1. Kobe Bryant 6-6 Los Angeles Lakers
Analyis: Kobe has 4 rings, multiple scoring titles, 10+ all star game appearences, and an MVP trophy. Not to mention he won his first finals MVP award. He is on top and will be for a few more years.
2. Dwayne Wade 6-4 Miami Heat
Analysis: Averages 30.7 points. Led the Heat back to the playoffs. Besides LeBron James and Bryant he is the biggest showstopper in the NBA.
3. Brandon Roy 6-6 Portland Trail Blazers
Analysis: Lead a very young Blazers team to the playoffs. Averaged over 22 pts and almost 5 assists. Was very clutch throughout the regular season.
4. Ray Allen 6-5 Boston Celtics
Analysis: The best shooter in the game. Shot over 40% from the 3pt line despite shooting a great volume of 3s. He was clutch throughout the playoffs and shown he carry a team in big games despite his age.
5. Vince Carter 6-6 Orlando Magic
Analysis: Is considered to be old and falling off. But Carter still puts up over 20 a game despite being the main focus of the defense. Look to see the strongest season from Carter now that he will be playing the superb talent around him.
6. Manu Ginobili 6-6 San Antonio Spurs
Analysis: Injured most of last year. But when healthy is extremely valuable to what the Spurs have done. He is one the most productive players per 48 minutes in the league.
7. Joe Johnson 6-7 Atlanta Hawks
Analysis: Brought playoff basketball back to Atlanta. Averaged 21 points and still in his prime.
8. Andre Igoudala 6-6 Philadelphia 76ers
Analysis: The leader of a team that is looking to become perrenial playoff contenders. He is a great defender and is an underrated passer averaging over 5 assists per game.
9. Tracy McGrady 6-8 Houston Rockets
Analysis: Yes, T-Mac hasn't been healthy but look for him to come back and in border all-star fashion this year.
10. Richard Hamilton 6-6 Detriot Pistons
Analysis: One the best mid range shooters in the NBA. Solid defender and is always in the playoffs.

Top 10 Shooting Guards in the NBA
I agree with almost everything you said (especially T-Mac needs to go) but there was one thing i did not agree with and that was:
His defense isn't there but aside from Kobe, Wade and AI-there aren't many top flight defenders
I am not just saying this because i am a Hawks fan but if you watch Joe Johnson's defense he is the leader of that team. His defense is always outshadowed by his offensive game. Yes he is a big SG at 6' 7" 201 lbs, and yes he is a great iso player and can back most SG's down in the league because of his size, but for being such a big guard he can surprisingly keep up with other smaller quick guards in the league. Joe plays lockdown defense and he is a great defender.
Now that is just my opinion and I believe it should be accepted because, you may say im calling this out of fanhood, but i watch almost every game of the season and i personally go to about 5 to 7 games a year and am enamored by Joe's all around game. And when you put him up against carter, manu, t mac, rip, and bg, you CANNOT tell me that Joe plays the same kind of lax defense that those names play.................. However, that is just my opinion.
Although im not here saying that he is the best defender in the game, don't mistake me for that. But out of all the SG's in the NBA i would definately say that joe's defense is easily in the top 5.

Top 10 Shooting Guards in the NBA
I am diehard Pistons fan and while Rip is THE best mid range shooter and a solid defender, I would take him off and replace him with our new SG, Ben Gordon. Did anyone watch that Bulls-Celtics series? Ray Allen is #4 and he may deserve it on accomplishments, especially in crunch time. Gordon perpetually is the top or one of the top 4th quarter scorers and he WANTS the ball. His defense isn't there but aside from Kobe, Wade and AI-there aren't many top flight defenders. That was a Ray Allen- Ben Gordon series and it took a superhuman performace from a sure fire HOF to edge him out. I am atleast surprised, he hasn't garnered attention. T-Mac needs to go.
The problem with your list is that most of those players primarily play small forward Kobe, Wade, Roy, Allen, Carter, Manu, Johnson, T-Mac, Rip- All SG's. Only Andre Iguodala is a SF who matches up against both SG/SF and with him being #8 on the list, you can't argue because of the hybrid players these days.

