Dejan Kravic's tip in off of broken play earns Texas Tech a spot in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament
It sure wasn't a perfect play and it really wasn't the play that interim coach Chris Walker drew up in the Texas Tech huddle.
The only thing that mattered was the end result. Dejan Kravic's tip with 0.4 seconds remaining gave Tech a win over West Virginia.
The Red Raiders (11-19) advanced to face top-seeded Kansas at 2 p.m. Thursday. The Jayhawks won both regular-season meetings by a combined 51 points.
Tied at 69, Tech took time out with 13 seconds to go and put the ball in the hands of freshman guard Josh Gray. His attempted shot off a drive was blocked into the corner by West Virginia's Aaric Murray.
Jamal Williams quickly launched a 3-pointer that rimmed out. Kravic, a 6-11 junior from Canada, was all alone underneath for the tip.
"I thought time was already expired, but I just put it up and made the shot in time," said Kravic, whose experience with buzzer-beaters was pretty much non-existent.
"I was telling my teammates, you always see that on TV, but you don't expect it to happen to you."
The win could also help the candidacy of Walker to be hired on a full-time basis. Athletic director Kirby Hocutt said Tuesday that Walker will be part of the search process.
Tech had led Texas by 17 points Saturday before falling in overtime. This time, the Red Raiders held on after blowing a 14-point lead.
Jaye Crockett topped five Tech players in double figures with 18 points.
Terry Henderson led West Virginia (13-19) with 12 points.

I have to write a C++ program that will sort an array, check for duplicates, and delete the duplicates:

I can load the array and have found several examples of how to sort, but cannot find out how to compare as well as change the array size or index. Any help would be appreciated.

Bailey shuts down D-backs to close out Spring Training
Right-hander throws one-hitter in six innings; offense backs him up with 16 hits
By Tyler Emerick / MLB.com
PHOENIX -- A trio of Reds pitchers held Arizona to just four baserunners Saturday, while the Cincinnati offense pounded out 16 hits as the Reds shutout the D-backs, 9-0, at Chase Field in the final tune-up for both clubs before Opening Day.
Homer Bailey tossed the first six clean innings for Cincinnati, while Justin Freeman and Curtis Partch finished off the game.
Wade Miley got the start for the D-backs, allowing nine hits and four runs over six frames. Randall Delgado followed him by throwing the next 2 1/3 innings, giving up three runs on three hits.
Delgado was competing for the fifth starter job in the Arizona rotation alongside Patrick Corbin. With Saturday's results, the right-hander finished his spring surrendering 14 earned runs over 19 innings of work.
Joey Votto put the Reds on the scoreboard first in the third inning with a two-out RBI double to score Bailey, who singled to lead off the frame. After the next batter walked, Jay Bruce and Todd Frazier tacked on two more runs with RBI singles, giving Cincinnati a 3-0 lead.
Two innings later, Ryan Ludwick extended the advantage to four by driving in Devin Lohman with a sacrifice fly. Ray Chang and Chris Heisey capped off the scoring for the Reds by driving in five more runs in the final two innings.
Up next for Reds: On Saturday the Reds fly back to Cincinnati, where they will take Sunday off in preparation for Opening Day against the Angels. Festivities Monday will begin at noon with the 94th Findlay Market Parade, featuring George Foster as the grand marshal. Then, at the stadium, Joe Torre will throw out the ceremonial first pitch to Brandon Phillips. The game will start at 4:10 p.m. ET, with Johnny Cueto taking on Jered Weaver.

CLEVELAND — There would be no buzzer-beating shot or tears for Central Michigan's players this time. They weren't going to allow anyone to break their hearts again.
"We didn't even want it to be that close," forward Crystal Bradford said.
And the Chippewas made sure it wasn't.
Bradford scored 13 points with 10 rebounds, Jessica Schroll scored 14 and Central Michigan showed great balance and depth to beat Akron, 86-68, today for its first Mid-American Conference title and NCAA berth since 1984.
The Chippewas (21-11) lost to Eastern Michigan in the title game last year on a basket with 1.5 seconds left. Central Michigan used that painful loss as motivation all season, and the Chippewas played a demanding schedule to prepare for March.
"I wanted to put 1.5 seconds on T-shirts," coach Sue Guevara said. "This was the goal. To get to this tournament and win because it was such a heartbreaking loss last year."
The Chippewas upset top-seeded Toledo in the semifinals and pulled away from the Zips (23-9) in the second half to win the championship and the league's automatic NCAA bid. Jalisa Olive and Brandie Baker scored 14 apiece and Taylor Johnson added 13 for Central Michigan.
Niki DiGuilio made four three-pointers in the final 12 minutes for the Chippewas, who will be making just their third appearance in the NCAA tournament and expect to play more than one game.
"You can't scout us," Bradford said. "If you try to stop one player, someone else steps up."
Hanna Luburgh scored 19 to lead the Zips. MAC player of the year Rachel Tecca had just 11 on 4 of 12 shooting as she struggled against Central Michigan's interior defense.
"They were the better team," said Akron coach Jodi Kest. "Anytime we play an athletic team it's not a good matchup for us. We were down by four at the half, but they made some shots and hit the boards."
Schroll added seven rebounds and six assists before injuring her right arm in the final minutes. After going to the locker room for medical treatment, she returned to the bench with her arm wrapped to take part in the postgame trophy presentations and help her teammates cut down the nets.
Schroll said she is scheduled to get X-rays.
With the game in hand in the final minutes, Bradford, who was named the tournament's MVP, danced in a circle on the sideline. When the final horn sounded, the Chippewas stormed the floor as Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" played over the loudspeakers inside Quicken Loans Arena.
The Chippewas spent the offseason reliving those final seconds in last year's championship and were determined not to let it happen to them again. Guevara loaded up the schedule with games against Saint Joseph's, Green Bay, Notre Dame, Purdue, Florida and Texas. It prepared her team for the MAC, and except for a couple of stumbles, the Chippewas were among the league's elite.
At one point, Guevara questioned her own judgment about making her team play so many tough games.
"I remember thinking, 'What are you doing? Are you a crazy woman?'" she said. "But it helped us."
Leading by four at halftime, Central Michigan began to wear down the Zips in the second half with their inside-outside attack.
Baker and Johnson scored layups as the Chippewas opened a 54-44 lead. Olive then made a steal and drilled a dagger three-pointer to push Central's lead to 13.
"She didn't respect my three, so I shot it," Olive said.
The Zips did their best to hang around, but DiGuilio's three-pointers kept them at a distance and Guevara was able to empty her bench in the final minutes.
Akron was making its first appearance in the final, and will have to wait for its next shot at making the NCAA field.
Central Michigan knows what that's like.
The Chippewas waited a season to wash away those 1.5 seconds.
Asked for her thoughts as she watched the final numbers dissolve from the clock, Bradford couldn't find the right words.
"Unexplainable," she said. "This just shows you that everything happens for a reason."

text: So I was looking into fast-food fish sandwiches. And neither Wendy's cod fillet nor Burger King's Alaskan fish sandwich have cheese. It's basically just the fish, lettuce, and tartar sauce. Which makes sense, because who puts cheese with fried fish fillets? I mean, you don't associate fish and chips with cheese. Yet McDonald's puts slices of cheese in place of lettuce. Their sandwich of course came first, long before the other ones, but the "fish with cheese" combination is such a weird one that I wondered if folks knew where that came from.

