"Breaking Bad" is returning for a 4th season on AMC, Variety is reporting. The critically acclaimed show which chronicles the wacky misadventures of a cancer-ridden, meth dealing high school teacher, is one of the most expensive shows on basic cable. The $3 Million per-episode cost threatened to derail a fourth season, but a compromise was reached in which AMC agreed to chip in if the show goes over budget.Four years with terminal lung cancer? Either it's a very slow moving case, or my grandpa was a total pussy.
We've seen the teaser and the first trailer for HBO's "Boardwalk Empire," and now there's a new trailer that is by far the most gangsta. The show, created by "The Soprano's" writer Terence Winter and exec produced by Martin Scorsese, who also directed the pilot, looks like "The Soprano's" but with fedoras, speakeasies, and hot lather barbershop shaves. Steve Buscemi is the new Tony Soprano, so we're trading in a weight problem for a dental one, but he appears just as menacing and short-tempered as the wheezing Mafia boss. He plays "the undisputed ruler of Atlantic City and town Treasurer, Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, who is described as "a political fixer and backroom dealer who is equal parts politician and gangster and equally comfortable in either role." Get ready for "Boardwalk Empire" to come at you like gangbusters this fall on HBO. And for God's sake, hide your barrels of bathtub gin. I recommend the bathtub. Check out the new trailer after the jump.

Just the other day, that weird Mortal Kombat thing arrived online. It sparked immediate debate whether it was for the upcoming video game or the film. We know now that the gritty video was shot by director Kevin Tanchareon as a pitch to get himself hired for the upcoming job. Michael Jai White was one of many actors working for free to appear as Jax. He tells Asylum that the vibe on set was "one of camaraderie." He's got a lot of ideas about what he can bring to the role of Jax:"Our natural take on it is to make it gritty and dark. Jax is still a hell of a fighter. He's still a super-badass, but he's just restrained by the letter of the law. We played with some ideas of building that up between him and Scorpion. There would be some great fights with Jax. There's so much I haven't had the chance to do. I've probably shown one-eighth of my martial arts ability on screen. With Jax having his metal arms, I'd use a lot of Wing Chun because it relies heavily on the arms."I really don't feel we need a "serious" take on Mortal Kombat. While Dark Knight was a meditation on the weight vengeance bears on the soul, Mortal Kombat: Rebirth is likely to be a meditation on punching someone's skull through their rectum.
With his greatest foe vanquished, Kevin Costner is now stepping up to the plate to save the Earth's oceans. Though they refused aid from James Cameron, BP has reportedly purchased a technology from the Waterworld star that will help clean up the tremendous spill in the Gulf.Since 1993, Costner has spent $20 million on the patent and development of a machine that seperates oil from water via a centrifuge. BP purchased 32 of the machines that will be able to clean 6 million gallons of water a day. Costner had a tough time selling the invention at first, drawing no interest from the Coast Guard or private companies. It wasn't until he helped rehabilitate the hot tub used in the taping of "Jersey Shore" that Congress took notice. (Houston Chronicle via Film Drunk)
An Apology from HBO Marketing – TrueBlood-Online.com – Watch more Funny VideosI'm still waiting for an apology for that drawn-out Maryann plotline from last season."True Blood" season three premieres THIS SUNDAY at 9pm.
The Karate Kid PG, 140min., 2010 Cast: Jaden Smith, Taraji P. Henson, Rongguang Yu, and Jackie Chan Directed by Harald Zwart Screenplay by Christopher Murphy based upon the 1980s movie of the same name. The Karate Kid is as epic as a kid's movie can come, yet falls into the same pitfalls of most prequels/sequels/remakes. As the overlong prologue begins, we meet 12-year-old Dre Parker of Detroit (Jaden Smith, a rail thin swagger type like his parents, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith) who with his Mom (the great and underused actress Taraji P. Henson) move to Beijing, China. Once they arrive, Dre makes new enemies with a bullying martial arts gang, gets beaten to a pulp on the school's playground, meets his first girlfriend, and learns the art of Kung-Fu by way of the local hermit Mr. Han (Jackie Chan in surprisingly great dramatic role).More after the jump…
In news that doesn't really come as a surprise, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will be pressed against the kitchen counter and split into two parts like those popsicles that are double-popsicles (you know the ones). This move has been speculated for some time but was officially announced by Summit today, now that the contract negotiations have finalized.Bill Condon will direct the final chapters of the series back-to-back with the first seeing release in November 2011 and the second installment premiering some time in 2012. This decision is obviously cash-fueled and so typical of Hollywood. It shows a blatant disrespect to Edward and Bella and Werewolf Guy and red-haired vampire. Shameful. **logs on to eTrade and buys shares in Summit**CHECK OUT SUMMIT'S PRESS RELEASE AFTER THE JUMP…
Nick Nolte may take time away from his passion (rooting around through pizzeria garbage cans) to fulfill his other passion (being an actor in Hollywood movies). It's reported that both Nolte and Jennifer Garner are in negotiations to appear in the Arthur remake.Russell Brand will star as the titular drunk with Helen Mirren as his nanny and Greta Gerwig as the love interest who causes him to choose between marrying for love or money. Just like on those reality shows. If talks are successful, Garner will play the heiress that Brand is forced to marry and Nolte will play her religious father. Should negotiations fall flat, hopefully Nolte will stick around as a consultant to Brand. If you're playing a character who wakes up after a bender in the bucket of an excavator, it'd be handy to have someone on set with that kind of experience. (THR)
The A-Team PG-13, 99m., 2010 Cast: Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Jessica Biel, Brian Bloom, and Patrick Wilson Directed by Joe Carnahan Screenplay Joe Carnahan, Brian…
Oscar winning producer Scott Rudin has set his sights on Angelina Jolie for an upcoming adaptation of Cleopatra: A Life. Like the book by Stacy Schiff, the film promises to be a detailed look at one of antiquity's most famous women.If the project comes together, it will not be Jolie's first foray into the ancient world. In 2004, she starred as the mother of Alexander the Great in Oliver Stone's critical and box-office flop, Alexander. Seeing as how that outing went over like a led zeppelin, why not give Angelina another shot? While we're at it, get Kevin Coster on the phone. I've got a special effects-laden post-apocalyptic love story I'd like him to direct. I hope he can keep it under budget. (First Showing)
Warner Bros is eying director Jonathan Liebesman (Darkness Falls, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) to helm the second installment of their recently rebooted Clash of the Titans franchise. The film will most likely be shot in 3D, and is tentatively scheduled to begin production in early in 2011.I'm not exactly sure why Warner Bros. is putting money behind a sequel. By almost any standard, the first film was awful. But on a side note, the original did make $487 million worldwide. I'm beginning to think the only justification for revisiting the project is that it might make money, and frankly, I'm a little dispointed in Hollywood right now. Shame on you guys for chasing the almighty dollar instead of trying to make art. (First Showing)
On Wednesday, we reported that plans for a Voltron movie had fallen through. But according to producers Richard Suckle and Ted Koplar, we're a bunch of no-good liars. SUCKLE: You never can tell, but I think that if we're lucky going into 2011, and in a perfect world, if we could have a "Voltron" movie sometime in the summer of 2013, that would be what I would consider a very likely timeline. I know at first glance it looks like we screwed up, but let's take a step back and consider the source: Latino Review. It's a fine publication, but I'm not going to consider this news as "solid" until I read it in Afro-Caribbean Weekly or Slavic Quarterly, the gold standards in ethnocentric Voltron news outlets.

