Brown, along with team-mates Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick, has accepted a long-term deal to stay at Old Trafford.
"There was that possibility because of the fact that his contract was up," said Ferguson on Sky Sports News, when asked if he thought the England international would move on.
"I don't think there's any club for Wes Brown other than Manchester United, he's a Manchester United player and I was always quietly confident."
Ferguson also praised the impact of Carrick, who has steadily grown in stature since joining United from Tottenham in the summer of 2006.
The United boss added: "He has had a wonderful season, he's been a terrific buy and I'm really very pleased with him.
"He's a good age, he's a nice age, so we're all happy about all these things."
In addition to extending the contracts of three current players, Ferguson also admitted he is likely to add to his squad in the summer.
"This continues our policy of lengthening the contracts at the right times and it gives us continuity of the first-team squad together, which we try to work hard at, and that's not easy in today's world, but we do our best," continued Ferguson.
"We have a strong squad, whether we stock up in the summer, then it's a possibility of course, a good possibility, but there's no question that having that strong squad has definitely aided us this season."

Paintball beating ensured Matheny's reputation as a tough guy
JUN 12, 2013 12:57p ET
And Matheny sure is tough. Not many of us could absorb a paintball barrage that left us bloody and bruised and be back at work the next day.
Matheny did just that during spring training in one of his two seasons (2005-06) as Giants catcher. Near the end of a team-bonding paintball outing, he absorbed a pummeling that teammates still haven't forgotten.
As Matheny recalls, enough paintball pellets remained for one final round, which would not be over until only one man was left standing in a battle that pitted pitchers and catchers against position players.
"They lined us up and we took off running right at the opposing team," Matheny says. "All of a sudden, my hopper comes open and all my paintballs fell out. I'm reaching for the ground, trying to put balls back in my gun. I end up getting reloaded and I took another guy's gun."
At this point, think Arnold Schwarzenegger making a last stand in Terminator, gun in each hand, ready to take on the world.
"I'm just getting drilled," Matheny says. "But I'm thinking I can't surrender here. At the end, I was still standing. I hadn't quit."
"There was blood involved," then-teammate Steve Finley says.
Matheny had gone to the outing even though his wife, Kristin, was visiting from St. Louis. "It was a great opportunity for me to say, 'Guys, I'm going to dinner with my wife,' " Matheny says. "But I told her I really have to do this."
He had to be there for his pitchers. So instead of dinner, Kristin ended up spending the evening counting the marks left on her husband from a paintball pummeling.
"My wife counted 180-some different times where I got hit with a paintball," Matheny says. "I didn't think you could get a fever from welts, but I had one."
His stand left his new teammates impressed. "It's amazing what an impact it had," Matheny says. "I had guys talk about that forever. I didn't think it was that big a deal. Everybody got shot, just some of us more than others."
When I called Finley to ask what he remembered about the outing, I said I wanted to test his memory for a story I was reporting on Matheny.
His first words: "Does this have anything to do with paintball?"
How would you know that?
"When you said test my memory and Matheny, that's what I thought of," Finley says. "That is one of the memories I have etched in my mind about Mike Matheny."
While David Freese was impressed to hear about Matheny's ability to take a paintball beating, he cited another example of his manager's toughness. When Matheny was playing for the Brewers in 1998, he got hit by a pitch in the face.
"Ninety-some miles per hour, flush in the jaw, and he didn't even go down," Freese says. "He was spitting out blood and he just walked to the dugout. That ended up being the game-winning run."
Matheny ended up back in the lineup the next day.
Such toughness has gone a long way in Matheny earning respect from his players. When your boss is tough, you're more likely to man up, too.
"It trickles down, for sure," Freese says. "As extremely tough as Mike is physically, mentally he overpowers his physical toughness. You just feel it when you're around him. You understand quickly how tough Mike is, the way he handles the good and the bad."
In the macho world of the major leagues, the respect a manager gains from his players goes a long way in determining his success.
"Leadership and toughness are intertwined," Freese says. "We see both in Mike every day."
They don't need to engage him in a paintball game, either.

The focal length difference is interesting: The Mamiya RB67 is actually an 8x8cm camera, and all the RB lenses cover (at least) this format. This is probably why they went with a slightly longer focal length (37mm) for the 180-degree fisheye in this format, possibly allowing a bit of corner clipping if you're one of the few people shooting 6x8cm in an RB67.
I'd love to participate in a comparative test - who has a Pentax 35mm? And unfortunately I'm in South Africa :-(

BBB: Dragons use size to down Trojans
February 13, 2014By Andrew Smith of New Palestine High School
New Palestine's front line was dominant as the Dragons beat New Castle 51-37 on the road Wednesday night.
The Dragons' three frontline starters combined for 33 points and 21 rebounds in the victory at the New Castle Fieldhouse.
Brandon Jonas had 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting, and hit his first 3-pointer of the season, to lead the Dragons in scoring. He also had five rebounds. Connor Roach continued his strong play of late with 11 points, six rebounds and two assists. He has hit 14 of his last 19 field-goal attempts. Seth Cox just missed a double-double, as he tallied eight points and grabbed 11 rebounds. He also had two assists and a team-high three steals.
Samson Haynes had seven points, three assists and four boards, while Ryan Curry scored six points and grabbed seven rebounds.
The 37 points allowed were a season-low for New Palestine's defense, and marked the seventh time in the last nine games NP has held a team to 50 points or less.
New Palestine led 11-9 after a quarter and 20-17 at the half, but held the Trojans to three points in the third quarter -- a season-best defensive output for the Dragons in a quarter -- to build a 29-20 edge after three. NP scored 22 fourth-quarter points to put the game away.
NP shot 40 percent from the floor (16-40) but was 16-27 from the line. The Dragons had a season-low eight turnovers. The Dragons outrebounded New Castle 35-25. NP held the Trojans to just 24 percent shooting (12-49), including 7-31 from 3-point range. NC was 6-8 from the line. Andrew Garrett hit four 3-pointers and scored 14 points to lead the Trojans.
New Palestine is now 8-7 on the season and continues its busy week with a Thursday game at Franklin (7:30 varsity tip) and a Saturday home game against Connersville (1:30 varsity tip). Both games will be broadcast by HancockCountySports.com.
The Dragons also won the JV game.

