Dan Haren, Edwin Jackson could be trade bait
May 31, 2010, 4:46 PM EDT
Rosenthal's latest column reveals that the Diamondbacks "are discussing internally the possibility" of trading starters Dan Haren and Edwin Jackson. That sounds about two steps removed from something actually happening, but let's talk about it anyway.
Haren would be a great pickup by a contender. Sure, he's got a 5.56 ERA, but his K/9 ratio (9.2) and his K/BB (5.07) are just spiffy. Ground balls with eyes? A few too many dying quails? Maybe. Fact is, the guy is a freakin' horse, having logged no fewer than 216 innings since coming over to Oakland in the Mark Mulder deal.
Jackson is obviously less of a prize. Electric when he's on but frustratingly inconsistent, he has earned far more of his 6.03 ERA than Haren has. He's a play for starting depth more than anything. And he could be a good one at that. After all, he was a part of the 2008 Rays rotation, so you can win with this guy.
I think the larger point to be taken from this is that the starting pitching pool at this year's deadline — already pretty deep — is getting deeper.

trade dan haren to tampa bay rays we could win a championship the rays are in first
- JGS - May 31, 2010 at 5:46 PM
How many of the runs he has allowed were actually inherited runs that his awful bullpen gave up?
- XB3 - May 31, 2010 at 8:31 PM
JGS … the answer is very few. Haren has given up a boat load of home runs so far. Not trying to defend the bullpen, because they suck. By his own admission, Haren is spending too much time pitching in the strike zone and not trying to work the edges.
- BC - May 31, 2010 at 10:27 PM
Jackson has a cannon of an arm. Would be interesting to see that dude come in as a closer.
What if the Phillies or Twins reached out and plucked him?
I'm just sayin'….
- Joey B - Jun 1, 2010 at 8:52 AM
"Ground balls with eyes? A few too many dying quails? Maybe."
Maybe, or maybe as XB3 posted, maybe it's the fact that he's on pace for ~ 50 HRs. This is not in-depth research Craig.
- Joey B - Jun 1, 2010 at 9:13 AM
"trade dan haren to tampa bay rays we could win a championship the rays are in first"
I'm not sure that's the best move. Your worst guy is Davis, and he's okay. Haren isn't as good as your other four, so you'd be paying a fair amount to replace your #5 SP while ignoring other need areas.
- Levaughn - Jun 1, 2010 at 9:30 AM
Joey B, Do you realize Haren is an all star pitcher?? he had the cy young wrapped up last year and should have won over 20 games but the dbacks bullpen is terrible.. Haren is struggling this year because he has to try so hard cause his offense isnt producing at all and his bullpen blows. I really can't believe you just said the rays top four are better than dan haren… Maybe Garza but even he hasnt been as consistent as haren, watch tonight, guarantee Haren turns it around.
- TMW - Jun 1, 2010 at 10:01 AM
Why is Dan Haren just mediocre after the All-Star break? Check out his splits over last 4 years. It's like clockwork. He's routinely dominant in the first half and then tapers in the second. It's almost common fantasy baseball knowledge at this point that owning Dan Haren is primarily for the purpose of riding out his hot streak early and then trading him for a bopper in June or July. He's the Justin Morneau of pitchers.
- Joey B - Jun 1, 2010 at 10:10 AM
"I really can't believe you just said the rays top four are better than dan haren… "
They are. Who's not better? You gave me Garza already. Price was the #1 pick in the country, is 7-2 with a 2.57, with a 1.14 Whip. Shields I admit is borderline. Niemann is a #4 overall, 5-0 with a 2.37 and a 1.052 Whip.
Haren's run support is 4.92, which equates to #3 as a team. His issues this year have been the HRs. He's given up 10 in his last three games.
Having said that, I probably over-reacted because I have Haren on my roto team. He probably should get better, but he is still an NL pitcher, and I see no way that he's better than either Garza, Price, or Niemann.
- Eric Cioe - Jun 1, 2010 at 3:41 PM
Dan Haren not better than Jeff Niemann? Take a look at the last five years or so versus the last five starts. Garza, too, and though Price might eventually be better, Haren has all of them topped so far, though he's not pitching like it right now.