"Entertainment Tonight" visited the set of Marvel's Thor and got some facetime with Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman as they flirt up a storm. It's like seriously, dude. You and your c-blocking camera crew should get out of there and give those two some privacy. On second thought, leave the camera. As far as "ET" videos go, this one's kind of hard-hitting. It even shows some restraint (it takes them a full three minutes and nineteen seconds to discuss Chris Hemsworth's workout regimine). In addition; we get a glimpse of Sir Anthony Hopkins as Odin, and Hemsworth fesses up to his "Dancing With The Stars" roots. Really? He was on "Dancing With The Stars?" Suddenly this Kim Kardashian as Tomb Raider rumor doesn't sound so far-fetched.Check it out after the jump…
Comedy Central announced today that they will roast actor/singer/burger spokesman David Hasselhoff this summer. The special will air on August 15th as part of a themed block with showings of "Taking Candy From Babies" and Shooting Fish. In the press release, Hasselhoff affirms his willingness to accept money for tauntings:"I'm honored that Comedy Central is going to get 'Hoff' on me. I have always been a major fan of Roasts, dating back to the days of the 'Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts.' Laughter is the best medicine. Bring it on! I'm ready to take the heat."This is too easy. How can we be certain that this isn't an elaborate ruse engineered solely for the capture of Norm MacDonald? Is OJ behind this?? (CC Insider)
Ralph "The Original Karate Kid" Macchio is 48-years-old and he looks like he's 12, or Scott Baio at 12. Back in 1984, he had girls swooning over his crane kick, and now he's married and no longer a bad-ass. The guy doesn't even have a raunchy sex tape with leather clad hookers or politicians. Wax On, F*ck Off, a new documentary that was all the rage at the Hoboken Film Festival, follows Macchio as he tries to restore his reputation and convince people he's not just another non-burnout pussy. Check out the trailer for this important fictitious film after the jump.
Latest Hollywood fashion trend: The Bruce Willis MaskIt looks like F. Gary Gray might be breaking Bruce Willis and Jamie Foxx out of movie jail for Kane & Lynch. Gray has topped the list of potential directors for the videogame adaptation that sees two death row inmates sprung from the klink to retrieve a stolen microchip. No official offer has been made yet but Gray has quite a bargaining chip, given the unexpected success of Law Abiding Citizen. And I can't think of better casting for this project. Look at these characters from the game:Bruce Willis and Jamie Foxx ARE these characters. Though, we'll need to break Jamie Foxx's nose for this. Line forms to the left. (THR)
It's hard for most American moviegoers to get into reading subtitles, so here are 13 movies that make reading the subtitle cards worth it. This way the masses can enjoy a film from another part of the world and feel superior to their friends. Plus, Gael Garcia Bernal deserves more recognition from people who only speak English. ? ? CITY OF GODImagine Goodfellas in Brazil. The rapid fire editing, music, and action sequences make this almost 2 and half hour movie in the streets of Rio de Janero a sensational piece of cinema. You'll never turn your attention toward the clock while watching it. Portuguese hasn't been this engaging since your housekeeper got in a fight over the phone with her brother.
I've never been a fan of fast zombies. There's just something wrong with the idea of a corpse who can keep pace with a Vespa. Luckily, Frank Darabont subscribes to that school of thought and will present "The Walking Dead" stiffs exactly the way they are billed — walking. In an interview with AMC, Darabont cited Night of the Living Dead's zombie zero as the mold."For our zombie show I'm calling that the Book of Genesis, and whenever there's a question about zombie behavior, I go back to 'Night of the Living Dead.' Here's my favorite thing: the endless debate among the fans about how fast a zombie can move. There are the folks who just can't stand seeing zombies running. I'm kind of in that camp, but if you look at the very first zombie in 'Night' – the one in the cemetery chasing Barbara, he gets up to a pretty good jog. I'm keying our zombie behavior off of that film: Whether they're in a very languid state or they're on the attack, they'll move no faster than that first zombie in 'Night of the Living Dead.'"Okay. I can live with zombies getting up to a light jog, but nothing more than that. Something around a 3 or a 4 on the "Rushing to the Bathroom Scale," is permissable. But by no means should they get up to a cotton-touching number like 7 or 8. (via Dread Central)
Paramount Pictures is taking its UNTITLED Les Grossman Project way too far. A press release announcing the film treated Grossman as if he was a real "mega-producer" rather than a somewhat-humorous fictional character. While I wasn't a big fan, the release does allow me to use block quotes, and I'm a big fan of that! Paramount Pictures and MTV Films announced today that they are set to develop a movie around mega-producer Les Grossman. The announcement comes on the heels of Grossman's groundbreaking and visionary production of the soon-to-be Emmy® award-winning 2010 MTV Movie Awards Sunday night. Tom Cruise, along with Ben Stiller and Stuart Cornfeld of Red Hour Films will produce and have secured the life rights to Grossman. See what I mean? Block quotes rule. The release goes on to say that Grossman played himself in Tropic Thunder, even though we all know it was Tom Cruise. It also claims that Tom Crusie will be portraying the real Grossman in the new movie, even though there is no real Grossman to portray! I need a map to keep up with all the ins and outs. I haven't been this god damn confused since Garth Brooks was dating the awful rocker, Chris Gaines.
Both Tim Burton and John August are in negotiations to work on the film adaptation of Monsterpocalypse. The film is based on a strategy board game created by Matt Wilson in which Japanese movie monsters do battle.If the negotiations are successful, this would mark the fourth time the director/screenwriting team has collaborated. Previously, the pair worked together on Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Corpse Bride.I haven't been this excited for a repeat collaboration since I heard that Bruce Willis was re-teaming with Matthew Perry on The Whole 10 Yards. Maybe it was the brain tumor talking, but that movie was funny as hell! Don't worry. I'm in remission.Hey, did I ever tell you about the time I was diagnosed with a brain tumor? It was right about the time The Whole 10 Yards came out. Great movie.What, they're making a movie adaptation of Monsterpocalypse! Awesome! (Dread Central)
Tony Gilroy, the screenwriter for the original Bourne trilogy, has signed on to write the treatment for The Bourne Legacy, the planned fourth installment of the franchise. Gilroy joins Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley, who have returned to produce.Despite the positive momentum, not all of the original pieces are in place. Actor Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass have yet to sign on to the project, and Damon has stated that he will only participate if Greengrass directs. Then again, people say a lot of things. My old girlfriend said we'd be together forever, but as soon as she got the starring role in Precious, she dropped me like an empty Taco Bell wrapper. Be careful, Greengrass. It could happen to you!

