Analysis: Howard Ganz, an MLB lawyer, said in a letter to U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos that Rodriguez's claims do not come "remotely close" to what is needed to overturn an arbitration decision in federal court. Ganz said in the letter, which became public Tuesday, that the lawsuit should be tossed because a court is not empowered to re-examine the merits of an arbitration award. Ramos set Feb. 14 for a conference.
|Jan. 21 2:15 PM PT3:15 PM MT4:15 PM CT5:15 PM ET17:15 ET22:15 GMT6:15 CST3:15 PM MST5:15 PM EST5:45 PM VEN2:15 UAE (+1)4:15 PM CT-Several angry major league players wanted Rodriguez kicked out of their union after he sued it last week, but staff lawyers told them expulsion was not allowed.
Analysis: The players spoke Jan. 13 during a Major League Baseball Players Association conference call after Rodriguez sued the union and Major League Baseball to overturn an arbitrator's decision suspending him for the 2014 season and postseason.
|Jan. 16 3:54 PM PT4:54 PM MT5:54 PM CT6:54 PM ET18:54 ET23:54 GMT7:54 CST4:54 PM MST6:54 PM EST7:24 PM VEN3:54 UAE (+1)5:54 PM CT-Rodriguez says his season-long suspension could be a benefit, allowing him to rest and return to the Yankees for the final three years of his contract.
Analysis: Speaking late Wednesday in Mexico's capital during a promotional appearance, Rodriguez declined to talk specifically about his suspension for violating baseball's drug agreement and labor contract.
|Jan. 15 3:18 PM PT4:18 PM MT5:18 PM CT6:18 PM ET18:18 ET23:18 GMT7:18 CST4:18 PM MST6:18 PM EST6:48 PM VEN3:18 UAE (+1)5:18 PM CT-Hal Steinbrenner says Alex Rodriguez is "a great player" and "obviously an asset" but the New York Yankees' managing general partner wouldn't comment on the player's possible return to the team following his season-long suspension. Speaking to reporters at baseball owners' meetings Wednesday, Steinbrenner said he isn't thinking about 2015 and his focus is on right now.
Analysis: Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig suspended Rodriguez for 211 games in August, and arbitrator Fredric Horowitz cut the penalty last weekend to the 2014 season and postseason. The arbitrator found "clear and convincing evidence" that the third baseman used three banned substances and twice tried to obstruct baseball's investigation of the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic. Rodriguez responded by suing Major League Baseball and the players' association in an effort to overturn the decision.
|Jan. 13 1:31 PM PT2:31 PM MT3:31 PM CT4:31 PM ET16:31 ET21:31 GMT5:31 CST2:31 PM MST4:31 PM EST5:01 PM VEN1:31 UAE (+1)3:31 PM CT-Rodriguez sued Major League Baseball and its players' union Monday, seeking to overturn a season-long suspension imposed by an arbitrator who ruled there was "clear and convincing evidence" he used three banned substances and twice tried to obstruct the sport's drug investigation.
Analysis: Rodriguez in his suit claimed the Major League Baseball Players Association "completely abdicated its responsibility to Mr. Rodriguez to protect his rights" and "this inaction by MLBPA created a climate in which MLB felt free to trample" on Rodriguez's confidentiality rights.
|Nov. 21 3:59 PM PT4:59 PM MT5:59 PM CT6:59 PM ET18:59 ET23:59 GMT7:59 CST4:59 PM MST6:59 PM EST7:29 PM VEN3:59 UAE (+1)5:59 PM CT-Rodriguez's drug suspension was cut to 162 games from 211 by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, a decision the New York Yankees third baseman vowed to fight in federal court.
Analysis: Rodriguez also would be sidelined for any postseason games this year under the ruling announced Saturday, which costs him $25 million of the $86 million remaining on his contract.
|Nov. 20 1:07 PM PT2:07 PM MT3:07 PM CT4:07 PM ET16:07 ET21:07 GMT5:07 CST2:07 PM MST4:07 PM EST4:37 PM VEN1:07 UAE (+1)3:07 PM CT-Alex Rodriguez walked out of his grievance hearing Wednesday after arbitrator Fredric Horowitz refused to order baseball Commissioner Bud Selig to testify.
Analysis: Rodriguez's legal team remains involved in the proceeding. It has been unclear whether Rodriguez will testify.
|Nov. 18 11:12 AM PT12:12 PM MT1:12 PM CT2:12 PM ET14:12 ET19:12 GMT3:12 CST12:12 PM MST2:12 PM EST2:42 PM VEN23:12 UAE1:12 PM CT-Rodriguez is back at Major League Baseball's office for the resumption of the grievance hearing to overturn his 211-game suspension. Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz already has presided over eight days of sessions, from Sept. 30-Oct. 3 and from Oct. 15-18. Rodriguez's legal team was set to call witnesses when the hearing resumed.
Analysis: It was unclear whether the New York Yankees third baseman would testify. He had been scheduled for an investigatory interview with MLB on Friday, but the session was canceled when Rodriguez's side said he was ill with flu-like systems and could not travel from California. Rodriguez was suspended for 211 games by MLB on Aug. 5 for alleged violations of the sport's drug agreement and labor contract, and the players' association filed a grievance to overturn the penalty.
|Nov. 7 7:45 AM PT8:45 AM MT9:45 AM CT10:45 AM ET10:45 ET15:45 GMT23:45 CST8:45 AM MST10:45 AM EST11:15 AM VEN19:45 UAE9:45 AM CT-Attorneys for Rodriguez will appear in a New York courtroom for an initial court conference in his lawsuit against Major League Baseball. The New York Yankees third baseman is not expected at the meeting Thursday in Manhattan federal court.
