Simulation predicts Kentucky to beat Connecticut in the 2014 National Championship

Create Your Own NCAA Dream Team
A seven and eight seed will square off Monday night in Dallas with a national championship on the line. Despite the seeds, the game is void of any Cinderella storyline, as both Connecticut and Kentucky are among the most successful programs in college basketball, and both proved their merit in their respective routes to Dallas. Will John Calipari's freshman prevail or will Shabazz Napier and the Huskies carry the day?
Using our college basketball simulation engine, we "played" Connecticut vs. Kentucky 1,001 times to predict the game's outcome. The Wildcats were victorious in 53.5 percent of simulations, outscoring the Huskies 69.7-69.1.

We also selected a sample boxscore from our 1,001 simulations. In the sample game, Kentucky won 72-68, led by 16 points from Aaron Harrison. Julius Randle chipped in a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds, while James Young and Alex Poythress also scored in double figures.
Napier had an off-night for Connecticut, making just three of 13 attempts on his way to 14 points. He did add seven assists and seven rebounds though. Ryan Boatright totaled 19 points for the Huskies.
Both teams struggled to score, with Kentucky making 38.3 percent of its baskets and UConn not much better at 38.6 percent. The Wildcats enjoyed a significant advantage on the boards, outmuscling Connecticut for a 45-31 edge in rebounds.
The national championship is Kentucky's second in three years. Of the current roster, only walk-ons Jarrod Polson and Brian Long logged minutes two seasons ago.
For the Huskies, the game marks their first loss in four title game appearances. Connecticut won national championships in 1999, 2004 and 2011.

And simplifying again. Well -- that's my schtick.
Can't go wrong with an International No Symbol. Thought the symbol was strong enough to not use a headline and just go for a subhead.
Swiped a photo off the Internet for the bread. Don't know what kind of photography budget there is for Vue Weekly, but I'd hope there would be a couple dollars to cover a stock photo.
Going big for the white space. I maintain that white is the best color for most of a printed cover. It's the brightest color you can get, so I might as well use it.

Halle Berry's cleavage took center stage when the "X-Men" star sat down with Jay Leno on Monday night.
Clad in a black-and-silver Reem Acra number, the 46-year-old actress talked cars, clothes and James Bond with the microphone draped over her shoulder (we can only assume there was no place to hide it in her neckline).
Leno didn't mention Berry's "Tonight Show" look, but he did praise the Bond-inspired Versace gown she wore to the Oscars last month.
"I wanted to go to the Oscars looking like a Bond girl," she told Leno. "I felt like I was -- you'll appreciate this -- wearing a Ferrari."
"Can you drive a stick shift? I'm just curious," Leno replied.
Berry was on the show to promote her current film "The Call," but the actress did confirm she would reprise her role as Storm in the next "X-Men" film.

EAGLE, Colo. - The judge in the Kobe Bryant sexual assault case decided late Monday to reconsider whether to allow defense attorneys to ask the alleged victim detailed questions about her sexual past.
Bryant's accuser had been scheduled to testify today - her first appearance in court. But that has been postponed until a March 24-25 hearing, state courts spokeswoman Karen Salaz said.
Bryant attorneys had subpoenaed the woman, saying the NBA star has a right to confront his accuser. The move prompted complaints from the prosecution and sexual assault victims' advocates that the defense was trying to embarrass and humiliate her. They argued that her sexual conduct in the days surrounding her encounter with Bryant is irrelevant.
State District Judge Terry Ruckriegle initially ruled Monday that prosecutors were too late in asking him to limit questions defense attorneys could ask the woman. During a later closed-door meeting, he agreed to reconsider, Salaz said.
More discussion is expected today on a defense motion contending that Bryant was illegally questioned by investigators on July 1 at the Vail-area resort where he stayed.
Bryant, 25, has said the two had consensual sex. The Los Angeles Lakers star faces four years to life in prison or 20 years to life on probation if convicted of the felony sexual assault charge.
The woman has told police she had sex with someone two days before the alleged attack, while the defense has said she slept with "multiple" partners that week - including someone less than 15 hours after her encounter with Bryant.
Prosecutors said the defense has based its arguments on rumor and innuendo.
The prosecution lost one battle Monday when the judge ordered them to give the defense cuttings from two pairs of underwear worn by the accuser.

Movie Preview: Night at the Museum
Night at the Museum opens this Friday, Dec. 22, starring Ben Stiller as a security guard at the Museum of Natural History. In keeping with nightmares/fantasies of children everywhere, the museum takes on a life of its own once the doors are locked at night. Ricky Gervais and Robin Williams also star, which is reason enough for me to look forward to this silly-humored, PG-rated romp. Tune in Friday for my review of the movie.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said on Friday she's going to re-introduce a bill that would give the President the power to shut off the internet. Because that's worked so well in Egypt. But, Collins says the bill won't let the President shut of the internet the way the Egyptian government did.
From Wired:
"My legislation would provide a mechanism for the government to work with the private sector in the event of a true cyber emergency," Collins said in an e-mail Friday. "It would give our nation the best tools available to swiftly respond to a significant threat."
Not surprisingly, groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the American Civil Liberties Union filed an open letter opposing the bill, expressing concern that such a law could be used to censor the internet.

