 You can't say the same for Joyce, a 23-year veteran who coupled his name with Don Denkinger when he inexplicably called Cleveland's Jason Donald(notes) safe at first with an infield hit. Replays clearly showed that Galarraga's foot beat Donald to the bag by a full step and Tigers manager Jim Leyland chewed Joyce out — deservedly so — both directly after the play and right after Galarraga retired the next Indians batter for what basically amounted to a 28-out perfect game. And after first base umpire Jim Joyce blew the call on what would have been the 27th out, as fans booed and the announcers went crazy, what did pitcher Armando Galarraga do? He smiled, readjusted his cap and headed back to the mound to finish the game. It brings tears to our eyes just thinking about it. "I thought he beat the throw. I was convinced he beat the throw, until I saw the replay," he said after the Tigers' 3-0 win. Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said Joyce asked to speak with Galarraga. Denied the first perfect game in Tigers history, Galarraga appreciated the gesture. Tags: armando galarraga, jim joyce, armando galarraga perfect game, jim joyce umpire, espn   |

| Fran Drescher Ex-Husband Peter Marc Jacobson Is Gay Posted: 03 Jun 2010 01:20 PM PDT
 "Peter and I met when we were 15," Fran tells In Touch. "We were just kids and didn't know who we truly were. We went through a lot together." The couple split for good in 1999, and according to an insider, Peter later came out of the closet to Fran. They continue to collaborate and are still "the best of friends. We love each other dearly," she says. "We have even fixed each other up! I more successfully than him, by the way." They're even working together on a new sitcom based on their relationship. "Peter and I feel so blessed to have met each other and to still have a caring, loving relationship," Fran says. "Love is what we're all about."In a bombshell interview with In Touch Weekly, Fran Drescher has revealed that her ex-husband, Peter Marc Jacobson, to whom she was married for more than 21 years, is gay. Francine Joy "Fran" Drescher (born September 30, 1957) is a Jewish American film and television actress, comedian, screenwriter, television director, producer, author, activist and political lobbyist. Drescher is best known for playing Fran Fine on the television series The Nanny, for which she was nominated for two Emmys and Golden Globe Award.

| Vandersloot Peru The Prime Suspect Of Natalee Holloway Posted: 03 Jun 2010 01:12 PM PDT
 Aruban Prosecutor Peter Blanken said that an Interpol international arrest warrant has been issued for van der Sloot, who may, according to some reports, be on the run from police. The Dutch Foreign Affairs Department in the Netherlands has notified their people in Chile to be aware that Joran may be in Chile. Five years ago, in May 2005, Alabama high school student Natalee Holloway disappeared during a senior class trip to Aruba. She was last seen leaving a bar with Joran van der Sloot. Van der Sloot has been detained several times, but never charged. Authorities in Chile confirmed van der Sloot entered their country Monday and said there was no record of him leaving. Police Inspector Douglas Rodriguez in Arica told The Associated Press that police were searching hotels and homes in northern Chile for the suspect. The killing occurred exactly five years after the May 30, 2005, disappearance of Holloway in Aruba, a Dutch Caribbean island. Prosecutors said van der Sloot is still their main suspect in the case even though he had to be released for lack of evidence.

| Bud Selig With Galarraga Riding On The Shoulders Posted: 03 Jun 2010 01:04 PM PDT
"While the human element has always been an integral part of baseball, it is vital that mistakes on the field be addressed," Selig said in a statement. "Given last night's call and other recent events, I will examine our umpiring system, the expanded use of instant replay and all other related features." Selig said he would consult with baseball's labor unions and the game's special committee for on-field matters before announcing any decisions. Selig also praised umpire Jim Joyce, whose blown call in the bottom of the ninth cost Galarraga the perfect game, for his handling of the situation afterwards, as well as Galarraga and Tigers manager Jim Leyland. Allan Huber "Bud" Selig (born July 30, 1934) is the ninth and current Commissioner of Major League Baseball, having served in that capacity since 1992 as the acting commissioner, and as the official commissioner since 1998. Selig oversaw baseball through the 1994 strike, the introduction of the wild card, interleague play, and the merging of the National and American leagues under the Office of the Commissioner. He was instrumental in organizing the World Baseball Classic in 2006. Selig also introduced revenue sharing. He is credited for the financial turnaround of baseball during his tenure with a 400 percent increase in the revenue of MLB and annual record breaking attendance. Selig enjoys a high level of support from baseball owners, but has been widely decried by both the MLB Players' Union for his policies and by the general public for presiding over the game during one of its most contentious periods.[citation needed] Jerome Holtzman, Major League Baseball's official historian from 1999 until his passing in 2008, believed that Selig was the best commissioner in baseball history. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig finally spoke out on instant replay in the wake of Armando Galarraga's perfect game that wasn't, but those expecting swift changes or a reversal of Jim Joyce's blown call shouldn't hold their breath.