Well if he took McGrady off and did not put Ginobili on who could he substitute??? Kevin Durant??? I can't really think of anyone NOT on the list that is any higher on the waiting list than Manu (as much as it pains me to say that. I HATE the Spurs with every bone in my body)

Glad to see you ranked B-Roy so high -- and I can't say I disagree. I would not include McGrady on the list because he hasn't shown the last couple years that he can stay on the court. And I wouldn't substitute Ginobili for him, because you have to question what he's going to give you after last year's injuries.

I can see your point about Brandon Roy. Not to mention his work ethic is one of the best in the NBA. Averaged 16+ points as a rookie and won ROY honors (not brandon ROY honors but Rookie Of the Year honors haha). I agree Ray Ray is a great player also. I witnessed him be virtually invisible in the playoff series against ATL two years back (i went to game 3 and game 6) and then have a breakout series against the Cavs the next series. He is a great player but I also give Brandon Roy the edge based on skills NOW. Not what they have done in their career because that is just unfair to compare a vet's stats to a young players. Thats like comparing Chris Paul's stats to Steve Nash's career stats. They are both great but Nash's career stats are clearly better. But back to Brandon Roy and Ray Allen, I have to say that RIGHT NOW Brandon Roy is a much more feared player because he can not only shoot but he is a great dribble penetrator and can go up strong and finish at the rim. Something he has a CLEAR edge over Ray Ray at.........

I put B-Roy here because the engine of a playoff team. If you watch the blazers you know that brandon roy is that team. I would love to put Ray Allen at #3 because he is my favorite player but b-roy does too much to not be above ray allen. But this is very arguable.

Richard Hamilton has GOT to be above T-Mac Andre and (unfortunately) JJ. He has won MULTIPLE rings and was a pivotal part of the Motor City Success back in the day. The BEST player in the game at moving without the ball. Not the quickest guard in the game but makes up for it with smarts and agility. Rip is one of the smartest SG's in the game now along with Kobe and Ray Ray no doubt.

"Between Friends" opens in the amphitheater at Lincoln State Park
Correspondence between president, top generals is focus
After writing two unproduced plays about Abraham Lincoln, the Rev. Gavin Barnes wrote the third for himself, never expecting to see it staged.
The 85-year-old Benedictine monk will do that, Friday, however, when "Between Friends" opens in the amphitheater at Lincoln State Park in Lincoln City, Ind.
A community production of the new play will run two weekends, opening the 2012 season in the state park's 1,500-seat covered amphitheater.
"Between Friends" looks at President Abraham Lincoln's relationships with his two most trusted generals, Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman, during the Civil War.
Barnes is a Benedictine monk who has taught and directed plays for nearly four decades at Saint Meinrad College in St. Meinrad, Ind.
"I've been studying the Civil War since 1969," said Barnes, but he'd never appreciated the friendship that developed, largely through letters exchanged among the president and the generals. "Lincoln never even met Grant until 1864, but they had been corresponding since 1861."
After reading through eight published volumes of Lincoln's Civil War correspondence and comments in the generals' own memoirs, "it occurred to me that something very special happened between these men in those four years," Barnes said. The language in their letters to one another and to others revealed a growing friendship based on "respect, honor, admiration and,ultimately, deep feelings," he said.
"I decided to write the play for my own enjoyment, to do something for the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War. Someone on the board for the amphitheater heard about and asked if they could read it. Then they said, 'Let's do it.'"
The cast came to him for the early readings and rehearsals before Bud Schaaf, the play's associate director, took rehearsals to the Lincoln Amphitheatre. Negotiating all the steps at the amphitheater is difficult at his age, Barnes said, but he has made it out for a couple of rehearsals.
"The strongest thing about the play is its dialogue" among Lincoln and the generals, he said. "That's because an amazing amount of it is in their own words."
"Between Friends," which he expects to last about 1¾ hours with one intermission, will run through May 5, playing at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays with a single, 2 p.m. matinee Sunday.
Tickets are $18 for adults; $15 for those 55 and older, students 7 to 21 years old and those in the military; and $5 for children 6 and younger. Meals, catered by The Chateau restaurant, may be ordered seven days in advance for an additional price.

