It's not only civilians who are vulnerable to the menaces of the Web. In the late '90s a group of analysts at the National Security Agency launched a war game called Eligible Receiver, in which they downloaded easily accessible software from hacker websites to see what kind of damage they could do. They determined that it would be possible to shut down the U.S. electrical power grid and disable the command-and-control elements of the U.S. Pacific Command. Not only could the FBI and the Pentagon not foil the simulated attacks, the chain of proxy servers was such that they couldn't even identify where all but one of the attacks were coming from. When Congress's General Accounting Office released its annual Computer Security Report Card for 2003, the Department of Defense received a D. Homeland Security got an F.
If a sort of arms race between the good guys and the bad guys has developed with respect to Internet technology, it's clear that the bad guys have a decisive head start. Big bureaucracies are uniquely ill equipped to keep up with rapidly evolving technologies. Stubborn institutional culture, clogged channels of communication, and the sheer number of employees in American law enforcement and intelligence agencies make it difficult to shift with the technological sands. Last month it emerged that the FBI had undertaken a $170 million overhaul of its antiquated computer systemswhich will likely be abandoned because of technical problems.
In 2002 four Microsoft engineers published a paper in which they coined the term the "darknet." This was essentially an extensive and opaque Internet black market, "not a separate physical network but an application and protocol layer riding on existing networks," in which peer-to-peer sharing and other forms of piracy succeeded in flouting copyright laws and distributing material that was effectively contraband. Today it is obvious that the dark side of the Internet is much more extensiveand much more dangerousthan this initial interpretation suggested. Terrorists have strong incentives to master new technologies and exploit this country's 159 million Internet users in a virtual game of hide-and-seek.
What is most extraordinary and ironic about this predicament is that developments that throughout the 1990s we tended to think of as unequivocally goodthe free flow of information and ideas, the exponential acceleration of communications, the "borderless" quality of the Internetnow appear to cut both ways, to have a dramatic downside. The dark regions of the Internet have allowed Al Qaeda to reconstitute itself as a virtual terrorist group, one that is beginning, through its masterful distribution of propaganda, to resemble not so much an organization as a movement, and one that has used America's accelerated rate of technological growth to its own advantage. The only option for law enforcement and intelligence agencies is to become more skilled with network security technologiesor to hire those who already are. Three years after his release, Kevin Mitnick was allowed to use the Internet. He set up a computer security consultancy. Perhaps the Department of Homeland Security should look him up.

So I've decided to upload my line art images for people to use as bases! I've always loved using bases and stuff, so I guess this sort of falls under this category. Exciting, right? I only do line art/bases for anime/cartoon style stuff.

Dear Scarlette, You're killin' me, smalls. The other day I had you by the ankle, dangling upside over the edge of the bed. We were all tucked in together when you suddenly decided to show us your somersaults, which really are very impressive if you don't take off points for things like "depth perception." Yesterday I caught you just as you started to flip head over feet out of your crib. Because of your daredevil tendencies, I've picked up both some amazing reflexes and an increase in raised eyebrows from strangers as they "tut-tut" over your latest black eye. Plus, I don't even want to talk about how it's time to move you to a toddler bed. … [Read more...]
Brave Little Girl
Over the past couple of weeks we've been dealing with some health issues, nothing huge, just some prematurity complications that I had thought we had under control. I won't go into specific details here because it involves things like G.I. specialists and one day Scarlette will be a teenager and I don't want her being all "MOTHER! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WROTE ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET WHEN I WAS TWO!" I sat in another doctor's office on Friday morning and after holding her down for an uncomfortable exam, I held her to me as I wished away all of her pain. I thought about all of the times she's been stung by needles and held down for exams and … [Read more...]
Happy 2nd Birthday Scarlette!
Dear Scarlette, Today you turn two years old. When I asked you how old you are, you put you chin in your hand, wrinkled your nose in thought and then said "Um...A!" Sure thing, sweet girl. You are growing up so fast and it's the most bittersweet thing I've ever experienced. There is such joy in seeing you just accomplish every day life because this is what I prayed for, for you to live and to thrive and to grow. Mostly just for you to live. But a faded typeset inked on thin gold-rimmed pages reads "I have come so that they may have life and have it abundantly." And it is abundant indeed. From my 1 pound 8 and a half ounce baby to my … [Read more...]
Dear Scarlette | @ 21 Months
Dear Scarlette, Let's talk about how crazy you are. Like how you've learned to do somersaults because obviously you want to be a gymnast like your mommy (I know your daddy insists that you are going to be a professional tennis player but he is wrong.) And about how you've learned to climb up your slide and go down it all by yourself. And so for some reason, in your little head this translated to "I know! I'll do a somersault DOWN THE SLIDE! It will be the best somersault ever and I most certainly won't break my neck!" This is the part where I tell you that maybe I should think about taking up hurdles and trying out for the 2016 Olympic … [Read more...]

Scarlette and baby doll circa 2012: "Y'all! This baby doll has a weenis!" . Every now and then I like to refresh your memory of my creepy anatomically correct baby doll. You know, just in case the horrifying image has slowly faded from your mind. Then I'm like "BAM! HERE'S MY BABY DOLL WITH A WEENIS!*" (If you missed this story, you're going to want to read this. But not while you're drinking anything.) Scarlette has gotten really attached to this doll, who I've taken to calling "Baby … [Read more...]
Scarlette Sunday Snapshot | 8.1.12
This is life right now: Scarlette is either reading a book, asking me to read her a book, repeatedly saying the word "book" or she's running around laughing to herself, probably about something she saw in a book. Her hair? We call that the "someone just gave the baby peanut butter" look. Scarlette apparently thinks that peanut butter is akin to hair gel. Also, how in the world do I get that child in focus? She's a constant blur in my camera. I will give you one batrillion dollars if you can tell me how to fix this. Note: I won't actually give you one batrillion dollars.

