Sharlto Copley was transformed into the A.I. Chappie in Neill Blomkamps latest through what the actor referred to in the past as a poor mans motion capture. The means are both impressive and time consuming for everyone involved, and Copley has honored all the animators behind this transformation with a unique shoutout.
In preparation for Chappie, Hugh Jackman researched all he could about the insane technology that real-life scientists are developing. And as he says, It kinda blew my mind.
Fans will go to great lengths to prove their love for their obsessions, but celebrity and young-adult franchise fans might be the craziest of them all. Well, crazy might be too demeaning of a word. How about, overly enthusiastic? For Ben Barnes, the star of this weeks fantasy film release Seventh Son, he knows this to be true from firsthand experience.
Bridges' Seventh Son accent tickled me as I heard it leave his mouth. It became even more prominent as the film went on, since hes the only character in this entire fantasy landscape who has a heavy accent. He seemed all too happy to talk about it, and revealed some interesting details about how he created it
Both Julianne Moore and Jeff Bridges have been involved with young-adult adaptations in the past. However, both were strongly rooted in the world of sci-fi, while their new joint film, Seventh Son, branches into the realm of hardcore fantasy. As the two celebs told me over an interview, however, there are some similarities in their approach.
The thing about the Red Sea sequence is that it competes with several eye-popping visual events in the rest of the movie. Sir Ridley Scott embraces his epic blockbuster side when bringing the size and scope of the story of Moses to the big screen.
When you think Hellboy, you automatically think Ron Perlman, right? That wasn't the case with the studios who had the project in the beginning.
By the start of this third Hunger Games installment, Finnick has twice survived the deadly games put on by the Capitol to keep the Districts in line. For the first time since his reaping, he's out of the spotlight of President Snow, and it makes for a character that Sam Claflin compares to Marilyn Monroe.
For more than a decade, French director Alexandre Aja has been delivering scares, gore and occasionally, a bit of dark humor with films like The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha and more recently, the feature adaptation of Joe Hill's Horns. But how does being French impact his perspective when telling American horror stories?
Elisabeth Moss and Jason Schwartzman have known each other for years, as both grew up in Los Angeles. Yet despite bustling careers in film and television Listen Up Philip marks the first time they've ever worked together. I asked if their friendship and familiarity with each other made it easier to dig into the caustic arguments of their characters in the film.
Welcome to my nightmare. This is how Fury director David Ayer jokingly reacts to my initial question about filming an entire World War II drama involving tanks.
Love and lust are emotions that cover a lot of the same highs and lows among everyone who has ever felt them. According to Oscar-nominated animator Bill Plympton, they can also inspire a synapse-firing warzone. I had the pleasure of talking with Plympton about his newest eyeball-melting short Head Games, which was created for the recently-released anthology horror ABCs of Death 2.
As someone who read Gillian Flynns book prior to seeing Gone Girl, I can tell you that Fincher and his cast are smart enough to include clever nods and calculated asides to entertain those who know where the story is going.
One of Antonie Fuqua's decisions made for a moody set. But also a VERY difficult shoot. When I asked Denzel Washington about it during our exclusive interview, he explained that he understood how cool it looked, but after awhile, he didnt give a damn!
This week I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Terry Gilliam, who is only allowed in the U.S. for 30 days a year (more on that later). Over the course of ten minutes, we discussed The Zero Theorem, its ties to his past dystopian epics, how he sees the U.S. and his own legacy, what he has coming up, and what he believes the new world religion really is.
Needless to say, we had a lot to talk about with the Russos, from Captain America: The Winter Soldier to Marvels plans for Captain America 3 and beyond.
I had a blast speaking with The One I Love's director Charlie McDowell, and stars Mark Duplass and Elisabeth Moss. In a conversation filled with tip-toeing and Easter eggs, we uncovered the unconventional filmmaking behind this celebrated comedy, the magic in its making, and how it could prove the final straw in a soured relationship.
John Wayne's Star Trek Premonition And 10 More Things We Learned From To Be Takei's Transatlantic Premiere
Amid all the finery of Queen Mary 2, I enjoyed To Be Takei, which was afterwards complimented with a Q&A with the film's director Jennifer M. Kroot, and its stars George Takei, and his husband Brad Takei né Altman. The fruits of this fantastic event are below.
"They had spent all day making beautiful plates," Lasse Hallstrom told us. "Like 50 of them. And then we never had time to get to them! I dont know what happened to those plates of food."
Feige knows that a lot of what Marvel would like to do in Phase 3 and beyond depends on audiences accepting some of the oddities in James Gunns movie. But with so much happening on Marvels cinematic front, we lept from topic to topic and tried to cover as much ground as possible. Here are a few of the major things we discovered.

Shares of the firm are proposed to be listed on the National Stock Exchnage (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

Lance Bass was recently at the Environmental Media Association Awards, where he discussed his newfound appreciation for vegetables. Bass has been helping teach kids in schools about gardening and has learned a few new things himself.
The former boy-bander said he didn't fully appreciate how much nutrition you can get from vegetables and has since decreased his meat intake. In fact, Bass says he is pretty close to going vegan.

