Do to the long hours worked, and strenuous commutes,more and more people are opting to squeeze there workouts in by exercisingin the comfort of their own homes. There are many advantages to creating your very own home gym. It is shownthat people who have home gym equipment in their homes tend to exercisemore often. Let's also not forget about saving valuable time, and money on monthly health club dues. It seems like all the new estates being built in Los Angeles plan for a room to be used for their own, personal home gym. The only drawbacks to owning a home gym are its overwhelming cost, and space limitations. But wait, maybe not! Sure you can purchase individual stationmachines, a treadmill, a bike, and dozens of free weights. However, is thatreally needed to get outstanding results? Do you have to spend $10,000 plus to get yourself a home gym that really delivers results? The answer is absolutely not! Yes, you can treat yourself to state of the art equipment, but will you get betterresults than a gym which costs less than $100? The answer is no! Being an Exercise Physiologist in Beverly Hills, California, and author of Home Gym Shopping Secrets, I have proved you can achieve outstanding results using a home gym which costs less than $100. I see that proof each and every day whileconsulting with motivated clients throughout Los Angeles, California. What I see daily is people not having the space for many pieces of home gymequipment, or not willing to make a big investment. Listed below is one of many home gym solutions I mention in Home Gym Shopping Secrets. http://www.HomeGymShoppingSecrets.com/ The $100 Home Gym Solution Dave, an Oscar winning screenwriter whom I consult with, uses his $100 home gymtwice per week, and gets amazing results. As a matter of fact, he pays me muchmore each week for my services than he did for his complete home gym. His strength and endurance has tripled over the past year, all while losing 6% body fat. This has all been accomplished using his $100, cost effective, space saving home gym. As a matter of fact, we exerciseoutside, year round, in his driveway! His home gym is comprised of the followingequipment which I have listed below. If your goals and medical history are compatible with this type of program, you too can do something similar. Please refer to Home GymShopping Secrets and Wellness WORD Multimedia Newsletter for additional fitness programming information. **LIST OF EQUIPMENT** 1 Large Swiss Ball That is it; simple as that! Now what you do with all this equipment is specific toyour medical history, and personal, primary goals.

The program Dave uses is more of a core strengthening regimen using various functional movements. We even have him doing in the neighborhoodof 250 pushups throughout his circuit training routine. Just remember, programsare created on an individual basis, and are not so called canned as one routine fits all.

Refine News by Category:Gaming Consoles Posts - Page 20
Microsoft shipped more Xbox 360 units to retailers than Xbox One in Q3
The Microsoft Xbox One game console might have surpassed 5 million units sold, but only managed to ship 1.2 million units to retailers during the third quarter. Astonishingly, the older Xbox 360 outsold the Xbox One for the quarter, as Microsoft continues to struggle to woo consumers to buy its newest game console.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella understands how important the Xbox One is - not just for gaming - but Microsoft's effort to try and take over the living room. However, Microsoft's pledge to continue to provide Xbox 360 support for the next few years might convince gamers to stick with the older console, rather than rush to upgrade.
Meanwhile, Sony is having trouble keeping its top retail partners stocked with the PS4, as the Japanese company topped 7 million units sold. Moving forward, Microsoft will have to shake up its Xbox One bundle further, as Titanfall - which has sold fairly well - didn't lead to a massive sales increase that game analysts warned Microsoft might not see.
Nintendo 3DS gamers can get Mario Golf: World Tour May 2
Nintendo has announced a new video game that will launch on the 3DS portable game console early next month called Mario Golf: World Tour. The official launch date for that game is May 2 and it will be supported on the Nintendo 2DS as well. At launch, the game will ship with ten golf courses to choose from.
Those ten courses will have 126 holes for gamers to play through. Nintendo is also building in a number of multiplayer modes including regional and worldwide tournaments. Nintendo will also be rolling out new DLC for the game with the first new content launching alongside the game on May 2.

Microsoft to deliver its Xbox One to Japan on September 4
After selling 5 million Xbox One consoles to other countries, Microsoft is set to launch its next generation console in Japan on September 4. The company announced its plans today, revealing that it will have more than 40 games for gamers to choose from when it launches in Japan later this year.
There's no pricing just yet, but 48 game developers in the region have expressed interest in developing content for the Xbox One, which will only continue to add to the growing list of games on the Xbox One. Xbox One titles that will be made available in Japan include: Ryse: Son of Rome Ryse, Forza Motorsport 5, Kinect Sports Rivals, Sunset Overdrive, "Halo on Xbox One" and Dead Rising 3.
Better yet, Microsoft Studios' Phil Spencer has teased that there will be some special announcements that will happen alongside the launch of the Xbox One in Japan, and that a well-known Japanese developer is working on an exclusive game for the Xbox One. Spencer also said that the company will make announcements featuring "something never before seen" at the 2014 Tokyo Game Show which takes place between September 18-21.
Microsoft sells 5 million Xbox One units, Sony is now in the lead
Sony has shipped over seven million PS4's to retailers and consumers, but today Microsoft has announced it has sold over five million Xbox One consoles around the world. This means that Sony is in the lead by two million consoles.
Considering both consoles have had some great exclusives, with Titanfall on the Xbox One and inFamous: Second Son on the PS4. There should be a bump in numbers when we see the sales of the Titanfall bundles with the Xbox One, but it is early in the next-gen console war. It should be an interesting picture after E3, and the holiday season at the end of the year.
Nissan PlayStation GT Academy returns for 2014 season
Sony and Nissan have announced that they have teamed up again to bring another season of the Nissan PlayStation GT Academy to gamers around the world. The 2014 season will be the sixth and for the first time Canada will get to participate.
Qualifying will begin online using Gran Turismo 6 and the PS3 on April 21. Participants will compete in virtual races to see who gets the chance to move forward into the real-world competition to see if they can put virtual racing skills to work on a real race track.

