Exercise your right to exercise!
Ha! The inset picture is looking up that fattie's skirt! Or mumu, or whatever.As much as politically correct children's programming would have you believe otherwise, outward appearances are possibly the most important thing to consider when judging something. Much can be learned by looking at an object or person and making wild, outrageous generalizations based on the first thing you notice. Historically, man had operated this way for thousands of years, until some brainiacs decided that the practice of blindly degrading things based on look was morally wrong. This system stems from man's most basic instincts however, and was used by the filthy injuns for survival when they still roamed the land free range. If you were out in the woods and you encountered a local creature such as a ravenous bear or a hungry, hungry hippo, the first response you'd have would be fear. Fear of being eaten. Looking at the large body and massive, gaping maw would send chills down your spine. It doesn't matter if the bear rides a unicycle for the amusement of orphans in its spare time because, based on its horrifying exterior, it's best to assume that Gentle Ben is probably going to want to eat you. The same is true of fat people. Oh sure, they might be "nice people" on the "inside", but are you going to care about that when a fat person breaks down your door in a fit of hunger-fueled rage to eat your chocolate...or your children? Avoiding that horrifying situation entirely is best, and the only way to do that is to stay away from fatties.
Blatant stereotypes like this are just why it is so very important to exercise regularly! No one wants to associate themselves with someone who looks like they have pancake syrup flowing through their veins. And since the calendar seems to insinuate that it's June, that means Summer is here. And summer is no place for fatties! But many people don't have the faintest idea on how to start an exercise program and lose those extra flabby, disgusting rolls of fat. But never fear, because the fitness experts at Something Awful have put down their bags of pork rinds and bottomless mugs of cola to provide you this simple guide to getting fit!
Step 1: Stop eating, pudgy!The reason you're so fat is probably because you eat a massive supply of food. Food which could be going to better use in areas like Somalia, where it would provide me with endless entertainment when I tie it to a string and pull it away when a starving citizen attempted to dive for the delicious morsel. Whine about glandular problems all you want, but that fistful of cheesecake you just crammed down your throat isn't helping your increasingly Rosie O'Donnel like figure. Washing it down with extra heavy cream probably didn't help either, but I'm no expert! The best thing for you to do is to cut off food entirely, especially you ladies. Girls, if you think you need to lose weight, you do! Don't fool yourself into thinking eating salad is healthy. You'll never look like ideal woman Calista Flockhart or famous 80s sitcom star Tracy Gold with all that fattening lettuce sitting in your portly gut!Lovely.Step 2: Join a gym, you slob!
Now that you've gotten on a proper diet of absolutely nothing, it's time to go work that flab off at the gym! These have nothing to do with Slim Jims, a subject I'm sure you fatsos are familiar with. Instead, a gym is a place where you can go to work out. While your choices may seem overwhelming at first, selecting a gym isn't very hard. The first thing you should look for is a place with doors wide enough to fit you. Once you locate one, check out the equipment and environment. Many popular features at gyms are pools, saunas, and aerobics classes. Still, always be wary. If the sauna you just walked into smells like cake, chances are that you accidently stumbled into the local bakery again, chubby! Resist the urge to tear the place apart with your jabber jaw and return to a gym. It's best just to pick a place that you feel comfortable in. While it won't be easy finding a gym adorned with Pop N' Fresh posters, I'm sure you'll eventually find one to call home. The gym will cost you about $300 per year, which helps you lose weight in and of itself by slashing resources which would otherwise go to your ample candy bar fund.Step 3: Pick a program, and stick with it like frosting to your sausage-like fingers.
After you choose your gym, you have to actually start using it. A wild concept for most of you, I'm sure, but hear me out. You should go at least three times a week, and make a plan for yourself of exercises on each day. Learn what the different activities do for you, and start sweating. At first, you'll most likely start to feel the burn right away, like when you walk from your car to the gym. But as you work at it, things will get easier for your pathetic body. Though you may feel more comfortable at the juice bar, or the Taco Bell across the street, or collapsed on the floor, you should stick with the commitment you made. Stay dedicated to it, unlike you did to your failed marriage.Step 4: Keep your cool in the face of adversity.
