http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/06/26/0...3.lhc6qc94.html Harry Potter may perish in the final installment of the boy wizard series in which two main characters die, author J.K. Rowling hinted in a television interview. Speaking on Monday evening, Joanne Kathleen Rowling, 40, said she was well on the way to finishing the eagerly-awaited seventh Potter book. "I wrote the final chapter in something like 1990, so I've known exactly how the series is going to end," she told a chat show on Channel 4 television. "The final chapter is hidden away although it's now changed very slightly. One character got a reprieve. But I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die," Rowling said. "A price has to be paid, we are dealing with pure evil here. They don't target extras, do they? They go for the main characters -- well, I do." Asked whether one of the casualties would be Potter himself, Rowling said she had never been tempted to kill off the magician before the finale. At the same time, she added: "I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks, 'Well I'm gonna kill them off because that means there can be no non-author written sequels. So it will end with me and after I'm dead and gone they won't be able to bring back the character'." The author said she did not want to commit herself either way on Potter's fate, telling interviewers Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan: "I don't want the hate mail, apart from anything else." Speaking of her life as a famous writer, Rowling admitted to having been in denial during the unprecedented success of her first three books on the adventures of Potter and his friends at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. "That's where my reputation for being po-faced comes from. I was like a rabbit caught in the headlights," she said. Rowling, who shot to fame from humble roots, also revealed that she still writes in cafes and based the character of Potter's good friend Hermione on a combination of herself and her sister when they were young. As for the future after Potter, Rowling said: "I don't think I'm ever going to have anything like Harry again. You just get one like Harry." The first six books in the series have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide and been translated into 63 languages. The first four have also been made into blockbuster movies. The seventh novel is reportedly due to be published next year at the earliest.

I've heard that Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee Herman) is also in the running for the role of the Joker.

is there a link to a story on this anywhere?

Arroyo has already faced the Cardinals and Cubs twice. The Cards did rough him up a bit on Easter, but he dominated them the second time out. I like what I've seen from Arroyo (being a Reds fan). I see a pitcher who is constantly making adjustments during the game to keep the opposing hitters off balance. I think he's the real deal.

I've seen them live. I love their music. Other similar bands: Savatage (from whence my sn is derived) Rhapsody Kamelot Lana Lane (female vocals)

At 1 homerun per every 19.62 at bats, if Cabs were to stay at that rate (I believe he'll improve upon it, as the last two seasons average out to 1 homer every 18.42 times up) and playing to age 41, Cabrera would end up with 667 homeruns.

FWIW, if you project for the five seasons that Ted Williams missed due to war time, he ends with 705 homeruns.

