Astros set for brief return to NL roots in Arizona
Cosart to square off vs. Collmenter in opener of two-game series
The Astros will return to their National League roots on Monday when they play their first game of 2014 in an NL park at Chase Field in Arizona.
Both the Astros and D-backs are stuck at the bottom of their respective divisions, but both have been playing strong baseball of late.
Houston entered Sunday averaging 4.6 runs per game over its last 14 contests, a stretch during which it went 10-4, while Arizona entered Sunday having won four of five. They will face each other four straight days -- twice in Arizona and twice in Houston.
In their effort to climb out of last place in the American League West, the Astros have received an offensive jolt from young players like George Springer, the AL Rookie of the Month in May.
As they look to stay hot against the D-backs, they will view any offense they get from their pitchers as a bonus.
"They've been hitting [in batting practice] the last 2 1/2 weeks," manager Bo Porter said of his pitchers' preparations for NL play. "They've been swinging the bat, they've been bunting, they've ran the bases. They are an offensive threat in the lineup the next two days, but I would much rather it be first and second with nobody out."
The Astros were in the NL for 51 years before moving to the AL to start the 2013 season. Porter, who has experience coaching in both leagues, knows that the strategy in NL parks is somewhat different.
"In a National League game, the biggest difference is the pitcher is in the lineup," he said. "Sometimes in an American League game, you can actually go with a guy much longer because you're not dealing with the decision of, it's the sixth inning, it's the bases loaded, there's two outs, the pitcher is due up, this is maybe your best offensive shot -- and you feel the need to hit for that guy at that moment."
Houston's starting pitcher on Monday is Jarred Cosart, who has never hit in the Majors. Since allowing seven runs in one-third of an inning April 18 in Oakland, the right-hander is 3-3 with a 2.96 ERA over his last eight starts. He's allowed three runs or fewer in each of last eight outings.
Cosart will face D-backs righty Josh Collmenter, who is two starts removed from the best performance of his career. Collmenter faced the minimum against the Reds on May 29, twirling a three-hit shutout.
He faltered in Colorado on Wednesday (five innings, four runs), but he's had success in his career against the Astros, going 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA in three outings.
Astros: Recent callup Owens heading home
The trip to Arizona represents a homecoming for left-hander Rudy Owens, who was called up Sunday. He made his Major League debut May 23 in Seattle and was promptly sent back down.
Owens had a handful of family members pile into a van and drive to Seattle for that game, and he expects a big contingent of friends and family members at home. He was born and raised in Arizona, attending Mesa High School, and he followed the D-backs growing up.
"I'm excited to go back home to Arizona, and I know a lot of my family is going to be at the games and stuff," Owens said. "That's going to be a good time, to get home and see all my family. And they'll be all excited to see me out on the field.
"If I could get tickets and have them all be together so it's one big cheering section, that would be great too," he added.
Owens allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings in his lone big league appearance.
D-backs: Chavez dealing with knee discomfort
Third baseman Eric Chavez could be heading to the disabled list soon as he deals with a nagging left knee issue.
Chavez hurt the knee in a Spring Training game one day before the D-backs left for Australia.
"I'm having trouble driving off my back side and keeping all my weight on my back side," he said. "It's been bothering me for a while, so we'll get through [Sunday's] game and talk about a course of action."
Backing up starting third baseman Martin Prado, Chavez is hitting .246 with three home runs in 80 plate appearances.
Manager Kirk Gibson said Nick Evans and Didi Gregorius could serve as backups to Prado if Chavez goes to the DL.
Worth noting
• D-backs outfielder David Peralta, who was called up on June 1, entered Sunday 10-for-24 (.417) over the first six games of his Major League career.
• Shortstop Jonathan Villar returned to the Astros' lineup Sunday after missing four straight games with a bruised right elbow, going 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run.

