IRVING, Texas -- Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate was fined $21,000 for a blindside block on Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee, a source said.
Tate was not penalized for the hit, a crackback block that occurred when Lee was in pursuit of scrambling Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson. However, Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones said after his team's 27-7 loss Sunday that he expected Tate to be fined for the play.
In a radio interview with KJR-AM in Seattle on Wednesday, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Tate was fined and intends to appeal.
Tate launched himself into Lee, striking him in the chest and chin with the crown of his helmet. Lee, who landed on his back with his feet in the air, was evaluated for a concussion and returned to the game later that series.
The hit was illegal because Lee was considered a defenseless player since he couldn't see the blow coming.
"I knew that I didn't hit him in his helmet," Tate said after the game. "I hit him somewhere down here [at chest level]. But the rules change so much that you never really know."
The Cowboys were bothered by Tate celebrating the hit by strutting and flexing his muscles while Lee was still on the ground, although Lee called that kind of hit part of the game.
"Crackback hits, that's not a definition of toughness," Lee said Wednesday. "A definition of toughness is hitting, squaring up, being able to do your job as hard as you can every single play. That's at least what I believe. Anybody can crackback block."

Ticking off
Charlotte Uhlenbroek tells Jonathan Scott how chimps react to her and other researchers. The chimps seem to be aware that researchers are creatures in the forest who spend a lot of time following them around, yet they treat them as part of the furniture. She thinks that chimps probably considers the researchers to be really boring with nothing better to do than traipse about after them, gazing at them. As far as they are concerned, the researchers never eat, sleep, or do anything interesting. The chimps probably feel sorry for them. Charlotte and Jonathan watch as a chain of chimps begin grooming each other, removing the ticks that come out of the grass and into their long hair. The grooming has two functions: it helps individuals to bond but it also keep their skin clean. If a chimp has been away from the group for a while it may get lots of ticks and the rest of the chimps will be quite eager to groom it because it is carrying quite a big meal. The chimps have a prehensile lower lip for picking off the ticks, and they also have big canines which they rarely use. But if they do have a big battle they can inflict some horrendous wounds on each other.

On the right day, if a week or two late. You can blame Kristen. He's been sunning himself on some tropical island while I've been snowed into my flat. The world's a very unfair place. That's all I can say.
Back to beer. Beer recipes to be exact. You may remember we were part way through a series of Younger's No. 1's and No. 3's. We're going to split the difference today and go with a No. 2 instead. We're doing it to demonstrate these beers belonged to a larger set. Sorry, that's a slight proof improvement. Kristen couldn't find a No. 1 in the 1868 set that I sent him.
I can hear your question: "What's a number two, Ron?" I could easily come up with a pathetic joke in reply. But I'm too mature for that sort of thing. Oh yes. I'm going to give you a serious adult answer. It comes between No. 1 and No. 3.
Bass also brewed a set of numbered beers, 1 to 7 in their case. And, like at Younger, No. 2 seems to have lived in the shadow of his big brother, No. 1. I've only ever found a couple of trade references to Bass No. 2. None that I can recall for Younger No. 2. Especially in the case of Younger's, punters either went 1 or 3. Both beers survived well past WW II (No. 3 still exists). I'm not even sure No. 2 scraped into the 20th century.
So what was No. 2? Barley Wine Light. Or Ordinary Barley Wine to No. 1's Best Barley Wine. I'm just making this up, as you might have guessed. These beers don't fit neatly into any modern style straightjacket. You can try hammering them in, but they'll only spring out again. Strong ale, Edinburgh Ale or Scotch Ale is how it would have been marketed at the time.
I realise it's probably not worth mentioning, but notice the typical Scottish characteristics of this beer: the virtual total lack of hops, the 7-hour boil and the freezing fermentation temperature. Yes, it has none of those. Because it's a real Scottish beer, brewed in Scotland.
Kristen time . . . . . . . . .
Kristen's Version:
See Youngers 1868 No3 for instructions.
Note – the only big difference in this one is the hops. Make sure you get proper spalter and not Spalt select which is not the same thing. Breed from a different lineage and such. You may also make this 100% Spalt if you like as the AA% between Spalt and Fuggle aren't that far off. You can use really any German noble hop in the place of Spalt but the outcome will be pretty different. Just make sure and use fresh hops whatever you do.

