in the home seventh on a Jason Giambi home run and a Robbie Cano triple, but the rally falls short in the 6-5 A's win.
2002: The Yankees win the rubber game of an exciting three-game set with the visiting Giants 4-2, when they rally for three in the 8th on a Nick Johnson double and a Rondell White single. Roger Clemens strikes out nine over eight frames for the win, while Joe Torre takes some heat for the hands-off approach that he takes with Barry Bonds, who is hit by a pitch and walked four times, the last three intentionally.
1992: The Yankees trade pitcher Lee Guetterman to the Mets in exchange for pitcher Tim Burke.
1973: At Kansas City, the Yanks rally for 5 runs in the 9th to stop the Royals 6-4. Newcomer Pat Dobson pitches 5 innings and allows one hit to win in relief. New York move into first with the win.
1961: In a rain-interrupted game in New York' Mickey Mantle's 3-run homer in the 3rd is the difference in a 8-6 win over Kansas City. Maris also homers' the third time this year the two have gone deep in the same game.
1959: At the Stadium' the Yanks edge Kansas City' 9-8 in 13 innings. Mickey Mantle homers in the 4th off Murry Dickson, but it is a Hector Lopez single that wins it in the 13th.
1947: The second place Yankees drop a 9-8 decision to the woeful White Sox. Allie Reynolds issues 8 free passes' and Bill Bevens adds 3 more. Joe Page walks none in the 9th but backup catcher Aaron Robinson lets a pop up drop in front of the plate for a single' and two hits later' the Sox score the winner. Johnny Lindell anad Luke Appling trade homers.
1946: The Yankees draw 66'545 for a doubleheader with the Indians' and pass the one million mark in attendance' the earliest date in ML history that any club has done so. Cleveland spoil the party with a 9-5 win in the opener' but the Yanks salvage the nitecap' 7-4.
The 1946 Yankees
1933:In Philadelphia' Jimmie Foxx ties an MLB record with another homer' his 5th in 3 games and his 12th of the year' but the A's bow to the Yankees 7-6. Lou Gehrig hits his 12th of the year and Tony Lazzeri connects for a 3-run dinger in the 8th to ice it. The sweltering heat in the east (NYC sets a heat record for the date with 97°F) causes both starters to end early; Jim Peterson leaves after walking the leadoff batter and after 5 innings Jumbo Brown collapses in the Yankees dugout and has to be carried away.
1931: Bill Virdon, whomanaged the Yanks to second- and third-place finishes in 1974 and 1975, respectively, is born. Happy 81st to the Milkshake Man!
1928: In action against the Yankees, Cleveland left fielder Charlie Jamieson starts his second triple play in three weeks.
In the 2nd inning, with Ben Paschal on third and Tony Lazzeri on first, Jamieson snags a line
drive hit by Joe Dugan. Charlie's quick throw to first baseman Lew Fonseca nabs Lazzeri' and Paschal is out at home when he tries to
score. Again' Cleveland are on the losing end' as New York win 7-3.
1927: At the Stadium, Murderers' Row take their third straight from Chicago, winning 8-3. New York knock Ted Blankenship out of the box in the 7th and Ray Morehart hits reliever Bert Cole's 1st pitch for a 3-run homer. Babe Ruth then legs out a triple and follows it with aa steal of home. The Yanks score 6 in the frame.
1922: At Comiskey Park, the Yankees use a courtesy runner against the White Sox. On a 2-out infield single in the 6th' Wally Schang is injured sliding into first and is replaced by Al De Vormer. After the third out' Schang returns to catching. When Schang reaches base in the 8th' De Vormer again runs for him' this time staying in to catch. The hosts do not do the visitors the courtesy of losing, however, as the Yanks drop the game 10-6.
1915: At the Polo Grounds, the White Sox pound the Yankees 13-0' as Eddie Cicotte (below) allows just 2 hits. Braggo Roth leads the attack with a homer' triple and single.

Lewis Hamilton put any concerns about the heat to one side to claim his 30th career pole position and his fourth at the Hungarian GP.
Although Sebastian Vettel appeared to have the edge over his rivals in qualifying, Hamilton put in a blistering 1:19.388 to take P1 in the dying seconds of Q3.
Romain Grosjean, who set the pace in final practice, was third quickest ahead of Nico Rosberg while Fernando Alonso once again qualified in his familiar fifth place.
Qualifying 1
The sun was beating down at the Hungaroring with temperatures around 32C and 33C with the track at the start of the session at 48C (and likely to be more than that on race day).
As Esteban Gutierrez headed out onto the circuit, the mechanics in the McLaren garage were still working hard on Sergio Perez's car, damaged at both ends in the final moments of FP3 this morning.
With the race expected to be in the 50C - 55C range tomorrow, teams were saving their Medium tyres for Sunday and heading straight out on the Softs. Valtteri Bottas set the first meaningful P1 for Williams at 1:21.532.