Veruca Salt, 'American Thighs'
Two Chicago women harmonizing on voice and guitar in front of two guys smart enough to stay in their place, Veruca Salt had been together for barely a year before they hit with "Seether," a song that churned like a less self-conscious Breeders and bombarded you with neither/nor constructions either about a cat, a female body part, just plain seething or none of the above. Years later, the single's title would inspire a perplexingly popular corporate post-post-post-grunge band who no more resemble "Seether" than American Thighs resembled AC/DC. But the album's juxtaposition of chunky crunching, wallflower whispering, and intermittently violent young adult literature (Veruca Salt being a Roald Dahl character) held undeniable charms, chasing Spiderman with spider monkeys and shambling toward two diary entries about being set in one's ways — though the fuzz-riffed "25" repeatedly quotes the American Breed's 1968 soul-rock nugget "Bend Me, Shape Me" in search of free alterations.

Organic Soap and Spa Announces Website Improvements for Survivors
Organic Soap and Spa has a long history of serving the needs of cancer survivors, especially breast cancer victims. Today, they launched a new website which helps survivors find appropriate products.
Boulder, CO (PRWEB) May 09, 2013
Organic Soap and Spa has launched a new feature on their retail level website: store.organicsoapandspa.com which has a very unique use. It can help cancer victims decide which products are especially designed with their needs in mind. Here´s how it works:
Search any word, product type, anything at all. A navigation system comes up on the left hand side of the page. One of the option boxes is Special Skin Issues. Items using your search term that are appropriate for those with special issues related to cancer are identified in a check box. The consumer can click on that link and immediately go to these products.
The criteria for a product to be eligible to be for this designation was developed based on a number of things, such as customer feedback and involvement in product selection and a very stringent look at ingredients. "Since we are an all-organic manufacturer of bath and body products, we´ve had a base of customers that have come to us looking for products that meet their specific needs since we opened our first store in 2006. And, of course we listened. Some came to us with lists from their doctors. So we started there."
The most common product that survivors were looking for? "Moisturizers first, to treat extremely dry skin. And then shampoo and especially conditioners that are phthalate, paraben, preservative and basically chemically free. No dyes, no perfumes. And no soy. We even changed our source for organic cocoa when we found out some processors used lecithin, a soy based ingredient, to make the cocoa." Says owner Joan Torres-Saez. "We´re completely soy free across the product line, now and we´ve always been phthalate, paraben, preservative, dye and perfume free."
In addition to the search feature, every product has a check box called "Special Skin Issues". Consumers can select any product, click on "Additional Features" and scroll down to see if that product has been marked "Survivor". "We´re not looking to overstate this, but we do want to give those consumers who have a need, access to this information easily and without a lot of fuss. We received a lot of questions about specific ingredients related to this, so we wanted to make it easy upfront to help consumers decide."
Breast cancer has personally touched the life of Torres-Saez. "My aunt passed, and another close family member is currently in chemo. It´s the most awful disease. Whatever we can do to be more sensitive to the issue, to help during this frightening and vulnerable time"¦ well, I mean, what wouldn´t you do?"
Organic Soap and Spa is a manufacturer and distributor of fine organic bath and body specializing in products with science-based efficacy. Their product line is developed in house and never uses "boutique" manufacturing or formulators which enables them to control the ingredients and quality of their products. They have been featured in the Oscars' Goody Bag and support celebrity charity events. Check with your local natural grocer or contact Organic Soap and Spa http://store.organicsoapandspa.com for more information about any of their products.

Congress leader Shakeel Ahmed, on Saturday stated that prime minister's step-brother Daljit Singh Kohli joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was his personal decision and that the latter was free to join the party.
"Every man is free personally to decide about one's own choice. In fact, the Prime Minister's office has said that they were surprised by this decision. I have read from the newspaper that another brother of prime minister has come out and said that they are in total four brothers and six sisters, and that except him all others back the Congress. So, naturally, one is independent to take its own course if that makes him to believe that his decision will help him," Ahmed said.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's step-brother, Daljit Singh Kohli, joined the BJP. Kohli was present on stage at the joint BJP-Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) rally held in Amritsar on Friday night.
The rally was also attended by Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
Addressing the gathering, Modi said that Kohli's decision to join the BJP would increase the party's strength, and added that it would be his endeavour to forge a close relationship with the latter.

When Friends go Into Business Together ....
How do successful businesses between friends incubate? Very well, according to experts if timing is right and the friends remain friends.
First, both parties must share the same goals, and that means more than just wanting to leave the current job for the other side of the fence. Making millions of dollars may not be the goal in mind; it could be to achieve a milestone or live a dream never before realized.
Complementary skills is the next consideration. You would not want to possess the same skills or competencies as your business partner, but instead would want to complement one another by building each other's strengths.
Third, friends must have mutual respect for each other. Although this may seem like a 'given' between friends, it should be something discussed and spoken to one another at all times. Respect breeds success.
Last, friends as business partners should understand the costs involved in the venture. Both should be present at all times during financial discussions with professionals, and both should be familiar with the operations side of the business.

