Nico Rosberg pipped the two McLarens for the fastest time in Valencia on Friday morning, stopping the clocks for Mercedes GP with 1m 41.175s. That was 0.164s faster than Lewis Hamiltons 1m 41.339s, and 0.208s better than Jenson Buttons 1m 41.383s.
Its early days, however, as the number of drivers running wide in Turn Two testified to the green nature of the track, which remained extremely slippery.
Robert Kubica, in fourth place for Renault on 1m 41.715s, was 0.540s slower than Rosberg, and the only other runner below 1m 42s.
For comparison, Sebastian Vettel took pole for the 2009 race in 1m 39.489s with a first-stint fuel load, while the fastest light fuel lap of the weekend was turned by Rubens Barrichellos Brawn in Q2 in 1m 38.000s.
Behind him, Felipe Massa recorded 1m 42.182s, the faster Ferrari time, and headed the Red Bulls of Vettel and Mark Webber, on 1m 42.216s and 1m 42.275s respectively, Michael Schumachers Mercedes GP on 1m 42.312s, Fernando Alonsos Ferrari on 1m 42.421s, the Williams of Barrichello and Nico Hulkenberg on 1m 42.463s and 1m 42.707s respectively, and Renaults Vitaly Petrov on 1m 42.962s.
Sebastien Buemi was 13th for Toro Rosso, ahead of Vitantonio Liuzzis Force India on 1m 43.380s, Pedro de la Rosas BMW Sauber on 1m 43.397s and Paul di Resta, who was substituting again at Force India for Adrian Sutil, on 1m 43.437s. Kamui Kobayashi completed the sub 1m 44s runners with 1m 43.729s for BMW Sauber.
Home boy Jaime Alguersuari was 18th for Toro Rosso with 1m 44.183s, while Heikki Kovalainen got Lotuss 500th race off to a great start by getting closer than the team ever have to a midfield outfit with a lap in 1m 44.491s. Timo Glock was next on 1m 45.653s for Virgin, then came Bruno Senna on 1m 47.123s for HRT, Jarno Trulli shaking down his new Lotus T127 chassis with 1m 47.285s, Christian Klien who was deputising for HRTs Karun Chandhok for this session only on 1m 47.343s, and Lucas di Grassi in the second Virgin on 1m 47.356s.
Besides the various minor offs which caused no damage, Senna lost his left rear-view mirror after 36 minutes, necessitating a brief red flag as the debris was cleared away after Buemi had run over it.

While doing chores one afternoon you are suddenly interrupted by a knock at the door. You answer to it find two eccentrically dressed individuals standing before. One is a woman dressed in a black scantily clad outfit with black stilettos. She had rabbit like ears that stood tall and a bow slung over her shoulder. Beside her was medium built man wearing a beautifully decorated vest with ivory colored long sleeve shirt, tight dark pants, silver like sandals and a large pistol in one hand that leaned on his shoulder. "Who are you?" You ask and the man with the pistol replies "I play the leading man, who else?" he smiles then woman with the bow turns to him and speaks "I would say you're more like a 'Supporting' role" her face expression less, with an annoyed look the man with the gun looks over and replies "Fran, please. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Balthier of the Sky Pirates and this Fran my Playboy Bunny…" Balthier's talking is cut short when Fran lightly elbows him in the ribs but he corrects himself and then talks "I mean she's my first mate, we're here to thank you on behalf Mobis-New-Nest who paid us in an abundant amount of Magicite; for favouring a piece in his gallery, we now take our leave and wish you a good day" Balthier and Fran bow to you and walk off your door step but just before climbing into their airship Balthier turns to you to say one last thing "Oh I almost forgot, do come back and favour another piece because if you don't Fran and I will be happy to loot your home" he gives you smile and nods, then boards the airship.

St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright is expected to rest some players for the visit of Scottish Premiership champions Celtic with the William Hill Scottish Cup final in mind.
Frazer Wright was left out of Saturday's defeat at Motherwell and others may follow.
Gary McDonald is pushing for more involvement to boost his fitness after coming back from a knee injury off the bench at Fir Park. Long-term injury victims Tam Scobbie (ankle) and Murray Davidson (knee) remain out.
Neil Lennon is likely to ring the changes for Celtic's Scottish Premiership clash with St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park on Wednesday night.
Left-back Emilio Izaguirre will play no further part for the champions this season after being allowed time off before meeting up with Honduras ahead of the World Cup and Lennon is hoping to give starts to number two goalkeeper Lukasz Zaluska plus forwards Dirk Boerrigter, Teemu Pukki and Amido Balde.
Midfielder Nir Biton and wide man James Forrest remain out with groin injuries, while Greek striker Georgios Samaras has failed to shrug off his illness.

