Interview: Naina & Hoskote talk 'The Amazing Race'
The season's first eliminated pair discusses their lone Leg
As they briefly indicated during their lone Leg, father-daughter Hoskote and Naina Venkatesh went on "The Amazing Race" in large part because Naina wanted to prove herself to her traditional, India-born father.
When I met with Naina and Hoskote before they departed, she proudly told me that he had agreed that in any point-of-contention on the Race, she would get to be the final arbiter, a prospect that she found unique and exciting for their relationship.
She was skeptical, of course, that he would be able to set aside his usual role as patriarch to be flexible, but she was also hopeful.
Unfortunately, Naina and Hoskote were eliminated after only one Leg and without getting to make any crucial decisions at all. They got on a later flight to Chile that put their pack of four teams behind the lead group of seven and then a problematic cab ride put them behind the other three teams and that was that.
In their exit interview, Naina and Hoskote lament having an elimination so out of their control and try to emphasize that what looked like a clue-reading gaffe in the episode's second Roadblock wasn't a gaffe at all. Naina also expresses her disappointment at not getting to prove herself to her father.
The full Q&A is after the break...
HitFix: You guys got in a hole immediately because you ended up on that second flight. As one of the teams with actual Southern California roots, how did that happen?
Naina Venkatesh: We actually had no problem getting to the airport at all. In the beginning, what happened is the speaker-phone in the car wasn't registering our communication very well. So that was the little SNAFU we had in the beginning, but getting to the airport we had no problem. What happened is there was a point in the clue where we had to do something that I think a lot of the other teams forgot to do, so that delayed us a little bit more as well, but actually getting to the airport and getting on the flight and finding the airport and whatnot was not a problem for us at all.
HitFix: When you realized you were on that second flight how did that change your mindset and change the pressure that the rest of the Leg put on you?
Hoskote Venkatesh: Well, it was disappointing, but something that we could easily overcome, because the Race was structured in the first Leg, the delay between the first and the second flight was like only 30 minutes into Santiago, Chile. Our flight was going through Dallas and the first flight was going through Miami. Unfortunately, the circumstances were such that there was a hurricane in Dallas on that one day and because of that, our flight was going to be an hour-and-a-half late going out of Los Angeles and an hour or an hour-and-a-half late going out from Dallas into Santiago, Chile. So that effectively meant that we knew before we even left Los Angeles that we were going to be three hours late, minimum, going into Santiago. See, the way the Leg was structured, like I said, was there was going to be only a 30-minute gap by the time we could board the flight out of Santiago and there was a one-hour window to catch a flight from Santiago to Iquique, so we would have all been on the same flight going out from Santiago. Unfortunately, because we ended up being three-and-a-half hours late into Santiago, we missed that flight, through an act of God, and never could make it up. By the time we ended up in Iquique, we were three-and-a-half hours late and that effectively eliminated us from competing with seven other teams. That was the kicker.
We have been rabid fans of the show since 2003. The way Bertram [van Munster] and Elise [Doganieri], I admire them really, they have structured a show which combines so much of adventure and travel... we love the show. We think it should get an Emmy every darned year! It's such a fantastic show and we've been dreaming of the show, so when you are eliminated from the show due to circumstances that are totally beyond your control... I wish they could have given us a chance to use our navigation skills once we knew we were going to be three-and-a-half hours late into Santiago, even before we left Los Angeles we knew were going to be that late into Santiago. I wish we could have used our navigational skills and also our chutzpah, our own travel skills, to be able to take our flight into Chile and say, "OK, we're gonna lose anyway, so you've gotta do something to change your fate." I wish we could we could have done something. In that case, I could have felt good. With we could have done that, but I can understand that there are some logistics problems or whatever it may be and we can't do that. But if we could do that? Over the years, I've traveled millions of miles. I've traveled in bush planes. I've traveled in propellor aircrafts. I've found different ways to get to a destination if I'm late. We could have done a fantastic job and that would have made it a truly amazing race. I just wish there was a situation where once you leave the beginning thing, they should leave and say, "You're on your own. Find your way to the destination." That would have been fantastic and we could have used our navigation skills to get there. But you are three-and-a-half hours late into a destination, especially when every minute counts on this Race, and you're already hamstrung with that delay. It's very difficult, if the other seven teams have already finished even before you get into town, to compete. Basically, you're done. Your goose is cooked.
HitFix: I've talked with contestants in the past who have been relieved when the thing that eliminated them was out of their control, because at least it wasn't something that could eat at them. It doesn't sound like you guys are particularly relieved.
Naina: Yeah, well we're just Type-A competitive personalities like that. We like to be in the middle of things and be really involved and just be able to compete with other people. As my dad says, we've been fans of the show for so long that we just wanted a chance to be in there with the rest of the teams and show what we were capable of, because we talk the talk and we walk the walk and, unfortunately, that really wasn't portrayed like we had hoped. We just wanted to soak up the experience. I don't like to say, "Yeah, we didn't really get to do what we came out to do, because of this and this and this" because it was out of our control, but if things had been different, I think the circumstances would have turned out completely differently.
Hoskote: How ironic that one day we had to have a hurricane in Dallas. If it had been been a day before or a day after? But it was on that one day. For somebody who's been so enamored of the show and dreaming and when we got the call to come on the show, we were like, "Wow! Christmas has come early!" and then to have this happen?
Naina: And especially on the first Leg. It's not acceptable. It's not fair. It's not what we wanted to happen.
HitFix: Ultimately the plane problem put you in a pack with four teams, though. But it looked like it was the cab ride, Naina, while you were following your father with the paragliding that put you permanently behind. What actually happened on the cab right that maybe we didn't see?
Naina: Gosh! It sure was. I left second, as you guys may have noticed, from the paragliding, so we were actually in prime position to compete with the three other teams very well. I actually have no idea what he did. There was a lot of traffic. What he probably ended up doing was taking a very convoluted route. He didn't speak a word of English, so I tried as best as I could with the minimal amount of Spanish that I have to communicate with him, but obviously I didn't know how to get to the location because I've never been to Chile before and when my dad told me that the last team had left a good 20 or 25 minutes before I had even arrived, my heart sunk, because that was not what I had expected leaving second. I was so pumped leaving the parasailing area, that we were still in this, that we would still be very competitive. We were neck-and-neck up until that point and I had no doubt in my mind that we would go out with our guns blazing no matter what happened, but because of another delay that we incurred? My heart just sunk. I was just so disappointed and so distraught after that. That right to pick up my dad definitely hit us hard and it was the end of the game for us, basically.
HitFix: Was that the sort of circumstance where, because you didn't know where you were going, you didn't have any awareness that it was taking longer than it should have? Or did you have a sense?
Naina: Oh no, I had a sense. He was taking all of these quick turns here and there and I was just wondering if the clue or if the location would be this convoluted to get there. Just logistically, I didn't think the people who created this Leg of "The Amazing Race" for Chile would have done something so intricate. He was on his phone and he was making all of these quick turns and we were sitting in traffic and it just seemed very awkward. I had a very, very uneasy feeling in my stomach and I was getting really, bad vibes that something was wrong.
HitFix: There was a lot of time spent in the episode on the mistake you guys made in the Roadblock and who was supposed to do the rowing, but do you think that even if you'd made that choice correctly immediately it would have made any difference at all?
Naina: Well, I'm glad I can explain this. Yeah. On television it did look like I had read the clue incorrectly. However, what they didn't show is that we reread the clue after and my dad and I decided since pretty much everyone had finished up the boating -- we were the last ones there and we didn't see anyone -- that I would do it no matter what, because I had done nothing on this Leg. The fact that my dad is the way he is, he would not have let me escape this experience without having done something valuable and memorable, for me to at least think that I had some kind of impact and some kind of contribution to this Leg. So despite what may have been shown [on Sunday], we both actually knew that he was supposed to do it, but I wanted to do something. I had done nothing all day but sit on airplanes and in taxis and I was not going to go out of this Race having done nothing, so at least I got that. What ended up happening is I ended up getting tired, it was getting dark and so I just kinda figured, "OK. We might as well wrap up this Leg." So I came back to the dock and my dad finished it.
Hoskote: That's the dad in me. I just wanted her to have something, because we love this show much. I think is, like I said, the best reality TV show on television. I just wanted her to at least see that she did something. So I said, "OK. Let her have some fun. I know we're reading it wrong and we look stupid that she's doing it," but I said, "What the heck? Let me give her a chance." That's the dad in me unfortunately.
HitFix: Naina, you lamented that you didn't get to show your father all that you wanted to and you didn't get to prove yourself to him the way you wanted to. But the conversation that this brief experience started, did it continue? Has there a chance in your relationship that continued since?
Naina: Not really, to be honest with you. We didn't get to really explore our relationship outside from the norm that we are both used to in our regular lives. The Race would definitely have opened up a whole bag of opportunities to explore different paths that we, necessarily during our everyday lives, don't get to experience, and were put in situations and circumstances and mental and physical feats that would bring out different sides of our personalities. My dad, because of what we do in our everyday lives, we don't necessarily interact like that and I didn't get an opportunity to show that to him. I feel somewhat lacking in that ability to have been able to show him that and I really would like another chance, because our relationship really hasn't changed and that was that was the prime reason why we did it, to be able to bring me out as someone that my dad can see is confident, competent and able to make her own decisions without him butting in. I have a good head on my shoulders, which may not have occurred to people who watched the show, necessarily. I'm very smart. I'm very intelligent. I'm able to make very, very good decisions. But my dad, being as traditional as he is, takes a very active role in my life and he thinks what he's doing for me is always correct and, as we all know, when we're young and we have parents like that, that are very involved with our life, they sometimes can be a little bit of a pest or just conflicting with what we want to do and we don't really want to fight with them, but then again we have to stand up for what we believe. In the Race, the circumstances that you're put in will enable a child to come out like that and be able to demonstrate to their parent that they're truly very independent and they can function on their own. I'd really like another chance to be able to do that with my dad.

