But as usual we'll kick off with a question for YOU. Click play to see this week's Tyler's Teaser.
Martin's starting stat
I was at the Emirates to see Arsenal win the North London derby by the same scoreline as last year, which was unusual given the nature of that scoreline. Again Spurs scored first, but in the last 19 derbies, the side that has scored first has only won six - and in the last three at the Emirates the side scoring first has lost.
Emmanuel Adebayor took his tally in North London derbies (all competitions) to 10 (8 in 9 for Arsenal, 2 in 3 for Spurs). Also he scored the 100th goal of his career in England, of which 62 were for Arsenal and 19 for Tottenham. He has also scored 21 in 51 games at the Emirates.
Spurs went into the game above Arsenal, but ended up two points adrift of them. They haven't finished above their rivals since 1994/95 when Gerry Francis was manager and they finished seventh and Arsenal 12th, 11 points the difference. It still hasn't happened in the Wenger years, though, so that's a target for Andre Villas-Boas.
Santi Cazorla, Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud all scored and they have the same Premier League records (Played 12, Scored 4). The game also marked Arsenal's first win in a 12.45pm Saturday kick-off in three years since they beat Spurs 3-0 in 2009.FIVE TRUE
Hi Martin. I couldn't believe it when Arsenal beat Tottenham 5-2 for the second season in a row on Saturday. It seems a pretty rare score line but they've done it twice now! How many times has a side won 5-2 in the Premier League era? James Baker (Hull City fan)
MARTIN SAYS: You might be surprised to learn that this was the 29th time a Premier League game has finished 5-2 - so while you might think it's rare, the scoreline crops up, on average, at least once a season. Saturday's game was Arsenal's third 5-2 Premier League win (after last year's North London derby and a 5-2 home win over West Brom in August 2002), but that tally has been beaten by Manchester United. They have beaten Oldham, Wimbledon, Crystal Palace and Tottenham by a 5-2 scoreline in the Premier League years.
Most 5-2 wins in Premier League games:
FOUR TIMES: Manchester United
THREE TIMES: Arsenal, Liverpool
TWICE: Aston Villa, Everton, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur
ONCE: Blackburn, Bolton, Chelsea, Coventry, Derby, Fulham, Leeds, Leicester, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland, Wimbledon
Most 5-2 defeats in Premier League games:
FOUR TIMES: Tottenham Hotspur
THREE TIMES: Wolves
TWICE: Blackburn, Crystal Palace, Newcastle, Oldham, Sheffield Wednesday
ONCE: Bolton, Burnley, Charlton, Everton, Fulham, Manchester City, Middlesbrough, Norwich, Southampton, Sunderland, West Brom, Wimbledon

