Miss Me Slim Boot Stretch Jean 7 7
LOVEE These were my first pair of Miss Me Jeans and I am IN LOVE WITH THEM! they fit me perfectly and I love the pockets and all the bling! I've gotten some many compliments on them in just the two times I've worn them! LOVE LOVE LOVE. I'm now hooked on Miss Me(: August 22, 2013
very stretchy These jeans are very stretchy. I feel as though they slip off my butt and I am constantly pulling them back up. I like the overall fit of the slim at thigh and a little bigger at the legs. They look great with flats or sandals. They detail isn't too over the top which I like. I would recommend these to anyone who needs a little more stretch than normal. November 19, 2014
MissMe I love Miss Me jeans and these are no exception! Fit great and feel amazing!!!! February 2, 2014
Love..... Love these Miss Me's.. ordered a 27XL.. my normal size at the moment. These run a tad bit smaller in the waist on me. Miss Me jeans don't stretch as much as Big Star. Trying to stretch the waist out a bit. I'm 58" 133lbs. Love the fit so will keep these. Like the slim cut and the fit is awesome.. look fantastic. If I ordered up they would be too large so I would stick with your regular size, you might be a bit smaller waisted then I am. Don't hesitate on these, they're awesome. December 18, 2013
Great Buy!!! These jeans fit true to size & are extremely comfortable! They are stretchy (obviously) which makes them comfortable to wear but not stretchy enough to make them a size bigger. They did seem just a little darker in person than online, and in my opinion they look way better in person. By far my favorite pair of miss me's!! October 1, 2013
THE BEST JEANS TO WEAR ! I think that these jeans are the best and they will always be the jeans i will wear from the buckle. These jeans fit perfect and they look good on me. I LOVE THESE JEANS.<3 August 4, 2013
Great jeans These jeans are very nice. They are comfortable and durable and they fit just right. The only thing I'm worried about I's the little leather attachments falling off. But they are still great jeans. July 26, 2013

In this benchmark, only the 64GB V+ and 60GB Agility were paired up since they are the closest competing capacity drives we have on hand. Plus, we can take a look at how controllers handle the loaded beat down.
64GB V+ Empty
64GB V+ Loaded
Above are the results of the 64GB V+ with the Samsung controller. You can see that rates are pretty steady when the drive is empty. But, for whatever reason (probably due to the lack of TRIM), the Seq Write lost almost 20MB/s in performance. A firmware roll back only allowed it to gain back 6 MB/s which isn't much.
60GB Agility Empty
60GB Agility Loaded
Now we get a look at the Agility and how much better it fares with the Indilinx controller. Sequential rates drop about 10MB/s where as the Random rates pretty much didn't change at all. We expect there to always be a performance hit as an SSD, or HDD for that matter, start to fill up. But, SSDs do much better with TRIM support.
Final Thoughts
After the fat is "TRIM'd" away, we see the Agility in its true light. Its Indilinx powered, has TRIM support, and it's priced similar to other performing 60 to 64GB competitors. Also, if you look carefully, you'll see the competition doesn't offer that all important TRIM feature. Plainly said, this is what a boot drive should be!
- TRIM Support
- Indilinx Controller
- Maintains better transfer rates when loaded
- $169.99 w/rebate at Newegg
- Great for an OS Boot Drive
- May still be too pricey for casual users
- Too small for real storage needs
Overall Rating: 8.5/10.0

What We Do Not Fund
The Russell Sage Foundation is an operating foundation dedicated to programs of basic social science research in three program areas: research on the future of work, concerned with the causes and consequences of the decline in demand for low-skill workers in advanced economies; research on current U.S. immigration that focuses on the adaption of the second generation to American society; and social-psychological research on improving relations among racial and ethnic groups in schools, workplaces, and neighborhood settings. Our limited budget makes it necessary for us to confine our grants to projects that fall within these announced areas of interest.
Our guidelines restrict us from giving grants for pre-doctoral study or research. We do not award scholarships or other types of grants for support of college funding.
We do not fund residential fellowships elsewhere. (See information about the Russell Sage Foundation Visiting Scholar Program.)
We are enjoined by IRS code from making general support grants to other institutions. Only specific project grants that further our declared program goals are permitted.
As an operating foundation carrying out our own programs of basic social science research, we are in a position to publish only those books deriving from the research that we support.

