For Heavens' Sake: Replay!
We will never know what would've followed: Adrian Beltre could have popped up on the next pitch, or homered igniting a 15-run rally, or torn his ACL running out a grounder, or anything in between.
But replays, taking less than sixty seconds of real time to watch, showed conclusively that Beltre fouled a ball off his foot with one out in the ninth against Jason Motte of the Cardinals in Game One of the 2011 World Series, and, unfortunately, home plate umpire Jerry Layne missed it, and called Beltre out on a grounder to third.
There has got to be a way to make those replays useful in the process by which the toughest calls, requiring the keenest judgment and the most chances to get them right, do not become unfortunate shadows on critical games – especially ones as well played as this Series opener.
I'm not calling for mandatory replay, just what I asked for after the heartbreaking screwup by Jim Joyce that cost Armando Galarraga his perfect game in 2010: some kind of option that lets the umps utilize the staggering advances in technology that appear on the scene every year. I know that the Airport Screening Cam added tonight by Fox looked hysterically funny and even grotesquely retro – but why not utilize it? You can go with an umpire's option to check a replay himself, or a seventh ump in the booth with a replay array, even something that requires the replay review be completed in 90 seconds, or anything you like, but let's get the right call made, as often as possible.
And I'm sorry, I don't buy the "human element" argument in the least. Can anybody argue that tennis has been adversely affected since the electronic systems started determining baseline calls, rather than the imperfect ruling of an official too far away to see it clearly? I honor the umpires and think them among the most noble figures in the game, and agree that nobody's perfect nor should be expected to be. But these aren't arguments against improved and increased replay use – they're arguments for it. Let's give them every tool, and stop making them feel ashamed or incompetent if they choose to use them.
If it's at all possible, I don't want to know what an umpire thought happened. I want to know what happened.
The Beltre play may have been decisive, or it may have been trivial. But with a batter incapable of faking a wince fast enough on a ball off his foot, plus Beltre's not running to first, plus the likelihood that only contact with an uneven, hard surface such as the front of his shoe could have made a ball angling so oddly off the bat then move on such a straight line to the third baseman, all the factors were present for exactly the kind of call the best of umpires should love to have a second look at, and all the technology is now available to get that second look accomplished in literally seconds.
It's time.

As a Cardinals fan, I really want to disagree with you because of this one minute instance.
But as a baseball fan, I completely agree with you. I think the NFL's implementation has turned some people off to replays, but each of the 4 major sports has implemented a replay in some way (even baseball for home runs). The replay should be completely in the umpires' control, and should be requested by an umpiring crew decision, or by an additional replay umpire, like in NCAA football. It's time, MLB. Officials should be comfortable asking for a second look at a play that they didn't have the best angle on, or that the crew disagrees about. Stop with the stubborn blue-can't-be-wrong attitude and let the umpires decide when they're wrong. Heck, even expand the strict enforcement of questioning the umpire's ruling to discourage appeals for a replay.
Getting it right the second time is better than getting it wrong the first time.
'Can anybody argue that tennis has been adversely affected since the electronic systems started determining baseline calls, rather than the imperfect ruling of an official too far away to see it clearly?'
Exactly Keith. And what about Football? And NASCAR ? Replay systems made them work better for everybody ~
Umpires making wrong calls are part of the game since it's inception. Keep the Human Element.
So were undersized equipment, a legal spitball, the option of retiring a runner by hitting him with a thrown ball, and even institutionalized racism. When technology and human progress developed, so did the game.
If the hardest part of implementing instant replay is writing the rules under which it would be used, it's long overdue to come in.
I think any long-time Cardinal fan would agree. How soon we forget The Evil one, AKA Don Denkinger. But still, I consider the call you referenced merely a small karmic payback for the travesty suffered in 1985.
Come on, Keith, you call yourself a purest when it comes to the wild card, but you want replays?? Besides, it wasn't conclusive. And OK, fine, does that mean we get back the '85 series??
Sorry that you don't understand how to interpret the image, but it was absolutely conclusive. So conclusive, in fact, that an observer in the booth made the correct call in less time than it took the home-plate umpire to finish his brief discussion with Ron Washington.
The white flash that appeared on Beltre's toe in the replay was heat generated by the friction of contact of the ball with his shoe. No contact, no friction, no flash—that simple.
But clearly there was contact, and so the ball was foul.
