Adele Gives Birth to Baby Boy

First child for 'Skyfall' singer

October 21, 2012 4:20 PM ET

Adele has given birth to a healthy baby boy, Us Weekly has confirmed. This was the first child for the 24-year-old singer, who had just shared the news of her pregnancy in June.

"I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together," Adele wrote on her official website this summer. "I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele xx."

The baby's father is Simon Konecki, co-founder of the U.K. bottled water company Life Water. A week after Adele announced her pregnancy, the news came out that Konecki was planning to propose to the singer.

A source tells Us Weekly that the singer is already at work on her new album, which will reportedly be lighter in tone than Adele's last record, with Adele's experience with the baby serving as inspiration for the new material. "The pregnancy has had a big impact on her songwriting!" the source said.

Adele's breakout 2011 album 21 sold 18 million copies worldwide and spent 24 weeks at Number One. In October of 2011, she was forced to take a break from singing as she continued to recover from surgery due to a vocal cord hemorrhage, but she bounced back earlier this month, contributing the title song to the new James Bond movie, Skyfall.

“Party Rock Anthem”

LMFAO | 2011

This electro-pop uncle-nephew duo burst onto the scene with 2009’s "Shots," a song about getting totally obliterated. Two years afterward, they were still shamelessly getting wild but now insisting that everyone else join them in the fun. "I wanted a song for when we walked into a party, so I thought, 'Party rock in the house tonight/Everybody just have a good time,'" Redfoo (a.k.a. Stefan Gordy, son of Motown founder Berry Gordy) told Rolling Stone about the lyrics to "Party Rock Anthem." "The 'just' was key. I made it a command to focus people on what to do now that we’re here together."

Bee Gees Retire Name

Surviving brothers will continue making music together

January 22, 2003 12:00 AM ET

In the wake of the January 12th death of keyboardist and bassist Maurice Gibb, the Bee Gees will effectively be retired. Despite a claim by guitarist and singer Barry Gibb that the group would continue in honor of his late brother, Maurice's twin (and Bee Gees singer) Robin Gibb told a British television station this week that they could not continue with the name, short for Brothers Gibb, which the band took on in the mid-Sixties.

Robin said that he and Barry will continue to record and perform together without Maurice. "Anything we do, we will do together," Gibb told GMTV television, "but it'll be as brothers and not under the name of the Bee Gees. We don't want to be the Bee Gees again."

Maurice Gibb collapsed on January 9th at his Miami home and was operated on for intestinal blockage. Prior to surgery, he suffered cardiac arrest and died three days later. A medical examiner's report last week cited ischemic enteropathy, a twisted intestine, as the cause of death. Gibb, 53, was laid to rest on January 15th in Miami.

In other Bee Gees news, Gibb's death prompted thousands of fans to visit record stores and pick up the band's 2002 anthology, Their Greatest Hits: The Record, which bounced onto the charts at Number Fifty-five this week.

jamison's Review of Toy Story 3

  • 4 years ago via Rotten Tomatoes
    Toy Story 3

    Toy Story 3 (2010)

    THE BEST: The story was one of the best things about this film. It also had a wonderful ending. Ken was my favorite character in this movie.

    THE GOOD: The cast of this film was excellent.

    THE BAD: Nothing.

    THE UGLY: Nothing.

    THE VERDICT: Toy Story 3 was a fun and moving film to watch. It appeals to both kids and adults. I just wish more animated films were as good.

    THE BONUS: What is your favorite CGI animated film?

Message From The Author

Author's Message

Cop of the Year is primarily a love story. It's about two lonely, world-weary people who've had a rough life. Both are battle-scarred, though in different ways. When the hero, Mitch Lansing, a by-the-book cop, is forced to work in Cassie Smith's less-than-traditional classroom, sparks fly because of their differences and their strong personalities. But surprisingly, they find in each other a solace from their pasts and the courage to go on and risk in the future.

But Cop of the Year is also about teaching kids. I've spent my entire adult life doing that, and the book reflects many things about teaching. It's rewarding to see students grow because of my class. It's uplifting to see them alter their views on life because of what they've learned with me. And it's the best thing in the world to know that I've helped someone choose a better way than he would have if it hadn't been for my class.