Well, though not very detailed, yet this article may help the "Westerners" to learn more about Polish history.
And two commentaries to commentaries written below:
1. The massive displacement of German refugees from the East (i.e. the East Prussia, the Western Pommerania and from Silesia) began in winter 1945 (January-February) on a personal order of Hitler, with German Nazi-Party local authorities responsible for exact conduct of that order and leaving no man behind. Also many of these people straightly ran away from what seemed an unevitable "revenge" from incoming Soviet soldiers (in fact all crimes and even attrocities committed to German people by victorious Soviet soldiers was no match to what Germans did to the Soviet people during previous years; it was rather strange that the Germans faced nothing similiar to what they did to other nations during their rule - I'd rather expect some 10 millions of Germans to be instantly killed with further 10-15 miilions displaced and sent to work in previously occupated countries to work out all the damage they did to others when trying to "rule over the world" - these numbers being a proportion of Germans to other nations' casualties during the war the germans started)
2. The numbers of Polish victims of Soviet rule (between 1939 and 1941 as well as post-1944) was at first just "estimated", but after that, a deep research was done by Polish specialists and lots of our Russian friends from "Memorial" society in post-Soviet archives of GULag and NKVD, where are kept all reports from deportations, transports, labor camps where the Poles arrived and also about all those that died during transport or in-situ. Thus the correct and real numbers could be given, as well as quite precise list of all Poles deported and killed - including my own Grandfather, for whom I was able to reconstruct a complete "story" and trace his way from theplace of his arrest up to the final camp where he died... through all camps and transport centers where he was imprisoned).

Woman's pet snake gets stuck in car tail light
Boa constrictor tucks into car body panel
Workers at a car dealership in South Florida had a different kind of repair request.
Robin Simmons told employees at Coconut Creek car dealership her precious pet boa constrictor had disappeared in her car on Monday.
The 7-foot snake slithered from the trunk into a tail light.
"I thought, 'Uh oh. I don't like snakes," said dealership employee Chris Braun. "She was tucked in the corner of the body panel. She pulled the cover off and crawled in there and we just pulled one taillight out and then you could see her."
The employees were able to get the snake out safely.
Simmons said she put the snake in her trunk without the carrier, and that she always travels with her.

'schlounging' is the act of throwing pillows, blankets, cats, babies etc. at the light switch instead of getting up and turning it off; which in turn makes more work for you later.
also refered to as 'using your surroundings.'

Wow, drool-worthy for sure. It seems from the people here who had great-looking pizzas before they got a WFO that it gives that final touch to make them look perfect. I can only imagine the taste improves as well.

For a complete list of all Rules, Proposed Rules, and Notices view the Rulemaking tab.
Title 13 published on 2014-01-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 13 CFR 123 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-09183 RIN 3245-AG61 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Interim Final Rule with request for comments. Effective date: April 25, 2014. Applicability date: This rule is applicable for disasters declared on or after April 25, 2014. Comment date: Comments must be received on or before June 23, 2014. 13 CFR Part 123 SBA is amending its disaster loan program regulations in response to Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force recommendations. One change allows SBA to rely on the disaster loan applicant's credit, including credit score, rather than personal or business cash flow in order to assess repayment ability for those applicants with strong credit. Another change will increase the amount of disaster assistance funds that can be immediately disbursed to borrowers by raising the unsecured threshold for economic injury loans for all disasters and for physical damage loans for major disasters. Both of these changes will enable SBA to provide disaster assistance more quickly and efficiently.

Sweet shades
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Bought these for my husband to wear. Very stylish and he says they are also comfortable.
Ronen Sarig
I may have a garish Oakley addiction.
Iconic. Perfect.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Oakley Frogskins are far and away my favorite sunglasses.
Iconic design, nigh-indestructible, and amazing and/or garish color combinations.
I use my Frogskins for everything except for riding road/mountain bikes (jawbones for that). Otherwise, I probably have a pair of jawbones on my face. They're light and comfy, and I never have to worry about breaking the hinges. Awesome.
Kevin Is On Foot
I like my frogskins.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I chose the last pair of the basin red with pink iridium lens because I snagged them on sale. I got them for $30 here on bc, and couldn't be happier. The quality is good, typical oakley, the frame is solid and the lens definition is outstanding. Oakley's visual quality is great. These are my everything glasses. Once I get back from my run, I need something that looks better than my racing jackets. These fit the bill. Best casual sunnies I've ever had. I had a pair of electric tonettes before this, and these are better in every way. I have a small face.
Stylish retro shades
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
These shades are a classic shape that I really like and fit my face well. They are super lightweight which is really handy if you are outside and wearing sunglasses all day. I wear them for a variety of outdoor activities. Lounging, boating, fishing, and hiking these fit the bill.
Grant Kates
Nice active shades
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Bought these last week for the summer. My 2nd pair of Oakley sunglasses I have owned and I am very pleased. The color is great and I love how the sunglasses fit and look.
Looking forward to having them protect my eyes from UV rays this summer in Utah as I travel, hike, climb and explore.