And I'm a neutral observer—I'd love to see the Rangers win, but I'd also like to see Lance Berkman get a World Series ring. Whatever happens, I'd like to see the fates of the players depend on their performance on the field. There, and not in the umpiring, is the human element we should seek to preserve in this game.
As much as I agree that there should be expanded use of replay, I don't think the result would have changed. Even in football, there has to be conclusive proof to overturn a call. I'm not sure there's enough there to say it is 100% went off his foot.
As KO stated, who knows if that play would have been momentous or meaningless. Fact is, in the biggest games, isn't getting it right imperative? Maybe the managers could have challenges a la the NFL. I've been watching the pitiful Rangers my whole life. I don't want them to lost on a screwup. Payback for Denkinger? If you're still upset about that, as I can understand as a fan, then the last thing you want is for that to possibly ever happen again.
But, sadly, there's a reason baseball is no longer the top sport for fans. The game's beauty pulls us back in, but the ugly parts (this, overpopulation, the Juiced Era, not enough playoff teams, etc.) turn us off.
The only issue I have with replay is where does it stop? We start with the boundary rulings on home runs (did it clear the fence?; was it fair/foul?). Where do we go next? Fair/foul balls? Catch/No catch? Close plays just at the plate? At the bases? Dead balls off of a foot or leg? Do we replay check swings? Called third strikes? Ball and strikes? It's a slippery slope. There are plenty of plays in the history of baseball that you could make an argument should have been replayed to get the call right. I just want to know where it ends. Because eventually they'll be arguing for replay on every pitch (I know that's a bit of an exaggeration). But eventually you'll have enough replay that the games will take five hours to play and we all know that be great for fan retention.
KO is right about this. What good is technology if we don't use it? Hell, let's go back to three fingered gloves, traveling by train, take down the lights and only play day games!
Why shouldn't baseball use every tool it possesses to make the game as fair as possible? I'm with you. Even figure skating now uses instant replay and "technical specialists" to review questionable elements and determine whether or not they were correctly done. They're analyzing edge takeoffs and landing rotations on jumps as never used to be done before. Are "tradition" and "the human element" so important in baseball that it cares more about these things than about basic fairness?
It was hard to tell even after watching many replays whether the ball hit Beltre's foot– and I don't care about FOX's stupid new "infrared" gadget. If they want to boost ratings they might get better announcers, not use all this pointless technology, or put cameras under home plate, attached to squirrels' heads, etc. I want the Cardinals to win but it's worth noting that Wilson was squeezed last night. Carpenter's strike zone was bigger. That had more impact on the game than one questionable call in the 9th.
Why didn't they just check the ball for shoe polish?
Oh wait…
Honestly it looks like the ball hits the ground and his toe at the same time. Only the side of the ball hits his big toe. I'm not that big of a rules geek. What should be the call if a ball simultaniously hits the ground in the batter's box and the side of the ball hits Beltre's foot. Even with slow motion infared it is not definative. I don't think this would be a quick review as Keith seems to think it is.
Amen. I totally agree. As someone who recently learned how the game goes, I keep asking myself…Is this right? I keep saying…Wait a minute! I keep checking the rules. Sometimes I think it is just my old head. Sometimes I think it is the umpire's old head. I say replay!
So no stop-motion, high-def and 14 different angles aren't enough. We need infrared technology, too? How about sensors in every glove, ball, bat, fence, foul pole, base, shoe and uniform?
When Jeter faked his way on base on a pitch that didn't hit his hand the critics said the umpire should not be swayed by the batter's reaction. "Go by what you see!" they said. Now, when there was no way for the umpire to see if the ball nicked his foot (which is at most what happened) they say Beltre couldn't have faked it that well, and therefore the call should be changed.
I have no problem with replay on egregious calls like the Jim Joyce play. But using infrared camera on a play that was this close? Now we're getting ridiculous. There was little "conclusive" about that replay, and no way you should be overturning a call based on that.
Bigyaz, the infrared camera was definitive. If the ball hits the batter, it's foul. Even if it only brushes his shoe as it hits the ground, it's foul. If it bounces, then hits the batter, it's foul. If it doesn't even strike his body but ticks a fold in his uniform as it goes by, it's foul. Period.