The prevalence of psychiatric conditions among elite athletes is still under debate. More and more evidence has accumulated that high-performance athletes are not protected from mental disorders as previously thought. The authors discuss the issue of the sport specificity of selected mental diseases in elite athletes. Specific aspects of eating disorders, exercise addiction, chronic traumatic encephalopathy and mood disorders in the context of overtraining syndrome are examined. In particular, the interrelationship between life and work characteristics unique to elite athletes and the development of mental disorders are reviewed. Differences of clinical presentation and some therapeutic consequences are discussed. The authors suggest that the physical and mental strains endured by elite athletes might influence the onset and severity of their psychiatric disorder. Beside the existing research strategies dealing with the amount of exercise, its intensity and lack of recreation experienced by athletes, further research on psycho-social factors is needed to better understand the sport-specific aetiology of mental disorders in high-performance athletes.

How well does this work with Photoshop? And Dual screens...?
Is the trackpad sensitive enough to us as something in between a mouse and a graphics tablet? Also how well does it work for spanning over a dual screen set up?

I do not know how well it works with Photoshop, but I imagine it works very well. I have my Magic Trackpad set up with dual screens and it works great, just as well as any other mouse. I really like the Magic Trackpad, and I previously owned the Mighty Mouse and the Magic Mouse. Out of the three the Magic Trackpad is the best by far and I really recommend getting it.

I use the Trackpad with 6 screens. It takes less than one second to go from screen 1 to 6 or vice versa. A mouse was 2-3 seconds. Huge difference, changed my life!