Dear Martin, On Sunday, Sunderland beat a 10-man Fulham team and it was our first win since February, where we beat a 10-man Stoke. This got me wondering and inspired my question which is; what team has faced 10 men the most in the PL? Also, which team has the best record of taking advantage of the extra man, and beating a team down to 10-men? Jordan Wilkinson (Sunderland fan)
MARTIN SAYS: Sunday's game was the 39th occasion in which Sunderland have faced 10 men or fewer in the Premier League. However, there are 11 teams to have played against 10 men (or fewer) more often. As you can see from the list below, Saturday's North London derby was the 93rd occasion when Arsenal have seen an opposing player sent off in the Premier League - 13 times more than the next nearest team (Liverpool with 80).
Most games played v 10 men or fewer:
1. Arsenal (93)
2. Liverpool (80)
3. Everton (70)
4. Tottenham (61)
5. Blackburn (58)
6. Man Utd (57)
7. Newcastle (56)
8. Aston Villa (52)
9. Chelsea (50)
10. West Ham (49)
11. Man City (43)
However, Arsenal have only converted 56 of those 93 games into victories (a ratio of 60.2%). To answer your question, the team that has converted facing 10 men into victories most often is Manchester United. They've won 43 of the 57 games they've played against 10 men, a ratio of 75.4%, which is higher than any other side.
For your interest Jordan, Sunderland have won just 16 of their 39 matches against 10 men, which is a ratio of just 41%.
Best win percentages against 10 men:
Team | Games played v 10 men or fewer | Games won v 10 men or fewer | Win percentage |
Man United | 57 | 43 | 75.4 |
Chelsea | 50 | 36 | 72.0 |
Liverpool | 80 | 54 | 67.5 |
Norwich | 11 | 7 | 63.6 |
West Ham | 49 | 31 | 63.3 |
Newcastle | 56 | 35 | 62.5 |
Stoke | 8 | 5 | 62.5 |
Arsenal | 93 | 56 | 60.2 |
Bradford | 5 | 3 | 60.0 |
Fulham | 38 | 22 | 57.9 |
Interestingly, the side with the worst win record against 10 men in Premier League history is Watford. They saw opposing sides reduced to 10 men on three occasions during their days in the Premier League and won none of those matches.
Watford's record against 10 men in the Premier League:
07/08/99: Lost 3-2 to Wimbledon
29/04/00: Lost 3-2 to Man Utd
21/02/07: Drew 1-1 with Wigan
Dear Martin. Can you settle a bet for us? Where does Roberto Di Matteo sit on the all-time list of Chelsea managers? I have calculated that his win percentage is way above 50% and I can't think there are many with a better record than his in our history. A friend of mine says Carlo Ancelotti is definitely higher and another (who is not a Chelsea fan by the way) says it is Jose Mourinho. Can you tell us who is right? Francis (Chelsea fan)
MARTIN SAYS: Thanks to our friends at Opta I can tell you that none of you are correct Francis. Roberto Di Matteo has the seventh highest win percentage of Chelsea's 29 full-time managers, having won 24 of his 42 games (57.1%) in all competitions. Carlo Ancelotti is fifth on the list with a 61.5% win ratio and Jose Mourinho is second with 67.0%. However, top of the pile is Guus Hiddink, whose 16 wins in 22 matches in 2009 results in a win ratio of 72.7%. Interestingly, Avram Grant is third on the list, having won two thirds of his matches in charge.
Chelsea managers with a win % higher than 50% (all competitions, excluding caretakers)
Manager | Matches | Wins | Draws | Losses | Win percentage |
Guus Hiddink | 22 | 16 | 5 | 1 | 72.7 |
Jose Mourinho | 185 | 124 | 40 | 21 | 67.0 |
Avram Grant | 54 | 36 | 13 | 5 | 66.7 |
William Lewis | 31 | 20 | 5 | 6 | 64.5 |
Carlo Ancelotti | 109 | 67 | 20 | 22 | 61.5 |
John Robertson | 50 | 30 | 10 | 10 | 60.0 |
Roberto Di Matteo | 42 | 24 | 9 | 9 | 57.1 |
Luiz Felipe Scolari | 36 | 20 | 11 | 5 | 55.6 |
Claudio Ranieri | 200 | 107 | 46 | 47 | 53.5 |
Gianluca Vialli | 142 | 75 | 38 | 29 | 52.8 |
Ruud Gullit | 82 | 41 | 17 | 24 | 50.0 |
Hi Martin, Great column! Keep it up. Correct me if am wrong but I think Man United have yet to draw this season. That brings to mind how long a team has played consecutive league matches (either in a single season or rolled over) without drawing, and which team was that. Nana, Manchester United fan.
MARTIN SAYS: Manchester United are currently on a 15-game run without a draw. In fact, the only draw they've had in their last 26 Premier League games was that incredible 4-4 with Everton at Old Trafford last April, the game regarded by many as the one that cost them the title!
However, they are some way short of matching the record for consecutive Premier League games without a draw. In the 20-and-a-bit years of the Premier League we've seen five teams go exactly 20 games without a draw, but the record is held by the Bolton team of last season who played a remarkable 28 consecutive Premier League games without drawing a match.
They secured a 1-1 draw at Newcastle on February 26, 2011 and almost made it into 2012 before their next league draw came. Their 28-game run ended when they were held 1-1 at home by Wolves on New Year's Eve 2011. Their 18-game streak without a draw at the start of last season is also the longest run from the start of a campaign.
Longest runs without a draw in the Premier League:
Team | Games without a draw | Date of last game |
Bolton | 28 | 26 December 2011 |
Chelsea | 20 | 5 December 2009 |
Man United | 20 | 13 May 2009 |
Blackburn | 20 | 18 April 2007 |
Sunderland | 20 | 10 September 2005 |
Coventry | 20 | 6 September 2000 |
Dear Martin. I read a stat that Javier Hernandez has the best goals-per-minute ratio of any player in Premier League history. After his second-half goals at Aston Villa this would make a lot of sense, but I wonder if Edin Dzeko is catching him up as he has scored a lot of goals this season without being on the pitch very often. Can you tell me if this is true? Keep up the good work, Kevin (Manchester United fan)
MARTIN SAYS: We asked Opta to look into this and they tell us that Chicharito actually has the second highest goals-per-minute ratio of any player in Premier League history (note they've only included players with a minimum of 15 Premier League goals). He's scored 27 Premier League goals during his 3,232 minutes on the pitch to date. The other player you mention, Edin Dzeko, is fourth on their list with 22 goals in 2,750 minutes.
Top of their list is another Manchester City striker, Sergio Aguero, who has scored one more goal than Hernandez and has spent 100 minutes fewer on the pitch. His tally of 28 goals in 3,116 minutes works out as a goal every 111 minutes.
Top 10 goals-per-minute ratio in the Premier League (minimum 15 goals):
Player | Premier League goals | Minutes/goal |
Sergio Aguero | 28 | 111.3 |
Javier Hernandez | 27 | 119.7 |
Thierry Henry | 175 | 121.8 |
Edin Dzeko | 22 | 125.0 |
Ruud van Nistelrooy | 95 | 128.2 |
Robin van Persie | 104 | 136.9 |
Hernan Crespo | 20 | 140.7 |
Alan Shearer | 260 | 146.9 |
Demba Ba | 31 | 149.4 |
Mario Balotelli | 19 | 149.7 |
Once again Martin, very informative read. Knowledge is power!!! I have a question I've been wanting to ask for a while now and hopefully a man of your calibre and stature shouldn't fail me. Signings coming back to haunt their old clubs... who has scored the most goals against a previous club in the Premier League? Patrick Coyle (Liverpool fan)
MARTIN SAYS: Thanks for the kind words Patrick, but I needed plenty of help from our back-up team in answering this one!
There are several ways of answering this question. The player with the most Premier League goals against a club he has previously played for is Alan Shearer, who has scored 14 times against Southampton.
However, Shearer never played for Southampton in the Premier League. If you're looking for the man who has scored the most Premier League goals against another team he has represented in the Premier League then the answer is Andy Cole. The former England striker scored 11 times against Newcastle after leaving them during the 1994/95 season.
And if you're looking for the record number of goals scored by a player against a team he has also represented in the Premier League then that record belongs to Michael Owen, who has scored 13 Premier League against Newcastle. However, they all came in a Liverpool shirt BEFORE he joined the Magpies - so you could hardly say he "came back to haunt them". In fact, three of those goals were scored in a 4-1 win in August 1998 (you may remember the famous shot of Owen rubbing his hands together in celebration), which was Ruud Gullit's first game in charge. The duo have obviously made up since then as they were together in Sky's Champions League studio this week.