In the infrared photography, the flash of white on the toe of Beltre's shoe as the ball whizzed past was the heat generated by the friction of the ball against the surface of shoe. So it did at least touch him. Just as a ball that hits one micron over the fence is a home run, a hit ball that touches—not clobbers, not impairs, not maims for life, but even touches—the batter in the batter's box is foul.
In this case the definitive answer was available in less time than it took for Ron Washington to walk out to meet the ump, let alone carry out what might have been the shortest questioning by a manager of a questionable call in the history of the World Series.
And that's the thing I don't get. People are fine with watching a Leo Durocher (read your history, kiddos) throw a 20-minute fit and give the whole umpiring crew grief about whether a ball was caught or trapped or whether a throw beat the runner to the base, but taking a few seconds to get evidence that might turn out to be definitive?
They consider that to be out of the question.
The elephant in the room is "situational umpiring".
The umpires WANT to be able to call an outside pitch a strike because it's two strikes and two outs in the ninth and you "should" swing at it; even though it's simpy NOT a strike.
The tennis comparison is exactly it. it's in or it's out. It's a strike or it's not. The throw beat the runner or it didn't. The tag was made or the base was stepped on or it wasn't.
There is no reason a "human element" improves the game.
The RULES say what determines an out or not. Electronic calling only enforces those actual rules.
And people really are worried about slowing down the game?
Electronic enforcement of the actual, rulebook defined, strike zone (meaning all those letter high strikes) would speed up the game tremendously.
William, the tennis comparison doesn't quite work. Safe or out? OK. Ball or strike? Sorry, no. The tennis court's lines always are in the same place. The strike zone is not. Also, the strike zone is three-dimensional, or even multi-dimensional, in a way that a tennis court is not. Replays often can show us what really happened in a number of sports, including baseball. But not the strike zone.
Furthermore, players actually understand the issue. There are pitchers' umpires and hitters' umpires, and sometimes the difference is as simple as whether the WHOLE ball has to be in the strike zone or just part of it–an umpire who knows his business knows the difference. They also don't generally question variety between umpires as long as the individual umpire is consistent. Eric Gregg in the 1997 LCS was consistent for that game but it was not his normal strike zone. Lee Weyer was widely considered one of the best ball/strike umpires of his time, and was well known for a wide, pro-pitcher zone, but he never varied. Consistency really is the key.
What about Kulpa's call at first base during game 3? Ruined the game
How on earth is there any controversy that the ball hit his foot?
– Beltre immediately hops and lifts the foot that was hit.
– In the overhead camera shot, you can see the ball initially being pulled sharply foul, only to be redirected off his toe into fair territory.
– In the thermal video, you see the tip of his foot light up where it was hit.
– And as much as I hate to bring Joe Buck into this, it's telling that his initial reaction was to call it foul.
I am 100% certain that the ball went off his foot. And I'm not just throwing that 100 number out there lightly. I mean 100%. Zero doubt. Zero, nada, zilch. If there was a magical, all-knowing space umpire who had absolute knowledge of all things, and he offered me a bet: My eternal soul in fiery damnation if I'm wrong about this, or 5 bucks if I'm right…I'd take my free 5 bucks and buy myself a taco.
I agree that you can see the ball initially being pulled sharply foul only to be redirected off his toe into fair territory.
I would like to talk about the idea of replay and how it affects the integrity of the game. Yes, we would all like to see umpires get the call right and have the correct results in big game situations. However, has anyone thoguht about what comes with replay in baseball? I am a firm believer that mistakes in baseball make it what it is and why the game is such an interesting one. If there were to be replay in all big game situtations then it would slow down the pace of baeball even more, and games could run even longer. It is no secret that baseball games run long already, and replay would only turn fans away. Many people that do not understand the game say that it is too slow, or way too boring. Implementing a replay system would only allow these people to have a reason behind thier claims. Baseball is what it is today because umpires do make mistakes and teams have to live with the outcomes. Taking away these mistakes would take away the mystery of the game. I enjoy baseball because it is not always perfect and the naked eye cannot always predict the correct thing. If we were to add replay in the frequency people are saying, the games integrity, in my opinion, would be dampered. I am not saying that we should get rid of homerun replays, but taking a look at each individual call is just crazy to me. I belive that some things are never the same after being changed, and I belive baseball is on that shouldn't be messed with.
Being an umpire. I have watched with interest about the replay debate. There are situations where replay is perfect. Fair/Foul on a ball hit over the wall for example. There are some instances where it is not. In football each play stands on it's own. A play being overturned may make some unhappy or continue a drive, etc. But the next play happens and it's not affected. It's rare there more than one piece to look at.
