Bobbie Thomas, TODAY Style editor and author of the Buzz column for In Touch Weekly, offers her latest roundup of buzz-worthy items:
Indoor coutureIf you've been living under your Snuggie for the last few months then you'll be excited to find out about the latest head-to-toe cozy adult-onesies craze. Yes, Forever Lazy's "Uni-Lazy" may provide all the warmth and comfort of a blanket, but it also gives you the ability to get off the couch. And even celebs are scooping them up! Fergie and her hot hubby, Josh Duhamel, ordered 22 of the PJ suits for friends, family, and even her Black Eyed Peas bandmates. While they are available in a variety of "fashion" colors, please do not (I repeat, please do not) step outside to make a style statement ($54.99; foreverlazy.com)!
Fairy-tale feverFrom fantasy to ethereal, beauty is swinging in a soft direction. Urban Decay's Box of Shadows palette was created exclusively for Tim Burton's highly anticipated adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland," set to be released March 5. After flipping open the cover, I couldn't help but smile (or grin like the Cheshire Cat) and be enchanted by the fantasy pop-up scene that transports you right into Alice's whimsical world ($52, UrbanDecay.com). And Chanel surprised us on the spring catwalk with a chic twist on tattoos! Inspired by the luxury brand's iconic symbols, pearls, blossoms and swallows are a few of the delicate designs that Les Trompe L'Oeil created for the limited-edition temporary skin art. Available Feb. 15, each five-sheet package includes 55 decals that will temporarily transform the wearer into a glam goddess.
Neutral nailsWhen you do venture out of the house, gray-beige nail polish is a surefire way to be chic. While 2009 was dominated by black and navy blue, 2010's shades will be more earthy, from Chinchilly ($8, Essie.com) to charcoal and every color in between. While the winter wind is still nipping at your nose, try a frosty gunmetal polish like Yves Saint Laurent's Tuxedo Grey ($20, yslbeautyus.com). And although you may think you want something to be putty in your hands, this spring you'll want putty on your hands! Creative Nail Design's Asphalt created buzz on Behnaz Sarafpour's catwalk ($9, GoIndulge.com), and OPI for Sephora's Metro Chic, taupe with a touch of purple gray, is already selling out ($9, sephora.com)!
Haute hair artHollywood has been going gaga for crazy hair art (e.g., Lady Gaga's gravity-defying creations), but there are plenty of practical ways for you to jump on board with these trendy new tresses. Kristin Jackson designs barrettes and headbands with faux hair bows and braids affixed so you can get the look that was oh-so-popular on Rebecca Taylor's Spring 2010 runway ($18 and up, KristinJacksonHair.com). And while most women spend lots of money to have hair removed, you may find yourself adding hair in other places — like your neck! Saltalamacchia's unique horsetail hair necklaces range in color from black to blond, and promise to be great conversation pieces too ($151-$529, evanewyork.net)!

Clog crazeClogs are back, and in new forms and fun patterns. Heavy hitters Chanel and Louis Vuitton both sent models marching down the runway in updated versions of the wooden shoe rather than the teetering stilettos that have caused many to tumble ($745-$1,795, 800-555-0005). Designs from contemporary collections such as Stuart Weitzman and No. 6 are editor picks for spring. Hollywood's not far behind, with celebs scooping pairs from C&C Sweden, which offers everything from fun florals to metallics and even patent leather versions ($89.95-$99.95, TheScandinavianCompany.com/clogs/).

Even this it's still swollen but once it's not, it'll look even smaller. Just had chin implant 4 days ago. My chin look nothing diff from before. I feel like it needs to be longer to make my face more slimmer, long and narrow. What can I do at this point? Can I get it redone right away since it only been 4 days.
Why does my chin still look the same after chin implant? (photos)
Doctor Answers 2
Unhappy with chin implant after 4 days
Thank you for asking about your chin implant.
It is truly too early to judge your result four days after surgery. You are very swollen and your face will look wider for now. Please see your plastic surgeon and review your before and after photos, discuss your concerns and be prepared to wait six weeks to have an idea of your result and six months to see your final result. If you do not like the result, a larger implant can be placed. later. Usually the only reason to re-operate early is to remove an infected implant or to reposition an implant that has moved out of position.
Always see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes - Elizabeth Morgan MD PHD FACS
Post op chin implant
It is difficult to judge your result at just 4 days post op. The swelling can distort the contour changes from the implant you had placed. Give it time to see how things look when all the swelling is resolved. If not happy after healing is complere, you can have something done. To try and replace the implant while still swollen will decrease the chances of a good result. Good luck. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon

Bringing a splash of colour to the table
Metallic finishes, sparkling decorative details and contemporary fusion designs are hot trends in tableware, dinnerware and gift items at this year's HKTDC Hong Kong Houseware Fair, from today until Thursday at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Topchoice Industries will present several collections of dinnerware and gift items decorated with intricate details in gold and silver, and pearl-effect motifs.
Brenda Liang Chia-yu, marketing manager at Topchoice, said the company achieved a breakthrough in applying metallic decoration to strengthen its profile as a supplier of higher-end products.
'Although the materials are costly, we have made use of this challenging application to differentiate our products. The dinnerware and gift items with metallic details are all modern styles,' Ms Liang said.
Items in the Souffle Gold collection have a luxurious look but are also suitable for daily use. In the bridal Casa Grande collection, the new bone China items with metallic decorative motifs could be bought as a set but select items were also available in pairs, she said. All the items with metallic details comply with the stringent safety standards of the European Union.
To Ngai Earthware will unveil a collection of porcelain home decorative items and lighting products featuring metallic designs made with vacuum electroplating technology.
'We have pioneered the application of vacuum electroplating on porcelain,' said Jacky Liu Chiu-yuen, general manager of To Ngai. 'We have created new visual effects and colours such as silver and bronze. The advantages of applying vacuum electroplating to porcelain include high lustre and even-colour distribution.'
Mr Liu said To Ngai had diversified its design further by following European fashion trends more closely. The company focuses on developing unique designs to keep one step ahead of competitors. 'When the designs are unique, it's difficult for customers to compare prices,' Mr Liu said.
The colourful luxury tableware items in the Gallery by Inhesion line by Inhesion Industrial feature modern patterns highlighted with unique embossed and lustre details and a metallic effect.
Spokeswoman Tracie Tong Wan-yiu said the company had an edge in pattern design because it also operated a decal transfer printing factory.
Popular designs in the line include round-rim plates and deep bowls. All items from Inhesion, which caters for the luxury market and accepts small volume orders, are produced at its factory in Malaysia, but Ms Tong said the firm co-operated with designers from all over the world to develop exclusive collections.
The fashion for metallic effects has also spread to home textiles. Small World will launch a collection of cushion covers in bronze and platinum fabrics at the fair. Some have embroidered designs with metallic threads.
'The materials we use are mainly cotton and linen blends, fake leather and fake silk for easy care,' said spokeswoman Florence Lai Ching-mun.
Many people also like to have some golden sparkle and metallic shine in their festive decorative objects. Cindy Ho Ting-fong of Sheric Trading said the company would display some Christmas decorative items, including wreaths and garlands, in gold, copper and chocolate colours.
Designs that remind people of happy childhood moments will be displayed prominently by several exhibitors. Topchoice's Animal Magic is a range of porcelain decorative items that include money banks, confectionery jars, salt and pepper cellars, multipurpose boxes and jewellery boxes. 'The animal theme is always popular,' Ms Liang said.
But the pieces by Topchoice are animal designs with a twist. 'We give the designs some character,' said Ms Liang. 'For example, a decorative item with a giant panda design is transformed into a Russian nesting doll and we have printed on it an outfit with special graphic details.'
Sheric Trading's Egg Creations line of porcelain, mainly coffee mugs and dinner sets with modern styling, hinted at childhood innocence, said Ms Ho. 'We encourage mixing and matching items in our dinner sets. For example, customers can have serving dishes in various designs in one dinner set.'
Childhood fun is also reflected in the mixture of various bright colours in one design. 'Our porcelain pieces feature intricate floral patterns that are hand-painted as well as computer-generated,' Ms Ho said.
Inhesion Industrial has launched a Chinese-style dinner set to explore the untapped market of overseas Chinese. 'Many of these overseas Chinese households are affluent. At least once a week families gather for a traditional Chinese meal,' Ms Tong said.
'But very few department stores in the west carry full sets of stylishly designed Chinese tableware that suit their requirements. We therefore have developed this line to target them.'
Under the Kris Kelley brand, the 46 items in the Chinese-style tableware line were of simple designs in light colours, Ms Tong said. The set allowed continuation because customers could easily replace broken items in department stores in major cities, she said.

A federal magistrate judge has recommended dismissing a lawsuit the Iberia Parish Council filed in October targeting Parish President Errol "Romo" Romero's son Shane, saying the case belongs in state court.
In the lawsuit, an attorney for the council claimed Shane Romero was improperly making parish government decisions for his father.
But Judge Michael C. Hill wrote this week that the claims on which the council based its lawsuit — that Shane Romero had violated federal governmental separation of powers and due process doctrines — did not rise to threshold level required for a case to be heard in federal court.
Hill said the case belonged in state court.
Hill also noted the politics involved, agreeing with a motion Shane Romero filed in January that the council's lawsuit is "a poorly veiled attempt to use the federal courts to settle a political dispute."
Hill wrote, "Without going into great detail here, suffice it to say that an ongoing political fight has erupted between the council on one hand, and Shane and Romo on the other hand."
The lawsuit was an attempt to have a judge order Shane Romero to stay away from his father's office. The council alleged the younger Romero was making decisions for Iberia Parish and that he had "usurped the office of the parish president."
And the suit intimated that Errol Romero was not mentally fit to make decisions.
In an emailed statement Friday, Shane Romero said the parish's lawsuit was "dirty politics." He said it was filed four weeks before an election for New Iberia city judge, a race that he had entered and ended up losing.
Shane Romero in his statement vowed to "hold all those involved in pursuing this lawsuit responsible."
Hill, as a federal magistrate judge, cannot dismiss the suit. That authority rests with U.S. District Judge Rebecca Doherty.
The council's attorney, Gary McGoffin, said Friday he would ask council members at the next regular meeting how they want to proceed.
The council could pursue the matter by filing a lawsuit in state district court, drop the suit or ask Doherty to keep the case alive in federal court.
McGoffin said the council decided to file the suit in federal court in October because of the politics involved.
"It's a sensitive local issue. The desire was, let's take it to the federal court first so that we can avoid the perception of local, political persuasion" in state district court in New Iberia, he said.
That sensitive local issue has its roots in a fight between the Romeros and former District Attorney Phil Haney that erupted during a hard-fought 2011 campaign for parish president, which Romero won.
In February 2012, after taking office, Romero purportedly composed a 60-page complaint and mailed it to some of Louisiana's chief law officials, including Attorney General Buddy Caldwell and the chief justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court. The complaint claimed Haney, who backed another candidate, played dirty by coercing voters to cast ballots for Romero's opponent.
The Attorney General's Office reviewed the case and dismissed the allegations.
A separate investigation, paid for by parish government and carried out by former U.S. Attorney Donald Washington, found the complaint letter most probably was written by Shane Romero and another attorney.
Washington, who did not interview Errol Romero but watched a recording of him in a deposition, concluded the elder Romero "appears to have a significant, bona fide memory deficit as he was unable to recall a number of issues that are relevant to this investigation."