Will Israel's 'Rich Uncle' Buy 'Newsweek'?
Haim Saban, America's pro-Israel billionaire
That Haim Saban is one of the main candidates to buy Newsweek should not be surprising to those who read Connie Bruck's fantastic profile of the Israeli-American media tycoon in last week's New Yorker: She reports that Saban tried to buy Newsweek or Time a couple years ago. (Tablet Magazine's Allison Hoffman profiled Saban's wife, Cheryl, last year.)
But now that The Washington Post Company has put the venerable magazine on the auction block, it is closer to Saban's grasp. And if Saban owned one of America's two main newsweeklies, that would be significant political news.
For the great reveal of Bruck's piece is that despite all the canny business deals that have turned Saban into a self-made multi-billionaire (credit, among other things, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), "He is most proud of his role as political power broker." And his political power-brokering has a focus: "I'm a one-issue guy," he says, "and my issue is Israel."
Or, as an Israeli television interviewer once told him, "You really are our rich uncle in America, and we can rely on you."
Though a staunch Democrat (and massive Democratic contributor), he more specifically is a diehard backer (and close personal friend) of the Clintons. As a corollary, he has been unshy about expressing his displeasure with the Obama administration, particularly vis-à-vis its comparatively tough line on Israel. Even earlier this week, he said on Israeli television, "They are leftists, really left leftists, so far to the left there's not much space left between them and the wall."
You really should read the whole New Yorker profile. But, after the jump, some choice bits that help capture this important (and, maybe, soon-to-be even more important) man's relationships with his two countries:
On the origins of his love for Israel:
Saban's father had been a sales clerk in a small toy shop in Alexandria [Egypt]. One day, Saban says, he was doing his homework by an open window of the family's apartment. An Egyptian soldier across the way suddenly pointed his gun at him, and called out, "You, Jew! You, Jew! Bam bam!" In 1956, after the Suez Crisis, the Egyptian President, Gamal Abdel Nasser, effectively ordered Jews to leave the country.
On his role in the 2000 Camp David talks:
As Saban has said, "I'm a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel." When Bill Clinton was President and Ehud Barak was Israel's Prime Minister, Saban, who was close to both men, says that occasionally he provided a back channel for communications. In July of 2000, shortly before the start of the Camp David negotiations, Israel's planned two-hundred-and-fifty-million-dollar sale of an airborne radar system to China—furiously opposed by many at the Pentagon and in Congress—threatened to derail congressional support for a peace deal. Saban said, "I just called Ehud and told him, 'In the middle of this peace thing, it's impossible for Israel to do things that are perceived in the U.S. as against the interests of the U.S. I understand the financial aspect, I understand that it may not be really a security concern for the U.S.—it doesn't matter. There's a much bigger picture here, and you really should seriously consider.' " Barak suspended the sale. "How much impact my call had, I have no idea," Saban added. During Camp David, he continued, "I was involved, but only on the periphery. If Barak could not say some things to Clinton to his face, he would ask me to convey a message, and vice versa." At one point during the negotiations, Clinton, accompanied by his national-security adviser, Sandy Berger, had to go to Japan. "When they came back, I spoke to Sandy Berger, and gave him my two cents about dealing with issues. 'Is that really super-important?' 'Well, why can't Arafat give up on that?' " He laughed. "The usual!"
On Clinton and Obama:
"Obama was asked the same question Hillary was asked—'If Iran nukes Israel, what would be your reaction?' Hillary said, 'We will obliterate them.' We . . . will . . . obliterate . . . them. Four words, it's simple to understand. Obama said only three words. He would 'take appropriate action.' I don't know what that means. A rogue state that is supporting killing our men and women in Iraq; that is a supporter of Hezbollah, which killed more Americans than any other terrorist organization; that is a supporter of Hamas, which shot twelve thousand rockets at Israel—that rogue state nukes a member of the United Nations, and we're going to 'take appropriate action'!"
… Saban called Hillary's defeat "my biggest loss—and not only mine. I'll leave it at that."
… Saban said that the Administration "may want to consider the fact that their relationship with their Israeli wife is more valuable than their newfound relationship with their Arab mistresses.

In fact the pixel convergence (or alignment) is spot on on this unit right across the image, which is better than my original one. Apparently if any issues occur with this one I can call it in in the same way as the original unit. The engineer mentioned one chap he'd been out to was on his sixth unit in as many months, but now they were swapping his TW3200 for a different model altogether! Can't fault Epson's response times - only a couple of days from raising the fault to the problem being resolved.

Far be it from me to question anything related to some visual wonderments by one super fine female form like Joanna Krupa, but this casual nip slip bending over in Miami, well, if I didn't know any better, I'd say Joanna maybe kind of planned this one out. Which takes away nothing from the majestic sights provided by this Krupa nipple slip. I don't need to question motive when the answer is Joanna's bare boobtastic on display even just a peek.
In summary, nip slip, definitely. Wardrobe malfunction, hmm, the jury is still out. Enjoy.

