If ever there was a night to feel ageless, it was Monday at AARP The Magazine's 11th annual Movies for Grownups Awards.
Honorees Meryl Streep and Glenn Close, both in their 60s, have been dazzling movie audiences for more than 30 years and they certainly dazzled the crowd, as did Lifetime Achievement Award winner Sharon Stone, 53, looking hip and chic in black leather boots and jacket.
The ladies weren't the only ones looking good at the event celebrating films with particular relevance to the 50-plus demographic. Host Michael Nouri and old friends Perry King and Bruce Boxleitner, all in their 60s, were as dapper on the red carpet Monday as they were handsome in their 1979 miniseries, The Last Convertible. In fact, glamour was the watchword of the night.

As of Saturday, December 8, 2012

Albany Herald
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Josh Smith had 24 points, Lou Williams scored 18 of his 21 in the second half, and the Atlanta Hawks beat the Memphis Grizzlies 93-83 on Saturday night.
Al Horford had 19 points and grabbed 14 rebounds for Atlanta, which won for the ninth time in its last 10 games. Jeff Teague finished with 13 points and six assists.
Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol scored 18 points apiece, Randolph grabbing 13 rebounds as Memphis lost at home for only the second time this season. Rudy Gay scored 17 points, but was 7 of 25 from the field. Mike Conley finished with 12 points.
The game was close until the middle of the third quarter, when Atlanta erased a five-point deficit with 20 unanswered points to build a lead that Memphis could not overcome.
Atlanta shot 44 percent for the game, and held Memphis to 43 percent. Atlanta has not allowed an opponent to shoot 50 percent this season.
The Hawks outrebounded Memphis 44-40, including 14 off the offensive glass. Atlanta also outscored the Grizzlies in the paint 42-38.
The difference was in the second half, as Atlanta outscored Memphis 52-36 as Williams and Smith pushed the rally.
Memphis carried a 47-41 into halftime behind Gasol and Randolph, who had 14 and 12 respectively, Randolph also grabbing nine rebounds.
For the most part, the stats were close in the first half, the Memphis advantage coming from going 4 of 7 from outside the arc compared to the Hawks hitting 2 of 6.
Memphis would hold an eight-point lead in the half, while the Hawks managed only a two-point advantage.
Atlanta turned up the defensive pressure to open the second half, leading to a 10-4 run and a tie at 51. Memphis missed six of its eight shots in the early minutes of the third quarter and committed three turnovers to allow Atlanta to pull even.
Atlanta would continue to push the pace, and the Grizzlies were dragging. The Hawks would craft a 20-0 run as Memphis went almost 5 minutes without scoring.
The rally would put Atlanta up by 73-58, Williams connecting on three straight from beyond the arc.
Williams would have 13 points in the third, helping the Hawks outscore Memphis 32-13 in the period, for a 73-60 lead entering the fourth.
That was enough for Atlanta to withstand a Memphis push that got the Grizzlies within six points on at least two occasions in the fourth.
Both times, Smith scored inside, the second time also drawing a foul. That was part of Smith scoring seven straight Atlanta points, and when Williams connected on his fourth 3-pointer of the night, the Hawks had stretched the lead back to double digits.
NOTES: Both teams were playing the second game of a back-to-back. .The game was the nightcap of a doubleheader at the FedExForum. The University of Memphis defeated Austin Peay 83-65 in an afternoon contest. . Hawks G DeShawn Stevenson was available, but did not play for Atlanta because it was the second night of a back-to-back. Meanwhile, G Kyle Korver missed fourth straight game with back spasms. .Memphis had won 20 of its last 21 at home before the loss. .Gay had 17 points, scoring five points in the last minute, marking his 21st consecutive game with at least 14 points.

All signs point toward Watson as Ryder Cup captain
Wednesday - 12/12/2012, 7:05am EST
By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
(AP) - In the two months since a stunning loss in the Ryder Cup, the PGA of America talked about doing things differently when selecting its next captain.
Tom Watson certainly would break the mold.
Golf Digest reported on its website Tuesday night that the PGA of America plans to pick Watson, celebrated worldwide as an eight-time major champion and revered in Scotland where he won four of his five British Open titles.
"We look forward to sharing the news of the 2014 Ryder Cup captain on Thursday," PGA spokesman Julius Mason said when asked for comment.
The PGA of America spares no expense or amount of glitz when it comes to the Ryder Cup, and that much hasn't changed. Instead of a standard news conference, it will introduce its next captain Thursday morning during a segment on the "Today" show on NBC, the longtime broadcast partner at the Ryder Cup.
Later, it will have a news conference in the Empire State Building.
Watson will be 65 when the Ryder Cup is played at Gleneagles, Scotland, making him by oldest captain in U.S. history. Sam Snead was 57 when he was captain in 1969. Watson has not played a full PGA Tour schedule in 14 years, though he is still capable of showing the young kids a thing or two as one of the cleanest ball-strikers in history. Remember, it was only three years ago that Watson stood 8 feet away from capturing the British Open at Turnberry at age 59.
Stranger still, he says he has not been to a Ryder Cup since he last was captain in 1993 at The Belfry, which also was the last time the Americans won in Europe. And his relationship with Tiger Woods is much like how the weather can be in Scotland in the early fall _ cold and damp.
He would be the first repeat captain since Jack Nicklaus in 1987 on his home course of Muirfield Village.
Watson said over the weekend at the Australian Open that it would be a "great honor if I got tapped on the shoulder," though he said he had not spoken to the PGA.
The organization risks some fallout.
By taking a veteran of Watson's age would be to overlook Larry Nelson for the second time. Nelson is a three-time major champion _ twice at the PGA Championship _ who did not take up golf seriously until he returned from the Vietnam War. He had 9-3-1 record in the Ryder Cup and won all five of his matches in 1979, beating Seve Ballesteros in four of those matches. At least two former captains lobbied the PGA on behalf of Nelson, who was in line to be a captain in the 1990s.
Nelson is scheduled to play in the Father-Son Challenge pro-am Thursday and Friday in Orlando, Fla.
For the last 30 years, it was easy to predict the next American captain. The PGA of America tended to choose a former major champion still moderately active on the PGA Tour, which keeps him in touch with the current players. That ordinarily would point toward former PGA champion David Toms, though there has been discussion among PGA officials over the last month that Toms could wait until 2016 without any future candidate, such as Jim Furyk or Phil Mickelson, losing his turn.
PGA president Ted Bishop has said he wants only to win the Ryder Cup. Europe has captured the cup seven of the last nine times, the most recent loss one of the most painful. The Americans had a 10-6 advantage at Medinah only to lose on the final day when everything went right for Europe and just as much went wrong for the home team.
Love had said he wouldn't change anything about the week except the outcome, though he did not want to return as captain _ at least not for 2014.
"I can guarantee you it won't be me," Love said about the next captain.
Paul Azinger was captain of the only U.S. team to win the Ryder Cup in the last 13 years, using a unique system of "pods" in which players were broken into groups of four. There was talk that he should take the U.S. team over to Scotland, though Azinger said in a text message to The Associated Press he had not been in touch with the PGA of America.
Watson told reporters in Australia he had not been back to the Ryder Cup since those `93 matches at The Belfry.

