COLUMBIA — A summer of rain has left its mark on South Carolina, undermining dozens of roads, flooding neighborhoods from the mountains to the coast, and ruining the South Carolina Botanical Gardens.
It may not be over. With soil moisture at near-record levels, emergency officials worry that if a decaying tropical storm moves over the state in the next month and brings more torrential rains, the results could be disastrous.
"The ground cannot take much more rain. But there's really not much we can do except wait and hope for some dry days," said Pickens County Emergency Management Deputy Director Denise Kwiatek.
Parts of Pickens County have received more than 60 inches of rain so far in 2013, which is more than the average rainfall for a year in the area. Nearly half of the state's 46 counties, spread all across South Carolina, have seen at least 40 inches of rain during this period, according to a review of data collected by volunteers for the National Weather Service's Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network program.
The torrential rains in Pickens County caused $200,000 worth of damage earlier this month at the South Carolina Botanical Gardens at Clemson University, garden Director Patrick McMillan said.
About 8 inches of rain fell in about four hours overnight on July 14. Trails were destroyed and plants were swept away by the runoff. The Natural Heritage Garden, with its more than 1,000 varieties of native plants in their natural habitats, is gone. The exhibit had only been open a few months, McMillan said.
The garden is seeking donations to help pay for the damage, which wasn't covered by the university's insurance. McMillan said botanical gardens from across the country have volunteered to send replacement plants.
There was a blessing in the damage, McMillan said. The garden will rebuild with protections against a similar future flood and will educate visitors on how people may need to adapt to extreme weather.
"We've had a 100-year drought, 100-year heat wave and 100-year flood all in the past four years. As climate become more volatile, we're going to try to illustrate the idea that we need to adapt," McMillan said.
Outside of the botanical gardens and a few other pockets of the state, the heavy rains haven't caused major damage. Part of that is because the precipitation has pulled the state out of a long drought. There may be no better spot to illustrate the turnaround than Lake Hartwell in the northwest part of the state.
In August 2008, the lake was at 637.6 feet. Earlier this month, the lake crested a full 27 feet higher at 665 feet, less than 6 inches from the record level set almost 50 years ago.
All that water has to go somewhere, and it is causing a slow moving flood downstream. In Jasper County, the Savannah River is cresting at its highest point in 20 years, chasing people from their homes.
Boats have also become a familiar sight in neighborhoods in Horry County, where the Waccamaw River went over its banks, or in Bamberg, Dorchester and Colleton counties, where the Edisto River is reaching levels not seen in 40 years.
The rains have washed out several roads and caused sinkholes to form on others. The Department of Transportation said about 16 roads across the state remained closed this weekend, including U.S. 178 in Pickens County near the North Carolina state line, where crews expect to spend a month cleaning up a mudslide. Dirt roads in rural areas of the state also remain a mess because they will have to dry out before crews can get equipment out to smooth them over.
Road crews have worked plenty of overtime in the past two weeks hustling out barricades to block flooded roads or doing inspections on bridges after heavy rains, said Brandon Wilson, assistant maintenance engineer for the DOT in four Upstate counties.
"We keep doing the same the thing over again, just in a different place each time we get another storm," Wilson said.
The forecast for the next week or two is similar to conditions all this summer – fast-growing storms with quick bursts of heavy rain, said Mark Malsick, severe weather liaison for the State Climate Office.
"Not everyone is getting it on the same day, but overall, for these two months, everybody has gotten above average rainfall," Malsick said.
That has left soil moisture at near-record levels for this time of year. That means it takes a lot less rain to cause a flood, which could be dangerous as the calendar turns toward August. South Carolina can get dying tropical storms and hurricanes that can bring a foot or more than rain in only a few days.
Lakes, rivers and the ground can't take that type of rain, and catastrophes from inland flooding have happened in the Carolinas before. In 1999, Hurricane Floyd dumped 20 inches of rain on eastern North Carolina, where the ground was already saturated from the rain brought by Hurricane Dennis days earlier. It led to 52 deaths in that state and some $6 billion in damage there.
But it is way too early to know if anything like that might happen this year.
If it does happen, South Carolina's amazing yearly rainfall record of 120.21 inches at Hogback Mountain in Greenville County might be broken. That record was set in 1979 when weakening hurricanes David and Frederick moved over the Upstate, Malsick said.
"The wild card is always tropical season," Malsick said. "We can get one of these things to move through and blow all types of records away."

Combat Zone Wrestling "Tournament of Death 3" July 24, 2004 - Smyrna, DE
This year CZWs annual death match tournament was expanded to 12 of the craziest wrestlers in the world today as it featured wrestlers from CZW, the midwest, and Canada. Fans are calling this CZWs best TOD yet. If you liked the previous TODs, youll love this one. There are way too many crazy highlights to list them all here, but in one of the sickest things ever, Sexxxy Eddy cut an artery in his arm and blood was squirting out like a fountain. Necro Butcher also ended up with several nasty gashes on his chest and back that were extremely deep and he had a huge chunk of his arm hanging out. Very sick footage, not for those with weak stomachs. Highly recommended for any death match fans.