Ainur Regional Message Board
Very well. Our military analysts will be doing extensive testing on a few of these NEMESIS frames. The general consensus so far (based off current data) is that they will still have good use, even if humid air adds partially to earlier equipment failure. On a somewhat related note, what is your refund policy? We probably won't even have to consider it, but it is better to know ahead of time.
As for transport, your aversion to having missile and gun-laden foreign fighters in your airspace is understandable. Your staunch neutrality, while usually admirable, is giving some of our more black-and-white seeing military personnel headaches. They make the reasonable assumption that, since you are selling us what we consider to be quite advanced weapons, you would be considered a moderate ADDO ally and could be interacted with as such, and that interaction includes the assumption that you would not having a problem with another ADDO member flying a small escort in your airspace. Our foreign analysts know this is not correct, and we will consider that more so in the future. Regardless, your alternative arrangements seem to fit our tight security requirements. We're currently diverting the TSS Aegir Carrier Strike Group from the newly re-organized Second Fleet to facilitate these needs. While this special mobilization will unfortunately take a few days to properly set up, this will be ideal, as it gives enough time for your technicians to set up shop in Jacinta and for your people to better prepare the NEMESIS exoskeletons for transport and transfer.
As for the travel arrangements of your technicians, we suppose this is okay, but we will need to be able to keep close tabs on them as they make their way to the laboratories in Jacinta. If you could send us a detailed citizen profile and flight information, the Marines could take care of ground security and it would help to insulate our operation from espionage and corruption.
I looked at the World Census Report and I was like: "holy crap I'm #40!" Th3n I looked closer and realized it was rating the stupidest citizens...Dammit
We refund 80% within 6 months, and 50% if it's within 2 years. Normally we also cover damage due to shipping by providing parts and labor, but since you're handling shipment rather than our trusted shipping service, you'll still have to pay parts, albeit at a 50% knockdown. The techs we're sending over should be able to handle any repairs necessary if damage does arise during the shipping.
As for your general staff (assuming it's them), the logic there is simple. Sure, we're selling you these frames, but we're also selling them to anyone else who's interested and not viewed as a threat to regional stability. Note that Vanquaria, which at least seems aligned with FLOAT, has taken receipt of a large purchase of weapons, as well as 30 of our civilian-market HERCULES exoskeletons. We're happy to be buddy-buddy with anyone, so long as we can be just as buddy-buddy with everyone else.
The frames should be ready within 3 days, and will be delivered to Dodona AFB within 5. That's the closest base we have to the coast, so hopefully your pilots won't get too anxious waiting for their turn to take over guard duty.
The techs and trainers are all booked on the BPA 803 flight to Farbanti in two days. My people will forward you their dossiers. That said, I wouldn't be too worried about espionage or corruption; the only secrets here are in terms of production, so you're pretty clear on your end. Unless you're trying to keep this a secret purchase so your capabilities are unknown, in which case talking about this in a regional forum probably wasn't the brightest idea on either of our parts.
The refund system seems fair, and our staff understands now. Well, the foreign affairs staff and the Unified Heads of State always understood. The military tech jockeys who will be receiving the equipment; not so much. Their opinion on geopolitics doesn't particularly matter to the UHS, however.
Five days is fine. And don't worry about the CSG or it's personnel, as until the escort is launched they will simply be continuing standard patrol operations (with the difference of being much closer to your border). The navy as a whole and particularly the Second and Third Fleets use radar and early warning systems that have advanced target analysis systems that serve to keep a leash on the few sailors or pilots that may have itchy trigger fingers and to protect flights or vessels that aren't a threat to Thalasian operations, if that's what you're concerned about.
My concern isn't secrecy, but that there is the potential for enemy intelligence to contact one of the personnel you are sending over. If someone were to do this, they could give secrets on not only how the exoskeletons are being used specifically but also they could give away glimpses of Thalasian Marines special operations that few others would have a chance to see. I suppose we could take stringent measures on intelligence on our end, and merely hope that you don't have many FLOAT or other enemy spies, or that if you do you can use secrecy or your own intelligence community to keep them away from the personnel that are going to be working with us.
