Nyjer Morgan's seven-game suspension for an alleged incident with fans in Philadelphia has been eliminated upon appeal, but his eight-game suspension for a series of events that culminated in a brawl in Florida has been upheld, according to a source familiar with the decision.
Thus, the total 15 games the Nationals outfielder was originally due to miss will be reduced to eight. Morgan will begin serving his time tomorrow and will miss this weekend's series at the Phillies, plus next week's series against the Astros and the first of a three-game series against the Braves.
Bob Watson, Major League Baseball's vice president for on-field operations, heard Morgan's appeal during a meeting Friday at Nationals Park that lasted more than four hours. After considering Morgan's side of the incident at Citizens Bank Park and gathering more evidence, Watson determined it didn't merit any suspension. Varied accounts of the incident said Morgan had been engaged in ongoing talk with fans and threw a ball into the center-field bleachers that struck a fan who wasn't paying attention.
Watson did uphold his original, eight-game suspension for a series of events that came after the August 21 game against the Phillies. That suspension was handed for intentionally running into Cardinals catcher Bryan Anderson during an August 28 game at Nationals Park, shouting at fans at Sun Life Stadium in Miami on August 31, charging theRead more »

Tough break for the Phillies. They get stuck taking on a Nats lineup that won't have Nyjer and his .636 OPS. Then Nyjer returns in time to make outs by the barrelful for the Braves.
- Pilchard - Sep 16, 2010 at 7:36 PM
From his picture, Nyjer looks pleased with the outcome of his appeal.
- Harper_ROY_2012 - Sep 16, 2010 at 7:38 PM
Nyjer should have been suspended for the rest of the season so he could go home and think about what an A$$ he is!

Speaking of Phillies and the Astros series. Thought id share this email i received from Travel Zoo – Nats ticket price reductions for those two home series: http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/was/ticketing/groups_events.jsp?group=travelzoo&partnerId=travelzoo_was_septgames_091510
- P. Cole - Sep 16, 2010 at 8:58 PM
It's probably for the best that Nyjer doesn't play again in Philly.

Go Nyjer!!!

I love Nyjer – screw the racists that don't like him!
- Oldtimerjim - Sep 16, 2010 at 11:56 PM
Nyjer can play on my team any time!
- CapPeterson - Sep 17, 2010 at 12:42 AM
Yeah, I'm one of those "racists" who think Bernadina's a better all-around CF.But it doesn't matter what the anonymous non-racists or the likes of me think. Nyj will return triumphantly to the top of the lineup, and to CF, when the suspension lifts. Next spring, he will be anointed as the starting CF by Rizzo and whoever the manager is at the time. The Flying Dutchman has been banished to LF, permanently.Me? I'm going to enjoy my 8-game vacation from Nyjer.
- Michael J. Hayde - Sep 17, 2010 at 12:47 AM
At last, sane heads prevail: Nyjer gets the suspension he deserves for his unsportsmanlike conduct, while the alleged and highly suspect "fan incident" is rightfully dismissed.I admire Nyjer – certainly more than the armchair GMs that post here – but he did go overboard during those few days. It's clear he wants to succeed, and I believe he wants to help the team more than himself. But the hockey behavior has got to be replaced with sound baseball instincts if that's going to happen.
- Milo - Sep 17, 2010 at 2:30 AM
Good point about the hockey behavior. He also needs to learn how to think as a hitter, and in general play for the team, not just on it. If he doesn't get it by the middle of next summer he's most likely gone.
- Sec3MySofa - Sep 17, 2010 at 3:47 AM
I like Nyjer and hope they keep him, but the man is 31–he probably knows 95% of all the baseball he'll ever learn, already. I hope he gets a clue about not getting picked off, but you don't learn how to catch fly balls in your 30s, generally. Not well, anyway.
- Sec3MyEyes - Sep 17, 2010 at 3:54 AM
of course, now watch him get lasik over the winter and all this goes away…
- JaneB - Sep 17, 2010 at 3:56 AM
The Nyjer I watch has made some mistakes, sure. But he makes spectacular catches and manufactures runs in smart ways. He's not an idiot. It's like the filter people see him through is of someone who is a bonehead, so you miss the good stuff. About which there is plenty. There is no doubt but that he cares about making stuff happen. Even on days when the rest of the team is low.I'm glad they dumped the Philly fan suspension .
- N. Cognito - Sep 17, 2010 at 11:03 AM
Take away the bad boy behavior and the numerous bonehead plays and what have you got? A declining, 31 year old player who is having his anti-career year and can't steal bases at a successful rate.I would be very happy if he were not re-signed, but a one year contract, for a low amount, in hopes that at least his OBP rebounds to a respectable level, is not a bad gamble. However, if during the seson he continues to struggle at the plate (there is no doubt he will continue to struggle on the basepaths – he always has), I would hope the Nats would be wise enough to cut him loose.
- NatsJack in Florida - Sep 17, 2010 at 11:46 AM
As a Nyjer detractor for practically the whole season, the last 12 games has shown that without all the overboard hockey style approach to baseball, he can at least comport himself as a baseball player. A very mediocre baseball player but a baseball player non the less.His OBP is still horrendous, he can make an average play in CF look exciting and he still can't hit a cut-off man. We need a bonafide CF'er and a bonafide lead off man.
- Bowdenball - Sep 17, 2010 at 12:45 PM
Nyjer is terrible at getting on base, bats for less power than Livan Hernandez, and gets caught stealing/picked off so often that he's basically a break-even proposition on the basepaths despite his speed.It doesn't take an "armchair GM" to see these things- they're right there on his stat line- nor to know that it makes him an absolutely terrible offensive baseball player. And pointing out that the Nationals' leadoff hitter is an absolutely terrible offensive baseball player does not make someone a "racist."
- natsfan1a - Sep 17, 2010 at 12:54 PM
I also like Nyjer and am glad that the Philly suspension did not hold up. I'm still curious on which input the initial ruling was based (Internet chatter, report from the fan in question, reports from actual eyewitnesses?). Seems to me that some were quick to jump on him without having complete information, but I suppose that's the Internet age talking.
- Anonymous - Sep 17, 2010 at 1:05 PM
The same idiot that thinks anyone who doesn't like Nyjer is a racist is the same warped thinking that prevailed around Obama.NatsJack in Florida perfectly described Nyjer. His stats speak for his worth to this team except an argument could be made to have him back in 2011 as a bench player.
- Anonymous - Sep 17, 2010 at 2:45 PM
Nyjer Morgan's WAR for 2010 is .5 which is worth about $2.2 mil; his salary is $450,000. In 2009 his WAR was 4.9. Clearly he has some glaring holes in his game but there is a chance that his overall value is at least somewhere between these 2 and as such he would likely be a good return on investment for next year. Let's not be so quick to throw Nyjer out and let's not blame him for judgment errors which should be controlled by the manager.
- 320R2S15 - Sep 17, 2010 at 2:45 PM
Nyjer cannot be my center fielder for one reason only. He has no arm. That, if nothing else should keep him off a contending team. All the other stuff is bad, but if he had an arm, I could get over it. Everyone else in baseball knows this, so why is Rizzo laying out for the guy?
- Anonymous - Sep 17, 2010 at 5:32 PM
320R2S15,Johnny Damon has no arm either but it didn't stop him from starting in the outfield for 3 World series champions (2 in center field); the point is you can't have a perfect player at every position and over all if Morgan can come close to what he did in 2009 he gives you good return on investment.
- natsfan1a - Sep 17, 2010 at 6:55 PM
Cowboy up, Tony Plush!
- JaneB - Sep 17, 2010 at 7:06 PM
320R2S15: you're arguing with reality. He IS your center fielder till he gets traded or retires.