USD baseball coach Rich Hill avoids attaching any particular significance to a given game.
"It adds anxiety to players," says Hill, who preaches focusing on the process and not the outcome or outside influences.
So, when asked about the significance of Tuesday night's game at crosstown rival San Diego State, Hill said: "For us, it's just Tuesday."
It was another story when USD met SDSU in last year's NCAA Regionals at UCLA. When Hill posted the USD lineup card on the dugout wall, in big letters across the top was written one word: REDEMPTION.
The reference was to the opening weekend of the 2013 season, when the Toreros debuted Fowler Park, their $13.8 million ballpark, to three days of fanfare and festivities that encompassed the three-game series with the Aztecs.
The USD website recognizes the event with a three-minute video and story detailing virtually every aspect of the new facility and the three sellout crowds that came out to see it.
Noticeably absent from the account are the game scores from that weekend:
The Aztecs reigned on the Toreros' parade.
"It felt great," SDSU second baseman Tim Zier said after the opening-night victory. "That's probably my favorite win in my career so far. Just to come in here and take tonight away from them was a lot of fun."
Said Hill: "They absolutely kicked our butts. On a personal level, it was one of the worst experiences of my life. Just because of everything it meant."
USD did redeem itself in the NCAA Regionals, ending the Aztecs' season with a 6-3 victory.
"I don't know if you could have scripted it any better last year with us opening up against them at their place and then finishing the season against them in the regional," said SDSU center fielder Greg Allen.
Did USD's win square things? Not really. It simply raised the stakes for this season.
"Both programs continue to field competitive teams year in and year out, which only heightens the rivalry," said Allen.
This year could be special. Both schools have been picked to finish atop their respective conferences. SDSU (8-3) is off to its best start since the 1997 team opened with a 14-2 record. USD (8-1) is off to its best start since the 2002 team that won its first 10 games.
Questioned last week about their cross-town rivals, USD catcher Connor Joe asked: "When do we play them?"
Joe ratcheted down the rhetoric.
"It's just another game," he said. "We stick to our process and what we do best is play the game hard, prepare everyday."
USD second baseman Andrew Daniel echoed those sentiments.
"For us, it doesn't really matter who we play," said Daniel. "We're trying not to worry about the opponent too much. We're trying to worry about ourselves as individuals and as a team."
Both players did acknowledge that the USD-SDSU games are more meaningful because of all the players on the field who have grown up together. The Aztecs have 13 local players on the roster and the Toreros have 11 local products.
There are several former high school teammates who are now in opposing dugouts. Daniel and SDSU catcher Brad Haynal were teammates at Rancho Bernardo High. SDSU pitcher Michael Cederoth played at Steele Canyon High with USD pitcher Wes Judish and catcher Jesse Jenner. USD pitcher Troy Conyers and SDSU catcher Tyler DeGraff both played at El Capitan High.
"It's always nice to win a game against USD because a lot of us have known each other for a long time," said Haynal. "But, then again, it's nice to win against anybody."
Prodded slightly, Haynal admitted: "I won't deny that it's nice to have some bragging rights."

AIDS challenge is about 'women's empowerment'
The Archbishop of Canterbury has recorded a video message for World AIDS Day in which he warns that nearly two million women are dying each year as a result of the condition.
In the video, Dr Rowan Williams welcomes the way in which HIV and AIDS has moved up the global agenda in the last decade but says that there is still a lot more that governments and churches need to do to tackle it.
He makes the connection between HIV and AIDS and "women's empowerment and women's liberty", as well as gender-based violence.
The video message was recorded during his recent visit to Papua New Guinea where the Archbishop said violence against women was a "major" issue that churches in the country are now starting to make a common witness against.
"HIV/AIDS is regularly both the cause and the result of gender-based violence," he said.
"It results often from rape, from unacceptable and degrading sexual practices.
"It's the result of attitudes towards women that demean them, that deny their human dignity.
"HIV/AIDS is also the cause of violence, it's the cause of stigma and rejection, and suspicion."
The Archbishop said it was "crucial" that governments and wider society address the connection between HIV and gender equality.
He said he longed to see a holistic and "personal approach" that links education, gender respect and medical access.
"The statistics show quite clearly that we are able to make fantastically large changes in how this crisis, how this challenge, impacts on us globally," he said.
"We've seen real advance. We've also seen the political will in governments sometimes slack on this; people have got too used to this.
"Yet, we know what can be achieved; we know that governments, working with civil society, working with churches and faith organisations, can eliminate this [suffering]."