Sof Sole Fit High Arch Insole
best insoles yet
Did the arch tester in the store and then ordered these online. wore them for a week and ordered another pair for my other shoes. awesome product and truly works. holds up even when i work on my feet all day.
July 21, 2014
I have suffered from foot pain for years and tried many products, but this is the first insole that truly makes a difference!
July 5, 2014
awesome but watch ur invoice
Bought these first in store. Love them. Have foot problems so feet hurt all the time but not when I wear these. Watch ur invoice though. Debit was charged 3 times then credited twice and then recharged for a third pair I didnt buy. They fixed the problem but was a hassle.
June 15, 2014
Great purchase
My feet haven't felt this good in years. I didn't have a pair shoes that I could stand or walk in more than an hour before I started using these inserts. I'll be purchasing a second pair.
February 8, 2014
great orthoric inserts
I recently purchased Sofsole insoles for high arches and just love them. I have many orthopeadic issues due to an auto accident several years ago, and for such a great insole at a reasonable price, I am very happy that Dick's Sporting Goods carries this product.
November 17, 2013
Good for flat feet
Been having problems with shin splints playing basketball. Got some leg sleeves and these insoles, and the combo seems to help. I'd recommend using these with high top sneaks, I use low tops and they lift my foot up a little too high inside the shoe.
June 4, 2013
Good Fit
Good fit, feel good on my feet. Help me feel better
April 21, 2013
These are amazing. They are the only insoles I've ever found that actually support my feet. They give me better balance and take a lot of pressure off my ankles. I've put many miles on mine and they have yet to break, just get very worn in.
February 18, 2013
Best i've tried
Great insole. Have tried others in the past and most never have a high arch.

"He Dared!!"
I love this series. It is a great story! It is best to start with Conflict of Honors, then Agent of Change, Carpe Diem, Plan B, then this book, to get the full story and understanding. I was not very happy with this narrator. Most characters were voiced well, but he made Pat Rin sound smarmy, though he is written as a reserved, very proper gentleman. It was better by the end of the book, but every time Pat Rin said something, I got irritated, and it spoiled the experience somewhat. However, it would take more than that to spoil the Liaden Universe!
"Highly recommended!"
A great story, especially if you are a dog lover. It shows clearly the bond between a person and their dog. Amazing stories. Worth the credit!
"Needs work"
This reminds me of stories my middle school students would write. Too many unexplained threads, choppy writing, and tinny narration. The author has promise, but the book needs to be longer so her ideas can be expanded, and the book will make more sense.
When I purchased this book, I had no idea it was a "steampunk" novel, including werewolves and vampires. I don't like stories including those, and normally would've stopped listening, but this book grabbed me from the first, and kept me laughing! It helped that the werewolves and vampires were a minor part of the story. No mysteries, but plenty of action. The description of the courses at this school really tickled my funny bone - Advanced Eye Fluttering; Handkerchief Dropping Techniques! Bahahahaha! I enjoyed reading about Sophronia's adventures, and I will probably read more in the series.
"A fun start to a series"
If you like cozy mysteries with a lot of laughs, this one is for you. Each character reminds me of people I knew while growing up in the south, just more so. The narrator has just returned home to Mississippi after her divorce, to care for her parents (who, it turns out, only need someone to care for their menagerie while they go on adventures). Her cousin, Bitty, is a fanatic about historical homes, and her pursuit of a home to place on the historical register starts a series of events that will keep you laughing or shaking your head. But like all the strong Southern women I know, they come out on top, with style and graciousness. Enjoy!
"Excellent story, Poor editing"
I love the James Herriot books, and this one is a favorite. Christopher Timothy does a great job as the narrator. However, in the middle of Chapter 50, the story changes completely, and then the end of the book is in the middle of chapter 55! Then it takes up where it left off in Chapter 50. Editors, where are you?
I read James Herriot's books when they were first printed in the 70s, and loved them. I listened to the audiobooks when they came out on cassette tape in the 90s and loved them. Now I can listen to them on my iPod and I still love them! Though some call these animal stories, they are really stories of Yorkshire, people and their animals. Herriot had a gift for description and storytelling, and Christopher Timothy is the perfect narrator. I laughed and I cried. This will be a favorite that I'll come back to many times!
"His Father's Son"
I have to admit that up until this book I haven't been impressed with Felix Frances as a successor to his father. With this book, however, he has truly written a book in Dick Francis' unforgettable style. I found that I couldn't stop listening! I had to know what happened next. If you were a fan of Dick Francis, you will think he has come back to life and written another Sid Halley adventure!
"A fun cozy series"
I love cozy mysteries with a lot of humor, and this series has that in spades. Skye is funny, and compassionate, and I love that mix. I've downloaded several other books in the series and look forward to them.
There are a lot of mispronunciations, though, and they are jarring, because they make no sense in the flow of the story. Editors, you need to be catching these!
"I liked it!"
Despite what some other reviewers said, I enjoyed this book! It has humor, it has interesting subplots, and kept me interested. The science was plausible, for the most part, but that isn't a huge thing for me - after all Star Trek science isn't plausible, but I still enjoy it! The blending of sci-fi and detective story was appealing.
"Worth the Credit!"
I just finished listening to this book for the second time since I originally downloaded it several months ago. It's that good! Steven Gould is an excellent writer, and his unusual scenarios set him apart from other sci-fi writers.
Kimball is a street child in The Territory, a place where metal and EM cannot be used because of 'bugs' - metal and EM loving tiny robots, that mindlessly destroy anything in their way if they sense either substance. The idea of no cell phones or cars! Aaaaah! Kim's adventures are riveting. You will enjoy it! Now, if Steven would just write a sequel....