Ok, so it's been a few weeks and you're not seeing any results. People are still calling you nasty names like Lard Lad or Beefytits, and your girlfriend isn't calling you because she's imaginary. But it's alright, because you're sticking to your guns and you're gonna make it happen. At this point, it's best to double or even quadruple your efforts at the gym, going anywhere from six to twelve days per week. Although you can't reduce your food intake, since technically you shouldn't be eating at this point, you can do the opposite of eating by vomiting at any chance you get. Bonus points because you actually get to taste something for the first time in weeks! Results should be coming any day now, I swear!Flame away, tubby!Step 5: Give up.I lied. It was your fucking genes, fatty. By the time you start to see any results, it'll be winter already and you'll be able to hide yourself under loose clothes and heavy blankets again. So just fucking stop trying already. You make me sick.
I hope that advice was helpful to all you plus sized powerhouses out there! As a naturally thin guy who maintains a steady weight despite eating fast food every day of my life and not exercising, I can honestly say I do not feel your pain. But I'm sure if you do something along the line of what I just wrote, you'll notice the improvement in no time flat! Or you'll die, either or. I'm sure there are loads of fat people out there firing up their hotmail accounts ready to flame me like they flambe a delicious dessert treat. But don't waste the energy people, because I don't care! That energy would be better spent attempting unsuccessfully to stand up.

Eat, drink, be merry: Scottsdale Culinary Festival looking for volunteers
PHOENIX -- Are you willing to work for food? Then the Scottsdale Culinary Festival wants you!
The festival is looking for approximately 500 volunteers to donate their time during the 36th Annual Scottsdale Culinary Festival's Great Arizona Picnic on April 12 and 13.
Volunteers will get a free t-shirt, but that's not the only perk.
"We will give you food tickets that day while you're volunteering, so that you don't have to stand there starving and looking at all the great venues available to taste," said Jerry McMahon, president of the Scottsdale League for the Arts.
Volunteers must attend orientation on March 29, between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., where they will register, meet people and win prizes.
Volunteers must also submit an application online before attending the rally. Find the application at ScottsdaleFest.org.

excellent reference book
Downloaded on time for my Kendal no problem
This book has lots of useful if not slightly too scientific, information. The one thing I don't like about it is the author dismisses the idea that GMOs are bad for you, when it is... Read more
nice book
Easy to read compared to more technical books.
A well put together book.
This book isn't perfect. But deserves an AAA+++ nonetheless ^^
Great informative book concerning foods and cancer. Helpful to try to fight cancer using nutrition.
Reading this to learn about how to stay cancer free, after knowing someone with cancer. Very interesting research!!!

I dont remember such coverage when crops look poor over use of word s record, monster, bin buster gets old when heard at some point every year gets less believable as time goes on.
Posted by andrew mohlman at 3:32PM CDT 08/29/14
No bin buster yields in our part of southern Mi. and northern Ohio.Corn is burnt up and beans are short.We have beans that are dropping leaves and will probably run in two to three weeks.I was in them last night and there is alot of 3 and 4 bean pods with 1 or 2 beans in them. So pod count may not mean much.We have only had 1.3 in of rain since the 25th of June. Even corn that has been irrigated every day since June figures in the 180s by pro farmers equation.Funny how crop tour followed the same path across corn belt as the rains did. The guys in ILL. that paid 15000 an acre for land better hope for more than 250 bu. corn.

I live on the Missouri iowa border. Sudden death is taking over. Where does this come into play?
Posted by Michael Graves at 9:14PM CDT 09/08/14
Yes, SDS is starting to show up Michael and also white mold in areas experiencing heavy rainfall. Both could certainly take a toll on yield and soybean quality. The rain we're experiencing is definitely a concern to bringing this crop--regardless of whether it is big or not.