Analysis: Rodriguez was given a 211-game suspension by the league on Aug. 5 for alleged violations of baseball's drug agreement and labor contract. He is challenging the suspension and has sued the league and Commissioner Bud Selig.
|Oct. 31 1:47 PM PT2:47 PM MT3:47 PM CT4:47 PM ET16:47 ET20:47 GMT4:47 CST1:47 PM MST3:47 PM EST4:17 PM VEN0:47 UAE (+1)2:47 PM CT-With the World Series over, Alex Rodriguez has resumed his criticism of Major League Baseball and Commissioner Bud Selig for its investigation that led to a 211-game suspension the Yankees' third baseman is trying to overturn. In addition to a grievance filed by the players' union, Rodriguez filed a lawsuit against Selig and MLB that accused them of engaging in a "witch hunt." At the World Series, Selig said he was "very comfortable" with MLB's investigative team.
Analysis: Rodriguez says in a statement he is "deeply troubled by my team's investigative findings." He called the investigations an example of "gross, ongoing misconduct." MLB suspended three-time AL MVP on Aug. 5 for violations of its drug agreement and labor contract. Rodriguez was allowed to keep playing until the grievance was settled. An arbitrator heard eight days of hearings, with the next session Nov. 18.
|Oct. 18 3:54 PM PT4:54 PM MT5:54 PM CT6:54 PM ET18:54 ET22:54 GMT6:54 CST3:54 PM MST5:54 PM EST6:24 PM VEN2:54 UAE (+1)5:54 PM CT-Hearings on the grievance to overturn Alex Rodriguez's 211-game suspension recessed Friday for a month after Major League Baseball completed its direct case. The session was the eighth before arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, who unless the case is settled will decide whether to uphold the penalty issued Aug. 5, overturn it or change the length.
Analysis: Rob Manfred, MLB's chief operating officer, completed his testimony Friday. Rodriguez's legal team will call witnesses when the hearing resumes, likely the week of Nov. 18. MLB disciplined Rodriguez following its investigation of the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic, alleging the New York Yankees third baseman violated the sport's drug agreement and labor contract.
|Oct. 4 7:54 AM PT8:54 AM MT9:54 AM CT10:54 AM ET10:54 ET14:54 GMT22:54 CST7:54 AM MST9:54 AM EST10:24 AM VEN18:54 UAE9:54 AM CT-Rodriguez has sued Major League Baseball and its commissioner, saying they are trying to destroy his reputation and career.
Analysis: The lawsuit filed by the New York Yankees third baseman in New York State Supreme Court was made public Friday. It seeks unspecified damages. The suit claims Commissioner Bud Selig and Major League Baseball have tried to smear Rodriguez' reputation to "gloss over" Selig's past inaction and tacit approval of the use of performance-enhancing substances in baseball. The lawsuit says Selig wanted to secure his legacy as the "savior" of America's pastime.
|Sep. 20 10:50 AM PT11:50 AM MT12:50 PM CT1:50 PM ET13:50 ET17:50 GMT1:50 CST10:50 AM MST12:50 PM EST1:20 PM VEN21:50 UAE12:50 PM CT-Rodriguez went 0 for 3 with a walk Thursday.
Analysis: He has just one hit in his past 22 at-bats.
|Sep. 17 3:47 PM PT4:47 PM MT5:47 PM CT6:47 PM ET18:47 ET22:47 GMT6:47 CST3:47 PM MST5:47 PM EST6:17 PM VEN2:47 UAE (+1)5:47 PM CT-Rodriguez returned to the New York Yankees lineup Tuesday after leaving Sunday's game with a sore right calf. Rodriguez, who was due to bat second and be the DH, tested his calf with some pregame drills before taking part in batting practice.
Analysis: Rodriguez left Sunday's loss at Boston in the fifth inning with a strained right calf. He's also dealing with a sore left hamstring, suffered in last Tuesday's win at Baltimore.
|Sep. 10 8:28 AM PT9:28 AM MT10:28 AM CT11:28 AM ET11:28 ET15:28 GMT23:28 CST8:28 AM MST10:28 AM EST10:58 AM VEN19:28 UAE10:28 AM CT-Rodriguez belted his fifth home run and finished with two hits, but the Yankees lost 4-2 in Baltimore on Monday.
Analysis: Rodriguez, who batted second, is hitting .341 with three homers and five RBIs in his last 13 games.
|Aug. 31 9:55 AM PT10:55 AM MT11:55 AM CT12:55 PM ET12:55 ET16:55 GMT0:55 CST9:55 AM MST11:55 AM EST12:25 PM VEN20:55 UAE11:55 AM CT-Rodriguez has been scratched from New York's lineup because of flulike symptoms.
Analysis: Rodriguez was originally set to start at third base and bat fifth Saturday against the Baltimore Orioles but was removed from the lineup about 45 minutes before game time. Mark Reynolds moved from first to third base and Lyle Overbay was inserted into the eighth spot in the batting order at first base.
|Aug. 28 2:28 PM PT3:28 PM MT4:28 PM CT5:28 PM ET17:28 ET21:28 GMT5:28 CST2:28 PM MST4:28 PM EST4:58 PM VEN1:28 UAE (+1)4:28 PM CT-Rodriguez had two hits with a homer in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Jays.
Analysis: The disgraced Rodriguez owns an .842 OPS and represents a quality fantasy player at that figure.
|Aug. 21 3:43 PM PT4:43 PM MT5:43 PM CT6:43 PM ET18:43 ET22:43 GMT6:43 CST3:43 PM MST5:43 PM EST6:13 PM VEN2:43 UAE (+1)5:43 PM CT-Rodriguez says he's cutting off all non-baseball talk after a wild weekend of accusations and retaliations on and off the field. Rodriguez is not in the New York Yankees' lineup Wednesday night, a day after playing both games of a doubleheader.
Analysis: The three-time MVP says he wants to put the focus solely on baseball while the Yankees make a push for a spot in the playoffs.
|Aug. 20 9:17 AM PT10:17 AM MT11:17 AM CT12:17 PM ET12:17 ET16:17 GMT0:17 CST9:17 AM MST11:17 AM EST11:47 AM VEN20:17 UAE11:17 AM CT-Yankees manager Joe Girardi said it will be ``open season'' on Rodriguez if Major League Baseball fails to suspend Boston pitcher Ryan Dempster for hitting the New York star with a pitch.
