MLB may suspend A-Rod under labor dealBy RONALD BLUM
The Associated Press | July 30,2013AP File Photo
New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez warms up before a 2010 game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix.NEW YORK Major League Baseball may try to suspend Alex Rodriguez under its collective bargaining agreement instead of its drug rules, which would eliminate any chance of delaying a penalty until after the case goes to an arbitrator, The Associated Press has learned.
Rodriguez has never been disciplined for a drug offense, and a first offender under baseballs Joint Drug Agreement is entitled to an automatic stay if the players association files a grievance meaning the penalty is put on hold until after an arbitrator rules.
While use of banned performance-enhancing substances falls under the drug agreement, MLB may argue other alleged violations are punishable under the labor contract, a person familiar with managements deliberations told the AP, speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized.
Taking that action would prevent the New York Yankees third baseman from returning to the field, even if he recovers from a quadriceps injury cited by the team as the reason for keeping him on the disabled list. And merely threatening to use that provision might give MLB leverage to force a deal.
The Yankees expect Rodriguez to be accused of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, of attempting to obstruct MLBs investigation, and of not being truthful with MLB in the past when he discussed his relationship with Dr. Anthony Galea, who pleaded guilty two years ago to a federal charge of bringing unapproved drugs into the United States from Canada.
Four years ago, Rodriguez admitted using PEDs while with Texas from 2001-03. He has repeatedly denied using them since.
Baseball has been investigating Rodriguez and other players since a January report in the Miami New Times alleging they received PEDs from Biogenesis of America, a closed anti-aging clinic on Florida.
Were still involved in the process of preparing for an eventual appeal in this matter, Rodriguezs lawyer, David Cornwell, said Monday on ESPN New York Radio. My understanding is that the next step that is going to be taken is that the players association and baseball will meet to discuss the investigation and baseballs focus on particular players. So well see how that process plays out. But at this point my understanding or my expectation is that were going to be working through the process towards an appeal.
Cornwell did not return an email seeking comment.
Aside from the drug agreement, there is no automatic stay for suspensions under baseballs labor contract. Rodriguez could be punished under Article XII B of the Basic Agreement, which states: Players may be disciplined for just cause for conduct that is materially detrimental or materially prejudicial to the best interests of baseball including, but not limited to, engaging in conduct in violation of federal, state or local law.
If suspended under that section, Rodriguez would serve the penalty while a grievance is litigated before arbitrator Fredric Horowitz unless the union asks for a stay and the arbitrator grants one, which would be unusual under the grievance procedure. And baseball could always try to punish A-Rod on drug violations later.
Cornwell would not respond to a report in the New York Daily News on Monday that said baseball Commissioner Bud Selig would not pursue a lifetime ban if Rodriguez accepted a suspension through 2014.
Theres been all sorts of reports, all sorts of sources and all sorts of breaking news and breathless coverage, and I dont feel any need to respond to any of it, Cornwell told ESPN.
In announcing Ryan Brauns 65-game suspension last week, MLB cited violations of both the labor contract and drug agreement.
A person familiar with that deal, speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized, said 50 games of the penalty for the 2011 NL MVP were connected to Biogenesis. The additional 15 games stemmed from the Milwaukee outfielders actions during the grievance that overturned his October 2011 positive test for testosterone.
Cornwell represented Braun in the 2012 hearing before arbitrator Shyam Das but said he was not involved in Brauns agreement to be suspended.
Rodriguez, who turned 38 Saturday, has not played this season following hip surgery in January. The three-time AL MVP, fifth on the career list with 647 home runs, appeared to be on the verge of rejoining New York on July 22, but the Yankees said a day earlier that an MRI revealed a strained quadriceps.
Rodriguez pushed to be activated last Friday, but the Yankees said he wouldnt even resume a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment until Aug. 1. Rodriguez then went on a New York radio station to criticize the teams decision.MORE IN Wire SportsLONDON The new leader of Bostons troubled bid for the 2024 Olympics assured the IOC that local...