Light, snug, durable what else could you ask for. I've put these through hard use and they never quit. they have exploded from impact with a ball twice and "pop pop" the arms and lenses snap right back in.

Gave these as a gift for my friend and he loves them.

- Fit: True to size
First pair of nice sunglasses I ever purchased were some Oakley sport type glasses. Then bought a pair of O's for boarding. Saw these guys and had to get them. Love Oakleys. I have to agree that they do feel slightly cheap, but I bought them for the look and the shape. Not many types of glasses look good on my face, but I get lots of compliments on these. Would like the price better if they were polarized lenses, but I had some extra Christmas money, so I bit the bullet and bought em anyway.
seem flimsy
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
i returned these for aesthetic reasons. while the green lenses and smoke frames were cool, the shape of the frames just didn't appeal once i had them on.
i agree w/ the many reviews previous noting these glasses feel cheap in hand. with eyes closed i'd be hard pressed, i bet, to pick them out of a much lower cost crowd. i don't think the lenses are polarized, either. so, if i'm going to drop a bill or more on some casual shades, they better look really sick and i just didn't feel that way about these.
close, but no cigar.

May slide off your face.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
These glasses are fantastic. But there is one drawback. Usually with sunglasses or even just normal glasses there are little rubber things that stick to the bridge of your nose. Not with these. And if you are like me, when you bend over you will drop them occasionally. But if you don't mind the occasional scratch, then I would totally recommend these glasses.

- Fit: Runs large
I love Frogskins - they were my first pair of Oakleys back when they came out and I couldn't imagine paying $50 for a pair. Now, at $100+, I still can't. But - I did. After my first pair was stolen from my car years ago, I got caught in the nostalgia of the re-release and bought a pair again.
I have a smaller face, and don't remember them fitting so wide across the eyes. Maybe I'm just used to the square wires and smaller pieces... but the lightweight frame is still the same - if not lighter.
I agree that now, after being an adult and feeling metals in sunglasses like titanium and magnesium, or the Oakley X metal (whatever that is...)... the Frogskins feel cheap. Still - as a grab and go pair of specs, they're good and easy on the eyes.
Just wish Oakley would put back out the bright yellow/purple irridium lens combo that was stolen... I loved those...

I'm not proud of this.
A while back after making a sassy anime Bucko Bruce, I made a joke that someone should make all the logos into anime. Then implied that someone would be me. I waited. I waited a long time, hoping against hope that someone else would see that post and decide to beat me to the punch, thus saving me from my own terrible idea.
No one wanted to be a hero, so I must sacrifice myself for the greater gods of weeaboo. Time to get oh so kawaii, NFL.
And heaven save us all.
(Logos are organized by division in case you can't figure one out)