High jinx on the high seas!!
Reads R to L (Japanese Style). High jinx on the high seas!!
As a child, Monkey D. Luffy dreamed of becoming the King of the Pirates, but his life changed when he accidentally gained the power to stretch like rubber�at the cost of never being able to swim again! Now Luffy, with the help of a motley collection of pirate wannabes, is setting off in search of the "One Piece," said to be the greatest treasure in the world!
Qualities of a King: When the Straw Hats come in contact with Bartholomew Kuma's bare paw, this Warlord of the Sea's teleportation power sends them flying to an unknown location. Luffy lands on a maiden island where he battles the local Amazons. But with the crew scattered all around the world, will they ever be able to meet up again?!
Eiichiro Oda debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997 as a comic creator and artist withONE PIECE. One of the most popular comic artists in Japan today, Oda started out by winning the Hop Step Award (a monthly award given by Jump for amateur artists) as well as the esteemed Tezuka Award. His art style is reminiscent of Akira Toriyama, Sergio Aragones, and the movie Yellow Submarine.

Karen Armstrong: I think the media has a huge role to play – and has to take quite a responsibility for some of the more divisive aspects in our culture. I've just written a piece in the Globe and Mail about Islamaphobia in Canada, and the hostile comments that came in were ugly and disturbing – sort of fascist-style comments. Very often, the media has portrayed certain sectors of the community through endless reporting on terrorism, ignoring the wider picture. So, there's a real challenge here to turn that around.
Storytelling is fine as long as you can encourage people to act on the stories. I don't want this charter, for example, to degenerate into a sort of club where people exchange compassionate and inspiring stories, because there's just too much work to be done. If we want to create a viable, peaceful world, we've got to integrate compassion into the gritty realities of 21st century life.
Let's use our stories to encourage listening to one another and to hear not just the good news, but also the pain that lies at the back of a lot of people's stories and histories. Pain is something that's common to human life. When we ignore it, we aren't engaging in the whole reality, and the pain begins to fester. We need to encourage full storytelling – unless people also talk about the bad things that happen, this is just going to be some superficial feel-good exercise.
Bruce: What are some of the more recent practical applications of the charter that have been most inspiring to you?
Armstrong: Pakistan is taking a leadership role in integrating the charter into civic life. This a country right on the edge of the main conflicts that could fill our world – the whole world could implode because of what happens in Pakistan. It's got Afghanistan and Iran next door, it's a nuclear power, and it's had conflict with India since its inception. This is a really explosive situation.

Okay, how utterly STUPID is the process for taking a screenshot on a Charge? Push the back button and the home button and hold down yada yada. Well the problem is when you push the back button.... IT GOES BACK and you end up taking a screenshot of something you dont want. It would be okay if it was instantaneous, but it itsn't, there is a few second delay as well, so you find yourself hitting the combo of buttons and then racing to try and reload the actual screen you want to see before it snaps the shot usually to no avail. How about making it a different combination of buttons? Well I better be careful there because they could (and probably would) change it to something worse. Push the sleep button and blow into the earphone jack. WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT? Why is it such a fine process? So I don't accidently take screenshots? This isn't lauching an ICBM with two keys 20 feet apart, it's a screenshot, make it easier. /rant
Victory I finally got fed up with this same thing AGAIN today- after not being able to send my friend a screen shot of my text convo. So I thought I'd try googling it once again.. and this is what I found- and it actually freakin worked!! I found it at this website: https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/766082 And the post said this: I first saw this on another forum but had to modify it some so it would work every time. If the problem is that when you take a screen shot the screen goes BACK to the previous screen BEFORE the screen shot is captured and therefore you get a screen shot of the wrong screen, this will fix that problem. When you have the screen you want to capture PULL DOWN THE NOTIFICATION SCREEN. Then you press the Back button (keep holding it down) and QUICKLY press and release the Home button while still holding down the Back button. Your phone will remove the notification screen and capture the screen you wanted to capture but remember to keep holding down the Back button until you hear the clicking sound of the screen capture itself. This is the best and easiest solution...problem finally solved!

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: DNA C-values in land plants (comprising bryophytes, lycophytes, monilophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms) vary approximately 1000-fold from approx. 0.11 to 127.4 pg. To understand the evolutionary significance of this huge variation it is essential to evaluate the phylogenetic component. Recent increases in C-value data (e.g. Plant DNA C-values database; release 2.0, January 2003; http://www.rbgkew.org.uk/cval/homepage.html) together with improved consensus of relationships between and within land plant groups makes such an analysis timely. METHODS: Insights into the distribution of C-values in each group of land plants were gained by superimposing available C-value data (4119 angiosperms, 181 gymnosperms, 63 monilophytes, 4 lycophytes and 171 bryophytes) onto phylogenetic trees. To enable ancestral C-values to be reconstructed for clades within land plants, character-state mapping with parsimony and MacClade was also applied. KEY RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Different land plant groups are characterized by different C-value profiles, distribution of C-values and ancestral C-values. For example, the large ( approximately 1000-fold) range yet strongly skewed distribution of C-values in angiosperms contrasts with the very narrow 12-fold range in bryophytes. Further, character-state mapping showed that the ancestral genome sizes of both angiosperms and bryophytes were reconstructed as very small (i.e. < or =1.4 pg) whereas gymnosperms and most branches of monilophytes were reconstructed with intermediate C-values (i.e. >3.5, <14.0 pg). More in-depth analyses provided evidence for several independent increases and decreases in C-values; for example, decreases in Gnetaceae (Gymnosperms) and heterosperous water ferns (monilophytes); increases in Santalales and some monocots (both angiosperms), Pinaceae, Sciadopityaceae and Cephalotaxaceae (Gymnosperms) and possibly in the Psilotaceae + Ophioglossaceae clade (monilophytes). Thus, in agreement with several focused studies within angiosperm families and genera showing that C-values may both increase and decrease, it is apparent that this dynamic pattern of genome size evolution is repeated on a broad scale across land plants.