Eating and drinking with friends makes for a much better Friday night than eating your friends and drinking alone. Gather a crowd with this Groupon.
$15 for $30 Worth of Wood-Fired Pizza, Gourmet Burgers, and Drinks
The menu includes a bacon-gorgonzola burger topped with italian bleu cheese, caramelized onions, and garlic aioli ($10.50), a wood-fired pizza crowned with wood-roasted sausage and fresh mozzarella ($11), and the house's specialty pork and beef meatballs served with wood-smoked tomato sauce ($7).
My Other Bar
Dark woods dominate the décor at My Other Bar, a stark contrast to the bar top, which is covered in license plates from across the country. That spirit of travel pervades the menu: an eclectic hodgepodge of small plates, wood-fired pizzas, and gourmet burgers. A number of dishes pass through My Other Bar's wood oven, which bakes portobello mushrooms stuffed with goat cheese and pies such as the salami-, roasted tomato-, and red chili-topped pomodorini e diavola.
Pizzas can also be customized with ingredients such as roasted chicken, goat cheese, and baby and tween arugula. The same goes for customizable half-pound burgers, whose toppings include fried eggs and artichokes. Red and white wines, top-shelf spirits, and seasonal draft beers complement feasts, which energize patrons for rounds of billiards on My Other Bar's twin pool tables or games in its modest arcade.
The menu explores Central and South America as well as the Caribbean with small plates such as slow-roasted pork tamales and shrimp ceviche with cucumber, radish, onions, and fresh lime juice. Dark-chocolate ice cream and a moist banana tres leches cake end meals on a sweet note, following sips of a modified mojito made with house-infused pineapple rum.
When most people go on vacation, they return with souvenirs for friends. But when Chef Alex Gurevich traveled to Latin America, he came back with a plan. Inspired by the rich cultural traditions in the eclectic cuisine he sampled, Gurevich decided to create a space that embraced the spirit of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. The result: Limón, and the fresh, cultural-blending novoandino style of cooking that fills its menu. And it hasn't gone unnoticed. Shortly after opening, 5280 magazine praised the eatery's devotion to bold, yet accessible flavors, placing Limón on its list of Denver's Best New Restaurants in 2006.
The menu's shareable small plates are divided into three sections, each featuring classic dishes as well as refined interpretations of staples from a specific region. Grilled skirt steak with chimichurri sauce and empanadas stuffed with corn and black beans evoke the flavors of Argentina while the ropa vieja's slow-roasted shredded beef stamps diners' passports and pushes them on a plane to Cuba. Even the drink menu transcends borders, with its caipirinhas—Brazil's famously simple cocktail of cachaça, muddled lime, and cane sugar—alongside more familiar margaritas with house-made sweet-and-sour mix.
The exposed brickwork and mocha-brown walls of Limón's dining area create the same sense of warmth and coziness as the menu. Dark wooden tables nestle against high-backed, terracotta-red booths or an avocado-green half wall, while other seats border the front wall's picturesque windows. At night, the sconces, teardrop-shaped pendant lamps, and burning piles of unnecessary travel guides light the space, lending a soft glow to the entire room.

NFL: Denver Broncos hand fading Baltimore Ravens their third straight defeat
The Denver Broncos heaped more misery on the slumping Baltimore Ravens with a 34-17 triumph at the M&T Bank Stadium.
Last Updated: 16/12/12 11:39pm
Quarterback Peyton Manning, who threw for 204 yards and a touchdown, recorded his ninth successive win over the Ravens, pushing the Broncos, already certain of winning the AFC West, to 11-3 for the season.
In contrast, Baltimore are slipping backwards at the wrong time. Not even a change of offensive coordinator could stop them slipping to a straight loss.
Under the new stewardship of Jim Caldwell, who replaced the fired Cam Cameron, they mustered just 119 yards of offense in the first half, failing to score a solitary point.
They did look set to get on the board when they drove deep into Denver territory late in the second quarter, only for a Joe Flacco pass intended for Anquan Boldin to be picked off and returned to the other end zone by Chris Harris.
That defensive score put the Broncos 17-0 up at half time, adding to a 27-yard Matt Prater field goal that broke the deadlock and a one-yard scoring run from Jacob Hester.
They put the game to bed when Manning connected with Eric Decker on a 51-yard TD throw, while Knowshon Moreno piled more misery on Baltimore by going in on the ground from six yards out, making it 31-3.
Tail-back Moreno finished the game with 118 yards rushing on 22 carries.
Flacco made the final scoreline look a little better with two touchdown passes to tight end Dennis Pitta, the second of them a 61-yard play, but the Ravens must now reverse their recent slide if they are to make it to the post-season.