Fermín Cacho Ruiz (born 16 February 1969) is a Spanish athlete, winner of the 1500 metres at the 1992 Summer Olympics.
Born in Ágreda, Spain, Cacho had an enviable competitive record in the 1500 m, but it wasn't until late in his career that he produced a time of corresponding quality.
Cacho's first notable result came in 1990, when he finished second in the 1500 m at the European Indoor Championships in Glasgow. At the 1991 World Indoor Championships in Seville, Cacho finished again second in the 1500 m, behind Noureddine Morceli.
At the Olympic Games in Barcelona, Cacho was not considered a serious gold medal threat. But the Olympic 1500 m final was run at a very pedestrian pace, and Cacho positioned himself perfectly in the final lap, and outsprinted his rivals to win the gold medal in 3:40.12.
In 1993 at Stuttgart in World Championships, Cacho finished second, but took the 1500 m title at the European Championships in Helsinki in the next year. In World Championships at Gothenburg, Cacho only finished in eighth place.
After a relatively lean year in 1995, Cacho was back to his best in the early part of the 1996 season, leading up to the Olympic Games in Atlanta. Although Cacho was the defending Olympic 1500 m champion, the final in Atlanta was considered to be a match race between Morceli and Hicham El Guerrouj, who had filled the first two places at the previous year's World Championships. Approaching the completion of the third lap, Morceli was leading from El Guerrouj, when suddenly the Moroccan tripped and fell. In taking evasive action, Cacho was forced to leap over the fallen El Guerrouj, in a manoeuvre which he later estimated had lost him 5 metres of ground to Morceli, who had commenced his final lap sprint for the finish. Cacho chased Morceli around the last lap, but was unable to catch him. In the end Morceli won by 5 metres from the second-placed Cacho.
At the World Championships in Athens in 1997, Cacho won a silver medal again, and at the end of the same season he finally managed to run his world class time, when he finished second at the 1500 m behind El Guerrouj with a time of 3:28.95, which moved him to third on the all-time world list behind Morceli and El Guerrouj. He won the bronze medal at the 1998 European Championships in Budapest, and finished fourth in the World Championships at Seville in 1999. Cacho suffered an Achilles' tendon injury in 2000, causing him to miss the opportunity to add to his Olympic gold and silver medals at 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.
He held the European record at 1,500 m with a time of 3:28.95 for 16 years (1997–2013), until Mo Farah broke it with a time of 3:28.81.

Type 2 diabetes prevalence varies by socio-economic status within and between migrant groups: analysis and implications for Australia

Ethnic diversity is increasing through migration in many developed countries. Evidence indicates that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) prevalence varies by ethnicity and socio-economic status (SES), and that in many settings, migrants experience a disproportionate burden of disease compared with locally-born groups. Given Australia's multicultural demography, we sought to identify groups at high risk of T2DM in Victoria, Australia.
Using population data from the Australian National Census and diabetes data from the National Diabetes Services Scheme, prevalence of T2DM among immigrant groups in Victoria in January 2010 was investigated, and prevalence odds versus Australian-born residents estimated. Distribution of T2DM by SES was also examined.
Prevalence of diagnosed T2DM in Victoria was 4.1% (n = 98671) in men and 3.5% (n = 87608) in women. Of those with T2DM, over 1 in 5 born in Oceania and in Southern and Central Asia were aged under 50 years. For both men and women, odds of T2DM were higher for all migrant groups than the Australian-born reference population, including, after adjusting for age and SES, 6.3 and 7.2 times higher for men and women born in the Pacific Islands, respectively, and 5.2 and 5.0 times higher for men and women born in Southern and Central Asia, respectively. Effects of SES varied by region of birth.
Large socio-cultural differences exist in the distribution of T2DM. Across all socio-economic strata, all migrant groups have higher prevalence of T2DM than the Australian-born population. With increasing migration, this health gap potentially has implications for health service planning and delivery, policy and preventive efforts in Australia.

Multi use for this brush
By Ali
from B.C.
Like all IT brushes …it is great! I use it when I travel with the LLL disc and I use the small end to dip in the highlight to accent my brow. Love IT!
great brush
By Vickie
from BC
This brush came with an offer CC+ cream that I purchased at the last visit. This brush is an exceptional tool in applying the CC+ cream which in itself a very good product. As I have found in the past all the brushes are top notch.
IT Cosmetics quality brush
By Mariella99
from Ontario
I recently got this brush in the July/14 Showstopper. This is a great multi-purpose brush. The fuller end works for Celebration Foundation, for Radiance powder, for any finishing or setting powder you might have. The "concealer" end works for concealer (though it's a bit big for getting right up under your eyes) but is so handy for any place you want precision (applying contour or highlighting powder, for example) - you can deposit the product just where you want it and then use another brush to blend it out. Great brush and typical of the best brushes from IT.
another great IT brush
By Miss B
from Hamilton Ontario
I think I have a bit of an IT brush problem, I want them all!! I love all the brushes that I have received in other orders, so I ordered this on on it's own. It is smaller than most of the other brushes but it is now my fav brush. I use it for foundation mainly and I love the little end, great to cover up some smaller areas where I just need a little coverage and then I buff it over with the larger end. All the IT brushes are so soft and you feel like your doing your face a favour by using such soft brushes on your skin.

Great for applying concealer
By Madre
from Kitchener
I have a few of these brushes thanks to having bought every showstopper you've ever had! Yes I'm addicted. I used to use the brush to apply powder during the day, small end for under my eye. When I saw Jamie using the small end to apply to concealer I started to enjoy the concealer much more. This brush works better for me than the concealer brush.
All Star Favorite
By Silverbella

My go to brush daily. Tossed all my makeup brushes out won't use anything but It Cos brushes.I wash them weekly and they still look brand new. Please Jamie, design a eye shadow brush set with a variety of heads. Much love , xoxo

It's life changing!
By Tracy
from Fort Frances, Ontario
I use this brush to apply my concealer. It has totally changed the way my whole face looks. Apply concealer with the small end and then buff it into your skin with the large end. After that I apply my powder foundation. This brush seems to keep the concealer from settling into my under eye lines. I am so impressed by this brush.
Another Great Brush by
By Susan
from Chatham, ONT.
This brush was included with a recent showstopper. As with all of "it Cosmetics" brushes, this is another winner--sooooo soft, high quality, great for blush or powder/bronzer application, and the smaller end is a great utility brush. The brush alone is worth the entire price of the showstopper kit!!!!

