I was a shoo-in to run a PR during this morning's Three Amigos 4 Mile Run held by the Fort Worth Runners Club.I was a shoo-in because I'd never run a 4-mile race before.Still, I wasn't feeling so good about a "respectable" time. My legs were dead because on Saturday, I ran 6 miles, with the last four in 8:04; 7:43; 7:41; and 8:05. It was six miles of what had been a 32-mile week.Also Saturday: I h

The Cleveland Indians on Tuesday suffered a blow to their pitching rotation as they placed starter Jake Westbrook on the 15-day disabled list with a muscle strain in his ribs; the move is retroactive to Sunday as Westbrook's last pitching appearance was on Saturday in Cleveland's loss to the Minnesota Twins. Westbrook, prior to his injury, had made 4 starts for the Indians while recording a 2.73 ERA.

As the old saying goes, there's a first time for everything; that holds especially true for Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins as according to the Associated Press, Rollins was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained left ankle; it was originally hurt nearly two weeks ago when he was running the bases against the New York Mets on May 8. As a result, Eric Bruntlett has started at shortstop for the 11th consecutive game, batting only .179 with a home run and an RBI. Other than Tomas Perez back in 2000, Bruntlett is the first Phillies SS besides Rollins to start 10 games at the position. Prior to the injury, Rollins was batting .308 with 2 doubles, 2 HRs, 6 RBIs and 2 stolen bases.

Yediot Ahronot correspondent Itamar Eichner reports in today's edition that an officer in Israeli Military Intelligence revealed in a briefing by FM Livni to foreign ambassadors that "before the IDF attacks Qassam workshops or warehouses it distributes flyers asking the residents to evacuate the area. But Hamas exploits the flyers and places small children on the rooftops in order to foil the attacks. And thus because of this trick the IDF is forced to halt many such bombings at the last moment.""We are working with our hands tied because of all these laws and because we are part of the free world and because this is part of our values," FM Livni said.Via Jihad Watch

So this was something I wasn't aware of. If Recchi is picked up by a team now, they will only have to pay half of his salary. This is probably why Recchi was placed on re-entry waivers. So other teams could get him at a bargain. No doubt, teams have been inquiring about Recchi since he cleared waivers this week and that is why the Kamloops native is being called back up.Now the waiver priority rule applies. As the current standings are, the worst team gets the first priority to sign him.That would put Washington in the driver's seat. If Caps management had any brains, they would take him. Washington needs something more, especially a veteran. But don't count on GM George to sign Recchi.There are rumors that Phoenix, San Jose and Carolina are interested in his services. Like Spector says: expect Recchi to have a new home by noon eastern tomorrow.And that...is a good thing.**Way to go, Don Waddell. The Thrashers have signed Recchi. Wise move. As for the 10 teams that declined: you'

Non-OPEC production lagsWhen oil prices tumbled to $10 a barrel in 1998, the world expected non-OPEC countries to ramp up production, provided the price of crude recovered. Nine years later, history tells a different story. Maturing assets in key producer regions, soaring costs, tougher tax regimes and a shortage of trained personnel are stymieing output even as benchmark crude prices edge closer to $100 a barrel. The trend has left oil producers within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries better placed to take advantage of soaring oil prices than those outside the group. The shortfall from non-OPEC producers has also contributed to the tightness in global oil supplies, further pushing crude prices toward record territory. According to the U.S. Energy Information Agency, non-OPEC output remained nearly flat from 2004 to 2007, rising from 41.5 million barrels a day in 2004 to 41.9 million barrels a day this year despite the run- up in prices. The 2007 forecast from the

If you have a car, you definitely will have at least ONE car sticker, which is the road tax. Most of us will have 2 -3 car stickers, one of it, the road tax, then maybe another sticker is for your car to enter your housing area, then probably will have the insurance car sticker, the parking lots car sticker, club membership car sticker, the 'P' sticker and etc.Where do we normally placed these car stickers? Well, normally people will placed it on the left bottom of the front screen, one by one from down to up. I've seen ppl placed it at the middle of the front screen, although it looks a bit weird to me, but as long as it doesn't blocked the driver's sight, then it should be ok.BUT today, i saw someone placed the car sticker on her right side of the front screen. Not right bottom but right middle!! although the sticker is transparent, but still it's blocking her sight!! I wonder why she did that!! road tax on the left middle, then that car sticker (should be her housing area one)

From Khaleej Times OnlineBEIJING - China is well placed to deal with a slowdown in the world economy and its conservative investment strategy has helped limit the impact of the US subprime crisis, the World Bank said Wednesday.Strong fiscal and trade positions will allow China the room to adjust its policies and respond to a slowdown in the world economy despite an unavoidable weakening in Chinese exports, the World Bank said in a report.‘China has a very strong macroeconomic position when you think about fiscal position, external position,’ senior China economist Louis Kuijs told reporters at the launch of the World Bank’s latest quarterly update on China’s economy.‘That means that China would have the room to adjust macroeconomic policies if there is a slowdown in the world economy.’He said a moderate slowdown could even help China rebalance its economy, which roared ahead at a breakneck 11.9 percent in the second quarter, with a surging trade surplus and high inflation t