03.02.2013 /
ANAHEIM, California – Red Bull KTM Factory rider Ryan Dungey won his first 450 SX Supercross race of the season in front of a packed Anaheim crowd at Angel Stadium. Dungey's win marked the second KTM win of the night after his teammate, Ken Roczen, took the victory in the 250 SX Class for the second weekend in a row.
Ryan Dungey's day started well with him turning fast lap times in the afternoon qualifiers. Unfortunately, a mechanical issue right at the start of his heat caused him to not finish the race and he had to race the LCQ.
In the LCQ, Dungey got caught in a first turn pile up and had to work his way into qualifying position. He passed into the final qualifying spot on the last lap to transfer into the main event.
His luck would change when the gate dropped for the main event. Dungey leaped out front to a 2nd place start behind Mike Alessi. He quickly made a pass into the lead on the second lap of the race and he never looked back. Dungey pulled away out front on his KTM 450 SX-F while the others battled behind him to take his first win of the 2013 Supercross season.
Dungey and Roczen's win marks KTM's first-ever sweep of both Supercross classes. "Tonight has been a great night," remarked Red Bull KTM Team Manager Roger DeCoster. "We are so proud of both our rider's and the entire work our team has put in to get to this point. Now we just need to work harder to stay here."

Stained Glass Art
Dawn Johnson, owner of Stained Glass Creations by Dawn, became involved with Stained Glass more than eleven years ago. It all started by taking one class and she instantly fell in love with this form of artistic expression. Dawn not only does the Tiffany technique in Stained Glass but also does Glass Mosaic Art, which includes garden items such as patio stones, flower pots and garden stakes. Her passion for glass led her to learn how to do fused glass in a kiln and doing open torch work and making handmade glass beads and flameworked glass art. Dawn has also begun to work with silver and other metals in creating jewelry.
She loves to incorporate these techniques together in her art glass creations, whether it is a window hanging or a lovely piece of jewelry.
Dawn's business is a home studio and she does approximately 2 or 3 art shows each year. She has also been teaching at a local Stained Glass Studio in Madison for the past 9 years.
Dawn hopes that through her artwork she can "Color Your World With Glass."

Charles A. Lindbergh and his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, flew in their Lockheed Sirius aircraft on two significant missions, one in 1931 and the other in 1933. The first flight in 1931 was to the Orient. This flight successfully proved the viability of using the great circle to navigate from the West to the East via the North. In 1933 the Lindberghs again flew the Sirius across the Atlantic, this time on survey flights to gather valuable information for planning commercial air transport routes for the North and South Atlantic.
Upon returning in late 1933, Charles Lindbergh donated the aircraft and the material support items to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City where they were displayed in the Hall of Ocean Life. When the museum deaccessioned the collection it was sent to the United States Air Force Museum. In 1959 it was decided that the aircraft did not represent the Air Force and the collection was then transferred to the Smithsonian Institution's Air Museum. Every possible space of the aircraft was utilized to carry supplies during the flights.
The objects in this collection are representative of these mission support and personal items carried. These objects serve to illustrate the essential equipment that would have been taken on international exploratory flights during the 1920s and 1930s.

Last night as the lovely husband took L upstairs for bed I looked out the window to a just-cleared evening sky and proposed to E a walk.
It had rained. It had rained all afternoon the kind of rain that made my daughters jump in fear in their carseats when the thunder crashed; the kind where the sky was not gray, but yellow; the kind that kept us huddled indoors; the kind where traffic lights were out and at more than one stretch I was grateful for the all-wheel drive that made my car feel steady as it auditioned for the Duck Tours amphibious fleet.
And then, just around the younger one's bedtime, a puff of cooler air blew in and carried the storm clouds away. So out we went.
Small rivers flowed down the gutters of houses and the edges of lawns. E made a game of Being Unpredictable. At ever encounter with water she made the decision: Jump Over? or Splash In? without ever warning me of her choice. We walked in the middle of the street because we have no sidewalks but also because of the edge rivers but also because the best pavement cracks for following are in the middle of the street. Everyone knows that and when you see a crack you have to follow it, even if it takes you backwards, even if it takes you to water. She loves to hold hands when we walk, which I love as well, but be it known that holding hands with E is not akin to a moving snuggle; it's akin to becoming one of the monitoring wires attached to the body of an aerobics instructor during a fitness efficiency test. It is an endurance exam of one's balance and wit and dexterity and crossing guard skills. You never know when you might be called upon to stop short to express a vocal EWWWW!! at some poor shlub of a worm who has just been flooded out of her subterranean and preschooler-free home. You never know when you might be yanked into a full sprint because a doggie has been spotted, and doggies need to be petteded.
We followed dogs and said hi to neighbors and encircled cul-de-sacs and as the sky grew dark we played peekaboo with the moon, who had a mischievous habit of hiding behind trees. And we talked, nonstop. E's past the age where she still believes I know everything (that ended when she asked me a few months ago, what sound does a giraffe make?) because she now hears from me at least a gazbillion times a day, "I don't know, love, but let's look it up next time we're near a computer." She's not, however, past the age where new knowledge is wondrous. I hope she isn't for a very long time.
Two days ago as I tried to take the girls home safely in another monsoon (and remind me to tell you another time about what that was like, when I had one umbrella with which to get the girls out of daycare and E took it from my hands and ran with it and L wanted an umbrella so she started screaming and sat down right on the ground in the pouring rain reaching towards her increasingly-far-off sister for that stupid umbrella, wearing no jacket because neither girl had brought a jacket that day, and the daycare director herself came out just then, and seeing L on the ground tried to pull her up and shelter her under her umbrella, but she leaned in too close and L got the umbrella handle and grabbed it and pulled it down to her height and the director, who is five months pregnant and also had just gotten her hair done, squat-walked all the way to my car under her own umbrella that was in the hands and power and control of my knee-high daughter, good times indeed) I was talking through my motions in an attempt to calm down the two wound-up children following a challenging transition from school to car amidst flashes of bolt lightning. I was monologuing about turning on the car's headlights and turning on the windshield wipers and turning on the window defrosters and turning on the rear wiper and E cut me off: a BACK WIPER? Yes, I said, the windshield wiper on the back window, and she replied incredulously, well, why do you need one of those??!! And I answered too simply, well, because the rain falls on the back window, too, and the back wiper clears the window so I can see, just like the front wipers clear the front window so I can see. She started sputtering. How do you see behind us!!??!!??!! And ohhhh, I thought. She doesn't know about the mirrors. I explained to her about rear-view mirrors and side-view mirrors. She hadn't known about them. She never knew that rear-view vision is part of driving. It's a nothing thing, but she never knew. And she was fascinated.
So we were walking, talking about the kinds of doggies we saw and the kinds of birds we saw and the kinds of trees we passed, and also looking in every single parked vehicle we passed to see if it had a rear-view mirror. (They all did.) The doggies weren't hard because we asked their owners about their breeds; the birdies weren't hard just because we didn't see anything too exotic; the trees weren't too difficult because there are only about three trees I can identify, so there was a whole lot of "I don't know, but we can try to look it up later." We did pass oak tree after oak tree (which I can identify), and when we came to an oak tree with a tree face on it E was as captivated as she was with the revelation about rear-view mirrors. (Which proves, incidentally, that the mind you're born with is an amazing gift not to be taken for granted, but tacky still must be taught.) Why does that tree have a face, Mama? she giggled, and thereon oak trees were all called face trees.
We turned back onto our street and could see our house, two doors down, its porch light warmly awaiting our return. We paused at the corner, that intersection of Aimless Wandering and Almost Bedtime, and we called out some goodnight wishes to our adventure, to our neighborhood. She would speak and I would repeat her words and they became an offering, a prayer, that we sent out on the cool breeze for anything that might be receptive to hearing it. Goodnight, moon, she offered and waved, and I repeated. Goodnight, birdies. Goodnight, street cracks. Goodnight, nice doggies. Goodnight, face trees.
We stood in the gloaming and she pulled free of my hand for the first time since we had set out. She looked at our porch light, measured with her eyes and asked me: Mama, can I run home all by myself? And I nodded. Yes.
A mind, that, in a calm angelic mood
Of happy wisdom, meditating good,
Beholds, of all from her high powers required,
Much done, and much designed, and more desired,--
Harmonious thoughts, a soul by truth refined,
Entire affection for all human kind.