Foul disgusting girls. They don't have to be fat, I have stumbled across quite a few skinny ones. Most I have learned tend to do or were heavily addicted to meth and coke. They tend to have rotten teeth, give horrid sex(not to mention STDS and AIDS), you can picture with a couple kids in a few years if not already. They tend to wear sweatpants, overalls and like to sport "Pooh Bear" overalls.

Customer Reviews for Home Theater White / Off-White New Additions Blindsgalore Curtains and Drapery
"Fantastic drapes"
By customer
I was hesitant to purchase these since I couldn't get a swatch, however I was extremely pleased with the drapes. I returned three other drapes from other places because I wasn't happy with the texture and appearance and I am very happy I ended up with these. They are very soft and appear to be durable. They do let light through but block the majority of it out. The stitching seems sound, I didn't notice any loose threads or runs. Out of the box I am very pleased.

The American Athletic Conference will be the new name for the former Big East Conference, ESPN reported, adding that the new name could become official as early as Thursday.
The old Big East needed a new name when the Catholic 7 schools -- DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, Seton Hall, St. John's and Villanova -- kept the Big East name when it announced it was splitting apart and forming its new league.
Commissioner Mike Aresco had favored renaming the league the America 12 Conference, but league presidents felt it was important not to include a number in the name.
The American Athletic Conference will look nothing like the old Big East.
In addition to the Catholic 7's departure, the league will lose Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Syracuse to the ACC on July 1. In 2014, Louisville departs for the ACC and Rutgers heads to the Big Ten.
To offset those losses, the American Athletic Conference will add full members UCF, Houston, Memphis and SMU on July 1. On July 1, 2014, East Carolina, Tulane and Tulsa will join the AAC and Navy will join as a football-only member on July 1, 2015.

Great Job! Placed two derbies in a row, and a 1st place this time!
I didn't think I could ever associate math and beauty, but this is GORGEOUS!
Another deserved print - congrats on first Radscoolian!
An appropriate color and design for all the night-owls staying up for Black Friday.
A black tee for Black Friday? What a deal. I really liked how this one looked in the derby, very subtle and with a mysterious feeling to it. Good job on the print.
Really cool at first glance. But from far away it unfortunately looks a bit like a fetus. Is that just me?
It's supposed to be a goat right?
Assassin15 wrote:Really cool at first glance. But from far away it unfortunately looks a bit like a fetus. Is that just me?
Yes, it's just you.
Wow, I was confused at first till I saw the larger image. Blown away so gorgeous. I've always been a fan of Fibonacci spirals.
Calm, yet poised to spring + reveal truths; nice
Just as I'd hoped - a black shirt on Black Friday! Great job Rads!
A few weeks ago I saw a lunar halo and it was beautiful! This reminds me of it.
I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason, this design is strangely appealing.
Even a blind squirrel is right twice a day.
Far away it looks like an evil bunny.
"They way the length of the sides of each square..." Hmm, a tryptophan-induced typo perhaps?
Fibonacci spiral... very nice!
Yes, I believe Radscoolian IS a very intelligent designer, Mr./Ms. Writeup Writer, considering the two amazing geeky-math designs I saw this week. (both of them fogged!)
ArdillaCiega wrote:I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason, this design is strangely appealing.
The golden ratio is arguably the most appealing thing in nature.
Hey! Thanks, everyone! I am very thankful for Woot and the Woot community! Happy post-turkey day!
Finally... a shirt that isn't some overly cute animal or a mediocre joke... I like shirts that are wearable art.
I'm really confused, is this a picture of some alien chick with large perky chest bits?
This totally reminds me of one of my favorite cartoons from childhood: Donald in Mathmagic Land (yes I was a total geek, even back then). Especially the part about the golden ratio.
Congrats on first! This really is beautiful.
rabidewok wrote:Wow, I was confused at first till I saw the larger image. Blown away so gorgeous. I've always been a fan of Fibonacci spirals.
I assumed at first glance it was using repeated golden ratios, to make a golden spiral for this picture but that would have been, er... irrational of me. (extra maths here) Oh but wait, a Fibonacci spiral approximmates a golden spiral! (see box one scroll down on the RHS), so they are very hard to tell apart. So, which is it? The title suggests a golden ratio which, as we know, is apparently the epitome of beauty. The Fibonacci spiral as a mere approximation wurely doesn't quite have those magical properties...
There should be a new math theorem such that math = beauty
Congrats on the print Rad. Excellent concept and I love the way the line work from the fibonacci spiral leads your eye to the moon. Now I'm going to be looking for that type of patter in real life.
Yes, this had to print! I very much like how this deals with the golden ratio in nature in a metaphorical way rather than picking out literal examples. Very creative image. Congratulations on a super wearable shirt, R.
Fibonacci spiral is a nice start. But if you look very closely, each tree branch is a fractal.