Oiler assassin Jamie Benn looks to continue hot streak against Edmonton
Stars vs. Oilers
8:30 p.m. Saturday, Rexall Place, FSSW, KTCK-AM (1310)
Ryan Smyth vs. Brenden Morrow
The two aging warriors once were at the center of this battle, and now have to pick around the fringes. However, each is capable of coming up with a big play, and each is trying to atone for earlier sins Smyth has two points in 12 games, while Morrow has five points in 12 games. It could end up being an interesting match-up on the ice.
Key stat:
14: That's how many points Jamie Benn has in 11 career games against the Oilers. He has scored nine goals and added five assists while averaging 16:27 in ice time. He also is plus-10 in that span. Benn had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 OT win in Edmonton last Wednesday.
Edmonton: D Andy Sutton (knee), LW Ryan Jones (eye), C Shawn Horcoff (hand) and C Anton Lander (foot) are out.
Dallas: LW Ray Whitney (foot) is out.
Dallas is coming off a 3-1 win against Anaheim Friday and also coming off its first three-day break of the compressed season…Edmonton won a 3-1 game in Columbus on Sunday, and is 1-2-3 in its last six games…Dallas is 54-12-7 against the Oilers since moving from Minnesota in 1993and has won five straight…Kari Lehtonen is expected to be in goal. He is 8-2-0 vs. the Oilers in his career with a 2.10 GAA and .927 save percentage…Edmonton placed forward Darcy Hordichuk on waivers and recalled forward Chris VandeVelde…The Stars recalled forward Antoine Roussel from the AHL…Edmonton could go with 40-year-old Nikolai Khabibulin in net. He is 17-20-1 in his career against the Stars with a 2.78 GAA and a .901 save percentage.

In Touch with Prairie Living
November 2005
By Michael M. Miller
Germans from Russia Heritage Collection
North Dakota State University Libraries, Fargo
The Germans from Russia Heritage Collection (GRHC) at the NDSU Libraries in Fargo reaches out to prairie families and former Dakotans. In various ways, it affirms the heritage of Germans from Russia as an important part of the northern plains culture.
Thanksgiving regards to readers of this monthly column first published in November, 1996. We appreciate the many fine comments from readers.
My visit to Medicine Hat, Alberta, late in September for the Festival of Germans from Russia was a most rewarding experience. The festival was well-organized, well-attended and most impressive. There was a large attendance of persons with Bessarabian, Black Sea, Mennonite and Volhynian German ancestry. The Medicine Hat area, 170 miles southeast of Calgary, was mostly settled by Bessarabian German families. The next Festival of Germans from Russia will be October 13-15, 2006, Leader, Saskatchewan, and then Medicine Hat in 2007.
I met people with family names of Babitzke, Barth, Bischoff, Brost, Deis, Diegel, Dorscher, Ensminger, Fitterer, Friesz, Giesinger, Gross, Hirsch, Hofer, Huber, Janke, Kambeitz, Koch, Kopp, Kaut, Kuntz, Lang, Maser, Mildenberger, Mogck, Neubauer, Ost, Rath, Ruff, Schlinker, Schwanke, Seiler, Usselman, Weigel, Weiss and Ziegler.
The ancestors of these families immigrated from the former German villages in South Russia and Bessarabia: including Albota, Alexanderhilf, Alt Danzig, Alt Postal, Arzis, Bergdorf, Brienne, Eichendorf, Friedenstal, Freudental, Glueckstal, Gnadental, Grossliebental, Gueldendorf, Kassel, Katzbach, Kloestitz, Kleinliebental, Krasna, Kulm, Mannheim, Mariental, Neuberg, Neudorf, Paris, Selz, Speyer, Tarutino and Wittenberg.
We are pleased to announce the following public program called the Dakota Memories Oral History Project: November 13, 2005, Gackle: American Legion Hall, Main Street, 2 pm. These programs are free and open to the general public, being sponsored by the North Dakota Humanities Council, the NDSU Development Foundation, and the NDSU Libraries, Fargo.
Presenters will be: Jessica Clark, coordinator of this project; Tom Isern, NDSU Department of History; Kimberly Porter, UND Department of History; and Michael Miller, NDSU Libraries. For further information, go to the GRHC website at "Oral History Project".
Jessica Clark writes: "Every interview has been enlightening and full of wonderful childhood memories. I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting and visiting with everyone in the Streeter, Gackle Ashley and Wishek areas. I have learned a lot about growing up German-Russian in North Dakota through a variety of childhood memories and different perspectives. At the Wishek and Gackle programs, we will share their childhood and other memories of the interviewees. The new book, "The Old God Still Lives: German Villagers in Czarist and Soviet Ukraine Write Their American Relatives, 1915-1924", by Ronald J. Vossler, teaching at UND, Grand Forks and a Wishek, ND native. These letters chronicle a substantial and on-going correspondence between the ethnic Germans who left Ukraine between 1873 and 1914, and who sent much money, food and clothing to those wishing that they had left South Russia also.
There is much in this new book for persons who wish to learn more about villages which were the source of one of North Dakota's most distinct, and most numerous, ethnic groups. There are 150 letters translated from the old German script to English, published in five German language newspapers in North Dakota. Families receiving these letters include: Boschee, Morlock, Wanner, Schauer, Dockter, Bender, Ketterling, Ackermann, Doerr, Kurtz, Bohlander, Schock, Mindt, Wiest, Schoepp, Schaible, Wacker, Bauer, Kessler, Frank, Schaeffer, Rohrich, Wolf, Heinle, Stockburger, Hieb, Spitzer, Huber, Rueb, Sauter, Ammon, Schweigert, Rohrbach and Wentz.
GRHC has published, "Researcher's Guide to McPherson County, South Dakota Cemeteries", which summarizes information from over 100 family plots, gravesites and cemeteries. McPherson County between Eureka and Aberdeen was a key destination for many immigrants from South Russia to settle in the Dakotas. The book contains a historical overview, photo postcards, names and locations of cemeteries, data of individuals buried and maps to the cemetery or gravesite.
A new DVD is available combining three documentaries: Schmeckfest: Food Traditions of the Germans from Russia and Recipes from Grandma's Kitchen: Food Traditions of the Germans from Russia, Volume I and II.
The DVD documentary and performance CD, "A Soulful Sound: Music of the Germans from Russia" are available. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, thousands of German-speaking peoples established major German settlements in Russia, first along the Volga River in the north, and secondly along the Black Sea in South Russia and nearby Bessarabia. Eventually, many migrated yet again, this time to North and South America. Throughout their travels, these Germans - now Germans from Russia - maintained their traditional religious music, their lullabies and folk songs, as well as their vocal and instrumental music.
Prairie Public Broadcasting has produced a DVD which includes these two award-winning documentaries: "The Germans from Russia: Children of the Steppe, Children of the Prairie" and "Prairie Crosses, Prairie Voices: Iron Crosses of the Great Plains."
The 12th Journey to the Homeland Tour, sponsored by the NDSU Libraries is scheduled for May 23 - June 2, 2006. The tour includes Budapest, Hungary; Odessa, Ukraine and the former German villages; Stuttgart, Germany; and Alsace, France.
For further information about Germans from Russia heritage, donations to GRHC including books, documentaries, CDs, DVDs, cookbooks and tours, contact Michael M. Miller, NDSU Libraries, PO Box 5599, Fargo, ND 58105-5599 (Tel: 701-231-8416; E-mail: email@example.com; GRHC website: library.ndsu.edu/grhc).