VCA Elliot Park Animal Hospital Testimonials
We value feedback from our clients. Please share your story with us by writing a testimonial.
Groomer Extraordinaire
-Harry Melamed from Tempe, AZ
Pet Name: Oliver and Magoo
I've been bringing my Westie and Cock-a-poo mix to Michelle and Holly for years and they both do a super job of making Oliver and Magoo look perfect.
Magoo has some allergy problems and he is usually miserable after grooming. Since I have started taking Magoo to Holly and Michelle, he has always come home comfortable and happy from the extra special treatment he receives. And as an added bonus he looks great.
Oliver has always looked amazing after a day at the "Doggie spa" with Holly and Michelle. They do a super job of keeping him a super cute westie.
I would recommend to anyone to bring your dogs for grooming to Elliot Park. Holly and Michelle are tops in my book.
Grooming and Healthcare
-Terry and Connie Dunn from Chandler, AZ
We've been using the doctors and the grooming services of Elliot Park VCA since 1992 and I would'nt use anyone else! Not only do they provide the best in health care, they care with compassion. A few years ago we adopted a rescue Bischon from a puppy mill and she had been abused. The doctors have worked with us to bring her back to health. In addition to the health issues, we've also been struggling with overwhelming emotional issues. We would like to offer our sincere appreciation and a heartfelt "Thank You" to Holly, our groomer. Not only has Holly made Zoey (our Bischon) look like she now belongs in the winners circle at the "best-in-show" arena; Holly also loves Zoey and that has helped her see that people can really care about her. She is finally coming to trust people (particularly me, the man in her home)and is now making the effort to socialize with other dogs as well. We've been taking Zoey to an animal behaviorlist and nothing or no one has helped her the way that Holly has during this past year. A big "Thanks" and "our Love to you, Holly."
Warm Regards,
Terry and Connie Dunn
Little Peanut first visit
-Jennie L. Augustine from Phoenix, AZ
Pet Name: Little Peanut
Little Peanut was treated like a king! Dr. Tina Stanat loved my little guy as if it was her own. Kirsten was whom he received special nursing care from. Both took especially extra time with him and he received the best care, any of my pets, in my life, have ever received. My pets and I have found our feline provider for the rest of our lives!!! I recommend their care technics and ethics to every pet owner!!
Veterinary appointment
-Patty Heflin from Chandler, AZ
Pet Name: Lucky Girl
Dr Loescen and his staff were friendly, caring and sincere. They made my pets visit to the veterinarians office very pleasant. The office facility is warm, bright and clean and also offers boarding accommodations for your precious pet. I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking animal services for their furry family members.
Very Caring Staff
-Elaine N from Phoenix, AZ
Pet Name: Luna Boo
The staff at this VCA are stellar! I had the sad misfortune of having to have my (2) senior cats put down over the last couple of years. Bringing them to Dr. Loeschen and his staff made the decision easier. They went well out of their way to care for my aging babies right up to the end, we tried everything to keep them comfortable. Alas age catches up, so when the time comes it's nice to know the vet cares about your pet almost as much as you do. Now I have a new kitten that was rescued from our parking lot at work, and she gets the red carpet treatment every time we walk in! I've gotten very well acquainted with the staff going through this emotional roller coaster, and they are always kind and patient both with me and my pets. The care my kids receive is always top notch, carefully explained and options offered if available. Can't say enough good about this crew!
jilly-beans second home and family
-karen lundy from mesa, AZ
Pet Name: jilly-bean
white glove treatment, professional, caring. You are treated with an understanding of who your little ones are and who they're family is. this is the best staff, and the groomer is one of a kind. truly caring
Great Clinic and Animal Hospital
-Larry Walden from Gilbert, AZ
Pet Name: Henry
Dr. Loeschen has been taking care of our family pets (cats & dogs) for years. He is very professional and always takes time to give our pets the care they deserve. All the support staff at VCA Elliot Park show great attention to detail and do their best to make our pets feel comfortable during their visits to the clinic. I would highly recommend VCA Elliot Park to anyone looking for excellent veterinary care.

I hope this long-overdue journal finds everyone doing well, happy and healthy and enjoying the return of sunshine! I know that living in San Diego now, we have a skewed sense of weather, being that we had plenty of 80-degree days in January and February, but we still have our own version of "cold". It is starting to warm up, and the shorts are finally being broken out of their winter hibernation!!
As all you softball fans know, we are in the thick of the college softball season, and the San Diego State Aztecs are heading into conference play this weekend. The Mountain West Conference only has 6 teams, so we start the season a little later than many of the other conferences. We head to Las Vegas to play UNLV this weekend, which should be a great test. The Runnin' Rebels are playing well right now, and have some big offensive weapons. Our team is playing pretty well now as well, so it should be a good test for both teams!!
I am still thoroughly enjoying coaching, and really find myself facing a new challenge or uncharted territory on a daily basis. Coaching is so much about "people management", as much as it is about skill development. I see so much of that game that I missed before; as an athlete you are so focused on your job, what you have to do, that you aren't always totally aware of all that is happening around you. I have found such a greater appreciation for all of my teammates and their amazing talents and gifts…they all made the game look so easy!!
As a coach, you stand back and observe EVERYTHING, and everyone. Its sort of like the "eye in the sky" and its just a different perspective than being on the field, in the pressure cooker that is The Game. I've found even MORE things to love and respect about the game of softball, and can't wait to see whats next for me in this new journey of coaching!
Mr. Chase is soon to turn 2, and is beyond amazing! I've found myself recently standing back and watching him in amazement. I've always had a deep respect for the miracle that is human life, but I never really considered it as fully as I do now: it is beyond comprehension that this little creation was helpless and fully dependent only months ago, and now he is running around, talking, asking questions, gaining his personality and his will (he's a feisty little guy!). Not only physically, but he is growing emotionally and intellectually every single day. It just blows my mind!! And this same miracle happens over and over again millions of times every day (not sure if millions of babies are born every day, but I wouldn't doubt it!).
Mark also recently started his new job with the San Diego City Attorney's Office, so he's beginning a new adventure as well. We are finally all in the same place, which is great! San Diego is the greatest city, and we are looking forward to enjoying all that San Diego has to offer.
All the best to you and yours, and wish the Aztecs luck the rest of the season!
Dreaming BIG,