Marlins could dramatically alter trade market
Marlins could dramatically alter trade market
From now until the July 31 Deadline (4 p.m. ET, to be exact), we'll be checking in on the trade news around baseball, with help from MLB.com's reporters. The countdown is under way.
All eyes on Miami: What seemed a bit hard to fathom earlier this month is now very much a reality: the Marlins have begun selling. They already moved Omar Infante and Anibal Sanchez to the Tigers, but by the time the Deadline rolls around, those two could look like small potatoes next to the names Miami could still ship out.
Joe Frisaro, MLB.com's correspondent in Miami, wrote today that the Fish "may consider moving [Josh] Johnson and [Hanley] Ramirez." He adds that aside from Giancarlo Stanton, Jose Reyes and Mark Buehrle, nearly anyone else on the roster could be in play.
If Ramirez and Johnson actually hit the market, it could change the dynamics on any number of situations. For example, the Padres are apparently open to moving Chase Headley, but only at the right price. If Ramirez -- a third baseman with power -- is available, that could well dilute the demand for Headley. Some teams might even be interested in Ramirez as a shortstop. Ramirez must show that he's healthy, but he's got a week to do that.
And while Johnson doesn't have quite the same stature as Zack Greinke or Cole Hamels, he certainly holds some appeal as someone who pitched at an elite level as recently as 2010. He'd have to hold interest for the Angels, the Braves (if they miss out on Ryan Dempster) and any other team seeking starting pitching.
There may not be another team in baseball with the potential to affect the entire trade market as much as the Marlins could. We'll be watching them closely.
Angels of interest: Speaking of Southern California's American League team, the Angels might be more open to dealing a couple of their key young players than had been believed. It seems that Los Angeles may be open to dealing either center-field dynamo Peter Bourjos or young right-hander Garrett Richards, if it yielded the right return.
The Angels prefer not to give up one of their top chips in return for a rental, which means that Johnson becomes one of the pitchers of significant interest, along with the Cubs' Matt Garza and the Rays' James Shields. All three are either under contract or club control for at least the 2013 season, which would make the Angels much more willing to part with a building block in order to acquire them.
Dempster-go-round: How things change. Not so long ago it appeared that Ryan Dempster could be one of the first big names to move. Now it's looking like his situation may go down to the wire.
The Braves and Cubs have the framework of a deal in place for Dempster, but have not completed a trade. That's because Dempster, who has full no-trade protection due to his "10-and-5" status (10 years' Major League service time, the past five with his current club), is weighing his options. He could approve a deal to Atlanta, or he could hold out for a move to the Dodgers, believed to be his first choice.
"I haven't made any decisions on anything," he said Tuesday. "I'm looking at everything and trying to explore every option and do what's best for me."
If the Cubs felt their best return for Dempster came in a deal with the Dodgers, that deal would likely already be done. Instead, they agreed to terms with Atlanta, making for a complicated situation. This one may not be settled imminently.
Gaining clarity: As recently as a week or two ago, the buyers-to-sellers ratio was woefully out of whack, with only five or six clubs clearly in the latter camp. Fortunately for buying teams, it seems that balance is shifting.
It started with the Brewers, whose rough weekend against the Reds capped a disappointing road trip that likely relegated them to selling mode. Then Mets general manager Sandy Alderson acknowledged to reporters on Monday that his team is likely no longer in the buying camp. As a week filled with big series gets rolling, more clubs could join those two in excusing themselves from the shopping frenzy.
It's a huge week for the Red Sox, who face the Rangers followed by the Yankees as they attempt to stay in contention for the Wild Card. MLB.com's Ian Browne reported Tuesday that Boston actually could tilt all the way to the selling side if things go the wrong way over remainder of the week. The Sox have some intriguing youngsters on the way, and one viable tack would be to ship out some veterans and start letting the kids play.
Matters are at a similarly critical stage for the Indians, who have three huge games against the Tigers starting Tuesday night. A sweep would drop Cleveland seven games back in the division. On the other hand, a series win would put them in position for a little run, with upcoming series against the Twins and Royals. The Tribe's future could be an awful lot clearer in just three days.
One in, one out: Greinke takes the mound tonight for those same Brewers after skipping a turn to "recharge his batteries." Greinke has been shaky in July, so this will surely be a big start in the eyes of potential suitors. He pitches against Cliff Lee and the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, which can be a daunting task.
Meanwhile Garza will likely miss a start due to some discomfort in his pitching elbow. That complicates things a bit for the Cubs, though Garza's value is increased by the fact that he's not a rental. The right-hander is under club control (though not under contract) through 2013.

Consoles are FAR more powerful than people realize (AMD's Revolution)

The Directx API is HORRIBLY inefficient and creates such massive CPU overhead that the GPU is rendered to just 20% of the power it's capable of. Consoles on the other hand utilize their own API's and allow for "closer to the metal" programming that eliminates this bottleneck.
AMD is attempting to create Mantle, an API that eliminates this overhead for PC's and the future Steam OS (AKA Linux). With the hardware the systems have now (A Radeon 7970) + HSA + low level API. You're looking at a console that will rival PC's for years to come.
There is a reason why both Microsoft and Sony BOTH chose AMD's Jaguar APU.
AMD's Mantle API, will provide 18 TIMES the amount of draw calls than using Direct X. Essentially making hardware IMMENSELY more powerful just by utilizing more efficient programming and HSA.
As you guessed it, the Jaguar APU's will both utilize HSA, cutting down on overhead bottlenecks, streamlining porting between consoles and PC, which will drastically cut development times and costs, and essentially give users the same amount of processing power for half the prices, wattage, and temperatures.
We are on the verge of a MAJOR revolution in gaming. This generation will be truly spectacular as the industry will no longer be dragged down by inefficient architecture, squandered resources, and drastically different programming languages.
Lookup HSA (Heterogeneous System Architecture) if you have no clue what I'm talking about. Hardware have been needlessly gouging gamers with massive margins by Nvidia and Intel for years. There's a reason why they're not apart of the HSA Foundation.
HSA, APU's, and low level API's are the future of gaming and computers in general.

I highly doubt there will be a PC version. My point is that the console hardware has far more potential with these drastic improvements to software and programming.
I love Kingdom Hearts by the way :) Currently playing KH 1.5 HD Remix
On Xbox One it will be using the special DirectX API; on PS4 it will probably be using a mostly identical version to Mantle. Since they are both based off the same APU and share the same GCN architecture then they will both be using dramatically similar API's no matter what.
In the end, ALL gamers win, whether PC/Xbox One/PS4 :)

Hey troll read your own article LMFAO. Says right at the beginning bro.
Here's the troll's own article saying the Xbox One API isn't using Mantle (obviously, it's a custom SOC?).
At the top of the article, since this was so poorly researched, reads.
"Note: Feedback we've gotten from other sources continues to suggest that Microsoft's low-level API for the Xbox One is extremely similar to Mantle, and the difference between the two is basically semantic. This doesn't square very well with Microsoft's own statements; we'll continue to investigate. "
----The author in the comment section then says this
" Joel Hruska James Tolson

What I'm hearing from other people suggtsts that the MS blog post was classic CYA and written more because of tension regarding the superiority of DX11 -- not any actual capability difference between Mantle and Xbox One's API.
The situation remains muddled."
Joel Hruska Jeremy Garcia

The implications I'm hearing is that the Xbox One and Mantle are *extremely* similar, and that the Xbox One post was written to defend DirectX after it got slagged as slow and inefficient.
If so, that's tremendously annoying. But it also makes sense in a lot of ways. The things DX11.x does for the Xbox One are exactly the sort of things that Mantle is doing for the PC.

PC version or not doesn't matter, the game is still being made in DirectX.
Which is why they decide to do a Xbx One port, because both the PS4 and One supports it.
Which is why Wii U is not getting a port, because it does not support DirectX.

Neither system has a 7970 in it. No way shape or form. Any website or rumor claiming that is off. $300 card will not be inside a $400-500 console.