Cameron hails EU budget cut 'first'
David Cameron has hailed a real-terms cut in the European Union's next seven-year budget.
The Prime Minister said the British public "can be proud" that the credit limit for Brussels spending had been brought down for the first time in the history of the EU.
After hours of tortuous negotiations, the latest EU summit broke up with an agreement that spending for 2014/2020 would be 908 billion euro (£773 billion).
Mr Cameron said spending for 2014-2020 would be 24 billion euro lower than during the last seven-year period. "I think the British public can be proud that we have cut the seven-year credit card limit for the European Union for the first time ever," he told an end-of-summit press conference. Mr Cameron said the final deal was 80 billion euro (£67 billion) lower than the original proposal on the summit table in November, when talks collapsed without agreement.
The European Commission had pressed for a seven-year budget increase from the current 943 billion euro (£797 billion) for the financial period 2007-14 to 988 billion euro (£835 billion). But hours of hard talking got that down to 908.4 billion euro (£768.2 billion) - an overall reduction in spending for 2014-20 of 35 billion euro (£29 billion). If a deal had failed this time, and the EU budget had to be frozen at 2012 levels until a deal could be done, the saving would have been less, at 24 billion euro (£20 billion).
What resulted was a "budget for growth", boosting energy projects, research and development, while still helping poorer member states - all the while leaving the British budget rebate intact. "Attempts to undermine the British rebate have been made again and again recently, on every side," said Mr Cameron. "I have fought off these attempts and the rebate is safe."
But he admitted Britain's EU contributions would rise despite the budget cuts and the rebate - because, said the Prime Minister, former Labour PM Tony Blair gave away part of the rebate in a previous budget negotiation, which included giving up the rebate on the parts of the British payment going towards restructuring in poorer member states. That was one reason why it was important for Mr Cameron to cut the overall budget figure - because the lower the maximum, the lower any British increase would be.
Overall, said Mr Cameron, the accord was "good for Britain and for Europe too - good for taxpayers in Britain and Europe". The real-terms cut in the long-term budget was the first since the EU began preparing seven-year spending cycles, and he could "look people in the eye" and declare a good deal. He warned MEPs, who have the power to veto the budget, to approve the package. European Parliament president Martin Schulz has announced the European Parliament vote will be conducted by secret ballot to stop governments pressuring their MEPs to back the deal.
The Prime Minister said it was "slightly baffling" that MEPs would invoke a secret ballot, saying it was "especially important to see what is happening" when politicians deal with money. But he was happy to make the case for the deal in the Commons: "I look forward to making the arguments - and I look forward to Labour's reaction." Asked about claims that he was isolated in Europe, Mr Cameron admitted he had been isolated when he alone rejected a treaty change at a summit 14 months ago - but not now: "Nobody comes to summits wanting to be on their own, having to stand up without allies. That was necessary in December 2011: I could not get the safeguards I wanted (against economic interference in the UK)." He went on: "No one should be frightened about (summit) isolation, but you should always try to work with allies to make sure taxpayers get the best deal".
Shadow chancellor Ed Balls: "At a time when taxes are being raised and services cut at home it cannot be right that the EU budget should rise in line with inflation. We will need to look very closely at the detail in the coming days and weeks, but if today's deal does result in a genuine real terms cut in the EU budget then the Prime Minister will have delivered what Labour and Parliament demanded."

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a way to treat brain disorders. It uses highly focused beams of radiation to target specific areas of the brain. It can also be used on other parts of the body, such as the spine. The beams of radiation destroy the tissue that a neurosurgeon would have removed during an operation.
SRS is used to:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:

Thanks! Totally agree! You explained so well!Fact:There is a big difference in points between a 4T and 3T as a quad is extremely difficult to do while 3T is the lowest ranked triple. Sussessful 4Ts are done by only a handful of skaters whereas any advanced skater can do 3Ts, which are often easily tacked on another jump at will to make a jump combo. Do you accept this fact?
A 4T under rotated by 1/2 turn is classified as 3T, maybe a little over-rotated, but not a 4T. Agree?
-1 or -2 GOE for stepping out or hand down, and -3 GOE plus 1 point deduction for falling (-4 total), agree?
Thus a fall on a fully rotated 4T is higher in skills and points than a stepped out 3T. Only a handful of skaters can fully rotate a quad, falling or not, whereas nobody falls on a 3T in a major competition. The difference in difficulty levels of a 3T and a 4T is just that huge. However, falling on a fully rotated triple is not rewarding or worth more than a successful double in most cases.
Staying on their feet may be prettier but is quite easy to accomplish - do easy stuff and avoid riskier harder elements. If you think staying on their feet is of foremost importance, then watch skating shows. Skating is an Olympic sport and in a competition, skaters compete mostly on their technical skills (~70%), plus presentation (~ 30%).

