It was truly a shame too because prior to the injury, Jagielo had been finding his groove. In seventeen games played in May, he was hitting .281 with six bombs, 17 RBI's and an impressive .839 OPS to match.
"The injury kind of came out of nowhere in the middle of the game," Jagielo lamented. "It ended up being an internal oblique injury."
For a power hitter like Jagielo, any kind of ailment to the midsection is devastating as the injury prevents the player from getting full rotation and torque behind their swing. In fact, the word "oblique" has become an ubiquitous cause for alarm in professional baseball in the past few years.
Former Tigers skipper Jim Leyland put it best in an interview he did with FanGraphs in 2011. "I learned a long time ago when the word oblique is mentioned, I get nervous… I've never seen an oblique alright in a day or two. It's never happened as long as I've been managing," he told them.
Though being informed that you have a widely feared injury can be somewhat soul crushing, Jagielo maintained a level head and a sense of maturity throughout the entire process.
"It was frustrating but you can't do anything about it," he said. "That's the game of baseball, you've gotta go about your business the right way because you never know when something like that's going to happen."
The waiting game tested Jagielo, but he remained focused on diligently rehabbing with the Tampa training staff.
"This is the first time I've had to go through a midseason rehab," he said. "I'm just trying to take the good side out of it and learn how to prevent it. If anything ever happens in the future you learn how to get back quicker."
According to Jagielo, the rehabilitation process was fairly straightforward. Once the injury was fully healed, the training staff worked on restrengthening his throwing and hitting mechanics. After a successful stint in the Gulf Coast League, he was finally cleared to return on July 16th, much to his manager's delight.
"It's very exciting having that type of player back in your lineup," Tampa skipper Al Pedrique said.
"Before he got hurt he was swinging the bat well, leading the team in home runs and RBI's. Now that he's back 100 percent with a month and a half left in the season he'll be able to help us."
It's hard to see injury as opportunity, but this could be the fuel that pushes Eric Jagielo to come back stronger than ever.
Hitting Coach P.J. Pilittere certainly thinks so.
"My confidence is that he can be better than he was before the injury. This year is his first full season as a professional player. He has amazing potential and my expectations are very high for him as a hitter," Pilittere remarked.
For Jagielo, the biggest excitement comes from reuniting with his teammates.
"It was a relief when they let me start coming back," he said. "Just having the game atmosphere and being around the guys and the coaching staff was great. I mean it's awesome, it definitely lifts your spirits. The best advice some of the guys and coaches told me was not to do too much right away."
While Pedrique is thrilled at Jagielo's successful rehabilitation and return, he cautions that it will still take a bit more time before he's fully adjusted.
"It's going to take a few games for him to find his timing and his swing," Pedrique opined. "A lot of the guys he was facing in the first half are gone, they got called up so he'll be facing new pitchers and having to adjust."
Yet, Pedrique knows full and well that if anyone can handle the challenge, it's the former first round draft pick.
"There's no doubt about [the fact that he'll be ready.] We know he can be helping the team getting RBI's and big hits for us. He's the type of guy that will fight every at-bat and give you his best," Pedrique concluded.
Jagielo Glad to be Back

