Fourth-Place Medal
Brian Boitano announces he is gay
Jay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal1 day agoThe 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi were already shaping up to be an event at which sexual orientation played a significant role, in large part because of Russia's stringent anti-gay propaganda law. The United States upped the ante this week by naming two gay athletes to its delegation attending the Games. And now, another member of that delegation, Olympic figured skating legend Brian Boitano, has come out in a move that is clearly designed to endorse a more open form of communication and tolerance than exists in Russia.
Boitano, who won gold in men's figure skating in 1988, has been in the public eye for decades, yet has consistently declined to address the issue of his sexuality despite longtime speculation. The fact that he is coming out at this point, then, is certainly an inextricable part of the overall narrative.
Boitano's statement, in full:
The USOC is fundraising by selling mittens that are made in China
Kevin Kaduk at Fourth-Place Medal4 days agoWhen the Winter Olympics begin in February, U.S. athletes will be equipped with clothing made exclusively by American manufacturers.
The same might not be said for the fans who are rooting them along.
According to The Associated Press, the United States Olympic Committee is selling "Go USA" mittens that were made in China. Priced at $14, the mittens are part of the "Raise Your Hands" movement for Sochi 2014 and are aimed to capitalize on the mitten mania that ran wild during the Vancouver Games in 2010.
Infographic: Lindsey Vonn's impressive return from injury outdoes Adrian Peterson, Derrick Rose
Jay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal10 days agoLindsey Vonn's recovery from a catastrophic knee injury suffered in February has been nothing short of amazing. How amazing, you ask? Last year, Adrian Peterson suffered a similar injury and made a highly-celebrated return to the NFL just 226 days afterward. Vonn beat him by 50 days.
Here, Red Bull charts not only Vonn's return as compared to a "normal" human being (she'd beat us back to full strength by six months) but also her impressive training regimen and work ethic. Check it out, and be impressed:
Gold medalist Evan Lysacek will miss Sochi with injury
Jay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal10 days agoEvan Lysacek, defending men's Olympic figure skating champion, will miss the 2014 Olympics in Sochi because of an injury. It's a blow to both the United States' medal hopes and the storyline aspect of the Games; Lysacek was expected to be one of the lead stories of the Olympics.
"This has been my entire life, training and representing my country," Lysacek said, according to the Associated Press. "So it's just kind of difficult. As much as I knew it could go either way, I never accepted it wouldn't. I always thought it would work out. I was crushed. I am crushed."
Lysacek last competed in 2010. He was attempting to recover from a torn labrum in his left hip, but it became clear he would not be ready for Sochi. Even had he been healthy, he was by no means a certainty to match Dick Button's two golds in 1948 and 1952. But now, he will not even get the opportunity.
Lysacek now joins Johnny Weir as highly recognizable men's skating competitors who will not make the trip to Sochi. Weir retired earlier this fall.
Lindsey Vonn returns to competition for first time since injury
Jay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal14 days agoLindsey Vonn is back in action ... and even if she's a bit deeper in the standings than she'd like, it's better than being on the sidelines.
Vonn raced in a World Cup downhill at Lake Louise, Alberta on Friday afternoon, her first competition since a catastrophic wreck back in February and marks a surprisingly quick return to action after tearing her ACL less than three weeks ago. Her unofficial time of 1 minute, 59.22 seconds had her outside the top 25, but nonetheless marked an important milestone in her quest to defend her downhill Olympic gold medal.
The race was briefly delayed due to extreme cold. Temperatures at Lake Louise were minus-18, with wind chill from skiing plunging far lower.
Diver Tom Daley announces he is gay in YouTube video
Jay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal18 days agoTom Daley, a British diver who won bronze at the London Olympic Games in 2012, has become the latest athlete to publicly declare his sexual orientation.
In a YouTube video designed to end "rumors and speculation," Daley announced that he is indeed gay. "Come spring this year my life changed massively when I met someone and they made me feel so happy, so safe and everything just feels great -- and that someone is a guy," said Daley. "Of course I still fancy girls but right now I'm dating a guy and I couldn't be happier."
Daley, age 19, tried to head off the inevitable backlash: "In an ideal world I wouldn't be doing this video because it shouldn't matter, but recently I was misquoted in an interview and it made me feel really angry and frustrated, and emotions that I've never felt before when reading something about myself, and for me honesty is something that I really do believe in."
Daley won bronze in the 10-meter dive at the London Olympics, and hopes to compete in Rio in 2016. He remains a popular figure in England.
Report: Lindsey Vonn injured in ski accident at Copper Mountain [UPDATED]
Jay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal1 mth agoWith less than 100 days before the start of the Winter Olympics, Lindsey Vonn has reportedly been injured in a skiing accident at Copper Mountain in Colorado.
Ski Racing magazine first reported the accident, but few details are now available. Vonn will undergo an MRI on an injured knee after the wreck. She has been rehabbing an injured right knee, but there is no word yet on which knee she injured.
"No details yet. Yes she did crash and is being evaluated now," the U.S. Ski Team said in an email to NBC Sports.
In February, Vonn suffered a cruciate and lateral ligament injury when she slipped and her legs became entangled in a wreck during the super-G at Schladming, Austria. She began skiing downhill for the first time since February just last week. Vonn is scheduled to race in three World Cup events at Beaver Creek, Colo. immediately after Thanksgiving.
Lindsey Vonn partially tears ACL in training accident, uncertain of return date
Jay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal1 mth agoLindsey Vonn re-injured her right knee during a training run Tuesday, jeopardizing her hopes for competing in the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.
"Lindsey sustained a mild strain to her right knee, a partial tear to her right ACL, minor facial abrasions and scapular contusions from her fall," publicist Lewis Kay said in a statement. "She needs to rest for a few days and then will pursue aggressive physical therapy and will determine the next time she is able to compete after seeing how she responds to the treatment."
Vonn was taken off the slopes of Copper Mountain, Colorado on a sled, a standard precautionary measure. One observer on Twitter offered up what was purported to be a shot of Vonn on her feet following the wreck:

