Age: 26; MLB debut: 2013.
2018 stats: .298, 23 HR, 89 RBIs.
Scout's take: "I would expect him to have the same year this year as he had last, maybe with more home runs and improved play in right field. ... He’s not J.D. Martinez, but he’s a good hitter. ... Did Castellanos ever give you or anybody a reason why he wouldn’t play first base?"
Age: 32; MLB debut: 2009.
2018 stats: .182, 0 HR, 1 RBI.
Scout's take: "Damn, he made some super plays in the field this spring. ... I see him as more of a defensive replacement than any offensive value."
Age: 29; MLB debut: 2015.
2018 stats: .260, 9 HR, 32 RBIs.
Scout's take: "Maybe a platoon player that’s going to play more than he should. … He can swing the bat. ... Both of their catchers, for me, are better as backups."
2018 stats: .202, 9 HR, 29 RBIs.
Scout's take: "I tell you, Mahtook hit a couple balls this spring that I’ve never seen him hit that far. ... I’ve never been a fan of his. I don’t know what to tell you about him."
Age: 24; MLB debut: 2018.
2018 stats: .268, 11 HR (AAA).
Scout's take: "He’s another guy that has a little bit more power than I’ve given him credit for."
Jordan Zimmermann will definitely start the opener. Beyond that? Here's the rotation alternating between right-handers and left-handers; the Tigers will need all five starters in the first turn through the rotation, thanks to an eight-games-in-eight-days stretch in Toronto, New York and Detroit.
Scout's take: "At times this spring, he’s looked as good as I’ve ever seen him. ... I think Zimmermann has looked as good as he has since he’s been there. I don’t think he’s the bell cow he was in Washington, but he’s going to have a good year."
Age: 28; MLB debut: 2015.
2018 stats: 9-13, 4.39 ERA, 1.157 WHIP.
Scout's take: "Wherever he is in that rotation, he should do a good job. ... He'll be all right."
Age: 31; MLB debut: 2010.
2018 stats: 8-9, 4.15 ERA, 1.296 WHIP.
Scout's take: "Veteran, but more of a fifth starter for me. ... His slider seemed to come on as spring got deeper. ... It would take a crazy good first half for them to move him."
Age: 29; MLB debut: 2011.
Scout's take: "I have big concerns on the back end, more importantly, the rotation depth, and he's one of them. ... Of the starts I saw him, he was above-average for a couple innings, at most."
2018 stats: 0-2, 6.06 ERA, 1.28 WHIP.
Scout's take: "He’s an unproven guy but I like him; he’s got a good arm. ... I don’t know if he’s a starter or reliever, but he’s a big-league guy. Even if he pitches well, he’s going to have ups and downs this year."
Shane Greene is the closer for now, though that could change if Greene draws interest near the trade deadline. Joe Jimenez would slot in there with a deal. Daniel Norris opens the season in the 'pen, though the Tigers will try to keep him stretched out and re-evaluate his role after the opening stretch is done.
Age: 25; MLB debut: 2017.
2018 stats: 2.40 ERA, 1.033 WHIP.
Scout's take: "He’s alright, he’s alright. ... Situational middle man, to tell you the truth, for me. ... Big arm, really exciting, he sinks the ball ... I think there’s a guy that by the end of the year, maybe he moves up to the eighth inning."
Scout's take: "I don’t know if he’s throwing a split or change but it was as good as I saw it all spring. ... He was kind of disappointing. I was talking to somebody, who said he might be the odd man out."
Age: 26; MLB debut: None.
Scout's take: "He’s good. Very good Rule 5 pick. ... He’s going to help that pen in a couple of different roles. ... I was really impressed, he got off to a slow start, but the slider was better than I had heard. That was a really good pickup for them."
Age: 30; MLB debut: 2014.
Scout's take: "Better seventh-eighth-inning guy in a better pen than closer. ... Needs improvement against lefties or his value won't be high enough to trade."
Age: 31; MLB debut: 2014.
Scout's take: "Hardy is a reliable sort, in a couple different roles. ... Not an overpowering guy, but when he gets his breaking ball over, he's good. ... I'd take him on my team."
Age: 24; MLB debut: 2017.
2018 stats: 3 SV, 4.31 ERA, 1.197 WHIP.
Scout's take: "Big arm, I like him, I think in that role he’s going to flourish. ... I think he might be a future closer. ... To me, not a bona fide closer, he’s more of a seventh-eighth-inning guy. I’m not as high on him as probably they are."
Age: 25; MLB debut: 2014.
Scout's take: "I’ve seen some of the best (crap) out of the world from him in Detroit in some starts and the same guy just does not show up day after day, I don’t know what it is. ... I’ve always liked the arm, I like the kid, I think he’s athletic but at some point, you gotta perform and he’s gotta do that now."
Age: 28; MLB debut: 2016.
2018 stats: 56 games, 4.93 ERA, 1.565 WHIP.
Scout's take: "You know, when he's good, he's good. ... I’ve never really trusted him. I’ve never been a really big fan. .. Stumpf is Stumpf. ... Not consistent enough for me."
Belgium will be deeply disappointed if they fail to win the World Cup, defender Thomas Vermaelen said on Sunday, in the first direct acknowledgement of the team’s belief in their ability to emerge triumphant in Russia.
While other players have kept up a steady mantra of taking the tournament one game at a time, the 32-year-old defender make clear his vista was firmly focused on next Sunday’s final at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium.
“We want desperately to get to the final and go on and win because if it doesn’t happen it will forever be a disappointment. Our ambition is to go on and win the final,” Vermaelen told a news conference, some 48 hours ahead of the semi-final against France in St Petersburg.
“I believe in it of course, especially as we find ourselves in the semi-finals having knocked out one of the top favourites.
Friday’s 2-1 victory over Brazil in the quarter-finals followed a rousing come-from-behind win over the Japanese, where Belgium found themselves two goals behind with 30 minutes to play but won 3-2 in the round of 16.
Vermaelen believes France will be tougher opponents than five-times world champions Brazil.
“France were one of the favourites before the World Cup and I think the game will be tougher than against Brazil because of their individual quality," he said.
He singled out his Barcelona team mate Samuel Umtiti.
“He’s quick and strong, a complete defender,” Vermaelen said.
But Belgium are counting on stars of their own like Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne.
Shortly after CAMERA’s Israel office alerted editors to the erroneous references to Tel Aviv as Israel’s capital, as opposed to Jerusalem, they commendably corrected. In the amended article, “Israel” appears in place of Tel Aviv.
Clarified on March 22, 2017: This article has been updated to clarify references to the government of Israel.
Other media outlets which previously corrected erroneous references to Tel Aviv as Israel’s capital include The Associated Press, Times of London, The Independent, The Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, The Daily Mirror, Agence France-Presse, Monitor Global Outlook and The Washington Post.
Apple is expected to release refreshed version of iPads and MacBooks this year. Thanks to recent registration filings, it now appears as though Apple is preparing to release two new iPad models in March.
Earlier this week, Apple registered several new devices in the Eurasian commission database, which was first discovered by Consomac. The most recent entries include filing for devices with model numbers A1954 and A1893. The devices are simply described as Apple tablets running iOS 11, which only means that these are two new iPad models.
But are these the new iPads with Face ID? That’s highly unlikely. Previous rumors suggest that Apple would introduce those brand new Face ID iPads during the second half of 2018. However, these recent filings seem to indicate these two new iPad models will launch a lot sooner.
9To5Mac pointed out that references for the iPhone 7 and the AirPods first popped up two weeks before their official announcements. As for the 2017 MacBooks and Apple’s new keyboards, those appeared in the Eurasian database in May before being officially announced in early June during WWDC 2017. The timing of the Eurasian filings seem to suggest that Apple will unveil the two new iPad models in March 2018.
It’s now being speculated the these two new iPad models may just be refreshed versions of the regular non-Pro 2017 9.7-inch iPad. It seems very plausible considering that the 2017 iPad was also announced in the month of March last year and an annual update or refresh for devices isn’t so outlandish for a company like Apple.
The 2018 9.7-inch iPad will most likely look similar to the 2017 version but will include internal upgrades. It was also rumored back in December that Apple was planning to release a cheaper iPad model with a $259 price tag during the second quarter of 2018. The 2017 9.7-inch iPad costs $329. Apple could announce the $259 2018 iPad in March and start selling the device in April, but that’s just speculation at this point.
Since these two new 2018 iPad models are expected to be refreshed version of last year’s model, it’s likely that Apple won’t make a big deal out of it. When it announced the 2017 9.7-inch iPad, Apple simply made a press release to inform consumers of the new product.

