Paparazzi aren't the only thing haunting these celebrities. Take a look inside five of Hollywood's scariest homes.
The LaLaurie Mansion, said to be one of the most-haunted houses in New Orleans, was owned by actor Nicolas Cage from 2006 to 2009. This home's horror stories start in the 1830s with the LaLaurie family, who brutally abused slaves in the residence for many generations. After the family fled the city, the mansion remained unoccupied for many years, with its few tenants reporting mysterious screams and strange noises. During Nicolas' ownership of the LaLaurie Mansion, the National Treasure star had guests over for dinner but was too spooked to sleep in the home.

Otosclerosis occurs when abnormal new bone forms in the inner ear. This growth prevents proper functioning of other ear structures. This condition is a common cause of hearing loss.
Risk Factors
Otosclerosis is more common in Caucasians, Asians, females, and in people in their teens through late 40s. Other factors that increase chance of otosclerosis include:
- Family history of otosclerosis
- Drinking nonfluoridated water—some studies suggest that nonfluoridated water may cause a susceptible person to develop otosclerosis
- Hormonal factors, such as pregnancy
- Viral infections, including measles
Gradual hearing loss is the main symptom of otosclerosis. Hearing loss may be of two types:
- Conductive—involving the small bones of the inner ear
- Sensorineural—involving the cochlea, which is the sensory organ in the inner ear
Early in the disease, you may first notice trouble hearing low-pitched sounds or whispers. Other symptoms may include:
- A sensation of spinning
- Balance problems
- A sensation of ringing, roaring, or buzzing in the ear
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your ears may be tested. This can be done with a hearing test.
Images may be taken of your ear. This can be done with:
Treatments may include:
Hearing Aid
Hearing aids may be effective for conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.
In many cases, a procedure called a stapedectomy may improve hearing. The purpose of this operation is to replace the diseased bone with an artificial device that can transmit sound waves to the inner ear. Stapedectomy is effective and frequently returns hearing to a near normal level.
Oral Treatment
Fluoride tablets are sometimes prescribed to stabilize the condition and prevent further sensorineural hearing loss. However, this treatment remains controversial and unproven.

We, both in the church and in broader society, need to think carefully together about how new technology should be used, even as we give thanks for the fruitfulness of modern science, medicine, and technology.

We, both in the church and in broader society, need to think carefully together about how new technology should be used, even as we give thanks for the fruitfulness of modern science, medicine, and technology.
Is Christianity anti-science? Can Christians be good scientists? Is science the only source of true knowledge? Pastor Dave Gustavsen of Jacksonville Chapel addresses these issues.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
President Haarsma reflects on our big interview with Bill Nye, and explains how it relates to our mission.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
Ted Davis traces the interesting (and often disturbing) history of how Christians have used evolutionary science to justify un-Christian views, and makes some suggestions about a better relationship between science and Christian faith.
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
This week in our Origins News Roundup: News of new nucleobases, the future of synthetic biology, and some healthy dialogue and critique of certain aspects of modern science.
Today's Origins News Roundup features a tour of trending topics in neuroscience, from commentaries and questions made recently by popular media to developments in neuroengineering and the BRAIN initiative.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".

Vinod grew up dreaming of being an entrepreneur. He was raised in an Indian Army household with no business or technology connections. When, at age 16, he first heard about Intel, he dreamt of starting his own technology company. Upon graduating with a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, he tried to start a soy milk company to service the many people in India who did not have refrigerators.