Go For The Gold | Olympics, Baby
I'm a total Olympic fan-girl. I don't even know what comes over me but every four years I get completely obsessive about the summer games. I rarely watch sports on television and then when it's Olympic season I'm all "Oh! It's synchronized diving! I LOVE synchronized diving!" It's the only time Jeff will acquiesce to watch gymnastics with me and he always has a lot of questions. Sort of like how when I watch basketball with him I'm all "So was that a touchdown? What inning is this?" Apparently, Jeff doesn't think the balance beam looks that hard. I KNOW, RIGHT?! So as the former gymnast in this house, I took it upon myself to demonstrate a … [Read more...]
Dear Scarlette | @ 20 Months
Dear Scarlette, 20 months is ridiculous. First of all, let's talk about how you're almost two. Actually, no. Let's totally not talk about that. It seems so trite and cliche to repeatedly mention how quickly time is passing, how you're growing up so fast. But it echos through my heart all throughout the day and I'm trying so hard to remember to stop, collaborate and listen. Oh wait no, that's not me. That's Vanilla Ice. I do have a constant refrain in my mind telling me to stop. To lift my hands from the keyboard and turn the pages of your book to read yet another story because I don't want to miss a thing. Obviously I have a lot in common … [Read more...]
Sweet Scarlette | Then and Now
When Jeff and I were first married I worked at a photography studio. I fell in love with the very classic style of children's portraiture and we've stayed friends with my boss's family so a couple of times a year I make the drive to have Sherri photograph Scarlette. The first picture is from her 12 month session. LOOK AT MY BABY! I put her in the same dress for a few of her 19 month photos to show off her growth. That dress is a size 6 months so basically? Scarlette is just growing straight up. I can NOT find dresses long enough for her. In the first photo she is sitting on my wedding dress. In the last she is carrying around the purse that … [Read more...]
Scarlette Says: Happy Canada Day, Y'all!
While I'm a southern girl through and through, part of my heart remains in British Columbia where I lived for a time in college. Some of our friends there keep Scarlette's wardrobe stocked with Canadian pride. Obviously she is very excited to show it off. It's possible that she's less excited about the fact that it's related to Canada as she is that it's pink seeing as she stood in front of the mirror for a full three minutes this morning turning from side to side and saying "ih-ee, ih-ee" which is Scarlette speak for "pretty."

Marines wrestling naked in a motel room
This video is a perfect example of why I take my video camera with me wherever I go. I was visiting my buddies Nick and Trevor, two of my best buddies who had long since been stationed at a base far away so I hadn't seen them in months. We went to a really cool strip club where you could bring in your own cooler of ***** which was pretty cool. ********* up and horny, we stum**** back to our motel. For being a cheap last-minute little place it wasn't too bad. We were up on the 10th floor and you could, if you looked, see the ocean. It was cold though so none of us went near it. Now Trevor and Nick have been friends since they were in bootcamp together. They ended up at the same AIT (that's the school they send you to after basic to learn your job) and when they graduated they went to the same base and work in the same shop only on different shifts. Both of them are funny as hell, and hate wearing clothes. Seriously we would go out to the bars come back and get naked just for the hell of

Today NIS announced that there will be two premium packages of Disgaea 4, but sadly did not release the price point for each one.
- The Premium Package comes with a soft cover art book, an OST a figure of the new prinny dressed character Fuka, and different box art for the game
- They are also offering an online only Super Premium Package that seems even more awesome and ridiculous. It comes with everything featured in the normal premium package, but comes with nine extra figurines. They only picture six figures on their site. The pictured figurines are Varbatose, Fenrir, Vulcan, Desco, Emizeru, and Axel. I wonder who the other three figurines are. I am really hoping for Laharl, Etna, and Flonne *crosses fingers*

The Bombay high court on Monday dismissed the application filed by Jaidev, estranged son of late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray, seeking one third share in the family property. The court observed that it (application) was not maintainable.
Justice RD Dhanuka dismissed the application stating that Jaidev had not followed the proper procedure for claiming his rights in the property.
Jaidev had filed a caveat in the high court which is hearing a probate petition filed by his brother Uddhav.
dna was the first to report on January 20 that Thackeray, in his will dated December 13, 2011, has bequeathed majority of his property to his youngest son, Uddhav. Some portion has been given to his grandson, Aishvarya (Jaidev's son). Thackeray has not left a farthing for either Jaidev or the family of his late son, Bindumadhav. Thackeray had three sons — Bindumadhav (who died in a road accident), Jaidev and Uddhav.
Jaidev then filed an application seeking that his caveat should be treated as Letters of Administration, which is usually filed to claim share in property.
The high court dismissed the application observing that it was a testamentary court and hence had no jurisdiction to decide on Jaidev's plea. "Applicant (Jaidev) has not followed proper procedure, hence his plea is not maintainable," said Justice Dhanuka.
If any person wants to oppose a testamentary petition, he/she has to file a Letters of Administration or file a separate suit for partition. Only then the high court can ask the commissioner to distribute the property.
The high court has also rejected Jaidev's prayer that Uddhav should be restrained from transferring or alienating family properties mentioned in the purported will.
Uddhav's counsel from Kanga and Company opposed the same saying that such claim cannot be entertained in a probate petition.
Uddhav, who was anointed Shiv Sena's Executive President by his father, had earlier moved the High Court in January 2013 to probate the will of Thackeray, who died on November 17, 2012. A probate petition is filed to get the will of a deceased person certified by a court of competent jurisdiction. A probate is granted with the court seal and has a copy of the will attached to it. dna has copies of Uddhav's probate petition.
The estate left behind by Thackeray includes property and bank deposits worth Rs14.85 crore, according to the will signed by the Sena patriarch. A copy of the will has been attached to the probate petition filed by Uddhav.
The court also refused to express any opinion on the allegations levelled by Jaidev that Uddhav being the leader of a political party would use his influence.

