| Ex-reliever Beck, 38, found dead
Rod Beck, a relief pitcher who wore a bushy mustache while earning 286 career saves, was found dead Saturday. He was 38.
Beck was found by police officers responding to a call to his home in suburban Phoenix, according to police department spokesman Andy Hill. Foul play is not suspected, though the cause of death might not be known for several days.
With long hair framing a menacing stare and an aggressive arm swing before delivering a pitch, the outgoing right-hander was a memorable baseball personality and a three-time All-Star who twice led the NL in saves. He spent the first seven of his 13 major league seasons with the San Francisco Giants.

2007: What
A Year!
Looking Back (to back to back)
This past year will long be remembered as the one that put Boone on the national map after the Appalachian State Mountaineers pulled what has been hailed as the college football upset of the century — defeating Michigan 34-32 on Sept. 1 in Ann Arbor. The implausible win was a prelude to the Mountaineers’ third consecutive national championship. For a look back on the year that was, please read on. January
• RedTail Mountain, a gated residential community situated 20 miles northwest of Boone, unveils its plans to the public. The community occupies land formerly known as Roan Valley Country Club Estates. The property features an 18-hole golf course and a private lake house and dock on Watauga Lake.
UPDATE: Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman have a baby ...
I figured the mother's of the people responsible for Superficial sent their little babies to 'sleepy time' around seven in the evening. Yay. I really am not looking foward to all these new celebrity babies. People have children all the time and it's no big deal, admittedly. To the parents, yeah, it's huge having a baby, whatever -- because people just can't believe that they reproduce -- it's absolutely amazing! Sure, breeder. You put your genitals together and what did ya' think would happen? By the way, other people could care less about your baby. It's your child. Just; and who fucking cares? No, Dick, you just don't understand! You just don't get it. Yes, for once you're right. I don't understand the importance; thank god! Celebrities are the worst too, because they somehow think that they're heroes for having children.