Book recalls escape from war-torn England to Fox Point
Mike De Sisti
Jayne Jordan was sent to Wisconsin from England in 1940 by her mother, who wanted to get her safely away from the dangers of war.
The defining moment of Jayne Jordan's life came when she was just 9 years old. With the Nazi threat against England growing by the day, Jayne's widowed mother put her on a ship to America in 1940 as part of an evacuation of millions of British children to keep them safe from war. »Read Full Article

An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
OpenWRT puts Linux on WLAN routers and helps users set up large-scale WLANs at home, and the FreeWRT derivative adds a professional touch. If you don't have your own compile farm, the OpenSUSE build service may be just what you need. And we investigate the obstacles to new packages for Debian.
Wireless LANs have helped many home users to set up simple networks without having to run cables through the house. Typically, a router handles shared Internet access for the internal machines. Many DSL providers give users discounts on WLAN routers, or even give away a router. Low power consumption, a small footprint, and low noise emission make routers infinitely preferable to configuring a PC for the same job. Routers between PCs and Embedded Systems One problem with routers is the lack of functionality. The default firmware normally doesn't support anything much but the core task of routing between the Internet and the internal network. Although many routers now support peripheral tasks such as port forwarding, you can't expect much more than that. And if you intend to run any other kind of software on your router, you will need an operating system to match.

Goode Partners Invest in Sneaker Villa
Private equity firm Goode Partners has taken a stake in Philadelphia-based Sneaker Villa Inc. which has more than doubled the size of its store base this past year. Goode, based out of New York, has had success with smaller retailers, having previously taken stakes in Intermix and All Saints.
Villa sells footwear and apparel from brands including Nike, Jordan, Timberland, Adidas, Puma and Rocawear. The company has stores in multiple Northeastern and Midwestern markets, like Philadelphia, York and Allentown in Pennsylvania as well as Chicago and Detroit.
Villa is led by chief executive officer and shareholder Jason Lutz, son Chris and Ruth Lutz, who opened the company's first store in 1989. Peter J. Solomon Co. managing director David Shiffman advised Villa on the deal.
The retailer plans to expand in its existing markets and break into new territory in the years ahead.
"We look forward to leveraging our experience investing in and advising growth consumer retail companies to augment the extremely talented management team already in place at Villa," said David Oddi, a partner at Goode.

Crews repaving interchanges with Interstate 640
Third lane of I-40 near Rutledge Pike to open at end of project
Road crews this week are putting the finishing touches on the $200 million SmartFIX40 project by repaving the interchanges with Interstate 640 and opening a third lane of Interstate 40 near Rutledge Pike.
Although I-40 downtown was reopened June 12 to traffic after a more than 13-month closure, work crews still had to restore the area's road system to its previous configuration. That work began Tuesday night.
Workers began at 9 p.m. Tuesday repaving the interchange of I-640 East and I-40 East near Papermill Road. The task was finished by 6 a.m.
On Wednesday night, road crews converged on the interchange of I-640 West and I-40 West on the west side of the city and repaved traffic lanes that had been re-striped in preparation for the June 12 opening.
Crews from 9 p.m. Thursday to 6 a.m. today were slated to repave the interchange of I-640 East and I-40 East near the Asheville Highway exit. That work also will result in opening the third lane of I-40 East that's been closed since last year.
Although the interchange had already been re-striped to reduce eastbound I-640 from three to two lanes, road planners opted to leave eastbound I-40 with two lanes at the time.
"We really didn't have time to get that done in one night," said Mark Dykes, regional safety coordinator for the Tennessee Department of Transportation.
"We knew we had to go back in there and repave, so we decided to wait until that work to open that third lane."
By the time workers get done at 6 a.m. today, eastbound I-40 travelers will have an extra lane.
Despite the bottleneck of lanes for eastbound I-40 from three to two lanes between the Rutledge Pike and Asheville Highway interchanges, Dykes said traffic has not been snarled in that area.
"Two lanes have handled it well," Dykes said. "There haven't been any backups in that area."
The final paving job associated with the SmartFIX40 project is scheduled 9 p.m. today to 6 a.m. Saturday. At that time workers will repave the I-640 West and I-40 West interchange on the east side of the city, Dykes said.
In September, however, drivers can expect more paving on I-40. Plans call for repaving the westbound and eastbound lanes of I-40 between the Rutledge Pike interchanges and the Holston River bridge.

we have had a very good experience with him. he listened to our problems and we went from their. very informative about the whole case and sensitive about the whole thing. he acted very quickly on our case and was over with in no time. he is a great lawyer and good in what he does. I would not ask for anything more from him. thank you Gordon for all your help in everything you have done for us. we consider you our friend and a great lawyer I cannot thank you enough. I would recommend you to anyone. once again thank you. the hesters

Stay away from this law firm. They are not only ineffective in their ability to represent you they are frustrating to deal with. The receptionist, Deanna (sp?) is rude at best and does not follow through. They do not keep you informed and leave you hanging. It appears they have a poor relationship with other law offices in that they can not get a timely response and are unable to get action taken. I've waited over a month for them to get an opposing attorney to release two bank accounts that were garnished. The bank says they have yet to be notified and it is Nicols' office that must have the opposing attorney send the release. Nicols' office refuses to provide me the contact to follow through and yet they say ??? that they call every day. I do not believe them and therefore can not recommend them to even my worst enemy.

