The victory gives him his 12th Mustard Belt and fourth in the past five years as he easily coasted to victory, finishing a full 21 hot dogs ahead of Darron Breeden in second. Despite the win, Chestnut was clearly disappointed with his official number after setting out to eat 75. “I was going for 75,” Chestnut told ESPN shortly after finishing. “I always want a new record. I came out fast, but I slowed down faster than I would have liked....

The term milkshake was initially coined in 1885 when it was first published as a recipe with whiskey as an ingredient. But it wasn’t until the 1930s when it was first sold in malt stores, according to Food Network.

Most of the poll’s conclusions are not new; previous studies have reported that women’s sleep problems are widespread. But the poll, conducted annually by the NSF, does provide some interesting insights into how women’s lifestyles affect sleep. For example, women may have trouble falling asleep but they’re not doing anything to wind down before they go to bed. According to the poll (which surveyed 1,003 women between the ages of 18 and 64), women spend the last hour before bedtime watching television, doing household chores or working in front of a computer....

The idea is that, with the outcome supposedly decided, the team with the big number in the run column should not “show up” the other team (whatever that means). You know, professional courtesy. Or something. MORE: Ranking baseball’s five dumbest unwritten rules The only problem is that we keep seeing real-life evidence of why this rule can cost the leading team. In fact, one could argue it’s actually the opposite of playing the game “the right way....

The official MLB Twitter account shared one set of playoff odds from FanGraphs with an unwise caption: “Let us know what you think.” Of course, that just opened the floodgates for fuming fans who wanted to unload some harsh words.

In-game tactical decisions can be chewed up and spit out over and over again, but it means little if the players are at each other’s throats. MORE: Five potential candidates to replace Dusty Baker in Washington This was quite literally the case with the Nationals under the Matt Williams administration.

The 33-year-old veteran had been designated for assignment by the Rangers on Thursday as the team looked to find more playing time for young players. Texas officially released him Sunday. Cabrera can play second, third and shortstop, and still has some pop in his bat. He hit 23 home runs with a .774 OPS last season and has 12 home runs in 323 at-bats this year. There had been some speculation the Mets might take a look at Cabrera in the wake of second baseman Robinson Cano going on the 10-day injured list with a strained hamstring suffered Sunday....

Strasburg was brilliant, striking out 12 in seven shutout innings, and the Nationals wound up with a 5-0 victory, thanks to an eighth-inning grand slam by Michael A. Taylor.

Candidate Sarkozy had promised a clean break with the French past, and here it was, striking at the most sensitive part of France’s sovereignty—its independence from the U.S. and NATO. Marking a complete reversal of General de Gaulle’s 1966 decision to leave NATO’s command and expel NATO headquarters and all bases from French territory, Sarkozy’s announcement was no less than a revolution for NATO and transatlantic relations. Both moves, of course, were warmly welcomed in the U....

In psychology, the extreme nature position (nativism) proposes that intelligence and personality traits are inherited and determined only by genetics. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the extreme nurture position (empiricism) asserts that the mind is a blank slate at birth; external factors like education and upbringing determine who someone becomes in adulthood and how their mind works. Both of these extreme positions have shortcomings and are antiquated....

But then the charm offensive began. Sitting between Zetsche and Chrysler CEO Tom LaSorda on the dais in Stuttgart was the avuncular John Snow, the former Treasury secretary who is now chairman of Cerberus, a $23.5 billion private equity investment firm that owns such household names as Fila and Formica. (More importantly, it has amassed several auto holdings, including a controlling stake in GMAC, the financing arm of General Motors) Far from appearing like a Wall Street sharpie eager to carve up Chrysler, Snow spoke in soothing tones about continuity....
