|Trade deadline roundup: Reds OF Jay Bruce appears likely to be traded; Brewers C Jonathan Lucroy remains on market
|08.01.16 at 9:57 am ET
Here are some of the top rumors around MLB as Monday afternoon's trade deadline approaches.
— It looks like Reds outfielder Jay Bruce will be moved before the deadline. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Reds have made an agreement with a National League team to trade the three-time All-Star. The Giants and Mets seem to be the top teams making a push for Bruce, with the Indians, Dodgers and Rangers showing interest as well. Nightengale, however, says the Dodgers are not the team that the Reds have an agreement with.
The Cincinnati #Reds have found a match, and expected to trade All-Star OF Jay Bruce to an NL team this morning. No, it's not the #Dodgers
— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) August 1, 2016
Bruce, 29, has spent all nine of his major league seasons with the Reds. He is slashing .265/.316/.559 in 97 games this season.
— Besides pushing for Bruce, the Giants also have expressed interest in Tampa Bay pitcher Matt Moore, according to several reports. Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports indicated that it is unknown whether San Francisco has the right prospects to make a deal. Moore, 27, is 7-7 with a 4.08 ERA in 21 starts.
Sources: #SFGiants pursuing #Rays' Matt Moore, viewing him as controllable LHP to go with Bumgarner. Might not have prospects to get him.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) August 1, 2016
— After vetoing a trade to the Indians, Brewers All-Star catcher Jonathan Lucroy remains on the market. He likely will be traded before the deadline, most probably to the Rangers, according to Rosenthal. Texas infielder Joey Gallo could be part of a package to acquire Lucroy, who is batting .299 with the Brewers.
|After surviving Tommy John twice, Chris Capuano excited about 'coming home' to Red Sox
|02.22.14 at 3:55 pm ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. — For someone who has survived two Tommy John surgeries and the disappointment of being passed over by his hometown team in high school, lefty Chris Capuano finally got to put on a Red Sox uniform Saturday and talk about the real chance he'll be on the club to start the 2014 season.
"I just hope to be a positive part of the clubhouse," Capuano said. "It's already great clubhouse dynamic with the kind of professionals they have in there. These guys, the way they go about their business and they're so focused. I just want to add to that and hopefully be a positive part."
Capuano starred both athletically and academically at Cathedral High School in West Springfield, where he was the valedictorian. He played in high school all-star game at Fenway but that remains the only time he has ever pitched on the hallowed ground.
"I played in this Massachusetts-Connecticut all-star game at Fenway," he recalled Saturday. "I thought I did well. I ended up getting drafted by the Pirates in the late rounds out of high school but not enough to not make me want to go to Duke and get my education. I didn't have a lot of contact with the Red Sox out of high school."
Capuano, 35, signed a major league deal this week for a reported $2.25 million, with incentives that could make it worth as much as $5 million. John Farrell sees Capuano as a lefty who could throw an inning out of the bullpen in long relief or face a single batter, lefty or righty.
"I think with my repertoire, four-seam, two-seam fastballs, my changeup is one of my better offspeed pitches, which has a little down and a away movement to righties," Capuano said. "I think as a lefty that enables me to feel comfortable to pitch to righthanders as well."
Capuano was a free agent after the Dodgers chose not to bring him back. But he left no doubt Saturday in speaking to reporters where his first choice would be.
|John Farrell notes on Day 5 of spring training: Chris Capuano provides pitching flexibility
|02.21.14 at 2:42 pm ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Chris Capuano can start making his case Saturday for a role on the Red Sox pitching staff.
What exactly that role will be is far from certain, as Red Sox manager John Farrell made clear Friday after the second day of full-squad workouts.
"We don't want to limit it," Farrell said of Capuano's versatility. "When he switched to the bullpen last year with the Dodgers there was very good performance, and that's the one thing that attracted us to him, in addition to the experience as a starter.
"We don't anticipate once he joins us that it would be too long before he jumps into the rotation of work here."
Farrell added that Capuano has been throwing regular bullpen sessions in preparation for spring training, conditioning that made the 35-year-old lefty native of West Springfield, Mass. very attractive to the Red Sox. Farrell said Capuano is expected to join the team Saturday for workouts, despite the fact the team had yet (as of Farrell's media session) to officially announcing his signing.
"By all accounts he's traveling here and will join camp," Farrell said after Friday's workouts.
The team has reportedly agreed to a major league deal with the veteran for $2.25 million, pending a physical. He has spent the first nine seasons of his big league career in the National League, including the last two with the Dodgers.
"Experience of both starting and pitching out of the bullpen," Farrell said of Capuano, who was 4-7 with a 4.26 ERA in 20 starts last season with the Dodgers. "He clearly gives us a depth starter if that need were to arise, but at the moment, all things considered, he would pitch out of the bullpen for us."
The Red Sox had success last year stretching out Brandon Workman during the season to make several spot starts. He figures to be in the mix again for that same role should the need arise, along with righthander Allen Webster, who started seven games for the Red Sox in 2013.
If Capuano begins the season in relief, the Red Sox will have three southpaws in the bullpen, with Craig Breslow and Andrew Miller.
|Hot Stove: RHP Zack Greinke meets with Dodgers
|11.30.12 at 11:20 am ET
Dodgers executives met with right-handed pitcher Zack Greinke in Los Angeles Thursday, Yahoo! Sports' Tim Brown reports.
Greinke, 29, was 15-5 with a 3.48 ERA last season. He played for the Brewers until July 27, when he was traded to the Angels. With the Angels, Greinke was 6-2 in 13 starts with a 3.53 ERA. Over the past two seasons, he is 31-11 with a 3.63 ERA.
Greinke's best year by far was in 2005 with the Royals. He won the AL Cy Young and was named an All-Star. That season he had 16 wins with an amazingly low 2.16 ERA.
Brown reports that the Rangers, Nationals and Angels also have interest in Greinke. Greinke reportedly has enjoyed his time in the Los Angeles area and might want to stay in the region, but he could opt for the Dodgers.
|James Loney: 'I know they're always trying to build a championship team here'
|08.26.12 at 2:58 pm ET
James Loney knows full well what he's getting into.
The 28-year-old veteran first baseman arrived in Boston Sunday as the only major league-ready player to come from the Dodgers in exchange for Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Nick Punto. He knows what kind of year it's been in Boston.
'I knew a bunch of those guys that got traded," Loney said in the Sunday press conference before going out and making his Red Sox debut at first base. "I know a bunch of guys here still but I know they're always trying to build a championship team here. I know it didn't work out and this year I guess there were some things going on.'
He's heard all about playing in the intense baseball market of Boston from the outside. Now, he gets to experience it first hand.
'I've heard that," Loney said. "You hear that. I think a lot of big-market, big city teams are like that. You don't think about it when you're out there. You just go out and play.' Read the rest of this entry »
|Red Sox, Dodgers appear close to blockbuster sending Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett and Carl Crawford to LA for prospects
|08.25.12 at 7:38 am ET
The incentive for the Red Sox to steam forward in a sweeping roster overhaul — a potential blockbuster sending first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, right-hander Josh Beckett and outfielder Carl Crawford along with utility infielder Nick Punto to the Dodgers in exchange for first baseman James Loney and multiple prospects — is fairly evident. While a major league source said that a deal is not expected on Friday night, it does appear to be gaining momentum to the point where the two teams have exchanged medical records to review as a prelude to a potential deal, whose logic makes all the sense in the world for a Red Sox team that has fallen out of contention.
It's no secret: In a 12-month span from Dec. 2009 to Dec. 2010, the Red Sox made a series of calculated, high-risk gambles meant to secure a championship core for the long haul, only to see their bets blow up in spectacular fashion. It started in Dec. 2009, when the team signed John Lackey to a five-year, $82.5 million deal through 2014. That was followed by a four-year, $68 million extension in April 2010 that secured the services of Josh Beckett through 2014. The following offseason, after the Sox missed the playoffs, the team traded for first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and agreed to the parameters of a seven-year, $154 million extension (on top of his $6.3 million salary in 2011) that would keep him in Boston through 2018. And, finally, the Sox signed free agent Carl Crawford to a seven-year, $142 million contract at the Dec. 2010 winter meetings, with the deal running from 2011-17.
For a time, it appeared that the Sox had set themselves up for the long haul. But when the team fell apart last September, missing the playoffs by a game — following a 2011 season in which Crawford and Lackey (who required Tommy John surgery) had performed poorly, and in which Beckett had been viewed as a central culprit in a clubhouse that fell apart, those deals started to look ominous, particularly given all that followed in 2012.
The Sox had little to no flexibility to pursue roster upgrades last offeason, at least in the absence of deals to move salary (such as the one that sent Marco Scutaro to the Rockies so that the team would have money to sign Cody Ross). And so, at a time when pitchers such as Hiroki Kuroda, Edwin Jackson and Roy Oswalt were there for the taking on appealing one-year deals, the Sox did not have the available cash reserves within their payroll to make competitive bids for them.