Bela Tarr is the sort of name you'd invent for an East European director whose reputation (in Britain, at least) rests up to now on hearsay rather than eye-evidence, and whose films spell out 'A-R-T H-O-U-S-E' in poster capitals.
Damnation was made in 1987, when communism was collapsing in Hungary, leaving people freer, but also in social, cultural and emotional freefall without the stern diktats of ideology to hold them under, but together.
In other words, it is already a museum exhibit and even film buffs here - it opens at the Renoir Cinema and is included in a Bela Tarr season at the NFT - will have to exercise unusual patience with Tarr's tableauesque compositions in which any action resembles the fortuitous conjunction of raindrops trickling down a window pane.
There's a lot of rain in the film, punitive stuff, misting the background of the dead-end coal town whose over-head trucks of mineral roll endlessly across a washed-out skyscape.
Apartments are bare. The only bar in town, aptly called Titanic, is puddled with rainwater and looks to be sinking; dogs on the brink of feral relapse chase their tails; and, in one scene that sums up the hopeless, purposeless existence of the place, the townsfolk circulate in a shuffling conga line, not even enjoying themselves in their drink.
The film has been compared to Antonioni's exercises in Sixties alienation, like The Eclipse, and I can see the grey parallel universe, except that the Italian's is so much more chic in its anomie.
Story, anyone? Yes, there is one, if you can find it amid so many baffling still-lifes, about a moody stalker who involves his mistress's husband in a little smuggling, then denounces him to the police in order to get him out of the way.
Betrayal, revenge, miserabilism in monochrome: are we ready for Tarr's Werckmeister Harmonies, made last year, at 145 minutes? Maybe not quite yet: but Damnation is a good taster.
NEW YORK — Reaching a labor deal soon is hardly a done deal in the NFL.
Team owners will be updated on recent negotiations with the players when they meet in Chicago on Tuesday. They've been told to prepare to stay an extra day because of the complexity of the proposals both sides have discussed in sessions over the last three weeks.
Getting the required 24 of 32 owners to agree on anything can be difficult, let alone something as complex as a new collective bargaining agreement. And there has been enough pushback from owners familiar with those proposals that progress made recently might not lead to an agreement in the next few weeks.
Still, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations, the faction of unhappy owners that exists isn't yet large enough to derail an agreement. That could lead to some heavy lobbying in Chicago at the first owners' meeting specifically scheduled to deal with the lockout.
Goodell said in his reply dated June 13 that testing for HGH "is a critical element of an effective and credible drug testing program" and the league is insisting on "immediate implementation of HGH testing" in the negotiations.
Whether or not such a provision makes it into the CBA, it's clear that deadlines are approaching. Training camps normally would open in about five weeks, and any lengthy delays in striking a deal will endanger them and the preseason. The first preseason game is at the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductions; the Bears and Rams are scheduled to play Aug. 7 in Canton, Ohio.
"I know that we've been talking pretty extensively over the last few weeks," said Saints quarterback Drew Brees, one of 10 players on an antitrust suit brought against the league on March 11, hours before the lockout began. "It seems like things are moving in the right direction, which is very positive. It's what we always hoped for as players because obviously we're getting to crunch time here. We're nearing July and there's a lot of work that needs to be done (footballwise) between now and when the season will start, and obviously we'd love to have a settlement in place."