Questions & Answers
Low Price Guarantee
Providing the absolute best in protection, feel and support, the Sidi Crossfire remains unchallenged as the finest off road motorcycle boot available. With features like a unique dual flex system, cam-lock buckle closure and fully replaceable soles, the Crossfire SRS is designed to give you the most comfortable and progressive riding experience possible.
The Sidi SR, or "sole replacement system", is the markets only fully replaceable sole via a standard screw driver and the SR quarter turn screws. This patented sole replacement system has the extra technical feature of being able to better distribute loads from the footpeg fully across the sole. While the SR sole has a stiffer feel than the TA sole (or other companies sewn on soles) it has the added benefit of presenting a smaller footprint than traditional sewn on soles thus offering less of a "target" during on track encounters or hidden stumps in the brush.
Allows for easy movement forward and backward but is extremely strong side to side giving the rider the finest in ankle protection and long lasting comfort. The hinged, dual position, stitch-free upper is constructed from injection-molded plastic. With the exclusive Dual Flex system and the four floating, independent straps the Crossfire can provide each rider with a personal fit no matter his body shape or if he uses knee braces or not.
Sidi's exclusive, patented, adjustable calf system allows the rider to adjust the diameter of the Crossfire boot at the calf. This system, along with longer upper straps, allows the Crossfire boot to accommodate riders with larger calves easier than any other boot now available. The Crossfire can ccommodate riders with up to a 22-inch calf diameter 14 inches above from the bottom of their heel. The inner plastic plate is made of two different materials; a rigid one to support the boot and a heat resistant one to protect the rider's leg from exhaust heat. All components of this system are fully replaceable and are available in a wide variety of colors.
Three extended ribs are featured at the back of the boot to assist the rider in making upshifts with his heel when starting a race. Rigid, shock resistant, anatomically shaped heel for maximum protection.
Sidi boots do not incorporate inner booties into their design, and for good reason. Booties make the design larger and cumbersome; add to the boot's thickness, which interferes with shifting, plus the inner booties retain body heat affecting the rider's performance and comfort.
Sidi's exclusive cam-lock buckle system is acknowledged as the finest system on the planet. It must be as most of Sidi's competitors have attempted to copy various aspects of it. The cam-lock buckle system incorporates a strap memory retention system. Adjust the straps once and they will be at the same position for every ride after that!
The tip of the toe is covered with plastic to protect the base material and seams against abrasion from brush etc. Plastic shift and brake lever guards on the top of each foot area.
Each Sidi boot is equipped with an anti-heat undressed leather protection panel at the same height of most motorcycle's exhaust heat shields.
A cushioned liner is provided that can be removed if the rider desires a more roomy fit. Sidi does not use steel shanks riveted to its insole like most manufactures, details such as this enable Sidi boots to enjoy a multi year service life versus the competitors multi month lifespan as over time, a steel shank can deteriorate, rust and fracture exposing the rider to injury.
Outer is fully constructed with Lorica a composite micro fiber material created from strands less than one thousandth the thickness of silk. When injected with special resins, these fibers act like natural leather skin, but with the addition of better strength, softer texture, lighter weight and better moisture protection.
Cambrelle is a lining that, due to its particular polyimide structure, guarantees a rapid drying rate after the boot gets wet or sweaty. This prevents the onset of mold forming which extends the boots lifespan dramatically. The Teflon treated mesh panels in the rear calf area of the boot allow humidity to escape while the boot is in use.

passed out + flipped ear |
bad to the bone. |
And in case anyone is well-versed in Pittsburgh football, yes, he is named after Jerome "the Bus" Bettis (one of Eric's idols).
passed out + flipped ear |
bad to the bone. |
He is so cute!!
He reminds me of my parents' pugs...I think it's got to be the adorably squished face... :)
Awww, so cute! I think dogs (and people for that matter) look precious when they're sleeping.
White gold peacock necklace giveaway: http://www.theredtrousers.com/2012/07/prints-genies-gladiators-and-giveaway.html
He is the most adorable puppy EVER!!!! AHHHH!!!! :D
You are quite the lucky gal! I've begged my mom for an english bull dog for the duration of high school, but I never got one. Recently, I just learned that my boyfriend hates them, so I may NEVER have one! I guess I'll live vicariously through your pictures. What a cutie the pup is :)
OMG such a cutiepie! Can't wait to see more pics of him. :)
Keep calm and carry lipstick.
@Anon - we got Jerome from a reputable breeder a few hours outside Chicago (the breeder required us meeting her before considering letting get him, which is awesome); while I 100% support adopting (my sister adopted her dog from a rescue), english bulldogs are difficult to rescue in Chicago as CEBR (as it's called) generally requires prior english bulldog experience as a pre-req (they are a high maintenance breed). Once I learn more about this breed (from raising Jerome) I would love to rescue/save one from CEBR! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That is one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen. I want him! I think I speak for everyone else when I say that we will gladly accept seeing more pics of your baby on your blog.
What a cutie!