They say black is slimming. Too bad it looks terrible on me.
Am I the only one that immediately thought of the Nightmare Before Christmas when I saw this (I guess that would be fitting for Black Friday, as well). I'm picturing Jack walking over this landscape singing a song...
I would have to listen to Tool's Lateralus while wearing this shirt.
Wow.. for some who averaged a C minus in math throughout high schoool, this can be a bit confusing. I just spent an hour educating myself on Fibonacci and other related mathmatics linked to this shirt. Yeah, I want one now. It was a cool shirt before, but now it's even better..
great design, bet it'll print nice congrats to the artist
Do I really need another Woot shirt in my closet when today is Black Friday? ...meh, of course I do! It's not like I haven't been waiting all week for this derby to end, or anything :P
I was prepared to have been disappointed today ... I'm not disappointed. Congrats on 1st place, Rads! (I think this is like my ... ummm, 26th black woot shirt.)
I can't wait to receive this shirt in the mail I may not be a math major, but I've always loved the relation of math to nature and art. Great Job on the design!
Where are all the posts? Waiting in the checkout lines, no doubt.
Add me to the list, that's what I thought too. I blame my course genetics course on human developement I took in college.
Half of this shirt would probably be lost on me since I am not mathbrained, but I appreciate the pretty arty other half. :D

NYC Marathon runners can get refund of entry fee
Thursday - 12/20/2012, 6:40pm EST
By RACHEL COHEN
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - New York City Marathon runners can receive a refund of their entry fee after this year's race was canceled because of Superstorm Sandy.
When the event was called off last month, officials said they had a no-refund policy and hadn't decided whether to make an exception. The race organizer, New York Road Runners, informed entrants Thursday that they had three options to choose from _ one of them a refund.
If runners do not reclaim their money, they can have a guaranteed spot in the 2013, 2014 or 2015 marathon. They would have to pay the entry fee again, but at the 2012 rate. Getting into the race is extremely competitive, making a guaranteed spot very valuable to runners.
Or they can accept a spot in March's NYC Half, paying the entry fee for the 13.1-mile race _ though availability is limited.
NYRR President Mary Wittenberg said "nirvana" would have been to offer both a refund and free entry into a future marathon, but that wasn't affordable. The race had cancellation insurance, and Wittenberg said that once the payout was determined, the first priority was offering a refund.
"We appreciate that people came here trying to support the city, and we appreciate the investment people made," she said. "We never allowed ourselves an option that didn't include a refund."
In the weeks after the cancellation, Wittenberg said, runners had two main messages for NYRR. One was the possibility of a refund.
The other concerned the details of guaranteed entry into future races. Last month, organizers initially said runners could secure a spot into the 2013 event. But many out-of-town entrants feared they couldn't save up enough money or take enough time off work to make it back to New York so soon. They still hoped to run the marathon someday, so now they'll have the option of 2014 or '15.
"It was important to do everything we could possibly do," Wittenberg said.
Spreading out the runners over three years has an added benefit for marathon organizers. If only 2013 had been the option, next year's field likely would have been filled with mostly 2012 runners, leaving few new spots for entrants raising money for charity or just hoping to race New York for the first time. NYRR will stick with the same expected field size as this year, about 47,500 people, Wittenberg said.
Runners who got in by raising money for official race charities will have the same three options and won't be required to meet the fundraising minimum again to secure a guaranteed spot. About 8,000 runners affiliated with official charities were entered this year.
Wittenberg also hopes some spots can be filled by lottery in 2013. For 2012, close to 15,000 runners got in through U.S. and international drawings. Others qualify by meeting certain time standards in previous races or taking part in a designated number of NYRR events.
Sandy devastated neighborhoods across the New York area six days before the marathon was to have been run on Nov. 4. Among the hardest hit by flooding was Staten Island, home to the starting line. Mayor Michael Bloomberg and NYRR officials initially announced the race would go on. But as criticism mounted, they canceled the marathon less than 48 hours before it would have started.
By then, thousands of out-of-town runners had already arrived in New York, with international entrants often spending several thousand dollars on the trip. They vented that while they supported the ultimate decision, it should have been made days earlier, before they boarded planes.
Wittenberg still defends the initial plan to hold the marathon, which she and others had hoped would inspire the city and raise money for storm victims.
"Suffice to say, if everybody knew Tuesday and Wednesday what we knew Friday, if we knew it would play out like that, it sure would have been a lot better," she said.
Wittenberg insists the lasting legacy of that week will be the relief efforts in which many runners took part on what would have been Marathon Sunday. NYRR has continued to raise money since then, and Wittenberg would like to hold a charity race on Staten Island if borough officials are on board.
The half-marathon ends in lower Manhattan, another hard-hit area, and she expects that race will be a major fundraiser too.