Sony has sold more than 7 million PlayStation 4 units globally
Today, Sony announced that its PlayStation 4 console has surpassed 7 million consoles sold globally. Sony says that those numbers are actual consoles sold to consumers, and not just channel inventory. This news means that Sony has sold more than 2 million consoles since February when it announced it had sold 5 million units.
Additionally, Sony announced that PlayStation 4 games had surpassed more than 20.5 million copies sold which is a major milestone for the electronics giant. Unfortunately Microsoft has not released any sales numbers yet, but if recent rumors are correct, Microsoft is lagging quite behind Sony in sales.
The Last of Us Remastered hits PS4 June 20
The first grumblings of The Last of Us coming to the PS4 started late last month. In late March, a Sony manger tipped that the game would be landing this summer for PS4 gamers. He didn't offer a more specific launch window.
We have some new details on the launch of The Last of Us Remastered for the PS4 and these details have come from several major game retailers. Target, Best Buy, and GameFly all list the launch date of The Last of Us Remastered for the PS4 as June 20.

Minecraft retail version for PS3 coming soon
I don't venture into the game store in the local mall that often, but every time I do, at least one kid comes in wanting to know if they can buy a copy of Minecraft. They always get the same snooty answer from the guys working at the store, "It's download only kid."
That will soon change according to a repot that the first retail disc version of Minecraft is coming soon. The disc version will be for the PS3 according to reports and will be on a Blu-ray disc like other PS3 games.

Sony PS4 parts service launches in Japan
Typically, if something goes wrong with your game console, you will need to send it in to get repaired. That's not necessarily the case in Japan for PS4 owners with a new service that lets people pick up basic spare parts for their console.
The spare parts purchase program is directly from Sony and is aimed at local gamers. You can't necessarily pick up any part of the console you might need, but easy to install basic parts are on the list. For instance, you can get a spare HDD cover for around $10.

Microsoft push out yet another update for the Xbox One
Microsoft is pushing another update out for the Xbox One, which includes quite a few new features and improvements. We have the ability of a silent reboot after system updates are installed, and a system update on-demand is now available. That's just scratching the surface, though:
- Game and app saves and updates. A game save progress bar will show you the status of your game saves. You will also be able to easily tell what games and apps are being updated or have been updated recently.
- Friends improvements. Notifications will be added to see when favorites and friends sign in to Xbox Live. This was one of the most frequently requested features, so we made it a priority to include it in this update. Also, friends who are in multiplayer will be identified in the friends list.
- Kinect voice and motion improvements will continue to be fine-tuned for quality and reliability of Xbox One commands. For example, we've updated some of the gesture functionality to reduce false positives on non-hand objects triggering gesture commands.
- Improved GameDVR video quality through compression algorithm improvements.
- Blu-ray player supports 50 Hz video output for content recorded at 50 Hz. We'll also be updating the Blu-ray Player app in the coming days to round out these improvements.
- Controller and headset adaptor firmware updates will reduce audio static and improve wireless connectivity.
- Silent reboot after system updates and system update on demand now available. If your console is in Instant On mode, the update will happen automatically and return to standby upon completion. This means you won't need to power on your console after an update moving forward. If you want to take future updates when available without waiting for your console to do it on its own, we've added this option under system settings and you'll be able to use it next update. It will only show as available when there is an update to take.

Hughes cools Magpies link
11 Jan 2008 - 11:27:24
Blackburn Rovers boss Mark Hughes has distanced himself from the vacant managerial hot-seat at Newcastle United.
The 44-year-old Welshman has been mentioned as a possible replacement for former Magpies boss Sam Allardyce in the challenging post at St James' Park.
But Hughes, who has been in charge of Rovers since September 2004 and has been widely credited with revitalising the fortunes of the Ewood Park club, has played down reports linking him with a move to Tyneside.
"There's always speculation when any big job comes up. I seem to be talked about in good terms and I'm appreciative of that but it's just recognition of the work myself and my staff do here," said the former Wales coach.
"I haven't spoken to anyone from Newcastle. I spoke to my chairman last night and he's had no contact, and I don't think there will be any contact.
"I'm in a very strong position here, I have a great relationship with the chairman and the board and that's really important.
"When managers have that relationship it's a big decision to forego that as the relationship is the key to whether we can be successful."
Meanwhile, Hughes has revealed his surprise at the speed of Allardyce's departure after just eight months into the Newcastle job.
"I think it surprised everyone given the length of tenure of Sam's appointment," he continued.
"It was not anywhere near long enough in my view to enable him to be successful.
"There is a lot of pressure and expectation with a number of Premier League jobs and certainly Sam paid the price.
"But he's a proven Premier League manager and I am sure a lot of chairmen will be keeping an eye on what will happen to him in the future."

Denver Rescue Mission Reviews

The Denver Rescue Mission is the best bet in Metro Denver when it comes to your monetary and gift donations. I've been involved with them for several years and see how lives are changed. So many people think of them as just a soup kitchen. But I have met the folks who participate in their long-term programs, where lives are restored. The cycle of poverty and homelessness is ended because of programs offered by the Denver Rescue Mission.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I am a volunteer who always thought of a homeless person as an old man, pushing a cart filled with his belongings. Since volunteering, I have seen homeless people who have jobs, families and single women. I saw the face of homelessness in Denver.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
I enjoyed working alongside men in the rehabilitation program. To hear their stories about why they were working towards a new life, gave me a new perspective on everthing. Serving meals humbled me. I realized how fortunate I am.