Craig Ringer top 0.12% this year
I'm a PostgreSQL admin/developer, sysadmin, multi-language programmer (lately mostly Java and Java EE, previously C, C++, Python and good old bash) and general IT JOAT.
I work for 2nd Quadrant, a global PostgreSQL consultancy.
I maintain a technical blog at blog.ringerc.id.au. My PostgreSQL writing now appears on the 2nd quadrant blog.
I'll work in most programming languages with varying degrees of competence, though I'll only reluctantly touch PHP or Perl code. I'm more interested in the libraries, tools, and the code that's built on top of the language.
Most of my scrap code lives on https://github.com/ringerc . Most of my open source code is in the form of scattered patches across too many different bugzillas and JIRAs, rather than single new projects. Over time I've done a lot of work on Scribus and PoDoFo, but have moved away from both projects as my focus and interests changed. I contribute patches - rather infrequently - to PostgreSQL and to various Java EE 6 infrastructure components. Most of my contribution is now non-code, in the form of:
- Detailed bug reporting with test cases, which I spend an unpleasant proportion of my development time preparing and submitting, mostly against JBoss and java.net projects.
- User support for PostgreSQL on mailing lists and here on SE
- PostgreSQL patch review and beta testing
- Usability review of Java EE libs/tools, as well as usability review of PostgreSQL and its tools
- Writing, editing and enhancing documentation, HOWTOs, etc
- Blogging in detail on topics likely to be useful to others.
I've turned into a git fiend and no longer understand why anybody uses anything else. I'm also becoming increasingly obsessive about testing, particularly with the advent of Jenkins CI and Arquillian.

I have a decidedly dumb house.
Don't get me wrong, I love my home. It's well insulated, quiet and comfortable.
And it's not like I'm living in the Dark Ages. I have energy-efficient bulbs -- even a handful of the new LED ones -- in nearly every socket. I've got a pricey and sleek late-model Bosch refrigerator. And, of course, I have all kinds of connected gadgets.
But my home is simply not smart. It doesn't know when I'm home, doesn't allow me to remotely adjust my lighting or my thermostat and certainly doesn't tell me when I haven't locked my doors.
My refrigerator doesn't tell me when I'm out of milk, and I can't turn on my washer from my living room. And you can forget about having my house coordinate anything like adjusting the temperature, unlocking the doors and opening the garage when I come home at night.
Nor did I expect anything different. Dating to 1953, my house was built before "The Jetsons," much less the latest in home automation technology.
But I do hope to make my house smarter. My wife and I both frequently forget whether we've locked doors or closed the garage. It would be great to have a system that told us.
As the person in our house whose job it is to check the house before we go to sleep, I'd also love to have a nighttime "shut down" button that secures all the doors and turns off all the lights at once. And with my oldest kid's teenage years in sight, I'd love to have a system that will alert me if he hasn't arrived home by a certain time -- without me having to stay up and wait for him.
With the latest home automation technology, our house could do all this and more. But smart-home technology still has a way to go before its really ready for our home -- and we're ready for it.
I recently took a step to make our house a bit smarter, installing a security camera system. But it's been a decidedly mixed experience.
The new cameras are reassuring. We now have a much better sense of what's going on at our house when we're not around.
But I'm not sure how much smarter the cameras have made me or my house. Thanks to them, I now know when the stray cats wander by in the middle of the night, when the mail carrier comes to my house each day and when my wife takes the dog out -- each time she does it.
Also thanks to the cameras, my wife found out, while at her office, that I had gotten flowers delivered to the house for Valentine's Day. It kind of spoiled the surprise, but at least she knew I was thinking about her.
I'm hoping to add other home automation features. But the costs and limitations of the services have given me pause.
Yes, you can get a basic home automation system for as little as $200, but it frequently involves a long-term contract -- or a lot of self-configuration. And the basic systems typically don't include the features that are most important to me.
Indeed, the automated locks that I'd like to get for our house can cost more than $200 a pop -- and that's not including the cost of a gateway device that would allow me to connect to them over the Internet or the potential subscription costs of a service that would allow me to do that.
I'm also wary of being locked into any particular technology or service provider, especially given how young the industry is. I don't want to invest in a home automation system only to find out in a couple years that I can't upgrade it because it's become obsolete.
Unfortunately, if you want an easy-to-use system, you typically have to commit to a provider and the technology it supports. And that technology often isn't interoperable. Comcast's home automation system communicates via the ZigBee wireless standard, while ADT's system uses Z-Wave, a similar but incompatible technology. The difference means that if you tried to switch from one provider to the other, you likely would need to get all new equipment.
To be sure, things have gotten a lot better in recent years. The systems are much less expensive, far easier to install and, because you can interact with them using a smartphone, more useful.
But while I appreciate how for the technology has come, I may put up with my dumb house for a while longer -- at least until the offerings and technology get a little smarter.