OSCE Guide on Gender Sensitive Labour Migration Policies English
Jan 11 2011
Download right click "save as"
This guide attempts to analyse some of the most pressing gender issues in contemporary labour migration. It seeks to highlight the rationale for including gender-sensitive measures and ways to implement them into the migration policies of countries of origin and destination, as well as in bi- and multilateral agreements. By presenting good practices and providing tools on how to shape migration processes, the Guide aims to assist and encourage OSCE participating States and Partners for Co-operation to enforce current legislation as well as develop and adopt policies and programmes for female migrant workers that are more gender sensitive. In this way, it should encourage migration policies to be formed in a more gender-just way.
This guide is also available in Russian on the website of OSCE.

I'm not the biggest supporter of scalping but I see why people do it. If collector's are stupid enough to pay those ridiculous prices (and I've done it a few times myself) then there's no reason to stop doing it. This Gleek example may be far fetched but it's only a taste of what's to come as SDCC approaches.
thats what im saying! sad thing is.....a lot of scalpers are collectors too.

Roger Bernadina watches his fifth-inning homer clear the fence.
VIERA, Fla. — At various points over the last four seasons, Roger Bernadina has displayed a natural ability and athleticism that gives the Nationals reason to believe he can be a significant producer at the big-league level.
Bernadina, though, has never been able to sustain that level of play for any length of time, forever teasing the Nationals with his skills, but only in spurts.
The 27-year-old outfielder has been at it again the last couple of days. He's homered in back-to-back games and gone a combined 5-for-6 with six RBI and a walk.
One reason for Bernadina's recent surge in power: He's worked with hitting coach Rick Eckstein on staying "inside" the ball and not flyingRead more »

I have always liked Bernadina. Some of his climb-the-wall catches have been unbelievable. It's his hitting that has been so inconsistent. I'm happy to see him becoming more comfortable with his swing and hope his success continues..

Bernadina's going to have a decent year. I have hope in the man that he hits his stride.

I do look forward to a decent year from the Shark. He has played some exciting outfield. Hope he can improve on offense. I will never forget one game against the Mets (last year? 2010?) in which his getting picked off at second base ended the game.
- Jim Webster - Mar 27, 2012 at 12:08 AM
The raves about Bernadina have omitted a brilliant defensive play yesterday – he absolutely nailed a bullet from mid center field to the plate in the third inning, freezing a Mets runner at third.
- sm13 - Mar 27, 2012 at 12:14 AM
Bernadina has always been all about "potential". He's had so many chances to prove himself, but has always managed to disappoint. I'd like to see him succeed, but I don't think we can be patient anymore. If he is in left field to start the season in place of Morse, he needs to prove himself right away — consistent hitting, reliable outfield play, and wise use of his speed on the basepaths. He can be an asset to this team, but he's gotta show that from Day 1.
- Gonat - Mar 27, 2012 at 12:23 AM
One reason for Bernadina's recent surge in power: He's worked with hitting coach Rick Eckstein on staying "inside" the ball and not flying open on his swing."That's been actually the key," he said. "I came off the ball a lot, almost roll over. That's been working well for me right now."_____________________________________________Its a couple of games. This is ridiculous. Do it for a few weeks and I will be a believer and I am a "Shark" guy.I have said before he has more potential than Ankiel.

Felt psychic about Lannan #5 with Det in pen and Wang on DL these past three months and sticking with this psychic prediction:Prediction:Fast forward a few days:OD: Stras puts the screws to the Cubbies and we win 2-1 cobbling together a couple runs.Game 2: Gio tightens up his game and we win 3-2 with Zim going 3 for 4.Game 3: JZimm comes out tough and we power our way to a 2-0 win.Game 4: Jackson pitches ok and we lose.Game 5: Lannan pitches pretty darn well but we get shut out.Remember this prediction all you anons so we can have some fun…Did not envision Werth's homer heard round the world that set off his car alarm.
- Golfersal - Mar 27, 2012 at 12:41 AM
Bernadina reminds me a lot of Justin Maxwell. Gosh they both looked like Gods with great body and lots of potential but Justin was a bust and probably will never be the big leaguer we thought he would be five years ago and the same can be said for Bernadina.Yes he had two great games and is on a roll, but what will we be saying about Bernadina in a week?See him barely making the team, but once Bryce Harper gets it together, Bernadina will be disposed of like yesterdays newspaper.

Watching the Nats Classic from july 2010. Dibble (ugh) is praising Bernadina to high heavens. He is also trashing Tyler Clippard. Clip blew a lot of saves that year, they seem to be showing all of them recently. Dibble and Carpenter are just ranting about Clip's change-up and about how he needs to stay away from the breaking pitch. Why is he throwing that pitch? In hindsight it's interesting to listen to things like this. I think Clip just needed time for his pitching style to develop – now that change- up is devastating to hitters. They talked about how Riggs was trying to stop him from throwing it. Werth is playing for the Phils – and very well, too. It's just kind of strange sometimes to watch and listen to these games and see how things have changed so very much. Of course, Zim hits a walk-off – that never seems to change. Just imagine if the organization had not been patient with Clippard.