African Heart, No Darkness
In his novels Achebe can also be unsparing. Things Fall Apart and Arrow of God (1964) portray village life before the arrival of colonialism as rich, complex and quasi-democratic, but also as sometimes violent, a place where newborn twins are left in the Evil Forest to die and a young boy is sacrificed when the Oracle of the Hills and the Caves demands it. No Longer at Ease (1960), set in the fifties, shows, with excruciating tension, a young government official sliding into corruption under the competing pressures of trying to do an honest job but simultaneously look out for his home village--the very people who helped pay for the education that qualified him for his government post in the first place.
In A Man of the People (1966), greed and tribalism undermine formal democracy in the years just after independence, clearing the way for the first of many military coups; the book's humor cannot fully obscure what is at bottom a depressing tale of hopes dashed. And Anthills of the Savannah (1987) delivers a more sinister picture of a military dictator who suppresses reports of drought and famine and then orders the death of a courageous newspaper editor who had once been his high school classmate and friend. Anthills is especially chilling because His Excellency is neither clown nor maniac but a successful, charismatic man whom Achebe shows to be subtly but inexorably corrupted by power and his fear of losing it.
Achebe's five novels are so accurate and insightful about Africa's history over the past century that you could teach an entire course in politics and culture around them. The best proof of his honesty is his continuing popularity in Africa; few Africans would remain interested in him if he were not telling the truth about how hard life there can be.
So just where does Achebe differ from Naipaul, given that on the surface both men portray an Africa marred by corruption and violence? In Home and Exile Achebe indicates the difference eloquently, explaining that the new African writers of his generation had "one common thread running through it all: the thread of a shared humanity linking the author to the world of his creation; a sense that even in the most tempting moments of grave disappointment with this world, the author remains painfully aware that he is of the same flesh and blood, the same humanity as its human inhabitants."
It is here that Naipaul and Conrad fail dismally. They see Africa as cursed, a place where evil and degradation are somehow intrinsic to its people and inherent in the dark land itself. But the crisis in parts of Africa today is by no means inevitable, nor are its origins entirely local. It is the product of human actions, of stagnation caused in large part by an unjust international economic order, including crushing levels of debt, and by the global trade in weapons and diamonds. This economic depression has contributed to the rise of dictators (often backed by the West, openly or tacitly) in some places and failed states and vicious profiteering warlords in others.
An imperfect but useful parallel would be Europe in the thirties--high rates of unemployment, unstable, disfigured by dictatorships and war (in Spain) that would spread across the continent. Europe's rapid recovery after 1945 proves that chaos was neither ingrained in its people nor embedded in the European landscape.
In the end Achebe is not asking the rest of the world to go to the other extreme, to revere Africa as a source of superior, tribal wisdom. All he wants, as he writes in critiquing Conrad, is for the West to start to look at Africa as "quite simply a continent of people--not angels, but not rudimentary souls either--just people, often highly gifted people and often strikingly successful in their enterprise with life and society."
Achebe's own exemplary life and work are helping to make this eloquent request real. He is by no means the only writer who portrays Africa's complexity and humanity. Others of this generous spirit include his fellow Nigerian Wole Soyinka; Ngugi wa Thiong'o, exiled from Kenya; the Senegalese writer and filmmaker Sembène Ousmane; and Bessie Head, who fled apartheid to live and write in Botswana before her untimely death in 1986.
Chinua Achebe's influence should go on and on, outliving petty African warlords and small-minded Western writers alike, teaching and reminding that all humankind is one.

Yes, Island Packet did when they chose the design approach that they did. Its simply a physics thing; huge amounts of wetted surface, a poorly shaped underbody, and foils, a dearth of sail area and an excessively inefficient rig proportion.
That is not hearsay, its just plain basic physics. And it is easy to quantify the relative impact of that design approach. When you look at the PHRF rating in any Region with light to moderate prevailing winds, the Island Packets are typically 60 to 90 seconds a mile slower than boats of an equal length, and 2 to 3 minutes a mile slower than more normal designs of an equal displacement. Those kind of number are huge difference in speed, and in cruising modes, slower boats generally do worse than their ratings might suggest. PHRF normally spots cruising boats a little time in racing mode, and so while these numbers may do Island Packet a 9-12 second disservice in racing mode but they clearly show that Island Packets are a bit doggie.
And that matches what most of us have observed out there on the water. In reality, my observations sailing IP's and observing 100's of them under sail for decades is that they really do not perform at the low end of the wind range.
While you may be able to crowd a large enough genoa on a Island Packet to close-reach at "3 knots in 5 knots" of true wind, that would result in an apparent wind of somewhere around 7 knots. In the same conditions a decent light air boat, i.e. one that is not a little doggie, without an oversized genoa, would be generating closer to 8 or 9 knots apparent wind in those same conditions and would be moving closer to 5 knots through the water, in other words doing close to the true wind speeds. And that is the precisely the point being made when people say, Island Packets are a little doggie in light air. But not only are they slow in light air, but they also make gobs of leeway compared to boats with more efficient keels.
In the end, what counts is you are satisfied with the performance of your boat, and that is a good thing for you. As such it should not matter to you when other speak of the relative capabilities of the IP's.
But when someone asks for a relative description of the performance of these boats and thier suitability for use in a predominantly light air venue, the alleged offshore capabilities of an Island Packet (I say 'alleged' since the A Offshore rating really does not really define the suitability of a boat for offshore use, just its likelihood of surviving out there) may be relevant for some, offshore characteristics were not the question being asked. What is relevant, is the observable light air performance, and IP's poor light air performance is easily observable by anyone who has sailed one in light air or seen them try to sail in light air.
Jeff, you are right. They are heavy and have low SA/displacement ratios. They aren't made for racing, have a larger tack angle than others, and the full keel adds to the leeway made under sail. They were designed for comfortable cruising, with roominess and shoal draft. In that respect, they are unbeatable.
Sailing on a day with 20 knots of breeze gusting to 25 knots is a real joy while bounding comfortably along while some popular priced, lighter sailboats are tied to the dock, knowing that sailing in those conditions would be challenging and uncomfortable. Pointing ability is not as good as one may desire, but cracking off the wind by 5 or 10 degrees will provide much more speed than pinching too close-winded. I may have to make an extra tack or two to get to the destination and be 20 minutes later than the other boats, but I enjoy the solid feel and comfortable ride.
As far as the Offshore A, STIX and other ratings; they are the best we have currently and as you say it defines their "likelihood of survivability" in the offshore realm..... and I will take that as
big plus
for the boats design.
I just object when Sailnetters trash the IP as pigs, etc. when in fact, they meet their design criteria quite well. I'm sure you notice that most people here do not "trash talk" other boats but simply point out commonly known areas of deficiencies in the build. No boat can fulfill every possible intended usage. They are all different, as people are all different.
I don't mean to create ill will here, but honest questions posed deserve honest answers. The OP asked about "light winds" and then gave a range of wind that is more than enough for any IP.
I'll be quiet now.