Here are five common digital photography problems and how to sidestep them or fix them in an image editor.
Sharpen fuzzy photos automatically
In a perfect world, all the photos we snap would emerge from the camera perfectly formed, impressively sharp, and ready for display at the Louvre.
Of course, in reality most digital cameras take photos that are a tad soft - which is why it's often a good idea to sharpen your images a little before printing or sharing them.
One way to sharpen your photos is to let your camera do it for you.
Check out your camera's user guide, and you'll probably find a way to sharpen every photo automatically, as it's taken (as you see in this page from the user guide for the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS).
A built-in sharpening feature is a simple and painless way to give images a little bite, but it isn't perfect.
You have no real control over how much sharpening is applied - and worse, the sharpening affects the entire photo.
Use your photo editor's unsharp mask
I recommend that you sharpen your photos by hand, using the Unsharp Mask tool in your favourite photo editor.
To try it out, first open an image file in your editing application; I'll use Adobe Photoshop Elements here for example, but you can get the same results with almost any program.
Choose Layer, Duplicate Layer and click OK.
In the Layers palette on the right side of the screen, click the top layer to make sure it's selected, and then choose Enhance, Unsharp Mask.
Select whatever sharpening settings you like best. In general, you'll want to set Amount to between 100 and 200, Radius between one and two and Threshold between 0 and 10.
Higher Amount and Radius values increase the sharpening effect; but the lower the threshold, the stronger the effect.
After you apply some sharpening to the top layer, you can vary the opacity until the photo looks right.
You can also use the Eraser tool to erase the top layer selectively, letting the unsharpened lower layer peek through; it's a handy technique to sharpen the subject but leave the background softly.

The Ultimate MMO
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
I was actually thinking about this a lot today. I have been looking for the perfect mmo for years. Well, not in every sense of the word but pretty close. I feel the companies that make mmos have not really been paying attention (or are but do not care) to what most people want in an mmo. I know of several features in one game that would be very efficient in drawing in more players, but then there are several more feaatures not in the first game but in another. The second game's features are efficient as well, but I have always wondered why the features in both were not put together in one mmo.
What I am basically getting at is that companies need to create a game with a lot of what the usual mmo gamer, or even just gamer, would love to have in one game. I am aware the risk is high, like the OP was saying. Both finantially and sucessfully risky. There is also the possibility that maybe one of the features may not be good for the average game, whether the gamers want it or not. It just may not work out. I have a few suggestions on what could be included in such a game but I am aware that it is possible that they can be hurtful to the game as well. There are many sides to all of these features.
1. Open World - It is usually a good call but you may have people that prefer dungeon-based games.
2. Good Graphics - People with good computers thrive but others wont see a difference since it's on low settings. It is possible that it changes regardless though. (3-D is covered here as well)
3. Dungeon Finder - Many people say it takes away from the community feel of games with this feature since you are not actively going out and recruiting people. It can make things easier for people though. (Raids can be added as well)
4. Auction House - A good feature, there is probably some points that can refrute this but I don't have the brainpower right now to think of them. I'll leave that to someone else. :P
5. PvP-Based Features (Battlegrounds, Arenas, World PvP, etc..) - So battlegrounds and arenas, two of the ones listed, can be good for a game with servers primarily for PvE players so there is a way to...work out the frustration of not having any way to PvP (this is for people who like PvP but hate World PvP). World PvP is something else. It is probably best to have a seperate server for this type of feature, which a lot of games already have. It's worth mentioning though.
6. Choice of Controls - Some people like controls like WoW, some like it like Vindictus/C9. If you are able to choose between the two then more power to you and quite possibly your rate of success in that mmo. It all depends on your preference. Most people coming from console games may appreciate the latter way of controls. Not saying everyone will though.
tl;dr - Just read the bolded print. kthx

She comes from an illustrious jewellery background. Janhavi's grandfather was the legendary Nanubhai Jhaveri, Jeweller to most of the royal families in India. He was the founder and creator of the erstwhile firm of Nanubhai Jewellers, and employer and mentor of Ambaji Shinde a very famous name today in jewellery design, who, thanks to his late employer was sent to Harry Winston where he became head designer.
Despite having never met her grandfather, Janhavi was drawn to gems and jewellery, because it is in 'the blood' as they say, further encouraged by her grandmother, who would empty the contents of her safe for Janhavi and her sister to play dress up, during their childhood.
After studying photography, Janhavi went on to study gemology and jewellery design at the Gemological Institute of America in London. She returned to Mumbai as a qualified Gemologist, Accredited Jewellery Professional and Designer, and started her own brand Wanderlustin November 2012.
Design philosophy
"I always wanted to design jewellery which was in between high-end and costume. I didn't want to use diamonds and gold and I didn't want my jewellery to be junk either. So I tried and struck a balance between the two and came with the concept of travel jewellery. That's why the name of the brand - Wanderlust. It's travel jewellery which looks opulent at the same time. I have used brass and silver with semi-precious stones," she shares.
"It just depends on what I feel like wearing on that particular day. My new line comprises of cuffs and I see they are huge right now. The last collection was inspired by Prada's Fall 2011 collection where they showcased floral earrings.
Currently I'm doing everything in brass. I also love green and purple amethyst and white topaz, which I feel is a rich looking stone and is undervalued," she says.
Design icons
"I love designs of Manish Arora for Amrapali and his play with enamel. I also like Viren Bhagat, who does these one-of-a-kind pieces and Pradeep Kothari for his magnificent works. However, my grandfather and Shinde inspire me. I love Art Deco jewellery," she gushes.
Personal style
"It varies from being Bohemian to Preppy. Everyday my look is mostly a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a pair of converses because I like to be comfortable. Otherwise I stick to classic aesthetic and don't follow trends."
Future Plans
"I'm contemplating showcasing at LFW next year and also plan to open my stores and looking at supplying at other stores. However, right now I'm focusing on strengthening my base."
Work life balance
"I work for myself and my schedule varies depending on my priority so it's easy to maintain a work life balance for me."

"I could not be more happy with how these invitations turned out. I paid the small upcharge for the pearl paper and was nervous that it would feel flimsy, but they are seriously perfect. There are plenty of aspects of planning this wedding that have been complicated, but the this was not one of them. The ONLY caveat was that you can't rearrange any of the text boxes on your own for spacing and have to work with a designer, however, they got back with me very quickly and it was a painless process. Even if our cruise ship wedding sinks in Alaska, I will have had FABULOUS invitations."
"Having received multiple other invitations after sending our own, we still believe this is the best one! We've gotten so many compliments"
"I was not only happy with the quality of our wedding invitations and how quickly they were received, but the designer was quick to update our design and even gave suggestions when we made a change request. I'm so happy with these invitations, and my maid of honor will be ordering my bridal shower invitations from here as well. I will definitely order from here again."
"I picked these for my wedding invitation, and decided to spend the extra money to have them printed on pearl paper. I could not have been any more pleased. They are so beautiful! I was shocked at how much I loved them. I didn't think I could love a wedding invitation, but wedding paper divas proved me wrong! They're customer service is way beyond excellent, if that's even possible! If I need ANYTHING else for my wedding, wedding paper divas will be the ones I give my business to."
"First off, it took us months to finally decide on the look we wanted for our wedding invitations. From the beginning, I'd already settled on Weddingpaperdivas though.. Their selection is simply amazing!! And the price?!? Nice!! I spent about a week going back and forth with the designers at weddingpaperdivas until my card was just right! They were so patient and fast!! I got the exact color, helpful suggestions, reassurance and most of all ,the cards came back looking fabulous. We've gotten nothing but compliments on these. I was so hesitant ordering my invites without holding a sample of the final product in my hand but again, my designers reassured me it would be great. When I opened the box I was wowed!!! They came out even better than I could have imagined. Thank you weddingpaperdivas!! These invitations actually reignited my excitement for this most special day."