Sticks and stones may break bones, but 140 characters can do a whole lot more damage. Those who bought Twitter TWTR, -0.29% stock must be happy with the stock's performance post-IPO Thursday, but erroneous Tweets have also cost some users big.
While Twitter can be a powerful social networking and marketing tool, hasty or erroneous posts on the site sometimes get pretty expensive. Misfired tweets have ended careers, led to huge fines, and when the Associated Press account was hacked last April, the Dow plunged 145 points. A tweet appeared around 1pm on April 23, 2013 saying: "Breaking: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured." The AP deleted the post and suspended the account.
The problem with Twitter, aside from such obvious security issues, is that immediacy and informality — the site's greatest strength — are also its greatest dangers.
And in many cases, there's no turning back once you hit "tweet." Attempts to delete tweets are often too late (just ask fallen congressman Anthony Weiner who re-entered the public stage to run for mayor of New York; he didn't win). Millions more of these brief musings will live on for posterity, enshrined in an archive being created by the Library of Congress. "Public Tweets are a public and permanent record," says Daniel Post-Senning, great-great grandson of the grand dame of etiquette Emily Post.
Here are five of the more regrettable tweets — and the estimated hefty price tags that came with them.
— By Quentin Fottrell
Anthony Weiner tweets away his seat
* Price tag: $174,000 salary, dreams of being mayor, president
Anthony Weiner, the former Democratic congressman for New York, resigned in June 2011 after sending a sexually explicit photo of himself to a college student over Twitter. At first, Weiner claimed that his Twitter account was hacked, telling reporters he was the victim of a "prank." While he lost his $174,000-a-year job — the standard salary for members of both the House and the Senate — he also walked away with the equivalent of around $1.2 million in retirement benefits after just a dozen years in office. These days, he works as a media pundit, political analyst and blogger, and since his unsuccessful run for mayor of New York is back on Twitter as @anthonyweiner, saying he's "a fighter for the middle class and those struggling to make it."
Juror tweets, judge orders retrial
* Estimated price tag: $600,000-plus
The Arkansas Supreme Court reversed the murder conviction of a death-row inmate after a juror tweeted that the trial was over nearly an hour before the jury announced its verdict. The defendant, Erickson Dimas-Martinez, was convicted in 2010 of robbing and shooting a teenager. His lawyer said the juror's tweets violated the trial judge's instruction not to talk about the case. One tweet read: "Choices to be made. Hearts to be broken. We each define the great line."
A new trial could cost taxpayers $600,000, says John Wesley Hall, a criminal defense attorney in Arkansas for nearly 40 years and past president of National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. "If anything smacks of an unfair trial the defendant should get a new trial," he says. Even if the juror did not intentionally discuss the case with anyone, by sending the tweet, he was inviting conversation, according to Arkansas lawyer Andrew M. Taylor. "There's really no excuse for his behavior," he says. In the end, taxpayers were spared the expense of the second trial. Dimas-Martinez pleaded guilty.
NBA fines tweeting team owners
* Estimated price tag: $525,000
The National Basketball Association has fined team owners thousands of dollars for tweets. In November 2011, Miami Heat owner Micky Arison was fined a reported $500,000 for commenting on the player/trade union bargaining process, which is a no-no for a team owner, according to NBA rules. In 2009, it fined Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban $25,000 for using Twitter to publicly criticize officials after the Mavericks lost a game against Denver. The Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks did not comment. Tim Frank, a spokesman for the NBA, says both parties were fined, but declined to confirm the specifics. "You're accountable for what you do on Twitter just as if you put up a sign in the main street of your town," Post-Senning says.
Spirit Airlines ad blast for $9 fares
* Price tag: $50,000
Spirit Airlines tweeted about $9 one-way tickets from Los Angeles in June 2011, but failed to mention the additional taxes and charges in its brief 140-character ad blast. In November 2011, the Department of Transportation fined the Florida-based airline $50,000 for deceptive advertising practices. The taxes and fees were disclosed on the airline's website, but only after clicking on a second link. A spokeswoman for Spirit declined to comment on the fine. At the time, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement: "Consumers have a right to know the full price they will be paying when they buy an airline ticket. We expect airlines to treat their passengers fairly, and we will take enforcement action when they violate our price advertising rules."
CNN editor Octavia Nasr fired for tweet
* Estimated price tag: Future earnings
In 2010, a 20-year CNN veteran, Octavia Nasr — then a senior editor covering the Middle East — was fired after sending out a tweet saying she had respect for Shiite Cleric Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah. It read: "Sad to hear of the passing of Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah. One of Hezbollah's giants I respect a lot. #Lebanon" During his lifetime, Fadlallah was a vocal critic of U.S. foreign policy and supported suicide bombings against Israel. Nasr apologized for her tweet and said it was an error of judgment. She further defended Fadlallah because she said he took a contrarian and pioneering stand among Shia clerics on women's rights. CNN and Nasr did not respond requests for comment.