The black RCF 4PRO 2031-A Active 2-Way 1200 W Speaker is an active bass reflex loudspeaker offering compact size, high output and vocal fidelity. It provides low distortion and consistent polar response in a flyable lightweight enclosure.
The speaker comprises a 12" woofer and a 1.7" voice coil compression driver that is mounted to a 90 x 60° constant directivity horn. It integrates a 600 W digital bi-amplification, a complete electronic processor section and RCF low distortion, high power transducers. The system is compact and linear and offers the typical balanced sound of high level two way systems.
The 90° angle is wide enough to provide coverage of an audience when used one per side, yet narrow enough to allow displaying of multiple enclosures without excessive coverage overlap.
The speaker is equipped with a 600 W digital amplifier, 400 W for the woofer and 200 W for the compression driver, delivering high output, extremely low distortion and an incredible natural sound. The amplifier presents XLR/jack (Combo) balanced inputs, XLR output link, volume, a switchable EQ Mode (Contour) and a mic/line switch. The amplifier features solid mechanical aluminum structure, which not only stabilizes the amplifier during transportation but also assists in the heat dissipation.
The processor section includes active crossover, system equalization, transducer phase alignment, limiter, and protection functions. The system is visually monitored from 4 status LEDs. All components are housed in a strong Baltic birch plywood enclosure where high density polystyrene end caps guarantee the maximum strength.
The front is protected from a strong, powder coated, metal grille. The cabinet features two comfortable recessed side handles for easy portability.
- 1200 W peak power, 600 W RMS output
- Well suited for sound reinforcement systems, band and vocal PA, DJ PA systems, and small-to-medium size venue main PA
- Included pole mount cap

Taken at the Cheshire Show (175 years old this year), Cheshire UK, the birds were from a rescue centre in North Wales,
The Long-eared Owl – Asio otus (previously: Strix otus) is a species of owl which breeds in Europe, Asia, and North America. This species is a part of the larger grouping of owls known as typical owls, family Strigidae, which contains most species of owl. The other grouping of owls are the barn owls, family Tytonidae.
The Long-eared Owl is a medium sized owl, 31–40 cm (12–16 in) in length with an 86–100 cm (34–39 in) wingspan and a body mass of 178–435 g (6.3–15.3 oz). It has erect blackish ear-tufts, which are positioned in the center of the head. The ear-tufts are used to make the owl appear larger to other owls while perched. The female is larger in size and darker in coloration than the male. The Long-eared Owl's brownish feathers are vertically streaked. Tarsus and toes are entirely feathered. Eye disks are also characteristic in this species. However, the eye disks of A. otus are darker in color or rusty-orange. This nocturnal species is perhaps most easily seen perched in a tree in its daytime roost, sometimes in small groups during the winter months.
Aw what a beauty!!! :)))))))))))))
Great capture, Ann! It's a beautiful owl.