Ancient Denvers - Red Dirt World (Image 10)
June 14, 2010
Ancient Denvers - Red Dirt World (Image 10) Time Period: 55 million years ago - Early Eocene (Cenozoic) A subtropical rainforest with Macginitiea trees and lygodium ferns lines the red banks of a medium-size river. Crocodiles and aquatic plants fill the channel and a pair of hippo-like Coryphodon meander along the shore. Ten million years have passed since the rainforest first formed on the flanks of the Front Range. The world is now in the grip of an intense phase of global warming. There are no polar ice caps, and crocodiles and turtles live above the Arctic Circle. [Text used by permission, Denver Museum of Nature & Science.] This image is from Ancient Denvers, an exhibition of paintings depicting the Denver area as it looked during the various phases of our earths geologic past. Using evidence from the core's rocks and sediment, and from geologic evidence gathered in other parts of the area, museum scientists, working with local artists, re-created several ancient Denver landscapes that depict Denver's amazingly varied past. The Ancient Denvers paintings were funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) (grant EAR 98-05474). Ancient Denvers is an outreach effort of the Denver Basin research project at the museum. Primary funding for the Denver Basin Project was provided by NSF, the Colorado Water Conservation Board, the Colorado State Engineer's Office, the United States Geological Survey, the Colorado Division of Water Resources, Elbert County Commissioners, Jefferson County Open Space, the Colorado Natural Areas Council and Prima Energy. To learn more about Ancient Denvers, visit the exhibition homepage. (Date of Image: 2002) [Image 10 of 14 related images. See Next Image.] The Artists The artwork in the Ancient Denvers exhibit includes the combined talents of three experienced artists. --Donna Braginetz is known for her precise renderings of dinosaurs and other ancient life. She painted the first of the Ancient Denvers landscapes -- a reconstruction of the site of Denver International Airport as it looked 65 million years ago. The painting and the public's response to it were the inspiration for expanding the Ancient Denvers project to include thirteen additional landscapes. --Gary Staab is a well-known sculptor and painter of prehistoric animals. His work has appeared on the cover of Natural History magazine. Gary is a former employee of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, where he created a number of sculptures for the Prehistoric Journey exhibition. --Jan Vriesen is a world-renowned painter and muralist. He is best known for painting murals that form the backdrops of museum dioramas.