Fierce Five fan uses illness to inspire McKayla Maroney Halloween costume
Jay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal1 mth agoYes, Halloween was two weeks ago. This one still merits notice. Leslie Barrett posted the above picture to McKayla Maroney's Facebook page, and we'll let her tell you the rest:
Two months ago I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy, which means the right side of my face is temporarily paralyzed and I can only express emotion on my left. Last week at a party someone pointed out that I normally look like your "not impressed" face. I decided to incorporate my disability into my Halloween costume and dress up as you. This has hands down been the best costume I've ever had. It was the first time in months I got to look like I was intentionally making a face and it has helped me deal with the slow recovery a little better.
The photo's closing in on 50,000 upvotes on Reddit in a single day. Good stuff, and good on Leslie for turning around her condition.
Squat 30 times, ride for free: Russia promotes Olympic spirit with train-station athletics
Jay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal1 mth agoWith three months to go until the start of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia is doing its best to stoke the Olympic spirit among the populace with all kinds of outreach, including a unique "squat-and-ride" promotion.
The city of Moscow is offering free rides on its subway for any passenger who does 30 squats prior to boarding. The idea, of course, is both to get the Olympic spirit bubbling and to get the population exercising. Each ride costs 30 rubles, or about 92 cents. The promotion will last for a month.
"We wanted to show that the Olympic Games is not just an international competition that people watch on TV, but that it is also about getting everyone involved in a sporting lifestyle," Alexander Zhukov, president of the Russian Olympic Committee, said in Russia's RIA-Novosti, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Is anyone out there watching the NFL these days?
Frequently, coaches downplay the significance of a game because there are so many, particularly in the NFL, where 7-9 teams like the 2010 Seattle Seahawks can make the playoffs and a 9-7 team like the 2011 New York Giants can win a Super Bowl.
Here is my final vote in The Associated Press regular-season college football poll.
The weekend's college football results took a lot of the suspense out of the voting. But just the same, the ballots are in for the final USA Today coaches poll of the regular season, and the top two finishers will almost certainly be the same in the overall Bowl Championship Series standings that will determine the national championship matchup.

Louisiana College's Kevin Cottonham helped lead the Wildcats basketball team to a 3-0 record in American Southwest Conference play with a 75-66 win at LeTourneau on Saturday.
Winnfield's defense needed one more stop to secure a berth in the Superdome.
Many High felt that the game was won with the ball at the 20-yard line with 1:12 left in the game. But a couple of crazy plays at the end made everyone at Tiger Stadium gasp in shock, excitement, and for the Loreauville faithful, anger.
MONROE, La. -- Darkness began to move in and the temperature dropped as 22 wounded warriors sighted in their weapons Friday night, preparing for a Saturday hunt and hoping for a kill.

When the Saints' return flight from Seattle was postponed on Monday night until Tuesday because of a cracked window, every member of the organization could have said, 'Been there, done that.'
Neka Jones scored 18 points and Skylar Chenevert added 15, and Louisiana College rode outstanding second half shooting to a 78-63 women's basketball victory over American Southwest Conference rival East Texas Baptist Thursday night.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. A woman who accused Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston of sexual assault told police she was raped at an apartment after a night of drinking at a bar, according to a search warrant released hours before a prosecutor was to announce whether the Heisman Trophy contender should face charges.
The Winnfield Tigers have seen a long line of powerful, workhorse running backs in their football history.

Grambling State has hired Broderick Lee Fobbs as its new football coach.
If a team has hopes of knocking off top-ranked Many in the next two weeks and preventing the Tigers from claiming their first state football championship, it better be prepared to stop the run.
Some nights a basketball player or team just doesn't have its A game.
BATON ROUGE The last pass of Louisiana State quarterback Zach Mettenberger's college career was a 32-yard completion to wide receiver Jarvis Landry just as he was being tackled to set up a field goal in the fourth quarter Saturday of the Tigers' 31-27 win over Arkansas.
You can keep your Jordan Lynch. I don't care if the Northern Illinois quarterback has rushed for more than 1,700 yards, twice setting the FBS record for quarterbacks by rushing for more than 315 yards in a game.
A long night on the field in Seattle got even worse off of it, and now the Saints are operating on a compressed time-frame as they brace for surging Carolina with first place in the NFC South at stake.
The rest of the NFC better get ready to visit the Pacific Northwest in January. After Monday night's rout, the road through the NFC playoffs is almost certain to go through Seattle.
University of Alabama kicker Cade Foster had a rough game against Auburn Saturday night at the Iron Bowl, missing two of his field goal attempts and having one blocked and eventually being replaced by freshman kicker Adam Griffith for what turned out to be an incredibly ill-fated 57-yard attempt (which we will point out is longer than most pro kickers can consistently do) on the last play.

