-- Dragon Gate USA and EVOLVE booker Gabe Sapolsky, who has been critical of the ROH iPPV product in the past, had the following comments on yesterday's show via Facebook… "The more people who have a good experience with iPPV means the more people who are likely to buy it and support it from every company putting out an exciting and quality product. It is great to see this kind of improvement and only a positive."

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Jan A. Ryberg, MA, PT (University of Texas El Paso College of Health Sciences)
Description: This excellent introductory text reviews the principles of biomechanics, kinesiology, and functional anatomy as they relate to the movement of the human body.
Purpose: The stated purpose is to develop the student's understanding of the relationship between the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system. This objective is met through a well structured and clearly written text.
Audience: The author has published over 70 journal articles and four books in this area. He is also an advisory board member for two prestigious physical education journals. He has written this text primarily for undergraduate students in kinesiology, exercise science, sports science, and physical education. Students in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and podiatry will also find it useful.
Features: It is my opinion that the author has written an excellent introductory text. It is legibly written with extensive use of illustrations, conceptual models, and review questions to provide clarity.
Assessment: This text would be an excellent addition to the library of any health professional interested in exercise science or injury prevention. It is a nice adjunct to Enoka's Neuromechanical Basis of Kinesiology, 2nd Edition (Human Kinetics, Inc., 1994) and Norkin's Joint Structure and Function: A Comprehensive Analysis (FA Davis, 1992).

Jason Grilli to be the Pirates closer
Dec 26, 2012, 4:05 PM EDT
This seemed obvious, but perhaps the Pirates were taking the polite road and waiting for the Joel Hanrahan deal to Boston to become official before announcing it:
Neal Huntington confirms Jason Grilli will be the closer heading into spring training. Hopes Melancon can eventually develop like Hanrahan.
— Michael Sanserino (@msanserino) December 26, 2012
Grilli struck out 90 batters and posted a 2.91 ERA in 58 and two-thirds innings as the Pirates setup man last season, so he seems ready to handle ninth inning duties. If he falters, Pirates' new acquisition Mark Melancon — a year removed from a 2.78 ERA and 20 saves with the Astros — could theoretically step in.
- johngaltx - Dec 26, 2012 at 4:57 PM
Hopefully the Red Sox will tell "Hammertime" to shave off that Billy Goat beard he sports every year.
- quonce - Dec 26, 2012 at 7:07 PM
This kid struck me out in high school when I was a freshman. First time I ever saw 90. Great to see him still around.
- cowboysoldiertx - Dec 26, 2012 at 7:09 PM
Hope it pans out but I have a badddddddd feeling!
- codyodea - Dec 26, 2012 at 7:14 PM
This move has a huge impact on rounds 21-26 in all fantasy drafts.
- Minoring In Baseball - Dec 27, 2012 at 5:23 AM
If I'm remembering right, the Tigers gave up on this kid. Now he's closing, and they need a closer. Karma, maybe??
- bankboy2012 - Dec 28, 2012 at 4:55 AM
Grilli was 31 and a .500 pitcher with 4.31 ERA for Detroit when they traded him in 2008. He had zero saves to that point in his career and has added a staggering total of 5 since then. I'll grant you his last two years have been far superior to his career numbers, but it's hardly like they traded the second coming of Mariano Rivera. As it is he's closer by default while they try and straighten out Melancon's stuff. He'll be fine, but it's far from some karmic backhand to the Tigers for trading him away.

2012 developments
The U.S. Justice Department settled a lawsuit with Vermont over the state's delayed mailing of some absentee ballots, which was filed by the federal government. The U.S. Uniformed and Overseas Absentee Voting Act requires that those absentee ballots which are requested by voters be mailed out at least 45 days before an election. Due to a dispute over the Progressive Party's gubernatorial primary results, the completion of the general election ballot was delayed until September 30. This caused at least 191 of the 894 absentee ballots to be mailed late. As a result of the lawsuit, voters whose ballots were sent late had their receipt deadline extended by 10 days.[10]

'Twenty four mechanised boats are yet to reach shore near Edurumondi lighthouse '
Special teams comprising revenue and fisheries department officials have been deployed along the low-lying areas on the coastline in Krishna district to monitor the situation in the wake of Cyclone Phailin making landfall on Saturday evening near Kalingapatnam.
"Most of the boats operating along the coastline were anchored by Friday morning, but 24 mechanised boats are yet to reach shore near Edurumondi lighthouse in the Bay of Bengal," Fisheries Department Deputy Director T. Lavanyam told The Hindu. The fishermen from Nagayalanka and Avanigadda did not bother about the warning and ventured into the sea for fishing.
No guidelines
Krishna District Revenue Officer L. Vijaya Chander said that there was no need to evacuate the people in low-lying areas – Nagayalanka, Machilipatnam, Bantumilli and Kruthivennu.
"No guidelines were received from the State Government to evacuate people in Krishna district as the cyclone is likely to hit North Andhra Pradesh," he added.
Toll-free number
Control rooms were set up in the Tahisildar offices along the costal mandals. Grievances or any help during the cyclone can be received by calling the toll-free number '1700' and Collector's Office Control Room number 08672 -252572.
The Revenue Department issued a flood alert in Vijayawada division as the cyclone surged menacingly towards the coast threatening to bring heavy rain in the next couple of days.
The situation was assessed on Friday by Sub-Collector D. Harichandana in a meeting with the officers and staff concerned. The APNGOs suspended their agitation against bifurcation of the State keeping in view the safety of people living on the banks of river Krishna and island villages.
Control room
A control room with phone number 0866-2576217 has been set up in the Sub-Collector's office to deal with any contingency.
Weather in 15 mandals including Vijayawada city has been cold and the sky cloudy since morning and heavy rain is forecast for Saturday when 'Phailin' is expected to cross the Odisha coast by evening. Speaking to The Hindu, Ms. Harichandana said that there was no immediate threat but the situation could rapidly change for the worse.
Necessary steps were being taken to move people from low-lying areas to safety due to the imminent threat of flooding.
The Sub-Collector has been in touch with the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) contingent permanently stationed in Vijayawada.

