Water Vapor Major Player In Climate Change
Water vapor is known to be Earth's most abundant greenhouse gas, but the extent of its contribution to global warming has been debated. Using recent NASA satellite data, researchers have estimated more precisely than ever the heat-trapping effect of water in the air, validating the role of the gas as a critical component of climate change.
Andrew Dessler and colleagues from Texas A&M University in College Station confirmed that the heat-amplifying effect of water vapor is potent enough to double the climate warming caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
With new observations, the scientists confirmed experimentally what existing climate models had anticipated theoretically. The research team used novel data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on NASA's Aqua satellite to measure precisely the humidity throughout the lowest 10 miles of the atmosphere. That information was combined with global observations of shifts in temperature, allowing researchers to build a comprehensive picture of the interplay between water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other atmosphere-warming gases. The NASA-funded research was published recently in the American Geophysical Union's Geophysical Research Letters.
"Everyone agrees that if you add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, then warming will result," Dessler said. "So the real question is, how much warming?"
The answer can be found by estimating the magnitude of water vapor feedback. Increasing water vapor leads to warmer temperatures, which causes more water vapor to be absorbed into the air. Warming and water absorption increase in a spiraling cycle.
Water vapor feedback can also amplify the warming effect of other greenhouse gases, such that the warming brought about by increased carbon dioxide allows more water vapor to enter the atmosphere.
"The difference in an atmosphere with a strong water vapor feedback and one with a weak feedback is enormous," Dessler said.
Climate models have estimated the strength of water vapor feedback, but until now the record of water vapor data was not sophisticated enough to provide a comprehensive view of at how water vapor responds to changes in Earth's surface temperature. That's because instruments on the ground and previous space-based could not measure water vapor at all altitudes in Earth's troposphere — the layer of the atmosphere that extends from Earth's surface to about 10 miles in altitude.
AIRS is the first instrument to distinguish differences in the amount of water vapor at all altitudes within the troposphere. Using data from AIRS, the team observed how atmospheric water vapor reacted to shifts in surface temperatures between 2003 and 2008. By determining how humidity changed with surface temperature, the team could compute the average global strength of the water vapor feedback.
"This new data set shows that as surface temperature increases, so does atmospheric humidity," Dessler said. "Dumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere makes the atmosphere more humid. And since water vapor is itself a greenhouse gas, the increase in humidity amplifies the warming from carbon dioxide."
Specifically, the team found that if Earth warms 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, the associated increase in water vapor will trap an extra 2 Watts of energy per square meter (about 11 square feet).
"That number may not sound like much, but add up all of that energy over the entire Earth surface and you find that water vapor is trapping a lot of energy," Dessler said. "We now think the water vapor feedback is extraordinarily strong, capable of doubling the warming due to carbon dioxide alone."
Because the new precise observations agree with existing assessments of water vapor's impact, researchers are more confident than ever in model predictions that Earth's leading greenhouse gas will contribute to a temperature rise of a few degrees by the end of the century.
"This study confirms that what was predicted by the models is really happening in the atmosphere," said Eric Fetzer, an atmospheric scientist who works with AIRS data at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "Water vapor is the big player in the atmosphere as far as climate is concerned."

Washington Nationals +128
The Nationals lost last night, to today's opponent the Cardinals , but have proved to be resilient of late bouncing back 6 straight times after a negative result. Washington has also played well on the road winning 6 of their L/7 as visitors and are a bankroll expanding 11-2 in their L/13 game 2 series tilts. It must also be noted that when their starter Gonzalez starts for them on the road the team has a 23-8 L/31 moneyline record. The Nationals have recently backed Gonzalez with alot of run support, scoring a combined 45 runs in his L/6 starts.He has done his part to, as is evident by recording 4-1 record along with a 1.87 ERA over his L/ 33 2/3 innings of work. Meanwhile, the Cards have lost 4 of their L/5 at home as favorites when their starter Wachas goes to the hill. The 22 yr old in his last start was smashed for four runs and 12 hits in 4 2/3 innings, and has looked vulnerable despite of some over powering stuff.

Justin Bay
Toronto Blue Jays +1½ -140
Todd Redmond will be taking the mound for the Blue Jays in this game versus the Orioles who have put themselves out of the playoff race in the last month. Redmond has had pretty good success against the O's this season with a 3.48 ERA through 10.1 innings. In the month of September, he has been very solid with a 2.45 ERA through 18.1 IP. Redmond is coming off a solid outing against the Yankees going seven innings and letting up only one earned run.
Chris Tillman will be on the bump for the Orioles and he has had fairly good success against the Jays this season with a 3.86 ERA through 25.2 innings. Tillman has struggled a bit at home with a 4.07 ERA and in the month of September he has a 4.28 ERA.
The Orioles have been struggling this month and played themselves right out of the playoff race unless a couple teams do a lot of losing in the next week. After losing to the Rays yesterday and Machado done for the season, the Orioles might come into this game a little flat. The Blue Jays are a very dangerous team that runs under the radar and can put up a lot of runs very quickly. Look for the Blue Jays to cover this 1.5 run spread.