So basically, the frame will cost more than the poster, that kind of sucks.
i got those frames for 8.99 at marshalls. came with the matting.
one of the only ones in my collection that i actually have framed:
Let's go on a livin' spree!
i also have a Decemberists one from their Hollywood Bowl show.
and an Of Montreal one from their last tour.
I wear a shirt all the time with a very similar Wayne drawing that says "BECKON THE PAINING EXISTS??!!" on the back.
I love that shirt...
I always think it's cool when I see a poster I love from a band that I'm not all that in to. It makes me want to reevaluate my opinion of their music. The Flaming Lips one might qualify.
I don't get it when people buy show posters for a show they weren't at.
90% of the shows I've attended seem to have no poster
2/24 Cibo Matto @ El Rey
3/21 St. Vincent @ Wiltern
4/30 Mono @ Troubadour
All of the (four) posters I own are from shows I attended, but I could understand someone buying one because they like the artwork.
I always go for the t-shirts with my $25.
Chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot piiiieeeeeeeee!
I see posters on insound for gigs I've actually attended:
Was really hoping there would be a poster for the Asobi Seksu Halloween fun times.
2/24 Cibo Matto @ El Rey
3/21 St. Vincent @ Wiltern
4/30 Mono @ Troubadour
if anyone has any coachella posters, can you post them? id like to take a look at what you all have.
Because I simply collect posters and art - the city or designer of origin doesn't need to figure into it.
Hey I wasn't at Saul Bass' studio when he created the Vertigo movie poster - but I have one of those too.
If I don't like the poster it doesn't matter if I was there or not. There has been many shows I been to with ugly posters I did not buy because it wouldn't be welcomed on my wall. If you look at them as art pieces and not some exclusive ticket stub, then you'd prolly see what I mean.

i never saw that justice poster at the show. its beautiful!
off topic, but when does the Justice DVD come out?
Chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot piiiieeeeeeeee!
Oh before I forget - I (along with 3 other people) am having an art show of my posters (ones I own) - they will be for sale at a local gallery here in town. If any of you lads or ladies want anything, I can put it back for you. Not everything I have is going into the show mind you - the gallery owner is picking out stuff (about 30-50 posters).

what is up for grabs? most of your first page post?
I have this shirt except the alien on the left (if you are looking at the pic) is saying..."beckon the paining exists??" and the one on the right says back, "no, Beck and The Flaming Lips!" I got it when I saw that tour at the vegas show. Got right up to the stage, told beck his fly was down too...I just felt bad here he was doing the robot for us but his fly was down so it made it seem sad. That was when the flaming lips were opening and then performing as becks backing band. It was for the sea change album. Probably my favorite time seeing beck of the 7 times.

Purchase Reason
I purchased the 42 x 42 stretched canvas -- very impressive piece. The artwork is visually interesting and a great alternative to a traditionally framed piece. This artwork is hung above my couch on a light french gray wall color -- and it's perfect. The art.com website accurately reflects the colors in this piece -- and the detail and lush colors are captured equally well on the stretched canvas. Great value for the price. The artwork was very well packaged and protected for delivery -- and it arrived in perfect shape. Very happy with my purchase.

We have all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? We need breakfast to recharge our bodies and perform our best, especially children. Breakfast is especially important to my kids because it is usually the only meal of the day they eat all of. I want to make sure they have a healthy breakfast each morning.
Cheerios has been a staple in our house since Rylie could eat solid food. There are so many different Cheerios flavors, we can have a wholesome breakfast every day, and still have variety. All Cheerios cereals are made with whole grain, so I feel good about my kids eating them. Frosted Cheerios and Fruity Cheerios seem to be the favorites in this house.
Cheerios recently introduced their newest flavor - Cinnamon Burst. With delicious cinnamon baked into every bite, it is a delicious and healthy way to start your day!
Made with real cinnamon, new Cinnamon Burst Cheerios cereal will delight your taste buds! This newest edition to the Cheerios line-up allows you to provide your family with a delicious and nutritious breakfast that contains 20% of the Daily Value of fiber (or 5g per serving), has 9g of sugar, is low in fat, saturated fat free and naturally cholesterol free. Cinnamon Burst Cheerios cereal also provides at least 8g of whole grain per serving; at least 48g recommended daily. A true crowd pleaser, Cinnamon Burst Cheerios cereal is sure to kick-start any morning!
We received a Cinnamon Burst Cheerios cereal gift pack for review. This great gift pack included a box of Cinnamon Burst Cheerios cereal, a family 4-pack of cereal bowls, a travel cereal chiller and a cinnamon scented candle.
The new Cinnamon Burst Cheerios quickly became a favorite of everyone in the house! Brian usually has breakfast with the kids in the morning while I'm getting ready for work, so they all sat down to try these. The bowls we received in the gift pack are nice, deep bowls, which I love because I usually eat more than the "serving size" on the box.
The kids quickly gobbled up their cereal and seemed to really enjoy it!
Rylie and I went grocery shopping the other day and there was a display of the new Cinnamon Burst Cheerios in the middle of the aisle. She said "ooooh mommy, we have those!" Apparently they made enough of an impression on her that she even remembered what the box looked like. Everyone in this house gives these new Cheerios two thumbs up. We are definitely starting our mornings with a smile!
I have to also tell you about this great travel cereal chiller that came in our gift pack. I don't usually have time to eat in the morning, so I eat at work. As much as I enjoy eating cereal, I don't feel like bringing a bowl, a cup of milk and a spoon every day. But now I can bring my cereal much easier. This cereal chiller is awesome! It has a frozen ring that you set in the bottom bowl. You can also add fruit to that bowl. There is a cup that fits right down in the ring to keep your milk chilled, and then you add your cereal to the top bowl. The lid even has a spoon that attaches to it. Now I can enjoy a wholesome bowl of Cheerios myself every morning!
Mandatory entry: (This must be done in order for any optional entries to count) Tell me what you do to start your day off with a smile.