HR20 records local HD in SD
Posted 06 October 2006 - 09:18 AM
Posted 06 October 2006 - 09:21 AM
Greetings, this is along the lines of a similar post I had before, but am still having the problem. Watched and recorded Lost two nights ago. While watching live, it was in HD - when I watched the recorded version it was in SD stretched. I noticed that when I channel surf up to another local (in this case in Austin channel 36 NBC which is not HD at all) and then surf down back again to ABC, Lost was in SD. But when I manually punched in channel 24 in the remote, Lost came up as HD. Does this have something to do with not having Native mode on? I have noticed this with all of my locals that to get HD, I need to manually punch in the channel numbers - just surfing brings up SD. Thanks for your help.
You have to make sure that when you originally set it to record, you picked the right HD station. Depending where you are; the MPEG4 stations can be listed first or second on the guide or after you perform your search.
Posted 06 October 2006 - 09:28 AM
Unless you set up favorites to eliminate the SD local channel, there is 2 channels associated with your locals, a SD one and a HD one. When you set up your SL recordings, you must make sure that you chosen the HD local to record from. In Chicago area, I can tell which channel is the SD one vs. the HD one by looking at the channel designator in the channel guide. If the channel only displays the channel #, then it is SD. If it displays the stations call letters as well (WBBM) it is HD. IN chicago the first number in the duplicate set is the HD one. I don't know if this applies across all localities.

