text: Chalk this Derby up to Orb By Frank Angst May 3, 2013 Story Share LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Seemingly without fail each year, a horse seems to catch the eye of onlookers of morning workouts by horses preparing for the Kentucky Derby.For many years, word of mouth would reinforce the opinions of each person on the backstretch who had witnessed the gallop or workout. These days, that word of mouth quickly spreads around the world thanks to Twitter, Facebook and the like. How fast is this new worldwide word of mouth? I tweeted out a compliment about Derby starter Palace Malice's looks on the track and he Tweeted back to me ... while he was still on the track. My fingers have a hard time selecting the correct letter on my phone; I can't imagine the challenge of getting things right sans digits.While Palace Malice certainly looked good on the track this week, he was not the subject of the most powerful, sustained buzz I've ever witnessed for a Derby horse. The horse who turned heads and sent people to their smart phones to talk about what they'd seen this week is Orb.At one point a friend of mine asked my group of four, "Do any of you like a horse besides Orb?" The answer from all four of us seemed to be "no," which is rare in a sport that typically rewards contrarians (for instance, those who see potential in the 12-1 winner others overlook).This type of buzz often can be a bit silly. After all, a horse can love the track, run his best race, and still not be talented enough to stay within a football field of a more talented winner. But Orb does not fall into that category.Orb has won all three of his starts this season, including a 23/4-length victory in the Florida Derby, each year one of the toughest prep races for the Kentucky Derby. He turned it into his own show, easily defeating Itsmyluckyday, who also will try the 11/4-mile Derby. Yes, this is a horse who already was enjoying a top season and now, based on those morning workouts, has shown he enjoys running on the Churchill Downs surface, which has been known to trip up a talented horse or two.If you're looking for weakness in Orb's trainer, who conditions the horse daily, or Orb's jockey, you'll be searching a long time.Orb is trained by Racing Hall of Famer Shug McGaughey. While McGaughey has not won a Derby, he has won most of racing's other top events. McGaughey is a patient trainer who does not like to rush horses to make the Derby on the first Saturday in May. But Orb has matured on his own and McGaughey has moved forward confident his horse is ready. McGaughey said he's never been more excited about a race. Orb's rider is Joel Rosario, who set a record for wins at this year's prestigious Keeneland Race Course spring meeting. He continued that pace at Churchill Downs, winning five races on opening night.Orb typically comes from behind, but he has shown an ability to stay close to the early leaders if they're going slow, trying to save energy.This year's Derby does not seem to me an especially wide-open affair. Orb enters the race off three straight victories, including two wins in top stakes races at Gulfstream Park in Florida. Verrazano is undefeated in his four career starts, including wins over other Derby starters Normandy Invasion, Vyjack, and Java's War. Orb and Verrazano figure to be two of the favorites this year.Revolutionary has won three straight races, capped by a win in the Louisiana Derby. He will pick up the services of three-time Derby winner Calvin Borel. Verrazano and Revolutionary are two of the five horses top trainer Todd Pletcher will send out today. They will be joined by fast-improving Arkansas Derby (grade I) winner Overanalyze, Palace Malice and Charming Kitten.Yes, many of this year's top horses also boast top trainers and top jockeys. Of course the bad news in picking favorites like Orb means any wagers will not return a whole lot of money, for those who choose to wager. That said, a bet on a long shot that doesn't win returns zero. For this race, I'll take the $9 or $10 payout on a $2 wager on Orb and be happy.The picks:1. Orb; 2. Verrazano; 3. Palace Malice.Former Gazette staff writer Frank Angst is now a staff writer at Blood-Horse magazine.

Mo Williams stood up from tying his shoe.
"Oh, did they?" the Jazz point guard asked.
Then, moments after being told the NBA earlier Wednesday warned Clippers guard Chauncey Billups for flopping against the Jazz on Monday, Williams began to laugh.
Mo Williams stood up from tying his shoe.
"Oh, did they?" the Jazz point guard asked.
Then, moments after being told the NBA earlier Wednesday warned Clippers guard Chauncey Billups for flopping against the Jazz on Monday, Williams began to laugh.
He laughed for seven seconds, until he was asked if the post facto judgment at all eased the pain of a 105-104 loss.
"No, not really," Williams said, before breaking into laughter again and clapping his hands. "Just let me know it was a bad call, that's all."
The bad call in question came with 1:14 remaining Monday. The Jazz had led by as many as 14, but their lead winnowed to 99-97. With Williams running at him, Billups attempted a 3-pointer. Replays showed that as Williams turned to avoid his former teammate, Billups' left arm and leg shot out to draw contact.
Billups was awarded three free throws, making the first two. The Jazz never led again.
"We thought it was a missed call when it happened and it ended up being a missed call," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. "So, what do you do? You move on. You can cry about it all you want, but we can't get it back."
Billups was not fined for the flop because it was his first offense of the season. Under the NBA's first-year policy, the second flop earns a player a $5,000 fine, $10,000 for a third violation, $15,000 for a fourth and $30,000 for a fifth. Further violations would result in more severe fines and a suspension.
Not that it does much for the Jazz, who would have preferred a win.
"It's like Monday morning quarterback," point guard Earl Watson said. "It's too late."
Asked if he would prefer the league try to enforce flops in-game, Corbin said no.
"I think there's enough things to stop the game already," he said. "So it would just be something else."
Vaughn returns
Jacque Vaughn returned to Salt Lake City on Wednesday for the first time as an NBA head coach.
The first-year Magic coach was drafted by the Jazz in 1997, played for Hall of Famer Jerry Sloan and backed up John Stockton.
"Some great friends along the way," said Vaughn, who at 37 is the NBA's youngest current head coach. "I had great veteran guys who I was able to sit next to and see their focus and approach to each game and approach to practice and what it took to survive in this league. I've always said I'm proud of that and I owe those guys."
Vaughn had an impressive lineup of coaches to learn from, including Roy Williams while a collegian at Kansas, and Gregg Popovich with the Spurs, where Vaughn was a player and an assistant. But he had a unique respect for Sloan, who coached Vaughn from 1997-2001.
"Playing for coach Sloan," Vaughn said, "there's a lot of lessons that I still go back to. One of them is that you approach this like a job and you're professional about it."
Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey was an assistant GM with the Spurs before joining Utah this summer and worked closely with Vaughn.
"I'm really thrilled for him," Lindsey said. "I'm thrilled we could play a small part in helping him get to where he wants to be."