Thank you very much. And as I said....everyone has different taste. NO reason to excoriate someone whose opinion differs, IMO.
Never liked Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" either. However, it appears that Phil was a crazy man who is now reaping the seeds he has sown. And, after that cameo in "Easy Rider" he went from the king of cool to the madman with the gun. Held the Ramones hostage at one point and threatened to shoot Dee Dee if they didn't finish the tracks as per his dictates.
I love this song, classiest use of the word "freaky" in a song I have ever heard.
I'm not going to argue the point except to say this: Authorship of a tune is not a matter of opinion. And if you listen to the tune, the guitar part follows, and then does a variation on, the vocal melody.
That melody was laid down before EVH walked into that studio. Without the melody that EVH did NOT write, there is no guitar part.
So the comment that it's somehow an EVH tune is, I think, disrespectful of the actual author. I don't know why you'd want to do that. As a musician, I'll add this: If you can't appreciate the entirety of the tune and the soulfulness of the music and the melody it's based on, you'll never play that solo well. So that's your "punishment."

Les....Interpolated within your comments above, you will not find me saying that I obviously do like some Motown tunes. I tend to not prefer the entire genre...just not my cup of tea. However, some tunes are certainly enjoyable to me. And, that being said, I will never again hear the cheerfully pop "I was made to love her" by Stevie Wonder without automatically associating it with Harlan Ellison's "Shattered Like a Glass Goblin" which uses the tune as background music in a disturbing story that forever created a creepy and upsetting nexus between the two for me.
Enough tangential prattle. Back to you guys who actually enjoy the genre.
>>however I refute your allegation that one must "appreciate" the music one is playing in order to play it properly. I love to play Pink Floyd. IMO Roger Waters was a real jerk from 1977 through 2008.<<
Truth is, if you don't appreciate - and by that I don't mean "like" - I mean *understand* the vibe, the rhythmic nuance, the melody, the song - you can't play it well. Nor do you have to like the whole genre; but to do it well, you really do need to understand what's going on, and the more experience you have with it as a listener and a player, the better you can play it. Very simple, truly.
You're also infusing the artist's personality problems into the music, which is a separate thing. The music is capable of being appreciated for what it is; music may be able to inspire emotion, but it is abstract. This is why you are able to like Pink Floyd's music without liking Roger Waters. The personality of the player isn't the key to unlocking the music. You can be as crazy as a bedbug, or have intractable issues, but still write some awesome music, write some good books, or paint some wonderful paintings, etc. See, e.g., Van Gogh, Hemingway.
The more one understands, the more ideas one can apply to the playing (especially instinctively - something that takes time spent with the music), the better one plays.

OK, fine. We're having a discussion, defined as:
"discussion |disˈkəSHən|
the action or process of talking about something, typically in order to reach a decision or to exchange ideas: the proposals are not a blueprint but ideas for discussion | the specific content of the legislation was under discussion .
• a conversation or debate about a certain topic: discussions about environmental improvement programs.
• a detailed treatment of a particular topic in speech or writing."
This involves some back and forth exchange of ideas, not just one liners, expressing an opinion, and then going away with nothing more to say. That ain't a discussion. This is.

Les....I'm not trying to be a douche.
you are right Michael Jackson wrote the song....it's his. EVH contributed some brilliant playing through his interpretation of what MJ was trying to do. Bennett only cares about the guitar part because well..he plays guitar and he recognizes something special in the playing. He does not identify with the music beyond that according to him. This is to me where it should end so everyone can go about talking about Motown influences....instead the Doc took your retort as an attack on his playing...which I dont think thats how you intended it...yadda yadda.
The two of you waste tremendous energy attacking each other while Sergio attempted to keep the discussion on track. I threw out the line about Hendrix just to test the water and see if that would spark any conversation to bring everything back to the Motown discussion. West Coast Seattle Boy had some cool tracks that Hendrix played on that were Motownesqe....the Isley Brothers Testify for instance.
its the fuggin Internet....if the two of you lived closer I'm sure you could go out and have a drink together and have a fun discussion. Hence I stand by my and will raise you a .....and just for Sergio I'll add a .
as far as Internet land goes I luv ya both...so chill the Fug out!