we write this with Bridgman in multiple places and multiple times.
and the result ist: no amd will not grow there open-source driver team because there team are already bigger than there open-source driver market share.
and they also think if the linux market grow they all use the Catalyst they really think no one use the open-source driver )Read: market share is to low(.
its not only windows vs linux its catalyst vs radeon driver.
in fact the radeon driver is payed by the Server CPU (Opteron) customers only because they want OpenCL on GPUs as a co-processor. because of this they work on OpenCL but not on power-managment. And these linux opteron customers don't want closed source catalyst. *
#Also the forum show the truth: Bridgman don't think Linux grow on the desktop he think only google chrombook OS and andorid grow and because of this the website statistic show more linux systems. '
also amd think andorid (2% market share) is a more important market than GNU/Linux (1,5% market share)
so your news about linux market share grow dosn't matter for AMD!

Great cassette, last one got several thousand miles without problem and still changing well. Ordered to have it ready when signs of wear show on the current 105.

i love the new 105 chain and cassette i bought. the ride is much smoother and quieter with my new components.
30 August 2014 by javier
I don't know why anyone would buy Ultergra or SRAM 1070 10-speed cassettes when PBK has the 105 at such a terrific price. The 105 shift as well or better than Ultegra or SRAM, are reliable,durable, and are available at an amazing price.
6 June 2014 by velodan
After much searching for the best price, I found this cassette at probikekit.com and quickly ordered it. This component is something that I usually hate to buy, but have to at least once a season. Probikekit.com made the experience simple and economical and I appreciate that. Also, my CX bike appreciates the smooth and quiet action of the cassette and the gear ratio is perfect for me and the main reason why I didn't buy a competitors product. Keep up the good work PBK!

I use these for cyclocross. 12-27 is perfect, and with how many cassettes / wheels I use for 'cross, the 105 level is a value leader. Not the lightest, but then again neither am I. Buy this with confidence.

Delivery was much faster than expected. Perfect packaging - part was fresh in original never opened box. Verry fair and competitive price.

Efforts to rebuild the more 100 Yarnell homes destroyed June 30 during a deadly wildfire have recorded an initial milestone.
The Prescott Daily Courier reported that Yarnell Chamber of Commerce President Chuck disclosed during a community meeting that the first building permit has been issued for reconstruction of a home destroyed by the Yarnell Hill Fire.
The fire killed 19 members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots when changing winds swept flames through their position outside Yarnell in western Yavapai County in west-central Arizona.
Tidey said the rebuilding is being aided by $1.2 million of donations to the Yarnell Recovery Group.
Tidey said goals include having the first home reconstruction start by Sept. 1 and completing reconstruction of all uninsured primary residences by Dec. 31.

About Warm Bodies
R (Nicolas Hoult) is everything a girl would want; cute, introspective and agreeably placid. He's also a slowly-decaying zombie with very basic motor functions and little to no linguistic ability. The world has been ravaged by the apocalypse and now zombies of varying degrees of decomposition and aggression roam around hunting for braaaaiiiins. Via R's voiceover we learn that he is sad about the state of the world: he lives in an abandoned airplane surrounded by relics from a past that he can't quite remember and wanders the airport participating in a shuffling parody of ordinary life with his best friend M (Rob Corddry). But when he meets Julie (Teresa Palmer), the human girlfriend of one of his victims, R starts to feel something happening to him.