Nurse Paralegal: Educational Requirements
Nurse paralegals require some formal education. Learn about the degree options, job duties and licensure requirements to see if this is the right career for you.
Essential Information
Nurse paralegals investigate legal issues related to health insurance claims and malpractice law suits. With a combined understanding of the medical field and legal terminology, nurse paralegals can determine whether patients received the appropriate level of care or if medical professionals acted negligently. Most nurse paralegals review medical records and other legal documents in an office setting.
|Required Education
|Completion of an associate's or bachelor's degree program in nursing (RN), or a diploma nursing (RN) program as well as a nurse paralegal certificate program
|Projected Job Growth (2012-2022)*
|17% (for Paralegals and Legal Assistants)
|Median Annual Salary (May 2013)*
|$47,570 (for Paralegals and Legal Assistants)
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Educational Requirements for a Nurse Paralegal
Most nurse paralegal certificate programs require applicants to be registered nurses (RNs). Educational requirements for becoming an RN usually include completing an associate's degree or bachelor's degree program in nursing. There are also some diploma programs that train individuals to become RNs, but these programs are difficult to find.
Before being accepted into a nursing degree program, some colleges and universities require students to complete prerequisite courses. Common prerequisites include anatomy and physiology, chemistry, microbiology and general psychology. After being accepted into a nursing program, degree coursework covers patient care, nursing procedures, child health nursing, adult health nursing, pharmacology and health assessment.
After completing nursing degree programs, passing the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) and gaining work experience as RNs, individuals can enroll in nurse paralegal certificate programs. Nurse paralegal programs are similar to regular paralegal programs since both require courses in legal terminology, legal writing, torts and contracts. Nurse paralegal programs differ in that they place emphasis on healthcare issues, including coursework in healthcare law, medical legal ethics, medical insurance law and malpractice law.
License Requirements for a Nurse Paralegal
Although paralegal licensure is not required, nurse paralegals must hold valid RN licenses. Eligibility requirements for RN licensure vary by state, but all states require applicants to pass the NCLEX-RN. The exam asks questions in three key nursing areas, including creating a safe and effective care environment, psychosocial integrity, and health promotion and maintenance.
Registered nurses must renew their licenses in accordance with state law. Some states require that nurses participate in approved continuing education coursework, while others require that nurses work a particular amount of hours within a given time frame.
Salary Information and Employment Outlook
As noted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), paralegals and legal assistants overall (including nurse paralegals) earned a median annual salary of $47,570 as of May 2013. Employment of all paralegals and legal assistants was expected to increase 17% from 2012-2022, according to the BLS.

New York State Police will use special undercover SUVs to catch distracted drivers as part of a summer crackdown starting this July 4th holiday weekend.
The usual drunk driving checkpoints will be in place, but State Police Superintendent Joseph D'Amico says undercover patrols -- in higher vehicles -- are an effective tool for catching drivers who might be using a cell phone to text or email low down in their lap.
The SUVs are specifically designed for this purpose. "They have a much higher platform than your average car and it allows our troopers to be able to observer drivers and violations more discretely" and to see down into a car more effectively, said D'Amico.
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the crackdown in Manhattan on Wednesday while standing in front of two of the new SUVs. This comes just two days after a separate event where Cuomo signed a bill to toughen penalties for new drivers who text behind the wheel.
"Today's message is simple," he said. "Distracted driving kills and it is getting worse."
Cuomo likened distracted driving to road safety scourges of previous generations, specifically drunk driving and low rates of seat belt usage in the 1970s and 1980s.
As governor of New York in 1984, Andrew Cuomo's father, Mario Cuomo, signed the nation's first mandatory seat belt law into effect.
"I believe (if) we do this right," the younger Cuomo said, "the same way we can look back now and say, 'I can't believe people never wore a seat belt' ... we'll get to a point a few years from now where we say, 'I can't believe someone would think about texting while driving, that's crazy.'"
The summer crackdown patrols are a "significant increase" in undercover enforcement throughout the state -- but they may not happen within the five boroughs of New York City.
While State Police are permitted to make traffic stops within New York City, they rarely do so. The NYPD is not directly involved in Cuomo's crackdown. NYPD did not immediately respond to a request for clarification if it would also be increasing distracted driving enforcement using undercover SUVs this summer.
The distracted driving crackdown will be funded up to $1 million from money earned from "seized asset accounts."
In New York, about one in five crashes is a result of distracted driving, according to the governor's office.
Nice idea however now the textor will now hold the phone down against the door and really have to take his eyes off the road.Have you seen these foreign suvs.They are big and they are high high.And what about the semi drivers.Aint no suv going to see inside that truck.If they are built higher they will stand out like a sore thumb since all suvs built now are lower as a safety factor.
Why not subpoena cell phone records after a crash? This way it can be determined whether the driver was distracted.
This seems so obvious.