Rob Sama Grand Plan – The Housing CrisisThe housing crisis is the proximate cause of our capital crisis, and while I believe that altering our tax policies will have a more immediate effect on bringing us out of that crisis, we do need to address the proximate causes of the housing crisis if we are to avoid re-inflating the housing bubble. Back in November I wrote a longish essay detailing the causes of the housing crisis. You should go (re)read the essay to get yourself oriented. But we should briefly enumerate the causes here just to review anyway:
Not all of these elements need to be resolved in order to fix the housing mess, but a number of them do. And we certainly would be better off if we addressed all of the relevant issues. So let's break this up into two sections: necessary fixes and optional fixes. And I'll wrap up with some final comments and policy changes which would help accelerate our road to recovery. Eliminate the Home Mortgage Interest Tax Deduction:I already covered the general motivation for eliminating all income tax credits and deductions in the tax plank part of the Grand Plan. But I do want to debunk the general motivation for this particular deduction, as it is the driving factor behind so much of our government policy today regarding housing. The impetus seems to be that it always a good thing for a person to own his own home, that owners have a greater stake in society than renters, and that it is therefore better to have a society made up of home owners over home renters. The problem with this of course is that it isn't necessarily true. Germany seems to have a good model set up where people are both renters and good citizens, and of course, there's nothing to stop an owner from being neglectful about his properties or otherwise being anti-social. And there are distinct problems with home ownership, which should be enumerated:
The mortgage interest tax credit amounts to a tax on those who rent their homes, and renters are people who need to be mobile, are not yet settled with their lives, or are living in neighborhoods in which they do not wish to set roots. Look at it on a surcharge on those people rather than a credit for homeowners, because that's what it is. Taxing renters for being renters is regressive and encourages people who on their own would not logically enter into a long-term commitment to do so when it would not otherwise make economic sense for them to so do on their own. Moreover, giving people a credit on their income taxes for their home encourages them to purchase the largest home they can possibly afford, in order to maximize their credit. This leads to all sorts of market distortions, including the rise of so-called McMansions. But it also encourages taxpayers to have extremely lopsided portfolios, putting as much as they can into the home in order to get that guaranteed tax credit, rather than diversify into different investments. This is a risky strategy, and can leave people in a lurch should the real estate market take a turn for the worst, as it recently has. So get rid of the deduction. It introduces bad market distortions, punishes the poor and renters. There's nothing wrong with renters, so stop punishing them. Break up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Fully privatize them.Any entity two big to fail should be broken up by means of an antitrust lawsuit. That should be axiomatic. But Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are problematic for reasons other than just being large. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are what's called Government Sponsored Entities (GSEs). That means these entities were formed by the government and can be taken back over by the government at any time. They are highly influenced by the Federal Government, and Fannie Mae in particular seems to have become a dumping ground for ex-Democrat politicians who are looking to manage social policy and collect an obnoxiously huge paycheck. As a consequence of their tight relationship with the government, investors viewed Fannie and Freddie backed securities as coming with a guarantee from the Federal Government. This meant that Fannie and Freddie could engage in risky behavior, including outrageous accounting scandals that would have brought down any private company, and still have no trouble selling their securities to the open market. That fact alone created an inherent disfunction, but when congress started directing Fannie and Freddie to purchase the riskiest of mortgages and securitize them to be floated on the open market, that took the disfunction to a whole new level. Now the Federal Government, that's you and me and the rest of the taxpaying public, was on the hook for the riskiest mortgages on the market. That's systemic risk on a massive level. The simple solution here is to divest the Federal Government from any involvement or say over Fannie and Freddie, and to break the two entities up into bite sized pieces, small enough to be owned by private equity firms. That way seasoned managers can weed out the political corruption inherent in these firms, adjust their risk profile to one that makes economic sense (as opposed to political sense to the likes of Barney Frank) and restore a healthy market in mortgage backed securities. Repeal the Community Reinvestment Act.Assuming there ever was a need for such a thing, those days are long gone. Financial institutions are more than willing to do business in poorer areas of town, and make mortgages where they make sense. What doesn't make sense is telling banks to alter their individual risk profiles, or to relax their lending standards below what makes sense to them. And yet, the current insanity continues. Witness: Utter foolishness. So our government is going to spend its time punishing healthy banks for making the right decisions and avoiding an irrational mania during the housing boom. If that isn't considered wrong-headed policy than I don't know what is. Repeal the Community Reinvestment Act and leave the healthy banks to grow. Eliminate Mark To Market Accounting.This has largely already happened, so I'm not going to spend too much time on it. But basically, the rule made banks state their loan assets on their books at the value that that asset would gain if sold on the open market today. This works fine if the market is functioning properly, but it doesn't work in a panic. In order to establish a market price, one needs a willing buyer and a willing seller. Mark to Market in essence voids that logic, and says in a world where there is no willing buyer, what's the highest price one could get? In effect, it makes banks value their assets at firesale prices. In any event, this has largely been taken care of. I have no issue with disclosing what such a firesale price would be, but surely marking down performing loans to their market value as opposed to the value of their discounted cash flows is needlessly conservative, and throws banks' covenant and compliance ratios all out of whack for no good reason. While Mark to Market is not the cause of the crisis, it threw fuel on the fire, which was completely unnecessary. Best to leave the rule repealed. Interest RatesCurrency issues will be dealt with in greater depth in another plank of the Grand Plan. But suffice it to say the Federal Reserve has done a lousy job managing our currency. They repeatedly fuel rapid growth (booms) by means of artificially lowering interest rates, and then when they believe things are getting out of control, they raise interest rates causing a crash (bust). To get us out of the crash, they lower interest rates again, and the boom bust cycle continues. Read a detailed account of this process here. Today, the Fed has lowered interest rates again, this time to absurdly low levels. Look for this to fuel another boom, this time I predict in green energy. And then look for it to collapse again. Suffice it to say that I believe interest rates need to rise immediately, and that a long term structural change needs to be made in our currency system in order to get out of these boom/bust cycles once and for all. Unwind The Mortgage Backed SecuritiesSo the mortgage backed securities are toxic, and have been valued at near zero in many cases, precisely because nobody knows what is in any one bundle of securities. It would seem axiomatic then, to unwind these securities and find out exactly what is in each one. Doing this will have a number of positive effects:
The commonality here is that the bundling of mortgages into Mortgage Backed Securities has hindered proper price discovery, and caused something of a panic in the marketplace. When prices cannot be discovered, people bail, and that is exactly what has happened here. The sooner prices can be discovered, the better off everybody will be. Once prices are discovered, home owners should be given an opportunity to refinance their homes at the lower principle by buying back their mortgage on the open market. Particularly if the Fed is the current holder of the mortgage. Doing this will enable people to get themselves out from under water, and will recapitalize the banking system. it should be a win win for everybody involved. Optional items.There are a few items here that are optional. They're methods that other countries employ in their home mortgage systems, that we may want to consider in our own:
There are some problems which are strictly regional as well. Local NIMBY attitudes towards building can cause the cost of housing to reach astronomical heights. There's not much that can be done on a federal level about that, other than perhaps suing local municipalities for unjust takings, perhaps. And in some areas housing supply got WAY overbuilt. The problem with an oversupply is that is causes the price of housing to crash, which with non-recourse mortgages encourages people to abandon their mortgages, which in turn causes a cascade of failures. But there are also social problems with built but empty houses, namely they become occupied by drifters or they become crack dens. So Something needs to be done. Holman Jenkins of the Wall Street Journal has suggested literally bulldozing these excess houses down. This would reduce the supply of houses, and increase the prices of existing houses, while eliminating the existence of empty houses that can become occupied by squatters. On the flip side, I've seen it suggested that we fast track immigration visas of anyone willing to buy and live in homes in these overbuilt areas, particularly inland California, Arizona, Nevada and Florida. This would make especial sense were we to fast-track highly educated immigrants this way, so that they use their education here and built businesses and the economy here rather than in the country of their origin. Given a choice, I would prefer the fast track to citizenship approach, but regardless, even bulldozing will be better than nothing. Returning some sanity to the housing market will free up capital used in housing towards more productive ventures and enable proper price discovery so that bankers and investors are no longer afraid to invest. In total, my proposals will reduce the overall cost of housing, without encouraging those who should be renting from buying houses they cannot afford or otherwise should not be locked into, all while removing systemic risk from the system. The losers will be the construction industry and those who bought homes they could not afford, but they were bound to lose sooner or later anyway. But the biggest losers will be the GSEs and their politician masters. And again, they deserve to lose.