I apologize for all the penis-shaped objects this week.In order to make up for the lack of box office success of American movies with Japanese audiences, Paramount is planning a Japanese remake of Ghost. Why Ghost when they could remake something other than Ghost? Because of the pottery wheel scene, dummy! It's sexy, and dirty, and raw, and scored with Righteous Brothers music. The Japanese go apesh*t for that combo.The new version of Ghost will star Nanako Matsushima in the Demi Moore role and Song Seung Heon as the ghost of Patrick Swayze. Well not the ghost of Patrick Swayze, but the ghost of his character Sam in the movie. India's already remade the film twice (because once wasn't enough?), so who's to say it won't have the same kind of success in Japan. Wet clay is universal. That's why my apartment is full of my own head casts. Company doesn't find them at all disturbing. (/Film)
Paul Rudd has assembled his past movie girlfriends and a few indie darlings to form a Voltron of hotitude.. hoticity… umm… attractiveness. Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer, and Rashida Jones have all joined his upcoming Jesse Peretz project My Idiot Brother.In the film, Banks, Deschanel, and Mortimer will play Rudd's put-upon sisters whom he totally You, Me, and Duprees. Mortimer is a Park Slope mom with a failing marriage, Banks is a career girl, and Deschanel is a flaky bisexual who can't commit to girlfriend Rashida Jones. Hopefully Paul Rudd can help those mixed up lovebirds see the error of their ways and they live happily ever after in boob-touching bliss. Expect that news to swell a lot of pants at ironic yacht parties this weekend. (THR)
This show will have more hair jokes than "Glee." After the season finale of "Breaking Bad" this Sunday, stay tuned for a preview of AMC's new drama "Rubicon" starring James Badge Dale, the guy who looks like the teacher from "Glee." The conspiracy thriller is about "an analyst at a New York City think-tank who is thrown into a story where nothing is as it appears to be." I realize that tells you absolutely nothing, but the fun of the series is the **wiggles fingers** myyyyyystery. I read the script for the pilot and liked it quite a bit. You have to pay close attention as the main character uses his knowledge of crossword puzzles to uncover a mass conspiracy, but the hook of the four-leaf clover grabs you from the start. I hope they don't go the "LOST" route and choose an obvious ending. I'll be so pissed if a clan of leprechauns is behind the whole thing. "Rubicon" premieres August 1st at 8/7c with a sneak preview this Sunday. Check out the trailer and poster after the jump…
Network: AMCCast: James Badge DaleSynopsis: An analyst at a New York City think-tank who is thrown into a story where nothing is as it appears to be.
Yes, they made it, okay? They made a porn parody of "The Golden Girls," that show about four old women, three of which have passed, and the other who the Internet won't leave alone. You all walk around with your heads held high like you're sooooooo superior and don't have a GILF fetish. Now if it were called "Golden Shower Girls" I'd understand why you wouldn't want to watch. Except for the sickos, of course. Not that there's anything wrong with watching old women get peed on. No, I take that back. This may bite me in the ass when I run for political office, but I stand by the belief that it IS wrong to watch old women get peed on. Unless they're dead. Roll the footage!
I've already written about pornstars and Muppets this morning. What else is left to cover but giant space robots!After years of rumors and indecision, plans for a Voltron movie have been scrapped. However, fans need not worry, as they'll soon be able to get their nostalgia fix on the small screen. A reboot of the popular 80's cartoon is underway. The new series will air on Nicktoons, and will be rolled out alongside a brand new toy line.As cool as these new toys sound, times are tough. If you find that money is too tight, construct a homemade "Voltron" robot using wire hangers, your cat, and a soldering iron. But make sure your cat is either asleep or dead before you start the soldering, or it's going to get really pissed off. I recommend using Benadryl and a brick, respectively. (Cinema Blend)