Knowledge and acceptability of
Disease epidemiology - infectious
Pregnant women aged ≤ 30 years and their partners (regardless of their age) attending one of the participating primary midwifery care practices in the Netherlands were invited to participate. All participants completed a questionnaire, pregnant women provided a vaginal swab and partners provided a urine sample to test for
In total, 383 pregnant women and 282 partners participated in the study of whom 1.9% women and 2.6% partners tested chlamydia positive. Participants had high levels of awareness (92.8%) of chlamydial infection. They were knowledgeable about the risk of chlamydia infection; median knowledge score was 9.0 out of 12.0. Lower knowledge scores were found among partners (p-value <0.001), younger aged (p-value 0.02), non-western origin (p-value <0.001), low educational level (p-value <0.001), and no history of sexually transmitted infections (p-value <0.001). In total, 78% of respondents indicated that when pregnant women are tested for chlamydia, their partners should also be tested; 54% believed that all women should routinely be tested. Pregnant women more often indicated than partners that testing partners for chlamydial infection was not necessary (p-value <0.001). The majority of pregnant women (56.2%) and partners (59.2%) felt satisfied by being offered the test during antenatal care.
Pregnant women and their partners were knowledgeable about chlamydial infection, found testing, both pregnant women and their partners, for chlamydia acceptable and not stigmatizing.
In the Netherlands pregnant women are routinely tested for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B, but not for chlamydia
A key factor for the effectiveness of an antenatal chlamydia screening program is that women and their partners have knowledge about the infection and that they accept screening
The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of chlamydia infection among pregnant women and their partners in the Netherlands and to determine associations between pregnant women and their partner's demographic characteristics and their knowledge on chlamydia infections. In addition, we assessed their attitudes towards antenatal chlamydia testing and experiences of being offered a test in antenatal care.
This study is part of a national cross-sectional study about the prevalence and risk factors for chlamydia infection in pregnant women and their partners. Primary care midwifery practices were invited using a sampling method based on the location of the practices in the Netherlands. In total, twenty-two primary midwifery care practices participated. Pregnant women were eligible for participation if they consulted a midwife in one of the participating practices between May 2012 and December 2013, were pregnant at the time of enrolment, had reached the legal age of consent of 18 years, were younger than 31 years of age, and were able to understand Dutch. Partners of women were eligible to participate if they were present at the time their pregnant partner was included, and were able to understand Dutch. Because chlamydia is more prevalent among younger people, we decided to include only pregnant women younger than 31 years. There was no age limit for the partners.
The Medical Ethics Committee of the VU University Medical Center Amsterdam, the Netherlands, approved the study.
Data collection
The midwife or practice assistant informed pregnant women and their partners about the study and invited them to participate. Eligible pregnant women and partners signed an informed consent form. They were asked to fill in a questionnaire, which contained 37 questions. In addition they were asked to provide a self-collected sample (e.g. a vaginal swab for women and urine specimen for partners), which was sent to the laboratory for
The questionnaire was developed to obtain data on demographic characteristics, knowledge of the infection, and attitudes towards testing for chlamydia in antenatal care. Questions were based on previous studies and the literature
Chlamydia trachomatis detection
To detect
Data from the informed consent forms and the questionnaires were linked with chlamydia test results using anonymized identification numbers.
We calculated frequency distributions for questionnaire items on the separate knowledge questions and the knowledge score, attitudes towards chlamydia testing in antenatal care and experiences for being offered a chlamydia test.
We used the Mann–Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test for differences in knowledge scores between subgroups of pregnant women and their partners based on their characteristics. We used these non-parametric tests because the knowledge score was not normally distributed. In addition we used
In total 485 pregnant women from 22 primary midwifery care practices participated in this study. Of them, 102 pregnant women were excluded from analysis: five did not have a unique participation code, and 97 did not return the questionnaire. After exclusion, 383 pregnant women remained in the study, of whom 286 partners participated. Four partners were excluded from the study because they did not return the questionnaire, resulting in 282 partners included for analyses.
Characteristics of the participants
The median age of the pregnant women was 27 years, range 18 to 30 years. The median age of the 282 partners was 30 years, range 18 to 49 years. Vaginal swabs and urine samples were available from 627 participants (94.3%), of which 14 (2.2%) tested positive for chlamydia; seven women (1.9%) and seven partners (2.6%). Two women tested negative while their partner tested positive. More detailed information about background characteristics of the participants is shown in Table
Knowledge of Chlamydia trachomatis infection
In total, 616 (92.8%) pregnant women and their partners had heard about chlamydia before they participated in this study and knew that the infection was an STI; 5 (0.8%) of them had heard of chlamydia but did not know the infection was an STI, and 43 (6.5%) pregnant women and partners had never heard of chlamydia before they participated in this study.
Of pregnant women and partners, 81 (12.3%) answered all twelve knowledge questions correctly. The overall median knowledge score was 9 out of a maximum possible score of 12 (range: 0 to 12); and 17 (2.6%) of them scored 0. Table
Pregnant women significantly more often correctly indicated that you cannot get infected with chlamydia through toilet seats (63.4) than partners (54.8%). In addition, women indicated significantly more often correctly that one cannot get infected with chlamydia through bath towels (57.4%) than partners (48.0%).
Attitudes towards testing
According to 347 (54.2%) participating pregnant women and partners, all women should routinely be tested for chlamydia in antenatal care; 85 (13.3%) reported that only women at increased risk should be tested; 160 (25.0%) reported that pregnant women should only be tested if they want to be tested, one persons reported that testing pregnant women for chlamydia was not necessary, and 47 (7.3%) reported that they had no opinion about whether or not pregnant women should be tested for chlamydia in antenatal care. Table
Experiences of being offered a test
The majority of pregnant women (59.2%) and partners (56.2%) felt satisfied with the test offer for chlamydia, and for most pregnant women (70.5%) and partners (69.7%) it had no emotional impact (Table
This study shows that pregnant women and their partners think that testing women for chlamydia during antenatal care is acceptable and not stigmatizing.
To our knowledge there are not many studies in industrialized country that tested both pregnant women and partners for chlamydia infection during antenatal care, as well as that we assessed their attitudes towards testing and experiences of being offered a test. We found positive attitudes towards screening. However, it is possible that partners of pregnant women who did not participate in this study were less positive about being tested for chlamydia infection during antenatal care. Some bias may have occurred in this study. We cannot comment on the characteristics or reasons for not participating since the number and reasons for refusal for both pregnant women and their partners were not recorded. Furthermore, midwives may not have asked all eligible pregnant women to participate. Possible explanations may be time constraints or because midwives felt uncomfortable asking pregnant women to participate in a chlamydia study. In our previous study we have shown that midwives are often not comfortable asking pregnant women about their sexual history. Likewise, they may feel uncomfortable inviting women and partners to participate in a chlamydia prevalence study
Unfortunately, we did not investigate the attitudes and experiences of pregnant women and partners after they received their chlamydia test result. A positive test result may influence their future attitudes or experiences
The majority of the pregnant women and their partners included in this study were aware about chlamydia being an STI, unlike the study among pregnant women in Australia
Our study found that pregnant women and their partners had positive attitudes towards antenatal chlamydia testing. Although one quarter of the pregnant women and partners indicated that pregnant women should only be tested if they want to be tested, the majority indicated that all pregnant women should be tested for chlamydia. This indicates high acceptance of testing for chlamydia during antenatal care. Furthermore, the majority of participants indicated that the partner of a pregnant woman should also be tested for chlamydia infection during antenatal care. These results are comparable with a study from Sweden in which most of the interviewed men showed positive attitudes towards testing for HIV and chlamydia during antenatal care and that this would make them feel more involved in the pregnancy
The majority of pregnant women and partners felt satisfied when they were offered a chlamydia test. Only a small proportion felt stigmatized or ashamed when the midwife offered them a test. For midwives it is necessary to minimize embarrassment by offering clients appropriate information on chlamydia infection. In the Netherlands, target screening for chlamydia is recommended by the Dutch Health Council
This study showed that pregnant women and their partners were knowledgeable about chlamydia infection and that testing was highly acceptable and not stigmatizing. These results provide a good basis for introducing a chlamydia screening programme during pregnancy in the Netherlands. Since chlamydia can be easily treated, such program would lower transmission of chlamydia, maternal disease, adverse pregnancy outcomes and neonatal disease.