It's partly this prevailing idea that somehow "gay" and "country star" is an oxymoron that kept Wright in the closet for so long. But in early May, amid a fury of media buzz and speculation, Wright came out, and like the proverbial toothpaste, there's no going back in.

17 Simple Stencils for Picture-Perfect Pumpkins

Whoo is the Wisest?
This feathered old owl, alight on his sturdy branch, adds an eerie touch. Choose a nice oval pumpkin with a wide base for stability, then follow the pattern to carve out feathers, beak and eyes. Shape the areas inside the O's, then carefully remove the background around the owl, carving it into smaller pieces to make things easier. Finally, carve out the areas beneath the branches. You're brilliant!

Judge declines to stop ban on synthetic drugs
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Hennepin County judge won't stop the state's new ban on synthetic drugs from taking effect Friday.
So as of midnight, it will be illegal to have or sell synthetic drugs, including fake marijuana, bath salts and other chemicals, like the one blamed in a mass overdose that killed a 19-year-old last spring.

Rowallane Garden
Rowallane Garden is a National Trust property located just outside the small town of Saintfield, County Down, Northern Ireland. Rowallane Garden is noted for its collection of azaleas and rhododendrons. It is also home to the National Collection of penstemons.[1]
The Garden features a walled garden, a natural Rock Garden Wood, wildflower meadows and a Farmland Walk and a Woodland Walk, as well as a tea-room. The house is the headquarters of the National Trust in Northern Ireland.[1]
The Garden was laid out from the mid-1860s by the Reverend John Moore. He built a walled garden, created the Pleasure Grounds and planted many trees. In 1903 the garden passed to his nephew, Hugh Armytage Moore, who established and developed connections with seedsmen and botanic gardens throughout the world and further developed the Garden.[2][3]

Ramblers catch youthful, vulnerable Bulldogs off guard at home
Originally Published: February 15, 2009
By Pat Forde | ESPN.com
INDIANAPOLIS -- In an act of unnatural composure, Brad Stevens smiled on Sunday when he sat down to face the media after the debacle at Hinkle.
"Everything I love about basketball happened tonight," the Butler coach said. "It just didn't happen on our side."
It happened on the side of the oft-trampled Loyola Ramblers, who staggered into town on a six-game Horizon League losing streak to play the No. 15 team in the country. The gamblers dissed the Ramblers, making them a 19-point ...