San Francisco Giants -117
The visitors will send Hyun-Jin Ryu (13-7, 3.03 ERA) to the hill at AT&T Park in San Francisco. Ryu allowed two runs on only two hits over eight innings in his last start, a loss against the Diamondbacks. Ryu is 1-2 with a 2.81 ERA in four starts against San Francisco, allowing three runs over 13 1/3 innings to help the Dodgers win his last two meetings. Note that Ryu has lost four of his last five starts. The Giants will counter with Matt Cain (8-9, 4.06 ERA). Cain gave up no earned runs over 7 2/3 innings before the bullpen blew the lead in his last start versus the Mets. Cain was effective in his most recent meeting with the Dodgers when he allowed one earned run over seven innings in a 3-2, 10-inning loss in Los Angeles on Sept. 12. San Francisco has won six of its last ten games while LA is just 4-6 in the last ten. The Giants have also won four of six meetings in San Fran this season. Lay the little extra juice to get San Francisco.

Doug Upstone
San Diego Padres -111
Padres starter Tyson Ross hasn't won a game at home all season long but that is about to change. He has an ERA of 2.18 at Petco this season, far too good to not have scored a victory to date. Ross and the Padres are looking to finish strong and took the opener of the series last night. I am sure he and the team are aware of the oddity of his home record and break through this evening in an otherwise meaningless game.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Tuesday, September 24
Nick Parsons
Cleveland Indians -1½ -109
I released a "run-line" play on the Rangers last night and they'd go on to smoke the Astros 12-0.
That means that Texas sits just one game behind the Indians for the lead in the AL wild-card race.
With what I believe is the clearly superior starter in this particular matchup, and with a ton of motivational factors working in its favor, I believe the table is set for the home side to win convincingly.
Hector Santiago (4-9, 3.53 ERA)
Santiago had his last start skipped over, but the beleaguered southpaw is set to get go tonight; in his last outing he gave up three runs off six hits and three walks over just four innings in a 3-1 loss to the Indians on Friday.
The 25-year old has now given up a combined nine runs over his last three starts.
Ubaldo Jimenez (12-9, 3.49 ERA)
Jimenez struck out nine Astros on Thursday, ultimately giving up one earned run off six scattered hits with no walks in seven innings of work. Unfortunately the veteran was saddled with a no-decision for his superb effort.
The big right-hander has now posted eight K's or more in six of his last seven starts and has held his opposition to just a total of two earned runs over his last 28 1/3's frames of work.
The Bottom Line
The Tribe have dominated this series, winning 15 of the last 17. Cleveland has averaged a whopping 7.5 runs and hit .318 during 12 consecutive victories over the White Sox.
Chicago is coming off satisfying back-to-back victories over Toronto, but note that it's not won three-straight since mid August.
With such overall dominance vs. the White Sox, it comes as no surprise to learn that several of the Indians' hitters have feasted on their starting pitching; Nick Swisher has five home runs and 12 RBIs vs. them this season; Ryan Raburn is hitting .381 with four home runs and 18 RBIs; Jason Kipnis and Asdrubal Cabrera each have driven in 11 runs; Yan Gomes is hitting .378; Carlos Santana is batting .362.
Enough said.
Consider laying the 1.5 runs for the near pick-em price.

Rob Vinciletti
Boston Red Sox -143
Boston fits a 90% system that has cashed 9 of 10 times this season and plays on road favorites off a home favored win by 2 or more runs if they scored 5 or more runs and their opponent is off a home loss. Colorado has lost 16 of 18 at home vs American League teams and 26 of 36 after allowing 10 or more runs in their last game. Boston is 9-3 as a road favorite from -125 to -150 and has won 20 of the last 28 vs losing teams and 14 of 20 in September. We will back the Redsox and J. Lackey over Colorado and T. Chatwood in this one as Boston has the better team.