Posted 06 October 2006 - 09:38 AM
I'm not seeing duplicates in channel guide. I have noticed that on Fox, and fox only - if I manually punch in channel 7, it will come in HD - if I then channel surf up, it moves to channel 7 in SD. That is the only local that does that though.
I had some issues with my local channels being listed in the guide when I first activated on Monday night. You can try to reset to see if that helps. If not, call DTV and have them "do their thing". For me, I think they actually turned off my service, then turned it back on after a minute or so and that fixed the problem.

2007 Volkswagen Rabbit PZEV 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 5cyl 5M)
I got my Rabbit a few months ago and absolutely LOVE it! My family has always driven Volkswagens and I'm no exception. It has great torque, super spacious insides for a two door, and it ultra sleek in design on the outside as well as in. My boyfriend is 6'2" and fits in the passenger seat comfortably, where as on the opposite spectrum, I am 5'4" and the seat and wheel adjust well for smaller build too. Recently took it on a 1,000 mile road trip and loved every minute of it! Great storage in the hatch, and all the options are wonderful, specially the mp3 hookup in the arm rest. The sparkly blue paint is great, and didn't cost a cent extra. Absolutely love my Thumper!!
Sound system radio and mp3. It's surprisingly good quality speakers. And having not only the iPod dock, but the ability to read mp3 cds allows for hours of music with little extra need of storage for cds, etc. The hatch and cover are also GREAT!
They need to make it easier to open the hatch from the outside, the button on the automatic keychain thing you have to hold down too long. It also doesn't open on its own, which is a pain as a student with heavy books needing to be loaded, as well as groceries.
I had never driven a VW two weeks ago. After the test drive, I was sold. Build quality is amazing. Driving it is a joy. The 2.5 PZEV 5M is no slouch. Much more than "acceptable," well beyond "competent." Not a racecar, but great torque, and amazing responsiveness in all the conditions its been through so far. For the price, I would say that my Rabbit is an amazing blend of performance, comfort, and quality. I can't even describe the feeling one gets while driving it. During the test drive, I just wanted to laugh maniacally. On paper, it doesn't look like much of an edge over the Versa, Yaris, Fit, or tC, other than performance. In person, it feels like a whole new class of vehicle.
Standard feature list is better than competition. Comfort and build quality, road feel (can't stress this enough!). Stock performance satisfying. PZEV makes me feel better about getting such mediocre gas mileage. Utility of the hatch is awesome.
I'm gonna go in two opposite directions here. Firstly, I wouldn't mind slightly better mpg (I don't drive responsively, and I'm getting ~18mpg). Secondly, I know this isn't a GTI, but I can't help but think about what a beast this thing would be with a turbo. Engine is cousin to gallardo motor.
I purchased the 2 dr Sage Green, ABS/ESP only, w/15" steel wheels: the basic model. The ride is smooth and competent in the corners at all speeds. The engine puts out a throaty growl during accel. The pickup is superb (150 hp, 170fp of tq.), and highway cruising is excellent, with plenty of power reserve for quick escapes or conversely, with surefooted 4-wheel disk brakes to slow you down on a dime. The interior is well thought out, with driver's controls well-placed. The console lighting is especially stylish at night. Seating adjustments for a variety of driver sizes is excellent, the headroom being the most obvious. Passengers do not miss out. Folding rear seats increase cargo space.
The Rabbit has numerous standard features only available as pricy extras on comp cars in its class. Best int: night illumination. Best ext: dlippery (.32) and sleek design. Mirror mounted turn sigs. Best perf: super torque/hefty brakes for city driving. Best eng: PZEV. Best of all: price.
The MPG is a bit low when compared with my 10yr old Sentra, but the competent ride and strong engine make up for it in driving pleasure. The 2 dr cannot be ordered with: sunroof, heated seats, center armrest, 6-disc CD that the 4dr has room for. Bummer.
I was excited to own my first very own car a few months ago when I bought a Scion xA in automatic. After being rear ended and having the car declared totaled, I ended up buying the Rabbit in manual 2 door paying about a grand more than I did for my xA. I think this car drives and feels much more luxrious and upscale to the xA and '01 Civic LX of my past. Though it is harder when trying to fit people in the back only having 2 doors, Then have plenty of room back there. I am one who likes buying cars from manufacturers who builds cars in their country as my xA was made in Japan (Toyota). The Rabbits are currently made in Wolfsberg, Germany. I am sincerely impressed with my purchase.
The interior lighting at night is a pleasure. The blue and red is slick, clean, and easy to read. The seats feel a lot more comfortable than those of my past cars as well. There are lots of "Easter Eggs" such as nice turn signal blinker functions, windshield wiper goodies, and others...
I would prefer a larger stereo display along with better radio control buttons/functions. Though my gas mileage is not bad, it would kick be great if it was regularly getting in the mid-30's, like many Japanese econoboxes get while keeping the German performance.