A model on the Sally LaPointe fall 2016 runway.
"The wave that happens after that, I guess you could say, is huge," the designer tells Pret-a-Reporter before her fall 2016 show during New York Fashion Week.
Sally LaPointe's Instagram features a number of photos of one famous face: Kendall Jenner.
So how does the designer feel when she's sees Jenner and Hadid in her creations?
"I get so excited — I see them wear it and it's perfect," the designer told Pret-a-Reporter backstage before her fall 2016 runway presentation near the High Line on Sunday. Beyond that, they've also helped her realize who her customers are. "I think for me it helps me to learn who our woman is. They definitely carry themselves as our woman does as well so it certainly does help me as a young designer to continue in that direction."
It also doesn't hurt that the "it" girls' constantly photographed street-style game gets a lot of attention.
"The wave that happens after that, I guess you could say, is huge," said LaPointe, staying warm from the single-digit weather in one of her own fur coats. "We have people calling the studio, calling the store, people emailing trying to get these pieces so certainly the exposure is huge."
Her latest collection should have no problem landing on the runway stars, as she presented sweaters and leather jackets with fur-accented sleeves, dresses with fur collars, skirts with thigh-high slits, cozy turtlenecks and a black-and-blue embellished dress (one of LaPointe's favorite pieces).
"This season was really about an attitude, not so much a theme," she said, referencing a fellow Sally — photographer Sally Mann — as her inspiration for this season. "[She] has had to notoriously defend her work in saying that it's a direct reflection of her personality and not feeling the need to conform to any type of idea. And in doing so, just being really bold and fearless and honest."
LaPointe adds: "I feel that it's really close to our customer and who she is and who she's developing as so it felt like a very honest season for me."
Sounds perfect for her favorite street-style stars.
ROLESVILLE, N.C. -- A video posted on Twitter Tuesday shows a female student at a North Carolina high school being picked up by a police officer and thrown to the ground.
The incident happened around 7:10 a.m. when Jasmine Darwin attempted to break up a fight between her sister and another student, WRAL reports. That's when Rolesville High School Resource Officer Ruben De Los Santos picked her up and slammed her to the ground.
The officer, who has been at the school for four years, was placed on paid administrative leave.
"Every time I look at it, it's embarrassing," Darwin said. "I didn't even realize it happened. Like, I was in shock."
Darwin's mother, Desiree Harrison, who learned about the event when her daughter got home, says the officer's actions were extreme.
Harrison later took Jasmine to the hospital where she was diagnosed with a concussion, the station reports.