Washington Nationals at St. Louis Cardinals
Pick: Washington Nationals
Your free play for Tuesday, September 24th comes in National League action as the Nationals and Cardinals meet in St. Louis. Washington is hot at the right time, 24-8 in their last 32 overall. They have a strong lefty going in Gio Gonzalez (10-7, 3.40 ERA) who has struck out 183 in 182+ innings and allowed just 156 hits. Gonzalez held the Marlins to two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three in six inning, and the win was his fourth in his last five starts. He is 2-1 with a 2.18 ERA his last three starts. The Nationals are 20-8 in their last 28 games vs. a right-handed starter while the Cardinals are 2-5 in their last 7 home games vs. a left-handed starter.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Tuesday, September 24
Bryan Power
NY Mets vs. Cincinnati
Pick: Cincinnati
Though the Reds overall numbers vs. lefties are a bit troublesome, they are still in the midst of a pennant race + they are a perfect 4-0 this season vs. the Mets. They shouldn't need many runs Tuesday considering Mike Leake is on the hill as he's working on a 13+ inning scoreless streak....
The Reds have won six of their last seven overall following Monday's 3-2 win in extra innings. As I said above, they are now 4-0 vs. the Mets this year & tonight's pitching matchup certainly seems to be in their favor with Leake opposing Jonathan Niese. Leake has a 0.84 ERA and 0.937 WHIP his last three starts overall, all of those outings resulting in Cincinnati victories. Niese, meanwhile, has a 5.66 ERA and 1.743 WHIP on the road. Leake has had the Mets number as well, with a 4-1 team start record, 1.31 ERA and 0.956 WHIP. Niese has a 1-4 TSR all-time vs. the Reds.
Leake has faced the Mets one time this year, back in May, and there he threw seven scoreless innings of three-hit ball. He beat Niese that day 4-0. Leake is also coming off B2B scoreless outings, including a 10-0 victory his last time out. The Reds offense has also been far more reliable of late than that of the Mets.

Tampa Bay vs. NY Yankees
Pick: Under
The Rays came from behind to beat the Orioles yesterday 5-4. Foortunately, I had Baltimore on the run line, meaning I won +1.5. Things will get no easier for Tampa Bay Tuesday as they open a series in the Bronx. With a pitching matchup of Matt Moore vs. Hiroki Kuroda, I like the under.
Here are my keys to the game
1. Matt Moore - He has been spectacular on the road this year with an 8-1 record (12-2 TSR) in 14 starts with a 2.76 ERA and 1.227 WHIP. He comes in off a rough outing at home vs. Texas, but look for him to bounce back here against a Yankees lineup averaging just 2.9 runs over its last seven games.
2. Hiroki Kuroda - As good as Moore has been on the road, Kuroda has been even better at home. He has a 1.97 ERA and 1.008 WHIP in 13 starts at Yankees Stadium with the Under going 8-4-1. Overall, the Under is 20-8-3 in his 31 starts this season, including 13-2 if the Yankees are off a loss. The Under is 11-3 when he starts as an underdog.
3. X-Factor - The Rays are 20-10 Under in division road games.

NY Mets vs. Cincinnati
Pick: Cincinnati -1.5
The Reds are back into the playoffs but that is not enough for them in this last week, as they would like to collar the Cardinals for the NL Central crown if possible, or at the least pull ahead of the Pirates to host the one-game wild card playoff next week. Facing the lowly Mets is a plus for tonight, as is starter Mike Leake, who has been dominant of late, winning three straight starts behind a 0.84 ERA with a career-high 20 1/3 scoreless innings. Meanwhile, Mets starter Jonathon Niese is 1-3 with a 4.55 ERA in five lifetime starts vs. Cincy.

Los Angeles Angels +112
The Oakland A's have clinched the division, and they made a pitching change prior to today's game sending A.J. Griffin to the mound. It is hard not to like a home team like the Angels when they are facing an opponent that is already thinking about the post season. The Angels have a .271 batting average at home, and over their past seven games they have scored an average of 4.9 runs per game. They are clearly a team that is not giving up on the year yet.
The starting pitcher matchup also favors Los Angeles in this game. A.J. Griffin has a 4.07 ERA on the road this season. In his last trip to Anaheim, Griffin was a 4-1 loser, giving up four runs and three homers in just five innings pitched. He is up against Jason Vargas for the Angels. Vargas has been solid at home, posting a 5-2 record in 11 starts and a 3.73 ERA. Oakland is 2-6 in Griffin's last eight starts against AL West opponents, and facing an Angels team that is 10-4 in their last 14 games after scoring five runs or more in their previous game.

Colorado Rockies +133
The Red Sox have already clinched the American League East but they still have something to play for and that is the best overall record in the American League. Establishing that would earn them a playoff matchup with the Wild Card winner. Boston finished its final homestand of the season with a 6-3 record which locked up the best home record in the American League and while it has been solid on the road, it hasn't been nearly as strong. Speaking of strong, that is what John Lackey was in his last start as he allowed just one run on two hits in a complete game win over the Orioles. It snapped a string of two straight non-quality starts where he allowed 11 runs in 12 innings, one of which came on the road. At home, Lackey has a 2.47 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 13 starts, going 6-3 but on the road he is just 4-9 with a 4.39 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in 15 starts. The Red Sox are 5-10 in those games and have scored just 3.3 rpg behind him. Additionally, the Red Sox are 2-5 in Lackey's last seven starts following a quality outing in his last start. The Rockies are 3-4 on this current homestand with two games remaining so finishing strong is the goal in what was a very disappointing season. Playing home has been the strength as Colorado is 44-35 compared to a dismal 27-51 record on the road. The Rockies have recently played very well against the top teams in baseball as they are 7-0 in their last seven games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. They send Tyler Chatwood to the mound and he has quietly put together a pretty solid season, posting a 3.36 ERA over his 19 starts. He has not been at his best since re-entering the rotation following a stint on the disabled list bit the Rockies are 5-1 in his last six home starts against teams with a winning record while going 6-2 in his last eight starts as a home underdog.