Why Your Body Is Only As Strong As Its Weakest Link
Here's a simple fact of life"If your back and legs can dead-lift 700lb, but your grip ends at 300lbs, your dead-lift is 300 lbs. When it comes to strength, you are only as strong as your weakest link and most strength athletes know that fact all too well."Will Brink, strength trainer for US SWAT teams
Your body's weakest link is your grip. It's the same with pretty much everyone: bodybuilder, athlete, MMA fighter. There aren't many people who don't want to improve their grip.
But most people don't realize that their grip is holding back their whole body's strength development.
The reason is: most barbells and dumbbells are ridiculously easy to grip. They're designed that way. That's fine when you're getting started. The trouble comes later on…
After you've been training a few months – or even a few years – you'll start to plateau. You just can't keep adding on the weight every session like you used to. So you lift the same – you look the same – month after month, year after year. (I know – that was me for years.)
This is what's been going on. While you've been building up the rest of your body, your grip has been left behind. It has become your weak link.
The barbells and dumbbells you've been training with have become your own worst enemy. By being easy for you to grip, they've stopped you developing strength in your hands and your forearms.
Dr Mauro Di Pasquale, author of The Anabolic Solution, former Medical Director of the World Body- building Federation and former World Powerlifting Champion.The body is only as strong as its weakest link"The body is only as strong as its weakest link. Weakness in the forearms and wrists will limit how hard you can work your arms and the rest of your upper body."
Your body is programmed to stay in proportion – so weak forearms put the brakes on your muscular development
Your body's natural reaction is to prevent imbalance and injury. So if you're lacking strength in your grip and forearms – and almost everyone is – your body literally stops you increasing in strength and size.
Having a strong grip doesn't just mean you can mash Captains of Crush grippers. It literally unlocks your body's potential to smash through your plateau and develop every muscle in your body.
You don't need to do more exercises. You don't need grippers or forearm extensions. You don't even need more time in the gym.
The most effective way to increase your grip and forearm strength is…
Brooks Kubik, author of legendary training manual Dinosaur Training and holder of over 12 US and world records in the bench pressDevelop maximum muscle size and strength"Using a thick-handled bar is one of the very best things you can do to develop maximum muscular size and strength. It develops levels of upper body power virtually incomprehensible to those who train only with regular bars."
Training with thick bars
Thick-bar training is a whole different ball game. It's like watching guys switch from machines to free weights for the first time – the difference is intense and immediate. (Seriously – try Fat Gripz risk-free today and we guarantee you'll feel the difference immediately.)
"Train with thick bars when training the upper body. Can't add size to your biceps? Try working the forearms!"Charles Poliquin, world famous Weight Lifting/Strength Training/Powerlifting Coach & trainer of over 400 Olympic athletes, Olympic medalists in 17 different sports and numerous bodybuilders and stars of the NFL and NHL
When you train with thick bars, you're automatically targeting your body's weak links that were literally stopping you increasing in size and strength.
"Invest in a thick bar and do ALL of your barbell exercises
with it"Joe DeFranco, world famous Weight Lifting/Strength Training/Powerlifting Coach and Trainer of NFL football players from ALL 32 NFL teams!
This set of thick-grip dumbbells costs £15,000!
Read on for a cheaper and more effective solution.
"So if thick bar training is so effective, why doesn't everybody do it?"
The secret behind thick-bar training is ridiculously simple. But it can also be ridiculously expensive.
Just one high-quality thick barbell can cost over £500.00. That's nothing – a full set of thick dumbbells can cost over $8,000.00!
That's why almost no gyms have thick barbells – let alone dumbbells. The only guys who can afford to get the elite advantage of thick-bar training are Olympic athletes and professional sports teams.
But now thick-bar training is within easy reach of anyone in weight lifting, strength training, UFC/MMA and powerlifting.
Charles Poliquin, trainer of over 400 Olympic athletes, Olympic medalists in 17 different sports and numerous bodybuilders and stars of the NFL and NHLBetter than anything else i have ever seen"Thick dumbbells are not cheap and you can only find them in top notch training centers. But there is an alternative: FAT GRIPZ. They are tough as hell and fit on any regular weight training equipment better than anything else I have ever seen. Now you have no excuses for sporting your weak eleven-teen inch arms!"
How Fat Gripz Can Unlock Massive Increases
In Your Strength And Mass
Fat Gripz will give you the benefits of thick-bar training – at a fraction of the price.
They instantly turn any bar into thick bars. That's why everyone from professional footballers to mixed-martial arts fighters is using them.
Most Olympic bars are 1" thick. Slide on your Fat Gripz and all your bars will be more than twice as thick – not just your barbell, but your dumbbells, pull-up bar and cable attachments too.
There's no need for extra exercises – no forearm extensions, wrist rollers or grippers. Fat Gripz work with your existing exercise routine to develop functional hand and forearm strength.
Unlike products that you squeeze to get a stronger grip, thick-bar training with Fat Gripz improves your grip when it's at its weakest – when lifting heavy weights. That way, every time you press, row, curl with Fat Gripz, you're improving your grip – your weak link – which in turn trains your chest, back and arms more effectively.
The science behind training with Fat Gripz
The proof below explains exactly why thick-bar training with Fat Gripz is more effective.
When you use Fat Gripz in your normal workout, you're improving the effectiveness of the exercise in three ways.
Fat Gripz can help reduce pressure on joints like your wrists, elbows and shoulders.
1. You'll spread the weight more evenly across your body
When you first use Fat Gripz, you may notice that there's less pressure on joints like your wrists, elbows and shoulders.
By using a wider grip on the bar, you're actually spreading the weight more evenly across your joints.
This helps you:
- Decrease the risk of injury – Because the weight's spread evenly, there's less pressure on individual joints like your wrists or elbows. In fact, Fat Gripz can even help to heal existing injuries.
- Lift more weight – With Fat Gripz, you won't be limited by pain in your joints or the memory of old training injuries. Instead, they allow your core muscles to lift the weight efficiently and effectively. (What's more, with fewer injuries, you'll be able to train more consistently and make quicker gains.)
"I have had some severe elbow pain for over 8 months and have been unable to perform any pressing exercises for approximately 2 months. I had to completely change my routine until yesterday when I tried someone's Fat Gripz in the gym. It alleviated a huge amount of pain and I was able to push 225lbs all the way up to 315lbs with no pain."Rishi Muchalla
"I had completely given up flat benching due to a rotator cuff injury and minor pec tear. I saw so much info on fat bar pressing and the wonders it does for joint health I had to give it a shot. I now use Fat Gripz on all pressing movements, and most biceps/triceps exercises. My chest and arms have never looked better!"Ryan Munsey, Roanoke, VA
"The first night I used them I noticed an immediate burn in my forearms but I did not experience the pain in my wrist that I normally have. Using the Fat Gripz forced me to straighten my wrist and not have the normal strain on them."Carl J Collins, who's been training for over 35 years
"Jay has pretty severe elbow tendonitis and it limits his ability to perform certain movements. [Fat Gripz] completely alleviate the pain and tenderness in the elbow/joints and soft tissues of the arm … by shifting all the emphasis of the movement onto the forearm/grip. Both of us have used them and are blown away at their effectiveness."Jay and Anh Campbell, TheMuscleCouple.com
Jason Ferruggia, New Jersey, Chief Training Adviser To Men's Fitness Magazine, Strength & Conditioning SpecialistStimulates arm growth beyond the norm"These little suckers instantly turn any standard bar or dumbbell into a fat bar. This increases your grip strength and stimulates arm growth beyond what a normal bar or dumbbell can. They easily slip on and off and are made of extremely high quality, heavy duty rubber which is hard as a rock and doesn't wear out or compress."
2. You'll increase muscle activation
When you use Fat Gripz, you engage your hands and forearms more than with a regular bar.
Charles Sherrington, neurophysiologist and Nobel laureate, states that the harder a muscle works, the more its neighboring muscles are activated – amplifying their strength.
So that means by working your hands and forearms harder, you're increasing the muscle activation – and strengthening your upper arms, shoulders, chest and back.
That's not all. Just holding the Fat Gripz on the bar is a completely difference experience to holding a regular bar. Your hands, forearms and upper arms are forced to work harder, helping to increase their strength and size.
"Have Fat Gripz made a difference? Absolutely! My grip strength has increased dramatically. My forearms have finally started to respond to training like never before."Zach, Texas
Dave Tate, world-renowned powerlifter, founder of Elite Fitness Systems and holder of elite status in powerlifting (in three weight classes) with best lifts of a 935 squat, 740 deadlift, 610 bench press and 2,205 total!Once you go fat you will never go back!"Once you go fat you will never go back! We all know it's not about the length, but the thickness… Fat Gripz - I love them"
3. You'll eliminate imbalances
Every exercise you do with Fat Gripz will help to strengthen your grip, hands and forearms. And by eliminating these weak links, you're unlocking bigger strength and muscle increases in your whole body.
Because our bodies are programmed to stay in proportion, the brain actually stops your arms, chest, shoulders and back developing – until your hands and forearms catch up. You can keep on training regardless – but you'll hit a plateau.
Regular barbells and dumbbells don't help – in fact, they actually make it worse. They're designed to be easy on the hands and forearms, meaning that the more you workout, the more they're falling behind.
But when you train with Fat Gripz, you'll start to eliminate imbalances – from the very first workout. The first time, you'll notice an intense burning in your forearms – hotter than anything you'll have felt with grippers, wrist rollers or forearm curl and extensions.