King cut the ribbon to officially open Five Towns College's new campus located at what was formerly the Seaford Avenue School in Seaford. Also present at the ceremony were: front row, left to right, Martin Crafton, Director of Admissions; Wilbur Erb, Seaford Board Member; State Assemblyman Fred Parola; Comptroller King; State Senator Norman Levy; and Seaford Board Member Annette Sletten. College Opens Its Doors In Seaford The gold ribbon has been cut, and students, friends, and neighbors of Five Towns College can now hang their hats at the College's new campus at 2165 Seaford Avenue in Seaford! On Friday, August 13,1982, Five Towns College officially opened its doors in Seaford with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. The ceremony began promptly at 11 a.m., as more than fifty people gathered on the lawn and steps of the College to witness the ribbon cutting. The symbolic ribbon was cut by the combined efforts of Senator Norman Levy of the Eighth Senatorial District of New York State and Assemblyman Fredrick Parola. Other dignitaries present at the celebration were Mr. John McCoy (President), Mr. Wilbur Erb, and Ms. Annette Sletten of the Seaford School District Board of Education; Mr. Edward Horton, Director of the Seaford Public Library; Mr. Peter King, Nassau County Comptroller; and Mr. Edward Carty of the Long Island Association of Commerce and Industry. After the ceremony, guests were invited to partake of refreshments. Senator Levy presented two citations and welcomed the College into the community, noting Five Towns College's "confidence in its opening in Seaford on a day like Friday the 13th!" Assemblyman Parola seconded the senator's sentiments and commended Five Towns College for the "proliferation of postsecondary educational opportunities the College makes available for its students and the community." A brief tour of the campus followed the presentation. Highlights included a look at the newly installed microcomputer laboratory, the expanded library facilities, the paneled and carpeted Reading / Writing Center, and the Secretarial Science laboratory. Five Towns College is now in the process of expanding its parking lot to provide ample space for its students and faculty. Five Towns College welcomes visitors to drop in at its new, larger campus, located on the corner of Seaford Avenue and Waverly Avenue, or to call for an appointment at (516) 783-8800 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

After work, I joined my wife and raced to the airport, where after a lengthy trip, arrived in Belize City. They opened the airliner and the humidity was the first thing we met. While the temperature was only about 85, so was the humidity. I loved it. We hit the puddle hopper for a fairly exciting ride and landing at Ambergris Caye. A taxi met us and whisked us off to Xanadu Beach Resort. …
''Antarctica? Why?'' ''Antarctica? Wow!'' Those were the two most common responses from family, friends and colleagues when they learned I was off to the frozen continent for the holidays. I stepped on the Antarctic continent twice: my journey through ice, wind and stormy weather a glorious one. John Steinbeck said it best: ''. . .we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.''
Albatross. Penguins. Seals. Whales. Giant waves. Glaciers. Spectacular land- and seascapes. All this and more on a 17 day voyage from Ushuaia, Argentina, to the Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island and the Antarctic Peninsula.

Documents our Darwin's Islands Trip to Galapagos through Adventure Life - full of exciting tortoises, iguanas and the natural beauty of the islands.
To the "end of the world" and back. My sister and I started the trip with a stay over in Buenos Aires before taking a flight to Ushuaia. Together we hiked and kayaked through Tierra del Fuego. We set foot on Cape Horn and an island inhabited only by penguins. Together, we sailed the Straits of Magellan; we learned about the history of Patagonia: the indigenous people, plants, animals, …
With the help of Adventure Life, we planned a last-minute trip to the Falkland Islands last December. We wanted to time our travels with the breeding cycle of the migratory penguins and we definitely succeeded - we saw so many fluffy, chubby baby penguins and were lucky enough to see albatross chicks and baby seals too!
A great trip with highlights being a morning scuba dive off Santa Cruz Island, an exhilarating hike up the Sierra Negra volcano, lots of curious and nonchalant animal/sealife, great company, accommodations and food, and knowledgable guides who accompanied us throughout our islands visit. Adventure Life arranged a last minute guided bus/walking tour in Quito to structure my last day while …
An account of the adventures and epiphanies of a diverse group of travelers in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.
In 2011 my husband and I had two weeks to explore all through Peru! We participated in a multi-sport trip with hiking, biking, rafting, and horseback riding. We ended with a spectacular cruise on the Amazon River!
Jaw dropping flora and fauna in the Galapagos Islands. Spectacular guides with a wealth of knowledge. Amazing photography opportunities. Quite possibly the best vacation I have taken thus far. I highly recommend extending your stay on the mainland of Ecuador to experience the culture too.
Patagonia. How does one describe an area that is indescribable? It's a land of stark contrasts--jagged snow-capped mountains peaks, pristine lakes, and massive glaciers of mesmerizing beauty, but also a landscape of barren emptiness inhabited only by the incessant Patagonian wind. We called it ''Elusive Patagonia.'' After reading our journal and viewing our photos, what would you call it?
One good trip leads to another. I met two National Geographic photographers on a Baltic cruise. After a few hours of working with them, I really wanted to learn more. When I saw that they were leading a photo workshop in Rome, I signed on.
Ian and I escape to Nicaragua for two weeks to explore a country almost NO ONE visits. We discovered a land of impossibly friendly locals, beautiful scenery and unexpected adventures!

