Shane Victorino Rumors
Red Sox Talking To Swisher, Out On LaRoche
Agreeing to sign Mike Napoli doesn't take the Red Sox out of the running for Nick Swisher, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, who says (via Twitter) that the Sox remain in talks with Swisher. Cody Ross and Shane Victorino also remain on Boston's radar, though the team is likely out of the running for Adam LaRoche, tweets ESPN.com's Jayson Stark.
The Red Sox were said on Friday to be one of a number of clubs that has spoken to Swisher's representatives. However, both Swisher and the Red Sox are considering their options, tweets Scott Miller of CBS Sports. Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald adds (via Twitter) that Boston's pursuit of Swisher had been moving slowly, though that could change now that the team has locked up Napoli.
Buster Olney of ESPN.com (Twitter link) believes the market for Swisher could become much clearer once Josh Hamilton signs. If Hamilton leaves Texas, Swisher could be a good fit with the Rangers, says Olney.

Overnight Links: LaRoche, Marlins, Giants, Delmon
MLBTR is providing 24-hour coverage of the Winter Meetings for the fourth straight year. I'll once again be handling overnight duties for the following four nights to keep track of late-breaking and crack-of-dawn news and rumors. Here's the latest from around the league…
- There is a "growing sense" that the Nationals and Adam LaRoche will get a new contract worked out, writes Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe. That transaction would make Michael Morse expendable, which would explain reports that the Nats and Rays are discussing Morse in a trade.
- The Marlins figure to be observers at this year's Winter Meetings, writes Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald. The team is likely to pursue bullpen options and bench depth.
- The Giants are still interested in Shane Victorino as a fallback option in the event that they are unable to re-sign Angel Pagan, tweets John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle.
- Giants general manager Brian Sabean told Shea that the team isn't in on any "high-ticket items" (Twitter link). As Shea notes, that should rule out Michael Bourn. I wonder if Sabean is also including Nick Swisher, who has been linked to the Giants, in that description.
- Delmon Young might wait until January to sign, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. Young is recovering from ankle surgery and wants to be healthy in his auditions for new teams.
- Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Brewers general manager Doug Melvin isn't inclined to go beyond two years in deals for free agent pitchers (Twitter link).
- John Lannan will be a popular name among teams in need of starting pitching depth, and the Twins are expected to kick the tires, according to Phil Mackey of 1500 ESPN (on Twitter). The Nationals non-tendered the 28-year-old southpaw on Friday.

West Notes: Dodgers, Giants, Angels, Padres
Here's a look at some news out of the AL and NL West..
- The Dodgers are letting teams know that shortstop Dee Gordon is available, tweets Bob Nightengale of the USA Today. Gordon could represent a fallback option for teams who lose out on Stephen Drew. Earlier today, we learned five teams are in on Drew.
- The Giants are looking for a center fielder and are talking to Michael Bourn, Angel Pagan, and Shane Victorino, tweets CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman.
- The Angels are aren't acting like they're confident of landing Zack Greinke, writes Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. The Angels seem to be trolling for much cheaper starting pitching options like Ryan Dempster and Shaun Marcum, as opposed to Anibal Sanchez and Kyle Lohse.
- The Dodgers' shopping list includes Greinke, a fourth outfielder that can play center, and a backup corner infielder, according to MLB.com's Ken Gurnick. Gurnick also says negotiations continue with lefty reliever Randy Choate.
- Padres GM Josh Byrnes doesn't expect to be very busy during the Winter Meetings, reports Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune. "I expect to do one thing, maybe two," said Byrnes. "I'm not expecting to do a lot. We're filling the holes, not roster reshaping." The Padres are looking for starting pitching and have depth at the corner outfield slots, in the bullpen, and at middle infield. The names most often mentioned as possible trade chips, according to Center, are Luke Gregerson, Joe Thatcher, and Jesus Guzman.
- The Rangers are interested in talking with the Mets about R.A. Dickey at the Winter Meetings this week, a source tells T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com. The Rangers aren't alone in having interest in the knuckleballer as the Mets have taken calls from six or seven teams looking to swing a trade. The Mets are expected to look for outfield help and catching in a deal.
- The Rockies are considering a run at left-hander Daniel Schlereth as they look to improve their bullpen, according to Thomas Harding of MLB.com. The 26-year-old became a free agent this week when he was non-tendered by the Tigers.
- The Rockies are looking to restore their rotation, but not rebuild it entirely, writes Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post. The club will look to bolster their starting five with a veteran presence and they are known to have interest in free agent right-hander Kevin Correia.