|Trade Deadline: Dodgers said to be interested in Brewers 3B Aramis Ramirez
|07.23.12 at 10:10 am ET
After three straight losses over the weekend pushed them 10½ games off the pace in the NL Central, the Brewers are likely to be sellers as the trade deadline approaches.
With rumors already circling about Zack Greinke and Francisco Rodriguez being trade bait, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that third baseman Aramis Ramirez is entering the discussion as well.
Ramirez is said to have drawn considerable attention from the Dodgers, who would like an upgrade over Juan Uribe. Hardicourt says trading Ramirez, who is in the first of a three-year, $36 million deal, would be a surprise because the Brewers have no obvious candidate to replace him.
The 34-year-old is hitting .277 with 10 home runs and 55 RBIs and is second in the NL with 31 doubles, trailing only Joey Votto (36). Ramirez doesn't have no-trade protection in his contract.
|Trade Deadline: Yankees reportedly sign ex-Dodger Marcus Thames
|07.22.11 at 10:33 am ET
The Yankees signed former Dodgers outfielder Marcus Thames to a minor league deal, the New York Post's George A. King III reported Friday.
Thames was designated for assignment after 36 games with the Dodgers in which he hit just .197 with two home runs and seven RBIs. Thames enjoyed one of the best seasons of his career in 2010 with the Yankees, batting a career-best .288 with a .350 OPS, also a career best. He hit 12 home runs and drove in 33.
The 34-year-old righty hitter brings versatility to the Yankees, having played left field, right field, first base and DH in his career.
King wrote that Thames will work at the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa, then be assigned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
|Trade Deadline: Red Sox interested in Dodgers' Hiroki Kuroda, but he won't play for East Coast team
|07.17.11 at 8:15 pm ET
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal said in a video Saturday that the Red Sox may be looking for pitching rotation help from the Dodgers' Hiroki Kuroda. However, after speaking with two East Coast team executives, MLB.com's Peter Gammons wrote Sunday that Kuroda would not waive his full no-trade clause to play for an East Coast team.
A 36-year-old right-handed pitcher from Japan, Kuroda is 6-11 with a 3.13 ERA this year with the Dodgers. He has held opponent batters to a .249 average and .298 OBP.
Kuroda has played in only three games ever against the American League, going 1-2 with a .306 ERA. He has never faced an AL East team or played at an AL East park.
|Report: Sox expressed interest in Kuroda
|07.15.11 at 3:18 pm ET
According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, the Red Sox "have called on" Dodgers starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda, suggesting that while the Sox are confident in their depth even in the face of injuries to Daisuke Matsuzaka, Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz and Josh Beckett, the team is exploring potential alternatives.
Kuroda is 6-10 with a 3.06 ERA this year in 18 starts for the Dodgers. The right-hander is in his fourth season with L.A., compiling a 34-40 record, 3.50 ERA and 6.5 strikeouts against 2.1 walks per nine innings in his career.
Kuroda is pitching for the Dodgers on a one-year, $12 million deal he signed last offseason. That deal also includes a no-trade clause, and according to FoxSports.com, the right-hander will require some sort of compensation to waive the clause.