Wrath of the Titans Synopsis
A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus (Worthington)the demigod son of Zeus (Neeson)is attempting to live quietly as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year-old son, Helius.
But unbeknownst to Perseus, a struggle for supremacy has been raging between the gods that will come to threaten his idyllic life. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing hold of their immortality, as well as control over the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades (Fiennes) and Poseidon (Danny Huston). The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous Underworld. Now, Perseus cannot ignore his true calling as Hades, along with Zeus' godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramirez), switches loyalties and makes a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titan's strength grows as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned...and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon's demigod son Agenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the Underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.

SusanMilwaukee, WIGreat Option For Self TanningThe smell is great on this product which is always my biggest concern with self tanners. It covered nicely and looked very natural, even my husband said I looked pretty but couldnt figure out what I had done. I had no streaking, but be sure to wash your hands immediately after applying.posted Feb 6, 2008Link to this post
DonnaBradenton, FLTried EverythingIve tried all the different tanning lotions and sprays and anything else under the SUN. Giesee has always been what Ive come back to. Its natural looking and not streaky. Always wear my latex gloves to apply and it blends right in.posted Jan 27, 2008Link to this post
KristenUtahFinally! Something That Works!I am a very fair-skinned individual who does not tan well at all. Ive been trying various sunless tanning products recently, hoping for a miracle before my upcoming vacation. Theyve all been disasters until I tried Sun. I cant speak to how it wears off, but Ive been very impressed with the application.Its true that the stuff in the bottle is scary-looking-dark. Once you rub it into the skin though, the difference is very subtle. Im practically ghost white and I bought the dark version and now I think I could have gotten the darkest version and still been able to achieve a moderate tan without looking extremely dark.The best part is that it goes on so smoothly! I did put lotion on my palms every time I squirted more tanner from the bottle, which may have helped. I also washed my hands about 4-5 times during the application over my whole body. I exfoliated once about two weeeks ago, and still it went on perfectly over problem areas like my feet, knees, etc. The color also looks very natural. After application, I waited about 1/2 hour before getting dressed, then put on old clothes, but didnt have any staining on them. Im loving this product and can see now why there are so many people raving about it!!posted Oct 19, 2007Link to this post
SharonDoesn't Smell Too WeirdI think with any tanning product theres going to be a little bit of a weird smell, but this one is very slight. Tans dark...I bought the medium color....so I only need it about every 4th day. Makes your palms brown, so be sure to wash it off.posted Sep 28, 2007Link to this post
Pink CamelliaSan Jose, CAThe Best And The Only!I have used this for years! Theres been a couple of times I havent been able to find it so I tried something else. From expensive to cheap the other products were a dread disappointment each time. As a sidenote this is the favorite product of my pedicurist, she says its the only one that doesnt turn the footbath orange and/or come off on her hands. I lay in stock now so I dont have to face a summer without it! Do shave, exfoliate/buff and moisturize before application. Your "tan" will be beautiful and long lasting!posted Aug 17, 2007Link to this post
SheriJerseyOne Of The Best On The Market!I have very pale porcelain skin with a yellow undertone. I found this tanning product to be the best one Ive used on the market. Ive tried other self tanners such as Ban de Soil and Neutrogena and the Neutrogena while i achieved a dark tan i looked orange compared to those using a tanning salon. Also with the Neutrogena it starts to peel off around the inside of the elbow. Ban de Soil didnt tan me as well and also you tend to go through the product faster. Also because Ban de soil has both a moisturizer and tanner side by side one tends to run out before the other one. SUN, offers an even application unlike other self tanners. Even if you dont do it perfectly on ur hands and feet it evens itself out while developing. The smell is very nice too. The tanner comes out green to counteract it from turning orange on ur skin. I found its easier to do the legs first, back and then work ur way around to the front. For my arms i tend to blend down half way and then wash my hands thoroughly and then finish the rest of my arm down onto my hands with a paper towel. I also put a little bit on a paper towel to do my face that way my hands still stay clean and i dont go overboard on my face.The only thing i did not like about this tanner is it tends to clog ur pours and u do start to sweat while this product is developing and even after u take a shower. By the 2nd day i felt like i still had a nice tan and didnt feel as clammy.This tanner does look a lot better on if u have a bit more of a base tan or u tend to have a little bit darker skin. Having pale skin when it started to wear off i got a little splotchy. Self tanners arent perfect but this one is by far the best one on the market that ive come across both in quality and price, youre definitely getting what u pay for.posted May 29, 2007Link to this post
ElyNot Bad , But...color is good, however most of it washes off. Streaky if not used on top of lotion.posted May 6, 2007Link to this post
AmyKentuckyBest On The MarketI was a bit afraid when i got my bottle but iam impressed truely impressed. Nothing compares to this product...i have found my sunless tanner.posted Feb 28, 2007Link to this post
Genia SanchezFort Worth, TX.AwesomeI have very fair skin and this is the only sunless tanner I have found that looks real. It dosent turn orange and it doesnt have a bad smell like all the others. This product is wonderful.posted Feb 19, 2007Link to this post
Lisa B.Sun Self TannerI thought this product was great. I have tried quite a number of self tanners, that did a very lackluster job. This one really looks like you spent time in the sun, without the funny look you get after a few days with most self tanners.posted Jan 8, 2007Link to this post