San Diego Padres -108
The Padres have continued to play well down the stretch, despite having absolutely no shot at a making the playoffs. San Diego is a respectable 13-8 in the month of September and have won 6 of their last 9 overall and 7 of their last 10 at home. The Padres opened up their 4-game series against the Diamondbacks with a 4-1 victory on Monday and are now 6-1 at home vs the Diamondbacks this season.
I look for the dominance to continue with a very favorable pitching matchup tonight. San Diego will send out Tyson Ross, who despite a 3-5 record has pitched exceptionally well. Ross has a 3.15 ERA and 1.112 WHIP over 14 starts and an even better 2.84 ERA and 1.011 WHIP in five starts at Petco Park. He's allowed just 4 earned runs on 10 hits over 14 innings in his two career starts vs Arizona.
The Diamondbacks counter with Wade Miley, who is 10-10 with a respectable 3.75 ERA in 31 starts. However, Miley can't be looking forward to this matchup. He's 1-6 with a 5.96 ERA in eight career starts vs the Padres and 0-4 with a 5.82 ERA against San Diego this season. A big reason for that is the Padres have thrived against left handed starters, as they are hitting .255 with an average of 4.3 runs/game. That's well above their season averages of .243 and 3.7.

Cleveland Indians -1½ -108
Needing to win to stay a game ahead of the Rangers in the AL wild-card race, Cleveland won't overlook a Chicago club it has defeated 12 consecutive times. These wins have come by an average of 4.3 runs while the Indians have averaged 7.5 runs and batted .318. Cleveland is in good hands with Ubaldo Jimenez set to get the ball. The right-hander has a 1.65 ERA over his last 10 starts. The Tribe has won his last four starts while the Sox have dropped Hector Santiago's last three starts. The White Sox have lost both of Santiago's starts against the Indians this year while Cleveland has won both of Jimenez's starts against Chicago this season. Take Cleveland on the run line.