The life of a relief pitcher isn't always fair.
Case in point: Though he was hardly the team's most valuable reliever in that season, it's John Wetteland's image that graces most of the celebratory photographs of the New York Yankees' World Series championship in 1996. Wetteland was the team's closer that year, and therefore the man who got the glory, including the final out of the World Series.
Not that Mariano Rivera should complain. In 14 years since, he has made quite the name for himself (at this point, it's hard to argue against his being a certain first-ballot Hall of Famer). Though somewhat hidden as Wetteland's setup man, Rivera earned the chance to close with his astonishing 1996 campaign, becoming one of the best fantasy options at his position for the past decade-plus.
That's the injustice, yet the reality, of life in the bullpen. Many relievers deserve a chance to close, to occupy the attention-grabbing spot, but not everyone gets that chance. There isn't always a rhyme or reason as to how managers pick their finishers. The best we can do as fantasy owners is zero in on talent and hope, just hope, for a transition as clean as the Wetteland-to-Rivera handoff.
(As an aside, it's worth pointing out that in that stellar 1996 as a setup man, Rivera actually got the chance to close ever-so-briefly in both May and August. It wouldn't be until 1997 that he'd have the gig full time, which demonstrates how deserving candidates don't always get their chance immediately.)
Our "Closer Chart," which is updated regularly, lays out the current closer and who is next in line for each team. That's a valuable resource for fantasy owners, but while it tells you where the handcuff values lie or who to nab if a closer gets hurt, demoted or traded, it doesn't necessarily address the topic of relievers who are most deserving of a chance to close.
So let's take a look at those skilled relievers. None of these pitchers is necessarily the next in line to close, and some reside on teams where the closer has as much job security as a finisher could have. Still, such a list has its values. Besides hinting at who might be next in line to close, be it tonight, next week or two years from now, it also highlights pitchers who are about as rock solid as they come in holds, ERA, WHIP and strikeouts.
Note: Tristan H. Cockcroft's top 75 relief pitchers are ranked for their expected performance from this point forward, not for statistics that have already been accrued.
1. Luke Gregerson, San Diego Padres: Few relievers have done as much to improve themselves from a year ago as Gregerson, and let's point out that in 2009, he finished fourth in the majors among relievers in both holds (27) and strikeouts (93). Two things have changed. His command has been impeccable; his 0.97 walks-per-nine innings ratio is a significant improvement upon 2009's 3.72, and he has issued just two free passes in his past 122 batters faced. He also hasn't had problems with left-handed hitters, limiting them to .091/.153/.109 (AVG/OBP/SLG) this season. It's difficult to explain how Gregerson could have made such huge strides in the latter department, but one major difference, per Inside Edge, is that lefties have just .050/.095/.050 rates against his fastball this year (he has thrown 98 of them) compared to .452/.507/.629 in 2009 (in 300 fastballs thrown), not to mention he's relying a bit more on his slider in those at-bats. Chances of closing: The Padres are currently in first place, half a game from the National League's best record, so a Heath Bell trade isn't likely. At least Gregerson looks like the go-to guy in the event the Padres do need a Bell replacement.
2. Tyler Clippard, Washington Nationals: He's another reliever who has made huge strides in recent seasons. Except, unlike Gregerson, Clippard was every bit as lights-out last year as he has been in this one. His fastball/slider/changeup (with an occasional curve tossed in) combination has been lethal in short outings. He had the fifth-best swing-and-miss percentage among relievers last year (68.5) and ranks eighth in that category this year (69.5). He's also high in the rankings because his fastball has been death against left-handers since the beginning of last year. They have .153/.230/.242 overall rates against him during that span. Chances of closing: Good, one would think, since Matt Capps is a big-time trade candidate, but bad in that the Nationals might think it's better to turn things over to their future closer, Drew Storen, first. I still think Clippard this year, Storen next.
3. J.J. Putz, Chicago White Sox: He might not have been pitching as effectively for as long as some of the other relievers on this list, but he has a closer's pedigree and peripherals this season that look similar to those he had during his best years with the Seattle Mariners in 2006 and 2007. Let's compare: 11.16 K's per nine in '06 and '07, 11.57 this year; 1.56 walks per nine in '06 and '07, 1.40 this year; 47.9 percent ground-ball rate in '06 and '07, 52.5 this year. Plus, Putz's splitter has been about as filthy this year as during his prime. Chances of closing: Bobby Jenks' recent resurgence aside, Putz's prospects seem quite good. He appears to have leapt ahead of Matt Thornton in the pecking order.
4. Evan Meek, Pittsburgh Pirates: One thing to be pleased about with Meek is that his fastball velocity has experienced a noticeable uptick in each of his three big-league seasons, to the point where FanGraphs lists his average at 95.1 mph, among the five highest in the game. Interestingly enough, his strikeout rate has failed to reach a batter per frame in any of his first three big-league seasons, but his ground-ball rate has been at least 50 percent in each. That's quite a combination and should help diminish the risk of future implosions. Chances of closing: Excellent, being that Octavio Dotel is a top trade candidate and Meek has been the Pirates' most effective reliever all season while setting Dotel up.
5. Daniel Bard, Boston Red Sox: He can hit 100 mph on the gun, and per FanGraphs, his average fastball velocity is 97.9 mph. So he fits the mold of a closer. Lefties can't touch him; he has limited them to .103/.208/.118 rates this season. So it's no wonder rumors are circulating that the Red Sox might look to shop closer Jonathan Papelbon during the offseason. Chances of closing: Poor this year, barring a Papelbon injury, but might this bullpen be one of the most ideal parallels of any to the 1996 Wetteland/Rivera combination? Hmm
6. Mike Adams, San Diego Padres: While his experience might have seemingly placed him next in line to close in San Diego, Gregerson appears to have leapt ahead of him on the depth chart. But let that be a credit to Gregerson's improvement rather than a knock on Adams. He continues to rank among the game's most effective relievers and has stayed healthy all year. Adams has averaged 10.3 K's per nine in his three years in San Diego, so he can help you even if he never sniffs a save chance. Chances of closing: Unfortunately, he truly might never sniff a save chance.
7. Joel Zumaya, Detroit Tigers: Another pitcher who can top 100 mph on the radar gun, his 99.4-mph average fastball velocity suggests the lightning fastball of his breakout 2006 campaign has officially returned. Zumaya is hardly your blow-'em-away flamethrower these days, though. He has improved his command to the point where he has a 2.29 walks-per-nine ratio, more than two-and-a-half walks per nine below his career mark in the category (4.81). Chances of closing: None, unless Jose Valverde suffers a catastrophic injury, but Zumaya appears to have recaptured the skills to be useful in every category but saves.
8. Brandon League, Seattle Mariners: He's more of a ground-ball pitcher than a strikeout artist, and lefties do give him a little trouble, but when a reliever has a ground-ball rate greater than 60 percent (64.1 this season) and his level of command in a spacious ballpark such as Safeco, good things are going to happen. He might be the sneakiest saves sleeper of the lot. Chances of closing: Better than you think; David Aardsma has been rumored to be on the trading block.
9. Jason Motte, St. Louis Cardinals: Remember this name? Fantasy owners were abuzz with thoughts that Motte might close at the onset of the 2009 season, but concerns that his fastball was straight as an arrow pressed him into a middle-relief role, where he has settled in rather nicely in the year-plus since. That fastball has presented some real problems for opponents; he has afforded them just .200/.360/.350 rates with the pitch this season. Chances of closing: They hinge on Ryan Franklin's history of sluggish finishes, but even if Franklin struggles in the coming weeks, he did hold the job through them all of last year.
10. Joel Hanrahan, Pittsburgh Pirates: This ex-Nationals closer began the season on the disabled list and got off to a somewhat rocky start, but all that has done is concealed the fact that he has a 2.70 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 13.5 K's-per-nine ratio in his past 23 appearances. He's another pitcher who lacks a dominant pitch versus lefties, but Hanrahan does miss a lot of bats and has made improvements with his command this season. Chances of closing: It wouldn't be completely shocking if Hanrahan's past closer experience earns him a chance once Dotel is traded. But Meek deserves first crack at the role.
The next 10:
11. Frank Francisco, Texas Rangers
12. Sergio Romo, San Francisco Giants
13. Joaquin Benoit, Tampa Bay Rays
14. Fernando Rodney, Los Angeles Angels
15. Takashi Saito, Atlanta Braves
16. Rafael Betancourt, Colorado Rockies
17. Matt Guerrier, Minnesota Twins
18. Jose Contreras, Philadelphia Phillies
19. Kyle McClellan, Cardinals
20. Drew Storen, Nationals
Middle reliever spotlight: Santiago Casilla, San Francisco Giants
If this name sounds familiar to you, it's because it should. This is the former "Jairo Garcia" who was seemingly a candidate to take over as the Oakland Athletics' closer at the time of his big league debut about half a decade ago. Things didn't pan out so well for him across the bay, though. In parts of six seasons with the Athletics, he had a 5.11 ERA and 1.58 WHIP, battling his share of injuries along the way.
Now with the Giants, Casilla looks like a remade pitcher. He's throwing harder -- his average fastball velocity is a career-high 96.6 mph, compared to 94.3 for his career -- and his offspeed offerings have posed nothing but problems for opponents, whose well-hit average against his offspeed strikes is a nice, round .000. All told, he has 18 strikeouts in 10 2/3 innings of work.
The Giants have noticed. They've afforded him two save chances in the past three weeks, though one was an extra-inning appearance, and in the other he was summoned in the eighth inning only to see the Giants score enough runs to remove a save opportunity for typical closer Brian Wilson. Still, Casilla has appeared in the eighth inning or later in seven of his 14 appearances, so he's a clear factor in the late innings for the team. He's not necessarily next in line to close -- that honor presumably belongs to Romo -- but Casilla can be of help in NL-only formats, and his role in the bullpen might be expanding.
Upgrade your roster
Add: Matt Belisle, Colorado Rockies
Drop: Franklin Morales, Colorado Rockies
Only owners in deeper leagues -- NL-only in particular -- might find either of these relievers valuable, but many people tend to cling to the past. In this case, it's the memory of Morales serving briefly as the Rockies closer both late in the 2009 regular season and in the early stages of this year. In his most recent go-around, he wasn't particularly effective, blowing two of five save chances and posting a 4.09 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 12 appearances. Turns out Morales' flaws began to catch up with him, the most obvious being that he has significant problems with right-handed hitters (.276/.277/.399 career rates, compared to .182/.274/.323 against lefties).
These days the Rockies are smarter about Morales' usage -- at least as smart as they can be without again trying him as a starter (preferably in Triple-A) -- saving him for specific situational spots versus lefties. Unfortunately that means future save opportunities are less likely, and today it appears Manuel Corpas, Huston Street and Matt Belisle -- Matt Belisle! -- are all seemingly ahead of him in the pecking order.
That's right, even Belisle has sneaked into the late-inning mix, thanks to his tremendous performance since his conversion to the bullpen midway through last season. He has a 3.07 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 32 appearances this year, but the most pleasant surprise is his strikeout rate; he has 48 of them in 44 innings, or a 9.82 K's-per-nine ratio. Belisle even picked up a save in a tough assignment Tuesday versus the Red Sox, mainly to provide the inconsistent Corpas a breather and allow the veteran Street more time to get up to full speed in middle relief.
Accounting for those relievers' risk factors, Belisle might not have seen his last save chance in 2010. He's hardly "the closer," but in a column that discusses the most deserving candidates for the role, he at least warrants a mention. At the bare minimum, he'd be a handier ERA/WHIP/K's helper than Morales.