Q: I'm on Social Security. If I were to move to, say, Canada, could I still receive my Social Security there? - M.J., Fayetteville
A: If you moved to Canada, your Social Security payments could be sent to you there for as long as you're eligible for them.
The same would be true if you moved to France or Turkey or Fiji.
But if you moved to Cuba, well, you'd have to go somewhere else to pick up your payments. Federal regulations would prohibit sending payments to you there.
If you don't want to have to travel somewhere else to pick up your Social Security payments, mark North Korea, Cambodia, Vietnam and most of the former Soviet republics off your list of potential retirement spots. Payments can't be sent those places, either. (Note: Payments can be sent to Russia, Armenia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.)
A U.S. citizen living outside this country can receive Social Security payments for as long as he or she is eligible for them.
The same is true for many foreign nationals who are eligible for Social Security payments and living outside the United States, but other rules can apply in these situations. For information, check with Social Security: ssa.gov or 800-772-1213.
Q: I've heard there is a patron saint of cats. I'd like to buy a talisman or medal of this saint. Do you know if any local places carry these? - S.C., Fayetteville
A: We don't. But you can go online to find lots of medals and other items depicting St. Gertrude of Nivelles.
Meanwhile, how did this 7th century abbess come to be linked to cats? It's not because of any stories involving her and felines. There aren't any. Instead, it seems she was invoked against mice and rats. Thus, the thinking must have been, she had to be pro-cats to help combat the vermin. Gertrude lived in what today is Belgium. She was about 32 when she died.
Q: How do you find out who has filed for commercial building permits in Cumberland County and Wake County? - M.H., Fayetteville

