Watching game five with my father. He's in a hospital bed recovering from surgery performed Saturday. Watching the Lakers victory with him made for two great birthday presents.

THX-1138: Larry O"Brien was Postmaster General under President Lyndon Johnson. Onetime NBA Commissioner. Last but not least, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee at the time of the Wategate break in. It was O'Brien's office that was the burglar's target.

Twitter has since announced on June 6th what they are calling "verified accounts." These accounts will have a logo indicating that if the message is from some public official or agency then it really is them and not an impostor. I'd expect twitter hopes the rich and famous will be next in line for these verified accounts.

HCG was placed on the banned substances list last year not because it's a steroid, but because it's used as a masking agent for steroids. Finding this substance in Ramirez's system is MLB's stated reason for his suspension. If Ramirez should do any court depositions BornIcon's semantics point will be made a great deal of.

I am a Dodgers fan. When Manny comes back and hits that first homerun, I'll cheer like mad then hate myself later.

ESPN is reporting that the banned substance is called HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin.) Used more commonly as a masking agent for steroids.

Cubs seem to make the headlines for the 7th inning singalongs as much as their winning.