I did not actually meet with Mr. Nicol, instead for the price of $5,000. I met with his quite charming assistant. I found the assistant to be very nice and comforting whenever we met; however, when it came time for my case to go to court, I was in the dark. I was told a lawyer (not G. Nicol) would meet with me in the lobby. That did not happen. I was told the assistant would call me the day of my hearing-that did not happen. When I complained via email, I was told I would hear get a full explanation "first thing the following day...9:30-10:00"-that did not happen.
I had a hearing on a Thursday; was called by the secretary to complete my second class and turn in my certificate by Monday. My case had not actually gone through. A chapter 7 was converted to a chapter 13. My case was by no means over. I was NOT supposed to take the second class. My apology for the secretary was she "was given a list of names to call and tell them all the same thing. She did not know my case was different."
I accept the changes that were made in my situation; what is unacceptable is lack of customer care. I feel that the office is making a fortune by processing as many bankruptcy and foreclosure cases as they can process through the legal factory. I was told in the beginning that I would be informed every step of the way. Two years later and counting, I could not be MORE uninformed!

I joined a legal club and this guy was recommended. I went to see him. I could only speak to an assistant who was not a lawyer. They said I neded to pay 750 to review file for dividing family estate against an unwilling sister who was executive. Before I paid I wanted to meet lawyer. We did. I was stressed and hired him. After 6 weeks I called to see what will be done next. I did not receive a response. I asked for my file back and my money. They gave me part of my file and no money.
Posted by Barbara
I was so scared but once I talked to Mr. Nicol and his staff they were on our side. They worked so hard for us and the outcome was unbelievable. We could not have asked for better representation on this legal matter. They are fair in price and work hard for their clients.
Posted by John & Alison
This team did an amazing job of getting my husband and me out of our timeshare contract. I would recommend Gordon T. Nicol to anyone who needs legal help as he "gets the job done". Thank you so much for everything that your team did for us. We will never forget all of the help that you gave.
Posted by a Bankruptcy client
Although the Florida Bar said that Mr. Nicol and his office staff would not be disciplined for "isolated instances of negligence" it is our personal opinion that a lawyer who does not follow their clients wishes needs to be discharged immediately. Several important mistakes made in our case show a lack of professionalism and lack of attention to detail that a lawyer and his staff should have paid to our case, in our opinion. When in good faith we came to discuss what were obvious errors made, he yelled at us and treated us rudely and told us to leave his office. We strongly urge you to avoid hiring him as your attorney. Please see Florida Bar File No. 2011-00,410 (4D) to read the details of the case and Mr. Nicol's response to our complaints.
Posted by Jim
I was in a car accident and badly injured by a drunk driver. Mr. Nicol represented me to recover compensation not only for my injury, but, ongoing medical expenses. Mr. Nicol is a hard hitting negotiator and gets results.
Posted by a Family client
Appreciated all his help and staff availability. My case was family law and at the time it was sensitive and difficult. Gordon was able to ensure the best interest of myself and child was taken care of. He also was very thorough and upront on what he and his staff was in control of and what steps could be taken. I would and have recommended Gordon again.

It does not matter what your faith is or if you are an atheist, etc. NOBODY should be forced into having a chip implanted into their body without their consent to do so! We seem to all agree on this! Act quickly to get your State Representatives and Legislatures to pass Bills (laws) to protect us from this occurring in the near future!

FGF2 Signaling in Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts Is Crucial for Self-Renewal of Embryonic Stem CellsDiecke S. · Quiroga-Negreira A. · Redmer T. · Besser D.

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be maintained undifferentiated (pluripotent) or differentiated to basically all functional cell types, depending on the culture conditions used. Culture of hESCs in the presence of medium conditioned by mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) can be used to keep hESCs undifferentiated. This observation suggests that MEFs produce factors required for the pluripotency of hESCs. The data presented here show that fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) treatment of MEFs is crucial for the production of these factors. To identify the potential factors that are expressed in the presence of FGF2 in MEFs, a global expression profile analysis using microarrays was performed. This analysis indicated that 17 secreted factors are downregulated in the absence of FGF2. These factors include several ligands for known signaling receptors, extracellular proteases and components of the extracellular matrix, that may all be involved in signaling events. Surprisingly, we found that selective blocking of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling by the MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitor U0126 affected the expression of only some of the FGF2-regulated genes, suggesting FGF2-induced pathways that are independent of ERK signaling. It has been shown recently that activation of Activin/Nodal signaling and inhibition of bone morphogenetic protein signaling are required for the maintenance of pluripotency. Accordingly, among the 17 FGF2-regulated genes we found inhibin βB that can lead to the assembly of Activin B and gremlin 1 that codes for an antagonist of bone morphogenetic proteins. This study identifies potentially important factors involved in the maintenance of pluripotency in hESCs and may allow the development of defined culture conditions without contaminating material from animal cells.

