Line drive to the foot ends Tigers RHP Matt Mannings season

Detroit Tigers starting right-hander Matt Manning was placed on the injured list on Thursday for the second time this season after taking a line drive to the right foot -- the second fracture ending his season. Manning was pitching in the first inning Wednesday night against the host New York Yankees when slugger Giancarlo Stanton hit a 119.5-mph comebacker to the mound that caromed off Manning's right foot. Manning was still able to finish the play by making an underhand toss to first baseman Spencer Torkelson for the third out, but his night and season were over. He did not figure into the decision of the Yankees' 4-3 victory. Manning went on the 15-day IL on Thursday. In a corresponding move, the Tigers recalled right-hander Trey Wingenter from Triple-A Toledo. Wingenter, 29, is 1-0 with a 7.00 ERA in nine innings over 10 appearances for the Tigers this season. He is 0-1 with a 7.06 ERA in 21 2/3 innings over 24 games (two starts) at the Triple-A and Single-A levels this season. The 25-year-old Manning also sustained a fractured toe on his right foot after the Toronto Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk connected for a comebacker on April 11, causing Manning to miss more than two months. "Yeah, kind of right when it happened, I was just annoyed that it was the same foot. Same spot, basically," Manning said. "And I was like, 'Ah, I don't know if it's broken; I hope it's not.' Made the play, though, that's cool." Manning is 5-4 with a 3.58 ERA, 21 walks and 50 strikeouts in 78 innings over 15 starts this season -- 13 after returning from his first fracture on June 27. "You can count probably on one hand how many pitchers have gotten hit in the foot with line drives this season; he's had it twice. That's incredibly unlucky," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. "119 (mph) off any part of your body is going to probably put you on the injured list. ... There's not much you can do once you go through your delivery and the dude smokes a ball off of you. All you can do is hope that the X-ray is going to come back negative. This one didn't."

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating. A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....