Legendary scout Stewart promotes book at Kauffman
KANSAS CITY -- Art Stewart, a legendary figure among Major League scouts, met the media on Thursday at Kauffman Stadium to promote his new book.
His purpose in writing "The Art of Scouting" with Kansas City Star columnist Sam Mellinger was to emphasis the importance of scouts in baseball.
Hall of Fame executive Branch Rickey, Stewart noted, said, "The scouts are the faceless men of baseball. They're the lifeline. Without them, there would be no players to develop, and you wouldn't see these players up in the Major Leagues."
Stewart has sent many players to the Majors in his six decades of scouting.
"When you go out to a game, a lot of people don't realize that every player on that field has been found by a scout," Stewart said. "Whether it's the cornfields of Nebraska ... or a little poverty-stricken town in the Dominican Republic. Some scout found that player. I wanted to really convey what a scout's life is like, their ups and downs, and tell their story."
Stewart tells a lot of his own stories, dating back to being hired as a scout at age 26. He's still going at it for the Royals at age 87.
The book was published by Ascend Books.
"I can't think of a better individual to tell the story of the scout and all the experiences and the passion they have for the game and what they represent than Art," general manager Dayton Moore said.

Exeter City set to provide Friday Night Fever
PUBLISHED: 15:00 12 February 2013 | UPDATED: 15:00 12 February 2013
© All images copyrighted by the owner, Keith Stone
Friday Night Fever is coming to St James Park for the first time since 2007 and Exeter City are hoping to give both regular fans and new ones something to dance about.
The club are playing host to Accrington Stanley in a League Two match which they have rescheduled from its rather more traditional Saturday afternoon kick-off in an attempt to make some of their matches more accessible to supporters who have work commitments at weekends.
Julian Tagg, the club's chief executive, says that they are hoping that the evening's entertainment - there will also be a band outside the main stand before the game kicks off at 7.45pm and post-match entertainment in the bars - will be an antidote to the previous night's Valentine celebrations.
"Valentine's Day is all geared up towards couples - but not everybody is in a relationship," he said. "So we want everyone to come along and fall in love with City, whether they come alone, with friends, their partners or their kids. We're also hoping that by playing on a Friday night that people will come along with their work colleagues - especially all those retail workers who are normally busy on Saturday afternoons. And it gives those who play in local league matches on Saturdays a chance to come and watch City."
John Harvey, the City Centre manager, is delighted the club are actively engaging with the community and says the council is keen to support such initiatives by local businesses.
"Friday fixtures are good news for everyone as it's a real opportunity for people to leave work and then enjoy the ever-growing cafe culture that we have here in the city centre and then go on to the football club. We are also pressing retailers for supporting the idea of extended opening hours and initiatives such as this could really help with that. We want people to enjoy the full range of things on offer here in Exeter so I think it's also important that a wider range of people can go to the match if it's more of an evening out - whole families can go and that's good news for both the city and City if we each get it right."
The game is being played on the first night of half term and the club is hoping that this means more children will come along and experience the special atmosphere which playing under floodlights brings without worrying about getting up for school the next morning - especially with a ticket for under 12s in the Big Bank being just £2 (and under 18s £5).
Paul Tisdale, the Exeter City manager, was also in charge the last time a Friday evening match was played and the memory of that game - a rather unedifying 3-2 defeat after extra time by Ebbsfleet in the Conference Shield - is poignant as the first City goal was scored by the late Adam Stansfield.
"We've come a long way since then - and, of course, tragically lost Adam - but I'm very much looking forward to playing again here on a Friday evening. It's going to be something a bit different and I am hoping it gives people who might not ordinarily get to see Exeter City play a chance to come and experience the atmosphere," he said.
"Evening games always have a different feel to them and as this will be at the start of the weekend - and half term - it should be a great night out for everyone."
Tickets are available from the club reception, online at www.exetercityfc.co.uk or on the gate.

The Vallejo school board has unanimously rescinded five furlough days on Wednesday, restoring the full school calendar and breathing cautious sighs of relief.
"I never liked the furlough idea to begin with. ... It just felt wrong because it was furloughing kids' education. But it was a step we took because it was desperate times," said board member Ward "Ace" Stewart.
The district initially negotiated the furlough days last year with its unions as part of a $5.4 million reserve that prepared for the potential failure of Proposition 30. Passage of the tax hikes was instrumental in Gov. Jerry Brown's budget -- and the prevention of deep cuts to education.
However, voters approved Proposition 30, immediately causing districts across the state to re-evaluate the cuts they had made. Among the first items to be restored tended to be furlough days.
"This was a promise that we made," trustee Adrienne Waterman said.
The district began to take out the five days from employees' paychecks last year in order to cushion the blow. Teachers and classified staff had already taken two furlough days in advance of the November elections, with three more scheduled this semester.
But the board's restoration of the furlough days means the three remaining furloughs are nullified, and the remaining school year lengthened by two days.
The board was also pleased by a report on how Brown's new budget proposal will affect the district.
"This year is going to be a different year," said Lisa Grant-Dawson, the district's chief business officer.
Unlike previous years, Brown's budget doesn't slice education funding and introduces a new "local control funding formula" that could partly reform California's archaic system of education funding.
In that calculation, districts would receive more money for the number of low-income, English language learner and foster children in their student population. The budget proposal would also remove restrictions on funds earmarked for specific programs.
But the state's budget process is in its earliest stages, Grant-Dawson said, warning that changes could require local reworking of the district's spending plan.

