life: In honor of the idea of Daylight Savings Time — a practice that, in effect, adds a bit more daylight into most everyone’s routine — and fully aware that the true nature of time remains, and will likely always remain, an unknowable mystery, LIFE.com offers a selection of marvelous photographs, stroboscopic and otherwise, by the great Gjon Mili.  Here are technically brilliant pictures that fiddle with moments, junctures, sequences — and in the process offer a playful commentary on the slippery relationship between mere mortals and the temporal. Pictured: New York Giants pitcher Carl Hubbell throws a curve ball, 1940.

mightyflynn: Harry Wendelstedt, who was an umpire in five World Series during a 33-year major league career and who taught hundreds of aspiring professional umpires at his Florida school, died on Friday in Daytona Beach, not far from Ormond Beach, where the school is based and where he lived. He was 73. - Bruce Weber, New York Times (1984 photo by Phil Velasquez)