Let's Colour
A couple months ago I received an invitation to Jodhpur, India, to be a part of the Let's Colour project. The idea was to bring colour to community spaces around the world in an effort to encourage the people in those areas.
I got a rush visa and was all set to go but there was a mix-up with my flights and I couldn't get there in time. Lucky for us, award-winning director Adam Berg made it to India (as well as London, Paris, and Rio de Janeiro) and has put together a beautiful look at this inspiring project.
Watch the video below!
Brazil / Title Sequence
I can't believe I didn't know about Art of the Title until now. It is a fantastic site chronicling film title sequences and, if you are into films at all, you will be stuck over there for awhile. I had to watch the titles from Brazil as it's possibly my favourite film of all time (top three anyways), and when I did, I noticed something for the first time.
Below is the sequence of frames that caught my eye – this perfectly illustrates the creativity present throughout the film. A man walks by a window and as he passes it the window explodes and instead of simply jump-cutting to the explosion there is a hand-painted animation of the man exploding for like 7 frames! I love stuff like this – going the extra mile to really sell the illusion in a low-budget/hand-made kinda way. Take a look:
Herbert Baglione
I was gonna post about the amazing artwork of Herbert Baglione and saw that Juxtapoz did me one better and dug up a fantastic interview with Baglione in Sao Paolo, Brazil. The interview is from The Run UP series put together by Fifty24SF Gallery and Upper Playground. Love the opening with Baglione drawing in the sand and the waves erasing the work. "…it's not what you show people but how it makes you feel inside".
I snagged a few images of his work, below:

Yay!! Sunshine is always good And 17C is hot when you still have snow on the ground!?!
We have had quite a bit of rain here lately, today it was nice and sunny until about 2:00, when it started pouring down rain! That was my sign to quit gardening and go back inside haha. Now it's nice again. It's supposed to be nice tomorrow, which is good, we have the annual Langley Walk, which is just a walk started like 60 years ago to promote family fitness, the route changes every year, it winds through the streets and trails of Langley City and Langley Township. We missed last year, so I'm excited to go tomorrow. My family and a whole bunch of my friends all come too.
I am in BC as well - Coquitlam area. I am liking the warmer weather, but our heat is touchy. It's either BOILING or FREEZING in here at night. lol Can't wait to move!