I am currently a Junior majoring in Computer Science at a top university (in the USA). As I'm really getting tired of taking classes, I was wondering if taking a semester or year off to do an internship(s) is a reasonable idea? It seems like it would give me more experience programming (making classes a bit easier), and give me a chance to recover from the burnout that comes from taking 18 credits a semester. A friend suggested that I just take a lighter course load, but I only have 2 more semesters of financial aid, so I need to take 18 credits in each of them in order to finish.
Taking time off from school is not a normal thing to do, at least at this school. Since more internships are advertised for the summer (that I've seen), I was wondering if there are internships available in times other than the summer? If I took off for a whole year, would it be more valuable to try to stay at the same company for the whole time or to try to get a series of internships at different ones? Valuable in both the sense of resume value and personal value. Would it be easier or harder to get multiple shorter internships?

Cards, Phillies meet for primetime series finale
Fresh off an excellent pitching performance from Lance Lynn, the Cardinals square off again against the Phillies.
Philadelphia netted just three hits in a 5-0 shutout loss to St. Louis on Saturday night, but it will have a shot at a four-game series split on Sunday. Kyle Kendrick will get the ball for Philadelphia, and he'll be matched against veteran Jake Westbrook for the Cardinals.
Lynn threw seven one-hit innings for the Cardinals on Saturday night, and Westbrook hasn't allowed an earned run in his first two official starts of the season. But that stat has something to do with the weather. Westbrook got knocked around for four runs in two innings against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, but the start -- and the stats -- were washed away by rain.
The Phillies, meanwhile, had their own strong streak of solid pitching shattered on Saturday night. Philadelphia had turned in a quality start in nine of its last 10 games prior to Saturday, and its staff had been 4-1 with a 2.80 ERA in that span. Cliff Lee got knocked around, but manager Charlie Manuel still likes what he's seen from his rotation.
"Our starting pitching is definitely starting to come together better. But also we need for it to [come around]," Manuel said. "That's kind of what we're built around. But, yeah, it's getting there."
Kendrick was scorched for five earned runs in his season debut, but he's rebounded with a pair of strong outings. The right-hander gave up two earned runs in a 7-3 win over the Mets on April 10, and then he threw shutout innings in a game the Phillies eventually lost, 1-0, to the Reds on Tuesday. Kendrick is 5-1 with a 2.68 career ERA against St. Louis.
St. Louis took a one-run game in Thursday's series opener, but Roy Halladay led the Phillies to a victory on Friday. Halladay threw seven two-hit innings en route to the win, and then Lynn came out and did even better for the Cardinals on Saturday.
Westbrook pitched into the seventh inning of his season debut against the Giants and allowed six hits and one unearned run in a game that the Cardinals went on to lose, 1-0. And in his second start, he left nothing to chance. Westbrook threw a complete-game shutout against Cincinnati on April 10, and the Cardinals backed him with 10 runs in a one-sided rout.
The Cardinals are up a half-game on the Reds in the National League Central standings, and the third-place Pirates are just a game out of first place. The Phillies are in fourth place in the NL East, and they have a losing record both at home (4-5) and on the road (3-6).
Cardinals: Holliday searching for stroke
Matt Holliday went 1-for-3 in Saturday's loss, and the Cardinals are still waiting for him to find his groove. The veteran left fielder homered on Friday night for just the second time this season, and he's walked 10 times in his first 16 games. Holliday is batting just .246 for the season, but he's a career .297 hitter with 27 home runs in 207 games played in April.
Phillies: Revere finds success in new spot
Ben Revere didn't immediately take to the leadoff slot, so the Phillies have found another way to utilize him. Philadelphia's center fielder batted .194 leading off for the first 15 games of the season, but he's hitting 3-for-9 in three games from the No. 7 slot. And he'll have a chance to get comfortable, because Manuel thinks Revere can utilize his speed there.
"Right now, I hit him seventh because if he gets on, I'd like to think that he could steal second base and we've got the catcher standing there," Manuel said. "And even might give him a chance to steal third. I look at him as that kind of player.
"If he hits eighth, of course, the pitcher could bunt him over. But I'd like to have him steal a bag and see if the catcher can knock him in."
Worth noting
• The Phillies went 24-16 against the National League Central last year and had just two series losses.
• Michael Young extended his hitting streak to 11 consecutive games with a single in the ninth inning on Saturday. Young has had 29 hitting streaks of at least 10 games in his career.
• Sixteen of the players on the Cardinals' 25-man roster were drafted by the team.
• The Phillies have won the season series against the Cardinals in eight of the last 11 years, but the Cardinals have had the edge in three of the last four years.

LAKELAND, Fla. - On his first day in Detroit Tigers camp, Torii Hunter was the same Torii Hunter he's been for years with the Minnesota Twins and Los Angeles Angels. Insightful, eloquent and, of course, smiling. Here's a sampling of what Hunter - the new rightfielder and No. 2 hitter - had to say after he arrived at Joker Marchant Stadium Thursday:
• On the expectations for the Tigers: "That's better than the underdog. Expectations show that you have a really good ballclub."
• On Victor Martinez: "He has a lot of energy. He missed the whole season last year. I can see how you would ...