Many people struggle with long-term pain. But help from your GP and hospital pain services can lessen the pain, improve your independence and help you cope in general.
There are two main types of pain:
You may have a painful diagnosed condition such as arthritis or diabetes nerve pain. Or, you may have a painful condition that medical science doesn't fully understand, such as long-term back pain.
Often, chronic pain is an illness in its own right, due to a fault or malfunction in the body's pain system.
Whatever the cause of your pain, it's important that doctors and other clinicians take you and your pain seriously. That's because pain is a complicated, hard-to-treat problem, and the answer may not necessarily always be stronger and stronger painkillers (analgesics).
According to Dr Alf Collins, a consultant in pain management at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, people who have long-term pain should be thought of as having a pain-related disability.
He advises asking yourself the following questions: "What is the pain getting in the way of? How can I set goals for the future? How can painkillers help me reach my goals? How can I cope, become more independent and manage this for myself? How can my family, carers and healthcare staff support me in my plans to be more in control of my life?"
Dr Collins says, "People with long-term pain often have a variety of problems. The emotional consequences come not just from the pain, but from how the pain changes the way they live their lives and perhaps the way they think about themselves."
There are two main types of pain.
If you have short-term (acute) pain, your GP will try to make a diagnosis and treat the pain.
If you have long-term pain it might be as a result of a diagnosed medical condition, a painful condition that is not yet fully understood or no underlying condition at all. This doesn't mean you don't have pain, but it does mean that a different approach to managing that pain might be helpful.
If you have mild to moderate pain, for example as a result of arthritis, your GP can talk to you about painkillers and other ways of managing the pain such as:
If your pain is more severe and affecting your quality of life, damaging your mobility and stopping you leaving the house, you could probably benefit from a referral to your local pain clinic
There are around 300 pain clinics in the UK. Most are in hospitals and have teams of staff from different medical areas, including occupational therapists, psychologists, doctors, nurses and physiotherapists. They all work together to help people with pain.
Pain clinics vary but usually offer a variety of treatments aimed at relieving long term pain, such as painkilling drugs; injections; hypnotherapy and acupuncture.
You will need to be referred to a pain clinic by your GP or hospital consultant.
Pain management programmes are a series of sessions, for groups of 6-8 people, aimed at teaching you how to live with your pain. Instead of treating your pain, you learn to cope with it and, research shows, can expect to enjoy a better quality of life, sleep and mobility afterwards.
Some hospital pain clinics offer pain management programmes, and some are held within GP surgeries.As with pain clinics, you will need a referral to join a pain management programme from a GP or hospital specialist.

I wasn't disappointed. The book is written as a series of posthumous letters by Mr Ogura to his deceased wife, who died around a week after the blast. He records events from the moment of the bombing to a couple of weeks afterwards.
He does an excellent job of capturing the disorientation of the people he meets, the panic and ignorance of people of what had just befallen them.
Some of the stories are horrific, the terrible fate that befall so many of those who survived the initial explosion, trapped in their ruined and burning houses.
There is some great description of a city in ruins, and some brilliant observations (given the stress he must have been under), about the way the bomb had effected various structures.
The final section of the book is devoted to the heart rending death of his wife - succumbing to radiation sickness - an illness that baffled so many at the time, unsure why they were dying with relatively minor injuries.
All in all, an incredible book - Mr Ogura just comes across as an ordinary person caught up in horrific, exceptional circumstances - no different from the citizens of any country that could have befallen this awful fate - driven to the brink of destruction by a government he does not support but can do nothing about...

"Letters from the End of the World", along with "Hiroshima Diary," present the attack on Hiroshima in terms of the human cost and suffering of civilians. More lives were lost in the fire bombings of Japanese cities and the destruction of Dresden but both the immediate and long-term effects of the use of nuclear weapons constitute a horrific act.
We now know that the use of violence against civilian populations tends to strengthen a resolve to fight to the bitter end. Yet, it remains a tactic by some and an accepted consequence by most. The use of nuclear weapons against Japan were not the deciding factor in ending the war. It was already over.
As long as governments and citizens choose to accept the slaughter of civilians as a collateral consequence to conflict, atrocities will continue. Self-satisfied, unexamined clucking about the unfortunate inevitability of civilian deaths in war is a moral crime in itself. Especially since the 20th century heralded in an age of increasing civilian death tolls in all conflicts.
Capt. Paul Tibbets (pilot of the Enola Gay) went to his grave with no regrets about Hiroshima. To his credit, he met with at least one hibakusha (disfigured survivor of the attack). Tibbets rightly stated that all war is immoral and leads to immoral action. We'd better find a different way to settle differences.
Hiroshima today is a gleaming, modern city that somewhat mutes even a visit to the Atomic Bomb Dome. Even the memorial museum does not convey the horror of August 6th, 1945 the way the witness testimonies do. I can't imagine someone reading this book and not being moved.