If your game is running through Direct X, then you are essentially using a minority of the performance your hardware is capable of. Direct X is what's known as a "High-Level" API. This means, to work on as many possible setups as possible, it uses a highly inefficient process for draw calls.
Thus, it has the effect of slowing down your hardware. To make up for this, you must continually purchase expensive new GPU's. This allows high margin hardware manufacturers to charge you high premiums for new hardware when it's convenient.
Ever wonder why GTA 5 looks and functions as good as it does on 7 year old tech? Because the consoles use custom low-level API's! Mantle is PC's solution to this problem and a huge reason why EA/DICE are heavily supporting Mantle.

Recevied mine today 2 days earlier than expected this is a very nice sword very sharp right out of the box everything is nice and tight very hapoy with it
Shinwa Black Damascus Red Samurai Shirasaya Sword. I was skeptical at first but when I pulled the sword out of the box, I fell in love with it. It's just what I was expecting for the price. The blade was really dirty when I pulled it out of the box, I will clean the blade and oil it tomorrow. I was some what disappointed with the sharpness of the blade but that can be taken care of also......For the price you can't go wrong!
Bought this for my grandson he loved it" it was a beautiful piece to add to his collection. Thanks BUDK
This sword is an awesome buy & in the hands of a swordsman , it is most definitely a MANKILLER!! As one who has again "picked up the sword", I am fully prepared to Kill if necessary. The quality of the blade is a tribute to Swordmaking!! And it is because of this quality, I have been inspired to buy more of the Shinwa Swords.
For starters for the money you absolutely cant go wrong... It is a very very nice sword, it has a solid feeling and well finished... Theres no rattles or bad gaps, And the Handle and saya finish is deep and glossy and is flawless I'm very surprised and impressed with the craftmanship of this piece. I really was not expecting it to be of this level of quality for the price i expected it to be just decent not great. There is one big problem and that is it is so beautiful i dont want to use it! So its going on the sword rack on display next to my Hanwei and Ronin and others, its defiantly worthy of hanging next to swords of much higher prices. Did i mention its drop dead beautiful!
I read the comments before purchase and I was very unsure...I thought it was a good buy, Whats the worst that could happen, Right? Got my package today and was very happy. The Blade was very sharp at the tip and the edges felt like they could do damage. Im not sure if it was full tang or not , and the scabbard had glue and woodchips inside. It didn't bother me. This is my first Purchase from BUDK and a Shinwa product. I will be returning for the holidays :)
Sword arrived in a crushed sword box, NOT FROM SHIPPING as the shipping box was fine. The red sword box was crushed BEFORE it was shipped. Result was a fingernail size chunk of the handle missing and several marks throughout the entire sword. Other than that it was sharp enough and fit scabbard OK. Sad how someone would ship a very visibly damaged container with ZERO consideration for the costumer. Not worth the effort and cost of returning. I have bought ALOT from BudK but this was the worst experience.
I would have given this 5 stars, if it had not a saya that that was so loose the blade fell out. But, I do have a fix for this problem. Coat the bare wood inside the saya with SUPER GLUE. Be very careful to keep the glue inside the saya. You may have to do this more than once to build it up to the point the blade will not fall out. Do not put the blade in before it is dry ! If you do, it will never come out.
I'm glad I waited for what I really wanted in a Katoshi sword cane. Love the red, and I must say that the blade is more red than black, but that looks great with the wood. This sword was not as sharp as the other shinwa blades I own and that was mildly disapointing, so no 5 stars. Beautiful but will need a little sharpning.
If you are looking for a real funtional Chinese Sword (although it's said Japanese), this is it. It will be a sword you will be pround to own with very affordable price.

Catelynn Lowell, Tyler Baltierra Living Apart and Pursuing Life Goals
Growing up hasn't been easy for "Teen Mom" stars Catelynn Lowell and fiancé Tyler Baltierra. The two had their daughter, Carly, when they were only 16 and chose to give her up for adoption. Now the two are living apart for the first time and it hasn't been easy for the couple.
"It's so weird sleeping in this big bed by myself," Lowell told "In Touch" magazine. "I miss him."
The two have decided to live apart from one another while they pursue their individual life goals. Lowell is currently attending Baker's College in Michigan; she hopes to earn her degree in social work. Baltierra, however, has a completely different goal.
While on the series he said he wanted to be a youth counselor and work with those who had grown up in situations like he was. Baltierra came from a broken home in which his father was a drug addict and alcoholic; his parents wound up divorcing, and his father married Lowell's mother.
Now, though, Baltierra is in New Orleans, working to break into the movies. "It's time to focus on my dreams," he explained.
"I love him," Lowell explained, "and I need to stand behind him. It's not like we're going to go out and cheat on each other. We're not like that."
During their time on "Teen Mom," there was a time when Baltierra thought Lowell was cheating on him. He learned of text messages sent between Lowell and an ex-boyfriend, which called the two to temporarily call off their engagement. They went to counseling and were able to work things out.
The couple is currently planning their wedding for some time next year and have expressed the hope that daughter Carly will be able to attend, though it's unknown whether that will happen or not.

Folder Viewer
Someone came to the forums asking for such a thing. I had a script I used as a folder viewer in the past so I got hold of the script and re coded it a bit for the sake of anyone wanting a Folder Viewer. Unfortunately the script relies heavily on Java Script. This is due to popular browsers lack of support for styling select tags. And also to capture double click events. Since I started using Java Script I decided to finish using it so the Viewer uses Ajax to refresh the folder list after a new folder has been selected. There is no forward or back control as of yet, but you do have an up a level button. I didn't provide provisions for setting user parameters such as widths, heights and colours etc. To edit these just hack the stylesheet.css file. Eventually I think i will turn this into a class, when I get time. Please have a go with this and let me know about any bugs/ feedback! Thanks.

The deployment of SugarCRM as an application is typically cloud-based. For most organizations, that model makes the most sense. The advantages of cloud-based deployments such as Salesforce.com and SugarCRM are accessibility and scalability – while relieving IT departments of much of the hands on work. SugarCRM has several advantages in a Salesforce comparison: (a) Sugar can also be installed on-premises within the network infrastructure of an organization and (b) it can achieve this at a highly reduced cost point.