I've had many of the experiences Cassie has in the book. I've taught reluctant learners who hate school and want to hate you. I've worked with kids just as tough as Johnny, the young student who's in danger of slipping back into a gang. Some of them have gone on to be successful in life; some have not. I've also taken risks like Cassie does with her teaching methods; the book reflects my whole philosophy on how to teach kids and keep them motivated. I've actually taught many of the lessons described here.

Mostly, though, Cassie feels about teaching and about love as I do. She gives her heart and soul to her job, sometimes too much. And when she finds the man with whom she wants to share her life, she fights to keep him-against almost insurmountable odds.

Thought I've never been a cop, or been to Vietnam, I have the highest respect for men in uniform: soldiers, police officers, firefighters. They are a different breed of men. They are often loners who intentionally distance themselves, but at the same time, they can be the most unselfish, caring individuals who routinely risk their lives for others. Mitch is the embodiment of this special kind of man.

Both she and Mitch became very real people to me, so it was a pleasure to spend time with them again in the spin-off to this book, my December '98 Superromance.

Please write to me and tell me what you think: P.O. Box 24288, Rochester, NY 14624-0288.

Hand Turned Studio Pottery Feelie Seed Vase

Offered here is this well made studio pottery vase from an unknown maker. The high gloss dark green glaze was thinly applied to allow the hand turned markings to show through. This allows a spiral effect to add depth to the body. It measures 4 5/8" high and about 3 3/4" in diameter. I'm unsure of date but I would think that this dates from the 1950's or 60's. The neck is a little thicker than a dime.

There are no chips, cracks or fleabites. There are some glaze skips and fissures to the glaze as this does have imperfections from being handmade and not cast. Very unique and could be an interesting research piece.

Thanks for stopping by. Always happy to combine items to save on shipping.

recording hardware/software for PC

recording hardware/software for PC

Postby jjbankhead » Mon Jan 07, 2008 11:04 pm

I am getting a new PC in a few days and will be having succicient memory to do some recording.

I have a limited budget and will be looking into either a used Mbox Protools setup or something similar like say Cake walk or something of the sort.

I saw this one set up for like 100$ on guitar centers web site i gotta think its unreliable as the price is so low.

just wondering about some opinions of those of you who use something for a PC (no mac stuff that cant be used on PC please) or are familiar with this particular interface/software.

i am not in a band, i am mainly looking to be able to play with myself (lol) or record stuff with the occasional person i jam with and if i ever do wind up being able to get in a band i would be prepared.

Los Rios trustees hire chancellor from Santa Cruz County

Published: Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2012 - 12:00 am | Page 3B

Santa Cruz County community college President Brian King said he is looking forward to joining the Los Rios Community College District as its newest chancellor and becoming an active member of the community.

King, 49, was named to a three-year appointment by Los Rios district trustees following a Monday night board meeting. King will earn a base salary of $267,500.

"I am really honored to lead such an outstanding district," said King, who will leave his post as president of Cabrillo College in Aptos.

King replaces Brice Harris, the longtime chancellor who retired Aug. 31 and became chancellor of the statewide community college system. Los Rios is the second-largest community college system in the state and enrolls more than 80,000 students at its four colleges – American River, Cosumnes River, Folsom Lake and Sacramento City.

"We've loved our time in Santa Cruz County," King said. "It took a special opportunity and Los Rios is that."

King has more than 20 years of community college teaching and administrative experience, beginning in 1991 at Ozarks Technical Community College in Springfield, Mo. He has been president of Cabrillo College, which has about 14,000 students, since 2004.

"We were looking for a person with exceptional leadership skills and broad community college experience," said Los Rios board President Ruth Scribner in a statement. "We found those qualities, combined with great personal integrity and a passion for student success, in Dr. King and we look forward to many years of his expert guidance at the helm of our district."

At Cabrillo College, King led the Aptos campus through two successful bond campaigns and raised more than $20 million in private donations through a college foundation. During his tenure, Cabrillo College led a countywide effort that brought together 14 school districts, the University of California, Santa Cruz, California State University, Monterey Bay, and San Jose State to improve college completion rates.