This was a different sort of start to the draft for the Red Sox.
It has become an annual ritual for the team to scribble the word "Impact" at the top of its draft board as a reminder of its desire to draft not merely future major leaguers but potential stars. Typically, the players who can be projected for such a status with a degree of certainty are pulled off the board in the earliest picks.
That, in turn, has left the Sox selecting players with a greater degree of risk or projection in recent seasons. In 2008 (Casey Kelly) and 2009 (Reymond Fuentes), the team tabbed high schoolers — almost always a riskier proposition than college players — with its top picks. In 2007, the team grabbed a college closer (Nick Hagadone) whom it converted into a starter, hoping that it had found a player whose ceiling had remained unexplored in college.
But this year, with three of the top 39 picks in the draft, the Sox were able to snare college players whom they viewed as being among the best performers in the country. There isn't as much guessing: third baseman Kolbrin Vitek (Ball State), outfielder Bryce Brentz (Middle Tennessee State) and pitcher Anthony Ranaudo (Louisiana State) had shown an ability to be as dominant on the field as nearly any college players in the draft.
That is not a guarantee that they will become stars. Nonetheless, the Sox were thrilled with what they perceived as a combination of high-ceiling talent with excellent track records against elite college (and national) competition.
"We're really happy that we were able to get the certainty of college players but the potential impact of high-ceiling guys as well," Sox GM Theo Epstein said. "At one point, we looked at our board and said we might be able to go Vitek, Brentz Ranaudo. That was a best-case scenario.
"It only means so much," he continued. "We're not going to pat ourselves on the back for taking these guys. But looking back in five years, hopefully we feel as good about this draft as we do now."
Despite the team's enthusiasm for its choices, they are not without risk. Vitek's level of competition in the MAC was an imperfect gauge of his abilities, while Ranaudo and Brentz both suffered through injuries in 2010 that hindered their performances.
Nonetheless, all three of the players whom the Sox selected were, at one point or another, viewed as potential top 10 selections in the 2010 draft.
According to baseball sources, the Padres were prepared to take Vitek with the ninth overall pick of the draft had their targeted player (high school pitcher Karsten Whitson) been taken. Brentz' significant power, coming off a tremendous sophomore year, had him as a top-of-the-first-round name before a high ankle sprain limited his season. Ditto Ranaudo, who was a likely top five pick as the consensus best college pitcher in the draft before a forearm injury derailed most of his season.
"It couldn't have worked out any better as far as we're concerned," Epstein said. "I know that 30 teams come out of the draft room high-fiving, excited that their guys got to their picks. That only means so much. Time will always tell in the draft. But we were as happy in the draft room as at any time that any time that I've been here. Things really broke our way, and we couldn't be more excited about all three guys."
Here is a closer look at each:
KOLBRIN VITEK, 2B/3B/RHP, BALL STATE UNIVERSITY, 1st round (No. 20 overall)
The message from most of the college baseball programs to Kolbrin Vitek was the same. Teams were interested in having him join their programs, but they wanted the right-hander with a low-90s fastball to pitch.
Vitek insisted on finding a place where he would be able to be a two-way player. Ball State complied, and the 6-foot-3 right-hander flourished while playing second and third as well as serving as the team's Sunday pitcher.
Though he was successful on the mound, ultimately, Vitek's offensive potential became too great to ignore.
"It didn't take long. By the end of his freshman year, I was starting to get a sense that an offensive player was what he was going to be as a professional," Ball State coach Greg Beals said. "His size, his speed and his bat, that combination, I saw it just being a little more special."
His tremendous bat speed, generated with a compact right-handed stroke, is complemented by an impressive across-the-board tool set that ultimately led the Sox to draft him with the No. 20 pick of the first round.
Vitek hit .361 with a .445 OBP, .691 slugging mark, 17 homers and 16 steals en route to winning Mid-American Conference Player of the Year honors. Sox amateur scouting director Amiel Sawdaye expects Vitek's present gap-to-gap power to grow into above-average power as his frame fills out thanks to an advanced plate approach. Certainly, he has a frame that suggests untapped power potential.
"The thing that separates him from the average college hitter is he's able to generate bat speed with a very balanced approach," Beals said. "The thing that's really interesting is that Kolbrin is 6-foot-3, and the frame is still a little wiry. When he becomes 26 years old, I think the power tool is going to be a whole lot better than it is now. I think it's a great combination headed into pro ball."
He complements his plate approach with above-average speed on the bases, above-average range and, unsurprisingly, an above-average arm.
"We kind of fell in love with his bat and his athleticism," Epstein said.
The 21-year-old was Ball State's Sunday pitcher in 2010. After playing third base as a sophomore, Beals moved him to second as a junior in large part to reduce the strain on Vitek's arm on days when he wasn't pitching.
Now, with Vitek's pitching days behind him, the Sox will move him back to third base to start his pro career. While some teams projected him as an outfielder (given his speed and range, likely a center fielder), Vitek has the raw tools, according to Sox amateur scouting director Amiel Sawdaye, to project as an average third baseman.
Vitek's college coach agrees, and suggests that he will have his first real opportunity to develop his defense once he turns pro.