The Make It In Great Britain campaign calls upon individuals, businesses and media to get behind British manufacturing and challenge the misconception that "Britain doesn't build anything anymore" – an outdated view that restricts investment, finance and recruitment to one of the country's most vital sectors.
Business Minister Mark Prisk said, "The outdated perception of the manufacturing industry does not match the reality of today. Make it in Great Britain is all about encouraging support for the sector, dispelling myths and encouraging greater interest in industry by young people and investors.
"David Hewitt has a wealth of experience and knowledge of the modern manufacturing environment, making him best placed to spread the good news we have to tell. That is why I want industry champions like David to generate excitement and interest amongst our young people and future workforce".
David Hewitt joins 29 other experienced executives, from some of Britain's most successful and reputable companies, in promoting the government-backed campaign.
Group Lotus is one of just four automotive enterprises represented, the others being the Williams F1 Team, Jaguar Land Rover, Ford and Nissan.
Group Lotus is at the forefront of Britain's high-tech and automotive engineering industries. Since the first Lotus car was built in 1948, the Lotus brand has been synonymous with innovation, style, and success on and off the race track. With five exciting new models in the pipeline and £509 million pounds planned investment at its factory in Hethel, Norfolk, over the next five years, Lotus is a proud British company with a strong future.
"Britain is a nation of innovators," explains David Hewitt. "Just look at all the brilliant products and inventions that have originated right here in the UK.
"Lotus is a great British company with a rightful place among the very best our country offers in both manufacturing and engineering," Hewitt continues. "I want to show that British manufacturing can be an exciting, challenging and rewarding place to be."

Ms. CarneyHairDark BrownRelaxed HairLove ItThis is a really great oil sheen. It is very light weight and does not leave your hair greasy. I would recommend this product to anyone (especially women of color).

JoeyHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairStiff And Greasy Looking/feeling HairI wasn't satisfied with CHI Shine Infusion Thermal Polishing Spray because it weighed down my hair and made it very stiff and greasy looking no matter how little I used or how far away I held the can. It smells like a mixture of CHI's signature "Infra" line scent and a sort of rubbery/plastic scent. And that's kind of what it makes your hair look like too....like shiny plastic. (shiny in a bad/fake way)
I HIGHLY reccomend Aquage Beyond Shine. I LOVE that stuff. It gives really natural beautiful shine and smoothness and really helps with flat ironing.posted Sep 10, 2010Link to this post -
AnnaReally Better Than What I Thought!This nakes my hair look shinier and silkier and my hair is softer. I like the fact that this also helps with split ends and it really helped my split ends alot. My hair doesnt look that frizzy anymore.And its also a really good heat protector. And it smells good.posted Jun 27, 2010Link to this post
KelWatsonville, CAHappy With ThisI use this almost everyday for shine and heat protectant before blow drying or flat ironing. Happy with the results, my hair looks shinier and smells good too, thanksposted Jun 16, 2010Link to this post
Cheryl R.ST. Louis MOBest Product On The Market!The BEST product on the market! I have very thick, curly hair that I flat iron everyday. After blow drying, I spray this on my hair and let it settle in before putting a flat iron to it. Then after I section off my hair, I lightly spray the longer areas that I want to lie flat. When finished, my hair is shiny (NOT GREASY) and not frizzy.
**I went to buy another can today and I believe that it has a new label that reads Shine Infusion Hair Shine Spray instead of Shine Infusion Thermal polishing spray. I am certain of this b/c the new label has the same UPC as the old label.posted Mar 27, 2010Link to this post -