"It's an exciting collaborative that brought everyone together to improve the outcomes of our students," King said.

The terms of King's contract call for a lower overall compensation package than his predecessor. Harris was the highest-paid chancellor of the state's 15 largest community college districts in 2011, earning $390,000 in total compensation.

Harris' base pay was $278,000, plus an $89,000 bonus, $11,400 for a car allowance and $11,400 for expenses. Harris was also reimbursed for his employee contribution to CalSTRS (8 percent of total compensation).

Los Rios Community College spokeswoman Susie Williams said the terms of King's contract call for a base pay of $267,500, a combined annual auto and expense allowance of $15,600, health benefits and 5 percent in annual performance pay based on merit for the 2013-2014 school year.

King's contract does not reimburse him for his employee contribution to CalSTRS, Williams said. King is expected to begin Feb. 1.

King said he will be working to make a smooth transition at Cabrillo College, as well working with Los Rios to ensure he "hits the ground running."

Sail-World.com : Up and running... RLIR 2006

Up and running... RLIR 2006

Bright sunshine and a 10 to 12 knot north easterly greeted the sailors on day one of racing. The classes have been further sub-divided into seven groupings and a total of 33 yachts from eleven nations have entered the 4th edition of the RLIR. Race Officer Mark Pryke elected to race inside Bass Harbour for the afternoon start, and courses 14,15 and 16 were selected and the wonderful surrounding islands formed a picturesque backdrop for the racing.

Thomas Blixt's V60 Ericsson got the best of the racing class start by bursting out to windward with speed and overhauling the smaller yachts to take a commanding lead by the first mark. Ray Roberts on Ulumulu - Quantum Racing stayed on the pace and kept the bigger boat within striking distance.

As the afternoon wore on the breeze faded and dramatic changes started to appear with each gust. Some boats struggled to finish. In the end it was Ericsson taking line honours by twenty four minutes but with a massive handicap of 1.4360 it left the door open for Ulumulu - Quantum Racing to sneak in by a mere twenty six seconds to secure handicap honours. Mahligai claimed third spot over the bigger Royal Malaysian Navy Farr 5200 Zuhrah who got caught on the wrong side of a few shifts coming up to the finish.

Premier Cruising
David Lindahl's Swan 40 La Samudra got the better of Keith Garry's Beaux Esprits on both line and handicap honours. RSYC Commodore Aziz Kadir did not manage a finish on Juita in the three boat class.

Mohd Masyuri Rahmat fared better than his Royal Malaysian Navy counterparts by scoring a win on his first outing in the Sportsboat Class. Japan's Kenichi Takahashi on Motomet notched up a second place followed by Matthew Rickard skippering the Sail in Asia UK Team entry. All competitors are sailing on Farr Platu 25's.

Kevin Gillow's Minx snatched victory over Stuart Crow's Cinders by a mere fifty six seconds. Looi Sing Hoe skippering the Selangor Youth Teams entry on Gapurna Mas Ayu II finished up third in a now depleted three boat class.

The Multihull class have opted to run two handicap systems to check their results. Which ever way you look at it is Roger Kingdon's Moto Inzi leading the way with some stunning bursts of speed in the early stages to get clear ahead of Kazuo Kobayashi's Chameleon who finished up a distant second. Larry Pollock's Running Cloud from the USA missed out by 44 seconds from overhauling Chameleon and had to settle for third place.

Club Cruising
E A Y Heuvel's big Swan 58 Bolero got off to a good start in the brisk conditions despite a big tear in the genoa and was never headed to take out the daily double of line and handicap honours. Grenville Fordham's Image Asia Jemini Jo claimed second spot and Philip Giles Nom de Plume in third a further three minutes back.

Ocean Rover
Kevin Perrins Rusalka also scored the daily double in the dying stages to be two minutes in front of Des Kearn's Harlander 45 Isobar with Eric Kading's Fat Cat in third and trying desperately to make up for lost time.