Editors' Review+
by: Seth Rosenblatt on February 03, 2011
The bottom line: Google Chrome 9 is not only stable to use, but comes with a full range of competitive features. It lacks some of the fine-tuning customizations in Firefox, but overall, users browsing with Chrome will find it a pleasant, fast, and standards-compliant experience.
Google Chrome has begun to mature from a lightweight and fast browsing alternative into an innovative browser on the precipice of a potential browsing revolution with the pending Chrome OS. The browser that people can use today, Chrome 9, offers highly competitive features including synchronization, autofill, and standards compliance, and maintains Google's reputation for building one of the fastest browsers available.
Chrome 9 represents a major milestone point for the browser, but those who are familiar with seeing dramatic changes in major-point updates will be disappointed. New features include the inclusion of support for WebGL, the cutting-edge hardware accelerated 3D graphics support; allowing Google Instant to work in the location/search bar via a settings toggle; and support for the Chrome OS-centric Chrome Web Store for Chrome apps.
Please note that there are at least four versions of Chrome available at the moment, and this review only addresses the "stable" branch, intended for general use. Chrome beta, dev, and Canary are respectively progressively less stable versions of the browser, and aimed at developers.
Chrome's installation process is simple and straightforward. If you download from Google's Web site, it will ask you if you'd like to anonymously submit usage statistics to the company. This can be toggled even after the browser's installed by going to the "Wrench" preferences menu, choosing Options, then Under the Hood, and unchecking Help Make Chrome Better. Depending on your processor, the installation process should take less than 2 minutes.
Google's Chrome interface has changed remarkably little since its surprise debut in September 2008. Tabs are still on top, the location bar--which Google likes to call the "Omnibar"--dominates the minimalist design, and the browser has few visible control buttons besides Back, Forward, and a combined Stop/Reload button. Although some may not like the tabs on top, we find it to be aesthetically preferable because it leaves more room below for the Web site we're looking at.
One change has been to remove the secondary Page options button, and combine it with the preferences Wrench to create space for extension icons to the right of the location bar. As it currently looks, it could be better organized. Some controls, such as page zoom, are readily available. Others, such as the extension manager, are hidden away under a Tools submenu.
Chrome's extensions are fairly limited in how they can alter the browser's interface. Unlike Firefox, which gives add-on makers a lot of leeway to change the browser's look, Chrome mandates that extensions appear only as icons to the right of the location bar. The benefit maintains a uniform look in the browser, but it definitely limits how much the browser can be customized. Chrome doesn't support sidebars, either, although other Chromium-based browsers (such as Flock 3) do offer the feature.
Even with its limitations, the interface design has remained a contemporary exemplar of how to minimize the browser's screen footprint while remaining easy to use and versatile.
Features and support
Chrome 9's features are accessible from the Preferences menu, and the browser offers a complete range of modern browsing conveniences. The basics are well-represented, including tabbed browsing, new window creation, and a private browsing mode that Google calls "Incognito," which disables cookies tracking, history recording, extension support, and other browsing breadcrumbs.
Chrome is based on WebKit, the same open-source engine that powers Apple Safari, Google's Android mobile platform, and several other desktop and mobile Web-browsing tools. Chrome runs on a different JavaScript engine than its WebKit cousins, and there are other changes, as well.
Chrome's tabs remain one of the best things about the browser. The tabs are detachable: "tabs" and "windows" are interchangeable here. Detached tabs can be dragged and dropped into the browser, and tabs can be rearranged at any time by clicking, holding, dragging, and releasing. Not only can tabs be isolated, but each tab actually exists in its own task process. This means that when one site crashes, the other tabs do not. Though memory leaks are a major concern in Chrome when you have dozens of tabs open, sluggish behavior and other impediments weren't noticeable until after there were more than 30 tabs open. That's not an immutable number, though, and a computer's hardware will alter browser performance.
Some of the basics in Chrome are handled extremely intuitively. In-page searching works smoothly. Using the Ctrl-F hot key or the menu option, searching for a word or phrase will open a text entry box on the top right of the browser. It searches as you type, indicating the number of positives results and highlighting them on the page.
Account syncing is another area where Chrome excels. Using your Gmail account, Chrome will sync your themes, preferences, autofill entries, extensions, and bookmarks. You can toggle each of those categories, too. It does not yet offer password syncing, although the password manager offers a smart show password option that keeps it visually separate from the site that it's associated to.
Like Firefox, Chrome gives broad control over search engines and setting search customizations. Though this doesn't sound like much, not all browsers allow you to set keyword shortcuts for searching, and some even restrict which search engine you can set as your default. Chrome comes with three defaults to choose from: Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
The Chrome extension manager, bookmark manager, and download manager all open in new tabs. They allow you to search their contents and throw in some basic management options like deletion, but in general none feels as robust as their counterparts in competing browsers. For example, URLs in the bookmark manager are only revealed when you mouse over a bookmark, and you must click on one to get the URL to permanently appear. That's an extra click that other browsers don't require.
Two other low-profile but well-executed features in Chrome include auto-updating and translation. Chrome automatically updates when a new version comes out. This makes it harder to revert back to an older version, but it's highly unlikely that you'll want to downgrade this build of Chrome since this is the stable build and not the beta or developer's version. The second feature, automatic translation of Web pages, is available to other browsers as a Google add-on, but because it comes from Google, it's baked directly into Chrome.
Chrome is also a leader in HTML5 implementation, which is uneven because of the continuing development of HTML5 standards. This will become more important in the coming months and years, but for right now it doesn't massively affect interaction with Web sites.
Where Chrome 5 was the first version of the browser that felt fully baked, Chrome 6 began to add serious features to that foundation while improving usability. Chrome versions 7, 8, and 9 have felt more like minor-point updates. Still, it's a ready-to-go browser that offers top-of-the-line speed, a clean, minimalist look, and competitive features that justify its still-increasing market share. Chrome is a serious option for anybody who wants a browser that gets out of the way of browsing the Web.