AngelPhilly, Pa USALove ItI love this stuff. It leaves your hair soft & silky! it is worth the money!posted Feb 22, 2010Link to this post
LilyLos Angeles, CALove This ProductDoes not weigh your hair down or make it feel heavy. I have Black/African American hair + a chemical relaxer, so I usually bump out my hair with a flat iron after drying it. This would be a GREAT product for any type of hair, especially if you flat iron often. This spray helps keep my hair shiny, smooth, and bouncy, without that gross "hair greased" look. The spray does have a slight musky scent, but it fades quickly after a few minutes.posted Nov 28, 2009Link to this post
NatalieNorth CarolinaNot What I Expected.It was BETTER. For some reason, i thought this would come on like a hair spray, but it doesnt, it actually comes out more like an oil sheen. It has an interesting smell, like all the CHI products ive used, but i always like the way they smell. Whenever i hug someone, they always tell me i smell good, and i never wear perfume, i just always have CHI products in my hair:) It does make your hair very soft and shiny. the way i use it: I section my hair. I spray the Shine infusion in my hair. in a half circle swoop motion. I brush my hair before i put the flat iron to it, and TADDAAA! beautiful hair. But i should prob also mention that i use CHI kertain mist (right after i wash my hair when its wet) CHI silk infusion (when my hair is damp) and then riiight before i flat iron it i use this product (the CHI shine infusion) and then i finish it all up with a dab of CHI silk infusion for a nice finished look. So you should keep that in mind. I didnt get the awesome results by just using one product...posted Sep 28, 2009Link to this post
LaughfyEast St.Louis ILHairAfrican AmericanShine On! ! ! !Im an African American woman.This stuff is great! I sprayed the chi shine thru out my hair after blow dry n and and flat iron my hair with a ceramic iron and bling!!! MY HAIR WAS RADIANT!I put a hair color n my hair and thought it did'nt take but after using the chi shine the color was glowing and brought it out.It looked like natural high lights and especially in the sun light. I only had to use it once and the shine lasted for a week.My hair was still fluffy and bouncy and full of shine!!!I was impressed and pleased with the results!!!posted Sep 26, 2009Link to this post

ONLINE EXCLUSIVE: Q & A with Rick Weiland
J.S.: What is the role of the Federal government?R. W.: I've always believed that the federal government provides a good check and balance and makes sure that we have free enterprise and not rigged enterprise. It's really the only tool every day citizens have to sort of hold on to – big oil, big bank, big entities that are so powerful that the average citizens doesn't even have a chance. It's never been so bad that this whole idea of "take it back" I think resonates. I do think that some of that message has been co-opted (by some those who say) government is the enemy and we need to rip it into little pieces and shred it. But the fact of the matter is it's the only tool the little guy has to make sure that government works for them.J.S.: What's the biggest concern facing rural states like South Dakota, and can anything be done in Washington to address it?R.W.: One of our greatest exports has been our kids. Creating more opportunity for the next generation to be able to stay here and find good jobs and be productive – that always concerns me when we export our young people out of South Dakota. I also think agriculture, which is on the up right now, is really still our life blood in South Dakota, and we need to make sure that we've got a farm bill that works for our producers here and that's not co-opted by big ag, which I think has a real tendency to have its way in Washington D.C. Nothing has really changed, in my perspective, on family farms. I think South Dakota needs a really strong voice in Washington there protecting our agricultural base.J.S.: Farm Bill – should the Food Stamp program be tied to it?R.W.: I don't know that that's such a good deal. I was OK with the Senate bill. There were some cuts in the stamp program, which I think was a compromise to get the thing passed. I think the House should have accepted that, and we should have a Farm Bill. Separating them, I don't know what that does to the Food Stamp program. We're still coming out of a recession, and we have a lot of people who are unemployed and hungry. About 100,000 people in our state go to bed hungry every night. That's one in nine people. There's something wrong with that. I know that program grew, and there's a lot of concern about our budget and the pull-down that that program has on it. But we are coming out of one of the greatest recessions that we've experiences since the Great Depression. There's still a lot of unemployment. There are hungry people and those programs are there to take care of them. Should people have to work for it? I have no problem with that. If we can put them to work for some of those benefits then we need to do that, but separating the two, will see what happens now with the Food Stamp program. That would not have been my preferred approach.