MAC Unconventional Blush ($20.00 for 0.21 oz.) is described as a "pale shimmering lavender" with a frost finish. It's a pale pink with a hint of lavender and cool under-tones; there is an almost gray pull to the color that gives it a very cool, muted appearance. For a blush listed as a frost, it is softer, more shimmer-sheen than full of shimmer; more like a mix of frost and satin. MAC Lazy Sunday is warmer, pinker. MAC Full of Joy is a touch more lavender and less frosted–but the two are very similar. Make Up For Ever Smooth Talker is a touch pinker and less shimmery.Read Full Review

MAC Small Vanity Blush
MAC Small Vanity Blush ($22.00 for 0.21 oz.) is described as a "dusty rose tan." It's a subdued, reddish brown with a warm champagne sheen. It has a satin finish, but the sheen was a little more compared to the other two blushes in this launch–still subtle, though. MAC Stratus is the bolder, more dramatic sister–I think they will end up looking similar if you wear Stratus very, very sheerly. NARS G-Spot is rosier. MAC Petticoat is kind of similar, more metallic and pinker. MAC Notable is a little darker, less red.Read Full Review
MAC I'm the One Blush
MAC I'm the One Blush ($22.00 for 0.21 oz.) is described as a "mid-tone blue pink." Like I'm the One, this shade darkened the minute it touched the skin. It looks lighter in the pan, but swatched (and applied!), it is a lightened, medium pink with strong blue undertones–it almost has a lilac-edge to it, but it's still very much pink first. It has a satin finish, so there is a very subtle natural sheen that's most apparent the more blended out it is. NARS Gaiety is incredible similar on–swatched, it appears marginally lighter (and for darker complexions, it is more pigmented). MAC Peony Petal is darker, slightly more magenta but the difference is negligible on.Read Full Review
MAC Easy Manner Blush
MAC Easy Manner Blush ($22.00 for 0.21 oz.) is described as a "light dirty peach." It's a soft yellow-toned pink–a smidgen coral-pink. It has a satin finish, so there is an ever-so-slight sheen that's really barely-there and just makes it look natural and not flat on the skin. MAC Legendary is more coral. MAC Rosy Outlook is similar–more matte. Illamasqua Naked is darker, pinker. Tom Ford Frantic Pink is warmer, less pink. Chanel Blush Horizon is less warm. Benefit Hervana is similar. MAC Stunner is similar but has more of a sheen.Read Full Review

Each position in hockey has an important place in the game, but no position is quite as prestigious as center. Every team is looking for a star center, and any team who wants to compete is going to need one.
Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier and Phil Esposito are just a few of the legends who have occupied this spot on the roster, and much like the eras of the past, many of today's best players make their living there as well.
Centers do everything. They score, they play defence and they take faceoffs. No one is busier on the ice than these multitaskers, which is why having a top center on your team is so crucial for success.
So who are today's best centers?
Here are the 20 best players at center ice going into 2011/12 NHL regular season.

Reports: Tanaka posted, has agent
Masahiro Tanaka is one step closer to joining the Major Leagues, according to a series of Christmas Day reports.
Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News, citing a source, said that the posting period for the Japanese right-hander started Thursday morning and will conclude by Jan. 24 at 5 p.m.
Meanwhile, Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times, citing the Sponichi website in Japan, reported that Casey Close will serve as Tanaka's agent. Close also represents big league All-Stars Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Derek Jeter.
Tanaka's Nippon Professional Baseball club, the Rakuten Golden Eagles, reportedly revealed the decision to post him on Tuesday evening. The posting figures to trigger a Major League frenzy, not just because of Tanaka's talents, but also because of the new posting system regulations.
Under the new posting system, bids cannot exceed $20 million. Also, any Major League team can negotiate freely with Tanaka, with only the signing team ultimately paying the $20 million fee.
It presents a much different situation than two years ago when the Rangers won exclusive rights to negotiate with Yu Darvish after posting a winning bid worth $51.7 million.
The new posting rules figure to allow more teams the chance to pursue Tanaka, who this past season went 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA in leading the Golden Eagles to the Japan Series title. Overall, despite being just 25 years old, Tanaka has gone 99-35 with a 2.30 ERA over seven seasons in Japan.
Various reports have already mentioned the Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs, Braves, Rangers and Diamondbacks as potential frontrunners to land Tanaka's servies.
– Paul Casella
12/24 Roundup
Major League general managers got perhaps their biggest Christmas present a little early, when Nippon Professional Baseball's Rakuten Golden Eagles reportedly announced late Tuesday night that they will post star pitcher Masahiro Tanaka.
The right-hander, who went 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA in Japan this season, is certain to command serious interest from several teams, who can submit a maximum bid of $20 million in order to earn the right to negotiate with him. ESPN's Jim Bowden listed the Yankees, Angels, D-Backs, Rangers and Dodgers as some teams to watch as the situation develops.
The Eagles' decision also could open the floodgates for the starting-pitcher market. With Tanaka in limbo, the likes of Bronson Arroyo, Matt Garza, Ubaldo Jimenez and Ervin Santana remained unsigned.
ESPN's Jerry Crasnick talked to Arroyo and reported that the Yankees have "touched base" with the durable 36-year-old righty, while the Angels, Orioles and D-backs also could be good fits. Arroyo told Crasnick that his last team, the Reds, has not offered him a one-year deal, and that he hasn't been close to signing with the Twins, although those clubs still could be options.
In other news from around the league:
- The Dodgers announced the signings of free agents Juan Uribe, Chris Perez, J.P. Howell and Jamey Wright, and general manager Ned Colletti said after those moves he is "pretty much done" tweaking his roster for 2014. Colletti also deflected a question about his club's interest in Tanaka and reiterated his belief that center fielder Matt Kemp, recovering from a broken ankle, will be ready for Opening Day.
- The Blue Jays re-signed infielder Munenori Kawasaki to a Minor League contract, with an invitation to Spring Training. A fan favorite in Toronto last season, when he hit .229/.326/.308 in 289 plate appearances, Kawasaki will compete for a bench spot and possibly playing time at second base.
- Left-handed reliever Jordan Norberto has agreed to a Minor League deal with the Rays, according to the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser. Norberto posted a 2.77 ERA in 39 appearances for the A's in 2012 but didn't pitch in the Majors last season, undergoing Tommy John surgery in June, a month after Oakland released him. Slusser also reports that Norberto still must serve his 50-game suspension that came as a result of the Biogenesis investigation.
- There is mutual interest in a reunion between the Phillies and reliever Ryan Madson, CSNPhilly.com's Jim Salisbury reports. Madson played for Philadelphia from 2003-11 and saved 32 games with a 2.37 ERA in his final season there before having his past two years wiped out by elbow injuries. According to Salisbury, Madson will audition for teams soon after New Years and likely will have to take a Minor League deal.