San Diego Padres -111
Padres starter Tyson Ross hasn't won a game at home all season long but that is about to change. He has an ERA of 2.18 at Petco this season, far too good to not have scored a victory to date. Ross and the Padres are looking to finish strong and took the opener of the series last night. I am sure he and the team are aware of the oddity of his home record and break through this evening in an otherwise meaningless game.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Tuesday, September 24
MIAMI -110 over Philadelphia
The Phillies are another one of those teams that can't get this season over quick enough. Philadelphia has dropped five in a row. They are finished playing at home this season now must play in an empty stadium with no atmosphere. The Phillies dropped the opener last night, 4-0. They had short AB's and quick half innings at the plate. The Phillies epitomize the term, "playing out the string". Zach Miner has made one start and 13 relief appearances this season. He's not likely to go past four innings here because he does not have the stamina to do so. In just 22 innings over 14 appearances, Miner has walked 12 batters. That's when he's been called in to face one or two batters. In relief, Miner has an xERA of 6.02 and he also brings a 1.52 WHIP to the table. If the Phillies were playing any other team besides Miami or Houston, Miner would be a +170 pooch. We get the benefit of that value here by playing the favorite.
Miami is not as bad as you might think. This team will not be a pushover next season. They have the potential of an outstanding starting staff with Jose Fernandez, Nathan Eovaldi and tonight's starter, Henderson Alvarez. Alvarez comes in with a 4-5 record in 15 starts to go along with a serviceable 4.05 ERA. However, a look under the hood shows the seeds of something good. Alvarez owns good velocity and a very nice groundball tilt (58% of his last five starts). He'll need to find more strikeouts to take a sustained step forward but there are elements in his pitch mix that suggest he can do so. Get this; Alvarez has allowed a measly four extra-base hits in 400+ times he has thrown his four-seam fastball, slider, and change-up. Alvarez can pitch and is a very cheap price against Zach Miner and a Phillies team that just wants to go home.
SAN DIEGO -108 over Arizona
The D-Backs are likely spent. After a huge four-game series against the Dodgers followed by a trip to the thin air in Colorado, Arizona came in here last night and dropped a 4-1 decision. They have three more games here before closing out the season at home against the Nationals, making these final three road games of the season difficult to get up for. To make matters worse, Arizona must now face Tyler Ross. Ross is at home in PETCO Park, which suppresses runs by 10% and LHB HRs by 15%. Since joining the rotation July 23, all four of his home starts have been pure quality. Ross has a 2.58 xERA, 10.5 k's per nine and a 60% groundball rate over 26 IP over his past five starts. The D-backs are 15th in runs scored and are just 35-42 on the road. This is not a favorable matchup, nor a favorable spot.
Wade Miley has labored through the past month. The D-Backs have lost five of his past six starts and he's been hit hard in many of them. Miley has never pitched as many innings as he's pitched this season and one of the signs of fatigue is issuing free passes. He walked four in his last start in five innings and we've also seen a dip in his groundball rate from a solid 52% over his first 23 starts to just 38% over his last eight starts. Miley's WHIP has also increased to an unacceptable level of 1.52 over his past five starts. We get the better pitcher in much better form, we also get the home side in the final week of the season and we get to spot less than a dime in a favorable situation. That works.
Milwaukee +134 over ATLANTA
Of all the post-season teams, the Braves seem the most disengaged at the moment and that makes them and Freddy Garcia a very sweet fade here. The Braves were 3-hit last night in a 5-0 loss. They've lost two of three and five of eight while being shut out in three of those five losses. Garcia will fill in here but come playoff time, you won't see him anywhere near the mound. Garcia's 1.31 ERA in two starts makes him grossly overpriced here but in actuality, that ERA is laughable and just proves how luck plays a huge factor in small sample sizes. Garcia's line drive rate in those two starts is 37% (league average is 21%) and his has a 90% strand rate (league average is 72%). Garcia is a 37-year-old, washed up, two-pitch pitcher, one of which is an 87-MPH fastball. He does not possess the stuff to get major-league hitters out with regularity. The Brewers are going good right now and figure to put up some runs here.
Tyler Thornburg was unceremoniously welcomed with 4 HR's in his MLB debut. Three more went yard in next two games but work in minors suggests more hr/f fluke than chronic issue. On plus side, Thornburg showed ability to carry his good strikeout rate to the majors and he's been very good in his past three starts with a 2-1 record and a skills supported 2.00 ERA over 18 frames. Bullpen may be home long term, but intriguing enough to keep an eye on and certainly worth a wager against the Braves and Garcia.

Boston Red Sox at Colorado Rockies
Prediction: Colorado Rockies
Solid line value backing the Rockies at home tonight against Boston, with the Red Sox already securing the AL East crown but starting a poor road pitcher in John Lakcey who has lost ten of his 15 road starts this season. Colorado's Tyler Chatwood has been decent at home with a winning 4-2 record and 6-4 team start record, but more impressively has kept his ERA under 4 in the hitter-friendly Colorado ballpark. Lackey's lone career trip to Colorado didn't go so well, giving up five runs in 6 2/3 IP in a no-decision but team loss. Grab the line value wiht the Rockies here.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Tuesday, September 24
Sean Murphy
Boston vs. Colorado
Pick: Colorado
This game is being priced as if the Red Sox are fighting for their playoff lives, but that simply isn't the case.
Having wrapped up the A.L. East title in their weekend series against Toronto, I look for the BoSox to suffer a bit of a letdown in Tuesday's series opener in Colorado.
While the Rockies are mired in another losing season, they've been a force at home - as usual. Colorado is a solid 44-35 at Coors Field this season and enters Tuesday's contest playing good baseball, securing six wins in its last nine games.
John Lackey will take the ball for the Red Sox. He's posted a nice 3.44 ERA this season, but that hasn't kept him from recording a losing record at 10-12. Note that the Red Sox are a miserable 5-10 in his 15 road starts this year, where his ERA has risen to 4.39. Coming off a complete game victory over the Orioles last week, I'm counting on a letdown from Lackey in this spot.
Tyler Chatwood will counter for Colorado. He's endured an up and down season, but has pitched relatively well here at home, going 4-2 with a 3.95 ERA. The Rockies have certainly brought out the bats in Chatwood's home outings, providing him with over six runs per start of support.
The Rockies are simply tearing the cover off of the ball right now, averaging just under five runs per nine innings while hitting .317 as a team over their last 10 contests. Home field should be the great equalizer on Tuesday night, as Colorado shows some pride and pulls off the minor upset.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Steffs Love to have it in every color! Perfect fabric! Perfect model.. Bit oversized, but I expected that already so sized down and now it is great (also for small girls). The sleeves and neckline work really good. Altough it's basic, the fit is fantastic and you can combine it with whatever you want! My favourite combination: with a pinstripe bootcut trousers and a dark blazer for work.. or a jeans(short) for a casual look. 10.12.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Icecreamuscream Nice Tee It looks whiter in the picture, but it is really Ivory as confirmed. Runs larger than I thought. I usually take an L cause I love oversized tees but this time I took an M an it still runs really large. Really nice with skinny pants/jeans. 10.11.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rumnroses Perfect Casual top This top is great, I ordered my usual size and I tie it in a knot on the side. Perfect with jeans or a long skirt. Extremely soft material, fits just like the pictures show. Highly recommended! 10.7.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by eleanne nice material This shirt in the ivory color is my second for this tee. Interestingly, the fabric is thicker that the one I ordered previously. Also to note: there are tinges of yellow in it. Overall though it is truly a "Keep Me Tee" :) 10.1.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lindzMT Oooh lala! This shirt is amaazzinngg!!!! I want it in every color!! I got the black (washed look) and it's lovely. Great color for pretty much any pair of pants and jacket I choose to wear it with. It's made of a nice, thicker material then I had imagined so that was a definite plus when I received it. True to size. Although, a bit "wide" or big.... But that's the look/style I'm sure FP was going for. Love it!! Recommend for sure. :) 9.13.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Michellerrific My favorite tee This t-shirt is so comfortable and by far my favorite. I have the white one and then another with blue stripes. I want to buy more.... 9.13.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by abagael perfect! I absolutely love this top! I got a medium which is what I usually wear in fp, and while I think I could have sized down, it's not so big that its overtaking me. It is a little long but I like it that way so that I can wear it with leggings. The material is extremely soft and so comfortable! I highly recommend this! 9.6.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Austinite Best tee ever! I absolutely love this tee in fact I have all the colors. I normally wear a small but in is one, I have bought mostly smalls and one XS. The only difference between them is the XS's sleeves are a tiny bit tighter but nothing too bad. They fit everywhere else is basically the same. I usually tie it up because it is so boxy and by doing this, it shows more of my figure. But either way, it's the most comfortable tee I have ever owned! 9.5.2012