Also, the weapons purchase is not secret, of course. But there are details about it (that we have yet to discuss and probably won't) that should be secret.
Hey, you win some and you lose some. :P
Is "Furniture Restoration" like auto parts refurbishing? So when someone takes the furniture factory rejects and reworks them, does that count?
Maybe? Ask the WA.
I'm about to hand control of Farbanti's city operations to the private sector in a bid to help lower taxes. Wish me luck that this doesn't mess up literally everything.
We're not too worried about the carrier group; I was merely joking about the pilots, since I doubt anyone would get especially excited about the prospect of guard duty, whether they were doing it in a plane or not. At any rate, I have full confidence in our pilots and in the design of the PF-108.
Just in case, tell them that there will be several ORION GTAM sites watching for anybody with an itchy trigger finger, and they're perfectly serviceable out to 180km.
...man, this whole handoff is an international incident waiting to happen.
Spies have a difficult time infiltrating themselves into the Bermudan Pentagram, thanks to our mandatory GPS and RFIDentity implants. It's certainly possible that some citizens might have been suborned by FLOAT, but these are all ex-SPARTANs we're sending you, and their loyalty is unquestionable. Literally. They get confused if you ask if they're spying for anyone else. The possibility hasn't crossed most of their minds.
Moreover, with only a 2-day window, I sincerely doubt any intelligence apparatus could get agents in place anyway. The only alternative is if they had always been in place, and that's a problem far more likely to occur on your end.
Since this is a regional forum, however, I would like to stress that should any of our citizens, even non-military ones, go missing, the GPS implants are tamper-proof, and will explode if any attempts are made to remove them. There was only enough room for about half a gram of semtex, but that will be more than sufficient to kill any 'intelligence source' you might seek to 'acquire'.
And if you don't remove them, we'll know exactly where you are.
You can't win! So don't bother.
Just out of curiosity, is your PF-108 anything like the American XF-108? Also, don't worry about an incident. If this is treated as a simple patrol and escort mission, barely a deviation from normal schedule, then everything will be okay. I will not relay your comment about your ORION SAM system, but I will keep it in mind. Regardless, the TSS Rendora Carrier Strike Group (one supercarrier with CVW, two guided missile destroyers, two Aegis missile frigates, and one submarine) is now on the way to a spot in international waters close to your nation.
Your frankly insane level of monitoring and control that you place on your citizens, while honestly disturbing to us, suits our security needs for this and any future weapons deal quite nicely. You have our thanks and confidence.
The Republic of Estontium and The Constitutional Monarchy of Utahisdi Gadohi are both formally invited to join the Ainurian Democratic Defense Organization, or ADDO.
ADDO is a coalition of allied nations that share similar values regarding the universality of human rights and the necessity of democracy. This coalition is primarily a defense pact and military alliance, allowing for nations to easily band together and support one another when they are under attack to defend democratic institutions and to protect human rights. It can also run offensive military operations itself, such as invasions or air strikes (with a unanimous member agreement) as well as setting up naval blockades (if 75% agree) and no-fly zones (if >50% agree) on potential and current threats. It's real life analogue is NATO.
As of right now, there are only two requirements for ADDO membership. You must...
1. You must have a functioning democracy ("Some" or better in Political Freedoms), and adhere to standards of human rights ("Average" or better in Civil Rights), and
2. You must have a standing army, Air Force, and (if applicable) navy of some kind with total military personnel numbering over 10,000 people, and must also be willing to use that military in defense of other ADDO members in both combat and support roles.
If you have both of these, you can either apply for ADDO membership or accept an invitation. Since both nations I have mentioned in the first paragraph meet all the requirements, I'll be eagerly waiting a response from them.

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
27 Oct 2012 12:36 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Qatar, United States
Gary Wasserman is professor of government at Georgetown School of Foreign Service, Qatar. He is the author of The Basics of American Politics (14th ed) and Politics in Action (2012). He has written for The New York Times, Foreign Policy, and Political Science Quarterly.
As the end nears for seemingly endless presidential campaigning, a murmur can be heard questioning how much of this really makes a difference. Does all the advertising, debates, speeches, strategies, voter targetting and candidate positioning actually affect the outcome of the election? "Do Campaigns Matter?" brings up the debate between scholarly students of elections and the practitioners of the dark arts over how important are campaigns.