text: A man involved in a hunting accident in Chester that caused his friend to lose an eye is going to jail for 30 days.29-year-old Joel Susen pleaded no contest to assault while hunting.He did so in a courtroom in Bangor packed with family, friends and church members who argued Susen shouldn't have to serve any time. "Ever since it happened, I've thought about it every day, almost hourly."Joel Susen says he'll live with the guilt and shame of shooting his friend in the face during a turkey hunting accident last May for the rest of his life. Susen told authorities he thought 30-year-old Adam Jewell was signaling him to shoot a bird while they were in the woods in Chester. Jewell lost his right eye and still has shrapnel in his body. Kim Susen, Joel's wife, said in court, "For Joel to know that he can't ever give Adam his eye back has been one of the cruelest realities we face. Words cannot ever begin to adequately express Joel's remorse or brokenness over this complete nightmare."Susen's lawyer, Don Brown, argued for no jail time for his client."I struggle to understand how a jail sentence can deter something that's classified as an accident and this clearly was an accident. Adam Jewell is hurt seriously and that's something Joel and Adam will have to live with forever."Jewell wasn't in court but in a statement said he's not sure people truly understood how close to death he came and that it was a miracle that saved him. Jewell didn't believe Susen should get away without time in jail – and neither did prosecutors or the Maine Warden Service. Penobscot County Assistant District Attorney Maggie Gray said, "What we tried to accomplish here is sending a message with that the public can feel free to walk outside and bird hunt, look at birds, talk a walk, whatever and know that they're going to be safe. That hunters out there are going to identify their targets before they fire."Captain Dan Scott with the Maine Warden Service said, "There's really no victories or winners here. But we do need to hold people accountable when they are negligent. And it can't be acceptable to go hunting and shoot somebody."Susen was also ordered to serve 40 hours of community service, speaking to groups and organizations about hunting safety.He said, "I just beg and pray that everyone who's been affected by this, especially Adam, could one day find it in their heart to forgive me."

Back in his Culture Club days, Mr George was the eyeshadowed tortured pop king. Now, he's king of glam happy handbag house and has headlined Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, Cream... you name it, he's played there.
2. Norman Cook
From The Housemartins, sporting a dodgy quiff, through brief notoriety with Beats International, the Fatboy is now Britain's most recognisable DJ. That has nothing to do with his other half - it's his music that counts.

A true 1980s icon with pint-sized pixie features and a chart hit that still rouses karaoke excitement. He's now throwing bootlegs and beats together, and recently played Pearl Necklace at Redstar.
4. Howard Donald
Poor Take That's Howard: no one fancied him, his dancing was erratic and his hair should have been banned. Maybe he became a DJ to earn some cool points. But appearing on a documentary about Faliraki really doesn't do the image much good now, does it?
5. Mr C
Ex-frontman for post-rave chart crossover group The Shamen, Mr C is now a producer, remixer, DJ and co-owner of The End. Not bad for a man whose CV should include shouting very loudly to crass songs and the ability to grimace even when happy.Reuse content