Risk factors include absence of pregnancy, early age of first menstruation (before age 12), late onset of menopause (after age 52), obesity, diabetes, and estrogen replacement therapy. Additional risk factors are a personal history of breast or ovarian cancer, age (over age 40), and a family history of uterine cancer. Whites are more likely to develop uterine cancer than are blacks. The major symptom is vaginal bleeding or discharge. Treatment may begin with simple or radical hysterectomy. Some uterine cancers are treated in part by hormonal therapy, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy.

Abnormal bleeding from the uterus not related to menstruation. Most common in the first few years after menarche and as menopause approaches, it is thought to occur when malfunctioning ovaries reduce blood estrogen levels. A malfunctioning hypothalamus or pituitary gland may also cause hormonally induced uterine bleeding, as can birth-control pills or hormone-replacement therapy. Some tumours produce estrogen and can alter the menstrual cycle, causing bleeding. Tumours in the uterus often bleed easily. Other causes include injury to the uterus, stress, obesity, chronic illness, psychological problems, and blood and cardiovascular disorders. Treatment is directed toward the underlying cause.

The same day it unveiled a blockbuster partnership with global pharmacy, health and beauty retailer and wholesaler Alliance Boots, Walgreen Co. reported declined sales and earnings for its fiscal 2012 third quarter.
Retail News Breaks Archives
DEERFIELD, Ill. – The same day it unveiled a blockbuster partnership with global pharmacy, health and beauty retailer and wholesaler Alliance Boots, Walgreen Co. reported declined sales and earnings for its fiscal 2012 third quarter.
Walgreens also said Tuesday that earnings in the quarter, which were in line with Wall Street's forecast, reflect a negative impact of 1 cent per diluted share from the deal with Alliance Boots, in which the U.S. drug chain is buying a 45% ownership stake and has the option to acquire the other 55% of the company later on.
Net income for the third quarter came in at $537 million, or 62 cents per diluted share, compared with $603 million, or 65 cents per diluted share, a year earlier, according to Walgreens. The earnings result includes a negative impact of 6 cents per diluted share net of cost controls from no longer being part of the Express Scripts Inc. pharmacy network, due to the drug chain's contract impasse with the pharmacy benefit manager.
Financial analysts, on average, had projected earnings of 62 cents per share, with estimates ranging from a low of 58 cents to a high of 67 cents, according to Thomson Financial.
Third-quarter sales fell 3.4% to $17.8 billion from $18.4 billion in the prior-year period, Walgreens said. Same-store sales in the quarter decreased 6.6%, reflecting declines of 0.9% in the front end and 9.9% in the pharmacy. Customer traffic in comparable stores was down 2.6%, but basket size grew 1.7%.
"By focusing on our key strategies, we are positioning ourselves to be the first choice for health and daily living," Walgreens president and chief executive officer Greg Wasson said in a statement. "We continue to learn from our 200 pilot Well Experience format stores, including some Duane Reade locations in New York City. We also continue to advance the role of community pharmacy by expanding our pharmacy, health and wellness services and deepening relationships with a number of partners."
Overall prescription sales, which accounted for 62.9% of Walgreens' total revenue in the quarter, declined 6.6%. The company said it filled 192 million prescriptions in the quarter, down 8.4% from a year earlier. Prescriptions filled in comparable stores decreased 9.1%.
"During the current pharmacy benefit selling season, we're pleased with the very favorable response we are hearing from plans, payers and benefits consultants to the value that Walgreens brings to employers and patients," Wasson stated.
For the nine months ended May 31, total sales edged up 0.6% to $54.6 billion, Walgreens reported. Net earnings for the nine-month period were $1.77 billion, or $2.03 per diluted share, down from $1.92 billion, or $2.07 per diluted share, a year ago.
As of May 31, Walgreens operated 7,890 drug stores nationwide, 175 more than a year ago.
Also on Tuesday, Walgreens announced what it said was the largest quarterly dividend in the company's history. The drug chain raised the quarterly dividend 22.2% to 27.5 cents per share from the prior rate of 22.5 cents per share.
The company noted that it has previously stated its goal of a long-term dividend payout target of 30% to 35% of net earnings. Over the past five years, its annual dividend rate has climbed from 38 cents per share to $1.10 per share, resulting in a compound annual growth rate of nearly 24%.