"I think the defense has got to develop in order to call him a five-tool guy, but he's got range and foot speed. He's got the tools to develop," Beals said. "It's going to be fun to watch him throw from third base when he knows he doesn't have to save himself for a 100-pitch outing.
"Kolbrin was wearing many hats. The defense developed the slowest. I'm excited to watch him play as a professional when he's not going to worry about pitching anymore. I think it's a very exciting future, what might happen there."
Vitek said that he and the Sox had reached a verbal agreement on a deal, and a baseball source confirmed that the outfielder had agreed in principle (pending a physical) to sign for the slot bonus.
"We decided on a number that was definitely a fair contract for me and a fair contract for them," Vitek said. "We're excited to get it started and sign up pretty quickly here and get going and get into this thing as soon as possible.
"It's very exciting to join such a successful organization, and I'm excited to see how they run it and I'm excited to get it all started," he said.
BRYCE BRENTZ, OF, MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY, Supplemental first round (No. 36 overall)
Brentz, quite simply, can mash.
"[He is] an impact power bat, arguably a top 10 pick coming into this year," Sawdaye said. "A guy that had just light tower, plus raw power. We brought him into Fenway before the draft and he was just wearing out Lansdowne Street."
Based on his performance with Middle Tennessee State and Team USA, he is viewed as a fairly safe bet to be a middle-of-the-order hitter with the production to be an everyday corner outfielder in the majors.
Defensively, he played center field in college, and while his professional future more likely is in right field, he has a chance to be average or above average at that position. Like Vitek, he was a two-way player in college, meaning that he almost surely has the arm for right field.
But offense is Brentz's calling card. In 2010, he hit .348 with a .440 OBP, .636 slugging mark and 15 homers in 46 games as a junior. Those numbers represented a drop from his 2009 numbers, when he led the NCAA in homers (28), average (.465) and slugging percentage (.930).
Some of the 21-year-old's decline could be attributed to what the Sox described as a high ankle sprain that cost him playing time. (Though it may be no more than a matter of semantics, multiple reports referred to the injury as a stress fracture.) That, in turn, cost Brentz some of his rhythm at the plate, helping to explain his performance drop.
"He said [the injury] didn't affect his approach, didn't affect what he'd done this year," said Sawdaye. "Obviously, a lot of hitting is timing. We just think he needed to get into some more at-bats and some more consistent at-bats to get back into the swing of things."
Like Vitek, Brentz appears likely to sign quickly and begin his professional career in the coming days.
"In the case of Vitek and Brentz, it's an added bonus that it appears they have a chance to sign and get out quickly," Epstein said. "It's refreshing."
ANTHONY RANAUDO, RHP, LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY, Supplemental first round (No. 39 overall)
The Sox' interest in Ranaudo was no secret. The 6-foot-7 power pitcher entered the year as a consensus top-five overall draft pick after a dominating sophomore year (12-3, 3.04) that concluded with him claiming the win in the College World Series championship game.
But his performance and, at times, velocity fell off in 2010 as he fought injury (described as a stress reaction in his right forearm) and then mechanical woes. As a junior, he is 5-3 with a 7.32 ERA and while his strikeout totals remained high (54 in 51.2 innings), his walks totals also spiked (27).
His stuff, however, has returned in recent outings, but because of medical concerns, his performance inconsistency and the fact that his advisor is Scott Boras, who will expect his client to receive a bonus commensurate with his skills when healthy, Ranaudo dropped to the sandwich round in the draft. The Sox viewed the development as a significant opportunity to acquire a talent who has already demonstrated that, when healthy, he has the ability to pitch in the front end of a rotation.
"Without the downturn in performance, he's probably not available to us in the sandwich round," Epstein said. "He's someone who obviously went through a little bit of adversity this year but bounced back and really put things together at the end.
"We saw him early, before he missed time. Significantly, we saw him late," he added. "He came back and threw a really good outing at the SEC tournament where he really looked healthy, then he pitched out of the bullpen with a plus fastball. He looked healthy again at regionals."
After having seen Ranaudo pitch with healthy prior to this year, the Sox understood that he has significant potential. He is huge and athletic, giving him the ability (when healthy) to repeat his delivery and attack with a powerful mid-90s fastball, above-average curve and average changeup.
The injury unquestionably affected him for much of the year, but based on their medical evaluations, the Sox felt comfortable using their sandwich pick on him.
"We saw him as a freshman and sophomore and we saw him on the Cape. We saw him early this year and knew what kind of pitcher he was. He came up lame with what they're calling a stress reaction," Sawdaye said. "We did a lot of our homework on him and we feel comfortable."
The team suggested that Ranaudo might pitch in a summer league, something that could give both sides a better gauge of a fair value for his bonus number after this injury-interrupted season.
Epstein said that it remains to be seen how the negotiation might proceed with Ranaudo. Boras and his clients typically engage in a prolonged negotiation process. The Sox are not concerned about that possibility.
"It's not every day you can sign a player immediately after the draft," Epstein said. "The good ones are sometimes worth waiting for."