ARMY reservists from Doncaster have been playing a key role in protecting the Olympic Games.
Privates Paul Goulden and Dale Evans, of 150 Yorkshire Transport Regiment Royal Logistic Corps Volunteers, from Scarbrough Barracks, are part of the security team at the Olympic Park.
Pte Goulden, aged 26, said: "The Olympics is a once-in-a-lifetime event. I volunteered to see what all the hype was about and I haven't been disappointed.
"The fans have made it for me.
"We've had a lot of banter with people, while remaining professional and getting them through security as quickly as possible."
The father-of-one works in customer service for energy company E.on and has been in the TA for four years.
The former pupil at Thorne Grammar School has also watched women's hockey.
Pte Evans, 23, a former regular soldier who works as a driver's mate, joined the TA when he left the Army a year ago. The former Adwick School pupil said: "I volunteered for the Olympics as soon as possible, to be able to play my part in such an important event. It's been a really good experience and the public feel reassured by having us here."

CLEVELAND — The return of LeBron James to the Cavaliers carried the day, but the night belonged to the Indians.
Keeping the excitement going from one of the most memorable events in Cleveland sports history, the Indians opened a three-game series against Central Division rival Chicago with a resounding 7-4 victory at Progressive Field.
Lonnie Chisenhall's two-out single tied it in the fifth inning, and Nick Swisher followed with a winning two-run home run to send the Indians to their fifth win in seven games.
None of the heroics would have been possible had manager Terry Francona not won a replay challenge.
Cleveland shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera was ruled out at second base on a stolen base attempt to end the fifth inning after Carlos Santana struck out. Francona challenged the call and replays showed that White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez had missed the swipe tag on Cabrera.
The call was overturned, and Chisenhall hit the first pitch he saw from Chicago starter Hector Noesi for an RBI single that tied the game at 4. Swisher connected on an 0-1 pitch from Noesi and drove it over the center-field wall for his eighth homer of the year.
"Obviously, it was a huge call for us," Francona said.
Corey Kluber, who lost out to White Sox pitcher Chris Sale in the Internet vote for the final AL All-Star spot, wasn't as dominant as he has been for much of the season, allowing four runs on eight hits over six innings.
But Cleveland's offense rode to its pitcher's rescue.
"It wasn't my best but the important thing is we got a win," Kluber said. "The offense did a good job. Every time I gave up runs, they bounced right back and scored and answered. And then the bullpen shut them down."
"Tonight, he had to work a little bit. He gave up four runs," Francona said. "Saying that, he still pitched through six (innings)."
Each time Kluber allowed runs in an inning, the Indians answered. Kluber allowed two in the second, then David Murphy's two-run homer tied it in the bottom of the inning. Chicago went ahead 3-2 in the fourth, but the Indians tied it again on a bases-loaded walk to Chris Dickerson.
Adam Dunn's leadoff homer put the White Sox back up by a run in the fifth before the Indians took control for good with their three-run uprising.
"I just think that's how things are going right now. We're all really picking each other up," Swisher said. "Everyone's carrying their weight right now. We're dangerous one through nine right now."
Swisher has begun to pick up steam at the plate, hitting safely in seven straight games with three homers and nine RBIs.
"I think he's certainly doing much better," Francona said. "The batting average probably won't be where it has been, but it wouldn't surprise me if he got the home runs and power numbers (back to normal). Guys have a way of doing that."
Cleveland's bullpen rose to the occasion as well, with a trio of relievers — John Axford, Bryan Shaw and Cody Allen — holding the Sox without a hit over the final three innings. Chicago didn't get a hit after Dunn's leadoff homer in the fifth, with Cleveland relievers striking out six of the final eight batters.
James' return to Cleveland coupled with an Indians win made for a big night on the lakefront.
"There was a lot of excitement tonight," Swisher said. "I know there's going to be a lot of talk of if there's enough fans in Cleveland to support all three teams. In my mind there's absolutely plenty. I think a lot of people take a lot of pride in all three aspects — baseball, football, basketball.
"I know everybody outside this stadium is super stoked about what's to come, and so are we. It feels like we're really kind of turning things on at the right time."

Weiner meets Mets, talks about team issues
Weiner meets Mets, talks about team issues
The question of if the club would limit Rodriguez's use to avoid having to play him for the 2012 season has been raised this spring. Manager Terry Collins has previously said he would not let that factor into his managerial decisions.
Said Weiner: "I have every expectation that the Mets are going to honor both the Basic Agreement and Frankie's contract. There is arbitration precedent that deals with that. It essentially says that a club's decisions for using a player have to be motivated by trying to win. There is arbitration precedent that makes clear that a team cannot sit a player down or decline to use him in order to prevent him from earning a bonus or having a year vest."
And about the Wilpon-Madoff matter, which the club has consistently said will not affect baseball operations, Weiner said: "We want to make sure all contractual obligations are honored, and we've been assured by the Commissioner's Office that that is the case. So there is no concern there.
"As far as broader questions ... Look, it's in the interests of everybody associated with baseball that the National League franchise in New York be a strong franchise. The Wilpons have always attempted to field competitive teams during their tenure, and we certainly hope they're in a position to do that.
"The key to a strong player market is having a number of different clubs out there competing for players. We know that in any given year, you're not going to have 30 clubs out there competing for players. That's just not the way it is. ... Whether it's the Mets, whether it's the Dodgers, whether it's frankly the Twins, the Tigers or any club ... if there is something that's going to prevent them from participating as they normally would in whatever cycle that would be in bidding for players, that's a concern for us.
"At this point, we have been assured through the Commissioner's Office that the Mets are going to be able to operate as they have."