Sail-World.com : Melges 32 Worlds underway

Melges 32 Worlds underway

'Day one - Melges 32 World Championship 2011'    © Max Ranchi Photography    Click Here to view large photo

The Melges 32 Worlds, hosted by Real Club Nautico de Palma, are now underway amid brilliant sunny skies with 10-12 knots of breeze and lumpy seas setting the stage on Palma Bay. After two races, John Kilroy's Samba Pa Ti with tactician Vasco Vascotto holds the lead by one point, ahead of Vincenzo Onorato's Mascalzone Latino and tactician Francesco Bruni in second overall. Seated in third is fellow American Alexis Michas on Zetiana with Brian Ledbetter onboard calling tactics.

The first race of the day kicked off with a clean start. Kilroy, Jason Carroll and tactician Cameron Appleton on Argo launched off the pin end of the starting line, Steve Howe's Warpath right alongside. Onorato looked to port tack right behind the fleet in search of clean air almost immediately after the start, enabling him to get up to speed fast. Great Britain's Peter Rogers on Highlife with Andy Horton on tactics took an early lead rounding the top mark in first.

Reigning Audi Sailing Series Champion Lanfranco Cirillo with tactician Michele Paoletti on Fantastica followed in second, Onorato was third followed by Japan's Yukihiro Ishida on Yasha Samurai with Hamish Pepper on tactics in fourth. Ishida made great strides to advance as did Onorato. Both surpassed Rogers downwind, passing through the gate in first and second. Ishida managed to hold off Onorato's challenge for the lead with a photo finish at the line for the win. Onorato settled for second, Carroll was third, Howe fourth and Kilroy worked hard to take fifth.

Kilroy showed the fleet who was boss in race two with a great start to take a lead he would simply refuse to relinquish, in fact, extended on every leg adding up to an impressive two minute lead on the fleet to win. A key, nice, up-the-right-side beat, put him in command early. Michas had an impressive run for a second place finish. William Douglass' Goombay Smash with tactician Chris Larson was third, Onorato took fourth followed by Geoff Pierini and tactician Steve Hunt on Sicktrix rounding out the top five.

Even lighter air is in the forecast for Wednesday, however racing is expected to begin on schedule.

Top Ten Results:

1.) John Kilroy/Vasco Vascotto, Samba Pa Ti; 5-1 = 6
2.) Vincenzo Onorato/Francesco Bruni, Mascalzone Latino; 2-5 = 7
3.) Alexis Michas/Brian Ledbetter, Zetiana; 8-2 = 10
4.) Jason Carroll/Cameron Appleton, ARGO; 3-12 = 15
5.) Geoff Pierini/Steve Hunt, Sicktrix; 12-4 = 16
6.) Wolfgang Stolz/Jesper Radich, Opus One; 9-7 = 16
7.) Steve Howe/Morgan Larson, Warpath; 4-14 = 18
8.) Lanfranco Cirillo/Michele Paoletti, Fantastica; 10-9 = 19
9.) John Porter/Jonathan McKee, Full Throttle; 7-15 = 22

Excess Heel
I went out in my Pearson 26 this morning. Winds were 15-20 kts when we headed out and made a comfortable 5 kts speed with a genoa and mainsail up. The wind was out of the south and when we got to the far side of the lake, I turned to the south and set a course as close to the wind as I could. We were making about 3 knots on a close reach, when all of a sudden the boat heeled about 45 degrees and I was fearful we'd capsize. I released the main sheet and turned directly into the wind and we righted just fine.

After letting my heart rate slow down, I headed off in the same direction and again was making good speed on a close reach and it happened again. This time I over reacted a bit and we ended up nearly going in a full circle when I went hard alee with tiller.

We flurled the genoa and finished our trip home only under mainsail as I felt that I was a bit over powered for my novice level. We're scheduled for our first ASA sailing course in 4 weeks and probably have 12-14 hours of sailing experience under my belt.

Any suggestions as to what I was doing wrong? I think it must have been gusts of wind all of a sudden out of the south east but don't really want to do that too often!

bubb2 10-05-2008 02:14 PM

Dave, the P26 will stand up to winds 15 to 20. At about 15 kts you want to reef the main maybe a little earlier if you new at sailing. You did nothing wrong your learning. The P26 also fly's a big head sail if I remember right it a 150 or 155. That would be your 2sd move to go to a smaller head sail.

captbillc 10-05-2008 02:14 PM

Dave ___ you could have partly rolled in the genny & reefed the main partly down to avoid being overpowered in the gusts.