Stephania Bell: Chad Billingsley
Every Monday, in this space, we'll provide updates on a variety of players to help you make your weekly lineup decisions. We'll specifically try to hit the players who are day-to-day, have just gone on the DL or are ready to return, so that you can better decide whether you can count on them or not.
All projected return timelines should be considered fluid.
[+] Enlarge
Victor Decolongon/Getty ImagesFantasy owners will have to keep a close eye on Albert Pujols' foot in the upcoming days.
Ryan Zimmerman, 3B, Washington Nationals (placed on DL April 20): Zimmerman had been experiencing cramping in his left hamstring for several days before being forced out of last Wednesday's game early. He did not play Friday or Saturday, instead undergoing an MRI, which led to placement on the DL. While it sounds as if the strain is not serious, it was hampering him not only with his running but also while hitting. Manager Davey Johnson noted Zimmerman was not comfortable landing on his left leg when hitting. One has to wonder if some of his recent throwing inconsistencies can also be attributed, at least in part, to discomfort in his left leg. According to Amanda Comak of the Washington Times, the Nationals are hopeful that Zimmerman will only miss the minimum time, but hamstrings can be finicky. The key for the Nationals is preventing this from turning into a bigger injury, undoubtedly part of the rationale for a DL placement.
Dan Uggla, 2B, Atlanta Braves (DTD): Sometimes being a veteran means understanding when to take yourself out of a game proactively. It appears Uggla did just that on Saturday when he felt something in his left calf while trying to run out a ground ball. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Uggla let manager Fredi Gonzalez know he was having discomfort in the calf and was concerned it could get worse if he stayed in the game. Uggla then sat out Sunday's game also but was hopeful he could return Monday. Calf strains tend to be increasingly prevalent as athletes move into their thirties (Lance Berkman, Derek Jeter, Albert Pujols) and early rest may be the best medicine in trying to minimize downtime.
Asdrubal Cabrera, SS, Cleveland Indians (DTD): Slipping on the dugout steps is not how an athlete wants to incur an injury. Unfortunately that's precisely how Cabrera ended up with a contusion of his left wrist, and it's lucky it wasn't worse. X-rays taken of his wrist were negative, but as the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reported, it started to bother Cabrera during Saturday's game, so he came out early. Falls on an outstretched hand can often result in a fracture of the forearm or wrist bones but it appears Cabrera escaped both. He sat out Sunday's game and could sit longer if the wrist is still painful so fantasy owners should monitor his status daily.
Kevin Youkilis, 3B, New York Yankees (DTD): When Youkilis left Saturday's game early because of tightness in his lower back, those familiar with his history may have been a little nervous. That concern would be justified because Youkilis has a fairly extensive history of low back problems including an episode, which required a trip to the DL in 2011. This flare-up appears to be of the minor variety with manager Joe Girardi telling reporters he thinks Youkilis will be available Monday night.
Shane Victorino, OF, Boston Red Sox (DTD): Victorino also left Saturday's game early due to tightness in his lower back. He sat out Sunday's doubleheader but is expected to return to the lineup Monday. Early Sunday, manager John Farrell had considered using Victorino in the second game, suggesting he was making rapid improvements. Ultimately he was given all of Sunday off but it appears he will be back to face the Oakland Athletics.
Freddie Freeman, 1B, Atlanta Braves (placed on DL April 7, activated April 22): It looks as if the decision to rest Freeman early -- despite his displeasure -- has paid off. ESPN's Jim Bowden reported Monday that manager Frank Wren indicated Freeman has been activated and is ready to play against the Colorado Rockies on Monday night. Freeman had been sidelined with a right oblique strain, but it was always considered minor; the Braves were trying to ensure that it remained that way. After a couple of uneventful rehab games, Freeman has been deemed ready to return.
Michael Saunders, OF, Seattle Mariners (placed on DL April 11, could return late in week): A crash into the outfield wall resulted in a sprained right shoulder for Saunders. Although the team did not issue a timetable initially, it looked as if it could sideline him for an extended time. There are some encouraging signs that Saunders is progressing nicely however, most notably that he took batting practice last Friday. According to Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times, Saunders hopes to return when eligible (April 26) but will need to test throwing with his injured shoulder first. One of the most difficult things to do after an injury such as this is raise the arm completely overhead. Throwing with power will perhaps present more of a challenge than hitting so fantasy owners should monitor his activity closely throughout the week.
Jhoulys Chacin, SP, Colorado Rockies (placed on DL retroactive to April 20): Chacin was off to a solid start but has been sidelined with a lower back strain that forced him out of Friday's game early. According to the Rockies' official website, Chacin is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday. As for now there is no timetable for his return in place. The Rockies have recalled right-hander Rob Scahill from Triple-A Colorado Springs to take his place.[+] Enlarge
David Banks/USA TODAY SportsKyuji Fujikawa could be back this week to boost the Cubs' bullpen.
Brett Myers, SP, Cleveland Indians (placed on DL April 21): Myers has been fighting some tendinitis in his throwing elbow, but the picture has recently become more complex. The Indians announced via Twitter that Myers was placed on the DL Sunday with tendinitis and a mild UCL sprain. The report also indicated Myers would be shut down for two weeks and would not throw until symptom free. While the suggestion that the UCL sprain is minor is encouraging, it ultimately comes down to function. The fact that Myers experienced a drop in velocity is worrisome, but he also indicated he was not having any pain while pitching. At the very least, fantasy owners should expect him to miss four to six weeks (shutdown time followed by throwing progression), although the timeline ultimately will be dictated by how his elbow responds.
Ted Lilly, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers (opened season on DL, expected return April 24): Lilly underwent a labral repair of his left (throwing) shoulder last September and was slowed in the spring by the flu. He felt he was ready to pitch in the majors when Zack Greinke went down with a clavicle fracture, but the Dodgers preferred to keep him on a rehab assignment, moving Chris Capuano to the starting rotation instead. As it turns out, Capuano was moved to the DL with a calf strain last week and Lilly was able to get some extra innings under his belt. According to Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times, Lilly has confirmed he will start Wednesday against the New York Mets. Given the Dodgers' starter woes, a healthy -- and effective -- Lilly is badly needed.
Chad Billingsley, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers (placed on DL retroactive to April 16, could be out for the season): Did we mention the Dodgers are having some woes with their starting rotation? It looked initially as if Billingsley had survived the scare with his throwing elbow that cropped up last season. He underwent PRP injections in the fall, rested his right elbow, then resumed a progressive throwing program. The Dodgers waited during the offseason, expecting perhaps a bump in the road to recovery as often happens with partial UCL tears, but nothing went wrong with the elbow ... until now.
Billingsley managed well all through the spring but had a delayed start to the 2013 season due to a bruised index finger sustained while he was attempting a bunt. He eventually joined the rotation April 10 but it wouldn't last long. After two starts, Billingsley experienced some renewed elbow pain and now finds himself back on the DL. The bigger concern is that this may signal the beginning of the end of his season. If in fact the UCL tear has progressed to the point where Billingsley cannot function well enough to throw, he will be headed for Tommy John surgery. Given the recovery time from reconstructive elbow surgery, Billingsley stands a chance of losing time into next season if he does not address it quickly. No one wants to send an athlete to surgery when it isn't warranted and there will undoubtedly be careful evaluation of all sides of the equation, but the writing seems to be on the wall. Don't count on seeing Billingsley back in the lineup anytime soon, if at all.
Shaun Marcum, SP, New York Mets (placed on DL April 1, could return late this week): Marcum has been sidelined since the start of the month with what the team called "nerve inflammation" in his neck. After receiving injections early to help with pain and inflammation, Marcum has been on a slow and steady rehab course. There have been no reports of any setbacks thus far, an encouraging sign. According to ESPN New York's Kieran Darcy, Marcum will throw 70-75 pitches in a rehab outing Monday and, if all goes well, could return to face the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. This is all positive news for Marcum and the Mets, but it is worth noting that these types of ailments lend themselves to recurrence.
Brett Anderson, SP, Oakland Athletics (DTD): Anderson has been contending with a sprained right ankle, which resulted in a shortened appearance Friday and a complete day of rest Saturday. Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that Anderson threw a bullpen Sunday, which went well, and he appears "likely" to make his Wednesday start. The biggest concern with an ankle sprain on the landing leg of a pitcher is that it not throw off his mechanics and risk injury to his throwing arm. The A's must like what they see if they're considering a prompt return.
Given the number of pitchers who are entering 2013 coming off injuries to their throwing arms, we decided to craft a quick status update list on some of the more intriguing names as the season gets underway. Given that some of these players still have a ways to go in their recovery, consider the timeline fluid and subject to change. For the purposes of ascertaining where these players stand coming out of spring training however, this is our guide.
With elbow surgery becoming virtually commonplace in pitchers, we almost take for granted that they will return to their prior level of performance. But the complexity of the surgery and the variables which can impact recovery affect each athlete differently and should not be overlooked. For more detail on the process of ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction, commonly referred to as Tommy John (TJ) surgery, please see below.
Starting Pitchers
[+] Enlarge
William Perlman/THE STAR-LEDGER/US PresswireCC Sabathia's 200 innings last season were the fewest he's thrown since the 2006 season, which is also the last time he's had as few as 28 starts.
Brandon Beachy, RHP, Atlanta Braves: TJ surgery, June 21, 2012. Has thrown several bullpens this spring without incident; will continue on throwing progression with targeted return in June/July.
Chad Billingsley, RHP, Los Angeles Dodgers: elbow inflammation and sprained UCL in 2012. Underwent PRP injections in fall and threw eight bullpens in offseason without incident, saying his elbow felt "normal" entering the spring; this spring he has sustained a groin ailment and a bruised index finger; Billingsley is still hopeful to start the season on time or close to it, but the recent history of a partial UCL tear warrants caution.
Jaime Garcia, LHP, St. Louis Cardinals: rotator cuff tear (small), no surgery, injured June 2012. Garcia opted for rehab over surgery and so far it seems to be working out for him; his shoulder has not given him any trouble this spring and he is expected to be ready to start the season as a part of the Cards rotation. The concern is whether his shoulder will hold up to a full season of pitching demands.
Daniel Hudson, RHP, Arizona Diamondbacks: TJ surgery, July 9, 2012. Has been making steady progress and threw his first bullpen the last week of March; targeting a return around the All-Star Break.
C.J. Wilson, LHP, Los Angeles Angels: surgery to address bone spur, Oct. 23, 2012. Has had no issues with the elbow this spring, although his performance has not been up to par; the latter should improve and his overall durability record should be an encouraging sign going forward.
Colby Lewis, RHP, Texas Rangers: flexor tendon repair, July 27, 2012. Progress has been steady and, after throwing bullpen sessions this spring, he is hoping to progress to live batting practice in early April; so far he remains on track for a late May/early June return. If he continues to progress this well, there could be a nice second half of the season in store.
Michael Pineda, RHP, New York Yankees: labral repair, May 1, 2012. Began throwing from a mound in February and added some breaking pitches in March; he won't be ready to return until around the middle of the season but he seems to be committed to the rehab and to being in better shape in general (reportedly having dropped about 20 pounds by this spring); it remains to be seen whether he can rediscover his dominant style but he's young enough that there's a reason to believe he can.
Ted Lilly, LHP, Los Angeles Dodgers: labral repair, Sep. 21, 2012. Lilly has been remarkably durable but all good things must come to an end; his shoulder issues required surgery and at age 37 it's hard to know just how he'll bounce back; his spring outings have been limited by flu complications and he'll likely start the season on the DL with a chance to continue to progress his arm; hard to count on when his status appears uncertain.
Scott Baker, RHP, Chicago Cubs: TJ surgery April 17, 2012. Made spring debut in mid-March but inflammation afterward resulted in a shutdown for at least a month; will have to gradually resume throwing and continue to build strength. No firm timetable but could miss first couple months of season.
John Danks, LHP, Chicago White Sox: shoulder surgery Aug. 6, 2012. The surgery was for debridement of biceps tendon and rotator cuff and to repair a small capsular tear. Danks threw bullpens and live batting practice sessions this spring without incident but, as is often the case, struggled in game outings, particularly with velocity. Will open the season on the DL and it's unclear just how long he'll stay there.
John Lackey, RHP, Boston Red Sox: TJ surgery Nov. 1, 2011. If there's an upside to tearing your ulnar collateral ligament late in the year it's that you benefit from the season schedule to gain extra recovery time; Lackey is now almost 17 months post-surgery so recovery is not an issue, but he'll still need to regain the feel of competitive throwing; results may be inconsistent initially but he should be able to get through a full season.
Cory Luebke, LHP, San Diego Padres: TJ surgery and flexor tendon repair, May 23, 2012. Experienced some pain in his reconstructed elbow this spring, forcing a temporary shutdown. This is not unusual but it reinforces the notion that these recoveries cannot be rushed; his timetable suggests a return around midseason but that could always fluctuate, as could his performance in the early stages.