Ambulance bids top county agenda

The Ellis County Commission approved a motion to authorize bidding for two new ambulances at Monday's regular meeting at the Ellis County Courthouse.
Commissioners did make a change in the bid package. Ellis County EMS Director Kerry McCue told commissioners among changes he recommended would be for a second air conditioner, plugged into the inverter, to be used to cool medications inside the trucks while they were not running, and sitting inside the station.
After being questioned by the commissioners about the cost and need, McCue said he was willing to make that an option in the bid process.
"Just so you're more comfortable, I will pull that out and put it as an option," McCue said.
Commissioner Dean Haselhorst and Chairwoman Barbara Wasinger said that was their preference.
"The reason being, I don't want to cause you or your staff any extra work. But it's something you get used to doing, making sure that someone, one person is in charge of grabbing these medications" before going out on a call, Wasinger said. "We're talking about thousands of dollars to put in and keep it running."
McCue said that option was a consideration.
"We've tried that," he said. "It's just not operationally functional."
Commissioners asked what the cost would be, and McCue did not have the cost available at the meeting.
"I'd like to know what the difference in price would be," Wasinger said.
McCue said one ambulance, which was due to be replaced in 2011, now has approximately 160,000 miles on it. Another ambulance, scheduled to be replaced in 2012, has approximately 190,000 miles on it and needs a new transmission. The cost to fix it is more than the ambulance is worth, McCue said.
In other business:
* Commissioners received a report on a scheduled road construction project on Old U.S. Highway 40 in the eastern part of the county.
* Commissioners were informed of a railroad crossing agreement for a crossing west of Yocemento. The crossing will be upgraded to having lights and gates.
* Commissioners were given an EMS operations update.
* Commissioners received the monthly health report, quarterly statement from the county treasurer and monthly financial report.
* Commissioners went into executive session for 10 minutes with county administrator Greg Sund and county counselor Bill Jeter to discuss union negotiations. No action was taken.

Cover Girl Natureluxe Liquid Silk Foundation ] [DISCONTINUED]
Average Rating 3.5/5 |
Review by marr0110
This is my holy grail foundation product. I use the shade Flax for my skin and it's a perfect match! I've repurchased it a few times for multiple reasons... I like the packaging. I really like the squeeze tube rather than an open bottle you have to tip over nearly always resulting in too much product. I can easily control how much I use (typically the size of 2 peas) on the back of my hand before i use a stippling brush with the product. The coverage is medium to full coverage on me but feels so light. I have very acne prone skin and this has made my skin look flawless and has never broken me out. I feel like it does have a very light scent but it feels very fresh and does not really add to me liking or disliking the product. & The SPF is a wonderful added bonus! I highly recommend this foundation and will continue to keep repurchasing it!