That's a far less dignified response than T.J. Brida's, the Philadelphia gamer who went 13 1/3 perfect innings yet, unable to score himself, gave up a hit in the 14th inning to end the bid last Thursday. He stood up, calmly tapped the power button to his Xbox 360, then got dressed for work.
Here's EROCKhd's shattered controller (pictured above), after he missed his chance at perfection. SkinsGoForGold says the CPU violated an unwritten rule of baseball: Bunting for a hit with a no-hitter in progress. He lost his perfecto on the first batter of the ninth inning.
Hard-luck loser KodieB3 says he was on the final batter, a pinch hitter, when "dog comes running to the door needing outside to potty. + phone call. Had to pause it." Needless to say, that was hashtagged "#pissed."
IsmsAllDay says he lost a fashion similar to Brida's fate, taking the Giants' Tim Lincecum through 13 perfect innings and even getting the lead in the top of the 14th before losing. "By then he was so gassed," he tweeted.
OscarMaylaHoya, probably fresh off Jeff Samardzija's near-complete game this weekend, foolishly tried to take the converted Cubs reliever even further. "Perfect through 10 innings with Jeff Samardzija," he tweeted. "I just couldn't get a run on the board."
All of these contestants are in a monthlong playoff in which they are trying, not only to throw a perfect game in MLB 2K12 they're trying to throw a better perfect game than anyone else. That means striking out more batters on fewer pitches using a weaker pitcher against stronger opposition, ideally. The eight best on the leaderboard at the end of April make the cut.
2K Sports says the average perfect game "score" is 611 as of Friday, with Roy Halladay of the Phillies by far the most-used pitcher. Lincecum is second with 26 confirmed perfectos, and Clayton Kershaw third with 21. Cover star Justin Verlander has been the pitcher in 10 user-thrown perfect games, good for a tie for fifth. The most common victims are the Pirates, Diamondbacks and Padres.