" Brand: Asda / Type: Dress / Clothing Class: Casual Wear "
As a larger sized gal, I'm always looking for clothes that will help disguise the areas of my body that I dislike ... Tie Dye print not only is one of THE prints of 2013, which I suspect will carry on into 2014, but also cleverly covers a multitude of body hang ups. The splashes of dye trick the eye into making the body look slimmer by hiding any curves (that aren't supposed to be there!)
I love the tie dye print of this dress because I can finally wear something thats different. Normally I stick to block colours fearing that bright colours will over expose my flaws and any lines might curve around my body, making me look larger than normal.
Not only does the print help disguise body shape, but the material helps as well. It's a stretchy viscous material that isn't too clingy. The material doesn't stretch from the washing machine, I don't tumble dry so I can't comment but it does say that you can tumble dry the dress.
I've worn it with a pair of black heels on a night out, and with a blazer for a day in the office, it is a great versatile dress.
I am 5'5" and the dress is slightly too long on me. But nonetheless a great dress that I can wear to many occasions.
Around Christmastime I knew I and my flatmate/bestmate were going to Coventry to spend it with my parents. As happy as I was at the prospect it still gave me a slight problem. I love clothes and at 36 I still like short skirts and dresses, low cut tops and thigh high boots. I love to dress up as much as possible however my parents hate all that and I decided that instead of my fashion sense being the hot topic of conversation around the table whilst trying to enjoy a turkey extravaganza I would tone it down a little for there behalf. I went to my wardrobe and had no 'toned down' clothes to pick from and so this is what led me to Asda ina bit of a panic to find something conversative. I was really pleased however they had a sale on ( and still do I spotted this dress instore yesterday still on offer) and this particular dress is at the moment reduced from £12.50 to £4.50 (also available on asdadirect.com). After trying it on, although I wouldn't say this dress was really very me I did like the fit and the black and white print and felt it looked nice and at the price it got me out of trouble anyway!
The Dress Itself:
This is classed as a jersey dress being made from 96% Viscose, 4% Elastane. It's length is 135cm / 53 inches (approximately) and it has a scoop neck that really isn't very revealing at all and half sleeves which come to the elbow area.
This dress is really stretchy and I'm 5.8 and this comes to just above my ankles so I do advise people to try this on before purchasing it. The dress in the main is black with a white, bold floral print both front and back, it is machine washable and able to be tumble dried (on a low heat though) and ironed and I have had no problems with fade or fraying or anything else.
The dress is fluid, not clingy and comes in sizes 6-20. I am a true size 10 and find this to nip in at my waist slightly though to be a little looser on my hips and the skirt part is once again fluid and not tight.
In my opinion although this isn't my usual style it does look nice on, is soft and comfortable when being worn and can be slightly dressed up but is really, in my opinion a smart day time dress and a very well made one indeed! At £4.50 (at the moment) you can't go wrong with this one really!).
Only available from Asda.

Analysis of Five Track Event Performances at the Drake Relays by Age and Gender, 1978-2008

SubjectTrack and field athletes--Performance--Analysis; Track and field tournaments--Iowa--Des Moines; Track and field--Analysis; Drake Relays (Des Moines, Iowa)
We analyzed gender and age differences in Drake Relays performance times for 2 team (4x1OO and 4x400 m relays) and 3 solo (400 m hurdles, 800 m, 10K) track events for 31 years (1978-2008). The top 10 performances were taken each year for 4 groups: high school (HS) boys, HS girls, college/university (CIU) men, CIU women. Our data set included 4583 performances total, because not all ages/genders competed in all events or for the same number of years. HS athletes of both genders showed overall improvements in performance times. HS boys improved in 2 of their 3 events (4x1OO and 400 m hurdles) and showed no change in 4x400. Similarly, HS girls improved in 3 of their 4 events (4x1OO, 400 m hurdles, 800 m) and showed no change in 4x400. C/U athletes showed very different trajectories. Like the HS athletes, CIU women improved in 3 of their 5 events (4x1OO, 4x400, 400 m hurdles), showed no change in 800 m, and declined in 10K. By contrast, CIU men demonstrated statistically significant declines in running times for 4 of their 5 events except for 800 m where they demonstrated no change. Despite the improvements in female performance times, males were faster than females in all events for all years regardless of age. As the Drake Relays includes athletes from across the country, these differences likely reflect national trends and are possibly explained by forces such as increased pressure for youth sport specialization, declining popularity of track-and-field, and Title IX.