Just wanted to drop a message and introduce myself as get another brand new Summit owner. And an extremely happy and satisfied Summit owner at that.
This is one absolutely AMAZING truck! I was out of RC for a while, 3 years to be exact. I used to have the old original emaxx back in 2001 and drive that thing into the ground after 5 years. It was amazing fun and fast. Unfortunately I drove it into the ground and got more then my monies worth out if it.
Well earlier this year I decided to really get back into RC. I bought a SC10 to race at the local track and it has been great fun for that. But it's not for true bashing RC fun. Did a lot of research and finally decided that the Summit would be the best all around RC fun truck for me. Bought it for myself for Christmas and I have to say it has been the best money I have spent in RC in a long time. This thing puts a smile on my face longer then it has been since I first pulled that emaxx out if the box back in 2001.
I can't believe how cool this truck is. And wow is this thing HUGE!! The technology in this truck just blows me away. I love being able to lock my duffs from the remote. Just amazing. And to be able to switch from 1st to 2nd gear from the remote like I used to do with my e-maxx brings back great memories. The suspension travel on this thing blows me away. And I love to watch the suspension cycle when flying in 2nd gear. Too much fun. Then with the ability to lock the diff I was able to climb a set of 5 stairs. Amazing!
Ok as you can read I am over the moon about this truck. Can't wait to get further into the truck and the summit community. Going to be a to. Of fun

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

Bailey, an extremist's extremist, is a marvel of extended techniques, perpetual novelty, and uncompromising theory. Hearing him in person is challenging, exciting, liberating, rigorous, and sometimes even, you know, fun. Yet there's a Beckettian quality to his life and work, a sense of ascetic renunciation dating back to 1963, when he began working with drummer Tony Oxley and bassist-composer Gavin Bryars in the Joseph Holbrooke Trio, dedicated to music that was neither what he denounced as "whitey free jazz" nor "sensational" John Cageian "avantgarderie." Previously, Bailey had made an increasingly successful living as a busy touring guitarist in hinterland dance halls before making a gradual segue into a strictly artistic career."I just loved the fucking provinces," he tells Watson in one of the many underedited interview transcriptions that comprise a good chunk of this tome.
While Bailey's solo albums are small wonders of spring-wound nerve and microeconomic muscle memory, he believes that improvising, much like conversation, is most fruitfully practiced in the company of others. After Holbrooke he worked both solo and with collaborators such as pianist Anthony Braxton and saxophonist Steve Lacy, and for two years with the Music Improvising Company. Between 1977 and 1994, Bailey organized annual events called Company Weeks, which were devoted to re-arranging an invited assortment of free musiciansand eventually dancers, jazzbos, rockers, and turntablistsinto promising ad hoc groupings. Watson describes each of these, often in lurid detail: "Manual tweaks and jolts that are literally local and private suddenly open up into cosmic infinitudes: music as sex."
Watson credits John Zorn with introducing Bailey to America, although Bailey arguably played as large a part in legitimizing Zorn. Free improv may be intrinsically unmarketable, but Watson does his part by ignoring countless important players, such as Chris Cutler, Greg Goodman, Lukas Ligeti, the babbling brook outside my window, and the waves breaking on the beach. Say what you will about groove-based improvisation, but the Grateful Dead played more punter hours of free music than Bailey and Zorn multiplied.
"Anyone who talks about music today and ignores Free Improvisation is drivelling over a corpse," whines Watson, whose worst flaw is an annoying polemical tic. "To anyone who uses their ears to evaluate modern music (that is, not that many), Company 5 makes a powerful case for Free Improvisation as the supreme method." Don't tell Kim Jong Il. Watson is a provocative critic with good ears and a knack for Englishing Bailey & Co.'s astounding sounds. But much of it reads like Watson's own description of a Bailey solo: "a ceaseless ripple'n'roll over the same spot, like G.W.F. Hegel continually underlining the insufficiency of stand-alone, unmediated concepts."