Chapter 12 - Part 1
When all of them had gathered together the few possessions they had brought, they paid Rupert for his services. This was a process, a ceremony, that Rupert did not wish to go through; although they had, in the length of their stay, brought a lion into the establishment, be it tame or not, burnt one of his chairs and had worn down his low wine supply, he had grown fond of seeing them, of watching them speak together on matters he could not understand, but nevertheless sounded very important.
They had lined up behind the counter, placing all that they owed to him upon it, with Rupert saying his thanks to each of them in turn. By the time Aveyna had dropped her coins upon the counter, and nodded deeply in thanks, Rupert's little green eyes had begun to glaze over. As they waved, saying their thanks for the last time before opening the door, Rupert waved back, managing to make one exclamation before the door was shut,
"Please, do consider The Overfilled Flagon again!" As the door closed, Aranaytha produced a map, much smaller than Aveyna's, and traced her finger southwards from Thornhurst, then past Goldhollow, then through the town of Westbridge, until moving her finger eastwards, past the Shadow Caves, to the town of Raiholt. Looking up to scan the landscape in search of the south road, she found that Aveyna was there, already pointing out the way with her pale, outstretched arm. Rolling up her map, she replaced it to the bag at her side, as it hung gracefully from her shoulder, before she took it off, and wound up the fasteners over the belt at her waist, so that it became easier to carry her shield in case of an attack. Having done this, she walked, with the others, to meet with Aveyna.
"Are we all ready?" Aveyna asked, as the sunlight, caught in the trees behind her, glowed in a manner that made Aveyna appear almost seraphic. The others nodded, and Aveyna smiled, which only succeeded in making seem even more angelic. Then, they turned to face the south road, the same road that Alceren had taken that morning. Alyxandra smiled, touching the amulet gently with her fingertips as they began to walk. She wondered inwardly about his safety, then smiled, remembering his words. I simply have faith, she thought, reminding herself inwardly of his words and, feeling a little strengthened by it, began to walk a little faster, so that she walked by Aveyna's side, at the front of the group.
She looked back and found Aranaytha and Yvellen walking behind her, while Telthar'rion remained further back, his staff clutched in his right hand and a thoughtful expression on his face. As they walked along the road, their route lined with countless trees, a rich green in the early summer, the gentle sound of their booted footsteps reminding them of any notion of time and, with the understated breeze in the trees, was the only sound, the elves themselves saying nothing for a long time. Presently, Alyxandra turned back to Aranaytha, asking,
"How far should we expect to travel for until we reach Goldh-?" She was broken off by a glare from Aranaytha, which at first she attributed to the nature of the question, but then realised that she did not wish to remind Yvellen that they were passing by there, as passing through the deserted, burnt-out shell of the place he had once called home could prove to be an emotional time for him, and this was something that Alyxandra especially understood. Thankfully at that moment, Yvellen seemed preoccupied in prising Luan's attention from a passing butterfly; he sat on his hocks, staring up at the colourful wings on the flitting creature, and reaching up at erratic intervals to grab the butterfly in his paws. Yvellen, thinking quickly, reached into his bag and withdrew a piece of fish, that had been wrapped up in a handkerchief and had been beginning to exude a rather notable fragrance.
"Ah, so that scent was not you," Aranaytha said, laughing as she did so; Yvellen scowled, as she continued, "my mistake!" Luan was fortunately interested in the fish, and approached, before he was given his due reward, and ate it happily, purring.
"You see, it's the little things that count with lions," Yvellen said knowingly, "they are the ways in which you earn their trust and form your bond." Alyxandra and Aranaytha smiled, the friendship between man and lion now obvious as Yvellen stroked Luan's head, with the large, golden cat responding by rolling over onto his back, purring happily, his eyes closed in a look of contentment.

Following the scent...
He made a decision – 'twas made in a snap,
Though 'twould have been easier taking a nap.
I cannot procrastinate further, he thought,
I'll follow the badgel, and risk getting caught.
Too long have I tarried and wasted my time.
There are people around who invest in this rhyme;
They're getting impatient, and starting to scatter.
How Dave knew all this I'm not sure, but, no matter…
He jumped from the loft, almost twisting his ankle.
These constant mishaps were beginning to rankle.
In the wake of the badgel he followed the path,
I'll just follow the smell – it's in need of a bath!
So, Dave, holding his nose to diminish the stench -
For a lone unwashed badgel's scent makes ones guts clench -
Tracked one smelly badgel, with nary a sound
But halfway through the tunnel the creature turned round!

Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) posted net income of $5.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2013, increasing 10% from a year earlier and coming ahead of estimates. Per-share earnings after the payment of preferred dividends rose to $1 versus 91 cents a year earlier while revenue declined 5.8% to $20.67 billion. The annual net income was $21.88 billion that made the San-Francisco bank the most profitable of the US mega banks in 2013. Whilst the stock is trading at upper end of the US bank spectrum, I believe that these results, coupled with improving macroeconomic conditions will support the stock performance. The stock has already performed greatly and moved upwards by 33% year over year, and now it is trading at eleven times earnings.
(Source: Yahoo)
Now I want to enlighten the income statement with a focus on business lines of the bank. Well Fargo operates in three segments: community banking, wholesale banking, and wealth, brokerage and retirement. The community banking segment offers deposits and loans, also provides real estate financing. The wholesale banking segment offers commercial loans, international trade facilities etc. Wealth, brokerage and retirement segment provides financial advisory services for clients.
Compared to last year total revenue in community banking dropped by 11% which due mainly to lower mortgage banking revenue. However substantial declines in both provision for credit losses and non-interest expense helped the segment to be more profitable than it was last year. Investors should note that the bank wrote about a fifth of all U.S. home loans in 2013 that made the profitability of the bank perfectly responsive to the developments in the housing market. Federal Reserve data does not suggest a promising rise in mortgage lending by banks in the US. Therefore, Wells Fargo's wholesale banking revenue may not show a rapid rise but cost reductions that leads lower non-interest expense could help it to rise its income. Interestingly, the bank saved more than $1 billion with the declines in three sub-categories of non-interest expense (FDIC and other deposit assessments, operating losses, and foreclosed assets).
I expect revenue to grow on the wholesale banking side. According to Federal Reserve, the commercial and industrial loans of commercial banks in the United States is up 1.8% year to 14 Feb. At the end of last quarter, the annual growth rate was 6.1%, meanwhile Wells Fargo's commercial loans grew by 5% from $187.8 billion to $197.2 billion. A sharp rise in business lending will help all the bank boosting the profit this year.
With fee growth acceleration, net income in the wealth, brokerage and retirement segment showed a rapid upside move by 40%. Its contribution to total income is substantially rising as well.
The bank logged a credit loss provision of just $363 million, down 80% from the year earlier. It seems that bank is also benefiting from improving credit, allowing it to write off fewer bad loans and set aside less money for future losses. Also the ratios regarding capital adequacy are getting stronger.
Well Fargo is amongst the most profitable franchises within the US banking universe, with its high yielding asset mix and cost efficiencies. The bank has further potential to improve its revenue. I expect it to continue to enjoy premium valuations.