Research Interests
My research is in the area of biomechanics; specifically musculoskeletal spine health and the development of low back pain. Of particular interest is the intervertebral disc; the soft tissue found between each of the vertebrae. These discs can become injured as a result of trauma, or gradually as a result of overuse, and the way in which they become damaged changes as we age. My main interests lie in understanding disc herniation and disc degeneration. Disc herniation is often referred to as a slipped disc, budging disc and even sciatica. Degeneration, on the other hand, is a natural progressive breakdown of the disc that can occur simply with age. Clinically, these two injuries can result in significant low back pain due to abnormal tissue loading and potential nerve impingement. My research utilizes both a tissue-based (in vitro) approach as well as a human-based (in vivo) approach.
Specific research questions include:
1) How does the spine become injured?
2) What specific things do we do that increase our risk?
3) How can we prevent or rehabilitate these injuries?

Tunisia (September 14) – The assault on the U.S. embassy in Tunis was orchestrated by a notorious al Qaeda terrorist named Seifallah ben Hassine, aka Abu Iyad al Tunisi. The embassy staff had already been evacuated, but Hassine's mob ransacked American property, including cars and a school.
Hassine is the leader of Ansar al Sharia Tunisia. The Ansar al Sharia brand, as explained above, is being used by al Qaeda-linked groups in Libya, Yemen, and elsewhere.
Hassine was released from a Tunisian prison in 2011, after being convicted in 2003 of belonging to an al Qaeda-affiliated group. In 2000, Hassine co-founded the Tunisian Combatant Group (TCG). According to the United Nations, the TCG was created "in coordination with" al Qaeda.
Hassine reportedly met with both Osama bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahiri prior to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Two days prior to the attacks, on September 9, 2001, two Tunisian assassins killed Northern Alliance leader Ahmed Shah Massoud. The assassins were supplied with forged passports by another senior TCG member. The hit on Massoud was an integral part of al Qaeda's 9/11 plot as it removed a key American ally, and an enemy of the Taliban and al Qaeda, from the battlefield before the fight for Afghanistan even began.

PLACARD-waving protestors voiced their opposition to HS2 during a parish meeting in Pickmere attended by George Osborne.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer visited the meeting on Friday, February 7 to field questions about the Government's proposed £42 billion railway.
The preferred route of the high speed line is due to cut a path through Pickmere, as well as affecting eleven different parishes in the High Legh ward served by borough councillor Steve Wilkinson.
Mr Wilskinson attended the meeting alongside leader of Cheshire East Council, Michael Jones, and heard the concerns of Pickmere residents and those within the 'cluster group' of parishes whose houses and businesses are due to be affected by the railway line.
Ewan Simpson from Mid Cheshire Against HS2 said: "It was a successful, peaceful protest. We were pleased with how it went as there were people representing other anti HS2 groups who came along."

Id like someone in the middle of the two, not a control freak but not someone that lets the cannons fire at will.
Yes everything is "sunshiny"
If you can't love the one you want, love the one you're with.
Actually prefer a less micromanaged team, so I went with JOB, who I think is doing well considering the injuries and lack of a strong offensive post threat. (And, no, I don't want JO back, so don't post that poll. )
Doug, your post is everything I wanted to say when battling everyone that just wants to look at the "tip of the iceberg". Obie is doing a fine job for this rebuilding project.
...Still "flying casual"
I'll throw more support to Doug's post.
Yep. Someone in between would be quite nice, but knowing this board it wouldn't take them long to find something to pick at.
[QUOTE=Unclebuck;827629]I like them both a lot.
I do laugh now that so many think Rick is a great coach, where were many of you two and thre years ago[/QUOTE
Who you don't like?
I've seen you complain and complain and complain about O'Brien on this forum in the last few days but you've never really explained why. So yeah, I'm calling you out, give me a detailed explanation of what you don't like about JOB. Basketball is the man's profession and I don't know about you but I wouldn't want someone throwing one liners to me about my job unless they had some sort of legitimate substance to back it up.

Hey, he might be 14. Is PD an over-21 site or something...
I think the question has some legitimacy when you consider the contrast in the style between the coaches. IMO, their styles are polar opposites...and usually people tend to favor one of the two. But of course it is always more complicated.
Maybe the personnel, their level of development, the circumstances of the franchise, etc. dictates that we have a certain type of coach. But some of that goes beyond what is happening on the basketball court and even in practice. I think JOb's greatest value is what he brings as a manager in terms of how he manages PR and the discipline and respect he demands. At this stage, that might be best for the team even if watching games requires a little maalox for some of us.
Are you trying to tell me that just because I disagree with Administration I'm not going to win many friends in this forum? are you kidding me? this is an open forum for a reason, this is a place to communicate even if you agree or disagree.
Regarding JOB I already said that he is not a good coach, but at this time I know the pacers are not going to the playoffs and I know he is giving the pacers the best chance to get a good lottery pick. People complain about Rick play call(I don't like Rick) but JOB calls every single play too, he is not the coach of the future, but he is the coach for the now(lottery).
NOTE: call down dcpacersfan, this is just a forum I am also older than you.