Whole Wheat Tortillas
|Whole wheat flour
|2 Cup (32 tbs)
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|4 Tablespoon
|Lukewarm water
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|All-purpose flour
|3 Tablespoon
Combine whole wheat flour and salt in a mixing bowl.
With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles fine crumbs.
Add water gradually, tossing with a fork to mix.
Turn out onto a board and knead for a minute or two until well mixed.
Shape into a ball; cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
Divide and shape dough into 8 balls for 9-inch tortillas, 12 balls for 6-inch tortillas.
Keep balls covered to prevent them from drying out.
On a board lightly dusted with all-purpose flour, roll out one ball at a time as thin as possible.
As each tortilla is shaped, place in a preheated ungreased heavy frying pan or on a griddle over medium-high heat.
Almost immediately, blisters should appear.
Use a wide spatula to press gently but firmly all over the top.
Blisters will form over most of surface as you press.
Turn and cook to brown the other side.
Stack cooked tortillas in a tightly covered dish or wrap tightly in foil to keep them soft.
Serve while still warm; or cool tortillas, wrap airtight, and refrigerate.
To reheat tortillas, wrap with foil, and heat in a 350° oven for 15 minutes.

My 2 y/o son has started asking to use the potty, he doesn't actually "go" yet but I like to indulge his curiosity in the whole process, but the whole diaper on/ diaper off process just so he can sit and not go on the potty is starting to get old. It seems the logical thing (as I certainly don't want to discourage his willingness to try) is to switch from diapers to training pants, at least when we're at home. I did my own research for the cloth diapers, which led to me having 6 different types and only 2 pairs of diapers I actually like, so to save myself a repeat of that whole nonsense I was wondering if any of you could tell me what you used for training pants and how you felt about them. Thanks so much!
We used Hanna Andersson's training unders. They were relatively thick. I couldn't find anything else I liked quite as much.

We're using Super Undies for naps and night-time. Cute, and they have different styles, some with snaps on the back for messes, some just pull on.
Can you sew at all? (I mean even a little tiny bit??) I made these tinkle time trainers. They were super easy and I loved them! I made two sets since we did EC, a size sm that fit from about 7 mos to 13 mos, and a size M that fit DS until he graduated at 18 mos. I'd say a medium or large would do you.
I ordered 1 pair from here to get a sense for the fabrics and how to put them together. Of course these were much more perfect than mine, but mine did the trick and cost about $4 each to make!

For early training I really like imse vimse training pants with built in PUL. They retain value you quite well. We usually those and switch to regular (glorious Hanna Anderson) underwear.

I've been asked by a family friend to completely overhaul the website for their business. I've designed my own website, so I know some of the basics of web design and development.
To work on their website from my own home, I know I'll need to FTP into their server, and therefore I'll need their FTP credentials, as well as their CMS credentials. I'm meeting with them in a couple of days and I don't want to look like a moron! Is there anything else I need to ask them for during our first meeting (aside from what they want in their new site, etc.) before I start digging into it?

Ehalt: The American Pharoah factor
Four weeks after American Pharoah's coronation as the sport's first Triple Crown winner in 37 years, some future plans lacked the usual clarity.
Four weeks after American Pharoah's coronation as the sport's first Triple Crown winner in 37 years, some future plans lacked the usual clarity.
Triple Crown winner American Pharoah continued to prep for the William Hill Haskell Invitational with a half-mile work in :47 3/5 seconds Monday at Santa Anita.
Big Blue Kitten surged late to win his second edition of the $500,000 United Nations Stakes Sunday at Monmouth Park.
Merry Meadow made her return to the races a winning one, taking the $250,000 Princess Rooney Stakes at Gulfstream Park.
Force the Pass delivered a career-best performance Saturday in the $1.25 million Belmont Derby, making a powerful rail-skimming move heading into the far turn.
Runner-up in last year's Salvator Mile, Bradester would not be denied in this year's edition Sunday at Monmouth Park.
Lady Eli preserved her perfect record and dazzled in the $1 million Belmont Oaks, collecting the second Grade 1 stakes score of her career in dominant fashion at Belmont Park.
Favorite Tale got a quick jump out of the gate and never looked back to upset reigning champion sprinter Work All Week the Smile Sprint Stakes.