He looks like Liam Gallagher...
hell NO.
I had so hoped that "Eleg" really was a foreigner's botched attempt at "Oleg" as if the author were making some winking tribute to Vysotsky's very fun line:
«И ты бы, Ваня, у них был «Ванья»…»
плевал на головы прохожих парижан? :)
I have to say that the movie title translation is not purely "Vysotsky, thank you for my life!" - it is, as appeared on the posters, "Vysotsky. Thank you that you're alive!".
I am sorry to have to correct you. The title of Russian original is: "Spasibo, schto schivoj" which means "Thank you that I am alive". The German title of the movie is "Wyssozki, Danke fuer mein Leben" which means in English "Thank you for my life". Watch the film and you will understand why. He quotes from his famous poem in the very last scene....
I don't speak German and cannot comment on the title chosen for the Russian film week in Berlin, but as a native Russian speaker I can assure you that "Visotsky, thank you for my life" is not a translation of the Russian "Высоцкий. Спасибо, что живой". The Russian title is elliptical (something like "thanks for alive", except it does not sound weird) and can a priori be variously interpreted. But it is also an idiom: people say that when they have (or someone has) been through a rough bit - meaning basically "thank God at least I'm alive". Also, note that there is no comma in the Russian title: the name of the songwriter is not part of the sentence. So yes, various translation options are on the table, but "Visotsky, thank you for my life" is far out.
Please read his poem "The Black Man" (I only have the German translation of it, in Russian probably "Tschorny tschelovjek" from which the line "Thank you for my life" has been taken. It makes absolute sense when you see the film. The line could not be more approriate!
Again, I cannot comment on German translations. But in Vysotsky's poem "My black man" (the title is, incidentally, a reference to a famous poem by Sergey Esenin, another quintessential Russian drunkard) those words are clearly used in the idiomatic sense that I have mentioned.
I assume the film makers used the line German translation "Danke fuer mein Leben" since it fits with the plot. It was not my translation of the Russian title but the official title of the German movie.
There is no "German movie". There is only a German title of the Russian movie. And I fail to understand the logic of using a translation from German as a title for a Russian movie.
I recommend to contact the film producers (www.wyssozki.de) to find out more details.
Thank you very much for the recommendation, which is, I must admit, somewhat unexpected. Am I somehow the journalist here?
Actually that's a very common problem with translations of movie titles. In this particular case it was complicated with involvement of not two but three languages as I see it. I remember when they were trying to translate title "Die Hard" to Russian, which ended up on the mass market with two versions - "Крепкий орешек" (Tough Nut) and "Умри тяжело, но достойно!" (Die Hard but with Dignity). Both translations are lame, although the first one is more suitable. It should have been translated as "Трудноубиваемый" (Hard-to-kill) but it sounds very awkward in Russian.
So I would not judge too hard translators and journalists who are following them. There is no precise rules for that here and sometimes the best title translation has nothing to do with the name in the language of origin.
Totally off topic, but "Die Hard" is known as Szklana Pulapka in Polish. "Glass Trap" worked for the first movie, but failed for all the subsequent ones. I heard that the next film in the series will be "It's a Good Day to Die Hard."
I don't claim to be an expert in Soviet cultural history, but I've always thought that Wiktor Coj was more important. I mean, Grupa Krovi is featured in GTA IV--if that says anything.
In my experience, Viktor Tsoi was very popular in only certain demographic. His audience was teens to mid-twenties. Tsoi's poetry targeted themes related to that age, from romantic songs about relationship to more aggressive once about bravery and desire for change. But for the period of time in the late 80-s he was very popular indeed. To the best of understanding, his friendship with Boris Grebenshikov helped to develop his talent to its full potential. "Grupa Krovi" was probably the biggest hit in 1989 to the best of my recollection.
Alas, he tragically died very early.
Vysotsky on the other hand was loved by all swathes of Soviet society, older frontoviks liked him for his war songs, young adults liked him for humorous poetry about many aspects of Soviet life, kids liked him as well for his poetry was highly accessible and did not have to many outlandish words. It seems to me sometimes, that even apparatchiks who were supposed to keep him on tight leash, liked him too.
Victor Tsoi owned the 80s and his early death made him an idol, but he didn't have nearly the deep encompassing impact on every generation of russians as much as Visotski. VV was allowed to perform, travel(both with restrictions, but still) and be popular with the general public while despised by authorities. A very improbable combination in the USSR.
Victor Tsoi is one of the most popular singer and songwriter of the USSR, but it is impossible compare Tsoi with Vyssotski because theirs contribution to russian culture is different and occured at different times.
I reckon that both of them deserve respect and worship from the people, not only russian or ex-soviet union's nation but also from people all over the world.
No you can't even compare them. Tsoi was a great guy but he's nowhere near a bigger-than-life giant like Vysotsky.
I know little about Russian culture except from what I read (translated literature) and hear (Russian composers and performing artists in classical music) and see (the ballet). As a child they totally captured my heart. As an adult, I continue to keep their company for my mind and soul. Every time I see the sign "Made in Russia" for such things, my heart beats a little faster. I remember reading *Letters from Stalingrad* as a young person, translated (I don't know any Russian). Struggling with my English, I could not receive the emotions contained in those words to home "without light shivering inside" (thank you for those words, @Grettir), and "rage, rage against the dying of the light". (Dylon Thomas).