Last time I installed 7 on my machine I downloaded Windows Mail which was bearable. then with this new machine with Windows 7 64bit, I downloaded Windows Mail which ended up being Live Mail!
Not happy with all the extra toolbar options at the top of the Live mail Programme. What happend to Windows Mail has it been replaced or am i missing the download for the non Live mail version ?
I know Outlook Express doesn't run on 7 64bit or I would have that.

Microsoft has caused a great deal of confusion with Hotmail, Live Hotmail, Windows Mail and now Windows Live Mail. Windows Mail has indeed been replaced by Windows Live Mail and support for Windows Mail has been discontinued - have a look at this article, it may explain it in a bit more depth and offer alternatives if you are seeking them.
You mention the extra toolbar options. I don't have any of these. Perhaps it is something that is included when you download Windows Live Mail with Internet Explorer or perhaps there were options not to install them - can't remember now. I use Firefox.

I use Thunderbird to collect all of my e-mail accounts without any problems. However, I also do use my Windows Live Mail Account as it is very handy having something that is accessible wherever you are in the world. I must say I have not had any problems with it, so far but I do make a point of clearing out my inbox and sent items very regularly - anything important I put onto my PC in a word document, or whatever. The one positive point about Windows Live Mail is that there is a back up of your contact list "in the cloud".

Thanks difarn & ibanez2010 !
Its another unwanted change then by Microsoft, layout it ugly. I got the option when installing to tick what I wanted and just selected Live Mail nothing else. I will read that article you point me to later tonight when I manage to get 5mins to myself (I hope)
Thank you to both or you and wish you a Big Happy Merry Christmas !

Maybe you could try Mozilla Thunderbird for email instead. Many prefer it.

Tuesday's MLB Tip Sheet
By Brad Young
**Dodgers (Penny) at Brewers (Villanueva)**
-Caesars Palace lists Los Angeles as a $1.15 road 'chalk' over Milwaukee, with the total set at 8½ 'over' (minus $1.20). This National League contest is scheduled to start at 8:05 p.m. ET.
-Los Angeles pitcher Brad Penny (5-3, 4.79 ERA) was enjoying a personal four-game winning streak before falling to New York Wednesday as a $1.15 home favorite, 12-1. The veteran right-hander was blasted for 10 runs on 10 hits with three walks and two strikeouts over just 4 2/3 innings.
-The combined 13 runs eclipse the 8 ½-run closing total, enabling the 'over' to cash his sixth straight start.
-The 29-year-old beat the Brewers last year as a $1.32 home 'chalk,' 5-1, tossing seven scoreless innings on six hits with two walks and four strikeouts. The combined six runs went 'under' the 7½-run closing total.
-Milwaukee's Carlos Villanueva (1-4, 6.46 ERA) dropped to 0-3 his last five starts after Thursday's setback to Florida as a road 'pick,' 7-2. The three-year veteran went five innings, allowing seven runs on 10 hits (two home runs) with two walks and six strikeouts.
-The combined nine runs slithered below the 9½-run closing total, helping the 'under' improve to 3-1 his last four starts.
-Villanueva has not started against the Dodgers the past few seasons.
**Astros (Backe) at Giants (Cain)**
-Caesars Palace opened San Francisco as a $1.25 home favorite over Houston, with the total listed at eight 'under' (minus $1.15). First pitch is scheduled for 10:15 p.m. ET.
-Houston hurler Brandon Backe (2-4, 4.64 ERA) heads to the hill for the first time since falling to Washington Thursday as a $1.25 home 'chalk,' 8-3. The Texas native went six innings, surrendering four runs on six hits (one home run) with three walks and nine strikeouts.
-The combined 11 runs went 'over' the 9½-run closing total, ending back-to-back 'under' outings for the right-hander.
-Backe, a seven-year veteran, has not started against the Giants the last few years.
-San Francisco right-hander Matt Cain (1-3, 4.50 ERA) is off Thursday's setback to Pittsburgh as a $1.10 road underdog, 5-4. The 6-foot-3 hurler lasted 6 1/3 innings, yielding five runs on nine hits with a walk and five strikeouts.
-The combined nine runs eclipsed the 7½-run closing total, ending a string of three straight 'under' outings. Incidentally, the Giants won all three of those low-scoring affairs.
-Cain, in the league since 2005, has not started against the Astros the past few seasons.
**Blue Jays (Litsch) at Twins (Slowey)**
-Caesars Palace installed Minnesota as a $1.20 home 'chalk' over Toronto, with the total set at nine. This American League contest is scheduled to begin at 8:10 p.m. ET.
-Toronto hurler Jesse Litsch (4-1, 4.24 ERA) picked up a no-decision in Thursday's matchup with Tampa Bay. The 23-year-old was reached for three runs on five hits (two home runs) with no walks and two strikeouts over seven innings.
-The Blue Jays eventually dropped that contest as a $1.20 home favorite, 8-3, while the combined 11 runs went 'over' the 9½-run closing total. The 'over' is 5-2 this season when Litsch is pitching.
-The right-hander went 1-0 versus the Twins last year in two starts, going a combined 11 1/3 innings while surrendering four runs on 13 hits (one home run) with two walks and four strikeouts. The Blue Jays prevailed as a $1.15 home 'chalk,' 13-1, while losing as a $1.33 road underdog, 4-3.
-Minnesota's Kevin Slowey (0-2, 6.48 ERA) is still searching for his first victory of the year after Thursday's loss to Chicago as a $1.30 road underdog, 6-2. The Winthrop product went five innings, allowing three runs on four hits (two home runs) with no walks and four strikeouts.
-The combined eight runs failed to topple the nine-run closing total, helping the 'under' cash in both of his starts this season.
-The right-hander received a no-decision against the Blue Jays last year despite tossing a subpar five innings. Slowey was reached for five runs (four earned) on six hits (two home runs) with no walks and five strikeouts. The Twins ended up dropping that contest as a $1.35 home underdog, 8-5, while the combined 13 runs eclipsed the 8 ½-run closing total.
**White Sox (Danks) at Angels (Weaver)**
-Caesars Palace opened Los Angeles as a $1.30 home favorite over Chicago, with the total listed at 8½ 'over' (minus $1.20). This matchup is slated to start at 10:05 p.m. ET.
-Chicago southpaw John Danks (3-3, 3.18 ERA) snapped out of a personal two-game losing skid by beating Minnesota Thursday as a $1.40 home 'chalk,' 6-2. The two-year veteran surrendered two runs on six hits with two walks and five strikeouts over five innings.
-The combined eight runs went 'under' the nine-run closing total, helping the 'under' improve to 6-1 his seven starts.
-Danks has never started against the Angels in his brief major league career.
-Los Angeles counters with Jered Weaver, hoping the right-hander can improve on his 2-5 record and 5.59 ERA in eight outings. The Long Beach State product has dropped his last two starts after Wednesday's setback to Kansas City as a $1.15 road underdog, 9-4.
-The right-hander was reached for eight runs on 10 hits (two home runs) with a walk and a strikeout over just 3 1/3 innings. The combined 13 runs eclipsed the eight-run closing total, ending back-to-back 'under' outings for the 25-year-old.
-Weaver went 2-0 against the White Sox last year in two starts, going a combined 11 2/3 innings while yielding just one run on 10 hits with a walk and 13 strikeouts. The Angels triumphed as a $1.10 road underdog, 3-0, and as a $1.33 road 'chalk,' 2-1. The 'under' occurred in both meetings.