On Wine: Leon Santoro was a visionary about county's wine potential
Certainly the nearby Fallbrook winery took notice. Proprietor Ira Gourvitz invested heavily in new plantings of syrah just five years ago, and the young vines are now making Fallbrook's finest wine.
I know it would have been only a matter of time before Leon realized his dream. This energetic and visionary man would never sit still, never rest until he got where he wanted to be. That he simply ran out of time is both sad and cruel.
We can all learn from the life of Leone Santoro. He never accepted the wisdom of experts as gospel. He had the audacity to believe anything was possible. Yet Leon had the humility to admit, sometimes sheepishly, that at least a few of his ideas might be a little bit crazy. They were. But I will miss that.
Leon, my friend, rest in peace.

"Was Once A Steel City" Top 5 Page for this destination Newcastle by aussiedoug
Newcastle Travel Guide: 347 reviews and 613 photos
To explain "Was Once A Steel City", I first visited Newcastle as a part of of a High School excursion (field trip to you Americans) to visit the then two most important industries of the area. Firstly, the Oak Diary Products factory near Hexham just out of Newcastle then the BHP Steelworks which for so many years were the lifeblood of Newcastle. Unfortunately these steelworks that were so important to this city also caused a lot of air pollution in particular that made the suburbs around it, including the city centre of Newcastle, a less than desireable place in my opinion.
I've been to Newcastle 3 times in the last 3 years & hold it in much higher esteem than I did back then. Twice I have worked with teachers at Noah's on the Beach, overlooking Newcastle City Beach & just a week or so ago spent a few nights here while my wife was attending a conference. This was a great opportunity to have a bit more of an indepth look at Newcastle.
I, along with many Novocastrians wondered what would happen to Newcastle when BHP closed down the Steelworks some years back.
Well today the air is much cleaner & one of the things I really enjoyed was seeing so many ships coming in and out of the Hunter River into this very busy port. Staying at the Crowne Plaza in the newly developed (& still growing) Honeysuckle Precinct, right on the river/harbour afforded my girls & I plenty of opportunities to watch the wonderful tugboats helping ships in and out of this port.
This particular photo of the ship, "Cupid Feather" was one of over 20 I took of a number of different ships over the 2 and half days we were there
Yes I think today Newcastle is still reinventing itself , many respects in the 10 or so years since the Steelworks closed down. It's an interesting place with some interesting history, some excellent beaches & some good shopping, eating & coffee options, particularly in Darby Street.
Now the pressure is on me to add some more tips so I'd best get cracking! lol!
- In a nutshell:Definitely worth a visit

newcastle is a great place isn't it - full of charm
I look at your pics of that glorious coastline and imagine what it must have been like before mankind came along. Awesome cliffs and beaches.
Did you know that Nobbys is going to be an upmarket B&B and restaurant? Also, when Newcastle was at its dirtiest the air was still 9 times cleaner than Sydney's?
Tx for stopping by my Paris page. Just had to check out this page - stopped off in Newcastle some years ago, just 'cos of the name. The English Newcastle is 1 of my favourite cities and my husband's home town. Adding photos and tips soon I hope ;-)
Over the last 20 or so years I haven't visited Newcastle or anywhere near the beaches, but I can see that it is a lot cleaner than it was in the old days. I did stop over at Maitland in '97 though. Carole.
Newcastle was my home 4 a while & u've written it up pretty well.
Lived in Newcastle for a while & found Darby Street pretty cool to hang out in.
As a one time Novocastrian I can say this is not a bad write up Doug. Not bad some travelling with work is it!
did you hear Andrew Johns is quitting League? what a loss, I like the Guy from Newcastle great surf pic. Doug you have a fine imagination..Mount Saint Michel..Nobby's Head, made me giggle..good on ya matey!!
Well, I would like to go there during the time of the Surfest :))) And I always get hungry when I read your restaurant tips :)))))

A stunning debut that reveals one of the most hiddencorners of Iranian culture
So they carry on in secret-until Nasrin''s parents announce that they''ve arranged for her marriage. Nasrin tries to persuade Sahar that they can go on as they have been, only now with new comforts provided by the decent, well-to-do doctor Nasrin will marry. But Sahar dreams of loving Nasrin exclusively-and openly.
Then Sahar discovers what seems like the perfect solution. In Iran,homosexuality may be a crime, but to be a man trapped in a woman''s body is seen as nature''s mistake, and sex reassignment is legal and accessible. As a man, Sahar could be the one to marry Nasrin. Sahar will never be able to love the one she wants, in the body she wants to beloved in, without risking her life. Is saving her love worth sacrificing her true self?