You're no douche!
But a discussion isn't an attack. It's an expression of differing viewpoints in this case. I have no interest in attacking anyone. It's why I used the term, "disappointed" regarding Bennett's feeling that it's an EVH song, and not another term.
Fact is, Bennett and I communicate about lots of stuff offline, and we're friends (I think). My friends and I often have discussions in which we disagree, and it's cool, no one gets upset. Why should it be any different on what is supposed to be a "discussion forum?"
I figure this isn't Fox news, we don't all have to shout. But it does make sense (to me) that we engage freely in discussion. I honestly don't see that as a waste of energy. In fact, that's what energy is for!

although I do believe this is before they signed with Motown...
sergio...This one is for you!
That's unbelievable! I don't think I can top that!
Joystick! Check out those moves!
Bob encouraged me to post again in this thread. Admittedly, I can be a very stubborn person. So I'd like to give a little more background, while at the same time apologize to anyone who was or is offended:
Motown was HUGE when I was in high school. It was a symbol of progress for my generation in Detroit in the way kids of different races began to relate to each other. Everyone was proud of Motown music. We were excited about it. In a big way, the music was a bridge for understanding at a time when big changes were occurring all over America. Yes, that sounds corny, but there you are. It was especially important in the magnet school I attended in Downtown Detroit, that had 4500 kids from all over the city, from all backgrounds, and had been the high school of some of the Motown stars.
We formed integrated bands to perform both Motown music and other rock music. We started integrated clubs, and the clubs had dances that were fun and successful. It felt wonderful that everyone was closer; we'd be beaming with mutual admiration after a gig. Yeah, that sounds corny now, too, but it meant something in the 60s.
If you haven't done it, you have no idea how much fun it is to perform with a horn section and a real vocal group, as opposed to one rock singer - it's a gas! In college, the bands who played all over campus did a lot of Motown. I was in another band in college with horns; and the band was also a coming together of kids from different races and backgrounds. We had TONS of fun. It was a big part of my history as a musician. I believe that playing the music helped me develop as a musician and as a human being. That reads pretty corny, too. I suppose it is, but it means something important to me. YMMV.
I try to be open-minded when I listen to music. I get frustrated when I think that others aren't. But everyone's clearly entitled to their opinion when it comes to what they like and relate to, and what they don't.
Every so often, I'm asked to do something for an ad in that style of music; clients are sometimes surprised that I can arrange a vocal group, horns, etc., that sound authentic. I just smile.

Les...being your age, and living where you live, was kinda like me growing up near Greenwich Village in NYC as the Ramones, Blondie, Talking Heads, NY Dolls, David Johannsen....not to mention the forerunners Lou Reed, Velvet Underground and the entire CBGB, Mud Club and burgeoning Punk Scene exploded into the New York Village and Soho scene.
I can see why you are so passionate about this era and the related music. Kinda like why I am so passionate about the "3-chord progressions" that became Punk, and the "New Wave".
I think you just gotta be a bit more tolerant of those who don't share your musical preferences. You didn't mean to be offensive, but some of your comments can be perceived as overly critical when you write with the aforementioned passion. I see you've edited a lot of your comments. You've softened them up considerably. But, for example, when you describe one's comments as "insult to others' intelligence" you are making that jump from "criticism" to "personal attack"...at least it appeared that way. And then, the resulting debate takes away from the original topic of the thread.
No harm, no foul and as we've already established, everyone has the right to their own taste and their own opinion. I respect the fact that you feel so strongly about your music.

Red Sox seek sweep, but face Felix at Fenway
On a roll of late, Seattle's ace opposes Dempster, first-place Boston
Felix Hernandez has been as dominant on the mound as anyone in the American League, leading the Junior Circuit with his 2.34 ERA and 153 2/3 innings.
The Red Sox's lineup, meanwhile, has been as tough as any in baseball, sitting top-two in the Majors in runs, batting average and OPS.
Something will have to give on Thursday night at Fenway Park when the two clubs clash in the finale of a three-game set. Following a 5-4, 15-inning win early Thursday morning, the Red Sox will go for a three-game sweep.
But standing in their way will be Hernandez, who's riding a hot streak that dates back to late May. He hasn't lost since May 25 and is 7-0 with a 2.18 ERA over that time.
The right-hander threw nine innings of one-run ball in his most recent start -- a no-decision against the Twins on Friday.
"It was vintage Felix," said acting manager Robby Thompson. "But obviously we didn't have a lot of run support for him, and we squandered some opportunities. But Felix was Felix."
Hernandez faces a Boston club riding the high of acquiring one of the trade market's top arms in Jake Peavy. Earlier this month, the Red Sox acquired reliever Matt Thornton from the White Sox, too.
"We thought we had a good team, and, you know, we were fine with what we had," Boston first baseman Mike Napoli said. "But the front office made us better."
Right-hander Ryan Dempster gets the ball for the Red Sox after he tossed 5 1/3 solid frames to pick up the victory over Baltimore on Saturday. The Mariners pounded Dempster for seven runs on nine hits in 3 1/3 innings on July 11 in Seattle, but Boston rallied to win, 8-7.
The Red Sox, who moved into first place with Wednesday's extra-inning victory, have won five straight games against the Mariners. That's their longest streak against Seattle since taking 10 in a row during the 1991 and '92 seasons.
Mariners: Quiet at the Deadline
Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik was active with the phones in the days leading up to Wednesday's Trade Deadline, but the Mariners opted not to reshuffle their roster.
"There were discussions," Zduriencik said. "But at the end, I didn't think there was the right situation for us at this time. There's an obligation here to our fans and certainly to the players here on this team. They've played well recently."
Veterans Kendrys Morales, Raul Ibanez and Oliver Perez were all potential targets for other clubs.
Red Sox: Players abuzz about Peavy
The addition of Peavy at the Trade Deadline was a move endorsed emphatically by the players in Boston's clubhouse.
"He's a guy that goes out there every day, and he's reliable and gives you everything he's got," said catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia. "You know that's big. We're in a tight race right now, and we've got two big months coming up, so all the help is better."
Peavy, who won the National League Cy Young Award in 2007 with San Diego, was 8-4 with a 4.28 ERA in 13 starts this year for the White Sox.
Worth noting
• Hernandez has held Napoli to a .167 batting average in 36 at-bats. David Ortiz, meanwhile, is hitting .310 with a .429 on-base percentage against the right-hander.
• Boston's 225-163 record against Seattle is the best record for any club against the Mariners.
• Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager hit .396 (38-for-96) in July.

