    Uh-oh

    Alex Graham has been pitchin for Columbus against the Charlotte Knights. Last time he pitched, he struck out 8 but gave up 3 runs in 5 innings. He has a season ERA of 0.90 though, so he's been pitchin well in AAA. Hopefully our guys can get on top of him early.

    Wilderness Travel

    Back when I was in High School we went camping quite a lot, every year. I hated it, I'm definitely not a country person, I'm easily a city person.

    Tallest 33 year old

    AT THE age of 33, Leonid Stadnik wishes he would stop growing. He's already 2.53 metres. Recent measurements show that Stadnik is already 17cm taller than Radhouane Charbib of Tunisia, listed by the Guinness Book Of World Records as the tallest living man. He's also gaining on the 2.72m Robert Wadlow, the tallest man in history. Stadnik's height keeps him confined to a tiny village 210km west of Kiev, the capital of his native Ukraine. "Taking a public bus for me is the same as getting into a car's boot for a normal person," he said. Stadnik's unusual growth began after a brain operation at age 14, which is believed to have stimulated his pituitary gland. Since then, life just keeps getter harder. Although he once was able to work as a veterinarian at a cattle farm, he had to quit three years ago after his feet were frostbitten because he wasn't able to afford proper shoes for his 43cm feet. This month, he finally got a good pair, paid for by some local businessmen. Stadnik sleeps on two beds joined lengthwise and moves in a crouch through the small one-story house that he shares with his mother Halyna. A neighbour describes him as the "most unselfish, diligent man of a pure soul". His friends treat him with the same sort of soft good humour. They're trying to organise a trip for him to the Carpathian Mountains to show him that "there's something in the world taller than you," the neighbour said.
  12. WHILE countless clinical studies around the world show that an active sex life contributes to the average person's well-being and health, one prominent Chinese doctor is warning it can lead to sterility. Li Bing, a senior gynaecologist at the Guangzhou No 2 People's Hospital in southern Guangdong province, believes that sex among teenagers may contribute to increasing sterility among young Chinese women, the China Daily reported Tuesday. Li claims that because more young women are having sex in China's increasingly open society, it is leading to greater pregnancy rates, which in turn results in more abortions. Young women who have an abortion in their teens usually suffer physically and mentally, which can result in sterility when they grow up, Li said. Health experts widely acknowledge that patients who undergo repeated abortions can become sterile. According to a recent study cited by the newspaper, more than one-third of the cases of sterility found in the province were among women connected with abortions. The report did not provide ages of the women nor the number of abortions they had, but Li said females under 18 now accounted for more than seven percent of the total number of women seeking abortions in Guangzhou. At the same time, another recent survey claimed that more than 20 per cent of couples in Guangzhou were suffering from sterility and the trend was growing, the paper said. Women are not the only group at risk, Li said. Too much sex or masturbation at an early age may be behind a sterility "trend" among ever younger males in Guangdong, Li added. The youngest man found to be having sexual difficulties was 19. It was unclear whether the man had been masturbating and/or having sex too often but Li said this may have led to his impotency. In previous years, the report said, most men diagnosed with similar symptoms were more than 30 years old. About 30 per cent of men in Guangdong also suffered impotence or premature ejaculation, the paper said. According to numerous international studies, premature ejaculation is a psychologically related sexual dysfunction primarily found in males aged 18 to 30. Some 30 to 70 per cent of males encounter the problem at some time during their sexual lives.