It is hard to believe that Wham!'s "Last Christmas" was recorded over 26 years ago! And over the years, many artists and celebrities have covered the now Christmas classic song, including [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Taylor Swift[/lastfm]! See all the versions and vote on your favorite!
Wham!'s Original Song
This might be one of my favorite videos for the song. It really makes me want to go back into the 80's and hang out on the slopes with [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]George Michael[/lastfm]'s friends. Plus, it looks like George and his love interest then fought over the hair spray for a long time while shooting the music video. 2.5 million views on YouTube.
[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Cascada[/lastfm]'s version of the song gives it an upbeat dance/electronic energy to the slow song to the point where you wanna fist pump your way through the song. The video cracks me up because her model ex-boyfriend doesn't match up in appearance in her scrapbook, and all the photos are from catalogs and not really pictures of him. She could have done better than dancing in front of a green screen, but her party she's throwing is kinda rockin'. My friends all say I look like her ex at the end of the music video, and I would agree…but he kind of creeps me out with the lick smack to her. 13.6 million views on YouTube.
Ashley Tisdale
There wasn't even a music video for this song, so I used a lip-synched version of the song. It was pretty painful listening to the whole song as an adult, but I would think young kids would love Ashley Tisdale's pop version of the song, especially if they were High School Musical fans. Not a fan of this version, but she does have some good stage presence. 119,0o0 YouTube Views
Taylor Swift
"Last Christmas" gets a country twist with [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Taylor Swift[/lastfm]'s version. There isn't a music video for this one either, but it seems like a bunch of her fans love the hit by how many views just this one video has on YouTube. The song is pretty good, and it sounds different with the guitars and twangy notes. It just goes to show you that Taylor can sing pretty much anything and the song will become a hit. 3.3 Million views on YouTube.
This is probably my favorite version of the song. I've never heard of this group before, but I love their acoustic, stripped down version of the song. There isn't a music video for this song as well, but no need…the song is too incredible for one. And I have probably given this video all 2,700 views of the song on YouTube too.
Glee's Version
I've only seen a couple episodes of Glee, but this week's episode had the leading couple singing "Last Christmas" to each other. She doesn't even care about picking out a Christmas tree or helping out her "ex" boyfriend. Her only thoughts is to try and harmonize with him. I do like their attempt at the song somewhat, but it isn't a memorable one like other Glee songs I've heard before. 1,000 views on YouTube.
Crazy Frog
I was surprised that [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Crazy Frog[/lastfm] even covered this song! The computer animated "Annoying Thing" is jamming out with his random "Ding Dings!" and "Dong Dongs!" with the song sounding like Cascada's version. The video is pretty good as he tries to save Santa from being locked up in a villain's basement. 10.1 Million views on YouTube.
What is YOUR favorite version of the song? Let us know in the poll and comment section below!

SAN FRANCISCO—With every rap of the bat, AT&T Park got emptier.
First, Jay Bruce doubled home Joey Votto and Chris Heisey, and the aisles got crammed. Then Ryan Hanigan singled home Bruce, and the slow exodus picked up speed. Then a Drew Stubbs triple and a Brandon Phillips double, and ... well, you get the picture.
By the time the top of the eighth inning ended, after the Cincinnati Reds had scored five times to build a 9-0 lead, this gorgeous stadium on the edge of San Francisco Bay was little more than sprinkled with orange rally towels and Buster Posey jerseys. It was a clear sign that this National League Division Series appeared to be well in hand for the Reds, who won by that 9-0 score Sunday night to take a 2-0 lead over the San Francisco Giants in the best-of-five.
— Photo gallery: Images from Games 1 and 2
The crowd did its best to feign enthusiasm for most of the night, but its effort was paper-thin. The Giants did their best to not sound defeated after the game, but they did.
"It seems like the whole series, everything is bouncing their way," Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro said after the worst playoff shutout loss in franchise history. "They have all the momentum. It seems like we can't get a break.
"Every time we try to get something going, they just don't let us."
The Reds did their best to contain their glee, but it soaked through the cloak of humility.
"We won 97 games for a reason. It wasn't a fluke," Bruce, the Reds' right fielder, said. "The season is about sustaining success through an extended period of time and the playoffs is just a small sample size of that. We've done a great job of it so far."
— Details: Recap | Box score | Play-by-play
No National League team has ever come back from an 0-2 deficit in a Division Series. Teams that have gone up two games are 21-for-21 in those situations.
The Reds have pitched better, played better defense and absolutely hit better than the Giants, outscoring their opponent 14-2 in the two games. They made this pitcher-friendly yard look downright tiny.
The offensive output isn't surprising—the Reds have been one of the NL's better hitting teams the past few seasons—but it was a tad unexpected based on the recent past. The Reds were last in the league with 83 runs in September/October, 16 fewer than the next-worst team. They were also last in slugging and on-base plus slugging during that time.
That slump helped contribute to a 16-13 record in the final month-plus, although part of the reason might be that the Reds were the first team in the majors to clinch a playoff berth.
"We slowed down there a bit but you tend to see that when you have a team that clinches as early as we did," left fielder Ryan Ludwick said. "But when you get into the postseason those lights turn on. It's a different game, you know? So far we've played pretty good baseball."
That is an understatement. The Reds had every reason to expect nothing better than a split here. To board their charter flight back home with a 2-0 lead is outstanding, considering that sluggish final stretch and the fact they had to open on the road despite being the No. 2 seed due to baseball's stupid one-year-only playoff format.
They had a built-in excuse to drop Game 1 once ace Johnny Cueto lasted eight pitches before leaving with back spasms. Mat Latos, who had already thrown a side session and worked out as if he wasn't going to pitch, ended up having to take the ball. He gave a strong performance on three days' rest.
"That meant everything for us," Bruce said.
Bronson Arroyo followed that by pitching one of the best games of his career, a seven-inning one-hitter that was shortened only by the Reds hitting for what seemed like an hour in that eighth inning. Manager Dusty Baker chose to lift Arroyo after that long break and turn over the game to the league's best bullpen.
The Giants have already heard about the mountain that no team has climbed, and they'll hear it more over the next day and a half. They will try to not become the 22nd victim.
Unless the Giants do something unprecedented, those fans who left AT&T Park early rather than watch their team sink further into elimination won't have another home game to attend until next spring.

Thought people might be interested in this little puppy: http://beagleboard.org/bone
For people too lazy to click the link, it is a small board powered by a ARM Cortex A8 (720MHz peak) and 256MB RAM. It comes with Angstrom Linux preloaded on a microSD card.
The distro also comes preloaded with perl, python, gcc etc and even Cloud9 javascript IDE. All you need to do is connect to your computer using a single USB cable, and install some drivers and voila, you are connected to its console.
Alternately, you can get a cheap 5V power supply, connect it via ethernet to your router, and you can ssh into it (ssh is enabled by default, no configuration necessary). This is what I have done.
For the hardware hacker types, it also comes with a lot of connectors with some daughter boards and accessories in development.
For others (like me), it is an easy and fun way to play with an ARM board.
It does have a free USB port, not sure if you can say connect a hard drive to it.