As best I can, I'm going to research the numbers on current players vs. each other and Aaron and Ruth. Ken Griffey Jr. At the age of 36, Ken Griffey Jr. now has 537 homeruns. At the age of 36, Hank Aaron had 592 career homers, a difference of 55 homeruns. Griffey has amassed his homerun total playing in 2,127 games, while Aaron had played in 2,576 games by age 36, a difference of 449 games advantage to Aaron. Junior has hit his 537 career homeruns in 7,878 at bats, while Aaron hit his 592 homeruns by age 36 in 9,952 at bats, a difference of 2,074 at bats advantage to Aaron. Analysis: By age 36, Hank Aaron had hit 55 more homeruns than Ken Griffey Jr. while playing in 449 more games and amassing 2,074 more at bats. In essence, playing 2.7 more seasons than Junior. At age 36, Babe Ruth had 611 homeruns, 74 more than Griffey and 19 more than Aaron. He accomplished this while playing in 2,080 games, 47 less than Griffey and 496 less games than Aaron. It took Ruth 7,045 at bats to hit his 611 homeruns, 833 less at bats than Junior, and 2,907 less than Aaron, a staggering number. Analysis: Aaron had 19 less homeruns than Ruth at age 36, while playing the equivalent of 3.06 more modern seasons than the Babe. A more prolific homerun hitter than either Griffey or Aaron, while Griffey is more prolific than Hammerin' Hank. At age 36, Barry Bonds had 567 homeruns. This is 30 more than Griffey, 25 less than Aaron and 44 less than Ruth. Bonds accomplished his age 36 numbers by playing in 2,296 games, 169 more games than Griffey (roughly one season), 280 less games than Aaron and 216 more than Ruth. Bonds numbers came in 7,932 at bats, just 54 more at bats than Junior, 2,020 less at bats than Aaron and 887 more at bats than Ruth. Analysis: At the age of 36, Griffey and Bonds are almost equal on the homerun pace. Ruth is by far the more prolific homerun hitter of the four, and Aaron had a huge advantage over everyone by playing in many more games and gaining a large advantage of at bats. Age 36 one homerun per # of at bats: Griffey-14.67 Aaron-16.81 Ruth-11.53 Bonds-13.98 Barry Bonds At the age of 41 now, Barry Bonds has 708 career homeruns. At the same age, Hank Aaron had 745 homeruns, while Babe Ruth retired at the age of 40 with 714 homeruns. Barry Bonds has played in 2,732 career games. At the age of 41, Hank Aaron had 3,213 games played, an advantage of 481 games (2.96 modern seasons more than Bonds). Barry has 9,145 career at bats, while Aaron had 12,093 at bats at the age of 41, an advantage of 2,948 at bats. Analysis: At age 41, Hank Aaron had 37 more career homeruns than Barry Bonds has while playing the equivalency of almost 3 more modern seasons. This makes Bonds a more prolific homerun hitter than Aaron. Now, let's compare Bonds and Ruth's career numbers. 708 career homeruns for Barry, 714 for Ruth. Ruth played in 2,503 games, 229 less than Barry Bonds. The Babe had 8,398 at bats, 747 less than Bonds. Analysis: No matter what happens going forward, the numbers show that Babe Ruth was a better homerun hitter than both Bonds and Aaron. Age 40/41 one homerun per # of at bats: Bonds-12.91 Aaron-16.23 Ruth-11.76 Alex Rodriguez Alex Rodriguez has hit 430 homeruns now by the age of 30. By the age of 30, Griffey had hit 438 homeruns. Rodriguez has played in 1,595 career games. Griffey had 1,680 games at age 30, an advantage of 85 games. ARod has 6,208 career at bats. Griffey had 6,352 at bats, an advantage of 144 at bats. The two are so close at age 30, it's eery, however, ARod is ever so slightly the more prolific