Sunday's MLB Tip Sheet
By Josh Jacobs
Sunday rounds out a long weekend of baseball action. Based on recent performances, Tampa Bay, the L.A. Angels and Chicago Cubs remain the teams to beat. Combine the close race in the NL East and the makings of a dramatic rush to October are quite apparent.
With the first week of preseason football all but in the books (Monday's matchup between Cincinnati and Green Bay is still yet to commence) bettors can divert their full attention to 14-day games followed by an evening capper between St. Louis and the Chicago Cubs.
Boston (Buchholz) at White Sox (Floyd) – 2:05 p.m. EDT
Things haven't been pretty for the Red Sox on the road when starting pitcher Clay Buchholz (2-7, 5.94 ERA) takes the mound. In-fact wins have been far a few between with Boston going 1-8 in Buchholz's last nine starts on the road.
But if we're going to focus on a specific angle lets delve into the totals department. In Chicago's last 22 games, the 'over' has been a bread winner going 16-5-1. The 'over' is 7-1 in the last eight head-to-head pairings between these two clubs and the White Sox have been responsible for witnessing the 'over' going 18-7-1 in the last 26 overall games.
And then there's an 'over' record of 6-3-1 in Gavin Floyd's (11-6, 3.66) last 10 starts (four straight 'over' plays in his last four starts).
One trend to note is the Red Sox 20-13 record in a Game 3 pairing, while the White Sox are a blazing hot 21-12 during the same Game 3 scenario this season. Boston is 7-1 in its last eight against Chicago.
Most books have opened the total at 9½-runs.
N.Y. Yankees (Pettitte) at L.A. Angels (Saunders) – 3:35 p.m. EDT
Some would say that the Yankees' time is running out, given the cut throat effort put forth by Tampa Bay and Boston. With the rising concern of injuries, a lack of sustainable momentum and an unbalanced production of offense and defense at any given game, New York is in real trouble.
With the Angels +2199 units on the season it's hard to argue that starter Andy Pettitte (12-9, 4.34) and the Yankees are a sharp underdog play at +115 (bet $100 to win $115). L.A. is 40-19 in its last 59 games played on grass and is 17-5 in its last 22.
The biggest element staring the Bombers in the face is 14-game winner Joe Saunders (14-5, 3.03). The Halo slinger is ranked 8th in the AL with a 1.16 WHIP, has surrendered just 1.7 runs per game in his last 10 outings and is registering a skimp .239 BAA.
But once again a total play might be worth investing some time into. Here are some trends concerning totals: The 'over' is 11-3 in the Yankees last 14, the 'over' is a perfect 8-0 in the last eight head-to-head games in L.A. and the 'over' is 13-7 in the last 20 head-to-head meetings.
L.A.'s Saunders last start versus Baltimore yielded a no-decision after throwing six masterful innings of work, giving up a grand total of one run on six hits. In his three-year career, Saunders is 1-1 with an over the top 10.80 ERA versus the Yankees in only two starts. New York's offense has come together to tag the Halos' lefty for a .361 BA, while scoring an average of 5.5 runs per game. Be aware that all of New York's production came with Saunders on the hill for only eight innings.
St. Louis (Carpenter) at Cubs (Dempster) – 8:05 p.m. EDT on ESPN
Making his third start since being activated from the 60-day DL will be St. Louis starting specialist Chris Carpenter (0-0, 1.00). Carpenter has spent the past year recovering from ligament replacement surgery but two solid performances since returning to the rotation have given the Cardinals a fighting chance in the AL Central.
Most books have already opened the Cubs as a $1.43 home favorite as an 8-2 record in their last 10 coupled with right-handed starter Ryan Dempster (12-5, 2.93) towing the slab in this ESPN televised tilt two top reasons for the chalky price tag.
Dempster is 4-3 in his last 10 starts, but a five inning outing against Houston was hardly reason to be alarmed. Sure Chicago was pushed aside in that contest, losing 2-0, but the 10-year veteran surrendered just two runs on five hits. This was an uncharacteristic loss for a Cubs club who's been responsible for supporting Dempster with a high 5.7 runs of support per start.
St. Louis has struggled against Chicago in the last 20 head-to-head meetings, squeezing out a lonely 6-14 record. A 12-6-2 record on the 'under' lends itself for more research.
Some more intriguing numbers favoring the Cubbies and their starter Dempster is his 10-2 performance with a .201 BAA and 80 strikeouts inside Wrigley Field this season. In Chi-town's last three outings, the rotation and pen have combined for a debilitating 2.59 ERA with an effective 0.90 WHIP. Adding to this organizations resume is a 4-16 record at home thanks in large part to the arms tossing a seasonal 3.62 ERA and the bats making contact for a .302 BA at Wrigley.
Look for a possible play on the run line as the Cubs have made major cash with a 64-54 record pulling in +14.94 units in '08.
For St. Louis an 'over' record of 8-1-1 in its last 10 road games and an 'over' frequency of 9-3-1 in its last 13 overall games could serve total players well.
Re: MLB News and Notes August 10
Sunday's streaking and slumping pitchers
Gil Meche, Kansas City Royals (10-9, 4.17)
Meche, who started the campaign with eight setbacks in his first 14 starts, is 3-0 in his last three outings with a solid 1.80 ERA.
Meche is fresh off a home victory over the Boston Red Sox in which he lasted six innings, striking out nine. He is undefeated in his last eight at home and has relinquished just 15 ERs and five HRs in that stretch.
Meche also has a 4.66 career-ERA versus the Minnesota Twins.
The Royals are 5-0 in Meche's last five home starts and are 6-0 in his last six overall.
Brandon Webb, Arizona Diamondbacks (16-4, 3.04)
The D-backs, despite a mediocre record, are leading the NL West and Webb is the fundamental reason for their success. Webb is 3-0 with a solid 1.88 ERA in his last three starts and is undefeated in his last seven overall.
In his last six starts, Webb has relinquished just eight earned runs in 45 IP. He is 4-4 at home and has a 1.90 career-ERA against the Atlanta Braves.
The Diamondbacks are 14-3 in Webb's last 17 starts against a club with a losing record and are 25-10 in Webb's last 35 home starts.
Andy Pettitte, New York Yankees (12-9, 4.13)
Pettitte has lost two straight, conceding 13 earned runs and three HRs in the process. He is also 1-2 in his last three road starts.
Pettitte is 1-2 in his last three overall with an 8.27 ERA. In his last start, an 8-6 road setback to the lowly Texas Rangers, Pettite surrendered five ERs in a mere six IP. He is also 0-1 with a 15.9 ERA in one game against the Los Angeles Angels.
The Yankees are 1-4 in Pettitte's last five on four days of rest and are 3-9 in their last 12 meetings against the Angels in L.A.
Re: MLB News and Notes August 10
Sunday's best MLB bets
Houston at Cincinnati (-120, 9½)
The Houston Astros have been one of the NL's hottest teams lately, while the Cincinnati Reds have been the league's worst. Recent developments on the injury front, however, could close that gap considerably.
After losing Carlos Lee to a broken left pinkie finger, the Astros hope to overcome the hot-hitting outfielder's absence Sunday when they close a four-game road series against the Reds, who will welcome ace Aaron Harang back from the disabled list.
Since falling into last place in the NL Central on July 23, Houston (57-59) has won 11 of 15 games to pull into the outskirts of contention in the NL wild-card race. The Astros are in sixth place, trailing first-place Milwaukee by 8 1-2 games.
Lee has been a major factor in Houston's surge, leading the majors with a .390 batting average since June 20 and batting .500 (15-for-30) with four homers and 13 RBIs in nine August games.
Lee, however, won't get a chance to continue his hot streak anytime soon. He left Saturday night's 3-1 win over Cincinnati with a broken left pinkie after getting hit by a pitch from Reds starter Bronson Arroyo in the third inning, and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks.
"It's tough to lose him," Astros manager Cecil Cooper said of Lee, the NL leader with 100 RBIs. "It didn't look good. He carried us the last month-and-a-half. It's a big hole to fill, but we're capable of filling it. I'm just now starting to suck it up."
Making matters worse for the Astros is the news that Harang (3-11, 4.76 ERA) will start Sunday's finale for the Reds (52-66). The right-hander has won at least 10 games in each of the last four seasons, including back-to-back 16-win campaigns in 2006 and 2007. He's struggled this year, but told the Reds' official Web site that he's eager to return after almost a month on the disabled list with a strained right forearm.
"Everybody says it's fine for a while to get a couple of days off," Harang said. "But once you've got to come to the field every day, being around the guys and not being able to go out there and help, it eventually gets to you."
Pick: Houston
Minnesota at Kansas City (-105, 8½)
The Minnesota Twins' high-scoring offense helped them move back into first place in the AL Central for the second time in a week.
To keep their lead, though, they'll have to cool off Gil Meche, who takes the mound for Kansas City on Sunday, trying to help the Royals avoid a three-game sweep.
The Twins (64-51) beat the Royals (53-64) 7-3 on Saturday for their third straight win overall and ninth in 11 games this season against Kansas City. Delmon Young homered and rookie Denard Span had a two-run single during a five-run sixth inning.
Jason Kubel tripled to lead off the sixth before Young was hit by a pitch from Zack Greinke. While Twins manager Ron Gardenhire thought it was intentional, the left fielder wasn't sure.
"When it's so close to your head you don't know what's going on," Young said. "If (it was intentional), I was hoping for the ribs or lower. We scored five runs after that. Whatever it did was a good thing for us."
The win, combined with Chicago's loss to Boston, moved the Twins a half-game ahead of the White Sox into first place in the AL Central. It's the second time this week they've been in first place. Last Sunday, Minnesota took the lead in the division, but lost its next two games to fall back into second.
The Twins have averaged 6.2 runs in their last six games, led by Span, who is hitting 10-for-26 (.385) with seven RBIs, and Kubel, who is batting .368 (7-for-19) with two homers and six runs scored in his last five games.
Since the All-Star break, Minnesota has the fifth-highest scoring offense in the AL at 5.4 runs per game.
Continuing that prolific offense won't be easy Sunday against Meche (10-9, 4.17), who has won his last four starts and seven of his last eight decisions. He has a 2.80 ERA during that stretch.
Pick: Over
Re: MLB News and Notes August 10
Baseball Today
Sunday, Aug. 10
Atlanta at Arizona (4:10 p.m. EDT). Mike Hampton, who hadn't won since 2005 before beating the Giants on Tuesday, goes for his second straight win against Brandon Webb (16-4, 2.93 ERA), who is trying to become the first pitcher in the majors to reach 17 wins.
- Troy Glaus, Cardinals, went 3-for-5 with two homers and five RBIs, ending an 0-for-30 streak against Cubs pitchers in a 12-3 rout of Chicago.
- Ben Sheets, Brewers, threw a five-hitter in Milwaukee's 6-0 win over Washington, extending the Nationals' scoreless streak to 22 innings.
- Carlos Beltran, Mets, went 3-for-3 with his 16th home run and three RBIs in New York's 8-6 win over Florida.
- Miguel Cabrera, Tigers, homered twice and drove in four runs to lift Detroit to a 10-2 win over Oakland.
- Dioner Navarro, Rays, hit a sacrifice fly to score Ben Zobrist in the 11th inning to give Tampa bay an 8-7 win over Seattle.
Barry Bonds made an appearance during a pregame ceremony celebrating the Giants' 50th anniversary in San Francisco. After Willie Mays spoke to the crowd, Bonds walked to a podium behind the pitcher's mound and told the crowd "I'm not retired.'' He then watched two innings of the game from a front-row seat next to Giants owner Peter Magowan.
Tampa Bay beat Seattle 8-7 in 11 innings for their 70th win of the season, matching the most wins in franchise history. The Rays won 70 in 2004 under manager Lou Piniella.
Troy Glaus, hitless in his first 30 at-bats against the Cubs this season, had two of the Cardinals' four homers off Carlos Zambrano and finished with five RBIs to help St. Louis beat Chicago 12-3. Glaus' second homer of the day and 21st of the season was a three-run shot in the fifth that finished Zambrano, who suffered his first loss of the season at Wrigley Field, where he'd been 6-0.
Brett Myers didn't want to leave with a runner on second and two outs in the eighth against the Pirates. When Phillies manager Charlie Manuel came out to the mound to get him, Myers muttered a few expletives. Manuel went after Myers in the dugout and the two briefly exchanged words nose-to-nose. Myers said he just wanted to stay in the game, and said they had patched things up. Manuel said he prefers a pitcher who doesn't want to exit a game. "It was two strong-willed people kind of disagreeing,'' Manuel said. "Everything is all right. He wanted to stay in. I like that. In fact, if he doesn't want to stay in, I'd be mad.''
Paul Byrd pitched a six-hitter to win his fourth consecutive start, Cleveland's 4-2 victory Toronto. Byrd had dropped five straight decisions between June 11 and July 4.
Oakland's Frank Thomas hit his 521st career home run, tying him for 17th all-time with Willie McCovey and Ted Williams. ... Gary Sheffield hit his 490th home run in the Tigers' 10-2 win over the Athletics. ... Jeff Kent homered in the 10th inning of the Dodgers' 3-2 loss to San Francisco. The home run was the 376th of his career, tying him with Carlton Fisk for 62nd on the career list.
Baltimore's Daniel Cabrera stymied the struggling Texas Rangers for six innings of a 9-0 win. Cabrera allowed four hits in an unusually effective performance against the Rangers. The right-hander was 1-6 with a 6.33 ERA in eight previous appearances against Texas, including 0-3 at home.
Francisco Liriano had his second straight strong start since being recalled from the minors, giving up three runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings of the Twins 7-3 victory over Kansas City. Liriano is 2-0 with a 2.31 ERA in two starts, allowing three earned runs and nine hits in 11 2-3 innings since returning to the Twins from Triple-A Rochester, where he had won his final 10 decisions.
White Sox pitcher Jose Contreras ruptured his left Achilles' tendon in the second inning of the game against the Red Sox. Contreras was activated before the game. He had been on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow tendinitis and hadn't started since July 13 at Texas. ... Royals second baseman Mark Grudzielanek may be out for the season after a MRI revealed a torn deltoid ligament in his right ankle. Grudzielanek went on the disabled list on Aug. 2, one day after colliding with first baseman Ross Gload while catching a fly ball to shallow right off the bat of Juan Uribe of the Chicago White Sox.
The Royals traded pitcher Horacio Ramirez to the Chicago White Sox for minor league outfielder Paulo Orlando. The deal was completed after the Kansas City Royals' 7-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins. The left-hander was 1-1 with a 2.59 earned run average in 15 relief appearances with the Royals, who signed him as a minor league free agent on May 21 after he was released in spring training by Seattle.
The Yankees' Jason Giambi hit his 23rd homer of the year. Of his 81 hits this season, 37 have been for extra bases.
Houston slugger Carlos Lee, the NL leader in RBIs, broke his pinkie when he was hit by a pitch thrown by Bronson Arroyo and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks. ... All-Star third baseman Ryan Braun was pulled from the Brewers' 6-0 victory over Washington because of tightness in his lower back. Braun struck out in the first inning, spiking his helmet into the ground as Ray Durham was thrown out at second attempting to steal for a double play. Braun said he felt the tightness on a 2-1 pitch during the at-bat. He was listed as day-to-day, and said muscles on both sides of his ribcage tightened. ... Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Orlando Hudson left the game against the Atlanta Braves because of an apparent wrist injury. Hudson was attempting to field an errant throw from reliever Juan Cruz when Atlanta catcher Brian McCann collided with Hudson's left wrist. Hudson immediately fell to the infield dirt and rolled in pain before leaving the game.
White Sox pitcher Jose Contreras is out for at least nine months after rupturing his left Achilles' tendon in a 6-2 loss to the Red Sox. Contreras left the game after crumpling to the ground attempting to cover first on a grounder in the second inning. The 36-year-old Contreras limped past first base before clutching his leg and pounding his fist on the ground. He needed help to get off the field. Contreras, 7-6 with a 4.50 ERA, was activated before the game from a 15-day stint on the disabled list with tendinitis in his elbow. ... Royals second baseman Mark Grudzielanek may be out for the season after a MRI revealed a torn deltoid ligament in his right ankle. Grudzielanek went on the disabled list on Aug. 2, one day after colliding with first baseman Ross Gload while catching a fly ball to shallow right off the bat of Juan Uribe of the Chicago White Sox.
"This a pennant race. I want men on the field. I keep telling (general manager Kenny Williams) we got what we need, but some people make me look bad, some people make me look disappointed, some people make me think about what we have. Some players should look themselves in the mirror and be embarrassed, and they should be better, that's all I can say.'' - White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen after reliever Boone Logan allowed four runs without recording and out in a 6-2 loss to Boston. Logan was sent to the minors after the game.