text: Dwayne Johnson maybe just revealed he's playing a superheroBy Darren Franich, EW Updated 4:52 PM ET, Tue July 22, 2014Dwayne Johnson arrives at the screening of "Hercules" in June 2014 in Sydney, Australia. Story highlightsJohnson appeared to confirm his participation in the DC franchiseHe said there's an announcement coming soonWarner Bros. had no official commentDwayne Johnson has long been rumored to play a character in Warner Bros' rapidly expanding DC movie universe.In a surprising revelation happening days before the yearly Casting Revelation Geek Orgy known as Comic-Con, Johnson appeared to confirm his participation in the DC franchise. "DC and I have been talking for a couple of years now," said the Hercules star, clearly excited to talk about anything besides Hercules. "There's a character out there that we're gonna announce really soon, that I'm gonna play."EW: 'Justice League' movie to follow 'Batman/Superman' in 2018"Announce really soon" could mean "at Comic-Con" or it could mean "in the next year" or it could mean "actually never." But what's even more interesting is that Johnson appeared to confirm specifically which character he'd be playing. After first explaining that he would not be playing Green Lantern--even though he badly wanted to incarnate the John Stewart version of the emerald superhero--Johnson notes that he's playing someone with "the power of Superman." He concludes: "Just say the word. That's all I'm gonna say." EW: Warner Bros. superhero release schedule reportedly released: We've got thoughts"Power of Superman" is a clue; so is "just say the word." As comic book fans know, the character originally known as Captain Marvel essentially has Superman-level abilities--abilities that are activated when he says the word "Shazam!" So did the Rock just offer a clear tease that he'll be donning some version of Captain Marvel's red-and-yellow outfit? If so, it's likely that the film will feature some kind of Big twist: In the original comics, Captain Marvel is the grown-up alter ego of young Billy Batson. So the search is on for someone who can believably play a younger version of Dwayne Johnson.Warner Bros. had no official comment when contacted by EW, although it's worth pointing out that there is a rumored Shazam movie on the horizon for 2016. Watch Johnson in the video below, inadvertently providing us with further proof that Fast & Furious has become the Nexus of All Action Movie Franchises, just like the M'Kraan Crystal, or whatever DC's version of the M'Kraan Crystal is.See the original story at EW.com.

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries have some overriding concerns, namely regulatory and compliance issues, insufficient manufacturing capacity, and the economic challenges of producing niche drugs and therapies. Disposable systems can favorably impact the last item and provide some relief to the others as well.
Disposable systems improve the economic feasibility of producing niche drugs by enabling faster and cost-effective product changeovers. Manufacturing capacity is gained by simplifying scale up, eliminating process steps, and maximizing throughput. Because these systems are sterile and remain sterile, positive regulatory reviews are facilitated. Any technology this good surely deserves a closer look, and that is what follows.
Manufacturing costs generally make up 18% to 20% of a pharmaceutical company's operating costs (1). Maximizing productivity from manufacturing assets is critical in terms of maintaining a sustainable competitive advantage. This requires fast turnaround and cleaning procedures, especially when operating multi-product facilities and minimizing shutdown time for modification and maintenance. Of course, optimizing product recovery presents an additional opportunity to favorably impact costs. We will show that to maximize overall process efficiency, a holistic approach is needed from the outset, whereby downstream processing is directly matched with bioreactor performance.
Disposable products are available in a range of sizes, making them ideal for use in every stage of drug development. Single-use products composed of the same materials of construction minimize re-validation requirements when a new process is scaled up.
The tubing used in these systems is usually clear and the capsule filters are typically designed with clear or translucent housings. This design feature allows operators to observe fluid levels and flow, as well as to detect fluid discoloration and air pockets, thereby enabling problems to be identified immediately and isolated from the rest of the process (if required).
Who Stands to Benefit? High-growth biotechnology companies, large pharmaceutical companies, and contract manufacturers stand to gain significant speed, safety, and cost-saving benefits by using disposable systems. A disposable processing approach is especially cost-effective and efficient for start-up biotech companies that do not have hard-piped processing systems already in place. As many biotech start-ups have not fully defined their operating parameters, single-use products can save them from making premature investments in capital equipment.
When funding is scarce, single-use products can provide an effective cost- and labor-saving strategy. Additionally, the timeliness of making a batch for clinical trials can be crucial for the development timeline, and disposable systems can be assembled much faster that a comparable hard-piped system.
Single-use products help contract manufacturers reduce cross-contamination risks, upfront equipment costs, space requirements, and complicated cleaning and cleaning validation procedures. This increases profit margin, enhances safety, and reduces compliance concerns, enabling them to be more competitive in a growing market.
The benefits of disposable processing can be profound. Disposable processing could increase the profitability of niche therapies and drugs, thereby making treatments for rare or unusual illnesses and diseases more readily available.
Changes in the country's political landscape may affect the pharmaceutical industry market in the future.