Baker made 25 appearances (eight starts) for the Rangers in 2014, going 3-4 with a 5.47 ERA. He had 55 strikeouts in 80 2/3 innings.
Baker went 2-4 with a 5.80 ERA in eight starts, while going 1-0 with a 5.13 ERA in 17 relief appearances last season.
Holland ends his season 2-0 with a 1.31 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP over five starts (34 1/3 innings).
Baker indicated that he has improved but is not ready for a starting assignment. Bonilla delivered a quality start and earned a win in his first start Saturday.
"I talked to him a little bit, he's still sore, he's still dealing with it, and at this point, he's got to get out there and be able to throw and that's in five days or six days, so you don't know what's going to happen," Bogar said of Baker.
Baker won two of his last three starts, but gave up five runs in 4 1/3 innings in his last outing against Seattle.
Baker allowed five runs on four hits over 4 1/3 innings. He struck out three and walked one during the outing. Home runs were a big issue for Baker. All five runs he gave up came on the long ball. The first dinger came in the second inning. After a leadoff walk, Baker gave up a two-run shot to Kendrys Morales. The remaining two home runs came in the fifth inning. Mike Zunino hit a solo blast early in the frame, and Brad Miller followed it up with a two-run shot later. Baker was pulled after the Miller home run.
With the loss, Baker dropped to 3-4. He'll take on the Angels in his next start.
Baker (2-3) surrendered a solo home run in the fourth inning, but he still managed to deliver his best start of the season after spending most of the year in the bullpen. He owns a 5.45 ERA and 44:12 K:BB ratio in 66 innings. Baker could be called upon to make another start Saturday against the Astros.
Baker (1-3) delivered a 1-2-3 13th inning and was able to work around a one-out double in the 14th before the Rangers recorded the victory. It was the first time in three appearances that he didn't give up a run. Baker owns a 5.75 ERA and 43:11 K:BB ratio in 61 innings.
Baker (0-2) was a last-minute replacement for the Rangers, who were worried about using scheduled starter Yu Darvish on a night where inclement weather could have caused a lengthy delay. Baker threw 77 pitches on the night, giving up just one run in his first four innings before two doubles in the fifth pushed two more runs across. He owns a 5.80 ERA and 29:7 K:BB ratio in 45 innings.
Yu Darvish, the team's probable starter Thursday, will instead pitch Friday against the Mets in New York. The team was reluctant to go with Darvish on his regular schedule with the chance that he may be limited to only a few innings due to the weather. New Thursday starter Baker owns a 5.80 ERA and 27:6 K:BB ratio in 40 1/3 innings over 11 appearances (two starts).
The team is worried that a weather day could cost Darvish a rain-shortened turn in the rotation, so they are planning to push him back to Friday's game in New York unless the weather clears up considerably before first pitch Thursday. Scott Baker would fill in on the mound Thursday if the window of decent weather to play remains relatively short.
Baker was filling in for an injured Yu Darvish, and the only damage he surrendered came on a second-inning solo home run and a third-inning double. Baker provided the Rangers with a much-needed quality start, throwing 80 pitches Tuesday despite being on short rest. He owns a 5.19 ERA and 7:3 K:BB ratio in 17 1/3 innings.
Righties are batting .345 against Baker.
Saunders, who has been pitching on a minor-league rehab assignment recently after overcoming an ankle injury, will make the start Wednesday instead of Scott Baker. Baker will instead be moved to a long-relief role.
Ross gets replaced after going 1-4 with a 4.78 ERA and 34:16 K:BB ratio in 49 innings over nine starts. He surrendered just one earned run in his last outing but also walked four batters and couldn't make it through five innings.
Baker made one extended relief appearance with the Rangers earlier in May, giving up two earned runs in 5 1/3 innings. In six starts with Triple-A Round Rock, he's 4-1 with a 3.32 ERA and 30:11 K:BB ratio in 38 innings.
Included was the signing of veteran Scott Baker and promotion of Nick Tepesch from Triple-A Round Rock. Fellow right-hander Justin Germano has been designated for assignment.
Baker appeared in just one game with the club, tossing 5 1/3 innings with the club. He had posted a 3.32 ERA in six starts in the minors prior to his promotion.
Baker had the option to opt out of his contract with the Rangers when he wasn't on the major-league roster on May 1, but he decided to stick with the team, eventually getting the call a week later. He was 4-1 with a 3.32 ERA in six starts with Triple-A Round Rock, though he is expected to pitch in relief with the Rangers.
The only way the Rangers can keep Baker from opting out is to roster him in the majors, but it appears he prefers his situation with the club over taking a minor-league offer with another team. He is 4-1 with a 2.81 ERA in five starts at the Triple-A level.
Baker is only expected to opt out of his current deal if a major-league opportunity arises. He should know by Tuesday if one is in the works.
Baker peaked at 11-4 with a 3.45 ERA with Minnesota in 2008 and added three more solid years before being struck down by injury.
Baker is seeking to working his way back from Tommy John surgery that cost him nearly all of the last two seasons. The former top starter with the Twins struggled this spring with Seattle and, at age 32, might be at the crossroads of his career.
The minor league deal with Texas is expected to be worth $1 million if he makes the major league roster and earns bonuses. He can opt out on May 1.
The Rangers are still searching for answers in the back of their rotation, and Baker has been successful at the major-league level in the past. However, he struggled with the Mariners this spring, posting a 6.75 ERA and 1:7 K:BB ratio in 12 innings.
The Indians were in on Baker during the offseason but appear to be set with in-house candidates for the final spot in the rotation. Baker has been uneven this spring but has a solid history of success at the major-league level.
Baker missed all of 2012 and most of 2013 while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He struggled this spring, walking seven and hitting three batters while striking out just one and giving up 12 runs (nine earned) in 12 innings. Still, he has a career strikeout-to-walk rate of 3.40, well above average for starting pitchers, and he should be able to find a job with another team before too long.
Baker has posted a 3.38 ERA through eight innings over three starts but only has one strikeout to his credit this spring. He is competing for a spot in the rotation after working his way back from Tommy John surgery.
Baker tossed two scoreless frames before he was caught sleeping and allowed Keenyn Walker to steal home. It was his only blemish of the afternoon, as he allowed just three hits and no walks and strikeouts. He has allowed only one run through five innings of work this spring.
Baker worked two innings in the start, allowing two baserunners on a hit and a walk. He also struck out one batter while earning the win in a 5-3 victory.
Baker probably needs some injuries ahead of him in order to have a chance to make the Mariners rotation, though there are a couple right now that could open the door. Baker appeared in just three games a year ago, posting a 3.60 ERA in 15 innings after recovering from Tommy John surgery.
"I feel like I'm able to go out there and let the ball fly without any adverse affects and that's a good feeling," he told MLB.com.