Olney: Winter Meetings Preview
The Winter Meetings begin shortly at the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville. ESPN's Buster Olney, in an Insider-only post, writes past Winter Meetings have been dominated by free agent signings, but some GMs say there is more groundwork laid for possible trades this year than they can remember in the recent past. Here are some of the storylines that could play out this week, according to Olney:
- If Olney was Rangers' GM Jon Daniels, he would go all out to sign Zack Greinke and then trade some surplus pitching for offense.
- Some rival officials remain convinced the Diamondbacks will eventually trade Justin Upton, whose contract ($38.5MM due over the next three years) has become more attractive in the wake of his brother's deal with the Braves.
- The Indians have set the bar high in their demands for Asdrubal Cabrera and Shin-Soo Choo. "Time will tell on whether they've lowered (the asking prices)," said a rival GM.
- The most likely of the Rays' established starting pitchers to be dealt is Jeremy Hellickson. On paper, the best matchup appears to be the Padres.
- The Reds are looking to acquire a leadoff hitter and could target Dexter Fowler.
- The Phillies continue to push on Angel Pagan. If Pagan signs with Philadelphia, the Giants could look to Shane Victorino, who is looking for $9-10MM annually.
- The Pirates have let other teams know that closer Joel Hanrahan is available and they are looking for starting pitching.
- In a separate tweet, Olney says the perception among rival executives is the signing of David Wright makes it much easier for the Mets to trade R.A. Dickey without fear of a PR backlash.
- Nate Schierholtz received calls from nine teams within the first 12 hours of being non-tendered with the Yankees in the mix and the Rays also a good fit (Twitter links).

Olney's Latest: Price, Dickey, Mariners, Kazmir
In today's Insider-only blog post, ESPN's Buster Olney says David Price is available right now for the right offer. Rival executives are convinced the reigning Cy Young Award winner will be traded in the next 13 months as his salary through arbitration becomes prohibitive for the Rays. Here are the rest of Buster's rumors…
- The Rays and Price are not close to working out a long-term contract extension.
- The Mets increased their offer to R.A. Dickey, but it's unclear how close the two sides are to a deal.
- Olney speculates that the non-tendered Nate Schierholtz could be a fit for the Yankees, who are looking for a right fielder to replace Nick Swisher.
- The Mariners have money to spend, but it appears they will have to overpay to land any premium free agents.
- Last night we learned the Phillies are pursuing Angel Pagan, and Olney clarifies (on Twitter) that the two sides have been talking for weeks.
- If the Giants don't re-sign Pagan, Olney says (on Twitter) they would seriously consider signing Shane Victorino.
- Scott Kazmir is pitching in winter ball and teams have already started to show interest in the 28-year-old left-hander, tweets Olney.
- The Tigers continue to say they are not in the market for a closer, tweets Olney.