'Pronk' Bonks O's In Ninth, Wells Wins It In 10th
YANKEES 6, ORIOLES 4 (10 Innings)
Some teams are built with a lot of money. Some teams are built with a collection of players with special skills. But successful teams are built with lots of players who have heart.
The 2013 New York Yankees are a team with an awful lot of heart and that was on display Monday at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
Down 4-3 with one out in the ninth inning and Orioles closer Jim Johnson on mound, Travis Hafner blasted an opposite-field home run into the bleachers in left-center to tie it and Vernon Wells laced a game-winning RBI double in the 10th inning as New York came from behind to down Baltimore in front of a paid crowd of 24,133.
Hafner and Wells embody the heart of what has been called "The Replacements" and they provided the Yankees with the clutch hitting just when they needed it.
The Orioles took a 3-2 lead away from left-hander CC Sabathia and the Yankees in the bottom of the seventh inning when Nick Markakis slapped an RBI double to left-center to score Alexi Casilla and J.J. Hardy followed one out later with an RBI double down the right-field line.
The Orioles made their 2012 wild-card run largely on the strength of their incredible 24-6 record in one-run games. But 2013 is looking like a much different season for them.
Johnson, who had entered the game having blown his last two save opportunities, fell behind Hafner 3-1 when the 35-year-old designated hitter sent a belt-high outside fastball into the 80-degree evening air and by the time it landed Johnson was hanging his head in disbelief.
David Robertson (3-0) came in to pitch a scoreless ninth inning that sent the game into extra innings, where the Orioles posted an incredible 16-2 record in 2012.
What a difference a year makes!
Ichiro Suzuki opened the top of the 10th with a line-drive double into the right-field corner off right-hander Pedro Strop (0-2)
Wells, who entered the game as pinch-hitter in the eighth inning then picked on a 1-2 hanging slider from Strop and slashed it to the base of the wall in left and the ball bounced into the stands for a ground-rule double that scored Suzuki.
After Austin Romine bunted Wells to third, Brett Gardner was retired on hard grounder and Strop walked Robinson Cano intentionally.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter replaced Strop with left-hander Brian Matusz to face Hafner. But Hafner spoiled the strategy by slashing a 0-1 slider into right for a single to score Wells with an insurance run.
Mariano Rivera, who entered the evening a perfect 16-for-16 in saves this season, pitched a 1-2-3 bottom of the 10th, punctuating his 17th save by striking out Chris Dickerson swinging to push the Orioles' current losing streak to six games.
Believe me when I say that this one really hurt the Orioles.
Sabathia, who was 19-4 with a 2.90 ERA in his career against the Orioles including two victories in the 2012 playoffs, was unable to keep any of leads the Yankees kept providing him with throughout the evening.
Cano opened the scoring with a solo home run - his American League-leading 13th of the season - off former Yankee right-hander Freddy Garcia with one out in the first frame. David Adams followed with a one-out homer of his own, his first in the major leagues, in the second inning.
But Chris Davis reclaimed a share of the A.L. lead in homers with his 13th home run off Sabathia with one out in the bottom of the second.
Two innings later, Markakis tied it up at 2-2 with a one-out RBI single to score Steve Pearce, who led off the inning with a double.
But Lyle Overbay promptly untied it for the Yankees in the seventh with a leadoff home run in the bleacher sin right center off left-hander Troy Patton.
Sabathia then ran out of gas in the seventh and surrendered the lead to the Orioles.
Sabathia gave up four runs on 11 hits and he struck out two in 6 1/3 innings. Garcia, meanwhile, yielded two runs on three hits and two walks while he fanned two in six innings for the O's.
The Yankees extended their winning streak to three games and, combined with the loss by the Boston Red Sox to the Chicago White Sox, they extended their lead in the American League East to 1 1/2 games. The Orioles fell to 23-21 and they are now a whopping five games behind the Yankees in third place in the division.
- Hafner's dramatic home run and RBI single in the 10th must have Yankee fans saying "Raul who?" because Hafner is making them forget how important Raul Ibanez was to the Yankees during the stretch drive and in the playoffs last season. Hafner is hitting .267 with eight home runs and 22 RBIs.
- Wells, another reclamation project courtesy of general manager Brian Cashman, knew his playing time would be reduced when Curtis Granderson returned but he is proving to be very valuable off the bench. With his game-winning double in the 10th, Wells is hitting .267 with 10 home runs and 24 RBIs, which is third on the club behind Cano and fellow "Replacement" Overbay.
- Adams' rookie legend may be growing by leaps and bounds in just five major-league games. Adams was 2-for-4 including his homer. Adams also made some sterling plays in the field, which is surprising because he is not considered to be a good fielder. Adams is 6-for-18 (.333) with a home run and two RBIs and is looking like he might be staying long after Kevin Youkilis comes off the 15-day disabled list.
- Sabathia was just not very sharp at all in this game. In his past two starts, Sabathia has given up 21 hits and two walks in 12 1/3 innings for Walks and Hits to Innings Pitched (WHIP) of 1.82. The Orioles used an opposite-field approach against the left-hander and they burned him repeatedly with it. Sabathia is also paying for a dip in velocity in his fastball.
- Granderson is struggling at the plate and it may be a byproduct of rushing through his rehab in just five games. Granderson was 0-for-4 with a strikeout and he did not get a ball out of the infield. He is 4-for-19 (.211) without a home run and an RBI in five starts.
First baseman Mark Teixeira reported on Monday that he took his first at-bats in a simulated game in Tampa, FL, and he was 1-for-2 with a double and a walk. It was the first at-bats for Teixeira since he tore the sheath in his right wrist in March. Teixiera is hoping to play in his first game of the season by June 1 but that timetable may be a bit too optimistic. . . . Both Youkilis (back) and Alex Rodriguez (hip) took ground balls and batting practice at the team's spring complex on Monday as both rehab their injuries. Manager Joe Girardi said that Youkilis likely will not be activated before the Yankees return home in a week. Though Rodriguez was able to take ground balls at third base on Monday, his timetable has not changed. He is expected back some time after the All-Star break. . . . The Yankees entered the day with a all-time major-league best 18-0 record in one-run games this season and they were within two outs of losing their first one-run game. But Hafner's homer and Wells' RBI double allowed them to extend the mark to 19 games.
The Yankees will continue their three-game road series with the Orioles on Tuesday.
Right-hander Phil Hughes (2-3, 5.88 ERA) will start for the Yankees. Hughes will have to better on Tuesday because he is coming off what he called his worst major-league start on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners. Hughes lasted only two-thirds of an inning and gave up seven runs on six hits and two walks. He is 6-5 with 5.47 ERA lifetime against the Orioles.
Baltimore is countering with right-hander Miguel Gonzalez (2-2, 4.58 ERA). Gonzalez is being activated from the 15-day disabled list after he sustained a troublesome blister on his right thumb. He is 2-1 with a 2.75 ERA in his career against the Yankees.
Game-time will be 7:05 p.m. EDT and the game will be telecast nationally by the MLB Network and locally by MY9.
Rain Washes Away Yankees-Blue Jays Series Finale
BLUE JAYS AT YANKEES (Postponed – Rain)
The finale of the three-game weekend series between Toronto and New York at Yankees Stadium was washed away by a deluge of morning rain on Sunday.
The Yankees had won the first two games of the series and they were poised for a sweep of the last-place Blue Jays.
Manager Joe Girardi announced that Sunday's scheduled starter, left-hander CC Sabathia, will open the Yankees' three-game road series in Baltimore on Monday against the Orioles. Right-hander Phil Hughes will pitch the second game on Tuesday and right-hander Hiroki Kuroda will pitch in the finale on Wednesday.
Vidal Nuno, who had been scheduled to replace Andy Pettitte in the rotation with a start on Tuesday, will pitch out of the bullpen for the next few days and instead will make a start on Saturday in St. Petersburg, FL, against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Blue Jays are scheduled to return to Yankee Stadium to play the Yankees in the three-gamer series that begins on Aug. 20 and both teams do have an open date on Aug. 19. However, no official makeup date has been announced.
The Yankees remain 27-16 and in first place in the American League East. However, the Boston Red Sox were able to climb within a half-game of the Yankees in second place.
First baseman Mark Teixeira has been able to participate in tee-and-toss batting practice but he not been given clearance to begin taking live batting practice or playing in simulated games. Teixeira, who has been on the 60-day disabled list with a partially torn sheath in his right wrist, is eligible to reinstated to the active roster on June 1. But that date is looking a bit murky right now.
The Yankees will make their first visit this season to Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore on Monday for a three-game series with the Orioles.
Sabathia (4-3, 3.19 ERA) will get the start coming off a no-decision against the Seattle Mariners last Tuesday in which he gave up three-runs (two earned) in 6 1/3 innings. Of all the teams in the American League, Sabathia has had more success against the O's. He is 17-4 with a 3.03 ERA lifetime against them and that does not include two victories in the 2012 American League Division Series.
Sabathia will be opposed by former Yankee right-hander Freddy Garcia (0-2, 5.51 ERA). Garcia surrendered four runs on seven hits and two walks in just 2 2/3 innings Wednesday in a loss to the San Diego Padres. Garcia is 5-4 with a 4.09 ERA in the past 10 seasons against the Yankees.
Game-time will be 7:05 p.m. ET and the game will be telecast nationally by ESPN and locally by the YES Network.
Yank Rookies Nuno, Warren Hang Zeros On Tribe
To borrow from the sage philosopher Forrest Gump, the 2013 version of the New York Yankees are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get.
Rookie left-hander Vidal Nuno pitched five very impressive shutout innings in his first major-league start and the Yankees sent 10-men to the plate in a six-run seventh inning as New York hung up a goose egg on Cleveland to split a doubleheader at Progressive Field on Monday.
Nuno (1-0) held the Tribe to just three hits and three walks while he struck out three batters in what was only his second major-league appearance.