Public Enemy's Chuck D and Flavor Flav
Photo: Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic.com
The Week In Music: Mo' Money, Mo' Music
While pennies are still being pinched in some parts of the country, Public Enemy fans are finding that while money can't buy them love…it can buy them a new album from Chuck D and the rest of the hip-hop gang. When the group set up a page on SellABand.com to solicit funds to create a new album, fans came out in droves, helping the group reach their goal of $75,000. "We've had explosive starts, media attention, corporate troubles, media criticism, recalculations, and finally resurgence," said the group in a statement. "When it's all said and done, the bottom line is that we never lost faith in ourselves, our fans and the future of fan-funding as a model." Maybe this model will inspire other public-funding sites such as FundMyTripToEurope, PayOffMyDebt or MakeMeAMillionaire.
Neverland Ranch will be coming to a venue near you in 2011 in the form of Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson, The Immortal World Tour. Scheduled to kick off in Montreal next October, the thriller show will be set in a stylized version of Jackson's famed Southern California home. "It is really about a central character or characters who get transported into this world of Neverland where they learn everything there is to know about Michael," said writer and director Jamie King, who acted as a body double on Jackson's Dangerous tour in the early '90s. Depending on fan response, the tour could extend into 2012 and travel outside North America.
He's already too fast for love, but now Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil is going to try his hand (and feet) at figure skating in ABC's "Skating With The Stars." "I was a figure skater when I was 12," Neil told People.com. "When they called, the people in my office were laughing but I told them, 'I actually used to skate. I haven't skated for a long, long time. I like to do things that sound like fun and this sounds like fun.'" Neil is no stranger to fun, given his tenure in the Crüe and his recently released autobiography and solo album, Tattoos & Tequila. But will he have the skates that kill? We'll have to wait until the show debuts on Nov. 22 to find out.
With the holiday shopping season in full swing, it's time to hunker down and get that gift list together. If you have a metal music fan on your list, you're in luck. Noisecreep has compiled a list of top holiday gift ideas designed to please the roughest and toughest headbanger. Gift ideas include an Andrew W.K. Throbblehead, a Kiss LED TV, a Big Muff bass pedal, mini brass knuckle earrings, a Friday The 13th Jason ski mask, and a Ronnie James Dio statue, among others. If going the ski mask route, we recommend the Taylor Swift pick necklace and Justin Bieber hoodie to round out a totally wicked metal ensemble.
In more holiday gift news, never say these artists didn't stop to smell the roses. MTV's just-in-time-for-holiday-shopping celebrity scent guide lists five new entrants into the musician fragrance wars, including Justin Bieber's My World (dog tags and wristbands infused with a unisex scent), Katy Perry's Purr (sex kitten in a bottle for teenage dreamers), Christina Aguilera's Royal Desire (Xtina's fifth entry into the perfume sweepstakes), Shakira's S By Shakira (with notes of jasmine, sandalwood, vanilla, amber, and our favorite delicate scent, resin), and Rihanna's Reb'l Fleur (in a bottle shaped like an inverted stiletto heel). Splash these on and, in the words of the Bieb, it'll be like baby baby baby ooh.
It may be all about the Benjamins for the rappers, but it's old-school rocker John Lennon who's getting his own money. After a public online vote, Lennon beat out author Jane Austin and Sir Walter Raleigh, among others, as the subject of a British 5 pound commemorative coin. Lennon will join such figures as Winston Churchill, Charles Darwin and William Shakespeare as subjects of special-issue UK coins. But if you want one, hurry. At a run of only 5,000 coins, the Lennon commemorative is likely to become as rare as the Beatles "butcher" cover.
Here at TWIM, we usually avoid politics, but we also recognize it isn't often a musician calls a politician an "a**hat." Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) had apparently been invoking the name of singer Johnny Cash in a pre-election stump joke: "Remember when Ronald Reagan was president?" he said according to The New York Times. "We had Bob Hope. We had Johnny Cash. Think about where we are today. We have got President Obama. But we have no hope and we have no cash." To which Cash's daughter, singer/songwriter Rosanne Cash, tweeted: "John Boehner: Stop using my dad's name as a punchline, you a**hat." Of course, it still shows great decorum next to what California Governor-elect Jerry Brown's camp called Meg Whitman.
Ke$ha's "We R Who We R" debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, while Rihanna's "What's My Name?" featuring Drake, is No. 1 on the iTunes singles chart.

I think that, in general, scientists should try to help us understand as much about the world around us as possible. However, that said, it isn't a free-for-all and there are often really knotty ethical & cultural considerations that need to be addressed - especially in the field of human medical research.
Personally I can only speak as an entomologist and, although I collect insects and am a great supporter of the need to collect in the wider interests of study, I temper that with a respect for life and I like to think that I wouldn't kill even an insect without some good reason. For instance, I might put out a malaise trap that catches 1000s of insects, which I later survey, identify and distribute to other experts in different fields ... but if a wasp comes into my house I will catch it and let it go without harming it
I thin that some questions should be reserched and answered but if the information could be harmful, it should be destroyed.
It is always good to explore the unknown but.... maybe Scientists should learn how to stop.
How would you knowi if something should be investigated if you don;t investigate it?
Everything should be on the table but we should have some regulation as to how gained knowledge should be used for the benefit of humanity and with no harm to anyone. How to regulate this is the next big question.