Following last night's 3 - 2 loss at Pittsburgh, many were pondering whether this group had the offensive spark that was sorely missed last season.
Five goals later, it appears that offensive struggles may be a thing of the past.
"We scored some important goals," said Head Coach John Tortorella. "It's a work in progress, we have a lot of work to do, but I'm happy the way they stayed with it and found a way to win the hockey game."
The game had a physical edge at the onset as both teams played hard along the boards. The Rangers maintained their composure, not commiting a penalty throughout the period. Ottawa, however, were called for three penalties, including a hooking call on former Ranger Alex Kovalev.
The power play had better puck movement and more shots to the net. Both Vinny Prospal and Chris Higgins had power play opportunities that resulted in near-misses and hit posts.
"I thought our power play was very good tonight, from the break out right on through," said Tortorella. "But again you have to score goals."
The Rangers went 0-for-5 on the game.
Following a scoreless first period, Vinny Prospal scored his first goal as a Ranger at 3:20 on a 2-on1 break, roofing a wrist shot into the far corner.
"The defenseman gave me the shot, so I took it and hoped it went in," said Prospal jokingly. "I was very pleasantly surprised when it went in the net."
Prospal played along the left side of the top line with Brandon Dubinsky and Marian Gaborik, who also factored in the scoring. Dubinsky scored two goals and added an assist while Gaborik added a goal and assist of his own.
"I think we are moving the puck and moving ourselves, and without the holding and grabbing, it's tougher to stop in the offensive zone if you are quicker than the defensive guys" said Prospal.
"We have opportunities and we have to continue and capitalize on our chances," said Dubinsky. "The offense and the attack that we have, we're going to score more goals."
Dubinsky, who leads the team with four points through the first two
games, has shown more fire on the ice, something that hasn't gone
unnoticed. Tortorella felt that the trio wasn't just the top scoring line, but
also one of the hardest working. A major part of that has been the
energy and ethic of Dubinsky.
"I think [Dubinsky] wants to prove that he's worth what he did, and that's not a bad thing," said Tortorella. "He has a different look about him, even when he isn't playing, how he's handling himself...He's playing well"
Gaborik is also playing up to a major offseason contract. The new right winger has three points in two games and has felt very comfortable in his new surroundings.
"We seem to understand each other well out there," said Gaborik. "Dubi is strong on the puck and as he's carrying the puck through the neutral zone, I am trying to get open. We're good down low behind their goal line."
The line accounted for four of the Rangers five goals.
Lost in the offensive shuffle was the play of goalie Henrik Lundqvist. After a solid first game last night, Lundqvist turned aside 32 shots, including 19 in an Ottawa-heavy second period.
The oddman rushes however, continue to be a problem and while Lundqvist was able to turn most aside tonight, it is something that Tortorella recognizes must change.
"We need to button up some things along the way here," said Tortorella. "We're giving up too many chances against, but those are correctable things."
The Rangers are in New Jersey Monday night to take on the Devils in their first Atlantic Division game of the season.

LOWVILLE A New York State Association of Counties representative painted a fairly positive picture of the state budget to an 11-county Adirondack legislative group Thursday.
We didnt do too bad this year, considering again the state was in a deficit situation, said David Lucas, NYSACs director of finance and intergovernmental relations, at an Inter-County Legislative Committee of the Adirondacks meeting at Tug Hill Vineyards.
Medicaid payments from the counties are to drop by about 1 percent, which should provide a little relief, even though it may not seem like much, Mr. Lucas said.
When were sending $7� billion to Albany, 1 percent adds up over the course of the year, he said.
The state budget also included an increase in Consolidated Highway Improvement Program funding, Mr. Lucas said.
However, some mandate relief proposals from NYSAC, including giving counties the latitude to raise the local portion of sales tax rates to 4 percent without state approval, were not adopted, he said.
Mr. Lucas said his group will continue to push that agenda and is once again asking its member counties to participate in the Mayday for Mandate Relief initiative by holding a promotional event in May to raise awareness of the need for state mandate relief.
The message is resonating with the Legislature, he said. They understand the pressure that is on the counties.
Outgoing Lewis County Manager David H. Pendergast asked about the status of legislation that would require counties to set up sites for early voting.
Its not doing anything right now, Mr. Lucas said, noting state government ethics is dominating talks in Albany.
If the early voting issue ever gains traction, NYSAC officials will try to make sure the state provides funding to cover additional costs to the counties, he said.
Lewis County Board of Legislators Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan, his countys representative on the regional committee, also asked if there was any chance of further legislative changes to the New York Safety and Firearms Enforcement Act.
Only what they did in the budget, Mr. Lucas said, noting several minor changes were made. They dont want to go back into that law.
About 35 people attended the session, including six of the 10 Lewis County legislators.
Prior to the luncheon meeting, the group consisting of legislative representatives from the counties with Adirondack Park acreage visited the 195-turbine Maple Ridge Wind Farm. Legislator William J. Burke, R-West Lowville, a participating landowner and part-time employee of the wind farm, served as tour guide.

NEWPORT – An Orleans County judge has ordered Nelson Farms to stop polluting nearby waterways with runoff. Judge Howard VanBenthuysen issued a preliminary injunction November 6 against Nelson Farms. The State of Vermont Agency of Agriculture and the Agency of Natural Resources took Nelson Farms to court over the problem. According to the Attorney General's (AG) office, two of the Nelsons' farms, Clydeside Farm in Derby Center and Crystal Brook Farm in Derby Line are discharging waste into the Clyde River and Crystal Brook. Clydeside has 450 dairy cows and 200 heifers and Crystal Brook Farm houses approximately 575 dairy cows.
"The State's agricultural water quality laws and programs are designed to assist farmers to help keep our waterways clean," said Attorney General William Sorrell, adding that when voluntary compliance efforts fail the state will step in and take enforcement action.

We've all seen those celebrities who've been household names for decades, who appear to be comfortable in their non- size-zero bodies. Then, lo and behold, one day, they appear with new sleek, svelte figures.
How do they do it? Simple: a bit of prosthetic surgery and hey presto, goodbye spare tyre! I am of course, talking about gastric banding which has been in use since the mid 1980s.
A gastric band helps reduce the amount of food you eat. It simply acts like a belt around the top portion of your stomach, creating a small pouch. It restricts the amount of food that can fit into your stomach, meaning that you feel full after eating a small amount of food, resulting in weight loss.
According to The British Obesity Surgery Patient Association, on average, people lose between 50–65% of their excess weight in the two years after placement of a gastric band. Long before they reach that stage, they start to feel the benefits, especially if they also have any of the obesity–related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease or high blood pressure. They also have a much greater capacity for physical activity and more self–confidence; not like this gentleman in the public health poster below!
Having a gastric band is regarded as major surgery as patients undergo a general anesthetic. This presents some very real risks, side-effects and complications. Each operation costs the NHS around £8,000, but only those who fit specific criteria qualify to receive the surgery.
Is gastric banding an easy way to lose weight without having to diet or exercise as much?
Would knowing someone who has had a gastric band change your perception/opinion of them?
Is obesity a problem that humans inflict on themselves?
Should the NHS (and taxpayers) pay for gastric band surgery for very obese patients? What about if someone just wants to lose a few pounds?
The gastric band is in the Who am I? gallery on the 1st floor of the Wellcome Wing.