Danks aims to limit Tigers' offensive firepower
Left-hander opposes Sanchez; Detroit seeks fourth straight win
Though the White Sox caught Detroit on Tuesday without Miguel Cabrera in the lineup, the Tigers proved their lineup is still potent even when the most dangerous hitter in baseball is sitting in the dugout.
Jhonny Peralta and Hernan Perez both had two hits and two RBIs and Victor Martinez added a double during Detroit's 6-2 win, the club's third straight victory. After dropping two in a row, the White Sox need to win Wednesday to keep the possibility of a four-game split alive. They'll send John Danks (2-7, 4.52 ERA) to the mound, opposite Detroit's Anibal Sanchez (7-7, 2.85 ERA).
Danks owns a 3.06 ERA and 0.82 WHIP in five starts at U.S. Cellular Field this season, though the left-hander has been knocked around by Detroit in past outings. Across 16 career appearances against the Tigers, Danks has accumulated a 5.36 ERA while witnessing firsthand what sort of problems they can present.
"I don't have the stuff to go out there and punch out everybody, and I certainly can't beat myself," Danks said. "I can't be walking people. I've got to make them earn their way on, but with that said, you've got to be smart about it, too. You can get burned pretty quick by this lineup. So, we're going to be aggressive, but try to be as smart and efficient as possible."
In 19 July contests, Martinez is batting .416 (32-for-77) with nine doubles, two homers, 14 RBIs and 12 runs scored. He leads the American League with 32 hits during the month.
"I think he's really concentrated on seeing the ball better and that's obvious because he's not swinging at nearly as many bad pitches," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "He's getting in the strike zone and when he does that, he's a great hitter. There's no question about it."
Tigers: Miggy absent for second time all season
Tuesday's game was just the second contest this season in which Cabrera did not play. He left during the fifth inning on Monday, aggravating a sore left hip flexor muscle while scoring on a single by Martinez. Leyland did not comment on the possibility of Cabrera going on the disabled list or the club's concern moving forward.
"It felt weird," Cabrera said Monday. "It felt real weird. That base hit that Victor had, I tried to pick it up a little bit from second to home. That's why I had to go out."
Cabrera, last year's American League Most Valuable Player, leads the Major Leagues with a .358 batting average and ranks second in the AL with 31 homers and 96 RBIs.
"He's the MVP, and we need him out there if we're going to win this AL Central," right-hander Max Scherzer said. "Because if not, the Indians are very good and they can chase us down. No matter what the situation is, we gotta play our best baseball in the second half."
White Sox: Crain making progress in recovery
Reliever Jesse Crain, a first-time All-Star who was placed on the disabled list retroactive to June 30 with a right shoulder strain, threw off the mound Tuesday and, after a scheduled side session on Thursday, could return to game action as early as Sunday.
"His health is still our foremost thing in our mind to make sure he is well," Don Cooper, the White Sox pitching coach, said Tuesday. "We want to do it to the point where he's maybe a tad fatigued, making sure you've got that good workout in and feel good before, during and after. Now we're waiting on the after, which is tomorrow."
Crain threw just fastballs and changeups on Tuesday. He'll have to prove that he can throw breaking balls before returning to the White Sox. Over 38 games, Crain has a 0.74 ERA and 46 strikeouts across 36 2/3 innings.
Worth noting
• The White Sox committed four errors in Tuesday's defeat, giving themselves 68 on the season. Among AL teams, only the Angels and Astros have more.
• The Tigers (55-44) lead the American League Central. Chicago (39-58) is in last place, 15 games back.
• Detroit is 3-2 against the White Sox in 2013 and has taken 34 of the 47 most recent meetings, dating back to 2010.