Casey Janssen, RHP, Toronto Blue Jays: AC joint surgery Nov. 16, 2012. Progressed slowly this spring but has recently gained ground and appears ready for Opening Day; his overall workload has been light so will need to see how he responds in season, but the Jays have help if he needs an occasional day off.
Ryan Madson, RHP, Los Angeles Angels: TJ surgery, April 2012. Experienced some soreness this spring and had to be scaled back; will open the season on the DL but may not stay there long. Now that the arm is feeling better, he still needs to build some endurance and currently looks on track to return at some point in April.
Sergio Santos, RHP, Toronto Blue Jays: labral debridement surgery, July 24, 2012. Expected to be ready for Opening Day. Other than some minor triceps soreness this spring, has had a smooth progression back to the mound; Janssen is expected to function as the Jays' closer but Santos could get opportunities if Janssen is initially unable to tolerate a full workload.
Joakim Soria, RHP, Texas Rangers: TJ surgery April 2, 2012. This is Soria's second TJ surgery, making the road to recovery less certain, but so far the process has been smooth. He began throwing long toss in early October and from a mound in February, added breaking pitches in March and appears headed for a late May/early June return.
Tommy John Surgery: An updated primer
Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) Reconstruction was originally performed by Dr. Frank Jobe in 1974 and is now known by the name of Jobe's first subject, pitcher Tommy John. It has become such a part of the baseball vernacular that it's a common topic of discussion amongst even casual fans. That doesn't mean there isn't more to learn about optimizing the surgical techniques or the rehab process to help ensure success or, more importantly, how to ultimately prevent or even reduce the incidence of these injuries.
The basics: The UCL is not a simple ligament. It is comprised of three bands which blend together to reinforce the medial (inner) elbow joint and runs from the medial epicondyle of the humerus (a bony prominence on the arm bone) to the medial forearm bone (ulna). Not all tears are created equal. In fact, it is rarely the case where the ligament is completely blown out. A partial tear in a critical location however can make it virtually impossible to throw because of pain, loss of control, or both. This is one of the reasons an MRI does not tell the entire picture; clinical examination will substantiate any instability in the elbow and the athlete needs to have symptoms of a magnitude sufficient to warrant surgery. This is not a procedure one enters into lightly given the intensive recovery time. One of the reasons a trial of conservative therapy is typically the first option when there is a suspected UCL tear (beyond the obvious scenario where the athlete's injury was mild and he recovers enough to return to play), is to validate for all involved the need for surgical repair.
The procedure: Typically a tendon is harvested from the forearm (most common) to serve as the replacement ligament. The tendon of choice (palmaris longus) is not present in everyone (hence the reason removing it will not hinder the athlete's function) in which case the option becomes a hamstring tendon. The surgeon drills holes in the bone (tunnels) where the new "ligament" will be implanted. In a fancy method of looping the ligament through the tunnels and tying it together, along with repairing the remaining components of the original ligament for reinforcement, the reconstruction is performed. One tricky element involves the location of the ulnar nerve in the forearm. This nerve runs adjacent to the ligament and supplies the fourth and fifth fingers in the hand. In other words, if the nerve becomes compromised, the athlete could lose feeling and muscular function in that area. (Ulnar neuritis, inflammation of the nerve, is not an uncommon ailment amongst pitchers simply due to the stress on the nerve from pitching.) Surgeons take great care to protect the nerve during surgery and in some cases will actually transpose (move the location of) the nerve to another spot on the forearm. Even when care is taken, complications related to the nerve are a risk factor with this surgery.