It can be a challenge to keep kids occupied with wholesome activities all throughout the summer, especially when temperatures get too hot to spend the afternoon outdoors. Luckily, many time-tested crafts—like flower pressing!—provide plenty of fun indoors. Preserving the flowers and leaves from your garden is a great way to collect the memories of the garden you and your children grew together.
The first thing you and your kids need to do is collect flowers and leaves to press. Collect them in the morning, after the dew has dried, but before the day has really started to heat up. Flowers that have just opened will make the prettiest pressings. Don't pick flowers that are bruised or have insect damage, as those marks will turn brown and unattractive after pressing.
While helping your kids snip flowers around your garden, be sure to avoid poisonous plants. You may not realize that euphorbias, rue, asparagus fern, and parsnip flowers can cause blisters or other types of discomfort. Of course, educate yourself on how to identify poison ivy, poison oak ("leaves of three, let it be"), and sumac. You'll definitely want to steer your kids away from those plants!
As you collect the flowers and leaves, stick them in a bud vase or small cup with water to help keep them fresh. You'll want to press them the same day you collected them, but putting them in water will help keep them fresh until you're done picking flowers and have your flower pressing supplies ready.
Organize your flowers by type, as you'll want to press all your pansies together, your geraniums together, and so on. Different flowers take different lengths of time to dry, so it's easier to press them in groups with similar flowers.
The easiest and least expensive way to press your flowers and leaves is between the pages of a large, heavy book (old phone books work well). You'll also need several pieces of wax paper or plain white sheets of paper to protect the pages of your book from being stained by the flowers. Don't use paper towels, as they will leave their pattern on the flowers you press between them.
Press your flowers however looks best to you. Having multiple flowers of the same type will allow you to experiment with placing them sideways, facedown, and face up. Some flowers, like daisies, are easiest to press when you cut off the stem and place them facedown. Other flowers look nicest when they still have a little bit of their stem attached. Let your creative side decide!
The hardest part is waiting. Once you have your flowers in between the pages of your book, you'll have to wait two to four weeks (the thicker the flower, the longer the drying time) for the flowers to be completely flattened and dried. Wait until the flowers are dry and papery before taking them out. Use the flowers to make decorative bookmarks, gift cards, sun catchers, place mats, or anything else that could use a cheery flower or two!

Hunt Is On for Worlds Best Architecture
Prepare your portfolios—entries are now being accepted for a competition to identify the best new buildings around the globe.
Organizers of the World Architecture Festival, held for the first time last fall, have announced that this year's event will take place in Barcelona, from November 4 to 6. The main component of the festival is an international awards program judged by notable architects, writers, and editors. Among the big-name jurors this year are Kengo Kuma, Peter Cook, Will Alsop, Rafael Viñoly, and Lee Polisano.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
The festival is run by Emap, a UK-based media company that publishes The Architectural Review and The Architects' Journal and manages various industry events. RECORD also is a sponsor this year.
More than 40 awards will be given, distributed among four main categories. Due to feedback from last year's participants, when the awards program focused exclusively on completed buildings, the organizers have added three new categories: future projects (on the boards), interiors and fit-outs, and structural design. The future projects category is open to design work started after January 1, 2008. All other categories are open to projects completed between January 1, 2008, and June 26, 2009.
While the troubled economy could lead to fewer attendees and award submissions—in 2008, there were 722 entries from 63 countries—event organizers say they aren't discouraged. "It's not a question of being foolishly optimistic, but of saying that architectural production and architectural thinking don't end when times are bad," says Paul Finch, festival program director and editor emeritus of The Architectural Review. Plus, the projects that will be considered this year likely got under way long before the recession. "There will be all sorts of buildings," Finch says, "that represent years of architectural thinking and activity."
Competition entries are being accepted until June 26 at www.worldarchitecturefestival.com. The fee for the first entry is 545 € ($730); subsequent entries cost 400 € ($535).
Every project submitted is exhibited at the festival and is included in the World Buildings Directory, an online database maintained by Emap. The 15 top finalists in the completed buildings category also vie for the top prize: the World Building of the Year award, which last year was won by Grafton Architects for Luigi Bocconi University in Milan.