Analysis: Dempster threw one pitch behind A-Rod's knees and two more inside at Fenway Park on Sunday. Then his 3-0 pitch struck Rodriguez's left elbow pad and ricocheted off his back. Girardi sprinted onto the field, screaming at plate umpire Brian O'Nora for not ejecting the pitcher. Girardi was tossed as the benches and bullpens emptied.
|Aug. 19 9:23 AM PT10:23 AM MT11:23 AM CT12:23 PM ET12:23 ET16:23 GMT0:23 CST9:23 AM MST11:23 AM EST11:53 AM VEN20:23 UAE11:23 AM CT-Rodriguez was hit by a fastball his first time up and then homered to start a four-run sixth inning that rallied the New York Yankees to a 9-6 win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night.
Analysis: Rodriguez finished 3 for 4 with two runs and two RBIs. He's batting .319 (15 for 47) with two homers and six RBIs in his 12 games since returning from the disabled list. The homer in Sunday's win was the 649th of his career, putting him 11 behind Willie Mays for fourth place all-time.
|Aug. 16 8:17 AM PT9:17 AM MT10:17 AM CT11:17 AM ET11:17 ET15:17 GMT23:17 CST8:17 AM MST10:17 AM EST10:47 AM VEN19:17 UAE10:17 AM CT-Members of Rodriguez's inner circle obtained and leaked documents that implicated Ryan Braun and other players in using performance-enhancing drugs, ``60 Minutes'' reported Friday.
Analysis: Citing unidentified sources, the CBS news show said the leak occurred in February, days after the Miami New Times published documents implicating the Yankees star in the Biogenesis investigation.
|Aug. 11 11:19 AM PT12:19 PM MT1:19 PM CT2:19 PM ET14:19 ET18:19 GMT2:19 CST11:19 AM MST1:19 PM EST1:49 PM VEN22:19 UAE1:19 PM CT-Rodriguez has homered for the first time since he returned last week from offseason hip surgery and being suspended 211 games for performance-enhancing drug use. He did it in a 5-4 win over Detroit on Sunday.
Analysis: A-Rod connected on Justin Verlander's second pitch of the second inning Sunday for his 648th career homer. It was the New York Yankees third baseman's 16th at-bat this season and first long ball since Sept. 14.
|Aug. 10 9:37 AM PT10:37 AM MT11:37 AM CT12:37 PM ET12:37 ET16:37 GMT0:37 CST9:37 AM MST11:37 AM EST12:07 PM VEN20:37 UAE11:37 AM CT-Rodriguez is not in the New York Yankees' lineup a day after striking out three times in his Bronx debut this season.
Analysis: Manager Joe Girardi says it's just a day off for Rodriguez. Girardi might've played the slugger Saturday in a day game that is set to begin about 13 hours after the Yankees beat Detroit 4-3 in 10 innings.
|Aug. 8 3:42 PM PT4:42 PM MT5:42 PM CT6:42 PM ET18:42 ET22:42 GMT6:42 CST3:42 PM MST5:42 PM EST6:12 PM VEN2:42 UAE (+1)5:42 PM CT-Rodriguez is 3 for 11 with two walks this season ahead of Friday's home debut against Detroit.
Analysis: This shapes up as a tough weekend for A-Rod, who faces Rick Porcello, Anibal Sanchez and Justin Verlander. He somehow homered twice off Verlander last year but that seems light years ago. He also figures to get a true 'Bronx' cheer' from the Yankees faithful. It's a high-pressure situation so it's hard to expect A-Rod to come up big against the AL champions with the spotlight clearly on him.
|Aug. 7 2:28 PM PT3:28 PM MT4:28 PM CT5:28 PM ET17:28 ET21:28 GMT5:28 CST2:28 PM MST4:28 PM EST4:58 PM VEN1:28 UAE (+1)4:28 PM CT-The Major League Baseball Players Association has formally appealed Alex Rodriguez's 211-game suspension. The New York Yankees slugger was suspended through the 2014 season on Monday when the league penalized 13 players following an investigation into Biogenesis of America, a shuttled Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs.
Analysis: The other 12 players accepted 50-game suspensions, but Rodriguez said he planned to fight. Union head Michael Weiner said the punishment for the third baseman was "way out of line." Rodriguez is allowed to keep playing until Wednesday's grievance is heard by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, who isn't expected to rule until November or December at the earliest.
|Aug. 6 4:40 PM PT5:40 PM MT6:40 PM CT7:40 PM ET19:40 ET23:40 GMT7:40 CST4:40 PM MST6:40 PM EST7:10 PM VEN3:40 UAE (+1)6:40 PM CT-Rodriguez is the designated hitter rather than playing third base in his second game back with the New York Yankees on Tuesday.
Analysis: Manager Joe Girardi says Rodriguez was feeling fine, but he decided not to play him in the field against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night. Girardi said Rodriguez probably will play third on Wednesday and that he wants to use him more in the field than at DH.
|Aug. 6 9:02 AM PT10:02 AM MT11:02 AM CT12:02 PM ET12:02 ET16:02 GMT0:02 CST9:02 AM MST11:02 AM EST11:32 AM VEN20:02 UAE11:02 AM CT-Rodriguez was 1 for 4 with a bloop single in New York's 8-1 road loss to the White Sox on Monday, his season debut.
Analysis: Controversy aside, Rodriguez's right-handed bat in the middle of the lineup could be what the Yankees need.
|Aug. 5 4:14 PM PT5:14 PM MT6:14 PM CT7:14 PM ET19:14 ET23:14 GMT7:14 CST4:14 PM MST6:14 PM EST6:44 PM VEN3:14 UAE (+1)6:14 PM CT-Rodriguez says he's fighting for his life. The embattled New York Yankees' slugger did not deny using performance enhancing drugs on Monday in a news conference after Major League Baseball suspended him through the 2014 season. He said he will talk about whether he used PEDs at another time when he is more free to speak.