the Razz: AMY BALES OUT; Troubled Winehouse pulls plug on UK tour because hubby's in the nick.
TROUBLED crooner Amy Winehouse has pulled the plug on her shambolic UK tour . . . because she misses banged-up hubby Blake Fielder-Civil.
The 23-year-old singer cancelled a show in Bournemouth last night before scrapping the rest of her tour, which is only halfway through.
She said: "I can't give it my all on stage without my Blake.
"I'm so sorry but I don't want to do the shows half-heartedly.
"I love singing but my husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same."
Music video lackey Blake Fielder-Civil, 25, is on remand in Pentonville Prison awaiting trial for perverting the course of justice.
Amy's tour has so far been labelled a joke by fans, who have booed her off at every show. She has turned up late for all the performances and lumbered around the stage in a drunken stupor, according to onlookers.
An insider said: "She misses Blake so much and doesn't feel up to doing the gigs. She won't be touring again and doctors have advised her to take a rest."
The news comes less than a day after the Rehab singer kept fans waiting at a Brighton venue - because she was in the middle of a pool tournament.
Back To Black star Amy, 24, missed her cue as she failed to drag herself away from a knockout series being played on her personal table backstage at the Brighton Centre.
She was part of a group that were gathered around her purple pool table, which is taken on tour with her and resurfaced every day to ensure it is always in top condition.
Amy, whose weight has plunged amid rumours of heavy drug use, has become hooked on the game and insiders at the venue were stunned to see the star carry on with her game despite being called on to the stage.
She did not make it out until 10.15pm and then finished so late the centre was forced to charge her promoter a "substantial" amount to cover costs of staff working longer.
Many felt she might as well as not have bothered going on stage.
One fan said: "Amy's bouncers told us she was late on stage because she was in the middle of a pool tournament.
"It's annoying when you have spent your hard earned money and she's playing pool instead of getting on stage and doing what she should be doing."
Operating theatre technician Tony Morris, 64, of nearby Hove, said he had wasted more than pounds 200 taking his family to the concert.
Tony said: "It was absolute rubbish even when she did get onto the stage.
"Every time she started a song she drank, then half-way through she drank again. She kept wandering on and off the stage and it was as if she couldn't be bothered to be there.
"People were booing and when I looked around half-way through lots of people had left. I have been following all the news reports but could not have imagined it could have been as bad as this. She just isn't interested anymore."
Amy's then returned to the pool table and her after party antics continued until 2.30am when she finally headed back to Brighton's Hilton Metropole hotel.
She joined revellers on a balcony and then headed to a nearby Tesco.
An insider said: "Amy really did get some stick from fans. It's all very well playing pool after the gig to relax, but keeping fans waiting for 90 minutes just so you can play a game or two is taking things too far.
"We couldn't believe it, but you can't tell Amy what to do - she's too big a star for that."