Hello, there!
I'm hogwartsbookworm, but if you call me Bookworm, I shall give you cookies! Ok, not really… but I'd like you to call me Bookworm anyway. I am a member of the noble and mighty house of Hufflepuff! Normally, right about here I'd tell you that we're awesome, but I bet you already know that.
Anyway, here are a few things you need to know about me so you can decide if you want me to be your Beta.
My PI Accreditation number is: PI:5604525642
The Genres I will do:
General: I would love to help with these!
A note on Poetry: While I enjoy reading Poetry, and have written a little myself, I am not overly confident in my poetry beta-ing skills. I can help with rhythm, understandability, spelling and grammar. If you want more help with your poetry than that, I think another beta would suit you better.
Contest Submissions: Sure, I can do that.
Alternative Universe: Case by case.
Dark/Angsty Fics: I prefer happy endings, but I know that in reality they don't happen all the time. I'll take it.
Romance: Yes! I love romance.
Humor: I would love to beta this! However, I must tell you, I won't be much help with any prank-pulling, Fred/George-esque humor. I'm more into dry wit, and ridiculous humor.
The Ships I will Take: I will take any canon ships (Ron/Hermione for example). I will also take non-canon ships that don't sound too unlikely (Oliver/Katie, etc.). I will not, however, take canon contradicting ships (Draco/Ginny, anyone?) unless the fic has an AU, Book 7 disregarded, or Epilogue? What Epilogue warning slapped onto it, and a lot of explanations about how the world has changed and how it affects the particular character's romantic life. For example, unless you've gotten Ron out of the way somehow, I don't think I'll find Dramione very believable.
Ratings and Warnings I will accept:
1st-2nd years: Most definitely!
3rd-5th years: Sure thing!
Will absolutely do:
Alternative Universe: Yes
Book 7 Disregarded: Yes
Character Death: I don't mind.
DH Spoilers: I've only read DH about a dozen times. I think I can take it.
Epilogue? What Epilogue?: Yes
Mental Disorders: Sure.
None: Oh, yes, please! I would love to.
Will do on the specified conditions:
Abuse: If there isn't too much of it.
Mild Profanity: "Helga's knickers!" and etc. is ok with me. Anything beyond that... No thanks.
Substance Abuse: If it is a house elf on Butterbeer, or a wizard on Firewhiskey, sure. If it's any other substances, the answer is no.
Sexual Situations: If you are the type of person who adds this if you've got a few kisses in the story, sure. If it's more than that then, no, thank you.
Violence: If it is fairly mild or only in one or two chapters.
Won't do:
Any Warning or Rating You Don't See in the Above List. If your fic needs any rating you can't see up there, then I'm sorry, but I'm not the beta for you. I'm quite an innocent beta.
Drabble, One-Shot or Chaptered: I will do any of the three.
My Turn Around Time: For One-Shots or chapters, I'll say 5-10 days. For drabbles, 1-5 days. Any competition entries will take first priority. I check my email quite frequently, and I'm on the boards almost every day, so I should get back to you pretty quickly.
Will I be Permanent Y/N: That is up to you.
My Strengths: I consider myself pretty good with Spelling, Characterization, Canon corrections, and Flow; fairly good with Grammar, and Plot help.
My Weaknesses: British spelling. I'm sorry, I'm not British and I sometimes forget to spell color, 'colour;' realized, 'realised,' etc. I am getting better with my Briticisms, though.
My Style:
Editing Style: Track changes unless it doesn't work for you. Then I'll just leave comments and corrections in red.
Beta Style: Depending on what you would prefer, I can give you a Comprehensive Critique (that is my usual style), or I can cut it to just the Essentials. I'm usually Brutally Honest, but if you like I can try to soften my critiques and be Gentle. I would be happy to look over a chapter multiple times if that is what you feel your story needs – be Flexible – or I can look it over only once just before you submit it. It is up to you.
Additional Help I Can Offer: If you are new to writing, or if English is not your first language (or both), I am very patient and pretty good at understanding misspelled words. I can also offer advice on structuring sentences and paragraphs.
My Preferred Method of Contact: I'll PM you my email, and thereafter I would prefer emailing to communicate.
Any Other Information/Qualifications I'd like to Share: I am very knowledgeable on canon. I have read each Harry Potter book multiple times, and know them very well. In fact, my parents like to joke that I have a selective photographic memory, because they can read me three consecutive sentences from any one of the seven books and I'll tell them what just happened and what is about to happen next at that point in the book.
I have been correcting the grammar and spelling of the people around me for years, including my parents and teachers. I actually have one teacher who frequently turns to me for pronunciation and spelling help in the middle of class if he is unsure. I have always received high grades in English, Spelling and Grammar. I recently took the ACT and scored 99% on the English section and 97% on the Reading section.
Stories I've Beta-ed/am Beta-ing:
The Man Who Couldn't Be Moved by Neigh (CoolCatElly)

Hello guys!!! It's been a long time since I have been here but I ran into a problem today. I am trying to populate a list of strings (I am not using the string library here, pointers. I know strings are easier but some of the libraries I am using are not compatible!!!) So here is what I am trying to accomplish:
Dynamic list of strings:
Here is how I am trying to load my dynamic list:
This is a crude example of what I am doing. Scanf of course does not allocate space but in my example imagine that it does. If this is not how I am supposed to accomplish this, can anyone give me an idea how to fix it? Thanks!!!Code:
char **stringList;
int count;
int LoadList () {
stringList = (char **) malloc (1);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
char *string;
scanf ("%s", string); // i know scanf is bad, this is an example
// also, i know the string would be
// allocated first, but just imagine
// that scanf takes care of that for this
// example

I didn't even know until recently that I was nearing my 1,000th career game. I've always been the type of player who takes things day-by-day, but I guess those days add up after a while.
When I first broke into the big leagues, I was very proud of that accomplishment because it's so hard to get to this level. As time went along, I just followed that day-by-day mantra. Baseball at this level is such a competitive grind that you can't afford to look too far ahead.
Initially, my focus was just to survive in the big leagues for another day, another week, another season. Now I'm closing in on 10 years.
When you start reaching milestones, you come to really appreciate all of the hard times and all of the struggles. You still have to get after it each and every day, but I also know it's important to enjoy the moment.
Reaching a longevity milestone shows a little about who you are, I think. It's a testament to your skills and to what you've accomplished, of course. But it also says something about how you go about your business.
When I look back after I retire -- hopefully that will be about 20 years from now as I track down records set by Julio Franco and Jesse Orosco -- I'll look back and reflect on all of the good times and all of the bad times.
Eventually, whatever the final number of games played is, I will consider myself most fortunate because I have a World Series ring. Not every player can say that, and that championship is the thing I'm most proud of.
I'm also proud of the versatility that I bring to a club. That's been an important factor in my career. I broke in with the Dodgers as an everyday player, more or less. They decided to let me go in 2004, and since then, I've been in more of a utility role. My ability to play different positions has helped.
My brother, Joey, played in more than 1,000 games (1,119), but reaching and surpassing his total wouldn't really mean anything. It's not like I'm competitive with him. I don't see Joey as a baseball player. Instead, I see him as my brother. I'm here because of him.
If I do get close to his number, he'll be very, very proud. It won't be a case of him saying, "Alex beat me." It would be something we would both take pride in.
Alex Cora is closing in on his 1,000th regular season games at the Major League level. He's been to the postseason three times, including the Red Sox's World Series-winning club last season. His older brother Joey is currently a coach with the White Sox.

CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy were dominant on both sides of the ball in Sunday's 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids, but without a red card by Colorado defender Drew Moor that led to an LA penalty kick by Mike Magee, the story could have been different.
The play occurred in the 48th minute when Moor appeared to elbow Sarvas during an off-the-ball challenge resulting in referee Armando Villarreal to give the defender a straight red card and call a penalty. Magee quickly stepped to take the penalty and launched it past 'keeper Clint Irwin for the game winner.
Following the match, Sarvas broke down what exactly happened on the play...
"It wasn't an elbow. It was a hand. He punched me. I have no idea; I have to see the replay. I don't know where it came from. [He] just hit my face and I fell down," said Sarvas. "I didn't say anything to him. He was just walking; I stopped in front of him. I don't know, he probably lost his mind. For sure.
Sarvas was quick to admit that he believes he is still healthy after the foul, but he told reporters that he had not ever been a part of such a challenge in his career.
"[There's ] not many [fouls] like that in soccer," said Sarvas. It's more boxing."
Moor offered his own explanation for the play by saying that he was "disappointed" in himself for the foul.
Video of the play is below...