| Mexico Vs Italy Live Scoring and Thunder Reporting Posted: 03 Jun 2010 01:00 PM PDT
The Italians are heavily favored to win, and with Mexico having been defeated recently by both England and the Netherlands, you would expect them to lose to the Azzurri as well. Aguirre's side offers a good test for Italy because El Tri's style of play is similar to that of Paraguay, the team that the defending champions will face on June 14. But expect a slow type of game as Italy will likely focus more on defending rather than attacking, as illustrated by their last three friendly encounters. The match kicks-off at 19:15 CET (1:15 p.m. ET) at King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, Belgium. You can watch Mexico vs. Italy live online (en vivo, free live stream). México vs Italia, México v México: Mexico will take on Italy in a friendly match at the King Baldwin on 03-Jun-2010 at 7:15:00 PM CET.

| Gary Coleman 911 Call The Blood Ways Posted: 03 Jun 2010 12:55 PM PDT
"He just got home, I heard this big bang, I went downstairs. Blood everywhere. I don't know if he's okay. I'm not down there right now because I have a fever, if I get stressed out I'm going to faint," she told the operator. "He fell. His head is bloody. There's blood all over the floor. I don't know what happened," Price We realize Shannon Price suffers from seizures and was in the throes of trauma, but she certainly doesn't come off very sympathetic here ... or useful. The 911 call was placed Wednesday, before the actor was hospitalized. Gary Coleman died Friday morning when Shannon removed him from life support. Might his brain hemorrhage have been prevented or treated more effectively after a swifter response? Might she have waited longer to see if he recovered?

| Resurgence Map Pack Release Time Posted: 03 Jun 2010 12:43 PM PDT
"The title update for #MW2 is now being rolled out to all Xbox LIVE users. It may be a few hours until everyone has it." Larry Hryb considered the "title update" for a good reason. The vital bits of software prepare the game to accommodate the new material. When the Stimulus Package Map Pack started in March, Microsoft didn't push out the title update in time. So, when gamers paid their $15 to download the expansion from Xbox Live, the software directed nowhere. Maps didn't load same with the key images. A lot of people are getting excited over the XBOX and PS3 Release for the Resurgence Map Pack, If you are looking for the details on the release date and on what time would the Release time for the Resurgence Map Pack be. This is Another Modern Warfare expansion similar to the Stimulus Package DLC map hack. The Resurgence Map Pack Release Day is noted to be Today. Xbox Live can get and download the Resurgence Map Pack now with just 1,200 Microsoft Points ($15). PC and PS3 Users will again have to wait for the Resurgence Map Pack Release Time that will still be this summer.

| Maytag Dishwasher Recall Fire Risk Posted: 03 Jun 2010 12:41 PM PDT
Liquid rinse-aid can leak from the dispenser of certain Maytag brand and Jenn-Air brand dishwashers and come into contact with the dishwasher's internal wiring which can short-circuit and ignite, posing a fire hazard. CPSC advises consumers to immediately stop using the recalled dishwashers and disconnect the electric supply by shutting off the fuse or circuit breaker controlling it. Maytag told the CPSC a dozen consumers reported problems with the heating element that started several fires including one that caused extensive kitchen damage. Maytag had an even larger recall in 2007 involving more than 2 million dishwashers that was prompted by 135 reports of fire caused by faulty wiring. The recall involves Maytag® and Jenn-Air® under counter or portable plastic tub dishwashers. The dishwashers have black, white, almond, bisque and stainless steel front panels. The following model and serial numbers are printed on a label located on the dishwasher's plastic frame on top of or to the left of the door opening. Consumers should contact Maytag to determine if their dishwasher is included in this recall. Tags: maytag, maytag recall dishwasher, maytag dishwasher, maytag recall, dishwasher recall   |
| Braxton Miller Ranked As Either The No. 1 or No. 2 Posted: 03 Jun 2010 12:38 PM PDT
School: Wayne Height: 6 ft - 2 inches Weight: 185 lbs Position: QB-Quarterback Class of: 2011 Home Town: Huber Heights State: Ohio Rank: 20 Profile Views: 36597 Offers: Ohio State,USC, Alabama, Cincinnati, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Tennesse, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Florida Once he set his decision date most everyone assumed that Huber Heights Wayne quarterback Braxton Miller would pledge his services to Ohio State, and that is exactly what happened. In a press conference at his school, Miller donned the Scarlet and Gray to become commitment number 12 for the Buckeyes. Then he should fall into the already established Pryor Plan as a dual-threat quarterback ready to run Ohio State's multiple offense early in his career. He is elusive and quick for his size and displays some start and stop ability. Outside of the pocket he is very dangerous because of his athleticism yet he can stand tall in the passing game and deliver to all areas of the field with confidence from within the pocket. He is clearly in command of this scheme and makes good decisions with the football. Hits his target and shows good balance and set up to be consistently accurate. Overall, Miller will be one of the hotter commodities in this class of QB's and not just as a dual-threat, but as a passer. Very good player with upside to be an elite guy at the BCS level with further development. Tags: braxton miller   |
| Bea Arthur A Shaded Picnic Area Posted: 03 Jun 2010 12:34 PM PDT
This 1-acre dog park features a large expanse of lawn, double-gated entrance, a water station, a toy bin, a shaded picnic area, and an easy-access ramp for dog-paddling in the Elizabeth River. In a beautiful picturesque location by the water, it is conveniently close to downtown Norfolk, and right near the Cruise lines port. What's better? It is open 24/7 and is to be enjoyed free of charge! Beatrice "Bea" Arthur (May 13, 1922 – April 25, 2009) was an American actress, comedian and singer whose career spanned seven decades. Arthur achieved fame as the character Maude Findlay on the 1970s sitcoms All in the Family and Maude, and as Dorothy Zbornak on the 1980s sitcom The Golden Girls, winning Emmy Awards for both roles. A stage actress both before and after her television success, she won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her performance as Vera Charles in the original cast of Mame (1966). "Golden Girls was such a happy time in our lives. But I will also remember her in her one-woman show," said White, 87. "To see her get up on that stage and command it as a one-woman show was really mind-boggling." Tags: estelle getty, rue mcclanahan death, rue mcclanahan, betty white, golden girls   |