Injuries to starting pitchers Hisashi Iwakuma and Taijuan Walker could allow Baker to slide into the rotation and maintain a spot early in the season if he performs well.
Baker missed most of the 2013 season recovering from Tommy John surgery, but made three late-season starts for the Cubs, posting a 3.60 ERA and 0.87 WHIP.
Baker spent most of his career in the AL pitching for Minnesota. He went 63-48 with a 4.15 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in seven seasons with the Twins, winning 10-plus games three times.
The Mariners are also reportedly in the running to sign Baker, who made three starts with the Cubs last season. Baker gave up six earned runs in 15 innings of work after returning from Tommy John surgery.
Baker came into the start having allowed just one run on five hits and one walk in 11 innings in two outings. He finishes the season with a 3.60 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, 6:4 K:BB ratio and no record.
Baker was efficient and effective, holding the Brewers to just two hits and a walk in five shutout innings. He needed just 55 pitches before being lifted for a pinch-hitter, and told reporters afterwards he felt fine.
"It felt very good," said Baker, who threw just 55 pitches before being pinch hit for in the fifth. "There were some emotions there. It's been a long road and I was happy my family was here to share this moment because they're just as much a part of this as I am. Rehab process is hard on everyone just not the player himself. It's been a long road so that definitely plays into it being a very special day for me and my family."
The Cubs could not make a 1-0 lead stand up for Baker, who settled for a no-decision in a 3-1 loss. His next start is likely to come Saturday against the Pirates.
It will be Baker's first start for the Cubs and his first start since having Tommy John surgery in 2012.
Baker was expected to return in May or June but complications with his elbow as he recovers from Tommy John surgery repeatedly pushed his schedule back. Baker has been shelled for 18 runs in 29 2/3 rehab innings, with 16 strikeouts against 10 walks.
"If anything right now, if we do activate him here, he'd just be a long guy," manager Dale Sveum said. "There's no plans to have him start or anything, unless there comes a point where we feel somebody needs a five-day break instead of four days. Right now, that's all wait and see."
Baker gave up one hit over five innings at Class A Kane County. He struck out two hitters and walked none. He's recovering from Tommy John surgery, and has not pitched in the majors this year.
Baker made his first rehab start August 18, going three innings. He has not pitched in the majors since 2011, and is currently trying to come back from Tommy John surgery.
Baker was cleared after he threw a bullpen session Monday. He has not pitched in the minors since July 29 due to three consecutive rain postponements. That said, he remains on track to rejoin the Chicago rotation by early September.
Baker was rained out of three consecutive rehab starts, with the most recent coming Aug. 7. He has yet to play this season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Baker hopes to be back with the Cubs by September as he continues to rehab from Tommy John surgery.
Baker is 0-3 with a 10.50 ERA and .377 opponents' batting average in four rehab starts between low Class A Kane County and Daytona.
"Sixty five pitches in 3 1/3 innings, that's 20 pitches per inning again," Sveum said, per MLB.com. "He's still not getting quick outs and what you want done in a 65-pitch outing."
Although the Cubs have dealt two-fifths of their rotation -- Matt Garza and Scott Feldman -- there are preaching patience with Baker.
"We're not too concerned [about Baker] because right now, we don't have a need right now, and we're OK with everything," Sveum said. "It's just kind of a slow development for him right now. We don't have a big need right now for a starting pitcher and we're OK with things progressing at a slow rate."
Baker has a 13.50 ERA in three rehab starts at Low Class A Kane County. According to Sveum, such struggles "come with the territory" of rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. The Cubs will wait until Baker can throw around 85 pitches in a game before determining the next step with him, but his return doesn't seem near at this point.
"It was kind of like the other ones, not super sharp, not a lot coming out," manager Dale Sveum told MLB.com Thursday. "He topped out at 88 [mph]. He's a little bit short right now."
Baker, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, has surrendered 13 runs on 8 2/3 innings in three games during his rehab assignment.
Baker took the loss, surrendering four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two over three innings. He's expected to make three more rehab appearances before rejoining the Cubs, possibly in early-August.
Though he has not been able to pitch for the Cubs yet this season, the team already has started preliminary discussions on bringing him back for 2014.
"He's a fantastic person and a real good teammate," Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer told MLB.com Wednesday. "He's one of those guys who, when he had a setback in Spring Training, he was apologetic to us."
Baker, who has not pitched since April 2012 when he had the surgery, is making $5.5 million this season. He could begin his rehab assignment for Class A Kane County soon.
Baker is coming back from Tommy John surgery but suffered a setback in spring training.
"It's always nice to have some clarity when dealing with an injury," Baker said Monday. "Any type of setback is not fun and there's never good timing for any sort of setback, but knowing what we're dealing with helps us deal with it better, obviously. With the type of injury it is, Doc likened it to a scab. You can't pick at it, you have to let it heal and rest and get back after it after that."
The Cubs have no timetable for his return at this point, and Baker said he'll be patient. He had hoped to return in mid-April, but that won't happen now.
"It is disappointing in the fact that one, I feel like I've sit out enough," Baker said. "I don't want to sit out any more than I have to. To sit here and say it's going to be at least a month more than we originally anticipated, it's tough. I've come this far. I'm not about to give up or give in. I'm just going to continue to try to get ready to pitch at whatever point during the season it is."
Baker was not expected to be healthy for opening day, but now it seems like his Cubs debut won't come until well into the season, if at all.
"It's hard not to feel OK about [Sunday's exam] because I am feeling much better," he said. "Obviously, we're doing something right as far as treatment and the medications are obviously helping."
Baker will meet with the Cubs' orthopedic specialist in Arizona. The team shut him down Monday after an MRI on his arm.
Baker, 31, did not pitch in the majors last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Re: Kirilenko gets the 2nd WC for Sofia MM YEC
I never liked this tournament very much. It is basically a chance for 8 players ranked roughly between 11 and 30 for some cheap points who are all more or less randomly selected. I don't see why a player ranked for instance 20 deserves this chance more than a player ranked for instance 17 just because the former won luckily an international while the latter did not. The numbers are just arbitrary here, no particular players in mind
Still, only the 2 finalists get a really high amount of points, but they don't have to beat top 10 payers, so it is in a way the easiest opportunity all year. For Kirilenko, this is the 4th tournament, she never participated although she was always top 30, so I think she totally deserves her wild card.