homerun hitter with one homerun every 14.4 at bats to Griffey's one homerun every 14.5 at bats. At age 30, Hank Aaron had hit 366 homeruns. He did this in 1,656 games, 61 more games than ARod. Aaron had 6,510 at bats, 302 more than ARod. Rodriguez has 64 more homeruns, playing in less games and with less at bats. Ruth at age 30 had 309 homeruns (he was primarily a pitcher until age 24). Ruth played in 1,198 games and had 3,923 at bats. 121 less homers than ARod while playing in 397 less games (2.45 modern seasons) and having 2,285 less at bats. Bonds at age 30 had 292 career homeruns, 138 less homers than ARod. Bonds had played in 1,425 games, 170 less career games than ARod (roughly one modern season). Bonds had 5,020 career at bats, 1,188 less at bats than ARod. Age 30 one homerun per # of at bats: Griffey-14.5 Rodriguez-14.4 Aaron-17.78 Ruth-12.69 Bonds-17.19 Analysis: Bonds was the better homerun hitter than Aaron by age 30, but only slightly. Griffey and Rodriguez were virtually equals, while Ruth was once again more prolific. Albert Pujols Albert Pujols has 204 homeruns at the age of 26. He has put up this amount of homers while playing in 792 games and accumulating 2,960 at bats. At age 26, Ken Griffey Jr. had hit 235 homeruns, 31 more than Albert, while playing in 1,057 games, 265 more games than Pujols. Junior had 3,985 at bats, 1,025 more than Pujols. Aaron at age 26 had hit 219 homeruns, 15 more than Pujols. Aaron had played in 1,039 games, 247 more than Pujols. Aaron had 4,114 at bats, 1,154 more at bats than Pujols. Ruth at age 26 had hit 162 homeruns, 42 less than Albert, while playing in 685 games, just 107 less than Pujols. Ruth had 2,107 at bats, 853 less than Pujols. Bonds at age 26 had hit 142 homeruns, 62 less than Albert, while playing in 870 games, 78 more than Pujols. Bonds had 3,111 at bats, 151 more at bats than Pujols. ARod at age 26 had hit 298 homeruns, 94 more than Pujols, while playing in 1,114 games, 322 more than Pujols (roughly 2 modern seasons) and accumulating 4,382 at bats, 1,422 more than Pujols. To compare, Adam Dunn is also 26 and has hit 159 homeruns while playing in 663 games and accumulating 2,278 at bats. Age 26 one homerun per # of at bats: Pujols-14.5 Griffey-16.95 Aaron-18.78 Ruth-13.0 Bonds-21.9 Rodriguez-14.7 Dunn-14.32 Analysis: We may have the privilege of watching three of the most prolific homerun hitters in history playing right now. If Pujols, ARod and Dunn can all stay healthy, the sky is the limit. Just for fun, I decided to also track Ted Williams at ages 26, 30, 36 and 41. Williams at age 26: Was away from baseball, serving in the war, but here are his stats through age 23 when he last played. 586 games played, 2104 at bats, and 127 homeruns. Average 1 homerun every 16.56 at bats. Williams at age 30: 1184 games played, 4221 at bats with 265 homeruns. Average 1 homerun every 15.93 at bats. Williams at age 36: 1679 games played, 5893 at bats with 394 homeruns. Average 1 homerun every 14.96 at bats. Williams at 41: 2292 games played, 7706 at bats with 521 homeruns. Average 1 homerun every 14.79 at bats. To compare all of these players at each age as far as who was the best at hitting the long ball most often as follows: Age 26 1. Babe Ruth 1 homerun every 13 at bats. 2. Adam Dunn 1 homerun every 14.32 at bats. 3. Albert Pujols 1 homerun every 14.5 at bats. 4. Alex Rodriguez 1 homerun every 14.7 at bats. 5. Ted Williams 1 homerun every 16.56 at bats. 6. Ken Griffey Jr. 1 homerun every 16.95 at bats. 7. Hank Aaron 1 homerun every 18.78 at bats. 8. Barry