Need help? Advice?
10-6 EST, m-f
There are changes afoot! The nursery has a new coat of paint. Your toddler was upset about moving to a new room at first, but was mollified by his promotion from a crib to a "big kid" bed. And you're dreading trading in your beloved Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle for a clunky double stroller.
There's no need to fret, Mom – the new Mountain Buggy Plus One double stroller tweaks the Urban Jungle's frame just a little to fit a second child, and accommodates two toddlers or a toddler and an infant. The kids are comfy, you can get through doorways (it's only 25" wide), and the steering feels so nice you'll swear it's a single stroller. The trick is a zip-out extension in the rear of the stroller, which fits either a "cocoon" bassinet for a newborn (included) or a toddler seat (also included). You can, of course, use the Plus One as a single as well. In any configuration, adding one more to the family doesn't mean that you have to give up easy and stylish city strolling.
In the newborn configuration, the baby rides facing you in the cocoon bassinet. The rear flap opens up so that you can see in and attend to the baby, and the flick-out mesh extensions to the sun canopy ensure that both kids get good coverage. A carefully-designed "stopper bar" keeps the toddler in front from leaning too far back, so everyone's safe and comfortable.
In the two-toddler configuration, the second child rides in a slightly elevated rear seat, making this a great tandem choice (both kids get a good view!). A fabric drop-down space gives the child in the back somewhere to put her feet without taking up space in the under-seat basket.
The Mountain Buggy Plus One's frame is a slightly lengthened version of the Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle, altered a bit for stability. It has the same light but sturdy wedge-shaped aluminum frame, designed for an easy steer. The 12" air-filled tires skim happily over bumps and cracks and make it easy to navigate curbs, and the two-mode front wheel can swivel for quick turns or lock for full-speed-ahead! The five-point harnesses adjust small enough for a newborn, and feature easy twist-and-slide seat harness adjustment.
The Plus One double stroller has an easy two-step fold, leaving both seats on; you can remove the quick-release wheels for a smaller fold. The handle is height-adjustable, and the fabric is water resistant.
In short: everything will change soon, but with the Mountain Buggy Plus One double stroller, your urban strolling experience will stay the way you like it.

Laura Ramsey is known in most circles as the 'Hollywood female equivalent to Kurt Warner'. Our guess is she's called this due to to her rise from a Wisconsin waitress to working leading lady in less than a year. Kurt Warner went from bagging groceries to winning Super Bowls in the same time span, with his creepy wife cheering him on.
Laura Ramsey was born in Brandon, Wisconsin on a frigid November 14, 1982. She grew up to realize every Wisconsin girl's dream: to become a waitress. Deciding to take a step up and become a waitress in Los Angeles, she was 'discovered' there and cast in the box office dud The Real Cancun. In the film, she played herself, which she admits she didn't fully grasp the character.
Laura soon played opposite Amanda Bynes in DreamWorks' She's the Man. She then co-starred in director Catherine Hardwicke's film Lords of Dogtown with the likes of Emile Hirsch, Heath Ledger, Nikki Reed, and Rebecca De Mornay, who was naked in Risky Business. Laura also starred in Venom with Agnes Bruckner, Bijou Phillips, and Method Man. Red Man does not make an appearance.
She was also a series regular on the ABC sitcom "The Days" which lasted an impressive six episodes.
Upcoming films for Laura include Street (2008), Shrink (2009), and Catch .44 (2009).

At the risk of re-igniting this old debate I am going to put this question to the board. I realize the old wives tale/urban legend said you were not supposed to eat them in a month with no R supposedly from a refrigeration standpoint. Due to the wonders of modern technology we really don't have to worry about that angle any longer.
One of my friends who likes cooking as much as I do and is a pretty well read cook was claiming another reason for eating them only in an R month. Supposedly the summer is when they are mating, reproducing or whatever you call it that oysters do to make little oysters. During this period the little devils are not as meaty as they would be at the other times of the year when they are just kicked back, hanging around the bay, not getting into trouble. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this line of thinking? I have been in New Orleans eating oysters during each of the 4 seasons and haven't really noticed much difference. I'm not going to stop eating them at this time of year, but am just curious if there is any firm scientific basis to this theory.

Worldwide Express CEO Provides Tough Love to Workers on Surviving the Summer Doldrums
CEO David Kiger gives tips on turning a 'bummer summer' into a productive career season
Aug 13, 2013, 14:00 ET from Worldwide Express
DALLAS, Aug. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Growing up, summer meant days lounging at the pool and nights spent staying up late. In corporate America, summer can seem like just another season shuffling papers and working toward a seemingly unreachable promotion. Rather than parade in a pity party, David Kiger, the CEO and founder of Worldwide Express, a Dallas-based global package and freight shipping firm, encouraged workers to get it together and stop daydreaming. Abandoning the predictable and codling advice, Kiger provided tried and true tips on navigating common obstacles found in a corporate dry spell.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130813/DA63393)
- There's a reason it's called work. Work cannot be all fun and games. Just as employees depend on the company to support them with paychecks and health benefits, the company depends on its employees to deliver the work they were hired to do. "Fun doesn't equal easy. Even the luckiest among us who work in 'dream jobs' have to buckle down, because complacency won't lead to success," explained Kiger.
- The perfect job may be unrealistic. Don't blur the lines between fantasy and reality. "Suppose you're in analytics, but your passion is collecting antique kitten figurines. The chances are slim that someone will pay you to do that as a profession," Kiger illustrated. Finding aspects of a 'dream job' in a real job will make a career feel more fulfilling.
- This is a workplace, not Chuck E. Cheese. Falling victim to a bad day at the office is unavoidable. "It's important to take a step back and see the bigger picture: You are there voluntarily, and you're getting paid," Kiger empathized.
- Don't get discouraged. If leaving a nine-to-five is the only daydream making the day go by faster, Kiger offered this piece of advice, "Pursue your interests on your own time. If those passions are truly what matters most, take another step and learn the trade. Take night classes, online courses or whatever you need to actually move toward a full-time pursuit."
- Don't let your job define you. "We spend so much of our day at work, and our jobs can become the biggest thing in our lives," Kiger admitted. "Find your place of solace, whether it's with family and friends, or through your hobbies. There's more to an individual than a job title."
Tough love may be hard to swallow, but it will ultimately help employees survive tough times at work – no matter if they're a seasoned worker or embarking on their first job after college. "Like so many aspects of work and life, it just takes balance and a realistic outlook," Kiger advised.