Wally Backman will manage Triple-A Las Vegas in 2013
Sandy Alderson said Wally Backman will manage Triple-A Las Vegas in 2013, according to the team's beat reporters on Twitter.
Backman managed Triple-A Buffalo to a 67-76 record and a last place finish in the International League's North Division in 2012.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
I'm glad to see Wally returning, because I like him being in the family. He did a great job in Buffalo this summer, especially in helping get players ready for Citi Field. The Mets were pleased, but he was clearly never in their plans for Terry's bench. That said, I wonder what Wally's thinking, since he obviously wants to be back in the big chair… and there were certainly a handful of job openings this winter… just not with the Mets.
The buzz around Wally had indicated he didn't want to end up in Vegas. At the same time, as I've said before, it's bad form in baseball circles to turn down an upper-level managerial position (assuming it's the best offer available), so I'm glad he accepted another chance to manage in Triple-A.
He has a hugely important role next season, because the team's best young pitching will most likely be with him in a very hitter friendly environment. The way he manages those kids, gets them ready and deals with possible set backs in increased stats and development, will factor in to how future big-league rosters pan out. For instance, Wheeler could get rocked, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's any less ready to pitch in Queens. At the same time, Wilmer Flores may see his power numbers double, but it doesn't mean he's any more equipped to play on a big-league infield. Also, Wally will be responsible for managing and getting ready talent that will be expected to possibly fly across the country on a whim to help the major-league team. It was already going to be an interesting year in Vegas, but with Wally it should be ever more interesting…

|Liberty Crack 7/7/07. Shirley & I climbed it in perfect weather. Nobody else (2 guys attempting but bailing from E. Face of Minuteman below) all day. Car to car with about ~11+ hrs. on route itself (yes, mostly dragging ass). Icy snow slope w/o ax or crampons was painful in the morning. Aid was mostly straightforward (though a KB on P1 is near popping). Found some of the free climbing (esp. up high) hard (& not too aesthetic IMHO) esp. compared to other comarably rated pitches we did in WA Pass (probably tad off route & as always, I SUCK). Eaten alive on the hike down by mosquitos!! Friday night departure from PDX & early Sunday morning return - not a bad way of spending a long Saturday.
Beckey Route September 21, 2002. Perfect weather. Crowded. Both my wife and I thought that the 2nd pitch chimney was the most interesting part of the climb (not pitch 3). The exposure on pitch 3 seemed to be exaggerated in the descriptions I read before starting out. Actually did not even notice the finger traverse (then again, I'm 6'7"). Actually, the exposure on the whole climb was pretty much limited to seeing the large belay platform below you - i.e. almost nowhere did one get to see 'all the way down'. Did single rope rappels on the way down to avoid getting ropes stuck. Early Winter Spires look like very cool climbs - something on the to do list.

|Beckey Route - 2X - 7/03 and 7/04. Fun easy route with a good combination of climbing styles.
Northwest Face (attempt) - 8/27/05 - Inspired by the "135 foot sustained 5.9 dihedral" mentioned in Selected Climbs, I tried this route Saturday. First pitch sucked, a low angle groove on uninspiring rock. The second pitch had a short fun 5.7 section with good exposure down the north face, then 4th class oatmeal and garbage rock. I got off route on the third pitch launching up a steep sustained 5.10B thin crack, placing a lot of gear. I tried to crank through a 25 foot runout on a sustained 5.10B flared groove, but whipped. Got lowered off a hex cursing the Beckey Topo, 5.8 my ass. Bailed. Checked out Selected Climbs topo later and determined the correct crack is 30 feet to the right of the one I tried. Oh well, it was a fun adventure.