The author discusses the various ways in which a quality-by-design program can enhance the extractable and leachable assessment of a drug product.
The use of commercially available media to achieve high titer in early process development is discussed.
The fast growth of the global biopharmaceutical market has prompted global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to increase their R&D investment in biologics.
The draft guidance contains policies for drugs that are processed with additional manufacturing steps such as remixing, dilution, and repackaging.
The agency releases five draft guidance documents related to drug compounding and repackaging.
Market forces may limit the success of CMOs.
FDA announced that it would postpone a meeting that would be critical for the advancement of Celltrion's Remicade biosimilar in the US.
Drug shortages are declining, but they're still a serious concern for regulatory authorities, policy makers, and bio/pharmaceutical manufacturers.
The company voluntarily recalls product due to FDA observations of potential sterility problems.

Back: MLB Predictions 2013
Next: AL Central Predictions
#1 Toronto Blue Jays
Stadium Capacity:
Rogers Centre (49,260)
John Gibbons
2012 Record:
Starting Pitching:
The best staff in the majors resides in Canada. The Blue Jays made big moves bringing in Josh Johnson, R.A. Dickey, and Mark Buehrle. Those three will team up with Brandon Morrow, Ricky Romero, and Kyle Drabek. The NL Cy Young award winner, R.A. Dickey, will try his knuckle ball in the American League. Last season Dickey led the NL in K's and Innings pitched. Josh Johnson should bounce back after a down year. Johnson should return to form and win around 16 games, around 190 K's and an ERA hovering around 3.00. Brandon Morrow was having a Cy Young caliber season until an injury put him out for over two months. In 21 starts he had 10 wins, 108 K's and 2.96 ERA. Rickey Romero struggled with his command and that led him to leading the league in walks with 105. Kyle Drabek will start the season on the 60 day DL.
Relief Pitching:
For all the starting pitching moves the Blue Jay's made in the offseason they neglected the bullpen. Casey Jansen retains the closer role. Jansen had 22 saves last season. Sergio Santos seems more fitting for the role and may earn it if Jansen falters. Brad Lincoln and Steve Belabar will be in middle and setup roles.
Jose Reyes brings a solid lead off batter to the Jays. Reyes has great speed, he had 13 triples and 37 doubles last season. Look for Reyes to surpass the 100 runs mark this season. The other newcomer from the Marlins is second basemen Emilo Bonifacio who will be in competition for the spot with Maicer Izturis. Brett Lawrie had a solid season at third. Lawrie hit a respectable .273 and had 48 RBI's. Edwin Encarnacion had a monster year with 42 HR's and 110 RBI's, while maintaining a .280 batting average. Adam Lind will split time at DH and first base with Encarnacion.
Jose Bautista was on his way to his second 50 HR season. Bautista will be ready to go by spring training. Melky Cabrera was let go by the Giants after a failed drug test. Cabrera was hitting .346 before the 50 game ban. Colby Rasumus put up nice power numbers, but his batting average of .222 is concerning going forward.
The Blue Jays saw a window of opportunity and they're going for it. They mad plenty of great moves this offseason bring in starting pitching and Jose Reyes to bat lead-off. Toronto could make a run at the AL Pennant this year.
#2 Tampa Bay Rays
Stadium Capacity:
Tropicana Field (34,078)
Manager: Joe Maddon
2012 Record:
Starting Pitching:
The Rays have one of the best young staffs in the game. Matt Moore has great off-speed stuff and mid-90s fastball. Moore had 175 strikeouts in 177 innings of work. Jeremy Hellickson posted a 3.10 ERA, but struggled with commanded. David Price is one of the top pitchers in the game. The 2012 Cy Young award winner had a career high in wins (20) and a career low in losses (5). James Shields will be a loss, but this staff has enough young talent to make up for it.