A prominent fanclub for Russia's biggest football team Zenit published a manifesto this week that attempts to justify their longstanding call for no black or gay players, saying it is important to preserve the traditional and national identity of the side.
The fan group has, however, denied being racist.
"We're not racists but we see the absence of black players at Zenit as an important tradition," Zenit fan club Landscrona said in a letter, called the "Selection 12 manifesto", posted on its website (www.landscrona.ru) on Monday.
"It would allow Zenit to maintain the national identity of the club, which is the symbol of St Petersburg."
"We only want players from other brotherly Slav nations, such as Ukraine and Belarus as well as from the Baltic states and Scandinavia. We have the same mentality and historical and cultural background as these nations," the letter said.
Their reasoning also mentions that they believe African players would struggle with the climate, and that they "want players closer to our soul and mentality to play for Zenit."
The fanclub isn't thrilled about homosexuality either, saying, "We are against the inclusion of representatives of sexual minorities in the Zenit team." They add that some of the other "human qualities" they want to see is a rejection of smoking and alcohol.
The football club has refused to comment directly on the racism and homophobia underpinning this manifesto, but has instead issued the following:
"Players get into our team not by nationalities and skin color but sporting qualities and achievements…
"Club policy is aimed at development and integration into the society of world football and does not uphold archaic views."
The club is the only top flight team in Russia to have never signed a black player and it has been reported that several "prominent black players" have turned down lucrative contracts with Zenit after receiving death threats.
This year saw Euro 2012 marred by racist chanting aimed at a black Czech football player by Russian supporters at the Russia vs Czech Republic match in Wroclaw, Poland. The match also saw violent acts against stewards carried out by Russia's supporters.
The Zenit controversy comes just as Amnesty International issues a call to Russia's lawmakers that they should at once cease any action on a bill that, like the St Petersburg law before it but on a national scale, would ban "promotion" of LGBT identity in the public square, under the guise of protecting children.
The law would make the promotion of homosexuality punishable with a fine up to 500,000 rubles (US$16,200).
"This law is an anachronism. It will promote stigmatization by perpetuating the view that children should be protected from homosexuality. It will discriminate against LGBTI people, in a country where discrimination on ground of sexual orientation and gender identity is already widespread," John Dalhuisen, Europe and Central Asia Programme Director at Amnesty International, is quoted as saying.
"This law will deny LGBTI people equality before the law by curtailing the activities of LGBTI human rights defenders, some of whom have already been harassed and assaulted. It will deprive LGBTI people of information that could be crucial for their sexual health."
The law, like the St Petersburg version before it, suffers from no actual explanation for what constitutes "propaganda of homosexuality" and thus could be used as an excuse to simply infringe on rights of freedom of speech and assembly.
The first reading of the ban is due to receive a vote this week.

One part (almost) made me laugh: "African players would struggle with the climate..." I know so many people of African descent who adapted really well to our Canadian weather! Not to mention my own father, who moved from Haiti to Canada and loves winter.
I guess they were trying to justify the unjustifiable... and failed, of course.
Not surprising, Russians even more nationalist, racist, and anti semite than before. This country is beyond ever trying to be progressive or truly European.
Sad and pathetic and wrong.
Thank you for sharing
they should be ashamed of themselves.
They are no different than white supremacists in North America. They are racists and bigots!
It should be against the law to deny anyone from participating!
Whoever can play should play. I don't see how race or sexuality has a qualification on how well one can play the sport.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Noel Bussey, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 14 October 2009 08:30AM
The new ad, which uses a similar theme to its banned predecessor, shows a conveyor belt of diseases including swine flu, mad cow disease, MRSA and E.Coli travelling from a factory farm to a consumer's mouth with the line: "Your demand for meat creates disease. Stop factory farming. Go veg now."
The banned ad was a billboard erected in Glasgow in June with the line "Meat kills. Go vegetarian", followed by the names of several deadly diseases, including swine flu, that are linked to intensive farming systems.
After one complaint, the ASA ruled that people could be confused by the ad into thinking that swine flu could be caused by the act of eating meat rather than the demand for meat.