In baseball, when several things can be judged on one play. Replay is not so easy. Using replay in expanded circumstances opens up potential for unevenness. If safe/out calls in all situations are reviewed, outs are given and taken away, especially third outs. That effects the game more than it does in other sports. It leaves you with many possible what if situations. Where do you stop the play after it's reviewed, at the point of the play in question if overturned? Where are you going to put runners? Do you infer what bases a runner may have reached? Do you send runners who crossed the plate back? There's questions that need to be answered before I'd say go.
Watching the Little League WS the past two years. In most situations it works out. There were times plays so close there's no way you'd overturn them on replay were overturned. The use left a bad taste in my mouth. I am pro replay for situations that do not affect the course of the remaining parts of a play.
I personally am happy that baseball is going to take advantage of the technology we have today in some capacity. I am also not unhappy that they have waited as long as they have to implement replay as a major part of the game. They are at an advantage because football and basketball have experimented with various systems and sets of rules for years now. In the beginning, replay was an improvement in these sports but it certainly had its flaws. Today, both sports seem to do a good job of not only giving coaches a chance to challenge calls within reason, but also giving the officials a chance to take a look if they are not sure. I just hope MLB takes advantage of everything we have learned.
And any talk of replay slowing down the game is ridiculous. I would rather take a look at the replay and get it right than watch a manager come out and kick dirt in front of an umpire. In fact, I believe replay will speed the game up (in addition to sparing us from watching grown men act like kids on a playground – in a bad way).
In the spirit of not slowing the game down, we all know that balls and strikes are off the table in terms of replay. However, it is frustrating for me to watch a game in which I along with the broadcasters question a large percentage of ball and strike calls per game. Being one who embraces technology to its fullest, I had an idea while watching the playoffs this year.
If you are going to implement replay, you are going to have to add to your officiating crew no matter what. I would think you would want one or two guys in the booth to review and work with the umpires on the field. I would put two guys in the booth to serve this purpose as well as give the home plate umpire some help on balls and strikes.
One replay official would watch a camera placed above home plate (we know these already exist). The other would watch a camera placed to the side to judge whether the pitch was high or low. Each could give a signal to the home plate umpire as to whether they thought the pitch was in the strike zone. The umpire could then quickly look at the signals and either confirm or reconsider what he saw before making the call. He doesn't have to agree with the officials, but I think the extra feedback would help a lot of umpires – particularly on the opposite corner of the plate from where the umpire takes his stance. We could easily do this without slowing the game down. How quickly do we see balls, strikes, outs, etc. pop up on our TV screens after the call is made?

Four and a half stars out of five
Starring: Jean-Louis Trintignant, Emmanuelle Riva, Isabelle Huppert
Directed by: Michael Haneke
Duration: 127 min.
Playing in French with English subtitles at Forum cinema and in French at Excentris cinema
Parental guidance: brief nudity, mature subject matter (sickness, death)
MONTREAL - Don't be fooled by the title. Michael Haneke's profound new film Amour is far from your standard Hollywood romance. It is also a more nuanced, challenging and thought-provoking experience than that one word might lead you to believe.
And yet, it is perfectly chosen. True love goes beyond giddy first dates, fairy tales and happy endings. It becomes entangled in life; and life is messy.
Amour won Cannes's coveted Palme d'Or in May (Haneke'ssecond time winning the award, though he has taken the fest's Grand Prix andbest director prizes in the past), making it a clear favourite in the Oscarcategory of best foreign-language film, for which it was nominated on Thursday,alongside nominations for best picture, best director, best original screenplayand best actress.
It is the story of two old people, Georges and Anne, playedby Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva. Both give incredibleperformances — which is a good thing, since we're alone with them for most ofthe two-hour running time.The film begins with a door being broken down by firefighters, who enter the apartment to discover a carefully decorated, malodorous corpse lying peacefully in bed.
It ends with Isabelle Huppert walking wistfully through the same, empty apartment. In between, Haneke unravels a couple of mysteries —– the mystery of what happens, but also of life, real life, messy life and, especially, unglamorous life in its final, most difficult stages.
The film's second scene takes place in a concert hall, where Georges and Anne are among the crowd, and after which they go backstage to congratulate the pianist. There is a pleasant bus ride home, before Haneke settles in for the long haul.