Egyptian authorities have announced the lifting of a travel ban that had prevented seven American nonprofit workers from leaving the country. The seven are among 43 workers charged with operating illegally in Egypt following a raid of their offices and the seizure of computers, files and other documents in December; one of the Americans, Sam LaHood, is the son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. The charges against the Americans are not being withdrawn but they will be allowed to pay bail of two million Egyptian pounds (about $330,000) and leave the country.
The removal of the travel ban is a step to resolving a diplomatic crisis between the U.S. and Egypt. In the balance was $1.3 billion of aid that the U.S. gives the Egyptian military; reports that the funds could be withheld had led to Egypt threatening to review the the Camp David peace treaty with Israel.
Politically Charged Trial of Nonprofit Workers
The trial of the 43 workers began on Sunday and was adjourned by Egyptian judges until April 26. Then on Tuesday, the Egyptian judges assigned to the trial recused themselves; a more senior judge had requested, behind the scenes, that they reconsider the ban. On Wednesday, Egyptian state media reported that the judges had written a letter "requesting their recusal on the grounds that the suggestion about the travel ban had compromised their position."
A total of 19 Americans have all been charged with illegally using foreign funds to incite unrest and operating without a license. 16 Egyptians as well as Serbs, Lebanese, Germans, a Norwegian, a Jordanian and a Palestinian, all face the same charges, which could carry a five-year prison term. The Americans are employees of three nonprofits, one of which is a journalism organization, the International Center for Journalism, and two of which seek to promote democracy, the National Democratic Institute and the International Republican Institute, which Sam LaHood is the director of. Two of the other foreign workers will also be allowed to travel outside Egypt, but the fate of the Egyptian defendants remains unclear.
Clinton: "We don't really have an Egyptian government to have a conversation with"
Activists have said that the raids on the nonprofits' offices and the trials of their workers represent attempts by Egypt's ruling military government, the Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF), to silence critics. In the year since Hosni Mubarak was deposed, the SCAF has repeatedly sought to blame foreigners for outbreaks of violent in Egypt including a soccer riot in the city of Port Said that left 74 dead.
In what the New York Times calls a "face-saving way out of the crisis" for Egypt, U.S. officials had said for some days that a diplomatic solution was in the works. But the very suggestion that American-funded groups could have been trying to interfere with the Egyptian revolution created a "powerful anti-American backlash" so that Egypt's authorities "were unwilling to risk the public's wrath by appearing to bow before American pressure."
Noting that she hoped that the situation would be "resolved shortly," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton added that
"Once we make progress on the N.G.O. issues, then we can have a broader discussion both with the Congress and with the Egyptian government. Of course, one of our problems is we don't really have an Egyptian government to have a conversation with. And I keep reminding myself of that because it is an uncertain situation for all the different players."

