Move over, Rally Squirrel and Rally Cat.

At last night’s Cardinals-Royals game, Busch Stadium’s right field stands launched the debut of Rally Nipples.

Parkinson's doesn't care who you are or what you've accomplished. The NYTimes recently profiled Sue Goldie -- Harvard professor, "Genius Grant" recipient, triathelete, PWP.

Goldie is fighting with everything she has. We can learn from her experience.

@HiltonHotels I just got an email from Homewood Suites Galleria in Richmond Heights. They’re overbooked, walking me to another hotel for one night (3 night reservation). No compensation mentioned.

@24HourFitHelp New member here. Hollywood OR location.

I arrived at 5:45am for a 6am cycle class and found the door locked, with about a dozen members hanging out with the instructor in the hallway. Evidently the employee with the key didn’t show up.

Ping pong is beneficial for people with Parkinson’s. Standard play involves two participants and one table. Can it be better with two tables, 8 players, and balls bouncing in all directions?

A group in Colorado is trying this innovative approach.

Do you or a loved one have Parkinson’s disease? What kind of support are you getting from your doctors, hospital or medical group?

Most of us would pay a large sum to someone who could reverse our Parkinson's symptoms. And there are a lot of companies hoping we'll invest our dollars in their proposed solutions.

We're not just patients -- we're prospects.

If you’re wondering how accurate the information on Google’s Bard is, here’s the answer it gave me last night:

I’m not saying it’s icy in Portland, but Tonya Harding just nailed a triple axel in my driveway.

I'm not saying it's icy in Portland, but Oksana Baiul just did a triple salchow on my lawn.

Thinking of all the St. Louisans who burned their Albert Pujols jerseys in 2011.

@mike_weinberg You took a picture and tweeted it to 29,000 followers. Mission accomplished.

[Phil Bernstein @philbernstein]

@LindsaySBaer I just looked again and now it says “clearly favored.” Maybe a technical glitch?

[Phil Bernstein @philbernstein]

Why does the headline now say “favored” rather than “clearly favored?” (As of 10:40am Eastern)

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

So... this is a special morning for our forecast in that there's now no more time until the election. (The model treats Election Day and Election Eve as equivalent to one another.) This has a couple of minor effects.

@LindsaySBaer Makes sense. The essay below the headline still points out the “clearly favored” language — it would benefit from an update/explanation.

[Phil Bernstein @philbernstein]

I've already decided who won the debate.

So have you.