Results tagged ' Justin Verlander '
Hall Monitor: Pitching and Home Runs
The last Hall Monitor topic of two 600 home run hitters squaring off in the same game seems so long ago after the week's events. But to follow-up, it did happen on Sunday. Alex Rodriguez and the Yanks met Jim Thome and the Twins marked the A.L.'s first 600 vs. 600. Here's what's happened since:
These go to 11: Just arrived in Cooperstown: Albert Pujols' batting gloves and bat from his 30th home run of 2011 made it to their final destination at the beginning of the week. Pujols deposited his 30th into the PNC Park bleachers on Aug. 16. That historic stroke made the man known as The Machine the first player to hit 30 or more home runs in each of his first 11 seasons.
A pair of sevens: The American League Cy Young favorite is arguably Justin Verlander, and on Monday night he extended a winning streak to seven starts for the second time this season. The Tigers' ace also compiled seven straight victories from May 29 to June 30. Over the last 50, years only three other pitchers have had two streaks of seven or more in the same season. Each led their league in wins and earned the Cy Young Award. Fellow Tiger Denny McLain did it in the first of his back-to-back Cy Young seasons while winning 31 in 1968. Cardinals Hall of Famer Bob Gibson did it in 1970 with 23 wins and the Twins' Frank Viola did it in 1988, winning 24.
Movin' on up: Baseball's active strikeout leader inched his way a little further up the all-time list on Wednesday as the Marlins' Javier Vazquez passed Don Drysdale for 30th place. By striking out 11 Reds, the 34-year-old Vazquez now has 2,494 K's. When Drysdale retied in 1969 he was eighth with 2,486 behind Hall of Fame names like Johnson, Young, Bunning, Spahn, Feller and Keefe. Vazquez should be able to reach 29th this season as Christy Mathewson is just 13 strikeouts away.
Rookie Backstop Power: The Tigers' Rudy York and Matt Nokes, Red Sox Hall of Famer Carlton Fisk, the Dodgers' Mike Piazza and the Cubs' Geovany Soto did it – and now the Blue Jays' J.P Arencibia has too. In a loss to Kansas City Thursday, Arencibia became the sixth rookie to hit 20 home runs as a catcher, joining good company that includes 32 All-Star selections, 14 Silver Sluggers, three Rookie of the Year Award and of course, a Hall of Famer.
A grand old game in the Bronx: Lastly we have an MLB first. Robinson Cano, Russell Martin and Curtis Ganderson literally slammed the Yankees into the record books Thursday when the three made the Bronx Bombers the first team to hit three grand slams in a game. The 22-9 drubbing of the A's made history in a lot of ways.
History notes other than the grand trio include from yesterday's massacre: The Yanks tied a record by having three players with at least five RBIs; they matched the record for largest winning margin by a team which trailed by at least six; they became the fourth team to score at least four runs in four consecutive innings; and Martin is just the second catcher and third Pinstriper, regardless of position, to go 5-for-5 with two home runs and five or more RBIs. He joins current Tigers backstop Victor Martinez who did it as an Indian in 2004 and fellow Yankees Joe DiMaggio (July 9, 1937) and Danny Tartabull (Sept. 8, 1992).
Trevor Hayes is the editorial production manager at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
The Earle of Cooperstown
An American musical icon visited the home of America's National pastime late Thursday as singer-songwriter Steve Earle toured the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, along with his band "The Dukes (and Dutchesses)."
Earle and his bandmates thoroughly enjoyed their tour on the eve of his Friday night performance in Cooperstown at nearby Brewery Ommegang, where he is headlining an Americana festival, also featuring the music of the Felice Brothers and Langhorne Slim.
For Earle, a lifelong diehard Yankees fan, despite his Texas upbringing, the trip to Cooperstown capped his affinity for the game and his fandom.
"I'm not a very good social guest at a baseball game," Earle said as he and his bandmates viewed historic imagery in the Museum's photo collection. "When I go to a game, I tune out everything else to focus on the action on the field. I have no problem eliminating the outside world while at a ballpark."
Also joining the tour were Earle's bandmate and wife, Allison Moorer, and the couple's 18-month-old son, John Henry.
Throughout their summer musical travels, the Dukes have already caught some major baseball moments along the way, including Roy Halladay's heat-fatigued start at Wrigley Field against the Cubs and the drama-filled Angels-Tigers clash in Detroit, featuring a near-no hitter of Justin Verlander and the ejection of Jered Weaver.
In addition to a collections visit to see the storage of three-dimensional items, Earle and the Dukes spent several hours in the Museum Thursday on a day when nearly 3,000 visitors toured Cooperstown, strolling through baseball history. Earle even got an up close view of the promissory note transaction that sent Babe Ruth from Boston to the Yankees.
Tonight, Earle and the Dukes will resume their journey down the road of Americana music, but with the inspiration of the National Game and history fueling their troubadour spirit.