think about it
Thought about it. More than you apparently.
Murder is defined in it's simplest form as an unlawful killing. Various semantics abound, including it needing to be premeditated as opposed to spur of the moment for some definitions.
So by its very definition a lawful killing will not be a murder. Which is again why lawful killings are not termed murders by anyone but the woefully uninformed.
Nothing else to discuss.

Dead Weather Release "Triple Decker" Single
Since opening up shop in Nashville with his own label Third Man Records, Jack White has released plenty of unconventional albums, including glow in the dark singles, limited edition colored-wax LPs - even peach-scented records.
But the Dead Weather frontman has just announced his most unconventional release yet: a "Triple Decker" record for the band's "Blue Blood Blues," from their latest album Sea of Cowards. (Check out an exclusive live version of the song here.) The single, out this week, will be pressed as two separate 12 inch-ers with an additional 7" single (containing a previously unreleased Dead Weather track) housed inside.
"It might require a Swiss Army Knife or screw driver [to open]," White says in a clip where he explains the technology, which he's trademarked! "It's one of the many mind games we like to play with you at Third Man records."
The Dead Weather's Triple Decker Records will only be available in a limited edition of 300 copies, although White will also release in two other formats: an alternate 7" and another 12" edition, featuring alternate B sides "No Hassle Night" and a live version of "I Just Want to Make Love to You." If you're not too confused, grab 'em all!

Concerned Students Calling for a New Valpo Mascot
As students, we are proud of the excellent education we receive at Valparaiso University. We fully support VU\'s mission of \"scholarship, freedom, and faith\" and our education is preparing us to \"lead and serve in both church and society.\" This institution is a blessing and a home to us. Out of deep care for the future of VU, we are distressed about the use of the Crusader as our mascot. The Crusader does not accurately represent our university\'s ideals, nor does it unify the VU community. Furthermore, the Crusader does not uplift Valpo\'s reputation, particularly when displayed or referenced in other parts of the world. While we desire to understand our mascot as a crusader for justice or athletic victory, the word \"crusader\"

text: 'Walking Dead' executive producer Robert Kirkman talks about season premiereBy Clark Collis, EWUpdated 1:24 PM ET, Mon October 14, 2013Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) in Episode 1 of season 4 of "The Walking Dead."Story highlightsRobert Kirkman is the executive producer of "The Walking Dead"He said this season's theme is "Aren't these people too far gone"He also said The Governor will appear this seasonWatching the season 4 premiere of The Walking Dead, it was easy to imagine you had fallen into a Rick Grimes-esque coma and missed a few shows. When did Andrew Lincoln's much-tortured cop become so handy with a hoe? When was David Morrissey's depth perception-challenged maniac The Governor going to make an appearance? And, perhaps most bewilderingly, when did it become okay for Carol to call Daryl "Pookie"?To address these questions — and many more! — we spoke with Walking Dead comic writer and Walking Dead TV show executive producer Robert Kirkman.Entertainment Weekly: How much time has gone by in-between the end of season 3 and the start of season 4?Robert Kirkman: We say "a few months." Some people think a few is two, some people think a few is three. It's a vague answer.EW: What's up with Rick and the gardening?Kirkman: Well, we like to change things up. I have to say that is my favorite opening of any season thus far — just the fact that it's the Walking Dead but it's about a guy who comes out and starts hoeing a garden. I was thrilled about that from the moment that (Walking Dead showrunner) Scott Gimple suggested it.Just Watched'Walking Dead' creator on early careerreplayMore Videos ...'Walking Dead' creator on early career 02:27PLAY VIDEOJust Watched'Walking Dead' creator on show's successreplayMore Videos ...'Walking Dead' creator on show's success 00:51PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedBlindsided by 'The Walking Dead'replayMore Videos ...Blindsided by 'The Walking Dead' 05:12PLAY VIDEOWe always like coming in and showing that there's been a passage of time and these aren't the exact same characters that we last saw. I've always been willing to push the envelope with that. I feel that's a really cool thing to do, to come in and reintroduce the show to people, and set the stage for all the new things that are going to be coming. The fact that every season of the Walking Dead has been somewhat different thematically has been a really cool evolution and is something we hope to continue every season.EW: What would you say is this season's theme? Kirkman: It's a lot of what comes from that woman [in the woods] in the first episode: It's "Aren't these people too far gone?" And "Can these people retain a little bit of humanity?" We're going to be dealing with those questions a lot more intensely than we have thus far on the show. It's all about Rick coming from this place where he kind of went off the deep end in season 3. Rick feels like he failed at everything he was trying to do and so this is him trying a different path and seeing if he can make that work.EW: Maybe this a foolish thing to say based on having just seen the premiere. But this was the first ever Walking Dead show I couldn't at least roughly place in the chronology of the comic. Have you made a decisive break with that mythology?Kirkman: There's a lot of new elements at play here but we're definitely still dealing with a lot of things from the comic book. You'll see, starting with the second episode, there's some very big moments from the comic book that are being worked in in a different way. There will always be moments where you're like, "Oh, that's exactly like the comic book!" A lot of that stuff is coming up in future episodes.EW: I'm not a doctor — I just play one on TV — but I'm assuming there's some sort of nasty, swine flu-type virus abroad in the prison.Kirkman: Well, it's definitely some kind of nasty illness. Something that can make a guy go from cough-cough-I'm-not-feeling-well-can-I-go-lay-down? to essentially bleeding out in the shower after a few hours is something on the swine flu level — possibly a little bit more deadly.EW: And that kid Patrick coughed all over the water supply!Kirkman: Well, that shower water supply is fairly contained. That's like a bag that they fill up. I don't know how this works, I'm getting a little too technical here. All the water is contaminated! It's very dangerous! Be careful!EW: What did you name your family pig when you were a child?Kirkman: [Laughs] I find it offensive that you think because I'm from Kentucky I grew up with pigs. But "Samuel" is the answer.EW: Presumably Michonne is hunting the Governor, right?Kirkman: Yes, that is who she is after. The story there is that, after the events of season 3 and the death of Andrea, Michonnne and Daryl spent some time out in the wilderness looking for the Governor and eventually Daryl decided, "Look, this is a futile effort and we're not going to find this person." And Michonne kept it up.EW: She's heading to Macon. Is there any chance of her catching an Allman Brothers Band show while she's there?Kirkman: We can only hope that they are still performing shows. If that's where the Governor is and that's what she's doing I don't know how Michonne's going to handle that. She's gonna want to watch the show, she's gonna want to get revenge. She'll be be torn.EW: Here's a question you're not going to answer: How long before we see the Governor?Kirkman: [Laughs] Is this the question your boss makes you ask?EW: No one's the boss of me!Kirkman: He's definitely going to appear at some point this season. It's possible there are elements of his return that have already been set up in some ways you might not have noticed. But when he returns it will be at a time when you least expect it.EW: Is Woodbury now a ghost town?Kirkman: That will be dealt with in an upcoming episode.EW: The zombie hanging from the store ceiling by his intestines was a very nice touch.Kirkman: Look, if they ever need to rappel down something they're able to do that.EW: On the other hand, I'm not very happy with anyone referring to Daryl as "Pookie."Kirkman: [Laughs] Yeah, Norman asked for that. He makes everyone on set call him Pookie. We worked that into the show.EW: Judging from the premiere, I got the impression you will be exploring the character of Beth more this season than you have done previously.Kirkman: I think that to a certain extent we will be exploring all characters more than we have. This show has been doing a lot of world-building for the first three seasons. Now that we've got that out of the way, this season we're going to be intensely focused on the characters themselves. You'll learn a lot more about Beth, you'll learn a lot more about Daryl, you'll learn a lot more about Rick. We're going to be doing a lot of character work this season.EW: You're both world-building and empire-building. What's the status of the Walking Dead spin-off show?Kirkman: It's currently, quote unquote, "in development" so there's not really a lot to say about that.