If you've ever pondered what it might have been like to be one of the Supremes, Dreamgirls offers a hypothetical answer. Its storyline (adapted from the Tony Award-winning 1981 Broadway musical of the same name) is purely fictional. Nevertheless, this tale of three young singers from Detroit deliberately mirrors many aspects of the Supremes' rise to superstardom.It all begins at a Motor City talent show where a trio of late-teen girls known as the Dreamettes captures the attention of one Curtis Taylor Jr., a car salesman by day who aspires to music production by night. Taylor recognizes the girls' obvious talent, especially that of their feisty, no-nonsense leader, Effie White. Under Taylor's mentorship, Effie and fellow singers Deena Jones and Lorrell Robinson are soon backing up R&B legend James "Thunder" Early while continuing to work on their own songs (written by Effie's brother, C.C.).Taylor is ruthlessly determined to see his girls succeed. And he'll sacrifice anything and everything (or everyone) necessary to get to the top—including Effie. Though she has the strongest lungs, Effie lacks Deena's and Lorrell's looks. So Taylor maneuvers her offstage and moves the beautiful Deena into the spotlight, where she leads a new group known as the Dreams.As Deena and the Dreams' star skyrockets into the stratosphere in the years that follow, Effie struggles to make sense of her own cruelly shattered dreams while she raises her young daughter, Magic. But Deena and Lorrell discover that superstardom comes with its own price to pay as they struggle to live under Taylor's increasingly tyrannical rule. Along the way, these young women meet a host of characters who obviously parallel real-life Motown Records stars from the '60s and '70s—and endure a season of tumultuous societal and racial upheaval as well.
Unjustly kicked out of the group she once led, Effie refuses to go quietly into the night. She confronts Taylor directly, asking, "Am I ugly to you, Curtis?" and insisting, "I've got the voice." She's poor and struggling once she returns to Detroit, but she continues to believe in herself and knows that she still has something to offer. Eventually, C.C. tries to make things right by writing a song especially for Effie after having sided with Taylor and the Dreams most of the film.Jimmy Early's manager, Marty Madison, exhibits character and integrity on several occasions. When Early replaces Marty with Taylor, Marty tells him, "I love you Jimmy, but you can't have it all." And when Effie's determination to go it alone lapses into prideful stubbornness, Marty convinces her that she needs his assistance and helps her get a second chance. Whatever his other (many) shortcomings may be, Taylor helps the Dreamettes overcome the institutionalized racism they encounter.Several songs that characters sing express their deepest feelings and have positive themes. One track advises a devastated Effie, "Patience, little sister/Patience, if you want to see a brighter day." Effie herself exhibits hope and humility when she croons, "I am changing/I'll be better than I am/I'm hoping to work it out/And I know that I can/I need you/I need a hand." Another singer recognizes the importance of family (even if the film rarely does), saying, "If you get afraid, I'll be there/We are family/More than you and I/... We are growing free."Talking to Deena's mother, Taylor says of his star singer, "She has quality." Deena's mom is leery of Taylor's motives, and she takes issue with the way he talks about her daughter, saying, "You make her sound like a product." A short TV clip pictures Martin Luther King Jr. talking about the need for racial equality.Arguably too little and too late, a bittersweet, sentimental ending perhaps indicates that each main character (with the exception of Taylor) has realized that friendship and loyalty are more important than fame and fortune.
At the beginning of their singing careers, the three stars are depicted as young and virginal—and at least temporarily, they value that purity. After the talent show, Effie confronts a man who is inappropriately touching the backside of one of the other girls. Likewise, Lorrell resists Early's adulterous sexual advances at first, saying, "You're a married man, aren't you? ... Then get your married hands off." (Early, who has a well-earned reputation as a cheating womanizer, mumbles to himself that it will take a couple weeks to get what he wants from Lorrell.)An older woman briefly joins the girls on the tour bus to act as their chaperone. One by one, however, these young women collapse morally. After turning 18, Lorrell enthusiastically gives in to Early's incessant pursuit. A brief scene of the two in bed together pictures Early with his bare back to the camera mostly shielding Lorrell from view. After the encounter, Lorrell brags, "I'm a woman now!" (She serves as his mistress for eight years.)Effie "encourages" Deena to "let yourself go just once." And she sleeps with Taylor. (They're also shown kissing twice.) Effie insists, "It's not wrong if you love somebody." [Spoiler Warning] Effie never tells Taylor that their sexual activity results in a child.After dismissing Effie, Taylor moves on to Deena, his real interest all along. Again, it's implied that the two are lovers before they get married (Effie angrily tells Deena that everyone knows they're sleeping together, then asks, "How much did you have to put out to get in?").Given such eroded sexual mores, it's not surprising that the Dreamettes' song "Dreamgirls" brags, "Dreamgirls will make love to you." And many of the musical's scenes include sensual dancing where the girls shake their backsides and breasts; a similar number of scenes include outfits revealing lots of cleavage. Early drops his pants in an ill-advised stunt during a concert. (He's wearing boxers underneath.)As the film progresses through the '70s, the dancing gets more sexualized. (A group of men in sleeveless shirts and leather pants join Deena for a particularly sensual number.) Her exploding career means she's constantly in the camera's eye, and that eye stares at her bare back and breasts (which she covers with her arms). When Deena decides to seek out a deliberately edgy movie role, the director talks about how her character would need to "go down on a truck driver."
During the Detroit riots of 1968, people smash windshields, shoot guns and set fire to buildings. Several times in moments of frustration, Taylor grabs various characters roughly.
Characters utter the s-word 20-plus times and the f-word once. One misuses God's name and another Jesus'. About half-a-dozen other milder profanities jiggle their way to the surface as well.
Numerous scenes depict almost everybody drinking (both beer and hard liquor) and/or smoking. Early is an alcoholic whose addiction eventually leads to drugs. We watch as he cuts cocaine into rows with a razor. Later he unwraps a small package containing a drug (which we don't see) and rolls up his sleeve, implying that he's about to inject it. Neither C.C. nor Lorrell will stay in the room with him as he shoots up, but neither do they try to stop him—essentially enabling his dependency. Finally, we learn that a character has died from a heroin overdose that has taken place offscreen.
Taylor unduly pressures the Dreamettes to join Early on the road. (One of the girls apparently leaves town without her parents' permission.) He takes advantage of Effie's infatuation with him, then carelessly discards her. And after he and Deena get married, there's little in her life that escapes his notice and purview. When she threatens to leave him at one point, he fires back, "Your voice has no personality and no depth." And though she wants to have a child, he refuses to consider it. [Spoiler Warning] Taylor's treatment of Deena is so bad that it's hard not to respond to her eventual decision to leave him as a moral victory.Neither is Taylor above using illegal and unethical methods to promote the Dreamettes and the Dreams. To get their first hit on the radio, he pays DJs to play it. Later, we learn that he relied on this payola promotional method for more than a decade. We also watch as Taylor gambles and bets on horses and on boxing matches. He takes a mob loan to finance a movie.When C.C. tries to help Effie make a comeback, Taylor deliberately squelches it. And he manipulates Early to leave his longtime manager despite Marty's (accurate) contention that Taylor is a selfish snake. Taylor then dictates Early's song choices, even though the singer longs to explore different musical styles and write message songs addressing the social issues of the day. Taylor's dominance of Early likely contributes to his chemical dependencies, yet Taylor refuses to acknowledge how his behavior is negatively affecting the singer.
Before it even arrived in theaters, there was already Oscar buzz swirling around Dreamgirls. On the surface, it's not hard to see why. The film's all-star cast turns in powerful, emotional performances. Eddie Murphy's portrayal of James "Thunder" Early spookily echoes real-life singers James Brown and Marvin Gaye. And though former American Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson may not have the name recognition of Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé Knowles or Danny Glover, her gritty, fiery performance as Effie easily steals the show.Big, polished and highly produced as it may be, however, Dreamgirls is badly let down by its lack of a solid moral core. The modicum of sexual discretion that Lorrell, Effie and Deena initially exhibit evaporates far too quickly in the intense, narcissistic world in which they live. Granting the fact that none of them are truly happy, the film never comments directly on whether or not it's their moral choices that are responsible.In a world where sexual promiscuity is rampant culturally, it's always disappointing to see yet another movie that confirms such choices as status quo. That message, combined with a lot of profanity, drinking and drug use, kick the footlights out from under the feel-good vibe this bombastic musical desperately wants us to experience. Its headlong dive into the middle of a selfish, superficial culture left me feeling empty, not dreamy.

