MPR: North Dakota governor lays out plan for $1.2 billion surplus.
I do not understand this "surplus" of which you speak. Maybe NohDak could invest in shiny baubles California state bonds??
OMFG, this is one lucky kid. (With DB parents)
My favorite bit, which I assume is tongue-in-cheek:
The Giants would become overnight favorites to win the NL West with Ramirez and the pitching staff they have already assembled.
As for the Dodgers, no worries, they would still have Juan Pierre to fill Ramirez's shoes in left field.
Smoking ban leads to major drop in heart attacks according to a new study published by the Centers for Disease Control's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. This was basically a case-control study, comparing heart attack rates in Pueblo, CO to two control sites (Pueblo County outside the city limits; and El Paso County, which includes Colorado Springs).

2 years, $17.5M, reportedly, with options and stuff, plus they give up a first-round pick to Colorado. Last year, league average ERA for a relief pitcher was 4.09. Marcel the Monkey projects Fuentes to have a 3.69 FIP next year. Probably an overpay, but there's plenty of upside.
Even though Joe C bothers with errors and fielding percentage, I give him a bunch of credit for pointing this out and at least throwing some RZR/OOZ in there.
19 of Bora's 20 free agents remain unsigned. Will Boras wane in his influence? Will Mark Teixeira get a bazillion dollars? Stay tuned.
ESPN reports that Yankee Stadium bleacher seats for exhibition opener to cost 25 cents. Cool enough. But it also reports that some seats in the new stadium are priced at $2500 a game. That's over $200,000 for a season ticket.

When asked to name the ten most influential guitarists of the 20th century, Chet Atkins placed Django Reinhardt at the top. He ranked himself fifth.

that's pretty cool, E-6. Where did he rank Charo?
Great clip.

tasty selection today

Oh, sure. I finally play something that should be right in Jeff A's wheelhouse, and he's too busy jacking up his comment total in the playoff threads to even notice.
In addition to Atkins, Reinhardt's influence can be heard in everyone from Bob Wills Texas Playboys, all the way through Willie Nelson's graceful finger-picking.

I was so stunned that there was actual music in this feature two days in a row that I didn't know what to say.
Seriously, this was really nice. It's a style of music you don't hear very often any more, but I really enjoy it.

Kairfull, or I'll have you talking to the Hand again. That dude has a week's worth of songs on the Intertubes, easy.