Need recommendations for car rental agencies in Crete and Naxos
Report Abuse
MY advise is to rent only from the international well known companies and avoid local car rentals, no matter how tempting their offers can be.
Had many cases ( used to work as a rep for a german touroperator in my early 20s) where these companies overcharged people, especially after an accident.
or in other cases cars were crap and it took them ages to change the car or repair them, while people where waiting often in the middle of nowhere ( in Crete).
Depending on the places that you wanna visit in Chania, i would recommend a car category B with a/c ( i think all cars have a/c now). Crete is a huge island and category A might not be enough, especially if you want to go to remote places.
It should be better to make your booking before your trip to Greece, you may get a better price compared to the offers on the spot. ( and i always speak about international companies such as Hertz, Avis, National etc...
I use Avis when i travel abroad, found out they have the lowest rates, but i always compare in order to find the best offer... In Greece i think Avis and National have the lowest rates... with hertz Budget etc being on the more expensive side.

For our trip to Crete this summer, we booked with Anna Cars based on some recommendations from this board. There were also favourable reviews on line for them during our research. Of course, I won't know till summer how it goes, but I feel pretty confident based on the ease and flexibility of booking with them.
Report Abuse
From my personal experience I can suggest you to hire from Hertz or Pointcarhire as both of them have large fleet of cars. So you would have a large variety of cars to hire a car for yourself. Also they provide nice offers which will help you to ease load on your pocket.
Report Abuse
Point carhire has no car stations in Greece, as he is only selling through the internet, using the irish broker Cartrawler. If you book through point, you will get a confirmation for one of the international car rentals such as sixt, Europcar, national etc
Report Abuse
I dissagree with clausar in some points.
First, huge companies don't take your problem (if exist) personal, because thay have much reputation and lot of work waiting. Small companies, most times will be friently serve you, because they need customers, and rely building their reputation.
But you must be very carefoul what the price include and ask to rent a car up to 3 years old.
Hope to help you.

I booked with Anna Cars on Crete in April based on research on this board and others and it was a very good experience. My emails were answered promptly (and my questions were answered the first time I asked, which isn't always the case), the person dropped off the car at my hotel promptly, and it was a very nice, fairly new car. The price they quoted me was not the absolute cheapest I got, but it was competitive and all in all the experience was significantly better than when we rented through a large rental car company on the mainland.
Report Abuse
Go ahead and book with http://www.rental-center-crete.com ! the most reliable and competitive car rental company I have hired with. We got an upgrade too, booked a Peugeot 207 and got a Focus!!!
Report Abuse
Club Cars Crete http://www.clubcars.net/ is reliable and with reasonable rates, I have not heard any complaints about them.
and for naxos Auto Tour http://www.naxosrentacar.com/en/ has great rates for weekly rentals as well.
Report Abuse
In Naxos, which I've visited off season 11 times (may-June, September) we have always rented locally and just the day before using a car, and never never never had a problem. THere are 3 reliable car rental places right on the Naxos Town Square (I will never know why they call it a square, it's kind of a circle, with a fountain -- mainly dry -- in the middle). Just inquire in the car places, and take the one with the best price for the type of model you want. Don't over-engineer this task. You'll pay 30-35-40€ depending on insurance & get a nice newish car.
Report Abuse
I am looking for a car rental from 9/18 - 9/21, from Chania to Heraklion.
I contacted Anna cars about 2 weeks ago, and they told me they were completely booked! I also contacted Autoway, who responded quickly and said "no problem".
However, today I put in a request for that time and asked only that there be no obvious signage on the car (in another post, travelerjan mentioned that she had received one car with signage out of several rentals), and now "it's too short a rental time". I'm a bit perplexed and frustrated.
Anyone have a recommendation for a decent car rental place? I'm getting a little concerned now.

When driving in Crete, remember to look regularly on your mirrors, especially the side ones.
Cretan drivers tend to drive speedy, so try to accelerate, or stay at the right side of the road to let others overtake you.
If you want to rent a car in Crete, I recommend http://www.carantee.com. My brother hired a car from them and there provide excellent service, plus they have the best prices in the market.
Report Abuse
We were also looking for a rental car agency. We were six people including 2 children. The "international" agencies wanted to charge us for every single thing. I saw the comments above and we tried Anna Cars. They were brilliant. Much cheaper for similar size cars. We had full insurance, free child sits, and we were nit asked to pay anything until arrival. So we could have still switched last minute. But am glad we did not switch. They waited for us until midnight at arrivals (our flight was delayed), speedy service, we were in the road in 20 min. The car was brilliant, no problems at all and easy to drive even with six people and all the luggage. So thanks to those recommending Anna Cars above. I can only add to their recommendation.