DUBLIN, Ohio -- As though the younger set wasn't already overrunning the game in the professional ranks, a freshman has won the prestigious Jack Nicklaus Award as the nation's top collegian, it was announced Sunday at the Memorial Tournament.
UCLA's Patrick Cantlay set a school record for lowest scoring average and helped lead his team into the match-play portion of the NCAA finals last week.
"It was a lot of fun, just going out and knowing I could compete, as a freshman," Cantlay said.
He did a lot more than just compete. Cantlay had four victories in his first college season and turned plenty of heads, becoming only the second player to take the Pac-10 honors as top player and best freshman, joining former USC star and Nicklaus Award winner Jamie Lovemark.
Cantlay joins an incredible array of past Nicklaus Award winners, including Tiger Woods, Stewart Cink, Phil Mickelson, David Duval, Luke Donald, Hunter Mahan and Justin Leonard, among other future PGA Tour players.
"You've got some pretty good players out of college who have been here for this award," Nicklaus said. "I'm honored to have my name on it."
Abilene Christian's Alex Carpenter, Chris Morris of Centre, Oscar Stark of Oklahoma Christian and Brand Garon of Meridian Community College were the winners in the other college divisions. Carpenter won the Southern Amateur last year.
Cantlay is the second UCLA player to win the award in the past three years, joining Kevin Chappell, the 2008 Nicklaus winner who is already playing on the PGA Tour and is in the Memorial field this week. Cantlay earlier won the Phil Mickelson Award as the nation's top freshman player.

Angara's PHSS bill close to approval
CONSIDERED as one of the missing links in the country's sports program, the Philippine High School for Sports Act of 2011 is now close to becoming a law.
Aurora Rep. Edgardo "Sonny" Angara yesterday said the bill, which he authored along with 28 others, is now on its third reading.
The bill aims to establish the country's first sports high school that will serve as a feeder of talents for the national team in its continuing search for the country's first Olympic gold medal.
"There's the National Games and the Batang Pinoy, but we are looking at the PHSS as a vehicle to provide these student-athletes with an opportunity to avail themselves of specialized education and training that are really geared toward their dreams of becoming great athletes in the future," said Angara.
The bill calls for the creation of a sports school, which will offer secondary school scholarships to student-athletes, he said.
Angara is pushing for the PHSS to be constructed near key cities that will be accessible to the best coaches and trainers, especially those working under the Philippine Sports Commission and the Philippine Olympic Committee.
The PHSS will be under the supervision of a board to be put up by the Department of Education, with representatives from sports associations and the private sector also getting representations.
"Other countries have their own version of a sports high school," Angara said. "We have lagged behind for decades in this area while we have long been trying to go grassroots."
The school will be given a seed fund of P50 million coming from the annual earnings of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp., to be supplemented by 10 percent of all unclaimed and forfeited sweepstakes and lotto prizes from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.
Angara also noted the country's dependence on Filipino athletes with foreign blood, calling the practice as a stop-gap measure that only hides the true state of sports development in the country.