Analysis: He did, however, dig in for a battle, saying no one else will defend him unless he stands up for himself. In A-Rod's words: "I'm a human being. I've had two hip surgeries. I've had two knee surgeries. I'm fighting for my life." The three-time MVP was one of 13 players disciplined on Monday, one of the biggest mass suspensions in the history of the game.
|Aug. 5 10:52 AM PT11:52 AM MT12:52 PM CT1:52 PM ET13:52 ET17:52 GMT1:52 CST10:52 AM MST12:52 PM EST1:22 PM VEN21:52 UAE12:52 PM CT-Rodriguez was suspended through 2014 on Monday when Major League Baseball disciplined 13 players in a drug case - the most sweeping punishment since the Black Sox scandal nearly a century ago.
Analysis: The harshest penalty was reserved for Rodriguez, the New York Yankees slugger, a three-time Most Valuable Player and baseball's highest-paid star. He said he would appeal his suspension, which covers 211 games, by Thursday's deadline. And since arbitrator Fredric Horowitz isn't expected to rule until November or December, Rodriguez is free to play the rest of this season. Fantasy owners should take full advantage and start him.
|Aug. 1 12:39 PM PT1:39 PM MT2:39 PM CT3:39 PM ET15:39 ET19:39 GMT3:39 CST12:39 PM MST2:39 PM EST3:09 PM VEN23:39 UAE2:39 PM CT-Two people familiar with the talks tell The Associated Press that Major League Baseball and the New York Yankees have turned down requests to meet with Rodriguez's camp and the union about the embattled star's expected drug penalty.
Analysis: The overtures were made Saturday, two days before MLB was poised to hand Rodriguez a lengthy suspension for his part in the Biogenesis case. There hasn't been any definite word on the severity of Rodriguez's looming penalty, with speculation ranging from a lifetime ban to a suspension through the 2014 season.
|July 31 1:42 PM PT2:42 PM MT3:42 PM CT4:42 PM ET16:42 ET20:42 GMT4:42 CST1:42 PM MST3:42 PM EST4:12 PM VEN0:42 UAE (+1)3:42 PM CT-Rodriguez didn't stop to talk with reporters after his rehabilitation session at the team's minor league complex, two days before Major League Baseball is likely to suspend the New York Yankees third baseman for his connection to a clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs.
Analysis: Coming back from January hip surgery and strained quadriceps he hurt in late July, Rodriguez increased the intensity of his leg workout by taking on-field batting practice and running the bases at the Yankees' minor league complex. Rodriguez could be sent to Double-A Trenton for a new rehab assignment on Friday - but a suspension would prevent him from playing in any major or minor league games unless the penalty is stayed.
|July 29 5:04 PM PT6:04 PM MT7:04 PM CT8:04 PM ET20:04 ET0:04 GMT8:04 CST5:04 PM MST7:04 PM EST7:34 PM VEN4:04 UAE (+1)7:04 PM CT-Major League Baseball may try to suspend Rodriguez under its collective bargaining agreement instead of its drug rules, The Associated Press has learned.
Analysis: Why does that matter? Because if MLB goes ahead with the suspension under the labor deal, it means the Yankees slugger would lose virtually any chance of delaying the penalty while he appeals the case. Rodriguez has never been disciplined for a drug offense, and a first offender under baseball's Joint Drug Agreement is entitled to an automatic stay if the players' union files a grievance. That means the penalty is put on hold until after an arbitrator rules.
|July 25 1:43 PM PT2:43 PM MT3:43 PM CT4:43 PM ET16:43 ET20:43 GMT4:43 CST1:43 PM MST3:43 PM EST4:13 PM VEN0:43 UAE (+1)3:43 PM CT-A person familiar with the Yankees' deliberations says the team intends to discipline Rodriguez for seeking a second medical opinion on his injured leg without New York's permission.
Analysis: The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized, said the type of penalty had not yet been determined. A fine appeared to be the most likely option. The person also said that during a conference call Thursday, the Yankees and Rodriguez agreed to a timetable that would have the third baseman resume minor league rehabilitation games or simulated games around Aug. 1.
|July 25 10:40 AM PT11:40 AM MT12:40 PM CT1:40 PM ET13:40 ET17:40 GMT1:40 CST10:40 AM MST12:40 PM EST1:10 PM VEN21:40 UAE12:40 PM CT-Rodriguez says he's ready to rejoin the New York Yankees.
Analysis: A day after a doctor retained by A-Rod contradicted the team's diagnosis of a strained quadriceps, Rodriguez pushed for the Yankees to activate him from the disabled list for Friday's homestand opener against Tampa Bay. Rodriguez issued a statement Thursday saying, ``I feel great and I'm ready and want to be in the lineup Friday night. Enough doctors. Let's play.''
|July 24 6:22 PM PT7:22 PM MT8:22 PM CT9:22 PM ET21:22 ET1:22 GMT9:22 CST6:22 PM MST8:22 PM EST8:52 PM VEN5:22 UAE (+1)8:22 PM CT-A doctor retained by Rodriguez for a second opinion - one that contradicted the New York Yankees' diagnosis of his leg injury Wednesday - was reprimanded this year by New Jersey's board of medical examiners over steroid prescriptions. The New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners filed an order of reprimand against Dr. Michael Gross on Feb. 13 for his conduct at his Active Center for Health & Wellness.
Analysis: Rodriguez was diagnosed Sunday with a strained left quadriceps on the final day of his injury rehabilitation assignment. At the time, the Yankees said the three-time MVP was examined by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, where an MRI was performed. The team said Rodriguez had a grade one strain, which is the least severe type, and would return to Tampa for rest and treatment. But Gross said during an interview on WFAN radio.
|July 24 8:59 AM PT9:59 AM MT10:59 AM CT11:59 AM ET11:59 ET15:59 GMT23:59 CST8:59 AM MST10:59 AM EST11:29 AM VEN19:59 UAE10:59 AM CT-Rodriguez has reported back to the New York Yankees' minor league complex, three days after he was diagnosed with a strained left quadriceps on the final day of his injury rehabilitation assignment.