Gov. Chris Gregoire today announced that EGT and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union reached a tentative settlement on pending legal issues surrounding labor disputes at EGT's grain export facility in Longview.
"I asked EGT and ILWU to come together in a good faith effort to overcome their differences," Gregoire said. "Both parties should be commended for their willingness to work together and compromise. This framework reflects considerable effort to put the interests of the Longview community and the entire Columbia River basin first. I am confident an agreement can be reached that will satisfy both parties and allow the new grain terminal to become fully operational."
"We are pleased to announce that after a series of discussions convened by Governor Gregoire, the ILWU and EGT have reached a tentative settlement to resolve the pending legal matters between the parties and the Port of Longview," said EGT CEO Larry Clarke. "While the parties are still working to finalize certain conditions over the next several days, we are optimistic we can resolve the dispute and get on with the business of operating the facility. From the beginning, we had two core goals -- to operate this 21st Century facility safely and efficiently and to ensure the entire Longview Community shares in the economic benefits this facility will provide. We are optimistic this process will help us reach both of these objectives."
"This is a win for the ILWU, EGT, and the Longview community," said ILWU President Robert McEllrath. "I want to thank Governor Gregoire for her leadership in working with both parties to find common ground. The ILWU has eight decades of grain export experience in the Northwest, and we look forward to the opportunity to develop a positive working relationship with EGT."