The unknowns: It is unclear just how much an athlete should throw in his first season returning from this procedure. Look no further than the case of Stephen Strasburg in 2012 to find arguments on either side of the Nationals' decision to shut him down early. The fact is there is no definitive research at present to outline a specific number of pitches to target or other such criteria for the first year post-surgery. There is some consensus amongst the medical community that the reconstructed ligament is stronger in the second year following the procedure.
Return to prior level of function, especially at the professional level, is remarkably high. Life expectancy of the reconstructed ligament, however, is unknown and may depend on a number of factors including severity of the injury and whether any of the athlete's original ligament remained intact. In recent years there has been an increase in athletes undergoing a second UCL reconstruction but the numbers are still small making meaningful analysis challenging. Based on preliminary research, it appears the success rate (defined as return to prior level of function) following a second procedure is significantly lower. It also appears that pitchers returning to a relief role fare better than those attempting to return as starters.
The prospect of facing Tommy John surgery is not viewed as career-threatening as it once was but it is still a daunting process. Although many athletes return to their prior level of function, it is not an easy path. Non-pitchers can return at a slightly faster rate, although outfielders may require additional time to make the biggest throws (outfield to home without a cutoff). For pitchers, even after they return to action, there is a high degree of variability as to when they actually return to form. As many similarities as there are among surgical techniques and rehabilitation programs, there are just as many individual variables which make each athlete's recovery unique. Prior injury history, overall tissue health, specific biomechanical demands of the athlete, follow-through with rehab and the surgical procedure itself can all impact the pace and the degree of recovery. In the end, outcomes are largely favorable but nothing should be taken for granted.
Billingsley scratched from start, has MRI
July, 16, 2012
Stephania Bell | ESPN.com
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Chad Billingsley was scratched from his Sunday start due to pain in his elbow. According to the Dodgers' website, Billingsley underwent an initial MRI on Sunday, which he said showed "flexor muscle and inflammation strain or whatever you want to call it."
[+] Enlarge
Jeff Gross/Getty ImagesChad Billingsley is 4-9 with a 4.30 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP this season.
The terms he used don't matter much, though, because Billingsley was expected to undergo a second MRI on Monday in order to, as he put it, "get a little bit of a better view of it." Once those results have been reviewed, there should be further indication from the team as to next steps, including whether a trip to the DL is in order.
Billingsley did not have a sudden onset of elbow pain. Apparently, he has been having discomfort for a couple of weeks but didn't mention the issue until a Saturday bullpen session. Perhaps the most notable comment from manager Don Mattingly related to his disappointment with Billingsley for keeping his symptoms from the medical staff. Mattingly acknowledged the ongoing challenge of trying to get players to speak to medical personnel as soon as something crops up but astutely noted, "They can't really help you if you don't talk to them."
It's a scary week in the land of fantasy baseball when you drop three places in your league's standings with less than a month to go until the playoffs. It's a terrifying week in the world of real baseball when three players get dropped by high-speed balls connecting with their heads.
The topic of batting-helmet protection was front and center last week when a New York Times article discussed the potential introduction of a new, reportedly safer helmet. The new helmets, designed with the goal of increasing protection for the player's head and its very important contents (yes, the brain), were largely rejected by players in an informal sample survey because of their "look." Many players found them unsightly, and Mets outfielder Jeff Francoeur was quoted as saying, "I am absolutely not wearing that ... We're going to look like a bunch of clowns out there."
Interestingly, Mets third baseman David Wright spoke in favor of the new helmets, saying, "If it provides more protection, then I'm all for it. I'm not worried about style or looking good out there. I'm worried about keeping my melon protected."
In a twist of irony, Wright was one of the three players to suffer a baseball to the head this past week. The image of Wright lying motionless on the ground was disturbing, emphasizing the point of just how serious these injuries can be. Also injured was Dodgers pitcher Hiroki Kuroda, who was without the benefit of any head protection as he took a comebacker to the forehead while on the mound. The third player hit, Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler, was fortunate to escape a concussive injury when he was hit in the head by a pitch in the eighth inning of his first game back from the DL for a hamstring strain. While Kinsler was able to stay in the game, Kuroda and Wright are still recovering. It will be interesting to see if any players rethink their position on a safer helmet now.
Meanwhile, fantasy players might be wondering when, or even if, these athletes will be able to return. With that in mind, we take a closer look at their injuries and other updates around the league.