Asbestos is the name of a group of minerals that are made up of bundles of tiny fibers composed of hydrated magnesium silicates. It is mined from the ground. Asbestos has been widely used in building and manufacturing industries because it is not affected by heat or chemicals.
Asbestosis is a lung condition caused by breathing in asbestos fibers. Usually, when particles in the air are breathed in, they are filtered out by the nose or the upper airways of the lungs. But asbestos particles are very thin and light, and sometimes are not filtered out before they reach the lungs. After years of exposure, asbestos can damage lung tissue and is responsible for causing several serious diseases, including cancer. Mesothelioma is a specific type of cancer that is caused by inhaling asbestos particles.
Asbestosis is caused when the fibers are inhaled deep into the lungs. Here they are trapped in tiny airways where they cause scarring, called fibrosis, to the lung tissue. Repeated or continuous exposure over a long time can cause scarring over large areas of the lungs. When this happens, lungs lose their elasticity. When lungs can't expand and contract normally, a person will experience shortness of breath. Scarring also decreases the ability of the lungs to do their work of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. Asbestosis primarily affects people who are regularly exposed to asbestos. The more a person is exposed, the greater the risk of developing an asbestos-related disease. However, most people who have had prolonged exposure to asbestos do not develop asbestosis. Those at highest risk are:
People who handle asbestos material at their workplace:
- Workers who mine or process asbestos
- Construction workers
- Shipyard workers
- Vehicle mechanics
- Family members of people who work with asbestos and bring the fibers home on their hair or clothing
- People who work at sites where asbestos is found
- Smoking
Asbestosis takes a long time to develop. The earliest symptoms usually show up 10-40 years after first exposure. The disease can develop even when exposure to asbestos ended years before. The severity of the disease depends on the amount and length of time of exposure to asbestos. Symptoms get worse as the disease progresses and may include:
- Shortness of breath—this is the first noticeable symptom and occurs with exercise or heavy effort
- Cough—the cough is persistent and nonproductive (which means no mucus is produced)
Other symptoms may include:
- Chest pain or tightness
- Feeling generally unwell
- Loss of appetite
- Finger clubbing, in some cases, caused by a build-up of fluid
- Weight loss
The diagnosis is made based on:
- Reliable history of exposure to asbestos
- Evidence of lung scarring and fibrosis which is based on a physical exam and/or X-ray
- Absence of other causes that may produce similar clinical pictures
Tests used in diagnosis of asbestosis:
- Chest X-ray—changes seen on the exam usually have a distinctive pattern
- CT scan —will detect changes more easily
- Pulmonary function test—a test that measures how well the lungs take in and exhale air. The test can show if the lungs have reduced ability to function properly.
- Oximetry is a noninvasive means to assess oxygen status.
There is no treatment to cure asbestosis, and the disease slowly worsens. The first and most important changes a person can make are the following:
- Prevent further exposure to asbestos
- Stop smoking; people who have asbestosis and smoke cigarettes greatly increase their risk of developing lung cancer
Once the condition is diagnosed, treatment involves keeping the patient healthy and treating the symptoms. These measures include:
- Getting immediate treatment for colds and other respiratory infections
- Staying updated with vaccinations, especially for flu (influenza) and pneumococcus
- Avoiding crowds, where infections might be spread
- Having regular chest x-rays or CT scans to watch for signs of cancers associated with asbestos
- Having oxygen therapy and other respiratory therapies that can make breathing easier
- Improve the nutritional state
- Encourage breathing and physical exercises
- Home oxygen, if necessary
Since the 1970s, asbestos use and handling has been increasingly controlled by the government. Asbestosis can be prevented by controlling the asbestos dust and fibers in the workplace. In addition, people who handle asbestos at work must shower and change their clothes before leaving work. As a result of these measures, fewer people develop the disease.
People who need to have asbestos removed from their house should seek help from professionals trained in asbestos removal.
It is also important to note that smoking increases the attack and/or progression rate of asbestosis.