As Matthews explains in the following interview, he thought it was possible that the Rangers would select him with their first pick. But he figured he was much more likely to go in the supplemental round.
The Rangers officially signed Matthews less than two weeks after the draft, inking him for a slot-level $936,000 bonus and steering him away from a seemingly strong commitment to the University of Virginia.
The 5-foot-11, 180-pound southpaw then reported to the club's minor league complex in Arizona, where he began his professional career with the rookie-level Surprise Rangers.
Matthews posted a 1.50 earned-run average in seven appearances (three starts) with the Arizona League team. He yielded two earned runs in 12 innings, giving up 10 hits, walking five, and striking out 12.
In his second professional appearance, Matthews hurled a scoreless inning against the AZL Diamondbacks, walking one and striking out one. He featured an 89-92 mph fastball and a 78-81 mph breaking ball.
Two appearances later, he faced the East Division-leading AZL Giants and gave up a solo home run for the only damage in two innings of work. He fanned two without issuing a walk. The 18-year-old's stuff ticked up slightly in the second game, as his fastball jumped into the 90-94 mph range.
After eventually getting stretched to three innings with the rookie club, Matthews earned the promotion to short-season Spokane. The prospect has pitched well in three starts with the Indians, surrendering three runs in 12.2 innings. He has allowed nine hits while walking seven and fanning 14.
In his longer outings with the Indians, Matthews' velocity has settled into the upper-80s, low-90s. His 78-81 mph breaking ball isn't quite a curveball, and it isn't quite a slider. It's a tight-spinning pitch that is probably best described as a slurve––an offering that seems right in-between the two traditional breaking balls.
Like most young hurlers who were able to blow away their peers with pure velocity, Matthews rarely––if ever––featured a changeup in high school. He didn't throw his first professional change until that July 20 outing against the Giants. The pitch had some sinking action when thrown during between-inning warmups, but the only in-game change he threw that day was a firm 86 mph offering for a ball to a right-handed batter.
The Georgia native has begun throwing his changeup "roughly 12-15 times in each appearance with Spokane," according to a reason MiLB.com article from Patrick Brown.
Lone Star Dugout recently caught up with the first-rounder, who has a 1.82 ERA with 26 strikeouts in 24.2 innings between the two short-season levels this summer.
Jason Cole: Tell me about your outing today (July 20).
Kevin Matthews: I felt better than I have. The first couple times, I didn't feel rusty but I just felt like I had to get back into the swing of things. Tonight, I felt better than I have. I was more in-tune and just doing the things I've been working on.
Cole: I know your velocity ticked up a bit tonight. Have you needed to rebuild the arm strength from your high school season at all?
Matthews: I think some of that is just getting back into the weight room. It was more me getting control back and getting the feel for pitching.
Cole: How long of a layoff did you have between pitching in high school games until pitching out here?
Matthews: The last time I pitched in high school was early May or late April. I had done some workouts and stuff for teams, but I hadn't thrown in a game. After workouts were done for the draft, I rested for like two weeks and didn't really throw at all.
Cole: I know you're used to going deep into games from high school. You've been going one or two innings so far in the Arizona League. Are you looking forward to getting stretched out a little bit?
Matthews: Yeah. A lot of pitchers are different, but I feel like I get stronger in the fourth or fifth inning. I don't mind it right now. I'm just getting used to everything––getting used to pro ball and seeing how things are. But I'm looking forward to starting to go deeper, yeah.
Cole: You had an opportunity to attend a good school in the University of Virginia. But is it nice to basically just go to school for baseball out here?
Matthews: Yeah. For me, it's better than being in a classroom. But I'm enjoying it. It's a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to the years.
Cole: When you work with your pitching coaches between starts, what are some of the things you've been focusing on most?
Matthews: O'Malley and Oscar really have me getting on top of the ball and keeping it down. So I've been working on that. I feel that legs and your core are big things for pitching, so I've been working really hard on those.
Cole: You threw one changeup tonight. Is that something you threw at all in high school?
Matthews: Not in high school. We're working on it here––just getting it better. In the bullpens and sides, I've been throwing it a good bit.
Cole: Have you had to change the grip that you 'used' in high school?
Matthews: It's actually a circle now. I used to throw kind of a split-change, but I'm starting to like the circle a lot. I feel I have more control, so I'm going to stick with the circle.
Cole: Obviously you threw it once tonight, but have you thrown it in past outings since signing?
Matthews: This is actually the first time in a game. But the first two or three times out, I've only thrown an inning. It's harder to work your pitches in with only an inning.
Cole: Your breaking ball––do you call it a curveball or a slider?
Matthews: I think it's more of a slurve. It's probably more of a curveball than a slider, but I think it has the action of a slider with the speed of a curveball.
Cole: Has it always been like that?
Matthews: Yeah. That's always how it has been. I toyed with a curveball, but I just can't really find a feel for it. I'm just going to stick with the slurve.
Cole: Take me back to draft day and getting picked by the Rangers. What was that day like for you? What was the experience like?
Matthews: My advisor––he told me just to act like a normal day. We weren't really expecting much. He said maybe supplemental round. So I went to the pool like it was a normal day. Then I had some friends over because the supplemental would still be on TV. So maybe there would be a shot that I got called, and it'd be nice to have some friends there to celebrate.
So we started watching the draft. I just remembered pick after pick and it was getting closer to Texas. So I started to get nervous. My hands were sweaty and my stomach had butterflies.
It was their next pick, and I was really nervous. I didn't know who they were going to take. Daniel Norris was still on the board, plus Henry Owens, Dillon Howard––they were all still on the board. I didn't think there was a shot. They didn't call me or anything before and tell me. And then Selig called my name on TV, and the place went crazy. I ran around the house.
Cole: Did you hear anything they said on TV after the pick?
Matthews: No. But I recorded it, so I got to go back and watch it. It was pretty cool.
Cole: You said that you got a little nervous when the Rangers were picking. Had you known before the draft that they were on you heavily?
Matthews: Yeah, I thought it was either going to be them or Seattle. Seattle was real big, too. And you never know if there's a team that doesn't really say much and then they take you. But I thought that it was either going to be Texas or Seattle––I just didn't know when.
Cole: Did you go to Arlington at all?
Matthews: Yeah, it was for the physical.
Cole: But you signed in Atlanta, right?
Matthews: At Turner Field, yeah.
Cole: Even though it wasn't at Rangers Ballpark, tell me what that experience was like––being around the major league team and coaching staff.
Matthews: We got there and we went into the locker room––Texas' locker room. I got to meet some of the guys like Josh Hamilton. They're real good guys. You think they're big leaguers and some of them would just be like, 'Whatever,' but they were real nice. All of them came up to me, Cone, and JT (Johnathan Taylor).
Then we started the press conference. JT was there. It was real good to have him there. It was kind of like an eye opener that this could end any day. A lot of questions were toward him and Zach because it was between them and they are such good friends. But it was a good experience. I enjoyed it a lot.
Cole: When you went to Arlington for the physical, were the Rangers in town?
Matthews: No, they weren't. But I got to tour the stadium, and it's a real nice stadium. It's old school, but it's new.
Cole: Did you get a chance to meet Nolan Ryan?
Matthews: No, but I was hoping.
Cole: Clearly you have some season left here in Arizona, and then I'm sure you'll be at instructs. But are you kind of looking forward to your first spring training next year?
Matthews: Yeah, I'm excited for that. I'm going to work real hard in the offseason and hopefully start off somewhere other than 115 degrees. I believe hard work is what gets you far. That's what I've always done, so I'm going to work hard and come to spring training real strong, hopefully. Then we'll take it from there.
Cole: As you look forward to the remainder of your season out here, just tell me what you'd like to improve upon.
Matthews: I'd like to improve on pitching sequences. I want to learn how to really pitch instead of just throwing. I also want to learn the game of baseball and work on my changeup a lot. Just being more accurate.
Cole: You've played on the showcase circuit some in addition to your normal high school experience. In the AZL, how much different is this brand of baseball compared to what you're accustomed to?
Matthews: I think the hitters are better. They expect what's about to be thrown. They expect a 92 mph fastball. So I think that's different. The first time I pitched, I was real nervous. I didn't know what to expect as far as how good the hitters would be. It took probably until the second outing before I settled in.