I don't understand politics. I only hear the silenced voice everywhere which I know I idealize.
But, hack, if you have to idealize something, and everybody does, it might as well be "Sometimes art is more truthful than facts"(the singer's son)
You see that's the challenge for poetry - to comprehend it fully one either has to rely on translators (and poetry is notoriously hard to translate meaningfully) or to know the language plus cultural context the poetry was created in. In case of Visotsky his poetry was supported by his ability perform and sing which made him virally popular in masses of Soviet citizens long before era of Facebook. He was also a good movie actor, his role of tough detective Gleb Zheglov fighting organized crime in post-war Moscow underworld was quite memorable.
Regarding Stalingrad, the novel "Life and Fate" by Vasily Grossman is probably the best food for thought, it is translated to English and available from Amazon.com.
Visotsky was idealized, that's true. But he was done so for a very compelling reason. His rusty voice for many back then was like a gulp of fresh water for exhausted survivors of a shipwreck in the middle of the ocean.
Yes, that is the challenge for poetry. Some poetry is harder to comprehend than others. On a subject matter that elicits univeral human emotions (for example, Dylan Thomas's father dying in Rage, rage...), the emotional distance between poet and reader is shorter and translation is easier. On subject matters that span a huge intellectual and emotional landscape (for example, The Waste Land)translation would be nearly impossible.
I hear what you are saying about Visotsky's voice, although I obviously have never heard it. I am just imagining from your description: "a gulp of fresh water from a shipwreck in the middle of the ocean." That reminds me of the artistic life of many Russian composers in the same period.
Thank you for the recommendation of "Life and Fate" by Grossman. Didn't Prospero do a review on that book about 3 months ago? Was it the one that had to be hidden until recently someone finally let it see the light and translated it from a manuscript that still contained still-to-be-formed passages?
I have a dumb but real question. Why are Russian novels so long? (I mean seems longer than most on average). I read Pasternak's Doctor Z translated by the same man who wrote the movie script (I think, I can't remember for sure). It was long. I loved the book so much I used to be able to memorize many pages in it even though it was long because the prose was as beautiful as poetry.
PS: If you don't have time, you don't have to answer my "why so long" Q.
ashbird, you can hear his voice here for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=857vy90Yb60
I think that would be a part of his concert in Mexico, subtitles in Spanish there. That's a very well known song about the war.
Yes, I think Economist had article (or was it audio?) about Grossman's "Life and Fate". Ironically, it was published in the West first and in Russia only in 1988. It is a very vast book indeed filled with lots of grisly details about war. But it is probably one of the best since Grossman himself was there as war correspondent and witnessed many sad things. His talent of writer was accompanied by personal first-hand experience.
I don't think I am the right person to ask why Russian novels are so long. But you are right, many of them really long ones with most famous of them all "War and Piece" by Leo Tolstoy. There can be multiple explanations for it and all of them can be right. One is that everything in Russia, or for that matter, in Euroasia from border with Belarus to Pacific Ocean and from Arctic to Hindu Kush is enormously large - steppes, forests, swamps, mountains etc. The longest epic in the world originated from that space as well, it's "Manas" that's many times larger than "Ilyad" and "Odyssey" combined. But I am sure experts would be able to offer more rational explanation.
On the other note, some works of English writes are very sizable as well. Think of "David Copperfield" for example.
Thank you very much indeed, Grettir, for the YouTube link. I really appreciate it. It is amazing how much one can get from YouTube these days.
Also for telling me about a work called "Manas". I never knew anything about it.
Perhaps the physical envionement has something to do with the mind's perspective when chronicling life and everything in it.
Look forward to reading your comments again soon.
Haven't watched the movie just yet... however, from what i read in russian press, the film was awful. The link in russian : http://newtimes.ru/articles/detail/47167/
There were mixed reviews in Germany as well. The Hollywood style of the movie is really different from the traditional Russian movies we usually get to see. This new film is a real modern thriller, not a single moment of bore.
Vladimir Visotsky poetry reflects perfectly well his time that's true. What is much more amazing is that he was capable of creating very powerful verses about pre-revolutionary Russia and especially WWII. He was too young to participate in WWII actions yet his songs are felt if it was himself who was fighting at Stalingrad or marching towards Reichstag.
Certain lines become truly unforgettable for many whose first tongue is Russian and multitude become proverbs and expressions deeply ingrained in everyday life. Some are so emotional one can't pronounce them without light shivering inside. He travelled a lot with concerts (they liked his songs even in Mexico, see YouTube for that) but his true dedication was Russia. He wished best for her and really hoped for better. "Church domes are covered with gold in Russia so the God would see them more often", goes one of his most powerful songs. Too bad he left this world so early in life.
By the way, it is not Eleg, it's Oleg (male name).
Dear Grettir,
Thank you very much for your nice comment. My friend's name is really ELEG and not Oleg but spelled in Russian with a 'hard' 'E' which does not exist in English. I have no idea where his name (maybe a version of 'Oleg') comes from???