He's talking about HOW you're speaking to him.
Wait, did you say Jim calls every play like Rick did?
Jim doesn't call the play often at all. The whole point of his offense is that it's meant to be random. Calling a set play would defeat the point, which is why O'Brien doesn't often do that.
Read my Pacers blog:
Follow my twitter:
Frankly I don't think either coach is right for this team. If I had to pick one, I'd pick Carlisle, even when we lost, it was never because he made wrong decisions. As I said though, I don't think he'd be a good coach for this team. Ideally, I think Avery Johnson would be a perfect coach for us, if we wanted to try a rookie coach I'd take Mark Jackson.
I agreed, at the same time I think that Rick could have a better record with this team, do you guys remember what he did after the brawl? with not players he got them to the playoffs, I don't like Rick but I still think they could have a better record and we could also see a better set play for Roy in the post just like he did when JO was here, JOB just does not care to play rookies and he only makes plays for PG at the end of games remember JT play calls last year?
I was thinking the other day, I don't believe O'Brien has ever coached a legitiment post threat. I'm wondering if he can make an adjustment to the post game, because the only decent big hes had in his past(that I am aware of) is Antoine Walker, who is more of a Murphy like player.
I loved most of what Rick did from a coaching standpoint. He worked to limit turnovers. He slowed down the offense and focused on shutting down the other team on D. The only bone was throwing it into JO too much. Rick would be a better coach if he had JOb's personality.
BTW, there's a reason why Rick is coaching the Dallas Mavericks. I don't think a scrub coach would have landed that gig. He has coached some very good franchises in the NBA (Detroit, Indiana, Dallas) and his record speaks for itself.
Good thought.
And I won't be here to see the day
It all dries up and blows away
I'd hang around just to see
But they never had much use for me

Do you realize you are saying you have the right to call out a poster for their reasons, but no one has the right to UB's reasons, due to him being Admin?

Related story: Retired Ontario teacher arrested for child sex abuse
RANCHO CUCAMONGA — The case against a retired Ontario-Montclair School teacher accused of committing lewd acts with two children has been dropped after the court determined the man died in custody.
Gary Randall Schan, 62, was scheduled for a preliminary hearing Tuesday at the West Valley Superior Courthouse in Rancho Cucamonga. But according to court records, Deputy District Attorney Jason Anderson confirmed Schan's death and the case was dismissed.
The defendant was pronounced dead on March 10 in the jail ward of the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, officials said. At that time he was in custody at West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.
About two months earlier, on Jan. 7, Schan jumped from the top tier of a housing unit, said Jodi Miller, San Bernardino County sheriff spokeswoman.
"Schan sustained serious head injuries and was immediately transported to the hospital. He remained in the hospital in critical condition, receiving treatment for his injuries," until he died, Miller said.
An in-custody death investigation is being conducted, Miller added, and the Riverside County Coroner's office performed an autopsy.
Schan was arrested on Nov. 3 after one of his alleged victims reported he had inappropriately touched her while they were alone at his Ontario home. At the time of the incident, the victims, a boy and a girl relative, were 8 and 12 years old.
He previously pleaded not guilty to six counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child, according to court records.Schan retired about five months before he was arrested. He had worked for the Ontario-Montclair School District as a teacher and a substitute teacher for 35 years.

BENICIA -- For his dedication in running the library's monthly book sale for 17 years, Ron Arrants has been named "Volunteer of the Year" in Benicia.
Arrants, 70, accepted the honor at Tuesday's City Council meeting -- something the good-natured, longtime Benician said he planned to do rather modestly.
"It's a nice honor, but I'll certainly accept it on behalf of all those who work here," Arrants said last week. He has been volunteering for the Friends of the Benicia Library since 1996.
In 2010, Arrants created the Friends' "bookstore," an area of the library designed to make used books available for purchase during open hours.
Those sales have complemented the monthly book sales, which have generated more than $700,000 for library programs over the past 20 years.
"Last fiscal year we donated $70,000," said Arrants, a former Benicia High School principal who later worked 20 years for Pacific Bell.
"We are continually growing," he said of the sales. "I think a lot of it is because of word of mouth. We get people from all over the Bay Area."
The sale is held the second Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the library's basement. It features tens of thousands of donated books and other materials to chose from.
Members-only sales are held on preceding Thursdays, from 6 to 8 p.m.
Arrants relies on a team of volunteers to sort the books by author or subject. The volunteers also organize a new arrivals section and a "last chance" discount area area where books cost only 25 cents each -- or $2 per bagful.
Those who work with Arrants give him credit for keeping the operation running smoothly -- from coordinating the work of volunteer sorters to picking up thousands of donated books each year from elderly residents.
Under his leadership, annual sales have grown from $13,403 to $61,560. And nearly every penny has been donated to the library, Arrants said.
"He just kind of does everything," Benicia Public Library Director Diane Smikahl said. She added that Arrants often arrives at the library at 7:45 a.m. to help receive, move and sort donations and restock the book-sale area. "He's a pleasure to work with."
Friends' vice president Nancy Mahoney noted, "He's so efficient and conscientious. He deserves all the accolades ... but he doesn't do it for the glory."
Arrants' ties to the community run deep. A resident since 1965, he worked at Benicia High for 15 years, serving as principal from 1974 to 1980. Following a career change, he retired from Pacific Bell in 2000.
He's also served two terms on the planning commission and two terms on the library board.
As he approached retirement, Arrants said he started looking around for more things to occupy his time.
"The Friends of the Library was something I was interested in, so when they started having book sales and needed someone ... they asked me if I would be interested," Arrants said. "So I worked on them for a while ... and lo and behold I became chairman (of the book sales). It was just one of those things."
A former history teacher, Arrants said he also volunteers as a docent for the USS Potomac, a museum ship berthed at Jack London Square in Oakland that was formerly Franklin Delano Roosevelt's presidential yacht.
"I'm a Roosevelt buff," he said. "That was my specialty in college -- the New Deal."
He added he even makes time to volunteer at Winterhawk Winery in Fairfield, pouring wine.
But when it comes to the library, Arrants said he loves the company.
"It's a good social opportunity," he said of the book sales. "I even get former students coming in ... if they call me 'Mr.,' I know they had be a former student."