| Blanche Devereaux No, don’t take Skippy Posted: 03 Jun 2010 12:27 PM PDT
Blanche Devereaux was one of the four main characters on the 1985-1992 NBC sitcom The Golden Girls, and its CBS spin-off The Golden Palace. In the pilot episode her last name was given as Hollingsworth, but this was somewhat "corrected" in later episodes by making this her maiden name. Blanche was portrayed by the late Rue McClanahan for 8 years and 206 episodes. Blanche Elizabeth Marie Devereaux (maiden name; Hollingsworth) was one of the four main characters on the 1985-1992 NBC sitcom The Golden Girls, and its CBS spin-off The Golden Palace. In the pilot episode her last name was given as Hollingsworth, but this was somewhat "corrected" in later episodes by making this her maiden name. Blanche was a Southern Belle, somewhat selfish and vain with a seemingly endless list of paramours and stories of outlandish romantic escapades. She was portrayed by Rue McClanahan, who won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy in 1986 for her performance.

| Lexus Supercar Released and Designed Posted: 03 Jun 2010 06:28 AM PDT
 Inside, the LF-A is designed as a luxury high-speed capsule that blends extravagant comfort with precision operation. Although it is about five inches shorter in length than the Porsche 911 Turbo, its wheelbase is nine inches longer. At 48 inches, it is nearly identical in height to the Ferrari F430. And with a width of 73.2 inches, it splits the difference between the Mercedes Benz SL55 and the Aston Martin DB9. While the LF-A makes a major statement in how Lexus would define exotic sports car performance, it was conceived to express the emergence of a new direction in styling for the Lexus brand, globally. But simply having the $350,000 to buy one of the 500 LFAs Lexus plans to produce won't be enough: Buyers must be tapped by the company to be owners. People selected to purchase the car will be based on factors such as the other cars they own, where they live, and how often and where they drive. Potential buyers must apply through an authorized Lexus distributor. Lexus first introduced the LFA as a concept car at the 2005 Detroit auto show. LFA deliveries will start in early 2011, and only 20 of the hand-built cars will be produced each month, up to the maximum quantity of 500. Production starts in December at Toyota's Motomachi plant in Japan, and buyers can customize their cars with various colors and wheel designs, among other options.

Natalee Ann Holloway (born October 21, 1986) disappeared on May 30, 2005, during a high school graduation trip to Aruba, a Caribbean country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The American student from Mountain Brook, Alabama, Holloway graduated from Mountain Brook High School on May 24, 2005, shortly before the trip. Her disappearance caused a media sensation in the United States. Criminal police chief Gen. Cesar Guardia told a news conference that Joran van der Sloot was being sought in the Sunday killing of 21-year-old Stephany Flores in a Lima hotel. Guardia said the suspect fled the country the next day by land to Chile. Van der Sloot is suspected in the weekend stabbing death of Stephany Flores Ramirez, 21, whose body was found Wednesday wrapped in a bloody blanket in a hotel room in Lima, Peru, CBS said. Chief of detectives Col. Miguel Canlla says she was killed Sunday, and her father says van der Sloot appears with her in video taken at a Lima casino early Sunday.