PETOSKEY, Mich. (AP) Shortly after reporting his wife missing last month, Stephen Grant went before TV cameras, crying, begging her to come home.
But authorities were suspicious.
"We thought it was a confession waiting to happen right then," Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith said Monday.
Police said the alleged confession finally came Monday, more than three weeks after Tara Grant last was seen alive.
Authorities said Stephen Grant, 37, told them he killed his wife in the couple's home and later dismembered her. He was arrested early Sunday and treated for hypothermia after he spent 10 hours hiding in a park at the tip of Michigan's Lower Peninsula.
ON DEADLINE: Updates from our Gannett colleagues in Detroit
He was discharged from a hospital Monday and brought back to Macomb County outside Detroit, where he was being held pending his arraignment set for Tuesday on charges of first-degree murder and dismemberment of a body.
Sheriff Mark Hackel said Grant "gave a very lengthy confession, laying out exactly what took place."
But he didn't offer a motive, Smith said.
"Evil rarely explains itself," the prosecutor said. "To us, it's not an element we have to prove."
Autopsy results suggest Tara Grant was strangled on Feb. 9, said Medical Examiner Daniel Spitz. That was the date she was last seen alive after returning from a business trip to Puerto Rico. Police have said the couple had recently argued over her frequent trips.
Grant waited five days before reporting his wife missing. Investigators found her torso Friday in the garage of the couple's home in suburban Detroit. Other body parts turned up in a nearby park.
VIDEO: Fugitive husband found
The remains showed signs of a struggle, including neck bruises, according to Spitz. It was unclear when the body was dismembered.
Smith said investigators believe that the couple's two children — a 6-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy — were asleep in the home and didn't witness the slaying.
As he was discharged from the hospital on Monday, Grant rode in a wheelchair and wore protective footwear because of frostbite. He ignored reporters' questions before stepping into a sheriff's department vehicle.
Grant said during his confession he initially put the torso in the park but retrieved it before police searched there Feb. 24, according to Hackel. He was "nervous" after learning of the impending search, the sheriff said.
Smith said a neighbor found a plastic bag containing latex gloves, metal shavings and human blood in the woods near the Grants' house. The discovery enabled police to obtain a warrant to search the home and a tool-and-die shop where Grant worked. Smith said the body was dismembered at the shop.
Grant, who had insisted he was innocent, fled in a friend's pickup after police obtained the search warrant Friday. Officers traced calls from his cellphone to Wilderness State Park about 225 miles north on Lake Michigan, where he was found early Sunday hiding under a fallen tree, wearing only a shirt, socks and pants in 14-degree weather.
The Grants' two children were staying with relatives.
A lawyer who had acted as Grant's spokesman, said Sunday he no longer would represent him because of irreconcilable differences. Hackel said Grant didn't have a new lawyer as of Monday night.