Owner Ahmed Zayat has told ESPN.com that the $1 million Haskell Invitational on Aug. 2 will be the setting for the Triple Crown winner's next race.
Is there a potential superstar out there, waiting for just the right moment to emerge and dazzle?
American Pharoah's owner told ESPN.com that interest in the horse's breeding has been so great around the world that it could draw near-historic prices for a first-year stallion.
The Triple Crown is indeed that special and revered. If you can pull it off, you belong among the most elite collection of horses to ever grace a racetrack with no questions asked.
Maybe owner Ahmed Zayat and trainer Bob Baffert have already decided where American Pharoah will run next. Maybe they haven't.
Hard Aces claimed the $500,000 Gold Cup by a nose over Hoppertunity on Saturday at Santa Anita under Triple Crown-winning jockey Victor Espinoza.
What's the hardest thing to be found in horse race handicapping? It's all hard.
Trainer Bob Baffert couldn't have anticipated this, but he has become the face of the sport, its ambassador to popular culture, and American Pharoah has become its cover boy.

There is a growing realization that entrepreneurs don't necessarily have to emerge from business schools—some emerge through other academic disciplines like engineering or music, some drop out of school to pursue their startups, and some avoid post-secondary education altogether. But that doesn't mean that entrepreneurs can't come from business schools. And if you ask business school students themselves, they would tell you that the Worcester Polytechnic Institute is at the top of the list.
Bloomberg BusinessWeek's series on the "Best Undergraduate Business Schools 2013" evaluates the opinions of undergraduate business students from 124 schools on everything about their school "from getting in to getting a job." Of course, all alumni have a bias toward their alma mater and this survey was no different. The average "grade" given to each school was somewhere between an A- and a B+ -- so consider these rankings accordingly.