Everyone I am certain is hoping Bernadina makes it. He has a lot of flexibility in that he could be at the top of the order if he could continue to walk as he has this spring. Or he could be a #5, #6 hitter. He makes a better choice than Ankiel as a starter for a lot or reasons. But, he's not the best CF. It sure looks to me like the outfield will have a lot of pseudo platoons. Lots of players in and out. Even though Johnson likes a fixed lineup I can't see that with the Nats outfield with the exception of Werth, at least until Morse gets healthy then it will settle down again.
- Anonymous - Mar 27, 2012 at 1:39 AM
If the organization had been more patient with Clippard he might be a dominant starter right now.He still comes apart after 2 or so innings. That seems highly doubtful. He just learned to get out of jams with men on. Before last year he was more effective with the bases empty. The Nats now have plenty of starters and more on the way.
- Theophilus - Mar 27, 2012 at 1:49 AM
Maxwell is out of options and the Nats need a RH-hitting OF. Cheap, and no pain if they had to cut him — again. Keep thinking how long Darnell McDonald spent in the minors.
- Theophilus - Mar 27, 2012 at 2:00 AM
Bernadina has really had plenty of opportunity, including several long stretches in the lineup. And it's probably the third or fourth time the batting coach has straightened out his swing. His Ks are high but not in the Dunn-zone; he doesn't walk very much. He just doesn't seem to (A) find the right pitches to hit; (B) zone in on all the hitting instruction he's been given. Conclusion: it's not his physical skills that are keeping him from reaching his potential. I think his chances of a breakthrough season this year are slim because — unlike the previous two seasons — he's going to be filling in for someone who really needs to be in the lineup if healthy and isn't going to get three or four weeks to demonstrate that he's finally got it figured out and everything under control.Needs to be Langerhans'd.

Huh? That Pujols analogy makes no sense. Clipaprd was a starter, he has well more than 100 minor league starts, they gave up on him as a SP when he was 23 years old. He's great as a relief guy, but he may have gotten it together as a SP.

I'm intrigued by Bernadina and Eckstein's comment re: his swing: "coming off the ball,flying open". I don't know much about the science of hitting, but could this be a "eureka" moment for Bernie? Will we see a newly-created consistent hitter? Or will bad habits re-emerge once the season starts?
- Section 3, My Sofa - Mar 27, 2012 at 1:43 PM
Fast Eddie, it's a fairly common correction, for many (if not all, at one time or another) hitters, so probably not a eureka, but you never know. 90% of this game is half mental, as Yogi said.
- fast eddie - Mar 27, 2012 at 3:12 PM
Section 3:I'm sure Eckstein helps certain players analyze and tweak their swings. Let's hope Bernie improves as a result. To me, there's the danger of over-thinking all the nuances of the swing (think golf). Some of the best hitters subscribe to the theory: "See the ball, hit the ball".

Pretty color!
My sister gave me my first bottle of SEPHORA by OPI Nail Colour in Note to Self. When she saw me wearing it, she wanted it back! It's a really pretty orange. I was never a fan of orange, especially on nails, but this one worked for me. It's not that bold but it's very sparkly. It's like an orange Popsicle or orange soda. It took me 3 coats to get the coverage I wanted but the lasting power was great. I am looking forward to trying out more of these polishes.
I purchased the collection they did for GLEE and I love all the colors. They still chip, as do all polishes I use, because I use my hands all day, but its okay because the colors are so bright and beautiful I don't mind it just gives me a reason to change my nail color every week!

simply glamorous
Sephora by OPI Leotard -optional nail polish is so neutrally chic. Nice consistency which glides on smoothly and color your nails evenly in just one coat. Has a natural shine to it and dries up quickly. Make my fingers look longer and irresistibly clean. For gal on the go.
I've always loved opi (and any excuse to buy a new bold nail color) so i was thrilled to see sephora carrying this! after a few coats it covTers and looks great
Love the formula..
I'm usually not a fan of glitter nail polishes because its always a pain to remove it but I spotted this color and I was in love. Little did I know this color rapidly sold out. I ordered it off line and used it as soon as I received it and it was absolutely amazing. I love using this color to layer. It looks fabulous over Opi's Lincoln Park After Dark. It even looks good on its own. The mixture of different shades of purple with pink iridescence give this polish a gorgeous sparkly look. Removing this color is easy as well which is a major plus for me :)