Plane 'malfunction' forces Bruins to fly back to Boston on Monday
|05.12.13 at 11:57 pm ET
Things simply went from bad to worse after a Game 6 loss that forced the Bruins to a winner-take-all Game 7 in Boston Monday night.
Not only will the tired Bruins be playing three games in four nights, they will be forced to fly on the morning of their most important game of the season due to trouble with their charter plane Sunday night in Toronto.
The Bruins issued the following statement from general manager Peter Chiarelli.
"Late during [Sunday's] game we were made aware that there was a malfunction with our airplane. As a result we are staying in Toronto on Sunday night and the team will travel to Boston on Monday morning."
The Bruins will not have a morning skate but instead have select players available to the media at 4:30 p.m. with coach Claude Julien speaking to reporters about an hour later.
Face-off is set for 7 p.m. Monday night at TD Garden, as the Bruins try to avoid the indignity of blowing 3-1 series lead, three years after losing a 3-0 advantage to the Flyers.

The easy way to Rangitotos summit
My personal recommendation is to walk to the summit yourself if you possibly can. If you are moderately fit and able it is an easy walk, taking around 2 hours to complete the round trip (longer, of course, if you explore, take photos, and generally take your time). Fairly new boardwalks make the previously difficult lava fields a breeze. However, for those who would find the going difficult, or who have young children with them, the tractor-pulled train will take you almost to the summit, leaving just a short stretch of boardwalk to the very top.
You can arrange this as part of your ferry ticket price. It is certainly a popular option, so can be busy during holiday periods.
Incidentally, the crater rim at the top of Rangitoto has a narrow, unmade path around it's edge. It is quite safe, and an easy, short side trip worth taking while you are at the top.

Ferries from Auckland to Rangitoto
Ferries connect the volcanic island of Rangitoto with downtown Auckland several times each day.
I caught one of these ferries, operated by "Fullers", for a day-trip during my visit to Auckland in March 2006. The following information is correct as of that date:
Ferries to Rangitoto depart from Auckland's ferry building daily at 9:15am, 12:15pm and 3pm. They return to Auckland at 9:45am, 12:45pm and 3:30pm. There is an additional ferry from Rangitoto to Auckland at 5pm on weekends.
Journey time
The journey between Auckland and Rangitoto takes approximately 30 minutes (via a short stop to pick-up passengers at Devonport).
Adults: 18.40 NZD return
Children: 10.40 NZD return
As Rangitoto is practically uninhabited and there is nowhere on the island to purchase tickets, you must purchase a return ticket at Auckland.
Getting to Rangitoto Island
I am very fortunate - some friends dropped me off at Rangitoto from their boat and picked me up later after I had climbed it and they had enjoyed a days fishing. However, you can get there just as easily via the local Fullers Ferry. From the Downtown Auckland ferry terminal, it takes about half an hour to reach Rangitoto, or you can also get here from some of the more outlying marinas, such as Half Moon Bay, Waiheke Island and Pine Harbour.
Let's assume you will come from Auckland. The Fullers Ferry departs regularly and offers you the option of either a basic return fare, or a guided tour including a tractor-pulled ride up the slopes to just below the summit (see next tip). The basic return fare is $20 per adult, with open same-day return times, and the guided island tour package is a heftier $50 per adult.
The Fullers website below will give you ferry departure times.
- Sailing and Boating
- Hiking and Walking
- Adventure Travel
Getting to the Island
There are a number of private ferries who run trips to Rangitoto Wharf . You can either ' do it yourself' and just take the ferry ride (around NZ$20 – family tickets are also available), or you can book a tour which includes a tour of the island as well. Ferry's depart from Devonport Wharf and the Ferry Terminal in Quay St, downtown Auckland.