All the more impressive was that Nuno pitched with only a run in support of his effort and that came in the first inning on some sloppy infield play by the Indians.
Jayson Nix stroked a one-out single off right-hander Trevor Bauer (1-2) and Robinson Cano rolled what could have been a double-play ball to Carlos Santana at first base. However, Santana was unable to field it cleanly and then threw behind Bauer covering first for an error that allowed Nix to advance to third.
Vernon Wells then hit what also could have been an inning-ending double play ball to Asdrubal Cabrera at short. Cabrera flipped to second to retire Cano but Mike Aviles' relay tailed wide of first as Nix scored an unearned run.
But Nuno made that run hold up through five innings when he left after having thrown 89 pitches, 14 more than manager Joe Girardi set as his original limit.
With the bullpen depleted because of the unavailability of setup man David Robertson and closer Mariano Rivera, Girardi turned to rookie Adam Warren. The 26-year-old right-hander responded with four innings of shutout relief to earn his first major-league save.
Warren gave up just two hits, did not walk a batter and he struck out four.
Meanwhile, the Yankees chased Bauer and left-hander Nick Hagadone in the seventh with a six-run explosion that turned what was a nail-biter into a laugher.
Rookie catcher Austin Romine keyed the rally by following a leadoff double by rookie Corban Joseph with a one-out RBI double that sent Bauer to the showers.
Two batters later, Nix scored Romine with a bloop single to shallow right-field off Hagadone following a walk to Brett Gardner.
Wells added a two-out RBI single and Lyle Overbay capped the six-run rally with a two-run double to the wall in right-center.
Despite the loss in the first game, the Yankees have now won seven of their past eight games and they improved their season ledger to 24-14. They remain a full game ahead of the second-place Baltimore Orioles in the American League East. The Indians fell to 21-16.
- It was a great game for a pair of Scranton RailRiders pitchers. Nuno and Warren combined to give up no runs on five hits and three walks in nine innings. Nuno, 25, was a 48th round draft in 2009 of the Indians and was released after the 2010 season. The Yankees spotted him pitching for the independent Frontier League's Washington Wild Things in 2011 and signed him. He recorded a 2.10 ERA in two seasons in stints from Class A to Double A before winning the James P. Dawson Award this spring as the team's top rookie this spring.
- Warren surprisingly won a spot in the bullpen as a middle reliever despite an 0-2 record and a 8.15 ERA in spring training. But Warren is now 1-0 with a 1.45 ERA in 18 2/3 innings covering seven appearances. He has yielded only three runs on 14 hits and six walks while striking out 15 batters.
- Wells and Overbay both drove in a pair of runs in the game as "The Replacements" continue to produce with a lot of the Yankees' star players on the disabled list. Wells is hitting .299 with nine home runs and 22 RBIs. Overbay is hitting .252 with six home runs and 22 RBIs.
Nothing to complain about here because the Yankees won with two rookie pitchers combining for a shutout and they played the game with two rookies (Joseph and Romine) and what amounts to the team's fourth-string shortstop in 30-year-old journeyman Alberto Gonzalez in the lineup.
The Yankees on Monday optioned outfielder Brennan Boesch to Scranton and promoted right-hander Brett Marshall from the RailRiders to bolster the bullpen for the second game of the doubleheader against the Indians. Boesch, 27, was 1-for-4 after starting in right-field in the first game and he was hitting .209 with two home runs and five RBIs in 43 at-bats over 20 games. Marshall, 22, was 2-2 with a 4.60 ERA in six starts with Scranton. . . . After the second game the Yankees optioned Joseph back to Scranton. The 24-year-old rookie infielder was a combined 1-for-6 in the two games. His double in the seventh inning started the Yankees' six-run explosion and the hit was his first in the major leagues.
The Yankees will be home on Tuesday to open a homestand beginning with a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners.
Lefty ace CC Sabathia (4-3, 3.23 ERA) will get the ball in the opener for the Yankees. Sabathia pitched four shutout innings against the Colorado Rockies on Thursday and he was in line for a victory. However, a two-hour rain delay forced him to end his outing early. Sabathia is 12-4 with a 2.46 ERa in his career against Seattle.
The Mariners will counter with their ace right-hander Felix Hernandez (5-2, 1.53 ERA). Hernandez has given up just three earned runs over his past fiver starts. He is 8-5 with a 3.08 ERA lifetime against the Yankees and 4-1 with a 1.13 ERA at Yankee Stadium.
Game-time will be 7:05 p.m. EDT and the game will be telecast by the YES Network.
Cano Collects 1,500th Hit, Homers To Spur Yankees
With the Yankees limited in the amount of offense they can produce their pitching becomes even more important. On a day when their ace CC Sabathia could only go four innings because of a one hour and 59 minute rain delay, five relievers stepped up to shut down the Rockies in the final five innings.
Robinson Cano sparked the offense by collecting his 1,500th career hit before the rain delay and he extended the Yankees' lead to 3-1 with a solo home run after the rain delay as New York took the three-game road series against Colorado in front of a rain-drenched paid crowd of 40,972 at Coors Field on Thursday.
Adam Warren (1-0), who came on in the fifth inning in relief of Sabathia, pitched 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief to get credit for his first major-league victory.
Rockies left-hander Jeff Francis (1-3), who gave up two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three in four innings, took the loss.
Mariano Rivera came on to pitch a scoreless ninth inning to post his 13th save in 13 chances this season. It is the longest consecutive save streak for Rivera since he saved his first 28 opportunities in 2008.
The Yankees took advantage of a one-out walk to Jayson Nix by Francis in the first inning to take an early lead.
Nix advanced to second on a slow bounce-out by Cano and he scored an RBI single by Vernon Wells, who was 5-for-12 (.417) with a homer and three RBIs in the series.
The Rockies tied it in the bottom of the inning when Troy Tulowitzki laced a one-out single to advance Dexter Fowler to third and Carlos Gonzalez launched a sacrifice fly to left that scored Fowler just ahead of the tag of catcher Chris Stewart on a perfect throw from left-field by Wells.
The Yankees reclaimed the lead in the fourth when former Rockie Chris Nelson led off with a double to left and Lyle Overbay advanced him to third on an infield groundout. Stewart then sent a deep fly ball to right-center that scored Nelson without a throw.
Then, as they have this entire series in Denver, the elements became downright nasty after Sabathia dispatched the Rockies in order in the bottom of the fourth. In fact, Sabathia retired the final 11 batters he faced before the long rain delay ended his outing early.
Sabathia gave up just the one run on one hit and a walk and he struck out two batters.
Right-hander Adam Ottavino replaced Francis in the top of the fifth after the rain delay and with two out Cano launched a 2-0 hanging breaking ball over the wall in right field for his ninth home run of the season and his 20th RBI, which both lead the team.
The Yankees bullpen took over from there.
Warren pitched a perfect fifth inning but walked Fowler and Tulowitzki in succession with two out in the sixth. But Boone Logan ended the threat by striking out Gonzalez swinging.
Rookie right-hander Preston Claiborne then ran into difficulty in the seventh with two out when Jordan Pacheco and Josh Rutledge hit back-to-back singles. However, David Robertson came in to strike out pinch-hitter Todd Helton swinging.
Robertson walked Young to begin the eighth and Young later stole second. But Robertson got out the inning by striking out Fowler, retiring Tulowitzki on an infield grounder and striking out Gonzalez swinging.
Rivera then closed out the ninth. The bullpen collectively gave up no runs on three hits and three walks while fanning three in five innings of work.
With the victory the Yankees improved to 20-13 to climb into a three-way tie with the Boston Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles for a share of first place in the American League East. The Rockies dropped to 19-15.
- Cano entered the series 0-for-8 and was retired in his first at-bat before his milestone single off Francis in the third inning. Cano then got to Ottavino with his ninth home run of the season. Though the Yankees have been ravaged by injuries that have limited the offense, Cano has been providing solid production early in the season.
- Wells also was 2-for-4 and he also drove in a run. He had three RBIs in the series and he has 16 overall. Manager Joe Girardi is going to be hard-pressed to find at-bats for Wells when Curtis Granderson returns this month, which is a shame because Wells looks like he has recaptured his old All-Star form at the plate.
- Everyone knows what a weapon Rivera has been his entire career. But he is making in huge statement in what will be his final season. Rivera is perfect in saves and he has given up only three runs on 12 hits and two walks with 12 strikeouts in 14 1/3 innings. His ERA is 1.88.
You can't complain about this one. After getting shut out on only four hits in the opener, the Yankees silenced a powerful Colorado offense in a hitters' park by allowing just three runs on eight hits in the final two games. They just shut them down and won with timely hitting. They also took a share of first place. Bravo!
Yankees shortstop Eduardo Nunez was held out of a third straight game due to nagging tightness in his left ribcage. Heavy rain before the game prevented Nunez from being able to get on the field to work out and take some swings to test the injury. Girardi said he hopes Nunez might be available to play on Friday but he remains day-to-day. . . . Girardi did tell reporters that he believes reliever Joba Chamberlain will be activated on Tuesday when he is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list. Chamberlain was sidelined with a mild right oblique strain.
The Yankees will continue their eight-game road trip in Kansas City with a weekend three-game series against the Royals.
Right-hander Phil Hughes (1-2, 3.60 ERA) will open the series for the Yankees. Hughes is coming off his best outing of the season on Saturday when he blanked the Oakland Athletics over eight innings on four hits while punched out nine batters. Hughes is 4-1 with a 5.51 ERA in his career against the Royals.
The Royals will counter with former Rays right-hander Wade Davis (2-2, 4.75 ERA). Davis held the Chicago White Sox to one run over six innings on Sunday but he did not get a decision. He is 2-3 with a 3.96 ERA against the Yankees.
Game-time will be 8:10 p.m. EDT and the game will be telecast nationally by the MLB Network and locally by the YES Network.