Analysis: Rodriguez, under investigation by Major League Baseball for his reported ties to a clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs, did not speak with reporters when he arrived in a SUV shortly after 11 a.m. Wednesday. The third baseman, who turns 38 on Saturday, had been recovering from hip surgery in January. He hit .250 (8 for 40) with two homers and eight RBIs in 13 minor league games before the leg injury.
|July 21 11:12 AM PT12:12 PM MT1:12 PM CT2:12 PM ET14:12 ET18:12 GMT2:12 CST11:12 AM MST1:12 PM EST1:42 PM VEN22:12 UAE1:12 PM CT-The Yankees say Alex Rodriguez is expected to have an MRI on his injured left quadriceps at a New York hospital on Sunday.
Analysis: Rodriguez played designated hitter on Saturday in a minor league game after feeling tightness in the thigh muscle. He has been rehabbing from surgery in January on his left hip.
|July 15 6:55 PM PT7:55 PM MT8:55 PM CT9:55 PM ET21:55 ET1:55 GMT9:55 CST6:55 PM MST8:55 PM EST9:25 PM VEN5:55 UAE (+1)8:55 PM CT-Rodriguez went 0 for 3 with a sacrifice fly in his second rehab game with Double-A Trenton, playing seven innings in the Thunder's game against the Reading Fightin Phils on Tuesday night.
Analysis: His status for Wednesday's game in Reading has not been announced.
|July 14 1:10 PM PT2:10 PM MT3:10 PM CT4:10 PM ET16:10 ET20:10 GMT4:10 CST1:10 PM MST3:10 PM EST3:40 PM VEN0:10 UAE (+1)3:10 PM CT-Rodriguez had a run-scoring double and two RBIs for Class A Tampa on Sunday, his first extra-base hit during a minor league rehabilitation assignment.
Analysis: Rodriguez was 1 for 3 with a walk as the designated hitter against Bradenton. Coming back from hip surgery in January, he is scheduled to join Double-A Trenton for Monday's Eastern League game at Reading in Pennsylvania.
|July 13 4:25 PM PT5:25 PM MT6:25 PM CT7:25 PM ET19:25 ET23:25 GMT7:25 CST4:25 PM MST6:25 PM EST6:55 PM VEN3:25 UAE (+1)6:25 PM CT-Rodriguez went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts for the Tampa Yankees on Saturday, dropping to 2 for 18 (.111) with one RBI and six strikeouts in his injury rehabilitation assignment
Analysis: One day after meeting with Major League Baseball officials probing the distribution of banned performance-enhancing drugs, the New York Yankees third baseman played seven innings in the field. He also was hit by a pitch. Rodriguez, coming back from January hip surgery, has played seven games for Tampa and Charleston, both Class A farm teams. His rehab assignment can extend through July 21.
|July 12 6:13 PM PT7:13 PM MT8:13 PM CT9:13 PM ET21:13 ET1:13 GMT9:13 CST6:13 PM MST8:13 PM EST8:43 PM VEN5:13 UAE (+1)8:13 PM CT-The next rehab appearance for Rodriguez has been postponed by rain. Rodriguez, coming back from hip surgery in January, was scheduled to play third base on Friday night for Class A Tampa, but the game was washed out.
Analysis: Rodriguez was expected to be interviewed by Major League Baseball investigators Friday as part of the probe into the closed anti-aging clinic Biogenesis, which is accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. Rodriguez has said he used PEDs while with Texas from 2001-03 but has denied using them since. A-Rod was not at Steinbrenner Field when Friday's game was called, marking the second straight day he did not speak with reporters.
|July 11 5:30 PM PT6:30 PM MT7:30 PM CT8:30 PM ET20:30 ET0:30 GMT8:30 CST5:30 PM MST7:30 PM EST8:00 PM VEN4:30 UAE (+1)7:30 PM CT-Rodriguez had his latest minor league rehab game postponed by rain. Thursday's game for Class A was called after one-half inning.
Analysis: Rodriguez is expected to be interviewed by Major League Baseball investigators Friday as part of the probe into the closed anti-aging clinic Biogenesis, which is accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs.

The island was exactly what I was looking for. Great size, plenty of extra space to store things and a nice size counter top. The only drawback with this piece was that 1) we had to redrill holes to allow for the shelving to be leveled (had we not, the shelf would of been lopsided) and 2) putting the draw in proved to be difficult. Other than those two quality related issues, I love the way it looks in my kitchen and since it's been up, I've received lots of compliments on it.
Love it! This is a heavy, sturdy piece. Assembley is really a two-person job. Our guests cannot believe it came from an online vendor. It's beautiful and is a great piece for creating extra counter space and storage. It has a big "footprint" so measuring first is important. We recommend you assemble it in the exact space you want it to be. Because of its weight, it doesn't slide easily and sliding may damage flooring.
I love the Nantucket Distressed White Finish Kitchen Island, it is very heavy and sturdy, I put it together by myself, but I had to have help putting the top on. It came with little specks all over it, so I didn't care to much that because I though it had paint on it, but since it was all over it I guess that is the wood. You only can see it if you really look.
Loving my island. One problem, if I knew it came in a box thinner than 6" I would NOT have ordered. For $*** I would expected the piece to be altogether. Thank goodness my husband is crafty enough to build this island. It took about 5 hours to put together. For $*** I want it delivered and put in house without building. I would NOT recommend this to any of my friends. they don't want to build this either. I will definitely check items for building instructions.
A lovely addition to our home. Took a bit to put together but worth it in the end. Be careful of the black granite inlay as it can stain easily especially using oils etc. Overall couldn't be happier!
The kitchen Island came in two big boxes, so be careful the very very heavy. I assembled this product by myself , A little hard for one person, two people would be a lot easier. I think the product was pretty good considering the quality of furniture today. I was very pleased the way it turned out I was very satisfied with the product.
Its a very functional piece and I love it absolutely amazing heavy so need help putting it together. It stores all my large appliances and stoneware.

text: My folks are wanting to make their home more accessible for my eleven year old niece who is confined to a wheelchair. We're beginning an expansion of their masterbath that will help significantly. Part of the new bath will be a large walk-in shower. They would like to incorporate a curbless design so the floor of the shower will be flush with the floor of the bathroom. The main question is whether this will be possible to do. I know in new construction they make the slab lower than the slab in the rest of the house in order to accomodate the shower pan. Any resources on how this can be accomplished with existing construction would be greatly appreciated. Water and drain lines are beinging moved so some cutting of the foundation is already being planned. Let me know ya'll's thoughts on this.