For us academic analysts of elections (called political scientists by those unfamiliar with what a science really is) emphasis is often put on "objective" factors, meaning those existing in the political environment that influence election results. These would include the state of the economy, the popularity of the incumbent, the relative strength of the two parties and the public's confidence in
For us academic analysts of elections (called political scientists by those unfamiliar with what a science really is) emphasis is often put on "objective" factors, meaning those existing in the political environment that influence election results. These would include the state of the economy, the popularity of the incumbent, the relative strength of the two parties and the public's confidence in their country's future direction (Right track? Wrong track?). So the stronger the economy, the more popular the incumbent and his party and the public's overall sense of well being, the more likely it is that the current occupant, or his party, will keep the White House.
The 2008 Republican nominee, John McCain, would be a poster boy for a candidate facing the headwinds of an unfavourable environment - including a plummeting economy, and an incumbent so disliked he couldn't get invited to his own party's convention. Add on that his Republican party had lost its majority in both houses of congress in the 2006 elections, and was given responsibility for two expensive and unresolved wars. No matter how much credit is given Barack Obama's effective campaigning that year, the political setting gave any Democratic nominee a considerable advantage in taking the White House.
For academics these factors go a long way to predicting the outcomes of elections, including 2008.
Alas, they are also conditions over which candidates and their staff have little control. Not surprisingly the people paid to run these campaigns stress the variables that they earn their salaries for managing.
This shifts the focus, for starters, on the attractiveness of the candidate; how articulate, disciplined and skilled a politician he or she is. Then might be how appropriate is the campaign's strategy; is it the right one for the candidate, the opposition, the resources available. What about the campaign message? Does it meet the demands of the press and voters for change or experience, hope or reassurance, throw the bums out or steady as she goes. Fundraising is another vital ingredient. Of overarching importance is the campaign leadership, their ability to organise the effort, work under pressure and get along with each other. These are factors that, in the main, can be shaped by candidates and their staff.
Hillary Clinton's 2008 effort is a prime example of how not to run a campaign. Beginning as the consensus front runner for the Democratic nomination, her campaign proceeded to waste her assets. Her message of experience in Washington played badly in a political climate that was fed up by anyone connected with the Nation's Capital. Her strategy of frontloading her efforts in the early primaries left her unprepared and out of money for the drawn out battles that she faced later. Her campaign staff was poorly managed, internally conflicted, expensive and ineffective. With her husband interfering and Hillary not able to assert control over the campaign, she lost to a more focused, better disciplined and arguably more attractive candidate. She was simply outplayed in the electoral game of primary politics.
The political environment for the 2012 general election presents the Democrats with much fewer advantages than they had in 2008. The Republicans are still benefiting from their advances in the 2010 elections, not only in national offices but in governors and state legislatures who can tilt their state's voting patterns toward their party. The Democrats' seven point advantage in voters identifying with the party which they held over the Republicans in 2008 has been wiped out (this is also the percentage of the vote that Obama won by in that year). The economy - while improving - is barely expanding, and suffers from a still-high unemployment rate, as well as a depressed housing market. Confidence in the future is negative. By 55 to 40 per cent, people think the country is on the wrong track. Anti-incumbent resentment remains strong, but this time the president is Democratic.
In short, given the difficult political environment, Democrats this year are forced to believe in the power of campaigns. Their early and extensive negative advertising against the Republican nominee underlined their uncertainty of depending on the Obama record. Their massive fundraising effort was motivated by the Republican advantage in SuperPAC monies but also by the expectation that they would need an unprecedented national grassroots effort. And their hi-tech micro-targetting already the best-in-show, has been upgraded and extended. Their mining of voters' personal data builds on the 2008 "ground game", and relies on social media and door-to-door canvassing targeted to key states. The hope is that these personalised contacts will prove more effective in turning out the vote than Romney's expensive mass TV- intensive advertising.