Wisconsin league says Mayor Paul Soglin convinced a bipartisan group of 187 mayors nationwide to pass a resolution in support of the bill.
I'm not the wisest about spending money, especially when it comes to things like clothes, shoes and accessories. I'm guilty of buying items for the life I wish I were living, instead of for the life I'm actually living. For example, I recently bought this big, floppy, black and white...
Third-party integration and increased efficiencies were cited in the decision by the $1.8 billion Summit Credit Union in Madison, Wis., to convert to the Symitar core processing platform from Jack Henry & Associates, the company and credit union said.
Efficiencies, third-party integration cited in decision to switch platforms.
The reduced compliance burden, as a result of new NCUA rules introduced during the regulator's May 24 board meeting, is worth $8 million to federally insured credit unions.
Kim Sponem, president/CEO of Summit Credit Union, was one of several Wisconsin leaders who met Obama official to discuss business ideas, job creation and economic development.
Credit unions have been taking creative approaches to delivering on members' lifestyle needs. For example, Bellevue, Neb.-based SAC Federal Credit Union has unveiled its Baby Bundle Savings Plan.
Credit unions using creative, cost-effective and innovative campaigns to successfully market their credit and debit cards will be recognized by Card Services for Credit Unions at the association's annual conference this week.
Summit Credit Union members have got oodles to be thrilled about. With an eye on reinforcing its value to its members and the communities served, the Madison, Wis.-based credit union has launched Oodles, a membership rewards program.

A son of the great Frankel, together with his dam Crystal Gaze, was sold for £1,150,000 to MV Magnier in the inaugural Goffs London Sale at The Orangery in Kensington Palace this evening.
The colt is the first offspring of the late Henry Cecil's champion to come under the hammer and Crystal Gaze is expecting a second foal by Frankel next year.
Crystal Gaze has already produced the classy sprinter Spirit Quartz, as well as Epsom Dash winner Caspian Prince.
The youngster, who was Lot 65 together with his mother, was consigned by Tweenhills Stud.
Magnier, the son of Coolmore supremo John Magnier, said: "He has been bought for a racing partnership, and there are four different people in it.
"It's a nice, strong colt and the lads really liked it."
Asked where the star attraction would be trained, he said: "It's too early to say, there's plenty of time to think about it."

Los Angeles County is considering a last resort for dealing with an influx of state prisoners - passing them on to another county.
The Los Angeles Times ( http://lat.ms/qAZMOz ) says a team of sheriff's official recently visited Taft in the San Joaquin Valley to look at one possible facility.
California is trying to ease state prison overcrowding by shipping inmates to county lockups - mostly short-timers facing sentences of 90 days or less. Los Angeles County is expected to receive hundreds by year's end.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore says relocating some of those inmates out of the county would only be considered under extreme circumstances. He says other options are preferred, such as electronic monitoring and home detention.

Rio de Janeiro, Nov 22 (IANS) Defending champions Cruzeiro saw their hopes of clinching a top-four place fade with a 1-1 draw at Palmeiras in Brazil's Serie A championship.
On Saturday, Marcos Vinicius opened the scoring in the 20th minute before Paraguay international striker Lucas Barrios equalized with 19 minutes to go, reported Xinhua news agency.
The result left the Belo Horizonte outfit seventh in the standings with 52 points, four points behind fourth-placed Sao Paulo, who have three matches remaining compared to Cruzeiro's two.
The top four teams at the end of the season earn a berth in next year's Copa Libertadores – South America's elite club competition.
Sunday's matches included two major local derbies: Sao Paulo against already crowned champions Corinthians and Internacional against Gremio in Porto Alegre.

There was some ominous thunder during the second act, but the libertine finally got his just deserts in the first complete performance of the Wolf Trap Opera Company's new production of "Don Giovanni" on Tuesday night. The weekend's violent storm canceled the first two performances, but the power was back on for this updated staging, heavy on video effects. The company's repertoire has been mostly full of surprises in recent seasons, perhaps justifying a return to this audience favorite, last produced at the Barns in 2005.
Wolf Trap continues to field remarkable talent in its young singers, beginning with the powerful baritone of Craig Irvin, who as Leporello outshone the Don Giovanni of colleague Ryan Kuster, less burnished in the serenade "Deh vieni alla finestra." The original casting idea, noted in publicity materials, was that Kuster and Irvin would learn both parts and switch back and forth on alternate nights of the run. Interchangeability is a theme in the Mozart-Da Ponte operas — think of Susanna and the Countess in "Figaro" and all of "Cosi" — and some of the best comedy in "Don Giovanni" results from the two men switching identities in the second act. The idea was abandoned about three weeks away from opening night, probably for the best since most audience members would not have been able to appreciate the amount of work that went into it.
Soprano Marcy Stonikas sang with plenty of wattage, a dramatic voice with maybe too much punch for Donna Anna, while Olivia Vote's Donna Elvira was edgy, with the right kind of acidic tone for that role. Even better was the perky but tender Zerlina of Andrea Carroll, a fizzy voice matched by a firecracker stage presence. Although Craig Colclough was a terrifying presence as the Commendatore, the Don Ottavio of Jason Slayden (singing only "Il mio tesoro" and not "Dalla sua pace") and Masetto of Aaron Sorensen were underwhelming.
Director Tomer Zvulun modernized the story to 2014 without explaining why everyone would still be deferential to Don Giovanni as a nobleman. It seems equally implausible that the Don's sexual adventures would cause much outrage in our time, when no eyebrow is likely to be raised at Zvulun's decision to change the sumptuous banquet of the final scene into a writhing, semi-clothed threesome. Erhard Rom's ingenious set featured walls and moving screens onto which video projections (designed by S. Katy Tucker) could be shown, making for a few interesting effects, notably in the graveyard scene, although they distracted from the music during the overture and even during important arias. Still, recasting the catalogue aria as a PowerPoint presentation was clever, as was Leporello's hipster outfit (costume design by Vita Tzykun).
The small orchestra, crammed into the undersize pit, played valiantly, too many splatted notes in the horns aside. Stylish accompaniment for the recitatives came from Justina Lee at the pianoforte, although it was a mistake for the cellist to perform some of the ensemble pieces from her place in the house. The overly vigorous gestures of conductor Andrew Bisantz seemed to do little to create a clean sense of ensemble, rounding out the picture of mixed success.
This production continues Thursday and Saturday.