Giulietta 10-05-2008 02:21 PM

Or you could have spent sometime getting lessons on how to sail before going out on your boat...or at least read a little about it...

If you have never riden a bike and crash, the solution is not to get a to learn how to ride the bike, and keep the helmet once you know how to do it, just in case...

Now, go here, CLICK sit down and watch these....the guy has a stupide accent but he is a nce guy

Coreyboy18 10-05-2008 02:24 PM

Same thing happened to me on my Ranger 23 about four months ago, and I had someone else on the boat with me that knew nothing about sailing. So it was an eye opener for me because I wasn't used to that type of heel. So I only fly a jib when the wind is above 15kts, until I can get comfortable with that type of heel. I hear people talking about riding the rail in the water, that's pretty scary but I see why people like it...ADRENALINE RUSH. That's what keeps me going back out time after time.

Giulietta 10-05-2008 02:30 PM

HuskerDave 10-05-2008 02:30 PM

Thanks for all the replies. We were originally scheduled for lessons the weekend that Ike it - so haven't had the chance for that yet. I've read a lot - the ASA book, several others and have watched most of those videos that were recommended - they are excellent. The reading taught me to turn into the wind, let the mainsail out or to hike out to counter the heel - I did the first two and was already sitting on the windward side when it happened (as was my partner). It was the sudden shift that scared us!

I think the suggestions of reefing the main and making the genoa smaller were what we should have done after the first time. After the 2nd time, going with just the mainsail was pretty stable.

There has been only one day with any wind the past 2 months on the lake (the day after Ike passed nearby) and so we were excited to actually sail instead of motor around the lake.

This forum is really a great resource, and thanks again.

speciald 10-05-2008 02:36 PM

The boat should have rounded up if your weather helm is correct and not capsized. Each boat has its own optimal angle of heal for speed vs. leeway - usually around 20-25 degrees. Aside from reefing (main first) the boat can be depowered by flattening the main, running the traveler down side to spill wind and by feathering the main by releasing a little main sheet. Overhealed is not fast nor comfortable. A common mistake of new sailors is to overtrim - often sheeting out alone will allow the boat to stand up on its lines and sail faster.

bubb2 10-05-2008 02:50 PM

Dave, You would know about healing if you out during Ike. All fun aside, I used to teach ASA coastal cruising on a P26 years ago. That Boat is not going to capsize in 25 or 30 kts. To knock down that boat I would think it would take 40 to 50 kts, just my opinion but I have been out on P26's in the high 30's. You got a great safe boat. Learn to sail it and she will treat you well.

chucklesR 10-05-2008 03:14 PM

Making 3 kts close reaching in 15-20 kts of wind? You were poorly trimmed at best, probably got a gust from windward and that took you on the beam with sails trimmed tight (max heel, push to lee not forward).
When learning keep to days of under 10kts, or reef early. And wear a PFD.

The Reptile delay pedal was a milestone in T-Rex history, where we managed to squeeze all the great sound and most of the features of our revered Replica delay into a pedal that any guitarist could afford. Now, we’re pleased to bring you Reptile 2 – the next step in the evolution of this sonic savage for guitar and bass.

“Baby Brother” Sprouts Tap Tempo

Tap Tempo – or the ability to control the tempo of your delay by tapping a button with your foot while you play – is what separated the men from the boys in our first generation of Replica-family delays. Not any more. With the Reptile 2, we’ve brought our renowned Tap Tempo function to the Replica’s “baby brother”. Tap Tempo gives you ultimate control of your delay on stage, by letting you match the speed of your delay effect to the tempo of your music – without ever missing a beat.

Enhanced Flutter Section

Besides Tap Tempo, Reptile 2 also features an enhanced Flutter section, with a new Tone control. Flutter introduces a touch of random-sounding “warble” to your delay for that great retro tape-effect sound. The Tone control lets you take the top end off your delayed repeats for an even more authentic vintage tone.