Orioles claim RHP Hendriks, Cubs claim RHP Marshall
The Orioles have claimed right-hander Liam Hendriks off waivers from the Cubs before he could throw a pitch in the Chicago organization. And in the meantime, the Cubs have claimed right-hander Brett Marshall from the Yankees.
Hendriks was claimed by the Cubs from the Twins on Dec. 13. The righty appeared in 10 games (eight starts) for the Twins last year, going 1-3 with a 6.85 ERA in 47 1/3 innings. He also made 16 starts for Triple-A Rochester.
Hendriks was signed by the Twins as an international free agent in 2007, and will be the third Australian-born Oriole in club history (John Stephens in 2002 and Damian Moss in 2003) when he makes his Major League debut. Over six seasons in the Twins minor league system, Hendriks went 42-28 with a 2.99 ERA in 100 games (98 starts).
Marshall, 23, made his MLB debut last season in three relief appearances over two stints with the Yankees, posting a 4.50 ERA (six earned runs in 12 innings). He spent most of last season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, going 7-10 with a 5.13 ERA in 25 starts. He struck out 120 and walked 68.
Marshall was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Dec. 19. After the season, he was considered the Yankees' sixth-best prospect by Baseball America.

Chien-Ming Wang to sign with Reds
The comeback continues for Chien-Ming Wang who continues to try to make it back in the big leagues to stay after a few failed attempts over the last couple years. He has reportedly signed with the Reds on a minor league contract that includes an invite to Spring Training.
If he makes the Major League roster, Wang would earn $1.25 million, and he could make as much as $3 million if he reaches all the incentives in the deal.
The 33-year-old won 19 games in both 2006 and 2007 for the Yankees, but hasn't been the same since shoulder surgery in 2009. He missed the 2010 season, then appeared in 21 games (16 starts) for the Nationals from 2011-12 before becoming a free agent.
He pitched well in last year's World Baseball Classic, which likely earned him a contract with the Yankees, but he never reached the big leagues with New York. He signed with Toronto and turned in two strong outings mixed in with four dismal ones. He finished the 2013 season with a 7.67 ERA in 27 innings of work.

12/17 Roundup
The pool of potential closers available on the free-agent market shrank on Tuesday, when the Hot Stove was focused on relief pitching.
The Orioles were on the hunt for a closer after trading Jim Johnson to the A's earlier this offseason, and they now appear set to use some of the savings from that deal on Oakland's former closer. Grant Balfour, who saved 38 games for the A's in 2013, reportedly is in agreement on a two-year contract with Baltimore.
The Cubs also might have snatched up a new ninth-inning man after reaching a reported one-year pact with Jose Veras. That would leave Fernando Rodney, Joaquin Benoit, Rafael Betancourt and Chris Perez among a dwindling group of free agents with recent success as closers. The Padres appear to be targeting Benoit for an eighth-inning role in front of Huston Street.
In other news from around the league:
- Highly touted Japanese right-hander Masahiro Tanaka has informed his Nippon Professional Baseball club, the Rakuten Golden Eagles, that he wants to be made available to Major League teams. But even with NPB and MLB having a new posting agreement in place, the Eagles do not have to post Tanaka, and it appears they might be reluctant to do so.
- One club that figures to pursue Tanaka if he becomes available is Arizona, which is looking to add more starting pitching this offseason.
- The Yankees are close to signing a pair of veteran players, reportedly reaching an agreement on a one-year deal with second baseman Brian Roberts and a two-year contract with left-handed reliever Matt Thornton. Meanwhile, New York still would like to add free agent Mark Reynolds but is facing competition from the Angels and Twins, among others, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com and MLB Network. Jeff Baker is another veteran bat drawing interest from the club, per the New York Post's Joel Sherman.
- The Braves' search for additional starting pitching likely concluded with Monday's signing of Gavin Floyd to a one-year contract, despite the fact that the righty won't be ready until May as he rehabs from Tommy John surgery. Atlanta had explored trades for the likes of the Rays' David Price and the Cubs' Jeff Samardzija but found the asking prices too steep.
- Our Tom Singer checks in on free-agent righty A.J. Burnett, who has yet to make a decision about whether to retire, return to the Pirates or perhaps pitch for another team. It's a delay that is making things difficult for Pittsburgh general manager Neal Huntington.
- After losing out on Juan Uribe, the Marlins continue to search for a third baseman. The club is looking at both free agents and trade possibilities.
- The Mets' top priority is to trade one of its first basemen, Ike Davis or Lucas Duda. The Brewers and Pirates are the two remaining clubs that seem like obvious trade partners for such a deal. Pittsburgh is interested in both Davis and the Rangers' Mitch Moreland, according to Heyman.
- The Cardinals' recent signing of free-agent second baseman Mark Ellis likely will turn out to be their last significant move of the offseason, as GM John Mozeliak acknowledged on Tuesday.
- On the other hand, Astros GM Jeff Luhnow said his club still is looking hard at free agents, with the bullpen one area to address. Houston already has signed relievers Chad Qualls and Matt Albers.