Every year there are those bright-eyed cuties that can be challenging in classroom, but this year, I have 7.
All with their own story and background that contribute to why they are the way they are.
I feel for them. All seven of them.
I want to help them so badly. I am not and never have been a "Negative Nancy," I just feel as though I have used everything in my "bag of tricks" to get them to listen/follow directions already and it is only week 1!
Now I'm sending out an S.O.S. (The Police anyone?) and I need to know, what is in your bag of tricks?!?!?
A little background & what I've tried already:
The challenges I am having overlap with many of the students.
Yes, I went to their respective kinder teachers and they all had the same challenges there.... somehow, they all ended up in my classroom this year.
{Listening/Following directions:}
We use Give me Five and CHAMPS school-wide.
Give me 5 may as well be a joke in my class. We have tried waiting and waiting and they still talk to one another. We have tried counting down to 0 and they still talk to each other. My kids are at the emergent level when it comes to mastering CHAMPS voice levels 0 and 1.
I use the following attention gainers:
- 1-2-3... eyes on you
- Echo clap
- Teacher whispers "if you can hear me put your hands on your shoulders" and repeats whispers with other movements until whole class is paying attention.
- Teacher sings, "Everyone do what I'm doing..." while touching nose, or head, etc.
- Head up (student repeats) Hands on your head (repeat) Eyes on me (repeat)
Students that are doing the appropriate thing are always given "cool cash" (school-wide incentive) and/or move their pin up! I also have Mel D's fabulous {reward coupons} that my attentive students love. I have yet to find what my seven love and will work for.
{Talking Back:}
Only one student does this, but it is difficult!
Student moves clip down for this.
Some have hit others, one punches himself, another throws a crying fit.
Students move clip, are ignored, talked to 1-on-1 or sent to the office based on the incident.
Positive reinforcements and praises are given as often as possible to ALL students. On the flip side, parents have already been called. and recesses have already been taken :(
I have made a sticker-chart for 2 of my students who are working on keeping their hands and feet to themselves. I just need to find out what they are willing to work for!
I am sure there is more, but I am drained.
So pretty please, share your wisdom with me!!!!!!!
What do you do with those difficult children? and what do you do when you have so many??
. . .
Last, but not least, I wanted to share that my Star of the Week freebie was featured on The Cornerstone!! Very exciting :)

In the battle of chess ideas, the publication in 1991 of Dynamic Chess Strategy was a defining moment. Before Mihai Suba's exceptional book, chess writers had neglected one of the most important factors of a chess position: its dynamic potential. Suba demonstrated that the traditional concept of improving the position was often static and irrelevant, and that classical strategy, if applied dogmatically, can prevent you from finding the right plan and its subsequent moves.

What's White Advantage Anyways?
Many chess players act intimidated and overly cautious when they have the Black pieces. They are so preoccupied with White's advantage of the first move, that their predominant urge is to defend against possible threats and to safeguard their position. Adorjan shows that White's advantage is far from obvious and that winning with Black starts with having the right attitude.This book will convince both club players and professionals that there is no reason to be afraid when playing Black.
Black is Back!

I love these little candy-coated pieces of peanut buttery goodness. They are great for adding to cookies and brownies or just eating on their own. I've also used them to decorate peanut butter chocolate cakes. The colours lend themselves well to use in Halloween treat bags and decorating other baked goods for the holiday as well.
These are delicious as is or on ice cream. I also like to make a fruit or graham cracker dip with them by mixing cream cheese, vanilla and sugar together and then mixing these in as well. I love the soft melting texture! Peanut better and chocolate are heavenly together!
These are so yummy!!!! Like them way better than the peanut butter cups! Love the peanut buttery taste and the crunch of the outer shell! So good I end up eating the whole box!
I enjoy eating Reeses Pieces Peanut Butter Candy. They're so fun to pop into your mouth a handful at a time or even one at a time. The outer shell is crunchy and sweet. The peanut butter inside is tasty and leaves you wanting more. It's a great treat and goes well with a glass of milk.
I tell myself , oh I'll only have a few. Ya right, the bag is gone before I know it. These are so tasty, not great healthy wise, but we all have to have simple, delicious rewards. We do all deserve it after all. Yes, yes and yes. This are yummy!!
These candies are good but I wish I had more of that peanut butter taste. You don't get very many in the package either. They taste good though!
Taste like peanut butter, with chocolate. A bit crunchy. Wish there would be more in the bag.
Reeses Pieces Peanut Butter Candy;
I personally prefer the original ressese pieces full size chocolate to the candy....
Good concept
Easy to eat . easy to share
Good for more of a candy taste
I prefer the full size resses pieces cups to the candy
It is candy end of the day not full chocolate
Love this combination of milk chocolate and peanut butter .I especially love to eat it with movie theatre popcorn. Highly recommend as a peanut buttery, chocolatey treat. The pieces are not chewy, but randy crunchy, with a smart shell-like thickness around the piece and a flaky peanut butter interior.
My Reeses Pieces is my all time favourite candy, ever since the first time I watched the movie ET when I was like 2 yrs old.
Delicious, doesn't melt in your hand. If my waist and teeth would let me, I would eat the 24/7!