Barack obama just handed them a brief-case complete of cash now the globe knows to take People in america into legal care and they can also get a brief-case complete of cash !
Times Square Hotel
The SCAF is desperate to deflect public pressure, and the various political parties jockeying for electoral position have their own axes to grind. Bottom line is Egypt needed to demonstrate independence from the U.S. and has a right to demand non-interference, however specious the charges. We recently kicked out Russian diplomats for being spies, even though their actual effectiveness as 'spies' was practically nil - it was an issue of demonstrable sovereignty. Countries which have profound reasons for being allies can engage in diplomatic pushback without permanent damage.
The U.S. has had a strategic relationship with Egypt dating back to 1956 and this shouldn't have endangered it. Much of our food aid goes to Egypt, too so it's not a question of threats or military quid pro quo alone, but of very important mutual obligations. Also, the U.S. has had good relations with the Egyptian people since the 1870s and hopefully those will continue no matter what the new government is. Egypt is the key to the entire region.
These NGOs had in fact been operating for years without proper registration because of Byzantine registration procedures, but with tacit acknowledgement by Egyptian Government officials. Since 1) the "charge" against them is basically a misdemeanor, and 2) the employees were never formally arrested, posting this ridiculous amount of bail was a form of political blackmail.
It's obvious that the Egyptian [non-existent] Government created this "scandal" to support their ludicrous accusations that "foreigners" were inciting unrest in Egypt, and to distract the public from ongoing calls for the Military Council to step down.
On the surface the bail money looks like blackmail by the Egyptian government which is led by the Egyptian military. Since the $1.3 billion from America to Egypt is for military aid, I think we should stop it indefinitely especially since the Egyptian military has use weapon against the protestors. We should never stop talking but perhaps it is time to put a stop to the $1.3 billion blackmail money and that is what it is; we are paying blackmail for the peace agreement with Israel. If Israel wants to pay Egypt for a peace agreement let them but I doubt that they would.
Well I guess it is ransom, but here in the west we don't let prisoners out without bail so what is the difference. I am glad these young people are free, but I feel for the Egyptian prisoners. I don't think they will be so lucky, they don't have half of the western world shouting for their release. I hope these young people have learned their lesson, and I do hope that these fines are not being paid by the American Government (ie the citizens tax dollars), and that the indivuals and or the NGO agencies are paying these.
It was always about power...the power of the "new" government to use Americans as bargaining chips. So they'll pay the "fine" and get OUT of there alive!
They should blow town, all 43 of them, and further they should refuse to pay a dime to Egypt. They should sabotage their work as they leave as well, destroying any and all information and data the Egyptian rebels could try to use so the whole case collapses and depletes the enemy coffers. We should then blockade Egypt and let Israel take Sinai back until Egypt gets a government again.
I got lost on this one.
Are you kidding me? Nobody thinks it's a good thing they are being released? Experiencing life in an Egyptian prison is a pretty high price for being stupid...as many young idealists can be, we all know. Ransom, bail...$300,000 who cares? Want to worry about money, worry about the national debt. $300,000. is pocket change.

TEMECULA: Artist 'dumbfounded' by painting's removal
'Female Study #1' has become center of censorship hubbub
She also discussed using some sort of screen to shield the work but she said she was told ---- she wouldn't say by whom ---- that it would distract from the other artwork in The Merc, a small gallery that was built inside a historical mercantile building.
Janice Cipriani, an award-winning Temecula painter who has a watercolor displayed in the show, said it was a shame that the controversy was overshadowing the exhibit, which runs through Sunday.
"Temecula needs to kind of grow up artwise and value art more," she said.
Cipriani's blue ribbon-winning painting is called "The Sage" and it depicts a man reading a book.
She said she used a man at a farmers market in Pasadena as inspiration and the colors in the work represent her interpretation of the man's thought process.