There certainly seems to be a consensus on a couple of things when it comes to free agent Josh Hamilton.
1. Hamilton might the best athlete and most talented player in baseball.
2. There is no way a team will give him a seven-year contract.
A seven-year deal with an average annual value of $25 million is reportedly what Hamilton's starting point will be when negotiations start with any team, including his former team, the Texas Rangers. While Hamilton's side hasn't confirmed those figures, they seem to be realistic for a player of his ilk.
More: Rangers Hot Stove report | Hunter in mix? | Napoli's versatility valuable
The money doesn't seem to be the issue. In this market, a player capable of putting up the kind of numbers Hamilton is capable of posting is worth that kind of change.
Over the last three seasons with the Rangers, the 31-year-old Hamilton—he'll be 32 in May—averaged a .313/.370/.538 line with a .952 OPS, 33 home runs, 107 RBIs and a 146 OPS-plus. And over the last three offseasons, players who produce comparable numbers have landed contracts for seven to 10 years and anywhere from $180 million to $254 million.
That won't be the case for Hamilton.
"I don't really see that being realistic," one American League general manager said last week at the GM meetings in Indian Wells, Calif. "Too many risks."
"Is that (the length) he's asking for?" said another AL GM, playing a little ignorant. "Wow. Well, if that's what he ends up getting, good for him."
That same GM was asked if he'd be shocked if Hamilton landed his desired seven years.
"You could say that," he responded with a laugh.
It isn't necessarily a surprise that these executives feel this way, as do many others. When Hamilton's free agency was looming last month, it became clear quickly that teams would not be willing to go long with Hamilton, although the money would be available on a shorter deal.
The Rangers say they haven't discussed contract parameters with Hamilton but plan to get the process going this week. A USA Today report last week said the Rangers wouldn't go beyond a three-year deal. The team has also said it wouldn't come right out and make Hamilton an offer, opting to let the market price play out before it steps in.
If you believe that last statement, then team CEO Nolan Ryan all but confirmed that the team is done with Hamilton.
"I don't think you can sit around and say, 'We have to wait and see what happens with Josh,'" Ryan said Wednesday at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. "We'll get a feel here shortly where we think that might be going, but also we have to be out there seeing what opportunities are out there, whether there's opportunities to improve the club.
"If you sit back and wait, you might miss an opportunity you might regret or feel like you could have done something and didn't get it done."
Well, well, well. Very interesting.
The Rangers have said they want to wait to make an offer for Hamilton, whose free agency is likely to take a while to play out. Then they say they can't wait for long before going in another direction.
Before we get into why the Rangers might be done with Hamilton, let's remember that they have a history of making initial low-ball offers to their free agents. So the reported three-year limit could be a ploy and a purposeful leak.
Now, if the Rangers really don't want to go beyond three years and if they really would rather go after another outfielder, it would be completely understandable.
Last season a source within the team told me certain club officials were frustrated with Hamilton's refusal to adapt to how he was being pitched in June and July when he hit .202 in 47 games, leading to Ryan calling him out publicly. Then there have been his occasional public spats with coaches and concerns about his lack of focus on the field from time to time—his misplayed fly ball in Game 162 in Oakland last month is the most recent and glaring example.
Then there are the injuries, both the typical and the odd. Whether it's a hamstring, a shoulder, headaches, an intestinal virus or blurred vision because of ingesting too many Red Bulls, Hamilton is prone to missing games. He's averaged 123 a season since 2009.
Another red flag went up last week when Rangers reliever Mike Adams told Sirius XM's MLB Network Radio about Hamilton: "He's a different guy sometimes. Every day you hope that Josh comes to the ballpark, shows up and plays like Josh Hamilton. Sometimes he shows up, and you don't know which Josh Hamilton is going to show up at the ballpark."
Part of that comment stems from Hamilton's focus, partly from his injuries and definitely from his biggest day-to-day issue—his addiction to drugs and alcohol.
Hamilton might not currently be putting those harmful substances into his body as you read this, but as a recovering addict, it is always a reality that Hamilton could fall back into his old ways. We've been reminded of that with two public relapses, the most recent happening last January. It's entirely possible Hamilton has had more than just those two "moments of weakness," as he called his latest slip. It's also possible that the Rangers know of more than those two.
It's because of all these risks that the Rangers aren't alone in their concerns. Every team has them. Some are more willing to push them to the side to sign Hamilton because of the numbers he's capable of putting up. But it's as close to certain that they won't push them completely off the table and give Hamilton anything more than five guaranteed years.
Hamilton comes with more attached responsibilities than any other free agent, maybe in the game's history. He comes with instructions, like the little monsters in the movie "Gremlins." The Rangers assigned him an "accountability coach" in the past to make sure Hamilton behaved off the field, and if you're investing so much money in a guy, whatever team signs him had better follow a similar plan to make sure he can make it to the yard every day.
No one understands these responsibilities better than the Rangers. If they truly have had enough of Hamilton, that should give other teams pause, as should the fact that the Rangers aren't being overly aggressive in their effort to re-up Hamilton by mid-November.
Hamilton's elite-level production set his monetary value. His past, injuries, age and mental concerns set a low bar for everything else.

The Wicked Witch of the Middle East is confirmed dead.
Meanwhile, publishers and agents are bracing for a flood of memoirs from people who had nothing to do with the mission and thriller proposals that are sure to sell because Bin Laden is dead. In other news, the fringes of the Tea Party are promising a flurry of bestsellers combining total misunderstanding of events and rage. Our favorite so far is the "Death Certificate" conspiracy: "If Obama can't provide an unimpeachable long form death certificate for Bin Laden, then the unelected terrorist leader isn't qualified to be dead."
Thank you for your attention. We will now return to more news and information about the publishing industry.

Ben joins my hometown club, Bayern Munich, which I think is pretty awesome.
I live in Berlin at the moment, but plan to move back to Munich at the end of the year.
Those of you who are interested in soccer might have heard of Bayern Munich, it's the most succesful soccer club in Germany and one of the most prestigious in Europe.
I'd say they are in soccer what the Knicks, Celtics or Lakers are in the NBA.
However, they've never had a good basketball club but some years ago they started a project to make Bayern Munich not only the best soccer team but also the best basketball address in Germany.
They moved to a new arena and spent loads of money in the roster, hiring a couple of players as well as the Head Coach of the German National Team.
Furthermore, they made no secret of their intentions in bringing back Dirk (Munich is the capital of his hometown state), either during a lockout season or for the time after his NBA career.
I'm sure Ben earns good money there...gonna be an interesting year.