Quick Hits: Simmons, Upton, Braves, Reds, Astros
The third episode of Rosters and Rumblings, the new podcast featuring MLBTR's Ben Nicholson-Smith and Jason Martinez of MLB Depth Charts, was recorded today. Check out the podcast for discussion of the non-tender deadline, the David Wright extension and the Russell Martin signing. Here's the latest from around the league…
- The Diamondbacks want Andrelton Simmons from the Braves in a Justin Upton trade, reports Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (on Twitter). Earlier this month we heard the Rangers tried to acquire Simmons so they could flip him to Arizona for Upton.
- Meanwhile, Dave O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal Constitution says (on Twitter) the Braves have interest in free agent outfielders like Ryan Ludwick, Shane Victorino, and Cody Ross even after signing B.J. Upton.
- Both the Braves and Reds are trying to acquire a leadoff hitting left fielder, reports ESPN's Jim Bowden (on Twitter). Both teams had interest in Denard Span before he was traded to the Nationals.
- The Reds have had conversations with the representatives for Victorino and Angel Pagan, GM Walt Jocketty confirmed to John Fay of The Cincinnati Enquirer. "Nothing formal though," added the GM, who confirmed speaking with Ludwick's agent as recently as last week.
- Even after claiming and signing Phil Humber, Astros GM Jeff Luhnow told MLB.com's Brian McTaggart that he is still in the market for pitching (Twitter link).

NL East Notes: Wright, Upton, Raburn, Lannan
Zack Greinke turned down a potential trade to the Nationals two years ago when he was a member of the Royals, but now that the Nats are the defending NL East champs and have added Denard Span as their latest upgrade, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal thinks that Greinke (or any free agent) would see Washington as a prime destination. The Nationals have been mentioned as one of Greinke's top suitors this winter, along with the Dodgers, Angels and Rangers, so there's a possibility the right-hander could yet end up in D.C. two years later.
Here are some items from around the division…
- David Wright may wait under after the Winter Meetings to decide on the Mets' seven-year, $124MM extension offer, reports Mike Puma of the New York Post. A Mets source speculates that Wright and his representatives may wait due to their unhappiness that negotiations were made public. Wright and agent Seth Levinson told MLBTR earlier this week that rumors about the contract talks were inaccurate.
- The Phillies' best offer to B.J. Upton was a five-year, $55MM contract, tweets MLB.com's Mark Bowman. Upton agreed to a five-year, $75.25MM pact with the Braves yesterday.
- The Braves and Marlins are two of a half-dozen teams interested in free agent utilityman Ryan Raburn, reports ESPN's Jayson Stark (Twitter link). The Rays and Rangers are two of the other known teams.
- The Nationals still have a minor league option remaining on left-hander John Lannan, reports Mark Zuckerman of Nats Insider. Washington could keep Lannan at Triple-A as rotation insurance again, though MLBTR's Tim Dierkes thinks Lannan will be non-tendered rather than earn a projected $5MM in his third year of arbitration eligibility.
- Shane Victorino "might actually represent the best value on the market," writes David Murphy of the Philadelphia Daily News, though Murphy doesn't think the Phillies will look for a reunion with their former outfielder. The Phils haven't been linked to Victorino this offseason, though at least seven teams are known to be interested in the Hawaiian.

Quick Hits: Mauer, Boras, Upton, Park
MLBTR's Tim Dierkes will interview Peter Gammons of MLB Network tomorrow, and if you have any particular questions you'd like Tim to ask the Hall of Famer we'd like to hear them. To get in touch you can leave a comment below, reach us on Twitter (@mlbtraderumors) or use MLBTR's contact form. Here are today's links…
- An executive who asked the Twins about Joe Mauer heard the catcher isn't available, ESPN.com's Jayson Stark reports (on Twitter). Not only does Mauer have a no-trade clause, he's the face of the Twins and Minnesota isn't looking to dump salary.
- Yahoo's Tim Brown tells the story of a recent meeting between Scott Boras and Marvin Miller. Check out Brown's entire piece, which includes some thoughtful quotes from Boras and is definitely worth your time. Miller, the first executive director of the MLBPA, died this week at the age of 95.
- Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com previews the outfield market in the aftermath of B.J. Upton's five-year, $75.25MM contract with the Braves. The Phillies' best offer to Upton was worth $55MM over five years, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports (on Twitter). The Red Sox weren't in on Upton, but have been in on Shane Victorino, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports (on Twitter).
- Chan Ho Park is set to announce his retirement tomorrow, reports Korea's Yonhap News Agency (passed on by C. Trent Rosecrans of CBS Sports). The 39-year-old right-hander was the first Korean-born player to reach the Major Leagues, posting a 4.36 ERA in 476 games over his 17 seasons in MLB from 1994-2010. Park earned $85.46MM (hat tip to Baseball Reference) during his Major League career and pitched for seven teams. Park spent the last two seasons pitching in Japan and South Korea, respectively.