The acclaimed Austrian director (The Piano Teacher, Caché, The White Ribbon) is no stranger to close quarters, or to tension. Fear appears in ominous spurts: the couple arrives home to discover its front door tampered with; a doorbell rings but nobody is there; later in the film, an errant pigeon finds its way into the apartment's entrance hall.
These incidents end up being more atmospheric than central to the plot. The first two, especially, allude to the vulnerability of the elderly. Georges and Anne have a happy, cozy life. But as they chat over breakfast at the kitchen table, another foreboding sign appears.
Anne freezes, mid-conversation, leaving Georges to wonder what the heck is happening. He gets her a cold compress, but leaves the water running. Still not getting any reaction, he exits the room to prepare to go find help. All the while, the water continues to run.
It's the kind of detail and scene that make Amour so deeply affecting — at once mundane and devastating. Anne's lapse is not an isolated incident. As she slips further into illness, Haneke reaches cruising altitude with this mesmerizing, troublingly poetic depiction of two old souls putting up a valiant fight in the impassive face of fate.

Wiley C. Chandler, a real estate investor, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Sacramento, California, to conspiring to rig bids and commit mail fraud at public real estate foreclosure auctions held in San Joaquin County, California.
Chandler pleaded guilty to conspiring with a group of real estate speculators who agreed to rig bids and commit mail fraud when purchasing selected properties at public real estate foreclosure auctions in San Joaquin County. The goals of the conspiracies were to suppress and restrain competition, to fraudulently obtain selected real estate at noncompetitive prices and to divert money to coconspirators that would have gone to the beneficiaries, the department said in court papers.
As previously reported by Mortgage Fraud Blog, after the conspirators' designated bidder bought a property at a public auction, they would hold a second, private auction, at which each participating conspirator would bid the amount above the public auction price he or she was willing to pay. The conspirator who bid the highest amount at the end of the private auction won the property. The difference between the price at the public auction and that at the second auction was the group's illicit profit. The illicit profit was divided among the conspirators in payoffs.
According to Chandler's plea agreement, the conspiracies began at least early as September 2008 and continued until at least October 2009.
To date, 10 individuals, including Chandler, have pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California in connection with the investigation. They are: Anthony B. Ghio; John R. Vanzetti; Theodore B. Hutz; Richard W. Northcutt; Yama Marifat; Gregory L. Jackson; Walter Daniel Olmstead; Robert Rose; and Kenneth A. Swanger.
Chandler was indicted by a federal grand jury in Sacramento on Dec. 7, 2011 with three investors""Andrew B. Katakis, Donald M. Parker and Anthony B. Joachim""and one auctioneer, W. Theodore Longley. Trial dates for these individuals have yet to be set.
Chandler pleaded guilty to bid rigging, a violation of the Sherman Act, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $1 million fine. The maximum fine may be increased to twice the gain derived from the crime or twice the loss suffered by the victims of the crime if either of those amounts is greater than the statutory maximum fine. Chandler also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
Sharis A. Pozen, Acting Assistant Attorney General of the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division, and Benjamin B. Wagner, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of California, announced the guilty plea.
These charges arose from an ongoing federal antitrust investigation of fraud and bidding irregularities in certain real estate auctions in San Joaquin County. The investigation is being conducted by the Antitrust Division's San Francisco Field Office, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California, the FBI's Sacramento Division and the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office. Trial attorneys Anna Pletcher and Tai Milder from the Antitrust Division's San Francisco Field Office and Assistant U.S. Attorney Russell L. Carlberg are prosecuting the case.
The charges are part of efforts underway by President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes. One component of the task force is the national Mortgage Fraud Working Group, co-chaired by U.S. Attorney Wagner. For more information on the task force, visit www.StopFraud.gov.
Anyone with information concerning bid rigging or fraud related to real estate foreclosure auctions should contact the Antitrust Division's San Francisco Field Office at 415-436-6660, visit www.justice.gov/atr/contact/newcase.htm, contact the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California at 916-554-2700 or contact the FBI's Sacramento Division at 916-481-9110.
"The Antitrust Division will continue to cooperate with its law enforcement partners to bring to justice those who undermine the competitive market for foreclosed properties and harm consumers," said Acting Assistant Attorney General Pozen.