Just ahead of the auction for broadband wireless access (BWA) spectrum, the WiMAX Forum on Thursday said the industry was ready for roll out of advanced WiMAX networks in India that would help the Centre meet its goal of providing over 10-crore broadband connections by 2014.
"WiMAX operators are providing an unprecedented amount of data, with some networks delivering over 10 gigabytes a month to the average user. WiMAX is the only 4G technology available today that is two to five times cheaper than existing technologies, 10-times more scalable to meet future demands and can be accessed across various devices. With over 65-crore users worldwide, it is ready for deployment in India," WiMAX Forum India Chairman C.S. Rao told journalists here.
The Forum is an industry-led, not-for-profit organisation formed to certify and promote the compatibility and interoperability of broadband wireless products.
The WiMAX Forum also launched a global initiative to accelerate advanced WiMAX features in response to the intensifying demand for 4G WiMAX networks and services.

Daily Update: Moseley's shoulder raises questions; notes, minors
Can a pitcher start in the National League if he can't swing a bat?
We don't mean hit, but the physical exercise of swinging the bat.
For the second time in seven weeks, the left shoulder of Padres right-hander Dustin Moseley temporarily and partially dislocated Tuesday night as he was swinging a bat at the plate.
Apparently, the weight of the bat and the force of the swing combine to play on existing weakness in Moseley's left shoulder. Moseley says the shoulder has popped out of the socket before. But twice in seven weeks raises concerns and questions.
Have the two recent incidents further weakened a weak shoulder? Could the dislocations increase in frequency the more he swings a bat? If that is true, could that doom Moseley's future as a starting pitcher in the National League?
"I can't swing," said Moseley. "As much as I want to, I can't."
And National League pitchers swing the bat. But American League pitchers do not. Might Moseley, who has a 3.30 ERA as a Padre despite a 3-10 record, be better served by a return to the American League, where he spent his first three-plus seasons before signing with the Padres last winter?
Before Tuesday's full swing, Moseley had been bunting and taking half swings against National League teams since the first incident. In two of his seven starts since the first incident, Moseley didn't hit because the Padres were playing in American League parks in interleague games.
The Daily Five (Notes, Stats and Numbers)
--RHP Pat Neshek returned from Triple-A Tucson Tuesday to replace Ernesto Frieri on the active roster when Frieri returned to his native Colombia on paternity leave. But Neshek's return didn't go as hoped. He walked four Diamondbacks in one inning to force in a run.
--LHP Clayton Richard played catch Tuesday, but Padres manager Bud Black said he is not close to returning to the rotation. When Richard went on the disabled list after his July 4 start, the Padres expected he would return just after the All-Star break. He has already missed three or four starts.
--CF Cameron Maybin returned to the starting lineup Tuesday after missing one start with a strained left hip flexor. But he went 0-for-4 to end his 10-game hitting streak and six-game stolen base streak.
--1B Jesus Guzman had a homer and a single off Arizona starter Joe Saunders Tuesday night at Petco Park. Guzman is hitting .381 (16-for-42) against left-handed pitchers since being recalled from Tucson on June 16.
--1B Anthony Rizzo is 7-for-9 with two homers and seven RBI the past two nights with Triple-A Tucson.
Minor League Report
Triple-A Tucson (49-54): Colorado Springs 6, PADRES 5 – RHP Samuel Deduno (3-3, 4.18 ERA) allowed six runs on 12 hits in six innings. In addition to Rizzo, RF Aaron Cunningham (.329) had two doubles in four at-bats while Eric Patterson and Steve Tolleson both had two hits, including a double.
Double-A San Antonio (68-33, 19-12): CORPUS CHRISTI 11, Missions 1 – Starting RHP Casey Kelly (10-4, 4.29 ERA) allowed six runs on 10 hits in five innings. He walked two and struck out five.