Seven Teams Interested In Victorino
B.J. Upton's name has dominated the conversation regarding free agent center fielders lately, but Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that the Indians, Rangers, Yankees, Giants, Rays, Red Sox and Reds all have interest in another free agent center fielder — Shane Victorino.
Several teams, according to Heyman, are willing to offer three years to Victorino in spite of his slow finish to the 2012 season. Victorino is willing to move to a corner outfield spot, though he has a track record of solid defense in center field.
Victorino stole a career-high 39 bases in 2012 (with a brilliant 87-percent success rate), but his 11 homers were his lowest total since 2009. He slumped at the plate following a trade to the Dodgers and finished the season with a .255/.321/.383 batting line, which will likely prevent him from securing the five-year contract he sought prior to the 2012 season.
In a recent Free Agent Faceoff, Victorino came up just short to fellow center fielder Angel Pagan when roughly 56 percent of readers voted that they preferred Pagan to Victorino.

Amaro On Phillies, Upton, Bourn, Marlins
The Phillies haven't made any major additions to their team to this point in the offseason, but they continue working to address their biggest needs, GM Ruben Amaro Jr. told Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com. "We've had some good discussions, some fruitful discussions, with agents as well as other clubs," Amaro said. "There are some situations where we're waiting right now on someone to say 'yes,' and other situations where other teams are waiting for us to say 'yes.' It's an interesting dynamic right now." Here's the latest on the Phillies, who are looking to contend again following an 81-81 season in 2012:
- Amaro still wants to add at least one outfielder and a veteran reliever for the eighth inning. The club could also pursue help at third base, though that could depend on the team's search for outfielders.
- Reading between the lines, Salisbury suggests the Phillies have reached out to the Marlins to see if they'd trade Giancarlo Stanton in a follow up to Miami's recent blockbuster trade with the Blue Jays. "We've made some inquiries about a lot of players that went in that trade, both to Toronto and to Miami," the GM acknowledged. "But nothing imminent so far."
- Amaro said he has not received any indication that former Phillies closer Ryan Madson is opposed to pitching in a setup role. Madson underwent Tommy John surgery before the 2012 season and is now a free agent.
- While B.J. Upton appears to be the Phillies' top target, Amaro also mentioned free agents Angel Pagan, Michael Bourn and Shane Victorino as other potential center field options. "We can't put all our resources in one area and not address others," Amaro said. He added that the Phillies are more likely to add an outfielder or two in free agency than via trades.
- Earlier this month I previewed the Phillies' offseason.

Juno or litolier
capejohnDecember 22, 2009
Are there any major differences between Juno and Litolier for recessed lighting?
I need 5 inch set ups for kitchen and hallways and a couple of 4 inch for a smaller hallway. I've seen the litolier but have not seen the Juno...someone suggested Juno, but haven't been able to find a display of them. If the Juno have great quality, I'll look more... but if the litolier are the ones that people like... I'll just get them since they looked okay to me.... at least more quality than the Halo product I saw. Thanks for the suggestions.