Bayern Munich is a huge organization. Very nice deal for Ben. I'd honestly rather play there than as a minimum player on a crappy NBA team.

Heidi Klum and Seal Announce Divorce
A Look Back at Heidi Klum and Seal's Most Stylish Couple Moments
A Look Back at Heidi Klum and Seal's Most Stylish Couple Moments
We're sad to hear that Heidi Klum and Seal will be separating after almost seven years of marriage. The supermodel and musician couple married in 2005 and have four kids. As a tribute to their amazing years together, we culled some of their most stylish moments on the red carpet. No doubt, the two were a force to be reckoned with in front of the cameras. Heidi and Seal loved pairing together red and black combinations in addition to shimmery metallics (on Heidi) and sleek suits (on Seal). Also, who could forget their crazy, cool Halloween costumes?

"Realistic" Mania 29 Prediction Card Proper
by, 11-29-2012 at 07:22 PM (8917 Views)
Pre-show Battle Royale
Tensai, Zach Ryder, Tyson Kidd, The Great Khali, Alex Riley, JTG, Hunico, Curt Hawkins, Ezekiel Jackson, Trent Barreta, Yoshi Tatsu, Michael McGillicutty, Justin Gabriel, Ted DiBiase, Hornswoggle, Brodus Clay, Mason Ryan, Evan Bourne, R-Truth, Fandango
Winner: Fandango
The perennial "let's get everyone on the roster in a Mania match" preshow battle royale. Perhaps a couple surprising names here, but as you will see, this is pretty much a stacked Mania card.
How we got here: None needed.
Likelyhood: Take it to the bank.
MATCH #1: WWE Tag Team Championship 6-team Tornado Elimination Match
Kane & Daniel Bryan (C) vs Cody Rhodes & Damian Sandow vs Jey and Jimmy Uso vs Darren Young & Titus O'Neil vs Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara vs Primo & Epico
Winner and new Tag Team Champs: Cody Rhodes & Damian Sandow
Exactly what it looks like - a clusterbomb match with all of the tag teams involved in a tornado-style match. The final three men in the matchup (Kane, Damian Sandow, and Titus O'Neil) get taken out by a vengeful 3MB (Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Drew McIntyre) for not being involved on the card (ref bump, or make it no-DQ). In the aftermath, O'Neil manages to pin Kane, then suffers from a well-timed Cross Rhodes giving the Rhodes Scholars the victory.
How we got here: None needed.
Likelyhood: Unlikely, but why not?
MATCH #2: Bare-knuckle Brawl Match
William Regal vs Wade Barrett
Winner: Wade Barrett
This match will serve similarly for Barrett as Edge's match against Mick Foley at Mania 22 - albeit without the flaming table and bloodshed (unfortunately). As you'll see down the card with the scenarios I lay out, Barrett shouldn't suffer from not being in a main-event match and since he's on the rise, a match like this could serve to do him wonders. Expect a ton of physicality and a good buildup from Regal as this would likely be his swan song - unless he pulls out a heroic performance which could give him a rub towards being in the WHC picture later in the year (fanboys wetdream, eh?). Either way, Barrett emerges, barely, in what will be known as his signature match for years.
How we got here: Not needed.
Likelyhood: Decent
MATCH #3: Attraction Match
Sheamus vs Mark Henry
Winner: Mark Henry
I think with Henry back, built up again to be an unstoppable monster, could be a good opportunity for a decent match between Henry and Sheamus in the undercard of Mania. Doesn't give Sheamus much to do, but they could begin a rivarly here that escalates into the upper card of post-Mania PPV's - ending up with one or both of them back in the WHC hunt.
How we got here: See WHC match.
Likelyhood: Decent
MATCH #4: World Heavyweight Championship
Randy Orton (C) vs Dolph Ziggler vs The Miz
Winner and new Champion: The Miz
Went back and forth with all the possible permutations here and had several different matches in mind. However, it does seem that Orton is going to be in the title hunt soon, whether face or heel, and coming into Mania as champion and losing would seem to be a good way to begin the heel process - perhaps even feuding with a face Miz post-Mania. As explained below, after Orton defeats Ziggler in the SD EC match, Miz announces he wants to face Orton being the winner of the 2013 Rumble. Of course, Ziggler wants his return match after facing 5 other men and a returning Henry at EC, so we have a triple threat return in a main event of Mania. Two "future cornerstones" against the vet Orton - should be an exciting matchup.
How we got here: TLC - Sheamus beats Show, Ziggler cashes, Ziggler new champ; RR: Ziggler v Show vs Sheamus, Ziggler retains, Miz wins Rumble; EC: Chamber match for WHC, Mark Henry returns, lays out Sheamus. Ziggler uses distraction to pin Sheamus, then eats an RKO from Orton who pins Ziggler.
Likelyhood: Decent
MATCH #5: Attraction Tag Team Match
Christian, Kofi Kingston, Santino Marella vs Alberto Del Rio, Antonio Cesaro, David Otunga
Winner: Christian, Kofi Kingston, Santino Marella
Filler, filler, and more filler. Did I mention filler? Six guys who will likely be on the outside looking in as far as the upper card goes, and with so much to follow and a decent mix of talent here, could be better than it sounds.
How we got here: None needed.
Likelyhood: Decent
Match #6: Loser Retires Forever Match
Triple H vs Brock Lesnar
Winner: Brock Lesnar
The two premier matches below pretty much leave this match as the only possibility for these two, and at least gives closure on what is sort of an open wound to this rivalry. Now, they've got quite a bit of work to do to rebuild this matchup, as at least in my opinion, they destoyed quite a bit of potential with their lackluster match at Summerslam. The build for this would be similar to HBK's final match and gives the proper stage and feel for H's final in-ring performance. However, for this to work, I want to see what I thought I was going to see at SS - Bane vs Batman type brutality. I want to feel like H, who comes in in tip-top shape, musters all he can but simply cannot overcome the brute physicality of Lesnar. It puts Lesnar back over as a dominant heel destoyer rather than the sniveling crying Lesnar who quits every other week and gives the next year of Lesnar (probable since I can't see how he wouldn't go for another year at his previous money/workload) as something we have to see. I don't H will mind putting Lesnar over in his farewell match as long as Lesnar signs for another year or two, especially with Mania 30 looming next year.
How we got here: Could happen a multitude of ways - could be as simple as H coming out to make an announcement and Lesnar interferes, or he calls him out. Or Lesnar returns at the RAW after the Rumble and starts the roll towards Mania.
Likelyhood: Perhaps
MATCH #7: Attraction Match
Big Show vs Ryback
Winner: Ryback
As has been reported lately, this matchup would give Ryback a little bit of a needed infusement after his couple of title matches in the latter stages of 2013. Not much else to say, but seems to be a good bet in happening.
Summary: Meh...haha.
Likelyhood: Probable
MATCH #8: Streak Match
Undertaker vs CM Punk
Winner: Undertaker
It's a fresh matchup for the Deadman and obviously high profile. There would even be some that would undoubtedly think that Punk has a shot to end the streak. The lead-up as explained below keeps Taker fresh until EC, and then the 5-week build to Mania really begins. Punk's attitude and defiance against the mainstay that is the Undertaker. In one man's opinion, this match could easily be one of the best in Mania history.
How we got here: As somewhat explained below until EC, although there would be subtle hints in the lead-up to EC that would "pay off" at the PPV. EC - Punk vs Rock, Taker's gong hits, lights go out while Rock is down. Taker tombstones Punk, disappears. Rock wonders what happened, sees Punk down, reluctantly pins him.
Likelyhood: Probable
MATCH #9: Random Diva's Match (aka Bathroom Break)
AJ, Eve, Aksana, Alicia Fox, Kaitlyn, Layla, Natalya, Rosa Mendes, Tamina Snuka, maybe Vicki Guerrero.
Winner: Our bladders
No clue here. Hopefully something with kickstart a decent woman's feud. Perhaps something around Eve, Tamina, AJ, and Vicki. Either way, all of them will likely be involved in some form or fashion. I wish these Diva Mania matches mattered, but sadly, they haven't really since Mickie James vs. Trish Stratus at Mania 22.
How we got here: None needed.
Likelyhood: 1,000,000%
MATCH #10: WWE Championship
The Rock (C) vs John Cena
Winner and new WWE Champion: John Cena
After running through several different scenarios, this one seems the most likely centering around the WWE Title. CM Punk was the beneficiary of a historical run with the title, surpassing Cena's modern-day record run. But there's little doubt that Rocky is going to have his title match at the Rumble and not lose. The question on everyone's mind is how long would Rock hold the strap, since his schedule around this time will be hectic to say the least. However, I see this as Rock's swan song, and as such, I don't think he will mind being champ and promoting WWE while promoting GI JOE and continuing to work on other projects.
As far as performing at the Elimination Chamber, I'd say if the Rumble winner (Miz) goes for the WHC, the RAW Chamber match would be for the right to face the WWE Champion at Mania - leaving Rock a one-on-one return matchup against Punk. Here is where Punk's Mania course takes off (more below), giving Rock a somewhat tainted win, but gets him through to Mania against the Chamber winner - one John Cena. You have to think that with Rock winning at Mania 28, there was a plan in place for him to return the favor, with the title, cementing Cena as this era's #1 guy. Like it or not, it's a great way for Rock to put Cena over, and brings his 3-year return full circle.
How we got here: TLC - Punk retains; RR - Rock wins title; EC - Cena wins RAW Chamber, Rock beats Punk to retain
Likelyhood: Probable
Only current roster members not on card: Jack Swagger, Camacho
Swagger could be the repackaged returner on the next night's RAW, while Camacho I though was on his way out. Stick him in the pre-show Royale is he's still around.
Special note: Bet your bottom dollar that The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns) will be involved high-profile in some way. They probably won't have a match, but they might get involved in Punk's match, or maybe even a couple matches on the card.
Took a while to come up with this one, so I'm eager to hear thoughts. Hope you enjoyed it and who knows - maybe some of it will happen.