It is a circuit that is very little used outside of grands prix, and so the surface of the Hungaroring speeds up with every session. After eight minutes, only 11 car had set a time, the heavy hitters remaining in the garage - all bar Nico Rosberg who was still experimenting with set-up.
Daniel Ricciardo re-set P1 at 1:21.181 while team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne (who is not being considered for the Red Bull drive next year) was back in P3.
With seven minutes of the session left to run and the track now at 50C Alonso was the first of the front-runners to go for a time. He duly reduced P1 to 1:20.652 and Kimi Raikkonen slotted into P2 behind him.
His fellow Lotus driver, Romain Grosjean, had looked faster than Raikkonen for most of the weekend and he knocked Alonso off the top of the timesheets with a 1:20.477. Sebastian Vettel could only manage P2.
With three minutes of the session left to run the danger positions were: 15.Pic, 16.Van der Garde, 17.Bianchi, 18.Chilton, 19.Gutierrez, 20.Perez (no time), 21.Rosberg (no time), 22.Hamilton (no time).
Sergio Perez got his Mclaren back with six minutes of the session to run and duly delivered a P10 time, Gutierrez scrambled forward to P14.
The two Mercedes cars unleashed their full potential with Nico Rosberg claiming P1 with a 1:20.350 and Lewis Hamilton just 0.013 slower.
Pastor Maldonado jumped forward to P6 which then left: 15.Perez, 16.Vergne, 17.Gutierrez, 18.DiResta.
Paul Di Resta couldn't improve his place and stayed P18 - Vergne jumped up to P14 pushing Sergio Perez close to the drop zone in P16. The Mexican was on a faster lap, but with Gutierrez not improving he was able to come in and save tyre wear.
So out went: 17.Gutierrez, 18.DiResta, 19.Pic, 20.Van der Garde, 21.Bianchi, 22.Chilton.
It was a depressing result for Paul Di Resta at a time when other team bosses need to be impressed. Team-mate Adrian Sutil would ultimately finish in P11.
Qualifying 2Having underperformed in comparison to his team-mate in Q1, Kimi Raikkonen was anxious to get out and get on with it in Q2. He set the first P1 time at 1:20.987.
As Kimi was completing his lap, news came on team radio that Mark Webber's KERS had failed (yet again).
Romain Grosjean lowered the P1 time of his team-mate to 1:20.442, Romain was one of the many drivers to complete their first lap in Q2 on a set of used Soft tyres from Q1. Lewis Hamilton edged the top time down to 1:20.303, before Sebastian Vettel registered his intent with a 1:19.992 - that despite a lock-up.
With five minutes to go the danger positions were: 5.Alonso, 6.Sutil, 7.Massa, 8.Raikkonen, 9.Button, 10.Perez, 11.Bottas, 12.Ricciardo, 13.Webber, 14.Vergne, 15.Hulkenberg, 16.Maldonado.
Because everyone had a new set of Softs to throw at their final lap even Lewis Hamilton in P2 didn't feel safe and took to the track again. Kimi Raikkonen jumped to P2, Grosjean replaced him in P2. Nico Rosberg took P1 with a 1:19.778 and Lewis Hamilton came in a tenth behind him.
Fernando Alonso made himself safe in P4, Maldonado jumped up to a very temporary P9 pushing the McLarens back to P11 and P12. Ricciardo made it into the top 10 yet again with P7 while team-mate Vergne could only make P11.
Mark Webber was languishing in the dropzone but got up to P7 and Felipe Massa also rescued himself from the dropzone into P7. Sergio Perez jumped back to P10, but an understeering Jenson Button could only manage P13.
So out went: 11.Sutil, 12.Hulkenberg, 13.Button, 14.Vergne, 15.Maldonado, 16.Bottas.
Vergne was over a half second behind his team-mate, but Button - who has won twice in Hungary - was surprised to have been beaten by Perez.
Qualifying 3
Sergio Perez realised he couldn't make much of an impression on the cars in front so opted to qualify on the medium tyres ready for the race - his 1:24.852 was never going to take pole.
Kimi Raikkonen set the provisional pole time with a 1:20.533 that included a lurid slide from his rallying days in the final corner. Nico Rosberg took a set of used Softs to beat that with a 1:20.387 and then Lewis Hamilton edged him out with a 1:20.324, also on a used set.
Sebastian Vettel strapped on a set of new Softs for his first pole tilt and it produced a blistering 1:19.5 - surely no-one could beat that, it was eight-tenths up on Hamilton's time.
After the first runs the positions were: Vettel, Hamilton, Rosberg, Grosjean, Raikkonen, Massa, Alonso, Perez.