Several Georgia players are pushing through "some nicks and bruises and things of that nature," Richt said after Friday's morning practice.
That was about as detailed as he went as far as injuries players may be dealing with.
Asked about tight end Jordan Davis, who missed his third straight day with an undisclosed injury, Richt would only say: "He's day to day." He nodded his head when asked if Davis indeed had an injury.
"There's some guys that may be missing a practice or two for whatever reason, but will be back soon," Richt said in general.
Georgia has not offered much in injury information since preseason practices began.
Defensive lineman Chris Mayes wasn't practicing Friday.
Inside linebacker Ramik Wilson was out for the fifth straight day while after sustaining what a teammate indicated is a concussion. Also out: linebacker Ryne Rankin and receiver Charlie Hegedus.
Practicing in non-contact jerseys were receivers Justin Scott-Wesley (knee) and Conley, cornerback Shattle Fenteng and tight end Jay Rome (foot).
"Right this minute we've got a No. 1 and No. 2 unit and a No. 3 unit," Richt said. "I don't know if we have a No. 4 unit anymore because of some bumps and bruises."

Governor Daugaard's Re-Election Bid
By Steve Zwemke
Governor Dennis Daugaard is seeking a second term. He'll face fellow Republican Lora Hubbel in South Dakota's June 3 primary election. The governor faced critical issues early in his first term including the Missouri River flood and a state budget on which Daugaard and the state legislature tightened the belt, eliminating a $127-million structural deficit. He continues to emphasize job creation, sound fiscal management and efficient government operation. The governor spoke with SDPB news producer Kealey Bultena last week.

"Reillys have quickly established a tradition of generosity with their wines. As a result, they've earned a strong base of followers ,especially for their 'R' series reds, with some previous vintages selling out in a matter of months. This is yet another ripper.
Matured in French oak for 18 months the wine pours a magnificent inky black colour with a very deep dark purple black hue. The nose offers up ripe black cherry and liquorice aromas followed by some blackberries, vanillin cedar and spice. Flamboyantly rich yet relatively tighter in structure than previous vintages the palate is flooded with ripe black cherries, blackberries and liquoirce flavours over a background of toasty vanillin oak, spices and pepper. Solid but quite polished tannins provide the framework. Excellent depth with a long lingering aftertaste of black cherries, liquorice, vanillin cedar and pepper. Fantastic value."

Beautiful color but not as pigmented as I hoped for the price. A comparable option is Bobbi Brown Pastel Pink or Pale Pink and they blend much more naturally on the skin.
The blush looks great on pale skin and medium skin but (in my opinion) should perform better for the price.

okay why is this shade not raved about?? its amazing!! I bought it like 4 days ago (my first ever NARS blush) and holy smokes im obsessed. The packaging firstly is adorable- so sleek and compact; very ideal for travelling and touch ups. In the pan its a very true barbie pink colour with a satin finish- which i quite like for this colour. If i had one tiny negetive is that i wish it was a bit more pigmented, but overall really easy to blend out for a soft wash of subtle pink. I think the price os fairly reasonable in Australia- $39rrp (mecca maxima) considering it used to be $45. In summary, a really beautiful, high qaulity blush with a subltle satin pink finish. I recommend it to all beginners or people with pale skin. Definite repurchase.