10 simple steps (and pedals and rides) cities are taking to move beyond the automobile
In a magnificent mini-epic series, Streetfilms has created a handy, eye-catching primer to the most important transformation our cities need to create real sustainability.
Fri, May 06, 2011 at 05:58 PM
CAR-FREE LIVABILITY: A light-rail train races past transit-oriented development in Jersey City. (Photo: Hoboken condos/Flickr)
One of the most difficult hurdles in the quest for urban sustainability is a phenomenon that behavioral economist Dan Ariely calls the "endowment effect." Stated simply, the endowment effect refers to our innate tendency to massively overvalue the things we have over the things we stand to gain.
In Ariely's excellent and highly readable behavioral economics primer, "Predictably Irrational," he describes an experiment he conducted with students at Duke University who camped out for days to enter a lottery to win Blue Devils playoff basketball tickets. When Ariely asked a cross-section of the campers after the lottery what the tickets were worth, the students who won them gave them an average price of $2,400; those who lost the lottery were willing to pay an average of $170 for a ticket. There was literally not a single buyer who could agree with a single seller on an amenable price. In the moment of the lottery win, the tickets became impossibly valuable to the winners and merely a take-it-or-leave-it thing to the losers.
Urban drivers, it seems to me, are a roaring case study in the endowment effect, treating the everyday grind of gridlock and gas-pump price shock and the futile quest for a good parking space like precious commodities essential to urban living. I'm not sure how we completely overcome this sense of impending loss, but I have a hunch it begins by showing, in very tangible form, what cities look like —how valuable they can be — when you plan them around the needs of people instead of their cars. The fantastic documentary, "Moving Beyond the Automobile," available in 10 bite-sized episodes from the ever-excellent Streetfilms.org, provides just such a window on (liberated) city living after the car.
Each episode of the Streetfilms doc highlights a different tool in the post-car urban design toolbox, using concrete up-and-running examples from across urban America. The films mostly speak for themselves, but I'll highlight my three favorite lines from my three favorite episodes to give you a taste.
1. "Traffic Calming"
"Altering the infrastructure to create an even playing field, to force traffic to behave in a more civilized manner, is the way that it has to go" -- Mary Ann Smith, Chicago alderman
2. "Transit-Oriented Development"
"The communities that have access to fixed rail are going to be the richest in the coming century. I'm thoroughly convinced of that" -- Robert Cotter, Jersey City director of city planning
3. "The Right Price for Parking"
"If you have a scarce resource — parking spaces — and you have a lot of demand for that resource, the best way to manage that is to price it properly. That's a simple economic principle" - Matthew Roth, Streetsblog San Francisco contributor
Head on over to Streetfilms to watch the rest of the documentary. Happy less motoring!

Re: Pearson 26 bulkhead delamination
You will definitely be happier with the 303. Its a bit more 'robust' than the previous Pearson-Shaw designs and not subject to 'hull-flex' as are the P26 and P30.
That stated, its REAL important when blocking any Pearson that the jack stands are ON the bulkheads (put a mark on the waterline so the travel lift operator doesnt have to 'guess') and more importantly that AFT end of the keel is NOT blocked!!!! Only TWO blocks go under the keel when blocking - one at the front of the keel and the second placed
directly and vertically
below where the aft of the keel joins the hull. If you put a block under the extreme aft end of just about any Pearson keel ... you will get grotesque hull distortion!
Good Luck and enjoy your fine PEARSON !!!

President Pratibha Patil said the perception of science subjects being difficult was not correct and asked parents and teachers to dispel this fear from the minds of children.
"Parents and teachers can play a major role in creating interest in science (among children)," Ms. Patil said while presenting the Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research (INSPIRE) awards here.
"It is the method of teaching and creating the right conditions that will generate interest in the study of sciences in this country," she said.
She drew attention to two important areas such as skill building for teachers and adequate facilities in schools.
"As part of skill building, there should be professional training courses as well as refresher courses for teachers engaged in science education, given the rapid developments in this field. Secondly, adequate laboratory infrastructure in schools and colleges is essential for imparting good science education," she said.
Ms. Patil also reminded that programmes that encourage the pursuit of science disciplines are essential for a country of the dimension of India, which needs a large pool of scientists for meeting the challenges of the 21st Century.
Minister for Science and Technology and Earth Sciences Vilasrao Deshmukh also appealed to all responsible members of the society to nourish science.
The INSPIRE Award scheme targets encouraging about one million children in the age group of 10 to 15 years to innovate small science projects over a five year period.
A national level exhibition of school children has been organised in the capital in which more than two lakh students from schools all over the country participated.