There's a new type of keyboard switch a-comin'. Most laptop keyboards these days use scissor switches backed by rubber cups, but as CNet News reports, a company named Darfon has replaced that mechanism with frickin' magnets.
How do they work? Simple: instead of sitting on collapsible rubber cups or domes, the keys hover magnetically. The CNet story says it's possible to alter the resistance level "electronically," so I presume these are electromagnets we're talking about. Don't go investing all your savings in neodymium futures just yet.
Darfon expects its "Maglev Keyboard" design to help make laptops thinner. Indeed, in CNet's picture of a prototype implementation, the key caps are almost flush with the notebook's casing. That has its downsides, though: CNet's Aloysius Low explains that, while the "pressure and 'clickiness'" of the prototype was good, "the keys were so close to the notebook that it was quite hard to type with." I've had similarly aggravating experiences with shallow chiclet keyboards in the past. Perhaps making the key caps slightly concave would help.
Oh, and since these are electromagnets, I'd also expect there to be a small battery life hit. Too bad the CNet story doesn't address that point.
Nitpicks aside, I do think the prospect of replacing rubber cups with electromagnets holds promise. Rubber can wear out and lose its responsiveness over time, but electromagnets shouldn't have that problem. We'll see how well the concept works out later this year, when Darfon expects its first notebook design wins to hit the market.