very cute nail polish...girly for someone that loves Pink..my first time buying it and i love it ! a must have for the summer stands out..look really nice...very satisfide with the product...brand has lots if unique cute colors
Love the colors!
I got a mini set of about 10-20 colors. So far I have tried the Break a leg warmer and I loved it. I can't wait to try the other colors in the pack. I am so happy I got this for Christmas. The colors are just so pretty and I love them. I wish they came in bigger bottles though. Other than that it as fantastic. I would recommend this to anyone with a passion for nail polish.
I had like ten of these! But, I love them and the colors available....I frequently paint my nails and I love nail art, but these didn't last long for me, and they start to get clumpy and thick when you run out!
Perfect for a neutral mani
I was looking for a beige colour for a nude mani I saw on tumblr. When I went to sephora there were three colouyrs similar to this one. Each was a shade darker or lighter. I love that because, not every shade looks good with a certain skin tone. The polish needs to be shaken up quite a bit because, its so thin. But it's lasted me a few weeks with only minor signs of chipping.
I've always loved OPI polishes more than other polishes out there on the market. Despite the higher price point, OPI polish is fast-drying and long-lasting--well worth the extra bucks in my opinion! That, and they have a fantastic line of colors available both seasonally and regularly. I'm a sucker for their special lines, like the country ones they put out a few years ago. But I digress. From the moment I saw the sample bottle of Mermaid to Order at my local Sephora, I knew I had to get this polish. I even went so far as to order it offline while in the store, since the store was sold out. And I have not been disappointed. Like all OPI polishes, this one stands up to a lot of wear. The color is also fantastic! It blends light and dark teal metallic colors, which makes the polish easier to match to other make ups, accessories, or clothing. That quality also makes it so that the color changes in different lights, which is fun. Despite this being a more summery color, you can expect me to be wearing this polish until late into the winter!

Killed, then Sylvanas resurrects him as her new pet.
Killed, then Sylvanas resurrects him as her new pet.
END boss. The final boss always gets retconned, revived, escapes, or otherwise raiders are only also-rans who help kill-stealing NPCs on their quest for vengeance.
Kel'thuzad - Still never destroyed his phylactery, even @ lv70
C'Thun (since Kel'thuzad was redacted) - actually killed by Med'an in the comics
Kil'jaeden - lolnope! Back through the portal he goes. And even if you don't count him, Akama and Maiev took the credit for Illidan.
Lich King - KS'd by Tirion and Shade of Terenas
Deathwing - KS'd by Thrall and Alexstrasza
So yeah, even if Garrosh dies, don't expect the raiders to be the ones who kill him. Kill credit will probably go to Vol'jin or Varian depending on which faction is raiding, and Blizzard will decide which version is canon later (likely Varian, since it seems Alliance characters are always present at the defeat of the end boss).
OMG 13:37 - Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Cleave unto me, and I shall grant to thee the blessing of eternal salvation."
And His disciples said unto Him, "Can we get Kings instead?"
Not excatly. Of course he wants the continent, because he wants new lands for the orcs, not just resources. The situation will never change if the orcs reamin in Durotar, for him, the orcs need a new and rich land. In the end conquering Kalimdor doesn't mean nothing else than kicking the night elves by the continent, as they hold the most beautiful and blooming lands, and the humans of Theramore, in which he almost succeed, because they were the allies and supporters of them, and so an obstacle. And this is the whole reason for which, when Nazgrim said to him of Pandaria, he exploded in anger at the possibility that the Alliance could have reached it first, ready to opposing him again.
A trial would be appropiate for this new Thrall/Vol'jin Horde, even if they ended up killing him. But the game asks for a final boss where the players are needed. Not killing Garrosh (or fighting him until another character kills him) leaves an empty feeling to the raid.
Still, he IS a different kind of villain. He is not super-powerful or a threat to the world. He is dangerous because he uses dangerous artifacts/powers that he doesn't fully understand. But even if the final boss doesn't HAVE to be Garrosh directly, and even if it isn't, his actions deserve punishment. Also, while Blizzard usually leaves several loose ends, they also like to close the main expansion stories by killing the bad guy.
Illidan is dead, Kil'jaeden is alive. Arthas is dead, the Lich King is alive. Deathwing is dead, N'zoth is alive.
Garrosh can die. Garrosh should die. It fits for Garrosh to die. The game needs Garrosh to die, even if the story doesn't.
Retconned, Lothar went down on a one-on-one battle with Doomhammer.
WC2 maps weren't the best storytelling model. Heck, we had to assault the Blackrock Mountain by sea, from south, on the game.

Tell me what he done to gain the title of Overlord and what he done during his time as Overlord. And no, what the others did from him doesn't count.
That's an absolute oversimplistic view of what happen.
"For I believe in my heart that it is not our fate to bow and scrape and sue for peace before the Alliance. It is
our right to dominate and control this land of Kalimdor. It is ours, and we will claim it as such!"
""You respond to this as if the conquest of Theramore were the goal. I tell you now, it is only the
beginning! I do not speak solely of destroying the human foothold in Kalimdor. I speak also, and even more
vigorously, of the night elves. Let them flee to the Eastern Kingdoms as we crush their cities and take their
"The night elves have lived here long enough. Let them now linger only as a bad
memory. It is the Horde's hour to reign on this continent, and reign we shall!"
"The night elves will be gone; the Alliance will be afraid to attack; and Kalimdor will belong to the
Horde. Those will be the consequences, elder."
These are all from page 19-20 of Tides of War. While it's certainly true that it's not purely for domination... it's rather obvious that's the primary goal. All of his talk has one thing in common: Horde dominance. It's not just about resources or land, it's about proving that the Horde is superior.