Live Box 20121816112138306
But there are a number of problems with relying on campaigns to bring victory. One is that by the time someone has become a presidential nominee of a major political party they have reached the pinnacle of an enormous system of elections and governments. If you've made it in American electoral politics this far you tend to be a good candidate. Thus both sides are pretty evenly matched in quality of the campaigns, quantity of resources and attractiveness of the candidates. Which doesn't mean that mistakes aren't made, just that they are unpredictable and randomly distributed. It's not surprising then that the polls in June of an election year - before the most aggressive general-election campaigning by either side has begun - are decent predictors of the November outcome.
While both candidates are running the best campaigns they can, the Democrats have less confidence than in 2008 that they can depend on the inertia of the political environment to propel them to another term heading the executive branch. The public's anti-incumbent instincts remain securely in place but this time working against Obama. The economy still is a negative, the public is uncertain where the country is headed and partisan paralysis in Washington is securely in place. The final blow - illustrated in the debates - is that the opposition party managed to nominate a credible presidential candidate, especially when compared with the anti-evolutionary dimwits that ran against him in the primaries.
Do campaigns matter? This year the Democrats certainly hope so.

SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Two roads remain closed and there is no indication when the third phase of the Highway 61 project will begin.
According to Andrea Clifford, spokesperson for the state transportation cabinet's District Five, there has not been a decision made on whether to permanently close old Preston Highway just south of Hebron Lane.
Currently, the road is closed due to a collapsed culvert.
MOUNT WASHINGTON--School's been over for about a month now, but one Bullitt County city just received some high marks.
Mount Washington was recently listed third on the 2015 Niche Rankings survey for the "Best Suburbs to Raise a Family in the Louisville Metro Area."
Mount Washington Mayor Barry Armstrong said he's "pleased and proud to be number three," but they hope to reach even higher.
SHEPHERDSVILLE-- Eastern Kentucky University cheerleading director Beth Bruner recently had a good day in Bullitt County as she picked up a pair of Bullitt Central seniors to join her program starting in August.
During a ceremony in the new Bullitt Central Media Center, both Sean Byler and Jacob Calvert signed to cheer for the Colonels.
MOUNT WASHINGTON--Old Mill Elementary had some special visitors at the end of the school year—former UK players: Jon Hood, Tod Lanter, Sam Malone and Jeff Sheppard.
The group told the kids it's important to work hard on and off the court, to push through tough times and to find a way to help someone else.
Lanter spoke about he was a "little guy" so he had to work twice as hard to be good in basketball, but he also worked hard in the classroom so he could have a career after basketball.
Inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances may occur, so the information below is strictly of an advisory nature and is subject to change with no notice.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - An arrest was made in the stabbing death of Alabama resident Aaron Jewell at the Interstate 65 Welcome Center on Saturday, June 20.
Nicole Rae Skyberg, 26, was arrested by Shepherdsville Police Wednesday evening and charged with murder.
SPD spokesperson Capt. Ken Bernardi said Skyberg, a California resident, was the passenger in Jewell's truck that was questioned by detectives at the scene.
"She was a person of interest from the beginning of the investigation," he said.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Bullitt Countians can prepare to have a blast at a blast with a different kind of blast to it.
The 2015 version of the Bullitt Blast and Shepherdsville City Fair, scheduled for July 2-4, will mix the traditions with some exciting new events.
The events are hosted by the Shepherdsville/Bullitt County Tourist and Convention Commission and the Zoneton Trowel Club.
BARDSTOWN--A high-speed car chase that started near Exit 116 in Bullitt County ended in a shallow dry gulch in a cow pasture off Deatsville Road with a crashed stolen car, a suspected rolling meth lab and two people in cuffs.
SHEPHERDSVILLE--It's only been 10 months since Caleb Buege began his fitness transformation, but it's already gained him national attention.
Buege, 30, is a finalist in the Team Beachbody competiton, which ends Tuesday, June 30. The winners (one female and one male) will win $100,000.
The Shepherdsville resident said he began to avidly workout using programs from BeachBody, such as Insanity and P90x3, after encouragement from his wife Lynsey.
But he has faced more physical challenges than the average person.
KYTC advises motorists of evening lane closures on KY 1526 in Bullitt County.
Contract crews will be working Friday, June 26 to install traffic detection loops at the intersection with Blue Lick Road.
Lane closures are scheduled from 6:30 p.m. until 6 a.m. the following morning.
This work is near the Brooks interchange at I-65.