"Great product. Does definitely put a lot more stress on the forearm which, in turn, makes any bicep, tricep, shoulder, or bench press even more intense. Keep up the good work."Eliseo Vera, Texas
Built to last a lifetime
"They feel/look solid as hell. I think I will die before they do. Could be an heirloom.Chris Lemky
Fat Gripz are made from a military-grade high-density compound.
They grip the bar like a clamp and doesn't compress – even when deadlifting extreme loads. That means they won't wear out – even after years of punishment (we guarantee it).
Using Fat Gripz: No New Exercises, No More Time In The Gym – Just Effective Training
Don't change the routine – just add Fat Gripz
With Fat Gripz, you don't need to do any special grip exercises: no grippers, no forearm extensions or forearm curls. You don't need to do any extra sets. You don't even need to spend more time in the gym (unless you like the feeling of your arms burning).
Just put them on your bars and workout like normal. You'll feel the difference immediately. With Fat Gripz, you're doing functional grip training. You're improving your grip at the same time as bench pressing, overhead pressing, deadlifting, rowing – making these exercises massively more effective.
"I did not change my training at all, I just added the Fat Gripz. I have been lifting a long time, 500lb squats, 365 bench press etc, so gaining on my upper arms without putting on any bodyweight only shows how effective Fat Gripz are!! Also, my gains haven't stopped and my arms are continuing to get bigger!!"Wayne Boucher (Ottawa, Canada)
"I F***ING love these Fat Gripz. When I do the same arm routine as usual it takes a whole new level of focus and intensity."Chris Green (USA)
The perfect fit for barbells, dumbbells, pull-up bars and cable attachments
Fat Gripz are 2.25" (5.5 cm) thick when closed. That's over twice as thick as most Olympic bars. Without Fat Gripz, standard bars just feel like toothpicks.
Fat Gripz are 5" (12.5 cm) long. That's big enough to fit your hands, and small enough to fit snugly in virtually every dumbbell (we know – we've literally tested thousands to make sure). We've even beveled the ends of the Fat Gripz to ensure they give a tight fit.
If you're not sure if they'll fit your bars, don't worry. You can try Fat Gripz risk-free for 60 days. If they don't fit your bars – or if you don't see the benefits – just return them for a prompt and full refund (we'll even pay the shipping both ways).
It takes just 10 seconds to add Fat Gripz to your bars
Fat Gripz are simple to use. Just open the slit and push them over your bar. It takes 10 seconds max:
Fat Gripz fit barbells and dumbbells in seconds
When they're in place, they're rock solid on the bar. They won't budge, slip or compress – so you can focus on your lift. And when you're done, just slip them off.
"They easily slip on and off and are made of extremely high quality, heavy duty rubber which is hard as a rock and doesn't wear out or compress"Jason Ferruggia (Chief Training Advisor to Men's Fitness (US))
"No muscle gets let off when you use these, they help seek and destroy every muscle fibre being trained! Everyone has a weakest link that's bringing their training to a halt. Fat Gripz make that weakest link stronger than ever and help maximise gains."Kevin Raison (strength and conditioning coach, UK)
"Do it – as long as you don't mind not text messaging for a few days after using them."Jimmy (New Jersey, USA)
Feel the difference in your first workout
I know what you're thinking. Anything that promises that you'll feel the difference in the first workout must be BS. You've heard it all before.
I thought the same thing. Till I tried thick bar training myself. Nothing – nothing – compares to training with a thick bar. Your arms will feel pumped, your veins will be popping out, and the next day… Let's just say, go easy the first time you use them.
We get a ton of feedback from people who use Fat Gripz (you can see a fraction of it on this page). Everyone says the same thing:
Effective in all barbell and dumbbell exercises
Fat Gripz work in every exercise where your hands grip a barbell, dumbbell, pull-up bar or cable attachment.
These are just a selection:
Bench press
"Stronger grip means more weight and more reps. Particularly noticeable with dumbbell flat and incline bench as well as upright rows."
John Fellers (PA, USA) -
Bicep curls
"I'm a 198lbs with 21" arms. The Fat Gripz hit the bicep as well as forearm great. I believe my grip is getting stronger which is very important when you got 600+ lbs in your hands and over your head."
Charles Farmer (WABDL 198lb submaster world record holder in the bench press and two-time world champion) -
Tricep pushdowns
"Fat Gripz are great. Killed the triceps, which is what we need for a big bench."
Ron Carroll (LoneStar Barbell Club) -
"My grip now fails last on deadlifts where before it would fail first."
Rafael"My raw deadlift without straps went from about 365 lb for a single to [censored] for a triple. My limiting factor was my grip."
Daven (Colorado, USA) -
Farmer's Walks
"The Marine Raid branch are doing group sled pulls and farmer's walks with Fat Gripz."
Commander Chris Edwards, Expeditionary Warfare Training Group Pacific"I use them for deadlifts, farmer walks, and pullups/chinups. I get a serious workout in much shorter time, especially when I want to increase grip strength without wearing down other muscles."
Justin (UT, USA)"Fat Gripz are awesome on farmers walks. The grips on my handles are already thick but the grips make them extreme. Separates the men from the boys."
TyJ (San Diego, USA)
Who They're For: See What The US Special Forces, MMA Fighters And Athletes Are Saying
Fat Gripz deliver real-world results – whether you're a bodybuilder, Olympic lifter, MMA fighter or athlete.
By making your strength training more effective – as well as giving you a devastating grip – you'll develop transferable skills for every sport.
These are just a few:
Chicago White Sox second baseman Jayson Nix bench
pressing with Fat Gripz
Mixed martial arts
"I love Fat Gripz. They're well worth the investment."Chris Grayson (Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu Academy)
Brian Marshall, Olympic weightlifting champion and
member of the Canadian National Olympic Weightlifting Team
Olympic weightlifting
""I have been working out for 15 years. I was a competitive Olympic weightlifter for 6 of those years. In addition, this is what I do for a living, I am a personal trainer/strength coach. After 4 days off, and no lift today, my arms are bigger than they were at their biggest, 2 years ago right after a workout. And that is in just 4 workouts!"Jeremy Jacobs
You get the idea. It doesn't matter which sport you play – Fat Gripz will help. It doesn't matter whether you're gripping a bat, a club, or a ball – or just the arms of the other guy in the cage.
"Fat Gripz are a must have for any serious strength trainer or athlete, whether you are a badminton player or an MMA gorilla. Plus they'll give you forearms like Popeye!"Joseph Coyne (strength and conditioning expert for Men's Fitness (Australia))
Common Questions
"But can't I just wrap a towel around the bar?"
Good question. A lot of Fat Gripz users started out with a towel or a bit of foam wrapped around the bar. They quickly saw the difference when they progressed to Fat Gripz.
"They are awesome. Been using something similar made with dense foam but your Fat Gripz are incomparably better – rock solid on the bar. I love them – without a doubt the best money I've ever spent."Scott Roberts (UK)
Fat Gripz don't compress - even when you stand them on their end and stick 280 lb on top
It's easy to see why:
- The military-grade hardened compound in Fat Gripz doesn't compress when you hold them. It doesn't matter if you're curling 60 lb or deadlifting 500 lb. Fat Gripz won't compress – so you're always getting effective thick bar training.
- They have a vice-like grip on the bar. There's no movement, there's no give, there's no slippage – so you don't need to worry about the towel slipping and dropping the weight. You can just focus on lifting the weight.
- Fat Gripz are quick to put on and take off your bars. There's no hassle and nothing to tape in place. Just stick them on the bar and lift.
(The only thing Fat Gripz won't do is wipe your sweat off afterwards.)
Try Fat Gripz risk-free for 60 days and see how they compare. If you don't feel the difference, we'll give you a full and immediate refund (we'll even pay shipping both ways).
"Have only trained with them a couple times but so much better than wrapping a towel round the bar.
I'll most definitely do more thick-bar training now!"Steve McMinn (Certified Kettlebell Instructor, Vancouver, Canada)
"But won't I have to use less weight?"
Some people like to temporarily drop the weight as their grip builds up. But that's a good sign – it shows just how much your grip was holding you back. Your grip will quickly build up… and then you'll be stronger than ever.
"Put your ego aside and accept the reduced weights you have to use when employing Fat Gripz. You only need a couple of sets for the pain to tell you it's working!"Rob Smith (UK)
"You have to check your ego at the door as you have to go down in the amount of weight you can use on some exercises, but it's worth it."Nathan Ng (Hawaii)
And some people will find that using Fat Gripz lets them lift more – immediately. Because Fat Gripz relieve pressure from your wrist, elbow and shoulder joints, they allow your core muscles to lift the weight efficiently and effectively.
"I have had some severe elbow pain for over 8 months and have been unable to perform any pressing exercises for approximately 2 months. I had to completely change my routine until yesterday when I tried someone's Fat Gripz in the gym. It alleviated a huge amount of pain and I was able to push 225lbs all the way up to 315lbs with no pain."Rishi Muchalla
Try Fat Gripz risk-free for 60 days and see how they compare. If you don't feel the difference, we'll give you a full and immediate refund (we'll even pay shipping both ways).
Using Fat Gripz in your normal workout improves your functional grip strength
"But I already do grip and forearm exercises"
Exercises with grippers, forearm extensions and curls are a good start.
But with Fat Gripz you're training functional grip strength. You're not just working your forearms in one plane of motion, or just focusing on the grip itself. You're actually strengthening your hands and forearms in the movements where it matters most – when you're lifting.
That's why you can do the same program as normal – just add Fat Gripz and you'll immediately be targeting your grip and forearms as well.
"No muscle gets let off when you use these, they help seek and destroy every muscle fibre being trained! Everyone has a weakest link that's bringing their training to a halt. Fat Gripz make that weakest link stronger than ever and help maximise gains."Kevin Raison (strength and conditioning coach, UK)
Buying Fat Gripz: Feel The Difference In Your First Workout
The Fat Gripz Triple Guarantee
Try Fat Gripz risk-free for 60 days.
You must:
- …feel the difference in your arms in your very first workout