There was no union, they were just "united" by their common lust for brutality, blood and power.
Plus, they became so powerful because they decided to become the humble slaves and pets of the Burning Legion; they were nothing more than scroungers that defeated an enemy and conquered a world, they had to find a new enemy and a new world for just not destroying themselves, prey of their bloodlust. They were like the Scourge, but with minds and functioning brains, and this is ironically the reason for which they failed to defeat the humans in the end, because of their personal and egoistical goals.
The New Horde indeed is not that powerful because they didn't give themselves to any demon for obtaining awesome powers, they are simply as the Alliance was and is, but with a different mindset of course.

Not even close. A well known gladiator that was looking for supporting from whatever orcish clan was around (Frostwolves and Warsong) and later defeated an old orc that insulted Thrall and the Frostwolves. That old orc was Doomhammer.
Doomhammer was the one that brought the plan, but Thrall was the one that brought the strenght and the numbers. He was already Doomhammer's second-in-command.
Garrosh became Overlord because he was Grom's son, that's it.
Thrall was only well known as a gladiator to humans. The orcs didn't know about it at the time.
Garrosh earned his place as overlord during the Northrend campaign, argue what you saw in quests all you want. Various books and that have said he is a very skilled warrior and tactician so that's the way it is.
Dominion means little else than just submit the Alliance and conquer the lands they hold. All that you quoted is the desire to corner them in their lands, in the Eastern, and be sure that they will never try to threatening the orcs if they are crushed with no spirit or courage to counter-attack.
Doomhammer did.
Wrong, Garrosh was given the position of Overlord just because he was Grom's son. That's the point. He had absolutely no Horde background before Thrall found him in Nagrand. And even in Nagrand it was Saurfang Junior that done all the work.
---------- Post added 2013-05-19 at 08:52 PM ----------
You did brought a good point. Besides Cairne, that we all know what happened, did Garrosh ever won a duel against a major or even minor character?
True, but Thrall and Cairne were the greatest warriors of the Horde. Fighting in a battle, Garrosh is a greatly talented fighter.
---------- Post added 2013-05-19 at 08:56 PM ----------
He was a high ranking orc already, he was the chieftan of the Warsong Clan in Nagrand and before he was made Overlord. He justified his promotion with his success in Northrend.
Well according to Metzen Garrosh was given the titel because Thrall was all "hey you seem like a confident guy, why dont you lead my armies"
What has he done? He established Horde footholds throughout Northrend and eventually pushed to the gates of Icecrown. What others did? You mean the players? If thats the case all NPCs everywhere are just as much of failures as Garrosh.
We have faced trials and danger, threats to our world and our way of life. And yet, we persevere. We are the Horde. We will not let anything break our spirits!"
Yeah so he can drop to the ground and scream for help after he gets stabbed by a random Rogue.. No thanks. If he get's Warchief I'm done with the Horde for good.
On Topic, I hope for Exile or imprisonment, death is so over done and I would love to have a possible reoccurring Villain, eve n if he runs away and starts his own Dark Horde,make him a reoccurring Mini Raid Boss, he can be the new troll Raid every expansion.
pretty much the rule of thumb dealing with your enemies/rivals
You want them to be as weak and pathetic as possible so that when push comes to shove, you can kick their ass
---------- Post added 2013-05-19 at 08:00 PM ----------
Cairne himself described Garrosh as a "striking figure of orcish power, musucalr and proud"
Even when trying to kill him he had a moment of guilt over how Garrosh would be a loss to the Horde "as a fine warrior if nothing else"

There was no Warsong Clan in Nagrand, he was equal among many Mag'har, like Jorin and Dranosh. For some reason Thrall intended to make Dranosh Warchief, and not Garrosh.
He justified his promotion by doing what? I keep reading this but I fail to see it back-upped with sources of his doings.
I think there is only the suggestion in Tides of War that he "held his ground" against Varian this time, compared to Ashenvale, maybe even having the upper hand, but the duel was interrupted again, excatly like in Wolfheart.
My guess is that actually Garrosh is a pretty powerful warrior, still he wasn't in Wotlk/Shattering because he was inexperienced, compared to veterans like Thrall and Cairne.