Rafael Soriano
2014 Preview: Washington Nationals
Mar 5, 2014, 12:00 PM EDT
Between now and Opening Day, HardballTalk will take a look at each of baseball's 30 teams, asking the key questions, the not-so-key questions, and generally breaking down their chances for the 2014 season. Next up: The Washington Nationals. The Big Question: Can the Nationals reclaim their throne atop the NL East? The Nationals were everybody's…
Rafael Soriano has lost ten pounds, found his breaking ball
Feb 17, 2014, 8:50 AM EDT
This isn't BSOHL territory — no one makes that claim here or anything close to it — but Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post reports that Rafael Soriano has lost 10 pounds and looks a lot learner as camp opens. Soriano started working a month early. He claims having extra weight on him last year…
Ranking the bullpens: 2014 edition
Feb 7, 2014, 9:00 AM EDT
We tried this with the rotations the other day. Once again, I'll be dipping into my 2014 projections here to rank the bullpens. To come up with the following bullpen ERAs, I simply combined each team's seven highest-IP relievers, according to my projections. AL Royals – 2.93 Red Sox – 3.14 Athletics – 3.16 Rangers…
Nationals interested in Grant Balfour; would like to trade Drew Storen
Jan 19, 2014, 8:20 PM EDT
After a flubbed signing with the Orioles, free agent reliever Grant Balfour has recently drawn some interest from the Nationals, Ken Rosenthal reports on FOX Sports. The Nationals have a trio of relievers who could close, but as Rosenthal explains, they would prefer Rafael Soriano's $14 million option for 2015 not to vest and for…
Nationals interested in free agent Grant Balfour
Jan 19, 2014, 12:32 PM EDT
The Orioles scrapped a two-year, $15 million pact with free agent right-hander Grant Balfour after a pre-signing physical revealed some previously-undiscovered issues in the reliever's wrist and knee. But Balfour shouldn't be out of work much longer. According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the 36-year-old native of Sydney, Australia is now drawing interest from the…
Report: Mutual interest between the Tigers and Joe Nathan
Nov 11, 2013, 8:32 PM EDT
The Tigers passed on Rafael Soriano last winter and decided to go in-house at closer, eventually settling on Joaquin Benoit, but they are prepared to look to free agency to fill the role this offseason. Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that "mutual interest" has developed between the Tigers and Joe Nathan. After declining his…
Rafael Soriano, first lieutenant in the Dominican Air Force
Oct 30, 2013, 12:16 PM EDT
James Wagner of the Washington Post has a good article about Nationals closer Rafael Soriano, who enlists in the Dominican Republic's Air Force when he goes home during the offseason: Soriano was brought into the Dominican Air Force, an honorary placement, a distinction also bestowed upon other major leaguers from the Dominican. But Soriano took…
If only Jim Leyland hadn't been so hands on
Oct 20, 2013, 1:32 AM EDT
Tigers manager Jim Leyland spent the first four months of this season with two reliable relievers: left-hander Drew Smyly and right-hander Joaquin Benoit. Obviously, that's less than ideal. But it did give him fewer chances to mess things up. And mess things up he did in the ALCS. With Jose Veras and Al Alburquerque at…
No, the Strasburg shutdown in 2012 is not why the Nats missed the playoffs in 2013
Sep 24, 2013, 2:32 PM EDT
The worst part of narrative-driven sports journalism is that it usually results in those who engage in it bending the facts to fit the narrative rather than identifying a narrative that springs logically from those facts. As an example I give you John Feinstein's column on the Nats. Which came out today, but which you…
Nationals bench coach Randy Knorr wants to replace Davey Johnson
Sep 3, 2013, 10:15 AM EDT
Davey Johnson is stepping down as Nationals manager following the season and bench coach Randy Knorr wants to be the man who replaces him. Bill Ladson of MLB.com notes that Knorr managed nearly half of the Nationals' current roster while they were in the minors and this is his second season as Johnson's right-hand man…
Jason Heyward has six straight multi-hit games
Aug 18, 2013, 10:27 AM EDT
Lost in the Nationals' eventual 8-7 win Saturday against the Braves was another big offensive performance from Atlanta's Jason Heyward. Heyward, 24, hit a 420-foot solo home run to right-center field in the bottom of the first inning and then tied the game at 7-7 with a 415-foot two-run shot off closer Rafael Soriano in…