The dead world at the fringes of the Solar System: Stellar eclipse shows 'dwarf planet' 4bn miles from the Sun has no atmosphere
- Makemake is one of five distant worlds orbiting our sun which are known as dwarf planets
- It lies just inside the Kuiper Belt, more than 4bn miles from the sun and completes an orbit every 310 years
- Findings come thanks to rare stellar occultation, where the planet passed in front of a distant star
A 'dwarf planet' discovered seven years ago near the edge of the Solar System is a dead, frozen world with no atmosphere, scientists have learned.
Makemake, named after a Polynesian god, was discovered in 2005 but scientists have just now made the first detailed study of this distant planet's size, shape and surface.
Two-thirds the size of Pluto and further from the sun, it is one of five distant worlds orbiting our system that are recognised as dwarf planets.
But it is not as far out as Eris, the most massive known dwarf planet.
Scroll down for video
A dead world: This artist impression provided by the European Southern Observatory and the journal Nature, shows the surface of the distant dwarf planet Makemake, with our Sun visible as a bright star
A chance passing in front of a star - an event known as stellar occultation - allowed astronomers from the European Southern Observatory to check whether Makemake had an atmosphere, as had been suspected.
They discovered that it had virtually none.
The icy mini-planet lies in the Kuiper Belt - a region littered with frozen objects - more than four billion miles from the Sun. It completes an orbit every 310 years or so.
The ESO team were also able to infer that Makemake has the shape and appearance of an oblate spheroid - a body that is shaped like a sphere but is not perfectly round - just like our own planet.
The researchers combined data from telescopes in Chile and South America as the dwarf planet slid across space.
What they observed was surprising: previous observations of Makemake suggested similar conditions to Pluto's thin atmosphere - which is about a millionth of Earth's.
Dr Jose Ortiz, of the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia, said: 'As Makemake passed in front of the star and blocked it out the star disappeared and reappeared very abruptly rather than fading and brightening gradually.
'This means the little dwarf planet has no significant atmosphere.
'It was thought Makemake had a good chance of having developed an atmosphere. That it has no sign of one at all shows just how much we have yet to learn about these mysterious bodies.
'Finding out about Makemake's properties for the first time is a big step forward in our study of the select club of icy dwarf planets.'
Our Solar System: Makemake lies in the Kuiper Belt - a region littered with frozen objects - more than four billion miles from the Sun. It completes an orbit every 310 years or so
Makemake's lack of moons and distance from us make it difficult to study. The team's new observations allowed them to determine its size more accurately, put constraints on a possible atmosphere and estimate its density.
They also allowed the astronomers to measure how much of the Sun's light Makemake's surface reflects - its albedo.
Makemake's albedo, at about 0.77, is comparable to that of dirty snow, higher than that of Pluto, but lower than that of Eris.
An albedo of 1 represents a perfectly reflecting body that reflects 100 per cent of light shining on it, and 0 a black surface that does not reflect at all.
Mini worlds: This graphic shows the sizes of the dwarf planets relative to Earth
Stellar occultations happen rarely but allow astronomers to find out a lot about the sometimes tenuous and delicate atmospheres around these distant members of the solar system, as well as other properties.
Occultations are particularly uncommon in the case of Makemake, because it moves in an area of the sky with relatively few stars.
A new planet labelled a 'super-Jupiter' has been spotted by astronomers who believe the find could challenge ideas about planet formations.
Scientists have long debated the prospect of large stars given birth to planets in a rotating disk of dust and gas but the new find suggest this could now be true.
Captured by Japan's Subaru 8-metre telescope the planet, thought to be 13 times larger than our solar system's biggest planet, Jupiter, the object was spotted orbiting a star called Kappa Andromedae.
At more than two and a half times the mass of the sun and located 170 light-years away from Earth, the star is far from insignificant either.
And based on observations by scientists, it appears the 'super Jupiter' has formed in the same way ordinary, lower-mass exoplanets do, by growing as one mass together to from a 'protoplanetary disk' of material orbiting a star in its infancy.
Accurately predicting and detecting them is extremely difficult and the successful observation ranks as a major achievement.
Dr Ortiz said: 'Pluto, Eris and Makemake are among the larger examples of the numerous icy bodies orbiting far away from our Sun.
'Our new observations have greatly improved our knowledge of one of the biggest, Makemake - we will be able to use this information as we explore the intriguing objects in this region of space further.'
Makemake, initially known as 2005 FY9, was discovered a few days after Easter in March 2005 - earning it the informal nickname of Easterbunny.
In July 2008 it was given the official name of Makemake - after the creator of humanity and god of fertility in the myths of the native people of Easter Island.
Dwarf planets were officially recognised by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2006 after a debate about the correct definition of a planet.
The IAU decided to demote Pluto to the status of dwarf planet, meaning that officially the Solar System now has eight 'regular' planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
The other three dwarf planets are Ceres, Haumea and Eris
Details of the Makemake research appeared in the latest issue of the journal Nature.