Kyle Terada/US PresswireKuroda had an impressive 1.15 WHIP period to getting hurt.
Nonetheless, all precautions will be taken before returning Kuroda to the mound, including the elimination of all symptoms at rest, followed by elimination of all symptoms with physical exertion and normalization of neurocognitive tests (which measure brain function). Although the Dodgers are optimistic that Kuroda will be able to play again this season, a 15-day absence would not come as a surprise.
David Wright, 3B, Mets: It's unfortunate that Wright felt "embarrassment" over his delegation to the DL in the wake of a frightening concussion. Athletes go to the DL for a multitude of reasons, and while some might debate the merit of any given athlete's injury warranting extended rest, it seems reasonable to think that a brain injury would qualify as unarguably serious. After all, concussions are brain injuries by definition, and there is no room for trying to "tough it out" when dealing with the brain. Wright's desire to be there every day is admirable, as is his work ethic, even in the face of his team's disastrous season. That aside, his protection not only of his athletic future but of his overall well-being could depend on how he proceeds.
The good news is that Wright seems to be feeling remarkably well, considering how he looked at the time of injury. But subjective reports can be misleading, and Wright no doubt will undergo neurocognitive tests that will help assess his readiness to return. One of the challenges with concussions is that seriousness cannot be determined at the time of injury, and symptoms do not necessarily correlate with loss of consciousness. In fact, loss of consciousness is not required in order to sustain a concussion. Just ask Hiroki Kuroda. Although statements suggesting Wright's season could be over might have been premature, there is really no way to determine how long he will be out. This is a day-to-day evaluation, and Wright, along with fantasy owners, will need to be patient.
Chad Billingsley, P, Dodgers: Tuesday night was a test ... and it's safe to say Billingsley passed it. In an amazingly quick return after a Grade 2 hamstring strain, he delivered a solid performance, allowing only three hits while securing a win for the Dodgers. It certainly looks as if there are no lingering worries about the hamstring.
On the mend...
• It certainly appears as if Roy Oswalt's back is still bothering him. He has not been himself in his past two outings, both of which came after a flare-up of a bulging disc in his back. While Oswalt says he's feeling pretty good, that does not necessarily translate to full strength. It would be surprising if his symptoms completely disappeared this quickly after an episode that was severe enough to warrant a cortisone shot. Whether he continues to progress -- both in terms of how he feels and his performance -- or whether he just guts it out for the rest of the season remains to be seen.• Peavy update! ... White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy is one step closer to making a start for his new team. He made his first rehab start last week and delivered three scoreless innings. Not bad for a guy who has not been on the mound since June. He told the Chicago Tribune that while his ankle is "certainly not 100 percent ... it's getting there." He said he still lacked leg strength, which is understandable after coming off a six-week immobilization of his ankle to allow his tendon to heal. Peavy will use his additional rehab starts to build his endurance before appearing in a major league start. Right now he still appears on track for a late August or early September return.
• Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka is gradually working his way back toward a major league return. He is expected to make a minor league rehab start soon after a couple of successful bullpen outings. As the Providence Journal reports, manager Terry Francona is particularly encouraged by the fact that Matsuzaka was able to continue to increase his intensity. Although no specific timetable is in place, if Dice-K continues along this path without a setback he could be eligible to rejoin the team sometime in September. The unknown will be whether his arm endurance will suffice to minimize the Red Sox's dependence on the bullpen.
• Meanwhile, Matsuzaka's teammate Tim Wakefield is hopeful about returning to the mound, but the jury is still out as far as the medical staff is concerned. He has been limited by weakness in his leg resulting from a bulging disc affecting his sciatic nerve. Although he says he thinks he can go, as The Boston Globe reports, the Red Sox have to evaluate the potential risk of his condition worsening and how that could affect not only this season but also his future. Wakefield has been throwing and participating in running workouts, but is still limping, a sign that his calf muscle strength is still compromised. Originally scheduled for a rehab start in Pawtucket on Friday, he might have to put that on hold depending on the outcome of his conversation with team doctors.
• Braves pitcher Tim Hudson continues his progression back from Tommy John surgery, which was slowed a bit recently due to a hamstring strain. He has recovered enough to move to rehab starts, and his improvement has been steady. He is already throwing in the low 90s as he works out the kinks of adjusting to his reconstructed elbow. Hudson's services could be available to the team in September.
[+] Enlarge
G Fiume/Getty ImagesOh Carlos. If only recovery was determined by the spirit of the player.
• Beltran's teammate, shortstop Jose Reyes, continues to receive therapy treatments to address the scar tissue in the region of his ailing hamstring. The Mets have been very quiet on this front lately. In this case, the saying "no news is good news" does not apply. Although the team has not made any definitive statement with regard to his status, it's hard to imagine him returning this season.
• As if the Mets needed any more disappointments or setbacks, first baseman Carlos Delgado, recovering from May hip surgery at age 37, now has a strained right oblique. Although it's not altogether uncommon for an athlete to suffer a muscle strain while working his way back from surgery, the reality of this latest ailment is that it makes his return this season look all the less likely. And to think just a few weeks ago he looked like the most likely to return of the Mets trio.