With rubber match, Bucs look to leap into first
Brewers' Gallardo squares off against Cole, streaking McCutchen
This August feels a little different than the last one Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen endured.
Not only was last August the beginning of a second-half collapse for the Pirates, but McCutchen hit a season-low .252 during the month. This time around, Pittsburgh is in the thick of the playoff race and McCutchen has carried its offense with a .425 batting average and .524 on-base percentage, both season highs.
The All-Star outfielder kept his tear going on Wednesday with two more hits in the Pirates' 7-1 win over the Brewers, evening its three-game series at PNC Park at a game apiece.
Pirates manager Clint Hurdle sees the difference in his No. 3 hitter.
"He has another year of maturity as a hitter," Hurdle said of McCutchen. "Last two years, especially last August, teams by this time were pitching around him and pitching him differently. He's taken more walks when they're there. He is overall evolving as a professional hitter."
McCutchen will face off against Brewers right-hander Yovani Gallardo on Thursday to try and help the Pirates win just their second series out of their last six. McCutchen has hit .292 (7-for-24) against Gallardo in his career with a home run and three RBIs.
Gallardo (9-9, 4.61 ERA) will make his third start since coming off the disabled list from a hamstring injury. In each of his two starts since returning, Gallardo has thrown at least six quality innings against the Reds. In his first start back on Aug. 17, the righty threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings to beat Cincinnati, 2-0, and even his record at 9-9. On Friday, Gallardo took a no-decision after tossing six innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits, while walking two and striking out five in a 6-4 Milwaukee win.
When asked about the three-team race in the National League Central, Gallardo would not commit to one team. With Cincinnati's win over St. Louis Wednesday night, the Pirates climbed to a half-game behind the division-leading Cardinals.
"Honestly, all three of them [the Cardinals, Pirates and Reds] have a pretty good team," Gallardo said. "It's up for grabs."
Gallardo will try to hinder Pittsburgh's chances with a series win against right-hander Gerrit Cole.
Cole (6-6, 3.81 ERA) will be making a second straight start on seven days' rest as the Pirates maneuver him to limit his workload. Cole took the loss in his last start after working around 10 hits to limit the Padres to two earned runs over six innings. He struck out five and walked none.
Thursday will be Cole's 10th start at PNC Park in 14 outings this season. He is 4-4 with a 4.35 ERA at home, compared to a 2-2 mark and 2.73 ERA on the road. Opponents hit .281 off Cole at PNC Park, while they hold a .213 average against him elsewhere.
Pirates: Byrd makes quick impact
Marlon Byrd didn't waste much time settling into PNC Park. In his fourth at-bat with the Pirates, Byrd hit a three-run home run in the seventh inning Wednesday.
Byrd, who lined into a double play in his first at-bat and struck out in his second and third, was acquired from the Mets along with catcher John Buck in exchange for Minor League infielder Dilson Herrera and a player to be named.
Byrd joined the Pirates Wednesday and sent the first pitch he saw -- a slider -- from Brewers reliever Burke Badenhop over the fence in center field for his career-high 22nd home run and first with the Pirates.
Prior to Wednesday's game, Gallardo commented on the Pirates' recent additions.
"I think it just deepens that lineup a little bit more," Gallardo said. "Byrd, he's having a good year, and he's a guy who can hit for power and is a good player all around. Same with Buck -- that's a good addition behind the plate when you also have Russell Martin down there catching."
The right-handed hitting Byrd was in the lineup batting fourth against Brewers left-handed starter Tom Gorzelanny on Wednesday. Byrd entered Wednesday hitting .345/.383/.597 against lefties with seven home runs and 27 RBIs.
Byrd is 3-for-15 lifetime against right-hander Gallardo.
"He's a guy you have to be careful with," Gallardo said. "He's one of those guys who hits the mistakes, and he's got some power."
• Dr. James Andrews examined Wandy Rodriguez on Tuesday and said the left-hander would not need surgery for his forearm issue, and he may be able to throw a rehab outing before the Minor League schedule ends the first week of September.
Hurdle said he was encouraged by reliever Jason Grilli's 25-pitch simulated game he threw Wednesday afternoon at PNC Park. Grilli will rest for two days and, if he continues to feel well, he is scheduled for a rehab outing on Saturday with Double-A Altoona.
Brewers: Henderson settling back in as closer
Since taking over Milwaukee's closer duties with the late-July trade of Francisco Rodriguez to the Orioles, Jim Henderson has been on a roll.
The 6-foot-5 right-hander has made 12 consecutive appearances with a save -- a franchise record -- and has allowed just one earned run on six hits in the stretch, spanning 12 2/3 innings. Henderson has walked seven and struck out 17, while holding opposing hitters to a .136 average during the streak.
"He's done a great job. Those kinds of numbers, though, that stuff's misleading," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "It's great, but it's just opportunity. I like what he's doing. I like that when he gets a save opportunity, he's really pitching well."
Worth noting
• The Pirates enter Thursday 32-21 against the NL Central, while the Brewers are 23-33. Pittsburgh is 43-23 at PNC Park and Milwaukee is 28-39 on the road.
• The Pirates have lost their last five series-ending games entering Thursday's finale.