"Public auctions are meant for the public, not for an elite group conspiring together for their own profit," U.S. Attorney Wagner stated. "The prosecution of these defendants is necessary to protect the integrity of the housing market."

Mural at the Museum of Contemporary Art Extension, 2012
Artist Helen Eager has been commissioned to paint a mural on the side wall of the stair court for the building extension of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. This large public mural, 16 x 8 metres is located and designed to catch the attention of people from a great distance. This composition of repetitive triangular forms, seem to dance with rhythm inherent in the large staircase against which it is placed.
Helen commenced her studies in art in 1976 in Adelaide, furthering that with studies at COFA in Sydney and residencies and work overseas. Since 1976 she has had a strong and consistent career with solo and group exhibitions throughout Australia, Japan and the UK. Over the decades Eager's work has been well recognized as it has been acquired by many corporate and institutional collections and State and Regional galleries.
So it is quite fitting that the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney have selected Eager's brand of non-objective abstraction to grace the entrance portico of their new building. The painting's clarity and scale belies the delicacy with which Eager works. All is softly and accurately hand crafted. The apparently simple forms are painted carefully in multiple thin layers which allows light to penetrate the coloured forms and resonate with reflections from the white subsurface. She has used a limited palette- selection of oranges and yellows to get the effect she wants.
This is an exciting time at the MCA where the finishing touches are being completed in readiness for its scheduled opening on 31st March. The mural will also be a feat of endurance as Eager paints it in situ on the concrete wall of the entrance stairwell over the last two weeks of February. We are so lucky to have been allowed a peek preview of this important work to celebrate Museum of Contemporary Art's 2012 major extension.
Helen Eager is represented by Utopia Gallery in Sydney. I wish to thanks Utopia Gallery and Christopher Hodges for access to his article 'Blame it on New York', for research on Eager's work. Eager has painted exclusively with Atelier Interactive and Ateleir Clear Painting Mediums which Chroma has donated.

Fallen_Horse wrote:Good job keeping up with the journal, I can never seem to stick with one! Any news of your progress? Going where you want to be going?
Hey, Fallen_Horse! In terms of health, I am doing very well. I push myself to my max most days, and am consequently getting a lot stronger and fitter. In terms of general life stuff, I'm doing pretty well. I got a part-time job at my local co-op at the java and juice bar, and also got accepted to my state's university and will be going starting this fall. Most of my time these days is spent working, going to the gym, and relaxing at home/recovering from exercising. If I get a second job, I probably won't exercise as often since my body won't be able to handle the strain, but we will see how things go with this new job for a while...
Other than that I have been trying to read more but haven't been motivated enough to cut myself off of netflix entirely, so a lot of my time is spent eating and watching TV on that. I am in the suburbs right now and my friends are in the city, so not having independent mode of transportation prevents me from going out as often as I might like. So, my life is pretty boring right now, and I am trying to figure out how to make it more fulfilling. I know that there is a lot that I can do, but starting a new hobby can take a lot of investment (a pretty lame excuse). At the very least, I guess I can read more than I have been.
That's what's been up. Snow is melting, tonight is the spring equinox, and I'm looking forward to what the warm weather will bring. Hopefully more excitement and change, and less staring at my computer screen.

simply waste that i think before I got
Should have been a little more powerful. Plus the engine makes awful noises, like something is creating a friction inside. Nobody from the hero authorized workshop could help me out with the problem
It gives a good mileage but the performance disappoints me on highway but good in off-road riding...
Very nice bike for both on- road and off- road . great experience but very less mileage 35 kmpl per litre , compared to others 200 cc bikes .The cost is less than others bike .bike is very comfortable to ride and refined engine and low maintenance and lastly I want to say it's a value for money bike ..
beautiful seating posture can do better if the seat is customised according to rider. Best part is the throttle response quick and controllable.Suspensions are outstanding. mileage between 35-40 kmph depending on the traffic volume and gearshifts.