I truly enjoyed my CMO 2.0 Influencer conversation with Tom Asacker - who I consider a friend and also admire as an original marketing thinker. Tom is the author of multiple books, including Opportunity Screams: Unlocking Hearts and Minds in Today's Idea Eco..., and also blogs at A Clear Eye. Before becoming a successful author and speaker, Tom started his career at GE, where he participated in a management buyout of an electronics firm. After that he became the founder and CEO for a medical devices company.
The first topic we tackled is that of marketing in a world where everyone, including executives, is increasingly overwhelmed with the amount of information that is coming at them. Tom is convinced that most executives need to pause and rethink their purpose and how they will execute that purpose. While the priorities of marketing have not changed all that much - drive top line growth and grow marketshare -, those are results that come from understanding and feeding the hungers of your audiences and the customer insights, and from better defining one's brand and how to deliver a differentiated value proposition. Marketing executives cannot optimize their way to success by measuring everything and everyone to death. They need to care deeply about their audience and create unique value that improves their audience's lives. You cannot expect results from spreading messages all over the place hoping that somehow you will connect with the feelings of your audience - you have to really care.
Marketers also have to rethink their content, and develop it in a way that it will travel in those circles where buying recommendations are being made. That means that we have to understand what value people will derive from using the content we develop with others. After all, most people only do what they value - and that is true for making recommendations and reusing vendor content. Marketers need to switch from their traditional inside-out perspective and start looking at everything they do through the eyes of their audiences.
People need to realize that everything in the marketplace has changed - the amount of products and services is overwhelming, and the amount of information is overwhelming, buyers' attitudes about how they filter and process information and how they are making their decisions has changed.
Next we switched to one of Tom's favorite topics - branding. Branding is of course something that exists in the mind of a customer - it's an expectation of value that gets created through interactions in the marketplace. Those interactions can include advertising, pricing, social exchanges with other users, packaging, financing options or interactions with company employees. As you can see, many of these interactions are happening with touch points that are somewhat controlled by the company. So to say that the consumer owns the brand is a fallacy. Tom wishes we would have a Deming-like figure in the branding space - someone who could influence how everyone in a company feels responsible for the brand.
About engagement, Tom said: "People at successful companies love what they do, they believe in what it is they get up in the morning and go to work to do every day. Secondly they love who they do it for; the're interested in in their audience and what they're all about and how to improve their lives and how to make things better. And the third thing, is which I call engagement, is that they like the process of keeping what they do and what they love connected to others: others' interest and others' values. They love the idea of injecting energy into their idea and bringing it to life for everyone's benefit." How is that for a definition of engagement? Much better than most definitions being bantered around in the agency space if you ask me.
Continuing on the topic of engagement, Tom described the three steps you need to follow to engage people - three steps that are described in more detail in his latest book "Opportunity Screams: Unlocking Hearts and Minds in Today's Idea Eco...." The first step is you want to engage people's conscious attention. How do you get someone to stop and think about what's being presented? You do that by charming them and by providing some cue to value. Once you feed their hungers and you're reflective of them and their self-identities, you entice them to participate. All they want to do then is believe, and you can help them believe in what you do by conveying purpose through your actions, by stimulating interaction and sharing like you discuss all the time. But you always have to have value and unfortunately most businesses don't believe in the distinctive value they add to people's lives.
You cannot have a conversation with Tom without talking about culture and so we talked about this whole notion that culture trumps strategy, and what that means for older companies that may not have ideal cultures to roll out new strategies. In older companies you often have what Tom calls cultural immune systems that end up blocking new ideas and new perspectives. Leaders need to be aware of this and be willing to take off their cultural glasses and expose themselves to new ideas (Note that we will be conducting a research project on culture and strategy in partnership with the Schulich School of Business at York University, email me if interested).
"Business is about people, it's about culture, it's about feelings, it's a way to help people feel prosperity and well being. It's not about numbers," said Tom, and I must say that I could not agree more. We talked about a lot more things than can be captured in this blog post. I hope you will find the time to listen to the podcast.

LAWRENCEVILLE - Gwinnett's senior state senator took power Wednesday over a national group of legislators.Sen. Don Balfour, R-Snellville, took office as president of the National Conference of State Legislators. He is the first Georgia legislator to head the conference, which advocates for state lawmakers before Congress. "I have dedicated my political career to serving the people of Georgia, and am humbled by the opportunity to serve the states of this nation as president of such an esteemed organization," Balfour said. "NCSL is at the forefront of bringing state legislatures together to develop public policy that will strengthen our country and the lives of its citizens. I look forward to working with state leaders from across the nation to enhance the state legislatures' influence in the federal system." Balfour, who is chairman of the powerful Senate Rules Committee, served as vice president of the conference before taking the helm this week during the group's annual summit in Philadelphia. "This is truly a great day for our state," Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle said. "Sen. Balfour is one of our strongest and most experienced senators with over 17 years championing conservative policy and representing his Gwinnett constituents admirably. Now heading one of the most prominent legislative organizations in the nation, Sen. Balfour's expertise and forward-thinking mindset give NCSL a tremendously capable leader who will do an outstanding job as president." A couple of Balfour's other colleagues also sounded off on the position. "Sen. Balfour is a driving force in some of the most important political issues facing our state," said Sen. Eric Johnson, who is running for governor. "I greatly respect his commitment and dedication to serving our citizens. We are lucky to have such a seasoned leader representing the state of Georgia in one of the most influential legislative organizations. The states are getting a strong leader at NCSL as we face record deficits and unemployment challenges." Buford's Sen. Renee Unterman also praised the fellow Republican. "Throughout my years in the Senate, I have watched him fiercely champion the issues that are important to his constituents," she said. "He is committed to doing all he can to help those he represents, and I am confident that he will serve as NCSL president with the same determination and convictions that have made him a cornerstone in the Georgia legislature."