Resurgent Young to face rookie Ray in finale
Mariners, Tigers to battle with series, playoff position on line
The Mariners' recent surge and victory Friday put them ahead of the stumbling Tigers in the race for the second American League Wild Card for just one day before Detroit's win on Saturday.
The rubber game of this three-game series on Sunday in Detroit will be important for both team's position in the standings.
Seattle did not receive the usual dominant start from Felix Hernandez, but will try to get back on track with right-hander Chris Young, who is building an impressive comeback from several years of shoulder problems.
Young has now won 11 games, equaling his most since 2006 with the Padres, and over his last 11 starts is 6-2 with a 2.67 ERA.
While the Tigers have struggled to score runs against anyone lately, manager Brad Ausmus does not want to point fingers.
"As a group, we haven't scored a bunch of runs lately," Ausmus said. "We have trouble scoring runs. We can't string hits together. So I'm not going to single out one particular player and say that's the reason we're struggling. First of all, it's not true, and it's completely unfair to that player."
Detroit will call on left-hander Robbie Ray, the Tigers' No.2 prospect as ranked by MLB.com. Seattle has struggled mightily against southpaws this season, sporting a .648 OPS against lefties this year.
Ray worked five-plus innings and allowed four runs on six hits in his return to the Tigers' rotation on Tuesday.
Mariners: Cano OK after fouling ball off foot
Robinson Cano was back in the Mariners' lineup on Saturday night, one day after he left Friday's 7-2 win in the eighth inning with a sore right foot.
He fouled a pitch off his foot in the seventh inning Friday and was hobbling around afterword, but manager Lloyd McClendon said his second baseman was good to go.
Cano went 1-for-4 with an RBI in the Mariners' 4-2 loss to Detroit.
Tigers: Veteran reliever Johnson gets call
Two weeks after being released by Oakland, Jim Johnson is headed back to the big leagues. The Tigers announced they will call up the former O's and A's closer from Triple-A Toledo and put him in their bullpen Sunday, trying to add a veteran arm to a late-inning staff that has had its struggles.
Johnson is not expected to reprise the closer's role that earned him back-to-back 50-save seasons the past two years in Baltimore. For now, at least, the Tigers will try to figure out how much Johnson can help them, and where his pitching stands after a rough half-season in Oakland.
Worth noting
• Eleven players have made their Major League debut this year with the Tigers, nine of them pitchers. The latter is the highest total for the Tigers since 2011.

Your Tech Spec and bike Description are confusing along with detail pics. Tech Spec shows Shimano Deore front, rear,shifter and crankset. Bike description says the bike comes with Sram X5 drivetrain and X7 rear derailleur, this is a big difference. I'm interested in the bike if I know what I'm getting without surprises. Also are these 2014 bikes or 2013?

This is a complete Deore build and the tech specs on the right are correct.. I'll get the copy updated.

The idea for this column came from a very heated Twitter debate. Avery heated Twitter debate over this column on Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim. Now for those of you who have no interest in reading about Boeheim, just know that the guy is overrated. That's not just my opinion. The facts back it up. At the same time, the "facts" are of ittle use to Syracuse fans, who wanted to hear no such tomfoolery. Their coach was the greatest thing since sliced bread (which ironically was invented just a few short years before Boeheim showed up at Syracuse), and they refused to hear any opinions to the contrary. Every fact I brought up was shot down, every logical argument I made they altered, and changed to a conversation that suited Boeheim better. The argument, if you can call it that (which you can't, since I was right) hit a crescendo when one Syracuse fan argued with me that Boeheim was unequivocally one of the three best coaches in the sport right now.

Get off the backside of your butt and do SOMETHING for this country. Rip the environmentalists a new body cavity and get our own oil in our system so we can save the 6.1 TRILLION dollars the arabs are going to reap from this latest increase in a barrel of oil. What must we do to heat our homes? Paying more than 3 bucks a gallon for heating oil is ludicrous because our government can't stand up for us. Give more money to the world, The cost of making ethanol is costing more than it's worth in burning in a car. All that's accomplishing is to drive up the cost of food. Nice going, a real snooker job on congress for this fiasco. Go environmentalists and Al Gore, wreck this country as fast as you can.
I think you mean "liberals", not "liberalism". Liberalism is a philosophical ideology that stresses the preservation of human freedoms (i.e. liberties) and promotion of equality, and forms the basis of American democracy and the philosophies of Republicans, Democrats, and Libertarians to name a few.
"Liberal" and "progressive" ideology is strongly pro-democratic and shares the same roots in liberalism as "conservative" ideology, in marked contrast to many unfounded claims that liberal ideology is an offshoot of socialism or fascism (incidentally, socialism and fascism are completely opposed to each other in almost every respect and don't share any philosophical roots).
Just keep in mind that the actions of individuals who are labeled as "conservatives" or "liberals" are not necessarily representative of those political philosophies, so be careful about leveling criticism against a particular political philosophy based upon the actions of a few individuals or even a political party.

Environmentalist, how much are you willing to pay for such a trivial goal when California is alreday the #1 in most taxes (income tax, sales tax, #1 on the west coast for business taxes etc.)
I don't believe in worthless causes and so I don't believe in saving a few bugs, squash them all
Not just protect our wildlife and food supply but also our unborn babies and children…who are contaminated by toxic poisons by many polutions in our environment and food supply chain…humans are part of this fragile eco-system too!