Adobe Business Catalyst is a unified hosting platform that enables you to work in your preferred editing environment to create sites that meet client requirements, without any server-side coding. The Business Catalyst hosting solution provides website management tools, email marketing, e-commerce, and an integrated customer database that makes it easy to build and publish websites.
With Adobe web hosting you receive 5 sites powered by Business Catalyst.
Adobe Web Hosting has dynamic, built-in modules and features. You'll have an FTP account to upload web pages, CSS, SWF files, JavaScript, and images. Most nonprogramming-related tasks you can do with a regular web hosting company are now provided with this package.
Once your clients log in, they will have immediate access to their contact database, orders, web form submissions, products, catalogs, web pages, and email marketing campaigns from one central location — all built to work together.
Business Catalyst enables you to build powerful online businesses for your clients. Editing options are intended for on-the-fly content editing (for example, editing a simple web page). In order to customize the overall design, layout, and look of sites, you should have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS.
Adobe has built a dedicated extension that allows you to manage your Business Catalyst website directly inside the Dreamweaver user interface. The Business Catalyst extension works on Mac OS and Windows® operating systems. Download the extension here.
Business Catalyst does not limit your creative freedom whatsoever. You have complete control over the HTML and CSS that you put into the system.
Because Adobe respects your HTML code and won't change it, your website's XHTML standards compliance will depend on the HTML code that you create. However, if you do insert any system modules onto your web pages, the code generated by the system will be compliant.
For paid sites you can use your own web address or domain name. You can either redelegate your domain and use the Adobe DNS servers, or create an A record in your existing DNS service to point your domain to your new site at Business Catalyst — it's up to you. For instructions on this, see our Knowledgebase article. Note that if you are a Premium partner and wish to use our rebranding features, you will need to redelegate the domain to Adobe.
Yes. Anything you can run on another HTML page or on your blog should work just fine. At a base level, Business Catalyst is like any other web hosting platform.
There are a number of ways you can collect payments. You can use any of the existing payment gateways already supported, such as Authorize.Net, Google Checkout, or PayPal. Or you can opt to use the "Process Offline" method in which you capture payment details from customers, and then process them manually using your existing point-of-sale (POS) system. You can also enable customers to choose to pay by check or COD. This feature is not provided by the basic Web Hosting, but can be acquired with a paid Business Catalyst Website.
Yes. You get access to FTP to speed up managing your Business Catalyst website. You can even access system templates and layouts via FTP.
You can use the built-in workflow framework to choose who you want notified each time a customer inquires and how you want them to be notified, for example, via email, SMS, or both. If you want SMS notifications, you can buy a suitable SMS pack.
Yes. When you paste the HTML code for any of your web forms into your web pages, you can completely change the layout and use your own CSS to customize it to look the way you like.
No. Adobe does not take any portion of your client's online sales. However, the payment gateway or bank may charge a fee to process payments.
Refer to the buying guide for more information.
No, there is no limit at this time.
Yes. Adobe provides extensive APIs that allow you to connect most third-party systems to Business Catalyst. For example, you'll be able to synchronize your inventory, view recent orders, get a customer list, and more.
No. This solution is designed to fulfill most business needs without requiring you to hire programmers, and running server-side code such as PHP, ASP, and .NET is not supported.
The solution automatically generates a sitemap that Google, Yahoo!, and Bing can use, helping to ensure that your website gets maximum visibility through these popular search engines.
Yes. You can easily add Google Analytics, which you can get directly from Google APIs, to any Adobe hosted site and get the rich reporting features that it provides. The system also provides a built-in advanced reporting system with every site, which you can use without any extra configuration.
Yes. This solution has Unicode support. To create a multilingual site, simply create a collection of web pages for each language that you wish to support and link to them from a central location on your website.
No. You can have as many catalogs and products as you like.
Yes. Business Catalyst has support for using multiple currencies in your online store. You can set up your store so that customers from different geographies automatically see the right price and currency, helping to maximize your conversions. This feature is not available in the basic Web Hosting package but can be purchased separately from Business Catalyst.
Yes. With the Business Catalyst e-commerce functionality, you can sell both physical and electronic products. In the case of electronic products, the system will automatically provide your customers who have made a successful payment for their purchase with a link to download the products. You can limit how many times an electronic product is downloaded after purchase.
The Administration area is available in English, French, German, Spanish, and Swedish. Currently there are no plans to add other language support for the Administration area. However, this does not affect the languages in which you can make your actual website available.
There are a number of ways you can use the Business Catalyst product:
The data centers that host Business Catalyst are located in Tier 4 data center facilities, and the servers have:
All of the data center facilities are connected to the Internet via Tier 1 networks, or have peering arrangements with Tier 1 networks. This means that the servers are essentially hooked in to the "backbone" of the Internet, which generally results in higher network speeds and lower latency from your customer's browser to the servers. Adobe uses reasonable efforts to make the services available 24x7.
The Business Catalyst data centers are located on three continents to help customers receive optimum response times from their websites:
Adobe Web Hosting has a highly fault-tolerant server configuration in its data centers. All servers also have regular full and differential backups. However, it is important to note that recovery procedures cannot be initiated for individual file backups, as they are intended to perform "full recovery" of the servers in the event of a hardware or software failure only.
At an individual site level, we provide several backup options for customers. You can use FTP to copy your web pages, templates, and layouts as often as you see fit. A Customer Report Generator can be used to export all customer-related information at your convenience.

You will need to obtain the customer's credit card details before upgrading the customer from a trial site to a paid site.
Alternately, you can have the billing relationship with your customer.

Saban should say: "why would I leave a job where I have it made? I can ask for anything and get it. Would you leave a job like that?
When Nick Saban was the coach of the Miami Dolphins, he did what all coaches do when they're asked if they're mulling a job offer from elsewhere — he lied. Saban was trying to keep his team from quitting on him so he kiboshed rumors that he would be heading to the University of Alabama. Peppered with questions about the Tide's job again and again, Saban made the mistake of finally giving a definitive answer. "I'm not going to be the Alabama coach," he famously said.