Custard Jelly Tart Recipe
8 to 10 servings
60 Minutes
The Custard Jelly Tart Recipe is a classic simple tricolored delicacy that was a childhood favorite dessert. This jelly tart is a three layered dessert, with a biscuit crust at the bottom, custard with fruits in the middle and your favorite jelly on the top. Simply delicious.
Pan Used: Square Cake Pan
Equipment Used: Food Processor
3 cups of plain marie biscuit (made into crumbs using a food processor)
1/2 cup butter
Ingredients for the Jelly Layer
1 packet of a strawberry jelly mix
Ingredients for the Vanilla Custard Layer
5 tablespoons custard powder
4 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar (extra if you like it sweeter)
Ingredients for the Biscuit Layer
Method for the Biscuit Layer
Make crumbs of the biscuit using the food processor. Lightly grease a square 8 inch pan. Combine the biscuit crumbs and butter in a bowl. Using a flat spatula or a glass, press the crumb mixture into the base of the pan. Refrigerate the biscuit crust for 1 hour.
Method for Custard Layer
Place the custard powder, milk and sugar in a saucepan and stir well until the flour is dissolved well. Turn the heat to medium, stir the mixture continuously until the custard begins to thicken. Making sure there are no lumps formed. Once thickened, turn off the heat and allow the custard to cool completely.
Method for the Jelly Layer
Prepare the jelly according to the instructions and allow it to cool slightly.and pour the jelly mixture on top of the custard mixture. Now refrigerate for 4 hours.
Final Assembly of the Tart
Once the vanilla custard is cooled after it has been prepared, spread the custard on top of the biscuit mixture and refrigerate for 2 hours. You could mix some fruits like pineapple into the custard to add more flavor and taste.
After a couple of hours when the custard layer is set, pour the jelly mixture on top of the custard mixture and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours until the jelly has set completely.
Once the Custard Jelly Tart is set, cut the tart into small squares and serve.

Ballertainment Lakers fans pull no punches with Twitter remarks to Mark Cuban Mark Cuban doesn't have the most favorable relationship with Los Angeles Lakers fans. That should be of no surprise, as he is the owner of the rivaling Dallas Mavericks. The flack he caught during and after the two teams met Tuesday night, though, may come as a surprise to you. Cuban was present at the game at Staples Center and received some very vulgar and disrespectful tweets from apparent Lakers fans, which he freely shared by "retweeting" them. Basically, he was called some unflattering names and told in all sorts of ways that his team sucked. I tried to choose a tweet to display that might be SFW, but it just wasn't possible, so you can view them yourself on Cuban's Twitter timeline. On a night that was full of class with the retiring of Shaquille O'Neal's jersey, this display of ignorance leaves much to be desired about fandom. Cuban is often complicit and dishes out his fair share of smack talk and takes digs at the Lakers organization, having reportedly referred to Phil Jackson as the "

Attendance is up. Clearly the people don't want replay. Bud Selig wisdom.
You will never see a better throw, wow.
Maybe an overstatement, but still...
Thanks for coming, Bray
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
In a game this close, it's unacceptable.
Instant replay needs to be expanded. Now.
Good opportunity for Baker to go all Bull Durham on an umpire and get tossed. Then throw some bats in the locker room.

Bray has not been a help since returning
I used to defend Dusty. It's actually amazing how bad he is. My wife knows Drew Stubbs should be batting 8th at best, and I would consider her baseball knowledge a "2" on a 1-10 scale. (Her looks are much better though. Ha.)
Actually, when Leake is pitching, Stubbs should bat 9th. Not even close to joking.
at least my prediction of 88 wins looks like it should hold up

Not saying it is what I would do right now, but of Bray was released I wouldn't lose an ounce of sleep.