Wednesday April 25, 2012
I WAS shocked and saddened to read "MPs rescue P. Ramlee's house" (The Star, April 20). While I felt relief at the show of kindness by some Barisan National MPs in ensuring that the legacy of Tan Sri P. Ramlee lives on, what I can't digest is why is this happening?
Every now and then we read about people and the authorities being concerned with the preservation and conservation of heritage.
And one case of heritage that's worth preserving is the legendary man himself - P. Ramlee.
Every Malaysian, irrespective of race, religion and creed, young or old, knows this giant of a man.
In fact, until this very day we still "live and breathe" P. Ramlee's great works of art, be it music or movies.
Many had made riches of what he left behind, both movies and music.
Yet this man who had contributed so much to the country did not benefit from his works.
To me, P. Ramlee was a pioneer who taught us about 1Malaysia long before the concept was even heard of.
We don't have many iconic personalities in the arts that can match P. Ramlee.
He had not left us much in terms of houses, cars and other worldly possessions. But he did leave us songs and movies that are repeatedly screened and played.
Now that P. Ramlee's house problem has caught the attention of the MPs and Umno Youth, resolve also the predicament faced by the showman's daughter-in-law over the quit rent arrears to City Hall.
Perhaps just waive the charges in tribute of his immense contributions to the nation at large.
We know the house in Penang where P. Ramlee was born (pic) is under the watchful eye and care of the archives department.
The house in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, too, should be turned into a sort of gallery cum studio housing all his music/movies under one roof.
The problem of family members living there can be settled by City Hall offering them available DBKL-managed apartments.
I feel ashamed to hear that many years after his death, problems related to copyright, let alone his little property, remain unsolved.
True to the Malay saying "Harimau mati meninggalkan belang; manusia mati meninggalkan nama".
P. Ramlee left only his name, but no material wealth.
Is this how we repay a multi-talented man who has given us "moments of great laughs and songs to sing the blues" from the 60s until this very day?
I guess Tan Sri P. Ramlee would have been a monumental figure had he been born either in Hollywood or Bollywood.

A United States senator has called on the federal government to completely ban Bitcoin.
Joe Manchin, a Democratic senator representing West Virginia, sent a letter to federal regulators, calling for a ban on the virtual currency.
In the letter, Manchin said Bitcoin attracts and enables criminals even as its value to the US economy is 'suspect, if not outright detrimental,' the Verge reports.
According to the report, Manchin noted this week's collapse of the largest Bitcoin currency exchange, Mt. Gox.
Manchin said he was most concerned that other countries such as Thailand, Russia, and China were cracking down on the Bitcoin, but America was still holding the bag on a valueless currency.

The Use of Genetically Modified Organisms in Agriculture
Despite the development of new agricultural species such as "Golden Rice" and pest resistant crops that make farming more effective and efficient, the use of genetically modified (GM) organisms has still been quite controversial. People often worry about the effects of consuming GM food on their health or the impacts of GM crops on the environment.
Robert Goldberg is a professor of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and one of the world's leading experts on Plant Genomics. He is also codirector of the Seed Institute, which is a partnership with the Plant Biotech Company Ceres Inc. The overarching goal of his scientific research is to understand how to make a seed by identifying and understanding the function of every gene in the plant chromosomes. Once these functions are understood, seeds can be genetically created to be bigger and/or more nutritious, which could greatly increase the world's food supply. The work in his laboratory currently focuses on how plant cells become specialized during development, which can eventually be used to develop new breeding strategies for hybrid crop plants.
Goldberg has received many awards and honors over the years for both his scientific research and teaching, including his recent election into the National Academy of Sciences. In addition, he just completed a documentary film project about the history of genetically modified organisms in agriculture titled Changing Nature: Where Food Came From.
Goldberg's talk is part of the series Critical Issues in the Environment, sponsored by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Roberts Environmental Center, and the David E. French lecture fund.

CC Sabathia strikes out 10 in complete game win over Mariners
Aug 3, 2012, 11:14 PM EDT
CC Sabathia and Russell Martin were paired together tonight for just the third time this season and the first time since April 11. We'll likely see them work together more often the rest of the way.
Sabathia allowed three runs on three hits and a walk in a complete game 6-3 victory over the Mariners tonight at Yankee Stadium. The southpaw struck out notched 10 strikeouts. The loss snapped a seven-game winning streak for the Mariners.
Sabathia actually held the Mariners to just one run until giving up a two-run homer to Dustin Ackley in the top of the ninth. Yankees manager Joe Girardi then came out to the mound to take his temperature, but the big southpaw stayed in the game and recorded the final three outs to finish off his second complete game of the season and the 35th of his career.
Curtis Granderson, Robinson Cano and Raul Ibanez all had RBI singles in the victory while Eric Chavez added a two-run homer which just made it over the outstretched glove of Eric Thames in right field. Chavez, who is filling in for the injured Alex Rodriguez at third base, now has double-digit homers for the first time since 2007. The 34-year-old actually left the game for precautionary reasons after tweaking his ankle during an at-bat in the eighth inning, but Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports that it's not believed to be serious.
Sabathia improved to 11-3 with the victory and now holds a 3.53 ERA and 133/34 K/BB ratio over 135 innings this season.

whodeytn – I don't think the Reds qualify as the best team in baseball. When you consider of their 65 wins so far this season 29 of them have come from the likes of Rockies, Astros, Brewers, Mets and Padres. I believe all with not only losing records by substantial losing records. Even in their own league the National are a better team, in my opinion. And yes I do think the Yankees are a better team then the Reds considering the level of competition the Yankees face versus the level of competition the Reds face overall.

The Yankees are not the best team in baseball. Definitely a playoff team that could win it all, but I wouldn't say best. In fact, I'm not sure any team stands out as the "best" this year.
- bigharold - Aug 4, 2012 at 6:21 PM
"So who is the best team? The Yankees?"
As a Yankee fan it might be expected that I say yes. But, in fact when the Yankees had the best record I wouldn't be foolish enough to say that then either. Two thirds of the way through the season, in the midst of the pennant race it's far too early to make that call.