|Cure For Muscle Cramps & Spasms?
|Snookie doesn't have to worry about smoosh smoosh related muscle cramps!
The problem is, there are numerous causes for muscle cramps and the jury is still out on all of the exact science behind a muscle cramp. It is also difficult to uniformly and accurately elicit a sports muscle cramp in a controlled laboratory setting. There is also the major issue of palatability of the nasty juice and the fact that it would have to go up against marketing behemoths Coca-Cola and Pepsi to compete with Gatorade and Powerade.

Tomb Raider weekend sale is your ticket to Yamatai
Lara Croft is no stranger to traveling the world, but she's a lot richer than most of us.
Crystal Dynamics feels our pain, so the developer has discounted last month's Tomb Raider reboot by 50 percent on the PlayStation Network. Curious players can book a cheaper trip to Yamatai, which is hidden away on an island in the Dragon's Triangle.
Of course, that's where you'll die — a lot. Over and over, in creative and painful ways.
The sale runs until Monday, April 29, at noon (just to be safe, assume that's Pacific time). You can grab it for $30 on the Sony Entertainment Network webstore.
And remember, you can now queue the game up from your computer if you wish.
GameZone reviewer Mike Splechta gave Tomb Raider a 9-out-of-10 and wrote, "After all the cuts and bruises ... this wasn't the same Lara. ... As someone who previously had little to no interest in any Tomb Raider game before this, I walked away changed too. This brilliantly designed adventure had me captivated from start to finish ... ."

Good Points
These clubs are very forgiving, promote very high ball flight for controlled landing and holding the green, and consistent distance.
Bad Points
The only draw back to these clubs has been adjusting to the distance. I am dialing them in now because I'm consistently hitting the ball 10 - 20 yards longer per club so I'm recalibrating my club choice. I'm not complaining nor is this a bad point but you will have to adjust because they are longer.
General Comments
If you are looking for a game improving set of irons, that will lower your score, this Cleveland Hibore set is for you. These clubs are very forgiving, launch the ball high for a soft landing and more control, and are longer then any other club I have hit. My shots are straighter, more consistent, and I am finding the greens with consistency because I can. I would have never believed it unless I tried them myself. And you probably won't believe me either until you try them for yourself. Be sure you bring your checkbook when you do because these clubs are the real deal. Since getting these clubs I have fired a 37, 41, 43, and 37 which is a 39 average. My average with my old clubs was 44.

Yesterday's campus memorial service for MIT Police Officer Sean Collier mourned a victim of the Boston bombers — but it was also an answer to them, an overwhelming outpouring of support for what they sought to destroy.
The Collier murder was just as much an attack on society as were the Marathon bombings; yesterday's service reminded survivors of the strength of a well-ordered society.
Public memorials are a public service — and a gift to the public from a victim's family even as the family mourns.
MIT Police Chief John DiFava, in a movingly honest speech to a packed outdoor crowd, paraphrased Thomas Paine: "These are the times that try men's intellect, their hearts and their souls . . . It's difficult to understand why such a senseless, brutal act was perpetrated . . . We feel almost betrayed by the society we are sworn to protect."
The Tsarnaev brothers knew Boston well enough to know how important the Marathon is. But, as alums of the prestigious Cambridge Rindge and Latin public high school and Cambridge residents, they also knew the city, with at least a passing familiarity with its marquee universities, MIT and Harvard.
And they would have known that Cambridge is a successful, functional, diverse city — one where people want to live, work and go to school.
But diversity adds to the challenges of policing. As DiFava said, MIT "has its own unique set of challenges for law enforcement." Nearly 30 percent of the school's 11,000 students are foreign; many "come from countries where the police are not really their friends. Oftentimes they are brutal, corrupt and oppressive." When they first arrive, the students "are seeing the police from their own country," he added.
Distrust is one of the things terrorists love to exploit. In a weaker society, the Collier murder might cause officers to look on foreign students with fresh distrust — and students, in turn, to resent that distrust.
Not MIT and Cambridge, though. Yesterday's service was already reaffirming basic bonds. MIT students came out in force to show their condolences to Collier's family — and also their respect.
MIT President L. Rafael Reif (himself from Venezuela) noted that hundreds of students had sent testimonial e-mails about their interactions with Officer Collier.
One graduate wrote, "What really struck me was how interested Sean was in so many things. He was alive in the world in a way that is too rare. It was a big deal to have someone coming by my lab with fresh eyes full of genuine enthusiasm and curiosity about what I was doing."
Collier "achieved a level of trust with people of all backgrounds," DiFava added.
That's no small accomplishment — but Collier was accomplished. At 27, an age when many young men are still figuring life out, he had earned a degree in criminal justice and paid his own way through the police academy with no guarantee of a job afterward.
In a fiscal environment of hiring freezes and delayed retirements, it's probably just as hard to get on a good police force as it is to get into MIT. But Collier was moving up the civil-service list to join the police department of next-door Somerville in June.
As for his legacy: Collier's death in the line of duty — protecting innovative people who will go on to create wealth and strength for America — is "to do it right. If we want to cherish his memory, remember that, we have to do it right," DiFava concluded.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older of the two attackers, told his carjacking victim, "We just killed a cop. We blew up the marathon."
But at 26, about the same age as Collier, he's dead — and his parents can't mourn him at a public service; the best they can do is feel privately ashamed.

J.P. Morgan acquired Bank One last year and had, at one time, planned to spin off its private-equity business, called One Equity Partners LLC, by the end of this year.