Several new restaurants opening in former dining spots, with unique touches to help them stand out
Location: Belmont Park, Mission Beach
Sample dishes: Lobster roll, skirt steak Japanese style with chimichurri sauce, chicken osso bucco
Price range: $5 to $19
Cost to develop: $1 million
Location: 3926 30th St., North Park
Opening date: October
Price range: $10 to $15
Sample dishes: Possibilities include a roast beef sandwich, corn dog, a meat satay
Cost to develop: More than $500,000
Location: Liberty Station, Point Loma
Opening date: Aug. 27
Sample dishes: Braised short ribs served over "craisin"-infused mashed potatoes with a red-wine sauce; jidori chicken breast marinated in orange juice served over rosemary roasted potatoes.
Price range: $7 to $20
Cost to develop: $100,000
Think Belmont Park, and visions of carnival games, a wooden roller coaster, and edible fare like cotton candy, burgers and soft-serve ice cream likely come to mind. Think again. Add to the list of attractions sushi and duck confit served in a rooftop setting ringed with outdoor fire pits.
The new operators of the Mission Beach park are upgrading the dining options, beginning with a new Pacific Rim-inspired restaurant designed for a long-vacant space overlooking the boardwalk. Cannonball, as it's called, opened last month, although build out of the entire 5,000-square-foot space will not be unveiled until the middle of next month.
"The way it had been done in the past was quick and easy, so we stepped back and hired a young designer to take advantage of that great view," said Brett Miller, CEO of Eat Drink Sleep, which partnered with operator Pacifica Enterprises to develop all of Belmont Park's food and beverage venues. "If you're on the southwest corner of the building, you can see all of Mission Bay, downtown, Point Loma and beyond."
Developed by the same team that brought the hip restaurant, JRDN, to Pacific Beach, Cannonball is one of several new eateries debuting in San Diego in the coming months, each occupying neighborhood spaces where now-closed eateries had been operating.
Fig Tree Cafe will open its third outlet in Liberty Station, taking the place of a former Hawaiian barbecue restaurant. And the former North Park home of El Take It Easy and its short-lived successor, Hubcap, will be replaced with a new concept that will incorporate 1980s-era arcade games into the design.
Here's a preview of each of the new San Diego eateries.
A large sushi bar will be the centerpiece of this new rooftop venue, but the main draw has to be the expansive view of the coastline and boardwalk below.
The whimsical design tries to evoke a poolside setting with low walls plastered to mimic a pool's edge and warnings like "No running," and "Lifeguard off duty" embedded in the mosaic tile on the wall's face. There are even blue and yellow lane dividers you'd find in a pool suspended above the bar.
"We're trying to convey the feeling of being in a wading pool," Miller said. "We have round cutouts that look like a Jacuzzi that are actually seating areas with fire pits."
So intent were the operators on providing an unobstructed ocean view that they replaced five vertical posts supporting the bar's roof with costly steel support beams under the overhang, Miller said.

Editors Note: I wrote this post almost a year ago and it's stayed in the hopper until now. Stevie was one of the first people I met in Redmond when I moved here to take on the role of "storyteller". Sharon Chan's profile of Stevie ran on the front page of The Seattle Times this week so I figured it was time to dust this post off. Be sure to check out Sharon's post though…she's a far better writer than I am!
Steven Bathiche wouldn't be out of place in GQ magazine – he's a sharp dude and way too photogenic for the geek stereotype. When I arrived in Redmond a few months back, he was pretty much the first person I tracked down as I'd heard he was working on some interesting stuff in his hardware lab – I'd also read about a keynote he gave at Display Week titled Breaking the Fourth Wall. I was intrigued.
It turns out everybody calls him "StevieB" (distinct from SteveB). He's a soft- spoken guy with a massive passion for pushing the boundaries of technology. When we sat down for coffee he told me about The Mothmobile – a project he worked on in college that hooked up neural electrodes to flying hawk moth to drive a motor (seriously). A little more in my realm, he explained that during one of two internships at Microsoft he worked on what eventually became the Sidewinder Freestyle Pro controller – arguably the first gesture based gaming controller. Given this history, I wasn't surprised to hear that Stevie helped with Kinect.
The Applied Sciences Group in which Stevie works, started way back in 1999 and has quietly contributed some impressive and important technologies across the company – Microsoft Surface, optical laser tracking technology for our mice products and the much under publicized Sidewinder X4 keyboard to name a few. They're a big part of the Natural User Interface (NUI) revolution that is underway and their site is gives you a "who's who" of the team and shows some of the projects they've worked on and have underway.
When Stevie asked if I'd like a tour of their lab I tried to remain nonchalant as I said "yeah, OK" but I think I got to my feet a little too quickly to hide my excitement. For someone like me, it's like being invited in to Aladdin's cave and as I walked around, I attempted to nod sagely at the right moments. During the tour, a technology known as "the Wedge" stood out. It was part of the Display Week keynote Stevie gave and in simple terms, the wedge allows images to be "steered". It can be used to create a display that can "see" as well as display or enable an LCD panel that can display multiple perspective views by "steering pixels" depending on your angle of view. It's cool stuff, trust me.
Meeting Stevie was a blast and after an hour or so in the lab I walked away amazed by what I'd seen and vowed that I would be back for more. As I sat and wrote up some notes from the tour, it made me think of a book I read many years ago – Where Wizards Stay Up Late. It's a great book that chronicles the origins of the Internet. Wizards seemed like an apt title for Stevie and the Applied Sciences team.
I've also posted numerous other entries here on /Next that have touched in Stevie's work since I first wrote this