Charming hotel right on the beach.Posted Jul 25, 2016
It's not a flash modern resort but it was very secluded and private and our ocean view room had a beautiful aspect just meters from the beach. If, like me, you don't like big busy resorts but want a comfortable place to stay that is relaxing and peaceful this would be a good choice. Shuttle service into Lahaina for activities and shopping were easy and reliable.

Great Maui HotelPosted Apr 14, 2016
We have only wonderful things to say about our stay st The Kaanapali Ocean Inn.This is our third stay and we highly recommend it in every way. The location is unbeatable and as close to the beach as can be. The staff are personable as well as professional. This hotel is Fabulous for the price and I would highly recommend it to my family and friends.

Despite a comparatively value price, the hotel needs an upgrade- the bathrooms are tiny and moldy, the decor is 60ish. We had to walk to another complex to get ice and the swimming pool is small and unimaginative. We did enjoy the bocce ball courts.

I've swapped for a larger size when there is no longer a lot of bottom coverage. I would probably switch to a size 2 in your case, since there is a bit of pinkness around the legs.
i always size up if they cant easily be stretched around the legs and waist or if they arent holding everything

text: Chris Brown 'Jumped' Frank Ocean Over a Parking Space, Cementing His Status as World-Class AssholeMax Read1/28/13 8:54amFiled to: Chris BrownFrank OceanbrawlsFightingparking lotTop2773EditInvite manuallyPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Chris Brown, the world's most-hated pop singer, is under investigation for assault (again), stemming from an "all-out brawl" with Frank Ocean — one of the internet's most beloved R&B singers — apparently over a parking space. There's at least two versions of the story going around, so bear with us. According to TMZ ("The Bandit's Tale") — who, let's be clear, is basing their version on the accounts of Brown's friends and crew — Ocean was the instigator: Chris was at Westlake Studio in the L.A. area listening to one of the artists he represents. The sources say as Chris went to leave, Frank Ocean and his crew blocked Chris from leaving. The sources say Frank said, "This is my studio, this is my parking spot." We're told Chris went to shake Frank's hand ... and that's when one of Frank's people attacked Chris. Sources connected with Chris say one of Chris' friends jumped in front and hit Frank's friend. Sources connected with Chris say Frank then came at Chris ... Chris pushed him away and they started brawling. Then there's the (abridged) version that Ocean is telling on Twitter ("The Woodcutter's Tale"). Everest is Ocean's dog: Advertisement "Witnesses" who talked to the Post back up Ocean, saying "Brown threw the first punch." According to TMZ, Ocean stuck around after the fight to talk to police, while Brown didn't, so it's not surprising that the police are looking for Brown — but as of right now no one is pressing charges. Let's be honest: it's not hard to choose between those two versions. Brown is a violent, angry, abusive asshole known for beating his ex-girlfriend and starting brawls in the club. Ocean, meanwhile, has never been accused of assault and isn't known for hitting people. (He's also, after coming out as bisexual last year, maybe the most beloved entertainer in music right now.) Sponsored Brown's insane fans, led on Twitter by his disturbingly overprotective mother, won't care — if you can still love Chris Brown after seeing photographs of Rihanna's face after he beat her before the Grammys, you'll love him forever — but if there's anyone out there who was still neutral (unlikely), jumping one of music's nice guys over a parking space isn't going to tip them over to the "good" side. But that's Brown's m.o. What other pop singer's long-term strategy involves alienating every human being on the planet, one violent incident at a time?

"Game of Thrones" skips the book twist amid fans' disappointment
June 26, 2014 - 09:31 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - "Game of Thrones" viewers who read the book might have expected the resurrection of one beloved character in season 4. When the book twist, [SPOILER ALERT!] which has Catelyn Stark being brought from the dead by Thoros of Myr as the vengeful Lady Stoneheart, didn't happen until the season 4 finale, fans took to social media to express the disappointment, AceShowbiz said.
Now in new interviews, Michelle Fairley confirms that her character likely won't return on the show. "Yeah, the character's dead. She's dead," the Lady Catelyn depicter tells Entertainment Weekly.
She explains, "You respect the writers' decision. I knew the arc, and that was it. They can't stick to the books 100 percent. It's impossible-they only have 10 hours per season. They have got to keep it dramatic and exciting, and extraneous stuff along the way gets lost in order to maintain the quality of brilliant show."
The actress, who stars on "24: Live Another Day", repeats the statement in an interview with TV Guide. "Catelyn Stark is dead, I'm afraid. I'm sorry to say it, but she's dead," she says. "Unfortunately, people might be expecting one thing, but it doesn't happen. It's life."
"Game of Thrones" wrapped up its fourth season on June 15. The show is expected to return with the new season in 2015.

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon admitted today heroin production in Afghanistan has risen 61 per cent in the past year despite billions of pounds being spent by Britain and others to crack down on the Taliban.I"m not sure why they are surprised by this. The entire point of invading Afghanistan was to turn the opium production back on because the major international banks require the black market reserve capital from the drug trade to keep their heads above water. In 2001, the Taliban had SUCCESSFULLY SHUT DOWN ALL OPIUM PRODUCTION IN AFGHANISTAN.