And then he took the Bama job when the Dolphins' season ended and he's been branded as untrustworthy ever since. (Our view: Alert us if a coach ever says, "Why, yes, I am looking to get out of here.")
That "lie" is why Saban is having such a hard time closing the door on rumors that he might leave Tuscaloosa to go back to the National Football League this year. He tried to shut that door in his post-BCS championship presser earlier this week. But on ESPN radio this morning, Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic asked him once more about the NFL buzz. Saban tried to slam the door shut once and for all with this reply:
"I don't know how many times I have to say it. You guys don't believe it. Every time I do an interview, I have to say the same thing and you all don't believe so why do I have to keep saying it. I closed the door. Now it's two days later and you're asking me to close the door again. The damn hinges are wore out…
It depends on really what you want. A part of coaching to me is you try to help players develop personally. You want to help them develop them to be all they can be. You want them to be more successful in your life because they were part of your program.
In the NFL, it's not really that way. It's all about people having success in their careers as football players. It's a business. It just depends on what do you enjoy the most. I kind of like seeing these guys grow and develop."
Sounds good. This writer believes him.
But that won't stop the NFL rumors from swirling now and in the future.
Just as Kentucky fans have to put up with rumors every spring that John Calipari will jump to the NBA, every January Alabama fans will have to worry about chatter that Saban is eyeballing a return to the pro game.
As long as Saban is at Alabama — and Calipari is at Kentucky, for that matter — rumors will always fly that they're looking to test themselves on the biggest stage once more. In both cases, we'll believe it when we see it.

In August 2012, the Animal Legal & Historical Center celebrated its 10th anniversary. Over the years, with the help of many individuals, we've added thousands of files that are accessed across the globe. We believe this site is the largest legal website devoted to animal issues in the world. Unsurprisingly, the website's most sought after materials relate to the many issues that dogs provide our society.
Our peak usage day (Monday) has well over 6,000 unique visitors. Yet unlike a physical library, we are unable to have casual conversations with our users. So to gain feedback, please share your comments at email@example.com. Tell us about your use of the site. What could we add to the site? How could the site be easier to use? Any and all thoughts and comments are welcome. Since Michigan State University College of Law is very generous with its financial support of this site, your feedback helps ensure this site's growth and presence for the next ten years. Thank you!

Endangered Species Act (ESA) turned 40 in December 2013. On December 28th, this landmark piece of legislation turned 40 years old. The act is credited with recovering several species from the brink of extinction including the bald eagle, Stellar sea lion, and American alligator. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration created a 40th anniversary webpage that highlights the history of the act through the decades as well as species affected by the act in all 50 states. View this interactive resource at http://www.fws.gov/endangered/ESA40/index.html.
USDA-APHIS announces an on-line complaint form for Animal Welfare Act (AWA) violations. The AWA is a federal is a federal law that covers animals used in research, exhibition, transportation, and animals sold by dealers. The act establishes minimum standards of care for animals covered under the act. It also requires these animal dealers or exhibitors to be licensed and submit to periodic inspections by the USDA's Animal Plant and Health Inspection Services (APHIS). Some examples of animal owners that would fall under the AWA include large scale commercial dog breeders that sell to pet stores or other dog brokers, owners of traveling exotic animal exhibitions, and university animal research facilities. To view the on-line form, see http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare. See our AWA Topic Area to learn more about the Act.
Ohio's Dangerous Animal Wild Animals Law goes into effect January 1, 2014. Ohio's comprehensive law aimed at restricting ownership of dangerous wild animals such as big cats, wolves, alligators, nonhuman primates, and certain snakes became effective this month. No person may possess listed species after January 1, 2014. Additionally, the act prohibits the purchase, transfer, or ownership of such species unless authorization or a rescue facility permit was obtained prior to January 1st. Current owners of dangerous wild animals were required to obtain registration permits back in 2012 to become grandfathered into the new law. The law was enacted in the wake of tragedy in Zanesville, Ohio in 2011 after an owner of more than 50 exotic big cats released them before taking his own life. Officers had to kill nearly all the animals to prevent harm to the community.
Biomedical research labs receive large fines for continued animal welfare violations. The Harvard Medical School lab was fined in December over $24,000 for repeated Animal Welfare Act (AWA) violations from February 2011 to July 2012. The incidents included the death of two primates from dehydration and the death of one monkey from becoming entangled in a chain while playing. To read the report of the violations, see http://www.aphis.usda.gov/foia/enforcement_actions/2013/November/Animal%20Welfare%20Act%20(AWA)/Stipulations/MA12004-AC%20Harvard%20Medical%20School%2011-07-13.pdf. Similarly, TRS Labs, Inc. of Athens, Georgia was fined over $26,000 for violations from 2012 to 2013 for inadequate veterinary care for lab animals and substandard housing enclosures for dogs at the facility. To read the report, see http://www.aphis.usda.gov/foia/enforcement_actions/2013/October/Animal%20Welfare%20Act%20(AWA)/Stipulations/GA120036-AC_TRSLabs%2010202013.pdf
Lower courts refuse writs of habeas corpus for captive chimpanzees in NY, finding that they are not "legal persons;" cases now move to appellate level. The Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, demanding that a chimp named "Tommy" be released from private captivity to a sanctuary that is part of the North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance (NAPSA). Tommy is said to be held captive in a cage located in a shed that stands on a used trailer lot. More suits on behalf of other captive chimps in the state are said to follow. The supporting affidavits offer support from scientists around the world that chimpanzees are self-aware and autonomous and should therefore be recognized as legal "persons." Read the filings in this court case. To find out more about the NhRP, see http://www.nonhumanrights.org/.

Pod cast of common issues
While animal cruelty is never a laughing matter, it is interesting to learn of certain activities that must be included under state anti-cruelty provisions rather than outlawed by common sense. In Missouri, bear wrestling is defined as "a contest of fighting or physical altercation between one or more persons and a bear for the purpose of amusement, entertainment, wagering or gain." Bear wrestling is also unlawful in Oklahoma, punishable by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding one year, or by a fine of not more than $2,000, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Finally, Arkansas refers to such acts as "unlawful bear exploitation," which is a Class D felony.