HOUSTON - A high school tennis coach has been accused of having a sexual relationship with a student.
Taylor McClain, 43, was charged with sex assault of a child under 17 years old and possession of child pornography.
According to court records, a student said she was in a vehicle with McClain, who was her Atascocita High School tennis coach, and a 16-year-old fellow student on Oct. 20 after a tennis fundraiser. The student said she saw the 16-year-old female perform a sex act on the coach during the drive, court documents said.
When the three arrived at a haunted house, the witness said the 16-year-old texted her and asked if she wanted to join in a threesome with her and McClain, according to court records. The witness texted back, saying "no."
On the ride home, the witness said the coach asked her to drive while he got in the back seat with the 16-year-old. She said she could hear them having sex, according to the documents.
The witness said she has seen nude photographs of the 16-year-old that the girl sent to the coach numerous times between September and November.
Investigators said they found 20 images of a child under 18 years old engaged in sexual conduct on the coach's cellphone. Officials said some of the pictures included the victim.
McClain resigned from his position at Atascocita High School on Nov. 9.
Parents were shocked at the allegations.
"I think they need to go back and see who they're hiring," said Tammy Drake.
McClain's lawyer called it a misunderstanding by the girl who went to police.
"I have good reason to doubt there was any sexual activity between my client and the student in question," defense attorney Paul Houston LaVille said.
He said Humble ISD police used "Gestapo" tactics on McClain's family while investigating the case.
McClain surrendered to police Wednesday and was released on a $60,000 bond. He could face up to life in prison if convicted.
Humble ISD released the following statement.
"Humble ISD has zero-tolerance for inappropriate relationships between teachers and students. The district cooperates with law enforcement for the safety and welfare of our students. Taylor McClain resigned Nov. 9 amid the district's investigation of allegations of a sexual relationship with a female student. Humble ISD took the additional step of informing the State Board for Educator Certification of the investigation, and his teaching certificate was sanctioned. Taylor McClain began as a Tennis Coach and an English teacher at Atascocita High School in August 2010."