North American Chair of the Order of St. Ignatius and Boston attorney, Mary Winstanley-O'Connor, will have an eventful year in 2015. Along with co-chair Raymond Sayeg, she is serving as co-chair of the committee responsible for the 52nd Antiochian Archdiocese Convention, which will be hosted by her home parish, St. Mary Orthodox Church in Cambridge, MA with The Very Rev. Antony Hughes. Antiochian.org asked her about the plans for the Archdiocese's "family reunion," which will be held in history-rich Boston, and will be led by Metropolitan Joseph for the first time.
Tell us about your hometown of Boston, and what conference-goers can look forward to this summer?
Boston is the cradle of democracy, rich in the history of the founding of our country, and home of the site of the Boston Tea Party. People are able to walk the Freedom Trail, visit the Old North Church from which the lanterns were hung to warn the troops as to whether the British were coming by land or by sea, and to visit the Paul Revere House.
Metropolitan Tikhon (OCA) and Patriarch John XOn Sunday, December 14, 2014, the final day of his visit to the United States before flying home from Washington, D.C.'s Dulles Airport, His Beatitude Patriarch John X of Antioch and All the East, alongside His Eminence Metropolitan Joseph, presided over a Patriarchal Divine Liturgy at Ss. Peter & Paul Antiochian Orthodox Church in Potomac, MD.
Joining them was His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon of the Orthodox Church in America. (See the OCA's account of the joyous celebration here.) His Eminence Metropolitan Sabba and His Eminence Metropolitan Vasileios also concelebrated at the Liturgy.
Prior to Sunday's Liturgy, the parish of Ss. Peter & Paul hosted Patriarch John X and Metropolitan Joseph for several events. A concert of Orthodox liturgical Christmas music on Friday, December 12, featured selections from Sergei Rachmaninoff's Vespers, and Byzantine Nativity selections sung by Archmandrite Elias Bitar, George Theodoritis, and Raseem El Massih. On Saturday night, Patriarch John X and Metropolitan Joseph presided over Great Vespers, and then attended a banquet held in their honor.

Photographers Haitham Fakhouri, Rami Dahdal and Luke Bullock provided a multitude of beautiful images, a treasury by which the Antiochian Archdiocese will long remember these historic services, meetings and celebrations.

His Beatitude Patriarch John X and His Eminence Metropolitan Joseph were interviewed by Fr. Christopher Metropulos of Orthodox Christian Network at Archdiocese Headquarters in Englewood, NJ, on Friday, December 5, on the eve of Metropolitan Joseph's Enthronement as Archbishop of New York and Metropolitan of All North America.
Watch the informative interviews, each about 20 minutes in length, below:
On December 10, during his final day in the New York area, His Beatitude, John X, Patriarch of Antioch and all the East, visited the United Nations and held meetings with a variety of officials. (Watch press conference here.) His first meeting was with the Deputy Secretary General, Mr. Ian Eliasson. During that meeting, as well as the other meetings, His Beatitude stressed that the only solution to the crisis in Syria is one of negotiations and peace, not of bombs and war, saying "The Syrian people ask for peace and welfare for themselves and for everyone on earth." He continued by saying that "as a Christian leader, I can also speak on behalf of the Islamic leaders in Syria in that we all reject extremism. In Greater Syria we have been co-existing for hundred of years." He also relayed in his various meetings that with regard to humanitarian relief the Orthodox Church is helping everyone, regardless of sect or religion. He stressed that, as Christians, we do not want to be considered a minority that needs special protection, but that the Christians are all part of the fabric of the society and are equal citizens in every respect.
On Tuesday, December 9, the North American visit of His Beatitude John X, Patriarch of Antioch and All the East, continued as he and His Eminence Metropolitan Joseph led an Archdiocese group to a meeting, prayers, and reception with His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America at their New York headquarters.