A year ago I lost my makeup bag while traveling. As you can imagine, I was super disappointed as I loved my stash. I decided to NOT buy the same items I already had in an effort to try new things and up my game. Two items in the lost bag were Bobbi Brown Pale Pink and Nars Desire - two of my favorite light pink blushes. In an effort to try something new I bought Gaiety. Well, I ended up returning it. No matter how many times and on different days I tried to get it to work, it never did work. There was just no color payoff for me in comparison with the two former products I had loved. I tried it again last night and it just did NOT show up. It's almost like Chanel's Narcisse - it's "sort of" there if you look really hard, but clearly based upon my love of Bobbi Brown's Pale Pink and Nars Desire, that is not my style. I was really hoping last night that I'd finally get it to work. When it didnt, and I had to go to my Chanel Turbulent which thankfully I had not lost in the makeup bag, I decided this was going back today. And back it went - I won't miss this product. I had wanted to like it but "there's no there there" and it was just taking up space in my new makeup bag. UPDATE: I bought Chanel vivacite (an LE product) in place of this and it's fan-ta-stic!!

One of my most favourite Nars blushes, love the staying powder and the fact that it can look so subtle or so intense...having NC15 skin and possibly paler in winter I go for the subtle approach.
I like to apply this with a stipple brush - very lightly and buff in and build up to the perfect flushed blush colour or application with a fan brush also works well for this blush. The colour does look scary bright (if you are pale) but comes off on the skin if used with a subtle hand as a pretty true pink.
I have a few Nars blushes and for some reason even though I use clean brushes everyday this developed a hard shiny film that I had to scrap off - maybe it got damp somewhere. It's fine now and has not done it again.
Love this enough that it would be a re-purchase.

I am ghastly white, and I have red tones in my skin. I work in a brightly lit hospital, so I always look super washed out. This blush perks up my face and the colour is gentle enough that I don't look like Jigsaw from the Saw movies. Don't let the look in the pan fool you -- offensive neon pink, very pigmented looking colour. It doesn't blend out this way when you apply it. Even if I seemingly put too much on my blush brush, it has a way of looking subtle yet present.. and like I said, I'm very pale. Wear it to your minimal makeup job and stack on a bit more and wear it out at night. Love it.

NARS blushes are my favourite, but I had always ignored this shade because it looked almost lavender in the pan and I usually prefer warmer colours. Luckily, I received this as a gift. Once applied it is the perfect baby pink. This may become my most-used blush. Try it on!

I always want to buy this blush, but every time I try it, it is wrong. And the sales people, they really hate the way it looks on me. For a pale blush, NARS Sex Fantasy is a better option for me, but that is LE at Nordies right now. Most NARS reps will push me more towards Desire. When I swatch Gaeity it looks lovely to me on my hand, but then a few minutes later, it starts to skew a bit peach. FYI - I am NW20 (pink), with almost black hair (3n), brown eyes, and have some subtle slight warm undertones too. I think Gaiety would work better on uber light people.

I love NARS blushes. I am pretty pale NC20 and can barely wear blush, except I can look really washed out if I don't. I have redness in all the wrong places (nose, sides of nose, under eyes) and that is tricky too, as blush can just bring your eye to the redness. Corals and rose blushes work well on me, but pinks have been hard to make work with. So this was the first that I really liked on me, but it's not that pink on. As others have noted, this can look a little peachy/pink on me. This one is matte. All these NARS blushes look so crazy bright in the pan, but very different on and different on different people. Dabbing on your hand or using your finger to dab on the cheek, gives a false idea. They need to be brushed on to tell. This is a very pale girl's blush!!!
These blushes last forever, which is almost too bad, as I feel I want an excuse to buy more, but am seriously glad they last. Packaging is great and easy to open. Brushes on like a dream. That is the best part. Most blushes it is such a fine line between can't see it and clown face. This does not go on blotchy, as Tarte's clay blushes can.
Update: Loving this more and more. It is a very, very, subtle effect, natural effect. If you want pop, this is the wrong shade. Gives a little glow. Doesn't look as pink as I expected. It is a very nice blush, but not as amazing as some of their others. Not a must have, but I am happy to have it.

Is it just me, or did the original design take up more overall space on the shirt?

The design was reprinted approx an inch smaller but it seems a lot more because this model is wearing a size Large tee and the older version is wearing a medium sized tee.

Congratulations Jefferson County on Improved Health Outcomes! Healthy behaviors are becoming the way of life for area residents of Jefferson County. Based on Overall Health Outcomes, Jefferson County ranked 10 out of 72 counties in 2015 according to the County Health Rankings, a collaboration between the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. The Rankings help counties recognize what influences the health of residents and how long they will live. In a matter of four years, Jefferson County has also moved from 44th to 12th based on the Health Behaviors category in the state of Wisconsin. The highlights of the efforts over the past few years are the decreases in adult obesity from 33% to 30% and physical inactivity from 19% to 17%. "County Health Rankings are a reflection of the efforts of the communities we serve and their dedication to improving lives" says Mike Wallace, President/CEO of Fort HealthCare, he continues "we should all be proud that, as a community, we saw the need to improve and have made great strides towards that accomplishment."