Living in Arizona, watering is critical for a plant to survive. These self-watering troughs are great! They can go about a week before getting watered, so if I go on vacation and the neighbor forgets to water, the plants still have water to get them through until I get home. I will definately order more in the fall!

Q. What do we do in case of rain or severe weather?
A. The safety of our campers is of utmost importance to Morey's Piers. Please take a moment to read this section carefully, so you will have a complete understanding of what to do in case severe weather occurs during your event. Keep in mind that most events may still be underway even if conditions for camping are not ideal.
Prior to the start of the event: We suggest that you check our website prior to leaving home for the event. You can also call the weather hotline at 609.729.3700 ext. 1887 for weather updates.
In the event of light or sporadic rain, campers may set up camp on the beach, and the amusement rides and waterparks will open as long as conditions are safe. If we experience heavy rain, the event may be temporarily postponed until the weather clears and rides may also temporarily close. You may want to consider moving your tent to high ground on the beach (stay clear of areas where the water pools), or move your group to a local hotel (select a back-up hotel – or make a hotel reservation -- prior to arriving at Morey's Piers, for a complete listing of motels in the Wildwoods, go towww.wildwoods.org).
If severe weather occurs, such as a thunderstorm, you may be asked to evacuate the beach and take shelter in your car. If your car is within walking distance, calmly walk your entire group to the shelter of your vehicle(s). Or, if your car is a far distance from the beach, pre-select one or more drivers to go and get your vehicles and pick up your group at the loading/unloading zone nearest to your camp site. Once you pick up your group, you must move your car to another location to wait out the storm. Remain in your car until the severe weather passes. Do not take shelter under the boardwalk.
Once the severe weather has passed, you may return to your tents on the beach. Please listen for any special announcements over the Morey's Piers PA system, or from the Wildwood Police, as you return to your tents.