Wouldn't you think that Barack could get back to work in the Senate and do SOMETHING concrete for this country?
He's being paid for this job and doing nothing.
Why can't he pass Kennedy's bill UI extension 2544 (which he cosponsored)?
If he can't get things done in the Senate, don't EVEN make promises for when it's too late!!!!!!!!!!!
Give up a photo op, Barack, and get some work done in the Senate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think some of our Elected Officials are really out of touch with what is going on with the working class these days. Pass the Iraq-Afghanistan war funding, along with the new GI Bill and the Unemployment Extensions. This bill needs to be voted on this week and passed. Your people out here are depending on you.
Senator Boxer, I am Respectfully asking you to use your influence in the Senate and pass the Legislation for the War Funding Supplement, The New GI Bill, Disaster Relief Funds and the Unemployment Extension. Please pass this as is no more additions to it please. I am an Ex-Marine who served Honorably four years. I went and done what ever my Country ask without Question. I have worked Union Construction in the Detroit area for over 20+ years. Times are tough and people who have dedicated themselves to a better life now see it fading away. Please push this Legislation through our Senate as is, so the money can get to Americans who need it badly. Thank You for your time and consideration.
Respectfully and Sincerely,
TimothyYes Pass it to help your Fellow Americans people, not the people that are Killing this Country Like The Princess of OIL you know your Boss the one that has the world in this mess, just look at it just think you helped make it this way are you a proud Republi=cannot's are you a American or not? answer this then is your Boss telling the Truth! ?

American OR not ?Dear Senator Boxer,
I am pleading with you to vote in favor of H.R. 4926, here is my personal reason why:
My first awareness of Longated QT Syndrome (LQTS) or Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in young adults was April 12, 2004. On this day I went into my daughter's bedroom to wake her up for school and found her not breathing. My daughter was in the hospital for 10 days, on life support. The doctors were not sure why this seemingly healthy, 14 year old girl, would just stop breathing. After days of running test after test, a cardiologist was finally able to give us a diagnosis, Long QT syndrome.
What, what is Long QT Syndrome? What were the warning signs my daughter would have had? Why didn't her pediatrician detect this problem at birth? Why, when I took her to the doctor for headaches, dizziness, feeling as though she were going to faint, why didn't they request an EKG, or why didn't I request it? Why, because I was unaware of this silent killer known as Long QT Syndrome.
Olivia had always been an energetic, bright, beautiful child. She was so curious about everything, always wanting excitement and adventure in her life. Olivia was very active as a cheerleader and loved to play basketball. Olivia was very competitive, healthy as can be, so we thought.
April 22, 2004, my 14 year old daughter, Olivia Corinne Hoff, passed away.
As a mother, I am writing this to bring public awareness to our community about LQTS and SCA and the importance of AED'in our local schools.
It was four years April 22, 2008 that my daughter passed away. Not a day goes by that I don't ask myself, Why didn't I know, why didn't I see the warning signs ? If I had, maybe Olivia would be alive today. Unfortunately, for me and my family, our life is forever changed. As a mom, I cannot express the depth of pain in losing a child. When my daughter died, a part of me died too.
I understand that this bill would, among other things, establish a grant program for local education agencies to purchase automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and train school staff to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and correctly use AEDs.
I ask that you please do your part to save lives by doing what you can to see that the Senate passes H.R. 4926. There are many parents grieving for their children and feeling the same pain that I will we will feel for the rest of our lives.
I am a Mom on a Mission to do whatever I can to save the lives or our children. I will not let Olivia's death be in vain. Olivia cannot speak out about LQTS. Olivia cannot ask the Senate to help pass H.R. 4926. I am Olivia's voice. As Olivia's mom, I will continue to do all that I can to honor my daughter's memory, as memories is all I have.
Corinne Ruiz, Olivia's mom
604 Harvest Creek Rd
Bakersfield, CA 93312-4005I sure wish you would do something about the price of oil, you know, say, drill for it; maybe build a refinery. Seems to me that we're paying higher prices for gas because you and others refuse to do anything about it. I'm sick and tired of voting for individuals who put their political careers above the interests of the people. Guess I'll have to see what I can do about that come election day.
Thanks for nothing!