Relief Pitching:
Closer Fernando Rodney turned in the best season of his career at the age of 35. Rodney had 48 saves and only walked 15 batters in 74.2 innings. McGee and Peralta were dominating a year ago. Peralta had 84 strikeouts to 17 walks in 67 innings. McGee will take over for Rodney in the closer's role if he falters. McGee had a mid-90's fastball which commands well.
Yunel Escobar makes his way from Miami via trade. Yunel is average at the plate, but has a great glove. James Loney will take over at first, he doesn't provide the usual pop you want from a first basemen, he had six HR's last year. Jose Molina is a bit of a liability at the plate. The Rays will need Evan Longoria healthy and to post MVP numbers. Ben Zobrist can play just about every position. He will likely spend most of his time at second and in right. Zobrist puts up above average numbers at the plate. Second basemen Ryan Roberts needs to be more patient at the plate. He hit .214 with an OBP of .296.
Leftfielder Sam Fuld only has four HR's in 537 at bats. Power is not his specialty, but if he can't hit for power he's going to need to raise his batting average to be serviceable. All the hype surrounded Desmond Jennings last season. His numbers were so-so for a lead off man. His steal numbers though are impressive. Look for Jennings to take another step forward this season.
This franchise is only getting better. If Longoria can stay healthy and Jennings takes his game to another level the Rays could very well arrive at the top of the AL East a year early.
#3 New York Yankees
Stadium Capacity:
Yankee Stadium (50,287)
Joe Girardi
2012 Record:
Starting Pitching:
CC Sabathia had another great season for the Yankees. He threw 200 innings, 197 K's, and a 3.38 ERA. If anything happens to Sabathia or his numbers decline, the Yankees will suffer. Hiroki Kuroda (38) and Andy Pettitte (40) aren't getting any younger. If both of these starters can log over 175 innings consider that a gift. The future of the Yankees staff starts with Michael Pineda. Pineda missed last season with shoulder surgery. In his last season with the Mariners he posted an ERA under four and 173 K's. Pineda could be the Yankees number two starter behind CC by the end of the season. Phil Hughes now in his seventh year with the Yankees posted a career high in K's, but gave up 35 HR's. Ivan Nova had an ERA over 5 last season. The Yankees lineup won't drive in as many runs this season, Nova will need to keep his ERA down.
Relief Pitching:
Mariano Rivera will return for perhaps his last season. Rivera is coming of shoulder surgery, at his age there's no telling how he will comeback from that. David Robertson is the best setup guy in the business. The past two seasons he's combined for 126 innings and 181 K's. Joba Chamberlain, Boone Logan, and David Aardsma round out the pen.
Derek Jeter had a career high 216 hits last season. That's saying something for someone who's now in their 18th season. Alex Rodriguez underwent hip surgery in January. The Yankees will be lucky to get him back after the All-Star break. Don't count on A-Rod for anything this season until he's back on the field for a solid week or two. Kevin Youkilis will be primarily at third and see time at first/DH too. Youkilis was the lone offseason acquisition. Mark Teixeira power numbers will have to improve with all the departures and injuries. Robinson Cano is the most feared man in the lineup. He hit 33 HR's, 94 RBI's and had a .313 BA. Catcher Chris Stewart hit's for contact, which is not a good thing for this Yankee team. Eduardo Nunez will see time at third and DH.
Curtis Granderson only made it five pitches before getting hit by a pitch. Granderson will likely be out until May. Ichiro Suzuki has less than 200 hits the past two seasons and hasn't scored 100 runs since 2008. The Yankees aren't likely to get over 40 steals out of him either. Brett Gardner missed almost all of last year to an elbow injury. The Yankees will need his speed on the bases and on the field.
The Yankees aren't getting any younger. The offseason wasn't a traditional Yankee offseason. Injuries and departures likely will keep this team out of AL East contention. If they can hang tough until the trade deadline they could make a push.