Perez improved his Medium run pace to a 1:22.398, but the only person that time was going to beat was a car not setting a time - and due to the ongoing KERS saga and gearbox issues Mark Webber jumped out of his car before the session had ended. It would give Sergio P9 and the clean side of the grid!
Out the cars came for their second runs - Nico Rosberg produced a purple (fastest) Sector 1 of 28.6 and then Lewis Hamilton bettered it with a 28.5.
Raikkonen crossed the line to take P2. Grosjean immediately took it off him, Nico Rosberg, despite his great early lap could only manage P3, Alonso grabbed P4.
Then Lewis Hamilton broke the timing beam with an amazing 1:19.388, almost a second quicker than his first lap, and Vettel improved but had no answer, crossing the line with a 1:19.426.
The race may be another thing, but for the moment Mercedes had re-established themselves at the front, on their new Pirelli rubber. How long it lasts on Sunday with track temperatures predicted to get to 55C is anyone's guess, but for now the Mercedes team were just happy to have got one over the auld enemy.
Those starting on the grid's even numbers will be very keen to see it cleaned before the race as it is a notorious brake on a car's getaway - with Alonso and Massa in P5 and P7 there could well be fireworks at the first corner.

Paul Di Resta has confessed he would dearly love to secure a drive with Ferrari, should the opportunity present itself.
The 26-year-old Scot has done his reputation no harm so far this season, securing points in seven of the eight grands prix so far, often from tough grid positions.
And while Red Bull appear to have overlooked him as a replacement for Mark Webber, a spot at Ferrari might also open up in the near future considering Felipe Massa's poor recent form, which has led to four crashes in the last three grands prix.
Should Ferrari decide to look elsewhere next year, De Resta hopes he will at least be in the picture, and having some Italian roots (his grandfather emigrated to Scotland from Naples in the 1950s) certainly doesn't hurt.
"You would jump at it, definitely," said Di Resta.
"Obviously it's every boy's dream as they grow up to get in a Ferrari at some point in their life, and being Italian is a nice thing, having the Italian blood.
"But I will concentrate on my job and let other people do their job.
"Where I am next year I don't know, but there are many points up for grabs. That is the important bit - keeping your reputation high."
Di Resta currently lies eighth in the drivers' standings with 36 points, and is doing all he can to grab the attention of the top teams.
While he admits to being disappointed at not being in the picture to replace Webber at Red Bull, he added: "There's nothing I can do. It is what it is.
"I'm only trying to do what I can do. I've built my reputation in Formula One. I want to be in a winning seat, but it's down to the decision of the boards of other teams.
"I've still a lot of races with Force India this year so I'll keep concentrating on that and let other people do the work in the background."

Is it California's Turn to Legalize Marijuana?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
When news broke on the evening of November 6 that Colorado had become the first state to legalize cannabis for adults 21 and older, patrons at the trendy Casselman's Bar & Venue in Denver erupted in cheers before they hugged each other and cried. Onstage, organizers and friends of the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol thanked those who had gathered — the elderly African-American ladies, the young hipsters, the business execs. There were far more people in suits, however, than in tie-dye in attendance that night, and there was nary a hint of ganja smoke in the hip establishment.
Pragmatism trumped counter-cultural rebellion again a few hours later in Seattle's Hotel Ändra, where travel writer Rick Steves joined business leaders and members of the ACLU, along with Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes, in thanking volunteers for making history in that state. Last week, Washington's Initiative 502 went into effect, and Colorado's Amendment 64 was implemented on Monday. Prosecutors in both states have already been dismissing simple possession cases by the thousands.
But cheers for Colorado and Washington on election night were accompanied by a bit of jealousy here in California, where voters narrowly defeated the pot legalization measure Proposition 19 in 2010. "A lot of people have said to me, 'How come we couldn't do that last election?'" remarked Stephen Downing, a retired Los Angeles Police Department deputy chief and a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP).
The victories in Colorado and Washington have sparked more than just jealousy in the Golden State. Amanda Reiman, California policy manager for the Drug Policy Alliance, said a new legalization initiative is now on the tip of everyone's tongue in the California reform community. "This was something that we were talking about before the election," she said. "The results of the election have just ramped up those conversations, absolutely."
NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, has planned a conference on legalization for January 26 and 27 at Fort Mason in San Francisco. NORML, the Marijuana Policy Project, the Drug Policy Alliance, LEAP, Americans for Safe Access, the Emerald Growers Association, and the Oaksterdam community in Oakland, have been holding both public and private talks as well. "No question about it," said Bill Zimmerman, who helped run California's successful Proposition 215 medical marijuana initiative in 1996. "A lot of people in California are starting to talk about a future campaign — certainly the debate about 2014 versus 2016, all that's being engaged."