I proudly an owner of xpulse 200.it's good commuter bike and best choice for Indian road🤣. I brought carb edition on aug 2019. Completed 2 service. I will tell you my 3 month experience about the bike. Pros, Gud design. Better handling. Most affordable budget 200cc bike in the market. Best off-road bike compare with Himalayan very lightweight so we can easily handle. Service cost is very cheap.Advanced digital meter.Low maintenance service cost around 400-500 each service.Build quality is very good.Have 5 year warranty so no worry about that.Gud cornering ability.Gud ground clearance.Suitable to short and tall peoples.No worry about potholes 🤟ConsHeating. headlight visibility is poor.Seat comfort is not up to mark.Abs is very sensitive so sometimes break will hard.In my viewpoint it's best for city ride, commuter usage and Off-roading compare with Himalayan . If you looking for touring Himalayan is best because it's seat comfort is far better than xpulse now hero introduce after market seat for touring. Got 44kmpl mileage. Now Xpulse awarded Indian motor cycle of the year 2020. I think my review is helpful for everyone. Thanks for everyone to read my review
Worst experience for my xpulse 200 Cheap company no good service either with mechanics or the management. Fraud company sold me defective xpulse First bike din start while delivery second bike had a dent in tank Third bike had really bad tapit sound In 6 months they replaced carberator, head, abs, piston,bore, crank shaft, and many more things still its the same Fraud company Please do not buy anything from sai motors And please do not even buy xpulse 200
Rode the bic for 10000km in about 2months around South Indian states and from Madurai to Solang Valley and back to Chennai.Performed very well except for tappet noise which loosens after 50km of riding after tightening. Tyre is not good for gravel road under construction Had owned Harley,BMW,Honda,Suzuki,Kawasaki and Yamaha but this is one of the best bic l had ridden.l am from Singapore Touring India
Overall it's a good vehicle.pickup and mileage is average. Front suspension is superb and the riding position is also superb.Negative is it's seating.Small seats can't sit for an hour.Some times a bad voice comes from the Engine side.Can't compare to other 200 cc bikes with its power.It seems to be a little less.
Very nice bike for both on- road and off- road . great experience but very less mileage 35 kmpl per litre , compared to others 200 cc bikes .The cost is less than others bike .bike is very comfortable to ride and refined engine and low maintenance and lastly I want to say it's a value for money bike ..

There's no justice. Chacin pitched as well last night as I have ever seen him pitch, and Matsuzaka gets all the ink.
I dont know how Chacin always seems to rise to the occasion. His numbers are not great, but he wins. I know he has had alot of run support in the past, but tuesdays game was awesome. Hopefully a sign of things to come.
Chacin was money last night. Sure did look like a #3 starter last night. We just need Burnett to start pitching like a #2 starter now.

|Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by loss of memory and learning deficits caused by synaptic damage secondary to toxic oligomeric beta-amyloid (oAβ) deposition. Several glutamate receptors regulate transmission at the synapse, including the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor, composed of the four subunits, GluR1-4. The GluR2 subunit has been found to contribute to Ca2+ regulation by rendering the AMPA receptor impermeable to it. oAβ may directly affect synaptic function by interacting with the AMPA receptor, which was found to have a binding site for Aβ (Tozaki et al., 2002). ❧ GluR2 mRNA is thought to be transported to the synapse via the dendrite where it is locally translated (Grooms et al., 2006). We hypothesize that oAβ causes a shift in the transport of GluR2 mRNA, resulting in aberrant local expression of the receptor. Since Ca2+ dysregulation is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of AD, the effect of oAβ on GluR2 may directly contribute to synaptic dysfunction. ❧ Using organotypic rat cortical cultures exposed to nanomolar levels of oAβ for 7 to 21 days, we examined the distribution of GluR2 subunit protein and GluR2 mRNA using fluorescent immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization techniques. In control (untreated) tissue, the GluR2 subunit colocalizes with the scaffold protein PSD-95, indicating its presence at the postsynaptic endings, whereas there is minimal or no colocalization in the oAβ-treated tissue. ❧ Next, we analyzed two splice variants of GluR2 mRNA: flip and flop. The distribution of GluR2 mRNA also appears to be affected by oAβ treatment. In untreated rat cortical tissue, mRNA has a diffuse appearance and is visible in the neuropil and dendritic projections, and with less frequency in the cytoplasm around the soma. In the oAβ -treated tissue, GluR2 mRNA appears to be present in lesser amounts in the neuropil, clustering mostly around the soma, and assuming a punctate appearance when visible in dendritic projections. This effect is evident in both the flip and flop splice variants after 2 weeks of oAβ treatment. ❧ Our findings suggest that oAβ may influence localization of GluR2 mRNA, inducing it to assemble into granules which remain primarily in the soma. These results suggest that oAβ may cause a shift in the transport of GluR2 mRNA, resulting in aberrant expression in the soma. These results may be an early step in the disease pathogenesis, and the consequences of this alteration may contribute to the synaptic changes.

