Christian Yelich seems a cinch for NL MVP, but is it Mookie Betts or Boston teammate J.D. Martinez in the American League? Jacob deGrom or Max Scherzer for the NL Cy Young Award? Shohei Ohtani or Miguel Andujar for AL Rookie of the Year? Martinez has been a monster at the plate in his first season with the Red Sox after signing a $110 million, five-year contract. He launched 43 home runs and led the majors with 130 RBIs....
Daniels isn’t entirely convincing as a moron, but Carrey was born to lose. He does a wonderfully elastic turn that owes debts to Jerry Lewis’s various descents into idiocy and to the great down escalator that was Steve Martin’s “The Jerk.” Let’s be clear about the level of the humor here: there’s a scene in which Lloyd sets fire to a certain bodily emission. (Rhymes with art.) Still, in its most inspired moments – such as when Harry and Lloyd hit high-society Aspen and spend the cash in the briefcase on orange and powder-blue tuxes – “Dumb” made us convulse with laughter and we’re not going to lie about it now....

The total for Lumia stands at 14.3 million units until December 31, 2012. These figures completely match Nokia’s expectations for Q4. What comes as more good news for the company is that its overall sales volume in the North American market also saw an increase of 40 percent year-to-year, to 700,000 during Q4 2012. Q2 and Q3 saw Nokia selling 600,000 and 300,000 respectively. While the U.S. sales are yet to register a dramatic increase, looks like Nokia’s slow and steady approach is definitely pushing the company in a positive direction....

This comes as all states and local governments redraw their political lines using the 2020 Census data. Nonprofit political groups are pushing nonpartisan changes to the redistricting process.