An average Institution and Cafeteria Cook in the United States can expect to take home roughly $11.24 per hour. The pay spectrum stretches from $8.52 per hour to $15.28. Earnings for this group are mostly affected by geographic location, followed by career length and the particular employer. Institution and Cafeteria Cooks survey participants are largely women, dominating at 67 percent. Although over one-half have medical coverage and just over two-fifths have dental coverage, more than two-fifths claim no health benefits at all. Most Institution and Cafeteria Cooks report high levels of job satisfaction. The information for this rundown comes from respondents who completed PayScale's salary questionnaire.

Large institutions such as hospitals, hotels, and schools often have cafeterias for visitors and staff to order and eat food. Cafeteria cooks prepare and cook food for these guests that adhere to the relevant health guidelines and their institution's quality standards.Read More...
These professionals work indoors in a kitchen environment. They often collaborate with other cooks in the cafeteria and are responsible for documenting the ingredients required for the foods they are either asked to prepare or decide to prepare. Cooks who work at specialized institutions - for example, hospitals and assisted living facilities - may also be required to know the type of food that their clients can and cannot eat. This may also include preparing food choices that fit common dietary requirements, such as meals that are low in fat or contain no sugar. Cafeteria cooks must also follow the proper procedures for food waste and maintaining a sanitary workstation.
Cafeteria cooks must be able to efficiently establish an effective system for food preparation in the kitchen. This includes preparing their stations, cooking their food, serving a consistent portion size, and being able to adjust dishes if a client has special food related needs. They must able to prepare food under strict deadlines (such as specific lunch and dinner times), and they typically must be able to prepare food quickly and efficiently. The position may be both physically and mentally demanding; it also requires excellent communication skills with colleagues and, as needed, customers.
Cafeteria cooks generally need to provide proof of culinary arts and food preparation certification or accreditation from an accredited institution. Previous experience may be preferred.
Although Aramark Food Services leads the field in pay with a median salary of $25K, employees there receive a wide spread of salaries, from $17K on the low end all the way up to $33K at the top.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Institution and Cafeteria Cooks, more experience in the field does not usually mean bigger paychecks. Respondents with less than five years' experience take home $22K on average. In contrast, those who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably higher average of $24K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Institution and Cafeteria Cooks make a median salary of $25K.

Cristin Milioti will return to network TV this fall starring on the new NBC series A TO Z airing Thursdays, 9:30/8:30c. Get a First Look below!
About A TO Z:
This is the A-to-Z story of Andrew (Ben Feldman, Mad Men) and Zelda (Cristin Milioti,How I Met Your Mother) - a pair that almost wasn't - and all that happened from the day they met. Andrew has always been a secret romantic ... not above crooning to Celine Dion while driving to work, with dreams of finding "the one." He imagines her to be just like that shimmering beauty he spotted that night in that silver dress at that concert two years ago.
Zelda, having grown up with a hippie mom who believed the universe would provide for everything, rebelled into a no-nonsense practical lawyer who prefers the control of online dating. But when a computer glitch sends her a total mismatch, she's asked to come in for an interview at the Internet dating site where Andrew works, and this is where it all begins. Andrew and Zelda meet for the first time and despite their differences, sparks fly. She thinks it's chance. He thinks it's fate. After all, he's convinced she's the shimmering girl in the silver dress. Is it true love forever or just a detour in destiny?
Milioti starred as "Girl" in the Broadway SMASH hit musical "Once," for which she received a Grammy Award as well as a Tony Award nomination for Lead Actress. Milioti most recently appeared oppositeLeonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street." In addition to starring as 'The Mother' in the final season of CBS's HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, her television credits include "30 Rock," "The Sopranos," "The Good Wife" and "Nurse Jackie."