Bonds 1 homerun every 21.9 at bats. Age 30 1. Babe Ruth 1 homerun every 12.69 at bats. 2. Alex Rodriguez 1 homerun every 14.4 at bats. 3. Ken Griffey Jr. 1 homerun every 14.5 at bats. 4. Ted Williams 1 homerun every 15.93 at bats. 5. Barry Bonds 1 homerun every 17.19 at bats. 6. Hank Aaron 1 homerun every 17.78 at bats. Age 36 1. Babe Ruth 1 homerun every 11.53 at bats. 2. Barry Bonds 1 homerun every 13.98 at bats. 3. Ken Griffey Jr. 1 homerun every 14.67 at bats. 4. Ted Williams 1 homerun every 14.96 at bats. 5. Hank Aaron 1 homerun every 16.81 at bats. Age 40/41 1. Babe Ruth 1 homerun every 11.76 at bats. 2. Barry Bonds 1 homerun every 12.91 at bats. 3. Ted Williams 1 homerun every 14.79 at bats. 4. Hank Aaron 1 homerun every 16.23 at bats. The Game of Shadows book tells us that Barry Bonds began using steroids in 1998 at the age of 33. Here is a comparison of each of these players through age 33. These numbers may surprise you. Career Homeruns Through Age 33 1. Hank Aaron 481 homeruns (tie) 1. Ken Griffey Jr. 481 homeruns (tie) 2. Babe Ruth 470 homeruns 3. Barry Bonds 411 homeruns 4. Ted Williams 324 homeruns Homerun Rate Through Age 33 1. Babe Ruth 1 homerun every 11.69 at bats 2. Ken Griffey Jr. 1 homerun every 14.72 at bats 3. Ted Williams 1 homerun every 15.73 at bats 4. Barry Bonds 1 homerun every 16.11 at bats 5. Hank Aaron 1 homerun every 17.22 at bats Babe Ruth is clearly the most prolific homerun hitter of all-time, and we'll probably never see anyone else come close to hitting the long ball at the same rate over an entire career again. Hank Aaron, the all-time career homerun leader, is the least prolific homerun hitter among those listed here, and was so at every age listed, with the exception of age 26 where he was ahead of Barry Bonds. While not a scientific study by any means, these numbers show that hitters homerun rates increase as they mature. Here are the homerun rates for all of the active players for the 2005 season. Ken Griffey Jr.-1 homerun every 14.03 at bats Barry Bonds-1 homerun every 8.4 at bats Alex Rodriguez-1 homerun every 12.6 at bats Albert Pujols-1 homerun every 14.41 at bats Adam Dunn-1 homerun every 13.58 at bats Pretty impressive, no? Okay, now I know this is going to be a stretch, but I'm going to take the career averages of at bats for all of these players and project using their career homerun rate (without accounting for an expected increase during the peak career years) and project what the final homerun totals will look like if all of them can play through age 41, which for some reason seems to be the age that great homerun hitters leave the game. This is accounting that 2006 will be Barry Bonds last year as well. 1. Alex Rodriguez-858 homeruns 2. Albert Pujols-844 homeruns 3. Hank Aaron-755 homeruns 4. Barry Bonds-743 homeruns 5. Ken Griffey Jr.-725 homeruns 6. Babe Ruth-714 homeruns 7. Adam Dunn-664 homeruns 8. Ted Williams-521 homeruns I've decided to compare and contrast the top 20 homerun hitters with the players I mentioned. Here we go. Career Homeruns at Age 26 1. 298-Alex Rodriguez 2. 266-Jimmie Foxx 3. 253-Eddie Matthews 4. 249-Mickey Mantle 5. 242-Mel Ott 6. 241 Frank Robinson 7. 235-Ken Griffey Jr. 8. 219-Hank Aaron 9. 204-Albert Pujols 10. 187-Willie Mays 11. 178-Harmon Killebrew 12. 165-Eddie Murray 13. 162-Babe Ruth 14. 159-Adam Dunn 15. 157-Reggie Jackson 16. 156-Mark McGwire 17. 142-Barry Bonds 18. 136-Ernie Banks 19. 131-Mike Schmidt (tie) 19. 131-Sammy Sosa (tie) 20. 126-Willie McCovey 21. 73-Rafael Palmeiro 1 Homerun Per # of At BAts, Age 26 1.