In the Reptile 2, you’ll find a gorgeous-sounding delay that easily beats the competition and comes closer than ever to offering the total Replica control – but at a price you can afford even if you’re not (yet…) a rock star. Try one out at your local music store, and you won’t be able to resist taking one home with you.

Things You Will Get:

Durability comes standard with the Samsung new refrigerator. Backed by a 10-year warranty, the durable Digital Inverter Compressor powerfully, quietly and efficiently cools the inside. Other features, like the MoistFresh Zone and the Quick Cooling Mode, keep your vegetables, fruits and meats fresher for longer periods of time. You†ll also enjoy the convenience of storage innovations such as the Easy Slide Shelf for many years to come.

Digital Inverter Compressor and 10 Year Warranty

Unlike conventional compressors, which have just two patterns of start and stop, Samsung’s Digital Inverter Compressor makes 5 different moving cycle based on humidity levels and usage patterns. This helps maintain a more consistent temperature, reduces wear and tear on the compressor for greater durability, and keeps noise to a minimum. You’ll also enjoy the peace of mind that comes with lower electric bills and a 10-year warranty.

MoistFresh Zone

Fresh vegetables and fruit are good for you, but what’s good for vegetables and fruit? Samsung’s MoistFresh Zone. The smartly designed drawer provides an ideal environment for apples and zucchini alike, so they stay fresher longer. A tight seal prevents moisture from escaping when humidity levels are low, and a vent releases excess moisture when humidity levels are too high. Together with the conduction cooling system, these elements maintain the optimal humidity levels to preserve your produce.

Big Guard

Convenient for the thirsty household, the Big Guard is deeper than shelves found in conventional refrigerators. Now you can store big containers of milk and juice in the door, along with two rows of beverage cans and bottles. Throwing a party? Use the Big Guard to chill tall bottles of water, soda, and other liquid refreshments.

Big Box

Full Open Box makes it easier to organise and remove items—even bulky foods, like a 3-gallon tub of ice cream. The box extends out all the way for optimum use of space and, thanks to the drawer’s design, you can open the Full Open Box even if the refrigerator door is only open 90 degrees.

Deodorizing Filter

Deodorizing Filter is made of Activated Carbon, eliminates bad smell, keeping the air fresh and food flavor longer.

BBWAA revokes Dan Le Batard's Hall of Fame vote for Deadspin affiliation

Deadspin might not find themselves another vote for Craig Biggio next year. - Bob Levey

Le Batard turned his vote over to Deadspin, and the BBWAA responded swiftly.

ESPN's Dan Le Batard turned his Hall of Fame vote over to Deadspin, and has now been punished for it. The Baseball Writer's Association of America released a statement on Thursday, decrying his actions and suspending Le Batard:

The BBWAA Board of Directors has decided to remove Dan Le Batard's membership for one year, for transferring his Hall of Fame ballot to an entity that has not earned voting status. The punishment is allowed under the organization's constitution.

In addition, Le Batard will not be allowed to vote on Hall of Fame candidates from this point on.

The BBWAA regards Hall of Fame voting as the ultimate privilege, and any abuse of that privilege is unacceptable.

-BBWAA President La Velle E. Neal III
January 9, 2014

The ultimate privilege for the ultimate honor, occasionally given to the ultimate Dude Covering Curling. Hey now, he covered baseball once, back when Frank Thomas was a fetus. His baseball thoughts are still of the ultimate variety!

It's worth pointing out that the BBWAA is not monolithic, and not everyone is armed with pitchfork and torch, ready to attack Le Batard.'s Richard Justice went off on the BBWAA's current setup earlier today, as captured by our own Pinstripe Alley:

The New York Times' Tyler Kepner mentions that Le Batard shouldn't have a vote anyway, since he's not a baseball writer, and goes on to say that it should be only baseball writers making these calls anyway. Ken Rosenthal, who did not agree with what Le Batard did, at least wrote that changes to the process should occur, namely lengthening the ballot and possibly cutting down the amount of time it takes to be eligible to vote, in order to bring new ideas and opinions into the mix. Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan tweeted that he hopes Le Batard is the first of many unqualfied, non-baseball writers to be ousted from what the BBWAA considers to be the ultimate privilege.