Some College Students Don't Consider Stimulant Drug Use 'Cheating'
Friday, May 9th, 2014
A new study presented to the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) this week reports that 18 percent of Ivy League college students admit to misusing stimulant drugs like Adderall (an ADHD medication) at least once to help them power through a rigorous homework or test-preparation situation. The study further found that a third of those students who used the drugs said they didn't consider their actions tantamount to "cheating." More from Boston.com:
Researchers at Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York surveyed 616 sophomores, juniors and seniors who were not known to have ADHD who attended an undisclosed Ivy League school. Sixty-nine percent of those surveyed said they took the medication to write an essay, 66 percent said they took it to study for a test, while 27 percent took the drugs before an exam, the study found.
Twenty-four percent of students at the college reported use of these drugs at least eight times, the study found. Those who were involved in extracurricular activities, sports, or are part of a fraternity or sorority were more likely to use stimulants.
"While many colleges address alcohol and illicit drug abuse in their health and wellness campaigns, most have not addressed prescription stimulant misuse for academic purposes," Dr. Andrew Adesman, chief of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York and lead author of the study said in a statement. "Because many students are misusing prescription stimulants for academic, not recreational purposes, colleges must develop specific programs to address this issue."
An estimated 40 percent believed using the drugs to enhance their academic performance is unethical, while 33 percent of the students did not see a problem with it. A quarter of the students surveyed were undecided.
The study did not assess whether the students found the practice to be dangerous to their health. Common side effects of misusing stimulant drugs include headaches, dizziness, chest pains and panic attacks. A report released August 2013 by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found emergency room visits for nonmedical use of stimulants among 18 to 34-year-olds tripled between 2005 and 2011.

Never settle for less!
I'm not like anyone you've ever met before. Unless you've already met me... stalker. :-) Sure, I could bore you with delusions of how wonderful I am, but lets face it, I'm sure you've already read this about two hundred times in all the other profiles... I believe that actions speak louder than words, so why bother? A lot of people have told me that I'm "special" or "gifted". I think they're jealous that I can count to 10, or 20 with my shoes off, and even to 22 in the shower. (don't ask) Anywhoo... I surround myself with optimistic people who are going somewhere in life, and no, I don't mean KFC. I'm very open-minded with an international outlook, a risk- taker who is always up for a new adventure. I love dogs, beaches, meaningful conversations, and traveling. I am very ambitious when it comes to my career and have achieved a lot (not planning to stop ) I keep very busy and love my life. I don't have the time or inclination to date everyone under the sun anymore, and I have no problem meeting people. I'm extremely selective, and am just fine if I don't meet anyone on here... BUT, if you're someone really really really special, I'd love to have you along for the ride and make our already great lives that much better. There's something very special about you. You are curious about the world around you. You can take a joke and are not easily offended. You believe that sarcasm is a spice of life. You can spell (without using spell check), and are generally happy. You want to see the world and travel, love to kiss and you cuddle like a cat on the sofa. You are thin, athletic, your eyes are bright and convey the depth of your spirit. You are beautiful inside and out, and you think you can actually keep up with me. The rest is negotiable. (well, you can't be a blood relative)

To kick off the 2014 campaign, fourteen contestants posted points, followed by a whopping eleven in May! We've long said "anyone can do it" when it comes to the Indoor Four Contest, but never has that been more true than the first two months of the season. This race is WIDE open!
So don't hesitate to make your selection — whether it's Mike Trout, Carlos Gomez, Billy Hamilton or Kurt Suzuki — 'cause while anyone can make the Splendid Sprint, if you want your particular player, you best act fast before someone else gets their hands on them.
Check the rules and list of nominated players, then make your choice and get in on a shot at the $100 Best Buy gift card!
The obligatory rules:
1. You may select one player per month. Once any single contestant has chosen a player, said player is designated for that month and cannot be chosen again until the following month. Selections can be made at any time throughout a given month but in order to be eligible for that day's games, must be done before 1 p.m. eastern standard time. Any selections made after 1 p.m. EST will be eligible for the remainder of the month beginning with the following day's games. Please note, some contestants will choose the same players – this is a first come, first served contest – whichever contestant submits his / her choice first will be awarded that particular player for that particular month. Contestants will receive email confirmation of the player successfully selected, and we will update this post daily, so be sure to come back to check the bottom of the post with the latest list of players chosen to better make your monthly selection. Any efforts to submit more than one entry per month will be disregarded and disqualify you for that given month.
2. This contest is based on all MLB official scorers rulings. Only officially scored inside-the-park home runs will be eligible. No triples with a one base error or any other creative score keeping.
3. If your player selection is placed on the disabled list, you may choose another player for the remainder of the month, but your original selection becomes a free-agent, so to speak, and can be chosen by another contestant once they return from the DL. Whichever player you choose as a replacement must be kept for the duration of the month.
4. Bugs & Cranks writers and staffers are not eligible to participate.
Point breakdown:
First Indoor Four of the month: 5
Each subsequent inside-the-park home run (by the same selected player in a given month): 8
All other Indoor Fours: 4
Greg Gagne special (two inside-the-park home runs in one game): 10
Ichiro special (All-Star Indoor Four): 5.1
Triples: 1
Monthly leader for triples: 1
Send your selection and username to:

Leonard Cohen - 'Show Me The Place'
A return of his molasses-thick voiceMore on Leonard Cohen
It's been almost eight years since we've heard from ol' Len, but everyone's favourite lachrymose troubadour hasn't missed a step: the first taster from his new album sees him, with that molasses-thick voice, still puzzling over sex, death and the human condition. 'Old Ideas' perhaps, but presented exquisitely.

Can always use a new DAC!
Benchmark DAC2 HGC Digital-to-Analog Converter Sweepstakes
According to the company:
Benchmark has just raised the bar with the new DAC2 HGC, defining a new reference. With over 15 new features, the DAC2 HGC packs more processing power in the same DAC1 series form factor.
The DAC2 HGC is a reference-grade digital to analog converter, stereo system pre-amplifier, and headphone amplifier with infrared remote control. It supports D/A conversion of PCM sample rates up to 192 kHz, as well as direct DSD conversion. Other features include sample rate and word length display, UltraLock2™ jitter attenuation, asynchronous USB Audio 2.0, polarity switch, home theater bypass, bi-directional 12V trigger, additional analog and digital inputs and outputs, digital pass-through, and high-efficiency low-noise power supplies.
The DAC2 HGC builds upon Benchmark's highly successful DAC1 family. Every DAC1 subsystem has been redesigned and upgraded to achieve higher performance. The DAC2 HGC includes an updated version of Benchmark's highly effective UltraLock™ jitter-attenuation system. DSP processing is 32-bits, DSP headroom is 3.5 dB, sample rate is 211 kHz, and jitter-induced distortion and noise is at least 140 dB below the level of the music - well below the threshold of hearing. Benchmark's UltraLock2™ system eliminates all audible jitter artifacts.

If I win this, it will be an step up from my Benchmark DAC1.
They killed SACD so I need a DSD DAC to get my fix.
I´ve been waiting for ages for a full featured DSD DAC and it's finally here. Now, if I can have it for free, it would be the perfect component.
They killed SACD so I need a DSD DAC to get my fix.
Do I ever want one of those! Pick me, pretty please.
Sure, at this point I just want to win one of these contests. But I also would love to have the Benchmark for my AV (tv) system.
I would like to throw my hat into the ring.
I am new to the loudspeaker side of audiophilia. This DAC seems like a great upgrade to my system.
I have a dream that some day someone at a Stereo magazine/webpage will take pity on me and provide me with a basic digital system. A system from the wall plug to the notes coming out of the speakers. Yes a dream but a dream that puts me to sleep every night.
Lets see how the Benchmark competes with my noisy laptop fans!
This would be perfect for my system -- please pick me!
Me too!! thank you :) :)