Only three capital cities nationwide recorded incremental increases in home values over September, with a majority of Aussie states and territories recording a fall in values throughout the first month of spring.
The soft September results, according to RP data research head Tim Lawless, are likely to be welcome news to potential buyers and the Reserve Bank following the largest capital gains recorded during winter 2007.
Mr Lawless said the annual rate of appreciation in housing values has been moderating since peaking in April 2014 and added the annual trend of capital growth has been trending lower – an important factor given that the rate of capital gain is no longer accelerating.
"Even though housing market conditions remain very buoyant, we have been seeing the 12-month trend drifting lower since peaking at 11.5 per cent in April," Mr Lawless said.
"Since the beginning of 2009 we have seen Sydney values increase by approximately 51 per cent, and Melbourne values up by almost 45 per cent … across the state capitals the next highest capital gain over this period has been Perth, where values are up 14.5 per cent.
"When you look back through the cycles of the housing market, the current growth phase isn't as aggressive as that recorded over previous cycles."
According to the RP Data September Hedonic Home Value Index results, home values across Australia's capital cities netted a 2.9 per cent capital gain increase over the third quarter of 2014.
Quarterly capital gains in Sydney were 4.1 per cent, and Melbourne 3.7 per cent. Adelaide posted a 3.1 per cent gain, Brisbane 0.6 per cent, Darwin and Canberra 1.4 per cent, with Perth and Hobart recording a 0.6 per cent and 1.0 per cent decline in capital gains respectively.
Mr Lawless said what concerns him about the Aussie market is the current ratio of housing debt to disposable income has reached a "record level" of 137 per cent, with investor concentrations on inner-city unit markets across Sydney and Melbourne.
"The Reserve Bank has recently highlighted the risks that are becoming more evident in the Sydney and Melbourne housing markets and therefore it is no surprise the Reserve Bank, together with APRA, is now contemplating the likelihood of introducing macro-prudential tools to reduce some of the exuberance in the housing market and rebalance investor demand without having to resort to monetary policy," Mr Lawless said.

Lebanon PM's TV station hit in rocket attack
The television station owned by Lebanon's Prime Minister has been hit by two rockets, setting some studios on fire but causing no injuries.
The head of Future Television says the rockets were launched from a car parked nearby, piercing the walls and exploding inside.
Authorities say they have no idea who was responsible for the attack.
Police have detained more than 30 people in recent weeks in connection with a string of bombings against American-style restaurants and an alleged plot to attack the United States Embassy in Beirut.

Skip to comments.Obama's Eeyore Act (The CIC who can not utter the word "victory")
Posted on 12/02/2009 3:16:45 PM PST by mojito
....What has struck me most about Obama's Afghan enterpriseand his speech did not cause me to alter my viewis how obvious it is that he doesn't really want to do it. He wants to do health care. Obama has tried every delaying trick in the bookwaiting for three months after Gen. McChrystal's request for more troops, having meeting after meeting after meeting, sending Gen. Jones to tell McChrystal not to ask for more troops, having his economic team say it will cost too much, framing the venture in terms of "exit strategies" rather than victory, etc. His ambivalence was on naked display tonight. Can you imagine Churchill delivering a speech like this, one so full of a sense of the limitation of national possibilities? No wonder Hillarywhen the camera panned to herlooked like she needed a drink. No wonder the cadets all looked so depressed. Would you want Eeyore for commander in chief?
(Excerpt) Read more at thedailybeast.com ...
You've nailed it.
Dick Cheney...The Shadow Knows...
"His ambivalence was on naked display tonight."
treachery, not "ambivalence.....the "ambivalence" feigned is just a nice touch of theatrics tossed in for attracting any possible converts, and to mollify his lefties
He also set up the premise he can use to continue blaming Pres. Bush for at least nine more months. He can't get the additional troops there until next June. Or July. Or maybe August.
What can you expect from someone whose world view is closer to Ward Churchill's than Winston Churchill's?
Seems to be very naive. He keeps lining himself up in the sights of both the left and the right on all issues.
Nothing in the middle of the political highway but dead possums.
I believe he is also a coward. I don't agree with him, but worse, I do not respect him. He does not even have courage enough to act on his beliefs.
My biggest issue here is that Eeyore shouldn't be used in such an unfavorable light. Eeyore Rules!
Everything else I agree with.
That is the speech in a perfect nutshell.
Obama is the perfect anti-Reagan. And doesn't it just figure that he would be? Of course the left would foist on us a guy whose greatest skill is demoralizing the nation.
Being one of hundreds of thousands that served in Viet Nam I can tell you what this abomination of a president really said to the troops.
OK people I want 30,000 of you to get on the plane and go eat dirt for get shot at for18 months and whoever is left at that time can come home. Oh, and I dont want to hear any of that "do we get to win" stuff either. I'm smarter than all of you, I won the nobel peace prize, and have deliberated on this for three month. I am a experienced community organizer and Bush screwed the whole thing up anyway. I am the commander and chief now deal with it.... BHO
P.S. this better not screw up nationalizing health care.
My heart breaks for our groups that have to answer this call to nowhere may God protect them because their CIC wont.

The Otaku Stables, located in the Battle Maiden Castle, were the breeding grounds for the greatest horses the Emerald Empire had ever seen, the Utaku steeds. [1]
Appearance Edit
So large were the stables in fact, that they needed their own walls and defensive guard to protect them. The horses there all belonged to the Utaku Battle Maidens, and were bred and trained in the plains around the castle. [1] They were tended by the Hyuga vassal family. [2]
Otaku Stables Burn Edit
In 1131 [2] during a fire in the Otaku Stables, the Stable Master Otaku Kojiro helped his beloved horses to flee, but died in the process. [3] The stables had been burned by the Scorpion Clan commanded by Bayushi Yokuan. [4]

A modified evanescent-wave fiber-optic fluorometer capable of simultaneous signal enhancement and suppression of stray excitation light is examined. Such a capability is achieved by adjusting the shape of a fluorophore sample droplet and regulating the distance separating the exit of the illuminating fiber and an uncladded segment of the receiving fiber, set perpendicular to each other. The effects of sample attenuation and inhomogeneity are also analyzed and evidenced by associated experiments.