  13. A GROUP of 10 terror suspects arrested in Britain overnight were planning an attack on Manchester United's stadium during this weekend's blockbuster against Liverpool, according to reports. Reports from the The Sun newspaper claim arrests made overnight by Greater Manchester Police had almost certainly foiled a suicide bombing attack at Old Trafford, Britain's biggest sporting stadium, which holds 67,721 people. Intelligence chiefs said several al-Qaeda extremists had planned to blow themselves up in separate parts of the ground during the match and had already bought tickets for the sell-out match. "If successful, any such attack would have caused absolute carnage. Thousands of people could have been killed," a police source said. Some of soccer's most expensive names, including Australia's Liverpool star Harry Kewell, are scheduled to play the match. England's Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, Wes Brown and Emile Heskey are also due to play, so too other international stars such as Ruud van Nistelrooy, Luis Saha, Cristiano Ronaldo, Roy Keane and Ryan Giggs. The Sun's sister broadsheet newspaper The Times reported that security services were believed to have mounted electronic surveillance which suggested a possible attack aimed at a "large gathering of people". A spokesman for the Home Office refused to comment on the reports, but said: "We have always said that we would not hesitate to issue a warning if it is the best to protect the public in respect of a specific and credible threat. "Advice would be issued immediately if the public needed to take specific action which could make them safer." The arrests overnight continued a crackdown by British police on terrorist suspects. Seven of the latest suspects were arrested in the Manchester area and included one woman. The others were detained in Staffordshire, South Yorkshire and the West Midlands. Those held were described as being of North African and Iraqi Kurdish descent and were detained under the Terrorism Act passed in 2000 on suspicion of the "commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism", police said. Dave Whatton, Assistant Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, said the co-ordinated raids - which involved more than 400 officers - were part of an ongoing operation related to terrorist threats. "This is the first action that the (local) public have become aware of, as it is overt, but nothing should be read into that," he said. He added that the suspects would be questioned "as part of the ongoing inquiry". On March 30 this year, a similar police swoop in London and its surrounding areas collected nine people under the Terrorism Act and uncovered seized a large quantity of ammonium nitrate fertiliser - a popular bomb-making ingredient. Those raids were the biggest in Britain since the discovery in January 2003 of traces of the deadly poison ricin in a north London apartment. Four police forces - Greater Manchester, West Midlands, South Yorkshire and Staffordshire - participated in last night's operation. Witnesses said one of the raids targeted a flat - occupied by a single man for about a year - situated above a kebab shop owned by Iraqi Kurds on Upper Brook Street near the centre of Manchester. "I asked the police what had happened but they gave me no information," Imad Alsabbagh, the 46-year-old owner of a Syrian restaurant next door, said. Britain's most senior police officer, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir John Stevens, warned of the “inevitability” of a terrorist attack in London after the March 11 train bombings in Madrid which killed 191 people. Similar fears were expressed by Manchester's police chief Michael Todd, who last week said "the threat is high", the Manchester Evening News reported. During the weekend, the leader of a militant Islamic group told a Portuguese newspaper that sympathisers of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda terror network were preparing large-scale attacks in London. Omar Bakri Mohammed, part of a London-based group known as al-Muhajiroun, told Publico that "a very well-organised group which calls itself al-Qaeda Europe" was "on the verge of launching a big operation". Six of the nine men arrested on March 30 appeared in a London court last week accused of being involved in a plot to build a bomb, while the other three were released on bail. A 10th man was apprehended a day earlier in the Canadian capital Ottawa in relation to the same alleged conspiracy.

    Jim-Jim

    Probably does that to every coach and member of his team as well. When they try to giv him an instruction, he just doesn't listen.
  17. I think Cincinatti did pretty good out of this. They WERE goin to trade him to Oakland for a 3rd, but when Denver traded up to 17, it looks like they are goin to take Stephan Jackson, who the Pats wanted. So they Pats decided to get Dillon for a 2nd instead. Don't think Belicheck will put up with Dillon's BS either.
  18. Jags may hav to take Reggie Williams at #9 now, if Roy Williams doesn't fall to them.
  19. Mayb he saw the nutritional value of a Big Mac while he was eatin it and died in shock?
  20. He'll probably get a chance to fix that in this series. Let's hope he performs.
  21. But does Maggs affect a game like Colon did? Maggs could go 4-4 with 4 Homers and we still could lose if we didn't pitch good.