Weekly Diamond Preview
By Matt Fargo
Detroit Tigers at Kansas City Royals
With the rainout on Sunday, the Tigers will have had two days off prior to this series and the time off might be good. Detroit has lost seven of its last nine games including four of six at home during its recent homestand. Facing Kansas City might seem like a remedy to get out of the slump but it was the Royals who started the season with a sweep in Detroit . The Tigers now face one of this season's best success stories as Zack Greinke takes the hill. He is 6-7 in quality starts and has allowed three runs or fewer each time out.
Re: MLB News and Notes April 13
Atlanta (19-18) at Philadelphia (21-18)
The Braves and Phillies hook up for the first time this season, with a pair of young pitchers set to take the mound as Philadelphia's Kyle Kendrick (2-2, 4.93 ERA) opposes Jo-Jo Reyes (1-0, 2.25).
The Phillies return home from a seven-game road trip that saw them go 3-4, concluding the journey with losses at San Francisco on Saturday (8-2) and Sunday (4-3). Charlie Manuel's club has been lacking consistency the last few weeks, splitting its last 14 games, but it is 5-2 in its last seven home contests, 16-5 in its last 21 on Tuesdays and 5-1 in its last six as a favorite.
Atlanta arrives in Philadelphia after splitting Monday's double-header at Pittsburgh, losing the first game 5-0 and taking the nightcap 8-1. The Braves are on a 7-2 run overall, but they're still just 5-13 on the road this season. Also, they're on further negative runs of 0-5 as a road underdog, 0-4 against the N.L. East, 1-4 on Tuesdays and 1-4 in Reyes' last five road starts.
These rivals split their 18-game season series last year, though the Phillies did win nine of the last 14.
Reyes lasted just 2 2/3 innings on Thursday against San Diego, giving up two runs (one earned) on five hits, failing to get a decision in a 5-4 Braves win. Atlanta is 5-0 in Reyes' last five starts going back to last September, but only one of those wins came on the road.
In his young career, Reyes is 1-1 with an 8.46 ERA on the road in five starts, compared with 2-1 and a 3.96 ERA in seven home contests. Also, tonight marks the southpaw's first career start against Philadelphia.
With Kendrick on the mound, the Phillies are on streaks of 4-0 overall, 4-0 on Tuesdays, 14-5 as a favorite and 10-4 at home. In his most recent effort on Wednesday, Kendrick gave up 10 hits and three runs in six innings in Arizona, but the Phillies rallied for a 5-4 win to get Kendrick off the hook. The right-hander is 0-1 with a 3.46 ERA in two home starts.
Kendrick faced the Braves twice last year, giving up a combined five runs and 12 hits in 11 innings, with Philadelphia winning 6-4 at home and losing 9-8 on the road.
The over is 12-3 in Kendrick's last 15 starts overall, 6-1 in his last seven at home and 2-0 in his two career games against Atlanta. However, the under is 4-1-1 in Reyes' last six overall.
For Atlanta, the under is on streaks of 36-16-2 overall, 18-5-1 on the road, 16-5 as an underdog, 17-4-1 on the road against right-handed starters and 5-0 on Tuesdays. Conversely, the over is 5-2-1 in Philly's last eight overall, 7-3 in its last 10 as a favorite and 8-0 in its last eight series-openers.
N.Y. Yankees (19-20) at Tampa Bay (22-16)
The red-hot and record-setting Rays look put their five-game overall and franchise-record 10-game winning streaks on the line tonight when they hand the ball to Edwin Jackson (2-3, 4.04), while New York is set to go with ace Chien-Ming Wang (6-1, 3.12).
Tampa Bay pounded out a 7-1 victory in Monday's series opener and has now won 14 of its last 19 to climb six games over .500 for the first time in team history. The Rays have outscored their opponents 27-8 during their five-game winning streak, and they're now 14-7 at home. Additionally, Tampa is 5-0 in its last five as an underdog, but only 12-27 in Jackson's last 39 starts overall and 7-15 in his last 22 starts as an underdog.
The Yanks have followed a three-game winning steak by going 2-4 in their last six to fall back below .500. On the bright side, they're 20-6 in Wang's last 26 road starts and 41-15 in Wang's last 56 outings overall.
New York had won four straight against the Rays – all in Tampa – before last night's defeat. The Yankees still lead the season series 4-3, going 4-1 at Tropicana Field.
Wang suffered his first defeat of the season in Wednesday's 3-0 home loss to the Indians, giving up all three runs on five hits in seven innings. Including that outing, seven of Wang's eight starts this year have qualified as quality outings (at least six innings pitched and three earned runs or fewer allowed).
Wang is 3-0 with a 1.64 ERA in three road starts, yielding just four runs and 16 hits in 22 innings. Also, for his career, Wang is 7-4 with a 3.53 ERA in 12 starts against Tampa Bay, including a 2-0 home win on April 6 when he gave up four hits in six scoreless innings. In fact, the Yankees are 6-1 in Wang's last seven starts against the Rays and 5-1 in his last six outings in Tampa Bay.
Jackson was brilliant on Thursday at Toronto, giving up just six hits and one walk in eight scoreless innings. He left with a 3-0 lead, but the Rays' bullpen blew the advantage in the ninth inning, though Tampa Bay eventually prevailing 8-3 in extra innings. Jackson is 1-2 with a 4.44 ERA in four home starts.
Jackson faced New York twice in a 10-day span in April. He gave up a run on five hits in six innings of a 6-3 win in the Bronx, but got rocked in a 5-3 home loss, allowing all five runs on four hits in five innings. For his career, the right-hander is 2-2 with a 5.40 ERA in nine career games (five starts) against the Yankees.
The under is 6-2 in Wang's eight starts this season (3-0 in the last three), 5-1-2 in his last eight starts versus Tampa Bay, 7-2 in Jackson's last nine starts overall and 2-0 in Jackson's two efforts versus New York this season. The under is also 5-1 in the last six series meetings between these rivals overall, but the over is 9-3-2 in the past 14 clashes at Tampa Bay.
For the Rays, the under is 7-2 in their last nine home games, while the over is 5-2 in their last seven against A.L. East foes. For the Yankees, the under is on runs of 27-10-1 overall, 7-0 against right-handed starters, 6-1 on the road and 13-5 against A.L. East rivals.
ATS ADVANTAGE: TAMPA BAY and UNDER
Re: MLB News and Notes April 13
Alex Rodriguez out another week
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -Alex Rodriguez's strained right quadriceps will keep him from playing this week, causing the AL MVP to miss this weekend's series against the crosstown rival New York Mets.
''It's still not where it needs to be. I don't see him playing this week,'' New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi said before Monday night's series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays. ''You can't afford to have him come back for two days and lose him again for six weeks.''
Rodriguez hasn't played since April 28 and is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list Thursday.
He had an MRI exam Monday, then worked out at the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa for an hour. A-Rod took batting practice, fielded grounders and ran for about eight minutes in the outfield.
''Taking it one day at a time,'' said Rodriguez, who later showed up at Tropicana Field and sat with teammates in the dugout during the game.
Rodriguez took 87 swings and homered to all fields, including a few long opposite-field shots and one to dead center. He played catch and took groundballs at third base, but didn't run the bases during the workout.
Asked if he was pleased with the progress of his rehab, he said: ''So far, yes.''
While Girardi ruled out his return for the Mets' series at Yankee Stadium, the manager said there's still a possibility A-Rod could participate in extended spring training games by the end of the week.
Rodriguez initially injured his quad running out a grounder at Baltimore on April 20. He sat out three games before returning to the lineup on April 25. He appeared in four games before leaving during the eighth inning of a victory at Cleveland.
Two days later, he began his first stint on the DL since July 2000, when he missed 15 games with a right knee strain.
There was more encouraging news on the rehab front with catcher Jorge Posada, who threw for the first time since being placed on the DL with right rotator cuff tendinitis. He made 25 throws from 60 feet following a 15-throw warmup session.
Meanwhile, right-handed pitcher Ian Kennedy appeared to be headed back to the starting rotation. He was pulled after one inning of Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre's game against Indianapolis and could rejoin the Yankees for Thursday's series finale against Tampa Bay.
Girardi said before Monday night's game that he was still undecided about Thursday's starter, and that Darrell Rasner will face the Mets on Friday.
Left-hander Kei Igawa, hit hard at Detroit in his return to the majors, was moved into the bullpen. Girardi said it hadn't been determined whether Igawa would remain a reliever long-term.
''However we need him, we'll use him,'' Girardi said. ''Obviously, we want him to be productive and win games. ... We need to see him continue to improve. Right now, he's going to have a chance to show us in the bullpen.''