#4 Boston Red Sox
Stadium Capacity:
Fenway Park (37,495)
John Farrell
2012 Record
Starting Pitching:
The Red Sox will gladly welcome John Lackey from Tommy John Surgery. If Lackey can bring in 13-14 wins and pitch around 175 innings the Sox will be happy. Boston needs Jon Lester to get back on track. 2012 was a disaster for Lester with nine wins, 4.82 ERA, and 25 HR's given up. Clay Buchholz needs to put together a complete season like he did in 2010. Last years slow start can't happen again. Ryan Dempster will likely be the three or four in the rotation. Felix Doubront will round out the rotation.
Relief Pitching:
The bullpen looks solid with Joel Hanrahan coming over from the Pirates. Hanrahan posted 36 saves on a team that won 79 games. Expect him to be around 40 saves with the Boston. Andrew Bailey is just as capable at closer, but was unimpressive in his 19 games last season and he went down with an injury. Koji Uehara, Junichi Tazawa, Franklin Morales, and Andrew Miller give Boston a lot of options out of the pen.
Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia put up solid power numbers with 25 HR's and 59 RBI's, but his batting average was .222. Saltalamacchia has more strikeouts (509) then he does game played (474). Stephen Drew will be at SS, if he doesn't impress, Xander Bogaerts or Jose Iglegias could arrive on the scene. Third baseman Will Middlebrooks could put up big numbers in a full season. He had 15 HR's and 54 RBI's in 267 at bats. Mike Napoli is slated to start at first. David Ortiz returns from injury and should be ready to go by opening day. Dustin Pedroia played through an injury last season. Pedroia will need to be at an MVP level for Boston to rise to the top of the AL East.
A couple of free agents will join Jacoby Ellsbury in the outfield. Jonny Gomes is slated to start in left. Gomes will likely hit around 20 HR's and 80 RBI's for the Red Sox. Shane Victorino's 2012 season was the worst of his career. Career lows in batting average and OBP. These numbers will need to rise from him to be a serviceable two hole hitter. Jacoby Ellsbury is the teams best all around player. The problem has been injuries, a recurring theme for this team.
The Red Sox simply need to stay healthy. Last year's team won 69 games. This isn't likely to happen again. Young prospects wait in the minors awaiting their chance. A sub-par season is likely this year, but next year they could be back near the top of the AL East.
#5 Baltimore Orioles
Stadium Capacity:
Camden Yards (45,971)
Buck Showalter
2012 Record:
Starting Pitching:
Wei-Yin Chen was the teams best pitcher last season. One concern is how many HR's Chen gave up, 27. The Orioles have several good pitchers, but no true ace. Jason Hammel could be the guy for the role. Hammel went 8-6 in 20 starts with Baltimore. Zach Britton has great stuff, but was hindered by injuries last season. Britton will compete for a spot in the rotation due to several players emerging last season. Last years big finds were Chris Tillman and Miguel Gonzalez. Tillman posted an ERA under three and won nine games in 15 starts. Gonzalez won nine games in his rookie season.
Relief Pitching:
Sinker ball closer Jim Johnson had 50 saves a season ago. Matusz now finds himself in the bullpen after three disappointing seasons as a starter. Pedro Strop is the primary setup guy. Strop had a 2.44 ERA, but struggled at times with command.
Matt Wieters has been as advertised the past few years. His power is there, walks are up, and is an ironman behind the plate. Chris Davis had a monster year for Baltimore. He had a team best 33 HR's and 85 RBI's. Shortstop J.J. Hardy's power numbers are up, but his average and OBP took a dip. What if Brian Roberts could stay healthy? That's something Oriole fans have asked themselves for the past three years. He needs to stay healthy to compete in the AL East. Manny Machado (20) will get a full year under his belt after coming up last season and impressing. If someone falters in the infield Alexi Casilla is more then capable of filling their role.
Adam Jones had a career year posting an .839 OPS, a career best. Jones had a career highs in doubles (39) and HR's (32.) Nick Markakis is a pure hitter. He gets on base at a high rate and can spray the ball all over the field. McLouth and Reimold will likely share leftfield unless something pops up in spring.