New features in this release
New user agent string
The BlackBerry® Browser for the BlackBerry® Tablet OS has an updated user agent string to enable developers to differentiate between BlackBerry tablets and BlackBerry smartphones.
The user agent string for BlackBerry Browser on BlackBerry tablets is:
Mozilla/5.0 (<BlackBerry_tablet>; U: <OS_version>; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.8+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/0.0.1 Safari/534.8+
Web Inspector
Developers can access Web Inspector functionality using a BlackBerry smartphone or BlackBerry tablet, or using a BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator or BlackBerry Tablet Simulator.
The BlackBerry Browser uses a client-server architecture to make Web Inspector functionality available to developers. The BlackBerry Browser acts as a web server. It serves the page over HTTP over a Wi-Fi® connection; developers inspect the content remotely on a desktop browser. Developers can use any WebKit-based desktop browser on the same Wi-Fi network to navigate to the IP address and port number used by the BlackBerry Browser and begin inspecting the code.
By default, Web Inspector is disabled in the browser. To use the Web Inspector, it must be in the BlackBerry Browser options. Once Web Inspector is enabled, the browser provides the IP address and port number it will use to serve the content.
Adobe Flash Player 10.1 and ActionScript 3.0
The BlackBerry® Browser on the BlackBerry® Tablet OS includes the Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1 application runtime and support forAdobe® ActionScript® 3.0, making Flash based web content accessible to BlackBerry tablet users.
Adobe Flash Player 10.1 was developed to provide the improvements in performance and the reduction in processor usage that were necessary to bring Flash content and applications to mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. APIs have been added to ActionScript 3.0 to allow Flash applications to access some of the functionality that is unique to mobile devices, such as access to accelerometer and geolocation information and support for touch events and gesture events.
The BlackBerry Browser is capable of rendering most existing Flash content with little or no additional development effort. However, Flash to take advantage of some of the unique UI and hardware features of BlackBerry tablets, developers can create feature-rich Flash applications specifically for BlackBerry tablet users.
Access to native events
The BlackBerry® Browser now supports two new meta tags:
In the past, access to certain user events was not possible from within web content because of a number of usability-related features implemented by the browser. The introduction or the cursor-event-mode and touch-event-mode meta tags allows developers to disable these UI features for a web page, so that browser passes the entire array of events to the web page.
By default, the BlackBerry Browser captures and processes most trackpad clicks or touch events at the UI level to allow for improved usability on small screens. For example, on BlackBerry devices with a trackpad, when the user clicks the track pad on an area of the content that is not a link, the browser zooms into that content block. On devices with a touch screen, users can swipe to scroll, double tap to zoom in to a content block, or touch and hold to display the context menu. In addition, on touch screen devices, most touch events are converted by the browser directly into mouse events; this behavior allows the browser to replicate the way desktop browsers manage user interaction with forms and links, but prevents web content from accessing touch events and gestures as input.
By defining event-handling behavior with the cursor-event-mode and touch-event-mode meta tags, web developers have access to the same interaction model available to Java® developers in the BlackBerry® Java® SDK. For example, web developers can track both the direction and distance of a swipe event, and respond differently based on the swipe direction or distance. Access to these events gives web developers the opportunity to create more dynamic and robust games and applications for the BlackBerry Browser.
Web Sockets API
The BlackBerry® Browser now includes support for the Web Sockets API, which is designed to permit near real-time communication with web server. A web socket is a bi-directional communication channel between a web server and a browser that allows messages to be sent back and forth without requiring an HTTP request and response each time.
The Web Socket API is designed to hide much of the complexity of socket communication. A socket is opened when a WebSocket object is constructed. Once the socket connection is established, the browser and server can send data back and forth. Once the socket is closed, it cannot be reopened; a new WebSocket objected must be constructed.
Web sockets can be an efficient solution for a web applications that require regular communication with a server. Because a web socket is established once and used repeatedly without the need for communication over HTTP, it can greatly reduce the overhead of sending multiple HTTP headers back and forth. In addition, web sockets can eliminate the need for inefficient communication practices such as polling, in which the browser checks repeatedly for new data on the server. Because a web socket is an open communication channel, the browser only needs to listen for incoming messages. When the server has new data, it sends a new message to the browser. The browser receives the message as it arrives.
Web sockets are not subject to the same-origin policy. The browser can open a socket with a server that is different from the server that originally served the web page.
By default, support for web sockets is disabled in the BlackBerry Browser. To establish a web socket between the browser and a server, the user must first select the Enable Web Sockets setting in the BlackBerry Browser options. Because this technology is dependent upon a user setting, web developers should provide alternate content in the event that web sockets are not available.
Embedded media
The BlackBerry® Browser now includes full support for HTML 5 embedded media, excluding the <track> element.
- the <audio> and <video> elements, which let you embed audio or video into your content without the need for a plug-in
- the <source> element , which lets you specify a media resource; multiple <source> elements can be included to specify a prioritized list of media resources
- a scripting API that lets you control playback
- a set of media-related events
Using <audio> or <video> elements to embed media into your content allows the media to be played within the web content without requiring a third-party plug-in, and without opening the file in the Media application and hiding the web page. Developers can also access and manipulate embedded media through the DOM using JavaScript® and CSS.

Comments about Patagonia Reversible Flannel Jacket (Men's):
Having the versatility of a reversible jacket is great and the colors/styling are nice. But only having hand pockets on the flannel side is a bit of a bummer. The sizing seems a bit large on this jacket as well. I normally wear a medium but probably could have gone with a small for this jacket. Bottom line, the jacket is warm and looks great, but think about getting a size smaller than usual.

The 2013 interview and clubhouse cap…
According to Mets Bro, this is the cap which will be worn in the clubhouse and during post game interviews:
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
What. The Hell. Is This About? Frankly, it's not at all surprising, I suppose, especially when given the level of marketing and promotions within Major League Baseball already. I'd love to know more about this, since I assume it has something to do with knowing these guys will be on camera after games doing interviews, so it has to have something to do with that, i.e., marketing a new sales opportunity, I guess. Anyway, we know from past drama that all-things-hats is a league issue, not a team issue, so there is no way this is exclusive to the Mets… I hope.
Michael Baron, Contributor
This hat is ridiculous and unnecessary. Of course, the advent of a batting practice cap is unnecessary as it is, other than to market and sell them both in stores and at the ballpark. I was hoping the interview hat would be a little more subtle and traditional, but it's loud and almost obnoxious looking. And what's with the grey? I'm guessing all teams will be wearing a hat like this for the same purpose, but … wow.