Many nontraditional therapies have been employed to treat whiplash pain, including:
- Acupuncture. By inserting ultrafine needles through specific locations on your skin, acupuncturists can relieve many different types of pain. But research studies have been unable to definitively show that acupuncture can help relieve persistent neck pain caused by strains.
- Chiropractic care. Many people seek chiropractic care for neck pain, and it has been shown in certain types of neck pain to work just as well as, but no better than, physical therapy. Pairing spinal manipulation with exercise provides more benefit. However, chiropractic manipulation of the neck has been associated, in very rare instances, with potentially life-threatening injuries.
- Massage. Kneading the tight muscles in your neck may be helpful if you continue to have muscle spasms for more than a week or two. Relax the muscles in your neck first by taking a hot shower or bath, or by using a moist towel warmed in the microwave.
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). TENS is a device that applies a mild electric current to the skin. This nonharmful current can help to decrease some types of pain, possibly by interfering with the transmission of pain signals or by releasing endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. TENS can help relieve chronic neck pain, but only when combined with exercise.

Springfield, MA (WSHM) -- The New Jersey teenager who made international headlines last month when she sued her mother and father for financial support and college tuition announced she will be attending Western New England University (WNEU) in Springfield next fall with the $56,000 scholarship she was awarded from the school.
"Decision made," Rachel Canning said in a March 30 Facebook post, according to NJ.com. "WNE U class of 2018 BME Major w/ 56,000$ (sic) scholarship."
"Federal privacy laws prohibit colleges and universities from discussing the status of prospective and/or current applicants for admission. Therefore, Western New England University cannot comment on the status of any prospective student," said WNEU's Assistant Vice President for Marketing Communications David Stawasz.
The Catholic high school senior eventually dropped the lawsuit and returned home and reunited with her parents in Lincoln Park, NJ.
The honor student and cheerleader filed the lawsuit against her parents in March, claiming they threw her out and were making her foot the bill for college.
Her father tells a different story, saying "I know Rachel is a) a good kid, and b) an incredibly rebellious teen, and she's getting some terrible information."
Sean Canning claims Rachel ran away in November because she didn't want to follow house rules.
Tuition and mandatory fees are $33,466 for the coming academic year at WNEU. The total cost rises to $46,154 with room and board. The maximum merit scholarship at WNEU is $16,500 per year. The total can rise to $56,000 or higher over the course of four years, according to Stawasz.
"Western New England University routinely offers merit scholarships to incoming freshmen based on academic achievement. These scholarships range from $5,500 to $16,500 annually and are renewable for four years – as long as a student continually meets certain academic benchmarks," Stawasz said. "Therefore, these merit scholarships can total between $22,000 and $66,000 over the course of four years. These scholarships are awarded to all incoming freshmen who meet the academic criteria, independent of financial need."