The Words
From the critics

I've seen this movie at least twice, and I still can't recall, after a few weeks, what the ending is. Some interesting points about plagiarism, but nothing major.
A beautifully layered story with a great twist at the end - loved it. The actors did a wonderful job, bravo!
Above average romantic drama. Different storyline than I expected. Kind of slow, but well acted and not your run of the mill plot or ending. Dark and brooding instead of inspiring.
Not that great. Seems like a case of the lead actor (Bradly Cooper) producing it to give himself an acting part - maybe because no one else wanted to. Flashbacks and little plot twists are not enough to save it; a "what does it all mean" ending is pretty weak. Jeremy Irons' talent is wasted in this made-for-TV? movie.
This is a terrific movie! Cooper,Quaid and Irons are the perfect storm. Recommend this to anyone who loves a great story. Would watch this again in a heartbeat.
I had put off seeing this film, but I actually found it to be MUCH more interesting than the trailers led had me to expect.
This was engaging for about 2/3 of the movie. Then it became negative and silly in our opinion. I think however, that quite a few people will probably enjoy it.
One big plus is that it is an unusual story and initially very engaging.
5) "The Words" spoke to me about mistakes, redemption, reality and perception. Quite a good cast, a well-written plot and always a question of where's reality? Were talents wasted, or missed? Were dreams too real, too enticing, too intermingled? Is life too harsh? The mistakes were horrendous and have devastating consequences, but the intents were inadvertent, perhaps character flaws, at most indecision at crucial times. "Life happened" says one character adamantly, in defense? What can, or do, we do about mistakes? Move on – of course, a certainty concept taught from childhood. Until you've made one and been caught inside the barrel going over Niagara Falls. "Whoops" (I was disturbed when my dentist let that slip out) or "I'm so sorry", even with genuine regret, doesn't change repercussions. Maybe nothing does, then what? It changes you, and worst, it changes someone else. Does blame matter and when does it relent? As my great-aunt said "I can understand and forgive, but I won't be able to forget."
I didn't really like this movie. The only parts I did like were of the old man, and when he was younger - the rest could have been left out and I would have liked it a lot more. It took me 2 days to watch this, 30 minutes into it I fell asleep!
I liked this film. Interesting storyline. I liked the story within a story concept as well and how it all came together. I wanted to see more of the story at the end though. I guess that is a good thing.

SummaryAdd a Summary
Rory Jansen (Bradley Cooper) is a struggling writer. He gets married to Dorah (Zoe Saldana) on their trip to Paris. Dorah buys him this nice leather bag. Later on Rory finds a manuscript. He re-writes the entire story. Then he is given the chance to Publish it. But in the time of the success Rory is soon met by a old man who tells him that it's his story. That it was his fall in love, loss, and ended up alone.
Then the story jumps to a book reading by Clay (Dennis Quaid) who is reading his new book 'The Words'. He meets Daniella (Olivia Wilde) who goes to his apartment. They talk about the ending.
Rory goes to see The Old man and
after a fight the Old man tells him that he has to live with his choices and that he didn't want a pay out or anything. (it is mentioned that the old man dies a few weeks later).
Rory never owns up to his lies.
Daniella is asks about the ending believing that it is not truly the end. Clay tells her to tell him how it should end. She says that Rory and Dorah's marriage falls apart and Clay is left alone in his success.
In the end they hint that Clay is Rory.