12/16 Roundup
The most significant Hot Stove news to break on Monday likely wasn't a trade or a signing. Instead, it might have been Major League Baseball's announcement that it had agreed with Nippon Professional Baseball on revised protocols for the leagues' posting system.
The agreement allows NPB's Rakuten Golden Eagles to post right-hander Masahiro Tanaka this offseason, a move that likely would make him the most sought-after pitcher on the market. While Rakuten would not have to let Tanaka go, owner Hiroshi Mikitani will allow him to leave, reports the Los Angeles Times' Dylan Hernandez, relaying the news from the Japanese website Sanspo.
In other news from around the league:
- The D-backs, one of many teams that could go after Tanaka, made a move for another pitcher, trading third-base prospect Matt Davidson to the White Sox for closer Addison Reed. While Davidson was ranked as Arizona's No. 2 prospect by MLB.com, Reed saved 40 games for Chicago last season. Meanwhile, D-backs general manager Kevin Towers is hoping to work out a contract with veteran third baseman Eric Chavez, tweets our Steve Gilbert.
- The Dodgers are closing in on a two-year deal to re-sign left-handed reliever J.P. Howell, a source tells our Ken Gurnick. Howell would make $11.25 million, with a $6.25 million vesting option for 2016.
- The Braves signed free-agent right-hander Gavin Floyd to a one-year contract, taking a chance on a pitcher still recovering from Tommy John surgery.
- The Indians also will give a shot to a veteran pitcher coming off injury, after agreeing to a Minor League deal with righty Shaun Marcum.
- The Astros added another piece to their bullpen, signing Matt Albers to a one-year contract.
- The Yankees are considering veteran free-agent infielders Mark Reynolds, Michael Young and Brian Roberts, tweets Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com and MLB Network.
- The Phillies have let other teams know they are "very willing" to trade shortstop Jimmy Rollins, according to ESPN's Buster Olney, but Rollins has a no-trade clause and will make $11 million this season, with an $11 million vesting option for 2015.

12/14 Roundup
The Mariners have been one of the most aggressive teams this offseason, signing Robinson Cano to a massive contract, then adding two more power bats at this week's Winter Meetings, in Corey Hart and Logan Morrison.
But there still could be more moves on the horizon, and one in particular makes a lot of sense, writes our Richard Justice. He believes Seattle should beef up its offense further by adding free-agent Nelson Cruz.
In other news from around the league on Saturday:
- The Dodgers have filled the most significant hole in their lineup, agreeing to a two-year deal with free-agent third baseman Juan Uribe.
- The Marlins also held some interest in Uribe, so his signing leaves them looking at other options at third base, writes our Joe Frisaro.
- The Twins signed their third starting pitcher so far this offseason, agreeing to bring back righty Mike Pelfrey on a two-year deal. Minnesota, still looking to add another arm, is unlikely to sign Matt Garza but is open to Bronson Arroyo, according to a tweet from Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com and MLB Network.
- The Mets announced their two-year deal with Bartolo Colon, officially adding the 40-year-old to their starting rotation.
- The Braves could be close to signing free-agent right-hander Gavin Floyd, according to a report from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Floyd, coming off Tommy John surgery, is expected to return to action in May.
- With free-agent second baseman Omar Infante set to sign with the Royals, the Yankees' interest in a trade for the Cubs' Darwin Barney "may pick up," according to a tweet from Bruce Levine of Chicago's WSRC-AM and 670thescore.com. The teams held earlier talks about Barney, Levine writes.
- The Royals signed three players, including reliever Cory Wade, to Minor League deals.
— Andrew Simon
12/13 Roundup
Baseball's Winter Meetings ended on Thursday, but that doesn't mean the Hot Stove came to a halt on Friday.
Even with general managers, agents and media members gone from Lake Buena Vista, Fla., the action continued, and the free-agent market continued to grow thinner. A pair of players reportedly agreed to new contracts, with first baseman James Loney set to return to the Rays on a three-year deal and second baseman Omar Infante heading to Kansas City on a four-year agreement.
In other news from around the league:
- The Yankees introduced new center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, making his seven-year, $153 million contract official.
- Former Yankee Robinson Cano saw two pieces of lineup protection added to his new club, as the Mariners held an introductory press conference for Corey Hart and Logan Morrison. Those additions do not signal the end of Seattle's offseason shopping, however.
- The Rockies finalized their two-year agreement with first baseman Justin Morneau and also have reportedly signed lefty reliever Boone Logan to a three-year pact.
- The Red Sox made their two-year deal with Mike Napoli official. Teammate David Ortiz, whose contract with the Red Sox expires after the 2014 season, is looking for a one-year extension.
- The Pirates announced a pair of one-year contracts, re-signing shortstop Clint Barmes and adding right-hander Edinson Volquez.
- The Tigers announced their one-year agreement with reliever Joba Chamberlain.
- Our Paul Hagen runs down the top names still available after the Winter Meetings.
- With free-agent options dwindling, the Brewers could turn to the trade market to fill their need for a first baseman, our Adam McCalvy writes.
- Might the Braves really trade stud closer Craig Kimbrel? Our Mark Bowman tackles that question in his latest inbox article.
- Outfielder Jason Kubel, coming off a rough 2012 with the D-backs and Indians, is returning to the Twins after signing a Minor League deal with an invitation to Major League Spring Training.
- The D-backs signed right-hander Daniel Hudson and catcher Henry Blanco to Minor League deals with Spring Training invites. Hudson, who hasn't pitched since early '12 due to injury, was non-tendered earlier this month.
- The Marlins continue to have interest in free-agent third baseman Juan Uribe, writes our Joe Frisaro.