For Immediate Release: December 8, 2014
The second largest Orthodox Christian Church in North America has a new leader, enthroned by the head of one of the oldest churches on earth.
On Sat. Dec. 6, the Patriarch of Antioch and All of the East, Patriarch John X of Damascus, Syria, enthroned Metropolitan Joseph as new head of the Antiochian Orthodox Church in North America at that Church's national St. Nicholas Cathedral in Brooklyn, New York.
Metropolitan Joseph was selected by the Holy Synod of Antioch on July 3 to succeed Metropolitan Philip who died March 19 and headed the Antiochian Church in North America for over 48 years. Metropolitan Joseph was formerly the Bishop of the Diocese of Los Angeles and the West.
He now heads the entire Antiochian Orthodox Church in America, with nine bishops, over 400 clergy, 266 parishes and missions, and about 100,000 faithful throughout the United States and Canada. Over the last 40 years, the Antiochian church has received a sizable number of converts to Orthodoxy in the Americas.
Today we commemorate our great father among the saints, Nicholas the Wonderworker of Myra, the patron of this holy Cathedral. How greatly loved he is throughout the Christian world! He is even honored in popular culture, a fact well known to you all. Let us focus for a moment on the Troparion for St. Nicholas:
Thy works of justice did reveal Theeto Thy community as a canon of faith,the likeness of humilityand the teacher of abstinence.
O, Thou Father and great Bishop Nicholas.Wherefore by humilitythou didst achieve exaltation,and by Thy meekness wealth,
Intercede therefore,intercede with Christthat He will save our souls.
Your Eminence, Metropolitan Joseph,
Brother hierarchs and beloved clergy,
Your Excellencies, and beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,
I address you with the peace of Christ. I address you with the word of the Word who lived among us. "My peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you" (John 14:27). The enthronement of a bishop in the church is the enthronement of peace and love in her midst. Now, the Church expresses her full essence within a community governed with love. O Sayedna, Joseph, in the name of all your brothers in the Antiochian Orthodox Church, I address you personally:
Here, we stand now before the throne of the church. This throne will be honored with your love, covered with your wisdom and ardent with your apostolic Antiochian zeal. Bless this throne, be blessed with this throne through your sacrificial ministry and bless the church entrusted to your paternal care.

Advent 2014
Greetings and Blessings to the Members of the Antiochian Women, The Order of St. Ignatius of Antioch, The Fellowship of St. John the Divine, Teen SOYO, and all of the beloved faithful of this archdiocese.
"The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight the paths of our God" (Isaiah 40:3).
The Merriam-Webster online dictionary offers the following as one of the definitions for the word "prepare": "to make yourself ready for something that you will be doing or something that you expect to happen."
How appropriate it is to focus on the word "prepare" as it relates to the goal of the Advent Season. We are called to prepare ourselves to meet Jesus Christ Himself, the Incarnate God.

Canada launches world's largest commercial carbon-capture project
By Nia Williams
CALGARY, Alberta Oct 1 (Reuters) - Canada will launch the world's first commercial-scale carbon capture and storage project at a coal-fired power plant on Thursday, a closely watched experiment designed to cut 90 percent of the plant's carbon emissions.
The carbon-capture unit at the Boundary Dam power plant in Estevan, Saskatchewan, will be formally commissioned after a four-year C$1.35 billion ($1.21 billion) retrofit. Governments and industry around the world will be watching to see if the plant's operator, SaskPower, can turn large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) into a commercial success.
SaskPower, owned by the Prairie province of Saskatchewan, installed the CCS unit to prevent about 1 million tonnes, or 90 percent, of Boundary Dam's annual carbon dioxide emissions from entering the atmosphere once the unit reaches full operating capacity later this year.
Most of that carbon will be bought by Canada's No. 2 oil and gas producer, Cenovus Energy Inc, and used for enhanced oil recovery.
Concerns about greenhouse gas emissions have prompted several countries to pledge support to CCS projects and spurred companies to explore new technology. However, progress on the handful of CCS projects that have been approved has been slow and costly.
Seven years ago, the European Union declared it wanted up to 12 CCS demonstration projects to be running by 2015 but none have yet been authorized.
Some environmental groups lauded the opening of the Boundary Dam project and said it should encourage governments and companies that have recently cut investment in CCS to reconsider.
"Finally, people cannot say that this is unproven technology," said Frederic Hauge, head of Norwegian environmental group Bellona. Continued...