The always successful CSI: MIAMI caps the night at 10:00 PM.
The New Dramas are:
UNFORGETTABLE stars Poppy Montgomery as Carrie Wells, an enigmatic former police detective with a rare condition that makes her memory so flawless that every place, every conversation, every moment of joy and every heartbreak is forever embedded in her mind. It's not just that she doesn't forget anything – she can't; except for one thing: the details that would help solve her sister's long-ago murder. Carrie has tried to put her past behind her, but she's unexpectedly reunited with her ex-boyfriend and partner, NYPD Detective Al Burns (Dylan Walsh), when she consults on a homicide case. His squad includes Det. Mike Costello (Michael Gaston), Al's right-hand man; Detective Roe Saunders (Kevin Rankin), the junior member of the team; and Detective Nina Inara (Daya Vaidya), a sassy, street-smart cop. Being back on the job after a break feels surprisingly right for Carrie. Despite her conflicted feelings for Al, she decides to permanently join his unit as a detective solving homicides – most notably, the unsolved murder of her sister. All she needs to do is remember. Ed Redlich, John Bellucci, Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly are executive producers for Sony Television Studios in association with CBS Television Studios.
PERSON OF INTEREST stars Jim Caviezel, Emmy Award winner Michael Emerson and Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson in a crime thriller about a presumed dead former-CIA agent who teams up with a mysterious billionaire to prevent violent crimes by using their own brand of vigilante justice. Reese's (Caviezel) special training in covert operations appeals to Finch (Emerson), a software genius who invented a program that uses pattern recognition to identify people about to be involved in violent crimes. Using state-of-the-art surveillance technology, the two work outside of the law using Reese's adept skills and Finch's unlimited wealth to unravel the mystery of the person of interest and stop the crime before it happens. Reese's actions catch the attention of the NYPD, including homicide detective Carter (Henson), and Fusco (Kevin Chapman), a cop who Reese uses to his advantage. With infinite crimes to investigate, Reese and Finch find that the right person, with the right information, at the right time, can change everything. Emmy Award winnersJ.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk ("Lost"), Academy Award nominee Jonathan Nolan ("Memento"), David Semel ("Heroes") and Greg Plageman ("Cold Case") are the executive producers for Warner Bros. Television.
A GIFTED MAN is a drama about a brilliant, charismatic surgeon whose life changes forever when his deceased ex-wife begins teaching him the meaning of life from the "hereafter." Michael Holt (Patrick Wilson) is an exceptional doctor who lives a materialistic life of luxury thanks to his work-obsessed career and powerful and wealthy patients; however, Michael's ordered world is rocked when his ex-wife, Anna (Jennifer Ehle), an idealistic free-clinic doctor and the love of his life, mysteriously appears to him. Michael's off-beat sister, Christina (Julie Benz), a single mom to her teenaged son, Milo (Liam Aiken), is thrilled that Anna's back in her brother's life, even as an "illusion," because Michael was always a better person with her. Curious about Michael's sudden change in behavior is his efficient assistant, Rita (Margo Martindale). When Anna asks Michael to go to her clinic to help keep it running, he meets Autumn (Afton Williamson), a volunteer carrying on Anna's work with the underprivileged. Touched by those in need and accepting of Anna's compassionate "presence," Michael's attitude toward serving the rich and poor is turned upside down, and he begins to see that there's room in his life for everyone. Academy Award nominee Susannah Grant ("Erin Brockovich"), Academy Award winner Jonathan Demme ("The Silence of the Lambs"), Sarah Timberman, Carl Beverly and Neal Baer ("ER") are executive producers for CBS Television Studios.
The New Comedies are:
2 BROKE GIRLS is a comedy about two young women waitressing at a greasy spoon diner who strike up an unlikely friendship in the hopes of launching a successful business – if only they can raise the cash. Sassy, streetwise Max (Kat Dennings) works two jobs just to get by, one of which is waiting tables during the night shift at the retro-hip Williamsburg Diner. Sophisticated Caroline (Beth Behrs) is an uptown trust fund princess who's having a run of bad luck that forces her to reluctantly give waitressing a shot. At first, Max sees Caroline as yet another in a long line of inept servers she must cover for, but she's surprised to find that Caroline has as much substance as she does style. When Caroline discovers Max's knack for baking amazing cupcakes, she sees a lucrative future for them, but they first need to raise the start-up money. While they save their tips, they'll stay at the restaurant, working with Oleg (Jonathan Kite), an overly flirtatious Russian cook; Earl (Garrett Morris), a 75-year-old kool-kat cashier; and Han Lee (Matthew Moy), the new, eager-to-please owner of the diner. Working together, these two broke girls living in one expensive city might just find the perfect recipe for their big break. Michael Patrick King ("Sex and the City") and writer-comedian Whitney Cummings ("Chelsea Lately") are executive producers for Warner Bros. Television.
HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN, inspired by the book of the same name, is a comedy about the unlikely friendship between a traditional, refined writer and an unrefined personal trainer. Andrew Carlson (David Hornsby) is an etiquette columnist whose devotion to ideals from a more civilized time has lead to a life detached from modern society. Infectiously optimistic, Bert Lansing (Kevin Dillon) is a reformed "bad boy" from Andrew's past who inherited a fitness center, but can still be rude, loud and sloppy. When Andrew's editor, Jerry (Dave Foley), tells him to put a modern, sexy twist on his column or be fired, he hires Bert as a life coach in the hopes of learning to be less "gentle man" and more "real man." Andrew's mom, Diane (Nancy Lenehan), and his bossy sister, Janet (Mary Lynn Rajskub), support the plan, as would Janet's husband, Mike (Rhys Darby), if he was allowed to have an opinion. Though Andrew and Bert's views may be centuries apart, they may find they're each other's missing link. David Hornsby ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"), Adam Chase ("Friends"), Ted Schachter ("The Invention of Lying"), Joe Hipps and Modi Wiczyk are executive producers for CBS Television Studios.