If Le Batard is indeed the first of the fallen here, then his sacrifice was a noble one, and Deadspin's mission would be accomplished. How about that.

Magic Johnson: Dodgers could have sold 50 thousand season tickets

Richard Mackson-USA TODAY Sports

According to Magic Johnson, the Dodgers could have sold 50 thousand season tickets for 2014.

Magic Johnson says the Los Angeles Dodgers could have sold 50,000 season tickets for the upcoming season, according to Pedro Moura of the Orange County Register.

The team's ownership group opted against doing so, but such a statement reflects the Dodgers' immense popularity and comfortable financial standing heading into the 2014 season. Johnson and fellow executive Stan Kasten were part of the group that bought the Dodgers for an astounding $2 billion in March of 2012.

Since then the franchise's financial muscle has been on display repeatedly, with the Dodgers having the second-highest team payroll in baseball in 2013. The Dodgers also signed a lucrative TV deal with Time Warner Cable in 2013 that will pay them more than $7 billion over the next 25 years.

With Johnson standing as a public face for the franchise and the team possessing considerable financial backing, it is clear the Dodgers' popularity and influence, both in Los Angeles and across the country, has become immense.

Such a reality enabled the Dodgers to lock up reigning NL Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw for $215 million over the next seven seasons. Add in last offseason's six-year, $147 million deal for Zack Greinke, along with the large contracts that Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, and Matt Kemp are currently being paid, and the Dodgers are clearly unafraid to spend money.

Considering the demand for season tickets and that massive TV deal, however, it doesn't appear that the Dodgers will be running out of ways to generate revenue any time soon. Although the team fell to the Cardinals in the NLCS in 2013, their current roster and eagerness to spend indicates that the Dodgers are a good bet to become a fixture in October over the coming seasons.

It's a good time to be a Dodgers fan, and judging by Johnson's statement on Wednesday, the Dodgers won't have problems selling season tickets any time soon.

NBA Draft 2013: Orlando Magic likely to search for perimeter help at No. 2

The Orlando Magic would love to have Nerlens Noel, but if he goes No. 1 as expected, they'll likely take a perimeter player at No. 2 overall.

The Orlando Magic will enter the 2013-14 season poised for the next phase of their rebuilding project in the post-Dwight Howard era. After the trade that netted them Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Moe Harkless and Nikola Vucevic, Magic GM Rob Hennigan was widely panned for not getting enough in return for the superstar center. A season later, Hennigan is the one looking like a genius, as Vucevic was a top-five rebounder in the NBA and Harkless took strides forward. Meanwhile, Howard played poorly for the Lakers, Andre Iguodala never got comfortable in Denver and has since opted out of his contract to become an unrestricted free agent and Andrew Bynum didn't play at all for the 76ers.

The Magic will be able to add another huge piece to the future of the franchise on draft night with the No. 2 overall pick. This is the first time the Magic have drafted in the top ten since 2004 when they took Howard No. 1 overall. Since then, the highest they've picked has been No.11. They've done so twice, taking Fran Vasquez in 2005 and J.J. Redick in 2006. Although there is no Dwight Howard available in the 2013 draft, Magic fans will relish the opportunity to root for a talented "clean slate" player.

Draft Picks

The Magic have the No. 2 overall pick in the draft and would have had the No. 31 pick as well, but they traded it to the Cavaliers for Justin Harper (don't blame yourself if you've never heard of him). They acquired the No. 51 pick in the draft from Denver in the Howard trade, a pick that was originally Golden State's, but was sent to the Knicks in the David Lee sign-and-trade, then sent to Denver for Carmelo Anthony. Isn't NBA draft trade history fun?

Depth Chart

Point guard: Jameer Nelson, Beno Udrih (free agent), E'Twaun Moore

Shooting guard: Arron Afflalo, DeQuan Jones, Doron Lamb

Small forward: Moe Harkless, Hedo Turkoglu (player option)

Power forward: Tobias Harris, Glen Davis, Andrew Nicholson, Al Harrington

Center: Nikola Vucevic, Kyle O'Quinn

The Magic have Hedo Turkoglu, Beno Udrih and Al Harrington all coming off the books, with Harrington and Turkoglu having non-guaranteed contracts for 2013-14 and no one expecting them to renew. They also could re-sign Kyle O'Quinn, DeQuan Jones and E'Twuan Moore, who have non-guaranteed contracts at under $1 million each for 2013-14.