Blossom End Rot and Dried up Flowers
Hi all,
First time tomato grower here... I have BER. I am using rockwool as my medium and I am using advanced nutrients line of products "micro, grow, bloom." The plants are great - huge monsters with tons of blooms - most of which dry up (another issue altogether related to the fact that I'm indoors and humidity, and too much nitrogen I suppose).
What do you all suggest I do to cure this issue? Should I yank the 4 toms that have BER?
How can I ensure that my future fruit dont have BER in my set-up, and how can I ensure that my blooms turn to fruit?
Thank you.
Some photos:
If you are still trying to decide what to do: go to the drug or health store
& buy calcium gluconate, make a foliar spray ( +/- 1 bottle top diluted in 1 gallon of distilled water).
This will be first aid, if BER due to deficiency, as you try to sort out your nutrient uptake variables. Ugly as blossom end rot is there is no urgency to yank the plants if they can still flower anew.
Make sure to flick/shake/vibrate the flowers so they pollinate. Toms typically produce more flowers than need so they can be selectively eliminated , just like suckers.

|Be warned that this wiki is filled with SPOILERS about the Naruto series. This is your only warning, read at your own risk!
Twelve years before the start of the series, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konohagakure destroying much of the village and taking many lives. The leader of the village, the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails into a newborn, Naruto Uzumaki. Orphaned by the attack, Naruto was shunned by the villagers, who out of fear and anger, viewed him as the Nine-Tails itself. Though the Third Hokage outlawed speaking about anything related to the Nine-Tails, the children — taking their cues from their parents — inherited the same animosity towards Naruto. In his thirst to be acknowledged, Naruto vowed he would one day become the greatest Hokage the village had ever seen. Read more...
|Featured Chapter
Noticing a slight crack on Tobi's mask, Guy and Naruto thought that Naruto's last attack had actually hit the mask; however Kakashi disagrees, noting that the type of crack was not consistent with a punch, but a sharper object. Kakashi then remembers the lightning-imbued kunai he had thrown earlier at Tobi and had warped away with Kamui. B takes the opportunity to strike the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path as it continues to transform into the Ten-Tails, but the attack is deflected when Tobi erected a barrier, rendering the team powerless to strike the statue until they defeated him. After he had finished formulating his strategy, Kakashi then tells the group to aid him in testing his hypothesis. They then leapt unto B's hand, who launched them directly at Tobi, commencing the plan. Guy starts off using his Sōshūga only for Tobi to avoid it using his dematerialisation ability, predicting Guy's moves with his Sharingan. Jeering Tobi, Guy gets the masked man to absorb his nunchaku rendering him tangible. This allows Naruto to follow up quickly by launching a Rasengan, which Tobi phases through, insisting on the futileness of the strategy. However, the Rasengan seemingly dispersed before passing through Tobi, continued by a sudden explosion that inflicted his right arm and hurled him away, having him to get on his feet again thanks to his weapon. Tobi then realised that the attack was transported to the other dimension using Kamui, just as he was about to materialise. Realising Tobi's ability now, Kakashi notes that Tobi was not using two separate techniques to dematerialise and warp things away, but a single technique.

All the Practical Stuff You Need To Know About Wedding Invitations
There is no shortage of online resources about wedding invitations. In fact, the problem many engaged couples planning weddings have is not finding online information about these specialized types of invitations.
Their problem is that there are just way too many resources out there. It is very hard to make sense of all the advice out there. Many of these articles and blog posts even contradict each other. How do you know which resources to trust? How do you know which blog posts to ignore? This guide helps you cut through the confusion and conflicting information found on the internet about wedding invitations.

Wedding Favors
Make your wedding extra special and memorable with the right wedding favors
Just like the love you're celebrating with your wedding, the value of your wedding favors don't turn on how much money they cost or how fancy their brand labels may be. Wedding favors don't have to cost an arm and a leg because their real value isn't measured by the number of digits on a price tag or measured by the status star power of the department store you bought them from. Instead, their value comes from how well they sum up the specialness of the bond you're celebrating.

Why you should get wedding insurance coverage and how to find the right policy
Your wedding is one of the most important, if not the most important, events in your life. Everything has to go right. Every detail has to be just right. Everything has to go according to plan. Unfortunately, life is what happens when you are making other plans. Things often find a way of not taking place according to plan. In many cases, regardless of how well and how intensively we've thought things through, things still don't manage to pan out as we imagined them to.