Red Beet Eggs
Pickled eggs are bright in both color and flavor. Pickling firms the whites of the hard boiled egg, transforming them into something tangy and substantial. The finished eggs are good eaten on their own, or chopped into a vibrantly colored salad and make a terrific addition to any springtime table.
This recipe is adapted from the one posted several years ago on A Chicken in Every Granny Cart.
About the author: Marisa McClellan is a food writer, canning teacher, and dedicated pickler who lives in Center City Philadelphia. Find more of her jams, pickles and preserves (all cooked up in her 80-square-foot kitchen) at her blog, Food in Jars. Her first book, also called Food in Jars, will be published by Running Press in May 2012.
- Yield:makes 1 quart
- Active time: 20 minutes
- Total time:48 hours
- 8 hardboiled eggs, peeled
- 1 cup canned pickled red beets (with their liquid)
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 cloves
Place peeled hard boiled eggs in a quart-sized mason jar (or any other heatproof container of similar size).
In a medium saucepan, combine pickled beets, apple cider vinegar, water and brown sugar. Heat until it just comes to a boil.
Place the cinnamon sticks and cloves into the jar with the eggs. Carefully pour the pickling liquid and beet slices into the jar with the eggs. Tap the jar to help loosen any air bubbles. Use a long, skinny spatula to ease out any remaining air bubbles. Place a lid on the jar. Once it has cooled to room temperature, refrigerate. Let pickles rest at least 48 hours before eating.

Breast Implants
Was this photo helpful? {{ voteCount + ' other' + (voteCountOthers == 1 ? '' : 's') }} found this helpful
This 36-year-old mother of three lost all of her breast volume after pregnancy and wanted to find out whether plastic surgery after pregnancy could help her regain her shape. After breast-feeding three children for 10 months each, she found that her breast size had dropped to a 34A, small even for her slim 120 lb frame. Following her procedure, this patient gained two cup sizes and now wears a 34 C size bra. Her breasts, as seen in the photos, now appear full and perky, and balance her slim body very well. Her scars are still a little dark, but should fade nicely within the first year after her surgery. Patient Age: 36 Patient Gender: Female Implant Placement: Submuscular

I am going for my first retreat in the Goenka Vipassana tradition next month at the Dhamma Atala centre in Italy. Since I have been doing Anapanasati practice on my own, without any hands-on guidance, will it be an obstruction or cause difficulties in the retreat? I would appreciate it if people can advise me from their own experience of Goenka retreats.

Indians designate McAllister for assignment
CLEVELAND -- The Indians remain hopeful that Zach McAllister can still return to the strong form he displayed earlier this season. Clearly, however, they do not feel the right-hander's current problems can be addressed at the Major League level.
The club designated McAllister for assignment on Friday with the intention of eventually optioning him to Triple-A Columbus. With a new waiver period now in effect following Thursday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, the Indians need to wait two days in order to secure the 26-year-old's optional waivers and remove him from the 25-man roster, since it has been more than three years since his Major League debut (July 7, 2011). In essence, the transaction accomplishes the same as if the Indians had simply optioned McAllister to Columbus outright.
Regardless of technicalities, the move was a difficult one for the young pitcher to accept.
"We talked to Zach for probably an hour," Tribe manager Terry Francona said. "A lot of it was just trying to understand with young players, pitchers -- sometimes they want to be so good so bad that they lose track of how to get there. They want to stay in the Majors so bad -- as opposed to, 'How am I going to help our team win?'"
The Indians are expected to make another roster move on Saturday so that left-hander T.J. House (1-2, 4.50 ERA) can return from Columbus to make his scheduled start against the Rangers.
McAllister returns to the Minors after posting a 2.23 ERA across six starts with Columbus earlier this season, which came in the wake of a stay on the 15-day disabled list due to back soreness. His July 12 return to the Cleveland rotation began with promise, as he allowed just four runs in a combined 12 1/3 innings through his first two starts, but he has since struggled to locate his fastball and has gone no deeper than four innings in each of his past two outings.
"Baseball's a games of ups and downs, but you want to be as consistent as possible," said McAllister, who is 0-4 with a 9.88 ERA over his last seven outings. "Any time you put together a couple good starts and then have these two that I was obviously not happy with, it's not very fun to go through. But it's what you're able to do between starts that'll allow you to bounce back."
Francona mentioned McAllister's confidence when asked what was ailing his starting pitcher, and he believes further time in lower-pressure situations could help get the tall righty back on track.
"I think it's very important that he starts to pitch in Triple-A and not feel like he's on an island, not feel like he's alone doing it himself," Francona said.

A slight afternoon bounce took the market off the midday lows but it wasn't enough to push it into the green. Again, it was flat action with little volatility. A few names like Netflix (NFLX), Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR), Edwards Lifesciences (EW), Big Lots (BIG) and First Solar (FSLR) were chased, but most were extended and that didn't make for easy entries if you weren't already in.
I've been complaining lately about how few opportunities there are in this market and, unfortunately, it looks like that is likely to continue. It is pinned down by this fiscal cliff debate and that is not going to go away for a while. On one hand, the market is optimistic that a deal will eventually be made but on the other hand, no one really believes there is going to be a real solution.
I'm hearing more concern among traders that a fiscal cliff deal may not be the catalyst for a major market ramp. The high level of market optimism about a fiscal cliff deal may actually create a sell-the-news setup. It is premature to worry about that now, but the more the market acts as if a fiscal cliff deal will solve all problems, the more concerned I am that the opposite may occur.
For now, I'm going to stay in very short-term trading mode and I have no plans to carry much inventory. It isn't my preferred method of trading, but in the current environment, I see few other viable alternatives. This is the time to grind out the trades rather than go for the home run.
Have a good evening. I'll see you tomorrow.