Eddie Murray-1 homerun every 22.49 at bats I was wrong, McGwire ended his career a more prolific power hitter than the Babe. That's just sick having one homerun practically every 11 times at bat. I'm impressed at the level of consistency by Ruth and Killebrew over their careers. The improvements made by Bonds, Palmeiro and Sosa as they advanced through their careers is simply astounding. Chemically astounding I mean.

If you are a Rachel McAdams fan, then I seriously recommend you import the DVD of "My Name is Tanino". It's in Italian, but that shouldn't matter, it's worth the price just for Miss McAdams.

yeah i didnt get laid but at least i got my education and im about to get my bachelors!!! and at the end of the day thats what really important. Sure, if you're gay. Or...were you on the chess team? :whistle

I want to see somebody win $.01 and then go freaking nuts all over the studio as though they won the million dollars. That'd be awesome. :hat

Aaron was on the first season, too, as then-Senator Palmer's security detail. He's one of a few holdovers from all seasons along with Tony, Jack, and Kim. Kim wasn't in last season.

Yeah, that was easily the best episode since the premier. Logan might be the best thing about this season. To a large degree, 24 has gotten stale for me. But the one thing they have excelled at (and rather unexpectedly) is coming up with these strange characters...like Logan, Chloe, Edgar. You won't get characters like this on any other show. And for the most part they manage to stay believable. So, while much of the time, I feel like they're just going through the motions, having people like Logan around keeps me interested. And I happen to agree with his decision this time around. I don't care how important this one guy is...if it means saving 100,000 people or more, you have to give him up. Unless he's like some otherworldly and irreplacable figure who is completely necessary for joining Russia and the US in some everlasting bond of friendship. To look at this another way...would you choose Logan over 100,000 people, when you could easily slide in someone else who would be more effective than Logan? And I may get my arrested for saying this, but couldn't you say the same of President Bush*? *-Mabdul Doobakus in no way wishes harm on President Bush. May he live a long and prosperous life. I also agree with Logan's decision in this case, and I think Palmer would have done the same thing in regards to both the Russian Prez and the Mall incident. And in both cases the decisions would have been received better by the viewers (and in the mall case, Jack) just because Palmer made them instead of Logan. The main problem would be that killing President Suvarov on U.S. soil could undermine or nullify the treaty Logan just signed (because I doubt any info about Logan being involved would ever see the light of day and cause a U.S.-Russian war), but I guess he'll have to risk his legacy he was so fond of speaking about in the opening episodes. Another problem is whether or not any foreign leaders would ever feel safe in the U.S. again, but if they're willing to come to L.A. after the incidents of the past 4 seasons I doubt a little assassination attempt on the Russian Prez is going to deter them anytime soon. David Palmer would have loved nothing more than if his wife got into a car that was a terrorist target.

If you guys seriously want to continue playing MVP05 (but in an updated version), I would consider going over here to pick up this modification to the original game: MVP"06" MOD From what I've read it sounds amazing and will be as if you've picked up a new copy of MVP06 Nice for PC users, but not helpful to us console players.

Sean Astin joins the cast tonight! Can't wait!

:lol

I'll repost here a post I made on Redszone on 10/26/05: My favorite file sharing program, Win MX, recently shut down operations. We keep hearing about how copying CDs and movies is taking money away from the artists and those who make the films and compact discs. Yet, where was the outcry when the VCR came out and people could record television shows and movies on video tapes and pass them among their friends and family? Where was the outcry when blank audio tapes came out and the record button was put on cassette players so that listeners could make mix tapes of their favorite songs or copy their tapes for their friends? Was the industry losing money back then? I'm sure that it was, but there was no movement to stop people from copying. Why now is there such a huge demand from the recording and filmmaking industries to stop people from making copies of their products? I'm of the opinion that it is due to the fact that the products have become inferior. What was the last original idea to come out of Hollywood? Who was the last great musical group to hit it big with a unique original sound? We're getting cookie cutter pop stars and remakes of classic films galore these days. Why pay money for a CD when you've already bought one that sounds just like it, or to go to a movie that you saw 20 years ago? When I was downloading music, it was mainly to get rare live recordings not available on disc, or to check out new acts, and on several occasions, I actually went out and bought the CDs of artists that I enjoyed. But I'm not going to go pay for an entire CD because of the one song I heard on the radio. And I'm not going to go see the latest remake of The Fog when I can just rent the original and watch it in the comfort of my own house. I don't really feel that bad about it, because the people who make the most money off of the sales of the CDs and movie tickets are the people who make the decisions to release the crap that is coming out today. The artists make most of their money in touring and endorsements. Almost everyone in the entertainment industry makes more money than I do. When I can see originality and fresh sounds, I'll gladly pay my money for it, but I need to know what I'm buying before I empty my wallet.

Both rookies of the year are announced today? Have they always done them on the same day?