Sailors, families reunite via TV
TeleConference system allows for happier holidays
When it came time to say goodbye, 3-year-old Sierra Perez threw her arms around the television at the front of the room.
"Daddy, I love you!" she yelled, perhaps trying to make sure he heard her in Bahrain.
It was one of the few glimpses she'd had of her father, Damage Controlman Robert Perez, since he left Naval Station Ingleside six months ago, and so much had changed.
"They've gotten a lot taller," his wife, Julie Perez, said of Sierra and her twin sister Savanna. "Their hair's grown out - except for Savanna cut her own bangs.
"They're talking a lot more. I think he really misses that. He has pictures of everybody before he left, but everybody's changed a little bit."
On Friday, Robert Perez received a jabbering, clamoring update in full color from his wife and four children on a 32-inch screen on the other side of the world. He and nine other Ingleside sailors aboard the USS Dextrous made use of the station's Video TeleConference system. The system generally is used for training, but in a Christmas exception, 27 wives, sons, daughters, sisters, nieces and nephews piled in front of the Ingleside end and were able to see and be seen by their sailors.
"He wanted me to stand up so he could see my belly," said Julie Perez, seven months pregnant. "It was just good to see him - see him and talk to him at the same time."
It also was a little bittersweet. Seven-year-old Aylana Devine told her father, Engineman Shane Devine, about her good grades and Christmas wishes with a big smile on her face, but a few minutes after saying goodbye, she began to cry. Still, she said, it was worth a few tears.
"It was fun to see him a lot," she said. "I don't get to see him a lot. I want to go back in there and see him some more."
Aylana won't have to wait much longer. The Ingleside sailors are expected home on Jan. 12.

Have you missed Madonna? Then you won't have to wait much longer to see her on tour again. The Queen of Pop has announced a new tour in support of her latest album, Rebel Heart, which will be released in North America on Tuesday, March 10. A globe-spanning schedule has been mapped out, including plenty of dates in the United States. In addition to those concerts, Madonna will tour Canada, as well as Germany, Italy, Spain, the U.K. and many other European countries. Tickets will begin to go on sale next Monday, March 9.
Madonna's last tour, the MDNA Tour in 2012, was the 12th biggest concert tour of that year here at TicketNetwork.com*. It was also the third largest pop tour of 2012 on our site, beat out only by One Direction, Justin Bieber, and Big Time Rush. That's clearly a testament to the staying power Madonna has enjoyed throughout the years. Judging by the number one dance chart position of Rebel Heart's lead single, "Living for Love," fans are ready for more Madonna. Soon they'll get their opportunity to see her perform live!
Visit the Madonna page to find tickets to see Madonna in concert.

A blizzard is forecast to hit the Northeastern area of the United States from late Monday to Wednesday. Lots of snow and high winds will make driving very difficult at times on those days. With that in mind, some bands and teams have begun postponing their events.
This list below lists events that have been postponed or cancelled. Keep in mind that the list is by no means an exhaustive list. If you are planning to attend any kind of event in the Northeast on late Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, please check the website for the event, other outreach sources like Twitter and Facebook, and local media for additional news.
On Broadway, Aladdin and The Lion King are CANCELLED for Tuesday, according to the Broadway league's website. You can see other theater updates below.

Most people agree with the term "two are better than one," which may be why Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean decided to team up for a stadium tour this summer. That said, this won't be your typical joint tour, such as Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake's "Legends of the Summer Tour," which was a tour devoted to the two of them. Instead, Chesney and Aldean will be on their own tours, but will be performing twelve of their shows together. Aldean will be on Leg 2 of his "Burn It Down Tour," which will most likely feature songs from his recently released album, "Old Boots, New Dirt," while Chesney will be on his "The Big Revival Tour," which will be in support of his latest album, "The Big Revival."

Turkish Yields Fall to Record on Speculation of Further Cuts
Feb. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Turkey's benchmark bond yields fell to their record low on speculation the central bank may reduce interest rates further to slow capital inflows. The lira weakened.
Two-year yields retreated for a third day after the central bank cut overnight borrowing and lending rates yesterday. The bank had also reduced overnight rates last month, saying "the recent credit growth has been faster than envisaged, amid accelerating capital inflows."
"We got the impression that the central bank expects the continuation of the financial inflows and will continue to cut the overnight borrowing rate," Ibrahim Aksoy, an economist at Seker Securities in Istanbul, said in an e-mailed note, citing a meeting of bank officials today in Ankara with economists.
The yield on two-year benchmark lira notes slid two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 5.64 percent at the 5 p.m. close in Istanbul, the lowest since at least 2005.
One-year interest-rate swaps, an indicator of investor expectations for rates over the period, slipped five basis points to 6.13 percent.
The lira weakened 0.2 percent against the dollar at 1.7804, its third day of depreciation, paring the gain this year to 0.2 percent.
The central bank trimmed the overnight rates by 25 basis points to 4.5 percent and 8.5 percent, respectively, after slashing them by the same amount in January.