Hall Monitor: Cys, Fourths, Hitters and Winners
Here we are, basically at the halfway point. Many point to the All-Star break as the halfway mark, though that's not entirely true this season. Seventeen teams are slated to play their 90th game tonight. Baltimore has the fewest games played and tonight will be the Orioles' 86th contest. Plenty of storylines are swirling with Albert Pujols' injury, Derek Jeter's quest for 3,000 and much more. Here's how the last week has gone.
The Cy Young Returns: On Sunday, the Blue Jays 2003 AL Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay started in Toronto, wearing a Phillies uniform. The outcome was a complete game victory for Doc in his first start as an opposing pitcher since leaving the Jays. Halladay is the sixth former Cy Young to notch a complete game "W" in his first road start against the team for which he won the Cy Young Award. The others include: Hall of Famers Catfish Hunter as a Yankee a season after leaving Oakland in 1975; Tom Seaver after being traded by the Mets to the Reds in 1977; and 300-game winner Randy Johnson in 1999 as a Diamondback against the Mariners.
First-year Oriole mashers: Before this season, Frank Robinson was the only player to collect 20 home runs by the All-Star break in his first season in Baltimore. He had 21 in 1966, the same year he won the AL MVP Award and the Triple Crown. Robinson now has company as Mark Reynolds hit two home runs on Monday, giving him 20 before the break in his first season in Birdland.
Independence Day Fun: Vance Worley led the red-white-and-blue clad Phillies to a 1-0 victory on the Fourth of July. For fans in the city that is home to the Liberty Bell and Ben Franklin, they can now claim a .500 record on the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. With Hall of Famers from Chuck Klein and Mike Schmidt to Pete Alexander and Steve Carlton, in 201 July 4th games since 1883, Philadelphia's record is now 101-100.
A fellow N.L. East red-white-and-blue team, the Nationals, also won on Monday. The team in the Nation's Capital now sports a .633 winning percentage on the Fourth of July. At 31 wins and 18 losses, it's the best mark for any team with at least 20 Independence Day tilts. Of course, the majority of the franchise's wins came while playing in another country powered by Hall of Famers Gary Carter, Andre Dawson and Dick Williams – though as Les Expos de Montreal, they still wore red-white-and-blue uniforms.
Verlander matching Newhouser: Tiger All-Star Justin Verlander, who's scheduled to throw again this weekend, has been dominant this season, especially so in his last eight starts. After Tuesday, he's thrown at least seven innings and given up two-or-fewer runs in each of his last eight. It's rarified air for Detroit pitchers. In 1945, future Hall of Famer Hal Newhouser put together the only other streak like Verlander's – a nine-game string en route to one of his two MVP Awards.
Youngsters walkin' off: Mike Stanton became the third youngest player to hit a walk-off home run when he went yard in the bottom of the 10th on Wednesday. At 21, Stanton's game-winner gave Florida a 7-6 win over the Phillies. Hall of Famer Eddie Mathews is the youngest, when at 20-years-old he decided a game for the Boston Braves in 1952, also beating the Phillies. Fellow Marlin Alex Gonzalez hit a walk-off homer in 1998 – also 21, but slightly younger than Stanton.

Minecraft- ideas, techniques, etc.
I did a search earlier for "minecraft" and nothing came up, so i figured that i'd make something for anyone who wants to post something cool they found, question about something, or something important that recently happened in their game (first axe, redstone circuit, mob trap, etc)
I'll start off the discussion by asking if you guys have any cool ideas for the person who's getting bored with the game?
no. |

A Minecraft thread on a snowboarding website I am also getting slightly bored with the game I have recently finished building doors that are made with sticky pistons and work on a completely flat wall, I build a church. A floating house in the sky, but I think I am going to be building a village soon. The new 1.8 update is starting to sound really exciting, especially the NPC villages. Do you play with friends or offline?

I see your point. In NC itSubmitted by guesttosite (not verified) on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 12:01am.
I see your point. In NC it would have been legal if the boy had been 16. But unfortunately if he is one day shy of his 16th birthday, then it's a crime. Many teens are curious and want to explore. Is it not possible that he was curious and decided to freak out and make false accusations? YES, that's very possible. Let the jury decide.

Okay, so I got Christopher Hitchens upset. I called him Chris. Not a good idea. Our conversation with the provocative writer today was a bit testy at times, as he took on various religions and people of all faiths. We talked at length about how he felt there were no "takeaway" lines from Barack Obama's inauguration speech - and we agreed that's maybe not a bad thing.
My "takeaway" from a half-hour of Hitchens? Let me put it this way - you'll be entertained if you go see him at the Connecticut Forum next week. I'll leave it at that.
For a less blustery look into what is a pretty brilliant mind - I urge you to read his recent Vanity Fair piece on Salman Rushdie, two decades after the "fatwa" that was declared on him. A taste: He says the Ayatollah Khomeni gave Rushdie's book The Satanic Verses "the single worst review any novelist has ever had."
Funny stuff.