Disneyland Resort Wins California's Top Environmental Leadership Award
ANAHEIM, Calif., Oct. 20 — Disneyland Resort has won the 2009 Governor's Environmental and Economic Leadership Award (GEELA), California's highest and most prestigious environmental honor. The award recognizes individuals, organizations and businesses that have demonstrated exceptional leadership for voluntary achievements in conserving California's resources, protecting and enhancing the environment and building public-private partnerships. Governor Schwarzenegger recognized Disneyland Resort and 14 other GEELA recipients at a reception at the Governors' Global Climate Summit 2 in Los Angeles on September 30.
"I applaud the Disneyland Resort for their wonderful commitment to our state's commerce and environment. They are an inspiration to many and I thank them for their outstanding leadership," said Governor Schwarzenegger.
"This honor recognizes Disneyland Resort's ongoing commitment to developing socially responsible and environmentally friendly practices that promote environmental protection and economic growth," said Frank Dela Vara, director of environmental affairs and conservation at Disneyland Resort. "We are proud of our commitment to exploring and implementing new technologies and practices that further the environmental legacy left by Walt Disney."
Award recipients are chosen in 10 different categories based on their strength in eight specific areas including results, transferability, environmental impact, resource conservation, economic progress, innovation and uniqueness, pollution prevention and environmental justice. Disneyland received the award for several sustainable practices implemented at the Resort, including the environmentally conscientious efforts to refill the Paradise Bay at Disney's California Adventure; the use of the Resort's processed cooking oil to fuel its steam train locomotives; and the water and energy conservation features incorporated in the Resort's new central bakery.

Columnist Sees Red Over New Campaign and Disney's Green Efforts
Yesterday, we reported on an upcoming ad campaign for the new ABC series 'V.' The campaign, which involves skywriting over the landmarks in several U.S. cities, has caught the angry eye of some environmental watchdogs-slash-tv critics such as Lisa de Moraes of The Washington Post. In her column today, de Moraes looks at some of the environmental cost of the new campaign, admitting it's not the end of the world, but definitely calling out The Walt Disney Company as being somewhat hypocritical.
It's also been barely a month since the environmental activist group Friends of the Earth issued a report card of major cruise lines, ranking Disney Cruise Line last, which you can read more about here.

I was wondering about Hannibal would handle the mind of Will Graham. It looks like a disturbing place. I wonder how NBC will handle the graphic nature of this show. Better yet, can Hannibal compete with the likes of Dexter, a cable series?
The Plot: "Will Graham is a gifted criminal profiler who is on the hunt for a serial killer with the FBI. Graham's unique way of thinking gives him the astonishing ability to empathize with anyone – even psychopaths. He seems to know what makes them tick. But when the mind of the twisted killer he's pursuing is too complicated for even Will to comprehend, he enlists the help of Dr. Lecter, one of the premier psychiatric minds in the country. Armed with the uncanny expertise of the brilliant doctor, Will and Hannibal (known as a serial killer only to the audience) form a brilliant partnership and it seems there's no villain they can't catch. If Will only knew…"
Hannibal will air April 4th (10PM) on NBC for first season of 13 episodes.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). If left untreated, syphilis can cause brain, nerve, tissue damage, and death. Fortunately, syphilis can be treated with antibiotics.
Syphilis is caused by specific bacteria. It is transmitted through direct contact with a syphilis lesion. This may occur when:
Factors that may increase your chance of getting syphilis include:
Symptoms will depend on what stage the syphilis is in. There are four main stages.
A single lesion will usually appear. It will occur in the area where the infection was originally passed. Common sites include the genitals, rectum, tongue, inside of the mouth, or lips.
It will start as a raised and painless lesion. It will gradually break down to form an ulcer. The ulcer is painless at first with raised edges. It usually last for 3-6 weeks. The ulcer will heal on its own.
Without treatment, the infection may move to the secondary stage. This can happen even if the ulcers are no longer visible.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
This stage is marked by the appearance of a non-itchy rash. This rash may appear as rough, red, or reddish brown spots on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet. It is also possible for different rashes to appear in other places on the body. These rashes may appear as:
The rash may be accompanied by flu-like symptoms, such as:
Untreated secondary symptoms will disappear within a few weeks, but there may be repeated episodes during the next few years.
The infection is still present but there are no symptoms. It may or may not progress to the third stage. Blood tests for syphilis will be positive during this stage.
This stage may begin years after the initial infection. This stage has become very rare in developed countries. In this stage, the infection begins to damage:
Damage can be serious enough to cause death. Symptoms include the following:
Babies born with this infection can have problems, such as deafness, cataracts, brain and nerve damage, and seizures. It can also cause premature births or stillbirths.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
Syphilis testing is part of routine prenatal care. This is done to treat and prevent congenital syphilis.
All people who have syphilis should also be tested for HIV.
Syphilis can be treated with antibiotics. The type of antibiotic and length of treatment will depend on how long you have been infected. Half of those being treated for syphilis will have fever with headache, muscle aches, and other symptoms during the first 24 hours of treatment.
If you have syphilis of any stage, avoid sexual relations until treatment is complete and the infection is cleared up. All sex partners should be notified. They will need to be treated as well.
To reduce your chance of getting syphilis:
It may not be obvious that a sex partner has syphilis. Do not assume your partner is healthy just because you do not see lesions.