The whole point of wedding gift registries is to guide your wedding guests to give you stuff that you can actually use.

Matthew Hatton announces retirement
September, 5, 2013
By Dan Rafael | ESPN.com
AP Photo/Jae C. HongIt was always entertaining to watch Matthew Hatton inside the ring.
England's Matthew Hatton, the younger brother of former two-division titleholder Ricky Hatton and a regular on his brother's undercards, announced his retirement from boxing this week after a 13-year pro career.
While Matthew Hatton (43-7-2, 17 KOs), 32, did not achieve what his brother did, he was in a lot of crowd-pleasing fights and reached his peak when he won the vacant European welterweight title by outpointing Gianluca Branco in 2010.
Hatton defended the title twice, but gave it up for a shot at a world title. He faced Canelo Alvarez for a vacant junior middleweight belt in 2011 and lost a lopsided decision. Hatton fought his last fight in March, losing a decision to Chris van Heerden in South Africa.
"When you've got kids, you begin to realize what is important in life and when you've got a doctor pointing out all the possibilities of what could go wrong, it puts things into perspective," Hatton told England's Sky Sports. "I've got two young children now and even though they can act as a motivation tool for fighters, they also highlight the risks that a fighter takes every time we step into the ring.
"That European title run was a big highlight for me because it finally showed people that I was a good fighter and I could certainly mix it at a high level. I've had to work hard in every single fight from the get-go but that has made me the fighter who I am and boxing has given me so many memorable nights."

"CHICAGO - The squat brick buildings of Grove Parc Plaza, in a dense neighborhood that Barack Obama represented for eight years as a state senator, hold 504 apartments subsidized by the federal government for people who can't afford to live anywhere else.
But it's not safe to live here.
About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition.
Grove Parc has become a symbol for some in Chicago of the broader failures of giving public subsidies to private companies to build and manage affordable housing - an approach strongly backed by Obama as the best replacement for public housing."
Source and full article
"Obamas subsequent campaigns except his presidential bid. Rezko is on Obamas campaign committee in his failed run against U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush and gathers between $50,000 and $75,000 of the estimated $600,000 raised, Obama said. Rezko also is on the finance committee for Obamas 2004 U.S. Senate run. Rezko uses his Wilmette home for an Obama fundraiser.
My best assessment is that he raised $160,000 during my U.S. Senate primary, Obama said, adding that those funds had since been given to charity."

Christie I can't grow the wave petunias either. Try supertunia bubble gum pink; it looks good for a long time. It is expensive, but worth it. And you could grow Glenda's petunias or Laura Bush could be Barbara Bush petunia. They will reseed.
Glenda I started them way too early. I even started one or two from cuttings because I had to cut them back before it was warm enough outside.

Hospice patient guest of honor at Darius Rucker concert
Staff Report
Country music, on a record or the radio, has always gotten Joyce Doyle's toes tapping. The 64-year-old likes them all, from classics like Johnny Cash to star Garth Brooks — but a special favorite is Darius Rucker.
"He's got a great voice," Doyle said, laughing. "And he's nice to look at, too."
The hospice patient, a resident of Asta Care Center of Rockford, had the evening of a lifetime as a special guest at Rucker's concert in DeKalb when she received tickets through non-profit Passages Hospice Dreams.
As an added surprise, Doyle was escorted past the crowds for an exclusive meet-and-greet session with the singer, who gave her a hug and signed the cowboy hat she'd purchased especially for the occasion.
"I'm going to have the best dreams tonight," Doyle said with a smile.
Doyle's dream was fulfilled by Passages Hospice Dream Foundation, Ltd., a non-profit charitable organization that provides the Passages Hospice Dreams service, which grants wishes for patients receiving end-of-life care and for the patient's family members, and through the generous cooperation of the Darius Rucker organization.