|Pierce to strike again for charity
|11.15.09 at 11:19 pm ET
On Monday evening Paul Pierce will trade his basketball sneakers for bowling shoes at 'The Truth Strikes Again,' a celebrity bowling tournament to raise funds for the Truth on Health Campaign and FitClub 34 by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. Pierce is scheduled to be joined by his teammates, including Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins, Rasheed Wallace, Glen Davis, Eddie House, Marquis Daniels, Tony Allen, Brian Scalabrine, Lester Hudson, and Bill Walker. The event will take place at Kings Lanes in Dedham. For more information on Pierce's initiatives, visit www.paulpierce.net.
|Walker makes unexpected return
|11.11.09 at 11:19 pm ET
Bill Walker didn't expect to hear his name called on Wednesday night. Even though he felt ready to play, he didn't know if Doc Rivers felt the same.
'Actually I think he wanted me to get one more practice in, get more acclimated with everything before he wanted to put me in, but he just happened to put me in,' said Walker following the Celtics 105-86 win over the Jazz.
Walker had not played in the regular season since tearing the meniscus in his right knee during training camp. But with Brian Scalabrine sidelined, Rivers turned to Walker to give Rasheed Wallace a rest. He checked into his first game with just over two minutes left in the fourth quarter.
'I felt ready,' he said. 'I felt pretty good after Monday's practice. One thing that was missing was probably my conditioning. It's a different type of conditioning from just running to actually getting out there, trying to dodge guys, getting hit, that type of thing. I'll be fine though.'
Walker, who has suffered several knee injuries in the past, will take all the precautions to make avoid any irritation.
'Icing and rest, just get off my legs,' he explained. 'Just take advantage of the down time we have and come in early tomorrow, get treatment, still work on everything I need to work on on my lower body.'
As Walker works his way back on to the court, he will judge his progress in practice. There is one play he looks forward to accomplishing again.
'You finally get out there and you're chasing Ray [Allen] off a screen and you're in front of him when he comes off of it,' he said with a laugh. 'That's a signal because not a lot of guys can do that. But I don't know, it's just getting out there and playing and not really favoring or thinking about your injury. That's when you know you're back.'
|Celtics generous in win over Jazz
|at 11:00 pm ET
There is a reason why the Celtics entered Wednesday's game leading the league in assists. It isn't only because of Rajon Rondo — point guards Steve Nash, Chris Paul, and Deron Williams are all ahead of him in dimes per game. It's because the Celtics as a team look to pass, and that ball movement and selflessness were determining factors in their win over the Jazz.
'Doc [Rivers] and Coach [Armond] Hill were just saying move the ball,' Rondo said after the Celtics 105-86 victory. 'It started in practice. We kept getting each other involved and we made plays for each other.'
The Celtics dished out 30 assists to the Jazz 18. Rondo accounted for 11, which totals more than Jazz starting guard Deron Williams and Ronnie Brewer combined.
They looked for not just one or two extra passes on Wednesday. One of the most significant possessions of the game involved four in the third quarter — Rondo to Ray Allen, Allen to Kendrick Perkins, Perkins behind the back to Kevin Garnett, Garnett back to Rondo for the lay in.
That sequence was memorable to many, but Rondo is so accustomed to sharing the ball that it was just another trip down the floor for him.
'I don't even remember the play,' he said. 'I think it was like five passes maybe, but I don't remember how I got there.'
If the Celtics continue to see each other on the court like they did against the Jazz, they will remember how they ended up in the win column throughout the season.
|Veterans Day has special meaning for Allen
|at 7:17 pm ET
Wednesday night is more than just another game for Ray Allen. Veterans Day has a special meaning for the guard who grew up in a military home.
Allen's father, Master Sergeant Walt Allen, spent 26 years in the Air Force. The senior Allen, who battled cancer this summer, made the trip from South Carolina to attend his first game since the 2008 season.
"When you say today is Veteran's Day, that's why I think about where I've come from," Allen said prior to game against the Jazz. "I come from a background of a lot of great military presence. So any time I see any soldier, I love seeing soldiers. I run into Marines all the time and it's always great to sit down and talk to them. You just always say thank you, thank you for your services, thank you for being selfless because to put your life in harm's way is something that a lot of people would not do."
Allen depicted his military upbringing in T-Shirt designed to benefit World Diabetes Day. (His son Walker was diagnosed with the disease during the 2008 playoffs.) The graphic follows a paper plane, representing the armed services, and traces through several basketballs that eventually end at his uniform number, 20.
On the front of the shirt it reads, "W.W.J.S.D." (What Would Jesus Shuttlesworth Do?) The back of the shirt displays the quote, "No Journey is Too Great When One Finds What He Seeks," one of Allen's favorite lines from the movie "Coming to America."
He uses the quote as motivation to fight against diabetes. It can also pertain to the military's journey to protect the country.
"I'm just grateful for them because they protect our freedoms here," said Allen. "We get to play basketball but we're playing here so we can do this what we're doing and we can encourage and motivate them while they're watching us play. So they're protecting us and I appreciate it."
(For more information on Allen's t-shirt to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, visit www.muzeclothing.com)
|House Stays Hot with Suns
|at 1:03 am ET
To Celtics fans, he is known as 'E-House.' To Channing Frye, Eddie House has another nickname.
'I call him the 'Cheat Code,' really because every time he shoots you think it's going in,' Frye said. 'Like in a video game, a basketball game, you put one person into one spot and they're going make it every time. And that's him. Yeah, he's the 'Cheat Code.' '
Frye came up with the moniker after watching House drain trey after trey, day after day this summer. House, who played in Phoenix during the 2005-06 season, lives in Arizona during the offseason. He trained with Frye and the Suns before reporting to training camp in Boston.
'That's the best runs that you can get in Arizona,' House explained. 'So as soon as those guys start getting into town, I go up there and we get some runs.'
House donned his Celtics workout gear and hit the court with the Suns to stay hot during the offseason. He capped off last regular season by breaking the Celtics franchise record previously set by Danny Ainge for 3-point shooting in a single season (.444). The Suns were impressed by the skills that earned him that mark.
'Any time he's open it's like, 'Dang it's going in,' ' said Jason Richardson.
Added Frye, 'We were playing to 15 and he'd make five 3's ' one, two, three, four, five ' boom, game over.'
Grant Hill chimed in as well.
'I tell you what, that guy did not miss. He's a great shooter,' Hill said. 'There were some days that he got hot, and when a guy like him gets going it can be fun to watch.'
|Grousbeck: Green days for C's
|11.06.09 at 1:05 am ET
Are the Green concerned about their greenbacks?
That financial question was raised in a recent article on Yahoo! Sports, which suggested co-owner Wyc Grousbeck's consideration of suspending injured Glen Davis had less to do with discipline and more to do with money.