And That Happened: Thursday's scores and highlights
Aug 16, 2013, 6:46 AM EDT
Athletics 5, Astros 0: Sonny Gray only has a couple of major league starts under his belt, but this one was a spiffy one: eight shutout innings, nine strikeouts. Of course a lot of guys have had spiffy starts against the Astros lately. Rule 5 pick Nate Freiman had himself a nice day too, going…
Hector Sanchez hits a soul-crushing home run as the Giants win
Aug 15, 2013, 7:45 PM EDT
On the heels of a five-game winning streak, the Nationals were three outs away from reaching the .500 mark for the first time since July 19 when Rafael Soriano took the hill with a 3-1 lead in the ninth inning this afternoon against the Giants. After allowing a lead-off single to Buster Posey, Soriano got…
Report: Yankees GM Brian Cashman was against acquiring Alfonso Soriano
Jul 27, 2013, 4:12 PM EDT
The Yankees brought Alfonso Soriano back to the Bronx yesterday after completing a trade with the Cubs. But if GM Brian Cashman had his way, the deal wouldn't have happened. Joel Sherman of the New York Post was told by "two executives not affiliated with the Yankees" that Cashman believed the team's assets could be…
Tyler Clippard says the Nationals have handled Drew Storen "very poorly"
Jul 27, 2013, 9:45 AM EDT
Drew Storen was demoted to Triple-A Syracuse after yesterday's doubleheader against the Mets. It's a dramatic fall from grace for someone who looked like one of the best young relievers in the game just two years ago. Coming off his implosion during the NLDS last October against the Cardinals, Storen owns a 5.95 ERA through…
Bryce Harper hits his first of many walkoff homers
Jul 25, 2013, 4:51 PM EDT
After the Nationals coughed up a 7-3 lead in the top of the ninth Thursday against the Pirates, Bryce Harper hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the inning, giving Washington a 9-7 win. Harper's homer came off Bryan Morris with two outs in the ninth. He had gone 12 straight games without an…
Anthony Rendon's ninth-inning homer lifts Nats over Indians
Jun 15, 2013, 11:35 PM EDT
Nationals second baseman Anthony Rendon had three hits in five at-bats tonight, including a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning that broke a 6-6 tie to give the Nationals the victory over the Indians. It was the first of the 23-year-old's career. Closer Rafael Soriano came on in the bottom half…
2013 MLB Draft: Day one winners and losers
Jun 7, 2013, 2:27 AM EDT
It's a tradition here at Hardball Talk to pick the winners and losers from the draft, even though we're years away from having any idea who came out on top. And we're not ones to mess with tradition, no matter how silly it may make us look in the end. Let's rock. Winners Mark Appel:…
And That Happened: Wednesday's scores and highlights
May 23, 2013, 6:57 AM EDT
Phillies 3, Marlins 0: Cliff Lee shuts out the Marlins on three hits. Granted, it doesn't take anyone as good as Lee to shut out the Marlins, but that's nothing that Lee could help. He was dominant. Just like Benedict Cumberbatch in that scene when he killed all those [alien race redacted to avoid spoilers]…
Rafael Soriano took back all that stuff he said about Bryce Harper
May 22, 2013, 2:44 PM EDT
Remember how Rafael Soriano called out Bryce Harper for blowing last night's game by missing a catch in right field? Not surprisingly the Nationals closer took it all back today, telling James Wagner of the Washington Post that the comments came during what he thought was an off-the-record conversation with a reporter. Here's more from…
Dan Haren delivers gem to shut down Braves
May 2, 2013, 10:18 PM EDT
Dan Haren hasn't had the smoothest start to the season, but he was in vintage form tonight against the division rival Braves, tossing eight innings of one-run ball as part of a 3-1 victory. The victory gave Washington a split of the four-game series and pushed the club back over .500 at 15-14. Haren limited…
Settling the Score: Friday's results
Apr 13, 2013, 8:51 AM EDT
Last night featured round one of what should be a compelling NL East battle between the Braves and Nationals. While the Nationals had the early advantage behind an excellent effort from Ross Detwiler, the Braves came roaring back in the late innings for an eventual 6-4 win in 10 innings. After scoring one run in…
It's early, but the Braves-Nationals series is gonna be a good one
Apr 12, 2013, 4:30 PM EDT