Director Gareth Evans unleashed THE RAID: REDEMPTION in 2011, and for many it was a mind-blowing action movie experience… myself included. If you've been hungry for more, not to worry, next year you'll get just that. THE RAID 2: BERANDAL trailer is here, courtesy of TwitchFilm, who noted "Evans says it's to be played loud through headphones or big ass speakers only. Listen through a phone or laptop and Hammer Girl is coming to get you." Iko Uwais returns as "Rama", and while this teaser doesn't give away a lot of plot points, it looks like he's got his work cut out for him once again.
Set once again in Jakarta, the story this time is said to follow Rama, our favorite tough-as-nails police officer, who goes undercover to infiltrate the ranks of a notorious Jakarta syndicate, in an effort to protect his family and expose corruption within the police force. The film stars Iko Uwais, Arifin Putra, Alex Abad, Oka Antara, Tio Pakusadewo, Julie Estelle, Cecep Arif Rahman, Cok Simbara, Yayan Ruhian, Matsuda Ryuhei, Endo Kenichi, and Kitamura Kazuki. I can't wait! Are you excited about this one? Let us know in the comments.

Filmmaker Karan Johar today said that actress Kareena Kapoor Khan has set the bar high in film industry by sheer magnitude of her work.
"I think there can be only one Kareena. I am extremely close to her. I love her for what she is on celluloid and as a person. She has that certain spunk, energy in her. Kareena has a tremendous body of work and has set the bar high and it is not fair to compare (her) with anyone," Karan told reporters at a function here.
There have been comparisons between Kareena and newcomer Alia Bhatt for quite some time.
Alia is playing a Kareena Kapoor fan in Karan's upcoming film 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania'.
In the trailer of the movie launched here, Alia is seen saying to her relatives, "Main shaadi karoongi to Kareena wala designer lehenga pehen kar..' (I will marry wearing the designer lehenga worn by Kareena).
"Alia is new and I am sure she will work hard and go her way up and be known as Alia Bhatt than anyone else," the filmmaker said.
In tune with the title of the film, 'Humpty Sharma..', lead actors Varun and Alia unveiled the trailer with zest and funny act in which Varun came in a 'doli' (palanquin) looking for his bride and Alia coming dancing with revellers.
"It ('Humpty Sharma...') is a filmy love story. We all talk about how our love stories are different. This film is different from '2 States'," Alia said.
Varun and Alia, who made their debut with 'Student Of The Year' are known to share a sizzling chemistry on and off screen. But Alia denied reports of the two of them dating each other.
She was also linked to Arjun Kapoor, her co-star from her latest release '2 States' and now again reports of Varun and Alia are making news.
On her link-ups, Alia said, "What to do? May be in my next film, I will be linked to other actor. But there is no truth in it (link-ups)".
The film also starring popular TV actor Siddarth Shukla is releasing on July 11.
Shukla, of 'Balika Vadhu'-fame, thanked producer Karan Johar and director Shashank Khaitan for giving him the break.
"I had a wonderful experience working on the film and it is a big thing to come from TV to films," Shukla said.
Varun revealed on the occasion that Siddharth has more fan following than anyone of them. "He has an incredible fan following among every age group including (among) auntys, kids etc. We are trying to use that for the film," Varun said.

Richard A. Hosmer, a well known collector of this period, has written a concise and comprehensive text on each of the eighteen rifles and carbines that were developed at the Springfield National Armory during this seven year period and field-tested during years that saw the most intense fighting in the West.
Of these twenty arms, five rifles adopted by the U.S. Army and one by the Navy were issued for general service; four models were issued to the cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. The remaining seven rifles and three carbines were issued for various periods of field testing. They were all variations of the Allin "trapdoor," Remington, Sharps, Spencer, Joslyn, and Ward-Burton breechloading systems.
Mr. Hosmer's books provides a detailed description of each rifle and carbine, including markings, finishes, and dimensions of all pertinent parts. Each firearm is summarized in a separate table. Additional tables list all finishes and markings. Chapters described the bayonets issued as well as accoutrements and tools. The book is heavily illustrated with photos of the firearms and their accoutrements. 278 pages, 5 1/2"x8.5", soft cover.