Just months after signing a two-year deal worth over $6 million, Davis broke his thumb fighting a childhood friend and will be sidelined for at least six weeks. Reports then surfaced that the team was looking to take back some of the salary. Days after the Davis episode subsided, the Celtics committed $55 million to Rajon Rondo over the next five years.
Coupling the money owed to an injured Davis with their recent spending spree on Rondo, is Grousbeck concerned about the team's finances? Quite the opposite. In fact, the Celtics are on a record-setting pace for revenue as they feature a reloaded team contending for another trophy.
'On the contrary, we are on course to set a new record for revenues thanks to our fantastic fan support and support from our sponsors and broadcast partners,' Grousbeck told WEEI.com via email. 'We appreciate everything they have done to support the team.'
Rondo's new deal is a major financial obligation for a team who already has over $32 million tied up with starters Rondo, Kevin Garnett, and Kendrick Perkins next season alone. Next summer they will face Paul Pierce's $21.5 million player option and will also have to address Ray Allen's unrestricted free agency.
That's just the starting lineup. The Celtics will also face the question of building their bench as role players including Marquis Daniels, Eddie House, Brian Scalabrine, Tony Allen, and Shelden Williams have expiring contracts.
The new-look Celts have been nothing short of a hit sensation. They are off to a 6-0 start two years removed from their 17th title and one year removed from reaching the Eastern Conference Semifinals with an undermanned/overachieving team.
And regardless of their upcoming financial commitments, Grousbeck remains confident the organization is prepared to continue its pursuit for another championship.
Said Grousbeck, 'I thank the fans and sponsors and will do everything I can to keep a winning team on the floor.'
|Fast Break: Celtics – Timberwolves
|11.04.09 at 10:42 pm ET
Playing in front of a sea of No. 5 jerseys, the Timberwolves were determined to prove themselves against Kevin Garnett and the Celtics. But in the end it was Garnett himself who forced a jumball to secure a 92-90 win for the Celtics, in Minnesota.
Player of the game: Rajon Rondo was outplayed by rookie Jonny Flynn in the first half, scoring just two points. Then he turned it on in the third quarter. Rondo posted 14 points in the third to bring the Celtics back into the game. He didn't just put the ball in the hoop ' he baffled the Timberwolves defense, fought to get open, and burned his opponents with quick-thinking plays at the basket. Rondo finished the night with 18 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds, and 3 steals.
Turning point of the game: With over 10 lead changes in this game, the deciding play came with 3.6 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Up 92-90, the Celtics were fighting to fend off the Timberwolves game-winning/tying attempt. Garnett forced the jumpball against a driving Corey Brewer and eventually iced the victory for the Celtics.
* Big men dominated the first quarter. Al Jefferson led all scorers with 13 points (6-10 FG) while Kendrick Perkins led the Celtics with a perfect 4-for-4 from the field (8 points).
* Rasheed Wallace added another T to his resume when he got whistled for a technical from the Celtics bench during the second quarter. It was reminiscent of Sam Cassell getting ejected from the sidelines last season without ever actually playing in the game.
* The Celtics were outrebounded 21-16 in the first half. Pierce was the only starter without a board in the first two quarters. Ryan Gomes, on the other hand, had five for the Timberwolves at the three-spot.
* Even though Rondo had the hot hand coming out of halftime, Doc Rivers played up the Celtics strengths and subbed in House at the end of the quarter. The strategy paid off as a well-defended Pierce kicked the ball off to House for the game-tying three as time expired in the quarter. The Celtics carried that momentum into the fourth.
* Kevin Garnett recorded a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds. It was his first since opening night against the Cavaliers (13 points, 10 rebounds).
* Timberwolves big man Oleksiy Pecherov made a name for himself with 24 points (9-14 FG) to lead all scorers.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Matthew Chapman, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Friday, 23 September 2011 12:23PM
Nearly 33 million people in the UK are now playing video games, but media spend in the sector only stood at £17.4m for the entire of 2010, according to the IAB.
The £17.4m advertising figure was broken down into three different types: fixed-in game advertising accounted for 9.6% of the total; dynamic-in-game advertising stood at 36.4%, and display advertising accounted for 54%.
However, fixed in-game deals are generally large-scale global or regional deals and they are much more popular than this set of UK stats may indicate, because the statistics only capture the UK share of the global deal.
The research is unveiled in the 'Gaming Britain: A Country United by Digital Play' report, which was delivered in association with agency Kantar Media, which conducted a nationally representative sample of 4,000 respondents – 3,000 adults (16- to 65-year-olds) and 1,000 children aged between eight and 15.
Brands also have an opportunity to capitalise on the gaming sector from product placement. FMCG brands are currently making the most of product placement with brands including Energizer batteries and Lynx taking part in the practice.
The shift in consumer gaming behaviour is being driven by new multi-purpose devices such as tablets, smartphones and internet-enabled consoles and bolstered by the rise of social networking games.
The IAB has also isolated seven types of gamer through the research, encompassing all ages, from sixth-formers through to pensioners.
These include: Networkers; Individualists; Interactors; Gaming Elite; Casual Players; PC Opportunists and New Gen Players.
The boom in popularity among gamers is being driven by the rise of controller-free controllers, including PlayStation Move and Xbox Kinect.
Research shows consumers are much more engaged than other media when gaming, because it requires more concentration and limits multi-tasking.
Jack Wallington, the IAB's head of industry programmes, said: "The 'Gaming Britain' report proves that playing video games is a mainstream activity enjoyed by over half of the UK population, demonstrating incredibly high levels of engagement compared to other media. It's a premium opportunity for brands to reach consumers when they are at their most focused."

hi all...firstly, yes I have done a bit of searching but the list of results I got back are far to much to sift through while sneakily reading at work. and the end of the day is looming and the road is wet.
I've just fitted some E09 Dakars on my 2010 Tenere 660. Standard tyre sizes (from memory 130/80-17 and 90/90-21)
Also note that I've got 30 odd years of riding under the belt and have bikes of the road variety, dirt and in between and ridden with lots of different tyres and conditions.
I'm only maybe 200Kms into the tires and haven't had any confidence on the road with them yet (offroad, gravel only at this stage, i'm in love). Its hard to explain but they feel like they are squirming and don't hold a straight line. After cornering with the intial tip in being very quick but getting used to that it seems to take a bit to find a straight line after cornering. Initially I thought the pressures were wrong so I went with a road style pressure of 30psi front and 34psi rear (from being fitted they seemed very low at around 18-22psi from memory). This felt worse. dropped back down to 28psi front and back and maybe a bit better but still strange feeling. Am I running too high still? what does everyone recommend?
Also the front edge seems to have worn quite rapidly despite trying to behave on the throttle.
very keen to know your thoughts and ideas before hitting the road to go home tonight.