Yost has gall bladder surgery, back at work
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- What took manager Ned Yost away from Royals camp on Tuesday was the best-kept secret of Spring Training. But let Yost explain.
"I was here until noon," Yost said, with a serious mien. "And then up around Flagstaff, they've got a desert cactus rose that blooms every 75 years and yesterday was the day and I wouldn't miss that."
Slight pause.
"I've got some great pictures," he said.
Yost can spin a yarn. Then he told the real story.
"Yesterday at 5 p.m. I had my gall bladder removed and I'm back rarin' to go today," he said, an ice bag on his abdomen concealed by his uniform top. "It's been bothering me for two years and, being hard-headed, I never got it checked."
After arriving for Spring Training, however, Yost saw a doctor and planned to have the outpatient surgery on Tuesday afternoon.
"I didn't want to fly to Kansas City to do it because I knew I'd be up and going the next day," he said.
Yost left camp shortly before the Royals' intrasquad game and went to St. Joseph Hospital in Phoenix for the surgery by Dr. Bob Evani, one of the D-backs' physicians.
"I got down here in Spring Training and it really started acting up and I had a real bad attack one night and I told Nick [Kenney, team trainer] I had to go check it," Yost said. "And I had two or three big stones. One big stone was completely blocking a duct and they had to get it out of there."
It was an arthroscopic procedure but a larger, more invasive incision was a possibility.
"The problem was when it gets really inflamed, if they can't get in there and identify the anatomy, they've got to cut you wide open, so we were 50-50 going in on what was going to have to happen," Yost said.
To hear Yost tell it, there wasn't much to it.
"Two holes here, a hole here and they got it and yanked it right out," he said.
The surgery came at an opportune moment.
"The doctor said, when he was done, 'We got this out in the nick of time because you were really fixin' to have some problems,'" Yost said.
Yost's wife, Deborah, drove him back to their Surprise hotel about 11 p.m. on Tuesday. He had a chocolate milkshake, went to bed and slept soundly. He got up early, went to the clubhouse and got right back to work on Wednesday morning.
The symptoms had been plaguing Yost for at least two years.
"It just feels like you've got four knives in your side and the rest of your insides are tied in like 50 knots and you can't stand up, you can't lay down. It's just horrible pain, but it generally subsides after four or five hours and you get a little sleep," he said.
"The worst part about it is that it comes after like spicy and greasy foods and one of my favorite things during the summer is to eat barbecue ribs. I'd eat 'em and, sure enough, that night you'd have an attack and I wasn't going through it this summer. Those ribs are too important to me."
Spoken like a true gourmet of Kansas City.
Although the players knew Yost was absent for Tuesday's intrasquad game, they were surprised to hear about his surgery and that he was back to work so quickly.
"Now I cannot tell him I need a day off from throwing, can I?" pitcher Bruce Chen said. "I can't say, 'Oh, I'm a little sore here, I'm going to take a day off.' "
Yost admitted he should have had the surgery done earlier.
"I was stupid not to do it this winter. My wife kept telling me to do it but you just endure it and say, 'I'm fine, I'm fine,'" he said. "But, yeah, I was kind of dumb."
He was asked if he'd listen more to Deborah now.
"Probably not," he said. "I love her but, yeah, I should. I'm a little hard-headed. This was probably a better lesson."

Philadelphia Phillies – Awards: Triples Champions.
In the Phillies' 126-years existance as a member of the National League, the team has won only sixteen triples championships. Ten Phils have won those sixteen titles, with four of them winning multiple titles, while one player would win it while playing for two teams and five players won the title while tied with one or more players.
The first Phil to win the triples title was Hall of Famer Ed Delahanty who won his only triples title of his fine career in 1892 with twenty-one triples. No Phil would win the triples title for the next fifty-five years. The next Phillie player to win the triples title was Harry 'the Hat' Walker, winning it in 1947 playing for both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Phillies, as he hit sixteen triples. Three years later, the third Phil to win the title was Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn who had fourteen triples in 1950, the year that the Phils won their second National League title. Ashburn won his second triples title in 1958 with thirteen triples. Johnny Callison became the fourth Phillie player to win the title, as he was tied with Willie Davis and Maury Wills of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Bill Virdon of the Pittsburgh Pirates, as all four men hit ten triples in 1962. Two years later, in 1964, Rookie of the Year winner Dick Allen became the fifth Phil to win the title, as he was tied with Ron Santo of the Chicago Cubs, with each man getting thirteen triples. The next year, 1965, Callison won his second triples title, this time by himself, as he hit sixteen three-baggers. In 1972, Larry Bowa won the eighth triples title won by a Phil player, the sixth Phil to do so, by hitting thirteen triples. Dave Cash became the seventh Phil to capture the triples title by getting twelve triples in 1976, the year that the Phillies won the first of their three straight National League Eastern Division titles. In 1984, Juan Samuel won the title, the eighth Phillie player to win it, as he tied with Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg of the Cubs, with each man hitting nineteen triples. Samuel won the title outright four years later in 1987, as he hit fifteen triples. In 1999, Bobby Abreu won the twelfth triples title won by a Phillie player, the ninth Phil to do so, as he tied with Neifi Perez of the Colorado Rockies, with each man hitting eleven three-baggers. The tenth and last Phil to win the triples title, Jimmy Rollins, won the first of his, so far, four triples titles by hitting twelve triples in 2001. He won his second title the following year, 2002, with ten three-baggers. Rollins won his third triples title in 2004, as he was tied with Jack Wilson of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Juan Pierre of the Florida Marlins, with all three men hitting twelve triples. Rollins won his fourth and most recent title, the sixteenth won by a Phil, in 2007, as he hit twenty triples.
Of the sixteen titles wins, only three of them were won by a Hall of Famer (Ed Delahanty (1), Richie Ashburn (2)). Jimmy Rollins has so far won the most triples titles as a Phil with four title victories, followed by Ashburn, Juan Samuel and Johnny Callison with two titles wins each. Delahanty is the Phillie player to hit the most triples while winning the title with twenty-one triples, while Johnny Callison (in 1962) and Jimmy Rollins (in 2002) both won the title with the least triples with ten of them. Callison, Dick Allen, Samuel, Bobby Abreu and Rollins each won the triples title while tied with another NL player, with Callison being involved in a four way tie in 1962 and Rollins in a three-men tie in 2004. The Phillies had one triples title win in the 19th Century, eleven in the 20th Century and so far, four triples title wins in the 21st Century.
Who will win the next triples title as a Phillie? Please, that's a no-brainer. J-Roll, who else.