Ryan Braun hit two home runs for the second game in a row, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to an 8-3 victory over St. Louis. Braun followed up Sunday's two-homer performance by hitting two more off stingy Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright (3-2), who had given up four runs or less in each of his first seven starts and had a 2.25 ERA going into the game. Braun has nine homers on the year.
Cleveland's Asdrubal Cabrera turned the 14th unassisted triple play in major league history, accomplishing the feat in the second game of a doubleheader against Toronto. Cabrera made a diving catch on a line drive by Lyle Overbay, touched second base and then tagged out Marco Scutaro to quickly end the fifth inning of the Indians' 3-0 loss in 10 innings.
Manny Ramirez hit a two-run drive in the first inning of Boston's 7-3 loss at Minnesota for career homer No. 498. The two-run shot was his second in 20 games and gave him 1,630 RBIs, moving him past Harold Baines for 26th place on the career list.
Tim Hudson limited Pittsburgh to two hits and an unearned run over seven innings and Atlanta halted its seven-game road losing streak and the Pirates' six-game winning streak with an 8-1 victory in the second game of a doubleheader. The Braves still own the majors' worst road record, 5-14, but finally ended a road losing streak that extended over their last two road trips. They also stopped Pittsburgh's seven-game home winning streak.
Matt Garza pitched seven scoreless innings and surging Tampa Bay beat the Yankees 7-1 for its fifth consecutive victory. Jason Bartlett and Dioner Navarro each drove in two runs for the Rays (22-16), who climbed six games over .500 for the first time in franchise history and also extended their home winning streak to a club-record 10 games.
Jeff Keppinger and Brandon Phillips hit two-run homers in the seventh inning and the Cincinnati Reds beat Florida 8-7 to end the Marlins' seven-game winning streak. ... Odalis Perez had three hits and two RBIs and pitched into the seventh inning to lead the Nationals over the New York Mets 10-4. Washington ended a three-game slide. ... Vladimir Guerrero homered and drove in four runs and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Chicago White Sox 10-7 to snap a four-game losing streak.
Cliff Lee worked nine scoreless innings in Cleveland's 3-0 10-inning loss to the Toronto Blue Jays in the second game of a doubleheader. The Indians left-hander failed to become the AL's first seven-game winner but lowered his major league-leading ERA to 0.67. He gave up seven hits, walked two and struck out five.
``They were cheering in the dugout like a bunch of softball girls. I am a professional, I take great offense to that. ... They won tonight, but in the long run, look who they are, a last-place team.'' - Mets starter Nelson Figueroa after he walked five, hit two batters and committed a throwing error in a 10-4 loss to Washington.