We're only nine games into the season, but this weekend we have what you might consider to be the first big series of the season: Braves vs. Nationals at Nats Park. Atlanta is 8-1, their best start since winning 13 of 14 to begin the 1994 season. It's hard to get a true gauge on them…
Stephen Strasburg throws seven shutout innings, leaves after 80 pitches
Apr 1, 2013, 2:53 PM EDT
Stephen Strasburg was cruising along through seven shutout innings against the Marlins and looked ready to pitch into the eighth inning of a game for the first time in his career, but manager Davey Johnson decided to pull him after just 80 pitches. Washington was up 2-0, so it was hardly a blowout situation, but…
UPDATE: Rafael Soriano's trip to the Dominican Republic was not about his tooth
Mar 20, 2013, 2:00 PM EDT
UPDATE: Drat. Seems the trip was just to visit his family. He's gonna have his tooth worked on in Florida tomorrow. Totally ruins my ObamaCare joke. At this rate Jay Leno is never going to ask me to join his writing staff. Sigh. 2:00 PM: It's like that Ray Stevens "Haircut" song, except it's about…

Shevchenko: Ukraine can still get to Euro 2012 quarter-finals
They may well have to do so without national hero Andriy Shevchenko, scorer of two goals in their win over Sweden, after the 48-goal striker was rated as "50-50" by coach Oleg Blokhin due to a knee injury.
Blokhin has said all sorts of quirky things during the tournament so England will not be fooled and will be lifted by the return of their own spearhead Wayne Rooney after suspension as they seek the point they need to advance.
The last time the teams met Ukraine ran out winners at home in a World Cup qualifier, so the prospect of victory is not too remote and will keep fans hopeful that at least one of the co-hosts will make the knockout stages after Poland's failure.
Group D leaders France, on four points, face eliminated Sweden in Kiev at the same time knowing victory would probably hand them a quarter-final against Italy, also in Kiev.France, into their stride after dismantling Ukraine in the last match, should beat eliminated Sweden side who have not beaten the 1998 World Cup winners in more than 40 years.

Sunrise Propane explosion captured on surveillance tape
A dramatic surveillance tape played in court yesterday showed the huge fireball and white light that was part of the 2008 propane plant explosion.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Video of the huge fireball that appeared in a Downsview sky shortly before 4 a.m. on Aug. 10, 2008 and was followed by fiery flames and a blinding white light was shown in a Toronto courtroom Tuesday, the second day of an ongoing trial involving Sunrise Propane and two of its directors.
The footage was captured on a surveillance tape from a FedEx location near Sunrise Propane, which faces numerous charges under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and Environment Protection Act (EPA) related to the explosion and fire from four years ago. It was a catastrophe which claimed the life of Sunrise employee Parminder Singh Saini, 25 and lead to the evacuation of thousands who lived nearby and damaged homes and businesses.
James Bennett, an engineer with the Ontario Fire Marshal's office who was part of a team which investigated the fire and explosion at the Sunrise site, told the court that there was only one source there at the time that could have set off such a massive explosion. He said a tanker, called Unit 861, which was involved in a transfer of propane to another tanker, called Unit One, was the "only source that had enough propane.''
A propane leak caused a vapour cloud which ignited, said Bennett.
The leak itself was probably caused by some sort of failure in the hose linking the two tankers or by a malfunction in a Unit 861 pump, he said.
Bennett confirmed to defence lawyer Leo Adler that what he said in his report on the explosion two years ago remained true — the fire marshal investigation could not determine the cause of the ignition.
Bennett said the fire and explosion at the Sunrise site was classified as "accidental.''
The company and two of its directors, Shay Ben-Moshe and Valery Belahov, have pled not guilty to all of the charges, which include failing to providing sufficient training and supervision and failing to protect the health and safety of Saini, who worked as an attendant on Friday and Saturday nights, filling taxi and limousine propane cylinders.
The EPA charges allege that Sunrise discharged contaminant and breached orders from the province to clean up the mess from the explosion and fire at the site, near Keele St. and Wilson Ave.