A man made a narrow escape when four teenagers with baseball bats tried to rob him in a Dewsbury park.
The victim was walking home alone through Crow Nest Park, Dewsbury Moor, at about 9pm on Friday August 22 when the group approached him. Two were holding the bats, police said.
One of the suspects demanded the man empty his pockets – but the victim pushed one of them aside and ran out of the park
Detective Constable Richard Brooke, of Huddersfield CID, said: "This was an extremely frightening thing for the victim to have gone through, particularly as he was on his own.
"It was dark at the time so the man has unfortunately been unable to provide descriptions of the suspects.
"I would encourage anyone who may know who these individuals are, and anyone who may have any further information to contact me on 101, or ring Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

Morneau maintains optimism amid homer drought
By Rhett Bollinger and Kelly Erickson / MLB.com
MINNEAPOLIS -- It's been an interesting season for Twins first baseman Justin Morneau.
Morneau is hitting for average, batting .297, and driving in runs, as he leads the team with 36 RBIs. But the slugger has just two homers in 57 games entering Wednesday's contest with the Phillies.
Morneau, who has hit at least 30 homers three times in his career, hasn't homered since April 28 to mark the longest homerless drought of his career. But he's trying to stay positive, focusing on other things such as the fact that he's hitting .355 with runners in scoring position, as well as his 15 doubles.
"It's one of those things where it'll come," Morneau said. "I just have to keep hitting the ball hard. It's frustrating and not what I like to see, but doing other things to help us win, I think I can live with that."
Morneau added he's been trying just about everything he can to figure out why he hasn't hit with his usual power, but hasn't found the answer just yet.
"I've never been through anything like this," Morneau said. "It's frustrating. Sometimes you aren't hitting, but you run into one every once in a while. I'm trying everything I can to get back that swing. I'm doing all the tee work and things I've done in the past. I feel like I've been taking good swings, but I'm not doing what I expect with the ball. But it can be streaky and you can hit three or four in a seven-game span, and all of a sudden something clicks for you."
Morneau had the big hit in Tuesday's 3-2 win with a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning, and said it's at-bats such as those that help his confidence despite the lack of homers.
"I try not to think about it too much, because it'll drive you crazy," Morneau said. "So I'm just going out there and trying to hit the ball hard and eventually it'll turn in the right direction. But right now, I feel like I'm still having productive at-bats and finding ways for us to win ballgames. But it would be nice to hit a three-run homer and put a game out of reach."
Pressley sick, Burton available out of Twins 'pen
MINNEAPOLIS -- Right-handed reliever Ryan Pressly can't seem to catch a break.
Pressly -- who left Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader at Washington early due to a shoulder injury, and missed Tuesday's game against the Phillies -- also missed Wednesday's game not due to injury, but to sickness.
"He came in and the doctors sent him home," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He's sick. Arm-wise, he feels good. But his arm is not going to help us today."
Meanwhile, right-hander Jared Burton was expected to be available Wednesday night. Burton left Saturday's 4-3 win over the Nationals early due to a groin issue. After missing three games -- including Sunday's doubleheader and Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Phillies -- Burton threw a bullpen session Wednesday and reportedly felt no issues in his leg.
"Burton threw out in the bullpen and feels good," Gardenhire said. "I'll talk to [pitching coach Rick Anderson] as we go along here to see how much he threw out there, but his leg felt fine."
Worth noting
• Third baseman Trevor Plouffe, on the disabled list retroactive to May 28 with a strained left calf, is getting close to making his return for the Twins. He went 2-for-4 with a homer in his second rehab game with Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, and will play all nine innings for the Red Wings on Thursday. Plouffe is already eligible to return from the DL, and could be back as soon as this weekend.
• Outfielder Wilkin Ramirez has been showing good progress, but still isn't quite past the symptoms stemming from his concussion suffered on May 25. He remains on the 7-day disabled list, and there is still no official timetable for his return, but he has resumed light baseball activities. He's been taking swings off a tee and running, but the Twins aren't sure yet if he'll need to go on a rehab assignment.
• Right-hander Alex Meyer, who was acquired in the trade that sent Denard Span to the Nationals, had an MRI exam on his right shoulder on Tuesday after feeling discomfort. But it came back clean, according to Twins general manager Terry Ryan. Meyer is currently on the 7-day DL at Double-A New Britain, but the MRI confirmed the injury is not serious.

Michelle and Barack Obama Wedding Picture and Quotes
Michelle Obama on Barack and Their Anniversary: "He's the Same Man I Fell in Love With"
We are thrilled to share the next answer in our series with First Lady Michelle Obama. Early voting has begun, so don't forget to register at GottaVote.com! This week is a big one for the Obama family — not only is it the first presidential debate, but it's also Barack and Michelle's wedding anniversary. For that reason, we're focusing on her husband and daughters this week. Remember to join us tonight for our debate pre- and postshows on PopSugar LIVE!
"This is a big week for Barack and me, and not just because of all that's happening on the campaign. On Oct. 3, 1992, Barack and I were married in Chicago — and every day since, I've grown prouder and more in love with him. So I want to thank everyone who sent along lovely anniversary wishes this week, and I'm looking forward to answering some more of your questions here at PopSugar."
PopSugar's Molly G. asks, "What is the thing that has impressed you the most about your husband as you have watched him grow over the past 20 years and in his presidency?"
"One of the things I've seen as first lady is that there are no easy decisions that reach the Oval Office. The problems that reach the president's desk are always the tough ones, where the stakes are high and there's no margin for error. And the truth is, no matter how much data you have or how many advisors you consult, your judgments always come down to who you are and what you stand for."
To read the rest of Michelle's answer just
"That's what I meant at our convention, when I said that being president doesn't change who you are — it reveals who you are. Over the last few years, I've seen Barack make a lot of tough calls. From pushing for healthcare reform, to stepping in to save the auto industry, to bringing Osama bin Laden to justice, he's proven that he's going to have the backs of the American people.
And so it may sound strange, but one of the things that has impressed me most about Barack is how little he has changed as president. He's still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago, who believes that if you work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to build a decent life for yourself and your family. He's still the same man I saw turn down high-paying jobs on Wall Street to fight for workers as a community organizer in Chicago. It's his consistency and his unwavering commitment to his values and core principles that not only inspires me, it gives me great trust in how he will continue to lead our country as president."
We are still taking questions! There are three ways to participate:
1. You can leave your question in the comments section here on PopSugar.com
2. You can tweet using the hashtag #POPSUGAR2012