Tigers working to sign reliever Joba Chamberlain
The Tigers are adding to their bullpen by working on a deal with right-hander Joba Chamberlain, multiple news outlets have reported on Thursday. FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal had the news first.
MLB.com's Jason Beck has confirmed that it's a one-year deal.
The injury-prone and inconsistent fireballer has undisputed talent, but it's a question of whether the Tigers can harness the 28-year-old's gifts and turn him into an effective back-end bullpen piece.
He was strong in 2011, posting a 2.83 ERA in 27 appearances for the Yankees before undergoing Tommy John Surgery in June of that year, but his ERA inflated to 4.35 in 2012 and 4.93 in 2013.

12/7 Roundup
With Friday's flurry of big moves in the rearview mirror and the baseball world gearing up for the start of the Winter Meetings on Monday, the Hot Stove took a bit of a break on Saturday.
Here is a look at the latest news from around the league:
- The Yankees reached official agreements with two free agents, announcing their seven-year contract with outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, as well as re-signing starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda for one year.
After reportedly agreeing to a three-year deal with Carlos Beltran on Friday, the Yankees could be open to dealing from their outfield depth and are "receiving significant interest" in Brett Gardner, according to Andy McCullough of The Star Ledger.
Elsewhere in the American League East, the Red Sox announced their two-year deal with reliever Edward Mujica. Boston general manager Ben Cherington said that while he will continue to look for upgrades, the Sox likely are finished with their "heavy lifting." On the other hand, Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp is "in play" for the Red Sox, according to The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo.
Dodgers GM Ned Colletti confirmed that he is open to trading an outfielder, since the club has Kemp, Andre Ethier, Carl Crawford and Yasiel Puig.
Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez, who could be in line for a contract extension this offseason, played a little joke via social media.
Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com and MLB Network lists the Dodgers, D-backs, Rangers and Mariners as the teams in the best position to make a trade for Rays ace left-hander David Price at the Winter Meetings. Among the other players Rosenthal believes could be moved this week in Orlando, Fla., are A's starting pitcher Brett Anderson, Angels second baseman Howie Kendrick, Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon, Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija and Orioles catcher Matt Wieters.
The Astros bolstered their bullpen by bringing in right-hander Chad Qualls on a two-year deal.
During a question-and-answer session with fans at the second day of Redsfest, Cincinnati GM Walt Jocketty said it will be "very difficult" to re-sign free-agent outfielder Shin-Soo Choo and also downplayed trade rumors about second baseman Brandon Phillips.
With Beltran heading to the Yankees, the Royals will have to look elsewhere to add an impact bat this offseason. Another club that lost out on Beltran, the D-backs, could target the Angels' Mark Trumbo instead, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
The Marlins could be looking to looking to trade for Rays utility man Sean Rodriguez as they aim to find a solution at third base. Our Joe Frisaro also explains why the Marlins are likely to trade first baseman-outfielder Logan Morrison.
The Orioles added an outfielder, signing Francisco Peguero, who had been designated for assignment and then non-tendered by the Giants. Peguero had been MLB.com's No. 98 overall prospect going into last season.

The tax evasion and embezzlement trial of former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko was adjourned on Monday until Nov. 13 because poor health meant she could not attend.
Tymoshenko, 51, the main political opponent of President Viktor Yanukovich, is already serving a seven-year sentence on a separate abuse-of-office charge linked to a gas deal she brokered withRussia in 2009 as prime minister.
Her trial in the city of Kharkiv on tax evasion and embezzlement charges going back to the 1990s has been put off several times as she refused to attend because of back trouble for which she is receiving treatment in a state-run hospital.
A guilty verdict would keep Tymoshenko behind bars even if the European Court of Human Rightsoverturns her first conviction after the Ukraine high court rejected her appeal.
Tymoshenko has dismissed all charges against her as politically motivated.
"The court has ruled that it is impossible to hear the case in the absence of Tymoshenko and her lawyer," Judge Kostyantyn Sadovsky told the court in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
The European Union has supported Tymoshenko, calling her case an example of selective justice and shelving agreements on free trade and political association with Ukraine over the issue.
The West has also said her imprisonment could affect foreign observers' assessment of a parliamentary election on Oct. 28 in which Yanukovich's Party of the Region seeks to retain a majority.
Tymoshenko led the 2004 Orange Revolution protests that derailed Yanukovich's first bid for the presidency, and has since served twice as prime minister.
Yanukovich, who beat her in a close run-off to become president in February 2010, has refused to intervene in Tymoshenko's case despite being urged to do so by the West.