Two University of Colorado Boulder faculty members, both from the ecology and evolutionary biology department, have received prestigious National Science Foundation Early Career Development, or CAREER, awards.
The awards, which went to assistant professors Pieter Johnson and Rebecca Safran, are made to outstanding faculty in the early stages of their careers who effectively integrate innovative research and educational outreach.
The University of Colorado Boulder welcomed 19 students from Brazil this semester as part of the new Science Without Borders Program and Brazil's initiative to place and fully fund outstanding students abroad to supplement their studies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM.
The University of Colorado Boulder exceeded its own researchers' expectations with its iDREAMS Scalable Game Design Summer Institute, and that success has been rewarded with a new $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation. CU-Boulder researchers are tracking how video game design engages students in computational thinking and STEM simulation design.
Liz Bradley is a great professor because she loved being a student. The computer science professor graduated from MIT with three degrees, a B.S., M.S., and Ph.D., in electrical engineering and computer science. And, while earning these degrees would be more than enough to earn bragging rights, Bradley earned her two graduate degrees while training as an Olympic rower. She took fifth place in the 1988 Olympic Games.
As a new year and the spring semester begin, the University of Colorado Boulder is welcoming the first class of journalism students entering under a new undergraduate degree structure called "Journalism Plus" that CU officials say will create better journalists, better news content and, over time, a more informed society.
A University of Colorado Boulder dancer and performance artist has won a $50,000 USA Fellowship Grant, an award designed to put unrestricted grants "directly into the hands of America's finest artists."
Michelle Ellsworth, an assistant professor of theatre and dance at CU, says she's honored, humbled and surprised by the award. Judging by the reviews she's gotten in recent years, others were not taken off guard.
Williams Village North, the University of Colorado Boulder's newest residence hall, has received a LEED platinum rating from the United States Green Building Council. The 500-bed residence hall is the first of its size in the nation to rank platinum -- the highest possible designation.
University of Colorado Boulder students will demonstrate innovative ideas and projects ranging from a safer climbing helmet to robot butlers at three expos over the next week. All of the events are free and open to the public.
Two University of Colorado Boulder professors are conducting research in Finland and the United Kingdom as Fulbright Scholars for the 2011-12 academic year.

Like Charles II, the sick man of Europe was 'an unconscionable time dying.' Time and time again from the seventeenth century observers predicted the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, yet it outlived all its rivals. As late as 1910 it straddled three continents. Unlike the Romanovs, Hohenzollerns or Habsburgs, the House of Osman was still recognised as an imperial dynasty during the peacemaking which followed the First World War.