MadBum aims to extend his road success in KC
Lights-out away from home, Giants lefty opposes southpaw Vargas
For just the 10th time overall and the first time since 2008, the Giants and Royals will go head to head on Friday as the second-place squads begin a weekend series at Kauffman Stadium.
San Francisco enters the set having dropped two of three to the Brewers at Miller Park. Kansas City finished a sweep of Arizona on Thursday night.
Madison Bumgarner, the Giants' Friday starter, wasn't in the Major Leagues the last time these two teams met. His Interleague numbers are average -- he has a 4-4 record to go along with a 4.41 ERA.
Bumgarner, a 6-foot-5 southpaw, has pitched incredibly well on the road, notching a 1.58 ERA. Never has he been better than in his last start at Citi Field.
Against the Mets on Sunday, Bumgarner looked completely at ease, finishing with a two-hit shutout as he bounced back from a rough outing against the Pirates.
Bumgarner struck out 10 and, more importantly, delivered first-pitch strikes to 24 of the 30 batters the Mets sent to the plate.
"Being able to get ahead and throw strike one and get some quick outs with the fastball made the difference," Bumgarner said of that outing.
Kansas City will counter with Jason Vargas, who insists he isn't feeling any lingering effects from an appendectomy that kept him off the mound for about a month.
He didn't look his best in his last outing, against the A's, when he allowed seven runs off seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. He labored through an eight-run fifth inning.
"Left some balls up, we didn't play defense and that's what happens. It unraveled," Vargas said. "Just as a whole, we weren't good in the fifth inning. That's what it comes down to."
Vargas is 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA in two career starts against San Francisco.
The Royals have been hot against the National League this year, posting a 10-4 record entering their penultimate Interleague series. The Giants are 7-5 against American League teams.
Giants: Club has decision to make with Bumgarner
Manager Bruce Bochy will have a tough call to make Friday as the Giants play under the AL's rules in Kansas City.
Should he let Bumgarner bat instead of a designated hitter?
For most clubs, the decision would be automatic, but it becomes difficult when there's a pitcher with a knack for hitting the occasional homer, like Bumgarner. In just 49 at-bats. the right-handed-hitting Bumgarner has three home runs, including a pair of grand slams.
If Bochy decides to take the bat out of Bumgarner's hands, it's likely that Michael Morse would serve as the DH.
Royals: No concern about short bench
After three games at Arizona under National League rules, the Royals return home for more Interleague Play. This time, though, the games will be played under AL rules with a short bench.
Kansas City operated with four bench players at Arizona, but with the designated hitter back in the lineup, they'll be down to three on Friday night against the Giants. Unless, of course, they make a move.
The Royals are carrying 13 pitchers instead of the usual 12. Add the nine players in the lineup and there are three position players left including backup catcher Erik Kratz.
"We'll go like we always go, just manage it day to day," manager Ned Yost said. "If you bring up another bench player, somebody's got to go. What moves do we have to make?"
Indeed, there are no longer easily shipped-out pitchers on the roster -- no Michael Mariot or Louis Coleman, for example. Those spots have been filled by veterans such as Jason Frasor and Scott Downs.
With deals now possible after players clear waivers, something could happen to add a bench player, but Yost is not concerned.
"In case you haven't noticed, we've been doing pretty good with what we've got," he said.
Worth noting
• Kansas City leads the all-time series, 6-3.
• Before his Aug. 3 shutout against the Mets, Bumgarner had not recorded double-digit strikeouts in 12 starts. Before that, he notched 10 during two straight contests (May 25 vs. Minnesota and May 30 at St. Louis).

DENVER (AP) — Kenneth Faried didn't wait for the All-Star dunk contest to put on a big show.
The Denver Nuggets' second-year star celebrated his invitation to the league's annual slam dunk contest with a series of rim-rattling, crowd-pleasing jams that set the tone for the Nuggets' eighth straight win, a 128-96 rout of the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night.
Faried finished with 21 points and 12 rebounds in 26 minutes as the Nuggets won for the 15th time in 18 games since Jan. 1, playing from the opening tip with an intensity that seemed to take the Bulls by surprise.
DUNK CONTEST: What are Faried's chances? We handicap it
BOX SCORE: Nuggets 128, Bulls 96
He had 17 points and eight boards on the break and was on the bench by the fourth quarter along with the rest of Denver's starters as they relished what had become a laugher.
Wilson Chandler added a season-high 24 points, sinking all five of his 3-pointers, as the Nuggets made quick work of a stingy Bulls team that came in yielding just 91 points a game but watched Denver pour in 100 by the time the third quarter was over.
"Wilson and Kenneth, what an incredible performance," Denver coach George Karl said. "That's 45 points on 19 shots. I'll take that every night."
Faried said he was more inspired by the television cameras at the Pepsi Center on this night than the chance to be in the spotlight during the All-Star weekend. He said he feels nobody's noticing the Nuggets as they round into shape following a tough start to the season in which they played 17 of their first 23 on the road, something no NBA team had endured in more than a quarter century.
"I came out with a mindset tonight just to dominate," Faried said. "I just wanted to come out and make a statement and Wilson came out and did the same thing. Our team did the same thing, wanted to come out and make a statement in a nationally televised game. We did what we had to do tonight.
JaVale McGee put on his own slam-and-jam show, adding 10 points for the Nuggets, who haven't lost since Jan. 18 and led this one by as many as 35 points.
The Nuggets' 128 points was their highest output of the season and also the most points allowed by the Bulls this season, surpassing the 120 that Houston had on Dec. 25 — it also marks the most an opponent scored during Tom Thibodeau's three years as the Bulls' coach.
NBA: Rockets' White fights for mental health
"I think today we made a statement on TNT," Faried said, "and showed everybody hey, notice us, pay attention. We're out here trying to do our best and we're out here trying to set records."
Carlos Boozer led Chicago's starters with 18 points. The Bulls again were without starting guards Derrick Rose (left knee) and Kirk Hinrich (right elbow). Center Joakim Noah (right foot) returned to the lineup, but was held to just one bucket and five rebounds. Reserve Daequan Cook led the Bulls with 19 points.
"Yeah, they're short-handed, they're down a couple of guys," Karl said, unable to avoid a smile as he perused the Nuggets' best stat sheet of the season. "You know, we did what we had to do and it was fun watching the dunks and the 3-ball going in and the defensive energy and Kenneth bouncing around."
Faried learned before the game he had been selected to take part in the slam dunk competition during All-Star festivities in Houston on Feb. 16.
"I mean, I'm ecstatic about it, happy to go out there and showcase what I can do and excite the fans," Faried said before going out and nearly hitting a double-double by the time the Nuggets went to the locker room with a 63-58 halftime lead.
His biggest dunk in the first half came on the break when Ty Lawson's layup rimmed out and he timed it perfectly to throw down the follow-up. But his best one came in the third quarter when Lawson stripped Noah and flipped the ball to Faried for the fast-break bucket that gave Denver an 80-64 cushion.
Moments later, Faried tied up Noah on his way to the basket, part of a stellar defensive effort during a 28-6 spurt that allowed the Nuggets to coast to their seventh straight win at the Pepsi Center.
"It was an offensive game in the first half. They came out the third quarter and just smoked us," Thibodeau said. "They played very good defense. They got 37 in the third, got a big cushion, and that was the game."
With the game out of hand at 100-74 after three quarters, Lawson was the only starter for either team to log any minutes in the fourth quarter and he took a seat after just two minutes.
Lawson finished with 16 points and 12 assists and the Nuggets were an astonishing plus-40 when he was on the court.
"It was fun, everybody was into it," Faried said. "I mean, it was a hell of a night."