The AL East is always tough. This Orioles team will need stay healthy and have consistent pitching to move up the ladder after a great 2011 season. They have the potential to make a run with their lineup, but can the pitching hold up.

I would really like a copy of this pattern so I can make the hat for my Grandson, but it won't open.
Love the hat. the hat is a boys hat, what is wrong with that. If girls like it go for it. don't leave the gender out. we don't do for girls.
Was it really necessary to add "especially boys"? There are plenty of girls who like Spider-Man (and Spider-Woman). Just leave off the gender-specific comments and let the items speak for themselves -- this one is cute enough on its own :-).

text: How to Climb a Tree Through the Looking Tire David chats with two doctoral students who are studying evolutionary biology at Dartmouth, Vivek Venkataraman and Thomas Kraft. They are actually biological anthropologists who study tree-climbing techniques of indigenous people living in Malaysian jungles. This Won't End Well Vivek Venkataraman and Thomas Kraft watch as David Rees attempts to climb a tree barefoot. This allows for maximum surface area contact, which makes the climber less likely to slip. A Typical Afternoon with David David Rees tries to climb a bigger tree this time with the guidance of Vivek Venkataraman and Thomas Kraft. They aren't sure whether he can actually conquer climbing trees because the best climbers in villages are almost always under 25 years old. Safety First David Rees and tree climbing expert Mark Chisholm survey the tree for safety before climbing. Mark wins tree climbing contests, and David is determined to prove Vivek and Thomas wrong about who can climb trees well. Trust Fall, Anyone? David Rees hangs suspended in midair as Mark Chisholm holds the ropes. Pro tree climbers like Mark install their climbing ropes by attaching them to weighted bean bags, which they throw over a sturdy branch way up in the tree. Higher and Higher David Rees climbs up onto a sturdy limb while Mark Chisholm holds the ropes. They are using a rope walker system that involves mainly using their legs and only really using their hands to assist the climb going up. Leave it to Lemurs David Rees and Daniel Schmit, professor of Evolutionary Anthropology, sit on the ground surrounded by lemurs at the Duke Lemur Lab. Lemurs spend a lot of their time in the trees and are known for their playful and wild antics of hopping from tree to tree. Well Prepared David Rees stands by his childhood magnolia tree, preparing to climb the tree for the first time because his mother never let him climb it as a child. Childhood Dream Fulfilled David Rees perchs high up in the mangolia, surrounded by foliage. He knows that if he falls, there are a lot of branches to whack him on the way down. Sweet Victory Nap David Rees slumps to the ground in his harness after an exhausting climb. Patrick, a local tree-climbing enthusiast, helped him rig up the tree so he could climb on belay, but it was still a tough climb. 0 comments   Get Livefyre FAQ Sign in + Follow Post comment Link Newest | Oldest

Partners Say IBM Still Slow On Approving Discounted Deals
Give IBM credit for trying. It's implemented a system to speed up approvals for discounted deals partners negotiate with customers. That, IBM says, has got the average approval down to four hours and 24 hours maximum. But some channel partners say that while things are definitely improving, some approvals can still take days and, according to the experience of one partner, weeks.
In a recent video IBM president and CEO Ginni Rometty sought to instill a sense of urgency among IBM employees and said the company needs to step up the pace when it comes to making decisions and responding to customers. Some channel partners would agree.

"Mrs. Booker," Kyles says without sarcasm, "has an open invitation to perform at any of my tour stops. The rest of the family, though, aren't really qualified. They don't even have product out. I want people to come in the spirit of a festival, not for the bands."
McLaughlin says she sent a cease-and-desist letter to Kyles because he was using the Marley family's name in his advertising. She further alleges that Kyles contacted sponsors and vendors of last year's event claiming that his was the legit sequel. Kyles maintains that he's the one being wronged, in that the Booker group went after his sponsors and stole his concept.
Happy birthday, Bob.