UK Release Date:
2014-01-31 |
Square Enix's financial report for the year ended March 31 has dropped, with the Japanese software giant confirming Tomb Raider, Thief and Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD all experienced 'favorable' sales.
The company didn't divulge exact figures for the three games, though gamers may recall that the original version of Tomb Raider failed to meet Square's expectations despite having shifted over three million copies in its first month on sale.
It did, however, finally turn a profit in early 2014.
In addition, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn posted "favorite progress" following its launch on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.
Square posted a net income of 6.5 billion yen ($65 million) in comparison to the 13,714 yen loss reported last year. The firm's digital sector - of which FFXIV is a pat of - recorded net sales of 94,571 yen, marking an increase of 5.7 per cent from the previous financial year.
Operating income, meanwhile, clocked in at 10,709 yen compared to the 44 million yen posted in 2013.

Pothos cutting not rooting help (pic included)
I cut this clipping of this plant and placed it in the water for two weeks and it's nodes aren't growing at all. I'm afraid if I keep It longer in the water it might start rotting? I always change its water. Should I put the cutting in dirt instead? Can anyone give me some advice please on propagating this plant. I'm not 100% sure if this cutting is pothos or philodendron. Also, I circled the nodes in the picture.
It's Pothos (Epipremnum.) Laying it in a bowl like that is a little unconventional. Usually the leaves are kept out of the water completely. I might remove the lone mid-stem leaf and put the whole stem in something like a wine bottle. Whatever you decide, when you see which node is going to take root first, then you can put it in a pot horizontally, curled like that. Pinning it to the soil surface instead of actually burying would increase the chances of the other nodes taking root, resulting in more new tips. Doesn't look at all like it's going to rot to me, just needs more time.
As long as it still has a green leaf and the stem is not slimyrotten, it will still root. It looks to me like its going to root. I think they root faster if you can keep the water from getting too cold. I have had them take longer than a month to root.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- LeBron James is playing at such a high level, not even a triple-double impresses him anymore.
"As an individual, I didn't feel I played particularly well," he said after the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Portland Trail Blazers 88-80 on Monday night. "If you didn't play well and you have a triple-double, something is wrong. I could have played better."
Just about everyone else who saw the game would beg to differ.
James had 24 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in his seventh triple-double of the season as the Cavaliers rallied in the second half. It is the 17th triple-double of his career.
James was in the minority when it came to his assessment of his performance. Wally Szczerbiak, who joined the Cavaliers in a Feb. 21 trade, laughed when told of James' comments.
"It's scary, it really is," he said. "It's pretty special being on this team and seeing him day in and day out. Being able to watch it, the fans are probably watching the best basketball player in the world. It's arguable between him and Kobe [Bryant], and I'm going to argue for him every day."
James, who has scored 20 or more points in 41 straight games, also recorded the 100th double-double of his career.
"LeBron obviously was phenomenal," Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said.
The Cavaliers were down by 13 points in the second quarter and didn't take their first lead until late in the third. Szczerbiak's two free throws with 8:03 left broke a 69-all tie and gave Cleveland the lead for good.
James hit a key 3-pointer and made six free throws down the stretch. His bounce pass in the lane led to Anderson Varejao's dunk, giving Cleveland a six-point lead with 1:16 to play. On Cleveland's next possession, James found an open Szczerbiak, who hit a 15-footer for an 85-77 lead with 42 seconds left.
"I was able to find Andy on the dunk and find Wally on the shot," James said. "I grabbed some rebounds. We pretty much put the game away in the last 2½ minutes."
The Trail Blazers accomplished their strategy of making James give up the ball, but that worked to the Cavaliers' advantage.
"We tried to do some things to take the ball out of LeBron's hands, but he did a good job getting it to his teammates and they made plays," said guard Brandon Roy. "When they play well off him, they're a tough team to stop down the stretch."
Joe Smith, playing in place of Ben Wallace, who missed the second half with back spasms, scored 12 of his 18 points in the second half.
LaMarcus Aldridge led Portland with 25 points and had 10 rebounds. Roy added 15 points.
The Cavaliers forced Portland into a shot-clock violation and two turnovers in the final 2 minutes.
"Their defense tightened up and we couldn't score," Portland coach Nate McMillan said. "You can't turn the ball over or come down with as many empty trips as we did in the second half."
After the Cavs trailed the entire game, Varejao's 3-point play with 9.2 seconds left in the third quarter gave them a 62-61 lead. Roy's free throw tied it going into the fourth.
Portland led the entire first half. Portland's biggest lead came at 27-14 early in the second quarter. Aldridge scored 17 points in the half on 8-for-12 shooting.
Wallace was scoreless with five rebounds in 15 minutes in the first half. Cleveland is already playing without center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who has missed the past five games because of a strained back.
Wallace doesn't know if the back will keep him out of any further action.
"I really can't tell right now," he said. "We'll have to work on it and see if we can loosen it up."
Game notes
The Cavaliers (37-27) are 10 games over .500 for the first time this season. ... James thinks Miami star Dwyane Wade made the right decision to sit out the rest of the season because of a recurring knee injury. "With the situation they're in, they're not going to make the playoffs, so I think he should shut it down," James said. ... Greg Oden, the No. 1 pick in last year's draft who played one season at Ohio State, watched the game in street clothes. He's out for the season because of knee surgery.