United States Army What's the deal with all of these SEPARATE bills for extending benefits? Our responses are DILUTED on the different bills. When they look for the number of comments, it looks like not many but when they add together the comments for all the UE extension bills introduced, they'd have to RESPOND to us!!!!
2544 is the one that:
- was introduced FIRST
- gives us a $50 increase
- should be pushed for by ALL of us
Make them honor KENNEDY and show empathy for US by passing that bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shame on you, MS. Boxer for voting for H.R. 1424. You have just thumbed your nose at the American people. I encourage all California voters to vote this Senator out as soon as possible. She may not be worried about jobs or our savings in 401k plans but we certainly do. And then to fill this bill with so much pork, give the CEO's a golden umbrella….How dare you.
Dear Senator Boxer:
Please help Hilliary to pass Senate Bill S661, and Rep. Danny Davis HR 2188 both are KINSHIP CAREGIVER SUPPORT ACT. This bill must be for Relative caregivers that took children our of Foster Care and gave them a safe, stable home. Currently it looks like this bill is for Foster Care. WHEN ARE RELATIVE CARE GIVERS THAT ARE NOW GUARDIANS TO THOSE FOSTER CHILDREN GOING TO GET ANY FINANCIAL HELP? ESPECIALLY SENIORS THAT ARE RAISING THEIR RELATIVE'S CHILDRE/GRANDCHILDREN. RETIREMENT FUNDS AND SOCIAL SECURITY ONLY GO SO FAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE RELATIVE CAREGIVER IS IN THEIR LATE 60'S AND THE CHILDREN ARE 7,11 AND 16 YEARS OLD. THE SOONER THIS BILL GETS PASSED WITH THIS IN MIND, THE BETTER.
We spoke with your rep this afternoon at the Anza Community Center. We hope you can help us out.
email@example.com all Senators:
Please do not let Hillary Clinton's S661 die in committee. This is a very important piece of legislature that effects the lives of senior relative care givers. Please make sure it is not just for foster care homes, as most of the bills are, but for all relative caregivers. We need financial help and we need it now.
Thank you
Did you know that the federal government is in a $53 trillion financial hole?
A hole that's growing by $2 trillion to $3 trillion every year? That amounts to a burden of $175,000 on each and every American citizen.These frightening facts are spelled out in detail in "I.O.U.S.A.," a new Sundance-selected documentary that also offers possible solutions. I would strongly urge you to visit www.IOUSATheMovie.com to learn more, and to visit www.PGPF.org to get the full details from the companion "State of the Union's Finances" report.
This film has been called the "Inconvenient Truth" for America's looming fiscal crisis, and with good reason. It directly addresses the four key deficits confronting America: budget, savings, balance of payments/trade, and perhaps most crucial of all, our leadership deficit.
Will you learn the facts about our growing fiscal challenges, or will you wait until crisis hits? What's coming down the pike could make the subprime mortgage problem seem like a speed-bump.Please read the report at www.PGPF.org, please take the time to watch this powerful film, and then please use YOUR power to do something about this problem.

Lupe Fiasco - "The Show Goes On"
Latest News
Filed under:103
Buy the high quality mp3 right now! Thanks for your support! FNF UP!!!
This is NOT worthy of Lasers. I think everybody who likes this song is either a fan of the mainstream, is not a 'TRUE' Lupe fan, or they have been waiting for a single for so long that they're just happy to have something new. Maybe a combination of all of those reasons. I, however, hate the mainstream, I have been a fan of Lupe since the 1st/15th mixtapes, and I am not just happy to have a new single. I was blown away by 'Shining Down' and 'I'm Beamin', but 'The Show Goes On' doesn't even come close to impressing me. I'm just a fan with constructive criticism, and I know that this is nothing close to Lupe's album potential. This song is not worth putting on a real Lupe Fiasco album, let alone being a single. It's probably only good enough to be on 'Friend of the People', if that were ever released. Lupe, you can do much, much better than this, and you know it. I hope this is only a hiccup, because I don't want to be disappointed; especially since we've all been waiting for 2 and a half years for this album. You're better than this single.
Personally, I think Lu killed it on this track. I think the people saying they'd be "disappointed" in LASERS if it's like this song are paying too much attention to the beat of the song. Lu is still Lu with his lyrics, he's preaching the whole idea of the LASERS Manifesto in the song. Again...I love the song, Lu killed it, and is it March 8th yet?
I love Lupe to death, but if this song is any indication of how his album is going to turn out I'll be disappointed. Lupe represents a lot more than all this mainstream crap on the radio, and for his song to sound like he was going for a top 40 hit is disappointing. Rap and pop's greatest enemy is autotune, I hate to see Lupe fall to it.

Your reading is off - I said that including WINE wrapper games in the Humble Bundle will encourage other developers to follow suit, which will lead to less native Linux games being produced as it will encourage more developers to opt instead for half-measures thinking that Linux users will pay for these "ports" anyway just for the sake of running it on Linux.
I never necessarily said that Humble Bundle or LIMBO were conning Linux users (though the state of LIMBO should have been made more clear), I was stating it sets a bad precedent. You should also notice that I said you should buy the Bundle to support the other developers (I am a big fan of Frictional's games, for instance, and would not want to hurt them) and even the Bundle guys themselves, and noted that you can give LIMBO what you feel is a fair amount of money when doing your purchase.
I am not attacking anyone - I am attacking a potential outcome. My writing was actually fairly clear on that.

Prayers for "Pirate Jacob" Now in Heaven
My brave little nephew, Jacob, died just before midnight...He was just 6 and a half, and battled the same kind of brain cancer as his uncle and grandma, my late husband, Joe, and his mother, Rita. Three generations of angels now gathered together in God's presence.
As some of you know, Jacob battled brain tumors since he was one; his greatest desire as a first-grader was to have his Pirate birthday party with all his family and pals. The weekend before CM Phoenix, we all met and gave him that "early" party. God bless all of you at Phoenix, who prayed with me and helped to carry me with "strength for the journey", knowing that it brought back old sorrows...
Please pray for the repose of his soul, and for the rest of our family, especially his parents John and Sandy, and his siblings, Blake and Annie.