A-Rod implicated in PED use again as MLB probes
Wednesday - 1/30/2013, 7:22am EST
By RONALD BLUM
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - Alex Rodriguez is in the middle of Major League Baseball's latest doping investigation after an alternative weekly newspaper reported baseball's highest-paid star was among the big leaguers listed in the records of a Florida clinic the paper said sold performance-enhancing drugs.
The Miami New Times said Tuesday that the three-time AL MVP bought human growth hormone and other performance-enhancing substances during 2009-12 from Biogenesis of America LLC, a now-closed anti-aging clinic in Coral Gables, Fla., near Rodriguez's offseason home.
The new public relations firm for the New York Yankees third baseman issued a statement denying the allegations.
New Times said it obtained records detailing purchases by Rodriguez, 2012 All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera, 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner Bartolo Colon and 2011 AL championship series MVP Nelson Cruz of Texas.
Cabrera left San Francisco after the season to sign with Toronto, while Oakland re-signed Colon.
Other baseball players the newspaper said appeared in the records include Washington pitcher Gio Gonzalez, who finished third in last year's NL Cy Young Award voting, and San Diego catcher Yasmani Grandal.
Biogenesis, which the New Times said was run by Anthony Bosch, was located in a beige, nondescript office park. The former clinic is no longer listed as a business in its directory,
"There was a flier put out by the building management a couple weeks ago. It was put on all the doors and windows of all the offices," said Brad Nickel, who works in a cruise planning company on the floor above where the clinic was located. "It just said this guy's not really a doctor, he doesn't belong here, he's no longer allowed here, call the police or the building management if you see him."
The New Times posted copies of what it said were Bosch's handwritten records, obtained through a former Biogenesis employee it did not identify.
Bosch's lawyer, Susy Ribero-Ayala, said in a statement the New Times report "is filled with inaccuracies, innuendo and misstatements of fact."
"Mr. Bosch vehemently denies the assertions that MLB players such as Alex Rodriguez and Gio Gonzalez were treated by or associated with him," she said.
Rodriguez appears 16 times in the documents New Times received, the paper said, either as "Alex Rodriguez," "Alex Rod" or the nickname "Cacique," a pre-Columbian Caribbean chief.
Rodriguez admitted four years ago that he used PEDs from 2001-03. Cabrera, Colon and Grandal were suspended for 50 games each last year by MLB following tests for elevated testosterone. Responding to the testosterone use, MLB and the players' union said Jan. 10 they were authorizing the World Anti-Doping Agency laboratory outside Montreal to store each major leaguer's baseline testosterone/epitestosterone (T/E) ratio in order to detect abnormalities.
"We are always extremely disappointed to learn of potential links between players and the use of performance-enhancing substances," MLB said in a statement. "Only law enforcement officials have the capacity to reach those outside the game who are involved in the distribution of illegal performance-enhancing drugs. ... We are in the midst of an active investigation and are gathering and reviewing information."
A baseball official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to make public statements, said Monday that MLB did not have any documentation regarding the allegations. If MLB does obtain evidence, the players could be subject to discipline. First offenses result in a 50-game suspension and second infractions in 100-game penalties. A third violation results in a lifetime ban.
Rodriguez is sidelined for at least the first half of the season after hip surgery Jan. 16. A 50-game suspension would cost him $7.65 million of his $28 million salary.
"The news report about a purported relationship between Alex Rodriguez and Anthony Bosch are not true," Rodriguez said in a statement issued by a publicist. "He was not Mr. Bosch's patient, he was never treated by him and he was never advised by him. The purported documents referenced in the story _ at least as they relate to Alex Rodriguez _ are not legitimate."
Jay Reisinger, a lawyer who has represented Rodriguez in recent years, said the three-time AL MVP had retained Roy Black, an attorney from Rodriguez's hometown of Miami. Black's clients have included Rush Limbaugh and William Kennedy Smith.
Bosch did not return a phone message seeking comment.
MLB hopes to gain the cooperation of Bosch and others connected with the clinic, another baseball official said, also on condition of anonymity because no public statements on the matter were authorized. In order to successfully discipline players based on the records, witnesses would be needed to authenticate them, the official said.

- Are doctors generally open to talking about natural and complementary therapies?
- Is there some validity to any of these therapies?
- What criteria and timeframe help determine remission?
- What is the difference between remission and undetectable disease?

- How does cytogenetic testing affect a patient's treatment protocol?
- What is the accuracy of bone marrow biopsies versus molecular blood studies?
- I know that my lymphoma is an indolent type. My doctor has told me that there are actually patients who go without any treatment ever. It just doesn't make sense to me that I have a blood cancer and it doesn't need treatment, can you explain?
- Is there a single source recognized by the medical industry that contains the standard treatment recognized worldwide for a specific diagnosis?
- I have been involved in a clinical trial and would like to know what the results were. Is there a site that I can go on to get the results?