The first preseason game is at the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductions; the Bears and Rams are scheduled to play Aug. 7 in Canton, Ohio.

"I know that we've been talking pretty extensively over the last few weeks," said Saints quarterback Drew Brees, one of 10 players on an antitrust suit brought against the league on March 11, hours before the lockout began. "It seems like things are moving in the right direction, which is very positive. It's what we always hoped for as players because obviously we're getting to crunch time here. We're nearing July and there's a lot of work that needs to be done (footballwise) between now and when the season will start, and obviously we'd love to have a settlement in place."

A model on the Sally LaPointe fall 2016 runway.

"The wave that happens after that, I guess you could say, is huge," the designer tells Pret-a-Reporter before her fall 2016 show during New York Fashion Week.

Sally LaPointe's Instagram features a number of photos of one famous face: Kendall Jenner.

So how does the designer feel when she's sees Jenner and Hadid in her creations?

"I get so excited — I see them wear it and it's perfect," the designer told Pret-a-Reporter backstage before her fall 2016 runway presentation near the High Line on Sunday. Beyond that, they've also helped her realize who her customers are. "I think for me it helps me to learn who our woman is. They definitely carry themselves as our woman does as well so it certainly does help me as a young designer to continue in that direction."

It also doesn't hurt that the "it" girls' constantly photographed street-style game gets a lot of attention.

"The wave that happens after that, I guess you could say, is huge," said LaPointe, staying warm from the single-digit weather in one of her own fur coats. "We have people calling the studio, calling the store, people emailing trying to get these pieces so certainly the exposure is huge."

Her latest collection should have no problem landing on the runway stars, as she presented sweaters and leather jackets with fur-accented sleeves, dresses with fur collars, skirts with thigh-high slits, cozy turtlenecks and a black-and-blue embellished dress (one of LaPointe's favorite pieces).

"This season was really about an attitude, not so much a theme," she said, referencing a fellow Sally — photographer Sally Mann — as her inspiration for this season. "[She] has had to notoriously defend her work in saying that it's a direct reflection of her personality and not feeling the need to conform to any type of idea. And in doing so, just being really bold and fearless and honest."

LaPointe adds: "I feel that it's really close to our customer and who she is and who she's developing as so it felt like a very honest season for me."

Sounds perfect for her favorite street-style stars.

ROLESVILLE, N.C. -- A video posted on Twitter Tuesday shows a female student at a North Carolina high school being picked up by a police officer and thrown to the ground.

The incident happened around 7:10 a.m. when Jasmine Darwin attempted to break up a fight between her sister and another student, WRAL reports. That's when Rolesville High School Resource Officer Ruben De Los Santos picked her up and slammed her to the ground.

The officer, who has been at the school for four years, was placed on paid administrative leave.

"Every time I look at it, it's embarrassing," Darwin said. "I didn't even realize it happened. Like, I was in shock."

Darwin's mother, Desiree Harrison, who learned about the event when her daughter got home, says the officer's actions were extreme.

Harrison later took Jasmine to the hospital where she was diagnosed with a concussion, the station reports.