Last year I made a video declaring I wouldn't dwell on sad things, and listed a bunch of good things that had happened to me during 2012. It was a good idea in itself, but this time around I'm seeing it a little differently.
I can't really put a label on 2013 saying it was a "bad" or a "good" year, because lots and lots of things happened. Some things made me sad, and other things made me happy, and that's how life is. After everything that has been going on with me, I now think it is important to acknowledge everything that happens to us, even the not so cool stuff. I could write a list right now of all the cool things from the past year and show it to you guys, but that won't make me forget about the bad like they never happened. I also don't want to make it seem like I have the perfect life, and as if everything is going great all the time, because going through rough periods is only natural; it happens to everyone. We need to accept everything that happens to us, regardless of how we perceive it, which is why this year, I've decided to make this review of 2013 a top 5 list; top 5 worst and top 5 good events that have taken place in my life this year.
So here we go.
Top 5 worst things 2013
#4: Had a panic attack at 2 in the morning. I've only ever had a panic attack once, and let me tell you this: it wasn't pleasant. I was in my bed and I couldn't sleep, and I was really anxious for some reason (probably my future). All of a sudden I started crying so hard I couldn't breathe, I tried to get some water but my hands were shaking, and I sat on the floor rocking back and forth until it passed. That's the good thing about them I guess; they pass, rarely lasting longer than 20 minutes.
#3: I had so high expectations for my own birthday that on the very day I started crying and was disappointed (all of these have to do with crying, I've noticed...). Luckily I had my favourite cousin there to support me, and in the end it was just another day.
#2: A close friend of mine decided to end our friendship. Again, this is never something we can help. I'm sure whatever reasons this person had make sense in their head, even though they don't in mine. At least I was able to get the explanations I needed to move on.
#1: I was sexually assaulted by a "friend". Now, before you ask, yes, I am fine. I'm still alive and I'm breathing and stuff, no worries. To be honest, I'd say I'm more traumatised by the period after, where I was repeatedly told to report it because they take these things very seriously here in France, but then not believed by the police. This has created a lot of unnecessary trouble for me, but I've got no other choice than to try and move on with my life. I'm a fighter, and I can't let something like this get to me (even though it kinda sucks). Surprisingly enough, this was the only time on this list I didn't cry.
Top 5 good things 2013
#5: I moved out from my mom's house (and to another freaking country). I'm growing up and becoming independent n shit. It's scary, for sure, but at least I'm free now to do whatever it is I want with my life.
#4: I managed to get a full-time job, in a country where I don't even speak the language, and all on my own. I'm so proud of myself, because I've struggled a lot in the past with getting jobs. I've come a long way, in life.
#3: Started the year off by swimming with dolphins. Didn't matter if I had a raging hangover and only slept like 3 hours. On January 1st 2013 I was up and ready to make the most of my last couple of days in Thailand with my family. And dolphins are probably the best thing in the world.
#2: Passed IB. The IB (International Baccalaureate) was the root to many of my worries, and I have broken down many a time due to stressing about it. Seems all this worrying was for nothing though, because in the end I got enough points to pass, and can now proceed to university whenever I feel like it.
#1: Rediscovered anime. Yes, this is the very best thing I did this year, because anime has opened my eyes to a whole new world. I've made some great memories, which you can hear more about in my 12 Days of Anime videos, and I've made some fantastic new friends. I even created this blog, and it was all because of that one gem called Fullmetal Alchemist.
Predictions & plans for 2014
Some things I look forward to this year:
- Take a French class. It's about time I did this, seeing as working in a bar repeatedly saying the same words day in and day out isn't getting me anywhere. I hope to finally learn this goddamn language that has been haunting me practically all of my life. I can't wait to speak French.
- Get a new (and perhaps better) job. I wrote this part of the post before getting the new job and putting it on the list. But instead of just removing it, I'll keep it, to show how far I've gotten already. It was my goal for next year, but I already accomplished it. So I guess the goal now will be to keep it and get good at it.
- Going to university. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to study at university, and that is soon to be reality. I'm in the process of applying, and have picked 5 universities in England that I would like to study at. I'm completely syked about this, and I expect it to be a lot of fun. I almost can't wait.
Resolutions & goals
Lastly, I'll share with you my personal goals for 2014. This has nothing to do with what I think is going to happen, but more to do with what I want to make reality. I don't really like the word "resolutions" as I associate it with something that always fail, and therefore I like to use the word "goal" instead. I always try to make this list a short one, with only a few, meaningful goals on it. To be honest, I pretty much failed all of my goals for 2013 but one, but one is a start, and this year I want to achieve even more.
- Learn French. I already talked about this, but I think it deserves a spot on this list as well. Not only do I want to learn the French language, but I want to know the culture better too. I better work hard though, seeing as time seems to fly around here!
- Cosplay. There are two conventions, one in Norway, and one in Paris, that I'm simply dying to go to in 2014. And I want to cosplay; I have already started planning the outfits. I hope this will be successful and done in time, despite my utter lack of sowing and crafting skills.
- Learn to properly blog. I want to get a domain name for my blog, and perhaps more it over to Wordpress. I've been thinking about this ever since I started, and I've got in touch with some people who can help me understand how to do this better. Hopefully one day I'll be able to run this blog all on my own.
- Join a sports club in uni. I want to do something fun and active to stay in shape, and university offers a wide range of possibilities. I've always wanted to try tennis, but that was too expensive for me back in Norway, so I'm hoping I'll be able to do it once I get to uni.


text: NEW YORK, April 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL), the New York-based specialty athletic retailer, has once again assembled another star-studded cast of sports legends to tip-off the playoff season and to let fans know it's time to step up their game. Foot Locker's newest commercial titled "No Rings," features adidas basketball star Damian Lillard and pokes fun in a tongue-and-cheek manner at ringless sports legends Barry Sanders, LaDainian Tomlinson, Chris Webber and Karl Malone.Debuting tonight on TNT, the spot opens with rising star Lillard conversing on his phone with a friend about the upcoming playoffs and how he hopes not to end up ringless like some athletes of the past. To his surprise, iconic (and ringless) sports legends Sanders, Tomlinson, Webber, and Malone are hanging out in his living room, noticeably affected by the reminder that the coveted championship ring has slipped through their fingers. "This past holiday season, we entertained millions with the 'All Is Right' commercial by bringing together sports legends in a humorous way that surprised many fans, and we're proud to do it again in our latest Approved campaign," said Stacy Cunningham, Executive Vice President of Marketing for Foot Locker. "We enjoyed working with this amazing cast of athletes to create a spot that taps into the anticipation of this important part of the basketball season, while having some fun." "Playoffs are the time to step up your game," said Lillard. "It was such an incredible opportunity to work with Barry, LT, Chris and Karl on Foot Locker and adidas' new commercial to tip-off the playoff season. I had so much fun working with these incredible sports legends."