Utah (January 31, 2013)
Is it your turn to host the big game this year?
As you pull together the final touches for the best party ever for friends and family, it's a good idea to educate yourself about your responsibilities as you welcome your party revelers. While we intend for our guests to eat, drink, and be merry, sometimes accidents happen and that can be a costly headache for a homeowner.
"There are a variety of situations or accidents that can occur that could put a serious damper on your party," explains Angela Thorpe, Media Relations for State Farm. "What if someone slips and falls, requires medical attention, or has too much to drink, then drives, and causes an accident? These situations are unpleasant to think about when planning a party, but homeowners should always make sure they are prepared for worst case scenarios."
Before hosting a party, talk to your State Farm agent, broker, or insurance provider about your homeowner insurance policy. They will help you determine if you have adequate liability coverage.
Most homeowners policies cover bodily injury, property damage, and will provide for legal defense should a homeowner get sued in civil court as a result of an occurrence that is covered by the policy.
Your agent can also help you determine if an umbrella policy is needed. Umbrella policies (also called Personal Liability Umbrella Policies) offer an additional level of protection beyond the limits of a homeowner policy.
Keep in mind that each state and municipality have various laws that can affect your legal responsibilities; when in doubt contact a legal expert to see how these may affect you.
Here are some tips for homeowners who are planning a party:

Barking dog sound effect plus angry real dog in shed equals perfect storm
June 21, 2012 , 4:09 PM by Hayley Crane
Richard took calls on what your reaction is to unexpected noises. We had calls ranging from s'truth to hello, but the most entertaining call came from a man sitting with his dog in a shed.
Let's just say Steve's dog, appropriately named Carnage, wasn't a fan of Richards barking dog sound effect. You've got to make your own fun, right?