"A welcome new series"
This is book one of a new series BUT you really need to read the Lost Fleet series to take full advantage of this new series story line. Black Jack Geary to given command of First Fleet and is to proceed to alien space to explore. Even before he got to the fleet, stupid orders were given by headquarters that almost cause to military of the Alliance to revolt. I was thinking this is not being realistic but then I thought of the history books I have read and thought oh no this is like some of the crazy things that do happen. The book has some great battle scenes, lots of suspense and backstabbing politics by governments. Overall a good story that lives you wanting more. Christian Rummel does a great job narrating the story. He also narrated the Lost Fleet series so the voices carry over and keep the continuity going. Enjoy.
"We Few Band of Brothers"
Charles Keating did an excellent job narrating the story. Cornwell made this battle come to life, I felt as if I was there, I could hear the twang of the bows, the crash of steel and the screaming of the wounded, no one writes a battle scene like Cornwell. This book is such a great way to learn history, Cornwell is accurate with the history but still manages to bring history to life. So many people have reviewed this book I really do not have much to add. The story does point out how religion played a key role in life at that time. You can not go wrong choosing to read a Cornwell book.
"The Happy Return"
Christian Rodska did a wonderful job narrating the story. Hornblower sails to central America and a secret mission. Forester description of the land and people brought a picture to my mind as if I was watching a movie. Forester's battle scenes are almost as good as Patrick O'Brian. It is hard enought to fight another ship without having to worry about the wind in the sails and directions you can sail. This was the first book in the series and I am looking forward to reading more in this series. I understand Forester has written many book such as African Queen that became movies. I shall see what Audible has of Forester's books.
"Covert Warriors"
Dick Hill does a great job narrating the book. Since Griffin has been writing with his son the story seems a bit ragged. I hope as they work together the son learns more from his father and can carry the writing forward. There was a lot of repetition of the prior books of the series which interfered with the current story. The story built up with lots of suspense then the ending was a total let down. At first I thought there was an error in the downloading of the book, it seemed as if a whole section of the ending was missing. I would have liked a lot more detail for the ending. Maybe it will be filled in with the next book of the series. I love the series and will keep listening and hope they improve writing together.
"Tesla was a hundred years ahead of his time"
Simon Prebble did a great job narrating the story. The book goes into more depth surrounding the times of Tesla. It gives an overview history of Serbia and surrounding countries. In covering the education of Tesla the author also introduces the reader to the professors that influenced him. Marc Seifer also covers in depth the interaction between Edison, Bell, Westinghouse and investors such as J.P. Morgan, John Aster, Stanford White and others. Tesla health, habits and mental health are covered. Seifer goes into depth covering the wide array of invention of Tesla and many are just becoming a factor in our daily life. It was also interesting to note that there are many more invention that the department of defense placed under a blanket of national security and no information is available on these inventions. This book has only made me want to know more about Tesla and his fellow engineers of the 1890s.
"A bit better than prior book"
Kate Burton does a good job with the narration. The story was interesting and I must say the ending took me by surprise I had a different character line up as the killer. What bothered me the most was the constant repetition in the form of dialog through out the book. Repeating an item twice may be okay to make the point you are going back to re-evaluate your findings but to do it over and over again was annoying. I would like to have more about Lucy in the next story and more action. Overall I think this was a better book than Cornwell's last book "Port Mortuary".
"Good Sailing Story"
Patrick Tull does a great job narrating this story. The Hundred Days is about the escape by Napoleon from the Island of Elba and the hundred days till Waterloo. The story takes place in the Mediterranean Sea with Aubrey/Maturin trying to destroy French Navy that declare for Napoleon and stop the gold shipment from Napoleon to pay for an mercenary army. Lots of intrigue for Steven Maturin and navel battles for Aubrey.
"The Wine Dark Sea"
Patrick O'Brian did a great job narrating this story. This is an interesting tale the first half deals mostly with Aubrey and sailing along with sea battles. The description of the wine dark sea, earthquakes and the volcanic explosion in the ocean was fascinating. The second half deal more with Maturin and the politics and intrigue of Peru and Chili. Then his trek along the Andean Mt's to Chili with the naturalist description. Interesting book.
"The Shadow of Saganami"
I had completed all the Harrington series books before starting on the sub-series book. I wish I had read/listen to this book before I had read "At All Cost" and "Mission of Honor". The Shadow of Saganami apparently fits into the time line somewhere in the "At All Cost" story line. The narrator was not Jay Snyder but Kevin Parasal he just can not do women voices not all women have a soprano voice. Over all great story lots of battle scenes, espionage, political intrigue to keep me up all night and not get anything done all day.
"Victory and Honor"
Scott Brick does a great job narrating this series. This was a good book, the pace moved right along and their was some action but much less than other books in the series. This book had much more suspense involved in the storyline. This is one of the few Griffin books that brought a tear to my eye toward the end of the book. I had just read a book about Harry Truman creating the CIA so when it showed up in the story line I felt very knowledgeable. Can not wait for the next book in the series. You will not waste a book credit if you choose this book.