A new California legalization initiative also may not be the only one in the nation. Recent polls show that Americans are becoming increasingly comfortable with the idea of bringing pot out of the closet. A survey released last week from the respected polling organization Quinnipiac University showed that Americans now favor marijuana legalization 51 percent to 44 percent. It's a historic shift.
Americans also believe that states — not the federal government — should decide whether pot is legal. A Gallup poll released on December 10 revealed that 64 percent of Americans want to leave marijuana policy up to the states. "I would not be surprised to see [cannabis legalization] on the ballot in a number of places in 2014 and 2016," said Beau Kilmer, co-director of the Drug Policy Research Center at the nonpartisan think tank RAND.
But replicating Colorado and Washington's victories isn't a simple matter of copying and pasting initiatives, reform experts say. The victories in both states came from a decade of hard work that resulted in not only strong coalitions and palatable initiative language, but also campaigns run by professional operatives armed with cash.

There were points in Canadian for both Force India drivers and Kimi Raikkonen while Sergio Perez just missed out...
Force India:
Paul di Resta: "To finish the race in seventh having started 17th is a great result and a top job by the team. I didn't manage to get any long run data on Friday so it feels extra sweet to make this one-stop strategy work with a very long stint on the mediums. It also feels good to come back so strong after a difficult qualifying session. The tyres lasted very well, the lap times were competitive and the team told me it was my decision about when to make my stop. As soon as I felt the tyres starting to drop off, I came in. Then it was a case of looking after the supersofts for the final few laps."
Adrian Sutil: "That race was quite an adventure so it's good to come away with a point given everything that happened. I had a spin when I tried to overtake Bottas, which cost me quite a few positions and I was lucky nobody hit me when I was in the middle of the track. I dropped back and the pack was bunched together, which is when Maldonado ran into the back of me and damaged my rear wing. Even with all those things I was running in eighth until the drive-through penalty. I don't think it was a fair penalty because I too had to lap so many cars today and it sometimes took one or two laps, and that's normal for this circuit. The penalty cost me two positions and three points."
Lotus F1:
Kimi Raikkonen: "My race didn't start very well and then my brakes were fading with the pedal going soft; similar to the problem we had on Friday. It wasn't ideal but at least the brakes were good enough to slow me down for the corners. Unfortunately though it meant I lost a lot of time and wasn't able to attack, plus we lost a few seconds in the pit stop which obviously didn't help either. Most of my race was just following the cars in front and defending from those behind, so not the most enjoyable day nor the most enjoyable result. It's been a bad weekend, but at least we scored a few points."
Romain Grosjean: "It was always going to be a tough race coming from the back, but it's still disappointing to miss out on the points. Things were looking good until we switched to the option tyres, but they dropped off far quicker than we expected which forced us to stop again. Sadly that effectively put an end to our race as by that time there was no way back. After a promising start on Friday it's not been the best weekend, but we had good pace last year at Silverstone so we'll come back looking to put things right."
Sergio Perez: "This wasn't the race we were hoping to have. We tried our best to try and score a few points, but it was impossible to do any better than we did out there today. It's a pity, because the car felt quite good during our installation laps. But the car didn't work that well on the Option tyre, and we struggled to find enough grip. At Silverstone, I hope we can make a step forward. We brought some upgrades to this race, but didn't really get the running we needed to verify them. Hopefully, they'll work better at Silverstone."
Jenson Button: "This wasn't the best race for us as a team. It's particularly tough because this circuit is usually very good to us.
"With hindsight, I think we'd have been better off starting on the Prime tyre, rather than the Option. During my first stint, all the two-stoppers pitted ahead of me, then came back to overtake me, so it was a bit tricky. However, we showed today that, irrespective of strategy, we wouldn't have gone any faster. Our car tends to work better on fast and flowing circuits - such as Malaysia or China - so I'm looking forward to my home race at Silverstone at the end of the month. We tried some new parts this weekend, but they weren't really suited for this type of circuit - they should work better at Silverstone, so I'm feeling positive about the future."
Valtteri Bottas: "We fought hard to try and secure some points today but ultimately we just didn't have the pace in the car. I didn't get a great start which allowed a few cars to jump me on the first lap, and in the dry conditions we simply couldn't match the level of competitiveness we showed yesterday. The tyre wear in the first stint was also high which made it tough to stay in the top ten. Nevertheless I feel like I have learnt a lot from the race today and as a team we can take positives from the weekend. Hopefully we can continue to make progress and have a stronger race at Silverstone with the home crowd cheering us on."
Pastor Maldonado: "We were expecting a better result today in the race. We knew we didn't have the top speed to challenge at the front, but we struggled for pace right from the beginning of the race. The car felt better in the wet conditions compared to the dry hot weather we saw today so we need to understand why. After the good result with Valtteri yesterday, it was a tough weekend for us to end with neither car in the points. There are now three weeks until the next race so we need to keep working to improve our overall race performance."