FRC enters the digital age for applications and transcripts
Linda Satchwell
Staff Writer
Feather River College president Dr. Ron Taylor presented compelling reasons for purchasing two software applications accessible via the Internet, CCCApply and eTranscript, at the April board of trustees meeting.
FRC is one of the last community colleges to sign on to the systems. CCCApply will allow students anywhere to apply for enrollment in the California community college system, and to have their applications sent to FRC.
The system has the obvious benefit of making FRC that much more accessible and easier to apply to, according to Taylor.
In addition, it automates and streamlines the residency process. Students have to answer a series of questions that will make it easy for the Admissions and Records office to determine residency, "which is a huge issue for us now," said Taylor.
It also ensures compliance with other legal and regulatory standards, including Americans with Disabilities Act and Office of Civil Rights, and will help determine AB 540 eligibility.
The legislation allows an immigrant student who has gone through the school system in California to register as a resident and pay in-state fees, "even if they're undocumented, technically."
The law is "a fairly complex thing to implement," Taylor explained, and CCCApply has all of the criteria built into the application so that it's easy for FRC's Admissions and Records department to make a determination.
As soon as the admission application has been processed, FRC can provide the new student with registration, orientation and other information seamlessly. Further, the system provides links to applications for financial aid.
There are add-ons available for additional fees. One that the college will probably purchase in the future is the Board of Governors Fee Waiver Application, which determines dependency status and eligibility based on criteria such as family income or one of the special status designations.
Because the college has received a $15,000 grant, implementation and product costs for CCCApply will be covered. In addition, first year support fees will total $914.79. After that, support fees will total $7,464.60 per year.
The benefits of eTranscript, according to Taylor, include "speed of electronic transcript exchange, ease of transaction tracking and reporting, data transfer encryption, security of institution-to-institution exchange, student convenience, reduced college workload and expenses [and] standardized transcript views and data formats."
The system allows for the transfer of student transcripts between all of the state's community colleges, state universities, University of California campuses, private colleges and, soon, to and from the state's high schools.
Costs include a one-time installation fee of $5,300. The price of operation and maintenance, prorated for the April 1 – June 30, 2010 period, is $861.25. The ongoing cost will be $3,656.25 per year.
A majority of board members agreed with chairman Bill Elliot that the two applications were a good long-term investment for a rather small amount of money.
Director Leah West, however, who had asked a number of pointed questions during the discussion, maintained that a new and ongoing purchase of this nature didn't make sense when FRC was facing a budget shortfall of more than $400,000.
"I'm just thinking dollars. I'm just being conservative. I don't think now's the time to buy anything."
The board voted four to one to proceed with both software applications.

Sen. Shaheen to amend her financial disclosure form
The move was quickly cast by the Republican State Committee as further evidence that her family engaged in "a shady stock deal" involving the company, Ultrawave Labs Inc.
A Shaheen spokesman had told the New Hampshire Union Leader and other media outlets that William Shaheen's stock options in Ultrawave had expired before they were acted on.
Shaheen spokesman Harrell Kirstein said on Thursday that the form would be amended to reflect the fact that the options had in fact expired. He noted that it was not unusual for members of the Senate to amend the disclosure forms.
GOP Committee Chairman Jennifer Horn stated: "It's clear that Senator Shaheen provided inaccurate information to the Senate Ethics Committee on her personal financial disclosure form. This error raises questions about a potential conflict of interest involving the Shaheens and their involvement with a company that received federal stimulus funds."

Soaring above the cyber storm
When Dan Ahlers decided to open Video Plus 15 years ago, people told him it wasn't a wise business venture. They told him the industry had one foot in the grave.Those offering Ahlers advise weren't necessarily wrong – outside of Dell Rapids it can be challenging to find a brick and mortar business still renting videos. But the skeptics didn't count on old-fashioned customer service and laughably low prices building a loyal fan base that has business booming at Video Plus."By industry standards, when I was getting into it, the glory days were over. I was told that my business would never last, that I couldn't do it and that the days of the video store were over," Ahlers said Friday morning as he readied for another day of business. "That was 15 years ago."While Blockbuster, Hollywood Video and thousands of other video stores have closed doors across the country as Redbox kiosks and Netflix have dominated the industry, Ahlers is weathering the storm by not reinventing the wheel."I think customer service is what's most important," he said. "That's one thing our competition really can't offer. You're either talking to a machine or a website."Netflix and Redbox aren't the only reason so many video stores have folded. A lot of the blame, Ahlers said, can be placed on the failed businesses."Poor service, pricing themselves out of the market and I think sometimes poor business models … that's what it got to be with some of the big stores," he said. "It became about the number of copies on the shelf, not the level of service that was being provided." While perusing the 12,000-title catalogue at Video Plus Friday evening, Tom Schwebach said he enjoys the wide selection you wouldn't find in a rental kiosk."They have a heck of a great selection here," he said.Tammi Schwebach said she prefers renting from Video Plus because late fees are only 25 cents per day, four times less than Redbox's penalty for overdue movies. And she estimated Netflix wouldn't be any cheaper either."If we looked at what we spend on movies for the year, we wouldn't make it up through Netflix," she said.Ahlers prides himself on offering a fair price."Our prices really haven't changed or gone up since the day we opened," he said. "My rental prices have been the same. I don't charge extra for BluRay (late fees), and a 24-ounce pop is still 99 cents."