Sorry, This Item Is Currently Unavailable
A gorgeously shaped handheld vibe with strategic contours and a velvety silicone contact point, the Bliss is well named, delivering just that.
Order over the phone: Call 1-800-918-6308 Product #: NSN02141BK
Product Description
This firm little massager fits in the palm of your (or your playmates) hand, gliding naturally over external sweet spots and letting you control the pressure and angle with incredible precision.
The firm, body safe plastic material making up the body of the Bliss is accented in the same silky silicone that comprises the spiral textured tip, which nestles deliciously against the clitoris, nipples, head of the penis and more, depending on your specific pleasure pursuit.
Softly glowing LED lights under the interface mirror the vibration, and light your way to the control buttons, which are always within easy reach on the top of the vibe.
There are 10 vibrating functions to choose from, they range from various intensities of steady vibration to unique combinations of pulsation and escalation.
When you've found your favorite, but still want to explore, your last-used mode is only a push away- pressing the up or down button will take you right back.
There's a powerful yet impressively quiet motor at the core of the Bliss, driven by a rechargeable ion battery that keeps the vibe ready for you at all times, even at the highest level of vibration you'll hear just a subtle buzz, so there's no need to worry about housemates, kids or nosy neighbors.
In terms of material, this vibe tips the scale of safety with nonporous ABS plastic and satin smooth silicone that's completely hypoallergenic, extra hygienic, and perfect for anyone with sensitive skin.
Silicone is nonporous and easy to clean, a quick wipe with a good toy cleaner will get the job done, or you can wash your vibe with soap and water.
You'll want to keep your Bliss safe and clean while not in use, storing it away from other silicone toys is a good idea.
As with any silicone product, use a good quality water based lube if required and avoid silicone formulas.

Beavers (Castor canadensis) were once rare in Indiana due to overharvest but are now abundant. In 1935, the Indiana Department of Conservation obtained a few breeding pairs from Wisconsin and released them on Jasper-Pulaski Fish & Wildlife Area. As the population grew, some moved into adjacent counties while others were trapped and released in other parts of the state. Presently, beaver are found in almost every county.
During the 1950s, the principal beaver range was the Kankakee River and Tippecanoe River drainage systems. Now, more than 8,000 miles of flowing water and thousands of acres of lakes and ponds are available in Indiana for beavers.
Beavers have few enemies and predation is limited primarily to man. Because they live in small, isolated colonies and are intolerant of newcomers, disease is not spread and has very little effect in depressing population growth. It is estimated that without control, the beaver population would increase by about one-third each year.
Beavers are strict vegetarians.
Winter foods:
Spring and summer foods:
Due to their small size, lack of rich color, fur coarseness and heavy hide, Indiana beaver lack the qualities sought by the fur industry. Only a small portion of the state harvest is used by furriers. About 30 to 40 percent are used for partially-furred garments such as pieced coats, hats and gloves. Less than 10 percent are used in high-fashion apparel. Demand for Indiana beaver is low and average pelt prices seldom exceed $10. Low prices combined with the amount of time required to properly skin, flesh and stretch the hide produce very little incentive for trappers to trap beaver.
Although beaver harvest has steadily increased, it is not indicative of the economic demand placed upon the resource. Instead, it is in response to the beaver's increasing availability and attempts by landowners to remove nuisance beavers during the legal season. At present, the owner or tenant of any property may take without permit during the closed season any beaver discovered damaging property.
A beaver dam is not where a beaver lives. It is simply a mass of woody debris that may be able to be removed without a permit from the DNR, depending on its location and the equipment to be used. Get an outline of permit requirements. Be sure to obtain permission from the property owner(s) if the dam is on property other than your own

Current discussions of the science of human behavior, cognition, and morality among Christians are often punctuated by a sense of despair. The onslaught of science appears an overwhelming threat to religious teaching on what we are as humans and how we are called to relate to God and the world. Indeed, scientific investigations into these areas have profoundly shaped our modern intuitions about what it is to be human and how we ought to live. But one could argue that the scientific conclusions on what it means to be human represent the lowest-common denominator of human behavior. We can and should hope for something better.
Rather than simply shrugging off scientific investigations on what it means to be human for their potentially low view of human behavior, thought and morality (as many religious folks have), the thinkers that we will hear speak have sought to engage these areas of scientific research and raise the stakes of the discussion. They represent the best re-imagining of what it is to be a Christian in our scientific world by engaging the world and those in it as they are – and not just as we wish them to be. Their dedication to deeply understanding the reality of what it means to be human epitomizes the hope and fullness with which Christ engaged the world.

Welcome! I'm Dr. Jared Hymas, and I think I know why you came to this website. You are likely hurting, and wanting to get out of pain, but you aren't sure who you can trust. Perhaps you are looking for a natural and holistic way of dealing with your pain. Perhaps you are new in town and don't have a chiropractor yet. Or maybe you have been to a chiropractor before and had to sit through two hours of "education" in an attempt to get you to sign up for a multi-thousand dollar care plan.
Whatever your reason for being here let me share with you why you should give Integrity Chiropractic a try:
- The average chiropractor spends 5 minutes or less with their patient. I believe in the value of the Doctor-Patient relationship, which is why you will get nearly three times the amount of face time with the doctor.
- You have no need to worry about being pressured into a long term care plan at Integrity Chiropractic. I am more interested in your health than you wallet.
- More than just adjusting the spine I have been trained in Advanced Muscle Integration Technique (AMIT) which allows me to identify areas of your body that are compensating for weakness.
- In addition I have learned how to give and interpret a functional movement screen (FMS), and have been certified in fascial movement taping (FMT). All of these are tools which allow for me to offer the most complete care possible.
I understand when it comes to your health you want someone who will take care of you and not take advantage of you. By providing world class patient care, and world class client service, Integrity Chiropractic provides an unparalleled experience in health care.