Biggest Need(s)

Based on the players on the roster, the Magic are truly in a "best player available" position. Other than Vucevic, the Magic wouldn't be reluctant to push any starters to the bench in favor of a better player, and Vucevic could play the 4 if the Magic needed him to.

Point guard is their biggest need. Jameer Nelson declined last year and he's under contract until the end of next season with a team option for 2014-15. The Magic, according to ESPN's Chad Ford, would have leaped at the chance to draft Oklahoma State point guard Marcus Smart, but he decided to stay in school.

If the Magic believe Nicholson and Vucevic can be a frontcourt foundation, with Harkless and Harris capable of being smallball or stretch 4s, the need becomes apparent for a swingman, preferably a three-point shooter. This is especially true if they trade Afflalo to the Clippers for Eric Bledsoe, as rumored.

Potential Targets

It's hard to look at any mock draft that doesn't have the Magic taking Kansas' Ben McLemore (scouting report). He fits the shooter/slasher role to a T and is a high-character player with a seemingly low floor. He also could bring the added benefit of not having a major positive impact right away, positioning the Magic for next year's lottery, with Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker and Marcus Smart in the picture. Orlando could also take Indiana's Victor Oladipo (scouting report).

Otto Porter (scouting report) of Georgetown is another player Hennigan has to be looking hard at, if only to keep his options open. Porter can serve as a point forward at times and is incredibly versatile, something you can't say about Harris and Harkless, who, although talented, already have the look of classic "tweeners."

The Magic would likely take Nerlens Noel (scouting report) if he did not go No. 1 overall to Cleveland.

"p.k. always uses his keister to lay the big hit. Eventually that will take its toll on his spine, and he'll get injured." -posted on habseyesontheprize.com Subban: "Keister? I actually think I'm less likely to get injured that way because I'm using the strongest part of my body rather than my shoulder. Guys are so big and fast nowadays that you see more dislocated shoulders or sprained AC joints. When I'm using my hip and my keister, it's probably putting me at less risk of that happening."

P.K. Subban responding to a comment Kevin made last summer Chris pointed this out in a game thread recently, but I somehow missed it until now. We love you Pernell-Karl at EOTP, don't worry too much about "Dr. Van Steendelaar" :)

Habs Failing for Nail Campaign Will Likely Fail

The 2011-12 season hasn't gone well for the Canadiens, and their fans are looking at tanking for a top draft pick. That won't be easy for the Canadiens, who statistically don't appear to belong with the worst of the NHL.

"We didn’t even play a bad game. That’s the most frustrating thing about this year. If I could...

"We didn’t even play a bad game. That’s the most frustrating thing about this year. If I could explain it, we wouldn’t be where we are right now," added the veteran forward. "We were in the game, we were in control, we were playing well, but it seems like there’s always something that happens. I don’t want to blame luck, because I know luck is something you make yourself."

Mathieu Darche, trying to figure out the 2011-12 season. Every once in a while, in post-game, a player breaks a bit from the stock athlete quote and says something that really sums things up. It's been a surreal, frustrating year.

Damn the Haters

Oh yes, the lazy media is back to its old tricks of inventing myths about the past to deride the present and future Habs. But in the spirit of Twisted Sister, us at Eyes on the Prize are just not going to take it, and we're armed with actual facts to take on all haters.

Joonas Nattinen returns to action, Leblanc close as well

The Bulldogs will be using Joonas Nattinen in Aaron Palushaj's spot for this weekend's series in St. John's, Newfoundland. Nattinen missed all of training camp in both the NHL and AHL, and will be broken in on RW with Brian Willsie (C) and Brock Trotter (LW) despite his natural position being centre. Louis Leblanc is also close to a return following off-season shoulder surgery, following a similar recovery as Lars Eller.