Cruz visits NH, pushes end to Obamacare
"I'm glad to be here with friends here in New Hampshire, and I'll tell you I've been traveling all over the country working to energize the grassroots and to mobilize the American people to rise up and stop Obamacare and defund Obamacare." he said.
"So I am doing everything I can to reach out and carry the message that Obamacare isn't working. That Obamacare is the number one job killer in this country. And that it's hurting people who are struggling.
"It's causing more and more people to lose their jobs. It's causing more and more people to have their hours forcibly reduced to 29 hours a week. It's causing more and more people to have their health insurance premiums go up.
"Just this week UPS was forced to send letters to 18,000 employees telling them that they are losing their spousal coverage. Their husbands and wives are going to be dropped from health insurance because of Obamacare.
He got several standing ovations during his speech, and when he mentioned potential Republican presidential candidates for 2016, he did not name himself but several people in the audience shouted out his name for inclusion in that list.
Although Cruz is not saying what his future career plans are, his trip to New Hampshire — the first-in-the-nation primary state — brought with it a substantial number of national media, interested in what he has to say.

For me the problem is the -s or silent option in the time-compile-mplayer command. Just running the same commands that script does without timing gives me wild results sometimes works, sometimes dont. It is never silent. Running the script time-compile-mplayer without the -s option is silent anyway. I would guess that may be a make bug? Anyway silent or -s seems uneeded and since Michael assumed the -jX was the problem he fell back to -s which is problem no matter with or without the -j option. But just running with make -j5 gives me more real results. Seems to end with encoder or mencoder right?
Anyway there's my 2 cents.
Edit: Yes sometimes the time-compile-mplayer would work but for me it was completly random but it I just ran phoronix-test-suite run build-mplayer it seemed to work more than not. Where like compile or multicore would fail more than not evem though it is first in all those I belive.

about 6 years ago
Last night I lay in bed
My gut sick and sour
pounding in my head
tragedy struck this hourKnowing something was not right
the void of not knowing
kept awake half the night
while red lights were glowingWhile the world lay sleeping
we are alert and awake
vigilant guard he was keeping
making no mistakeAll of us connected by fate
a brother now laid
forever to rest on this date
his oath and promise be paidSt Michael Protect Us ...
For we fight the good fight
leaving our families behind
kissing them good night
going back to the grindPut ourselves in harms way
so that others may rest
knowing we keep evil at bay
being the best of the bestThe blue line has been stained
with the blood of a brother
all feel sorrow and are pained
all feel the loss of anotherSt Michael Protect Us ...
Hunt them down we yell
none will take rest
find the evil from hell
desecrated our crestBlack band across shield
blue blood ties us together
great strength we do wield
stay strong in bad weatherWHEN ONE FALLS, WE ALL FALL ...

What do you think of the
SUGOi RS Full Gloves
? Share a...
Poor quality
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
Great fit, but stitching completely fell apart after only three rides. Glove is unusable now and will be returned.
Christian Day
Could not get them to fit
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
I bought these when they showed up on Chainlove. I like the idea of gloves without velcro cuffs, but the opening at the cuffs was *way* too small. I ordered size large and my very ordinary sized hands couldn't even get four fingers inside.
That said, Backcountry rocks! I asked for a return, which they granted. Easy peasy.

Sugoi RS full glove
Clint J Stevenson
Sugoi RS full glove
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
Initially I liked these gloves. Gloves with no Velcro cuff are my favorite. After a couple rides they fell apart. Maybe they can fix there durability issues and produce a better product in the future.
Color leaks.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I ordered the white in XL. The gloves arrived in a moldy package, they had spots all over.
The first try resulted in a tearing the seam at the entrance, without much effort, maybe the seams were wekened by the mold. However I took them for a ride. It was cold and the gloves were comfortable, the padding on the palms looks really good and it seems like it will do very whell in a crash. After the ride i soaked them together with my brand new jersey and pants for a wash. A huge mistake, that I could've not forsee. The black color leaked all over the white parts of the gloves and also my jersey /red and white/ resulting in ugly purple stains.
After writing the review I decided to contact competetivecyclist. The customer cervise was expetional! They are sending me new jersey as well as a refund for the gloves. This is trully an awesome site! I do most of my shopping here and I am very impressed by the way they handled my problem.
Best gloves currently available
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
A simple, sold-black, bad-ass look combined with excellent padding, moderately breathable fabric, and no stupid velcro strap make these gloves king of the hill. They are even smartphone usable. I ordered multiple pairs because we all know these companies don't know a good things when they make it and will likely make the next version worse. They are tight to stay put, but not overly so, and easier to get on an off than other similar gloves.

Sugoi RS gloves
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
Love the no Velcro cuff ! If it fits like a glove you don't need it ! They run a bit small, maybe my hands are large ???? I already tore the opening . Nice fit though.
Fits like a glove
Full finger with no velcro strap. The index finger has special material for smartphone.
My first Sugoi full finger gloves
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I had many full finger gloves from Fox and Giro and they all come with strap to secure the gloves. These strap after many years and many washing will loose grip and become useless. I was fortunate to find Sugoi full finger gloves with no velcro strap. I am ready to ride my MTB in Fall and Winter.

Purchase Reason
This canvas is beautiful. The colors are amazing!
Purchase Reason
Love it! I got on canvas not framed and was concerned it would not look finished, but is not the case. The canvas is painted black on the sides where it wraps on the wood and done very well. This kept the cost down and I had way to many framed family pics in the dining room and not framed adds to it being a focal look which I like! Many compliments!
Purchase Reason
Perfect colors for my office.
Purchase Reason
picture is odd size with white borders hard to find an off the shelf mat, I left the white space showing because I did not want to buy a custom mat.
Purchase Reason
Pretty and soft colors that will go in a room with many different colors.