3-D Dazzle Enhances Look of One-Dimensional Story
By Nick Chordas, The Columbus Dispatch, Ohio
Jul. 11–Journey to the Center of the Earth is reportedly the first live-action, feature-length film shot in digital 3-D.
Unfortunately, being the answer to a trivia question doesn't necessarily translate into a memorable moviegoing experience.
Journey, in fact, isn't really a movie at all. Based loosely on the novel by Jules Verne, the 92-minute action romp plays more like a showcase for the burgeoning technology than an organized amalgamation of character and plot.
(Be warned: The film is also being shown in the standard 2-D format, so be sure to find out whether the theater is equipped for digital 3-D before buying a ticket).
Yo-yos and tape measures fly at the screen, as do prehistoric beasts and a mouthful of toothpaste expelled by leading man Brendan Fraser.
In many ways, the film is no different from the more primitive 3-D efforts of the early 1950s. It just has a bigger budget and doesn't give the viewer an eyestrain headache.
The affable Fraser stars as Trevor Anderson, a scientist whose older brother disappeared while searching for "volcanic tubes" that lead to the Earth's core.
Trevor discovers clues to his brother's whereabouts in a tattered copy of Verne's novel and promptly leaves for Iceland, dragging his surly adolescent nephew, Sean (Josh Hutcherson), along for the ride.
The two hire a mountain guide/token love interest (Anita Briem) and soon find themselves running, screaming and wisecracking through the underground world described by the 19th-century author.
Journey, as directed by special-effects guru Eric Brevig, borrows liberally from adventure flicks past and present, whether it's Merian C. Cooper's King Kong or Fraser's already-derivative franchise, The Mummy.
A mine-car chase, meanwhile, has been lifted almost gag for gag from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
The family movie has almost no plot. The connective tissue between action set pieces — typically consisting of a short walk or a few lines of jocular dialogue — is so thin that transparent seems too murky a word.
Thankfully, the action can be as exhilarating as it is ridiculous. By the time the final credits roll (also in 3-D), our intrepid trio will have rappelled down 200-foot cliffs, clashed with man-eating plants and slid down the side of Mount Vesuvius in the fossilized jawbone of a Tyrannosaurus rex.
Much of the fun has to do with the 3-D presentation, which never stops being gimmicky but at least provides a few genuine jumps and laughs.
Still, not every theater in town is equipped to show the movie in its intended eye-popping format. Journey was screened to critics in 3-D but will show on many central Ohio screens in 2-D.
(The Easton 30, Lennox 24, Pickerington and Polaris 18 theaters have at least one screen equipped for digital 3-D.)
I can't imagine that Journey works half as well in 2-D, as it has been designed from the ground up as a 3-D feature. Granted, I haven't seen the standard version and can't say for sure how the one-dimensional script fares when animate and inanimate objects aren't leaping into the viewer's lap.
As a 3-D movie, Journey to the Center of the Earth is occasionally fun but ultimately forgettable entertainment that only hints at the possibilities of the medium.