Amazing cottages on the beach. Fantastic place to stay!
5 su gennaio 21, 2015
This is a very special place that quickly takes the city out of one's nerves and supplants one gently in to a state of relaxation and serenity with sounds of light ocean breeze, melodic sounds of surf and birdsong. We stayed in bungalow 4 (furtherest from the restaurant) and had as much privacy as we wanted, yet were only steps away from nightly entertainment, great food and drink. Five nights in any one location normally is the longest we want to stay; Lava Lava is now the exception as five nights is not near enough. Staff will pamper, the bungalow is thoughtfully planned and equipped with everything you could possibly need, and the outdoor shower is an absolute indulgence for the senses and soul. Quality abounds and mother nature beyond expectation takes care of the rest. We cannot wait to return ~

We stayed in the cottage furthest away from the restaurant and it was the most private and secluded. Tucked away in the Kiawi trees and beach goers (public beach) tended to not set up in front of this cottage as they did in the 1st too. Plus we were further away from the nightly music.... which was pleasant, but not so loud. HUGE outdoor shower,, very private and the linens in the bed were first class. Each evening at 5pm, we were delivered a small appetizer and cocktail for the both of us, and they supplied a complimentary fruit and banana bread in the evening for next morning. You are REALLY just steps from the ocean. We Paddle boarded every day...one day twice. Swimming was Awesome, there is an abundance of coral, turtles and fish to snorkel over. I would return here again and have highly recommended if to my friends.

Imagine waking to breakfast in bed (that was left in your fridge), drinking Kona coffee & watching outriggers paddle by from your own beach front cottage steps from the sea! Unbelievable charm in every detail from the outdoor shower area to wifi, pillow choices, evening hors d'oeurves & breakfast fruit delivered to the "hale" each day. We swam with turtles & a manta ray right in front of the restaurant! Gorgeous beach walk in either direction with many photo ops! We sat on our own lanai each evening drinking our Gilligan's Girl & Huggo's Mai Tais listening to great, live music overlooking the entire bay! The restaurant right on the water with an unbelievable menu is outstanding. Staff is well trained and professional but also engaging. Truly a magical experience not to be missed! Stayed an extra night! Hated to leave......

We stayed for two nights in the Hale Nalu Cottage and truly enjoyed ourselves. The cottages are steps from the water and right down the beach from the Lava Lava Restaurant and Bar. The cottage was clean and pleasant, and the early afternoon snack and early evening appetizers were a wonderful extra perk. The option of the indoor shower or the completely private and enclosed outdoor shower was a great touch. Staff were pleasant and friendly. The blue tooth speaker in the room was great for us to hook up our personal music players, and the live music in the evenings from the restaurant was very enjoyable. Kings and Queens Shops were in comfortable walking distance, allowing for shopping and other eating selections. Sunsets, the sound of the waves, birds in the trees, all blended to provide a fabulous experience. We will return!

This location was outstanding. We enjoyed the outdoor shower so you had a true tropical experience. The entire staff, check in, housekeeping, wait staff and managers were so helpful, kind and fun! The bed linens were dreamy. The pupus were good and something always different. A perfect place to relax so close to the beach. We will be back for sure!

Enjoyed the stay. The only thing I would suggest is a routine daily cleaning by staff of rooms for new towels, etc.

Relaxing and beautiful cottages. My family loved spending time on the outside lanai of Hale Nalu. The view of the ocean was breath taking. We also enjoyed the happy hour drinks and pupu that was personally brought to out cottage. It was a nice touch.