The National Center for Mental Health is dedicated to delivering preventive, curative and rehabilitative mental health care services.It is categorized as Special Research Training Center and Hospital under Department of Health on January 30, 1987. It has an authorized bed capacity of 4,200 inpatients and served an average of 56,000 outpatients per year.
NCMH was established in 1925 through Public Works Act 3258. It was formally opened on December 17, 1928 and was originally called the INSULAR PSYCHOPATIC HOSPITAL. It was later called the National Mental Hospital. On November 12, 1986, it was renamed NATIONAL CENTER FOR MENTAL HEALTH (NCMH) through Memorandum Circular No. 48 issued by the Office of the President.
NCMH was classified as Special Research training Center and Hospital under the Department of Health on January 30, 1987. It is licensed by the DOH and is accredited by Philhealth (Tertiary, training/teaching hospital). The leading mental health care facility in the country, NCMH provides a comprehensive range of preventive, curative and rehabilitative mental health services. It has an authorized bed capacity of 4,200 patients and a daily inpatient average of 3,000 patients. It serves an average of 56,0000 outpatients per year.
Most of NCMH's patients are from Metro Manila and nearby provinces in Region III and IV. As a national resource, NCMH also caters to patinets from other regions of the country, especially forensic cases referred by the courts of law. Treatment of about 87% of inpatients belonging to classess C and D are subsidized by NCMH.
In 1925, when the insane "Insane Department" of the San Lazaro Hospital and the City Sanitarium could no longer cope with the number of mental patients, the government decided to establish a hospital exclusively for the treatment of patients suffering of mental and nervous diseases. Under Public Works Act 3258, the sum of P180, 000.00 was set aside for an "insane asylum" to be established in accordance with a plan to be approved by a committee composed of the Secretary of Finance, the Director of Public Works; the Director of Health, and the Public Welfare Commissioner, as members with the last also acting as he Secretary of the Committee.
The committee chose a site with an area of about 64-hectare in Barrio Mauway, Mandaluyong, Rizal, an elevated piece of land that had a commanding view of the City of Manila and surrounding areas. The place is about 11 kilometers from downtown Manila. The place was then quite isolated with practically no houses around except a few huts used by farmers tilling the land around the hospital. Its location away from the community was evidently influenced by the prevailing concept at the time that hospitals from the insane should be isolated from the center of population.
On December 17, 1928, a total of 379 patients that used to crowd the Insane Department of the San Lazaro Hospital were transferred to the new hospital. That day marked the formal opening of the Insular Psychopathic Hospital, later called the National Mental Hospital. From that day on, there was an unabated increase of number of patients. When the bed capacity was increased from 800 to 1930, the actual number of patients was 836. Two large pavilions were constructed to increase bed capacity to 1,600. By the time it was ready for occupancy in 1935, the hospital had 1,646 patients. This was the year when the city of Manila closed its City Sanitarium and compounded the problem of the mental hospital with the accommodation of all the patients from the Sanitarium.

To the families, friends and comrades of the missing Normalista students of Ayotzinapa and the comrades that support the Sixth Declaration of the Lacandona Jungle
We support your actions against those responsible for the murders and disappearances, and your demand that the 43 missing Normalistas students get back alive.
The Red and black coordination supports the individuals and organisations that fight against repression, in favor of solidarity in Mexico as well as in the rest of the world.
As anarcho-syndicalists and revolutionary syndicalists we declare that no state or repressive system can break our spirit. We are millions who fight for direct democracy and social justice, who are ready to render mutual aid in order to resist and move forward.
We are not going to rest until we bring down not the people but the capitalist system.
The were taken alive and alive we want them back!
Since long time the Kurdish people are fighting for the right to their own language, land, tradition and for the right to self-determination, against various powerful enemies.
Now they are facing aggressive enemies that have taken the war to their territory and try to take the town of Kobané by the Turkish border. The resistance of the Kurds is being impressive and shows a great courage and determination. The fight is not only about staying alive, it is also about defending the revolution going on in the 3 areas of Rojava, and the future of this people on the basis of interethnic inter-religious and inter-linguistic solidarity.
Apart from Kurdish forces other subjects resist in Kobané. In that sense this struggle concerns the RBC, a network of libertarian unions that aims to coordinate and promote the unity of the workers in their struggle for their rights and freedom.
The RBC wishes to send its solidarity to the people that resist in Kobané and to call for international solidarity actions.
People united will never be defeated!!!.

This holiday season, Xbox 360 owners can snag Serious Sam games and their DLC off Xbox LIVE Arcade for half-price. None of that "up to 50% off" nonsense either; all Serious Sam content on XBLA will be marked down 50% during the holiday season.
What this specifically covers is Serious Sam 3: BFE, Serious Sam 3: Jewel of the Nile, Serious Sam HD: First Encounter, and Second Encounter. Overall, not a bad deal, especially if you happen to enjoy the series.
If you're not already convinced, we do have a pretty magical trailer that'll properly sell the game(s) to non-believers. Kind of. I mean, if you've got small children in the room, you may want to consider shielding their eyes for this.
Serious Sam XBLA trailer - YouTube
What a lovely holiday message. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

NO Volume. Period.
Just in case your not briight enough to figure out how to do that I'll post it for you.NYSE declines 71%AMEX declines 72%NASDAQ 63%VolumeNYSE declining 71%AMEX " 86%NASDQ " 78%SGI down 0.67%volume 50k
Actually,.......a more accurate representation of the performance of this stock can be shown if you look at it over a longer period of time. From 4 years ago this stock has dropped from $40 to $7, or 82.5%. This is far in excess of the broader market drop, whether you measure it against the DOW, Nasdaq or any other index.The fact is there is NO institutional support of thie company to speak of. Several years ago the volume/level-of-interest was in the almost 1m shares per day range.This management team has simply not delivered. The prior management team pumped the stock in the 4th qtr of '07 when discussions were under way with Dell. They stuffed the channels, sold millions in options (look at what the VP Sales and President sold during that qtr), then reported an enormous miss the subsequent quarter and the stock tanked. They were subsequently fired. Unfortunately......shareholders are still holding the bag on this one. The CEO is a total incompetent. This is well known in the 'Valley. We all deserve a better management team. All we get at earnings releases are GAAP / Non-GAAP BS.
Lucky thing. If it were trading like most markets you'd see the crap knocked out of it.How about telling the folks that the advance decline numbers show for the NASDAQ and NYSE so far today and see if it's SGI alone or the world markets under pressure