No. We don't need any more races.
No. I'd rather have new races.
I don't care.
We already have 2 elf races, and the Blood Elves are here. High elves just wouldn't fit in my mind
"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize" -Voltaire
aham well for me its just as ridiculous notion to add another race of elves to alliance especially since they would be copies of bloodelves witch is exactly what green eyed horde dwarfs would be nothing but copies of alrdy existing races with different color eyes .only difference would be like u mentioned before that dwarfs were never a horde race and elves actually were part of allince
If they added high elves would it hurt your gaming experience? Ok then. Would it take long to implement a new eye color for the blood elves? Ok then. Why are people against this?
Adding High Elves to the Alliance is idiotic idea. They would be clearly just reskin to the Blood Elves (with only eye color to be changed) and after that, Blizzard will must add another race to the Horde (as there will be 7 races in alliance, 6 in horde and 1 neutral). Stupid, just stupid.
Only if we can have High Draenei, You know Draenei with Blue eyes.
Forest Trolls. Revantusk Tribe. http://www.wowpedia.org/Revantusk_tribe
There the last forest trolls and only one still allied with the Horde. They are also the only other troll tribe out side of the Darkspear and Shatterspear to not be with the new Troll Alliance. Shatterspear Tribe is also with the Horde.

Business owner, clean air activist react to smoking ban bill
Mo. bill would punish cities that ban, restrict smoking
A new effort is underway in the Missouri Legislature to punish the state's cities that ban public smoking.
Kansas City, Mo., is one of 11 communities in the Kansas City metropolitan area that has smoking restrictions, but a bill being considered in Jefferson City could make leaders of those communities reconsider.
Kansas City's smoking ban first took effect five years ago. It was an effort to clear the air indoors at businesses and bars.
"When we got the smoking ban, it hurt us at first," said Jim Chappell.
He said business at his northland sports bar and restaurant has since rebounded.
"There's one thing I hate about a smoking ban; it's that the government is telling you what to do," Chappell said. "No matter how good it is for you, I don't like the government telling you what to do."
He said he's confused by the Missouri lawmakers who want to punish cities with smoking bans. The bill, originally sponsored by St. Charles Republican Rep. Kathie Conway, would force cities with bans to surrender sales and property tax revenue from bars and restaurants. Those vital funds would go to school districts, instead.
"It seems surprising that somebody over there that doesn't like government control is having government control," Chappell said.
"On the surface, we all like more revenues for our schools, but in fact, it's ridiculous," said Joyce Morrison of Clean Air Kansas City.
She said there are currently 30 communities across Missouri that restrict smoking, and more are considering it every day.
"So it becomes a penalty to be a smoke-free community," Morrison said. "And it also becomes a disincentive for communities like St. Joseph that are actually now considering a smoking ordinance."
Conway's bill is being considered in a House committee.
